Jaarliks vind die SA Kampioenskap vir Uitvoerende Kunste
plaas in Rustenburg. Vir ‘n week lank word straf mee geding
in sang, drama, dans, modelwerk en instrumentele opvoerings.
Die eindelike doelwit, ‘n medalje en om die SA span te haal.
Die SA span neem jaarliks deel aan die wêreldkampioenskap
wat in die VSA, Los Angeles, plaasvind. Die kampioenskap kan
vergelyk word met ‘n SA kampioenskap in bv. atletiek.
Pageant Academy het 5 modelle inge-skryf. Eienaar, Zee
Dyson, het soos verlede jaar ook deel geneem aan sang. Zee
het vir ses sang style ingeskryf. Sy het deelgeneem in
Gospel, Rock, Pop en Country style, waar sy 1ste en 2de plek
behaal het. Wat haar modelle betref: Christelle Vermaak het
fantasties presteer. Sy het aan 4 kategorieë deel geneem.
Fotogenies, informeel – Goue medalje,
Formeel – Goue medalje en Swemdrag – silwer medalje.
Christelle se borrellende vertoning was deurslaggewend. Sy
vertrek definitief na VSA, Los Angeles om aan die wêreld
kampioenskap deel te neem . Sy is deur ‘n beoordeelaar
uitgewys as die mees fotogeniese deelnemer van die
inskrywings in all ouderdomsgroepe. Nicola Habeck het harte
gesteel by vanjaar uitmuntende aanleg as model het sy met
nog ‘n talent na vore getree. Sy is ook ‘n puik sangeres. Sy
het sang items gelewer wat die beoordeelaars en gehoor na
hul asems laat snak het. Sy het vir modelwerk en sang die
volgende gewen:
Sang: -
Broadway Goud
Pop Silwer
Rock Silwer
Gospel Silwer
Wordmusic Silwer
Modelwerk:
Fotogenies Brons
Formeel Brons
Informeel Silwer
Swemdrag Silwer
In sang het Nicola deelgeneem aan ouderdomkategorie 5-7 jaar,
maar was ook aangewys as algehele wenner 5- 10 jaar.
Hiervoor het sy ‘n spesiale toekenning ontvang. Nicola is
die jongste uitvoerproduk van die Brian Kenneth sangskool.
Sy vertrek ook na die VSA op 2 Augustus vanjaar. Op 24 April
is sy ook in Gauteng aangewys as “Miss Thumbelina”. Marilyn
Ramos het die beoordelaars beïndruk met haar ongelooflike
elegansie en grasie op die loopplank. SA kampioenskap
Direkteur Ellen Roux, het soos volg gemeld: “Sy’s net 13 en
haar sagte, innemende persoonlikheid, selfvertroue en
elegansie weerspieël op die looplank. Dit plaas haar in ’n
ander kategorie. Dieselfde kategorie as voormalige Mej. SA
titeldraers. Sy word gemerk en troon uit in haar
ouderdomsgroep. “Marilyn word geken as ‘n leier en nie ‘n
volgeling nie.” Dit is nog nie seker of sy na die VSA sal
gaan nie. 688 Provinsiale deelnemers het vanjaar aan die
SA’s deel geneeem. Dit was ook die sewende jaar wat die
kampioenskap geplaasvind het. Die kompetisie is straf, maar
dis ‘n wonderlike geleentheid en leerskool. Zee moedig almal
aan om volgende jaar in te skryf.

Die bekende spreker, Pierre Spies, het onlangs ‘n baie
suksesvolle seminaar in die dorp aangebied. Die onderwerp
van die seminar was “persoonlike groei en visie.” Uit
ervaring is gevind dat persone wie die seminare bywoon en
die beginsels toepas, ‘n positiewe ervaring beleef met hul
kinders, eggenoot, werkgewers en werknemers. Die seminaar is
op Woensdag 5 Mei in die Burgersentrum aangebied en is
moontlik gemaak deur die Klerksdorp Sakekamer. Volgens die
talle mense wat die seminaar bygewoon het, was dit ‘n reuse
sukses.

Hospice Week was celebrated across the country from the
first till the eighth of May. The program for the week
kicked-off with their annual Fete that was held at the
Hospice House, followed with a ballet performance by the
Ballet Theater Afrikan on Wednesday the fifth of May. But
the highlight surely must have been the “Walking in
Grandmother’s shoes”. That was the theme for their fun walk
on Saturday at Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket. “The purpose was to
recognize the role ‘grannies’ play in ‘bringing up’ their
grandchildren whose parents have passed away” says Joan from
the Hospice team. Pick ‘n Pay sponsored a computer for the
school who had the most entrants. Alabama Primary School was
overwhelmed to receive their new computer.

Do you plod through the day at the office? Are you so tired
by the afternoon that exercise is the last thing on your
mind? Do you flop into bed at night and roll out of it
exhausted in the morning? Your problem might simply be that
you have low energy levels, and if so, there are quick and
easy natural remedies to give you the boost you need.
Low-energy days are one part genetics, two parts diet and
three parts stress. Stress is clearly the main culprit. If,
for example, you are stuck in a traffic jam on your way to
work and you let negative thoughts and road rage raise your
stress level, your body will release enough adrenalin and
insulin to keep you running flat out for over a kilometre.
If this energy is left unused, the adrenalin will continue
coursing through your veins, diverting energy away from
vital bodily functions. This will leave you feeling tired
and even slightly depressed for the rest of the day. Instant
energy boosters
-
Start
the day off with a steaming cup of water and a squeeze
of fresh lemon juice. This will not only refresh and
revitalise you, but will cleanse your palate and will
boost your liver function.
-
Feast
on this energy-packed smoothie for breakfast: blend one
banana, one mango, half a medium sized pineapple, a
tablespoon of rolled oats and 150ml milk or a small cup
of plain, low-fat yoghurt.
-
Keep a
spray bottle of water or a rehydrating freshener on your
desk at work. Use it to freshen you up during the long
day.
-
Burn
peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil in an oil burner
or spill a few drops onto a tissue and inhale deeply.
This will stimulate the trigeminal nerve in your nose
and palate, which will in turn boost your energy levels.
Feeling sluggish? Try this quick acupressure technique on
yourself: pinch the point between your thumb and forefinger
and hold for two minutes then gradually release

Friendly greetings to all our health-minded readers. This
time we take a look at what we can do to better fend off all
the nasty bugs many of us are prone to fall victim to at
this time of the year.
Eating habits play a major role in establishing and
maintaining a healthy immune system. Eat lots of fresh, raw
plant-based dishes. As a rule of thumb fruits cleanse the
body and veggies build up the body. It’s important to
include as mush variety as possible. This gives us the added
benefit of taking in as much as possible of the protective
phytonutrients. Remember lots of different colours of plant
foods give us life-giving enzymes, carotenoids and
bio-available vitamins and minerals. Dark green veggies are
essential for protecting against a host of disease.
Avoid eating too much processed, refined foods and cooked
foods where at all possible. As an example, a can of
commonly consumed fixxy, sugared soft drink contains enough
sugar to shut an adult immune system down for as long as
eight hours. That’s a third of the day, so avoid cane sugar,
white flour, fast foods, fried foods, etc.
Keep your body’s ph correct by eating alkaline-forming
foods. A body in an acid-crisis is more susceptible to
disease. Eat as mentioned above and add in extra avocados,
millet, almonds and big, raw salads to help curb acidity
naturally. Supplemental Base Powder or Calcium and
Magnesium are also beneficial and help keep acidity at bay.
Pro-biotics, also known as friendly flora or friendly
bacteria, stimulate the immune system and protect the body
against harmful bacteria and yeasts like Candida albicans.
Choose a pro-biotic containing Lactobacillus Acidophilus and
Bifida Longum.
Essential fatty acids are also very important at maintaining
a healthy immune system. Supplemental flax seed oil
containing omega 3, 6 and 9 is a good source.
Antioxidants like pycnogenol (pine bark extract), grape seed
extract, propolis, Cili Bao fruit crystals, selenium,
Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc are all great to supplement with as
they are powerful free radical scavengers and immune
enhancers.
Marvelous as it is, the immune system can work as it should
only if it is cared for properly. This means getting all
the right nutrients and providing the right environment plus
avoiding those things that tend to depress immunity.
Environmental factors that compromise our immune system’s
defense abilities include the following:
-
Chemicals in household cleaners.
-
Overuse
of antibiotics and other drugs.
-
Antibiotics, pesticides and myriad of additives in our
food.
-
Environmental pollutants.
It’s been great to share with you again and we trust this
information will help us all as we continue on life’s
journey in the healthiest way possible. Yours for “Quality
Health the Fun Way”.

Op Saterdag 1 Mei het al wat 4x4 leef en beef opgetrek na
ELAND SAFARI LODGE vir die Schoonies jaarlikse 4x4 Fees. Al
wat motorvervaardiger is, was verteenwoordig as borge van
verskeie hindernisse. Selfs Volkswagen se nuutste toetrede
in die groeiende 4x4 mark die TOUAREG was op demonstrasie en
het nie ‘n tree terug gestaan vir die harde baarde nie.
Deelnemers moes met ‘n houer water op die 4x4 voertuig
vasgeplak die hindernisse voltooi of te wel klouter en grou
en so veel water moontlik by die beheerpunte uitbring. Manne
en vroue het hierdie uitdagings met ywer aangepak en hulle
omtrent letterlik gate uit geniet. Hanlie Lombaard het die
skare vermaak met haar sang terwyl daar ‘n tydjie was tussen
voertuie. Van kos en drank was daar te kies en te keur.
Inderdaad ‘n heerlike manier om die somer te kon vaarwel
roep en die jagseisoen dag te sê, want hierdie roete wat die
voertuie moes voltooi kronkel deur die Eland Safari wildkamp.
Nadat die deelnemers beloon is met pryse, het die orkes van
3D die mense laat skoffel tot laat. Daarna het die heerlike
wildsbok en skaap op die spit uiteindelik die honger pyne
gestil. Daarna het die orkes weer laat geskoffel tot
vroegdag toe. ‘n Video van die dag se gebeure is aanmekaar
gesit, tot met ‘n vliegtuig uit die lig geneem. Hierdie
video’s sal binnekort beskikbaar wees. Vir navrae kontak
Tinus Botha by 082 476 7630.

Host a Cuppa for CANSA event and drink to the benefits of
nature’s beverage.
Drinking tea may be healthier than you think. Research in
the USA points to tea being a healthier beverage than
previously thought, making it the perfect partner for
CANSA’s annual “Cauppa for CANSA” campaign, which raises
funds and crates awareness of healthy living.
“Studies show that tea contains plant polyphenols that are
similar and in some cases identical to fruits and vegetables
that we know are health promoting” says Joel Perry, Health
Programmes Director for CANSA.
Perry adds that scientists are just beginning to understand
antioxidants and other nutrients present not only in green
and black tea but also in Rooibos tea.
Results of research conducted by various bodies around the
world have revealed how antioxidants neutralize harmful
oxygen molecules (free radicals) responsible for damaging
cells and causing tumors and heart disease.
At the Second International Scientific Symposium on Tea and
Human health, Prof Jushi Ghen from the Chinses Academy of
Preventive Medicine, reported that green and black tea had
strongly positive anti-cancer effect when administered over
six months to patients with pre-cancerous mouth lesions.
Similarly tests done at the Indiana University School of
Medicine found definite positive antioxidant activity in
lung cancer patients who consumed green and black tea, while
yet another study established that consumption of green and
black tea could even retard the development of lung cancer
in organisms exposed to tobacco carcinogens.
Here in South Africa, the Medical Research Council of South
Africa is researching the effects of South Africa’s
indigenous Rooibos an Honeybush teas in relation to
decreasing the cancer-causing effects of environmental
carcinogens.
So, now with tea looking to be more friend than foe, what
better way to celebrate than to register and host a tea
party for CANSA’s “Cuppa for CANSA”
This year popular annual event is being co-sponsored by
Dilmah Tea and Shoprite Checkers with all proceeds going
toward CANSA’s new smart way of thinking: that prevention is
better than cure and that healthy living can help prevent
cancer.
As a registered host. CANSA will provide you with posters,
leaflet, and collection envelope and guest registration
from. By inviting your guest and asking those to make a
small donation for their favorite beverage you will be
making a meaningful contribution to CANSA and its invaluable
work in promoting health in South Africa.
Cuppa for CANSA sponsor Dilmah Tea is giving away an
exquisite Noritake Tea Set worth R3 000! To win this
wonderful prize all you have to doe is to register to host
your own ‘Cuppa’ get-together and sign up as many other
Cuppa for CANSA host as possible. The host who successfully
recruits the most additional hosts will win the Noritake Tea
Set!

The Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion
comes alive like never before with incredible visual and
special effects in this all-new, fun- filled comedy
adventure. Shrouded in fog and mystery, the mansion was once
a stately antebellum palace that hosted New Orleans’
wealthiest. Now it’s the creepy and crumbling home to a love
struck 19th century gentleman, 999 ghosts, and a hilarious
and hair-raising battle for “home rule.” Realtor Jim Evers
and his wife and business partner Sara get a call late one
night from mansion owner Edward Gracey, who is looking to
sell his property. Smelling the biggest deal of their
career, Jim, Sara and their two children pay a visit to the
mansion, located on a remote bayou. A torrential
thunderstorm of mysterious origin strands the Evers family
in the old mansion with the brooding, eccentric Gracey, his
mysterious butler Ramsley, and a variety of residents both
seen and unseen. At first, Jim scoffs at Gracey’s stories
about ghosts and hauntings, until he unearths the mystery of
the mansion and finds that his wife Sara has unexpected
connections to its haunted past.

hello
What else could you have done? You keep turning the
experience over in your mind.
You are rethinking your actions and responses, which leads
to questioning and doubting yourself. Instead of making
yourself crazy, why not ask and honestly answer this one
simple question, “What else could I have done?” Then
take it one step further by asking, “If you could have
done it, why didn’t you do it?” Could you have
been more considerate? Compassionate? Understanding?
Probably. Could you have been more patient? More tolerant?
More cautious? Well, what do you think? Could have said more
or less? Could have listened a bit closer? Could have
planned better? Waited longer?
Of course you could have, but you didn’t. When you feel
sufficiently remorseful, overwhelming confused and totally
beaten down, you WILL be on the brink of a divine
revelation! You will be face to face with something you have
never considered. Something too simple! Too easy! The truth
is, if you could have done it, you would have!
The fact that you didn’t means you couldn’t
for reasons you may or may not be aware right now.
Second-guessing yesterday will not help you today. Holding
yourself hostage to what was not, will not propel you into
what will be. As you accept the reality of what you did not
do in the past, you open yourself to the luxury of knowing
it does not mean you will not do better in the future. Until
today you may have held yourself hostage with remorse over
what you could have done.
In fact you may be pushing yourself to a point of
remorseful no return. Just for today, realize you did
all you could have done. Take note of what you saw,
heard, felt and experienced. Use those notes as preparation
to do better at some later date.

The last time we saw a BMW 6 Series was in the late 80s and
that car became a motoring icon. Now, almost two decades
later, the all-new 6 Series - in coupé and cabriolet guise -
is set to become a new cult car. Engineering Under the
bonnet of the 645 Ci is a responsive 4.4-litre
eight-cylinder. Equipped with the innovative Valvetronic
valve control system this unit produces 245 kW at 6 100
r/min and torque is a useful 450 Nm at 3 600 r/min. Of
course it is a fast mover and it goes from 0-100km/h in 6.1
seconds (6.2 seconds for the automatic) and top speed is
limited to 250km/h. There are three six-speed transmission
choices: a Steptronic automatic, a sequential- manual
gearbox, and a manual. The car has an aluminum chassis which
helps to obtain excellent road holding while BMW’s active
suspension setup, Dynamic Drive, helps to minimize body
roll. Standard on the 6 Series is the Active Steering system
providing optimal level of assistance depending on vehicle
speed. Thanks to this system the 6 Series, which is almost
five meters long and about two meters wide, is quite a
maneuverable set of wheels. The car is packed with a
mouthful of standard driving and safety acronyms such as
ABS, ASC, DBC, EBD, DSC and CBC Interior The 645Ci
convertible is a 2+2 seater. It is finished of in the
softest leather and wood trim. Electrical adjustment of the
driver’s and front passenger’s seats is standard, with a
triple memory function on the driver’s seat. As with the 5
and 7 the controversial iDrive system is also standard. From
the third quarter voice entry system will be available,
enhancing the BMW’s iDrive control philosophy. This system
is available in conjunction with the Professional navigation
system and the Car Communication Computer (CCC) - both
standard on SA-spec 6 Series convertibles. The key feature
of voice entry is the option to select all essential iDrive
comfort functions by voice entry while driving, without
taking one’s eyes off the road even for a split-second.
Driving it The 6 Series is light of foot and it feels really
alive. Furthermore the car has an almost perfect 50/50
weight distribution and with all the safety features on hand
this BMW offers great handling ability. Despite its cruiser
image the 6 Series convertible is a driver’s car first and
foremost. It offers one of the best rides in the business
and gets the adrenaline pumping like few other cars. .

To ensure that the Corolla Verso caters to your every whim
on the road, it comes with a 1.8 liter VVT-i engine capable
of producing 95kW of power and 170Nm of torque. Optional on
the SX and standard on TX models is Toyota’s MMT (Multi-mode
Manual Transmission).
This gives you the option of shifting gears without clutch,
or depending on your mood, letting the Corolla Verso shift
gears automatically, saving you the effort and, believe it
or not, the fuel. With up to 7 airbags, 3-point safety belts
for all 7 passengers, vehicle stability control (depending
on model) and ABS, the Corolla Verso takes Toyota’s renewed
safety to a higher level. Apart from the Toyota badge, the
other feature you’ll find familiar in the Verso is the
standard 5-year/90 000km Toyota Care Service Plan.
Versatility. The word itself can be interpreted and used in
a lot of different ways, a bit like the new Toyota Corolla
Verso. No measure has been spared in making this car that
suits your lifestyle, whatever it may be.
So how does your lifestyle fit into the Verso? Well, start
at the spacious and flexible 7 seat configuration that
allows ample space for 5 adults and two children. In
addition, each of the 5 seats in the 2nd and 3rd row can
easily be folded down without having to remove the head
straints, to create a completely fl at load area to
accommodate cargo. Breaking with MPV convention with its
sporty exterior styling, the Verso goes a step further with
its elegant interior. Step inside and you’ll immediately be
greeted by the optitron instrumentation with milky green
illumination, a standard 6-speaker audio system with
steering wheel controls, and depending on the model, a
leather covered 3-spoke steering wheel plus an in-dash 6-CD
changer, automatic climate control & park assist. So
whatever your taste, you’ll find the Verso interior quite
tasteful.

The Brabus tuning program is available for the Maybach 57
and 62 and not only does it include engine tuning but also
some styling changes. The tuning company’s car interior
designers have give the Maybach’s cabin a leather and
Alcantara touch which is complemented by colour-contrasted
decorative seams. Furthermore the Brabus developers have
added additional interesting features for the standard
entertainment system of the Maybach.
There
are 15.2-inch colour monitors integrated into the back of
the front seat. These monitors also serve as computer
screens. It features an 80 Gigabyte hard drive and is
connected to the Internet at up to 1.5 times the speed of
ISDN using a W-LAN and a fourplex GPRS router. For
comfortable operation the system features a handy wireless
keyboard and a wireless optical gyro mouse Externally the
Brabus Maybach can be distinguished by its custom-tailored
Brabus Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels.
The fully polished wheels with six double spokes fill out
the wheel houses. The Brabus air suspension unit lowers the
ride height of the Maybach by about 15mm without
compromising its unique ride comfort. Brabus further refined
the elegant lines of the Maybach with two auxiliary
headlights integrated stylishly into the production front
apron using two precise-fitting inserts.
Under the bonnet is a Brabus SV12 biturbo engine and
displacement is increased for 5.5 tot 6.3-litres. It has a
maximum power output of 471kW at 5 100r/min and a gigantic
peak torque of 1&Nbsp;026Nm available from 1 750r/min. It
accelerates from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds and top speed is
limited to 300km/h

Monte Carlo, Monaco
The glamour venue on the Formula One calendar, the Monaco
Grand Prix is an occasion for the rich and famous to strut
their stuff. Totally unsuitable for the modern Formula One
car – Nelson Piquet described driving there as being “ like
riding a bicycle around your living room” – the classic
street circuit, first used in 1929, keeps it place on the
calendar by virtue of its star quality and historical
significance. Overtaking is highly impossible unless the
driver of the car ahead makes a mistake. But mistakes can
change the course of the race, and often do. Monaco is a
supreme test driving skill, rewarding those who thread their
way through the unending walls of Armco with consistency and
accuracy as well as speed. This was demonstrated yet again
by last year’s winner Juan Pablo Montoya. Normally the “wild
man” of Formula One, the Columbian showed that, when needed,
he also has the skill and restraint for this mother of all
street circuits, coolly holding off the challenging Kimi
Räikkönen, who set up a new race lap record of 161,298 km/h
(the first ever race lap of over 100 mph) during this chase.
Race Distance:
78 Laps, 262,860 km
Start:
14:00 South African time
2003 Winner:
Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams-BMW) in a time of 1 hr 42 min 19,010
sec.
2003 Pole:
Ralf Schumacher (Williams-BMW) in a time of 1 min 15,259.

Askarri het koning gekraai oor Lichtenburg in wedstryde wat
op 8 Mei op Lichtenburg se tuisveld gespeel is. Wedstryde is
in goeie gees gespeel en Askarri se eerste, tweede en derde
spanne het oortuigende oorwinnings oor die Lichtenburgspanne
behaal.
Die o.20-span was egter nie so gelukkig in sy wedstryd teen
Westonaria nie. Die wedstryd is ook op 8 Mei op Westonaria
se tuisveld gespeel. Alhoewel Askarri die scrums oorheers
het, kon slegs Victor Phika ‘n drie druk. Die gesoute
spelers van Westonaria het egter hulle ervaring gewys deur
die wedstryd 43-5 te wen.
Die volgende wedstryde waaraan Askarri deelneem vind plaas
op 15 Mei teen Wes Wits. Die eerste, tweede en derde spanne
speel op Askarri se tuisveld. Die o.20-span speel op 22 Mei
teen Rustenburg Bobbies op Askarri se tuisveld.
Ondersteuners word verwelkom by hierdie wedstryd. Die
o.20-span speel nie noodwendig saam met die eerste, tweede
en derde spanne nie en die meeste van hul wedstryde word weg
gespeel.

After the eight-hour day, dropping and fetching the kids,
shopping, exercising and cooking, you deserve to retire into
a beautiful bedroom. Your bedroom should be a haven of
relaxation and rest, a place where body and mind are
rejuvenated and prepared for the next hectic day. Here are
some ways to make your slumber zone, a pleasure zone:
* Piles of pillows: Cover your bed with soft, sumptuous
cushions and pillows. (You can even make your own scented
pillows by stuffing them with sleep-inducing lavender and
geranium).
* Light up your life: Get rid of harsh, overhead lighting
and install soft, gentle lights and bedside lamps.
* Light a candle: Position scented aromatherapy candles all
around the room – lavender and chamomile induce relaxation
and sleep, while ylang ylang and sandalwood will promote
romance.
* Flower power: Fill window boxes with herbs like lavender
and chamomile that will give off their beautiful relaxing
scents on hot summer nights. Position vases with freshly
cut, sweet-scented roses, lilies or sweet peas. Herb posies
will not only add to the bouquet of scents, but will also
keep insects at bay.
* Burn, baby, burn: If you’re allergic to pollen,
aromatherapy burners can disperse the sensual scents of
ylang ylang, sandalwood, geranium and lavender essential
oils. Alternatively, you can scent a tissue with a few drops
of lavender oil and put it under your pillow. Avoid lavender
if you’re pregnant and bear in mind that too much ylang
ylang can cause headaches and nausea.
* Bring balance to your bedroom: You want maximum sun in the
morning, but minimum light at night, so it’s important to
balance light and shade.
* If you have the money, change your curtains with the
seasons: go for thick, comforting velvets or denim in winter
and crisp, float voile and muslin in summer.
