Manny’s co-owner Bill Nester remembers when hundreds of people would flow in and out of his Marshall Street store on Syracuse game days. Then the pandemic hit, and hundreds turned into “maybe a dozen or so,” Nester said. Until last Saturday, when 900 students were allowed into the Carrier Dome for a men’s lacrosse game and only 250 showed, the fan experience on the Hill was dormant for 370 days.
Shirt World owner Dave Jacobs had similar experiences. So did Scholars and Champs owner Bert Aufsesser, whose store is located downtown. The pandemic has pushed apparel store owners to their creative limits to sustain a viable income. Students have kept them afloat, too.
Cresting a kopje and descending to a rock pinnacle that juts out over the Palala River valley in the Waterberg region of Limpopo, we approached the same spot, known as Lepotedi, that Clive Walker and Dale Parker stood on in March 1981. We visualised a pristine wilderness stretching as far as the eye could see and beyond.
Four decades later and that vision has been realised in the form of the Lapalala Wilderness Reserve, which, at 50 000ha, is the largest private game sanctuary in the region. Lapalala is at the heart of the 650 000ha area designated in 2001 by Unesco (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) as the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve.

“His historical knowledge of the city was tremendous,” said Bedford Planning Director Brandon Woodward. Jacobs served both as president on the Bedford Historic Review Board and Bedford Planning Commission.
“His input and concern for the city were greatly appreciated and he will be greatly missed,” added Woodward.
“I have a good life and enjoyed every minute of it,” Jacob commented to a WBIW reporter in February 2020.
Mr. Jacobs became owner of Bedford Furniture Galleries when he purchased the store from his father in 1969.
