With the rising food costs, associated with the drought, the Hilton Produce Exchange has been initiated to bring together backyard gardeners for swapping and sharing high quality local food on a regular basis in a spirit of generosity and fairness; to connect with likeminded people and to encourage others to start growing local food at home. The emphasis is primarily on organic fruit and veggies, open-pollinated / heirloom seed and preserves, but could also include healthy homemade baked goods, cut flowers, even second hand books, clothes or upcycled crafts.

These books are aimed at children between about 4 years and 8 years of age and combine fun with learning activities. Konki and Lonki are an African brother and sister, and they have fun with their animal friends in all sorts of activities. Each book has an initial full colour educational section followed by a self-teaching colouring-in part. The first book, Konki and Lonki at Home (2009) has now almost sold out (1000 copies) locally, but is still available via amazon.com (search either the title or under author pseudonym Marianne Dufornet). In August 2015, Konki and Lonki at Home was launched round the world at all the major bookfairs by Marianne’s publishers, SBPRA (Houston, Texas), including venues at Beijing, New York, London, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Paris, Dubai and in Mexico, Brazil, India and many other major centres. Since arriving in Hilton a couple of years ago, Marianne has completed two further titles in the series. Book number 2, Konki and Lonki at the Hairdresser (2015) has sold well locally by direct sales, and is also on sale at various bookshops locally (including the Lazy Lizard in Howick, White Cottage Books at the Junction in Nottingham Road, the Toy Hut at the Quarry Centre in Hilton, and Bookworld at the Cascades Centre) where it sells for R120-00; it can be bought directly from Marianne for only R90-00 (071-178 6760). This month, Marianne’s latest book in the series, Konki and Lonki in the City (2016) has just become available (R90-00 by direct sale) and is a bumper book at 60 pages of fun.

Grace College Past Pupil, Richard Taylor, has just been awarded the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science, with distinction, at Rhodes University. Richard was able to put his passion for agriculture and the environment to good use for his research project. He investigated the use of treated brewery effluent as a water and nutrient source in crop irrigation. Richard’s external examiner from the USA said his work has great implications for agriculture and environmental restoration in arid and semi-arid environments throughout the world. He is now starting his PhD in the same field. Grace College is proud of Richard’s achievements and wishes him all the very best for his PhD.
