HERMANUS VAC 2013: GOEDKOPER AS PLETT RAGE

Matrieks terug in Hermanus HEDDA MITTNER “Dis great om die matrieks terug te hê.

Daar was ’n lekker vibe in die dorp, die jongklomp het hulle goed gedra en hulle het heelwat geld ingebring.”

Dit is die mening van Ramon Celliers, bestuurder van Cocos, en talle ander besigheidseienaars met wie Hermanus Times hierdie week gesels het, nadat honderde matrieks sedert die naweek op die dorp toegesak het om die einde van hul skoolloopbaan te vier.

Daar is hierdie jaar vir die eerste keer ’n

Hermanus Vac 2013 gereël deur ’n plaaslike inwoner, Alan de Kock, om matrieks terug te lok na Hermanus, wat in vroeër jare ’n gewilde bestemming vir matriekjolyt was.

Maar die inwoners was nie altyd so gelukkig oor die insidente van vandalisme en rusverstoring nie. Die owerhede is onder druk geplaas om strenger op te tree en die matrieks het groener weivelde gaan soek.

Plettenbergbaai is die afgelope paar jaar ’n gewilde keuse, en na wat verneem word is ’n groot aantal matrieks van Hoërskool Hermanus ook vanjaar Plett toe.

De Kock en sy vriendin Jasmine Lane het

Pottie Potgieter

besluit om die Hermanus Vac te reël omdat daar nie voorheen georganiseerde aktiwiteite vir die matrieks was nie en daar nie kontrole was nie. Hy wou ook goeie waarde bied teen slegs R350 per persoon vir ’n weeklange pas (of R250 vir die Early Birds), in vergelyking met die Plett Rage wat meer as R1 000 kos.

“Dan moet jy nog jou petrolgeld, kos en akkommodasie ook bytel,” sê De Kock.

Sowat 120 matrieks het by die Onrus-woonwapark oor die naweek gekamp. Volgens Rhyn Potgieter, bestuurder van die kamp, bly die meeste nog aan tot die einde van die week. ’n Groep matrieks van Boland-landbou-

Christine Hunt

skool sê hulle dink die Hermanus Vac is great, want “mens weet nie altyd wat aangaan of waarnatoe jy moet gaan nie. Nou is alles georganiseerd en ons weet waar ons kan kuier.” ’n Groep meisies van Hoërskool Montana in Worcester sê Plett is te ver en te duur.

“Hier geniet ons die markies, die strande en die kuierplekke soos Cocos en Shimmis waar mens lekker kan dans. Die tuk-tuk is ook gerieflik en bied ons ’n spesiale tarief aan.”

Hulle geniet dit om te kampeer, sê die jongklomp, maar ongelukkig was hulle ook die slagoffers van diefstal in die Onrus-woonwapark.

Jake Wootton saak: ‘Ek kon die alkohol aan sy asem ruik’ RAYMOND WILLEMSE Nadat ’n man van Hermanus ’n jongman met sy voertuig gestamp het, het hy gesê: “Kyk na die skade aan my motor.”

Só het Bradley Cacela Maandag in die Strand-streekhof getuig oor die gebeure van 4 April 2012 in Hermanus toe ’n motor sy vriend Jake Wootton (18) getref het.

Wootton, ’n oud-hoofseun van die Hoërskool Milnerton, is drie dae ná die ongeluk breindood verklaar.

Schalk Lubbe (25) van Hermanus staan tereg op aanklagte van strafbare manslag en dronkbestuur.

Cacela het getuig hy het Lubbe ná die stelling voor die bors gegryp. “Ek het aggressief en kwaad geword. Hy (Lubbe) het nie eens berou getoon óf gevra hoe dit met Jake gaan nie.” Nóg twee vriende van Wootton, Jamie Forknall en Daniel Stockell, het ook gister oor die gebeure daardie aand getuig.

Volgens Cacela het hulle agt vriende daardie aand eers by Cocos en daarna by Barney’s gaan “shots” drink. Hulle het daarna na ’n vriendin se huis op die dorp gestap.

Cacela, Wootton en Forknall het in Dirkie Uysstraat in die baan vir aankomende verkeer gestap. “Ek het tussen die stormwatervoor en die pad gestap. Jake het in die voor gestap en Jamie het in die laaisone (’n inham langs die pad waar mense op- en afgelaai kan word) gestap.”

Hy het omgekyk en ’n motor agter hulle gesien. “Ek het die enjin se geluid gehoor. Ek het nie die toeter gehoor nie.” Cacela het gesê die motor het tussen hom en Jake deurgery.

“Ek het meer na die middelste baan, weg van die voertuig beweeg. Toe sien ek hoe die motor vir Jake van agter tref dat hy twee keer

in die lug tol.

“Ek het na hom gehardloop. Daar het bloed by sy mond uitgekom en sy tande was gebreek. Die eerste ding wat Lubbe gesê het, was dat hy nie dronk is nie.

“Ek kon die alkohol aan sy asem ruik.”

Op ’n vraag van streeklanddros Franceline Mouton oor sy eie toestand daardie aand, het Cacela gesê hy, en sy vriende, was “taamlik nugter”.

Cacela het getuig dat hulle die polisie gebel het, maar dat niemand na die ongelukstoneel gekom het nie.

“Toe ons die polisie by die hospitaal vra of hulle die bestuurder se bloed gaan toets, het hulle gesê dis nie Kaapstad nie, dit is Hermanus.”

Hy het gehou by sy weergawe van die verloop van gebeure toe Lubbe se regsverteenwoordiger dit aan hom gestel het dat sy getuienis nie met ander getuies se verklarings strook nie.

Cacela het ook emosioneel geraak toe hy deur die staatsaanklaer, Nazlee Abdeljaoued, gevra is wat die impak van Wootton se dood op hom was.

“Dit het ’n impak gehad. Ons was saam in matriek... Daar was tye dat ek nie eens skool toe wou gaan nie,” het Cacela getuig.

Tydens Forknall se getuienis het Lubbe se regsverteenwoordigers dit aan hóm gestel dat sy getuienis nie met sy beëdigde verklaring strook nie.

Daar is verskille oor die alkohol wat hy daardie aand gedrink het, waar presies Wootton en die ander gestap het, en of hy die toeter gehoor het.

Die saak is Dinsdag voortgesit en is uitgestel tot 7 April 2014. Lubbe is uit op waarskuwing.

Twee gevang na ATM-bedrog JANINE VAN DER RIET Twee verdagtes is die naweek in hegtenis geneem nadat drie persone die afgelope twee weke deur kitsbankbedrog besteel is. ’n Bejaarde man in ’n rolstoel is voorverlede Sondagmiddag deur die verdagtes van R4 000 beroof terwyl ’n 96-jarige man die week voor dié voorval ook deur die boosdoeners geteiken is.

Die derde geval was ook by Gateway-sen-

trum, waar die verdagtes niksvermoedende bankkliënte wat nie hulp benodig het nie glo “probeer help”, en in die proses hulle bankkaarte gekloon of gesteel het.

Gerald Cloete, hoof van sekuriteit by Gateway-sentrum, is die man wie se bankkaart daar gesteel is. Cloete het die twee verdagtes agterna gesit en die polisie laat weet.

Die verdagtes het tot by die Checkers-sentrum gejaag, waar die polisie hulle voorgekeer het, maar dit was reeds te laat want hulle het intussen van die bewysstukke, soos die gesteelde bankkaart, ontslae geraak.

Die polisie het die twee mans in hegtenis geneem, maar vier uur later is hulle vrygelaat. Die man wie se kaart gesteel is het nie ’n klag by die polisie ingedien nie en die polisie het geen verdere bewyse gehad om die verdagtes in aanhouding te hou nie.

Die slagoffer kon gelukkig daarin slaag om sy kaart te stop voor daar enige geld uit sy rekening getrek is.

Die afgelope jaar is meer as 40 ATM-bedrogsake by die Hermanus-polisie aangemeld, waarvan die meeste by Gateway-sentrum plaasgevind het.

HERMANUS VAC 2013: This large truck has been parked on Grotto beach in front of Dutchies since Monday and provides music every day from 12:00 until 17:00 while the matrics enjoy different activities on the beach. Joke Gonggrijp from Dutchies says it is most unfortunate that she was not informed as she had a party of 40 people for a Christmas lunch on Monday and the noise was very disturbing. “It was impossible to sit outside and we had to keep all the windows closed in this heat. Several people called us to ask if the loud music was coming from the restaurant.” However, she says the organiser of the Hermanus Vac, Alan de Kock, was very accom­ modating and turned the music down. Gonggrijp says she supports the initiative as “it’s a good thing for the town”, but would prefer the truck to be parked a little further down or on another beach like Kammabaai where there are no businesses to disturb. “Please just not right in front of my restaurant!” she said.

The big roadblock on the R43 during last weekend was not to scare off visitors, Larenzo Isaacs, senior superintendent in charge of traffic operations in the Overstrand said on Tuesday.

“The vehicle check points held from Friday 29 November to Sunday 1 December were not aimed at visitors, but at all drivers and vehicle owners alike, and specifically at motorists who have outstanding fines as well as warrants of arrests.

“We would like to encourage motorists to get into the good habit of paying outstanding traffic fines as this will have a positive effect when the AARTO demerit system becomes law in the near future.”

These demerit system administration marks will be captured on the E-Natis system against those with outstanding warrants of arrests who will then not be able to renew their motor vehicle or drivers licenses.

Anyone who suspects that he/she has any outstanding fines can contact the Overstrand Traffic Department on 028 313 8174 to make enquiries and effect the necessary arrangements for payments.

A festive season plan was launched earlier this week and roadblocks and safety measurements will continue in an effort to keep road users in the Overstrand safe, Isaacs said.

Trio of Blue Flags hoisted

Among the many repre­ sentatives from the Over­ strand Municipality envi­ ronmental management department, WESSA and Working for the Coast at the Blue Flag ceremonies were Stephen Müller (direc­ tor: infrastructure and planning); Rudolph Smith (ward councillor), Deputy Mayor Pieter Scholtz, Don Kearney (area manager: Hermanus administration), ward councillor Kari Brice, Karin Coetzee and David Beattie (chairperson of Cliff Path Management Group).

Law Enforcement officers Nelson Kanuna and Fron­ wen Marais hoisting the Blue Flag at Grotto Beach.

CILENE BEKKER It’s the 11th year for Grotto beach, the 7th for Kleinmond beach, and the 5th for Hawston beach.

It is now becoming an annual event to hoist Blue Flags denoting the prestigious status of Overstrand beaches, said deputy mayor Pieter Scholtz at the flag hoisting ceremonies on Friday 29 November.

The three ceremonies may have been short but it was an arduous process to get to this point.

Ted Knott, national coastal projects manager for the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) said the application process by various municipalities starts in May already, followed by an assesment process by national and international juries.

“This is a long process but our real work starts now, to keep the beaches clean and safe.

Members of these juries do unannounced inspections during the Blue Flag season to make sure the requirements for Blue Flag status are met throughout.”

A total of 41 beaches have been awarded Blue Flag status in South Africa this year, along with five marinas, two whale-watching boats – Whale Whisperer (Marine Dynamics in Gansbaai) and Damara, Gaia (Ocean Blue Adventures in Plettenberg Bay) – one commercial boat and one private boat.

To achieve Blue Flag status, 33 main criteria spanning four aspects of coastal management have to be met: water quality, environmental education, information and management, and safety and services. ) The Blue Flag statuses are for these periods: Grotto: 1 December to 31 March 2014.

(Full season).

Hawston and Kleinmond: 15 December to 15 January 2014. (Peak season only, due to the decline of visitors outside peak season.)

Lifeguard duties at Grotto Beach and Klein­ mond beach are under the umbrella of See­ en­Sand lifesaving, while Overstrand Com­ munity lifeguard services does duty on Haw­ ston beach. Kenneth Block (right), area manager for Jive (sponsors), handed over the kit to Henk Esterhuysen from See­en­Sand.

Potgieter meen ons plaaslike inwoners behoort ’n bietjie meer verdraagsaam te wees.

“Mens moet onthou dis 18-jariges wat wil pret hê en ontspan ná ’n stresvolle jaar en eindeksamens. Daar is altyd die moontlikheid van alkoholmisbruik en wangedrag, maar dis gewoonlik net enkeles en kan beheer word.” Hy sê die matrieks het hulle dié jaar oor die algemeen baie goed gedra en dat hy geen klagtes ontvang het nie.

Wetstoepassingbeamptes by Grotto- en Onrusstrand, beaam dat hulle geen probleme gehad het nie. “Die kinders het hulle nogal goed

gedra,” sê wetstoepasser Dimitri Bermedie.

Die bestuurder van Cocos, Ramon Celliers, sê hulle was baie besig oor die naweek, van ontbyt tot laat in die aand. “Ek dink die Hermanus Vac is ’n goeie idee, want enige inisiatief wat besigheid na Hermanus bring is ’n positiewe een. Daar was ’n goeie vibe in die dorp en die jong klomp wat hier was het hulle goed gedra.”

Celliers meen ook mens moet realisties wees en verwag dat sommiges onverantwoordelik gaan optree. Juis daarom moet die inisiatief deur alle rolspelers ondersteun word om

te verseker dat dit goed georganiseer is en dat ’n veilige omgewing geskep word.

“Ek dink nie daar is genoeg fasiliteite nie en ons moet ’n gesamentlike poging aanwend om die matrieks te akkommodeer. Lede van die polisie, verkeersafdeling en wetstoepassing moet sigbaar ontplooi word om ’n ogie te hou oor die matrieks en plaaslike besighede te beskerm.”

De Kock sê hy wil die konsep uitbrei en volgende jaar “groter gaan”.

Tiaan nou ook sy kunsbeen kwyt JANINE VAN DER RIET

’n Saak van diefstal is Woensdagoggend teen ’n administrateur van die Tiaan Boshoff Fonds by die Hermanus polisie geopen nadat Tiaan se kunsbeen, handfiets en tennisrolstoel van hom weggeneem is.

Dis lekker by die see, sê dié klomp meisies van Hoërskool Montana in Worcester, wat Maandag by Onrusstrand ontspan het. Van links is Justine Otto, Elandi Uys, Madelé van der Westhuizen, Kayla Steyn, Charlotte­An­ ne Conradie, Mari Boshoff, Moné Victor en Elna Gerber.

Diefstal bederf matrieks se pret Die matrieks se feesvieringe is nie net hier en daar deur die weer bederf nie, maar ook deur enkele insidente van diefstal. ’n Groep meisies van Hoërskool Montana in Worcester wat in die Onrus-woonwapark kampeer, sê hulle geniet hulle tydjie in Hermanus, maar “dis regtig jammer oor al die diefstal”.

Verskeie items is glo die naweek uit hulle tente in die park gesteel.

Moné Victor sê sy het Sondagnag wakker geword en ’n vreemde man in hul tent gesien met haar handsak in sy arms.

Die indringer het op die vlug geslaan en hulle het Maandagoggend agtergekom dat hul tent met ’n mes oopgesny is en dat haar selfoon weg is. Sy sê dit was te donker om ’n beskrywing van die dief te kan gee.

“Daar is oor die naweek van die ander mense se goed ook gesteel,” sê sy, “soos ’n i-foon, kampeerstoele en toksakke met klere in.”

Hierdie voorvalle het hul pret nogal bederf, sê sy. “As ons in ’n huis was kon ons seker maak alles is toe-

gesluit, maar hoe beveilig jy ’n tent?

Ons is nou bang om in die aand te gaan slaap. Dit maak dat ek nie sommer gou weer hier sal kom kampeer nie.”

Bart Nel van Boland-landbouskool, wat ook saam met vriende in die Onrus-woonwapark kampeer, sê sy Samsung S4 en ’n sak vol klere is ook Sondagnag uit sy tent gesteel.

Die saak is by die polisie aangegee.

Die bestuurder van die kamp, Rhyn Potgieter, sê hy doen sy bes om die kampeerders te beveilig. Die munisipaliteit het ’n kontrak met ADT en daar is pal wagte aan diens, maar Potgieter sê dis moeilik om beheer uit te oefen oor elke voetganger wat in en uit die kamp gaan.

Die wagbestuurder van ADT, Jason Botes, wou nie kommentaar lewer nie, maar hulle is glo besig met ’n ondersoek. Potgieter sê hulle oorweeg dit om volgende jaar ’n stelsel in werking te stel waar elke kampeerder ’n bandjie sal kry om te dra en niemand anders in die kamp toegelaat sal word sonder toestemming nie.

Terwyl die mei­ sies aan hulle sonbruin werk op die strand, pak die manne solank die braaivuurtjie met behulp van ’n bietjie Klippies en Co­ ke. Van links is Dirk Botha, Bart Nel, SJ Roux en Anro Human, almal van Boland­ landbouskool.

Tiaan (14), ’n leerling van Hoërskool Hermanus, is sonder ’n linkerbeen gebore en die misvormde voetjie van sy regterbeen is ná geboorte geamputeer.

Danksy ruim bydraes van goedhartige mense van Hermanus tot in Gauteng, kon die Tiaan Boshoff Fonds genoeg geld insamel om vir hom buiten ’n nuwe handfiets en tennisrolstoel, ook ’n prostese van meer as R100 000 te koop.

Tiaan is ’n uitblinker in handfietswedrenne en het reeds sy WP-kleure verwerf.

Tiaan se pa, Bossie Boshoff, wat ook sy afrigter is, het besef sy seun het ’n beter handfiets nodig om by te hou met die tegnologie, en met die hulp van finansiële bydraes van die Hermanus-gemeenskap kon Bossie onlangs ook die legendariese handfietskampioen Ernst van Dyk se fiets koop.

Die eerste handfiets en tennisrolstoel was ’n geskenk van Schalk Burger Senior, maar die administrateur van die fonds het ’n bedrag uit die Tiaan Boshoff Fonds aan Burger Senior oorbetaal.

Die administrateur word nou van diefstal beskuldig nadat sy na bewering die handfiets en tennisrolstoel in die afgelope jaar, en toe verlede Donderdag ook sy kunsbeen, “gekonfiskeer” het omdat Tiaan, volgens haar, nie meer daarvan gebruik maak nie.

Die Trustfonds wat ongeveer twee jaar gelede by FNB gestig is, het aanvanklik twee administrateurs gehad, die beskuldigde en JC Smit. Smit het intussen weens persoonlike redes onttrek.

“Ek was baie geskok om te hoor dat Tiaan se prostese weggevat is.

Die fondse wat ons ingesamel het, was vir Tiaan alleenlik. Nie vir ander mense of organisasies nie en ek wil baie graag hê dat die been aan hom terugbesorg word voor Kersfees,” het ’n ontstoke Smit gesê.

Die trustdokumente wat by FNB gehou word, stipuleer dat die

Tiaan Boshoff en sy pa Bossie by ’n handfietsresies verlede jaar in George. fonds aangewend moet word om vir Tiaan ’n handfiets en prostese aan te koop, dat daar geen bedrag of tydsbeperking op die fonds is nie en dat daar geen ander voorwaardes van toepassing is nie.

“Tiaan sukkel al vir maande met die nuwe prostese en dit is ’n reuse aanpassing vir hom. Maar die feit dat hy dit nie nou permanent gebruik nie, beteken nie hy gaan oor ’n paar maande nie weer probeer nie,” het Bossie gesê.

Die handfiets en tennisrolstoel is sowat ’n jaar gelede op twee verskillende geleenthede by Tiaan afgeneem.

Die tennisrolstoel, wat hy nie in daardie stadium gebruik het nie, het die administrateur vir ander mense met gestremdhede gegee.

Dieselfde het met die handfiets gebeur.

Tiaan se kunsbeen, wat skenkers meer as R100 000 gekos het, is verlede Donderdag uit sy fisioterapeut se kantoor deur die administrateur verwyder.

“Ek het vir Tiaan afgelaai by die fisioterapeut wat hom gratis behandel,” verduidelik Bossie.

“Tiaan was besig om met ’n onbekende vrou te gesels in ’n vertrek toe die administrateur inhardloop en sy been, wat in ’n ander vertrek was, vat en wegjaag.

“Sy het dieselfde rede gegee as met die verwydering van die fietse: As Tiaan dit nie wil gebruik nie, is daar ander mense wat dit kan benut.”

Maar volgens die bepalings van die trust bly alles wat uit dié fonds aangekoop word, die eiendom van Tiaan.

“Die mense wat geld geskenk het, het dit vir Tiaan geskenk,” sê Bossie. “Nie vir iemand oorkant die berg of iewers anders nie. Baie moeite is gedoen met die fondsinsamelings om genoeg geld bymekaar te maak vir sy benodigdhede.

Die feit dat hy nie dadelik met sy kunsbeen regkom nie, beteken nie dat hy opgee nie en hy sal wel later weer probeer. Hy sukkel net om sonder sy krukke, waaraan hy sy lewe lank gewoond is, oor die weg te kom.”

Die Hermanus Times het Maandagmiddag vrae oor die bewerings per e-pos aan die administrateur gestuur. Sy het gevra dat die koerant die artikel uitstel met ’n week.

Woensdagoggend het sy ’n brief by die Hermanus Times kantoor kom aflaai wat onder meer sê sy voel dat sy nie genoeg tyd gegee is om te antwoord op die komplekse saak nie en sy vra vir verdere uitstel.

Season se seisoen verby

André van Vuuren (foto), een van die bekendste sjefs in Hermanus, het bevestig dat sy restaurant Season in die Hemel-en-Aarde Village, verkoop is.

“Ek het aan die begin van November besluit om nie my huurkontrak met die eienaar van die gebou te hernieu nie,” sê André.

“Die besigheid is sedertdien verkoop, maar ek behou die naam ‘Season’.”

Volgens André is die restaurantbedryf “’n tawwe besigheid” en het hy en sy vrou Anli, wat ook ’n sjef is, besluit om te fokus op die Hermanus-gholfklub.

Hulle bestuur die restaurant by die klubhuis en sal voortgaan om hier voortreflike disse voor te sit.

“Dit was ’n groot besluit om Season se deure ná vyf jaar te sluit,” sê André.

“En ek wil graag baie dankie sê aan al my lojale kliënte wat my deur die jare ondersteun het. Maar nou is dit eers tyd om te konsentreer op die gholfklub en op gesinstyd,” het hy bygevoeg.

By die nuwe At the Village Stall by Hemel­en­Aarde village het Lindi en Antonie Prinsloo ’n verskeidenheid ra­ me gekoop. Sowat 70% van die items te koop is die handewerk van plaaslike ver­ skaffers.

die Onrus­handelspos is ’n nuwe OK­minimark wat verlede week sy deure oopgemaak het. Die winkel is opgeknap en die eienaar, Willem Joubert, en sy span is reg vir die feesseisoen. Voor is Mandy An­ drews, Myra Booysen, Margaret Parsley, Amy Ja­ cobs en Richardine May. Agter, langs Willem, is Francois Harmsen, Steven Murray (winkelbestuur­ der), David Mandoyi (bakker) en Mandy Kees. Wil­ lem besit ook OK­winkels in Barrydale en Paarl.

Hy en sy vrou Esmarie het onlangs kom nes skop in Onrus met hul twee kinders. Hoewel Esmarie nie op die foto is nie, sê Willem sy is die dryfveer agter alles!

Still Cooking for Izibusiso KERRY VAN RENSBURG Platbank mussel soup, Kwaaiwater prawn curry and sesame yoghurt cardamon cake. Recipes for these tempting dishes and desserts, and a whole lot more can be found in the pages of the new Izibusiso cookbook Still Cooking.

The book, with its lovingly shared and collected recipes with cameos of Hermanus introducing each delicious chapter, was launched at The Deli on Wednesday 27 November.

Dr Michele van Niekerk, who has been involved with Izibusiso – a foster home in Zwelihle for babies and toddlers – arranged the

Still Cooking features an insert and a recipe or two for abalone from Abagold. At the launch Christo du Plessis, managing director of Abagold (left) read out a recipe for La Hei – a traditional Chinese dish usually pre­ pared as part of a New Year ritual – while Rudolf van der Berg combined all the ingre­ dients for the guests to enjoy. Each ingredient has symbolic significance, for example the salmon pieces symbolise abundance and ex­ cess throughout the year, carrots symbolise blessings of good luck, shredded cucumber symbolises eternal youth and sesame seeds symbolise a flourishing business.

Still Cooking launch event.

Glenda Furst, the quiet driving force behind Izibusio, says: “The reason we produced this recipe book is simple to explain – we need funds to run the home. Our first recipe book, Hermanus Cooks served us well for almost three years as a major source of income, even going to two reprints.

“When the last copy was sold but the demand for the book continued, we began to ponder about a third reprint, but finally decided that a new book would be a better long-term source of income.”

“We went through a long process of collecting recipes from Hermanus residents, collating these recipes, combining them with articles on Hermanus, and adding appropriate photographs and artwork. What we have managed to create by weaving all these aspects together is , I think, a small but beautiful tapestry which faithfully reflects how we live and eat in Hermanus,” says Glenda.

Still Cooking is available at selected bookstores, hotels and lifestyle shops at a retail selling price of R160.

Joining forces for the well­being of the little children cared for at Izibusiso Foster Home, and an integral part of the launch of Still Cooking are (from left) Glenda Furst, Dr Michele van Niekerk and Rina Louw (manag­ er of Child Welfare Hermanus).

GAME RANGER, extracts from a Game Ranger’s Notebook by Rodney Henwood Here is an opportunity to armchair-snack on wildlife conservation and adventures, delivered in bite-size escapades and incidents of a career that spanned over 30 years.

Tasters include: Harry Tennison (of Coca-Cola fame in the USA) being approached by the Natal Parks Board (NPB) in 1983 to export a breeding group of endangered black rhino.

Rodney Henwood was the man in charge of this mission.

It’s fascinating reading – catching the group of five rhinos, preparing them for travel, transporting them to Johannesburg, loading them onto the plane and then the trip itself. The journey from Umfolozi to the ranches in Texas took 4½ days and culminated with Henwood on a celebratory over-the-border to Mexico tequila outing.

In another, he is tasked with transporting animals to the Karoo game farms of Dr Chris Barnard and author Wilbur Smith.

Henwood now lives in Hermanus but spent his formative years in the Eastern Cape where as a learner at Dale College, he realised scholastics was not his forté.

He started his career in the early 70s as a section ranger in the Mkuzi Game Reserve with his wife, Barbara, and their two children. His final posting was that of Warden of Game Capture. Henwood had in his

heyday caught as many as 17 white rhino in a day, and also pioneered a capture method for giraffes that is still standard practice today.

With some melancholy, he says in the conclusion that his bush career was at a time when “everyone was passionate about their work and would happily work a 24hour day with little or no encouragement if it meant saving a single animal’s life.”

It is clear that Henwood knew his trade, and loved it. After he resigned from the NPB he was still often approached to assist in game-related escapades, one of which was to help source and capture numerous species of African game for a park in mainland China.

This was a huge operation, involving a Singapore Airlines Boeing 747400F ‘mega ark’, 14 lowbed trucks, and ultimately 43 army trucks filled with wild animals traversing roads and passes in a country where not much English was spoken.

This is a hands-on read, written with dry and wry wit. It is highly informative, educational, entertaining and easy to read with B/W photos throughout.

Hermanus Art Circle presents exhibition at new gallery The Hermanus Art Circle celebrates its 10th birthday – and its new name – with an exhibition that opens at their new gallery in Village Square on Friday 13 December at 17:30 for 18:00.

Secretary Annette Solomon says they decided to change their name from Vermont Art Circle to Hermanus Art Circle because their members are no longer primarily from Vermont. The Vermont Art Circle was established in 2003 by a group of enthusiastic local artists, many of whom had been members of the Hermanus Art Society, which operated from the Old Station Gallery.

Two years ago they opened The Little Gal-

lery in the Eastcliff Village Centre before moving to their present gallery on the first floor of Village Square (behind Ocean Basket) in June this year.

The group has grown from a modest six artists in 2003 to a membership of over 20.

Throughout the years they have held annual exhibitions and members’ competitions, as well as several workshops, art courses and visits to established artists’ studios. They also meet regularly for coffee morning crits and DVD afternoons.

There are many treats in store for guests at their birthday exhibition, says Solomon.

“Wine and snacks will be served, we’ll have

olive tasting, a raffle for a Mother and Child sculpture in support of Child Welfare and a Bid and Buy auction.”

At a Bid and Buy exhibition each artist is assigned a letter (e.g. A, B, C) and each of his/ her paintings is numbered A1, A2, A3, etc. Envelopes are marked A, B, C, etc and when an interested buyer wants to bid on an artwork he/she fills in a form (name and contact details of buyer, bid amount, name of artist and number of painting), which is then placed in the relevant envelop. On the closing day of the auction, 20 December, each artist decides if the bid is acceptable.”

The gallery is open from 10:00 to 16:00 daily.

Local artist Carol Carver, one of the members of the Hermanus Art Circle who will be tak­ ing part in their upcoming exhibition.

Briewe Letters

Slawerny nog met ons Ek is namens ’n paar huiswerkers van Stanford gevra om hul frustrasies aan u oor te dra omdat hul nie e-posse of selfs fone het nie.

Laasweek het Suid-Afrika 100 jaar gevier sedert afskaffing van slawerny.

Slawerny is nog baie lewendig in Hermanus.

Baie van ons ry dag in en dag uit, winter en somer, om by ons werk te kom en word ook uitgelewer aan die taxi’s se nukke en giere. Voorbeelde van die uitbuiting is: werkers werk twee dae by een werkgewer, en een-een by twee ander sodat hul nie permanente voordele soos siekverlof, vakansie, en werkloosheidvoordele kry nie, want die wet sê so. Baie van die werkgewers buit die wet uit om hulself te verontskuldig om ’n paar rand te spaar. Wat ons weet is dat God nie blind is nie.

Baie van die werkgewers gee wel sulke voordele al werk jy net een dag per week. Ons het al baie gevalle gehad waar getroue werkers van Stanford na Hermanus reis om voor ’n toe deur te kom aangesien die werkgewer met vakansie is, oorsee of wildtuin toe is sonder om die werker in te lig. Boonop sit die huishulp sonder inkomste vir twee tot vier weke.

Verder is daar van die slawedrywers wat hul werkers verskree en beledig. Ook is sommige so suinig dat hul nie ’n sny brood en ’n eier sal aanbied nie. Tee of koffie is totaal buite die kwessie.

Ons werkers praat baie oor ons base, en sommige het net die bestes gekry met ’n oop hand en ’n Christelike hart. Ons moedig ook ons mense aan om nie vir die uitbuiters te werk nie, want ons weet wie diegene is.

Dis hoekom die ordentlikes se werkers lang jare by hul bly terwyl die ongeskiktes kortkort ander moet kry en dan ook nie altyd die bestes nie.

Miskien sal sommige werkgewers hul houding verander, maar baie se menslikheid is nou al so verrot dat dit te laat is.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Share the gift In just over two weeks’ time it will be Christmas, a season of joy and goodwill to all men.

However, it is certainly not a season of joy for everyone, with some people finding the loneliness of everyday life amplified by the season’s exhortations to “be merry”. Some of these people will find the season unbearable and, as has been reported before, the suicide rate will unfortunately go up.

Christmas is a time of joy, yes, but also a time of deep and penetrating loneliness for some.

Those of us who have the gift of comfort, company and happiness at this time should see how we can spread this gift around. Is there someone you know who does not have a Christmas lunch to go to? Invite them to yours.

Is there a family member you know you need to get in touch with? Do it now.

Christmas is not only about the baubles and the ribbons, but about the heart. Share what you have, and feel that special part of Christmas once again.

‘Concerned Resident is confused resident’ I thank “Concerned Resident” for the prompt reply to my letter. I do not understand the reasoning in the first two paragraphs though. What is certain, is that Concerned Resident does not understand the Constitution.

With the first free and fair elections in South Africa, the ANC used the principles of the Reconstruction and Development Plan (RDP) as their election manifesto.

With the acceptance of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa by the Constitutional Assembly on 8 May 1996, South Africa had, as recognised by the Western World, the most comprehensive and advanced Constitution in the world.

But with a Constitution must come legislation to give effect to it, for eg: Promotion of Administrative Justice Act; Intellectual Property Act; Rental Housing Act; Promotion of Access to Information Act. Now to the Housing Act (Act 107 of 1997): Within this Act all South African citizens are guaranteed the right to free housing by means of a once-off grant under certain conditions. I will name a few.

1. The applicant must be a South African citizen 2. The applicant must have dependants 3. The combined family income must be less than R3 500.00 per month 4. The applicant must be a first time home owner

What to do about the blaring music at Blue Flag Grotto?

You may not be aware that yesterday, at mid day, opposite Dutchies, an appallingly loud sound of music emanated from an enormous truck. This continued until 17:00.

The new owners of Dutchies spent hours trying to get through to somebody responsible at the council offices, but to no effect. There was a Christmas party at Dutchies for 40 people. They had to sit inside the restaurant with all the doors and windows closed as the noise was intolerable. It was impossible for anyone to carry on a conversation. People sitting outside left and the loss of business to the owners was unacceptable, particularly as they pay rent to the council. As a resident, and frequent customer of Dutchies, I am no longer able to patronise the restaurant with such noise. Also the truck obstructs part of the view of the sea. One visits Dutchies for the beauty, peace and tranquillity and not to be blasted by loud thumping sounds. In fact the Blue Flag status of Grotto Beach is compromised as it is contrary to the European Standards of Control.

I do hope that you do not mind my troubling you on this matter and I trust that you will be able to ensure that noise pollution is not allowed anywhere in Hermanus.

A few months ago, close to the Burgundy Restaurant, the noise coming from a marquee was absolutely shocking. The owners were not able to obtain any assistance from the council to have the loudness of the thumping music reduced and they lost business.

This application is open to all races that qualify. Gansbaai housing development is a perfect example of an inclusive housing project where all race groups benefited.

The Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) is exactly what it says – a grant to a municipality. The municipality must in their three-year planning identify MIG projects and apply to National Government; obviously if they do not plan or apply for this grant they will not receive it.

I consider it a case of bad planning if they did not plan for it with all the data available to them.

Trevor Manuel’s National Development Plan (NDP) that was accepted and lauded by all political parties in parliament must go the same way. For it to work legislation must be put in place by Government and Parliament.

Regarding Concerned Resident’s remark on the Eastern Cape, I have the following observation: I am certain Government will be very thankful if Concerned Resident can advise them on how to realise the “massive economic growth potential” in the Eastern Cape. Furthermore, I am certain that Trevor Manuel will most certainly want to have Concerned Resident as a Special Advisor in his office.

Visitor expresses concern at treatment in frail-care facility I was deeply shocked when we visited our cousin in this “frail-care hospital”. The care given to the dementia patients was good.

We were told that to fill the place they also have place for a few general patients. We spoke to one well preserved but elderly gentleman (war veteran). He was confused after being treated with strong antibiotics. The doctor told him he would only be there for a few days.

It seems he has been there for several weeks and he seemed depressed and also frightened.

There is a dementia patient there who had a fight with another patient. This poor man is now in hospital and has to have a hip replacement. We spoke to a legal expert who said it was against the law to keep a normal patient (one who does not have Alzheimer’s) at this hospital.

The doctor said the pneumonia (of the veteran) was cured. He was, however, too busy but would try and go to the frail care, and get the patient the help he needed to get out.

JOURNALIST ON CALL THIS WEEKEND

Janine vd Riet 082 885 0226

I have to go back to the UK and nobody seems to have time to help this man. He fought in World War II and was allowed to go to the parade recently. Big deal. Is that how you treat people who were willing to die? He says he cannot stand this place. He calls it a prison.

Shame on Hermanus, and sympathy for poor healthy patients who cannot get out.

The visit to my cousin later left me with concern for my cousin and patients who do not have serious health problems. Nobody cares.

He says he likes his lawyer who has power of attorney to pay this prison R7 000 a month.

I hope his legal advisor reads this, but he is too busy and has not been to visit him. Shame on this “frail care” hospital and all who have made an intelligent man like this give up.

with breathing difficulties. He is being medicated not with antibiotics but with Warfarin, Lasix and vitamins. He has previously asked the writer to be allowed to return home. I told him it was the opinion of two medical doctors, a non-medical doctor and a social worker that he should not return to his flat as he is incapable of looking after himself. Furthermore, the flat is unhygienic, but I told him he was free to go at any time provided he sign a self-discharge note. He chose not to do that and remains here of his own free will. The probable instigator, if not writer, of the letter has also been in my office to seek the release of the man and has been told the same facts. There are many inaccuracies in the letter, but one we cannot pass is the allegation that it is illegal to care for sufferers from Alzheimer’s disease together with non-sufferers of the disease. That is not true.

In conclusion, we invite readers to visit Sofca at any time to see the professional care and respect that all our residents receive.

A home is more than a house, lets not wait for the next crisis. “Do to others as u wish them to do to u.” There are homes with little or no food, clothes, help, until a crisis comes again – maybe your next door neighbour. ) Congrats on Fisherhaven’s new name.

Op 27 November toe ons Hermanus-polisiekantoor skakel om te hoor of hulle asseblief ’n voertuig na ons perseel kan stuur en ’n plan maak met die vingerafdrukke ens. is daar gesê daar is net twee voertuie beskikbaar wat reeds op ander tonele besig is.

Maar op 28 November om 10:00 stop daar ’n polisiewa in die industriële area en twee polisielede klim uit met ’n televisie vir die televisietegnikus om na te gaan.

So hulle televisie is belangriker as my goed wat gesteel is? Is dit belangriker as die diewe wat op straat rondloop met my goed?

Hoe werk dit dan?

Die vingerafdruk-department het eers teen Vrydagmiddag 29 November by ons aangekom.

The management of Hermanus Police have taken note of the allegations concerning members using state vehicles for private use.

Hermanus groet veteraan motorman, oom Danie PIET HAUMANN Danie Loubser, jarelange inwoner van Hermanus en stigterslid van die jaarlikse Whales & Wheels klassieke motorskou, is in die vroëe oggendure van 2 Desember in die ouderdom van 89 in die Stellenbosch Mediclinic oorlede.

Danie het vroeër vanjaar ’n beroerte gehad en ná sy ontslag van die Hermanus-hospitaal, het hy en sy vrou Joan (81), wat self aangesterk het ná ’n operasie, hul intrek by Sofca geneem.

Hulle is sowat ’n maand gelede oorgeplaas na die Geluksoord-aftreesentrum in Stellenbosch, waar Danie op 29 November ’n ernstige terugslag gehad het en opgeneem is in die Mediclinic. Oom Danie, soos hy aan almal bekend was, was ’n merkwaardige kenner van ou motors en het sy unieke kennis en talent aangewend om klassieke, veteraan en antieke motors te res-

toureer. As mens hom net die geringste beskrywing van ’n ou voertuig sou gee, kon hy vir jou die maak, model en jaartal verstrek en in besonderheid daaroor begin gesels.

Danie het altyd ’n oor gehad vir ander se probleme en het dadelik sy werk opsy gesit om iemand anders te help. Daar pryk baie motors regoor die land wat deur Danie gerestoureer is. Sy pynlike deeglikheid sal deur almal wat hom geken het met groot respek en waardering onthou word.

Danie (Daniël Teubus) Loubser was ’n boorling van Vredenburg. Hy het aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch studeer en die graad BA Tale verwerf asook die destydse senior onderwysdiploma. Daarna het hy hom by die familie motorhandel besigheid, Loubser Broers en Seun, wat in 1913 in Vredenburg gevestig is, aangesluit, en later oorgeneem.

Gedurende 1986 het Danie met sy eggenote Joan (neé Roux), ’n boorling van Hermanus, na haar geboortedorp verhuis. Hulle het hulle intrek geneem in Joan se familiehuis in Luytstraat, Eastcliff. Hier het Danie oor die jare ’n pragtige museum gevestig wat onder meer modelle van veteraan voertuie, ou gereedskap, memorabilia en lektuur ingesluit het.

Gedurende 1998 het Danie, in samewerking met Tor Bovim en Alan Johnson (van die gewilde TV-program Drive Time-faam), die Hermanus Whales ’n Wheels Veteraan en Klassieke Motorskou tot stand gebring.

Oom Danie word oorleef deur sy eggenote Joan, drie seuns Johan, Ian en Danté, dogter Esterna en vier kleinkinders. ’n Gedenkdiens sal Donderdag 12 Desember om 11:00 in die NG gemeente Hermanus gehou word.

Somer, son en strand Hy wil nie sy lyf weerprofeet hou nie, sê Willa Venter van Voëlklip, “maar hoor wat ek vir julle sê; ons gaan ’n jollie vakansietyd tegemoet. Nie met glasies, musiek en lawaai nie maar met heerlike sonskyn, soos mens die Overstrand op sy beste ken.”

En as daar ’n prys vir die beste weervoorspelling vir die vakansie is, vat Willa die koek, sê oom Langfaan toe ’n paar manne Maandag by Weerhaan inloer.

Weerhaan sien ook net mooi dae vorentoe. Ons kan dit sien aan die stabiliteit in die bolug. Die wes-noordwes wat soos reënweer wil lyk maar te erg deur lugstrome uit die weste gepla word, asook die lugdruk, is die sedert Dinsdagaand tipiese voorlopers van Overstrandse mooiweerdae vorentoe. Die wolke wat padgee en die lugdruk is ook net wat almal op die strande sou wou bestel.

Ons weertoring op Hermanusberg lyk of hy vasgesteek het so glad loop sy grafieke en wys eers teen Saterdagaand ’n duik wanneer almal slaap.

Dit beteken dat die noordwes wat oor Worcester kom, ’n bietjie vog uit die ooste optel om omtrent 2 mm oor die Overstrand uit te gooi. Maar teen agtuur is die son weer uit en almal kan afsit hengelwaters toe of die sonsambrele gaan opslaan.

Volgende Vrydag die dertiende Desember, doen die noordwes weer presies dieselfde ding en val daar weer bietjie water.

Langfaan sê op Vrydag die dertiende bly hy anyway in die huis al speel die walvisse op die grasperke rond. Hy steek nie sy neus by die deur

uit nie.

Die grafiek wys dit sal daai dag dalk die hele dag en miskien die hele naweek reën. Jammer dat die vakansiegees so gedemp moet word, sug Langfaan.

Vandag se jongklomp het lankal bygelofies afgeskud as dit by kansie kom. Die blitse kan maar staan maar as die branders reg is, is hulle met hul branderplanke tussen hulle.

Weerhaan se skermpie vertel egter dat die deinings en die stroomrigting nie saamspeel nie. Die branders dryf landwaarts maar met die wind van voor. Vandag (Donderdag) is die deinings nog rondom 4 meter en 14 sekondes uitmekaar wat byna te vinnig is vir die groot deinings om op te bou.

En toe kom Willa met die res van sy voorspelling. Die wind kan Saterdagmiddag begin lol. Dit lyk soos 10 meter per sekonde. Maar dit maak niks aan Sondag se lekker sonskyn nie. Dis net daai naweek van die dertiende dat hy ons deurmekaar gaan waai.

Youth Astronomy Club visits Cape Town

The Sansa team on their way to install the new digital radar at the South African base SANAE IV in Antarctica includes (back from left) Stefan Lotz, Roger van Schie, Gert Lamprecht and Francois Olivier. In Front are Nicky Knox, Cornelia Oberholzer, Jonathan Ward and Catherine Paverd. Also included in the team is Lumka Msibi, who was not available when the photo was taken. The five men and Cornelia are from Hermanus, while the other team members are from Gauteng.

New weather radar system for Antarctica A team of scientists and engineers from the South African National Space Agency (Sansa) is on their way to Antarctica to install a state-of-the-art new High Frequency Digital Radar system at the SA Antarctic research base.

This system, built in Hermanus, forms part of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network, otherwise known as SuperDARN, an international network of over 30 radars used to monitor the dynamics of space weather.

The group left Cape Town on the SA Agulhas II on 28 November for this milestone 53rd expedition.

On arrival in Antarctica, the team will spend six weeks on installation and also perform routine maintenance on other equipment used to monitor the space environment.

While Antarctica may be the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth, it is one of the best locations

to conduct space weather research due to the earth’s magnetic field lines converging at the pole and acting as a funnel for space plasma to travel into the earth’s atmosphere.

Just like police radars that send out beams which reflect from vehicles, the SuperDARN radars measure the position and speed of plasma in the Earth’s ionosphere.

“The new radar will go a long way in contributing to the SuperDARN network as it is one of the most advanced digital radars in the world,” said Dr Lee-Anne McKinnell, managing director of Sansa Space Science in Hermanus.

Monitoring the space environment enables Sansa to deliver a vital service to the nation by providing forecasts and warnings on space weather activity, playing an important role in protecting satellite technology, communication and navigation systems as well as electrical power grids.

Fifteen members of the Hermanus Youth Astronomy and Space Club were taken on a trip to Cape Town

by John Saunders and his wife Irene recently.

“This was the first time any of them had been to Cape Town, so the trip was a huge eye-opener,” says Saunders.

All the club members are learners from Grades 4 to 7 at Lukhanyo Primary School in Zwelhile.

Accompanied by their two science teachers Zukie Ngoloame and Douglas Stuurman, they took the school’s mini-bus and visited the National Science Centre, the Noon Gun on Signal Hill, the Planetarium and lastly the Astronomical Observatory.

“They spent two hours at the Science Centre thoroughly enjoying all the interactive games available along with the space capsule used

by Mark Shuttleworth on his trip into space in 2002.

“They then went up to the top of Signal Hill to see the Noon Gun and witnessed the huge bang as the gun automatically fired at 12:00 noon upon receipt of a signal from the clock at the observatory.”

At the Planetarium they watched The Sky Tonight.

They also attended a tour of the Astronomical Observatory including the library and conference hall where they viewed a Stellarium presentation about the solar sys-

Action plan in motion to curb crime in Vermont More than a hundred residents, service providers and members of the police attended the Vermont Ratepayers’ and Environment Association (VREA) at the public meeting held on 26 November at the De Wet hall in Onrus.

A comprehensive plan to curb the crime rate in Vermont was set in motion with the primary objective being to form a task group to establish a safety and security network before February next year.

Other objectives are: • To inform the people of Vermont on safety and security, by means of the VREA, the Ward 13 committee and the planned network.

• To encourage all security service providers to attend the meetings of the community police forum.

• To support the lobby group seeking to expedite the establishment of a police station in Hawston.

• To strive for the erection of surveillance cameras at strategic locations in Vermont.

• To source statistics on crime in Vermont from the law enforcement authorities.

• To have alien vegetation in the area removed, with the assistance of the VREA and the Vermont Conservation Trust.

The meeting was informed of sys-

tems to curb the unacceptable crime rate in the area, being housebreaking, assault and theft, that should be implemented as soon as possible. These systems are supported by security services such as ADT, Capital and Safe Security.

Residents were again urged to report incidents to the authorities.

The Association wishes to thank the residents of Vermont for their overwhelming support at the meeting, said Paul Pfister, VREA portfolio manager for Safety and Security.

5th 5 th B Birthday irthday C Celebrations elebrations The BIG 5 for Whale Coast FM

Janet Marshall and Dayne Nel in the on­air studio of Whale Coast FM.

Whale Coast FM, the Overstrand’s very own Community Radio Station, turns five this month. Who would have thought that a conversation around a braai in 2007 would lead to the issuing of a five-year licence the following year!

Since December 2008, for 18 hours every day, Whale Coast FM has been the Rhythm of the Overstrand. With two transmitters, one above Hawston, the other above Hermanus Heights, WCFM covers the Overstrand from Hangklip to Pearly Beach.

Catering to the needs of a diverse community like that of the Overstrand isn’t always easy, but our eclectic mix of Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa programming seems to have struck a happy balance for all our listeners.

This is certainly reflected by the many calls

the station and its presenters receive on a daily basis.

Over these last five years, a dedicated team of presenters, producers and administrative staff has come together to ensure the smooth running of Whale Coast FM. However, the advertisers also play a vital role in making sure the station has sufficient income to flourish. Without advertisers, the station would not exist.

A huge Baie Dankie to all who use the power of radio to market their businesses. ) The time has now come for WCFM to renew its broadcast licence, refurbish some equipment and carry out general maintenance. Unlike the SABC, Whale Coast FM re-

ceives no licence fees or other official sustenance for this purpose. We have therefore launched our Donasie vidi Stasie (Donation for the Station) campaign to give listeners the opportunity to support WCFM and make sure the Rhythm of the Overstrand stays on air for the next five years.

GANSBAAI Gansbaai events

JAN-HENDRIK COETZER Although the legal use for the existing landing strip at Grootbos Accommodation Enterprises just outside Gansbaai, was approved by Overstrand Municipality’s Gansbaai Administration recently, it does not mean that they are going to use it to fly in corporate clients.

The landing strip is about 8m wide and 1 km long and no new infrastructure associated with the landing strip will be constructed.

“At this stage the landing strip will not be used for corporate clients to fly in and out of Grootbos because of its condition. The strip is basically an old gravel road which is not tarred and is also not even,” says Michael Lutzeyer, Grootbos’ owner.

“With the landing strip’s incline together with the southeaster from time to time, I don’t think many pilots will feel comfortable landing here.

“The only pilot using the landing strip at the moment is Evan Austin, owner of African

Wings in Stanford, who will take clients on whale watching trips.

“During the whale watching season we do approximately 100 trips. In the past I used to take my guests to Stanford for a whale watching flight, but now with the landing strip being legalised for small aircraft, we can do it right here from Grootbos,” says Lutzeyer.

With fires being a great danger for the Overberg region, Lutzeyer is also looking at possibilities for a water pick-up spot.

“If I can manage to put a pipeline from the dam to the landing strip, we can maybe look at using it for planes to pick up water when a fire breaks out. Where a helicopter can take approximately 800 l of water, a plane can easily carry up to 2 000 l,” says Lutzeyer.

It is expected that the landing strip will provide a significant boost to business and hence the local economy, conservation and social projects that Grootbos is driving.

Grootbos is an ecotourism destination with two 5-star lodges and a luxury villa overlooking Walker Bay.

Focus

Gansbaai – Sharks, whales and so much more Gansbaai has grown from small beginnings as a fishing village (1881) to an area known as the white shark capital of the world.

The town got its name from the large number of geese found at the fresh water fountain in the current harbour area.

A small monument in the Gansbaai harbour depicts the origins of the town at the freshwater fountain and at the Kleinbaai harbour the eight shark boats attest to the current popularity of shark cage diving.

As a coastal area fishing and sea-related activities play a big role in the town. The excellent fishing opportunities led to the establishment of Gansbaai Marine in 1962 and trawlers are a familiar sight out in the bay.

In years gone by they all had names like Kolgans, Blougans, Sneeugans and Berggans.

Fishing is also still a popular recreational sport.

The greater Gansbaai area consists of De Kelders, Gansbaai town, Kleinbaai, Franskraal, Masakhane, Blompark, Pearly Beach and Baardskeerdersbos. Each of these areas has their own unique ambience.

Gansbaai is a popular weekend and holiday destination and a place where one can relax

Hou Moed ‘neglected’ The Hou Moed Youth Centre in Zwelihle has been described as “an oasis that was created in a sea of misery”.

But Theo de Meyer, founder of Hou Moed and the manager of the centre for 16 years before he retired last year shortly before his 80th birthday, believes this is no longer the case.

He and past members of the Hou Moed Youth Centre say they are concerned about the apparent dilapidated state of the facility and the deterioration of what was once a dynamic youth centre that was hugely respected by local, national and international supporters and friends. De Meyer maintains: “It was always spotlessly neat and tidy and such a happy and caring place for up to 80 children of all ages daily.” The centre, situated in Kwasa Kwasa, offered youth development and recreation programmes.

The Hou Moed management committee had difficulties finding a successor for De Meyer. It was, however, agreed that Hermanus Child Welfare would take over the management and control of the centre. At the end of 2012 the Hou Moed committee was dissolved and the assets of the centre were transferred to Child Welfare.

A year on and De Meyer now says: “We shudder to think what the supporters and sponsors of many programmes, building improvements and so much costly furniture and equipment would say if they had to visit the centre today and see for themselves.”

He and his past senior youth members say the Hou Moed play areas and grounds are unkempt and strewn with rubble; the garden has been neglected; the metal soccer posts in the playground have been removed and the cricket nets and tennis practice wall abandoned and allowed to deteriorate beyond use. The wild plum trees planted years ago have also been chopped down; windows and boundary wall slabs are being smashed regularly; the pool and table tennis tables are no longer in use and it is unknown what has become of them.

De Meyer, concerned about the neglect, asks: “How could Hermanus Child Welfare allow this once vibrant and most valuable community facility and an “oasis” for the poorest of poor, to instead become a part of the surrounding “sea of misery”?

Sarie Snyman, chairperson of Hermanus Child Welfare’s management committee admits they have had a problem with recurring vandalism at the centre and are constantly having to repair things.

She says Child Welfare engages with the community constantly and members of

the community are also concerned about the vandalism at Hou Moed as it reflects badly on them. The trees were cut down by people living in the area and another by the Yomelelani Pre-School, which is an independently run and managed school situated at Hou Moed.

Snyman says: “As a child protection organisation we are governed by the Children’s Act and have to abide by the rules set out in the act.”

She says for any programmes presented in any community, like for instance the partial care – which is the aftercare programme Child Welfare is running at Hou Moed – they have to abide by the prescribed rules of the municipality, the Department of Social Development, the Department of Health and the Department of Education.

Rina Louw, manager of Child Welfare Hermanus says the programmes they run at Hou Moed need to be more formalised.

She says the aim is to develop the after school care programme so that it can be registered with the Department of Social Development. Louw says it also took them until August this year to get the lease agreement between them and the Overstand Municipality signed.

Louw and Snyman say that for the past year four mentors from the community have run the aftercare programme. After a meal the children, about 60 per day, focus on homework followed by fun and educational activities. They have also run holiday programmes through the year and will continue to do so with over 100 primary school aged children attending each day.

Louw says the Hou Moed Centre, which now falls under the broader umbrella of the services and programmes provided by Child Welfare, is being developed as a community centre where programmes for adults, like the Junk to Jive job creation initiative are being accommodated, as well as the Siyakha community based programme which reaches out to children at risk under the age of 10.

Louw says they have appointed a centre manager who will start in January. The mentors will continue to work under his supervision and he will also be responsible for the security of the property and the maintenance, together with the handyman who is already working at the centre.

From mid-January, Child Welfare will also have a permanent social work office at Hou Moed. Louw adds: “We have a marvellous opportunity to positively impact the community, this is all we want and this is the plan for the future.”

KBBV­leiers ruil stoele Die Kleinmond-belastingbetalersvereniging het vroeër vanjaar honderde senior inwoners van die kusdorpie gemobiliseer om protes teen die konsep-begroting van die Overstrandmunisipaliteit aan te teken, maar by sy algemene jaarvergadering Vrydag 15 November was daar geen buitengewone vuurwerke nie.

Die grootste aktiwiteit was om nuwe bloed vir die bestuur van die komitee te soek.

Dr Gawie Eksteen moes ingevolge die vereniging se grondwet die tuig as voorsitter neerlê na drie jaar. “Eksteen was die regte man vir die moeilike tye waardeur die vereniging gestuur moes word: hy beskik nie net oor voortreflike diensvaardighede nie, maar was ook vreesloos wanneer hy inwoners se saak op ander forums moes stel,” het Johan Barnard gesê.

Ervarenheid is in die voorsitterstoel behou, met die aanwys van ondervoorsitter Jan-Willem van Staden as die KBBV-leier. Eksteen sal die ondervoorsitterstoel inneem.

Al die ander bestuurslede is in hul posisies herkies, met ’n enkele uitsondering. Eksteen het egter die vergadering daarop gewys dat die bestuur al hoe ouer word en dat nuwe bloed nodig is. Talle voorstelle is daarop uit die gehoor ontvang en die mense sal genader word om betrokke te raak.

Eksteen het sy kommer uitgespreek oor die verswelging van die Kleinmond-strandmeer deur fluitjiesriet. Korrespondensie met Kaapse natuurbewaring word nie eens erken nie.

“Wat gaan ons aan ons kleinkinders sê as daar nie meer ’n lagune is nie,” het hy gevra.

Volgens Eksteen is die personeel by die kliniek onvoldoende, hoewel al die poste gevul is. Kontak met provinsie oor die situasie is “onmoontlik”. Die munisipaliteit het die grond waarop die kliniek staan aan die provinsie geskenk vir uitbreiding, maar dit waarborg nie beter diens, meer personeel en infrastruktuur nie. “Ons kan seker met reg vra hoekom die Overstrand-munisipaliteit nie die provinsie aanvat oor die gebrekkige ondersteuning nie.”

Eksteen het ook bekend gemaak dat die Kleinmond-belastingbetalersvereniging nie verdere beswaar gaan maak teen die aansoek vir hersonering van Arabella se grond vir verdere ontwikkeling nie. Daar is by wyse van onderhandeling geslaag om die beplande ontwikkeling meer omgewingsvriendelik te maak en dit het ook geblyk dat die voorsiening van water aan Arabella nie Kleinmond negatief sal beïnvloed nie. Die KBBV het wel versoek dat indien die ontwikkeling voortgaan, voorkeur gegee moet word aan die inwoners van Kleinmond vir werksgeleenthede en die voorsiening van boumateriale en –dienste.

Eksteen het weer eens ’n beroep gedoen op belastingbetalersverenigings in die ooste van Overstrand om betrokke te raak by ’n forum waar sake van gemeenskaplike belang bespreek en aanbevelings gemaak kan word. Hy sê as belastingbetalers nie aktief betrokke raak nie, gee dit vir Overstrand se munisipale personeel en die politici ’n oop hand om hul wil op ander af te dwing sonder dat daar tweerigting-konsultasie plaasvind.

Young artists flourish at Rainbow KERRY VAN RENSBURG Twice a week a group of children who are part of the Rainbow Trust’s Children’s Circle of Support programme gather at the resource centre in Zwelihle for a quiet afternoon of arts and crafts.

Winnie Nywebeni, a lay counsellor and auxiliary social worker with the Hermanus Rainbow Trust, pioneered the programme in 2004.

Children from the Zwelihle community who are dealing with difficult circumstances are able to go to the Red Cross Centre for breakfast, lunch and aftercare. The children receive counselling and support and are able

to interact in a safe environment.

On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons Winnie and Sheila Hempe, a social carer, take the older children for arts and crafts.

Winnie is especially proud of the 14-year old Mzoxolo Ntyatho, who has only been part of the group for two months, but has shown as a talent for painting.

Winnie says she hopes that someone will be able to sponsor and help develop his talent further. She would also like artists to offer talks and training on the various aspects of art so that the whole group can be inspired by their input.

Call Winnie on 072 816 5163 if you can help.

HARBOUR MURAL: The sea­themed mural being painted on a stretch of wall at the New Harbour by young artists from the Hermanus Youth Art Studio, is starting to at­ tract a lot of admiration from visitors and residents who have seen the painting devel­ op over the past few weeks. Jeandre Marinier worked the image to scale and trans­ ferred it onto the wall. The artists painting the mural are led by project manager Vivi­ enne Mitchley (second from right) who is also in charge of the Hermanus Youth Art Centre. She says they have spent about 45 hours working on the mural so far and hope to have it finished by 10 December. With Mitchley at the wall, with paintbrushes in hand are (from left): Lochel Coetzee, Jean Mari Bothma, Simone Visagie, Nicola Co­ etzee and Joshua Alberts.

The New Harbour art project is starting to take shape thanks to the young artists who have volunteered their time to paint the wall.

Members updated on Hangklip-Kleinmond tourism projects

The tourism industry is alive and well in the Hangklip-Kleinmond area if one looks at the attendance of the members’ mingle held in the Alimento Restaurant in Kleinmond.

In total 44 members turned up for the event, where they not only enjoyed good food and a wine tasting presented by Wildekrans Wine Estate, but were also briefed on two important projects that will affect tourism in the area.

Neville Green, environmental diversity manager at Overstrand Municipality, talked about the upgrading of the facilities at the Stony Point Nature Reserve.

Cliffie Krouse gave an update on the progress with arrangements for the Big Blues Music Festival that will take place in the Kleinmond Harbour on 28 February and 1 March 2014.

He called on members of the community to become involved and said open meetings are held every first Wednesday of the month (4 December, 8 January and 5 February) at the Hangklip-Kleinmond Tourism Bureau to discuss ideas and plans for our area’s biggest annual musical event.

HKTB chairperson Clinton Lerm announced that the bureau will move to new premises early next year which will be more visible and invited anyone interested in sharing space with the tourism bureau to contact them.

He also referred to the visitor statistics for October 2013, which indicated a slight decrease in numbers compared to October 2012 and can be ascribed to underlying economic influences.

Lerm said there should be a greater focus on attracting visitors from the Cape Town area, especially now that foreign visitors are affected by the struggling economic situation in Europe and the USA. He told the members that within the Overstrand tourism ranks, a new marketing opportunity opened up and that for an additional member’s fee of R100 per year they will be allowed to place brochures at the other three tourism bureaux of the area – Hermanus, Stanford and Gansbaai.

Anyone interested in joining the Hangklip-Kleinmond Tourism Bureau or the Big Blues team, can contact bureau manager Celeste Scheepers or any one of the other tourism officials at 028 271 5657 or visit them at the Tourism Bureau in Harbour Road, Kleinmond.

Over 800 employees in the Overstrand building industry will receive their first leave payout and annual bonus this December, totalling R1,5million. The Building Industry Bargaining Council (BIBC), which increased its jurisdiction to the Overstrand area in 2011, announced this first payout – a milestone for the industry and a boost for the local economy.

“A total of 837 employees, employed by 110 employers, will receive their first payout this year,” said Arnold Williams, secretary for the BIBC (Cape of Good Hope).

To ensure the safety of the employers, employees and the BIBC staff, no cash will be paid out; instead employees are able to choose between electronic transfers or cheque payments. The employers will receive their employees’ cheques from the BIBC on 3 December, while those employers who opted for electronic transfers or for cheques to be handed directly to employees, will be dealt with between 11 and 14 December.

The timing of the annual payout coincides with the annual builders’ holiday, which starts on 17 December. The industry reopens on Monday 13 January. The duration of the builders’ annual leave is traditionally 15 working days, plus the three public holidays that fall within the leave period, and is legislated as part of the BIBC’s Collective Agreement. This year the council again negotiated an additional unpaid leave day since the start of the working period would have been Friday 10 January 2014 had they not done so.

FIRST FOR SA:CRUZE RANGE GETS OOMPH

Turbo power for Chevrolet Cruze QUICKPIC The Chevrolet Cruze Hatch and Sedan ranges in South Africa have been given new life with the addition of turbocharged derivatives of both body styles. Marking the first time turbocharged Chevrolets have been available in South Africa, the new turbo models also usher in minor detail upgrades and a refreshed model lineup.

Forming part of General Motors’ global powertrain portfolio, the 1,4-litre turbocharged ECOTEC petrol engine now makes its way into Cruze models after proven use in other GM products the world over. Producing 103 kW between 4 900 and 6 000 r/min along with 200 Nm of torque between 1 850 ad 4 900 r/min, the smooth engine not only provides an enhanced driving experience in both Cruze body styles, but also benefits in the fuel efficiency and carbon emissions stakes. Featuring standard start/stop technology, the fourcylinder unit has a dual overhead camshaft with variable valve timing and a multi-point injection fuel system.

Featured in the new Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T LS Sedan and Cruze 1.4T LS Hatch models, the new powertrain returns average combined fuel economy of 5,8 F per 100 km, with corresponding CO² emissions of 135 g/km each. Both models also come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox with gear ratios perfectly matched to the turbocharged engine, further ensuring optimal efficiency.

This engine delivers performance comparable to units of a larger displacement while requiring less fuel and producing a smaller carbon footprint.

The safety architecture of the local Cruze sedan and hatch models is based on the original design, which has earned top five-star safety ratings from both Euro NCAP and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

To help the driver avoid accidents, the Cruze comes packed with advanced active safety systems which include:

Featured in the new Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T LS Sedan and Cruze 1.4T LS Hatch models, the new powertrain returns average combined fuel economy of 5.8­litres per 100 km, with corresponding CO² emissions of 135 g/km each.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC ) Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which helps the driver maintain control in challenging driving situations and keeps the vehicle heading in the intended direction. It also enables more precise, controlled antilock braking performance as well as exceptional traction and steering stability. ) Traction Control, which limits wheel spin when one or both of the front driven wheels begin to lose traction ) Four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). The latter proportions brake pressure during braking.

In the case of an accident, the Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T has front and rear crush zones, engineered to collapse in a controlled fashion and maintain the integrity of the cabin. A collapsible pedal assembly also reduces the risk of injury to the driver’s legs and feet during moderate-to-severe impacts.

All Cruze LS and LT models are equipped

with five three-point seatbelts and six standard airbags. Safety seats for children can be secured using the ISOFIX anchoring system on the two rear outboard positions.

Along with the introduction of the new turbocharged powertrain, Chevrolet Cruze sedan and hatch models have both been given specification updates, further enhancing the value added by the new engine. Striking new optional 17-inch alloy wheels update the exterior looks of the 1.4T LS models, along with slight design upgrades, which include LED side indicators integrated into the door mirrors on all models and a chrome belt-line on the Hatch. Two new colours are also available: Mars Stone Blue and Blue Sapphire.

Other standard equipment applicable to LS and LT-spec models includes one-touch up/ down driver and front passenger windows, while LS-specific options include leather upholstery, a sunroof and the ‘Driver’s Pack’ which incorporates automatic climate con-

trol and rear parking sensors. New model changes notwithstanding, the entry level 1.6 Sedan now also benefits from the addition of ESC – something the rest of the Cruze range still enjoys.

The introduction of the new turbocharged Cruze models to the range sees the new Cruze 1.4T LS Sedan and Hatch derivatives replacing the existing 1.8 LS Sedan and Hatch models. Supported by the Cruze 1.6 Sedan, 1.6 LS Sedan, 1.6 LS Hatch, 2.0D LS Sedan and the range topping 2.0D LT Sedan models, the two hatchback derivatives and five sedan derivatives complete a seven-model range in South Africa, with keen pricing and value for money still a strong Cruze selling point.

Pricing for the new 1.4 Turbo starts at R242 100 (hatchback) and R244 700 for the sedan.

All Chevrolet Cruze derivatives are sold with a 5-year/120 000 km warranty and a 3year/60 000 km service plan.

24 Hermanus Times Avis can now offer the Jag experience 5 December, 2013

The chance of of driving a Jaguar is now just that little bit more readily available, courtesy of Avis Luxury Cars. Jaguar Land Rover SA has made two F-TYPE Jaguars and 45 new XFs available for the luxury rental fleet nationwide.

“Jaguar’s partnership with Avis provides an ideal platform for consumers to experience a Jaguar at first-hand, outside the dealership environment,” says Kevin Flynn, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

With demand for the F-TYPE far exceeding supply, this impressive sports car newcomer is one of the most exciting additions to the new vehicle market this year. It has also been named a 2013 Car of the Year finalist.

“While the F-TYPE is a bespoke sports car that won’t ultimately suit the practicalities of many new car buyers, the allure of experiencing one first hand is difficult to ignore.

That desire may just have become

that bit easier through an Avis experience,” said Flynn.

The Avis Luxury Cars fleet provides a number of premium vehicles to discerning customers countrywide, whether for a special occasion or merely what individuals are accustomed to. The opportunity to have the acclaimed XF as a car-hire option is an important step for the company towards providing a Jaguar experience to a wider audience.

Both the Jaguar XF 2.2d and latest 2.0i4 turbocharged petrol models are available in the fleet, all in Premium Luxury spec. The world’s most beautiful executive saloon naturally offers a host of features and innovative technology, packaged in true Jaguar style.

The frugal diesel XF drove from Pretoria to Durban and back on a single tank of fuel last year, returning 4,9 l/100km. But that’s just a bonus on top of the luxury package and 140kW performance.

Jaguar’s new 2,0-litre turbocharged petrol engine provides an equally thrilling performance experience, courtesy of 177kW of refined

“The Jaguar XF appeals to the youngest, most dynamic Jaguar cus-

tomer yet,” continues Flynn. “We can now showcase this beautiful car to more people who may not otherwise have considered a Jaguar. For us, the XF embodies the bold design, luxury, and efficient performance of

all our cars.”

The XF is available from Avis Luxury Cars in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth, F-TYPEs in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Nissan Navara puts on the Safari suit QUICKPIC The formidable Nissan Navara range has been extended with the introduction of the new special edition Nissan Navara Safari – a specially modified iteration of the classleading bakkie which has been tailored for the intrepid South African 4x4 enthusiast who enjoys overland excursions.

Under the guidance and advice of 4x4 expert Glyn Demmer, the Navara Safari now boasts the additions and modifications that a safari environment demands, says Demmer: “While the Nissan Navara in 4x4 guise remains a formidable off-road vehicle, we decided to specialise the Safari version and create a vehicle that is specially suited to overland trips. While the Navara Safari doesn’t lose any of its normal offroad capabilities, the addition of specialised extras just enhances its prowess as a long-distance ‘bundu basher’.”

The new Nissan Navara Safari, which is based on the Navara 2.5 dCi Double Cab 4x4 LE and is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox, features a host of special equipment which includes: • All-terrain tyres for optimum grip off-road without compromising on-road dynamics, • A front-mounted nudge bar that provides protection from trees and shrubs as well as serving as a secure mounting point for the standard spotlights, which provide superior enhance-

ments to visibility at night, • Hard-wearing seat covers, are crafted from cotton canvas for extra protection and which include useful storage pockets, • Easy-to-clean SAFARI-branded carpets, • A rubberised load box with tonneau cover for extra practicality, cargo protection, aerodynamic drag improvement and aesthetic enhancement, • Underbody protection plates for the engine, gearbox and transfer case, which make traversing rocky terrain less dangerous, • Custom-built protective rocksliders which protect the side sills, • A removable tow bar with recovery points to capitalise on the Navara’s 3 000 kg towing capacity while maintaining an excellent departure angle.

Nissan South Africa Product Manager (Marketing), Marinus Venter, elaborates: “In creating the Navara Safari we wanted to ensure that specialised extras were fitted, not only to add value, but also to make off-road excursions even easier for our more adventurous customers.”

As with the rest of the Nissan Navara range, the new Navara Safari comes standard with a 3-year/100 000 km warranty and Nissan’s 3year/90 000 km service plan, with service intervals of 15 000 km.

The new Nissan Navara Safari Retail’s price incl. VAT Navara Safari 2.5 dCi Double Cab 4x4 LE manual is R490 000, while the automatic will set you back R496 000.

SPAR GIRL SEEKS A HOME: This is the collie cross female with a long swishy fox­ like tail, who was constantly seen at Gate­ way Spar begging for food recently. She was terribly thin and was obviously nursing. After calls by concerned residents, the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (Haws) collected her, fed her and released her again so that she could return to her pups as Haws did not know where they were. She was seen again at Spar, but this time seemed to have weaned her babies and would not go home, so Haws took her in again in the hope of finding her a permanent home. She has been named Sparletta and is playful, alert and af­ fectionate. Contact Haws on 028 312 1281.

DOGS on their last legs

CURRO SPORTDAG: Curro Pre­primêr Hermanus het Vrydag 30 November ’n sportdag vir die kleuters aangebied.Van die ouers het ook gewys hulle kán nog.

FOTO’S: HANSIE OOSTHUIZEN

Kleuters neem deel aan resies.

Tuesday saw the last log game of 2013 and a final chance for the potential combatants to impress their respective captains before the big international match next week.

Some chose just to show off with Steady Freddie being the worst culprit. Others obviously made little effort, realising that their tenderpreneurship had already got them into the side.

Judging by Tuesday’s scores, the locals have to go into this match as firm favourites, especially playing at home against a team which has no home ground of their own. Mind you that’s what they said about the Proteas against Pakistan in the ODI’s!

Scores: 41 Fred Garrett; 39 Louwtjie Kruger, Ian Newman; 37 Alan Calder, Mannes van Zyl; 35 Doug Ross; 34 Alan Smith, Arne Andersen; 33 Michel Maury, John Flynn (guest); 31 Dave Rade, Chris Martin, Mike Graham; 30 Dave Brittain; 29 Sam Seal; 27 John Cheesbrough, Jon Forsyth, Peter Thomas, Geoff Crowther, David Naylor; 26 Dave Smith; 25 Tony Jones, Hugh Frangs, John Tunstall; 23 Gordon Wilson; 19 Pat Dewil, Tony Hackett ) AJ Cup winners: Louwtjie Kruger / Arne Andersen.
