The Penguin Waddle 2015
“Given an annual rate of decline of about 2% per year, there is considerable concern about the long-term viability of African Penguins in the wild. The African penguin population is currently less than 5% of the original population and still declining rapidly — as a result, it has been classified as ENDANGERED by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and is listed in Appendix II of CITES and the Bonn Convention for the conservation of migratory species.

Betty's Bay, Quo vadis?
Slightly less than a year ago my wife and I arrived with all our worldly possessions in our beautiful and, judging from the appearance, a very tranquil, Betty’s Bay. I am not one of the ordinary ‘incomers’. In fact, for many years I have owned a plot in our town and I have enjoyed many holidays here. Also, I am a true ‘Capey’ in that I started life in Tiervlei, which later was renamed Parow Vallei.

Fire fighters' thanks
During the recent run away fires which were experienced in Bettys Bay many residents came to the fore in providing refreshments to the gallant fire fighters battling the blaze. As you can appreciate the work of these firefighters is exhausting over such a long period of time and they require sustenance and drinks during breaks to keep them going.
