Gruongeluk op N2 JANINE VAN DER RIET

’n Botsing reg van voor op 3 Julie het die lewe geëis van ’n wiskundeonderwyser aan die Hoërskool Hermanus. Die gedenkdiens vir Hester Nel, wat in dié ongeluk op die toneel dood is, word vandag (Donderdag 10 Julie) by die NG gemeente in Hermanus gehou. Dié geliefde onderwyser gee die afgelope sewe jaar by die hoërskool klas. Sy het Donderdagoggend eers ’n koppie koffie saam met haar man, Johan, by hul huis in Hermanus Heights geniet voordat sy na Villiersdorp vertrek het om minderbevoorregte leerders in dié dorp gedurende die skoolvakansie met ekstra wiskundelesse te help. Hester (59) het daarna by haar ma, wat in ’n ouetehuis in die Paarl bly, gaan kuier voor sy op pad terug na Hermanus by haar seun Louis en dogter Joanine in Stellenbosch gaan inloer het. Nadat sy almal gegroet het, was sy op die N2 naby Grabouw op pad terug Hermanus toe, in ’n botsing reg van voor met ’n ander voertuig betrokke. Volgens lt. Raldeen Atson van die Grabouw-polisie, is Hester op die toneel dood verklaar. Die bestuurder van die ander voertuig, Clayton Hindle van Somerset Wes, is volgens James Wayne, ’n familievriend, in ’n kritieke toestand met verskeie beenbreuke in die intensiewesorgeenheid van die MediClinic Vergelegen opgeneem, waar hy steeds in ’n kritieke toestand verkeer.

die Nel-familie het sedert die ongeluk op die sosiale netwerk Facebook ingestroom. Familielede, kollegas, vriende en verskeie leerders is geskok oor Hester se skielike dood. Ria Bouwer Theron, die skoolsekretaresse, is baie hartseer oor haar vriendin en kollega se skielike heengaan. “Hester skuld my nog bran muffins. By elke sportgeleentheid was sy verantwoordelik vir die spyseniering. Dan het sy die heerlikste muffins gebak met appel en wortel in. By die laaste byeenkoms het sy nie gebak nie, en toe sy my teleurstelling sien, het sy belowe sy sal vir my spesiaal met die volgende geleentheid bak, wat nou nooit gaan gebeur nie,” het Bouwer Theron gesê. “Ek kon so lekker met haar gesels. Altyd. Oor enigiets. Ek onthou haar as iemand met ’n passie vir onderwys en spesifiek vir wiskunde. Sy het altyd die ekstra myl geloop. En dis juis weens haar passie om ander te help dat sy haar lewe op so ’n noot moes afsluit.” Skoolhoof Greg Hassenkamp het gesê die skool is erg geskok oor die voorval. “Dit was ’n hartseer dag. Sy was ’n ongelooflike onderwyser en briljant in die klaskamer. Sy was alles wat ’n mens in ’n onderwyser sou wou hê.” Die owerhede ondersoek die ongeluk. Hester se man, Johan, sê die teraardebestelling om 13:00 Donderdag 10 Julie is slegs vir familie. “Die gedenkdiens sal om 14:00 by die NG gemeente in Hermanus plaasvind wat vir alle belangstellendes oop is.” ) Huldeblyke aan Hester op bl. 7.

Attempted raped at stop and go JANINE VAN DER RIET A woman working at the stop and go system while the roadworks project is being completed on the R43 Hemel-enAarde Road between Hermanus and Caledon, was attacked and almost raped on Sunday morning at around 10:00. The woman was working alone at the stop and go station near the farm Spookfontein, when she saw a man standing in the little office stationed next to the stop and go area. According to lieutenant Fadila September, spokesperson for the Hermanus police, the man grabbed the woman and started to tear all her clothes off. “He was about to rape her, when a vehicle stopped and he ran away.” The woman was taken to the police station and also received trauma counselling. The suspect had a cream jacket and light coloured pants and a cap on.

A case of attempted rape has been opened at the Hermanus police station. No arrests have been made at this stage. Warrant Officer Edward Abels can be contacted on 028 313 7000.

The contractor on site, Kingstone Gore said on Wednesday they are aware of the incident. “We can only comment when all information like medical reports are available,” Gore said. Kingstone Gore After many attempts by the Hermanus Times to receive comment from Brink & Heath Civils, the company did not respond by the time of going to print.

A woman working at the stop and go system on the R320 near the farm Spookfontein was almost raped on Sunday morning.

Woman injured after falling off cliff near Marine Hotel JANINE VAN DER RIET A woman suffered serious injuries including multiple fractures and head trauma after falling more than 10 m off a cliff near The Marine Hotel on Monday afternoon. The place where she fell is almost exactly where a German tourist had slipped and fell from the cliff top in November 2011. Responding to an emergency call-out around lunchtime on Monday, Emergency Medical Rescue (EMR) and Metro Ambulance Services were on the scene quickly and found the woman at the bottom of the cliff, in severe pain. They stabilised her before carrying her up

the steep incline and transporting her to Hermanus Provincial Hospital. “She was very confused and wasn’t sure what happened to cause her to fall,” said a paramedic from EMR who assisted at the scene. “Her confused state could be due to a possible concussion.” Management at The Marine rushed to the scene immediately when they heard about the fall. They offered blankets to the ambulance personnel for the victim and also tried to keep members of the public away from the cliff while the woman was attended to. Hennie Niemand, manager of Hermanus

Public Protection (HPP) said HPP guards and supervisors also ran to the scene when they saw people gathering around the cliff, just seconds after the incident occurred, and offered their help. According to Jo-Anne Otto, spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Health, the patient, who cannot be named due to patient confidentiality protocols, has been transferred from Hermanus Provincial Hospital to Worcester Hospital a few hours after the incident. “The patient is in a stable condition and is being evaluated for possible surgical procedure and further care,” Otto said on Tuesday.

Desperation drives families to seek shelter with the homeless KERRY VAN RENSBURG Families with children have been seeking accommodation at the temporary night shelter in Hermanus that was set up to provide the homeless with a place to sleep and a plate of food during the winter. Les Abbott, chairperson of the Night Shelter Association, says: “In the last four weeks I have had two couples and two families with children, who are not part of the regular group of bergies or homeless community, looking for shelter.” Abbott says: “There is a bigger problem

growing. Other sectors of society are in need of help. Why are families with two kids pitching up at the shelter?” He says this trend is possibly as a result of people losing their jobs, and with no income can no longer afford to pay their rent. The recession is biting people harder than we realise. Abbott says he has spoken to other people working closely with people in need, who say this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to families who were once doing well, who can no longer make ends meet. The Hermanus Night Shelter committee has been in existence for more than

five years, and operates as a sub-committee of the Poverty Alleviation Forum The current night shelter for the homeless is in a converted garage near the Hermanus clinic, but land has been allocated opposite the Waste Transfer Station in Zwelihle so that a new and bigger shelter can be established. Abbott says the application for this land will be considered by council in August. He says the situation with the homeless is not his problem, it is the municipality’s problem. “But we, as the Night Shelter Association, have taken on this social problem.”

Laaste dae vir De Mondinwoners JANINE VAN DER RIET “Ek is nie klaar met die munisipaliteit nie. Nog lank nie klaar nie!” So het een van die laaste inwoners van die De Mond-karavaanpark in Voëlklip Maandag gesê ná sy haar huis begin oppak het. Dit volg ná die Overstrand-munisipaliteit in ’n jarelange hofgeding ’n uitsettingsbevel by die Kaapse Hooggeregshof teen inwoners verkry het. Die geding spruit uit die besluit wat die munisipaliteit geneem het om nie sy huurooreenkoms met die De Mond-karavaanparkvereniging (DMKV), wat die kamp bestuur, te verleng nie. Die kontrak het op 29 Februarie 2012 verstryk. Van die 219 betalende lede van die DMKV, waarvan die meeste hul staanplekke vir vakansiedoeleindes benut het, het almal reeds hul huise ontruim of elders heen vervoer, behalwe vir drie permanente inwoners. Hanna Auret (66) het dié week haar lewensbesittings begin inpak. Sy moet teen einde volgende week op die laatste die perseel verlaat, volgens ’n hofbevel. Sy is bitter en teleurgesteld, maar sê die feit dat sy trek, beteken nie dat sy klaar is met die munisipaliteit nie. “Ek sal die saak los as die munisipaliteit minstens R500 000 aan my uitbetaal. Ek het

my huis aan mense van Bredasdorp verkoop en hulle gaan die huis kom haal en na ’n ander perseel neem. Ek kry maar R75 000 vir die huis met sy groot houtstoep.” Haar buurman, Keith Hampshire, se huis staan nog langs haar huis, maar Auret sê hy bly nou by familie in Durban nadat hy kanker opgedoen het. “Ons is nie seker wanneer ons ander buurvrou, woonagtig in die derde huis, gaan trek nie,” sê Aurett.

Die sekuriteit is baie streng by dié karavaanpark. Met die Hermanus Times se besoek aan die perseel, moes Auret eers gebel word vir toestemming. Hierna moes sy na die hek ry om haarself, sowel as die joernalis in te teken. Identiteitsnommers en nommerplaatnommers word ook vereis. Auret sê besoekers mag glad nie oornag nie. “My vriende en familie mag van 08:00 tot 17:00 my besoek. Nou die dag was my niggie hier, en net na 17:00 het die sekuriteitsbeampte aan my deur geklop en gesê die besoekers moet uitteken.” Dalk is die sekuriteit ’n goeie ding, reken Auret. Behalwe vir die inbrake voorheen, waar inbrekers onder andere selfs haar yskas weggedra het, is die park snags donker en met al die huise wat geskuif of gesloop is, is dié eens beroemde vakansie-oord nou baie leeg, en stil. Auret sê sy gaan nou by familie in die Kaap bly. En haar ongelooflike mooi uitsig oor die mond en see verruil vir ’n slaapplek op haar suster se sitkamerbank. Volgens Lionel Wallace, senior bestuurder van regsdienste by die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, is die terrein in terme van die hofbevel skoongemaak. “Daar is nog twee okkupeerders in die kamp. Overstrand-munisipaliteit het alles moontlik gedoen om die oorblywende inwoners te akkommodeer.”

Kleinmonders is Bruidspaar van die Jaar ’n Paartjie van Kleinmond is pas aangewys as SARIE-tydskrif se Bruidspaar van die Jaar vir 2013. Die bruidegom, Chris Venter, is ’n fanatiese sportman en veral gholfspeler en sy bruid, Rachel van Wyk, bedryf al die afgelope vier jaar ’n haar- en grimeersalon in Kleinmond. Dié twee het tussen hul studies deur in 2007 ogies vir mekaar gemaak en Rachel sê “daar was dadelik ’n spesiale geestes- en vriendskapsband tussen ons en sedertdien is ons onafskeidbaar”. Dié twee verliefdes is op ’n warm Karoo-dag op 21 Desember 2013 getroud op Gary Player se perdeplaas Rietfontein, naby Colesberg. “Alhoewel ons in Kleinmond woon, het ons gekies om in Colesberg op die plaas te trou waar Chris ’n groot deel van sy lewe deurgebring het. Volgens Rachel, die dogter van Leon en Loumarie

van Wyk van Caledon, wat in Kleinmond afgetree het, was hul troudag ’n dag propvol omgee, pret en DIY-elemente. “Ons was omring deur geliefdes en vriende wat nie twee keer gedink het om hulp aan te bied nie. Met die samewerking van ons geliefdes sal ons altyd ons troudag onthou as ’n gemaklike, informele fees waar mens elke oomblik kon inneem.” Die Venters wen pryse ter waarde van sowat R80 000. Dit sluit in ’n romantiese tweede wittebrood by Lion Sands in die Kruger Nasionale Park ter waarde van R54 000, plus geskenkbewyse van Arthur Kaplan en Bulgari, Rotary horlosies, en Cellini-reistasse. ) Meer foto’s en ’n artikel verskyn in SARIE se Julie-uitgawe wat tans op die rakke is. Alles oor hul troue sal in SARIE BRUID, wat vanaf 10 September te koop is, verskyn.

Abagold’s staff excel at aqua culture training Abagold Ltd was the first abalone farm in the country to invest in ABET (Adult Basic Education and Training) as the primary means of improving employees’ communication and numeracy skills. This education and training was the foundation for further development of employees. Abagold identified the need for aquaculture training through learnerships but no learning material was available in the aquaculture industry in South Africa. Dr Lizeth Botes, director of Sound Interaxions, agreed to compile the relevant training material for accreditation with the Agricultural Sector Education and Training Authority (AgriSETA). The accredited learning material was presented to selected Abagold employees as skills courses over a period of three years. The learners accumulated a total of 120 credits (1 credit equals 10 hours of notional train-

Remember last year November when this thin dog with droopy teats used to hang around Gateway Spar and everyone was so concerned about her and her unseen puppies? The Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) took her in eventually when she had weaned her puppies, which HAWS never found. Later she was adopted by a loving family, but unfortunately they brought her back to HAWS months later. The family was very upset to let her go, but they were unable to keep her in their grounds as she loves to jump walls and go walk about. HAWS are asking for a clever person to perhaps come forward with a solution for dogs who manage to climb high walls and would be willing to take Letta, perhaps even a farm as she is now on the last chance list. Judy Miller from HAWS says they really want to give her a second chance. “She is a super friendly and social dog, it is just hard to keep her from climbing walls.” Call HAWS on 028 312 1281 if you can help.

Road linking Stanford and Hermanus to be widened ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN The R43 linking Stanford and Hermanus is due for an upgrade, but only in a few years’ time. According to the head of communications at the Department of Transport and Public Works, AlAmeen Kafaar, the project is scheduled for construction in 2019, depending on fund constraints. Last year announcements of the proposed project were advertised in the 29 May 2013 editions of Die Burger and Cape Times. A notification letter was distributed and registration of interested and affected parties (I&APs) was conducted. Information-sharing meetings were held in Stanford as well as Hermanus on 13 June 2013 where concerns could be raised. Some of the concerns raised included safe access roads and rightturn lanes; pedestrian, cyclist and animal safety; the privatisation of service roads as well as problems re-

garding fencing and storm water drainage. All these issues are addressed in the final BAR. The estimated budget for the project is around R180 million. According to the final BAR, the existing road has a surfaced width of 6.4 m. The proposal is to increase the surfaced width by 1 m and include 2 m of surfaced shoulders. The total surfaced width would be 11.4 m. The Klein River Bridge will be realigned and facilitate a pedestrian walkway, and will be wide enough to accommodate horse riders in the area. Vogelgat Bridge will also see some improvement. It is further proposed to create a traffic circle at the intersection of the R43 and Queen Victoria Street in Stanford. A cattle culvert will be constructed close by on Walshacres Farm. A commuter, who uses this stretch of road on a daily basis, was extremely concerned that the road might be closed for an extended period, but is happy that the road will

ed that the construction to the 18,4 km of road should take about a year to complete. It is proposed that two-way traffic will be accommodated with bypasses at certain sections, with some Stop-Go sections where necessary. “The design process still has to be

completed to finalise traffic issues,” said Kafaar.” ) The final Basic Assessment Report (BAR) closes for comment on 17 July 2014. The documents are available at www.ccaenvironmental.co.za or at the Hermanus and Stanford libraries.

MOTOR CLUB GETTOGETHER: The Pleasant Cruise Crew, a local motorcar club, was established in February this year to promote togetherness in the community. There are currently 26 vehicles registered with the club. Meetings take place at the Mount Pleasant pool where there is enough parking for all. The club is in the process of connecting with other clubs in the Overberg, Grabouw, Caledon and Worcestor, to plan a community project to help make a difference where needed. Their next run will be a trip to Kleinmond on 27 July. For more information call Grant Plaatjies at 076 296 4007 or Whatsapp: 076 920 9633.

Gabriëlskloof embraces a new era of winemaking

Peter-Allan Finlayson has started as the new winemaker at Gabriëlskloof Wine Estate in Bot River.

The move comes as a result of Peter-Allan’s own brand, Crystallum (which focuses mostly on Hemeland-Aarde grapes), needing a more permanent winemaking home. He will be making his own wines as well as the Gabriëlskloof wines on the estate. He is excited about the new challenge, and looks forward to continuing the tradition of Finlayson family winemaking with his wife Nicolene and her father Bernhard Heyns, who is the owner of Gabriëlskloof. “This is really an incredible opportunity. I look forward to entering into a new, challenging winemaking chapter in my life. Bot River

has some of the best soils in the country and this area, while already having produced world-class wines, will only become more renowned,” he says. Bernhard is delighted to have his son-in-law as the new winemaker and sees it as an important evolutionary step in Gabriëlskloof’s progress. “Apart from the fact that it’s sometimes necessary to re-focus and rethink a business like Gabriëlskloof, it’s clear to us that Peter-Allan has the necessary flair and passion to take our wines to the next level.” Kobie Viljoen has been Gabriëlskloof’s winemaker since 2008. “I am proud to have been associated with Gabriëlskloof and the Heyns family and grateful for the successes we’ve achieved together in the past six years,” says Kobie.

Huldeblyke stroom in vir Hester Nel ná ongeluk JANINE VAN DER RIET Huldeblyke en boodskappe van oraloor het na die sosiale netwerk Facebook ingestroom ná die nuus bekendgemaak is dat Hester Nel, onderwyser by Hoërskool Hermanus, verlede Donderdag in ’n ongeluk dood is. Oud en jonk het hul medelye deur middel van boodskappe betoon. Hier is ’n paar van hulle:

) Melisha Theron – graad 11 leerder: Ek gaan my wiskundejuf frou baie mis. Juffrou Nel het ons altyd aan die einde van ’n kwartaal gemotiveer vir die volgende kwar taal. So sal ek haar altyd onthou. ) Anneri Theron – Juffrou Nel

was my wiskundeonderwyseres by Hoërskool Hermanus. Ek het wis kunde altyd netnet deurgekom. Ek het twee weke terug vir haar in Chec kers gesien en vir haar vertel dat ek self nou ’n onderwyseres is en dat ek wiskunde as hoofvak op universiteit behaal het. Haar woorde aan my met glimlag en blink oë: “Dan het ek tog iets reg gedoen.” En sy het. Ek sal haar baie mis en sy sal altyd in my gedag tes bly. ) Dayne Elizabeth Nel – Juffrou Nel het ’n ander wiskunde juffrou

in my matriekjaar by Hoërskool Her manus afgelos. Sy was kalm en rus tig en het wiskunde maklik gemaak. Ná matriek het sy my altyd gegroet en wou altyd weet wat ek als doen. Wonderlike mens!

) Monica Alberts Nel – Wonder like persoon, sagte fyn mensie. Reg tig omgegee vir die kinders in haar klas. ) Marike Carstens – Dit is ver skriklik hartseer om te hoor. Juffrou Nel was ’n wonderlike on derwyseres gewees. ) Jeanetta Sophia Hoekstra – Dis darem ver skriklik hartseer! My inni ge meegevoel aan haar man, kinders en hele fami lie. Hulle is in my gebede. ) Milty Plaatjies – Very sad news. My sincere con dolences to the Nel Family ) Kelly Marié Sauer

In memoriam 1/02/1955 – 3/07/2014 Geskryf deur haar eggenoot Johan Nel My vrou was baie lief vir mense. Sy het ’n sagte plek vir haar medemens gehad en was die een wat altyd sou uitreik na die ander. Sy was ontsettend lief vir haar familie, haar gesin en haar kinders. Sy sou haar laaste bietjie energie tap en vir hulle dit gee. Hester was die oudste van vier kinders van Johan en Estie Smit. Toe sy nege jaar oud was het die gesin van Virginia in die Vrystaat verhuis na Clanwilliam, waar haar pa die plaas Pakhuis gekoop en begin boer het. Na hy aan ’n hartaanval oorlede is het die familie dorp toe getrek waar Hester haar skoolloopbaan in 1973 voltooi het. In dié jare het die gesin baie vakansies op Botrivierplaas deurgebring en het die Overberg haar tweede grootword-wêreld geword. Hester was ’n aktiewe redenaar op skool en sy het haar talent van logiese redenasie en debatvoering begin uitleef; ’n karaktertrek en talent wat sy met groot welslae tot aan die einde van haar lewe kon uitvoer. Vra maar vir ons as haar huisgesin – hoe ma jou kon vastrek en jy naderhand nie kon beweeg na ’n kant toe nie.

Thank you for warm re ception of Ella’s Horses

EDITORIAL COMMENT

On behalf of myself and the actors I’d like to thank all, especially Angela Heslop (Hermanus History Society), for a generous reception and professionally executed event with the performance of our production Ella’s Horses on Friday night. It was a real pleasure to share our work with a very appreciative audience and I hope that Ella’s legacy struck some chords and awakened people to her heritage and the wonderful person she was. Thank you for the gifts too! Our gratitude also to Dane and John who assisted with the technical side of things. I look forward to engaging with you again in the future.

Vereer vroue Hester Nel, ’n ma van twee en eggenoot van Johan, is skielik van haar familie weggeruk in ’n motorongeluk op die N2 buite Grabouw. Die hartseerste is seker dat sy dié dag van haar dood, tydens die skoolvakansie, op die pad was juis om ’n goeie daad te verrig. Sy het kinders in Villiersdorp gaan help met ekstra wiskundeklasse. Ons glo en vertrou dat die familie wat agterbly deur vriende, familie en geloof deur die moeilike tyd gedra sal word. Ander skokkende nuus is dat ’n vrou amper op die Hemel-enAarde pad verkrag is toe sy by die stop-en-wag teken diens gedoen het. En in nog ’n voorval is ’n vrou ernstig beseer toe sy van ’n hoë rots by die kuspaadjie afgeval het. In Augustus vier ons Vrouedag. Dit is die perfekte dag, behalwe vir elke ander dag van die jaar, om die vroue om ons te bederf, te waardeer en te vereer. Nominasies word ook ingewag vir Overstrand se Vrou van die Jaar toekenning. Spesiaal vir vroue wat ’n verskil maak in die gemeenskap, vroue wat omgee. Lees meer op bl. 9 hoe om iemand te nomineer.

‘Scurrilous untruths’ deserves apology One cannot allow the scurrilous untruths penned anonymously in the SMS column under “A curious bystander” (Hermanus Times 3 July) regarding Mr Hendriksz and his involvement with the music entertainment during the past Whale Festival to pass unchallenged. To state that “... he (Mr Hendriksz) secured table reservations at R100 just to have a view of the tent and hear the music” is nothing short of libellous. For the record all monies collected for table reservations went towards the purchase of a whale disentanglement kit. This kit was handed over to the NSRI at a function held on the NSRI’s premises and covered by the Hermanus Times. It was a collective goodwill gesture by the organisers of the event, Distell, the Whale Festival committee and Village Square - of which Mr Hendriksz is part of. I will be pleasantly surprised if, now that “A curious bystander” is aware of the facts, whether he or she will again take the time to put pen to paper - this time in an apology to Mr Hendriksz.

Hermanus Hospital maternity ward is tops C2 = Caring, Competence; A = Accountability; I = Integrity; R2 = Responsiveness, Respect. These are the words that you read on the first banner you see when you are on your way down the lengthy hallway towards the maternity ward at the Hermanus Provincial Hospital. I was expecting our second child, a boy due on 19 June 2014, according to my latest sonar. When the 19th arrived, without our baby making an appearance, I decided to go and see the sisters at the maternity ward, seeking their professional opinion. They kindly seated me down and did all their observations. They then asked me what my earliest sonar dated, and according to that one our boy was due on 22 June. They then told me that one should rather

work according to the date of the earliest sonar and assured me that I can even go over that date by six days. If little one hadn’t made his appearance by then, the doctor on duty would have to decide whether the birth should be induced or for me to have a caesarean. The 22nd came and went: still no baby boy. I returned on the 23rd to see the sisters but their observations said there was still no sign of the little one making his appearance soon. I returned four times for observation, and every time the sisters showed me a caring attitude, without the slightest notion of irritation for this over-exited pregnant lady. On the 26th, at around midnight, my water broke and my husband and I were on our way to the hospital, this time knowing for sure something was busy happening and little Timothy John was duly born on 27 June at 05:50 the morning.

I would just like to thank the sisters at the maternity ward for the outstanding service they rendered to me through all the aches and pains of childbirth. I was truly treated like royalty every step of the way, from the time I arrived till the time I left. I would also like to thank the doctors for their professional advice and service when it came to some of the complications after the birth – they are truly first class! I would also like to compliment the kitchen staff for the superb meals I received at breakfast, lunch and supper (not to mention the soup and bread in between). One always has doubts about a provincial health facility, but I can truly say after my experience, that our Provincial Hospital (staff and infrastructure) are tops and that they live up to every aspect of their slogan. Bravo.

Highest award bestowed on Prof Ernst Sonnendecker

KERRY VAN RENSBURG In recognition of his distinguished contribution to the art and science of medicine, Professor Ernst Sonnendecker was elected a Fellow Ad Eundem of the College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, by The Colleges of Medicine of South Africa (CMSA). This rare honour and special recognition was bestowed on Prof Sonnendecker at an admissions ceremony of the CMSA which took place at the University of the Witwatersrand on 15 May. On 4 June, back home in Hermanus, he celebrated his 80th birthday. After a long and distinguished career, where he served as professor and academic head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of the Witwatersrand, and chief specialist at Johannesburg Hospital, Sonnendecker and his wife Cynthia, retired to Hermanus in 2001. But Sonnendecker, who began his medical studies at Wits at the age of 16 in 1951, did not come to Hermanus to sit idly and enjoy the mountains and the sea for the rest of his days. Because teaching and learning remain close to his heart, Sonnendecker spent six years as an Extraordinary Professor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Stellenbosch University In 1998, his passion concerning menopausal issues, led him to establish the South African Menopause Society (SAMS) and in 2000 he was subsequently elected as the organisation’s founding president. Sonnendecker still practises at Vincent Palloti Hospital where he attends to women with menopausal or osteoporotic issues. Despite his achievements, Sonnendecker remains humble, saying matter-of-factly that

Prof Ernst Sonnendecker, a medical doctor specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology received recognition for his life-time contribution to medicine and was elected a Fellow Ad Eundem at a recent awards ceremony held at Wits. He has lived in Hermanus with his wife Cynthia since 2001. few South Africans have been elected to Fellow Ad Eundem. This fellowship recognises and acknowledges Sonnendecker’s exceptional contribution as an excellent teacher, superb clinician, researcher and outstanding surgeon. His particular interest was the management of women with ovarian cancer, and he contributed significantly to their treatment both nationally and internationally. He enjoys travel, reading, environmental issues, classical music and scientific courses.

Nominations sought for 2014 mayoral awards At the Annual Night of Excellence, recognition will be given to achievers who make a difference in the Overstrand, with the awarding of the mayoral trophy for environmental conservation, the woman/women of the year award and the award for achievers of excellence. This year Mayor Nicolette BothaGuthrie will present the awards on 26August. Nominations for these awards must be handed in on or before Friday 1 August. The award for the mayoral trophy for environmental conservation will be handled by the Overstrand Environmental Department.

Well motivated nominations can be sent to Liezl Bezuidenhout at lbezuidenhout@overstrand.gov.za. Nominations for Overstrand women who have made a difference in their area and ought to be considered for a woman of the year award, can be submitted to Elize Verrij at everrij@overstrand.gov.za. Achievers of excellence in communities are also identified by councillors. Well motivated nominations can be handed to the relevant councillor or sent to Verrij. All nominations must be accompanied by contact details of the nominator and the nominee.

Ons weer is vreemd Ontspan! Die neerslae wat oormôre oor die Overstrand uitsak is nie ’n skaduwee van die aaklige reëns wat ons pas agter die rug het en mens en dier in ellende gelos het met bittere koue nie. Weerhaan kan voorspel dat baie wenkbroue tot na die naweek sal lig want vir baie lesers sal die naweek se weer onverklaarbaar wees, met temperature wat val as die son skyn en styg wanneer die koue van die see se kant af kom. Maak dus gerus notas om te sien hoe noorden oostewinde wat uit die warmer tropiese gebiede kom en gewoonlik warm weer bring, skielik die vark in die verhaal is. Dit kan verklaar word te midde van huidige uitstralings wat ook ons selfone omkrap en diensverskaffers aan die hardloop het. Die noordoos het Woensdagnag kort na middernag die pas aangegee om temperature teen dagbreek van 10 ° tot 8° te laat daal. Teen Donderdagmiddag kry die aarde kans om bietjie te bak terwyl ons dit op die bankies langs die walviswaters indrink. Dit alles te danke dat die winde gaan lê. Ons sien nie die wind draai oos en word teen aand se kant koeler nie. Vrydagoggend is dit maar weer 8° en ons dink twee keer voor ons weer afsit see toe.

Ons sien rondom die middaguur ook die vreemde verskynsel dat die wind reg suid draai en uit die koue suide op ons afpeil, maar in plaas van nog koue in te dra, styg dit na 17° daar op die straatbankies. Die prentjie herhaal hom tot middernag maar nog is dit nie die einde van die vreemdheid nie, want Saterdag kom ons reënwind uit die noordweste en die Overberg kry sy kwota water daaruit. (Sorrie.) Daar sal tot voor kerk Sondag omtrent 14 mm val. Darem nie naastenby so erg soos laasweek nie. Die winde wat so met ons woer-woer speel, begin Dinsdag weer en hou dalk tot Vrydag so aan. Die andersheid van die Overstrand se weerpatroon is egter beslis nie ter sprake in die wêreldpatroon waarvoor tans vrae gesoek word nie. Wat egter seker is, is dat Hermanus in ’n spreekwoordelike “blindehoek” van die windpatrone is en dalk die dirigent genoem kan word van die vier winde van ons land.

10 HermanusTimes Onrusrivier se bankies verfraai

ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Die Onrusrivier Belastingbetalersvereniging neem dit op hulself om die gebied skoon en netjies te hou en dit is nou die beurt van die bankies langs die kuslyn. Volgens Ina van Rooyen, wat op die komitee dien en verantwoordelik is vir die netheid van dié dorp, betaal die belastingbetalers elkeen R100 per jaar en dit word dan aangewend om werk te doen waar die Overstrand-munisipaliteit nie by uitkom nie. Die projek waarmee hulle tans besig is, is om die sowat 14 bankies, al langs die kuslyn tot en met Davies Pool, op te knap. “Baie mense het in vroeër jare die bankies aangekoop en kyk wel mooi na hulle. Maar daar is baie verweer so naby aan die see, en nou en dan loop die bankies deur onder vandale. Ons het die nodige materiaal aangekoop en Rudie Taljaard het sy tyd vryelik gegee om die opknappingswerk te doen. “Ons hou ook die kuslyn skoon. Ons het ’n persoon wat elke oggend in die vakansie en elke naweek om 06:00 die strandgebied skoonmaak. Daar is ook iemand wat elke dag al die rommel rondom die verkeerslig en die hoofweg skoonmaak.” Van Rooyen noem dat sy verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir die netheid van die area, in samewerking met die kontrakteur Dion Louw en ook die munisipaliteit.

Nuwe ‘ou hande’ nou eienaars van Burgundy CILENE BEKKER Tydens ’n informele samekoms in die horlosiekamer by Burgundy het die ‘ou’ en nuwe eienaars gesels oor dit wat die restaurant spesiaal maak, en die pad vorentoe. Soos Rayno Rabie sê, die Burgundy, wat reeds 85 jaar bestaan, is ’n landmerk, het klaar ’n hart en siel, en het al die pad geloop met verskeie generasies wat hier kom eet. “Dit is ’n goed-geoliede masjien. Die Burgundy is jou baas, en almal gee jou raad. Die eienaars is net die keepers.” Alhoewel die nuwe eienaars, Willem en Esthie Steyn, in murg en been Johannesburgers is, groei hul wortelvertakkings in Hermanus sterk. Benewens die Hermanus Gastehuis, wat die Steyns al vir 9 jaar bedryf, en ’n paar bestaande restaurante, was hulle ook die mede-eienaars van Annie se Kombuis. Dié restaurant is gesluit en die belange is oorgeskuif na @Food & Wine wat onlangs in die Carriages-sentrum

Agter: Rayno Rabie en Willem Steyn. Voor sit Juliana Steyn (die familie se prokureur), Celia Rabie en Marieka Dreyer Steyn (een van Willem en Esthie se twee dogters). Die Steyns, nuwe eienaars van Burgundy is ou hande in die gasvryheidsbedryf. Hulle is ontwikkelaars van die Belvedere aftree-oorde in Johannesburg, en benewens restaurant- en gastehuisbelange in Hermanus is hulle ook vennote in ’n wynplaas. FOTO’S: CILENE BEKKER geopen het. Die nadraai van die Steyns se belange nou in Burgundy is dat @Food & Wine tans in die mark is. Savannah Café, waarin hulle ook ’n aandeel het, is in die proses om verkoop

te word. Dit blyk uit die gesprek dat Burgundy al geruime tyd in Willem se visier van ’n droom-restaurant’ was. “Ek het my prokureur gevra om

voelers uit te steek en toe sy sê dit is wel in die mark, was dit dit. It cost me an arm and a leg, maar ek is ’n dromer en ons hou van lekker en mooi kos!” Willem noem hy het by een van

die markies gehoor mense praat oor die Burgundy se verkoop en dat hulle hoop daar word nie aan die spyskaart getorring nie. Hy gee die versekering dat dit dieselfde sal bly “want alles op die spyskaart is puik. Veranderinge sal net kom as daar ’n vraag daarna is. Mense laat gou van hulle hoor as iets nie na hul smaak is nie. Dit is ’n suksesvolle besigheid en ons gaan nie ’n goed-geoliede wiel herontwerp nie. Ons gaan ook die huis-gevoel behou, maar my vrou - die mooi-maker - se hand sal wel hier en daar gesien kan word. Ons noem haar the queen of beauty.” Die ander ‘ou bekende’ gesig in die nuwe Burgundy bestuurspan is sjef Rudolph van der Berg. Hy geniet tans ’n ruskansie in die Bosveld maar wanneer hy in die komende week weer sy Burgundy-hoed opsit, sal dit met ’n gevoel van dé jà-vu wees. Rudolph is ’n aandeelhouer in Burgundy saam met die Steyns, soos die geval ook was met Savannah Café en @Food & Wine.

Anne Frank exhibition

‘Sorry, no gay weddings’ JANINE VAN DER RIET An engaged lesbian couple have been left very bitter and sad when, according to the brides-to-be, they were told by an employee of a Stanford wedding venue “sorry, no gay weddings”. Rocky Medina and her partner, Ericka, have been dating for seven years and been engaged for five years and decided to at last tie the knot. “We saw several venues in the area and being the typical girls, planning the big day, we bought two bridal magazines on Tuesday (17 June). We saw venues in the Western Cape and one of them was Beloftebos. We loved the name from the get go! We checked their website and it was a dream come true. Until I phoned them...” Medina says she phoned the wedding coordinator at Beloftebos, Danica Steyn, on the same day.

“I called and introduced myself. I mentioned that we love the wedding venue and we want to book it for our wedding, a gay wedding. As soon as I said that, Steyn said “sorry no gay weddings” and she put the phone down. We were shocked.” “We are in a loving life committed relationship. We are surrounded by friends and family that truly love us, we share the same values and have the same needs as anybody else and now. Now we are being treated like we are sub-humans, like we are doing something so wrong,” Medina said. After the Hermanus Times asked for comment from Beloftebos about the incident, Andries de Villiers, owner, said in an email: “I confirm that I am taking advice on the matter and will not be in a position to comment by your deadline.” On the allegation that Steyn put the phone down before Medina could continue to speak, De Villiers said it is untrue.

The international Anne Frank travelling exhibition being hosted in the foyer of the Overstrand Municipality, was officially opened by Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie on the evening of 1 July. The exhibition, which runs until 17 July, tells the story of Anne Frank against the background of the Holocaust and the Second World War. In her speech, the mayor outlined how thirteen-year-old Anne Frank wrote her diary between 12 June 1942 and 1 August 1944 in the form of letters addressed to a fictitious character named Kitty. The diary reveals the everyday life of Jewish people in hiding and establishes a symbolic link to the suffering of the Jewish population during World War II. Anne Frank – a history for today, has travelled all over the world, and is presented more

than 300 times per year. The tour is coordinated by the Anne Frank House, but locally by the Cape Town Holocaust Centre. The mayor told guests that the aim of the exhibition is to inform visitors about the history of the Holocaust from the perspective of Anne and her family. “It also shows visitors that cultural, ethnic, religious and political differences between people exist in every society.” said BothaGuthrie. “This exhibition challenges visitors to think about concepts such as tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, an open opportunity society and democracy. “Finally, it helps visitors to understand that a society where differences between people are respected, does not come about by itself. Legislation is of course necessary, but people also have to make a personal commitment.”

Dis ’n voelgoed-produksie deur Barry van Rensburg wat jou laat skaterlag terwyl dit hoop bring vir die Banggat in elkeen van ons! Wat is ’n fees sonder Dowwe Dolla! Sy kom met DDBB...Dowwe Dolla Betaal Belasting. Sy besef sy moet belasting betaal en roep die hulp in van eksperts soos Kenny Kunene, Arthur Brown en Rashid van die Vlakte! Dolla vat die gehoor op ’n “roller-coaster” wat elke nou en dan dreig om te ontspoor...

The comedian takes the audience on a sharp satirical ride through the A-Z of things that cannot be blamed on apartheid, reflecting humorously on the Rainbow Nation and the Born Free generation. It will provide the audience with a cathartic post-election experience.

Celebrating the completion of the Ward 3 project to replace stolen or worn plaques at four historically significant sites with engraved granite plaques, were, from left: Don Kearney, Hermanus area manager, Councillor Kari Brice, Angela Heslop, History Society, and David Beattie, chairperson of the Cliff Path Management Group.

One of the new plaques at the Hermanuspietersfontein site.

The old ‘wasbakkies’ site on the clifftop between Swallow Park and Hermanuspietersfontein has been cleared and a plaque detailing its historical significance placed nearby.

Granite plaques record history of Hermanus The history and heritage of Hermanus have been the focus of a recent Ward 3 project, which has resulted in the addition of granite plaques inscribed with historical details being placed at eight historically significant sites. For the past three years the ward committee of Ward 3 has focused on the town’s tourism attractions and have therefore spent all their funds in and around the CBD area. Other wards in the Overstrand Municipality have spent their ward allocation on projects in their residential areas, whereas the Ward

3 committee found it prudent to upgrade the CBD to attract and impress tourists and investors. Previous projects included the upgrading of CBD sidewalks, improvements to Swallow Park, the addition of two sundials, convenient parking at HermanusPietersfontein, cliff path maintenance and so forth. In compiling the 2013/14 budget, the Ward 3 committee decided to allocate funds to the History Society, which has wanted to make the town’s history more visual and informative. Discussions owere held between Angela Heslop from the History Society and Don

Kearney, the Overstrand’s area manager. The History Society initially wanted to print brochures for distribution to tourists and have the stolen brass history plaques replaced. Kearney, impressed by the design and material used for the sundials in Swallow Park, suggested using granite slabs instead of the riskier brass or stainless steel plaques. He proposed sand-coloured granite on sandstone-clad pedestals to depict historic facts of Hermanus at various sites. Such pedestals would complement the stone walls visible all over town. “I asked the History Society to draft the wording for

NATURE MATTERS

The world’s tiniest frog can be found in the Overstrand.

Did you know: The world’s tiniest frog clings to life here in parts of the Overstrand. The micro frog (Mi crobatrachella capensis) is only the size of a finger nail. It occurs in just a few areas between Bet ty’s Bay and Cape Agulhas and

on the Cape Flats, where it sur vives in acidic blackwater fyn bos vleis. The tiny amphibian is criti cally endangered because these wet lands are being drained, filled in and polluted by humans for coastal strip de velopment.

each plaque,” says Kearney, “and the municipality arranged for the construction of the pedestals and also supplied the plaques with the engraving.” After the wording was finalised, site visits were held to decide on the location of the plaques and what structures they should be mounted onto. Kearney approached the two volunteers who had been involved with the Swallow Park sundials, namely Dr Pierre de Villiers and Chris Theron, to provide assistance with the delicate operation of fixing the engraved granite history plaques to their pedestals. Many residents would not know what the “wasbakkies” were and although the ruins just below the cliff top are not that impressive, the history displayed on the plaque on the cliff top, adjacent to the Western corner of Swallow Park, is most interesting.

For their involvement in the project, Kearney thanked Dr Pierre de Villiers and the Astronomy Society for designing the first granite sundial in Hermanus that was instrumental in setting the trend. For assisting with the mounting of the plaques, Keraney thanked the History Society, and in particular Angela Heslop, Robin Lee and Es-

telle Spaarwater, the Ward 3 committee. He also thanked former and current ward councillors Maxie Lerm and Kari Brice, for being bold enough to allocate the funds for what has turned out to be a worthwhile, unique project.

Taswill Siegels and Cheswin Pietersen from the Overstrand Municipality were part of the team that ensured the plaques were placed on specially built stone plinths.

Learners plant a beefriendly garden Following on from the fascinating talk on bees hosted by Whale Coast Conservation (WCC), six volunteers from Hermanus High School tackled the establishment of a bee forage garden at the Green House. The rather difficult terrain was prepared and pollen-producing plants were planted in between existing Chasmanthe. “Our thanks go to Walker Bay Nursery that donated the ‘starter pack’ of beautiful plants, including a ‘blushing bride’ in full bloom,” says Anina Lee, communications manager at WCC. The volunteer work undertaken by the learners is part of the life orientation programme at the school. Lee says: “Considering the essential role bees play in the pollination of more than 30% of our food crops, providing them with a balanced diet from forage gardens is a significant contribution to society.

He says they are almost finished with the first round of their competition,which continues in August. He says they will also use fields in Mount Pleasant, Hawston and at Haygrove Heaven. Peter Burger, senior manager: operations at the Overstrand Municiplaity, says the Zwelihle sports fields had a major upgrade two years ago. “With over 33 soccer teams playing on the fields, it is difficult to maintain them and keep them in peak condition. “More money was spent on the A field during the last financial year to improve the quality of the playing surface.” He says: “There is, however, a problem with the sewage pump station, which is situated inside the soccer field. The consulting engineers, in conjunction with the relevant contractor, are currently working on this problem as a matter of urgency.”

The soggy goal-post area on field C is a particular challenge for the soccer teams that have to play in these conditions.

Learners from local schools who are members of the ET Robo Club, meet every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Solomon Manjeya, facilitator of the Big Vision project and robotics at Enlighten, says Lego Mindstorm robotics kits are used to build robots to carry out tasks. “The robot is programmed from a lap-top and the program then downloaded to a small ‘brick’ computer in the robot to enable it to act according to the program instructions,” explains Solomon. “On a weekly basis we deal with 23 learners for Mindstorms Robotics and 11 for WEDO Robotics (junior robotics),” says Solomon. The club activities are linked to the worldwide First Lego League (FLL), which arranges international competitions for members. Competitions start on a regional basis, then move on to national level, with the winners taking part in the international finals in the US or Europe. In September each year a new challenge is announced, focusing on a different realworld topic. Learners research the topic and propose suitable solutions for the problems raised. The robotics part of the competition is concerned with the design and programming of robots to complete tasks. Past themes have included problems faced by senior citizens, food health and safety, climate change, medical science and nanotechnology. Throughout the competition, teams are judged on their teamwork, cooperation, professionalism, acceptance of other teams and sportsmanship. “The club integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics with robotics. The program gives learners hands-on experience in designing, building, and programming robots, while developing leadership, teamwork, and project management skills that will prepare them for the future.” To find out more about the robotics club, contact Solomon Manjeya at 083 783 2152 or email: bigvision@enlighten.org.za.

James Le Roux, Sithembiso Sithole (looking away with cap on), Karo Beets, Simeon Jaques and Breyten Beets discuss the intricacies of their robotic world at the Enlighten Education Centre.

Children from Zwelihle visited HAWS recently as part of the 4Paws project. Learners from Hermanus High were also present as part of their community outreach programme.

Petcare kids visit HAWS Marlene Deneeghere, one of Hermanus Animal Welfare Society’s (HAWS) cat volunteers and the 4Paws Pet Care trainees, all pupils from Lukhanyo Primary School in Zwelihle, visited HAWS recently. The children were taken there to meet the dogs and cats, while the staff at HAWS talked to them about adoption and pet sterilisation. In addition, the children listened to a talk by the Overberg K9 dog unit members. On the same day there were some pupils from Hermanus High School at the kennels by chance, walking dogs as part of a commu-

nity outreach programme. The pupils also interacted with the youngsters on the training program. The 4Paws project was initiated by Deneeghere and friends, in co-operation with the Enlighten Education Trust, to teach children about pet care. The project consists of a series of nine lectures, with 15 children taking part in each series. They use a workbook and computers , do homework and are tested on what they have learnt. It is planned to roll out the project to other schools in the area once the pilot project has been completed.

Walk 67 minutes for Madiba For 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically chosen president of a free South Africa. Madiba had a long walk to freedom, a pioneer indeed and you can be one too. Development of the Cliff Path Biodiversity Park, between Gearing’s Point and Fick’s Pool, is imminent and you could be among the first to walk this walk. The project is a collaboration between Ward 3 of the Overstrand Municipality and the Cliff Path Management Group. Planning of the project is sourced from the information received from the ex-

tremely successful Greenpoint Biodiversity Park, which has received great accolades and plenty of support on websites and social media. In Hermanus the footprint will be adapted to the unique surroundings in the area. All you need to do is donate 67 minutes of your time on a 1 km beautiful section of Hermanus Cliff Path. The aim is to clear alien plants and collect litter and embrace the project. Refuse bags will be provided, but bring garden gloves and spades. All Madiba Day volunteers are requested to meet at the Gearing’s Point parking area (Windsor Hotel side) at 11:00 on Friday 18 July. Call 083 650 4206 for info.

Western Star and Freightliner trucks shine in latest Transformers movie QUICKPIC Already a well-known, powerful presence on the roads of South Africa, a Western Star and Freightliner from the Daimler Trucks stable make their presence felt in Hollywood. blockbuster style, and they set the screen alight. Anticipation has been running high for the release of the Paramount Pictures “Transformers: Age of Extinction” movie, which is recognised for high-paced action sequences that put a spectacular array of trucks and cars in the limelight. The fourth movie in the Transformers series is given an extra boost when the role of the vehicular lead character, Optimus Prime, morphs into a blinged-out Western Star. The Western Star will share the screen with a Freightliner truck but movie fans will need to watch the film to learn more about its character. “Rugged and tough, commercial vehicle customers in South Africa choose purpose-built Western Star trucks when they need a highly specialised solution for heavy-duty applications both on and the off-highway,” says marketing and sales divisional manager at Daimler Trucks South Africa, Godfrey Hani. The Western Star takes on the most demanding applications, just as Optimus Prime takes on epic battles in the name of justice across the universe. “Merging the two heroes in this movie thus makes perfect sense,” Hani adds.

The Western Star takes on the most demanding applications, just as Optimus Prime takes on epic battles across the universe in the name of justice . PHOTO: QUICKPIC Developed specifically for the new Michael Bay film by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), many styling cues for the Optimus Prime character were leveraged from a new Western Star on-highway vehicle that will be unveiled in the USA later in 2014. “When the producers of the film approached us to create the new Op-

timus Prime, we knew we already had the perfect truck in the works and that it would be an ideal partnership to showcase our dedication to engineering, design and building the most rugged and reliable trucks in the industry,” said Andy Johnson, brand manager for Western Star, Daimler Trucks in North America.

“Being part of the Michael Bay Transformers film franchise is a unique opportunity; here vehicles are stars, and we’re thrilled that Western Star is a major part of this iconic franchise.” Similarly, the Freightliner truck that debuts in “Transformers: Age of Extinction” has been a stalwart of the Daimler Trucks commercial

vehicle stable globally. In South Africa, these vehicles attract fanatical freight business owners due to the products’ flexibility in serving a wide range of industries and commercial applications. It is widely touted as the vehicle of choice for long-haul trucking. For more information about the Western Star and Freightliner trucks from Daimler Trucks South Africa, please visit www.westernstar.co.za or www.freightliner.co.za. “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is the fourth film in director Michael Bay’s global blockbuster franchise, starring Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Bing Bing Li, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, T. J. Miller, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor and Titus Welliver. The film begins after an epic battle that leaves a great city torn, but the world saved. As humanity picks up the pieces, a shadowy group attempts to control history, while an ancient, powerful menace sets Earth in its cross-hairs. With help from a new cast of humans, Optimus Prime and the Autobots rise to the challenge. In an incredible adventure, they are swept up in a war of good and evil, ultimately leading to a climactic battle across the world. “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is based on Hasbro’s TransformersT Action Figures and written by Ehren Kruger, directed by Michael Bay.

Toyota 1, 2, 3 in Woestynren QUICKPIC Die Castrol-Toyota-renspan het skoonskip in Suider-Afrika se voorste veldtydren, die Toyota1000-Kalahari-Botswana-Woestynren, gemaak. ’n Triomfantelike Anthony Taylor en sy navigator Dennis Murphy het van vroeg op die eerste dagf voor gejaag en die louere in dié 1 000 km-marathonren ingeoes.

Hier jaag wenners Anthony Taylor en sy navigator Dennis Murphy dat die stof so staan in die afgelope Toyota-1000-Kalahari-BotswanaWoestynren. FOTO: QUICKPIC

Die naaswenners, hul spanmaats Leeroy Poulter en Rob Howie, het die tweede Castrol-Hilux net 32 sekondes agter die wenners oor die wenstreep gestuur. Derde plek is deur die Malelane Toyota-Hilux-jaers Johan en Werner Horn ingeneem, wat Toyota se houvas op die byeenkoms verder versterk het. “Dit is ’n geskiedkundige oorwinning vir ons,” het ’n stralende spanhoof Glyn Hall, gesê nadat Taylor eerste verby die geruite vlag is. “Anthony en Dennis het gewen nadat hulle Vrydag in die sewende wegspringposisie gekwalifiseer het. Leeroy en Rob het al die nodige gedoen en die tweede plek sonder voorval ingeneem.” Die ren het op ’n hoë noot vir die span begin nadat die genooide Brasiliaanse jaer Reinaldo Varela en sy navigator, Gustavo Gugelmin, die voorste wegspringplek losgejaag het. Hulle was ook in ’n Toyota Hilux wat deur Toyota Motorsport voorberei is, en het sake van die heel begin af duidelik in beheer gehad. Poulter/Howie het die vierde vinnigste kwalifiserende tyd opgestel, terwyl Taylor/Murphy sewende vinnigste was. Taylor/Murphy het hul spanmaats op die eerste dag van die tweedaagse byeenkoms oor bykans 1 000 kilome-

ter gou ingehaal, maar verwarring op die roete het aan hulle die gaping gegee om die voortou te neem. Toe die stof uiteindelik aan die einde van Saterdag se roete sak, het Taylor en Murphy ’n effense voorsprong voor hul spanmaats (Poulter en Howie) gehad. “Ons het geweet daar was min tussen ons en Leeroy-hulle,” het Taylor by die eindpunt gesê. “Ons altwee het ons eie benoude oomblikke met pap wiele en ander uitdagings gehad, maar ons was uiteindelik gelukkig om die fort tot aan die einde te hou.” Die Castrol-Toyota-jaers het ’n vroeë voorsprong bo hul mededingers begin opbou vandat die groen vlag naby Jwaneng, sowat 170 kilometer noordwes van Botswana se hoofstad Gaborone, geval het. Vanjaar se roete het die spanne die derde keer vanjaar oor nuwe en onbekende terrein losgelaat, en nog net die derde byeenkoms van die 2014-Donaldson-veldtydrenkampioenskap is op bestaande terrein beslis. Dit het beteken die speelveld was vir al die deelnemers gelyk, wat die vierde ronde van die reeks ’n regverdige toets vir almal gemaak het. Die nuwe roete het meer sagte sand as dié van die afgelope paar jaar gehad, en het ook meer verbysteekkansee gebied; iets wat saamgespan het om ’n opwindende Woestynren, wat vanjaar die 33e keer deur Toyota geborg is, te verseker. “Ons kon nie ’n beter uitslag gehad het nie, selfs al het ons probeer,” het ’n stralende Hall gesê. “1-2-3 in een van ons tuisbyeenkomste is nie net absoluut bevredigend nie maar danksy die dubbele punte in hierdie byeenkoms, verbeter dit ook ons stand in die kampioenskap.”

Die byeenkoms word weens die lang afstand as marathon geklassifiseer: die deelnemers kom dus vir dubbel die punte in aanmerking. Die gevolg is dat Taylor, die verdedigende kampioen, 50 punte as jaer bykry en sodoende sy stempel op die algehele kampioenskap afdruk en weer wys waarom hy die verdedigende kampioen is. Toyota se Reinaldo Varela and Gustavo Gugelmin, het ook ’n goeie lopie gehad in die uitdagende ren in die unieke Botswana-toestande. Die Brasiliane, wat in ’n derde Castrol-Toyota Hilux van Toyota Motorsport gejaag het, het die kwalifiserende been gewen en daarmee die voorste wegspringposisie, maar moes die roete voor die res van die renveld “skoonvee”. Dit was hul eerste optrede in Botswana en boonop op ’n splinternuwe roete. Hulle het op dag een van die hoofren ’n boom getref, wat hulle by die oornaghalte tot 10e laat terugsak het. Dié ervare internasionale veldtydrenjaers het hul pad Sondag stelselmatig deur die renveld gebaan en uiteindelik ’n skitterende sesde plek voor Klas S-wenners Jannie Visser en Joks le Roux in hul Ruwacon Racing-Toyota Hilux behaal. Toyota het ook die Vervaardigersuitdaging gewen danksy Toyota-jaers wat die algehele louere ingeoes en Klasse T en S gewen het. Die Toyota-1000-Woestynren, “die Woestynren” soos dit algemeen bekend is, het ook sekere deelnemers die geleentheid gegun om aan die 2015 Dakar-ren deel te neem. Gary Berthold (Ranger) het vanjaar se Dakaruitdaging en ’n gratis inskrywing in een van die grootste motorsportbyeenkomste ter wêreld gewen.

Wanted! 20 contestants for 2014 Ranger Odyssey QUICKPIC The 2014 edition of Ford South Africa’s action-packed Ranger Odyssey is set to continue from where last year’s epic cross-continent adventure left off. This year’s competition is now officially open to the public, and will see 20 brave contestants embarking on the trip of a lifetime. After a rigorous selection process, the top contenders will be chosen to tackle the extreme challenge of Kaokoland in northern Namibia in a fleet of mighty Ford Rangers during September. “The Ranger Odyssey gives contestants the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime,” explains Ford Marketing Manager Gavin Golightly. “The Ranger is built Ford tough, and through this competition we aim to bring together a group of ordinary people with an adventurous spirit to experience the best Africa has to offer.” Last year, 10 finalists experienced a truly life-changing 22-day trip encompassing six countries and 8 000 km through rugged Africa. They pushed themselves and the vehicles to the limit as they experienced the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro and the Maasai people of Kenya, the awe inspiring Ngorongoro Crater with its abundant wildlife, and Bagamoyo, Tanzania, the source of East Africa’s slave trade. This was followed by the beauty of Zambia, the breath-taking Makgadikgadi Pans and Northern Tuli Game Reserve in Botswana, along with the far northern stretches of the Kruger National Park and

Ford South Africa has produced 120 Special Edition Odyssey Rangers at their Silverton assembly plant, Pretoria, for distribution to the dealer network in the build-up to this high-profile competition. PHOTO: QUICKPIC southern Mozambique before returning to South Africa. Although only one person walked away as overall winner for the 2013 event, each one of the contestants emerged with new-found self-respect, inspiration and the desire to explore more of the great African continent. That the mighty Ford Ranger was the hero of the Odyssey was, of course, beyond dispute. However, long before the 2014 finalists head off to the far north of Namibia, the process kicks off with

a call to action in July during which aspirant adventurers are invited to submit an online entry via the Ranger Odyssey website (www.rangerodyssey.com). The campaign is supported by adverts on radio and television, as well as in print and social media. Entries close on 20 July. Once the entry has been registered on the website, the applicants will be asked to visit their local Ford dealership and take a “selfie” with the Odyssey-edition Ford Ranger and post it on the website to qualify

to be selected as part of the final 20. Ford South Africa has produced 120 Special Edition Odyssey Rangers at its Silverton Assembly Plant in Pretoria for distribution to the dealer network in the build-up to this high-profile competition. Although the distinctive Odyssey Rangers are expected to attract plenty of attention on Ford showroom floors across the country, the candidates will be hoping that they attract the attention of the selection panel and are among the 40 who will

be chosen to attend the Ranger Odyssey Boot Camp from 22 to 24 August. This intensive training and assessment session takes place over three days at De Rust Outdoor near Hartbeespoort Dam, home to Ford’s official off-road driving academy. All of the candidates will be trained and evaluated on the essential aspects of 4x4 driving, navigation, team work, physical and mental stamina as well as camp craft. Ultimately just 20 contestants will be chosen for the main event, which takes place in the remote Kaokoland from 7 to 19 September. The roughly 2 500 km route encompasses some of Namibia’s most spectacular and arduous terrain, including the notorious Van Zyl’s Pass and the famous Purros Loop, renowned for its desert elephants. Unlike last year where the contestants competed on an individual basis, for the 2014 Ranger Odyssey they will be paired up in teams of two. The 10 teams will be evaluated and scored throughout the trip by the judges. Aside from it being a genuinely life-altering adventure, the contestants will also be vying for the main prize. Each member of the winning team will get to drive an Odyssey Ranger for a year and will receive R5 000 for fuel per month. For further information on the Ranger Odyssey go to www.rangerodyssey.com and follow @FordSouthAfrica on Twitter using the #RangerOdyssey hashtag.

More cricket in business league’s new short over format More teams, shorter overs and more playing time. This is what the upcoming business league cricket season has in store for players and fans. The league had 21 teams participating last season and has now grown to 24 teams with the Hermanus High School also back on board. To ensure all the teams play more cricket, the 10 over format has been reduced to 8 overs per side and also two matches per evening will be played, which also gives other teams a chance to socialise with each other. The Pennypinchers Business League is an event the Cricket Club and the general public of Hermanus can certainly be proud of. This

season over 250 matches will be played. With so many fixtures being played, the season will also start sooner and the opening weekend will start on 5 and 6 September. All the players are encouraged to start getting their groups together for practises. Due to the structures of the business league and the demand for the competition growing, the club has also appointed a sub-committee to help keep the tradition going at the club. In keeping with tradition, Pennypinchers has again agreed to be the title sponsor and they have done so since the first competition started 13 years ago. Mahmood Malik from Penguin Sports, who recently opened a sport-shop in the new Carriages centre, will be one of the suppliers of
