AWSUM News
AWSUM News welcomed by Port Elizabeth
115 Schools have already signed up to be part of the AWSUM News publication, distributed at the schools into each household. The first AWSUM newspaper was published in May 2013 in the Boland, little knowing that the newspaper will be launched within 10 months in 5 regions which included Boland, Helderberg, Southern Cape, Northern Suburbs and East London.
We are excited about our first Port Elizabeth AWSUM edition and would like to know what you think about this publication. Please send your comments to awsum@tiemedia.co.za. Happy AWSUM reading!
The name says it all: we summarize the best school news and bring it to your doorstep. Someone called it a “breath of fresh air in the advertising world”. We want this breeze to blow some exposure over the schools in each area. With great excitement and almost a year since, we hope that everyone now reading the AWSUM, shares our passion for the community too.
Kind regards,
The newspaper, which tends more to a newspaper magazine published by TieMedia, shares AWSUM news for the whole family and although our first edition in Port Elizabeth is our entry edition focusing more on the school news, we have sections covering interesting articles on lifestyle, financial tips, health, beauty and wellness and in the AWSUM Kombuis where we share exciting recipies. Soon we realized that families would like to share this newspapers with their grandparents living far away and therefore the newspaper is now available online at www.awsum.co.za or at www.issuu.com/tiemedia.

When is enough TV enough?
Jean de Villiers shares tips on how to ensure a healthy year “As a professional rugby player, it is very important for me to eat the right food and stay in shape,” says Jean de Villiers, Captain of the national rugby team and Resolution Health Medical Scheme representative. “Apart from the set meals compiled by our fitness trainer when we are on tour, I try to eat four to six small meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a balance of protein and carbohydrates when at home. Obviously I try to steer clear of junk foods but do spoil myself occasionally with a pizza. After all everyone deserves a treat every now and again.” According to de Villiers, eating foods that are low in calories do not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing for your body. “The foods you include in your diet need to be nutritious and provide energy that is sustainable. For example, when we are doing intense training I take some whey protein and glutamine supplements to help with recovery. It also assists me to be fresh for the next day’s training,” he says. De Villiers also highlighted the importance of exercise in leading a healthy lifestyle, particularly in light of a recent survey finding that 49% of South Africans do not exercise at all. “You
don’t necessarily have to visit the gym five times a week to work on your fitness levels. You can incorporate exercise into your hobbies as well. For example, apart from my rigorous training schedule, I like to be active during my downtime by playing a round of golf with my mates and walking my dogs. In fact, an average 18-hole round of golf requires anything between three and five hours of walking, translating into a good workout while doing what you love most. “Training forms a very big part of my life and in a normal week we would have six to 10 training sessions and then a game on the weekend. A typical training session would include spending time in the gym combined with on-field sessions. Each session would last anything from 60min to 120min and the intensity would vary,” says De Villiers. Healthy adults should ideally aim for 30minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day, five times a week with the aim being to increase the resting heart rate for the entire period. This threshold is usually around 180 beats per minute minus your age, provided the individual is otherwise healthy.
Take care of your heart!
Hey you, don’t skip this article because you think you’re out of the danger zone or too young. Read this… After all, heart disease only happens to your elderly neighbour or to your fried food-loving uncle, right? Or do you know the real truth – that heart disease can affect people of any age, even those who eat right?
have chest pain or discomfort, a heart attack may cause subtle symptoms. These include shortness of breath, nausea, feeling lightheaded, and pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the jaw, neck or back.
Preventing heart disease (and all cardiovascular diseases) means making smart choices now that will pay off the rest of your life. Lack of exercise, a poor diet and other bad habits can take their toll over the years. Anyone at any age can benefit from simple steps to keep their heart healthy during each decade of life. Here’s how:
5. “Heart disease runs in my family, so there’s nothing I can do to prevent it.” Although people with a family history of heart disease are at higher risk, you can take steps to dramatically reduce your risk.
Let’s set the record straight on some common myths. 1. “I’m too young to worry about heart disease.” How you live now affects your risk for cardiovascular diseases later in life. As early as childhood and adolescence, plaque can start accumulating in the arteries and later lead to clogged arteries. 2. “I’d know if I had high blood pressure because there would be warning signs.” High blood pressure is called the “silent killer” because you don’t usually know you have it. You may never experience symp-toms, so don’t wait for your body to alert you that there’s a problem. 3. “I’ll know when I’m having a heart attack because I’ll have chest pain.” Not necessarily. Although it’s common to
Although television, interactive video games and the Internet can be excellent sources of education and entertainment for children, too much screen time can lead to bad health and behaviourial problems. In fact research by Public Health England has found that children who spend more than four hours a day in front of the television and computer screen have lower self-esteem and greater emotional problems. “To ensure your child stays healthy and happy, take the time to understand the risks associated with watching too much TV and monitor how long they spend watching shows and playing video games this holiday,” school counsellor and teacher at Cape Town based Riverside College, Dave Swart says. “Too much screen time means less physical activity and face-to-face interaction with friends and family, these are both key towards creating a stress-free childhood.”
Negative effects Children who watch more than the recommended two hours of television per day can suffer from obesity, irregular sleep, impaired academic performance and behavioural problems such as aggression. Excessive exposure to video games is linked with attention problems. “While it might be nice to get your kids out of your hair for a while, find healthier activities for them – the TV should be a treat, not the accepted norm,” advises Swart. Limit Impose rules about the amount of time a week your children are allowed to spend on electronic devices such as iPads, tablets, smartphones and gaming equipment – “perhaps take the devices away if they do not appear to be respecting the rules,” says Dave. With regards to TV time, it is a good idea to limit this to weekends only; “As discipline and routine goes out the window, create a viewing timetable
6. “I don’t need to have my cholesterol checked until I’m middle-aged.” Start getting your cholesterol checked at age 20. It’s a good idea to start having a cholesterol test even earlier if your family has a history of heart disease. No matter what your age – test your cholesterol. Source: www.heart.org

during the school holidays - this way everyone gets to watch a couple of hours of their favourite programme a week and it’s within limits.” Monitor Make sure to research the TV shows, movies and video games your child watches and plays. “If it appears too violent, includes excessive swearing, sexual content or explicit references, explain why it is not appropriate for them to view it,” says Swart. “Age restrictions are there for a reason.” Tips: • Never place a TV or computer in your child’s room – this can result in irregular sleeping patterns and poor academic performance; • Discourage the association of food with TV time; • Ban excessive screen time; • Encourage healthy activities such as dancing, football, puzzles and group activities to help build social skills; • Set a good example – when you are home limit how much TV you watch, don’t stay glued to your phone or spend too long online; • Preview programmes and read the reviews, paying special attention to the age rating.

Ons kan met trots sê dat dit “Beertjie” se tweede keer saam is Durban toe. Die vorige een was in 1984 toe een van ons eie onderwysers, T. Herbst as ‘n leerder gegaan het en dertig jaar later nou as die afrigter saam getoer het. “Beertjie” is in 1958 deur die eerste rugbyspan aan die skool geskenk en is steeds die gelukbringer. Ons het tuisgegaan te “Non Stop Adventures” in Pietermaritzburg, wat ‘n besonderse plek. Die netbal en rugby het uitstekend gevaar waar hulle teen verskeie skole gespeel het. Die netbal het al ses hulle wedstryde gewen. Die rugby het twee gewen en een gelykop gespeel. Die leerders is op ‘n uitstappie na Ushaka Marine World waar hulle so bietjie kon ontspan en die verskillende “slides” geniet het. Dit was baie se eerste toer, nie net die leerders s’n nie, maar ook die onderwysers s’n. Ons sê dankie aan al ons borge wat die toer moontlik gemaak het. Die seisoen het begin en ons eerste rugbyspan wen DF Malherbe 22-13. Ons meisies en seuns is hard aan die oefen en elkeen sien uit na die volgende tuis wedstryd op 6 Mei teen Andrew Rabie.

1st XI Cricket breakfast
Pearson hosted their annual 1st XI Cricket breakfast last Thursday. After a very successful 2013/2014 season Josh Dodd and Kyle Jacobs were awarded top run scorer and top wicket taker awards for the season. Josh was also named as the Pearson Cricketer of the season. Josh scored 801 runs at an average of 42,16 and also took 32 wickets at an average of 16,16. Kyle took 38 wickets at an average of 11,7. He also scored 610 runs at an average of 29.5. The Pearson 1st team won 77 present of their matches this season playing against all the top playing cricketing schools in the province.
Pearson Cricket
Pearson ended the cricket season with two good victories on Saturdays. It was the Pearson U/15A team who impressed as they recorded an impressive 295 run victory over Port Alfred in their 40 overs A-league fixture. Batting first, Pearson massed 376/2. Pearson opener, Bevan Potgieter, carried his bat as he scored 131 not out. Pearson captain Keeran Forbes top scored with 139 as the two put on 339 runs for the second wicket. It was Forbes’ second century of the year, after scoring his first against Victoria Park earlier in the term. In reply, Pearson applied more pressure as Port Alfred were all out for 81. Brenden Basson was the pick of the Pearson Bowlers, recording figures of 5/42. He was well supported by Daniel Morris with 4/21. Pearson’s 1st Team was made to work hard as they took on a spirited Zwide Center of Excellence Team. After losing the toss and asked to bat first, Pearson scored 179/10 in their 50 over match. Dumisani Ncwembe was the pick of the Zwide bowlers with 3/28 in 10 overs. For Pearson, Kyle Jacobs top scored with 41. In reply, Zwide got off to a good start and were in control for most of the innings as they took their score to 120/3 with 20 overs to go. Pearson never gave up as their spinners, Mark Zonneveld (2/35 in 10 overs) and Deyano Klaasen (1/20 in 10 overs) got them back into the game. Zwide needed 18 of the last 5 overs with 2 wickets in hand. Zonneveld then had a moment of brilliance in the field and with a diving stop and direct hit saw the visitors needing 9 runs of 9 balls. Pearson captain Josh Dodd took on the responsibility of bowling the last over and with 3 runs needed of 3 balls, he delivered the perfect yorker to hand Pearson an emphatic 2 run victory as Zwide was dismissed for 177. Dodd picked up 3/36 in 9,4 overs. Siyamthanda Gqibitole batted superbly well for the visitors with 61 of 83 balls.
Tennis
Kaylin Bower, a grade 8 learner at Pearson High School, is making her mark in the tennis world with a brilliant start to her high school career. Kaylin, sponsored by Prince and coached by the world renowned tennis star Yvonne Vermaak, started the 2014 season, participating in the TSA Keyhealth Super 7 series. She travelled to East London, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Stellenbosch. In East London, Kaylin made it to the semi-final of the singles and won the doubles title. In Port Elizabeth, she was runner up in the final and once again claimed the doubles title. Travelling to the Western Cape and Boland, the level of competition increased as the number of entries increased and temperatures was at times, unbearable. During the W.P. Slazenger Open in Cape Town, she won the singles title. During the Boland Keyhealth Super 7 Tournament in Stellenbosch, Kaylin was once again runner up in the final and won her fourth consecutive doubles title. At the end of the National tournament, Kaylin was selected as one of 6 players to represent South Africa in Scotland later this year. She is now also rated number two in her age group in the country!
Cricket – Pearson vs Alexander Road
Pearson’s captain and opening batsman Joshua Dodd, led his team to a comprehensive 102 run victory over traditional co-ed rivals, Alexander Road. Dodd, who offered a difficult chance early on in his innings, never looked back as he compiled a magnificent 134 in 142 balls to give the home team the edge. Dodd was superb in leading the way as Pearson batted at a healthy rate compiling their 299/7 in the 50 over match. Dodd was well supported by Mark Zonneveld with 36 off 45 balls and then Kyle Jacobs with a well played 61 of 56 balls. Cody Roberts finished well for Pearson as he hit a quick fired 30 off 20 balls to set the visitors a daunting 300 for victory. For Alex, Adrian Baartjies picked up 3/65 in 9 overs and Sheldon Pillay bowled well and returned figures of 2/42 in 9 overs. After lunch Pearson openings bowler, Wade van Zyl, bowled a good spell as the Alex batters found it difficult to score freely. Van Zyl picked up 2/31 in his 10 overs.
