Die jaarlikse Burgemeesterstoe-kennings het net soos die Oscarsvir deftige modes, musiek, toe-kenningsentoesprakegesorgtoeerkenning gegee is aan uitne-mendheid, die wisseltrofee viromgewingsbewaring oorhandigis en die vrou van die jaar aange-kondig is.

Dié glansgeleentheid is Dinsdag-aand by die Burgersentrum aange-bied waar rolspelers in die Over-strand vereer is vir die positieweverskil wat hulle in die lewe van an-der asook die omgewing maak.

Bold, wat reeds vir die afgelope 14jaar by Fernkloof betrokke is, hetdié kwekery se inheemse plante uit-gebrei totwaardit vandag sowat 250verskillende spesies huisves.

“Ek leer mense elke dag en moe-dig hulle aan om Fynbos te waar-deer en om inheemse plante kom-mersieel beskikbaar te stel teen be-kostigbare pryse.”

Die toekenning vir Vrou van dieJaar het gegaan aan Ena Gelden-huys, ’nvrywilligeverpleegstervanGansbaai, vir die tyd wat sy afstaanom na pasiënte om te sien. Gelden-huys vervoer siek pasiënte op eiekoste na klinieke en hospitale, sorgdat hulle eet voor hulle medikasieneemenbesoekookkankerpasiënteoor naweke en na ure om hulle temonitor en aarvoeding te vervang.

Sy reël ook funksies om geld in tesamel vir minderbevoorregte kin-ders en bejaardes en maak so ’n ge-weldige verskil in die area waar sywerk.

In die tweede plek vir Vrou vandie Jaar was Stefné van Dyk en indie derde plek Dinah Johnson.

Sertifikate vir uitnemendheid isook toegeken aan Chris Adams, An-chelle Damon, Clayton Francis,Theo en Angie Krynauw, Lesley Ri-chardson, Jason Stonehewer, Tom-my Volkwyn en Frikkie Zeelie.

Tydens burgemeester NicoletteBotha-Guthrie se toespraak het sygesê dis wonderlik om te luister naal die positiewe stories van die ver-skille wat mense in die lewens vanander kan maak. “Elkeen doen daaiietsie ekstra wat hulle as alledaags

beskou, maar wat wel ’n groot im-pak maak op die natuur of in die ge-meenskap.”

Volgens Botha-Guthrie besef syweereens dat die bewaring van dieomgewing by almal berus. “Jy hetnie noodwendig ’n graad in omge-wingstudies nodig om ’n verskil temaak nie, jy hoef bloot net vir jouomgewing om te gee. So leer mensevan ’n jong ouderdom af om na hulomgewing om te sien.”

Botha-Guthrie het voorts gesêdaar is talle mense in die Over-strand wat werklik vir hul mede-mens omgee. “Ons hoor van sop-kombuise, versorging van siekes envoorsiening van klere. Opvoedingvan kinders is ook ’n gebied waarwonderlike werk gedoen word. Ek-stra klasse word aan leerders gegee,

vroeë kinderonderrig word metywer bevorder, en kerspartytjiesword vir minderbevoorregte kin-ders gereël.”

Botha-Guthrie het ook die belang-rikheid van musiekonderrig be-klemtoon. “Ek glo dat u my sal ver-skoon as ek die optredes deur diekinders hier vanaand as ’n spreken-de voorbeeld van ure se harde werken groot uitgawes gebruik. Dit wilgedoen wees,” voeg sy by.

Botha-Guthrie het afgesluit deuralmal wat toekennings ontvang het,geluk te wens. “Aan almal wat va-naand ’n sertifikaat ontvang het,baie dankie vir die voorbeeld watjulle aan ons almal stel. Kom onsraak almal op een of ander manierbetrokke. Dit kan ’n verskil maak.”

Raadvan inwonersgevraoorproblemerondomOnrus/Vermont seoorlaaistasieDie mini-oorlaaistasie by die On-rus Handelspos-winkelkom-pleks loop onder kritiek deurwant inwoners van Vermont enOnrus, wat hul vullissakke daarafgooi, sê dit is ’n bymekaarkom-plek vir vullis-krappers, en hullehet die Times laat weet hulle voelbedreig en onveilig en dat dierondhangers meestal besope is.

Herhaaldelike klagtes oor die af-gelope paar jaar oor ongure prakty-ke rondom die stasie is ook ontvangdeur die Wykskomitee.

Wyk 13 se raadslid, Elzette Nell,voer aan die stasie voldoen aan ’nbaie besliste behoefte vir die inwo-ners. “Maar ons is erg bekommerdoor die toekoms van die stasie. Dieitem het al telkemale op die agendavan die vergaderings van die Wyks-komitee gedien en etlike pogings isalaangewendomdiestasie teveran-der en te bestuur.”

Nellhoopdatdiewykskomiteeop-lossingsenhelderheid salkryasookom die proses van publieke deelna-me te bevorder.

“ ’nGedagte is geopperdatdieSta-sie tydelik gesluit word en dat alleopsies oorweeg word voordat voort-gegaan word met die bestuur vandie fasiliteit. Die implikasie is datsakke van besoekers op straat gaanlê en deur honde en menslike sak-krappers verskeur kan word.”

“Dit is ’n gedeelde gemeenskaps-probleem en almal moet deel weesvan moontlike oplossings.”

Volgens Nell is die stasie opgerigin 2006 sodat naweekbesoekers watop ’n Sondag vertrek, ’n stortingsfa-siliteit vir huisafval het. Dit wasvoordat die munisipale verwyde-ring van huisafval van ’n Donder-dag verskuif is na Maandag (Ver-mont) en Dinsdag (Onrusrivier).

“Die primêre doel was dus om tevoorkomdat swartsakkerondlêwatonnet lyk en deur rondloperhondeverskeur kan word.

“Nooit was die bedoeling dat per-manente inwonersdie stasiekonge-bruik vir tuinafval, stukkende plas-tiekstoele, bourommel, ens nie.”

Oor tyd het dit bykans ’n verlen-ging geword van die stortingster-rein langs Swartdamweg in die in-dustriële gebied. “Maar nou dra diehawelose gemeenskap by tot diechaotiese situasie.”

Etlike pogings is oor die afgelopetyd aangewend ten einde die pro-bleem te hanteer, sê Nell.

) Kennisgewings is aan die voor-kant en baie sigbaar aangebring omklem te lê op dit wat gestort magword.

) Die gangetjie agter die struk-tuur is toegemaak en opgevul.

) Doringagtige plante is aange-plant.

) Wetstoepassing is opgeskerp.) ’nAmptenaarwatbefondsword

staakwordasgevolgvangebrekaangeld deur die Nasionale Regering.

) Pogings is aangewend om diebestuur van die huurders van dieHandelspos meer betrokke te kry,met min resultate, omdat die fasili-teit op munisipale eiendom is en niehulle verantwoordelikheid is nie.

“Die onnetheid en die gepaard-gaande higiëniese risiko is onaan-vaarbaar.Wyk13 is trots daaropdatdienetheidvandieomgewing ’nhoëprofiel geniet.

“Gedurende die tyd wat die amp-tenaar daar was (van Maandag totVrydag) het daar ’n noemenswaar-dige positiewe verbetering plaasge-vind.

“Die aflaai van allerlei rommel

word nou deur die haweloses be-heer. Voertuie wat stilhou word ge-teiken onder die voorwendsel vanhulp terwyl die werklike motive-ring die van fooitjies is. Veral be-jaarde persone word geteiken enmoontlik geïntimideer.”

“Die voorkoms van haweloses is’n werklikheid wat almal se aandagverg.

“Die haweloses slaap (onwettig)in die bosse bokant die R43 en maakvuur en die risiko van ’n bergbrandis ’n realiteit. Die Wetstoepassershelp om hulle daar weg te kry maarbinne dae is hulle weer terug.

Moontlike opsies om die situa-sie te verlig

) Onder leiding van die NG Ge-

meente, Onrusrivier, word daartans ’n “Overstrand-Armoede-dink-skrum”-projek van stapel gestuurteneindeonderanderediehawelosepersone in ons gemeenskappe teversorg.

) Daar is etlike instansies watsaamwerk om ’n oplossing te vindvir hierdie sosio-ekonomiese pro-bleem. Die idee is om ’n sentralepunt in die middedorp te skep waarmense kan aansoek doen vir werk,waar beskikbare werk geadverteerkan word (of waar mense ’n tuin-werk of huiswerker vir die dag kankry). Kos sal ook aan die mense byhierdie sentrale punt verskaf word.

) Ten einde die benutting van diestasieweernasyoorspronklikedoelte stuur, word dit oorweeg om nuwekennisgewings met meer detail opal drie die mure aan te bring.

In addition, a fee will be charged for theissuing of certificates for flammable sub-stancesaswellasinspections(thirdandthere-after) conducted in terms of fire safety. Theincome will be used for fire services renderedto the community.

Coenie Groenewald, municipal manager ofthe Overstrand Municipality, answered a fewquestions.

Why the decision to charge for a servicewhich used to be free?

Due to constant development, new technol-ogy and legal responsibility the OverstrandMunicipality had to implement tariffs for theprovision of fire services.

After a safari in Botswana and a hiking holiday in the Fish River Canyon, Namibia, Mariclaire is now raring to go for the busy season ahead. Mariclaire opened the restaurant in 2006 after extensive experience working in restaurants as far afield as The Netherlands and the Caribbean. The Barefoot Cook quickly became a favourite with the local residents and visitors alike. The delightful courtyard setting and eclectic furnishings offers a haven of tranquility, whilst the food has garnered consistent praise from the loyal clientele. Such is the positive feedback, the restaurant has been placed in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide by Trip Advisor. The Bistro style menu is designed to provide delicious, freshly prepared and seasonally inspired food, with Mariclaires' passion for sauces being a highlight. Evening dining offers equally sumptuous dishes in a relaxed and inviting environment. Mariclaire will gladly organise private functions at the restaurant and design

The Barefoot Cookmenus in conjunction with the guest. Mariclaire and her dedicated team look forward to

TOP WINE: WildekransWine Estate in Bot River wasselected as one of the topten contenders for theirWildekrans Pinotage BarrelSelect Reserve 2012 at the2014 Absa Top 10 Competi­tion that was hosted atLandtscap in Stellenbosch re­cently. From left are: WilliamWilkinson (winemaker),Amanda Harlow (owner) andBraam Gericke (viticulturist).Wilkinson said this winewas hand harvested,destalked and cold soakedovernight. It was then agedin new French oak for 24months. It is a rich, complex though fresh, cool climate Pinotage with great structureand depth. Gericke said all the hard work is now paying dividends and it’s great to re­ceive such rewards after five years of continuous hard work.

RickandBraamtakeonAfricaon their bikesELBÉ VAN HEERDEN

Rick Oosthuyzen from Tapas and Braamvan der Walt from Hermanus Backpack-ersundertooktheiradventure,withhard-ly any planning, except that they wantedto bike all the way to Lake Malawi andback.

The two mounted their motorcycles, aBMW 1200 GS and Yamaha 1200 Tenere re-spectively and hit the road in July.

Their tripstartedinHermanus, fromwherethey made their way through Kimberley tothe Botswana border, travelling throughZambia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimba-bwe, before returning home.

“We had three weeks in which to completethe trip,” says Rick.

“We met so many interesting people alongthe way. There was this one South African,a guy Braam had met 20 years ago, who hademigrated to Malawi where he runs a lodge.He used to be a heroin addict and was takenin by a black couple. There he went cold tur-key while they nursed him back to health.”

According to Rick it was wonderful to expe-rience the differences between the countries.

“Botswana was incredibly efficient, friend-ly and the backpackers were clean and organ-ised. Zambia was much poorer and not aswesternised as the other countries we saw.”

Travelling with food as part of a motorbikejourney is rather difficult, so the duo tooktheir chances along the way.

“There are no Wimpys to be found, so wewould buy boiled eggs for breakfast fromstreet vendors. Another favourite was pota-toes or sweet potatoes fried in goat’s fat.”

The weather played along beautifully and

they managed to cover around 500 km per dayin temperatures which reached 26°C at times.In total they covered 8 300 km, and spent aweek on the shores of Lake Malawi.

“Coming back into South Africa, we hit ahuge cold front and stayed over in Burgers-dorpwhere itwassocold thewaterpipes frozesolid overnight. The cold weather was quitea shock to the system after the tropical weath-er we had experienced.”

Rick says the whole trip was very differentcompared to a similar trip he undertookthrough the United States last year. “Therewere motels and diners all along the way. Onthis trip it was much more difficult to finda place to stop, eat and stay.

“It was especially difficult to get petrol. Wewould stop in a village with half a tank andask whether we could get petrol in the nexttown,” says Braam.

“But then we’d arrive there, with hardlyany petrol left and realise that they are soldout.

Braam undertook a biking trip through Af-rica with some friends 20 years ago, and saysthis time round the trip was much easier“with more money in your pocket and ridinga more reliable motorcycle.”

Althoughitwaswonderful toretakethetripofhisyouth,Braam saysyoudon’treallyneedto cross the border to have an adventure.

“We travelled back through all the smallertowns, off the beaten track, around Lesothoto get back home.

“All in all, the adventure was amazing, butit is great tobeback inSouthAfrica.Thescen-ery is amazing, the roads are paved and thearea clean.

“And petrol is much cheaper. We had to payup to R24/l in Malawi,” Braam adds.

Braam van der Walt barters for breakfast, inthis case already boiled eggs, along theirtrip through Africa.

Rick and Braam enjoyed some interesting Af­rican cuisine on their tour. The delicacies fea­tured here are the innards of a goat.

Petrol was one of the major issues Rick Oost­huyzen and Braam van der Walt faced ontheir trip. Either very expensive, or not avail­able at all. Braam took this photo of Rick ata petrol station in a small town near Lusaka,Zambia.

Report highlightsburglariesanddrugabuseJANINE VAN DER RIET

According to the 2013/14 PNP (PolicingNeedsandPrioritiesprogramme)report re-leased, house burglaries top the list of re-ported crimes in six of the seven police sta-tions in the Hermanus Cluster (stretchingfrom Kleinmond to Gansbaai). And 80% ofcriminals convicted in the Overstrand areself proclaimed drug users.

This report was discussed at a meeting at-tended by all the chairpersons of Kleinmond,Hermanus, Stanford, Gansbaai, Napier,Bredasdorp and Struisbaai community policeforums, as well as police officials, OverstrandMunicipality ward councillors, ratepayers as-sociations and members of the public. It wasofficiated byDanPlato,minister of communitysafety in the Western Cape, at the Moffat Hallon Friday.According to Plato, what the department

hopes to achievewith the annualEPP (Expand-

ed Partnership Programme), isto determine safety needs andpriorities through broad consul-tation with affected communi-ties, establish systems and/orstrengthening existing struc-tures and partnerships such asCPFs andneighbourhoodwatch-es.Col Francois De Wet, Her-

manus acting station command-erandactingclustercommandervoicedhis concernsaboutwho isprotecting the protectors. He re-ferred to incidents that occurredin the Overstrand where policeofficials lives were endangeredand police vehicles and equip-ment damaged.He added that the Hermanus

cluster has an estimated 113 300residents, with only 338 opera-tional police members and 96support members.“The challenges we face are

firstly insufficient man power and the dis-tance between the police stations. Also per-petrators useminors/children or women tostand in the line of firewhen there are riots,which means that our police members can-not protect ourselves.We cannot fight back,and risk hurting innocent children.”Other problems contributing to crime in

the Overstrand area include poaching andgang activities, misuse of drugs, suspendedsentences forcriminals,nostreet lights, fyn-bos areas and overgrown cliff paths. DeWetsaid 80%of criminals convicted in theOver-strand are self proclaimed drug users.The top three crimes at the seven police

stations in the Hermanus cluster are:) Bredasdorp: Assault, substance abuse

and house burglary.) Gansbaai: House burglary, theft and do-

mestic violence.)Hermanus:Theft, house robberyandrob-

bery.) Kleinmond: House burglary, theft out of

motor vehicles, domestic violence.)Napier:Houseburglary, substanceabuse

and robbery.) Stanford: Theft of copper, common theft

and substance abuse.) Struisbaai: Assault, theft and house bur-

glary.

To assist with further identifying policingneeds and priorities, participants were askedfor input by way of answering a question-naire.Questions included service levels at po-lice stations, response time after a crime isreported,victimesupport, councellingservic-es, police resources in terms of vehicles andmanpower. Plato will use this information tohelp the formulation of policing priorities atprovincial and national level.

Hekke by Stanford­rivier opgerig om4 x 4’s uit te hou,water is nie besoedelJANINE VAN DER RIET

Menige inwoner van Stanfordwasbekommerdtoedaarnie-per-manente hekke by die sleephel-ling inKingstraat in Stanford op-gerig is.Langs die hek is ’n bord reeds

jare gelede opgerig wat waarsku

dat swemmers op eie risiko swemen dat die water dalk besoedelmag wees.Dadelik het van die inwoners

aangeneem die hekke is opgerigas gevolg van besoedeldewater indie rivier, maar by navraag aandie Overstrand-munisipaliteit, isdie verwarring opgeklaar.

FrancoisMyburgh, se-nior bestuurder: Gans-baai/Stanford Admini-strasie van die Over-strand-munisipaliteit,sê die hekke is reeds op16 Junie opgerig nadatdie riviermond oopge-breek het.“Die gedeelte was baie

nat na die water gesakhet. Die hekke is opgerigom te verhoed dat die ge-deelte as ’n 4x4 roete ge-bruik word. Die bordjieis al jare gelede daar opgesit om swemmers tewaarskudathulopeieri-siko swem en dat die wa-ter besoedel mag wees.”Die bordjies is net as

voorsorgmaatreël deurdie OM opgerig. KoekieSwart van die boot Afri-can Queen het by na-vraag bevestig dat diewater “swembaar” is.“Gewoonlik na die

mond oopbreek is daar ’nbietjiemodderigheidwatronddryf en met tyd, af-sak. Ons het laas Sondagop die boot gaan braai,swem en ski, en niemandhet siek geword nie.”

Dié bordjie is reeds jare te sien by diesleephelling in Kingstraat. Verskeie in­woners het egter gedink die water indie rivier is besoedel ná daar hekke (fo­to onder) opgerig is. Dit is egter opgerigom 4x4­entoesiaste van die modderpadweg te hou. FOTO’S: OLIVIA DICKSON

Een van die minder bekende‘sportaktiwiteite’ wat baie keermisgekyk word, is die spannetjievan sowat 25 seuns en dogterswat deel uitmaak van HoërskoolHermanus se noodhulpspan.Hulle het onlangs baie goed pres-teer tydens ’n SARU-inspeksiewat by skole gedoen word om huldoeltreffendheid met die hante-ring van sportbeserings vas testel.

BokSmart, ’n afdeling van SARU(Suid-Afrikaanse Rugby-Unie), wasbaiebeïndrukmetdieskoolsenood-hulpspan en het Hoërskool Herma-nus ingelig dat hulle tot dusver diehoogste punte in die Boland vir ’nBokSmart-inspeksie gekry het.Maritza du Plooy, ’n onderwyser,

bestuur die noodhulpspan al die af-gelope vier jaar.“Ons is regtig baie bevoorreg om

leerders in die skool te hêwie se ou-ers dokters of mediese beamptes is

en ’n passie vir die skool het. Ledevan die span kry opleiding. Daar isdrievlakkewaarinjy jouselfkanop-werk en die koste daarvan beloopongeveer R450 vir vlak een en tus-sen R900 en R1200 vir vlak twee endrie.”DrNicoAbel,GarryWhitson(me-

kinders en van hulle wil na skoolin ’nmediese rigting gaan studeer.”Die noodhulpspan van sowat 25

leerders bestaan hoofsaaklik uitmeisies ennet sowat vyf seuns. “Ditis seker maar omdat vrouens meerbesorg is,” voeg du Plooy by.EMR bied ook ’n gratis kursus

Kom maak ’n verskilOm meer te doen as wat van jou verwagword – dit is waaraan uitnemendheid ge­meet word. Dit gaan oor elkeen wat daar­die ietsie ekstra doen, wat dalk as alle­daags beskou word, wat wel ’n groot im­pak op die gemeenskap of omgewing kanhê.By die Burgemeesterstoekennings Dins­

dagaand is juis sulke mense vereer vir diepositiewe verskil wat hulle maak.Soos dr. Piet Croucamp tydens ’n toe­

spraak in Hermanus ook tereg gesê het:“Hou op kla en probeer eerder self ietsdoen. Mens kan nie verwag dat die rege­ring of plaaslike owerhede soos die muni­sipaliteit vir alles moet pa staan nie.”In plaas daarvan om te sit en wag dat

dinge verbeter, raak eerder betrokke enprobeer om self ’n verskil te maak – hoeklein ookal. Passie, liefde enomgee is eint­lik al wat dit kos. Of jy nou help by ’n sop­kombuis, help met onderrig, na pasiënteof oumense omsien of help om die omge­wing te bewaar, daar is orals altyd hulpnodig.Dus, kom skep saam ’n kultuur van pas­

sie, liefde en omgee en raak op een of an­der wyse betrokke om dieOverstrand (ónsgemeenskap en óns omgewing) ’n beterplek te maak. Ons kan!

Youths throwrocksoncoastal pathI am a permanent resident of Vermont.Last Saturday (23 August) at about 15:00, I

was taking a walk from Vermont to Onrusalong the coastal pathwhich runs outside theedge of the camping fence.I decided to sit for a while on the second

last bench and enjoy the view, when all of asuddenIheardaloudbang. ItwasalargepieceofrockthrownatthefencerightbehindwhereI was sitting.I stood up, startled, turned round and could

only see dense bush to the one side behindthe fence. Suddenly I heard loud laughter andthree young (about thirteen years old) boysran out, shrieking, and throwing pieces ofrock at the fence andmyself. Some even cameover the fence.With much laughter they then took off on

their bicycles into the camping terrain.I find it bad enough to be pelted and bom-

barded with rock pieces. As a senior (I am 81years old) I have to walk with a stick. I findthis kind of behaviour by young boys a signof contempt for an elderly person. (Theseyoungsters are known by the lady gate war-den and should be reprimanded.)

EDITORIAL COMMENT

DAAR IS ’N WIND WAT WAAI... “Ek weet wanneer die noordewind waai, dangaan lê my skape.” FOTO: IZAK KENNY, HERMANUS HEIGHTS

Who watches over the whale watchers?I followed the recent debate in the HermanusTimes regarding boat-based whale-watchingwith interest and in broad terms agree withthe opinion that, provided the proper regula-tions are observed, the whale-watching boatsshould not have any negative impact on thewhales, their behaviour or their numbers vis-iting Walker Bay each year.I have spent many years watching and ap-

proaching wild animals by vehicle – both asa safari guide and a frequent visitor to wildplaces – and my experience is that animalsvery quickly become habituated to the pres-ence of vehicles, provided the approach isdone slowly, the animals are always allowedto move away if they want to and are neverharassed or chased.Iamsure that thewhalewatchingoperators

inHermanus follow these logical,well-knownprocedures.My concern is that twice in the last few

weeks I have spoken to touristswho have hadbad experiences on a whale-watching boat.The first instance involved a family from

the Middle East. They were with two veryyoung children – perhaps four and six yearsold. (I wonder, is it appropriate for childrenof this age to be allowed on a whale-watchingboat under any circumstances?).The weather on the day in question was

poor; it was raining and it was windy.During the trip the sea became so rough the

passengers were all instructed to go into thecabin for their own safety. By now the chil-dren were feeling sick and terrified and theboat was rocking wildly.

Descending to the cabin down a slipperystaircase, the father very nearly lost his gripon his son. There were not enough seats inthe cabin for all the passengers, many ofwhom were sea-sick.To make matters worse there were no sea-

sick bags and the two children both endingup vomiting on themselves, their parents andthe floor of the cabin.At no stage did any member of the crew

come into the cabin to make sure the passen-gers were comfortable.Last week I spoke to a group of twelve Ital-

ians who had been out that morning on awhale-watching trip.Their English was not good so I did not get

all the details but they made it clear they hadalso had a bad experience. Again the weatherhad been wild, wet and windy.On the outward journey the waves were

huge and most of the passengers were fright-ened and sick. They were shown two whalesbut by that time they were all beyond caring.Moby Dick could have been doing cartwheelsacross the ocean, no-one would have been inthe least interested.OnThursday lastweek one of the operators

cancelled their nine o’clock departure be-cause they felt sea conditions were not good.At precisely the same time, another operatorwent out with a fully-laden boat.I understand completely the financial pres-

sure on the boat operators; they need to max-imise their revenues during the relativelyshortwhaleseasonbut this financialpressureshould never override the safety and well-be-

ing of their passengers.Surely there needs to be an independent au-

thority (perhaps the Harbour Master?) whomakes the decision each day about whetherseaconditionsareappropriateandsafe for theboats togoout.Andbeyond the issueof safety,the boat operators have a responsibility totheir passengers.I also hope that someone in authority is

checking that the boats are not going outwithmore than the stipulated number of passen-gers. I hasten to add that the vast majorityof tourists I speak towho have been onwhale-watchingtripshavehadwonderfulexperienc-es – even with the operator in question. (Infactmost tourists can’t really recallwhich op-erator theyhavebeenwith, unless, as in thesetwo cases, it has been memorable for all thewrong reasons.)Given that Hermanus relies so heavily on

its good reputationas awhale-watchingdesti-nation, it is vitally important that the highestpossible standards are maintained.When the whale-watching boat operators

accept payment from their passengers, thisshouldbeaguarantee of safety andwell-beingaswellasanacknowledgement that theopera-tor intends meeting the passenger’s expecta-tions for an enjoyable experience.I recognise that any genuine wildlife en-

counter is, by its very nature, unpredictableand that taking people out to sea in a boat al-ways carries some risk and that sea condi-tions are notoriously changeable, but thesefactors cannot be used to disguise or excusedoubtful practices.Iwouldurgeall thewhale-watchingboatop-

erators to act in a responsible manner at alltimes, irrespective of any financial consider-ations.At the same time, I would ask those with

the necessary authority to make sure thatsafety regulations are always observed andthat passengers’ well-being is paramount. Idread the day when the news hits town that,awhale-watchingboathas,asaresultofa fool-hardy decision, met with misfortune.

It is a disgrace that the Munici-pality is extorting exorbitantfees from ratepayers for septictank removal facilities whenthese residents already pay thesame rates and taxes and sewer-age flat rate fees as main-linesewerage users.

Now we have to pay extra foremptying these tanks and thendo not even have the optionwhether they want to make useof this facility.

It is futher the resident’s re-sponsibility to maintain thetank at their own cost to ensureno underwater ciphering orleakage takes place.

But the reason septic tankscollect more water than the con-sumption, and need to be emp-tied and pumped more often isthat Westcliff (for one), all alongChurch Street, is prone to flashfloods.

The residents have sufferedenormous damage and lossesover the past months due to baddrainageandincorrect floodwa-ter channelling.

Residents across the roadfrom the Mediclinic, PathologyCentre behind the ProvincialHospital and across from Fyn-bosPark specifically are knee-deep in water in their gardens

and in their homes with everyheavy downpour.

Septic drains fill through thetop lid as there is nowhere elsefor the water to go but in theempty tanks.

After each flood the Munici-pality’s corrective action is topile soil in heaps on either sideof driveways to absorb the wa-ter and create a muddy disasteralong the sidewalks of ChurchStreet until the next flash floodand residents must pay to havethe water drained.

Westcliff residents should de-mand to know what the WardCouncillor, Town Planner and

Infrastructure Committee planto do about this archaic and ri-diculously costly municipalservice called the Septic Tank.

WESTCLIFF SEPTICTANKER

In the mayoral committeemeetingheldon21August, itwasrecommended to council that tar-iff SE7A1 and tariff SE7A5 beamended with effect from 1 July2014 by revoking the restrictivecondition of a maximum of twovacuum tanker services duringoffice hours per month.By the time of going to print,

the decision takenby councilwasnot yet made public.

Hou die geute skoonOmstreeks November verlede jaar het ons gewaar-sku die Kaap sal vanjaar “wegspoel” en dadelik beloom Langfaan om te sê ja, maar die Kaap is nie dieOverstrand nie. “En vat nou maar die jaarliksebrandgevaar-toestande in die Oos-Kaap. Alles is al-tyd erger weerskante van die Overberg.”

Verlede week het Weerhaan ook met ’n halwehart voorspel ons kry die komende naweek mooi-weer. Met die een oog op die donker massa wat inAntarktika kort-kort op reënstorms uitloop en dieander op die Atlantiese hoogdruk wat soos ’n aas-voël wag om oorblyfsels van vogtige lug te versa-mel, was daar ook die angs dat die vog wat so diepsuid gehaal word, dieper noord gevoer kan worden die hele weskus onder stormreëns kan deurloop.

Ons besonderse ligging “tussen oos- en weskli-maat” haal weer ’n hasie uit die hoed. Benewensdie sowat 28 mm wat vanoggend tot elfuur val (enmôre Vrydag nog so 2,5 mm se emmertjie “badwa-ter”virdievoëls),komdiesonnetnádiemiddaguuruitenbly totMaandagbyonswanneerdie leëAtlan-tiese hoogdruk ’n bietjie vog by Gough gaan skep.

Dieekstravogis teminomhardeneerslaeteworden die noordwes nie sterk genoeg om dit heelpadvia Worcester in die rigting van die Overstrand tehou nie. Dan volg nie heeltemal ’n ongewone reak-

sie nie. Baie lug word ingesuig en windrigtings ver-ander gedurig. Die see bly omgekrap met geweldighoë deinings en dreigende wolke word opgebreek.

Die noordwes gooi aanstaande Woensdag finaaldie handdoek in teen die westewind wat later selfssuidwes draai. Die vallende water hou die tempera-ture uiteraard weg van vriespunt af, maar hoog boons koppe kan die vog nie hoër nie en val terug aar-de toe in die vorm van sneeu. Oor die Overstrandsmelt dit voor dit grasperke haal.

In die sonskyndae, môre en Sondag, bly dit rond-om 10 °C, maar in die sonskyndae aanstaande weekkan ons tot 22 °C verwag. Ons koue ure is vandag(Donderdag) rondom 11 vm. en Saterdag ná sonsak,sowat 10 °C.

Weerhaan glo klimaatsverandering skep weers-toestande wat vreemd lyk omdat dit lanklaas gesienis. By baie is daar selfs kommer dat die SuidelikeHalfrond dieselfde paadjie gaan loop as die Noorde-like Halfrond die afgelope somerseisoen. Hou maardie geute en afleivore skoon.

Sunny, but cold weather is expected over the next few days,with temperatures as low as 10°C on Saturday, rising againon Sunday. Monday will be clear and warm with a maximumof 25°C expected.

Toast toanddon’t roast TimNoakes

Why the current heat and conflictaround what Prof Tim Noakes is sayingabout some modern diets and moderndiseases?

Here’s my idea on this pressure-cook-er subject: “It could only happen in mod-ern times”. It couldn’t have happenedbefore about 1880, and quite probablynot before 1977.

Simply put, we had not yet inventedor developed the industrial refiningequipment for mass production of stor-age-stable refined grain and sugars.

The relatively modern epidemic ofmetabolic diseases, including Type 2 di-abetes and associated cardiac diseaseshad not yet made an impact on our socie-ties.

Essentially, since the AgriculturalRevolution about 12 000 years ago, weate a modified ancestral diet, self modi-fied forms of hunter-gatherer, coastalforager diets going back further byabout 200 000 years to the days of the An-atomically Modern Man here at the bot-tom of Southern Africa.

Major modern social change, includ-ing mass urbanisation, people abandon-ing farm life, migration from Europe toUS cities still had to happen.

Increasing production and consump-tion of refined carbohydrate, thesmokes-and-drinks aftermath of the’14-’18 war, still had to occur, before thediabetes and heart attack epidemiccould provoke worldwide concern.

In this data, you can see what still hadto happen: By 1929 “heart attack” deathswould rise to 25,7 per 100 000 population,52,2 deaths by 1938, 95,8 by 1945 and 307by 1963. (International List of Causes ofDeaths. prof. Louis S. de Villiers).

By the end of WW2, medical sciencecould cure the old infectious diseasesthat had plagued Man for hundreds ofyears.

Life expectancy was rising, but newkillers, cardiac deaths and diabetes,were making people very nervous. Thedesperate seeking of answers, throughthe 1950s and ’60s, by Ancel Keys andothers, had still to happen.

The really big 1977 switch away fromanimal protein and fats, away from eggsand butter, towards a “macaroni-and-margarine” high carbohydrate diet stillhad to occur.

Ancel Keys’ findings, including theideathatanimal fatscausedhighcholes-terol and heart attacks, were followedand promoted by the McGovern com-mittee on health and nutrition, resultedin the 1977 nutritional guidelines.

This official governmental interven-

tion, not quite forty years ago, sanc-tionedthechangestoourwesterneatinghabits, so radically, so completely anddangerously.

From those conditions arise the mod-ern epidemic of diseases that botherTim. This was the real official abandon-ment of a real original healthy balanceddiet for humans. The use of the word“balanced” to describe diets that flowfrom the “guidelines” is quite wrong.

The number of people diagnosed withdiabetes in the US rose from about 1,2million in 1950, through 5,8 million in1980 to 6,8 million by 1987.

From1994therateincreasesevenfast-er. Curiously, 1994-5 marks the begin-ning of what I call the “Statin era”, thebeginning of giving statin drugs to stopthe body producing its own cholesterol.

The value of cholesterol to our cellstructures, to our hormones, to our ba-sic well-being is seriously distorted ineveryday medicine.

The drive by the pharmaceutical in-dustry, promoting statins to block ourbody’s cholesterol production, suppos-edly to prevent heart attack deaths, hasfurther complicated the modern devel-opment of diabetes.

The message Tim Noakes offers aboutcholesterol management and diets chal-lenges the pharmaceutical industriesinvestment in the marketing of statins.Is this another reason to roast Tim?

The US government’s 1977 nutritionalguidelines jammed open the door fornon-animal fats, in favour of chemicallymodified seed oils, for cereal-and-sugarloaded industrial foods and drinks, likenever before.

The money involved in this businessis almost beyond comprehension.

A walk through a modern supermar-ket reveals that maybe 20% of the spaceis devoted to natural food (fresh pro-duce, meat, eggs and dairy).

Most of the space is devoted to man-made food substitutes, full of chemicalsto preserve, to thicken, to enhance fla-vour or colour.

Thesearenot foods,butverylucrativecommodities.

Marketers and manufacturers go toendless lengths to maintain sales, andthey don’t appreciate the questions thatTim Noakes invites us to ask.

Let us thank Tim, not roast him. Heasks us to think.

Illegal loose­runningdogsareamenace toall

I have been a law abiding res-ident of Hermanus for the past24 years and our home has al-ways had several dogs that welove as our pets.

My wife closely followsHAWS on Facebook and active-ly helps to re-home strays.

We also regularly make do-nations to HAWS. But the timeis fast approaching where I willbe forced to defend myself, mywife and our dogs against unru-ly dogs on the loose, whoseowners refuse to comply withthe Overstrand leash-laws.

Any transgression can costthem a fine of R500 for a firstoffence. I daily take my twosmaller dogs for a short walkaround the block.

My wife also takes our biggerdog for a long walk of up to fourkilometres daily, weather per-

mitting.All three our dogs are elder-

ly, over twelve years old.We are both fit and active but

over sixty and still working,which is why our walks withthe dogs are so important to us.

Unfortunately those walksare no longer a pleasure, be-cause we are forced to arm our-selves with whips, tazers andpepper spray to protect our-selves and our dogs against oth-er dogs.

I cannot blame the loose-run-ning dogs, with or withoutowners present, but I do put thefull blame on the owners.

I also want to request the ma-jority of decent, law-abidingcitizens who obey the leashlaws to make their voicesheard.

That is the only way to take

back our streets so that we canall enjoy our walks with ourbest friends again.

My wife has already comeback from a walk covered inblood from dog bites, after dogson the loose attacked myleashed dog while their ownersdid nothing.

Remember lady your poodle/small friendly doggie maycome to harm if it attacks mydog and the blame will be yoursnot mine.

With reference to the SMSs(HT 31/07/2014) and (HT07/08/2014):

Jean, I totally agree, taze theowner, not the dog.

I will say to Angels P and M:Please do not hide behind reli-gion and get the proper storybefore you criticise others.

LEON

You’re probably thinking: “Ar-ghh!Notanotherdogpoohletter!”and I don’t blame you.

I believe, however, that this in-cident was quite serious and thatit’s in the public interest to be in-formed of it. To the rude womanImetontheVOScoastalpathnearJan Rabie’s pool at about 17:30 onFriday 15 August:

I am a 65-year-old, semi-retiredprofessional man living in Ver-mont. I walk along the coastalpath at least three or four timesa week. Like many other people,I carry a walking stick.

I have come across you, in thesame area, twice over the past sixweeks or so. On both occasions Ihave been subjected to unpro-voked aggression from your verylarge, black and white, unleashedGreat Dane. He growled, baredhis teeth and on one occasioncame up behind me and bit thefabricofmyjacketabovemyrightelbow, his teeth just grazing myskin. Your response on both occa-sions was: “Sorry, it’s your stick.He doesn’t like sticks.” Althoughthese incidents irked me a little,I avoided confrontation and didnot take the matter further. Verypoor judgement, as it turned out.

I love dogs. I have a liberal ap-proach to dogs on paths and on

beaches; I believe they should beallowedtorunfree,providedtheyare well-socialised and properlytrained. Your dog is neither. Howmany other stick-carrying walk-ers has he threatened, upset andpossibly frightened? Clearly,madam, your dog should havebeen on a leash.

Now, on to Friday afternoon.Once again your unleashed dogcame at me aggressively. I turnedon him with uplifted finger andsaid, “Don’t you dare!” He backedoff. Once again, your responsewas: “Sorry, he doesn’t likesticks.” I turned and walked on.

Thedogcameatmeagain,moreaggressively, twice, from behind.I was obliged to turn and raise mystick defensively. The third timeI walked away he came at meagain, even more aggressively. Ihave no doubt that he would haveattempted to bite me. That iswhen I turned and whacked him:once, fairly hard, with my light-weight, rubber-tipped, cane hik-ing stick.

Of course people get highlyemotional when their pets are in-volved, but the torrent of vile in-vective that spewed from yourmouth was uncalled for and trulydisgusting. I foundyour languageextremely offensive and insult-

ing. What a pity that your youngdaughter had to witness your ap-palling behaviour.

The incident was very distaste-ful indeed. I walk for exercise andthe peace it brings me. No-oneshould ever be subjected to anysort of aggression from a poorlysocialised, uncontrolled dog, cer-tainly not on a public walkway.Your dog should be on a leash, atalltimes.Iregrethavingtowhackyour dog. More than that, I resentit – it should not have been neces-sary.Youhaveshownatrulystag-geringlackofconsideration,com-mon sense and decency.

Iwillcontinuetowalkalongthepath, with my walking stick. Ifthis sort of thing happens again– and I certainly hope it will not– I will have no alternative but tolodge a formal complaint. And ifyou ever subject me to any moreof your filthy verbal abuse I willmost certainly lay a charge of cri-men injuria against you.

I urge walkers not to make thesamemistakeIdid.Unpleasantasit might be… immediately con-front – and if necessary report –inconsiderate, irresponsible peo-ple who violate your rights inpublic places.

Stripes theeco­cat findsavoiceELBÉ VAN HEERDEN

There are many cats in the Over-strand and there are many catson the internet, but there is onlyone Overstrand cat makingwaves on the internet and that isStripes.

Stripes is an eco-cat and has hisown blog and Facebook page withthe purpose of helping Whale CoastConservation tomake everyone, es-pecially children,moreeco-friendlyby teaching them about conserva-tion and going green.Stripes moved into the Green

House, Whale Coast Conservation'shead office, about a month ago.

At first the team had no ideawherehecamefrom,butsoonlearntthat he belongs to the caretakerswho live on the property.“The first thing he learnt about

the Green House, was where thekitchen was,” says Anina Lee,Whale Coast Conservation’s com-munications manager, who givesStripes his human voice. “Soon hewas just as at home as the rest of thegang.”Dante Campbell, the IT techni-

cian helped to set up a Facebookpage for Stripes and he is quicklymaking a name for himself online.

Healsohasablogwherehesharesstoriesabout theeco-friendly thingshe is learning. (It is dictated byAni-na as he still struggles to type withhis paws!)"Our biggest struggle at the mo-

ment is to reach those childrenwhodo not have access to the internet.His stories are for anyone who en-joys conservation,” said Anina.Stripes is quite content with his

life at the Green House, spending

time in the bee garden, lounging inthe sun, disrupting meetings andlearning more about the environ-ment and then teaching others.

To followStripes’ eco adventures,follow him on Facebook, where hisblogs are also posted.

You can also send Stripes an e-mail at stripes@ocf.org.za, especial-ly ifhecanhelpyourschoolorgroupwith conservation.

) Stripes shared some of his fa-vourites with the Hermanus Times.

Favourite place to sleep: Any softplace in the sun.

Food: I will eat pretty much any-thing.

Colour: Green, all the way!Activity: I am quite dedicated to

conservation, but I amstill learningabout all the things that happenshere at the Green House. Like, I re-cently learnt that catching birds isnot a good idea, because taking ani-malsoutofnaturethrowsoff thenat-ural balance of things.Plant: I amnotvery fondof catnip,

but I really like the blushing bridesin my bee garden. I sit there oftento watch the busy bees buzzing. Ihave also learnt that you can't playwith bees. They don't play nice!Animal: Definitely my humans! I

don’t like dogs very much...Your biggest dream in life: I am

hoping to one day be internet fa-mous, like that grumpy one and thesilly one that climbs into boxes.

Before you adoptWhile owning a pet can be extremely re-

warding, it is important to remember thatpet ownership is also a huge responsibili-ty. As a pet owner you will be committedto providing for all the requirements ofyour pet: food, exercise, housing, groom-ing and veterinary care.

We recommend that you take the time toresearchthespeciesorbreed/crossbreedyouare adopting well before bringing it home, sothat you are positive your choice of pet willbe appropriate for your lifestyle and you arewell prepared for its arrival.

Adopting a pet should never be an impul-sive decision. Animal shelters receive thou-sands of unwanted and abandoned animalseach year, often the result of an ill-considereddecision.

Before you make the decision to become apet owner ask yourself the following ques-tions:Am I prepared to care for a pet for its

whole life?The average lifespan of a dog or cat is about

12 years, with some dogs and cats living until15 or even 20 years of age.

While puppies and kittens are irresistiblyadorable, you will need to be prepared to pro-vide for an adult animal too and, in the caseof some dogs, a much larger animal with con-siderable exercise requirements and a sizea-ble appetite.Can I afford a pet?There are many costs involved with pet

ownership. Upfront costs can include vacci-nation, micro-chipping and sterilisation.However, you will need to be prepared to payfor food, deworming, annual health checks,vet bills, training, boarding, toys and beddingfor the animal.

If an emergency or accident occurs, you willalso need to ensure you will be able to payfor any veterinary treatment required.

Thecostsofpetownershipwillvarydepend-ing on the type of animal you choose. Remem-ber that pets are an expensive addition to thefamily.

Do I have time to care for a pet?Exercise, socialisation, grooming, training

and play are important aspects of pet owner-ship. Some pets will require more of your timethan others. Puppies and kittens require alarge time investment.

You will need to ensure that they settle intoyourhousecomfortably,are toilet-trained, so-cialised and that they are fed, exercised andtaken to the vet when necessary. Adult ani-mals also require a lot of time and care.

Do I live in suitable accommodationwith adequate space for a pet?

Carefully consider the kind of accommoda-tion you will be able to provide to your petnow and into the future before choosing one.Your home size and/or garden size are factorsin determining your suitability as a pet ownerfor certain types of animals.

If you live in a rented property think care-fully before committing yourself to a pet.While some landlords allow pets, many do notand pet ownership may cause difficultiesshould you need to change accommodation.Checkifanimalsarepermittedatyouraccom-modation.

Will apet fit intomy lifestyle andpriori-ties?

Working hours, a busy social life and takingregular trips away are all factors that needto be considered before adopting a pet.

Companion animals thrive on human com-panyandwillalwaysdependonyou.Youmustbe sure that your lifestyle will accommodatethem.

Beforeyouadopt, consider theirspecificrequirement:

Are you prepared to walk your dog every

day? Are you home often enough to keep yourcat or dog company?

Do you have time to give your puppy or kit-ten the basic reward-based training it needs?

Who will care for your pet when you areaway from home?

Boskloof­boerwoekermetbye, veldblommeenwoordeThys de Villiers is die derde DeVilliers-geslag wat op Boskloofboer – een van die oudste plase indie Overberg tussen Stanford enNapier.

Met sy kamtig-amptelike aftredein 2002 het hy sy saai- en skaapboer-dery en melkery laat vaar en homtoegespits op veldblomme en bye-boerdery. En ook tyd gemaak vir ’nander lewenstaak - om Boskloof sefamiliegeskiedenis deur al die moe-derlyne tot byvolksplanting/binne-koms in Afrika neer te pen.Die verskyning van sy boek Bos-

kloof - ’n Overbergplaas, is Saterdagsaammetalwat ’nboer is indiekon-trei en familiegevierbydiebekendeplaaswinkel, Van Brakelstoor.Die navorsing en skryf (tik-tik

met twee vingers) was ’n taak vanvasbyt. “Boskloof is nou nie in ge-meenskapsbesitofbesonderbekendsoos ’nGrootConstantiaof ’nVerge-legen nie. Gevolglik moet die manwatonderneemomdieherkomsvan’n enkele plaas (en nie eens onderdie vernaamste in die streek nie) opte teken, seker sy kop laat lees? Ofhoe?” sê Thys in die inleiding.Thys se navorsing is mindbog-

gling en ’n bewys van deursettings-vermoë soos dié van die voorgeslag-te wat in die kontrei komvestig het.Veertig tot 60 besoeke aan die Ar-gief. Tien besoeke aan Akteskan-toor, S.A. Bib en Kartografie. TienbesoekeaanCaledon-museum.Tien

besoeke aan verskillende bibliote-ke. 100de ure se opleeswerk.“Maar daar is soveel mooi stories

in ons buurt. Meeste is nie opge-skryf nie, dit is oorvertellinge watbehouemoet bly,” verduidelikThyssy volgehoue passie.Die boek handel oor die vroeë fa-

milies van die area, oorKarnmelks-rivier, Boschvallei, Berggrond, dieversnippering (Overbergse lenings-plase wat onderverdeel is) en na-tuurlik Boskloof en sy mense.Wat dié boek so lekker leesbaar

maak,al ismensonvertroudmetdie

area, is hoe dit geskryf is. Thys ver-tel ’n storie op ’n manier wat sy fynhumorsin uitlig en hy kan ’n dingmooi raaksien en raaksê.Die boek is vol weggesteekte von-

kel-vertellings. Een so ’n vertelling(opbl79) isoorhoehysyvrou,Chris-ta Müller, ontmoet het toe hy des-tydsbydieKWVindiePaarlgewerkhet engehoorhetHoërskoolGimna-sium se Xhosa-juffrou bied aand-klasse aan.Thys se kennis oor die kontrei se

geskiedenis is bo alle twyfel. Sy lief-de vir die streek, en vir Boskloof, isduidelik.Die feit dat omtrent die hele kon-

trei se boere opgedaag het, en sybuurman van Appelsdrift spesiaalsykuierinNewYorkkortgekniphetom die geleentheid by te woon,spreek boekdele.Met die boek sê Thys is sy storie

nou voltooi. “Selfs al was Boskloofnie die oudste plaas nie, selfs al konhy nie op die eerste binnenshuiseswembad aan die Kaap of die besteboer in Suid-Afrika aanspraakmaak nie; en selfs al het hy nie dieoudste meulrat of die hoogste kon-sentrasie Ericas nie, sou ek steedsnie hierdie stukkie aarde vir enigeander wou verruil nie.”Die boek gee mens opnuut waar-

Amother dealingwith the ultimate loss of a childCILENE BEKKER

Although it is by nature a very sadstory, the book is not a depressingread.PeterandJamiYeast-Kastner lost

their youngest son, 18-month-oldSam, in a tragic drowning accidentat theirStanfordHills farmon8Feb-ruary 2013.ThebookSamandMe&TheHard

Pear Tree, written in diary format,covers the first year sinceThe.Day.It.Happened (as Jami re-fers to it).In total soul-bearing honesty and

a wry sense of humour Jami writesabout coping with her loss whiledealing with her everyday life aswife, co-runner of the estate andmom of Sam’s two brothers - Alex(now 5) and special-needs brother

Jack (now 7).Sheshares this journeyinsuchan

openmanner, that it makes for cap-tivating reading, and yes, at times,heart-wrenching. Ultimately thebook becomes less about grief andmore about finding a sense of self-fulfilment and drawing on inspira-tional insights to continue dealingwith the cards life dealt her.“What happenedmademe realise

howprecious life is. How importantit is to live in the now!,” says Jami.“The book contains a lot of sharing,and quite a bit of swearing, but I’velearnt to stop trying to please every-one.Now it’s all about family time.”As Jami notes in her foreword: In

this last year I have found faith:faith that Sam is still with us; faithin the kindness of strangers; andfaith in myself and the strength of

our family. I havelearnt that love tru-ly can survive theseparation betweenthis world and thenext.”

Arrivingat the Bhuki Café,the first thing Jami noticed was thespine of a bookPennington’s Butter-flies, in the shelf right across fromwhere she was sitting.

Elmara shares herwalk in‘the field of stars’CILENE BEKKER

“Buy shoes two sizes bigger. Buyearbuds to block out all the snor-ing.Usewalkingsticksasit takes34% stress off your knees.”These are some of the tips that

ElmaraWillis shared during hertalk at a U3A meeting at the mu-nicipal auditorium on 14 Augustabout tackling the Camino deSantiagoCompostelapilgrimagewalk.Literally translated this

means Path to (Camino de) StJames (Santiago) in the field ofstars (Compostela).Should you decide to walk the

walk you will be among 280 000others who do it every year.According to the caminoad-

ventures.com website there arefive main Camino de Santiagopilgrimage routes in Spain: theCamino Frances, the Via de laPlata, the Northern Routes, theEnglish Road, and the Portu-guese Road (starts in Portugal).Elmara has walked the long

road, theCaminoFrances,whichstarts in St Jean Pied de Port,France and finishes 780 km laterin Santiago. It took her 34 daysto complete.Now, in October, she is em-

barking on her fourth Camino,this time taking the Portuguese

Road (230 km).Elmara refers to the walk as a

journey of self discovery. “Thecorrect way of doing the Caminois to walk it alone. The first fewdays your head is full of conver-sations and your mind starts go-ing into past worries and sins. Ittakes about 7 days for your headto clear. Then comes the pointwhere you realise you aren’tthinkingaboutanythingandyoustart noticing nature, enjoyingevery moment of where you are.The chattering in your headstops. That’s the magic of theCamino!”“That’s why people keep going

back. It’s verydifficult to explainbut it canbe a life changing expe-rience.”Getting back to basics, Elmara

explained that to walk it, yourbody must be used to regularwalking, at leastanhourperday.During the route you coveraround 25 km per day.She recommends reading eve-

rything you can on the internetabout the various routes, but ifyou want to hearmore hints andtips from Elmara, and how topack a backpack weighing only7 kg, she is hosting a workshopon the first Saturday in March2015. For more informationemail elmara@telkomsa.net.

The Camino Frances isregarded as the mostpopular of all the Caminoroutes. It starts in St JeanPied de Port on theFrench side of the Pyr­enees and finishes790 km later in Santiago.

JUSTICE DENIED by Dr David Klatzow. If you areaccused of a crime you did not commit, do you be­lieve that justice will prevail in a court of law? Per­haps you should think again. Contrary to what tele­vision series like CSI and NCIS would have one be­lieve, forensic science does not provide instantanswers to impenetrable crimes; in reality, forensicscience is neither clear­cut nor easy to interpret, andpractitioners are not all competent – as renownedforensic scientist Dr David Klatzow proves in thisbook. In Justice Denied, he exposes the miscarriagesof justice resulting from the faulty courtroom testimo­ny of corrupt or incompetent forensic pathologistsand unscrupulous public prosecutors who seek con­victions at all costs. ) Join Dr Klatzow for the booklaunch on Sunday 31 August at the Stanford Hotelat 10:00.

FordRangerderivative tougher thaneverFord Motor Company of Southern Africa(FMCSA) recently introduced a mine-hard-ened version of its popularRanger to the localmarket.Thenewvariant– theRangerXL-Plus– isanewentry-levelproposition into the line-up while offering a new dimension of tough-ness to the range.It is of particular interest to mining compa-nies, farmers and other business ownerswithvery specific requirements.“TheRangerXL-Pluswasbornoutofparticu-

lar requirements from the mining industry,as well as other business owners whosemainconcerns were rugged capability and impec-cable safety standards,” saysMarkKaufman,vice president ofmarketing, sales and serviceat FMCSA.“The vehicle is already extremely capable,

and bigmining companies have committed tousing only vehicles that have five-star EN-CAP and ANCAP ratings, which Ranger XLTand Wildtrak derivatives boast.”Built at the SilvertonAssemblyPlant in Pre-toria, following a $1,8 million investment,Ranger XL-Plus is now also exported to othermarketswithminingoperations, suchasAus-tralia and New Zealand .With airbags for both the driver and passen-ger, aswell as side impact, curtain, andadriv-er-side knee airbag, Ranger XL-Plus complieswith the safety requirements determined byinternational mine operators.In addition, it has an optional bullbar de-

signed to work in conjunction with the car’sexisting safety systems, thus not compromis-ing airbag deployment.

An extensive list of modifications has alsobeen tested to ensure the Ranger XL-Plus willstand up to the harsh environments seen inmining operations and various other heavyduty applications.External modifications and enhancements

includea frametested foran increased towingload of 3 500 kg, an optional heavy duty frontbumper, extruded aluminium side steps,front mud flaps, and a lockable fuel filler cap.Insideandunder theskin, theRangerXL-Plusgains a Crew Chief mounting bracket pairedto an expanded wiring harness for accommo-datingmoreswitchesandcircuits,aheavydu-ty second battery, vinyl floor covering, andheavy duty seat covers.“Modificationsdeveloped for theRangerXL-Plus came from extensive testing in real-world scenarios,” says Kaufman.“We took feedback from our clients on whatmore they need from the Ranger in applica-tions such as mining, and built a version ofRanger that will take a lot more punishment,as well as offer integration with technicalequipment used on sites.”

Ranger XL-Plus is available in three bodystyles with two chassis cab models in singleand double cab variations, and a double cabmodel with a load box.Drive comes from the Duratorq 2,2 F TDCi

engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.All models have four-wheel drive and are fit-tedwith anElectronic LockingRearDifferen-tial.“We’re building the Ranger XL-Plus locally,meaningwe cangive our customers a factory-ready version of a vehicle thatmeets their de-mands.Modifications for this version of the Rangercan be rolled out during production, so cus-tomers don’t have towait for aftermarket cus-tomisations,” ends Kaufman.All Ranger derivatives comewith a compre-hensive 4-year / 120 000 km warranty and a5-year / 90 000 km service plan with serviceintervals of 15 000 km. Customers will alsobenefit from 3 years of roadside assistanceand a 5-year corrosionwarranty as part of theFord Ranger package.

Twelve cylinders, twin-turbo-charging, 463kW of output and1 000Nm of torque – the new S 65AMG sets the standard as themostpowerful vehicle in its segment ofthe market. Exceptional perform-ance and outstanding dynamism –thesearethehallmarksoftheAMG6,0-litre V12 biturbo engine.

With its reduced fuel consumption,the new V12 sedan is fit for the futureas well. The AMG sports suspensionbased on Magic Body Control comesas standard with Road Surface Scan,theworld’s first suspensionwith eyes.It goes without saying that the S 65AMGofferssupremeexclusivity inde-sign and equipment specification.Two innovations, the head-up dis-

play and the touchpad, represent fur-ther enhancements in terms of com-fort and safety.The S 65 AMG is the only high-per-

tion of the S 63 AMG in late 2013, weare now proud to bring the new S 65AMGL.Supremeluxuryandincompa-rable dynamism provide the guaran-teeofatrulyincredibledrivingexperi-ence. With the third generation of theS 65AMG,we offer ourV12 customers

gine delivers 463 kWwith amaximumtorqueof1 000Nm–figuresthatenablethe S 65 AMG to outperform all othervehiclesinitssegment.Thissuperiori-ty is highlighted by the car’s perform-ance: the S 65 AMG accelerates from0 to 100 km/h in 4,3 seconds,with a topspeedof250km/h(electronicallylimit-ed). The strengths of the 12-cylinderbiturbo engine from Mercedes-AMGincludeitseffortlessaccelerationinallspeedrangesaswellasitsrefinedoper-ation, with the distinctive V12 soundtypicalofAMG.Inshort: theS 65AMGimpresseswithitssuperiorandstylishperformance.Comparedwith the previousmodel,

The S 65 AMG features asstandard the AMG sports suspensionbasedonMagic body control. ThenewS-Class is the firstcar intheworldableto recognise road surface undulationsin advance. If Road Surface Scan de-tects such undulations with the helpof the stereo camera,MagicBodyCon-trol adjusts the suspension inadvanceto suit the situation. The “Comfort”and “Sport” modes are available for adriver-defined suspension setup.

While AMG-specific elastokinematicson the four-link front axle and multi-link independent rear suspensionmakeforgreaterdirectnesswhenady-namic driving style is adopted, theAMG sports suspension, based onMagic Body Control ensures the pro-verbial Mercedes long-distance com-fort.The S 65 AMG is equipped as stand-

ard with ESP® Dynamic CorneringAssist. Targeted braking interventionat the inside rear wheel results in de-fined cornering of the vehicle and en-sures greater agility when taking cor-ners at high speed. There is no irritat-ing understeer when turning intocorners.Intelligent Drive: new standards in

safetyThe S 65 AMG also sets new stand-

ards in terms of active and passivesafety: what began with PRE-SAFE®ten years ago and continued with Dis-tronic plus is now leading to a new di-mension in driving. Comfort and safe-ty have merged into one. Mercedes-Benz calls this “Intelligent Drive”

This week was one of so near and yetso far. Our brave soldiers of the Brodieteam, in a bid to get to the finals of theBoland league, just lost out this Satur-day to an in form Stellenbosch team.Theguyscan feel veryproudof them-

selves as they tied in third place out of32 league teams. This is the best theteam has done for over a decade.Well done to team captain Stephen

van der Merwe for guiding his men sowell, and well done to the team for agallant and valiant effort.Thisweekwas a bit of awashout, the

ladies were blown away on Tuesdayand the men were washed away onWednesday, luckily though the weath-er turned andwehad a lovely Saturdaywith 116 players and a nice bogey plusalliance format.Coming out on top this week was Si-

mon Upton, Brian Barker, Ray CalitzandcurrentpresidentWendellMeiringwith+23, justonepointbehindwinningacountoutwasNeilMalan,PierreHus-selman, Jan Kuhn and Andre Nel.There were only 5 two clubs and the

ball pool paid to +16. The large jackpotis still in tact and rising, it now standsat R1 485.Two exceptional scores this week

wereAlanToombsandHennieTheron,both recording a superb nett 65.Special mention for the play of the

day must go to our friendly marshalRod Taylor, who managed an eagle onthe sixth hole, driver, 3 wood, 5 iron in-to the hole! Well done.Until next week, keep calm and go

golfing.

Pieter de Villiers by LaerskoolELBÉ VAN HEERDEN

Oud-Springbokafrigter, Pieter deVil-liers, wat deesdae meer bekend is asmotivering-spreker,hetverledeweekbesoek afgelê by Laerskool Herma-nus omdie leerders aan temoedig omhul beste te gee by die afgelope na-week se interskole.“Toe ek jonk was, wou ek graag ge-

hadhetmensemoetvanmyhou,”ver-tel De Villiers. “Ek het nooit geweetwie ek was nie. Ek het nie besef datdit nie ander mense se idees is watvan jou ’n suksesmaaknie,maar eer-der die besluit wat jy maak.“Die waarheid is dat jy baie dinge

in jou lewe eers gaan leer na jy besefwie jy is.“Vir julle wat vanjaar in graad se-

we is, is interskole een van die groot-stegebeurtenisseinjul lewens.Ditsaldie laaste keer wees wat jy vir jouskool in diéwedstryde kan deelneem.Ná dit kom jou laaste eksamens envan daar beweeg jy na die hoërskool

waar jy weer alles vir die eerste keersal doen.

“Vir sommige is dit groter as Kers-fees. En indien jou span nie wen nie,sal jy nog ’n jaar moet wag om dit regte stel. Maar indien jou doel is om tewen, het jy die verkeerde doelwit.

“Jy en jou spanhet geen beheer oorwie wen of verloor nie. Slegs hoe onsvoorberei is ’n bereikbare doelwit.Dít is in julle hande.”

Hy het verder uitgebrei op die sto-rie van Dawid en Goliat.

“Goliat het die groot fout gemaakomnieandermense terespekteernie.Hy het neergekyk op hulle en sodoen-de het hy iets baie belangrik misge-kyk. Hy het sy opposisie onderskat.

“Dawid was nederig en deur anderte respekteer, het hy dit reggekry omsy grootste vyand te verslaan.

“Respeksal jouhelpomaantegaan,jou konsentrasie te behou, en nié jouvyandteonderskatnie.Ditgaanaltydoor die geeswaarmee jy jouwedstrydaanpak.”
