Jong ma se dood ’n raaisel ANNETTE THERON Almal in Caledon wonder oor die oorsaak van die dood van Cornél Groenewald (21). Haar lyk is Saterdagoggend om 08:05 deur

NOTICE In terms of sect. 10 of the constitution for community police forums in the Western Cape, Notice is hereby given of the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the HERMANUS POLICE COMMUNITY FORUM to be held on WEDNESDAY, 29th OCTOBER 2014 at 18:00 in the Municipal Auditorium Hermanus. All members of the community and community based organizations are invited hereby. KENNISGEWING Ingevolge art 10 van die grondwet van die Polisie gemeenskapsforums van die WesKaap, word kennis hiermee gegee van die ALGEMENE JAARVERGADERING van die HERMANUS GEMEENSKAPSFORUM wat sal plaasvind op WOENSDAG, 29 OKTOBER 2014 om 18:00 in die Munisipale Ouditoriu, Hermanus. Alle lede van die gemeenskap en gemeenskap baseerde organisasies word uitgenooi na die vergadering.

’n lid van die publiek in Caledon gevind. Sy het in ’n watersloot by die bruggie in Mackaystraat gelê. Dit is die tweede keer in minder as drie weke dat ’n lid van die publiek op die lyk van ’n vrou in die hartjie van Caledon afkom. Kapt. Gerrit Botes sê Groenewald het om 07:05 die oggend haar huis verlaat op pad werk toe. Sy het egter nooit by die werk opgedaag nie en is nie weer lewend gesien nie. Volgens Botes was daar nie tekens van ’n struweling of enige gemene spel nie, en hulle vermoed sy het moontlik geval. ’n Nadoodse ondersoek sal vandag uitgevoer word om die oorsaak van haar dood vas te stel. Groenewald was ’n pakker by Caledon Spar sedert 11 Oktober verlede jaar.

Have you ever worked in the Metal or Engineering Industry in RSA?

Haar kollega, Surita Fourie, het met rooi gehuilde oë vertel dat Cornél voor haar grootgeword het. “Ons het oorkant hulle gebly en ek gaan haar geweldig mis, veral die drukkies wat mens so gereeld gekry het. “Ek is geskok. Hoe veilig is Caledon? Wat gaan hier aan? So onskuldig – op pad werk toe...” Fourie sê Groenewald se vyfjarige seuntjie het ’n ouma wat vir hom baie lief is en wat na hom sal omsien. Michelle, Groenewald se ma, was nie vir kommentaar beskikbaar nie. Haar broer, Francois (16), ’n leerder by die Hoërskool Overberg, sê hy is verbyster oor sy suster se dood. “Daar is ’n klomp bespiegelinge oor die dood van my suster, maar ons wag vir die nadoodse ondersoek. “Ons het vir haar seuntjie, Miguel, vertel sy is dood en gaan nie weer terugkom nie, en hy was baie hartseer. Ek was baie lief vir my suster en gaan haar geweldig mis.” Letitia Bruintjies, een van haar beste vriendinne en medepakker by Spar, sê dit was ’n

geweldige skok om van Cornél se dood te hoor. “Sy was ’n lieflike mens, altyd met ’n glimlag op haar gesig.” Bruintjies het vertel dat sy al haar lief en leed met haar gedeel het. Hulle was saam lidmate van die VG Kerk in Caledon en Groenewald het in die kerkkoor gesing. “Cornél was altyd vriendelik en ek sal haar glimlag nooit vergeet nie. Ek sal haar altyd onthou as ’n opgeruimde mens.” Op Caledon RFC se Facebook-blad is die volgende boodskap Sondag geplaas: Die rugbyklub wil graag sy diepste medelye betuig teenoor die familie van Cornél Groenewald (mooi, vriendelike jong dame wat werksaam was by Caledon Spar), wat grusaam verwyder is uit ons samelewing. Mag God vertroosting bring in hierdie tyd van rou. Ons simpatie gaan ook uit aan Caledon Spar (een van ons borge), VGK Bergsig-gemeente en al die ander instansies/organisasies waarby sy betrokke was. Mag haar vriendelike en spontane geaardheid u altyd bybly #RIPCornellGroenewald. Teen druktyd was die begrafnisreëlings nog nie bekend nie.

Nuwe meubelhandelaar binnekort langs Hermanuspietersfontein JANHENDRIK COETZER Bouwerk aan ’n nuwe meubelvervaardiger, Woodenways, se perseel reg langs Hermanuspietersfontein by die Hemel-en-Aarde Village, gaan binnekort begin en sal na raming teen einde Februarie 2015 klaar wees. Propergation Property Solutions behartig die onwikkeling en is ook die bestuursagent vir die eiendom, waaronder dit aan Woodenways verhuur word.

Volgens Johan Store van Propergation Property Solutions, is die kontrak met Woodenways al in Mei vanjaar geteken, maar is die munisipale goedkeuring eers onlangs afgehandel. “Woodenways sal vir Hermanus ’n lekker groot verskeidenheid bied as dit kom by meubels. Hierdie meubelvervaardiger fokus op die kleinhandelsmark en alle meubels is trots Suid-Afrikaans vervaardig.” Store sê die ontwikkeling van die vertoonlokaal voldoen streng aan munisipa-

le vereistes. “Die gebou gaan 850 vierkante meter beslaan, en 34 parkeerareas, teen 25 vierkante meter per area, sal oorgenoeg parkering verskaf.” Volgens Store sal Woodenways slegs ’n vertoonlokaal wees. “Hulle meubels word reeds vir die afgelope 27 jaar in Gauteng vervaardig, waarna dit na ander takke landwyd versprei word. “Hermanus sal nou een van hierdie verspreidingspunte wees.”

Daar was ook ’n klein biblioteek in die padstal, maar al die boeke het met die brand in die slag gebly.

Die padstal het letterlik iets van alles onder een dak gehad, maar dit was natuurlik die klein biblioteek, wat die eienaars begin het vir plaaswerkers in die omgewing, wat my na aan die hart lê.” Diegene wat boeke wil skenk, kan dit neem na die NG-Gemeente in Onrus, of vir enige navrae, bel Hermanus Biblioteek by 028 312 2118.

4 HermanusTimes Productivity award for Abagold

Nuus News

2 October, 2014

JANHENDRIK COETZER Abagold in Hermanus, together with two other companies, Ergoform and Casidra, took top honours at the Regional Productivity Awards held at the Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town, for enabling productivity growth and improvement within their workplace. Abagold was the top performing company in the corporate sector, Ergoform in the emerging sector and Casidra in the public sector. According to Abagold’s managing

director, Christo du Plessis, this award is testament to the dedication of all Abagold’s employees. “Every single Abagold employee has been involved and is a key participant in the productivity programme. “Internally this program is referred to as the Abagold Way, as it defines how we work, rather than being just a project with a start and end date.” According to Productivity SA, in a province where the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) makes the Western Cape the joint second largest contributor to the country’s total

GDP, these three companies beat their counterparts during the Annual Regional Productivity Awards. The aim of the awards is to acknowledge and support companies that continue to play a vital role in shaping the economic future of this region. Du Plessis says that they receive fantastic support from the Productivity SA staff members. “We are very grateful for their guidance and we are keeping our fingers crossed for the national Productivity SA awards ceremony to be held in Gauteng in October.”

One of Abagold’s employees received an accolade at the 2014 AgriSETA Annual Excellence Awards ceremony recently held in Johannesburg. Mtwakazi Ranthamane was nominated for the category: Best Adult Education and Training Learner. Mtwakazi was selected as a finalist in this category and was flown to Johannesburg to attend

a gala evening at the OR Tambo Hotel where she was selected as the runner-up in the category. This means that she came second in South Africa for registered AET (Adult Education Training) learners with AgriSETA. She started with the programme in 2007 and is currently busy with English communication level 4.

8 HermanusTimes Walviskusforum gestig om ontwikkeling te bevorder

Nuus News

2 October, 2014

’n Nuwe oorkoepelende liggaam, die Walviskus Ontwikkelingsforum, is pas op die been gebring. Die doel van die forum is om al die natuurlike hulpbronne van die verskillende organisasies in die Overstrand te kombineer en só alle kernaspekte wat die ontwikkeling van die streek raak, te hanteer. Lidmaatskap van die forum word aan enige organisasie wat in die geografiese gebied van die Overstrandmunisipaliteit verteenwoordig word, of belang het by die jurisdiksie van die plaaslike munisipaliteit,

toegestaan. Die belastingbetalersverenigings van Hermanus, Bettyiesbaai, Pringlebaai, Kleinmond, Vermont, Onrus, Gansbaai, De Kelders, Stanford en Sandbaai is almal lede, terwyl sekere sakeondernemings en sekere groepe met spesiale belange soos die Hermanus Sakekamer, Stanford Bewaring, Gateway Sentrum Direktoraat en Hawston Seafarms Foundation almal by die forum aangesluit het. Gawie Eksteen, van die Kleinmond Belastingbetalersvereniging, is tot voorsitter van die forum ver-

kies, met Mervyn Milner van Hermanus Sakekamer as ondervoorsitter en Liz Fick van Bettiesbaai Belastingbetalersvereniging as sekretaresse. Eksteen en Milner sê die forum is heeltemal a-polities en die inisiatief wat tot sy stigting aanleiding gegee het, het ontstaan uit die passie wat lede vir die toekoms van die streek het. “Terwyl elk van die individuele organisasies met sy eie sakeplan binne afsonderlike mandate sal voortgaan, sal hulle deur kragte saam te span suksesvol kan deel-

neem om gesamentlik tot ’n volhoubare ontwikkeling van die Overstrand-streek by te dra. “Dit sal onder andere ondersoeken navorsingsaangeleenthede van algemene belang insluit en as ’n gesamentlike liggaam die kwessies hanteer met instansies soos die munisipaliteit,” volgens Eksteen en Milner. Die forum sal ook gereelde kommunikasie en konsultasie tussen lede fasiliteer. Navrae rakende lidmaatskap kan gerig word aan Liz Fick by 0 028 272 9800 of 2 djfick@mweb. co.za.

Comment period open for Grotto Beach plan ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN After residents of Voëlklip strongly opposed the building of a 340-seater amphitheatre and a new double storey restaurant at Grotto Beach in January (“NO! to Grotto Amphitheatre”, HT, 23 January 2014), an alternative development plan has been put on the table. An amended Basic Assessment Report (BAR) was released by EnviroAfrica, the environmental planning consultants for the development of Piet se Bos and Grotto Beach, and is currently open for comment. The proposed implementation of the upgrade of the existing area was assessed by means of the basic impact assessment procedure and a public participation process. The development of Erf 4661 (Grotto Beach and Piet se Bos) was vigorously opposed by residents and homeowners in the Voëlklip area at a public participation meeting held on 18 January this year. According to the BAR there were three alternatives for the development. The first, noted to be non-preferred, was the upgrade of the area, including the construction of an amphitheatre and double storey restaurant, coupled with the reinstatement of a portion of the original wetland and modified outlet structure around a section of the perimeter of the development. The second alternative (also non-preferred) would be exactly the same amphitheatre and restaurant development, but without the reinstatement of the wetland. The third alternative, which was preferred by the interested and affected parties, will consist of the reinstatement of a portion of the original wetland and modified outlet structure around a section of the perimeter. This will consist of the upgrade of the picnic and braai area as well as the construction of the

According to the BAR the “first two alternatives were vehemently opposed during the public participation process and were subsequently both reduced to non-preferred alternatives”. The third, preferred alternative would contribute to an increase in biodiversity and will be beneficial to tourism in the Grotto area. It would also be the cheapest of the three options. “All three have a visual impact, although the third will have the least differing from what there is at present and will be in keeping with the character of the existing development of the Blue

Flag Grotto Beach,” the report reads. “The third alternative would also offer a more diverse environmental experience than what is on site at present. “The no-go option would obviously not present any of the positive social, economic or environmental impacts associated with the proposed preferred alternative three.” Written comments must be submitted before the close of work on 10 October 2014 to EnviroAfrica (Piet se Bos), PO Box 4, Onrusrivier, 7201 or fax 086 513 2141 or charel@enviroafrica.co.za. The complete BAR application is available for perusal on www.overstrand.gov.za under the heading strategic documents.

The complexity, competition, technology, supply chains and similar matters that radically affect supermarkets and our food chain will be presented and discussed. As an introduction to this topic, Doug Parker has accepted to speak at an open meeting on Thursday 9 October, on the subject of “Supermarket Wars”. Parker, who is a resident of Hermanus, is regarded as one of the foremost experts on the development and feasibility study of shopping malls and tourist facilities. His work experience includes: ) Feasibility studies for most major shopping centres in South Africa since 1980, including: Tygervalley, Blue Route, Westgate, Northgate, Southgate, Fourways Mall, East Rand Mall, Westville Pavilion, N1 City, Somerset Mall and GatewayTheatre of

Shopping. ) National store location strategy and development programme for 46 top retail chains, including: Ackermans, Woolworths, Edgars, Shoprite, Pep Stores, Checkers Hyper, Pick n Pay, Makro, Queenspark, Tiger Wheels, Milky Lane, Game and Builders Warehouse. ) Feasibility studies for casinos and golf estates, as well as the Two Oceans Aquarium and the tourism potential at SALT (South African Large Telescope) in Sutherland. These studies required, among others, the measuring of tourism inflows together with the attitude of domestic tourists towards these facilities. Parker will deal with the some of the issues that confront supermarket owners and managers in our modern world. He will also touch on the development of a shopping mall in Hermanus. This promises to be a very interesting and stimulating meeting. Residents are invited to attend this event in the Municipal Auditorium at 17:30 on 9 October. -DAVID BOOBYER

Hy is glad nie beïndruk met dié flenter-vlag nie, wat volgens hom al die afgelope jaar in Bergstraat, Onrusrivier wapper. “Dis ’n skande. Die eienaar moet dit eerder afhaal. Die vlag is so verflenter dat daar nie meer rooi en blou bane is nie,” het hy ontstoke gesê. FOTO: VERSKAF

Hermanus First Fridays Artwalk On the first Friday of every month, starting on 3 October, the eleven art galleries in the centre of Hermanus will remain open until 20:00 for all to enjoy an evening walk through the galleries. ‘First Fridays’ in Hermanus is part of a worldwide initiative to make art and art galleries more accessible to the public. Art lovers are invited to collect a map at any gallery, stroll through the village, savour a glass of wine from one of our local vineyards and enjoy

the astonishing range of art and fine craft on display. The array of artworks available ensures something for every palate. If you’re looking to spend R50 000 on an investment piece by a famous South African master, you’ll find it. If you’re searching for a delicate little porcelain bowl at R100, it’ll be waiting for you. If you want to see an artist at work, five of the galleries house working studios of resident painters and sculptors, whose completed works are displayed.

Ceramics, bronzes, glassware, jewellery, watercolours, African artefacts; more than enough to fill an hour or two with delight and indulgence. The participating galleries are Art Eye, Rossouw Modern, Originals Gallery, Bellini Gallery, Hermanus Art Circle, Pure South, Lembu, Walker Bay Gallery, Willie Botha Gallery, Gallery 19 and Art Thirst. The future dates for Hermanus First Fridays Artwalk are on Friday 7 November, and Friday 5 December.

The Windsor Hotel has taken over the luxury apartments, 45 Marine Drive, next door to the Windsor in Marine Drive. PHOTO: SUPPLIED JANINE VAN DER RIET The Windsor Hotel in Marine Drive has expanded their establishment after signing a 15-year contract to take over the luxurious self-catering apartments next door to their establishment. Blake Albert, general manager of the Windsor Hotel, says they are very excited about this new venture taking over 45 Marine Drive, as of 1 October.

The units will remain self catering units and the name will change to The Windsor Self Catering Apartments, which will be offered as an option to the hotel. “The proximity between the two establishments allows for a lot of cross pollination of ideas and energy. “The two products will work hand in hand, they’re both three star establishments that are both successful in their allotted market seg-

ments. They complement each other,” Albert said. The units are in a good condition and they only need minor adjustments and maintenance. Blake said their target market for these units will be local and foreign independent travellers. “This is a large and rapidly growing segment of the market at present and given 45 Marine Drive’s location, we believe we could dominate this segment.”

COWSNAIL?: Hettie Maree, who sent in this photo of a rather odd looking occurrence, explains how they came upon it: “Good friends on holiday from the Limpopo came to visit Hermanus. During their morning walk to the beach they saw a toy washed out by a wave and picked it up, thinking of the sadness of a child losing their toy. They were surprised when they saw a sea-snail attached to it. It appears the snail had looked for a house and had found comfort in this toycow! “Can anybody help us and explain this occurrence?”

EDITORIAL COMMENT Whalecome to all It’s the 23rd Two Oceans Hermanus Whale Festival, and this weekend peo ple are again flocking from all corners of the globe to visit our breathtakingly beautiful town, Hermanus. Being the only enviroarts festival in the country, it plays host to thousands of visitors annually last year’s tally was 110 000 visitors to the Overstrand. The festival has lots to offer, including live music, stalls, showcases, exhibi tions, great food, sports, a film festival, arts and crafts, a car show, helicopter rides and a Whale Parade, to name a few. But don’t forget the whales – they are the star performers and main reason for the festival. These giants travel about 3 000 km all the way from the Antarctic to Walker Bay each year. With our scenic surroundings and blue waters, it’s no wonder that these Southern Rights choose our bay as their play and breeding ground. So come and join in all the fun the Whale Festival has to offer. Afterall, the whales come all this way to have a good time. We hope you do too!

Ons kloek dankbaar oor hoenderbordjie Reeds jare woon ek en my kroos by Onrus-padstal op die draai na die verkeersligte. Tot onlangs het ons nog dag vir dag ’n groot risiko geloop – eintlik gehardloop – om die oorkant van die straat te haal agter ’n weiplekkie en watertjie aan. Ons het geen beskerming teen die verkeer geniet nie, en al etlike van ons familielede in straatongelukke sien omkom – reg voor ons oë. Ons was hoogs die hoenders in en rêrig begin dink ons mede-padgebruikers voel vere vir ons. Maar meelewend en medeliewend soos Onrus se mense is, staan daar nou ’n teken wat duidelik sê dit is ook ons stukkie straat hierdie, en ons kan ons vlerke nou soveel veiliger sprei. Ons kloek van dankbaarheid

Hond vergiftig ’n 6-jarige gesonde Jack Russell is op 25 September vergiftig binne haar eie agterplaas in Sandbaai. Volgens die veearts is vergiftiging ’n algemene verskynsel deesdae. Die Jack Russell is die volgende dag by die dierekliniek dood. Die hond was ’n lewenslustige bondeltjie liefde wat net vreugde gebring het. Hierdie bose dade kan nie ongestraf bly nie. As sulke kriminele nie gevang en gestraf word nie, sal hulle wel deur ’n Hoër Hand verdelg word van die aarde af, want ons regstelsel is nie voldoende nie.

SIEK TOT IN MY MAAG

Signs could be changing the town’s character Having grown up in Hermanus, I have seen it change and grow dramatically over the last 30 years. It has changed from a sleepy village to a bustling town catering to the needs of tourists and locals. Lately there has been some effort to upgrade our CBD and many business owners and landlords have tidied up their premises. Unfortunately the efforts and hard work of the CBD regeneration committee seem to have petered out. One of the issues they dealt with was signage. While doing some research and discussing the issue with various people I came to the following realisations. Firstly, everyone disagreed with what constituted “good” signage and secondly that there is a signage bylaw document for the Overstrand that most people do not know exists. The bylaw document is not very complicated and not a very onerous document and a short walk around the CBD will also convince anyone that it is not being adhered to. The first purpose stated in the bylaw is to “ensure a well-maintained and attractive townscape”. There are a few guidelines in the document that are worth highlighting such as – “a sign may not exceed 20% of the ground floor façade of a building, a sign may not protrude beyond the edges of the particular portion of a building to which it is attached” or “a window sign may not be larger than 25% of the ground floor window area”. These are very important guidelines to ensure that signage does not dominate the building and thereby erode the character of our CBD. This is especially true for heritage buildings, of which there are many in the CBD. Although many of these heritage buildings

are simple structures that may have lost some or many of their original features, they impart a scale and character to the CBD that makes Hermanus attractive. Even more upsetting to see is when the entire façade of a building is used as a canvas and painted or covered in small bits of signage and images. A disturbing trend is the use of graphic images or photographs that are printed onto vinyl and pasted onto windows. These can be seen pasted on the windows of the newest upmarket shops in town or on budget shops in the most run down areas. Whether these images are produced by a professional in a photographic studio in Cape Town or by someone with no design training, they erode the charm and character of our village. The municipality does not have endless resources to police every last sign and they could better spend these resources in other areas. Signage is updated regularly and if we take responsibility for our own signage and place pressure on other businesses we will quickly see a change for the better. As a town we need to convey an image of quality over quantity. We must attract tourists who come here to enjoy the scenic beauty and village atmosphere to get away from the garish advertising and in your face marketing that pervades cities these days. All businesses in Hermanus will do better if our town is more attractive to visitors. For those that are interested, the Overstrand signage bylaw document can be found on the overstrand.gov.za website.

A lot of electricity usage before saving kicks in In reviewing Senior Manager of Revenue Elmarie Hoonenberg Hermanus Times comments dated 14 August regarding the tariff of R404 to fit a pre-paid meter. To effect a saving of 7c per unit, by dividing this into R424 will give a figure of 6 057, being the number of units you would have to use before you would break even with the cost of fitting this meter. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom dwelling for which our recent electricity consump-

tion is 370 units, so dividing this figure into the 6 057 units to break even for the meter cost, it would take 16 months before the saving of 7c per unit would kick in, which in our case would amount to 7c x 370 units, amounting to a saving of R25,90 per month. Not a very exciting incentive after waiting for 16 months to cover the cost of the meter, so won’t be bothering, unless more incentives are offered.

Hooray for chicken crossing Hooray! Its happened! Onrus now has a chicken crossing sign. I am delighted and thank those responsible for this. I was hoping for a Cock Crossing sign with the magnificent outline of a cock in full cry but this is the time for women and children and the hen and two

chickens sign is much appreciated. Of course there is now the opportunity to continue to the next natural step and create a zebra crossing - for chickens on Onrus Main Road. Just a thought.

Municipal deposits – an open letter Dear Ms Reyneke-Naude, I refer to your comment, in reply to a letter “Why pay a deposit?” in the Hermanus Times of September 11. No doubt the Overstrand Municipality will now come under some pressure to cease demanding deposits from ratepayers and potential ratepayers, and the subsequent repayment of existing deposits. May I suggest an approach which could be considered, bearing in mind the financially devastating effect that these aforementioned measures could create. As the Overstrand Municipality could be classified as a deposit taking organisation, which you must agree it is, should it not be paying interest on the said deposits in the same way that all deposit taking institutions are required to do, by law? This is a practice in many enlightened municipalities. Bear in mind, the Overstrand Municipality is gaining financially by holding deposits, either in the form of interest earned on the deposits being held in a financial institution, or, as I believe is the case with yourselves, you avoid paying interest on loans required to support mismanaged cash flow. I would suggest therefore, that you consider taking the morally correct, if not legally correct, approach by paying interest on deposits. Retrospectively, of course. Should you require assistance on this matter, I would be pleased to assist. Regards,

GA CASSIDY

Santie Reyneke-Naudé, director, finances at the Overstrand Municipality comments: This matter is still under investigation involving a number of role players. The municipality, however, wishes to advise our consumers that they are welcome to convert to prepaid electricity. This option will benefit the consumer, in that a lower unit cost of electricity will be charged (7c per unit cheaper). Secondly, the cost of the conversion to a prepaid meter can be deducted from the deposit and the remaining balance (if any) can be credited against the debtor’s account. For more information /or to apply, please contact client services at enquiries@overstrand.gov.za or call 028 313 8000.

More animal ‘moans’ Continuing the Fisherhaven horse moans, may I add my own. I live in Voëlklip and at times the waves are extremely loud. To add to this during the winter months, the whales blowing and snorting often wake me in the early hours of the morning or, even worse, disturb a precious time of my day. My afternoon siesta. Could the whale season not possibly be shortened to 6 weeks and a bylaw passed limiting times of snorting, blowing and indulging in other activities in full view of the public? I will not even go into the problems the guinea-fowl and the francolin cause by disturbing the baboons as they scavenge the sidewalks in search of tasty treats. A curfew for the hadedas would be great. Maybe the council could also please consider a no-fly zone for seagulls over Grotto Beach as they are hazardous to the model aeroplane fliers which contribute to the amusement of visitors to Grotto Beach. Finally (groot asseblief) a pooh flag beach in the vicinity of the lagoon specifically for dogs who have their untrained owners on a leash.

A life celebrated A memorial service conducted by Pastor Christo Nel was held at Huis Lettie Theron on Friday 26 September in memory of Johanna (Joey) Earle, who passed away on 19 September. The service was attended by close family and friends, nursing staff and her friends at Huis Lettie Theron. Mrs Earle had been in the care of the nursing staff at the home for the past eighteen months. She had suffered from chronic osteoarthritis and had undergone two major hip operations over the last four years. Mrs Earle (maiden name De Klerk) was born on 15 February 1931 in Bloemfontein. Both her mother and grandmother had survived the British concentration camps during the Anglo Boer War. Mrs Earle always had a smile and was caring and giving to all she

came into contact with. She was a volunteer for the Aids Action Group for northern Cape Town for many years, the oldest student at 72 to complete a CPR First Aid course at the St. John Ambulance Training Centre in Cape Town, and was also a member of the Hermanus Senior Citizens Association. A special thank you to Simon Janse van Vuuren of Huis Lettie, Sister Van Tonder, Elsa, Bets and all the nursing staff. Thank you also to Dr R.G. du Toit and his team for their never-ending care and compassion. Hermanus Hospital, Mediclinic and Onrus Manor will never be forgotten by Mrs Earle’s family. A special thank you to St. Peters Church, Nashca Funeral Services and all those taking time to remember and celebrate Mrs Earle’s life.

Estelle Venter (oudioloog), wat vir my tydelik voorsien het van ’n gehoorbuisie – daar my een die gees gegee het en ek is verlore sonder een. Sy het ’n hart vir my dilemma, asook ’n hart van goud. Dr. Tilla wat met ’n opgewonde en

stralende gesig vir my en my vriendin tegemoet gekom het oor ’n baie belangrike saak. My dank aan ons Skepper wat hierdie twee engele oor my pad gestuur het. Dankie ook vir hul pragtige harte. Mag ons Skepper se guns en seëninge op hul rus. Weer eens dankie

Thank you for the help with fire damage I wish to belatedly thank and gratefully recommend the services of the following in a fire insurance claim earlier this year. Firstly Dawie Bothma who made certain that I had insurance when my late husband died. Then Derrick de Vries of “Fix It” whose crew did a fine job of cleaning and repainting after smoke damage. Derrick also co-ordinated the help of “Cupboards Inc” where Franville took extra pains (including two

trips to Somerset West) to ensure that the replaced cupboards and countertops were perfectly fitted. Lastly Jurgen of Kyler Electrical timeously supplied a new kitchen light and fitted a new hob & extractor fan. The fire department also came quickly and gave good advice regarding smoke damage, as my good neighbours had already put out the fire. I am dearly thankful for all their help.

Stilte na die storm Haelskade is ’n mak woord in die koerante vir die “drama” wat hom Maandag in die suidelike deel van die aardbol afgespeel het. ’n Beter beskrywing sou wees dat ons hier ’n “ding” gespaar gebly het. Slegs ’n deel van een van die tentakels van ’n “dier” het oor ons Boland geswiep. Dit is byna onmoontlik om die weerstelsel wat Weerhaan reeds Sondag sien opbou het, te beskryf. Maandagoggend, vanaf Sedgefield gesien waar ons vir die Kaapse bus gewag het, het die wolke begin kolk en ’n ruk-en-rol dansvloer bo ons koppe geword. Vanuit die bus was die swart ringwolk soos ’n vlieende piering eers noord, toe diep wes voor ons en toe weer links van ons, maar net anderkant Swellendam het die passasiers skielik ophou TV kyk en met lang nekke regop gesit. Dit het donker nag geword en ’n helse lawaai rondom die bus het gesprekke onhoorbaar gemaak. Iemand agter ons bank het gebid die bestuurder weet wat hy doen. Hy het. Anderkant Riversdal kon ons sien die stert van die “diere” klap die Overberg mis. Die kop van die stelsel was gister reeds oos van die land, maar het steeds soos ’n gewonde ding in alle rigtings getol soos sy makkers in die noordelike halfrond. Dit het gelyk of die hele wêreld vol van sy kuikens is.

En op moederaarde is Weerhaan vandag baie bly hy kon die skouspel sien, maar nee dankie, nie weer nie. Die nuwe front wat aan die kom is, lyk gelukkig of dit by Gough vassteek. Dit lyk of hy woema opbou. Die troos is dat die lugbeweging van die noordwes reeds die lopers begin afdruk en weg van die land af. Weerhaan wil dit waag om te sê ons sien tot diep in volgende week die stilte na die storm en sal aan en af lenteweer met son, son en son geniet. ’n Warm oostewind breek vandag rondom tienuur die 13 °C. Teen laat namiddag haal dit 18 °C. Ongelukkig kom foeter die suidoos tussenin en môre-oggend (Vrydag) is dit weer eers elfuur se kant toe voor ons die warmgoed kan uittrek om die 20 °C tot na donker te geniet. Dit word ’n toutrekkery tussen suidoos en noordwes, maar onse kampioenwind in die hoek by Mosselbaai plant die kishou en teen Sondag geniet ons op ’n kol selfs 25°. En so wag ons maar, al loerende by die kombuisvenster uit, of alles daar bo nog pluis is.

CILENE BEKKER An audience packed out the St Peter’s Church hall last Friday to relive the story, by way of a DVD, of Shackleton 1716 (call-sign ‘Pelican 16’) that went down over the desert en route to an air show in the UK, in 1994.

At sunrise a burning tyre caught the attention of a French naval plane who summoned help by dropping a plastic Coke bottle, with a note giving the Shackleton’s position, near a UN team in two vehicles in the desert. “They expected to find a horror scene with mangled bodies, but found the crew of South Africans, with beers in hand,” said Dagg, who still chokes up talking about their experi-

More than R30 000 raised for Shark Conservancy JANHENDRIK COETZER More than R30 000 was raised for the South African Shark Conservancy (SASC) during a seafood evening held at the La Pentola restaurant in Hermanus, as part of the “21 Days for the Ocean” awareness campaign launched by White Shark Projects last Friday. According to Charmaine Beukes, general manager of White Shark Projects, this theme was born from the concept that it takes 21 days to break a habit. “We took it upon ourselves to educate the Overstrand community on how to break bad habits – the daily

habits that have a negative impact on our ocean. Just as it takes 21 days to break a bad habit, it also takes 21 days to create a good habit.” Through hosting various school talks in the community, it also became a concern for them that children are not that aware of the ocean. “In order to get people to conserve something, we need to personalise the object for them. And one way of doing this is through education. And this is how this awareness campaign came about,” said Beukes. White Shark Projects elected the SASC as the beneficiary of the sustainable seafood fundraiser because of all the important ocean research they do. “The event on Friday evening was

a huge success. With the fun auction and all the raffle tickets sold, we have managed to raise more than R30 000 for the SASC. “As an NGO, SASC does not receive any funding from government or academic sources. We feel honoured to have been able to assist them to continue doing their research by raising these funds for them,” said Beukes. White Shark Projects would like to thank all their sponsors for donating such generous prizes, La Pentola restaurant for providing the venue, Blake Albert from the Windsor Hotel for being the MC and handling the auction and especially those who bought tickets and supported them on the night.

) OOPS: Alda du Plooy from the Overberg Wheelchair Association (OWA) would like to share the following correction: The tiles used for the Waldorf School mural – by the OWA work group, Love Ability – were kindly donated by Sean from Global Stone. Both the school and OWA are very grateful for his generous contribution. ) HIPPO-HAPPY: We are especially privileged to live here in the beautiful Overberg with a unique biodiversity of plant life and animals like leopards, baboons and a lot more. I have been thinking, Cape Town has Zeekoevlei and the hippos were long gone until being reintroduced. Does the Overberg have any historical record of hippos in the area? Does anyone know? Some of our riverine estuaries really need a little enlivening and none of them are good places for humans to swim for a variety of reasons. Just a thought.

What is a braai without a luscious braaibroodjie over the coals. And yes, almost as sexy as a man sporting a tight six-pack, your braai-broodjie should be just as tightly packed. The end result must be oozing with cheese, the tomato must be perfectly cooked and the onion must have a lingering sweetness to it. I often use a mixture of cheese for a braaibroodjie, a layer of mature cheddar, then about two tablespoons crumbled feta cheese and finally another two tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese. Then a layer of finely sliced ripe tomato, only a touch of salt and ground black pepper and finally, your sliced onions. Because of all the cheese, I do not bother to butter my slices of bread, neither inside nor out. But I do know that some people do not like the crispy effect if not buttered – but that is your choice. The sweetness of a layer of chutney or sweet chilli sauce does give new meaning to the braai-broodjie. The secret is to braai your sandwiches very slowly until the cheese almost oozes out. There are simply no shortcuts here. The coals are ready when you can hold your hand about 15 cm above them for ten counts. Then you turn the sandwiches every minute until golden brown.

Fernkloof workshop postponed

Stacey Farao, project panager, on behalf of Omega, the investment research company with Dr Denis Worrall as MD, advised they had to postpone the workshop as it clashed with the Hermanus Spring Flower Festival. “We regret the postponement very much as we had put together a top-class and exciting programme. Originally, our two organisations thought that holding the events at the same time would be to our mutual advantage. But that does not seem to be the case: two similar events like this is simply too much of a load for those interested to be able to support both. “Given that Omega has put a lot of work into this event, and marketed it very widely, we would nonetheless like it to happen and are therefore postponing it to 20 February 2015. We can’t do it sooner as we already have a very full programme in October and November with “In Conversation with TIKZ” - 9 October and “Nigeria/South Africa - Doing Business Together” workshop in Cape Town in November.”

According to Deirdre Richards of Hermanus BotSoc (Botanical Society) it attracted over 2 500 visitors. What held the interest of many visitors, over and above the beautiful mass displays of wild flowers in the hall, were the in boards about plant explorers dating back to the 18th century, summarising their contributions to collecting specimens of the area’s floral wealth. BotSoc member Vic Hamilton-Attwell explaining the finer detail of the Erica species to visitors. Over 380 individually named botanical specimens were displayed in little white pots - kindly donated by Adriaan Hanekom who used them at the now discontinued Caledon Flower Show.

Advice was offered to homeowners on the technologies needed to become more self-sufficient energy-wise – be it by only keeping certain functions going during load-shedding, or completely independent from Eskom. For more information, visit www.whalecoastconservation.org.za. The Green House on the road between Hawston and Onrus operates by using only alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and rainwater tanks.

Message from Overstrand Mayor

whale factor

PHOTO: AFRICAN WINGS

Welcome. Welkom. Wamkelekile! What a pleasure it is to welcome you all to South Africa’s one and only enviro-arts festival yet again. For the 23rd year running, Hermanus – hub of the Overstrand and the world’s best land-based whale watching spot – takes pride in hosting the Whale Festival. Of course, centre-stage belongs to the mammoths of the sea. But as much as we appreciate the pleasure they provide, we should not discount the efforts their less aquatic supporting cast put into organising an event that promises to keep young and old entertained from start to finish. There are those who will enthral us with their exhibits, those who will add to the festive vibe with their art and music, those who will feed and otherwise replenish us – and those who will look after our safety and well-being. To all of you, thank you for doing such a splendid job. Your dedication to upholding the standards we have come to associate with this event is much appreciated. May the memorable experiences of this wondrous occasion see everyone returning time and time again for yet another discovery of the Overstrand’s treasure trove. Geniet!

THE POACHER’S MOON A true story of life, death, love and survival in Africa by RICHARD PEIRCE CILENE BEKKER Did you know that rhino horn is valued between $65 000 and $85 000 dollars per kilo? Roughly, one horn can weigh up to 3,5 kg.

20141652

Richard Peirce at the Windsor Hotel where he and his wife Jacqui, confirmed nomads, spend six months of the year.

“This is more than gold, valued at around $43 000,” remarked wildlife conservationist Richard Peirce during an interview with him about his latest book The Poacher’s Moon. Peirce is better known as a shark conservationist. He is chairman of the Shark

www.basadzi.co.za

Conservation Society and the Shark Trust and has authored several books on the topic. With his latest book he tackles the horrors of rhino poaching. “After I learnt about the butchery of rhinos at three private game reserves in the Western Cape, I made it my mission to embark on a public crusade to raise awareness,” said Peirce. In the book you will get to know the life story of Higgins and Lady, two rhinos from the private game reserve Fairy Glen, who both survived a savage attack that left them hornless, and others who didn’t survive. Peirce recounts a series of

Book Times attacks and their aftermath in detail: the suspect police work, the shady characters, the wily ways the poachers embark on in their quest, mysterious happenings and death threats. Many conversations held with the lodge owners also highlight the measures they have to take to try and outwit the poaching mafia, and the trauma the owners have to endure,while having to still run a business. What makes this book find its mark, is Peirce’s telling of the story from a very personal point of view. The Poacher’s Moon is interesting, revealing, frightening, factual, and very

readable – and it hits home. The story is highlighted by many colour photos throughout, ending with a photo of Higgins and Lady grazing. ) The war against rhino poaching continues, and a procedure to curb attacks is being used. It involves injecting rhino horns with pink dye and poison (pesticide) which are X-ray detectable, making the horns useless to the clients of poachers. The last chapter in the book focusses on anti-poaching measures. Part of the proceeds of this book will go to the SA Veterinary Association (SAVA).

JUSTICE DENIED: The role of forensic science in the miscarriage of justice by DAVID KLATZOW DR ROBIN LEE Buyers of Dr David Klatzow’s new book should take the subtitle seriously. This is not a dispassionate overview of the field of forensic science. Rather, it is an impassioned plea to the reader to take note of a trend towards putting uncritical reliance on forensic evidence in trials. The author argues that we need to be aware of the myriad ways in which bad forensic science or the wrong use of good science, have led to miscarriages of justice that, in turn, have devastating impacts on the accused, witnesses, the police and even state departments. This cannot be a good news book, though it is undoubtedly good news that Klatzow has written it. He correctly points out that detection and forensic investigation novels, films and television series have created a completely unjustified belief in the certainty of forensic evidence. The average viewer of CSI or NCIS or Castle or even a reader of Patricia Cornwell or Kathy Reichs is left with the impression that good forensic evidence is easy to collect, can be processed simply and rapidly, gives absolutely definitive answers and is understandable by the average attorney, who can present it in court in a simple version that is understood by the jury (or judge). The book convincingly shows that this is not the case. In 20 very readable chapters Klatzow deals with specific types of forensic evidence, including blood spatters, blood stains, breathalysers, canine detection, cot deaths, eye-witness accounts, fraud, firearms as evidence, finger prints, hair analysis, handwriting comparison and paint composition. Cases discussed range from the historical (Crippen) to the Chamberlain/Ayers Rock case, to the murder of Ashley Kriel by apartheid security police, to the murder of Inge Lotz (by a person unknown as yet), to Jackie Selebi and Jacob Zuma. Klatzow shows also that even the best evidence can be defeated if police personnel are corrupt. He cites the case of the New York Police Department, where it was found “that lying under oath was widespread and condoned within the police department. It was even given a name: ‘testilying’ ”. The interweaving of information with stories and personal anecdotes make this book an easy read, despite its sobering message.

Taxistaanplek vuil ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Hawston se taxibestuurders is ongelukkig met die diens van die nuwe kontrakteur wat die gebied skoonmaak, maar hul staanplek afskeep. Volgens die taxibestuurders het die voormalige kontrakteur se kontrak drie maande terug verstryk en sedertdien is die toestande rondom die staanplek haglik. “Dit was altyd mooi skoon en netjies. Sedertdien is iemand aangestel om die dorp skoon te hou, maar hulle werk verby die taxirank,” sê Brendan Temmers, een van die plaaslike taxi-bestuurders. “Ons het nou self iemand gekry om die plek skoon te maak, veral die badkamers wat in ’n toestand is.” “Die vorige man het seker gemaak die plek bly netjies,” voeg Gabriel Slabbert by. “Die plek is nou morsig. Ná elke naweek is daar glasstukke wat rondlê en die dromme loop oor.” Nog ’n taxibestuurder, Alistair Jacobs, sê dit is nie ’n onredelike versoek nie. “Dit hoef nie elke dag te gebeur nie, maar ons wil graag die plek netjies hou. Ons het navraag gedoen, maar het nog niks terugvoer gekry nie.” Die taxi-staanplek is die eiendom van Overstrand-munisipaliteit en by navraag is gesê hulle is bewus van die probleem en die aangeleentheid word ondersoek.

’n Inwoner van Voëlklip was onlangs angsbevange en erg ontsteld nadat een van die vensters in haar woning uitgewaai het as gevolg van stormweer. Sy sê sy kon nie die polisie in die hande kry nie, die nooddienste het haar na die brandweer verwys en die brandweer het, volgens haar, gesê hulle kan ook nie help nie aangesien dit in ’n privaatwoning is. Sy het vervaard probeer om die wind met ’n matras uit te hou tot omtrent 03:00 die oggend. Haar hele huis is deur die wind omgedolwe en sy is in die proses deur die glas van die venster gesny. Sy is ook aangesê om in hierdie geval ’n privaat sekerheidsmaatskappy te kontak. Die vrou het by die Hermanus Times aangeklop om uit te vind wat ’n mens in so ’n geval te doen staan. Lester Smith, hoof van Brand en Reddingsdienste by die Overstrand-munisipaliteit het by navraag gesê dit is belangrik om te onderskei tussen ’n ramp, nood en instandhoudingsprobleme. “As brandweerdiens is dit ons plig om te reageer op enige ramp en noodsituasie, maar ons moet egter besef dat alle omstandighede nie noodgevalle is nie. Hierdie geval was slegs een huis waar ’n ruit uitgewaai het en volgens my mening is dit nie ’n ramp nie.” Sou daar ander huishoudings in die omgewing gewees het wat ook geraak was en dit die omstandighede so verander het dat dit die breë gemeenskap geraak of verontrief het, sou die brandweer reageer, aldus Smith. Sou dit ’n dak of enige ander struktuurskade wees, moet die brandweer ook reageer, aangesien dit tot gevaar kan lei vir die inwoners en die omgewing. “Die feit dat sy deur die glas gesny is, sou ek sê die inwoner moes die ambulans kontak. Indien geen ambulansdienste beskikbaar is nie, word die boodskap aan die brandweer oorgedra en ’n voertuig sal uitgestuur word om na haar mediese toestand om te sien. “Ek wil dus verder beklemtoon dat ons wel reageer op alle rampe, maar ons moet onderskei tussen ’n ramp, ’n noodgeval en ’n instandhoudingsgeval, soos in hierdie geval.”

Yomelelani needs help with children’s books Yomelelani Pre-school in Zwelihle is in desperate need of children’s books. The pre-school provides care to children between the ages of three and six years and is open between 07:30 and 17:00, with a principal, teachers and carers who look after them during this time. The school provides a meal and snacks, which is prepared by their house aid. This helps these children to enter Grade 1 from Grade R, with a strong and secure base. Their grant has since been cut by the Department of Social Development and they are in need of some support. They are in dire need of children’s books to help improve reading skills. They also provide an after school care service to primary school learners from Grade 1 to 7 and these children also need books. Any children’s books that are no longer being used can enable the children of Yomelelani to improve reading skills.

The new Toyota Yaris: Own it

In profile, Yaris displays a new door belt moulding and door mirrors – the look is rounded off by standard 15-inch alloys across the range. QUICKPIC Toyota has invested 85 million Euros, engineered 1 000 new parts and spent 576 000 man hours refining the new Yaris. The result is a thorough visual refresh, inside and out, the adoption of upmarket cabin textures and materials, as well as a host of under-the-skin modifications to make the new Yaris a whole lot more desirable. “Assertive, contemporary styling with a distinctly European flavour and a feisty new attitude,” is how Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing for Toyota SA Motors pitches the revamped hatch. “Yaris has always been a sound rational choice. But what we wanted – and feel we have now achieved – with the latest model, is a car that not only connects with our customers’ brains, but also with their hearts.” After exhaustive research conducted across several platforms including press analysis, customer clinics and dealer feedback, Toyota Europe identified three key areas where the current generation Yaris scored highly – outstanding roominess, powertrain efficiency and standard features, making it the smart choice. In the area of emotional appeal, however, there was room to improve. The focus was therefore placed on upgrading the aesthetics, most notably exterior styling and interior plastics, as well as honing in on driving pleasure by enhancing driveability, ride comfort and noise levels. A fourth element has been factored in and that’s value for money. As Crompton points out, “the new Yaris petrol models are arguably the best value proposition in the highly competitive B segment. Quality finishes backed up by a comprehensive suite of standard kit ensure that it stays ahead of the pack. Not forgetting, of course, the unique proposition of its hybrid powertrain – still the only

vehicle of its kind in this class.” Eschewing supermini stereotypes for a highly distinctive exterior, the new Yaris sees the most dramatic execution of Toyota’s contemporary frontal design language to date with sharp-edged detailing. The narrow upper and large trapezoidal grilles, a hallmark of Toyota’s current design, are present but the design twist is that they now merge at the point of the Toyota emblem to form a powerful cross shape. Another recurring design trait is the chrome trim bar which runs through the length of the upper grille into new headlamp clusters, tying the frontal elements together in a powerful, horizontal emphasis of the car’s width. The headlamps themselves use projector technology (Hybrid) for high and low beams and the clusters incorporate standard daytime running lights (LED for the hybrid). In profile, Yaris displays a new door belt moulding and door mirrors – the look is rounded off by standard 15-inch alloys across the range. At the rear, a new bumper design gives the appearance of a broad, lower stance, with an integral faux diffuser adding to the car’s more athletic road presence. The introduction of the new 2014 Yaris sees both versions – petrol and hybrid – sharing the same overall styling, with just a few subtle cues differentiating each powertrain. Ringing the changes are the aforementioned LED daytime running lights, front fog lamps and unique badging which identify the hybrid as the flagship of the range. Eight exterior colours are available, including new Avante-Garde Bronze Metallic (petrol models only) and Pacific Blue Metallic. Lava Red Metallic and Pearl White Metallic are Hybrid exclusive colours. The new Yaris is available with three engine choices – two petrol, and a hybrid. The full hybrid system, a first for this segment,

benefits from adjustments which have brought its CO2 emissions down further, from 88 to 82g/km. Extremely fuel efficient (3,6 litres in the combined cycle) and clean (virtually zero NOx and particulate emissions), this innovative powertrain is at the cutting edge of technology. Renowned for its near-silent running, comfort and easy handling, especially around town where the hybrid system allows the car to be driven for certain distances in electric mode, or with limited use of the petrol engine. The auto CVT-based transmission adds to the all-round smooth, quiet and comfortable driving experience. Yaris Hybrid’s powertrain features a fourcylinder Atkinson cycle 1,497 cc engine that is 50 mm shorter than the 1.8-litre unit used by Prius and Auris Hybrid; it is also 17 kg lighter. Its features include a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system, an electric water pump, a low-friction distribution chain, an intake manifold made of a composite material and a compact exhaust manifold. In a similar vein, the 1.33 Dual VVT-i petrol has undergone secondary modifications specifically aimed at reducing noise and vibration. When paired with a six-speed manual transmission the 1.3 Yaris is engineered to achieve the best balance of performance and fuel economy. Top speed is pegged at 175 km/h (the 0-100 kmh dash is dispatched in 11,7 seconds), while fuel consumption in the combined cycle fuel consumption averages out at 5,6 litres per 100 km. This powerplant is also available with Toyota’s Multidrive S continuously variable transmission. More compact and lighter than a conventional automatic, it combines an easy, comfortable and smooth drive with optimum engine torque control that delivers considerable fuel savings in city traffic. The system also provides a manual mode with seven fixedgear ratios that can be selected using the shift

34 HermanusTimes Ferrari 458 Speciale A: a new recordbreaking spider

BOLAND Auto Sold

2 October, 2014

QUICKPIC Ferrari is pleased to announce the Paris Motor Show world debut of the 458 Speciale A (A as in Aperta). The new limited edition special series is a celebration of the dazzling success of the various versions of the 458, a model that has collected an array of international motoring media awards and track victories, not least a double WEC title and category wins in classic endurance races, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Dedicated to just 499 Ferrari collectors, the 458 Speciale A is the most powerful spider in Prancing Horse history, effortlessly marrying extreme performance with the sublime pleasure of drop-top driving. Its aluminium retractable hard top, which takes a mere 14 seconds to deploy or retract, helps reduce the weight difference with the Speciale coupé to

Volvo V40 Cross Country AWD receives upgrade QUICKPIC The Volvo V40 Cross Country will soon be available with Volvo’s superb new 180 kW T5 Drive-E engine with the added capability of AWD. “Volvo Cars is continuing to evolve the V40 Cross Country with this powertrain upgrade. The combination of the Drive-E T5 engine with AWD will give adventurous customers the power to explore, and all the control they need to be confident in all road conditions,” says Dr. Peter Mertens, senior vice-president Research & Development at Volvo Cars. With 180 kW and 350 Nm of torque, the Volvo V40 Cross Country delivers excellent power and capability. In addition to the new engine’s refinement and fuel-efficient driveability, Volvo’s new 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift makes the Volvo V40 Cross Country T5 AWD Drive-E one of the most luxurious, stylish and capable cross countries on the market. Since the introduction last year, Volvo Cars’ ground-breaking four-cylinder Drive-E engines have been widely praised for their unique ability to combine power and efficiency with an extremely small footprint. The new Drive-E powertrain reduces the Volvo V40 Cross Country T5 AWD’s emissions to an impressive 149 g/km – a level unmatched by the Audi Q3 TFSI Quattro (179 g/km), the BMW X1 xDrive20i xLine auto (170 g/km) or the Mercedez-Benz B-class (SUV) 220 Sport 4MATIC DCT (156 g/km). This powertrain upgrade continues the series of enhancements that has been made to the Volvo V40 Cross Country this year. Other refinements / additions include new 19” Damara alloy wheel with grey diamond-cut rims, delivering not only extra comfort and off-road capability, but also less noise and added rim protection; a new exterior colour, Power Blue, as well as the updated on-board infotainment and navigation system, Sensus Connect, providing customers with a fully connected car. The Volvo V40 Cross Country T5 AWD Drive-E is expected to arrive in SA early next year. Full specification and pricing details will be confirmed closer to the time.

Black Birds rugby-voetbalklub moes Saterdag tuis teen die Green Leaves-span van Worcestor speel, maar weens swaar reën was die veld onspeelbaar en die wedstryd is na Mount Pleasant verskuif.

INSTALLER/ OPERATIONS manager required. Knowledge of blinds, awnings, shutters etc recommended. Must have a valid drivers license and contactable references. Send CV to info@electroblinds.co.za

Die wedstryd het nie goed begin vir die Black Birds van die Hemel-en-Aarde-vallei nie, en die besoekende span het na slegs twee minute ’n onderskep-drie gaan druk en verdoel. Ná heelwat bewegings deur albei spanne, het Green Leaves weer ’n drie gaan druk en verdoel. Enkele minute later kon die plaaslike span se Rodowan Phillips ’n strafskop oor die pale stuur en met harde werk deur die agterlyn,

slaag Phillips kort daarna ook met ’n skepdoel om die halftydtelling op 14 - 6 te staan te bring. Ná rustyd maak Warren Brown en Christo Daniel hul verskyning as plaasvervangers en dit dra by tot vinnige spel van die Black Birds. Die besoekers kry egter ’n skepdoel, wat die Black Birds aanspoor tot ’n deurbraak. Ná ’n pragtige breekslag deur Christo Daniel, slaag Jerome Marthinus, met Brown in sy binnekant, met ’n drie. Die tuisspan was aanhoudend op die aanval en met ’n taktiese skop deur sy kaptein, Saul Siegelaar, het Phillips met ’n fantastiese skop uit die hoek die bal oor die pale gesit en laat die telling sodoende op 17 - 18 te staan kom, kort voor die eindfluitjie. Ongelukkig kon hulle nie Green Leaves

HERMIES VAAR UITSTE KEND IN SKYNHOF: Justin Inch en Kristhoff Krige het Hoerskool Hermanus verteenwoordig by die provinsiale Skyn-hofkompetisie wat in die Kaapse landdroshof gehou is. Altesaam 34 skole het aan die eerste, geskrewe uitdunronde deelgeneem. In dié ronde het die Hoërskool Hermanus reeds stof in die oë van die bekendste skole in die Wes-Kaap geskop. Die tien finaliste het daarna aan die mondelinge rondes deelgeneem. Dit behels die verdediging van ’n skyn-hofsaak wat deur landdroste beoordeel word. Kristhoff Krige en Justin Inch het hulle baie goed van hul taak gekwyt deur veral die onvoorbereide vrae wat aan hulle gestel is, uitstekend te beantwoord. Hoërskool Hermanus, Wynberg Girls High, Springfield Convent PVT en Grassdale High School is as die finaliste aangewys en gaan van 9 tot 12 Oktober aan die nasionale Skynhofkompetisie deelneem. GRAND WINNER: Earnestine van Zeeberg, a Hermanus Primary School learner, was announced as the overall winner of the art division of the Overberg Eisteddfod for her charcoal drawing of a bicycle. She received a cum laude certificate during the competition, which was held in Kleinmond, and was announced the medal winner at the end of the competition. PHOTO: ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN CHOW LADIES AND ANOTHER IN NEED OF A HOME: A split family has led to this pair of 6-year-old female Chows being left homeless. They are lovely, friendly girls despite their odd names: Beast and Bear. They came in with their large mate Diego, a Malamute and are friendly, well-behaved dogs, who love their walks and are quite energetic. It would be perfect if all three could go together, but if not possible, the two chows must definitely be homed together. Contact HAWS on 028 312 1281.

NEED A HOME: Liefie is currently at Moorreesburg Vet and living in a cage. The vet is looking for a forever home for her, but will settle for a foster home. Just to get her out of the cage at the vet. The vet thinks that she has been abused. She has gained some trust in people and the team at Moorreesburg Vet think it would be awesome to find her a foster/forever home that will spoil her with all the love in the world? Contact Moorreesburg Vet directly on 022 433 4883 or contact Erika Senekal via Facebook or Danica on danicapalvie@yahoo.com.

WHALE CLASSIC CHARITY GOLF DAY: The 12th annual PSG Whale Classic Charity Golf Challenge was held on Friday and the winners of the day were Stephan le Roux, Jonathan Meredith, Kevin du Preez and Theon Steyn. Their score of 96 secured them the R12 000 first prize of accommodation at any of the Village & Life hotels in the Cape. The golf day has helped to raise approximately R450 000 for charities in the area since the start of the competition 12 years ago. Seven charities benefitted from this year’s competition.

Kari Brice, organiser of the Golf Challenge, was pleased to honour Springbok Rugby Legend, Dave Stewart, with a lifetime membership of the Whale Classic Charity Golf Challenge for his contribution. Dave played in the very first game 12 years ago and has always competed, entering a team of Springbok Legends annually. Dave’s ex-Springboks team this year included Roy and Ian McCullum (rugby) and Roydon Pybus (golf).

Golf roundup with Julian Shaw One quick item concerning club maintenance – a normal course maintenance programme of hollow tining is underway so the greens will be a little sandy for a couple of weeks. This procedure is totally necessary for the longevity of the Hermanus Golf Club’s greens, and a reduced green fee is in place for visitors. Going on to the results of the past week’s play, starting with the ladies. 32 players enjoyed a 3 ball alliance on Tuesday, our winners and second place both having a super 80 points. Well done to Lynne Behagg, Hilary Dale and the ever youthful Lee Musgrove and well played but hard luck losing out on the count out to Marlene Gillomee, Pat van Renen and Carol Brownlee.

A day of anomalies and clichés for the DOGS On 30 September the DOGS played an individual stableford (log) competition in Kleinmond. It was a day of anomalies, surprises, ups and downs, swings, roundabouts and, it appears, clichés. The greens still had more sand than the bunkers and longer grass than the fairways, but the scores were good nonetheless.

holiday field, in a betterball stableford. The winners for the day were two real characters of our club, Pohl de Villiers and partner Henk de Kinderen on a super 48 points. Second place by a point went to two gentlemen both not backwards in coming forwards Rod Taylor and John Reynell. There were 4 two clubs and the ball pool paid to 44. On Saturday there was quite a bit of rain which threatened to end the game, but it turned out fine. The competition was a betterball medal and I had the pleasure of playing with the greens superintendent Malcolm Bromley, and together we managed to defeat our opponents. What a great game at a super course. The winners of the day on the south course were Chris Conroy and Jan Swanepoel on a terrific nett 60, and the winners on the red course were Mickey Milne and Jan Kuhn on nett 63.

CURRO REPRESENTED IN 7S TOURNEY: Robert Payne from Curro was selected for the u.18 7s Boland team. He will participate in the South African Rugby Unions (SARU) 7s tournament in Kempton Park on 6 and 7 October.

Mountain biker, Anel Henn, finished in first place in the individual women’s section of the Resolution Health Ride the Rhino mountain biking competition last weekend. Anel, who trains with Morne Bester from Pro Cycling Coaching, says that the race was much more difficult than they anticipated. “It was a long race and we did about 90 km per day, over three days. The terrain was a lot more technical than I thought it would be, but as I am training for the Cape Epic next year, I think it was a really great trial run.” The Ride, and Race the Rhino, two mountain biking events,

were conceptualised with the single focus of increasing awareness around the disappearing Renosterveld region and answer the plight of South Africa’s rhinos. The three-day stage race called Ride the Rhino started in Langebaan in the West Coast on Friday 26 September and continued through Darling. The Ride finished on the Sunday in the Hillcrest Quarry in Durbanville. Two other riders from Hermanus, Dave Jackson and Cameron Stoddart, who also train with Morne Bester, also completed the gruelling three-day race last Sunday.
