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.

Frustrasie oor diewewat inNorthcliff toeslaan
JANINE VAN DER RIET
nJongman,woonagtiginDirkieUys-
Straat in Northcliff, is nou al raadop
n opportuniste reeds drie keer by sy
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.
Betogings rukbeursie
Vervolg van bladsy 1
Maxie Steyn vanKleinmond s die
hoofstraat in Kleinmond dra baie
swaar aan al die verkeer. Dit is to-
taal chaoties op die oomblik.
Jacqui Jackson, n eiendomsagent
inHermanus, sdithethaar tweeure
Dinsdagaandgeneemomvandie lug-
hawe af Hermanus toe te ry.
Die R44was donker en baie besig.
Ek het agter vragmotors gesit kus-
langs, en daar is geen plek om hulle
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
skole indie gebiedkonnoual vir drie
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
konsedertMaandagniegedoenword
nie. Die meeste besighede in die om-
gewing, insluitenddie poskantoor, is
tans gesluit.
Selfs brandweerdienste is toegang
totGrabouwgeweiernbetogersvel-
de aan die brand gesteek het.
Houw Hoek Inn, op die N2 tussen
Grabouw enBotrivier, is ook ernstig
geraak deur die stakings.
n Sake-eienaar in Grabouw het
Dinsdaggesdieonluste is lankalnie
meer n betoging nie.
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
hier verkry nie.
Hy sHouwHoek InnmoetVrydag
gasheer wees vir n groot konferen-
sie, maar die konferensiegangers
oorweeg nou om te kanselleer as ge-
volg van die betogings.
Dit neem nou ongeveer twee uur
of meer om van die Kaap by ons uit
te kom, waar dit gewoonlik minder
as n uur duur.
NicoliLaraduToit, n inwonervan
Grabouw, s hoewel sy nie naby aan
waar die onluste plaasvind, bly nie,
trek die klank en dit is skrikwek-
kend. Ons diere is erg getraumati-
seer.Toemyaanstaande skoonmaby
die huis kom Maandag, het ons 10-
jaar oue skaaphond in pyn gel. Dit
blyk sy het geskrik vir al die geraas
en van die trappe afgeval. Ons moes
haar inderhaas veearts toe neem.
Volgens die Theewaterskloof-mu-
nisipaliteit word die elektrisiteit vir
Grabouwnie deur diemunisipaliteit
nie, maar direk deur Eskom voor-
sien.
Dieproblememetdiepaaiesalons
ondersoek, wat spesifiek uitgewys
word in diememorandum, het Punt
ges. Wat die ontevredenheid oor be-
huising betref, ontvang die munisi-
paliteit n baie beperkte begroting
van die nasionale behuisingsdepar-
tement waarvan die grootste gedeel-
te aan behuising in Grabouw bestee
word.
David Morris, n fotograaf wat se-
dert die onluste uitgebreekhet opdie
toneel is, het Woensdagoggend ges
die situasie is steeds baie gespanne.
Selfs die media word met klippe be-
stook en is in die spervuur.
Volgens luitenant Raldene Atson,
is 13mense reeds in hegtenis geneem
wat winkels beroof en eiendom be-
skadig het.
Teen druktyd Woensdagmiddag
het die onluste steeds voortgeduur.

van die pad te baljaar in die plasse water is
n bekende toneeltjie, en een wat inwoners
graag wil bewaar. Dit het die Onrusbelas

te waarsku om op die uitkyk te wees.

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
participated in this initiative. To
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
moetrynie.Diebussewagnet
so lank, dus kanhulle nie aan
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
besigheidkommentaar leweroor
watter prosedure daar gevolg
moet word ten opsigte van uit-
staande skuld nie.

Verskeie bendes in die Over-
strand in skole sowel as die
gemeenskap word deur die
Hermanus-polisie ondersoek.
Verledeweek het dieHerma-
nus Times berig oor Operation
Combat, wat die Hermanus- en
Stanford-polisie gestig het om
bendelede vas te trek. (HT
11/09/2014, Signs of gangste-
rism, even in primary
schools.)
Kol. Francois de Wet, waar-
nemende bevelvoerder by die
Hermanus-polisie, s daar is
verskeie bendes in die gebied.
In die skole blyk skoolben-
desgenaamdMOP(Moneyover
Bitches),NaughtyBoysenATL
bendebedrywighede uit te
voer.
Ander bendes in die onder-
skeie gemeenskappe sluit in
die Dixie Boys in Mount Plea-
sant, die Terrible Josters in
Hawston, die tronkbendes 26,
27 en 28s, en Top Dogs.
Die gemeenskap n ouers
moet op die uitkyk wees vir te-
kens van bendelidmaatskap.
As n vermoede ontstaan van
bende-aktiwiteite in jou huis-
houding of omgewing, moet jy
dit dadelik by die polisie aan-
meld. Bendegeweld en -aktiwi-
teite moet stopgesit word.
Die Hermanus-polisie het
Dinsdagmiddag weer met
skoolhoofde en rolspelers ver-
gader om n multisektorale
taakspan te stig. DeWet s hoe-
wel die polisie die veldtog van
stapel gestuur het, kan dit nie
suksesvol wees of deurgevoer
word sonder die hulp van al die
rolspelers nie.

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.

Vriendeverras ladyWilna
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-
trent opmyrug.Ennet daar vergeet
ek my woorde. Gerhard het Wilna
beskryf as die somtotaal van die an-
der groot vroue in die bedryf. Alet-
ta Gericke. Babs Laker. Suzanne
vanWyk.Eerlikheid,netheidenele-
gansie is wat hierdie drie vroue ons
geleer het, en al hierdie eienskappe
is in jou saamgevat.
Dramaturg en regisseurDeonOp-
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
namyma. Syhet virmy geleer:
Youmustalwaysrememberwho
youare,where youare, andwhat you
are doing.
Na pouse het Wilna, Adriaan en
Magdahulvertoninggelewer.Hulle
het uittreksels voorgelees uit die
rolprent Dead Poets Society, en ook
uit werke van digters soos Hennie
Aucamp, NP vanWyk Louw, Antjie
Krog enAdamSmal.Magda het ook
onder meer Franse liedere gesing.

TheFynbosCommunityFounda-
tion is planning an auction to
raise theR600 000 still needed for
their Hopeland Project in
Stanford.
The aim is to develop a facility
where much-needed after-care
services can be provided for at
least 80 learners (Grade R to 7)
from the HOP-land (RDP-hous-
ing) areaon theoutskirts of Stan-
ford.
A building in the Stanford in-
dustrial area was purchased for
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.
Toomanychildren inpoor ar-
eas drop out of the school system
because of difficult circumstan-
ces, says Mr Smith, chairman
the foundations chairman.
The Hopeland Project has
been initiated to give hope to
thesechildren.Thecentrewillbe
a supervised, safe and caring en-
vironment where children will
receive a proper lunch, take part
in various programs, but most
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
or bakkie that wont start, stand-
ingundera tree?Ora stickof fur-
niture that you no longer need?
Any donation would help to bet-
ter the lives of a few needy chil-
dren in the Stanford area.
TheFynbosCommunityFoun-
dation, a registered tax-exempt
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-
wacht to provide fresh vegeta-
bles to the learners of Fynbos
Akademie and in futurewill also
supply the Hopeland Centre.
The project committee con-
sists of a medical doctor, a clinic
sister, a nutritional expert and
others with training in art, mu-

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,
Saterdagoggend in Ixiastraat gaan stapnadie
parkie. By die parkie het ons die leibandjies
uitgehak en ons honde het heerlik rondge-
hardloop.
Geengemors bydie parkienie, behalwe nr
1. Met die terugkeer het ek vir my man ges
dat die straat so stil is, ons honde nie aggres-
sief is nie, en ons hulle bandjies nie hoef in
te hak nie.
InWesendstraat het ons teruggestap op pad
huis toe. Daar het n wit bakkie baie stadig
in die straat aangery gekomenhet ons betyds
ons honde op die sypaadjie geneem.
Die stadige bakkie is verby en ons het net
beginverderstap, toe tweewilleswartgevaar-
tes - dink dis wolfhonde?, van agteraf op ons
afgestorm kom.
Die een was baie aggressief en het my dier-
bare wit hond van agter bespring en op haar
rug/nek gebyt. Gelukkig dat ek die leibandjie
in my hand gehad het, anders was my hand
en arms in die slag.
Ek het geskree en die swart gevaarte pro-

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-
nuss #[email protected] held at the
Sandbaai hall last Saturday.
Lauren Shantall and Catherine Bowen,
both in the trend and fashion industries,
wowed everyone with an inspired talk about
the new trends for 2015.
Phrases like futureAtlantis, abstract stain,
avante pop, faye botanical, vitamin-induced
colours and sport active left everyone with
new ideas on how to colour their future.
The SandbaaiHall and tableswere adorned
byart fromWalkerBayGalleries,PureSouth,

Guests taste buds were tickled pink with
food from The Eatery, and the well-trained

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.

Nuwegymeienaar is vol planne
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).
