Die skoolhoof, mev. Cibella van Geems, verdien alle lof vir hierdie “stunning” projek. Dit was, soos die skoolhoof voorspel het, “a stunning event”. Juffrou Cibella, voorheen van Napier, het hierdie geleentheid met NAD benut tot voordeel van De Heide Primêr en die Bredasdorp gemeenskap. Die res van die skool se personeel het ook ‘n reuse aandeel aan die sukses van die konsert gehad. Tydens haar toespraak het Lindsay Moncrief (sien foto) gesê, “We usually do concerts with 40 children in them. This year for the first time we have 380 children in this concert tonight. It was a big undertaking. All children have imagination, they all have it BUT we’re living in a world with technology social media - they can download 2

"Mag hierdie boompie se wortels net so diep en sterk groei soos die diep wortels wat meneer die afgelope 25 jaar by ons skool gevestig het. Mag die stam en take ’n simbool wees van die waardes, liefde, omgee, en voorbeeld wat meneer vir ons almal is. Hierdie plek doop ons "Edwards Little Ark" en ons dra dit op aan ons meneer Edward Fritz. Meneer het altyd in hierdie area geboer met bokke, hoenders, makoue en al wat ’n dier is. Ons gaan daarmee voortgaan, en so sal meneer altyd deel bly van ons skool." Met hiérdie pragtige woorde het die leerders van Laerskool Buffeljagsriver afskeid geneem van mnr. Edward Fritz. Na 25 jaar as skoolhoof, het hy besluit om af te tree. Foto’s: Laerskool Buffeljagsriver/FB 4

Kombuiskuier

Stewige ontbyt Bestanddele: 6 eiers 1 koppie gekapte spinasie ½ koppie gekapte pietersielie 2 groot rooi soetrissies, in wiggies gesny 1 koppie gekapte persui 6 gekapte knoffeltoontjies 1 groot avokado, in dun snye 2 blikkies gekapte tamatie 1 koppie gekrummelde fetakaas 6 eetlepels olyfolie ½ teelepel rooipeper 1 teelepel gerookte paprika 1 teelepel komynpoeier growwesout en swartpeper

Turksvykonfyt

Metode:

Verhit olyfolie in platboomskottel. Voeg die gekapte ui, soetrissie, knoffel, growwesout en swartpeper by, en braai die uie tot sag. Verlaag die hitte en voeg die paprika, komyn en rooipeper by. Roer goed.

1 kg turksvye 1 liter water 750 g suiker sap en skil van 1 suurlemoen 2 steranys

Voeg die tamaties by, en prut vir sowat 15 minute tot die sous stewig en geurig is. Voeg die gekapte spinasie by Metode: en roer stadig in. Maak ses nessies in die sous – een vir elke eier – en breek die eiers versigtig in sy nessie in. Skil die turksvye. Laat dit staan tot dit winddroog is. Dit is belangrik. Plaas die deksel op en prut vir so 3 minute.

Haal die pan van die stoof af. (Onthou die eiers kook steeds verder in warm sous) Sprinkel die pietersielie en feta bo-oor, en plaas avokadoskywe tussen in. Bedien met ‘n dik sny vars brood (ciabata) met ‘n harde kors.

Meng die water, suiker, steranys en suurlemoensap sap saam. Verhit dit stadig in ‘n kastrol tot al die suiker gesmelt is. Roer gereeld om seker te maak dat die suiker gesmelt is. Kook die mengsel vir 20 tot 30 minute oor hoë hitte om ‘n stroop te vorm. Voeg die turksvye en suurlemoenskil stadig by die kokende stroopmengsel tot hulle deurskynend gekook is. Moenie te veel roer en lol met die turksvye nie, want jy wil nie hê dit moet breek nie. Roer stadig en versigtig. Sorg dat al die turksvye kans kry om goed in die stroop te swem. Bottel dadelik in gesteriliseerde flesse. Resepte & foto’s” RSG Resepte

Amongst all the negative things happening in and around Bredasdorp, I was surprised in my office on this Wednesday morning by this young man, Chadley Josias. Die jongman is ‘n inwoner van Bredasdorp, wat huidiglik sy beroep en studies in die Vrystaat beoefen. Hy is sy tweede jaar op universiteit en speel sy rugby vir die Shimlas en ook die provinsiale rugbyspan, die Cheetahs. Ons wil hom geluk en voorspoed toewens met sy rugbyloopbaan en hoop om hom binnekort in die Springbokspan te sien. He visited me to hand over one of his rugby jerseys to say thank you to Cape Agulhas Municipality for the sponsorships that we have provided over the years to him, so that his talent could be recognized by rugby scouts.

FOREVER LOST TO THEFT Continued from page 12 (#5) A ringlet of gold wire woven around a large amethyst set in gold (Donation No.7); (#6) A round gold snake earring hinged near the tail (Donation No.2b); (#7) The gold letter opener in the form of a sword (Donation No.14). DISRESPECT FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE It is clear that human values have changed over the last number of years, leaving us with, what appears to be, an ever declining regard for and appreciation of our cultural past. A recent example of this is the deplorable action of ISIS of destroying artefacts from the Assyrian Empire dating back to well over 2,000 years. The Overberg was not spared from such distasteful decline of respect towards our own priceless and irreplaceable symbols of the past. An example of the desecration of one of the Overberg’s many stunning "open-air museums" took place in 2010.

According to Interpol, museums and places of worship are usually of the most common targets. They went on to stress that these criminals spare no category of artefacts. Interpol did, however, go on to mention that, "archaeological pieces, antiquarian books, antique furniture, coins, weapons and firearms or ancient gold and silverware" appeared to top the list. As always, the museum bounced back from the setback by creating an equally impressive display. Along with the gold sword handle, gold snake earring and gold woven looking chain as a remembrance of the display that enchanted so many over the 30 odd years, another nine artefacts were added (see photo titled 'NEW DISPLAY').

For hundreds of years, a number of ancient anchors had been laying approximately 200m from shore off Northumberland Reef. Although 'well hidden by nature' for most of each month, all were nonetheless left totally exposed and high and dry once every two weeks during spring-low-tide at about 09h00. These durable artefacts stood the test of time and remained lying there undisturbed for hundreds of years. Over this period of survival, these artefacts must have been 'visited' by many a fisherman, combing Northumberland Point during the spring- low periods, in search of bait or the odd octopus. During the latter years, the author and others also frequently visited this, "open air museum" in the same manner as one would visit the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum. It had become a prominent part of the Maritime Cultural Heritage of the Overberg. On February 2010, and to the shock, dismay and horror of the conservation- minded people living in that area, – Mr I. Bruwer to mention but one – word got out that some iron and brass salvage individuals intended to visit the area at spring-low-tide with the purpose of cutting up and removing all possible iron objects lying below the high water mark. Although the authorities were warned and protection was requested, the day nevertheless came. On the 8th of February 2010, with 'SAHRA protection' and all, this Maritime Cultural Heritage Resource was 'cleaned out' and another of our open-air museums was no more. This form of plunder unbelievably also struck the museum not many years after. During the timeframe, January 6th and January 21st, 2014, thieves targeted the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum's Arniston gold display. Tragically, they were able to walk off with almost the total gold exhibit, leaving only #3, #6 and the sword handle (#7). OVERdeBERG

The History of the Overberg... above& below the waves FOREVER LOST TO THEFT Through collection, documentation, conservation, research and education programmes, museums ensure that they are dynamic and accountable public institutions, which shape and manifest the consciousness, identities and understanding of communities and individuals in relation to their natural, historical and cultural environments. The 1982 Arniston project provided the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum with such a unique collection – a first for a South African museum. In those years, conservation know-how and facilities were very limited in South Africa and thus as already stated, it was decided to leave the main features of the wreck undisturbed on the seabed and to remove only those artefacts that needed little or no conservation. In this way, the minimum would be lost. Of the 733 groups of artefacts recovered, most were kept together as a collection and donated to the Shipwreck Museum. However, not all items were donated. In a letter written in 2001, Professor Andrew Smith mentioned that Tubby Gericke, the leader of the expedition, recouped some of the cost by selling off a few of the more intrinsically valuable pieces. The collection was a composite one. Collectively, it covered all the ship fittings; stone, ceramics and glass; weapons; personal items; jewellery and miscellaneous artefacts. To become the custodian of such a complete collection was a massive responsibility to say the least. Bravely, the museum gladly accepted. Over the now almost 30 years, the museum has kept a dynamic and regular changing Arniston display. Apart from the sample selection of artefacts on show – as over 700 items would always be too many to display at once – being altered regularly, the layout has also changed a number of times. It started as a multi- level-box showcase and is presently a sand-and-rock-surface display. Over the years, the exhibit area has also moved location in the shipwreck hall. It was first located at the most south-eastern corner and is presently exhibited on the other side of the hall – north-eastern corner. The reason for its present location being that the artefact showcase has now joined the Arniston monument exhibition. For many years the museum’s pride and joy was its Arniston gold exhibit (titled OLD DISPLAY on photo). 12

ARNISTON GOLD ON EXHIBITION

It consisted of: (#1) Gold half bracelet decorated with flower and leaf pattern (Donation No.1); (#2) A round gold flower and leaf pattern decorated earring for pierced ears. It in an excellent condition and matches well with the bracelet mentioned above (Donation No.2a); (#3) A 14cm gold chain, which has a woven look (Donation No.3b); (#4) Gold bracelet boasting round blood garnets set in gold, each joined by one gold link. There are six pieces to the bracelet, four stones still in settings and two empty (Donation No.6); Continued on page 11 OVERdeBERG
