IT is that time of the yearagain – public holidays andearly deadlines.

Display and classified ad-vertising deadline is 12pmon Thursday 2 April. Copydeadline is the same.

The Greytown Gazette of-fice will be open on Monday6 April, but only to processlast-minute sports or newsreports.

Monday 27 April is Free-dom Day which also means

an early deadline of 1pm onThursday 23 April for dis-play and classified advertis-ing.

Again the GreytownGazette office will be openfrom 8am to 11am, but onlyto process last-minute sportsand news.

That time of yearTHEGreytownGardenClubheld itssummer meeting and AGM on 10February at the home of Vic andKaren Shroder.

In her report Sally Jane Crowethanked all the 2014 committeemembers for their dedication.Thereweremanyhighlightsduring2014, culminating in a successfulChristmas meeting. However, de-spite appeals to everyone at thismeeting to come forward and jointhe garden club committee, therehas been little response

The small seven-member com-mittee for 2015 is Sally Jane Crowe(chairlady), Kim Steyn (secretary),Ronel Barber, Karen Schroder,

Ester van Rooyen, Elsie Fourie andWendy Selley.

A decline in attendance at recentmonthly meetings, combined withthe escalating costs of securing ap-propriate speakers, increasingcosts of advertising as well as thesmall committee has led to the una-voidable decision to hold seasonalgardenclubmeetings insteadof themonthly meeting as in the past,namely in summer, autumn,winterand spring.

At the summer meeting guestspeaker Alida Oosthuizen spokeabout the relevant topic of water-wise gardening.

The topic for theautumnmeeting

isatTranquiliTeaon12Mayat9amfor 9.30am, is bulbs and crafts.

Elna from Ballito Art and Craftswill demonstrate mosaic ideas forthe home and garden. This will befollowed by Pippa Harris and TaruThomas speaking on how andwhere to plant bulbs. For those en-thusiastic to put into practice whatthey have heard, craft items andbulbswill be on sale after themeet-ing.

BURSAR


"I FEEL very honoured and some-what overawed at being asked topay tribute to such a great lady. Ihave known Mum for many yearsandhave come to learn to love andadmire her. She was an only childborn in 1921 in England - as ateenager she was sent to a finish-ing school in Switzerland. Shethen joined her mother at theWil-derness Hotel and the MargateHotel which her mother hadbought.

At theageof17shestartednurs-ing training at AddingtonHospitaland it was there that shemet Mol-lye and they remained friends for77 years.Mollye andThelmawerein a queue waiting for a pay-outat the Durban July horse racewhen theymetAlbertMacfarlane,and the rest is history.

Having come from a dysfunc-tionalhomeThelmarevelled inthefamily unit and loved communitylife in Ixopo. Sport was her greatlove and she played in the tennisleague, laterbowlsandbecameanA-gradebowls umpire. Gardeningwas her passion and she was verygenerous in giving friends bulbsand plant cuttings - they never lefther home empty handed.

She settled in Ixopo unable to

boilanegg,butsoonbecameprofi-cient in exhibiting at the RoyalShow in Pietermaritzburg. Manyhourswerealsospentdoing tapes-try, smocking baby dresses, knit-ting and exhibiting on the W.I.stand

She was the Guinness WorldRecords material as she smokedall her life, ate very little fruit andvegetables, but lived a veryhealthy life for 94 years.

Thelma was always incrediblyhospitable, fiercely independent,very private, loyal, a disciplinari-an - her childrenwere pruned likeher garden and they blossomed.She loved peanut butter. She wasa giver of brightness, a giver ofhope. She was resilient, coura-geous and yet after a lifetime ofgiving, she was the one over-whelmed with gratitude. That istrue greatness.

She never got over the murderof her son Malcolm.

Today we give thanks to God forthe life and example of Thelma.She will always be rememberedfor her ladylike behaviour, for herkindness and sense of humour.

Gowellgranny,wewillmissyou,but never forget you.”

Sir, IT was refreshing andencouragingtoreadMrMa-vundla's letter urging ap-plicants of all groups to ap-ply for employment oppor-tunities at the new mall. Ata timewhen employment isscarce, especially in asmaller rural town such asGreytown, I can under-stand that he is perplexedat the apparent reluctanceof theminorities toapply forpositions advertised. How-ever, I hereby offer the fol-lowing explanation thatmight clarify the reasonwhy certain minoritygroups are reluctant to re-spond to employment ad-vertisements.

I write from the perspec-tive of the white minorityand as the mother of twosons who have grown upknowing no other than ademocratic South Africa.Unfortunately, despite theidealism of those heady,early days of our country'sdemocracy and the hopes

for equality, it soon becameapparent that in anattemptto rectify the injustices ofthe past, some would bedeemed more equal thanothers.

My boys grew up facingthe reality that, because oftheir pigmentation (or lackthereof) and gender, theywere relegated to pariahstatus. From a variety ofsources they were con-stantly reminded thatwhitemaleswouldbethelastcon-sideredwhen it came to ap-plying for employment po-sitions especially for thoseadvertised by government,provincial or municipal en-tities. Formanyof thewhiteminority group, this hasbeen the reality. Othershave felt demoralised, re-signing themselves to thefact that no matter whattheir qualification or abilitymight be theywould not getthe job because of their sta-tus as the least desirablecategory of applicants.

Of late,with the seeming-lyneverendinglistofBsandEs being added to theBBBEEE company require-ments, I have felt dismaythat, two decades since webecame a democracy,South Africans still deem itnecessary to justify our ex-istence by token of race.

Surely it is time we alllook ahead, but not forgetwhere we have come fromso that we do not repeat theerrors of the past.

I therefore commend youMr Mavundla on yourstance of non-racial dis-crimination, championingthe ideals of a free and fairsociety and taking a moralstance for what is funda-mentally right. I sincerelyhope thatyourencouragingstancewill elicit anenthusi-astic response fromoptimistic job seekers forthe soon-to-be-openedMavundla Square.

Sir, A PLEASANT Sunday was enjoyed bymany at the Green Bar for a concert wheretheaudiencewasspoiltbytwotalentedmu-sical artists - Emma du Preez, who grewup in Rietvlei and attended local schoolsas a junior and Mjosi of Idols fame.

Unfortunately, the acoustics were notideal and this was compounded by incon-sideratemembers of the audience, both in-side and outside, who talked non-stopthroughout the performance. Not only did

they set a poor example of bad behaviourto the many young concert goers but alsoshowed adisrespect to the outstanding tal-ents of these two artists.

How very luckyGreytown is to have suchan event organised for their entertainmentand what a brilliant idea for a fundraiser.

For those who do not want to listen - goshout somewhere else please.

Sir, WORLD TB Day was on 24 March. Itis the leadingcauseofdeath inSouthAfricaand Swaziland. One thousand per 100 000people suffer from tuberculosis.

Here are 10 things you should know tosupport the global effort to find, treat andcure tuberculosis, so it is important thatev-eryone be aware of the facts about the dis-ease.

If untreated, one person with TB can af-fect 10 to 15 others as the germs spreadthrough the air. It is essential to get testedfor TB if you have had a cough for morethan twoweeks, or if youhaveunexplainedweight loss,fever ornightsweats.

The goodnews is thatTB can becured withantimicrobi-al drugs.Testing,treatmentand care isfree in SouthAfrica.HIV increases a person’s risk of get-ting TB and is a leading killer of HIV-posi-tive people, causing one in four of all HIV-related deaths. Around 55% of South Afri-can TB patients also test positive for HIV.

Drug-resistant TB, called MDR-TB orXDR-TB, is a growing problem becausepeople don’t take their TB medicationproperly or don’t finish it. South Africa hasthe second highest number of reporteddrug-resistant TB cases, globally.

TB among prisoners is estimated to beseven timeshigher than in thegeneralpop-ulation. High HIV prevalence in migrantworkers and crowded conditions have ledto an increase in TB on the mines, whereincidence is estimated to be 3 000 per100 000 miners. All categories of health-care workers – facility staff, communityhealth workers and volunteers – are also

at higher risk of getting TB.Testing for TB is not simple – it is normallydonewith twosputum(coughed-upmucus)tests and sometimes chest X-rays. TB ismuch harder to diagnose in children somake sure your new-born receives a BCGvaccination which protects against sometypes of TB.

Diabetes triples the riskofdevelopingTBand complicates treatment. WHO esti-mates that around 15% of the global bur-den of tuberculosis is associated with dia-betes and diabetes rates are rising, partic-ularly in Africa.

Early andcompletetreatment isby far thebest way tocure TB andprevent itfrom devel-oping intodrug-resist-antTB. If youhave TB,take your

treatment every day as directed by yourhealthcareworker and don’t stop until youare told you can.

Giveyourbody thebest chance togetbet-ter by living a healthy life – don’t smoke,take drugs or drink alcohol as these are allthings that make TB worse.

“This is a community disease,” saysMin-ister of Health Dr Motsoaledi.

TB does not discriminate based on race,gender or socio-economic status – every-one is at risk. Stigma surrounding TB (thebelief that TB only affects the poor, for ex-ample) is preventing people from gettingtested and the treatment they need to getbetter.

A person with untreated TB is muchmore likely to spread it to others so richor poor, TB affects us all and we all havea role to play in stopping it.

Hermannsburg happenings

Our visitors arrived from Germany on Friday for the first leg of the 2015 Germany Exchange Programme.

HERE at our Little Oaks Kinder-garten “my home,my family andmy pets” has been our theme forthe past two weeks. As part ofthis theme, we learnt about thedifferent kinds of houses peoplelive and lived in, andwe sawhowpeople lived long ago.

We had an outing to our ownHMB Museum, where Mrs PetraReibeling showed us the big oxwagon themuseumhas - like theones that were travelled and

lived in a long time ago by Boerfamilies when they left the Capeto go and live in the interior ofour country.

We learnt that these wagonswere covered with a sail andpulled by many oxen, that in thewagons the Boers had all theirfurniture and other possessionsand they travelled very far withtheir wagons. We touched thisbig wagon and saw a picture ofthewagon being pulled by 16 ox-en.

A big thank you to Mrs PetraReibeling and Mrs Inge vonFintel foralwaysmaking time forus and for teaching us new andinteresting things about ourbeautiful country’s history.

DRUGS and alcohol abusedestroy lives, families, andcommunities. Drug-relatedissues on their own cost thestate millions every year.

Theonlywaywecan fightthis issue is by educatingthe youth at an early age.Hence, the team of Harmo-ny Retreat has given itstime to Greytown Second-ary School. Whether youlike to admit it or not, yourchild might experimentwithdrugsandalcohol dur-ing their schooling, withpeers, and at parties.

The best way to supportand fight this is with inten-sive education on the sub-ject. Dealers and thosewhomake a living out of drugsand alcohol don't tell theyouth what drugs and alco-hol can do to their minds.Theymislead the youth intobelieving that drugs are"cool", take away stress,make you smarter and thatalcohol is good for relaxing- none of which are true.

Let us drug-proof ourcommunity schools, andso-cieties. Let us drug-proofour children.

“Idon't thinkthatmypar-ents had realised that I wasa teenage alcoholic anddrug addict. After all, I wasactiveat schoolandmyaca-demics were visible. I gotgood grades, andmychoice

of subjects reflected a suc-cessful future. I came froma moderate family and ev-erything looked good fromthe outside. My dad was amild drinker. No one sus-pected that I had beendrunk or high most of thetime. But it didn't take longafter that when my lifestarted spiralling out ofcontrol. I needed help, butI didn't know where to go,andmyparentsdidn'tknowanything about drugs andaddiction. Instead theyforcedme to stop, but itwastoo late, theyhad to takemeawayfromthecurrentenvi-ronment I lived in. It didn'thelp.Nothingworked. Iwasaddicted, and I wasn't onlyfighting drugs and alcoholcravings but also a deadlyaddiction.

“My story is not unusual.Therearemanyparentsoutthere who don't know thattheir children are on drugsuntil it's too late. In thenextcouple of months, the NarcReportwill be giving you vi-tal information on drug-re-lated issues, and youth-al-cohol prevention. The pur-pose of this initiative is todrug-proof your childrenand society.

“A message to every par-ent - there is hope for ourchildren. But we have to beaware of the signs and

symptoms, and we need toknow what to do. It is im-portant to be mindful andconsiderate towards ourchildren, but be aggressiveagainst drugs and alcoholconsumption and availa-ble. Some general signs foryou to observe:

• Be aware that drugscan make a person verysneaky.

• Suddenmood swings orchanges.

• Personal hygiene.• Staying away from

homeforunusualperiodsoftime without explanation.

• Sudden loss of appetiteand weight.

• Constant need to sleep.• Money going missing.• Red eyes and dilated

pupils.• Lack of participation

with the family.• Lack of interest in aca-

demics and/or grades dete-riorating.

Theseare justsomeof themany signs and symptoms,but be careful becausesome of these signs can beconfusedwith normal signsof adolescences.

AS load shedding has, and will, becomemore prevalent, consumers are looking atliquefied petroleum gas as an alternativeenergy source for cooking and heating athome. With gas-powered appliances be-comingmore cost-effective, and the supplyof LP gas reliable, it is expected more peo-ple will diversify the energy mix in theirhomes by going with gas.

“The national power grid is expected tobe constrained this winter, which meanspower outages whendemand exceeds sup-ply. Like other alterna-tive and renewable en-ergy sources, LP gaspresents an opportuni-ty to,” says Eskom’s act-ing spokesperson Khu-lu Phasiwe.

As a basic guideline, gas heaters use ap-proximately 100 grams of gas per panel inone hour, which means that one kilogramof gas could provide roughly 10 hours ofheating (whenoneof the threepanels is lit).The amount of gas heaters consume canvary depending on the type of heater andhow it is used - being an oil derivative, thecost of gas is linked to the fuel price andcan be calculated as approximately two li-tres of petrol being equivalent to one kilo-gram of gas.

When it comes to cooking on a gas stove,a 9kg gas bottlewill last between three andsixmonthsanda19kgbottleapproximatelyeight months or even a year depending on

how frequently the stove is used. The priceof LPGas for domestic use is regulated. Theinland cost is approximatelyR181 for a9kgbottle and R383 for a 19kg bottle as at 7January, households can go to the Depart-ment of Energy’s website (www.ener-gy.gov.org) to check the current price.

Households are required to get a Certifi-cate of Conformity from an installer certi-fied through the Liquefied Petroleum GasSafety Association of South Africa (LPGSA-

SA) - only a registeredLPGas Installer is legal-ly qualified to under-take such installations.A comprehensive list ofregistered installers isavailable via theLPGSASA website(www.lpgas.co.za) or

directly at www.saqccgas.co.zaThis requirement is vitally important for

consumers as insurance companies mayreject a claim in the event of a fire if correctinstallation procedures were not followed.

TheLPGas industry inSouthAfrica issta-ble and enjoys an excellent safety record,with the LPGSASA working to ensure sus-tainable growth of the liquefied petroleumgas industry through compliance with bestsafety and business practices. Kevin Rob-ertson, the chief executive officer at theLPGSASA, believes there is great potentialforgas to replaceelectricity forheatingandcooking in the residential sector.

“Safety of gas appliances has improved

tremendously in the past decade and SouthAfricans are assured of a more stable sup-ply of gas. While South Africa has limitedproduction capacity, there is a glut in sup-ply internationally. The Department of En-ergy has taken steps to make it easier toimportgasandinvestmentsarebeingmadeby major suppliers to help ensure a stablesupply by expanding bulk storage facili-ties,” says Robertson

When buying a gas appliance, such as aheater, stove or free-standing cooker, con-sumers are advised to purchase an appli-ance that has a permit verification numberdisplayed on it. If it does not have a permitit has not been verified for sale in South Af-rica. Manufacturers are continuously

THEFTfromvehicles inPietermaritzburgandsurrounds isoftenduetonegligenceandcare-lessness on the part of motorists, says Mid-lands communications spokesperson Lieu-tenant Joey Jeevan in a recent press release.

A number of reported thefts out of vehiclesoccur without forced entry, which makes itpossible to believe that suspects are using ajamming device on the locking system whenthe motorist activates the alarm.

This typeof theft isregardedasopportunis-tic crime and to avoid this the following safetymeasures must be taken at all times:• Keep doors locked windows shut.• Do not leave your firearm in the cubbyholeor anywhere in the vehicle when you park(this is against the law).• Valuable items, laptopsandcamerasshouldnot be left in your car or, if you have no otheroption, should be placed in the boot.

• Be aware of people telling you that youhavea flat tyre, the intention can be to steal itemsinside the car.• Do not openwindows for hawkers along theroad and at the traffic lights .• Do not use a cellphonewhile driving, unlessyou have a hands-free kit.• Store luggage in the boot.• Donot leavehandbagorbriefcase in thecar.• Do not leave keys in the ignition.• Remove detachable radios and the radiosface when getting out of the car.• Have your keys in your hand as you ap-proach your car, especially if they are difficultto find in your handbag.• Parking lots with a parking attendant or su-pervisionor someonepatrollingarebest, oth-erwise park in well-lit locations and/or wellpopulated and not crowded by bush or build-ings where offenders might be hiding.
