2) Notices and Event OUR FRIENDS THE BABOONS For many years the timber industry has been plagued by baboons destroying young saplings. Figures have ranged from 40 - 60% damage in new plantations. Many methods of deterring the baboons have been looked at and some tried - ranging from shooting them to poisoning them. They are very hard to kill en masse as they are so intelligent and learn from each bad experience. But as with all of our wild animals, the unrelenting reduction of habitat (and therefore food) and unceasing increase in human demand and control of land steadily decreases the food choices of wild life. The one idea that seems never to have been explored is to bring a baboon expert in to a plantation area and look at what is actually still there for them to eat and at which time foods are plentiful and try to ensure that the plantation saplings go through their vulnerable time at the time when the natural food sources of baboons are at their most abundant. An expert on baboons may well have many useful ideas as to how a truce could be struck and financial losses hugely reduced whilst still allowing baboons (and other wild life) to survive. Instead much money and effort has been spent on deciding on killing methods. Baboons have been caged and experimented on with various poisons - I do not want to describe the terrible suffering inflicted - it is too appalling to tell you. Anyway a recent moratorium on poisoning was lifted and the Timber federation has now got permission to resume this horrendous practice. In Chimanimani you can see small black signs saying POISON in various areas. The signs were put up after a some villagers were poisoned and died when they stole maize from one of the poisoning stations in a timber plantation here. Biodiversity is key to the health of our world and in Africa the baboon has evolved as an important agent for germination and seed dispersal of indigenous plants. The need for jobs and industry has driven us to install alien monocultures in large areas of once healthy, diverse and indigenous vegetation - the baboon is just one in a very, very long and increasing list of flora and fauna that has required to be sacrificed in the name of jobs, industry and human development. The tenacity of the baboon is not endless. One need only travel to KZN and see their timber plantations - sterile and absolutely clean of baboons and almost every other form of indigenous flora and fauna. Now the problem is controlling the spread of alien species.....the show goes on, without the baboon. I simply ask "Does it really have to be this way?" Please can anyone help with advice and assistance on how to help our Friends the Baboons ? email duvetdown@yahoo.com EVENTS Entertainment Section IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT BULAWAYO COUNTRY CLUB THIS:- FRIDAY 5 AUGUST SOCIAL EVENING & DARTS MUSIC BY GEORGE BOSWELL FOOD BY MARION ORGANISE YOUR TEAM OF TWO FOR DARTS OR DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WHILE ENJOYING THE SELECTION OF WINTER WARMING MEALS.

At BMAA we aim to address and educate women to deal with a wide range of dangerous scenarios that allow them to dispatch direct threat and protect third parties (Children). *BE SAFE *BE COMPETENT *BE STREETWISE THURSDAY'S FORUM 1200 Great response this week, thanks to those who took the time. The topics covered were; Drugs in sport, Pre fight prep, and the ever important Warming up and down prior to training. School coaches; " if the shoe fits!" it was quite shocking to hear about the lack of time taken to do this before and after matches. How do you make sporting events compulsory and leave the care of your athletes to themselves? This is nothing short of neglect and laziness, warming up and down is as important as any "set piece", and the words "we didn't have time" and "we don't get time" is not an excuse, it's poor planning. For more details on all of BMAA's activities, call Leaf on 09 246887 after 1930 or 0774096081 during the day. or come for coffee at the Thursday open forum 1200. BMAA IS A STEROID FREE ZONE.

Directed by David Lean, the film won seven Oscars including best picture, best actor (Guinness), best screenplay and best musical score (Malcolm Arnold). Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING Thursday 11 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Sean Connery and Michael Caine star as two British sergeants in this adaptation of Kipling's story. The Indian Empire was built on men like these and now they're out to build an empire of their own, venturing into remote Kafiristan to become rich as kings. Packed with spectacle, humour, excitement and bold twists of fate, John Huston's film has earned a reputation as one of the screen's great adventures, and Michael Caine called it "the only film I've done that will last after I've gone". Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] MASSENET: MANON - BALLET Friday 12 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. The love story of Manon Lescaut and the Chevalier des Grieux is a lyric tragedy of innocence corrupted in the pleasure- seeking world of Paris in the early 18th century. The several pas de deux are among the highlights of Manon, and in them Kenneth Macmillan charts the downfall of the lovers, danced by Jennifer Penney and Anthony Dowell, from the first impassioned effusions of feeling to the desperate intensity of the third act when Manon's emotions burn high as the lovers face disaster. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO.5 / RICHARD STRAUSS: ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA Wednesday 17 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Mahler's Fifth (conducted by Leonard Bernstein) moves from an opening funeral march to the boundless joy of its finale and was dedicated by Mahler "to my dear Alma", whom he married whilst writing the symphony. Also Sprach Zarathustra (conducted by Herbert von Karajan) is perhaps Strauss's most famous symphonic poem with its opening sequence used in 2001: A Space Odyssey, but there's much more marvelous music after that spectacular opening! Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THE CONCERT [Russian film with subtitles] Thursday 18 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Thirty years ago Andrei Filipov was the celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra but, at the height of his fame, he was fired by the communist authorities and demoted to the position of a cleaner at the theatre. When he learns by chance that the Bolshoi Orchestra will be invited to perform in Paris, he intercepts the invitation and plans to reunite his old orchestra to take their place to perform with Anne-Marie Jacquet, a young virtuoso violinist with a mysterious past... "The most uplifting film you'll see all year" (David Edwards, Daily Mirror). "A mixture of heart and humour, it strikes a sweet -sounding high note" (Love Film). Admission: $3.00 00 [free to Film Members] DAVID COHEN (CLARINET), ROBIN COHEN (PIANO) Tuesday 23 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m. - followed by dinner available to order in advance David and Robert Cohen are brothers from Cape Town. David is currently the co-principal clarinet in the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra in Durban, and besides his orchestral duties is also active in chamber music and as a solo artist.

Dad, you always used a straight bat, and you taught us to do the same and we endeavour to do that despite the way the world has changed. I know that during your fine innings you handled a few bouncers and took a few bruises from the quicks for the good of the team. The crafty spinners you taught,.....must be respected and we are to use our feet to negate their spin. Another fine lesson. As was your lesson when out in the field, throw yourself into everything and give everything you have, plus a little extra, for your team and those around you........and lastly for personal satisfaction or glory. We know in the latter part of your innings when the pitch was breaking up and the light was fading you struggled on for the team, a fine example from our Captain! We have had a wonderful teacher, mentor, friend, Dad and Gramps in you. As you live on in our hearts we will be constantly reminded of those lessons, your kindness and generosity. We will all miss your voice and sense of humour. We are so honoured to be your children. There are many people who loved and respected your management style and skills, the way you could be objective and always fair. They too will feel our loss. Dad we know you are in a better place now, safe in The Lord's care,.......... no more pain. I am sure He has reserved for you a place where you will be sought after for your advice regarding cattle and asked to coach and watch the sports you loved so much. Our thoughts are especially with Mum, Yvonne and Dawn With much sadness East, Glynis, Gareth, Kieran, Lynley, Donavon, Neville, Ryan, Dean, Caroline, Sherri-Lyn & Barry "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

You can either have them as just straight pictures or I can make a DVD movie out of them all with special effects and great music to match the mood of the photo's. It's always good to reminisce with everyone together in your lounge watching the old slide photo's on TV without having to lift a finger, just let the DVD play with great music in the background. Please get those boxes of slide photo's out and let me put it all together for you. Wouldn't that be great...:)???

Hillside. Tel 247929 (Hillside) Bulawayo Cell (Pembroke) WRIGHTS NURSERY NEWS LETTER: No 2 / JULY 2011 ROSE PRUNING NEWS LETTER I have had a lot of questions about rose pruning this month and I thought I would do a second News Letter to help clear up a number of queries. Timing This weekend's cold snap is a classic example of why one should not prune too early. Pruning stimulates the rose to produce its new shoots. If you prune in say June you will find that you will invariably have long and soft new shoots on the bush. The cold, especially with a wind chill, will burn these soft shoots and the rose will have to now draw on its much depleted root reserves to produce the next lot of new shoots. Be patient and wait until the end of July or the first week of August. I normally find that once we get past the August holiday we are typically past the frost season. Lime Sulphur Lime sulphur is a very strong insecticide and fungicide. It will also burn off any green shoots. Ideally your rose bush should be dormant when you spray or only have old growth on it. If you have too much new growth that you do not want to sacrifice you can opt for Metasystox or Dimethoate to kill off any scale. Tree Sealer I have not seen any in the shops this year. An alternative is to apply a PVA paint with a little Carbaryl mixed in. (A table spoon per 100 mls will be fine). Don't worry too much about the thin branches ie match stick + just do the thick stems. Initial Feeding Make sure that the surface feeding roots are not disturbed at all. Do not rake soil from next to the rose stem outwards to make up the basin. Apply one or two handfuls of SSP to the soil around the rose. Then apply at least one handful of Rose fertilizer and then water both in with a deep soaking. Cover the whole basin with a good mulch or compost. Your next feeding will be in early October. Watering As the weather warms so you will see the new shoots start to grow faster and faster. You will need to water every week with a deep soaking and as the weather warms so you will probably need a 2nd watering each week. Wrights at TM Zonk iZizwe We will be opening a new Nursery site in front of the TM from 1 September. You will see work in progress from next week. The new TM site will have much more space and will allow for a much larger selection of plants and other garden related new products. We will be closing at Hillside Hardware by the end of August but Pembroke will be upgraded to take care the customers who are not in the Zonk catchment. August News Letter. This will be out as usual next week. I have noticed that a number of addressee's from Junes News Letter were returned, especially the yoAfrica group. If you did not receive June just let me know.
