The accident occurred just after 7am on Monday morning as the youngsters, between the ages of seven and 17, were go- ing to primary and secondary schools in Mooi River. Rescue efforts were initially led by farmers in the area who were promptly on the scene, as more and more distraught par- ents gathered. Twenty-five of the children, and the driver, managed to make their way to safety out of the sludge filled dam. Pieterma- ritzburg and Port Shepstone Search and Rescue teamsand residents, worked in recover- ing the bodies from the thick slurry. The bodies of four of the children, Phumlani Shelembe, Mnokwazi Phungula, Lin- dokuhle Mayekiso and Amanda Khanyile, were found and the fifth, 10-year old Sindiswa Kh- anyile, was only recovered late in the afternoon alongside the vehicle. One of the Rietvlei communi- ty members involved, Johannes Fourie, told the Greytown Ga- zette that the 25 survivors were totally traumatised and that he and others had used space blan- kets and blankets to cover them to prevent them going into shock. Although G911 alerted the Ri- etvlei Police and Emergency Medical Services immediately after the tragedy, it is reported that only one ambulance was sent, arriving an hour and a half after the accident. Around about 3.30pm, the Greytown Gazette was contacted by a con- cerned Rietvlei resident, Belin- da Moran, who was assisting a father who had lost his son, and three daughters who were in- jured. Although all the injured children had been treated at Greytown Hospital by 2pm, no effort had been made by the hospital to monitor the children who were left outside - highly traumatized. Thanks to incred- ible community spirit, Mr A Gangai provided a bus to trans- port the children to their homes in Rietvlei and Greytown Child Welfare and others provided food. It is hoped that the Depart- ment of Education will ensure that the children and families receive counselling. The driver of the bakkie has been arrested on charges of cul- pable homicide and negligent driving and appears in Grey- town Magistrates court today.

COPPERcablethieveshavebeenoperat-ing in Greytown, with a number of elec-trical substationsbeinghitby this syndi-cate.

Last Wednesday, election day, resi-dents in Anton Menne drive and Fergu-son Street were subjected to a totalblackout until about 3pm on Thursdayafternoon.

Umvoti Municipality electricity de-partment personnel secured the sitearound about 10pm on Wednesdaynight after having SAPSmembers at thesite.

Butbetween10pmandwhen theelec-tricity department members checkedearly on Thursday morning, the totallow voltage board had been removed bythe thieves.

Again from about 10pm on Wednes-day night, residents of Park Lane, Beck-er,Harding andErskine Streetswere al-so subjected to total power outagewhen

themaincablewascutoff in the theKingEdward park sub station.

This was very swiftly repaired by theElectrical department staff in themorn-ing-whichwasmuchappreciatedbytheeditor who had been unable to open theelectric only garage doors.

Obviously on a money making roll,these cable thieves struck again onThursdaynightbut thanks to thepromptreactionofaresident,FieldSecurityandthe electrical department personnel,two suspects were caught red-handedin theGreytownHigh School substation.

SudeshMaharaj of Field Security toldthe Greytown Gazette that following analert to G911 froma resident, he and histeam had immediately responded.

At the substation they found two mentrying to flee and apprehended themand found in their possession a bolt cut-ter, pliers and a bag of copper wire cutfrom the substation.

Thetwothievesweretaketo thepolicestation and charged with the theft ofcopper cables and malicious damage toproperty - they appeared in the Grey-town Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

An urgent appeal goes out to all resi-dents to contact 911 at 033 417 2911immediately if they see orhear anythingsuspicious when the power goes out. Ascan be seen, the arrest of the two sus-pects was entirely due to a responsibleresident making that call to 911.

Umvoti Municipality has been askedfor comment on this very seriousmatter- hopefully a detailed reportwill be pub-lished in the next issue .

Back to the dark ages!

AMUNICIPALnotice on this page informs resi-dents that during the construction of the Ma-vundla Square, a section of Okes Street will beoneway. According to information received bythe Greytown Gazette, this far reaching actionwas not raised or passed by the council.

Compounding the issue is that part of the re-cently tarred Voortrekker Street has been dugup for fence poles - but once again an “ironCurtain” is hiding this expensive damage.

Whilst everyone appreciates that Greytownis to acquire its first shopping mall, creatingmuchneeded jobs anda range of retail outlets,does this justify the total disruption to motor-istsand to thebusinesses inVoortrekkerStreetwhere therewill noparking fromHomeAffairsto OKes Street?

However, themunicipalmanager very kind-ly states that “should you find yourself in adifficult situation (no parking?) and requiretraffic assistance, kindly contact theMunicipalOffices.”

Bizarre datesin May

EMERALD, one of the world’s most expen-sive gems, is the birthstone for May. Thename is derived from the Greek word“smaragdos” a term pertaining to severalkinds of green stones.

Ancient Egyptians established emeraldmines before Cleopatra’s birth. Toolswerediscovered in the mines dating back toRamses II, around 1300 B.C. Worn byEgyptian royalty, emeralds were also bur-ied with the dead.

Though beautiful, Egyptian emeraldswere found to be of a lower quality oncethe Spanish discovered Columbian gems.

In the region now known as Columbia,ancientMuzo Indians established success-ful emerald mining operations possibly asearly as 500 A.D.

These mines were so well hidden thatit took invading Spanish Conquistadors 20years to find the mines. It was another 35years before the invaders conquered thefierce Indian tribe, forcing the natives towork in the mines. Many myths surroundthe emerald - it is said to prevent epilepsy,stop bleeding, cure dysentery and fever.

The magnificent green colour was saidto rest and relieve the eyes - Nero was be-lieved to have eyeglassesmade of emeraldso that he could watch gladiator games.It was also believed that the emeralds heldthe power to foretell the future. AncientRomans dedicated the emerald to the god-dess Venus, as the gem embodied fertility,faith and goodness. Red emeralds are themost rare of this gemstone.

Theyaresodifficult to locateandcut thatjewellery containing red emeralds is pro-hibitively expensive. Emeralds are fragileand can be easily chipped. To reduce thistendency and cause less stress, a specialrectangular cut was developed called the“emerald cut”.

JUNIOR JOTTINGS

OSTEOPOROSIS literally means porousbones. It is a systemicandprogressivebonedisease characterized by a decrease inbonemassanddensity thatcan lead tobonefractures, especially in the spine, hips orwrists.

“Osteoporosis is often referred to as the‘silent epidemic’ because there are usuallynovisiblesymptomsuntilabonefractures,”said Peter Jordan, principal officer of Fed-health. Most people associate Osteoporosiswith older women, but it is not only women

who are susceptible to this disease,it can also affect young people and men.“Statistics show that one in threewomen

and one in five men in South Africa will de-velop this disease within

their lifetime,” he said.There are three vital elements to pre-

venting Osteoporosis.1. Sufficient Calcium intake:

Men and women between the ages of 18and 50 need 1000 milligrams of calcium adayandthisdailyamount increases to1200

milligrams for women over 50 and menover 70. Good sources of calcium include:

Low-fat dairy products, dark green leafyvegetables, canned salmon or sardineswithbones, soyproducts suchas tofu, calci-um-fortified cereals and orange juice.

Ifnotgettingenoughcalciuminyourdiet,take calcium supplements.

Toomuch calcium can cause heart prob-lems and kidney stones.

“The Institute of Medicine recommendsthat total calcium intake from supplementsand diet combined should be no more than2000milligramsaday forpeopleolder than50,” said Jordan.2. Sufficient Vitamin D intake:

Getting enough vitamin D is another im-portant preventative measure. Vitamin Dis necessary for your body to absorb calci-um. Many people get adequate amounts ofvitamin D from sunlight but, if you arehousebound, regularly use sunscreen or ifyou avoid the sun entirely because of therisk of skin cancer, a calcium supplementof 600 to 800 IU per day should be taken.3. Exercise

Combinestrengthtrainingexerciseswithweight-bearing exercises. Strength train-ing helps strengthen muscles and bones inyour arms and upper spine, and weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging,running, stair climbing,

skipping and impact-producing sports,affect thebones in your legs, hipsand lowerspine.Swimming,cyclingandexercisingonmachines such as elliptical trainers canprovide a good cardiovascular workoutbut, because

these exercises are low impact, they arenot as helpful as weight-bearing exercisesfor improving bone health. - Supplied byCathy Findlay, PR on behalf of Fedhealth.
