Fence gaps invite crimeTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Members of the BKM Neigh-bourhood Watch fromBergvliet says the missing
fence along the railway line has be-come a cause of concern as it is pos-ing a safety risk.
The members say because of themissing fence it has become easyfor criminals to commit crimesand get away through the brokenfencing. They believe this wouldn’t
be happening if Metrorail fencedall the areas.
In an effort to make sure thatthere is no easy route for criminalsto get away they have been in con-tact with Metrorail, but nothinghas come of it. They have had meet-ings but all they get is promise aft-er promise whilst crime is gettingout of hand in the area.
Last year they had a meetingwith Metrorail, which told themthe tender went out in October. ButMetrorail was audited towards the
end of last year, which halted anyfurther progress in this matter.
However, those at the meetingwere told a contractor had been ap-pointed for the work but that itwould take at least a month forthem to be approved and to com-plete this work.
Once this approval was granted,it would take about two weeks toget started. But up to now they arestill waiting and for them it feelsthey are waiting in vain.
Brian Wilkinson, chairperson of
the BKM Neighbourhood Watch,says its unacceptable that crime isgetting out of hand whilst Metro-rail sits and does nothing.
“Crime is rampant in these areaswithout proper fencing; those liv-ing along the lines are being target-ed daily. A lot of other people areusing the gaps or openings whichmight result in serious accidents.
“This is unacceptable in view ofthe fact that the community’s safe-ty is at risk. Recently we had an in-cident where the perpetrator es-
caped across the railway line andvanished. We don’t want a very se-rious incident to take place beforethis work is attended to,” saysWilkinson.
Stuart Buckley, chairperson ofSimta Village Home Owners’ Asso-ciation, laments the state of the sta-tion. “There is human waste lyingaround everywhere. The stinkalong our boundary is unbearable,people are just urinating every-where they feel like it.V Continued on page 2.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL
Life’s passion found on Fan WalkTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
“Dancing is my life. I even have a tattooabout dance because this is one thing
that I’m very passionate about.”This is what Kurt Palmer (20) from Steen-
berg says. Palmer realised his dream whenhe started dancing in front of a huge crowdof spectators at Cape Town Carnival fiveyears ago. He has since developed thisdream into a passion and today, he is a leadperformeratCapeTownCarnival and chore-ographs routines for the community groupof Steenberg High School – which is whereit all started.Palmer has been dancing for the past 11
years, startingwith ballet in primary schooland then joining Steenberg High’s commu-nity group. This was where he ended up per-forming on a public platformand discoveredthat it was something that he would like todo for the rest of his life.
“I have always known my passion in lifewas dancing, ever since my first perform-ance. When I have to change into characterit feels basically like I’m starting a new life,opening my body and mind to new thingsthat will tell a story.”
Despite now doing what he loves, Palmersays that it has never been an easy journey:“One of the challenges I had to overcome asa teenager was the bullying and negativityby pupils at my school but I always made away to overcome them.
“Coming from disadvantaged communi-ties it was even difficult to go to rehearsalbecause of criminal activities. Getting fromone place to another was a struggle but Iknew this is what I wanted to do so I had toface the struggles head on. One of the great-estmotivations I hadwasmy life orientation
teacher in matric, Ms Priestley, who alwayshad confidence in me and helped me out inmy dance career.”Palmer has seen the value Cape TownCar-
nival has brought to the many participantsand spectators. “Because of our performan-
ces in Cape TownCarnival, we have had per-formances at the Baxter festival and theCape Arts festival.
“This helped to shape the person I am to-day. I really enjoy dancing. When I have alleyes on me it really makes it easy for me to
do my thing and I want to give people thebest,” he says.In its seventh year, Palmer says the theme
for this year’s Cape Town Carnival is goingto be a show stopper.
“Well, ‘Street Life’ is definitely going to bemy favourite; it is something new and it isvery different. It is difficult to saythough ... each year brings its own pizzazz.
“I amsoexcited to takepart in the carnivalthis year, my body is dancing to the rhythmof ‘Street Life’,” he says.His wish is to work with the Cape Town
Carnival: “One of my biggest dreams is tobecome a part of the team that creates CapeTown Carnival, to showcase and show offCape Town in different ways. Each personbrings his own flavour to the parade. CapeTown is full of colour and culture and eachperson brings his own uniqueness.”This year the carnival promises to be even
more dynamic, with comedian Siv Ngesiparticipating for his third year and other lo-cal personalities like Liezel van der West-huizen, Zoe Brown and Danny Ross joiningthe parade.It will be held on the Fan Walk of Green
Point on 12 March. Visitors will have thefreedom of the city streets from 15:00 as theyjoin family and friends to enjoy the varietyof food and crafts on offer.
The streetswill be closed for final prepara-tions at 18:00, giving carnival-goers enoughtime to find the perfect viewing spot, findtheir seats or make their way to one of themany restaurants along theFanWalk beforethe magic begins at 19:00.V For more information on the Cape Town Carnival,visit www.capetowncarnival.com, the TheCapeTown-Carnival page on Facebook or follow @CTCarnival onTwitter or @capetowncarnival on Instagram and usethe hashtag #CTCarnival2016 and #StreetLife.
Kurt Palmer of Steenberg enjoys being a dancer. His biggest achievement is performing at theCape Town Carnival which he enjoys a lot.

Buckley further says drug dealing happenson a number of occasions. “We have report-ed this matter on many occasions. I amaware that a tender has been put out to havethe problem solved but this has been likethis for the whole year.“We have been struggling with this prob-
lem for a long time.Residents have evenhadtheir washing stolen off their lines, and peo-ple are coming onto our properties from thestation platform,” he says.Riana Scott, Metrorail spokesperson,
says the company acknowledges the resi-dents’ concerns about crime.Police must be involved as the primary
crime-fighting force. The rail system doesnot function in isolation, it bears the bruntof displaced crime in the adjoining areas,she says.Crime is on the increase in general and
areas around stations and railway lines areunfortunately not exempted from this.Criminal elements have been known to ac-cess private property via public areas and
generally residents are responsible for se-curing their own premises.Metrorail does its utmost to replace or
mend fencing as soon as it is damaged, butonly if it has the budget to do this.She explains that the purpose of railway
fencing is to primarily demarcate bounda-ries and fencing will not deter wilful entry.In many instances the fencing is still ser-
viceable for its intended purpose. Fencing
replacement and repairs are planned andprioritised on a yearly basis and depends onurgency or necessity. Due to the vastness ofthe area and resources available, replace-ment or repair has to be prioritised againstother pressing and equally valid projects.“A contract has been let to fence the area
in question and the process will commenceas soon as all supply chain processes havebeen complied with,” she says.

@LouNotes
A Cape Town musician is stillgiddy after experiencing the
Grammy Awards last week.Constantia’s Brenton Brown,
who now lives in the United States,was nominated in the category forContemporary Christian MusicPerformance/Song for his song“Soul on Fire”.The song is performed by Third
Day featuring All Sons & Daugh-ters.Brown says he found out about
his nomination when Third Daysinger Mac Powell sent him anSMS saying: “See you at the Gram-mys!”Brown describes “Soul on Fire”
as averypersonal song.He tookhisinspiration for the track from apassage in the New Testament.Brown,whowrites formanymu-
sicians, was nominated alongsideone of his own role models Toby-Mac.
Brown describes his Grammyexperience asbeinga lot like awed-ding day and says he couldn’t havedone it without his wife Jude. “Ittakes a lot of people to put a mon-key into space and we had somearound us making sure we got ev-erything done right.”“Walking the red carpet was sur-
real and having so many photogra-phers shouting and instructingloudly was nuts, but everyone wassweet and kind.”Some of his highlights of the
evening were seeing LadysmithBlack Mambazo and Neville Died-ricks’s names on screen and bump-ing into acts like Imagine Dragons,Russell Simmons, TobyMac “andthe crew from Passion who hadjust returned from Cape Town andPretoria”.Brown, who was a head boy at
Sacs, studied at UCT and OxfordUniversity before obtaining a di-ploma in Theology.He moved to the US mostly be-
cause “I fell in love with a group of
friends inMalibu andwanted to dolife with them”.Also, thanks to his father Bill, he
grew up listening to Americanmu-sic. “He was piping the countrymusic greats tome from very earlyon.”His work is heavily influenced
by his family. Later this year he’llbe travelling to Africa to visit thechurches his grandfather andmother helped start 80 years ago.Besides releasing songswithoth-
er artists, Brown has five solo al-bums and is looking to record anew one in the next year, but hisfocus right now is on “Soul onFire”.V For more information visit www.brenton-brown.com.

Cyclists and pedestrians can start usingthe south side of Chapman’s Peak Drive
again.Restrictions were imposed on cyclists
and pedestrians after massive fires acrossthe Cape Peninsula inMarch last year. Thefires destroyed the vegetation above theroad and increased the risk of rock andstone falls to an unacceptable level.Almost ayear later, thevegetationhas re-
covered sufficiently to have stabilised theslope. Entilini Operations, the companythat holds themanagement concession, hasinstalled fine mesh fences to stop smallrocks and stones from falling onto the road.Although the safety hazard has reduced
sufficiently for the road to be opened to cy-clists and pedestrians, Chapman’s PeakDrive will always be prone to rock falls.Standard road closure procedures will beapplied whenever there is a safety hazard,including car crashes and extremeweatherconditions.“Chappies” is one of themost popular cy-
cling routes in Cape Town. It has been frus-trating for cyclists to have to turn back atthe lookoutpoint.Therehavebeenmore cy-clists on Constantia Nek, Ou Kaapse Weg,False Bay Main Road and Boyes Drive asriders used other routes around the Penin-sula.RobertVogel, CEOof thePedal PowerAs-
sociation, says the additional safety meas-ures are greatly appreciated.“We are very pleased that Chapman’s
Peak Drive is once again open to cyclists,as this is the premier training route for theupcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour. Cyclistswant to train on the actual race route asmuch as possible,” he says.Motoristsmay not passwithin 1mof a cy-
clist. Cyclistsmust ride in single file. Beingconsiderate is an essential part of sharingthe road and enhancing the safety of allroad users.

Pupils taught good habitsTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Grade 7 pupils of Ottery Road MethodistPrimary School in Wynberg were taken
on a roller coaster journey of learning re-cently whilst the Grade 6 pupils weretrained in the areas of memory, languageand numeracy.Pupils were engaged in interactive chal-
lenges to encourage thedevelopment of theirnew-found skills during a programme pro-vided by Bradley de Kock, founder of B-AllTraining Academy.Emphasis was placed on developing and
cultivating good school habits, such as read-ing daily, learning new words, listening at-tentively and most of all finding ways tomake learning fun as well as to rememberwhat is taught.Teachers at the school say pupils need pro-
grammes like these to re-enforce what theyteach in the classroom. Having additionalclasses for pupils makes it easier for boththemand the teacherswhen theycover theseconcepts in the curriculum so that it doesnot seem all that foreign.The highlight of the entrepreneurship
training was making the pupils understandthe importance of entrepreneurship in thecontext of creating jobs by reducing unem-ployment so that theycanhelp create agrow-ing economy.Pupils were excited about the different
way of learning offered during the pro-
gramme. De Kock says the programmemakes learning very easy.“It’s an easy way of learning. One has to
make it in a way that they remember it. Weteach them a lot of things. Above all wewantit to stick in their heads so that they pass.I’m glad they enjoy it,” he says.De Kock goes around schools giving train-
ing in memory, numeracy, language, team-
building and entrepreneurship.“I do a lot of this around schools as well
as holiday programmes. I don’t want peopleto fail. I make learning fun. Each day all Ithink about is how to engagewith pupils andmake them rememberwhat theywere learn-ing. I know how it is to fail and I try by allmeans to help. This is also my way of givingback to the communities.”
Grade 7 pupils of Ottery Road Methodist Primary School received a lesson by Bradley de Kock,founder of B-All Training Academy, recently.

When they put their red jackets on, servicedogs Shyann and Philippe know they’reworking.For these dogs, working usually involves
helping their physically disabled or chal-lenged owners carry out day-to-day tasks,such as going to the shop. Sometimes itmeans making friends with neighbours toeducate them about service dogs and disa-bilities. On occasion, it means simply pro-viding comfort and companionship to theirowners.But Shyann and Philippe have been even
more busy than usual, as they help their re-spective owners, Dawn Pilatowicz and Jan-ice Salthouse, plan the annual “Love yourguide dog” fundraising event.All proceeds go to the South African
Guide Dog Association, which trained Shy-ann and Philippe.The association breeds and trains dogs to
help blind and disabled people. Some dogsalso socialise with autistic children.Each dog spends a year being raised by
a foster family, where they are taught to so-cialise and function in public as well as fol-low a set of basic commands.They then return to the association’s
kennels,where theyare trained for a specif-ic individual, his disability and his needs.Shyann, a golden Labrador, was trained
tohelpPilatowicz –whoneeds awheelchairto get around – by picking up things shedrops. Philippe, the first poodle service dogin the country, helps Salthouse balance.“Dogs open doors. People talk to you in-

two. Before that, Pilatowicz had beenhousebound because she relied on awalkeror wheelchair to go out.“When you’re in a wheelchair, you be-
come invisible. People look at and talk tothe person pushing the wheelchair, not toyou. It’s like I don’t have a brain, when ac-tually I just can’t walk,” she says.But all that changed with Shyann.“I needed to take her for a daily walk, so
I got an electric wheelchair. I lived in myneighbourhood for 20 years and didn’tknowanyone before. Now, everyone knowsShyann.”With the boost of confidence, Salthouse

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:WYNBERGThursday 3 March 2016
The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the Wynberg water supply zone on Thursday 3 March 2016.
This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.
The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.
For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.
Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.
The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz
There was a buzz in the hall of BlackpoolSports Complex in Salt River on Satur-
day when more than 500 former residentsof District Six gathered for a gala lunch.They were the guests of the District 6
Working Committee which hosted theevent in commemoration of the 50th anni-versary of 11 February 1966, when the areawas proclaimed a white area.For many bittersweet memories were
raised as they met up with former friendsand neighbours and shared their stories oftheir lives in the far-flung suburbs towhich they were moved.Most of the area is still bare as ongoing
plans for restitution are still discussed, butfor most of these former residents theirheartache is still here. They all feel that thespirit of this vibrant communitywill neverbe regained.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the com-
mittee, felt the gala lunch was a special oc-casion because all the invited guests camefrom different historically disadvantagedcommunitieswhowerepreviously affectedby apartheid and forced removals.“We hosted this event in remembrance
of the lives and livelihoodswhichwere lostthrough the forced removals of yester-year,” he said.“Forced removals changed the course of
the lives of thousands of people,when fami-lies were relocated to the treacherous andbarren Cape Flats.“We have recently formed a strategic
partnership with the District 6 Museumwith the goal of helping people find waysto move past the pain, so that they can livemore fulfilling lives.“We are working to ensure that people
realise their worth once again and to moreactively contribute towards nation build-ing in this beautiful country of ours.”
Umbrella bodyTheWorkingCommittee (D6WC) is a res-
titution group which started in 2013 froman estimated 1000 frustrated people whodidn’t claim for restitution before the firstofficial cut-off date between 1995 and 1998,andwhowere not recognised as eligible forrestitution.D6WC also acts as the umbrella for all
restitution organisations in the WesternCape and assists many restitution commu-nity organisations from areas such asNdabeni, Claremont, Constantia, Wyn-
berg, Newlands, Simon’s Town, Pinelandsand Goodwood.Listening to some of the conversations at
the tables while lunch was being served itwas clear that the memories were stillstrong after 50 years.Mogamat Salie Williams felt that one of
themost powerful aspects thatmade the ar-ea special was the respect and love for allreligions and the different churches.“My family lived inRichmondStreet and
I attended the Moravian School and grewup in that church,” he says.“We attended mosque but the school and
church were important to our family andthe education of the community.“When it was Easter we painted the
church, cleaned it and I even sang in thechoir sometimes. When it came to bazaartime all the churches and mosques sup-ported each other.“That is the spirit that they can never
bring back.”Rashieda Essop, originally from Chapel
Street, had recently moved back to the ar-ea. She was discussing her experienceswith Abdulgamied “Tommy” Hartley andhis wife Gadija who used to live in SydneyStreet.“I miss the open doors in our neighbour-
hood,” says Rashieda.“If you needed help no door was ever
closed to you. You knew if you gave some-body help this week, next week they wouldbe able to help you.“The saddest day for me was when our
neighbours had to move to Gugulethu. Myfather helped them organise a bakkie andhe cried when he saw where they weremoving to.”TheHartleys also have fondmemories of
the area.“There are just so many stories of the
good times we had there. Yes, people werepoor, but they still had pride and respectfor each other,” he said.“Of course there was crime, even gangs,
but these were different kind of gangsters.They were naughty but never nasty orwanting to destroy the community.”These are just some of the stories that
were shared at this gathering, and as theafternoon wore on there were more smilesthan tears.For many old friendships were renewed
and there is hope for a new generation tomove into the area and rekindle that spiritof the old District Six.V For more information about the working commit-tee contact Ajam on 076 665 6224.

Learn the local seas at clubhouseLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
Did you know that the fountainat the end of Adderley Street
used to be at the end of the har-bour’s pier? How about the factthat the harbour’s current contain-er basin was built using sandpumped from Flamingo Vlei?
These are just some of the factsyou’ll learn during a short visit tothe Ship Society of South Africa.
Focused on preserving the mari-time heritage of Cape Town, the so-ciety has become a place for people
interested in the shipping world toshare and learn.
The society’s chairperson, Ge-orge Hendrie, explains that thegroup was started in 1953.
The society slowly evolved untilthe 1970s when it became instru-mental in saving the Waterfront’sClock Tower, which was the socie-ty’s museum.
While the maritime museum,which used to be in the buildingwhere the Waterfront’s Watershedis now, was closed down some timeago, the society’s clubhouse in theharbour, opposite the cruise termi-
nal, houses boat models, postersand maritime literature fromaround the world.
Only one of its models is housedat the Maritime Centre in the oldUnion Castle building.
Many of the models were madeby shipping companies.
“Quite a few of these started outlife in shop windows for the travelagents in the old days.”
Many Ship Society members,like Hendrie himself, are formerseamen, but others haven’t been to
sea.“They’re just interested in ships
and shipping; that’s what it’s allabout.”
The members meet every Thurs-day evening for screenings of mari-time documentaries and films andonce a month they try to present aguest speaker. Visitors are wel-come to join in at a cost of R25.
Occasionally the society arran-ges ship visits – from cruise linersto dredgers. They even visitedCape Town International Airport’s
control tower recently.The clubhouse is also open on
Saturdays from 16:00, when visi-tors can come and chat to the mem-bers and learn more about CapeTown’s shipping world. Hendriesays he’d prefer maritime enthusi-asts to see what they do before sign-ing up as a member.V For more information contact Hendrie on072 647 7944 or [email protected] orPat Downing on 072 603 5904,021 557 5519 or [email protected].

EDUCATION
Good studentto greatFebruary has arrived, and parents arebreathing a huge sigh of relief – exams areover, for now, children are registered andthe academic year has begun.Routine has established itself, with early
rising, treasure hunts for clean schoolshirts and finger-waving exercises in themorning traffic. Now is the time to settlethe household. Balancing life, work and ex-tramural activities is no easy task.Yes, the social and soft skills we gain
from teamwork in sports and extramuralactivities doplay avital role in our develop-ment as fully rounded, well-adjusted, pro-ductive and caring contributors to ourworld, but we must prioritise academics.There is so much value in teaching our
children how to cope with the demands ofschool, authority, routine and exams. Isn’tthat what we deal with on a daily basis atwork? We have to arrive on time; we haveprojects to complete and deadlines to meet.How do you cope? Well, you’ve employed
life skills and coping strategies which youhave learnt through a mentor, if you werelucky enough, or through trial and error,invariably through life’s knocks andbumps.Life lessons start in the home. Sowhy not
instil some strategies that will help yourchildrenmanage their time and reduce dai-ly stress in their lives and yours? Here area few well-tried suggestions.1:Breakfast: themost importantmeal of
the day. If you are fortunate enough to beable to provide a solid breakfast beforeyour child goes to school, do so. It will helpwith concentration and energy levelsthroughout the day.2: Time management and planning:
get organised. Between homework, testsand extracurricular activities, it is all tooeasy for things to slip through the cracks.A planner can help your child keep every-thing organised. Students should writedownassignments, appointments and to-dolists. Ask him to review items in the plan-ner at both the beginning and endof the dayto stay on track. Learning to allocate andmanage time effectively is one of the bestrecipes for anyone’s success.3: Designate a study area. Studying in
front of the TVwon’t be the best use of yourchild’s time. Help your child by providinga quiet, well-lit, low-traffic space for study.Take it one step further and institute a“communications blackout” policywith nocellphones or messaging allowed untilschoolwork is done.4: App tip: embrace and make technolo-
gy work for you. Any.do helps organiseyour tasks and keeps your academic life inone place. Students can use the app to cap-ture ideas and to-do lists and to collaboratewith classmates. Parents can use it to keepfamily projects on track.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

‘Horrified’ at schoolexam conditionsOn Friday 12 February I had theunfortunate experience of accompanyingmy daughter to Crestway High Schoolto write her supplementary exams.I was horrified at the conditions
under which they had to write. Therewere 82 pupils writing in one classroom.I was extremely disappointed to hear
from the secretary of the school that noother school wanted to assist with thesupplementary exams. I know there areschools that have the facilities toaccommodate these kids. Not only wasthe “examination room” inadequate, butthe area itself was extremely unsafe.I witnessed a fist fight between one of
the teachers or groundsmen and two ofthe school’s pupils. The toilets werehighly unhygienic and filthy. The doorshad no locks, there were holes in theceilings and there were holes in thecubicles facing the outside, offering noprivacy. Some of the kids were therefrom just after 07:00. And not being ableto use the bathroom until 12:00 – it’sjust unacceptable.Besides feeling completely vulnerable
myself I feel heart-sore for our childrenwho have to endure these conditionsevery day. What a huge disappointmentin the Western Cape education depart-ment. These kids are our future andthey deserve better!

Paddy Attwell, spokesperson of theWestern Cape Department of Edcucation(WCED) responds:Fifteen schools, including Crestway
High School, are hosting supplementaryexaminations for the National SeniorCertificate.Crestway has created an examination
hall for the purpose by removing wallsbetween three classrooms.This has created sufficient space to
accommodate the maximum number ofcandidates writing the examinations atthe venue, in this case, 87.Examination officials visited the
school last Thursday, and found thevenue spotlessly clean and more thanadequate for the 69 candidates scheduledto write the next examination.The candidates are not sitting in one
classroom, as suggested by your reader,but in three classrooms that the schoolhas joined together.The school has cordoned off the hall
so that normal school activities do notdisrupt the examinations.While the school is old, the ablution
facilities are well looked after andserviceable.The WCED rotates the venues be-
tween clusters of schools each year, incollaboration with the schools con-cerned. We have not experiencedreluctance to host the examinations, assuggested in the letter.
Treated well at UIF officeI can’t agree with Pat Manwaring.I went to the UIF office in Athlone
and I must say we were treated verywell.As with all government departments
there are queues.But I must point out that the staff at
Athlone office treated everyone with theutmost respect.At one stage they offered me a chair
to sit on while waiting for the doors to
open.I was always given a date when to go
in and sign and also how much I wouldreceive that Friday (pay day).They always put the date on the form
which you fill in for your next signdate.I must thank the staff of the Athone
UIF office for a job well done.ACHMAT SALIE,

enced Gavin Jefferies who pitched for sev-en innings, allowing 12 hits and strikingout four hitters.

er Roxanne Albertyn. On the otherend of the spectrum, Jones starredfor Falcons on the pitching mound,facing 24 batters. She fanned twobatters and allowed just two hits,namely to Roxanne Albertyn andKathrin van Boom (each 1-3).In the featured semi-final Glen-
thorn A’s trounced Westridge Yan-kees 5-1 after scoring four runs (1and 3) in their first two turns at bat.Very few batters could get on top
of Lauren Mulder’s pitching. Shestruck out five of the 24 batters facedand gave up five hits, which wereshared between Candice Bull (2-3),ShinayErasmus (1-2), NuraanWilli-ams andGlynis Koopman (1-3 each).ForWestridgeYankeesMeganCa-
