Die 43-jarige Cythleen Beukman

wat in n brandwat in dieCaledon-

hospitaaluitgebreekhet,beseer is,

is Dinsdag 9 September oorlede.

Sy is op Donderdag 4 September

in die Caledon-hospitaal opge-

neem vir behandeling van tuber-

kulose.

DiebrandhetSaterdag6Septem-

ber in die hospitaalkamer waar

Beukman gel het, uitgebreek.

Volgens n betroubare bron het

Beukman na bewering in die ka-

mer n sigaret met n vuurhoutjie

aangesteek terwyl sy n suurstof-

masker gebruik het.

Die kamer het in vlamme uitge-

bars en volgens Beukman se fami-

lie het sy 70%-brandwonde opge-

doen. Sy is na di hospitaal se in-

tensiewesorgeenheid oorgeplaas,

maar is drie dae later oorlede.

VolgensNatashaPeterson, kom-

munikasie-amptenaar van die

Overberg-distrik, word die ont-

staan van die brand deur die Cale-

don-polisie ondersoek.

n Nadoodse ondersoek is ge-

doen en die bevindings is aan die

ondersoekbeampte deurgegee om

die saak verder te ondersoek.

Marishen Beukman, Cythleen

se niggie, s die familie is diep be-

droef oor haar dood. Ons is so in

die duister oor wat presies gebeur

het. Ons het gehoor dat sy glo gel

en rook het. Die familie stem nie

saam nie. Ons wil bewyse sien.

Beukman s Cythleen het soos

almal, goeie en swak punte gehad.

Sy was baie lief vir haar familie

en kinders. Sy was altyd behulp-

saam. Ek mis haar geweldig baie

want sy het altyd vir my kom help

werf skoonmaak en dan het ons

twee tog altyd so lekker gesels.

Beukman laat haar pa, twee sus-

ters, eenbroer, vier kinders en een

kleinkind agter.

Die begrafnis sal op Saterdag 20

September in Tesselaarsdal plaas-

vind.

huis, wat oorkant Laerskool Herma-

nus gele is, ingebreek het.

Van die inbrake het helderoordag

plaasgevind.

Jacques Buys s alhoewel hul le-

wens nie direk in gevaar was nie, is

waardevolle items wel gesteel.

In al drie gevalle wou hy n saak by

diepolisieaanhangigmaak,maarvol-

gens hom, sonder sukses. Sy skootre-

kenaar, klere, beursie en n handsak

is gesteel. Met die laaste inbraak so-

wat tweeweke gelede, s Buys, het hy

in die tuin rondgeloopnhybesef het

daar is ingebreek.

Hy het onder andere iemand onbe-

kendsepaspoortinsytuinontdekwat

waarskynlik by n ander huis gesteel

is. Hy het ook sy beursie met al sy

kaarte naby sy huis opgetel. Die kon-

tant was wel uit sy beursie gesteel.

Buys s Northcliff loop tans deur

onder opportuniste wat ronddwaal

vir kwaadgeld en inwoners moet op

hul hoede wees.

Kolonel Francois de Wet, waarne-

mende bevelvoerder van die Herma-

nus Polisie het, n Buys se frustrasie

aan hom bekend gemaak is, dadelik

vir Buys probeer kontak.

Elke mens is geregtig om n saak

oop te maak. Ek nooi die publiek uit

om my direk te kontak met al die be-

sonderhedeindien npolisiemanhom

of haarself skuldigmaak daaraan om

n saak te weier.

De Wet volg tans Buys se sake op.

Die R44was donker en baie besig.

Ek het agter vragmotors gesit kus-

verby te steek nie.

Die Wes-Kaapse minister van on-

derwys, Debbie Schfer, het Dinsdag

kriminele klagtes gel teen die orga-

niseerderswat agter die betoging sit.

Sy s leerders van vyf verskillende

dae lank nie skool bywoon nie.

Carin van Schalkwyk Havenga, n

inwonervanGrabouw, sdieonluste

ruk aan haar beursie.

My kind gaan skool in die Strand,

en ons moet sover elke dag die alter-

natiewe roetes gebruik om hom by

die skool te besorg aangesien hulle

besig is met n toetsreeks. Behalwe

vir die ekstra tyd wat dit neem, vat

dit ook aan die beursie.

Aflewerings in en om Grabouw

tans gesluit.

Selfs brandweerdienste is toegang

geraak deur die stakings.

Dit is eerder nklompopportunis-

te wat die betoging as n rookskerm

gebruik om spazawinkels en restau-

rante te roof en af te breek.

Stephan Rodenbach, bestuurder

van HouwHoek Inn, s sedert die N2

gesluit is, kom geen voertuie verby

op di pad nie.

Dus word daar middagetes ge-

maak, maar daar is geen besoekers

nie, want hulle kan nie toegang tot

oorweeg nou om te kanselleer as ge-

te kom, waar dit gewoonlik minder

as n uur duur.

NicoliLaraduToit, n inwonervan

jaar oue skaaphond in pyn gel. Dit

blyk sy het geskrik vir al die geraas

haar inderhaas veearts toe neem.

Volgens die Theewaterskloof-mu-

huising betref, ontvang die munisi-

tement waarvan die grootste gedeel-

te aan behuising in Grabouw bestee

word.

David Morris, n fotograaf wat se-

dert die onluste uitgebreekhet opdie

die situasie is steeds baie gespanne.

Selfs die media word met klippe be-

Volgens luitenant Raldene Atson,

Show support andwrap a tree in pink

ThePinkTreesforPaulineinitia-

tive is happening right now!

Last year a multitude of trees

in Hermanus were covered in

pink wrap, all for a good cause.

The Pink Trees for Pauline

started in 2012 when a Graaff-

Reinet resident, Carol-Ann van

Jaarsveld, lost her mother and

grandmother, both named Pau-

line, tocancer.Asa legacytoboth

these women she founded Pink

Trees for Pauline, together with

Adri van Nieuwenhuizen a

breast cancer survivor and Dr

Pam Kerr, an educational psy-

chologist.

To raise cancer awareness, all

the trees along the streets in

Graaff-Reinet were wrapped in

pinkmaterial. This unique initi-

ative has grown wings, and the

vision Carol-Ann once had, is

now the driving force of many

people who are wrapping South

Africa and Namibia in pink to

unite communities and raise

money too.

The initiative is run in the

Overstrand during the months

September and October.

How to get involved:

Last yearmanyOverstranders

dosoagain thisyear,youcanbuy

metres of pink material from:

Hospice Hermanus

Salon Annique

the Cansa Office in Onrus

the Caledon Casino

The minimum donation is R20

per metre.

Businesses or individuals also

have the option of sponsoring

material to be used in less privi-

leged areas as well as public spa-

ces in order to make sure the en-

tire community is involved.

Whatare the fundsused for?

Of all funds raised, 80%will be

used to improve thequalityof life

of those living with cancer with-

in the participating towns.

To this end, the fundswill used

in the following way:

Accommodation during can-

cer treatment

Home nursing

Feeding schemes for cancer

affected patients

Training cancer-buddies

Social worker training

Supplying of wigs or prosthe-

sis or wheelchairs

Playpens or toys for children

in hospitals

Gr. 8 en 9klasseword gestaak by Kleinmond Primr

ELB VAN HEERDEN

Kleinmond-ouers is hoogs on-

tevrede n n besluit van die

Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepar-

tement (WKOD) om graad 8-

en 9-klasse byKleinmondPri-

mre Skool te staak.

Die skool het tot onlangs

nog onderrig tot graad 9 ge-

bied, maar nou sal leerders f

naHawston f Grabouwmoet

reis om skool te kan gaan.

By navraag het die skool-

hoof, Roderick Brikkels, alle

navrae na dieWKOD verwys.

Die departement is in n be-

ter posisie om antwoorde te

gee rakende die prosesse wat

gevolg is.

Volgens Paddy Attwell,

woordvoerder vir die WKOD,

het die skool se beheerlig-

gaam aansoek gedoen om die

graad 8- en 9-klasse te laat weg-

val. Die skool se beheerliggaam

is bekommerd oor die invloed

wat die horskoolleerders op die

primreskoolkindershet.Verde-

re redes sluit in dat die onderwy-

sers by Kleinmond Primr nie

opgelei is om horskoolvakke,

soos wiskunde en ekonomiese

wetenskappe, aan te bied nie.

VolgensAttwell het dieWKOD

se distrikskantoor die saak ten

volle met die ouers en beheerlig-

gaam bespreek. Alhoewel van

die ouers die besluit teengestaan

het, het die meeste saamgestem

met die skuif.

Die WKOD bied reeds vervoer

aan graad 10-, 11- en 12-leerders

van Kleinmond na Hawston Se-

kondr. Die graad 8s en 9s sal

van dieselfde vervoer gebruik

maak indiendieouersbesluit om

hul kinders by Hawston in te

skryf.Hawstonhet die kapasiteit

om die leerders te akkommo-

deer.

n Groep ontevrede ouers het

Maandag n vergadering gehou

in die Kleinmond-gemeenskap-

saal waar hulle die kwessies met

die skool se beheerliggaam wou

bespreek, maar die beheerlig-

gaam en die hoof kon nie die ver-

gadering bywoon nie.

nOuer,AltheaOlivier, sdaar

is vergaderings met die WKOD

gehou, maar hul vrae is nie be-

antwoord nie. Ons is bekom-

merd oor die invloede waaraan

veral die jonger kinders blootge-

stelgaanwordinHawston.Eksal

verkies om my kinders na Gra-

bouw te stuur, maar dan sal ons

self vir die vervoer en skoolgelde

moet betaal.

Ons moet reeds nuwe skool-

klere koop en dit gaan sowat

R2 000 kos!

Ng n ouer, Gregory Jonas,

het n seun wat in Grabouw

skoolgaan en moet maandeliks

sowat R650 opdok vir taxi-geld.

Ek sou verkies dat my kleintjie

hier bly tot en met graad 9, maar

ons word nou verplig om hulle

weg te stuur.

Daar isooknie soveel geleent-

hedevirdiekinderswat in-en-uit

nauurse programme deel-

neem nie. Daar is baie talent

wat so verlore gaan.

FransienaKilanivoelhulle

word gedwing om meer kos-

tes aan te gaan, sonder dat

hulle tyd gehad het om daar-

voor te beplan.

Ons moet ewe skielik al

ons kinders twee jaar vroer

wegstuur endis baieduur.As

ek hulle nog twee jaar hier

kon hou, kon ek daarvoor be-

plan.

Ander ouers voel egter dat

die besluit n goeie een is.

Diegraad8s en9sboeliedie

kleintjies, s Juanita Ga-

lant. Hulle vloek, baklei en

gee selfs love bites. Ek het dit

al baie gesien.

Die teenargument is egter dat

die jonger leerdersookboelies is,

selfs van graad 5 of 6, en dat die

skool die leerder moet dissipli-

neer om dit te voorkom.

WilliamAugust shulle het in-

tussen n mosie van wantroue

teen die skool se beheerliggaam

ingedien.

Ons het vir hulle sewe dae ge-

gee om te reageer op die skrywe.

Daar is sedert Oktober reeds

kwessies rakende die beheerlig-

gaam wat nie kworum kan kry

vir vergaderings nie. Hoe kan

hulle dan s n groot besluit

maak, wat elkeen van ons raak,

sonder dat ons vrae begin vra?

Hulle wag tans op n antwoord

van die skool se beheerliggaam.

Sommige ouers is ontevrede oor, en gekant teen, die besluit om die graad

8 en 9klasse van Kleinmond Primre Skool te sluit aangesien hulle voel

hul kant van die saak is nie aangehoor nie en die beheerliggaam besluite

sonder hul insette gemaak het. FOTO: ELB VAN HEERDEN

We regret to advise that Lusi-

tania Seafoods will be closed

as of 1 September 2014. We

thank you for your past sup-

port. Apologies, management

and staff.

S lees die kennisgewing tans

op die voordeur van Lusitania

Seafoods in die nuwehawenadat

di maatskappy letterlik oornag

sy deure gesluit het.

Volgens Mary Lunde, algeme-

ne bestuurder by Lusitania Food

ProductsinDurban,wasditbloot

n besigheidsbesluit om die win-

kel toe te maak, aangesien dit

teen n verlies bedryf is.

Disnoualvirbaie jarewatdie

maatskappy verliese ly, en het

ons, tesamemet die eienaar, Rob

Lea, besluit om eerder die deure

te sluit.

Lea, wat Lusitania Seafoods

virsowat n jaarbesithet,konnie

deur die Hermanus Times opge-

spoor word vir kommentaar nie.

So ook is daarmaatskappye in

Hermanuswat n diens aanLusi-

taniaverskafhet,enaanwiedaar

geld geskuld word, wat ook nie

weet waar om te gaan aanklop

nie.

Aaneenvanhierdiemaatskap-

pye, Walker Bay Pest Control,

watalvirdieaqfgelope10jaarLu-

sitania se plaagbeheer behartig,

word daar glo n groot bedrag ge-

skuld.

Volgens Leatitia van Niekerk,

mede-eienaar van Walker Bay

Pest Control, is hierdie uitstaan-

de rekening nie kleingeld nie en

weet hulle nie waar om te begin

navraag doen nie.

Op 1 September het ek uit die

bloute n e-pos ontvang met die

boodskapdatdiebesigheidtoege-

maakhet.Toeekprobeerbel,kon

ek eenvoudig nrens antwoord

kry nie. As ek net geweet het die

besigheidgaan toemaak,of asdie

eienaarnet eerlikgenoegwasom

dit vooraf aan ons te noem, dan

wasditnievironsnodigomhulle

elke keer te dagboek nie.

Maar by elke navraag oor of

ons die plaagbeheer moet kom

doen, hethulle elkekeer ges dis

reg,kommaar.Ekvoelhullekon

dan eerder vir ons laat weet het

hullegaantoemaak,endatditnie

meer nodig is om hulle te diens

nie, want dan sou die bedrag ook

aansienlik minder beloop het,

s Van Niekerk.

Oor hoekomLusitania vir etli-

ke jare teen n verlies bedryf is,

het Lunde ges die seisoentyd

was eenvoudig net te kort om die

besigheid deur die stilmaande te

dra.

En by navraag oor wat maat-

skappye te doen staan aan wie

Lusitania Seafoods geld skuld,

het Lunde geantwoord: Die

maatskappy was hulle eie enti-

teit, en ons gesamentlike onder-

neming met mekaar was slegs

ten opsigte van toerusting en die

perseel.

Soekkannienamens nander

watter prosedure daar gevolg

moet word ten opsigte van uit-

staande skuld nie.

Ander bendes in die onder-

skeie gemeenskappe sluit in

die Dixie Boys in Mount Plea-

DEVELOPMENTAGENTOFFICES (SEDA)

To bant ornot to bant?

JAN-HENDRIK COETZER

Dowehave to go the grainway or the ani-

malway?This is thequestion thathas the

whole world debating after Prof Tim No-

akes advocated that a high fat, medium

protein, low carb eating plan will secure

you a longer and healthier life as well as

help you get rid of those extra kilos.

Noakes, professor of exercise and sports sci-

enceattheUniversityofCapeTown,inassocia-

tionwithWhaleCoast96FMandTheBookCot-

tage, visited Hermanus where he shed some

light on his controversial banting diet book,

The Real Meal Revolution.

The event, held on 11 September at the Inn

AfriKa Guest House & Events venue in Sand-

baai, was fully booked with almost 200 people

attending.

Manypeople believe thatNoakes statement

is the biggest threat to the science of health

but he says that is exactly why he wrote this

book, so that people can decide for them-

selves.

Thebasicprincipleof this eatingplan is sim-

ple: lower your intake of carbohydrates and

sugars and load up on all the good fats. This

means less bread, potatoes, pizza and sweets,

and foods such as cream, cheese, bacon, eggs

and avocadoes can be indulged in.

As a diabetic himself, Noakes believes that

thescientificdiscovery in theUSAin1977, that

a lowfatdietwill reduceheart related illnesses

as well diabetes, is all untrue.

For all these yearswe believed that cutting

out fat will secure us a healthier life, and its

all nonsense. We need the fat, our body needs

fat, and most of all, our brain needs fat. It is

essential for healthy living. And with that Im

not saying that youmust cut out your carb in-

take completely. Just lower your carbs. It is

not fat that will kill you, it is the high carbs

that will put you at risk.

According to Noakes, no scientific study on

any eating plan can be completely accurate.

Formany years wewere led to believe that

eatingfatwillclotourarteriesandleadtoheart

attacks.Butwewereonlytoldthat,itwasnever

a scientific fact. The only way you can prove

such a thing is by putting thousands of people

inquarantineandput themondifferent eating

plans for over a years time and then closely

monitor them.Otherwise therecanbenoaccu-

rate evidence onwhether fat is good or bad for

you.

Noakessays thatsomewell-knownSouthAf-

ricanssuchasKobusWiese,formerSouthAfri-

can rugby player, and Derek Watts, Carte

Blanchepresenter, alsostartedbanting.Kobus

lost about 30 kg and Derek about 8 kg.

When Iwas interviewed byDerekWatts on

CarteBlancheonthebantingdiet,hepresented

me with a piece of meat with a fat strip on a

plate and asked, how are you supposed to eat

this? So I took the knife, cut off the fat and said

toDerek, nowyou throw away themeat. Obvi-

ously the Heart Foundation and everyone else

were immediately onmycase formaking such

a statement. But like I say, try it and decide

for yourself.

According to Noakes, carbohydrates dont

make us full, and are also addictive.

For instance, if you eat two eggs in

themorninginsteadofcereal,youwill

be fuller for longer. Eating carbohy-

drates for breakfast will leave you

hungry before lunch time, I promise you. By

eating boiled or scrambled eggs instead, you

wont feel hungry or crave those in-between

snacks.

He says that its very important to stayaway

from any fat free or low fat food.

If its fat free, it means that it has sugar in

it to make it taste like something. And as you

know, large quantities of sugar is unhealthy.

Dont fool yourselves by thinking if you eat fat

free food that its more healthy, because its

just the opposite.

Many people argue that banting can be very

expensive, but according to Noakes, the bant-

ingdiet doesnt have to cost youmore thanR30

a day. Many people think you now have to

eat lamb chops and steak, but you canalso buy

liver, sardines, eggs and even afval, which are

all high in protein, for much less.

Onaquestion fromtheaudienceonwhether

a vegetarian diet is healthy or not, because its

totally the opposite from banting, Noakes an-

swered the only healthy vegetarians I know

are the ones who cheat.

Vandalisme

opVOS

voetpaadjie

JANINE VAN DER RIET

n Inwoner wie gereeld op die voetpaad-

jies tussen Onrus en Sandbaai draf, is ge-

skok oor die gereelde nuwe vandalisme

wat sy weekliks waarneem en volgens

haar aan die toeneem is.

MartinevandenHeever s syhet opgemerk

dat al die skade nie op een slag aangerig is

nie.Sodiekwaaddoenershetdus npaarkeer

teruggekom deur die loop van die week.

Sy het Dinsdag weer verskeie gedenktels

opgemerk wat deur vandaliste verniel is.

Daar is heelwat vandalisme te bespeur op

die Vermont/Onrus/Sandbaai (VOS) paadjie

in Sandbaai. Naby die begin van die paadjie

aan Schulphoek se kant is een teltjie toege-

verf met n vloekwoord langsaan en verder

aan op die paadjie is n paar tels beskadig

en een heeltemal stukkend gekap.

In Mei-maand het dieHermanus Times ook

oor vandalisme in hierdie gebied berig.

Altesaam 20 gedenktels is toe op di kus-

paadjie verniel en moes vervang word.

Avril Steenkamp, die voorsitter van VOS,

s die tels word teen R2 000 stuk gekoop ter

nagedagtenis aan n geliefde, en word op die

kuspaadjie tussen Vermont en Sandbaai aan-

gebring. Steenkamp s hul beleid is dat die

beskadigde tels n maksimum van drie keer

gratis deur VOS vervang word, maar daarna

isditdie tel-eienaarseverantwoordelikheid.

Van die gedenktels is met verf besmeer,

stukkend gekap, en vloekwoorde is ook

langs die tels op die voetpaadjie geverf.

CILENE BEKKER

Vriende van die koningin

vandieverhoog,aktriseWil-

na Snyman, het haar verras

met n verjaardagviering by

Sprokkelster-teater in On-

rus Dinsdagaand.

Wilna het by die teater opge-

daag om saam met mede-spe-

lers, Adriaan van Niekerk en

Magda van Biljon, n musiek-

en-posie vertoning te lewer.

Sy was oorstelp toe sy op die

verhoog stap en al die teater-

gangers losbarsmet n verjaar-

dagliedjie, en moes kort-kort trane

wegpink toe oud-teater-kollegas om

die beurt stories vertel oor die dae

toe hul paaie met Wilna sn gekruis

het.

Gerhard Scholtz, in sy praatjie,

het haar blameer vir sy verhoog-

blaps in sy drama-studentdae, toe

hy uiteindelik beskore was om n

spreekbeurt-rol los te slaan. Ek

wasbaienervous. Toeons lot vanag-

ter die gordyn sien Wilna en haar

man is in die gehoor toe val ek om-

der groot vroue in die bedryf. Alet-

perman het getuig dat hy meer dra-

masvirWilnageskryfhetasvir

enige ander aktrise. Sy laat

my altyd dink aan die gesegde:

Quiet please, there is a lady on

the stage.

En die bewyse van di geseg-

de is steeds daar. Wilna kon

met haar jare se ervaring haar

gemoed, en oorvloed van emo-

sies, bymekaar skraap om die

mense met wie haar paaie ge-

kruis het, te bedank vir jare se

liefde en ondersteuning. Julle

het my goed onkant gevang, en

op hierdie oomblik verlang ek

youare,where youare, andwhat you

are doing.

R850 000 and the foundation has

been given until 31 October to

raise the funds.

R250 000 was raised in June

with a 1 000 km cycle challenge

undertaken by Koos and Joanie

Smith of the foundation.

importantly, get help with their

homework and additional

learner support.

Thecommittee isappealing for

donations like secondhand cars

and furniture for the auction.

They already have 13 vehicles to

sell, but are hoping to have 20.

They would also like to have at

least 50 pieces of furniture to of-

fer for sale, as well as any other

items of value.

Perhaps you have an old car

charity, also runs the Fynbos

Akademie on Langverwacht

Farm in the Papiesvlei area,

which caters for about 60

learners.

With the help of Agri Mega in

Bredasdorp, a vegetable garden

has been established at Langver-

Municipalmanagers salaries todecrease

JANINE VAN DER RIET

AnewGovernmentnoticehasbeenpub-

lished with regard to themaximum sal-

ary notches for officials like municipal

managers by the minister of Coopera-

tive Governance and Traditional Af-

fairs (CoGTA), Pravin Gordhan.

This notice determines a revised upper

limit for the remuneration packages appli-

cable to senior managers inclusive of mu-

nicipal managers at municipalities.

According toa list of all theWesternCape

municipalities where the salary packages

are set out, it seems that the salaries of 26

municipal managers must on average be

decreased with R300 000 per year.

The current annual salary of the Over-

strand municipal manager is R1 659 212,

according to the list. The new maximum

limit for the OverstrandMM, set by the na-

tional departement, is R1 191 500.

This salary paid to the OM municipal

manager at present, is the second highest

paid salary for municipal managers in the

Western Cape.

GeorgeMunicipality is taking the salary

leadwith R1 680 692 annually, with the new

maximum limitation of R 1 449 390 annual-

ly.

Anton Bredell MEC: Local Government,

Environmental Affairs and Development

Planning said to the Hermanus Times on

Tuesday, thenoticedoesprovide for transi-

tional provisions which, amongst others,

state that the salaries in the notice do not

affect the validity of an existing employ-

ment contract of a senior manager.

Therefore, with regard to what is to be

done, one cannot reduce current packages

as thatwouldvery likelybeamongstother

things a breach of contractual law. The

current levels of remuneration may there-

fore remain in place.

Minister Bredell agrees that salaries

need to be regulated but says he is also

aware that the current notice has practical

implementation challenges and thesemust

urgently be addressed.

The minister is still consulting with the

national department and other stakehold-

ers on the issue.

The provisions of the Notice became ef-

fective as of 1 July 2014.

) In the Overstrand Municipalitys ope-

rating budgets for 2014/2015, salaries were

decreased with R564 968, while provision

was made for another decrease, more than

R3.5 M in the years 2015-16 and 2016-17.

According to the budget report, the de-

crease amount will be generated by vacan-

cies not filled.

Savings of R62 435 is shown on the sala-

ries of municipal managers and directors,

with more savings to come in the next two

financial years.

So waar as vet

Nouhet Prof TimNoakes se omstrede ho

vet, lae koolhidratedieet ook Overstran

ders aan die gons.

Dit nadat Noakes op Donderdag 11

September sowat 200 mense in Sandbaai

toegespreekhet oor sybantingdieet.Dou-

ble Cream jogurt vlieg van die rakke af,

biltong met ekstra vet is skielik gewild, ou

Wagter is knorrig, want die varktjop se

vetrandjie of hoendervelletjie beland nie

meer in sy kosbak nie en dan is daar selfs

restaurante wat as alternatiewe opsie die

bantingspyskaart voor jou inskuif.

Vir al die jare al glo ons dat baie vet

in die dieet sleg is vir ons gesondheid, vet

sug kan veroorsaak en verskeie hartsiektes

teweeg kan bring. En hier kom Noakes en

gooi behoorlik die hele appellorrie om

deur te s dat as jy meer vet eet en jou

koolhidrate en suiker laag hou, jy gewig

sal verloor en baie gesonder sal voel.

Is hierdie alles feit of flater?

Of jy jou skaar by di wat saamstem of

di wat galbraak, Noakes se antwoord is

kort en kragtig, probeer dit en besluit

self.

Costs of building materi-

als do differ

With reference to the Just asking letter in

the Hermanus Times of 4 September:

Firstly the writer shares no facts and is

clearly oblivious to the fact that along the

coast and inland building materials differ as

do theirpricing.This letternotonlyquestions

the integrity of buildingmaterial suppliers in

the area but also quantity surveyors, estima-

tors and contractors alike, and their ability

or inability to procurematerial cost effective-

ly.

The fact that the writer quotes that a roll

of dampproof in Hermanus costs R1 500 and

in Johannesburg costs R500, is a clear indica-

tion they have no idea of building material

and the difference in building practice be-

tween inland and coastal areas and material

used and why. The cost of building along the

coast has and will always be more expensive

as a result of our extreme climate difference.

Material andbuildingpractice required to ac-

commodate for that, naturally comes at a

higher cost. With regards to the window and

door scenario we have a local Cape-based na-

tionalwindowanddoorsupplierthathasvari-

ous quality and thickness ranges available

andevencertaincheaperrangesnotavailable

for re-sale along the coast, hence the ability

to adjust their pricing accordingly to accom-

modate the writer. If low cost housing and

building practice is what the writer is accus-

tomed to, I suggest they relocate their opera-

tion to areas suited for that. We are available

to assist with any building advice or building

material pricing related queries and will en-

sure that you receive the right product at the

right price for the right application.

Onrusrivier-oorlaaistasie: voor- en nadele

Die huidige polemiek aangaande die oor-

laaistasie en moontlike oplossings, veral

die plasing van vullishouers (staaldrom-

me) by wonings, verg noukeurige besin-

ning sodat die voor- en die nadele van sen-

tralisasie en desentralisasie deeglik oor-

weeg kan word.

Kortliks: Met die bestaande oorlaaista-

siefasiliteite word/is die probleem ge-

nadiglik gesentraliseer en in n mate be-

stuurbaar. Maar, met desentralisasie

waar vullishouers by wonings geplaas

word, word, o.a. twee addisionele potensi-

ele probleme geskep.

Eerstesgaanhierdiemensediestrate in-

vaar om die vullishouers te deursoek n

praktyk wat homweekliks in die Kaap af-

speel.

Op di wyse word n eiesoortige pro-

bleem van groter omvang geskep omdat

rommelstrooiingopsulkedaeaandieorde

van die dag is.

So n omgewingsprobleem sal van veel

groter omvangwees as tans bydie oorlaai-

stasie, en gaanmet die beste wil in die w-

reld nie maklik hanteerbaar wees nie.

Ten tweede skep desentralisasie ook n

potensile veiligheidsrisiko. Weereens,

omdat diesulkes genoodsaak is/word om

in die woonbuurte in te beweeg kan eien-

domme en permanente inwoners veel

makliker geidentifiseer en geteikenword.

Dit is dus namymening duidelik dat de-

sentralisasie, benewens die omgewings-

probleme en veiligheidsrisikos wat dit

kanmeebring, nie volhoubaarkanof gaan

wees nie.

Die bestaande gesentraliseerde bestel,

ten spyte van die huidige nadele, bied da-

rem ten minste n meer hanteerbare be-

stuursopsie en, laat ons dit nou maar er-

ken, dra darem by tot netjieser en skoner

woonbuurte.

Ten slotte moet ek ookmeld dat n voor-

stel vir die plasing van n staal-

dromsummier voor my huis sonder my

inspraak onaanvaarbaar is.

Ek heg groot waarde aan die estetiese

voorkoms van my huis en omgewing en

aanvaar al vir baie jare, op my eie koste,

die verantwoordelikheid om die sypaad-

jies van my hoekerf skoon en netjies te

hou.

n Staaldrom gaan ek beslis nie duld

nie.

Wat n nagmerrie honde-stappie

Ons het met ons twee honde, aan leibandjies,

dat die straat so stil is, ons honde nie aggres-

InWesendstraat het ons teruggestap op pad

huis toe. Daar het n wit bakkie baie stadig

af, want ek ys wat sou gebeur het indien hy

my klein hondjie net een hap sou gee!

Met ons gesukkel om die swart gevaartes

van ons twee liefdevolle hondeweg te kry, het

hul baas, net so n entjie voor ons, in die bak-

kie bly sit, en alles gesien. Hy het nie uitge-

klimof syhondegeroepof gefluit nie, net alles

gesit en aanskou.

Dit wasHarcourts se agent, wat rens agter

ons was, wat alles gesien en stilgehou het en

gevra het of alles okay is. Ons het by die eie-

naar van die twee swart honde se huis verby-

gestap, waar hulle weer deur die draad ons

aggressief aangeval het, maar die baas was

nie in sig nie.

Ons wil die eienaar net waarsku om sulke

onnosele dinge nooit weer te doen nie, want

ander honde sal dalk nie so gelukkig soos ons

sn wees nie.

Almal s ons moet polisie toe gaan, maar

omdat ons nie hou van onenigheid nie, doen

ons dit nie. Maar asb. eienaar van hierdie

honde, neemhulle ver uit die dorp vir n stap-

pie, want elke hond verdien dit, maar asb nie

in ons strate nie.

Shocking facts regarding

African Bank saga

Thank you for publishing the letter of JJ

Breitenbach last week, Stay alert people

I was alerted to the following shocking fact:

My Money Market account had been plun-

dered, reduced, without any consultation or

consent, to keep a sinking ship afloat. This

called ABIL (African Bank to most). I have

beenusingtheaccount for thecorrectpurpose

for which it has been designed i.e a small sav-

ing to cater for emergencies and recently sold

a vehicle to purchase my camper. The state-

ment reflects two deductions, R336 called a

unit deduction or a haircut. This is appar-

ently non returnable and my donation to AB-

IL. The other R3 311 an ABIL retention fund

called a side pocket. Apparently but not

guaranteed, this couldberefundedwith inter-

est in February 2015. Once again, those of us

whosave (asweare requested todo) and those

of uswho have deprived ourselves of extrava-

gances have been targeted. I never saw Afri-

canBankas a viable businessmodel andhave

selectedwhatIconsiderstable institutionsfor

my funds.

Imustaskwhataction isbeing takentohold

officials accountable. The CEOs monument

to self indulgence stands proud on an outcrop

at Pringle Bay. If the side pocket is going

to be repaid why did AB not have sufficient

debt collection to keep the business afloat in

the first place? Are investors expected to

stand by and allow funds to be further plun-

dered, together with worsening services and

increasing taxes or is there any formof collec-

tive action in the pipeline?

the ABIL saga will be addressed in the next

Wildhorses in Fisherhavenare anuisance

We have written a letter to the health depart-

ment, but have had no response from them,

regarding the wild horses in Fisherhaven

which are a nuisance.

Is nobody taking any actions until an acci-

dent wakes up the authorities?

Our letter to the health department reads

as follows:

Dear Ms. Erasmus.

We have queried some time ago by phone

the problem with the so-called wild horses in

Fisherhaven.

They are really stray horses and up to ten

of them are here on a daily basis, fouling the

streets right up to and onto the R 43, fighting

sometimes and damaging private property.

This is not a farming area where manure is

properly managed.

We like to see the horses when they are in

their proper environment. They belong to an

area such as Rooisand and have to be taken

and contained there.

We can see a problem with flies and other

pests proliferating if the municipality does

not remove the horses from Fisherhaven.

Would it be legal to keep horses here in our

suburbs?

Can residents keep horses in Westcliff or

in other central wards?

We trust, that you deal with this matter ur-

gently.

Bonusren vir damme

Die weerglas het Dinsdagaand begin val van 1010 hPa

tot 1004 hPa. Hoogtyd, want ons is net agt weke van

someraf.Vironswatalbeginglohetonsmisdiewinter-

rens, is dit n troos.

Dis n bonus vir die opgaardamme van die Overberg

want ons kan n goeie 37 tot 40 mm in die volgende 30

uur verwag. Vandag van 11:00 tot 17:00 is die hardste

neerslag van oor 20 mm.

Enkele lesers had die afgelope week vrae oor die

goeie nuus dat die gat in die osoonlaag besig is om te

herstel, maar die slegte nuus is dat die osoonlaag net

daarisomonsteengevaarlikestralevandiesonfakkels

(sonuitbarstings) en violetstrale te beskerm.

Klimaatverandering het net te doenmet die elfjarige

ovaalsiklus van die son, wat volgens Hennie Koortz

van die Sterrewag inKaapstad, dalk die komende paar

dae internetgebruikers onthuts gaan los as hul selfone

skielik simpel goed begin doen. Die diensverskaffers

moet tog nie die skuld kry nie. Trek liewer genoeg geld

vir kontant in die huis vir ingeval, want die banke is

nie immuun teen internetonderbrekings nie.

OordieOverberg seweerkanonsmaarnetweereens

dankbaarwees vir die unieke posisiewat dieOverberg

in die weersiklus het, soveel so dat daar soms twyfel

is of ons wel in n winterrenvalstreek is. Wat wel ver-

staan word is dat die ganse wreld se weer tans op sy

kop gekeer is. In die noordelike halfrond wat

al byna winter het, woed nog tropiese storms

en hier by ons is plekke wat gewoonlik warm

is, skielik koud en die koue plekke warmer.

Ook Sutherland is in die veiligheidsone van

uiterstes. Di area wat vir Weerhaan altoos n

monitor op die grafieke is, bly eenvoudig koud

as die son sak.

Die noordwes wat die vog indra het skyn-

baar in die huidige stand van die son n reguit

lyn Overberg toe. Die die rede waarom dit so

is, is dat die elfjaar-ovaalbaan van die son n

lyn tussen die noord en suidpool het. Dit word

die Ourora Ovaal genoem. Dit lyk of die huidi-

ge verskuiwing van die son se baan dieminste

uitwerking op die lyn tussen die magnetiese

pole het. Ons kan dalk so bietjie links of regs

uit wees.

Curro spoils the lasses

A vibrant and colourful day was enjoyed

byall thewomenandgirls atCurroHema-

Sandbaai hall last Saturday.

Lauren Shantall and Catherine Bowen,

wowed everyone with an inspired talk about

the new trends for 2015.

Phrases like futureAtlantis, abstract stain,

avante pop, faye botanical, vitamin-induced

new ideas on how to colour their future.

The SandbaaiHall and tableswere adorned

byart fromWalkerBayGalleries,PureSouth,

There are family gatherings, and

then there is Dommisse Day

When the extended Dommisse family decides

its time to reconnect, it is a gathering of note.

On Saturday a Dommisse Day was held at

the home of the Malans (Mary Dommisses

son) in Volklip and it was attended by 68 de-

scendants and their families.

According to Neil Malan, the Dommisse

family has a long history in Hermanus.

Dr Jan Dommisse (born in Piketberg in

1879) retired to Peter Pan in Luyt Street (for-

merly Theron Street) in the early 1940s, hand-

ing over his Worcester practice to his son

John.

Dr John (snr) had a house

called Suikerbossie at that

time and later built Berg en

See. Both these homes are in

Volklip.

The family still owns that

house and the descendants are

often seenonVolklipBeachor

Kammabaai, says Neil.

Gathering the family is no

mean feat as they are wide

spread and plentiful.

At last count Dr Jan is the

forefather of 110 direct de-

scendants living as far afield as

Canada, Australia, England,

Italy and the USA.

The photo shows the part of the second gen

eration of Dr Jan Dommisse: Chris Malan, Dr

George Dommisse, Liz Hutton, Adrian Dom

misse, Neil Malan and Anne Eadie.

All in all, 68 descendants and their families were at the

Dommisse Day, hosted at the Malans home in Volklip on

Saturday.

JAN-HENDRIK COETZER

Wessie van der Westhuizen het oorgeneem

as nuwe eienaar van die Edge Fitness Gym

op die boonste vloer van die Eastcliff Village

Inkopiesentrum op 1 September.

Volgens Van der Westhuizen, voorheen

van Fochville in Gauteng, is dit sy strewe

en mikpunt om 100% by die gimnasium be-

trokke te wees.

Ek gaan alles in my mag doen om weer

die diensfaktor terug te bring. Ek kompeteer

self as dit kom by liggaamsbou, so ek sal vir

seker die meeste van my tyd by die gimnasi-

um deurbring.

Die gimnasium word tans aan die binne-

kant oorgeverf en Wessie s hulle beoog om

die uitleg daarvan te verbeter en om ook n

winkeltjiebinnediegimnasiumoop temaak.

My ander besigheid is die verspreiding

van Gorilla Wear, n sportklerereeks wat ek

in Suid-Afrika bemark.

Sodieklerereeks, saammet liggaamsbou-

aanvullings sal binnekort ook in die gimna-

sium beskikbaar wees.

Eastcliff Village Shopping Cen-

tre is undergoing quite a few

changes with regards to a new

landlord, and some of the busi-

nesses trading in the centre

have already changed hands.

According to Keith Muirhead

from the property company Point-

Break,who is in theprocess of tak-

ing over Eastcliff Centre from

ADEK, thetransferhasnotyet tak-

en place.

For this reason it will be inap-

propriate for me to comment on

anything at this stage.

Greg Altona-de Klerk from

ADEK, the company selling the

property, also confirmed that the

transfer is not yet official and that

theycannotelaborateat thispoint.

In the meantime the gym, Edge

Fitness Club, has been taken over

by a new owner, Wessie van der

Westhuizen, the carwash is now

owned by David Cooper and will

reopen soon, and the bookshop,

bookmark, is moving to Main

Road (as reported in last weeks

HT).
