Skate park for valleySkate park for valleyMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Far South teens who enjoy skating willhave to get their dancing shoes out andget ready to dance the night away.
This follows a proposal to the SouthPenin-sula Subcouncil for a skate park at FishHoek Beach.Chairperson Felicity Purchase says the
proposalwasmade byFishHoek resident Si-mon Good. It proposes the construction of askate park in a parking area near the toilets.It also proposes the park be maintained bythe City of Cape Town and casual staff behired to assist the management team.Speakingduring themonthlymeeting yes-
terday, Good explained he is the father of
two sons who enjoyed skating.Due to the lack of facilities, Good built a
ramp in his front yardwhich he subsequent-ly opened to children in the valley and ex-plained several youngsters came out eachday.Good said as skating become more popu-
lar, he was concerned about children skat-ing in the street.“The closest skate park for this subcouncil
is at [the skate park] at the Nantes in Athlo-ne. I proposed the derelict parking area atthe beach as it is easily accessible for all chil-dren from Kommetjie, Masiphumelele andOcean View,” he said.Good further explained with the close
proximity of the proposed park to FishHoekstation, teens wanting to use the facility
could travel along existing public transportroutes.In response, Purchase said there was a
need for a safe place for recreational activi-ties in Fish Hoek. She asked for an estima-tion on the costs which Good said would beabout R2000/m².Theproposalwasput to avote andcouncil-
lors unanimously agreed to adopt theproject.Speaking after the meeting, Purchase ex-
plained it will now be a subcouncil projectand, jointly with help from residents, thefunds will be raised.“It will provide a recreational space for all
children and reduce the risk of then skatingin the streets.”The bold plan will include a strategy
where teenagerswill help raise the funds forthe new park.Purchase says a series of teen discos will
be held at the Fish Hoek Civic Centre. Theseevents will cater for children aged between13 and 17 and will be managed with an ironfist as Purchase explains she will be incharge.“There will be no alcohol and no smoking.
I will be there to ensure that everything iskept clean andwe provide a safe and fun dis-co for teens in the valley. This plan allowsthem to play a vital role in the creation ofa youth amenity in Fish Hoek,” she con-cludes.V What are your thoughts on this proposal?

Subconscious toll of crimeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
It all happened one morning in winter. AHout Bay family was making their wayhome.Upon arrival they were accosted by three
men wearing balaclavas and armed with acrowbar. They demanded cash and two ofthe suspects took the father into the house
where they tied him up. Meanwhile, anothersuspect assaulted his wife with a crowbar.
The criminals made off with a watch, cash,a cellphone and laptop. The woman, howev-er, had to be hospitalised and undergo an op-eration on her face. This is one of many chill-ing accounts of house robbery provided bypolice. Along with reports such as thesethere are other many horrific stories of ATMbombings, mall robberies and violent car-
jackings. But as crime trends change, the af-fects on the victims do so in tandem.
StressThe free counselling service LifeLine says
in a statement it is facing its hardest chal-lenge in 47 years.
Chairperson Glynis Depper says assistingvictims to deal with the stress and anxietycaused by violent crime is currently themain subject many counsellors are assistingcallers with. She says while they try to keepabreast of what is happening in the country,this issue seemingly crept up on counsellorsand is becoming more prevalent.
In her statement, Depper outlines the ef-fects of being in a constant “high alert state”.Having herself been a victim of crime threetimes, she explains how victims often alter-nate their lifestyles adding stress to theirdaily routine without noticing it.
SubconsciousWhen preparing to drive from point A to
B, many individuals will look for the safestroute. Depper explains while this is commonpractice, subconsciously crime has condi-tioned the way we live our lives and un-knowingly we often go out of our way to en-sure the safety of our loved ones and belong-ings.
Highlighting the spate of mall robberieslast year and the recent mugging of SABCjournalist Vuyo Mvoko, who along with atelevision crew were robbed while filminga news segment, Depper says in recent
years criminals have become more brazenand their actions have many runningscared. “I would think twice about going toa mall these days. Even going grocery shop-ping could be dangerous,” she says.
Negative impactDepper believes amid the feelings of inse-
curity, fear and a response spectrum whichranges from anger and bitterness to paraly-sis, crime has a negative impact on our emo-tional and physical well-being as well as ourrelationships. “The main aspect is theamount of stress we out on ourselves to en-sure we are safe. This builds up and can havevery bad effects on your mental well-beingand could develop into a disorder if not dealtwith,” she says.
Let it outThe organisation has made an appeal for
victims to get help by letting it all out.Depper says the services provided by Life-
Line are focussed on empathy and empower-ment, supporting emotional wellness, be-lieving in the soul and connectedness of hu-mankind. “We all share the same woundsand brokenness – these are the things thatbind us together – those who have participat-ed in our training courses will attest to this.”
In her statement Depper explains LifeLinestrives to reach out and find the tools, em-bedded in everyone that will bring healingand courage. “Our counsellors are highlytrained and offer total confidentiality. We of-fer both telephonic and face-to-face counsel-ling.”
She encourages victims not to be brave bytrying to understand and process what hashappened on their own. “We offer a free ser-vice and help people to just let it out,” Depperconcludes.V Call LifeLine on 021 461 1111, to make an appoint-ment to see a counsellor call 021 461 1113.

OCEAN VIEW
Laying the groundworkMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
A call was made and Ocean View resi-dents have responded.A bold plan to prepare young chil-
dren for school has taken shape as resi-dents of the mountainside communityhave taken time to assist the small school.Founded by Johann Kikillus of Soteria
Ministries last month (“Outdoor educa-tion”, People’s Post, 10 February), theschool which assists children at risk andthose who cannot afford the fees of crechesin the area has just over 60 little ones regis-tered.With two dedicated teachers who volun-
teer their time, the school was set amongthe derelict buildings that make up theOcean View CBD.Kikillus invited People’s Post to their
temporary premises at the Ocean ViewMethodist Church last week.Here teachers and children laugh and
play happily as they prepare for a day of
learning. In the kitchen, several OceanView moms cook up a storm to ensure thechildren receive a hearty and healthybreakfast and lunch each day.Kikillus explains all equipment, food
and other items have been donated by lo-cals in an attempt to help uplift the littleones.“These are children who used to be at
risk. Now thanks to the help of OceanView, they will get a chance to be properlyprepared for schoolwhich lowers thepossi-bility of them dropping out later,” he says.Among the women seen lifting and stir-
ring big pots of food is Marion Trollip, oneof many volunteers who cook daily for thechildren.Trollip shares her heart-wrenching sto-
ry of being rejected as a child and says shehopes her work will help Ocean View chil-dren feel accepted and give them hope fora better future.“I know what its like and my heart goes
out to these children. I hope the little wedo will motivate and help them,” she says.
The good news is that the children willsoon have their own school.MartiWeddepohl, of Mercy Network, ex-
plains under theMayor’s Urban Regenera-tion Programme (Murp), the City of CapeTown along with various non-governmen-tal organisations will establish a SafeHouse.With the use of containers, the Safe
House, aimed at addressing social issues inOceanView,will be established on the landbehind the civic centre.She explains when realising the need to
assist the children, the organisations nev-er intended to start anEarly ChildhoodDe-velopment Centre (ECD).“Due to the various regulations we will
never meet the requirements for an ECD.Considering the background of the chil-dren we have sought help from variousgovernment departments but they havenot assisted. The good news is they will beaccommodated as part of the Safe Houseproject,” Weddepohl explains.TheSafeHouse is set to consist of a coffee
shop and meeting place where residentswho are in need of assistance can come andsource help in a safe and relaxed environ-ment.It will consist of 12 containers, four of
which have been set aside for the ECD.The project will see the establishment of
a social serviceshub forOceanViewwhichwill cover a variety of services includingoutpatient support groups for recoveringdrug addicts.Weddepohl says they are now calling on
organisationsand individualswhoare cur-rently rendering services inOceanView tocontact her to see how they can be accom-modated at the Safe House.“We want to meet up with them and see
how their services couldbe tiedupwith theSafe House. We would like to work withthese individuals and organisations,” shesays.V If you would like to assist the school or if you wantmore information about the Safe House email [email protected] or [email protected].
Plan to curb mudslidesAuthorities are working on a plan to imple-ment measures to prevent mudslides fol-lowing several fires in the South Peninsula.TheCity ofCapeTownsays in a statement
they are drawing on all available expertisetomitigate against possible landslides in ar-eas which have been destabilised by recentfires. The stormwater system will also beprepared for increased siltation to preventblockages.“Fires such as these damage the vegeta-
tion that plays an important role in holdingmountain soil in place, which can leaveroads and homes on the mountain vulnera-ble to rock and mudslides during periods ofheavy rain.”The City is engaging specialist consult-
ants to undertake detailed investigationsand to propose andmanage the implementa-tion of remedial measures, it says.An emergency supply chainmanagement
deviation has been obtained for this pur-pose. “We expect to have consultants ap-
pointed during the course of next week, andremedial work should start in time to pre-empt the winter rains.”In addition, soil and rocks that have been
loosened can create maintenance challen-ges for the stormwater system.TheCitywillundertake intensive cleaning and mainte-nance of the existing stormwater systems inthe built-up areas below the fire zones to re-duce the possibility of blockages in thesesystems. Also, gabion weirs and stillingponds will be constructed at selected posi-tions across the natural water courses onthe burnt mountain slopes. These will re-duce the velocity of floodwaters in thestreams and trap heavy silt and large rocksbefore they reach the intakes to the pipedsystems under the built-up areas.Mayoral Committee Member for Trans-
port Brett Herron says having experiencedfires of a similar scale in 2000, the City isable to drawon awealth of experiencewhenit comes to this kind of project.

TAMING THE TEENAGER
Road rageGAVIN FISH
I have been the victimof road rage twice in re-cent months.I write that with much
puffed-up indignation asI was the one wronged. Imean, the former pulledout in front of me, with-out indicating, causingme to swerve violentlyand the latter performedan illegal u-turn … I was,of course, entitled tovoice my indignation,loudly and persistentlyboth with vocals, hooterand gesture.They were in the
wrong and theyneeded tounderstand just howdan-gerous their driving hadbeen.What I received in re-
sponse was disturbing, to say the least.Both were a barrage of the foulest lan-
guage imaginable, threats to do the inde-scribable tome and clearlymore than readyfor a fight.I was left rather shaken, asking myself
just how we had reached that point.Lurking beneath my injured innocence
was the nagging realisation that I had con-tributed to the confrontations.I am in no way suggesting the blame was
equal, that their reactions were thereforejustified or at least understandable. What Iam acknowledging is that both situationscould and should have turned out different-ly had I reacted differently.
Of course I want togrumpily interject andinsist that I was the onemore wronged; that theonus shouldnot beonmeto have responded differ-ently. I had failed the “bethe bigger person,” test.I was not even on thescoreboard.So too with teenagers!
Do amental inventory ofyour recent heated andunhappy exchanges.In how many of them
could the outcome havebeen different had youreacted differently?Again, the point is notwhether you are in theright, it is rather how doyou choose to take onwhat is wrong.If I failed to master the
appropriate responsewith five decades of life lessons behind me,should I reallybe so stridently insistent thatmy teen responds perfectly?No one enjoys having their wrongdoing
pointed out to them. Choose your words.Create a distance between your indignationand your chosen response. Yes, teens doneed tobeblisteredwith the truth fromtimeto time. If we have a loving relationshipwith them they will in time come to petu-lantly accept the blistering.Generally speaking we should adopt the
opposite spirit to that with which we areconfronted.Two wrongs do not make a right.I am trying!

Expertto probeFar SouthblazeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Allegations of arson have sparked aninvestigation into the cause of theSouth Peninsula fires.
The blaze which ravaged through themountain slopes behind Boyes Drive andNoordhoek wreaked havoc as several resi-dents had to be evacuated from theirhomes.
According to South Peninsula Subcoun-cil chairperson Felicity Purchase, the firewas one of the biggest challenges faced bythe Far South in recent years.
In addition to this incident, firefightersalso spent several hours putting out theblaze at Cape Point and Scarborough.
Purchase says available information in-dicates only the Cape Point fire was startedby lightning.
She further states the fire damaged be-tween up to 6000ha of mountain land, costjust over R6m to extinguish and damagedone house in Noordhoek.
Purchase also reports a daring rescue byDisaster Risk Management volunteersfrom Fish Hoek put their own safety at riskto rescue two City of Cape Town officialswho got caught in the fire at Cape Point.
The City has now appointed top forensicscientist David Klatzow to investigate thecause of the fires.

Do research before buyingThe type of area that today’s first-time
homebuyers want to live in may bequite different from the suburbs that
their parents or grandparents chose.But there are still certain fundamentals to
consider before they sign an offer to pur-chase, says Jan Davel, MD of an estate agen-cy group.“These include safety, convenience, noise
and a few other factors that will determinewhether their home is a good investment inthe medium to long-term and, just as impor-
tantly, whether it will be a pleasant place tolive in the meanwhile.”For example, he says, it is very important
to many young people that they live in a“walkable” neighbourhood, with shops, res-taurants, entertainmentvenues and the gymall close to home.But this does not necessarily mean they
have to buy a home in the city centre.“There are an increasing number of lifes-
tyle estates and new urban developments inthe suburbs, where everything one needs
are on the doorstep, and which are often saf-er, less noisy and more affordable than CBDprecincts.“In addition, as the rapid bus and train
transport networks expand, more and moreyoungbuyers are finding they don’t necessa-rily have to live close towork to avoid trafficand long commutes. They can buy a homein the trendy beachfront suburbs of Bloub-erg, for example, and be in the centre of CapeTown in less than 30 minutes on a MyCiTibus.
According to Davel, something else that isvery important to young buyers is a strongsense of community, so they need to consid-er what sort of social life they hope to haveonce they become homeowners.It is also vital to pick an area that is safe.
“Any good estate agent should be able to pro-vide you with the crime stats for the areayou, but you should also make a point of vi-siting the area on different days of the weekand at different times of the day to build upyour own picture of what it’s like.”

MUIZENBERG
Family-friendly marketMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
False Bay Rendezvous is nowhome to a newweeklymarket.With an array of stalls, ac-
tivities for childrenand livemusic,TheVleiMarket is quickly gainingpopularity among locals.Started by Muizenberg resident
Justine Solomon, the first marketwas held on Saturday 14 February.Solomon explains when she
moved to the seaside suburb shenoticed a lack of activity atZandvlei.“Aside from being able to go for
a walk at our leisure or paddle onthe vlei, the community didn’tseem to use it much. I was blessedwith a baby and thought it wouldbe awesome to have a space that Icould spend time outdoorswithmybaby and family and possibly theresidents of Muizenberg.”
Solomon says she acknowledgeda need for a convenient shoppingexperience and a way to increasebusiness and trade fromwithin thecommunity and thought a marketwas the perfect solution.There are currently between 20
and 30 traders and organisers onthe lookout for new stalls.She says their main focus is on
children and providing fun out-door activities for families. “Themarket offers shoppers a collectionof interesting crafters as well assome clothing, antiques, jewellery,food – including Darios Coffee orcoffee from Zion, pulled pork fromLunchworks, shwarmas fromShwarma Zone, fresh juice fromMartins Super Juice, baked goods,Counter Culture MediterraneanGrill and pickles from Bollard,”she says.Customers enter free and traders
pay a trading fee and fill out an ap-
plication.Solomon says the idea for The
VleiMarketwas to provide adiffer-ent experience from those of othermarkets.“We wanted to go back to basics,
and have a fun outdoor relaxedfamily environment that still of-fers the same quality as the big in-door markets. We focus on enter-tainment for children and fun anda nice and relaxed atmospherewith plenty seating and shade,And, of course, lots of space forchildren to run wild in,” she con-cludes.V The market is weather-dependant andis not open when it rains. Interested traderscan email Abigail at [email protected].

Milano United came from a goal downto secure a point away from homewhen they played to a 1-1 stalemate
with Vasco da Gama in a NFD encounterat Parow Park on Saturday afternoon.
The opening stages of the match was atypical Cape derby with a high intensity,back-and-forth battle.
Milano United looked more dangerous inthe final stages, with Vasco committing anumber of fouls in dangerous positions.
Vasco goalkeeper Steven Hoffman wasin sublime form on the day as he produceda number of match-winning saves to keep
his side in the game.In the 18th minute, Hoffman was well po-
sitioned when he collected Eezy My Kin-nes’ first attempt at goal through Ghanaianattacker Attram Kwame.
Shortly after that, the Kinnes movedswiftly into the final third with beautifulbuild-up play by Kwame and Nazier Ja-cobs, ultimately setting up Ganief Stellen-boom whose one-on-one opportunity waskept out by Hoffman. At the opposite endof the pitch, Samuel Julies’ set-piece from35-yards out went narrowly over the wood-work. Vasco took the lead at the half-hourmark when Stanley Muishond slotted theball home following a scramble inside the
six-yard area. The Kinnes continued to cre-ate a number of goal-scoring opportunities,but lacked the final pass when it was need-ed. Meanwhile, Zeka Karkee and Muish-ond teamed up nicely in the middle of thefield for the hosts. Two minutes into thesecond period, Milano came close to find-ing the equaliser when Taariq Fielies’ longball into the area almost crept in at the farpost. Coach Theo Hempe introduced thefresh legs of Ruzaigh Gamildien into theKinnes’ attack as they looked to level mat-ters. Gamildien almost made an instant im-pact when Kwame set him up, but his effortwas brilliantly kept out by Hoffman.
In the 52nd minute, the heroics of Hoff-
man was called on yet again, and the lankyshot-stopper tipped Nasief Morris’ 35-yardset-piece over the crossbar.Milano eventu-ally levelled matters in the 61st minutewhen Stellenboom’s long ball into the 18-yard area was deflected by Karkee into theback of his own net for an own goal.
Hempe then looked to get the winner andrejuvenated the attack with Lesvin Stoffelsand Brent Adonis. However, it was Vascowho came close to snatching the late win,but were denied by goalkeeper Lee Langev-eldt who pulled off two miraculous savesof his own.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more matchreport and football news.

Saturday saw senior athletes undergoingtheir final preparations for this comingweekend’s Western Province Track andField Championships.
With Bellville Stadium finally off the com-petition list, the athletes prepared at ParowTrack, where the championship will be host-ed.
The WPA League three was severely ham-pered by a faulty starter’s pistol, which test-ed the patience of even the starter himself.In the 110m hurdles for men, Antonio Al-kana was unfazed by the near dozen recalls,clocking a win in a solid 14.15s. He will defi-nitely be the one to beat.
Roscoe Engel, WP champion in the 100mfor the past couple of years, will be runningwith a huge target on his back, with Alkanaedging ever closer to him in each race. The100m for men showed just how close it willbe with Engel taking it in 10.43s to Alkana’s10.44.
With the likes of Brent Stevens, Yusuf Is-mail, Rodwell Ndlovu and the young Kyle
Appel all talented enough to make the final,it should be a showdown of note. They alltake the battle to the men’s 200m, just in caseyou missed the first run.
The men’s 800m is regaining the excite-ment of the 1990’s with numerous men edg-ing closer to the 1min50s mark. The winnerat the championships will definitely havehis work cut out. Local lad Duran Faro, whocan often be seen running the streets of Par-ow, will have his eye on the 800m and 1500mdouble. He will have to contend with thelikes of Sibusisu Magwaza and Anthony Ti-motius though.
Sonja van der Merwe, as always, appearsunstoppable and will be the favourite in the200m and 400m, but can she take the 100mtitle too? She has done it before.
The championships start tomorrow(Thursday) at 17:00 with the multi eventsand 10 000m, and culminates on Saturday,when most of the finals will take place.
Contact the WPA Office at 021 699 0615 forfurther details.
