THROUGHOUT the world onFriday, Valentines Day, millions of rands, dollars, euros,pounds etc will be spent onwhat has been hyped up tobe ‘a day to express love’ declared or not.
In South Africa, like most of the Western worldcountries, expensive cards, gifts and red rosesare bought, candlelight dinners planned and other romantic gestures are done to express love.
But in other countries things are somewhatdifferent.
In Japan, on this day, the women present giftsto the men to express either their love, courtesyor social obligations.
The gift of chocolates takes place on a hugescale and the different types signify different relationships. To bosses, colleagues or just friendsa woman may gift ‘girlchoko’; one step downis ‘chogirl choko’, a cheaper chocolate referredto as ultraobligatory for people a woman is notparticularly fond of but feels obliged to givesomething.
At the other end of the scale for boyfriends,lovers and husbands, homemade chocolates arethe most special.
Commercially astute, the Japanese came upwith reply day for the men 14 March is knownas ‘White Day’ on which men can reciprocate theirchocolates with not only the same, but jewelry,lingerie, perfumes etc.
The name White Day is said to have been chosen as it signifies purity and white chocolatesare the most popular as gifts.
In South Korea, the same applies but theyhave taken it one step further with ‘black day’on 14 April, when single people who did not receive a gift on Valentines or White Day get together for a dinner some say as a celebrationof single life and others say as consolation ormourning for being single.
Another Valentines Day with a difference wasa long time ago in 1929 in Chicago, USA, whenfour men disguised as police raided the gangsterBugs Moran's premises, lined up seven of his gangagainst a wall and shot them.
It became known as the St Valentine's Daymassacre, related to an ongoing feud betweenthe career gangsters Bugs Moran and Al Capone,both of whom were supplying vast amounts ofillicit alcohol during Prohibition in America.
Back to the day itself.Various legends are around as to its origin.
Some 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ,the Romans still insisted everyone worship theRoman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, wasimprisoned and beheaded on 14 February not
HappyValentines day
only for his beliefs,but because it wasclaimed that he hadcured the jailer'sdaughter, of blindness writing her aletter signed, ‘yourValentine’.
Another Valentinewas a bishop in Italywho was said to marry couples secretly because the Roman emperor forbade any soldier from marrying.Some urban legends:* First man an unmarried woman saw on 14February would beher future husband.* If a woman saw arobin flying overheadon Valentine’s Day, itmeant she wouldmarry a sailor. If shesaw a sparrow shewould marry a poorman and be very happy. And if she saw agoldfinch she souldmarry a rich person.* If the names of alla girl’s boyfriendswere written on paperand wrapped in clayand then put in water,the piece that rose tothe surface firstwould contain thename of her husbandto be. No one reallycares how it all started. Just happy Valentine's Day!
Several Greytown ratepayershave now received demandingphone calls from the debt col-lectors, appointed by Umziny-athiDistrictMunicipality tobul-ly and scare water consumersinto paying the undocumented,prescribed and exorbitantamounts being claimed by
Umzinyathi. Despite lawyerslettersandmany fromindividu-als neitherUmzinyathi norUm-voti Municipality have shownany inclination to assist buthave totally ignored the issue–except of course for the bully-ing tactics employed by theDis-trict Municipality.
Hopefully all the Greytonianswhohavequeriedwhere tosub-mit written complaints for thewater meeting being held nextWednesday, 19th February at 5p.m. in Greytown Town Hall,will attend to obtain answersfrom Umvoti Municipality andUmzinyathi! One customer is
happy though –overchargedR59 000 for the past 6 years –hedidnot receiveawater state-ment for three months – thenin January to his astonishmentthe R59 000 had magically dis-appeared from the statementand just the current amountshown!

GREEN CAPS AT MIDMAR MILE
Well done to the three Greytown families who took part, and completed well within the required time, in the Midmar Mile. The green cap teamlined up (back, from left) Michelle Barber, Nico Herbst, Delia Herbst (middle, from left) Marc Barber, Sarah Barber, Celeste Mare (front, fromleft) Trish Mare, Ludwig Herbst in front of Milla Herbst and in front Jessica Mare. This familyevent was to have taken place on Saturday but rough water conditions led the Midmar Mileorganisers barring all children under 13 from swimming on that day, so the swim then tookplace early Sunday morning.

MICK Prentice and his magic musicbrought somuch joy tosomany throughoutthe province for well over 60 years.
Mick died on25 January in his 79th year,after several years of ill health.
He was a ‘Banana Boy’ through andthrough. Born in Pietermaritzburg wherehis father owned the Ford franchise, Mickwent toMerchistonand then toMaritzburgCollege, keeping up with family tradition.
Here he shone on the sportsfield playingrugby, water polo and diving for College.He played the bugle in the Cadet band andlater was a drum major.
In his last two years there, Mick formeda band with John Gaye and from there on,broughtmuch joy and romance to life play-ing at those old time dinner dances in vari-ous Pietermaritzburg hotels.
After school, Mick joined Hunt Leucharsand Hepburn - he and Adrienneweremar-ried in 1959 and moved to Harden Heightsin 1960.
In 1966, he bought Riverside TradingStore in Muden, and eight years later, the
farm ‘Hillside’ where he farmed crops.In 1994 the couple ‘retired’ to Greytown.Whilst music was his forte, on moving to
Umvoti Mick also became more and moreactive on the sporting front. He was instru-
mental in the building of the Greytownsquash courts, playedhockey forGreytownand Natal Country districts, was a keengolfer and thoroughly enjoyed fishing.
He linked upwith the lateNormanHoop-er, his two sons and the late Geoff Edwardsto form the popular ‘Super Dooper Hoopertroupe’ which played at many, many wed-dingsandthemanyformalballswhichusedto be held in the Greytown Town Hall.
Notonlyanentertainerwhenhesatdownat the piano, Mick’s sharp and keen senseof humour was much appreciated.
In the last ten years or so, the ‘oldies’ atArcadia andConcordia thoroughly enjoyedhis piano playing at various functions.
The focal point ofMick’s lifewashis fami-ly - hismuch lovedAdrienne, their two sonsandfamily,grandchildrenandgreatgrand-children.
Last Monday, a celebration of Mick’s lifewas held and the 200 or so family andfriends present were a moving and warmtribute to the important role he played inso many lives.

BANANAS are said to be the most popularfruit in the world, not only tasty and sweet,but also giving an instant, sustained andsubstantial boost of energy.The fruit was said to be taken to Europefrom Africa by Portuguese sailors in the fifteenth century. Interestingly enough, theseearly bananas were not the yellow sweetones of today they were a red and greencooking variety called a plantain.The yellow banana is a mutant strain of
this and a Jamaican farmer is said to havefound one on a tree in his red and greenplantation, tasted it and the rest is history.The fruit is an excellent source of potassium, magnesium, tryptophan, vitamin C andmore. The banana is said to be of help withall sorts of medical problems even hangovers. After the partying, eat a banana anddrink a litre of water and it is believed thatyou will wake bright eyed and bushy tailedthe next morning.
>> Those stringy things on the fruit arecalled "phloem"Two quick fun recipes:Banana choc pops:Peel banana, cut in half and insert a popstick into each half.Wrap in plastic and freeze for an hour.Melt half cup chocolate in the microwave.Dip the half bananas into the chocolate until coated. Then whatever cereal you havearound, crush a quarter cup (or nuts) androll the chocolate coated bananas in this.Place on wax paper and put back in freezerfor an hour to set.Enjoy!Sandwich with a difference:Toast some slices of whole wheat bread.Spread peanut butter on the toast puta spread of Nutella or honey on top of thepeanut butter.Slice bananas and place on top. Very moreish.Making it more exotic and not so healthy caramelize the banana in a little meltedbutter and brown sugar.
Bountiful bananas
One banana is called a finger and abunch a hand.
WEwere all so glad that our momsanddadscould joinusat thekinder-garten last Wednesday evening, sothat theycouldmeeteachotherandwe could welcome all the newmoms and dads to our HMB family.
So we either played Pictionary orhadto find icons inanewspaper,be-fore one person from each group ofmoms, dads and ‘Little Oaks’ hadto dress up as a fairy-tale characterusing only newspaper and sticky-
tape.We ended off the evening with
yummy boerewors rolls and hotdogs. Thank you to our kindergar-ten teachers and the sports depart-ment for the special time we had.

Further health claims are:>> Because of the high potassiumand that they are low in salt, bananas are a good way to reduceblood pressure.>> Bananas have a natural antacid effect on the body, so, heartburnsufferers, try eating a banana forsoothing relief.>> When those nasty little redmosquitoes buzz around for a bite,rub the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. In some cultures, bananas are regarded as a‘cooling’ fruit that can lower boththe physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. InThailand, for example, pregnantwomen eat bananas to ensuretheir baby is born with a cool temperature.Some historical facts:>> Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphicsshow people eating bananas.>> The plant can reach a heightof nearly ten meters within a year.>> Remember those patent leather shoes try polishing them withthe inside of a banana peel.>> One banana is called a fingerand a bunch a hand.

EDUCATORS across the nation have longdeclared the importance of family involve-ment in children's education. At New Ha-noverPrep,weagree that families dramat-ically influence the degree to which chil-dren are engaged in school, and how theyidentify themselves as pupils.
We believe that a strong family-schoolpartnership will improve both academicand behavioural outcomes for children, asfamilies and educators work together to-ward a shared goal.
To promote open communication, theNHPfamilieshaveaccess to theD6commu-nicator which ensures that they are all upto date with happenings at the school.
To encourage and maintain active in-volvement with families of students, a par-
ent information evening is held at the be-ginning of each year where goals and poli-cies arediscussedwith class teachers. Thisyear, a fun new event was hosted wheredadsand ladsplayedcricket togetherwhilemoms played tennis with their daughters.Thereafter, everyone enjoyed a picnic un-der the shade of the trees.
These early positive contacts show fami-lies that the school cares for, andwants thebest possible outcomes for the child as theythemselves do.
Clearly, family-school partnerships re-quire effort and flexibility, but thepotentialbenefits for children and
their families, as well as the school as awhole, areworth it. - Supplied by SReding-er.
