a fresh aPProaCh to loCal news

The time has arrived for the community to raise their concerns regarding the rezoning of Erf 279, alberante from an educational to a residential zone.A letter from Mr Rean Booysen, stated the following:‘’We refer to the above matter and attach hereto the proposal tabled during the above meeting held on Thursday November 2014.We confirm that we proposed to reduce the density on the one stand (approximately half the total stand) to 50 units per hectare and the height to two levels.We are further proposing that the other half of the site remain educational for a period of 2years in order to evaluate the need for educational facilities in the area and to

consider viable proposals.A request was tabled regarding the green areas on our proposal. This covers 45% of the proposed layout plan.You will revert back to us by 31 January 2015. Should objections be withdrawn or an alternative agreed upon, this proposal lapses and the matter will have to proceed to a tribunal.’’Last year, Mr Booysen said the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units will sell at a price between R800 000 and R900 000, which will not classify them as low-cost housing.

Any input from the community can be done in writing and sent to Gene Fivaz at [email protected].

- Die datering op die vorm was vir onderskeidelik 21 en 24 Desember 2014 terwyl sulke permitte nie ouer as 72 uur mag wees nie.- Dit dui aan dat die oorsprong van die voëls bruma, Edenvale is terwyl hy van Carolina afgekom het.- Dit dui aan dat die permit vir lugvervoer van die voëls is.- Daar is slegs een veaartsverslag vir al 24 voëls terwyl elke voel ‘n permit benodig.

20 Volstruise jonger as vier maande, aldus Dr Karen Rademeyer, twee swane en twee eende is Saterdagmiddag deur die Albertonse DBV tak gekonfiskeer. Die flink optrede van vier lede van die Brackendowns Reaksie-eenheid W/O Chretien, Konstabel Simpson, Sersant Thomas en Konstabel Magill, was oppad terug van die begrafnis van een van hulle kollegas op die Wesrand, toe hulle die bakkie en sleepwa vol volstruisies op die N12 opgemerk het.Die eende en swane was twee-twee in ‘n eierboks verpak, agterop die bakkie, met geen vars lug, kos of water nie. Die jong volstruisies het in die bloedige hitte agterop die sleepwa rondgeval en verskeie snye en nek en vlerk-wonde opgedoen. Daar was geen kos of water gehad op die sleepwa nie. Alhoewel daar kos agterop die bakkie was, was daar geen water of houers waarin water gegee kon word nie. Die volstruise het gulsig uit die polisie se waterbottels gedrink. Die

sleepwa is met ‘n growwe net toegespan en die verskrikte voels se nekke het verstrengel geraak in die touwerk. Van die jonger volstuisies is vertrap deur die groteres. (sien die fotogallery www.tametimes.co.za). Die rit van Carolina het volgens Jose 10:00 die oggend begin – 5 en ‘n half uur later is hulle deur die reaksie-eenheid afgetrek.Die vinnige en professionele optrede van die personeel van die Albertonse DBV, Thomas Klaas en die Bestuurder …….. het daartoe gelei dat al die voëls veilig afgelaai is en van water en kos voorsien is. Dr Karen Rademeyer het gesê die voëls gaan eers kans gegee word om te kalmeer alvorens sy hulle individueel gaan ondersoek. Volgengs die Angloeese burger, Jose, was hy van Carolina oppad met die volstruisies, swane en eende na OR Tambo van waar die voëls na Angola toe uitgevoer sou word. Al die permitte in besit van ene Jose was egter foutief vir verskeie redes:

Die sleepwa was nie gelisensieerd nie en het ook nie ‘n wettige nommerplaat opgehad nie. tame TIMES het die EMPD gebel maar hulle het versuim om iemand uit te stuur.Die voëls sal slegs aan die eienaar terugbesorg word indien hy die nodige dokumente vir die vervoer van die voëls bring en Dr Rademeyer die voëls geskik vir vervoer verklaar.

20 Volstruise, twee swane en twee eende is Saterdagmiddag deur die DbV se alberton-tak gekonfiskeer.

back to the future! As jy so op jou bank gelê het die vakansie en na ou flieks gekyk het, sou jy sien in “Back to the future 2” reis Marty McFly van 1985 na 2015. En dis toe wat jy besef: dis 2015! Die toekoms is hier! Maar net toe jy in jou blink oorpakkie in jou supersoniese vaartuig gou Spar toe wou vlieg, om van daardie miniatuur pizzatjies te gaan koop wat woeps-waps in groot pizzas verander, besef jy: jy besit nie silwer klere nie en al hoekom jou kar nie wiele het nie is omdat die bande laasnag afgesteel is. En, o ja, daardie pizzas is ook nog nie op die mark nie. Om een of ander rede, in flieks wat oor die toekoms handel, vlieg almal altyd rond in ruimtetuigies, dra silwer of goue klere wat te styf sit, en het robotte vir vriende. Dalk het ek net te veel Buck Rogers-reekse gekyk. Die toekoms lyk toe eintlik glad nie so anders soos al die TV-reekse en flieks voorspel het nie: ons ry nog in gewone motors rond en pizza kom nog steeds in ‘n boks so groot, dit sal nooit vanself in ‘n standaard, groen, Alberton-asblik pas nie. Maar, dan weer, as jy mooi daaroor gaan nadink het die lewe eintlik, in sekere opsigte, drasties verander sedert 1985. Behalwe die politieke veranderinge in die land, is daar eintlik te veel goed om op te noem. Soos: die melkman lewer nie meer melk by jou voordeur af nie, jy moet dit self aflewer; jy kyk nie meer flieks op ‘n TV-stel so groot en swaar soos ‘n sumo-stoeier, of gaan huur videobande met flieks op by die videowinkel wat jy op jou videomasjien speel nie; niemand skryf meer vir mekaar briewe en pos dit in ‘n posbus by die poskantoor nie; ons het selfone, skootrekenaars, i-pads, die internet, dstv, pvr... So, al vlieg ons nog nie rond op skateboards, of gaan ons voordeure elektronies oop soos in Back to the Future nie, ten minste gaan daar baie meer aan by die druk van ‘n knoppie in 2015 as in 1985. Dis nou te sê as die krag nie af is, of jy in die swembad gespring het met jou selfoon in jou sak nie.

{a note from the editor}

January is a busy time all over the world. South Africa, however, is experiencing January as extra busy this year. The Matric results were released on 5 January and made public on the 6th, causing emotions to run high. For all of the Matrics of 2014, this day marked the end of an era so to speak, but also new beginnings for each and every one.

Tomorrow marks a new beginning for Grade 1 learners. The first day of school is here. For the next 12 years, they will be working towards the same goal. My wish for all our readers this year is that you will find time for yourself, try new things, spend time with your family, and the create the ability to put the negative experiences of 2014 behind you. Remember to follow us on all your social networks and tag yourself in our photos. For daily updates on what’s happening around you, check out our website at www.tametimes.co.za.

Liam Willemse is ready to start school tomorrow. Good luck, Liam!

Once again it is the rainy season and it is time for big game viewing on our highways and byways. For those who could not afford a trip to the Kruger National Park during December, this is great news. Your holiday destination choices might have been limited to Romania (remain here) or the Garden Route (from your front yard to your back yard; but now all you need to enjoy the urban wildlife of Jozi is access to our roads via either public or private transport, and big five game viewing is yours for the taking. First on the list is the elephant pothole. This is any lesion in the road surface too large for the average sedan to fit between its wheels. It forms either from one of those cracks in the tarmac that mysteriously mutates into a monster after a few November rainstorms or is created when heavy traffic encourages a

few adjacent potholes to coalesce into one huge crater in the road. The second largest pothole is the lion. As the king of the beasts, this one naturally attracts the most attention. It is deep enough to damage tyres and wheels, but its diameter will always fit comfortably between the wheels of ordinary sedans driven by alert motorists. When in traffic, you will always spot it if you keep your eyes on the brake-lights and steering patterns of the drivers in front of you. It was in honour of this category of pothole that the bumper sticker “I’m not drunk – just avoiding potholes,” was printed.The third category of road lesion that pothole-watchers will want to look out for is the rhino. This is the easiest to spot. It is always sign-posted with poles, red-and-white striped tape or other creative methods, such as brightly coloured pizza boxes on sticks or home-

made signage. This is what makes it a rhino pothole – because no traffic can pass over it to enlarge it, its future is endangered. Hyena potholes are generally small, but interesting. Named after the scavengers of the bushveld because they are patched with odd bits of tarmac, filled with sand or gravel but never properly fixed with proper materials - they lurk in odd corners of the roads and display furtive behaviour.The fifth kind of pothole is the most dangerous because it is invisible. During heavy rains, any of the above four categories can mutate into this cruel and cold-blooded reptile. So, be wary when driving on unknown roads in the rain - the crocodile pothole lurks under rain puddles, dragging tyres under the water and gnawing on the rims. This season, stay alert, stay alive and stay out of potholes!

Safe holidaySin brackendownSSucceSSful brackendownS arreStS

Brackendowns SAPS had a very successful December, showing that their hard work and dedication is truly paying off.After a robbery at a construction site in Southdowns, one suspect was caught on site, while three more ran away. The arrested suspect showed Brackendowns SAPS where the other suspects could be found and two more arrests were made. One suspect is still at large. The suspects were convicted and received sentences of life imprisonment plus 25 years.

Then, on 1 January 2015, a BMW-driver pulled in at a petrol station at around 06:30. The attendant notified the driver that the card machine was out of order and they could only accept cash. The driver allegedly then pulled a gun and pointed it at the attendant, who filled up the tank and sped off in the BMW without paying. Brackendowns SAPS tracked down the previous owner of the car, who had sold it a few months prior to the incident. The dealership helped them track down the current owner.

A white BMW was stolen during a robbery on 26 September 2014 and tracked to Orange Farm the day after. When police approached the vehicle, the occupants fled the scene after a shoot-out occurred, leaving a 16-year-old boy behind, who told police that the vehicle belonged to his uncle. Due to strong evidence against him, a man was arrested and convicted to 20 years imprisonment on 3 December 2014. At the time, he was out on parole for previous convictions, which included robbery, housebreakings and rape.WELL DONE: Detective Captain Jele, Sgt Lindi Moloi and Detective

The woman pictured above is using a stolen ID book to open accounts and buy goods all over South Africa. She allegedly replaced the picture of the complainant with her own.If you have any information, please contact investigating officer Detective Mohamed on 073 465 1429.

Alberton Council should switch off our street lights during the day so that Eskom can keep the rest of our lights on. Cities like Benoni and Brakpan have light sensors that switch theirs off at dawn and switch them back on at dusk, whereas Alberton is load adding in a way that could lead to load shedding.Why should Alberton residents diligently remove cellphone-chargers from plugs, switch off their TVs at the wall, run shallow baths, let their pools go green, have expensive braais instead of cooking their dinners in the kitchen, stop using tumble-dryers, leave their hair unstyled and pay their rates in the dark when the Council is failing so miserably in its patriotic duty?Councillors, please look into this matter ASAP!Regards,Green Alberton Resident

drug-dealer caughtBrackendowns reaction team Warrant Officer Cretien and Sergeant Thomas were patrolling in sector 1, Brackendowns area when they noticed a suspicious-looking car. They stopped and searched the car and found the suspect in possession of drugs wrapped in black plastic bags. The suspect was arrested for dealing in drugs and appeared at the Palm Ridge Court on 6 January.

Cable theft at Alberton Football Club left the club with damage of more than R750 000. The club closed on 19 December last year for the holidays, during which time they received a call from CPS Security, informing them that one of the electricity boxes was damaged. On 5 January, it was established that all the boxes were broken into and stripped of cables.‘’This causes a ripple effect,’’ Ron Gellatly said. The junior registration is supposed to take place in the second week of February, and the players practise at night. This affects 35 Junior teams, six Senior teams, two Veteran teams, two Ladies teams as well as seven teams in the Castle League.According to Mike Hart, the situation could take up to 12 weeks to resolve. With the insurance that will take around six weeks to sort out, plus another six weeks to fix the problem, players will not be able to practise until March.‘’Some of the facilities are outsourced, which we can’t do now, leading to loss of the income we sourced from there,’’ Ron explained. He further said that the money that’s going into the repairs, should be used for service delivery.

DAMAGES OF R750 000-PLUS: The boxes were stripped of all their cables.

Figures SA National FinalsThe much anticipated Figures SA National Finals took place over the weekend of 12 December at the Roodepoort Theatre. There were contestants from all over South Africa ranging in age from 2 to 23 years. The categories, which included an Open Teacher’s division, were each sub-divided into three sections – ramp model, fashion model and commercial model.

The competition was mind blowing, very exciting and the cherry on the top was our very own Miss South Africa being crowned Miss World during the announcing of the Figures winners. Figures Alberton did themselves proud, claiming 21 top-scorers, two winners, two second places and three third places during this prestigious modelling event.Well done to all the finalists who participated in the finals and thank you, Figures SA, for giving our stars a chance to shine. Who knows if – maybe one day – one of our stars will be Miss World too!

The name January is derived from the Latin name “Januaris” which refers to the Roman god of gates and doorways. As we enter the gates of 2015 we tend to look back at the past and, more importantly, forward to the coming year. It is a time to reflect on changes we want or need to make. New Year’s resolutions will be declared with optimism and the intention is to make each year better than the last. Yet, many people are unable to achieve their goals, with some even throwing in the towel after a week or two.The University of Scranton conducted a study on New Year’s Resolutions and came up with the following results: So why should you set goals for 2015 if none of your good intentions paid off in the past? Experts believe that people who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who do not explicitly make resolutions. Thus, you have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

Tragic deathfor VelVeT

Velvet was killed by a red ford ranger on 27 December.on 27 December at 10:45, I was walking my chocolate labrador, Velvet, on Penzance road in New redruth, says the writer:She was on a lead and we were both walking on the pavement. Suddenly an African male driver in a bright red new model Ford Ranger with bullbars and a GP number plate came speeding down the road. He proceeded to jump the pavement on the corner of Launceston and Penzance Roads and hit my dog’s head at an enormous speed. She died on impact and despite several pleas from myself for the driver to stop, he continued to speed down the road without any concern. A young man who lives on Telewarren Street was kind enough to assist me and walked me home to fetch my husband and my vehicle to take Velvet to the vet. Unfortunately, due to the trauma of the incident, neither I nor the witness were able to take down a number plate. Michelle at Paws in Motion Vet confirmed that Velvet had died on impact and so we left the vet, leaving our best friend and companion behind at the tender age of two years. I would like to ask the public please to be on the lookout for this vehicle. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I am also hoping to make everyone else in the area who walks their dogs more vigilant and aware of the need to avoid this vehicle. I would like to thank the gentleman on his bicycle and Paws in Motion vet for their amazing help. We would also like to thank the members of the Alberton community who have responded to this incident with such compassion on social media. Please contact me with any information on [email protected] or 011 481 5103.

I have observed a number of damaged and removed signs in Verwoerdpark and recently a sign was left propped up against my gate! I had to ask someone to remove it - if I push it, it will damage the paving. I have notified EMM regarding this too. This proves that the problem is not caused by EMM Roads Department not replacing signs, but vandals stealing and damaging them.Official comment from Themba Gadebe, spokesperson for EMM:

The theft and vandalism of signs and manhole covers is an ongoing problem. Where possible the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality replaces them with a material that has a low metal content. For traffic signs, this not always possible. Signs must also comply with the SA Road Traffic Sign Manual. The Verwoerd Park area will be inspected for missing or damaged signs, which will be replaced.

Verwoerdpark resident writes:

SIGN OF VANDALISM: This road sign was left propped up against a gate in Verwoerdpark.

Not pedestrian-friendlyClr Michael Kriek writes:

The Environmental Department decided to prune the trees in the middle of November, but left all the branches behind on the pavements. All they did was to cut the thick branches up into short pieces and remove those immediately. The rest of the branches were left behind in the pathway of the pavements. Pedestrians have to walk in the streets because of this. On enquiry I was told that they do not have any transport to remove the branches. Nobody can maintain the pavements now. So the question is: how do you decide to trim trees if you do not have the equipment to complete the job?

SINCE NOVEMBER: Pruned branches have been left lying on pavements.

Victim empowerment volunteers wantedThe Germiston police are in the process of improving their Victim Empowerment Centre. There is currently a need to increase the number of volunteers who are available to ensure that an effective service is rendered to the community. Victim empowerment involves the following four basic elements, namely: emotional support, practical support, providing and receiving information and referral to professional support services.Training of volunteers has kindly been agreed to by Epworth and is expected to take place on Saturday mornings for about eight weeks. Certificates will be issued to volunteers on their successful completion of the course.Volunteers should be older than 21 years. They receive no payment or stipends and should also take note that their volunteering will not lead to their being employed either by the police or by Epworth. Vetting will be done before the training.Persons who are interested in becoming victim empowerment volunteers or who are already trained should please contact Epworth on 011 827 5732.

CPf MeetingThe first Brackendowns CPF meeting will be held on 26 January at the EWC Campus. 18:00 for 18:30.

Gelukkige 2015 almal! Hier is ons weer aan die begin van ‘n hele nuwe jaar wat soos ‘n oop boek voor ons lê. Om die okkasie te merk het ek en Gysie vanjaar afgeskop met ‘n lekker braai by vriende. Net voor 12 was almal gereed met vonkelwyn, reg om die nuwe jaar te vier. Om 12 uur begin dit reën en ek dink by myself dat dit ‘n goeie teken is, ons was 2014 af en begin skoon. Baie tevrede met my diep gedagtes besluit ek oudergewoonte dat híérdie jaar, MY jaar gaan wees.Die aand verloop goed, daar is heerlike musiek wat speel, die reën het 2014 afgewas, ons is almal gelukkig. Op ‘n stadium begin ‘n liedjie speel wat almal baie opgewonde het en Gysie spring op. Julle, die stoel pootjie vir Gysie, sy een skoen trek 2m na links en hy begin hardloop om sy balans te herwin. ‘n Goeie 5m later gee hy ‘n sprongetjie om ‘n trap te mis en wragtag kom hy regop anderkant uit! Ek dink toe dat dit ook ‘n goeie teken is. Tot Gysie sy broek gryp en agter die huis gaan staan. Tydens die hele proses het sy broeksknoop verloor en die ritsluiter het sommer besluit om te groet. Hoewel ek baie (BAIE) gelag het, het ek gehoop dat dít nie ‘n voorspelling is van hoe 2015 gaan wees nie…

TIP: Die jaar is ‘n boek wat wag om geskryf te word, maak dit ‘n topverkoper!

So kom die feesgety tot ‘n einde hierdie week, en so te sê almal is terug by die werk. Ek bid jou n baie voorspoedige jaar toe.

Aimee Mullens het n beweging begin waarin vreemdes en bekendes hulle hoop en drome openbaar in die gedeelde publieke spasies waarin hulle leef. Jy kan gaan kyk daarna by www.beforeidie.ccGeinspireeerd deur haar stories wil ek in hierdie eerste uitgawe vir jou vra om te dink oor die volgende sin, en dalk dit te waag om jou eie hoop vir 2015 neer te pen. Plak dit iewers op en leef dit dan deur die loop van die jaar raak.Ek hoop dat in 2015 ...Ek hoop regtig dat elkeen in 2015 iets nuuts sal beleef, dat ons sal lag tot ons maa-gspiere kramp, dat ons sal ontdek wat dit beteken om mens te wees. Die Here gaan deur jou en my werk, laat ons met vreugde daarna uitsien!!

Eskom’s Khulu Phasiwe recently stated that from the second week of January until March, the electricity system will be under severe pressure as big industries open for the New Year.City Power believes it is therefore important that residents of Johannesburg, and business and domestic customers of City Power, take the statement as a challenge to mitigate the possibility of load shedding. City Power and the City of Johannesburg remain committed to finding permanent solutions and ways to mitigate the possibility of load shedding in the city. Among the measures they are looking into are the following:- The installations of smart technologies such as smart meters, which will enable them to manage electricity loads and electricity consumption across the city of Johannesburg.

- Expanding the geyser control systems to more residential areas across the city, thus further enabling the remote management of the energy consumption of customer geysers.- The installation of solar water heaters, which will contribute to the reduction of the cost of heating water by electric kettles, stoves and conventional geysers - which are high electricity consuming appliances in the home.- Installation of light bulbs (both in buildings and on street lights) which are energy efficient.- City Power will continue to work closely with Eskom in their joint attempt to find a permanent solution to load shedding and other forms of power interruptions such as cable theft and vandalism of the electricity network.

City Power will be establishing a partnership with large power users and key customers to assist them to manage their electricity usage with the aim of ensuring that they use only the amount of electricity needed to run their business operations. Business customers can assist by being part of this initiative when approached by City Power.Business customers are encouraged to switch on only those machines that are necessary to run their production and switch off all those that are not critical for their production.Business customers that can afford to do so are encouraged to install energy-efficient machinery, equipment and lighting in their buildings.Where possible businesses can install large windows and doors that allow more natural light into their buildings so that that they depend on natural lighting rather than switching on lights in their offices and factories during the day.Business is further urged to switch off computers, lights, printers and other electric equipment after working hours and to open windows for fresh air instead of using air conditioners on the factory floor and in the office.

Switch off pool pumps.Any appliance that is not in use at any specific time must be switched off.Open windows and doors for fresh air and to cool yourself and reduce the use of air conditioners and fans.In most cases the Johannesburg weather is fantastic for the outdoors. Where possible, families should take full advantage of the Johannesburg sun by cooking or having a braai outside the house. This will save a significant amount of electricity which would have been consumed by an electric stove. It will also save money.

Twelve people were killed after two gunmen stormed the offices of satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, France on Wednesday. Among those killed was the magazine’s editor, Stephane Charbonnier. A police officer was gunned down in the street as the men fled the scene. By Thursday an 18-year-old had handed himself over to police and the two suspected gunmen had identified in the media as brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi. On Friday the brothers were gunned downed as they fled a warehouse north of Paris, firing at police. Shortly afterwards in eastern Paris, police stormed a supermarket where hostages were held by a gunman with reported links to the brothers. The gunman and four hostages died. (NoW.com)

businesses brace for power cuTsBusiness is bracing itself for more disruptions in the coming week as the end of the festive season is set to put a further strain on Eskom, which warned on Wednesday that the risk of power cuts was rising as the reopening of mines, factories and schools loomed.South Africans have enjoyed an uninterrupted supply of electricity for close to a month, thanks to the year-end holiday lull. It gave Eskom a chance to do much needed maintenance work and the opportunity to replenish its depleted diesel fuel supplies and water reserves for the pumped-storage schemes which use water to generate electricity.

a result of being unable to vomit. One of the main functions of vomiting is to purge the body of toxic

substances. Because rats cannot vomit, they have other strategies to defend themselves against toxins - like super-sensitive

food-avoidance learning. When rats discover a new food, they taste a little, and if it makes them sick they scrupulously avoid it, using their

acute senses of taste and smell. [http://www.ratbehavior.org/vomit.htm]

A glimpse into 2015 from Back to the Future Part II It’s not every actor who has the longevity to work with the likes of

both Alfred Hitchcock andQuentin Tarantino. But Rod Taylor had it.The Australian actor, whose leading-man looks and solid presence kept him working in Hollywood for six decades, died on Wednesday at the age of 84. The news was announced by his daughter Felicia Taylor, a former CNN correspondent. Though he racked up dozens of film and TV credits over the years, Taylor was perhaps best known for starring opposite Tippi Hedren in The Birds, playing an eligible bachelor who catches the eye of a socialite and then ends up having to protect her and his family from a squadron of murderous birds in the Hitchcock classic.

Your baby is starting big school and the excitement has been growing - but as the

day looms ever closer you and your child may start to feel a little jumpy. For your

little one, most of the anxiety is about the great unknown. He or she has never

been to school as a fully-fledged, uniform-wearing student and simply does not

know what to expect.

tame TIMES 14 May 2013 13 January 2015Page 18 tame TIMES

Society places emphasis on Matric results as a gauge of intellectual competence and discipline, and while many believe that the pressures of Matric end with the final exam, the announcement of Matric results is a powerful - and potentially dangerous - stressor for many school-leavers.Matric learners really feel the pressure of social competitiveness, the worry of disappointing family and bursars or a sense of doom should they fail. This is partly because of the emotional development stage at which these youngsters find themselves – adolescents often believe they are immortal and nothing bad can happen to them.Nevertheless, when the Basic Education Department recently announced the Matric results, not all candidates were celebrating.For parents, having a child with poor Matric results is disappointing and may even be shameful, as they may perceive their child’s failure as a reflection on themselves and their parenting skills, which can exacerbate an already volatile situation.However, it is important for parents to remain calm and supportive, as they try to figure out the next move for their child, who is probably experiencing a combination of mixed emotions: disappointment, hopelessness, anger, and so on. The parent’s primary role is to provide support during this difficult time, prioritizing their child’s mental, emotional and physical health. Emotional support is critical, as the onset of depression can be a real possibility. And try to keep this in mind: it is unlikely that your child took their exams with the intention of failing. On its website, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) highlights some of the signs and symptoms of suicide in teens. It states that, though not all depressed people are suicidal, most suicidal people are depressed. Depression manifests in a number of ways that may include a loss of interest in things your child used to enjoy doing, a sense of worthlessness, a change in sleeping and eating patterns, and thoughts and talk about death and suicide, among many others. If symptoms such as these occur on most

days for an ongoing period of two weeks or more, parents should seek professional help.

Keeping a tab on what your child is talking about on social networking

sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, can offer you insight

into their mindset. Many teenagers choose

these platforms to express how they

feel rather than talking to their parents.

In the process, they may come across Facebook

updates from peers who have passed Matric successfully, which

could intensify their distress.If you believe your child is depressed,

try talking to them. Laying blame is not productive, and may even cause further feelings of hopelessness. Coming up with solutions and instilling feelings of hope are important at this time.

Some options for those who have failed Matric are:• Repeat Grade 12• Re-write the subjects that were failed• Sign up for a course that does not require Matric as a prerequisite

Naturally, you need to talk to your child to assess what they would like to do regarding their future. The answers to the following questions can help to determine which options are best:

• Do they want to go to university? • Would they be better off at a technikon?• Are they ready to enter the working world?

In addition, finding out what might have caused their bad grades may give an indication of your child’s capabilities. Factors such as bullying, poor teaching or simply hanging out with the wrong crowd might have caused the failure - or it could be that your child does not have the aptitude for the mainstream education system and may do better at vocational training.Communicate to your child that failing Matric is not the end of the world. While it is a setback and rather disappointing, a bright future can still be achieved by maintaining a positive outlook and making the right decisions.

Tips for first-timers at school:Normalize those feelings of nervousness. Tell your kids that it everyone feels a little nervous and worried when starting a new phase of life and that these feelings are very normal.Talk freely and regularly about starting school and start to prepare the child as early as possible. Make it a dinner-time subject and encourage kids to talk about what they are feeling. If there is something particular that they are nervous about, try to encourage them to talk about it.Do a dry run. If they are overly concerned about the whole process, plan a “practice” school day when they get up in the morning, put on their uniform, pack their bags and walk or drive to school.Eat a packed lunch at home. Some kids worry about accessing their lunches, or may not be used to bringing lunch from home. Help them write a list of what they might like in their lunch box, and have a couple of “packed lunch” days beforehand.Draw up a schoolday schedule. Children love routines and when they start school their usual routine will change. Work with them to write up a daily routine and discuss with them how the day will work.Organize a play date. If you know of other children who will be starting with your child, arrange for them to play together a few times. On the first day they will appreciate seeing a familiar face in the schoolyard.

After such a lovely summer break, it is understandable if your school veteran is reluctant to go back to school and all the structure and rules that go with it. Many kids suffer from the post-holiday blues and do not want their idyllic summer to end. This is a normal reaction.If their anxiety or reluctance seems extreme, however; or if they are really feeling down, there may be something particular bothering them. Try to get them to verbalize what is wrong, although they may not really know what it is. It could be as simple as being worried about which class they will be in, or they may be nervous about coping in a higher grade. Maybe they have an unresolved issue from the previous year.

It may be difficult to work out what the problem is and how to deal with it. As far as they are concerned, they do not like school and the solution to the problem is not to go there. Obviously, parents have to make it clear that attending school is a given, but they can help children come up with

solutions and strategies to make their time there

more enjoyable. Serious issues like bullying or learning d i f f i c u l t i e s , however, will need to be taken

up with the school.

It is not at all unusual for parents to suffer from anxiety about their child or children going off to school, with parents of first-timers having to deal with their little baby’s new status as a “big school” child.Parents should attend all the transition days with their child and take advantage of being able to talk to the school staff and other parents. If possible, parents should chat to other parents whose kids are already at school.It can help ease the anxiety to get some inside knowledge beforehand, for example, to find out where to drop off and pick up your child.Before your family knows it, the school year will be back in full swing with the Easter holidays beckoning.

Alberton Angling Club – December results

MONSTER CATCH: Mark Slabbert caught a 10,57kg Barbel.

Emirates Airline and the Lions Super Rugby Team recently announced a five-year sponsorship agreement. The agreement will see Emirates become the title sponsor of the Lions Super Rugby team and have naming rights to the Lions home ground Ellis Park in Johannesburg. The announcement was made at a media conference in December by Orhan Abbas, Emirates Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations for Latin America, Southern and Central Africa, and Rudolf Straeuli, the CEO of the Golden Lions Rugby Union.Starting from 1 January 2015, the Lions have become known as the Emirates Lions, and the “Fly Emirates” logo will adorn the match and training jerseys of the team for the next five years. Ellis Park will be named Emirates Airline Park. The agreement also includes in-stadia hospitality, as well as a number of other marketing rights and activities. “Emirates is a strong champion of rugby worldwide and South Africa is one of the top rugby-playing nations with very passionate supporters. We are therefore delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor one of the country’s most popular and established teams. It’s the first major sponsorship by Emirates of a South African team, and this will certainly raise the visibility of the Emirates brand not just here, but also in our key markets of New Zealand and Australia where the Super Rugby competition is played, and a number of other markets in which the games are televised,” said Mr Abbas. “Our new association with the Lions enables us to be part of Ellis Park, which is an historical

and famous venue in the country, most notably for hosting the Rugby World Cup final in 1995 which South Africa won. This was the same year in which Emirates first started operations to the country, and today we enable trade and provide connections for South Africans from Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg to Dubai and beyond to our network of more than 140 destinations around the world,” he added.“At the Golden Lions Rugby Union we pride ourselves on growth and performance,” said Straeuli. “We are thus thrilled to partner with Emirates – a world leader in its field who is constantly looking to expand and develop. We are tremendously grateful to Emirates for their support and belief. It is wonderful to have financial stability, as a result of the support from this international, iconic brand, over the next five years.” “We are looking forward to working closely together in not only developing rugby at grassroots level in both South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, but also expanding the game of rugby across the globe. As 2015 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Springboks’ 1995 Rugby World Cup win at Ellis Park, it is exciting for us to have secured Emirates as a stadium sponsor from next year. We know that we will share many more happy memories, alongside Emirates, at this hallowed ground,” he added.The Emirates Lions kick off their 2015 Super Rugby campaign on Friday 13 February 2015, when they take on the Hurricanes of New Zealand at Emirates Airline Park.
