Vol 39 No 24 Week ending 18 June 2010 FREE Greener footprints HEATHER WALKER Don't leave the house without your passport � your Green Passport that is. This initiative by the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep), Global Environment Facility (GEF) and South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) aims to encourage tourists to contribute to sustainable tourism by making responsible choices. The `passport' is a booklet filled with information on travel that respects the environment and positively affects economic development. It will be available at airports, hotels and tourist centres countrywide. This awareness drive launched in Illovo is part of a project called Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Major Sporting Events: Fifa 2010 and the Green Goal. One of the criteria for choosing host countries is how well they fulfill this goal. With $1 million in GEF funding, 12 billboards, 60 traffic lights and 78 street lights near stadiums in six host cities have been converted to solar power. Another project enables travellers to calculate and offset their carbon emissions against one of five projects that included soil composting, wind energy and solar cookers. In addition 11 visiting football teams (Algeria, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Uruguay, Italy, Switzerland, Argentina, England, Republic of Korea and Serbia) have committed to offset their emissions. Unep hoped more would follow suit. "Hosting the 2010 Fifa World CupTM must leave a legacy, and we want it to be a green legacy.

"We hope travellers take the knowledge home and implement environmentally friendly changes in their lives. "The message is simple yet powerful � through small lifestyle adjustments we can all score goals for our planet," said Unep's Satinder Bindra. Details: www.greenpassport. co.za - email@example.com Did you know? This World Cup's estimated carbon footprint is 2 753 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions - eight times more than Germany's tournament because South Africa built most stadiums from scratch and is a long haul flight destination. Following the World Cup, Unep will review how key environmental issues have been addressed and what lessons can be learned.

Use common sense GAZETTE REPORTER Hundreds of people are killed or maimed in domestic fires across the country each year. To help people prepare for winter, Chubb has put together a 12-point guide to fire safety: Fit a fire or smoke alarm. Test your alarm and change the batteries at least once a year. Never leave fires, candles or any form of naked flame unattended in the home unattended and ensure candles are secure before lighting. Never leave children unsupervised around fires, candles or matches unsupervised. Keep a fire blanket and suitable extinguisher handy in the kitchen. A fire blanket is able to smother flames either on a person or on a stove. Avoid wearing baggy clothes while cooking and around heaters, candles and open fires. Never smoke in bed and ensure all cigarettes and candles are extinguished before retiring for the night. In case of fire, have a plan. Make sure you have more than one escape route should your route become blocked. If you have gas, oil or coalburning appliances be aware of carbon monoxide. Ensure your home is properly ventilated and equipment is regularly serviced and maintained. Turn off portable heaters, as well as gas and electric fires before going to bed. If you have an open fire make sure the fire guard is secure and in place. Keep heaters away from furniture and curtains. Specialised police units like this will handle the World Cup and its affairs while regular policing will continue in suburbs. Beware hoax email ABED AHMED Yet another hoax e-mail has made its way into millions of South African inboxes. This time, it reads that police will focus on the 2010 Fifa World CupTM activities and leave suburbs vulnerable to crimes such as hijacking and armed robbery. But the e-mail has been investigated and declared a hoax, according to provincial police spokesman Colonel Eugene Opperman. "Unfortunately, South Africans love causing a stir and the majority of people are gullible when it comes to hoax e-mails." He said that policing would continue as normal, before, during and after the tournament. "Policing will continue in all suburbs and police stations as normal." Opperman said that during the World Cup about 44 000 police officers from specific units would be 011-728-1347 - Life Line 0800-055-555 - Child Line 0800-150-150 - Stop Gender Violence 082-486-2997 - Rape Crisis 011-642-4345 - People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA) 011-262-6396 - SA Depression & Anxiety Group 0800-12-13-14 - Substance Abuse 083-900-69-62 - Narcotics Anonymous 0861-435-722 - Alcoholics deployed throughout the country at stadiums, hotels, fan parks etc. "This is a very small number in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of police officers and private security companies that will be carrying out their normal duties during the tournament."

The properties where vehicle owners reside are being targeted for house robberies in the belief that they are hosting visitors from other countries and thus contain valuables and large amounts of cash. Captain Cynthia Magoai of Parkview police advised residents, particularly bed and breakfast owners, to be on high alert when driving home. NEWS ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE � Week ending 18 June 2010 � 3 Jellicoe Avenue closure dangerous NONKULULEKO MBULI A section of Jellicoe Avenue between Bath Avenue and Oxford Road in Rosebank has been closed for maintenance for the past two weeks, causing confusion among motorists. According to Joburg Water workers on site, the massive hole in the road could be blamed on a burst pipe. The pipe and valves were being replaced, and the road would have to be resurfaced. In the meantime, with no official signage informing road users of designated detours, commuters are taking it upon themselves to redirect traffic. Currently only two lanes in one direction are in use, leaving motorists to make what appears to be an illegal detour into the left The Gautrain arrives at OR Tambo Airport station. lane to reach Oxford Road. There are no signs on Oxford Road to warn drivers of such detour. A driver turning right into Jellicoe Avenue from Oxford Road in one of the two turning lanes, who is not aware of this informal diversion, could collide with an oncoming vehicle. Joburg Water spokesman Baldwin Matsimela initially denied knowledge of the ongoing construction but said he would consult engineers. He later told the Gazette, "We had a burst pipe in the area and we anticipate the job complete by latest 17 June and for the road be reopened. "This will be after the slabs and tar reinstatement." - firstname.lastname@example.com Gautrain is here KATE HENRY It couldn't be done. They'll never finish it in time. But the gleaming, sleek train waiting for hundreds of guest and media at the Midrand depot proved them wrong. Brought by Gautrain buses with their own blue light brigade, the well-fed contingent was led on board by Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane. With a jerk the train was off, cruising at the speed of 160km/h making the distance between the Midrand depot, Sandton station and OR Tambo International Airport all but negligible. Less than 15 minutes after leaving Sandton station, the train slowed to a halt outside the shiny, state-of-the-art station at the airport. It was complete with friendly, waving staff and a big ribbon as the premier officially opened the station to a spirited crowd. With a quick test of the ticket kiosk system completed to satisfaction, the Premier returned to the train to open each of the stations, with the night scenery flashing past at dizzying speeds. Details: www.gautrain.co.za - firstname.lastname@example.com Getting to your destination The Gautrain service will operate from Monday to Sunday between 5.30am to 8.30pm. Trains and buses will run every 12 minutes during peak times and every 20 minutes during off-peak times. The bus stops will be approximately every 500m apart, along seven bus routes initially, within a 15km radius of Gautrain stations. There will also be a parkand-ride facility in place within the station precinct. Paying your way The Gautrain, bus and parking fares will be payable via the re-usable Gautrain Gold Card, onto which customers can load single trip or monthly tickets and other services. Cards will be available from all ticket offices and ticket vending machines at stations as well as from selected off-site retailers. Airport passengers can board at any station and will pay R100 for a single train trip to the airport. All trains to the airport will go via Sandton station. A single train trip from Sandton to Marlboro will cost R16.50, from Sandton to Rhodesfield R21.00; and from Marlboro to Rhodesfield R18.50. Special weekly and monthly packages are also available for regular users. Integrated single train plus single bus trips will cost R22.50 from Sandton to Marlboro, R27.00 from Sandton to Rhodesfield; and R24.50 from Marlboro to Rhodesfield. Parking at any station will cost R9.50 for the first 24hrs or part thereof as long as you also use the train. Access for the disabled Wheelchair access is provided to all trains, 50 percent of the buses, stations, toilets, lifts, fare gates, ticket offices and vending machines. The system has accessibility features to aid people with difficulties in walking, gripping, reaching or balancing, while blind and partially sighted people are assisted through the use of colour contrasts, clear signage and lighting, non-reflective surfaces, tactile surfaces, and audible as well as visual announcements. Deaf passengers and those hard of hearing are assisted through visual as well as audible announcements, induction loops and clear signs. Workers replace water pipes in Jellicoe Avenue. Beware possible poetry scam ZANELE SABELA The Poetry Institute of Africa poetry competition appears to be a scam. In May the Gazette ran a notice by the institute calling on the public to enter original poems into a competition with a grand prize of R10 000. Subsequently a reader, Matthew Murray, said he was having trouble getting in touch with the people at the institute. Murray said he had entered the competition in 2009 and was notified his poem had been selected to appear in the institute's annual anthology. He was told he would have to pay for a copy of the published book. Thinking it would make a lovely Christmas present Murray ordered 11 copies and posted a cheque for R2 600. It was cashed but Murray never received the books or heard from the institute again. "When I saw the notice this year I noticed the same details. I called but could not get through," he said. That is when he called the Gazette. We also had no luck over the phone, so we tried to lure them out by requesting an interview. But the calls and e-mails remained unanswered. "Even back then I thought it was suspect." Published poet and coordinator at Wits University Writing Centre, Kgaogelo Lekota, said he entered the competition in 1998, but when they told him to pay to receive the anthology he became suspicious. A Google search by the Gazette revealed similar complaints on Hellopeter.com. A search for the publishers of the anthology came up empty; the website lists a postal address but no physical address. Murray said his selected poem was part of a trilogy dedicated to his wife who died in 2008, which was why he wanted copies. "It was entitled, My wife, my lover, my friend, the same words on her headstone." -firstname.lastname@example.com 4 � Week ending 18 June 2010 � ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE NEWS CAXTONcommunity newspapers JHB NORTH EDITORIAL Phone: 011-293-6068 Fax: 011-889-0683 email: firstname.lastname@example.com Editor Kennedy Mudzuli 011-889-0774 email@example.com Trainee News Editor Heather Walker 011-293-6149 email@example.com Reporters Nonkululeko Mbuli 011 889 0875 email@example.com Nie Cele 011-889-0773 firstname.lastname@example.com Sub-Editors Julia Lloyd Iza Goldwasser DISTRIBUTION Trainee Manager Jastinah Ndlovu 011-293-6130 082-591-7623 Fax to email 086-686-7824 email@example.com ADVERTISING Phone: 011-293-6176 Advertising Sales Manager Norman Dawe email@example.com Sales Geoffrey Pandeka Tel: 011-293-8075 Cell:074-914-6597 email@example.com Gazette ROSEBANK KILLARNEY 370 Jan Smuts Avenue, Craighall, PO Box 1797 Pinegowrie, 2123 Are flags that offensive?

"Damage to electricity installations, which can range from illegal entry into substations to cutting down electricity poles, invariably requires that infrastructure be replaced at great cost. Taken to its logical conclusion, this means that money that could have been used to provide connections to consumers is diverted to the cost of replacement," said Moniwa Mahlangu, manager of Safety, Health and Environment at Eskom Distribution. "The worst case is when vandals leave power lines lying on the ground or, previously secure installations open to the public. Unfortunately, it is often curious children who pay the price. What may be a few minutes of fun to a vandal usually ends in serious injury, burns or even death. Vandals do not seem to care that electrical installations are ultimately the property of communities," added Mahlangu. "These facilities are financed through electricity charges levied against residents of a community. A thoughtless act of vandalism is therefore an act of violent aggression against a community." He said it was important for communities to safeguard their own interests by reporting incidents of vandalism to Eskom or the local municipality as soon as they were observed. Reporting individuals so that appropriate investigations and arrests could be made was also important. Details: 0800-11-27-22. NONKULULEKO MBULI After attending a conference on human trafficking in Mozambique last year, Moipone Badu-Ramatlo of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund decided to get pro-active about the child safety risks arising from the 2010 Fifa World CupTM. The result was Champions for Children � a campaign to raise awareness about child safety issues and empower communities to protect their children. "Trafficking is only one issue; we need to talk about children's safety issues beyond the World Cup. We needed an awareness campaign to call communities to action, to unearth the potential that communities have for social change," said Moipone Badu-Ramatlo, the project's manager. "We're encouraging people to get together in social or church groups to take care of the children in their communities. "But if all you can do is look after your own children, you're already a champion," she said. Badu-Ramatlo explained that because the greatest risk to children during the World Cup was a lack of adequate supervision, the best thing communities could do was provide supervised recreational activities and day-care facilities for the neighbourhood children during their extended holiday. "We're so focused on the `dangerous' tourists, but we need behavioural change for the parents," Badu-Ramatlo said.

Childline offers some practical tips for parents and guardians: All small children should be placed in a car seat or booster seat when travelling in a motor vehicle. Make sure young children are always in the presence of a guardian or parent when out in public. Do not allow your child to wander alone in parks or shopping malls. At home, ensure your garden is safe for your child, check that fences are secure and gates are closed and locked. Even in winter, make sure your pool is absolutely safe when you allow your child to play in the garden. Do not allow your child to play in the road, show them how to cross roads safely, and do not let them throw balls near roads. Children are carefree, they may not notice possible dangerous situations until too late. Be an assertive parent and educate your child. Teach your child about Childline. If you suspect a child is being abused, report the incident to the police. Details: 0800-055-555.

Phumudzo Tsanwani with his 10 bags. KATE HENRY A little bit of elbow grease can help a city shine. It was with this in mind that the Gazette joined forces with sister paper the Sandton Chronicle and a few eager residents to give a little section of Joburg a spruceup before it welcomed the citizens of the world. The annual Pikitup Clean Up Day saw similar scenes at several sites across the city, all eager to make their home a place to be proud of. While more help would have been appreciated, the pile of bags that sat at the corner of North and Oxford roads, Illovo was testament to the determination of the cleaning crew. One of the most eager participants was Phumudzo Tsanwani. Last year, he came from Soweto to pick up seven bags of litter. This year he outdid himself in honour of the 2010 Fifa World CupTM, and picked up 10 - and just kept on going. Unfortunately, Pikitup did not come to the party - its own event. Despite its assurances that the bags would be picked up within a few hours after the clean-up team left, by Sunday morning they were still there. In Jan Smuts Avenue in Craighall, just outside the Gazette offices, bags that hadn't been collected were torn open with rubbish strewn across the street. Attempts to contact Pikitup on the day were unsuccessful. - firstname.lastname@example.com See more photos on www. rosebankkillarneygazette.co.za Benefit Sibiya and Guide Mdlalose fix the pavement at the corner of Jan Smuts Avenue and North Road, Dunkeld. 6 � Week ending 18 June 2010 � ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE CITY MATTERS You can run but cannot Uproar over hide, warns Mosunkutu school closures NIE CELE Gauteng MEC for Community Safety, Khabisi Mosunkutu has issued a stern warning that any form of violence in the province will not be tolerated. "Perpetrators can run and hide but sooner or later we will get you," said Mosukuntu, adding lightheartedly, "Even if the culprits pass on, we will soon arrest them in the next life.'' Speaking at city council headquarters in Braamfontein during a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Rea Vaya media briefing, Mosunkutu was responding to a question from this newspaper about the progress made by police in arresting people who ambushed the BRT in Soweto last month. During the attack a commuter was killed and eight others were seriously wounded in two separate shootings. Mosunkutu said police were working hard to track down the perpetrators. He said people who committed such acts were very clever and took precautions to make it difficult for police to trace them. But he revealed that at least one suspect had been apprehended and police were following leads to arrest more. - firstname.lastname@example.com AIMEE CAULFIELD While the Gauteng Education MEC Barbara Creecy has promised to get the education basics right, the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Legislature is horrified at the amount of school closures. The debate was sparked by the revelation that at least 109 schools had closed down in the province since 1994, 27 of them in Soweto. Gauteng DA Education spokesman Khume Ramulifho said that closing down schools undermined those who fought to liberate the majority of people from hunger, poverty and sub-standard education. "The DA is extremely concerned about children from disadvantaged areas who are excluded from opportunities to acquire skills and a good education. They simply add to the already tragic statistics of those deprived of these opportunities." Ramulifho said the DA's view was that schools were places where formal education should take place, and that the MEC had to ensure that schools were structured for maximum performance, and implemented turnaround strategies for dysfunctional schools. But Department of Education spokesman Charles Phahlane said there were a variety of valid reasons why the department closed down the schools. "In some township schools there is an artificial concentration of pupils. "The advent of democracy made it possible for child-bearing people to move and settle where they wish, closer to work. This has resulted in a number of schools with fewer scholars. "The department was forced to merge some schools and hand over the buildings of others to the municipalities." Phahlane reiterated this sentiment when describing schools that had only two staff members, a teacher and a principal, and 30 pupils. "When we close down schools we consult extensively with all stakeholders affected and explain to them the reasons, such as relocating scholars to quality schools where they will receive quality education." - firstname.lastname@example.com Mega bucks for education Khabisi Mosunkutu, Gauteng MEC for Community Safety.

This was revealed by Michael Sun, DA spokesman on by-law issues in Joburg. According to Sun, a classic example was when the DA attempted to put in a motion at a city council monthly meeting for the urgent repair of potholes and malfunctioning traffic lights. "This was rejected outright. This was going to decrease the municipality's risk on damage claims and increased insurance premiums that are believed to be ballooning.'' Sun also divulged that he was recently phoned by 12 motorists who wanted to know the claim procedure, and said this was a sign that city council was spending astronomical amounts on claims despite having an insurance company that dealt with them. A furious Sun said the purpose of the DA's motion was simple. "Fix the potholes and traffic lights. Every day our residents travel on roads full of potholes and very often traffic congestion is caused as a result of malfunctioning traffic lights. Both are hazardous and inflict unnecessary danger on the public." He argued that potholes had no political affiliation. "The motion is not intended to score any political points. It is simply DA councillor Michael Sun an honest attempt to get the city council to take action and repair potholes. Let Johannesburg be a city of gold and not a city of holes,'' said Sun. Meanwhile, Nonceba Molwelwe, ANC chief whip in city council said the DA was playing politics. "They have a tendency to raise an issue that has been reported and is in the process of being attended to. Potholes are reported every day and are being repaired finish and klaar." - firstname.lastname@example.com ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE � Week ending 18 June 2010 � 7 8 � Week ending 18 June 2010 � ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE Letters to the editor Lawsuit necessary Cheryl Labuschagne, chairman of the Parkhurst Village Residents Association (PVRA), writes: I refer to the letter from B Lee (Gazette, week ending 11 June). The lawsuit aimed at preventing the opening of an 11th restaurant in 4th Avenue is unanimously supported by the PVRA committee, and by the vast majority of residents. Hundreds signed petitions during 2009 against further restaurants. At the recent annual general meeting 93 percent of those present again expressed opposition to more restaurants, after vigorous debate. Only five people disagreed. Voluntary contributions have been raised for the specific purpose of funding the litigation. The action does not need the approval of every resident and Lee is free not to contribute. The central issue in the litigation is the enforceability of city council's Regional Spatial Development Framework (RSDF), which affects most aspects of town planning, including the protection of the ecological environment, control of non-residential development generally and traffic flow � not only restaurants. The RSDF is the only townplanning instrument into which residents have direct input, and city council must respect the RSDF if the residential character of Parkhurst is to survive. A central tenet of our democracy is that the wishes of communities as to the character of their living environment be respected. The RSDF reflects the wishes of local residents as to the character of Parkhurst. Hence the lawsuit, aimed at ensuring that the RSDF is enforced. The PVRA encourages all residents to become involved in our community. We have many environmental, security and other issues to deal with. Constructive interaction by residents on a large scale is needed if we are to preserve our wonderful suburb.

We have received a request for assistance from Trevor Fyfe's mother, who lives in the UK, in tracing the whereabouts of her son, born 8 August 1970. Despite having made numerous and extensive enquiries, we have had no success. Anyone able to assist in this search can contact me on 022492-3410 or familytracing@ boothhosp.org Please rethink the circle Richard Thorpe writes: I wish to add my voice to those expressing concern over the traffic circle erected at the Chester/ Dorset roads intersection. This circle has created traffic chaos in the surrounding suburbs as thousands, yes thousands, of additional vehicles now use our quiet, narrow streets to divert around the Chester Road logjam and in many cases now use Dorset Road to access Chester Road at this circle. Anyone familiar with the area will know that Dorset Road is not suitable for heavy traffic as it is narrow, potholed and has two very dangerous blind corners. This circle may have been constructed with good intentions but it was an emotional decision rather than a practical one which has resulted in one dangerous intersection replaced by a number of others. Surely there must be alternative calming methods available on Chester Road for example rumble strips, speed humps or speed cameras? I ask that the powers concerned please review the cause and effect of this entire traffic circle saga and return our suburbs to their previous peaceful state before there is a fatal accident. Blankies for cats and dogs Samantha Berger writes from Kitty and puppy haven: We have had so many rescues brought into the sanctuary that we are overflowing. If anyone has any old kitten and puppy toys, tennis balls, squash balls or others please, please help. We are desperate as we have so many babies that need to be occupied. As we are entering the colder months we also need blankets � old or new � to keep our babies warm. Towels are always in short supply too, so if you have any moth-eaten ones you'd like to get rid of, please send them our way. Phone 011440-2404 or 083-387-1012. GLORIOUS AUTUMN: Resident Mike Browne took this photo of the wonderful colours of the changing season at Emmarentia Dam. "Many people have a misconception of Johannesburg and don't realise the beauty found here," he said. Leaders must obey their laws Manny de Freitas writes: I find it interesting that Mayor Amos Masondo and other city leaders have called on the public to respect designated bus lanes by not driving in them. There have been a number of crashes and injuries as a result of motorists driving illegally in bus lanes. It is up to each of us to ensure that road rules are respected and kept. However, the call for this by the mayor I find amazing as his own party clearly feels it is above the law. Leaders of the ANC and their entourages are simply not respecting road laws. Whenever meetings of top profile politicians are held at the ANC's head office, Luthuli House in the centre of Joburg, one finds their vehicles parked in our bus lanes. How can government expect the public to keep to road rules when leaders themselves aren't prepared to? There are wonderful people out there Jackie Arnot writes: My car broke down on Tuesday night on the corner of Clarence and Roxburghe avenues in Craighall Park. Thank you to the young man, presumably on his way home from gym as he was scantily dressed, who bounced my car out of a busy Clarence Avenue into Roxburghe Avenue - at least my car wasn't going to be hit in the rear. Thank you to Martin from CSS Tactical who stood with me for half an hour in the dark and cold until the AA arrived. Thank you to Paul Cockburn for his concern and to the many motorists (often single women) who stopped to make sure I was okay. Many thanks to the kind, lovely lady who offered me accommodation for the night should things not work out. And thanks to the Automobile Association (AA) employee who diagnosed an electrical fault. Thanks also to ADT who stayed until my car was finally loaded on to the AA's flatbed tow truck. It is wonderful to know that if you break down, even at night, there are so many friendly people willing to help. COMMUNITY ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE � Week ending 18 June 2010 � 9 Suburban blips BY HEATHER WALKER Road by any other name Roads without names frustrate many Joburgers. On some streets, poles are missing their signs, on others the entire structure has disappeared. Kerbside names on countless more have long since worn off. This makes navigating the city much harder than it ought to be, especially for a journalist constantly trying to locate addresses for appointments. It would probably be easier with a GPS, but I never found myself needing such a device enough to justify buying one, and often a good old-fashioned map book does a better job. Unfortunately using a map book requires being able to identify which street you are on. Come to think of it, perhaps all those streets remain nameless because some tenderpreneur in city council owns a company that sells GPS units. Or maybe there is just no budget or inclination to name them. I suspect the latter. Some residents gave up waiting for city council to do its job and set about repainting the kerbs themselves. Then a major football event arrived and lo and behold � suddenly Fifabranded street signs were popping up all over the show. Finally our major intersections have identities again. The only problem is at least one is wrong. A new sign on the corner of 6th Street and 4th Avenue in Parkhurst calls 4th Avenue Braeside Road (see photo on page 11). Granted, it's not far off, as Braeside Road, an extension of 4th Avenue begins just across the street. What makes it amusing is that right underneath the new sign is the old one with the road's real name. To the powers that be this detail may not be important, but to residents who know every minute facet of their suburb it's an outrage. - email@example.com Severiano du Preez (past recipient of a facial operation), Irene Menell and Marc Lubner with the giant football boot. A decade of smiles HEATHER WALKER It started 10 years ago with a little girl called Thando. She was born with facial paralysis that prevented her ability to smile. For years her mother Thabile Manyati wrote letters asking Nelson Mandela for help but always received a regretful apology on his behalf. Then to her disbelief one day she received a phone call from the man himself. "At first I thought it was a joke, but it really was Tata Madiba. He told me he would help us, and he sent Marc Lubner and the doctors," explained Manyati. A decade later at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Houghton she and Thando beamed as they celebrated the Smile Foundation's 10th birthday, where its chairman Lubner paid tribute to the man who started the dream. "Mr Mandela asked me to help one child, and that project grew into the Smile Foundation. His passion and support has encouraged us to achieve the results that ensure 200 children annually receive the opportunity of facial surgery and psycho-social support. Back then this operation was not available locally but now many surgeons have received training to enable this." This surgery is performed during annual Smile Week at six state hospitals nationwide, including Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital in Parktown. Dr Igor Wetzel of German charity We Love Africa affirmed his support for the Smile Foundation, and presented a giant autographed football boot as a gift to Mandela, accepted on his behalf by Irene Menell of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Louise Matschke, curriculum specialist of the Johannesburg Zoo, spoke to the pupils from Jan Celliers primary school about biodiversity. The pupils were also treated to a short play staged by the Johannebsurg's Zoo's education centre. The play revolved around the time travels of the main characters, who helped the children see the effects of global warming on the planet � desertification, food shortages, rising sea levels, astronomical water and fuel costs, and diminished biodiversity. The children were taught a rap song that reminded them to: `Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Refill. Repair'. The play ended with the sobering statement, "All we stand to lose in the 2010 Fifa World CupTM is a couple of games, but in 2040 we stand to lose the world," The children were encouraged to do their part in the fight for our planet, and were taught how to reduce their carbon footprint by saving water and being energyefficient. "Our objective is to act as a go-between city council and the community that uses Zoo Lake, to protect the park and everything around it as well as to maintain the Pupils from Jan Celliers primary school ready to do their part in the fight against climate change Environmental edutainment. biodiversity here," said Graham Wright, chairman of the ZLUC.

COMMUNITY ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE � Week ending 18 June 2010 � 11 Accolade for zoo's vet GAZETTE REPORTER The Joburg Zoo's senior veterinarian Michelle Barrows received the Chairman's Award from the African Association of Zoos and Aquaria (Paazab) for her contribution to the field of zoological medicine. "Barrows has worked as associate and now senior veterinarian at the zoo for seven years," said past Paazab chairman Dr Mark Penning of Durban's uShaka Marine World. She has overseen the progression of the zoo's veterinary department with a strong emphasis on preventative medicine and education. She developed a popular `externship' programme that provides opportunities for veterinary students and nurses to gain experience of and develop their skills in wildlife and zoological medicine � a programme she is still passionately driving to ensure local and international students can share her dream of working with wildlife. She has provided training opportunities for vets and students from over 20 countries." Barrows organised the first African Symposium on Zoological Medicine at Joburg Zoo, which provided professional development opportunities for veterinarians working with zoo animals, exotic pets and wildlife; shared knowledge with colleagues in other countries; and raised awareness of zoological medicine as a career. "This was an overwhelming success with 200 delegates from eight African countries. The vets from the rest of Africa also had an opportunity to train at the Joburg and Pretoria zoos during and after the symposium. In recognition of this job well done, and in acknowledgement of selfless efforts on behalf of a grateful association, the Chairman's Award is conferred upon Michelle," said Penning. Jono's pot luck GAZETTE REPORTER A cloud-covered sky over the Emmarentia Sailing Club was bad news for sailors, but turned out to be a pretty good day for making fires and bringing out the old potjies The Friends of The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens committee hosted its first annual fundraising potjkiekos competition and guests and the seven entrants made the most of the gloomy weather. John Cartwright lit the fires at 10.30am and dug holes for the pots. He entered three delectable potjies and took second and fifth places. His most unique dish was a whole pumpkin filled to the brim with an assortment of vegetables. Councillor Pat Richards, Michael Thompson and Chris Atkins had the culinary pleasure of judging. It was an extremely close call but in the end Jono Hall cooking his first potjie won first place. His prize, two tickets to the Spain and Honduras 2010 Fifa World CupTM match, was donated by Emmarentia resident Alex Eliott. Fiona Lee and Anne Askew also took home prizes. Over 35 bowls of rice were bought and all took great pleasure in sampling each potjie. "What better way to spend a cool autumn day than to sit next to Emmarentia Dam, keeping warm around the fires, sipping wine and making new friends," said Betina Cartwright. Ryan Metcalf and friends had such a great time they promised to enter again and next time bring along many potjiekos connoisseurs. Thanks are due to City Parks for donating winter jackets, and to the Buck and Hog for donating meal vouchers. Funds raised will go towards erecting permanent braais next to the dam along Louw Geldenhuys Drive. It is hoped this will help control people braaing and burning the grass and trees. Dr Mark Penning and Michelle Barrows Jono Hall took first place for his potjie.

It's the Eleven Football and Art: Africa 2010 X Brazil 2014 exhibition at Commerzbank in Rosebank, which runs parallel to the 2010 Fifa World CupTM and forms part of the G-Onze cultural programmes in Brazil. Each country showcases football-themed artworks by some of its top contemporary artists. Antonio Peticov from Sao Paulo called his painting Global Peace. "The daylight in my picture represents the conscious mind, and the cosmos, the unconscious mind. These two contrasts are unified by a football pitch. There is too much fighting in the world and I believe football has the ability to create harmony between people," he explained. The South African team is made up of Pat Mautloa, Wayne Barker, Annette Loubser, David Koloane, Johannes Phokela, Karl Gietl, Louis Scott, Mbongeni Buthelezi, Robert Hodgins, Samson Mnisi, Sandile Zulu and Simon Stone. Barker's mixed media artwork entitled Fighting Field - Steve Biko is part of a series he did on South African legends. "When Biko was under house arrest he wasn't allowed to do many things but he was allowed to play football. He used this to his advantage to convey important information to other freedom fighters. I wanted to celebrate the role football played in his life and the creation of our democracy," he said. Eleven Football and Art runs until 31 July at 5 Keyes Avenue.

The soccer challenge saw 32 teams from Ekurhuleni, Pretoria, Soweto and the Vaal go head-tohead to win tickets to see a 2010 Fifa World CupTM match at Soccer City. The final was decided between two Soweto teams with Rutegang primary school beating Motsaneng primary school 1-0. Premier Soccer League (PSL) players from the country's top teams, including Tefo Mashamaite (Bidvest Wits captain), Jimmy Tau (Kaizer Chiefs captain) and Morgan Gould (Supersport United) were present to show their support and share their skills with the children. Individual accolades were awarded by Yvette van Rooyen, marketing and product manager of Microsoft Xbox 360. Siphiwe Ndaba from Thopodi primary school was named top goal scorer of the tournament, Mpedi Pakana of Rutegang primary school was player's player, and Lehlohonolo Taka of Rutegang primary walked away with the best goalkeeper award. Portuguese invade ABED AHMED The Wanderers cricket stadium in Illovo was transformed into a soccer pitch as the Portuguese community hosted the Goodwill Cup that saw Portugal and Mozambique battle it out. Tickets were sold out and the 35000 capacity stadium was filled to the brim, with the majority of fans from the local Portuguese community. Superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Ricardo Carvalho made appearances to the crowd's delight as Portugal thrashed Mozambique 3-0. Both sides had opportunities during the first half. Mozambique hit the upright with a magnificent shot from defender Paito. The second half yielded the much anticipated results as Portugal capitalised on a flaw in the Mozambican defence, and striker Danny tapped one in past the goalkeeper. Ronaldo started from the bench and immediately impacted the game with his trademark step over. Portuguese striker Hugo Almeida made it two after a one-two pass with captain Simao. The third came off the Mozambican goalie's save of a Ronaldo shot that Almeida once again tapped in. - email@example.com Soccer star Deco in action at the Wanderers during the Goodwill Cup against Mozambique.

Steps to end hunger HEATHER WALKER For most people 5km is not far. But this is the average distance a hungry child in the developing world has to walk to find food. With this in mind, hundreds of people trekked 5km through the Joburg Zoo for the End Hunger Walk the World relay. This international event runs over 24 hours in all the time zones, beginning in Australia and ending in Samoa. "The initiative mobilised an estimated 150 000 people to raise awareness and funds for the school feeding schemes of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). "In an incredible wave of solidarity, the world came forward to say that child hunger is totally unacceptable. At least 160 walks in 70 countries raised enough money to provide 10 000 children with nutritious school meals for a year," said Josette Sheeran, WFP's executive director. "Since Walk the World began in 2003, it has seen two million participants and fed 190 000 children," said Tim Steel of TNT Express, a founding partner of the event. According to WFP research, hunger and malnutrition are the biggest threats to global health. Every six seconds a child dies of hunger and related causes. More than one billion people are undernourished worldwide, almost all of them in developing countries. Funds raised from Joburg's walk will go to the Food 4 Africa Foundation, which aims to provide children with at least one vitaminand mineral-enriched meal every day. Participants who strutted out on a chilly morning included Hlubi Mboya, Tshepo Maseko and Nicole Flint (Miss South Africa). One walker, Dominique von Moos, explained why she took part. "It's a great reason to get out of bed early on a Sunday morning and I love the idea that I'm part of an event happening simultaneously in 70 countries." Did you know?

55 East Erie Street
55 East Erie is an all-residential skyscraper in Chicago. It is at 647 ft (197 m). Designed by Fujikawa Johnson & Associates and Searl & Associates Architects, the 56 story building was completed in 2004 and is the fourth-tallest all-residential building in the United States after Trump World Tower in New York City, One Museum Park in Chicago, and the nearby 340 on the Park completed in 2007 in Chicago.
The design called for flying buttresses around the mechanical penthouse, which were eventually dropped. Early on, the building was envisioned as much taller in order to house a Mandarin Oriental hotel, but a deal was never struck.
55 East Erie is located one block away from the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. The 56-story condominium tower affords residents views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.
55 East Erie boasts 194 residential units, including seven floors of split story penthouse homes with express elevator service. The building also features four "Skyhomes," each a unique four story townhome with its own elevator.
Located in Chicago's "Mansion Row" District, the property offers residents a fitness center with towel service, a full length lap pool, a Jacuzzi, and men's and women's locker rooms with saunas and steam rooms. In July 2009, individual televisions were installed for each piece of cardiovascular equipment. The building has 425 deeded parking spots, as well as an on-site dry cleaner, a bicycle storage facility, and a hospitality room with a full kitchen and outdoor promenade.

Review Title
Fantastic!! I love these things. If there is a meal that can be eaten with them, I do. I wish the caps were screw on so I'd worry less about losing them but I'm always very cognizant when I pull these out anyways. They really make you use proper technique too. Not sure how long the wood will last but when it gives out I'll definitely buy more. If you know anyone who loves sushi or eats a lot of noodles this is their sexy new utensil. Here's a pic of beef stroganoff in an Orikaso bowl with the Snow Peak Chopsticks.
