Release 1 March, 2012 subject to submission of petition by Ward 92 Councillor Graham Gersbach.I am submitting ,on behalf of the residents of Bardene, Bartlett and neighbouring suburbs in Boksburg North in wards 92, 22, 23 and 33. the following petition signed by 77 residents and business owners in the area.The petition reads as follows:-“We, the undersigned residents of Bardene, Bartlett and Neighbouring Suburbs in Boksburg North noting that:-1. Council approves the holding of outdoor parties at the Wild Waters Complex without consulting residents and allows sound levels well in excess of what could be

considered reasonable in a residential area.2. The parties referred to in point 1; carry on at times beyond originally allowed time until after midnight.3. The venue only has one access route and insufficient parking to handle the crowd attending these parties AND4. When such parties were originally requested to be held at Wild Waters the organisers promised to limit them to 1 such party a year and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality set the time to between 10h00 and 20h00 and all the requirements laid down by the Department of Community Safety had to be complied with.We therefore petition Ekurhuleni Metropolitan

Municipality:1. NOT to give permission for any further outdoor parties at Wild Waters Complex.2. To NO longer allow any relaxation of all bylaws relating to noise levels and regulations in a residential area.3. To assist the organisers in finding a suitable venue where all regulations will be adhered to.”Applications for such parties are now required to be made in terms of “The Safety at Sport and Recreation Events Act no. 2 of 2010”. These applications were to be made through the office of the National Commissioner of Police and there are 2 key requirements:-1. Submission by Organisers of their annual schedule of events.2. Applications for specific events 60 days before the event.

At a public participation meeting held towards the end of 2011 it was agreed that applications for future events in 2012 would be made and handled in terms of a proposed draft policy which has not as yet been presented to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council for approval. There therefore is no mechanism for approval of such events in the Metro and therefore all such events should be suspended until such time as the policy is in place.It was proposed in the draft policy that a Metro committee be set up to evaluate the application and that only this committee may approve that the event might be hosted within the borders of the City of Ekurhuleni.The proposed members of the committee would include at one representative from the following departments:-

Outdoor Parties at Wild Waters

On Saturday 10 March 2012 two gardeners were working in the garden of a home in Breguet Avenue, Impala Park.A neighbour spotted the two suspects push the resident’s

bicycle out of the garage.The neighbour, quite rightly, thought there was something suspicious going on and phoned the Control Room, who immediately despatched the patrol vehicle.The two suspects were apprehended by our patrolmen and arrested by the SAPS.It is believed that the 2 suspects are from Zimbabwe.We appeal to all residents not to employ casual labour off the street and bring them into our suburbs, especially foreign nationals who do not have a work permit or the necessary papers.You may think it is cheap labour, but at the end of the day it could turn out to be extremely costly, not only to you but to other residents in your neighbourhood.

It is critical that an updated policy be approved by the Ekurhuleni Metro Council and that there be proper public participation. All approvals without proper public participation should be withdrawn and events should not be allowed until there is proper public participation.Media EnquiriesWard 92 Councillor, Graham Gersbach, 083 304 1317 Petitioners Representative, Newton Baumgart 083 286 5036DA Ekurhuleni, Media Liaison, Angela Barnes 083 701 9972

Outdoor Parties at Wild WatersContinued from front page

It is i f extreme concern to us that crime in our area

has escalated to an all-time high, with 45 incidents reported to our Control Room in February.

The number of housebreakings in particular has gone through the roof, with 20 reported during February and already we have had 10 reported this month.There was also a hijacking in February, and one already this month.Theft of and out of motor vehicle is also of concern, with 4 and 8 incidents respectively reported during February.If you consider that this is only the incidents reported to our Control Room, you can double this figure, if not treble it.When we look at the overall crime stats, we can see that the number of incidents in the Rynfield area has gone down. Where has it gone? Northmead and Airfield.What does not help the situation is the fact that at the moment we only have one Sector Police vehicle operating in our area so there is less police visibility.We ask our residents to be extra vigilant. We need everyone to report suspicious vehicles

and persons to our Control Room.If you do see a suspicious person or vehicle, try and give the Control Room a proper description, e.g. person wearing specific colour clothing; colour and make of vehicle – registration number would be even better.If you have an alarm system in your home, please ensure you arm it every time you leave your premises, even if it is only for a short time – it doesn’t take criminals long to break in and grab a TV or laptop.We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Please do not leave valuable items in your vehicle when it is unattended or overnight. It is frightening the number of people who quite openly leave laptops, handbags, wallets and cellphones in plain sight their vehicle, just asking to be taken. We just don’t understand why people do not take better care of their valuable possessions.The same applies to personal items left on a table next to a window, allowing thieves to simply take these goods without even having to make an effort to break in.Come on residents, help us to fight crime by being a bit more careful at home. If everyone just makes an effort to be more security conscious, this would go a long way towards bringing down the crime in our suburbs.

Crime hits epic proportions

If you are being bullied you may feel so scared and vulnerable that you believe you will always be a failure. If you are

being bullied you may be surprised to know that many people who are very successful adults have been bullied when they were young. Well known people such as David Beckham (Footballer) Victoria Beckham (Singer) Harrison Ford (Actor) and Mel Gibson (Actor) acknowledge being bullied at school (Kidscape 2005).If you ever bully people, realise that it will cost you. No one really likes bullies. You may be able to scare people into being nice, but deep down you know it is a false relationship which leaves you lonely and unpopular. If you break your bullying habit, it is much easier to find good friends.WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM BULLIED AT SCHOOL?Some schools really make an effort to stop bullying. The teachers in some schools are willing to take the bully to task and impose consequences. In these schools, they encourage the person who is bullied or those who see bullying going on to speak about it. Some schools have “bully boxes” where students put a written complaint about bullying in the box. The school may have a hearing about these problems. Sometimes the school does not have a specific policy. In that case, don’t become a resigned victim.Kidscape (2005) and Hickson (2011) suggest these strategies:• Tell a friend. Ask him or her to support you. It is harder for a bully to pick on you if you are not alone.• Ignore the bully or tell them to stop and walk away. It is hard to bully someone who won’t listen. Don’t confuse walking away with running away. If you get picked on, don’t engage with the bully. Don’t offer eye contact. Don’t reply. Keep your body

language open. Don’t look at the ground. Know where you can go – to the library, a friend, a teacher, near the tuck shop line etc., slowly turn in that direction and walk tall. Don’t look back. Pretend you can’t hear the bully.• No matter how upset you are, try not to show that you are tearful, scared or angry. Bullies love to get a reaction. If you seem not to care and hide your reaction they may get bored and leave you.• Think up clever or funny replies in advance. Practice with someone you trust like a friend or family member. Practice in front of a mirror. Be alert to the bully’s reaction. Practicing in advance with someone else helps you to plan to deal with the bully’s response. • Try not to be alone with the bully. Use the bathroom when other kids are there. If possible you may need to change your route to and from school to avoid the bully. Realise this is a temporary solution and make sure you get help from friends or adults to solve the problem. • Do something that the bully does not expect, like asking him to repeat what they’ve said. The bully is often not brave enough to do that.• Try answering and to everything the bully says. e.g. Bully “you have funny ears “Bullied “and?’”Bully “I can hang my coat on them” Bullied “and?”Bully “they make you look like an aeroplane”Bullied “and?” and so on • Bullies pick on people they think are timid. Walk tall. Keep your arms uncrossed and shoulders back. Don’t look at the ground. Speak in a firm, loud clear voice. Pretend, even if you don’t feel brave. • Keep a diary. Write down incidents, dates, times, and witnesses. When you decide to report the bully, you have a lot of evidence.• Tell your parents or other adults. You need help. Don’t suffer in silence. No one

can help unless you say something. Bullies depend on secrecy.• If you don’t want to do something, say “NO” firmly and don’t give in to pressure.• If you are not sure what you want to do or what you will agree to, say “I need more time to decide” or “I need more information.”• Use permanent markers or sew-on tags to mark all your belongings – every pencil, crayon, ruler, lunch box, sports gear and so on. Label in such a way that labels can’t be destroyed without damaging the item itself.• Pretend to keep eye contact with the bully by using the “magic eye”. Locate a small space above the nose and in between the eyebrows. When you talk to the bully, look at the “magic eye.” It is easier to look at the “magic eye” than into their eyes. If you look away, don’t look at the ground. Look past their ear. Don’t stare – staring is often seen as a challenge. When you feel you have to look away, go back to the “magic eye” as soon as you can.• Leave important or valuable possessions at home so the bully can’t steal or break them. For example, if you have an old cell phone, take that to school and save you valuable up-to-date phone for occasions when other people are with you to support you.• Make friends. Do things to boost your confidence, like taking up a hobby, joining a club, or taking up sport or martial arts. Martial arts are not about looking for fights. They teach confidence and ways to defend yourself.FOGGINGTeasing can be a form of bullying. If you respond to insults in an angry way this may entertain the bully. Fogging can be useful to deflect verbal abuse.HOW TO USE ITMake a list of the bully’s teasing remarks. Plan what you will answer in response. Practice in front of the mirror or with a parent, friend, counselor or someone you trust. When you answer, stand with an open posture. Don’t cross your arms or legs. Maintain eye contact (using the “magic eye”). Pretend to be brave.• Now play a game of agreeing partially or in full with the bully, e.g.Bully – Your ears stick outBullied – That’s true

Bully – They stick out so much I can hang my coat on themBullied – I can see why you think that may be true….and so on. A bully may use a question instead of a statement. To use fogging, make a game of getting the bully to make a statement, e.g. Bully – Why do you smell?Bullied – Why do you think I smell?Bully – You live in a trailer park.Bullied – That’s your opinion (fogging). Why do you think that?Bully – You dress like a poor whiteBullied – Sorry you see it that wayBully – You need to learn to washBullied – That’s your opinionAnd so on…Don’t get hooked into a quarrel.If possible, avoid a physical fight. Most bullies are stronger than their victims. Avoid getting hurt. However, you may need to stand up for yourself if fights become physical. If you are forced to fight, try not to show fear. Block blows, with your elbows, yell at the bully to stop, attract attention and get backup if you can. It you are afraid of being physically harmed, take lessons in self defence or martial arts. Go to the library or internet and learn self defence strategies if you can’t afford lessons. Being prepared will give you greater confidence if you are attacked. Make sure you don’t start the fight. Report the bullying at once. Go to the police and lay a charge of assault.THE AFTERMATHOnce bullying stops many victims find they don’t feel okay immediately. It takes time to rebuild your confidence. Many adults who were bullied say it made them stronger and more determined to prove bullies wrong.REFERENCE: HICKSON A. (2011) HOW TO STOP BULLYING.

On Thursday 8 March, a resident in Simon Street, Rynfield pressed her panic button and the Control Room immediately despatched a vehicle.It was then established that there were 3 suspects on the premises.Additional vehicles were sent to the scene.The first patrol vehicle arrived at the scene and spotted the suspects, who jumped into a waiting vehicle and drove off.A chase ensued and our patrol vehicle was joined by SAPS vehicle BE71 and the

suspects’ vehicle was stopped.Two of the suspects fled on foot, but the driver of the vehicle was apprehended.We understand that members of the SAPS later apprehended the other 2 suspects.We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks, not only to our patrolmen, but to the SAPS members on duty in BE71 that day.We commend you all.

• For the chicken:• large free-range chicken, trimmed of all excess fat• salt and pepper• half a large, unskinned onion• 2 bay leaves• 3 whole cloves• 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed• 2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed• a lemon• boiling water

This weeks recipe...Coronation Chicken Salad

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Put the chicken into a large, deep roasting pan, and season well with salt and pepper, inside and out. Push the onion, bay leaves, cloves, cardamom pods and garlic into the cavity of the chicken. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze it over the chicken. Place one of the squeezed-out lemon halves into the cavity. Pour boiling water into the bottom of the roasting pan to a depth of three centimeters. Cover tightly with tin foil, and place in the hot oven.

Bake at 180º C for an hour and ten minutes, or until the chicken is cooked right through. Remove from the oven and set aside, still covered.

In the meantime, place the new potatoes in a pot of salted cold water, bring to the boil and cook until just tender (about 20-25 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.

Now make the dressing. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the mustard seeds, cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Fry, over a high heat, until the mustard seeds begin to pop and crackle. Now add the onion, garlic and ginger, turn down the heat a little and cook gently for two to three minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the bay leaves, lemon slices, tomato paste, white wine, apricot jam (or chutney) and chicken stock. Allow the mixture to cook at a brisk bubble for five to seven minutes, or until it has reduced slightly. You should have a slightly thickened, shiny spice paste. Stir in the cumin, turmeric and curry powder and cook for another minute.

Remove from the heat, fish out the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

Strip the chicken from the bones and discard any skin, sinew or fat. Cut or tear into strips. Slice the new potatoes in half, crossways.

Put the mayonnaise, yoghurt and sour cream into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the cooled spiced paste, a few tablespoons at a time, until the mixture tastes right for you. I like a quite strongly flavored dressing, but you might prefer a milder mix. (Any remaining spice paste can be refrigerated for use in a future curry.)

Stir in the lemon juice, along with the chicken and the halved new potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss gently and thoroughly to combine.

Tip into a pretty salad bowl, and chill for at least an hour (but not more than two). Scatter with freshly chopped parsley or coriander and dust with a little paprika.

• For the salad:• 30 new potatoes• 45ml vegetable oil• 10ml black mustard seeds• thumb-length stick of cinnamon• 2 whole cardamom pods, lightly crushed• 1 onion, peeled and very finely chopped or coarsely grated• large clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped• 15 ml grated fresh ginger• 2 bay leaves• 2 slices of lemon, skin on• 20 ml tomato paste• 60 ml white wine• 45ml apricot jam, or sweet, fruity chutney• 60 ml chicken stock (from the pan you used to cook the chicken)

• To serve:• fresh parsley or coriander [cilantro]• a dusting of paprika

• 5ml ground cumin• 5ml ground turmeric• 15ml medium curry powder• 250 ml mayonnaise• 125ml plain white full-fat yoghurt• 125ml sour cream• juice of a lemon• salt and milled black pepper

Method: Serves 8

From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning Sideways, set in Hawaii, The Descendants is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.
