Chloraseptic Antiseptic Throat Spray for "Fast relief, Real Fast" !! Vicks First Defence Nasal spray "Fights cold germs before they can take hold" !! FIRST DEFENCE ! "Get that cold before it gets you" !! Theraflue Night Tome "for Severe Colds" to knock you out cold during the small hours, Theraflue Daytime for Severe Colds so that you can get around during the day without a nosebag and a fistful of soggy tissues. I had every analgesic, bronchiodilator and decongestant known to man, my suitcase fairly clanking with phials and vials !! With a smug self satisfied feeling, I covetously carried my unguents, elixirs and embrocations back home, safe in the knowledge that no darn bug would get the better of me this winter !!! Only to find Heehoo a complete bundle of germs after 24 hours in the plane air conditioning and seriously in need of my precious but private dispensary !! I was caught out completely for offering him the local cold-caps and flumel, Choats Extract of Lettuce and Pynstop..... and it was only after he got me in a vice like Half Nelson that I reluctantly agreed to do the ethical thing and share !! Dosing himself liberally with my secret stash, dispensing my cache of cachets with gay abandon, he soon felt on top of the world leaving me with naught but a panacea of protestations !! Hot on Heehoos heels Charlie our faithful retainer then developed the sniffles and he, after casting longing glances at my private pharmacy, forced my better nature to allow him some of my dastardly drugs, and then of course it was all over. Mother Hubbards muti cupboard was totally bare !! And so back to basics it will have to be - if YOU have a cold - don't come anywhere near me !! Or I shall have to resort to those age old remedies that "Mother Used to Make " Disprin ......... Mother swore that Disprin would cure everything including warts ..... Friars Balsam ....... hang your aching head over a basin of steaming Friars Balsam, under a towel and that stuffy nose is unstuffed completely. Cough muti, made from freshly stewed prickly pears !! And Cream of Tartare from the Baobab Tree ground into a fine powder for a stuffy nose !! SNIFF SNORT SNUFFLE COUGH SNEEZE AAAAAA TISCHOO ............ +++++++++++ TOUR DE FALCON 2006 This was held on Sunday 2nd July, 2006, and as with the previous events it was accident free!! As usual, the Bulawayo public and companies were not found wanting and came forward with their usual generosity. Without them the Tour de Falcon could never be the great success that it is. Drury Wickman sponsored the Falcon Team events, Ascot & Hillside Spar contributed enormously and Racing Snake Cycles also came to the party with considerable sponsorship. We are most grateful to these three main sponsors, and a very big Thank You from Falcon College. Then onto people and companies who gave cash to go towards our prizes they were Jeremy & Felicity Vaughan, Anon Parent, B.K.Cawood (Pvt) Ltd, Deidre Adams, Syd & Kathy Versfeld, Tuys & Merilyn de Vries, Footwear & Rubber Ind, Wholesome Wholesalers, Solomons Supermarket, Fence Africa, Cattleman Steakhouse & Knight Frank thank you to one and all. Also who gave in some way or the other and made our task of making our Tour de Falcon easier were Pro Signs, Grillos Restaurant, Morning Mirror, Datlabs, Lobels Biscuits, Land Guest Lodge & our two Botswana families the David-Andersons & Grahams thank you to you all. And now onto the BIG day. Saturday was freezing cold and drizzling with rain. Everyone at Falcon was very concerned as to whether or not our race was going to go ahead ! However the weather was perfect not even a breeze we could not have asked for a better day. The morning started with with breakfast ! The smell of borewors cooked on gas braais could be smelt miles away, people started to arrive and many started to eat the delicious breakfast. Cyclists started arriving, in an array of colours and the outfits were amazing everyone was dressing the part ! Ascot car park filled to capacity with bikes, riders, cars, trucks, buses and Mars Ambulance was there again to ensure that if there was a mishap the experts could attend to it. We also had Falcon College Ambulance out with Dave Fleming and Sister Watson at the helm, then there was the lead car ably driven by Graham Armstrong who lead the way for our cyclists ensuring that the road ahead would be clear for the mass that was about to hit that road with 447 riders ! AMAZING FANTASTIC É a sight to behold - stand back Tour de France!!. TS Matabele with Peter Rollason and his Cadets with red flags flapping were out early ready to man the intersections and advise traffic that they must travel with caution. Bulawayo BMX Assoc were also there to assist with their PA system with music blaring and many announcements the cyclists started to get into their pens with muscles flexing, gloves & helmets poised to go. The Johannesburg road was a sea of bikes, amazing colours like a thousand brightly coloured Licra Lizards, from little children, teenagers, ladies, men and the social guy who was there just for the fun and maybe to work off the night before. Then there were those Elite, ultra fit, serious but great sportsmen. There were cyclists from all over Zimbabwe we even had them from South Africa and Botswana. The finish line was a welcoming sight As you turned that last corner you could see ahead the banners green and red up head all welcoming you to ÒSPARÓ ÔGOOD FOR YOU finish line a big thanks to Garth Steinbach. Now they were all in, and all hobbled down to the Bushtick where Frank was playing his tunes and the Craft Fair was buzzing, thousands of people all over the place all rushing for that tent selling refreshments. As the sun began to get lower in the sky the riders and supporters continued to sit and relax, not wanting to leave that beautiful place watching people relaxed in front of the Bushtick, talking, laughing, smiling and congratulating each other and saying they had a wonderful day spent with the Falcon College family, with our Falcon flying high ... until next years Tour de Falcon - see you there. *************** For a copy of Yvonne's full report please e mail +++++++++++++ MORE ON PAPER CLIPS !

So, please every person who reads the morning mirror lets get the ball rolling and assist Chantell and Trevor to "SAVE THEIR PRECIOUS CHILD" Kind regards, Mrs. van der Merwe +++++++++++ APPEAL TO SAVE OUR COELACANTH Did you know that Bulawayo has its very own Coelacanth at the Natural History Museum ? Do you know what a Coelacanth is? It is a prehistoric fish once thought to have been extinct for millions of years, until in 1938 a live specimen was caught near East London in South Africa. The Coelacanth currently in our museum came from the Comoros in 1978. This fish has been described as a 'living fossil' and is very rare; most Museums around the world only having plaster casts or fibreglass models. We have the real deal: a preserved Coelacanth literally in the flesh! Unfortunately the original tank it was displayed in was damaged and for the last 15 years or so our precious specimen has been tucked away in the basement. The temporary tank in which the Coelacanth is presently housed is rusting and it is possible that should nothing be done that the Coelacanth itself may deteriorate. Our museum is fortunate to have qualified and capable staff. It also has a suitable display tank to re-home the Coelacanth. However to successfully preserve and display this fish approximately 400 litres of Isopropyl Alcohol is required. The cost of this is around $400 million dollars. Whilst one could argue that this isnt our problem - surely some of our tax dollars could be used ? - we all know the reality is sadly different. National Museums and Monuments are underfunded and if we dont save OUR Coelacanth, nobody else will. I am appealing to the public: please help to put our Coelacanth back on display. If you can help please contact Lara Knight at servair@mweb.co.zw or telephone 241151. A little from many will go a long way - Thank you to all who have responded so far. ++++++++ 1) BULAWAYO FLORAL GROUP - Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday 2nd August 2006 at 2.30pm in the Church of Ascension Hall.

This has meant that there are many partners, finances, wives and families in and around Bulawayo having to cope without the support and companionship of their partners/husbands. We are trying to set up a network of support by establishing a database of all "grass widows". We would like to try and set up a "sisterhood" of support for all those who find themselves lonely especially over weekends that seem to go on forever. By doing so, we hope to become proactive rather than reactive in the situation that we find ourselves in and to show our men that they have one less thing to worry about. By sending your details (name, contact telephone number and e-mail address) to either of the e-mail addresses below, you are indicating that you are willing to become a beacon of support to other women who are in the same situation as you. This could mean hosting a "bring-a- plate" tea at your house on a Sunday afternoon, or pulling together to take the kids out on a day trip to Chipangali or going to the Matopos on a picnic, bring-and-braais, establishing bookclubs, wine evenings; the possibilities are endless ... Depending on the response that we receive, we will make contact with all those who express an interest in this idea. We would also like to point out that this network is not limited to hunters' wives but to ALL singe moms/wives who are looking for companionship and support and to find things to do with their kids over weekends, even if this means your kids being entertained whilst you take the time for a quick cuppa with grown-up company! Finally, we take this opportunity to wish our loved ones all the best in their new ventures. May they receive the recognition that they deserve. God bless and come home soon!

I remember seeing petitions all over town when there were rates increases etc so why not start a campaign against unscheduled power cuts ? HEATHER +++++++++ HINTS Please inform your emailing lists to switch of their security systems. If your battery has to support your unit it will deteriorate very rapidly if it is discharged completely after 8 hours. This will shorten your battery life considerably. Also the power surge can mess up your alarm system. It makes one wonder why we bothered with them, since that is the time you really need them. Switch off freezers and fridges, the power surge can mess up your compressor. Sometimes you may think your geyser elements have given in, find out whether it is not a ripple switch, which is located in your Zesa box. Zesa are the only people who are permitted to switch this back on. Switch off your borehole if it is running during load shedding. Your motor is expensive to replace. I have inexpensive solar lights which I recharge during the daylight hours. I can not read by them, but they light up a room sufficiently for me to locate candles and matches, and the furniture. I have also replaced most of my globes with power saving globes - even my exterior lights. Machinery on stand-by , TV, Computers etc all use power. Switch them off. Pancakes/Crepes (no sugar) are probably one of the best quick meals I know. Fill them with any cold left-over meats, boiled eggs, salads. The fillings can also be heated up if electricity is available. Crepes will keep several days if packed in air proof containers, or prepare batter and keep in fridge, very quick to cook after power comes back on. For dessert: Add a bit of sugar to the mixture, cook and keep, to serve roll up with a little sugar and cinnamon, sprinkled before rolling and top with cinnamon and sugar and cream or ice cream if desired. I also slice banana into a crepe. Regards, Tish Di Prinzio La Gondola Restaurant +++++++++++++++ LET'S GET THE BALL ROLLING!

PHONE MRS ESAT 67641 60 MILLION ZIMBABWE DOLLARS. +++++++++ TIDBITS According to the New Economics Foundation (NEF), the tiny island of Vanuatu is the happiest country on the planet, while no less than nine Latin American countries feature in the top ten. Vanuatu, an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean consisting of about 80 islands, topped the Happy Planet Index (HPI) after ecological footprint, life-satisfaction and life expectancy were taken into account. The island nation scored 68.3 on the HPI, just ahead of Colombia (67.2), Costa Rica (66) and Dominica (64.6) in the list. According to the CIA, most Vanuatu islanders "do not have access to a reliable supply of potable water" and have to put up with tropical cyclones and volcanic eruption, yet they are apparently more than twice as happy as the USA. European nations fared less well on the happiness scale, with Austria the highest nation in the list with an HPI of 48.8 in 61st place. And the UK was even more discontent according to the list, coming in 108th place, behind Nepal, Libya and Georgia. The US is unhappier still, being named as the 150th happiest country out of 178 with a HPI of just 28.8. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zimbabwe, was named as the least happy country with a score of 16.6, just below Swaziland and Burundi. ++++++++++ Word for Zimbabwe 6/1/06 Received June 1st, 2006, London, England. Dr. Mary Craig. Darkness, deep darkness covers Zimbabwe, but in you I have placed My light and I will send the fire of purging to Zimbabwe to purge the land and cleanse it and to sanctify My people and draw up out of the ashes, a people to My praise whom I can bless and prosper. I will cut them off from lawlessness, from their lawless deeds and evil wickedness and I will turn their hearts to worship Me and serve Me in spirit and truth. I will cut them off from ancestral witchcraft and the ways of the ancients. I will silence the mouths of the graves. I will drive out demons and devils and lead the people into truth and out of fear, doubt, despair and debt. They will honour Me in lawfulness that I might bless them and I will open the heavens over My people and it will be seen that I AM the Possessor of heaven and earth, their shield and exceeding great reward, El Shaddai, the Almighty. I AM and there is no other. What Do You See as You Look for My Appearing? 6/9/06 O watchman on the wall, what do you see as you look for My appearing? Do you see lightning flashing across the sky? Do you see a thief in the night? Do you see every eye seeing Me? Do you see Me coming in the clouds of glory with the saints, on a white horse, how? How shall it be? How shall all the scriptures be fulfilled perfectly? Yet I tell you that every word of God is true and it will all happen just as the scriptures prophesy, because the scriptures cannot be broken, not by any devil or any man. Do you believe that I am He, the True Vine, the Resurrection and the Life, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the Alpha and Omega, that before Abraham was, I AM? I am the Way the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me. I am the Door, the only way to the Father. And I am coming for a holy Bride. Come out and be separate. Come out of hypocrisy, out of pretence, out of perversion, pride, the passions of the flesh. Come out of the sin that so easily entangles and be sanctified. Great change is in the wind. Great change. Those who thought they knew Me, who have done thus and so in My Name will discover I never knew them. A shaking, a purging, a purifying comes and I will know My own and they will know Me. My own. My own. I know them, each once, and My sheep hear My voice and follow Me. These follow the Lamb wherever He goes and I will lead them to Myself. You Must Learn My Ways 6/20/06 Soon I will judge the Great Whore, for her time is at hand that I should judge her according to My Word. And as for you, My people, you must no more bear the mark of the beast, nor will you soon be able to conduct business according to the system of the world, but you must learn and do according to Me, buying from Jehovah as I say in My Word. The old ways, the ways of the world, will not work in the lives of My own, but you shall seek Me to find Me and you shall come to draw of the Living Waters fully without cost. Learn of Me, My ways, that you may live and not die. And if you know that I AM the Bread of Life and of Me and in Me are true riches, if you know My Word to bring My Word to Me as you would money to the bank and have faith in Me to fulfil My Word, you shall live and not die. Joshua 1:8, Proverbs 3. Find out the ways of My kingdom, how to buy and how to sell, how to give, how to receive, how to bless, how to be blessed.... For the time is short. And soon I will manifest Myself in glory to all nations and I will judge the nations and will I find faith on the earth in the hearts of My people? How shall you then live? www.marycraig.org
