Raad kom onder skoot HEDDA MITTNER

Gemoedere het by tye hoog geloop by die derde laaste van Overstrand-munisipaliteit (OM) se openbare konsepbegrotingvergaderings wat Dinsdagaand by die De Wetsaal in Onrus (Wyk 13) gehou is. In teenstelling met die vorige vergaderings waar net ’n handjievol mense opgedaag het, het ongeveer 60 mense dié woelige vergadering bygewoon.

Die goeie opkoms in Onrus kan gedeeltelik toegeskryf word aan die feit dat die vergadering bygewoon is deur nie net die plaaslike inwoners nie, maar ook verskeie mense wat die vergaderings in hul eie wyke misgeloop het of nie kon bywoon nie.

Nadat die burgemeester, Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, en Ben Solomon, voorsitter van die OM se finans-por-

tefeulje, die gehoor toegespreek het oor die OM se konsepbegroting vir 2014-2015, het ’n lewendige vraag-enantwoord-sessie gevolg.

Verskeie inwoners wou weet of die OM se salarisrekening nie buitensporig is terwyl belastingbetalers, en veral pensioenarisse, sukkel om die tariefverhogings by te bring nie. Een inwoner het gesê hy kan nie sien hoekom die munisipale amptenare se salarisse met 12% moet styg “terwyl die belastingbetalers net meer en meer moet opdok vir dienste” nie.

Solomon se verweer was dat, as oortyd en bystandbetalings buite rekening gehou word, die salarisverhoging slegs 8,4% is. Die salarisstruktuur word op nasionale vlak voorgeskryf, het hy gesê, en die OM doen alles in sy vermoë om die salarisse te regverdig deur meer produktief te wees en kostes te besnoei.

’n Ander inwoner het weer verwys na die vullisverwyderingstariewe wat sedert verlede jaar per wooneenheid bereken word en nie meer per vullisdrom nie. Dit het veral pensioenarisse wat in aftreekomplekse soos Kidbrooke woon swaar getref, het hy gesê.

Solomon het in antwoord hierop gesê die OM hét gekyk daarna, maar die redenasie is dat een of twee mense wat in ’n deeltitel-eenheid woon net soveel vullis genereer as een of twee mense wat in ’n voltitel-huis woon. “Ons voel dis regverdig en ongelukkig volstaan ons by ons besluit,” het hy gesê.

Solomon het bygevoeg dat die OM die saak nou as afgehandel beskou, maar net daarna het nog ’n inwoner van Hermanus (Wyk 4), Jurie Hamman, beswaar aangeteken en gesê: “U benadering is verkeerd.”

Hamman, wat die voorsitter van

Fynbospark se regspersoon is, het aangevoer dat die OM nie voldoen aan die bepalings van munisipale wetgewing nie en selektief is oor wat hulle as voorskriftelik beskou.

“Volgens wetgewing mag die groepering ten opsigte van tariewe wel aangepas word, maar nie as dit lei tot diskriminasie nie,” het hy gesê.

“Daardie oortreding word begaan wanneer daar geen onderskeid getref word tussen voltitel en deeltitel nie. Hulle kan nie saam gegroepeer word nie want hulle is hoegenaamd nie dieselfde ding nie.” Hy het voorts daarop gewys dat daar byvoorbeeld twee huise op een residensiële erf mag wees en dat dit neerkom op diskriminasie.

“Die wet skryf voor dat daar ’n verband moet wees tussen die tarief (wat die verbruiker betaal) en die diens (wat die verbruiker daarvoor kry). Vir al die ander dienste soos

water, elektrisiteit en riool is daar ’n maatstaf wat toegepas word sodat die verbruiker duidelik kan sien wat hy per eenheid vir die diens betaal.

“Maar met die vullisverwyderingstarief hardloop julle weg van hierdie beginsel. Verlede jaar het dit neergekom op ’n verhoging van 745% vir dieselfde diens as voorheen, en hierdie jaar is dit ongeveer 300%. Ons betaal reeds oor die R1,000 per 240F-vullisdrom waar dit ons voorheen slegs R129 gekos het vir dieselfde hoeveelheid vullis.”

Die burgemeester, wat verlede jaar reeds samesprekings met Hamman gevoer het oor dié aangeleentheid en die inwoners van Fynbospark self gaan toespreek het tydens ’n oproerige vergadering, het haar sigbaar vererg en gesê die OM is beslis nie skuldig aan dubbele standaarde nie. Vervolg op bladsy 2

Law Enforcers ready for Easter weekend JANINE VAN DER RIET

Bring your items I will give you a TRUE and HONEST Valuation Then, take the best price for your items.

With the Overstrand traffic officials, together with the provincial traffic department, law enforcement and the police on stand-by, the Overstrand is ready for the influx of visitors during the Easter weekend.

During the launch of the Overberg Safer Easter Programme in March, Hermanus Traffic Chief, Rudi Fraser, said their main focus this Easter is to bring down the road fatalities.

Last year the Overstrand had 11 fatalities during the Easter weekend.

“This year we want to bring it down to zero,” Fraser said. The Overstrand Traffic Department will concentrate on bringing speedsters

to justice, doing checks on the roadworthiness of vehicles and testing the alcohol levels of drivers.

The Overstrand traffic officials, together with law enforcement, will also maintain visibility throughout the weekend and officials will patrol critical routes like the N2, R43, R316, R319 and R44. They will also patrol in caravan parks and visit bars and pubs to see if the owners are sticking to the trading hours as well as their population certificate, determining how many visitors are allowed on the premises.

Traffic, law enforcement and the fire department officials will work longer hours to ensure the safety on our roads and surroundings.

“I would like to thank the public for their co-operation. Every year most visitors and residents behave and the traffic and law enforcement departments do not have too many problems,” said Fraser.

The station commander of the Hermanus Police Station, Colonel Nomana Adonis, said there will be a maximum deployment of SAPS members to combat crime concentrating on hot spot areas.

“Visitors must bear with us as we will have some vehicle check points (VCP) on the R43 and other exit routes around Hermanus, concentrating on illegal substances and preventing property crime. All liquor licence holders are urged to stick to their licence conditions, as there will be zero tolerance to those who contravene conditions.”

She further said motorists are urged to be cautious on the road and obey all the rules and regulations. Drunk drivers will not be tolerated.

“Although we will be having a maximum deployment, we urge the public to safeguard their own property and not to be negligent.” ) For any emergencies you can contact SAPS on 028 313 5300, 028 313 5306, 028 313 5349, 028 313 5350 or Toll Free 10111 from a Telkom land line and 112 from a cell phone. Choose option two and ask to be transferred to the Hermanus Police Station.

The Overstrand Municipality’s control room 24 hour number for law enforcement emergencies is 028 313 8111. The fire department can be reached on 028 312 2400. The OM will be open from 07:45 to 16:30 on normal working days, and closed on public holidays.

Vervolg van bladsy 1 Botha-Guthrie het verwys na Hamman se aanmerking by ’n vorige geleentheid dat sy nie kan somme maak nie en gesê: “Ons somme verskil steeds.” Hierop het nog ’n inwoner, Danie van Niekerk van Wyk 3, gesê hy het ’n probleem met die “high-handed attitude” wat die burgemeester met Hamman geneem het, maar Botha-Guthrie het geantwoord dat “mens se geduld net so ver kan strek”.

Van Niekerk het ook weer na die amptenary se salarispakkette verwys en wou weet of dit op nasionale vlak voorgeskryf of net aanbeveel word.

Solomon moes erken dat dit net ’n aanbeveling is en dat ’n onafhanklike konsultasiemaatskappy die salarisse van die munisipale bestuurder en direkteure bepaal deur marknavorsing te doen oor soortgelyke bestuursposte in die privaatsektor.

Hy het gesê in vergelyking is die munisipale salarisse baie laer en is hy van mening dat hulle dit verdien deur baie hard te werk.

Aan Hamman het Solomon gesê die OM is bewus van sy siening en dat hy welkom is om sy besware op skrif te sit voor die einde van April. “Ons sal daarna kyk,” het hy gesê, maar bygevoeg dat hy niks kan belowe nie.

Nog ’n inwoner van Hermanus (Wyk 3)

wat baie op die hart gehad het was Piet Louw, wat verwys het na “die kommerwekkende probleem van die OM se langtermyn volhoubaarheid”, gebaseer op die ongelykheid van die inkomsteverdeling van huishoudings in die Overstrand, waarvan 68% minder as R6 300 per maand verdien, terwyl die laagste besoldiging vir munisipale werknemers R6 500 beloop.

Hy het versekeie statistieke opgehaal en Solomon moes hom later onderbreek deur te sê: “Meneer Louw, jy maak nou misbruik van hierdie geleentheid. Wát is jou vraag?”

Toe Louw voorgaan deur te sê dat die OM se gemiddelde jaarlikse salarisverhogings oor die afgelope sewe jaar 14% behels, wat ver bo inflasie is, het Solomon dit ten sterkste ontken en gesê Louw maak ongestaafde uitlatings en is welkom om die OM uit te daag met sy syfers.

Die vergadering het op ’n vroliker noot afgesluit nadat twee inwoners vir wykraadslid Elzette Nel bedank het vir alles wat sy vir Wyk 13 doen.

“Niemand werk harder as Nel nie,” het Bevan Pope gesê. “Die manier waarop sy vir haar wyk sorg maak dit die mooiste en lekkerste plek in die Overstrand.”

Nog ’n konsepbegrotingvergadering is Woensdagaand in Gansbaai gehou en die laaste een vind Woensdag 23 April plaas by die Zwelihle-gemeenskapsaal om 18:00.

René Grater and Ninky Matthee who have completed all nine Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse walks, were honoured for their achieve­ ment and commitment at the formal L2L function held at La Vi­ erge on Wednesday 9 April.

KERRY VAN RENSBURG The Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse ladies exchanged their hiking boots and shorts for elegant evening wear at the formal celebration and cheque handover function held at La Vierge restaurant Wednesday 9 April.

The 63 women who participated in this year’s walk, raised a total of R316 335.

Kids Can, a charity based in Kleinmond, received the money raised from the L2L practice walk and Sheila Lyle, chairperson of the L2L committee presented a cheque for R31 050 to Mervyn Gray and Hannatjie Doordruin from the organisation.

It was with much excitement and fanfare that a sum of R285 285 was handed over to Hermanus Waldorf School. The money will go towards buying a 21-seater bus for the school.

Sheila says the amount raised was a great achievement in difficult economic times. “This means in total, over the nine years of the Lighthouse walks the ladies have raised in excess of R1,4 M for Overstrand charities and it is only thanks to the enormous support of our wonderful suppliers and people of the Overstrand that we can continue this effort. In 2015 it will be our 10th walk and should be really special.”

The women who won prizes for raising the most money (excluding the committee members) were, in first place Linda Bellas, who raised R13 500 and won a wonderful prize from Beaumont Wines; Ann Theron, in second place who raised R9 687 and won a lunch for two at Grootbos; in third position was Ninky Matthee who raised R8 900 and won a lunch for two at The Marine Hotel; in fourth spot was Michelle Emett who raised R7 675 and won a voucher from Lembu Gallery.

In the absence of the mayor, Cllr Lianda Beyers Cronjé said in her speech: “The L2L walk has become a legend in the Overstrand and beyond. I am convinced that one can only appreciate this heroic effort if you have participated in the walk yourself, like I did a couple of years ago. Apart from nursing my mutilated toes for at least a month after the event, I remember forcing my wobbly legs to take just one step more, one at a time during the last long lap to Danger Point.

“But I remember the camaraderie among the women,thelongtalkswhilewalkingalongpristine beaches and breathtaking coastal vegetation, and above all the victorious feeling afterwards that one has conquered your own fears and weaknesses while doing something really good for your community. We salute you magnificent ladies of the Lighthouse. May your light shine for many years to come.”

Kragonderbrekings lei na vinnig kerse gryp JANINE VAN DER RIET

Inwoners van Sandbaai, Zwelihle, die industriële gebied, Mount Pleasant, Westcliff, Westdene en die nuwe hawegebied moes Saterdag en Sondag vinnig na kerse gryp ná verskeie kragonderbrekings.

Koos du Plessis, senior bestuurder by die Overstrandmunisipaliteit se elektro-tegniese dienste, sê Saterdag se kragonderbreking is veroorsaak toe albei hooftoevoervoorsienings van Eskom af na die Hermanus-substasie uitgeskop het.

Eskom is tans besig met ’n ondersoek na wat fout gegaan het ná die OM ’n verslag van Eskom aangevra het, het Du Plessis gesê.

Die beplande kragonderbreking Sondag van 09:00 tot 13:00, soos wat die OM dit in die Hermanus Times geadverteer het, se werklike afskakelingstyd was van 09:00 tot 09:45.

“Dit is gedoen om vrag op die nuwe Walker Bay-skakelstasie te plaas,” het Du Plessis verduidelik.

Om ongeveer 19:10 het die skakelstasie uitgeskop op oorlading en terugskakeling was voltooi teen 19:30.

Om 19:35 het die skakelstasie weer uitgeskop waarna die toevoer teruggeskakel is op Eskom se netwerk.

“Die elektriese departement van die OM is ook tans besig met ’n ondersoek na die oorsaak van onreëlmatige uitskopvoorvalle,” het Du Plessis gesê.

AfriForum bied verdedigingskursus aan AfriForum gaan binnekort gratis klasse in die Overstrand aanbied in paraatheid, teenverkragtingsopleiding en noodhulp.

Die paraatheidklas, ’n inligtingsessie met ’n demonstrasie, vind Dinsdag 22 April in die munisipale ouditorium van 18:00 tot 20:30 plaas.

Donderdag 24 April word twee sessies vir teenverkragtingsopleiding gehou, maksimum 16 mense per sessie, by die Whale Coast Hotel in Hermanus. Die eer-

ste sessie is van 09:00 tot 13:00 en die tweede sessie van 17:30 tot 21:30 vir werkende vroue. Dra gemaklike klere vir die demonstrasies.

Donderdag 24 April word ’n noodhulpkursus, ook gratis, aangebied. Die maksimum per sessie is 16 mense. Dit word by die munisipale ouditorium gehou van 17:30 tot 21:30.

Stanford up in arms over loss of trees HEDDA MITTNER Several Stanford residents were up in arms last week about the indigenous Karee trees (Rhus lancea) that were cut down in Church Street. They vented their anger on the social network, Facebook, and one resident almost came to blows with the contractor tasked with chopping down the trees.

According to resident Annalize Mouton, she was driving down to the river on Monday afternoon last week when she saw a few men with saws cutting down the last of five healthy and fully grown Karee trees in front of Stanford House’s cottages.

“Today is a very sad day in our local village’s life. A crime has been committed and I wish I knew who gave permission for this to be done,” Mouton wrote on her Facebook profile. She also added two photographs – one of what the street had looked like only three weeks ago and then on last Monday afternoon after the “massacre”.

Mouton’s post elicited many heated comments such as: “This makes me so angry I could scream!”, “What a shame!” and “This is absolutely shocking...”

The conflict escalated further when another resident, Penny van den Berg, tried to stop one of the men from continuing to cut down the trees.

Van den Berg wrote on Facebook that the man stormed towards her and she had to hold out her arm and ask him to keep a respectful distance.

She then phoned the police and asked them to halt the chainsaws until it could be established who had granted permission for the trees to be cut down on municipal property (the pavement).

“When the police arrived these contractors decided to lay a charge of assault against me,” Van den Berg wrote on Facebook.

She was informed that the contractors had obtained permission from Petronella Ferreira from the Stanford municipal office after the developers of Stanford House had made the request to have the trees removed.

“Yes, there was a lot of emotion involved,” says Royd Frith, the outgoing chairperson of Stanford Conservation (SC), “but we had to get the facts first.”

Frith wrote a letter to Ferreira, which she forwarded to Francois Myburgh of the Gansbaai municipal office.

AND AFTER: Church Street in Stanford looks empty after several Karee trees were cut down to the ground last week.

“I was heartened by the response from Myburgh who took personal control of the situation,” says Frith.

“We held a meeting on Thursday last week and he explained that the reason for the developers’ request was not the desire to let more light into the cottages, as was rumoured, but rather the fact that the trees’ invasive root system was encroaching on the property and causing serious damage to the water pipes.”

When Myburgh showed him the damage, Frith says he realised that the municipality had made the right decision.

“They had no other choice,” he says.

Myburgh apologised to Frith on behalf of Ferreira for not honouring the agreement to notify SC of activities of this nature.

“We are grateful for the apology and look forward to greater cooperation between the municipality and SC in future,” says Frith.

The developers of Stanford House will rehabilitate the area by planting new trees with a less invasive root system.

“The whole saga has had an excellent outcome,” says Frith.

“It is wonderful to know that Stanfordians are always ready to support and protect their town and environment.”

Farmers and workers unite for change

CHILDLINE 0800 055 555

KERRY VAN RENSBURG Valley farmers and their workers joined the Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Tourism, Alan Winde, Overstrand Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie and Western Cape parliamentarians for the launch of the Hemel-en-Aarde Development Association on Tuesday 8 April.

The association aims to coordinate development, upliftment and education amongst the agricultural communities in the Hemelen-Aarde Valley. It will be an NPO with members consisting of producers and farm workers working together to change their community.

The farmers and farms that initiated the formation of the association include Ian Wiegman (Zuiderkruis), Jadri Lotter (Vrede), Dawie Kruger (Southend) and Danie van Zyl (Karweyderskraal).

The Hemel-en-Aarde Development Association is part of a bigger plan in the Western Cape (WC) farming community. According to Van Zyl, the provincial parliament member, Johan Visser, who is chairperson of local government, and was a guest at the launch, came up with the idea of forming NGOs to develop rural/farm communities. There are now seven associations that have been established.

Winde gave an overview of the economy in the WC and said marketing is part of his job and an important aspect for farmers. Two most significant factors for economic growth include selling our products to the world in a competitive space and attracting investors.

He raised the question whether our people have the skills to function in a competitive business environment.

He said there is a misalignment of the jobs being created in the type of economy we have and the skills needed to fill these opportunities. “It is easy to talk about poverty alleviation, but not so easy to do something about it.”

It was important to give people hope and the best way out of poverty is a job. “We need to move from grants to salaries,” he said.

Johan Montgomery from Hamilton Russell Vineyeards spoke about the problems they face with seasonal farm workers and the need to keep them employed so as not to lose them

Founding farmers and dignitaries who attended the launch of the Hemel­en­Aarde Develop­ ment Association last Tuesday evening, included from left: Jadri Lotter (Vrede), Ian Wiegman (Zuiderkruis), MPP Johan Visser, Dawie Kruger (Southend), MPP Mike Walters, Danie van Zyl (Karweyderskraal), Mayor Nicolette Botha­Guthrie and Provincial Minister of Finance, Eco­ nomic Development and Tourism, Alan Winde.

Winde then offered to provide the money for the training of workers so they can learn the skills needed to operate the tractors if Montgomery developed an accredited course to train them.

Ian Wiegman, the acting chairperson of the Hemel-en-Aarde Development Association, said the valley has three factors that count in its favour, namely: The geographical lay of the land/typography which lends itself to interaction and constructive support among the farmers; historically the upliftment and development dates back to the days of the rural foundation, and although it no longer exits, many farms continue to do significant work in this regard; and churches from Hermanus have been involved in community upliftment in the valley for some time already.

Wiegman said: “Individual farms and organisations might be doing their bit, but there is still a definite void when it comes to identifying and addressing some of the needs of the farming community as a whole.

He said three focus points have been identified and they include the family, sport and cultural activities.

He emphasised that the association is not

a political organisation and will not be run by the farm-owners and managers only, but is a partnership between employers and employees.

At the end of the formal proceedings, the founding farmers signed the constitution of the Hemel-en-Aarde Development Association. They will have their first AGM on 15 May. Asked who will serve on their committee, Van Zyl said: “As per the constitution, a member consists of a farm with both an employer representative and one employee representative for every 10 permanent workers. Karweyderskraal for instance will have three representatives on the association, consisting of myself (representing employer) and Joseph Jansen and Government Lusiba representing the 16 permanent workers.

Then there will also be a smaller committee running the day-to-day operation and driving the projects, that will be elected during our first AGM.”

Suitable developer sought for De Mond resort Developers who are interested in leasing the De Mond Caravan Park and adjacent land for the development of a public resort, have been invited by the Overstrand Municipality to submit a response to their Request for Qualification (RFQ). The area of land that the long-term lease applies to in excess of 10 ha and includes erven 4831 and 5327, which is De Mond Caravan Park, as well as the adjacent land of Klein River Lagoon Park and a launching area along the river front.

The Overstrand Municipality published a notice in the Hermanus Times on 27 March stating that the aim of the RFQ is to test the market appetite for financially sound and environmentally sensitive developers with the necessary experience and proven track record to enter into a long-term lease with the municipality to establish, manage, operate and maintain a public resort.

The resort must cater for the needs of the broader public, including tourist groups and commercial interests through

the availability of, among other aspects, accommodation and conference facilities.

The property for this development has a restrictive condition which stipulates that the land cannot be sold and it may only be used for resort recreational purposes.

The municipality will establish a shortlist of qualifying developers and then, should they meet the pre-qualification criteria, they will be asked to submit development proposals (Request for Proposal). Potential developers can get their RFQ documents from the Overstrand Municipality offices in Magnolia Avenue between 08:30 and 15:30. The document fee is R300, or it can be downloaded free of charge from www.overstrand.gov.za. The closing time for the submission of these qualification documents is 12:00 on 30 May. For further enquiries or to inspect the subject property, contact Riaan Kuchar at rkuchar@overstrand.gov.za or Anja Kotze at anjakotze@overstrand.gov.za or call 028 313 8900.

EASTER TASTINGS AT WINE VILLAGE: There will be a surprise for customers and their children on Saturday 19 April, com­ pliments of the Easter Bunny, but also a few new wines to taste for the parents.

Paul du Toit says they have five new wines from two new wineries on offer. The first is from Bramon, a winery in the Plettenberg Bay area. Their portfolio includes a Sauvi­ gnon Blanc, and two MCC’s: a Sauvignon Blanc and a Blanc de Blanc. Blake’s Family Vineyards are a husband and wife team: Andries and Marinda Blake. Andries has been a part of the wine industry for 23 years and has worked in some well­known wineries. His eldest son is following in his footsteps and is studying at Elsenburg in Stellenbosch. The two wines that Blake’s has on offer are a white blend, the Tour­ maline and a Cape Blend, Amethyst. Also, Brenda’s is one of the suppliers for the Wine Village’s delicatessen and there is al­ ways something new that will be perfect for the chef at home. There are also many different types of brandies and spirits as well as craft beers for those who enjoy something other than wine. On the tasting counter from 18 to 21 April will be: Bramon MCC, Bramon Sauvignon Blanc, Creation WhalePod Sauvignon Blanc, Badsberg Chenin Blanc, Opstal The Mill Iron White, Blake Tourmaline, Vondeling Rosé, Blake Amethyst, Vierkoppen Caber­ net Sauvignon, Claim d’ Or Cabernet Franc, Belfield Aristata, Beaumont Shiraz/ Mouvedre and Badsberg Hanepoot. Bos­ man Family Vineyards will also be doing an in­store tasting of their wines on Satur­ day 19 April from 10:00 to 16:00 at the Wine Village. During Easter weekend the Wine Village will be open on: Friday 18 April from 09:00 ­18:00; Saturday 19 April from 09:30 ­17:00, Sunday 20 April from 10:00 to 15:00 and Monday 21 April from 09:00 ­18:00.

The dance floor was packed and almost everyone quickly picked up on the steps. Besides everyone having a fun time, the barn dancing proved to be a good workout too.

Night shelter fundraiser was an ‘opskop’ of note CILENE BEKKER 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 for a new and bigger shelter.

To help raise funds to make this new shelter a reality, a barn dance evening was organised

by Linda Daneel, secretary of the Hermanus Night Shelter Association. It was held at the Sandbaai Hall last Friday evening.

All in all over 200 people attended the event, with almost everyone cheerfully dressed in plaid shirts, cowboy boots/hats and colourful neck scarves. There were 24 tables (seating 10 each) and the host of each table took care of decorating the table according to the theme, and organising eats. Guests paid R100 each and brought their own glasses/cups and cutlery.

The Sandbaai hall provided a cash bar, and guests were allowed to bring their own wine, but had to pay a nominal corkage fee.

Kevin Abbott, musician, was the MC and

“caller” and guided the very willing “cowboys/girls” on how to master the barn dance steps. Further entertainment was provided by Edian Barnard, who sang a few country and western songs, and instructors from Hermanus Dance School gave a dancing demonstration. Towards the latter part of the evening langarm took over from the more robust barn dancing, and cases of wine, donated by various wineries in the area, were auctioned.

The plan for the new shelter was drawn up

by Les Abbott from LA Design Studios, who is also the chairman of the association.

The new shelter will have accommodation

for 22 men and five women, with separate bathroom facilities, a kitchen, dining area and an office for a part-time social worker. The current shelter has room for 12 people.

“Two shift workers will also be employed who would be responsible for screening each person needing shelter,” says Daneel. “Those to whom shelter are given may not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. After three incidents, they are not allowed to return to the shelter.” The homeless who make use of the current shelter pay R5 per day which is utilised for shelter needs. There is also a team of over 30 people who prepare dinner for the inhabitants, and another good samaritan in

Due to the success of this fundraising evening Abbott said that it may well become an annual event.

Thank you to car guards Further to previous letters regarding car guards in the Times : Yes, these people are trying to make a living by doing a proper job.

They are in fact the result of an initiative to create jobs. Our local car guard not only keeps an eye on the cars in his area, but also sees to it that “his” parking area remains neat by grabbing a broom and sweeping up.

He also does his best to keep criminal elements out of the area. One of them in fact identified a suspect after a theft from our offices, and assisted us and the police in tracking him down. It is thus disappointing that some members of the public drive off without giving him anything after he has pointed them to an open parking space, guided them into it (in a rather constricted parking area where guidance is helpful), guarded their car while they are elsewhere and finally guided them out again.

Come on guys – he has earned something!

EDITORIAL COMMENT Safe Easter to all Happy Easter to all our readers.

With the Easter weekend upon us, businesses are looking forward to a good weekend of sales, the working class is looking forward to a long weekend without having to wake up early to go to work and the kids are excited about all the Easter eggs they will be hunting for.

Visitors to the Overstrand cannot wait for a great long weekend, with hopefully perfect weather.

There is so much to do and see in Hermanus this Easter weekend, from a variety of craft markets to the Passion Play in the Old Harbour.

Law enforcers have warned residents and visitors of their zero tolerance approach.

This comes after the launch of the Overberg Safer Easter Programme in March where it was decided to bring down road fatalities in the Overstrand/Overberg area.

Last year there were 11 road fatalities during Easter and authorities are hoping to bring it down to zero.

The Hermanus Police have also expressed their plans to have regular roadblocks, not to irritate visitors and residents, but to ensure that everyone has a safe and happy Easter without fatalities, on the road or elsewhere.

Keep safe and enjoy your break.

Pain after double loss I have endured a lot of pain in the past few years. Both my brothers were taken from me at a young age.

Firstly, I lost my baby brother in 2008. He went to bed one evening and never woke up again. There was nothing wrong with him that we knew of.

Then on 18 March this year, I lost the only brother I had left. He worked at the provincial hospital and then he got a promotion to work as supervisor in Maitland.

He went to the doctor for an eye test and while the doctor was busy scanning his eyes, he died.

The doctors explained his death was because of an eye infection.

We don’t know what’s going on with our family, so I am asking everyone to pray for us.

I would like to thank my brother’s colleagues from the provincial hospital for their support. Thank you to Miss Crammer, Sister Shirley and Sister Daizee for your help and support.

My brother leaves behind two children.

Werksessie oor armoede nodig Die artikel van Cas van Rensburg oor die swaarkry van bejaardes in die Overstrand (Hermanus Times 3 April) en die uitvoerende burgemeester se repliek daarop (Hermanus Times 10 April) verwys.

Ek is die afgelope drie jaar ten nouste betrokke by die nood van arm mense in die Hermanus-omgewing. Wat ek feitlik daagliks beleef, is skrikwekkend.

Dit is ’n wanpersepsie dat slegs bruin en swart inwoners arm is. Natuurlik is daar baie van hulle wat bitter arm is maar daar is ook tientalle wittes wat net so swaar kry.

Daar word weinig, indien enige, voorsiening gemaak om bejaardes se nood wesenlik te verlig. ’n Staatspensioen van R1 360 per persoon en gratis mediese dienste by die kliniek en hospitaal, is al waarop hulle aanspraak kan maak.

Hulle raak dus van hulporganisasies soos Helpende Hand afhanklik om ’n menswaardige bestaan te voer. Wat voedsel en klere betref, word daar deur skenkings van feitlik al die hulporganisasies redelik goed voorsiening gemaak.

Die enkele grootste probleem vir die armstes van die armes in die Hermanusomgewing is bekostigbare behuising. Die goedkoopste akkommodasie wat ek van weet, is ’n eenkamer-woonstel waarvan die maandelikse huur R2 100 bedra – sonder elektrisiteit. Hoe kan ’n bejaarde weduwee of wewenaar dit bekostig met ’n bruto maandelikse inkomste van R1 360?

Buitendien is wooneenhede in hierdie prysklas in Hermanus skaarser as hoendertande.

Die munisipaliteit se hulppakket voldoen nie aan die behoeftes van die armes nie.

Eiendomsbelasting is byvoorbeeld nie ter sake nie, want die armes besit geen eiendom nie. Hoe kwalifiseer huurders vir die 6 kl water, 50 kWh elektrisiteit en gratis sanitasie en vullisverwydering as hulle nie die eiendom besit of ’n permanente woonplek het nie? ’n Bejaarde man wat met Helpende Hand se hulp ’n eenkamer-woonstel huur, sukkel al drie maande om die toegewing op water, sanitasie en elektrisiteit van die munisipaliteit te kry.

Dit wil voorkom asof ’n berg rompslomp eers oorbrug moet word. ’n Paar jaar gelede is daar in Gansbaai ’n aantal HOP-huise eksklusief vir witmense gebou. Dit was op aandrang van ’n swart ANC-raadslid wat geredeneer het “dat wit mense net so swaar soos ons kry”.

Op my vraag aan ’n raadslid van Overstrand of dieselfde nie ook in Hermanus kan gebeur nie, was sy antwoord “dat dit nie deel van Overstrand-munisipaliteit se langtermyn beplanning is nie”.

Sou dit nie ’n tree op die moeisame pad na armoedeverligting in ons dorp wees, as al die rolspelers wat maatskaplike hulp verleen, dit wil sê die kerke, maatskaplike werkers en diensorganisasies soos Helpende Hand, die Round Table, Rotariërs en andere, deur die agbare burgemeester genooi word om deel te neem aan ’n werksessie waarin alle aspekte van armoede onder die loep geneem word nie?

Individuele groepe se behoeftes kan by so ’n geleentheid geïdentifiseer word. Op hierdie wyse kan knelpunte bespreek en na oplossings gesoek word.

PIETER HURTER SOLIDARITEIT HELPENDE HAND HERMANUS

Hermanus history or Africhina for the CBD? Mr Bob Stanway (HRA), a revitalised programme cannot start without the removal of the joint appeals against the mall which will pave the way for proper planning for the already declined CBD. The transport matter to the malls is in place as there are taxis which the elderly may use, or special days and times and routes could be arranged throughout the Overstrand region.

The Overstrand Municipality reported that only 9% of the residents are over 70 so how did you get to the large elderly population that needs transport in your appeal? It seems the services of only one taxi would be needed.

About the rest of the appeal one cannot comment as the appeal has been withheld from us, the Hermanus ratepayers, which is more than likely going to be thumb sucking also.

Your appeal only means more delays and losses.

Logical thinking is that Retail Africa would need to complete their business plan.

OM cannot plan ahead until they know what is happening. Business being lost, jobs are lost, sales of stagnant projects in Sandbaai could escalate, and last but not least the appeals are in the way of planning a revitalisation programme for the CBD. The selfish appeal from the privileged few is also in the way of changing Hermanus to a fisherman’s village look, or are you happy with the new Africhina look in the CBD? Even the Chinese tourists would want to see the history of Hermanus which is lost between the whale promotions.

Taking reference from the HT letter by the Hermanus Business Chamber and your last letter in the HT that the HRA is riding on the back of others – that is a problem area that needs to be addressed and corrected.

We can only take hands and take Hermanus forward by removing the stumbling blocks and by engaging with the public at large through ratepayers associations and eventually the OM for their approval.

Traffic offenders in Stanford a great concern to ratepayers On the 3rd of April, in the afternoon, a senior citizen, an 82-year-old man, was driven off his bicycle on the corner of De Bruyn and Bezuidenhout Street in Stanford.

The driver of this vehicle got out to see if there were any damages to his pick-up (Toyota Hilux). He got into his vehicle and drove off while the cyclist was still trying to get up. He did not have the decency to ask if the gentleman was hurt or anything. Many people had noticed what happened and reported it to SAPS at Stanford. According to the gentleman no one from SAPS came to him for a statement.

Another incident happened where a minibus which transported learners from Gansbaai Academia drove over stop signs like they

didn’t exist, almost colliding with a vehicle.

Children had to jump out of the road due to the negligent driving.

Here in Stanford the motorists do as they wish. The motorists are used to the routine of the traffic department officers working in the area because there’s high visibility in Hermanus and Gansbaai. But what about Stanford? We’re also ratepayers and require the services from the authorities. Must something happen first before they act?

CONCERNED COMMUNITY MEMBER

WO Sarena Hugo, communication officer: Stanford SAPS responds: Our records were checked and no complaint

of an accident was reported on Thursday 3 April 2014. If the writer of the letter could kindly supply us with the names of some of the “many” people that complained as well as the name of the cyclist we will investigate the matter.

The SAPS does have patrol vehicles in the area 24 hours a day. The vehicles do patrol in the areas most affected by priority crimes. Although traffic violations are not a strict priority, nine traffic-related crimes have been registered for April so far, 13 cases were registered for March 2014 and 19 for February 2014.

We cannot comment on the role of the traffic department or law enforcement. They fall under Overstrand Municipality and operate as a separate entity.

Gisteroggend vroeg toe die mooi volmaan so oor die horison wegsak, was daar nie ver van hom af nie (so skuins regs onder hom) ook “reisigers” in die ruimte binne twee sterrestelsels met die name Boötes, wat herders beteken, en Virgo wat maagd beteken.

Vir baie duisende jare al is hulle elke jaar tydens die Pase op hierdie reis in die hemelruim en mik dan na ’n derde sterrestelsel met die naam Gemini die tweeling, wat vir baie gelowiges die Seun en die Heilige in die sprokie is, doer onder waar Jupiter rondhang.

In Bybels word die storie verder vertel dat daar ’n ster vir die herders verskyn het wat hulle na die stalle van Bethlehem in Israel gelei het om groot vreugde te aanskou. Maar o wee, net 33 jaar later het die mooi maan, wat voor die reisigers in die ruimte reis, verduister en vir die mense in daardie deel van die wêreld rooi soos bloed geword. Hulle sê hy was hartseer. Elke 33 jaar word hy soos bloed en reën dit rondom die Pase. Hulle sê dis die bloedmaan se trane.

Maar hoe lekker is die storie verder dat die wolke en trane weggevee word en Weerhaan vandag vir almal kan vertel van die rustigheid in die bolug oor die hele Wes-Kaap. Die “losbol wind” wat saans oor die Overstrand opkom, is “vasgevat”

en sal hom tydens die Pase gedra. Vir oulaas was hy gister (Woensdag) nog nukkerig tussen 14 en 41 km/h grondlangs en ’n siedende 50 km/h daar bo.

Maar vandag word hy ’n bries van die see se kant af wat wolke indra. Hy wyk Sondagaand voor die suidwestewind. Maandagoggend skyn die son nog lekker tot 14:00 maar aand se kant begin die driedagreën. Dit sous meer as 9 mm voor 02:00 en meer as 5 mm voor die son Dinsdag opkom.

Dan kom die koue wind weer oor die see aan en vee die wolke “onder die mat in” soos mens maak as jy trane haastig wegvee om plek te maak vir vreugde.

Daardie windjie sal die Overstranders teen 12 grade voel en die naweek bietjie bederf, maar dan, volgende week Vrydag, sal ons die lekkerste sonskyn tot ná die 26ste van die maand geniet, met gedagtes oor wat 2014 jaar gelede by Bethlehem gebeur het.

Fernkloof Easter sale The Fernkloof Nursery will host its annual indigenous plant sale this Easter from 18 to 21 April.

The Hermanus Botanical Society started the nursery many years ago. Members of the society loved the plants they saw in and around the Fernkloof Reserve and along the coast so much that they wanted to grow them in their own gardens.

Local plants grow well in local soil and in a familiar climate.

The society started a small nursery in which local indigenous plants were propagated and nurtured by members and distributed

to members.

The Fernkloof Nursery has grown from these early beginnings and is now a commercial venture. Established within a nature reserve, it will only stock plants which are native to the Cape.

Now that the cooler days of autumn have arrived, it is time to replan and replant your Hermanus garden.

Nursery manager Jack Bold and his wife Cathy will give you a warm welcome any morning and offer good advice.

Visit the Fernkloof Nursery over the Easter weekend and take advantage of the wide variety of local plants at sale prices,

Stock up on indigenous plants at the Fernkloof Nursery’s Easter plant sale this weekend from 18 to 21 April.

Hermanus Business Chamber resolves to fight for CBD CILENE BEKKER While there is ongoing debate regarding the pros and cons of Retail Africa’s proposed Whale Coast shopping mall in Sandbaai, the Hermanus Business Chamber (HBC) has resolved to continue fighting for their appeal to be upheld.

The Chamber indicated that they expect to hear the outcome of their appeal by the end of April.

The Chamber has in the meantime made available their appeal document, which was delivered to the offices of Anton Bredell, minister of local government, environmental affairs and development planning, on 10 April.

The Chamber is the first appellant and the second appellant is Zamar Investments (Pty) Ltd. Retail Africa had applied for authorisation for the construction of a retail facility of 38 900m² and authorisation was granted for 27 800m². The authorisation states that the development will be “of an appropriate scale and so will not have unacceptable associate socio-economic impacts on existing businesses in the area.”

However, the HBC is convinced that the mall will have ruinous effect on the CBD and will also not stem the flow of people going over the mountain to do their shopping.

After the Directorate: Land Management (Region 2) granted authorisation for the proposed Retail Africa mall on 6 January 2014, the HBC and Zamar Investments (Pty) Ltd tasked Rode Consult to provide an expert perspective in aid of the review of the environmental authorisation. (See Rode Consult report on page 16). Their appeal is based on the findings of this report. ) First ground of appeal: Failure to have regard to relevant considerations and to assess properly the true need and desirability of the proposed development Having only been granted a smaller retail space of 27 800m², the appellants argue that the mall could merely be expected to draw customers from a surrounding area of 3–5 km, and is unlikely to draw any significant customers from a wider area. It will not stem the outflow to Cape Town or Somerset West, as a big regional mall could do.

According to the appellants, the CBD, which is some 4 km away, already houses the vast majority of the national retail chain stores.

“The CBD is central to the primary economic activity of Hermanus – tourism. The CBD is dependant on a large number of pedestrians coming into the area as tourists, shoppers or employees,” the appeal reads.

The appellants also point out that, apart from the current retail node in the CBD, there is the Gateway Centre 2 km to the west and several convenience shopping centres in Sandbaai, Onrus and Vermont.

In addition, on 26 November 2009, the director granted environmental authorisation for the construction of a community shopping centre of 20 000m², to be called the Southern Cross shopping centre, on Erf 1447 in Sandbaai, a mere 500 m west of the proposed Retail Africa mall. Since this au-

thorisation, the developer of Southern Cross has decided to scale down the development to a neighbourhood shopping centre of 12 000m².

Also on 6 January 2014, the directorate granted authorisation for the development of a retail facility on Farm 572/1 Hawston, comprising 10 000m², after the applicant had applied for authorisation for the construction of a small regional shopping centre of 38 000m².

The HBC is convinced that there is no need for another small shopping centre in Sandbaai and that a regional retail facility in Hawston would be more desirable, for the following reasons: - the site falls outside of the Hermanus CBD primary catchment area, and will enable the CBD to compete more effectively.

- being closer to the N2, it is more likely to attract regional shoppers and tourists off the N2 and into the greater Hermanus.

- the size of the area available for development in Hawston, and the character of the surrounding erven means that, unlike the Retail Africa site, it has the potential to accommodate a bigger regional mall.

- It would stimulate essential growth, offer employment opportunities, and uplift the standard of living by integrating Hawston into Hermanus. It is this growth that is needed to underpin growing municipal revenues, which are used to provide the population with jobs as well as essential services.

- The vast majority of the 7 000 new houses expected to be added in the area over the next few years are to be situated in the three urban extensions surrounding Hawston.

The supply of retail should follow to the Hawston area, also in order to provide a boost to the economy of the immediate area. ) Second ground of appeal: Failure to appreciate the disastrous socio-economic consequences of the activities for which authorisation was sought The appellants point out that because few national retailers are likely to consider it viable in the long-term to have a second store only 3,5km from their CBD store, the risks of short-term cannibalisation are indeed very high. This is the result of several factors: - the proposed mall is at an intercept position for the vast majority of local and regional traffic - the location of the proposed mall is in the centre of retail purchasing power - the mall will offer free parking, and - a climate-controlled one-stop shopping facility.

According to the appellants national business, or any other leading retailer, will tap into this and open two stores if its lease in the CBD is still active, and will then close its CBD store at the first available opportunity.

“The end result will be that the national supermarket and clothing anchor tenants will depart the CBD for the Retail Africa site,” the appeal states. “The exodus will be devastating. Trade will in all likelihood collapse, save for small, low-rent businesses like pawn brokers, micro-lenders and sex shops that will replace the former CBD

FITNESS FACTORY: The Fitness Factory is a new fitness centre offering programmes to people of all ages and fitness levels, located in Sandbaai Indus­ tria, 4 Argon Road, Unit 12 (next to Kekkel en Kraai). Alicia Boonzaaier, the person behind Kettel­ bell Dynamics, and Mandy Pampallis, who relocated from Kowie Kettlebell in the Eastern Cape, have joined forces to open The Fitness Factory. Kettlebell weight training focuses on movement pattern skills, such as squatting, lunging and hinging, rather than isolated muscle devel­ opment. This kind of resistance training helps with weight loss, increased joint mobility and improves cardiovascular health.

tenants. The tourist trade will diminish.

Jobs will be lost and social decay will follow.” ) Third ground of appeal: Failure to take due cognisance of the relevant zonings, schemes, frameworks etc In terms of the Greater Hermanus SubRegional Structure plan (2000) the proposed site is reserved for Urban Area development. The appellants argue that it will thus not be possible to develop adjacent sites for the use of retail facilities, offices, a hotel or entertainment – one of the main functions of a regional centre – without rezoning and demolishing the existing residences around the site.

“The authorised development will also not be able to meet the standards set by the Western Cape Spatial Development Framework... (because) it will only provide economic opportunities associated directly with that minor mall, and provide none of the economic spin-offs and job opportunities which would flow from a larger mall.”

According to the appellants, the Directorate also ignored the OM structure plan (2006) which provides for the extension of the Hawston / Fisherhaven area “at a scale and in a manner which ensures that the area becomes the growth and development focus point of the greater Hermanus area.” ) Fourth ground for appeal: Failure to consider alternatives with regard to sites “By failing to consider alternative suitable sites the Directorate committed a fundamental breach of its statutory and regulatory obligations, fatally undermining the authorisation.” ) Fifth ground of appeal: Failure to take due cognisance of necessary traffic mitigation measures The appeal states that the traffic and road conditions on which the municipality insisted in their recommendation have been ignored.

“As a result the cash strapped municipality will have to divert funds from essential services, or other projects, to complete the substantial upgrades which it considers are required (and thus assume the burden of addressing the problems occasioned by the development itself).”

According to the appellants, the municipality would never have consented to the authorisation on that basis. ) Sixth ground of appeal: Procedural irregularities and unfairness The appellants have not been able to obtain access to the Hermanus Regional Analysis Report by Urban Studies 2010, which the Directorate considered important in its analysis of socio-economic consequences.

“The appeal should be upheld for this reason alone.”

Conclusion The appellants request that the authorisation granted to the developer by the Directorate should be set aside on appeal; alternatively, and in the event of the procedural unfairness contentions being upheld, that the MEC should require that those defects identified in the appeal be remedied before the appeal be considered afresh.

Generation-X – the penny drops Recent weeks have seen considerable media attention surrounding the so-called XGeneration, or “Gen-X”. More specifically, attention that focuses on their financial wellness (or not) and ability to “survive” financially, as years in retirement seem to be increasing all the time.

There is worldwide concern about this phenomenon as the focus increasingly shifts from the so-called baby-boomer generation (i.e. those born post WW II) to Gen-X and their unique challenges.

Generation-X broadly refers to people in the age group 30 to 50 years (i.e. born between mid60s and mid 80s). Web references profile them as being active, balanced, happy and family oriented. They are further characterised as “a generation whose worldview is based on change, on the need to combat corruption, dictatorships, abuse, AIDS, a generation in search of human dignity and individual freedom, the need for stability, love, tolerance, and human rights for all”. They are also better educated, less likely to smoke and more likely to be employed if they are female than babyboomers were. Sound familiar?

Compared with previous generations, Generation X represents an apparently more heterogeneous generation, openly acknowledging and embracing social diversity in terms of race, class, religion, ethnicity, culture, language, gender identity, and sexual orientation (Wikipedia).

This sounds like a wonderful bunch of people, doesn’t it? It almost sounds too good to be true and, as the saying goes, then it most probably is.

The challenges facing Gen-X are quite daunting. They are typically at a stage in their lives where they need to balance the financial

demands of raising and educating children with a lifestyle seemingly portraying success, whilst rather half-heartedly realising that they also need to provide for “retirement” which, in the case of a 45-year-old, is suddenly only 20 years away.

A recent Old Mutual Savings monitor reveals the following: Gen-X is caught up in an increasing debt spiral; they portray an instant-gratification attitude; have a propensity for keeping up with the Joneses and a yearning for the latest technological devices; they are still repaying bonds and instalments on trendy cars, while some are financially supporting their parents/family (the first wave of people not being able to support themselves in retirement).

These realities and lifestyle obviously make it extremely hard, if not impossible, to save. They struggle to follow the pay yourself first rule, i.e. first subtract your savings from your salary/income. Forty percent actually hope their children will be able to look after them during old age (which somehow conflicts with the statement in the previous paragraph), while 30% believe government will support them. Well, I think we all know the answer to that one.

So, what to do? Well, being passive and staying ignorant certainly isn’t going to help.

There is actually only one answer: draw up your financial plan AND implement it. Fortunately, for most it is not too late. One thing is certain: You must act and act now.

The two main areas to address in your plan (and yes, we are repeating ourselves for the umpteenth time) are: 1. At what age do you want to retire? and 2. How much will you need to retire? These two issues are normally dependant on each other, but need to be looked at separately.

In terms of how much, there are guidelines that have been established over the years, amongst them the “4% rule” (stating that you start by withdrawing 4% of your available capital in the first year of retirement and subsequently increase it annually by the inflation rate); the “10 x annual salary rule” (i.e. gather a capital amount equal to 10 x your final annual salary) or taking “70 – 80% of income” during the year preceding retirement as the required income level in retirement as guideline. Although not absolute, these formulas all assist to determine the capital needed to attain your required retirement income level. Starting with this number, the savings needed to achieve your stated goal at retirement can be readily estimated.

Determining how much and how to get there is best done in consultation with an astute financial planner or portfolio manager.

The most critical step, however, is not to procrastinate, but to actually do it NOW. Retiring without financial peace of mind is hell!

Historic Voëlklip property goes on sale for R35 million A character-filled home, called De Mond House, with a past intertwined with several key figures in Cape history, has come onto the market in Vöelklip.

The historic property is on the market exclusively through Pam Golding Properties, priced at R35 million.

The home traces its history back to the late 18th century, when Hendrik Cloete of Groot Constantia purchased grazing rights in the Hermanus area. In 1790 he built his holiday home there, calling it “Lustplaas”.

Among the regular visitors to the town was James Hamilton-Russell, a prominent member of parliament for the United Party, who purchased the home in 1946 and renamed it ‘De Mond House’.

The house was established as a regular gathering point for his family and friends, including United Party leader De Villiers Graaff. The home has remained in the family’s ownership ever since.

Estate agent Rose-Marie Marais says the historic home has been beautifully restored by the family, and has gleaming wooden floors and open eaves beneath immaculate thatched roofs.

“The walls are over a metre thick, offering coolness in the heat of summer, and cosy warmth in winter,” she says. “The interiors have been upgraded to contemporary living standards, but still maintain a sense of the home’s unique past.”

To view De Mond, or for more information, contact PGP agent Rose-Marie Marais on 028 312 1110 or hermanus@pamgolding.co.za.

This historic Hermanus property has recently come on the market..

’De Mond’ occupies a seafront plot of over 2 300m², with views across Walker Bay and the surrounding mountains.

Nuus News

17 April, 2014

Various studies have been conducted over the last five years to assess the amount of new retail space that would be warranted over the next 10-15 years to satisfy consumer demand in the Greater Hermanus area.

Fernridge Consulting (2009) and Urban Studies (2010) conducted studies on behalf of Retail Africa on the potential of the Whale Coast Mall development, while Douglas Parker Associates was commissioned by the Overstrand Municipality in 2011.

All these studies corroborate the potential of the Retail Africa site for a regional mall, and emphasise the need for stemming the outflow of expenditure from Hermanus over the mountain, and attracting additional expenditure from neighbouring towns.

However, the report by Rode Consult (February 2014), commissioned by the appellants, Hermanus Business Chamber and Zamar Investments (Pty) Ltd. points out that “the impact on the CBD of a competing regional centre in the exact same primary catchment area is not adequately addressed, and no alternatives are critically explored”.

The Rode report points out that according to Douglas Parker Associates’ research, the impact of the mall on the CBD would amount to 43%, while Urban Studies estimates the impact to be between 7% and 12%.

“The variance between the two studies is a concern. Nonetheless, a 7% impact on 394 stores in the CBD means a loss of 28 stores.

Seventeen of the existing national stores in the CBD alone are at risk of a downgrade, but at the minimum the dominant flagship store will be in the mall and the second-biggest will always be at risk. How many of these wil have to leave town to prove that the impact on the CBD is too high? And any decision that will be taken is irreversible.”

According to the Rode report, the well-being of the CBD cannot be guaranteed by the developer and the observation that the impact would be marginal and that “the CBD should not be adversely affected” is cause for concern.

The Rode report states that a host of assumptions have underpinned the approach of the decision-makers and the researchers on

Rode Consult cautions against Hermanus mall whom they rely, which has led to these fatally flawed recommendations and decisions: 1. That a regional mall is required in order for Hermanus to become a regional shopping destination The Rode report states that the preoccupation with a mall as the only typology for retail development that can take Hermanus into the future is a flawed assumption. It is accepted by default as if it is the only urban design vocabulary in existence.

The mall is mainly an American tradition; Europe rather repaired their inner-cities post WW II. Today integrated mixed-use development and “de-malling” is considered to be more socio-economically desirable and sustainable.

2. That the most perfect central location in the town for a decentralised regional mall is the most beneficial means of geographically distributing and delivering retail products to the consumers of or visitors to Hermanus.

The mall site would be in the most beneficial position to maximise consumer spending, and in the worst possible position to minimize the impact on the CBD. The central location will sterilise the future development of another shopping precinct of substantial proportions in future growth areas such as Hawston and Fisherhaven for a number of decades. The CBD will become the shopping precinct of the lower-market segments who are dependent on public transport, without a middle- and higher-income buffer to the precious tourist precinct.

By addressing the undersupply in specific categories in Hermanus, and particularly within the CBD, the entire town can substantially improve its appeal as a regional shopping destination.

3. The CBD must be avoided at all cost because a mall will damage its unique offering “as an attractive tourist destination which will be able to continue to successfully offer small speciality stores and attractive restaurants. This quality may help preserve the CBD as an attractive tourist destination”.

Our assessment is that the location 4 km away is more damaging and risky than the risks of being in the CBD, which is merely

Begrotingvergaderings

Mt Pleasant: tekort aan behuising JANINE VAN DER RIET Sowat 25 inwoners het die Overstrand-munisipaliteit (OM) se konsepbegrotingvergadering Donderdag 10 April in Mount Pleasant bygewoon.

Hier het burgemeester Nicolette Botha-Guthrie die konsepbegroting en die redes vir die styging in tariewe in fyn besonderhede aan inwoners verduidelik.

Inwoners was veral besorg oor die tekort aan behuising in die area en hul kommer is aan die burgemeester en OM-amptenare deurgegee.

Botha-Guthrie en Stephen Müller, direkteur van infrastruktuur en beplanning by die OM, het inwoners gerus gestel oor toekomstige projekte wat reeds op dreef is en ook aangedui waar ekstra behuising voorsien gaan word.

Die beplanningsfase van die twee projekte, waarvan een in Mount Pleasant en een in Swartdamweg, is reeds afgehandel en goedgekeur en gaan aan die einde van April voor die raad dien.

one alternative delivery option.

4. All the research on which the EIA is based, as well as council’s own research

by DPA and the associated conclusions, apply to such a region per se and assumes that only “the mall will provide the variety of retail facilities that are currently not available in Hermanus”, and will stem the outflow of purchasing power.

No targeted research was conducted to obtain a robust quantitative assessment of the impact on the CBD, with a clear, succinct and unambiguous conclusion. This is precisely what lies at the heart of issues such as the precarious balance between the size of the development and the distance from the CBD. 5. The risk of cannibalisation of existing stores in the CBD by the mall is “limited” and that retailers can be held accountable to abide by a proposal that the mall “will only house stores not already established in the CBD, unless the performance of the existing one has reached certain levels which warrants an additional store”.

Sharing an existing local market with a newcomer who is better positioned in all respects could have potentially disastrous socio-economic impacts. Skimming the cream of the middle and upper segments off that market, which is the explicit objective of the mall, will leave the existing CBD terribly exposed.

6. The assessment of the risk is a precarious balance of optimising diverse objectives.

The researchers believe more than 30 000 m² is required to fulfil the promise to curtail outflow to Somerset Mall and to attract new inflow from the surrounding small towns.

The developer asserts that 4 km is far enough from town not to do any harm, but still to attract the middle- and upper-income segment. The proposal maximises the recovery of lost expenditure over the mountain, instead of optimising it with the needs of the CBD. To council, a mall at this point in time may be a very attractive boost to the rates and taxes base. But have the cost benefits been weighed?

7. While the developer may be “an experienced strategic property analyst”, it

does not follow that he “therefore” is an “expert in understanding the umbilical link between a regional mall, the Hermanus town centre and surrounding smaller towns’’ (Draft SDF 2006).

Such a statement speaks of a lack of critical thinking and an intrinsic bias. National developers have no local sentiments.

According to the authorisation, a regional shopping mall will bring jobs to the local community and rates and taxes to the municipality, but the more significant income, rental income and store revenue will be remitted to the domicilium of the landlord and the corporate retailers and will not accrue to the local economy.

The Rode report points out that, on the liability side, three national priorities will be at risk, depending on the impact on the CBD: – existing entrepreneurs, – existing small- and medium-sized busi nesses, and – the jobs they create.

As properties are vacated and precincts deteriorate, rents and rates income will be lost, value will be destroyed and the tax base of the municipality will decrease, the report states.

“Our view is that the mall as proposed will have a substantial negative impact on every part of the CBD that will affect its heart, its genius loci – the sense of place.”

The buzzwords of today are integrated mixed-use development in compact cities, also referred to as de-malling. A mall, the report states, may just be a move in the wrong direction.

“With its multiple arcades and walkways, which form part of the attraction of Hermanus, and the recent Checkers and Woolworths developments linking almost seamlessly to it, Hermanus has the opportunity of extending its magic through the development of various precincts and innovative innercity design.

“If the CBD is not appropriately stimulated to compete for a share in more than the tourist market, it will contract with undesirable effect. This is evident wherever a major peripheral centre has been established. Only, in a special tourist destination like Hermanus, it will be even uglier.”

17 Hermanus resident pens book on aviation memories Hermanus Times

Promosies Promotions

17 April, 2014

FACTA NOSTRA VIVENT - Memories from the South African Air Force Central Flying School 1922-1995: Compiled by Andrew Embleton - is a fascinating compilation, not only for those who are, were or want to be in aviation, but for the pedestrian airplane- and airshow-besotted like I am, who never missed an airshow.

Facta Nostra Viv­ ent is the motto of CFS, and means Our Deeds Shall Live

Of the many highlights in the book are the photos and references to the 55 Harvards from CFS flying in formation for the Harvard Farewell in 1995, remembered by some of the pilots. What an unbelievable sight that must have been.

This book is not an official history, but a compilation of historical information. Says Harvey Tyson (author, columnist and former editor of The Star) on the back flap: “This is a story about the CFS in all its guises from 1922 up to the end of the Harvard era in 1995.

“It covers a brief history of the school, the training methods and the aircraft. It is about the first steps in a military aviation career. It is about ‘pupes’ and their instructors and is told in their own words.

“Here are precious memories, proud moments and hilarious histories. They are recalled mainly by some of South Africa’s magnificent men in their flying machines.

“All these, plus valuable illustrations, have been collected by writer-painter Andrew Embleton from graduates of SA’s famous air force flying school.

“His collage of real, soaring experiences should also lift the hearts of even the most pedestrian of general readers,”

writes Tyson.

The book contains over 300 photographs including colour copies of paintings by Prof Derrick Dickens, Paul Buchel and Darryl Legg.

Also interviews and contributions from early cadets like Judge Cecil Margo and Dr. A.D. Wassenaar and other WWII pilots and instructors. Former Commanding Officers like Col Clements, Brig.Boyle, Col. Tienie van der Kaay, Gen. Ben Vorster, Gen. Crow Stannard remember their time at CFS. Gen. Des Barker and Lt.Col. Ray Houghton remember the Harvard vs Impala story. The story ends with the phasing out of the grand old “Spammy” in 1995.

Available at local bookstores.

WILLIE BOTHA SCULPTURE GALLERY: The Willie Botha Sculpture gallery opened its doors in June 2013 at 171 Main Road in Hermanus.

The gallery forms a part of the Hermanus Art Amble. This follows the in­ ternational trend to have concentrated areas in cities and towns dedicated to the visual arts where art lovers can casually stroll from gallery to gal­ lery. People also like to see the artists in action or at least meet the artists whose work they are buying. That is why Willie Botha decided to use part of his gallery to work on smaller pieces where the public can learn more about the sculpting, as well as the bronze casting process. You can visit the gallery to view their fantastic collection of works by old master painters such as Jan Dingemans, Frans Claerhout, Piet van Heerden, Hen­ nie Niemann, G.W. Pilkington, Chris Tugwell, Alfred Krentz, Dino Para­ vano, Trechikoff, Gregoire Boonzaier and Majory Wallace among others.

Works of Pieter Vermaak and Angela Keys are also on display.

LEMBU GALLERY: Ed Bredenkamp, resi­ dent artist at Lem­ bu Gallery and Studio, recently embarked on a new series of abstract paintings.

Well known for his ‘red elephants’ and other wildlife studies, Ed’s new path was trig­ gered by using a palette knife to lay down a back­ ground of bold colours in prepa­ ration for a com­ mission painting of a black rhino. He soon moved on to create a series of abstracts, merging robust colours and powerful strokes to build a sequence of canvases that are both striking and engaging. In some of the paintings, vague outlines of human figures occupy the foreground, forc­ ing the viewer to consider the context and setting of the painting. Ed’s larger abstracts have already been sold but several of his smaller canvases can now be seen at Lembu Gallery and Studio.

JENNY JACKSON’S GALLERY 19: After spending many hol­ idays in Hermanus, Jenny Jackson moved here permanently 12 years ago and says she is experiencing the best years of her life.

Always a “late bloomer”, Jenny only started painting when she was in her late sixties. Her first solo exhibi­ tion was hosted at the Rossouw Modern in September 2012 and her delightful gallery attached to her home/ studio in High Street opened in December last year.

This restored fisherman’s cottage is filled with light and reflects Jenny’s boundless energy and delight in her work. Her unique technique of using a palette knife to apply thick strokes of paint to canvas encourages a kind of alchemy within the paint, and her works are rounded off with finer touches of charcoal.

ABALONE GALLERY: The Abalone Gallery is showcasing an exhibition called Reflections with works by four prominent female artists – Alta Botha, Lien Botha, Pippa Skotnes and Lynette ten Krooden. Alta is ex­ hibiting her Universe series, which she completed before she started her studies at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town. Lien, whose work is an integral part of Abalone Gallery exhibitions, is showing some of her narrative photog­ raphy, the Amendment series. Pippa, daughter of the late icon in the arts, Cecil Sko­ tnes, and professor at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, is represented with two very special etchings from the 1980s, which are collector’s pieces. Ortrud Mulder has shown many series of Skotnes’ works at museums and institutions overseas before she relocat­ ed to Hermanus. Lynette, a Pretoria­based artist, has some of her smaller works on show, reflecting her research on the old trade routes from Petra in Jordan to Kimberley.

Andrew Embleton at home in Hermanus. He started compiling the book in 1986, then put thoughts of publishing it on hold un­ til three years ago. His father was an early aviator gaining his PPL in 1932 on Gypsey Moths and Andrew himself spent many hours at the Johannesburg Light Plane Club where his father was a committee member. Andrew had flying in his blood but his father had insisted Andrew earn a “proper” living which saw him follow a career in the steel and engineering industry.

Old aircraft and classic racing cars have however remained his passion. His son, Mark, was an SAAF pilot and since 20 years ago an Emirates A380 Captain.

NATURE MATTERS: Tiny member of the elephant family What’s small, furry, related to an elephant and really fast? It’s a Cape Sengi – the world’s fastest small mammal.

Their long noses earned the animal its comparison to elephants and Sengis are also known as elephant shrews. The average adult is around 11,89 cm long. Scientists discovered that despite their diminutive size, they are genetically more closely related to their elephant namesakes than to shrews.

They are also related to the dassie and the aardvark. Sengis eat termites and ants, do not nest like other small mammals, hibernate overnight and have remarkably long bones in their feet, an adaptation to fast running – up to 28 km/h. The Cape Sengi (Elephantulus edwardii) is endemic to South Africa, but how many of us have actually seen one?

Perhaps it went past too quickly.

HIGH-SPEC FIVE-DOOR: TOP VALUE FROM HYUNDAI

New Accent 1.6 hatchback has it all QUICKPIC A very attractive hatchback with an excellent list of specifications that offers real value has been added to the local Hyundai passenger car range. The addition of this five-door Accent has also filled a spot in Hyundai’s range that has long been reserved for it.

Powered by a 1,6 litre petrol engine and available with a choice of a six-speed automatic or a fourspeed automatic gearbox, the Accent hatchback is bound to gain ground quickly in the competitive B-segment of the South African market.

Two derivatives – the 1,6 Fluid manual, with a six-speed gearbox, and the 1,6 Fluid with a four-speed automatic transmission – will be on Hyundai dealers’ showroom floors in South Africa from this week.

Both derivatives get their power from a very economical four-cylinder 1,6 litre Gamma engine which is transverse mounted to drive the compact yet roomy Accent Hatchback through the front wheels.

The petrol-injection engine, with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT), has a displacement of 1 591 cm³ and delivers maximum power of 91 kW at 6 300 r/min. and peak torque of 156 Nm at 4 200 r/ min. Its CO2 emissions were measured at 152 g/km for the manual derivative, and 161 g/km for the Accent Hatchback with the automatic transmission.

A combined fuel consumption figure 6,4 litres/100 km was recorded in the manual Accent Hatchback, while the automatic derivative delivered average fuel consumption of 6,8F/100 km.

When viewed from the front, the

attractive features ofAccent Hatchback resemble those of its sedan sibling with headlamps that curve into the body, and a two-piece black bezel design that adds a touch of high-tech luxury.

The sporty fog lamps, which are standard equipment, blend with the stylish looks of the body shell that reflects Hyundai’s fluid sculpture design language. The hexagonal grille, Hyundai’s family face, has rounded edges which makes the Accent Hatchback look even more modern and stylish. The body coloured outside door handles provide a refined, uninterrupted look.

At the rear the sedan’s spacious boot is replaced with a wide hatch door that reveals an equally roomy luggage area, covered by a parcel tray for security. Rear combination lamps blend with the sides of the Accent Hatchback in a modern, dynamic style, making the Accent look wider.

Large rear reflectors incorporated into the bumper add to the modern style and provide extra safety and visibility. The raised edges of the rear hatch door contribute to the sensual aesthetics and provide better aerodynamics at speed.

The exterior picture is rounded off by attractive alloy wheels with 195/50R16 tyres. The spare wheel, located under the floor of the luggage area, is also a full-size alloy.

Improved gear shift feeling for the manual six-speed transmission, which is regulated with the help of a hydraulically controlled clutch.

The gear ratios are well spaced to provide spirited acceleration with frugal fuel consumption in the overdrive sixth gear.

The four-speed automatic transmission features a flat-type torque converter with a variable line pres-

Improved gear shift feeling for the manual six­speed transmission, which is regulated with the help of a hydrau­ lically controlled clutch.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC sure control disc-type return spring. These innovations ensure reduced gear noise and smooth gear changes.

The suspension provides good ride and handling, with McPherson struts at the front and a coupled torsion beam axle at the rear ensuring comfortable suspension that is still firm enough to provide excellent road holding and articulation, even on rough surfaces. Lateral load compensation springs offer reduced

friction resistance on the struts, improving the ride and optimising the suspension to ensure comfortable driving. The use of springs that are independent of the modified shock absorbers allow more efficient use of the interior space at the rear.

A Motor Drive Power Steering system delivers a sharp response when the steering wheel is turned, with accurate handling. It also makes the Accent Hatchback a car that is easy to manoeuvre and park

in city traffic.

The prices of the two Accent hatchback derivatives are: Accent Hatch 1.6 Fluid (manual) R 234 900 Accent Hatch 1.6 Fluid (auto) R 244 900 Hyundai’s 5 year/150 000 km warranty, 5 year/90 000 km service plan and 5 year/150 000 km roadside assistance is part of the Accent Hatchback package. Service intervals are 15 000 km.

BMW 435i: The alluring weapon FRANS LE ROUX It has been seven long years of waiting since BMW introduced their giant-killing 335i sedan. I remember back in 2007 when I saw the first of what proved to be a big step (in the right direction) for the German manufacturer.

She was parked outside a grocery store.

She was white, adorned with the M-Sport pack and boasted a beautiful set of twin exhausts. Walking around her in the parking lot certainly could not have prepared me for what I experienced with the mind-blowing new 4-series Coupe seven years later.

BMW has since decided to drop one of the two turbos, which helped the first 335i to the admirable power figures of 225 kW/400 Nm. Today however, the power stays the same, even while using only one turbo. But what about turbo-lag I hear you say? Well thanks to TwinScroll technology, there is simply put, no lag at all. What happens is they use one turbocharger driven through two exhaust pipes. As it does with two smaller turbochargers this double charging causes a quicker build-up of pressure and thus more direct engine response. You now save weight while the TwinScroll system aids fuel economy as well.

Let’s get started with the car itself: after some begging and pleading, I picked up a brand-new BMW 435i from Paarlberg BMW. The fuel tank was full, I had two days, needless to say had a smile wrapped right around my head.

Some interesting additions to an already punchy engine were made by BMW, specifically for this 435i. Firstly, and in my opinion the best upgrade one can ever do to this brilliant straight six engine, is to fit an performance exhaust system. And not just any backyard stainless steel drain pipe that makes a noise, but a hand crafted, carbon fibre tipped, aural masterpiece made by a Slovenian company called Akrapovic. This exhaust system not only looks spectacular in matte black but sounds absolutely beautiful throughout the rev range. This aural splendour emitting from the rear of your 435i comes at a hefty price tag, R55 000. Certainly not cheap, but it does add about 10 kW of power. The second performance upgrade is a computer chip that adds more power (roughly 20 kW) and it’s made by BMW specialist tuners AC Schnitzer. All sounds pretty intimidating, but it all translates into a blisteringly quick Coupé with about 255 kW/480 Nm. I probably also need to explain why there is suddenly a 4-Series in BMW’s line up. Well, they have dropped their 3-Series Coupé and renamed it 4-Series. All of BMW’s even numbers (2,4,6) will be available in Coupé shape.

The styling of this new 4-Series is simply gorgeous. You can choose between two- fourcylinder models as well (420i and 428i) which both use the same 2,0 engine. With a hunkered down stance, widened waist-line, blackened, flared nostrils and an aggressive

front fascia, the 4-Series looks purposeful and intimidating. Those attractive multispoke 19-inch wheels add to the sporty appeal.

Take a seat and you’re greeted by a redesigned new dashboard and centre console.

Quality leather and other plastics are scattered around a snug cabin. The 435i had the Sport Line package fitted, which featured red matte inserts and a matching key. Electronic sport seats offer ample bolstering in all the right areas, while finding your perfect driving position takes only seconds. A well-proportioned leather-clad steering fits tightly between your fingers. The large multimedia display screen features everything your heart desires: you can access your music, mobile-phone and even Satellite Navigation from the newly redeveloped system.

The most important aspect of this 4-Series however, is how it feels to drive.

This is my third year of testing cars, and nowhere along the way have I tested anything that accelerates quite as fast. The standard 435i catapults from 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, while it quickly runs out of puff at 250 km/h (electronically limited). These figures are only half the story. Thanks to four different driving modes, the 4-Series can transform itself from a luxurious highway cruiser into a brawling mountain-pass racer in the blink of an eye. While driving, select Sport or Sport+ mode, shift the gear-lever to left and hold on for dear life. Sport+ mode is slightly more tricky because it removes some of the traction control settings. I would suggest that a novice driver stick to Sport mode. If selected, it adapts the suspension, adjusts the sport steering and maximises the cars ability in all round conditions.

The 435i leaps forward when you stomp on the accelerator. In-gear acceleration is savage and your body gets pushed back deep into your seat. Along with the burp and crackle emitted from the exhausts, every sense of your body is enticed.

In Sport+ mode the perfectly balanced 435i corners flat with almost no body roll at all.

It s thanks to its superb balance, incredible grip and a taut chassis that the BMW inspires such confidence.

Fuel economy is always an important factor, and thanks to a butter- smooth dualclutch 8-speed automatic gearbox, overall combined consumption was around 9,5 litres/100 km.

At R704 200 it is certainly not a bargain buy.

But take into account that its two main German rivals, the Mercedes Benz C350 Coupé and the Audi S5 Coupé, cost more or less the same. As tested here it retails for R812 700 (standard Sportline 435i R704 200). Thanks to BMW’s 5 year/100 000km maintenance plan, you can enjoy trouble free motoring for years to come.

The 4-Series then is a truly special car. If it’s exclusivity and style matched with breathtaking performance and dynamism you’re after, there is only one choice and I would pick the 435i every single time.

34 Hermanus Times DOGS results

Geklassifiseerd Classifieds

17 April, 2014

Individual Stableford log played in Kleinmond on 15 April.

The DOGS said a sad, collective goodbye to “M” on Tuesday. RIP and “Howay the Lads”.

On the golfing front, the Ex-Poledancer did it yet again and further increased his lead at the top of the log. The Currie Cup though, is not won in April and there is still time for him to fall off his pole.

Die A-span wen 32 - 20, met vyf bonuspunte.

Die B-span wen 19 - 10.

Atlantic A t. Montagu A Atlantic het van af die afskop met die bal begin hardloop en Montagu onder druk geplaas en in die warm weer aanvalle geloods. Die agterlyn was briljant. Rustyd was reeds 20 – 6.

Evan Visser het 22 punte aangeteken. Die puntemakers was Visser met twee drieë, drie doelskoppe en twee strafskoppe. Roderick Geswind en Jerome Julies het elk een drie gedruk. Soos die A-span Saterdag vertoon het, gaan baie spanne hulle vorentoe nie klop nie.

Geluk aan die A-span met die oorwinning.

Atlantic B t. Montagu B Die B-span het grondslag vir die A-span gelé en het met elke bal in die warm son gehardloop.

Ditwasmooiomtesienhoevoorenagterspelers met die bal gehardloop het.

Almal hoop hulle behou hul goeie vorm.

Fusion/Eat and Tipples are league champions On Sunday HIK Allstars played Video & TV Clinic in the Bowls Final. The HIK team managed a competitive 73 runs in 10 overs, but the Video & TV Clinic team struggled to read the pace and behaviour of the pitch. The bowling by the Abalone staff was tight and they won the Bowl competition by 13 runs.

Top Plan took on the Roaring 40s in the next match. Top Plan started well, but then the support batsman found it hard to score off the clever bowling of the Roaring 40s team.

Top Plan set up a target of 78 runs.

Ex-provincial player and star of the Roaring 40s team John du Plessis made light work of the total and he and his side passed it with three overs to spare.

After some drama on Saturday with the semi-finals of the Over 35’s competition, it was Tipples and Hermanus Oldies who took each other on.

This match was played over 16 overs and Tipples paced themselves cleverly, keeping wickets in hand so that they could give it their all in the last couple of overs.

The Hermanus Oldies skippered

by Chris Goatley had to score 118 runs in 16 overs. The pitch was dry and most teams knew more or less what a winning total would be. The target was high, but not too high for the Oldies to chase.

Their opening batsman started off well but wickets tumbled and the scoreboard put pressure on the Oldies.

A last-wicket stand by Niels Verburg gave them a chance, but they lost by five runs. The final was played between the Fusion/Eat team and Table Tigers.

Table Tigers, enjoying their second final in 12 years, batted first and scored 86 runs in 16 overs.

All the Table Tigers players chipped in with valuable runs.

The Fusion/Eat team had the perfect start as the openers provided a solid platform.

Wickets began to fall and some batsman found it difficult to score, but kept the scoreboard ticking over and finally emerged as champions for 2013/2014.

With a few catches put down, the Fusion/Eat team strolled across the line in what was a successful finals day for them.

The league thanks Pennypinchers and Dean White for making the tournament such a huge hit on the Hermanus social calendar.

The league now boasts over 400 participants and over 16 000 runs scored in tournaments, which is surely some sort of record. –JANHENDRIK KOEGELENBERG

The Fusion/Eat team was victorious as the twelfth yearly leg of the Pennypinchers Business League came to an end over last weekend.

Dit was baie moeilik om ’n wenner te kies vir Maartmaand se Supersport Let’s Play kompetisie omdat twee genomineerdes kop-aan-kop was met hul lys prestasies.

Die beoordelaars het besluit om albei meisies as die Maart-wenners te kies.

Nadia is 13 jaar oud en ’n graad 7-leerder. Sy speel vir die o.13 netbalspan en ook vir die laer- en hoërskool se eerste tennisspanne.

Sy is opgeneem in die Suid-Boland tennisspan. Sy het ook die Boland gholfspan gehaal wat van 20 tot 24 Maart in OosLonden aan ’n toernooi deelgeneem het.

Al nege provinsies het deelgeneem en sy het eerste geëindig in die meisies-afdeling en tweede in die algemene toernooi.

Nicola, ook 13 jaar oud, speel in die Bolandse o. 13 A-tennisspan.

Einde Februarie het sy die SATA WPtoernooi in Rondebosch gewen. Einde Maart is sy gekies om aan die SA laerskole tennisweek in Bloemfontein deel te neem.

Sy is ook Laerskool Hermanus se nommer een meisiestennisspeler.

Nicola is in die o.13 A-hokkiespan en is gekies om aan die Boland hokkieproewe, en ook die semi-finale Boland hokkieproewe deel te neem.

In atletiek het sy ’n 5de plek behaal in die meisies o. 13 800 m en 1 500 m by die Walkerbaai-byeenkoms.

Beide spelers het ’n geskenkpak van Supersport Let’s Play ontvang.
