To all thedefiant others who do not – wise up!WEEDY ON HILLDo we still have what was once calledthe parks department in themunicipality? Just asking.Judging by their height, some of theweeds on the pavement just below theHigh Street/Hill Street corner (easternside) have been there a very long time.Come on now, municipalcouncillors and officials, this is in thevery centre of town, a busy, highprofilearea.Surely it will not take more than anhour or two to sort it out?MARKET ON THE FIELDDue to the Covid-19 pandemic, theannual Grahamstown ChristmasMarket will not take place in the PJOlivier school hall, as has been the casefor a few years.Instead, a morning market,organised by Ilze Curling, will be heldon the school’s main sports field from9am to 2pm on Saturday, November28.More than 30 stalls are expected totrade on the day. For more informationcall Curling on 076-151-3050.GRUBBYOn walking past the taxi rank in QueenStreet the other day, I was disappointedto see how grubby the area was, withlitter strewn about, and weeds andgrass growing freely.MONITORS ON THE HILLPJ Olivier Primary School’s monitors for2021 were announced at its prizegivinglast week, with their parentspinning their badges to their blazers.The 2021 monitors are ConreHenning, Viola Kivitts, KungotandoNdizweni, Khwezilonso Smaile,Langalam Smaile and Marthinus vanWy k .GOLF DAY AT THE BELMONTThe GBS Mutual Bank-sponsored golfday at Belmont Golf Club on SaturdayNovember 28 will be played as abetterball with lots of prizes on offer.The entry fee is R250.For more information and to enter,contact Deon on 082-924-4797.SPORTS AWARDSAt its Grade 12 prize-giving, GraemeCollege presented sports awards forcricket, swimming, waterpolo andtennis, a notable exception beingr u g by.Due to Covid-19 lockdownregulations, the inter-schools’ r u g byprogramme did not take place this year,apart from Graeme’s annual rugby dayPIPING HOT: A smaller-than-usual St Andrew’s College pipe band, comprising fourpipers, a bass drummer and two snare drummers, enter Church Square for the annualRemembrance Day Parade Picture: SID PENNEY.REMEMBERING THE FALLEN: Among those laying wreaths and showing respect for thefallen in World Wars and other conflicts are staff and pupils of PJ Olivier High School, ledby principal Joubert Retief (centre).

Entry fee for the beterballstableford is R1,400 per fourball.HE LAID THE STONEA reader wondered the other day howPJ Olivier High School acquired itsname. On a subsequent visit to theschool, I noticed a foundation stone atthe entrance to the admin block.It stated the foundation stone waslaid by the Administrator of the CapeProvince, Mr PJ Olivier, on MondaySeptember 17 1956. Now the readerknows and I know.OUT OF INTERESTJoining the “working class” in January1964 on the staff of the GrahamstownPost Office after leaving school, I wasencouraged by colleagues to open aPost Office Savings Bank account,which I did, and earned interest.Not much interest in those days, butit was something.Later, I opened a similar account atthe United Building Society (rememberthem?) and earned interest as well.No bank charges or other levieswere deducted from either account inthose days.Many years later, I closed thosesavings accounts and opened one atanother financial institution, and overthe years I sort of forgot about it.A few months ago I found thesavings book and thought I’d close thataccount and withdraw the almostR300 in it.Surprise, surprise! The balance was“nil”, and it was explained to me thatvarious monthly administrationcharges had been levied.So much for a savings account.
