We folk from the Third World are not in the least bit daunted by Gypo Gut. We just take it for granted that our water is dodgy and take the necessary precautions, boiling, filtering , drinking wine instead of water etc. etc. And when one does get a 24 hour bug, one succumbs graciously (?) and hopes that one might shed at least a kilo or two if one is going to suffer the indignities heretofor !! However a recent trip to the Zambesi laid me lower than low, and I probably would still be dragging myself around mournfully had it not been that we were two weeks later, found visiting She Who Must Sing who lives in the First World. HEEHOO was well brought up by his Three Girls, and over the years knows that when Mum and daughters needs the loo, it is something that requires immediate attention, (especially during Gypo Gut Time.) Heehoo, as a matter of course, on entering any establishment, will do one of those three sixties he used to do during his time in the army, and case the joint immediately for the "Ladies Room" sign. But BABY SHEEHOO has a most scary and imperious manner which she no doubt inherited from HEEHOO, and one look from her propelled me to visit a First World Family Medical Practice. Now, not only was this beautiful child , a doctor, she was also young enough to be my daughter..... and as we well know, all of us Baby Boomers who are left in Bulawayo probably still have, as our MDs, the same doctors who delivered us!!! Mature Men indeed, with many hundreds of years of medical experience, Doctors with extensive pedigrees like Bernie Tatz and Peter Pretorius are still going strong in Bulawayo !! As I said earlier, Gypo Gut in Zimbabwe is just not taken to a doctor, what would he be able to do for goodness sake ? Except to throw one a free sample of Immodium and tell you to "get on with it !!" And so when this Sweet Child tenderly prodded and pushed at my abdomen for the required length of time and then sent me off with a giant package of goodies, ordering me to produce four "samples" of whatever it was that was annoying me, I became understandably nervous !! Imagine, just imagine, an innocent Texas laboratory technician coming across something that was "made in Zimbabwe" under his microsope !! Horrors, there would be men in Hazmat Suits, and heavy radio active boots, just like those ones you see on Mars, crawling across the lawn outside SheeHoo"s apartment. I can just see those smug men from Hazwoper (Hazardous Waste Operations) dragging me away, kicking and screaming to six weeks isolation in the Centre for Tropical Diseases. The whole of Waco would be closed down and "Ebola" signs would be fastened everywhere !! Oh no, I am keeping my germs to myself. I have spent years building up this amazing Immune System of mine. I have consumed many many glasses of suspect water from Ncema Dam, partaken of many dodgy packets of sausages that have been frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed as the electricity has been turned off and on in the hapless shops !! No one is going to have sight of anything that might be "Made in Zimbabwe" without my putting up a good fight first !! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PETRA HIGH SCHOOL YEAR END CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!!!!

The acting was superb, hair and costumes stunning, props brilliant and backstage and production of an impressive standard! Well worth attending for a wonderful evening of entertainment. Anonymous ++++++++ Whitestone School was first opened as a primary school for boys in 1942. It closed in 1976 but was reopened in 1982, this time as a co-ed primary school. Throughout its history, the positive and vibrant spirit of the school has lived on, maybe more so now than ever and because of this it has been decided that we need to celebrate the 65/25 Anniversary in style. Besides holding Anniversary celebration events, we would very much like to hear from as many Old Whitestonians as possible. We want to find out about interesting events that may have occurred during your time at the school, we want to compile lists of your names and contact details, dates you were at the school and where and what you are doing now. If you are an Old Whitestonian, please write to us at whitesto@mweb.co.zw and tell us about yourself. Someone on the Anniversary committee will reply to your email and give you details on Anniversary celebration events, current activities at the school and we will try to answer any other queries you may have in relation to the school and it’s pupils. Do you know of any Old Whitestonians world wide? Please forward this letter to them. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

MORE CONCERTS On Wednesday, 29 November at 5.30, there will be a show from LIYANA, originally known as the KGVI Band. Their music is Afro-fusion, blending traditional and more conventional instruments. The band members specialise in marimbas, drums, shakers, keyboard and piano and the songs they play are also of mixed origin, being both local and international. In April this year the band entered and won the Music Crossroads inter-regional festival in Mozambique, and it has recently returned from a tour of Sweden, Netherlands and Belgium where I'm told they had people up and dancing at their 30 or more shows! More details of the band and its achievements can be found in the attachment to this newsletter.

Muleya: 68078 FOR THE FULL NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REPORT E MAIL magskriel@mac.com +++++++++++ Your latest edition of Morning Mirror....mentions two names that are very familiar to me and mean so much to my personal history: Gerry and Cheryl Oostuizen. Let me tell you the story. Many years ago Gerry hired me to play at a function held at his home in Bulawayo...I think it was his daughter's birthday party...21st. It was a great party and I met so many lovely people. In those days I used to play two little keyboards, one above the other....looking back, they were more like toys that instruments. I had fun with them and although I am not much of a musician, enjoyed the singing more and can read music. About two weeks after the party, Gerry called me to say that he had bought himself a keyboard...would I come around and show him how to use it. I went over and boy! what a keyboard....a 'rolls Royce's compared with what I was using. To cut a very long story short.....they ended up GIVING me the keyboard. This extremely generous gesture was the reason I continued with my music/singing. About five years later I was playing for the old folks at a home in Harare. There was a man there, with a younger lady...they seemed very familiar to me, but I couldn't place them. At the end of the session, this lady came over and I was thrilled to discover it was Cheryl's sister....and father. It was so heart warming to know that the keyboard Gerry gave was again being used to entertain members of their family once. I wonder if Gerry and Cheryl realise just how much they changed my life the day they gave me the keyboard. They are very special people. Love and sunshine, Heather Clark +++++++ MICHAEL CONDON FROM CLEARWATER FLORIDA WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO THE VERY KIND GENTLEMAN WHO SENT HIM RHODESIAN MEMORABILIA AT NO CHARGE !!

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WOULD CONSIDER PERPETUATING THE COLUMN WITH OTHER FOCAL POINTS OF INTEREST LIKE THE BON JOURNEE DURING THE DAYS OF THE STOVIES AND ELECTRIC COLOURED SOCKS, WHERE WE PLAYED THE JUKE BOXES, WHEN WE GATHERED TO SEE THE LATEST ELVIS OR CLIFF RICHARD MOVIE. HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE JUST TO SAY HOW SAD IT IS TO DRIVE PAST MILTON SCHOOL TODAY AND SEE THE STATE OF THE ONCE FINE RUGBY AND CRICKET FIELDS. I WAS AT MILTON IN THE FIFTIES WHEN POP DOWNING WAS HEADMASTER AND PUTT JACKSON WAS HIS DEPUTY. WHAT A FINE SCHOOL IT WAS WITH SO MUCH TRADITION. EACH MORNING THE HEAD WOULD ATTEND ASSEMBLY IN HIS VARSITY GOWN FOLLOWED BY THE HEAD BOY WHO CARRIED AND READ FROM THIS HUGE BIBLE. MR QUIRK OFTEN PLAYED HIS VIOLIN DURING THE SINGING OF THE HYMNS. THE SCHOOL HYMN WAS 'HE WHO WOULD VALIANT BE, FOLLOW THE MASTER" ETC ETC AND WE ALL STOOD AT ATTENTION WHEN WE SANG IT. IT WAS SO EXCITING TO REPRESENT THE SCHOOL AT VARIOUS SPORTS AND MOST FRIDAYS WE WERE ON THE STATION IN BLAZERS, SCARVES AND STRAW BOATER'S ON OUR WAY TO PLAY CHAPLIN OR GUINEA FOWL IN GWELO OR PRINCE EDWARD OR CHURCHILL IN SALISBURY - WE EVEN TRAVELLED BY TRAIN TO PLUMTREE. SOME OF THE MOST RENOWNED MASTERS WERE "GUF GUF" GIFFORD (GIFFORD TECH WAS LATER NAMED AFTER HIM), SAMMY SPIERS THE SCIENCE MASTER, "BOK" JONES WHO TAUGHT HISTORY, AND OUR P.T. AND SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR WAS MR WATT (A RHODESIAN DIVER) WHO DIED ONLY LAST YEAR IN HIS LATE NINETIES. THE LATIN TEACHER WAS MR HAMBLY. OUR SISTER SCHOOL WAS TOWNSHEND WHICH WAS A RELATIVELY NEW SCHOOL, AND WE REALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO DANCES IN THE DINING HALL WHEN THE GIRLS WERE BUSSED OVER FROM TOWNSHEND. WE PRODUCED SO MANY NATIONAL CRICKET AND RUGBY PLAYERS AND GREAT SPORTSMEN IN OTHER DISCIPLINES, BUT HOW SAD THAT TODAY GIVEN THE TOTAL DETERIORATION OF THE FACILITIES THAT THIS IS UNLIKELY TO BE EVER REPEATED. ONE ONLY HAS TO LOOK AT THE RUGBY FIELD, SQUASH COURT IN TATTERS AND THE COW PATCH THAT WAS ONCE A FINE CRICKET PITCH TO REALISE NO NATIONAL PLAYERS WILL BE NURTURED HERE.

He outlived his wife Molly Harper by a number years. I used to run up to the country club in Kariba every Sunday morning for years and get the Sunday paper for him and go deliver it to his house in exchange most of the time for a chocolate. I used to thoroughly enjoy serving the old man (he must have been in his 60’s - 70’s then) in this way and for some or other reason I have not been able to stop thinking of the old man recently, probably for the last six months or so. I am on a mission to try and find out what has happened to Peter Harper and if he is still amongst us. Should Peter not be with us any more, it will be very sad. I am looking for closure on my thoughts and if God has spared the old man I would really like to make contact with him again.

I worked in the then Rhodesia for Standard Bank and in fact my first posting following a transfer from Nyasaland was as a Teller at Avondale Branch which had a close connection to the George Hotel. I also remember most of the names mentioned and in fact a young lady from Chisipite broke my young heart her maiden name was Barbara Flint but I have no idea what her married name is but I hope she is not a struggling housewife. I was transferred to Zambia and crossed the border on UDI day 11th November,1965 with much heartache, a three week old baby a young wife and lots of fear as to what the future would bring. With a South African Passport and the UDI situation I was only allocated a temporary work permit and spent the next 5 years being deported but with pressure from the Bank my permit was renewed each year until 1970 when I was transferred to South Africa where I joined the Bank. That little 1965 baby is now 41 years old and is married to an ex-Rhodesian/Zimbawean by the name of Andrew Jackson and their circle of friends are in essence of the same origin and I must say what a wonderful bunch of Guys and Girls although they would require all those watering holes you mention to satisfy their thirst It is with great with nostalgia that I look back at those old.days but sad indeed at what has happened when you read of the hardships that families have to suffer. Perhaps that crossing of the Chirundu border on that fateful day with all the uncertainty and heartache was a blessing in disguise and please God may that also be the case for the future of your wonderful country and the people who as my friend says are political and financial prisoners of Zimbabwe.

Stone +++++++ A serious note about heart attacks Precautions is better than cure............ Hi Friends, Drinking Cold water after meal = Cancer! For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacted with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE": (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive... A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this... It could save your life !! Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home . Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself. "HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE": Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigourously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives !! " ++++++++++++++++ 'Never give up !
