After being unbeaten in the initial round of the Border bowls competition, Spring made it to the semifinals played at the Comrades Bowling Club r e c e n t l y. After winning his semifinal clash 21-10, he went on to beat Neil Friend of Gonubie 21-13 in the final. Another club bowler, Josh Turner, also won his semifinal match, but lost 20-21 in the final. “I was very disappointed,” said Turner who is a first-team rugby prop for Dale High School. Spring, who also played rugby and cricket in his younger days, said he had learnt bowls was a drawing game. “Play each end one at a time and try not to give more than one shot away at a time. It also takes just one bowl to change an end,” he said. Spring added a lot of concentration and self-discipline was needed. He said that on the day of the final, the wind was strong and it was important for him to find his line and length quickly. “I would like to thank club member Craig Ainslie for transporting Josh and I to East London for the final. We spoke bowls all the way there and not having to drive took a lot of pressure me,” Spring said. King Bowling Club president Gordon McCune said he and the club were proud of both Spring and Turner. “As a club, we were hoping for an all-King final and Josh came very close to making it. We are proud of both of our bowlers as they kept the King flag flying high,” McCune said.

The funds were utilised to build a jungle gym and upgrade the centre’s the wireless FM system. Having a new jungle gym will help with the holistic preparation of the children for mainstream schooling. Climbing helps children learn how to solve problems and also exercises the memory because they need to remember certain grips and the location of hand and foot holds. “We have children from previously disadvantaged communities who don’t only need assistance with their hearing aids, but also with meals and c l ot h e s , ” said Carel Du Toit Centre principal Paula Kumm. “We recently had a fundraising event where we hosted Miss Deaf South Africa Lethiwe Ntaka and managed to raise R5,000. In a n ot h e r event we had a few weeks ago, we raised R23,000 which will make a huge difference for the centre. “We would like to thank Algoa FM for choosing us as their beneficiaries, and for spreading much-needed awareness about the Carel Du Toit Cent re,” Kumm said. “It is thanks to the wonderful support our charity golf day receives from golfers of all walks of life that we are able to support this one-of-a-kind centre in our Border broadcast region,” said Algoa FM marketing manager Toinette Koumpan. PILING UP: BCM has failed to properly remove debris caused by a car crash more than three weeks ago Picture: MATTHEW FIELD ‘Branching out’ into dump GIVING BACK: Carel Du Toit Centre principal Paula Kumm with children of Carel Du Toit Centre during the Algoa FM Charity Golf Day Picture:SUPPLIED MATTHEW FIELD Despite numerous complaints to Buffalo City Municipality, little has been done to clean up the corner of Belgrave and St Matthews roads after a truck crashed into a tree and caused the intersection to be completely blocked by fallen branches (“Truck crash leaves Belgrave Road blocked off”, February 21). The initial incident occurred on the morning of February 17 when a truck crashed into two jacaranda trees, breaking off large branches which then lay across the road and prevented access. According to local resident Tessa Booth who the GO! & Express first spoke with on February 18, workers only arrived on February 21 to remove the debris from the road. However, instead of taking the debris away to be properly disposed of, they left it on the p av e m e n t . “Then they came a few days later with a bakkie and a trailer with about six people and all they did was sit there and talk,” she said. The GO! & Express visited the area again last Thursday. Not only were the branches still heaped on the pavement, but rubbish had begun piling up in the gutters. “Now people are starting to use it as a dumpsite,” B o ot h said. She also said the lack of proper disposal was causing security concerns in the area. “People have been sleeping in [the piles of branches] and when my people come in, they are being attacked.” The municipality had not responded to a request for comment at the time of going to print. My name is Justin Bowden. I am a registered biokineticist and have opened up a private practice in Beacon Bay, East London. I have been practicing as a fully qualified biokineticist for seven years and am registered with the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as well as the Biokinetics Association of South Africa (BASA). I graduated with degrees in human movement science (BHMS. NMU) and iokinetics (BA. Hons. NMU) from Nelson Mandela University (NMU) in 2010 and 2012, respectively. I have worked in occupational health and wellness settings. My passion lies with orthopedic, cardiac and neurological r e h a b i l i t at i o n . The most common question I get asked is what differentiates biokinetics from physiotherapy and in short, the answer is this: biokinetics deals with the later phases of r e h a b i l i t at i o n , preferably six to 12 weeks post-surgery. We are also trained to work with special Advertising feature Biokineticist ready to help population groups i.e. patients who have or suffer from strokes, low muscle tone, muscle dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, heart attacks, coronary artery bypass surgery and so forth. The most common complaints I come across are lower backache and shoulder pain. My job would then be to assess you orthopedically and from the assessment, decide what muscles need be strengthened and what muscles need to be stretched out, to provide adequate support and stability to the affected joint(s) or area. My practice is l o c at e d JUSTIN BOWDEN at 1 Crestview, Beacon Bay, East London with adequate parking.
