  • Proof Reader: Nikki Jones ❷

    (No dialogue shall be entered into).

    After more than ten years wielding her red pen at The EDGE, Nikki is not only passionate about making sure our ‘i’s are dotted and ‘t’s crossed- she also assists in assessing what is and isn’t suitable for reading consumption in a community newspaper.

  • Accounts and Classifieds: Margie Mather ❸

    (044) 3432415

    With 15 years at The EDGE Margie is the backbone of the business, and normally the voice of sanity that keeps it on track and viable as a newspaper. She not only handles all the figure work, billing and money collection, but also manages the office, keeps the rest of us in line (almost) and controls the classified advertising. When deadline day is on – she gets stuck in and assists with page make up too. (Possibly the only bookkeeper in the world who is proficient in Corel Draw!)

  • ❹ Design and Layout: Kelly Webb

    (044) 343 2415

    Co-owner of The EDGE since its inception in 1998, Kel is responsible for advert design as well as the layout of the newspaper up to print stage. She stares seemingly impossible deadlines in the face without breaking a sweat, even when they whoosh past, and somehow always comes up trumps with a great looking paper.

  • ❺ Editor and lifter of heavy things: Bomber Webb

    072 516 4701 / (044) 343 2415

    Having been the only man on the team since day one, Bomber has learnt to keep his head down when the pressure is on. He writes most of the leading news articles in The EDGE, and, where necessary, assists with the design. He tries to manage the company too, when the ladies let him.

  • The Others

    The EDGE also has a large group of ‘unnofficial’ team players who are a huge part of the paper’s success and longevity. Without its regular columnists, photographic submissions and story-seekers from the community, The EDGE would certainly not be the paper it is today.

MASITHANDANE'S 'ANYTHING THAT FLOATS' MAKES A SPLASHThis year's Anything That Floats, held on Saturday, 28 March on Fish Eagle Green, was once again a day of raucus fun, ingenuity, chaos, incredulity, water, sunburn, laughter, genius, failure, entertainment, idiocy, more water, prizes and a general lack of engineering ability. A huge thank you to all the teams who took part: The two Sedgefield Scout teams - 'Loki' and 'Odin's Hammer', the Roos Family's 'Snow White', Forest Roots 'Green Machine', Sedgefield Lions' one-man entry 'The Otter', and the motley crew on the EDGE's craft - 'SS Mild Fury'. Every one of these teams certainly put 'All hands on deck' to ensure the crowds gathered on the shore to watch/laugh/point fingers/shake their heads in disbelief were not disappointed.This year there was, disapointingly, no absolute failures (yes - even the EDGE's craft stayed afloat) so the wonderful folk from NSRI who kept an eye on proceedings did not have to perform any serious rescues.When the brilliant MC Cornel Delafield began the prize-giving ceremony, the overall winners on the day were the never-say-die crew members of Odin, who snatched victory from the 'Snow White' team after one of the dwarves left his beard floating in the lagoon. This, according to the judges, broke the ATF's all-important 'Leave Nothing Behind' code of ethics, costing the seven little fellows and their team's namesake valuable points and pushing them back to second place.Numerous other prizes were awarded, so the over-achievers, under-performers, suspected mushroom embibers and suspiciously political campaigners in the other teams all went home with the sense that their floating craftmanship had been appreciated.A number of businesses and individuals came to the party to support this community event - huge appreciation to Brian Groom of Fish Eagle Financial Services and Andy Brough & family for the donation of R1000 each for the cash prize given to the overall winners, and to prize donors Pili Pili Sedgefield, Pick n Pay Sedgefield, Kraaibosch Shell, MacButners, Kahunas, Harry's, Stoned Oxygen Pty Ltd.Also thanks to the folk from Sedgefield Animal Matters, who were present and even paid the entry fee, despite not having a craft taking part.Thanks to the four judges (names withheld due to accusations of bribery and corruption currently under investigation), Mike Hofhuis and Brian Groom for capturing the antics with their cameras, Safety Officers Michael and Mike for ensuring we were absolutely safe from any pending disaster, and the amazing Masithandane Team who helped with applications, gathered prizes, manned the food stall and generally organised 'stuff'.See you all next year! ...
