    Habonimsal skoongemaakword

    JANHENDRIK COETZER

    DieOverstrand-munisipaliteit het besluit

    om die gedeelte by Habonim skoon te

    maak, hopelik nog binne di boekjaar,

    maar dit sal in fases aangepak word. Sou

    die nodige fondse beskikbaar raak, kan

    die projek in totaliteit aangepak word.

    Di verwikkelinge volg op n besoek van

    diemunisipaliteitopDinsdag27Januarieaan

    Sandbaai-Wes om die dreigende brandgevaar

    daar te bespreek.

    Verskeie verenigings in Sandbaai het vroe-

    er hul kommer oor die ruie oorgroei van uit-

    heemse bosse in die omgewing uitgespreek

    het.

    Volgens Neville Michaels, direkteur: be-

    skermingsdienste byOverstrand-munisipali-

    teit, is die mikpunt om so spoedig moontlik

    met die skoonmaakproses te begin. In totali-

    teit kan di projek in die omgewing van

    R100 000 kos.

    Verskillende opsies is bespreek:

    Eenvandieopsies is om nbeheerdebrand

    toe te pas, maar eerstens is daar n openbare

    deelnameproses wat gevolg moet word en

    tweedens moet daar n kosteberekening ge-

    doen word. Die kosteberekening is reeds

    deur my departement gedoen, en hierdie ver-

    slag, wat alle fasette van die beheerde brand

    uitbeeld, moet met die ander departemente

    bespreek word.

    Michaels sal ook verder n versoek rig aan

    die areabestuurder omdie Brandweer te nooi

    na n vergadering om die kwessie en die pad

    vorentoe te bespreek, asook moontlike hulp

    wat hulle van die wykskomitee kan ontvang.

    Onsmoet in gedagte hou dat ons as brand-

    weerdienste slegs die brandgevaar-gedeelte

    hanteer.Ons is ongelukkignie plantkundiges

    nie en daar is ook ander wetgewing wat be-

    trokke is, spesifiekmet verwysing na die her-

    groei van plantegroei.

    Met die veiligheidsituasie wes van Bran-

    derdraai s Michaels is daar reeds n brand-

    ondersoek gedoen.

    Brandweerdienste sal gereelde inspeksies

    doen om te verseker dat brandbane in stand

    gehou word, en indien nie, dit onder die aan-

    dag van die areabestuurder gebring word.

    Daar sal ook rekord gehou word van inspek-

    sies wat gedoen moet word.

    Volgens Michaels moet daar in gedagte ge-

    hou word dat huiseienaars ook die verant-

    woordelikheid het om te verseker dat dit

    rondomhul huis skoonmoetwees van brand-

    bare materiaal.

    Die munisipaliteit het brandbane in plek,

    maarmet nkuslynvanongeveer200 kmlank,

    is dit n taamlike proses om te verseker dat

    alle brandbane in stand gehou word. Over-

    strand Brand en Redding en Rampbestuur is

    ook tans besig met n risiko-analise vir die

    areaas ngeheelomsodoendeteversekerdaar

    beplan word vir nuwe brandbane.

    Michaelsmeendatdie 25 mbrebrandbaan

    op die oomblik in plek, voldoende is en wel

    toegang bied vir brandbestrydingspersoneel

    en toerusting. Ondersoek sal wel ingestel

    word, en indien nodig sal daar instruksie ge-

    gee word om die nodige regstellings te maak.

    Daar sal ook besprekings gehou word wat be-

    tref die onderhoud van die brandbane.

    VolgensMichaelsmoet daar ook in gedagte

    gehou word dat daar n begroting nodig is vir

    enige groot projek.

    Die hele Overstrand is n ho-risiko-area

    en is dit byna onmoontlik omgeld beskikbaar

    te maak om alles skoon te maak.

    KERRY VAN RENSBURG

    Two shacks in Zwelihle were gutted at

    03:00 on Sunday 8 February and a desper-

    ately ill woman not only lost everything

    she owned, but died in hospital on Tues-

    day afternoon

    According to Ward 5 councillor, Sicelo

    Gxamesi, the fire was caused by a candle in

    theshackofayoungmanknownonlyasLaza-

    ro. It then spread to the shack alongside his,

    belonging to Ntombekho Fono.

    Standing in the charred remains, Gxamesi

    said thanks to the quick response of neigh-

    bours and the fire brigade, the firewasquick-

    ly containedandno furtherhousesor inform-

    al dwellings were affected.

    Gxamesi says Lazaro, who is unemployed,

    lost his ID and all his belongings.

    MoragSwanepoel,whohasworkedclosely

    with the Zwelihle community for many

    years, saysFonohadhighbloodpressureand

    was diabetic.

    Sitting at her bedside, in a neighbouring

    house, onMondayafternoon,Swanepoelwas

    overcomewithcompassion for the sickwom-

    an.She tried everythingpossible tohelpher,

    and took along a pot of soup and some basic

    food items in her car, to give to her.

    Fono visited a doctor in Somerset West on

    Saturday7February,and themedicationshe

    received, along with everything else, went

    up in smoke.

    Before thewomanpassedaway, Swanepoel

    said: She is extremely ill and weak and in

    a state of shock. She cannot speak or walk

    and is only taking in liquids.

    At Swanepoels insistence, Fonowas taken

    to the Hermanus Provincial Hospital by am-

    bulance shortly after she and the councillor

    had visited her and the site of the fire.

    Swanepoel rallied friends and community

    membersviaFacebook tohelpprovidea shel-

    ter and clothes for Fono. We have the start

    of a collection of funds towards buyingmate-

    rial for a shelter, said Swanepoel.

    She told theHermanusTimes that theOver-

    strand Municipality only helps with zinc for

    shelters if a disaster is declared, and this

    incident doesnt qualify as only two homes

    were affected.

    Swanepoel appealed for small donations

    froma lot of people. She said onherFacebook

    page:WeneedtoraiseR4 000tobuythemate-

    rials forashack.Anyamountwouldbeappre-

    ciated.

    She says people from the community start-

    ed donating blankets and clothes, and, be-

    sides helping Fono, this could be the start

    of a Zwelihle disaster relief fund to help peo-

    ple who fall between the cracks.

    But as the donations were coming in,

    Swanepoel heard that Ntombikho Fona had

    passed away in the Hermanus Provincial

    Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.

    She thankedthedozenorsopeoplewhohad

    responded so generously and for their much

    appreciated support.

    Twomen drown at

    Hawston beach

    JANHENDRIK COETZER

    Two men, aged 24 and 29, both from Ravens-

    mead in Cape Town, drowned at Hawston

    beach on Saturday 7 February after they were

    swept out to sea while swimming.

    According to Craig Lambinon from the

    NSRI, they responded immediately, together

    with law enforcement, Western Cape Govern-

    ment EMS and the SAPS.

    Lambinon says: A lifeguard on duty at the

    local Hawston public swimming pool also re-

    sponded andwent into the surf where heman-

    aged to get the 24-year-old out of the sea. EMS

    paramedics took over from the lifeguard, con-

    ducting CPR, but despite these efforts theman

    was declared dead on the scene.

    During an ongoing search operation NSRI

    rescuers also found the body of the 29-year-old.

    When he was brought ashore at Hawston

    harbour, paramedicson thescenedeclared the

    man dead.

    Thebodiesofbothmenwerehanded into the

    care of police and the forensic pathology servi-

    ces. According to RoderickWilliams, director:

    communityservicesattheOverstrandMunici-

    pality, a total of four drownings occurred at

    Hawston beach since the start of the holiday

    season last year.

    Vermont woman died

    JANHENDRIK COETZER

    DesirreKurzyca(69),whowasfounddead

    in her Vermont home on Friday 30 Janu-

    ary, died of natural causes.

    According to Kurzycas sister-in-law,

    Jean Gaydon, this was confirmed to her

    by the Police on Tuesday 3 February.

    The body of Kurzyca was found by her

    brother, Johnny Gaydon, who had re-

    ceivedacall fromherhusbandPeter,who

    was overseas at the time and got worried

    when she did not answer her phone.

    Gaydon climbed over the wall and

    found her body.

    Allthelightswerestilloninthehouse.

    I think she may just have gotten light

    headed as she fell backwards hitting her

    head against the tiles.

    Jean Gaydon says nothing looked sus-

    picious at the scene.

    There was clearly no robbery. Even

    the forensics said so. They couldnt find

    anything suspicious.

    Peter and Brent (son) would like to

    thankthepolice, forensicsaswell asADT

    for their immediate response and the

    professionalwayinwhichtheyhavehan-

    dled the whole incident.

    A fire which started at 13:42 on Sunday

    afternoon on the Beaumont wine farm, un

    derneath Eskom cables, caused some dam

    age to vineyards on a nearby farm. Doug

    Hawkins, a fire reservist from Bot River,

    said units from Cape Nature and Working

    on Fire fought the fire. Police officers were

    also on patrol. All the affected farms do

    nated tractor fire units in an effort to tackle

    the flames, which spread from Beaumont,

    up and over the river, and circled Luddite

    en route to Roodheuwel. The fire jumped

    Van der Stell Pass on the lower slopes of

    the Beaumont residence and crossed into

    the farmland, but fire fighters managed to

    bring it under control through the course of

    the night. Hawkins says Luddite suffered

    damage to their vines, but mainly fynbos

    and bush were burnt. Hawkins says he has

    never seen a fire move so rapidly and with

    such intense heat on the front line.

    valskermswewer

    JANHENDRIK COETZER

    n Valskermswewer (paraglider) het n

    noue ontkoming gehad toe hy Maandag-

    middag in die berg bo Volklip taamlik

    hard met Moeder Aarde kennis gemaak

    het.

    Nooddienspersoneel was vinnig op die to-

    neel, en was heel verbaas toe hulle hom ge-

    waar waar hy doodluiters teen die berg af-

    stap met sy valskerm op sy rug.

    Hy het slegs n skraapwond aan sy hand

    opgedoen.

    Volgens die nooddienspersoneel het die

    swewer aan hulle verduidelik hy wou rens

    naby Stanford geland het, maar as gevolg

    van die windstil dag kon hy nie hoogte kry

    nie en het hy in die bosse beland.

    Volgens n Volklip-inwoner wat redelik

    na aan die berg woon, land die swewers ge-

    woonlik op die oop stuk veld by OK Mini-

    Mark, maar hy het nie self di betrokke

    insident sien gebeur nie.

    nPlaaslike swewer,BevanPope, s diege-

    ne wat Stanford toe sweef kry soms nie ge-

    noeg wind nie en dan gebeur dit ongelukkig

    dat jy tussen die bosse op die berg moet

    land.

    Dit het selfs eenkeer met my gebeur dat

    ek ver bo die draadheining op die bergmoes

    land.

    En glo my, dis nogal n vreesaanjaende

    ondervinding, iets wat ek nie sommer gou

    weer wil oorkom nie. En dan moet jy nog

    boonop baie ver loop om onder uit te kom.

    Maar ja, in hierdie geval was dit eenvoudig

    net n noodlanding waar die paraglider nie

    n ander keuse gehad het as om tussen die

    bosse te land nie.

    nNooddiensbeampte het ges die swewer

    wou geen behandeling gehad het nie, maar

    hy het wel gevra of hy n ry-geleentheid in

    dorp toe kan kry.

    Pasop vir robbe op strand, hul kan

    seermaak

    JANINE VAN DER RIET

    n Jong olifantrob is verle-

    de week op Sandbaai se

    strand gewaar waar hy in

    die son gel en bak het.

    Baie inwoners het die

    Overstrand-munisipali-

    teit (OM) gebel, bekom-

    merd oor die rob wat uit-

    gespoel het en moontlik

    dood is.

    Maar, waarsku Leon

    Steyn,Overstrand-munisi-

    paliteit se omgewingspesialis, mense moet

    soos in hierdie geval, nie naby die 600 kg

    swaar jong rob kom nie.

    Al lykdit ofhulle dood is, ishullemoontlik

    nie.Hulle rus n bietjie op die strandvoorhul-

    le weer verder swem. Robbe het groot tande

    en kan mens of dier baie seermaak as hulle

    gesteur word.

    CapeNature en die OMhet n ogie gehou en

    JANHENDRIK COETZER

    FrankWoodvine (85), well-known

    fynbos expert, was honoured by

    the Hermanus Botanical Society

    by way of two benches erected in

    the Fernkloof Nature Reserve.

    Onehas an inscription dedicated to

    Frank, the other bench is in memory

    of his wife, Valerie, who worked

    alongsidehimandsharedhispassion.

    Frank has spent a lifetime caring

    for the environment and still contin-

    ues to do so today.

    Originally fromEngland,hemoved

    to Zimbabwe at the age of 25 in 1955,

    and then settled in Hermanus in 1976

    where he started working for Over-

    strand Municipality: Environmental

    Management.He retired fromthis po-

    sition in 1995.

    Frank was also curator for Fern-

    kloofNatureReserve aswell as chair-

    person of the Camphill Management

    Board. Today he is still a member of

    theCliffPathManagementGroup, the

    Hermanus Botanical Society as well

    as environmental consultant for Bou-

    chard Finlayson wine estate.

    And besides these many responsi-

    bilities, he is still a very active biodi-

    versity tour guide.

    Frank has no plans to slow down,

    and isputting togethera trip toSuma-

    tra. Not many people know about

    this Indonesian island and its biodi-

    versity. In terms of biodiversity, Bra-

    zil isrankedfirst in theworld, Indone-

    sia second and South Africa third.

    It isalsotheonlyplaceintheworld

    where the orangutan is still to be

    found.

    Discovery trips and breaking new

    ground are in his nature. Frank re-

    calls one adventure, back in 1957 that

    stands out for him:

    At the upper Zambezi Valley, be-

    fore the Kariba dam was built, I was

    involved in surveying tree species in

    areaswhichwouldbefloodedafterthe

    lake filled.Thevalleywasremote,vir-

    tuallytracklessandteemedwithwild-

    life. Lots of animals also needed to be

    removed.

    As Anina Lee from Whale Coast

    Conservation says about Frank: He

    isup toany task enthralling tourists

    with his deep grasp of ecological con-

    nections; sharing his knowledge of

    fynbos;clearingaliens;andeducating

    the young.

    He has been a wonderful friend to

    Whale Coast Conservation. Thank

    you Frank may we have the benefit

    of your knowledge and wisdom for

    many years to come.

    The words engraved on the one

    bench in Fernkloof fittingly reads:

    FrankWoodvinelifetimeconserva-

    tionist, we salute you.

    Department investigating complaint

    after doctor refused to help patient

    JANINE VAN DER RIET

    A Mount Pleasant resident, suffering from

    diabetes was very upset after she was hu-

    miliated and not helped at the newly built

    Hermanus Community DayCentre (CDC) in

    Swartdam Road.

    Thewoman, whowishes to remain anony-

    mous, says shewent to the clinic onTuesday

    27 January after she had made an appoint-

    ment for 15:00.

    This 60-year-old patient says the doctor

    that was supposed to see her, was not there,

    and another was tasked to assist. She just

    needed a prescription renewed for her dia-

    betes.

    The doctor just refused to help me. He

    took my file and threw it on the ground and

    said he had only six minutes left before he

    goes home for the day!

    She was very upset, and left the clinic

    without a renewed prescription.

    The Hermanus Times contacted the Over-

    berg District Health Department regarding

    this particular complaint, and on Friday,

    Natasha Peterson, spokesperson for the de-

    partment, said they are busy investigating

    the matter.

    She says the department encourages the

    community to use the following platforms

    when lodging an official complaint against

    the department:

    ) Speak to a senior official at the facility.

    )Write, phone or email the medical man-

    ager.

    ) Complete a feedback form and place it

    in the box provided.

    )Contact the complaints hotline by send-

    ing an email to service@western-

    cape.gov.za, calling 0860 142 142 or sending

    a please call me to 079 769 1207.

    The Western Cape Government Health

    has provided numerous platforms of engag-

    ing with dissatisfied clients to ensure that

    we can improve the patients experience at

    our facilities, Peterson said.

    L2L practicewalk covered 18 km

    Itwas a blisteringhot day, but

    that did nothing to wither the

    enthusiasm of a group of 37

    Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse la-

    dies and supporters who com-

    pleted another practice walk

    last Saturday.

    The distance they covered

    were the 18 kms stretching

    from De Kelders to Grotto

    beach.

    A nominal fee was charged

    to participate and the funds

    raised were for the benefit of

    the Overberg Wheelchair As-

    sociation, one of the nominat-

    ed charities of the 2015 L2L.

    A shorter walk was orga-

    nised as well from Piet-se-Bos

    toSopiesklip(atDiePlaat)and

    back, completed by 16 adults

    and 9 kids.

    Among the veteranwalkers (and supporters) who completed the long walk in readiness for

    the L2L walk in March were Kurt Nielsen, Les Clark, Maretha Swanepoel, Ren and Heinz

    Grater and Vivienne Stone. They completed the walk in four and a half hours.

    With spirit, and flags flying high, were Franco Smith, Lionel

    Texas Isaacs, Ian Bredell and Johannes slaptjips Witbooi

    who cheered on the walkers. PHOTOS: CILENE BEKKER

    100students togainwork

    experience

    One hundred young people in the Over-

    berg will gain valuable work experience

    through theWestern CapeGovernments

    ket at host companies and offers an exit

    strategy to learners who successfully

    complete the programme.

    NOT EVEN ESKOM COULD SPOIL RE

    UNION: The Chingola reunion took place

    at The Classroom Restaurant on the even

    ing of Saturday 7 February. According to

    the organiser, Daph Weaving, what sets

    this reunion apart, is that its not the run

    of the mill school reunion, but a reunion

    of an entire village. Chingola is a copper

    mining town in what was then known as

    Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. Seventy

    guests attended the reunion, many of

    whom had not seen each other for the

    past 5060 years. They arrived from all

    over South Africa and Zambia. Nine of

    the guests at the reunion will also be cel

    ebrating their 70th birthday in 2015,

    many guests were older. Weaving said

    words cannot do justice to all the years

    of love and strength our parents gave us.

    We thank them for choosing Chingola as

    our home town. We have a very special

    bond, and not even an Eskom power out

    age could dull our sparkle at the joy of

    being reunited so many years later.

    FAMILY TREASURE: The Hermanus

    History Societys first members meet

    ing for 2015 was on 2 February at

    the Windsor Hotel. Dr Robin Lee told

    members that the HHS publication In

    Those Days: The Story of Joey van

    Rhyn Luyt at the Marine Hotel, Her

    manus was completely sold out and

    the society was considering a re

    print. As a result of the books suc

    cess, a whole trunk load of new

    documentation discovered in a ga

    rage about the extended Luyt fami

    ly, has been handed over to the

    towns history boffs and might war

    rant other publications. Lee says the

    book has sparked a contact with the

    Allengensky family (anglicised to Al

    len) which had an extensive fishing

    operation, owned the Windsor Hotel

    for a while, and set up and ran the

    first cinema in Hermanus the Adel

    Talk onwetlands and freshwater systems

    World Wetlands Week is celebrated

    internationally in February and

    WhaleCoast Conservationwill host

    a talk by Edward Archer, titled:

    Aquatic Canaries: Using micro-or-

    ganisms and freshwater animals as

    biomarkers of water pollution, on

    Tuesday 24 February at 17:30 at the

    Green House.

    Over the years, it has become

    more and more evident that man-

    made products are entering our

    freshwater supplies and creating

    pressure upon the quality of these

    systems.

    The use of biological indicators of

    waterpollution (orbiomarkers) can

    then provide vital information on

    the presence of certain harmful wa-

    ter pollutants.

    Some of these harmful contami-

    nants are endocrine disrupting con-

    taminants (EDCs), which come

    from several agricultural, domestic

    and industrial practices.

    These pollutants can severely af-

    fect reproductive and/or develop-

    mental endocrine systems of both

    humans and wildlife species.

    To date, the presence and levels

    of EDCs in SouthAfricanwater sys-

    temsarenot adequately recordedor

    monitored.

    This is largely due to the lack of

    awarenessabouttheharmfuleffects

    of these contaminants, and also the

    lack of sufficient biomarkers to

    show their presence in the water.

    This is where the use of micro-or-

    ganisms and aquatic organisms can

    be used as sentinel indicators of

    freshwater quality.

    Edward will discuss the sources

    and presence of EDCs in our fresh-

    waterresourcesandalsovariousus-

    es of biomarker species (both onmi-

    cro and macro level) to show the

    presenceand fateof thesechemicals

    Treasure and protect

    those who reach out

    Our community is full of people in need,

    many of them so povertystricken that

    they are unable to afford the basics of

    life. When tragedy strikes and poverty

    is all you know, it may seem all is lost

    and no one cares.

    But Hermanus is full of people who do

    care about those less fortunate.

    This week a champion of the poor and

    her network of communityminded

    friends unselfishly came to the rescue of

    a poor woman, who was so sick she

    could not care for herself.

    Andon topof that, her shackhadburnt

    down and she lost everything.

    The woman did not survive her illness

    or the ordeal, but in her last hours, she

    knew compassion and kindness.

    She may not have realised it, but so

    many people were donating blankets,

    clothing, foodandmoney tohelp rebuild

    her home.

    And this came about because one

    woman in our community motivated a

    small army of likeminded people to ex

    tend a helping hand.

    There are fewwellheeled peoplewho

    will go into Zwelihle, let alone into the

    alleys and homes of the poorest of the

    poor.

    We need to treasure and protect peo

    ple like these,becausewithout themsoci

    ety would be all the poorer.

    Would a fourway stop solve the problem at Bergzicht Street?

    I would like to comment on the front page

    article in the Hermanus Times of 29 Janu-

    aryabout the trafficproblemson theSand-

    baaiMain Road and Bergzicht Road inter-

    section.

    Traffic management at minor junctions

    is a problem experienced worldwide and

    for many years. Every country has been

    looking for solutions for a long time and

    most of themhave introduced standard so-

    lutions. Based mainly on empirical infor-

    mation, various intersection layouts are

    in use as standard designs when coupled

    with available or projected traffic figures.

    In South Africa this practice goes back

    to the sixties and I remember the old

    Transvaal Provincial Design Manual.

    Both the Hermanus Protection Service

    and the Department Infrastructure and

    Planning must be aware of these off the

    shelf solutions and they have simply

    missed their chance to implement them

    in the past. At this point in time, however,

    theMain Road and Bergzicht intersection

    most probably needs a tailor-made and de-

    signed solution and has passed its stan-

    dard options phase.

    A no cost improvement could be to turn

    the junction into a four-way stop. I am ful-

    ly aware that the introduction of a four-

    way stop at this intersection now is too

    little too late andwill not really solve the

    problem.

    A four-way stop would, however, pro-

    vide opportunity for all traffic streams to

    move continuously and would especially

    benefit right hand turning traffic. Stop-

    ping theMain Road traffic would also pos-

    sibly encourage Sandbaai residents to use

    thealternativeoverSkulphoekRoad.Why

    not try this? It can in no way make things

    worse.

    The second point I would like to make

    refers to Mr Stephen Mllers comments.

    The road infrastructure in Hermanus be-

    longs to the OverstrandMunicipality. No-

    body but the Department Infrastructure

    and Planning has any authority over the

    Hermanus roads. Mr Mller refers to ac-

    cess for Curro and the Shopping Centre

    and says - I quote: Dit sal die ontwikke-

    laar se verantwoordelikheid wees . om

    te verseker dit kan die verkeersvolume

    dra end quote. By implication Mr

    Muller says in his comments that it is the

    responsibility of the developer of the

    Sandbaai Shopping Centre to provide ade-

    quate access, not only to the Centre itself

    but also to Curro; no Shopping Centre, er-

    go, no improvement for the Curro access.

    This is ridiculous and a misrepresenta-

    tion of the facts. Since when has the mu-

    nicipality nothing to do with our roads?

    Depending on conditions of the relevant

    development approvals, the financial bur-

    den for changes to the road infrastructure

    can be placed on the developer but not the

    planning responsibility.

    During approval for Curro the infra-

    structure requirements for the school

    must have been part of the environmental

    assessment and projected scholar num-

    bers as well as traffic numbers must have

    been on the table. To ignore these require-

    ments in thehope that someotherdevelop-

    er may solve the problem is highly irre-

    sponsible.

    Infrastructure and Planning should

    stand up to its responsibilities and accept

    that the department slippedup in develop-

    ing this particular junction. Probably at

    no point in time were the required finan-

    ces provided for or allocated as themunic-

    ipality was waiting for the outside devel-

    oper. This in itself is no problem; the sys-

    tem sometimes works like that.

    R BEUNINK

    ONRUS

    Stephen Mller, Director: Infra-

    structure and Planning at Overstrand

    Municipality, responds:

    Regarding the suggestion to introduce a

    4-way stop I would like to comment as fol-

    lows:

    The overall volume of traffic inBergzicht

    Street does not warrant the installation of

    a 4-way stop at the intersection with Main

    Road. The congestion is only experienced

    for 30 minutes in the morning and 20 min-

    utes at midday. A 4-way stop will only mar-

    ginally improve the level of service for ap-

    proximately one hour per day but will be

    very inconvenient for users of Main Road

    for the remaining 23 hours of the day.

    Regarding the timing of the required up-

    grading of the intersection, I would like to

    comment as follows:

    The upgrading of this portion of Berg-

    zicht Street (including a traffic circle at

    Main Road) was planned for implementa-

    tion with the development of the Sandbaai

    Commonage.

    Because of the great need for more educa-

    tion facilities inHermanus, themunicipali-

    ty approved the development of the school

    on a portion of the commonage before a de-

    veloper was secured for the commonage as

    a whole.

    Themotivationwas to secureagoodqual-

    ity education facility for the communityand

    have it available as soon as possible. The

    developer of the school was ready to start

    immediately and the municipality did not

    want to risk losing such an opportunity for

    investment by insisting that the develop-

    ment of the whole commonage happens at

    the same time.

    There is no link between the development

    of the Sandbaai Shopping Centre and the

    upgrade of this portion of Bergzicht Street

    this was an unfortunate misquote in the

    newspaper article.

    Regarding the responsibility of the re-

    quired upgrading of the intersection, I

    would like to comment as follows:

    The internal road network of municipal

    streets belongs to the municipality and the

    municipality is responsible for the provi-

    sion, operation andmaintenance of the net-

    work.When a development is approved, the

    developer is required to provide the infra-

    structure required to address the impact of

    the development on municipal infrastruc-

    ture. This is normally done by paying a

    Bulk Infrastructure Contribution Levy

    (BICL).

    The municipality uses the BICL to up-

    grade the municipal services required for

    the development. This includes upgrades to

    the water, sewer, electricity, roads and

    storm water infrastructure.

    I trust this provides more clarity on the

    situation.

    verwaarloosde en oorgroeide le erwe.

    Na die onlangse bergbrand en die gevaar

    wat dit vir huise en inwoners in Chanteclair,

    Berghof, Onrus Manor, Kidbrooke en Curro

    ingehou het, is dit uiters noodsaaklik dat die

    munisipaliteit ook die skoonmaakbeleid in n

    area soos Vermontmeer daadwerklik toepas.

    Ons is volkome vertroudmet die prosedure

    van aanmelding, die kennisgewing wat aan

    eienaars uitgestuur word (of nie uitgestuur

    word nie) ens. maar die klagte blyk meestal

    op dowe ore te val, want die erwe is glo nie

    n brandgevaar nie.

    Ons laat ons nie vertel dat erwemet indrin-

    gers soos Port Jacksons en dooie bietous wat

    in soveel as vyf jaar nie verwyder is nie, nie

    n brandgevaar inhou nie.

    Daar is ook al by geleentheid aan ons ges

    dat dit baie duur geword het vir eienaars om

    erwe te laat skoonmaak.

    Mense, as jy in Kaapstad of Pretoria woon

    en n erf hier besit, kan jy seer sekerlik ook

    Hit and runandno recourse?

    On Sunday 1 February I was sitting in my

    car in a parking bay at the Gateway Super-

    Spar while my husband went into the shop.

    A man in a Rav4J drove into the bay next

    to me at great speed and hit my car, scratch-

    ing it all along the drivers side.

    He was so close I could not get out of the

    car, so I opened the window and said you

    just hitmy car. His replywas park proper-

    ly, why dont you.

    The time was 15:00 andmost parking bays

    were empty.

    His passenger was in the seat behind him

    I think they were having a row. He raced

    off into the shop and I had to reverse to get

    out of my car. I went in after him and said

    You have scratched my car and we need

    to exchange details. Can I have your name?

    He shot off down an aisle and turned to

    me and said again park properly in future

    and stormed off.

    So I went out and took photos of his regis-

    tration and disc and his bumper that still

    had my paint on it. I reported it to the police

    station. He has a Botswana licence plate.

    I phoned my insurance company and the

    damage is R7 000. I will now lose my no

    claimsbonus, etc.The insurance said I could

    try 3rd party.

    My question is does one get away with

    something like this? Just hit and run and

    I have no recourse?

    The police said they could do nothing as

    no onewas injured. They said to try the traf-

    fic department to get his name, but that de-

    partment said they did not have his name

    and sent me back to see a detective at the

    police station. Is there any possibility of

    finding the owner of this car?

    So no matter how safe you feel sitting in

    your car in a nice open parking lot, you still

    can be faced with a hit and run, as this

    is exactly what it is.

    en persoonlik sy bydrae ter samewerking deur

    te gee.

    Lekker weer hier

    Genoeg is genoeg, skryf n leser, hy wil nou weet

    (nie later nie) waaromDie Overberg voor in die tou

    staanwanneermooiweeruitgedeelword.Dit is soos

    RiaanCruywagen opHaasDas seNuuskas ges het:

    dieweerisomgekrapmaarelders isditmooiweer.

    Elders is Hermanus, het Riaan gese toe ek hom vra.

    Dit is nie fair playnie, skryfHansieTheronvan

    Calvinia, waar die barometer deesdae wil bars van

    die hitte en hy wat n hartlyer is, koers moet vat

    na sy vakansiehuis op Hermanus.

    InCalvinia rondhet almal loopneuse vandie ysli-

    ke verskil in temperature saans 12 en bedags 36.

    En dit terwyl die Overstranders die matigste weer

    denkbaar in die land geniet.

    Nie dat dit nie op Hermanus se berge ook ren

    nie, maar dit is skaars genoeg om gerus te wees oor

    die dorpsdam se watervlak.

    Vatnoumaarvandag(Donderdag).Daaris18ver-

    skil op Calvinia en op Hermanus net 6.

    Dit is nie uit die duim gesuig nie, die gemiddelde

    patroon is presies dit: Calvinia 9 tot 32 vanaand

    enHermanus n genoeglike 18 in die aandwat van-

    dag maar by die 24 gedraai het.

    Kyk ons na die lesings in die bolug sien ons dat

    die Atlantiese hoogdrukstelsel weer tot 50 grade

    suid in die Arktiese See afdwaal om die koue lug

    letterlik aan die keel te gryp en in die rigting van

    die IndieseOseaan te slinger.Maar daar tussen

    50gradesuiden35gradeoos (byMarion-eiland)

    loop die koue hulle teen die warmweer van die

    ooste vas en stuur dit in die rigting vanAustra-

    li, waar dit dalk ook iets goeds kan beteken.

    Dit wil voorkom asof die lugstroom wat oor

    die grootste deel van die Suid-Kaap vloei n ge-

    balanseerdemengsel is van die laagdruk en die

    hoogdruk se effek op die seewater en dit net ge-

    noeg verhit vir die matige weer wat dan van

    Mosselbaai af weswaarts in die rigting van die

    Skiereiland dryf.

    Die verwagting is dat die matige lugvloei ge-

    noeg wolke bymekaar kan skraap om 0,4 mm

    vog teversamel ensoosdouenmistigheid terug

    te gooi aarde toe.Mens kan dit beswaarlik ren
