HELDERBERG: PUBLIEKE EN PRIVAATVENNOOTSKAPPE BEPLAN

Sakekamerwil ophef

DALEEN FOUCH

n Herlewing van burgerregteli-

ke samelewing is besig om in die

Helderberg plaas te vind wat die

opheffingvandie distrik tendoel

het.

Die Helderberg Sakekamer het

verlede week aangekondig dat die

organisasie pro-aktief betrokke

raak by die opheffing van die Hel-

derberg, publieke en privaat-ven-

nootskappe te stig en positiewe ver-

andering te stimuleer.

Adriaan Theron, sekretaris van

die Helderberg Sakekamer, s die

sakekamer was voorheen slegs n

netwerk-organisasie, maar die be-

stuur wil vanjaar aktief n rol speel

om n ontwikkelingsplan vir die

Helderberg te fasiliteer.

Hy verduidelik dat die plaaslike

regering reeds n raamwerk vir die

ontwikkeling en opheffing van die

Helderberg in plek het, naamlik die

Helderberg Distriksplan, wat die

ruimtelike ontwikkelingsplan en

omgewingsbestuur-raamwerk uit-

eensit.TheronsdieHelderbergSa-

kekamer het drie punte gedentifi-

seer wat veral aandag moet geniet.

Die eerste is die lok van besigheid.

Hier is goeie ontwikkelingspoten-

siaalvirgrootmaatskappyeomvan-

uit die Kaapstad-sakekern te ver-

huis na die Helderberg-omgewing

om so druk op die paaie-infrastruk-

tuur te verlig. Die tweede is om be-

soekers en toeriste te lok na dieHel-

derberg. Theron meen die Helder-

berg het n spog-kuslyn, n

fantastiese wynroete en asemro-

wende natuurskoon wat bemark

moet word. Hy s n voorbeeld hier-

van is die feit dat walvisse die Hel-

derberg-kuslynbesoek,maaromdat

die Helderberg nie as n walvis be-

stemming bemark word nie, lok die

area nie daardie nismark van toe-

ristenie.DiederdepuntwatdieHel-

derberg Sakekamer aan aandag wil

skenk is om die ekonomiese aktiwi-

teite inKuswegteondersteunomdit

lewensvatbaar temaak.Theronver-

duidelik dat alhoewel daar wel be-

sighede is wat finansieel baie suk-

sesvol is, vind ander besighede dit

moeilik om volhoubaar te wees. Hy

meen die ontwikkeling vanKusweg

om ekonomiese aktiwiteit te onder-

steun is noodsaaklik.

Daantjie Malan, nuut verkose

voorsitter van die Helderberg Sake-

kamer, s die Helderberg het baie

potensiaal en is n ideale bestem-

ming in Kaapstad. Malan s die nu-

we energie in die Helderberg Sake-

kamer is wat nodig is om positiewe

verandering te dryf. Ek is baie op-

gewonde oor die planne. Malan,

wat ook voorsitter van die Strand

belastingbetalersvereniging is,

meen die twee organisasies trek

aandieselfde tuigensalgoedsaam-

werk om dieselfde doel te bereik.

Raadslid Stuart Pringle, voorsit-

ter van subraad 8, het die aankondi-

gingverwelkomensdieburgerreg-

telikesamelewingindieHelderberg

begin al hoe meer aktief betrokke

raak. Voorbeelde hiervan is die

nuut gestigte vereniging wat rels

vir die stap van honde in Radloff-

park reguleer. Hy meen slegs wan-

neer die gemeenskap aktief betrok-

ke raak en eienaarskap oor hulle

omgewing neem, sal werklike posi-

tiewe verandering plaasvind.

Theron s dieHelderbergSakeka-

mer wil hoofsaaklik by die Helder-

berg-gemeenskappe uitvindwat vir

hulle belangrik is in terme van ont-

wikkelingvandieareaennooialdie

burgerlike organisasies in die Hel-

derberg om ook insette te lewer.

Die Helderberg Sakekamer het

rolspelers na n vergadering genooi

om die konsep verder te verken op

Helplessnessafterdevastating fire

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

CaraDeutschmann of SomersetWest and

her family are trying to put their lives to-

gether after a fire at their home on Tues-

day.

David Morris, Deutschmanns son who

lived with her, says he went to the bathroom

and had left his cellphone in the charger on

his bed. On his return to his room a fewmin-

utes later his bed was alight with flames al-

ready leaking at the ceiling.

Morris, a nature conservationist, says he

only had time to carry the familys two dogs

downstairs, ensuring that they and the cat

were safely outside before the entire floorup-

stairs was engulfed in flames.

He is grateful for the help of neighbours,

emergency services, including thepolice and

the security company that helped.

Yesterday (Wednesday)Deutschmann, her

daughter Lilma-Jean and David were at the

home that holds countless memories for

them, as their belongingswere being packed

away for storageby insurance companystaff.

Deutschmann (60) says her parents bought

theirhomefromawell-knownSomersetWest

coupleMary andEphriamLevinson about 35

years ago.

Deutschmann proudly showed off the an-

tique furniture in the dining room that her

dad had made, and her eyes becomes moist

as she recalls the items he hadmade thatwas

burnt in the fire.

When Lilma-Jean joined her mom to tell

her that Dolly could not be salvaged from

the ruins tears silently run down the wom-

ens faces. Dolly was a gift from Deut-

schmanns great-grandmother on her birth-

day which she says has faithfully travelled

with her in the past six decades.

Deutschmann says she hopes that she and

David, who is temporarily staying with Lil-

ma-Jean, will be able tomove back into their

home in three to six months.

Im old, she says as she protectively

wraps her arms around herself, I need my

security blanket.

But... the most important things have

been saved- my pets and my son, she says.

Hberg couple land inBahamas

after7500kmof rowing

Were ripped and shredded like

a tuna salad and have both lost

a lot of weight, but were very

grateful to be here after not see-

ing land for 74 days.

These were the words of Riaan

Manser Helderbergs famous ad-

venturer during an exclusive tele-

phone interview with the District-

Mail onTuesdayeveningshortlyaf-

ter landing at Cockburn Town, the

capital of San Salvador in the Baha-

mas.

Riaan together with his

girlfriend Vasti Gelden-

huys are rowing fromAfri-

ca to New York in a seven

metre rowing boat. They

left the coastal town of

Marrakesh in Morocco on

31 December 2013. They

have to date rowed around

7 500 km and have 2 400 km

to go before they reach

New York, which should

take themroughly another

month.

Vasti is the first woman

on theAfrican continent to

undertake a rowing expe-

dition such as this.

Its such a surreal expe-

rience to have landed on

Long Bay on San Salvador

Island, only six kilometres

from where Columbus

landed in 1492.

We didnt even know

that Long Bay, where we

landed this morning (16

April) was where Colum-

bus landed, its completely

surreal.

We were both so wobbly and

shakywhenwegot off our little boat

we could barely walk. It felt so

strange to be on land again and

walking was a bit of a challenge.

Riaan said that during the last

four days before they landed they

had seen more and more cruise lin-

ers. He explained that because their

rowing boat was so tiny one of the

cruise liners almostwent right over

them.

We could see the passengers on

the cruise liner and that massive

shipwas getting closer and closer to

us and it was obvious that he

couldnt seeus. I eventuallycontact-

ed the ships captain via radio and

told him that his ship was bearing

down on us and to alter course. The

captain said he couldnt see us, but

he did change course in time.

Riaan said that structurally the

rowing boat was still fine, but there

were a few minor repairs that they

had to make.

He explained that after

they capsized they lost the

satellite phone and some

equipment and thought it

was the end of the world.

However, they re-as-

sessed the situation and

sorted everything out and

carried on.

Somuch couldve gone

wrong during that 74-day

crossing, were just

thankful that were okay

and the boat is fine.

Riaan, who is a keen

fisherman, did however

point out that the fishing

had been excellent and

they had already caught

seven different species of

fish including, shark, do-

rado and tuna.

He said that just before

landing on the islandVas-

ti had caught a 10 kg tuna

andhehadboatedanhuge

dorado, which he estimat-

ed was about 18 to 20 kg.

Theplannowis thatwe

rest and recover physically for two

to three days, eat some good nutri-

tious foodandrepair theboatbefore

starting thenext legofour journey.

The island is very small and laid

back and only has the basic necessi-

ties so we wont be able to sort out

everything on the boat, but well be

fine.

He stressed that this 74-day

stretch had been very tough, both

emotionally and physically and

they had both also lost a lot of

weight. When they left Morocco he

weighed 104 kg and now weighed

89 kgwhileVastihad lostabout 9kg.

During the interview Riaan said

they had just got back from a small

supermarket on the island laden

with treats and snacks such as

chips, biscuits, sweets, cold drinks

and beer.

Vasti said she was particularly

moved by the reception they re-

ceived from the locals, especially

the children who sang songs of joy

whentheycameinto thesmallmari-

na.

Riaan is amazed that the people

ofCockburnTowntreated themlike

absolute royalty and seemed to be

in awe of them.He said the adminis-

trator of the town personally wel-

comed them to the town and went

outofhisway tomake themfeelwel-

come.

Wecantwait to start thenext leg

of our journey and get to New York.

Were really missing our families,

friends, dogs and the Helderberg in

general.

Riaan insisted on using the Dis-

trictMail, to thank all the people in

the Helderberg for their fantastic

support via Twitter and said it was

these people who gave them the

courage and inspiration to carry on

and finish their voyage.

Riaan and Vasti land on Cockburn Town, the capital of San Salvador in

the Bahamas. With them are some local children who came to welcome

them to their town.

Riaan and Vasti were overcome with joy on reaching

San Salvador island in the Bahamas after being at

sea for 74 days.

Die verwoesting van bome as

Verskeie bome, veralwilgerbome

Hy s die Stad het omgewings-

bome verkry by die departement

Herron s voordat n boom afge-

kap word, word daar bepaal of die

boom die vloei van die rivier in tye

van vloede sal benvloed.

Indien die boom wel as n risiko

beskou word, sal dit verwyder

word.

Newmosque forGordons Bay

CASSY VAN EEDEN

The Gordons Bay Islamic

Trust (GBIT) has identified a

growing need within the local

Muslim community for a

mosque in the town.

The trust was established to

address this need and oversee

the process of buying property

and developing the facilities.

The trust has identified a

property on the corner of Roos

Street and Lancaster Road in

Gordons Bay.

An agreement has been met

between the seller and theGor-

dons Bay Islamic Society. The

trust is in theprocessof raising

funds to secure a deposit.

Once the land is secured, col-

lection drives will be held to

raise funds for the building.

Abdul Sonday, a trustee of

theGBIT, said there is still a lot

that needs to be done before

building can begin.

The community currently

Recycle tohelpSonja

The big container outside Melts Tavern

inGordonsBaymayseemlikeyouraver-

age recyclingbin. It is in fact an inspiring

community effort to help raise funds for

GordonsBayresidentSonjaleRoux,who

has been diagnosed with cancer.

In February 2012 and onher 33rd birthday,

Sonja received the devastating news that the

mole she had removed from her neck was

cancerous. Fast forward to 18 months later,

shewas experiencing severe pain in her low-

er back andnumerous scans showed that the

cancer had spread.

Shewas diagnosedwith stage IVMetastat-

ic Malignant Melanoma.

Within a fewweeks, the cancer had spread

vigorously and was detected inmost parts of

her body her chest, bones, abdominal solid

organs, soft tissue nodules and multiple

lymphnodesintheneck.Thebiggestconcern

was the tumours she developed onher brain.

Once it was established that she had B-Raf

mutation, shewasaccepted formedical trials

in November 2012. The wife and mother of

three has experienced amazing results

withinherorgans, but the trialshadnoeffect

on the tumours.

Unfortunately in her case, surgery is not

an option and the trial medication designed

to treat the late stages of Metastatic Malig-

nant Melanoma with the B-Raf mutation is

currently not available in SA.

Therefore, she will have to seek medical

treatment in the United States.

Tohelp cover someof the costs,Melts Tav-

ern together with Broadlands Scrapmetal

and Recycling implores everyone to drop

their empty glass bottles in the container.

Horseenjoysa refreshing summer shower

On Friday 11 April 2014, in the middle

of the unseasonal heat wave we experi-

enced, I was at the horse farms behind

the Lourensford Wine Estate.

In one of the camps, a horse was hav-

ing a lazy afternoon shower under an

irrigationpoint in the camp.When I ap-

proached the horse, he turned his head

towards me, gave me a funny look, and

continuedwithhis shower as if Iwasnt

there. I got the distinct impression he

toldme that this ismy shower, go cool

down somewhere else.

So I just politely snapped him with

my camera, excused myself, and went

to look for human refreshment.

I gladly donate the photo of the Lou-

rensford horse having a shower to the

Districtmail.

Yours faithfully

MotorcyclesonBeachRoadabig headache

Our family has owned a private dwell-

ing on the Strand beach front for four

generations. Over the years we have

grown to accept the increase in traffic

and its accompanying noise.

What is however, increasingly unac-

ceptable is the noise levels of most mo-

torcycles. Some of the riders appear to

get some kind of thrill when they gun

their bikes between speed humps and

I have even seen one do wheelies for

most of the length of Beach Road a

process thatseemstogenerateaddition-

al noise.

The decibel levels must be in excess

of 140 in some instances.

My question is: unless the law on ex-

cess noise in public areas has been re-

scinded, why do traffic officers pretend

that they are deaf?

If they did their jobs properly they

could bring in a lot of revenue for the

city.

The solution to this problem will be

to ban motorcycles from using Beach

Road. But in a democratic country the

bikerswill probably claim their human

rights are being affected.

the roads

this Easter

Easter is a special period for

Christians and a time to reflect on

life and spend time with loved ones

and family.

It is also a time when many fami-

lies leave the Helderberg to visit

popular holiday destinations or

travel far and wide to see relatives

all over the country.

Due to the fact that the Easter

weekend is fairly short, many

motorists travelling long distances

are in ahurry to reach their destina-

tion. This unfortunately leads to

speeding or too many motorists not

adhering to the rules of the road.

Soifyouregoingtobeontheroads

this Easter, take extra care.

Get your vehicle checked and

serviced, donot speed or disobey the

road rules, stop for regular breaks

and have patience with fellow

motorists.

Whatever youre going to be doing

have a wonderful, peaceful and re-

laxing Easter weekend.

(Umpiring - the most thankless job in cricket?, Dis-

I was a Western Province and panel umpire during

at that time that the selection of umpires for games

by the Umpires Association left a lot to be desired.

If youcouldpass the exams thenyoucouldbeallocat-

ed club games in spite of being totally inept at judge-

ment of Leg Before Wickets (LBW) and deciding on

Atreat forbaby inSomersetWest

CASSY VAN EEDEN

Whoever thought that the alter-

native medical practice of re-

flexology was only for grown-

ups is about to be provenwrong.

The highly beneficial properties

of reflexology is now available for

children too, and it is quickly be-

coming a world-wide sensation.

And guess what?

It is now available in Somerset

West.

Baby Reflex is an international

brand.

Reflexology is a gentle, non in-

vasive therapy that encourages the

body to balance and heal itself,

says Laura Norris, a qualified in-

ternational Baby Reflex instruc-

tor. Norris and colleague Julie

Anne Vosloo have launched the

South African Baby Reflexology

headquarters in Somerset West

where Baby Reflexology classes

will be commencing soon.

So how does it work?

It involves applying finger or

thumb pressure to specific points

on hands and feet, said Norries.

These points are called reflex-

es and reflect ormirror the organs

and structures of the body as well

as a persons emotional health.

The Baby Reflexology technique

and brand was researched and de-

veloped by reflexology expert Jen-

nyLee in theUnitedKingdom,who

adapted reflexology techniques to

specifically suit theneeds of babies

and toddlers.

Baby Reflex offers a three week

- a total of four and a half hours -

course for parents which will

equip parents to help their babies

in the most vital and basic needs

of their babies, said Norris.

Parents will be taught methods

to enhance and cope with diges-

tion, sleeping and comforting and

the general well-being of their ba-

bies, which includes teething and

childhood ailments, she said.

Parents who are interested in at-

tending these workshops can con-

tact Laura Norris on 082 417 7944.

Sandra Larson, Julie Vosloo and Laura Norris of Baby Reflex are interna-

tionally trained in Baby Reflexology and have brought the brand to South

Africa for the first time, with head offices in Somerset West.

IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST VIOLENCE: Anglican churches throughout

the Western Cape participated in a silent protest this past Sunday in re-

sponse to increased violence in communities. The protest was in response

to a call from Bishop of the False Bay Diocese, Rev. Margaret Vertue. An-

glican churches across the Helderberg, including the All Saints Church in

Somerset West, heed to the call and participated in a silent witness

against violence and the incidence of abuse of women and children in the

Western Cape. The action was to raise awareness of the high levels of

crime, violence and drug-related incidents as well as to stand in solidarity

with those personally affected by this scourge.

kind se spaargeld stadig maar se-

ker deur die kanker te laat op-

vreet.

n Belegger bel my die ander

dag ommy oor sy belegging uit

te vra. Die oom is 68 jaar oud

en hy en sy vrou lewe tans van

die rente wat hulle op n beleg-

ging by n bank ontvang. Die

R1 400 000 is in n geldmark-

fonds bel waarvan die op-

brengs sowat 5% per jaar be-

dra.

Die rente van R6 000 per maand

is tans genoeg vir hulle om van

te leef, maar hulle moet hul sente

mooi omdraai om uit te kom.

In hulle geval bly die kapitaal

presies dieselfde, dus geen verlies

aan kapitaal nie. Of is daar?

Ek het dit aan die klint verdui-

delik dat sy geld in werklikheid

elke jaar verminder.

Hy het my nie geglo nie, aange-

sien sy state vanaf die bank elke

maand toon dat hy steeds

R1 400 000 as belegging het.

Dit is wel so, maar wat hy nie

besef nie is dat inflasie, die kan-

ker van n belegging, besig is om

sy belegging se waarde op te vreet

Tans staan ons inflasiekoers op

6%. Dit beteken dat indien jy

R6 000 per maand gebruik vir

kruideniersware, sal jy oor 12

maande vir dieselfde mandjie

A MORNING TO REMEMBER: A group of Helderberg Hospice patients were recently

treated to a mornings outing and tea at Monkey Town. They thoroughly enjoyed the guided

tour of the facility, marvelling at the antics of the monkeys, after which they were treated to

a generous tea provided by Rosalind Grobler, manager of Monkey Town. Events like these

are a real highlight in the lives of the patients and Helderberg Hospice is grateful for the

generosity and hospitality shown by Monkey Town. Enjoying the tea are Keith Gregor, Dalene

Reyneke, Michelle Jantjies, Sophie Davids, Joan Marais, Berta Arnolds, Monkey Town manag-

er Ros Grobler, Mardia Vermeulen, Freddie Salman, Heinrich Losper and Desiree Arendse.

EASTER EGG SALE: The

Somerset West Cake Dec-

orators Guild (SCDG) held

a very successful Easter-

egg sale last Friday when

they sold about 200

handcrafted easter eggs

at Waterstone Village.

Annerie MacDonald,

chairperson of the

(SCDG), says the 24

members made the 250

easter eggs over a period

of a month. This is one of

the SCDGs primary fund-

raisers and the money is

used to buy material and ingredients for the guilds annual

charity Christmas drive where Christmas fruitcakes are baked

and sponsored to local welfare organisations to be raffled

off for fundraising. Here, from the left, are SCDG members

at their easter-egg table Katrina Hendriks, Annerie MacDon-

ald and Karen Currin.

Karen Currin shows the deli-

cate work that goes into

making the easter eggs.
