Christo Basson, die nuwe keldermeester by Nuy Winery.

Nuy Wingerd, wat vanjaar sy 60ste bestaansjaar gevier het, het Christo Basson in Oktober as nuwe keldermeester verwelkom.

Christo is slegs die vierde keldermeester in die wynmakery se geskiedenis.

Christo se wynreis het in 2002 by DTK Wines in Rawsonville begin. In 2008 het hy as wynmaker en keldermeester by die span by TCB Wines aangesluit, waar hy meer as ’n dekade deurgebring het om sy handewerk te vervolmaak.

Basson het die pos as wynmaker by Lutzville Vineyards in die Weskusstreek in 2019 beklee, waar hy verskeie toekennings vir sy besonderse wynmaak verwerf het. Sy portefeulje sluit ’n uiteenlopende reeks wyne in – van stil witwyne, rooiwyne, natuurlike soetwyne, gefortifiseerde tot vonkelwyne en organiese wyne. Hy het kwalifikasies in sakebestuur sowel as van EKOV, Wine Training SA en die Cape Wine Academy.

Standard het hom ’n paar vrae gevra:

Hoe het jou belangstelling in wynmaak ontwikkel?

“My pa het die wonderlikste wynversameling gehad. Hy was passievol oor wyne en sy geskiedenis en deur sy passie het ek belangstelling gekry.”

Hoe het jou vorige ervaring jou vir die nuwe rol by Nuy voorberei?

“Ek glo alles in die lewe gebeur met ’n rede en jou verlede berei jou voor vir jou toekoms. Die afgelope 21 jaar in die wynbedryf was ’n baie inspirerende reis en ek floreer om meer te leer.”

Wat is jou eerste prioriteite in die nuwe rol?

“As die keldermeester sal my fokus wees om voort te bou op die goeie fondament wat Nuy Wingerd oor die afgelope 60 jaar gebou het en om seker te maak dat die wynmakery en sy wyne aanhou verbeter en (dat ek) die wynmakery saam met sy produsente na die volgende vlak neem. Ek is opgewonde om te sien wat ons as ’n span kan vermag.”

Wat maak jou die meeste opgewonde oor die maak van wyn in die Nuyvallei?

“Ek het in Worcester grootgeword – my wortels is hier. Dit is ’n baie mooi vallei met ’n uitstekende terroir om belowende wyne te maak. Ek sien daarna uit om saam met die wonderlike span by Nuy Wingerd te groei.”

“Ek ken die streek goed, maar baie verander in vyf jaar. Ek het ’n paar goeie vriende om mee in te haal en dan die nuwe neigings in die streek te leer ken.”

Wat is jou gunsteling-verskeiden­heid om mee te werk?

“Ek het nog altyd ’n spesiale voorliefde vir sauvignon blanc en shiraz aan die rooiwynkant gehad.”

https://showme.co.za/worcester/?p=23269 Avianpark Primêre Ontmoet Blaze die Brandweerhond https://showme.co.za/worcester/lifestyle/avianpark-primere-ontmoet-blaze-die-brandweerhond/ Thu, 16 Nov 2023 11:29:10 +0000 Om brandveiligheid verder te beklemtoon aan kinders gebruik ons Blaze die Brandweerhond ...]]> Breedevallei-Blaze Brandweer gelukbringerDie Breedevallei-munisipaliteit (BVM) het Vrydagoggend 3 November 2023 ’n nuwe vriend aan die leerders by Avianpark Primêre Skool bekendgestel. “Brandweerman Blaze,” ‘n Dalmatiese hond, het vreugde gebring aan die leerders van die skool.

Volgens Hannelie Botha, ’n woordvoerder vir BVM, is Brandweerman Blaze gekies om belangrike inligting oor brand- en lewensveiligheid op ‘n prettige manier aan kinders oor te dra. Dalmatiërs is histories gekoppel aan die beskerming van brandbestryders, aangesien hulle vroeër die perde bewaak het wat waterpompe getrek het.

Blaze se missie is om die mees kwesbare ouderdomsgroep in te lig oor brande, veral in informele strukture. Kinders tussen die ouderdom van 1 en 6 loop ‘n hoër risiko vir ernstige beserings en brandwonde tydens struktuurbrande.

Bo en behalwe dat Blaze belangrike inligting oordra, streef hy daarna om ‘n vriendelike omgewing vir kinders te skep. Gehul in ‘n brandweerman se uniform dien Blaze as ‘n opvoedkundige instrument om kinders vertroud te maak met die voorkoms van ‘n brandweerman in volle beskermende toerusting.

Om brandveiligheid verder te beklemtoon, volg hier ‘n paar noodsaaklike wenke om die welstand van kinders te verseker:

  1. Leer Stop, Val en Rol: In geval van klere wat vlam vat, moet kinders leer om te stop, na die grond te val, hul gesig te bedek, en te rol om die vlamme te doof.
  2. Kruip Laag onder Rook: Beklemtoon die belangrikheid van laag bly as daar rook is. Onderrig kinders om op hul hande en knieë te kruip om inaseming van rook te voorkom, aangesien dit opwaarts beweeg.
  3. Oefen Ontsnappingsplanne: Hou huisbrandoefeninge om kinders vertroud te maak met die vlugroetes. Leer hulle hoe om vinnig die huis te verlaat en waar om veilig buite saam te kom.
  4. Onderrig oor Brandgevare: Leer kinders oor algemene brandgevare soos vuurhoutjies, vuuraanstekers, en kerse. Beklemtoon die belangrikheid om nie met hierdie items te speel nie en ‘n volwassene in te lig as hulle dit vind.
  5. Gebruik “Koel” of “Veilige” Aanraking: Leer kinders die verskil tussen items wat veilig is om aan te raak en daardie wat warm is of brandwonde kan veroorsaak. Beklemtoon die konsep van ‘n “koel” of “veilige” aanraking.
  6. Installeer Rookalarms: Verseker dat rookalarms in sleutelareas van die huis geïnstalleer is, veral naby slaapareas. Toets hulle gereeld en vervang batterye soos nodig.
  7. Skep ‘n Gesinsontmoetingspunt: Stel ‘n aangewese ontmoetingspunt buite die huis vas na ontruiming om te verseker dat alle gesinslede veilig en saamgevoeg is.
  8. Leer Noodnommers: Verseker dat kinders weet hoe om noodnommers soos 911 of die plaaslike nooddienste te kies. Rolspel scenario’s om te oefen wat om te sê in geval van ‘n brand.
  9. Bespreek Brandweerliede en Hul Toerusting: Maak kinders bekend met brandweerliede en hul beskermende toerusting. Verduidelik dat brandweerliede daar is om te help en dat hulle nie bang vir hulle moet wees nie.
  10. Berg Brandbare Items Veilig op: Hou brandbare materiale, soos vuuraanstekers, vuurhoutjies, en skoonmaakprodukte, buite bereik van kinders. Berg hulle op in geslote kaste of laaie.
  11. Monitor Verhittingsapparate: As jy verhittingsapparate gebruik, leer kinders om ‘n veilige afstand te handhaaf en dit nie aan te raak nie. Skakel verhittingsapparate af wanneer dit nie in gebruik is nie.

Vir verdere inligting of om ‘n besoek van Brandweerman Blaze te reël, kontak Mariette Davids, senior brandweerbeampte, by 023 348 9062. Aangesien die brandseisoen nader kom, hou noodnommers gereed: Brandweer – 023 342 2430; Noodnommer vir selfone – 112; Noodnommer vir landlyne – 107 (Vra vir Breedevallei- of Worcester-brandweer/Fire Department).

https://showme.co.za/worcester/?p=23245 Electricity Saving Tips to Reduce Your Energy Bills https://showme.co.za/worcester/lifestyle/electricity-saving-tips-to-reduce-your-energy-bills/ Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:49:35 +0000 In the wake of the recent surge in electricity tariffs, consumers are facing a greater financial burden...]]> Worcester News - Electricity Saving Tips In the wake of the recent surge in electricity tariffs, consumers are facing a greater financial burden when it comes to their energy bills. The Breederivier Municipality (BVM) recognizes this challenge and has taken steps to mitigate the impact on consumers. In this article, we will discuss some effective electricity-saving tips to help you reduce your energy consumption and lower your electricity bills.

Background:
The electricity tariffs for the 2023-’24 financial year were determined to increase by a significant 18.49%. To alleviate this strain on consumers, BVM has approved a 15.1% electricity tariff increase, bridging the gap by absorbing 3.39% through other municipal finance sources. Additionally, BVM has introduced a Small Scale Embedded Generation Policy, promoting the use of renewable energy sources and regulating small-scale embedded generation installations within their licensed electricity distribution area.

Energy Saving Methods:
1. Solar Geysers: Consider installing solar geysers to harness the power of the sun for heating water. Solar geysers are eco-friendly and can significantly reduce your electricity usage for water heating.

2. Load Control Devices: These devices can be connected to your geysers, swimming pool pumps, stoves, and air conditioners. They help manage and optimize the usage of these appliances, reducing energy wastage.

3. Energy-Saving Bulbs: Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs. They consume less electricity and last longer, resulting in cost savings over time.

4. Gas Stoves/Oven: Cooking with gas is often more energy-efficient than electric stoves and ovens. Consider using gas appliances to reduce your electricity consumption in the kitchen.

5. Lower Your Home’s Amperage: Another effective way to save on electricity costs is by lowering your home’s amperage. BVM offers a 20 Amp connection option, which is more affordable than higher amperage connections and comes with no basic charge.

– With a 20 Amp connection, you can switch on a limited number of appliances simultaneously. If you exceed the limit, a current limiter will disconnect the installation to prevent overloading.

– Resetting a tripped power connection is simple; switch off some appliances, reset the circuit, and your electricity will be restored without incurring additional charges.

– It’s crucial to calculate the total load of appliances switched on at the same time to ensure it doesn’t exceed 20 Amps for a 20 Amp connection.

By implementing these electricity-saving tips and being mindful of your energy consumption, you can reduce your electricity bills and contribute to a more sustainable and cost-effective energy usage pattern. These measures not only benefit your wallet but also support the municipality’s efforts to manage electricity costs in these challenging times.

The Springboks secured a triumphant start by defeating the fifth-ranked Scotland in their opening match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup held in Marseille.

Displaying their dominance with two tries, the defending champions concluded the game with a resounding 18-3 victory.

The first half was notably intense, with two Manie Libbok penalties putting South Africa ahead. However, just before halftime, Finn Russell lifted Scottish spirits with a morale-boosting scrum penalty, narrowing the score to 6-3 as they entered the halftime break, still harboring hopes of an upset.

The second half saw the Springboks emerging with renewed vigor, and within three minutes, they sealed the outcome with two quick tries. A sequence of powerful ball carries eventually created the space for Pieter Steph du Toit to cross the try line. A cleverly disguised Libbok kick also found Kurt-Lee Arendse, who was inexplicably left in acres of space to make the catch and touch down. This left the Scots shell-shocked and unable to mount a comeback.

With this victory, South Africa is now considered a strong contender to progress to the quarter-finals. In contrast, Scotland, ranked fifth in the world, will likely need to defeat world number one Ireland to avoid an early exit in the pool stage.

Scotland Holds Firm But Succumbs to Springbok Pressure

The match at Stade de Marseille got off to a frantic start as Scotland seemed rattled, and the defending champions aimed to capitalize on their vulnerability.

Scotland struggled to handle the Springboks’ kicks, with the South African chasers applying relentless pressure and forcing errors.

This pressure extended to the Scottish lineout, where George Turner struggled to find his jumpers.

Amidst these early events, a concerning head clash occurred between Jesse Kriel and Scotland’s number eight, Jack Dempsey. Notably, the TMO and officiating team overlooked this incident entirely, despite the potential severity. It could well lead to a disciplinary review.

Despite South Africa’s continuous pressure in the Scottish half of the field, they failed to fully capitalize on their opportunities. Manie Libbok missed his first shot at goal but managed to score his next two attempts, giving South Africa a 6-0 lead after 24 minutes. However, the Springboks recognize the need to be more clinical as the tournament progresses.

The set-piece battle, particularly in the scrums and lineouts, was a focal point leading up to the game. Scotland did have moments of success in the scrums, particularly when Zander Fagerson and Pierre Schoeman outperformed Steven Kitshoff and Frans Malherbe. However, these moments were infrequent, and the Springboks gained the upper hand in the second half, maintaining their dominance.

The lineout was an area where Scotland struggled significantly. During the Six Nations, their set-piece was a key source of tries, but in this game, they failed to secure clean attacking ball. This allowed the Springboks to stifle Scottish attacks with relative ease.

The Springboks have built their reputation on formidable defense, and this trend continued in the 2023 World Cup. Their defense, organized by the Jacques Nienaber system, effectively silenced some of the best attacking talents on the Scottish side. Even Duhan van der Merwe, known for his attacking prowess, found it challenging to make an impact.

Darcy Graham had a prime opportunity for Scotland, but he missed a crucial pass to his teammate due to a tackle, squandering the chance. The Springboks showcased their title-winning credentials by maintaining their resolute defense throughout the match.

Manie Libbok, named the man of the match, outperformed the brilliant Finn Russell in the encounter. However, concerns were raised about his place-kicking, as he missed three shots at goal, equivalent to eight points. While this did not impact the outcome of this game, it could become crucial in later stages of the tournament.

Despite his kicking struggles, Libbok’s overall performance was essential to the Springboks’ victory. His creative plays, including a stunning no-look cross-kick to Kurt-Lee Arendse, showcased his brilliance. Libbok’s high bombs kept Scotland on the defensive, allowing players like Cheslin Kolbe and Arendse to exploit gaps in the Scottish defense.

In terms of bonus points, both teams missed opportunities. Scotland was wasteful at times during the match, and South Africa felt they left at least two tries on the table. As points on the table are crucial in the pool stages, both teams will aim to make up for this in their upcoming games.

In Pool B, Ireland took the lead with a convincing 82-8 victory over Romania. South Africa will have a chance to catch up against Romania in their next game, while Scotland will look to do the same after their bye week. This pool remains highly competitive, and both Ireland and South Africa are aware that the battle is far from over.

Moreover, these platforms often provide attractive bonuses and promotions, giving you more bang for your buck. The convenience and flexibility of online gambling make it an excellent option when a brick-and-mortar casino is out of reach.

2. Mobile Casino Apps: Gaming on the Go

For those who are always on the move, mobile casino apps offer a fantastic solution. These apps can be easily downloaded to your smartphone or tablet. That allows you to play your favorite casino games wherever you are.

Mobile casino apps provide a similar gaming experience to online casinos. They have a wide selection of games and the added benefit of portability. These apps allow you to access your favorite casino games with a few taps. Many mobile casinos offer exclusive bonuses encouraging players to try their apps, making it even more enticing.

3. Social Casinos: Fun with Friends and Virtual Chips

Social casinos are convenient if you want a more social gaming experience without needing real money bets. These platforms offer a variety of casino-style games. Instead of wagering real money, you use virtual currency or chips. Social casinos also allow you to compete in tournaments without the financial risk.

You also enjoy games while chatting with friends and meeting new people virtually. It’s an excellent way to sharpen your skills, try different strategies and have a good time without worrying about losing real funds.

While not everyone enjoys a brick-and-mortar casino nearby, plenty of alternatives satisfy your gambling cravings. These options ensure that the thrill of the casino is always within reach, no matter where you are in the world.
