Continuing our journey in the West Coast along the N7 our next area that we are visiting is the Bergrivier region. Here we find the town of;

 

 

Piketberg.

 


 Piketberg is about an hour and fifteen minutes drive on the N7 from Cape Town. It stands alone in the middle of undulating fields of wheat, green vineyards, partly fallow land and flowering yellow canola.
The mountain range is unique as it stands as an island with Piketberg as its main town on its eastern slopes, the village of Aurora on the west and Redelinghuys to the north. If one is looking for a quiet lifestyle then this is the place to explore.
The perfect way to view the whole town and surrounding areas is to take a trip up the Versveld pass to the top of the mountain where you will drive through acres comprising of apple, pear, peach and orange trees.


On the way up you will have the scent of wild rosemary and will see many yellow Waboom and pink Nerifolia Proteas. Drive further on and take a turn at Langeberg road and head west. When you see a pinetree almost in front of the car, stop and look south. On a clear day Table Mountain is in the distance!
You will not want to leave this beautiful area. Spend a few days exploring and stay at one of the guesthouses B&B’s or self catering establishments in the area.
A bit of History
Piketberg was one of the few points where a cannon was placed on top of the mountain and fired to warn surrounding farmers, especially when visiting ships entered the Cape for fresh stock.

In other instances it was fired when danger was noticed and the farmers had to arm themselves and gather together.
Piketberg also served as an outlook post against the Gonjemans who attacked the farms. The cannon has since then been removed and can be seen today in front of Piketberg High School.

Piketberg lies at the foot of the sandstone slopes of the Piketberg mountain range, which towers above the wheat fields at a height of 1459m or 4788ft on Zebra kop (Zebra head).

In earlier years the imposing mass of Piketberg was in a way an establishment for the Khoi-san and many examples of their drawings can be seen on various farms.

The town Piketberg was established in 1836 when Sir Benjamin D’Urban gave the ruling farm “Grotefontein” to the church council. The church then ruled the town until 1901, and the town grew up around it.


The town serves as an important business center for the farmers, as well as the surrounding smaller towns. Piketberg is a progressive town with a variety of businesses and an outstanding infrastructure. The town has netball courts, tennis courts, golf courses and rugby fields.

The Municipality is known as the Berg River Municipality and Piketberg is the principal town that includes Velddrif, Porterville, Aurora, Redelinghuys, Eendekuil, Goedverwacht and Wittewater.
More on these towns next month.

Farmers Market
 


Every last Saturday of the month up on the mountain there is a morning farmers market. The market started with the locals of the area getting together to sell their produce grown on the mountain. This market has turned into a gem of not only fresh produce but into a foodie venue. Beans, carrots, onions, garlic, almonds, fruit all things seasonal. Some of the gourmet delights you will find are croissants freshly baked these are not sample sizes but light confections to sink your teeth into (this Nosy Rosy goes for the chocolate). If you have had your best samoosa you have not been up the mountain. These are freshly fried and bursting with aromatic spices and chilli, definitely the chilli. Olive oil can be bought by the bottle or bring your own bottle and decant yourself.
A range of freshly made cream cheese products that include a Cream cheese Feta and Garlic Pate, a French herb cream cheese, add anyone of these two gourmet delights to scrambled eggs, mash potato, bake on top of a large brown mushroom or serve with lashings spread on baguette or biscuits.
New to the market is the sausage lady all the way from Tulbach they have brought to name a few of their products salami’s, chaurico, and a selection of German sausages.

 Aromatherapy is treatment using scents. It is a holistic treatment of caring for the body with pleasant smelling botanical oils such as rose, lemon, lavender and peppermint. The essential oils are added to the bath or massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire room. Aromatherapy is used for the relief of pain, care for the skin, alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body. Essential oils can affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves. For all your Aromatherapy info and products get to Roses stand.


For those who did not know where to by Mead or have never tasted it, this is the market. (see article below) Pannekoek made while you watch ensures freshness. There is always a queue in front of the meat man some collecting orders placed at the last market or others getting their supplies for the month. You will find cold smoothies freshly made as well as refreshing iced coffee.
Selections of arts and crafts are available as well as second hand books and woodwork products. Do not be surprised to see shoppers arriving on horseback. Apart from the shopping it has become the meeting place of friends, eating their purchases under the trees and catching up.

What is mead?
Mead is made by the alcoholic fermentation of honey.
To place mead in perspective it is important to take the Makana Meadery crash course in alcohol literacy.
What is alcoholic fermentation?

Yeasts are small single celled micro-organisms which convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas under conditions in which there is no oxygen. This is called fermentation.


Types of alcoholic beverages
Mead - made by fermenting honey.
Wine - made by fermenting fruit (e.g. grapes).
Beer - made by fermenting malt, which is made from seeds.
Other: Palm wine made by fermenting plant sap
If any of these are distilled, the alcohol is concentrated into a spirit and most of the body of the beverage is left behind - hence the word spirit. Spirits are concentrated alcohol and are therefore more dangerous and the consumer must be educated as to how to consume these. They are also flammable.


What is intoxication?
Alcohol causes abnormality in brain function. These abnormalities can possibly, in moderation be useful social tools, aiding conversation, facilitating business transactions, human reproduction and relationships, as well as cementing friendships. In excess the effects are normally the opposite.

History of mead
The word mead conjures up pictures of an inebriated Shakespeare, or a lecherous Chaucer writing risqué stories in Old England. In reality, this was during the decline of mead in Europe.
Mead is a simple and easy alcohol to make. All one has to do is mix honey and water and a little yeast and it ferments to mead. Hence, wherever there are lots of bees and people you tend to find bees. In Europe for many years there was a healthy population of bees, but various revolutions and rapid economic growth killed most of these, so now honey is scarce and you would have to be out of your mind to make mead on a large scale in Europe. And this is the case - mead in Europe is a novelty drink that people buy and generally place on their bars as a talking point. Very few drink it and the majority of European meads are sweetly unsophisticated. There are however some excellent exceptions from countries such as England, Poland, Northern France, Germany and Slovenia.
In Africa, mead is consumed in vast quantity. In subsistence economies honey is harvested from wild or semi wild hives and is rich in pollen and debris - perfect for mead making, but not for sale as table honey.
Famous African meads, consumed in huge quantities are drinks such as the Tej and Meis of Ethiopia, and the iQhilika of the Xhosa people of South Africa. There are many other types of mead unique to every nation in Africa. Most African mead is sold for immediate consumption and sophisticated marketing and packaging channels are not well developed.
Hence a problem exists - African mead is consumed in large quantities in Africa but is not easily marketable outside the continent due to shelf life problems. European mead is produced in small quantities and is marketed as a curiosity not a commodity which is consumed regularly.

Mead Mythology
In ancient times it was believed to be a good thing to give a young couple sufficient mead that they could drink a considerable amount each night for a month after getting married. This was a term politely referred to as a honeymoon - the primary objective of a honeymoon was for a couple to conceive a child. Hence many people connect the dots and suggest that mead is an aphrodisiac. We believe that this may be the case - but mead is also generally a very pure alcohol and as a result if one were to drink a considerable amount of any other less pure alcohol one may fall asleep - which would not help with the conception of children side of the honeymoon.
In Africa the story is that if you drink mead you feel strong like a lion. The Discovery Channel should shed some light on what this really means, given the rather extraordinary libido of lions.
Mead has been seen as being a medicine. In fact the word medicine is derived from the word metheglin (which is pronounced medeglin). Metheglin is a type of mead containing infusions of various herbs.

How to drink mead
Mead is a sophisticated beverage. The flavours in honey are more complex and subtle than those in fruit or malt; hence the mead drinker develops a very discerning palate.
The mouth must be cleared of foreign uncomplimentary tastes, such as toothpaste or peppermints. This is best achieved with a light snack - cheese, pickled quails eggs, light meats or the like.
The mead should be chilled in a fridge for at least an hour before consumption. It is best to let the mead stand in the fridge for 48 hours as this allows it to settle into the bottle and recover from any shaking it may have received on the way from the Meadery to your fridge. Some mead drinkers place ice in the mead - it is important to use good quality water for making the ice as the chlorine in tap water will affect the taste of the mead.
Mead should be poured gently into the same type of glasses used for red wines. This allows a decent amount of mead to contact the atmosphere and develops the bouquet of the mead.
If you have not consumed mead before, we recommend that you start with semi-sweet mead. This can be either spiced or plain mead. Once you have become acquainted with mead in this way you may migrate to less sweet and dry meads.

What to drink mead with
Mead is an excellent accompaniment to most savory dishes. Sweeter meads tend to go well with spicier foods while dry meads are excellent served with delicate dishes such as chicken, duck, fish and calamari.
All meals should be consumed with good friends, music and conversation as has been the way for thousands of years.
Are you a mead connoisseur, or do you want to be?
Wines and beers are normally from a specific region, or culture, whereas there is mead, or a record of mead, for nearly every human culture that has lived with bees.
Hence a mead connoisseur needs to know about the world, and about our planet's cultures. A mead connoisseur needs to understand that a bottle of Kurpiosky Polish mead is going to be very different, yet share a lot in common with a bottle of Makana Meadery African mead from the other side of the world. A bottle of Munro's Mead from Canada will be very different to a bottle of Medovina Hurka from Slovenia.
A mead connoisseur will understand that bees visit thousands of different species of flowers all over the world, making millions of combinations of flavours in their honey every year. Whereas in wine making we are limited to a handful of cultivars of grapes, mead makers have access to honey - a magical mixture of natural flower nectar which will always be different as you never get exactly the same flowers flowering at exactly the same time every year!!
For a mead maker this great diversity of honey types forms the foundation of the art and science of mead making. The style of mead making adds further levels of complexity to the product.
A mead connoisseur is somebody who can appreciate diversity, uniqueness, and above all live with the fact that the chances are she or he will open a bottle of mead, enjoy it and probably never be able to buy another bottle which tastes exactly the same!

Medical Up-Date


 Nosy Rosy will be posting articles by Dr. D. Whitaker on our monthly West Coast News Letter
Dr. Dagmar Whitaker is a specialist dermatologist consulting from her practice in Kenilworth. Dr Whitaker treats all common and uncommon skin ailments including psoriasis, acne, vitiligo, dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, melanoma, skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, Bowen’s disease, moles, warts, pigmentation, solar keratosis (sun damage), etc.
 

MELANOMA-SCREENING: Where are we today?

Reproduced with the kind permission of Dr D. Whitaker


Dr Dagmar Whitaker, Dermatologist, Cape Town President of the Melanoma Advisory Board, SA
Melanoma is and has been for a long time a cause for serious concern in this country. We all know it's a deadly cancer, it's caused by the sun, it often occurs in patients with multiple nevi and prognosis entirely depends on early diagnosis.
The public is informed about the dangers of the sun and preventative behaviour such as sun avoidance, sun protective clothing and regular use of sunscreens. And still - despite all that - the impact of those campaigns does not seem to have altered the outcome as far as Melanoma Management is concerned: The incidence of Malignant Melanoma continues to rise despite all those warnings. It is estimated that at least 850 people continue to die each year from Malignant Melanoma and most of these patients are between 20 - 40 years.
To alter the outcome and prognosis there is only one promising strategy - and that is early diagnosis! Most general practitioners still base their diagnosis on clinical assessment of changes in colour, diameter, elevation and border (irregularity of outline) of a skin lesion, asymmetry of a lesion or a lesion different from other nevi. But one has to admit to shortfalls if one relies solely on clinical examinations because early diagnosis is almost impossible that way.
Most dermatologists use a dermatoscope which is a hand held skin surface microscope. This offers visualisation of subsurface structures of the skin with a 10 x magnification and offers a great improvement in diagnostic accuracy ¬based on the examiner's experience.
But there is this vast group of patients with more than 50 nevi, some of them atypical may be even a family history of Malignant Melanoma, who warrant more specific diagnostic tools. These diagnostic aids are available since the mid 90's in the form of computerised digital Epiluminescence. Initially there was the Mole Max still widely used in many practices and the past 2 years saw the introduction of the Fotofinder. As times go by Technology develops and the quest for more accuracy and specificity is the driving force. The Fotofinder for instances does not only have a mole analyser for screening single moles but also a program for body mapping and dermoscopic skin cancer screening - besides offering documentation for cosmetic treatments for whoever engages in such.
The idea is to improve the distinction between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions using computer-aided algorithms. Unlike the initial mole mapping machine which base their analytic programs on the well established ABCD and 7 -point rule, newer machines like the Fotofinder determine additional characteristics most commonly found in malignant lesions. (I.e. if say "irregularity" is assessed the computer measures how much the smoothest border deviates from irregular areas). Structural characteristics and colour can be analysed most accurately.
Using diagnostic algorithms lesions are classified with a coloured scale and given a score which can be shown to the patient (i.e. ranging from white - nothing to worry about to red = high probability of being a Malignant Melanoma). The software program has got a diagnostic sensitivity of 86% with a specificity of 83%. These values compare to an accuracy only achieved by an experienced dermatologist with an interest in pigmented skin lesions.
Complete skin cancer prevention screens of course must include whether new moles have appeared since the last examination. Comparison of clinical images with the naked eye is time consuming and often does not give reliable results and is not easy if patients have multiple nevi.
To overcome this problem the Fotofinder has got a "body scan" program where 2 images can be compared and any change in colour is marked with a circle. One can then zoom in on these areas and assess the alterations. This combined software assures an excellent supervision and follow up of any risk patient.
Finally the introduction of florescence diagnosis adds value if one wants to diagnose non melanoma skin cancer (Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma as well as well as Actinic Keratosis). It involves the application of a Photosensitising agent (ALA or Methyl ALA) which induces Porphyrin production in tumour cells which can be visible with a florescence lens.
This diagnostic tool can be used with or without the combination of Photodynamic therapy. The Fotofinder is user friendly and offers complete skin cancer screen with one system.
Patients and doctors likewise thrive towards best possible care and diagnostic accuracy and medicine without ever evolving and changes in technology is unthinkable! So with the quest towards perfection, the Fotofinder can be seen as the Doctors or Dermatologists third eye. But one has to remember: Even the most sophisticated technology does not replace clinic assessment. Only the use of all three diagnostic methods (clinical, reflected light microscopy and computer aided epiluminescence) will result in overall improvement in diagnostic accuracy.

Another important tourism award for !Khwa ttu


On 17 January 2011,!Khwa ttu was honoured to be presented with the prestigious trophy of the Skål International Ecotourism Award from the president of Skål South Africa, Envir Mally. The official ceremony of the 9th annual Ecotourism Awards was held during the Opening Ceremony of the 71st Skål World Congress, which took place in Sydney, Australia, on 8th October 2010.
Skål, an international association initiated in 1934, is the world’s largest organisation of travel and tourism professionals. It is the only association which embraces all sectors of the travel and tourism industry in five continents, 90 countries and at over 500 locations, with 20,000 members from hoteliers to travel agents; airline, maritime, waterways, railway and coach transportation companies, tourism media, tourism academies and official tourism promotion bodies..
Skål International is aiming at quality in tourism and values sustainable development in tourism as the key to the industry’s future success and considers ecotourism but one area of the various components of sustainable development and responsible tourism. To encourage the conservation of the environment and help to promote the development of responsible and sustainable tourism, Skål International initiated an awards programme in 2002, during “The Year of Ecotourism and the Mountains” as declared by the United Nations.
!Khwa ttu was identified as performing best practices in ecotourism which emphasises the importance of the interaction between the physical, cultural and social environment, the traveller’s responsibility and the need for active community participation in ecotourism.
In their ninth year, the awards have received continued support worldwide and this year 30 entries were received originating from 19 countries; four from Asia, six from the Americas, eight from Europe, nine from Africa and three from Oceania.
All entries were evaluated by three independent judges and the scores given by each separately, were added up to determine the winners in each category. The primary criteria for the evaluation are based on such points as contribution to the conservation of nature and cultural heritage, community involvement, educational features, business viability and innovation.
!Khwa ttu would like to thank its donors, the local Darling community and most of all, the team members for their dedicated and hard work.

 This Month’s Recipe


  Tried and tested and served many times


  Lime/Greengage Jelly served with Smoked Chicken


 Serves 4-6 people
 2 Packets Lime jelly. (Greengage if you can’t find)
1 Large English cucumber thinly sliced. No need to peel if using English cucumber.
150g Seedless white grapes halved or quartered if large.
Salt and white pepper to taste.

1. Put the prepared cucumber and grapes in a bowl into the fridge to get to the same temperature as the jelly pre-set will be.
2. Dissolve the jelly to packet instructions.
3. Place in fridge until consistency of thickening cream, but not set. A spoon will leave a trail when dragged through.
4. Remove jelly from fridge, add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add cucumber and grapes to jelly and mix in.
6. Pour into a large jelly mould or spoon into individual moulds( makes for a better presentation)
7. Cover with cling wrap. Return to fridge, overnight or until firmly set.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with smoked chicken and a green leaf salad. We use a wholegrain mustard dressing with plenty garlic and honey as the jelly and smoked chicken can compete with a strong flavored dressing

What could go wrong
• Fruit sinks to the bottom--Fruit warmer than the jelly when added.
• Can’t taste/too much seasoning-- Seasoned when jelly was hot.
• Jelly has a soft set--Cucumber very watery, blot with absorbent paper before putting into the fridge. Grapes/cucumber not dried properly after washing.
• Won’t work with diabetic or kosher jelly--set too soft.
