Miss KHS Junior and Senior crowned at Gala occasion<br />
RECENTLY Miss KHS 20<strong>17</strong><br />
was chosen at a gala occasion<br />
held in the school hall.<br />
The evening was hosted and<br />
organised by the KHS Dance<br />
Committee under the efficient<br />
guidance of Ms Christelle<br />
Frauenstein.<br />
The theme of the show was<br />
'YOU CAN DO IT! WOMAN<br />
UP! The show was designed<br />
to celebrate and honour the<br />
understated power of women.<br />
It must be pointed out that<br />
the Miss KHS show is not a<br />
beauty pageant.<br />
It is about choosing the girls<br />
who truly represent the KHS<br />
ethos. Miss KHS must be<br />
upright in body, mind and soul.<br />
She must participate with<br />
enthusiasm in school activities<br />
and at all times be an<br />
ambassador for the school.<br />
The judges for the evening<br />
were a cross-section of learners<br />
and adults, thus ensuring<br />
a true reflection of the merits<br />
of each candidate.<br />

Instructions<br />
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In<br />
a bowl, combine 20g roughly<br />
chopped hazelnuts, 70g basil<br />
pesto and 4 roughly chopped<br />
figs. Season the mixture well<br />
with salt and freshly ground<br />
black pepper. Place a 600g<br />
smoked pork fillet on a chopping<br />
board and cut a slit<br />
down the length of the fillet,<br />
taking care not to cut through<br />
the whole fillet. Open the fillet<br />
up like a book and place the<br />
fig-and-pesto mixture down<br />
the middle with a few sprigs<br />
of fresh rosemary. Using<br />
kitchen string, tie the fillet up<br />
at 4cm intervals to secure.<br />
Place the pork on a roasting<br />
tray and dot with butter.<br />
Roast in the preheated oven<br />
for 30 minutes until almost<br />
cooked through. Add a little<br />
extra freshly ground black<br />
pepper and fresh rosemary<br />
sprigs and slice up to serve

KWTCYCC vehicle 'grounded' after tyres and rims stolen<br />
NO WHEELS: Thieves stole the tyres and<br />
rims of a KWTCYCC minibus that transports<br />
learners to various schools<br />
LAST Monday morning at around<br />
6:15 am as one of the KWYCYCC<br />
child care workers a driver were preparing<br />
to take kids to school when<br />
they noticed that the wheels of there<br />
Toyota Quantum were missing.<br />
'They alerted me and on inspecting<br />
the area we noticed that all four tyres<br />
and rims were stolen and the Quantum<br />
was left standing on bricks,' said<br />
KWTCYCC spokesperson Zeally Genade.<br />
'A concrete slab of the wall was<br />
removed and the security fence was<br />
lifted in the corner to gain entrance<br />
into the yard.<br />
'Two of the Quantum's wheel caps<br />
were lying on the outside of the yard<br />
at the entrance the thieves had created.<br />
'I contacted the police and they told<br />
me that they would send a police<br />
vehicle over shortly. We made alternative<br />
plans to transport our kids to<br />
school.<br />
'I went to the police station around<br />
8:00 am to report the matter and<br />
opened a case.<br />
'On Tuesday the police came to<br />
the Centre and took finger prints from<br />
the Quantum and later on a police<br />
detective also came,' said Zeally.He<br />
said the home was very troubled by<br />
this act and saddened that people<br />

Amathole Museum gives support to The Young Patriots Programme<br />
OPPURTUNITY: Museum educator Gcina Vani in the foreground and young patriots in background Sive<br />
(Right) and Olwethu (Left) holding the National Flag.<br />
DURING the previous week<br />
Amathole Museum gave two<br />
young patriots the<br />
opportunity to work with the<br />
museum educator on a<br />
nation building event which<br />
forms part of the museum’s<br />
programmes.<br />
The museum educator Gcina<br />
Vani and two young patriots<br />
Sive Sauli and Olwethu<br />
Mpaku visited Qaukeni<br />
Lower Higher Primary School<br />
some 20 km out of King<br />
William’s Town on the line to<br />
Peddie where the school had<br />
a special programme for<br />
hosting of the National flag.<br />
This programme was<br />
attended by SAPS,<br />
Provincial Department of<br />
Education, members of the<br />
community and educators<br />
from several surrounding<br />
schools. The team from the<br />
museum presented a lesson<br />
on the importance of the<br />
National flag elaborating on<br />
the significance and meaning<br />
of the various colours in the<br />
flag. They also talked about<br />
the dos and don’ts such as<br />
the flag cannot be used as a<br />
table cloth, should not touch<br />
the ground, no logos and<br />
slogans are printed on the<br />
flag etc. They also told their<br />
audience that the National<br />
flag at all times has to be<br />
treated with respect and<br />
dignity. They explained<br />
circumstances when the flag<br />
is flown at half mast. Further<br />
on they said that when the<br />
flag is being raised people<br />
around are expected to<br />
accord due respect by<br />
standing still.<br />
Amathole Museum Director<br />
Fred Kigozi said that, the two<br />
young patriots are part of a<br />
team of 32 Eastern Cape<br />
youth for The Young Patriots<br />
Programme (TYPP) who<br />
were selected, trained and<br />
thereafter posted in all the<br />
EC Provincial districts to<br />
promote social cohesion and<br />
nation building. Sive and<br />
Olwethu report to Amathole<br />
Museum but spend most of<br />
their time in the surrounding<br />
schools conducting TYPP<br />
business.<br />
TYPP is a partnership<br />
between the National Youth<br />
Development Agency,<br />
NYDA and the National<br />
Department of Arts and<br />
Culture. This 12 month<br />
programme has the main<br />
objective of educating the<br />
youth about history and<br />
heritage through practical<br />
experience.<br />

me mentioning a word. He even used a mirror to show me real-faces of<br />
people who were trying to pull me down. Miss Jessica and Dr Regan<br />
performed special prayers for me, cleansed me from bad luck & also<br />
gave me powerful love crystals plus a special ring to fix my financial<br />

Kuselo appeals to community<br />
to support winter drive<br />
KUSELO is busy collecting<br />
blankets, bedding and warm<br />
clothing towards their "lets<br />
help for winter" drive currently<br />
underway in support of children<br />
and adults who will feel<br />
the cold this coming winter.<br />
'It is a sad reality that many<br />
children and adults are homeless<br />
and for those that do<br />
have homes they are unable<br />
to afford or obtain warm clothing<br />
and bedding,' said Kuselo<br />
director, Amanda Coetzee.<br />
'With your help we will be able<br />
to keep some persons warm<br />
this winter.'She asked that all<br />
unwanted clothing items that<br />
you may are donated towards<br />
the winter drive as people<br />
are desperately in need of<br />
help.<br />
'Our biggest age range is 5 to<br />
12 and <strong>17</strong> to 25 years. We<br />
also have adults who are in<br />
our care, therefore any adult<br />
sizes are most welcome.<br />
'A big appeal is also for any<br />
shoes - all sizes, as most of<br />
the children who we serve in<br />
the community do not have<br />
any shoes to wear.<br />
'We also appeal to the<br />
community for any food items<br />
such as canned foods or dry<br />
condiments so that we can<br />
start preparing food parcels<br />
that we can hand out,' said<br />
Amanda.Kuselo is also a<br />
distribution centre and 'we<br />
will collaborate with<br />
community<br />
charity<br />
organisations closer to June<br />
to donate items to them if we<br />
have collected a large<br />
amount to ensure that<br />
individuals in all areas benefit<br />
this coming winter as it is our<br />
wish that most individuals<br />
have a warm winter this year,'<br />
concluded Amanda.If you<br />
wish to donate please contact<br />
Amanda on 0725127227,<br />

Adopting a pet<br />
SPCAs do not give away<br />
animals nor do they sell<br />
animals – animals are<br />
ADOPTED from SPCAs.<br />
This may seem like we are<br />
playing word games but<br />
there is a big difference. Let<br />
us explain.<br />
All cats and dogs that are<br />
adopted from an SPCA will<br />
be sterilised to prevent them<br />
from either having (or siring)<br />
any unwanted litters; they<br />
will be vaccinated to<br />
safeguard them from<br />
contracting diseases such<br />
as distemper or parvovirus;<br />
they will be dewormed to<br />
assist in the elimination of<br />
internal parasites, they may<br />
also be dipped to ensure<br />
that there are no external<br />
parasites; and they will<br />
receive some form of<br />
identification (either a<br />
microchip or a collar bearing<br />
an ID disc). This is what<br />
prospective owners are<br />
paying for whenever they<br />
adopt an animal from an<br />
SPCA. The actual animal is<br />
for free!!<br />
If you take into<br />
consideration that simply to<br />
sterilise a dog at your local<br />
veterinarian can cost<br />
anything between R1,150<br />
and R1,350 and that a<br />
vaccination and deworming<br />
can cost R350 and upwards<br />
it quickly becomes apparent<br />
that the R450 to R500<br />
adoption fee that SPCAs<br />
charge to adopt an animal,<br />
covering all of these<br />
expenses – and more, is not<br />
expensive at all.<br />
Certainly if we start to look at<br />
the prices charged by<br />
‘back–yard' breeders who<br />
sell animals through<br />
classified advertisements, at<br />
pet shops, flea markets or<br />
over the Internet, it again<br />
becomes very clear what<br />
good value is offered by<br />
SPCAs. It is very important<br />
to remember that the backyard<br />
breeder is generally not<br />
concerned where their<br />
puppies or kittens end up,<br />
nor do they usually ensure<br />
that the animal has a clean<br />
bill of health – we only have<br />
to count the number of times<br />
SPCAs are contacted by<br />
broken hearted owners who<br />
have bought an animal only<br />
to have it fall ill (and even<br />
die) a short time after the<br />
purchase due to illness or<br />
disease. Owners have been –<br />
known to run up high<br />
veterinary bills trying to treat<br />
a sick pup or kitten that they<br />
have only just bought.<br />
SPCAs on the other hand do<br />
their utmost to only home<br />
healthy animals – and if the<br />
animal does fall ill within the<br />
first 7 days of adoption they<br />
will treat the animal at their<br />
own cost. This does not<br />
unfortunately cover an<br />
animal that has been injured<br />
through the new owner's<br />
neglect – such as an animal<br />
that is run over due to the<br />
gate being left open for<br />
example.<br />
The public may argue that to<br />
purchase a puppy or kitten<br />
from the local pet shop does<br />
not cost anything like the<br />
cost of adopting an animal<br />
from an SPCA. Again, it<br />
should be reiterated that the<br />
animal does not cost<br />
anything when adopting an<br />
animal from the SPCA – the<br />
fee charged merely<br />
subsidises and does not<br />
even cover the cost of the<br />
care and treatment provided<br />
to the animal and we would<br />
hope that anyone<br />
purchasing an animal from a<br />
pet shop would have the<br />
animal sterilised, vaccinated<br />
and dewormed – to not do<br />
so would be irresponsible<br />
and would not be putting the<br />
welfare of the animal first.<br />
Paying a private<br />
veterinarian to carry out<br />
these procedures will<br />

from an SPCA<br />
definitely cost much more<br />
than the SPCA adoption fee.<br />
The officially adopted<br />
Statement of Policy of the<br />
SPCA movement is to<br />
"discourage the keeping of<br />
domestic animals by those<br />
who do not have the<br />
facilities, time, financial<br />
means or level of interest<br />
necessary to ensure a<br />
satisfactory standard of care<br />
and husbandry for their pets”<br />
domestic animals deserve<br />
to be loved, cared for, taken<br />
to the vet when necessary,<br />
played with, taken for walks<br />
and so on. SPCAs are<br />
careful to ensure that these<br />
qualities are available in all<br />
prospective homes. This is<br />
why we do not home dogs<br />
just for security – and rather<br />
advise people to contact a<br />
security firm and hire a<br />
guard if they are concerned<br />
about safety. Our animals<br />
are homed as PETS and of<br />
course, if these animals<br />
bond with their owners, they<br />
will express natural<br />
behaviour, becoming<br />
protective of their new home<br />
and family and raise the<br />
alarm by barking at intruders<br />
that come onto their property.<br />
Members of the public have<br />
asked the question "If<br />
SPCAs have so many<br />
animals – why do they not<br />
give them away for free?”<br />
Whilst this question has<br />
already been answered, it<br />
should be added that if a<br />
prospective owner cannot<br />
afford to pay the modest<br />
adoption fee, how would<br />
they be able to pay for<br />
quality food, veterinary fees<br />
and the other costs that<br />
arise in providing the best<br />
level of care for your pets.<br />
SPCAs home animals<br />
responsibly as we intend for<br />
homed animals to remain in<br />
that same home for the rest<br />
of their lives which may be in<br />
excess of 10 years. In an<br />
attempt to ensure this, all<br />
properties are inspected<br />
before an SPCA animal is<br />
adopted. This is to establish<br />
that the property is large<br />
enough for the species of<br />
animal being homed, that<br />
any animals already living<br />
on the property are in good<br />
condition and will accept the<br />
animal being adopted, that<br />
the walls and gates are high<br />
enough to keep the animal<br />
in (obviously this particular<br />
concern would not strictly<br />
apply to cats but they would<br />
still require a safe<br />
environment) and to ensure<br />
that there is some form of<br />
suitable shelter for the<br />
animal. No animal will be<br />
homed if it is going to be put<br />
onto a chain – not even a<br />
running chain, as this is no<br />
life for any animal. It may<br />
seem that the criteria for<br />
adopting an animal are<br />
stringent, but they are<br />
entirely in the best interests<br />
of the animal.<br />
The SPCA has a saying that<br />
goes – ‘owning an animal is<br />
a privilege and not a right'<br />
and the animals that come<br />
into our care are either<br />
strays that have become<br />
lost or been abandoned as<br />
well as cats and dogs that<br />
are unwanted and are<br />
handed over to SPCAs; and<br />
of course animals that have<br />
been neglected and illtreated<br />
and removed by<br />
SPCA Inspectors in order to<br />
find new loving homes<br />
where they will never again<br />
be subjected to any form of<br />
ill-treatment. We take this<br />
onerous responsibility very<br />
seriously and Societies for<br />
the Prevention of Cruelty to<br />
Animals cannot permit any<br />
of these animals to go to any<br />
homes where they will be<br />
anything else but loved and<br />
cared for – we cannot be<br />
part of letting these animals<br />
down.<br />

Possible fuel drop wiped<br />
out by tax increases<br />
ALTHOUGH fuel prices are<br />
predicted to drop in April,<br />
most of the benefit of the<br />
decreases will be wiped out<br />
by the increases to the<br />
general fuel, and Road Accident<br />
Fund (RAF) levies.<br />
This is according to the Automobile<br />
Association (AA),<br />
which was commenting on<br />
unaudited mid-month fuel<br />
price data released by the<br />
Central Energy Fund (CEF).<br />
The general fuel levy will<br />
increase by 30 cents, and the<br />
RAF levy by nine cents, on 1<br />
April. Based on the current<br />
data, the AA is predicting that<br />
petrol will decrease by 51<br />
cents litre, diesel by about 27<br />
cents a litre, and illuminating<br />
paraffin by 32 cents.<br />
“This means that while motorists<br />
may have expected the<br />
current price per litre of petrol<br />
to drop substantially, they will<br />
now only see it going down<br />
by around 12 cents a litre.<br />
Diesel users, on the other<br />
hand, will see an increase of<br />
12 cents a litre, with the levies<br />
eating up any gains,” the AA<br />
said.<br />
First Class Seat<br />
A blonde gets on an airplane and<br />
sits down in the first class section of<br />
the plane. The stewardess rushes<br />
over to her and tells her she must<br />
move to coach because she doesn't<br />
have a first class ticket. The blonde<br />
replies, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I<br />
have a good job, and I'm staying in<br />
first class until we reach Jamaica."<br />
The disgusted stewardess gets the<br />
head stewardess who asks the<br />
blonde to leave. The blonde yet<br />
again repeats "I'm blonde, I'm smart,<br />
I have a good job and I'm staying in<br />
first class until we reach Jamaica."<br />
The head stewardesses doesn't<br />
The Association noted international<br />
petroleum prices have<br />
continued to decline leading<br />
to the expected drops at the<br />
end of the month.<br />
"OPEC's reduction in its crude<br />
oil output targets has been<br />
countered by increasing global<br />
oil stocks held by non-<br />
OPEC nations," the AA said.<br />
"This has gradually pushed<br />
the oil price down to near the<br />
levels it was maintaining<br />
before OPEC's output targets<br />
were adjusted, which is good<br />
news for South Africans."<br />
The Association said that the<br />
Rand / US dollar exchange<br />
rate had remained nearly flat<br />
since the end of the month,<br />
meaning South Africans were<br />
likely to see the most of the<br />
benefit of the oil price drops.<br />
"The Rand has shed around<br />
four cents against the dollar<br />
since the start of March. If<br />
this period of relative stability<br />
in the exchange rate continues,<br />
the currency will only<br />
have a small influence on the<br />
fuel price at month end," the<br />
AA concluded.<br />
even know what to do at this point<br />
because they still have to get the<br />
rest of the passengers seated to<br />
take off; the blode is causing a<br />
problem with boarding now, so the<br />
stewardess gets the copilot.<br />
The copilot goes up to the blonde<br />
and whispers in her ear. She<br />
immediately gets up and goes to her<br />
seat in the coach section. The head<br />
stewardess asks the copilot in<br />
amazement what he said to get her<br />
to move to her correct seat. The<br />
copilot replies, "I told her the front<br />
half of the airplane wasn't going to<br />
Jamaica."<br />
I can bring you as<br />
much joy as when<br />
you are browsing<br />

FRIDAY <strong>17</strong> MARCH 20<strong>17</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 11<br />
Transnet's widespread cat<br />
poisoining condemned,<br />
appeal for witnesses<br />
TRANSNET'S proposed<br />
method of eradicating cats in<br />
and around various premises<br />
owned by the company has<br />
met with shock, anger and<br />
absolute condemnation by<br />
the National Council of SP-<br />
CAs.<br />
The NSPCA asks what kind<br />
of people would advocate<br />
cruelty to living creatures on<br />
this scale? The brutal, pitiless<br />
and ruthless treatment of cats<br />
who will suffer or have<br />
already suffered terribly, prior<br />
to death is inconceivable.<br />
Yet, the “knock-on” effect<br />
extends to the secondary<br />
poisoning and the suffering<br />
of other creatures: - including<br />
owls and other scavengers.<br />
Do they care? We think not.<br />
Mirriam Tenyane, the compliance<br />
officer for Transnet, has<br />
allegedly commissioned a<br />
poisoning protocol to operate<br />
nationally at Transnet sites<br />
where there are feral cats.<br />
Poisoning animals is a contravention<br />
of the Animals Protection<br />
Act No 71 of 1962.<br />
The NSPCA issued a warning<br />
in terms of the Animals<br />
Protection Act to Ms Tenyane<br />
on Friday 10 March 20<strong>17</strong>, in<br />
which the need to stop<br />
poisoning cats with immediate<br />
effect was emphasised,<br />
failing which, criminal charges<br />
in terms of the Animals<br />
Protection Act may be laid.<br />
Correspondence was submitted<br />
to the Executive Director<br />
of Transnet, requesting an<br />
urgent meeting to discuss the<br />
matter. To date, the NSPCA<br />
has received no response or<br />
feedback despite additional<br />
telephone calls having been<br />
made and emails sent.<br />
Whilst it is acknowledged that<br />
problems may arise with<br />
regard to homeless or “feral”<br />
populations<br />
of<br />
animals, HUMANE methods<br />
of control, handling and<br />
resolution must be employed.<br />
The NSPCA assures all<br />
concerned individuals that we<br />
shall pursue this matter<br />
relentlessly and steadfastly.<br />
An urgent and heartfelt appeal<br />
is made to welfare<br />
organisations and caring<br />
individuals, including employees<br />
of Transnet, to come<br />
forward with any evidence of<br />
cruelty, poisoning or the<br />
mistreatment of any animal<br />
by Transnet. Signed affidavits<br />
are required.<br />

...and then there is that guy<br />
who “has given -up-smoking”,<br />
but still lights up our smokes<br />
for us at The Ritz. He has<br />
about seven of us in his<br />

world, you might say, but on<br />
doing a calculation the other<br />
night, that, at an average of<br />
three “lights” per day over five<br />
days, he actually and indirectly<br />
makes contact with my lips<br />
ten times per week – this vastly<br />
outstrips my wifes quota by<br />
at least nine. Worse still, take<br />
the other six guys into account<br />

time that we spoke about it.<br />
After everyone had given his<br />
or her opinion, one fella, who<br />
had been quiet all the time<br />
submitted his piece of profound<br />
magic to the conversation,<br />
and it went like this : “I<br />
don't have a medical aid. I<br />

that keeps all the germs confused<br />
and I don't ever get<br />

FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS.
THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> FRIDAY <strong>17</strong> MARCH 20<strong>17</strong><br />
King police cluster members in fitness progamme at Dimbaza<br />
MEMBERS from the KWT<br />
Cluster SAPS embarked on a<br />
fitness programme against crime<br />
in Dimbaza last Friday morning.<br />
'This initiative is part of the<br />
Back to Basis approach that<br />
police members must be fit at<br />
CRIME RUN: Scenes from the SAPS Cluster crime programme in Dimbaza<br />
all times,' said King police at the Dimbaza Complex about<br />
spokesperson Captain Siphokazi crime in their area and how to<br />
Mawisa.<br />
prevent it.<br />
Pamphlets were distributed in 'Police walked 4.5km from<br />
the area and the King Cluster Polar Park, Dimbaza to the<br />
Commander Brigadier Ngubelanga<br />
addressed the community<br />
Dimbaza police station,' said<br />
Mawisa.<br />
She said all Station Commanders<br />
in the Cluster pledged their<br />
commitment and support the<br />
'Back to Basics' approach<br />
in fighting crime in their policing<br />
precinct.
FRIDAY <strong>17</strong> MARCH 20<strong>17</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 15<br />
Ice Box and Klippies set for top place at Sunset Bowls<br />
THE excitement is palpable and<br />
expectations are high ahead of the final<br />
round of the Pick ‘n Pay-sponsored<br />
Sunset Bowls set for last night.<br />
It will be a straight shoot-out for the final<br />
positions with The Ice Box skipped by<br />
PJ Mauer, in first place and Klippies<br />
skipped by Bronwyn Penny fighting it<br />
out for top spot.<br />
Both teams are on 14 points going into<br />
the final round with The Ice Box sitting<br />
on a shot profit of plus 39 and Klippies<br />
on plus 36.<br />
Rhona Westmann of the Klippies team<br />
said her side was wary of the Ice Box<br />
side.<br />
“The side and especially Rodney Vermaak<br />
are bowling well so we have to<br />
be at our very best,’’ she said.<br />
Klippies have done well to fight their<br />
way to the top after sitting in the top five<br />
for most of the series while the Old<br />
Dalian Union, who for a while were<br />
sitting at the top, have now dropped to<br />
fourth place, one position behind thirdplaced<br />
the Fatcats. Both these sides are<br />
on 12 points.<br />
The TNT Junior team of Josh Turner,<br />
Andrew Lentz and Ethan Grunewald,<br />
playing in the event for the first time are<br />
also on 12 points and in fifth place<br />
Don't Say This To A Cop<br />
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold<br />
my beer.<br />
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar<br />
detector wasn't plugged in..<br />
3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?<br />
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125<br />
mph to keep up with me! Good job!<br />
5. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?<br />
6. I pay your salary!<br />
7. So, uh, you on the take, or what?<br />
8. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer<br />
only gave me a warning, too!<br />
9. Do you know why you pulled me over?<br />
Okay, just so one of us does.<br />
10. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I<br />
know there is no other car around-that's how<br />
far ahead of me they are.<br />
11. Well, when I reached down to pick up my<br />
bag of money from the bank robbery, my gun<br />
fell off my lap and got lodged between the<br />
brake pedal and the gas pedal, forcing me to<br />
speed out of control.<br />
12. Hey, is that a 9 mm? That's nothing<br />
compared to this .44 magnum.<br />
Catch The Rabbit<br />
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD),<br />
The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove<br />
that they are the best at apprehending<br />
criminals. The President decides to give<br />
them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest<br />
and each of them has to catch it.<br />
The CIA goes in. They place animal<br />
informants throughout the forest. They<br />
question all plant and mineral witnesses.<br />
After three months of extensive<br />
investigations they conclude that rabbits do<br />
not exist.<br />
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no<br />
leads they burn the forest, killing everything<br />
in it, including the rabbit, and they make no<br />
apologies. The rabbit had it coming.<br />
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours<br />
later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is<br />
yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"<br />
followed by the Central side also on 12<br />
points.<br />
Last week early rain threatened to<br />
disrupt but by the time players took to<br />
the greens it had pretty much cleared –<br />
again a gift from the Gods.<br />
Unlike the preliminary rounds where two<br />
games were played each Thursday over<br />
seven ends, the final round will be just<br />
one game with 14 ends played.<br />
The highlight of last nights event was<br />
the prizegiving which is held after the<br />
final round. It is always well attended<br />
with each team member receiving a<br />
prize.<br />
It will also be a sad farewell to Sandy<br />
and Tony Elliott who for years have<br />
convened the event with Sandy organising<br />
the teams and Tony seeing to the<br />
scoring.

KINGSRIDGE High School’s<br />
u13A Hockey 5s team did<br />
themselves proud this term<br />
by walking away unbeaten at<br />
the first ever Hockey 5s tournament<br />
which was hosted by<br />
Clarendon Primary School in<br />
East London.<br />
'This was the first tournament<br />
of its kind for primary schools<br />
in the Eastern Cape and all<br />
teams were a little tentative<br />
at the start,' said KHS u13A<br />
hockey coach, Wayne Grâtz.<br />
'However, the KHS u13s led<br />
by their captain, Catelyn Farrer,<br />
did well right from the<br />
get-go.'<br />
They beat Hudson Park 3-1;<br />
Stirling 8-1; George Randell<br />
9-1; and Clarendon 4-2. Catelyn<br />
Farrer, Nelisiwe Mthembu<br />
and Dominique Alexander<br />
were nominated as the<br />
team’s Most Valuable Players<br />
(MVP) in their respective<br />
matches.<br />
The format of the matches is<br />
four players at a time and a<br />
goalkeeper – 'our keeper,<br />
Amkele Ndyoko, made numerous<br />
saves – and then<br />
rolling substitution,' said<br />
Grâtz.<br />
'The players had great fun<br />
and learned invaluable lessons.<br />
This was a good start<br />
to the upcoming hockey season<br />
and we look forward to<br />
strong competition this year.'<br />
'The Hockey 5s tournament<br />
will continue in the 4th term.<br />
We thank Clarendon Primary<br />
for hosting such a tournament<br />
for our players,' concluded<br />
Grâtz.<br />
