Mazda Peugeot Citroën Somerset West all in one brand new building The Kelston Motor Group amalgamated their Mazda

and Peugeot Citroën Somerset West branches under one roof on 11 December 2015, in a newly built showroom at Somerset Crossing, on the corner of the N2 and the R44. The three brands include three of the 2016 Wesbank / South African Guild of Motoring Journalists Car of the Year finalists – the Citroën C4 Cactus, the Mazda 2 and the Peugeot 308. The winner will be announced this month.

The group of dealer franchises that is the Kelston Motor Group has been in existence since the year

2000 and has grown from strength to strength.

The home of Kelston is the Eastern Cape, with eight branches in the region, and three other branches in Somerset West and Trichardt. Apart from the Mazda, Peugeot and Citroën brands, the Kelston Motor Group also offers new Volkswagen, Audi, and Ford passenger vehicles as well as Volkswagen, Ford, FAW and Jinbei commercial vehicles. And they deliver countrywide.

Kelston’s main focus of passion, quality and values is not only a motto for every day they do business,

but also for its social responsibility. The company sponsors St Francis Hospice a vehicle to drive, while Market Square Volkswagen Uitenhage has adoped the Oosterland Child & Youth Care Centre and hosts monthly birthday parties for the children.

Putting the customer first is a key focus and the Customer Service Index wins of various branches are a testament to that dedication. The staff at Mazda Peugeot Citroën Somerset West are proud to bring the company’s values, as well as the three excellent vehicle brands, to the Western Cape.

Flex your mussels!!

MUSSELS WITH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE Preparation time 10 minutes | Cooking time 5 minutes | Serves 4 The cover of this book really got my heart beating – my favourite colour turquoise and the absolute best fruit on earth, the wonderful pomegranate, such a beautiful fruit, filled with little ruby jewels. When I page through the pages of Mariana’s Country Kitchen, I feel something I can’t explain – almost emotional, reminding me of growing up in my parents’ kitchen and garden. I love this book – it is one of the most beautiful books I have seen in a very long time.

I adore the recipes, love the styling and stories – I’m just in love with this book!!!!!

In 2000, Mariana Esterhuizen and her husband said goodbye to city living and opened a restaurant in the village of Stanford. Since then, Mariana’s has grown into one of the top eateries in South Africa, attracting foodies from all over. The average wait for a table is three months. The secret? Mariana serves food fresh from her own extensive vegetable, fruit and herb garden, prepared in her own unique way. Her delightful book includes recipes for the restaurant’s top dishes, along with vegetable dishes, classic dishes, and Mariana’s favourite childhood foods, courtesy of her mother.

Ingredients • 250 g fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped • ¼ t honey • ½ t salt • ¼ t freshly ground white pepper • 100 ml best-quality olive oil • 2 t fresh tarragon, chopped, plus 2 sprigs • 1 kg fresh mussels in the shell • 100 ml white wine • 100 ml water • Cos lettuce leaves and bread to serve

Method Place the chopped tomatoes in a blender and process until smooth.

Place a sieve over a jug and strain the tomato purée to catch the pips.

Whisk the garlic, honey, salt and pepper into the tomato purée. Slowly add the olive oil and whisk vigorously until the oil is incorporated into the tomato mixture. Stir in the chopped tarragon. © Jenny Morris 2016

4 Tips to have the best Easter road trip ever

There’s nothing quite like packing your bags and hitting the road for a few days. With Easter Holidays coming up, a road trip provides the perfect getaway. Of course, when you head out on the road you’ve got to be sure to make the most of it. Use these four tips to plan the perfect Easter road trip for you and your family.

1 Take the scenic route Don’t hurry to your destination, no matter how excited you are to get there. There are so many extraordinary scenic routes to follow in South Africa and you should

the beaten path and if you do, rather hire a 4x4 than trek into the bush with a littly Noddy car.

2 Create a playlist Music is essential to any road trip. Of course, it can’t just be any music – it has to be world class-road trip music. And don’t even think about playing album after album or one artist at a time. You’ve got to mix it up.

Spend some time going through your music and put in the effort to create the perfect road trip playlist. There’s nothing quite like singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody as you cruise over a mountain pass.

3 Stop along the way Don’t be the driver that won’t stop the car unless it’s for an emergency. You’ll find the most spectacular hidden treasures while you’re exploring the open road. You don’t want to miss discovering something truly unique because you’re worrying about arriving on time or getting to your destination as soon as humanly possible.

Take some time to explore – you won’t regret it.

Where are we off to? take advantage of them. There’s no point in going on a road trip if you’re not going to take the time to enjoy the drive. Open the windows and let the fresh air in as you enjoy the view from the open road. However remember not to go too far off

4 Be prepared for disaster You already know to fill up on petrol and have your oil and water checked, but there are other safety measures you should put in place. Keep a 5-litre bottle of water in your boot in case of a breakdown. It may seem silly or unnecessary, but imagine breaking down on a deserted road on the hottest day of the year. You should also get the numbers of towing services for wherever you’re going. And, of course, bring your spare tyre along.

Getting behind the wheel and heading out on a road trip can be a truly wonderful experience and you should put in your best effort to make the most of it.

ENTERTAINMENT

Woordfees 2016: BLY “Vanaf 4 tot 13 Maart 2016 sal daar indringend gepraat, geredeneer, geskryf, gesing, gerap, gesels en gelag word. Op verhoë sal komplekse vraagstukke getakel word – ’n kunstefees is immers ’n uitstekende platform vir diskoers en debat. Ons strewe bly om ’n fees van uitnemendheid te bly, en feesgangers en die groter Stellenbosse gemeenskap nie onaangeraak te laat nie. Ons wil ’n verrykende en verruimende ervaring vir almal bied en vir kunstenaars geleentheid gee om te eksperimenteer en te waag. Ons wil gesprek en debat stimuleer, stories vertel en daarna luister, ’n liefde vir lees bevorder en ook ’n lekker partytjie wees.”

Saartjie Botha, Direkteur: US Woordfees

Teater vir jonk en oud Al die ou bekendes, soos Dawid Minnaar, Marion Holm en Sandra Prinsloo kan weer geniet word, maar maak ook seker om by nuwe talente uit te kom. Kinderteaterhoogtepunt is Liewe Heksie: Flower Power – ’n amperse pantomime, wat groot pret vir die hele gesin inhou.

Woorde, woorde en nog meer woorde Boeke oor lewens, boeke oor huise en tuistes, oor kuns, oor heerlik eet en kook en bak, oor verlange en wonder en seer ... die sewentiende Woordfees bring boeke en boeke vol verruklike woorde en ervarings om die gedrukte woord by die fees te vier en te geniet.

Van Stellenbosch-musiekikoon Randall Wicomb se biografie tot geliefde kunstenaar Louis Janse van Vuuren se fabelagtige tentoonstelling van sy chateau in Frankryk, van Koekedoor se BAK tot by bekende fotograaf Lien Botha se eerste roman, het die Woordfees iets vir al die boekwurms in alle

geure en voorkeure. Daar is natuurlik ook geen tekort aan die skrywers wat hierdie woordkuns skep nie.

Kom luister na gesprekke en gesels met van jou gunstelinge. Kom na kosdemonstrasies en luister na die oeroue kuns van stories vertel, en teken mandalas en swig voor beswymelende poësie.

Musiekkonserte in die buitelug Van Karen Zoid tot ‘n reünie van die Gereformeerde Blues Band – gewis ‘n fees op hande! Amanda Strydom vier 60 jaar met ‘n grootse geleentheid, en Chris Chameleon pak verskeie heilige koeie aan.

KIassieke musiek Ou gunstelinge soos Beste Blondes (Elna van der Merwe en Zorada Temmingh) en die kaalvoet-marimbaspeler, Magda de Vries, beloof om gehore te bekoor. Die US Universiteitskoor en die Libertaskoor tree ook op.

Silwerskerm Fliekvlooie het ‘n groot verskeidenheid om van te kies, insluitende gratis kortfilms by Pulp Cinema by die Neelsie. Die films sluit verskeie buitelandse films met onderskrifte in, asook die Open Window-filmreeks, met vraag-en-antwoordsessies.

Afrikaanse films is besonder goed verteenwoordig, met ou bekendes en verrassende nuwe filmmakers en akteurs.

Visuele kunste Gaan op toer saam met die US Woordfees se visuele kunskurator, Alex Hamilton, en besoek die groot verskeidenheid uitstallings tydens die 2016-fees. Verskeie kunstenaars sal op verskillende dae aansluit by die toer en dan ’n “installopie” aanbied wat ’n interessante blik bied op die manier hoe kunstenaars hul werk aanpak.

Feeskunstenaar Mary Sibande, wat in 1982 in Barberton gebore is, is bekend vir haar beeldhouwerke in gemengde media, asook haar fotografiese drukwerk wat fokus op die uitbeelding van Sophie, ’n fiktiewe karakter wat dien as alter ego vir die kunstenaar se moeder en grootmoeder.

Albei was hulle lewe lank werksaam as huishulpe.

HEALTH

Mental toughness for sports teams

It may sound completely bonkers, but it has often been said that it is ‘valuable’ for a team to lose the occasional match during the course of a season. Sport psychologist Greg Wilmot explores this thought ahead of rugby season coming up.

Surely a team should try and win each and every match played? While I would never suggest that a team ever try to deliberately lose a game, there are valuable lessons to be learned from the reaction of a team when it loses.

Firstly, teams should always try and win a match fairly through executing good technique and staying focused on individual and/or team goals rather than be aggressive or dirty. Winning competitions or doing drills well during practices leaves any player/athlete feeling confident about their ability, skill and decision making. These experiences prove that we are competent at the sport. Also, when we do something well, we get compliments from important people such as coaches, parents and friends. Experiencing competence and support from others are two key factors that help develop and maintain our motivation.

On the other hand, losing a match or failing to meet one’s performance goals usually results in a lot of unhappiness, frustration and even finger-pointing or blame. Some people may either blame themselves or act out in frustration.

Being aggressive when losing or in the next match won’t help, as there is no aim of improving your technique or adapting your strategy. Feeling ashamed about your performance or actions often results in a low effort in either training or the next pressured situation.

One of the central features of ‘mental toughness’ is the ability to ‘bounce back’ after a defeat. Experiencing a loss can help a team to become aware of their weaknesses and adapt their response to being placed under pressure.

Teams or athletes that are ‘problem-focused’ can use the negative experience and information from a losing performance to fix mistakes that contributed to the loss. Both positive and negative responses to sport are valuable.

Understanding how to make use of negative emotions following a defeat or poor performance can both improve one’s performance and influence our enjoyment, even when losing.

Consider these questions after losing a match, or to evaluate a disappointing performance:

Planning How can I improve or adapt?

How does losing affect my approach to training this week?

Are there new resources I can use to develop my skills?

Gathering information What mistakes did I make?

What techniques or strategies were either effective or ineffective?

Developing new skills to improve Do I need to practise my current skills more?

What new techniques can I learn to ensure a good quality performance? Good quality training will improve my performance under pressure.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

School run – avoid the morning rush One thing all parents with school-age children can relate to is the challenge of getting them up, fed and off to school in the morning. As the term ticks along, routine gets more lax and getting out of bed becomes less and less appealing. To avoid the daily chaos, put some structure in place – sooner rather than later.

An on-time and organised child experiences less anxiety and stress during the school day. Parents can also avoid additional trips to school and rushed apologies to teachers if they work together with their children to develop a morning routine. Each family has a unique morning routine. As your child’s workload and schedule expands, the skill of creating and sticking to a routine will aid their learning and independence.

Tips for streamlining the morning rush Stay calm and carry on

Appoint a rotating Director

Act preemptively – take a minute to talk to or cuddle your child as they wake up – this may prevent attention-seeking tactics that delay the process later. Similarly, try to remain calm – the more flustered and anxious you are, the more likely your child is to slow down. There will be days when your child is dreading going to school. Show sensitivity to this and you will find that things run more smoothly.

If you have more than one child, rotate the position of morning Director – this person is responsible for making sure everybody gets what needs doing done. Incentives can include picking the music for that morning’s drive. If your children are learning to tell the time, incorporate this into the routine, get them to note increments of ten or fifteen minutes.

Set out clean clothes, bags and books the night before in a designated spot near the door. Involve your children in packing everything they need the night before, teaching them to be aware of what’s required to fully participate in class and school activities. If your child leans towards forgetfulness, charts and todo lists can help them learn to keep track of their belongings and responsibilities.

Be an enabler Stock up on wholesome, easy-to-make breakfast foods and keep them in accessible places so that children can help themselves.

They will practise independence and free up your time. Schoolage children can stack their dishes in the sink or dishwasher, so make each one responsible for their own mess.

Fabulous February events!

WP Tennis team

Indoor Hockey

Steyn Fourie besoek De Hoop

These learners made the WP Tennis Team! We are proud that so many of our tennis players were included.

On Monday, 22 February the De Hoop u/12 boys indoor hockey team won the league by beating Somerset House 5–3. The hockey was of a high standard and was enjoyed by all. Well done boys, we are really proud of you.

De Hoopers is met ‘n gratis vertoning deur Steyn Fourie getrakteer. Hy het met musiek en grappies die leerders laat lê van die lag, terwyl onderwyseresse danspassies op die verhoog moes uithaal.

Prefekkamp Die leerderraad van 2016 het hul leierskapskamp gehad by SOS-basis naby Villiersdorp.

Ian Thom, Luka Geldenhuys, Thomas Mullineux, Schalk Beukes, Daniel Good, Helene McAslin (coach), Benjamin Blaauw (Player of the Tournament) and Greg Williams (Top Goal Scorer).

Bowling against the best!

Our teachers showed great sportsmanship during a bowls tournament. They were sponsored by The Curiosity Hut.

Hier is die leerderraad saam met mnr. Pierre Labuschagne, mev. Vanessa Helders en mnr. Ashwill Peters.

Spanbou-aktiwiteite leer ons om mekaar te help en ondersteun!

Valentynspiekniek Die Graad 7’s het op Valentynsdag ‘n heerlike piekniek op die veld geniet. Daar was ‘n verskeidenheid van rooi kostuums en piekniekmandjies propvol lekkernye. Hulle het dié liefdesdag vreeslik geniet.

They are: Mr. Francois Woensdrecht, Chris Vos, Henri Herrewyn, Nicholas van Wyk, Loyd Williams, De Wet Neethling, Wynand Cillié and Abri du Plessis.

PAUL ROOS GIMNASIUM (t) 021 887 0017 (e) info@prg.wcape.school.za

Paul Roos Gimnasium word 150 Die hoogtepunte tydens Paul Roos Gimnasium se 150ste verjaarsdagvieringe was, onder meer, die Paul Roos is Groot!-kultuuraand, waar verskeie kunstenaars (onder meer oudleerders soos Heinz Winckler en Koos Kombuis) opgetree het saam met die skool se orkes, sanggroep en koor. Dié aand van musikale

opwinding het op 17 Februarie in die skool se Sentrum plaasgevind.

Op die verjaarsdag self (1 Maart) was daar vir die seuns die een heerlikheid na die ander – hulle kon letterlik heeldag speel en eet! Van die grootste vermaak wat verskaf is, was die waterglybaan en sogenaamde “bubble soccer”

(tuimelsokker) – waarvan die doel eerder is om mekaar te stamp en te laat rondbons terwyl die bal vergete op die veld rond-dodder ...

Maar die seuns het nie net ontvang nie – daar is ook bloed geskenk en geld is deur middel van ’n muntlegging vir Huis Horison ingesamel.

HOËRSKOOL PAREL VALLEI (t) 021 852 1228 (e) comms@pvallei.co.za

Tennisuitslae wat OPSLAE maak!

The blue thread of sporting excellence

Parel Vallei het die afgelope tyd uitstekende uitslae gelewer op die tennisbaan en Parel Valleiers het rede om opgewonde te wees oor tennis by die skool.

Die junior seuns het onlangs deelgeneem aan ‘n uitnodigingstoernooi by Boland Landbou waar spanne van regoor die land deelgeneem het. Hier het hulle die gunstelinge, Paarl Gimnasium, geklop en ook afgereken met Hoërskool Stellenbosch.

Die junior en senior spanne van Parel Vallei het by die jaarlikse Interskole-kragmeting teen Strand Hoër weer eens oortuigend gewen met ‘n totaal van 34 wedstryde teenoor 14. Dit is die tiende agtereenvolgende jaar wat Parel Vallei die Interskole-tenniskragmeting wen!

Ons is ook baie opgewonde oor die feit dat EDGE Tennisakademie van die begin van hierdie jaar deel van die tennissamestelling by Parel Vallei is. Hierdie akademie, help met die voorbereiding van die spanne by die skool en bied ook die geleentheid vir privaatafrigting vir leerders na-ure.

Parel Vallei het beslis weer dié jaar reg afgeslaan en met sulke sterk spanne wag daar defnitief nog baie uitklophoue.

PV is once again proud to be crowned the winners of the annual summer Inter-schools’ Athletics!

The BLUE THREAD of sporting excellence could be seen throughout the day from all the athletes who gave their optimal performance to the pavilion where the BLUE THREAD of spirit, support and unity could also be felt! PV demonstrated that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” and won the athletics trophy with more than 190 points, against Strand High School (the runners-up) and Hottentots-Holland High School.

We would also like to thank the main sponsor, Dischem, for creating this sporting platform in the Helderberg basin for the three high schools to compete against one another.

We are thankful for yet another victory and look forward to Inter-schools’ 2017!

Me. Penny Vinjevold (hoof van WKOD), mnr. Leon de Jager (adjunk-hoof) en me. Debbie Schafer (LUR Onderwys) tydens die oorhandiging.

Rowers on a roll at Somerset College

Top Cricketing school

The 2016 Buffalo Regatta Tour was a great success this year as the Somerset College squad of 30 rowers took to the Buffalo River in East London to compete against the top crews in South African rowing. Some of the top rowing schools and clubs from Gauteng, the Eastern Cape, Natal and the Western Cape competed in the 57th Selborne Sprints Regatta and the 129th Buffalo Regatta in a weekend of fiercely competitive racing.

Despite the windy conditions, the College crews fared well to qualify for 17 places in finals at the Selborne Sprints Regatta on the Friday and 13 places in finals at the Buffalo Regatta on the Saturday. These included gold in the Women’s Second Doubles, Silver in the Women’s u15 single, double and quad and silver in the u16 men’s double. These results are very exciting with the SA Schools Championships taking place in Pretoria from 6 to 8 March.

The Somerset College Cricket Club has had another successful season, characterised by some good individual performances and some excellent team performances. The season has provided a variety of formats of cricket at a number of festivals and on several tours. The 1st X1 have had a particularly good season both in local fixtures and on tours and next month will tour overseas to Sri Lanka.

Somerset College has a large number of teams from Bakers mini-cricket right through to the Under 19 level. Cricket is fast becoming the sport of choice and College the school of choice for aspiring cricketers.

Cricket has once again had a strong provincial representation. Sam Henderson represented Boland U15, Ben Henderson Boland U17 and William Sendin, Vezi Mntungwa and Phillip Carstens Boland U19 at the prestigious Khaya Majola Coke Week.

From the U19 Week William and Vezi were selected to represent the Cobra’s U19 side at the Cubs’ Week. Faye Tunnicliffe represented Boland Girls U19 and has played several games for the Boland Senior Ladies team.

Sophie de Villiers, Louise Wait, Stephany van Muster, Aninke Burger, Leah Visagie and Jacqui Ekermans celebrate a very successful day with three silver medals and a bronze in the u15 girls category.

Erin Williams and Kelsey Greeff with their gold medals for winning the women’s second double.

The 1st XI Team were privileged to have Nick Compton, (South African-born English cricketer), attend one of their training session this week where he shared some valuable advice and tips.

HOTTENTOTS-HOLLAND HIGH SCHOOL (t) 021 852 1405 (e) adminmail@hhhschool.co.za

Cricket excels The annual cricket derby between HHH and Parel Vallei is always one of the highlights of the cricket season. On Saturday, 27 February the HHH cricketers had only one goal and that was to beat their opponents. They batted first and scored 313 runs.

Keenan Brinkhuis hit 116 runs. The first wicket went down after 166 runs were scored. Parel Vallei fought back hard and only managed to score 259. HHH won by 54 runs.

Drummies tops in WP Hottentots-Holland High School hosted the first WP Drum Majorettes Groups and Small Drill Championships on Saturday, 20 February, and maintained their title as the Western Province Champions of 2015 with the following results: • Non-prop 1st • Flag 1st • Small Drill 1st • Overall 1st The drummies are working towards the national championships to be held in Germiston in July.

They are currently ranked 4th out of 32 national teams.

Cheerleaders Interskole Geesbeker Op die oggend van Interskole het die ’Pirates’ van HH met hulle rooi bandannas, oogklappe en goue oorringe soos regte seerowers gelyk. Ouers en personeellede het in die vroeë oggendure ‘n boot gebou waarop die dirigente heeldag die kinders met sang aan die gang gehou het.

Die optog was dramaties en baie effektief – op die musiek van “Pirates of the Caribean” het 30 seerowers en die agt dirigente danse uitgevoer. Toe dit die seerowers op die pawiljoen se beurt was om die kreet te doen, het dit weergalm en omstanders hoendervleis gegee.

Die Sharkies se gees was by tye so aansteeklik dat onderwysers en atlete saam gedans en gesing het. Nie die son, wind of ander twee spanne kon die leerders van HH van koers bring nie. Teen die einde was daar maar net een keuse vir die wenners – HH!!!
