The choir won gold in allthree categories it entered — theYoung Male Choirs, Scenic Folk-lore and Scenic Pop — as well asWorld Champion status in thelatter.

The 64-member Kearsneychoir received standing ovationson several occasions.

The choir was also invited torepresent Africa at the Games’ fi-nal Celebration Concert in a spec-tacular showcase performance,where one choir from each conti-

nent highlighted themusic repre-sentative of its continent.

During the Games, the Kears-ney choirwas invited to present aworkshoponSouthAfrica’s indig-enousmusic, entitled “Voices anddrums — a celebration of song,rhythm and movement”.

Withitssignatureblendofclas-sical, pop and indigenous music,the choir has now won 12 goldand six silver medals at the eightWorld Choir Games held biannu-ally since the inaugural event in2000.

The boys’ colourful exuber-ance and vigour, matched withtop-notch musical performances,highlights all that canbeachievedif differences are put aside and acommon goal is sought, saidKearsney College headmaster El-wyn van den Aardweg.

“The pride in African culture,the passion with which it is pre-sented,andtheobviousteamworkare inspiring.Theirunityandhar-mony show inandout of perform-ance.”• The choir will perform at Kears-ney on 22 July with the interna-tionally acclaimed show choirSynergy from the United States.Booking is through Computicket.

Another truck crash on Fields HillKALISHA [email protected]

THElatestaccidentonFieldsHillhas sparked residents’ con-cernsas theyareonceagainre-

questing for trucks to be banned inthe area.

In the recent incident a truckcrashedintofourtaxisleaving16peo-ple injured on Wednesday evening.

This accident comes just monthsafter a truck crashed into cars killing24 people at the same intersection.

According to Netcare 911 para-medic Chris Botha, a taxi and truckcollided at the Richmond Road inter-section.

“Netcare 911 paramedics andtheirrescueunit foundsomeof the in-jured trapped in the twisted vehicle.While therescueofficerused the jawsof life to extricate the driver, para-medics worked tirelessly to stabilisethe injured,” he said.

“After triaging it was found that

seven people sustained serious inju-ries while nine escaped with minorinjuries. Paramedics treated the in-jured and then transported them tohospital,” said Botha.

Ward 10 councillor Rick Crouchsaid these accidents could have beenavoided if the Department on Trans-port heeded the pleas of the commu-nity and banned trucks on FieldsHill.

“The department put up the sig-nagethatwaspromisedalmostayearago to limit trucksusageon this road,however,thesenewsignsremaincov-ered.

“What is the MEC waiting for?Does he want to make a big mediaproduction of unveiling the signage?

“Thisaccidentcouldpossiblyhavebeen averted if the new signage hadnot been covered and the old signageremoved. I continue to ask the MECwhatishewaitingfor?Thisisaclassiccase of tombstone legislation,” saidCrouch.

A KLOOF mother, who was hijackedwhiledroppingherchildatschoollastweek,exposedapotentialnewsecuri-ty threat for parents during schoolholidays.

SusanWestwasconfrontedbytwomen outside Kloof Pre-Primary at7am on Wednesday , and struck onthe face with a firearm when she re-fused tohandover the keys of herRe-nault Sandero.

Thehijackers later firedat search-and-rescue police who took up thechase.

The car was later recovered inKwaDabeka when the men crashedit.

After dropping her five-year-oldsonsafelyinsideforaclubevent,West(43)saidshesurprisedherselfbysay-

ing“no”whenthemenemergedfrombehindarecyclingbinanddemandedher car and ring.

“It’stheschoolholidays,that’swhy— normally there are neighborhoodguys watching the entrance.”

“ButIhavetosayeveryone,includ-ing the police, were fantastic — SACAN, the security company, totalstrangers. An amazing lady drivingpastdroveandgotmeintohercarandaway from the scene. And a gentle-man driving past actually chasedthem.”

Kloof CPF chairperson CornéBroodryk said the hijackers “seemlike opportunists”— especially sincethey’d hijacked a French car, whichcrimesyndicates“don’twant”.Buthewas concerned that schools wereseen as “soft targets”.

This follows school parking-lot hi-

jackingsat twoothereliteupperhigh-way pre-schools — Small World andJean’s Playglen — in the past 10months. It isalsothesecondhijackingin amonth inKloof,which hadprevi-ously enjoyed a year of record-lowcrime following a partnership be-tween the CFP, the SAPS, securitycompanies and SA CAN.

Broodryk said neighbourhoodwatch patrollers typically stood nearschool entrancesduringdrop-off andpick-up times, but school holidayshad left casual school visitors vulner-able.

Colleen Phillips, Kloof’s principal,said holiday period events at schoolsneeded special security arrange-ments in future.

“That lady [Susan] was the first toarrive and no one else was around. Ihaveaskedtheneighbourhoodwatch

to start coming here from tomorrow[holiday events].”

Phillipssaidcommunitypatrollers“unfortunately don’t often come inthemorning”, but shehoped the inci-dent might generate a new securityschedule.

Jean Dearman, owner of Jean’sPlayglen in Hillcrest, said: “Parentsaremost concerned that theyare vul-nerable there.

“Mothersarrivingwithyoungchil-dren have to unstrap them from carseatsandgatherbags for thechildrenand their own bags, and there is noway mothers can take awareness ofwhat’s around their cars.”

Dearmansaidtheschoolhadcam-eras and a guard on site at all times,and encouraged private security andthe “fantastic”Westriding communi-tywatch to park nearby during drop-

off time.The hijacking of a Renault — and

particularlyWest’smodel—issorarein South Africa that security expertsand police were scratching theirheads as to the motive.

Craig White, recoveries managerfor Bidtrack, who joined the hunt forthe hijackers yesterday, said: “It’sstrange to them, hijacking is their joband they know what they want.

“We don’t see makes like this hi-jacked.Andif itsacommontarget likeHilux or a [VW] Polo that’s hijacked,youknowwheretostart lookingfor it,even if it doesn’t have a tracking de-vice. But a Renault? No one knowswheretostart.Maybesomeoneneed-ed spare parts.”

An initiative toprevent blindness>> ‘There is a strong link between childhood blindness and poverty’

KALISHA [email protected]

ANEWorganisation aims to pro-videaffordablehealthcareinaneffort to prevent blindness.

SetzkornHealth andWealth Con-sulting in Kloof Old Main Road hasopened itsdoors toOrbisAfrica’sKwa-Zulu-Natalprojectmanager tohelp re-duce and prevent child blindness.

Orbis is a global non-profit organi-sationandhasworked in92countries,trained 325 000 eye-care profession-als, provided 925 000 surgeries andtreated 23.3 million people.

Orbis programmes focus on build-ing affordable, accessible and sustain-able eye health serviceswith the focuson paediatric eye health in sub-Saha-ran Africa.

Orbis provides tools, training andtechnology necessary for partners todevelop lasting solutions to avoidableblindness.

According to Helen White, headcommunications of Orbis, sub-Saha-ran Africa has the highest prevalenceof childhood blindness in the world.

“In developing countries, up to 60percent of childrendiewithin a year ofgoing blind. Three-quarters of earlylearning is through sight. There is astrong link between childhood blind-ness and poverty,” she said.

Whitesaid thatspecialisedpaediat-ric eye health is rare and expensive inAfricaandthisiswhereOrbiscomesin.

“TheOrbisAfricainitiativeisacom-

prehensive model for eye health, fo-cusing on child eye health. The initia-tive aims to strengthen existing eyehealth services and to establish newservices where none exist,” saidWhite.

“These services provide screeningand referral for eye diseases and offerhigh-quality treatment, including cat-aract surgical services and refractiveerror services. Orbis Africa aims to es-tablish or strengthen 10 child eyehealth tertiary facilities by 2020.”

She said that in order to ensure pe-diatriceyehealthservicesaresuccess-ful, strong adult services must also beavailable.

“Orbis Africa works in partnershipwith stakeholders fromgovernment tocivil society and our work is alignedwith national policy,” said White.

“This is therefore a collaborativeproject which hopes to reduce avoid-

able blindness in children by address-ing various aspects of the health sys-tem, such as referral pathways, pro-viding public awareness andimproving skills at all levelswithin thedistrict health system.”

Greg Setzkorn, managing directorof Setzkorn Health and Wealth Con-sulting, said: “We are delighted to beable to contribute an office base forNtombi Mkhize, the KwaZulu-Natalprojectmanager, toworkfrom.It isourwayofassisting thisworthy initiative,”he said.

“Manypeoplearound theworldareneedlessly blind andOrbis plays ama-jor role in preventing this. With Kwa-Zulu-Natal having the highest child-hood blindness rate in the country wewant to do what we can to help,” saidSetzkorn.

“OUR human compassion binds usthe one to the other - not in pity orpatronisingly, but as human beingswhohavelearnthowtoturnourcom-mon suffering into hope for the fu-ture.’’ - Nelson Mandela.

AS the first Mandela Day (18July) after the death of NelsonMandela approaches, resi-

dents in the Upper Highway area arejoining forces to make this day countand help those in need.

The idea of Mandela Day was in-spired by Mandela at his 90th birth-day celebrations in London’s HydePark in 2008whenhe said: "It is timefor newhands to lift the burdens. It isin your hands now."

The United Nations officiallydeclared 18 July Nelson Mandela In-ternational Day in November 2009,recognising Mandela’s "values andhis dedication to the service ofhumanity and acknowledging hiscontribution to the struggle fordemocracy internationally and thepromotion of a culture of peacethroughout the world".

This Mandela Day, Upper High-way residents Manda Kietzmannfrom “Just Cooked”, Kim GriffithJones of theRobinHoodFoundation,TanyavanAgthoven-MaraisfromEx-tra YumCakes andMeryl Erasmus of

Meryl’s School of Cooking, are mak-ing this year extra special by hostinga Mandela Remembrance Week.

The women and the Robin HoodFoundationwill visit crèchesandold-age homes between 13 and 18 July

with a visit to the “old” HillcrestHospital on Wednesday 16 July at10amtospreadlove,hope andcheer.

“Wewant tobless thedisabledandelderly residents at the hospital witha special ‘Tea and Time’ and are en-

couraging local residents to sponsorcakes, biscuits, savouries and ablanket or beanie as part of their 67minutes of making a difference. Theother option is for people to donateR67 to our ‘Buy-A-Brick’ campaign,enabling us to build a 64-square-metre crèche in rural Marianhill,’’said Griffith Jones.

7Fighting the inevitablewinter bulgeFOR many people the cold dark

winter months invariably meana small but often accumulating

weight gain year-on-year.A small weight gain of only 1kg per

year, in five years can mean a totalweight gain of 5kg, and the need for alarger dress size (not to mention thehealth implications!).

It is important to be aware of smallfluctuations in your weight and beproactive inpreventinga slowspread-ing of your middle!The following are simple yet effec-

tive tips that you can try to fight thewinter bulge this year:

Avoid the temptation to drop yourregular water drinking habit formorehot coffee and tea. Particularly if youindulge in cappuccino and lattes withsugar.Buy fruit orherbal teas that canbe just as good as water in hydrating,but also serve to provide warmth.

Don’t let your exercise habits slip!More than ever, this is the time to keepup regular exercise. Done first thingin the morning, any exercise will heatyou from the core for most of the dayand maintain your metabolic rate.

Beware of the craving for carb-dense (often also high fat) foods anddefinitely be cautious about trying tocutall carbsduring this time (thismayexacerbate any cravings that youhaveif trying to cut back too much).

Rather be very selective of yourcarb-foods usinglowGI as your guide,and choose wholegrain over refinedoptions. Good choices include rolledoats, heavy dense low GI bread, rye

bread,brownrice,wholewheatpasta,sweet potato.

Plan your meals and snacks to in-clude protein, thiswill sustain you forlonger helping to control any cravingsthat youmaybattlewith.Forexample,at breakfast including dairy (yoghurt,milk, orcheese),oregg,at snacktimesa small handful of nuts, or yoghurt,and at both lunch and dinner smallportionsof leanprotein(chicken, tuna,sardines, cheese, ham, mince).

Don’t cut back too much on fat!Healthy fats will also keep you fullerfor longer, plus add more flavour toyourmeals. Seedsinyouroats,peanutbutteronyourProvita,pestowithyourpasta salad, olive oil over your saladwith avocado.

Indulge in a hot milky drink afterdinner.Whenmostpeoplecravesome-thing sweet, a steamingmugofMilo orhot chocolate, madewith onlymilk isawonderfullyrichandsatisfyingalter-native to chocolate.

Allow one treat a week but make ita controlled and conscious decision.Whetheritisachocolatecroissantwithyour usual mid-morning coffee on aSunday, or ameal out on Friday night,orsimplya smallbarofchocolatewiththe Saturday night movie. Only once aweek! This should not off-set your ef-forts and dedication during the rest oftheweek, plus it gives you somethingto look forward to.

1: Exercise controls weightExercise can help prevent excessweight gain or help maintain weightloss.When you engage inphysical activi-

ty, you burn kilojoules. The more in-tense the activity, themore kilojoulesyou burn. You don't need to set asidelarge chunks of time for exercise toreap weight-loss benefits.

If you can’t do an actual workout,get more active throughout the dayin simpleways—by taking the stairs

cerns, including stroke, metabolicsyndrome, type 2 diabetes, depres-sion, certain types of cancer, arthritisand falls.

3: Exercise improves moodA workout at the gym or a brisk

30-minute walk can help. Physicalactivity stimulates various brainchemicals that may leave you feelinghappier and more relaxed. You mayalso feel better about your appear-ance and yourself when you exerciseregularly, which can boost your confi-

Muscular pain in the neck and above the shoulder area is com-monafter sudden trauma likea fall or awhiplash. It is alsocom-mon due to smaller, repetitive movements or positions that wedo all day. We can worsenmuscular tension and pain by theseincorrect positions or ease it by doing a fewsimple things.

Sittingwithout armrests orwitharmrests toohighwill put strainon the muscles that support the neck and shoulders. It is bet-ter to have a chair with armrests at the correct height, or buildup the armrests so that the elbows are supported and forearmshorizontal.

Strain is also caused by having to lift your shoulders so that yourhands can reach your keyboard. Raise your chair so that yourshoulders are relaxed and your forearms horizontal. Do remem-ber to sit back into your chair, with additional support behindyour lowerback if required. Ensure that yourheadposition isbal-ancedwith your chin in and looking straight ahead of you. Posi-tion your monitor so that the top of it is at eye level so that youdonot have to lookupat it. It is also important not to lookdown,while reading for instance - rather put your book on a bookstandso that you can look directly at it.

People tend to get engrossed in what they are doing and remainin fixed positions which also places strain on muscles. It is important to get up and move around aboutevery 20 - 30 minutes. You could set a reminder on your computer or an alarm at the other side of theroom. Neckactive rangeofmotionexercisesandstretchesadvisedby your physiotherapist at these timesare also advised. Sitting with you head turned, for examplewhile talking to someone sitting on your side,is also not advisable. Rather turn your chair to face them. The sameapplieswith amonitor or papers thatare positioned to your side - put themdirectly in front of you.

Long telephone calls, especially when the telephone is held between your ear and shoulder also, putsstress on themuscles. It is advisable to use a headset.

Clothing and accessories can also place stress on themuscles of the neck and shoulder. Tight, narrow brastraps can apply pressure to the muscles below. Thiscan be avoided by having bras with wider straps orplacing thin padding under the strap to distribute thepressure. It may also be helpful to move the strap fur-ther outwards to themore bony area of the shoulder. Ashoulder strap of a bag can have the same negative ef-fects and is best placedover thebony areaof the oppo-site shoulder, or notwornon theshoulder atall. Aheavycoat can have similar effects, which can be minimisedby using shoulder pads.

A walking stick that is too long will cause elevation ofthe shoulder on that side and cause over-contractionandstrainon thosemuscles. It is therefore important tohave awalking stick that has beenmeasured for you.

Sleeping on your abdomen with your head turned to the side is obviously also hazardous to your neck.Rather sleep on your back or side with well supportive pillows that keep your neck in line with the rest ofyour spine.

Theseare just a few tips to reducemuscular strainof your neck. Tight, painfulmuscles canalsobe treatedby physiotherapists by massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, specific soft tissue mobilisa-tions, electrotherapy or dry needling and stretches. It is important to be assessed by your physiotherapistas neck pain and resulting tight muscles can be a secondary effect of other more serious pathology, verycommonly your spine,which canalso be treatedbyphysiotherapy.

JAMES SIDDALL

AAAH, Pink Floyd. If you're inmyagegroup - fortysomething- you might hold them to be

one of the finest secular bands of alltime. And one of their stand-outtracks is surely Time, with these lyr-ics:

"Every year is getting shorter,never seem to find the time/Plansthat either come to naught or half apage of scribbled lines."

It's all rather evocative of ourrush-rush-rush modern life, wherethere simply doesn't seem to beenough time to do, well, anything.Enter then Hillcrest Kwikspar, andmore specifically its pre-cookedmeals.

For a couple of years now I'vethought that the store's range ofready-made meals was something ofa well-kept secret.

And many, many evenings I'veavailed myself of the likes of itsRoast of the Day - a wholesome affairreplete with vegetables and gravy. Asa bachelor, I can't even begin to con-ceive of cooking something as nutri-tious. Nevermind at the absurdly lowprice that this meal costs.

But it seems that the word hasspread around the community.

“Most of our convenience mealswe cook in the store,” says Hillcrest

KwikSpar co-owner Mike Egling,who quite incidentally wasmy rugbycaptain at Hillcrest High back in theeighties.

“You know,” he adds, “we put animmense amount of training intoour staff. Our highest independenthealth audit score was 99 percent...and ourlowest92percent.Andthe reason we have an open-plankitchenisbecause it enforces clean-liness. Plus customers can seewhat'sgoing on behind the scenes.”

But the range of ready-mademeals doesn't stop with Roast of theDay. Not by a long shot. The deli alsohas everything - all freshly prepared,naturally - from stuffed chickenbreasts to roast vegetables to curriesto tip-top quiche.

“In our own lifestyle we are reallybusy, so as a family we often eat fromhere,” says Mike. “It’s all food thatwe’re happy to feed our own kids.”

“One of the reasons I think thatour food is so good is that we'veinvested in a blast-chiller. Sowe cookit, and then blast it chilled, so it keepsits integrity and doesn't dry out.”

Customers can then heat it athome - or ask for it to be heated inthe store.

Hillcrest KwikSpar has also built abit of a name for its roast chickens,which are butter-basted. And it’s noaccident that they can sell up to 500

birds a day.Meanwhile, between 6.30am and

8pm customers can order fresh-cooked take-away, from bacon-and-egg rolls to all-day breakfasts. Andthe prices are simply precedentsetting.

Then there’s a new sushi counter,while Mike and his wife Leigh-Annescour South Africa for the tastiest oftreats.

“After trying a couple of supplierswe’ve found the best pork pies,”reckons Mike.

“And we've got a chilled courierwho brings down our porkies, ourScotch eggs, and our Yorkshire pud-dings from Johannesburg everyweek.”

That's also just touching the tipof the ready-mademeals available atKwikSpar - and I almost said “conve-nience-meals” until I rememberedthat that term evokes preservative-laden, factory-made fare with all thetaste and nutrition of cut grass.Which the food in this store is thevery antithesis of.

So, yes, we might live in a time-poor society. But Hillcrest KwikSpar- and its staff, who seem to genuinelydelight in working in the store - goesquitesomewaytomakingmodernlifejust a little less stressful, just a littleless onerous, and a whole lesshungry.

The KYMCO 300i Downtown scooter isa maxi scooter ability with a sporty ride midrange 300 cc fuel injected.

At first introduction the Downtownappears larger than imagined. It appears very similar to its maxi sister theXciting 500cc. It is a downsized versionof the Xciting.

The differences on this liquid cooled,single cylinder, 4 stroke fuel injected300cc outside of obvious engine sizecauses no compromise except that yourpocket book will notice. A smaller engine means less cost, less insurance (depending of course on your individual riding record) and, though KYMCO’S getexcellent fuel mileage, yes consumption on this model will be even thriftier.

You won’t be compromising performance. The downtown characteristic ofurban community itself, won’t wear outyour patience it’s spunky, smooth andits torque and power is plenty!

The Downtown is slightly shorter inlength with its total length being just on220cm – 5,5 cm shorter than the 500Xciting. It’s also not as tall as the Xciting.The design has been adjusted to conquer city potholes while accommodating taller inseams. The Downtown alsohas a huge benefit in that it is extremelylight. Without liquid it sits at a total of166kgs making it light and manoeuverable. This means that you will have terrific acceleration from a stop. Basicallyyou’ll have the body of KYMCO’s successful maxi scooter but a little bit lighter on the overall performance – whichis a great way to explore urban environments.

The Downtown’s lighter weight istruly noticed with its extra ease of handling. Don’t let the size fool you. Thisride is perfect for commuting throughthe towns and urban jungles. With itsCVT transmission you have the expect

ed twist and “go now” result. On thehighway, the Downtown performs extremely well at cruising speeds. There’sa terrific sense of security all around youand its windscreen size is ample enoughto deter discomfort. Its solid suspensionis attributed to its aerodynamicsmoothness. Its goodsized tyres, arethere to reduce the bumpy ride andagain to provide good longdistance riding performance.

The steering is light and responsivewith a fantastic turning radius which isideal for downtown urban travel small/short turns. City riding offers total comfort and sense of security due to its excellent brake availability – with disksboth front and rear.

The fuel tank will hold up to 12,5litres which is nearing the average sizeof your standard motorcycle. Anythinghigher, with a full tank would add to theoverall weight slightly affecting manoeuvrability of the bike. But this tanksize, ample as the CVT engine is greaton fuel, keeps the weight down for agile

easy light riding.Further, the bike has integrated pas

senger grips, centre hook, illuminatedunderseat storage with enough roomfor two helmets. There is also a watertight indash storage compartmentwith 12v accessory outlet for smartphones; digital instrument cluster; analogue speedometer and tachometer,digital odometer, dualbeam quartzhalogen head lights, integrated passenger pegs, fiveposition adjustable rearshocks, fiveinone magnetic key locksystem, sturdy centre stand, spring assisted side stand and low battery light!

So who is the KYMCO Downtown300i rider?

You love style and performance inyour ride, you’re modern and not worried about stereotypes. You like theease of ‘twist and go’ motorcycling, youlike to use your scooter for commutingand practical purposes but you love thepleasure of the open road and travellingto the beach, the cottage or to visit other “downtown” communities.

THE Illovo Eston MTB Challenge organisershave decided to make some substantialchangestotherouteofoneofthecountry'smostpopular one-day classics that gets under wayat the Eston Club on 3 August.

Thechallengeofremainingcontemporaryissomething that Illovo Eston MTB ChallengechairmanAntFoster, and the rest of the coursedesigners, believes has led to the changes thathave been made, and following years of suc-cessful trails, he believes the new route will bejust as popular.

"Youalwayswanttostaycurrentandfresh,"Foster said. "This is now the challenge for us,but we still want a route that [not only] catersfor the top guys, but also for the people at theback of the field so we havemade the changes

accordingly."I have been threatening to take the plunge

and make the changes, but when you have2 500 riders at an event it is quite a risk.

"I am happy with the way it has turnedout and we are all mountain bikers here andwe think we have done the right thing."

Having almost entirely reversed the coursethis yearFoster believes it has the samecharmit has had in the past and the balance of thecourse remains the same with some trickysections, but a lot of enjoyable riding.

"Themajor difference is the direction—wehave changed that completely which meansyou are using the same sections of track, butapproaching them from a different angle. Youstill have to work hard in the opening sectionsof the 60km Illovo Marathon, but then youhave great single track to play around on andreally enjoy.

"A few years ago single track was quiteoriginal, now all races use it which has meantthat if we are going to use single track then ithas to be the best around and from races likeSani2c and Karkloof we know what to expectfrom our single track," Foster explained.

TheIllovoEstonMTBChallenge's60kmIllo-vo Eston Marathon, 40km aQuellé Half Mara-thon, 18km Tala/aQuellé Family Ride and the10km Stihl Kids Ride take place at the EstonCountry Club on Sunday 3 August. More infocan be found at www.illovoestonmtb.co.za
