AWSUMCelebrity Interview

Handré Pollard 22-jaar-oue Handré Pollard is die nuwe Bulle-kaptein en het die span onlangs tot ‘n 28–7-oorwinning oor Chiefs gelei. Hy het sy senior loopbaan as ‘n 19-jarige by die Blou Bulle begin en sy Springbokdebuut op 28 Junie 2014 gemaak (teen Skotland in die inkomende toerreeks). Hy het 20 wedstryde vir die Springbokke gespeel, insluitende een teen die All Blacks waar hy twee drieë gedruk het. Hy was ’n sleutelfiguur in Suid-Afrika se herlewing na hulle skok-nederlaag teen Japan in die 2015 Wêreldbeker om die halfeindrondte teen die All Blacks te haal. Hy het sover in sy kort internasionale loopbaan 188 punte aangeteken.

V: Beskryf die ervaring om teen Hoër Jongenskool Paarl in die grootste Interskole-wedstryd ter wêreld te speel. Wat is die besonderse verhouding tussen die twee skole wat dit so spesiaal maak?

A: Dit is altyd moeilik om te beskryf ... dit is iets wat mens nie kan verduidelik vir mense wat nie self in een van die skole was nie. Dit is ongelooflik kompeterend, maar daar word ook baie goeie vriendskappe gevorm. Die dorp (Paarl) word in twee gedeel vir daardie week en alle akademiese verpligtinge word opsy gestoot.

V: Hoe was dit om in ‘n Wêreldbeker-toernooi te speel?

A: Dit was werklik ‘n droom wat waar geword het. Om een toets te speel vir die Bokke is klaar ongelooflik, maar om jou land in die Wêreldbeker te verteenwoordig is iets heeltemal anders. Al het ons net kort geval, was dit my trotsste oomblik van my lewe. En hoop ek kry weer so ‘n geleentheid.

V: Wat is die lekkerste daarvan om ‘n professionele rugbyspeler te wees?

A: Die vriendskappe en bande wat gevorm word. Almal speel vir verskillende redes. Ek speel om te sorg vir my familie eendag, ja, maar ook vir die vriendskappe en die gevoel na ‘n wen in die kleedkamer.

V: Wat is minder aangenaam van jou beroep, buiten beserings?

A: Ons kan net vir ‘n beperkte tyd speel en moet kan lewe na rugby. Die hoeveelheid dae weg van die huis af – ja, dit is ongelooflik om te toer en die wêreld te sien, maar tyd saam met familie en vriende is kosbaar.

V: Jy was baie lank op die kantlyn gewees met jou beserings. Hoe het jy jouself besig gehou?

A: Die rehab-deel van die besering vat baie tyd meer as wat mense besef. Enige rugbyspeler sal sê dit is harder om van besering af terug te kom as wat dit is om te speel.

Maar verder het ek gholf gespeel en tyd saam met vriende en familie spandeer.

V: As die nuwe Super Rugby-kaptein van die Bulls, hoe sien jy hierdie uitdaging, veral in die lig daarvan gesien dat jy nog betreklik jonk is?

A: Ek is jonk, maar ek speel al redelik lank senior rugby en het baie ervaring opgedoen. Ek sal alles wat ek tot dusver geleer het en wat ek gaan leer die jaar probeer oordra so goed ek kan aan my span en lei met my voorbeeld.

V: Hoe het jy die wedstryde in Australië ervaar, waar julle beide ‘n Super Rugbyopwarmingswedstryd teen Chiefs gespeel het en ook aan die Brisbane Global Tens deelgeneem het?

A: Daar was baie positiewe en ook negatiewe, waaraan ons hard gaan werk om reg te maak voor die Stormers-wedstryd. Maar as geheel was dit ‘n baie goeie toer gewees en ook baie goed vir die gees van die span.

V: Hoe voel jy oor julle kanse in die opkomende Super Rugby-toernooi, wat vir die Bulls op 25 Februarie in Kaapstad teen die Stormers begin?

A: Ons glo ons het ‘n baie goeie kans, net soos al die ander spanne. Ons neem deel om die kompetisie te wen – enigiets anders as dit sal ons sien as onsuksesvol.

V: Hoe hanteer jy die roem en aandag wat ‘n hoëprofielspeler soos jy geniet?

A: Ag, daar is voordele en nadele. Mens moet altyd onthou jy was self jonk en het opgekyk na die Bokke daardie tyd. Solank jou ondersteuningsraamwerk saam met familie en vriende reg is, is dit alles ‘n bysaak.

V: Wat is jou mikpunte wat jy graag sal wil bereik in jou rugbyloopbaan?

A: Op die oomblik net eers terugwees op die veld en my beste doen wat ek kan vir die Bulle en hopellk terug kom in die Bokspan. Ek sal dan weer my mikpunte bekyk.

V: Wat laat jou hart warm klop wanneer jy weg is van die rugbyveld?

A: My verloofde, Marise Malherbe!

V: Wat is jou stokperdjies? Enige ander sport wat jy graag speel?

A: Ek is mal oor gholf – al kan ek nie baie speel nie, geniet ek dit baie.

V: Wat is jou wens vir Springbokrugby?

A: My wens is dat die Suid-Afrikaanse publiek agter die Bokke sal staan. Die laaste twaalf maande was nie goed nie, maar ons het ongelooflike talent in die land en kan weer die beste in die wêreld wees.

V: Jy was op Hoërskool Gimnasium Paarl. Hoe was jou ervaring om by so ‘n vooraanstaande skool op hoërskool te wees? Hoe het dit jou rugbyloopbaan beïnvloed?

A: Dit was ‘n ongelooflike ervaring. Ek het geleer om week in en week uit op die hoogste vlak van Suid Afrikaanse skolerugby te speel en die druk te hanteer.

Lemon meringue pie I find most lemon meringue pies to be rather sickly and insipid with hardly a hint of lemon. This one has a real lemon kick with a lovely smooth curd. It is rich, though, and not for the fainthearted.

Serves 4–6 INGREDIENTS • 1 packet (200 g) Tennis biscuits • 125 ml (½ cup) melted butter grated rind and juice of 4 lemons • 1 tin (385 g) condensed milk • 3 extra-large eggs, separated • 2,5 ml (½ tsp) cream of tartar • 180 g castor sugar • 2,5 ml (½ tsp) baking powder

METHOD • Preheat the oven to 180 °C. • Crush the biscuits. I do this by bashing the biscuits into crumbs using a double plastic shopping bag, tied loosely, and a rolling pin.

• In a small bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter. Press the mixture into a shallow pie plate. Smooth with the back of a spoon.

• In a bowl, mix together the

lemon rind, lemon juice, condensed milk and egg yolks.

• Pour into the crumb base.

• In a clean dry bowl, beat the egg whites to a soft peak.

Add the cream of tartar and beat until the peaks are very stiff. Add the castor sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition.

Beat in the baking powder once the egg whites and sugar have formed a stiff meringue.

• Spoon the meringue onto the egg mixture and cover gently. Swirl the meringue into peaks with the back of the spoon.

• Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off but leave the pie in the oven to cool down completely. This dries the meringue slightly.

• Best served chilled.

Health & Wellbeing What is free sugar costing our kids?

It’s no longer a secret that the vast majority of us are blissfully unaware sugar addicts.

Modern conveniences in consumables are great at making life easier in the short term, but what about the long-term implications? Read on to find out more about the serious health implications of sugar dependency and how we as parents are possibly setting up our children for a multitude of health issues later on in life.

A report published in 2009 showcases that food addiction is plausible, as “brain pathways that evolved to respond to natural rewards are also activated by addictive drugs. Sugar releases opioids and dopamine and thus might be expected to have addictive potential.”

A further report published in 2013 indicates that sugar is as – if not more – desirable than addictive drugs such as cocaine. This research aims to prove that “sugar and sweetness can induce reward and craving that are comparable in magnitude to those induced by addictive drugs.”

With these two findings it’s hard to believe that as parents we are still largely oblivious to the long-term, damaging effects of over consuming sugar-dense foods and beverages.

A sugar tax may be introduced – this will certainly help moderate and potentially reduce the average consumption of free sugars (sugar added to food and drink, as well as sugar found naturally in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates).

It will, however, take a deeper understanding of what we consume to avoid the top health issues South Africans currently face, such as obesity, diabetes and heart conditions, which are all directly resulting from (amongst other factors) sugar-dense diets and little to no exercise.

According to a statement released by the World Health Organisation, “adults and children need to reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5% or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits.”

What is a safe recommended daily allowance for sugar?

Although we all lead different lifestyles and have varying metabolic requirements, the UK’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) suggest the following: • Children aged 4 to 6 should have no more than 19g or five teaspoons of free sugars per day.

• Children aged 7 to 10 should have no more than 24g or six teaspoons of free sugars per day.

• Children aged 11 years and upwards, as well as adults, should have no more than 30g or seven teaspoons of free sugar per day.

To illustrate what this means, take a look at some of the popular beverages our children love, and their approximate sugar contents: • 250ml iced tea = 19g or four teaspoons of free sugar • 250ml flavoured drinking yoghurt = 26.8 g or five and a half teaspoons of free sugar • 330ml cola = 35g or seven teaspoons of free sugar • 330ml ginger beer = 37g or six and a half teaspoons of free sugar Overcoming an addiction is by no means an easy feat and the same holds true for sugar dependency. Almost all modern convenience consumables contain added free sugar especially children’s favourites such as cereals, beverages, fast foods and treats.

How do we reduce the excess sugars from our diets?

• Become aware, understand that food can be healing or damaging, and always try to ensure that all consumables remain as close as possible to their natural state. If sweetening is required, look at healthier options, such as fresh fruit or vegetables.

• Read labels carefully – not all free or added sugars are labelled as sugars, such as agave nectar, corn sweetener, dextrose, honey, corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, glucose and molasses.

• Limit sugar-added beverages, cited as being responsible for the majority of added sugar in US diets. Try naturally flavouring water or using a SodaStream

to make fun, healthier drink options. Their syrups also comprise one third of the sugar compared to regular sodas.

• Reduce your family’s super sweet sugar tolerance with a moderated sugar and bolstered wholefood diet. Over time, consumables high in sugar will start tasting too sweet as your tolerance returns to its normal natural state.

• Bake instead of buying treats. Homemade treats will no doubt contain less added and highly synthetic sweeteners, and you have the ability to further reduce the sugar content with natural sweeteners like fruits or vegetables. One favourite cupcake recipe calls for swapping out a large portion of the sugar for a glass of white wine – the alcohol cooks out and makes a delicious, moist cupcake.

The key to all healthy living is moderation and a balanced diet. This is not to say indulgent foods high in fat and/or sugar can’t be enjoyed – they can, but just not daily.

Millennials can boost their chances in the 2017 job market The general consensus on unemployment in SA is usually that our percentages thereof are extremely high. However, we are not alone – globally over 200 million people will be unemployed in 2017.

It begs the question: How we can help our millennials not only structure their mindset, but take much-needed steps in ensuring they do not become part of that statistic.

As with every year, the start of 2017 saw a fresh crop of South African matriculants setting out on their paths to entering the job market in a few years’ time. With current Minnennials already active in a highly competitive market, it is unlikely that by the time our newest matriculants enter into the formal sector they will arrive at an enabling environment, especially since work experience is the silver bullet for youth unemployment and since the country’s overall unemployment rate stands currently at 27.1% and the youth unemployment rate has averaged over 51% for the past three years.

While government, business and civil society need to come together to address South Africa’s high rate of youth unemployment through multi-faceted programmes, there is something that Millennials can do to increase their chances of breaking into the job market and getting onto a successful career path. Low levels of education and the lack of qualifications, experience and work readiness are all often cited as reasons why it is so much harder for young job seekers to secure employment. Luckily, these are factors that motivated individuals can address by taking charge of their own skills development.

With more and more accessible and affordable learning environments available, Millennials can embark on a self-driven upskilling programme that will help them stand out in a highly competitive job market and boost their chances of launching a successful career.

What’s important is to choose a quality, accredited provider. You want the qualifications you gain through your own effort to be reputable and recognised. It’s also important to be well aware of your interests, passions and strengths ,so you develop yourself in a direction that is meaningful to you and the future you want.

The advantages of upskilling as a millennial include: • By being proactive and making choices to learn, gain training and achieve qualifications, you become more appealing to employers.

• By committing to upskilling yourself, you demonstrate your drive for new opportunities, innovation and success.

• By investing in your own professional development you take a great step towards securing a better role in your current or future organisation.

• By gaining knowledge in areas of business or technology or languages that you are most interested in, you begin to shape a career – and a future life – that is most likely to be rewarding and successful.

Following your own upskilling programme doesn’t have to mean signing up on bricks-and-mortar campuses. On the contrary, learning online offers many benefits to Millennials. Young people are generally most comfortable and adept online, and find it an easy place to learn. Courses can be accessed any time and from anywhere, which means that if you are already studying at university or college, you can easily take on additional courses, and study at your own pace. If you’re taking a gap year, you can study while you travel and gain a qualification, which adds a phenomenal richness to your experience. If you’re unemployed and whiling away time because you don’t have the resources and opportunities to go out and learn, you can log on at home or at your local library and begin studying towards something that can change your circumstances for the better.

Alongside our high unemployment rate, South Africa also has an ever-deepening skills shortage. The country is looking to our Millennial generation to develop the skills that trade and industry desperately need right now, and in the future.

Articly by Richard Rayne, CEO of iLearn, a leading South African learning solutions business offering a range of onsite instructor-led and online training solutions that address critical skills shortages.

Vrystaat-swemgala 57 swemmers kwalifiseer om by die Vrystaat Gala te swem op 14 en 15 Februarie by die Stadion-swembad.

Grey College Primary swimming team was really a team to be reckoned with – in and out of the pool. Our swimmers put all their passion, determination and hard work to the test and shattered 11 records at this meet!! 26 First places, 18 second places and 24 third places were obtained!

Jedrick Geleta (9&u) broke the 50m Free record with a time of 36.42, as well as the 50m Back record with a time of 44.58.

As predicted, Connor Reinders (11&u) broke three records: firstly, he bettered the 200m IM with 4 seconds to finish with a time of 3.00.08. He also broke the records of the 50m Breast with a time of 42.42 and the 100m Breast with 1.34.26 Cobus Moolman (13–14j) breek die 200m Borsslag-rekord met ‘n tyd van 3.01.11

en JJ de Kock (13–14j) verbeter die 200m Vryslagrekord met amper 7 sekondes met sy tyd van 2.22.44 Hierdie rekords wat gespat het, het ons swemmers net verder geïnspireer om ook 4 aflosspanne-rekords te verbeter en die 9&o Vryslag- en ook die 13–14j Vryslagaflosrekords word verbeter. The 11&u relay team needs special mentioning, as they broke not only the 11&u Freestyle Relay record, but bettered the Medley Relay record with nearly 13 seconds with their time of 2.40.38!

Grey ended the day by winning the 11&u Best Swimmer Award, as well as the Victor Ludorum. Both these trophies were awarded to Canaan Brice.

A Free State team going to the South African Championships in April will be announced before 20 March 2017. We trust that our Grey boys will also make their distinctive GREY mark there!

Hobhouse en die Anglo-Boereoorlog. Die leerders het ook die geleentheid gekry om die Vrouemonument van naby te ondersoek en te bestudeer.

Nuwe personeel klaar ingesout

Fichies se harte klop warm

Fichies spog met twee nuwe personeellede wat hulle in 2017 by Fichies aangesluit het, asook twee personeellede wat in kraamverlofposte aflos.

Fichies het hulle harte oopgemaak teenoor oud-leerder Ignus Rocher op Valentynsdag. Fichies het R5 500 ingesamel vir sy mediese uitgawes. Die tradisionele Valentynsdag Cupido’s het die suigstokkies vir die leerders uitgedeel.

PRIMÊRE SKOOL JIM FOUCHÉ (t) 051 522 5951 (e) info@psjf.co.za Karate Wanneer ‘n mens ‘n swart belt om jou middel dra, beteken dit nie dat jy onoorwinlik is nie. Dit beteken jy gee nooit op nie; jy werk hard ten spyte van die pyn; jy kyk verby jou teleurstellings; jy gee nie in vir twyfel nie; jy kyk jou vrese in die oë en jy het al genoeg geleer om te weet dat jy eintlik nog baie het om te leer.

Die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché is baie trots op Nicky Huiseman wat genomineer is vir die “novice children” karateka van die jaar 2016.

Voorwaar ‘n wonderlike prestasie.

Krygskunde Wees sterk wanneer jy swak voel, braaf wanneer jy bang is en nederig wanneer jy as oorwinner uit die stryd tree. By die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché spog ons met ‘n krygsman wat beslis te midde van vele oorwinnings nederig bly: Thizyn Koen is aangewys as die beste student van die jaar wat as Vrystaatspanlid aan die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskappe in Secunda gaan deelneem het. Beslis iemand om dop te hou in die toekoms.

Nuwe onderwysers Wat is ‘n onderwyser? ‘n Onderwyser is ‘n persoon wat leerders help om probleme op te los wat hulle nooit sou gehad het as dit nie juis vir daardie onderwyser was nie ... Die grappie is dalk deels waar, maar ‘n onderwyser sluit die gedagtes van leerders oop – wat ‘n belangrike taak! By die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché is ons trots om drie nuwe personeellede by die JF-familie te verwelkom.

Jean-Mari Maree, Bernice Swanepoel en Marianke Genis.

Oom Karolus en Lente kuier by ons Die nageslag vleg geen krans vir die toneelspeler. Daarom moet hy woeker met sy eie tyd en die oomblik wat aan hom behoort, uitleef. By die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché behoort elke oomblik aan ons Hemelse Vader, daarom leef ons elke sekonde ten volle tot eer en verheerliking van Sy naam.

Op 30 Januarie 2017 het die Graad R tot Graad 2-maatjies die geleentheid gehad om saam met Oom Karolus en Lente God se naam te verheerlik. Wat ‘n ongelooflike voorreg. Graag wens ons Oom Karolus en Lente alle sterkte toe in hulle bediening.

Unisa Teorie-eksamen Volgens Charles O’Connell word musiek die taal van emosie genoem. Die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché is baie trots op die volgende leerders wat aan die einde van 2016 die Unisa Teorie-eksamens afgelê en skitterend presteer het: Heinrich Nortjé (Voorgraad 1 – 100%), Joshua van Zyl (Voorgraad 1 – 96%), Alex van Wyk (Voorgraad 1 – 100%), Ninke Botha (Teorie Gr. 3 – 94%), Anica van der Zwaard (Teorie Gr. 3 – 100%) en Andrew Crout (Teorie Gr. 1 – 98%).

Swem Die sterkste persoon in die swembad is nie altyd die een wat wen nie, maar wel die een wat nie opgee wanneer hy verloor nie. By die Primêre Skool Jim Fouché is daar twee boeties wat nie bang is vir dié uitdaging nie. Derick Kotzé (Graad 3) het by die pas afgelope Super Sport League Gala ’n 5de plek vir vlinderslag, 4de plekke vir beide borsslag en vryslag en ‘n 2de plek in die rugslag behaal. Hy het ook by die Kroon Primêr Interskole Gala 3de plekke in vryslag en borsslag behaal en 1ste gekom in die rugslagitem. Sy boetie, Christiaan Kotzé (Graad 1) staan egter nie terug nie en het ‘n 4de plek in vryslag sowel as ‘n 2de plek in die rugslag by die Super Sport League Gala behaal.

Ons is baie trots op julle!

ST ANDREW’S SCHOOL

Cricket

St Andrew’s South African Colts’ opening bowler Gerald Coetzee has been on a tear since returning from injury to his school’s 1st XI. In three matches against top cricket schools, he has dominated the opposition.

The Grade 11 pupil claimed 2 for 4 in seven overs against St John’s College to help Saints to a seven-wicket win. The following day, St John’s defeated Grey College by five wickets.

Against KES, Coetzee captured 4 for 25 in 10 overs as the schools played to a thrilling tie. Then, on the weekend, he was the star performer in a big Saints’ win over traditional cricket power Grey High School.

The visitors from Port Elizabeth chose to bat first in their T20 clash, but that move quickly backfired. With Coetzee in rampant form and Ruan Cronje scoring a direct hit run-out from point, Grey were reduced to 13 for 5 early on. They made a slight recovery, but were all out for 72.

Coetzee finished with the outstanding figures of 5 for 7 in four overs, with four of those runs coming from an edged shot over the slips.

The victory target proved easy for Saint Andrew’s, who passed it for the loss of three wickets after 11.1 overs. Opening batsman Garnett Tarr was on 29 not out with six fours.
