Well done to all the dads and children who made Mother’s day special for that amazing lady in your lives. It was most interesting to listen to a talk by Judith Sealy at the Historical Society on the past 5000 years . We hope to share more about it in a future edition. The rain has been furious but mostly fabulous. There has been a bit of damage to jetties, and some folk reported up to 180mm in just 24hours. Our Tourism Team and a number of our accommodation and adventure operators have just been up to Indaba in Durban. Trust you did Plett proud and we look forward to seeing all the visitors generated by it soon. The Formosa Primary students had a great surprise when Springbok Rugby coach Pieter De Villiers paid them a surprise visit. What a down to earth but very inspirational man. Plett, full of super surprises and happy happenings. Have a great week.

Ons bogenoemde organisasie wil deur middel van die skrywe ons vreugde en dankbaarheid betuig aan al die pastore in New Horizons wat die besluit geneem het om in eenheid op te staan teen die euwels van dwelm en drank misbruik in hierdie gemeenskap waaroor ons al baie skrywes gerig het in What’s New in die verlede. Dankie vir elke pastor se kragtige toespraak wat gelewer was by die geleentheid wat gereel is om die inwoners van die gemeenskap in te lig oor die planne wat u het ten opsigte van dwelm en drank misbruik, die grootste vernietiger van mense se lewens uit te wis in die magtige naam van Koning Jesus waarop ons maar net ja-Amen kan sê. Aan pastoor Howard en Crystal Smith wat die leiding geneem het in die verband. U het daarmee ‘n bron van hoop en redding bewerkstellig vir baie mense in New Horizons. Aan alle inwoners van New Horizons die tyd van saamstaan in die gemeenskap het aangebreek. Kom help die kerke om u man, vrou, kind, Familielid, Vriend of kollegas te red uit die vernietigende mag van tik, mandrax, dagga, drank en alerlei

Pieter De Villiers inspires students and staff
It was a great morning for students and staff at Formosa Primary School when Springbok Coach Pieter de Villiers visited the school last Wednesday morning. He stayed at the Beacon Island en -route to Cape Town and was able to fit in a quick visit to Formosa at the request of a local friend, to encourage their young rugby players and staff. Pieter is an ex-educator himself and shared how important it is to be the best you can be. Also accept the situations you are placed in because that is important for your growth. Your envy of others may block your path to greatness. Not to copy others but to find your true self. It is also so important for teachers and parents to instil a sense of pride in their local heroes, so that the young people have local role models to emulate. Pieter de Villiers still holds the record for matches won under his coaching .. So his expertise and experience is worth noting. We wish him and his team much success in the upcoming Rugby Season including the World Cup.

HALF PRICE Tues & Thurs Website: www.helloplett.co.za NEVER LET ME GO This rather heavy movie features strong performances. Set in a 'possible alternate' world back in the 1950s, we follow three young people who all attended the same private school together. They're not actually people as we would know them, but specially-bred clones, whose sole purpose in life is to provide healthy body parts on demand, for 'real' people. They will donate an organ even if they die as a result. The film examines this situation through the three friends, thereby provoking the viewer to examine their own lives and how they are programmed into for example, accepting their lives as consumers. CAST: Carey Mulligan , Andrew Garfield, Kiera Knightley, Isobel Meikle-Small, Charlie Rowe, Ella Purnell, Charlotte Rampling, Sally Hawkins

for the new millennium. A young man and woman bump into each other a few times over the years as they grow up. Now, as young adults, she is a med student with little time but great sexual needs, so they agree to become friends with benefits, and are soon at it like bunny rabbits. However, Hollywood dictates that they will Develop Feelings, and they do, complicating things before the happy resolution. CAST: Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Kline, Cary Elwes, Greta Gerwig, Lake Bell, Olivia Thirlby, Ludacris
UNKNOWN A scientist and his wife arrive in Germany for a conference. He forgets his briefcase at the airport, and immediately goes back to look for it (the eternal optimist!). Unfortunately he is involved in an accident en route, and wakes up after four days, in hospital. Upon returning to his hotel, his wife claims to not recognise him, and she has a new husband claiming to be him. Is he going crazy, or is there something much bigger and more dangerous going on?... CAST: Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, Frank Langella, Sebastian Koch

I would like to nominate Charles Dreyer for this Award. A very close friend of mine relocated to Plettenberg Bay recently. Late afternoon on Freedom Day she found herself without electricity. For 2 hours she tried in vain to contact anybody at the numerous "after hour emergency " telephone numbers given by the Municipality. She phoned us finally for help. I tried some of the numbers...no reply !! In desperation I phoned Charles Dreyer, our Ward Counsillor for help. He excused himself from a meeting that he was attending, went to my friend’s house, convinced himself that the fault was not in the house and then actually managed to find someone who could attend to the problem.

WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT - 12 MAY 2011
THE DA PLAN FOR BITOU The DA will return fair, efficient and accountable government to Bitou Municipality.
ACCOUNTABILITY – We will Run a Council that is dignified and respects the rules of order. Hold all councillors and officials accountable for their actions and decisions. Establish an independent municipal ombudsman to deal with complaints and disputes.
ADMINISTRATION – We will Eliminate corruption, fraud, nepotism, cronyism and tenderpreneurs. Concentrate on service delivery within the municipal mandate. Exercise the utmost fiscal responsibility. Direct funding to address real needs as opposed to luxuries for councillors and senior officials. Appointments will be on a fit-for-purpose basis only. Promotions will be on merit only. Internal training and promotion will be favoured over outside appointments. Revamp under-performing departments to ensure efficient service delivery.
JOBS – We will Transform poverty relief projects into properly managed and focussed projects. Wherever possible temporary projects will be developed to become self sustainable in the long term. Include skills training and education in poverty relief projects. Use internship projects to identify excellence from among our local youth and reward that with further education and/or permanent employment. We will actively market Plett to investors. We will open up the tender process and strictly apply the Supply Chain Management Policy. Put in place proper spatial development and zoning plans to ensure properly structured development and growth.
HOUSING – We will Establish fair and proper housing lists per project. Ensure that all housing lists are permanently available for scrutiny by anybody. Ensure that persons receiving housing also receive title deeds for the property.
CIVIL SERVANTS – We will Ensure that councillors and officials SERVE. Ensure that officials dedicate themselves to their municipal employment and not to private business interests. Involve all councillors, regardless of political affiliation in council decisions and work. Ensure that all ward councillors are freely available to constituents.

Tshisa Talent artists hotting up local events.
Local artists are reaping the rewards of taking part in Lunchbox Theatre’s Tshisa Talent program as they perform on various stages at local events. The Tshisa Talent contest that was held in 2010 saw over 400 individual Bitou based performers compete for the coveted prize of Tshisa Talent artist of the year. Many of those who took part in the contest have been employed through Lunchbox Theatre to work their magic at a number of local events. The Bitou Tourism Street Festival at the end of last year saw 15 of these local artists on the Main Street stage entertaining 100s of locals and visitors. 2010 finalists Ammori Sass and the Unlimited Band (Donovan and Priscilla) have taken giant leaps with their talent. They were chosen to participate in the ABSA KKNK artist development program that saw 100s of national artists auditioning for a place to be part of the development program. Not only did Ammori, Donovan and Priscilla manage to get through the very challenging first round but they all made it through to the finals and were awarded with the wonderful

News from PAWS
Our thanks to all our helpers and supporters is endless and your donations, food for the animals in our baskets at the supermarkets, the many ways that the people of Plett show that they care is greatly valued. Our thanks too, to the supermarkets in town who allow us to place our appeal baskets in their stores. PAWS is very pleased with the interest shown in our revamped website. For those of you who are first-time readers of this report, our address is: www.plettanimalwelfare.co.za. We have concentrated on a number of important aspects of PAWS which we feel will be of great help to the community at large. It is worth repeating that the LOST AND FOUND section is updated on a daily basis and we find that this is working well. So, if you find your dog or cat have wandered away from home, please look on the website to see whether it has been found. Alternatively, contact the PAWS cell phone 083 287 9917 (which is constantly manned by a committee member) to report finding a lost animal. We have already reported on the very successful Spay-a-thon which was held atththe Plett Aid Foundation on April 17 . Another successful event recently held by PAWS was the PAWS Adoption Day held at the Market Square on Saturday, April 30th. We were able to find homes for 2 cats, 2 kittens and 2 puppies – not bad for a last minute event! Shelley, the mastermind behind the Adoption Day would like to see one being held every month at the Market Square as a good deal of interest was shown by the public and, hopefully, once the word gets around, more and more animals will find good homes and the euthanasia rate will drop. Just to remind you, we plan to
hold a Street Collection in June and November of this year, a jumble/ garage/white elephant sale every three months, the first being scheduled for the 1st July, 2011, and our PAWS Annual Dog Walk in October. Check on our website for more details regarding these events. Ronelle Thomson’s work with the children of Qolweni is ongoing and she would be very grateful for any form of assistance, be it as a volunteer, donation of finger paints, crayons, paper, etc. The full story of Ronelle’s project can be found on our website and she can be contacted on 072 420 8758 with offers of help. Details of the progress of the PAWS Premises Project can be found on our website. Please contact our Membership Secretary, Karen Hounsom regarding any queries about becoming a member of PAWS. She can be contacted on 082 658 4757. And last, but not least (at least for this report) is our ongoing plea for foster parents for dogs and cats who would otherwise have to be euthanased. PLEASE contact the PAWS cell phone 083 287 9917 should you be in a position to help. Till the next time … CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST Dr. Ilza Botha. Tel: (Knysna) 044-382 3518/cell: 076 116 1132.

Dit is weerees wonderlik dat die skool weereens die geleentheid het om indrukke te laat op mense te lewens aangaan die skool. Hier na ’n lekker tydperk by die huis is ons weereens hard besig met die akadiemee program. Ons gebruik ook die geleentheid om die Bitou Munisipaliteit dankie te sê vir die sny van ons gras. Dit help met die bervordering van die leerproses en is daar opregte dank te betuig. Verdet wil die skool al sy leerders sterkte toeweus herdie kwartaal en dat hulle in alle opsigte baat sal vind by die skool. Ons mikput is om uitslae van elke leerder te help verbeter en met die samewerking van ouers kan ‘n kultuur van leer wet bevorder word. Ons kan met vennootskappe soos BIA, Bitou Foundation en die WKOD asook ander hulp ons bes doen. Net soos ons sukses meet met toetse, projekte eksamens ens, so kan deur overande en uitnodigings leerders help stuur in die regte rigting...elke tree tel , elke poging is belangrik. Ons het die afgelope weet speel ons teen Harkerville volg maar ons vordering op sportgebied..Alle voorsspoed Wat praat on alles? Na die naweek se mildelike reënval is daar baie om voor dankbaar te wees in ‘n waterskaars area. Ek dink dat selfs die soetste suikerklontjie sal samstem dat die reën op ‘n broodnodige stadium gekom het. Wel, die koue wat saam met die reen gekom het ag ons ook ‘n louter plesier. Hopenlik kan die reen ook ons siel en ons gees benat en ons aanspoor om almal net die beste te soek in elke geleentheid. Besek van Edu-Peg Dit was ‘n baie leersame ervaring vir die span by dis skool wat lesse aangebied het en selfs (vir die Edu–Peg span omdat leer altyd nuut bly en elke ervaring uniek is. So in daai lig se ons baie dankie aan die betrokke opvoeders en leerders. Die skool is trots op julle omdat ons nooit vir enige uitdaging terugdeins nie. Ons sien trouens uit na Edu-Peg se besoek weer volgende jaar. Sport Ons het verlede week gemengde welslae beleef met die sport. Die sokker het 0/11 verloor, 0/13 gewen en die meisies het gelykop gespeel. Die rugby het 0/9 gewen, 0/11 ver-
loor en 0/13 het ver gewen. Ongelukkeg was daar geen suksesse met die netbal nie. Harder probeer meisies, ons doen dit volgende keer. Die week ontvang ons Harkerville ter plaatse en ons sal daroor berig doen volgende week. Ons erf die aarde van ons ouers nie, ons leer dit van ons kinders “Native American tribal chief Mooiloop en goedgaan tot volgende week. Kranshoek Primêr Personeel Skrywer J J Claassen Proud member of the Bitou 10 FAMSA (Families SA) WOMEN AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE (IPV) continued MYTHS Myth 6: If women were really bothered by the abuse, they would speak up. Reality:Assaulted victims remain silent for valid reasons. They believe they and their loved ones will be at an even greater risk if they disclose the abuse. They may believe the abuse is their fault so feel great shame and embarrassment. Female role conditioning, with its emphasis on passivity and compliance, perpetuates a victim position in life. Ironically, those women courageous enough to challenge the silence are often not listened to or believed anyway. Myth 7: Men who beat their wives are a danger to the community. Reality: Wife-beaters seldom attack outside their family. They know they would not likely get away with it. They reserve their rage for their wives, realizing that the consequences will be minor. Perhaps if these men were a greater danger to the community at large, major deterrents would already be in place. Myth 8: Assaulted women could leave their abusive partners if they wanted to. Reality: Women remain in abusive relationships for many reasons. Some are committed to their marriages and desperately want them to be successful. They hope he will change. For others, leaving is not an option because they have no place to go, nor money to live on. Poverty is a very real possibility for assaulted women, especially those with children. Fear of being further harmed keeps them imprisoned in violent relationships. Women often describe their husband’s threats to kill them if they leave. Myth 9: Pregnant women are pro-
tected from violent attacks. Reality: In fact, women who are pregnant are more vulnerable to violence. Many women describe the abuse starting when they were first pregnant, or the violence became more severe during a pregnancy. Pregnant women have even less access to resources and are thus more dependants on their partners than at non-pregnant times. Husbands take advantage of this dependant phase knowing that their wives will be less able to counter their attacks. It doesn’t matter what you do, nothing changes???!!!

Boitumelo Project
‘stitching our life’s together’ The Boitumelo Project explores serious social issues being faced by impoverished inhabitants of Johannesburg and key outlying communities of Gauteng in need. They directly tackle a number of social needs in terms of community development directly in Hillbrow, Johannesburg. The residents of Hillbrow deal with myriad problems including high incidence of HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, violence, refugee influx, the degradation of urban environments, and high levels of unemployment and poverty. The explorative and skill-building workshops which Boitumelo project runs address many of the abovementioned social issues through the conceptual lens of fairness, unfairness, and powerlessness which city residents faces. The project enables workshop participants to explore these social issues, engage with them on personal issues, and develop effective skills for dealing with them. Boitumelo Sewing Project has been operating in Hillbrow since November 2001. It is a safe space where about 60 students—mostly women—meet on a regular basis to
www.helloplett.co.za WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT - 12 MAY 2011
learn and share craft skills. The four facilitators have had a wide range of experiences, having been through the Boitumelo training themselves and are constantly upgrading their skills by attending workshops at other organizations. The project has participated in international collaborations concerning issues including environmental pollution, South Africa’s path to liberation and democracy, the harsh realities of suburban life, identity, xenophobia, roots, violence, and poverty. Boitumelo Project creates hope, finding inner healing and facilitating communication within communities in Hillbrow, Soweto and Diepsloot, where it operates. The project uses arts in a nurturing manner to develop self worth that could lead to products that will offer income to families in order to help them along the path to economic independence, combating poverty in an incremental way. In addition, Boitumelo has been training women in Jabavu, Soweto since 2008. There, approximately 25 women meet on a weekly basis for training in sewing, embroidery, colour exploration, and machine skills. Project participants also actively engaged in discussing and working through social issues, including family relations, group work, social awareness, and environmental pressures, creating a wide variety of products that are eventually sold as functional items and well-respected art. Boitumelo has also successfully participated in numerous arts competitions and exhibitions nationally and internationally. This includes the Brett Kebble Art Awards Competition 2003/2004,, exhibition ‘Ansisters’ at Constitution Hill, 2005, the Waste Art Exhibition 2006, an ‘Urban forest and the wolf’ exhibition at the University of Johannesburg and the Visual Learning International Conference in 2007. The Joburg Artbank commissioned an artwork on the city of Johannesburg and this was on exhibition at the Johannesburg Art Gallery, 2008. ‘Mama Jozi’ Artwork including a poem won third prize for Gauteng and is sold to Department Arts and Culture, 2009. ‘FairPlay’ exhibition including the white shirts ‘violence of language of violence’ was shown at Constitution Hill, 2010. We have joined the Site_Specific Land Art Event which is taking place in Plettenberbay end May 2011. We will be joining this fantastic art event and offer training to 8 different craft projects within the Bitou Municipality as well as creating and showing 'Veiled Hope' which won the first prize from Skaftein in February 2011. 'Veiled Hope' will be exhibited this week in Hillbrow

NOTICE: PLETTENBERG BAY DESALINATION PLANT UPDATE 10 May 2011 This notice serves to inform the public of the Bitou Municipality’s intention to refurbish the faulty pumps of the new desalination plant in the Piesang Estuary. For this purpose the Municipality has waited until the end of the recent holiday breaks to ensure that any works do not hinder public access to the estuary during the holiday period. Contractors will now remove three faulty pumps from the boreholes in the estuary adjacent to the Beacon Island Hotel. This work will begin with site establishment on 13 May 2011 and active civil works starting on 16 May 2011. Activities will include limited excavation and dredging around the three problematic pumps in order to open the boreholes and extract the pumps. Depending on the diagnosis, the pumps will either be immediately fixed and returned to their location, or sent away to the supplier should it not be possible to complete the repairs on site. During this refurbishment a brine recycling system will also be installed within the building of the desalination plant to enable the plant to run more efficiently. The length of time required to effect these repairs will be dependent on the availability of equipment, water levels in the estuary and the weather. The Municipality anticipates that the exercise should not take longer than two weeks, but is optimistic that it could be shorter. L.M.R. NGOQO MUNICIPAL MANAGER

Letter via the Editor I had a bathroom floor replaced by Nolans Flooring, last month. What a pleasure to deal with professionals. The floor was Screeded, Novilon laid, Edges sealed with silicon and Threshold professionally replaced with new threshold. This is now an example of efficiency and quality workmanship! I was very impressed and they are local! I had another bathroom floor replaced in 2007 by another business in town. However, they omitted all the items mentioned above, and were more expensive! Unfortunately, I was ignorant at the time and now regret that I did not go straight to Nolans flooring. So, if you require a new floor, you know where to go! Thumbs up for Nolans Flooring!!

The Tshisa Talent contest that was held in 2010 saw over 400 individual Bitou based performers compete for the coveted prize of Tshisa Talent artist of the year. Many of those who took part in the contest have been employed through Lunchbox Theatre to work their magic at a number of local events. The Bitou Tourism Street Festival at the end of last year saw 15 of these local artists on the Main Street stage entertaining 100s of locals and visitors. 2010 finalists Ammori Sass and the Unlimited Band (Donovan and Priscilla) have taken giant leaps with their talent. They were chosen to participate in the ABSA KKNK artist development program that saw 100s of national artists auditioning for a place to be part of the development program.

DRAFT BUDGET...was approved by Council in March 2011 and made public for the community to comment. Copies of the Draft budget were provided to all libraries and on the municipal website. Comments were received from the Provincial Treasury and from the Ratepayers Association. All information dealing with the above is still available at the libraries. The Operating budget for the financial year 2011/2012 is R349. 527.744-00. The Capital budget is projected at R 42.081.000-00 compared to R 136.669.792-00 last year. The decrease of 69% can be attributed to the municipality's decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the extensive expenditure in new infrastructure in the past five years by means of own funds as well as through borrowing. Tariff's are as follows..Property Rates 7.5% increase. Water 12%... Refuse Removal 23.5% ( a once off!) Sewerage 10%...Electricity an average of 21% and Sundry Fees 10%. Tariffs for the provision of prepaid electricity to all areas have been introduced. The cost to convert from a credit meter to a prepaid one will be for the account of the user. Greetings, Ald.

birdies, eagles and other birdlife they have played, nor do I know the names of all those clubs sticking out of his bag but he still rushes home and tells me all from beginning to end, using all those terms like ‘par’, and waits for my reaction. I always smile and say ‘fantastic’ or ‘that is bad luck’, depending on the lead he gives me by his facial expressions. At some stage some golfer will ring him about something completely different and then I hear those words I know so well and they are off. First Beloved tells him all about his last game, ball by ball, and then it is the caller’s turn. Hot on the heels of golf comes Polo – now that game I really cannot understand – but like women who love men in uniform, I have this passion for men sitting high and strong on those magnificent horses and all that grunting and snorting coming from (I hope) the horses. The men all look handsome, strong and sweaty but sexy sweaty. I can’t see very well (without my glasses, a frequent occurrence) but for the duration of the game I am awed at the magnificence of it all. A couple of years ago we were at the amazing Kurland International game; that was my first close up introduction to Polo and the Polo set.

GAMES I find that that all my fellowmen and women in Plett feel they must tell you every single part of their particular sport. The main sport that excites everyone is golf, which they play regardless of weather. My husband once played in the wind at St. Francis Bay where he had to be staked to the ground with a safety harness and still come home enthused about the next game there. “Lovely course you know”. At any gathering a player will tell you about their most recent game from beginning to end. I can see when a story is coming on because the ‘teller’ gets wet soggy eyes (which some people call bright and shiny eyes). Then everybody at the table leans forward with great anticipation and listens as if this were the first time they had ever heard of this particular action. Then the party takes on huge woomah as each player in turn recalls their last game and sometimes their best game ever, two years ago, and then one or two tales about Dad’s best game ever. While their eyes are all shiny and wet, my eyes have glassed over and got into a set position, which is supposed to indicate that I am listening and still alive. I have been married to my beloved for 23 years and he knows that I have no idea about all the

Nonetheless they was off to see all the right people and be seen by them (better still get a photograph taken – for front page). Everywhere you looked heads were turning in all directions except the polo field and only a quick glance if clapping was heard then back to the scene. There was also the after party which we could not make, mainly because I had had so much champagne that my legs wobbled. A lot of the people who stayed deserved medals for endurance. Some looked very tatty – drinkies all down their fronts, faces very red. The noise was deafening and some of the elegant folk from earlier on? Unrecognisable. Did not matter, the day had been a success, all the scandal had been told, the crits on all the clothes done and the party was on. Lots of love, Chatterbox PRINTS TO CANVAS Kodak 044-533 5510

The current difficult economic environment has placed increased strain upon homeowners, with many people now struggling to meet their bond repayments each month. Unless you maintain bond payments your home is at risk. If you find yourself in this position consider the following steps: Draw up an accurate monthly budget, this will help identify possible areas where savings can be made, it will also reveal exactly how much you can afford to pay toward your monthly accounts. Contact your credit provider, they will normally try to assist you by extending the period of your loan and reducing payments or by giving you an interest only year. Prioritise payments to credit providers, consider selling or surrendering luxury goods, try to release as much money as you can toward your bond payment. If it is clear that you cannot make the required payment each month, contact a Debt Counsellor, the National Credit Act makes provision for the restructuring of your debt including your bond, to an amount that you can afford, whilst under a Debt Review credit providers, including your bond holder cannot take further action against you, DEBT COUNSELLING MAY SAVE YOUR HOME. It is most important that you take action as soon as you receive a formal letter of Demand from your credit provider, if you do not act promptly you will lose you protection under the law.
