Pick it up, even if you didn't drop it If everyone picked up the litter from outside their own house our streets would be cleaner. Make an effort twice a week to do this and you'll be playing a positive part in cleaning up the whole city. Make and print a few leaflets and put them in your neighbors post box inviting them to participate. Change needs a spark So you've picked up the litter from in front of your house, now what? Take it to a safe space, somewhere where the smoke won't stink up your neighbors washing or house, and burn it. Do the same with your household rubbish AFTER you've recycled what you can. Sure burning is not the best option but dumping your waste in a public space is even worse. Until service delivery in our communities resumes, it's up to us to work out respectful ways to deal with waste management. After all, it's our rubbish, no-one else's. Walking on broken glass Have you noticed all the broken glass on our verges, roads and pathways? How about making our streets safe for our cyclists, pedestrians and our kids. Don't throw glass bottles on the road - it's just Really Ugly Behavior. Take them home and use them in some way.. Fill it in Adopt a pothole. Not very exciting I know but hey, have you seen any municipal workers fixing them lately? If we want to stop the damage to cars and combis, and avoid accidents then we are going to have to do something about the holes in our roads. They're only going to get worse. So work out a plan with your neighbors and take turns in fixing what's in front of you. Unclog it It's the rainy season and a lot of storm water drains are clogged making the roads flooded at times and making it difficult for pedestrians. Look out for clogged street gutters especially on street corners and arrange with neighbors to remove the soil, rubble and rubbish from them. Get your hands dirty! Switch it off! Help save electricity - that little you do get. Don't leave lights or other electrical appliances that are not in use on throughout the night. Cell phone chargers still consume electricity even when it is left in the socket with the phone disconnected. Although basic cell phone chargers don't consume enormous amounts of energy, when you add up all the cell phone chargers in the country the total energy used still amounts to significant numbers. Turn off other appliances like radios and TVs. We realise that people occupy a variety of dwellings from shacks, to flats and that our shopping centres, which are getting grubbier by the day, represent more challenging circumstances. But in each and every case, if we don't get involved and Do Something, then things will only get worse. CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU!

I look forward to your continued support. Yours faithfully THE MAYOR OF BULAWAYO +++++ 2) NOTICES WARNING My husband and I were last week driving from Jo'burg to BYO on the N1. With our not-so-new fully loaded car (shopping trip!) and the Zim license plates we certainly stood out amongst the smart and mostly newish SA cars. That was what probably attracted the unwanted attention of a dark blue, very new looking Audi with no license plates. They pulled into the lane next to us and through their open window showed us a plastic ID with POLICE written in big letters on it and what looked like an American Sheriffs Star taking up a third of the space. My husband luckily had his wits about him and refused to pull over. They then first drove ahead of us and when they realised we were not going to pull over they fell behind and came up on our side again. This time shouting: Police, pull over.... Again my husband said no and just kept on driving.They were two indian guys middle 20ies to early thirties, fairly long hair, wore black leather jackets and the one on the co-driver seat was holding a walkie-talkie like the real police do. We then called the police and asked for their advice since we knew a toll boot was ahead of us. After listening to tapes ("..if it is a matter of life and death, please press 1...") they were very good and told us they would catch up with us in a few minutes and would stay with us. Which they did. We finally met the police (three different cars!) at a service station and they told us how eager they were to get these guys because it was obviously not a single incident but seems to be a big problem on that N1 in the Jo'burg area. They also showed us a real police ID and it looks just like a real ID with no huge Sheriff Star on it. So please everyone check the emergency numbers that are displayed along the N1 and put them into your cell phones. These numbers change as you drive along but in case of emergency you have to have the one for the area you're in.

I know, full well, that the notice I am giving you & all other interested parties is very short, but I would appreciate some mention in your popular Morning Mirror. I was originally going to do this walk for Self Improvement & Self Achievement, but after hearing & reading about the less fortunate than ourselves, I decided that I COULD DO something, however small or large, depending on the generosity of all of us WHO are already overstretched or DO NOT take the time to say " DO I REALLY NEED THIS Beer, New Pair of Shoes, Bottle of Wine, Dinner out etc." Sometimes we ALL, whether Black or White, Christian, Hindu, Muslim etc. need just to reflect on this once in our lives. I have decided that it is now my turn to do SOMETHING. My Itinerary is attached to the e-mail that you will receive in due course. It may be overly ambitious, but who knows, except me, whether I can or will complete this Journey. I will be glad to furnish further details, but in the Interim I would like the walk to be called the " NAME & SHAME " walk. Those who help, as does the Morning Mirror, should be acknowledged publicly & this I intend to do. Those who promise / pledge assistance & DO NOT DELIVER will also be Named & Shamed, because as you well know there are ' Braggarts " etc. out there who do not know where there Wallet is, let alone their short pockets. Please feel free to edit this message in any way that you want. I must say, that at present, the feed back from those Companies that I have approached thus far has been excellent & I DO EXPECT TO LEAVE ON TIME.

KYC, an acronym for Know Your Child is a two hour interactive workshop for all parents. Parenting can prove to be a very rewarding experience in one's life. We would all agree that children today, thanks to exposure to so much information from various sources, are very different from children a few years ago. Because of the changes in our lifestyles, values and human relations viz. working couples, nuclear families, media exposure, single parents etc., in the recent past, parenting is also becoming a challenge with parents having to deal with many issues related to children's behaviour. Often parents are found saying some of the following : a) He does not listen to me. b) She does not eat properly at all. c) My children are so hyperactive, it is so difficult to control them. d) They are glued to TV or computer games all the time. e) They run away from studies and many more. KNOW YOUR CHILD is a two hour interactive seminar from the Art of Living Foundation which helps parents deal with several such issues by finding the root cause behind them. It gives them an insight into how children think and thus a better understanding of their behaviour. It point that small things that adults tend to overlook that may have a deep impact on children. Several hundred such workshops have been conducted benefiting many thousands of parents making their relationships with their children much more harmonious.

We packed up our things to send them to Cape Town, using Stuttafords. When we unpacked this end we found several items missing. Our video machine was gone, a sealed box containing tools had been carefully opened and nailed shut again minus quite a few very valuable items, and a large box of crockery and kitchenware plus several items of sentimental value simply disappeared. When we approached Stuttafords (in December), there was a brief flurry of emails between Byo and Jhb and then a resounding silence. No one has ever bothered to come back to us on this - or even simply make an apology. Obviously, one has to stand like a hawk over the packers and make sure everything is included and very strong locks have to be fitted. What one does about large items that simply disappear I simply don't know! Pat Townshend ++++++++ 4) CONGRATULATIONS ++++++++ 5) CONDOLENCES ESME STEWART A special lady loved and respected by many, passed away on the 21st March, a day after her 88th birthday.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at Keith and Carole's home, 1(B) Moffat Ave, Hillside, Bulawayo on Thursday 26th March at 3:30pm.

She was a real character and in time we knew her, she proved to be a good friend and a lady who was true to her word. Although we have lived miles away from her for the past three-and-a- half years, we were in touch by email. She had a real sense of humour and had eyes that showed her mischievous, loving nature. To you, Keith, and all your family, please accept our deepest sympathy and our condolences on, as you say, the end of an era but not the end of Es, who will live on in our hearts and in our happy memories. Our love to you all Peter and Denise Botwright, Perth, Scotland. ++++++++ Esme Stewart, .I am sure she is dancing and singing with Elvis in a better place.

Owners emigrating and devastated about leaving their "kids" behind. Both dogs only just out of puppyhood at 18 months old. The male is a jack russell cross wiry haired fox terrier and very faithful and lovable. The female is a foxy cross toy pom who enjoys lots of attention & affection. Both have been fully vaccinated and the female has been spayed. It would be preferable if both could go together as they have been good friends since birth. Would suit an elderly couple looking for company and lots of affection or a family with youngsters as both doggies are very playful and gentle. Please phone Rob/Lyne on 244400 or 011 - 409169 for appointment to view and become acquainted. +++++++ An appeal for Jacarandah House there is a new committee and we would among other things like to try and entertain the dear Old folk, anyone who has jigsaw puzzles, old magazines or even novels in good nick ,maybe if someone is leaving the country and has games ie scrabble, trivial pursuit balderdash(really funny) etc that they need a home for.They could contact me Jean Clarke home afternoons 250830 or mobile 011407753 or Sheila Gill who is the Entertainments person, her phone number is on the next few lines down . Also there is a dear old man Alan not young but he has got the garden looking so cute and colourful , he only has one little hand fork !!! I think I can help with a hose but if anyone has odd weeding tools or any garden tools that he could use he would be over the moon. Also we would like to start an adopt a Grannie or Grandpa phone Sheila Gill on 242486 after 12 noon for details, then a friends of Jacarandah maybe youngish ladies or men just to visit and chat. I am sure they would love to see a few littlies to divert their attention from the boredom of just sitting waiting for the next meal. As you well know many of these dear old folk are in these homes through no fault of their own Anyone wishing to help in anyway PLEASE just contact either Sheila or myself I am involved with the kitchen, any ice cream containers, empty marg containers or basically anything for the kitchen would be greatly appreciated.

I have not known him long and we have become quite good friends, as he recently broke his leg and I get his newspaper each morning. We sit for up to an hour each day reminiscing on old times. Just the other day he told me that, while he was there he would quite frequently visit the Gwaai River Hotel to socialise. I found your website and saw the photographs of the remains of the Gwaai River Hotel and was quite shocked. I printed them off and took them in to my neigbour, but he was not really surprised to see them! As my neighbour is very wise and does not have a computer, he has asked me to find out a little more about what happened to the Hotel. Do you have any more information? Best regards, Charles Dobson.
