Genoeg is genoeg: Vakansiegangers pak op

www.overstrandherald.co.za

Gerard Grobler KLEINMOND – Die Louw gesin van Somerset-Wes het vandeesweek besluit om hul vakansie hier kort te knip en eerder huiswaarts te keer. Dit was nadat hulle die afgelope week drie keer die teiken van inbrekers was. Mnr.Johannes Louw sê hulle hou al meer as tien jaar lank by Meerenvlei, langs die strandmeer, vakansie en so het dit nog nooit gegaan nie.

Hy vertel dat dit eers ‘n groep van tussen twintig en dertig kinders uit Proteadorp was wat hul vakansie versuur het. Die kinders, sommige van wie rooi gekleurde hare gehad het, was daagliks in die omgewing. Hulle het die voetbrug oor die lagune verskeie kere beskadig deur die

relings af te breek, sodat hulle van die brug af in die water kon spring. Die munisipaliteit het by minstens twee geleenthede die brug moes kom herstel.

Praat jy die kinders aan, vertel Louw, word jy uitgevloek en is hulle aggressief. Die groep het ook kinders wat met kano’s op die strandmeer geroei het, gemolesteer en in sommige gevalle die bootjies vasgehou,terwyl daar kinders in was en oor die algemeen ‘n oorlas van hulself gemaak. Dit was egter maar net die begin, sê Louw.

Verlede Woensdagaand het hul by familielede in die huisie langsaan gaan braai.

Hul twee kinders was reeds (vervolg op bl 3)

Overstrand Herald (vervolg van bl 2) in hul kamer aan die slaap. Terwyl hulle gebraai het, het inbrekers deur die kinders se slaapkamervenster geklim en ‘n skootrekenaar, tablet, T-hemde, ‘n gereedskapkis, ‘n fiets en ‘n sak duiktoerusting gesteel. Asof dit nie genoeg was nie, vertel hy, word hulle omstreeks 04:00 die Saterdagoggend wakker van ‘n lawaai. Wrintiewaar, toe is iemand besig om by ‘n sleepwa wat digby hul huisie staan, in te breek. Louw het die inbrekers agterna gesit en hulle het verkas na die Melkboombos digby die Sandown Blues restaurant. Dit is toe dat Louw die polisie bel. Hy sê ‘n vroulike polisieman antwoord die foon, maar weet nie waarvan hy praat nie. Toe hy verduidelik dat hy in die omgewing van die ou hotel wat afgebrand het, staan, wis sy glo nie waar dit is nie. Toe hy vra of sy weet waar Palmiet is, sê die polisievrou glo dit val onder Onrus so hy moet maar die polisie op Hermanus bel. Niemand daag uiteraard op nie en die skelms is natuurlik vort. Maar nog (vervolg op bl 4)

Die draadheining tussen die dagkamp en die Meerenvlei huisies is intussen ook tot niet. (vervolg van bl 3) was dit einde niet. Sondagnag word Louw se vrou wakker en kyk deur die venster. Toe is daar ‘n knaap besig om die skroef van hul boot, wat buite staan, te probeer afskroef. Louw sê die hele gedoente was een te veel vir hulle. Iemand sal iets moet doen of anders gaan mense doodgewoon net nie meer by Meerenvlei kom vakansie hou

nie.

Hy sê afgesien van sy rare ondervinding met die polisievrou die Saterdagoggend, was die optrede van die polisie andersins flink en professioneel en wil hy hulle graag bedank vir hul hulp. Ander permanente inwoners van die Meerenvlei huisies asook vakansiegangers het die gebeure teenoor die Herald bevestig.

It is with great pleasure that it can be said Kleinmond has four students attending the threemonth training programme at Chrysalis Academy, Tokai.

On Saturday, 10 January 2015, four young men registered to partake in this life-changing programme... They are: 1) Erno Adams 2) Riaan Lewis 3) Marc Olivier 4) Basil Swartz We want to wish them all the best.

The programme will

be extremely tough and will require them to participate fully.

However we know that they will be successful and on 04 April 2015, all four will graduate and look forward to starting a new chapter of their lives.

If there are any other young people interested in this programme, please visit Child Welfare South Africa: Kleinmond office (028) 271 4044 or SAPS Kleinmond (028) 271 8200 for application forms.

PLEASE HELP US FIND OUR DOG! 13 Jan approx 2:45pm we walked our tan staffie (Tammy) on the rocks/fynbos in Dolphin Drive, Betty’s Bay. She ran ahead and we have since been unable to find her. We are hoping that she found her way through to the houses.

Juffrou Carla laat ‘n groot leemte KLEINMOND – Dis vanselfsprekend dat wanneer iemand bykans 20 jaar by ‘n plek gewerk het, dat hulle gemis sal word wanneer hulle uittree of weggaan. Wanneer daardie iemand egter iemand soos Carla Botes is, gaan die gemis soveel dieper. Dan is dit nie net haar familie en naaste vriende wat hierdeur geraak word nie, maar die hele gemeenskap, leerders en voormalige leerders van Laerskool Kleinmond en hul ouers.

Juffrou Carla, soos leerders haar sedert 1997 by die laerskool geken het, is op 5 Januarie vanjaar aan kanker oorlede.

Dié aggressiewe kanker is aan die einde van Oktober 2014 by haar gediagnoseer en het as lewerkanker gemanifesteer.

Carla het verkies om nie chemoterapie en bestraling te ondergaan nie en om die siekte met ‘n gesonde dieet, natuurlike produkte en ‘n sterk geloof te beveg.

Juffrou Carla het in 1997, toe Marike gr. 2 toe gegaan het, haar dienste gratis kom aanbied by die skool, sodat die 18 leerders van daardie klas meer individuele aandag kon kry.

Mettertyd is sy darem betaal en kon honderde kinders van ons dorp die voorreg hê deur die hande van hierdie saggeaarde blonde vrou wat nooit hard gepraat het nie, te gaan. Dit

was juis hierdie karaktertrek van haar wat kinders na haar toe aangetrek het. Haar rustige manier van skoolhou en praat het leerders kalmeer en gemaak dat hulle boonop geleer het dat skoolgaan lekker kan wees.

Carla was die trotse ma van ‘n seun en skoondogter, twee dogters en ‘n kleindogter. André en sy gesin woon op Bettysbaai, terwyl Marike die afgelope paar maande weer tuis kom woon het. Ninke woon op Stellenbosch.

Christo Blom, die man met wie Carla op Saterdag 10 Januarie in die huwelik sou tree, het haar tot op die einde liefderyk en met groot deernis versorg.

Hy sê dit was ‘n voorreg om so na aan so werklik wonderlike diep geestelike mens te lewe.

Op Sondag 4 Januarie vertel Christo, was Carla teen die namiddag baie moeg en het sy baie pyn gehad. Die ambulans is ontbied en sy is na die Worcester provinsiale hospitaal geneem.

Carla is omstreeks 06:00 op Maandag 5 Januarie dood. Daar word vermoed dat sy die vorige dag ‘n groot hartaanval gehad het.

Met haar begrafnis op 10 Januarie was die NG kerk op die dorp vol mense wat kom eer betoon en afskeid neem het van ‘n vrou wat soveel lewens met sagtheid en liefde aangeraak het.

Verskeie inbrake aangemeld Die nuwe jaar het op ‘n lae noot begin met verskeie in-brake (geforseerde toegang) sowel as vele ander voorvalle van opportunistiese diefstal (ongeforseerde toegang). Die helfte van die voorvalle het in Palmiet plaasgevind en die meeste van die ander, aan die seekant van Hoofweg. Die polisie het wel ‘n paar verdagtes in hegtenis geneem. KSW lede word daaraan herinner dat die vaagheid van hierdie misdaadverslae die gevolg is van SAPD beleid, wat bepaal dat geen gedetailleerde inligting gepubliseer mag word

nie. (Uitgereik deur die KSW) The new year has started badly with several burglaries (forced entry) last week and many incidents of opportunistic theft (unforced entry). Half of the incidents took place in Palmiet with most of the rest occurring on the sea side of Main Road.

The Police arrested a few suspects. KSW members are reminded that this crime report is intentionally rather vague because SAPS policy prevents KSW from publishing detailed information about crime.

Skurke wil glo wilde perde steel KLEINMOND – Daar is glo vroeër vandeesmaand probeer om van Kleinmond se wilde perde te steel. Ons verstaan dat daar in die eerste week van Januarie ‘n voertuig wat ‘n perde-sleepwa gesleep het, by Rooisand gewaar is. Twee mans is afgelaai wat voer vir die perde neergesit het. Daar was ‘n groep perde digby. Toe die perde naderkom om te vreet is een van hulle glo gevang met ‘n tou. Sy het gelukkig daarin geslaag om los te breek. Na bewering is die hele gedoente gade geslaan deur vissermanne op ‘n boot in die lagune. Hullle het op die mans geskreeu wat toe terug

na hul voertuig en dadelik vort is. Die volgende dag is die perd met die tou om haar nek gewaar en daar is probeer om dit te verwyder. Die tou het later self afgeval.

We are appealing to all locals who are down in the Rooisand Area should they see a horse box or trailer big enough to carry horses and / or someone with rope trying to catch the horses they are to please let Barry or Sarah from ECO know on their cell 079 773 1003 or Leon Steyn on 082 447 6023 a.s.a.p. and they will check up and pass the relevant information on to those who need to know.

Jaar spring goed weg vir meeste KLEINMOND – Die meeste sakeondernemings waarmee die Herald die afgelope week gepraat het, het gesê hulle is in hul noppies met die sake wat hul tydens die vakansieseisoen gedoen het. Die dorp was ooglopend meer bedrywig as die vorige jaar: Angie van Angie’s Pudding & Pie: Amazing, just amazing. We could have doubled our output and we would have sold it.

Definitely our best season ever.

We were on our feet for three weeks from 4:00 am but it was worthwhile.

Albert van OK Minimark: Uitstekende seisoen. Beste in die drie jaar wat ons nou op die dorp is. Die kooptendense het ook verander. Waar mense gewoonlik gewoonlik by ons

inhardloop vir ‘n vinnige braai of brood en melk het hul vanjaar ook kruideniers gekoop. Ons wegneemetes het ook goed gedoen.

Willie van Sasol: Ons was baie bedrywig en het ‘n goeie seisoen gehad, maar mense het beslis minder brandstof ingegooi – onthou die brandstofprys het werklik eers in Januarie gedaal.

Ingrid van Le Réve: Ons was besig en hier was beslis meer mense maar hulle het oor die algemeen minder spandeer.

Nietemin was dit ‘n goeie seisoen en ons is effens op van die vorige jaar.

Allistair from Stoep Café: Fantastic season, revenue is well up. We were very busy, but somehow the usual buzz was not there .

Madelaine en Anecia van

die Toerismeburo: Dit was lekker besig en hier was beslis meer voete. Ons lede se akkommodasie was almal vol bespreek en in die druktyd moes ons mense wegwys. Ons het baie positiewe terugvoer gekry oor die nuwe kantoor in die hoofstraat. Daar was ‘n styging van ongeveer 20% in besoekers asook buitelandse besoekers aan die kantoor self.

Hennie van Kekkel en Kraai: Dit was goed gewees en ons is dankbaar en tevrede. Die ongeduld en arrogansie van sommige besoekers laat soms ‘n wrang smaak in die mond.

Mense besef nie altyd dat ons op ‘n klein dorpie ver van ons verskaffers af is nie. Dit is maklik om te sê jy moet beplan, maar hierdie jaar was daar net ‘n vloedgolf van mense.

Kobus le Roux van Kleinmond Apteek: Dit was ‘n redelik verspreide seisoen. Van die 19de tot Nuwejaar was ons baie besig, veral die kliniek.

Baie goeie seisoen, beslis beter as laasjaar.

Johanlie Bock van Bayside en Datastoor: Beslis beter as verlede jaar. Dit was ‘n stunning Desember. Dit het veral goed gegaan met ons meubelafdeling.

Ons is oorval met DSTV The Lwandle police station is looking for Xoli Bambiso aged 24, who is involved in a number of serious cases.

The suspect is wanted for cases of street robberies, house breaking and theft. He was arrested for robbery and house breaking cases and appeared in Strand Magistrate Court where he was released on bail.

The court issued a warrant of arrest for the suspect after he fail to appear in court.

Anyone who can assist to find the suspect can contact Detective /Constable B Ntshontsho of Lwandle SAPS on 082 522 1208 or 021 845 2060.

installasies en was by tye twee weke vooruit vol bespreek.

Wat opgeval het hierdie jaar was die positiewe en meer verdraagsame ingesteldheid van besoekers. Baie minder probleme as ander jare .

Paul from Sandown Blues restaurant: Very good season.

The best in our twelve years from a numbers point of view.

Pieter en Joyce van Pringle Bay Mini Mart: Wonderlik! Tot soveel as 20% beter as verlede jaar. Die winkel was propvol elke dag. Dit was behoorlik ‘n malhuis!

Morne van Bistro 365 op Pringlebaai: Ongelooflik!

Verskriklik besig. Eeen van ons besigste jare die afgelope vyf of ses jaar.

Carl en Anel van Anchor restaurant op Pringlebaai: Dit het dol gegaan. Daar was ‘n aaneenlopende stroom van mense. Ons is nog net twee maande hier so ons kan nie regtig vergelyk nie, maar is baie tevrede.

Kariena en Elmarie van Hangklip Bottelstoor: Die eerste twee weke in Desember was stiller as wat ons verwag het. Die laaste twee weke was goed en dit het voortgeduur in Januarie in. Ons is tevrede.

Nog rioolstortings in Desember KLEINMOND – Na bewering het daar die afgelope vakansie nog rioolstortings by munisipale oorlaaien pompstasies plaasgevind. Die pompstasie net onder die tennisbane hier het ook klaarblyklik op Kersdag onklaar geraak. Na wat die Herald verneem gaan die hele situasie rondom die tenkerwa stelsel, die besoedeling by die strandmeer asook die kwessie van die riete by die lagune vanjaar hoog op die agenda van die Kleinmond Belastingbetalersvereniging (KBBV) wees. Volgens ‘n verslag aan die KBBV se bestuur, wat die koerant onder oë gehad het, word aanbeveel dat die KBBV saam met die

munisipaliteit en plaaslike natuurbewaringsvereniging (of alleen), ‘n kundige tegniese komitee saamstel om alle ekologiese- en gesondheidsaspekte van die lagoon te ondersoek en ‘n bestuursplan van aksie op te stel. Daar word ook aanbeveel dat die KBBV aksies moet inisieer om so gou moontlik ‘n riool spoelstelsel ingestel te kry.

Volgens die verslag is dit nie net rioolstortings wat problematies is nie, maar die hele prosedure rondom tenkers wat onaanvaarbaar is. “Dit stink, dit raas en dit benadeel die waarde van ons eiendom, “ lui die verslag

Bokke maak glo korte mette met riete Gerard Grobler In ‘n ligte luim: Met die riete wat so welig groei in Kleinmond se strandmeer, lees ek toe hier in die vakansie die volgende raak: Die Amerikaners maak glo al meer gebruik van bokke om van die riete in hul vleilande ontslae te raak, klaarblyklik met goeie gevolge. Miskien moet ons dit ook hier probeer..........ek sien al in my geestesoog hoe die trop boerbokke lustig aan die riete vreet. Die onderstaande is ‘n artikel wat in die Amerikaanse tydskrif Beyond Pesticides op 7 Oktober 2014 verskyn het.

“Goat grazing to control opportunistic, unwanted, and poisonous plants has taken off across the country, as researchers continue to find new value in these personable animals. According to a study published last month by an international team of scientists in the journal PeerJ, goats have an outstanding potential to effectively control the opportunistic, or “invasive” reed Phragmites australis, and replace the unnecessary use of costly and dangerous herbicides.

Although a native species of phragmites exist in the U.S. (phragmites australis subspecies americanus), these plants do not form the dense monotypic stands characteristic of European phragmites (phragmites australis subspecies australis), which was introduced to the U.S. east coast in the early 1800s, and is currently found in wetlands throughout North America. The plant can grow up to 15 feet tall, and has been widely implicated in reducing biodiversity and crowding out native species in wetlands. Land managers throughout the country are encountering phragmites and resorting to the use of toxic and expensive chemicals, usually combinations of the herbicide triclopyr and glyphosate, both of which have shown evidence of harm to aquatic species. A study published in 2013 in the journal Estuaries and Coasts found that between 2005 and 2009 over $4.6 million per year was spent to control phragmites, with 94% of control tactics (vervolg op bl 12)

Bokke maak glo korte mette met riete (vervolg van bl 10) using herbicides on over 80,000 hectares of land. However, as the study notes, “Despite these high expenditures, few organizations accomplished their management objectives.”

A New York Times article also recently questioned the lengths to which land managers have gone in attempts to snuff out the reed. “The Sisyphean task of completely clearing the reed again and again throughout eternity is a level of commitment that seems unrealistic,” wrote author Dave Taft. The piece goes on to realign the plant’s role in ecosystems, noting its value in pollutant filtration, habitat for certain species, and use as a material for pen making. Despite calls to rethink the role of plants now considered “invasive” (as many are also doing with the Southwest’s tamarisk trees), it continues to be viewed as a problem in need of solution.

And there is evidence that removing phragmites increases biodiversity after it is cleared.

However, the use of herbicides that have been linked to, for instance, shape changes in frogs and harm to non-target species indicates that the risks are not worth the benefits. As with all pest problems, least-toxic alternatives provide a solution that addresses natural systems, and is more cost effective in the long term. The recent study shows that goats can adequately fill this need.

To study how well goats controlled phragmites, researchers placed two goats together in an enclosed space and left them to consume the reed. Phragmites was then allowed to re-sprout to a height of around 5 feet before

the next round of grazing. The grazing impact of the goats was compared to a control space where no changes were made. Results showed that the goats were able to reduce the density of phragmites stands five-fold, from nearly complete phragmites cover to only ~20% phragmites. Although phragmites sprouted from its rhizomes to colonize areas adjacent to the grazed plots, those where goats grazed never attained the same cover and stand density as before the goats arrived. Moreover, plant species and richness increased after goat grazing, up 100% to 400% on the Shannon-Weiner diversity index.

The authors also discovered that cows and horses will willingly eat phragmites. According to an article in TakePart, part of the impetus for the study came from lead author Brian Silliman, Ph.D., who observed cleared stands of phragmites in European marshes where livestock grazed.

Communities across America, including Colorado, Chicago and New York, are employing goats for their unwanted vegetation.

In Washington D.C. goats helped replace the outdated herbicide regimen in the Congressional Cemetery.

In Northern California, utility Pacific Gas and Electric employed goats to clear brush that presented a fire hazard. Shortly after, the city of Anaheim, CA followed suit, using the goats to help alleviate the danger posed by the state’s drought.”

Nog ‘n koppie?

Dons in die wind Die nuwe jaar lê voor met sy tot nog toe onbekende vreugdes, skandes en skades.

Ons hier by die koerant wag ook. Soms mag ons deel in groot plesierigheid en opgewondenheid en dan is dit lekker om deel te hê aan iemand se goeie nuus. Dan is dit partykeer vir my vreemd dat mense so half sku is om goeie tyding te deel. Dis nou daar waar die invloed van die Calvinisme my wieletjies sommer pap maak. Hoekom mag mens nie sê jou kind het presteer of gewen nie?

Dit het niks met brêggerigheid te doen nie. Dit het wel alles te doen met trots wees op ons kind of eggenoot of instansie wat iets goeds gedoen het en vir wat bly jy dan daaroor stil? Gits, dis soos om jou talent onder die maatemmer te sit. Of erger nog, wanneer jy sê “Ag, dis sommer niks”, dan doen jy afbreuk aan die prestasie of grootsheid van wat iemand bereik het. En jy sê die talent of vermoë van so ‘n iemand is “sommer niks”. Dink maar daaroor.

Die ander sy van die saak is natuurlik dat mense in ieder geval praat. Ons sal daarvaan hoor, maar dikwels te laat wanneer aan ons gesê word: “Hoekom het julle niks gesê niks gesê nie?” Want, geliefdes, ons het nie geweet nie.

En van praat gepraat: Wanneer ons iets plaas, moet ons seker

maak van ons feite. ‘n Goeie koerantstorie kom dikwels uit ‘n straatstorie. Maar ‘n straatstorie is nie noodwendig ‘n koerantstorie nie. Anders was wat baie mense dink, kan ons nie sommer enigiets skryf nie.

Ons moet dit iewers verifieer.

Om ‘n straatstorie klakkeloos te herhaal, is om moeilikheid te soek. Dis hoekom, teen die tyd dat ons iets skryf, ons ‘n storie al ‘n paar maal iewers getoets het, dikwels sommer by die hoofkarakter self.

Gedurende al die manewales om die koring van die kaf te skei, hoor mens soms die vreemdste verhale. Soms skreeusnaaks en soms baie tragies. Die mens bly maar mens.

En nou, aangesien ons so in die landboubedrywighede in is: Die eggenoot se antie Lil van moederskant, was ‘n Groenewald uit die Bredasdorp omgewing. Sy het eendag, so tussen ons vroumense, vir my in haar Overbergse brei, die volgende gesê: “My kind, woorde wat jy sê sonder om te dink, is soos om ‘n bulsak in die Ooswind uit te skut en dan weer probeer om al die veertjies terug te kry om die sak weer te stop. Dis ‘n saak van onmogentlikheid.”

Nou toe, mag almal moeg word van al die goedheid en guns in 2015. (Dis dan wanneer die slegte nuus so goed verkoop!)

Ons is altyd geneig om te kritiseer maar so traag om krediet te gee waar nodig.

Vandag wil ek graag dankie sê aan Sam Pretorius Bouers vir goeie diens gelewer. Sam het reeds vier keer vir my gebou.

Die eerste keer het ek nog op Mosselbaai gewoon en het eers later die voltooide gebou gesien.

Hy handhaaf goeie verhoudinge

Ek kan hom met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel vir enige tipe bouwerk, klein of groot. Dankie Sam, vir 4x se uitstaande werk gelewer.

Riooltenkwaens Die daaglikse, aanhoudende lawaai van die riool tenkwaens, tydens die Desember vakansie tydperk, is genoeg om inwoners en vakansiegangers die harnas in te jaag. So kan ons tog nie voortgaan om ons mooi kusdorp te adverteer nie. Die Belastingbetalersvereniging

moet help want so kan dit nie elke jaar voortgaan nie. Die lawaai is ver bo die aanvaarbare desibels wat in munisipaliteitsomgewings toegelaat word.

Kleinmonders, kom ons staan saam en raak ontslae van die foefie.

Vakansiegangers en hul honde Nou ja die vakansie is verby en die meeste besoekers is terug na hul blyplekke. Dit was lekker om ons dorp so vol mense en veral jong mense en kinders te sien.

Ongelukkig is ons besoekers blykbaar nie bewus van die plaaslike munisipale regulasies dat honde aan `n leiband moet wees as hulle buite `n erf is nie.

Verder weet baie ook nie dat dit goeie maniere is om jou hond se visitekaartjies op te tel en in `n vullishouer te plaas nie. In Yzerfontein aan die Weskus het die owerhede `n plan gemaak om besoekers van die reëls

in kennis te stel en hulle ook te help om goeie maniere te leer. Sal dit nie wonderlik wees nie, as ons munisipaliteit ook dieselfde kan doen veral langs Kusweg waar die meeste met honde gewandel word.

Verder sal die munisipaliteit ook nuwe uniforms aan van die wetstoepassingsbeamptes moet verskaf want ek vermoed daar is `n hele paar wie se broeke se sitvlakke deurgesit is na die vakansie want `n mens het hulle min sien beweeg en glad nie langs Kusweg om aandag te gee aan die honde nie. Christo

New measure insensitive The latest Official Newsletter of the Overberg Municipality states that permission is required from “Local Administration, or Competent Authority”, to erect memorial crosses in the area, and that those now existing are to be removed!! I have always had a belief that the benches bearing memorial plaques along the Public Walkways had been donated by relatives in memory of loved ones, similar to those in Porter Gardens.

Competent Authority’s opinion holds that these memorials detract from the character of our “Natural Environment, and Unspoilt Landscape”. Much in the same way, I suppose, as does Telkom’s leaning poles and hanging wires dotted round our Unspoilt Landscape.....

A hundred metres from my property is a cross erected on the site of an accident that sadly took the life of a young man, I shall be most dismayed if it is removed......

Perhaps we can now add the word “Insensitive” to the description of “Local Administration and/ or Competent Authority”, in addition to, “Overpaid, Short Sighted, and Overbearing”?.

I have yet to read a By-Law, or rarely even a Law designed to improve the freedom of individual thought or action.

Local Council By-Laws will always be around to inform you of what you cannot do, with appropriate, penalties for disobedience. Just a perception, of course. Frank Helm

Where is the Ghost of Spooknek?

Last week I went for a lovely trail run again. This time all along the hiking trails above Kleinmond to the top of Perdeberg peak. As most runners know when you are sweating it out along your route you often think of the things along your chosen route.

So when I reached the level bit at Spooknek it made me wonder where the ghost was.

Maybe some of the older residents and historians around

our area can explain who saw the Spook at that nek. At one time my wife, Jean boasted that she had a local koppie named after her, but I pointed out that this was not possible as she only had two brothers. The Jean that gave her name to the hill above Kleinmond had Three Sisters.

When you get to the top of Perdeberg it is very difficult to believe that any of the vlei wild horses ever wondered around

to the top of Perdeberg, so were there some mountain Zebras roaming around the top of this mountain? I know some times these names come from the shape of rocks for example the Elephant rocks above Betty’s bay or something that was very delicious and rare like the Heuning klip. Did someone see

Bladsy 14 little fairies in Fairy glen? When you hike right up the middle of the Kogelberg Reserve you go up the remote Spinnekopnes valley. Who came up with this imaginative name? I find these and other names very original, and wonder about the stories behind them.

A big thank you What better way to start the new year than with A BIG THANK YOU to all the volunteers and supporters of our second, very successful Fund-Raising Auction in December 2014. The Sterilisation For Pets Trust which funds the free sterilisation of breeding animals belonging to qualifying indigent owners, will benefit by around R63,000.

Special mention must be made of Andre du Toit , charismatic and entertaining volunteer auctioneer, his charming, efficient assistant Tania and to Kleinmond Estates for assisting with the mandatory paperwork - and all of this at their most busy time of the year . Phew!!!!!!

Fervent thanks too to volunteers Grant Cohen, Kathy Campbell, Jenny Banks and all those who attended, for contributing to its success.

Sterilisation of breeding animals is not only humane,

compassionate and effective but it is also very cost-effective taking into account the fact that one unsterilised bitch could, over a period of 6 years, be responsible for 67,000 animals given that she will come into season twice each year and her puppies and their puppies and their puppies and so on, will do the same – all contributing to an impossible total. Without subsidised spaythons, Animal Welfare Organisations will be hard-pressed to find the funds to de-worm, innoculate, treat for injuries, provide accommodation and food for lost, stray pets and those up for adoption - or they will have to resort to euthanasia or even close down.

Thanks again to all the above volunteers. A job well done!!!

Altesame 94 mense het Oujaarsaand op Bettysbaai aan ‘n pretdraf ten bate van die dorpie se Vrywilligergemeenskapsbrandbestryders deelgeneem. Die uitsigryke roete van meer as vyf km was uitdagend genoeg om gesoute hardlopers tevrede te stel, terwyl avonturiers groot bevrediging gekry het uit die pragtige omgewing waarin hulle gehardloop het. Die wenner, Lee-Roy Hendriks, het die afstand in 21 minute 43 sekondes afgelê. Elkeen wat die wedloop voltooi het, het ‘n stel Ola=plakkies ontvang en pryse is ook toegeken aan die atlete wat die beste hooftooisels gehad het. Na die geleentheid is die prystrekking vir ‘n lootjiekompetisie gedoen. Meer as R10 000 is vir die vrywilligerbrandweereenheid met dié poging ingesamel.

PROMOTION

Enhancing the body’s healing ability Sandra Reynecke is the therapist who treats numerous patients in our area according to the Integrated Bodywork (IB) principle.

IB is a complementary health technique that will enhance the body’s natural healing ability, and can provide truly effective relief from a huge range of common aches, pains and many other ailments. This therapy can help everyone, young and old, in any physical condition. IB offers a real alternative to painkillers, drugs or surgery. It assists the body to reduce the ‘wear and tear’ that accompany aging. It can help reduce the physically stressful effects of sport or manual work and reduces the likelihood of injury. It is gentle and cannot cause harm.

Here are a few references from satisfied IB patients from all over : Yasmien (40), confectionery baker - After suffering from severe neck and back pain for weeks I went to my IB therapist after the medication I was given was not doing anything. After the 3rd session I was and still am completed cured of my pain. I still look forward to my sessions every week because I don’t ever want to go through that pain again.

Collin Hall, Leadership Program facilitator - The final straw came when my yoga instructor “fired” me and told me not to come back until I had seen Victor Luies and experienced “Integrated Body Work”. I had never heard of Integrated Body Work but I was desperate. Several years of random but acute pains in both legs was driving me mad. At times it felt as though someone was lifting my knee caps with a screwdriver or burning my shins with a blow torch! I thought I had tried every possible alternative. So a year ago I saw Victor, who diagnosed the problem as unfinished healing from injuries I had sustained in

an awful car accident 15 years ago. Some relief was almost immediate, but the progress over the past year has been extraordinary. I hardly ever have a twinge of pain. I do not need pills, surgery, an onerous diet or exercise – just a deep shared understanding of how my body works and what it needs to do to heal itself.

Mark (57), IT development - I have had back pain, particularly in the lower back, since my early twenties and it was only when I found Integrated Bodywork in my forties that I received treatment that dealt with it effectively. I recommend IB to anyone I can as a successful alternative to more traditional but less effective treatments such as those given by chiropractors, among others – and that is because IB does not just treat the symptoms, but helps relieve the deep-seated emotional patterns that are usually the underlying cause of back pain.

Liz Spencer (39), nurse - I went for my first IB session in 2007 after suffering for many years with intermittent lower back pain that was becoming more and more debilitating with every ‘attack’. Having been in the nursing profession for 20 years, I had put my back problems down to “wear and tear”.

The first time my practitioner saw me, he called me “sister pretzel”! Remembering now I laugh, but the pain then was so draining, I was powerless. I had instant relief that day, and have on a journey of healing ever since.

Olga Goodman (56), jeweller Two and a half years ago I was the owner of a very skew body constantly suffering from acute sciatica! My Pilates teacher at the time recommended I go to see an IB practitioner. When I was 6 years old the school doctor discovered I had a 45-degree scoliosis. At the time I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who

said that barring surgery which would entail fitting a rod down my spine, there was nothing they could do. I took ballet classes for my posture and led a pretty normal life except for the fact that my shoulders were not level, my one leg was about 4 c m shorter than the other and my abdominal area was very bunched up! As I persevered my weekly IB sessions, my sciatica slowly disappeared! What a pleasure not to live in constant pain any more! My S-bend spine that had been set tight in a 45 degree curvature for 50 odd years started to shift - first the upper curve straightened and flattened and then the lower section started to shift! I am now standing evenly on my 2 feet! Something the average human being takes for granted and I yearned to do all my life!

Lindsay Catlin (57), receptionist - I was introduced to Integrated Bodywork in 2003. After an MRI scan in 1997 had showed a completely herniated disc at L4/5 level, I suffered from many episodes of severe sciatic pain down my left leg causing me to be unable to stand for

more than a minute at a time.

I have been left with residual numbness in two of my toes and at the time had an inability to use my calf muscle to its full capacity. The resulting damage caused a pronounced limp. An orthopaedic surgeon referred me to a neurosurgeon to see if they could “fix” me with surgery, but 5 years later after many IB sessions and no spinal operation, I have an almost undetectable limp, limited nerve pain and best of all do not have to rely on anti-inflammatory medication!

I have two treatments a month to keep my spine open and pain free.

Liz, (47), restaurant owner and chef - Since starting Integrated Bodywork in November ’07, it has had a remarkable affect on a chronic sinus and hay fever condition and has made me aware of the effects of years of accumulated compression on different parts of my spine. Whenever I experience discomfort and pain in the neck, back or limbs, an IB session is hugely effective in pain relief and I really value regular sessions.

Kleinmond Rolbalklub Kompetisie Uitslae Mans Driespel.

In hul opmars tot die finale rondte het Matthi Theron, Alex Leeb en Chris Harding as lei, eers te staan gekom teen Pieter Gous, Emile du Toit en Frank Cawood as lei. Na die 14de kop het Matthi hulle gerieflik voorgeloop met 15 - 6, maar soos hulle sê, in rolbal kan jy nooit op jou louere rus nie. Op die 15de kop tel Pieter hulle 4 skote en op die 17de kop 6 skote op, telling toe 16 elk met slegs een kop oor om te speel. In die laaste kop het Matthi se span 2 skote gelê en wen 18 -16 Op 6 Jan.`15 kom Matthi hulle te staan teen Tiki Rossouw, Bob Bradnick en Roelf Beukes as lei. Vir Tiki se span was dit `n opdraande stryd. Matthi hulle wen 24 - 8 Op 7 Jan. `15 het Matthi se span teen Thys Smuts, Eddie de Vos en Roland Tarr, te staan gekom.

Op die 14de kop het Matthi hulle gemaklik voorgeloop 20 -11 Thys-hulle het egter

vasgeskop en wen die laaste 4 koppe, maar ongelukkig was dit nie vir hulle genoegsaam nie , eindtelling 20 -16 In die ander been van die kompetisie het Roy Galloway, met Phillip Graham en Walter Galloway as lei deurgedring tot die semi-finale deur eers vir Marius Schutzler, Hubert Bock en Chris Lombard 16 -12 te wen. Op 17 Des.`14 speel Roy hulle teen Kallie de Kock, Paul Pretorius en Johan Carstens.

Na die 17de kop met `n telling van 20 -17 in Roy hulle se guns , kon die spel nog enige kant toe gaan. Roy hulle trek egter die wa deur die drif met `n 22 -17 oorwinning en kom op 8 Jan. `15 in die finaal teen Matthi se span te staan. In die eindstryd het Matthi met pragspel as skip en met sy span se ondersteuning, spreekwoordelik die opponente ore aangesit. Roy hulle kon nooit voor kom nie en Matthi se span wen 17 -11.

Baie geluk aan Matthi en sy

span. Hulle is ons Klub Mans Driespel Kampioene !

Dames Driespel.

Volledige verslag sal volgende week gegee word sodra die Dames Driespel, afgehandel is.

Kleinmond Spar Singles Competition The Club Singles Championship is still in the Round Robin stages.

Men`s Results: There were a few very keenly contested matches in the Men`s Super Singles round robin competition.

Tiki Rossouw started his section A match against Walter Galloway and took control of the game, winning the match 21 -12 After losing against Kallie de Kock in a previous match, Phillip Graham was determined not to let Frank Cawood do the same to him, in their section C game.

From the start Phillip played some brilliant shots to build up a comfortable lead, winning the match 22 - 4 at the 15th end.

Pitte le Roux started his section B match against John Orford in his usual unconcerned fasion, but found it hard to deal with some fine bowling by John who was able to accumulate a 9 shot lead, 11 - 2 by the 10th end before Pitte took control of the game. At the 21st end they peeled 15 all. In the next 5 ends Pitte adding 7shots to his score, winning 22 - 15 Chris Barnard en Hubert Bock het mekaar behoorlik die stryd aangesê. Met briljante spel het beide van hulle mekaar probeer uitoorlê. Vanaf die 12de tot die 17de kop, was sake baie gelyk,14 -13 in Chris se guns. Na die 23ste kop was Chris 3 skote voor, telling 20 – 17. In die 24ste kop het Chris 2 skote opgetel en wen 22- 17 Valerian Strydom en Pieter Gous het in hul afdeling C wedstryd met mekaar “kat en muis” gespeel tot die 14de kop. Vier

keer was die telling gelykop.

Vanaf die 15de kop het Val. vas gestaan en loop 20-11 voor na die 20ste kop, slegs een punt van `n oorwinning, maar Pieter laat hom nie so maklik onderkry nie en tel 5 skote die daarop volgende koppe op, telling 2016 . In die 23ste kop beklink Val die wedstryd met 21 -16 In die afdeling C wedstryd tussen Graham Utton en Kallie de Kock, was dit `n opdraande stryd vir Graham. Kallie wen gemaklik oor 16 koppe met 22-6 Wat `n taai uitgerekte stryd was dit nie tussen Willem Theron en Jan Stubbe nie! Na die 15de kop was sake vir die 3de keer gelyk, 9 punte elk. Vanaf die 16de kop het Jan soos `n Vlieënde Hollander met reëlmaat koppe by Willem afgetrek, om uiteindelik na `n baie lang moeisame spel met 21-13 te wen.

Ladies Results: Sandra and Bekkie Galloway provided an entertaining contest in their section B match. At the 4th , 7th, 13th and 18th end they peeled. Bekkie, leading by 6 shots, 19-13, at the 15th end. In the next 5 ends Sandra picked up 9 shots, winning the match 22-19 Letitia Hoffmann en Irene Cawood het sake uitgespook.

Letitia het tot die 9de kop die voortou geneem. From the 10th end, Irene played some brilliant shots to build up a comfortable lead, winning the match 21-9 Thoughts for the day Of course I talk to myself.

Sometimes I need expert advice My brain is like the Bermuda Triangle.

Information goes in and then it`s never found again Geniet die Lewe. Dit het `n vervaldatum Vasstaan Ou Mater, vasstaan.

Tot volgende week, dan praat ons weer . VS

Changes at the Golf Club For the past 13 years the halfway house at the Kleinmond Golf Club has been a haven for weary and often wind blasted golfers.

They were always assured of a well filled toasted sandwich, a wonderful hot dog, a hamburger to write home about or a wide variety of choices from a widely varied menu to sustain them for the climb to the 10th tee and beyond!

The person behind the nutritional wonderment of the half-way house is Juanita Pretorius (affectionately known as “Nita”) who with her warm smile and infectious laugh makes the pain of the first nine holes a little easier to manage! It is said by all who enjoy the food at “Nita’s half-way house” that you will never get such good food at such reasonable prices anywhere else. In fact it has been mentioned that the halfway house at the Kleinmond Golf Club is not easily bettered.

But sadly things never remain the same and change is, in this life anyway, inevitable. Nita has decided that she needs a

rest from the hard work and the stress and strain of feeding golfers and is to retire. The club is not sure how it is going to replace an institution such as Nita but a replacement must be found to feed the hungry golfers. All the members who have enjoyed something to eat at the half-way house will be sad to see her retire but she certainly has “paid her dues” and deserves a well-earned rest which begins at the end of February 2015.

The club will be hard pressed to find the right person to replace Nita but somewhere out there is “the one” who will take up the reins and “just do it”!

The Kleinmond Golf Club wishes to thank Nita for her years of service to all the members and wish her a happy “retirement”.

“We are all going to miss you Nita but we know we will see you around and maybe then you will be able to sit down and have a cup of coffee with us rather than serve us at the tables”
