Animal Welfare Fun Orange Day Triathlon in aid of KidzCan Lots of newbies turned out to support the Mini Triathlon on Orange Day, in aid of KidzCan, the charity which assists underprivileged children suffering from cancer. This was an ideal opportunity to give this multi-discipline sport a try, and all who took part had a very enjoyable morning. The elite athletes also turned out in force to support the event, and the talented Peterhouse School triathlon team, coached by triathlete Dave Gardner who also participated, made a special extra donation in addition to registration fees. With generous sponsors picking up the tab for all the expenses, all the registration fees went straight to KidzCan, a charity whose worthy endeavours clearly capture people’s hearts. Shorter events were as usual offered for children, in the Tri-Kids and Tri-Sports categories, depending on age and experience in in the three sports - swimming, cycling and running. There was a very festive atmosphere, with many entering fully into the spirit of things by wearing orange clothes, shoes, and even orange wigs! Triathlon Zimbabwe (ZimTri) are the absolute masters of organisation, and did a really excellent job with this event, as they do with all their fixtures. It was a lot of fun for everyone, with lots of families participating, vibrant orange everywhere, and first timers enjoying themselves so much that many stated their intent to come back for more! Triathlon – swimming, cycling and running, back to back, is a very popular sport worldwide, and is excellent for all-round fitness as well as being very social and family- friendly. Dating back to France in the 1920s, when the first such sporting events emerged combining these three disciplines, triathlon became an Olympic sport in 2000, while modern triathlon is traced back to 1974 San Diego, California where the first swim/bike/run event took place with just 46 contestants. The first Ironman event was held in Hawaii in 1978, with ultra long distances, and demanding extremely high levels of fitness and dedicated training. ZimTri are particularly efficient at putting together what are actually really complex sporting events - with multiple heats of multiple distances in multiple disciplines by children and adults of multiple ages! They welcome absolutely everyone, and the elite athletes are not at all intimidating; in fact, they are very considerate of newbies of every age, offering friendly words of encouragement - as they roar by at very high speed!

Well-attended by BirdLife staff, members and office bearers, and invited activists from Zimbabwe's conservation circles, BirdLife also took the opportunity to screen a recently made short documentary on Wetland Conservation, which was captured during World Wetlands Day Commemorations held at the Marlborough Vlei recently. The film highlighted the crisis facing wetlands, city and countrywide, under constant, imminent threat of building development, and already badly degraded by illegal Well attended cultivation and dumping. The documentary captured the full attention of all those attending the event. Various rare and endangered bird species depend on the wetlands for their continued survival. So indeed does our city, whose continued water supply is dependant on the wetlands dotted about our suburbs, constantly being eyed by property developers. www.birdlifezimbabwe.org Julia Pierini Short speeches of thanks to those involved in creating the new website were also made, primarily by Vice Chairman of BirdLife Julia Pierini.

The children often had lice and their language was peppered with swear words that they had picked up from home. However, this school refused to allow these children to bring their own snacks since their lunchboxes would contain all sorts of treats that would send them on a sugar high afterwards. Instead they provided healthy and tempting displays of fruit at break time. Apparently many of these children had never even tasted fruit before, so to many it was a completely new experience. Although initially some would refuse it and even declare that they were allergic to fruit, after a few days they would start to tuck in and enjoy it. My mother really enjoyed telling the stories of those she had managed to convert them to fruits! This is completely in line with the World Health Organisation's (WHO) guidelines for reducing obesity within schools, and a number of schools have tried to put their policies into practice. However, since children are so affected by their Teenage son and friend eating healthy lunch peers, it only takes one child to start breaking the rules and then the whole programme can be ruined. Recently at a school in England parents had agreed that they would try to implement these policies by banning high fat, sugary and salty snacks in their children's lunch boxes, but one child broke the rules and was expelled for 4 days. Admittedly, it did seem a little unfair as it was not crisps that the boy had in his lunchbox, but an oven baked salty snack. Although some might argue that it would go against Human Rights and that children should be allowed to eat whatever they liked, it does seem that restricting children from eating some foods would be a step forward. After all Article 25 does say that “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food” which would surely advocate a sensible eating programme rather than eating junk food indiscriminately. Certainly, obesity is a very serious issue; WHO has declared that up to a third of the children in Europe are overweight. The Regional director of Europe, Zsuzsanna Jacab grimly commented, “Physical inactivity – coupled with a culture that promotes cheap, CONTACT DETAILS convenient foods high in fats, salt and sugars- is deadly” (The Guardian, 24th Feb 2014). Apparently children are also being bombarded with advertising for these FOR BOOKINGS AND ENQUIRIES unhealthy foods in both schools and sports centres and increasingly through Email: [email protected] Smartphone apps and computer games. Of course living in Zimbabwe it is easy to dismiss this as a problem of the First World [email protected] and nothing to do with Africa. Certainly with our beautiful climate, many children, especially those in sports teams exercise far more than the hour a day advised by Skype: spurwing.island WHO. However, speaking to a fellow educationalist at a party the other day, I started Kim.hacker to realise that it could very soon become a problem here, especially among those children who are not in the sports teams. He said that there was a very high 0777 516 171 - Spurwing Direct proportion of obesity at his school, but then this is a school with many very wealthy 0772 611 554 - Kim parents. Also of course over here, drinking canned drinks is very popular among the young, but each can contains up to ten teaspoons of sugar. The latest guideline shows that to avoid obesity people should only have 5 teaspoons of sugar a day which means that only half a can of cool drink should be consumed and that is only if you have not already had your sugar allowance in your cups of tea and coffee. Personally speaking it does seem that the guideline of 5 teaspoons of sugar a day is a bit on the mean side. I have to admit I am a bit in denial as although my doctor has rather unkindly labelled me as obese, I prefer to see myself as slightly overweight. After all there are a lot of people about twice my size and those are the ones that I tend to think of as obese. Mind you, I might be forced to change some of my bad habits, as my son has let me down. Up till now, as a growing teenager with Hollow Leg syndrome, he could be relied on to polish off a tray of muffins within seconds of them coming out of the oven. In fact, in the past I have had to surreptitiously hide them from him if I have been baking for an event. But since he has become a serious cyclist, he has now announced that he is giving up sugar, and I have to say he has stuck to this fairly rigidly! This means that when I bake something now, my offerings just sit there looking at me reproachfully, waiting for me to give in to temptation. Aubergine Bake So now it looks like I might have to change the focus of my kitchen column Below: Renowned Foodie Annette Eastwood buying slightly, and only include very healthy foods, otherwise I might end up as obese, her weekly Pasteis De Nata from Mr Goncalves in my own description of the word! So this week's recipe is a vegetable recipe, remember it is recommended that we eat 600 grams a day of fruit and vegetables, instead of all sorts of other treats that perhaps we would rather consume. Hopefully it is just a matter of training oneself to like foods that are healthy, and just not eating the other stuff. This is an ideal recipe for a meat-free Monday or a lunch at the weekend, especially if served with a healthy Green Salad. It also makes use of all the vegetables in season at the moment, red peppers, aubergines and courgettes. It is quite a simple recipe as there is no need to make a sauce, although the preparation of the aubergine is a bit tricky. PS: I was quite thrilled to other day to discover that Rick Goncalves who sells genuine Portuguese Chourico was inspired to start also selling Pasteis de Nata after reading my column. After tweaking the recipe a bit to ensure that they were even more authentic and perfect, Mr Goncalves says they have been selling like hot cakes. His mother gets up at 5 o’clock in the morning to bake these little delicacies for the Maarsdorp Market on a Saturday morning. She also sells her speciality almond cakes which looked delicious, but unfortunately I had to forego, for reasons mentioned in my article above.

As I said to my daughter, ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 8 7 2 5 4 Natalia, you have to concentrate on what you are doing, it is no good rushing off and leaving them, otherwise they will burn. According to my son Joe I am a bit of a fusspot about Aubergines, and his nickname for me is the Aubergine Queen. I do think that Aubergines need a bit of TLC otherwise they can end up a bit rubbery and unappetising. If you are a real masochist you can also at this stage grill the jolly red pepper and then cover it with Clingfilm until cool and then remove the skin. I must be doing this bit wrong because every time I try to de-skin red peppers, I find it nearly impossible. Perhaps if anyone has a completely fool proof way of removing skin from red peppers they could advise me in the comments column. Once you have peeled the red pepper, if doing it this way, add after you have cooked the onion to make the tomato sauce. Meanwhile make the tomato sauce. Sauté onions in olive oil until nice and golden. Add very thinly sliced and chopped red pepper at this stage if you omitted the tricky part above, and the mushrooms and courgettes. Stir until the mushrooms look cooked; add the tomatoes and cook till thickened. Add the sugar, parsley, cinnamon and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Put oven to 180ºC and grease a baking dish with butter. Place aubergines on the bottom, place slices of haloumi on top. Pour over tomato sauce. Beat together the egg and the yoghurt and pour over the top. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown, we cooked ours for a about an hour and 20 minutes. Serve immediately. 7 3 5 3 8 1 3 2 1 4 8 9 2 6 7 4 1 9 The Zimtrader Restaurant Guide Email [email protected] to get your restaurant a FREE listing here.

Via the club emailing list we received the exciting news that Bruce Fordyce would be visiting Zimbabwe and was to address those interested at a special dinner, held at Old Georgians Sports Club, where HAC is based. Not surprisingly, on a first come – first served basis, the event sold out extremely fast and soon there was a waiting list! Bruce Fordyce is a renowned long distance runner who amongst his claims to fame, made running history by winning the Comrades Marathon, the gruelling annual 89 km race between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, nine times - eight of which were consecutive! He won the famous race which began in 1920 in honour of soldiers of the First World War, from 1981 to 1988, and again in 1990, a feat no other runner has achieved to date, and held the Pietermaritzburg to Durban (down) record for 21 years. Now 58 and still running strong, he has run 30 Comrades Marathons and will this year run his 30th Two Oceans Ultra Marathon. He also won the London to Brighton Ultra Marathon three times in a row, from 1981 to 1983, and to date, still holds the world 50 miler record, set in the same race in 1983. Formerly, he also held the world 100km record. He has written two books about the Comrades Marathon, and is a sought-after inspirational public speaker. At the dinner, it was easy to see why! Bruce is a modest, unassuming and friendly man with a great sense of humour. He soon had the audience roaring with laughter, and gave many words of encouragement to those who this year are tackling the Comrades and the Two Oceans, some of us, for the first time. The talk was very interactive with many questions and answers, and afterwards, Bruce chatted on an individual basis to those who went to meet him and get his autograph. The dinner was excellent and we left feeling inspired and full of admiration. !
