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 egSuid-Afrikaans as ‘n braai?! Geniet ons onderhoud met Jan, asook die beste resep ooit vir braaibroodjies op die volgende bladsy, vir jou volgende braai. Unfortunately, we are also in the season of allergies and hay fever, so we brought you some information on how to avoid and manage these annoying attacks. We introduce AWSUM team member Nadia Matthee, who loves working on AWSUM News, as it is a perfect match for what she wanted to do after her Nadia Matthee Junior Designer studies to become a graphic designer. The year is running downhill faster all the time, and Nadia started working we will be bringing you some exam tips in at AWSUM News late last our upcoming issues – look out for the handy tips to year, after completing her reduce exam stress and for planning exam day. graphic design course in Enjoy September!

Celebrity Interview
Jan
Braai
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. Basta met jou hand soveel sekondes so hoog oor die kole hou. Sodra daar net kole is, braai jy.

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/

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

Matric Exams:
The final countdown The heat is officially on for Matrics, with just 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 to-do 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.

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.

How well do you understand the powerhouse under your hood? Modern car batteries may be maintenance-free, but there are still important need-to-know facts and checks that can prevent battery damage and keep it running at its best.
Recharge your car battery Q: How long will my battery last? A: The average car battery lasts between five and seven years. If the car is parked unused for extended periods of time, the battery will need to be replaced sooner. To ensure you don’t have to replace it often, choose a high-quality battery.
Q: How often should I refill the water in my battery? A: If your car is fitted with a reliable, maintenance-free battery, never. Maintenancefree means you don’t have the hassle of refilling them, under normal operating conditions.
Q: How will I know when to replace my battery? A: Before you rush to replace your battery, have it properly tested. Irregularities in your car or warning signs could be caused by something other than your battery. However, some warning signs to look out for include: • The engine doesn’t start at all • Starting the motor is difficult or sounds sluggish

• The battery light on your dashboard is on • Your battery seems to lose power during cold or extended starts (in this case, the engine will start, then stop) • Your headlights dim when the car is idle.
Q: How can I extend my battery life? A: Check your battery regularly to ensure the terminals are clean, tightly secured and free of corrosion. Corrosion and leaks can interfere with the battery’s performance. Also get your battery tested regularly to make sure it’s charging correctly. Ensure the hold-down bar which secures the battery in place is fitted correctly. This minimises damage-causing vibration.
Q: What should I do when my battery goes flat? A: If your battery’s flat, you can recharge it using a portable battery charger. Jump starting is only a quick fix – best practice is to charge the battery properly to keep it in good condition. For complete peace of mind, visit your nearest battery centre to make sure your battery is in peak condition.

HOËRSKOOL WATERKLOOF (t) 012 347 0277/8 (e) admin@klofies.co.za Hoërskool Waterkloof verjaar Die Klofies het op Vrydag, 16 September behoorlik fees gevier met die skool se verjaardag. Die dag het afgeskop met vierkant-opening en soos gebruiklik was die vierkant opgetooi met nie minder nie as 23 000 gekleurde ballonne. Die onderskeie graadgroepe het tydens die opening die geleentheid gekry om hul verjaardagwense en ‘n koek aan die hoof, mnr. Daan Potgieter, se oorhandig. Die boodskappe en koeke was ewe indrukwekkend en het besondere luister aan die dag se verrigtinge verleen. Die vierkantopening is met gradeontbyte opgevolg, waarna die Klofies die jaarlikse Kaskarkompetisie gehou het. Kaskar is heerlike pret by die Klofies met hope spangees, modderputte, waterhindernisse en tonne pret! Deurentyd kon leerders op die opwindende verskeidenheid mallemeule ry en die waterglybane geniet. Die dag is afgesluit met die Klofie Karnaval en ‘n konsert deur Die Heuwels Fantasties. Die Klofies weet beslis hoe om hard te werk, maar ook hoe om hard te speel!
Nuwe leiers aangewys Die nuwe leiers van Hoërskool Waterkloof vir 2017 is aangewys. Robynne Coetzee en Wiam Badenhorst neem die leisels by Elana Marais en Janu Buys oor. Beide die leerders is van Laerskool Constantiapark en wil graag ‘n blywende verskil en bydrae tot die skool se kultuur, tradisie en trots maak. Robynne hou van malvapoeding en yskoffie. Haar gunsteling boek is Redeeming Love, deur Francine Rivers en haar gunstelingfilm is The Great Gatsby. Haar Ouma Riekie is haar rolmodel, want sy is sag en opreg. Robynne kan goed onder druk funksioneer en is baie aanpasbaar. Sy giggel as sy sê sy sukkel om vroeg op te staan en sy deel nie graag haar kos nie. Haar filosofie is ‘See the light in others and treat them as if that is all you see.’ Wiam hou van pizza en Sprite. Sy gunstelingboek is Kringe in ‘n bos deur Daleen Matthee en sy gunstelingfilm Inception. Sy mentor is sy pa, omdat hy met enige probleem na hom toe kan gaan. Wiam is blymoedig, liefdevol en positief. Sy swakhede lê daarin dat hy mense te maklik jammer kry en werkies dikwels uitstel. Sy motto is: ‘If I win, I praise God. If I loose, I praise God.’ Die twee het baie planne vir 2017 wat die Klofies alreeds aan die gons het!
Klofie-hokkie is aan die brand! Na meer as ‘n dekade van droom, fondse insamel en beplan, is die hokkie-astro van Hoërskool Waterkloof op Vrydag, 23 September na ‘n jaar se ontwikkeling amptelik in gebruik geneem. Dit was ‘n wonderlike geleentheid wat oor twee dae gevier is. Die dag is afgeskop met die amptelike opening, waarna die Bloues teen die Oues gespeel het. Die huidige eerstespanne het die oud-Klofies gedaag en het gesorg vir heerlike vermaak en uitstekende hokkie. Op Saterdag, 24 September is ‘n ‘Agt aan ‘n kant’hokkiedag aangebied. Die astro is behoorlik in gebruik geneem! Mnr. Gregg Hesom, hokkiedirekteur van Hoërskool Waterkloof en afrigter van die o.21 Suid-Afrikaanse dameshokkiespan, het ‘n oefenkamp vir sy spelers op die astro gehou op Maandag, 26 en Dinsdag, 27 September. Dié span vertrek eersdaags om aan die Wêreldkampioenskappe te gaan deelneem. Op Saterdag het die Blyde River Bunters die Madikwe Rangers in die NHL-kampioenskappe gewen. Wat dié prestasie vir die skool so besonders maak, is dat daar nie minder nie as vier Klofies in die span was. Anel Luüs, Charné Hill en Miecke Flemming is oud-Klofies en Chrizelle Andries is tans ‘n hokkieafrigter by die skool. Die Bunters het 3–1 met die Rangers afgereken en so ‘n heerlike prys van R50 000 losgeslaan. Hokkie is lewendig en gesond by die Klofies!
Skoolhoof, mnr. Daan Potgieter, en voorsitter van die Beheerliggaam van die skool, Advokaat Chris Jansen van Vuuren.
