Stay safe this holiday seasonAs the festive season draws closer, Stellen-boschWatchhas issuedthesesafety tips forkeeping your home safe from burglars thisholiday.
) Burglar bars should be installed in con-junction with a burglar alarm system that islinked to a monitoring and armed responseservice.
) Reduce all heavy foliage near the garageentrance and front door to reduce thepossibili-ty of those spots being used as a hiding place.
) The front of the house should be visibleto passersby so that any burglar or suspiciousactivity can be noted.
) Ensure all windows are fitted with ade-
quate locks or burglar bars that cover all glass.) Fit suitable locks or bolts to all sliding
doorstopreventthemfrombeingliftedoff theirtracks (themost commonmethod used by bur-glars on sliding doors and windows).
) Install security gates on outside doors andkeep them locked.
) When approaching your house entranceon foot or by car, make sure that it is safe toenter and that you have not been followed. Beon the lookout for persons loitering at the en-trance, vehicles stoppingwhen you slow downor anything out of the ordinary.
) Makesurethatyourgateanddrivewayarewell lit afterdark.Replace fused lightbulbs im-mediately.
) Ensure that the number of your house isclearly visible at all times.
) At night, always lock perimeter doors andsecurely fastenwindows.Whenretiring tobed,lock inter-leading doors of those rooms in thehouse that are not occupied.
) Conduct thorough background checks be-fore employing anyone (permanent or casualworkers).
) Know your neighbours and build a rela-tionship ofmutual trust and support.Whengo-ing away on holiday inform them, or make ar-rangements for your house to be watched andunusual activity to be noticed.
) Do not leave curtains open at night as thisallows observation into the house.
) Do not go outside alone to investigate atnight. Rather switch off all lights andopen cur-tains to allow you to see what is occurring out-side.
) Never leave any important documents inyour car, including cheque books, bank state-ments, invoices, telephone accounts, creditcards, keys, remote controls or personal post,or anything that may provide your personaldetails.
) Photograph and maintain a register ofyour valuable items, with serial numbers,where applicable. Marking valuable itemsmakes them easy to identify if they are stolenandmay even help the police to arrest the per-petrators.

Keep kids safe around waterThefestiveseasonand warmsum-mer weather are here – a timewhenkids lovenothingmorethanto spend time at the swimmingpool or beach.
Netcare 911 operations director,Peter Feurstein, says that tragicallyNetcare 911 is always called out to alarge number of incidents involvingchild drownings or near drowningsover the summer months.The sea, rivers, swimming pools
and even the home can pose a threatto the safety of small children, hesays.According to Netcare 911 medical
director, Dr Anchen Laubscher,drownings are one of the top causesof unnatural deaths among childrenin South Africa. She points out thatmost drownings and near-drown-ings occur around the home and in-volve children under the age of five.“Young children are extremely
vulnerablearoundwater.Babiescan
drown in just a few centimetres ofwater. It is therefore not only swim-ming pools and rivers that pose athreat to them but also potentiallybaths, toilets, water buckets andwashbasins.“A recent case involved a three-
year-old toddler who had a neardrowning experience in a shallowpond that was just a few centimetresdeep.“His parents found him face down
in the pond. Fortunately they gavehim life-saving CPR and he made afull recovery.”Laubscher advises parents to re-
moveor safeguardanywater aroundthe home that could potentially posea danger to children.
) Swimming pools and pondsshould be fenced off to ensure thatchildren do not have access to them.
) Pools and ponds should also becovered with safety nets.
) Young children should alwaysne closelymonitored as theywander
off and fall into swimming pools inthe blink of an eye.Even if they are good swimmers,
children should not be allowed toswim in the sea, a dam, a river or apool unsupervised.Shalen Ramduth, head of the Net-
care 911 School of Emergency andCritical Care (SECC), says it is ex-tremely empowering to be able to in-tervenewhen a loved one is vulnera-bleandurgesallparents to learn firstaid, particularlyCPR. In children, asin adults, when the heart has failed,CPR can keep the brain suppliedwith oxygen until an advanced lifesupport paramedic can take overtreatment.He says theSECCprovides avarie-
ty of accredited first aid and CPRtraining courses at various levels in-cluding CPR for family and friends.These are offered to schools, busi-
nesses, organisations, old age homesand any private individuals who areinterested in learning first aid.

Prepare for fire seasonWith all the fun that comes with thesummer sun, there are also someadded dangers during this season,which is very conducive to fires.Volunteer Wildfire Services,
which works under the authority ofSANParks and CapeNature, wouldlike to offer basic wildfire safety tipsfor the months ahead.
) If you are going into the moun-tains check the Fire Danger In-dex (FDI) available atwww.weather-sa.co.za.
)When hiking or walking alwayscarry at least 2l of water.
) If you spot a wildfire, make aplan, don’t panic.
) Phone for help, alert authoritiesto your presence.
) Never run uphill or up a slopefrom a wildfire.
) If possible, move sideways to-wards the flatter ground.
)Wildfires move with the wind,so move away and against the wind.
) Look for anything that couldhelp shield you from the fire’s heat.
) If caught in a wildfire, look fornatural breaks in vegetation such ascleared or rocky areas, depressionsor large bodies of water. Clear awayany vegetation you can before thefire arrives.
) Get into those areas, get low tothegroundandbreath throughanat-ural fabric.
) On a mountainside, the backside is safer. Avoid canyons (kloofs),natural “chimneys” and saddles.
) If a road is nearby, lie face downalong the road and cover yourselfwith a shield that will not melt orburn.
) Discardanynon-cottonclothingas this could catch fire or melt ontoyou.
) After the fire passes rememberdanger is not over. Burned trees fallwithout warning.
) After a fire, the burnt groundand debris is still hot and can burnyou.
) Never leave a campfire unat-
tended, always completely extin-guish the fire before sleeping or leav-ing.
)Make sure camp fires or braaisare a safe distance fromany flamma-ble material.
) Never braai or make camp firesin prohibited areas.
) Never throw cigarettes ormatches from a car window.
) Never make bonfires in windyconditions.The Western Cape government
provides the following tips for safetyin the home:
) Keep a well-maintained fire ex-tinguisher in your house, and knowhow to use it.
) If you have a garden hose, keepit rolledupandready incaseof a fire.
)Where possible, havemore thanone exit from your house.
) Have an escape plan, and makesure that thewhole familyknows theplan.
) Do not park in the way of a firehydrant (and remind your neigh-bours and visitors to do the same).Anyone can get involved with the
Volunteer Wildfire Services andhelp curb wildfires.Visitwww.vws.co.za for their next
training dates.
Wildfires are common throughout the fireseason.

Rieldansers gaan diestof laat staan in PaarlOpSaterdag7Desembergaandaarweerge-dansworddatdiestof letterlikstaantydensdie jaarlikse ATKV-Rieldansfinaal wat indie Liquifruit-Amfiteater op Paarlbergplaasvind.
Rieldansers van so ver as Loeriesfontein indie Boesmanland kom wys hul staal teen diebeste rieldansgroepe van regoor die land, ensoos altyd beloof dié geleentheid om ’n joligeaand onder die sterre te wees. Al gewonderwaar die uitdrukking “dans dat die stof sostaan” vandaan kom? Dan móét jy kom kyk –’n rieldanser se vermoë word onder meer be-oordeel aanhoehooghyof sydie stofwolkekanopdans.Die rieldansword beskou as die oudste dans-soort in Suider Afrika, en die hedendaagsevorm van die dans kan direk na die Khoisan,die eerste bewoners van die suidpunt vanAfri-ka, herlei word. Die Khoisan het die danse insirkel om ’nvuur gedans om ’ngoeie oes of jag-tog te vier, en baie van die hedendaagse riel-danse word vandag steeds in ’n sirkel gedoen.In Nama staan die dans as die khapara be-kend, maar die naam rieldans is afgelei vanSkotse immigrante se “reel dance”.Die riel is veral tussen die 1940’s en 1960’sdeur die werkersklas gedans, en hedendaagserieldansersprobeeromietsvandaardieeravaste vang in hul kostuums. Weens onder meerverstedeliking en die aanhang van die Ameri-kaanse popkultuurhet die riel bynauitgesterf,maar danksy die ATKV se ingryping en veraldie werk van Elias Nel, het dié tradisioneledansvormweer herleef. Die eerste ATKV Riel-danskompetisie is in 2006 aangebied, en diékunsvorm gaan sedertdien van krag tot krag.Jong rieldansertjies het die afgelope paar jaaronder meer by ’n amptelike parlementsope-ning gedans, en vroeër vanjaar het die huidigejunior kampioene, die Betjies van Betjiesfon-tein, selfs by die luisterryke Huisgenoot Skou-
spel opgetree.Die riel beeld dikwels die liefdespel tussenman en vrou uit, maar diere en voëls word ookdeur dans uitgebeeld: ’n volstruis wat vlerk-sleep, meerkatte, ’n bobbejaan se streke, ’npronkendespringbok.Endanisdaarnatuurlikdie askoek. In dié dans, wat teen ’n ysingwek-kendepasgedansword,worddie regtervoet ge-durende die dans vinnig en sekuur bokant dielinkerknie geplaas sonder dat die danser sy ba-lans verloor.Vernuftige voetwerk en hope energie is no-dig omdie riel goed te dans, en daarvan is daarelke jaar volop by die Rieldans-finale. Dansersvan ses tot sestig wys hul passies en ding meevir die prysgeld en trofeë wat deur die ATKVgeborg word.Benewens die pryse en prysgeld vir die dan-sers, is daar ook twee spesiale pryse (beste riel-dansmusikant en beste Afrikaanse rieldans-liedjie) op die spel. Daar is ’n junior en seniorafdeling, en in vanjaar se junior afdeling dingdie heersende kampioene, die Betjies van Bet-jiesfontein, mee teen Korbeel (Carnarvon), dieCalvinia Sitstappers, die Nuwe GraskoueTrappers (Wupperthal) en Rapystone (Fraser-burg). IndieseniorafdelingsalWitzenberg,die2012-kampioene, hul slag moet wys teen dieGrasvleiGrastrappers (Wupperthal), dieSuur-rug Suurtrappers (Wupperthal), die Boesman-land Bitterbessies (Loeriesfontein) en Grie-kwa Ratelgat (Vredendal).Moenie hierdie heerlike kultuurgeleentheidvir oud en jonk misloop nie!

Advocacy group demandsaction to end gender-based violenceGender-rights groupshave said southern Afri-can region is in a state ofemergency. Governmentsacross the region must toact now to reduce the lev-els of gender-based vio-lence (GBV) to guaranteewomen’s human rights.
Thisrequiresaholisticap-proach, which includes con-stitutional and legal meas-ures, social, political andeconomic empowerment,political leadership, and afundamental change of atti-tudes from the bedroom tothe boardroom.This is the key message of
Gender Links (GL), a south-ern African NGO that coor-dinates the SADC Gender
ProtocolAllianceat thestartof the 16 Days of Activism.The campaign runs until 10December, InternationalHuman Rights Day.The largest percentage of
women who have experi-enced some form of violencein their lifetime, live in Lim-popo (77%), followedbyGau-teng (51%), WesternCape (45%) and 36% in Kwa-Zulu Natal.These are the findings of
baseline studies conductedby GL and partner organisa-tions.“For us, the campaign to
end violence is a 365 daycampaign,” saidGLchief ex-ecutive Colleen Lowe Mor-na. “However, we will usethe political and media at-
tention accorded to the 16Days of Activism to raiseawareness on the extent,causes, effects, and efforts toend GBV as highlighted inthe various studies we haveconducted.“Through the launch of
various country barometerson progress towards achiev-ing the 28 targets of theSADC Gender Protocol, wewill send out the messagethat GBV does not occur ina vacuum.”GL commemorates the
campaign under the banner:“Peace begins at home,”which recognises that thehighest form of violencewomen experience is perpe-trated by their partners.– www.genderlinks.org.za

Dít is die boodskap van bei-de prof Julian Smith, die USse Viserektor: Gemeenskap-sinteraksie en Personeel, enmnr Joseph Jacobs, voorsit-ter van die plaaslike sokker-vereniging (die LFA), oorge-dra deur die aankondiging opVrydag 22 November van ’nlangtermyn-vennootskap tus-sen die Universiteit en dieLFA.Die boek Sokker op Stellen-
bosch, saamgestel deurHiltonBiscombe onder leiding vanprof Albert Grundlingh vandie US se Departement Ge-skiedenis, is ook tydens hier-die geleentheidbekendgestel.Die LFA-US-vennootskap is
die eindresultaat van ver-skeie sokkerinisiatiewe watdie afgelope jaar in die Stel-lenbosch-streek aangepak isendeur Innovus, dieuniversi-teits-bedryfsinteraksie en innovasiemaatskap-py van die US bestuur is in samewerking metMaties Sport.Deur die nuwe verhouding sal die LFA se ad-
ministratiewe en afrigtingspersoneel, asook sylede, van riglyne voorsien word vir die bestemetodes om hul afrigters en administrateurstoe te rus en die LFA-organisasie as ’n geheelte ontwikkel.
In die lig hiervan gaan dieUS, deur Innovus, vroeg in2014 ’n kursus vir sokkerad-ministrateurs aanbied. Ditvolg op ’n opleidingskurusvir afrigters uit die Stellen-bosse gemeenskap wat inJulie vanjaarbydie Idasval-lei-sportkompleks gehou is.Hierdie kursus is deur dieKoninklike NederlandseSokkervereniging (KNVB)aangebied as deel van hulWorldCoaches-program.Die vennootskap sal ook fo-kus daarop om jeugsokker-ontwikkeling te stimuleerdeur gesonde interklub-kompetisie en die aanbie-ding van openings- en af-sluitingskompetisies,asook jeugsokkerfeeste.Volgens Jacobs het Stel-
lenbosch ’n ryk sokkerge-skiedenis. “Ons vennoot-skapmetdieUSgaanoordiespel sokker en die holistieseontwikkeling van ons spe-lers en administrateurs.Maar dit gaan ook oor dieontwikkeling van ons ge-meenskappe – en nie net inStellenbosch nie, maar ookin die groter Wynland-streek.”
