Message from the chair:
Mrs Moira Strauss
Dear Readers,
It was so hard to hear the sad news of
Okkie's sudden death on the 1st of
January. As co-members of Calitzdorp
Tourism, we would like to send our
deepest sympathies to the friends and
family of Okkie Calitz during this hard
time of loss. May memories give you
strength, may the love of your dear ones
help you through the days ahead. Our
thoughts are with you during this
difficult time.
Baie dankie aan Trevor en Annette
Espin wie die optelhondjie aangeneem
en versorg het. U sal onthou in ons
vorige nuusbrief het Sally 'n foto
ingesit van die hondjie wat sy opgetel
het. Nogmaals dankie aan jul al drie,
die hondjie lyk nou pragtig!
Weereens dankie aan almal wat die
Oujaarsaand Partydjie bygewoon het.
Sien 'n paar foto's onderaan soos
beloof. Ons sien uit om binnekort weer
'n dans te hou by dieselfde plek en jul
weer daar te sien.
Geniet hierdie week se uitgawe.
Moira Strauss, Calitzdorp

Oujaars dans – Droom Projek
Ockie het al verskeie jare as komiteelid
gedien op Calitzdorp Toerisme se
Bestuurskomitee. Sy betrokkenheid in
soveel aangeleenthede en projekte op
Calitzdorp het geweldig waarde
toegevoeg vir die dorp. Hy het nooit
iets terug verwag vir sy lojale
ondersteuning nie. U kan op 'n paar
foto's sien waarby hy betrokke was,
daar is te veel om te wys.

o Noodhulp kursusse
Geagte mede burgers
Die noodhulp dienste het vanjaar begin met ‘n inisiatief om noodhulp kursusse aan te bied teen ongelooflike billike pryse. Daar was
‘n paar haakplekke met vanjaar se program maar ek voorsien dat die toekomstige kursusse besonder goed sal loop. Die noodhulp
kursusse sal Noodhulp 1 en Noodhulp 3 wees. Kom ons ondersteun die proses en hierdie belangrike opleidingsgeleentheid. Enige
iemand kan inskryf, selfs skoliere.
Koste: R100 per persoon. Stuur asb aan na alle belangstellendes

PS Kontak my met name. Hulle teiken om 75 mense op te lei. Gewoonlik kan hulle net 16 per sessie neem. Ons het met baie sukses
die Calitzdorp Kelder se fasileiteite gebruik en ek is seker dat hulle weer ons tegemoet kom hiermee. Laat weet my en moontlike tye
/ maande wat so ‘n projek die beste en meeste aftrek sal kry.

Brain Teaser of the week
On a game show there are three closed doors - one hides a car and the other two
conceal a goat. The contestant selects a door, which remains closed, and the
host, knowing where the car is hidden, reveals a goat behind one of the
remaining two doors. The contestant is then given the option to switch doors or
stay with the one they originally selected. What should the contestant do to
have the best chance of winning the car?
The solution to this teaser will be in next weeks news letter.

The solution to last weeks teaser:
Answer: Weigh four against four. If they're equal, weigh three of them against three you
haven't weighed. If they balance too, weigh the last remaining egg against any of the others to see if it is lighter or heavier. If the three suspects are heavier,
weigh one of them against another and the one that goes down is it. If they
balance the remaining suspect is heavy. Use the same process if they're lighter.
If the initial four vs four don't balance, weigh two heavy eggs and a light egg
against one heavy egg, one light one and a known normal egg. If they balance
weigh the remaining two light eggs against each other. If they balance the unweighed heavy egg is the odd one out. If the side with two heavy eggs goes
down weigh them against each other. If they balance it is the light egg on the
other side. If the other side goes down it is either because of one heavy egg on that side or because the one light egg on the other side is lighter than the rest.
Weigh one of them against a known normal egg to determine which is true.

o Yarn Bombing
Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, urban
knitting orgraffiti knitting, is a type of graffiti or street art that employs
colourful displays ofknitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or
chalk. While yarn installations – called yarn bombs or yarnstorms – may
last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike other forms
of graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. While other forms of
graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political
commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost
exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public
places. It has since developed with groups graffiti knitting and crocheting
worldwide, each with their own agendas and public graffiti knitting
projects being run.
Ons wil graag so gou moontlik met hierdie projek begin sodat ons tydens
die Portfees 2014 'n pragtig kleurvolle dorp kan hê. Mandjies wol met
breinaalde en hekelpenne sal oral in gastehuise en restaurante beskikbaar
wees vir gaste wat graag wil deel in ons projek. Meer inligting sal
binnekort volg.

ID: 102
Species: Egyptian Goose
Spotted: January to December, breeds,

Egyptian Goose
The Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) is a member of the duck, goose, andswan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of
the Sahara and the Nile Valley.
Egyptian Geese were considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians, and appeared in much of their artwork. They have been raised for food and
extensively bred in parts of Africa since they were domesticated by the ancient Egyptians. Because of their popularity chiefly as ornamental bird,
escapes are common and small feral populations have become established in Western Europe.
TAXANOMY: The Egyptian Goose is believed to be most closely related to the shelducks (genusTadorna) and their relatives, and is placed with
them in the subfamily Tadorninae. It is the only extant member of the genus Alopochen, which also contains closely related prehistoric and recently
extinct species. mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data suggest that the relationships of Alopochen to Tadorna need further investigation.
Its generic name is based on Greek ἀλώπηξ ('alopex') + χήν ('chen') = "fox-goose", referring to the colour of its back.
DESCRIPTION: It swims well, and in flight looks heavy, more like a goose than a duck, hence the English name. It is 63–73 cm long.
The sexes of this species are identical in plumage, and the males average slightly larger. There is a fair amount of variation in plumage tone, with
some birds greyer and others browner, but this is not sex- or age-related. A large part of the wings of mature birds is white, but in repose the white is
hidden by the wing coverts. When it is aroused, either in alarm or aggression, the white begins to show. In flight or when the wings are fully spread
in aggression the white is conspicuous.
The voices and vocalisations of the sexes differ, the male having a hoarse, subdued duck-like quack which seldom sounds unless it is aroused. The
male Egyptian Goose attracts its mate with an elaborate, noisy courtship display that includes honking, neck stretching and feather displays. The
female has a far noisier raucous quack that frequently sounds in aggression and almost incessantly at the slightest disturbance when tending her
young.
DISTRIBUTION: This species breeds widely in Africa except in deserts and dense forests, and is locally abundant. They are found mostly in
the Nile Valley and south of the Sahara. While not breeding, it disperses somewhat, sometimes making longer migrations northwards into arid
regions of the Sahel.[6] It has also been introduced elsewhere: Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, and Germany have self-sustaining populations
which are mostly derived from escaped ornamental birds.[2] Escapes have also bred on occasion in other places, such as Florida and New
Zealand.[2] The British population dates back to the 18th century, though only formally added to the British list in 1971. In Britain, it is found mainly
in East Anglia, in parkland with lakes. It was officially declared a pest in the U.K. in 2009.
BEHAVIOUR: This is a largely terrestrial species, which will also perch readily on trees and buildings. Egyptian Geese typically eat seeds, leaves,
grasses, and plant stems. Occasionally, they will eat locusts, worms, or other small animals.
Both sexes are aggressively territorial towards their own species when breeding and frequently pursue intruders into the air, attacking them in aerial
"dogfights". Neighbouring pairs may even kill another's offspring for their own offsprings' survival as well as for more resources.
This species will nest in a large variety of situations, especially in holes in mature trees in parkland. The female builds the nest from reeds, leaves
and grass, and both parents take turns incubating eggs. Egyptian Geese usually pair for life. Both the male and female care for the offspring until
they are old enough to care for themselves.
