Overstrand best in West The Overstrand Municipality earned bragging rights after a study showed that on a local municipality level, most of the best performers - eight out of the top 10, were in the Western Cape, with Overstrand topping the list.

Second was Stellenbosch, with Steve Tshwete (in Mpumalanga) third and Saldanha Bay fourth.

Last year Saldanha took top honours, followed by Stellenbosch, and Overstrand was third.

“Western Cape and Gauteng municipalities remain typically the best managed and most competitive in a year ridden with protests,” Municipal IQ said in their statement, releasing its Municipal Productivity Index (MPI) and Compliance and Governance Index (CGI).

The MPI combines financial and other data to assess individu-

als’ ability to engage with local economies, how vibrant the local economy is, and how does a municipality contribute to this.

The CGI focuses on how well municipalities are meeting basic planning, reporting, financial management, and capacity requirements.

All in all 278 municipalities were weighed up against each other.

The rest in the top 10 list of bestmanaged local municipalities are: 5. Thabazimbi (LIMPOPO). 6.

Mossel Bay (WC). 7. Cape Agulhus (WC). 8. Knysna (WC). 9. Bitou (WC). 10. Drakenstein (WC). ) Municipal IQ is a web-based data and intelligence service that monitors and assesses South Africa’s municipalities.

PROPOSED BYPASS ROAD “This road will kill the CBD. And to put it right next to a school, puts our children’s safety in danger. And then to build it through part of a wetland area is just madness.”

CCTV for Hermanus JANINE VAN DER RIET

After numerous organisations and committees spoke for eight years about installing CCTV cameras in Hermanus, Hermanus Public Protection (HPP) has taken the initiative to make this a reality.

After HPP investigated different types of surveillance cameras and their effectiveness, during the past year, the first 14 cameras will now be installed as per the first phase of the project.

Freddie Cronjé, chairperson of HPP, motivated their decision to HPP members on Friday at an information

meeting, as well as on Tuesday evening at their AGM in the municipal auditorium.

During the first phase, 14 cameras will be erected on nine-metre poles, fitted with solar panels so that power failures will not have an effect on the 24-hour surveillance. HPP employees will be tasked with monitor duties.

This R980 000 project for Phase One, financed by HPP, will include ten cameras in the CBD. The other four will be divided: One at the Sandbaai/Hemel-enAarde Road crossing; one at the entrance to Voëlklip; one at Rotary Drive; and one overlooking Fernkloof Nature Reserve.

The Overstrand Municipality indicated that they will supply two response vehicles, as well as a control room.

The cliff paths in Hermanus will be Phase Two and HPP will have consultation meetings beforehand.

Members at the meeting had some questions about the cameras, but after Cronjé addressed their concerns, everyone at the AGM was satisfied that the project would improve investment and tourism in Hermanus.

“The goal is to change Hermanus into a zero-crime tourist destination, safe for all involved,” Cronjé said about the project, that will commence in the next few weeks.

Conceptual alignment of the proposed 3 km Hermanus CBD bypass road, starting at the intersection of Main Road and Mimosa Street, running along Mountain Drive and down Jose Burman Drive that separates the high school from the cricket sports field. Then it runs along a section of Fairways Avenue and joins Main Road at a new traffic circle east of the existing intersection of Fairways Avenue with Main Road.

Bypass off to a bumpy start JAN­HENDRIK COETZER Consultants from SRK Consulting and EFG Engineers were in for a rather nasty surprise when around 100 stakeholders and local residents just about had enough of the proposed plans for a CBD bypass road for Hermanus.

This came after the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process started releasing background information on the proposed CBD bypass road on Monday 8 December at the Hermanus High School.

While David Faure from EFG Engineers gave his presentation on what motivated such a road, everyone listened, but when members of the public were given the floor to ask questions, all hell broke loose.

What was supposed to be a question and answer session soon became a school hall filled with only questions with no real answers and temperatures rising, after which Faure said, “your points are all noted and will be taken into consideration and handled by the EIA throughout the process.”

One furious resident said: “This road will kill the CBD. And to put it right next to a school, puts our children’s safety in danger. And then to build it through part of a wetland area is just madness. This whole presentation and consultation is a disgrace, and I cannot believe you came all this way to provide us with such illplanned information.”

According to Faure he admitted that the section by the school is still a worrying factor, but that is what the

consultation process is all about.

“Nothing is paved in stone. This process is still in very early stages, but you must remember, time doesn’t stand still. We need to plan for the future. Specialists also need to be appointed as this process develops.”

Most of the attendees felt that the bypass is going to be a waste of millions and they are not convinced that there is a need for one.

“I don’t see a traffic problem at all.

Since 2007 traffic declined on the R43 and now you are predicting an increase. It doesn’t make sense. You first have to convince me that there is a need for this bypass,” another resident said.

Residents also wanted to know what about the impact on the value of properties close to the golf course and Mountain Drive.

To this question Faure answered, “it’s only a proposal at this stage, so nothing is for definite. We will keep people updated.”

Duncan Heard, chairperson of the Fernkloof Nature Reserve Advisory Board, said: “Sound reasoning must be provided as to why our community needs to reduce the size of a relatively small nature reserve, which is on the same scale of the importance as the Kogelberg Biosphere Nature Reserve in terms of global importance.

“Why must we sacrifice the landscape character and tranquillity of our urban edge, replacing it with a noisy highway? Why must the easy public access, available for more than fifty years, to the nature reserve be cut off, and why must the country character of the high school, future

sports complex and weekend country market be destroyed by such a bypass?”

Heard says that Hermanus has a limited growth potential, stuck between the mountain and the see.

“To address the challenges of the future and effectively conserve our natural and cultural heritage, it requires a modern innovative approach that is not just driven by clinical engineering, town planning formulas and solutions.”

A possible solution given by one of the residents was that “instead of spending millions on a new bypass, why not rather use that money to upgrade the existing relief road?”

According to Stephen Müller, director of infrastructure and planning at the Overstrand Municipality, no decisions have been made as yet. “At this stage we are not sure about anything. The EIA process will tell us what we need to know and only then will we decide.

“Yes, we wanted the bypass, because we want to see the CBD used by people who want to use the CBD. And Fernkloof stays the crown jewel of the municipality. The portion by the mountain side is not part of Fernkloof. It is just the section by Hoy’s Koppie.”

Faure added that “If the road happens, and only if it happens, it all depends on the outcome of further studies and specialised availability.

“The final EIA report is expected by mid 2015, but before then there will be plenty opportunities for further public participation and feedback sessions.”

When a famous Scottish writer comes to town...

Ian Rankin, the Scottish thriller writer, visited bookshops in Hermanus, much to the delight of ‘bookies’ Beth Hunt (Hemingway’s) and Corinne Hendry (‘bookmark’).

Beth tells of her encounter with him when he and his wife came browsing: “One of the first customers that Friday morning comes up to the counter and purchases a book about a writer’s creativity in imagining characters.

‘Do you write?’ I ask her.

She tells me that it is her husband who is the writer.

I’m curious. ‘What does he write?’

‘Crime fiction,’ she replies.

‘What is his name?’

‘Ian Rankin.’

‘The Ian Rankin!’ I exclaim, remembering that I had recently read an exclusive interview with him published in a long out-of-print

A selfie with Beth Hunt and Ian Rankin. issue of Book and Magazine Collector.

‘I would love to meet him’ I enthuse, and from somewhere amongst the bookshelves he emerges - the tall, notably striking and famous Scottish writer.

Rankin is best known for the series of novels featuring the Edinburgh detective, Inspector John Rebus. Way back in 2002, when Ian was in his early forties, he was a

recipient of the OBE. He is undoubtedly considered one of the top British crime writers; in fact, it is said that no Scottish novelist since Sir Walter Scott has had the commercial and critical acclaim that Ian Rankin has.

His brilliant craftsmanship of the who dunnit genre has placed his indelible footprint on the literary map of Scotland.

With his boyish charm and engaging approach, I found him easy to talk to and in chatting, he told me he is a collector of books, particularly first editions. ‘I have so many,’ he says, ‘that the overflow gets stored in my garage which means that there is no place to park the car.’

A highlight and memorable moment was an impromptu selfie close-up encounter with the famous writer. No doubt, my Scottish grandfather would have been proud!”

Swartz­vroue in die kalklig

Die Swartzgesin se vroue is besig om vir hulself naam te maak. Hier is Megan, ma Helen en Abigail.

ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Die Swartz-vroue van Hawston staan vir niemand terug nie en is besig om elkeen in hul eie reg vir hulle ’n pad in die kollig uit te kerf.

Arum Street Hermanus

Tel: 028 312 2270 Cell: 082 772 7657 X1PHMEQH-HL041214

Ma Helen Swartz het al kennis gemaak met van die bekendste Afrikaanse akteurs, terwyl Megan (20), haar oudste dogter, volgende jaar in New York gaan modelwerk doen. Abigail (18), die jongste, is weer die gesin se boekwurm en is pas as Hawston Sekondêr se topmatriekleerder aangewys.

Megan is reeds van kleins af lief vir modelwerk. “Hulle het grootgeword met Tyra Banks op die televisie,” vertel haar trotse ma.

“En as die laaste deuntjie speel, het Megan vir ons gewys hoe om ’n loopplank loop te doen,” voeg Abigail by.

Megan het in September vanjaar deelgeneem aan Mej. Wes-Kaap waar sy raakgesien is deur Elsabé de Lange, die eienaar van Just You Model and Artist Management. Sy is genooi om aan die Applause Rising Talent Showcase (ARTS) deel te neem by Monte Casi-

no in Johannesburg, waar Kim Meyers haar genooi het na die internasionale byeenkoms wat in 2015 in New York plaasvind, waar sy hopelik deur ’n agentskap opgeraap sal word.

“Ek is verskriklik opgewonde. Ek was nog nooit oorsee nie,” sê Megan. Sy werk nou hard daaraan om haar inskrywingsgeld bymekaar te maak.

Intussen neem Megan saam met twee van haar beste vriende, Curtis Claasen en Cheriden Baartman aan verskeie plaaslike kompetisies deel. Dié drie het ook ’n nuwe modelskool, CCM Modeling, in Hawston begin, en het verlede week hul eerste samekoms gehad.

“Ons wil graag ander mense uit die gemeenskap help om ook hul potensiaal te bereik.”

Abigail se planne is om verder te studeer.

Alhoewel sy by drie universiteite aanvaar is, beplan sy om volgende jaar by die Universiteit van die Wes-Kaap onderwys te studeer.

“Ek sien ongelooflik daarna uit om te begin studeer. Ek sal ook graag my honneurs wil doen. Ek is baie lief vir kinders en ek dink ek sal gemaklik in onderwys inpas.”

Buiten haar akademiese prestasies het sy ook netbal gespeel, was deel van die verteen-

woordigende raad van leerders en ook drie jaar ’n lid van die junior stadsraad, die laaste jaar as uitvoerende lid.

Ma Helen se loopbaan in die kollig het begin ná ’n plaaslike produksie van die Hawston Drama-vereniging, Perlemoen my Ghoen. Sy is deur Henry Milne raakgesien en genooi om saam met Vinette Ebrahim (Charmaine van 7de Laan-faam) in die produksie, Poppie Nongena, te speel, waarin sy Poppie (Ebrahim) se ma vertolk het.

“Dit was ongelooflik om met al die bekendes te kan meng,” vertel sy. “Ons het ook by die Suidoosterfees en die volgende jaar by die KKNK opgetree.”

Helen is steeds by die plaaslike drama-vereniging betrokke.

Agter elke vrou . . . Dié vroue word bygestaan deur die stil mans in hul lewe. Magnum, Helen se man, is ’n visserman en hul seun en broer, Brandon Temmers, is ’n taxi-bestuurder. ) Enigeen wat kan help om CCM Modeling School op enige wyse te ondersteun, kan aan Megan ’n e-pos stuur by swartzmegan5@gmail.com.

Dangerous sea leads to ‘dry’ unveiling JAN­HENDRIK COETZER When the much awaited D-day, for the unveiling of the Cape Whale Coast Hope Spot underwater plaque at the Old Harbour, arrived, the sea was deemed too dangerous to dive down.

With swells measuring 3 meters on Saturday, Dr Sylvia Earle, world famous diver and marine conservationist, remarked “no one is going to die on my watch today, it is simply

too dangerous.”

Much preparation and planning had preceded what was to be the main attraction of the Hope Spot day.

A big screen was also erected in the Eco-Marine village tent on Market Square where visitors sat ready to follow her every move underwater, but it was not to be.

Instead Earle, joined by Overstrand Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, unveiled the “on land” Hope Spot plaque, on the stone fixture be-

hind the cannons at the Old Harbour, and declared the Cape Whale Coast an official Hope Spot.

Earle then spent some time visiting stalls inside the tent and agreed that the “Catchment to Coast” theme displayed in the tent was of utmost importance for the conservation and protection of the ocean “because our rivers feed our oceans and in turn our oceans feed our rivers.”

There was also a busy lineup for sea-related activities aimed at youngsters. Kids enjoyed a fossil shark tooth hunt, face painting, an abalone touch tank, rock pool ex-

The day’s activities ended with a cocktail event hosted at the municipal auditorium, followed by a VIP dinner at the Harbour Rock Restaurant.

On Sunday Earle had breakfast at the Great White House in Kleinbaai and then Evan Austin from African Wings whisked her away to Knysna.

According to Liezl Bezuidenhout from Environmental Management at the Overstrand Municipality, a

moment of silence dawned on those standing as the plane lifted off the airstrip at Grootbos.

“This tiny woman, almost 80 years old, with her humble manner, profound knowledge and love for the ocean, left us all standing in awe.

How privileged we all were to meet this great custodian of our ocean.

She left behind the pride of a people united through ‘hope’.”

The other Hope Spots, which are also being officially launched this month include Aliwal Shoal in KwaZulu-Natal, Algoa Bay, Plettenberg Bay, Knysna and False Bay.

Molly Venter, principal at Hermanus Private Montessori School in Hermanus, retired this week. The reins will be taken over by Caronne Vermaak.

Principal Molly retires after 46 years JANINE VAN DER RIET Molly Venter, principal at Hermanus Private Montessori School, is retiring “for the last time”, after many attempts to do so previously.

After 46 years of being involved in education, and three glorious years at Montessori, Molly says this time she feels satisfied with handing over her duties to Caronne Vermaak, who will take over as principal in January.

Listening to Molly’s list of achievements throughout her career, one cannot help but admire her dedication and be happy that she will now become a woman of leisure and enjoy some well-deserved rest.

Some of her achievements include being appointed as the first female rector at a residential FET College, being selected as the runner up in the Nedbank Business Woman of the Year for managing a college with 12 000 students, and winning Gauteng’s Business Woman of the Year competition.

Molly started and is ending her working life in education as a primary school teacher, “so I feel my career has come a full circle”.

Molly and hubby Johan Venter will now enjoy their golden years.

Molly intends to write a book, something she has been wanting to do for many years, and will spend quality time with their three daughters and six grandchildren.

“I will though truly miss all the children and staff at the school, but I will be back to visit as often as possible.”

Molly has high praise for Caronne, whom she describes as one of the best.

“She is highly-educated, qualified, determined and will make a success of everything. I groomed her well.”

Caronne has been living in Hermanus on and off for the past seven years.

She has taught at private schools in England, and worked with junior and pre-primary learners.

She qualified as a Montessori educator and became head of the curriculum in 2012.

Planning for 2015 has already started and between Molly and Caronne, they have held several meetings with the teachers.

Caronne’s vision is for Montessori to continue to be a school of excellence.

“There are many great schools in the Overstrand. We at Montessori are like a little community, with every child seen as a person, furthering morals and values, educating them to develop into phenomenal people.”

This photo of Gabi Brummer (HAWS cat volunteer and co-ordinator), Sue Taylor, Dr Sandy Waddingham and Ilze Smith (HAWS Chairperson) and Lynn Penver with little Danny on her lap was taken only a few weeks before Lynn’s death on Friday 5 December.

HAWS life president (92) dies JANINE VAN DER RIET Lynne Penver, the Life President of the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) passed away on Friday in the age of 92 at Huis Lettie Theron.

Lynne, together with other role players, founded HAWS in 1969.

A few weeks before her death, Lynne expressed her wish to visit the kennels and hold some of the kittens and cats, and on 12 November, she had the opportunity to visit the society that has been close to her heart.

A friend says, after her visit, it seemed she had found peace, she was relaxed, as if she knew it was to be her last visit.

Years ago, Lynne was wellknown for her work at the HAWS charity shop and she was also a long standing member of the committee.

She was also involved in fund raising and the people of Onrus will remember her as the person ‘shaking tins’ each December at Rheezicht for the Society, accompanied by Tessa, her beloved Labrador.

Lynne was a trained singer, and also found time to write a very popular “chit chat” column for the Times of Hermanus for almost 20 years. Her husband, Arthur, was deputy mayor of Onrus for a time.

Lynne leaves behind a son living in Cape Town and a daughter living in the UK.

Dedicated animal lover passes away Cynthia Swain 7/5/1939 - 29/11/2014 Cynthia Swain was a quiet, private person who in her youth had many interests, which she always pursued unobtrusively, never pushing herself to the fore in anything.

As a teenager she became interested in naval matters and joined the Sea Rangers in Simon’s Town.

She was with them for five years, leaving as an officer.

At 21 she sailed to the UK to seek her fortune. This is also where she met her future husband, on the day she stepped off the ship at South hampton.

Gilbert Swain had been asked by a friend to meet this young lady as she came ashore and transport her safely to London. They were married 10 years later.

Around 1980 they returned to South Africa for good and settled in Cape Town, where she could at last fulfil her life-long wish of working with animals.

She was immediately drawn to “The World of Birds” in Hout Bay and worked with owner and founder Walter Mangold as a volunteer for many years.

In time she also became a volunteer at SANCCOB- a facility for the rehabilitation of injured and distressed sea-birds.

At this time her husband Gilbert died and Cynthia decided to move to Hermanus, where her sister Jenny and brother-in-law Allan were already living.

Here she did not lose her interest in sea birds and for many years she

was go-between in the transport of oil-soaked penguins from Dyer Island.

These birds were transported to Hermanus to Cynthia, who would drive them at her own expense to the next handler in Somerset West, who would then transport the birds to their final destination at the SANCCOB headquarters in Milnerton, Cape Town Sometimes the birds from Dyer Island would arrive in Hermanus late in the afternoon; Cynthia could not accommodate them for the night in her small cottage at Kidbrooke, so they would sleep in Jenny and Allan’s garage in Fisherhaven, with each bewildered penguin patiently waiting in its own box.

Overnighters would be forcefed electrolyte solution so that they Cynthia Swain would not dehydrate on their journey to Milnerton the next day. The process of treating each patient was accompanied by squawking and honking in the garage every night.

In time, Cynthia had to hand this task over to others, as she found the journeys to Somerset West and back too tiring and expensive.

Meanwhile, she had joined the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society as a volunteer and this is where she became deeply involved. Not

having been allowed to keep a dog or cat of her own as a child, she could now express her abiding love for them in every possible way.

She offered her services wholeheartedly and was totally committed to manning the Animal Welfare shop in town most Fridays, or filling in on days when other helpers were unable to.

She spent hours with the cats at the kennels and walked the dogs too, until this became too taxing as well.

Cynthia served on the HAWS committee for quite some time and was also appointed treasurer.

She volunteered to help the vets with the “spayathons” in the townships and right up to a few months ago, spent hours distributing and collecting the Animal Welfare charity boxes from the various supermarkets and other venues where they had been placed.

Cynthia developed cancer in 2013, was treated successfully and was in remission until two months ago when the cancer returned. She underwent chemotherapy but deteriorated markedly until she passed away on 29 November.

Cynthia leaves her sister Jenny, brother-in-law Allen and nephew and godson, Rory.

With very little effort customers can use their phones to pick and choose their favourite groceries before submitting an online order that will arrive in just 24 hours.

The new venture is expected to appeal to holiday makers and locals desperate to avoid the chaos and queues of the peak season.

By employing professional shoppers to deliver groceries throughout some of South Africa's most frequented holiday towns, the goal is to deliver top-quality service in Plettenberg Bay, St Francis and Hermanus.

Owner of the company, Christopher Ball, explains that the idea for the company came from wanting to give their customers more time on the beach and less time in the shops this festive season.

So, for anyone wanting to make the most of their summer, sign up at www.thedropoff.co.za or have a look at the Facebook page for more information.

NIGHT OF 1000 DRAWINGS: There may have been a power outage on Friday late afternoon, but there was no stopping the surge of art lovers (and gallery owners) who descended onto the galleries in the CBD looking to buy an A5 artwork or three, as part of the charity driven Night of 1000 Drawings initiave, hosted on the First Fridays Art Walk.

Seen here browsing is Tyrone Selmon (Art Eye) and Sonja Basoc. PHOTOS: CILENE BEKKER

Gretha Berg, Ina Schirmeisen (her son Harem donated quite a few figure drawings) Jozua Rossouw (Rossouw Modern) and Sally Bryson.

Bernd and Andrea Seidel (Voëlklip swallows from Germany) browsing at the Abalone art gallery, with Isabel Mulder (gallery owner Ortrud’s daughter) showing some of the artworks. The Night of 1000 Drawings was dubbed a wonderful initiative, not only for a good cause - the donation of proceeds to three charities, but also as a fun night out in the CBD. “It also gives unknown artists an opportunity for exposure,” commented Mulder. Drawings ranged from collectors pieces from local artists at one end to cute kiddie drawings that ouma and oupa lovingly paid R100 for.

Place in the sun for all?

EDITORIAL COMMENT Proudly Hermanus The recent public participation meeting about the proposed plan for the bypass road had residents in an uproar last seen at the meeting about upgrades at Grotto Beach. And even further back, the Station Square developments...

So often one hears complaints that there isn’t enough involvement from the commu­ nity, that not enough people pitch up or support events, but if there are issues that tug at their heart strings, it’s a whole differ­ ent kettle of fish.

Propose something that would drastical­ ly change the character/heart of Herma­ nus, and you have a community that stands together. As happened at the bypass meet­ ing on Monday evening when those who attended united in their opposition. Saying prove first why it is needed, and then we will consider the pros and cons.

The consulting team soon ran out of an­ swers, and realised their proposal needs to be taken back to the drawing board.

Hermanus residents are a force to be reckoned with.

And so is our municipality, topping the Municipal IQ list!

SAPS is tops During the weekend of 11 November, various items were stolen out of a tool shed on a farm outside Stanford.

A week later Warrant Officer Frans from Caledon SAPS stopped a suspicious-looking driver in a vehicle in Caledon and found a generator in the possession of the driver. He asked the driver where he got the generator from, but the driver could not answer.

The generator was taken away by SAPS. Frans then linked up with WO Carl De Does and his task team from Hermanus.

The task team went to Stanford to the home of the suspect, where they also recovered a brand-new stolen weed eater. After further investigation, they arrested three more suspects from Stanford and also recovered a 14 kg bottle of cooking gas. I would like to take this opportunity to thank SAPS, especially WO Frans, De Does and his task team, as well as Captain Nel from Hermanus SAPS. This was definitely a team effort from SAPS. I found the police officers in the Hermanus charge office to be very competent and helpful.

Thank you Rotary I hereby want to express my heartfelt thanks to the president and the board members of the Rotary Club of Hermanus.

The assistance I have received from you during the past three years has made an immense difference in enabling me to pursue my studies with confidence.

I wanted to take this opportunity to assure you of how much your support has meant to me. Thank you!

Medals should be earned The present Police Commissioner, Riah Phiyega, who has only been in the Police Force two years, was seen at a recent parade illegitimately wearing four Police medals.

This is now the third top cop in a row to have abused their position, and disgraced the good name of the SAPS. The four medals seen on her tunic were: – The first being a 10-year Commemoration Award, but she has only had two years service in the Police Force.

– The second a Gold Medal for Outstanding Service.

With crime rates on the rise, Marikana, police brutality, mall robberies escalating out of control, many of convicted criminals in the SAPS ranks, corruption, bribery and many other issues still outstanding, one is hard pressed to establish which excellent service she has rendered.

– The third the Soccer World Cup 2010 Support Award Medal. It is incredible that she was able to earn this award given that the World Cup took place a full two years before the Commissioner even joined the police. Any responsible person would be embarrassed with such an obvious display.

– The fourth medal was for the 11 police agencies that were amalgamated into one in 1994. This is extremely well done given that this, too, far preceded her time at the SAPS by 18 years.

This type of honour bestowing shows a total disregard for the value placed on the awarding of medals. How can anyone have respect for a Police Force whose top echelon act like leaders in a banana republic law enforcement agency?

The Commissioner never served in the

Police Force until she was appointed two years ago. What faith can the public have in the SAPS when they observe this total lack of decorum in the top structure?

How must dedicated professional policemen and women who have made of the Police Service a career and vocation, feel when their seniors act in such an irresponsible way, and how can they have pride in their uniforms and careers? What must policemen think and feel who have in the course of duty, put their lives on the line to protect the public and have legitimately been honoured by Police medals, that have now been devalued by the commissioner’s behaviour?

Thank goodness there are still a group of professional and dedicated policemen and women whose creed is to “Serve and Protect” and who believe in upholding the law.

We in Hermanus are extremely lucky to have one such policeman in Lt.-Colonel Francois de Wet, acting Station Commander, who has loyal, efficient and dedicated police under his command, and who has maintained his enthusiasm and dedication, despite having been overlooked for the Station Commander’s position for twelve years. During that time he has had to take on the acting role each time after six new appointees, who held the position of Station Commissioner, left during this period.

I recall a similar incident where the newly politically appointed Commanding Officer of the Natal Regiment stole medals from the museum and wore them on his uniform. What are the senior people in our security forces coming to?

Overstrand municipal officials serve residents well It came to me as no surprise that the Overstrand Municipality has recently been rated one of two best run municipalities in the Western Cape, as we who live here see ongoing evidence of their commitment and competence.

As a resident and ratepayer, I wish to thank the executive mayor and her staff, as well as the municipal manager and his staff, for their dedication, drive and sense of direction, and their determination to get the job done, and done well. The affairs and the development of the Overstrand are in capable hands – and it is our duty to be not only supportive, but also actively involved.

One of the ways residents could become actively involved, would be to participate in the large scale project to revitalise the Hermanus CBD, which has become of vital importance if we wish for it to remain the social and economic heart of our town. In response to the request

for ideas to ensure this, I would like to propose that the existing taxi rank be relocated to the industrialarea.Theideamaysoundfarfetched, but warrants a reassessment of the purpose and present location of this necessary facility, which mainly serves the inhabitants of Mount Pleasant, Zwelihle and Hawston, and mainly in their need to get to and from their places of employment.

The present taxi rank serves as the main base, from where the taxi industry operates an extensive transport network to and from all the areas that make up the Overstrand. Surely such a base need not be in the heart of town, and may even serve the Mount Pleasant, Zwelihle and Hawston residents better if it’s located closer to the residential areas and closer to the industrial area, where many of them are employed.

THEO DE WET HERMANUS

The Market Traders Association is distressed about the prejudice displayed towards their place of livelihoods by the 50 or so residents who attended the CBD revitalisation meeting on 27 November.

The sentiments below were discussed at a meeting of their committee held during the power outage on Monday.

Market Square is and has probably always been the true hub of Hermanus. Historically as a source of income for poor fishing families and the initial place of the development of the micro-revenue, for the historical fishing village.

From simple corrugated iron-roofed shelters for selling fish and later fresh fruit and veg from farms, right up to the 1980s they were there selling their wares off the back of wellworn farm trucks and bakkies.

As time passed and the community grew, the sale of shoes (and sold there by the cobbler) and cloth continued into the 90s! “Hukbuk” the cobbler and Bruce van der Spuy (of then Fishermans Cottage), with his clothes from exotic places in South America, traded his colourful hippy style clothes and sarongs under the market’s afdak on a Saturday morning.

When Bruce conceived the life-changing Whale Festival, life changed forever.

So the area evolved as others arrived with previously unavailable wares and clothing from Greenmarket Square in Cape Town.

After 1994, when trade with the rest of Africa was permitted, the market experienced a shift in the style of goods available to the public and growing international tourist industry.

Hermanus had a delightful flea market of colourful gazebos and umbrellas, and a mix of traders giving a very African character, that has drawn tourists local and from far and wide to our Hermanus shores year round.

The need arose in time with the flea market bursting at the seams to create a market style structure to accommodate the traders.

With proposals by Gapp Architects, and the late Ivor Prinsloo, a blueprint for the redevelopment of Market Square was designed.

A local architect (and member of the Heritage Committee) was appointed to design a building in keeping with the market square and adjacent Fisherman’s Village on the only remaining municipal site, the FNB parking site.

So the red sheds were created in keeping with the “trading outside” paradigm, as at Cape Town’s waterfront.

The red sheds have made a huge contribution to tourism in Hermanus, provided revenue to the municipal coffers and created jobs for locals.

We can be proud that these traders from Africa are very much part of the microcosm of Hermanus. There must be a place in the Hermanus sun for all!

MARKET TRADERS ASSOCIATION

A tribute to Albert Labo With reference to the article in last week’s HT about Albert Labo who died from his injuries sustained after an accident, in Sandbaai: Albert was my gardener, my cousin’s gardener and my neighbour’s gardener. He was tragically killed on Monday 1 December whilst cycling on his way to work for me.

Knocked off his bike after being hit by a car.

Albert was a kind, happy, lovely man, only 34 years old. He was a hard, honest, reliable and trustworthy worker.

He leaves behind his wife, Memory, and two young sons. Albert was from Zimbabwe and his wife is now trying to get funds together to send him home for burial, as is their cultural belief. Who is going to provide for his young family now?

Albert was going home for Christmas to visit his mother whom he had not seen for six years. Albert will be going home, but to be laid to rest.

R.I.P. Albert, we will all miss you very much.

Wie pas triage­stelsel in provinsiale hospitale toe?

Ek verwys na die berig “Pasient wag lank vir diens” van 4 Desember en wys graag die volgende uit: 1. Die vraag wat gevra moet word is wat is die kwalifikasies van die persoon wat in die eerste plek die waarneming gedoen het?

Is dit ’n administratiewe persoon?

2. Die antwoord gegee deur Natasha Peterson is nie vir my aanvaarbaar nie, sy verdedig net hul klassifikasiestelsel. Geen verskoning vir die verkeerde klassifikasie in die eerste plek nie. Hoekom moes pasiënte so lank wag of is daar nie genoeg dokters nie? Ek wil graag weet want dit is eintlik waaroor die saak gaan. Vanaf 11:30-15:00 word beskou as kort ure. Miskien het hulle ander soort horlosies maar daar bestaan nie kort ure vir ’n pasiënt in pyn nie.

3. Verder het hulle oorweeg om hom eers na ’n kliniek te stuur om te bepaal of hy siek genoeg is om ’n dokter te spreek. Hoe absurd want die verantwoordelik word net afgeskuif na ’n laer vlak as die hospitaal self.

4. Pasiënte moet verdraagsaam wees sodat ander persone met gevaarlike siektetoestande eerste gehelp word. Was die toestand van hierdie persoon dan nie gevaarlik nie? Hulle het nie geweet nie want die triage-stelsel is in plek. Geen

ondersoek, net ’n waarneming.

5. Theuns Botha se antwoord.

Hoe sou die kliniek dié toestand kon identifiseer het sonder bloedtoetse ens. net verdere vertraging.

Dit was mos ’n noodgeval. Botha word nie behandel in ’n provinsiale hospitaal nie, so is nie op hoogte van wat pasiënte ondervind nie.

6. Ek wil graag weet wat al dié amptenare sou doen as dit een van hul familielede was en of hulle dan ook hierdie triage-riglyne sou toepas en wat die kleurkode dan sou wees.

7. Hoekom is dié tipe ondervinding van pasiënte by alle provinsiale hospitale dieselfde. Ek het dit nog nooit ondervind in die private hospitale nie. Tans is ek ook aangewese op ’n provinsiale hospitaal en sien glad nie uit nie.

8. Wanneer staatshospitale se personeel begin besef elke pasiënt het die konstitusionele reg in dié land om behoorlike gesondheidsorg en met besorgdheid hanteer te word, sal dit baie beter gaan in ons hospitale.

9. Ek rig ’n uitdaging aan u koerant om te gaan kyk wat aangaan by die provinsiale hospitaal en te gesels met die pasiënte wat in rye wag om gehelp te word.

BESORGDE TOEKOMSTIGE PASIËNT

Development is inevitable, people must move with the times Years back I recall seeing grown men and maybe women fearlessly throwing themselves in front of Whitey Basson’s mighty bulldozers in an effort to thwart the building of the dreaded Checkers centre.

Well well, I wonder how many of those hardy souls are still around and are now patrolling the aisles for

bargains and “humble pie” which they should eat with much “relish”.

Judging by how always full the two hour free undercover parking is at Checkers, I suspect there are quite a few left, and guess what, some of them are probably strolling over to their other pet hate, Woollies because it is also nearly never empty.

So, just as the Khoisan must have been pretty peeved in 1652 when Jan van Riebeeck rocked up on the foreshore (V&A Waterfront now) and started all his dreadful development, so the village needs to move on.

The Overstrand will miss the worst of the cold front, currently heading over the country. A sunny Saturday is expected, with the weather turning colder at night. Sunday will be cloudy and mild with a maximum of 20 °C.

STEELE BRUMMER VOËLKLIP

Ons spring koue vry ’n Monster van ’n laagdruk wat gister diep suid van die eiland Gough vir hom begin opwerk het, kan dalk teen Maandag en Dinsdag ’n paar druppels nattigheid oor die Overstrand opklits, maar die Oos-Kaap en Gauteng gaan lelik les opsê so koes-koes onder die donderweer deur.

En as die front toegelaat word om ten volle te ontwikkel, soos dit gister begin lyk het, sal nooddienste moet bontstaan om verspoelings te hanteer.

Maar dit is doer ver van ons af, sê buurman toe iemand vra waarom die son so bleek bly. Nee, verduidelik nog iemand, oom Weerhaan het laasweek gesê hier kom weer ’n ding.

Die verbygaande front wat vandag net ’n strepie mistigheid op die horison sal wys, sal anderkant Mosselbaai deur die noordoos opgeraap word. Dis die begin van die dinge wat voorlê.

Overstranders wat gisteraand (Woensdagaand) rondom elfuur nog wakker was, het seker haastig die vensters toegemaak oor die skielike “trek” deur die huis. Die wind het skerp suid gedraai en ’n mistigheid oor die Overstrand ingestuur, maar teen elfuur vandag is dit darem weer 17 °C. Net nat vensters bly oor maar dit was meer mistigheid as druppels en die wind sal wes staan om dié klammigheid opnuut Oos-Kaap toe te verjaag.

Saterdagnag so rondom die vroegoggendure

stuur die Oos-Kaap die klammigheid ewe parmantig terug en is dit opnuut 16 °C hier by ons.

Die skielike midsomerse wispelturigheid is saam met gister (Woensdag) se nattigheid wat oor ons koppe is, die voorloper van die oog van die front en dui ook daarop dat die front baie sterk ontwikkel.

Dit is nou maar wors, sê buurman, die weer lyk nie lekker nie en stories oor siek tuine, paddas wat in die huise kom skuil en ’n onrustigheid onder die tuinvoëls, lyk of dit nie heeltemal ouvrou-stories is nie.

Weerhaan wat ’n groentetuintjie digby Stellenbosch met nette beskerm, hoor vriende so ver as Velddrif het tou opgegee om veral groenigheid soos spinasie aan die lewe te hou. Tog is die son maar sy gewone self en verskaf geen rede waarom die brood in die sonoond nie gaar wil word nie. Mens kan net nie jou vinger daarop lê nie.

Die Overstrand spring die ergste hitte vry en woeker benewens die paar koue aande in ’n gerieflike 20 tot 25 grade Celsius-klimaat.

12 HermanusTimes Negester­aftreeoord in Onrus amptelik geopen 11 December, 2014

Die aftree-oord Negester in Onrus (tussen die R43 en Onrus Hoofstraat), se opening is amptelik gevier op 6 Desember met verskeie belangstellendes, huisagente, ATKVamptenare en ook die minister van finansies, Wes-Kaap, dr. Ivan Meyer, teenwoordig.

Die ontwikkeling is in die portefeulje van die ATKV (Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuur-vereniging) wat meer bekend is vir hul belange in vakansieoorde. Negester is die eerste aftreebehuisingsprojek waarin hulle ’n ontwikkelingsvennoot is, met ’n 50% belang.

“Die ATKV finansier self dit wat hulle op taal- en kultuurgebied gedoen word, en dit is belangrik om ’n gesonde sakebestuur-grondslag te hê, vandaar die diversifikasie-strategie in onder meer studentebehuising en nou ook aftreebehuising,” het Japie Gouws, besturende direkteur van die ATKV, in sy toespraak Saterdag gesê.

Die oord bied eietitel (voltitel) eiendom aan kopers, en fokus spesifiek op die vyftigplussergroep. Voltitel beteken die huis kan bemaak word aan die eienaars se kinders; kinders kan eenhede vir hul ouers koop, en beleggers kan eenhede koop om te verhuur.

Kopers kan kies uit verskillende plot-enplan-pakkette met verskeie argitektoniese

Sr. Denise Claassens (Elsorg se verpleegdiensbestuurder) en Sue Wakeford (sorgbestuurder). Mediese dienste word deur Elsorg verskaf in die sorgsentrum sowel as tuisversorging by die eietitel-woonhuise.

style. Die ontwikkeling bestaan uit 125 eietitelwoonhuise van 128 m² tot 196 m²; 20 deeltitelwooneenhede te koop of te huur, en 30 versorgingseenhede.

Volgens Petrus Jooste, voorsitter van die Tweefonteine Ontwikkelingstrust wat die kompleks besit, het hul R75 m in bates in die projek belê, en is R42 m se verkope reeds vasgeteken.

Huise se pryse wissel van R1,944 m (R575 000 erfprys plus R1 369 m-boupakket) tot R2,98 m.

Die versorgingsentrum het 50 en-suite deeltitel-wooneenhede, toegerus met ’n kombuisie. Drie sorgpakkette is beskikbaar; basiese sorgpakkette vanaf slegs R7 500 p.m., hulpsorgpakkette vanaf R12 900 p.m. en verswaktesorgpakkette vanaf R16 500 p.m.

Pakkette sluit in verskeie dienste, onder meer primêre gesondheidsorgdienste, weeklikse skoonmaak- en wasserydienste, 30 driegangmaaltye, DStv-verbinding, interkomskakeling met die ingangshek vir die ontvang van besoekers, en 24/7-noodskakeling met verpleegsterdienskamer.

Die mediese dienste word deur Elsorg verskaf.

Andrew Greeff-argitekte het die ontwerp van die oord gedoen.

Greeff (links) het dr. Ivan Meyer, (minister van finansies, WesKaap) en Japie Gouws (besturende direkteur, ATKV-groep) op ’n besigtigingstoer deur die sorgsentrum geneem. Meyer het ’n pluimpie na die kant van die Overstrand munisipaliteit gegooi toe hy in sy toespraak verwys dat net indien ’n munisipaliteit etiese en visioenêre leierskap het, kan ontwikkeling soos dié kompleks, gebeur.

RAADSHEERSKAP: Tydens ’n spesiale raadsvergadering onlangs is Raadsheerskap aan die volgende kwalifiserende raadslede toegeken. Philip Appelgrein, uitvoerende burgemeester Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, Phillipus May en Makhaya Ponoane. Die titel Raadsheer gee erkenning vir volgehoue gemeenskapsdiens oor ‘n lang tydperk.

HAIR AFFAIR WINNER: Sandie Duncan (left) and Sandie Wurbach (right) from Hair Affair in the Village Square wanted to do something special and decided to give away a GHD hair straightener (to the value of R2 500) to one of their loyal customers. Clients who spent more than R400 in the month of November stood in line to win the prize and Ansa Carstens was announced as the winner. “We will be donating funds to the same value as the prize to the Sunflower Fund.

It is perfect that Ansa was the winner as we had all lost someone close to us to cancer,” said Duncan.

OUD­HERMIES KUIER SAAM: Hoërskool Hermanus het onlangs hul eerste oud-leerdersdinee by The Classroom-restaurant gehou, en hoop om dit ’n jaarlikse instelling te maak. Die doel van die funksie was om soveel moontlik oud-leerders bymekaar te kry en nuus van die skool te deel. Die funksie is deur Elsa Nel (regs), een van die skool se onderwysers, wat reeds 35 jaar daar skoolhou, gereël. Hier is sy saam met Jaco (klas van 1985) en Lorraine Fouche.

Adele Davidowitz (1988) en Owen Thorpe (1994) is twee oud-leerders wat by die funksie was. Carina van der Merwe van Hoërskool Hermanus sê hulle besef dat hul oud-skoliere die fondament is waarop die skool funksioneer en voortbou vir die toekoms. “Die leerders word ook verder geïnspireer deur die oudskoliere se suksesverhale. Die skool is ook in die proses om hul databasis op te dateer en sodoende oud-skoliere op hoogte te hou van nuus,” het sy gesê.

Oud-leerders kan vir Carina van der Merwe e-pos by 2 sport@hhadmin.co.za om hul besonderhede op te dateer.

Nog kliënte wat saam feesgevier het, is: (agter) Edlynn Prins, Julliane Bacon, Nita Mahlatsi, Bronwyn Poole, Mirchell Cloete (eienaar), Elizabeth Jaftha, Patty Fortuin, Shanay Matinka, Lucille Afrika en Bonita Wyngaard.

Kersmusiek en ­stories vir die hele gesin in ‘Kersklanke’ Overstrand Arts / Kunste (OAK) bied ’n spesiale feesprogram aan, getiteld Kersklanke.

Dié program, met Petru Wessels, Carel Trichardt and Katriek Holm, is op 21 Desember in die munisipale ouditorium om 15:30 op die planke.

Kersklanke belig met woord en klank die vreugdes, blydskap, opwinding en die wonder van Kersfees, maar ook die hartseer, verlange en eensaamheid.

Vir meer as 20 jaar het Petru en Carel Kerssto-

ries aan gehore in Pretoria en oral oor vertel.

Katrien, wat vir baie jare deel was van Kersklanke, kom spesiaal Hermanus toe om die nodige atmosfeer aan Kersklanke te gee, met haar klavier, viool en ander instrumente. ’n CD, Keur uit Kersklanke, met van die treffendste stories sal beskikbaar wees by die konsert. Kaartjies teen R120 en R60 vir studente kan bespreek word by Bellini-galery by 0 028 312 4988 of bel René du Plooy by 0 082 940 4238 vir verdere inligting.

DONATION: Feathers Bistro at the Hemelen-Aarde Village donated half of their highly successful 5 December bingo evening ticket sales to HAWS. Feathers was also the venue where volunteers from HAWS enjoyed their year-end tea function the day after, where owner Carolyn Flynn, handed the cheque over to HAWS committee member Sylvana Doran.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE ANIMALS: It is that time of year again when people can take their entire family to go and see the Merry Christmas house at 12 Krintang Crescent in Vermont – all for a good cause. People are invited to leave donations in the post box at the house, which will be donated to the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society.

HAWS volunteers at the function included Ria Hartman, Marie Lucas, Hettie Roux and Edna du Plessis. Marie and Edna (both 82) are two of the longest serving volunteers.

They’ve worked in the HAWS shop for the past 14 years.

BIRDLIFE OVERBERG DONATES TO DICT AND BLSA: A highlight at BirdLife Overberg’s yearend function on Saturday evening was the donation the club made to the Dyer Island Conservation Trust (DICT) and the Western Cape conservation division of BirdLife South Africa (BLSA).

Each of the beneficiaries received R30 000. The DICT donation will be in aid of the development of an African Penguin and Seabirds rehabilitation centre in Kleinbaai. The funds were raised through an internal club fundraising campaign.

by Flight Specials Hermanus and performed by singer, actor and entertainer Matt Stern, titled Hound Dog - a Tribute to the Life and Music of Elvis, was held on Friday 5 December at the Sandbaai Hall.

Although it wasn’t a fully packed hall, “Elvis” didn’t leave the building and most certainly didn’t fail to entertain both young and old.

The Giovannetti family opened the doors to their new Hermanus Don Gelato shop in Main Road to a selected few friends and family on Friday for a pre-tasting.

The only “invited” guest that didn’t pitch up to the party was Eskom. A power outage meant no lights, no music, and more importantly, no ice cream. “We cannot decant and display our ice creams!” said an excited but slightly frantic Corrado Giovannetti when guests started arriving. “I cannot serve you milkshakes!”

Fortunately, power was restored half an hour later, so the ice cream could be decanted and displayed, and guests were treated to mini scoops of the unique flavours of ice cream that Don Gelato’s is famed for. Favourite flavours among the lucky few who could indulge and try as many ice creams as they liked, included the Mojito –a traditional Cuban cocktail made from white rum, sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and mint. “It tastes 100% like the real thing,” was the general comment.

Other flavours scooped up were chilli chocolate; Stracciatella (vanilla ice cream with chocolate streaks); and the Italian flag tri-colour – a scoop each of tomato, Gruyère and a basil and mint combination.

All the ingredients used are fresh produce and locally sourced, like the Gruyère from Klein River and the mint from a farm 50 km outside Stanford.

This family-run business, run by Lionello, his girlfriend Elena Filippini and his parents Corrado and Grazia Giovannetti, started in Stanford, with their successful parlour attracting tourists and residents alike. With the shop now open in Hermanus, more people can enjoy a second or third helping, in the company of the charming Italian family. Their festive season flavours includes a Prosecco (Italian sparkling white wine) ice cream.

Berries, bees and boerewors What could be tastier than a ripe, juicy raspberry fresh from the cane or a darkhued blueberry picked from the bush?

Fifty Grade 1 learners from Hermanus Primary School had the chance to find this out when they recently spent a special morning at Haygrove Heaven farm in the Hemel-enAarde-Valley. After a short presentation by Sean Tager, managing director at Haygrove,

about the different types of berries and how they are grown; children, teachers and parents had the opportunity to pick (and eat!) their own raspberries, learn about the importance of bees and pollination, taste some honey and take a tractor ride around the farm.

Afterwards everyone enjoyedboerewors rolls, and much to the delight of the tiny tots, Father Christmas arrived on his red quad bike bearing gifts and ice cream.

21 Warning! Pretty alien on the loose HermanusTimes

Nuus News

11 December, 2014

The wall in Rocklands Road after the accident.

Hit and run by driving school leaves a sour taste ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN A resident of Rocklands Road was highly distressed after a learner driver crashed into his boundary wall, damaging around 12 metres of stone fence.

Klaus Gautier sent a letter to the driving school, stating that he had evidence that one of their vehicles had caused the damage, but they did not inform the Gautiers of the incident.

“In fact they have done the opposite, by making extensive efforts to clean up any evidence of their involvement. Only small fragments of the vehicle could be found.”

Gautier was not at home when the incident happened and was informed of it by ADT. He has since reported the accident

to the Hermanus police.

“It is totally unacceptable that a driving school training learners in this country, sets this type of behavioural standard,” said Gautier.

Because of the damaged wall, the lack of security led to four steel chairs being stolen from their garden.

Gautier visited the company’s head office where he spoke to the owner’s wife about the incident. He then received a voice message from the owner saying there was nothing they could do as the matter has been referred to their insurance company.

“Meanwhile, the wall has been fixed. My insurance company confirms that they are in contact with the driving school’s insurance company.”

The Hermanus public is warned to be on the lookout for a showy plant with yellow blooms now flowering in profusion in many parts of Hermanus, along the road to Stanford, up the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and especially from Lynx Road to Hawston.

According to the Hermanus Botanical Society and Hermanus Hacking Group the plant should be removed and destroyed, or it will dramatically invade fynbos areas.

The plant is of the daisy (Asteraceae) family, with the common name “ragwort” and scientific name Senecio pterophorus. In Afrikaans it is called the “perdegifbossie” (being poisonous to both vertebrate and invertebrate browsers).

The plant is tall, about 80 to 250 cm and flowers between November and March. It is native to the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal but naturalised along the Garden Route.

The yellow flower-heads have obvious “petals” (i.e. ray florets), usually enclosed in 18-22 bracts, and are borne in large spreading clusters. Numerous fluffy seeds are produced and are dispersed by wind.Seeds are formed from approximately mid-November and thereafter.

The Botanical Society and hacking group

The Senecio pterophorus, an invasive alien plant, that holds a serious threat to the local fynbos.

suggest that an aggressive approach be followed to get rid of this radically invasive alien.

It is not advised to snip off the flowers and leave them on the soil as a method of containing them, as the flowers go to seed, that is then dispersed in this way.

There has been intense debate about how to dispose of the Senecio pterophorus plants so as to eliminate the possibility of the seed spreading aggressively.

Frank Matthee, a member of the Hermanus Hacking Group, gathered the information, while from the municipal side Johan van Taak and Francois Pretorius, in collaboration with Lauren Rainbird of the municipal environmental department, described the how-to: ) Place plants for disposal in black refuse bags, as the heat generated in them will breakdown the plant material and kill the seeds. ) Do not dispose of this plant material in the usual garden refuse pile. Instead, drive the bags to the Transfer Station off Swartdam road, turn left and go to the kiosk. After the kiosk, turn right up a small hill. ) Drive into the shed and reverse to the cement troughs where the plants in black bags can be thrown. ) The bags will be buried at the Gansbaai landfill site, avoiding any chance of seeds germinating.

26 HermanusTimes Hawston See­fees lok duisende

Nuus News

11 December, 2014

ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Die jaarlikse Hawston See-fees die afgelope naweek was weereens ’n reusesukses met duisende besoekers van oral oor.

Volgens Darrel Pekeur, ’n lid van die organiseringskomitee en die seremoniemeester, is die fees op die gebruiklike manier geopen deur Vader Arrison van die Anglikaanse Kerk, wat gevolg is deur ’n toespraak deur die onderburgemeester, Rudolph Smith.

Die fees, wat jaarliks op die kampterrein by die Hawston-swembad plaasvind, lok mense van heinde en ver en sowat 30 busse het besoekers uit Kaapstad aangery. “Daar was, soos verlede jaar, tussen 4 000 en 5 000 mense.

“Daar was baie aktiwiteite vir oud en jonk, met waterspeletjies en glyplanke. ’n Coketrok het vermaak verskaf en verskeie kunstenaars, waaronder Molly van die Rocketsgroep, Stanton Meiring, die Bacarasj Band en Barrydale se jazz-groep, Net vir Pret.

Stanford se trompoppies het ook opgetree en ’n groep rieldansers. “Die rieldansers het groot aftrek gekry. Soveel so, dat mene my genader het om meer inligting oor hulle te kry.

“Daar was ook kos om van te kies en te keur, veral seekos, maar ook ander disse soos tradisionele roosterkoeke en ingelegde vis.”

Volgens Pekeur het hulle vanjaar probeer

om groter name te kry om op te tree as trekpleister en dit was ’n groot sukses.

“Daar was vanjaar geen onsmaaklikhede nie en alles het baie glad verloop. Almal was ook gereed vir die kragonderbrekings, so dit het geen impak op die dag gehad nie.

“Al die stalletjiehouers het ook baie goed gedoen. Ons doen juis die fees vir die inwoners om bietjie geld te kan maak.”

Volgens Pekeur is daar egter altyd kwessies met finansiering van so ’n fees. “Dis duur en ons sal enige ondersteuning uit die gemeenskap uiters waardeer. Ons is egter baie dankbaar vir dit wat ons kry.”

Die beplanningskomitee bestaan uit verskillende lede uit die Hawston-gemeenskap.

Hulle is Franklin Benjamin, die voorsitter, die Anglikaanse predikant Vader Franklin Davids is die voog, die ondervoorsitter is Augusta Marshall, die sekretaris Angela du Plessis, ondersekretaris Godfrey Matinka, die kassier Irvin Okkers, en die hulpkassier is Darrel Pekeur.

Die addisonele lede is Noelleen Swartz, Gladys Gillion, en hul raadslid Mercia Andrews.

Ter herinnering aan die verdrinkings verlede jaar tydens die fees, is daar Sondag om 08:00 ’n gedenkdiens op Hawston se strand gehou.

Dit is gevolg deur ’n dankseggingsdiens om 09:00 op die kampterrein.

Volgende jaar se See-fees is op 5 Desember.

FREE PARKING: A resident in Mitchell Street, Eastcliff says their quiet little road has become an extra car park for those unwilling to pay the due parking fees, all of 10 metres away. “While Checkers offers two hours of free parking, there are those who prefer to cause a nuisance by blocking entrances to houses. Some of these are those working at shops, businesses and restaurants locally. I propose that the Overstrand Municipality extend the parking bays and employ wardens to collect fees in Mitchell Street.

Daar was lekker musiek en vermaak, en hope seekos te koop by die Hawston See-fees.

30 HermanusTimes Bederf­ontbyt vir Huis Lettie­inwoners

Geklassifiseerd Classifieds

11 December, 2014

JAN­HENDRIK COETZER ’n Groep van sowat 35 inwoners van Huis Lettie Theron is onlangs deur ’n plaaslike sakeman uitgeneem vir ’n bederf-ontbyt by die Hermanus Gholfklub.

Johan Visser van Voëlklip is ’n afgetrede sakeman, hoewel hy nog heelwat sakebelange hier in Hermanus, sowel as in Skotland, het.

“Ek bly so tussen die twee lande nou al vir die afgelope 22 jaar. Afgesien van sakebelange wat ek daar het, woon en werk albei my kinders ook daar. So dis vir my lekker om ses maande van die jaar daar te wees.

“Dis in Skotland wat ek besef het wat omgee, liefdadigheid en veral geldinsamelings regtig beteken. Ek dink in Suid-Afrika is daar ’n geweldige leemte wat dit aanbetref. ’n Ou kan maklik vir hom ’n erf van R9 m gaan koop,

maar hy kan nie ’n paar duisend rand opsysit om sommer net uit die goedheid van sy hart ’n verskil in ander se lewe te maak nie. Ek het ’n sagte plek vir oumense en ek doen hierdie bloot omdat dit vir my lekker is om die glimlagte op hul gesigte te sien.”

Visser noem hy is ook die enigste Suid-Afrikaner, wat nie Skotse burgerskap het nie, wat vanjaar genomineer is vir Skotland se jaarlikse “Big Hearted Scotsman”-toekenning wat aangebied word deur die News of the World, ’n koerant in Glasgow.

By die ontbyt het almal ook ’n spesiale geskenkpakkie ontvang.

“Ek wil graag vir Fransien Koegelenberg van Hermanus Factory Shop bedank wat die geskenkpakkies so mooi opgemaak het.

“En aan Hermanus Hoërskool wil ek ook dankie sê dat hulle bereid was om hul skoolbus

BALLERINA IN DUIMELIENA: Lisa Schuurman van die Andriëtte Roux School of Dance is onlangs gekies om in die Kaapse balletopvoering ter herdenking van die 80ste bestaansjaar van die Cape Town City Ballet se produksie Thumbelina op te tree. Sy is na afloop van ’n oudisie by die Universiteit van Kaapstad se balletskool gekies om een van die ses ys-feëtjies te wees. Die ballet is saamgestel deur Robyn van Wyk en die Kaapse Jeugballet, sowel as ander verkose dansers van Kaapstad-omgewing, het saam met die Cape Town City Ballet in die produksie opgetree. Lisa en haar mededansers van die Andriette Roux School of Dance is vanaand (11 Desember) te sien in ’n produksie, Incredible in Hermanus Hoërskool se skoolsaal om 19:00. Kaartjies na die vertoning kos R55 en is beskikbaar by die deur.

SANTA BRINGS SMILES TO CAMPHILL: A group of learners from Hermanus High School collected over 60 Santa Shoeboxes to hand out to the learners of Camphill School.

As their wish lists contained special items, the list was handled by Hermanus High School learners (from Interact and the junior town council) who helped hand out the gifts. Each child received a Santa Shoebox filled with goodies.

HERMIES HOOFSEUN PRESTEER: Jaco Abel, Hoërskool Hermanus se hoofseun en die verteenwoordigende raad van leerders (VRL) se voorsitter, is vir Die Burger Jeugleierskonferensie gekies. Dié groep van 50 leerders kom uit skole van oor die Noord-, Suid- en Wes-Kaap en sal van 12 tot 18 Desember by Die Burger strandhuis in Muizenberg tuisgaan. Die tema vir die konferensie is: Leierskap in die tegnologiese eeu.

Dorothy du Preez bedank Johan Visser namens Huis Lettie Theron vir die welwillende gebaar.

beskikbaar te stel om almal by die gholfklub te kry.”

Visser vertel grappenderwys hoekom hy so mededeelsaam is. “Ag jong, ek is mos nou single, so ek kuier maar vanoggend heerlik saam met hierdie klomp mooi vrouens. Ek maak eintlik net stock bymekaar. Nee, op ’n ernstige

noot, die Here was baie goed vir my in my lewe, en nou het ek die geleentheid om vir ander goed te wees. En hierdeur hoop ek ander kan ook die voorbeeld volg.”

Visser het ’n paar jaar gelede ook ’n groep na die Harbour Rock restaurant geneem vir ’n bederf-ete.

Northcliff wins prizes with Techno­Boffin project At the beginning of 2014, Estelle Goosen, a computer applied technology (CAT) curriculum advisor, started a project called Techno-Boffin.

The project involved all CAT learners in the Overberg area.

NATURE MATTERS: Did you know... The Cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica) is found in the South-Western Cape, often seen burrowing just below the ground, giving them the common name of “kruipmolletjie”. Golden moles are not related to mole-rats and are much smaller. Golden moles have small pointed teeth, typical of insectivores and eat soft-bodied insects like grubs, which can often be garden pests and are most abundant in the roots and stems of plants just below the soil surface. They also aerate the soil and allow water and nutrients to move through it. A gardener’s friend!

Hermanus women finish top of their tennis leagues Brian Irvine van Groenberg (Sandbaai) moes, soos so baie ander jukskeispelers, Saterdag alles uithaal teen die wind om by die penne uit te kom.

Die wenspan by verlede Saterdag se ope-kompetisie in Sandbaai was Jaco Botes, Poppie, Johan en Paul Marais. Al vier is provinsiale spelers en was net te sterk en te ervare vir die aanslag wat veral van Worcester en Gansbaai gekom het.

Groenberg gooi trofee los Altesaam 20 jukskeispanne van oor die hele Overberg-distrik het verlede Saterdag in Sandbaai meegeding om die klub wisseltrofee en verskeie ander pryse in ’n ope-kompetisie.

Spanne van so ver as Kraaifontein en Worcester het ook opgedaag om aan die gesellige kompetisie deel te neem.

In die A-afdeling was die kompetisie straf, maar die Groenberg-span

HERMANUS SE ROL­ BALSPELERS TOPS: Vier van Hermanus se rolbalspelers het hul vernuf bewys in die finale drie rondes van 15 koppe elk in die Boland Senior Vroueviere se jaarlikse toernooi in Worcester. In die eerste ronde het die span met goeie spel die oorhand gekry. In die volgende twee rondes het hulle die algehele oorwinning met ’n finale telling van 6 punte, plus 28 skote behaal. Die span is Tish Brice (skip), Elsie McGeoch, Amanda Meyer en Sonja Kruger.

van Sandbaai met Jaco Botes, Poppie, Johan en Paul Marais was onstuitbaar en het die A-afdeling gewen.

Kleinmond se B-span het weereens bewys hy is die krag in dié afdeling en sal vanjaar moeilik geklop word. Die nuwelinge uit Bredasdorp, Eddie Adams, Yolanda Henry, Daniel Heunis en Esra Swarts het goed gevaar in die C-afdeling.

Willie Marais, voorsitter van Overberg Distrik, het die geleent-

heid as ’n besondere groot sukses vir jukskei in hierdie streek bestempel en daar is kennis geneem van die groei wat die sport tans landwyd onder alle bevolkingsgroepe ondervind.

Eerskomende Saterdag word die seisoen tydelik afgesluit met ’n opekompetisie op Gansbaai.

Three teams from the Hermanus Tennis Club took part in the South Boland league that takes place from September until late November.

The first women’s team won the Albert van Reenen league (second division, with a pool of eight teams).

The team consisted of Maretha Sauer (played four matches), Yolande Hansen (4), Carien Gooding (3), Danny Grib (4), Nicolene van der Merwe (2), Amore Hansen (2), Jeanne Vercuiel (1), Barbara Stocks (1), Louise Coetzee (1) and Kerry Tindall (1).

The team won five out of seven ties, narrowly losing in the other two, both ending in a close score of 3-2.

The margins would have been even bigger as there were four bonus points up for grabs when winning a tie.

The second women’s team were also victorious in the Connie Roux Wednesday morning league.

The team won all their matches, losing only one set along the

way, to finish first in the league, winning 32 sets.

Unfortunately, their main rivals withdrew before the league started and there were only three teams left in the competition.

The team included Lyn Bouchier (two matches), Betty Moore (3), Douwien Kleinloog (3), Barbara Stocks (3), Louise Coetzee (3) and Kerry Tindall (1).

The Hermanus men’s team finished fourth out of eight teams in the fourth division with 61 points, behind the winners Bottelary (75), Rekreasie (73) and Wellington (66).

The men played very well winning four out of seven ties also narrowly losing the others (3-2 in matches on every occasion).

Henk Olivier, Stephen Hansen, Carl de Clercq, Francois Barnard, Shaun Smith, Rudo Erasmus, Rusty Clement, Nardo Theron, Morne Potgieter, David Saunders, John Cowan and Dave Shreeve represented Hermanus in the league.

Een uit die drie plaaslike rolbalspanne wat onlangs deelgeneem het aan ’n ope-eendag toernooi te Caledon het deurgedring as die wenners ná drie koppe van 15 rondes elk. Die spanne van verskeie klubs het mekaar goed opgekeil en dit was nie elkeen wat die druk kon verwerk nie.

Dié span is Ristoff (skip) en Evelyn van Wyk, Mike Hutton en Brian Higgo het die Gawie Delport-skild gewen wat vir die volgende 12 maande in die Hermanus kas sal pruik.
