Dear Friends<br />
What a month it has been. All I can say is I have never experienced a fire such as the one which ravaged<br />
Knysna and, along with all of South Africa, my heart goes out to all those who have lost their homes, their<br />
livelihoods and so much more. The huge storm in the Cape was also frightening. Is nature is telling us<br />
something?<br />
SITTING ON THE STOEP<br />
When I was a student in the 1950s the Cape Town City<br />
Orchestra was a major attraction and its concerts were<br />
regularly broadcast on Thursday nights. Just after the<br />
war it had a famous conductor Enrique Jourda which<br />
added to its glamour. <strong>In</strong> the 50s my wife used to<br />
babysit for the Principal Clarinetist, Wolfgang Simon<br />
when his wife wanted to attend a concert and I, who<br />
had recently come on the scene, joined the baby<br />
sitting team one night. I remember being given quite a<br />
critical ‘once over’ by Mrs Simon to see if she thought I<br />
was good enough to babysit her child and, even more,<br />
if I was good enough to go out with their family’s<br />
favourite babysitter! Ruth Simon was a fairly direct and<br />
outspoken lady so I never felt I could get away with<br />
anything. It was almost like having to be on the sort of<br />
special behaviour you try to be on when you meet your<br />
prospective/possible/probable future parents-in-law<br />
for the first time. I always felt I had to go through the<br />
process twice!! Anyway they were very kind to Tricia<br />
and then to me; we became close friends and kept in<br />
touch for years afterwards until they both died. Their<br />
‘baby’ graduated from Oxford and became a world<br />
authority with geography as his interest.<br />
South African pianist who plays across Europe, north<br />
and south America, Africa and Asia) described as<br />
possessing a ‘wonderful sound’ and a ‘polished and<br />
refined technique’ and we will be specially watching<br />
the lead clarinetist and thinking of concerts of over<br />
sixty years ago.<br />
These 60 members of the orchestra, all of whom have<br />
devoted most of their lives from a young age to their<br />
instruments, practising, practising, practising, will<br />
be playing together in harmony and unison under<br />
the baton of a famous conductor – it really becomes<br />
a miracle. It’s one of the peaks of world civilization,<br />
a glorious feast of human talent and intellect in a<br />
universal language understood by us all – east or west,<br />
north or south.<br />
…….and its right here in Grahamstown on the<br />
night of 7 July!<br />
…….and I first heard them play in the opera ‘La<br />
Boheme’ at the Alhambra Theatre in Cape Town<br />
in 1947.<br />
……. years later I remember an evening of three<br />
concertos in the Cape Town City Hall with soloists<br />
from the Art Vivo Trio when they played<br />
So when I saw that the Cape Town Philharmonic<br />
the Beethoven Violin Concerto<br />
Orchestra is the highlight of the Festival in<br />
the Grieg Piano Concerto<br />
Grahamstown it brought back some poignant<br />
memories. They will be playing the Franck symphony<br />
the Brahms Cello Concerto<br />
in D minor and the Beethoven piano concerto No. You know it’s quite something when you can go to a<br />
3 with pianist Luis Magalhäes (Portuguese-born symphony concert and it stays with you for the rest<br />

CRACKERJACK<br />
“Everything will pass, the world will perish<br />
but the Ninth Symphony will remain.”<br />
Said of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony by<br />
Michael Bakunin – Russian revolutionary<br />
and anarchist (1814 – 1876)<br />
See what I mean? One can’t get more universal than<br />
this!<br />
The Festival Programme says:<br />
“Beethoven’s sublime symphonies captivate wherever<br />
they are played and No. 3 written in C minor, follows<br />
the pattern that Beethoven developed for his heroic,<br />
yet deeply personal works where conflict and drama<br />
played themselves out in music of imposing nature.”<br />
Not quite the Ninth Symphony but just as compelling.<br />
Sounds like just the sort of medicine we all need at this<br />
moment in our topsy-turvy world.<br />
I think we are very lucky!<br />

MANAGING YOUR<br />
PROPERTY INVESTMENT<br />
Over the past several years, we have discussed<br />
issues relating to continuous maintenance of<br />
your properties. <strong>In</strong> a competitive sales and<br />
rental environment, this is a priority. We are<br />
living in a fast instant gratification era where<br />
time is of the essence. The implications of this<br />
are that buyers and tenants do not have time<br />
or the appetite for home improvements or<br />
maintenance issues.<br />
A very tiny percentage of clients today are<br />
willing to tackle projects and renovations.<br />
<strong>In</strong> our experience, if a rental home looks<br />
neglected, the tenant automatically assumes<br />
that the Landlord is not going to look after<br />
them as they have not kept up with the<br />
general maintenance of their property.<br />
Whilst there are so many rental properties<br />
available to choose from, it is more important<br />
than ever to do your home improvements<br />
speedily to ensure a good secure rental.<br />
Those of us who have had investment homes<br />
over the years, know how much it costs<br />
to get one tenant out and the new tenant<br />
in. It is a very costly business, if you are a<br />
fussy homeowner. The owners that have<br />
neglected to look after their investment over<br />
the years, are suffering now and incurring<br />
months of no income before taking action.<br />
Why should a tenant believe a Landlord that<br />
says he/she will attend to all the work once a<br />
lease is signed?<br />
Honestly, I urge all homeowners, whether<br />
you sell or rent, to always look after your<br />
properties and keep up with current trends.<br />
This will definitely effect a smooth and faster<br />
result.<br />

Racnet Estate Management System<br />
As you are aware, the DHA have implemented a new access control system which greatly improves<br />
functionality and reduces costs. This new system will speed up visitor access and reduce the long gate<br />
queues, providing ALL visitors are sent an access code in advance.<br />
For the past 6 months, we have been validating the<br />
system and with more than 50% of residents already<br />
registered, we are confident of the system benefits and<br />
advantages and now require all remaining residents to<br />
be registered on the system.<br />
To this end, the cut-off date of the old system is<br />
31 July 2017, after which all visitors/contractors will<br />
require an access code for entry as the Click On system<br />
will be deactivated.<br />
RACNET ALLOWS APP, WEB AND SMS<br />

• When using the App, residents will receive<br />
notification for both arrivals and departures,<br />
allowing us all to enjoy a safer environment.<br />

LEGAL MATTERS<br />
What is the difference between an Attorney and a Conveyancing Attorney?<br />
First and foremost a Conveyancer is a specialist attorney who specialises in property transfers.<br />
The word conveyancing is used to describe the<br />
administrative and legal procedures necessary to<br />
transfer ownership (and other rights) in immovable<br />
property from one person to another.<br />
An attorney without this qualification cannot facilitate<br />
a property transfer in the Deeds Office.<br />
<strong>In</strong> terms of the laws in South Africa immovable<br />
property (vacant land, houses, flats, farms, buildings)<br />
can be privately owned. Thousands of property<br />
transactions take place in our country every day.<br />
All dealings with ownership of land in South Africa<br />
are recorded in a public office known as the ‘deeds<br />
office’. The deeds office keeps all information about<br />
the individual pieces of land in our country.<br />
The computer records of the deeds office will show,<br />
for example, who the owner of a particular property is,<br />
when he or she acquired it and (if it was purchased)<br />
how much was paid for it.<br />
The Republic of South Africa's present land registration<br />
system is based on the Land Survey Act (Land Survey<br />
Act 8 of 1997) and the Deeds Registries Act (Act 47 of<br />
1937) (the Act).<br />
This system is dependent on the integrity and the<br />
correct performance of the functions of conveyancers<br />
and the staff of deeds registries.<br />
Section 15A(I) of the Act provides that certain deeds<br />
and documents must be prepared and signed by<br />
a conveyancer who accepts responsibility for the<br />
correctness and accuracy of certain facts set out in such<br />
deeds or documents.<br />
Conveyancers must also have proper knowledge of<br />
the more than 390 pieces of legislation governing land<br />
registration as well as the common law, conference<br />
resolutions, dating back as far as 1938 and all relevant<br />
Chief Registrar's Circulars.<br />
THREE TYPES OF CONVEYANCING<br />
ATTORNEYS:<br />
Transferring Attorney<br />
<strong>In</strong> a ‘typical’ sale, namely a transfer that results<br />
from a sale that was brought about by the efforts<br />
of an estate agent, there are three conveyancing<br />
attorneys involved in the property buying/selling<br />
process:<br />
They transfer the property from the seller to the<br />
buyer. They represent the seller and are appointed<br />
by the seller as the Seller’s privilege.<br />
Registering (or Bond) Attorneys<br />
They register the bond over the property in favour<br />
of the bank that is financing the purchase of the<br />
property. They represent the buyer and the bank<br />
granting the buyer's home loan.<br />
Cancellation Attorneys<br />
They cancel the seller's existing home loan on the<br />
property. They represent the bank cancelling the<br />
seller's home loan and are appointed by the bank.<br />
Questions for next month's issue can be emailed to chrisna@richeattorneys.co.za.<br />

Security<br />
Family Day<br />
The DHA, in conjunction with<br />
• FSS<br />
• SLA Paramedics<br />
• Fireworx<br />
Hosted a family day at the Pavilion on 16 June 2017.<br />
A number of security related speakers addressed the<br />
residents who attended the fun day on the following<br />
issues:-<br />
• Personal Security at home<br />
• The Follow me Home service offered by FSS to<br />
<strong>Dainfern</strong> Residents<br />
• What to do in the event of a fire in your home and<br />
how to treat burn victims.<br />
The children who were at the event were enthralled by<br />
a demonstration on self-defence by JKA Karate <strong>Dainfern</strong><br />
as well as by a puppet show that showed them in a fun<br />
and playful way using a story of a mongoose not to talk<br />
to strangers, not to play with electricity or fire and not<br />
to play with plastic bags.<br />
It was a fun and informative morning for all who<br />
attended the family day and we would like to thank<br />
Knickerbocker Ice Cream for launching their <strong>Dainfern</strong><br />
Ice Cream Tuesdays to the residents of <strong>Dainfern</strong> at this<br />

EDUCATION<br />
Cambridge Primary Curriculum<br />
Cambridge <strong>In</strong>ternational Examinations prepares school students for life, helping them develop an<br />
informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. We are part of Cambridge Assessment, a department<br />
of the University of Cambridge.<br />
Cambridge Primary, typically for learners aged 5 to<br />
11 years, gives schools a world-class curriculum to<br />
develop learner skills and understanding in English,<br />
Mathematics and Science.<br />
Cambridge Primary helps identify a learner's strengths<br />
and weaknesses and can be used to support learning<br />
and development. It prepares learners for a smooth<br />
transition to Cambridge Secondary 1 and beyond.<br />
ENGLISH<br />
Cambridge Primary English enables learners to<br />
communicate confidently and effectively and to<br />
develop the critical skills to respond to a range of<br />
information, media and texts with understanding<br />
and enjoyment. Learners who follow this curriculum<br />
framework will develop a first language competency<br />
in English based on a curriculum designed to be<br />
successful in any culture and to promote cross-cultural<br />
understanding.<br />
Ref:www.cie.org.uk<br />
MATHEMATICS<br />
The mathematics curriculum framework explores<br />
five content areas: number, geometry, measure,<br />
handling data and problem solving. This curriculum<br />
focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions<br />
and relationships so that learners can apply their<br />
mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic<br />
understanding of the subject.<br />
SCIENCE<br />
This curriculum framework covers four content areas:<br />
scientific enquiry, biology, chemistry and physics.<br />
Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating<br />
evidence, planning, investigating, recording and<br />
analysing data. Environmental awareness and some<br />
history of science are also part of the curriculum.<br />

TENNIS UPDATE<br />
Armstrong Tennis Academy (Pty) Ltd<br />
Duane Armstrong, USPTA & SATCA • 082 456 5441<br />
Tennis<br />
Tournaments<br />
Tennis players play tournament for many different<br />
reasons, social, to improve, chase ranking points,<br />
match fitness, to play different players or the love<br />
to compete. I certainly love competing and playing<br />
different players.<br />
Tennis South Arica also cater for all ages, juniors from<br />
under 10 to 18, open and seniors and in the juniors there<br />
are different categories such as platinum, gold and silver.<br />
Because we get older it doesn’t mean we are less<br />
competitive and less driven to excel and reach our goals.<br />
One never loses that competitive spirit and TSA makes<br />
events available for everyone across South Africa.<br />
The question often asked is, what is the correct age to<br />
compete? And what if my child loses and never wants to<br />
play again? Everyone is different and matures at different<br />
stages and some players handle a loss better than others.<br />
Coaches and parents know their students and players<br />
and will guide and teach them how to handle all the<br />
situations.<br />
My opinion is that match toughness and to learn how to<br />
play matches is very important, it is a big part of learning<br />
the game and the earlier the better. Keep in mind that<br />
the student must have the strokes, maturity, and game<br />
to start competing. Throwing a youngster into the deep<br />
end and your not sure if they can swim, then it is definitely<br />
too early.<br />
The other crossroad is that parents and coaches always<br />
play the local tournaments and their view is that when<br />
the youngsters get better and their ranking improves, and<br />
only then will they venture out of town to compete. That<br />
makes a lot of sense, however then they keep playing<br />
all the same kids and get to know their games and start<br />
feeling comfortable. Playing different players keeps them<br />
on their toes, challenges their nerves and they learn to<br />
compete against a broader spectrum.<br />
Therefore traveling to tournaments is an expense and<br />
more time consuming but certainly worth the while. So<br />
clearly my students need to travel more and become even<br />
more match tough with a wider range of competitors.<br />
Have lots of fun competing and reaching your goals!<br />
RUNNING CLUB<br />
The Ultimate<br />
Human Race<br />
<strong>Dainfern</strong> Running Club take their hats off to<br />
the following competitors in the Comrades<br />
Marathon which was held on Sunday, 4 June<br />
2017:-<br />
• Christine Walter in a time of 9:41:21<br />
• Linda Smart in a time of 9:53:00<br />
• Wayne Rosenberg – his first run – in a time<br />
of 10:20:36;<br />
• Lucretia Khumalo in a time of 11:59:59 who<br />
was just, just in time to receive a bronze<br />
medal for her accomplishment! We know<br />
you had to dig deep Lucretia but this was an<br />
awesome run – well done!<br />
The Comrades is definitely “the ultimate human<br />
race” as can be attested by these competitors!<br />
The weekly time trial takes place on a Wednesday<br />
evening starting at 17h45 sharp from the area<br />
behind the kid’s play area at the Clubhouse. We<br />
have distances of 5km, 3km and 1km which are<br />
timed.<br />
As from 12 July 2017 from 17h15 onwards,<br />
Sportsman’s Warehouse will be at the start of the<br />
time trial with various items for sale, including<br />
reflective gear, which, during winter, is an<br />
absolute necessity – especially for our younger<br />
runners, as the time trial is run in the dark and<br />
all other road users need to be able to see the<br />
runners as they traverse the Estate.<br />
We look forward to welcoming everyone –<br />
runners, walkers, power walkers and children to<br />
the weekly time trial.<br />

Become a Lion,<br />
it's the right thing to do!<br />
DAINFERN LIONS FOOTBALL CLUB<br />
Jooste Van Der Westhuizen passed away earlier this year. His son shown in the pic, Jordan is a long<br />
standing member of the <strong>Dainfern</strong> Lions Football Club and like his Dad and Chairman of the club, Nic<br />
Papas, is a die hard Liverpool FC Supporter.<br />
When his Daddy passed away Jordan wrote a letter for<br />
his Daddy to give to God and in the letter he asks God<br />
to let Liverpool win their next game which "they in fact<br />
did".<br />
This Act by the young Lion went viral on social media<br />
all over the world. It was then that the current manager,<br />
Jurgen Klopp wrote to Jordan personally and the entire<br />
team sent him a sign shirt in the spirit of what LFC as<br />
a club stand for which is "YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WALK<br />
ALONE" (YNWA).<br />
Subsequent to all this, Jordan has been selected to<br />
represent the Gauteng Districts u13B team at the<br />
Donosti Cup 2017 in Spain this July. He was chosen out<br />
of 150 players after completing numerous trials. He has<br />
also been selected to walk the South African teams out<br />
at the opening ceremony holding our National Flag.<br />
Good luck Jordan and from the entire <strong>Dainfern</strong> Lions<br />
FC club always know, YNWA.<br />
You his Mommy, Amor, who has taken a lot of negative<br />
criticism from the detractors we also say You'll Never<br />
Walk Alone and to his Sister Kylie, rise and show those<br />
show jumpers out there what you are made of girl.<br />
YNWA<br />
If your child wants to play football then bring him or her along, aged 6 to 18, the Lions are waiting.<br />

HEALTHY LIVING<br />
If you could safeguard your<br />
future health, would you?<br />
You may be born with the obesity or family diseases genes. But new gene knowledge can prevent the<br />
unwanted, debilitating effects.<br />
SUSCEPTIBILITY DOES NOT MEAN<br />
INEVITABILITY ...<br />
The GENEWAY TM tests screen for genetic variations<br />
that may affect your health and weight, or already<br />
do! You can reduce the susceptibility for the risks,<br />
by being proactive and implementing the sciencebased<br />
strategies recommended to you. These may<br />
vary from modest changes in your environment, your<br />
diet, physical activity or adjustments in the nutritional<br />
supplements and medications your take.<br />
GENEWAY TM TESTS TO CHOOSE FROM<br />
For which conditions does the GENEWELL TM test<br />
screen?<br />
The genes included affect the risk to develop<br />
• Heart Disease<br />
• Diabetes<br />
• <strong>In</strong>sulin Resistance<br />
• Depression<br />
• <strong>In</strong>flammation<br />
• Certain types of Cancer.<br />
THE GENEWELL TM TEST furthermore indicates the<br />
genetic influence on the metabolism of<br />
• Cholestrol<br />
• Iron<br />
• Medications<br />
• Oxidative stress<br />
• <strong>In</strong>dicates Vitamin B requirements.<br />
PERSONALISED MEDICINE<br />
Throughout history, the practice of medicine<br />
has largely been reactive - we wait until the<br />
onset of diseases and then try to treat or cure<br />
them. Personalised medicine increasingly allow<br />
health care providers to shift the emphasis from<br />
reacation to prevention.<br />
WHAT CAN THE GENEDIET TM TEST TELL YOU?<br />
<strong>In</strong> addition to indicate the genetic risk of becoming<br />
overweight, some of the factors screened for are<br />
related to eathing behaviours, e.g. binge eating,<br />
emotional or "addictive" eating, how your genes affect<br />
lipolysis (fat burning), do you have a slow metabolism,<br />
or were you born with a sweet tooth and the expected<br />
response to physical exercise during weight loss<br />
efforts. A recommendation about the type of diet and<br />
exercise best suited to your genetic profile is made.<br />

NATURE TRAILS<br />
by Olivia Denny<br />
Poplar Marsh (from the 9th Fairway)<br />
At the 9th T Box walk on the golf path track (towards the Clubhouse) at the small brick bridge a little way<br />
along the fairway, you will see a sign Willowgrove to Poplar Marsh with an arrow pointing South.<br />
Walk through the pretty Willowgrove, cross the road<br />
and follow the cobbled brick path through a pretty<br />
shaded area, meandering up and into Poplar Marsh,<br />
where one cannot help noticing the beautiful bark<br />
of the Poplars, which at different times of the day are<br />
striking and dazzling. This is a good place for those<br />
wanting to capture that unusual picture to enter<br />
- 32 -<br />
into the <strong>In</strong> <strong>Focus</strong> Photographic Competition, so do<br />
remember your camera or phone.<br />
Parakeet Rose-ringed love this area, so keep your eyes<br />
and ears open when walking through the dappled<br />
shade that will give you some relief from the hot sun on<br />
this lovely walk up to Saw Grass or through the Glades.
BIRD OF THE MONTH<br />
by André Marx<br />
White-bellied Sunbird<br />
Cinnyris talatala<br />
<strong>In</strong> June and July many of the aloes in <strong>Dainfern</strong> are in full flower and this is the time that nectar-feeding<br />
birds are in their element. One such bird is our most common sunbird species, the White-bellied Sunbird.<br />
This is one of the easier to identify sunbirds with the<br />
male showing a white belly and iridescent green<br />
throat and back, a feature not evident in any of the<br />
other local sunbird species. Because of the strong<br />
sexual dimorphism shown with sunbird species – as<br />
is evident in the photographs with this article - the<br />
female is and more difficult to identify and is quite<br />
drab compared to the male.<br />
This is a species of light wooded areas and gardens<br />
and parks. It has benefited a great deal from the<br />
planting of trees and nectar producing plants in<br />
suburban areas and is undoubtedly more common<br />
in the greater Gauteng area than in historical times<br />
when there were fewer trees and flowering plants.<br />
It is mostly seen singly, or in pairs when breeding.<br />
Sunbirds cannot exist only on nectar and insects<br />
form an important part of the diet, with bees, ants,<br />
wasps, spiders and even locusts being caught and<br />
consumed or are gleaned from foliage. Nectar is<br />
taken from flowers in the canopy of trees, or from<br />
aloes and plants such as redhot pokers (kniphofia)<br />
that flower at certain times of the year, although<br />
this is mostly in autumn and early winter.<br />
This is a monogamous species, pairing up with one<br />
mate for most of its life. It lays from 1-3 white eggs in<br />
a cleverly constructed and cryptic-looking hanging<br />
nest, positioned in the tree canopy and protected<br />
from predators by dense foliage. Spider web is used<br />
to bind together the leaves and grass used to make<br />
up the nest and incubation is done solely by the<br />
female although both parents feed the chicks.<br />
The White-bellied Sunbird is a fairly common species<br />
that cannot be described as being threatened in any<br />
manner in the region. It is a superb bird to see on<br />
the estate as it dashes around in search of flowering<br />
plants. As long as the banks of aloes and other<br />
flowering plants on the estate that produce nectar<br />
continue to be cultivated we should continue to see<br />
this cheerful bird amongst us.<br />

after tasting this substance. The sharp spines are also a<br />
deterrent and few animals eat these crickets, although<br />
the Kori Bustard and Bat Eared Foxes seem to like them.<br />
NATURE NEWS<br />
by Wim Spronk<br />
Strange<br />
behaviour<br />
Recently in the Kruger National park when<br />
everyone was looking for lions and leopards, I was<br />
fascinated by this insect that looked like it had<br />
come straight out of a horror movie.<br />
Grasshopper spiked on thorn tree.<br />
Frog spiked on barbed wire by Fiscal Shrike.<br />
I had never seen an Armoured Ground Cricket this<br />
colour before. Normally they are grey or light brown.<br />
They certainly have quite an arsenal of anti predator<br />
weapons.<br />
Firstly they have extremely strong jaws and sharp teeth<br />
that can draw blood on humans when bitten. If that<br />
fails to repel a predator they release a yellow substance<br />
that smells and tastes terrible.<br />
I actually filmed one being attacked by a Red Tailed<br />
Skink that grabbed it by a leg and immediately let go<br />
Wandering around <strong>Dainfern</strong> we often come<br />
across insects and other small animals being<br />
“spiked” on thorns or on barbed fences . Many<br />
years ago I was told that this was the work of the<br />
“Butcher Bird” or “Fiscal Shrike”. It was known<br />
as the “Shrikes Pantry” because the bird would<br />
come back and eat it later.<br />
While I still lived in Blairgowrie I had one of<br />
these shrikes in my garden who used a large<br />
aloe for this purpose. It would continually spike<br />
small items of food i.e. beetles, pieces of cheese,<br />
biltong, bacon, spiders and once a small wolf<br />
snake on the thorns at the end of the aloe leaves.<br />
NOT ONCE DID I SEE THE SHRIKE EAT ANY OF<br />
THESE MORSELS<br />
and I am convinced that it is merely a territorial<br />
display warning other shrikes that, “This is my<br />
territory, keep out and stay out!!”<br />
IMPORTANT<br />
Please remember to keep on reporting any interesting sightings in your garden using my email address<br />
thespronks@telkomsa.net. I would also welcome any sightings you may have had on a recent trip.<br />

ECO-FRIENDLY<br />
Simple ways to give back to the earth<br />
This is our home, its time we took care of it.<br />
There are tons of simple ways to incorporate eco-friendliness into your life, without having to completely<br />
change the way you live. If anything, some of these will make your life more simple and enjoyable!<br />
SAY GOODBY TO PLASTIC BAGS<br />
Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They fly off rubbish<br />
piles, garbage trucks, and landfills, and then clog storm<br />
water infrastructure, float down waterways, harm<br />
animals and spoil the landscape. If all goes well, they<br />
end up in proper landfills where they may take 1,000<br />
years or more to break down into ever-smaller particles<br />
that continue to pollute the soil and water.<br />
MAKE YOUR OWN CLEANING AND BEAUTY<br />
PRODUCTS<br />
Most of the products we use daily are made up of<br />
harsh cocktails of chemicals, which can be bad for<br />
your health, and your kid’s health. There are tons of<br />
natural remedies out there to help you save money<br />
and improve your health.<br />
EAT LESS MEAT<br />
Commercial animals take up a LOT of space, water, and<br />
food. It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one<br />
pound of beef. For each hamburger that originated<br />
from animals raised on rainforest land, approximately<br />
55 square feet of forest have been destroyed.<br />
COLLECT RAINWATER<br />
Rainwater collection systems are simple to install<br />
and easy to operate. There is no outside energy use<br />
required that will affect the environment.<br />
Water collected can be used in times of drought.<br />
Collecting rainwater from your home’s roof also<br />
reduces the amount of storm runoff that flows into a<br />
city’s sewer system.<br />
GROW YOUR OWN PRODUCE<br />
When you grow your own food using organic<br />
methods to grow crops and control pests,<br />
you and your family know that the fruits and<br />
vegetables you are enjoying together are safe<br />
and free of chemicals that are harmful to both<br />
health and the environment.<br />
SUPPORT LOCAL<br />
Spend some time looking around your city for small<br />
businesses and farmer’s markets, and consider buying<br />
from them before going to a big-name store. The<br />
owners will surely appreciate it!<br />
SUPPORT COMPANIES AIMING TO BE MORE<br />
ECO-FRIENDLY<br />
Look out for companies who put effort into providing<br />
an environmentally safe product or service. For<br />
example Queen of Clean on site cleaning uses natural,<br />
non-toxic products to clean homes. Another example<br />
is the kids clothing store – Earthchild, which produce<br />
clothing using natural fibres.<br />

GARDENING<br />
By GardenShop in Broadacres Shopping Centre<br />
What to do in your<br />
garden in July<br />
July, traditionally the month of pruning roses and the time of the year where we start revitalising our<br />
lawns for the onset of warmer days and the promise of spring. With pruning top of mind it is a good idea<br />
to look at large trees and shrubs in our gardens with the view of getting in professional tree fellers to shape<br />
and remove dead and diseased branches.<br />
FLOWERS<br />
• Prune Roses from mid to end July, this will exclude<br />
rambling and Old English Roses that are forming<br />
buds now to flower in early spring.<br />
• Plant flower seedlings like Alyssum, Cineraria,<br />
Chrysanthemum, Delphinium, Primulas, Primula<br />
Obconica, Phlox, Petunia and Viola.<br />
• Feed your winter flowering annuals with Multifeed<br />
Flowergro or Margaret Roberts Supercharger.<br />
• Plant Lilium bulbs<br />
• Prune Hydrangeas from mid to end July.<br />
LAWNS<br />
• <strong>In</strong> the Highveld continue to water Kikuyu lawn at<br />
least twice a month.<br />
VEGETABLES, HERBS & FRUIT<br />
• Plant vegetable seedlings like Cabbage, Leeks,<br />
Onions, Moss-Curled Parsley, Swiss chard and<br />
Spinach.<br />
• Water citrus trees.<br />
GENERAL TASKS<br />
• Water and fertilise plants, herbs and annuals in<br />
outdoor containers regularly.<br />
• Continue watering and fertilising spring flowering<br />
shrubs regularly, at least once a week as they are<br />
starting to form buds for flowering in early spring.<br />
• Protect your frost sensitive plants.<br />
• Re-pot indoor and outdoor container plants.<br />
• Improve soil structure by digging in generous<br />
amounts of compost and well-rotted manure.<br />
• Continue mulching soil with compost, sawdust,<br />
bark chips and fallen leaves – this will prevent<br />
solid moisture loss and keep the roots warm<br />
through the winter.<br />
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?<br />
