1) Editorial



LOTS OF HOT AIR !

The Kriel Girls have always been renowned for their courage.

SheHoo Must Run was after all a Zimbabwe Gymnast and a Matabeleland High Board Diver and SheHoo Must Sing happily tangles with Taliban and meanders around in Mogadishu.

It was Mother who was in the back row when bravery was being handed out and as much as a trip to the Masai Mara WAS in my bucket list, a hot air ballon ride was definitely not !!

However Mike and Lyndy Rogan persuaded us that this was indeed the most incredible way to cross the Mara and so I acquiesced although rather nervously.

It might have been the promise of a champagne breakfast amidst the wildebeest that prompted me to change my mind !!

Encouraged by the fact that the Balloon Captain was a Zimbabwean, our large and unruly safari crowd arose at 3.30 am to be at the Hot air balloon take off point before dawn. There were two vast flimsy looking silk balloons festooning the lawn and the crew appeared to be doing their best to set them on fire when we arrived.

The old knees turned to jelly instantly but HeeHoo took me by the scruff of the neck and firmly propelled me towards the giant basket right under a vast flaming pyre ! (Yes that was the word that came to mind!!)

The basket under each balloon was divided into four compartments each for four persons, but when HeeHoo, B tie, Stella and I tried to sit down, our not inconsiderable derrieres (with the exception of Stella) could not and would not possibly adopt the "Brace Position".

HeeHoo leapt out in an agile fashion and left me to sob weakly on B tie's ample chest.....

Once airborne however, the closer I got to the Angels, the more secure I became in my fiery inferno, and I stopped praying furiously and managed to peep over the side of the basket to enjoy the ride.

It was indeed a magnificent experience.

The Captain kept us enthralled with his obvious ability and competence and his eagle eye spotted lion instantly, as well as every other conceivable type of plains game and the Big Five of course !

Seeing the Wildebeest massing from this vantage point was indeed a moving experience, it painted Natures Big Picture for us on a fabulous Masai Mara canvas.

"Like wave formations on the sand" was one description, and there were indeed many kilometer long swathes of black beasts marching steadfastly towards the Mara River.

I had handed my rather fetching Panama Hat to the driver who followed us below with the safari vehicles and the balloon trailers, imagining that my hat would be blown off in the maelstrom. However there was no wind at all and the whole experience was one of a quiet dream, interrupted occasionally by a fiery blast from Captain Dante's inferno !

Here an hyaena pack, there a giraffe herd, lion, zebra, topi, gazelle, and of course the thousands upon thousands of wildebeest, but they did not notice the giant albatross above them unless we let out a blast of hot air which had them scattering instantly.

We were not the only floating apparatus in the sky. This is a most popular method of travel in the Mara and there were dozens of balloons of all colours, dotted like Montgolfien blimps across the vast exhilarating expanse that is the Mara.

We passed over the impressive champagne breakfast table set out with elegant gleaming white napery below us and we could almost see the champers glistening in the silver ice buckets.

The landing was the tricky part according to the experts and I had been having visions of B tie landing on top of me and breaking some of my fragile limbs. However I carefully and rather adroitly I thought, maneuvered Stella between us as a cushion.

The landing was orthodox, banal even, very slightly off course due to a mischievous last minute wind flurry, but Captan Riz was most comfortable and rather pleased with his impeccable touch down on Mother Earth.

Yes we lived to tell the tale, the remarkable tale, of the ancient almost mythical passage of a million or more beasts, who move hundreds of miles annually in their patient pilgrimage to greener pastures.

PAB AND THE ACADEMY

I CLAUDIUS Thursdays 22 & 29 September, 6, 13 & 20 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. - N.B. TIME!
I Claudius tells the Emperor Claudius' epic story spanning the years of the first Emperors, from the mighty Augustus (Brian Blessed), through the cunning and terror of Tiberius (George Baker) and the madness of Caligula (John Hurt) to the reign of Claudius himself (Derek Jacobi) and his licentious wife Messalina. It was an immensely popular BBC serial and 25 years later Brian Blessed said, "I just think it's the best series ever... for the whole standard by everybody and the teamwork, it's on its own. It's as near perfection as you can get."
Admission: $12.00 the series / $3.00 per session [free to film members]

MASSENET: MANON
Friday 23 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
'David McVicar's production takes an unusually harsh view of the story, too often softened by Rococo prettiness. Here, everything and everybody is for sale, and behind the fa ade of 18th-century Paris lurks a world of corruption, disease and perversions. It is thrilling, sometimes even slightly shocking, and throughout the direction of the cast is faultless: every scene bears re-viewing for the amount of detail and dramatic energy that is released. 'It is unlikely that Natalie Dessay will ever give a greater performance than this... Villaz n makes a passionate hero... The choreography reaches its heights in the elaborate hunting ballet.. I cannot imagine that we will see another Manon to equal this for a long time: highly recommended' [Gramophone, April 2008]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

SMETANA: THE BARTERED BRIDE
Friday 7 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
Every bar bubbles with the spirit of the Bohemian countryside in Otto Schenk's picturesque production from Vienna, where Smetana's comic masterpiece first conquered the hearts of music-lovers with its lilting melodies, lovable characters and rousing Czech dances. This colourful beautifully sung performance features legendary Czech soprano Lucia Popp and German tenor Siegfried Jerusalem before he took on roles such as Siegfried.. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND: ARUNDEL CHOIR
Saturday 8 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. N.B. TIME!
In Celebration of World Voices of Hospice of Day, Arundel Chapel Choir, following an acclaimed two week tour in London, presents a concert in aid of Bulawayo Island Hospice. This will be an evening of music both sacred and secular, classical and modern, choral, solos and piano, something for everyone! Booking at the Academy and at the door: $5.00 and $2.00 for students. All proceeds to Island Hospice. PAB subscriptions do not apply to this event.

BULLFROGS

May I please make a plea to your reading public to be on the lookout for frogs of all kinds this coming rainy season, which I hope will be a good one. As you are aware I am particularly interested in the Giant Bullfrogs, which now appear to be seriously threatened, but it is possible that all the frogs and toads are now under threat. May I appeal to all readers to contact me on Byo 258147 if they become aware of tadpoles and frogs, I will come out and inspect them, and if they are in a position of threat I will move them to a more suitable site.
My email address is robron@yoafrica.com .

APPEAL
72 year old Mr J is in desperate need of a hip replacement operation.
He lives in a retirement home in Bulawayo, has a small pension and still works part-time. Even selling his old car would not pay for the operation and would deprive him of much needed income. His family are unable to pay for this operation which is quoted at $9,910 of which medical aid will cover $4510 leaving a shortfall of $5,400.

Bulawayo Help Network alone is unable to raise this amount for one person and is appealing to your overstretched generosity for contributions. Mr J is in great pain and often feels he can no longer go on. Can you help us, help him?

For further information or to make contributions, please call BULAWAYO HELP NETWORK 130A Jason Moyo Street, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe or Tel: +263 - 9 - 67085 or email byohelp@netconnect.co.zw. With thanks as always.

THE SEAN LABUSCAGNE CANCER TRUST
2012 CANCER CALENDAR - Support, Celebrate & Remember
In early 2011, THE SEAN LABUSCAGNE CANCER TRUST was created. The fight against cancer is never a short one and the mandate of the Trust is primarily to ensure that Sean succeeds in his particular battle but it also aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of cancer within our community and to show support to other families affected by the disease.

The Sean Labuscagne Cancer Trust is embarking on a 2012 Cancer Calendar which hopes to put a face (or should we say 'faces') to this disease by asking cancer sufferers, survivors and even those who have passed away, to be featured in the calendar under the month that represents their particular fight. Eg September = Lymphoma & Leukemia, Thyroid, Gynecologic, Uterine/Endometrial, Ovarian, Prostate & Childhood Cancers

SUPPORT - highlight your own struggle to lend support to other people who are also fighting. CELEBRATE - give people hope by celebrating your victory. REMEMBER - Honour a friend or family member that lost the battle but who is not forgotten.

We plan to hold a photo-shoot in September for everyone who is able to attend but will also accept photographs from those of you who live far away as well as old photographs of loved ones who have passed away and are being commemorated.
We aim high and hope to have the calendar on sale throughout Zimbabwe as well as in Botswana, The UK, Australia ..... basically anywhere and everywhere that there are Zimbabweans who have been affected by cancer and wish to participate and support.
Should you be interested please send your details : Name, contact number, email, type of cancer and status to one of the following : Ceri - 0712 621 723 Lin - 0772 269 338 Janine - 0772 417 931 Kirsty - 0712 630 591 suburbs@netconnect.co.zw lin@bullredfarming.com mommydell@gmail.com kirstyfl@mweb.co.zw

THE DULY/FORD CENTENARY RUN TO GREAT ZIMBABWE

This was a very successful run comprising Vintage and Classic Cars from Bulawayo, Masvingo and Harare to Great Zimbabwe and return a journey of some 750km. It involved the Vintage & Classic Club of Matabeleland from Bulawayo and the Vintage & Classic Club of Zimbabwe from Harare and Masvingo. It took place over the weekend of 2nd to 5th September, and the vehicles left from Duly's Showrooms in Bulawayo and Harare at 8.30 am with much fanfare and arrived that afternoon at Great Zimbabwe amidst even greater fanfare! The Bulawayo contingent was flagged away by the Mayor of Bulawayo and the Harare contingent was flagged off by the Minister of Transport, the Hon. Nicholas Goche, where Dr Timothy Stamps and a large contingent of representative of the media were in attendance. ZBC did not attend, notwithstanding having accepted the invitation to cover the event. All entrants were greeted and given a Civic Reception in Masvingo by the Deputy Mayor of Masvingo, Cllr Valentine. Well done Masvingo, for the most magnificent and warm welcome.

A superb formal Gala Dinner was held on the Saturday evening, with excellent entertainment being provided by a group of dancers/singers from Dete, who were very well received. On Sunday morning we had a photo-shoot of vehicles. Unfortunately it was not possible to enter the Great Zimbabwe Main Enclosure,as national museums wanted the charge us 500 U.S$ just to have the cars photographed,but our photographer assured us that he would be able to superimpose the photos onto a background of the Monument. Later in the day, a most convivial braai was enjoyed at Norma Jeane's Resort. A film crew was present throughout the weekend, and a DVD is presently being produced to commemorate the run.

No run of this nature is without its mishaps. From the Harare side Rob Fynn, Basil Barnes and Arky Kassim experienced last-minute pre-run problems, which meant that these cars did not start the run. Arky Kassim started the run in his Chevrolet, which subsequently seized on the outward leg, next casualty was fuel starvation in the Golding's Jaguar MkII which arrived at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel on tow behind the Duly's back up vehicle and seized engine in Mike O'Leary's Ford Zephyr Zodiac MkI about a kilometre from the hotel. The Bulawayo cars also had our share of mishaps.John Apps in his 1928 model A. "thatch express"(this car has a grass thatch roof) suffered from fuel starvation which we managed to fix, going on to complete the entire trip. Next was a conrod through the block of Brian Louth's 1928 Ford Model A, which arrived in Masvingo being towed. Dave Liddel had a blown cylinder head gasket but managed to make it to Masvingo under his own "steam" and then was trailed back to Bulawayo. Allan Howard was also towed in his 1930 Model A as his clutch packed up on the return journey.Andy Parker was also towed in with fuel pump problems . Much mechanical 'fixing' as could be done in the car park of the hotel was done during the weekend, with everyone joining in to either fix, give an opinion, to supervise or to commiserate.

The Automobile Association in Harare and Bulawayo did a marvelous job of back-up and, where necessary, rescue, at very little cost to either club.

Apart from the fantastic sponsorship received from Duly & Co, items given to each driver and for inclusion in the goody-bags included a commemorative car badge, a fire extinguisher (SAZ approved) from Barons Motor Spares, 5lt Castrol SAE40 oil, a VCCM commemorative shirt embroidered with various sponsors' logos donated by Tigerbrake, a hand towel embroidered with the Duly logo from Merlin, Caps from Tregers, Battery Water from Victor Onions, biscuits and sweets from Arenel, rice from Probrands, and various chocolates, chips and a key ring from Ballantyne Spar, various goodies from Lorna Beckley. A glossy magazine was produced with photographs and details of all the participating vehicles, copies of which are on sale for 5$ each from R&R Transport 129 Jason Moyo st Bulawayo,Between 13th and 14th ave.
This run marked an historic milestone in the history of Zimbabwean Vintage and Classic motoring, and was enjoyed by all who participated.

9) Gossip Column

HELP REQUIRED

Can any one let us have some background information on Mabukuwene in Burnside. The National Trust of Zimbabwe (the owner) is wanting to revive this park for the enjoyment of Bulawayo residents. However we need to know more about the history of the place, the origin of the structures and any little tidbits that will be included in our project profile and ultimately in a small historical display to be erected there. Who is operating the place? The Trust has no idea any more.

Any comments much appreciated.

20) Lifts Wanted And Offered



21) Seeking Friends

I was wondering if I could put an advert in your newspaper as I am looking for my biological parents.

I was born at Lady Rodwell in Bulawayo on 29 December 1977, I am female and stayed in St Clares home for unwanted mothers till I was adopted at 10 days old. I am looking for my biological mother. Herewith my email address: sammi.Howard@googlemail.com

Many thanks Sam Howard Samantha Howard sammi.howard@googlemail.com



I write to ask your advice. I am doing some research and need to trace a guy from Bulawayo who served in the Second World War. His name was John Cornwall, a sergeant and he served in the South African Artillery. He had an interesting war and was caught having parachuted into Yugoslavia, taken eventually to Colditz.

Can you ask around to see if there are any Cornwalls still in Bulawayo? Or any veterans groups like the local Bulawayo branch of MOTH that might have knowledge of him. He survived the war but will be long dead now, (Date of birth 1/5/1905). It would be great to find any surviving descendants.

EXAMINATIONS - November, 2011 - TO ALL PARENTS / TEACHERS
If your child is writing O or A Level examinations in November, 2011 the chances are that you are both nervous, anxious and stressed out, with so much to do and so little time. After two years of study on a course he/she cannot afford to fail! There are approximately eight weeks to go. Help is still available for students, in group sessions or individually on, The Key to passing Examinations'. Research shows that more students fail to pass or get lower grades, not because they don't know their work, but just don't know how to tackle exams.
Key areas covered: (to augment what subject teachers have done at school level) Facts about examinations that students need to know and what examiners look for when they mark (how to avoid things that usually go wrong for students) Good study habits - bearing in mind repeated concerns raised by examiners How we learn and remember things - memory triggers Study time table and various methods of study (including the SQ3R method) The learning curve and revision The secret to tackling examination questions Optimal learning - how to strive for it Hints for parents with children writing examinations Programme involves use of laptop and power point presentation with colour slides (over 100) and practical examples. Students complete a 'Personal Action Plan' that becomes their guide.

33) TIDBITS


IF we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger.
- Buzz Aldrin -


That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.
- Denis Waitley -


A young man sprinkling his lawn and bushes with pesticides wanted to check the contents of the barrel to see how much pesticide remained in it. He raised the cover and lit his lighter; the vapors inflamed and engulfed him. He jumped from his truck, screaming. His neighbor came out of her house yelling: "bring me some eggs!" She broke them, separating the whites from the yolks. The neighbor woman helped her to apply the whites on the young man's face. When the ambulance arrived and when the EMTs saw the young man, they asked who had done this. Everyone pointed to the lady in charge. They congratulated her and said: "You have saved his face." By the end of the summer, the young man brought the lady a bouquet of roses to thank her. His face was like a baby's skin.

Healing Miracle for burns:

Keep in mind this treatment of burns which is included in teaching beginner firefighters this method. First aid consists to spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced and stops burning the layers of skin. Then, spread egg whites on the affected are.
One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg white from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer.
She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.
This information could be helpful to everyone: Please pass it on.
