Notice slapped on developer TERESA FISCHER A LOCAL businessman has less than 60 days to present suitable plans for construction at his prob- lem-plagued building at a popular social spot in Kenilworth, or face further legal action by the City of Cape Town. The City’s Department of Plan- ning and Building Development Management has confirmed that a notice to submit building plans for deviations to the original approved plans for the building have been is- sued to the owner of 166 2nd Ave- nue, Kenilworth, Alan Muller. This notice was, however, not complied with, and a new notice, which gives a 60-day response time, was issued by registered mail on Monday 14 February to the Thera- peia Centre CC, represented by Muller. Tenants include Bella’s Music and Sports Pub, Sunny’s Chinese Restaurant and Trattoria Angelico at the business hub. The city also cut off the water sup- ply to the building on Tuesday 15 February, following an article in People’s Post, in which it was al- leged the owner had diverted water from the main pipe, bypassing the meter (“Time for action on ‘illegal’ building”, People’s Post, 15 Febru- ary 2011). By Thursday 17 February there was still no water and it is under- stood there was an outstanding amount due for water. Cheryl Walters, director of Plan- ning and Building Development Management, confirmed the premises does not have an occupa- tion certificate. An application for occupancy was received but this was withheld due to outstanding plans for devia- tions. In response to concerns that the pillars outside the Chinese restau- rant were unsafe, Walters says: “These pillars have been checked on several occasions and were found to be safe. This is verified by a structural engineer’s report.” There were approved plans for the building but the developer had deviated from these plans. A notice to cease deviation was issued on 7 May 2009 and a further notice to cease work was issued on 18 June 2009. A summons was then issued for failure to comply. At a court appear- ance on 26 November 2010, Muller paid an admission of guilt fine. He then submitted building plans with the deviations included, but the application did not include an application to purchase a portion of City-owned land and to rezone. “The rezoning application was re- fused and the building plan applica- tion was turned down,” says Wal- ters. Meanwhile, Ian Schnetler, Chief Fire Officer, Fire and Rescue Serv- ices, listed several contraventions at Bella’s Music and Sports Pub, which in November 2010 applied for a business licence. These included unauthorised building alterations, obstructed fire escape routes, the absence of signage to indicate exits, and a lack of fire suppression equipment and escape routes. The owner was not in possession of a population certificate, which specifies the number of people al- lowed in the venue, and there was no manually activated audible alarm. According to Schnetler, the due date for compliance, 10 December 2010, was not met. “A copy of the notice was sent to City Health’s Environmental Health Section, who have the au- thority to stop all business activi- ties. “The Environmental Health Sec- tion confirmed that Bella’s busi- ness licence was not issued and that they can only trade as a pub with their liquor licence.” Bella’s may not serve food or play live music, but weekend braais on the balcony are allowed, according to Dr Ivan Bromfield, executive di- rector of the City Health Depart- ment. However, a follow-up inspection of Bella’s was conducted on Tues- day 15 February, after which the ca- pacity was reduced to 25 persons. A population certificate, fire es- cape doors and fire escape signage are not required when the popula- tion is 25 or less, including staff. In response to why a business can be granted a liquor licence if it does not have a business licence, Coun- cillor Taki Amira, chairperson of the Liquor Policy Task Team and chairperson of the Good Hope Sub- council, explains that this is a con- sequence of the existing Liquor Act, which does not contain an obliga- tion to garner comment from com- munities. “The Liquor Act of 1989, which is currently in force, does not list the possession or a business licence or a zoning certificate or permission from a municipality as a prerequi- site to apply for and be granted a liq- uor licence,” Amira says. Amira adds the DA lobbied for the right of local government and the ward councillor and communi- ty to have some say in the recom- mendation of liquor licences, which is now an integral part of the amended Western Cape Liquor Act 2008. This Act was signed by the Premier on 17 December 2010 and will probably come into effect in September this year. “In future the new Western Cape Liquor Act makes provision for the police to, within seven days, lodge a liquor licence application with the local municipality. “The municipality may advertise this to neighbours and interested persons and may make a recom- mendation. The Liquor Authority will now have to consider these rec- ommendations before granting li- cences.” He describes the Business Licens- ing Act as “a national piece of ar- chaic legislation which gives very little leeway in refusing a business licence”. Business licences are is- sued by the City Environmental Health Department. Ward councillor, Montgomery Oliver, says: “Our hands are tied. The matter is now in the hands of the courts.” Oliver adds he believes that alle- gations regarding noise and “other nightly unsavoury activities” are being checked by the Claremont Po- lice. Muller could not be contacted for comment by the time of going to print.

Century City resident Shahra Sattar, ayoung doctor working inthe HIV /Aids and TBfields, described the experience of being serenaded by Bono as “unbelievable”. “Bono gotdown on his knees,pointed at me and said‘you’. Then I was lifted onto the stage,” Sattar says. Sattar works in HIV/Aids and TBat the University of Stellenbosch, fields in which the crooner has been extremely active.“I’ve always loved him as a singer – but then I became a doctor – and he went frombeing my favourite singer to being my hero because of his activism.” Photo: Dianne Delahunty

Police vehicle ‘used for furniture delivery’TAMMY PETERSEN
MILLIONS of rands go into thepurchase, maintenance and re-fuelling of police vehicles everyyear – money that comes fromthe taxes of hard-working peo-ple.
This is why a reader, drivingdown Main Road, Kenilworth, sawred when he noted a police bakkiebeing used for what he calls a “re-moval service”.
The man, who asked not to benamed, says he noticed the ToyotaHilux bakkie, which had “SCMSomerset West” and the police lo-go emblazoned on the side, drivingdown the road on Sunday 20 Feb-ruary at about 16:45.
The bakkie, which did not havea canopy, was also transportingtwo teenagers, an elderly man andtwo young men on the back.
The vehicle was carrying afridge, stove and other householdappliances, causing the reader totail it and see whether it was beingused for “official police business”.
“I first observed it coming out ofAliwal Road, where it turned to-wards Claremont. I followed it andtook down the registrationnumber,” he says.
“The vehicle made a right turninto Rouwkoop Road in Ronde-
bosch, which is a few hundred me-tres from the police station.
“It continued down the road andentered the parking of a block offlats, situated at the corners ofRouwkoop,EdnamandKingsburyPark roads.”
He then watched as the plain-clothed driver off-loaded the furni-ture and carried it inside a sidedoor which leads to the rows offlats.
“I couldn’t see exactly wherethey were taking the furniture.The people who were in the bakkiewent insidebefore themanstartedoff-loading and although Iwatched the bakkie for about 30minutes, they never came out.”
He claims that the vehicle wasseemingly also being used as a“family taxi service”.
“This is not right as all govern-ment employees are well awarethat state vehicles are not to beused for personal gain,” he says.
Provincial Community PoliceForum spokesperson, HaniefLoonat, says it’s “absolutely im-possible” that the furniture beingtransported was part of official po-lice duty.
“Theoffender shouldbebroughtto book because this is abuse of po-lice resources. What happened istotally unacceptable and stringentmeasures should be taken against
the culprit,” he says.The log books at the
station should also bechecked to ensure thatthe kilometres were re-corded and authorisa-tion was given, Loonat
continues.“It should be a cut-and-dry case.
Only a detective commander, visi-ble policing commander and sec-tor commander can hand over ve-hicles.
“The travelling distance will re-flect on the kilometre reader andthen the fingered official has toface the music.” He adds that po-lice management has to “ clampdown” on the abuse of their vehi-
cles as using state resources forprivate use is “common practice”.
Colonel Mary-Anne Williams,the station commissioner of Som-erset West police, says she will in-vestigate the matter.

Report graffitinow for cleanupTHE Protea subcouncil has allocat-
ed a generous portion of the annu-al ward allocation each year over thepast three years to support its graffitiremoval project and invites residentsto send in information about blightedsites.
Alderman Owen Kinahan, chairper-son of the Protea subcouncil, reports thatthere are funds available for the balanceof this financial year to tackle graffiti incouncil precincts and buildings such asparks, sub-stations, civic buildings andsubways.
This includes the area stretching fromMowbray in the north to Bergvliet in thesouth, bounded by the M5 and extendingto the ridge of the mountain (with the ex-ception of Mowbray above the railwayline).
This project is managed by U-Turn,which has also used it as a street peoplerehabilitation and job creation outlet.
Residents are also reminded that coun-cil has now promulgated its graffiti by-law, which makes it the responsibility ofthe owner of property to remove graffiti.
Kinahan notes that although some feelthat this is a harsh burden on homeow-ners, the provision was designed to dealwith large property owners such as theState and Metrorail, which, he says, ge-nerally have a poor track record of keep-ing their buildings graffiti-free.
“The only way to tackle the opportu-nistic vandalism of graffiti and taggingis to blot it out as soon as it is spotted.
“It does not have to be a perfect paintjob, merely a cancellation. These vandalsget a real fix out of seeing their handi-work in public spaces. The sooner it is
obliterated, the sooner they get the mes-sage that the community has no desireto look like a slum or a ghetto.
“It is entirely in the hands of the com-munity. A scruffy, down-at-heel precinctsends out a very strong message that itscommunity actually doesn’t care andthere is a direct correlation to anti-socialbehaviour and crime
“The new bylaw encourages propertyowners to prosecute those who damagetheir property.”
According to Kinahan it is a “myth”that tagging in the southern suburbs isthe work of “skollies”.
“Unfortunately bored teenagers(sometimes as old as 30) often from ourbest schools and with plenty of access tofunds, are very often the perpetrators ofthis mindless activity.
“Lest the ‘artistic expression’ lobbystarts tub-thumping, there is a provisionin the bylaw that accommodates themand indeed encourages genuine, highlyskilled mural work. All it takes is for acommunity to identify spaces that theyagree would be available for public art,and then anyone may put in a submis-sion to express themselves.
“The site is valid for a year and thenhas tobe restored for someoneelse touse.It’s a classic win-win,” he concludes.
Submissions should be sent to [email protected] orfaxed to 086 576 0693. Please give the exactlocation as well as your contact details.

Give value for moneyEXACTLY why the City Councildecided to table its draft budgeton the day the national budgetwas presented in Parliament isdifficult to understand.
Cynics would say it was a case ofdumping bad news on the publicwhile their attention was on PravinGordhan and the upheaval in NorthAfrica and the Middle East.
Bad news? Well, every single in-crease announced is above thepresent inflation rate – and thatmakes it bad news for most of us.On the other hand, it could havebeen worse, as the increases arecertainly lower than they were lastyear. But one would expect this tobe the case a few months before themunicipal elections.
My own view is that the City boss-es think they have done a good joband they certainly don’t see it asbad news. They just want to get itout of the way before the election-eering begins in earnest.
So let’s look at the facts. Rates areto go up by 5.9%. Electricity will goup by nearly 20%; water and sanita-tion charges will go up by 8% (and10% for each of the two years follow-ing the election) and refuse collec-tion fees will go up by 5.5%.
And the cost of running the City(the operating costs) will rise bymore than 12%.
All this while the current infla-tion rate is under 4%!
Last year we had a 14% increase
in operating expenditure; an aver-age increase of 24.6% in electricitytariffs; an 18% increase for refusecollection; a 10% increase for waterand sanitation and a theoretical9.3% increase on the average ratesbill.
So the budget may be less painfulthan last year’s one, but that is littlecause for comfort to people who donot get the kind of pay increases theCity Council has handed out in thelast few years.
Mr Gordhan told us in the nation-al budget that the cost of publicservice salaries has doubled in thelast five years. Whether or not mu-nicipal salaries were included is
uncertain, but municipal workersand councillors have done prettywell. Perhaps well enough to losetouch with the economic realitiesthat beset the rest of us.
While the private sector has hadto endure wage freezes, retrench-ments, reduced working hours forreduced wages and other desperatemeasures to survive the recession,the public service has prospered.The bitter irony is that the privatesector pays the taxes to keep thepublic services going in the style towhich they have become accus-tomed.
How much longer can we affordto finance these growing bureauc-racies that are not exactly noted fortheir productivity? Perhaps we arebetter off in Cape Town, but that isno reason to sit back and be satis-fied. There is every reason to de-mand greater efficiency and bettervalue for our money.

Drug death in ‘brothel’TAMMY PETERSEN
IN a neat, well maintained house in aquiet street in Ottery, a man died of a
suspected drug overdose on Tuesday, al-legedly surrounded by drug addicts andprostitutes.
The house in leafy Forest Hill Close, whichwas being rented to his girlfriend from thebeginning of the month, was under surveil-lance by the Lansdowne police for a week af-ter a tip-off pointed to it being used as a broth-el and drug den.
The 42-year-old, who was from Diep River,was declared dead at the scene and a post-mortem is being conducted to confirm thecause of death.
Warrant Officer Gregory Gray, who han-dles investigations at the station, says he re-ceived a tip-off two weeks ago from a localwho suspected that the house was being usedby sex workers.
“We started monitoring the activity at thepremises and a few days later, we receivedanother call from a concerned resident whofeared that drugs were being sold on the prop-erty.
“With these suspicions, we continued theobservations and planned an operation forFriday last week to search the house.”
It is understood that the house is on themarket as the home owner has relocated toLondon.
The property is being rented out by theagency handling the sale.
Gray says he was contacted on Tuesday af-ter the man’s body was found inside a bed-room.
“It is understood that the man’s girlfriendphoned an ambulance when she noticed thathe was not breathing. When an emergencyvehicle got there, he was declared dead at thescene by paramedics.”
However, he continues, one of the medicalteam reported that upon their arrival, agroup of people was seen fleeing the house,with most of them getting away in two cars.
“He suspected that they might have been
using drugs on the premises and a search wasconducted.
“Two large packages of mandrax mixedwith dagga were confiscated, as well as twobottlenecks which contained drug residue.”
When the woman was questioned, she de-nied having any knowledge of illegal sub-stances on the premises.
Gray adds that during the observations, acar belonging to a man believed to be in-volved in a drug and prostitution ring operat-ing from a Lansdowne house was also regu-larly seen parked at the premises.
Majidie Abrahams, the chairperson of theLansdowne Community Police Forum and al-so of the Ottery Civic Association, says themost important component needed to stop il-legal activities is more community involve-ment.
“People need to report their suspicions tothe authorities. If you see something strangehappening across the road from you, let thepolice know.
“If you sense that your neighbour might becommitting a crime from his property, speakout. There is a big difference between beinga busybody and protecting your neighbour-hood.”
Abrahams says people have to move pastthe misconception that criminals only oper-ate in “dilapidated houses with broken win-dows”.
“These things happen even in the most fan-cy homes. Criminals know how to mix inwith law-abiding citizens and sometimes ap-pear to be the most decent people. Don’t bescared to sound the alarm if something seemsout of place.”
He adds that he plans to initiate a discus-sion with the various law enforcement agen-cies to look at feasible solutions to a problemthat is “happening all over the precinct”.

Community Chest’s Carnivalcelebrates 60 years of funONE of Cape Town’s iconic events, the an-nual Community Chest Carnival, cele-brates its 60th anniversary this year.
It began as a theatrical gardenparty in 1951 and over the past sixdecades has evolved into a pageantof international food, local enter-tainment and family fun, which at-tracts more than 100 000 people overfour days.
But there’s a serious side to Car-nival. It raises funds for some 400social welfare organisations that the Com-munity Chest supports across the WesternCape.
“Carnival has always been an importantshowcase for the Community Chest, wherewe’re able to engage the public about thework we do. It’s also one of our significantfundraising events, where people can com-bine having a good time with helping a goodcause,” says Community Chest CEO, Amelia
Jones.Carnival runs from Wednesday 2 March
until Saturday 5 March at MaynardvillePark, Wynberg. It is made possible by the ef-
forts of some 7 000 volunteers whodonate their time and skills to en-sure that each year’s event is bet-ter than the previous one.
As well as the varied interna-tional food stalls, there will beplenty of entertainment, includ-ing live music. This year there isa particular focus on children and
families.For more information phone (021) 762-4690

FIRST there were “palm-tree” cellphonemasts in the middle of nowhere. Now cel-lular network, Vodacom, is installingcellphone masts inside the minarets ofmosques.
Already cellphone masts have been in-stalled in mosques in Pelican Heights and
Delft. If everything goes according toplan, the Al-Masjiduth Thaalith Mosquein Beacon Valley will be next in line.
The minaret was chosen because, at 22metres, it is the highest point in BeaconValley.
In earlier years minarets were used to
make announcements and call worship-pers to prayer. In the past the imam phys-ically stood in these structures, callingpeople to prayers.
Today many mosques use a sound sys-tem, where the speakers are placed in theminaret.
Golden educationSOME Western Cape educators have been re-warded for education excellence over theweekend – deservedly so.
Among them are Norman Henshilwoodprincipal David Millar, who won the NationalTeacher’s Award in the category Leadershipin Excellence in a secondary school, and Sur-rey Estate Primary School principal, ImtiazAdams, who was chosen Western Cape provin-cial winner in the category Leadership in Ex-cellence in a primary school.
Their achievements are phenomenal, giventhe countless challenges modern-day teachingpresents. Topmost is technology, providing en-tertainment and information-on-tap, and ar-resting pupils’ attention. They are also spoiltfor choice by the world-wide web, which spellsgood news for distance learning, but does notbode well for traditional classroom education.Also in contrast to traditional education isOutcomes Based Education.
Worst, though, is the scourge of gangsterismand drugs in some city schools, which detractsfrom learning, making educators’ jobs fearfuland stressful.
It is fitting that education is a human right,as enshrined in our constitution and so keythat Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has al-located more than R189 billion to the sector for2011-12. While government chalks up billionsof rands and resources to education, and edu-cators honour their roles, the commitmentthat matters most is that of pupils.
Measuring commitment is difficult, but thefacts speak. Yesterday was World Maths Day,but our nation had little to celebrate as 70%of matrics who wrote mathematics last yearfailed the subject, which is a requirement formost jobs.
That said, it is inspiring to read stories likethat of Johanna Barnes who, at 74, was the old-est candidate last year to write Adult Basic Ed-ucation and Training (ABET) exams.
Since 2006, gutsy Barnes has been intent ongetting her General Education and TrainingCertificate – and she’s only one mathematicsliteracy exam away from realising her dream.Her journey has been fraught with challenges,and continues to be. For her, education maybe a human right, but not strictly an entitle-ment. Where to from here?

Yes, the move to the shelter was a big stepfor us; not knowing what to expect, an un-known, unfamiliar place, but it changed ourlives for the good.
We’ve all had counselling, which we reallyneeded. I, myself, have been empoweredwith a lot of skills.
I attended workshops, support groups andmany more to make me assertive and pre-pare myself for a better future.
I am very grateful and thankful for all thatopportunities. I stayed in the shelter for fourmonths, after which I applied for secondstage.
That was a great achievement for me, al-though I knew it was just for a certain periodof time.
My great concern now is my time at theshelter is long overdue.I am unemployed andneed accommodation.
I’ve got nowhere to go, no family supportand the question I ask myself: “Where tofrom here?”The government supports us inmany ways, having shelters available with
very good services, counselling, workshopsetc. but where they fail us is when it comesto leaving the shelter.
Yes, you’ve been empowered but it’s diffi-cult to get a job. So how can you afford ahouse if you are not financially stable?
Are you forced to go back to your abuser/perpetrator or are you going from one shel-ter to another?
They become diffident because their life isunstable and that causes them to have a lowself-esteem. Is that what we as moms want?No.
We’ve come so far, and I mean, every par-ent has this dream all the time, because itdoesn’t mean because you were abused youmust stop dreaming. I’ve seen many clientsthat I befriend, come back after a few monthsof going through the same abuse, becausethey were forced to go back.
What’s the use of having all the servicesavailable but there’s no happily ever after?I want to appeal to government, please notto stop at shelters.
We need to know: “Where to from here?”If anybody can assist me with a job or accom-modation please contact me on 078 145 2453.TÈCHIAH SEPTEMBERAthlone
Stop prostitutionWHY is nothing being done about theprostitution in the Lansdowne andWetton area? The police seem to behelpless.
When you drive through Constantiayou don’t see so much as a vagrantalong the road. I ask myself with tearsin my eyes why Lansdowne is beingturned into a brothel. That’s exactlywhat’s happening. Girls stand on eve-ry street corner selling their bodies.The ladies of the area should start tak-ing stock and not walk around withtheir heads buried in the sand. It couldso easily be your husbands and boy-friends who are picking up these girlsof ill-repute. Where oh where are ourcommunity leaders? Have they all be-come chicken-livered? Drunk driversare being named and shamed. Whatabout these middle aged men who pickup these young girls and pay for sexualfavours?PATRICK ABRAHAMSLansdowne

The Pinelands I knewREADING the letter “Ode to Pinelands” bySeamus B Gorragh (People’s Post, 15 Febru-ary) reminded me of the “Pinelands” of longago.
On calm warm evenings my father woulddrive my mother, sister and me to a pine for-est near Mowbray, where I was born.
These wonderful peaceful evenings wouldbe very quiet and special – we’d cross intothe forest over a low railway line, checkingvery carefully both sides in case of a locomo-tive train.
Then my father drove down an unmaderoad – later Forest Drive – and we wouldpark on the side of this road to watch.
Everything was peaceful when suddenly arabbit would hop into the fine opening; thenanother came and later, in a further distant
sandy opening, one or two buck appeared.Some birds were twittering in the pine
trees as darkness came on – silence, peacewould prevail.
Suddenly an owl would fly overhead andits call could be heard.
My parents taught us to love all animalsand the correct way to treat the wild too, in-cluding snakes.
My father always said: “We are trespass-ing in their home and land.”
So I knew “Pinelands” a very long time ago– when there was, at one time, one little cot-tage nestling in the pine forest on the left-hand side of the only road.
These were beautiful days in my youth.BETTY DWIGHTMowbray
Don’t criticise from sidelinesI WOULD like to respond to Mr VincentBarry’s letter in the People’s Post on Tues-day 22February,wherehe refers to theCPFClaremont as “a tea party”.Mr Barry, who claims to be everythingfrom a diesel mechanic to an expert in townplanning, should rather uphold theseclaims and refrain from discussing CPFmatters, which he knows absolutely noth-ing about. He himself mentioned that he“heard” the information that he was refer-ring to and in future he should keep his let-ter writing to the newspapers, which he be-lieves he is now an expert at, to the factsand not on hearsay.
His ignorance is blatantly shown in thearticle when he refers to guard huts in Gib-
son Road, which do not even fall under theClaremont CPF’s jurisdiction.
It falls under the Wynberg CPF.Instead of being an idle critic he
should rather become involved with hissubforum branch of the CPF so that he canmake qualified comments.
Mr Maydon, the chairperson of theClaremont CPF, quite rightly said thatthere are dedicated volunteers who areworking very hard in the CPF Claremontand I would like Mr Barry to refrainfrom trying to undermine the good workthat is being done with his ridiculous,inaccurate, rumour spreading.TOM CRAFFORDProjects coordinator, Claremont CPF
Please help MusaMY little friend, Musa, who lives in RR Sec-tion of Site B in Khayelitsha, has beenturned away from the school where he wasregistered to start thisyear – NoluthandoSchool.
I am not sure of the rea-sons forhimbeing turnedaway, as his mother’sEnglish is not too goodand my Xhosa needs a lotof practice.
Is it because he is onlyfour and turning five inApril? Is it because hedoes not talk and is nottoilet-trained yet? Is it because he is possiblyautistic?
His father showed me the report from theRed Cross Children’s Hospital, that states hehas a neurological problem but they do notknow the exact problem. Is it not usual fortests to be done to ascertain the problem and
treat it or is it not important as his parentsdo not have money?
He is hyperactive and inquisitive. He doesnot always maintain eye con-tact or listen – I have foundthat by spending time withhim, talking to him and ex-plaining things, he reacts andtries to make sounds to com-municate.
Does he not deserve achance at a pre-primary leveland a chance to be assessed fora normal future? Where canhis parents turn for this?
If anyone is able to advise orsuggest a school they can access for Musa,I would appreciate it. If anyone is able to as-sess his condition too, that would be great.I am not a doctor, but I believe he is capable,and just needs the chance.NOMVUYO (JM HOUSDON)Clovelly

TOOTH WHITENINGTooth whitening is the least invasive cosmetic procedure offered by dentists, as it requires no reshaping and restorative interventions (veneers,crowns, composites). Discolouration from years of exposure to coffee, tea, wine, spices, sodas and other unsightly stains can be removed quickly,safely and with minimal discomfort.Teeth darken and stain, due to the porous nature of tooth enamel. Staining products find their way into the deeper enamel layers. They are harm-less but unattractive. Tooth whiteners are chemicals that penetrate the enamel and through oxidization break down the staining compounds.Tooth whitening, by law, is only allowed to be done by people trained in oral health care, i.e. dentist and oral hygienists. Any other people provid-ing it are doing it illegally. It is advisable to have the teeth professionally cleaned and all tooth restorations checked before having the whiteningdone. A good scale and polish will ensure that the gums are not bleeding, healthy and firm. Bleeding gums are inflamed due to rock hard plaqueunder the gummargins and these deposits need to be removedwith special instruments. This debridement is called a scale and polish or prophy-laxis and is the only way unhealthy gum can be treated and cured. Mouth rinses and tooth brushing are routine daily care and need to besupported by professional biannual prophylaxis. Tooth whitening should precede any other dental restorative work, because tooth colouredrestorations do not lighten with carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide.Tooth whitening is safe and in lower concentrations does not damage enamel. Higher concentration may temporarily weaken enamel, but oncethe procedure is over, this can be compensated with fluoride gel applications that strengthen enamel. Other temporary side effects are gumirritation and sensitivity, which reverse once whitening is stopped.

Tough tussle awaits StormersStormersTASMIN CUPIDO
IT WILL be a battle up frontwhen the DHL Stormers take onthe Toyota Cheetahs in the thirdround of the 2011 Super Rugbycompetition at DHL Newlands onSaturday afternoon.
And despite the Stormers manag-ing to pip the Lions 19-16 in theiropening match last weekend, Al-lister Coetzee and his team willneed to focus on getting the team towork as a unit.
A “rusty” and unorganised dis-play of rugby was produced by theStormers in the first half, with JohnMitchell’s men surprising the menfrom the Cape with a fast and at-tacking game plan.
Leading 9-8 athalf-time,withonlyLions’ centre Waylon Murray hav-ing visited behind the tryline andall the Stormers points comingfrom the boot of flyhalf Gary vanAswegen, the Stormers returned tothe field without their gutsy leaderSchalk Burger, who suffered a blowto his knee during the first half.
Pieter Louw replaced Burger andwas influential throughout thematch, tackling like a demon, domi-nating at the breakdown, scoringthe men in navy blue’s only try and
calling the shots in the battle be-tween the loose forwards.
But the Lions showed heart anddetermination, with the match fin-ishing four minutes into injurytime. They set up more than 15phases from the Stormers’ 22, in anattempt score a try and break thehearts of the Stormers and theirfans. But the Stormers managed tosteal the ball in the loose with awobbly Dewaldt Duvenhage passbeing kicked over the sideline byfullback, Conrad Jantjes.
And coach Coetzee was the firstto admit that his team did not playto their full potential.
“I am happy with the win. Onecan rectify mistakes and system er-rors, but you cannot coach guts,never giving up and refusal to be de-feated,” he said after the match.
“Derbys are tough and we didwell to hold them out. It’s difficultto bye in the first week of the compe-tition. We looked rusty, but when itmattered, we pulled through. Theteam has matured and gained a lotof experience.”
And that experience will have tobe proved against the Cheetahs onSaturday.
The men from Bloemfontein wereunlucky to lose 23-25 to the Voda-com Bulls at home last Friday
evening, after leading 23-8 at half-time. In the process, they also lostcaptain Juan Smith, who suffered atorn Achilles tendon and is in doubtfor the rest of the season. However,his replacement, Ashley Johnson,reigned supreme in the company ofbig names such as Pierre Spies, De-on Stegmann and Dewald Potgieter.He was awarded the man of thematch award in the end.
Johnson, originally from theCape, will be looking to show hisworth to Cheetahs coach NakaDrotské, by building on last week’sperformance.
Flanker Kabamba Floors also im-pressed on defence, while the al-ways-grinding tight five gave theplayers in the Bulls engine room arun for their money.
If the Stormers want to secure thewin and an invaluable home bonuspoint, they have to revert to the run-ning rugby their supporters be-came accustomed to last year.While the forwards have been se-curing possession in the loose, theball seems to be dying in the back-line.
Perhaps backline coach, RobbieFleck, should consider selectingstar prospect Juan de Jongh at cen-tre, breaking the conventionalSpringbok centre pairing of Jean de
Villiers and Jaque Fourie.De Jongh was instrumental in the
Stormers’ road to the final last year,also getting a Springbok call up. Heimpressed when he was brought on
in the last 20 minutes and his agilityand attacking and defensive play,as well as his ability to step, ismissed in a rather one-dimensionalStormers outfit.
BRIAN GAFFNEY
THE Baseball Association of Western Prov-ince (BAWP) and the WP Softball Federation(WPSF) are engaged in a tense stand-off thathas cooled the good vibes between these one-time close associates.
What is upsetting the WPSF officials is thata revised BAWP fixture programme clasheswith the forthcoming National ProvincialTournament (NPT) for softballers – and thatthreatens to deplete the provincial men’s soft-ball squad.
So much so that several top base-ballers – who are also members of men’s soft-ball clubs in the WPSF – have with-drawn from the WP squad that will partici-pate in the NPT in Tshwane from 17 – 21March.
The problem is that they have committed
themselves to the BAWP Major League com-petition that climaxes on the weekend 19-20March – despite the softball officials callinga meeting with their baseball counterparts inan attempt to resolve the impasse in mid-Feb-ruary.
One of the pressing concerns for the WPSFthat came to light in a Softball South Africa(SSA) media release on Wednesday 23 Febru-ary, is that the men’s softballers who havewithdrawn from the WP squad “will lose theopportunity to to represent their country” inthe 2013 World Championships scheduled forNew Zealand.
According to the SSA, the training squadfor the championship will be selected at thenational provincial tournament in Tshwane.
The players who have withdrawn includeSA baseball pitcher Carl Michaels, TyroneBrandt, Lloyd Stevens, Leon Dodgen, David-
Lee Alexander, Nigel Kerchhoff, Faizel Moo-sa and Che Adams from the title-chasing Ath-lone Athletics Baseball Club.
They are all members of the HamiltonsMen’s Softball Club, with the exception ofDodgen and Alexander, who represent Dev-onshire.
Greg Lendis, the president of the BAWP,said his management committee – compris-ing the chairpersons of all clubs – were“unanimous in its decision against postpon-ing fixtures (19 and 20 March), as this was thelast week available to complete the leagueprogramme”.
The other contentious issue raised in themedia release from SSA vice-president NooreNacerodien, is that Hamiltons were unable tofield a team against arch rivals Pirates – ina knockout semi-final on Sunday 6 Februarydue to BAWP fixturing matches for the sameday.
But Lendis said that blame should not belaid entirely at baseball’s door. “It must be
noted that theWPSFdidnot informusof theirfixtures as well as the provincial champion-ship”.
“We serve our players and they have thechoice to participate in any sport that theywish to do,” said Lendis.
Denise Paulsen, the president of the WPSF,saidyesterday shewashopeful her federationcould persuade BAWP officials to changetheir stance on the matter at an urgent meet-ing later this week.
“Softball and baseball do not need to be atloggerheads. We need to work together in thebest interest of our members,” said Paulsen.
What influences the Athlone Athletics’baseballers’ commitment to their club mostis that Athletics are close to regaining the Ma-jor League title they last won in the 1995/96season.
Another incentive for Michaels and compa-ny is that the SA Baseball Union (SABU) hasbeen invited to participate to two major inter-national events within the next three years.
