Neil Powell
Johannes Daniel Powell is one of South Africa's most successful rugby coaches in the last ten years. Better known as Neil, he is an excellent example of what a coach should have to create a winning culture and healthy coaching environment.
Powell took over from previous Springbok Sevens head coach, Paul Treu, right before the 2013 edition of the South African leg of the World Sevens Series. Despite his many accolades, the former Free Cheetahs star is first and foremost a family man before a World Sevens Series winning coach. "My family is very important to me," Powell told Awsum News in an exclusive interview. "My wife and kids always come first and I try to maintain the balance between my hectic coaching and personal life, by not bringing work home." The former scrumhalf firmly believes in prioritising his time spent with his family when he gets home in the evening, a philosophy not often heard of in the world of professional rugby. This is by no means an excuse for him to shut himself off completely, but, this, he says is how he and his family maintains a healthy environment at home. "I try not to take work home, but if I do, I won't work while my family is awake, that way I get to spend more time with them. I would rather get up around 4 or 5 am if I need to get some work done. I am a firm believer that I need to turn in for the night the same time my family does. An exception would be made for maybe one night of the week, but most of the time I try to avoid working at home." Under his guidance, the Blitzboks have secured eleven tournament wins, a bronze Olympic medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, a Commonwealth Gold medal in 2014 in Scotland and recently the 2016/17 HSBC World Sevens Series title. Powell has not only developed and created a winning culture, but also a warm family-like environment whereby his players have grown into world-class players. The hectic traveling and working schedule of a world-class professional coach does take its toll on quality time away from his family. It isn't always all glitz and glamour like the public perceives it to be. Coach Neil and his family have put a few rules in place to balance the scales. One of these rules is that they breakaway for at least two days after he has returned from traveling with the Springbok Sevens squad. "There is always someone that wants to see you or some function that our friends want us to go to, but because I travel for up to two and half weeks at a time, I take my family away, after returning from tour, for a couple of days. Just me, my wife and our kids. I try to make up for the time I spend away from home."
Keeping the Passion Burning
The Blitzbok head coach, however, is not naive to think that he can cut himself completely from the entire sporting world when he gets home to Casa del Powell, but they remain intentional to have dad and hubby's work not influence the family time during the periods that he isn't on tour. "It is difficult, especially these days with social media and all the various media platforms to switch yourself off completely from the world, but I will rather watch some soccer with my kids than rugby. We also have a rule in the house in that we eat at the table and not in front of the television. It just helps to build a healthier and more grounded family environment." This philosophy is somewhat evident in the Blitzboks family, with coach Powell being the father-figure for the Blitzboks it testifies to a successful, healthy and warm environment. Touring life can be daunting, not only on the players but on the coaches as well. It can become very lonely, but Powell believes the manner in which he conducts himself, runs his household and family allows him to remain motivated and inspired. "It does get very lonely on tour, yes," Powell added when asked if he misses home a lot while finding himself in some of the world's major cities. "I often find myself looking at a photo of my family and telling myself that what I do is for them. "I also have a winning drive within myself, it's not that I enjoy winning, I just don't like losing. I admit I am a bad loser," Powell said candidly. The future of Springbok Sevens rugby is in good hands, with Powell and his charges set to prepare for the Rugby World Cup Sevens as well as the Commonwealth Games, both set to take place later this year. The Stellenbosch based coach has not only seemingly created a winning culture and high-performance environment. but he remains passionate about Springbok Rugby, the latter being one of his biggest drives in creating a world-class team.
"I have an immense passion for Springbok rugby as a whole and will always keep this passion burning."

I love Potatoes with a Passion!
by Jenny Morris @jennymorrischef
Let’s Cook!
• Potato wedges with hot piquanté pepper relish • Scrub 6 large potatoes. • Cut into wedges and toss with olive oil, Peppadew® hot piquanté pepper relish, honey, thyme leaves and crushed garlic. • Season generously with salt and pepper. • Roast at 180 c until golden - about 45 minutes. • Serve with bowls of sour cream and guacamole.
The poor potato has been banned, demonized and is now an outcast, and the low-carb craze has given it a bad reputation, well not in my book, this delicious vegetable is one of my favourite starches and I just can’t turn my back on it. Potatoes are so versatile, you can smash them, mash them, squish and squash them, bake and roast them, boil and fry them, use them in cakes and breads. The humble potato is an edible tuber that was first cultivated in the Andes and in the early 16th century. Spanish explorers brought the potato back to Europe from their South American expeditions and back then it was thought to be completely inedible and even poisonous, well it is not inedible or poisonous, it is packed with a variety of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that ward off disease and benefit human health. Did you know… that the potato is a relative of tobacco and the tomato. Potato actually comes from the Spanish world patata, potatoes have more potassium than bananas, potatoes became the first food to grow in space when potato plants were taken aboard the space shuttle Columbia in 1995, Australians eat about 60kg of potatoes per person each year. Apparently humans can survive on a diet of just potatoes, and milk or butter, which contain Vitamin A and D, the only vitamins missing from the humble spud. One medium potato contains 45 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C. Potatoes also contain potassium, B6, fiber and numerous other vitamins and minerals. Remember potatoes exposed to bright light develop green patches and this green skin contains the toxin ‘solanine’ which can cause cramps, headache, diarrhoea, and fever, so don’t eat the green skin, you can cut it away and that will make the rest of the potato safe to eat. Plastic bags won’t allow potatoes to breathe, and will shorten their shelf life considerably, so remove them from their plastic bag, if they came in one and keep them in a cool dark place.
The Perfect Baked potato
• 1 potato per person and two for me • Now scrub your potatoes until they are very clean. Then, make sure that they are very dry. • Rub olive oil all over the potatoes and then coat them in salt. • Prick the potatoes all over to allow air to escape as they bake, place onto a baking tray and them till the skins are crisp and the flesh gives when they are pressed. • Remove and split and fill with lots of yummy salted butter.

Oakdale hoping to raise the bar Oakdale Agricultural High School is well known for their rugby and tug-of-war. Situated in Riversdal, the school has produced some of the country’s top rugby players. The most notable in the last few years is the British & Irish Lions South African born CJ Stander. The Ireland loose forward is part of a handful of talented international players that graced the halls of Oakdale. Pedrie Wannenburg, Johann Muller, Meyer Bosman and most recently Junior Springbok JT Jackson. The school is among the top 20 rugby teams in the country, which grants them access to be invited to the popular Wildeklawer rugby tournament in Kimberley. This is by no means a small feat and the 19 quality age group rugby teams testify of the capabilities that exist within the Oakdale family. Preparation is key for any rugby coach or director of rugby, and it is no different for Malan du Plessis and his fellow rugby coaches. The Oakdale teams are getting ready for the 2018 season and given the successful 2017 that they had it goes without saying that they will be targeted by a few teams. Known for their silky skills and talented interplay, Oakdale will be relying on this heading into the season. Du Plessis believes that this will be key for Oakdale in 2018 once again. “To have a good base and platform to play from our the set pieces and to create quick ball at the ruck,” du Plessis told Awsum News when asked what will be the focus areas for Oakdale. “We have a balanced side and we want to play a positive brand of rugby.” Consistency is key for any rugby team, especially at the high school level and it is no different for the boys from Riversdale. Having no less than ten players that were part of the 2017 first team. It serves du Plessis and his charges well knowing that this will become a key element for them. However, like most rugby teams at this time of the year, Oakdale is facing some challenges. “We have ten players still available from 2017, to get their conditioning and level of skill up to standard is the main focus point. We are working hard on all aspects, we don’t have the numbers (400 boys) and a lot of the players are doing summer sport. The challenge is to keep the balance between the different sports codes.” Despite these obstacles, du Plessis remains positive that they will provide the public with an entertaining brand of rugby every time the Oakdale jersey dons a rugby field. A few key players to look out for this year include hooker Keano Hendricks, flank forward Henco Beukes and utility back Clyde Lewis.

Daarna word die dag op gepaste wyse geopen met die klank van die branders in die agtergrond. Nadat al die formaliteite afgehandel is begin die kompetisies in alle erns! Daar is aktiwiteite soos “touchies”, bou van sandkastele, Mnr. en Me. Santos, Ysterman, Vlugbal, Vlotvaart en nog baie meer. Die leerders kry ook “pouse” waartydens hulle lekker in die branders mag baljaar. Die NSRI en nooddienste is heeltyd teenwoordig om almal se veiligheid te verseker. In beheer van hierdie groot hoogtepunt van die skooljaar is Me. K van den Berg.

Jong Oakdalers verwerf bulletjie-status Tydens ‘n amptelike saalopening het 101 graad 8-leerders ten aanskoue van die hele skool hul baadjies van die graad 12-leerders ontvang. Die seremonie is simbolies van die oordraging en ontvangs van die Oakdale-waardesisteem, trots en tradisie om as waardige Bulletjies op te tree vir die jare wat volg. Afgesien van die verantwoordelikheid hiermee aan hulle opgedra, dien dit terselfdertyd as ‘n mosie van vertroue en aanvaarding as “medebroers”.
Somerinterskole gefokus op massa-deelname Die somerinterskole tussen Oakdale en Boland is vanjaar op Riversdal aangebied. Sedert Donderdagmiddag is daar met vier spanne in tennis meegeding, op Vrydag met 6 spanne in krieket en Saterdag is die interskole-atletiek aangebied. Oakdale was veral baie suksesvol in tennis en atletiek, terwyl slegs die 0.15B- en 0.15C-krieketspanne hul wedstryde kon wen. Uitslae lyk as volg: • Tennis: Oakdale 0.19A wen 4-2; 0.19B verloor 1-5; 0.15A wen 4-2 en 0.15B wen 6-0. Die waarde van die Oakdaletennisakademie dra by tot tennissukses. • Krieket: Oakdale 0.19A verloor met 44 lopies; 0.19B

Vollie kleure-atletiek saam met Seeff Riversdal Op Woensdag, 24 Januarie 2018, het die hele Vollieland saam met hulle ouers, die OOV en beamptes die heerlike reën trotseer en 2018 se besige sportkalender met ‘n suksesvolle kleureatletiekbyeenkoms afgeskop. Seeff Riversdal het vanjaar besluit om betrokke te raak by die dag en as hoofborg opgetree. Dit word opreg
waardeer. Elke Vollie het met oorgawe aan die dag deelgeneem om seker te maak dat hy of sy vir haar span die wenpunt kon verseker. Op die einde van die dag was dit die Blouspan wat met die beker weggestap het. Die Seeff Victor- en Victrixludorum was Owen Petersen en Irmari Oosthuizen.
