PROMISINGFIGURES: POSSIBLY RECORDNUMBEROF TOURISTS

Hermanusexperiencesbumper seasonKERRY VAN RENSBURG

While tourism role players are still ana-lysing the finerdetailsof thesummerhighseason, for many in the industry it hasbeen busier than ever.

BlakeAlbert,GMof theWindsorHotel says:“Itwasaverysuccessfulseason.Wehavebeenon thegosince lateJulyandhave indeedexpe-rienced fiverecordmonths inarow.Occupan-cy rates are up 35% in that period. We did notexperience the two-weekdip thatnormallyoc-curs in the beginning of December.”He says therewas amarked increase in for-

eign tourists in this time.“The seasonshowsnosignsof lettingupun-

til the end of April and the forward bookingsfor next season are extremely positive.“Onemustsay ‘welldone’ to themunicipali-

ty for coping with the influx of tourists to thetown and keeping the town clean and safe.And ‘well done’ to the people of Hermanus for

making us one of the most popular places tovisit. Long may it last.”Celeste Scheepers, manager of the Herma-

nus Tourism Bureau, says their accommoda-tion bookings peaked between 26 and 31 De-cember. She says: “This was the period a lotof enquiries camevia the tourismbureau andmost of the time we could not assist.Scheepers confirms that the self-catering

establishments were booked up first, withB&Bs mostly booked out between 24 and 31December.She says the visitors were “mostly local

with some international guests”.Therewerevery fewwalk-insat thebureau.

Most people booked and confirmed accommo-dation before arrival.Tours, activities and adventure packages

that proved most popular included tree-topslides and quad biking, kayaking, shark-cagediving, and hikes, walks and activities forchildren.Scheepers says accommodation establish-

ment owners were “very busy and exhaust-ed”. Shesays the towndefinitely lookedmuchbusier than last year.“With regards to trends, we are definitely

experiencing people booking their accommo-dation on-line via the Internet. Visitors arestaying for shorter periods of time and twoor more families are enjoying the holiday to-gether.Mary Faure, chairperson of Hermanus

Tourism says that these trends confirm thatHermanus is growing as a tourism destina-tion.“We still need to confirm final numbers,

trends and prospects with the parties in-volved in tourism promotion and develop-ment, but I believe that we have had a verysuccessful season inHermanus and theOver-berg in general. We enjoyed superb weatherandapart from the expected growth in accom-modation occupancy rates, restaurant coversand business sales, the greater Hermanus in-frastructure and support services coped ad-

mirably with the demands of, what could be,a record number of tourists this season.“Our municipal support services must be

thanked, especially the traffic departmentand the water, sanitation, electricity andrefuse removal services, our local police andother security and protection services and, ofcourse, our Hermanus residents who all dis-played utmost patience and courtesy duringthe welcome “siege” by tourists.“The Hermanus Tourism office staff must

also be commended for their extra efforts andexcellent services that underline our serious-ness in becoming one of the prime tourismdestinations for local and foreign tourists tothe Western Cape.“Wewillnowevaluateandanalyse the tour-

ismstatistics,successesandconstraintsof thepastseasonindetailwiththoseconcerned.Wewill, as appropriate, report back to the public,through the Hermanus Times and other me-dia,on these findingsandpossiblerecommen-dations,” concludes Faure.

He says he sawa woman venture into the sea being swept off her feet and then be­ing rescued by three fully clothed men. He thought it was Ghanie Kui­per, who swims most days, but she says she did not go swimmingthe day after Christmas as the surf was too strong. The lifesavers’lookout stand was also wrecked and washed away by the turbulentwaves. PHOTO: NEIL MALAN

Gansbaai, Overstrand Traffic, fire and res-cue services, workedwith the police stationsin theareaswheresizeableamountsof liquorand fireworks were confiscated.On New Year’s Eve, 750 ml of hard liquor

FRATSGOLWE IN ONRUS-STRANDMEER: Op 26Desember is die NSRI aangesê om op gereedheids­grondslag te wees by die meeste strande weens daardiedag se onstuimige seetoestande en ­strome. Toe die On­rus­strandmeer oopgespoel het, was hierdie stuk stranddus uiters gevaarlik vir swemmers. In die foto kan ge­sien word hoe ’n klein dogtertjie daar speel, ’n paar se­kondes voordat ’n fratsgolf die strandmeer binnegespoelhet en een van die lewensredders haar net betyds uitdie water kon gryp.

In hierdie foto kan gesien word hoe die watervlak vandie strandmeer gelyk het sekondes nadat die frats­bran­der deurgespoel het en die dogtertjie uit die water ge­gryp is. Lewensredders en ouers moes behoorlik bont­staan om kinders uit die water te haal.

The KukumakrankaChroniclesOn a Sunday evening in DecemberAnina Leegot a call from an excited Frank Woodvine,elder statesman of the Hermanus BotanicalSociety and former curator of the FernkloofNature Reserve, who asked her: “Have youever seen a kukumak-ranka?”

“There are some inflower on the site that’sbeing bulldozed for de-velopment (the new On-cology centre oppositeHuis Lettie Theron).”Frank explained. “I ha-ven’t seen them in fouryearsand that is theonlyspot where they still ex-ist in Greater Herma-nus.”This phone call led to

aseriesofevents, includ-ing “crime taping” thescene.Anina says she had

once read an article inVeld and Flora, but hadnot seen any kukumak-ranka in flower, as theydo so extremely infre-quently and only for three to four days.Frank had also asked a few concerned peo-

ple to meet at the site the next morning to de-cide what to do about these elusive flowers.“Dr Pat Miller (member of the Hermanus

Botanical Society and Board Member ofWhale Coast Conservation area), Frank andI turned up to a spectacular show of at least100smallwhite flowerswithbrightyellowsta-mens,” Anina tells.“The undersides of thewhite petals are fur-

ther adorned with a natty ‘racing stripe’ indark maroon.”

Thethreebotanicalmusketeersdecided notto try to relocate the flowers, but toworkwiththe municipality, contractor and the site’sowners to cordon off the relatively small areawheretheygrow,so Frankplantedsomestout

stakes while Patwound some red-and-white “crime-scene’ tape aroundthem.Theythencontact-

ed the relevant role-players to ‘maak ’nplan’ and John Sim-son and Liezl Bez-uidenhout of theOverstrand Munici-pality immediatelyreacted.The kukumakran-

ka (Gethyllis sp. ofthe Amaryllidaceaefamily) bears ascented, creamy-or-ange club-shapedfruit that emergesfrom the ground inautumn.Only once it has

fallen down and released its seeds, do theleaves appear, during the winter rains. Theleaves havewithered away by spring and theflowers that doappear, thendo so inmid-sum-mer.Flowering is totally dependent on weather

conditions, such as a change in barometricpressure in mid-summer.When flowering occurs, the abundant pol-

len serves to attract pollinators, thought to bebees, within a three-day window period.AnarticlebyChrisDaniels intheDecember

2014 issue of Veld and Flora notes the tradi-tional use of the plant for medicinal andhealth purposes.Itwas an earlyCape-Dutch remedy for colic

and indigestion, also used for fatigue, boilsand insect bites. The flowers and fruit areknown to be especially rich in anti-oxidantsthought to counteract degenerative disorderssuchasAlzheimer’s, various cancers and cor-onary heart disease.

“It’s endemic to the Western Capeand grows on sandy low-lying areas,”Frank said.“Theseareashavenowlargelydisap-

peared under humandevelopment andthis little patch of occasional white isthe last of itskindremaining ingreaterHermanus.Unlesswecanprotect themwe may not see them again.”

A group of aspirant botanists from MountPleasant Primary School were intrigued bythe novelty of three seemingly sane peoplegetting so excited over tiny white flowers.But due to their exposure to Whale CoastConservation’s environmental education pro­gramme in their school they soon appreciat­ed the significance of this shy little flower.

Kasregistersklingel tydensdie feesseisoenJAN-HENDRIK COETZER

Besighede in Hermanus is dit grootlikseensdatdit ’n geweldigebedrywige feessei-soen was en daar selfs meer feesgangers asverlede jaar na die Overstrand gestroomhet.

Omparkering te krywas ’n uitdaging. Inwo-ners vertel die parkeerarea by Checkers moessoms “toemaak” want daar was net te veel mo-tors. En by Gateway was geduld ook nodig.Die Hermanuspietersfonteinmark op 26 De-

sember was “chaos” vertel ’n ander groep watmoes omdraai omdat daar nie “plek vir ’nmuis” was nie.Van die rakke by verskeie supermarkte was

somsbykans leeg soos inkopers hul trollies volgelaai het, voor nuwe voorraad afgelewer enuitgepak kon word.Stephan Pretorius, eienaar van OK Mini-

markinVoëlklip,seeerste feesseisoenasbesig-heidseienaar in Hermanus was ’n goeie tyd.“Ons is goed ondersteun. Alhoewel die toue

soms vreeslik lank was, is kliënte baie vinniggehelp.Volgende jaarsalonskykomdalkvoor-raad vroeër in te koop.

“Baie van die Gautengers lyk my is op hier-die Tim Noakes-dieet en het ons veral uit pro-dukte soos room, botter en spek geraak. Parke-ring was ook ’n probleem en sal ons kyk ommeer parkering om die gebou te kry.”Díe banting-dieet was seker ook ’n rede vir

die vinnige uitverkoop van biltong by die On-rus-slaghuis. Veertig bokse biltong van 10 kgelk is reeds voor Kersfees verkoop.“Vanjaar se omset was dubbel dié van laas-

jaar en die beste Desember in 14 jaar,” sê eie-naar Bruce Streaton. “Verlede jaarwas ons be-sig van 15 Desember, maar vanjaar reeds van1Desemberaf.Alwatekkansê isonswaswerk-lik geseënd.”Mede-eienaar van OK Minimark in Onrus,

Esmarie Joubert, vertel ook van ’n groter om-set as voorheen.“Laasjaar was ons eerste jaar met die besig-

heid in Onrus en het ons geweldig baie geleerom te verseker dat dinge hierdie jaar seepgladverloop het. Die toue was lank en mense moesselfs indiehoofstraatbuitedieHandelspospar-keer. Alhoewel die weer laasjaar beter was,dink ek daar was vir seker meer vakansiegan-gers hierdie jaar.”Volgens Bertus van Zyl, vloerbestuurder by

Pick n Pay, het hulle soms gesukkel om voor-raad in te kry.“Besigheidsgewys het ons min of meer die-

selfde gedoen as laasjaar. Ons sou seker beterkondoenasonsnie sogesukkelhetmet sommi-ge voorraad nie, veral met die aflewering vanvarsprodukte.“Vreemd genoeg het ons gevind dat daar

meer uitlanders was as ander jare aangesiendie tyd vir oorsese toeriste in Hermanus ge-woonlik van Augustus tot November is.”FerdiPietersen, algemenebestuurderbyGa-

tewaySuperspar, beaamhul syfers isdefinitiefbeter as laasjaar. So ookBernvanNiekerk, eie-naar van Eastcliff Spar.“Daar was definitief meer mense hierdie

jaar,” sê Van Niekerk. “Seker die enigste pro-bleemwat ons ondervind het, is die feit dat onsoor die Kerstyd uit melk en room geraak het.En dan natuurlik is dit ook maar altyd ’n pro-bleem om by te bly met die ys.”Om voor te blymet roomyswas ook ’n uitda-

gingvirdienuut-geopendeDonGelato-roomys-winkel.As jynie indieoggendreeds jougunste-ling-geur roomys gekry het nie, was die keuseteen die middag se kant heelwat minder.

FOUND: This Bosch chainsaw was recovered by theHermanus Police. The ownerof this saw is asked to visitthe Hermanus Police Stationto identify and claim thesaw or contact 028 3137000.

‘Eskom salesmen’ con residentA Vermont resident wasvery surprisedwhenhewasconned by two “very profes-sionalsalesmen”duringthefestive season.The resident was at his

house inVermontwhen twounknown Indian men intheir mid-thirties, smartlydressed, casually enteredhis house.They showed him a pre-

sentation of Eskom for re-ducingthecostofelectricityby installing solar panels.According to lieutenant

Fadila September, they toldhim that he must pay R18500 and then a monthly in-stalment of R430 for fouryears.They requested his bank

card to swipeandhehandedit over.“They had a portable

speed point with them andthe resident typed his pinnumber in and the transac-tion went through.“They left and gave him

an instant water heater touse.He then received aSMS

stating that the amount ofR18 500 went of his straightaccount and not the budgetaccount and he contactedthe fraud division and in-formed them about the inci-dent,” September said.The man immediately

made enquiries to the com-panyGlobalEnergy inCapeTown and was informedthat thecompanydidnot ex-ist.The matter was reported

to the bank and the Herma-nus SAPS.

Sandbaai’s minitransfer station tobe phased outAt a meeting held last year, the ward com-mittee forWard 7 (Sandbaai andHemel-and-Aarde Estate) unanimously agreed that themini transfer station in Sandbaai should bedismantled and removed in its entirety.Originally instituted for the convenience

of weekenders and occupants of holidayhomeswhohadnoplace to leave theirhouse-hold refuse when departing, the mini trans-fer station never really succeeded in fulfill-ing this purpose and posed several opera-tional challenges.Amongst others, permanent residents

took to dumping builders’ rubble, gardenrefuse and redundant furniture at the site– a practice which is not only illegal but alsoattracts “scavengers” and causes “dump-ers” to be harassed by people looking forhand-outs.Seeing that the ward is being serviced by

a reliable and efficient system to removehousehold refuse and given that the minitransfer station would have to be moved inany case tomake room for a church that willsoon be erected in the vicinity, it was decid-ed that the site should be closed down alto-gether.Residents are reminded that household

refuse should only be placed out for collec-tion on the actual collection day. Those wholet their homes from time to time shouldmake arrangements with a neighbour/ac-quaintance to do so onbehalf of holidaymak-ers/weekenderswho depart prior to the offi-cial refuse collection day.Residents are reminded that only one bag

of garden refuse is allowed per householdper collection day. All excess garden refuseand other “abnormal waste” such as build-ers’ rubble, unused furniture, hazardousmaterials and discarded electronic equip-mentmust be transported to themain trans-fer station in Mbeki Street, the new parallelroad that runs betweenMount Pleasant andZwelihle, by the residents themselves.Any enquiries with regards to the closure

of the mini transfer station can be directedto Don Kearney, area manager, HermanusAdministration on 028 313 8112.

The mini transfer station in Sandbaai isgoing to be dismantled and removed.

“We really lost an icon who did everythingshe could for somanypeople. Shewill be trulymissed.”

In 2012 Doris joined the Hermanus HistorySociety and chairperson, Angela Heslop, de-scribesher as aspecialpersonwhowasgreat-ly committed to her community.

“Her commitment impressedme. Shewant-ed her community to thrive and over manyyears facilitated a variety of projects apartfrom being a committed teacher.”

The province’s other district on this listis the West Coast with an 88,4% pass rate.A total of 82,2% of learners in the West-

ernCapepassedthe2014NSCexamination.In 2013, the pass rate was 85,1%.According to Education MEC Debbie

Schäfer, this is a good pass rate, especiallygiven the indications that, in many re-spects, the examinations were reportedlymore difficult.“We are also especially proud that the

WesternCapehasagainachieved thehigh-est percentage of bachelor’s passes in thecountry, with 38,8% of learners achievingthis quality pass. We have also improvedour mathematics pass rate from 73,3% to73,9%. The pass rate for physical sciencesdecreased slightly by 1.9% to 70,7%.”

that of the 118 matriclearners registered for2014, 116 wrote the finalexams.He says only two

learners dropped out due to ill health.The 28 learners who achieved bachelor

passes, each received a laptop fromDennisEkbom. This is the third consecutive yearhe, and a small group of friends from Swe-den and Hermanus, have presentedlearners from Qhayiya with their own lap-tops.At the presentation, Mogamat Kamedi-

en, deputy principal of Qhayiya, said thatmany of the learners face huge challengesand adversity, which is why their success

is all the more heartfelt. Heencourages his learners toset goals and says many ofthem tell him: “I am tryingto get a laptop.” He says itmotivates them to do well.The school’s top achiever

for 2014 is Simamkele Dyas-ophi, who got distinctionsforbusiness studiesandeco-nomics, and the top mark(77%) for isiXhosa. Al-thoughshewasnotacceptedat CPUT (Cape PeninsulaUniversity of Technology)for business management,she says she is going to tryagain.A further 35 learners

earned diploma passes, and22 received higher certifi-cate passes.When congratulating the

Hermanus Hoërskool spog met ’n slaagsyfervan 99% – slegs twee matriekleerders het in2014 nie geslaag nie. Alhoewel die 2013 slaag-syfer 100% was, het die skoolhoof, Greg Has-senkamp,gesêdieuitslae lyksteedsbaiegoed.

“Dit gebeur van tyd tot tyd dat ’n leerder nieslaag nie en mens kan nie veel daaraan doen nie.Dis ’nbietjie van ’n terugslagvir ons,maarverderlyk die res van die resultate uitstekend.”Onder verlede jaar se 142 matriekleerders was

daar ’n totaal van 15 wat A’s gekry het. ’n Totaalvan 34 leerders het B’s gekry waarvan vyf 79%behaal het.“Dit staan hierdie studente vry om aansoek te

doen vir ’n hermerk as hulle voel hulle kanmoontlik ’n A-simbool kry,” sê Hassenkamp.Die toppresteerder vanjaar is Carly Hugo met

’n totaal van 94,17%.Hugo isookdieenigste leerderwatmeeras90%

Hawston jubel, stort ’n traanJANINE VAN DER RIET

Alhoewel Hawston Sekondêrse 2014 matriek-slaagsyfer ef-fens gedaal het, het dié skoolsteeds meer as genoeg redesom trots te wees.Hul topleerder, Abigail

Swartz, het die beste gemid-delde persentasie in die skoolse geskiedenis behaal met75,5% en twee onderskei-dings daarby.Sy is ook die eerste leerder

in die geskiedenis om ’n on-derskeiding in Biologie te be-haal.Net voor die matriekpunte

Dinsdag by Hawston Sekon-dêr deur die skoolhoof, IdyAdams, uitgedeel is, het hydie leerders toegespreek.Hy het sy ontevredenheid

uitgespreek oor die punte engesê die punte is die swakstedie afgelope vier jaar.Maar, hy het ook sy trots

uitgespreek oor die leerderswat wel hard gewerk het ombo uit te kom.Vanjaar het Hawston ’n

78,8% slaagsyfer behaal – 78leerders het geslaag, terwyl17 nie geslaag het nie.Adams verduidelik dat 12

van die 17 leerders verledejaar “deurgesit” moes word,en dat dit moontlik die redevir die groter getal druipelin-ge is.Volgenswetgewingmagleerders net een keer pergraad teruggehou word.Daarna moet hul na die vol-gende graad deurgesit word.Terwyl die punte uitgedeel

is, was daar by tye hoender-vleis-oomblikkemetgillevanblydskap wat die saal laatdreun het. Een leerder hetselfs op sy knieë gegaan enkliphard “Prys die Here” uit-geroep na hy sy uitslae ont-vang het. Daar was ook ’npaar tranevan teleurstelling.Adams het aan al die leer-

ders verduidelik dat, indienhulnie geslaaghetnie, ditniedie einde van die wêreld isnie.“Daar is ’n berader in die

biblioteekenekvradat juldieberader gaan sien voor julhier uitgaan vandag.“Van julle kwalifiseer ook

vir aanvullende eksamens.Ek raai jul aan om daarvoorin te skryf.”

Fireworks – fun for people, not so for animalsDid I see and hear right? Just beforemid-night on the eve of the New Year, eNewsbroadcast an interview on televisionwith a policeman in Gauteng. He, the po-liceman, made the statement that it wasokay for the public to let off fireworksfor an hour before and after midnight tosee in the new year.He also stated this was now legal but

that at any other time you would needa permit to either buy or sell fireworksand if you do not comply you could befined up to R1 500 for the first offence.I don’t care if it is a local, newly insti-

tutedby-law inGauteng, but tobroadcastit on national television, shows the mor-al disregard that some of our media areresponsible for.I do not condone any fireworks other

than professional pyrotechnics in astrictly controlled environment awayfrom animals.Amateurs who think that they are spe-

cialists in the art of pyrotechnics shouldbe heavily fined and the sale and settingoff of fireworks to the public, totallybanned and heavy penalties institutedfor those who break the laws.I do believe that Hermanus and its en-

virons have had a ban on amateur pyro-technics for a number of years, althoughit is difficult to control when there is aninflux of holiday makers and visitorsduring the festive season.Maybe there should be warnings post-

ed throughout the town and district dur-ing peak holiday season reminding andwarningvisitors that it is illegal to igniteand possess fireworks and that they willbe fined if they break the law with thepossibility of jail time if they harm otherpersons or animals.My staffie, Stan, is so traumatised by

fireworks that he will attack and even

chew through a door just to get awayfrom the noise of fireworks, and this isall thanks to Kimberley Municipality’sown celebratory fireworks display a fewyears ago where no warning was givento the public.Alas, this happened again on New

Year’s Eve here in our new home herein the Overstrand.As midnight approached there were

fireworks going off (some as loud as amortar bomb) all over Onrus and Ver-mont, especially near Davies pool andthe campground.The cacophony created by the barking

and other sounds of animals in distresswas alarming.After phoning the local police, who ac-

knowledged that fireworks and the set-ting off thereof was illegal and that theyhad had numerous complaints, did theyconfirm that they had sent out some oftheir units to investigate.Only at about 01:00 did the fireworks

stop, unfortunately too late for many oftheanimalsupsetall overourareawhoseowners had gone out celebrating.As midnight approached, we had to se-

date and lock both our dogs away fromthe noise and mayhem created by thenoise.Speaking to our vet this week, it seems

that the fireworks problem is a yearlyoccurrence and extremely difficult to en-force and control even with the threatof being fined.I thereforappeal toanyonewhoconsid-

ers setting off fireworks to realise theconsequences of their action and remem-ber, that any animal that you have trau-matised by your actionmay turn on you,and whose fault will that be?

Steeds geskok oorurine in stormwaterOns het al baie beleef en gesien,maarwat onsDinsdag 23 Desember 2014 beleef het, het onswragtig so geskok dat ons spraakloos was.’n Man in ’n rolstoel het voor die Birken-

Mydogalmostbecameowl food

Walking on the cliff path with my dog isone of my favourite things to do in Herma-nus. Dog owners and their well-behavedfour-legged friends on leashes are wellequipped with pooh bags and water beforethey stroll on the paths, meeting otherfriendly dogs and watching rock rabbitswho seem to be not afraid of them, knowingthey are under control on lead or very welltrained.OnFriday 5December at 19:00 on the path

leading down to the little bay covered inpebbles andmostly grey round stones rightnext to the one leading to the tidal pool infront of the Marine Hotel, Kompas and Iwere walking down the stairs....and sud-denly I heard a swooosh sound from the skyand something swooped down on Kompasmaking a “barking” wack-wack-wacksound and flew up to the rocks where it set-tled next to a bigger owl.I was sure we were walking too close to

theirnest and lookedaround to see if I couldspot an owl’s nest.When I could not see any nest, we contin-

ued walking down the stairs “promising”the owl couple we don’t intend harmingthem.After 30 seconds the swoosh noise came

again from behind and the owl attackedKompas again.This time I sawmydog’s hair flyingwhen

the owl tried to grab him behind his neck.The owl flew to the opposite cliff staring

at us from a rock ledge.I grabbed Kompas in my arms while beg-

ging the owl to leave us and tried to coverKompas with my torso while turning andrunning upstairs to get away.Lo and behold for a third time the owl

attacked Kompas while I held him tight tomy body.I screamed, waving my arm and the owl

flew to his companion.Being a tough little Border Terrier, Kom-

pas not once cried and was not hurt, butto me it was a very scary experience, al-though we both knew it was awesome to bepart of nature.Kompas weighs 7,5kg and could well be

seen as prey for the Cape Vulture Owl withhis coat colour being the same as that ofrock rabbits, as well as his size similar tothe fully grown ones.

Hoogdrukke beduiwel alsLaasnag, so rondom middernag, het die eerste bietjievog in vier dae oor die Overstrand begin indryf. Menskan dit ook skaars vog noem want dit is minder as0,01mmen sal in die niet verdwyn voor dit manhoogtevan die grond af is enmet sulke ongewone droë somer­toestande oor ons koppe, kan mens omtrent wonderof ons gou goeie reëns sal sien.Vandag kom darem nog sowat ’n half millimeter in­

gedryf. Top vakansieweer was dit ook nie want diebranders en die befoeterde getye het die hele kusge­bied laat regop sit, lewens geëis en plek­plek selfs va­kansies kortgeknip.So, oom Weerhaan sal nie vra hoe dit was nie en

diéwatwilweetwat dieweer vir ons inhou indiemaan­dewat komvoordiewinterreënshier is, is dieantwoordontwykend: “ek weet nie.”Wat alles so beduiwel, is die een na die ander hoog­

drukwat diep suid in die Antarktiese gebied rondkuier.Hulle is deel van die warm lugbolle wat die see tussenhier en die Australiese kus so omkrap met lugstormsen die arme mense aan daardie kant van die wêreldmet hittegolwe en veldbrande teister.Die oorsaak van alles is die huidige posisie van die

aarde en die maan teenoor die son. Ons is in ’n nuwebaan rondom die son en die aantrekkingskrag van diemaan op ons oseane is erg.Dit is ’n toestand wat dikwels voorkom en is inder­

daad voorspelbaar. Dit is die vername redewaarom ons voor die vakansie gewaarsku hetoor sterk seestrome en donderweer Oos­Kaapse kant toe. Teen 20 Januarie behoort die Over­strand sy ou self te wees.Die wind begin reeds afplat na rondom

4 km/h en die vog wat opbou kan begin wolkemaak. Die wind staan tot Dinsdag pal suidwes,wat baie help om ons koel te hou. Ons kan teendan selfs ligte neerslae kry. Dit sal hoofsaakliknet “spatsels” wees van die front wat suid vanons verby dryf.Heelwat lesers (Weerhaan self en vriendManie

AckermannvanStrand) hetMaandaggesienhoetwee lugkolomme (uit die noordweste en die suid­ooste) oor Worcester bots en die noordwes diesuidoos hoog in die lug nek omdraai.Ons kan maar net hoop dat die Indiese hoog­

druk­gebied nie so onstabiel bly en dalk ons kanttoe kom nie. Dan is nog meer brande dalk ookons voorland.

Mostly sunny conditions are expected for the weekend with a chanceof light rain passing through from next week. With the current highpressure conditions we can also expect very dry conditions togetherwith heatwaves which are ideal for the development and spread ofveld fires.

To theyoungsterswhomisbehaved - shameonyou!

To those young people who invaded OnrusRiver Village this holiday season and abusedour hospitality – shame on you!

When the holiday season approaches theCouncil and the Ratepayers Associationspend a lot of time sprucing up Onrus River.The sidewalks are mown, the grass at thebeach is regularly watered – often by hand– and arrangements are made to removewaste from the public bins more often thanusual. Then we wait to welcome visitors.

What a disaster! We were swamped by ahorde of young people who seemingly did notknow how to behave. You vandalised proper-ty, breaking off street names, overturningconcrete street names and breaking downsign posts. You broke the concrete trash binsby rolling them into the streets or down theparking area at the beach.

Who do you think pays for these repairs?You roam the streets in packs throughout

the night, using loud, foul language, openlydrinking in the streets and throwing bottles

over fences onto sidewalks. Do the conse-quences of broken glass where children walknot bother you?

Residents are too afraid to confront thesemisbehaving youngsters in fear of retalia-tion.

To the parents of these youngsters: “Didyou not teach your children to respect prop-erty, public or private? Is it acceptable to youthat your children are such an absolute nui-sance and a disgrace to the towns where theycome from? Please keep your children athome until they have grown up.

“Do not rent a home under the false preten-ces that you will be staying there and thenallow 18 youngsters in there!”

We the residents, love the vibe of the holi-day season in Onrus, where families cometo have a great time. Children are safe hereand it is a wonderful place. If you can’t showrespect, then rather stay at home and destroyyour own towns and homes.

Dubbeleaftrekkingopdebietkaart bykettingwinkel

Ekis ’ninwonervanHermanusenkoopgraagby die plaaslike Pick n Pay. Op Sondag 4 De-sember het ek ontdek dat my aankoop binne’n minuut tweemaal van my debietkaart ver-haal is.

Maandag het ek na die winkel gegaan enmy probleem gestel. Groot was my verbasingtoe eers ’n werknemer en toe die bestuurdermy verseker dat dit “dikwels gebeur”.

“Om die waarheid te sê, dit gebeur bykansdaagliks! Al wat u moet doen is om te wagvir 24 tot 48 uur en die bank sal die tweedetransaksie reverse.”

Toe ek voel dis onregverdig om die onusop die klant te plaas aangesien ek dink disdie winkel se fout, is ek aangesê om ’n bank-staat te gaan trek as die transaksie na 48 uurnog nie ge-reverse is nie. My staat sal dan aanhoofkantoor gestuur word vir regstelling.

Ek weet nie wat die prosedure by ander su-permarkte is nie, maar ek wil Hermanusserswaarsku om te alle tye alle transaksies na tegaan aangesien dit beslis jou probleem is as

’n winkel dieselfde bedrag tweemaal van jouverhaal.

Wat altyd vir my ’n goeie koopervaringwas, het nou ’n bietjie suur geword. Ek salmooi moet dink of ek steeds ’n klant van diekettinggroep wil wees.

Ek wonder ook hoeveel vorige dubbelver-halings het ek nie raakgesien nie?

BEKOMMERDE KOPER

Weare so sorryabout the inconvenience causedto the customer.This is due to a technical issue with the bankand a reversal is normally done within 24hours directly from the bank.We would be happy to assist the customer

First aidkit at businesses shouldbe compulsoryIn the time I have been privileged to live inthe Overstrand, I have seen the transforma-tion and developments that have changed ourspace from a sleepy but cuddly village to athriving small town.

I feel the next logical step is to make surethat all businesses that have direct dealingswith the public have one person on duty withsome first aid skills.

At the moment we are getting some strangereactions. Taking offence that anyone has theaudacity to be taken ill or ignore the injuredor ill person in the hope they may disappearin a puff of smoke. A first aid kit at each busi-ness should also be made compulsory. Wherethere are people there is always the risk oflittle mishaps. Let’s not ignore it.

BARBARA SUMMERELL

Focuson the serious ‘accommodation’problemsatour court, not on thewhistleblowers!

Your continued reportage on the court’sproblems are appreciated as this seems to,finally, get some ministerial mandarin’s at-tentions.

But a false attribution to me in the head-line (“Local lawyer deems SAPS and Courtillegal,”HT, 18 December), may be seriouslyembarrassing to my professional reputa-tion. I never said or wrote that the policestation or court had illegal structures.

I gave the Times’ copies of letters fromOverstrand Municipality to two govern-ment departments relating to illegal struc-tures, on the court premises.

The focus should be on the serious ‘’ac-commodation’’ problems at our court, noton the whistle blowers!

As regional representative of the Law So-ciety and as the appointed lawyer who at-tends the Case Flow Management meetings(between the SAPS, Correctional Services,Court, NPA, Judiciary and Social Services)I am acutely aware of the daily struggle by

good men and women who render their ser-vices to the public in woefully inadequatestructures.

The fact that various government depart-ments are not rising to the challenges (aftermore than a decade of pleading to them) –or are funnelling budgeted money for ourcourt to other purposes, is what we, con-cerned attorneys, are addressing.

The report should not focus on what I be-lieve, that it is “scandalously inadequate”,but the lack of response from the two depart-ments concerned, and what steps were tak-en to get their responses.

We have succeeded in getting a monthlyRegional Civil Court presence here.

We have succeeded in getting a SmallClaims Court for Hermanus. (We used to fallunder Caledon).

We will, with all citizens and media sup-port, get a new court!

NATURE MATTERS: Abalone, or per­lemoen, are molluscs, as are clams,scallops, sea slugs, octopuses andsquid. Molluscs have a soft bodysurrounded by a mantle, a head anda large muscular foot. The spiralstructure, so common in snail shells,is flattened in the abalone shell. It isshaped like an ear, with a row ofbreathing pores down one side.Shells are prized because of their in­ner, iridescent layer, called mother ofpearl. Abalone are a delicacy in thefar east and high prices are paid forthem, leading to successful abalonefarming, as well as illegal harvestingof abalone.

they had obtained one. I said I would collect itthe next morning, at which point they asked if Iwould prefer to have it delivered.“I replied that it would be great. Later there was

“Holidaymakers and their fami-lies celebrated in true festive seasonspirit, reflecting the values intrin-sic to The Color Run brand: health,happiness, unity and individuali-ty.”

In each colour zone, Color Run-ners were showered by volunteerswith clouds of brightly colouredpowder. The race ended with a col-our-throwing festival, where partic-ipantsandtheirfamilieswereenter-tained by the Heart FM 104.9 DJs.

Golf roundup

with Julian Shaw

BenevolentGolfDaytakesonanewapproachThe new and revitalised Hermanus GolfClub (HGC) Benevolent Day will be intro-duced on 6 March.

HermanusSeniorCentrehascomeonboardto be part of this extraordinary fundraiser.Until now, the centre had its own golf day,filled with fun and imaginative activities forthe full field of keen golfers.

The Hermanus Senior Centre will now joinSofca, Huis Lettie Theron and the HermanusHospital for one big fundraising golf day.

The first gathering of the merged organis-ing team was held at the end of last monthand they have mapped out an entirely differ-ent kind of feel for the golf day in March.

Formal proceedings will be replaced withan energy-induced day with various kinds of

activities.An“old fashioned”tombola table,anadven-

turous chipping competition and a mouth-gaping event on the driving range has the po-tential to cause players to book a tee-off timesooner rather than later.

As in previous years, a morning and after-noon field will be played, but this year bothfields are a four ball alliance format.

The competition fee in the morning is R250per player, and R2 000 per four ball for corpo-rate play in the afternoon.

The participants will be treated with an ar-ray of food and drink.

A colourful variety of music and vibey en-tertainment will end the day.
