1) Editorial

I always wanted to be the Fairy Godmother in the Pantomime.....

Imagine me, I would be absolutely perfect, Fairy Godmothers are supposed to be a little bit portly, ditzy and vacuous ?

I am sure I could find a suitably large tutu in the Bulawayo Theatre Club Costume department, or I could make one out of the remnants mosquito net I cut up for my ZESA Survival Kit. We still have good old "Robin" starch in Zimbabwe which would make it stiff and voluminous.

I was supremely jealous of Noreen Welsh when she was invited to be the Fairy Godmother in the Panto, she took over from Geoffrey Atkins do you remember him, or was he the the Grand Old Dame of the pantomime? My memory escapes me....

I see the Bulawayo Panto this year is called Snow White and the Seven Aliens what happened to the Traditionalists amongst us I ask you. Maybe our men in Bulawayo are too tall to be dwarves ?

I wonder if they need a Fairy God Mother? I was always sure Brian Meikle would invite me to the role, but he never did. Mind you Snow White features a Wicked Ugly Step Mother does it not ? That sounds even more like me than the Fairy Godmother does these days !!

The closest I ever got to theatrical fame, was when I was Wife Number Seven, in the "King and I" now that is seriously low in the theatrical wifely pecking order !!

I was at school at the time and our Headmistress Miss Powell was furious when I was required to tint my hair black. Mom always made my clothes and my costumes and she made me a most fetching boob tube style, lime green satin number, (I was curvaceous enough to wear satin in those days.)

We would practice endlessly to take tiny steps and hold our hands in a position of supplication. The King of Siam was Peter Lewis he was very yummy, and his leading lady was Marjorie Herd. The incredible Barbara Heulin was the Grand High Vizier or something similar and beautiful Heather Millar was Princess Tuptim, while Gus Rabinovich was Prince Thulalonkor (sp?)

Heather was worth cultivating without a doubt as her brother was Bruce Millar who was every girls heart throb in the sixties !!

Oh Panto was fabulous in those early halcyon days, I remember it first in the Large City Hall, the Hall was packed and the Mayor and Mayoress at the time would always sit in the balcony on the right as one faced the stage.

In fact if I remember correctly, it was only after my yearning to be Mayoress of Bulawayo was thwarted, that I desired to become Fairy God Mother in the Panto. The two roles would not have gone hand in glove to be sure to be sure.

I was never interested in the Chorus Line oh no no no, never, it had to be the Fairy Godmother and for some strange reason, no one has ever approached me. Probably because I would undoubtedly forget the words, but there is a Prompt is there not? I mean how many words does a Fairy Godmother have to say ? "Abracadabra" only probably, even I can remember that and if one forgot one's words, one could ad lib artfully with several "Abracadabras" until the Prompt came in to save the day ?

The role of the Principal Boy never appealed to me, remember when the Principal Boy was always a girl for some strange and unfathomable reason !!

I am sure my height would have been a disadvantage, and Principal Boys always had awesome long legs, although on the other hand my legs are not bad from the knee downwards. I suppose as Dick Whittington I could have worn platform knee high boots ?

Principal Girl - aaaah now thats another story, I would practice my scales in the shower every night in the hope that someone might hear. I could have been the most perfect Principal Girl, it was not Mrs Dawes fault that they always put me in the back row in the choir at Eveline School....

I would have thought that the Panto Talent Scouts might have noticed that I was, after all, Pandora, in Pandora's Box at Coghlan Junior School, and I was also one of the Three Kings in a nativity scene at Leander Avenue School. Do not underestimate my theatrical capabilities Mr Producer !!

Certainly my diverse and varied talents have gone unnoticed in the Bulawayo Community for all these many many years.

Ho Hum, thankfully at the moment the thought of six weeks of rehearsals culminating in the Gala Night for Island Hospice, at this years panto, seem very unlikely !

As an aside, look up the word ABRACADABRA in Wickipaedia, the history is really fascinating.

DR.ZHIVAGO
Thursday 1 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Supper will be available from 6.00 p.m. "A sumptuous, sprawling epic with stirring crowd scenes, gorgeous romantic vistas (set to Maurice Jarre's sweeping music) and a powerful exodus sequence on a train... top production values and superb acting in every role" (Leonard Maltin).

JANE EYRE

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
Friday 9 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. This favourite opera comes in a production from Glyndebourne chosen as the best of all available recorded versions. "It is a performance of distinction, wonderfully conducted by Bernard Haitink and with first-class principals...

Fine music, beautiful scenery and five Oscars..." Admission: $3.00 [free to Film Subscribers]

My name is Geoff Parbhoo and I am 74 years of age, a widower with a 15 year old daughter, who is at present attending the Dominican Convent High School.

I am appealing for financial assistance due to he heavy bill I have received from the Mater Dei Hospital, following my late wife's admissions to the ICU, and her subsequent moves to the surgery wards. She had an acute intestinal obstruction with complications. The benefits I have received from MASCA have been completely exhausted, and I am faced with an outstanding account of $16 416,48. The Hospital requires $1 631,15 immediately for the Blood Transfusions alone. I did approach the Bulawayo Help Network to see if they could offer me any help, and they kindly gave me $700,00 to be of some assistance.

My salary is a modest one i.e. $1 000,00 per month gross, and I have a home to run and a daughter to educate. My account number with the Mater Dei is: MD201101486:1. I hold a small account with the POSB No 206530002019. This debt is causing me no mean distress and sleepless nights, and any contribution to bring this figure down will be most gratefully received.

GV Parbhoo Telephone: 208822

AS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON APPROACHES, Betty Chiwambo is appealing for assistance to give her
GOOD HOPE ORPHAN CARE children

Re: African Reflections

Hi Gina, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, the thoughts that many of us across the globe have each day. I agree that there is no place like Africa - it is the Motherland and anyone who visits even for a short time is captivated by the continent. For those of us who were born there, it is who we are, our very essence. We are so very proud to have had the privilege of being brought up in such a wonderful place with such incredible people. And of course the bush and the wildlife are second to none. I also believe that someday I'll be back...

Enjoy your time in London.

10) Personal Column

We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will be worthwhile.

'The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.' - Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"

THE IDEAL BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS

This is a story about a paradise lost. . . . About an African dream that began with a murder . . . In 1978, in the final, bloodiest phase of the Rhodesian civil war, eleven-year-old Lauren St John moves with her family to Rainbow's End, a wild, beautiful farm and game reserve set on the banks of a slowflowing river. The house has been the scene of a horrific attack by guerrillas, and when Lauren's family settles there, a chain of events is set in motion that will change her life irrevocably.

Rainbow's End captures the overwhelming beauty and extraordinary danger of life in the African bush. Lauren's childhood reads like a girl's own adventure story. At the height of the war, Lauren rides through the wilderness on her horse, Morning Star, encountering lions, crocodiles, snakes, vicious ostriches, and mad cows. Many of the animals are pets, including Miss Piggy and Bacon and an elegant giraffe named Jenny. The constant threat of ruthless guerrillas prowling the land underscores everything, making each day more dangerous, vivid, and prized than the last.

The book is $20.00 and entire proceeds are being donated to Childrens' Charities in Bulawayo, under the auspices of Morning Mirror and the author Lauren St John. email magskriel@mac.com

MY LIFE AS A SMOKER

I BELIEVED FIGURATIVELY:-

1) I had no life without a cigarette.
2) My life depended on a cigarette.
3) I could not live without a cigarette.
4) A cigarette calmed me.
5) A cigarette relaxed me.
6) A cigarette brought me joy.
7) After every meal I had to have a cigarette.
8) After or before any drink I had to have a cigarette.
9) Drinking alcohol I lost count the number of cigarettes I smoked.
10) My whole life revolved around a cigarette.
11) I could always find money for cigarettes before all else.
12) Cigarettes were my life.
13) I lived, breathed ate cigarettes.
14) Cigarettes were an anchor in my life.
15) Cigarettes were what I looked forward to when I got up in the morning.
16) Cigarettes were what got me through the day.
17) Literally I would die without a cigarette.
18)Cigarettes kept my weight down.
19) A cigarette gave me confidence.....SO THE LIST WENT ON.
20) I just had to smoke I was hooked line and sinker!

When I decided to quit smoking and I discovered:-
It is not at all necessary to have a cigarette because it has none of the above benefits. It is a toxic, poisonous, non- beneficial, fatal, useless crutch, deadly, empty habit that should have no place in one's precious life because its possible horrific after effects are not worth a single puff!
