Hazel’s Nature Nook“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell

Slowly, but surely the mercury drops and deep greens turn to pale yellows and light browns. It is truly fantastic seeing the surroundings changing every season. Our green lawns don’t seem that green anymore and we tend to light up the fireplace instead of the braai. Early morning winter lawns are often covered in a white, frosty layer, but spikes of brilliant red and yellow or pink aloes brighten dull winter days; their colours subtly mellow to warm the chill. They attract shiny sunbirds who sips nectar from their tubular, waxy flowers. Most aloes, and some succulents, produce their brightly coloured flowers in winter when virtually nothing else is in bloom.

Staying indoors just doesn’t seem very South African. We grab a scarf and that woollen hat grandma gave you at Christmas and charge into the outdoors. There is truly a winter wonderland that is waiting to be explored. A mid-morning hike doesn’t seem that exhausting when it’s not 30°C outside and I will always remember that my first Rainbow Trout was caught in the heart of winter.

A week does not go by where I don’t spend a few minutes checking on our feathered friends at The Ridge dam. Last week I noticed a plastic bag floating in the dam and asked a gardener to quickly retrieve it, he answered with a shy “but it’s cold sir. “. I looked up and noticed the Waterfowl did not really care about the freezing water. It seems they are completely impervious to the cold and the Red-knobbed Coots seem to have enlarged their family unit by six fluffy chicks. These amazing birds are probably familiar to anyone who has ever walked along a vlei or dam, and they can keep me entertained for hours just by looking at them searching for food and playing in the reeds. Here is a little bit of information about these residents:

The Red-knobbed Coot or Crested Coot, (Fulica cristata), is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae. It is a resident breeder across much of Africa and in southernmost Spain on freshwater lakes and ponds. It builds a nest of dead reeds near the water’s edge or more commonly afloat, laying about 8 eggs (or more in good conditions). However, its behaviour towards its own young is so aggressive that only a few are likely to survive to adulthood.

Description and identificationUpper body of a bird in breeding condition in South Africa.The Red-knobbed Coot is largely black except for the white frontal shield. It is 38–45 cm long, spans 75–85 cm across the wings and weighs 585–1,085g. As a swimming species, it has partial webbing on its long strong toes. The juvenile is paler than the adult, has a whitish breast, and lacks the facial shield; the adult’s black plumage develops when about 3–4 months old, but the white shield is only fully developed at about one year old, sometimes even later.

A good view is necessary to separate this species from the Eurasian Coot, with which its range overlaps. There are two tiny red knobs at the top of the facial shield, which are not visible at any great distance and are only present in the breeding season; the black feathering between the shield and the bill is rounded, whereas in Eurasians it comes to a point; and the bill has a bluish grey tinge.

BehaviourThe habits of the Red-knobbed Coot are practically identical to those of the Eurasian Coot. It is much less secretive than most of the rail family. Where it is undisturbed it is likely to bully any intruder, even large birds such as Egyptian geese, if they do not defy its challenges. It can be seen swimming on open water or walking across waterside grasslands. It is an aggressive species, and

strongly territorial during the breeding season.

The Red-knobbed Coot is reluctant to fly and when taking off runs across the water surface with much splashing. It does the same, but without actually flying, when travelling a short distance at speed (to escape a rival, for example, or to dispute possession of a choice morsel). It bobs its head as it swims, and makes short dives from a little jump.The Red-knobbed Coot is an omnivore, and will take a variety of small live prey including the eggs of other water birds. Its main food in most waters however comprises various waterweeds such as species of Potamogeton for which it commonly dives.

This is a noisy bird during mating, but its vocalisations are quite different from the Eurasian Coot. It gives a fast kerrre like the Little Crake, a harsh ka-haa and a grunting hoot “oot oot” that suggests that the name “Coot” might be onomatopoeia, but inspection of the etymology of “Coot” fairly decisively negates any such suggestion.Species information sourced from Wikipedia.

• Reverse the rotation of your ceiling fan. This will bring down heated air from the ceiling.

• Be sure to clean all gutters by the end of winter and before the Spring rains. Blocked gutters can cause water to build up, spill over onto woodwork and cause rot to set in.

• Drain and store garden hoses under-roof to prevent damage by freezing water.

• Have your chimney checked and serviced by a licensed contractor at least once a year to guard against chimney fires.

• Learn how to shut off your water and know where your pipes are located in case they freeze; you may be able to prevent water damage.

• Add weather stripping around doors and caulk windows to guard agains drafts and heat loss.

• Keep up with roof maintenance and be aware of the strain it takes as the temperatures vary considerably throughout the year. Metal roofs sustain stress as temperature changes will cause them to expand and contract, pulling at the screws that hold them together.

• The increased use of electrical appliances, from heaters to electric blankets are electrical fire hazards so replace worn plugs and cords, and take heed if a fuse or circuit trips continuously.

BERDINE:010 040 3305

Looking after your investment is important, but so is finding the right tenant. A good tenant can be an asset, which means;

• A good credit history.• Paying on time.• Looking after the unit.

A good rental/managing agent must ensure that they take the necessary steps to find tenants who will meet the above expectations. The extent of the services may vary from agent to agent and much will depend on what your own requirements are. For example, do you just want an agent to find you a tenant, or do you want an agent to manage the whole term of the rental agreement from start to finish?

Opt for those who provide a comprehensive service and can demonstrate success in the local market. Choose an agent that lets properties similar to yours, who you think will attract the right kind of tenant, with suitable references, and the agent who will achieve the highest possible rental price for you.

Tips to ensure that you have the right tenant:

• Check the rental applicationEnsure that all info is completed and that there are no missing spaces on the application. The more info, the better.

• VerifyCheck all the details and ensure that the following was checked:

Finding the right tenant is finding the right agent!by Sandy van Staden

• Address.• Next of kin.• Employment.• Previous Landlord.• ID from applicant, including ID’s of all adults planning

to live in the rental property.

It is important to know who you are renting to and that your renters are who they say they are.

• Credit ChecksDo you know your tenant?Want to protect your investment?Sabreal can offer you the following: Tenant placement through comprehensive tenant screening Unit maintenance Regular unit inspections Competitive rates

Most commonly used databases are Experian, Transunion ITC and TPN. This will give you a wide range of information on the applicants’ financial state and score on how he handles credit. Screening is one of the most important things you do as a landlord.

Having good tenants means sustained rental income and a well-maintained property.

Myths about the flu shot

• “I’ve had the flu shot, so I can’t understand why I’m sick.” The flu shot will only protect you against about 70% of expected flu cases. The influenza vaccine only contains 3 strains of influenza serotypes. Over the last few years it always contained the H1N1 and two other strains. So if you get another strain you will not be protected. The flu shot will also not protect you against any other cold viruses or airway bacteria.

• “I’m not having the flu shot, as it makes you sick.” It can’t. The influenza vaccine is a dead vaccine, and can’t make your sick.

• “I’ve had the flu shot last year and thus won’t need it this year.” The pharmaceutical companies claim in their package insert that the vaccine will give you cover for almost one year. So that will last you one season only. Because the vaccines are changed almost every year or two, even if you might have cover for a bit longer, the strains in the current one might be different.

• “ My 6 month old baby is at home and not exposed to the flu viruses at the crèche.” Your baby can be exposed to the flu virus even when you are at the grocery store! Children under the age of 2 years are at a high risk for complications related to influenza. According to the World Health Organization recommendation, all children between the ages of s6 months and 5 years should get a yearly flu shot.

So who should get a flu vaccination?

A yearly flu shot is recommended for the following people:• Children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.• Persons above the age of 65 years.• Pregnant woman from their second trimester

onwards.• Anyone working in the health care industry.• Anyone with a chronic disease, like diabetes or COPD.

We are all exposed to this deadly virus. To some people it can be more dangerous than others, but we can all benefit from the vaccination. It is safe - let’s beat influenza this winter!

Beating Influenza this winter By Dr Yolande Louw It’s that time of the year again - no matter what preventative measures you take, you can hardly escape the dreaded “FLU SEASON”.

As a GP I have found that many people don’t know the difference between a common cold and flu. Influenza (flu) is caused by the influenza virus, usually has a rapid onset and causes severe symptoms within hours. Symptoms include fever, coughing, a stuffy nose and muscle and joint pain. Colds, on the other hand, are caused by an array of respiratory viruses, and it usually has a slower onset. It normally starts with a sore throat, runny nose and mild fever.

Influenza is a potentially deadly disease, and not just a winter inconvenience. So what can you do to “boost your immunity”? There are numerous supplements that supposedly boosts one’s immunity, but it makes very little sense scientifically as scientists do not yet have answers as to how we can actually boost certain immune cells to keep us from falling ill.

We can, however, keep our immunity in optimum shape with healthy living strategies like:• Do not smoke.• Eat a healthy diet, filled with fruits and vegetables.• Exercise regularly.• Maintain a healthy weight.• Control your stress levels.• Control your blood pressure.• If you consume alcohol, do so in moderation.• Get adequate sleep.• Take steps to avoid infections - wash your hands

regularly.• Regular medical screenings.

Curro Hazeldean leerders maakskoonskip, met verskeie prestasiesGedurende die tweede termyn was Curro Kollege baie bedrywig, met seuns en meisies hokkie, netbal, skaak, landloop, gholf, sowel as tennis. Curro Kollege het dan ook die Curro Streek 7’s toernooi, sowel as die Curro Nasionale 7’s rugby toernooi op hulle tuisgronde aangebied vir die O/13 spelers.

Gholf:Die gholf span neem tans deel aan die Gauteng Noord A-liga en het reeds hulle eerste 2 liga wedstryde gewen.

Rugby:Die O/15 rugby span het al hulle liga wedstryde in die Beeld Trofee vir Klein Skole gewen en hulle gaan eersdaags begin met uitdun rondtes. Die eerste rugby span het ook deurgedring na die uitdun rondtes.

Hokkie:Die seuns hokkie span, sowel as die O/15 meisies hokkiespan en die eerste meisies hokkiespan het onlangs hul ligawedstryde voltooi.

Netbal:Die O/14 netbal span is onoorwonne tot dusver. Die netbal meisies het baie van hul tyd afgestaan om voor te berei vir hul kragmetings hierdie jaar en die resultate bevestig dat daar geen plaasvervanger is vir harde werk om jou doelwitte te bereik nie.

Het jy geweet? Vadersdag is begin deur ‘n vrou in 1909. Sonora Smart van Ameri-ka was so dankbaar vir die goeie werk wat haar pa gedoen het tydens haar kinderjare, dat sy gedruk het om ‘n jaarlikse spesiale dag vir pa’s te laat verklaar.

Haar pa was ‘n oorlogs-veteraan wat sy 6 kinders alleen grootgemaak nadat sy vrou gesterf het ter-wyl sy geboorte geskenk het aan hul jongste kind.

ONthou vadersdag op15 Junie!
