PEASE SEND US YOUR WATER SAVING TIPS

TIPS FOR COPING WITH WATER CUTS

For those who cannot afford to have boreholes, pumps, storage tanks, etc
When carrying water do not suffer from 'Lazy man's load' - heavy loads. Many older (and not so older) people are trying to carry heavy buckets of water - make two trips instead carrying half each time. You won't suffer from strained muscles and the extra walking will do no harm.

Or carry two smaller equally balanced containers, one in each hand.

When filling up your toilet cistern, rest the container on the edge while pouring. If it is a closed container, not a bucket, rest it on it's side and let it run till it stops - half the container usually does the job. Then flush if required, and without removing the container fill the cistern again (container may then be empty). This means only one lift for two flushes !

Many of us are bathing from our wash basins, if your bath is near your washbasin, you may be able to stand your container on the edge of the bath. Then the lift or tilt to the washbasin is much easier.

HILLSIDE METHODIST CHURCH

from Nov 26th 2007 5:30-7:30pm every day ending Dec 2nd 2007 at 9:30am Venue: Hillside Methodist Church cnr. Limerick Rd/Percy Ave. Hillside

UPDATE ON VERITY AMM

It is a few months since the last report on the situation. There has been a big turnover at the Cottages due to ever rising costs with families deciding to make other arrangements and, of course, anno dominae, which, in turn affects the smooth running of activities at the Centre. We will shortly be losing more of the capable and active residents, unfortunately as the economy continues to bite and food availability does not improve.

The soup kitchen has survived a year but it is becoming more and more difficult to find volunteers and men in particular who can help with the huge pots We cater for around 40 a time.. But, we press on. There is now quite an extensive video library and books for the main library are received quite frequently. Members pay $10 for a book or a donation, Zim dollars that is! Our new librarian is 81 years old and was bitten by a cat at the complex last year which continues to give her great problems. The hall has been hired out for functions and is used for a lot of inside socials and meetings and by religious groups.

Unfortunately our Administrator and her husband, who keeps the hall in spotless condition, have been persuaded to join their family in Namibia. We will miss them hugely but do wish them well. We are, therefore urgently needing the services of a couple to fill the position. Anyone interested please ring 255611 or e-mail rickwood@gatorzw. com On the whole it has been the most difficult year yet and one pensioner was pleased to tell me that her pension had been raised to Z$2.5 million! Unfortunately millions are worth nothing in fact two = gbp1. In the circumstances we cannot expect to cover costs from within. She is one of the lucky ones. Many are turning their hands to craft work and make shopping bags and door stops in particular using any scraps they can get hold of. One lady does beautiful flower arranging and there is much talent generally. One resident has got the vegetable garden productive again but is, of course, limited in the amount of work he can do. Generally most of the men are still working be they in their 70's or 80's and need to continue until they drop quite literally. Life has been tough for the oldies in 2007. One lady approached me as she was fearful her husband would lose his job and they had nothing to fall back on. I asked about her family to be told they did not want to know as she was getting Altzheimers!

On behalf of all members I would like to give a huge 'thank you' to the many people and companies both in Bulawayo and, in fact, all over the world who have been so very generous in cash and kind and enabled us to carry on helping to make the life of our oldies a little easier. We have managed the two soups a week but without meat now although recently donations have been received which enabled meals to be provided which were hugely appreciated. I am told they were also able to enjoy hot chocolate and marshmallows for morning tea on several occasions - a real treat.

JUMBLE SALE - We intend to hold a jumble sale just as soon as we have enough so ladies, if you are on the move or simply clearing your places please remember your junk may be someone else's treasure and anything will be gratefully received at Verity Amm Hall next to Coronation Cottages and will, in its turn, help us to do more for our people.

Grateful thanks also go to Margaret Kriel and the Morning Mirror which has been so very helpful in enabling us to carry on the work. The Christmas party season is now upon us and parties have been arranged to include residents at many other homes and complexes and there will be a chance to go to Grannies' night at the theatre - not a panto this year, unfortunately. How about adopting a Granny this year to join in your festivities? Many have no families of their own here any more and Christmas can be the loneliest time of the year for them.

We take this opportunity to wish all a very happy festive season and improvements in the life style in 2008. - God Bless!

Chairman, Exec Com. Verity Amm Centre

The Bulawayo Crematorium

There are, however, additional costs which must be met in order that the refurbishment can actually take place, together with additional materials that, on closer inspection of the Cremator, were found to be necessary.

In order that a guarantee is given, Pyros requires that their own experts oversee the operation, commission the cremator and train the subsequent operators. These costs must be met by ourselves as a further approach to the Beit Trust would suggest that Bulawayo is not willing to help itself

The Committee in conjunction with the business community have raised funds for the following - Accommodation: 10days for 2 persons (Refractory Masons) 6 days for 1 person (Specialist Engineer) - Vehicle(s) and fuel for travelling to the site etc - Transport of the materials from South Africa to Bulawayo - probably payable in R

The following requirements remain outstanding due to our current economic hardships and foreign currency constraints:

- 3 x air fares: Durban-J'Burg- Byo return A discount has been offered by an Airline but obviously the amount payable in Rand will depend on dates - Additional materials - Venturi Educators - R5 227.00 each (2 off required) - Airjets - R665.00 each (4 off required) - Temperature Indicators - R1 575.00 each (1 off required with Termocouple) - Draft Indicators - R4 025.00 each (1 off required) - Cost of Refractory Masons (10days for 2 persons) - R36 167.00 - Cost of Specialist Service Engineer (6 days for 1 person) - R60 000.00

A Committee has been set up to raise the required funds outlined above and it presently consists of: Mr D Hubbard - United Spring & Forging (Chairman) Rev Noel Scott - Representative for the Churches Mr Neil Todd - Representative of the Beit Trust Mr Roger Enslin Mr George Enslin - City Council Mr Mike Burns - Committee Member Mr John Tipler - (ABUZ) Mr Dean Pieters - Committee Member Mrs kathy Booysen - Datvest Mr George Parkin - Committee Member
Any monies received will be handled by Mrs Kathy Booysen of Datvest, who will keep separate books of account and will disburse such funds on a voucher system. Anyone wishing to donate toward this worthy cause can contact Mrs Booysen on Bulawayo 75483 to make arrangements. A Trust Fund will be registered for any excess funds, after expenses have been paid, and it is envisaged that, in consultation with Council and the Funeral Parlours, a levy will be raised on the basic cremation fee (say 15%) to provide the funds for future, regular maintenance work to be carried out on the cremator. In addition, the Trust will operate an FCA account for any foreign currency donations.

ANYONE WHO NEEDS MORE INFORMATION Thanks for inserting the snake bite information. ....... I was wondering if you could insert it again at a later date to ensure that most everyone will see it.

My name is Petros Ndhlovu (professional tennis coach) based at Bulawayo Athletic Club (BAC) in Bulawayo. I have been involved in tennis coaching in the province for 13 years with the junior and senior squads and recently wheelchair tennis development for 3 years.

I do appeal for help to enable one of my students Nyasha ,Mharakurwa to travel to South Africa for the ACSA East London Open from the 27th to the 30th of November and the South African Open in Pretoria , 5-8 December 2007. He is a wheelchair tennis player with a congenital deformity and recently graduated with an Honours Degree in Administration (UZ), he has been playing wheelchair tennis for the past three years and has played two tournaments on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour in South Africa. The first tournament was the Free State Open in February where he got to the semis and quarter finals in the doubles and singles respectively. Recently, he competed in the ACSA Limpopo Open where he was runner up in both singles and double. For this great achievement he earned a world ranking of 160 in singles and 178 in doubles.

We have so far raised R 2 700,00 through tennis lessons and from a few well wishers and we do appeal to anyone out there to help raise the remaining R 2 700,00 by Friday 23 November 2007. we have got transport sponsorship from a local bus company to and from South Africa.

for more information regarding this, please contact petros on 011 572 911, 023 291 238 or nyasha 0912 485 498 or petrosnluv@yahoo. com or nmharakurwa@ yahoo.com

The November issue of taxnews is out on the 28th. From the responses we have received we must clarify that the 10% witholding tax has nothing to do with VAT.It relates to income tax. If you are in business either as an individual or as a company you must examine every transaction. If the amount being paid by you is more than $500 000 and you do not hold an ITF263 tax clearance form from your supplier then you must withhold 10% of the value.

Recently Zimra have correctly garnered penalties and interest on persons who did not hold the 10% on fuel supplies. The fact that the fuel is exempt from VAT has nothing to do with the 10% w/tax. The section that governs the withholding tax was brought in to aid Zimra in bringing the informal sector to pay some taxes.If your supplier does not have an ITF263 then it means his income taxes are not up to date or he doesn`t have a tax file. You are then in effect paying his taxes for him, plus penalty ,plus interest?Is it worth it?

Be very careful that the invoice marries with the Form ITF 263.If the names are different or he has put his trading name instead of his company name , Zimra will penalise you. Fiona Farmer

CORNER STONE IN THE GREEN BELT ON THE WEST (TOWN) SIDE OF PARK ROAD, SUBURBS TOWARDS 7TH STREET / 4TH AVENUE.

This is positioned between the railway lines, laid in anticipation of putting an engine there for the Railways Centenary, and the Children's Traffic Training area. it can be seen from park Road or from near the surgery next to McDonald Club.

It is about 1.5 metres high and wide and is literally just the corner of a building.

It reads:
This foundation stone was laid by CAMILLA FRANCIS JOHNSTONE on 312 December 1999.
The Railways do not seem to have an explanation, and no newspaper article was found mentioning it at this time this time.
Does anyone know anything about this ? What was it for ? Was it for the Millennium celebrations ?

CARERS NEEDED IN THE UK

CORINIUM CARE is an independent agency arranging twenty-four hour care for the elderly and infirm in their own homes in the UK. We expect carers to look after our clients with the same compassion as they would a member of their own family by helping them perform the activities of daily living. The degree of care depends very much on individual circumstances and carers are given detailed information before agreeing to accept a position. The daily rate ranges between £65.00 and £95.00 and travel expenses are paid by the client.

Before being registered as carers with our agency applicants are required to undergo a 5 day in-house induction and training course supported by an in-house ongoing training programme advising carers on all aspects of the job within the confines of the client's home. We provide round the clock support and guidance should any problems arise whilst on an assignment.

Requirements are:- British/EU Passport or Right ofAbode/Ancestral Visa Qualities needed:- Caring relies on your attitude and ability to be compassionate, patient and understanding. Certain qualities make a better carer, ie. Flexibility, cheerfulness and a good sense of humour. Should you wish to apply/need additional information, contact:- Jenny Osborne Tel:- 850271 or Cell:- 9012 324 333 or Email: jenny@corinium. co.zw

AFRICAN EARTHWORKS WITH KIGELIA

The development of this product took some 18 months and included the services of a French Nose who spent several months in Zimbabwe to develop the unique fragrances that relate to the fragrances of the African Wilderness.

The loofahs used in the soaps, grow wild off the tender clinging vine - the luffa aegyptiaca - in the lowveld and the Zambezi Valley. They are handpicked by villagers who live in these remote areas, and are delivered to us from as far as 500kms by various modes of transport.

The loofahs are then sun dried, peeled, washed, de-seeded and dried again. Hand selection takes place in selecting the correct size loofah to fit the mould. The soap is made using high percentages of natural oils which are poured over each loofah. We wait for the soaps to set and then each is individually removed from the mould and trimmed and polished by hand. The wrapping and packing process takes place by hand. We believe that this is what makes our product so unique - you really have a piece of Africa in your hands. Enjoy our products they are naturally a part of Africa.
At present the range consists of: - Loofah Soaps Glycerin Soaps Exotic Bath Soaks Sugar Bath Cubes Endangered Guest Soaps Not forgetting our unique Earthchild Eau de Parfum Which come in six exciting African inspired fragrances - Zambezi Wild Berry - Zambezi Rain Forest - Marula and Jojoba Oil - Baobab and Tea Tree Oil - Rose Oil and Apricot -----soon to be replaced by African Love flower. - Savannah Aloe afearthworks@ mweb.co.zw

Pets

Orphaned kittens desperately seeking homes.

Last week a black & white cat was killed on Cecil Ave (Banff/Essex Road area). Three days later it emerged that she had left behind five kittens. We think these little babies are about a month old. We started off by syringe feeding but they are already learning to eat by themselves. Although very young, they are strong and healthy.

SPCA advise that they are unable to assist as the kittens are too small for them to care for and they will be put to sleep if taken there. If you have a lactating cat who might temporarily adopt one (or a few) of these orphans or if you can give a home to a kitten please contact me - 467549 (w), 0912 398014 or zimkatt@yahoo. co.uk These little fighters survived against all odds and deserve a second chance. Please help!


A DOG CALLED ALICE

Alice, a golden Labrador retriever was adopted from the Bulawayo SPCA by a loving family. She fitted in well with their other dogs and was the family favourite. Unfortunately for Alice, her family had to leave Zimbabwe and a 'good' friend took Alice as she was a young dog. Her second family, it seems, did not bond with her and looked upon this energetic dog as a nuisance. Time went by and poor Alice was once again moved on. She found herself in a worse predicament with very little food, not much love but this plucky little dog made the most of the situation, until one day in hunger, she killed some chickens. We were called to collect this dog and it broke my heart to see her emaciated condition. She is with us at the Bulawayo SPCA where she will get food and plenty of tender, loving care. Hopefully some kind person will give her a loving home she deserves.

10 a) SEEKING FRIENDS

The reason for my message to you, and it is a bit of a last resort, and it is to request some assistance. I would like to make contact with Gordon and Thelma Norman with whom I worked in the 60's. They lived in Donavan Ave in Hillside. Also with Pete Karsten who lived in Kumalo, Landau Drive I think. I have tried over time to reach them without success. If you are able to help that would be much appreciated. If you feel it necessary to request their permission to give me their details please let them know that I have asked. I'm sure it will be fine by them. I have tried emails, telephone calls and written occasionally, but no response has been forthcoming.

It is sad, but they are the few remaining people from days past.

Kind regards
