What’s on at the Movies ?

PLETT MOVIE HOUSE TEL: 044-533 3952 THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Drama This Swedish film has a long and complex plot, but basically involves a resourceful and violent female computer hacker who teams up with a disgraced financial journalist to investigate the mysterious death of a young woman forty years ago. Expect graphic sex and violence scenes. In Swedish language with English subtitles. CAST: Michale Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Lene Endre, Peter Haber, Sven-Bertil Taube

THE OTHER GUYS Action, Comedy We're all familiar with the two action hero cops, typically mismatched, who solve their cases regardless of the cost to other people. Someone has to do their paperwork... The Other Guys. This is their story, in a parody of the genre. Two deskbound clerks get bumped into the field when the city's two supercops are out of action, and get to track down (wait for it) a ponzi scammer. Expect plenty of genre-type hijinks and explosions... with a comic twist. Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson

CLOSING OF NEW HORIZONS LIBRARY New Horizons Library will be closed from 19 November 2010 due to close down stock taking, as well as the start of the New Library Project. Users are welcome to use other Library facilities in the Bitou Area. The Community will also be updated with information regarding Interim Services. We apologize for any inconvenience.

SLUITING VAN NEW HORIZONS BIBLIOTEEK New Horizon Biblioteek sal gesluit wees vanaf 19 November 2010 as gevolg van ‘n sluitings voorraad opname asook die begin van ‘n nuwe biblioteek projek. Gebruikers is intussen welkom om adner biblioteekdienste te gebruik in die Bitou Area. Ons vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief. Municipal Manager / Munisipale Bestuurder L Ngoqo Notice NO 198 Japanese Volunteers planting in South Africa for the people and the planet. On 6 November 80 volunteers from Japan will visit South Africa to plant trees and food gardens in disadvantaged communities in the Western and Eastern Cape, including the planting of 2 000 indigenous trees to rehabilitate some of the Tsitsikamma forest. These volunteers are on a tree planting and food gardening goodwill mission to South Africa

coordinated by the 'Wonderful World Tree Planting Festival', a Japanese based organisation, Food & Trees For Africa (FTFA), South Africa’s greening, climate change action and food security social enterprise since 1990, and The Green Ticket, who are involved in a rehabilitation project in Tsitsikamma region in co-operation with South African National Parks. Leading the Japanese group are Earthwalker Paul Coleman, who has walked over 47 000 km, through 39 nations spreading the environmental message, Hiromitsu Noriyasu (Tentsukuman), a well known Japanese comedian. The event showcases the importance of volunteerism and cultural exchange and builds on FTFAs message of “One can make a difference”. The Japanese volunteers of The Wonderful World Tree Planting Festival will plant more than 3 000 fruit and indigenous trees, shrubs and a variety of medicinal and nutritional plants in the form of food gardens for disadvantaged communities. Most of these trees and gardens are sponsored by the Japanese visitors and other individuals in Japan. This well organised tour features speakers from around the world, a very popular Japanese rock band, Funkist, bungy jumping from

Bloukrans bridge, a trip to Addo Elephant Park, a tour of carbon neutral Backsberg Wine Estate, who have just launched the Tread Lightly campaign, a visit to Cape Point, tree plantings and food gardens in Khayelitsha, Klapmuts, Ocean View, Zwide and Motherwell. This new form of eco/voluntourism enables people to individually take the positive actions that they wish to see in this world, in places where their actions are much appreciated. Throughout the trip an effort will be made to introduce to the Japanese the various aspects of South Africa including its natural beauty, biodiversity, its people and its cultures. This is the second South African tour of the group following the successful journey FTFA organised last year to Gauteng and the Royal Bafokeng Nation. Out of these two trips, $250 000 has entered the local economy, through such expeditures as entertainment, hotels, transportation, shopping and food, with $30 000 directly invested into the trees and gardens planted and created. For more information or to attend any of the plantings please email info@trees.org.za and see www.trees.co.za and www.earthwalker.com. WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT – 11 NOVEMBER 2010

Shaping our world— the Barefoot Guide

“In the end the aggressors always destroy themselves making way for others who know how to co-operate and get along. Life is much less a competitive struggle than a triumph of co-operation and creativity “ Plett Aid in the face of aggressive disease, difficult community and cultural dynamics this team manifests and aspires to the culture of co-operation and creativity. “What is required is a deep respect for what is local and indigenous and a subtlety of practice to give thoughtful and careful support where it is needed.” At Plett Aid the flavor and unique quality of each individual is recognized, nurtured and respected. This applies to the people Plett Aid serves, and the team of caregivers. When a home based caregiver encounters a patient who needs extreme physical attention, for weeping ulcerated sores, she aspires to give the same care to the extreme emotional pain often projected onto the caregiver in the form of aggressive, rude and disrespectful behavior. She learns to put aside her own feelings in order to remain caring and professional in the face of her patients’ extreme emotional and physical discomfort. “Life seeks organization, but it uses messes to get there. Organization is a process not a structure.” Plett Aid is not perfect- although it is a ‘pocket of excellence’- it acknowledges its imperfections and grows through them. Plett Aid is an organization that is able to express the free will of its team. Decision making comes from a consciousness and free choice and it is not only subject to the will and whims of those outside who may seek to control or exploit it. This is difficult to practice.

Personal Attention Excellent Service Quality Merchandise Great Prices

Often vibrant, disorganized community based organizations have to fit themselves, their work, structure, language and their life into the framework and requirements of the funders. Sometimes lively volunteer based organizations are being built into more professional organizations, losing their character and representing only those interests of the community that align themselves with funding and Department criteria. They become better behaved citizens possibly alleviating poverty in the short term, but angry only when the funding slows down, but no longer at the injustices out of which they are born. Sometimes all the food parcels and grants backfire. They provide a short term solution, but can foster an attitude of being looked after by, rather than being self empowered. Development without ownership has long accompanied the deepening poverty of the marginalized of this world. Plett Aid is very aware of the dangers of these short term solutions and despite these huge challenges, it always returns and remains true to its vision. We have all heard it said ‘It’s still working so why change it?’ People who say this do not realize that changing only when you have to usually means it’s too late already. That if you don’t anticipate the future, you could be run over by it.

Freddy Fourie

Plett mourns the sudden passing of Freddie from Molomoto. He was loved and respected by many people in Plett. We share this tribute from Alan which he gave at the memorial service which was held on Tuesday: Its been 13 years since I first met Freddy. Always came across as a charismatic chap with a heart the size of and elephant. This was my first introduction. Ironically at the time not far behind Freddy was Douglas. At the time I owned Steers in Plett and my Nickname for them was Batman and Robin. With time you see values in people that you become attracted to. Its been three years since our association became closer due to a business relationship. Ironically one of Freddy’s requests were that wherever he went Dougie would be part of it. Its been an awesome ride with a man born with petrol in his veins and a passion for cars of all sorts. Freddy became Legend in Plett with knowledge that would make encyclopedia brittanica look tame. He was free with advice, direction and went the extra mile for those he liked. He called a spade and at times I had to supply soap for occasional rinsing. He guarded those closest to him and became a father figure to many at Ebenezer where he lived. Freddy and Ida had a home with an open door policy and many were mentored, fed and watered, loved and cherished, restored and released into bigger things. Most days Freddy had a cooler box that fed 3, Ida packed that red cooler box day in and day out and when it arrived at work it was like feeding the five thousand. Freddy was the most unselfish person I have ever met and money was never his God. He was soft and gentle and gave freely, often laughing together reflecting on the day to day. Ida, you were the apple in Fred’s eye and he loved you dearly, together you made an amazing team with pastoral hearts. We spoke often about God and Freddy had a special relationship with Him. Freddy, You left us in the prime of your life, a legacy that we will forever cherish and memories we could never .forget. The saying goes you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family. He started out as a friend and each- 11 one at the 2010 WHAT'S NEW like IN PLETT NOVEMBER

workplace we became family because those were the values he upheld, he was a husband to Ida, a brother to me, a father to some, a mentor to many and by way of each one gathered here today he was a blessing to all of us. You will forever be in our hearts, a special individual that we will never be able to replace in our life time. Till we meet again.

Gone are the days where by our mother, sisters and women in general were only allowed to do household duties such as cleaning, cooking and looking after children while their husbands were at work. South African women have been taking over and playing a very meaning role in many industries lately as you might have noticed them in parliament claiming equal opportunity as men. Now there is SAWICA a national organization for women in construction, bear in mind construction is one of the industries that many had label as men’s only industry as they say it requires manpower but women still steaking on 50/50 rule. On Friday 5th Novemebr Bitou women were gathered at Simunye hall to launch Bitou SA WIC branch, an event which was attended by SA WIC provincial chairperson Ms. Mpumi Pakade, Vuyiswa Ndakane Mbutyane also from SA WIC provincial, Bitou executive mayor Lulama Mvimbi, deputy mayor Monica Seyisi, Councilor Tanda,

people to be involved and organize themselves when they come to municipality for assistance as it is not easy to help individuals but when a group of people come to propose for something that will benefit many people its much easier, he also said we are just free political but not economical, we must try to work together to win the power to develop economy. SA WIC must not only force government to give work to communities such as development of shopping centers in townships, those tenders must be given to black people even projects in town must given to qualified black construction said Bitou executive mayor Lulama Mbimbi before his deputy Monica Seyisi make a big announcement that 10 of the housing projects will be allocated for women in construction, lets work together and fight for construction procedures and encourage women to do all the necessary registration so that their companies can be in the right standard and be able to build good quality houses in the same standard as the one that is built by men.

Desalination Plant will bring welcome relief to dry Southern Cape

Following the worst drought in 138 years in the Southern Cape with no immediate respite in sight, Plettenberg Bay has been declared a disaster area. Specialised water treatment company and subsidiary of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, VWS Envig, has been awarded a turnkey contract to the value of R32 million by the Bitou Municipality to design, build and maintain a desalination plant able to deliver two million litres of potable water per day to alleviate the crisis. Sea water will be abstracted from seven boreholes at a depth of 12m each, sunk close to the landmark Beacon Isle Hotel. The beach sand will act as a filter, followed by other pre-treatment phases, upon which the water will be treated by seawater reverse osmosis membranes. After considering various options and taking into account factors such as the eco-sensitive zones on the pristine coastline, cost, land availability and infrastructure, it was decided to build the plant on a tennis court belonging to the Municipality at the hotel, where much of the pipe work and electricity supply is available “Originally water was to be extracted from Robberg beach, but due to shallow rock barriers, the holes did not produce enough water. Test results have indicated that the salinity of the water from

the current abstraction point will be in line with the expected and falls within the scope of what the plant can treat,” explains Pierre Fourie, Project Manager, VWS Envig Paarl office Abstracting out of the estuary and discharging into the sea are two major environmental concerns that VWS Envig are faced with. “We have opted to discharge the brine into the sea at the Blinders, where the tides and wave action over the rocks will ensure a good mix and no significant adverse effect on the environment. Over the next year, we will be drawing regular water samples to monitor the situation and to ensure that we minimise the negative impact on the estuary. This will enable us to act proactively,” says Fourie. To further minimise the environmental impact, the building that will house the plant features a flat concrete roof that will be planted with indigenous succulents to reduce noise. “We have paid particular attention to ensure that the building is aesthetically pleasing and as green as possible,” says Fourie. Mechanical energy recuperation units are used to further make the plant more energy efficient. VWS Envig manages the project and is responsible for process design as well as the civil, mechanical and electrical work on the plant. “Timelines are tight; the plant is due

Brief via die Redaktrise Na aanleiding van my brief (TIKMONSTER) gerig aan u 21/10/10. Ons eerste bymekaarkoms was maar swak bygewoon deur die gemeenskap van New Horizons. Dit het my egter verbaas hoeveel mense my daarna gekontak het, wat wel belangstel en selfs hulp aanbied met wat ook al beplan word. Dit beteken dat daar nou geen omdraai kans meer is nie. Ek wil egter een iets baie duidelik maak, en dit is dat ek nie ‘n

organisasie wil stig nie, daarvoor is die CAB daar. Net soos vir my en baie ander, was en is hulle ‘n hegte ondersteuningsgroep aan afhanklikes sowel as die families. My werk is nie om vingers te wys nie maar eerder samewerking te motiveer. As ek net ouers, vriende, familie, en die gewone mens daarbuite kan betrokke kry by hierdie veldtog teen TIK in ons gemeenskap, glo ek dat ons ‘n verskil kan maak.Op hierdie stadium, het ek slegs n raamwerk van die pad vorentoe, maar ek glo dat met die hulp van die Here, en die samewerking van die gemeenskap, organisasies en kerke KAN hierdie monster aangepak word en verslaan word. Die antwoorde lê in ons gemeenskap!!!! Volgende Byeenkoms sal wees op Maandag 15 Nov 10 om 19h00 in die New Life Centre (Ou koeberg Tavern) in Saringastraat Newhorizons. Ek hoop om u almal daar te sien. Baie dankie. NEED INVOICE BOOKS?

DEBT PROBLEMS?

When I am in trouble what should I do? You are normally the first person to know that you are heading for debt trouble and the biggest mistake that people make is to do nothing. In the majority of cases the problem is ignored. If you know you are heading for debt trouble follow the

Best Price Best Quality following steps: - Stop making new debt. This means no more new loans and no more purchases on your credit cards or store cards. - Take stock where you are. Draw up a detailed budget and list all your debt. Most people are afraid to list their debt. This is why it is important to write them down. - Ensure that your budget is balanced. A balanced budget follows the 35-25-35 principal. 35 percent of your monthly income should be used for household expenses, 25 percent of your monthly income on financial services such as pension, insurance, assurance, medial aid and other savings and 35 percent of your monthly income on monthly debt repayments. If you need more in one of the three categories one or both of the other categories should be reduced. Use 5 percent of your income to save for an emergency. If your monthly debt repayments exceed 50 percent of your monthly income you are in trouble and this requires immediate action. If your monthly debt repayments consumes between 30 to 40 percent of your monthly income use the interest rate reductions to repay your debt faster. To do this keep on paying the higher repayment. This is a proactive action to keep you out of trouble. - Balance your budget. This can only be done if you increase income or reduce expenditure. In most cases it is difficult to increase income and therefore you have to cut expenditure. To do this you have to cut luxuries like DSTV, entertainment, food and travel. It is however a fact that most people are reluctant to do this even if this offers immediate results. - Make this a family issue. Don’t keep this you yourself. Talk about it. You can approach your Credit Provider to reschedule your debt to enable you to reduce the monthly payment. - The next option is to scale down. If

you have a fancy or expensive car, sell it and buy a small car. There are plenty on the market. If you are renting move to a small place or move in with family. If you are repaying a bond rent out a room or rent out your house and move in with family or cheap rented place. - If the above steps do not resolve your problem, you need to get professional help. Don’t wait until you receive telephone calls or letters from your Credit Providers. Take action now. Make an appointment with a NCR registered Debt Counsellor and investigate the option of Debt Counselling as set out in the NCA. You have a right in terms of the NCA to apply for Debt Counselling and you are protected when you follow the process. This is not a negative process. In fact this is a proactive positive process to get you out of trouble in a structured way with the protection that the NCA offers. Most employers actively support this process. The message is don’t wait. If you need it get the process going immediately. The Debt Counsellor will inform you about your rights and will protect you during the process. Debt Counselling has already assisted thousands of individuals to reduce stress and to resolve their debt problems.

Letter via the Editor Thank you to the team for many wonderful years of interesting and entertaining reading. RE PREPAID ELECTRICITY MY EXPERIENCE There is much discussion concerning the option of a pre-paid electrical meter. I should like to share this with my fellow residents of Plettenberg Bay. Thirteen years ago, while living in Welkom, my electrical bill did not decrease after both my children left home. I had the council test the meter and it was not faulty. I then opted for a pre-paid electrical meter. Within three months, the reduction in the electricity bill, had paid for the meter. We then relocated to White River, the home we purchased, had a pre-paid electrical meter already installed. I ran a small business from my home in White River. In the six years, in White River, I purchased an average of one hundred rands per week, of electricity. The home had a pool, 4 fridges, office equipment running, washing and ironing of staff uniforms; as well as normal daily household electrical use. I do believe that was a fair cost and never found I had to monitor the meter. Over the years I have asked the council to review our option and right to install a pre-paid meter, with no joy. As a matter of interest, comparing council bills, I have found monthly sewerage, for the same amount of toilets, is more than double in Plettenberg Bay, which I should love to see investigated, as well. We are constantly reminded on national television to turn off appliances, due to excessive usage, when levels are high. The benefits for the council receiving payment in advance, far out way any perceived loss of revenue. Our wonderful country has seen many changes for the benefit of our nation. In these economic and power conservation times, we should have the right to choose and allow change that we believe, are benefits for the community. Where do we go from here, fellow residents, to exercise our rights?

Bitou Business Buzz TRANSPARENCY...is vital if we are to succeed the Executive Mayor Lulama Mvimbi said at the opening of the public meeting held last Saturday at the Piesang Valley Community hall. Tourism was the main topic with the possibility of restructuring the present set up. The meeting was very well attended with over a hundred people present. Dr. Sihle Moon of Strategic Consulting Services, is the consultant appointed by council, to compile a report highlighting the way forward as far as tourism is concerned. A crucial aspect of the strategy is how tourism is to be structured and how it will function. Several meetings have been held in the various communities and opinions have been taken into consideration. Basically a section 21company will be considered with a Tourism Advisory Committee to become the Plett Tourism Board with representation including the community and municipality. The proposed structure creates an entity which institutionally will be able to better to respond to issues and challenges. The new board will be composed of six representatives of Sport, Activities, Restaurants, Accommodation, and Retail. Four representatives of Kwanokuthala, Kranshoek, New Horizons and the Crags/Wittedrift. One representative of the Bitou Municipality and Ex-officio members of Plett Tourism. Also the chairperson of the Plett Environmental Forum and the Plett

Treat your feet to TOROS

We are so blessed to have dynamic South African business folk as well as those that hail from Europe, America and the United Kingdom bringing their skills and enthusiasm to our town, . The latest addition to the ‘Made in Plett ‘ brand is Toros. Thomas & Sylvia Peter ( a lovely friendly and fun German couple) have brought the Spanish Toros shoe manufacturing company to our town.. The shoes originated in Germany but have become extremely popular in Spain. The name Toros is Spanish which is plural for bulls. The bull is Spain’s national animal. In years gone by, farmers used to make their own shoes and these needed to be comfortable and durable. Toros have now evolved into fashionable shoes which suit all ages and feet—both men and ladies feet look good in them. The Toros Shoe is very comfortable and durable. It is made from 100% leather (with a suede inner sole) and contains no metals. Thomas used to wear Toros shoes on his trips to South Africa and was always asked to bring or send shoes to his friends and acquaintances, so it was a natural progression for a man who loves Toros shoes and loves South Africa, and in particular Plett, to combine both these passions . The Toros team includes the foreman at the small factory in the Industrial area, Alister Ryan who has a number of years experience in making leather belts and bags ; Madomzi Kula is the skilled machinist and Sipho Gatyeni, is an enthusiastic trainee. The shoes are handmade in 17 steps using only natural leathers. Although the machines came from Spain, all other materials are South African. There are 2 types of leather. One firmer than the other. The good news is also that if you have problem feet (Bunions etc) Toros shoes can still be very comfortable. The soft leather does not hurt and moulds to your feet. There is a wonderful selection of bright happy colours as well as black, brown, white and tan. They even have a small range of fun animal prints - cobra, croc and leopard., making the Plett Toros brand uniquely South African and Proudly Plett. Make your feet Happy and treat them to the comfort of Toros. Enquiries: 044 533 4540

Snippets for the Week by Heidi

I never imagined that this work I created for myself, could become so very difficult. I find it very rewarding to collect dogs and cats from the communities for sterilization. Our aim is to reduce the number of animals, and we are achieving this on a daily basis. It is unimaginable what is really happening to some of the animals. To think that there is actually someone who is neutering male dogs, free of charge, from his shack, without using anaesthetic! How painful this must be for these poor animals. I was asked to remove dogs from Kwano that had very bad mange. These dogs were in a bad state - but I found the neighbour's dog to be so much worse. His chain was tied so tightly around his neck, he was starving, in the hot sun, and with only an empty water bowl. His owners were both at work! While delivering a puppy who had been vaccinated, to his home in Kwano, the Municipality had just collected the carcass of a dog - he had strangled himself on the wire which was tied around his neck. Strange that our new Law Enforcement Officers are fining us R500 for

letting our dogs off a leash on the beach, yet the new By-Laws do not seem to apply to all citizens in the area. Thank you to everyone who supports our project. Because we have extra funds available, we are now able to vaccinate each animal that is sterilised. We have also treated dogs for burns (again), parvovirus, ear infections, puncture wounds and so on. It is just not possible to pass any animal that is in need of treatment of some sort. Thank you to Dr van Reenen for always being available, to help where needed. Thank you so very much to the GALS (Golf & Animal Lovers Society) for arranging such a splendid Golf Day on Sunday past. Your generous donation of R1 920.00 is greatly appreciated. Healing Energy If we think defeat, that is what we will get. If we are undecided, nothing will happen. We must just choose something great to do and do it. Heidi 082 212 1613

Conservation Corner

The Tsitsikamma Marine Protected Area (MPA) is the oldest ‘no –take zone’ in the world and was established in 1967. Aside from being a beautiful, pristine area with incredible biodiversity; it is also a breeding ground for numerous species, and supplies thousands of kilometers of coastline with fish. There is currently a movement to open the Tsitsikamma MPA and allow fishing in the area. If this happens, all of the large breeding fish will be fished out within approximately forty days – undoing forty years of careful protection. In 2000 the government declared our fish stocks to be in a state of emergency, and now only

10% of fish remain (compared to 100 years ago). It is therefore crucial that we protect coastal breeding grounds and allow stocks to recover before it is too late. MPA’s are the solution to this crisis that our fish stocks currently face, and it is vital that we protect them. The ORCA Foundation is running an online petition against the opening of the Tsitsikamma MPA. Please visit www.orcafoundation.com for more information, and to add your name to the growing list of local residents who want to protect this invaluable section of our coastline.
