Hydrate to prevent heat strokeIn response to the prediction ofvery hot weather for the next fewweeks, the start of school athlet-icsprogrammesandwith thehar-vest season in full swing, theWestern Cape GovernmentHealth is reminding people of thefollowing guidelines to help pre-vent heat stroke and exhaustion:

) Babies, the elderly and peopleworking or exercising in a hot envi-ronment are at particular risk forheat stroke/exhaustion;

) People using chronic medica-tion need to drink extra water dur-ing heat waves to ensure that theirkidneys are not further stressed.

General prevention (All Ages):) Stay out of the sun if at all possi-

ble, if not wear a large hat to protectthe head from the sun, use an um-brella to add shade;

) Use a small wet towel or clothunder hats or on shoulders to helpkeep cool;

) Stay hydrated – in the currenttemperatures, staying hydrated ismost important – drink asmuchwa-ter as you need; and

) Always carry water with you.) Should you use a chronic medi-

cation, such as high blood pressureor diabetes medication rememberthatbecomingdehydratedplacesex-tra stress on the kidneys, drink am-ple clean water;

) Use the rehydration solution ifyou are thirsty even though you aredrinking water;

) Mix the following together in aclean bottle 1F water, 8 teaspoonssugar and½ a teaspoon of salt. Thisis safe for all ages to drink especiallyfor those people who work or exer-cise outdoors, suchas childrenprac-tising athletics and road or farmworkers;

) Ensure that the elderly and in-firm have easy access to water.

Tips for Babies:) Breastfeed on demand – breast

milk is all that babies younger thansix months require, you need notgive the baby water or tea to ‘cooldown’ they only need breastmilk, asbaby needs it;

) Breastfeeding moms must re-member to drink extra water, coldrooibos tea also makes a refreshingand healthy drink;

) Take your baby to the clinic atthe first sign of diarrhoea and/orvomiting;

) Keep babies in the shade or in-doors;

) Wipe baby down with a cleandampcloth– thiswillhelpkeepthemcool;

) Do not cover babies in a lot ofclothingandblankets; light clothingis sufficient.

Tips for children:) Keep babies and children in the

shade;) Avoid sports activities if possi-

ble, if sport is essential; ensure thatthere is a lot of water and rehydra-tion solution available;

) Children must wear hats andsunblock;

)Keep children indoors between11:00 and 16:00.

TipsForthoseworkingoutside:) This is for sports people, teach-

ers and/or coaches and employersof builders, gardeners and others re-quired to work outside;

) Keep your head covered, placea wet cloth under your hat to helpkeep cool;

) Make sure that there is lots ofcool, clean water to drink

) Take regular, short breaks inthe shade

) When taking a break, pour wa-

ter over your head to help the bodycool down;Symptoms of heat exhaustion/

stroke:) Heat stroke can be fatal and

should be treated as amedical emer-gency. Heat exhaustion is a less se-vere condition but can quicklyprogress to heat stroke if left un-treated. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke occur when the body is una-ble to lower its temperature to nor-mal levels through the skin or bysweating;

) Dehydration can cause heatstroke because the body is unable tosweat fast enough to dissipate theheat.

Signs of heat exhaustion in-clude:

) Nausea or vomiting;) A pale skin colour;) Tiredness and weakness;) Headache;) Muscle cramps and dizziness;) If the symptoms are severe or

the victim has a heart condition orhigh blood pressure, seek urgentmedical help;

) Give the person the oral rehy-dration solution described above.Do not add too much salt – the mix-ture should taste like tears. Sportsdrinks or commercial oral rehydra-tion solution are also effective. If thesymptoms worsen or last longerthan an hour, seek urgent medicalattention.Remember:) Childrenunder twoyears are at

high risk of dehydration which canlead rapidly to very dangerous con-ditions. This is even more danger-ous if a child has diarrhoea and/orvomiting. Use the sugar-salt-solu-tion tohelp themnot todryoutwhileyou seek medical attention at yournearest clinic or emergency unit.

Dooie Klapmuts-visse ’n raaisel’n Inwoner van die landgoed Rozen-meer op Klapmuts het die afgelopenaweek op ’n grusame toneel afge-kom.Rob Bolton het naby ’n dam waar

hy woon gaan stap toe hy honderdedooievisseopdiewater siendryfhet.“Dit isonbeskryflik.Ekkonnieglo

wat ek gesien het nie. Dit het al vrotgeruik.”Bolton sê hy het toe gaan onder-

soek instel oor wat veroorsaak hetdat die visse gevrek het.Die dambehoort aan ’n plaas langs

die landgoed en ’n gedeelte daarvanis binne die landgoed.“Ek het van die mense wat buite

die landgoed woon en gereeld daarkomvisvang, gevra of hulle dalk iets

weet.Vanhullehet gesêdit het verle-deDonderdagbaie gereënen ’n riool-stelsel het dalk oorstroomwat glo indie dam ingeloop het.”Boltonhet gesêwatnogmeer skok-

kender is, is dat van die mense diedooie visse weggedra het.“Dit kan lewensgevaarlik wees,

want jy weet nie waaraan die goedgevrek het nie. Van my bure het ookgenoemdathulledieSaterdaggesienhet hoemense die dooie visse optel.”Vernon Bouwers, woordvoerder

van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit,het gesê hulle is bewus van dievoorval.“Ons is reeds besig met ondersoe-

ke na moontlike bydraende faktore.Ons het bevestig dat daar geen voor-

valle van besoedeling by die riool-pompstasies was nie.“Daar was wel ’n rioolverbinding

wat verstop was wat intussen oopge-maak is, maar dit kan nie bevestigword dat dit die oorsaak van die pro-bleem was nie.”Bouwers het gesê die munisipali-

teit beoog ook om dringend met an-der rolspelers te vergader en diekwessie te ondersoek.“Dit sluit in die departement van

water en sanitasie, die departementvan omgewingsake en ontwikke-lingsbeplanning asook die KaapseWynland-distriksmunisipaliteit omdievoorvalenasookdiedeurlopendebestuur van die rivier en omgewingte bespreek.”

Minister Alan Winde with students at the opening of the academic year at the Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute.

Winde welcomes agri studentsAlan Winde, Western Cape minis-ter of economic opportunities, ad-dressed students on Friday at thestartof theacademicyearatElsen-burg Agricultural Training Insti-tute in Stellenbosch.

This year 235 first-year students en-rolled at the institute.Winde told the students they found

themselves in this industry at a veryexciting time.“In the Western Cape we are focus-

sing on ‘game changing’ industriesand projects that will deliver realgrowth and jobs to our residents. Byentering this sector you will play animportant role in moving this prov-ince forward in the years ahead.“One of our highest priorities is

transforming agriculture throughour land reform projects. We want tomake sure that asmanypeople aspos-sible can benefit from growth in theindustry.”He also spoke about the National

Development Plan that has set a tar-get to transfer 20% of agricultural

land to previously disadvantagedSouth Africans by 2030.The Department of Rural Develop-

ment and Land Reform has startedwith the launching of the DistrictLand Reform Committees.Winde said these committees will

be responsible for identifying land re-form opportunities in their immedi-ate area.“We will assist these committees

with implementation. Already, 60%of this province’s land reform pro-jects are on track. My hope is that bythe time you have completed yourstudieswecanpoint toevenmoresuc-cess stories.“Weknowthat for agriculture to re-

main competitive, we must build onthe culture of innovation. This iswhywe are turning our focus to agri-proc-essing.”According to Winde Agri-process-

ing is already a large contributor tothe economy and holds significantgrowth potential.“It directly contributes R12 billion

in gross value added (GVA) and ac-

counts for 79 000 formal jobs in theprovince. Under a high growth sce-nario, the sector’s GVA contributioncould increase by 126%, to R26 billionin 2019, and it could add a further100 000 formal jobs over this period.“There is huge pressure on our re-

sources. We will have to find newways to improve water managementandwe are looking at developing newinfrastructure andwateruse efficien-cy programmes. Skills developmentand R&D are very important priori-ties. Here we have very excitingthings inmind.Aconceptwewill lookinto is the establishment of special-ized agro-processing parks providingR&D, skills development facilitiesand a suite of world-class infrastruc-ture.”He said in theWesternCape,we are

serious about skills development foryoung people.“We recognise that we need to give

you the support you need to create abetter future for yourselves to makeavaluable contribution to our societyand economy.”

Ons Gee Om.Ons Gee Om.

What is in a name?Whatshall Inamemynew business? Shall Iname it after myself,for instance “JoeSoap’s Butchery”, orthe townwhere I live,like “KoekenaapBeauty Parlour” orchoose a name thatdescribes what I amdoing, for example“Fix-a-Dent Panelbeaters” or a namethat has some special meaningfor myself.

Onecancertainlynamesomead-vantages and disadvantages toeach of the above, but I believe thattoselectthebestnameitisnecessa-ry to have a long term perspective.

What will happen if Joe Soap’sson or grandson “Andrew” some-day succeeds Joe in the business?Or what if Koekenaap Beauty Par-lour becomes a runaway successand branches out to other towns?The name Koekenaap Beauty Par-lour may sit somewhat uneasy inRondebosch.

Last week I drove behind a vehi-cle advertising a business with avery descriptive name: “Earth-quake Mobile Disco.” The namesays it all. You can almost feel thevibes you can expect should youmake use of their services.

It is also necessary to considera logo or slogan for advertising

yourbusiness.“Wewillrockyou!”willgomuchbetter with Earth-quake Mobile Discothan for example “Mu-sic for the moment.”

A shorter name alsousually works muchbetter than one that istoo long. “Flame’sPlace”ismucheasiertomarket and advertisethan “The Flame and

Are you kissable for V-day?Before puckering up for that Valentine’sDay smooch, take the Kiss-O-Meter chal-lenge and see how your breath scores.

Although bad breath affects around 90%of people at some point, most don’t realisethat they have a problem. And you can’t relyon your bestie to break the bad news – two-thirds of people said they wouldn’t tell afriend that their breath smelt and a thirdwouldn’t even tell their spouse.

Experts say that the most common causeof bad breath is inadequate oral care.

“If plaque and food debris are not physi-cally removed – by correctly brushing, floss-ing and rinsing – they break down in themouth,releasingbadodours,aswellascaus-ing irritation and disease,” says DirnaGrobbelaar, IVO health’s oral hygiene ad-visor.

While most people brush their teeth regu-larly, flossing is often overlooked; 35% ofpeople admitted they “never” floss. “Themouth is not clean until it’s clean in-be-tween,” says Grobbelaar. “If you are in

doubt, take the test – pull a length of flossbetween the teeth and smell it!”

Grobbelaar suggests that if you find floss-ingawkwardor too time-consuming, findaninterdental tool that suits your mouth andlifestyle. “There are many options thesedays, from tiny interdental brushes andfloss handles to high-tech toothpicks withbuilt-in fluoride. Look for Sunstar GUMproducts in pharmacies and dental practic-es; they have the widest range of interdentaltools in South Africa.”

“Brushing correctly twice a day, cleaningthe tongue and interdental cleaning is thekey to the fresh breath confidence thatcomes from a super-clean mouth,” saysGrobbelaar.

To get your ‘kissability’ rating take theKiss-O-Meter challenge on www.face-book.com/ivohealth. For each person tak-ing the Kiss-O-Meter challenge, SunstarGUM will donate a toothbrush to The Tooth-fairies working at the Red Cross War Memo-rial Children’s Hospital.

Flieks om jeug te inspireerMARYKE SWART

Hyhoopomdeursy films ’npositiewebood-skap aan jeug oor te dra enhulle uit bendeste hou.

KwayoLouw(20), ’n student inmaatskaplikehulpwerkaanHugenoteKollegeopWellington,is reeds sedert einde verlede jaar aktief besigom ’nverskil indiedenkwysevan jeugopKlap-muts te maak, deur naweek na naweek optre-des en aktiwiteite in die gemeenskap te hou in’n poging op jong mense van die strate af enuit bendes te hou.Een van die wyses waarop hy dit doen, is om

hulle te betrek by films wat ’n sterk boodskapuitstuur oor bendegeweld, dwelm- en alkohol-misbruik envroue-mishandeling.Met die hulpvan ’n videograaf het hy reeds twee kortfilmsverfilm oor bendegeweld in Kaapstad, en on-langs besluit om ’n soortgelyke projek opKlap-muts te doen.Louw sê nadat vyf jongmans onlangs in ben-

de-aktiwiteite in sy tuisdorp van Scotsdene,Kraaifontein, doodgeskiet is, het hy net weerbesef dit is tyd dat gemeenskappe saamstaanendie jeugpositiefbeïnvloed,deur ’npositieweboodskap aan hulle oor te dra.Louw en sy span het sowat twee weke gelede

begin skiet aan die film,Tears of a woman,wathandel oor vroue-mishandeling, maar ook as-pekte van alkohol- en dwelmmisbruik uitlig.“Die jeug (opKlapmuts) het niks omhulmee

besig te hou nie en daar is nie rolmodelle daarbuite vir hulle nie,” het hy gesê.“Vandiemannewatons (indie fliek) gebruik

is met bende-aktiwiteite besig. Maar hy weetas hy nou in die film speel, moet hy vir homgedrawantmensekyknouopnahom.Dangaanhy al die goed ook later los.”Louw, wie se passie eintlik bymusiek lê, het

aanvanklik ’n liedjie geskryf oor die bendege-weld in Kraaifontein en later besluit om dit in’nmusiekvideo teomskep.Toehysienhoegoeddie video geredigeer is, het hy die videograaf

ingespan en besluit om sy lirieke in ’n kortfilmte omskep.Dié kortfilm,Change of life, het gehandel oor

’n bendelid se bekering.Daarop het die kortfilmBack home gevolg en

gehandel oor jong bendelede wat hul bende-baas, PapaLuke, verafgod en as ’n rolmodel be-skou het.“Toe Papa Luke aan die einde van die film

sterf, het hulle besef niemand is te groot omdood te gaan nie, en hulle het tot bekering ge-kom.”Hy sê sy jongste film handel oor ’n man wat

sy vrou en twee kinders mishandel.“Symoet danbesluit of sy homgaanvergewe

of vir altyd gaan haat.”Die tweede helfte van die film wys ’n omme-

keer in die man se lewe.Louw sê dit is nog nie seker wanneer hul die

laaste tonele sal skiet nie, maar hy hoop omdit teen middel vanjaar te voltooi.Wanneer die film klaar is gaan Louw dit by

die Klapmuts-sportveld op ’n projektor aan diegemeenskapwys.Hyhoop omdaarna vandorptot dorp met die film te toer.Louw se eerste twee kortfilms is op Youtube

te sien.* A young student has dedicated himself to

make movies in Klapmuts to help the youth es-cape from gangsterism, drugs and alcohol.

Weiss flies the Stellenbosch flag at Xterra eventBradley Weiss from Stellenboschclaimed a long overdue victory in the To-talsports Xterra event held at Buffels-poort over the weekend.

Weissclaimedthevictoryinthemen’sracecompleting the 1.5 km swim, 26,5 km moun-tain bike discipline and 12 km trail run ina lightning fast combined time of 02:35:31,while Nicolette Griffioen secured the wom-en’s title in an impressive combined finish-ing time of 03:18:35.

The third individual athlete to exit the wa-ter, it was on the run discipline that Weisswas able to capitalise. “I always struggle toswimataltitude,” saidWeiss. “Mytransitionwas rusty. I entered the bike discipline be-hind Conrad Stoltz and Theo Blignaut. Con-radisstrongerthanmeonthebike.SoIdecid-ed not to overextend myself by trying to keepup. IcaughtTheoandrodewithhimforaboutten minutes before building a gap. On enter-ing transition two I was two minutes behindConrad. Building up to the event I’ve donea lot of gym work and felt really strong onmy feet. With about 1 km to go on the run,I was now only 20 seconds behind Conrad,he made a wrong turn. I called after him, buthe didn’t hear. It’s never a nice way to passsomeone. Claiming my very first Xterra vic-tory today was intense, a surreal experienceand I couldn’t be happier. My next event isXterra Philippines, which will be great prep-

aration for Xterra Grabouw”. Antoine vanHeerden came in second, while ConradStoltz,also fromStellenbosch, finishedthird.

In the women’s race, Griffioen was pleas-antly surprised by her victory on the day.“The swim was choppy, I swallowed a lot ofwater,” laughs Griffioen. “I had a good bikeride. The course included some really nicetechnical sections. It was hot out on the trailrun, with the course featuring a killer climb.I am really surprised to take the win today.The Xterra is a great challenge, but the satis-faction at the end is worth it”. Natia vanHeerden came in second, while Sylvia vanTromp finished third.

Top trail runner,ThabangMadibaofTeamSterk, was the first team athlete to cross thefinish line on the day with a well-deservedcombined finishing time of 02:36:56. Accord-ing to Madiba, he has been dying to partakein theTotalsportsXterra. “Today’seventwaschallenging. I did a bike ride yesterday forcross training and as a result my legs wereverysore today.Whenyour teammatehandsoverthebaton, it’syourresponsibility topro-tect the position or to improve it. The eventwas world class, really well marked and alotof fun”.TeamSpirit cameinsecond,whileTeam Tarantula finished third.

All finishers received a well-deserved To-talsportsXterramedal,whileXterraWarriorDeon Koegelenberg had a reason to smile ashewenthomewithabrandnewTrekBicycle.

Substitute entries for this year’s Two Oceans Marathon now availableGood news for runners who failedto secure an entry into the 2015 OldMutual Two Oceans Marathon, isthat the substitution entry windowis open between 23 January and 3March.

The substitution entry processprovides runners who can nolonger participate, the opportunityto “hand over” their entry to anoth-er runner. This is an especially val-uable tool for those runners whomissed out on entering but stillhopetomakeit tothehalfmarathonor trail run start line.

According to Carol Vosloo, gen-eral manager of the Two OceansMarathon NPC, substitution en-

tries provide an important logisti-cal function that contributes to ath-letes’ safety on race day.

“Runnerswithdrawforanumberof reasons, but it’s not just a smallmatter of handing your race num-ber over to a friend. Each runner’spersonal profile – which includesimportant medical and emergencyinformation – is linked to his/herrace number, and the substitutionprocess facilitates the linking of anewly-issued number to the newparticipant.”

Vosloo adds that not followingthe proper substitution procedurecould have life-threatening conse-quences, as emergency personnel

relyon theaccuracyof the informa-tionlinkedtoanathlete’sracenum-ber.

“Weareresponsible for thesafetyof over 27 000 runners, and urge allathletes to not only follow the prop-er procedures, but to also take re-sponsibility for the accuracy oftheir personal, emergency andmedical information.”ThesubstitutionentryprocessV The withdrawing runner must

log into the online system and clickon the “substitute” button. Avoucher number will be displayedandanemailcontainingthisvouch-er number will be dispatched.

V Thisvouchernumberplusyour

race number must be forwarded tothenewrunnerwho intends to takeyour entry.

V The withdrawing runner ON-LY gives up his/her entry. The Ra-ceTec Chip and extra purchasesmust still be collected by the run-ner.

V The original entry fee is not re-fundable.

V The new runner must take thevoucher number, log into the on-lineentry systemandclick“Substi-tution”. The withdrawing runner’soriginal race number must also becaptured.

V Once the substitution has beenvalidated, the system will prompt

the new runner for personal andmedical information (if this hasn’talready been completed).

V The cost for a substitution en-try is R80. However, other costsmay still apply, like the cost of acompulsory RaceTec Chip (if thenew runner doesn’t already haveone), a temporary licence fee, etc.

Substitution entries for the ultramarathon will only become active,once entries for the event fill up.There are currently just over 1 500entries available.

Athletes withdrawing their en-tries are encouraged to post messa-ges on the event’s social networkpages.
