AWSUM Celebrity Interview Slegs met sy kitaar en asemrowende, ongewone stemwerk, neem Chris Chameleon luisteraars op ‘n reis, na plekke van musikale betowering en verwondering. AWSUM News het bietjie met hom gesels oor sy musiek en ander dinge wat hom na aan die hart lê. V Jy het vroeër vanjaar die langverwagte album jy en ek en ek en jy uitgereik, waarop jy al die musiek self gekomponeer het. Wat was die inspirasie vir hierdie album? Wat was anders in jou proses met die skep van die album? A Die tema van liefde het my nog altyd interesseer. Ek hou van die tydloosheid daarvan. As ‘n mens 20 jaar gelede oor ‘n faksmasjien geskryf het dan sou mense dalk kon dink ‘hmmm … kyk nou net hoe byderwets!’ Maar baie van vandag se luisteraars sal nie eens weet waaroor dit gaan nie. Die liefde, daarenteen, is tydloos, en dinge wat 3 000 jaar gelede daaroor gesê is kan vandag nog net so waar wees. Waar ek in my vorige albums oor die liefde geskryf het, was dit oor ‘n ervaring hier met iemand, of ‘n ervaring daar met ‘n ander. In jy en ek en ek en jy gaan al die liedjies oor slegs een persoon: my beminde, wie ek in 2011 ontmoet het. In hierdie opsig is die album uniek in my stal omdat dit alles deur ‘n enkele persoon geïnspireer is. Die proses was ongewoon, omdat ek die tekste binne ‘n week of so as vrye verse geskryf het, in 2012, net om uiting te gee aan my gevoel in die tyd (‘n gevoel wat ek moet bieg tot vandag toe nog net so begeesterd brand!). Omdat dit vrye verse is – byna prosa – is die toonsetting daarvan nie altyd logies nie. Dit was eers verlede jaar dat ek gewonder het of ek dit nie dalk moet toonset nie. Toe ek eers begin het, was die proses baie lekker, en ek het voortgedonder met die projek. Mens sal met die luister daarvan agterkom hoe gereeld ek met frasering gewoeker het om die tekste in ‘n ligte liedvorm te vorm. V Jy en Daniella Deysel, die digter saam met wie jy in Junie 2014 die album Posduif opgeneem het, maak ‘n pragtige paartjie. Wat is julle verhaal?
V Wat doen jy graag in jou vrye tyd (wanneer jy nie tuinmaak nie)?
A Ons het mekaar in 2011 ontmoet en dit was liefde met die eerste oogopslag. Ons is tot vandag toe nog so erg smoorverlief dat ons wanneer ons by ander mense is, dit ter wille van stigtelikheid moet beteuel.
A Ek wandel in die natuur, doen navorsing (oor enigiets – alles interesseer my), geniet die geselskap van my geliefdes en, glo dit as jy wil, musiekmaak.
V Wat inspireer jou kreatief en persoonlik? Wie is ‘jou mense’? A Ek weet nie of iets spesifiek my inspireer nie. Inspirasie werk nie vir my so nie – dis nie ‘n fonteintjie waarby jy kan gaan tap nie (anders het ek my tent sommer daar gaan opslaan!). Inspirasie is vir my iets wat my op die vreemdste tye toetakel, en dan moet ‘n mens die meeste daarvan maak wat jy kan. My soort mense is enigiemand met integriteit, waarvan ‘n mooi hart in die oë sigbaar is, en wat nie poer-poer in die regterbaan nie! V Die meeste van die musiek op jy en ek en ek en jy is liefdesgedigte. Jy is ook bekend vir jou toonsettings van ikoniese Afrikaanse digter Ingrid Jonker se gedigte. Wat is jou ‘verhouding’ met die enigma van Ingrid? A Ek het, soos meeste van my Afrikaanse tydgenote, kennis gemaak met jonker se werk op skool. ‘n gedig hier en daar, een oor in, ander oor uit. Maar in 2003 het ek ‘n baie treffende dokumentêr oor haar lewe gesien terwyl ek in Nederland op toer was. Ek was ineens aangegryp deur die intensiteit en eerlikheid van haar werk. Dit was eers twee jaar daarna dat 7de Laan my gevra het om ‘n gedig – enige gedig – van enige Afrikaanse digter van my keuse te toonset vir een van hulle programme. Die enkele lied het twee geword, en kort daarna ‘n hele album, wat toe my eerste Afrikaanse vrystelling geword het. Haar werk is ook buitengewoon musikaal, wat vir ‘n musikant ‘n onweerstaanbare bekoring inhou. V Jy is ‘n groot voorstander en praktiseerder van self tuin maak en jou eie groente kweek. Waarmee is jy op die oomblik besig? Wat is jou grootste tuinplesier? A My kappertjies, wortels, broccoli, kool, Brusselse spruitjies en beet begin nou kop uitsteek, so my hooftuinfunksie is tans om te bid vir ‘n goeie reënseisoen.

AWSUM NEWS AUGUST 2017
V Hoekom Chameleon? A Ons almal pas maar aan by ons omgewing. Jy is nie dieselfde mens voor jou beminde as voor jou baas, as voor jou kollegas en as voor jou personeel nie. Dis nie skynheilig nie – dis eerder die onmiddelike omgewing wat verskillende aspekte van ons uitlig. En in daardie opsig is ons soos verkleurmannetjies: die omgewing bepaal ons skakering. Ek identifiseer al sedert 1988 met hierdie eienskap en het besluit om dit myself toe te eien. V Wat was jou reis na dié van ‘n professionele musiekkunstenaar toe? Was jy van kleins af ‘n musikant? A Ek was nog altyd musikaal, maar het eers in matriek ‘n instrument (kitaar) begin speel, wat toe die vaslegging van my eie toonsettings moontlik gemaak het. Ek is nie seker hoe goed ek met musiek is nie, maar as jy weet hoe vrot ek in so baie ander dinge is, sal jy hoop ek bly maar by musiek. V Wat is jou boodskap vir ons leerders oor die lewe, die liefde, en hoe om sukses te bereik? A Sukses is net twee dinge: liefde en geluk. ‘n Hele rits ander dinge word onder die vaandel van sukses verkoop, maar dis bogpraatjies. As jy jou idee van sukses aan geld, roem, erkenning gaan koppel, stel jy jouself op vir geweldige teleurstelling, want selfs die helderste sterre hou op skyn. Ek het al met van die mense wat die hoogte sport in die vermaaklikheidswese bereik het, gepraat en gewerk en by die wat ten tyde van ons kontak daar verkeer het, het ek ‘n leegte gemerk, en by die wat al die hoogste sport bereik het en al begin taan het, het ek kommer en soms selfs bitterheid gemerk. Niemand gaan ooit vir altyd die kat se snor bly nie. Dis lekker terwyl dit hou, maar ek sou aanraai dat dit jou nie definieer nie. Dis diere en kinders, eerder as konings, wat vir jou die beste aanduiding van jou waarde sal gee.

Let’s Cook! This is my favourite time of the year: the lemons on my trees are turning bright yellow and I just love getting my hands onto them.
Lemon Pickles INGREDIENTS
• 10 very ripe unwaxed lemons • 3 tsp salt • ½ tsp ground turmeric • ¼ tsp ground fennel seed • 2 ½ tsp chilli powder • ½ tsp ground cumin • 1 ½ cups caster sugar
METHOD
• Place the lemons into a large saucepan with 4 cups of water and boil gently till the skins are just soft, remove from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and let them cool. • Cut the lemons into quarters over a large boil so that you can catch any juices escaping from them. • Place the lemons into the bowl with the juices and scatter over the salt, turmeric, ground fennel, chilli powder and ground cumin, give it a stir to coat the lemons, leave them to macerate for 12 minutes. • Stir in the caster sugar and stir till the sugar dissolves. • Spoon into well sterilized jars with tight fitting lids, store in the fridge and use within 3 months. • You can start using the pickle after 3 days.
When life gives you – just cook up a storm! I can’t remember when last I took a day off to do whatever I wanted to do, a day where I never looked at an email or answered my phone ... haaaaaaaaaaaaaa well that will never happen, but I did take a half day off to do just that. I signed up for a magazine readers’ day of pure spoiling and pampering in Franschhoek. After a delicious lunch, my pampering began with a full body massage, facial, pedicure and an Indian head massage. You can’t believe how hungry a girl feels after all that pampering. Now we all know that Franschhoek has a lot to offer on the food front and I have had many delicious meals there, but never have I had a curry there. Imagine my surprise when I bumped into an old chef friend at a lovely Indian restaurant in the village. When she discovered I was in the restaurant, she did what we chefs do for each other: take the agony out of deciding what to eat from a menu so enticing we can’t choose, she did the ordering for us. One of the condiments that I really enjoyed with my poppadums was the lemon pickles, and here is my twist on them. This is the perfect time to make them, as lemons are in season, so make a few jars and give them to your friends as gifts.

Final Matric assembly
De Hoop’s band rocks!
On Monday, 14 August 120 matriculants came full circle as they rang the traditional bell once again – this time signifying their last De Hoop milestone, the special Matric Assembly. The Grade 7 class of 2012 laughed and cheered as they watched their younger selves strutting their stuff down memory lane. Contrary to popular belief, De Hoop students really do appreciate their schooling and fondly exchanged hugs and jokes with their ex teachers. Go well, Matrics. We wish you every success as you take your final academic and character tests in this last phase of your school years.

Die De Hoop Ondersteunersklub het ‘n fantastiese aand gereël waar die Sewes rugbyafrigter, Neil Powell, asook die kaptein, Philip Snyman, en Dylan Sage in gesprek getree het met Marius Schoeman en interessanthede gedeel het.
Van 10 tot 12 Augustus het De Hoop se 0.13 netbal-, rugby- en hokkiespanne gaan toer – van die Paarl tot Worcester, Montague, Oudtshoorn en terug. Langs die pad het hulle baie ander sports gehad, ook agterop kamele!

Bloemhof oorheers interskole teen Oranje Meisieskool Die HMS Bloemhof het die naweek gasvrou gespeel vir die 21ste jaarlikse interskole teen die C & N Sekondêre Meisieskool Oranje van Bloemfontein en die Oranjeniete behoorlik gewys hoe daar aan dié kant van die wingerdgordyn gekompeteer kan word. Bloemhof wen vanjaar die landloop, seniordebat, tennis én netbal. Oranje neem slegs die hokkie- en die skaakbeker huis toe. Die interskole het op ‘n hoë noot begin toe die landloopspan met 116 punte vir Oranje (op 112 punte) uitstof het. Alhoewel Oranje eerste oor die eindstreep tree, kry Lara Rossouw en Cimòn van der Westhuizen dit reg om onderskeidelik ‘n tweede en vierde plek te bekom. Tydens die kultuuroggend het die seniordebatspan daarin geslaag om hul debat te wen, maar met Oranje se juniors wat met hul argument kon oortuig, word die debatsoorwinning vanjaar gedeel. Die hoogtepunt was ongetwyfeld die verskeidenheidskonsert wat daarna plaasgevind het. Die laaste

item op die program (‘n massa-uitvoering deur die Bloemhof Accelerando Koor en Oranje se Con Spirito Koor ter viering van Oranje se skoolhoof, me. Mariehetta Matthee, wat vanjaar ná ‘n kwarteeu se diens as hoof aftree) het vir hoendervleis gesorg. Op die tennisbaan oorrompel die Bloemhoffers hul Vrystaatse susters behoorlik deurdat die 0.15’s, die 0.19B’s én die eerste tennisspan oorwinnings inpalm. Lize-Alet Morkel, wat die naweek as nommer 1-tennisspeler vir die beseerde SA-tennisspeler Minette van Vreden moes instaan, het haar uitstekend van haar taak gekwyt en tot die Bloemhof-oorwinning bygedra. Die Bloemhof-netbalspanne wen 15 van die 28 wedstryde. Die A-spanne is baie gelyk en ons 0.14’s, 0.15’s en 0.17’s verloor met slegs drie, twee en ‘n enkele doel onderskeidelik. Die eerste netbalspan wen met twee doele, maar dis die 0.16A’s wat die Vrystaters met die kous oor die kop huis toe stuur, want hulle teken vier doele aan vir elke OMS-doel en wen 20:5!

Van die 12 hokkiewedstryde wat gespeel is, wen Bloemhof twee: die 0.14A’s se blink rekord bly skitter met ’n eindtelling van 3:1, terwyl hul maats in die 0.14B-span die ander oorwinning behaal. Vier wedstryde eindig met gelyke tellings met die gevolg dat ons net ses wedstryde verloor – ’n noemenswaarige verbetering teen ’n gedugte hokkieskool. Die eerste hokkiespan mag maar breëbors rondstap, want dis die eerste keer sedert 1999 wat Oranje se o.19A’s nié ’n oorwinning behaal nie. Die 2:2 gelykoptelling vir die eerstespan teen SA se beste skolehokkiespan het alle verwagtinge oortref. Die twee doele word deur Leigh Smith en Marli Ehlers geslaan, maar die speler van die wedstryd was die Bloemhofdoelwagter Mishka Ellis. Sy slaag daarin om uit 37 aanvalle slegs twee nie te keer nie. Die HMS Bloemhof is trots op al die spanne en weet die winterseisoen word op ’n hoogtepunt afgesluit.
Bloemhof se eerste netbalspan is oorstelp van vreugde net ná hul oorwinning oor Oranje Meisieskool.
HOËRSKOOL PAREL VALLEI What a team, what a season! Parel Vallei’s u/18A girls’ hockey has had a phenomenal season this year. Firstly, they won the Fairmont Easter Tournament in April. They then travelled to Kingswood College in Grahamstown to play in their festival, where they were unbeaten. At the beginning of the third term they also played in the International Hockey Tournament in Cape Town and were the worthy winners of the silver medal after drawing in the final against Rhenish. They also ended third in the Western Cape Spar Challenge. This outstanding PV team of hockey girls also won the Investec Tournament on 16 August, presented by Bloemhof.

Die blou PV-gees tref PE!
Meer as 700 Parel Valleiers en 60 personeellede het gedurende die tweede week van Augustus hulle tasse vol afwagting en hope gees gepak vir die heel eerste derby teen die Hoërskool Pearson in Port Elizabeth. Gedurende die naweek is daar meegeding op verskeie terreine en die spanne in blou en groen het kragte gemeet op akademiese, kulturele en sportgebied! Die stad PE het sy naam werklik eer aangedoen met die vriendelike gasheerfamilies en personeellede van Pearson wat ons welkom geheet het na ‘n lang busrit van 712 km! Nadat almal afgepak het, is daar heerlik gekuier en Donderdagaand se Kultuur-derby het begin met ‘n poësie-, fotografie- en ontwerp-/kunsuitstalling. Daarna het ‘n vol skoolsaal ondersteuners kom luister en kyk na kooroptredes en PV se High School Jammusiekblyspel wat omtrent almal se litte losgemaak het vir die sportprogram wat die volgende dag afgeskop het. Buiten hokkie-, rugby- en
netbalwedstryde, het leerders ook deelgeneem aan fietsry, tennis, muurbal en skaaktoernooie. Die kultuurprogram is Vrydagmiddag voortgesit met ‘n Dink-of-Sink-debat in Afrikaans, Engelse debat, algemene kennisvasvra, Wiskunde- en spelkompetisies, asook ‘n toneelspelkompetisie wat die hele gehoor staande gehad het! Die Saterdag was ‘n propvol sportdag en dit het omtrent fyn beplanning gekos om in al die aksie te kon deel! Leerders het doelgerig en gemotiveerd deelgeneem aan alle wedstryde en die naweek het ongelooflike sportmangees en aanskoulike sporttalent van beide skole se leerders getoon. ‘n Hartlike BLUE THREAD-dankie aan alle leerders, personeellede, ouers en ondersteuners wat die naweek so onvergeetlik gemaak het! Die toer was werklik baie voorspoedig en dit was vir oud en jonk in baie opsigte ‘n verrykende nuwe ervaring! Ons sien uit om Pearson volgende jaar te verwelkom en om die nuwe tradisie met trots voort te sit!

Redenaars en debat Die afgelope naweek was een van besonderse uitslae vir redenaars en debat by die ATKV-finaal. Charl Smit het in die onvoorbereide afdeling vir seniors deelgeneem en is aangewys as een van die vyf beste sprekers landswyd. Dié vyf besonder talentvolle sprekers moes elkeen ‘n tweede toespraak voorberei om by die gala-aand voor die hele gehoor voor te dra. Christiaan van der Walt het deelgeneem aan die voorbereide afdeling vir seniors en ‘n puik toespraak gelewer. Sy posisie sal in die week bekend gemaak word. Die senior debatspan, Jacques Botma en Mihan van Zyl, het Saterdag nie net hul eie debat teen Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog (Witbank) gewen nie, maar is algeheel as die vierde sterkste span landswyd aangewys. Dit terwyl hulle as blote gr.10’s teen matriekspanne gekompeteer het. Al hierdie seuns het uitmuntend presteer en letterlik honderde opponente geklop om hierdie prestasies te behaal! Baie geluk!
Well done, Jamie!

Jamie’s tour to Europe with the SA Junior Triathlon team went extremely well. He competed against the best Triathletes in Europe and, as you can imagine, the level of competition was extremely high.

These were his results: • 24th at the Holten ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup; • 5th at the Panevezys ETU Triathlon Youth European Cup in Lithuania (Semi Final); • 14th at the Panevezys ETU Triathlon Youth European Cup in Lithuania (Final); • 5th at the Tiszaujvaros ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup in Hungary (Semi Final);
• 11th at the Tiszaujvaros ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup in Hungary (Final); • 11th at the Tabor ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup; We are pleased to advise that Jamie has been selected to represent SA in the Junior Elite team for the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Rotterdam on 19 September. (He is the only male Junior triathlete selected to represent Triathlon SA).
0.15-tennis wen silwermedajes in Pretoria Die 0.15-tennisspan van PRG het deelgeneem aan die 0.15 Nasionale Tennistoernooi in Pretoria. Die toernooi was vanjaar aangebied deur HS Waterkloof en is gespeel by onder andere Waterkloof, Affies, St. Mary’s (DSG) en Pretoria Boys High. Die PRGers het hulself uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt en die silwer medalje gewen. Die tien deelnemende skole was opgedeel in twee groepe en ‘n rondomtalietoernooi het plaasgevind tussen die skole in elke groep. Aan die einde van hierdie fase het die twee groepe oorkruis teen mekaar gespeel ten einde die twee beste skole te bepaal. Die PRG span was ingedeel saam met die 1ste gekeurde, Waterkloof. Gedurende die rondomtaliefase het die Paul Roos-manne verloor
teen Waterkloof, maar verder al hul wedstryde gewen en sodoende tweede in hul groep geëindig. In die oorkruis semi-finaal het Paul Roos met ongelooflike veggees en durf vir Grey College, wat eerste in hul groep was, met 5–4 gewen. Hierdie semi-finaal was uiters spannend en die oorwinning was eers moontlik nadat die PRG-manne die finale dubbelswedstryd met 8–4 gewen het. Waterkloof het Affies met 5–0 in hul semi-finaal gewen. Paul Roos het in die finaal dus weer teen Waterkloof te staan gekom, maar ongelukkig met 1–5 verloor. Die span het ongelooflike ervaring opgedoen, wat waardevol vir hul ontwikkeling en vir die toekoms sal wees. Baie geluk aan hierdie Paul Roos spelers wat die skool met trots verteenwoordig het!

Somerset College students excel at Scholars Cup Well over a hundred teams from all over the world participated in the World Scholars’ Cup Global Round, which was recently held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Competing in four events (Debating, Collaborative
Writing, Scholar’s Challenge – a very difficult multiple-choice test, and the Scholars’ Cup – a team quiz), teams were ranked according to their overall scores across the entire competition in order to determine who would compete at the Tournament
of Champions, which is being held at Yale University this November. Both the junior and senior teams from Somerset College ranked in the top 25 of their respective divisions and thus qualified for this prestigious event.
