The landmark Choo Choo Park in Belve-dereRoad is lookingbrighter thanever,thanks to some special friends.

Last year some residents in the area no-ticed that the famous “Choo Choo” in thepark was looking a bit run down and rustedand formed the Friends of Choo Choo Park.Ryan Matthews from the group says they

formed the organisation with a view toworking alongside City Parks to improvethe look and feel of the park.“One of the first projects we undertook

was the refurbishment of the Choo Choo

which was looking quite sad,” he says.“The locomotive received a thorough

paint strip with sandblasting, was primedand overcoated with industrial qualitypaint.“Not only does it look better but it should

preserve the life of the train for longer thanif left exposed to the elements.”This project was carried out with help

from ProPaint, with the paint donated byStoncor, and generous donations from Bel-vedere Squaremanagement andCol’cacchioin Belvedere Square.“For a while we also had the benefit of a

gardener from Fundi, sponsored by Re-maxto tidy up the beds. Ward councillor Matt-

hew Kempthorne has also met with us,where we discussed our thoughts for thepark,” he says.“From his ward allocation he sponsored

the installation of rubber mat surfaces be-neath the merry-go-round and joy wheel.”Matthews also explained that City Parks

RyanMorris’ ringing phone interrupts hismeeting, but even before he answers, he

knows it’s someone phoning to report a sus-picious person or activity.Its par for the course as last year’s volun-

teer Auxiliary Law Enforcement officer ofthe year.Morris, a member of TBK Watch in Tam-

boerskloof, joined the reservist team thatsupplements the City of Cape Town’s law en-forcement officers in 2013.The City of Cape Town’s Auxiliary Law

Enforcement Service, a first in SouthAfrica,allows for members of the public to registeras volunteers to perform and assist with lawenforcement duties. The officers receivetraining at the Metro Police College in theCriminal Procedure Act and other compo-nents applicable to their duties.The Auxiliary Law Enforcement officers

dealwith a range of incidents,Mor-ris says, tackling everything fromvagrancy, theft, car break-ins andresponding to calls from the neigh-bourhood watch and police.They have the power to arrest, to

carry out stop and searches, aswellas confiscate stolen goods or goodsbeing traded without a permit.Although themain focus is on en-

forcingbylaws, the officers are alsoobligated to deal with any seriousoffence, including theft and publicfighting.Often law enforcement and so-

cial issues gohand-in-hand,Morrissays, and sometimes it is the bestoption to take a softer approach.For instance, Morris has worked

on incidents where homeless peo-ple have been assisted into shelters

and work programmes instead of being ar-rested.“If I can justifiably prevent an arrest, I

will. Sometimes it’s better to bring the fam-ily in than to arrest someone,” he says.“There is more pleasure in helping themthan in arresting them.”Morris works full-time as an intermedi-

ate paramedic, while completing an aver-age of 16 hours of volunteer Law Enforce-ment work a month.He always takes his medical equipment

with him on patrol, and has provided firstresponder care while waiting for an ambu-lance in cases of stabbing and car crashes.When questioned about the number of

hours he puts in between his full-time posi-tion and his Law Enforcement patrols,Morris shrugs it off. “I don’t like sittingaround doing nothing. I got it from mymom. She’s always been one for working.”Morris’ childhood shaped not only his

work ethic, but also his love for crime fight-

ing. “We used to belong to the ‘Cape TownCrime Club’ – we often had break-ins andcrime incidents. The police knew my parentsby name. Because I was affected, I wanted todo something. I remember how one day oneof the cops gave me a docket and told me to‘practice on it for now’,” he says.His ‘crime fighting career’ started when he

was 13, when he would join “local securityguys” onpatrol onhis bicycle. Theneighbour-hood watch was formed when he was 16, andat 18 he had joined as a member.“The community needs to help the police.

If you don’t report crimes, they won’t knowabout them. You must get involved. If youdon’t want to help yourself, you really can’t

complain about things,” he says.As all the auxiliary officers are members

of their local neighbourhood watches, theposition allows them to use their policingpowers to better protect their communities.“The extra powers allow you to deal with

things yourself. It gives you the ability to po-lice your own street,” he says.V Applicants who wish to join the volunteer servicemust be over 18, mentally and physically fit, have nocriminal record and must have a valid driver’s licence.If they comply with the above, candidates can applyvia their neighbourhood watch, who will submit appli-cations to the City’s Law Enforcement Department.Once applications are verified, applicants are invitedto a preliminary diagnostic assessment.

The power to protect your streets

RED CROSS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Gift of hearing for TyroneGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

When 7-year-old Tyrone Siljeur fromBonteheuwel got a crayon stuck in his

ear earlier thismonth, his parentswent intoa bit of a panic, but help was at hand.They took him to a private doctor, but

there was still a small piece lodged in hisear so he was referred to Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital.Thanks to some generous sponsorship

from Woolworths and MySchool, Tyronewill undergo a small procedure under an-aesthetic to have the crayon removed.Those who were part of theMySchool ini-

tiative with their Christmas shopping lastyear, all played their part in the donationof R400 000 that was handed to Children’sHospital Trust, the fund-raising arm of RedCross, last week.The donation has been used by the trust

to purchase specialist ear, nose and throat(ENT) equipment that will enable the hospi-tal each year to help save the lives of chil-dren with life-threatening ear disease andprevent hearing loss in 750 children.Tyrone’s mom, Marlene, and dad, Mor-

nay, were very happy that their son was fi-nally going to have a clear ear canal onceagain.“We are so grateful to the Red Cross Chil-

dren’s Hospital, MySchool and Woolworthsfor the equipment that allows for thesetypes of operations,” said Mornay.“I don’t know what we would have done

otherwise and I know that Tyrone is in verygoodhands.When Iwas young I came toRedCross and I know how excellent the staffare.”The Woolworths Christmas Giving cam-

paign was supported by international mu-sic sensation Pharrel Williams, and fundswere raised as a special additional donation

every time a customer swipes their My-School MyVillage MyPlanet and theirlinked Woolworths cards.“Woolworths and MySchool are such val-

ued supporters of the Children’s HospitalTrust and the Red Cross Children’s Hospi-tal,” says Louise Driver, CEO of the Chil-

dren’s Hospital Trust,“As benefactors of their annual Christ-

mas Campaign, the trust has have been ableto purchase much-needed ENT equipmentto perform life-changing operations and in-terventions on children who suffer from se-vere ear disease.”

Tyrone Siljeur celebrates the donation that rid him of a piece of crayon in his ear with a littlehelp from Louise Driver, CEO of the Children’s Hospital Trust, with his parents Marlene andMornay. PHOTO: GARY VAN DYK

@EarlHaupt

The 2016 edition of the Slave Route Chal-lenge attracted about 9000 runners – each

running in honour of a a slave whose namehas been recorded on a Column of Remem-brance at the Iziko Slave Lodge – to thestreets of Cape Town on Sunday 8 May.

The route passed various landmarks inthe city linked to slave heritage, includingthe Castle of Good Hope, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Iziko Slave Lodgeand the Slave Tree Plague.

Runners on the 10 and 21km routes alsohad to make their way up the renowned“Koesister Hill” in Penz Street. Upon sum-mitting the hill, each runner was offered atraditional Cape Malay koesister.

Riding the wavesto the podiumHoutBay localTanikaHoffmanandJoa-

quin Del Castillo from Peru clinchedthe women’s and men’s titles respec-

tively in the inaugural Cape Town Pro pre-sented by Quiksilver at Big Bay, Blouberg-strand on Sunday.The first World Surf League (WSL) Quali-

fying Series QS1000 rated events held inCape Town for six years for men and since1992 for women, the Cape Town Pro present-ed competitors with the opportunity to earnpoints on both the QS and WSL Africa re-gional rankings, along with prize- purses ofR30 000 for men and R20 000 for women.Hoffman emerged triumphant in the see-

saw women’s final in which she and FayeZoetmulder (Port Elizabeth) both deliveredscores in the excellent range, taking the leadwith an 8.83 that left Zoetmulder needing an8.60 for victory. “To be awinner inmy hometown is just great! I haven’t won an eventin so long and to win a WSL event and earnsome points here is really an honour and soexciting,” says Hoffman. “It was a very wellsurfed final. Faye had a couple of really goodwaves while I played the patience game.Then I found a great little runner that letmedo a couple of turns and gave me an eight,and Faye didn’t find another good wave.”Zoetmulder, who like Hoffman has com-

peted extensively on the QS circuit over-seas, was proud of the standard of women’ssurfing at an event in home surf. “It was areally good final with Tanika, we threwsome good scores down. The waves werepretty tricky and it was challenging so toboth be getting scores in the excellent rangewas really good,” says Zoetmulder. “I usedto surf the QS overseas and to have twoevents at home now and not have to travelis amazing. The girls are all competing, weare getting more entries and I’m stoked forthe all the sponsors to be getting involved.”Hoffman pocketed R8000 and 1000 points

for her victory with Zoetmulder collecting

R4000 and 750 points. Nikita Robb (East Lon-don) andTarrynChudleigh (Kommetjie) fin-ished equal third after losing to Hoffmanand Zoetmulder in their respective semi-fi-nal encounters. Del Castillo led the highscoring final against Dylan Lightfoot (Jef-frey’s Bay) from the outset, weaving hiswaythrough the tricky one metre high tidewaves and finishing his rides with flair onthe sand. The 20-year-old from Punta Her-mosa, just South of Lima, posted rides of 7.33and an excellent 8.67 which Lightfoot couldnot match, despite earning a pair of sevens.“Thiswin is formy family, formy country

and for Punta Hermosa where I live,” saysan ecstatic Del Castillo, who was cheeredfrom the edge of the water to the podium bya pair of local surfers in a heart-warmingdisplay of sportsmanship.The victory earned Castillo R12 000 and

1000 points thatwill see him jumpnearly 100positions up the QS rankings from his rank-ing of 167th coming into the event.Lightfoot, ranked 96th before the Cape

Town Pro, was satisfied with his runner-upfinish and the 750 points that will see himrise nearly 40 places on the leader board, butwas frustrated at coming so close to a firstQS win. “I was just out of rhythm with thewaves in the final. Joaquin got that eightwhich was a turning point in the heat andhe was in much better rhythm.”Del Castillo defeated top seed Beyrick de

Vries (uMhlanga) and Lightfoot defeatedMichael February (Kommetjie) in their re-spective semi-final match-ups. De Vries andFebruary finished equal third overall withR3 000 and 560 points each.The final day of the event started in glassy

one metre waves, but a thick mist bank thatrolled in after the semi-finals put the eventon hold for more than three hours before itwas completed in brilliant sunshine andwindless conditions.Full results at WorldSurfLeague.com
