In this edition


1) Editorial

Remember Radio Matopos?

On a recent visit to an audiologist, I decided that being a disc jockey on Radio Matopos many years ago, might have been a part cause for my growing deafness.

Ah, but those were the days, I would not have done without them.

Radio Matopos in Bulawayo and Radio Jacaranda in Harare, what fun we used to have. The late Jimmy Robinson was in charge of ZBC Bulawayo and what a stickler he was for punctuality. One would present oneself for a shift thirty minutes before going on air and woe betide you if you dared to be a minute late!!

We used to run rings around the poor long suffering engineers, delicately dropping tiny globules of water on the long playing records to stop the scratching noises, eating in the studios, and even one new years eve, having a tiny tipple in the studio at midnight!!

What would you do if you were locked, on your own, into a tiny booth for four hours on end? Adjust the headphones, turn up the volume, sing along to the tunes, and enjoy the freedom of being a disc jockey in a sound proof booth......

Mind you, they kept a tight rein on us those gals who did the song schedules. We were not allowed to play our own choice in music; we had to adhere to a strict schedule of the antiquated selection of Long Playing Records in the record library, taped programs and adverts!! The commercials were presented on those ancient old 8 track cassettes and that cassette machine had an obdurate mind all of it's own!!

Very seldom would we dare vary from our protocols, (except to cut short Gloria Gaynor's seven minute long screeching soliloquy 'I will survive'!!!!)

In those 'good old days' we even had restricted songs that we were warned never to play. Heinous, terrible, damaging songs like Simon and Garfunkel's beautiful piece 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' which was alleged to refer to the vagaries of a drug addict. Imagine what those poor folk in the censorship department would say about some of today's hideous modern songs??

The station ran from 5 pm till midnight during the week and all day during the weekends. We were given a roster for weekday and weekend shifts and could make a tidy sum of pocket money if we cracked a couple of long weekend shifts!

There was a very strict regime in the studio, we had to follow a log very carefully. Woe betide us if we missed playing a commercial or if we dared to play a song that was not allocated by the girls in the 'record library'.

They were tartars too those gals in the offices, how well I remember earning the wrath of Delvine Allen or Jill Esof if I blotted my copybook with them. The fiercest gal in the recording studio was Cheryl Buttress, she did not mince words and would have no hesitation in stopping an interview in mid-stream if she felt you were making too many fumbles, or saying something inappropriate.

We used to play pre-recorded or 'canned' programs on two giant sized antediluvian reel-to-reel tape machines that needed a BSC in engineering to thread and splice. Most canned programs were fifteen or thirty minutes long and it was only then that we were allowed to leave our stations for a tea break or a 'comfort' break. The engineers were sticklers for studio etiquette and booked no nonsense from the errant Disc Jockeys or 'duty announcers' as we were called. It was actually quite an exacting job as on a radio station everything is logged down to the very nano-second and there was absolutely no room for error.

There were some wonderful characters on Radio Matopos - Brian Williams, Dave Emberton, Jan Smith, Fortiny Fowler, Margaret Murray and Basil Von Blomenstein. Forgive me if I have missed any out.

Basil and I got into serious hot water once when we were undertaking a dual midnight New Year's Eve shift. We were having such a grand time grooving our way to the witching hour that we neglected to play the Bata Shoe commercial that was in a preferred slot at exactly midnight. As the gals in the record library reprimanded us severely, they pointed out if would take us a whole year to make that little faux pas good!!

THRASHED - P.J. Odendaal
Thrashed is a roaringly funny fictional novel about a young boy growing up in Africa during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Filled with school boy pranks and humorous characters, the book will leave you with a lot of good laughs. Working through tough family issues, amongst anecdotes that will make your sides ache, forces the author to grow up quickly leading to awkward situations. The easy pace keeps the smiles coming chapter on chapter. There is also a good deal of poetry written during the author's childhood that introduces an element of rejection & sombre reality to the otherwise light-hearted chapters. The book additionally contains a serious side-story of how the author's child is at risk at the time of writing from a potentially life-threatening, possibly genetic disorder. This causes the adopted author to seek out his biological father only to uncover a twisted tale of lies and shame.--

Launch of the HAC Eurocopter 'The Eagle has landed'

HAC are pleased to announce the launch of the newest addition to their fleet, the Eurocopter B2. Based out of Harare International Airport, the Eurocopter B2 will assist HAC's already existing fleet of King Air fixed wing aircraft service clients across Southern Africa.

Specifically, helicopters are a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the machine to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to accomplish tasks that fixed-wing aircraft and other forms of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft cannot perform.

The addition of this machine to the fleet is key in terms of HAC's overall business strategy, they understand that their clients have a diverse set of air charter requirements and their objective is to ensure that they can meet these, whatever the set of circumstances.
Chiefly, the Eurocopter B2 will be an invaluable tool within two main areas:
1)Medical air evacuations that HAC conduct in collaboration with M.A.R.S.
2)Aerial conservation efforts across the country.
We look forward to seeing 'The Eagle' take to new heights and become a pivotal part of the positive growth and protection of Zimbabwe as well as the people that make up Zimbabwe.
Halsted's Aviation Corporation prides itself on being a Proudly African Air Charter Service. Specialising in the Beechcraft Range of aircraft, HAC manage a portfolio that includes: Private Charters, Corporate Charters, Aircraft Management, Cargo Transportation, Medical Evacuations and Aerial Conservation.
Please visit the HAC website for further information www.flyhac.com or contact us on bookings@haczim.com

PAB AND THE ACADEMY

BIRDSONG
Thursday 28 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
The second part of Sebastian Faulks' epic love story set against the First World War. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE
Monday 25, Tuesday 26, Wednesday 27 November
Academy of Music, Room 25 at 5.15 p.m.
With its well known stories, its poetry, proverbs, parables, gospels and epistles, the Bible is a classic, a literary masterpiece. In this three-day series, veteran author John Eppel and NUST lecturer Drew Shaw will lead talks on the Bible as literature. The interactive forum, aimed at enriching our understanding of this great literary and cultural text, will be free and open to all.
Monday 25 November: Book of Genesis
Tuesday 26 November: Song of Songs
Wednesday 27 November: Gospel of Matthew
All are welcome and you can attend any session or all three. No particular religious orientation is necessary to take a literary approach to the Bible. Nor is any prior reading required, but please bring a Bible if you can. This is a literary project rather than a regular Bible Study as such, but the talks will in no way challenge the idea that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Admission: free.

VERDI: ERNANI
Friday 29 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
'Ernani' was Verdi's fifth opera and with it 'his fame took a new leap which carried it at once across the boundaries of Italy.... he was now a world composer'. It is a violent and sombre story of frustrated passion and ambition thwarted and rewarded and stars 'a comparatively trim Pavarotti in great voice.' Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval.

ACADEMY CHRISTMAS SHOWCASE
Tuesday 3 & Wednesday 4 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m.

IN MEMORIAM

Sydney Henderson MILLAR ( 3 March 1910 - 27 November 1983 ).
A kind and generous Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Past Mayor, Alderman, and Freeman of the City of BUlawayo.
Remembered always with love and pride by his family.
Skinner - Harold James,
Beloved father of Carol, Brian, Linda & Paul. Granddad to Adam, Dev, Luke, Matthew, Caitlin, Erin & Ang. Great Granddad to Dylan James. He was a man who did not preach with his lips, but by the ways he lived his life.

Our Dearest Dad,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered 'come to me'. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.
You will forever be in our hearts.
All our love, Carol, Brian & Erin
Our Darling Dad/ Granddad left us on Sunday 17th November after a long hard battle against cancer. He was such a role model. His strength, courage and huge loving heart will always be so so missed by his family. Say hi to Mom/ Nana and Louis for us. Until we meet again. You are home now, surrounded by peace and love. Namaste.
Linda, Paul, Luke, Matthew & Caitlin
Granddad,
Although it's difficult to see beyond the pain and sorrow, looking back in memory of Granddad gives us the strength to keep trucking. You will be missed but never forgotten.
Love Dev, Cands & Dylan
Granddad,
We can't believe the time has come already. You have touched our lives in ways that you will never know - we only hope that we can make you proud. We will always cherish the wonderful memories of the times we spent together.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal".
Thank you for everything you have done for us. We will miss you forever.
All our love, Ad & Ang

5) Roses And Raspberries

RASPBERRIES!!!!!
Saturday night, an hour after the advertised starting time, the problem started - fireworks.
Shame on you , you know who you are, for putting the god of money before the god of compassion and care. Distributing leaflets encouraging pet owners to be 'responsible' does not absolve you from your social responsibilities! What example are you setting the children you teach?
Most certainly the SPCA did not endorse the use of their name on your leaflet and no amount of care can stop the terror felt by some animals at this time. Locked indoors and all windows closed; both the television on and music playing did not blot out the sounds or the vibrations made by the exploding fireworks.
But of course, you were at the show - you were not at home being a 'responsible' pet owner. While you were burning money in order to make money, you were not experiencing life with a terrified animal. They don't understand - what is your excuse? Rest assured that the anti-fireworks campaign will not stop and the day will come when no matter how many 'friends in high places' you may have, this careless and senseless activity taking place in the centre of town and reaching widespread suburban areas - all in the name of money - will come to an end.
Leila Hunt, Suburbs resident

Lottery Scams - If you did not buy a ticket, you cannot win a lottery! There are many attempted frauds often by email, faking a UK connection. Some of these, despite having forwarding addresses in the UK, international email addresses and UK mobile phone numbers, are actually sent from perpetrators based outside the UK.

Do not enter into dialogue with these people. They are professional criminals and will attempt to exploit you. Even if you do not pay them any money, they might steal or abuse your identity. Your best defence against these people is to ignore them, delete any emails that you have received from them and do not pay them any money or give them your bank account details.

If you feel that you may have been the victim of internet fraud contact Action Fraud immediately and report the incident. You may also want to visit the official UK National Lottery website. Further information on lottery fraud and other types of financial scams can be found on the Metropolitan Police website.
