THANK YOU TO THE BULAWAYO FIRE BRIGADE FOR PROMPT ATTENTION TO A FIRE IN SUBURBS ON TUESDAY LAST WEEK

WELL DONE AND WE EVEN HAD WATER IN THE FIRE ENGINES !! FULL MARKS TO YOU .....

A LITTLE BIT OF PRAISE WHICH, HOPEFULLY, MAY GO FAR.

We went to a marvelous show last night at the Bulawayo Theatre. It was Queen's "We Will Rock You". My husband has seen the London Stage Show, and compared our Bulawayo production very favourable with that. There are plenty, plenty of very talented actors and actresses, and singers with tremendous voices out there, and so many of them came together for that magic show, I hope they carry on and use that talent of theirs'.

Also, the audience participation was lovely - shows we ALL enjoyed the show. Thankyou to Twani Lambert-Porter for putting it together, and to everyone who was involved - when's the next one?????

Graham & Carol MacKenzie.

THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE ...

The Wilson Family at Chipangali have cared for our wildlife for 35 years.

They have saved, adopted, cared for countless animals, carnivores, antelope, rhino, birds, elephant, monkeys, snakes .... anything that needs a home is never turned away.

They are finding times desperately hard with the food shortages and economic problems.
They are trying to find scrap veggies at most of the places and if it wasn't for Ascot Spar and Hillside spar and Willsgrove vegetables they would be really in a jam.
They are busy making our own rhino food at the moment which we are also feeding to all the antelopes and to the ducks etc.
Our carnivores are our biggest problem at the moment and with our phones being almost non existent we are not getting the meat that we are requiring so we have resorted to grinding our own maize meal or buying it when we can, and cooking that and mixing that with the not so nice meat to try and feed to the wild dogs and some of the lions who are willing to eat it.
They need YOUR help with donations of meat, grain and vegetables.
Also we are going to hopefully be sending up to 17 lions to a very caring NON HUNTING conservationist in South Africa who is trying to breed white lions with the Chipangali lions who have exceptionally beautiful manes.

"PARENTS BE WARNED...THE DRUG ECSTASY IS BEING SOLD TO OUR KIDS BY DEALERS AT VARIOUS CLUBS HERE IN BULAWAYO. THESE KIDS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. THEY SIMPLY THINK IT'S "COOL". IT'S NOT SO COOL WHEN THEY HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING BY DISTRAUGHT RELATIVES BECAUSE THEY'VE OVERDOSED... OR MIXED DRUGS WITH ALCOHOL."

Dangers of using Ecstasy
Name of Drug: Ecstasy (3,4-Methylenedioxy methamphetamine)
Street names: Ecstasy ,"X","E", Adam, MDMA, many others
Proper Use: None but it was originally used by psychologists and therapists as a therapeutic tool, an acute anti-depressant.
ABUSE Effects: There is a MYTH that doing Ecstasy once in a while will not hurt you.Besides that fact that there are many FAKE ecstasy pills being sold and causing deaths Please read this teenagers (tragic story) , just doing one pill can cause a minor burnout.
Getting high on Ecstasy can lead you to do things that you normally wouldn't such as risky unprotected sex or taking other unwise chances. People will build a tolerance to ecstasy and soon you will be doing more than one pill just to get the same effect as before. Ecstasy is psychologically addicting.
Ecstasy users commonly report a "burnout" for one-two days afterward, characterized by tiredness, soreness, and dullness of the senses and mental processes. It is possible that this is a result of temporary depletion of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, and that the brain needs time to replenish them
The use of Ecstasy has been linked with a wide range of abnormalities such as impaired memory, chronic depression, anxiety, panic attacks, sleeplessness, "de-personalization ", "de-realization" , reduced cognitive ability, flashbacks, hallucinations, and paranoid delusions. Persons taking large quantities of Ecstasy in a binge pattern of use were thus at risk. Heavy users might develop depression and anxiety in the future. A user becomes a veritable neurological time-bomb.

Withdrawal Symptoms: Ecstasy is Psychologically addicting and the most common withdrawal of this addiction is DEPRESSION.
Overdose Symptoms: Those who overdose usually experience overheating, panic attacks, faintness, severe dehydration and loss of consciousness. Ecstasy raises your body temperature and makes you restless so you have to keep on moving and you literally overheat and cook your insides. Some People who have died from E have had body temps over 108 degrees
Another way people die is there are Fake ecstasy Pills and you really don't know what drug you are actually taking. Drug dealers are making these pills and they really don't care if they use the right chemicals or not .
Do Not mix this drug with any other drug INCLUDING ALCOHOL

Ecstasy and Health: Physical Damage from Ecstasy Use. The greatest dangers Ecstasy abusers face in the short term are super-elevated body temperature and dehydration. These are typical side effects, which can occur with any use, and they can be deadly.
On the other hand, if abusers drink too much water too quickly, they can face equally deadly dangers. Too much water drunk too quickly dilutes the level of sodium in the blood. With too little sodium, water is sucked into the brain cells under osmotic pressure, causing them to swell. This increases pressure on the brain stem, which controls heart and breathing functions. Brain swelling can lead to coma and death.

Other physical damage Ecstasy causes in the short term includes: Muscle tension Involuntary jaw clenching and jaw problems Cracked tooth enamel, worn teeth, tooth decay Nausea Headache Blurred vision Reduced appetite Chills and sweating Acne-like rash on the face and neck Loss of control over voluntary body movements Fainting Tremors High blood pressure Body temperature up to 110°-- causes death Dehydration - can be fatal Kidney failure Liver damage Elevated heart rate Heart attack Stroke Seizures Brain cell destruction Psychological Damage from Ecstasy Use: Confusion Hallucinations Sleep problems Drug craving Psychological addiction Poor decision-making ability Getting into fights or accidents Anxiety and paranoia Violent, irrational behavior Depression, even suicidal thoughts Decreased ability to process serotonin - critical to sleep and well-being

11) SEEKING FRIENDS

"My father attended Mercer's School in Holborn, London, and has edited the Old Mercer's magazine for some years. He has recently heard from Betty Holmes, the widow of an Old Mercer who is seeking information on a friend of her late husband. His name is David Gibson, and the last address Mrs Holmes had for him was in Woodville, Bulawayo. She has tried to contact him on the telephone number in Woodville which she had for many years, but without success. He was the nearest to a brother that her husband had whilst growing up, and she would dearly love to know whether he is still OK. I did manage to contact him about two or three years ago on her behalf, and he was fit and well then. If anyone reads this and can let us know how he and how to get hold of him, we'd be very happy to pass on information to Betty.

Please contact Lucy Findlay at stamatkins4@ talktalk. net"
