CRIME AWARENESS BULAWAYO UPDATE written and compiled by Tracey Burns 21/10/05
I am only one, but still I am one. I can not do everything, but I can do something.And because I can not do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do.-Hellen Keller- How true the above statement is for all of us. I look into any law that pertains to relevent problems and forward it to you the public who might be sitting in total oblivion of what we the civilians are entitled to in Zimbabwe. This week, I want to inform you about Neighbourhood Watch Committees. FOR THE FULL CRIME REPORT E MAIL TRACEY ON crime@mweb.bo.zw

WATERBLUES
We all experience some sort of rationing every day. But to my mind one of the worst scenarios is having NO WATER. After more than 2 weeks of a thin trickle DURING NIGHT ONLY, finally ,the source dried up and there was NOTHING emerging from our taps! As if life is coming to an end! We survived this misery and after 5 days of agony , physical and brain work we were the happiest people last night when 'life 'came back! Most of all we are very grateful to our friends who supplied us with 1000 liters borehole water twice a week, so that we could survive in the first place!!!!! But also thanks to the imagination, ingenuity and technical skills of my husband and the help of our maid and gardener who adhered to our strict rules ,that normal household scores continued, so that we came out clean and tidy!!

During the first two weeks the trickle from the tap was still able to fill up the water geyser and the toilet cysterns- at least during night, so that there was enough supply for short but even hot showers and washing up. For the rest of the day the cysterns of course had to be handfilled with possibly fresh water. But then the pressure got weaker, and when the municipal supply ceased we were stuck. We fixed the waterpipe from the bowser pump to the bathtap shower outlet opening the hot water tap. In this way you can pump the water straight into the geyser! And so we could have our hot shower again straight from the tap! That was that!

To be able to utilize the automatic washing maschine (mine is a DEFY), which again does not work without proper water pressure, we installed a drum high enough next to the machine. With a hosepipe fixed to the drum (or with a bucket) you can fill the machine through the soap compartment up to the water level where it can run. The machine will wash until the soap water is drained. Then it will stop. Turn the dial manually to 'spin'. Thereafter it stops again , turn it to 'rinse' and fill again up to the appropriate water level.. Repeat procedure 3 times at the marked program stages. Needless to say that you should collect that washing water for your garden!! It does not harm the plants!!!!

I can tell you it is a bit of a pain, but not too bad. It works and you feel proud of your achievement. Even busy mums and working ladies could spare the time! I also found that I use less water with this method than normally with that continuous waterflow during the rinsing program.

Another tip for the survival of your precious plants: We punched holes near the bottom of 2 liter Mazoe bottles and planted them deep next to the needy plants. The 2 liters go straight to the roots and evaporation is reduced and you can exactly calculate your water usage for the plants. We also connected our wastewater outlets from the house with pipes that lead underground into 200 l drums from which we collect the wastewater from kitchen and showers only. By the way: We have been doing this since the late eighties!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if you want to be successful and survive you will have to work for it! If only we could have a schedule of the rationing, then everybody could deal with it!!!

Good luck with YOUR EFFORTS!!!

APPEAL FOR 'THE WAY' CLINIC AT THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION ,KENT RD ,HILLSIDE
This Clinic has been operating for 3 years to serve the needs of the poor and destitute in the area. It is run by a team of volunteers-two doctors,two nursing sisters with help from other nurses when they are off duty ,and several helpers. The number of patients has risen considerably over the last year ,exceeds 100 now and then so consequently more help is needed not least because one of the sisters and one doctor is going on leave shortly .
The Clinic operates on Wednesdays from 10am to 1.00 or 2.00pm depending on the demand in the Parish Room which is entered from the church car-park . Our Appeal is for doctors and nurses/retired nurses who can give a few hours of their time on Wednesday mornings. We would also welcome gifts of medicines,bandages,pill boxes or anything else that might be useful in this service.

This Week's Sky at a Glance By Alan M. MacRobert

Some daily events in the changing sky for October 14 – 22
By October 18, 2005, with summer advancing in Mars's southern hemisphere, a V-shaped dust storm had developed in the Chryse region. (Yellow ticks mark the V's top ends and bottom point.) Click on the image to see how the dust clouds changed and spread in the following 24 hours. Mars observers were becoming concerned that the dust storm could grow and widen to blanket the whole planet, hiding surface features as happened at the Mars opposition of 2001. For this image, taken at 3:04 UT, Sky & Telescope assistant editor Sean Walker used a ToUcam Pro 740 webcam at f/50 on a 7-inch Maksutov-Newtonian telescope, then stacked the video frames using RegiStax freeware.

After 11 months the train in the Centenary Park is running. Had stood unused for 5 years before this but today putt-putt, trampoline, train - all painted - spic-and-span and running.
Our Bulawayo children will be richer for the sacrificial efforts and generosity of Bulawayo public.
Some small mods required but herewith the evidence. Even in all our problems the impossible can happen and children's lives can be enriched.
Share high and wide.
Well done to the small Rotary International and Round Table Committee for persevering. Steam loco next !

How are Hurricanes Named?

Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again. Each name on the list starts with a different letter, for example, the name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so on. The letters "Q", "U", "X", "Y" and "Z", however, are not used. Often when an unusually destructive hurricane hits, that hurricane's name is retired and never used again. Since 1954, forty names have been retired. In 1996 Hurricane Luis was retired. Is your name among the currently used or retired hurricane names?

Just to let the public know, The Bulawayo water problem is not so much the small reservoirs etc but the bad piping system. A local water engineer informs me that 45% of the water pumped is being lost en route due to bad piping AND the Council are aware of this!
To pipe water from the Zambezi would mean having to pump it up hill from there! This means that we would have massive electricity charges to pay to get this water here! THEN, we'll still lose 45% of that again if the piping still hasn't been replaced!
Byo needs to have new piping layed throughout before a new source of water is looked for and is justified! Bulawayo is also way behind ( like it doesn't exist!) in water re cycling! The Old Morton Jaffrey works are no longer used for any meaniful water supply. Most of Harare's water is recycled as are most cities in the world!!
What the city fathers are wanting is a new car when the old one just has a flat wheel!! Bulawayo does have enough water!! It is just not managed and distributed properly!
PIPE DREAMS!




Bananas... This is very interesting.

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again -

Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, "eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

I realise it is hard for some folk to bring their wares to me so just give me a ring and I will come to you. Phone Caroline Smith on 011-220570 or 280510.

SATELITE DISH
I am looking for a 1.5 or 1.2 satelite dish if anyone has one they are not using to sell or give away they are the old bigger ones. I will pick up anywhere around Bulawayo or arrange to take down as well. Call 091 898 507 or 011 419 342.
