ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++ We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now. -Martin Luther King, Jr.- +++ There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. -Napolean Hill- ++++ Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion. -John Burroughs- ++++++ Editorial The Weaker Sex Laments. When I come back I am coming back as a man!! A man's life is just so much easier than a woman's life from the cradle to the grave. Yes I know that 'Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.' but apart from that, admit it, we really get a raw deal in life. Of course the primary question is - why should the little women have the babies' It's jolly painful not to mention messing up every single itty-bitty part of ones' anatomy. When did you last see a man who had stretch marks, and a pouch like a kangaroo Men earn their bellies in a much more fun way!! If men were suddenly given the responsibility, pain and trauma of having the babies, the world's population would indeed be in a quandary and overpopulation would soon be a thing of the past!! And then there is the not so gentle art of waxing, and here I broach this subject with genuine tears in my eyes Guys are allowed to be hirsute, even encouraged to be hirsute, indeed it's considered sexy, but the Little Woman goes through sheer hell to undertake a depilatory regime across every part of her body that can be seen, and every part that needs not to be seen!! Have you ever seen a man screaming at the Argus Cycle Race, while having his legs waxed, well, girls never ever scream!! We may feel like screaming but we accept our awful lot in life through gritted teeth...as we accept so many things in our lives!! Men are so lucky; they can wear shorts and trousers at all times, apart from the Scots and the Kikoi variety. I challenge any man to sit with his knees together on a podium for three hours in a skirt...I dare any man to ascend a land cruiser elegantly with our displaying his breakfast, whilst wearing a skirt. And then there is the agonizing problem of footwear. We attended a couple of divine weddings recently, both which necessitated the donning of stilettos! Give me strength, heaven help the fairer sex, the heels sank into the soft grass, the pain was unbearable and it's definitely track shoes for sure for the next wedding. Men have absolutely no idea what we have to go through to gain a few precious centimeters in height and to subtly promote the allure of an elegant silhouette.... Finally, I must end on the subject of the intricacies of the Men v Women toiletry essentials. Why on earth did Mother Nature bless us with such an unfriendly apparatus Men are so lucky, their thoraxes are just so user-friendly, they are just so anatomically blessed.... Their chassis are not subject to such torment; their haunches are never put under such strain as are ours. I now understand why men rock backwards and forwards on their heels at certain times during their supremely easy bodily functions, they are in fact thumbing their noses at the so called 'weaker sex'- reveling in the ease with which they undertake their nebulous relief efforts. Yes indeed, next time round I am definitely hoping to be a man!! +++++++ 2) EVENTS 40 SOMETHIN' "SATURDAY SESSION AT SOUTHERN" Saturday 13th September at 1.00pm Southern Comfort Lodge and White Rock Centre present an afternoon in their beautiful gardens, come and enjoy the glorious spring sunshine with - 40 Somethin' playing "live "music again ! - Just like yesteryear.

The film stars Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart as Holmes and Watson with Richard E.Grant as Stapleton and was the first dramatisation of one of literature's greatest gothic thrillers to be shot at the actual location of the novel. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ($6.00) RAMEAU: LES BOREADES Friday 12 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Rameau died 250 years ago on 12 September 1764 and 'Les Boreades', written when the composer was 80, was his final opera. It is the mythical tale of a young queen, Alphise, determined to abdicate rather than contemplate an enforced marriage to a descendant of Boreas, god of the north wind. Her forbidden love for Abaris is reciprocated, but seems hopeless until his divine origins are revealed, whereupon darkness is turned to light and Boreas's dingy domain is suffused with glowing colours, both literally and metaphorically. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during APOCALYPSE - WORLD WAR I Monday 15 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.30 p.m. - in association with the Alliance Francaise 'Apocalypse World War I' is a new prime-time series for various television channels including France2, Knowledge and National Geographic covering the events of the First World War in five fifty-minute episodes. Two will be shown on Monday and Wednesday, the final episode on Friday. Episode 1 'Fury' explores the causes of the war and the German advance on Paris. As a German victory seems imminent, wartime enthusiasm turns to fear. Episode 2 'Fear' covers the Russian advance into Prussian territory and the Battle of the Marne. The battlefields become a living Hell. Admission: Free APOCALYPSE - WORLD WAR I Wednesday 17 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.30 p.m. - in association with the Alliance Francaise Episode 3 'Hell': By mid-1915 millions of men are caught in the snares of a gigantic war. In February 1916 the Germans launch a massive offensive at Verdun, and on 1 July the Battle of the Somme begins. Episode 4 'Rage': Soldiers have reached breaking point and on the home front anger seethes as hunger stalks the population. Admission: Free BRAVEHEART Thursday 18 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. The Scottish Referendum takes place on 18 September so 'Braveheart' seems an appropriate choice of film, portraying as it does William Wallace, the warrior who led the Scots in a war of independence against England seven centuries ago!

This follows the successful launch of the event at the same venue in December 2013. Last year's inaugural festival drew an encouraging number of people. It was planned as a celebration of natural and healthy eating. This year the intention is still the same: to promote the production and consumption of traditional and organic foods which are now internationally regarded as the healthier options. Several groups have collaborated in setting up both editions of the event. These organisations include ZAVSAP (Zimbabwe Adding Value to Sustainable Agriculture Produce), CADS (Cluster Agricultural Development Services), ZOPPA (Zimbabwe Organic Producers and Promoters Association), ZIMSOFF (Zimbabwe Small-Scale Organic Farmers Forum), STEP (Sustainable Tourism Enterprises Promotion), BIZ (Bio-Innovation in Zimbabwe), FoodMattersZimbabwe and representatives from various government ministries, in particular: the Ministries of Health and Child Welfare; Agriculture and Mechanisation, Industry and Commerce; and Women's Affairs. There has also been support from the Food and Nutrition Council as well as the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. The overall aim is to encourage producers and consumers, who some call co-producers because of their potential to influence how production happens, towards food systems that produce, process and market healthy and nutritious foods in a sustainable way. Nearly 40 stallholders will display a variety of food and drink, both for buying and, in some cases, for tasting. Information will be provided as well. There will be stalls run by small-scale organic farmers and food businesses, government ministries, NGOs; among others. Farmers will be coming from different parts of the country. Pop-up restaurants will be selling lunch, snacks and drinks that are in line with the theme of the festival. A diversity of traditional, nutritious foods from Zimbabwe and other countries will be available. Entertainment will be provided by local artistes: Sniper Storm, Edith weUtonga, Vera, BaShupi, Steve Chikotie, Zim Jam Signal and the Kubatana Unite Marimba Ensemble are in the line-up. There will also be cooking and other food processing demonstrations. Carl Joshua Ncube will be showcasing his culinary skills. An exciting programme of activities has been planned for primary school age children in the KidsZone. They will be able to do colouring, mask-making, and create objects from recycled materials. They will also be introduced to traditional dance and the playing of traditional musical instruments. Mindful that habits start early in life, the children will get an opportunity to learn about healthy foods and lifestyles. The SPCA will arrange donkey cart rides and a pen of farm animals; as well as a short talk about them. A reduced entry fee into the National Botanic Gardens has been negotiated for the Traditional & Organic Food Festival. Children under the age of 12 will enter for US$ 0.50 and everyone else will be charged US$1.
