Sekuriteits maatskappy trek ‘skaap -slagter’ vas REITZ: Veeboere van die Reitz omgewing wil graag ‘n reuse pluimpie gee aan die manne van ‘Bassopa Security & Tracking’. Laasweek Sondag 27 Februarie omsteeks 07:00 die oggend, het die wagte wat patrollie gedoen het ‘n veedief op heterdaad betrap waar hy besig was om ‘n groot getal skape te slag wat hy vermoedelik net kort voor dit gesteel het. Die verdagte is aangehou en die plaaslike SAPD is ontbied en het die verdagte op grond van diefstal gearresteer. Op die oog af blyk dit of die man nie alleen verantwoordelik was vir hierdié gruwel-daad nie en die
polisie ondersoek die saak, om vas te stel wie nog saam die man gewerk het. Hulle vermoed dat die skape deur die nag gesteel is en toe die oggend begin slag is. Een van die sekuriteitswagte sê: “Die toneel was wreed en gruwelik. Hy het net daar reg langs Reitz-Bethlehem pad die skape sommer net begin slag!” Die boer is gekontak om van die oorskot ontslae te raak. Daar is nie inligting oor hoeveel skape in die slag gebly het nie en of die verdagte reeds in die hof verskyn het nie. Enige iemand wat veediefstal wil rapporteer kan hulle naaste polisie kantoor skakel.

Meester
Deur Danie Cronje
Waar is jy? “Waar is jy?” (Gen. 3:9) Dis die heel eerste vraag wat die Here vra. Die Here soek na Adam en Eva, nie omdat Hy nie weet waar hulle is nie, maar omdat Hy weet dat hulle vir Hom wegkruip en Hom vermy en Hom eintlik nodig het om hulle te help. As die Here vandag vir jou vra: Waar is jy? Waar gaan Hy jou kry? Êrens op jou eie pad? Alleen en verlate? Op plekke waar jy nie veronderstel is om te wees nie, waar niemand anders mag weet waar jy is nie? Besig met verkeerde dinge? Of gaan Hy jou vind besig om jou medemens te help, soos die barmhartige Samaritaan, of besig met jou eerlike dagtaak soos die vissermanne langs die See van Galilea, besig om jou gesin te versorg soos Marta, besig om Sy Woord en liefde te deel soos Petrus? Of gaan Hy jou dalk vind langs die sterfbed van ’n geliefde, soos Lasarus se familie, of op jou siekbed in afwagting vir ’n wonderwerk, soos die man by die bad van Bethesda, of uitgewerp soos die besetene in Kapernaum? Of gaan Hy jou dalk op jou knieë vind waar jy jou hand uitsteek om aan die soom van sy kleed te raak of in ’n skare gereed sit om te luister na sy leringe? Weet vir seker dat daar nie ’n plek is waar die Here jou nie kan raaksien nie. Jy kan nie vir die Here wegkruip nie. Hy sal jou altyd weer kom soek en kom haal en kom help. Hy sal 99 skape los om jou te kom roep: waar is jy? Ons is dalk verlore, verdwaal en skaam soos Adam en Eva oor dit wat ons aangevang het, maar hoor vanaand dat die Here na jou kom soek en vra: My kind, waar is jy? “Waarheen sou ek vlug om aan u teenwoordigheid te ontkom? Klim ek op na die hemel, is U daar, gaan lê ek in die doderyk, is U ook daar. Vlieg ek na die ooste, of gaan woon ek in die verre weste, ook daar lei U hand my, hou u regterhand my vas.” (Ps. 139:7-10) ~ Wilna Botha

ALERT! Rabies on the rise!
Heidi die Pekingese en Fluffy die Toypom behoort aan Gwen Germishuizen van Riebeeckstad
There have been 33 confirmed cases of rabies in animals since the beginning of the year, according to the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. The department also reported that a 10-year-old boy from KwaZulu-Natal died from the virus. Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects all mammals, and is transmissible from animals to humans. The virus is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals through licks, scratches and bites. Rabies occurs in domestic and wild animals across South Africa. People are encouraged not to touch or pick up unknown or stray animals, especially dogs and cats. South African law requires pet owners to vaccinate their cats and dogs against Rabies at 12 weeks, as well as a booster before 12 months. Thereafter, they should receive doses yearly or every third year depending on the specific vaccine manufacturer.
Focus on Macarons
Grace Stevens: 5 Fantastic Fixes for Macaron Fails Macarons have had a meteoric rise to the top of the confectionery hierarchy recently with speciality shops bringing out every flavour from raspberry to rose, cotton candy to champagne crème. Sandwiched between two delicate shells the variety of buttercreams, fruit curds, preserves, and ganache’s is only limited by your imagination. The problem is that as with most unfamiliar fine French pastries, theses little dollops of heaven can be hellishly intimidating to make for the beginner baker. Grace Stevens, TV chef, cookbook author and confectionery extraordinaire shares her top 5 fantastic fixes to achieve a perfectly formed Macaron: Why Don’t my Macarons Have Feet? Getting that signature, even rise around the Macaron cookie is all down to how long you let your mixture rest. Much like the French themselves, French pastries takes finesse to get right, and trying to rush through them is futile. A well-rested Macaron will have developed a rubbery ‘skin’ that you can gently touch, and it will hold its shape. Depending on the weather this could take between 30 – 60 minutes.
Why are my Macarons Flat? First, says Grace, don’t panic. Your mixture is probably overmixed and a little thin. On your next attempt, when you are making your macaronage - gently fold less meringue to your almond mixture. To test that you have the right consistency, lift the batter on a spoon, if it flows off the spoon in a shiny, continuous ribbon the structure of your Macaron shell, in the end, should be perfect. Why are my Macarons so sticky? Nothing says the opposite of sophistication and elegance like sticky fingers. If your Macarons are still sticky, they are likely under baked. One secret to getting them delicate and dry is to leave them for a little longer in the oven at 110 C so that all the moisture escapes. Why are my Macarons Hollow? It is an intensely disappointing feeling to bite into your creation only for there to be nothing but empty space inside. Hollowness is governed in part by the heat of your oven. If your oven is too hot, the meringue will not set correctly. To avoid this, be sure to bake your Macarons for 10 minutes at 130C and then drop your temperature to 110C.
Oh No, My Macarons are Cracked! If your Macarons have cracked, chances are because your oven is too hot. Simply use a lower oven temperature of 130C and you should avoid any cavernous catastrophes. Grace also advises that by using an oven thermometer check that your oven is giving a true reading of the temperature and is not running hot. After making hundreds of Macarons, in countless flavours, Grace says that she has a particular and persistent fondness for granadilla flavoured Macarons using fresh granadillas from the vine in her garden. She says that she loves Macarons not only for their delicious taste but because of the reaction of awe and delight that sweeps through the room when she serves these undeniably ‘classy’ cookies. Macarons are the perfect morsels to spoil your loved ones with, just be sure to pack them carefully and tightly if you plan to travel to avoid your delicate work being demolished before they can be devoured.

Wheels:
The pumped up version of the A-Class is here and Alex Shahini gets to grips with the new GLA 200. A few decades ago the majority of passenger vehicles that filled the streets and transported families were sedans. Towards the end of the century, hatchbacks had asserted themselves as worthy adversaries and continued to increase in popularity in the ensuing years. Could it be that the compact SUV is under the same trajectory, one that will overthrow the beloved hatchback? Since the automotive world is constantly evolving, brands of all sizes conduct extensive market research to ensure they have the upper hand in new vehicle development. Things are no different with compact SUVs. They have become such a popular trend that consumers and brands have put their full focus into its development! Now, this is where the new Mercedes-Benz GLA comes into the picture, it fills the niche for young buyers that desire compact SUV characteristics while retaining the no compromise comfort and style synonymous with the brand. Our test car, the GLA 200 AMG Line delivered on both accounts, with exterior styling imparting a more aggressive look than its predecessor and a sufficiently comfortable ride, even on 20” AMG Multi Spoke alloys. While the GLA is 100mm taller and slightly wider than its previous model, it is one of the most compact in its range, – in fact it is 15mm shorter than the previous generation and measuring in smaller than the chief rivals Audi Q3 and BMW X1. This makes it easily manoeuvrable and devoid of the cumbersome reputation SUVs have garnered. The dipped front bonnet made gauging tight surroundings quite difficult but credit can be given to the intuitive Mercedes Active Parking Assist with front and rear mounted cameras that provide extra confidence – albeit the sensor alarms were very enthusiastic near kerbs and parking

garages. Consider this a more practical, spacious and consumer appeasing A class – it still feels very composed and planted around sharp corners and bends, although its inherently higher ground clearance does compromise it somewhat. Additionally, the elevated 140mm seating position from its sibling makes for comfortable driving and provides good vision of the surroundings. The A-pillars are not overtly bulky and do not hamper vision between the front windscreen and side windows – overall visibility from the driver’s seat is therefore good. Sitting slightly higher than most other vehicles on the road will generally instil an air of superiority to whoever is behind the wheel, but that is likely where its additional height advantage ends. Most non 4Matic front-wheel-drive GLA’s are unlikely to opt for the trail-less-travelled, which is a good thing since venturing into uneven terrain resulted in parking sensors frequently dispatching warning sounds and an uneasy ride (perhaps the risk of damaging those 20” rims only made this worse). While the local Mercedes-Benz GLA configurator only includes the two engine variants counting the 2.0 turbo diesel in the GLA 200d, our GLA 200 had the alternative, punchy 1.3-litre turbo four cylinder engine with 120kW. While the motor is well suited to lumbering around at low RPM and cruising on open roads, more spirited bursts of driving presented an annoying engine whine on deceleration which was exacerbated when the windows were open. Engine sound is as expected in a family orientated vehicle: numb, although there was a significant audible difference once the Sport mode was engaged. While the smoother, newer 8 speed gearbox of the local range is limited to the GLA 200 d, the only choice in our car was the 7 speed dual-clutchtransmission (DCT). While it felt less evolved and more hesitant in grabbing a gear than the
Advertise your wheels on this page! Wheels get’s published in 40 newspapers. Call 073 847 2468
8 speed DCT in its diesel partner, it is still well suited for use as a comfortable runabout and highway cruiser. With engine rpm well below 2500 at 120km/h it provides good efficiency too, the combined figure for both urban and open road driving while under our care was about 7l/100km – disclaimer: spirited driving was top of the agenda and economy mode was only engaged once. As mentioned earlier, the interior is comfortable and spacious. The double screen layout provides a sensibly laid out display for the driver and central infotainment system while space-age inspired air vents take the focal point just below. The customisable displays and interior LED lighting allow for personalisation, while the central infotainment system has the ability to learn the drivers preference over time. The user interface is well integrated, but certain applications can be clunky to retrieve and process information like fuel economy and driving analytics. But the tactility of the central trackpad and drivers buttons can forgive some of the niggles. It was noted by other members of the team that material quality and overall fit and finish has taken a big step up from its hatchback sibling. Space is abundant for both the driver and any passengers in the GLA, with sufficient leg and head room for normal sized adults in the rear. However, cargo space is where it falls short, even with 2 adjustable boot floor heights, the GLA has one of the least volumetric boot capacities in the segment at 435l. The GLA 200 is therefore a well balanced vehicle that is dressed up as an SUV. It is an option that will make valid sense to the consumer that is looking to satisfy as many driving and lifestyle needs as possible, while still retaining a three-pointed star on its grille. With a base price starting at R679 040, it is the most expensive of the lot too. Although it comes with a list of standard equipment, speccing options such as larger diameter rims and interior comforts could send the price closer to the R800 000 mark.
