Die South West Condor van Bertie Ramsauer (Dyer Eiland Visserye) lê weer vasgemeer in die kalm waters van die nuwe hawe nadat dit so byna-byna seebodem toe gestuur is tydens Woensdag, 14 Junie 2017 se stormwinde.

Die buitengewone sterk stormwinde van Woensdag, 14 Junie 2017, het skade in die omgewing aangerig. So ook is die vissersboot, die South West Condor van Bertie Ramsauer (Dyer Eiland Visserye), byna seebodem toe gestuur. Charl Tredoux was die eerste wat gesien het die boot is besig om los te ruk en dit aan Dyer Eiland Visserye gerapporteer. ‘n Groot span vrywilligers, wat spesiaal op bladsy 17 van hierdie uitgawe bedank word, het ingespring om te help. Die span het vanaf ongeveer 17:30 onverpoos deur die nag geveg vir die behoud van die boot. Eers teen ongeveer 07:30 die volgende oggend is dit veilig vasgemeer. Die South West Condor was, soos die gebruik is, stewig in die nuwe hawe aan twee vasmeerblokke (“mooring blocks), geketting. Hierdie blokke, wat sowat 10 ton elk weeg met ‘n mate van 2.4m x 1.4m, lê op die bodem van die hawe. Behalwe die dik kettings is daar nog drie toue so dik
soos ‘n koffiebeker se ronding wat ook met die vasmaakproses gebruik word. Die voorste vasmeerblok se ketting is met brute geweld afgebreek, asook die drie dik toue. Daarna is die boot deur die sterk stroom water na die nuwe hawe se ingang meegesleur - met ‘n slepende anker, asook die 10 tonner agterste vasmeerblok, wat saamgesleep is. Buite die hawe is die boot met toue en die hulp van vrywilligers “gevang” en aan die buitemuur van die kaai, waar die Pelagiese bote vasgemeer is, vasgemaak. Met die hulp van die span wat opgedaag het, kon die agterste vasmeerblok wat saamgesleep is losgemaak word. “Die uitgekalwerde onderkant van die nuwe hawemuur is gereeld gedurende stormtye ‘n groot probleem,” het Bertie gesê. “Dit veroorsaak ‘n geweldige sterk stroom in die rigting van die nuwe hawe se ingang wat ‘n boot soos hierdie met gemak kan meesleur.”

Haarsalon in geheel verwoes Van bl 1 Hy het beleefd teruggetree om die persoon te laat binnekom en ‘n paar sekondes getalm voordat hy die hek weer toegemaak het. “Ek het skaars drie treë gestap toe ek die geweldige slag hoor en sien die dak stort ineen,” vertel Hendrik. “Ek het instinktief na die symuur gespring en sodoende die ergste deel van die massa bourommel en stene vrygespring.” Sou hy die hek dadelik toegemaak het, het hy homself direk onder die grootste gedeelte van die dak bevind wat ineen gestort het. “Ek glo daar was ‘n Hoër Hand betrokke wat my lewe vir my gespaar het,” het Rikkie gesê. Een van die balke het aan die kant van sy kop neer getuimel, wat ‘n paar snymerke veroorsaak het en die plafonborde het sy onderlyf teen die vloer vasgepen. “Ek het die plafongedeeltes probeer aftrek sodat ek kon opstaan, maar het vasgesit,” sê hy. Hy het pastoor Frikkie Zeelie gewaar en na hom geroep om te sê hy sit vas onder die bourommel. “Behalwe vir die snymerke aan die kant van my kop, is net my voet wat vasgesit het effens dood en ek kan voel
my skouer het ook in die proses seergekry.” Overstrand Medical Rescue en ander noodwerkers was vinnig op die toneel en het die gebied afgespan. Spar is veilig verklaar De Wet van Niekerk van Gansbaai Superspar het gesê die grootste verligting was dat daar geen ernstige ongevalle plaasgevind het nie en hy besef dat dit veel erger kon gewees het. Die winkel is dadelik ontruim en gesluit en kon eers Vrydag, 9 Junie 2017 omstreeks 15:00 weer oopgemaak word. “Ons het vir die ingenieursbrief gewag om te verseker dit is veilig om oop te maak,” het hy gesê. Die projekbestuurder, Deon Muller van Red Chair, sê die herstelwerk sal sowat 14-15 werksdae duur. Die ineengestorte gedeeltes is reeds verder afgebreek en die rommel is verwyder. Die bou- en herstelwerk is in volle swang. Haarsalon Snippets Hair van Chantelle Gericke, wat direk langs die ineengestorte gedeelte van die dak geleë is, het die ergste deurgeloop. Vervolg bl 4

Verlies aan inkomste is groot Van bl 3 Die haarsalon was in chaos gedompel, maar was ten tyde van die voorval reeds toe vir die dag. Chantelle en haar personeellede het die oggend om 10:30 gesluit en was nie in die salon toe die dak ingestort het nie. “Met my aankoms by die chaos, het ek met groot hartseer in my staan en kyk na 10½ jaar van my harde werk,” het Chantelle gesê. Van die salon se toerusting is beskadig, asook ‘n bank. In haar geval is die verlies aan inkomste groot, aangesien ‘n nuwe salon langs Overcell Vodacom vir haar in gereedheid gebring word. “Dit sal nog sowat twee weke of langer duur voordat my nuwe haarsalon gereed is, maar intussen sit my vier personeellede tuis sonder ‘n
inkomste,” het sy gesê. Ander winkeleienaars Ander winkeleienaars in die wandelgang met wie Gansbaai Courant onderhoude gevoer het, was dit eens dat hulle baie groot geskrik het. Vir sommiges het dit na ‘n ontploffing geklink. Die grootste probleem waarmee almal eens is, nadat die skok bedaar het, is die verlies aan inkomste. Die winkeldeure was vir tot twee dae gesluit. In The Crazy Store se geval het die winkel se valsplafon gesak. Plafonne is volgens kontrak die huurders se eie verantwoordelikheid. Die besigheid se hoofkantoor het hul eie kundiges beskikbaar gestel om die herstelwerk te doen. Met die ter perse gaan van hierdie Franskraal

Honde getraumatiseer toe dakke afwaai Verlede week se stormwind het oral vernietigende spore agtergelaat, ook by BARC (Birkenhead Animal Rescue Center) se hondehokke. “Vyf hokke se dakke is afgewaai, maar ons is dankbaar dat geen van die diere seergekry het nie,” het ‘n geskokte Annalie Jonker van BARC gesê. “Ons kon daarin slaag om die honde vinnig in ander hokke te kry, of saam met ander honde te plaas.” Sy sê die hokke is in elk geval nou so vol dat daar in sommige hokke tot 3 honde bymekaar is. Van die groot dakplate wat hulle vir die nuwe aanbouings gekry het, het ook begin rondwaai. In ‘n stadium was hulle bevrees dat die kantoor, waarin onder andere baie medikasie gestoor word, ook sou om-
waai. “Die ervaring tussen die hokke, dakplate wat rondwaai en die honde wat paniekbevange geraak het, was absoluut vreesaanjaend” Vera Swart het hulp vir Nols Jonas, BARC se Veldwagter en Hannelie Jonas via Fac-ebook gevra. Binne ‘n uur was Samantha Thompson, Martin Butler en ‘n paar jongmanne by die hokke om te help. Samantha is ook deurgaans behulpsaam met die rehabilitering van die honde wat soms erg getraumatiseer is. “Sy tree soos ‘n ware ‘Dog Whisperer’ op soos wat sy met die diere kommunikeer,” vertel Annalie. Annalie sê die dag nà die storm het Johan Strydom en van sy werkers die dakplate wat afgewaai het, gratis kom vasslaan. ‘n Gebaar waarvoor sy opreg

en gesê sy, Nols en Hannelie sou magteloos gewees het sonder almal se hulp.
Edward Smit is hard besig om dakplate weer vas te kap nadat dit onder die stormwind deurgeloop het.

Leerders reageer flink op noodkrete Daar word gesê: vra is vry en weier daarby. Dit was dus vir Madelein Fourie en Alanda Brown van Badisa ‘n uitdaging om Laerskool Gansbaai se hoof te nader om te help met die voedselnood wat dié organisasie gedurende wintermaande ondervind. Die skoolhoof, mnr Eben van der Merwe het hulle egter met ope arms ontvang en 2 weke lank is ‘n insamelingsprojek van stapel gestuur vir die insameling van nie-bederfbare kruideniersware. Die bydraes van ouers en hul kinders was geil en dit is duidelik dat hierdie gemeenskap vir sy medemense omgee. Kort voor lank was daar 7 groot kartondose vol nie-bederfbare produkte.
Madelein en Alanda was oorstelp met die ‘bakkie vrag’ voedsel vir hulle noodkamer – net betyds vir die koue winterseisoen. BADISA Badisa is ‘n Tswana woord wat "caregiver" beteken. Dit staan vir BA (barmhartigheid), DI (diens) en SA (saam). In kort is Badisa 'n kerk-gebaseerde maatskaplikediensorganisasie wat dienste in die Wes-, Noord- en Oos-Kaap lewer. Hulle fokus op die versorging, ontwikkeling en behandeling van mense in armoede en in nood, ongeag ras, geslag, kleur of geloof.
maar dit tref diep: "Christelike Barmhartigheid - ons is 'n naaste van elkeen in nood!". Die volgende waardes word deur Badisa gehandhaaf: "Diensbaarheid, Geregtigheid, Uitnemendheid en Rentmeesterskap!".

Die verterende krag van vuur Ek glo ons almal se harte gaan in deernis en empatie uit na die mense van die brandgeteisterde Knysna en omgewing. Die verwoestende krag van sulke brande sal ons nooit kan beskryf of begryp nie! Ons almal sal graag wil help en daar is geleentheid geskep waar ek en jy bydraes in enige vorm kan maak. Dit is baie belangrik om in hierdie tye ons hoop en vertroue op ons hemelse Vader te stel en in ons gebede te smeek dat Hy Sy hand oor mense se lewens sal hou. Weer eens kan ons nie verstaan hoekom Hy nie in alles ingryp nie en uitkoms bring nie – maar dat Hy daar is en weet wat is Sy groter doel, daarmee moet ons vrede maak en Hom as Skepper loof en prys. Dit bring ons by hierdie week se teksvers uit die Woord: “Laat ons wat 'n onwankelbare koninkryk ontvang het, dan nou dankbaar wees. Laat ons GOD dankbaar dien met eerbied en ontsag, soos Hy dit

wil, want ons GOD is 'n verterende vuur.” (Heb 12:28,29) “For our GOD is a consuming fire.” (Heb 12:29) Wanneer ek die Bybel lees en alles wat gebeur met GOD se volk, die Israeliete, en met al die vervolging, swaar en lyding wat Christene deurgaan in die naam van Jesus Christus, dan besef ek hoe belangrik dit vir GOD is dat ons aan Hom moet gehoorsaam wees en ons lewens toewy aan die Koninkryk van Jesus op aarde. Ons, ja jy ook, het van GOD in Jesus Christus ‘n onwankelbare koninkryk ontvang. Ons het die beste deel van wat GOD wil gee gekry – naamlik die wete dat ons ewig saam met Jesus in die hemelse Vaderhuis sal leef. Omdat ons dit weet, sê Hebreërs 12:28, moet ons ‘n lewe van dankbaarheid hê. Ons moet GOD loof en dankie sê vir elke klein genadegawe en geskenke wat ons uit Sy hand ontvang. Ons raak so maklik ontevrede as ons nie het wat Dit maak meer sin om vir mans ‘n voorbehoedpil voor te skryf.

Daarom moet ons Hom met eerbied en ontsag dien, nie soos ons dit goeddink nie, maar soos Hy dit wil. (Heb. 12:28) Eerbied en ontsag vir GOD omvat jou hele lewe en alles wat jy dink en doen moet tot Sy eer wees. Dit vra baie van ons, maar die beloning is só groot – die ewige, onwankelbare koninkryk! En dan kom hierdie verskriklike teksvers: “want ons GOD is 'n verterende vuur.” (Heb 12:29) Geen brand, geen vuur, selfs nie dié wat rondom Kaapstad gebrand het, of dié wat hulle self nou uitwoed in Knysna kom naby die krag van GOD se vuur wat Hy gaan stuur wanneer Hy dié mense wat nie in Jesus Christus wou glo nie, gaan verteer. (Open 20:9) Hebreërs 10:31 stel dit duidelik: “Vreeslik is dit om te val in die hande van die lewende GOD.” GOD laat toe dat brande die aarde verwoes – en maak ons oë oop om raak te sien hoe vreeslik dit eendag gaan wees as Hy die finale oordeel oor die mense van die aarde bring. Dit laat jou dink, nê! Ek dink nie egskeiding is so ‘n ongelukkige, aaklige ding nie. Dis immers die einde van ‘n ongelukkige huwelik. As gelukkige mense sou skei, nou dit sou tragies gewees het.

COLUMN:
The Great Knysna Fire I happened to be in Knysna on family business when the fire first broke out last week. The first warnings were already there: a fitful bergwind had been blowing from the west all that Wednesday morning and the bone-dry fynbos was just waiting for a spark. Later that morning it suddenly happened: smoke started billowing up from the dense shrubbery above Brenton-on-Lake and soon there was a huge flame front advancing on The Heads with a dense pall of smoke in its trail. As the word spread, people in town came out of their houses to watch this awesome scene. Sirens started sounding, bringing an initial sense of relief. This feeling did not last long, as the wildfire just marched on westwards, unchecked.
Those who could got into their cars, left Brenton and Belvidere but soon the narrow road became too dangerous and many were trapped. An NSRI launch then went across and started ferrying people from around Belvidere into town. In town we felt safe, but not for long. By the next day the fire had crossed the lagoon at the bridge and was marching across Welbedacht towards the high ground at Simola above Knysna. The village was soon covered by a pall of smoke that drove the population indoors wheezing and sneezing while sirens howled all round. Shortly after dark, with fires lighting up the evening sky all around us, phones started ringing and police vans drove around town sounding
Gansbaai reik uit na rampgebied Ongeveer 400 huise in Knysna en 100 huise in Plettenbergbaai was teen druktyd vernietig deur brande wat reeds oor dae woed in hierdie pragtige deel van ons land. Duisende mense is dakloos en werkloos gelaat.

Knysna staan op uit die as - die Oesterfees gaan voort!
a dire warning: all town people had to evacuate their homes. Fortunately we had friends with a biggish holiday home on Leisure Isle and they invited us across to safety. The whole tribe – grandparents, parents, grandchildren and sundry in-laws – were carted across the Causeway to safety along with the three family dogs. But first some quick and rather disturbing decisions had to be made: what to grab in an emergency like this. Cell phones of course, and laptops, the dogs and children, some emergency rations, tinned food, a brown bottle or two, a book, some sheets, the most valuable jewellery, a small treasured trinket or painting, a suitcase. And if the house was really burnt down, were the policies paid up? Was there time for an emergency phone call to the broker? No, too late for that and the convoy sets off for safety. As time went by it became apparent that the houses on the lower slopes above town were going to be spared and soon after midnight the call came that it was safe to return home. It had started raining gently just before dawn and it seemed as if the threat was over. The next morning we looked in awe at all the burnt-out houses just one street above us. The following day of course the fires flared up again and
9 moved on, bridging The Heads to march across Pezula towards Plett, also doubling back towards Sedgefield and Karatara. By now all local resources had been exhausted and the Defence Force turned up to render aid, with heavy military helicopters passing overhead to dowse fires all over town with great bags of sea water. By Friday there were calls for aid to the indigent in the hard-hit informal settlements and the family pitched in, boiling up huge pots of mealie meal, filling containers with drinking water and ferrying it up to the people in those places we rarely, if ever, went to. When the time came to return home last Sunday, the fires were officially under control and the road to Sedgefield and beyond declared safe, despite the plumes of smoke lingering between the trees in the plantations. The official death toll by then was seven and the most notable effect strict water rationing to preserve what had remained after the fire-fighting operations. Some salutary lessons were learnt: Never say “Never”; our country is still populated by groups of people living in greatly diverging circumstances; this disaster brought people together who would otherwise never have met and in the process some of us have rediscovered some of our common humanity.

Moolman, Manager of The White Shark Projects Recycle Swop Shop in Masakhane, Gansbaai. “Two months ago we were informed by PETCO that we were nominated for a PETCO Award,” Charmaine said. “PETCO, with a professional film crew in tow, visited the White Shark Projects’ Recycle Swop Shop in Masakhane to witness and document this well-oiled recycling collection machine based in the community of Masakhane.” She said PETCO was impressed with the fact that the children of Masakhane managed to collect an average of 15 tonnes of recyclable materials per year. Add that to the environmental education the children receive and it equates to an evergreen solution to waste responsibility. The Swop Shop

The White Shark Projects’ Recycle Swop Shop has been operating since 2007 and is an empowerment initiative for children in Gansbaai, with a three-fold aim: Educating children about recycling and the benefits of keeping their community clean; Teaching them trading
skills and establishing a culture of working for a benefit - nothing in life is free, if you want something, there is always a way to work for it; Providing children with basic school supplies, no child has a reason to go to school without a pen or a book. Operating procedures The Swop Shop operates on Tuesday afternoons. The children bring bags of tins, bottles, plastics and other recyclable rubbish from the streets to the Swop Shop in Masakhane. The Swop Shop opens at 14:00 but long before that time the children are already gathering in lines with their recyclables in bags and even in wheelbarrows! In return for these recyclables, the children receive points relating to the quantity of recyclables brought to the Swop Shop. These points are then swopped for goods in the ‘shop’. The Swop Shop is stocked with school supplies, toiletries, second hand clothing and some toys. PETCO and PET In 2016, it was estimated that 56 million tons of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) are produced each year. Continue p 11
15 Junie 2017 That is an unimaginable amount of plastic, most of which is only used once and then discarded, sometimes, not very responsibly. This is where PETCO comes in to help rescue the day. PETCO takes responsibility, on behalf of the PET industry, to find environmental solutions for post-consumer PET plastic and to educate everyone (from schools to municipalities) on the value of recycling PET bottles. Basically, they want to inform people that PET bottles are just too valuable to simply throw them away! PET bottle recycling is more practical than many other plastic applications because of the high value of the resin. White Shark Projects was congratulated for keeping their Recycle Swop Shop running and growing since
GANSBAAI COURANT its inception 9 years ago. PETCO also congratulated the children of Masakhane for their dedication and hard work. “Once more the children of Masakhane teach all of us that OUR waste is OUR responsibility, regardless of our age or our socio-economic status,” Cheri Scholtz, CEO PETCO said. On winning the award Charmaine Beukes said: “We could not do this without the hard work and dedication of Nellie Moolman that runs the project; our White Shark Projects team and all the volunteers who are always willing to help; friends, family and industry colleagues who help by donating stock. And the real stars of course, the children from Masakhane who are so diligent in recycling and bringing their recyclables to us.”

Dankfees vir seën oor die oes - Ds Dirk vra Pinksterdienste word jaarliks deur Gansbaai NG-gemeente met ‘n spesifieke tema vir die week se dienste aangebied. Vanjaar se tema, “Waarom gaan ons kerk toe?”, is vanjaar vanaf Sondag, 28 Mei tot Vrydag, 2 Junie 2017 onder die soeklig geplaas.
Maar waaroor gaan pinkster en wat is pinkster? Ds Dirk van Dyk het Sondag, 28 Mei 2017 lig op hierdie vraag gewerp en het Handelinge 2:1-4 en 1:8 as basis gebruik. “Kom ons begin by die woord pinkster en die oorsprong daarvan soos ons in vers 1 gelees
het, “toe die dag van die Pinksterfees aangebreek het..,” het hy gesê. “Die woord pinkster hou dus verband met die pinksterfees…..wat was dit?” Die Jode het verskillende feeste gehad waartydens hulle belangrike gebeurtenisse her-
denk het. So was daar paasfees, waar hulle die uittog uit Egipte herdenk het en die loofhuttefees waar hulle hul oorlewing in die woestyn herdenk het. Vervolg bl 15
Die knap grondslagfase koor, graad 1 tot 3, van Laerskool Gansbaai het ‘n verskeidenheid van kinderliedere onder groot toejuiging gesing. Marlette Longland (voor) het as dirigent opgetree.

waarom gaan ons kerk toe? Nog ‘n fees was pinksterfees waar hulle die Here gedank het as die gewer van reën, graan op vrugbare lande en brood om te kan eet. Op hierdie dag het hulle twee brode na die tempel gebring om die Here te dank dat Hy dit alles moontlik gemaak het. Hierdie dag is soos volg uitgewerk: “Dit was die dag nà die 7de sabbat, of dan die 7de Saterdag, dit wil sê 49 dae plus 1 dag, wat die 50ste dag nà paasfees was.” Die Griekse naam vir die fees is “pentekoste” wat die 50ste dag beteken, waarvandaan die woord pinkster kom. Die woord pinkster hou dus verband met pinksterfees wat op die 50ste dag nà paasfees plaasgevind het. In die Nuwe Testament het daar op hierdie 50ste dag iets baie
buitengewoon gebeur: daar was skielik uit die hemel ‘n geluid soos diè van ‘n geweldige stormwind en daar was ook iets soos vuur wat soos tonge verdeel het en op elkeen teenwoordig gekom het. Wind en vuur in die Bybel hou verband met die teenwoordigheid van God - die Here was hier besig - en almal is met die Heilige Gees vervul en het in ander tale gepraat. In sy boodskap daarna het die apostel Petrus verduidelik dat hulle nie dronk was nie. Die mense het net met die Here se hulp begin getuig van die groot dinge wat God deur Jesus gedoen het - die belofte van Jesus voor sy hemelvaart het dus nou waar geword, naamlik dat Hy weggaan, maar sy volgelinge nie alleen sou agterlaat nie.
“Met pinksterfeeste dank ons dus eintlik die Here ook vir die ontstaan van die kerk - waarvan ons deel is - die dag wanneer ons die Here dank vir Sy Gees wat ook vir ons help om Hom te dien en van Jesus te getuig,” het ds van Dyk gesê. “Sonder die Heilige Gees kan geen gelowige en geen kerk bestaan nie.” Wanneer ons dus aan pinkster dink, hou dit verband met die uitstorting van die Heilige Gees op die Pinksterdag wat ‘n fees van die Jode was waarop hulle die Here gedank het vir die seën van die graanoes. “Vandag dank ons die Here ook vir elke dag se seëninge, maar veral vir die uitstorting van die Heilige Gees op daardie dag.”
15 Na afloop van die laaste diens (Vrydagaand), het die NGKerkkoor onder leiding van Aletta Löchner en met begeleiding deur Annelene Reinke, die week met die sing van “Hoe lieflik is U woninge” in die kerkgebou afgesluit. In die saal het Laerskool Gansbaai se grondslagfase koor, graad 1 tot 3, onder leiding van Alana Louw verskeie kinderliedere onder groot toejuiging gesing. Marlete Longland het as dirigent opgetree, met Susan Cilliers agter die klavier vir begeleiding. Daarna kon gelowiges ontspan en saam die gebruiklike Pinkstermaal geniet, met ‘n verskeidenheid van soppe en tuisgebakte brode wat deur die vroue voorberei en voorgesit is om die koue 'n bietjie te verdryf.

The main focus of the study was the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphin, Sousa plumbea. This is a very shy species and can be particularly elusive, so time was also spent sampling bottlenose and common dolphins, as well as Brydes’, humpback and southern right whales. This work forms part of a larger project which is investigating the environmental factors limiting the range ends of small cetaceans around the Western Cape, with the long-term goal of predicting the impacts of climate change on these animals. Data collected from humpback dolphins will also contribute to the broader Sousa Project, which is an intergroup collaboration on the scientific research on Indian Ocean humpback dolphins in South Africa. Through data collection and sharing, the project aims to assess in detail the conservation status of humpback dolphins along our coastlines. Humpback dolphins utilise exactly the same areas of the coast that man does, so besides for shark predation, threats are usually as a result of human activities. Power boats and jetskis disturb their behaviour, shark nets put up to protect bathers indiscriminately catch dolphins too
and, because they favour estuarine areas, they are especially vulnerable to exposure to pesticides and other pollutants that make their way from agricultural areas down the river system and into the sea – often being accumulated in the prey that humpback (and other dolphin species) consume. Two rigid inflatable boats were used for the work, covering different areas simultaneously, so that there was maximum coverage of the study area. Dependent on the swell forecast for the day, one boat usually launched from Kleinbaai Harbour, surveying the waters from Danger Point towards Pearly Beach, while the second boat launched from Gansbaai Harbour, focusing on Walker Bay. One vessel was set up primarily for acoustic work and the other for biopsying, while both vessels collected behavioural and photo ID data. Acoustic monitoring is used in conjunction with the behavioural sampling and allows scientists to describe the dolphins’ vocalisations, measure the frequency thereof and to infer what sounds are made during certain behaviours or as a result of natural or man-induced stressors.

marine project Biopsy samples are used for genetic and isotope work, answering questions about how populations may be different from other populations within one species, and how these things can change over time, while isotope analysis provides informa-
tion about what the dolphins have been feeding on. Photo ID determines who’s who in the population and provides answers on population size, calving intervals and success. Previous data collected by the Dyer Island Conservation Trust and Dyer
Island Cruises has already allowed for identification of about 30 different humpback dolphins from the Greater Dyer Island area! When high swells reduced the work efficiency locally, one of the vessels was towed to Struisbaai to work in the lee of Cape Agulhas in an area previously identified as a humpback dolphin hotspot. The team had 8 encounters of humpback dolphins, 16 of bottlenose dolphin and over 20 whale encounters of three species (Bryde’s, southern right and humpback). They managed to get 6 recordings from humpback dolphins, and identify individuals which were previously seen off Strandfontein in False Bay. They also obtained biopsy samples from bottlenose, common and humpback dolphins. One individual dolphin was photographically identified in Walker Bay, Kleinbaai and Struisbaai during the trip
17 covering a distance of at least 120 km in just a few days. Future plans are to continue with these fieldtrips every couple of months as they provide valuable information that can aid conservationists and environmental managers in decision making on marine spatial planning in order to help to protect whales and dolphins and preserve important habitats for them in the long term. The research team members were: Dr Simon Elwen, Dr Tess Gridley, Bridget James, Monique Laubscher, Barry McGovern, Meredith Thornton, Sandra Hoerbst, Dr Els Vermeulen and Chris Wilkinson. All work was conducted under permit from CapeNature and the Department of Environment Affairs in terms of Section 83 of the Marine Living Resources Act.

15 Junie 2017 What I'm writing to you today may seem a little off topic, but honestly it couldn't be any more "on topic". Life is happening all around us, and as passionate as I am about health and fitness, sometimes there are more important things to talk about than the latest and greatest 5 foods for a flat stomach. "I love you." I can't think of any number of words in the entire English language more powerful than these 3 simple words when set one after the other. They're calming, they're refreshing, they're restorative. They speak healing, they're heartwarming, and encouraging. They make all the difference. At the same time, when is the last time you've said them to or heard them from the people who mean the most to you? For most, it's been too long. In life, you can't go back. When it's too late, it's too late. We never know what tomorrow will bring, or even today. I've lost loved ones and I've seen others lose some of the closest people to them, unexpectedly, without warning. Did they have regrets about not telling them they cared enough? Failing to say those 3 simple words as often as they should? I don't ever, ever want to find myself in that position. And really, how often is often enough? Once or twice a year in a greeting card? The reality is this -- you, your family, your closest friends...nothing is guaranteed.
GANSBAAI COURANT
An 'on' topic The closest person to you could be gone tomorrow. Did you tell them you loved them today? Did you express to them how much they mean to you? I tell my wife and kids that I love them all throughout the day, every day. My closest friends and my family know they are loved. Not because they are left to assume it, but because I tell them. I made a decision a long time ago that I would make sure the people around me know how important they are to me. Life is too short for the things that matter most to go unsaid. For the people who are close to me, I don't want them to ever have to wonder if I love them. I never want someone to have to assume that I care about them. If I'd do anything for someone, they will 100% know it. How? I'll say it. I'll show it. I'll do it. In the big things, in the little things, in the deep conversations, and in the little "reminder" phrases. "You know I love you, right?" Try asking that question without making someone's day. Without filling them with warmth. Without evoking a huge smile. Do they know you love them? Of course they do. But it's little reminders like that that make all the difference. It lets the person know "You're important to me. Right now, in this moment." It's current.
It's edifying. It's encouraging. It's what people need. Cherish the people around you today. Let them know they're important to you. Let them know you love them. Say it today. Say it like you mean it. Say it often.
19 No one gets tired of being reminded that you love them, or hearing that you care. Yes, show it, but also say it. You never know when someone needs to hear those 3 simple words most. With love and gratitude Joel Marion Co-Founder BioTrust Nutrition
May all you wonderful

Melvyn Knox maak spontaan musiek
P 22 P23
Die 74-jarige Melvyn Knox (foto links) is ‘n spontane musiekmaker. Alhoewel hy ‘n hele klompie musiekinstrumente kan bespeel, is die harmonika sy gunsteling, omdat hy “ander sleutels het.” Ons kuier aan tafel by Franskraal Rolbalklub, waar hy bydra tot die geselligheid van die aand met sy veelsydige ‘bekfluitjie’ – die harmonika. Melvyn vertel dat musiek, sang en dans hom al in ver lande besorg het. Hy het in Bloemfontein onder andere saam met wyle Gé Korsten opgetree en was in 1964 3 maande lank oorsee waar hy aan internasionale volkspelekompeti-
sies deelgeneem het. Hoewel hy eers op 47-jarige ouderdom en na 22 jaar se skeiding met sy buurmaatjie, Colleen getroud is, het sy al die jare na aan sy hart gelê. Op hierdie stadium van die geselligheid kom neem sy vrou Colleen (neé Byrne) deel aan die gesprek. Hulle vertel hoe hulle as kinders saam boom geklim het, ‘cowboys en crooks’ gespeel het en dat hy eintlik vir haar soos ‘n broer was. Melvyn se ma het Colleen as ‘Kaallenie’ aangespreek omdat sy altyd kortbroeke gedra het. Toe die twee se paaie in 1990 weer kruis, is hulle getroud en woon reeds 13 jaar in Franskraal.

Use common sense The much needed rain has arrived, bringing welcome drought relief throughout the Western Cape. The South African Weather Service says downpours will continue for some time and temperatures are expected to drop significantly. “Rain not only reduces visibility, but also the amount of grip on your tyres,” says Senior Superintendent: Traffic Services Xen Titus. “So it is important to use common sense when driving during foul weather and increase stopping distances,” he added. “Please make sure all headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals are functioning properly so other drivers will see you during downpours," he requested. One of the simplest and most effective ways to stay safe while travelling is choosing to wear a seatbelt.

"Wearing a seatbelt can be the difference between life and death - for drivers and passengers," Titus says. Staying safe on the road Keep headlights on during inclement weather regardless of the time of day; Slow down; Allow more time for travel; Keep greater distances between cars; Have a safety kit in car, including blanket and shovel; 4-wheel drive means you can drive faster but you won’t be able to stop faster - and having to stop suddenly can make you skid in wet weather; Always clean your car of fog or ice; Use common sense when deciding to travel during foul weather; Always wear your seatbelt.

Are your portable possessions insured? When it comes to protecting your most treasured possessions against loss, damage or theft, there’s nothing like a well-scoped insurance plan for peace of mind. Chances are if you own a home, then the building and everything in it are likely to be your biggest financial investment, so having building and home contents insurance to take care of any nasties that can and do go wrong from time to time is an absolute must. In getting to grips with what each one covers, Hollard provides some helpful insights into the difference between buildings and home contents insurance. Buildings insurance covers the bricks and mortar structure and all the fixtures attached to it, like geysers, gate motors, swimming pool, windows and so on. Home contents insurance covers all the items inside and outside the building – furniture, appliances, artworks, tech gadgets, jewellery, crockery, tools, clothing and all your gear. This is where we come to a really important topic. According to Hollard, home contents insurance covers all your possessions while they are in your home, but the

minute they leave the property, they cease to be covered under your home contents insurance. This is why it’s important to have ‘Portable Possessions’ cover – think of it as insurance for all your portable, high risk items that may travel outside your home and with you from time to time. Your Hollard Portable Possessions cover allows you to cover your items in several ways: Unspecified cover – you don’t have to specify the details and value of each item, but rather the total value of all the items. This cover is generally more expensive than specified cover. Specified value – you don’t have to specify the details and value of each item, but you need to specify what category of cover it falls in, for example cell phones and tablets, or sports equipment. Specified items – you have to specify the details and value of every item, including make, model and serial number. You may not realise it at first, but those seemingly small gadgets that most of us cannot live without, like your smart phone, tablet, iPod and laptop can quickly

add up to R40k or more, and if stolen or accidently damaged, leave a serious dent in your budget and your demeanour. If you don’t have such valuable items correctly insured under Portable Possessions, you may find that you’re not covered for them come claims time, so it’s worth checking out the terms of your insurance. Yes we know, reviewing your insurance policy isn’t exactly riveting reading, but it’s certainly going to get riveting when you find yourself unable to finish that annual report layout on time because your laptop was liberated along with your backpack and cell phone in a smash and grab incident – and you realise with horror it wasn’t insured and you can’t afford to replace it out of your own pocket. Also remember to specify any modifications that would increase the replacement value of the item, for example, the addition of a solid state hard-drive instead of the standard hard drive that comes with a laptop or additional memory – if you don’t, your claim will only settle on the replacement cost of an equivalent, standard machine. If you have portable possessions cover,
then your items are covered for anywhere, including inside your home, so you won’t need to ensure them under your home contents cover as well. Keeping track of all the items you need to specify under Portable possessions cover is best done with the help of an asset register – it can be as simple as a spread sheet that documents all your items, the make, model and serial number and if you really want to be savvy about it, a photo of each item along with the serial numbers. Remember that you need to present proof of purchase come claims time. A register helps to keep track of any new assets so that you can easily update your policy, and at the same time, ensures that you’re not paying to insure items you no longer own. Being prepared and understanding and complying with the terms of your insurance cover is the first step to peace of mind and a smooth claims experience. So the next time Bob Marley’s “Don’t worry” pops up on your iPod or radio, you really can rest easy knowing that “every little thing is going to be alright,” no matter what life may throw at you.

Clean up operation from Franskraal to In light of World Oceans Day on the 8th June, 7Seasrope, White Shark Diving Company and White Shark Projects, got together to clean up a very long stretch of one of the local beaches – all the way from Franskraal beach to Die Gruis. Our oceans, our future With so much rubbish ending up in our oceans it is important that everyone
makes an effort to clean up our beaches and oceans as much as possible. The theme for World Oceans Day this year was ‘Our Oceans, Our Future’ - as life on earth is dependent on the ocean, as well as being home to over one million different species. The deep blue sea employs millions of workers, feeds billions of people and contributes trillions to the
world economy. Despite being so important to humans and to their survival, the oceans are often taken for granted with exploitation of species, habitat encroachment, illegal and poor fishing practices, pollution and marine debris all being pressing issues. With regards to marine debris or marine rubbish, it is estimated that an approxi-
mate 635,000 tonnes of rubbish enters our oceans every year according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Much of this rubbish ends up on our beaches, washed in with the waves and tides, some of it sinks, some of it accumulates, and some is eaten by marine animals that mistake it for food. Continue p 27
World Oceans Day provided a great opportunity for 7Seasrope to hold their first big clean up. 18 Volunteers got together and between them collected 63kg of rubbish in a matter of a few hours.

Die Gruis for World Oceans Day Millions killed It is thought that over 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles, and over one million seabirds are killed each year due to plastic ingestion. Fish have also shown to ingest plastic and it is believed that if you eat an average amount of seafood you could be ingesting up to 11,000 particles of plastic yourself every year. More plastic than fish Studies have found that if we continue to dump rubbish in the ocean in the way that we do, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2040. Given that more than every second breath we breathe is dependent on oxygen coming from plankton from the oceans, it is concerning that we are moving towards oceans where you will find more plastic particles than plankton – the very thing we depend on for our oxygen. Awareness and recycling 7Seasrope is a local company set up by Andre Roux and Jennifer Tomuschat to help clean up the local beaches working with the community and volunteer projects. Not only do they want to clean up the local area, but they also strive to raise awareness in the community and around the world and reuse as much of the debris picked up as possible.

They have started off with recycling all ropes, fishing lines and fishing nets, making them into bracelets that can be purchased. Proceeds from the products sold are then donated to different marine conservation and research initiatives. Their first big clean up World Ocean’s Day provided a great opportunity for 7Seasrope to hold their first big clean up. Already working to do cleanups themselves over the past few months, covering the area from Franskraal to Kleinbaai, this time they teamed up with the volunteers and staff from White
Shark Diving Company and White Shark Projects to clean up the area from Franskraal beach to Die Gruis, covering a stretch of almost 5km on the 9th June 2017. 63kg rubbish in a few hours Over the course of just a few hours the volunteers collected 63kg of rubbish. Of this, 28kg was plastic, 23kg was glass, 18kg was rope and 5kg was metal. The beginning stretch of the clean up from Franskraal beach was found to be quite clean, but as they approached Die Gruis, huge amounts of rubbish and de-

27 bris were found. Some of the main culprits were plastic straws, lollipop sticks, glow sticks, polystyrene pieces, plastic bottles, glass bottles, rope and fishing line. Still a lot to be done Andre Roux founder of 7Seasrope stated at the end of the day that “there was still a lot of work to be done in the area, we could have continued to clean up for hours”.

SEEDINGE:
Foto gee gestalte aan skildery Menige hengelaar maak gebruik van die geleentheid op see om ‘n toneel of gebeurtenis op film vas te lê en so uiting te gee aan hul gevoel van waardering van die natuur. Vir sommige is dit iets soos ‘n sonsondergang of ‘n groot seeskilpad of sommer net iets wat nie verlore moet gaan nie. Ek vra vandag die kans om te verduidelik hoe ook ek dit wil doen. Wat ek benodig is ‘n foto geneem van ‘n roman of ‘n rooistompneus, maar dit sal ‘n uitsonderlike foto moet wees. Daarvoor benodig ek ‘n kundige fotograaf wat bereid is om saam see toe te gaan, in die regte toestande, vir daardie besonderse foto. Die idee is om die vis aan die lyn te kry en dan tot net onder die oppervlak te lei vir die geleentheid. Die helder water sal dan lewendig gehou word deur die aksie van die vis en so kry jy hopelik ‘n foto geneem wat
‘n “opgebreekte” beeld met helder kleure, maar steeds ‘n getroue weergawe van die rooiroman of PW sal lewer. Wat dan baie belangrik gaan wees is dat die vis onmiddelik na die fotonemery toegelaat gaan word om ongeskonde sy gang te gaan. Dan volg die eintlike doel van hierdie hele episode -vanaf hierdie foto moet ‘n skildery gemaak word deur iemand wat die idee van dit alles sal verstaan en gestalte sal gee aan wat ek al so lankal voorsien. Stel jou voor, die helder kleure, die vis wat lyk asof dit beweeg en jy kan dit amper glo, die oë, wat lyk asof daar ‘n vonkel in is! Hierdie skildery gaan ‘n ereplekkie êrens in die huis kry. Waar almal dit kan geniet. Met stiltetyd sal ek verduidelik dat hierdie vis nog iewers …hopelik ….vry rondswem. Met al my veronderstellings is dit heel

Die gure weer het see toe gaan amper onmoontlik gemaak, maar terselfdertyd gee dit hoop op beter vooruitsigte. Ase is losgespoel, gate en sloepe behoort oop te wees en dat die vis gaan nader staan is vir seker. Geniet die see. Seemeeu

Toe nie in Franskraal soos berig is nie, maar wel in De Kelders – en dit maak die lesersvraag waarin twee lesers die digbundels Knapsekêrels kan wen, dus van geen waarde. Gansbaai Courant se redaksie het besluit om slegs die tweede vraag in ag te neem vir die kompetisie: Waar woon die skrywer Pieter Fourie? Die antwoord is: Onrus. Lida Oosthuizen en Marie Groenewald is die wenners. Baie geluk!

Sandri en Dirk Lourens van Perlemoenbaai, twee kranige varswaterhengel kampioene, was altwee deel van die Voorsittersliga wat vir die 4de agtereenvolgende jaar met die goue medalje tydens die Westelike Provinsie Varswater Hengelunie se jaarlikse prysuitdelingsfunksie op Saterdag, 10 Junie 2017 weggestap het. Dirk en Sandri hengel vir die Boland Varswater Hengelklub wat vir die 5de agtereenvolgende jaar as die Top Klub in die Westelike Provinsie aangewys is. Die Westelike Provinsiale spanne is ook tydens die prysuitdelingsfunksie aangekondig, nadat proewe op 3 en 4 Junie in buitengewone gure weer plaasgevind het, wat nie die Lourense afgeskrik het nie. Hul twee laerskooldogters, Juandre en Zandre, is altwee in die o/13 Penkopspan op-

Hierdie twee kranige jong hengelaartjies moet nie op hul baadjies getakseer word nie - hulle het ook al hul Westelike Provinsiale kleure verwerf. Ma Sandri dien ook op die bestuur van die Penkopspan. Dirk is in die Westelike Provinsiale Meestersspan opgeneem, wat in November in Bloemho f gaan deelneem. Sandri is ook in die Meestersspan as bestuurder opgeneem, asook in die Westelike Provinsiale Damesspan wat in Februarie 2018 ook in Bloemhof gaan deelneem. ‘n Besige tydjie wag dus op die kranige Lourens-varswaterhengelspan, veral met al die voorbereiding en oefening wat vir hulle wag.

Deidre Scholtz
Na maande en baie ure se sweet in die gimnasiumsaal is Pieta Botes van Health And Active Gansbaai wat in Hoofstraat geleë is, met ‘n welverdiende eerste plek beloon. Dit was ook die eerste goue toekenning waarmee hy huiswaarts kon keer - ‘n uitsonderlike prestasie vir die toegeweide liggaamsbouer. Die TeamPaC span van Health and Active Gansbaai het op 2 en 3 Junie 2017 aan die “5th Battle of the Titans” vir liggaamsbouers in die Durbanville Ouditorium deelgeneem. Die span het uit 4 Gansbaaiers bestaan: Pieta Botes, Deidre Scholtz, Gretha Hanekom en Staci Groenewald. Dit was Pieta se derde keer om sy vernuf in liggaamsbou op die verhoog te vertoon, maar
hierdie keer was hy gereed vir ‘n titaniese beeldboustryd. Sy prominente selfvertroue, asook ‘n permanente glimlag op sy gesig, het die deurslag gegee en ook gewys dat hy werklik geniet wat hy doen. Die gehalte van sy optrede en die uitstekende toestand waarin sy liggaam is, het soveel verbeter na sy vorige optredes, dat dit reeds voor die aankondiging van die wenners duidelik was dat hy as Nommer 1 aangewys sou word. Deidre Scholtz is die eerste Gansbaaier wat verhoog toe gestap het. Sy het aan die “Beach Bikini” item onder 1,63 meter deelgeneem en teen 14

wêreldklas vrouedeelnemers opgetree. Die kompetisie was uiter mate straf en die deelnemers se punte-uitslag het baie naby aan mekaar geëindig. Al het sy nie gewen nie, het Deidre haar stempel deeglik afgedruk vir iemand wat die eerste keer aan so ‘n spiermeting deelneem. Gansbaai se Gretha Hanekom het teen 17 vroue kragte gemeet tydens ‘n taai stryd in die “Beach Bikini” item vir vroue langer as 1.63 meter. Gretha het slegs 9 weke gehad waarin sy haarself kon voorberei en haar spanmaats is baie trots op wat sy bereik het.

Met Staci Groenewald se instap op die verhoog - ook ‘n eerste keer - het die toeskouers “histeries” geraak aldus die verslag wat ontvang is en dit het gelyk asof sy dit al vir jare doen. Sy het soos ‘n “supermodel” aan die “Beach Bikini” item vir vroue ouer as 35 jaar deelgeneem en het die derde posisie ingepalm. “Ons sien daarna uit om al drie hierdie Gansbaaiers weer op die verhoog te sien,” het ‘n trotse Pieta gesê. “Hulle neem net ‘n kort ruskansie voordat hulle weer vir die volgende vertoning begin oefen.” Hy het hulle gelukgewens met die prestasies en gesê hulle het Gansbaai en die klub se naam hoog gehou met hul uitstekende vertonings.
