Painting from within,

MAyA LLoyd

Guy Earl Stander is a self-taught artist who approaches his canvasses without precon-ceived ideas, instead, he says, he lets the can-

vas speak to him through a non-cognitive process. His art offers a symbolic language rendered from painting from within.

“I have had three relatively successful exhibitions and one large commission from the FNB Training Centre where I submit-ted four works inspired by the learning cycle – Experience, Re-flection, Conceptualization and Experimentation,” Guy said.

Guy is now resident in Kenton on Sea and collaborating with his mom, Di Churnside, in their fam-ily enterprise, Beads for Africa, where he also has a little studio.

Guy’s feel for texture and design as well as his sig-nature style is reflected in both his beadwork cre-ations and the art he produces in acrylic ink and acrylic and oils. “This is an exciting time in my life, art-wise, I am never short of images to bring to the

canvas,” Guy added.In collaboration with a friend

guy also runs a company, Chem-istry, which creates works based on an initial design but where the stains and inks once put on an enamel base reacts chemi-cally thus yielding vibrant im-ages. In future Guy hopes to of-fer creative classes to children incorporating the chemistry, design, texture, and beadwork elements.

Local hikers enjoy Mansfield Reserve rambleCAthy Abbot

Seven hikers were welcomed by Lida at Mans-field Game Reserve Reception, each receiving a pamphlet detailing the animals we could encounter during our walk, last Friday morn-ing. We set off along the well marked trail in fairly open country, over the hill and down to the river. The weather was perfect - no wind and sunshine.

The birders among us spotted many birds, the most spectacular being a metalic blue kingfisher. We also saw a Cape Greysbok on the other side if the river. Walking along the bank as the river babbled along was a treat. The trail took us to the picnic sites at Black Rock where we stopped for breakfast.

After breakfast we headed up the hill to-wards Reception via the bird hide. It was there that Gambit, the giraffe, joined us. He came down to the bank opposite the bird hide. What a treat to watch him browsing and scratching his neck so close up. After we left the hide, he followed us for a little way. Along the way we watched a baby giraffe and the ze-bras running around. All too soon we arrived back at Reception.

What an ideal way to spend a Friday morn-ing! If you are interested in joining future ram-bles contact Cathy Abbott on [email protected] for enquiries 083 399 2926. The hiking group get together every 2nd week from about the beginning of February through to the end of November.

Gambit the giraffe joined local hikers for breakfast during their recent outing to Mansfield Game Reserve.

BEv YOuNG

Some things need saying. Some people need telling. Some points need making.

Some lines need drawing. And others don't. It is often very tempting to get yourself in-volved in a battle that you don't really need to fight, except if you have to save your business. Yet, you only have a limited amount of energy. If you direct it towards your most important objec-tive, you can really bring about a lasting difference in an area of life that is essential to you. Thinking about this, if we are in tourism, then surely foremost on our minds is to better our es-tablishments and our marketing strategies?

The year is no longer a strang-er - we are almost at the end of August. The region is deathly

quiet and the moans are reach-ing a crescendo stage, more like a “stage whisper” than a scream, and I’m sure that too will follow shortly, about the lack of busi-ness at present. There is a magic here in the Kowie, it’s an amaz-ing place, and you simply have to apply your imagination and then set goals. We have to make a living and we need to tackle matters before disaster strikes.

An example if you will, many years ago, a very successful bed and breakfast establishment used to close their doors in July and re-open at the end of August. During this time, they re-paint-ed, re-polished, changed rooms around, altered the gardens and then went on their annual holiday. They had an answering machine to take calls, and this

arrangement never offended anyone. It was ill-health that years later rendered their business redundant. The next owners decided not to follow their example, forfeiting the much needed lick of annual paint and rest period for pro-prietors working with the public, and so the establishment, closed a few years later.

The successful aforementioned couple never used stag-nant rules for marketing, and ensured that they included all the services and the attractions available in the area as part of their establishment’s enticement. Other than Tuishuise in Cradock, under the thumb of the amazing Sandra Antrobus, few establishments come close to the success of tourism as it should be approached in terms of guaranteeing sustain-able business models. Sandra and her daughter, Cherie, can

turn any national celebration into a reason for booking in for a few days and they never stop marketing. They have never relied on the local tourism office, asked anyone to represent them at shows, and they even take quick trips around the country to look for opportunities that will enhance their business.

One has to ask oneself therefore, when last have I looked at my business and detected flaws? The lack of clients if one is honest is not due to ‘the state of the na-tion’s fiscal woes’ but rather due to a lack of productiv-ity by the proprietors.

There is an adage in successful marketing that goes, “eat your own food as a stranger, sleep in all your beds and see if you want to stay there”. The ‘wagging finger’ goes on. How many establishments can truly claim to have tried out every, and I mean every attraction in this region? Tourism is not for sissies, you have to work at it constantly. Tourism is the core of our existence here, on the Sunshine Coast and to a large degree in South Africa, and we need to offer folks good reasons to come here.

A lovely, interesting pa-per. I enjoyed the arti-cle “Explore a magical

world”. Good to let people talk about their hobbies and interests and share this in the paper for others to read, and the lovely recipe for Mexican Corn Bread. There are so many true stories, ideas, reci-pes, tales in the world that can be written on, so my well

wishes to Sunshine Escape on this paper. Keep it inter-esting. The history of Kowie is also worth writing about. Photographs of our country with the story related is also another avenue worth ex-ploring - it is such an inter-esting world we live in, see how well Shoreline on TV has been done. Lorna Els

Well wishes to Sunshine Escape

by GINA FLoreNCe

Smuts Butchery is a loyal sup-porter of the local charity ini-tiative, the Engela Neethling Kowie Boerewors Champion-ships. As winners of the In-dependent Category in 2010, these experienced butchers have opted to compete in the Retail and Franchise Section in this year’s competition on the 24th September 2013. The purpose of the competition is to determine in the spirit of fun and philanthropy, who makes the best boerewors in the Eastern Cape.

A relatively recent sight in the Beaver’s Complex on Southwell Road, Smuts Butch-ery, opened in September

2012. Smuts’s small staff of dedicated employees has been catering well for the bus-tling trade. Owner, Hermanus Smuts, puts the good response

down to the exceptional qual-ity of the meat, the special blend of spices used, and the traditional old family recipe he uses in its preparation. “The

boerewors we will be supply-ing at the contest is exactly the same as you would get over the counter, every day,” Smuts added.

Smuts spent his youth in the livestock industry, growing up on a farm in Alexandria. He believes this is where he learnt the old methods of preparing meat, and decided to turn his acumen into a sideline busi-ness in 1988. Today he finds his experience rewarding, as he brings a fresh perspective on flavours and competitive prices to Port Alfred. When asked his final thoughts on the contest, he jovially replied, “May the best man win- and I hope it’s me!”

Garden of Eden

JOY, delight, and glee, sheer fun cheers the heart and brings a mea-sure of peace, especially when you garden either yourself, or you live surrounded by a beautiful garden”, explains Eaden Young, who owns the Garden of Eaden in Port Alfred,.

“Gardens and gardening are something of a passion for many, though granted some people would rather run a mile rather than tend a garden. Even if gardens are becoming smaller than they used to be, people still seem to want to create a little bit of paradise for themselves”.

Eaden has the belief that, gardening fulfils a human need to be in touch with nature. “The idea of a sanctuary, a place of beauty, where we can be at peace appears in all cultures. Creating and tending a garden seems to fulfil a longing for paradise on earth, as a place to

which to retreat from the bustle of the world and lose oneself in contemplation. It is perhaps no coincidence that the Persian word for a garden is ‘pairidaeza’ from which the English word ‘paradise’ derives”, Eaden said.

“In addition, to quote an old aphorism, ‘Paradise is nearer to you than the thongs of your sandals’. All it requires is being out in the fresh air, working with the soil and plants (even if only on a balcony in pots or in a pocket-handkerchief of a garden by the back door) sowing seed, watching life emerge, weeding, pruning, harvesting, clearing. When we are dedicated and put in the effort, we lose ourselves in the activity, and seem to transcend time itself and taste eternity”, he added.

“For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for gardens, from early childhood, when I was eager to help my mother in our garden in East London. I have al-ways wanted to convey the joy of gardening through the seasons and to inspire reflection on the process of birth, bloom, decay, and regeneration in nature. Call me, I love to chat gardens, and really, one needs so little to create joy”, Eaden concluded.

The Shade Factor (previously known as The Brother in Law)

MANY satisfied customers in Port Alfred and the sur-rounding areas have used the services of The Shade fac-tor and been delighted with the results. The company, previously known as ‘The Brother in Law’ was owned by Sandy Finlayson and her partner Terry Dibben. They started the business in 2003, specializing in awnings, blinds and carports. The couple worked hard and ser-viced their clients well, resulting in repeat business over the years. A few years ago, they were delighted to be joined by Murray Booysen who handled most of the installations. Murray has a history in the building industry and has very capably handled the teams and installations for The Bother in Law. Since Terry’s death, Murray and Sandy have continued to run the business and together with a team of experienced workers that assist with the installations they guarantee satisfaction. Attention to detail and client service are still the motto of the remaining two of the trio. So never fear, The Shade Factor is here! For quotes and enquiries you can contact Sandy or Murray on the numbers in the advertisement.

Raincatchers Water Harvesting

IT’S Spring and time to service our water tanks prior to the heavy rains. Fortunately we have an experienced company in town Raincatchers Water Harvesting (Pty) Ltd that specializes in the installation, repair and servic-ing of water harvesting tanks.

Warren Steenkamp, the hands on owner of the com-pany, spent four years in Scotland running a turnkey operation for the Scottish water authorities. His wife, Leonie, works with him and they have a competent team of assistants to ensure that that your tanks get the best service possible.

To be on the safe side, one’s tanks should regularly be cleaned and pumps, filters and connections checked and serviced the same as was one would do with any other machinery. Of course, the fact that we consume the water from the tanks makes it even more important that we treat the tanks with the life giving respect they deserve.

This charming and experienced technician is able to pump out 5000 litres from your tank, purify the water, clean and service the tank and then pump the water back in at a very reasonable cost. They also supply and install mesh reservoirs for up to 170,000 liters as well as earth damns to the capacity of your requirements.

To view work done by Warren, you can log on to the Raincatchers facebook page. They are the only company in our area that services and repairs water tanks, so to book your tanks in for service contact Warren 076 3156246 or Leonie 079 309 2713.

Woodbine Nursery

SPRING is here and a visit to Woodbine Nursery, owned by John and Becky Holford, is a must – the tranquility of this nursery is balm to the soul, and you can be sure to find just what you need for that empty little corner, whether it’s indoors or outside in the garden! Don’t forget Arbor week is the first week of September, so please plant a tree. Trees of the year for 2013 are; Vir-gilia Oroboides (Blossom Tree, Keurboom), Grewia Oc-cidentalis (Cross-Berry, Kruisbessie) and Barringtonia Racemosa (Powder-puff Tree, Poeierkwas-boom)

It’s time to start working in preparation for summer and spring again. Start by fertilizing plants showing new growth, using a general fertilizer such as 2:3:2 or a good organic feed. With new growth in the garden there’ll be more pests to watch out for and more weeds too. Start a feeding programme for your lawn in preparation for the summer heat. Try propagating some of your own plants. It’s a challenge which, with success, gives you a tremen-dous sense of satisfaction as well as a feeling of wonder at the miracles of nature. Sow seeds in situ or into seed trays. Grow from cuttings using hormone powder and plant in bags or any container with good drainage. Add river sand to soil mix to encourage root production.

In flower this month: pansies, violas, stocks, bulbinel-las, gerberas, chinese jasmine, arum lillies, raphiolepis, clivias, tea Bushes and westringeas. Plant vegetable seeds for peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, radishes and carrots. Plant herb seeds for basil, rocket and parsley. Annual seeds to be planted are, cosmos, asters, phlox, al-yssum, california poppy, gypsophila, larkspur, marigold, portulaca and zinnias.

The Clean Team

THE Clean Team is owned by Jenny de Vos, who togeth-er with a team of ladies cleans your home and garden when you can’t manage to do it yourself. They do win-dows, carpets, couches and upholstery as well as the

Cherrywood Nursery

GAYLE Terblanche, new owner of Cherrywood Nursery in Kenton on Sea, has stocked up for Spring. The lovely nursery in the tranquil setting just outside Kenton on the Grahamstown road, specialises in indigenous and exotic shrubs, trees and seedlings and offers a wide range of plants that grow in our coastal area, including numerous out of the ordinary plants, such as the Heir-loom Seedlings that they will be offering soon.

With Spring on our doorstep why not select one their varieties of flowering trees, which attract birds and but-terflies to your garden while offering wind protection, in celebration of Arbour day. The wide and healthy range of herbs and vegetable seedlings are always tempting as are the indigenous rosemary, sages, buchu and the many hardy ground covers on offer.

“If we don’t have what you are looking for we will do our best to find it,” Gayle said. The nursery is open daily from 08:30-13:00 and 14:00 to 16:30 during the week

and on a Saturday from 08:30-13:00.Heirloom seeds are handed down from one genera-

tion. While all heirloom or heritage seeds have been openly pollinated not all openly pollinated seeds are heirlooms. Many of these heirloom seed have not been on the general market for years - as they have simply been handed down through private exchange and not cultivated by commercial plant breeders – and this means that in heirloom seeds and seedlings you will find an astonishing range of vegetables and plants un-like any you have seen on the market or see in your gro-cery store daily. A few individuals worldwide recognised the need to create seed banks to preserve the variety of plants that offer us food.

All good and well but as we are not all dab-hands at cultivating plants from seeds, Gayle and her team are patiently nursing the first batches of heirloom seeds in preparation for your gardening pleasure.

What is incontinence?

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine and/or bowel move-ment at an inappropriate time or in an inappropriate place. The amount can vary from very little, to a copious amount. Incontinence is not a dis-ease but could be a symptom of an underlying illness. There are many types of incontinence, of which the most common are:

Stress Incontinence - People with Stress incontinence involuntary leak urine while exercising, coughing, sneezing, laughing or lifting. This causes weakness of the muscles that keep the bladder shut and of-ten happens after child birth or the change of life. In men, it happens after a prostrate operation. Some prescribed medication, a persistent cough or being overweight can make stress leakage worse.

Treatment - There are various methods to treat incontinence. The

one method is by doing special ex-ercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. A physio-therapist can teach you how to do these exercises. You may have to practice them every day for a few months.

Urge Incontinence - A frequent, sudden urge to urinate, along with little control of the bladder is known as urge incontinence. This condition is also known as a spastic or overac-tive bladder. Some medicines and drinks (tea, coffee, alcohol) may make the kidneys produce more urine causing leakage.

Treatment - Cut down on Coffee, tea and alcohol. Practise the exer-cises that the doctor or physio-ther-apist gives you, which will assist you to regain control over your bladder.

Overflow Leakage – The bladder doesn’t empty completely, leading to frequent urination or dribbling. People with overflow incontinence cannot completely empty their blad-ders. A constantly full bladder trig-

AdVertorIAL

Conni ‘s advice on incontinence

gers frequent urination or dribbling of urine. This type of incontinence is often caused by nerve damage to the bladder muscles or in men, an enlarged prostrate.

Treatment - The doctor will most likely want to do tests to establish the exact cause. You may be taught how to empty your bladder com-pletely.

Bedwetting - Is defined as noctur-nal enuresis (urinating during sleep) in healthy children beyond the age of 5-6 years. It is often an inherited disorder with a delay in neurological control of the bladder. During this time you want to be sure that your child is dry while asleep.

Those of us who remember the reliable old Ford Transit Panel Van from many decades ago, will be blown away by Ford’s brand new innovation, the Ford Transit Custom. Visually attractive, with loading space for Africa, a carrying ca-pacity of 1.3 metric tons and a towing capacity of 1.8 metric tons - what more can a business ask for? The rear doors are designed to open up at 90 degrees or unhitch to swing around completely, and

a slid-ing door can assist with loading goods from the side. The short wheel base can take articles up to three metres long, while the long wheel base can ac-commodate articles even longer.

Driving the Ford Transit Custom is an absolute pleasure.The seating is com-fortable with plenty of interior space and it is offers accessories one would not usually expect to find in a commer-cial vehicle - such as an airconditioner,

air bags, speed control, brake as-sist, park assist as well as other

benefits. The drive train is a 1600cc (turbo charged) diesel engine combined with a six speed gear-box, which could mean that fuel economy is the manufacturer’s main objective here. My recommendation

to anyone in the market for such a vehicle is thus:

test drive the Ford Transit Custom. You won’t be disap-

pointed. Anyone interested in learning more

about this vehicle is welcome to contact Rob Avis from East Cape Ford.

Motoring tip for the week: The heart of your vehicle is its battery.Check or have it checked regularly. Once a month should be adequate.Cheers, Erich.

Warwick Heny is the Kowie Surfing KingJArryd PAULS

WHEN Warwick Heny began surfing 28 years ago, few would have imagined that he would enjoy as much success in the sport as he has. Today, War-wick is something of a local surfing phenomenon, and only a deeper look into his journey gives a fair reflection of just how great his accomplishments are.

Warwick took up surfing simply because his old-er brother and his friends had taken an interest in it. Growing up near the ocean, Heny says that he was “hooked from the start”.

In 1992, 7 years after riding his first wave, War-wick was selected for the South African chools team and later that year toured Brazil, winning two “unofficial” events between the Brazilian and South African teams. Since then he has been an Eastern Province men’s champion, placed 2nd in the Master’s division at the South African Nationals and has won the local King of the Kowie competi-tion a remarkable five times, with his most recent victory coming in March this year. He has also gone head to head with some of South Africa’s biggest names, such as Greg Emslie, Wayne Monk and Sean Holmes.

Warwick has surfed in numerous places around the world, notably Indonesia, New Zealand, Austra-lia and Jeffrey’s Bay, which he describes as having the best waves in the country on a good day. How-ever, East Beach in Port Alfred is where he most enjoys his surfing. His dedication to local surfing is

shown by the fact that he has been secretary of the Kowie Boardriders Club for a number of years.

Regarding advice to young surfers who are start-ing out, Warwick suggests “you need to learn how to swim well, not only in the pool, but also in the sea. Spend some time body boarding for a year or so to understand how currents and swells work. It is important to surf at different beaches to gain more experience, but never surf alone. Watch where the older guys sit, which waves they paddle for, and where they paddle to, when they paddle back out. The best way to learn is by watching how others do it”.

In addition, Warwick warns that surfing comes with its dangers. “Youngsters need to be careful in order to avoid injuries. Start out with the softer waves like those at Kelly’s Beach, before moving on to greater challenges such as East Beach,” he says.

Now the owner of RE/MAX Kowie and married to Lindy, the couple has three young children, Kate, Lily and Owen, Warwick acknowledges that he no longer has as much time to pursue his interests in contest surfing as he had previously. What drives him to continue is the love he has for the sport, and he regularly makes time to go down to East Beach with his children as their interest in surfing grows.

Warwick has reached heights that few other local sportsmen have. Through his hard work, commit-ment and undoubted talent, he has become a role model to young surfers around the region. Taking all this into consideration, few would argue that Warwick Heny is a Port Alfred sporting legend.

THE eighth round of the annual PARSC Rock and Surf GM Kenrich Round Robin Competition was held from Fish River to the Kleinemonde East River on Saturday the 24th of August. Condi-tions were very poor with a strong south west-erly wind and a rough surging sea. Ten teams of

four fished the competition, together with a number of individual anglers. Overall only 30.4 kg of edible fish consisting of seven different species were caught of which 92.6 % were successfully released.

The team with the winning IGFA points on the day was Team 1, con-sisting of Adrian Bezuidenhout, Niall Borland, Leonard Bodill and Jeremy Smith. Team 6, consisting of Deon and Brandon Marais, together with Craig and Andrew Du Toit came in second place. Team 8, consisting of Tienie Lindeque, Douglas Olivier, Ross Bartlett and Darryl Olivier came in third place. In the Round Robin League, Team 1 beat Team 3, Team 2 beat Team 4, Team 5 beat Team 10, Team 6 beat Team 9 and Team 8 beat Team 7.

The Current Top Round Robin Teams are as follows:

1st: Team 6: 1308 pts (Deon Marais, Brendon Marais, Craig du Toit, Andrew du Toit)

2nd: Team 1: 1213 pts (Adrian Be-zuidenhout, Leonard Bodhill, Jeremy Smith, Niall Borland)

3rd: Team 2: 1126 pts (Dave Kemp, Len Titmuss, Ryan Reeves,

Karen Kemp)The top individual Angler was Dave

Kemp with a bag of 5.5 kg. Brendon Marais came in second with 4.3 kg, catching the heaviest bronze bream 3.0 kg which was also the heaviest fish of the day and won the Sotheby’s Catch of the Day. Darryl Olivier came in third with 3.6 kg, and also caught the heaviest white steenbras 1.9 kg. Darian Keeton caught the heaviest blacktail 0.8 kg. Niall Borland caught the heaviest black musselcracker 1.0 kg. Leonard Bodill caught the heavi-est white musselcracker 1.1 kg. Jer-emy Smith caught the heaviest cape stumpnose 0.5 kg and Colin Reed caught the heaviest striped mullet 0.7 kg.

Len Titmuss won the masters section (over 55’s) with 1.1 kg and Brendon Marais won the U21 sec-tion with 4.3 kg. There was no win-ner of the ladies section or the U16 section.

The next PARSC Rock and Surf Competition will be the Round 9 of the GM Kenrich Round Robin to be held between the West pier and Sand Rock including Darian’s on the 7th of September .
