Seeing that we are still in the midst of winter, we are bringing you some up-to-date info on how parents are often the ones suffering the worst in the cold and flu season – not just because they have to look after everyone, but also because they are at high risk to contract colds and flu.

We had the pleasure of chatting to the über-charming Elvis Blue about his journey as beloved South African musician.

This month, we would like you to meet team member Ryno Wolfaardt, who makes sure that we get the news from our AWSUM schools to you every month.

The winners of our recent competitions are announced below – congratulations! Happy DIY-ing and colouring in!

Enjoy this edition, and stay warm and healthy!

All the best for this term.

Elvis Blue

AWSUM Celebrity Interview

Elvis Blue became an overnight sensation when he won Idols in 2010. The hugely popular singersongwriter chatted to us about his journey, things he loves, and what the future holds.

Q: Tell us about your early journey as a musician.

A: During my high school years at Linden High, I started busking when I was about 16 around Rosebank, at parking lots and in malls.

I already wrote my own songs, so I had a great opportunity to play them to my ‘audiences’, as well as many other favourite and popular songs.

I took a gap year after school, and spent time as a street musician in Europe, mostly in Scotland and Ireland. I then studied contemporary music at Allenby Campus in Joburg and also had my own music school.

In my twenties, I released five albums, one of which was nominated for a SAMA. Q: What made you enter Idols?

A: In my thirties, I started getting really frustrated with my lack of commercial success, and decided to enter Idols. As they say, the rest is history.

I have been on a truly extraordinary and humbling journey ever since winning Idols.

Q: How did it happen that you split your Idols prize money?

A: Lloyd (Cele, who came second) realised that we both had R250 000 guaranteed when we were the final two standing. A few people joked throughout the day of the final that we should just split the money, and we started taking the idea seriously. Our decision to split the prize money, no matter who

Page 2

AWSUM NEWS JULY 2016

won, simply indicated our special friendship and a really cool journey we had together on Idols.

Q: Who are your greatest music role models?

A: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon. I also like pop stuff, Coldplay, and our ‘own’ special stars, such as Mango Groove and Johnny Clegg.

Q: Favourite songs?

A: Graceland, by Paul Simon. Where the Streets have no Names, U2. Secret Garden, Bruce Springsteen.

Q: Career highlights?

A: Opening for Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi! Also winning the SAMAs and other awards has been a huge honour.

Q: What does the future hold for Elvis Blue?

A: I am very lucky that I have a strong brand, with which I can explore different roads on my journey. I strive to be authentic in my music, to be honest and real and raw. More songs, in English and Afrikaans!

Q: What do you do when you’re not making music?

A: I love to surf at Victoria Bay, watch sports on TV, hang at my home with my wonderful wife and two adorable young daugthers, Jua and Lila. Six-year-old Lila is getting her first quitar today – she has been begging forever, so it is a quite a big event!

Goat’s cheese and beetroot tarts Makes 6 © Jenny Morris 2016

INGREDIENTS • 1x 400g roll Today’s Puff Pastry • 300g chevin • 150ml fresh cream • 1 whole egg plus 1 yoke beaten • Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 clove crushed garlic • 2 tbls pinenuts • 2 whole spring onions with tops chopped • 3 cooked beetroot sliced

METHOD • Pre-heat your oven to 190 deg C • Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour • Cut out 6 x 10cm rounds.

• Spray 6 x 8cm tart tins with non-stick spray.

• Press the pastry rounds onto the base and up the sides of the tart tins, chill till needed.

• Beat together the goat’s cheese, cream, whole and yolk, salt, pepper, garlic, pine nuts and spring onions.

• Divide the sliced beetroot between the six tarts, arrange onto the base of each pastry lined tart tin, spoon over the cheese mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tarts are golden and puffed up.

• Rest for 5 minutes before removing from the tins.

• Serve with a salad of thinly sliced red onion, wild rocket, halved Rosa tomatoes, shaved Parmesan and olive oil.

Goat cheese has been made for thousands of years, and was probably one of the earliest made dairy products. Goats milk is a wonderful substitute for cow’s milk for children that have a low tolerance to cow’s milk, well not only children, adults as well.

So it’s worth considering goats milk or cheese , especially if you’re sensitive to lactose from cow’s milk , and because goat cheese contains less lactose than cheese made from cow’s milk, it is typically well tolerated by those with lactose intolerance.

The reason goats milk and cheese is easier to digest is because the fat globules are smaller, resembling those of human milk, and the curd is softer than cow milk curd, but you don’t have to have an intolerance to enjoy the wonderful flavour of goats cheese, it is wonderful in sweet and savoury dishes, it love to be in the company of figs, nuts and honey, and really adores to be paired with pears and beetroot.

Sarah Esterhuizen

Parents most at risk for colds & flu Young children are a reservoir of germs and if they’re at crèche, school or anyplace else where they are around other children, they’re in a super-virus environment, which makes them the perfect vectors for illness and for passing viruses around. Kids hug, touch and cough all over each other. They chew on toys and as a result share their saliva, and then parents hug, kiss and cuddle them.

It’s no wonder that the average parent catches a cold more compared to those without children.

Families with two, three or four children have some type of virus present in their household just under 60% of the time, whereas childless households were only infected with viruses three to four weeks of the year.

Each additional child in a household increases a family member’s risk of falling ill. Parents who live with small children are 1.5 times more likely to become ill, since children under the age of five tend to have at least one virus present in their mucus 50% of the time.

It is imperative that those at risk, especially parents of younger children, give their immune systems a boost, whilst adequately protecting themselves from sources of cross-infection. But for a parent with little ones, it’s

difficult to take care of yourself when you’re ill, since you have to take care of everyone else. This makes the recovery process so much harder (and unpleasant).

The best and most practical way of protecting yourself (and your family), is to practise proper handwashing techniques and to do so often. This could reduce the chances of catching your child’s cold by 30 to 50%. Another way is to stay out of waiting rooms in doctor’s offices, emergency rooms and the shops, and to avoid public transport as much as possible. Also use your judgement about your own situation. If you are pregnant and have had several bouts of flu or have a newborn, you may actually want to wear a mask.

Besides eating your greens, getting enough sleep is a critical factor in fighting off colds and flu. Research tells us that people who sleep six hours or less a night are four times more likely to catch a cold when exposed to a virus, compared to those who get in more than seven hours a night. Most parents probably don’t get enough Zs, but it’s vital to your wellbeing, so try to carefully plan your day to ensure enough time is spent in slumberland.

- B.Pharm

The biggest risk factor for parents catching the common cold is having children under the age 12.

Parents fall ill almost twice as much as anyone else.

Keeping a clean and dust-free house is equally important. It might also be worth getting an air filter to clean and purify the air in your home, especially if you’ve experienced wave after wave of illness in your household.

In truth, there is no cure for the common cold or flu, but time-deprived parents may benefit from supplements that can boost their immune system.

If you do catch your child’s cold, there is an upside to all of this shared illness business: once a child starts to develop a functioning immune system, at about six months, the exposure to general viruses and germs isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since it helps build and stimulate the immune system.

It’s important to remember that a child’s immune system will only be fully developed between 12 to 14 years of age, when they finally reach adult levels of antibody formation, so you may be in for a tough few years, but as the children grow up, it will help them fight other infections and stay healthier in the long run.

Bestmed’s You’ve Got the Power Campaign is back!

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

Launched last year with 63 schools across the country, the ‘You’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 to 31 August.

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 runners-up and other spot prizes.

The overall winning school will, over and above its cash prize, be treated to a live concert by The Voice SA finalists.”

The ‘You’ve Got the Power Campaign’ challenge underpins Bestmed’s focus on preventative healthcare,

Page 4 AWSUM NEWS JULY 2016

which is validated by its wellness pillars of Be Active, Be 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 Loops’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,” she concludes.

You’ve Got the Power Challenge To become part of the challenge, visit www.ygtp. co.za for more information. Each school is 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 31 August 2016. Bestmed will announce the winners on 23 September 2016.

The winter solstice is the day when the Sun reaches its furthest north position in the sky and starts moving back towards the south. This marks one of the main turning points in the year, with the others being the equinoxes and the summer solstice in December. This year winter solstice was on Tuesday, 21 June.

Hulle het hulle harte oopgemaak en leerders aangemoedig om klere, skoene en nie-bederfbare kos bymekaar te maak om vir die ACVV Riversdal te skenk. Die ACVV versprei dit dan verder aan minderbevoorregtes.
