Dogs die in hot cars, even on a mild day tempera- tures in a car with open win- dows temperatures can eas- ily reach 60 degrees celsius.

The source since 1870 Seeing things clearly

On Sunday Grocott’s Mail had the extraordinary privilege of sharing the excitement and enthusiasm of 35 Grahamstown (Makhanda) school children as they discovered new ways of seeing their surroundings. We were privileged, too, to work alongside mentors from WESSA, Rhodes Journalism, Zoology and Entomology, the South African National Institute of Biodiversity, and the chil- dren’s own amazing teachers. Everyone braved a cold and drizzly early Sunday morning start to make the most of a chance to share photographic skills, and learn how to spot small wildlife most of us would never have guessed was in the Makana Botanical Gardens. If the future of our natural heritage is in the hands of young people like this (pupils and student mentors included), there’s definitely hope. This was the second successful Photo Walk organised by the Grocott’s team – the first was just over a month ago at the Joza Youth Hub, in partnership with our Syracuse, New York ‘Our Town, Your Town’ project across the Atlantic. This time, it was to encourage children to enter the WESSA #CelebrateNatural- Heritage photographic competition. The competition closes at midnight today and there are three categories: scholar, adult amateur and professional. Links to more details at the end of the story on page 12. In 2016 the Election Connection team put Makana council- lor candidates and political parties on the spot in a series of public debates leading up to the local government elections. Once again, we’ve teamed up with local media partners and Rhodes Politics and Journalism schools to bring panel discus- sions and debates that we hope will make you a better in- formed voter. The Grahamstown Film Club recently made a R5 000 generous donation to NELM’s education and outreach programmes. Belinda Tudge What is the constitutional responsibility of the municipality (eft) and Elysoun Ross are seen with NELM’s Zongezile Matshoba ( Manager: Education and Public Programmes).

SA’s crime statistics for 2017/18, released this week, show a 33.7% jump in drug-related crime detected by SAPS, recorded at Grahamstown Police Station. But police alone can’t halt the tide of the growing drug trade in our city and the terrible effect it has on our community. Reporting by Sue Maclennan
