Volkspod – Dit lyk soos ‘n Kewer-larwe!

Die geliefde Volkswagen Kewer met sy unieke bakvorm is onlosmaaklik deel van die motorwêreld. Aangewys as Motor van die Eeu is daar meer as 21 miljoen vervaardig tussen 1938 en 2003. Daar is dus nie ‘n tekort aan Kewers op ons paaie nie, ook nie juis ‘n tekort aan parte nie. Om Kewer parte op te sny en vir iets anders te gebruik is seker iets wat Kewer-liefhebbers en puriste met afgryse sal vervul, tog bring hierdie klein motorfietsie ooglopend hulde aan sy oorspronklike herkoms!

Die ontwerper is Brent Walter van Indiana in die VSA, wat self ‘n liefde vir die ou Kewers het. Tydens die restourasie van een van sy Kewers was ‘n paar modderskerms oor. Dié het hy gebruik om sy sweiswerk op die dun metaal te oefen. Die modderskerms kom mooi bymekaar, kompleet met plek vir die Kewer voor- en agterlig. Net daar is die idee gebore om ‘n klein motorfietsie te bou wat hy kon saamneem na die klassieke Volkswagen Motorskoue.

Die naam van die fietsie is die Volkspod, afgelei van sy vorm. Die stillering is eenvoudig gehou, rond, met ‘n Schwinn sitplek en wye handvatsels wat herhinder aan die fietse van die sestigs. Selfs die VW kenteken het behoue gebly. Onder die bakwerk is ‘n klein selfgeboude motorfietsie, basies ‘n raam, twee wiele en ‘n 79cc enjin wat jy algemeen in tuin implemente kry. Ook die verf is oorspronklik gehou, Berk Groen. Die gewildheid van die gedoente het Brent Walter heel onkant gevang. Gou is hy gevra om ‘n tweede model te bou. Dié motorfiets, in Pastel Blou, was toegerus met ‘n 212cc enjin en groter wiele wat die ryery op gras by motorskoue baie vergemaklik het.

Brent se Instagram wys hoe hy die fietsie gebou het. Sedertdien het verskeie weergawes al op die internet verskyn, insluitend Minion en Herbie weergawes. Ek is seker dat hierdie ontwerp selfs die kewer se ontwerper, Ferdinand Porsche, se goedkeuring sou wegdra. Lank lewe die Kewer en die nuwe Volkspod larwes!

Specialised jetski will get to drowning people quicker

George Fire and Rescue has recently added a specially modified rescue jetski to its fleet to complement its water rescue capabilities.

George Fire Chief Neels Barnard said the watercraft had been modified to withstand breaking wave conditions and was fitted with a rescue sled. “The 1800cc two-man jetski can get to a drowning person much quicker than rubber dinghies or boats that must be launched, and can manoeuvre around rocky areas where swimming rescuers may not be able to access without endangering themselves.”

Lifeguards crew leader Rico Koen (left) and firefighter Johan Troskie will be manning the municipality’s specialised jetski this summer.

The craft is designed to hold two rescuers: one to operate the jetski and support the rescue from the craft while the other jumps into the water and transfer the drowning person onto the sled. The rescue sled can be strapped to the jetski and the rescuer can continue to help the patient from the back of the craft.

The jetski will be stationed at the busiest beaches this holiday season and will service all six of the municipalities’ beaches and lagoons as is necessary.

Rescue personnel have been specially trained to manoeuvre and use the powerful machine.

Raising of Garden Route Dam: Practical Completion Achieved
George Municipality today confirmed the successful Practical Completion of the raising of the Garden Route Dam Wall and the spillway construction which started on 13 May this year. Practical Completion is achieved when the works are considered fit for intended purpose, although all minor works may not be fully completed. For this significant project, the earthworks and concrete works had to be completed to be considered practically functional. Minor re-instatement works are still taking place, but the decision has been made that the site will be open to the public from Saturday 15 December 2019.Executive Mayor Naik reiterated his comments made at the official site opening in June this year when he thanked all the roleplayers involved in the successful Practical Completion. “We remain excited that this is a unique project design and a first for George and the Western Cape. Our ability to increase the storage capacity of our precious resource of water is a positive step in the continued development of George. The early and successful practical completion of this project is commendable. I also urge everyone to continue to use our most threatened natural resource, water, sparingly and wisely. 2B Water Restrictions remain in place for George and surrounds,” said Ald Naik.In order to complete the construction the dam level had to be kept below 75% and when measured on Monday 9th December it stood at 71.54%. Thankfully water only needed to be drawn down in the first few weeks. The dam’s full supply level has been raised by 2.5 metres, which increases the total storage capacity of the dam by approximately 25%. The old crest weir height was 179,94m with a dam capacity of about 10.0 million cubic metres. The new spillway weir height is 182,5m with a storage capacity of 12,5 million cubic metres. The new spillway is approximately 80m in length and varies between 3.7m to 4.7m in height (above existing ground levels) and approximately 400 to 600mm thick at the top of the new spillway wall.The municipality has completed a series of controlled burns to clear alien vegetation in those areas that pose a fire risk surrounding the dam site, with a further burn planned in February 2020 in the area directly surrounding the dam wall area (subject to weather conditions). The planned Cape Agency for Sustainable Integrated Development in Rural Areas (CASIDRA) managed alien vegetation clearing operation for a width of approximately 50m along the stream edge of the Kat and Swart River systems upstream of the dam is expected to start in early 2020.Members of the public are reminded that this area was a major construction site and there may still be areas which require additional rehabilitation work. Use of the area will be solely at the risk of the public, and visitors are requested to proceed cautiously until the site is formally presented back to the Municipality. Newly constructed works should be avoided at all times, and no children or adults must climb onto or over the works.The municipality sincerely thanks the residents for their patience during the construction period and for adhering to the restrictions as this allowed construction to continue without undue interruption and additional safety, financial and program risks. Any feedback or further enquiries from the public can be referred to Gvanniekerk@george.gov.zaPhotographs: Adrian Van Molendorff

The race falls within the approved SWD athletics calendar. She said it is such a joyful event and she would like to invite locals and visitors  to bring the family and partake in this event.In 2016 the race was named after Elroy Gelant, a local athlete hailing from Pacaltsdorp, in honour of him becoming an olympic athlete in that year. With the development of the sport of athletics in mind it was deemed important to present to the younger athletes a role model to whom they can look up to. Elroy Gelant is a renowned international athlete. His passion for the development of local athletics and his national and international success made it the logical choice for his personal involvement in this initiative. As the race evolved, it became known as the Pacaltsdorp Night Race and Gelant who is currently training overseas is involved in the event when he is in George.“It takes place in the heart of the holiday season and will provide the opportunity for local sellers and entrepreneurs to market and sell their goods. This event has the potential to develop into a major tourist attraction or festival, not only for Pacaltsdorp, but also for the entire George municipal area,” Botha said.The Municipality has been involved in the race since 2015.The time for registration starts at 14:00 at the parking area of the Traffic Department, Mission Street, Pacaltsdorp and there will be no earlier registration process.  The race starts at 18:00 at the Traffic Department.The route starts at the Traffic Department in Mission Street, Pacaltsdorp, left into East Street, left in Foundry Street, left in Poplar Street, right in Kerk Street, left in Beach Road, pass the robot to Heather Road, left in Heather Road, left in Agter Street, right into Kloof, left into Kloof Street, left into Oos Street, left in to Mission Street and ending  at the Traffic Department. The cost for the 8km race is R50 and for the 4km walk R30.

TRANSENDURO VISITS GEORGE
Seven different groups of which were runners, cyclists and boatsmen from the Military Academy set off from George and Wilderness for the next stage of the annual TransEnduro this morning (3 December 2019). The students handed over a token of appreciation to George Councillor for Community Social Development and Sport, Sean Snyman on behalf of Ald Melvin Naik. Snyman thanked the Military for choosing George as their preferred destination for this trip and as it is World Disability Awareness Day, he mentioned the fact that they are lucky to be healthy and privileged to be taking part in this event. He wished them the best for their journey on their way to Saldanha and handed over a letter of goodwill from the George Mayor that will be handed to the Stilbaai Mayor, after which the cyclists and runners were on their way. A group of the Military stayed behind to do charity work in Thembalethu. Major Beverley Geldenhuys thanked the city for its hospitality and handed a letter of goodwill and a 2020 diary from the Bitou Municipality, the team’s previous stop, to Cllr Snyman.
