Nasionale Braaidag is die breinkind van Jan Scannell, beter bekend as Jan Braai. Hy het sy ‘kwartleeftydkrisis’ in 2005 bereik en gevoel dit was tyd om waarde toe te voeg tot die samelewing. Sy idee was om ‘n projek van stapel te stuur om nasiebou te verbeter – om al die lekker aspekte saam te voeg, en so het die idee van ‘n nasionale partytjiedag ontstaan. Amerika het hulle Thanksgiving, Ierland hulle St Patrick’s Day, Nederland hulle Koninginnedag … en nou het ons ons Braaidag, want wat is meer eg-Suid-Afrikaans as ‘n braai?! Geniet ons onderhoud met Jan, asook die beste resep ooit vir braaibroodjies op die volgende bladsy. Unfortunately, we are also in the season of allergies and hay fever, so we brought you some Nadia Matthee information on how to avoid and manage these Junior Designer annoying attacks.

Jan
Jan Braai is ongetwyfeld Suid-Afrika se gunsteling braaimeester. AWSUM News het met hom gechat terwyl nie net ‘n kudde beeste nie, maar ook ‘n trop volstruise hom en sy Jan Braai-konvooi van 60 voertuie iewers buite Calitzdorp gejaag het. V: Hoe het Jan Braai ontstaan? A: Jan Braai homself is gebore toe ek die Twitter-handle @janbraai in 2009 geskep het en mense so na my begin verwys het. Gelukkig is my regte naam ook Jan, so ek het darem nie te veel van ‘n gesplete persoonlikheid nie! V: Wat dink jy van vroue wat al hoe meer die braaimeesters word? A: O, ek dink dis fantasties! Die dae van mans wat om die braai staan en mannepraatjies maak, terwyl die vroue aartappelslaai in die kombuis maak en fyntjies aan ‘n glasie rosé pik, is gelukkig vinnig aan die verbygaan. Vroue het ‘n besonderse aanvoeling vir braaivleis, en braai eintlik baie beter. (Ek koes!) V: Wanneer is die kole net reg? A: Sodra die vlamme klaar gebrand het. Baste met jou hand soveel sekondes so hoog oor die kole hou. Sodra daar net kole is, braai jy.

Braai
V: Wat braai jy? A: Enigiets – skape, beeste, hoenders, visse – you name it. V: Wat drink jy saam met braaivleis? A: ‘n Baie beskaafde gin&tonic (wat ook goed is teen malariamuskiete, natuurlik) terwyl ek braai, wyn saam met die ete, en daarna ‘n brandewyntjie, of selfs ‘n whiskeytjie. V: Wat geniet jy vir nagereg? A: Daai stukkies braai na die braai, wanneer ons nog ‘n bietjie hout pak vir atmosfeer, en dan sommer weer ietsie op die kole gooi. V: Wat is jou missie? A: Om 50 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners almal op een dag te laat braai! Drie braaiboeke en verskeie TV-uitsendings later, is dit aan die gebeur! Van die boeke is ook in Europese lande beskikbaar, so die boodskap word ver en wyd versprei! V: Wat is jou boodskap vir al die ywerige braaiers? A: Keep it classy, South Africa!
Were at The Lofts Boutique Hotel on Thesen Island in Knysna, feeling quite chuffed with life and the hotel management said it would not be a problem if we wanted to braai on the deck. The only question was, what to braai in such a decadent setting. Now earlier in the day we got a very nice sourdough bread from Il de Pain, the renowned bakery on Thesen Island, and I wanted to use that as part of the meal. So the decision fell on creating a few super luxurious braaibroodjies. Normal white toaster bread was replaced by slices of the world class Il de Pain sourdough bread, chutney was swopped for a mixture of French style mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. Onion was replaced by spring onion and tomato was replaced with sun-dried tomatoes. Naturally we needed cheese and the decision fell on 18 months matured cheddar. For team spirit I also added gypsy ham into each unit. Forget about butter on the outside – for these creations you use olive oil on the outside.
What you need
• Slices of fresh sourdough bread • French style mayonaise • Whole grain mustard • Gypsy ham • 18 months matured cheddar • Sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil • Spring onions • olive oil
What to do
1. Go for an oval shape sourdough bread as opposed to a round one. This way all the slices will be the same size. Slice the bread fairly thin, the same thickness as normal toaster bread. One has a natural tendency to slice these types of bread thicker, so be conscious of avoiding that. 2. Lay out half of the bread slices on a cutting board and liberally spread with the French style mayonaise and whole grain mustard. 3. Add the gypsy ham, slices of cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and
chopped spring onions. Do not be stingy with any of the ingredients – this is a super luxury braaibroodjie and not only should the quality of ingredients reflect it, but also the quantity. 4. Add the top layers of bread and drip or spread olive oil on them. 5. Place in a hinged grid (toeklaprooster) and braai over medium-low heat coals. After the first turn, also spread olive oil on the other outside (the side that was at the bottom when you assembled the units). Continue to braai over the gentle coals, turning very often, until the cheese is melted and the braaibroodjies are golden brown on the outside. 6. It goes without saying that you serve these beauties with glasses of ice cold Méthode Cap Classique, the South African – vastly superior – version of what the French call champagne. http://braai.com/braai-recipes/page/2/

Matric Exams:
The final countdown The heat is officially on for Matrics, with just over a month before starting their final exams. Many of them will be entering this period weighed down with a sense of dread, especially if the first half of the year proved less than satisfactory on the academic front. But if these learners put shoulder to the wheel right now, and apply military precision in scheduling their remaining time, they can expect a major improvement in results. This is the time to take stock of where they are and how they can wring every last ounce of value from the time they have left, with the following approach: 1. Source or create a wall or desk calendar with enough space to write a todo list for each day of the week. Enter the exam dates for the final matric exams. The dates for the National Senior Certificate final exams can be found on the websites of the Department of Basic Education (public schools) and Independent Examination Board (private schools). Also diarise any other important dates or occasions. 2. Rate your subjects from the most difficult to the easiest. You should spend more time on the subjects that you find difficult to master. Plan your studying according to the following criteria: • What subject do you find the most challenging? • When are the exams for that subject being written? • How much content needs to be studied for the subject? Count the days left until the final exams for those subjects. If you have six subjects in which you will be writing exams and eight weeks until the final exams, it leaves one week of studying for each subject with two more weeks allocated to your weakest subjects. That is not a lot of time, so you should get into the routine of studying every day for the next few weeks. Be strict with yourself, and turn discipline into a habit. 3. Break each subject’s content down into logical and manageable sections. A three-hour study session should be enough to cover each section of content. 4. Download past exam papers from the Department of Basic Education and the IEB websites. These are excellent resources and give you a good feel for what you can expect in your exams. Supplementary study guides can also be purchased as an additional study aid. Schedule these mock papers on your study roster. 5. After prelims, the study roster should be re-assessed based on insights into which subjects require more attention, and how much time remains before the finals.

Matrics’ holistic planning for the next few months should also take into account the following: 1. Researching and applying to higher education institutions where a learner has not yet been accepted into a qualification of choice, or planning for any other options post-Matric. But do not spend more than an hour a day on this, as it will eat into your studying time. Remember that higher education institutions generally close applications around September. 2. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which means getting enough sleep, nutrition and exercise, and especially not over-indulging at the Matric farewell. Additionally, if you structure your time well, you won’t need to reach for stimulants in despair. They often contain excessively high levels of caffeine, gingko biloba and ginseng, which will keep you awake and alert but will make it difficult to focus.

Health & Wellbeing Spring Allergies Spring means gardens and parks are back to being prettier than ever. It’s also the season for stuffy noses and sneezing, no thanks to allergies. But why do people get these spring allergies in the first place? During spring, flowers bloom, and along with it the pollens are released into the air. These tiny specks of nature travel and hopefully pollinate other trees and flowers for their continued existence. However, when these pollens end up in your nostrils and accidentally inhale them, they can irritate the immune system, which sees them as foreign invaders. The body’s immunity then releases antibodies and a chemical known as histamine. For non-allergic people, these histamines are kept at a tolerable level. However, for those who are prone to allergies, the immune system goes into an overdrive and releases loads of histamine that, in turn, causes the common signs and symptoms of allergies. Pollens, however, are not the only culprits. During spring, the environment can be humid, making the surroundings including your home a perfect breeding ground for molds, which can cause the same reaction to your immune system as pollens.
“But why do people get these spring allergies in the first place?”
Prevent Those Pesky Allergies You can’t shelter yourself completely from these spring allergens, but there are many steps you can take to reduce your exposure and hopefully prevent those allergies. • First, get a clear diagnosis of your allergies. Typically, people have allergies to three or four species of trees and plants. So even if pollen counts are high, it doesn’t mean your allergies are worse. That’s why diagnosis is such an important part of allergy care. • Pay more attention to the environment too. Certain pollens move at different times of the day, and usually, during spring, these pollens come from trees. They also tend to be less active when it’s raining, but their number increases after. Expect exposure to be very high during mornings and windy days, so you might want to avoid outdoor activities at these times. • You should also be more proactive by making allergy medications your best friend. Drugs such as antihistamines and decongestants can protect you from allergies or at least reduce the symptoms. In fact, begin taking them early or before symptoms appear. With a week or two lead time, you’ll feel better all season. Although some of them require prescription, most of them are available over the counter, so having them is easy. • Don’t forget to keep your indoor air clean. Change your dirty filters, dehumidify if necessary and close windows and doors if presence of pollen in the area is high. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/143785/20160325/spring-allergies-signs-symptoms-and-treatment.htm

FICHARDTPARK PRIMÊRE SKOOL (t) 051 522 8166 (e) info@fichies.co.za Fichies Go Wild Fichies het hulle jaarlikse kermis met die tema “Fichies Go Wild” gehou. Dit was weer eens ‘n reuse sukses. Onder die leiding van Juffrou Chantel Tomas het elke graad ‘n stalletjie beman en hulle baie goed van hulle taak gekwyt. Daar was pannekoek, hamburgers, kerrieen-rys en ‘n verhoog vol allerhande lekkergoed te koop.
Fichies se eie skoonheid Spieëltjie, spieëltjie in my hand … wie is die mooiste skoonheid in Fichieland? Fichies spog met hulle eie Mej. SA Schools finalis, Izalda Kriel.

Kermishokkie is pret Fichies se hokkieseisoen het op ‘n hoë noot afgesluit. Al die Graad 1 tot Graad 7 seun-en dogterspanne het soos ‘n tema aangetrek en baie lekker teen mekaar gespeel. Fichies se afrigters borrel oor van entoesiasme, want die dag was nog lank nie verby nie… Die afrigters het die ouers uitgedaag vir ‘n vriendelike wedstryd na die tyd. Daar was hope pret tydens die Kermishokkie.

Saints’ First XI on fire at St David’s Festival After three comfortable wins on the trot, the Saint Andrew’s First XI faced a significantly bigger challenge at the Saint David’s Marist Inanda Cricket Festival. Up against some of Johannesburg’s best teams, Saints came away with three very good wins from four outings. Saints began the Festival with a bang, convincingly handling St Benedict’s in a T20 clash. Batting first, the boys from Bloem posted 185 for 5, led by 62 from the in-form Garnett Tarr and 49* from Gerald Coetzee. They then dismissed St Benedict’s for 129 behind 5 for 20 from Dale Neethling and 3 for 31 from captain Calvin King for a big 56-run win. Against Jeppe, Saint Andrew’s replied to Jeppe’s 208 all out with 210 for 5. Coetzee led the bowling attack with a threewicket haul and scored 50, while Tarr contributed 66 and Calvin Flanegan an unbeaten 30. Flanegan was the difference in Saints’ one-run victory over KES in their next T20 outing, striking a sensational 78 not out off only 30 balls as Saint Andrew’s blasted 80 runs off their last five overs to tally 166 for 6. Tarr weighed in with 34. KES, in response, managed 165 for 8. Neethling topped the bowling returns with 3 for 14 from three overs, while Coetzee knocked over 3 for 16 from his four overs. Coming off such an emotional win, Saints suffered a bit of a let-down in their final outing against St David’s, which immediately followed the KES game. Tarr struck 65 at the top of the order, but there was little support for him as Saints finished on 131 for 8. Saint David’s managed to get home by five wickets with three balls remaining in their reply, despite two wickets each for Marx de Villiers and Ben van Rensburg. RESULTS T20 vs Saint Benedict’s Saint Andrew’s 185 for 3 (G. Tarr 62, G. Coetzee 49*, C. King 29, M. de Villiers 29*) Saint Benedict’s 129 all out (D.
