WELCOME

This large pigeon is easily recognised by the red bare skin around the eye beautiful necklace of streaks around the neck and white flecks on the wing It can be confused with the Red-eyed Dove which has much less red around the eye and is smaller and darker and lacks the white spotting on the wing Speckled Pigeon was previously known as the Rock Pigeon as its natural habitat is mountain cliffs However in recent years they have decided that big buildings are just as convenient and will often nest in chimneys (their coo-ing call echoing down into the house) Sometimes the big chicks fall through into the fireplace and need to be placed back in the nest Text and image by Dr Callan Cohen research associate at UCTs FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology bird book author and director of Birding Africa tourswwwbirdingafricacom

LANGUAGE AND DIALECTS WILL ALWAYS EVOLVELanguage serves both the culture and needs of those who use it and as they change so too will the language This has always been the case throughout history Itrsquos why we no longer speak the English of Chaucer or Shakespeare or the Victorian novelists The evolution was slow and gradual so the change was hardly noticed from one generation to the next

In the past few decades though the relatively sudden appearance of new communication technologies such as mobile texting and the internet together with a steep escalation in the pace of our everyday lives has created the need for efficient shorthand dialects These dialects like ldquotxt spkrdquo are ideal to compensate for the relative clumsiness of the manual input that these electronic devices still require New dialects are forming not in local communities as before but rather around global and specialised common interests via the internet Itrsquos not surprising then that they should seem so foreign and jarring to non-speakers

Thatrsquos probably why the ldquodemise of good Englishrdquo has lately been so often spoken about and lamented particulary in our written language So many specialised dialects have sprung up and changed so quickly that we donrsquot have time to assimilate and mellow them into a common accepted currency of communication

On the other side there is always a need for a rich slow and formal longhand language to fully express our ideas and emotions to each other Perhaps we need to accept that being lsquobilingualrsquo is a part of todayrsquos fast evolving culture and technology ndash one suited for maximum meaning and the other for maximum speed and efficiency Neither is wrong or better than the other - they serve different needs and both are equally vital and valid

In my previous article I spoke about allowing occupation of a property by the buyer before transfer and I gave two examples where despite them being cash sales both transactions seemed to have caused the seller financial stressI have heard many sellers say to me that they have sold their homes for cash but on investigation it turned out that the cash had to come from some other source In one instance it had to come from an inheritance but the estate had not been wound up yet In another instance it was coming from the sale of another property but this sale was in turn subject to finance In yet another case the money was in an investment account overseas and the buyer had not yet obtained exchange approval to bring the funds into the country Remember that a sale subject to the granting of a loan by a bank is not a cash sale even if the buyer is putting

down a large depositSo when is a transaction really a cash transaction If the buyer cannot show you that the money is in his bank account in South Africa and that he can do an electronic transfer into your conveyancing attorneyrsquos trust account immediately when called upon to do so it is NOT a cash saleThe buyer must prove to you where the cash is currently held and give you an irrevocable undertaking that the funds are available for immediate transfer when required If he cannot do that then you need to obtain clarity on how he intends paying for your property and the contract must be absolutely clear on this matterSo until all conditions to which a sale agreement is subject have been met I would suggest that you do not give the buyer occupation before transfer

PHS GRADE 12 JUNE PRACTICAL ART EXAMSPinelands High School Grade 12 Visual Art students are seen here working on their June exam practical The students have to complete two artworks One is a lsquoforeshorteningrsquo piece in which the artwork is required to create the illusion of an object receding strongly into the distance or background This process usually results in a distortion of that objectrsquos natural appearance The students are required to

The PHS Grade 10s have just finished their June Visual Art exam practical They had to create an A3 pen and pencil drawing of a therianthropemystical being with an ornate border on 200g medium tooth paper They had 9 hours plus class time during the term to complete the drawing They have 18 hours to complete each major piece and have spent the term working on the concept Therianthropy is the mythological ability of humans to metamorphose into animals through shapeshifting For more examples of this excellent work see wwwphsorgzablog

COMMUNITY NEWS

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

2 Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan and sauteacute leeks and garlic until soft Add butternut and sauteacute for a few minutes Stir in the wine or tea and cover with a lid Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the butternut is cooked

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

WELCOME

This large pigeon is easily recognised by the red bare skin around the eye beautiful necklace of streaks around the neck and white flecks on the wing It can be confused with the Red-eyed Dove which has much less red around the eye and is smaller and darker and lacks the white spotting on the wing Speckled Pigeon was previously known as the Rock Pigeon as its natural habitat is mountain cliffs However in recent years they have decided that big buildings are just as convenient and will often nest in chimneys (their coo-ing call echoing down into the house) Sometimes the big chicks fall through into the fireplace and need to be placed back in the nest Text and image by Dr Callan Cohen research associate at UCTs FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology bird book author and director of Birding Africa tourswwwbirdingafricacom

LANGUAGE AND DIALECTS WILL ALWAYS EVOLVELanguage serves both the culture and needs of those who use it and as they change so too will the language This has always been the case throughout history Itrsquos why we no longer speak the English of Chaucer or Shakespeare or the Victorian novelists The evolution was slow and gradual so the change was hardly noticed from one generation to the next

In the past few decades though the relatively sudden appearance of new communication technologies such as mobile texting and the internet together with a steep escalation in the pace of our everyday lives has created the need for efficient shorthand dialects These dialects like ldquotxt spkrdquo are ideal to compensate for the relative clumsiness of the manual input that these electronic devices still require New dialects are forming not in local communities as before but rather around global and specialised common interests via the internet Itrsquos not surprising then that they should seem so foreign and jarring to non-speakers

Thatrsquos probably why the ldquodemise of good Englishrdquo has lately been so often spoken about and lamented particulary in our written language So many specialised dialects have sprung up and changed so quickly that we donrsquot have time to assimilate and mellow them into a common accepted currency of communication

On the other side there is always a need for a rich slow and formal longhand language to fully express our ideas and emotions to each other Perhaps we need to accept that being lsquobilingualrsquo is a part of todayrsquos fast evolving culture and technology ndash one suited for maximum meaning and the other for maximum speed and efficiency Neither is wrong or better than the other - they serve different needs and both are equally vital and valid

Entrance hall to large lounge dining room and open plan fully fitted kitchen 4 Bedrooms main en-suite with doors to back patio area splash pool Study and family bathroom Enclosed courtyard to en-suite teenpad Tandem carport and single garageWEB REF 327789

In my previous article I spoke about allowing occupation of a property by the buyer before transfer and I gave two examples where despite them being cash sales both transactions seemed to have caused the seller financial stressI have heard many sellers say to me that they have sold their homes for cash but on investigation it turned out that the cash had to come from some other source In one instance it had to come from an inheritance but the estate had not been wound up yet In another instance it was coming from the sale of another property but this sale was in turn subject to finance In yet another case the money was in an investment account overseas and the buyer had not yet obtained exchange approval to bring the funds into the country Remember that a sale subject to the granting of a loan by a bank is not a cash sale even if the buyer is putting

down a large depositSo when is a transaction really a cash transaction If the buyer cannot show you that the money is in his bank account in South Africa and that he can do an electronic transfer into your conveyancing attorneyrsquos trust account immediately when called upon to do so it is NOT a cash saleThe buyer must prove to you where the cash is currently held and give you an irrevocable undertaking that the funds are available for immediate transfer when required If he cannot do that then you need to obtain clarity on how he intends paying for your property and the contract must be absolutely clear on this matterSo until all conditions to which a sale agreement is subject have been met I would suggest that you do not give the buyer occupation before transfer

We are urgently looking for properties for many qualified buyers and tenants Call us on 021 531 7507 for a free market estimate of your home

PHS GRADE 12 JUNE PRACTICAL ART EXAMSPinelands High School Grade 12 Visual Art students are seen here working on their June exam practical The students have to complete two artworks One is a lsquoforeshorteningrsquo piece in which the artwork is required to create the illusion of an object receding strongly into the distance or background This process usually results in a distortion of that objectrsquos natural appearance The students are required to

The PHS Grade 10s have just finished their June Visual Art exam practical They had to create an A3 pen and pencil drawing of a therianthropemystical being with an ornate border on 200g medium tooth paper They had 9 hours plus class time during the term to complete the drawing They have 18 hours to complete each major piece and have spent the term working on the concept Therianthropy is the mythological ability of humans to metamorphose into animals through shapeshifting For more examples of this excellent work see wwwphsorgzablog

the emotional state of that which is being depicted The second piece is inspired by a list of band titles which are used as a point of departure for their own original artwork independent of any association with the original source other than the images that those titles conjure up See examples of completed pieces on page 16 of this edition of the Muse

COMMUNITY NEWS

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

Nelson Mandela said ldquo There can be no keener revelation of a societyrsquos soul than the way it treats its children Children are our greatest treasure They are our futurerdquo

The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) opened its doors on Mandela Day to volunteers who streamed in to groom the horses plait their manes and feed them apples and carrots Sasko provided a pancake kitchen and volunteers and carties were treated to sweet delights while those handy with a paint brush repainted the carts There is a close association between the CHPA and the City who provide law enforcement officers to assist the CHPA in upholding the animal protection bylaws Alderman JP Smith from the City was given a ride on a cart driven by Abduraghiem Cassiem and his horse TriggerIsmaeel Ockards with his sons Igshaan and Nasrodien were there with Thunder looking very smart in the family heirloom of leather tack and brass bells Horses and carts have been in the family for three generations and provide a way to make a living This family is extremely grateful to the CHPA for their support for food medical facilities and farrier services The CHPA also provides training to the Cart Horse drivers who are not allowed to operate without their registration plates and licences If you see a horse in need call 082 6599 599 or 021 535 3435

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

WELCOME

This large pigeon is easily recognised by the red bare skin around the eye beautiful necklace of streaks around the neck and white flecks on the wing It can be confused with the Red-eyed Dove which has much less red around the eye and is smaller and darker and lacks the white spotting on the wing Speckled Pigeon was previously known as the Rock Pigeon as its natural habitat is mountain cliffs However in recent years they have decided that big buildings are just as convenient and will often nest in chimneys (their coo-ing call echoing down into the house) Sometimes the big chicks fall through into the fireplace and need to be placed back in the nest Text and image by Dr Callan Cohen research associate at UCTs FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology bird book author and director of Birding Africa tourswwwbirdingafricacom

LANGUAGE AND DIALECTS WILL ALWAYS EVOLVELanguage serves both the culture and needs of those who use it and as they change so too will the language This has always been the case throughout history Itrsquos why we no longer speak the English of Chaucer or Shakespeare or the Victorian novelists The evolution was slow and gradual so the change was hardly noticed from one generation to the next

In the past few decades though the relatively sudden appearance of new communication technologies such as mobile texting and the internet together with a steep escalation in the pace of our everyday lives has created the need for efficient shorthand dialects These dialects like ldquotxt spkrdquo are ideal to compensate for the relative clumsiness of the manual input that these electronic devices still require New dialects are forming not in local communities as before but rather around global and specialised common interests via the internet Itrsquos not surprising then that they should seem so foreign and jarring to non-speakers

Thatrsquos probably why the ldquodemise of good Englishrdquo has lately been so often spoken about and lamented particulary in our written language So many specialised dialects have sprung up and changed so quickly that we donrsquot have time to assimilate and mellow them into a common accepted currency of communication

On the other side there is always a need for a rich slow and formal longhand language to fully express our ideas and emotions to each other Perhaps we need to accept that being lsquobilingualrsquo is a part of todayrsquos fast evolving culture and technology ndash one suited for maximum meaning and the other for maximum speed and efficiency Neither is wrong or better than the other - they serve different needs and both are equally vital and valid

In my previous article I spoke about allowing occupation of a property by the buyer before transfer and I gave two examples where despite them being cash sales both transactions seemed to have caused the seller financial stressI have heard many sellers say to me that they have sold their homes for cash but on investigation it turned out that the cash had to come from some other source In one instance it had to come from an inheritance but the estate had not been wound up yet In another instance it was coming from the sale of another property but this sale was in turn subject to finance In yet another case the money was in an investment account overseas and the buyer had not yet obtained exchange approval to bring the funds into the country Remember that a sale subject to the granting of a loan by a bank is not a cash sale even if the buyer is putting

down a large depositSo when is a transaction really a cash transaction If the buyer cannot show you that the money is in his bank account in South Africa and that he can do an electronic transfer into your conveyancing attorneyrsquos trust account immediately when called upon to do so it is NOT a cash saleThe buyer must prove to you where the cash is currently held and give you an irrevocable undertaking that the funds are available for immediate transfer when required If he cannot do that then you need to obtain clarity on how he intends paying for your property and the contract must be absolutely clear on this matterSo until all conditions to which a sale agreement is subject have been met I would suggest that you do not give the buyer occupation before transfer

PHS GRADE 12 JUNE PRACTICAL ART EXAMSPinelands High School Grade 12 Visual Art students are seen here working on their June exam practical The students have to complete two artworks One is a lsquoforeshorteningrsquo piece in which the artwork is required to create the illusion of an object receding strongly into the distance or background This process usually results in a distortion of that objectrsquos natural appearance The students are required to

The PHS Grade 10s have just finished their June Visual Art exam practical They had to create an A3 pen and pencil drawing of a therianthropemystical being with an ornate border on 200g medium tooth paper They had 9 hours plus class time during the term to complete the drawing They have 18 hours to complete each major piece and have spent the term working on the concept Therianthropy is the mythological ability of humans to metamorphose into animals through shapeshifting For more examples of this excellent work see wwwphsorgzablog

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

When is a cash salereally a cash sale

Entrance hall to large lounge dining room and open plan fully fitted kitchen 4 Bedrooms main en-suite with doors to back patio area splash pool Study and family bathroom Enclosed courtyard to en-suite teenpad Tandem carport and single garageWEB REF 327789

In my previous article I spoke about allowing occupation of a property by the buyer before transfer and I gave two examples where despite them being cash sales both transactions seemed to have caused the seller financial stressI have heard many sellers say to me that they have sold their homes for cash but on investigation it turned out that the cash had to come from some other source In one instance it had to come from an inheritance but the estate had not been wound up yet In another instance it was coming from the sale of another property but this sale was in turn subject to finance In yet another case the money was in an investment account overseas and the buyer had not yet obtained exchange approval to bring the funds into the country Remember that a sale subject to the granting of a loan by a bank is not a cash sale even if the buyer is putting

down a large depositSo when is a transaction really a cash transaction If the buyer cannot show you that the money is in his bank account in South Africa and that he can do an electronic transfer into your conveyancing attorneyrsquos trust account immediately when called upon to do so it is NOT a cash saleThe buyer must prove to you where the cash is currently held and give you an irrevocable undertaking that the funds are available for immediate transfer when required If he cannot do that then you need to obtain clarity on how he intends paying for your property and the contract must be absolutely clear on this matterSo until all conditions to which a sale agreement is subject have been met I would suggest that you do not give the buyer occupation before transfer

COMMUNITY NEWS

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

In my previous article I spoke about allowing occupation of a property by the buyer before transfer and I gave two examples where despite them being cash sales both transactions seemed to have caused the seller financial stressI have heard many sellers say to me that they have sold their homes for cash but on investigation it turned out that the cash had to come from some other source In one instance it had to come from an inheritance but the estate had not been wound up yet In another instance it was coming from the sale of another property but this sale was in turn subject to finance In yet another case the money was in an investment account overseas and the buyer had not yet obtained exchange approval to bring the funds into the country Remember that a sale subject to the granting of a loan by a bank is not a cash sale even if the buyer is putting

down a large depositSo when is a transaction really a cash transaction If the buyer cannot show you that the money is in his bank account in South Africa and that he can do an electronic transfer into your conveyancing attorneyrsquos trust account immediately when called upon to do so it is NOT a cash saleThe buyer must prove to you where the cash is currently held and give you an irrevocable undertaking that the funds are available for immediate transfer when required If he cannot do that then you need to obtain clarity on how he intends paying for your property and the contract must be absolutely clear on this matterSo until all conditions to which a sale agreement is subject have been met I would suggest that you do not give the buyer occupation before transfer

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

Fortunately the rains spared us and we managed all outdoor activities without any disruptions There was also a group of children showcasing their talents in music and danceVolunteers from Takealot and Reeds helped with handing out refreshments and party packs while others participated in games The Army from Youngsfield station sent a big team to clean the site in honour of our Nelson Mandela legacy A team of interns from the Provincial Treasury also participated in the event Visitors also

brought donations in kind for the kids and for our second hand shopThe Saturday event started on a slow note but it stretched right till late afternoon This second day was meant for teenagers and parents whereby parents witnessed teenagers in various sport activities such as soccer and netballWe want to express our appreciation for all the organizations individuals and families who supported this event and our beneficiaries for showcasing our work

MANDELA DAY

Early Childhood Development (ECD) has been globally recognised as a key factor in promoting successful sustainable cognitive development assisting each child to reach their highest potential Pinelands-based Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network Organisation recognises the importance of this and takes an holistic approach to Early Childhood Development where all values behaviours and skills become entrenchedMhani Gingirsquos social responsibility initiatives and projects support four early learning centres which they have adopted in Nyanga and Philippi East providing support with fund-raising income-generation and assistance with DSD compliance training and guidance on gardening and good nutrition Thanks to a generous donation from Old Mutualrsquos Green Hands Mhani Gingi in partnership with Renee Lighton of LightOn Education offered a series of 4 training workshops to Mhani Gingirsquos adopted Early Learning centres and to all the educators at Early Learning Centres in the Nyanga and Philippi East surround 25 lovely ladies attended the workshops representing 15 ECDrsquos from the area These workshops were held at Beautiful Gate where the magnificent facilities were kindly offered by director Vaughan Stannard also a

Pinelands residentRenee Lightonrsquos unique approach of using recyclable items to provide effective quality early learning embraces Mhani Gingirsquos mantra ldquoUse what you have to attract what you needrdquo What an inspiration these fun-filled workshops were and how ingenious the LightOn Education approach is in cleverly using what one would usually recycle to provide early learning equipment We invite all Pinelands residents to consider collecting ice cream tubs insides of toilet rolls egg boxes polystyrene containers lids left over wool beer box lids cereal boxes and A4 paper ready for recycling that is printed only on one side for use in our early learning centres Contact us if you would like to make a difference and contributeMhani Gingi assisted the Early Learning Centres with their own vegetable garden providing the seedlings from its Nursery behind TSiBA in Pinelands and began the initiative on Mandela DayOn a typical Cape Town winterrsquos day ndash wet cold windy and rainy ndash we set about cleaning clearing and planting the vegetable garden Many eager young children had to watch from the warmth

The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) opened its doors on Mandela Day to volunteers who streamed in to groom the horses plait their manes and feed them apples and carrots Sasko provided a pancake kitchen and volunteers and carties were treated to sweet delights while those handy with a paint brush repainted the carts There is a close association between the CHPA and the City who provide law enforcement officers to assist the CHPA in upholding the animal protection bylaws Alderman JP Smith from the City was given a ride on a cart driven by Abduraghiem Cassiem and his horse TriggerIsmaeel Ockards with his sons Igshaan and Nasrodien were there with Thunder looking very smart in the family heirloom of leather tack and brass bells Horses and carts have been in the family for three generations and provide a way to make a living This family is extremely grateful to the CHPA for their support for food medical facilities and farrier services The CHPA also provides training to the Cart Horse drivers who are not allowed to operate without their registration plates and licences If you see a horse in need call 082 6599 599 or 021 535 3435

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

Having tea with Elaine Jack and her rescue dog Moppet turned into a shopping experience as I sorted through the beautiful patchwork dog blankets ndash patch mats made to raise funds for PUPP a local organisation caring for the welfare of animals For more than 11 years Elaine has supported this cause in an effort to raise funds for sterilisation to prevent more unwanted litters So with enthusiasm Elaine contacted suppliers who have over the years come to know her well When interior decorators no longer have a use for fabric sample books they pass them on to Elaine who uses every bit of material to produce the classy patch mats ndash some examples are seen in the picture above Not one piece of the fabric books goes to waste ndash the screws and cardboard go for recycling and the extra ends of the fabric go towards the filling for strong dog beds made from blockout fabric which stands up to any dog wear and tear tactics Elaine has never had to purchase the materials required for her mission as over the years friends and other members of the community have donated fabric thread and tape to fulfil the project The dog beds and blankets along with knitted dog jackets are sold at a very reasonable cost at dog shows the Somerset West Craft Market and the local Cape Province Dog Club Every cent goes towards PUPP specifically for sterilisation Moppet is seen wearing a dog jacket knitted by Elaine If you would like to knit dog jackets for charity please contact the Muse at 021 531 3324

SCAN LEA SCHOOL CORRECTIONIn the July 2014 edition of the Muse we published two photographs which we thought were both of Scan Lea School The house on the left is actually the neighbours house and not the school In response to the article former pupil Patty Sides has written to us to explain the origin of Lea in the school name Miss Anderson a school founder added Lea to the name because it refers to a field and that is what she saw when she looked out of the back window of the house Below is a photograph of the pupils at Scanlea School in about 1939 with Patty Sides front row far left

The National Credit Act (NCA) does not normally affect property sales since immovable property is usually paid for in cash or financed by banks However if you sell to someone who cannot get a bond then the NCA will probably apply to the transaction if the purchase price is paid in instalments Parties to a sale of immovable property can agree to deferred payment of the purchase price The purchaser then pays off the amount in instalments and the seller charges interest on the outstanding amount from time to timeThe NCA will not apply if you sell to a family member or to a juristic person ndash eg a company or a trust with an annual income over one million Rand pa If the amount loaned is above R499 99999 then the lender also has to register as a credit provider Failing to comply with the CPA would bring a host of onerous obligations to the sale Formerly when a property was sold on instalments the sale could be registered and was protected under the Alienation of Lands Act While this act still applies one now also has to comply with the NCAUnless there are overwhelming reasons the general consensus is that it is foolhardy to enter into an INSTALMENT SALE AGREEMENT unless you are a property developer or in the business of lending money

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

My love affair with endurance sports started in 2009 when I set my heart on completing a full Ironman Having achieved this in 2011 the Comrades Marathon caught my eye After completing part-time studies in 2013 I decided to enter Ironman the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon in 2014 mdash what was I thinking Coming from a swimming background I had never enjoyed running and yet I was to tackle the ultimate human running race Standing at the start-line was exciting and after the national anthem and Chariots of Fire I was charged with emotion My race was with filled the pleasure of the actual participation and the pain of tired legs aching muscles and an uncooperative

As a child I always kept fit for hockey by running the roads of Natal with my Jack Russell and ever since I can remember my dream was to complete the ultimate race the ComradesDuring varsity I ran half marathons On arriving in Cape Town I joined Varsity Old Boys running club (K-Way VOB) They take you on incredible runs every Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the green-belts and vineyards of the Southern Suburbs You suddenly realise how privileged you are to not only be able to run but being able to run in the most beautiful of places Two years ago after running 9 Two Oceans half marathons I decided it was time to train for the big one and was able to qualify for the 2012 Two Oceans marathon This year I completed my second Two Oceans marathon and felt confident enough to eagerly accept a late entry to Comrades

body The crowd support was really amazing on the route as they offered words of encouragement food and drink but what struck a chord with me was the camaraderie among the runners I experienced complete strangers helping one another across the finish line sharing their life stories and their reasons for completing the race A gentleman who ran with me for a while was completing the race in memory of his wife who had died of cancer the previous year It was a truly humbling experienceIf you are of entering the Comrades Marathon donrsquot hesitate with adequate preparation and training anything is possible By Valentine Nefdt teacher at PNPS

Wow What a phenomenal adventure a day and journey I will never forget My dream come true Every physical pain was diminished with the thought I am actually running Comrades The crowds and support on the road is actually indescribable It is a day of emotion of camaraderie of shear guts and the ultimate glory of running into Durban with a stadium packed to the brim with shouting screaming supporters Crossing the finish line and completing the journey was incredibly emotional especially knowing friends and loved ones were waiting at the finish line The distance and pain fades quickly and all you remember is the glory and journey of the day Will I be back mdash definitely Chase your dreams because with hard work determination and passion dreams are possible By Nadine Nicol teacher at PNPS

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

PINELANDERS

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

The Cape Town Rifles (Dukes) and Makro Stores combined forces to commemorate Mandela Day on 18 July 2014 at the Red Cross War Memorial Childrenrsquos Hospital The initiative is part of the Regimentrsquos ongoing social responsibility programme with the hospital they had previously donated several boxes of toys and other useful items to the Friends of the Childrenrsquos Hospital Association (FOCHA) for Youth Day This time the soldiers delivered several huge containers of nourishing meat and vegetable soup and prepared countless plates of sandwiches Makro supplied fresh popcorn and cold drinks as well as a jumping castle which was popular with the little ones Makro staff members also donated a large pile of toys to FOCHA The meal and the refreshments were enjoyed by several hundred people mainly family members whose children were patients receiving treatment at the hospital Image and text by Regine Lord

brought donations in kind for the kids and for our second hand shopThe Saturday event started on a slow note but it stretched right till late afternoon This second day was meant for teenagers and parents whereby parents witnessed teenagers in various sport activities such as soccer and netballWe want to express our appreciation for all the organizations individuals and families who supported this event and our beneficiaries for showcasing our work

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

PETS AS THERAPYAll animal lovers will recognise the feeling of comfort given by a pet in welcoming you home jumping with excitement when a walk is in the pipeline or when dinner time is near Pets as Therapy (PAT)was founded in South Africa in 1991 and is all about enriching lives through animal companionship A dog with a suitable temperament healthy and with up to date innoculations is assessed with their owners to see if they make a good team for visiting people in hospitals frail care facilities special needs schools and retirement villages Research and experience has shown that the interaction between people and pets is therapeutic physically emotionally psychologically and socially

Jessie Blackshaw gives tribute to her faithful companion Monty and shares the rewarding time they had together with PAT When Monty was six I saw that Charmaine French was coming to speak about Pets As Therapy at the Church Seniors tea As I listened to her I also watched Glynis du Toit and her dog walking around greeting people The talk really interested me and in June 2007 Monty with his yellow bandana around his neck visited the Frail Care at Rusoord in Plumstead They loved seeing Monty and told many stories of how they had to give their dogs away when they moved in Every Tuesday afternoon when I took his yellow bandana from the cupboard Monty would get very excited and wag his tail furiously We were able to visit for nearly seven years and now Monty

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

PINELANDERS

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

PINELANDERS

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

Fortunately the rains spared us and we managed all outdoor activities without any disruptions There was also a group of children showcasing their talents in music and danceVolunteers from Takealot and Reeds helped with handing out refreshments and party packs while others participated in games The Army from Youngsfield station sent a big team to clean the site in honour of our Nelson Mandela legacy A team of interns from the Provincial Treasury also participated in the event Visitors also

brought donations in kind for the kids and for our second hand shopThe Saturday event started on a slow note but it stretched right till late afternoon This second day was meant for teenagers and parents whereby parents witnessed teenagers in various sport activities such as soccer and netballWe want to express our appreciation for all the organizations individuals and families who supported this event and our beneficiaries for showcasing our work

MANDELA DAY

Early Childhood Development (ECD) has been globally recognised as a key factor in promoting successful sustainable cognitive development assisting each child to reach their highest potential Pinelands-based Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network Organisation recognises the importance of this and takes an holistic approach to Early Childhood Development where all values behaviours and skills become entrenchedMhani Gingirsquos social responsibility initiatives and projects support four early learning centres which they have adopted in Nyanga and Philippi East providing support with fund-raising income-generation and assistance with DSD compliance training and guidance on gardening and good nutrition Thanks to a generous donation from Old Mutualrsquos Green Hands Mhani Gingi in partnership with Renee Lighton of LightOn Education offered a series of 4 training workshops to Mhani Gingirsquos adopted Early Learning centres and to all the educators at Early Learning Centres in the Nyanga and Philippi East surround 25 lovely ladies attended the workshops representing 15 ECDrsquos from the area These workshops were held at Beautiful Gate where the magnificent facilities were kindly offered by director Vaughan Stannard also a

Pinelands residentRenee Lightonrsquos unique approach of using recyclable items to provide effective quality early learning embraces Mhani Gingirsquos mantra ldquoUse what you have to attract what you needrdquo What an inspiration these fun-filled workshops were and how ingenious the LightOn Education approach is in cleverly using what one would usually recycle to provide early learning equipment We invite all Pinelands residents to consider collecting ice cream tubs insides of toilet rolls egg boxes polystyrene containers lids left over wool beer box lids cereal boxes and A4 paper ready for recycling that is printed only on one side for use in our early learning centres Contact us if you would like to make a difference and contributeMhani Gingi assisted the Early Learning Centres with their own vegetable garden providing the seedlings from its Nursery behind TSiBA in Pinelands and began the initiative on Mandela DayOn a typical Cape Town winterrsquos day ndash wet cold windy and rainy ndash we set about cleaning clearing and planting the vegetable garden Many eager young children had to watch from the warmth

of their Early Learning Centre providing enthusiastic support We look forward to sharing that first pot of soup with the educators and children of Ivy Nyovane in Nyanga and whilst the vegetables are growing the children can enjoy the layout of the garden which has been designed in different shapes and colours per veggie type Children learn through play and through their senses and we know this garden will provide them with exciting ldquolearningrdquoFor more information or if you would like to collect recyclable items or visit the nursery see wwwmhanigingicom or call 021 531 8577 On fun ways to learn through play see wwwreneelightoncoza

Nelson Mandela said ldquo There can be no keener revelation of a societyrsquos soul than the way it treats its children Children are our greatest treasure They are our futurerdquo

The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) opened its doors on Mandela Day to volunteers who streamed in to groom the horses plait their manes and feed them apples and carrots Sasko provided a pancake kitchen and volunteers and carties were treated to sweet delights while those handy with a paint brush repainted the carts There is a close association between the CHPA and the City who provide law enforcement officers to assist the CHPA in upholding the animal protection bylaws Alderman JP Smith from the City was given a ride on a cart driven by Abduraghiem Cassiem and his horse TriggerIsmaeel Ockards with his sons Igshaan and Nasrodien were there with Thunder looking very smart in the family heirloom of leather tack and brass bells Horses and carts have been in the family for three generations and provide a way to make a living This family is extremely grateful to the CHPA for their support for food medical facilities and farrier services The CHPA also provides training to the Cart Horse drivers who are not allowed to operate without their registration plates and licences If you see a horse in need call 082 6599 599 or 021 535 3435

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

In some cases life insurance products have been given a bad rap An upshot of an industry plagued by over-zealous and perversely incentivised brokers flogging and churning policies despite the absence of proven financial need the words ldquolife policyrdquo are devoid of deference despite the significant role that appropriate risk cover can play in onersquos overall financial portfolio

SECURING YOUR ASSETSFor a typical family with a bonded home it makes perfect sense to have sufficient life cover to settle the home loan should one of the familyrsquos breadwinners pass away For the surviving spouse being able to pay off the bond will provide enormous financial respite for a family left to survive on a single income or possibly no income at all While a person is in the wealth-accumulation phase (typically from age 25 to 55 years) life insurance can be used to make financial provision for onersquos spouse and children in the absence of other investments or realisable assets A qualified financial planner will be able to assess your spousersquos needs taking factors such as life expectancy inflation living standards health status and special dependents into account Once a capital lumpsum has been calculated your financial planner will source appropriate cover for your specific needs

PROTECTING YOUR INCOMEWhile you are working your greatest asset is your ability to generate an income Your income not only secures your existing standard of living but is most likely the primary source of your retirement funding If your ability to earn is compromised at any stage during your wealth-accumulation phase both your existing lifestyle and your retirement goals may be severely affected An income protection benefit is an insurance-based product designed to protect your income should you become permanently or temporarily disabled In its simplest form an income protector will pay the insured between 75 and 100 of their

monthly income until age 65 years More intricately the fullness of cover provided by these products depends on a multitude of factors including the occupation of the insured and the nature and extent of the illness or injury The definition of lsquodisabilityrsquo in the policy contract together with seemingly endless legalese literature which if not understood can result in severe disappointment and frustration at the claims stage

FINANCIAL BUFFER IN HARD TIMESWhile you are still building your wealth servicing a home loan and paying off vehicles finding a capital lump sum to help cover the associated costs of disease or disability might be somewhat difficult Even a comprehensive medical aid can leave one with shortfalls and unfunded medical expenses In determining the need for a severe illness benefit your financial planner should perform an analysis of your existing medical aid gap cover and disability benefits together with your current investment portfolio When navigating the realm of risk cover we recommend the following advice

1 Ensure that your financial planner performs an in-depth financial needs analysis which takes into account all aspects of your financial portfolio before recommending financial solutions to you

2 Be cautious of advisors who earn commission and are incentivised on product sales Seek out qualified fee-based financial planners who sell advice and not products

3 Review your risk cover portfolio every time your personal circumstances change to ensure that your cover is both relevant and cost-effective

Structuring your risk cover portfolio requires ongoing expert analysis to help you achieve the fine balance between protecting your income and assets on the one hand whilst growing your long-term wealth on the other

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

2 Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan and sauteacute leeks and garlic until soft Add butternut and sauteacute for a few minutes Stir in the wine or tea and cover with a lid Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the butternut is cooked

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

PINELANDERS

Gareth CottenBorn in Pinelands Gareth is well versed with the cosmopolitan nature of the suburb and also with the large number of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs earning a living outside the corporate world As an energetic entrepreneur himself he has experience with multiple businesses and is motivated to inspire and support those bitten by the entrepreneurial bug

STARTED YOUNGMultilingual (six languages) and highly qualified Gareth had his first business selling black bags at 12 and still runs Chariot Limousines which he started at 19 As well as a B Comm from UCT Honours in Taxation and a legal diploma he has certificates in Hospitality Management ImportExport Management and Public Relations He also trained as a life coach Gareth is a course instructor for GetSmarter ndash an online university working with UCT He lectures in Financial Sales and Small Business Management as well as Bookkeeping and Payroll and Tax Administration His latest business is the HangTime indoor climbing gym in Ndabeni a concept that he would like to take nationally HOW DID YOU GET INTO CLIMBINGThis is the part where I blush and say it was all for a girl I started dating my girlfriend DJ last year and climbing is important to her I promised to give it a try and from the very first time on a wall the bug had well and truly bitten We should have called the climbing gym the Taj Mahal as some say I built it for my better halfADVICE FOR HEALTHY LIVINGGareth believes that a regular break from work provides an effective way of coping with responsibilities and stress He aims for a getaway every 8 weeks even if it is just a weekend away His favourite getaway spots are Gordons Bay Hermanus and Pinnacle Point Relaxation begins with turning phones off and then plenty of reading a bit of writing some running (exercise is vital physical outlet for stress) and good food and wine as well as a good dose of sea-staring and daydreaming

JUGGLING TRAVEL AND WORKIve been very fortunate to travel all over the world ndash mostly for pleasure but of late a little more often for business as well Strangely enough my favourite countries all seem to start with S South Africa of course but then also Singapore (for the sheer innovation and infusion of eastern culture) Sweden (for how efficiently and perfectly everything works) and Switzerland (for their national drive to succeed while still staying independent and also for the sheer breath-taking beauty of their landscape)I live very strictly by the 8020 rule ndash in that you can get 80 of the results from just 20 of the effort I then put my time and effort into the 20 that yields the biggest results and pass or delegate the rest onto others With well chosen staff and business partners and strong systems in place my businesses basically run themselves This allows me to operate from pretty much anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet and some form of phone Ive recently adopted the approach of taking a sabbatical every year and living for a while in another country Ive done this in Sweden and Los Angeles and am now eyeing out Spain and South AmericaFAMILY LIFE IN PINELANDSOur family has been in Pinelands for just over 30 years My Dad chose Pinelands especially because of the bonus of plenty of sunshine My younger sister is very artistic and has recently also tapped into her communication skills by going into counselling My brother is extremely musical and technical in nature and is becoming a very accomplished producer

Our skill sets complement each other perfectly One of the main things Ive always loved about Pinelands is how central it is ndash stuck in the golden triangle between the N1 N2 and M5 This has always served us very well in my limo business Ive also been noticing how many people are actively aiming at moving to Pinelands across the age bands The joke used to be that it was for newlyndashweds and nearlyndashdeads but Im really seeing it becoming a very aspirational suburb for manyADVICE FOR WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURSWhile there are a million things I could say to aspirant entrepreneurs I will concentrate on two Firstly donrsquot try and get your product or service perfect before launching ndash or you will never actually pull the trigger Rather get it good enough and then just launch This way yoursquoll find out sooner rather than later if yoursquore actually onto something or not You can then tweak and adjust as you go along As Richard Branson likes to say Ready Fire AimWhen your business is up and running dont get wound up in the day-to-day admin of your enterprise Carve out time every day or every week for analysing your business Grow it by applying your mind to marketing sales and strategy This way yoursquoll build a real business and not just another job for yourselfPLANS FOR THE FUTUREMy greatest passions are entrepreneurship and education Ill be starting a business incubator and accelerator which will be combined with an entrepreneurship school aimed at both school kids and adults providing skills to make entrepreneurship a viable career path

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

Fortunately the rains spared us and we managed all outdoor activities without any disruptions There was also a group of children showcasing their talents in music and danceVolunteers from Takealot and Reeds helped with handing out refreshments and party packs while others participated in games The Army from Youngsfield station sent a big team to clean the site in honour of our Nelson Mandela legacy A team of interns from the Provincial Treasury also participated in the event Visitors also

brought donations in kind for the kids and for our second hand shopThe Saturday event started on a slow note but it stretched right till late afternoon This second day was meant for teenagers and parents whereby parents witnessed teenagers in various sport activities such as soccer and netballWe want to express our appreciation for all the organizations individuals and families who supported this event and our beneficiaries for showcasing our work

MANDELA DAY

Early Childhood Development (ECD) has been globally recognised as a key factor in promoting successful sustainable cognitive development assisting each child to reach their highest potential Pinelands-based Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network Organisation recognises the importance of this and takes an holistic approach to Early Childhood Development where all values behaviours and skills become entrenchedMhani Gingirsquos social responsibility initiatives and projects support four early learning centres which they have adopted in Nyanga and Philippi East providing support with fund-raising income-generation and assistance with DSD compliance training and guidance on gardening and good nutrition Thanks to a generous donation from Old Mutualrsquos Green Hands Mhani Gingi in partnership with Renee Lighton of LightOn Education offered a series of 4 training workshops to Mhani Gingirsquos adopted Early Learning centres and to all the educators at Early Learning Centres in the Nyanga and Philippi East surround 25 lovely ladies attended the workshops representing 15 ECDrsquos from the area These workshops were held at Beautiful Gate where the magnificent facilities were kindly offered by director Vaughan Stannard also a

Pinelands residentRenee Lightonrsquos unique approach of using recyclable items to provide effective quality early learning embraces Mhani Gingirsquos mantra ldquoUse what you have to attract what you needrdquo What an inspiration these fun-filled workshops were and how ingenious the LightOn Education approach is in cleverly using what one would usually recycle to provide early learning equipment We invite all Pinelands residents to consider collecting ice cream tubs insides of toilet rolls egg boxes polystyrene containers lids left over wool beer box lids cereal boxes and A4 paper ready for recycling that is printed only on one side for use in our early learning centres Contact us if you would like to make a difference and contributeMhani Gingi assisted the Early Learning Centres with their own vegetable garden providing the seedlings from its Nursery behind TSiBA in Pinelands and began the initiative on Mandela DayOn a typical Cape Town winterrsquos day ndash wet cold windy and rainy ndash we set about cleaning clearing and planting the vegetable garden Many eager young children had to watch from the warmth

The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) opened its doors on Mandela Day to volunteers who streamed in to groom the horses plait their manes and feed them apples and carrots Sasko provided a pancake kitchen and volunteers and carties were treated to sweet delights while those handy with a paint brush repainted the carts There is a close association between the CHPA and the City who provide law enforcement officers to assist the CHPA in upholding the animal protection bylaws Alderman JP Smith from the City was given a ride on a cart driven by Abduraghiem Cassiem and his horse TriggerIsmaeel Ockards with his sons Igshaan and Nasrodien were there with Thunder looking very smart in the family heirloom of leather tack and brass bells Horses and carts have been in the family for three generations and provide a way to make a living This family is extremely grateful to the CHPA for their support for food medical facilities and farrier services The CHPA also provides training to the Cart Horse drivers who are not allowed to operate without their registration plates and licences If you see a horse in need call 082 6599 599 or 021 535 3435

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

A GREAT START AT YSTERPLAATIn 2012 Jason was part of a group of 30 Grade 10s who on the back of their their Maths and Science abilities were chosen to join the Young Falcon Aviation Academy at Ysterplaat The course held on alternate Saturday mornings included the theory of flying and training on flying simulators Jason has clocked up 900 flying hours on the simulator and learns a great deal watching air-crash investigations A highlight of his training at Ysterplaat included a flight to the Waterkloof Airbase in a C130 Hercules to attend a course encompassing a week in the life of an air-force pilot After graduating top of his class in 2013 Jason was rewarded with a flight in a L39 fighter jet which flew over Robben Island and did some aerobatics Jason was even given the controls for a while

CAPE GLIDING CLUB AT WORCESTERIn 2013 Jason and four others from the Young Falcon Aviation Academy joined the Worcester Gliding Club Jason recommends gliding as an affordable way of learning the basics of flying It is a non-powered means of flying also known as soaring (see Muse Mike Pascoe Sept 2012) Jason believes that pilot Captain Sullenberger who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson River

after a bird strike shut down the engines was better equipped for the emergency because he was also a glider pilot With a glide ratio of 151 a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres from a cruising altitude of 10000 metres (refwiki)

PLANS FOR THE FUTUREJason would like to study AeronauticalMechanical Engineering and complete his PPL (Private Pilots Licence) He looks forward to the day when he can become an airline pilot He would like to do his training at Morning Star Flight Academy just outside Cape Town or through the SAA cadet pilot programme He has applied for scholarships and is currently going through the interview processes

UNTIL THENJason now has approximately 30 hours gliding experience minus all of which he has paid for himself He started flying solo in December 2013 and currently flies the Club Single Seater (Grob102 Single Astir) Last year he was pupil of the year winning the The Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil See excerpt in blue by Mike Pascoe glider instructor at the Cape Gliding Club

CAN ANYONE BE A PILOTAviation is a complex and interesting field which develops your personality and

provides instruction in many aspects of life so if you feel you can cope with the mathematical intricacies and the stress required in making quick decisions then the rest should fall into place as a wonderful experience Interestingly in gliding one can go solo at 14 get your licence at 16 and then obtain a Private Pilot Licence at 17 years of age

JasonAdriaanHis passion for flying was ignited in 2011 when he went to an airshow at Ysterplaat After becoming a cadet in the highly recognised Young Falcon Aviation Academy it was a natural step to work towards his gliding licence at the Cape Gliding Club in Worcester In his matric year at Pinelands High School Jason juggles 9 subjects as well as debating and playing in the senior marimba band ndash all the while planning carefully for the right weather for his next training flight

The Cape Gliding Club has been privileged to sponsor groups of Young Falcons to allow them to experience the joy and fun of a glider flight As a result of his enthusiasm and the time he had spent flying simulators Jason was ready for his first solo after 32 flights in a glider Since then Jason has completed the advanced exercises and written the examinations for his Glider Pilots License (GPL) which he has nearly completed In addition Jason has made a large contribution to the club as Duty Pilot keeping the flight log and helping the others get flying All this culminated in Jason being awarded the Best Pupil for the year This award is given to the pupil who not only makes excellent and rapid progress in flying but who is in addition conspicuous by hisher efforts to work on behalf of the club (wwwcgcorgza)

In 2013 Jason won the Gerry Matchett Award for Best Pupil at the Cape Gliding Club

The Cape Town Rifles (Dukes) and Makro Stores combined forces to commemorate Mandela Day on 18 July 2014 at the Red Cross War Memorial Childrenrsquos Hospital The initiative is part of the Regimentrsquos ongoing social responsibility programme with the hospital they had previously donated several boxes of toys and other useful items to the Friends of the Childrenrsquos Hospital Association (FOCHA) for Youth Day This time the soldiers delivered several huge containers of nourishing meat and vegetable soup and prepared countless plates of sandwiches Makro supplied fresh popcorn and cold drinks as well as a jumping castle which was popular with the little ones Makro staff members also donated a large pile of toys to FOCHA The meal and the refreshments were enjoyed by several hundred people mainly family members whose children were patients receiving treatment at the hospital Image and text by Regine Lord

Mandela Day at Beautiful Gate

Fortunately the rains spared us and we managed all outdoor activities without any disruptions There was also a group of children showcasing their talents in music and danceVolunteers from Takealot and Reeds helped with handing out refreshments and party packs while others participated in games The Army from Youngsfield station sent a big team to clean the site in honour of our Nelson Mandela legacy A team of interns from the Provincial Treasury also participated in the event Visitors also

brought donations in kind for the kids and for our second hand shopThe Saturday event started on a slow note but it stretched right till late afternoon This second day was meant for teenagers and parents whereby parents witnessed teenagers in various sport activities such as soccer and netballWe want to express our appreciation for all the organizations individuals and families who supported this event and our beneficiaries for showcasing our work

MANDELA DAY

Early Childhood Development (ECD) has been globally recognised as a key factor in promoting successful sustainable cognitive development assisting each child to reach their highest potential Pinelands-based Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network Organisation recognises the importance of this and takes an holistic approach to Early Childhood Development where all values behaviours and skills become entrenchedMhani Gingirsquos social responsibility initiatives and projects support four early learning centres which they have adopted in Nyanga and Philippi East providing support with fund-raising income-generation and assistance with DSD compliance training and guidance on gardening and good nutrition Thanks to a generous donation from Old Mutualrsquos Green Hands Mhani Gingi in partnership with Renee Lighton of LightOn Education offered a series of 4 training workshops to Mhani Gingirsquos adopted Early Learning centres and to all the educators at Early Learning Centres in the Nyanga and Philippi East surround 25 lovely ladies attended the workshops representing 15 ECDrsquos from the area These workshops were held at Beautiful Gate where the magnificent facilities were kindly offered by director Vaughan Stannard also a

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

Nelson Mandela said ldquo There can be no keener revelation of a societyrsquos soul than the way it treats its children Children are our greatest treasure They are our futurerdquo

The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) opened its doors on Mandela Day to volunteers who streamed in to groom the horses plait their manes and feed them apples and carrots Sasko provided a pancake kitchen and volunteers and carties were treated to sweet delights while those handy with a paint brush repainted the carts There is a close association between the CHPA and the City who provide law enforcement officers to assist the CHPA in upholding the animal protection bylaws Alderman JP Smith from the City was given a ride on a cart driven by Abduraghiem Cassiem and his horse TriggerIsmaeel Ockards with his sons Igshaan and Nasrodien were there with Thunder looking very smart in the family heirloom of leather tack and brass bells Horses and carts have been in the family for three generations and provide a way to make a living This family is extremely grateful to the CHPA for their support for food medical facilities and farrier services The CHPA also provides training to the Cart Horse drivers who are not allowed to operate without their registration plates and licences If you see a horse in need call 082 6599 599 or 021 535 3435

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

OCEAN BASKET DELIVERS MEALS TO KENDRICK HOUSE ON MANDELA DAY

Mr Richard Key Franchisee Owner of Ocean Basket N1 City donated 67 Meals to Kendrick House on Mandela Day I chose Kendrick House ultimately due to the synergy between them and the Mandela Day 67 minutes They house 67 old age folk at the home hence a perfect fit with Mandela Day 67 minutes and the Ocean Basket 67 mealsWe were very well received and all the old folks thoroughly enjoyed their meals

One staff member mentioned to me that it was a long time since the dining hall had been so quiet over a meal time Some of the folk recognised some of our staff from eating at our store previously and wanted photos taken of them and the staff A further donation of 48 Fish amp Chip meals is being made to the home for the 48 staff members so that they can also share in the ethos of the day

ASK THE PRINCIPAL

By Carol Booth

Principal of Cannons CreekIndependent School

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

THE NEED FOR PLAYTIMEOne cannot underestimate the importance of playing It is an aspect that many parents leave out as they only focus on the lsquointellectualrsquo side which is what we are being sold with respect to advertisements and toy shops What we need to remember that no matter how much we train our children through constant repetition when teaching them counting shapes colours and all the other topics that form part of the pre-school process if your little ones are not emotionally ready then they are not ready for formal education Childrenrsquos learning is multi-sensory and is best when they are emotionally ready for it and it is when we as adults lsquoforce the issuersquo by sending them into the formal setting too early that they flounder Let them play as this is their form of learning at this stage ndash there is plenty of time for formal learning later on

THE IMPORTANCE OFTACTILE LEARNING EXPERIENCESWe are so impressed when our little one can manoeuvre around the iPad or the computer and even the TV remote and yet they cannot balance jump on one leg or move around large play equipment confidently and yet this is the aspect of their growing upon which we should be concentrating Think about it in the olden days we turned knobs today we just touch them to achieve the same result We have lost the fingerhand co-ordination and the use of the rest of the arm and therefore the muscle development is stunted

A PARENTS ROLEParents also need to be reminded that this part of raising a child is their duty and one cannot expect any pre-school or play school to fill in this gap Yes their role is to allow them plenty of time on the large playground equipment but it is also the parentsrsquo role to encourage and participate in when they are young

PLAYING WITH THE RIGHT AGE GROUPFrom the age of one to three it is best that the child has a one on one connection with their parent as this is where a huge amount of growth takes place From the age of three they can then integrate with children of their own age (and this is important ndash if they are playing with younger children they learn to be the boss and if they are playing with older children they remain the lsquolittle childrsquo) What they need to learn is to communicate and play with children of their own age as they are both on the same emotional and intellectual level

INTELLECTUAL AND MOTORSKILLS DEVELOP ON THE JUNGLE GYMThe playground is where lots of this takes place When they are climbing the jungle gym they are not just climbing their brains are working out Mathematics Science and large motor skills just to mention a few When they are riding around on a scooter they are learning to balance again completing Mathematics and Science skills It is all about teaching the brain to function on these levels ndash it is not about getting the abstract concept of numbers And in order for them to work on their large and finer motor skills we as parents

HAVINGFUN AT THEPLAY PARK

need to expose them to these skills The playground is in fact their text book their library books and we need to ensure that we vary the activities

DEVELOP LISTENING SKILLS IN CHILDRENAnother aspect that we can work on before onersquos child starts formal learning at any age is the skill of listening We need to ensure that our children can become good listeners and are able to interpret what they are being told to carry out the instruction communicate in return about the same topic or communicate something that is linked to the topic A lot of learning takes place in the formal school setting via listening and we therefore need to work on this from when they are little When the ears nose and throat have problems we often find that this affects sequencing tempo and even balance When there is a problem between the inner ear and gravity then they cannot orientate themselves easily plan motor action and work out space It is therefore essential that when they have earache that we address it medically as it can also affect their growth All these items are important to cover before starting school Who said parenting was easy

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

1 Filling Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat Fry bacon until golden brown and cooked but not crispy Spoon out and drain on paper towel if necessary

2 Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan and sauteacute leeks and garlic until soft Add butternut and sauteacute for a few minutes Stir in the wine or tea and cover with a lid Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the butternut is cooked

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Hot off the press

Serves 4 to 6

Do you sometimes wonder what else you can prepare using butternut as it is such a wonderful everyday ingredient How about a phyllo pie with butternut bacon and sage Doesnrsquot that sound like fabulous comfort food

Butternut is one of my favourite veggies and perfect for far more than boiled or roasted cubes as a side to a meat dish It can indeed be boiled and roasted to use in many different ways and we all know a butternut soup Have you tried this veg as mash on a cottage pie for a different touch or to make fritters Roasted butternut in

a salad or with other roasted veggies is delicious The combination with bacon leeks and a creamy sauce in this pie will definitely be an instant family favourite

The recipe is from my new cookbook Make 5 and as with this pie I show people how easy it can be to enjoy flavourful food For instance the bacon is quite salty but the rest of the ingredients are more natural There is only a small amount of cream ndash just enough to make it rich and moreish but not overly heavy The phyllo also makes it a much lighter option to puff pastry Enjoy this pie with a large green salad

Heleenrsquos new recipe book Make 5Maak 5 is now available With this book she inspires everyone to use their everyday ingredients in five delicious and interesting ways Not only are the recipes easy and versatile but there are lots of practical tips on how to cook good food for the whole family to enjoy The book is available in English and Afrikaans For more information on Make 5 or any of her previous books or to order a signed copy visit her website wwwheleenmeyercoza
