Capturing the Heart & Soul of the Bay
By BylineAdmin on January 20, 2015
Hiermee voeg ek my stem by die wat hulle teleurstelling oor die sluiting van die Eden Express uitgespreek het.
Dit bly altyd hartseer as ‘n projek wat met toewyding, passie en entoesiasme aangepak word, vir watter rede ookal, nie slaag nie.
Ook ek, het die kos rubriek geniet. Is dit dan nie juis agv hulle resepte dat ek vandag die perfek geposjeerde eier vir “Eggs Benedict” kan maak nie !
My beste wense vergesel hulle.
Die skoolvakansie is byna iets van die verlede wat beteken, na ‘n week of wat is alles weer terug na normaal.
Na Normaal !! Wat is normaal …… die gejaag na geld, gejaag in die verkeer- na en van die skool en werkplek, gejaag agter die kinders se skoolaktiwiteite aan, gejaag na geluk en liefde, ‘n gejaag na opwinding, na goeie gesondheid, na rustigheid en vrede, ‘n gejaag na ‘n lewe sonder misdaad, haat en armoede, ‘n gejaag na innerlike vrede, of ‘n gejaag na sukses ???
Hoe jy ookal jou lewe sien, waarna jy streef of waarmee jy besig is – moet nie jouself in dit alles vergeet nie.
2015 is hier…”One life, live it”.
The 2015 Diaz Festival – 29 January to 1 February
By BylineAdmin on January 20, 2015
The Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias headed an expedition to sail around the southern tip of Africa in the hope of finding a trade route to India. Dias and his fleet eventually entered what he named Aguada de São Brás (Bay of Saint Blaise) – later renamed Mossel Bayafter the abundance of mussels in the bay – on 3 February 1488. His landing will again be celebrated this year with the 2015 Dias Festival from 29 January 2015 to 1 February 2015.
In the spirit of “Where Cultures Meet” there will be something for everybody to enjoy at the 2015 Dias Festival – 527 years down the road of the landing of Dias’s fleet at Mossel Bay on 3 February 1488. And the best of all – entry will be FREE, including to stage performances by some of South Africa’s top artists!
The fun-filled programme will include
• live shows by artists such as Lloyd Cele, Jody Williams, Emo Adams, Nadine, Monique, Karin Kortje, Gerrie Pretorius, David Fourie, Michael Lindt, Loyiso Bala, Fredi Nest, Pieter Mohr, Willem Botha, Snotkop and Ampie du Preez on the sound stage at the main festival arena, Santos Caravan Park.
• a cultural concert in the Dias Museum, including international folk dances.
• a street parade with floats as well as veteran cars and tractors and more

Mossel Bay’s summer exceeds expectations
By BylineAdmin on January 20, 2015
Mossel Bay’s summer season is still in full swing – and all indications are that it’s exceeding the expectations of both visitors and residents.
“From the municipality’s perspective, it’s been busy but relatively smooth,” said Dr. Michele Gratz, the Municipal Manager.
“All the feedback we’ve had has been positive, with no major problems reported.”
She said that the traders in The Goods Shed – a tourist attraction and local economic development project supported by the Municipality – have reported that they’ve done excellent business so far, “And all the other businesspeople I’ve spoken to have been happy with the season.”
Mossel Bay Tourism’s Marcia Holm said that numbers of visitors to the information office are up on last year – although some of the pressure on the office in the CBD has been relieved by the opening of another info office in Great Brak River.
“Surveys conducted at both locations have revealed some interesting trends – most particularly, that the majority of people interviewed were traveling without children.
“Typically at this time of year – we conduct similar surveys every year – most respondents are travelling in families with two or three children.
“We think that the fact that we’re seeing increased numbers of couples without children at this time of year points to Mossel Bay’s growing reputation as the ‘Do stuff’ destination,” she said.
“People are looking at the town as much more than just a family holiday resort.”
Ms. Holm said that the largest number of respondents (39.7%) indicated that they had come to town for holidays of between one and five days; about a third (29.2%) for six to ten days; 11% for eleven to fourteen days; and 12.4% for fifteen to twenty one days. 7.6% of respondents were staying for more than three weeks.
“This indicates to us that holidaymakers find Mossel Bay affordable – which is always a factor in the selection of a holiday destination.”
She said that 31% of respondents indicated that they were staying in self-catering establishments; 16.3% with friends and relatives; 11.4% in guest houses and B&Bs; 6.5% in hotels; and 2.9% in backpackers’ accommodation.
9.4% were camping, and 7.3% of respondents were staying in their own holiday accommodation.
“This corresponds well with the spread of available accommodation in the town – which indicates that local businesspeople are doing the right thing when it comes to satisfying the demand at this time of year.”
26% of respondents were overseas visitors, and 74% came from South Africa
“Our largest domestic source markets were Gauteng (34%), the Free State (18%), the Western Cape (13%), and the Northern Cape (10%),” said Ms. Holm.
She said that while visitors mentioned problems with traffic flow around the shopping malls – particularly in Voorbaai – most of the comments received at the info office were positive.
“Many people complimented the Municipality on the neat, clean state of the town – and we also received many compliments on the efficiency of the Municipal officials,” she said.
Mornay Beukes, resort manager at the ATKV-Hartenbos – the largest self-catering establishment in the Western Cape – said that the season has been excellent for the resort.

It’s school again !!
Some of you may feel excited and others a little sad or even a bit scared.
It may be your first day at a new school which means, new teachers, new friends, new “stuff”.
Although you might already know some of the kids in your class it is a great day to make new friends. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did and so will your new friend.
Now what if you hate school by the end of day one ?
Give time to sort things out – but most importantly, make friends and always try your best.
School should be fun !
Die langgg somervakansie is verby en jy wonder hoe jy die kinders lus gaan kry vir skool. Dis ‘n stryd om hulle betyds wakker te kry en dan praat ons nie eens van huiswerk doen nie.
“Hou kop, hou koers en sterkte vir die jaar”.

WHATS FOR DINNER? Avo & Ham Salad with Raisin Vinaigrette
By BylineAdmin on January 20, 2015
Avo & Ham Salad with
15 ml wholegrain mustard
30 ml red wine vinegar
90 ml olive oil
15 ml brown sugar
salt and freshly-milled black pepper
125 ml Safari Seedless Raisins
1 x pillow bag of your favourite salad leaves
2 large, ripe avocados, cut into medium slices
250 ml mung bean sprouts
150 g best-quality Gypsy ham, sliced into thin strips
6 whole spring onions, sliced into julienne strips
65 ml coarsely-chopped mint leaves
to garnish: whole mint sprigs
Make the raisin vinaigrette first. In a medium screw-top jar place the mustard, vinegar, oil and sugar and then screw the top on. Shake the jar until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Remove the top of the jar, season the vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper, then add the raisins. Screw the top on again, shake a few times and then set aside for an hour or until the raisins are plump and juicy.
Now line a platter or individual salad dishes or bowls with the salad leaves. Sprinkle the avocado slices with lemon juice, arrange on top of the salad leaves and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the bean sprouts and ham on top of the salad, tuck in the spring onions strips and sprinkle with the chopped mint. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, garnish with whole mint sprigs and serve.
VUURWERKE STEEDS PROBLEEM ONDANKS VERBOD
By BylineAdmin on January 20, 2015
Hoewel vakansiegangers en inwoners in die algemeen oor die Feesseisoen goed saamgewerk het in meeste opsigte was dit nie die geval ten opsigte van vuurwerke nie, en is daar ondanks die munisipale verbod steeds orals vuurwerke afgevuur en sogenaamde Chinese lanterns gelanseer.
“Dit is ongelukkig baie moeilik om die afvuur van vuurwerke te polisieer weens die uitgestrekte kuslyn van Mosselbaai. Munisipale wetstoepassingsbeamptes het gewoonlik hul hande ekstra vol met verkeerbeheer, ensovoorts, op Oujaarsdagaande, en dit is jammer dat pleks van saam te werk daar steeds mense is wat die gebod eenvoudig ignoreer.
“Daar is goeie redes hoekom die verbod bestaan, onder meer oor die brandgevaar wat dit skep, mense se veiligheid en ook die nadelige invloed wat dit op troeteldiere, veral honde, het. Ongelukkig kan die Munisipaliteit nie ‘n verbod op die verkoop van vuurwerke plaas nie aangesien dit deur nasionale wetgewing gereguleer word, en lisensies daarvoor deur die SA Polisiediens uitgereik word”, sê die Munisipale Bestuurder, dr Michele Gratz.
Sy sê daar is tans vier besighede in Mosselbaai wat lisensies het om vuurwerke te verkoop, en dit steeds doen ongeag die verbod op die afvuur van die vuurwerke. .
“Dit is jammer dat besigheidseienaars nie hul weg oopsien om die probleem te help hokslaan nie, en steeds voort gaan om vuurwerke te verkoop ongeag die verbod op vuurwerke in die Mosselbaaise munisipale gebied.
“Dit blyk gelukkig dat die Wet op Plofstowwe tans onder hersiening is en baie strenger gemaak gaan word. Hopelik sal dit tot ‘n verbetering in die situasie in die toekoms lei. Ons doen nietemin ‘n beroep intussen op almal se samewerking, veral die van besighede wat vuurwerke verkoop,” het sy gesê.
Ingevolge die munisipale Verordening insake die Beheer van Vuurwerke mag vuurwerke nie binne die Mosselbaaise munisipale gebied afgevuur word nie tensy die skriftelike toestemming van die Munisipaliteit ten minste veertien dae voor die tyd verkry is nie, en dan ook net ten opsigte van ‘n gebied wat vir die doel goedgekeur is. Die aansoeker moet onder meer bewys lewer van voldoende publieke aanspreeklikheidsversekering.
Die lansering van Chinese lanterns is totaal verbode ingevolge die Verordening insake Gemeenskapsbrandveiligheid.

The long awaited whale signage boards have finally been installed in the greater Mossel Bay area, at various popular tourist points.
The Whale signage project was funded by MEP (Mossel Bay Environmental Partnership) and run by Kelly-Jane Peo and Kay Prinsloo (Pinnacle Conservation). The Pinnacle team decided on ‘whales of Mossel Bay’ as a focus point for this project, as these gentle giants are often ‘overlooked’ in the town of Mossel Bay.
Over several months Kelly-Jane and Kay visited various schools in the Mossel Bay area, to teach school learners about these majestic giants found in our waters. The environmental Educational outreaches reached just over a 1000 children in total. Pinnacle Conservation is hoping to inspire the next generation to take up the challenge of fighting to protect these iconic marine giants.
The other main component of the project was the design of whale educational signage boards as well as educational brochures, in order to reach more people through this project. The brochures were finalised and printed and finally let tourists know that Mossel Bay is definitely a whale watching destination worth putting down on your ‘must do list’. The brochure contains general information about the main three whale species namely: Southern Right; Humpback and Bryde’s whale, all found in Mossel Bay. It also has information about the original Whaling Station (that not a lot of people knew Mossel Bay had).
All signage can now be seen and enjoyed at the following sites along our Mossel Bay coastline: Great Brak (Suiderkruis); Little Brak (beach area); Hartenbos (beach area); De Bakke; Santos (slipway); Point (cave parking area) and Fransmanshoek (Boggomsbaai signage kiosk).
For more information about the signage or brochures, contact Kelly-Jane or Kay at Pinnacle Conservation on (044) 697 7044 or email: admin@pinnacleconservation.co.za •

2015 It’s a New Year and another 365 days lies ahead.
Like birds, let us leave behind what we don’t need to carry … pain, sadness, bitterness, fear and regrets.
Fly light – Life is short and precious !
If 2014 didn’t end up the way you planned … just remember …2015 is created specially for you to start afresh … enjoy every new moment !
Ons weet nie wat voorlê, maar wat maak dit saak as jy weet wie die weg en die rigting bepaal ?
God maak hoop, vrede, vreugde, sukses en liefde moontlik vir ons almal, ja ook vir die mense wat volgens die samelewing se gebruike en reëls nie inpas nie.
Elkeen van ons het ‘n doel hier op aarde.
Moenie jouself oordeel en soos ander wil wees nie. Wees positief, kerm en kla minder, luister meer, wees geduldig en dankbaar en lag meer !!
As die lewe druk, druk hom terug !
Het ons nie noual geleer, as jy lag, lag almal saam, maar as jy huil, huil jy alleen.
Wat kies jy ??
En so met ‘n skaterlag gaan ek dan die Nuwe Jaar in.
Ek is só reg vir dit wat kom!
