THE recent spate of seri-ous accidents onUmhlangaRocksDrive -

some fatal - has prompted thecirculation of a petition in or-der to get action from eThek-wini Municipality.

As many as 20 accidentshave been noted in the area inthe past seven years.

Heinz de Boer - councillorforward35,andspearheadingthepetition - toldFever that hesentaletter“somethreeweeksago” to the City Manager re-questing that speed-calmingmeasuresbeintroducedontheroad.

The area in question is “thesection of road between Sun-ningdale (Village Way) andSomerset Park (KeynshamDrive). Recent yearshave seenseveral deaths andmany acci-dents being recorded on thisstretch, with many takingplace on the bend just afterUt-shaniClose intersection (goingnorth),” De Boer said.

The councillor recently heldan on-site inspection onUmhlanga Rocks Drive be-tween concerned stakehold-ers.

“I met with members of thebodycorporatesofthethreede-velopments off Utshani Close,an engineer from eThekwiniTransport Authority (ETA) andother concerned residents todiscusspossiblesolutionstotheissue.

“Speed traps need to beplaced on Umhlanga RocksDriveaswellasotherslikeArm-strong Avenue, Addison Drive,Kensington Drive and WilliamCampbell Avenue,” De Boersaid.

“There have been far toomany fatalities and serious ac-cidents on these suburbanroads.

“We want an engineeringsolutiontotheproblemandwillnot settle for less. UmhlangaRocks Drive needs to be nar-rowed as this type of measuredoes cause motorists to de-crease speed. Traffic lights

and/orspeedhumpsneed tobeinstalled as well.”

Councillor De Boer addedthat “MetroPolicealsoneeds tocome to the party. More road-blocksandboozebusesneed tobe in place on weekends. Theyhavebeencompletelyremiss inenforcing the rules of the roadadequately.”

DeBoer said that hehas “al-ready written to the City Man-ager to ask for an investigationand audit into the speed timingunit, with the aim of gettingsome action from Metro.

“Law enforcement needs toplace speed cameras onUmhlanga Rocks Drive as wellas Addison, Armstrong andNewport Avenues.”

De Boer has now drawn upa petition - asking for moremoney for speed humps andimproved speed-calmingmeasures on these roads - spe-cifically Umhlanga RocksDrive.

WHENmostpeoplethinkoftheword“nutrients” they usually think interms of proteins, fats, sugars, vita-mins – but not water. In fact, wateris themostessentialnutrient.Anan-imalcansurviveweekswithoutfood,but only days without water.

Elderly or sick animals may not

even survive a day or two withoutwater – it can certainly precipitate amajor crisis (for example, cats withkidney disease can NEVER be with-outwater, oranimalsonheartmedi-cation).

Water has NO calories and doesnot supply energy – so “putting ananimal ondrip” doesNOTequal cal-ories–soaproperlyhydratedanimal

can still “starve” and lose muscle(and organ) mass. Many vets put vi-tamins into drips – it is debatablewhether this is of any value, exceptintherarecaseof(documented)vita-min deficiencies. But drips are amatter for a later article.

Water is necessary for digestion,to support circulation, toxin andnu-trient metabolism and excretion,

andforimmunity(drymucousmem-branes are easier portals for patho-gen entry).

All pets should have their waterbowls cleaned and refilled at leastdaily. A cat on kibbles needs about200-250mlwaterperday,andadogabout 50 – 100 ml/kg/day (i.e. 2 – 5L for a great Dane). Steel bowls aremore hygienic.

Umdloti’s lifeguard tower to be demolishedDEBI BLAKE

THE neglected lifeguard towerand ablution facilities in Umdlotiare to be demolished.

The executive committee ofeThekwini Municipality recom-

mended - in ameeting on 21Octo-ber - that thedemolitiontakeplaceandasumofR300000besetasidefor the demolition and rubble re-moval.

The matter has been set downontheCouncilAgenda for30Octo-

ber for the full council to ratify theExco’s recommendations.

The building has been deterio-rating for months now drawingpublic outcry from the Umdloticommunity.

There was alarm that looseglass and aluminium windowframes on the top floor would in-jure passersby if they fell to theground.

The recent gale-force windshas exacerbated the situation.

Councillor Geoff Pullan agreedwith the community saying, “Thebuildingisnotsafe,eitherforoccu-piers or for people passing by.

He toldFever, “Themunicipali-tyhas removed the looseglassandaluminium on the top floor.

“A porta-cabin has also beenplacedat the site for the lifeguardsandtheirequipment,[untilthelife-guard building is replaced], toserve the Tidal pool.

“I have not yet seen an alloca-tion or vote for the new building,”Pullan added.

The councillor said that hehoped the new lifeguard buildingwould be rebuilt soon as the twobeaches at Umdloti are still un-der pilot status for Blue Flagaccreditation.

Celebrating 40 with flowers forever

DEBI BLAKE

CELEBRATING 40 years in anybusiness is an achievement.

John Porteous - proprietorof Elizabeth’s Florist in La LuciaMall- is the only original tenant still trad-ing since the opening of the shoppingcentre 40 years ago.

“Icanrememberchoosingmyspoton the corner before the roof was puton,” John told Fever.

Other extensions (and the lifts)were all added years later.

“When the mall was first builtthere was only sugar cane north ofShelbourne Avenue.”

The florist’s roots extend furtherback than 1974, as John’s mother(Elizabeth - the shop’s namesake)used to owna florist “close to the cor-ner of Kensington Drive and Broad-way - originally called Durban NorthGardenCentre - some60yearsago inthe early Fifties.”

Growing up around flowers (Johnis a Northwood Old Boy) - and after

studying to be a teacher and a stintwith a retail company - John and hiswife Jenni then opened Elizabeth’sFlorist at the mall.

They still have some customerswho used to order flowers from hismom.

Apart from the locals they havemade up stunning flower arrange-ments for visiting VIP’s such as JanetJackson, Kim Basinger and Victoriaand David Beckham!

“It had to be an all-white arrange-mentforVictoria’sbirthday,”Johnre-members.

John’s daughter, Tarryn, is nowher father’s right-hand.

Just prior to her birth, La LuciaMall was the first shopping centre inSouthAfrica tobeallowed to tradeona Sunday - in 1979.

Tarryn was born onMother’s Dayin 1980 - one of the busiest days onany florist’s calendar apart from Val-entine’s Day - “I had to run betweenthe hospital and the shop on the Sun-dayand thenputupa largesign in thewindow announcing “It’s a Girl!”John said.

Technology and improved trans-portation has helped during strikesand - a florist’s main bugbear - theweather!

“At least now there are alternativeoptions during supply problems as

CALLUSFORAFREEANDCONFI-DENTIAL CONSULTATION

What not to do when you areapproached by your creditors

I DO talks at schools, encouraging teens to make theright choices in life when it comes to choosing friends,smoking,drugs,alcoholabuse,bullyingandpornogra­phy.

When it comes to pornography, our children haveaccess to the internet on their cell phones, or friend’scell phone, as well as the traditional magazines, strip­

pers, and DVD’s.In my talks I stress how easy it is to become a porn

addict, and how degrading it is to women, to be seenpurely as a sexual being.

By indulging in porn, one is supporting theindustry, and in most cases, making immoral peoplewealthy, at the expense of the dignity and respect ofwomen.

Most men, driven by testosterone, have a weak­ness for the trap of pornography, and unfortunately,

porn is made light of at times, and not seen for thedangerous addiction it is.

When our children learn that their parents in­dulge in pornography, it makes the practice almostacceptable, or at least, “not THAT bad?” “After all,if my parent(s) watch porn, how bad can it really be;just harmless fun, surely?”

Here is a challenge to all those who might relateto this letter...

Let’s set the example to our children, and makeour homes “porn free”, as much as we possibly can?Let us throw the “trash” into the trash, where no­oneelse can access it.

And if it’s appropriate, do it with your teenager’scompany/buy in.

Let them know that your household does not be­lieve in degrading women, but believe that womenneed to be seen as God’s creation, deserving of re­spect, not just a physical body for a man’s pleasure.

autofeverR5 mln McLarenstolen in Durban heist>> Police reports car had been ordered for aDurban business tycoon

AMCLAREN 650S, worth over R5 mil­lion and one of only a handful in theworld, was stolen in a cargo heist

shortly after arriving at Durban Harbour onMonday 20 October, reports The Witness.

It is understood that the sports car ar­

rived at the Durban Harbour on Monday andonce cleared through customs had beenplaced in an unmarked container bound forJohannesburg.

Law enforcement reports that the theheavy goods truck carrying the McLaren was

hijacked in Warden near the KZN­Free Stateborder. The driver had been thrown out bycriminals at Hartebeespoort although wasunharmed in the robbery.

Police reports that the car had been or­dered for a Durban business tycoon, whohad bought the performance vehiclethrough his company. The businessman de­nied this and insisted his company had notpurchased the sports car.

Imperial Logistics marketing executiveMichelle Neilson confirmed that a truck washijacked on the N3 with a container contain­ing laptops and the McLaren 650 S.

Neilson said a case was opened at Eras­mia police station near Pretoria and that anImperial Investigations task team was as­signed to the case. “No further informationcan be disclosed at this stage due to thehighly sensitive nature of the ongoing inves­tigation,” Neilson said.

Daytona Motor Group CEO Justin Divarissaid the car was bound for its showroom inSandton. “I firmly believe that whoeverstole the truck had no idea what they hadtaken. There is obviously no market for a carlike that in SA.” He also denied that the Dur­ban business mogul had bought the car, andsaid they looked forward to getting their carback. — Jeff Wicks.

macher for nearly six months after theFormula 1 champion struck his head ina skiing fall says the injured ex­driver isno longer in a coma and predicted apossible recovery within three years.

Jean­Francois Payen, a doctor atthe Grenoble hospital that treatedSchumacher after his injury in Decem­ber 2013, said he has visited the Schu­macher family at home in Switzerlandto track his patient’s progress.

Schumacher was with his 14­year­old son in the French Alps when he fell,hitting the side of his head on a rockand cracking his helmet.

“Life after a head injury is punctuat­ed by stages. We hope, but we have togive him time,” said Payen last Thurs­day.

He predicted a convalescence ofone to three years.

Earlier French F1 commentatorJean­Louis Moncet repeated a reportthat Schumacher was “waking up veryslowly” from the induced coma con­trolling his serious brain injuries.

Moncet said: “I saw his son and hetold me Schumi was waking up veryslowly, very slowly.”

Payen commented: “It is to see howhe progresses and then tell his wife andhis children what changes I have ob­served. He is in very favourable condi­tions.

In September 2014 Schumacherleft a rehabilitation clinic in Switzer­land and returned home to his estateon the edge of Lake Geneva.

The man, arrested and in­terrogated by police, had de­nied any wrongdoing. He wasbeing detained in a Zurich po­lice holding cell, but wasfound hanged when officerstook him breakfast before ascheduled hearing before ajudge.
