1) Editorial



The African Child

I was born, grew and flourished in a tawny golden bowl
Of Africa, among ramparts of tumbled granite rocks,
Where antelope passed in painted frieze
Under a pale, bleached sky, eagles floating;
A sky that turned torrid and flaming at day's end,
Then filled with pinpricks of glacial light
The Southern Cross spread constant across the sky,
As the world turned childhood slow in the indigo night.
I tumbled breathless, tear-streaked and dusty
From rough-coat, bony bongolo/donkeys,
Feet stuck with paper thorns, devil thorns,
Arms scratched and bare - never thought to wear shoes.
Africa tripped me over, thumped me, loved me,
Washed me in warm brown flowing rivers,
Sandbars rising, sinking, slow windmill
Turning, clanking , tangling my heart,
Caught for all time in the wait-a-bit thorns.
I will never be free, though the grey loerie
Calls 'Go 'way, go 'way', and I did.


LIZ DAVIES - MANILA

Edith Duly is Bulawayo's only private nursing home and is situated on our own land, within the Coronation Cottage Complex on Fife Street extension.

This year we celebrate 50 years of service to the community, to both men and women, elderly and no so old. Admittance to the Home is usually for persons over the age of 60 years, but we quite often make exceptions for younger persons with special needs - stoke and accident victims, diabetics with complications, epileptic sufferers etc.

We have a total of 63 beds available within varying accommodation options, being 4 to 6 bed wards, private en suite and private with communal ablutions. We also have a limited number of units suitable to elderly couples. Our care ranges from basic daily attendance to ensure correct administration of medications and personal hygiene and well being, to full on 24 hour frail care nursing assistance.

The global financial crisis has had an impact on most Homes in Zimbabwe and occupancy is lowered in general, but at Edith Duly we are happy to report that our numbers are currently at an acceptable 50 residents.

Those that are sufficiently mobile, are encouraged to partake of their meals in the dining room so as to enjoy fellowship with other residents and the lounge has satellite television reception. We are well supported by caring church groups and individuals who come regularly to give pastoral care and entertainment. Individual birthdays are remembered with a token gift given to each resident. Christmas is a very important date on the calendar and the Home is bedecked in festive splendour from early December. Christmas Day lunch is a wonderful treat for all.

Edith Duly is run by an Administrator and two Matrons and is overseen by a Board of Trustees. We have a vegetable garden and the grounds are spectacular - the gardens are much admired by all who visit. The kitchen and laundry units are well supervised and all daily requirements are carried out in-house. At Edith Duly, residents enjoy a well balanced diet with ample quantities of fresh vegetables and fruit and dessert is served twice a day! The fee structure includes board, lodging, laundry and nursing care and doctors visit regularly in a private as well as welfare capacity.

The Magalhães/Schumann Piano Duo is based at the Stellenbosch University. Luis Magalhães started playing the piano at the age of five and by the time he went to study piano at the University of North Texas in 1999 he was already a seasoned recitalist and solo-and chamber music performer. There he met his duo partner Nina Schumann where she had come to study with Vladimir Viardo after having met him at masterclasses in South Africa. The "TwoPianists" duo soon achieved international recognition and has given performances in the USA, Germany, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland and Japan as well as South Africa. The programme begins with a two-piano arrangement of Brahms' brilliant Paganini Variations and also includes two short suites by Arensky, a contemporary of Tchaikovsky. The first comprises a romance, waltz and polonaise whereas the second consists of five character sketches, respectively the scholar, coquette, buffoon, dreamer and dancer and both are brilliantly written for two pianos and full of delightful music. To end there are Lutoslawski's scintillating variations on the same Paganini theme used by Brahms and finally Leonard Bernstein's arrangement of Copland's "El Salón M xico", a tuneful. strongly rhythmic showpiece guaranteed to bring the house down! Booking at the Academy from Monday 9 November. Tickets are US$5.00/R40.00, free to members.

Tuesday 24 November, Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
The Lyric Piano Trio Haydn: Piano Trio No.39 in G major; Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No.2 in C minor, Op.66; Shostakovich: Piano Trio No.2 in E minor, Op.67 Peter Martens will be remembered for his cello recital in 2007 and he now returns as a member of the Lyric Trio. He is active as both solo and chamber music performer in South Africa and abroad as well as recording frequently with the SABC. Since the release of his CD "Cello Classics" he has been working on the double set CD of the Beethoven Cello Sonatas with Luis Magalhães. His wife Suzanne was leader of the UP Symphony Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra and whilst furthering her studies in Holland and Austria was a member of the Salzburger Musici Chamber Orchestra. She has held positions of leader of both the Pretoria and Cape Philharmonic Orchestras and was violin lecturer at Pretoria and Stellenbosch Universities.
The programme includes three marvelous trios. To begin with there is the most famous of Haydn's forty or more, the one ending with the sparkling Gypsy Rondo and this is followed by Mendelssohn's C minor Trio, one of his very finest works full of drama and good tunes. After the interval there is Shostakovich's E minor trio which will not be forgotten by anyone who heard it at the 2006 Festival where it made a powerful impact. Written during the Second World War, it is dedicated the to the memory of the man he called his dearest friend who died suddenly in early 1944 and it reflects both grief at the loss and memories of the past in music of extraordinary imagination and power. Absolutely not to be missed by anyone who cares about great music!
Booking at the Academy from Monday 9 November. Tickets are US$5.00/R40.00, free to members.

Thursday 26 November, Room 25 at 1.10 p.m.

Carriages: 11.00 p.m. "Der Rosenkavalier" is a bitter-sweet "comedy with music" (the librettist's own description) that is full of memorable waltz tunes and in the last act moves through broad farce to end with some of the most ravishingly lyrical music in all opera. Tickets: US$3.00/R25.00, free to members. Dinner will be available to order.

7A) GOSSIP COLUMN

You might just recall that I am a Daggaboy from Op. Noah days.There is a recent book which may be of interest. 'Kamchacha,' written by Brian Orford on the life of his late father Tommy Orford who started in the old Rhodesian Dept. of Wildlife and another true Daggaboy par excellence - a true conservationist. Worked on Op. Noah, developed Kyle and ran Wankie for some time. I worked with him in the Matusadonas for several months.
His son has written this book as a tribute to his father's life, 307 pages of wildlife experiences on and off duty. Anyone who may be interested in this wonderful biography can obtain details from Brian on email: bush@netconnect.co.zw

Secondly, I have just read in your current Mirror about the remarkable 100 year old Margaret Pattinson, (Mrs Ibby) born only a few miles away from where I sit, at Thornley, Near Wolsingham. There are still many Pattinsons around here in Weardale in Co. Durham. (I think one of the family almost certainly had a bicycle way back in those days! and there is a half humorous saying here that if you kick a Pattinson then at least three quarters of the village limps!) On behalf of all of them I would offer hearty congratulations on Margaret reaching her century.

Bob Truman

Just want to let you know how much I enjoy receiving the 'Mirror' from a Byo Convent friend who now lives in Tennessee!

I was born in Byo in 1950, left in 1955, but then returned for boarding school in 1963:-) Even worked at Mpilo hospital and stayed at Rhodes hostel. So, I have lots of memories.

Just love the optimism in the newsletter .. my husband was most thrilled to hear that the Byo orchestra was still going (he's not a Rhozim). I remember very many 'painful' nights as a young boarder having to go down to the City Hall, when all I wanted to do was go to sleep. Managed that a couple of times but those awful chairs rudely awakened you by tilting backwards:-)

Good luck! Regards
Susan Grave (nee Carden)

PROPERTIES FOR SALE:
AUSTRALIA - Property Prices Set to Soar

Property prices across Australia have jumped almost 6 percent this year and will continue to rise even in the country's most expensive suburbs, experts have said. The average Australian home has gained $28,194 in value since January this year and is now worth almost half a million dollars at $477,865, according to the RP Data-Rismark Home Value Index.

The Market is Heating Up - This is the Time to Invest

We had an excellent response to our last ad in the Morning Mirror, with a number of property investors wanting to invest in property in Australia. We are currently working with these investors from southern Africa on Joint Venture Projects whereby they put a deposit into one of our residential developments & we offer 20% returns on the amount invested. At the end of the development phase, the investor owns the property outright. Since the recession, banks have tightened up on lending making opening up new tracts of residential land difficult for developers. As a result, Wealth Acceleration Group began looking at additional ways to fund our projects. We believe that this Joint Venture Project offers investors an excellent strategy to get into property in Australia.
We intend making a trip to South Africa to meet with investors in JHB/DBN/CT to discuss all the details of the JV. Alternatively, investors are welcome to come to Australia, meet with us & look at the projects for themselves.
For more information contact: Karin Bailey Wealth Acceleration Group kb@wag-online.com.au www.wag-online.com

Is your son or daughter having difficulty with O or A Level Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry?

Do the A Level classes contain 30 students rather than 10? Classes this size do not allow for much individual help.

If so, I can coach your son or daughter in the above subjects, having had 35 years experience teaching these subjects. I take only one student at a time, which ensures that the student has individual attention and help.

Are you having problems with expensive inflexible payrolls? If so, I can develop an extremely reasonably priced tailor made payroll system for your business, mine, farm or institution. I also offer computer courses in MS Windows operating system, MS Word word processing, MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, MS Project Project Design, desk top publishing, AutoCAD computer aided design, MS Outlook Express e-mail, Internet browsing and search, Corel Draw, Corel PhotoPaint graphic design and digital photography.

20) TIDBITS


- He who would have no trouble in this world must not be born in it.

- Among the parables that Chinese teachers use is the story of a woman who lost an only son. She was grief-stricken out of all reason. She made her sorrow a wailing wall. Finally she went to a wise old philosopher. He said to her, "I will give you back your son if you will bring me some mustard seed. However, the seed must come from a home where there has never been any sorrow." Eagerly she started her search, and went from house to house. In every case she learned that a loved one had been lost. "How selfish I have been in my grief," she said, "sorrow is common to all."

- We were going through a great furniture factory, when our guide, the superintendent, pointed out to us a superbly grained and figured sideboard in the natural wood. "I want you to observe the beauty of this oak," he said. "It is the finest selected timber of its kind, and the secret of the intricate and beautiful graining is just this: that the trees from which it was taken grew in a spot where they were exposed to almost constant conflict with storms."

What a suggestive fact: The storm beaten tree develops the closest and finest and most intricately woven fibers. When it is cut down and the saws lay bare its exquisitely figured grain, the cabinetmaker selects it as the material for his finest work.

So with the human life beset by sorrows, tests and trials. If it stands the storm, how the wind of God strengthens and beautifies it! We need life's stress.
