PROMPT work by Umvoti Municipalelectricity personnel early on Mondaymorningprevented22households frombeing totally chilled out after cablethefts vandalized the Sasko sub stationagain.

A resident reported the problem at6am and set into motion the rescuework.

Evidently, thecable thievesmusthavebeen disturbed as they had cut the neu-tralwire from the transmitter to the lowvoltage cable, but there was no furtherdamage.

The thieves had cut the barrel bolt onone door. This causes homes with 220voltage to experience a blast of 400volts, creating an imbalance, whichblows light globes, televisions etc. andis a very costly problem for the house-holder. Spokesman for the electricitydepartment, G Balzer, told the Grey-townGazette thathehad sourced speci-alisedmaster lockswhich are due to ar-rive any day and will be placed on substation doors. The most frightening as-pect of all this is that electricity theft iscosting South Africa ten billion rand ayear.

NOT only Umvoti, but most parts of SouthAfrica experienced some of the coldesttemperatures in years last week.

InGreytown,RamBagdath reports fromPannar research department that Thurs-day, 10 July, a minimum of minus 5.9 re-corded was the second lowest in 35 years.Thecrunch startedhereonTuesday, 8 Julywith minus 1.4; Wednesday, 9 July plum-meted to minus 5.6; Thursday 10 Julydropped a little more whilst Fridaywarmed up to minus 2.6 and Saturday, 12July to just minus 1 but Sunday droppedagain to minus 1.9. Despite a heavy mistandcloudon themorningof14July, a com-paratively warm 2.8 degrees was record-

ed. Maximums on those days ranged from9.5 on 8 July to a high of 23.1 on 12 July.Thepreviously lowestever in35yearswasa minus 8 in June 1992.

The good news is that this week theweather will be warmer but another coldfront is possible towards the end of theweek and the weekend.

Keep warm ...and please drop off warmclothes and blankets at the Greytown Ga-zette office for distribution to the manyneedy (and cold) in the district.Lake watcher the level of Lake Murthley

THE South African National Blood Service(SANBS) has been hard at work ensuringthat a blood shortage is avoided.But despite all efforts in place, it seems theextremely cold weather is keeping donorsaway.

Traditionally, the winter months are adifficult time due to schools and universi-ties being onholidayaswell as the increaseof illnesses suchas fluwhichhasanegativeimpact on blood collection. This placesSANBS under immense pressure to collectsafe and good quality blood products.

SANBS needs to maintain a blood stocklevel of five days at all times, by collecting3000 units of blood per day to meet the de-mand of the thousands of patients who arereliant on blood transfusions for their sur-vival.Howeverat themoment, itonlyhas1.5daysof blood stock available on a national level.It is only with the help of the selfless blooddonors that they are able to ensure that pa-tientswhoarereliantonbloodtransfusionswill be able to receive it.

SANBS is appealing to people, particu-larly to regular donors, to not miss out ontheir next donation date.They also appeal to other members of thepublic who meet the minimum require-ments tobecomeblooddonors tohelpboostsupplies by committing to donating blood.

Minimum blood donor requirements:• Aged between 16 and 65 years• Weigh 50kg or more• Good health• Lead a sexually safe lifestyle.

Blood Shortages this winter

Sweet spud record?

IT is as beautiful as it is rare.A frost flower is created in autumn

or earlywintermorningswhen ice inextremely thin layers is pushed outfrom the stems of plants or occasion-ally wood. This extrusion createswonderful patternswhich curl and fold intogorgeous frozen peti-oles giving this phe-nomenon both its nameand its appearance.Conditions have to be

just so for frost flowersto form. Early winter isthe optimum time tocomeacross themasal-though the weatherconditions must befreezing - it is vital thatthe ground is not, so water can besucked up in the stem.As the temperaturegets to freezing

or just below, the sap in the stem ofthe plants will expand. As it does so,the outer layer of the stemcomes un-der increasing pressure and micro-scopically thin cracks, known as lin-ear fissures, begin to form.These will finally give way under

the pressure of the sap and splitopen, forming cracks for the waterto come out through and then freeze.Water is continuously being drawn

up the plant's stemwhile the ground

remains unfrozen. It travels up theplants external structural stem andreaches the splits.

As it does so, the water oozes outslowly and freezes. But there is stillmore water coming behind and as

this water reaches thecracks it too freezes,pushing the previousslither of ice away fromthe stem.Incredibly, the frost

flower effect can hap-pen to wood even whenit has been made in toa fence or a gate.In thiscase the water is ex-truded through thepores in hewood ratherthan the cracks.

The frost flower has a number ofother names - frost castles, ice cas-tles, ice blossoms, or even the veryscientific sounding crystallo-folia.If you come across one - be careful.

Rather than attempt to pick it, takea picture!Frost flowers are incredibly deli-

cate and will more often than notshatter when touched.Not only that, as they are made of

such thin sheets of ice, they will meltaway as the sun rises higher in thesky.SOURCE;INTERNET

SIR,My husband and I recently came

to Greytown to stay on our family'sfarm for a fewdays, andwhat a de-lightful face of the towngreeted us.

I've been coming to Greytownand the farm every year or twosincewemoved to theurban jungleof Gauteng in 1996, and althoughI am making the best of city life, Ireally miss the country life andcommunity spirit of the town. ButI have to admit thatmost of the vis-its in the past have left me increas-ingly disappointed - the state and

appearance of the town, in termsof litter, disorganised informaltraders on the streets, and the gen-eral appearance of buildings etc.So it was such a wonderful experi-ence to visit the town now and seewhat I reallyexperiencedasa“newface” of Greytown.

Driving through the town, thefirst thing that struck me was thatthere was practically no litter onthe streets or sidewalks, and thatthe informal traders’ stalls wereneat and clean.

It also looked to me as if the

school buildings and grounds havereceived more maintenance thanin previous years, as well as themuseum grounds and some otherbuildings in the town. I was veryexcited to see two quite large con-structionsites inthetown.Unfortu-nately, we did not have time to visitmany places in town as it was ashort visit, but the general impres-sion I got mademe very impressedand proud of my Greytown roots.

Thank you Greytown for a lovelyweekend!

Teresa Nel (nee Walls).

Recent visit to the new face of Greytown

SIR,The national elections came and

went over twomonths ago.Howev-er, Greytown is still littered withelection posters.

While some parties have re-moved their posters, sadly othershave not done so.

Onewould have thought that themunicipality would have attendedto the problem, but I suppose it isatallordertoexpect themunicipal-ity to ask, amongst others, the rul-ing party to remove their posters.

Ian RedfernEditors note: In the years when

municipal bylaws were still in ac-tion,politicalpartieshadtoremovethestreetposterswithinashortpe-riod of time otherwise a penaltywas imposed. Any official com-ments as to whether this still ap-plies?

What about the election posters?

SIR“Life is a book with many chap-

tersSome tell of tragedy,Others of triumph.Some chapters are dull and ordi-

naryOthers intense and exciting.The key to being a success in life

is to never stop on a difficult page.To never quit on a tough chapter.Champions have the courage to

keep turning the pages becausethey know a better chapter liesahead for with God, nothing is im-possible.God BlessHave a fabulous day.

GARLIC lovers sometimes findthe preparation of those deli-ciously flavoured cloves a timeconsuming problem.

So some hints to speed it all upin the kitchen:Garlic>> freeze the clove and the skin fallsoff when you peel.>> If you are musical ­ take same size

metal bowls put the garlic in andshake, shake, shake!Do several cloves at a time ­ the vibra­tions separate the peel; from the garlicwithout crushing the bulb.Hard boiled eggs:>> Once the egg has been boiled hard,cool and place in pot with cold water,put a lid or plate over and shake.Shell comes off. But remember this on­ly works when the hard boiled egg iscold.Making powdered sugar>> Its so frustrating ­ you making thatspecial recipe for a special occasionand you forgot there was no castorsugar in the kitchen. Take ordinary ev­eryday sugar ­ one cup and mix it withone teaspoon cornstarch in a blenderor food processor ­ process until pow­dery. A coffee grinder can be used forjust a small amount. Push through afine sieve to remove any “unpow­dered” particles.

Pipping cherries>> Place the cherry upside down onthe slightly smaller opening of a glassbottle. Use something like a chopstick

to push the pip through the cherry adinto the glass bottle.Keep Avos green>> Place the whole avo in a jug ­ pour boil­

ing water over to cover ­ leave for not morethan two minutes. Not only shrugs its skinoff but also stays green for up to 12 hours.Based on Internet info.

From theditch

ALTHOUGH the team names of“Brutal Bastards, The Retards, TheA Team and War Vets” sound likethe names of war games teams,these were actually the names ofsome of the teams playing in theMascor fungolfdayonFriday,11Ju-ly hosted for their technical, salesandworkshopstaff fromall theirdif-ferent branches.

A shortened course consisting ofonly four holes was reconstructedand redesigned, because some ofthese golfers moved large portionsof land and other so called golfersmoved large parts of “fresh air.”

Fun was had by all the partici-pants and organisers and congratu-lations go to the winning Greytownbranch team called “The Greytown

oldies.SHARK look a-likes" whichwon the day under the captaincy ofCorne Hattingh, with 20 shots overthe shortened course. At prize giv-ing that evening, nine players cameforward to collect the floating tro-phy...a good indication of GreytownMascor branch back up service andsupport.
