Doc celebrates 90th birthday paragliding TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS Paragliding instructor Stephan Kruger and Dr Hymie Ehrlich moments after landing.
ge is but a number. And Dr Hymie Ehrlich is proof of this as he spent his 90th birthday on Monday 13 January paragliding. Ehrlich, a former resident of Goodwood, says the offer came as a surprise to him. This was his third paragliding experience, which he says just gets better. “I never expected to be paragliding for my 90th birthday, but it was and always is a wonderful experience. Fly Cape Town Paragliding decided to gift me with the experience which I am especially grateful for. “The flight was scheduled for 11:00, but we had to wait a bit more than an hour as the wind had to pick up before we could take off. “The first time I went up was at the age of 86. And it just keeps getting better. I enjoy the freedom it offers and the fresh air,” says Ehrlich. “The views of the buildings are beautiful, but it was the movement of cars and people walking which was more interesting for me.” The flight, which takes off on Signal Hill, took about seven to 15 minutes. Ehrlich’s family awaited him at the landing ground in Sea Point. He says the paragliding instructor, Stephan Kruger, asked if he should do a trick in the air, but Ehrlich declined the offer saying, “No, thank you. I’m fine.” He says the remainder of his birthday was spent with family. Ehrlich currently resides in Sea Point but runs a practice in Bellville. “I’ve been practising in Bellville for 10 years, after being in Goodwood for 54 years. The best advice I can give to people is don’t stop working if you can contribute to making a difference in someone’s life.” Ehrlich, who was married for 60 years, has two children, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. “On days like today, family is important and I’m happy mine chose to spend it with
me. I miss my wife Annette so much, but she passed on five years ago. I’m sure she would’ve been proud of the experiences I’ve

Buite Ekspo skud vere reg Die 19de kykNET Buite Ekspo vind vanjaar op die plaas Môreson langs die N7, net 10 km buite Malmesbury, gedurende die naweek van 14 tot 16 Februarie plaas. Verlede jaar het dié gewilde geleentheid meer as 20 000 besoekers gelok, wat dit die grootste ekspo van sy soort in die WesKaap maak. Die ekspo is hoofsaaklik gemik op buitelewe- en relevante uitstallings en beloof om die nuutste in hierdie veld aan besoekers te bied. Uitstallers bly dan ook die hele naweek op hul uitstalterreine en rig hulself so in dat die publiek eerstehands kan ervaar hoe die produkte funksioneer. Alle uitstalterreine het toegang tot krag, water en badkamergeriewe. Tesame met die uitstallings word ook lekker pretaktiwiteite vir die hele gesin
aangebied. André de Villiers van Safari 4x4 Roetes bied gratis Amarok 4x4-hindernisritte aan. Dan is daar veldmotorfiets- en vierwielfietsvertonings en -ritte, asook helikopterritte. Maak ook seker om nie die kykNET Buite Ekspo se verjaarsdagjol – aangebied deur Jimmy’s Steakhouse Sauces met kykNET-sepiesterre – mis te loop nie. Daar word gedurende die naweek verskeie interessante kompetisies en aktiwiteite aangebied – onder meer ’n kunsmark en splinternuwe Swartland-Wyntuin, wat wyn en eetgoed sal verkoop. Daar is vanjaar selfs meer gekeurde kosverskaffers om aan almal se smaak te voldoen. Daar is ook ’n Castle Light-kroeg en -biertuin en ’n baie gewilde “slush”-tuin om almal se dors te les.
Die kykNET Buite Ekspo is nie ’n musiekfees nie, maar daar kan uitgesien word na optredes deur ’n paar uitstekende kunstenaars – onder andere Amore, Nadia Louw, Desmond Wells, Pieter Smith, Joe F, Cheree, Wicus van der Merwe, Megan Danner, Wynand Windpomp, Sam en Calla en Melo3, Suid-Afrika se splinternuwe “girl band”. Bring gerus die kinders saam – daar sal meer as genoeg wees vir hulle om in die pretpark te doen. Maak ook seker om nie Sondag die Lollos-vertoning mis te loop nie.

Feestyd nie sonder misdaad RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
ie feestyd het gekom en gegaan, maar buiten die feestelikheid wat gewoonlik daarmee gepaardgaan, is daar ook in dié tyd ’n reeks misdade gepleeg. In die Parow-gebied is ’n toename in roofvoorvalle aangeteken. Lt.kol. Kobus van Dyk, Parow-polisiewoordvoerder, sê hierdie misdrywe vind normaalweg plaas wanneer mense op pad werk toe is, en kom veral in Parow-Oos, Voortrekkerweg en naby die treinspoor
voor. “ ’n Ander verskynsel is dat pendelaars in minibus-taxi’s beroof word wanneer hulle alleen reis. Passasiers word versoek om kennis te neem van die taxi se registrasienommer alvorens hulle inklim,” waarsku Van Dyk. Hy sê ’n paar mense is al in hegtenis geneem in verband met dié misdrywe. Misdaad wat verband hou met die diefstal van eiendom uit motors is ook steeds volop. Dit is grootliks omdat waardevolle artikels of eiendom steeds deur die eienaars in voertuie agtergelaat word. Daar was ook ’n toe-
name in diefstal van motors, veral by sentrums en in Voortrekkerweg, sê Van Dyk. “Eienaars moet verseker dat hul voertuie behoorlik gesluit is voor hulle die voertuig verlaat.” Nog ’n misdaad wat in die feestyd kop uitgesteek het, is die diefstal van die elektriese motors van motorhekke, veral in die Glenlily- en Churchill Estate-gebiede. Van Dyk sê hulle het reeds ’n verdagte in dié verband geïdentifiseer. Volgens Van Dyk is ’n paar mense ook in die feestyd in hegtenis geneem in verband met dwelms en dronkbestuur.
Pa verheug nadat seun terugkeer RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj ’n Pa van Parow sê hy is verheug nadat sy seun, wat einde verlede jaar as vermis aangemeld is, veilig na sy huis teruggekeer het. Stefan Albertyn Greyling (39) is op Maandag 2 Desember deur die nie-regeringsorganisasie Pink Ladies as vermis aangemeld nadat hy sy ouerhuis op Saterdag 30 November verlaat het (“Pa op soek na vermiste seun”, 11/12). Hendrik “Dirk” Greyling, sy pa, het verlede week egter aan TygerBurger gesê dat sy seun op Vrydag 20 Desember – drie weke later – teruggekeer het nadat hy ’n draai in Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap gaan maak het. “Hy was dus die hele tyd uitstedig, maar was beslis nie op ’n ‘joy ride’ nie. Hy het deur die Here se genade voorvalle beleef wat hom nuwe hoop vir die lewe gegee het.

“Hy het ten spyte van al die misdaad geen negatiewe ervarings gehad nie en ongedeerd hier opgedaag,” sê Dirk, ’n inwoner van Wrenchstraat, Glenlily in Parow. Dirk het almal wat aan die soektog deelgeneem het, bedank vir hul hulp en ondersteuning. “Ek wil net baie dankie sê aan almal wat ’n poging aangewend het om te help en bowenal wat vir sy veiligheid gebid het. Aaan die Here die eer! “Ek kan nie beskryf hoe dankbaar en verlig ek was toe ek hom weer gesien het nie. Ek kan nou iets verstaan van wat ouers moet voel wanneer ’n kind of selfs ’n ander familielid verdwyn.” Stefan is sy enigste kind. “Ons albei het lesse geleer soos om mekaar meer te waardeer en om ten spyte van die nood in ons leefwêreld met aandag te probeer luister na wat die ander een werklik wil sê. Maar soos almal weet, dis makliker gesê as gedaan.
Stefan Albertyn Greyling. “Baie dankie aan almal wat op een of ander manier betrokke was en veral vir diegene wat vir hom en ons gebid het,” sê Dirk.
Model not put off by rare skin condition NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
ast year a woman walked up to Chad Esau and said she would pray for his skin to turn back to normal. Esau (22) smiled politely and then prayed for the opposite. “It was that moment that I realised I’m not that young boy who used to pray for my (skin condition) to go away. Esau, from Bellville-South, has come a long way from being bullied as a young boy. These days he’s a part-time model and is vying for the title of Mr South Africa 2020 and hopes to inspire everyone who is a little different. Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes the loss of skin colour in blotches. Michael Jackson famously tried to hide any signs of the illness, while Winnie Harlow became a top model with her unique beauty. Esau’s Vitiligo started when he was bet-
ween 5 and 6 years old. “I didn’t know what it was called at that time because the internet wasn’t as informative as it is right now. I always thought it’s “wit lewer” (white liver), that’s what people called it growing up.” When he became a teenager he received his first phone and discovered the condition is called Vitiligo. He always felt self-aware about the condition, but with time he started accepting it. “I can’t picture myself without my Vitiligo,” he says. “I learned that it never mattered what people say about me growing up, it’s always been what I tell myself.” Esau works as a barista at GrandWest and this is how his modelling career took off. He was working the night shift when a scout asked whether he wanted to start modelling. “I said yes because it is something I wanted to do.” Esau put motivational sticky notes on his wall with things he wanted to achieve and coincidentally he was focusing on a sticky note about becoming a model that specific morning. His decision to enter Mr South Africa is one that suddenly popped into his head. “I told myself ‘no that’s ridiculous, why would I wanna do modelling as big as Mr South Africa 2020’?” But later he changed his mind. “Why can’t I do this? I’ve always been a role model for family and friends growing up.” Modelling has given him a platform to inspire more people and speak to those who are a bit different or who are bullied. “I’m with an anti-bullying campaign called Brave Heart, which focuses on stopping bullying in schools and the work environment. “At the end of the day we are all imperfect, but also perfect at the same time. “Because if we weren’t needed in this world we wouldn’t be here. We are all imperfectly perfect.” V To vote for Chad in the Mr South Africa contest, SMS the word MRSA74 to 40439 (at R2 a SMS) or via Zapper. More information is available on the Mr South Africa 2020 Facebook and Instagram page as well as on Chad’s Instagram page (chad_carlton_esau). V Supporters are asked to vote as many times as possible.

‘Onmusikale’ man bou konsertmarimba tuis NIELEN DE KLERK
daar nie regtig volop hulpmiddels om ’n konsertmarimba in ’n Suid-Afrikaanse omgewing te bou nie. En ’n konsertmarimba is baie meer kompleks as ’n gewone marimba. Dit het onder meer vyf oktawe en 61 note. Dirk moes ’n klomp verskillende faktore in berekening hou toe hy die marimba gebou het – van die tipe hout wat beskikbaar is, tot hoe die note gesny moet word sodat dit die vorm en kurwe het om die regte noot te speel. Boonop het die resonator (boks) ’n groot invloed op die klank. Sy seun, Simon (wat ook ’n ingenieur is en in toegepaste wiskunde spesialiseer), het selfs ingespring om ’n rekenaarprogram te skryf wat die proses vergemaklik. Dirk het ’n spesiale apparaat gekoop wat die klank opneem en toe met behulp van Simon se program die note se toonhoogtes bepaal en aangepas. In Desember verlede jaar het Dirk die marimba-speler Dylan Tabisher genooi om die instrument te beproef, juis omdat hy nie self kan speel nie. Dirk se dogter, Petro Wagner, sê dit was ’n ongelooflike ervaring om te sien hoe iemand die instrument gebruik en te hoor hoe mooi dit klink. Dirk sê hierdie is ’n “eksperimentele marimba” en wil graag weer een bou, veral met al die kennis wat hy intussen opgedoen het. Die jare lange proses het hom egter nog nie geïnspireer om self ’n instrument te begin speel nie. “Ek is glad nie musikaal nie,” sê hy. Hy het ’n paar maande lank musiek geneem totdat sy onderwyseres hom betaal het om op te hou, spot hy. Nee, vir Dirk sal die komplekse berekeninge en bouwerk die grootste uitdaging wees.
@nielendk Party mense beskou visvang as die perfekte ding om mee te ontspan; ander versamel muntstukke as ’n stokperdjie. Dirk Streicher (61) van Eversdal is nie een van daardie mense nie. Die perfekte uitdaging vir hom is om ’n konsertmarimba te bou – met al die nodige komplekse wiskundige uitdagings wat daarmee gepaardgaan. En dit is sonder dat hy self enige instrumente bespeel. Dirk, wat as ’n siviele ingenieur opgelei is, is gewoond aan ’n lewe met ’n mengelmoes van uitdagings en belangstellings. Hy is onder meer betrokke by eiendomsontwikkeling, brandnavorsing by die Universiteit Stellenbosch en die verkoop van kompressors. Jare lank het hy ook spesialisskrynwerkery beoefen. Dit was daarom nie juis vir sy naastes ’n groot verrassing toe hy aankondig hy wil ’n konsertmarimba bou nie. Hy het hoeka eintlik kort tevore ’n kontrabas klaar gebou. “My suster (die kunsjoernalis Elretha Britz) is in die musiekbedryf,” vertel hy. Britz se dogter, Zanelle, is lid van die Kaapse Filharmoniese Orkes, waar sy kontrabas speel. Sowat vier jaar gelede het hy binne ’n jaar vir haar ’n kontrabas gebou. “Toe sy suster met hom praat oor die perkussielesse wat sy neem, het sy genoem ’n kennis is op soek na ’n konsertmarimba. Dit sou maklik wees, het Dirk gereken, en besluit om sommer self een te bou. Dit was toe meer van ’n uitdaging as wat hy ooit kon raai en dié instrument het hom ’n volle drie jaar besig gehou. In teenstelling met ’n kontrabas was

Kinderboekskrywer bied gewilde skryfkursus aan Die kinderboekskrywer Marianna Brandt gaan weer in Februarie haar gewilde skryfkursus aanbied. Brandt is die skrywer van onder meer
die Emma-reeks en Poppie-Dot se verhale. Met vorige kursusse het sy talle suksesvolle skrywers help oplei, onder andere Elizbe van der Colff, Noreen Nolte, De Wet Hugo, Troula Goosen, Jolene du Toit, Gloudine Kellerman en Anika Molnar. Die kursus strek oor drie dae in Februarie en die presiese datum en plek sal nog bevestig word. “Begin nou,” sê sy. “Daar is geen ouderdom aan jou talent gekoppel nie. “Jy kan ’n mooi boek vir jou kleinkinders nalaat. “Dink net, jy het nie eens nodig om af te tree uit hierdie unieke en opwindende beroep nie. “Jy kan net elke oomblik van jou skryfwerk geniet en dan sien hoe jou lesers dit ook geniet en waardeer.” Brandt sê die kursus bied alles wat jy nodig het om enige kinder- of jeugboek te skryf – “rillers, fantasie, wetenskapfiksie, romans, spookstories en ook talle van die nuwe neigings.” Kursusgangers sal leer waar om idees te kry en hoe om dit te gebruik om ’n volwaardige boek te skryf. “Jy sal leer hoe om die storielyn te beplan en hoe om die slaggate te vermy.” Belangstellendes kan Brandt per e-pos kontak by brandtmarianna@gmail.com vir meer inligting en om te bespreek.
Emergency strap to help in times of need RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
Richwood resident and graphic designer, Olivia Viglatzis, has launched a new customised emergency strap to help during an emergency. The strap folds around seat belts, a baby seat and backpack strap and has details of the driver, baby or school going child – these include the name and surname of the individual, an emergency contact and medical aid details. “All of this came to mind one evening when I was driving to the shop and thought to myself, ‘what would happen if I was to be in an accident? How would the emergency services know who to contact? And so it all started,” Viglatzis explains. They also decided to make the strap avail-
able for school backpacks. “School children get injured and no one knows who to contact,” Viglatzis adds. According to her the idea started small and they hope they can someday grow it into a business. “We started in November and we have only done things via Facebook so far, so we are really still small.” The business has gained some momentum through word of mouth. Viglatzis hopes to approach medical aid companies to get involved. “We will be marketing it ourselves for now as each of the emergency straps are individually made for that particular person’s needs.” The straps can be ordered and mailed to anywhere in the country.

‘Cigarette butts’ serve as warning SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121
A unique and quirky art installation aimed at creating awareness around an unknown plastic pollutant and its risk has hit beaches and popular attractions around the country. The Kiickbutt initiative was initiated more than a year ago but gained momentum over the last month. The initiative is aimed at simulating the magnitude of damage created by irresponsible disposal of the cigarette butts and what animals encounter as they come across the butts in nature. The 19 life-sized butts are created from decommissioned telephone poles, spray-painted to resemble cigarette butts. Clive Amsel, WRAPP CEO, installation artist and environmentalist, says many people do not realise the cigarette butts are made of plastic and are one of National Geographic’s top listed plastic pollutants in the world. While they may look like white cotton, the basis of most cigarette filters is a plastic named cellulose acetate, which can take up to 10 years to fully decompose. The environmental risk is increased in the fact that filters are designed to absorb the contaminants in cigarettes and prevent them from going into the lungs. These contaminants include cadmium, arsenic and lead which are then released into waterways or ingested by animals. “We chose areas that are environmentally sensitive, but also areas where people tend to smoke and leave their butts,” says Amsel. “As you walk along the beach or take
a hike anywhere in the country, you will find cigarette butts scattered all over the place.” Amsel recently also collected a 2L bottle full of butts while hiking up the Platteklip Gorge trail. The identified areas included Lion’s Head, Llandudno, Table View, Scarborough, Fish Hoek, Platteklip Gorge, Kommetjie and Umhlanga beaches, Tokai, Zeekoevlei and the Cederberg mountains. The installation is funded by WRAPP waste who were motivated to get involved through their passion for responsible waste removal. Amsel says the installation will be around until June and move to other locations, weather dependent. “It seems like a small thing but it has a butterfly effect, a lot of small things add up to a big problem,” says Amsel. Another area of focus is the CBD, as Amsel says many drivers discard of their butts on sidewalks and out car windows. “This enters the stormwater systems, goes out to sea and affects our marine life and shellfish. We end up eating that,” he says. The butts have already caused a stir and Amsel hopes it will change people’s minds about irresponsible disposal of their cigarette butts. It is estimated that 18 million cigarettes are smoked around the world daily. “We are not educating people against smoking, but rather to discard butts in a dust bin or controlled environment.” Aside from the toxicity, the butts also pose a major fire risk.

or many the words in the Bible are selfexplanatory. Verses like “whoever has ears, let them hear” or “if you declare with your mouth...you will be saved” are so commonplace, many don’t think twice when reading it. For a deaf person this is a completely different experience, says Dr Rocco Hough, who helped put together the English Bible for the Deaf (EBD), which the Bible Society of South Africa released at the end of last year. Hough, who was a reverend at the De la Bat Dutch Reformed Church for the deaf in Bellville for over 30 years, was directly in-
volved with both translations, along with Elmien Roux, a retired teacher who used to work at the De la Bat School for the Deaf in Worcester. Helping them were scores of academics and deaf people, making this a translation developed with the deaf, for the deaf. The EBD follows the runaway success of The Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf of 2008 (now also known as the Bible for All), the first Afrikaans Bible for the deaf. The EBD is aimed at people who were born deaf and could not learn a language in an auditory way.
Necessity Hough says he was challenged to do the English translation of the Bible for the Deaf while in Kenya about 11 years ago. A pastor there said they were struggling to understand the English Bible for the Deaf they were using at the time. When he looked at the Bible himself, he saw about 50 words in the first chapter of the Bible that the average deaf person wouldn’t understand. There was a great need for a text-based Bible for the deaf in English, Hough realised. And as he knew only too well from translating the Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf, most of the existing Bible is too difficult for a deaf person to understand. “The mother tongue of the deaf is Sign Language, a very difficult language for hearing people to learn, and likewise, difficult for deaf people to understand written language as we find it in our Bibles.” A hearing impairment normally leads to language impairment. “Deaf children cannot learn a language in a normal way, and in the past deaf children were sent to a school for the deaf at the age of 3 where they had to learn a language in a specialised way.” Even though they have normal intelligence, the average reading ability of an adult de-
Dr Rocco Hough and his wife, Jean. Hough says Jean has been a big help in the process of putting together a more readable Bible for the deaf.. af person is that of an eight-year-old-hearing child. This creates a large barrier when trying to read something like the Bible. Added to this is the fact that the Bible is filled with idioms, which is something that is acquired by speaking a language over time and not something deaf people learn automatically.
Translation The translation of EBD officially started in 2011 and the text was completed after about five years. “After (this) it was tested, the development of all the footnotes and illustrations, the page layout, and then it was printed in China, who has the largest and most modern Bible printing press.” Two source experts Prof Bart Oberholzer
and Prof Hermie van Zyl helped with this translation. After Oberholzer’s death, Dr Tiana Bosman took over. Hough says this Bible is ideal for groups of people wanting to read an easy translation, like Christians in countries like Pakistan and India. “There is such a big need for a Bible like this and I’m grateful we could finish it,” Hough says. Hannerie Swart, development manager at the National Institute for the Deaf (NID), says it’s special that the deaf can receive the word of God in an easily understandable way. “It supports deaf accessibility and inclusivity.” VThe Bible is available at Cum Books or at the Bible Society of South Africa.
