83 Skole se skolenuus, reggekies Die eerste AWSUM koerant is in Mei-maand in die Boland streek bekendgestel met 9 laerskole en 7 hoërskole, minwetend dat die koerant binne 7 maande in nóg 3 streke bekendgestel sou word, naamlik Helderberg, Suid-Kaap en Noordelike Voorstede. Slegs 6 maande later is 83 skole reeds deel van die AWSUM koerant wat se naam alles sê: ons som die BESTE skolenuus op en bring dit tot op jou voorstoep. Iemand het die eerste uitgawe `n “vars bries in die advertensie-wêreld” genoem, omdat dié bries oor hoe en waar om te adverteer oor die hele Wes-Kaap begin waai het. “Ons het koppe bymekaar gesit oor hoe ons ons skoolprodukte gaan uitbou en skole blootstelling in die omgewing te gee en dis toe dat AWSUM gebore is. Daar is met groot opgewondenheid weggespring en ons hoop dat elkeen wat nou met `n AWSUM in sy hand sit, die passie vir ons gemeenskap deel.” Die koerant, wat meer neig na `n koerant-tydskrif, het oor die 7 maande ontwikkel van net `n skole-
blad, na `n koerant wat nuus en brokkies het vir die hele familie. Die AWSUM Kombuis bied `n lekker resep vir ma en sussie om te maak, terwyl die seuns graag die sanggroep van die maand se onderhoud lees in “Op die AWSUM Tracks”. Die koerant-afdelings sluit in Lifestyle, Health, Beauty and Wellness, Financial asook Entertainment. Die nuwe Trends gedeelte fokus op motors, eiendom en wat in jou omgewing die moeite werd is vir jou shopping basket. Vinnig-vinnig het ons besef dat daar ouma’s oral oor is wat ook graag die koerant wil lees en het dit vir hulle moontlik gemaak deur die koerant aanlyn beskikbaar te stel by www.awsum.co.za. Graag wil ons vir ons 210 000 maandelikse lesers dankie sê vir julle positiewe terugvoer en ondersteuning en wens aan elkeen `n geseënde feesvakansie toe. Groete, Die AWSUM-span

Join the biking bandwagon Mountain biking is ranked as one of the fastest growing sports in South Africa today. Cycling SA has recently renewed its support for schools to promote and embrace mountain biking, with the aim of building recognition for this Olympic sporting discipline in the school sport structure. MTB is a family-friendly activity suitable for young and old and an opportunity to meet new people and socialising on the trail – it’s all part of the adventure. If mountain biking is already one of your hobbies, you probably know the best spots by now. New trails are opening up all the time, but there are some timeless classics in some glorious surroundings such as in the Cederberg mountains, the Drakensberg, within sight of whales at De Hoop or in the Knysna forests. Some trails and tracks are as short as 10km, while others, like the magnificent Cederberg Mountain Bike Trail in Clanwilliam,
can take you over 170 km of the most dramatic rocky terrain you could wish for. The sport is growing so fast that there are now a number of mountain biking schools to teach you the skills to get the best out of – your equipment – and the terrain you move through.

Dr. Adriaan Pentz (Oor-, neus- en keelspesialis Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the inside of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mould or certain animal danders. Allergic rhinitis often causes cold-like symptoms, such as sneezing, itchiness and a blocked or runny nose. Some people only experience allergic rhinitis for a few months at a time because the allergens they are sensitive to, such as tree or grass pollen, are only produced at certain times of the year. Other people experience the condition all year round because they are sensitive to nonseasonal allergens, such as animal fur. In cases of allergic rhinitis, the immune system reacts to an allergen as if it were harmful. If your immune system is oversensitive, it will react to allergens by producing antibodies to fight them off. After you develop sensitivity to an allergen, whenever it comes into contact with the inside of your nose and throat, it cause the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as swelling of the mucous membrane- which blocks the airway and causes congestion, and production of excess mucous - which causes sneezing and a runny nose. Allergic rhinitis is triggered by breathing in tiny particles of allergens. The most common airborne allergens that cause allergic rhinitis are house dust mites (present all year round), tree and grass pollen (present in spring), animals (cats and dogs) and moulds. Some people are more likely to develop an allergy because it runs in their family. If this is the case, you are said to be atopic or to have atopy. Environmental factors also seem to play a part.
Studies have shown certain things may increase the chance of a child developing allergies. These include: growing up in a house where people smoke, exposure to dust mites, exposure to pets, using antibiotics. Allergic rhinitis is usually confirmed when medical treatment starts. If the exact cause of allergic rhinitis is uncertain, you may be referred for allergy testing. The two main allergy tests are skin prick tests and blood tests. You should visit your GP if your symptoms are affecting your quality of life, and self-help measures have not been effective.Medication will not cure your allergy, but it can be used to treat the common symptoms, such as a runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing. These include antihistamines, corticosteroids (nasal spray or drops) and nasal decongestants. The best way to prevent an allergic reaction however is to avoid the allergen that causes it.

Safe in the sun this summer When your skin’s been exposed to too much sun, you get what’s known as sunburn. Sunburn can cause blisters and it can lead to heat stroke, even skin cancer when you are an adult. Therefore, be careful this upcoming holiday! If you’re out in the sun playing on the beach, it’s easy to get heat exhaustion. A kid with heat exhaustion might feel overheated, tired, and weak but heat stroke is a more serious condition and can cause someone to feel dizzy, develop headaches, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing and a high fever with nausea and vomiting. You might become uncoordinated, confused, or even lose consciousness. It requires emergency medical attention.
Top Summer safety tips: •
• •
•
Always wear sunscreen. Use a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher. Put sunscreen 15 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, just to be safe. Take frequent breaks from the sun by going indoors or moving into the shade. Drink enough water. Drink up and don’t wait until you’re thirsty. It is recommended you drink water about every 20 minutes if you are active. Limit sun exposure during the peak intensity hours, between 10:00 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon, when the sun’s rays are strongest.

4 NOVEMBER 2013 Tips to own the beach
Enter a world of quality service
Dreading the beach this holiday due to low self-esteem, here are some tips to own it! •
•

•
•
Tanned skin always looks slimmer and sexier. Before you go on holiday, apply a fake tan three times a week for at least a month and you’ll have a beautiful tan by the time the you step on the plane. Don’t be afraid to accessorise swimwear or beachwear. It can take the attention away from problem areas and big jewellery makes your body appear smaller. To minimise packing, use swimwear and swimwear accessories as daywear. Combine your beachwear and daywear together - for instance sarongs, sundresses, shorts and tees are all good cover-ups and acceptable daywear. For all body conscious women who are afraid to go out in their swimwear, almost every woman obsesses about at least one part of their body. Remember that and then get on with enjoying yourself. Apart from protecting your eyes, sunglasses are an instant confidence boost, adding allure regardless of what you’re wearing. Oversize film star sunnies for women and the classic Ray-ban wayfarer shape for men are failsafe choices. Beach tailoring is a big look. The more flamboyant your swimwear, the more attention you’ll draw to yourself. If you’re uncertain, keep things clean, sharp and quiet on the pattern front. To avoid burning on the beach, don’t be afraid to use hats.

Have a perfect picnic this upcoming holiday
There’s nothing quite as fun as a picnic in the sun. Food always seems to taste so good when eaten outdoors. This month the AWSUM Kombuis shares some top tips to make your picnic perfect and have some brilliant recipe ideas too. Mini quiches
Cowboy Chicken
Fritatta al fresco
Ingredients: • 1 pack of ready-made pastry (or make your own) • 4 free range eggs • milk or cream • fillings (optional) : Line an oven proof dish, it doesn’t matter what shape, with the pastry.In a measuring jug break 4 free range eggs and make up to the 280ml/ half pint mark with milk (full fat) or cream. Add a bit of pepper and some mixed herbs and pour into the pastry lined dish. Grate some cheese (strong cheddar works best) on top of the mixture.
Ingredients: Chicken drumsticks, thighs or wings (depending on preference and price) 2 lemons 2 or more cloves of garlic, crushed Black pepper and mixed herbs (optional)
Ingredients: 30ml/2tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion, sliced 2 courgettes, finely sliced 6 British Lion eggs 75g/3oz Cheddar cheese, grated
Put as many chicken drumsticks (thighs or wings) in an ovenproof dish as you need. Squeeze a couple of lemons over them and squash several cloves of garlic (one per person is a good guide but depends on your taste).
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add onions and fry for 2 minutes until soft. Add courgettes and fry for 4 minutes until golden.
Bake in medium hot oven (190 C/gas mark 5) for about 30-45 minutes - until the egg mixture has set and risen. Variations: Once you have made a success of this, you can start adding things to the quiche that you like: bits of cooked bacon, ham, feta cheese, sweet peppers, sweetcorn, broccoli, fresh herbs, spinach, tomatoes ...but it’s just as nice plain. For a crisper pastry base, prick the pastry all over with a fork and pre-cook for 10-15 minutes (blind - with no filling) before removing from the oven and adding the fillings. Then return to the oven to finish cooking.
Season with pepper and mixed herbs. Marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours. When you’re ready, pop them in a 180 C/Gas 4 oven and cook for around 40 mins... or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with potato wedges, rice or baked beans and your favourite vegetables.
Beat eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour eggs into the pan; cook, stirring until egg has lightly set. Shake pan to level surface; cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle over cheese and cook under hot grill for 2 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Serve warm in wedges sprinkled with basil leaves, if liked.

Goeie netbalseisoen
Exo-dag, met die slagspreuk #Life Can Be Excellent, was vanjaar een van die hoogtepunte op die DF-kalender. Terwyl die braaivleisvure aangesteek is om aan elke Dee-Effers ‘n gratis middagete te verskaf, is heerlike musiek gemaak en is ‘n vrolike oggend afgesluit met ‘n gelukkige trekking.
Hoërskool DF Malan het op 4 Oktober vanjaar gesorg vir ‘n opwindende eerste met die aanbieding van die SuidAfrikaanse première van die nuutste Karl Jenkins-werk, The Peacemakers.. Die teks van The Peacemakers berus op woorde en geskrifte van internasionale figure soos Nelson Mandela, Moeder Teresa, Martin Luther King en Ghandi. Die kore van DF Malan, Hindle Hoërskool in Delft, Bloekombos Sekondêre Skool, St. Cyprian’s en Laerskool Welgemoed is in die uitvoering deur die Hugo Lambrechts-orkes ondersteun. Leon Starker het as dirigent opgetree en ‘n spesiale gas by die geleentheid was mnr. F.W. de Klerk, een van SA se Nobelpryswenners vir Vrede.
DF-netbal het hierdie seisoen pragtige prestasies gelewer. Die o.17A-span (links) is die goue medalje-wenners in die WP-liga, terwyl die o.16A’s (regs) ook in hul WP-liga as wenner uit die stryd getree het. Hulle het onderskeidelik die spanne van Stellenberg en Tygerberg in die finaal geklop.
DF lewer SA-Hokkiespelers op Twee leerders van Hoërskool DF Malan, Chrissie Haupt (gr. 11) en Simoné Strydom (gr. 11) het die afgelope vakansie aan die Suid-Afrikaanse o.18-interprovinsiale hokkietoernooi by Kearsney Kollege,Kwazulu-Natal, deelgeneem. Hier is albei hokkiespelers tot die SA o.17span verkies, terwyl Chrissie ook in die SA o.18-hokkiespan opgeneem is.
Hokkietoer
Dee-Effers het vanjaar weer eens die botoon in die nasionale opstelkompetisie van die Bloemfonteinse Skrywersvereniging gevoer. Nie net het DF Malan die algehele skolewenner, Gina Barkema, opgelewer nie, maar ook die Olivier-wisseltrofee, die Gerhard Beukeswisseltrofee en die Vrystaat-wisseltofee verower. Naas Gina Barkema se eerste plek in die senior afdeling, het Emma Janse van Rensburg ‘n derde plek behaal en is Nina du Preez eervol vermeld. In die junior afdeling het Roché Oosthuizen ‘n tweede plek en Jannemie Swart ‘n derde plek beklee. Erik Pretorius is eervol vermeld.
Huisbou
Dee-Effers leef hul jaarspreuk, naamlik Watter impak het jou inpak, uit deur die gemeenskap te dien met harde handearbeid. Hierdie aspirant-bouers het skouer aan die wiel gesit en kon binne enkele dae die drome van die nuwe huiseienaars verwesenlik.
DF Malan se krieketspelers het die afgelope seisoen puik presteer. Die o.14Aspan wen hul liga en die o.19A-span keer onoorwonne terug van die Punt Krieketfees in Mosselbaai waar hulle met Outeniqua, Brandwag en Oudtshoorn afgereken het. Ag DF-krieketspelers speel vir Noordelike Voorstede spanne. Tydens die jaarlikse krieketafsluiting is die toptoekennings oorhandig aan Pierre Cilliers (Senior Krieketspeler van die jaar); Wian Joubert (Mees talentvolle Krieketspeler van die jaar) en Hanu Joubert (Junior Krieketspeler van die jaar).

Die Tiere EKO-KLUB vind ‘n bedreigde reënpadda op die skoolterrein. Die koor van reënpaddas is in die winter is vir sommige inwoners van Welgemoed, Tygerberg-heuwels, Boston en sekere dele van Durbanville ‘n pragtige simfonie. Die Kaapse reënpadda, Breviceps gibbosus, sing egter ‘n treursang, want sy naam verskyn op die lys vir Rooi Data-spesies. Reënpaddas se aanpasbaarheid het hulle gehelp om voort te bestaan ten spyte van stedelike en landbou-ontwikkelinge wat sowat 80% van hul habitat vernietig het. Reënpaddas broei nie in water nie, maar woon en broei onder die grond. Tydens die winterseisoen is dit paartyd. Volgens mnr. Atherton de Villiers, paddakenner van die Wes-Kaapse Natuurbewaringsraad, toon die Kaapse reënpadda ‘n paar interessante eienskappe. Die koddige diertjie met sy bolronde lyfie het kort bene omdat hy nie hoef te swem nie. Hy vreet insekte en erdwurms en is glad nie lief vir water nie. Hulle is ook ‘n groot aanwins vir enige tuin omdat die tonnels wat hulle grawe goeie dreinering tot gevolg het. Dit sal ‘n jammerte wees indien hierdie unieke padda se lied nie meer langs die berghange van die Kaapse Skiereiland gehoor kan word nie. Hoe kan jy daardie oulike gesiggie ignoreer?

‘UNIQUE FREAKS’ Bellville Technical High School’s dance group ‘UNIQUE FREAKS’ took part in the Project 021 Hip Hop Dance Competition at the Grand West Arena. Looking stunning in their well- coordinated neon outfits and with great spirits, they managed to dance their way to the finals, taking the third place trophy. Unique Freaks love being on stage and performing and always giving their best to their audiences. Heroic Hatties set a new record And so it was that on the 31st October 2013, many grade 10, 11 and some grade 9 learners undertook a short pilgrimage to the school gym where they willingly submitted themselves into the hands of WPBTS assistants to sacrifice man’s most important resource – blood! Their sacrifice however, set a new school record! For over 15 years, the record number of pints donated on a single day stood at an amazing 101. However, our unsung heroes easily broke this long-standing record by donating an awesome 103 pints! This has been a truly amazing feat and sets a new standard for our school. We have already won the Guthrie Award for being the best donor school in the Western Cape during 2012 and we can surely do it again.

MOTORS
Hoe om jou ouers te oorreed om vir jou ‘n kar te koop Joe Moore Soek jy ‘n motor met ‘n seer hart? Ietsie om die meisies se asems weg te slaan of net ‘n gewone motor om jou ou fiets te vervang. Ek gaan vir julle bietjie raad gee hoe om jou ouers te oorreed om vir jou ‘n motor aan te skaf. Dit neem ‘n paar stappe om ouers te oorreed. Ons weet almal se ouers is nie dieselfde nie, maar jy moet net die fyn tricks in die boek bemeester en voordat jy dit weet, staan daar ‘n motor met ‘n groot strik om in die oprit.
Eerstens, doen jou navorsing. Daar is niks so irriterend vir ‘n ouer as jy hom peper met iets wat jy wil hê, maar jy kan nie vir hom meer inligting gee nie. Kyk na die pryse van motors. Ondersoek verskillende modelle en vervaardigers. ‘n Baie belangrike aspek is die veiligheid en betroubaarheid van die motor. Tweedens, verduidelik vir hulle hoekom dit belangrik is dat jy ‘n motor van jou eie moet hê. Onthou om dit nie oor jou te maak nie, maar oortuig hulle dat dit hulle
lewens makliker gaan maak. Iets wat dadelik opspring is die “brood en melk” ritte. Almal hoor vele male in ‘n week dat sy ouers sê hulle moet gaan brood en melk koop. Laat dit in jou guns tel en stel voor dat jy al die ritte vinnig dorp toe sal maak, sodat hulle, soos hulle dit verdien, rustig kan terug sit en die AWSUM koerant lees. Die volgende stap is om vir hulle te wys jy
is verantwoordelik. In die lewe van vandag het almal al reeds selfone of iPads. Pas jou foon op en wys vir jou ouers dat jy die verantwoordelikheid het om iets op te pas, al betaal jy nie self vir dit nie. As hulle hierdie respek in jou sien wen jy al klaar baie punte. Laat weet ons asseblief op ons Facebook blad of dit gewerk het, en watter ekstra stappe jy vir jou mede motor-soekers sal voorstel.

Course fees can range from anything between R7000 to R15 000, also dependant on the institution you sign up with and which course option you choose. How soon can one start earning an income? An estate agent only receive commission approximately three months after closing a sale. This is because it takes approximately three months for the transfer of a property to be registered in the Deeds Office and for the funds to be made available. It also takes time learning the profession and becoming acquainted with the make-up of the area, as well as establishing relationships with potential buyers and sellers. Therefore, it may be some time before you closes a sale and even longer until you actually receive money in the bank. Is it hard work to become an estate agent?

To succeed, you need to be focused and dedicated. You have to be available whenever your client is, which is predominantly after-hours. You also need to be willing to work weekends, and Sundays in particular, as this is a popular show-house and viewing time. Agents who work hard and give a good service will always survive. It is gratifying to help a family put down their roots, to establish themselves and build up on their asset. If you are not interested in becoming an estate agent, but property does interest you the following advice may be of some value to you: Buy your first investment property as early as possible and make this a priority above any unnecessary luxuries. Once your first investment property proves to be successful, the bug bites and the potential of being able to earn an income this way becomes more rewarding.
