National Braai Day -

hierdie ding doen ons saam

Tuesday, the 24th of september, is National Heritage day or as it is now officially known National Braai Day. On this day all South Africans are encouraged to celebrate our cultural traditions.

“When our first democratically-elected government decided to make Heritage day one of our national days, we did so because we knew that our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation,” former President Nel-son Mandela said in a 1996 address marking Heritage Day.

In 2005 a rebranding of the holiday as National Braai Day was punted via a popular and well received media campaign. 2007 saw the appoint-ment of the notable and charismatic, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, as patron of South Africa’s Braai Day

Hakskeenpan, Baardskeerdersbos, Putsonderwater, snaakse Afrikaanse plekname

BEST DEALS!

and at the end of the same year the initiative changed their name to Braai4Heritage.

While an initial call by the Braai4Heritage to shift the emphasis to a more uniting theme that sought to shift the emphasis from our diver-sity to celebrating our common roots by having a braai, was snubbed by the National Heritage Council (NHC) the popularity and high profile en-dorsement of the proposal meant it was simply a matter of time before the NHC officially endorsed the ini-tiative.

“When we all gather round one fire...It’s a fantastic thing, a very simple idea. Irrespective of your poli-tics, of your culture, of your race, of your whatever, hierdie ding doen ons saam [this thing we do together] ... just South Africans doing one thing together, and recognizing that we are

a fantastic nation,” Archbishop Tutu said in 2008.

On page 4 and 5, we tell you more about the Kowie Festival and the Engela Neethling Boere-wors Competition to be held in Wharf Street. We hope you will join the day’s festivities.

This year the theme for Heri-tage Month, as determined by the department of arts and Culture, is Reclaiming, Restor-ing and Celebrating our Living Heritage. “This theme is a call to recognise the importance of our tangible heritage; our museums, commemorative sites and inter-pretation centres, in building an

inclusive society,” the Minister of arts and Culture, Paul Mashatile said.

Read our story on page 3 about the future of the Kowie Museum and offer your support to our lo-cal initiative in recognising and preserving heritage.

If you are suffering from colds and flu or secondary bacteriological infections of the nose, throat, lungs and ears, using Linctagon for support makes more than just sense.

Entries to be in by 12pm on Wednesday

WHIle Tuesday is National Braai Day Sunday the 22nd is International Rhino day and sees Kenton on Sea celebrat-ing our heritage under threat by hosting one of the National Rhino Run events.

Over 200 participants are expected to participate in the event which starts at Home-woods and ends at Kariega’s beautiful Blue Flag Beach. While on-line registrations have closed late entries are still possible on saturday be-tween 16:00–18:00 and on Sunday from 06:30 until 08:30 at Homewoods.

The event is a trail run through scenic beach and bush terrain that includes the mag-nificent Eco Estate options and offers three options - 6km, 12km or 20km-.

The event kicks off at 08:45 for the 20km race, 09:00 for the 12km race and 09:15 for the 6km race. The prize giving is at 11:30 and there are fabu-lous spot prizes to be won and special events such as a sand sculpture competition, music and more which makes for a fantastic family outing.

The Rhino Run was inspired by a tragic poaching incident at the Kariega Game Reserve

near Kenton in 2012, when three of their rhino were bru-tally poached. Kariega’s only survivor, Thandi, is still an in-spiration to many today and remains a symbol of hope and strength for the massive anti-rhino poaching movement.

as a result of this story, the Rhino Run was born. The Rhino Run Team, Free Spirit Adven-tures, are all passionate trail runners, and feel that they have a responsibility to care for the environment that they love to run in. Their idea is to unite an entire country of trail runners in the war on rhino poaching, and to help grow the sport of trail running at the same time.

Other host cities for the same event are Port Elizabeth, Johan-nesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfon-tein and Durban. Beneficiaries for the event are Chipembere Rhino Foundation, Wilderness Foundation Forever Wild’s In-jection Fund and OSCAP.

Well done to Jo Wilmot of Route 72 and Rooting-for-Rhi-no is championing the Kenton-on-Sea event.

Celebrities from the rhino conservation world taking part in the event include Dr William Fowlds, and Brent and Chan-telle Cook from Chipembere

Appeal for support in relocation of Kowie Museum

THe Kowie Museum Board of Trustees has announced that the future of the Museum has been secured and that it will move to the unoccupied part of the Port Alfred Station. This must come as welcome news to those of you who have followed the woes of the Kowie Museum and, particularly, for those who were worried about its continued existence.

The move ends a long period of insecurity for the Museum, and was made possible by the trans-fer of the property from Transnet to Ndlambe Municipality. There are consequences and costs, how-ever, and various resources are required to move the Museum: money, labour, transport, materi-als. The museum belongs to all in Ndlambe and we appeal to people to ‘take possession’ of it.

We need white paint (exterior

and interior), light fittings, materi-als to make free standing exhibit panels, bubble wrap, hessian, small tables with chairs, an urn, etc.

Any contractor able to help with repairing the roof in a few places, as well as an electrical contrac-tor who can help with making the electrics more robust and suitable for Museum lighting purposes would be really appreciated.

Please note that the Museum will be closed for visitors from Fri-day, September 20 to October 25, to facilitate packing, moving and setting up the new home of the Museum.

Contact the curator, Dick Schuur-man, on 046 624 4713 or 083 438 1029, if you are able to contribute or donate.

Haven Hospice (USA) visit to Port Alfred

GINa FLOreNce

THe Sunshine Coast Hospice is currently host-ing representatives from Haven Hospice, based in Gainesville, Florida (USA). Representatives of the organisation were touring care facilities throughout the eastern Cape prior to attending the fourth tri-ennial African Palliative Care Conference (APCA) in Johannesburg from the 17th to the 20th September 2013.

Haven Hospice, which has partnered with the in-ternational conglomerate, Foundation for Hospices in Sub Saharan Africa (FHSSA), has thus far toured the Sunshine Coast and Grahamstown Hospices with a view to strengthening international partner-ships in providing compassionate care and fostering a bias- free public education on the important and positive role of hospice. “We need to shift cultural perceptions away from the stigma attached to dy-ing. It’s not about that. It is about living life to the fullest,” representative, Pam Giebeig, said.

Thus far, the team found their experience to be both rewarding and humbling. “Some caregivers in the townships are walking twenty miles a week to support their patients. The self-sacrifice is inspira-tional,” Katie Alpahando said. Vonceil Levine added that “in terms of patient load and receiving funding from organizations we face the same challenges, but we have much better resources”. The team noted that some of South Africa’s challenges lie in the ne-cessity for specialist training, particularly with re-gard to the high prevalence of HIV+ and TB diagno-ses; support groups for children and bereavement counselling; and a severe shortage of medical equip-ment. “Here we’re seeing challenges with funding for healthcare, (but there is) a collaborative and passionate effort between organizations to come up with creative solutions. To see them deal with such limitations motivates me,” Levine added, stressing that “people need to understand that their individ-ual support can go a long way. With whatever you decide to donate, even if it’s R10…your monies will touch and impact lives”.

Sunshine Coast Hospice would like to add their heartfelt gratitude to those who supported the re-cent Spring Spectacular. To coincide with World Hos-pice Day there will be a big walk from Port Alfred to Kleinemonde on the 6th of October 2013. Anyone interested in participating or making a donation is welcome to visit the Hospice office at 1 Alfred Road, Port Alfred, or you can contact them telephonically on 046 624 4107.

Proud to support Cansa

THe Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is a non-profit organisation leading the fight against cancer in South Africa by focussing on three key areas: enabling research, educating the public and providing support to all people affected by cancer.

CaNsa spends around R6 mil-lion each year on a variety of research projects arranged into four categories. The first three categories are all in-house stud-ies while the fourth is of national importance and features multi-institutional and multi-disciplin-ary approaches. Type A research is executed by researchers at recognised institutions such as universities and cancer institu-tions; Type B research exam-ines identified environmental carcinogens and their impact; Type C places the emphasis on the patient-orientated services of the organisation; while Type D refers to a partnership project between The Cancer Initiative of South Africa (CARISA) and the Medical Research Council (MRC)

The CANSA education drive focusses on prevention and ear-ly detection campaigns that are

launched around the country during the course of the year: SunSmart and Environment – January to February; Balanced Lifestyle; No-Tobacco; CANSA on the Move for the Youth; Wom-en’s Health and Men’s Health. With one in four people poten-tially affected by cancer during their lifetime CANSA believes

that “the most effective weapon against cancer is knowledge”.

CANSA provides support for the person diagnosed and their loved ones they are firm believ-ers in the need of a good sup-port system from the time of diagnosis through all the phases of need. Through a variety of support groups they connect pa-

tients with long-term survivors and their loved ones, those who have ‘been there’ as it were, and who are able to offer, inspiration, understanding and insight.

a small donation of R60 af-fords the patient or a loved one an individual counselling ses-sion to help them with the emo-tional and mental burdens and

stresses triggered by their expe-riences with cancer.

A variety of medical equip-ment is available on loan and wigs can be rented or purchased too. One way in which the avail-ability of wigs is made possible is through a project called The Ma-rie Claire Kindest Cut Campaign. Read more about this project here: http://www.cansa.org.za/

marie-claire-kindest-cut-cam-paign/ and here: http://www.

cansa.org.za/donating-human-hair-to-make-wigs-availability-

of-wigs/Through their active watchdog

role the organisations advocates and lobbies in order to educate our decision makers and the public as well as creating an awareness of patients’ rights. As such they have played among others a major role in the No To-bacco legislation and No Sunbed petition, they successfully lob-bied for compulsory vaccination against the Hepatititus B virus – a major cause of liver cancer - and they successfully advocated for an affordable human papil-loma virus (HPV) vaccine that could eradicate cervical cancer.

CANSA champions advocacy, education, research and support

Show your support for CANSATHeRe are so many ways in which you can support CANSA - firstly you can join the fun on National Braai Day in Wharf street, Port alfred, in support of our fundraising effort but here are a few other fun options for you to explore. (Fun, laughter and bucket loads of support are what you need when you or a loved one is diagnosed).

Host a Cuppa for CANSA – so easy to do and what fun, go over-the-top and organise a high-tea for your friends and colleagues. Grow a moustache

for Movember - easy enough one for the guys but ladies nothing stops you from draw-ing on a pencil thin one with eye-liner in support or wear-ing a fake one – in fact this is another huge fundraising op-portunity, where our public fig-ures can ‘disfigure’ themselves momentarily to raise funds for a worthy cause.

Participate in a Shavathon (no it doesn’t all have to come off there are other ways to par-ticipate in this fun event) – and if you have never shaved it all off, as a seasoned shaver it is

quite a liberating experience, I stopped once my son, a survivor, reached his Warrior status (10 years) and am now showing my on-going support by doing the opposite growing and not cutting my hair at all.

Participate or arrange a Relay for Life – this is a wonderful community event that affords everyone (irrespective of age) the oppor-tunity to participate and honour those who have been touched by cancer. Teams of 10-15

friends, neighbours, families and co-workers commit to having at least one team member walking around the track at all times for 18-24 hours – a symbolic gesture, because cancer neither slumbers nor sleeps. The opening lap honours cancer survivors and their caregivers. After sun set, tribute is paid in a very emotive Luminaria Ceremony by lighting candles in-side luminaria bags which encircle the track. These luminaria bags are dedicated to those who have the lost their battle, to those who are still fighting and to those who have won their struggle against cancer. Teams are encouraged to raise funds in support of the fight against cancer in the region where the Relay is being held. Teams camp out overnight around the track and enjoy entertainment, fun and cama-raderie in a festival-like atmosphere.

and the last one is one that I am sure will find favour with our Sunshine Escape readers given the weekly golf results we publish – par-ticipate in the Sanlam Cancer Challenge. For more information on this or any of other fund-raisers mentioned visit http://www.cansa.org.za/fundraising-events-and-projects/

WHaT a wonderful af-ternoon's Croquet as a 'thank you tribute' to Ja-net Thatcher who taught most of the 'B Section' players and enjoyed by all the other B Section play-ers! Janet had a ball!! she revelled in all the praise justifiably lavished on her and in fact showed us all that she is still a player of no mean ability, having won several of the many wonderful prizes on offer! Hilary & Colin Murray & Peter Wandsell were the prime movers & organizers. The 'behind the scenes lady', Hilary, without whom it could not have happened, was in fact the mega star. We would also like to thank her two 'side kicks', Co-lin and Peter, for the fun and wonderful camara-derie they gave us all! Your Buffet Lunch, Hi-lary, was amazing and to Peter our 'braaifest master extraordinaire',

what a wonderful way to finish such an enjoyable afternoon! Many thanks, also to Johan, Noeline, Val, Joanna, Trish & Phyl (&Toby) for their help, support and assistance! It was a really magic way to spend a sunday after-noon and evening. Well done to everyone and again thank you to Janet for all her help, coaching and encouragement, our Club would not be the same without her.

We also extend belated birthday greetings to Mick Tuck for the 18th of september and many happy birthday wishes to our Croquet Captain, Phyl Russell, for the 26th of September. We all have Phyl in our thoughts, es-pecially, as her husband is still 'battling it out' in Greenacres Hospi-tal. Please all try to get your Club Championship matches played when-ever you can!

I am going slightly off the beat-en track this week and into the realm of vehicle insurance, a headache for most of us. Un-fortunately a world with no ac-cident damage or theft doesn’t exist, so we are stuck with in-suring our vehicles in order to get a decent night’s sleep.

It is not only a necessity for peace of mind but also a re-quirement for any vehicle fi-nanced by a finance company. Many people are unaware of the fact that the purchaser is not obliged to accept the insurance package offered by the financial institution, but are at liberty to get comparative prices and select the deal that suits them best.

It is often preferable and cer-

tainly my choice to use an insur-ance brokerage that is available at all times, particularly when using a locally based brokerage. The personal attention gives you confidence in the product and reassurance when an acci-dent or theft occurs.

For example a broker can advise you about glitches that could have a huge financial im-pact on you, such as the follow-ing scenario: If you have bought a car for a child at university in Port Elizabeth but you live in Port Alfred and you have the ve-hicle registered at the Port Al-fred home address, there could be a problem. The premiums are lower for Port alfred than for Port Elizabeth BUT should you not inform the insurer of

this technicality – that Port Eliz-abeth is now your child’s prima-ry residence - and the vehicle is involved in accident or stolen in Port Elizabeth, the insurance becomes null and void. City cen-tres, towns and rural areas are categorised into different sec-tions as there is higher risk fac-tor in a in a more densely popu-lated area. Your local broker can also visit you at home and help you evaluate your property and personal belongings for a com-prehensive combined package.

Your motor vehicle depreci-ates in value every year and a premium adaption should be done accordingly. Owners of ve-hicles that are very old should at least have alternative insurance if a fully comprehensive option

is not feasible. Alternatives are: balance of third party, fire and theft or third party only. Here for example is a sampled quote for a 28 year old male, owning a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6 val-ued at R120,000:

1. Comprehensively insured - R874.09 per month.

2. Balance of third party fire and theft - R149.16, per month.

3. Third party only - R85.66 per month

Balance of third party fire and theft helps with legal costs, re-funding the value of the car in case of theft or fire and covering a third party’s vehicle in case of an accident when you are at fault. Third party only covers the other vehicle in case of an accident that is your fault.

ONe may want to look twice when review-ing the results of the Kingswood College, Girls Hockey 1st XI, after the remarkable success that the side has enjoyed this sea-son. The brand of hockey played and the talent that shone throughout the year was refreshing.

In total, the team played 28 matches this year, winning 22 of them, drawing three and losing three. This success has led to an unheralded eight First team members be-ing chosen to represent Eastern Province earlier this year, with five of them - Shan-non arnold, Celeste du Toit, siwe Kuse, Laura Bennett and Ella Wright - represent-ing the EP Under-18A side.

Much of the credit for the exceptional season must go to the coach and Head of Girls Hockey, Jeanette Makkie, who has taken the world of age group hockey by storm. Makkie previously coached the South African Under-18 side, was the assis-tant coach for the national Under-21 team, and has been the Eastern Province Under-18 coach for the last five seasons. Since she took charge three years ago, the First team has gone from strength to strength and are now regularly one of the top schools on the official South African School Sports Girls Hockey Rankings. This is proof that Kingswood hockey is beginning to make waves not only in the province, but around the country.

Makkie looks back at the past three years with fond memories. “I came here from an all-girls school, so it was an adjustment with Kingswood being a co-ed school. When I started I found that it was impor-tant go back to the basics, and since then we have steadily climbed the ladder,” she

said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the experi-ence,” she added.

It is clear that the foundation that Makkie has laid has ensured that the future looks bright for the Kingswood female hockey play-ers. Aimee-Leigh Pote, who has been a pro-lific goal scorer this year, Hannah Knott-Craig and Erin Shillaw all represented EP Under-16A this year, and have a number of years left at the school. Four of the matric girls, Fikilie Mahlati, Shannon Arnold, Siwe Kuse and Laura Bennett were awarded Hockey Honours at a recent ceremony. Makkie holds each of them in high regard and believes that they have the potential to grow even more as hockey players in the future.

With the current structures promoting the opportunity for girls to gain First team expe-rience from a young age, the talent pool at Kingswood College is stronger than ever. It appears that for this First team, the only way is up.
