Development 'athreat' to riding schoolDALEEN FOUCHÉ

A quiet sanctuary where disabledchildren can connect with horses be-lieves it is “in jeopardy” due to a loo-ming development.

The Chilanga Riding School for theDisabled, a non-profit organisation inParel Vallei Road, Somerset West is ap-pealingtothecommunityforhelptofightthe development of 23 double-storeyhouses with double garages on a 1,6 hec-tare property.

The proposed upmarket developmentis planned for the property previouslyknown as Straightway Head Hotel,which burned down in 2009.

Sally Kluth, founder of Chilanga andowner of the property next to the pro-posed development, says if the develop-mentisallowed, itwilldestroyherentirelife’s work to help disabled childrenthrough equestrian therapy.

She explains that the area still has arural atmosphere that will be lost if theproposed development is approved.Kluth says crime is already on the in-crease due to rapid urbanisation of thearea and she fears further developmentwill add to this trend.

Another big concern is the increase intraffic inParelValleiRoad.JohannEich-stadt, chairperson for the Chilanga Rid-ing School for the Disabled, says if thedevelopment goes ahead, more than 46extra cars will be added to an already-congested and dangerous road.

“The road is bad and full of potholes”.A tripgenerationwascompiledby ITS

Engineers.Thereport estimates the traf-

fic impact for theproposeddevelopment,andtheirfindingisthatthetrafficimpactwill be similar to the traffic generatedbythe Straightway Head Hotel. Locals arenot convinced, however.

Gys de Klerk, CEO of Dennis MossPartnership, the architects and engi-neers for the project, says the design oftheprojectisthatofavillage,whichaimstoretain the“senseofplace”.Hesays thezoning for thepropertyallows forahigh-er density development, but thedevelop-ers opted to keep it “low density”.

De Klerk says an environmental im-pactassessmentisnotneededforthepro-posed development. However, the devel-opment needs the approval from West-ern Cape Heritage to demolish theremaining foundations of the hotel, be-cause they are protected as heritagebuildings. Developers of the proposedStraightway Village are applying tocouncil for an amendment to approveddevelopment rightswhichwere applica-ble to the Straightway Head Hotel.

Public participation is now invited,and neighbours and affected partieshave until 25 November to object to theapplication.

Kluth says up to 30 disabled childrenattendasingleridinglesson,andover260in total. The farm is also home to threefamilies who work on the farm.

“I do not know what will happen tothem if I have to sell the farm.”

Sport crayfishing cutby56%DALEEN FOUCHÉ

Recreational fishermen are up inarmsabout reducedquotas for thecrayfish season, warning of dam-age to the local tourism industry.

The 2013-14 crayfish season’s TotalAllowable Catch (TAC) was recentlyannounced by the Department ofAgriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(DAFF), with significant reductionsin volume and fishing days allowedfor recreational fishermen. Theirseason is reduced to 26 days, com-pared to 57 days previously.The dates are from 15November to

17 November, from 14 December to1 January 2014, and on public holi-days from 18 April 2014 to 21 April2014. The reason for the cut, as statedby Desmond Stevens, Acting DeputyDirector-General for Fisheries Man-

agement, is to gain a clear accumula-tive recovery target of 35% for cray-fish by 2021.According to Cary Steele-Boe,

chairperson of Recreational FishingServices and Gordon’s Bay resident,recreational fishermen will only beallowed 83 tons for the new season,compared to the 183 tons for last year.“That is a 56% reduction.”Thecrayfishseasonofficiallykicks

off tomorrow, but Ron Penninkhof,owner of Smart Fishing Charters,says there might as well not be a re-creational fishing season.He says half of the 26 days would

“most probably” be bad-weatherdays, resulting in no crayfish catch.Previously, Penninkhof said, hewould buy nets, diving suits andother crayfishing equipment beforeeach season, but he will not botherthis season. He estimates that hewill

losebetween30%and40%ofhis turn-overfornot takingclientsouttocatchcrayfish.Penninkhofsaysotherbusi-nesses will also be affected. JaapEngelbrecht, owner of SomersetSport, also expects losses. His shopusually sells more diving equipmentin season, but he now expects a dropin sales.Steele-Boe says many coastal

towns will suffer as fewer recreatio-nal fishermen will be visiting theirshores. He argues that the 35 000 re-creational fishermen with crayfishpermits support local tourism econo-mies and they should therefore be al-lowed a bigger TAC.“Recreational fishermen and the

public are only allowed 4%of the glo-bal TAC, while offshore commercialfishermen are given 60%, and small-scale fisheries 13%, with 23% alloca-ted to inshorecommercialventures.”

The annual Remembrance Day ceremony to honour those who havedied in service to their country was held on Sunday.

Wathet vanstads­ en streekbeplanninggeword?Bekommerde Inwoner se briefieinsake nuwe skole in die Helder-berg-kom verwys.

Die laaste ware stads- en streek-beplanning in die drie buurdorpeis professioneel toegepas in die ja-re ’70 en ’80 toe daar nog warestadsbeplanners aan die stuurwas. Dit was in die jare toe diebrandweer en polisie-stasie ver-groot is omdat die dorp vergroothet. Die nuwe generasie denke isskynbaar om erfbeplanning toe tepas en nie streekbeplanning. Ditblyk dat getalle en syfers nie meergebruik word vir die beplanningvan ’n al groterwordende stad nie.

Indiendieaantalwoonhuisevan“gated villages” soos Schonen-berg, DeVelde en al die ander teendie Sir Lowriespas-pad bymekaar-getelwordmagditdalksesduisendwooneenhede oorskry.

Dit neem nie veel versiendheidom te bepaal dat sesduisendwoon-eenhede maklik tienduisend kin-ders kan verteenwoordig nie.

Dit verteenwoordig nagenoeg

agt nuwe skole, want die huidigeskole is reeds vol.

Sesduisend woonhuise verteen-woordig nagenoeg vyf kerkperse-le, ’n nuwe polisie-stasie en ’n nu-we bykomende brandweer. Kykmaar hoe vêr is die brandweersta-sie vanaf Erinvale geleë.

Gaan kyk gerus of hierdie voor-gestelde skole en geriewe op mooidorp-kaarte aangetoon is. Is eenvan die tientalle ontwikkelaarsooit gedwing om by te dra tot dieoprigting van ’n enkele nuweskool?

De Velde asook die bestaandeomliggende wooneenhede bevatmeer as 800wooneenhede. Dit ver-teenwoordig maklik 1 000 nuwemotors in die omliggende strate.

By De Velde alleenlik kan dalk50 huishulpe per dag per taxi afge-lewer word. Is daar voorsieninggemaak vir die aflaai en optel vanhierdie huishulpe of gaan dietaxi’s eenvoudig net stilhou in DeBeers-laan?

Mooi kundig-gekleurde kaarte

en planne teen mure met sone-rings en bakens daarop aangetoonmaak nie deel uit van die departe-ment van onderwys se beplanningnie.

Moet die huidige skole eers uithullenatebarsvoordat iemanddievisie kry om eersmet die staatsde-partemente saam te werk voordatnuwe woon-areas lukraak byge-voeg word?

Omvoor te steldat ’nnuweskoolop die AECI-gronde opgerig wordbeteken dat die reeds-oorlaaideR44 nog meer oorlaai gaan word,soggens en in die middag.

Watter maatreëls moet ’n jongouerpaar tref om te verseker dathulle kinders plek gaan kry in eenvandiebestaandeskole?Gaanhul-le gedwing word om reeds by diegeboorte van die kind te begin be-taal aan ’n toelatingsfooi?

Stadsbeplanning is daar om or-de te skep, nie om ’n dood-smoorbeleid te volg nie.

Whenwill it be the turnofourpavements tobe tarred?

I see that Mountain Road’s pave-ments in Somerset West, wherevery few people use the pavement,are being tarred. What about thehundreds of pavements in areaslike Rusthof and BroadlandsPark?

In Broadlands Park, where onlyone car can drive in the street ata time, the other passing car mustwait, half stopping on the un-tarredpavement,which iscausingholes and dams ofwater inwinter.

These areas’ pavements are wa-terlogged in winter and peoplehave to walk in the street andavoid the cars in the street and onthe pavement. It must be experi-enced to be believed!

Tarred pavements will elimi-nate the weeds that are also overgrowing hundreds of other pave-ments.

Itwill alsohelpwithkeeping thedrains clean. Please beautify ourpavements also. Remember thereis a backlog, as very little has beendone about the pavements. After20 years all pavements shouldhave been tarred in the above-mentioned areas. Make a concer-ted effort to improve the environ-mentallyunpleasingareasand thecommunitywill also benefit great-ly.

G. WEHRSTRAND

CouncillorBrettHerron,May-oral CommitteeMember: Trans-port, City of Cape Town, re-sponds:The City thanks MrWehr for his

feedbackandassures residents thatwe assess needs across the city, andprioritise projects accordingly.

However, the budget for the buil-ding of pavements/side-walks islimited and the City therefore triestospreadthisacrossallof itswards.Additional fundingmaybeavail-

able via ward allocation funding.Councillors decide in which areasand on which projects they want tospend their funding allocation.Wardallocation funding is oftenal-located for the construction of side-walk in almost all of the wardswithin this district.About 400 m of side-walk was re-

cently constructed along PetuniaStreet inBroadlandsPark. Inaddi-tion a 200 m side-walk was con-structed along Mountain Road.We value residents’ input into the

needsof their communitiesand theyare encouraged to contact their lo-cal subcouncil for information onhow funding is allocated.

Cut in ‘kreef’timehitstourismThe decision by the Department ofAgriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(DAFF) to reduce the total allowablecatch of recreational crayfishing by56% will have many far-reachingconsequences.

With recreational fishermen nowonly allowed to catch crayfish for 26days in the season, many feel it isjust not worth buying a crayfishinglicence.

Coastal towns likeRooiEls,Pring-le Bay and Betty’s Bay will suffereconomically as fewer crayfisher-menwill visit their towns and spendmoney on bait, petrol and other sup-plies.

Sport and tackle shopswill also behard hit as fewer people will buycrayfish nets, rope, bait and divinggear. Charter fishing companies al-so stand tomake lessmoney this sea-son as fewer people buy licences.The season for 2013–14 opens onFri-day 15 November.

Gladde teëlsglolaterniemeer risikoNee kyk, ek is nou sommer baie kwaad.Ek besoek gereeld die Dorpsmeent-sen-trum en toe ek sien hulle is besig omdaardie gladde porselein teëls in te sit,het ek geweet hier kom moeilikheid.

Toevalligwas die kontrakteurwat dieinstallasie doen in die omgewing en hetek dit my plig geag om dit met hom tebespreek.Ekhetbaiebeleefdomversko-ning gevra dat ek hulle gesprek onder-breeken toeditaanhullegesteldatdaar-die teëls die oorsaak gaanwees datmen-se beseer sal word omdat dit te glad is.

Ekhetselfsaanhomgenoemdatanderwinkelsentrumsdieselfdeprobleemmetdie teëls ondervind het. Ek het dit ookbeklemtoon dat dit veral bejaardes iswat die sentrum besoek en dat dit juishulle is wat die risiko loop om beseerte raak.

Sy antwoord aan my was dat dit netnou glad iswant daarwordbaie stof ver-oorsaak deur die bouery en dat dit nielater ’n risiko sal wees nie. Wat my ookopgeval het is dat daar nêrens waarsku-wingstekens aangebring is wat die pub-liek waarsku dat daar konstruksie aandie gang is nie.

The value of finance adviceTherecentwhitepaperonretire-mentreformhaspromptedmanyfinancial advisors to try andqualify or quantify their valueproposition in order to substan-tiate their fees.

However, financialadvice is not a simplecommodity which canbe compared, priced orsubstituted. Financialadvisors are paid fortaking decisions on be-half of their clients andthis is serious busi-ness; other than yourhealth there is nothingmore personal or im-portant than your fi-nancial wellbeing.The problem for fi-

nancial advisors is thatthey operate in an environment,which is unpredictable, irrationaland volatile from two dimensions.I amreferring toMr.Client andMr.

Market. It is no coincidence thatMr. Client andMr.Market are bothunpredictable and irrational sinceMr. Market represents the collec-tive action and behaviour of all the

clients put together.The problem for the fi-nancial advisor is Mr.Client wants to be partof the group. This is re-ferred to as herd men-tality, individual inves-tors would prefer to bewrong with everyoneelse than risk beingwrong by themselvesand this is only one ofthe many behaviouralfinance errors, whichhuman beings areprone to when it comesto investing their ownmoney.

As decision makers financial ad-visors face the daunting prospect ofdealing with hindsight bias. Hind-sight bias refers to looking back in-

to the past to understand and ex-plain the outcome of a decision.Hindsight is a perfect science, onceyou know the outcome the decisionto arrive at that outcome seems ob-vious. Investorswill lookbackafterthe fact and hold financial advisorsaccountable forapoordecision, for-getting that the future was un-known when the decision was tak-en. Italwaysseemssoobviouswhenone looks back. In the same vain in-vestors will fail to reward or ac-knowledge a good decision as hind-sight makes it look obvious.I sometimes get approached by

youngsters thinking of a career infinancial planning and I usuallyendupaskingthemiftheyhavecon-sidered becoming a lion tamer in-stead, much less hazardous!

of the AATComposites team since 1987 andwas involved in the company’s founding.It was his own, personal decision to leave

the company.“Aftermore than 25 years in this exciting

industry, I now look forward to a complete-ly new challenge,” he said.“By appointing Friehmelt as the new

managing director, I am confident that wehave foundan ideally suited successor,” re-marks the 53-year-old.Under van der Westhuizen’s leadership

the company’s turnover has steadily risenfrom R50 million in 2004 to an estimatedR260 million this year.“Friehmelt brings with him all of the

qualities and skills necessary to ensurethe company continues to develop suc-cessfully,” says van der Westhuizen.“He is intimately familiar with the po-

tential growthareas of our core business.”Friehmelt will be joining AAT Compos-

ites as a recognised aviation expert anda specialist in the field of lightweight de-sign.He is currently the director of engineer-

ing at Recaro Aircraft Seating Americas,which has been ATT Composites’ mainsupplier since 2004.Founded in 1983 as Aerodyne Technolo-

gy in Strand, the company’s earliest prod-ucts included composite-material bicy-cles, satellite dishes and boats.In 1998, Aerodyne Technology was di-

vided into four companies.Among them was AAT Composites (ini-

tially Aerodyne Aviation Technology)who began specialising in the manufac-ture of compositematerials for aircraft in-teriors.AAT Composites currently employs

Good team spirit goes a longwayI know that I work at Beaumont and coachthe u.13 A cricket team so a little bit of biasis creeping into this week’s article.I would however like to congratulate the

Beaumont Primary School’s u.13 A cricketteam for finishing the season unbeaten intheir league fixtures. It’sa fantasticachieve-ment and the boys have not only shown tal-ent, but have also great character through-out the year. There have been a number ofclose games this year and team spirit andcharacter have shone through in thosegames. The competition between schoolshas beenvery tough this year and the stand-ard of cricket very impressive.The season came to an end on Monday

with the annual interschools cricket matchbetween Beaumont and De Hoop.It was a close game between arguably the

top two sides in the Helderberg.Beaumont scored 146/7 in their 30 overs

with De Hoop replying with 132/9. Beau-mont won the game by 14 runs.Jason Thomas (4 wickets for 11 runs) and

Juan Burger (36 runs and 3 wickets for 27runs) were the stand out players for Beau-montwithDeHoop’s captainRudiClaasenskeeping his side in the match with his wellconstructed 72*.TheBeaumontboysalsowenton tourear-

ly in October where they beat some of the

top sides in Bloemfontein.Thattourwasinvaluablefromateamspir-

itbuildingperspectiveandtheboyshavedef-initely improved their game since then.This is something that many teams can

benefit from.Atour,orpre-seasoncampcango a long way in building good team spirit.More often than not, it is the team with

good teamspirit that comes through in tightmatchesandseasons.I’msurethatthecrick-eters at the Helderberg Cricket Club willagree that team spirit was vital to them inwinning two league titles in succession.There have been somemixed fortunes for

our senior clubs at the start of the WPCAtwo day league. Hottentots Holland startedoff with a goodwin, while Helderberg, Som-erset West and Macassar lost their firstround games. Somerset West howeverbounced back with a good win in their sec-ond game. This period before theChristmasbreak is a vital one, with all clubs wantingto pick up a win or two to put them in goodstead for the start of the sec-ond half of the season. Goodluck to all our cricketers.

Castle leads Helderbergtoanother impressivewinHelderberg won their match againstStrandfontein on Saturday by 10 wickets.

Strandfontein resumed their inningson6/2still 29 runs shy of Helderberg’s first inningstotal. After losing at regular intervals, theywere all out for 100. Vernon Davids made thefirst breakthrough claiming the wicket of thenight watchman.

But it was once again the steadfast bowlingof Vincent Castle who was Strandfontein’sdownfall. He bowled a remarkable 23 overs onthe trot and took four wickets for 21 runs.Davids and Lian Jacobs took two wickets

a piece to wrap up the Strandfontein innings.This left Helderberg with 65 runs to win

whichopenersGrantMoss (35*)andGary-JonSylvester (29*) reached with ease.On Sunday, Helderberg lost their away

against Somerset West Cricket Club’s secondteam by an innings and 113 runs.Helderberg’s fourth team won their match

against Wynberg by 150 runs.Helderberg batted first and openers Garth

Hurling (71) and Jonty Vaaltyn (17) got themoff to a good start.Then Evan van Boom, with a quickfire 51

and Arthur Maritz (27) helped take the scoreto194/7 in theallotted35overs.Wynbergwerebowled out for 44 in 21.2 overs.The best bowlers were: Evan van Boom 5-2-

BASEBALL: TEAMWORKWINS THE DAY

Piratesget theirmojobackAfter an unexpected loss in theirprevious game, Helderberg Pi-rates’ first team got back to theirwinning ways when they camefrom behind to beat Kenfac Phil-lies at Radloff Park on Saturday.

Both teams got off to a slow startwith Kenfac just managing to edgeahead by two runs to nil early in thegame.After that, Kenfac Phillies strug-gled to put further runs on the boardas they were kept subdued by the ef-fective pitching combination of Pi-rates pitchers Brad de Waal, ChrisLambert and Ridge Armstrong.Like true Pirates, the home teamweathered the rough start and withsome vital hits coming from battersJamie Grey, Alex McConnach andIanMatthews in the fifth frame,wereable to tie the scores.The late,butwelcomearrival of vet-eran Pirates player Jared Uys andsomewisewords fromstand-in coachGarth Coetzee seemed to spur thehome team on.They then gained momentum andbatted themselves to a comfortablefinish, winning the game by nineruns to five at the top of the ninthframe.Pirates would like to thank last-minute umpire Derek Lambert andscorer Tammy Herselman.All the other Pirates teams foughthard in their games, with wins re-corded by the u.14 A’s who won 10-8,theu.12’swhowon16-15 andtheu.10’swho won 7-0.The u.14 B’s were unlucky to loseto Westridge by 15-13 while the sen-iors second side lost 13-6 to Kenfac.All the Pirates teams will be in ac-tionatRadloff Park thisweekendandlookforwardtothesamesupport theyreceived last weekend.
