ELVIS BLUE: OPTICS WINNERS Kari Hoogendijk from Stellenbosch Lihandie Swart from Potchefstroom Your CDs are on their way!

Mention the name Anna-Mart van der Merwe and people usually swoon slightly – the beloved and diverse (and beautiful) South African actress garners admiration for whatever she tackles – with movies from Die Storie van Klara Viljee to the brand-new Dis Koue Kos, Skat, she is a winner with her audiences. We caught up with Anna-Mart on her way to a repetition for her new play,The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, in Cape Town, over lattes at the lovely Lust, halfway between Paarl en Franschhoek, where she lives these days.

Q: Dis Koue Kos, Skat must have been quite an experience – do tell all!

A: Dis Koue Kos, Skat was a great experience – for a fifty-something to play the lead in a romantic comedy was quite a thing! Immersing myself in the character of Clara Brand, whose husband cheated on her with one of her best friends, was quite a challenge, as she is someone who lives life with extreme emotions. She was quite exhausting emotionally. It was also great working with a young director and a younger generation of actors, with totally different frames of reference. I learned a lot from them all.

Q: You became a soapie star when 7de Laan started. Movies, soapies, stage – which is your favourite?

A: Goodness, yes – my first TV movie was made before there was something such as a South African soapie! I think the stage will have to come first, if I had to choose. There is just something about the process and dynamics – also with the audience – that makes it magical acting medium. I would have liked to be part of a theatre company in Europe. I think it must be a fantastic experience to grow as stage actor in such a setup.

Q: Was drama a calling?

A: It was, but only late in my school career. I first studied languages at Stellenbosch, where

AWSUM Celebrity Interview

Anna-Mart

van der Merwe

I took drama classes with Babs Laker on Friday afternoons, and then drama at UCT. After that, I joined the then Truk and started my stage acting career … and that was it.

Q: Tell us more about the play you are currently starring in.

A: I am rehearsing for the incredibe play The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, by Athol Fugard, which opens the end of the month in the historic Fugard Theatre in District 6 in Cape Town. The part was a dream, because Athol, at 84, is the director. This is an incredible privilege and experience. I acted in his play People Are Living There last year in the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, and when the opportunity came my way to work under his direction, it almost too good to be true!

Q: What do you to do relax?

A: Oh, I love to walk – there is nothing quite like the feeling of earth under my feet. As a born and bred Vredendaller, I am rather earthy in my lifestyle.

Q: Favourite music?

A: First in my head: Sade. Gregorian Chants.

Jazz.

Q: Favourite book?

H I G H LI G H TS

A: The über classic Narciss and Goldmund,

by Herman Hesse. Oh yes – The Bone People,

by Keri Hulme, is also a fascinating book that touched me deeply.

nutty!!

Going

I have always been a fan of almonds – nutty toasted almonds tossed into salads or consumed by the handful as a snack, made into almond meal and used to bake cookies and cakes.

Raspberry and almond smoothie Serves 2 • 2 ½ cups almond milk (sweetened or unsweetened) • 4 ice cubes • 1 tbls runny honey • ¾ cup fresh or frozen raspberries • 1 tbls ground almonds • Place all the ingredients into liquidiser and blitz till smooth.

• Pour into tall glasses and enjoy.

Tip: you can strain the smoothie before you serve it. © Jenny Morris 2016

Almonds have many wonderful nutritional benefits, as they are very nutrient rich.

I had an almond tree in my garden and I couldn’t wait for it to go into flower.

I adored the fragrant pink and white flowers that covered the tree. I love that they are delicately flavoured and versatile and available all year round.

I recently discovered almond milk at the Good Food & Wine Show in Johannesburg and decided to do some experimenting with it. I use both the sweetened and unsweetened almond milk.

You can use it in making quiches, blinis, flapjacks, bread-and-butter pudding, ricotta, hot cakes, French toast, white sauce, smoothies, ice-cream, rice pudding and Panacotta, and also for soaking oats and mixing into scrambled eggs, and a lot more – it is even really yummy in tea and coffee! It can also be a

substitute for dairy milk for those who have a lactose intolerance.

Almond milk is also suitable for people following a vegan diet. As almond milk contains no cholesterol, it is also recommended for people suffering from heart disease or high cholesterol, and the unsweetened variety has a low glycaemic index (GI) with no added sugar, making it a suitable option for health conscious consumers.

Almond milk combines the superfood health benefits of almonds with a delicious taste. It is packed with calcium as well as vitamin D and E to support strong bones and healthy skin, making it easier to manage a healthy lifestyle.

I’m happy to see that it is GMO free, with no additives, MSG or preservatives.

Marked & Secure

ALL PROPERTY IS MARKED & SECURED 0861 1000 10 DataDot, the leader in microdot technology is introducing their “DataDot Marked and Secure” system, a cost-effective theft deterrent and identification system to protect all household and business items against criminal activities. Thieves are less likely to steal marked goods which can link them to a crime. It also makes it difficult for them to sell the microdotted stolen items. The system consists of tiny microdots (0.5mm in diameter) with a unique PIN number which is applied to all your valuables. It is an easy DIY system and the product includes a warning board and stickers to warn thieves that your home or office is dotted and protected. This PIN number is allocated to an owner on our free mobile app (NHAR) which can be downloaded on the Google Playstore or accessed by going to https://www.nhar.co.za DataDot calls on all Neighbourhood Watch groups to get into contact with us to implement this system and protect their community. We will work together with you, your local police, security companies and other crime fighting groups to assist in implementing a strong system where the following message is made clear to criminals:

Marked & Secure

THIEVES BEWARE – PROPERTY IS MARKED – IF CAUGHT WITH MARKED PROPERTY, THE OWNER WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED.

Business owners who have had their equipment and tools stolen can also successfully use this system as a unique identification tool.

DataDot has successfully dotted over 3 million vehicles as part of a legislative process and has huge successes in the recovery of stolen vehicles and assets and reducing the risk of vehicle theft by over 50%.

Health & Wellbeing 8 HEALTHY EATING GOALS Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert. The more colourful you make your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals, and fibre your body needs to be healthy.

Make half the grains you eat whole grains: An easy way to eat more whole grains is to switch from refined grain food to wholegrain food, for example by eating wholewheat bread instead of white bread. Read the ingredients list and choose products that list wholegrain ingredients first. Look for things like whole wheat, brown rice, bulgur, buckwheat, oatmeal, rolled oats, quinoa or wild rice.

Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk: Both have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but fewer calories and less saturated fat.

Choose a variety of lean protein foods: Meat, poultry, seafood, dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts and seeds are considered part of the protein foods

Small changes can make a big difference to your health.

Try incorporating at least six of the eight goals below into your diet. Commit to incorporating one new healthy eating goal each week over the next six weeks.

group. Select leaner cuts of ground beef (where the label says 90% lean or higher), turkey breast, or chicken breast.

Compare sodium in foods: Use the nutrition facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like soup, bread and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” “reduced sodium,” or “no salt added.”

Drink water instead of sugary drinks: Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in diets. Try adding a slice of lemon, lime or watermelon or a splash of 100% juice to your glass of water if you want some flavor.

Eat some seafood: Seafood includes fish (such as salmon, tuna and trout) and shellfish (such as crab, mussels and oysters). Seafood has protein, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids (heart-healthy fat). Adults should try to eat at least eight ounces a week of a variety of seafood.

Children can eat smaller amounts of seafood, too.

Cut back on solid fats: Eat fewer foods that contain solid fats. The major sources of such foods are cakes, cookies and

Bestmed’s You’ve Got the Power Challenge!

Does your school have the power to take on the challenge?

Launched last year with 63 schools across the country, ‘We’ve Got the Power Campaign’ has now expanded.

This year, healthy living will be demonstrated not only by learners, but their families too. This campaign will run from 1 August up until 30 September 2016.

Sasja la Grange, Marketing and Communications Manager at Bestmed says, “Following on the success of last year’s pilot campaign, we have once again identified 63 schools across the country that will be participating in this year’s campaign. The teams are expected to showcase the benefits of healthy living by creating unique, cool and fun music videos. The campaign is both educational and rewarding. We have awesome prizes up for winners, and these include cash prizes for runnersup and other spot prizes. The overall winning school will, over and above its cash prize, receive a MUSIC CONCERT featuring Richard Stirton, Gavin Edwards, Almur Marais and Jeremy Olivier from The Voice SA.” You’ve Got the Power campaign challenge underpins Bestmed’s focus on preventative healthcare, which is validated by its wellness pillars of Be Active, Be

AWSUM NEWS AUGUST 2016

Safe, Be Nutri-wise, Be Fin-fit and Be Happy. The campaign challenge inspires scholars and their families to incorporate these pillars into their daily lives, and demonstrate it in the music videos. “Who says you cannot be healthy and have fun? We received encouraging feedback from last year’s launch campaign where schools learnt quite a bit about healthy lifestyle activities and enjoyed the process. We are committed to continue educating children about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in all possible ways we can,” adds la Grange.

In last year’s challenge, the schools created a music video based on Jeremy Loop’s songs and this year the music videos will be based on an upbeat song composed by Bestmed. The children will be able to sing or lip-sync the song. The videos can include choreography and fun dance moves that are cool, energetic and happy.

With the aim of encouraging children to not only practise healthy lifestyle activities at school but also at home, this year Bestmed is including families to take

part in the challenge. la Grange cites, “Students spend their time both at school and at home therefore we would like them to continue practising their healthy lifestyle activities in all aspects of their lives. We also want to encourage their families to do the same.”

“We look forward to receiving awesome music videos, and good luck to everyone,” concludes la Grange.

You’ve Got the Power Challenge To become part of the challenge, visit www.ygtp.co.za for more information. Students are required to create a music video based on Bestmed’s song and demonstrate how healthy living can make for a better life within the school and family context.

Teachers and families can also participate in the video as the aim is for the whole school to have fun. Once the video is completed, it can be uploaded on the site before the competition closes on 30 September 2016.

Bestmed will announce the winners on 24 October 2016.

Consider what makes you happy As you spend time at your desk every day, going from class to class, and completing your homework, be alert to which subjects make you come alive a little more than others. Determine which subjects mirror your interests and career dreams, and include them. Carefully research how your favourite subjects manifest in the working world, as you may potentially have more - and more interesting - options than you are currently aware of.

Consider what you are good at Choose at least two subjects in which you can do really well. Admission to higher education is performance-based, so it makes sense to do very well in some subjects rather than badly in all of them because you chose only so-called gateway subjects.

When I grow up...

I want to...

know? Then leave as many options available as possible.

2. Don’t Those who are not yet sure about their future direction should choose subject

If you are clear about what you want to do, check out the websites of both public and private higher education institutions to verify their requirements, and let that guide your subject choices. Very importantly, look at a range of different institutions and courses within your field to allow yourself some choice and a Plan B after Matric.

Grade 9s: 4 tips for choosing the right subjects

Women on wheels

Recharge your car battery Q: How long will my battery last?

A: The average car battery lasts between five and seven years. If the car is parked unused for extended periods of time, the battery will need to be replaced sooner. To ensure you don’t have to replace it often, choose a high quality battery.

Q: How often should I refill the water in my battery?

A: If your car is fitted with a reliable, maintenance-free battery – never. Maintenancefree means you don’t have the hassle of refilling them, under normal operating conditions.

Q: How will I know when to replace my battery?

A: Before you rush to replace your battery, have it properly tested. Irregularities in your car or warning signs could be caused by something other than your battery.

However, some warning signs to look out for include: • The engine doesn’t start at all • Starting the motor is difficult or sounds sluggish

• The battery light on your dashboard is on • Your battery seems to lose power during cold or extended starts (in this case, the engine will start, then stop) • Your headlights dim when the car is idle

Q: How can I extend my battery life?

A: Check your battery regularly to ensure the terminals are clean, tightly secured and free of corrosion. Corrosion and leaks can interfere with the battery’s performance.

Also get your battery tested regularly to make sure it’s charging correctly. Ensure the hold-down bar that secures the battery in place is fitted correctly. This minimises damage-causing vibration.

Q: What should I do when my battery goes flat?

A: If your battery’s flat, you can recharge it using a portable battery charger. Jump starting is only a quick fix – best practice is to charge the battery properly to keep it in good condition. For complete peace of mind, visit your nearest battery centre to make sure your battery is in peak condition.

GLENWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL (t) 044 871 4643 (e) debbie.symes@glenwoodhouse.co.za Matric Farewell 2016 Excitement, joy and some nostalgic sadness was in the air on 22 July, as the Matric Class of 2016 celebrated their Matric Farewell. Reaching a milestone event like this would not only mean an unforgettable night, but would also hold the promise of an exciting future for every Matriculant.

The Oscars-themed affair was organised by the Grade 11 class, under the creative guidance of Mrs Swiegelaar. From the dazzling red carpet, to the exquisite décor – the night was fit for Hollywood.

The real stars of the show, however, were the exceptionally dressed Matric students. The ladies looked like celebrities with their glamorous dresses, while their dates looked dapper in their suits and tuxedoes.

The Matric Class of 2016 danced their hearts out, shared many laughs, and shed a tear or two as they watched a slideshow of their year in review. It truly was an unforgettable evening and definitely one of the highlights of their high school career!

Landboukongres AJ van Wyk, oud-Oakdaler en hoofseun in 2015, het op 28 Agustus as openingspreker by die jaarlikse Agri Wes-Kaapkongres opgetree.

Kongresgangers was uiters beïndruk en geïnspireer met AJ se siening oor “Wie besit die toekoms in landbou?” Hy het met aanvang reeds klem daarop gelê dat dit vir hom nie regtig gaan oor wat hy van die landbou verwag nie, maar eerder oor wat die landbou in SA van hom as jong boer, sou verwag. AJ is tans ‘n eerstejaarstudent aan Elsenburg.

Oakdale se toppresteerders in die onderskeie grade: VOOR: Hanro van Rooyen (Graad 10), Stefan Marais (Graad 9) en Estian Kritzinger (Graad 8). AGTER: Stander Terblance (Graad 12) en Koos Botha (Graad 11).
