Leef ’n dagop ’n slag

TERWYL ons aan die eindevan 2013 staan en begin uitsienna die groot Kersvierings watom die draai is, blyk dit die13de jaar van die 21ste eeu was’n jaar wat gestand gedoen hetaan sy getal se reputasie as ’nongelukkige een. Aan die beginvan die jaar was die vraag ofdit wel ’n ongelukkige 13 gaanwees vinnig beantwoord.

Dié jaar het aangegaan metdie ekonomiese resessie watdie wêreld en Suid-Afrika al ’npaar jaar in ’n wurggreep het.

Hoewel die Noord-Kaapekonomies beter gevaar het asdie ander provinsies, het menseoor die algemeen swaardergetrek om die jaar te oorleef.

Die Noord-Kaap is ook verdergetref deur die opspraakwek-kende Griekwastad-moorde watalmal oor die jaar heen aan diepraat gehad het.

Die uitspraak wat nou eersin 2014 gelewer gaan word, salhopelik die antwoorde op baiemoeilike vrae verskaf.

Dit was egter nie die enigste

opspraakwekkende moord nie.Hoewel die moorde op

Harrismith in die buurprovin-sie plaasgevind het, het dieraakpunte met die Griekwa-stad-moorde ou wonde oopge-krap. Ouers veral is getref deurdie ou vraagstuk oor wat diegrootste rol in die opvoedingvan hul kinders speel.

Is dit nature of nurture watdie vorming van jong volwasse-nes die meeste beïnvloed?

Daarby het die jaar met diedood van Suid-Afrika segrootste staatsman geëindig.

Oudpresident Nelson Mande-la se dood het alle Suid-Afrika-ners geruk en laat besin oorwaar ons vandaan kom enwaarheen ons van hier af moetbeweeg. Die herbevestiging vansy versoeningsboodskap hetegter ’n ligpunt aan dié donkerwolk geheg.

Nou staan Suid-Afrika aandie voet van 2014. Gaan diekomende jaar ekonomiese enpolitieke verligting bring? Wieweet . . . ons sal dit maar dagvir dag moet aanpak.

Stadiger, rusDs Philip van Vuuren

JESAJA 40 vers 29-31: “Hy gee dievermoeide krag en vermenigvuldigsterkte vir dié wat geen krag hetnie. Die jonges word moeg en maten die jongmanne struikel selfs;maar dié wat op die Here wag, krynuwe krag; hulle vaar op metvleuels soos die arende; hullehardloop en word nie moeg nie;hulle wandel en word nie mat nie.”

Die pas van hierdie lewe is nette vinnig. Die tempo waarteen onsleef, maak dat vele van ons op dierandjie van uitbranding en selfssenu-instortings is.

Hier aan die einde van die jaarkan ons nie wag om net ’n ruskanste kan gaan geniet nie. Vir andereis dit nie beskore om weg te breeken te gaan rus nie.

’n Atleet moet hardloop teen ’nsekere pas. Indien hy die pas salversnel, sal hy nie die wenpaalhaal nie; hy sal homself uitbrand.Ons sal moet leer om meer aandagte gee aan ons lewenstempo .

God se tempo is “WAG”. Diemens leef teen ’n tempo van“NOU”. Uitgebrande moeë mens,leer om jouself tot stilstand tedwing. Aanvaar dat die lewe vereisons moet ook STOP. Jy kan nie netaangaan en aangaan sonder om joukrag te vernuwe nie.

Wanneer ons leer om by God setempo aan te pas sal jy soms voeljy hardloop, soms voel dit of jyvlieg en ander kere stap jy of staanjy net stil. Om dan in Sy pas tekom, sal ons in Sy krag beweeg,dan word ons nie moeg nie, dan isdie lewe vir ons ’n uitdaging.

Die STOP-oomblik, die WAG-oom-blik is nie om passief agteroor tesit nie. Dis oomblikke waar jy bid,na Hom vra, en dit is ook dan datSy wil aan ons openbaar gemaaksal word. Koop die tyd uit om SyWoord te lees en laat toe dat Hy totjou spreek deur Sy Woord.

Wanneer Hy deel word van onslewenstempo, dan sal die kleur vanons lewe weer terugkom. Sal onsweer energie kry en sal ons weerdie lewe kan geniet. Matt. 11 vers28: “Almal wat vermoeid en belas is,kom na My toe en Ek sal julle rusgee.” Die lewe behoort vir ons ’nreis te wees en nie ’n wedloop nie.Ons is vry om die lewe te gebruiken as ons wys is, sal ons dit leefmet die ewigheid in gedagte. Genietu vakansie, geniet u ruskans, enpak 2014 met nuwe krag aan.

En volgende jaar draai die koerantwiel weer . . .Ilse Watson

VIR eens het ek geen benul wat omvir ons Kameeldoring-rubriek teskryf nie.

Want dit is die einde van diejaar en ek verwys gewoonlikdaarna as die silly season.

Want baie mense is moeg,gestres, oorwerk, emosioneeluitgeput en ’n mens se verstandwil ook nie meer so lekkerfunksioneer nie.

As ek terugkyk na die afgelopejaar sien ek ’n mengelmoes-deur-mekaar-vrugteslaai – partykeer isdie vrugteslaai met salige vanielje-

roomys voorgesit en ander kere isdie vrugteslaai met suurroombedien.

Elke jaar het sy hoogte- enlaagtepunte. Dit is ’n gegewe. OpNuwejaarsdag glo ’n mens kinder-lik dit gaan nét ’n goeie jaar wees.Maar dit gebeur nie altyd so nie.Die grootste deel van my 2013 isdeur my werk (en lewe) in diekoerantbedryf ingesluk. Sommervroeg-vroeg het ek na die koerant-lewe as ’n hamsterwieletjie beginverwys – want dit hou net nooitop draai nie.

Soms het ek gewens daar wilelke dag ’n bietjie nuus gebeur

sodat ek ordentlike aandag daaraankan skenk, maar nuus kies nie ’ntyd nie – sommer vier goed sal opeen dag gebeur en jy hardloop joubeentjies stomp om by alles uit tekom. En die volgende dag is ditweer doodstil.

Maar dit is ’n lewe wat ek nievir enigiets sal verruil nie – skryfis in my bloed.

My oupa het as subredakteur by

een van die groot koerante inJohannesburg afgetree.

My pa se kunstige streep het indie teken van spotprentjies (oorhomself) gelê. Hy het ook graagpotloodsketse gedoen.

My dogter sing en doen kreatie-we dagboeke oor haar lewe. Sohier en daar skryf sy iets (meestalin Engels) wat my mond laatoophang. En dan wens ek dat ekook sulke mooi kreatiewe storieskan skryf.

Ja, ons het almal ’n kreatiewetalent.

En so sal ek 2014 ingaan metnuwe moed en hoop vir nog ’n jaar

propvol interessante nuus.Ek wil ook van dié geleentheid

gebruik maak om die gemeenskap-pe van Kathu en Kuruman (enomliggende dorpe) te bedank vir aldie nuus wat vir my gestuur isen/of al die dringende oproepe oor“groot nuus” wat pas gebeur het.

Ek wil ook vir al die mense byons hoofkantoor in Bloemfonteindankie sê vir hul geduld, hulp enondersteuning – sonder julle saldaar ook nie elke week ’n KalahariBulletin op straat verskyn nie.

Wees asseblief veilig op onspaaie – seënwense tot volgendejaar.

Dankie, Madiba, vir AfrikaansJAPIE GOUWS, Kuruman:

DIE ATKV verneem metleedwese van die afsterwe vanNelson Mandela, of Madiba, soosdie wêreld ná die eerste demokra-tiese verkose swart president vanSuid-Afrika verwys het.

Nelson Mandela het ’n besonder-se verhouding met Afrikaansgehad. As kind op die plattelandvan Transkei het hy dit nooitgehoor nie, maar in sy 27 jaar indie tronk is hy daagliks daarmeegekonfronteer. Hy moes dit ookverstaan en gebruik tydens dieingewikkelde onderhandelings vir

’n nuwe Suid-Afrika.Ons wil hom vandag daarvoor

huldig dat hy, in sy termyn aspresident en in sy hoedanigheidas leier van die nuwe Suid-Afrika,nooit toegelaat het dat persoonlikebitterheid die demokrasie onder-myn nie, ook nie as dit by taalkom nie. Ons wil dankie sê dat hydie moeite gedoen het om Afri-

kaans en Afrikaanssprekendes asdeel van Afrika beskou het, en dathy Afrikaners nie net as deel vandie apartheidsverlede van Suid-Afrika gesien het nie, maar ook asdeel van die toekoms en dieoplossing vir die land se proble-me. In Suid-Afrika, waar nasie-bou so belangrik is, het ons mensesoos Nelson Mandela nodig.

Hy het in ’n baie kort tydgrense en persepsies, soos dat onsnie saam kan bestaan nie, ver-skuif. Hy sal vir altyd deur alleSuid-Afrikaners en deur die helewêreld onthou word.

Ons gun u die rus, Madiba.

EEN van die hoofredes waarom’n mens ’n foto in ’n raam sit, isomdat die raam die kuns van dieomliggende gebied skei.Dit vorm ’n grens wat help om

die oog binne die fotogebied tehou. Dit is nog ’n tegniek om dieoog te lei na die onderwerp vandie foto.Kunstenaars en fotograwe het

lank gelede al uitgevind datnatuurlike elemente binne ’ntoneel ’n klaargemaakte raamvorm wat die oog verhoed omweg van die onderwerp van diefoto te dwaal. Hierdie tegniekskep harmonie in die foto.Van die klassieke metodes om

’n raam te vorm is om ’n fotodeur ’n oop deur te neem. Die

raam van die deur word ’nnatuurlike raam vir die foto.Dieselfde geld oop vensters eningangsboë van ou kerke engeboue.Een van die oudste tegnieke is

om ’n landskapfoto van onder ’nboom te neem. Die takke wat vanbo af hang, vorm ’n raam vir dielandskap. Dit gee die kyker ’ngevoel dat hy of sy onder deurdie boom loer na die landskap endie takke help dat die oog nieaan die bokant van die fotouitdwaal nie.Deur ’n boomstomp aan die

linker- of regterkant van die fotote plaas skep die fotograaf ’nnatuurlike raam aan die kantvan die foto.’n Foto wat deur die mik van

’n boom geneem word, fokus dieoog op die onderwerp in die

middel van die foto.’n Fotograaf moet altyd op die

uitkyk wees vir interessante ofongewone maniere om dieonderwerp van die foto te raam.Probeer die foto deur ’n motor sevenster te neem of die onderwerpvan die foto deur ’n groep menseaf te neem.’n Natuurlike raam kan ook

gevorm word deur die “venster”wat gevorm word deur dievingers van ’n hand of ’n arm op’n heup.Natuurlike rame kan ook

gebruik word in ’n portret. ’n“Bob”-haarstyl is een van dievele haarstyle wat ’n raam virdie gesig vorm.Die hande en arms van ’n

model kan ook gebruik word om’n natuurlike raam vir die gesigte vorm.

FETALE ALKOHOLSIN-DROOM (FAS) is fisieke enverstandelike defekte watvoorkom in ’n fetus (ongebo-re baba) van ’n ma watalkohol tydens haar swan-gerskap drink.Tydens swangerskap en

selfs wanneer ’n vroubeplan om swanger te raakis dit van die uiterstebelang om geen alkohol tedrink nie.Daar is geen veilige vlak

van alkoholinname tydensswangerskap nie; daarom isdit wys om dit eerderheeltemal te vermy.FAS is ’n voorkombare

toestand.FAS verwys na die

verskillende soorte problemewat kan voorkom wanneer’n baba gebore word van ’nmoeder wat alkohol tydenshaar swangerskap gedrinkhet.Verstandelike gestremd-

heid is die grootste kompli-kasie van alkoholgebruiktydens swangerskap.Ongelukkig is die hoogste

voorkoms van FAS in diewêreld in Suid-Afrika.Die voorkoms daarvan is

75 per 1 000 geboortes in dieWes-Kaap – dit is 7,5% vanalle geboortes.Die ander hoërisikogebie-

de is in Gauteng: Soweto(2,2%), Lenasia (1,2%) enWestbury (3,7%).Wanneer ’n mens kyk

na die skokkende risikowat met alkoholgebruikge- paard gaan, is dit niedie moeite werd om eerseen drankie tydensswangerskap te drinknie.Vroue wat twee of meer

drankies per dag drink,se babas het ’n groterrisiko vir intra-uterienegroeivertraging (baba groeinie optimaal voor geboortein die baarmoeder nie),

verlaagde plasentagewig,onderontwikkelde motorieseaktiwiteit en tonus, swaksuiging by geboorte, asookdoodgeboortes.Vier of meer drankies kan

tot gevolg hê dat daar foutmet die baba se breinstruk-tuur kan wees.Wanneer ses of meer

drankies per dag gedrinkword, het die baba ’nverhoogde kans vir FAS.Vroue wat oor die alge-

meen nie alkohol gebruiknie, maar tydens hulswangerskap per geleent-heid matige hoeveelhedealkohol drink of selfsalkohol drink terwyl hulleonbewus is dat hulleswanger is, is ’n hoë risikovir FAS.Daar is geen behandeling

vir FAS nie behalwevoorkoming deur geenalkohol tydens swangerskapte drink nie.Die voorkoms van FAS in

die Noord-Kaap is ookonrusbarend groot.Indien u vermoed dat

u ’n afhanklikheidspro-bleem het, kan u met dienaaste AA-kantoor, onder-steuningsgroep of genees-heer in verbinding tree.Mense word teen die

misbruik van alkohol,veral in die feestyd, ge-waarsku.) Gesondheidswenkeverskaf deur MediclinicKathu

CHRISTELLE GROBLER, Kuru-man:

EK wil verskriklik graag byJacques Groenewald se brief, Huur-en lewenskoste te hoog, aansluit.Die inwoners van die Kuruman/

Kathu-omgewing buit die huishuur-situasie heeltemal te veel uit. Julle(en die agente) glimlag lekker aandie einde van die maand wanneerdie huishuur inkom, want ditbeteken die neseiertjie groei . . . ofek kan nog ’n maand die paaiementvan my nuwe luukse voertuigbekostig.Die huurder moet raap en skraap

om deur te kom, want die “pakket-te” wat aan hulle betaal word, lykglad nie meer so wonderlik nadatmediese en pensioen-aftrekkings,

asook die huishuur, af is nie.Die kontrakteursmaatskappye

moet net voet dwars sit . . . diehuiseienaars sal nie ’n keuse hê asom die huur af te bring nie.Wat my dwars in die krop steek,

is wat van die mense wat in diedorp werk wat nie ’n salaris vandie myn ontvang nie. Wat vandaardie enkellopende man of vrouwat in ’n winkel werk? Hoe gaanhulle ooit die geleentheid kry om ’nplekkie van sy of haar eie te besit?Wat van daardie geskeide man of

vroue wat nog afhanklikes het?

Waar is die geleentheid vir so ’nmens om te begin spaar?Die ironie is so ’n mens betaal

ten duurste elke maand huurgeld(moet betaal), maar die bank is niebereid om aan hom of haar ’nlening vir ’n plekkie toe te staannie. Die uiteinde is agteruitgang –dit tas jou menswaardigheid aan.En dan is daar die ontwikkelaars

– om die een of ander rede is hullealtyd aan die uitbrei, die huiseskiet soos paddastoele op en JanAlleman moet maar net toekyk hoedie stukkie grond wat uitgesit isvir “parke” ewe skielik toegebouword.Ja, ons klop ons op die skouer

oor wat ons bereik (goeie geldelikebesluite wat ons neem) – ten kostevan wie?

Huurders hier word uitgebuit

PASIËNTVEILIGHEID is een van diebelangrikste doelwitte van dieMediclinic Kathu en bied daaromomvattende hospitaaldienste van hoëgehalte om so die lewensgehalte vanpasiënte te verbeter.Die Mediclinic Kathu is toegewy

daaraan om te alle tye sorg van hoëgehalte aan sy pasiënte te lewer enomdat ’n heeltydse doktersdiens nieby die noodeenheid aangebied kanword nie het die bestuur besluit omdie 24-uur-noodeenheid van Sondag22 Desember af tot verdere kennisge-wing te sluit.Ná deeglike oorweging van die

uitdagings om noodeenheidsdokterste kontrakteer om in die eenheid tewerk is besluit dit sou nie in diebelang van pasiëntveiligheid weesom enige noodgevalle te aanvaarnie.Dit is ook besluit om vir eers nie

’n 24-uur-nooddiens te bied nie.Die hospitaal verseker egter die

gemeenskap alle ander gesondheids-dienste van die Mediclinic Kathugaan normaalweg voort.Die hospitaal stel pasiëntveiligheid

eerste en bied kundigheid watvertrou kan word.Vir meer inligting bel Melinda
