Kate Olmesdahl in "A Twilight Soiree of Song"
Kate is believed to be the first South African born singer ever to have given a full recital on her own at a public theatre at the age of 13 years.

"Young diva 13-year old Kate Olmesdahl thrilled capacity crowds on two successive weekends in August at the local Masque theatre in Muizenberg. Kate performed under the banner "Twilight Soiree" and her unbelievable renditions of song simple and challenging, left the patrons speechless. The most outstanding aspect of this young girl's performance is not only her voice: it is her maturity, coupled with an innate humility, which endears her to her audiences."

Charismatic Riaan Maritz has an eye and a feeling for space and functionality. He recently opened a boutique style nursery on the corner of Long and Aberdeen street. It is a true reflection of creating functional space and the locals love it! “You can do a formal garden with indigenous plants,” says Riaan. The backdrop in his office bears an almost life-size picture to prove this point – it is of a garden at Arabella Estate. Riaan also featured in the September issue of The South African Homeowner for his amazing garden architecture at Selkirk House in Hermanus Heights. Should you wish to contact this green-fingered maestro, call him on 028 313-1610 or mail hom at Riaan@thegardenco.co.za. Take a peek at the website on www.thegardenco.co.za.

Opreration BRAKENJAN
Since then thousands of dogs and cats have been fed and, with public support, will continue to be fed. Some of the animals are fed daily, and others twice weekly by 84-year old Joyce Rawstorn, who’s become known to all the animals in Zwelihle as an angel in disguise. They know the sound of her car so well, as soon as they hear her coming, they run after her like the rats in the story of the Pied Piper.
The Hermanus Times appreciates the continued support from the animal loving community, especially the stores that set aside special trolleys for donations. Without the efforts of Pick n Pay, Eastcliff Spar, Gateway Spar, 7/11 Onrus and Bay Bargain Centre in the industrial area,  Brakkenjan would not be the success it is today.
Also a big thank you to the restaurants’ that donate their leftovers to Joyce, it makes the food last longer when mixed with pellets. The animals rely on the charity of others, as for some of them it is the only way to get food because their owners are struggling themselves. Some of the dogs and cats do not even have the “luxury” of an owner and they depend entirely on the food Joyce and Annelie deliver.
If you would like to make a contribution, please leave a bag or tin of pet food in the trolleys provided at the shops mentioned above. Know that any donation, large or small, is carefully handed out and fed to dogs and cats that need it desperately. For more info, Janine van der Riet can be contacted on 082 885 0226.



  Experiencing the Breathtaking Beauty of 
Travel Route 44  so inspired us - we have decided
that all our travels and treasured findings of places to go to and things to see should be documented to assist travelers from all over the world - this gem of a road should get super exposure. Great & fresh  information  on our website www.travelroute44.co.za and a monthly newsletter the
Wacky WhaleSong  on What is hip and happening NOW in Pringle, Betty’s, Rooiels and Kleinmond. The idea is to market breathtakingly beautiful R44 nationally and internationally. This kick-arse website is user friendly, with all kinds of features for the adrenaline junkie from overseas, to the couch potato from Cape Town, Pretoria and Joburg.
