ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M. +++++++ Where the needs of the world and your talents cross, there lies your vocation. - Aristotle - ++++ The world is fed by our willingness to weep for the impossibility of being human. And the irony is, weeping for the impossibility of being human is human. - Stephen Jenkinson - +++++++ I realize there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they're experts at letting things go. - Jeffrey McDaniel - ++++++ EDITORIAL DEAR & GLORIOUS PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST I use the term "pathological optimist" with the utmost warmth, respect and admiration. David Coltart refers to himself as a pathological optimist too, although always with that wry, lop-sided smile. Still very much alive and kicking, and ready for his next challenge, is the Honourable Senator David Coltart - Minister of Sports, Arts, Education and Culture, lawyer, human rights activist, Christian Leader, founding member of MDC, Member of Parliament and Member of the House of Assembly. David Coltart - Devoted husband and father and friend. Friend to millions of Zimbabweans who have followed him, watched him, listened to him and loved him. Mr Coltart "lost" his seat narrowly in the 2013 Zimbabwean "elections" along with many worthy candidates, and hundreds of thousands of people in his constituency and indeed in the entire world, were absolutely gutted. Countless Zimbabweans home and abroad, will always remember David as having represented his country with great integrity and pride and he has left a fine legacy that will be in place for a very long time. Rick, Robyn and my own memories of David include so many that were fun, so many that were extraordinarily traumatic, tense and frightening and so many that were supportive and encouraging. I will always treasure the sight of David, meandering along the road outside our home, hat and sunglasses in place, running shoes afoot, putting himself in danger to see that our family was safe, after my spell in Sauerstown Police Station. David Coltart has assured us all, that having been in this struggle for 30 years to bring democracy to Zimbabwe, he is not going to end that now. This long, hard struggle to bring freedom, transparency, decency, tolerance and democracy to Zimbabwe has been dealt a major set back this past week, but his determination to work towards achieving that vision for our beloved Zimbabwe, is undiminished. This is the perennial hope and determination that he takes into Zimbabwe's future. We salute you David Coltart, for your strength, integrity, courage and determination against amazing odds. "The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just"- Abraham Lincoln +++++ 2) Events All Saints & St Mowden (Riverside) Anglican Parish invites to their Fundraising Dinner Dance.

Dave on 23O899 or Maggi on 242235 ++++++ World Rhino Day: an Update from Dambari Wildlife Trust World Rhino Day, 22 September, is on our doorstep and this year Zimbabwe looks set to mark this important day in style. In fact it should be called World Rhino Month as so many events are planned throughout September to celebrate the rhino and its importance to our country. The National Rhino Day parade will this year be held in Bulawayo, on Saturday 21 September, after being showcased for the last two years in Harare. The parade promises to provide an entertaining morning in the city with Twalumba (the life size rhino made from tin cans) leading the procession from town to Centenary Park where there will be singing, dancing, art displays and speeches from the Minister of Environment, Director of National Parks and local dignitaries. The parade will raise awareness of the plight of Zimbabwe's rhinos and reach many people who may not otherwise hear about rhino - a unique endangered species whose importance has been recognised both internationally and nationally, where it is a special part of our natural heritage and a popular tourist attraction. Dambari Wildlife Trust is holding its second annual Rhino Day golf competition on Saturday 21st September at Bulawayo Golf Club. This year there will be a floating trophy in addition to the usual prizes and raffle. There will be some quirky approaches to the holes that will test the skill of the golfers. All proceeds will go to the work the Trust is doing for wildlife in the Matopos Hills. Further information is posted on our Facebook page and in this edition of Morning Mirror. Matopos Rhino Initiative Trust is, on Sunday 22 September, holding a fundraiser at the Sandy Spruit entrance to the Matopos National Park. There will be fun runs and rides as well as a spit roast. The Trust is aiming to raise funds for another 10 km of fencing for the Matopos Rhino Intensive Protection Zone which will clearly demarcate the area and assist Parks in protecting the rhino. Companies who sponsor a kilometre have the option to advertise their name and logo along the fence. The Midwest Rhinos Cricket team will, on the 28th and 29th, be holding their annual Wicked Cricket tournament in Kwekwe. The Rhinos, Kwekwe Sports Club and the Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy work together to raise local awareness of rhino issues through sports events. Parks and Wildlife Management Authority in conjunction with Mukuvisi Woodlands, other wildlife NGOs and the Lowveld Conservancies are also planning World Rhino Day activities to mark the day in and around Harare, Masvingo and Chiredzi.

French film with English subtitles "Historically fascinating and musically enchanting, this dramatic amalgam of research and artistic licence takes us on the road with the Mozart family in the 1760s... Gilded authentic locations and restrained performances provide an effective setting for the theory that Nannerl's talent was stifled by conventions... The lovely speculative score makes Nannerl's embattled creativity sing out after all these years." [Time Out] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] MOZART: COSÌ FAN TUTTE Friday 16 August Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. The plot of "Così fan tutte" revolves around a wager: the cynical Don Alfonso claims that a faithful woman is a mythical creature and when the two handsome soldiers object that their fiancees will always be faithful, he bets that they will be unable to resist the wooing of two strangers once the men are called off to war... Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval. AFRICA Thursdays 22 & 29 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. This BBC series narrated by David Attenborough continues. The fifth programme features the Sahara (22 August) and the final episode looks to 'The Future' Admission: $2.00 [free to film members] THE GHOST Thursday 22 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Based on the bestseller by Robert Harris, 'The Ghost' is an edgy, atmospheric and enthralling thriller from Academy Award-winning director Roman Polanski. Following the tragic death of his ghost writer, British ex-prime minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan) hires a journalist (Ewan McGregor) to complete his memoirs. No sooner has the new Ghost Writer arrived at the Lang's isolated island retreat to begin the job, when Lang is accused of being involved in war crimes during his time in office, and a huge political storm breaks. The Ghost is quickly drawn into the political and sexual affairs at play in the house but, more disturbing still, as he researches his subject, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor had stumbled on a dark secret in Adam Lang's past. Suddenly, it begins to seem likely that his untimely death might not have been an accident after all.... 'Masterfully orchestrated suspense drama with topical political references. Alexandre Desplat's score establishes a sense of dread from the opening scene and Polanski takes care of the rest' [Maltin's Movie Guide] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] VERDI: DON CARLO Friday 23 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. In the opinion of many, 'Don Carlo' is Verdi's greatest and grandest opera, a story of love, separation and politics in Spain during the 16th century. Don Carlo met and fell in love with the French Princess Elisabeth but instead of becoming his wife, by the terms of a treaty between France and Spain she was compelled to marry his widowed father, Philip II. Carlo's love for his stepmother and liberal instincts result in a gripping and powerful drama which is compounded by court intrigue and the power of the Inquisition. Pavarotti is Don Carlo with an all-star cast from La Scala, Milan. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval. +++++++ 3) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES ++++ 4) Congratulations ++++ 5) Condolences/In Memorium/Wreath Funds CONDOLENCES So sad to hear of the death of Faye Loxton in Cape Town.

Treat yourself, or a loved one to the benefits of glycerine soap. We have three fragrant choices, ORANGE & SANDLEWOOD, LEMON & VANILLA or HONEY at only $1.50 per 100g bar. Get your skin summer ready! Are you suffering from dry, itchy skin even though you are applying lotion everyday? The soap you buy at your local supermarket may be the cause of your never ending dry skin. 'Soap' as we know it is actually made of petroleum by-products and is in fact detergent which may have your skin tight, dry and itchy. Not only does regular bar soap contain lye and petroleum, they also contain drying alcohols. Glycerine soap is the answer. Glycerine is a humectant, drawing moisture to your skin, allowing it to remain hydrated and soft. Beyond hydrating your skin, glycerine is also known to be a natural remedy for yeast and fungal infections, such as eczema and psoriasis. It is especially good for sensitive skins. Glycerin soap does not contain synthetic ingredients that will cause skin irritations. It keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy and soft. Treat yourself, or a loved one to the benefits of glycerine soap. We have three fragrant choices, ORANGE & SANDLEWOOD, LEMON & VANILLA or HONEY at only $1.50 per 100g bar. Get your skin summer ready!
