ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++++ Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero +++++ Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. - Melody Beattie - +++++ The bird dares to break the shell, then the shell breaks open and the bird can fly openly. This is the simplest principle of success. You dream, you dare and and you fly. - Israelmore Ayivor - +++++ Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. - -Nelson Mandela- - +++++ Love is a friendship set to music. - Joseph Campbell - +++++ Editorial THE DEAR OLD BULAWAYO POST OFFICE The dear old Bulawayo main post office has not changed one tiny bit I am sure, since the days of the ox wagon!! That extraordinary beautiful building fashioned with massive redstone bricks and a white plaster trim, and featuring enormously high pressed ceilings, is an icon in Fort Street Bulawayo. Walking into that hallowed hall, one almost expects to see the postal workers wearing peak caps and metal stretch elastic sleeve holders!! Sitting over a tap, tap telegraphic machine tapping Morse code!! Same old wooden cupboards aka booths, same old gigantic cardboard books to hold the postage stamps. The two ancient posting boxes are still there with their brass plaques. 'Dates and times for collection' however no longer apply it would seem and the boxes are no longer marked as 'airmail' or 'seamail' There was one difference and that was there were No Queues, in fact it was pretty deserted, in this new age of electronic mail!! The patient queues for the telephone booths were no longer, as it would appear that almost every Zimbabwean today posses a mobile phone. Money these days is not sent via registered mail at the post office but rather transferred by Mpesa or Ecocash or Mukuru, everyone wants a piece of that lucrative cash cow.... My adventure into the post office was to post She Who Must Run's wedding invitations. They are indeed exquisite and feature a little pearl and diamante button, held with a delicate satin ribbon trim. I wondered if they would ever arrive at their destinations with the elaborate decoration intact!! Each invite cost me a whole dollar to post in Africa (I was charged with sending the African sector postage) almost expensive as the telegrams we knew as children, where one would pay per word and it was so prohibitively expensive that this mysterious method was only used in dire emergency. It's been a long time since that friendly postal deliveryman arrived at our post box!! Always dressed in a neat grey uniform, riding his bike with a carrier on the front to transport the Christmas Cards, letters, bills and magazines. Nowadays our mail arrives with a clunk in our in-box on the computer, not quite as personal? +++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS WIN A TRIP TO THE USA! Have a pen and passport? Still in high school?

A couple of rumour's have circulated, regarding Food Lover's Market that we feel need some clarification. Firstly, there was no armed robbery that took place. An altercation between our guards and a gentleman who wanted to park in our trolley bay, resulted in the aforementioned gentleman producing a firearm. This was the reason why the alarm went off at the centre , and the gates were momentarily closed. We apologise for the inconvenience in this regard. It is now a police case. Secondly, it has been suggested that Food Lover's Market are in some way responsible for the food stands being banned at the centre, this was a Heath Department directive which was in no way influenced or supported by ourselves. We hope this will dispel the rumours and bring clarity to Sundays events. - with Shayne Oxden-Willows and Adrian Fairbairn. +++++ Bulawayo Publicity Association Many firms have had a name change, amongst them are AON to MINERVA RISK ADVISERS; C B RICHARD ELLIS to DAWN PROPERTY CONSULTANTS and NIELD LUKAN to NATIONAL CARPETS & CURTAINS The Holiday Inn has recently opened the King Bean Coffee Shop on the terrace which is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

The Bulawayo Public Library offers this facility to young and old at very low subscription rates. It was started in 1896, the first library in this country. It is funded by subscriptions, a small grant in aid from the City Council and donations of books from international libraries. The library building contains a children's library, a Braille library, EU and USA funded sections which are mainly educational advisory centres offering free use of their internet service. There is also a large reference department. The library has a branch at Ascot and is re-opening one at Cowdray Park. It also has a Mobile Library which benefits readers who cannot get to the main library and supplements school libraries. Needless to say, escalating costs and the current economic situation have placed your library in a precarious financial position and if any firm can assist in kind with its maintenance/ repair work, this would be so much appreciated. This has been a year of highs and lows, but we trust that the Christmas period will be a joyful one for you all. The Bulawayo Publicity Association would like to take this opportunity of thanking all its members and donors for their generous support over the years and to let you know that your support is greatly appreciated. It will continue to do all it can to work for the benefit of the citizens of Bulawayo and to emphasize the importance of the city and Matopos as a very desirable tourist and business destination. info@bulawayopublicity.com www.bulawayopublicity.com TEL: 00 263 9 60867/8/72969. +++++ 'Rescue a Pothole' campaign; Since our advert through your media, we have received numerous enquiries. May I request that through the same,  you assist us in answering the most common questions. It shall greatly assist the many persons wanting to venture into pothole repair, for the very first time.   Firstly; be sure to place visible warning signs around the area you are intending to be working within, red buckets, chairs or similar. Reflective triangles should be placed some distance away, facing both traffic directions, this shall assist in pre-warning motorists. If possible wear 'bright coloured' clothing.   Eezy Tar is a premixed product, ready to use, just need add a little water. Follow the simple instructions on the packet. No special tools required. However, it should be used last, as the top layer to seal the refilled pothole. Eezy Tar cures as a mat, similarly to a carpet. It is advantageous to firstly create a firm base.   Initially; So as to achieve best compaction, backfill pothole using slightly damp gravely soil. Use a broom handle laid flat across the hole, to gauge the required depth. In excess of 1 cm (ONE) is unnecessary. Pour Eezy tar and ram in using a brick. Rather, more tar above & around the hole than wasting it filling the actual hole. I take this opportunity to thank you and your publishing team for the tremendous achievement over this last year, in being great communicators. We thank you for your assistance in this regard.

We understand that they are going around with letters of introduction alleged to be from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority. The letters are allegedly signed by C.T. Shumba, C. Mayo, C.T. Chigwanda and B. Nyika. We urge you to confirm with ZIMRA Managers or Supervisors from your nearest ZIMRA Office before serving any officials claiming to be coming from ZIMRA. You can visit the ZIMRA website (www.zimra.co.zw) for contact details of ZIMRA offices throughout the country. When carrying out audit duties and on visiting clients' premises, ZIMRA officers work in teams of at least two officers and they should be displaying name tags showing the first name and the surname of each officer, plus ZIMRA identity cards. The ZIMRA identity card contains the following features: Zimbabwean flag ZIMRA logo (showing ZIMRA's Core Values: Integrity, Transparency and Fairness) The officer's licence-size photograph and an SAP number on its right Surname and first name of the officer Officer's national identification number Officer's employment number (EC number), expiry date of identity card and signature of officer ZIMRA motto: 'I am here to serve...' If you are in doubt about the authenticity of the officers or their identification cards, please call our toll-free hotline numbers as follows: 0800 4174 or 0800 4185. Please Note: If you are supposed to pay any taxes, do not pay in cash to any ZIMRA official, or to anyone purporting to be from ZIMRA. All tax payments should be made through the various banks with which ZIMRA has opened Commissioner General's accounts for revenue deposits. +++++ 7) GUARDIAN ANGELS OF EDITH DULY NURSING HOME THIS WEEK FOOD 4 HOMES GEES FRUIT & VEG KERSHELMAR LOBELS BREAD LOSCON NETCONNECT MRS STEYNBURG PETRA PRIMARY SCHOOL WHITESTONE PRIMARY SCHOOL CORA WILLIAMS ++++++ From: Island Hospice byoislandhospice@gmail.com Subject: Friends of Bulawayo Island Hospice for Week 4 November 2013 Date: December 2, 2013 at 2:32:40 PM GMT+2 To: Morning Mirror magskriel@mac.com Good day to you Please include this in your next morning mirror for us.
