Joy to the World 2020 will be go down in history as one of the most extraordinary years in our history. Everyone’s lives have been affected, and unprecedented stress levels have been the result. The stories all over the media detailing extreme levels of corruption in South Africa has been disheartening, but these are countered by so many great stories about individuals, churches and organisations that came to the assistance of the needy in so many wonderful ways. Another fine thing that happened during lockdown, is that many people have done their own introspection. As a result of the Coronavirus, we have all done some degree of introspection. Of the many things that I have learned about myself, first and foremost, is to be more appreciative of what I have and what we have around us. Since spring arrived, and us having had a lot of rain, we can already see the changes happening in our garden. My wife collects orchids and has many on trees around our property. Many of these orchids are in full bloom and are really looking very attractive.

We are also fortunate to have a tributary of the Palmiet at the bottom of our property, called the Umvusi stream. Around this area, there is a wooded area, where many different species of birds spend part of their day. It is special to hear the various birds happily chirping continuously. Taking into account the above, and with the festive season around the corner, it would be great if we could all consider assisting someone in our local community who is less fortunate than ourselves. From my experience, there are many people who really feel very lonely over this special period. Any type of joy that one can bring into their lives, will make such a difference.

Turning Junk Into Treasure KZN-based company Enviro Timbers has been converting plastic waste into recycled plastic outdoor furniture since 2013. Owners Alan and Heid Boyd source plastic waste locally and transform it into aesthetically pleasing and functional ‘timber’, from which they manufacture a wide range of outdoor furniture.
“Just one of our 2-seater garden benches contain around 1200 milk/ detergent bottles.” Enviro Timbers sources local HDPE/ LDPE and PP/BOPP plastic waste that includes plastic from shampoo bottles, plastic bags, chip packets and milk bottles. Plastic is sourced from recycling companies, landfill sites, street traders, schools and other organisations, such as SPCA. This plastic arrives in bales or bags and is sorted into different categories and colours. The plastic is then ground into flakes, washed, dried, mixed and extruded into planks.
“Just one of our 2-seater garden benches contain around 1200 milk/ detergent bottles. Our 6-seater picnic table contains around 4000 milk/ detergent bottles,” explains Alan. “We are continuously developing new products, and almost any furniture made of wood can now be made from recycled plastic timber.” Enviro Timbers has initiatives with Durban and Midlands schools and organisations where they swop plastic for furniture, something that is encouraging youngsters to start recycling from an early age. An example of this is the Kloof SPCA, with whom they’ve been working for many years, educating the local community to take all their HDPE plastic to the SPCA. They in turn pay for this plastic, enabling them to pay for food for the animals there.

Benefits of plastic timber Plastic timber furniture outlasts regular timber, is rot- and algae-proof, splinterproof, easy to clean, low maintenance and 100% recyclable. Purchasing a recycled plastic timber product prevents huge amounts of plastic waste from ending up in rivers, beaches or landfill sites. South Africa produces roughly 540 million tonnes of waste per year, 95% of which ends up in rubbish dumps and landfills, instead of recycling centres. A large percentage of this is plastic. If these materials are not recycled, new products are made by extracting fresh, raw materials from the earth, through mining and forestry. Recycling helps conserve important raw materials and protects natural habitats for the future. Household recycling Recycling in and around the home can be easy when you know how. Thinking carefully about what products you buy at the supermarket and how to recycle
6
them, is the first step towards efficient recycling. Many materials can be recycled - paper, plastic, metal, glass, even furniture, electronic equipment, building materials and vehicles can be recycled, although many people do not think to do so.
“...even furniture, electronic equipment, building materials and vehicles...� Recycle bins Make sure you have one or more recycle bins at home. Encourage others to get involved. Follow the recycling schemes provided by your school/ workplace/complex and think about ways of improving on them. Contact Heidi Boyd on info@envirotimbers.com for more information

Collector’s Corner With Daryl Kriel, from Kensington Bond
I inherited this quaint little silver pot, but I am not sure what it is meant to be used for and is it worth anything? - Sylvia
Daryl answers: Your “little silver pot” is a brandy warming pan made by Peter and William Bateman in 1810, sons of Hester Bateman (1708 – 1794) who was probably the most famous female silversmith in the U.K. It would fetch between R3000 and R4000 on auction. Silver is a brilliant metal that is (second only to gold) the most malleable and ductile metal. For an artist it can be hammered, worked, shaped, stretched,
12
beaten and cast. The metal is least reactive and has been suitable for most domestic needs since the 12th century. Silver in its pure form is too soft for normal use, and has to be alloyed to give it some strength. Over time, a system of marks were developed to ascertain the quality and identify the silversmiths who had made the items. Early silver items are highly sought-after by collectors all over the world, and if the maker is famous, the items can fetch as much as their weight value in gold. Silver has been used for currency, jewellery, tableware and to make beautiful artworks for centuries. There are collectors all over the world willing to pay huge prices for special pieces. If you would like to date, value or sell your silver, please call Daryl at Kensington Bond on 082 297 1117.

The Cost of Winding up an Estate With Wills Week having just passed, we at Senior Living thought it prudent to explore the actual cost of winding up an estate. Most times this particular area seems to be skimmed over at the time of planning, but did you know that there are up to ten different legal fees that can be applied to any given estate? They may not ALL be applicable to your estate, but it is wise to rather be prepared. In certain instances, surviving spouses have had to sell property in order to access money to pay these fees. Tiffany Gray from Capital unpacks these costs: •
14
•
Non-Estate Asset Fees: This fee is charged when administrating insurance policies and pension and provident funds.
•
Property Transfer and Attorney Conveyance Fees: This is the cost to transfer property, even if in both spouse’s names, when one passes away the full ownership needs to be transferred to the remaining spouse.
•
Trust Fees: Minor children are not legal to inherit and therefore a testamentary trust would need to be set up which can be quite costly, especially through banks that charge 1.6% annually to administrate the trust for as long as it needs to be in place. This could diminish the children’s inheritance dramatically.
Legacy
Executor’s Fees: There are fees charged by the legal body selected to wind up the estate. Individuals need to appoint an executor when the estate value is more than R250 000 i.e. a bank, lawyer or fiduciary company that will normally charge 3.5% + vat on the total amount in the estate.
•
Master’s Fees: Every will needs to be validated through the Master’s Court as it is a high court proceeding.
•
Correspondence Fee: Fees are charged by the Master’s Office to administrate documentation pertaining to the estate/will.
•
Advertising Fee: Advertisements are placed regarding the deceased to alert any creditors.
•
Property Clearance Fee: Rates and taxes are paid in advance for four months.
•
•
Capital Gains Tax: This is the tax you pay on the increased value of an asset year on year. Estate Duty: This is levied on the dutiable value of an estate at a rate of 20% on the first R30 million and at a rate of 25% on the dutiable value of the estate above R30 million.

What is a Living Will? A living will is a directive that tells doctors what your personal wishes are about end-of-life medical care. It expresses how a person who is physically (or mentally) incapacitated wishes to be treated in certain medical situations. A living will becomes effective once a doctor decides that a person is incapacitated and unable to communicate his or her decisions regarding life-sustaining treatment. In a living will, the person may state, among other things, his or her wishes regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial and/or mechanical life support and tube feeding. Who needs to be involved? If you become incapacitated, your living will only be effective if those who are treating you are aware of its existence. It should be accessible, so it’s advisable to inform your family of the living will’s location and give them copies. It is also wise to regularly give medical practitioners who treat you, copies of the living will.
16
It is advisable to get assistance from a professional such as an attorney when drafting your living will. In practice, it must be signed by the individual and two competent witnesses present at the same time.
“Our right to life is closely tied to our right to dignity, entitling us to a dignified death.” Why is it important to have a living will? • Our right to life is closely tied to our right to dignity, entitling us to a dignified death. A living will allows an individual to retain their dignity by giving them a voice when they cannot speak for themselves.
•
A living will provides invaluable guidance to family members and medical personnel if a person cannot express his/her wishes. In the event you do not have a living will, doctors/hospitals may decide they are legally obligated to perform certain procedures that you would not desire.
A living will provides invaluable guidance to family members and medical personnel if a person cannot express his/her wishes. •
•
Having a living will in place eliminates any emotional stress your loved ones would suffer when called upon to make life-or-death decisions. If your spouse, adult child or another relative is called upon to make a decision about your care, he/she will find it helpful if you have expressed your wishes in a living will.
•
Being on life-support, especially when there is no reasonable prospect of recovery, is incredibly expensive. The financial burden will be alleviated if there is a living will in place.
Requirements for a valid living will The validity of a living will is a contentious issue in South Africa. The National Health Act 61 of 2003 (hereinafter referred to as the National Health Act) affirms a person’s right to refuse treatment, even if it may result in the shortening of his/her life. The South African Medical Association has stipulated that in order for a person to have a living will, they must be over the age of medical consent and of sound mind. Unlike a power of attorney, a living will remains
PMB/Midlands
A living will tells others what you want to happen in the event you are unable to make decisions about your own end-of-life treatment. Without a document expressing those wishes, family members and doctors are left to guess what a seriously ill person would prefer in terms of treatment. They may end up in painful disputes, which occasionally make it all the way to a court.
17
valid even if the signatory later becomes of unsound mind. Status of a living will in SA Living wills are currently not legally recognised in South African law. Doctors with a conscientious objection to withholding treatment are not obliged to comply with a directive. In such a case, the attending doctor should advise the patient of their views and offer to step aside or transfer treatment and management of the patient’s care to another medical practitioner. Doctors are, however, advised to approach living wills with considerable circumspection and obtain advice from the South African Medical Association if necessary.
PMB/Midlands
Parliament is currently considering the implementation of the National Health Amendment Bill which intends to amend the National Health Care Act, so that advanced health care directives such as the living will and the durable power of attorney for healthcare are legally recognised. In light of the current pandemic, it has never been more important to have a living will in place. If you are an older person or someone with underlying health conditions, it’s particularly crucial that your wishes regarding end-of-life treatment are recorded.

A Sense of Belonging When Clarendon House’s lease came to an end, the exciting Clarendon House Care Group was born For some time, Vicki Bannister had been wanting to reach the elderly at their place of comfort and happiness, so she decided to develop a bouquet of small homes, each with a specific need in mind. The Clarendon House Group believes that: • Every elder has the right to choose and make choices in matters that affect their wellbeing. • Every elder needs to have a sense of belonging. • Every elder has the right to a life with meaning and purpose. • Every elder’s level of care will never be compromised.
Vicki is grateful for all the love and support she has received from the community, doctors and residents’ families over the years, as well as fellow businesses. Special thanks to Hennie and Erika Heyns; M & K Maintenance; Fleming Building and Civils; Mike’s Electronics; Walungisa Security; Sesizwile Transport and General Services; and Cupboard Value.

Funny Corner! Grandpa’s Face: A little girl was sitting next to her grandfather as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up and touch his wrinkled cheek. She touched her own cheek after she touched his. After a little while of thinking she asked, “Grandpa, did God make you?” He looked at her and said, “Yes, sweetheart, God made me a long time ago.” She paused for a few seconds and then asked, “Grandpa, did God make me too?” He replied, “Yes, indeed pumpkin, God made you just a little while ago.” Feeling their respective faces again, she whispered to him, “God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?” - Unknown
Washing clothes - 1 hour Drying clothes - 3 hours Packing clothes away 8-10 business days. A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could
28
get in nine holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off, an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him. To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn’t hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn’t waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball and directly between his ball and the green. After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, “You know, when I was your age I’d hit the ball right over that tree.” With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay. The old man offered one more comment, “Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only three feet tall.”

Recognising Dementia How do we know when a family member or friend is starting to suffer from dementia? This is a question which people often ask when they realise that their parent or family member is no longer able to function without some assistance. With normal ageing, our elders tend to become forgetful, but still maintain their logic. Once one’s logic is affected, this could be the start of Dementia. Signs of early Dementia include: • Losing or misplacing things and accusing others of “hiding” or “stealing” them. • Being unable to find the right words when speaking. • Finding difficulty in performing everyday tasks such as showering or preparing a meal. • Forgetting things that happened recently. • Finding difficulty in planning or organising anything. • Making decisions with uncharacteristically poor judgement. The present situation caused by Covid-19 is affecting the elderly quite significantly.
30
As we get older, it is important that we maintain a healthy lifestyle, including socialising and being active. This has been noticeably missing in our lives over the past few months and has caused many of us undue stress, particularly as we have been unable to visit friends or relatives, or have our families visit us. Depression forms a large part of the signs and symptoms of Dementia and it is important, if one is depressed, to chat to your doctor. If you are having difficulty managing on your own, it is important to get assistance from either the Care Centre or your neighbours and friends. It is important to use your support system to its utmost and also ensure that your friends and neighbours are managing their lives too. For more information, please contact Ruth Sanderson to discuss your particular situation on 082 789 2523 or 031 - 765 3561 or ruthsanderson03@gmail.com.
