Twee kinders gered van verdrinking 2 JANINE VAN DER RIET
A
proposal, to uplift Lemm’s Corner, was presented by Nicolette Lloyd from Nicolette Lloyd Architectural Design, in conjunction with Meindert Jonge Poerink from Fynbos Gardens, during the annual general meeting of the Whale Museum Trust, on Wednesday. The proposal includes trees planted next to the white walls of Lemm’s Corner, four kiosks on the Quaters
Hotel side (to help soften the big building), selling wine, breads and cheeses. Only specialised, unique stalls. They suggest the rest of the park be filled with trees for shade, benches and a water feature where a concert or event could be held during the season, attracting visitors to explore the entire Fisherman’s Village as a whole. Poerink said when he started on the project, he immediately asked his clients for donations to invest in planting of trees etc. He has already received big donations to make
Lemm’s Corner a “greener, pleasing” space. Everyone present at the well attended meeting were in agreement that something must be done to the empty open space, “which is now only attracting vagrants and people eating junk food in their lunch breaks”. Most of the people at the meeting loved the ideas by Lloyd and Poerink, and just added a few suggestions and comments. “The proposal can work, but with replicas of old Fisherman’s Cottages used as stalls instead of kiosks.

Also, new trees planted must not cut off the view of motorists driving past Lemm’s Corner – the most beautiful part of Fisherman’s Village,” said Bruce van der Spuy, previous owner of Fisherman’s Cottage. Elizabeth du Toit, manager of the Old Harbour Museum, said Lemm’s Corner belongs to the friends of the Old Harbour Museum who bought the piece of land years ago in order to preserve the green belt, instead of shops/businesses being built on the erf. Van der Spuy said three fisher-

man-styled cottages, with upmarket stallsoperating from thesecottages, would enhance the drive into town, with a archway welcoming visitors to Fisherman’s Village. Other suggestions from the audience were to establish an open air museum with old ox-wagons on display. Beth Hunt, from Hemingway’s Bookshop, was in favour of the idea of lots of trees, as trees and green spaces draw people. After the discussion, it was decided that a workshop will be held in the near future to further discuss ideas on the table.

Volgens Elton Hess is hy nie ’n held nie. “Die Vader het my gestuur om op die regte tyd daar te wees om die kinders te red. “Dit was regtig ’n nare ondervinding om die kinders só te sien!” Hess het vroegmiddag ’n oproep van sy suster gehad om die kinders na die Fisherhaven-lagune te neem om te gaan swem. “Ek wou nie eintlik gaan nie, maar het toe van plan verander en my suster, my seuntjie en haar kleinkinders opgetel,” sê Hess. Hulle was ’n hele ruk by die meer waar hy agterin die bakkie lê en slaap het. “Ek het op ’n stadium gehoor hoe iemand na my suster se kleinkind, Cindy Hans (13), roep en ek het opgekyk. Ek het gesien hoe sy ’n kind uit die water lig en weer los en ek het besef daar is ’n probleem.” Hy het tot by Cindy gehardloop en gesien daar is ’n tweede kind wat in die water dryf. “Ek het vir Cindy gesê om die een kind uit die water te kry, en na die ander een gegaan. Toe ek haar oplig was daar skuim om haar mond en haar oë was stokstyf. Daar was geen beweging aan haar nie.” Toe hy die kind op die oewer kry,
het hy gesien Cindy en sy seun, Clark Hess (8), het die ander meisie uit die water gehelp. Hy het op die kind by hom se bors begin druk en ’n man, skynbaar ’n familielid, het nader gestaan en gehelp met mond-tot-mond-asemhaling. “Die man het gesê haar pa gaan nooit verstaan as sy nou moet dood wees nie.” Hulle het aanhou teen haar bors druk en sy het water uitgespoeg en begin beweeg. Hess het toe na die tweede kind gegaan wat nog doodstil gelê het. Hy het toe op haar bors ook begin druk en sy het bietjie water opgegooi en haar oë het begin fladder. Rando Willemse en Evan Marais het in dié stadium by die toneel opgedaag en ook mond-tot-mond-asemhaling begin doen. Hess, wat in dié stadium erg geskok was, het teruggestaan terwyl hulle werk. “Sy het toe weer heelwat water opgebring en ’n halwe snik gegee.” Die EMR-ambulansdienste het intussen by die toneel opgedaag en oorgeneem. Die ander meisie se familie het haar ook nader gebring en hulle is albei behandel voordat hulle na die Hermanus-hospitaal geneem is. Hess het sy susterskind, wat ook in erge skok was, na die hospitaal geneem. “Ons is almal nou oukei, maar dit spook by my. Om te sien hoe die kinders gelyk het, om so te sê dood te
wees, hoe hulle gedryf het en hul oë gelyk het. Sondag kon ek nie my oë toemaak nie.” Hy is net dankbaar dat die kinders leef. “Een van die kinders is blykbaar na Worcester oorgeplaas. Ek bid net dat daar nie blywende skade is nie.” Volgens Hess sal hy, wanneer hy oor die ergste skok is, graag die kinders en hul families wat hy glad nie ken nie, wil ontmoet. Volgens Leon Brand van EMR-ambulansdienste is hulle Sondag ontbied na die toneel, waar noodhulp reeds toegepas is. “Met aankoms het ons paramedici twee vyfjarige kinders in ’n kritieke toestand op die waterkant gevind. Albei kinders is deur omstanders uit die water gehaal en een het op haar eie begin asem haal, maar die tweede het nie reageer nie. “ ’n Omstander het noodhulp toegepas en was suksesvol. Albei kinders is na die Hermanus-hospitaal vervoer in ’n kritieke toestand.” Brand het later besoek afgelê by een van die meisies se huis, waar sy rustig geslaap het. “Dit is hoekom dit so belangrik is om ’n kursus in kardiopulmonêre resussitasie (KPR) te voltooi. Nie net om jou eie familie nie, maar ander in tye van nood te kan help.” ) EMR bied in November ’n KPRkursus aan. Om te bespreek, bel vir Anna by 082 468 9844.
Toeris sterk aan ná bootongeluk JANINE VAN DER RIET Die Britse toeris wat tydens ’n walviskyk-uitstappie op ’n boot op 9 Oktober ernstig beseer is, is uit die hospitaal ontslaan ná hy ’n rugoperasie ondergaan het. Michael Rastall (62) en sy familie was in Suid-Afrika vir vakansie en het op Southern Right Charters se boot gaan walvisse kyk.
Drie passasiers is beseer toe, volgens die boot se eienaars, ’n abnormale deining daartoe gelei het dat hulle hul balans verloor het. Die ander twee passasiers is vir breuke behandel en ook intussen ontslaan. Rastall is van die Mediclinic Hermanus na die Mediclinic Vergelegen oorgeplaas vir die rugoperasie. Hy was vir meer as ’n week in die
intensiewe eenheid by dié hospitaal. Volgens sy seun, Paul Rastall, gaan hulle na Engeland terugkeer sodra sy pa sterker is. Die familie het aangedui dat hulle regstappe teen die eienaars van Southern Right Charters oorweeg. Hulle is deur hul regspan in Engeland aangesê om nie met die media te praat nie.
Operation Combat needs retired professionals JANINE VAN DER RIET The Hermanus Police recently initiated a project called Operation Combat to focus on gangsterism in the Overstrand, but more especially, in schools. Col Francois de Wet, acting station commander at the Hermanus Police Station kicked off the project by visiting schools in the Overstrand. While visiting the schools, even
at a primary school, police members found gang signs tattooed and/ or drawn on the children’s arms, indicating they are members of a gang. Since then, the police have had good co-operation from schools in the area. “Most of the schools have identified learners who are in need of help, indicating an involvement with gangs and drugs,” said WO Riaan du Toit from the Hermanus Po-
lice. They are now looking for trained, retired professionals who can meet with the children and help them. “We are looking for professionals who can walk a path with these children. Professionals with experience in social services, psychologists, trauma counsellors, retired teachers, any professional willing to give up their free time to help these children in need.” Contact Du Toit on 082 778 6840 or De Wet on 082 469 1017.

Three armed house robberies occurred in the past week, two in Zwelihle and one in Eastcliff. In the latest incident, two suspects were arrested with stolen goods after an armed house robbery in Zwelihle. On Tuesday 28 October at around 03:00, the owner of the house was woken up by a noise in his house and saw four men standing around him. They threatened the man with a knife and took off with an undisclosed amount of cash and cellphones. WO Karel de Does, Sergeant Fundile Mavatha and Sgt Ricardo Kamana followed up on information and arrested two of the four

suspects in Zwelihle. One of the two men had been under house arrest when he committed the offence. In another house robbery on Thursday 23 October, a 62year-old woman from Eastcliff woke up at around 03:20 when she heard footsteps in the passage. She called out to her husband who was still sleeping at the time, but the two suspects stormed into her bedroom and threatened her with a knife. They demanded to see the safe and jewellery. They then tied her up and fled the scene with a cellphone, laptop, a wedding ring and cash. No arrests have been made. On 18 October an off-duty police sergeant arrested a
man in connection with an armed robbery in Jineyi Street in Zwelihle the previous day. According to Lieutenant Fadila September of the Hermanus Police, the shop’s owners recognised the suspect as the one who had robbed them and called Sgt Fundile Mavatha immediately. Mavatha responded swiftly and arrested the suspect and recovered a stolen firearm from him. The suspect was also linked to a recent case of housebreaking in Sandbaai. He appeared in the Hermanus Magistrate’s Court where bail was opposed. The acting station commander, Lt-Col Francois De Wet commended Mavatha for his dedication and commitment to his work.

Om tuine te skou is geen nuutjie vir Lynne en Peter Krafft van Voëlklip nie, maar dit is die eerste keer dat hulle dit doen sedert hulle in 2010 na Hermanus verhuis het. Donderdag 23 Oktober het dié egpaar hul tuin oopgegooi om hul liefde vir ’n mooi tuin met ander te deel. En mooi is dit, soos die bykans 50 besoekers ook sal getuig wat deur die tuin in 9de Straat gewandel het. Die ingangsfooi was R10 en die opbrengs is aan die Overstrand-hospies geskenk. Met die instap by die hek begroet ’n lushof van blomme jou. Noem dit ’n tipiese Engelse country garden met sowat 50 verskillende plantsoorte – van Inka-lelies en jasmyn tot rose en vingerhoedjies (foxgloves). In ’n ander hoekie is ’n kruietuin met ’n muur bedek onder tickey creeper. Die paadjies langs die kante van die huis af na die voortuin toe is net so mooi netjies en groen, en die voortuin slaan jou asem weg. Dit is hoofsaaklik ’n fynbostuin met die see as agtergrond en stukke dryfhout wat hier en daar net op die regte plek gesit is. “Dit is darem nie alles my eie handewerk
nie,” sê Lynne, hoewel die ontwerp van die tuin wel haar eie konsep is. Sy maak gebruik van Yvon Lerm se tuindienste, Garden Xpert, een keer per week, wat vir ’n uur en ’n half die nodige doen. Die Kraffts het voorheen in Westcliff, Johannesburg, gewoon, wat bekend is vir groot tuine. Daar het sy vyf keer deelgeneem aan ooptuin-dae. Die ooptuin-dag hier was so ’n sukses dat hulle graag sou wou sien dat ander plaaslike inwoners ook deelneem aan ’n ooptuin-dag, soos waarvoor die Elgin-gebied bekend is. “Ons kan dit ’n jaarlikse instelling maak, en oor twee dae aanbied. Sal dit nie wonderlik wees nie?” sê-vra Lynne. Sy nooi belangstellendes uit om met haar in verbinding te tree by lynne@hermanus.cc. ) Peter and Lynne Krafft from Voëlklip hosted an open garden on 23 October. They would like to encourage others to also host open gardens next year, on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October 2015. If you are interested in being part of the Hermanus Open Garden venture, please get in touch with Lynne via e-mail on lynne@hermanus.cc.
Met die instap by die tuinhekkie begroet dié lowergroen English country garden jou. Met die droogte twee jaar gelede moes die Krafftegpaar hul hele tuin van voor af begin. Hulle maak gebruik van reënwateropvan gers, benewens munisi pale water, om die tuin nou in stand te hou.

‘Onwettige bedryf het vals ekonomie geskep’ Lede van die vermeende perlemoensindikaat het Maandag in die Wes-Kaapse hooggeregshof verskyn. Van die kernpunte wat die staat in sy openingsbetoog gelewer het, was: ) Dit gaan nie net oor perlemoen nie. Dit gaan eintlik meer oor die geld wat uit die beweerde onwettige handel in perlemoen gemaak is. ) Kinders van tot 14 jaar oud wat belangstelling in hul skoolwerk ver-
loor om “ekstra sakgeld” te verdien, is deel van die sowat 70% van ’n gemeenskap wat op een of ander wyse by die beweerde sindikaat betrokke geraak het. ) ’n Vals ekonomie gegrond op die welvaart wat die onwettige perlemoenbedrywighede geskep het, bestaan – wat weer meer bendegeweld en misdaad impliseer. Meeste van dié lede is van Stanford en Gansbaai afkomstig. Altesaam 25 beskuldigdes staan tereg op meer as 700 aanklagte wat
insluit rampokkery, die onwettige besit, vervoer en verkoop van perlemoen en geldwassery. Die omvang van dié sindikaat se beweerde aktiwiteite beloop sowat R2,7 miljard. Die staatsaanklaer, adv. Helene Booysen, het aangevoer daar sal verskeie getuienis voor die hof gebring word wat die impak van die vermeende sindikaat op die mariene omgewing illustreer. Volgens Booysen was dié sindikaat vir minstens 13 jaar, van 1998 tot 2011, met beweerde misdade be-
drywig. Die beskuldigdes het verlede week skuld op al die aanklagte ontken. Booysen het gesê die staat sal getuienis bring wat bewys dat daar na bewering tussen vyf en tien ton perlemoen per week uit te see gestroop is. “In die laat negentigerjare was die perlemoen groot en volop en op ’n diepte van 1 m tot 2 m. Die perlemoen is al so uitgeroei dat duikers met duiktoerusting en bote tot op ’n diepte van 5 m tot 15 m moet af-
gaan,” het sy gesê. Kapt. Danie Rautenbach, bevelvoerder van die speurtak in Gansbaai, was die eerste getuie wat deur die staat geroep is. Hy het reeds Maandag begin getuig. Rautenbach het deur middel van foto’s wat aan die hof gewys is, verduidelik hoe sindikate te werk gaan om perlemoen te stroop en die rimpeleffek wat dit in die gemeenskap het. Die saak duur voort. – Jana Breytenbach, Die Burger

Submit your artwork for Night of 1 000 Drawings CILENE BEKKER As part of their Hermanus First Fridays Art Walk initiative, the 11 participating galleries have come up with the idea of hosting a Night of 1 000 Drawings. The December “First Fridays” (which will take place on 5 December) will be part of an evening of shopping and entertainment along Main Road. Each of the galleries will display drawings, to be sold for R100 each, the sum total of which will be donated to three charities. This is where you, the residents of the Overstrand, come into the picture. Not just to earmark 5 December as a day to do a spot of art shopping, but you are also urged by the gallery owners to draw/ paint on a piece of A5 paper, and donate it. “Anyone who feels they have any artistic ability must please produce paintings,
drawings, sketches, illustrations, prints or doodles on paper, card or board, in oils, watercolours, pastels, inks, pencil or charcoal, of landscapes, seascapes, portraits, abstracts or a still life,” explains Liz Coates from Pure South. “The only restrictions are that the artworks must be an A5 size, and the artists must be willing to donate them.” All the collected artworks will be distributed amongst the galleries and on 5 December will be displayed (see photo as an example) and available for purchase. In addition to the artworks sent in by members of the public, amateur artists and school art groups are also welcome to make a contribution. Gallery owners will also be approaching the professional artists who regularly exhibit in their galleries and ask them to contribute a few of their own drawings, illustrations and sketches. These will be mixed in with all the other donated works of art.
All the proceeds from the sales of these artworks will go to Overstrand Hospice, Whale Coast Conservation and HEAP School in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Your (signed) artwork/s can be dropped off at any of the following galleries in the Hermanus CBD by the close of day on Monday 1 December: Art Eye, Rossouw Modern, Originals gallery, Bellini gallery, Hermanus Art Circle, Pure South, Lembu, Walker Bay gallery, Willie Botha gallery, Gallery 19 and Art Thirst. ) Originally, the 1 000 Drawings initiative started in 2006 when the delivery bakkie for the Cape Town soup kitchen Paballo ya Batho (Sotho for “caring for the people”) was stolen. Night of 1 000 Drawings was born as a fundraising rescue plan. This concept has grown and currently runs in six cities around the world, including Berlin, Amsterdam, Tuscany, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Dubai – and now in Hermanus.

HemelenAarde Platter’s Pinot noir heaven The Platter’s 5 star announcements are something that the wine industry awaits annually with half filled glasses and great expectations. The 2015 nominations delivered a Pinot punch when Hemel-en-Aarde received not one, two or three but all four of the five star Pinot noir awards. Newton Johnson raised the stakes with their Family Vineyards Pinot noir winning five stars for 6 consecutive years. Winemaking duo Nadia and Gordon Newton Johnson received honours at the Mount Nelson in Cape Town where the 34th Platter’s South African Wine Guide listing was revealed on Monday evening. Joining Gordon and Nadia in securing Pinot noir acclaim for Hemel-en-Aarde are Ga-
vin Patterson from Sumaridge, JC and Carolyn Martin from Creation and Peter Allan Finlayson with his Crystallum Cuvée Cinéma Pinot noir. The Platter acknowledgement highlights Hemel-en-Aarde’s role in premium Pinot noir production in South Africa. Recently another Hemel-en-Aarde producer, Domaine des Dieux, was celebrated as the 2014 Amorim MCC Best Producer and Best Brut Blend for their Claudia 2009 Cap Classique. Made in the traditional champagne style this wine also contains Pinot noir goodness for which the Hemel-en-Aarde is so well known. It is appropriate for the region to host the 2nd Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot noir Celebration in January 2015 and proclaim their Pinot noir proficiency.
Bartho en HPF ryg toekennings in Wynmaker Bartho Eksteen en Hermanuspietersfontein ryg weer ’n string van toekennings in die afgelope tyd.

Reach out and fill Bags of Love ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN The Bags of Love Campaign was launched this week with Overstrand Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie as one of their main patrons. The campaign has grown tremendously over the past eight years, with the main aim being to buy a bag of food which will then be distributed to needy families in the weeks leading up to Christmas. “Our wish is quite a simple one,” said convener, Des Collins. “We are hoping that we will be able to add a little Christmas cheer to the poorest of the poor in our community.” The project is supported by churches, Rotary, the Overstrand Municipality, local businesses and many generous individual donors. They are hoping to distribute more than 1 000 bags in Zwelihle, Mount Pleasant, Hawston, Stanford, Gansbaai and Kleinmond. The recommended content for each bag is 1 kg rice, 1 kg sugar, 26 tea bags, peanut butter, 425 g pilchards in tomato sauce, 200 g savoury soya mince, 1 kg samp, 500 g dried sugar beans, 1 kg mealie meal, 410 g baked beans, 750 ml cooking oil and 500 g salt. The price of these bags at the Eastcliff Kwikspar, Hermanus, who has partnered with the campaign, totals R111,49 and can be packed in the back of the shop where all the ingredients (and bags) are ready. The same prices apply at the Gansbaai Superspar (White Shark Junction, Main Road, Gansbaai) and Kleinmond Superspar (on the corner of Botrivier Road and 9th Avenue, Kleinmond). These lowered prices have been made possible with the support of the Spar Western Cape Distribution Centre. The bags can be left at the store to be distributed by the conveners. At your own convenience, you can buy these items at any store, but the total price will vary from Spar’s. And you may want to add extra Christmas treats such as jams, canned fruit and custard. “We are hoping that local businesses will challenge each other to take part,” said Collins. The different departments within the municipality have taken on the project wholeheartedly and are challenging each other to see who can buy the most bags. Donations for bags (R112 and maybe a little extra for a treat) can be made to Absa Bank Account Number: 9251142278 with the reference “Bags of Love”.

Rotary marshals for charity CILENE BEKKER One of the biggest fundraiser events for members of Hermanus Rotary Club is the upcoming Wines2Whales mountain-bike race. They do duty as marshals for the stretch between Botriver and Onrus on 2, 5 and 9 November, and also man three water points. For their efforts they get paid around R60 000, the bulk of which will go towards Hermanus Rotary projects which include among others allocating monies for bursaries, a list of beneficiaries, hosting of the Christmas Carols in December and general management of Mollergren Park. Final arrangements for marshalling duties were checked at the Rotary Club meeting held at Mollergren Park on Thursday 23 October. At the meeting President Elect, Peter Mellowship also gave a round-up of the state of polio worldwide, in recognition of World Polio Day on 24 October – this being a priority project for Rotary International for the past 30 years. When the initiative started more than 350 000 people were stricken by polio every
year, nearly 1 000 new polio cases every day. According to Mellowship the last reported case in South Africa was in 1989, so it’s not a hot topic locally, but the battle for a poliofree world is still ongoing. India has now been declared polio free which was seen as a medical breakthrough as it was once considered to be the hardest place on earth to stop polio. From 125 countries in 1985, this has now whittled down to only three countries where polio is still a factor – Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. Mellowship said the aim is to have a poliofree world by 2018. So far over $1,3billion has been spent on achieving this goal with mega input from Bill and Melinda Gates who via the Gates Foundation have donated over $300 M over the years, and other partners such as Unicef and the WHO (World Health Organisation). The Rotary Club of Hermanus donated $1 000 during the 2013/’14 Rotary year. ) At the meeting a cheque was handed over to Hermanus Rainbow Trust to the value of R72 100. These funds will go towards a community bakery, situated in Mimosa street, which will soon be in business.
COMPAGNESDRIFT, BOTRIVER: Compagnesdrift was probably the first farm to be established at the foothills of the Houw Hoek Mountains in the early part of the eigh teenth century as a stopover for early travellers heading east on the Old Cape Wagon Way. This is now home to Beaumont Wines, a family run farm acquired by Jayne and Raoul Beaumont in 1972. Jayne spoke to the Hermanus History Society (HHS) about the history of the farm and a group of 35 HHS members accompanied her on a fascinating tour of the old homestead, restored water mill and wine cellar on 21 October.

Klinieke maak plek vir ’n gesondheidsentrum Die Hermanus-gemeenskapsgesondheidsentrum (GGS) nader voltooiing en sal sy deure vroeg in 2015 open. Die Zwelihle-, Mount Pleasant- en Hermanus-klinieke sal dus stelselmatig toegemaak word. Volgens Natasha Petersen, woordvoerder vir die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid, sal die nuwe Hermanus-GGS die personeel van dié drie klinieke huisves. “Die departement is tans besig om die aanstellingsproses te finaliseer vir 14 bykomende poste vir die GGS, waaronder een vir ’n heeltydse dokter. Sodra die sleutels aan die departement oorhandig word, sal ons begin om nuwe toerusting te installeer.”
ONRUS ROAD SIGNS DISAPPEARING: A number of road signs have gone missing in Onrus over the last few weeks. According to Councillor Elzette Nell they have followed the municipal procedures to have them re placed. “The replacement has to be done by the municipality, which means that the cost comes out of the ratepayers’ pockets.” This sign on the corner of Roos and Van Blom menstein is still being procured, but the rest of the signs, including the one that was dam aged on the corner of Van Blommenstein and Main Road have already been replaced. Al though most of the signs seem to disappear at night, she has asked residents to be alert and report any suspicious activity and acts of vandalism to the police or municipal law enforcement.

Die Wes-Kaapse minister van gesondheid, Theuns Botha, beplan om die perseel Vrydag 14 November te besoek om te kyk hoe dit vorder. Hy het verlede jaar ook besoek afgelê by die fasiliteit saam met die argitek en kontrakteurs. “Dié gemeenskapsgesondheidsfasiliteit is binne maklike loopafstand vir die mense van Zwelihle. Dit is ’n mooi gebou met baie oop ruimtes en sal beslis bydra om pasiënte goed te laat voel, al is hulle ook siek,” sê Botha. “Dit is vir ons regering baie belangrik om primêre gesondheidsdienste naby aan of midde-in gemeenskappe te hê sodat basiese gesondheid en welstand toeganklik en bereikbaar vir alle mense is.”
BOME GEPLANT: Tien nuwe bo me is onlangs in Atlanticrylaan in Onrusrivier geplant om die struike wat na bewering in 2012 vergiftig is, te vervang. Die melkhoutbome is geplant met die hulp van rdl. El zette Nell en Deon Louw, as die kontrakteur vir die munisipaliteit. Die bome is geskenk deur verskeie lede van die gemeenskap, rdl. Nell, Bobby en Ina van Rooyen, Paul de Villiers, die Onrusbelas tingbetalersvereniging, Etienne von Wielligh, Fritz Wolmarans, Hennie Wessels, Niel Wessels, Deon Louw en Brian Bain.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Lemm’s could be a gem again Lemm’s corner can once again become the green, lively, meet and greet paradise it used to be. After years of proposals, plans and failure to uplift this beautiful corner, it seems there is hope. At the Whale Museum Trust AGM on Wednesday, it was clear that all who attended this meeting were excited about the upgrading of this piece of land, that belongs to the Friends of the Old Harbour Museum on paper, and for all visitors to enjoy. Many great ideas have come forward, and most agreed that it should be a green haven, with a few kiosks/ cottages selling specialised or artisan goodies. Lemm’s could indeed become a gem again. And as one newly established networking group in our town would say: now ‘Just get on with it!’
Dankie vir klankie Dankie vir Gansbaai se klankie in die lug. Dit betaal ons vissermanne se huise en gee kos op ons tafel. Dankie vir daai stink, want dit betaal ons kinders se skoolfondse.

Die masjiene het geen lewe meer gewys nie. Jul flinke en liefdevolle daad het my weer ’n kans op lewe gegee. Ek het behandeling van uiters hoogstaande gehalte ontvang. Baie dankie vir dit wat jul bereid is om vir elkeen van die gemeenskap te doen. Ek is trots op die hospitaal en sy personeel, en is bevoorreg om dit plaaslik te kon ervaar. Ek sou daardie dag nêrens anders wou ervaar nie. Dankie dat jul daardie dag engele in Vader se hande gewees het.

BUILDING HIS DREAM HOME: A reader sent in these photos of a Cape Weaver male, saying: “This bird is a very enthusiastic and busy builder of houses to attract a lot of nice ladies. For the building inside the birds are using soft leaves of protea flowers to make the nest very comfortable. But it seems the wives never get enough houses, so in the meantime this Cape Weaver gentleman has built nine nice houses for some attractive ladies in our garden in Chanteclair. But I think he must be very disappointed, because only two ladies are breeding! After all was finished he destroyed the other houses, which obviously the ladies did not approve of.”

Taxistaanplek ‘onooglik’
Bergsig Street a nightmare Regarding your article in this weeks Hermanus Times about the potholes in Bergsig street. (Slaggate ’n al groter kopseer, 23/10/2014): Chris Nieuwoudt is half right about the construction of the road. More than a decade ago when development started in Bergsig Street, the road was a dustbowl and the developers got together and commissioned a local contractor to seal the road. Nobody envisaged the massive development of Curro School, Hermanus Christian Acadamy and the security developments that are now in full swing at the bottom, in front of Curro. The bitumen sealer was never intended to take the heavy traffic that is now occurring. Some years ago I wrote a letter to the ward councillor with a copy to the mayor asking that a 4-way stop be installed at the crossing of Bergsig and Main Road. The answer I received was that there are no funds and that the council is waiting for the Habonim development when a circle will be built.
I suggested that they look in the scrapyard of the council where I am sure they would find some used stop signs to put up and I will donate the road paint. I never got an answer. This has now become a nightmare. In the mornings and afternoons the cars are backed up for hundreds of metres as the drivers in the Main Road will not slow down to let Bergsig traffic in, so it is a matter of taking a chance to slip in. It is so bad that those of us that live on Bergsig Road cannot get out of our gates in the mornings and also have to sit and wait for a gap. Now and then a courteous driver will let us in. There have already been some horrific accidents and there will be more, unless the council acts immediately. I am surprised that the chairperson of the ratepayers has not done something about it. I hope he reads my letter. The person who said that Sandbaai is sucking on the dry nipple was so right.

Graag wil ons iets wat nou al geruime tyd krap, ophaal. Wie is verantwoordelik vir daardie onooglike taxi-staanplek regoor die Hermanus Bottelstoor? Vir die afgelope ± 4 jaar is die plaveisel in só ’n swak toestand, raak die stene by die dag minder en die gate wat dit los, net groter. Wie betaal vir daardie water wat by die liters wegloop met die was van taxi’s, klere, moontlik ook mense? Dit wil voorkom of privaat voertuie nou ook daar gewas word. Indien ons daar parkeer, word jy genoodsaak om in die seperige gemors uit te klim wat die parkeerplekke en pad vol loop. En dan is dit ’n bymekaarkomplek van alle soorte elemente wat jou bestorm nog voordat jy behoorlik geparkeer het – natuurlik vir geld –, en dan is van hulle nog besope van die vorige dag/nag. Ons bly in die Overstrand, die mooiste, skoonste dorp, maar met die onooglikste gesig vir besoekers wanneer hulle ons dorp binnekom. Gaan iemand iets doen? Waar is wetstoepassing en munisipale amptenare wat daagliks daar verbybeweeg? Dit is regtig onaanvaarbaar!
ONAANVAARBAAR SANDBAAI
Die munisipaliteit het by navraag gesê die aangeleentheid word ondersoek.
Misdadigers arrogant, selfde kriminele keer terug ’n Klomp huise in Sandbaai het weer deurgeloop onder gewoonte-misdadigers se aanslag tot diefstal. Ons is moeg om dieselfde krimineel te vang, maar dan maak die slagoffer nie ’n saak nie en die krimineel steel weer. ’n Proaktiewe oplossing is ook nie vir Sandbaai aanvaarbaar nie, soos byvoorbeeld die oprigting van ’n heining langs die Schulphoekpad-rommelhope. Gewoontemisdadigers begin nou al so arrogant raak dat hulle die publiek wat die polisie
probeer help, vloek en skel. Dit sal voorts ’n ongesonde situasie wees sou mense die reg in eie hande wou neem. Dit sal jammer wees, want dan beland wetsgehoorsames in die tronk en die werklike kriminele lag die laaste. Hierdie probleem kan slegs deur die hof aangespreek word, nie die polisie en of gemeenskappe kan misdadigers behoorlik vonnis nie.

Appeal from lawabiding citizens, nature lovers Daily throughout the year, hundreds of families walk this beautiful scenic route with their children on tricycles, bicycles, scooters, skate boards and also dogs on leashes. However, it is becoming increasingly dangerous for pedestrians and house owners with speedsters travelling at high speeds and dog owners “running” their dogs while careering along in their cars. Positively not an acceptable way to exercise a dog in this busy area. Those who do not consider others or make no arrangements for their dogs to be “walked”, should surely be brought to book. As law-abiding citizens and nature
lovers we respectfully request: 1. Speed control signs of maximum 20 km/hour (admire the view). 2. Application of “Dogs on leashes” law. 3. Removal of dog pooh by owners. 4. The urgent completion of a pedestrian walkway from surfers’ corner to Beach Road intersection. Please pause, think and appreciate how extremely privileged we are to be able to experience this beautiful beach and peninsula. Let us work together to ensure the implementation of the above and prevent the deterioration of this wonderful natural asset.

‘This mall issue is driv ing me crazy’ I am reading the HT 23/10/2014 and this mall issue is driving me crazy. I mean, really, that people can be so selfish. I am not a business owner, neither an investor or analyst or whatever. I’m a normal hardworking member of the public. So that alone should tell you something. Have you tried to park in the CBD at the end of the month? Have you tried to do shopping on a Saturday without almost running someone over with your car? Have you gone into any retail shop and found the queue stretching from the till to the exit door? Have you been to any ATM on a Saturday morning? It is frustrating, period. Hermanus is not the small little village it used to be. It is one thing to personally keep in touch with your customers; it is a totally different thing to cling to the past and still want your milk delivered to your front door every morning in your glass bottles. So yes, we will continue to go to Somerset Mall because there is parking, it is not overcrowded and there are enough ATMs, also the shops are close to each other, so there is no congestion in the stores. There aren’t forever long queues, and on a hot day you are in a nice and cool, air-conditioned building. I rest my case.

Donate your white elephants to KAWS Kleinmond Animal Welfare Society (KAWS) is situated on the corner of Main and Protea Roads, next to the clinic. Their main concern is the welfare of cats and dogs in the area. But, next to the KAWS office is a charity shop called Cat’s Whiskers… an interesting little shop with lots of interesting things and for a bargain hunter, just the right place! The Cat’s Whiskers is a secondhand shop and the stock depends greatly on donations from people in and around the area. It is spring time, which is usually also the time for spring cleaning and getting rid of all those white elephants. But oh, what to do with them all? Bring it to KAWS of course! We will gladly rid you of those white elephants and while doing so, raise funds for a very good KAWS. The Cat’s Whiskers also opened a book shop recently and those of you who love a second-hand book need look no further. We are open Fridays: 12:00 – 17:00 and Saturdays 09:00 – 12:00.

Water bills soar after installation of new meter by Overstrand Municipality The Overstrand Municipality replaced the old water meter for our house with a new one in June 2014. My wife and I use very little municipal water because we prefer rainwater. We use, on average less than 2 000 litres a month of municipal water, a bit for the garden and the washing machine. After the new meter installation we received the municipal invoices for July and August and to our great surprise we were now accused of having used close to one hundred thousand litres of water, enough to fill a swimming pool. As I have very little piping for municipal water, 12 m of ½ inch pipe under my driveway and as the water pressure is considerable, 6-8 bar, that vast quantity of water should have washed my driveway away in front of our windows. But as the driveway is still there and not even a moist spot can be found where water might have been leaking and as coincidences rarely exist, it was obvious that the new water meter was the culprit of this fictitious water consumption. Naturally I had notified the municipality of this state of affairs, but
Warm weather is heading towards the Overstrand. It will be very hot on Sunday, when you can jump into your bathing suit and hit the beach. But, the next warm, fuzzy day will only be next Thursday again.
nothing happened until two people showed up that I thought were municipal technicians. I soon lost that notion when I saw that they had already wrecked the lid of that new meter and were now attempting to open the stopcock with a two foot shifting spanner. I had been given a proper key for that job by the chap who had installed that meter. The next municipal news came in the form of a letter delivered among the bushes next to my driveway and the bits that I managed to read despite the rain damage, threatened me with court cases if I didn’t pay forthwith a few thousand rand caused by a faulty meter. My wife and I belong to the minority of people who pay regularly for the last 15 years. I then sent an email to the municipality, again informing them of the situation. Soon thereafter we were paid a visit by two gentlemen. It was then made plain to me that I had to ask the municipality to have their meter checked at a cost of R750 if the meter proves to be not faulty. Who does the proving; the municipality, who decides on its condition and who can’t win; Ol’Nick.
The municipality reserves the right to be prosecutor and judge. I would have to hire a lawyer to begin my case, but that would be a foolish action because the municipality is able to hire the best ones for many years with my money.
NICK DEKKER DE KELDERS, GANSBAAI
Roderick Williams, Director Community Services, responds: The complaint submitted by Mr Nick Dekker (owner of Erf 471, De Kelders, Gansbaai) was investigated and handled by the Gansbaai Administration. It was discovered that the water meter on the property was replaced by the Overstrand Municipality (OM) on 14 April 2014. The owner was well aware of the reasons for this action. The average consumption registered on the property amounts to 2 kl per month for the period April 2013 to April 2014. After the new meter was installed, the average consumption increased to more than 36 kl per month (highest consumption of 64 kl registered between 4 August 2014 and 4 September 2014). The complainant refused to pay for
the registered consumption. In loco inspections (in the presence of the complainant) took place and he received written communication on the process to be followed in terms of testing of the water meter. It is important to note that the OM is not allowed to be “the prosecutor and judge” in its own affairs, as alleged by the complainant. Upon payment of the prescribed fees for having a meter tested, it is sent to an independent service provider for testing and their results are then communicated with the complainant. Very few meters were found to be inaccurate over the past few years. New meters installed are properly calibrated and certified before installation. The OM is aware of leaks that were repaired on the property under discussion by private plumbers appointed (and paid) by the owner. The owner was informed in writing on 17 October of remedial actions to be considered by himself and has failed to communicate his options to the OM to date. Actions by the Directorate: Finance to recover the outstanding payments in respect of service changes have already started
Warm dae aan‘t kom Die dynserigheid wat die afgelope week so opvallend oor die Overberg en Wes-Kaap gehang het, voorspel myns insiens ongewone warm dae wat ons vorentoe kan verwag. Die tendens het verlede week al begin toe ons hier geskryf het dat twee hoogdrukke mekaar vanuit en die noordweste en die suidooste, suid van die land wil stormloop. ’n Sterk opstuwing van vogtige lug vanuit Antarktika – sterk genoeg om hoogdrukke uitmekaar te stoot – het tussenbeide gekom en eergister was die Atlantiese hoogdruk noordwes van Gough, en die Indiese hoogdruk suidoos van Marion. Die opkomende vogtigheid oor die Skiereiland het reguit Oos-Kaap toe gemik waar dit ’n laagdruksel gevorm het en siedaar, met al die dynserigheid wat veroorsaak is deur vog en soutdeeltjies uit die see, het die sluise oopgetrek en haelstene oor die Oos-Kapenaars se koppe uitgegooi. Oor Prins Albert sommer twee emmers vir die “wolkbreuk” waarvan ons oor die nuus hoor. Leserswatniesolekkergesoutisinweerkyknie,saluiteraard wonder oor wat in die bolug aan die gang is ten opsigte van al die gerugte oor storms en natuurrampe reg oor die wêreld. Alles is deel van die son se manewales met tonge van vuur wat miljoene kilometer die lug ingeskiet word en danksy die posisie van die son teenoor moeder aarde, peper die uitstralings ons met sakke vol ongerief via internet-steurings. Die jammerte, sê oom Langfaan, is dat ons nie oor
die ongerief kan staak nie. Ons kan egter uit die verhaal van die wyse maagde leer om ons reënwatertenks gereed te hou, geute skoon hou en weerlig-afleiers te versien. Veral die sentrale binneland kan erg deurloop onder elektriese storms weens die stowwerigheid en sout in die vogtigheid wat ons kant toe kom. Hier duskant die berge van die SuidKaap, is lesers nie gewoond aan blitse en haelstorms nie, maar om die tekens in die weer te ignoreer sal beslis nie wys wees nie. Vir die huidige is daar in die komende week egter net lekker weer. Die geniepsige temperature val môre tot 13 °C, maar van 2 nm af neem die son oor wanneer daar geen dynserigheid of wolke in sy pad is nie en teen aand se kant is dit darem weer 20 °C. En so ploeter die isobare voort en kry ons eers teen Sondag weer die volle son wat die verkeersmense sal besig hou met die talle besoekers wat verwag word. Daarna sien ons die son weer aanstaande Donderdag.

Some more ideas about the proposed shopping mall To remind the writer of the H/T 23/10 article about the mall that he, when confronted, categorically stated at a recent Sandbaai ratepayers meeting, that he is in favour of the mall. He also admits in his article that the CBD is currently not working in winter. Do the landlords have a low season rental agreement in their contracts as elsewhere in the world? Look at the shortcomings of the CBD business spread, parking, pay parking, high rental and certain store shortages to name but a few. I shudder to think that buildings were erected in parking areas and now parking is going to be erected on a building. A concept that does not work to its potential at Tygervalley shopping centre or Canalwalk and failed at Noble Park. People do not like ramps, let alone pay ramps. What elderly person would want to shop and then drag this shopping in lifts or stairs to their cars and then discover that they did not pay for their parking ticket. Is this a solution to CBD park-
ing? Does that ideal also come from those who know? Business owners who think the mall could have an effect on them should consider other options while they are still ahead. The majority of people in Hermanus is in favour of a mall, the only question is when and what. Retail Africa should also keep in mind that it is not correct in keeping struggling business who may be affected in the dark, and they should at least be fair and announce their intention. It is obvious that their silence was brought on because of the appeals from the Hermanus Business Chamber. And a mention must be given that one of the appealing members has openly said that he will shop at the mall should it happen. The concept of superettes is to serve a small community with the shortcomings of their needs conveniently, which they currently manage well in Sandbaai. When Woolies opened in Sandbaai, it was also said it will have an

effect on the superettes. Superettes is a business concept that works irrespective of how many malls or supermarkets there are in the vicinity. A Game type store would certainly attract a lot of people in and around Hermanus as the majority of people cannot afford top quality products. Electrical appliances only last from five to ten years. Then, take the number of homes, not forgetting homes elsewhere, and you do the sums to how many appliances could be sold per year. Many homes in Hermanus are holiday homes and people do their shopping before they arrive and a mall certainly will also change that mindset. Should numbers lose their job in the CBD through closure, the numbers will be replaced by the opening of new business that should cancel out the figures. An estimate of 600 new jobs could be created should the mall happen and that is a good growth boost for Hermanus.

Thank you to all who supported our concert We would like to thank all the people who supported us with our concert on 19 October at Zwelihle Primary School. We thank the Hermanus Pro Musica Choir for the donation of R3 000,
Talk 2 who printed the tickets for this event and Zwelihle Primary School who sponsored the venue. The total amount that we made in that concert was R5 150. We thank the hospice too for giv-
ing us second-hand clothes for our members and community. They also gave us books to read and to hand out to the people.
NELLIE TEBELE & SIYAZAMA SERVICE CENTRE FOR ELDERLY
I would like to thank Charl and Annelien for saving my little Maltese on Friday night on the cliff path by the Windsor Hotel. It was late night when I took my Midget for a walk and she just disappeared in the dark. Annelien, standing on top of the cliff, managed to see her. My baby was already entering the sea water when I grabbed her. Thank you!

War disability pension ceased I was awarded a war disability pension from the British Government and, apart from a monthly pension, I am entitled to free medical attention for this disability. The medical expenses I incur for my injury are paid directly to my medical providers by the South African National Treasury, who in turn bill the British government. I visit a doctor twice a year for six monthly prescriptions for pain management. These prescriptions were filled on a monthly basis by a local pharmacy. In August 2013 payment for these accounts ceased with no notification or reason. I have forwarded numerous e-mails, registered letters and telephone calls to the National Treasury but to no avail. In desperation I visited the National Treasury, Pretoria in April this year. Certain
promises were made to rectify this matter but another six months down the line – zilch! I have contacted the British Army Pensions office in the UK but they are also unable to get a response from the SA National Treasury! It is now well over a year since I have received medication for my disability for which I am entitled and which greatly affects my mobility and quality of life. If any of your readers have had a similar experience, I would be grateful for any advice in solving my problem. Finally, may I thank both Dr. Wium and pharmacist Philip-Ben Kotze for their understanding whilst I attempt to get these outstanding accounts paid by the National Treasury.

NOTICE/KENNISGEWING/ISAZISO NOTICE OF PRESCRIBED BURNS: OVERSTRAND MUNICIPALITY 2014/2015 1 NOVEMBER 2014 - 30 APRIL 2015 Notice number: 67/2014 A great deal has been written about the vegetation of the Western Cape and the extraordinarily rich variety of plant species that occur here, many of them being found nowhere else. In an effort to reduce the impact of veld fires, Overstrand Fire and Disaster Management in co-operation with Overstrand Environmental Services will embark on a programme to reduce fuel loads (aged /overgrown vegetation) with the aim of improved management of controlled veld fires. Each identified prescribed block burn is dependent on seasonal and weather conditions which are conducive for the burning of firebreaks or blocks. Fire safety is of utmost importance and the programme will be adapted in order to maintain safe burning conditions. This means that each prescribed burn will be carefully assessed by a committee consisting of Overstrand Fire and Disaster, Overstrand Environmental Services, Cape Nature and Overberg Fire Protection Association. Strict criteria will be followed to ensure a safe and successful burn. Should some of these identified block burns not take place, they will stand over till the following year.

KENNISGEWING VAN BEHEERDE BRANDE: OVERSTRAND MUNISIPALITEIT 2014/2015 1 November 2014 - 30 April 2015 Kennisgewingnommer 67/2014 Die Wes-Kaap en veral die Overstrand area het ‘n groot verskeidenheid inheemse plantegroei waarvan sommige slegs in hierdie gebied groei. Die Overstrand Munisipaliteit se Brandweer en Rampbestuur in samewerking met die Overstrand Munisipaliteit se Omgewingsbestuur, moet ‘n program loods om brandlading (ou en oorgroeide plantegroei) te verminder om sodoende die impak van veldbrande te verminder en veldbrande beter te beheer. Elke geïdentifiseerde voorgeskrewe blokbrand is seisoengebonde en is afhanklik van weersomstandighede wat gunstig is vir voorbrande. Brandveiligheid is van uiterste belang en die program sal aangepas word om veilige brandtoestande te verseker. Elke voorbrand sal geassesseer word deur ‘n komitee wat uit lede van die Overstrand Munisipaliteit se Brandweer en Rampbestuur, Overstrand Munisipaliteit Omgewingsbestuur, Cape Nature en die Overberg Brandbeskermingsvereninging sal bestaan. Om ‘n veilige en suksesvolle voorbrand te verseker, sal daar aan streng kriteria voldoen word. Indien die beplande voorbrand vir ‘n sekere blok nie kan plaasvind nie, sal dit oorstaan tot die volgende jaar Dorp Bettysbaai Gansbaai Gansbaai Hermanus Fernkloof Natuurreservaat Kleinmond Natuurreservaat Kleinmond Natuurreservaat Kleinmond Kleinmond Natuurreservaat Kleinmond Kleinmond Kleinmond

STOLEN GOODS TO BE IDENTIFIED: Two suspects were arrested on 8 September in Mount Pleasant being in possession of suspected stolen property. An urgent appeal is made to the public for the identification of the items. The investigating officer, warrant officer Charl Coetzee can be contacted on 028 313 7000.
Residents and community join hands Residents of Hemel & Aarde Estate experienced problems with feral cats for some months and in desperation approached Law Enforcement for assistance. Unfortunately no cage was immediately available and it was learnt that there was only one cage available for the whole Overstrand municipal area, resulting in a wait for the cage. When the cage was finally available, three adult feral cats and five kittens had been humanely trapped and delivered to the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) where they are checked and either sterilised or put up for adoption. Eight of the residents affected by the feral cats were so grateful for the friendly and professional assistance rendered by Law Enforcement and HAWS, that they donated funds and arranged for a new cat cage to be donated to Law Enforcement to aid the service provided by Law Enforcement within the Overstrand community. The purchase of such special cages are governed by certain laws and HAWS kindly offered to facilitate the purchase of the cage. Municipalities are also governed by laws regarding the acceptance of “gifts” or donated items. Finally, after all procedures had been followed, the residents were finally able to hand over the cage. The surplus funds donated by the residents were used to purchase dog and cat food, which was donated to HAWS for their participation and role within the community. At the end of the day it was a win-win situation for all! Feral cats may carry many diseases and are able to produce 4 to 6 kittens in each litter, every 3 to 4 months! That means that each female feral cat can produce 12 to 24 kittens in one year, causing a major population explosion in the community. This story goes to show that solutions can always be found, and reaching out with a helping hand can make all the difference. Instead of merely complaining, the residents not only sought assistance, but rendered assistance to Law Enforcement and HAWS to reduce the feral cat problem in their immediate area. – Pat Bagnall

Cancer treatment for your pet

Dogs barked at Bark for Life A total of 23 dogs and their owners took part in the first Cansa Bark For Life Overstrand which was held on Saturday 25 October at Curro Hermanus. The owners of the dogs registered for this event that was held to honour people and animals lost to cancer and to raise funds for Cansa.
The Cansa Bark for Life is a way to partner with your canine best friend, smile, and make new friends, canine and human. Highlights of the day included an informative talk about dog cancers, SAPS K9 show and the best dressed pooch competition. Cansa would like to thank Curro

Cancer in domestic and companion animals has become a common occurrence. Treatment is very similar to human treatment. Dogs and cats do not become bald because they have a different type of hair follicle (their hair only grows a certain length and then stops growing, unlike human hair). Tumours are removed if possible, with a wide margin and then sent to the pathologist for identification and staging to see how far advanced the cancer is. Most cancer treatments involve drips once a week or once a month with tablets in between. Radiation therapy can also be used, but with this treatment animals need anaesthesia each time they receive treatment so it makes this mode of treatment difficult. Diet and supplements: This is one of the most important points of cancer therapy and applies to humans as well as pets. Cancer cells need sugar to get their energy requirements
whereas our normal cells can survive on protein and fats to supply their energy demands. If you limit the carbohydrate content of the diet to a small amount of complex carbohydrates, you will go a long way to suppress the growth of the cancerous cells. You must also limit the solid saturated fat in the diet and increase the oil content, especially the essential omega 3 and 6 oils. You also need to have raw antioxidants derived from berries, spinach and broccoli. Vit E & Vit C are also vital as is chelated or organic Zinc, Selenium, Manganese and Calcium in the right balance with Phosphates and in an easily absorbable form. All this will alkalise the body. Toxin intake must be limited by increasing the quality of ingredients. Derive them from organic sources - wherever possible feed them raw in a freshly juiced form especially the green vegetables. – Dr Sandy Waddingham, Hermanus Animal Hospital

Have a quick glucose test to enjoy the sweet life ) Free blood glucose finger-prick screenings at Mediclinic Hermanus on 4 November. What the Italians call ‘la dolce vita’ (the sweet or good life) is something we all aspire to, but a condition such as diabetes, especially if it is undiagnosed, can seriously curtail our enjoyment thereof. What’s frightening is that there’s a marked increased in the number of people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, which is primarily linked to lifestyle choices and the obesity epidemic sweeping the globe. It’s estimated that
347 million people worldwide have diabetes, 90% of which have type 2 diabetes. Closer to home, 3,5 million South Africans – roughly 6%of the population – live with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes with many cases going undiagnosed until complications develop. Diabetes complications are serious and include heart disease, stroke, blindness, amputations and kidney failure. In most cases, these complications could have been avoided entirely by early diagnosis and proper treatment. You’re at increased risk for type 2 diabetes if: . You’re 35 or older
. You’re overweight . You exercise less than 150 minutes (2½ hours) per week . You’re slender, but have excess belly fat . You have a family history of obesity or type 2 diabetes . You follow a diet high in fats and sugar, or have high blood pressure . You’re of Indian descent Are you at increased risk for diabetes? Keep an eye out for these signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes: . Excessive thirst, blurred vision . Itching and skin infections
15
. Recurrent bladder infections . Excessive urination . Constant hunger . Tiredness Remember the earlier your diabetes is diagnosed and treated, the better. To support the Diabetes Awareness Month campaign in November, Mediclinic hospitals will be offering free blood glucose finger-prick screenings to all members of the community throughout the month. Testing will take place at Mediclinic Hermanus on 4 November. For more information visit www.mediclinic.co.za.

Fynbos Community Foundation auction in aid of needy children includes classic cars and furniture The Fynbos Community Foundation is hosting one of the biggest charity auctions, with donations received to be auctioned off ranging from furniture to old classic cars – fifteen cars in total thus far. The auction will be held on Saturday 8 November at 11:00 at the Village Green, Main Road, Stanford. Items will be available for viewing on Friday 7 November at 10:00 at the same venue. Items up for auction include a 1966 Ford Anglia, a 1973 Chev Firenza, a Jurgens caravan, a Beach Buggy, mountain bikes, an Imbuia dining room table with chairs and Oregon pine beds.

from the Hopeland (RDPhousing) area on the outskirts of Stanford. Around R250 000 was raised in June with a 1 000 km cycle challenge undertaken by Koos and Joanie Smith of the foundation. The foundation has until the end of November to raise the balance. The organisers expressed their gratitude towards all their sponsors for this auction. The committee is, however, appealing for more donations such as second-hand cars and furniture for the auction. They are hoping to have at least twenty vehicles to auction off, and they would also like to have at least fifty pieces of furniture to offer for sale, as well as any other items of value.

“Unsupervised children from impoverished areas face many social problems,” says Koos Smith, chairperson of the Fynbos Community Foundation. “Too many children in poor areas drop out of the school system because of these difficult circumstances. “The Hopeland Project has been initiated to give hope to these children, and to enable them to reach their full potential. “ The centre the Foundation hopes to make a reality with funds from the auction will be a supervised, safe and caring environment where children will receive a proper lunch, take part in various programmes, but more importantly, get help with their homework as well as additional learner support.” The Fynbos Community Foundation, a registered non-profit organisation, also runs the Fynbos Academy on Langverwacht Farm in the Papiesvlei area, which caters for about 60 learners. A vegetable garden has been established at Langverwacht to provide fresh vegetables for the learners. This garden will also supply the Hopeland Centre in future. The Hopeland Project committee includes a medical doctor, a clinic sister, a nutritional expert and other members with training in art, music and sport. There are also experts in policing, finance and a representative of Badisa, a social-services organisation that provides professional services in child protection and youth development.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD: “Here I am waiting for the traffic light to change. Just for the record: We are free range in the sense that not one of us has ever headed for the dinner table. Any relocation is done to animal lovers or vegetarians. We have squatter rights. Despite formal housing we pre fer to sleep in trees and make our nests in bushes. The dogs (not allowed to chase) have shiny coats. We are also trained athletes eg. from a standing position we can jump a six foot fence into the vegetable garden, where Dumpy, the gardener, harasses us because he was promised a new cellphone if he could make the garden “fowlproof”. Haha. Thank you all. Love, Hennie de Haan, Onrus Padstal. PS: Greetings to the horses of Fisherhaven.”

Algemeen General
30 October, 2014
A bird identification course for novice and intermediate birdwatchers will be presented on 31 October and 1 November. This course is a fundraiser for conservation projects such as the development of an African Penguin and seabirds rehabilitation centre at Kleinbaai and the Fynbos birds research project. A new addition to the course is a section focusing on the differences between the various families of LBJs and other confusing species, as well as birds of prey, and how this applies to the Overstrand region.

NATURE MATTERS: It’s Garden Acraea season again. Garden ers are concerned that their wild peach trees are being decimated by caterpillars. Fear not: they are adapted to the cycle and will suffer no longterm harm. The leaves of the Wild Peach (Kigga laria africana) contain cyanide as a defence against being eaten by insect larvae – except one. The caterpillar of the Garden Acraea butterfly (Acraea horta) has evolved to eat the leaves without harm as it can store the cyanide in its body, safeguard ing both caterpillar and adult Acraea from predation by birds – except for Klaas’ Cuckoo, which has evolved to eat the Acraea.

Rondomskrik in Bredasdorp Rondomskrik, geïspireer deur die grusame verkragting van en moord op Anene Booysen in Februarie 2013, word op Saterdag 1 November by De Heide-skoolsaal, Golfstraat in Bredasdorp om 19:00 opgevoer. Hierdie toneelstuk, gebaseer is op die lewe van Anene, is geskryf deur Rachelle Greeff en het verskeie toekennings ontvang. Die teks is om die beurt ontstellend en snaaks maar fokus uiteindelik op die mense, op die tragedie, en hoe ons kan help dat ons kinders/gemeenskappe wel hul potensiaal kan bereik deur net vir hulle ’n bietjie meer aandag te gee en in hulle te glo. Rondomskrik het ’n droom-rolverdeling: Shaleen Surtie Ri-
chards as Jasmien Jacobs, Crystal Donna Roberts as Antjie Fortuin, Lee-Ann van Rooi en Richard September wat elk onderskeidelik 4 en 7 karakters speel. Die spelers, asook die skrywer, word nie vir dié optrede betaal nie, omdat hulle dit sien as ’n bydrae tot Bredasdorp se gemeenskap.

Meet the new Junior Town Council JANINE VAN DER RIET The Overstrand Junior Town Council inauguration was held on Thursday at the municipal auditorium. With the hall packed with parents, headmasters and teachers from the respective schools in the area, mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie awarded the outgoing junior town council with certificates of merit and welcomed the new junior town council for 2014/2015. Quoting from renowned poet Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet, Botha-Guthrie revisited a couple of truths about the relationship between the young and the old in her welcoming message to all present: “Children are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts.” Nontuthuzelo Unity Mtomile, manager of the junior town council, thanked the municipality and the Enlighten Education Trust for their cooperation and assistance throughout the year. “The junior town council was formed eleven years ago. Since then, the young leaders learned more about leadership skills, service delivery, in service training, community service, with the prime focus being on needy children, the youth, the elderly and the environment.” During the evening, Dané Laing, an employee at the municipality, sang a solo whereafter Hope Botes, a learner at Northcliff House College, entertained the guests performing a song while playing on her acoustic guitar. Sonwabile Calata, the outgoing junior mayor, reported on their

Uitmuntende naverkoopdiens is sleutel NISSAN HERMANUS Van tegnikus tot nasionale diensbestuurder by Nissanhoofkantoor in Pretoria, tot eienaar van Hermanus Nissan. Dit was in kort die paadjie wat Barend van Heerden geloop het voordat hy sowat ’n jaar en ’n half gelede Hermanus Nissan oorgekoop het, en hom vanjaar permanent in Hermanus kom vestig het. En met die verantwoordelikheid as nasionale diensbestuurder voorheen by hoofkantoor, is dit seker net logies dat klante niks minder as die beste diens by Nissan Hermanus gaan kry nie. Barend sien dit ook as ’n gesinsbesigheid met sy vrou, Karin, wat by die tak as boekhouer werk. Vir Barend is dit baie belangrik dat jy as eienaar jou besigheid self moet bestuur. “Enige besigheid gaan oor diens en passie. In die motorbedryf is alle voertuie deesdae goed, en gaan dit nie meer oor bloot ’n goeie of slegte voertuig nie. Dis juis hoekom jou diens, en veral jou na-verkoopdiens, so be-
25
langrik is.” Barend is ’n man wat oop is vir kritiek en hy neem dit nie persoonlik op nie. “Al wat jy kan opbou, is iets wat jy kan regmaak. Dis ook krities om te besef dat die belangrikste bate van jou besigheid jou kliënte is. Sonder hulle het jy nie ’n besigheid nie.” Barend nooi almal uit om ’n draai te maak by Hermanus Nissan. “Jy hoef nie eens noodwendig belang te stel om ’n nuwe voertuig aan te skaf nie. Al wil jy net ’n koppie koffie kom drink, is jy meer as welkom.”

Ford commits to the environment The Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) announced the establishment of the Ford Wildlife Foundation (FWF) recently, as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability. FMCSA will continue with its excellent work that has benefited South African organisations for the last 24 years. The foundation will continue to receive financial support from FMCSA, and Ford vehicles will be provided to partner organisations nominated by Ford and the FWF board. “I’m delighted to announce that we have formed the Ford Wildlife Foundation,” said Jeff Nemeth, CEO and president of Ford Motor Company of South Africa and Sub-Saha-
ran Africa. “Since FMCSA started its environmental work in 1990, our efforts have helped support over 150 high-priority environmental education and conservation projects around South Africa and we wanted to ensure that legacy continues in the future.” The Endangered Wildlife Trust, The Wildlife & Environment Society of SA, Birdlife SA, the Association of Marketers, WWF, and the American Chamber of Commerce have in the past all recognised the programme for its contributions. To date, FMCSA has invested more than R30 million into its environmental work, for projects spanning education, conservation, and research.

7SPEED DSG TRANSMISSION: KOMBI THE BEST SELLING DERIVATIVE
VW builds reliable T5 Kombi
QUICKPIC
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has expanded its popular people mover model range with the introduction of the 7-speed DSG transmission into the Kombi 103 kW engine derivative. Until now, the 7-speed DSG transmission was only available with the long wheel based Kombi Comfortline and Transporter Crew Bus. Kombi is the best selling derivative in the T5 model range. Over 21 380 T5 units have been sold in South Africa since its local introduction in 2004 and about 8 600 of those units were Kombis. With the introduction of the 7-speed DSG transmission, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles aim to attract customers that are looking for a powerful yet affordable Kombi with an automatic transmission. Customers have a choice of Trendline and Comfortline equipment lines. Kombi is designed to comfortably sit up to seven passengers and a driver. It is an ideal people mover that can be used as a family car for long distance travelling or for hotel shuttle services. It is available in two different body lengths, short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offers the Kombi, registered for a maximum of eight people, both with a normal body (shortwheelbase) and a 40 centimetre longer body (long-wheelbase), as well as two individual seats at the front, a 2-seat bench and separate seat in the first row and a 3-seat bench in the second row.
The seventh gear has been designed as an overdrive which means it has a particularly long ratio.
PHOTO: QUICKPIC
The Kombi meets exacting requirements in terms of equipment and comfort. This can be seen right from the standard “Climatic” air conditioning, the two-shell roof headlining and sun roller blinds on the side windows of the passenger area. The comfort aspect is also attended to by sophisticated details such as grab handles with soft return. The 3-seat bench with threepoint seatbelts for all seats allows the interior to be used in a particu-
larly flexible way. The height-adjustable front seats (only for the driver seat in Trendline) have armrests, whilst electric windows, central locking with remote control and the “High” instrument cluster make operation even easier. In terms of looks, it makes an even more elegant impression with its bumpers, exterior mirror housings (side mirrors unpainted in Trendline) and door handles painted in body colour. The 2.0 litre 103 kW common rail
turbodiesel engine develops a respectable torque of 340 Newton metres. It reaches its maximum torque at 2500 rpm. It has a top speed of 172 km/h. The 0-100 km/h sprint is achieved in 10.2 seconds. With an average fuel of consumption 8 litres per 100 kilometres, there will be few stops at the fuel stations. The 7-speed DSG combines the comfort levels of a conventional automatic gearbox with the efficiency of a manual box. The DSG

is as economical as it is convenient, and opens up a new dimension in gearshift agility. Gearshifts are performed within a few hundredths of a second, without any interruption in traction. The seventh gear has been designed as an overdrive - which means it has a particularly long ratio. On the motorway, this reduces engine speed and therefore consumption, emissions and noise. The maximum speed is reached in the sixth gear in each case. Kombi can be customised with a number of functional and convenient optional features. These optional features include tilt/slide sunroof, detachable tow bar, 17inch Thunder alloy wheels, park distance control (rear and front), comfort packages (cruise control, front fog lights and multifunction steering wheel; light and rain sensor, auto dimming rear view mirror and electrically foldable mirrors) and a communications package (leather multifunction steering wheel, RCD 310 CD/Radio with Aux-In socket and Bluetooth cellphone preparation).

Meer swier vir Suzuki se Grand Vitara Summit QUICKPIC Suzuki Auto Suid-Afrika het die Summitweergawe van die gewilde Grand Vitarasportnutsvoertuig opgeknap. Die sierrooster, wat nou met ’n donkersilwer kleur spog, is die mees ooglopende verandering, terwyl die allooiwiele van 18 duim ook in donkersilwer afgewerk is. Boonop word die dakrelings nou silwer geverf. Binne kry die stuurwiel, die instrumentrame, die luguitlate en die ratkierieknop sjampanjekleurige aksente, terwyl die deurpanele met gestikte doekstof versier is. Die bekleedsel van die sitplekke is ook nuut, en koppel doekstof vir die sitkussings aan sykussings met stroke van Sweedse leer. Die Grand Vitara Summit bly meganies onveranderd, en word dus steeds deur ’n lewendige viersilinder-petrolenjin van 2,4 liter aangedryf. Kopers kan tussen ’n vyfgang-hand-
ratkas en ’n outomatiese viergangratkas kies. Die maksimum-kraglewering beloop 122 kW by 6 000 r/min, gekoppel aan ’n wringkragsyfer van 225 Nm by 4 000 r/min. ’n Unieke kenmerk in dié segment is die Grand Vitara se vierwiel-aandryfstelsel, wat met ’n laestrek-ratkas toegerus is, en dus vir uitmuntende veldryvermoë sorg. ’n Volledige lys standaardtoerusting bevestig die Grand Vitara Summit se vlagskipstatus. Onder die hoogtepunte tel afstandbeheerde sentrale sluiting, lugversorging, kragstuur, elektries beheerde ruite, ’n klankstelsel met skyfspeler en vier luidsprekers, en togsnelheidsbeheer. Veiligheid word ook deeglik aangespreek deur middel van dubbele lugsakke voor, rukstop-sitplekgordels, nekstutte, en ABS-sluitweerremme met elektroniese remverspreiding en noodrembystand.

28 HermanusTimes Vehicle myth busters every woman should know 30 October, 2014
As we celebrate women this month, Les Mc Master, Chairman of the Motor Industry Workshop Association (MIWA), shares some important myth busters every woman should be aware of. Storage Compartment: It’s a car... not an extension of the wardrobe! The more weight you’re carrying around, the more fuel you’re using, and therefore, the more it’s going to cost you! Assign one day a week to empty out the contents of your car. Just think, with what you save on wasted petrol you could end up with enough for a whole new wardrobe! Checking your oil and water levels is definitely one thing that you should not put off: Basically, if your car runs out of oil, the engine will have no lubrication, seize up and die, leaving you with a car that doesn’t work and a hefty mechanic’s bill. Checking your oil once a month can prevent this. Make sure
your car has been stopped for five minutes or so (the engine turned off), open the bonnet, pull out the dipstick from the engine then wipe and replace it, before pulling it out again - the oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. If it’s not, then it’s time to top up. Having your air-con on uses more fuel than opening the window: Ever heard the common myth that having your air-con turned on uses more fuel than opening the window? At most speeds, if the car window is open, the coefficient drag is enough to make your car work harder thus using more fuel. In fact, it uses about the same amount of fuel as having your air-con turned on. Seat upright close to steering wheel position: Sitting in an upright position close to the steering wheel is not a wise position as it inhibits the amount of movement that is required to safely manage the controls. Female
drivers are prone to adopting this position as they need to see the nose of the vehicle for accurate measurement of distances. Adopt a more reclined position with your arms at a comfortable “v’” shape i.e. slightly extended and not an “L” shape with your elbows tucked up against your sides. Changing Tyres or getting a flat: Putting the gear lever into “park” won’t stop the vehicle from moving and falling off the jack, once lifted. If you have passengers on-board, have them get out, and apply the handbrake as tight as it will go. Switch the engine off. Open the boot and ensure that the spare wheel is at hand before undoing the wheel, as I’ve seen many a rear end of a vehicle in the air with wheels off and the driver unable to get to the spare wheel in the boot. The biscuit wheel is an emergency wheel and cannot be used indefinitely. Have the flat repaired immediately. Stockings do not make a good replacement for a fan belt:
BOLAND Auto Sold
Unless you’re driving a 1969 Ford Escort, stockings do not make a good replacement for a fan belt. Modern motor vehicles have a serpentine belt which drives all the moving components attached to the engine and pantyhose stockings will not be able to drive these components. Make time to understand how the serpentine belt works. Clutch riding: Keeping your foot on the clutch while driving will not help you change gears more smoothly. The thrust bearing is being overworked by constant pressure from the fingers of the pressure plate, which will ruin the thrust bearing and cause clutch failure. Remember to regularly get your vehicle serviced: It’s far more cost effective and less dangerous to maintain your vehicle rather than waiting for a part to break and then replacing it. “Don’t be afraid to ask questions about your vehicle and what is being done during a service and always use a reputable workshop,” advises Mc Master.

Personalisation design concept for new MG3 QUICKPIC
X1PCNLLD-DP301014
MG’s original British design traits have been reinforced with the unveiling of the MG3 personalisation design concept. The latest design concept of the new supermini that was launched in South Africa in August, was displayed at Superbrands London as part of the London Design Week, held last month. Created by MG Designer Louise Thorburn, the concept display car joined the latest three designs in the MG3 personalisation range. Buyers MG3 can choose their own personal design for the car, and also add a range of accessories. “Although the full range of the one million combinations might not be for the taste of South African customers, buyers of the new MG3 are able to personalise their purchase to such an extent that it would for all practical reasons be totally unique on South African roads,” says MG South Africa’s general manager for CMH Brands, Derrick Bishop. Thorburn, a recent graduate of the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design at the Dundee University, is the latest addition to the MG Design team. After various magazine features and exhibiting her graduate work at the London New Designers Exhibition two years ago, Thorburn completed two internships – one at MG and the other at iconic shoe designer Jimmy Choo – before returning to MG as colour and materials designer. MG3 personalisation options have already been phenomenally successful for the British brand – now built by SAIC in China and Thailand – as over 40% of orders since the super mini’s global launch last year, have featured at least one specified design addition. All current options can been seen on the MG3 configurator at www.mg.co.uk/mg3/ configurator. The MG3 benefits from exceptional interior and boot space, class leading chassis and driving dynamics and high levels of equipment on all specifications as standard. The flagship MG3 STYLE was introduced at R179 900. Two more models, the mid-range MG3 WIRED (depending on the exchange rate, pricing will be around R165 000) and the entry-level MG3 (around R145 000) are expected in local showrooms in November.

Updates to Mitsubishi Pajero keep icon at the top QUICKPIC With its roots set deeply in the world of rallying and having set the bar over several decades as one of the world’s most formidable off-roaders, the Mitsubishi Pajero has received a number of updates based on customer feedback and market trends. “We know we have a winning formula with Pajero,” comments Mitsubishi Motors South Africa COO, Wynand Pretorius. “Pajero remains the epitome of ultimate off-road ability meeting urban comfort and practicality, and with its latest updates we will appeal to more trend-conscious customers. The great news is that the retail price of the new 2015 model derivatives starts at R569 900, offering unbeatable value when compared to similar competitor vehicles retailing around the R750 000 mark.” The iconic Pajero, which to this day still holds a record twelve wins (seven of them consecutive) at the infamous Dakar Rally, continues as a pukka 4x4 SUV with no compromise on off-road ability, passenger comfort and safety – famous for proven reliability, durability, longevity, performance and being the perfect partner for any adventure. The 2015 model year Pajero range, which continues to include both short and long-wheelbase derivatives all powered by Mitsubishi’s proven 3.2-litre DI-D turbocharged diesel engine, now features a number of cosmetic enhancements. A new grille and bumper design with bulky proportions emphasise Pajero’s might off the beaten track,
giving it a modern-day appearance without changing its distinctive iconic and hallmark looks, honed through the decades. Incorporated in the front bumper are switchable LED daytime running lights, while the bumper’s design still allows for class-leading approach and departure angles. New alloy wheels, different for each derivative, further emphasise the distinct side profile of the Pajero. A newly designed and sturdier new spare wheel cover on the LWB derivatives now covers the entire spare wheel whilst giving the vehicle a more modern look from the rear as well. On the inside, the standard rear view camera now displays its picture on the infotainment system interface, and automatic headlight dimming is now available on all derivatives. Comprising the SWB GLS, LWB GLS and the LWB GLS Exceed, the simplified new 3-model Pajero range embodies the ‘we race, you win’ mentality behind the Mitsubishi brand and the incomparable Dakar legacy, which made the brand globally famous for its quality, performance and reliability. As such, all Pajero models offer fully-fledged four-wheel drive systems, which include centre and rear differential locks (viscous couplings), and Mitsubishi’s unique Super Select 4WD system. Super Select 4WD includes an easy-to-use manual shift lever which allows the driver to choose between four drive modes. The 2H mode is most suitable for town driving, where only the rear
Fuel requirements have also been designed to meet varying needs and as such all Pajero models are able to safely operate on 500 ppm diesel when necessary. PHOTO: QUICKPIC wheels are driven, offering enhanced fuel economy and manoeuvrability. In 4H mode and with shifton-the-fly available at speeds up to 100 km/h, all four wheels are engaged for greater control. The rear diff lock can be engaged manually by means of a switch, according to driver needs and environment demands. The 3.2 litre DI-D common-rail direct injection turbocharged diesel engine produces 140 kW at 3 800 rpm and 441 Nm at 2 000 rpm with power transferred to the wheels via a silkysmooth 5-speed automatic gearbox with manual override functionality. Fuel requirements have also been designed to meet varying needs and as such all Pajero models are able to safely operate on 500 ppm diesel when necessary.

Emphasising on and off-road comfort and bestowing Pajero with its impeccable on-road manners especially, rear suspension remains an independent setup, which not only ensures bumps and undulating surfaces are smoothed out, but improved off-road capabilities are also enabled where extended wheel travel plays an important role. Towing capacity is impressive at 3 300 kg (braked) and ground clearance remains a generous 235 mm. Standard features include electric windows all-round with onetouch anti-trapping functionality for all windows, privacy glass, a sliding front arm rest with two storage levels, reclining rear seats and an extra two in the LWB (7 in total) which are stowed neatly in the boot floor. Leather upholstery, electric and

heated front seats, the rear view camera, rear parking sensors, variable intermittent windscreen wipers, front and rear fog lights, the LED daytime running lights, black roof rails, mud flaps, a multi-function steering wheel, Bluetooth, voice control, cruise control, automatic climate control, rear air conditioning control (LWB only), and a radio/CD/MP3 touch screen audio system with USB and aux support are also standard on all derivatives. The range-topping LWB GLS Exceed model raises the bar with a 12speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, HID xenon headlights with washers, 18-inch alloy wheels, an electric sliding/tilting panoramic sunroof and a wood/leather combination steering wheel for an added touch of luxury. Safety equipment remains of high standards, all models featuring ABS with EBD and BAS, ASTC (Active Stability and Traction Control), six airbags, an immobiliser and alarm, and remote central locking. Mitsubishi’s RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) chassis and body construction is also employed, ensuring a rigid chassis and impactabsorbing body structure which saw the Pajero receive a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating. All Pajero models are sold as standard with a 3-year/ 100 000 km warranty and a 5-year/ 100 000 km maintenance plan, with service intervals every 10 000 km. * New Mitsubishi Pajero Retail Price incl.

DOGS do double duty The DOGS played an Individual Stableford (Log) / 4BBB on 28 October, and thanks to two ideas from Mr Bojangles (who incidentally owns two pubs), the DOGS have now started playing two different competitions each week. As if hitting one ball is not difficult enough, some of the more intellectually challenged thought that hitting two balls and filling in two cards would over-complicate matters. It will make things even worse when the two competitions are played on two different courses. There were even two winners of the main event with Mr Security just pipping The Star of David – counted in on the last hole (pity it wasn’t the last two). He also

Tuesday on ladies day saw 37 players compet ing in an individual bogey plus. Winning the silver division, really on top of her game, was Lynne Behagg. Playing off a 4 handicap, she scored a +6, which equates to a gross 2 under par. Brilliant golf indeed. Winning the bronze division was a regular Innes van Der Plas with a terrific +9. I am sure this was a personal best. Our victor in the copper division was Jackie MacDonald on +5. The la dies certainly put the course to the sword this week. Wednesday was men’s day, this week with a betterball bogey plus and a near capacity field of 115 players. The winners this week were Willie Theron and Trevor Schouw on an unbelievable +14. Ian Pansegrouw and Tinus van Niekerk followed on a point behind. The two best individual scores this week be longed to Ian Pansegrouw and Willie Theron both with nett 63s. There were no recorded 2 clubs, which will be carried over. Saturday was a betterball stableford and I al so had the pleasure of playing. It was a great day, even though the wind really got up to a mild zephyr in the afternoon. Well played Gerrie du Plooy, and thanks to Danie van Der Spuy, and especially John Reyn ell for the entertainment, the 15th hole was un forgettable. Our kings and queens of the wind were Adre Smit and Roydon Pybus with a great 49 points on the East course, also on 49 points on the South course were Bill McGeachy and John At kinson and winning the North course were the two Sue’s, Sue Mills and Sue Garlick with 47 points. There were 6 two clubs and the ball pool paid to 46. HOLEINONE: The day, though, belonged to Sarel Ackermann who managed a holein one on the 21st hole. A brilliant feat in itself, but if you take into account he had a holeinone two weeks ago on the same hole using the same club, wow, that’s worth shouting about! A note from the club is that owing to demand, the club will now be opening up the third nine for electronic bookings on competition days.

ALLGIRL TEAM: BOLAND, WP COLOURS
Horse riders excel Three learners from Hermanus High School, namely Grace Page, Tayla Gordon and Roxanne Marais, took part in several of the South African National Equestrian Association competitions this year.
CHAMPION: Keagen Seal (left) of Legacy Martial Arts Academy in Hermanus repre sented South Africa at the Junior World Kickboxing Championship recently in Rimini, Italy. Keagan reached the quarter finals in both his fighting modes, fighting against Ita ly and Hungary. Keagan is now ranked 5th in the world in his weight category. The jun ior South African kickboxing team also per formed excellently, bringing home two silver and four bronze medals. With Keagan is his instructor, shihan Ruehan van Romburgh.
They rode at numerous shows in various levels to qualify for Boland, which they all did. The trio then went on to all qualify and compete for Western Cape in the South African Champs in Johannesburg in October. All three girls were placed in classes in various disciplines in Johannesburg.
The overall results saw them win the trophy for the highest accumulated points, in the category of 3-8 participants. Grace Page went on to win the trophies for the highest score in dressage for Boland and also the highest score for working riding in Boland. Grace also represented Boland as vice-captain for 2014. The riders each put in an average of 12 to 16 hours of training per week. So much training and bonding goes into competing on horseback, as it is a rider and animal combination that makes the sport unique.
Grace Page won the trophy for the highest score in dres sage as well as the highest score for working riding in the Boland.
