One of my best Vietnamese experiences was the day we all piled into a long boat and went off down the soupy green Mekong River. We were on our way to the home of a local family for a New Year’s lunch. Our boatman at the back kept saying, “Okay ladies, little bit to the left, little bit to the right. Forwards! Backwards!” We had to keep the boat balanced because, trust me, the last thing we wanted was to capsize into that water! The river is the lifeblood of the people who live along its banks. We saw an old lady plucking a chicken, washing and rinsing it; a bit further downstream was a man bathing his dog; then there were people doing the dishes and washing their clothes; and finally someone with his bum perched out over the water! The locals obviously have to boil every drop of that water and filter it for drinking. We eventually made it to our destination, scrambling and digging our way up the bank to the home of our hosts, where we received a wonderful warm welcome from the family and their neighbours. The table was beautifully set and I can’t even begin to describe the wonderful aromas – star anise, hints of ginger, garlic. There were bowls brimming with enticing ingredients: flaked brisket,
slow-braised with lots and lots of love; the fattest plump pink prawns; fresh mint, coriander, basil and what they call morning glory; water weed, also known as swamp cabbage, which gives lots of texture to the food; slivered cucumber and carrots; and a gorgeous dipping sauce. The idea was that the man of the household would show us how to roll all of this into crystal spring rolls, after which we would make our own. It’s a fabulous idea for entertaining at home, in any country. As it was New Year, they offered us chrysanthemum wine, a bitter drink with no alcoholic kick. We reciprocated by offering our own New Year wine from Cape Town –one of the women in our group had a bottle of whisky in her bag. Needless to say, it had much more of an effect on them than the chrysanthemum wine had on us! The head man was knocking it back and loving it. After quite a few shots, he took some of the spring roll wrappers, which he soaked in a little warm water, laid them out, and proceeded to fill them. While he was doing this, all the attention was on his hands and when I looked down – well! – I have never seen such filthy, grubby fingers or such black nails. I was heaving deep inside and thinking, “Please don’t let him
Of Vietnamese row boats & spring rolls
touch my food, I won’t be able to eat it.” Of course he rolled the most perfect, tight little spring roll and offered it to me. I couldn’t let him lose face and neither could I, so I said, “I am not worthy of this.” So he gave it to a friend sitting next to me – and she didn’t love me for that! He continued to partake of the Cape Town New Year wine for the rest of the meal and when we eventually got down that hill, into the boat and back onto the river, we were telling one another which way to lean to balance the boat. We hadn’t realised that the spring roll man and our boatman were one and the same, and he was no longer in any condition to keep himself or us upright. Spring Rolls can be filled with any type of filling that grabs your fancy – beef, pork, chicken, duck seafood or just all kinds of crunchy veggies.
Prawn Crystal Spring Rolls Serves 6
I learned to make these at the home of a tipsy boatman on the banks of the Mekong River. They are utterly delicious – fresh, crunchy and tasty – and are really easy to make, even though they take a little time to put together. Get someone to give you a hand soaking the rice paper. The trick is to soak one at a time, as they are very delicate, and by the time you have filled one, the next one will be ready to roll with a little help from a friend.
INGREDIENTS Dipping Sauce • ½ cup rice vinegar • ¼ cup boiling water • ½ cup castor sugar • 1 Tbs fish sauce • 2 small chillies, chopped • 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1Tbs finely-diced fresh cucumber
Spring Rolls • 24 prawns, deveined, lightly steamed and shelled • 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly julienned • 1 cup freshest bean sprouts • 1 medium English cucumber, julienned • 24 large fresh mint leaves • 24 fresh basil leaves • 12 coriander sprigs • 24 butter lettuce leaves • 12 dried rice paper rounds
METHOD
by Jenny Morris
• Make the dipping sauce first. Place the vinegar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fish sauce and chillies. Stir in the chopped coriander, sesame oil and diced cucumber when cool and set aside. • To make the spring rolls, place one rice paper at a time in a bowl of warm water to to soften it slightly. Remove to a flat surface and place a little red cabbage, carrot, a few bean sprouts and some cucumber in the centre of the rice paper and top with two fresh mint and basil leaves and a sprig of coriander. Now top with two prawns and a lettuce leaf. If the leaves are too big, trim them to size. • Fold in the sides of the rice paper and gently roll up nice and tight. Do the same with the remaining rounds of rice paper. Pack onto a tray with enough space between them so they don’t stick together, and cover with a damp clean cloth. • When you are ready to serve, slice the rolls in half diagonally, place on a plate and serve with dipping sauce I sometimes make these with shredded duck breast, rare thinly-sliced beef fillet, shredded chicken breasts, or even leave out the meat and go vegetarian. If you can lay your hands on some Vietnamese mint, please add a leaf to your roll.
@jennymorrischef
Tip: You can make these up to two hours ahead – just cover them with a clean damp cloth to prevent them from drying out! © Taste The World with Jenny Morris 2013

Banish the blank: How to manage a mid-exam meltdown As Matrics head to exam halls to write one of the most important examinations they will ever write, some will find themselves in a terrifying situation where they hit that dreaded blank – an inability to recall information despite months of solid preparation and dedicated study.
Writing an exam can be a very stressful experience for many learners, even when they were diligent in their revision. Teachers and parents should, as their final act of support before pen is put to paper, empower learners to know what to do should they be confronted with a mental void when they receive their papers. The exam environment can be unfamiliar and daunting. The environment is often a formal one, with rules about where to sit, what you can do, and what you can have with you. It is quite normal to experience exam nerves in an examination venue. However, sometimes students can become so overwhelmed that they cannot remember the material that they have spent many hours reviewing. This can lead them to feel even more panicked and stressed. To avoid runaway nerves, learners should do the following in the minutes before the clock starts: Firstly, when you receive the paper, carefully read through all the instructions and every page of the paper. Then re-read all the instructions. This will give you a sense of what is expected of you. Remind yourself that even if you do forget some details, it is unlikely that you will completely forget everything. Then, while reading through the paper, mark all the questions that you can answer. Start with these questions first. That will give you some confidence and allow your mind some time to process, as well as to start accumulating some marks for the paper. If, despite approaching a paper in this manner, a learner still feels overwhelmed, they can take the following steps in order to gain their equilibrium and confidence. 1. Don’t panic If you feel panicked, take long, slow and deep breaths. Doing this will calm you physically. Getting the physical panic under control is an important step in calming your mind. 2. Calm down Once you have calmed your body, it is time to calm your mind. Give yourself a mental pep-talk by repeating to yourself “I am calm. I have worked hard. I know my work.” You can also give yourself this pep talk while you are taking deep breaths. 3. Get back to business Once you are feeling a bit calmer, go back to the questions that you believed that you could not answer. Try to jot down anything and everything that you can remember about the material. You can always cross this out to indicate that it should not be marked.
4. Visualise If you cannot remember any of the material, try to use some memory tricks to assist you. For example, try to visualise sitting in class when the material was covered, or try to picture yourself in your study area with your notes in front of you. Often thinking about the context of the material can help you to remember it. 5. Reconstruct your memories If you are able to jot down notes about the material, review these notes and see how the information that you have remembered relates to the question. Try to reformulate your notes into a response to the question that was given to you. 6. Remember the big picture Keep in mind that what you are usually marked on is your ability to answer the question. In the worst case scenario, where you cannot remember a single piece of information from your course material, simply try to answer the question from a common sense perspective. You may find that you do actually know quite a bit about the question and may be awarded some marks for your general knowledge. Doing this may also prompt you to remember the course material. Staying calm is your most important weapon in the exam room, as is keeping a sense of perspective at all times, and endeavouring only to do your best in whichever situation you find yourself. You need to remember that you generally have more than one opportunity to perform in a subject. For example, you may write more than one paper for any one subject, and your year marks also count towards your final mark. If, in the worst case scenario, you do fail the exam papers, and your year marks, you may still have the opportunity to apply to re-write the subject.

Health & Wellbeing Pollen not the biggest culprit behind SA’s hayfever woes
It’s the height of the hayfever season. Hayfever is a condition that affects approximately 30% of South Africans, but pollen might not be the main culprit behind your nasal allergy misery. For decades, hayfever sufferers have been led to believe that their condition is brought on by the amount of pollen in the air, but there are a host of other triggers too. Pollen could in many cases elicit a severe allergic reaction, but sufferers will be surprised to learn that their nasal allergies might not have anything to do with pollen spores. Hayfever symptoms, however, vary from person to person, but typically include an itchy, runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, postnasal drip and/ or fatigue. In general, there is a huge misconception that if someone sneezes a lot, they must have pollen-induced hayfever, when it could be due to many other allergens such as dust mites, pets or cockroaches. The most commonly inhaled allergens are: • different types of pollen (from trees, grass, weeds and flowers) • house dust mite • cat and dog dander • cockroaches • fungal spores Other triggers that could worsen symptoms include: • Strong perfumes and cold air can trigger nasal symptoms by non-allergic mechanisms • Red wine – alcohol is a vasodilator, which widens your blood
vessels and can cause a runny or stuffy nose, but wine in particular can exacerbate symptoms because it contains sulphites. Red wine is highest in sulphites and is fermented with grape skins, which contain a protein allergen. • Veggie drawer – some fruits and vegetables contain proteins similar to those found in pollen, which can confuse your immune system. • Swap contact lenses for glasses on high-pollen days since dust and pollen can stick to contact lenses, trapping allergens against your already itchy and irritated eyes. • Swimming in chlorinated pools may irritate your airways, which could aggravate allergy symptoms. • A humidifier is a reservoir for mould and bacteria, so clean it regularly to get the maximum relief from this device. One can treat nasal allergies with antihistamines, which prevent histamine from attaching to your cells and causing symptoms. A decongestant can also be used to reduce the swelling in the nasal passages, but the latter could cause a rebound effect if used for longer than the recommended three to five days, which could end up making you even more congested, so use only as directed.

LAERSKOOL BELLVILLE-NOORD Krieket ‘n Groepie o.8 mini-krieketspelers van Bellville-Noord het (saam met ander skole se o.8’s) die groot eer te beurt geval om die Proteas, Australiërs en skeidsregters op die veld te vergesel voor die laaste eendagwedstryd van die pas afgelope reeks. Die Proteas het die reeks 5-0 gewen. Die paar wat saam met die Australiërs moes stap was eers erg ontsteld hieroor (hul wou so graag saam met die Proteas op die veld gaan), maar het later darem breed geglimlag toe die Australiërs vir elkeen ‘n splinternuwe krieketbal gegee het!

‘n Huldeblyk aan mnr. Francois du Toit 19 Oktober 1959 – 11 Oktober 2016 Ons as kollegas, vriende en leerders van Laerskool De Tyger bring hulde aan ‘n geliefde skoolhoof, mnr. Francois du Toit. De Tyger was vir hom alles en daar is talle bewyse dat hy dikwels die skool se belange bo sy eie gestel het. Hy het met sy wysheid en insig oneindig baie bygedra om te verseker dat De Tyger vooruitgang toon en die beste vir sy leerders kon bied. Vir ons as personeel was hy ‘n steunpilaar en ‘n rigtingaanwyser wat daagliks vir ons die pad aangewys het. Hy was vir ons ‘n vriend op wie ons kon staatmaak en ‘n mentor wat ons van raad voorsien het.
Mnr. du Toit was ‘n familieman vir wie sy gesin altyd eerste gekom het. Hy sou enigiets doen om hulle te ondersteun en te beskerm en wou altyd net die beste vir hulle hê. Sy lewe was van so ‘n aard dat sy gesin na hom kon opkyk met trots. Hy was vir sy gesin ‘n bron van inspirasie. Hy het hulle op die hande gedra en God se liefde vir hom oor hulle uitgestort. Hy het God erken as sy Skepper en Hom onvoorwaardelik liefgehad en vertrou. Ons gaan mnr. du Toit baie mis, maar nooit vergeet nie. Ons koester kosbare herinneringe aan hom wat ons tot die einde bemoedig het.

LABIANCE PRIMARY SCHOOL (t) 021 949 9740 (e) admin@labiance.co.za Music runs in our veins! On Tuesday, 20 October Labbies music learners showed off their talents by performing at the Music Evening. Every music learner was awarded the opportunity to perform on stage and perform a piece they learned throughout the year. The evening consisted of piano solos, piano duets, recorder ensembles, and solo singing. The well-known Glee Group also entertained with a beautiful performance. To top it off, three very talented singing staff members also performed. Although the evening was about showing just how talented Labbies are, the main focus was on the educational aspect of the music. There were demonstrations on just how educational music can be and the benefits thereof, both musically and academically. All who attended enjoyed the evening and parents were filled with pride and joy to see their little ones show off. They especially enjoyed the Noot-vir-Noot game at the end, and of course the prizes were welcomed too. A special thank you goes to Mrs M Potgieter for her efforts. It is due to her hard word and daily dedication to the music learners that this evening was possible. She only joined Labbies this year, but already she has left her musical mark. Here’s to another successful Labbies event! Remember: “Where words fail, music speaks.”

Haar leerders blink nasionaal uit in Musiekteorie en vanaf 2009 tot 2015 ontvang sy jaarliks sertifikate van Unisa vir uitsonderlike onderrig in Musiekteorie. In 2012 en 2014 ontvang van haar teorieleerders die Hennie Joubert Merietebeurs vir Musiekteorie en in 2013 en 2014 ontvang Marian ook sertifikate vir uitsonderlike praktiese onderrig van Unisa.

GOLDEN RULES FOR STAYING SAFE
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
After reporting that 60% of national and provincial roads in South Africa were in very poor condition, the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) have listed some golden rules for motorists to observe before departing on their holiday this year.
“It is important to plan your trip and if you are aware of possible delays on a particular route or the general condition of the road you are about to travel on, driver frustration can be minimized because it will be expected. When traveling to remote areas, check with people at the point of destination what the expected road conditions you are likely to encounter and give them an approximate time of arrival – if you are delayed, let them know. “Please be aware that the holiday season is a time when many more drivers and pedestrians tend to be on the roads under the influence of alcohol and it is for this reason that motorists can expect higher levels of law enforcement in this regard,” said the AASA. The AA has listed the following guidelines to assist you on your journey and to help ensure you reach your destination safely: Lights, indicators, windscreen wipers, brakes, steering, exhaust systems and tyres should be carefully examined for faults. • Motorists unsure about the roadworthiness of their vehicles can have a technical examination done at any AA DEKRA centre. • Always carry a spare fan belt and radiator hose in the boot; these could save time and money in the event of a breakdown. • Check insurance policies. Motor vehicle, householder and life assurance policies should be in order and kept in a safe place. • Newspaper and milk deliveries should be canceled and provision made for the care of pets. • Travelers should inform their nearest police station of the period that they will be away from home. • Families traveling an unfamiliar route must plan their journey, use major routes and try and avoid back roads. • Always wear your seatbelt and maintain at least a three to four second following distance. • Increase your following distance at night and on wet roads to six seconds or more. • Fatigue and eye strain can be avoided by making frequent rest stops; driver changes are advisable at rest stops. • Include safety breaks every two hours or every 200 kilometers traveled. • Cars should be locked when unattended, with no valuables inside where they can be seen by passer-bys. • Never leave children or pets in a locked car, the heat built up in the interior can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke and can be fatal.
• Carry your driver’s license at all times. • Drive with your headlights on all the time – this makes you so much more visible to other road users, especially pedestrians. “The rules of the road never change and every year we try and reinforce them.”
“There are far too many accidents on the roads every year, and by reinforcing the safety rules we hope to minimise the amount of road deaths and accidents,” says Ronald. “It is imperative that you look after your safety and the safety of your family this festive season,” concludes the AASA. https://www.aa.co.za/about/press-room/statements/golden-rules-for-staying-safe-this-holiday-season.html
