Working 16-hour days and weekends, deadlines, staff problems, production targets and other things may be keeping you awake at night. This lifestyle may be unhealthy, but often we have to continue coping with the work stress that we have, because we rely on the income we earn. How can one reduce the health hazards of work stress and still keep your job?
Things to remember 4Make sure that your job description is clear so that you know exactly what your responsibilities are.
4Don't bring outside stressors into the workplace.
4Don't cause unnecessary stress by coming late, not making deadlines or being un-prepared for presentations.
4Limit your coffee and junk food intake at work. On the long term, these things actually add to your stress levels.
4Don't get involved in office politics. They very seldom have any positive spin-offs for you and take up valuable time and energy.
4Get exercise. This is a very good stress reliever.
4Set goals for yourself learn new things “Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance on being the first?” Edgar Bergen.
We live in a country where the crime-rate is high and horror stories are on many newspaper front pages. Guard dogs that are poisoned or people lured away from home through some elaborate scheme are some of those stories.
Sometimes there is just nothing you can do to prevent being the target of a crime, but there are also many things you can do. Very often crimes are opportunistic and there is much you can do to make sure you are not the target of this type of crime.
Be ATM-wise. Don't draw large sums of cash in view of strangers. Don't get involved in conversations with anyone at ATM's – a request for assistance is often a prelude to being robbed. Avoid deserted ATM's at night and try not to go alone to an ATM machine.
Hide your briefcase. Driving around with a wallet or a briefcase on the passenger seat is inviting a smash-and-grab incident. Put it out of sight, either in the boot or under the seat.
Lock your car. Whether you're in it or not, it is a good idea always to keep the doors locked and windows closed. It has been known to happen that strangers get into cars at traffic lights or nab things out of unlocked cars- even if you have only stopped for 2 minutes to post a letter. Be aware of your surroundings. Get into the habit of checking who is in your vicinity when you are walking in the street. Or when you get home at night. If there are unknown people lurking in your street, drive past, but don't open your gates while they are still there.
Things that go bump in the night. If you hear a noise in the house at night, for heaven's sake don't investigate on your own.
Get out if you can and summon help. A cell phone next to your bed is always a good idea, especially if you pre-dial the emergency number.
All that glitters. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery when in public places like shopping centres. Like very expensive watches or cell phones, it will make you a target of muggers.
On Wednesday the 11 August, Veryan Ramalhete, was driving in the centre of town when suddenly her car broke down. Inspector Huebs and Inspector Mogotsi from the local police department were luckily nearby and came to her rescue.
They were unfortunately unable to repair her car but quickly called for help. Another two police officers came, whose names she was unfortunately unable to obtain, where quickly on the scene. With tools borrowed from nearby Lewis Furniture store they were able to repair her vehicle. She would like to thank every one who helped her. Triest Training Centre hou Lente Mark

Pageant Academy SA was nog altyd bekend vir die puik produksies wat op die planke gebring word maar selfs die keer het organiseerder, Zee Dyson, haarself oortref.
Die eksklusiewe “Pilot’s Cocktail Party”, die openingsfunksie van die lugskou, het plaasgevind op 13 Augustus. So ‘n skouspel het Klerksdorp definitief nog nie beleef nie.
20 finaliste het meegeding om die “Miss Air Show” kroon. Selfs skoonhede van Nelspruit, Lydenburg, Johannesburg, Vryburg ens. was teenwoordig. Die paneel beoordelaars is kundig uitgesoek en die funksie is ook bygewoon deur “Miss Teen World” 2003 en 2004.
Die aand was gevul met elegansie en hope vermaak. Die deelname van die SA Lugmag se vlieëniers aan die produksie was ‘n absolute hoogte punt. Hul was geklee in vol Menasie univorm en het die finaliste begelei op die verhoog.
Dit was ‘n gebeurtenis wat nog nooit in die bestaan van die lugmag plaasgevind het nie. Goedkeuring vir hierdie deelname moes op die hoogste vlak geskied.
Die betrokkenheid van hierdie vlieëniers het die publiek terdeë geniet aangesien daar op persoonlike vlak kennis gemaak is. Die organiseerder. “ Dit was vir my ‘n ongelooflike voorreg om met hierdie dinamiese groep manne te werk. Nie alleen is hul kenners op hul vlak nie maar ook uiters aangename mense”.
Die finaliste is ook gebeeldsend op SABC 2 waar hul verfilm is tydens hul optrede by die lugskou. Die 20 finaliste was ook getrakteer met elegante aandrokke, limousine, ritte, sjampanje ontbyt, pryse, helicopter ritte ens. Zee Dyson bedank die borge hartlik vir hul inset. Sonder hul betrokkenheid sou hierdie geleentheid nie so suksesvol gewees het nie.
Die wenners van die kompetisie is soos volg: Miss Air Show - Deirdré Prinsloo 1ste Prinses - Madeli Putter 2de Prinses - Sarieta Smit
Alhoewel Pageant Academy SA grootliks konsentreer op nasionale produksies in Gauteng hoop ons om meer soortgelyke funksies van hulle te sien in Klerksdorp.
