Summer is here and Highveld thunderstorms are now a reality. Lightning presents three main hazards to a house that it hits directly, namely: fire danger, power surge damage and shockwave damage. Did you know that one bolt of lightning can provide enough energy to light a city of 200 000 people for one minute? Theunis Kotze, general manager of ADT: Inland Region, has warned that people tend not to realise that direct strikes are responsible for only five percent of lightningrelated deaths and injuries. “There are other types of ways lightning can hurt you, for example through ground currents and side flashes. These account for up to 80 percent of lightning-related injuries and or deaths.” “That’s why when you see a storm approaching you need to get indoors. It doesn’t even need to be a severe storm and there doesn’t necessarily have to be rainfall either for lightning to strike,” he points out. Kotze offered the following tips for staying safe during a thunderstorm: • Avoid flat, open areas. Lightning will usually hit the highest point so when you are in an open space, there is a higher risk of being hit as you will be the highest point. • Stay away from water and never swim during a storm. • Avoid taking shelter under trees during storms, but if you have no choice, rather take shelter under a group of shorter trees among larger trees. A thick forest is always a better option than a solitary tree or a small group of trees. • Be aware that buildings with exposed openings such as camping shelters
or pavilions are not safe. • When in a storm, stay away from all forms of metal. Golfers should be aware that the metal in their golf clubs acts as a lightning conductor. “Storm season also puts security companies under pressure as storms play havoc with alarm systems,” said Kotze. “The high number of signals that control rooms receive during a storm can lead to delayed response times and can dilute critical emergency resources. In order to cope with this deluge of activity, monitoring centres have no option but to prioritise all signals that are received.” To help reduce unnecessary callouts, Kotze advises residents to contact the monitoring centre to cancel your alarm activation should your alarm go off accidentally during a storm.” He offered the following additional tips around alarm use in the stormy season: • Check the weather forecast before you leave home in the morning. If a storm is predicted, do not leave windows open. • Windstorms play havoc on outdoor detectors and beams, especially those close to vegetation. Consider bypassing beams that could cause false alarms during windstorms. • Doors that get hit directly by wind may cause false alarms if the doors are not properly fitted. Consider using single-sided rubber tape to close the voids and secure doors from movement. “However if you should experience an emergency during stormy conditions, please contact the monitoring centre directly by telephone or if this isn’t possible, by activating your panic button,” concluded Kotze.
Embrace your INNER poet
W2000 member Dr Duncan Stepto will lead a Writers 2000 workshop for members and visitors on Saturday, 31 October, from 10am to noon. His workshop will deal with the use of imagery and ornamentation in poetry, and will look at the beginnings of modern poetry – no doubt leaving many eagerly anticipating future poetry workshops. Dr Stepto is a man with a diverse range of exceptional skills and interests. He is both a geologist and geophysicist, not professions usually associated with poetic endeavour. Self-employed and focussing on ground water, he has travelled
throughout South Africa in the course of his work. As a member of Writers 2000, he has earned the respect of his fellow members and guests for his innovative style and obvious passion for poetry. The workshop will take place at the Inyoni Creek Clubhouse, Rand Aid Complex, corner of Wordsworth and Modderfontein roads, Lyndhurst. Costs are R60 for members and R120 for non-members.

POLICE STEP UP FROM HUMBLE VAN BUUREN PATROLS

BEGINNINGS
This year, Holy Rosary School in Edenvale celebrated 75 years of serving the local community as an educational institution. The school, which was started in June of 1940, has a rich history, beginning when the first Sisters arrived in Edenvale from Ireland in 1939. They were given accommodation at the Hurly’s cottage in the middle of the veld. Richard and Henry Hurly donated land to the Sisters to establish a convent, and in the beginning an old bungalow was rented. This was followed by a house built by the same brothers for the ‘Sister Refugees’ who had fH come to spread God’s Word. This was to oly be the first school. When the school opened, Ro s ar there were only six pupils. The ‘new’ Convent e y Sc hool in Edenval building as it now stands on Horwood Street, was erected in 1958. From these humble beginnings Holy Rosary School has grown into a school of just under 1 000 learners. With the acquisition of more property, including the sporting fields at Shanahan Park, the school has become a superb place of learning for girls from grades 0 to 12. The Shanahan sports fields used to accommodate the Grifo Bowling Club and the Jewish nursery school, which now houses a private preschool. The chapel in the convent is still central to school life, being used by parents, pupils and staff. o
Following numerous incidents in which perpetrators have used Van Buuren Road to flee from policing authorities, Bedfordview policing officials have decided to increase patrols of the road and surrounding road networks. This according to Colonel Sevha Shiburi, Bedfordview Police Station commander, speaking at the meeting of the Bedfordview Community Policing Forum (BCPF) on Saturday morning. Colonel Shiburi explained the most recent of these incidents had included the collision of a suspects’ vehicle with a Mercedes-Benz at the corner of Kloof and Van Buuren roads and the subsequent attempted shooting of a ‘Good Samaritan’ security official who had attended to the accident scene. “We will also be doing more patrols by the N3 and Van Buuren Road offramp,” he said, explaining there had also been numerous incidents where rocks had been placed on roads for the purposes of hijacking vehicles and robbing drivers. At the same time he reported N3 truck
hijackings were down, following the recent arrest of three men in Mamelodi. BCPF chairman Gavin Henry added that many of the incidents which had raised concern among Bedfordview residents had involved cars fleeing from crimes which had occurred outside of the area. “In a recent incident, a crime occurred in Kensington and the car which had been in a shoot-out, collided with another as it was fleeing the suspects and driving through Bedfordview. The crime itself didn’t occur in Bedfordview.” He explained that what was Bedfordview’s greatest strength, its easy accessibility to highways and central location, was also a weakness, in that criminals had been traversing the area because of this accessibility. He explained there had been two incidents in Bedfordview where large sums of money had been passing through the area and criminals had intercepted the vehicles and stolen the money. In the first incident, R100 000 was in transit and in the second, R1,7-million. “The area is getting all the flack from these irresponsible citizens who are carrying large sums of money,” he said, adding that police needed to follow up such cases with SARS.

Five local residents, part of the Hizi-Hizi Belly Dance group which trains in Edenvale, recently made it into the semi-finals of SA’s Got Talent. They are Tarryn Rego (founder of Hizi-Hizi), Julia Scafidas, Pavia Abrosie, Melissa Joubert and Cassidy Mansour. They shared their story with the tame TIMES, explaining how they were given the honour of performing for the nation. “We joined the competition because we wanted to share our passion and joy for belly dance with South Africa and hopefully inspire others to take part in this amazing form of art,” said team member Julia Scafidas. Scafidas explained for the SA’s Got Talent auditions, they put together a routine of traditional belly dancing with an element of surprise. Part of this ‘element of surprise’ was each member opening out a set of golden wings during the performance. “Our performance was striking and unique. This is why we have been so successful,” said Scafidas. “The audience and the judges were taken aback when we opened our gold wings during the dance and this left everyone cheering and applauding.” She continued: “Anyone can belly dance – irrespective of age, shape, size, culture or even gender. But a really great belly dancer is able to use their body to embody every beat of t h e music. Passion, dedication and many hours of practice separate the good from the great.” To get into peak form for the The local community can elite competition, the ladies increased assist the group by voting their training hours from just over two for the ladies after their live hours a week, to ten to 15 hours a semi-final performance on week.

100 CANDLES
“It gives me great pleasure to welcome you back to a place that I know holds a special place in your lives, or the lives of your grandfathers, fathers, uncles and brothers.” These were the words of Alistair Dry, executive headmaster of Bishop Bavin School, on welcoming guests to the recent celebration of St George’s Home’s 100 years. The event was hosted by Bishop Bavin and as Dry explained, “St George’s Home, which opened on 15 October 1915, laid the foundation for Bishop Bavin to exist as a school.” Bishop Bavin School has its home in the original buildings of St George’s Home, an exquisite premises with large stone walls, hauntingly beautiful corridors, high ceilings, wooden floors and breathtaking gardens, including Jacaranda trees which were cloaked with purple flowers at the time of the centenary festivities. A mass was held before the centenary luncheon on the day, honouring traditions held both by the home and continued as part of Bishop Bavin School heritage. The founders and guardians of the school, both past and present, were given a special mention. These included Rev Noel Aldridge, first headmaster of the school, Major Arthur Rice, Tom Robson, Laurie Symes, Flossie Kuipner, Rev Bernard Moss, Ken McHolm and Rev Canon Eric Richardson. Rev Canon Richardson, St George’s Home oldboy and former headmaster, now in his 103rd year, was part of the proceedings. He arrived with a great smile as he stepped on to the premises with the aid of a helper, surprisingly mobile and enthusiastic for a man three years older than St George’s. “St George’s was first established as a home for children left orphaned by the First World War,” Owen Thomas, current headmaster of the Bishop Bavin Preparatory School explained to the tame TIMES. He explained he was an oldboy of St George’s Home and had been headmaster of the Bishop Bavin Preparatory School for just over a year-and-a-half. He said as headmaster he hoped to keep alive the memories and stories cherished by the school, and often shared with the learners about their heritage. “There are many wonderful stories here of the strength of the human spirit and of the camaraderie of learners and teachers. For example, the first headmaster of the school, Noel Aldridge, gave his blanket to a young boy who had lost his.” The young headmaster died of pneumonia soon after, in 1916, a year after the facility was opened. “But for us, Noel Aldridge embodied all that we stand for and we believe his heart is captured in our school’s ethos.” He said that Alridge had been an avid boxer and when issues arose in the school, he would challenge the boys to put their case forward with him and hand them a pair of boxing gloves. “This tradition of boxing continued for a long time at the school,” said Thomas. “In fact, when I left school, I went on to do professional boxing with the University of the Witwatersrand.” “Returning to this place as headmaster has been an honour for me. When you enter the school, you are met by the presence of God - not surprising, since our faith has sustained us for 100 years.” He paged through a scrapbook with aging yellow-tinged pages explaining the school’s history was well-documented. “One of the oldboys has written a book about his memories of the school, which will soon be released,” he said, pointing to one of the children in an aged black-and-white photo. Photos of sports, academic and cultural teams lined the A3-sized scrapbook and Thomas pointed out photos of himself, a

youth barely in his teens. In one photo, taken, as Thomas explained, long before the advent of the digital era, he was holding a camera. “So much has changed but so much has stayed the same. The buildings, Herbert Baker designs, stand as silent witnesses to the passing years. It is a privilege to work in such an environment,” said Thomas. He continued: “This place has saved lives. It has also put many boys on to the right path and they have grown up as successful men.” Bishop Bavin School was formally established 25 years ago and continues in the tradition of St George’s, having been built on the foundations of the home which have stood firm - for 100 years now.

St Benedict’s Grade 10 boys recently went on an Outbound and Leadership Course. The aim of the course was to encourage participants to explore their strengths and learn more about themselves and their capabilities. This served to strengthen their selfconfidence and their being involved in a shared experience helped to integrate them as a team going forward. Some had to overcome their fear of heights, testing both mental and physical capabilities. Long hikes tested the boys’ fitness and teamwork in order to stay in a group to complete the tasks. Grade 10 learner Timothy Walters said: “One of the most important things we learned was to grow as a stronger person. It was amazing, the amount of things I learned that I could take back home and be an inspiration to others to learn.” Kevin Flynn added to this: “The camp was a test of willpower and adaptability.”
Zandri Swanepoel, 13 jaar oud en ‘n graad 7 leerling aan die Leeuwenhof Akademie, is gekies as finalis in die Mej SA Skool Ambassadeur kompetisie vir 2015. Die oorhoofse doelwit van die kompetisie is die opheffing en bemagtiging van gemeenskappe in samewerking met die skool van die betrokke finalis. Zandri Swanepoel, het hierdie uitdaging aangepak in samewerking met Leeuwenhof Akademie in Gauteng. In die gees van die Wêreldbeker Rugby toernooi, het Zandri besluit om haar projek te inisieer rondom Rugby with a purpose. Die projek behels die insamelling van fondse asook rugby toerusting wat dan aan minder bevoorregte skole in haar omgewing geskenk sal word. Dis met groot entoesiasme en ywer wat Zandri begin skakel het met moontlike donateurs om haar projek te ondersteun. Mnr Conrad Buytendorp, Handelaarshoof van Hyundai Bruma, het by die aanhoor van Zandri se projek, dadelik sy Tak se steun aangebied in haar projek. Dit was met groot entoesiaisme en opgewondeheid dat Zandri op 12 Oktober 2015,‘n tjek van R5000 in ontvangs geneem het vanaf Mnr Buytendorp. Haar huidige skoolhoof Mnr Wium Uys het haar in die oorhandiging ondersteun. Mnr Buytendorp het in sy oorhandigingstoespraak die feit beklemtoon dat besighede soos Hyundai, sosiale bemagtiging en ontwikkeling van die jeug as baie belangrik ag. Hy voel sterk dat korporatiewe, sosiale investering ‘n belangrike platvorm skep om ‘n gevoel van hoop daar te stel. As ‘n kranige rugby ondersteuner homself, het Mnr Buytendorp gemeld dat sport ‘n uitstekende wyse is om jong leerlinge verskillende dissiplines aan te leer wat uiters noodsaaklik is in ‘n toenemende veeleisende moderne lewe. Hy het dan ook vir Zandri baie sterkte toegewens met haar projek en die finale beoordeling wat plaasvind op 31 Oktober 2015. Mnr Wium Uys, huidige skoolhoof van Leeuwenhof Akademie het met groot trots vir Zandri bygestaan in die proses. Leeuwenhof Akademie vier hul 20ste bestaansjaar in 2016. Zandri is reeds deel van Leeuwenhof Akademie sedert 2005, toe sy as 3-jarige as Graad 000 leerder ingeskryf is. Leeuwenhof Akademie beywer hul vir Christelike Nasionale holistiese opvoeding van hul leerders en bemoedig onafhanklike inisiatiewe soos Zandri se projek ten sterkste aan. Dit is die kultuur van hierdie Akademie wat leerders soos Zandri die selfvertroue en deursettingsvermoe gee om ‘n verskil te maak waar nodig Zandri het dan ook besluit om as deel van haar projek, Rugby with a purpose, ‘n persentasie van die gelde te skenk aan die J9 Joost Van der Westhuizen Fonds. Dit is wanneer ons sien hoe ‘n jong leerder soos Zandri Swanepoel, ‘n projek soos Rugby with a Purpose aanpak met doeltreffenheid, entoesiasme en ywer dat ons weet n jong burger van ons land stel die voorbeeld vir ander om te volg en dat die toekoms van Suid Afrika met sulke verantwoordelikheid positiwiteit voorspel.

BEAUTY WITH
A PURPOSE Following the recent launch of Raising Superheroes by coauthors Jonno Proudfoot, Tim Noakes and Bridget Surtees, there has been much emphasis on the way we feed our kids. Consultant nutritionist for Met-S Care and mother of two, Jackie Dutton, has offered a few simple tips for parents who, like her, want to make a difference in their children’s lives by offering the right kind of dietary choices: “Simple single-ingredient foods should be the foods of choice. If a food has been combined with another ingredient with an unpronounceable name it may be processed. So know what you are eating.” Teaching kids the motto “From Soil to Mouth” is very handy. “They will learn that if a food came from the ground, then it is probably a safe option to eat.” “Read the nutritional labels on the back of food products. Educate yourself as to what is in a food so you can make an informed decision as to whether you buy the product and feed it to your family. If the second or third ingredient on the list of ingredients is a sugar or a derivative of a sugar, don’t buy it.” Choose the right carbohydrates. “Not all carbohydrates are undesirable. Vegetables, whole fruits, legumes, certain nuts and seeds, as well as certain whole grains and tubers, are healthy carbohydrate sources to fuel your children as they grow.” In terms of healthy fats, incorporate items such as coconut oil, milk and cream; full cream dairy products; real butter (not margarine); olive oil and avocado oil; avocados; eggs and fatty fish into your child’s diet. “Beneficial protein sources include fish, prawns, calamari, poultry, nonprocessed red meat, eggs, nuts, legumes, dairy products and quinoa.” Remember to teach your kids not to drink their calories. “Don’t fuel them with sugary drinks. Rather, encourage them to drink water.” Children emulate their parents, so set a good example and start a healthy eating approach for the whole family. Don’t reward good behaviour with a sugary treat, but rather offer another incentive such as a family outing or ask your child what they would like to do. Food should not become an emotional crutch or reward. Remember that teaching your kids about good nutrition is just as important as teaching them good manners and what is socially appropriate. Invest time in it as you would the other aspects of their upbringing.
True beauty is something rare. It’s that special quality that radiates from within a person and encourages others to be the best they can be. Still, while this quality is hard to find, every now and then someone emerges whose beauty is more than skin-deep. We spoke to one such person, youth ambassador Catherine Constantinides, also organiser of the Miss Earth South Africa pageant. Constantinides has helped lead many young women to success through her belief that beauty has a purpose and that true beauty comes from within. In the run-up to the Face of tame TIMES competition, in which we will select youth ambassadors to represent the community during their year of reign (see article below), she shared with us what it takes to be a community ambassador.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR TIME IN THE LIMELIGHT? IF YOU HAD TO IMPART A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM TO THE FUTURE FACE OF TAME TIMES WINNER, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
A STRONG WOMAN: Catherine Constantinides has shown the youth that real beauty is about strength, tenacity, vision and compassion.
”Fame will fade. Build a life and journey on a foundation of passion, dedication, determination and purpose. It’s not about the ‘limelight’ but how you can serve and impact your community.”
ney built on integrity, trust, authenticity, honesty, passion and dedication to being the best you can be.”
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THE COMMUNITY NEEDS YOUNG PEOPLE TO LOOK UP TO?
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE MAKES A WOMAN TRULY BEAUTIFUL?
”We are living in a time in our history when 70% of the population on our continent is under the age of 35. This means that the responsibility and pressure on young people now is greater than ever before. Thus, we need to build and support the young, strong and dynamic leaders within our communities - as they are not only the future but they play a very important role in our now.”
”A women who is confident and comfortable in her own skin. Also, a woman whose beauty shines from within. Nothing can make up for that kind of beauty when the light shines from the soul!”
WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU BELIEVE MAKE FOR AN AMBASSADOR? ”When others can aspire to the journey you lead because of the values you stay true to, I believe these are strong indicators of someone who is a role model or ambassador. For me that foundation is one where there is a jour-

FOR THE LOVE OF WHEELS Plans are underway for the Airwalk Skate and Ride Fest to be held at the Stoneridge Centre early next year. Mark Powell, the event organiser, and organiser of the recent Randburg Airwalk Skate and Ride Fest at the Brightwater Commons, said the event had been created to develop the sport of skateboarding and action sports in the Gauteng area. “It is something positive for the youth to get involved in,” he said. He said for the Randburg event there had been 147 entries and he expected the Stoneridge event to be much bigger, with even more contenders. The festival will focus on action sports and Powell has encouraged local residents to get involved. “The festival gives children who enjoy this kind of sport a goal to work towards. Kids can work towards

achieving a certain standard to participate and are given focus in their practising.” Powell said skateboarding was becoming increasingly popular in the country. “I still believe that as a sport it could be growing faster, which is why my partners and I are working on developing the sport in the country,” he said. The ‘ride’ component of the festival will include BMX bikes, scooters and an ‘Expression Session’ event. Furthermore, the festival will provide the perfect lowcost opportunity for corporates to get involved. “There will also be TV coverage and they can get involved by giving prizes to competitors. Sporting bodies should support the event as it is good for the community and keeps the kids off the streets in a safe environment.” For more information contact Powell on mark@ xstation.co.za or visit www.xstation.co.za.
CHAMPIONS: Winners of the recent Airwalk Skate and Ride Fest held in Randburg. It is expected the Stoneridge Centre event early next year will draw even more contenders.

STOP AND SMELL THE JACARANDAS The annual Grace Jacaranda Run will be held from the Bedfordview Virgin Active gym premises this Saturday, 31 October, from 6am. On this day, Bedfordview Athletics Club runners, walkers and friends, dressed in all shades of purple and pink, will take to the streets of Kensington to take part in the 10/20km run. This run was first held in 2013 and has now become a permanent fixture on the BCC calendar. It is also a charity event that focusses on the collection of donated clothes and food for the Beivenue Shelter in Bertrams. The event is held in memory of loved ones and is made special
by running or walking among the Jacaranda flowers that carpet the streets of Kensington, leading to the Scottish war monument at Jeppe Boys School. It is the perfect reminder that life is precious and to stop and smell the Jacarandas. The run will end back at the Virgin Active gym premises, Van Buuren Road, Bedfordview where purple and pink cupcakes and refreshments will be on offer to all. For further information, contact Aurelia 082 416 4893 or email aureliamasino@gmail.com
