Photo: Melissa Dobson Local government and businesses stand together MARIA SIBIYA Local businesses are working together in an effort to im prove the local economy by joining forces with the govern ment. Various businesses and stakeholders came together to present their objectives at the Makana Businesses Conference at the Makana Resort on Wednesday. The conference was a formal platform which offered various businesses the opportunity to share their main objectives and to gain knowledge on how other sectors operate. Municipal Manag er, Ntombi Baart, says local businesses have to create initiatives that will sustain the local economy. “We have to work together to wards a united local business sector,” she said. She also encour aged both private and government-owned businesses to build a coherent relationship with the municipality. While discussing the role of the Local Economic Develop ment (LED) within the business sector, LED director Riana Meiring said that the LED is focusing on establishing partner ships with the relevant stakeholders. She also said they aim to create an enabling environment for existing and developing busi nesses in Makana. One of the businesses establishing itself in the business sec tor is the Border Kei Chamber of Commerce from Queenstown According to the chamber’s LED advisor, Alison Wienekus, the government should include more local small business within their initiatives to improve the local economy. “Investment should take place locally,” she said. The chamber’s executive director, Les Holbrook said that the chamber offers mentoring programmes such training for small medium and macro-enterprises (SMME). He also said that the chamber will be conducting 2010 training for SMMEs in Septem ber, so that they can prepare themselves for the Fifa World Cup. In his address, Makana Mayor Vumile Lwana pointed out some of the challenges that need to be addressed regarding de velopments in the local business sector. The challenges he men tioned include the global economic recession, unemployment and poverty. He added that local businesses such as construction companies, should benefit from major tenders. “We need to involve local businesses in internal business op portunities,” he said. Some of the private and government busi ness institutions which were present at the conference include the Eastern Cape Development Corporation, Iqaud Investment Incentives, the provincial Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA).

Grocott’s <strong>Mail</strong> Friday, 31 July 2009 Snow and rough terrain at spectacular Rhodes run Stephen Penney Two local runners, Kevin Rafferty and Martin Bekker, took part in the Liberty Health Rhodes Trail Run. The race covers around 52km – half of which is trail running and the other half on dirt and sand tracks. Starting at the town of Rhodes, the route took athletes along the Bell River and into Kloppers Hoek Valley, crossing the Bell River several times via causeways and low-level bridges. This was followed by an off-road section along footpaths and cattle and sheep trails to Mavis Bank. A steep 1-in-3 ascent took athletes from the valley to the Lesotho border checkpoint. The course then followed the Lesotho border road through snow fields and past the ski slopes of Ben Macdhui, reaching 3 001 metres above sea level. The highest point of the run lies on this section when passing Lesotho View at 2 670m above sea level. After this, the course went onto Hooggenoeg Ridge, where there were no footpaths and athletes had to follow the ridge line over Hooggenoeg Point to the next check point. Athletes ran through terrain that was extremely uneven and rough underfoot, with Mark Fish to host coaching clinic for Nestlé Milo provincial champions Earlier this year Nestlé South Africa, in conjunction with the South African Schools’ Football Association (Sasfa), kicked off the Nestlé Milo Champions U13 schools soccer tournament for the second year. The tournament is currently taking place in each of the nine provinces, and the provincial winner in each province receives R10 000 to invest in their school and a coaching clinic with Nestlé Milo Brand Ambassador, Mark Fish. Each of the nine provincial winners will also undergo a coaching clinic with Fish, who is the new Thanda Royal Zulu’s coach, in preparation for the national finals. The first coaching clinic took place in Gauteng’s provincial winners’ school, Bree Primary in Mayfair yesterday. – Grocott’s <strong>Mail</strong> Reporter Run or cycle at Sunnyvale Farm The Ridge Mania 10km trail run takes place on Sunday, 2 August from Sunnyvale Farm, Thornhill, Port Elizabeth.

Along the final stage, the route dropped from the mountain plateau into Carlisles Hoek Valley, dropping sharply by several hundred metres per kilometre, before returning to Rhodes. Martin Bekker, a member of Albany Road Runners, finished 58th overall in a time of 6 hours 48 minutes 29 seconds, while Rafferty, a member of Grahamstown’s Run/Walk For Life Athletics Club, finished 62nd overall in 6:53:46. The overall winner was Trevor Toerien who finished in 4:30:50, while the first woman was Erina du Toit who finished 13th overall in 5:40:29. “It was an amazing experience to run at a high altitude 2 600km above sea level and in Sport in brief the snow, the whole weekend in Rhodes village is absolutely awesome,” adding that it is a very tough run but spectacular at the same time. Rafferty said that the feeding stations in the mountains were “fantastic and the people running the stations make you feel really special.” Entry to this race is by invitation only with a substitution facility, and the field is limited to 325 runners for reasons of safety and logistics. It can take about five years to get off the waiting list and be invited. Rafferty was lucky enough to run as a substitute for another local runner who was unable to take part. “I look forward to being able to take part again one day,” he said. GREAT DEFENDER...

They managed to do this quite efficiently with their strong mid-field and rangy loose forwards. Marlow got off to a good start and put St Andrew’s under pressure in their own half with good kicking and solid defending. They were able to convert this pressure into points and were up by 13 points after 12 minutes of play. The St Andrew’s side never dropped their heads and played with great courage but were unable to build up enough pressure from the possession. As a result the Marlow defense was never stretched much in the first half and the half time score was 3 –13. In the second half St Andrew’s had more possession and spent time in Marlow’s territory, but were still unable to build enough phases to get the Marlow defense scrambling. A St Andrew’s solitary try came off a set move early in the second half where Grant Macdonald used his fancy footwork to dazzle his opponents and then win the footrace to the line. Points scorers: Dale Austin – 1 penalty, Grant Macdonald – 1 try, Ian Herold – 1 conversions and 1 penalty. Results 1sts lost 17–13, 2nds lost 23–8, 3rds lost 39–5, 4ths lost 14–5, 5ths lost 22–0, U14/A lost 41–26, U14/B lost 35–7, U15/A lost 49–19, U15/B won 42–5, U16/A lost 39–5 U16/B lost 88-0 HOCKEY 1st team vs Victoria Park St Andrew’s College beat Victoria Park 2-1 in a hard-fought encounter with both sides evenly matched. St Andrew’s allowed Victoria Park’s top player too much room in the first half and he managed to weave his way through the St Andrew’s defense, scoring the first goal of the match. St Andrew’s were more successful in the second half and came back strongly, scoring twice to win the game 2-1. 1st team vs Oakhill (Knysna) Oakhill, on an Eastern Cape tour, proved tricky to play against in the first half. They tended to move all play into the middle channel and put all 11 players behind the ball in defense. Because of the congestion around the circle and in the 25 St Andrew’s only managed to score once. In the second half St Andrew’s changed strategy and moved the ball around the back and attacked down the flanks. This spread their players and St Andrew’s managed to score five more goals, winning 6-0. DSG SPORT HOCKEY The DSG 1st team had an action packed weekend of hockey. Herschel Girls School (now headed by Bruce Probyn, former head of the DSG) sent three teams through to Grahamstown, U16A, 2nds and 1sts. The 1st XI match was the match of the day, played at 7pm on a very cold Friday evening. Neither the weather nor the time dampened the spirit with the whole school supporting. From the onset it was a tight match that saw both sides penetrating the oppositions circle and creating scoring opportunities. It was DSG that went a goal up before half time. Herschel came out fighting in the second half, eventually scoring. DSG gained most of the possession but could not capitalise, ending in a 1-1 draw. The DSG 1st team then took on Pearson on Saturday morning. DSG had a very slow first half and went down 2-0 early in the game with Meyer creating two great goals for Pearson. DSG came out fighting following the half time break and managed to take hold of the game. Possession and determination resulted in 3 good goals, two field goals from Micah Steytler and one short corner goal putting DSG 3-2 up at the end of play. On Saturday afternoon Oakhill from Knysna arrived to play. Oakhill have not had a strong side in the past so it was decided that a DSG ‘stayers’ team would play – a team without matrics. A good game of hockey was played with DSG holding most of the possession, scoring two goals before the end of play. Results: Hockey vs Herschel - U16A lost 1-3, 2nds won 2-1; 1sts drew 1-1; vs Pearson; U14A won 1-0, U14B lost 1-2, U16A won 3-0; U16B won 4-0, U16C won 1-0, U16D drew 2-2; U16E Lost 0-1, 4th team Won 1-0, 3rd team Won 1-0; 2nd team Won 1-0, 1st team Won 3-2, Stayers XI Hockey vs Oakhill. Stayers won 2-0 NETBALL vs Pearson - U14A Drew 10-10, U14B Won 12- 10, U14C Lost 5-7; U14D Won 7-2, U16A Drew 8-8, U16B Won 11-8; U16C Lost 1-18, U16D Lost 5-7, 4th Lost 6-9; 3rd Lost 9-13, 2nd Won 11-10, 1st Lost 10-17 SQUASH vs Herschel DSG won 3-2.
