GARAGE DOOR Maintenance, service, installation and repairs.

FRICO DIENSTE Pty (Ltd)

The garage door is the single biggest moving object on your property. It weighs 60kg for a single door to 200+kg for a double wooden door. To open the door a torsion spring assists you and takes most of the weight of the door. Two steel cables both sides of the door carry the weight. If the cables rust the door may fall on a person or vehicle causing severe injury or damage.

I will service your garage doors and replace parts to ensure the safety of your loved ones.

14 July 2022

Threats to Nature’s Bounty I have just seen a deligh ul video clip that made my heart sing: three o ers tro ng along the beach at Noetzie.

They stopped now and then, scratched an ear, looked around, and then tro ed on un l they disappeared behind some rocks.

It was wonderful!

The o er clip reminded me of the former head of SANParks, Robbie Robinson. I remember one evening listening to him describe the ba les he’d had in ge ng the now famous O er Trail established.

Robbie, who was the head of the Tsitsikamma Na onal Park at the me, struggled for years to convince the old guard in the parks board to allow the trail to be built. Thanks goodness he persevered.

Robbie also told me a lovely tale about an o er. He and his family saw o ers quite o en in the Tsitsikamma park, but there was one par cular o er that seemed to take a liking to them. It used to come up to their canoes and even up to them when they were swimming, and play around. The family grew really fond of it.

Then one day it was gone.

As the days went by, Robbie began to worry.

“I thought it may have suffered the same fate as the o er in Ring of Bright Water,” he said at the me.

As those who read the book will remember, Gavin Maxwell’s famous pet o er was killed by a guy digging ditches.

Back to the Tsitsikamma: as the days turned into weeks with no sigh ng of the o er, Robbie and his family gave up hope of ever seeing it again.

Then one day it returned. They were delighted. To Robbie’s amazement, he saw a couple of young o ers swimming behind it.

“It had gone off to breed, and had come back to show us its family,” he said.

It was a lovely tale.

While s ll smiling remembering, Robbie’s o er story, a piece of grim news dropped into my inbox: the UN’s IPBES report on biodiversity.

It is the result of four year’s work by many scien sts and it tells us this: Biodiversity – plants and animals – is being lost, and nature is being degraded, at a faster rate now than at any other point in human history.

A key reason for this crisis is the way poli cal and economic decision-makers value nature – mainly for “short-term profits” – a view that excludes the true value of nature and how our lives depend on it.

Imagine if we had to create rain. Or make soil. Or regulate climate.

Or a thousand other of nature’s “services” that are given to us free of charge.

Poli cians and economists need to recognise nature’s true value when they make decisions, and not simply value the “hard-cash” aspects of nature, like food provision.

I think it’s up to us ordinary ci zens to help them realise this, and here’s how we can make a start: by commen ng on the dra white paper on biodiversity on the Department of Forestry Fisheries and Environment website: www.dffe.gov.za If we want our grandchildren to see o ers gambling about on beaches – and a host of other aspects of nature – we all need to do something now.
