THEpoisoningofdogshasbecomea serious issue in Doonside overthe past weeks. So far 12 known

cases of dog poisoning have beenreported and of these, nine dogs havedied.

If yoususpectyourdoghasbeenpoi-soned, keep any suspicious lookingfood for testing as evidence.

At this stageattemptswill bemadetohaveanautopsydoneononeof theanimals to determine what poisonwas used.

In desperation an emergencymeeting was scheduled for Sunday

andtheDoonsideCrimeWatchwases-tablished.

Thegroupwill linkupwith theCom-munity Crime Policing Forum (CCPO)and veterinarians in the area.

Ronel Fuhry, whose dog waspoisoned,saysherdogvomiteduppieces of a leg bone and inside themarrow was a reddish pellet, likerat poison and brown pellets that

looked like rabbit food.Typical symptoms in animals that

have been poisoned include vomiting(yellowish water), diarrhoea, crying,shaking, seizures and haemorrhaging.

Inmany cases vets originally thought itto be Parvo virus, “a viral disease,manifested by diarrhoea, often bloodyvomiting and loss of appetite, depression,fever and sometimes death”. Thedifference is that seizures are not a symp-tom of Parvo.

Marklen Matthew’s Labrador puppy,Lady, was poisoned last Wednesday but

survived.“Lady had spasms and then she collapsed. I

triedwaterandeventually force-fedherwithmilk.I can only guess that I caught it early and that themilk neutralised the poison,” he says.

Matthew became aware that several dogs haddied in the area and got incontactwithDoonsideresident Stacey Quarony to spread the word onsocialmedia.OnFridayafternoon,whiletheFeverinterviewed her, her Basset puppy suddenly be-came ill. The puppy had the typical swollen andhard stomach, signs of poisoning, and Quaronyrushed him to the vet, Dr Van Heerden’s rooms.

Despitebeingtreatedforpoisoningandkeptona drip for most of the day, he died on Saturday.

The community is concerned that the poison-ings might be part of an organised crimesyndicate,plotting tocommitothercrimessuchashousebreaking.

Everyone is urged to be on the lookout and re-port unusual incidents to the Amanzimtoti SPCAon 031 904 2424/5 and speak to MichelleHannan.

TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]

AILEEN Swanepoel’s passion istomotivateand inspirewomen.InAmanzimtoti she isknownas

“boot camp’s best” as many womenhave been motivated to change to ahealthier lifestyle by her.

“I noticed that women lackmotiva-tionanddrive so I startedaboot camp.I discovered that if women feel theyhave achieved something physically,they can achieve something in theirmental and emotional life.”

Once that is triggered says Swane-poel, women feel limitless and bootcamp is successful in achieving that.

“In 2010 duringmy first boot campI was very raw— I just had a vision ofwhat I wanted to achieve. I now doeight-week challenges attended bybetween 25 to 30 women. I also holdgroup pilate classes and personaltraining and warrior-conditioningexercises, which is basically mixedmartial arts conditioning exercises,”Swanepoel explains.

In the evenings she doubles up asadministrator and marketer for her

and her husband Morné’s business,Combat Coaching. She is a hands-onmother to sons Bradley in Grade 11andDylan inGrade9, andher twobullterriers.

“I love to cookandbelieveahealthylifestyle is important, so I preparea healthy lunch for my family everyday. I believe in plenty of fresh vegeta-bles, lean meats and good carbohy-drates.”

A high protein, low carbohydratediet is not sustainable in the long runshesays.Besidesherpassion,aloveforher family and a healthy lifestyleSwanepoeltakesher relationshipwithGod seriously.

Her philosophy is to always betteryourself and never be happy withmediocrity.

“Even with gym training, Mornéand I are constantly researching,bettering ourselves, our home, ourfamily.”

In January, the executors informedresidents of their intended sale of theproperty, following which residentswould be given a 60-day window toseek alternative accommodation.

Good, badand very uglyVALENTINE’S Day yielded many storyand photo submissions from schoolsand readers. Go to the Toti Fever web-site — wwwamanzimtotifever.co.za —and take a look at all the photos.

The closure of the WinklespruitCaravan Park, due to it being sold, isnot good news for residents who havebeen there for many years. Our council-lor’s plea to the public for assistance inthis regard should be heeded by thecommunity and if you are able to assist,don’t hesitate to contact him.

That dogs are being poisoned inDoonside is very serious. Nine dogs havedied and the community is asked to re-port suspicious people hanging aroundproperties to the Toti SPCA.

Choosing the best schoolfor you child is vital

>> A vital consideration isto listen to what your childwants

ONEof thebiggestmistakesonecanmakewhen choosing a new school for yourchild, is not making an informed deci-

sion.Listen to recommendation of your child’s

current teachers, attend open days and talk toother parents. Ask specific questions such aswhat issuestheyhavehadtodealwithandhowit was dealt with, advises a local pre-primaryschool principal.

“Itisalsoimportanttoknowyourchild,whattheirstrengthsare.Aretheygoodatacademicsor sport or culturally inclined. It is also not tosay if your one child was happy at a particularschool, it would be the same for all your chil-dren, every child is unique,” she says.

One should consider childrenwith learningdifficulties,somemain-streamschoolsarebet-ter equipped to deal with learning difficulties.A starting point for your decision would be tomake a list ofwhat you, as a parent, need fromthe school andwhat your child’s requirements

are.Lookatwhattheschooloffers,someschool’s

pridethemselvesonbeingmoretechnologyad-vanced, while for others interaction with chil-dren is important.

The education expert says a school shouldnotbecomesotechnical that itcreatesabarrierbetweenpupils and teachers. Teachers shouldget to know the heart of a child. “By the sametoken it is important to be vigilant if your childisexperiencingproblemsandaddress these is-sues with teachers,” she adds.

Another vital consideration is to listen towhat your childwants anddiscuss thebest op-tion.

“The benefit of a local school is that you, asparent, already know other parents and whoyour child is interacting with. You are familiarwiththeproblemsinyourcommunityandhavethe benefit of not having to travel. The big cityschools offer more in terms of curriculum andare in a position to employ highly qualifiedteachers.

If you are looking at a high school, remem-ber not to look at only Grade 8, but look at thesubject selection for Grade 10.

“Ask the schoolwhat is procedure is if therearenotenoughpupilstakingaspecificsubject,”the education expert says.

Visie virbesighede

TANIA SANDBERG>> [email protected]

VISIE tesame met die waagmoed omdit deur te voer bring lewensvervu-lling, het Willie Botha, stigter van

Leadership Enrichment and Development(Lead) Donderdag tydens Durban Sake-kamer se vergadering op 12 Februariegesê.

Botha het die sakekamer toegespreekoor ‘n visie vir 2015. Volgens hom is daarsewe boustene vir suksesvolle visie.

“Visie begin as die antwoord op nood of‘n probleem. Moeder Theresa het elke dagoppadwerk toe tussen vele honger kindersdeurgeloop. Dit het haar aangespoor om tebedank en al haar pensioengeld te span-deer omvoedsel vir kinders te koop,” sê hy.

Visie is verder in kontras met realiteit.“Die situasie benodig verandering, die

verskuiwing van grense,” sê Botha.Hy voeg by dat dit daar normaalweg ‘n

tekort aan bronne en finansies enhindern-isse is. Bothahet tweedensbeklemtoondatvisie nie altyd onmiddellike aksie benodignie.

“Atlete wat te gou uit die blokke springstruikel. In diemeeste gevalle is geduld be-langrikerasaksie.Visiehet‘nvormingstyd-perk,” sê hy.

Omstandighede plaas en berei jou voorom jou visie te kan bereik.

“Die tydtussendieontstaanvanjouvisieendievevullingvan jouvisie isdiewoestyn-periode.As jy teugkyknadie visie se vervu-llingsalhierdieperiodesinmaak,”sêBotha.

Volgens hom kom ondersoek voor on-derneem.

“NehemiahetrondomthemuurvanJer-igo geloop, voordat hy opdrag gegee het virdie Jerigo inval. ‘n Mens het antwoordenodig om mense te kan oorreed om by jou

visie in te koop.”Hy het besigheidseienaars gewaarsku

om nie toe te laat dat hul aandag afgeleiword nie en dat hulle moet fokus op hul vi-sie.

“Leer omnee te sê vir goeie geleenthedewat nie deel is van jou visie nie.”

Visie benodig aanhoudende aandag.“Dit is belangrik om jouself te meet om

te sien of jy nog op die merk is.“Goeie leiers vertel jou nie hoe om dit te

doen nie, hul wys jou hoe om dit te doen,”sê hy.

South Africa, initially building medi-um-sized commercial trucks, reportsthe automaker.

Hyundai SA’s general manager ofcorporate communications DeonSonnekus said its factory in Benoni,Gauteng has been assembling truckssince July 2014, ahead of a formallaunch in September 2014.

Sonnekus said: “This is the firsttime that Hyundai has set up an as-sembly plant in South Africa.”

He adds that the automaker ex-pects to also assemble pick-up trucksin 2015.

“The opening of this assemblyplant forms an ideal platform fromwhich to strengthen our businessstrategy, both in termsof commercialmarket growth and sustainability, as

well as an increasing commitmentand investment in the South Africaneconomy,”saysWadeGriffin,directorof commercial vehicles at HyundaiAutomotive SA.

“We believe that there are strongopportunities through investmentandlocalassemblytocapitaliseonforourbusiness.This substantial invest-ment will also help to improve localskillsandtocreatejobsinaneconomythat is indireneedof suchopportuni-ties.”

South Africa is the continent’sleading automotive manufacturerand aims to build 1.2million vehiclesby 2020.

However, labour strikes and slow-ing economic growth in recentmonths have curbed output at thelocal factories of some of the world’stop automakers including Ford,Toyota and BMW. – Wheels24.
