Shoot-out in
BEDFORDVIEW A shoot-out occurred in Bedfordview on Friday morning last week, when police patrolling the area responded to a call notifying them of a business break-in at the Clicks store in Village View Centre. Sergeant Mduduzi Nhlabathi, Bedfordview police spokesperson, confirmed an unknown number of suspects had broken into the store
IS WHAT YOU
WEAR ANY INDICATION OF YOUR
PERSONALITY?
By Erika Schwartz, owner of Fashion House & Buyers Lounge, Bedfordview FIVE DRESSING STYLES THAT REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY TO THE WORLD:
THE CONSERVATIVE DRESSER If you are a conservative dresser it means that you are dressing according to the environment you find yourself in rather than focussing on your own sense of personal style. You will find these conservative dressers in the corporate environment wearing a simple, traditionally styled suit, a conservative tie and sensible shoes. Usually conservative dressers can be spotted on campus in a pair of jeans and a button-down shirt, a V-neck sweater and a pair of loafers. Conservative dressers tend to be ‘conventional’ people – introverts who like to blend in with a crowd, lacking confidence. THE CARELESS DRESSER Yes, we’ve all seen careless dressers looking like they have slept in the clothes they are wearing. Wrinkled, mismatched, torn or ragged jeans and deliberately ripped T-shirts are usually accompanied by unwashed, uncombed hair and unshaven faces. The Careless Dressers like to see themselves as free-thinkers who reject conservative norms, but their appearance also screams "poor selfimage, immaturity and lack of motivation." This will often result in an “I don’t care attitude” which can be seen in the Careless Dresser’s job performance, work ethic and personal relationships. THE CASUAL DRESSER These dressers can easily be confused with Conservative Dressers, but the Casual Dresser tends to dress stylishly yet appropriately for every occasion, adding a small personal detail that will make them look well put together. This might be an elegant piece of jewellery, a silk scarf or designer tie. The Casual Dresser is a person with
confidence who is successful and can easily be perceived as attractive. THE DESIGNER DRESSER The Designer Dresser can always be seen wearing recognizable labels from well-known brands. Their hair is done only by the most expensive, high-end salon in town and everything they buy must be from the most exclusive stores. The Designer Dresser might seem to be successful, but this style is often also a sign that the person is insecure, uncertain about his/her identity, shallow and overly materialistic. THE GOTH DRESSER Goth Dressers have a characteristic look accompanied by black clothing, black-dyed hair, heavy dark make-up and jewellery that might look like torture tools. This look is usually accompanied by a number of tattoos and piercings. These people like to think that they are artistic and sensitive, but their fundamental personalities tend to be angry, immature, thrill-seeking and often depressed. THE ATHLETIC DRESSER These people would like to be seen as athletic, but usually do not work out. The Athletic Dresser wants to be associated with the sportiest “culture,” but due to simple lack of time or physical constraints never actually participates in sport. These people tend to be couch potatoes, insecure and jealous of those who achieve athleticism in the real world. These descriptions are stereotypical representations of many different types of dressers and most of us wear a mixture of two or more styles on a regular basis. Our personalities are a mixture of those described.
at around 4am on the day. “When police arrived on the scene, a shoot-out ensued between police and the perpetrators with the suspects eventually fleeing in a black BMW, with perfume they had stolen from the store,” said Nhlabathi. “Fortunately no one was injured in the incident.” Police are investigating.
Police telecommunication
UNDER SCRUTINY Heather Djunga
heather.djunga@tametimes.co.za Police communication was in the spotlight at a recent public meeting of the Bedfordview Community Policing Forum (BCPF) held at the Cornerstone Church in Bedfordview. Residents expressed concern there had been incidents where it had been difficult to get through to sector vehicles. Further concern was expressed over police officials’ professionalism over cellphones and telephones. BCPF chairperson Gavin Henry said that a system was currently being tested whereby all calls to sector vehicles would go through an iOpen call centre. “In such an instance, if the sector vehicle which the resident is trying to contact doesn’t respond to their call within 10 seconds, the call will then be relayed to another sector vehicle and if that vehicle’s response officer doesn’t respond to the call within 10 seconds, the call will be relayed again – eventually ending up with the station commander himself.” Henry explained they wanted to increase
the accountability of officers through such means. “Calls through the iOpen call centre will also be monitored and recorded.” He said police would also be trained in telephone techniques to increase their effectiveness over phones. The initiative will be tested over the next week; and, if successful, will be rolled out across Bedfordview, Henry told the tame TIMES. What is more, if the system proves to improve public-police communications, policing authorities have expressed interest in implementing the initiative countrywide, said Henry.
COMMUNITY SALUTES MANDELA SUPPORTING COMMUNITY: The Edenvale Community Policing Forum (ECPF) and the Edenvale police delivered blankets to the residents of Edenhaven retirement village to celebrate Mandela Day.

Local ward councillors Heather Hart and Bill Rundle, and Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Mike Waters recently visited the Edenvale precinct of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) to determine how well resourced this branch of the EMPD was and whether they faced any challenges which could be raised in Council. Waters said it was determined that the Edenvale EMPD currently had 37 officers, with Chief Superintendent Kekana as the head of the precinct, and that these officers worked two general shifts - from 6am to 2pm, and from 2pm to 10pm. Thirteen police officers and two supervisors were assigned per shift, making a total of 15 officers per shift. It was further established there was a night shift unit which covered the entire Metro area and that two EMPD officers from each of the three regions in the Metro worked on each of these shifts, resulting in six officers being on duty at night. There was also a by-law division working normal working hours, with five officers and a division supervisor. “They also have their own nurse which they use during roadblocks for the testing of drunken driving,” said Waters. “The EMPD works closely with the police with regard to roadblocks, and have at least two drunken driving operations per month over and above any joint operations with the police.” Waters said it was also ascertained the
Page 5
Metro only had one speed unit for each of the three regions within the Metro and as far as vehicles were concerned, Edenvale EMPD had only 21 vehicles available to them. “This is completely insufficient and when - as now - four vehicles are in the workshop, it places pressure on the precinct to do their jobs properly. In addition six vehicles are old and need replacing.” He said the Metro had promised four new vehicles, and the DA councillors would be taking this matter up in Council to ensure that the vehicles were indeed delivered. OTHER ISSUES THE DA WILL BE TAKING UP WITH COUNCIL INCLUDE: 1.The desperate need for a truck for the by-laws division; 2. The continuing connectivity problem at the precinct; 3. The fact that the precinct has not received new uniforms in four years when the Metro is supposed to replace them annually; 4. The fact that the petrol depot has been moved to Kempton Park, resulting in a considerable waste of time (and petrol), with officers having to go to and fro. The DA will be requesting that the Edenvale depot be re-opened. Any resident wanting to report any by-law transgressions may contact either Ward 18 Councillor Hart on 082 902 1834 or hhart@netactive.co.za or Ward 19 Councillor Rundle on 074 111 2488 or ward19billrun@gmail.com.

SNAPSHOTS OF A GREENER WORLD Heather Djunga
heather.djunga@tametimes.co.za Having grown up in the desert of Namibia, Ward 20 Councillor Jill Humphreys learned the value of nature and its resources from an early age. As a member of Environment Oversight for the DA Caucus of Ekurhuleni, Clr Humphreys recently returned from a visit to Seoul, where she participated in an ICLEI (International Congress for Local Environmental Initiatives) conference. She told the tame TIMES she had visited the country before and, on her recent visit to South Korea, noticed a huge transformation. “On arriving in Seoul I was first struck by the phenomenal change that had taken place since I visited in 2000. At the time, my husband was doing contract flying in Seoul with a local airline. As a family we were able to spend a little time there. My impression then was of a struggling and somewhat backward city with chaotic combinations of modern buildings and shopping centres surrounded by squatter camps. Landing in Seoul now in 2015 and taking the bus into town was breathtaking! A glittering skyline of twisted, leaning, angular… anything but ordinary… buildings, lighting, highways, bridges, metro rails and trains met my overawed vision! This is a country and a city that has taken a decision to succeed. It has communicated its policy and
Ward 20 Clr Jill Humphreys brings the following initiatives home with her after her recent stay in South Korea. She hopes to be instrumental in ‘greening’ the local and greater South African community: Recycling “Kerbside recycling should be encouraged. This involves separating wet and dry refuse in the home. All the dry must be recycled. All the wet must be composted. Our people need to understand the urgency and effectivity of such a scheme.”
intention to its citizens and has their commitment. These are people that are prepared to put in what is needed to pull their country back.” She related some of the highlights from her visit to South Korea. “Mayor Park of Seoul is a champion of urban sustainability and has helped Seoul to become one of the world’s leaders on sustainable development,” said Clr Humphreys. “Most recently, Seoul successfully achieved the energy-saving equivalent of a nuclear power plant and initiatives are now underway to save further energy, equivalent to a second nuclear power plant.” She said, according to Park, South Korea’s authorities implemented this initiative in 2012 in order to respond to the continually rising demand for electricity. Their aim was to reduce the energy demand by an amount equivalent to the production of one nuclear power plant. To do this, they partnered with the private sector to help produce more energy from renewable sources, and encouraged all citizens to save energy in their daily lives. In June 2014, they were able to announce they had met their target six months ahead of schedule. Another interesting site she visited was the Mapo Resource Recovery Plant. “A 20-minute drive out of the city, one arrives at a neat, not enormous structure, set in a garden,” said Clr Humphreys. “This is a biofuel plant and it produces 35 million kW per year, serving 11 700 households. The resultant carbon saving per annum is 47 million
trees.” The touring group also visited an exhibition showcasing the benefits of recycling. “There was a display of the most amazing ‘before and after’ pictures of five of the largest landfill sites, now rehabilitated,” said Clr Humphreys. “One of the pictures was of particular interest to me. It showed the ‘before’ as a denselyoccupied community; not unlike our informal settlements. The people living there were all informal recyclers. The ‘after’ showed a green field with a few buildings and off to one side, an array of modern apartment blocks. This is where the recyclers now live… They also own the apartment blocks. The recycling helped them improve their life circumstances. Recycling is an industry that can provide the jobs, clean up our cities and townships, preserve and regenerate our natural grasslands!” Clr Humphreys said Seoul’s transformation had made her aware of the importance of getting residents educated and involved in environmental initiatives. “The people have been properly and thoroughly included on the need for decisions made based on sound bio sustainable and ecological principles.”

LESSONS FROM SOUTH KOREA
Educating the public “When the value of waste is acknowledged, managed and marketed, dumping will be reduced. The job opportunities are spectacular. We are losing in the region of R17 billion annually by not implementing these (or similar) procedures. This is a figure from Dr Linda Godfrey from the CSIR.” Reinforce initiatives through legislation “Legislation needs to be looked at to reduce the layers of packaging. Items like cosmetics often have multiple unnecessary
layers." Citizens should also be encouraged to take a stand… Leave the packaging at the till! Urban food gardens Derelict and abandoned industrial sites should be turned into food gardens… or eco parks. “Green spaces must be developed and encouraged. These will also mitigate the city hot spots.” Hold a regular Bio Blitz “These would be used to increase awareness and appreciation of the community’s biodiversity.”
Water harvesting “Growing up in the desert, I learned the value of natural resources - that water is life!” said Humphreys. “The recent news coverage of the Madibeng water crisis, makes one appreciate the urgency of these programmes. Water storage needs to become part of stormwater management. Absorbent surfaces for rainwater penetration also need to be encouraged. Concreted, bricked and tarred surfaces, cause a build-up of runoff water which can cause soil erosion and water wastage.”

Good
or bad service?
Have you had bad service at a till point? How about good? The Household Consumer’s League is looking for the best retail teller of the year. But what is a good teller? In the next few months we will give you some hints on service. To start with, a customer wants to be recognized. This means when we are shopping we want someone to acknowledge our existence and make us feel welcome. So many customers gripe that the teller is talking to someone else and ignoring their customer or is surly. This is simply solved with the tellers looking at the customer and greeting them. If the teller needs to speak to someone else they need to ask for the customer to excuse them before they turn their attention from the customer. To enhance the greeting the teller needs to smile. Smiling not only makes the teller
look friendly, but lifts and lightens the voice. Simple? Yes, and it makes all the difference. You as a customer need to respond in kind. We do this when we come across rudeness or bad service, so why not respond to politeness and good service? Or initiate the service you want? Do you smile and greet the person serving you, or do you ignore them? What about talking on the phone or to some else? Service is a two-way street. Our members are coming across increasingly good service as they become good customers and actively look for good service. Would you like to join our campaign? Or maybe you have other consumer issues you would like changed? There is a lot we can do as consumers. The Household Consumer League meets every second Wednesday of the month at the Bedfordview Library at 9 am. All are welcome. For more information or to make a nomination for the best teller awards, contact loizides@b2einternet.co.za

prophets must stop disgraceful conduct ACDP President Rev Kenneth Meshoe recently announced that religious leaders and self-styled prophets who make their followers eat grass, snakes, hair, rats, and even drink petrol, are abusing the trust of their members and should be instructed to stop their disgraceful conduct immediately. “What they are doing is wrong and is bordering on witchcraft and magic and should therefore be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” he said. “They seem to be seeking publicity in the wrong way and in the process are making a mockery of the Christian faith. How does making churchgoers strip off their clothes in church glorify God except to satisfy the lustful eyes of people who want to see naked women in church?” He further stated that the use of the Lord’s name to promote shameful conduct in the House of the Lord should be rejected and condemned by all Bible-believing Christians
as it has nothing to do with the teaching of scriptures. “I therefore call on all ministers of the gospel who have received theological training and
have been in the ministry for more than 30 years, even before some of these self-styled prophets were born, to reprimand these out-of-order individuals who are making a mockery of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” He explained the use of Romans 14 by Penuel Mnguni to legitimise his unbiblical conduct was an abuse of the vulnerable. “If these so-called prophets want to help their communities, then let them help the poor, destitute, and those that are being destroyed by drugs such as nyaope.”

Pluto is turning into
THE PLANET OF YOUR
NIGHTMARES The New Horizons mission to Pluto has been a dream come true for scientists, who’ve waited years to get their first close-up glimpse of the distant dwarf planet. But some of the informal names they’re giving its distinctive features are straight out of nightmares. Since Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld, the names of its features are receiving monikers based on subterranean and suboceanic characters from fiction and mythology. One of the dark regions near Pluto’s south pole, initially called “The Whale” when first spotted from a more distant photo, has now been dubbed Cthulhu, one of the terrible “Great Old Ones” from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu lurks under the sea in the sunken city of R’lyeh. Other features have been named for Mengp’o, the Buddhist goddess of forgetfulness and amnesia, and Balrog, a demon from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series. Two features, Vucub-Came and Hun-Came, are named after Mayan death gods. There’s also Krun, named after a Mandaean lord of the underworld, and Ala, the Ibo ruler of the underworld. Besides being colourful, the names serve a purpose for scientists as well. “We got tired of calling it the dark spot on
the left and the dark spot on the right,” Jeffrey M. Moore, the leader of the mission’s geology, geophysics and imaging team, told The New York Times. The names are considered informal, but may be presented to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which is responsible for naming celestial objects, to become the official designations of the locations. IAU typically gives naming priority to those who have made the discovery. The names are taken from the winners of an online poll at www.ourpluto.org. Other high-ranking names that could soon find a home on Pluto or its moon, Charon, include Tartarus (the Greek pit of lost souls), Hades (the Greek name for Pluto) and Anubis (the jackal-headed Egyptian god, one of several associated with death and the underworld), as well as several names related to the works of Tolkien. While many of the unusual names have captured the collective imagination of earthlings on the internet, it’s the decision to honour the tentacled Cthulhu that has lit up social media.

Gunman kills four Marines R1 COINS BRING FAMILY DOWN TO EARTH AT TENNESSEE NAVY FACILITY
Reality was no laughing matter for a family that decided to spend their monthly income using only R1 coins in July, when the cash was dramatically dumped on their living room floor. They are the One Rand Family, who are taking part in Sanlam’s Savings Month experiment - a year after the One Rand Man piqued the curiosity of South Africans
with a similar stunt. The family lives in an upmarket home bought late last year and, on the surface, life is great. But they suspect they are living beyond their means. According to City Press personal finance journalist Maya Fisher-French, the family’s suspicions aren’t far off. “The family has no contingency budget and is spending a huge amount on depreciating assets – for example, their cars,’’ FisherFrench said. With their online banking blocked, their bank, credit and store cards safely locked up, and their salaries lying in a massive heap of coins on the floor, it remains to be seen how dealing with one rand coins will impact the family’s attitude towards money. (www.fin24.com)
The gunman who shot and killed four Marines on Thursday during two attacks at military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., has been identified as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News. Abdulazeez, 24, was born in Kuwait, a U.S. official told Fox. It was not immediately clear if he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen. He was reported to be from Hixson, Tenn., just across the Tennessee River from Chattanooga. The law enforcement source said preliminary reports indicate Abdulazeez, who also died, was not on the FBI’s radar leading up to Thursday’s attacks. A defense official told Fox he was killed by law enforcement officers and did not commit suicide. The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center said it has seen nothing so far to connect Abdulazeez to any terrorist organiation. But it noted that the Islamic
State group (ISIS) has been encouraging extremists to carry out attacks in the U.S. “We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism,” said Bill Killian, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee. At a news conference late Thursday, FBI agent Ed Reinhold said there was “no indication at this point that anybody else was involved.” (www.foxnews.com)

SENIOR VICTOR LUDORUM: Liam Burks runs the 400m event and contends in the long-jump challenge.
RIDE FOR A REASON
A Cycling Fun Run will be held on 26 July to raise funds for 14-yearold Marais Viljoen High School learner Brendon MacDonald. MacDonald suffers from a growing scoliosis. This is a curvature of his spinal cord which could result in his eventually having to use a wheelchair. He will be having an operation on 28 July and funds raised from the event will help with the massive medical bill. The cycling team leader will be Mark Segers from DOC cycling group and the event will be held at the Boswell Wilkie Circus and Coffee Shop, situated on the R59 near the Engen garage (see www.circus.co.za).

The stakes were high with the 3rd and final ODI between the Proteas and Bangladesh, with each team having won one ODI. At first it seemed as if the series would end in a draw due to heavy rain delays but after three hours of waiting, the skies cleared and play could
continue, with the overs being reduced to 40. The Protea wickets fell quickly, with only Miller and Duminy managing to push up the Proteas’ total. Bangladesh was clearly ready for the challenge, hitting 21 fours in just over 26 overs to clinch a victory by 9 wickets.
There will be a 12km and 32km route, which will begin at 10am. All participants will receive medals. The entry fee is R100 for children and R250 for adults. Entry fees need to be paid in advance, after which entrants will receive a number via SMS to be presented at the event in order to claim a free burger and refreshments. There will also be raffles at the event to raise as much as possible. Entry fees can be paid into the following account: Help Brendon Capitec Flexible Savings Account Account number: 1420849644 Branch code: 470 010 For more information, contact lizalong34@gmail. com.
