Triplets and twins 'confuse' teachers at King Williams Town Primary<br />
HAPPY PUPILS: The five sets of twins and a set of triplets pose for a picture<br />
at King Williams Town Primary<br />
KING Williams Town primary<br />
has this year enrolled a<br />
'unique' set of pupils... 5 sets<br />
of twins and a set of triplets.<br />
The 13 pupils are spread into<br />
different grades … 2 sets of<br />
twins are in Grade R along<br />
with the triplets, while the other<br />
twins are in Grades 2 and<br />
3.<br />
It is the first time in the<br />
schools' history that the<br />
school has admitted so many<br />
twins and a set of triplets.<br />
School Secretary / Bursar,<br />
D<br />
Wendy Lentz said:' It is a<br />
challenge to the teachers to<br />
distinguish between the<br />
twins and triplets'.<br />
And to add to their confusion<br />
'some of them in Grade R<br />
wear identical outfits on occasion.<br />
“But I suppose in time they<br />
the teachers will get to spot<br />
the difference between them,'<br />
said Wendy.<br />

Triplets and twins 'confuse' teachers<br />
at King Williams Town Primary<br />
Continued on Pg. 02...<br />
The triplets are: Khazimla,<br />
Sambesiwe and Yenzokuhle<br />
Mdudo, and the twins are<br />
Hlumela and Phumela Dimba;<br />
Luhle and Lunje Makehle;<br />
Nathi and Siwaphiwe Mbilase,<br />
Bunje and Lunje Nzima; and<br />
Sanele and Kungawo Bistoli.<br />
When asked how they felt<br />
about all been at the same<br />
school, most agreed that it<br />
'was great and we love it here'.<br />
'The teachers are very nice to<br />
us and we dress alike to confuse<br />
them,' said one of the<br />
triplets, adding that 'if we are<br />
naughty they (the teachers)<br />
get confused and cannot<br />
pick the naughty one out!!!'<br />
Wendy concluded:” It's double<br />
and triple trouble for the<br />
teachers but we are proud to<br />
have them at King Williams<br />
Town Primary and so far they<br />
are a lovable bunch and fit in<br />
well with all the other pupils.<br />

St Thomas Private school introduces new uniforms<br />
THE dictum: ‘The old order<br />
changeth, yielding place to<br />
new’- is nowhere more<br />
appropriate than in the<br />
decision to introduce a<br />
change of uniform for St<br />
Thomas Private School.<br />
After 15 years with the old<br />
uniform, the school decided<br />
to introduce a new uniform, in<br />
tandem with the ever<br />
changing world.<br />
A consultative process<br />
engaging all the relevant<br />
stakeholders in the designing<br />
of the new uniform paid<br />
dividends, with the idea,<br />
originally mooted in <strong>20</strong>13,<br />
finally coming to fruition at the<br />
end of <strong>20</strong>16, with the school<br />
NEW LOOK: St Thomas Private School learners in the new uniform the<br />
school had adopted and will phase in over a few years<br />
succeeding in inaugurating a<br />
new uniform for<br />
implementation beginning<br />
January <strong>20</strong>17.<br />
To obviate any financial<br />
difficulties for parents and<br />
guardians, uniforms will be<br />
phased-in until <strong>20</strong>19.<br />
The core colours: black, grey<br />
and orange were retained.<br />
The new uniforms for both<br />
boys and girls are as shown<br />
in the pictures below.<br />
Calling in Sick<br />
Negotiations between union members<br />
and their employer were at an<br />
impasse. The union denied that their<br />
workers were flagrantly abusing their<br />
contract's sick-leave provisions.<br />
One morning at the bargaining table,<br />
the company's chief negotiator held<br />
aloft the morning edition of the<br />
newspaper, "This man," he<br />
announced, "called in sick yesterday!"<br />
There on the sports page, was a photo<br />
of the supposedly ill employee, who<br />
had just won a local golf tournament<br />
with an excellent score.<br />
The silence in the room was broken by<br />
a union negotiator. "Wow," he said.<br />
"Just think of what kind of score he<br />
could have had if he hadn't been sick!"<br />
The Amazing Golf Ball<br />
Two friends went out to play golf and<br />
were about to tee off, when one fellow<br />
noticed that his partner had but one<br />
golf ball.<br />
"Don't you have at least one other golf<br />
ball?", he asked. The other guy<br />
replied that no, he only needed the one.<br />
"Are you sure?", the friend persisted.<br />
"What happens if you lose that ball?"<br />
The other guy replied, "This is a very<br />
special golf ball. I won't lose it so I<br />
don't need another one."<br />
Well," the friend asked, "what happens<br />
if you miss your shot and the ball goes<br />
in the lake?"<br />
"That's okay," he replied, "this special<br />
golf ball floats. I'll be able to retrieve it."<br />
"Well what happens if you hit it into the<br />
trees and it gets lost among the<br />
bushes and shrubs?"<br />
The other guy replied, "That's okay too.<br />
You see, this special golf ball has a<br />
homing beacon. I'll be able to get it<br />
back -- no problem."<br />
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay.<br />
Let's say our game goes late, the sun<br />
goes down, and you hit your ball into a<br />
sand trap. What are you going to do<br />
then?"<br />
"No problem," says the other guy, "you<br />
see, this ball is florescent. I'll be able<br />
to see it in the dark."<br />
Finally satisfied that he needs only the<br />
one golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey,<br />
where did you get a golf ball like that<br />
anyway?"<br />
The other guy replies, "I found it."<br />
Stupid Soccer Commentary<br />
Actual Remarks Made by Soccer<br />
Commentators<br />
1. Well, it's Liverpool two, Ipswich nil,<br />
and if the score stays this way, I've got<br />
to fancy Liverpool for the win.<br />
2. He had an eternity to play that ball,<br />
but took too long.<br />
3. And so they have not been able to<br />
improve on their 100% record.<br />
4. With the last kick of the game, he<br />
scored with a header.<br />
5. Well, it's a fabulous kaleidoscope<br />
of colour: almost all the Brazilians are<br />
wearing yellow shirts.<br />
6. If that had gone on, it would<br />
definitely have been a goal.<br />
7. Their manager, Howard Wilkinson,<br />
isn't here today, which strongly<br />
suggests that he may be elsewhere.<br />
8. I am a firm believer that if one team<br />
scores a goal, the other need to<br />
score two to win.<br />
9. If a team scores early on, it often<br />
takes an early lead.<br />
10. You cannot possibly have<br />
counted the number of passes made,<br />
but there were eight.

Pedro de Abreu marks <strong>20</strong><br />
years service at King Lions<br />
TWENTY years of membership in an<br />
organisation is a sure sign of loyalty,<br />
commitment and dedication and,<br />
when that organisation is a service<br />
club like the King William’s Town<br />
Lions Club it shows a deep care and<br />
concern for the community and a<br />
desire to serve others.<br />
Local businessman Lion Pedro de<br />
Abreu and his wife, Lady Lion Diane,<br />
oficially jioned the King Lions in 1996,<br />
was recognised recently by Lions<br />
Clubs International and his home club,<br />
King William’s Town, for twenty years’<br />
membership, making him currently<br />
the third longest serving member of<br />
the Club.<br />
Although his long business hours<br />
makes it difficult for Lion Pedro to be<br />
at all of the meetings and projects<br />
that he would love to attend, he and<br />
Lions Lady Diane have been hard<br />
workers and staunch supporters,<br />
personally and through their business,<br />
of the KWT Lions Club and its<br />
activities, even from before accepting<br />
membership of the Organisation.<br />
Pedro’s father and son are also past<br />
members of the Club and they, too,<br />
still have service of the community at<br />
heart.<br />
Lions and other service club<br />
members are volunteers. They give<br />
freely of their time, their skills and<br />
their means to improve the lives of<br />
those less fortunate in the community.<br />
It costs Lions financially to belong to<br />
an international organisation but they<br />
consider the cost to be little<br />
compared to the satisfaction of<br />
serving others, whether they be the<br />
elderly, the young, the hungry and<br />
homeless, those visually or hearing<br />
impaired, the environment, animal<br />
CLUB SERVICE: King Lion Pedro de Abreu<br />
receives a <strong>20</strong>-year cerificate from Loins<br />
president Ulrich Hagens<br />
welfare organisations or any of the<br />
many areas in which they are involved.<br />
“The continued membership and<br />
service of community-based and<br />
community-interested people like<br />
Lion Pedro and Lions Lady Diane de<br />
Abreu is what makes the KWT Lions<br />
Club part of such a fine organisation,”<br />
Lion President Ulrich Hagens<br />
commented, “and we sincerely<br />
congratulate them.” Lady Lion Diane<br />
concluded by saying;” It has been like<br />
a 'family affair' with lots of fun but at<br />
the same the pleasure of helping the<br />
needy.'<br />

ON reading one of the<br />
Letters to the Editor in the<br />
latest Bugle, Friday 13 January<br />
<strong>20</strong>17, namely, “The rainbow<br />
nation beacons in the<br />
lightning incident at my<br />
house”, I was initially warmed<br />
by the story.<br />
Halfway through the letter<br />
though, the writer, Mr Dimbaza,<br />
drowned that feeling out<br />
in one foul swoop. Please<br />
note that Mr Dimbaza, in his<br />
letter, classifies the people<br />
helping him into different race<br />
groups.<br />
I quote Mr Dimbaza. “I cannot<br />
apologise for expressing my<br />
anger at how the previous<br />
regime treated me and my<br />
people, just like the current<br />
white generation refuses to<br />
take the blame for the actions<br />
of their fathers”, unquote.<br />

the blame? They were<br />
probably not even born yet<br />
when you suffered the injustices<br />
of the previous regime.<br />
If I do any harm to my fellow<br />
man, it is I who should<br />
rightfully take the blame. Why<br />
would I take the cowardly<br />
route of placing my children<br />
in front of me and expect<br />
them to take the blame for<br />
my actions?<br />
Children of whatever generation,<br />
race, or creed are<br />
certainly not and will never<br />
be responsible for the actions<br />
of their fathers, nor should<br />
they ever be held accountable<br />
and be expected to<br />
apologise for them.<br />
While Mr Dimbaza takes<br />
pleasure in seeing the rainbow<br />
nation at work (his<br />
words) and I am sure that he<br />
thanked them all for coming<br />
to his aid, he at the same time,<br />
stabs a certain race group of<br />
them painfully in the back<br />
with his spear of grudge for<br />
the actions of their fathers.<br />
You, Sir, certainly did not treat<br />
those people as equals as<br />
you so rightfully claim we<br />
should.<br />
The word Ubuntu can easily<br />
be translated into English or<br />
Afrikaans. In English, it is<br />
“benevolence” and even more<br />
beautifully, in Afrikaans it is<br />
“liefdaadigheid, meaning<br />
“deeds of love”.<br />
Ubuntu appears in many,<br />
many forms and those who<br />
are still blinded by the past,<br />
will struggle to see it even<br />
when it is standing right in<br />
front of them and staring<br />
them in the face.<br />

Tips for borrowing wisely:<br />
• Borrow as little money as possible. Borrowing to fund your<br />
children’s education or a home loan can be a good thing, but<br />
borrowing for consumables or to pay off other debt or to fund<br />
luxuries such as holidays or designer clothing can condemn you<br />
to a lifetime of debt. Only borrow for what you really need.<br />
• Avoid paying over too many months as it will cost you more in<br />
the end.<br />
• If there is credit insurance, familiarise yourself with the terms of<br />
the insurance to avoid surprises when you most need the<br />
insurance.<br />
• Be honest - Make sure that you honestly disclose all the<br />
information required by the credit provider. Dishonesty may<br />
cause you to lose the protection offered by the National Credit<br />
Act.<br />
• Create a monthly budget and stick to it - work out how much<br />
income your family earns and what your total expenses are each<br />
month. Will you be able to pay for your new debt once you’ve<br />
covered all your expenses? You should also plan for unexpected<br />
costs such as if one of your family members is retrenched.<br />
• Always keep receipts of your payments as you might need<br />
these in the future.<br />
• Always include savings in your budget.<br />
• Pay your debts on time. Paying late will adversely affect your<br />
credit report and possibly your ability to take out credit in the<br />
future. If you think you cannot meet your monthly instalments,<br />
call your credit provider immediately and try to re-arrange<br />
payments. Do not wait until you skip payments.<br />
• Check your credit report regularly. This way you’ll be able to<br />
identify any errors and correct them. Under the NCA, you are<br />
entitled to one free copy of your credit report each year at any<br />
other time, upon payment of the inspection fee of the credit<br />
bureau if any.

New Education officer appionted at Amathole Museum<br />
FOLLOWING the successive<br />
departure of two museum<br />
educators who took up<br />
promotion posts in <strong>20</strong>16, the<br />
Provincial Department of<br />
Sport Recreation Arts and<br />
Culture has appointed Mr.<br />
Gcina Vani as an education<br />
officer at the museum.<br />
He assumed duty on 3rd<br />
January <strong>20</strong>17.<br />
Gcina was born in Ginsberg<br />
in the early 1980. He counts<br />
himself as blessed with a<br />
beautiful wife and two brilliant<br />
boys.<br />
He did his primary school<br />
education at the Seventh<br />
Day Adventist primary school<br />
in Ginsberg then moved to<br />
Charles Morgan senior<br />
primary school, before<br />
completing his secondary<br />
school learning at Forbes<br />
Grant S.S.S in Ginsberg.<br />
He has previously worked at<br />
the East London museum in<br />
<strong>20</strong>06 as an Auxiliary Services<br />
Officer, from there he moved<br />
to the Head Office of the<br />
Department<br />
Sport<br />
Recreation Arts and Culture<br />
in King William’s Town where<br />
he was stationed in the<br />
libraries and archives section.<br />
During the period he<br />
obtained a Diploma in<br />
Information Technology with<br />
MSC College. He went on to<br />
enrol for and complete a post<br />
graduate diploma in archives<br />
and record management with<br />
the University of Fort Hare.<br />
He is currently registered for<br />
public management training.<br />

Amathole Museum<br />
director Fred Kigozi<br />
welcomes Gcina Vani<br />
as an Education<br />
officer at the museum.<br />
Gcani took up his post<br />
on January 3<br />
educational lessons which<br />
are based on its exhibitions<br />
and in line with the learning<br />
areas, and tailored to<br />
compliment the school<br />
lessons.<br />
This is done in consultation<br />
with the school educators.<br />
The museum also provides<br />
outreach educational<br />
programmes and lessons to<br />
those far flung schools who<br />
would find it difficult to bring<br />
learners to the museum.<br />
Outreach programmes are<br />
better preferred if schools<br />
within a cluster get together<br />
so that the benefit accrues to<br />
several rather than a single<br />
school.<br />

are essential for these<br />
educational offerings.<br />
However, schools are also<br />
very welcome to bring<br />
learners to visit and navigate<br />
on their own through the<br />
several exhibitions at the<br />
museum without any<br />
advance booking.<br />
Amathole museum director<br />
Fred Kigozi says that as part<br />
of its offerings the museum<br />
school also provides special<br />
programmes which are<br />
characterised with learning<br />
and fun, and these include<br />
the school holiday<br />
programme which is normally<br />
conducted for one week after<br />
schools close for holidays.<br />
Feedback from parents of<br />
participating learners, as well<br />
as the learners themselves<br />
has always been very<br />
encouraging.<br />
The museum on certain<br />
occasions partners with<br />
specialist groups and<br />
organisations when offering<br />
this programme and by so<br />
doing is able to impart and<br />
polish on the learners artistic<br />
skills.<br />
'A night at the museum', is<br />
another special programme<br />
which is offered to both<br />
adults and the young.<br />
A themed educational tour of<br />
the galleries is provided<br />
during the late evening and<br />
night hours.<br />
Kigozi goes on to say that<br />
possibly, one of the most<br />
popular and well attended<br />
special programmes for the<br />
museum school is the<br />
quarterly senior citizens<br />
function.<br />
Since January 1990 (27<br />
years ago) Amathole museum<br />
has held “Senior Citizen’s<br />
Tea Parties” once a quarter.<br />
The museum provides<br />
edutainment in the form of a<br />
talk on a topical and relevant<br />
matter, a choir, a fashion<br />
show, or something of the<br />
sort, accompanied by tea,<br />
coffee and eats for elderly<br />
people from local communities<br />
.<br />
What began with three institutions<br />
or centres in 1990, today<br />
stands at about 18<br />
institutions from Breidbach,<br />
King William’s Town, Ginsberg,<br />
Schornville, Zwelitsha,<br />
Dimbaza, Tyutyu village, Mxaxo,<br />
Ngcamngeni, Nonkcampa,<br />
Gobozana and<br />
Mxhalanga villages and others.<br />
The museum, uses its<br />
mini bus and sometimes additional<br />
transport provided by<br />
a local school to transport<br />
some of the elderly citizens<br />
from outlying areas.<br />
This event is greatly appreciated<br />
by the senior citizens.<br />
On average about 75 senior<br />
citizens attend this event<br />
whenever it is hosted.<br />
Schools are welcome to<br />
make bookings for educational<br />
programmes at the museum<br />
during <strong>20</strong>17.<br />

THE BULLDOG RESCUE ANGELS NEED YOU!<br />
Bulldog Rescue Angels<br />
(BRA), a charity that<br />
specialises in rescuing and<br />
rehabilitating bulldogs and<br />
associated breeds needs<br />
your assistance. Next month,<br />
the organisation will host its<br />
second Annual Dog Walk, in<br />
hopes to raise much needed<br />
funds for their voluntary work.<br />
Last year, the event drew<br />
many people with their dogs<br />
of all shapes and sizes,<br />
despite the chilling weather.<br />
Lenell Hattingh, one of the<br />
volunteers and co-founders<br />
of BRA said that it’s been just<br />
under a year since the<br />
organisation was established<br />
and to date, they have<br />
rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed<br />
fifteen dogs<br />
already, fourteen of them<br />
where English Bulldogs and<br />
one Staffordshire Bull Terrier.<br />
“With the assistance from our<br />
sponsors, donors and<br />
members of BRA, we have<br />
been able to give many dogs<br />
new leases on life. All the<br />
hard work and long hours<br />
makes everything we do so<br />
rewarding and worthwhile.<br />
Our last Dog Walk was a<br />
The gang getting ready for their walk<br />
resounding success and<br />
even though it was a cold wet<br />
day, we still received<br />
tremendous support. This<br />
time around, we have<br />
selected a warmer day and<br />
we hope that we get even<br />
more supporters and their<br />
dogs sharing in the fun”, she<br />
said.<br />
Jolanda Voster, from BRA<br />
said that bulldogs in<br />
particular are prone to many<br />
health-related issues that<br />
cannot be established during<br />
puppy stages. “We all agree<br />
that bulldog puppies are<br />
among the cutest baby<br />
animals around. People are<br />
taken aback by those<br />
wrinkles and the cute faces<br />
but many do not look beyond<br />
the ‘awe’ factor. Being a<br />
brachycephalic breed,<br />
bulldogs have breathing<br />
issues which can lead to<br />
heatstroke among other<br />
things. The ears as well as<br />
folds found on the nose and<br />
other regions require regular<br />
anti-bacterial cleaning to<br />
prevent yeast infections and<br />
other associated infections.<br />
Furthermore, these breeds<br />
can ring up quite substantial<br />
veterinary bills,” she said.<br />
BRA commits to seeking<br />
justice for bully breeds by<br />
bringing such breeders and<br />
people to book as well as<br />
rehabilitating abused and<br />
neglected dogs and<br />
ultimately seeking new<br />
homes for these animals.<br />
The organisation urges the<br />
public to assist them by<br />
reporting abused bully<br />
breeds to them as well as<br />
sending anonymous tip offs<br />
about puppy-mills and illegal<br />
breeders.<br />
The Bulldog Rescue Angels<br />
Dog Walk will take place at<br />
the Jan Smuts House in<br />
Centurion on Febuary 12,<br />
<strong>20</strong>17, commencing at 7am till<br />
10am. Entrance is R40 per<br />
person and R10 per dog.<br />
There will be snacks and<br />
refreshments on sale for the<br />
humans at the Tea Garden<br />
and some delicious treat for<br />
the dogs - so bring cash<br />
along with you! There will be<br />
water-points but bring along<br />
bottles of water for you and<br />
your dog.<br />
BRA is also planning their<br />
first ever Golf Day this year<br />
so if you would like to assist<br />
in any way possible you may<br />
contact<br />
BRA<br />

LIFE GETS EASIER FOR<br />
BCM PRE-PAYERS<br />
Buffalo City Metro (BCM) residents<br />
will be pleased to<br />
know that they can now purchase<br />
BCM electricity in the<br />
comfort of their own homes<br />
and no longer have to wait in<br />
long queues.<br />
In October, executive mayor<br />
Xola Phakathi revealed his<br />
action plan for the first 100<br />
days in office to senior BCM<br />
managers, politicians and<br />
the media.<br />
One of many things he promised<br />
was that the metro’s<br />
ratepayers will have a prepayment<br />
system to buy prepaid<br />
electricity through the<br />
internet, ATM and cellphones.<br />
The city finally introduced the<br />
new technology to assist its<br />
challenged electricity vendor<br />
system earlier this month.<br />
In the past, BCM ratepayers<br />
have had to endure long<br />
queues and the weather<br />
when wanting to buy electricity<br />
at vendors.<br />
BCM spokesman Sibusiso<br />
Cindi said the system is functioning<br />
and no challenges<br />
have been experienced.<br />
To be able to do this, you<br />
have to register at<br />
www.wireit.co.za and there<br />
are three steps to follow:<br />
●Step 1<br />
Fill out all the mandatory<br />
fields and necessary details.<br />
(Marked as ‘*’)<br />
A Sure Bet<br />
A strong young man at the<br />
construction site was bragging<br />
that he could outdo anyone in a<br />
feat of strength. He made a<br />
special case of making fun of<br />
Morris, one of the older workmen.<br />
After several minutes, Morris had<br />
enough.<br />
"Why don't you put your money<br />
where your mouth is?" he said. "I<br />
will bet a week's wages that I can<br />
haul something in a wheelbarrow<br />
over to that outbuilding that you<br />
won't be able to wheel back."<br />
"You're on, old man," the braggart<br />
replied. "It's a bet! Let's see what<br />
you got."<br />
Morris reached out and grabbed<br />
the wheelbarrow by the handles.<br />
Then, nodding to the young man,<br />
he said, "All right. Get in."<br />
The Sahara<br />
A large, well established,<br />
Canadian lumber camp<br />
advertised that they were looking<br />
for a good Lumberjack. The very<br />
next day, a skinny little man<br />
The meter number must have<br />
11 digits.<br />
The cellphone number<br />
should be valid and active.<br />
The password must be seven<br />
characters long and have<br />
numbers and characters.<br />
The e-mail address must be<br />
valid and active.<br />
●Step 2 – activate service<br />
●Step 3 – login and use the<br />
online service<br />
Cindi said BCM had not yet<br />
detected which option was<br />
most popular.<br />
“We are not sure yet, it will<br />
depend on [our] customers,<br />
and a time will have to pass<br />
for BCM to assess which<br />
functions are most popular,”<br />
he said.<br />
To register using the SMS<br />
option, SMS only your 11-<br />
digit meter number to 36073,<br />
which will cost R5.<br />
You will then receive a response<br />
SMS.<br />
BCM residents on Facebook<br />
are thrilled with the service.<br />

showed up at the camp with his<br />
axe, and knocked on the head<br />
lumberjacks' door.<br />
The head lumberjack took one<br />
look at the little man and told him<br />
to leave. "Just give me a chance<br />
to show you what I can do," said<br />
the skinny man.<br />
"Okay, see that giant redwood<br />
over there?" said the lumberjack.<br />
"Take your axe and go cut it down."<br />
The skinny man headed for the<br />
tree, and in five minutes he was<br />
back knocking on the<br />
lumberjack's door.<br />
"I cut the tree down," said the man.<br />
The lumberjack couldn't believe<br />
his eyes and said, "Where did you<br />
get the skill to chop down trees<br />
like that?"<br />
"In the Sahara Forest," replied the<br />
puny man.<br />
"You mean the Sahara Desert,"<br />
said the lumberjack.<br />
The little man laughed and<br />
answered back, "Oh sure, that's<br />
what they call it now!"

Protecting Memory: What<br />
can you do?<br />
THERE are an increasing<br />
number of people complaining<br />
that they cannot remember<br />
well. In part, this is due to<br />
just having too much to do<br />
and remember.<br />
This however, is not the only<br />
reason. Lifestyle factors,<br />
which are becoming increasingly<br />
common are also contributing<br />
to poorer brain<br />
function.<br />
Long-term this has a significant<br />
impact on memory and<br />
can even lead to Alzheimer's<br />
dementia. Alzheimer's dementia<br />
and other forms dementia<br />
are typically<br />
characterised by a loss of<br />
memory, the ability to think<br />
and function properly, and a<br />
change in behaviour.<br />
Studies have shown that up<br />
to 50% of dementia is secondary<br />
to modifiable risk factors.<br />
These are factors that<br />
you have control over.<br />
My focus in this 'Protecting<br />
Memory' series of articles is<br />
to improve understanding of<br />
these factors that affect brain<br />
function. What are they?<br />
Road Trip<br />
One afternoon, this guy drives down a<br />
highway to visit a nearby lake and relax. On<br />
his way to the lake, a guy dressed from head<br />
to toe in red standing on the side of the<br />
highway gestures for him to stop.<br />
The guy rolls down the window and says,<br />
"How can I help you?"<br />
"I am the red jerk of the highway. You got<br />
something to eat?"<br />
With a smile on his face, the guy hands a<br />
sandwich to the guy in red and drives away.<br />
Not even five minutes later, he comes across<br />
another guy. This guy is dressed fully in<br />
yellow, standing on the side of the road and<br />
waving for him to stop.<br />
A bit irritated, our guy stops, cranks down the<br />
window, and says, "What can I do for you?"<br />
"I am the yellow jerk of the highway. You got<br />
something to drink?"<br />
Hardly managing to smile this time, he hands<br />
the guy a can of Coke and stomps on the<br />
pedal and takes off again. In order to make it<br />
to the lakeside before sunset, he decides to<br />
go faster and not to stop no matter what.<br />
To his frustration, he sees another guy on the<br />
side of the road, this one dressed in blue and<br />
signaling for him to stop. Reluctantly, our guy<br />
decides to stop one last time. He rolls down<br />
his window, and yells, "Let me guess. You're<br />
the blue jerk of the highway, and just what<br />
the heck do you wanna have?"<br />
"Driver's license and registration, please."<br />

• Stimulating your brain<br />

Ford recalls all 1.6-lire Kuga's<br />
BURNOUT: This Ford Kuga caught alight and burned out on the Dimbaza<br />
road close to King Williams Town earlier this month<br />
FORD South Africa is issuing<br />
a safety recall for Kuga<br />
models equipped with the<br />
1.6-litre engine to address an<br />
engine overheating condition<br />
that could cause a fire.<br />
A total of 4,556 vehicles are<br />
affected by this safety recall<br />
in South Africa, and were built<br />
between December, <strong>20</strong>12<br />
and February, <strong>20</strong>14. Ford<br />
Kuga models with 1.5-litre<br />
and 2.0-litre engines are not<br />
affected.<br />
'We have investigated the<br />
incidents as they have been<br />
reported to us, removing<br />
many parts for detailed examination<br />
in our engineering<br />
facilities in Europe and North<br />
America,' said a statement<br />
from Ford.<br />
'The data collected from the<br />
recent incidents and the<br />
maintenance checks we are<br />
conducting through our dealers<br />
have helped us to determine<br />
the root cause of the<br />
fires.<br />
'While we continue to investigate<br />
the Kuga 1.6 engine<br />
compartment fires, based on<br />
the current data we have<br />
determined that the fires are<br />
due to engine overheating.<br />
'This is caused by a lack of<br />
coolant circulation which can<br />
lead to a cracking in the<br />
cylinder head and, therefore,<br />
an oil leak. If the leaking oil<br />
reaches a hot engine surface,<br />
it can potentially catch fire.<br />
We are not aware of any<br />
injuries resulting from the<br />
engine compartment fires.'<br />
With this safety recall, all<br />
affected vehicles, including<br />
those that have already been<br />
checked, must be taken to a<br />
Ford dealership as soon as<br />
possible. This safety recall<br />
comprises two stages.<br />
The first stage involves replacing<br />
affected components on<br />
the cooling system, verifying<br />
and updating the software<br />
and conducting an oil leak<br />
check on the cylinder head,'<br />
said the statement.<br />
If any Kuga 1.6 owner sees<br />
any indication that the engine<br />
may be overheating or experiences<br />
warnings on the<br />
instrument cluster, they<br />
should pull over as soon as<br />
it is safe to do so, switch off<br />
the engine and ensure all<br />
occupants are safely out of<br />
the vehicle. For safety reasons,<br />
the bonnet must not be<br />
opened.

READY, STEADY, GO<br />
...it's a welcome back to Tanya who has returned<br />
to service us with our favourite<br />
beverages...and, she's up to her normal<br />
inventive/creative self by already organizing<br />
a party with a difference which is scheduled<br />
for early March. The Ritz will be hosting a<br />
“Robot” party (...as opposed to the normal<br />
Valentine party which every other institution in<br />
town seems to follow) which will take on the<br />
following theme : The “traffickee” theme will<br />
have a robot look about it with the normal<br />
three colours being displayed all over The<br />
Ritz pub. However, married couples or those<br />
in serious relationships must come dressed<br />
in red, those who are in “undecided” relationships<br />
must dress in orange/amber and those<br />
who are single and available should dress in<br />
green – picture the scene with that former<br />
sports writer, for the Daily Dispatch, dressed<br />
in green...ever seen a real, live leprechaun ?<br />
Actually, it's just as well that he is married so<br />
he can come looking like Little Red Riding<br />
Hood. Dressing this way will give everyone a<br />
clear “sign” about who is “touchable” and who<br />
is “untouchable”. This should provide a lot of<br />
fun for those who choose to “lie”...especially<br />
if they pitch up in camouflage, except you<br />
wont be able to see them so “feeling” your<br />
way around is definitely a fun option. There is,<br />
of course, the ever present danger of getting<br />
moored especially if you mistakingly “feel”<br />
large okes like Martin, Clinton, Kim, Peck<br />
(...the ladies are excluded from being<br />
“damaged”). Read this space over the next<br />
few weeks for further information regarding<br />
the date, cost, prizes etc.<br />
RITZ BLITZ<br />
Frid – snacks and snorts from four,<br />
Sat/Sun – enjoy more snorts and sports (on<br />
TV) ate The Ritz,<br />
Wed – King Bottle Store attendance draw.<br />
Wed – steaks on the braai with bread for<br />

AND FINALLY<br />
“teach your daughter how to shoot... because<br />
a restraining order is just a piece of paper”<br />

Still nothing.<br />
The Swiss guy drives<br />
up at a bus stop off, extremely<br />

are waiting. American turns to the<br />
"Entschuldigung, second and says,<br />
koennen Sie Deutsch<br />

The two Americans<br />
just stare at him.<br />
"Excusez-moi, parlez<br />
"Y'know, maybe we<br />
should learn a foreign<br />
language."<br />
"Why?" says the other.<br />
"That guy knew four<br />

tries. The two didn't do him any<br />
continue to stare. good."<br />
"Parlare Italiano?" No<br />

Wet course does not deter parkrunners<br />
A wet course last Saturday<br />
with a few slippery spots<br />
didn't deter 75 parkrunners<br />
from having an absolute ball<br />
on the golf course. A few<br />
runners really pushed themselves<br />
hard with a little help<br />
and even though not many<br />
personal bests were recorded<br />
,times definitely improved<br />
drastically from the previous<br />
week.<br />
'The festive season food iintake<br />
is slowly wearing off,'<br />
said King parkrun director<br />
Mike Webb.<br />
Ingrid Schenk took some<br />
awesome photos of the runners<br />
and you can view these<br />

'A few of our ladies have taken<br />
to doing the route earlier<br />
each week in order to be able<br />
to volunteer and this is helping<br />
immensely,' said Mike.<br />
'Thanks to each and every<br />
one of you,' he said adding<br />
that a few runners are rapidly<br />
closing in on the magical<br />
50 club mark .... who will be<br />
