THE Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm donatedR254 300, including a car, to the On EaglesWings Multi-Purpose Centre in Pellsrus, Jef-freys Bay.
Founded by pastor Mercy Cwayi in 2005who experienced a traumatic childhood, andsupported by the Department of Social Devel-opment, the centre offers counselling, educa-tion and life skills to women and children ex-periencing domestic violence and rape. Thisis by no means a simple undertaking consid-ering that the community lacks sufficientsupport structures and is plaguedbydrug andalcohol abuse.“We are grateful to women like Cwayi who
take care of the many vulnerable women and
children in our communities. Their compas-sion and strength help lift up those who arein need of care,” says Marion Green-Thomp-son, Economic DevelopmentManager for Jef-freys Bay Wind Farm.“Ourdevelopmentprogrammeaims toposi-
tively impact the communities in JeffreysBay, Humansdorp, Hankey and Patensie are-as, with a particular focus on education andhealth.”Cwayi says: “We now have extra “legs” to
reach communitymembers and offer supportto domestic violence victims.”According to her there are exciting plans
in the pipeline for the centre. “We hope to es-tablish satellite branches in Patensie, Thorn-hill and Blomplaas, as well as to enable oursocial worker and trauma counsellor to visitcommunity members in those areas.
“We further dream of opening a house foryoung unwed pregnant mothers who havebeen cast off by their families - offering a safeplace and caring environment, while teach-ing them valuable skills to become independ-ent.”According to Social Development District
Manager Zandisile Tafeni, Government can-not deal with social ills on its own. “We havelimited resources, and are therefore gratefulto see companies like the Jeffreys Bay WindFarm giving back to the community.”

NAGMERRIEVERHALE oor ’n hondelewesonder sagte kussings laat troeteldier-eien-aars gewoonlik na hul asem snak van skok,ongeloof en woede.
Vir diegene by die Humansdorp Diere-be-skermingsvereniging is dit egter die hardewerklikheid waarmee hulle daagliks te doenkry. Soos onlangs toe ’n jaar-oue hond se pootmet ’n klip afgegooi is.
Om ’n DBV-inspekteur te wees, is nie virsissies nie. Dit sit beslis nie in enigeen sebroek om ‘n DBV-inspekteur te word nie - jymoet hare op jou tande en ‘n opregte passievir die-re hê. Dit is ’n werk van 24 uur, sewedae ’n week en 365 dae van die jaar.
Maar vir Mariska Herselman, Hu-mansdorp DBV-inspekteur, is dit deel vanhaar mens-wees. Sy ry die hele Kouga, Kou-kamma en Baviaans plat om diere in nood tegaan help. “Waar daar ’n dier is, moet onswees,” sê sy. “Maar die gebied wat ons dekis so groot, dat ons nie ten alle tye orals ’nhand kan hou nie.”
Herselman is sedert begin vanjaar by dieDBV in Humansdorp werksaam en woon opdie vereniging se perseel. Sy het voorheen byverskeie DBV-organisasies in die Oos- enWes-Kaap gewerk.
Volgens haar wou sy nog altyd met dieregewerk het, en toe sy die eerste keer die ad-vertensie van die DBV in die koerant gesien

die perseel in ’n dierehospitaal te omskep enhulle eie veearts in diens te neem. “Dit sal onsbaie geld en tyd bespaar.”
Herselman sê: “Ons by die DBV is die dierese stem. Om die dankbaarheid in ’n hond ofenige ander dier se oë te sien,maakal diemoei-like tye beter. Niks is lekkerder as om ’n posi-tiewe verskil in ’n dier se lewe te maak nie.”
Sy probeer elke dag nuut begin, maar ditis nie maklik nie. “Ek sal nooit aan al die
wreedheid gewoond kan raak nie, maar mettyd leer jy om dit beter te hanteer. Dit is diebeste om nie daaroor te dink nie, maar partydae huil ons nog lekker. Ek berus in die feitdat ek hier is in diens van hulle wat nie virhulself kan praat nie. Hopelik kan ek hulle ’nstem gee, sodat die mensdom se oë kan oop-gaan vir die wonder van lewe.”

het, het sy geweet dit is die werk vir haar.“Ek het al iets anders probeer doen, maar
kom elke keer terug na die DBV. Dit is soos ’nverslawing,” sê sy laggend. “Dit is nie net ’nwerk nie, dit is ’n leefstyl. Ek sal nooit weernet kan verby ry as ek ek ’n dier op die oop padsien nie, veral nie as die dier in nood is nie.
“Ek is mal oor diere en glo dat hulle regtehet. Danksy wetgewing hét diere regte enmense wat nie behoorlik na hul troeteldiereomsien nie, kan vasgevat word.”
Vir Herselman bly een van die grootsteuitdagings om mense te oortuig dat elke le-wende wese met respek behandel moet word- of dit nou ’n hond, kat, muis of olifant is.“Opvoeding in die verband, asook die nood-saaklikheid van sterilisasie vorm ’n integraledeel van my werk,” sê sy.
“Nog iets wat my aan die hart ruk is datmense so maklik hulle diere kan opgee. Daaris op die oomblik ver meer ongewenste diereas rondloperdiere by ons. Al die honde hierhet voorheen huis en familie van hulle eie ge-had. Kyk net waar sit hulle nou.”
Volgenshaarmoet ’n goeieDBV-inspekteurgoed kan kommunikeer, op haar voete dinken dadelik reageer sonder om paniekerig teraak, wat ook al die situasie. Dit help om Jobse geduld te hê en ’n sin vir humor.
Herselman en Tanya Keyzer fokus baie opinsamelingsprojekte om die Humansdorp-DBV uit te brei. Daar is op die oomblik 62hokke, 25 honde, 7 katte en ’n bok en donkie.Hulle groot droom is om die huidige huis op

’n Hond wat ure lank in ’n swembad vasge-keer was, is deur die Dierebeskermingsve-reniging (DBV) in Humansdorp gered.
Die hond se desperate gespartel om uit dieswembad te kom, het verlede Donderdag dieaandag van die bure in Bureaustraat getrektoe hulle besig was om wasgoed op te hang.
Volgens Geruis Jacobs, was die hond lang-er as twee ure in die swembad vasgekeer.
“Ek en Aronitia en Mario Williams hetrondom 09:45 wasgoed opgehang, toe ons ’ngeraas in die swembad langsaan hoor. Onshet eers gedink dit is iemand wat swem,maar het later onraad vermoed en oor diemuur gekyk. Dit is toe dat ons die nodelosegespartel van die hond sien,” vertel Jacobs.
“Ons het tevergeefs probeer om die honduit die swembad te red. Oorklim was nie ’nopsie nie, want daar is nog ’n hond op die per-seel wat baie kwaai is.
“Ons het die hond met ’n lyfplank wat aan’n tou vasgemaak is, probeer uittrek en selfs’n lang geut en swembadbesem ingespan -maar alles sonder enige sukses.”
Hulle het die Humansdorp DBV gebel omte kom help.
Inspekteur Mariska Herselman en Des-mond Dous is dadelik na die toneel..
Die hond was baie bang en aggressief en
het die heeltyd geknor. Herselman en Douskon daarin slaag om ’n lus om die hond selyf te sit en hy was binne 10 minute weer opdroë aarde.
Behalwe vir skok was die hond andersinsongedeerd.

Geyser Management Project in Kouga Local MunicipalityFacts and Fiction

Why does Kouga Local Municipality support this project?The municipality must comply with national regulations that were implemented in 2012, which require municipalities to implement remote controltechnology controlling electrical loads, such as geysers. By means of this project, the Kouga Local Municipality will comply with the regulations.If peak demand can be reduced, the existing capacity of the electricity supply network will be used more efficiently - simply because consumerswould be using what is already available, without the need for additional power to be generated.This would make load shedding less likely - andif the load needs to be reduced (due to overloading on the national grid), it may be possible to avoid blackouts by only switching off the geysers.
How does this project work?
This is a load shift project, meaning that the load that would have been used at a certain time (in this case between 18:00 and 20:00 on weekdays)will be shifted to a different time (after 20:00) when there is less strain on the Eskom national grid. The project is based on a megawatt value thatwill be moved by switching off 6 200 geysers in the Kouga area.
Where will the geyser units be installed?Qualified technicians, with Kouga Local Municipality, Eskom and Escotek Enterprises identification cards will visit homes in Humansdorp,Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis to install the units. The following areas will be visited:
• Jeffreys Bay • Paradise Beach • Aston Bay • Kruisfontein • Humansdorp• St Francis Bay • Cape St Francis • Pellsrus • Ocean View
Should I switch off my geyser manually?
A request to the public to help make this project a success: if you do switch off your geyser manually in the morning and back on after returningfrom work in the afternoon, switch it on as soon as possible after arriving home to allow the geyser to heat the water for use between 18:00 and20:00. If you do switch it off again in the evening, allow some time after 20:00 to heat the replacement hot water.
What happens if Iam not at home during the day?
The technician will leave a not-at-home card with a Call Centre number so that you can phone us to install at a time when it is convenient to you.We usually do not install at night due to security reasons.
Who funds the project?
The project is funded by the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) through Eskom. The relays are paid for by NERSA throughEskom and are installed free of charge.
How long does installation take?
A typical installation takes 20-30 minutes.
