Villagers take advantage of E -waste program
Brenda Radford
Special to the News
School's out and I'm
hearing reports of chil-
dren enjoying a variety of
sports, heading off to
vacation Bible school and
camping experiences and
soaking up the sun around
backyard pools now that
the heat is finally here.
Let's be aware of their
presence on village streets
as they do what children
should do, enjoy being
young and active.
The village has a new
resident we will be looking
out for in years ahead.
Andrew Gerald Neeb will
always be having a party
on Canada's birthday.
Only he'll call it his birth-
day. Welcome to Andrew
and congratulations to
parents Michael and
Andrea.
Thirty years ago who
would have thought gar-
bage would be such a big
issue? Municipalities have
struggles with landfill
sites for years now and
various tactics have been
tried to satisfy govern-
ment recommendations
and taxpayers. We all want
the best of these services
but with no rise in taxes or
inconvenience. Recycling
seems to be working to
some degree but folks
need to be vigilant about
the various ways to get rid
of items not considered
regular household
garbage.
A few weeks back there
was an E -Waste recycling
in the village that was well
used. And one Saturday
since then Townsend Tire
accepted used tires at
their location as part of a
government initiative to
keep these tires out of the
ditches and bushes in
rural areas. Our business
took advantage of this
recycling. Otherwise the
disposal of any tire at a
landfill site is costly.
Hell South Africa!
As I sit here in the airport
waiting to board the plane
for my fifth trip to South
Africa, it occurs tome that I
have told you about the
people, the food, the poli-
tics but I have not told you
about all the wonderful
things to see and do there
as a visitor.
So, for my final install-
ment I thought you might
enjoy hearing about some
of the sights to see and
things to do if you visit this
amazing country.
Cape Town is the abso-
lute jewel of South Africa.
An amazingly cosmopoli-
tan city, it is clean and
offers some of the best res-
taurants in the world along
with world-class theatre
and entertainment.
This was the original
Dutch colony in South
Africa as is evidenced by
the plethora of Dutch colo-
nial architecture found in

this beautiful city.
The Victoria and Albert
Waterfront is an amazing
mixture of outdoor market,
tourist attraction, cultural
and entertainment centre
and the city is rich with cul-
tural and historical
landmarks.
High on the list of must
do's is the Robben Island
tour. A short boat ride takes
you to this very small
island, which was originally
used as a leper colony but
was later converted to a
prison.
It is here in a cell approx-
imately four inches by six
inches that Nelson Man-
dela was imprisoned for
much of his 27 year
sentence.
The tours are conducted
by ex -inmates (most of
them political prisoners),
which
adds a whole other
dimension of realism to it.
Seeing the lime pits where
Mandela toiled day in and
day out without any kind of
equipment to protect
against the corrosive lime,
makes the fact that he lived
to the age of 94 a testament
to the strength and forti-
tude of the man.
In this area of South
Africa there is a complete
floral kingdom known as
the "Cape Floral Kingdom".
The world is made up of
only six floral kingdoms
and this tiny one at the
southern tip of Africa is by
far the smallest but it is
extremely diverse and con-
tains all of the world's Fyn-
bos vegetation.
It is here in Cape Town
that you will find the spec-
tacular Kirstenbosch Gar-
dens. This botanical garden
displays amazing examples
of sub-Saharan vegetation
and is immaculately main-
tained. Absolutely
beautiful.
Its new "Boomslang" sky -
walk (named for a type of
snake) is an absolute must
do! This human catwalk
through the treetops is
shaped like a serpent and
moves and sways to give an
absolutely unique experi-
ence. Perfectly camou-
flaged in the treetops it is a
marvel of both art and
architecture.
Before you leave the
Cape Town area, you will
want to do the cable car
ride up to the top of Table
Mountain. This distinctive,
flat-topped mountain is
South Africa's most famous
t• PUBLIC MEETING

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of

Additional information will be made available at no

landmark.
It is very unique. Not
particularly high but dis-
tinctive in shape, a cable
car will take you to the top
(or you can hike up if you
are so inclined) where you
can enjoy a meal or a hike
while taking in panoramic
views of the city and sur-
rounding countryside.
Well, at least on a clear
day you can. Table Moun-
tain is famous for its
unique fog, which often
shrouds the top of the
mountain. It is really spec-
tacular to see it. It is
extremely thick and it
appear to blanket the flat
top of the mountain and
roll off of it in great bil-
lows. It is appropriately
known as the "table cloth':
A tour of the many fan-
tastic wineries in the area
proves a relaxing prelude
to the beautiful drive
down to the Cape of Good
Hope, which has some of
the most spectacular
coastal scenery in the
world.
This southern tip
(although not the most
southerly) of Africa is
notorious for shipwrecks
and is an absolute divers
paradise, despite the great
white sharks. Oh yes. For
the nature lover in you it is
along the Garden Route
and the southern coast
that you will see penguin
colonies up close and per-
sonal and see whale
migrations off the coast.
