Pniël Petanque Players wen vyfde titelMet ‘n gooiskoot wat toeskouers staande op hulle voete gehad het, het die Pniël Petanque Players (PPP) die Petanque (Boule) Driespelkompetisie tydens die onlangse Bastille-fees op Franschhoek gewen.

Die manne van Pniël, verteenwoordig deur pa- en seunspan Freddie, Hilton en Neville Simpson, het die spannende eindronde teen Bergrivier Forum met 13-7 gewen.

Petanque (uitgespreek Petank) is ‘n rekreasiespel wat in Frankryk ontstaan het waar spelers 700 gram ysterballe so na as moontlik aan aan ‘n klein houtbal (genoem cochonnet of piglet), tussen 6 en 10 meter vêr moet gooi. Dit is juis een van hierdie gooiskote op ‘n afstand van 9 meter deur mnr Freddie Simpson wat die vonke in die finaal behoorlik laat spat het. Mnr Simpson het sodoende een van die Bergrivier se balle uitgegooi waarop hulle geen antwoord gehad het nie.

Hierdie snelgroeiende spel wat deur ongeveer 17 miljoen Franse gespeel word vir ontspanning, was in 1993 aan die Simpsons bekend gestel deur hul Franse swaer, Alain Pechon. “Die spel het die familie geboei en in 1999 was ons die eerste wenners van die Bastille-Dag Wisseltrofee,” sê ‘n trotse Meester Freddie soos hy in die vallei bekend staan. Om te wys dat 1999 se sege nie ‘n vloekskoot was nie, het die PPP die toernooi daarna drie keer agtereenvolgens in 2004, ’05 en ’06 gewen.

Na affiliasie by die Bergrivierklub, is die PPP amptelik in 2008 gestig en die Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit het ook onlangs ‘n Petanque-

baan op die Pniël sportgronde aangelê. Mnr Simpson nooi enige belangstellendes uit om Saterdae ‘n draai te kom maak by die nuwe baan of die een in Panoramastraat, Pniël. “Petanque is ‘n familiespel wat deur oud en jonk gespeel kan word en is ‘n uitstekende manier om families te verenig” sê hy.

Die volgende kompetisie is vanaf 2 tot 4 November wanneer die Boschendal Pentaque-Fees plaasvind.

Vir verdere inligting, skakel Mnr Simpson by 021 885 1106.

Welgedaan PPP!

GOODBYE AND THANK YOU

August 2010 was my first time to come to Stellenbosch and the Dwars River Valley. The road meandered down the mountain. Oh my word, I thought as this scenery looked lovely, with lovely weather and fresh air. Little did I know that even the community of this valley was just as good as the scenery that I was witnessing. At first I had mixed feelings as I was told that this is a coloured community and being a black foreigner, made my heart skip of fear. This quickly vanished as I got used the community and realized that I was afraid for no reason. Every person I met was as friendly as the other. I give praise to you all!

I have learned a great deal from this community. People still have love and still keep family values. In some other areas in South Africa you will not approach taxi drivers because they are full of insults. But not in Kylemore and Pniël. The taxi drivers here are very helpful and easy going buddies. May the Almighty keep you safe on the road.

I have also been lucky enough to be employed by the publishers of Riviernuus. I give praise to the Lawrence and Lackay families for bringing up an editor and graphic designer who are making it possible for everyone in the community to know the unknowns of this valley.

I unfortunately have to leave this wonderful valley due to family commitments and as I write this letter, please pray for me to arrive safely in my home country, Zimbabwe.

I will pray to the Almighty that I will still find you as one family should I return one day.

- Mary Muza

Dear editor,                                               

I take this time to thank you for advertising great news and updates in community welfare. You are simply an inspiration. Who would have thought that our valley’s own people will for free deliver such a great newspaper. If I'm bored and don't know what to do, believe me that most of the times I grab an old Riviernuus just to make sure that I didn’t miss out on an article. Because of this great newspaper, I got the chance to improve my career as I’ve been accepted at the ICA for the Chef training and it will certainly help me in future.

Thanks! Local is Lekka!

'n Vriendelike Versoek... ons op

Goue Vroue

WENBRIEF: ‘N GLIMLAG, BAIE HERINNERINGE... MET ‘N TIKKIE HEIMWEË.

Ek lees in die nuutste uitgawe van Riviernuus dat Kylemore bejeën word met ‘n nuwe status, die nuwe ingang! Toe raak ek sommer baie bewoë, baie trots, opgewonde en bly!

As ek aan Kylemore dink, is dit nooit sonder ‘n glimlag en heimweë nie, hier lê baie voertspore van my, ek het in Kylemore opgegroei, liefde en leed, vreugde en teleurstelling, ook ervaar ja, maar stil en dierbaar het Kylemore in my hart kom nes maak … vir Altyd!

Daarom is dit niks minder as reg om aan sy Onvergeetlike berge en Prag, en allerskoonste natuur reg te laat geskied.En die Heimweë? Ja, nêrens in die wye wêreld, was ek al so gelukkig soos in my eie Kylemore nie!!

(Opgedra aan my Antie Clara van die Jeugkamp) Baie dankie vir al haar liefde en toewyding.

Liefde

- Claudine Japhta (alias Ghoerie)

olymPic moments

Met Nasionale Vrouedag op 9 Augustus, het Riviernuus by 'n baie spesiale vrou gaan inloer wat haar opoffer vir die gemeenskap. Haar beperkte skoolopleiding en persoonlike teleurstellings in haar lewe het nog nooit in haar pad gestaan om net die beste vir haar mense te doen nie. Lees haar storie op bl. 5

Ek was gelukkig om die sokkerwedstryd tussen Ajax Cape Town en Manchester United op Kaapstad Stadion te gaan bywoon. Niemand het Ajax enige kans gegee teen die magtige United nie, maar die span van die Kaap het almal verras deur gelykop te eindig. Die groot skare (iets waaraan Ajax nie gewoond is nie) het definitief die span gehelp om beter te presteer. Dieselfde kan gesê word van ons Olimpiese swemkampioene Cameron van der Burgh en Chad Le Clos. Hulle het feitlik die hele land agter hulle gehad. Ongelukkig kan ons nie dieselfde sê van ons ondersteuning aan ons plaaslike rugbyklubs nie. Hulle het die gemeenskap se ondersteuning nou broodnodig, anders staar hulle relegasie in die gesig. Kom ons ondersteun ons rugbyklubs die laaste paar wedstryde.Mooi bly,

180 JAAR OUD EN NOG PURE GOUD

Getroude paartjie is saam:

ONS MENSEPrestasie

3Riviernuus August 2012

‘n Gelukkige getroude paartjie in Lanquedoc spog met ‘n gesamentlike ouderdom van 180 jaar!

Ouma Mina Arnoldus het op 21 Julie haar 91’ste verjaarsdag gevier en haar man, Oupa Vaaltyn, word 90 op 31 Augustus. Die paartjie is ook reeds 68 jaar getroud.

“Ek weet nie juis hoekom my ouers my Vaaltyn gedoop het nie en ek het dit sterk oorweeg om die naam uit te koop,” sê die oom. “Ek het egter gehoor van Valentynsdag en hoe dit met liefde gepaard gaan. Siende dat my naam amper dieselfde is, het ek besluit om dit te hou,” sê hy trots.

Oorspronklik van Kruisrivier, distrik Calitzdorp, het die twee ongeveer 50 jaar gelede die Karoo verruil vir die Boland. “My niggies het ons kom vertel dat daar baie werk was by Rhodes Fruit Farms (RFF) se fabriek,” sê Ouma Mina. “Selfs ons kinders kon werk kry het hulle gesê.

“Dit was egter nie die geval nie en ons het maar moeilike tye beleef in ons eerste paar jaar hier. Ek het by die plaas Excelsior in die wingerd gewerk en Vaaltyn by RFF. Hy het 19 Sjielings (R1.90) per week verdien en ek 10 (R1.00). Dan moes hy 5 Shjielings betaal vir die vis en sakkie bruinmeel wat hy by die plaas gekoop het. Ek moes ook 5 van my Sjielings vir die winkel in Lanquedoc gee vir kos wat ons gekoop het.

“Vir vleis en ander kos het ek elke week Paarl toe gegaan en daar het ek gewoonlik gewag totdat die winkels sluit, want dan het hulle die kos vir goedkoper verkoop.

So ek het maar geduldig gesit en wag tot toemaaktyd vir my vleis en aartappels. Daarna het ek die laaste bus Lanquedoc toe gevat - dit was drie-uur die middag.

“Ons het vir ‘n tyd lank ook ons eie beeste, bokke en varke aangehou. Ongelukkig het die diere later vrylik in die boorde en wingerde rondgeloop en hulself gehelp. Die boere het nie baie hiervan gehou nie en almal was toe beveel om hulle diere te slag.”

Die moeilike tye het hierdie paartjie nie onder gekry nie en hulle het 13 kinders grootgemaak waarvan drie dogters nog lewe. Dit is juis by een dogter, Sabiena in Hoofstraat 33, waar die goue paartjie woon. Hulle het ook 10 kleinkinders, 20 agter-kleinkinders en 3 agter-agter-kleinkinders. “Kinders was nooit vir ons ‘n probleem nie en ons glo dat ‘n groot gesin ‘n gelukkige een is,” sê Ouma Mina. “Ek het darem seker gemaak my kinders kry ietsie lekker soos viskaaiings, rooi polony of namelekkers.”

Dit was baie lekker om daardie tyd in Lanquedoc te woon, sê hulle. “Almal het soos een groot familie saamgeleef en het niks van vandag se probleme gehad nie. Van baklei en dwelms was daar geen sprake nie en wanneer iemand jou hinder, kon jy die persoon gaan verkla by die kantoor in Groot Drakenstein. Hy was dan met 50 sent beboet," sê Oupa.

Ouma Mina noem dat vandag se sosiale probleme die straatligte se skuld is. “Dit

was so donker daai tyd dat jy nie mense snags kon sien loop nie. Met die straatligte vandag kan kwaaddoeners jou maklik sien en ‘n kans vat,” sê sy. “Mense het ook nie meer respek vir bejaardes nie en jongmense besef nie aldag wie vir hulle grootgemaak het nie.”

Oupa Vaaltyn glo dat nog 'n rede vir vandag se probleme is dat "die eie ek" oorgeneem het...

Beide Oupa Vaaltyn en Ouma Mina geniet nog uitstekende gesondheid en stap gereeld. “In die winter moet julle my maar vergewe, want dan is dit te koud en is ek

maar binnenshuis,” skerts Oupa. “Gelukkig is dit nie soos daai tyd toe ons buite-toilette gehad nie.”

“Bewaar jou siel as jy nie jou toilet skoongemaak het nie, want dan was jy ook met 50 sent beboet,” lag die tweetjies.Volgens Ouma Mina het hulle hul rype ouderdom aan die Here te danke. “As jy in die Here glo, sal jy baie oud word. Sy genade dra ons elke dag deur.”

“Dit was baie hartseer om die mense van Calitzdorp te verlaat, maar ons is baie tevrede om ons koppe eendag hier in Lanquedoc neer te lê,” sê Ouma Mina Arnoldus langs haar Valentyn van 68 jaar.

"Vandag se sosiale probleme is alles die straatligte se skuld."

Capturing Chad's Moment of Golden GloryWhen Chad Le Clos (left) won a gold medal for South Africa in the 200m Butterfly swimming event at the London Olympics, photographs capturing this unbelievable moment were splashed around the world in newspapers and over the internet.

While this was a remarkable achievement by 20 year old Chad, Riviernuus discovered that the man responsible for some of those amazing photographs hails from Gordon's Bay. He is Roger Sedres (photo right), a professional photographer who is currently in London covering the Olympics. Roger shared his story with us:"Swimming at the Olympic Games is a 'high demand ticket' event. Each Olympic Committee participating in the swimming receives 2 tickets for their photographers, each evening. Unfortunately I was not allocated a

ticket and I was down the whole day as I so dearly wanted to get pictures of Chad le Clos. At about 4pm on the day of the event, I found out that there was a small chance of getting a ticket via the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ticket office. The IOC receives all the media tickets back from the Associations that don't collect their allocated tickets. So, I stood in a queue from 16h00 until 17h30 when the IOC handed out the few available tickets and I was number 4. It was worth having the patience and the rest is swimming history."

Well done Roger, you have captured these historic moments brilliantly!

Pniël Paint & PatchRiviernuusCOMMUNITY

News4

Pniël Paint & Patch Women is 'n groep vroue wat elke Maandag vanaf April 2012 byeenkom om handwerk soos lapverf, laslap, borduur en kwiltwerk asook  decoupage  aan te leer.

Op 9 Julie het lede van die Boland Kwilters Gilde by Pniël Paint & Patch 'n werkswinkel gehou.   Die Kwilters Gilde  het die behoefte van die groep raakgesien en hul kennis  met hulle kom deel en donasies in die vorm van borduurgare, kwiltlap, snymesse, snymatte en handwerktydskrifte geskenk wat alles van groot hulp is.

Die Gilde borg die groep vir 'n jaar om hul maandelikse vergaderings by te woon om sodoende blootgestel te word aan hul werksaamhede en meer te leer oor laslappies en kwiltwerk.

Op 16 Julie het Carina Pringle ook 'n Decoupage demonstrasie gehou en Decoupage toebehore geskenk.

Die groep vergader elke Maandag-oggend tussen 09:00 en 12:00. Vir meer informasie of om aan te sluit by die groep, kontak my by 076 065 2092.

‘n Vrou DuisendHeel toevallig het Riviernuus die volgende brief van een van ons lesers oor Siena ontvang:

Ek ken ‘n wonderlike vrou, gemeen-skapsleier, ‘n vrou wat baanbrekerswerk vir jare al verrig. ‘n Vrou wat kos in mense se mae sit, ‘n vrou wat mense se huise weer heel maak deur projekte wat sy op die been bring. Alles doen sy uit haar hart vir haar medemens.

Sy het nou ook ‘n projek begin waar sy en ‘n groep mense van Kylemore help om minderbevoorregte mense te help met warm klere, ou komberse, kospakkies so wel as om sommige huise te herstel.

Dit is ons eie vonkelvrou, Siena Charles.Ek het self by die projek aangesluit om te kan help waar ek kan. Dit was hartverskeurend om te ontdek dat daar so baie mense in ons gemeenskap net onder lakens slaap, hul dakke lek en het geen kos.

Ek wil graag ‘n beroep op die gemeenskap of enigeen wat wil help, om by te dra tot verbetering in iemand se lewe wat dit baie nodig het. So kom GEMEENSKAP laat ons nou EENHEID bereik.

Ek wil net weereens baie dankie sê aan Siena Charles en die groep dames wat nooit moeg raak om ander te help nie.

Riviernuus August 2012 GEMEENSKAPUitreik

5

Prinses Charles benodig hulpOm vir Siena Charles in Kylemore op te spoor, is nie baie moeilik nie. Indien sy nie by haar huis in Skoolstraat is nie, sal jy haar definitief by haar tweede huis kry: die Gemeenskapsaal.

Dit is juis hier, na die Donderdagmiddag se sopkombuis, waar Riviernuus haar ontmoet vir die onderhoud.

Sewe jaar gelede, na een van vele kinders aan haar deur geklop het vir kos, het sy stilgestaan en diep nagedink oor die hele situasie. Sy het self nie kos in haar huis gehad nie, maar het haarself in die skoene van die minderbevoorregte kinders gesit. Hoe moes die honger kinders dit uithou? Hulle het nie gevra om in hierdie dilemma te wees nie.

“Ek het net daar besluit om iets aan die situasie te doen. Met een pakkie ertjies en nog ‘n paar goedjies van my buurvrou, Elizabeth Erasmus, het ek ‘n pot sop gemaak. Ek het vir twee kinders gesê om sop te kom haal en voor ek my kon kry het tien in ‘n ry voor my huis gestaan,” sê Siena.

Sy noem dat dit aan die begin baie moeilik was om borge te kry om die las bietjie ligter te maak. Gelukkig het Stellenbosch Voedingsaksie aan boord gekom. Met tyd het die hoër- en laerskool asook van Kylemore se gemeenskapslede hulp aangebied. Shoprite voorsien ook een keer per maand 200 broode.

Vandag bedien die sopkombuis tot 300 mense op ‘n dag. Dis ook nie net kinders wat kom aanklop nie, maar soms pa en ma ook. Siena en haar span doen hierdie liefdadigheid drie dae per week en wil dit graag elke dag in die week doen. Vir fondsinsamling het Siena onlangs ‘n baie suksesvolle modeparade in die Gemeenskapsaal gehou waarby sy sekere minderbevoorregtes betrek het om hul passies op die loopplank te vertoon. Na die funksie het ‘n paar vroue besluit om Siena

by te staan en uit te reik na die gemeenskap waarin hulle opgegroei het. Die Kylemore Community Supporters Group is toe op die been gebring.

Die groep bestaan uit 20 vroue met Jenna Langeveldt as voorsitter, Frandalene Adams (onder voorsitter), Clarissa September (sekretaris), Bianca Nortje (kassier) en Siena as koördineerder. Jenna en Clarissa sluit by ons aan en op hierdie oomblik word die onderhoud onderbreuk want Siena moet gou blomme in haar tuin gaan pluk sodat mense dit kan gebruik as kranse vir Sondag se begrafnis.

Jenna noem dat die doel van die ondersteuningsgroep is om hulp te verleen aan siekes, by te staan met begrafnisse, versorging van kinders veral die wie se ouers aan drank verslaaf is, huishoudelike take soos skoonmaak, wasgoed was, gordyne, ens. Die groep het juis onlangs ‘n paar huise in Kylemore gaan opknap

waarvan die eienaars drankverslaafdes is. ‘n Maklike taak is die nie en die groep doen ‘n beroep op enigiemand om hulp te verleen in die vorm van klere, beddegoed, gordyne, ou meubels of kos om die las van sekere inwoners te verlig. Net soos Siena, doen die groep hierdie werk sonder betaling. Hulle vergader elke Dinsdag-aand 18:00 en belangstellendes word genooi om Jenna te skakel by 073 446 0858 of Siena by 078 912 9604.

Vir Vrouedag op 9 Augustus beplan die groep ‘n tee-middag. Toegang kos R15 en die fondse gaan gebruik word om die groep verder te versterk in hul liefdestaak.

Hierdie groep vroue het baie planne vir Kylemore se minderbevoorregte gemeenskap soos om vir elke persoon wie ‘n bord kos of sop kom afhaal, ‘n swart sak te gee om die strate in hul omgewing skoon te maak. Hulle het egter die ondersteuning van die Dwarsriviervallei baie nodig.

Vir baie mense in Kylemore is Siena se sop hul enigste maaltyd vir die dag en is dit soos ‘n koningsmaal, bedien deur ‘n ware prinses.

"Ek het vir twee kinders gesê om sop te kom haal en voor ek my

kon kry het tien in ‘n ry voor my huis gestaan"

Die vroue wat 'n verskil maak: Siena Charles, Jenna Langeveldt en Clarissa September

Hi ladies, is that place you reading about in the Riviernuus named after me: "The Barak's"? Now I can see the people of Kylemore loves me.

7Mayor meets 'Stars of Tomorrow'

In a week where everybody in South Africa celebrated the achievements of its greatest leader, Nelson Mandela, the Outreach Programme had the honour to be visited by the Executive Mayor of Stellenbosch, Mr Conrad Sidego.

Mayor Sidego was visibly overwhelmed by the programme, which the team from Stellenbosch University’s Sport Performance Institute (SUSPI) had prepared, to showcase their Youth Sport Initiative in action. In addition, it was clear that he enjoyed the interaction with the 51 learners from PC Petersen Primary School, who enthusiastically welcomed him on the community sports ground in Kylemore.

Kylemore is one of currently nine greater Stellenbosch communities participating in the Outreach Programme. Through the assistance of local teenagers, from the Kylemore High School, as well as young, local and very passionate adults, SUSPI and

Stellenbosch University reach the primary school children of PC Petersen on a weekly basis. The programme uses sport as a tool to educate the participating scholars about important life skills, such as friendship and respect, as well as age appropriate health education. The Outreach Programme is a part of SUSPI’s overall Youth Sport Initiative and as such is officially registered as a HOPE Project of the Stellenbosch University.

On the day, Dr. Jerome Slamat, Senior Director of Stellenbosch University’s Department of Community Interaction, welcomed the Mayor formally. Dr. Slamat extended an invite to Mayor Sidego that the Municipality and Stellenbosch University join hands to reach more youth through initiatives like the Outreach Programme. Subsequent to Dr. Slamat the Mayor inspired the young 'stars’ in Kylemore through his passionate speech. The youngsters were all ears as the honorable Mayor Sidego explained to them, that he himself arose from a small, rural area. “Through hard work, discipline and the willingness to go the extra-mile one can overcome local challenges and achieve one’s goals,” the Mayor explained.

A final handing over of a signed football from the children to the Executive Mayor as well as a framed picture, showing the Kylemore group in action, to Municipal Councillor for Sport and Youth, Quintin Smit, closed the official part of the programme.

Through a little pressure from the children, the Mayor was asked to participate in a penalty shoot out against 8 year old Cameron De Wee, Dr. Slamat and Quintin Smit with the latter two acting as goalkeepers. Although the Mayor removed

his jacket and tie, it surprisingly ended 2:1 in Cameron’s favor.

The whole team at SUSPI feels very honored that the Mayor made some of his valuable time available to visit one of the Youth Sport Initiative’s projects. It was a proud milestone for the Outreach Programme and opened the door for Stellenbosch Municipality and SUSPI to together build more hope amongst young children in and around Stellenbosch.

We want to make every day a Mandela Day.

So you want to buy a house but have no idea what to do, where to start or what the requirements might be? These are just some of the daunting questions many first time home buyers face.

Here are a couple of things that you should note:

1. Maintain a good credit rating: The first thing that any bank will do when assessing your home loan application is to check your credit rating. Ensure that you always pay your debt on time to avoid any nasty surprises.

2. Save up for a deposit: Whether you are currently renting a home or still living at your parents, the surplus money in your budget should not be spend on luxuries or unnecessary expenses or that new car. Instead start saving all those extra pennies, it will teach you discipline and get you into the habit of saving. Banks are also far more likely to grant a home loan if you have a deposit which is normally between 10-20% of the purchase price.

3. Work out what you can afford: Analyse your income and expenses very carefully to work out what you can afford. Bear in mind that home ownership comes with additional expenses and responsibilities beyond merely paying a bond, i.e. water, electricity, property taxes, etc. Also remember that interest rates fluctuate and this should also be taken into consideration.

4. Where to buy (Area): They say it's better to buy the worst house in a great area than the best house in a bad area. Consider the following; proximity to your workplace and good schools, friends and family, even if you don't have children

FIRST TIME HOME OWNERSyet, and the crime rate (the local police station could assist with the crime statistics for the neighbourhood). It also helps to spend time driving around the area in the daytime and at night, talk to neighbours, to get a “feel” for the area.

Good News! With the latest cut in interest rate by The Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) it has reduced the repurchase rate by 50 basis points to 5.0 percent and prime rates will be 8.5 percent. This creates a favourable environment for first time buyers as it makes owning a home more affordable. Bear in mind that in December 2008 we had a prime interest rate of 15.5%. (See below)

environmental issues

Bottled water – scourge or saviour?The World Water Crisis is a very real phenomenon, and despite the good rains experienced over the past few months locally, we cannot rest on our laurels and assume that it is not necessary to conserve water.

Currently over 1 billion people lack access to clean, safe, affordable drinking water. It is predicted that by 2025, two-thirds of the world population will lack access to water.

It is interesting to note the amount of bottled water consumed by South Africans. In 2005 it was estimated that 196 million litres of bottled water were consumed, and in 2010 this figure rocketed to about 568 million litres*.

The industry itself is booming, and the 2011 global market was estimated at R628.7 billion, which has nearly doubled since 2006*.

One needs to reflect why people are moving towards bottled water than tap water. There is the perception that bottled water is safer to drink than tap water, although studies revealed that bottled water is no safer than tap water, and public tap water is more regulated than bottled water. Another reason is the perception that bottled water

tastes better than tap water, although in tap water challenges in Seattle, USA, people could not tell the difference#.

Opponents to bottled water would argue that it is foolish to spend between R6-8 per 500ml bottled water compared to 0.5c for the equivalent quantity of tap water. It is further reported that for the filtration of bottled water, approximately 7l is wasted for every 3l bottled. The light, soft, easily consumed and non-filling quality of bottled water is as a result of reverse osmosis, which is more expensive and inefficient than filtration#.

Some of the social impacts could potentially be the decreased political support to fund our public water systems if there is a belief that the only clean, safe drinking water is from a bottle. This is not helped if one considers the financial backlog between infrastructure needs and the budgeted amounts which is huge. Another social challenge is the fact that up to 40% of bottled water comes from already treated municipal water systems, which is paid for at the taxpayers expense. This is then sold back to the public for much more#.

However, the greatest criticism is levelled at the environmental impacts resulting from bottling water.

These include:• The US market required 17 millions

barrels of oil and generated 2.5milliontonsofCO2inmanufacturingtheplasticwaterbottles

• Theentireenergycostsofthelifecycleofbottledwaterisequivalenttofillingeachbottlewithaquarterofoil

• Some bottlers extract large volumesfrom springs and aquifers, which notonlydriesup thewells,butalsodepletewetlandsanddrainrivers

• Each year 2 billion kilograms of PETplastic bottles end up in landfills orroadsidelitter

• Recycling rates of plastic water bottlesare less than 20% in the USA, and lessthan10%globally#.

It is fortunately not doom and gloom, as PETCO has been fairly successful in increasing its recycling rates by 30% year

on year, and in 2010 had a PET recycling rate of 38% of post-consumer beverage PET. Their target for 2015 is set at 49%.

However, as reported in earlier articles, it is important for consumers to adopt the Avoid, Reduce, Re-use, Recycle lifestyle, in this order. Re-using the PET bottles results in more and more leaching of the phthalate into the water, particularly as the bottle gets older, thereby affecting the quality of the water.

There is a drive by many leading organisations to ban bottled water at their meetings and conferences, and the City of Cape Town and Western Cape Government have already taken steps in that direction.

* Figures from Mail & Guardian (10 Sep 2010)# Hays, M – The Social and Environmental Impacts of Bottled Water

In the last few weeks a number of residents in Kylemore have expressed their concern over the quality of the village’s drinking water.

Readers have brought it to Riviernuus' attention that the water at times contained excessive amounts of chlorine. Riviernuus investigated the matter and spoke to officials at the Water Purification section of the Stellenbosch Municipality.

According to them, Kylemore receives its water from the Wemmershoek Water System which is run by the City of Cape Town (CoCT). Addition to the normal purification process of the CoCT, the municipality adds HTH chlorine powder to the water. Sometimes the chlorine settles at the bottom of the reservoirs and forms lumps. These lumps are then discharged into the water system which leads to the unpleasant smell and taste. Currently chlorine is also added manually and the official acknowledged that this could also be a cause of the water problem. The official said that the excess chlorine in water is not harmful, but it could be the cause of the water being unsavoury. “It is safer to rather add too much than too little,” he said.

THE WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK “Stellenbosch Municipality wants to allay the fears that residents may have by stating that the water is safe to drink. The municipality is working towards a long term plan where the dosing of chlorine will be automated. Chlorine will then be added depending on the quality of the raw water received from the different water sources.

In the mean time the municipality will dose chlorine by using chlorine pills, instead of the HTH powder. The advantage of the pills system is that they dissolve gradually into the water system which would hopefully eliminate the problem.” Should you experience the same problem in your area, please contact the municipality on 021 808 8111.

SA se oudste Mediese Fonds is in Pniël

Praat mens van die Pniëlse Onderlinge Samewerkingvereniging is daar nie baie wat sal besef dit is die Logie, of soms genoem Losie, waarvan gepraat word nie.

Die Japanese het ‘n term vir ‘n lank-lewende en gevestigde onderneming: shinise. Aspekte wat hierdie tipe ondernemings kenmerk is die voortsetting van tradisie, innovasie, langtermyndiens, ‘n bydrae tot die samelewing en deursettingvermoë.

Die Pniëlse Onderlinge Samewerkings-vereninging is só ‘n organisasie. Hierdie organisasie bestaan al sedert 9 Augustus 1892. Die stigterslede was Boeta Lot Cyster (voorsitter), Sarah Lackay (Sekretaris), Simon Fredericks en Absolom Cyster. Soos in die wetboek van die Logie omskryf, is die doel van die organisasie geldelike ondersteuning aan lede in gevalle van siekte en dood, om mekaar onderling en broederlik te sterk en deur middel van funksies die kas finansieel te sterk om lede te kan help. Mens kan sê, waarskynlik die oudste mediese fonds in Suid Afrika.

In 1932 het die Broederlike Independente Vereniging geamalgameer met die Logie en het dit in die volksmond die “Mans Logie” geword, alhoewel vroue nog steeds lede van die organisasie was. Die “Vroue Logie” wat terselfdertyd ontstaan het, het as die St. Margaret’s Lodge bekend gestaan.

Mnr David Ruthford dien as voorsitter sedert 1986. Hy was voorheen een van die Tylers van die organisasie. Die Tylers se pligte sluit onder andere in ‘n weeklikse besoek aan siek lede, bodedienste en die handhaaf van orde by vergaderings. So het elke rol op die komitee spesifiek beskrewe

pligte volgens die wetboek. Mnr Ruthford sê dat hy eers die voorsitterskap geweier het, want die verantwoordelikheid is groot en die lede kan maar heethoofdig raak al sê die afdeling oor die pligte van lede in die wetboek dat alle lede vriendelikheid en respek teenoor mekaar moet toon by vergaderings.

Na daar egter ‘n week later eenparig vir hom gestem is, kon hy nie die voorsitterskap langer weier nie. In dieselfde jare het ook die huidige sekretaris, Mnr Andrew Williams, en tesourier, Mnr Arthur (Archie) Williams, diens aanvaar. Mnr Andrew Williams het

- J a n e t L O U W

in 1977 ‘n lid van die Logie geword toe daar 420 lede was. Tans bestaan die Logie uit 58 lede.

As ‘n vereniging was hulle nog altyd tegemoetkomend teenoor die ontwikkeling van infrastruktuur tot die voordeel van die wyer gemeenskap. Soos alle organisasies het die Logie al hoogte- en laagtepunte beleef maar soos Mnr Ruthford sê, het die Hoër Hand hulle gedra. Dit is merkwaardig dat ‘n organisasie wat al so lank bestaan nog steeds ‘n bydrae kan lewer tot die gemeenskap.

Die Logie is ‘n organisasie met interessante en dienende tradisies soos ‘n spesifieke drag, die bywoning van lede se begrafnisse en jaarlikse gedenkdienste vir afgstorwe lede wat deur die leraar van die Pniël gemeente, Eerwaarde Leon Klate, gelei word.

Die tradisies kan soms vir die jonger geslag vreemd en outyds voorkom, maar soos die Japannese erken, dra sulke organisasies die gemeenskap waarin dit funksioneer en vorm op dié manier ‘n basis vir vooruitgang.

In die volgende uitgawe vertel ons meer oor die geskiedenis van die Logie en sy mense.

Nuwe ontwikkeling in PniëlDie Logie op Pniël het grond beskikbaar gestel vir die ontwikkeling van bekostigbare eiendomme.

Hierdie ontwikkeling word eerste aan die Dwarsiviervallei gemeenskap beskikbaar gestel voordat dit buite die grense geadverteer word (sien advertensie onder). Belangstellendes word vriendelik versoek om hul identiteitsdokument (ID) na die beplande bekendstelling te bring.

Dear residents of the Dwars River Valley, we've been here for a month now, and I feel very welcome in the community. Thank you!

I am now beginning to visit people for interviews, so you will see me walking in the streets. I will also hold a few discussions with people living in the valley.

I would love to hear from each and every one of you, but I will only be able to listen to a small group because of the time constraints on my work. If I haven't interviewed you, it isn't because I don't want to!

If you would like to speak to me, please come and visit me in my office near Bethlehem farm in Kylemore.

I would love to meet you!

From Locker Room to BoardroomOn 19 July Molenvliet Wine and Guest Estate hosted an event that was attended by an elite group of people.

The MC was Dan Retief, well known sports journalist and analyst; entertainment was provided by singer Randall Wicombe; key note speaker was the deputy minister of Sport, Gert Oosthuizen; the event was the launch of Ross van Reenen’s book: From Locker Room to Boardroom.

According to Ross (himself a former Free State Rugby player), more than 84% of professional rugby players in South Africa are going to find it difficult to survive financially once they stop playing. How will they find success in their new careers once their rugby jerseys have been washed for the last time?

From Locker Room to Boardroom explores how former South African rugby players culled certain traits from their playing

days and applied them to their enterprises in order to make a successful transition from the rugby field (locker room) to the business world (the boardroom).

Naas Botha, Breyton Paulse, Joel Stransky, Francois Pienaar, Eddie Andrews, Kobus Wiese, to name but a few, share the many challenges they faced and the different strategies they employed on the road to establishing the single factor that, more than other, lies at the root of their business success.

Filled with entertaining anecdotes, sound practical advice and pioneering business models, From Locker Room to Boardroom provides an unique and fascinating approach to achieving success in the commercial world.

Also present at the event was former Springboks Ockie Oosthuizen, owner of Molenvliet, Divan Serfontein, Eddie Andrews and Theuns Stoffberg.

cross country - m i k e F R A S E R

550 athletes braved the cold rainy weather on Saturday 21 July 2012 to compete in Trial 5 of the Boland Athletics Cross Country competition.

The event was hosted by Dwars River Valley Athletics Club at the Pniël Sports Field.

The athletes were well supported by our dedicated technical officials and the many coaches and parents that accompanied them on the day.

Many parents said that they weren't so sure that much would happen on the day because of the weather, but they were all pleasantly surprised by the turn out at this event.

This is a very firm vote of confidence in the strong partnership and the good working relationship between Boland Athletics and Boland Schools to deliver meaningful development opportunities for our junior athletes.

A huge thanks to the Boland Athletics Cross Country Commission members and the Boland Schools officials for your sacrifice.

Thanks for the logistical, financial and general support from the Boland Athletics office in terms of the smooth flow of organising these events.

Kyle kraai koning in Knysna

Jong Kyle De Wet (14) van Kylemore het onlangs die Rotary Knysna Argus Fietstoer vir sy ouderdomsgroep gewen.

Hierdie is een van vele prestasies wat Kyle sovêr in sy kort fietsryloopbaan vermag het.

Kyle, seun van Patrick De Wet (jnr) en Estee Riddles, het reeds aan die Cape Argus Resies deelgeneem en het groot drome.

Kampioen, Kyle De Wet

Kylemore Juniors kry nuwe klere

Die junior rugbyspanne van Kylemore het onlangs nuwe rugbytruie ontvang. Die truie vorm deel van die klub se befondsing vanaf die Nasionale Lottery.Hier spog die spelers met hul nuwe uitrustings.

Pniël/Kylemore XV vs IrelandThe rugby teams of Pniël and Kylemore will form a Combined XV to play a match against Banbridge Rugby Club from Northern Ireland.

This historic match is scheduled to take place on Tuesday evening, 21 August, at Kylemore Sports Field and forms part of the Irish’s three match tour of the Western Cape. Their other two games will be against False Bay and Kraaifontein.

Banbrdige takes part in the Ulster Senior League and Division 2B of the All Ireland League.

According to Mr. Ivan Jacobs, who suggested the match to the two local clubs, Banbridge is a very strong club and a combined team

of Pniël and Kylemore should give good account of themselves. “This is also a perfect opportunity to strengthen the bonds between the two towns and who knows, maybe we can send a combined team overseas as well,” says Jacobs.

The final arrangements will be done by both clubs and their supporters groups will also be responsible for the after-match function. All residents are invited to attend this historic match as it promises to be an exciting game of rugby. Please support this combined team!

• Banbridge is planning to practice on Kylemore on Sunday morning, 18 August, to get acquainted with the environment and playing field. This is the only available day of their very tight tour programme.
