World Rhino Day: an Update from Dambari Wildlife Trust
World Rhino Day, 22 September, is on our doorstep and this year Zimbabwe looks set to mark this important day in style. In fact it should be called World Rhino Month as so many events are planned throughout September to celebrate the rhino and its importance to our country.

The National Rhino Day parade will this year be held in Bulawayo, on Saturday 21 September, after being showcased for the last two years in Harare.

The parade promises to provide an entertaining morning in the city with Twalumba (the life size rhino made from tin cans) leading the procession from town to Centenary Park where there will be singing, dancing, art displays and speeches from the Minister of Environment, Director of National Parks and local dignitaries. The parade will raise awareness of the plight of Zimbabwe's rhinos and reach many people who may not otherwise hear about rhino - a unique endangered species whose importance has been recognised both internationally and nationally, where it is a special part of our natural heritage and a popular tourist attraction.

Dambari Wildlife Trust is holding its second annual Rhino Day golf competition on Saturday 21st September at Bulawayo Golf Club. This year there will be a floating trophy in addition to the usual prizes and raffle. There will be some quirky approaches to the holes that will test the skill of the golfers. All proceeds will go to the work the Trust is doing for wildlife in the Matopos Hills. Further information is posted on our Facebook page and in this edition of Morning Mirror. Matopos Rhino Initiative Trust is, on Sunday 22 September, holding a fundraiser at the Sandy Spruit entrance to the Matopos National Park. There will be fun runs and rides as well as a spit roast. The Trust is aiming to raise funds for another 10 km of fencing for the Matopos Rhino Intensive Protection Zone which will clearly demarcate the area and assist Parks in protecting the rhino. Companies who sponsor a kilometre have the option to advertise their name and logo along the fence. The Midwest Rhinos Cricket team will, on the 28th and 29th, be holding their annual Wicked Cricket tournament in Kwekwe. The Rhinos, Kwekwe Sports Club and the Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy work together to raise local awareness of rhino issues through sports events.

Parks and Wildlife Management Authority in conjunction with Mukuvisi Woodlands, other wildlife NGOs and the Lowveld Conservancies are also planning World Rhino Day activities to mark the day in and around Harare, Masvingo and Chiredzi.

PAB AND THE ACADEMY

AFRICA Thursdays 8, 22, 29 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. This BBC series narrated by David Attenborough continues. The fourth programme visits the Cape (8 August) and the fifth features the Sahara (22 August). Admission: $2.00 [free to film members]

ELIZABETH I
Thursday 8 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
This is the second part of the series that explores the intersection of the private and public life of Elizabeth I (Mirren) in the latter half of her reign. Mirren's performance "is powerful enough to shatter your television screen, not to mention any notion you might have had that if you've seen one Elizabeth - Bette Davis, Glenda Jackson or Cate Blanchett, for example - you've seen them all. [San Francisco Chronicle] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

BRITTEN: GLORIANA
Friday 9 August Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
"Gloriana" was Britten's Coronation opera, first performed on 8 June 1953 and next heard in Bulawayo in August of that year as part of the Rhodes Centenary Festival. Like Roberto Devereux, it traces the downfall of the Earl of Essex who, presuming upon his privilege as the Queen's favourite, forces tragedy upon them both. With his strong sense of theatre, Britten vividly depicts the Queen's dilemma and combines scenes of great pageantry with moments of private reflection Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval

NANNERL: MOZART'S SISTER
Thursday 8 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
N.B. French film with English subtitles "Historically fascinating and musically enchanting, this dramatic amalgam of research and artistic licence takes us on the road with the Mozart family in the 1760s... Gilded authentic locations and restrained performances provide an effective setting for the theory that Nannerl's talent was stifled by conventions... The lovely speculative score makes Nannerl's embattled creativity sing out after all these years." [Time Out] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

MOZART: COSÌ FAN TUTTE
Friday 16 August Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
The plot of "Così fan tutte" revolves around a wager: the cynical Don Alfonso claims that a faithful woman is a mythical creature and when the two handsome soldiers object that their fiancees will always be faithful, he bets that they will be unable to resist the wooing of two strangers once the men are called off to war... Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the Interval

REPORT BACK
PUMPING LEGS FOR WATER 2013 HWANGE NATIONAL PARK 26 to 28 July

Pumping Legs for Water 2013 started off with several riders undertaking to ride from Bulawayo to Hwange the day before official proceedings. Congratulations to those who rode all the way either in their relay teams or individually and well done to their respective back up teams.

July in the park is one of the better times to visit. There are some natural pans still holding a bit of water, the pumped pans bumble along, the bush has died down some so viewing is easier, colours in the bush are stunning with the trees and bushes out in their winter coats, there is still sufficient browse and grazing, the landscape is not yet lunar-like, the animals don't yet have a desperate air about them and the sun rises and sun sets are unimpeded by dust and smoke from veld fires.

After registration of all the riders and the usual briefing on Thursday evening, the Waterbucks Head was soon abandoned as everyone took to their beds. However, all was not quite quiet as Colin, Adele and Gael, having finished their dinner, strolled over to their vehicle only to be confronted by an enormous ellie, who, having just shaken an erioloba tree with mighty force, showering Colin's vehicle with pods, proceeded to calmly vacuum up the pods quite unconcerned about the three humans wanting to escape! By six fifteen on the chilly Friday morning, Waterbucks Head was again beginning to bustle as riders and organisers started arriving for coffee or tea and their egg and bacon rolls. Being in charge of the half way watering points, we left the gate at six thirty and at Makwa watched as four daggaboys plodded into the pan for an early morning drink. Further along the way, near Kennedy One, we disturbed a cheetah on a kudu kill. The animal streaked away, closely pursued by a spotted hyena but when we went back to look at the kill, we could just make out a second cheetah slinking away in the bush on one side of the road while another spotted hyena was obviously waiting to dash in to rob the kill.

The Kennedy One water point was a welcome break for the riders who, unknowingly, still had a tough ride ahead of them. Unfortunately, since the reconnoiter team had driven the route, part of the road between Kennedy Two and Ngweshla had been recently graded so the riders had another sticky parch of sand to contend with, making it pretty tough and tiring going, particularly at the end of the day's ride. We believe the break at Ngweshla went well and some of the participants were lucky enough to see gemsbok amongst a small herd of sable. When we got back to Main Camp after being down to Guvelala there were several 'happy' folks enjoying their relaxing time. On Friday evening, most gathered back at Waterbucks Head to listen to Brent Staplekamp who is with the Lion Research team. He gave us a very informative and interesting talk on just a small part of what they are trying to achieve with the lion population in Hwange, mainly on how they are working with the communities on the boundaries and what they are doing to try and chase marauding lions back into the park.

Early Saturday morning was a ditto of Friday morning, with folks gathering again early for breakfast. We headed off as soon as the gates were open and the ride for that day was down to Guvelala and back with our water point at the platform before the turn around. As the second group of riders prepared for their start, they were temporarily delayed by a pack of wild dog chasing after a hapless kudu through the Main Camp lodge area! It was, apparently, quite spectacular as they watched the dogs racing up and down the fence trying to get at the young kudu that had jumped the fence. The third group of riders then actually witnessed the dogs take down the kudu just near the administration offices. All that was left was a bit of skull and four hooves which all disappeared overnight. What a lot of excitement! The only other 'kill' that was observed that day was a poor frog who's back leg was clamped firmly in the jaws of a variegated bush snake underneath the eaves of the Guvelala platform. Whether or not the snake won, we will never know as both creatures disappeared into the roof.

On Saturday evening everyone gathered for the prize giving and final speeches and to enjoy the braai that had been laid on by Waterbucks Head. Amongst other awards, a ride medal was presented to a delighted Lonely, the waiter. The story goes that a bicycle had been given to the Main Camp community after last year's event, on condition that one of the staff ride in this year's ride. Well, Lonely the waiter was the designated rider! The first day of the ride he'd actually ridden in his waiter's outfit of white shirt, black trousers and highly polished black shoes. Fortunately, by the second day, he'd been kitted out with a PLW T shirt and various other passed on bits of clothing more suited to bike riding. Lonely was on duty first thing each morning and was back waiting tables as soon as each day's ride was over - with a huge smile on his face! Well done, Lonely.

Well done, indeed, to all the riders who rode in the spirit of the ride and who raised the much needed funds. Some riders brought in significant sponsorship which is very much appreciated - thank you. Although the number of riders was down this year - 61 riders in all - we are hopeful that once again a significant amount has been raised for the water project. We anticipate another hard dry season and every dollar is precious. Of course, an event of this nature could not take place without all the wonderful sponsors, all of whom will be contacted individually but a HUGE thank you to you all. Thank yous go to the Parks staff and the staff and chef of Waterbucks Head as well and to all the support teams. A BIG and special thank you though must go to the main organisers - Adele, Colin, Mark and Colin. Well done you guys.

On Sunday morning several riders took the optional extra of a leisurely ride from Main Camp to Safari Lodge and back, while we set off down to Ngweshla for the morning. We came across a herd of about 700 buffalo in the vlei between K1 and K2 - quite a sight! At Ngweshla we saw plenty of animals - elephant, wildebeest, roan, giraffe, zebra, sable, hippo, kudu, impala and waterbuck. In the afternoon we had a quick visit to Caterpillar but apart from some elephant and a naughty tag team of baboon teenagers playing around on the corrugated iron roof of the pump attendant's hut, there was nothing else around. On Monday morning, before departing the park, we had a quick drive to Ngwenya pan and were lucky enough to come across a mother cheetah and her three grown cubs - these animals having been seen fairly regularly around the place. Beautiful animals. At Ngwenya we were visited by a stately old elephant and three, rather skittish kudu bulls before heading back to Main Camp and then home.

Grateful thanks to all who made this year's ride the success it was.

EXAMINATIONS - THE KEY TO PASSING EXAMINATIONS ADVANCE PROGRAMME - 2013

The above programme will be run during the AUGUST HOLIDAYS for students sitting for external O or A level Examinations in October/ November, 2013 in groups or individually. It builds on what teachers have done at Schools / Colleges and is aimed at helping students to:

Overcome obstacles normally faced in examinations Reinforce good personal study habits Deal with examination stress Organize study material and to draw up a study timetable Identify key facts about examinations and what examiners are looking for Make use of at least one useful study method (SQ3R) Utilize effective techniques in the examination room Use various techniques on how to answer different types of examination questions

(Research shows that more students fail to pass their examinations /get lower grades than expected because they often know their work and have studied hard, but just don't know how to tackle exams, have poor study and exam technique or are stressed out)
A student-friendly method of presentation is used - laptop, data projector (extensive graphics) and large screen with each student getting a bound booklet summarizing the key points with personal input that becomes an action plan. Lots of examples and exam tips are given.
Teachers and parents welcome. Special arrangements can be made for larger groups in Schools / Colleges on request

WINTER CLEARANCE SALE at THE ALLEY SHOP

We are making way for our summer stock. Prices on all knitted scarves & snoods now reduced by 15%. Prices on our mens, ladies and childrens slippers and ladies bedsocks now also reduced by 15%.

Treat yourself, or a loved one to the benefits of glycerine soap. We have three fragrant choices, ORANGE & SANDLEWOOD, LEMON & VANILLA or HONEY at only $1.50 per 100g bar. Get your skin summer ready!

Are you suffering from dry, itchy skin even though you are applying lotion everyday? The soap you buy at your local supermarket may be the cause of your never ending dry skin. 'Soap' as we know it is actually made of petroleum by-products and is in fact detergent which may have your skin tight, dry and itchy. Not only does regular bar soap contain lye and petroleum, they also contain drying alcohols.
Glycerine soap is the answer. Glycerine is a humectant, drawing moisture to your skin, allowing it to remain hydrated and soft. Beyond hydrating your skin, glycerine is also known to be a natural remedy for yeast and fungal infections, such as eczema and psoriasis. It is especially good for sensitive skins. Glycerin soap does not contain synthetic ingredients that will cause skin irritations. It keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy and soft. Treat yourself, or a loved one to the benefits of glycerine soap. We have three fragrant choices, ORANGE & SANDLEWOOD, LEMON & VANILLA or HONEY at only $1.50 per 100g bar. Get your skin summer ready! Gift vouchers and Wedding Gift Lists Available.
The Alley Shop (our entrance is through Farm Fresh, 122 Robert Mugabe Way)
