LIFE AND TIMES WITH COLLIN
A false sense of security?
I am not instinctively negative. I tend to see the positive in most
situations. While it's never enough, Rotary Clubs and other sister
service organizations do touch lives in a positive way. This they
achieve with limited resources be it a wheelchair, a warm meal, or a
warm blanket on a cold winter's night. These are points of light that go
some way to making a difference to those less fortunate. And I take hope
from this.
What dented my somewhat sanguine spirit was while addressing a group of
Round Table ladies on fly-fishing last weekend. Round Table was having
their area conference at a local resort on the Vaal River. 'Would I be
prepared to do a talk on fly-fishing for the ladies while the men were
busy with their conference?' 'Sure only a pleasure'.
Fly-fishing can get quite complex so I decided that I would limit my
presentation to a few basic topics a little history; some fly-tying;
elementary tackle requirements; the dynamics of casting; and lastly, the
real thing, fly-fishing.
I thought most of it went well. The odd girl tried her hand at tying a
fly. I was quite impressed at the outcome, considering that this was the
first time any of them had been at a tyer's vice. The casting proved a
little more tricky, with some managing to keep the line airborne for a
while.
It was the fly-fishing that was the issue. The Vaal River had been in
the news of late regarding sewage spills and other contaminates. What do
I do? don't tell them and hope for the best! Or do I tell them and let
them decide? I decided on the latter as being the right course of
action. 'Any of you watch Carte Blanche a few weeks ago?' 'Yes', came
the near unanimous reply. Right there and then it was decided that there
wouldn't be any venturing into the water. I was particularly saddened,
not so much by the ladies not wanting to fish, but by the fact that the
condition of the water was the determining factor.
And against this backdrop I am expected to be positive and optimistic
and display a sense of national pride. The previous week, while flipping
through the channels, I came across this guy who was over the moon about
the state of South Africa. While I was taken by his obvious jingoism he
had all the facts and figures on why I should be a proud South African.
Well I would like to be a proud South African. A clean Vaal River would
make me, for one, a proud South African.
This mighty river is the very lifeblood for many people of this country.
She is a national asset belonging to all South Africans. Are we as
citizens not entitled to expect that something as vital as water, on
which we all depend, should be kept as pristine as possible?
With voting season upon us I can almost hear the political rhetoric: 'We
had other priorities which had to be dealt with first. Potable water is
now on our to do list.' Please spare me the diatribe.
Or have we become banal about what is happening around us? That it's
okay to have a polluted river flow by us? It's okay that one day there
wont be any fishes left to catch? Che Sera Sera (what will be, will be).
I am pleased that the condition of the Vaal River has not fallen
entirely on deaf ears. There is a voluntary, non-profit organization
known as SAVE, acronym for: Save the Vaal Environment. Their stated
objective is: 'To protect and maintain the environmental integrity of
the Vaal River and its environs for current and future generations . .
.' Please visit their website at: www.save.org.za They are going to need
all the support they can get. Taking on Big Brother is a tough ask.
Getting back to the T.V. programme, I often find myself (possibly I'm
naïve) being swept by the sheer strength of a person's personality. This
guy was a disciple for South Africa. Good for him! We need disciples.
Buy we also need to be realistic. There are plenty of tell-tale signs
that all is not all honkey-dory in sunny South Africa. I like the term
that Alan Greenspan coined, when he became concerned with the
overheating of the American economy during the I.T. bubble of the
1990's. Share prices were escalating at unprecedented rates. Clearly
this could not go on indefinitely and he suggested that sooner or later
something was going to give. The irrational exuberance, according to
Greenspan, could not be maintained.
Similarly, I wouldn't like our spin-doctors, who are on healthy doses
ofI, to infect all of us all with varying degrees of myopia.
The bottom line is that we have problems. Let's admit to them and find
remedies.
Right now all I want is that I get invited back (next year maybe?) and
complete what I set out to do - show some Round Table ladies how to
catch yellowfish on the Vaal with a fly-rod.
Chat again next week.
NW behind Bafana Bafana
The call by Premier Edna Molewa to the people of the North West to wear
Bafana Bafana jerseys on Friday received an overwhelming and
enthusiastic response from public servants. Staff from the Provincial
Legislature stole the show as everyone, without exception, put on the
Bafana Bafana jersey.
Ga-Rona Building complex, which houses the Legislature and government
departments, was turned into a sea of yellow as public servants
demonstrated their loyalty and support to our national team. The call by
Premier Molewa is intended to raise maximum awareness around the
forthcoming Confederations Cup and the 2010 World Cup and rally the
nation behind our national team.
BRAND SPANKING NEW CLUB HOUSE FOR ROTAR PARK COMMUNITY
On Friday night 27 February 2009 The Rotary Club of Klerksdorp launched
the newly renovated Rota Park Community Hall in Klerksdorp. The hall
will be the official Club house for Rotary and Probis Members and will
be used for community functions as and when needed. It has been built to
assist and complement the Rota Park community and has certainly boosted
the value of the Rota Park not only financially but has made a huge
status and Rotary image statement within the community.
The evening was enjoyed by 180 guests most of who were sponsors towards
the mammoth task which began some 18 month age. Guests were spoilt with
sponsored food and cocktails from Coobah and local talented bands like
Thami and Friends and Matlosana marimba Band. The club now boast their
very own cocktail called a “Rotary Rocker. ”
A unanimous decision was made by the Rotary Club of Klerksdorp to
upgrade the facility and the business community of Klerksdorp came to
the party with generous donation in cash and kind.
Congratulations to the members of Rotary Club of Klerksdorp for another
successful project and to the community of Klerksdorp who assisted
greatly in making the dream Real. The Rotary International official
slogan for this year is “ Making Dream Real” our club certainly achieved
this never forgetting or neglecting their charity projects for the
years.
