DEVELOPMENT

Paragon: changes afootNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A proposed nine-storey development isa “threat to the character ofObservato-ry”, a community organisation main-

tains.The development, named the Paragon,

will consist of 188 apartments and 235 park-ing bays and will cater for students andthose looking to invest in property.

The development cost is reportedly esti-mated at R270m for the prime Main Road lo-cation near Groote Schuur Hospital andUCT.

However, Observatory Civic Associationchairperson Mark Turok says the develop-ment is totally out of place with the visionthe organisation has for Observatory as anUrbanConservationArea, respecting the ex-isting character and encouraging an appro-priate level of densification and upgrade.

Over 350 residents have signed a petitionagainst the development.

Turok would like to see a scaled-downbuilding which will blend in with neigh-bouring property.

“There is potential to integrate a four-sto-rey building in a respectful way, instead ofa nine-storey building designed with abso-lutely no respect to the existing historicalenvironment or the prevailing scale,” hesays.

Turok says most neighbouring buildingsare “single-storey heritage stock” and thedevelopment falls on the edge of the UrbanConservation Area.

He believes the development will “blocklight and views of themountain and be total-ly out of scale”.

The building plan application is being cir-culated to the relevant departments for com-ments, says Johan van der Merwe, City ofCape TownMayoral Committee member forEnergy, Environmental and Spatial Plan-ning.

The application does not require any pub-lic participation as it complies with themixed use zoning of the property.

“The National Building Regulations andStandards Act does not make provision fora public participation process in this re-

gard,” he says.The property also falls outside the Heri-

tage Protection Overlay Zone, Van der Mer-we says.

Rawson Developers’ property develop-ment analyst TrevorWeston-Green says thecompany is currently working with councilto amend the current plans “to somethingthat council views to be in the better interestof the area and more in line with the town

planning fabric and desired densification”.No feedback has been received from the

community, he says. “We have receivedfeedback from the Citywhich stemmed fromthe residents in the area,” he says.

“We are aware of the conservation areathat covers the majority of the Observatoryarea. Following council’s desires, the MainRoad precinct has been identified for densi-fication and was zoned to accommodate

this.”However, Turok maintains the communi-

ty will make its voice heard.“We’re not asking the developers not to de-

velop, we’re asking them to make changes.We’re waiting to get the right to commentand raise our objections. We’re asking thatthe City consider alternatives without re-moving anyone’s rights. The community al-sohas rights andwants to beheard,”he says.

Hookah pipes under microscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department about

the use of electronic or e-ciga-rettes, but says this continues tobe a grey area as there are no pro-visions for these items in the To-bacco Control Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking

of cigarettes, Van Minnen saysthe legislation is very clear andthe City is seeking similar clarityon hookah pipes and e-cigarettes.“In the absence of legislation,there is nothing that prevents es-tablishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or thepipes being used in areas wheresmoking would otherwise not beallowed,” she explains.

HealthVanMinnen further highlights

research done on the effects ofhookah pipe smoking.She explains in themost recent

study in America, it was foundthat 39% of teenagers and youngadults who had previouslysmoked hookah pipes went on tosmoke cigarettes. “Hookah pipesare very popular in Cape Town,not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a per-ception that the flavoured tobac-co is somehow not harmful. To-bacco is tobacco, no matter whatthe flavour. We need to be moremindful as a society about theburden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”With high levels of respiratory

diseases such as tuberculosis,Van Minnen says authoritieshave to make every effort to com-bat these.Officials from the City’s health

department have met with re-searchers from both UCT and theUWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not defini-tive, smoking hookah pipes is harmful to thehealth of an individual. The researchers arealso in agreement that nicotine remains oneof the most addictive substances, especiallyfor young people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by theSouthAfri-

canMedical Research Council (MRC) smokefrom a hookah pipe is not better than ciga-rette smokebecause it passes throughwater.This is because, like cigarette smoke, hook-

ah smoke contains poisons including nico-tine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic and lead.The sheet covers a variety of topics includ-

ing the long-term health effects of smokinghookah.It says smoking hookah can be as addic-

tive as cigarettes and the long-term effectsinclude cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.

The sheet also outlines the ef-fects of secondary smoke from ahookah pipe which non-smok-ers, in this instance, are ex-posed to.“Children whose parents

smoke hookahs are more likelyto have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,”it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conduct-

ed by Professor Angela Mathee,who heads the MRC’s Environ-ment and Health Research Unitin five “deprived” areas in Jo-hannesburg, high rates of hook-ah smoking were observed.As part of the study, a survey

was conducted with Grade 10pupils from a nearby schoolwhere it was found that 60% ofpupils had used or were cur-rently smoking hookah pipes.The results also indicate thatmost users started smokinghookah pipes between the agesof 13 and 15.The study also says a signifi-

cant number of users had re-ported using marijuana or alco-hol-based products along withthe tobacco. It highlights theneed for nationwide researchon the extent of hookah smok-ing in South Africa.Van Minnen says she will be

raising the issues with nationalhealth minister Aaron Motsoal-edi to push for legal clarity onthe use of hookah pipes ande-cigarettes sooner rather thanlater.“I amnot necessarily pushing

for a ban on the devices, be-cause to be fair there is not de-finitive proof of their impact.

But we do need to close the legislative vacu-umwhere these devices are concerned,” sheconcludes.V Do you think Hookah pipes are dangerous? Startingwith the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

UWatch Neighbourhood Watch is raising fundsfor a radio network to assist in crime fighting.PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

Network against crimeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Crime fighting in Woodstock, WalmerEstate and University Estate is set totake to the airwaves as the UWatch

NeighbourhoodWatch attempts to get a ra-dio network off the ground.A radio network, including repeater and

mobile hand-held units, is necessary forrapid distribution of information, saysUWatch chairperson Andrew Geel.“The radio network will form the cor-

nerstone of the neighbourhood watch, andwill allowmembers to keep in contactwitheach other, either when on patrol or inemergency situations. Radios will also beplaced at the local police station and oursecurity partners, in order to allow us tocommunicate with them when required,”he says.Woodstock police spokesperson Ser-

geantHiltonMalila says the station strivestowards better communication betweencommunities and crime fighting stake-holders within the precinct.“We fully support the idea of a radio net-

work for the neighbourhood watch. Some-times when neighbourhood watch mem-bers are out on patrols, they need to easilymake contact with one another to relay in-formation pertaining to crime incidents.Radio networking is faster than making aphone call,” he explains.“The radio networkwill enhance our re-

sponse time to complaints in the area. Weare looking forward to be part of this newcommunication network with UWatch.”This improved communication will

make it possible for the neighbourhoodwatch to react faster when dealing with

criminal behaviour and “allow for faster de-ployment of resources where and when re-quired”, Geel says.“This will have a massive impact on

crime prevention, as we will be able to mo-bilise patrollers faster and more accurate-ly.”However, the organisation is searching

for funding to get the network up and run-ning.Geel says the supply and installation of

the repeater, including 10 portable radios,will cost about R75 000.“We are currently raising funds and have

a total of R12 500 allocated to the radio net-work,” Geel says.Funding of R50 000 has been allocated

from ward councillor Brett Herron’s wardallocation budget, but this has yet to be ap-proved.If this sumis approved, itwill be available

from the next June/July financial year.Geel says should funding be obtained, the

repeater should be installed and the net-work operational by the end of the secondquarter of this year.“Members can assist either by contribut-

ing financially, by purchasing UWatchhouse signs or by assisting us with our fun-draising efforts through either donatinggoods that we will raffle off or by attendinga fundraising meeting and contributingideas,” he says.V Email [email protected] for more information.

HIGH-TECH EQUIPMENT

City’s newrescue vesselFlooding andwater rescue operations by

the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Res-cue Service have been bolstered by the

acquisition of a new hi-tech rubber boatworth almost R400 000.A City statement says this rubber boat

will help boost the response of its DivingUnit. The new boat has a 95F fuel tank andcan fit six crew members with their divinggear, as well as multiple patients. It is alsorigged to do resuscitation (CPR) on board.The City has a multi-functional emergen-

cy response service that deals with a rangeof incidents apart from fire suppression andprevention, including a group of 24 quali-

fied divers and 10 skippers.This year the City will boost the staff by

training an additional 10 divers and 10 skip-pers. The new boat adds to the unit’s fleetof two rubber ducks, three jet-skis and analuminium boat that is used on inland wa-ter bodies and in flooding situations.JP Smith, of the City’s safety and security

directorate, says: “We have invested quiteheavily in our specialised services so thatwe can offer the best possible service to ourresidents.“This is but the latest example of our ef-

forts and shows our commitment to creat-ing a safer city.”

The Bible to be translatedinto SA sign languageDelegates of the Reformed Churches inSouth Africa recently sat in silence as asign language linguist and researcher in-formed them about the development of anew Bible in South African sign lan-guage.Ananda van der Walt, a translator for

the Hands with Words project to trans-late the Bible into sign language, toldthem there is a huge need for minister-ing among the deaf community in SouthAfrica.“Wedonot have people inSouthAfrica

who can directly translate the Bible intosign language,” Van der Walt explained.She said this is the first ever attempt

to translate the entire Bible into SouthAfrican sign language.The Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only

ones yet to have translated the Bible in-to sign language for their deaf follow-ers.Van der Walt says the deaf society

wants a Bible in their first language,

which is sign language.For the deaf who use sign language, to

have to read the Bible in another lan-guage is very difficult.Lisa Craye, executive director of

Hands with Words, said they aim tolaunch 32 evangelical Bible stories bythe end of this year.The plan is to translate 110 stories to

the letter into sign language, but eventu-ally to provide thedeafwith the fullBiblein sign language.“It is going to take us forever to trans-

late the Bible,” she joked. Since theproject started in 2013, they only man-aged to translate 16 stories.“God’s Word is for each and every-

one,” she says.Craye says the reaction from the deaf

community after seeing a draft of the Bi-ble’s creation story in sign language,wasincredible. “It was the first time theyhave ever heard of and read the story.”– Translated from Die Burger

For some, the festive season hasbrought less holiday cheer ascrime spiked across various

policing precincts.Woodstock police witnessed an

increase in robberies over the holi-days, says spokesperson SergeantHilton Malila.“The most of these robberies re-

ported indicated that the incidentshappened between midday andnight. Although the robberiesshowed an increase, the station’scrime inall categories showedade-crease due to the visibility of thepolice throughout the festive sea-son. We called upon all the reserveforce of the station to assist aswell,” he says.CapeTowncentral police spokes-

person Captain Ezra October saysrobberies around transport inter-changes such as the train stationand MyCiTi bus stations spiked.Much of this crime has been at-

tributed to an influx of street peo-ple to the central city during theholiday period, according to Octo-ber.The spike in crime has seen po-

lice focusing on hotspot areas to re-duce the crime, October explains.“During the festive season we

have strengthened our partner-ship with local government, secu-rity agencies and neighbourhoodwatches to be more available andvisible in the identified hotspot ar-eas. Police continued with dailycrime planning meetings to adaptto the challenging crime patterns.

We held ongoing clean-up and inte-grated operations with all securityagencies at the railway station,Strand, Sir Lowry, Oswald Pirowand Long and Loop streets,” hesays.The station marked a slight de-

crease in business and residential

house break-ins this festive sea-son, October says.Woodstock police also noticed a

slight increase in theft out of vehi-cles.“Analysis proved that people are

still negligent by leaving movableand valuable items inside their ve-

hicles. We also can link this in-crease to the influx of people intothe precinct due to the entertain-ment facilities in it,” continues Oc-tober.However, the Maitland precinct

did not experience any increase incriminal activities during this fes-

tive season, says Maitland policespokesperson Constable LorencialJohnson.“Additional manpower was put

in place to prevent these criminalactivities from taking place espe-cially over the festive period,” saysJohnson.

Over 300 Western Cape heritage build-ings have been demolished in 16months.

The Green Point Ratepayers’ Associationreleased this information, which is based onnumbers obtained from Heritage WesternCape.

Mark Magielse, co-chairperson of the as-sociation, says the number is “staggering”and raises “much concern”.

“The public at large has no idea that ourheritage is being destroyed at such an alarm-ing speed,” he says.

However, Heritage Western Cape CEO An-drew Hall says the statement by the associa-tion is “frankly, misleading”.

“The issue is that these are not ‘heritagebuildings’ as is stated by the association.They are not formally protected in terms ofprovisions of the heritage legislation. Theyare simply buildings of 60 years or older thatin terms of the National Heritage ResourcesAct we are required to assess for heritagevalue. I am sure the majority of the publicwill understand that simply because a struc-ture is older than 60 years does not mean ithas heritage significance, or that it shouldnot be possible to alter or demolish such pla-ces,” he explains.

Observatory historian and author JimHislop explains the term “heritage” is oftenloosely used to apply to buildings over 60years old, even though these may not haveheritage significance. “It is important,though, that we do our best to protect ourold buildings for future generations to en-joy,” he says.

During the same period, Heritage WesternCape processed over 3300 applications, Hall

says.This makes the number of demolitions

less than 10% of all applications received.“Over the same period there were no per-

mits issued for demolition of sites formallydeclared provincial heritage sites,” he says.

Most demolitions are ordered when build-ings are in a derelict state or a new develop-ment has been proposed, Hall says.

“Reasons are varied and applicants do nothave tell us what they are [planning] as inthe vast majority of instances the Act onlyrequires us to assess the heritage signifi-cance of what is on a site at the present timeand not to weigh that against what is comingin its place,” he says.

All sites are graded according to their her-itage status, Hall explains. Sites graded athree would have the most heritage value.

In the statistics released by the associa-tion, of those 302 buildings demolished, 10were graded 3A, 44 graded 3B and 104 graded3C. The rest were ungradable.

The association is currently challengingan appeal by the owners of 8 Romney Road,a 108-year-old home, against a ruling thatit may not be demolished to make way fora multi-storey development.

“Similar decisions and demolition per-mits have been granted by Heritage WesternCape in Fresnaye, De Waterkant, Vrede-hoek, Bakoven and many other suburbs,”Magielse says.

“There has been a long process of attritiondue the demolition of a number of old build-ings in Green Point and other areas of CapeTown that are cause for great concern.

“The cumulative impact of a series ofthese demolitions over time is having adetrimental impact on the character of thecity and irrevocably destroying its verysoul.”

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 Janu-ary, walkers, runners and nature loversacross Cape Town will be preparing to

Run the Roodeberg. A bold campaign tohelp preserve and enjoy the mountainslopes behind Capri has taken shape.In January last year,WWFSouthAfrica,

the Table Mountain Fund and South Afri-can National Parks set out to obtain twopieces of privately owned land for incorpo-ration into the Table Mountain National

Park (TMNP). They launched their cam-paign, called Restore the Roodeberg, andlobbied to raise R9.2m to acquire the re-maining properties on the northern sec-tion.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two piecesof land. Following this campaign, theCapriNeighbourhood Watch launched the Runthe Roodeberg event.Watchmember Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought a

sustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the event will consist of

two trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at

the same point but after the 3km mark ittakes a left turn and rewards the runnerswith some fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for

the 6km and R150 for the 16km; R50 of eachentrywill go towards the campaign.The re-mainder of the funds will cover operation-al costs and go towards the Capri Neigh-bourhood Watch. They plan to publish thefinancials to ensure transparency. “Theevent is about celebrating community col-laboration to help restore the Roodebergand improve safety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDTuesday, 20 January 2015 NEWS 9PROBLEM BUILDING

A ‘haven’ for criminalsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymcccain

Community organisations are attempt-ing to have a derelict building in SaltRiver declared a problem property, aft-

er vandalism has seen the building strippedto the core.Although the building falls outside both

the Maitland and Salt River improvementdistricts, Maitland City Improvement Dis-tric manager Gene Lohrentz says the build-ing needs to be classified as a problem prop-erty by the City of Cape Town.The Voortrekker Road building, on the

border betweenSaltRiver andMaitland, hasbeen empty for some time and vandalismand stripping of the building have flour-ished over the last few months, Lohrentzsays.“The stripping started sporadically for a

fewmonths now but suddenly it acceleratedin the last two to three months,” he says.“The area has been in a downward spiral

for some time and the urban decay is evi-dent. Bin scratchers break scrap on the side-walks daily and leave all their discarded lit-ter right there. They also destroy kerbstonesand the surfaces of the sidewalks in the proc-ess. I have many photos and even videos ofthis.”MaitlandCommunity Police Forumchair-

personCharnell Southgate says the buildinghas been a concern to the organisation forover a year, following criminal incidents atthe site.“It’s a concern because our mandate is to

prevent crime. We need to act before any-thing more serious takes place there,” shesays.Illegal dumping also occurs there fre-

quently, Lohrentz says, and the no-man’sland is breeding lawlessness.“The demolished buildings send a mes-

sage of an unmanaged area to all and invitemore people to act outside the law. We evenhave a business that collects water from thecanal in wheelie bins every day and then us-es it to wash cars in the public roads,” hesays.Transnet Engineering spokesperson Lin-

delwa Steto says the property belongs to thePassenger Rail Association of South Africa

(Prasa). However, Prasa referred the en-quiry back to Transnet, saying Transnetowns the property.Southgate has called for the property own-

ers to release their plans for the site.“We need the owners to tell us if they are

going to rebuild or if the site needs to be de-molished,” she says.Lohrentz maintains the building has to be

secured to prevent illegal activity spillingover into Maitland. “The properties shouldbe declared problem buildings under theProblemBuildings Bylaw of the City of CapeTown and then the owners should be forcedto secure the properties,” he maintains.Executive director for Safety and Security

Richard Bosman says the City is followingup on the matter.

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

‘CHEESECAKE’ PIN-UP

Headed forLas VegasLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Withher bright blue hair and inspired fashi-on, Blaauwberg’s Gabbi Katz is challengingthe stereotypes around beauty.By day, Gabbi is a successful business wo-

man. But away from the workplace, she be-comesTheBlueHairedBetty, her pin-upmo-del persona. With a little help from her sup-porters,Gabihopes tobecome the first SouthAfrican to compete in the Viva Las VegasRockabilly Weekend international pin-upcontest in April.For Gabbi, being a pin-up girl is about a

whole lot more than pretty clothes and po-ses.She describes a modern-day pin-up girl as

a combination of old-school values and thestrong will and mind of a 21st century wo-man – prim and proper with a rebelliousstreak, which she believes is also an apt de-scription of herself.Gabbi made her first foray into the world

of pin-up modelling as a form of artistic ex-pressionwhen shemoved away from perfor-ming on stage.“The ‘cheesecake’ pin-up style of model-

ling fits my quirky and silly personalitywell,” she says.Having always led an alternative lifestyle

within the borders of being a “straight-and-narrow kinda girl”, Gabbi says pin-up mo-delling gave her a place where she felt shebelonged.Pin-up models go hand-in-hand with the

Rockabilly lifestyle, a perfect fit for the “bet-ty” who loves old-school rock ‘n roll music,fashion and the “style and class of this bygo-ne era”.Gabbi says she “truly got into it”when she

started posing for the Milnerton-based clot-hing label Miss Happ, and now she uses herposition in the pin-up community to promo-te the Rockabilly lifestyle and challenge peo-ple to “dare to be different”.She will be attending the Viva Las Vegas

Rockabilly Weekend as the brand ambassa-dor for the brand, who will be showing theirspring/summer range at the Viva Las VegasFashion Show.Since she was going to the festival any-

way, Gabi says she entered the pin-up con-test in a pure “why the heck not” moment.“I was absolutely amazed at the response

and support I received as soon as the an-nouncement of the public vote was made on5 January,” she says.In fact, she’s gained so much support that

she’s in the top six of over 100 contestants.Her goal now is to stay within the top six

during the competition’s public voting stageto guarantee her spot at the Miss Viva LasVegas Finale whichwill be hosted in Las Ve-gas on Saturday 4 April.Gabbi hopes to use the contest to create

awareness for the South African Rockabilly“scene” and to gain exposure for localbrands, bands and businesses.V Readers can help keep Gabbi in the running for thecontest by voting for her under the name The BlueHaired Betty at www.vivalasvegas.net/pin-up-contest.Voting closes on Saturday 31 January. Visit www.face-book.com/thebluehairedbetty for more informationabout Gabbi and her Rockabilly lifestyle.

From pinkballs to tensPink balls, a six that can become a 10 andlosing 5 runswhen awicket falls, are all newinnovations for cricket.Everything you thought T20 cricket is

about will be be hit out of the park as theinaugural Varsity Cricket season looks tochallenge all the rules of conventional T20cricket.During the six-day jamboree from 3-8 Feb-

ruary inPotchefstroom, innovations suchasa Power Play Plus Over, Strategy Break andtargets on the side of the field that will yieldten runs if hit, will ramp up the action aseight of South Africa’s top university sidesslog it out to be crowned champions.The Power Play Plus Over can be called

at any time during the batting innings. Thecall can only be made once the bowler is atthe top of his mark for the new over and achange of bowler cannot be made once thePower Play Plus Over has been signalled.The targets on the side of the field will be

erected between the boundary rope and theperimeter fence on the squareboundaries oneither side. Should a batsman hit these tar-gets he, and the batting team, will be award-ed ten runs.These runs are added to the batsman’s to-

tal.The tournament will be played with pink

balls. This offers spectators and possibly fu-ture South African cricket players a first-hand look at the future of cricket.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped inthe violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italywhere

he competes on the European circuit, Solo-mon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.V Share your thoughts.
