monica.supra@tametimes.co.za The Miss SA beauty pageant has introduced many fiercely intelligent and beautiful ambassadors to South Africa in the last 50 years. Shané Venter, a vibrant young lady from Alberton, entered this prestigious competition with great hopes of fulfilling her lifelong dream. She was chosen as one of the Top 25 semi-finalists for Miss South Africa 2016, which brings her just that one step closer to the reality of reigning as Miss South Africa. During Miss SA’s reign, she will represent South Africa at both the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants. There, she will be involved in promotional work and celebrity appearances. She will travel locally and abroad, meet dignitaries,
celebrities, the privileged, the underprivileged, the sick and the needy. That is the expectation today, as it has been growing steadily since Norma Vorster was crowned Miss SA in 1956. To become our country’s ultimate representative, Schané needs votes from the public. Let’s support our local girl by ‘liking’ and sharing her photo on Facebook and let everyone know how proud we are. We wish Schané the best of luck for her Miss SA 2016 journey and To vote for Schané Venter, search for her page on Facebook will keep our readers updated. and show your support. *Photo sourced from Facebook

My favourite month of the year has arrived. Not only because my birthday falls in October, but the weather is perfect outside, the spring smells reach their peak and of course, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a cause very close to my heart, and the October ‘’pink paper’’ is without a doubt my favourite concept. To start off, we have some information on the importance of mammograms, as well as risk factors on page 8. We also have information about the Breast Health Foundation as our organisation of the week. We had a terribly crazy week at the office, with the tame TIMES Community Cup now behind us for 2015. The annual fundraiser was a great success thanks to all our sponsors and players. You can see some of the photos on page 5, and visit our Facebook page to see some more of the action that took

place on t h e day. I was very excited to discover that we have our very own Miss South Africa 2016 finalist in Alberton. The lovely Schané Venter needs the community’s help to make her dream come true. We as a community can be proud to have such an outstanding young woman representing us. Make sure you check the front page again for details on how to vote for Schané. I would like to take this opportunity to send my sincerest condolences to one of our designers, Stephanie Els and her family. Her aunt sadly lost the battle against cancer last week. We are all thinking of you during this difficult time. We dedicate this newspaper to your aunt in loving memory.

Dit lyk altyd na pret om aan ‘n TVspeletjiesprogram, ‘n “game show”, deel te neem. Dis net, niemand waarsku jou vooraf hoe baie grimering hulle aan jou gaan smeer voor die kameras begin rol nie. Ek het onlangs aan “Musiek Roulette”, wat in Oktober op SABC2 uitgesaai word, deelgeneem, toegespuit met die dikste grimering wat enige man nog ooit op aarde moes dra. Of so het dit gevoel. Die e-pos voor die tyd was duidelik: jy is welkom om te kom, maar jy kan nie aantrek wat jy wil nie. Omtrent alle kleure is taboe. En alles met ‘n strepie, of kolletjie. Jy kies toe maar die dag ‘n valerige hemp en vat die pad. Wees so-en-so laat by die SABC, ons kry jou by die deur, het hulle gesê. En toe jy daar kom was hulle daar. En ook die vier ander deelnemers aan die program: die ou wie se ma soos die sangeres Mynie Grové lyk en wie sê sy ken Kurt Darren persoonlik; die predikantsvrou van Bloemfontein; die mechanic van Komatipoort en die leuenverklikker van Brakpan, wat om een of ander rede nooit tydens die opname ‘n
Alberton: WHAT A HISTORY
ALBERTON’S EQUINE CORNER:
NEWMARKET
Alberton’s first introduction to thoroughbred horses came courtesy of the Rothschild family, owners of the land where New Redruth was laid out in 1912. They built up the stud farm called ‘Redshield’ in the general area where Newmarket was later established. The agricultural holdings owe their existence directly to the establishment of the Newmarket Race Course in 1937. After the re-surveying of a part of New Redruth from agricultural to residential stands, there was a need for ground to accommodate the peripheral industries associated with racing. For many decades afterwards, it was the hub of the horse racing fraternity, with stables and training arenas lining the long streets. Lincoln Street forms the western boundary of the suburb. It was named after a now-defunct race course in Lincolnshire, England. Parallel to it runs Doncaster, the name of a race course in South Yorkshire, England. Ascot Road connects Lincoln Road to Heidelberg Road. Ascot is the name of a race course in Berkshire, England. Derby is the shortest street. A derby is a race for three-year-old horses, named after the Derby Stakes run at Epson Downs. Epsom Road again connects Lincoln Road and Heidelberg Road. Epsom

geheim vir haarself kon hou nie. Alhoewel ‘n TV-program altyd kort op TV lyk, vat dit soms die hele dag om op te neem, en as iemand ‘n fout maak moet dit oorgeskiet word. Soos as jy gaan sit in plaas van bly staan of staan in plaas van gaan sit. Of as die aanbieder sê jy is van Bloemfontein in plaas van Alberton. Alles word oorgeskiet, of uitgesny, behalwe toe jy Islands in the stream vals sing - dit is op band, en binnekort op die hele dorp se PVR’s, verewig. Gelukkig het hulle darem nie die deel aan die einde van die program uitgesny nie, toe jy die laaste vraag reg beantwoord, en met die pot geld wegstap. Dit het alles - die vaal hemp, Kurt Darren se grootste fan, die mechanic wat al sy grimering afgesweet het, die vrou wat nie ‘n geheim vir haarself kon hou nie, en selfs die opgemaakte gesig - die moeite werd gemaak. Gelukkig kry ‘n mens iets soos ‘n nat waslap en koue water. Om van al die grimering ontslae te raak, en te vergeet - tot jy weer in Oktober op televisie daaraan herinner gaan word.

Downs is a race course in Surrey, England. Running into Garfield S t r e e t in Alrode, Goodwood Road commemorates a racecourse in Chichester, Sussex. The tiny suburb of Newmarket Park was proclaimed in 1974. The driving force behind it was Len Oats, owner and trainer of the horse Java, which won the Johannesburg Summer Handicap three years in a row from 1956 to 1958. That explains the first choice of the suburb name, Java Park, a suggestion that was rejected. The street names Leonard and Hanson were Len Oats’s Christian names. The other street is Elandsfontein Drive, the name of the original farm. For information on the Alberton Heritage Society, please call 011 869 9417 (BeverleyAnn Small).
