Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home. ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++ 1) Editorial THIRD WORLDER IN A FIRST WORLD!! How lucky I have been to be able to spend so much time with my first grandson in the USA. It has been a learning curve for both of us!! I must admit I miss HeeHoo's strong arms when he goes back to bulawayo because this Wee Boy of mine is no longer Wee. He is a bruiser and I have great difficulty getting him up and down these steep and numerous stairs!! I have had to come to grips with quite a few first world pleasures and one of them has been the terminology. To my gorgeous American Family a pram is a stroller, a push chair is a buggy, a nappy is a diaper, and a dummy is a pacifier!! As for a car boot Well it's called a 'trunk' here.... I made the mistake of saying to an Uber driver, when he was loading my groceries, that his 'boot was really clean and tidy'. Well the poor man was so confused, he gazed at his boots ( the ones on his feet) in perplexed silence, for some time!! Americans look at me askance when I says things like 'muti', 'mooshy' and 'lekker', my family refuses to allow me to use the term 'just now' . The first thing HeeHoo ever does in a home is to install a bird feeder, but he did not take into account the tenacity of the American Squirrel!! These obdurate creatures can conquer any so called 'squirrel proof' bird feeders, especially our resident pair!! It's a glorious time of the year in Georgia, every tree, every shrub, every plant is blossoming into spring, the colors are heavenly. Peach trees abound, the Dogwood trees are laden with blossom, the azaleas have tiny buds just waiting for the right moment to burst forth, purple azaleas, white azaleas, fuchsia azaleas! Camellias are in abundance with their deep magenta blossoms. I watch with awe from the upstairs window, the courteous behavior of the vehicle drivers here. The yellow school buses are sacrosanct, one does not pass them going either way under any circumstances, the drivers here are fabulous and when they see you walking with a stroller, or a dog, or just walking, they make a wide arc to give you space. (Unlike certain Bulawayo drivers who like to see if they can hit you with their wing mirrors!!) The dogs here too are beautifully behaved, none of this rushing out of their yards to attack!! None of the yards have gates or fences and one seldom encounters a dog unless being walked on a lead. Instead of gates, walls and fences, each yard with a dog has an invisible fence and dogs are trained by high pitched noises, or alternately gentle electric shocks, to stay within their confines. So much for my ramblings, their are diapers to be changed!! ++++ BULAWAYO WATCHDOG. BULAWAYO DAMS UPDATE. Status at 8am 27 Feb 2017: Dam % Inflow this season ==== = =============== Insiza101.15% 101.78 million m3 Inyankuni 75.00% 53.67 million m3 -- Lower Ncema 100.00% 14.33 million m3 -- Upper Ncema 100.00% 43.00 million m3 -- 4 BCC dams are Umzingwane 99.80% 41.22 million m3 --- 89.3% full Mtshabezi 100.73% 26.70 million m3 Overall 96.00% 280.70 million m3 Note: Umzingwane started spilling this morning at about 9 am. Inyankuni gained 12.4 million m3 in the last week, just from the post Dineo rainfall. It is just possible (although quite incredible) that it will spill during this rainy season - the last time it spilled was in 1981. In Jan, it had inflows of 19.6 million m3, taking it from 11.8% to 36.1%. Feb saw inflows of 33 million m3 (18 m m3 from Dineo alone) and will prob end the month on 77%, leaving it needing 18.6 million m3 to fill it up. The catchment is so wet that even relatively light rain such as we have been having this past week generates considerable run-off. More such rain is forecast after a dryish couple of days - Thursday it starts again. So we now have 5 years of water comfortably, assuming minimal inflows in the next 4 rainy seasons. ++++ 2) Notices and Events We're excited to announce a first for Bulawayo...Paul Hubbard will over the next two months conduct a lively series of historical dinner talks, and it seems fitting that all proceeds will go to the elderly, the people who represent our history and yet are so often deeply disadvantaged. The first of the talks, delivered over a sumptuous two-course dinner, will be held on March 8 at the Academy of Music starting at 6pm. Tickets are $25 per head and available from the Academy (cash or swipe machine) or by calling/whatsapping Violette on 0772851609 (Ecocash, cash, rtgs), with all proceeds going to Dete and Entembeni Old Age Homes. The first in the series is Lobengula's Bulawayos...and the plural "Bulawayos" is no typo! Paul will take you back in time to the beginning of our rich and vibrant history, to Lobengula's royal cities, and help you discover why Bulawayo is truly the City of Kings and Queens. ++++ A World Day of Prayer Service will be held at Hillside Methodist Church (cnr Percy Avenue & Limerick Road Hillside) Saturday 4th March at 14:30 (2:30pm). The theme this year is "Am I Being Unfair to You " and is written by the Christian women in the Philippines. The message will be given to us by Rev Lydia Neshangwe. There will be a freewill offering for the charities supported by the WDP in Zimbabwe. You are invited to attend and please invite as many as you think may be interested too.

SEE YOU THERE!!! ++++ PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY THURSDAY 2 MARCH RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' originated from George Lucas' desire to create a modern version of the film serials of the 1930s and 1940s and the result was one of the highest-grossing films ever made. Set in the late 1930s, the film is the story of archaeologist Indiana Jones hired by the US government and pitted in a race against time to locate the Ark of the Covenant, whose supernatural powers, legend says, can wipe out entire armies,.before it falls into the hands of the Nazis who seek to use the Biblical artifact's power as a means for world domination. 'One of the most deliriously funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made.' [The New York Times] 'Steven Spielberg's rollicking adventure yarn still looks buoyant and dashing after 30 years.' [Guardian] '"Raiders" is a classic and repeated viewings, especially when presented properly on the big screen, only reinforce this further.' [Cinema Autopsy] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. FRIDAY 3 MARCH LEONCAVALLO: PAGLIACCI / PUCCINI: GIANNI SCHICCHI ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M A double-bill featuring Placido Domingo as both tenor and baritone! 'Pagliacci' uses the play-within-a play device to explore the classic operatic themes of passion, adultery, jealousy and revenge. Zeffirelli's production is set in a contemporary urban environment, with fire eaters, children, animals, jugglers and acrobats. Domingo, showing that he is arguably the finest actor-tenor of our time, gives a definitive performance as Canio. 'Gianni Schicchi', by contrast, is a sparkling if black comedy and this production is by Woody Allen, the only opera he has ever staged, a hilarious parody of classical Italian cinema stereotypes with Domingo in the title role. 'One for the record books. "Gianni Schicchi :is a wonderful romp led by Domingo's physical and vocal presence. [Los Angeles Daily News] As funny as anything I've ever seen on the operatic stage. I laughed out loud watching this ["Gianni Schicchi"]; it was hilarious and Domingo was fabulous. [Amazon.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) WEDNESDAY 8 MARCH HISTORY DINNER ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC AT 6.00 P.M. A first for Bulawayo! Paul Hubbard will over the next two months conduct a lively series of historical dinner talks, and it seems fitting that all proceeds will go to the elderly, the people who represent our history and yet are so often deeply disadvantaged. The first of the talks is 'Lobengula's Bulawayos'...and the plural "Bulawayos" is no typo! Paul will take you back in time to the beginning of our rich and vibrant history, to Lobengula's royal cities, and help you discover why Bulawayo is truly the City of Kings and Queens.There will be a sumptuous two-course dinner,and tickets are $25 per head, available from the Academy (cash or swipe machine) or by calling/whatsapping Violette on 0772851609 (Ecocash, cash, rtgs), with all proceeds going to Dete and Entembeni Old Age Homes. THURSDAY 9 MARCH NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.A screening of Nicholas and Alexandra commemorates the outbreak of the Russian Revolution on 8 March 1917. The film begins with the birth of Prince Alexis, who suffers from haemophilia. This seems to be relieved by the care of the mystical holy man Rasputin, but his growing influence causes increasing discontent and, along with Russia's entry into the First World War, ultimately leads to the outbreak of revolution and a bloody aftermath. 'Nicholas and Alexandra boasts terrific performances and gorgeous production design.' [The Guardian] 'Five stars! This is an epic depiction of the tragic reign of the last Tsar and his family.' [Rotten Tomatoes] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. FRIDAY 10 MARCH GOUNOD: MIREILLE ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M. In 1859, a young Provencal poet, Frederic Mistral, wrote his masterpiece, Mireille, an epic love poem. Gounod read the work shortly afterwards and was charmed by its originality. The result was an opera which one critic has said 'may be Gounod's freshest and most charming, full of warmth and sunlight, and brimming with good tunes.' 'This is beautifully done, with the cast looking as if they were straight out of films and singing superbly. Inva Mula's pretty heroine moves appealingly from sparkle to pathos... her fresh soprano blends well with her handsome lover Charles Castronovo's lyrical tenor.' [BBC Music Magazine *****] 'The scene is so realistic that one half-wonders if a real cornfield was dug up and planted on the Palais Garnier stage... everything feels true to the opera's pastoral spirit. The musical performance is equally fine.' [Gramophone Magazine - DVD of the Month] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++ 3) Congratulations ++++ 4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Fund ++++ 5) Roses And Raspberries Bulawayo Island Hospice had a street collection on the 25th February 2017 and an amount of $723.95 was raised.

For enquiries or bookings phone Margie Bernard on 242979 or 0775-043983. ++++ 8) Bulawayo News BULAWAYO PUBLICITY ASSOCIATION The rain we are having is a two-edged sword in that it has caused the potholes to deepen and widen and increase and there are pools of water on the sides of the roads, so please drivers, have consideration and patience when motorists impinge on your lane to avoid these. Do not hoot them or try to overtake - you may be in the same position one day. Reading is one of life's simple pleasures and is crucial to the academic development of young minds and their integration into society. The Bulawayo Public Library in Fort Street provides facilities to help students. It has a large stock of new textbooks in all subjects, a study room for learners and an internet cafe with Wifi. The Ascot Library, a branch of the library in the city is very popular with children as it has a good stock of children's books for all ages, as well as adult fiction. If you are interested in reading biographies or autobiographies of well known personalities in the past, the Vigne Bookshop and Library is the place to go. Mona Lisa Saloon, in 14th Avenue, just off Fife Street, has had a complete facelift and looks so clean and bright and attractive. An added amenity is the beauty salon, which has recently been installed. Tel (09) 66127. TRAVEL, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY The Cut Hotel and nearby Orange Grove Motel, off the Harare-Chirundu Highway on the way to Chinoyi, en route to Kariba are two-star accommodation establishments with three star facilities. The rooms are all en suite with 7 TV channels and wireless internet access. A very important point for tourists is that Visa and Master cards are accepted, as well as Rand and Botswana Pula. The Orange Grove Motel has an on-site fitness centre and beauty parlour and spa, as well as a swimming pool. The Bulawayo Publicity Association keeps a supply of their brochures. According to Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe figures 20 scheduled airlines including cargo carriers operated into Zimbabwe last year. There is a possibility that two more airlines will be flying into Zimbabwe this year. Both Fastjet and FlyAfrica are keen to start operating into Bulawayo. (Air Zimbabwe flies to Johannesburg on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sunday) Fastjet now has a free baggage allowance of two bags weighing a maximum of 20kg each available on flights between Johannesburg and Harare. The airline's Chief Executive Officer is an ex Air Zimbabwe pilot, and they have always had a good reputation. Passengers at South African airports are advised to beware of trolley operators who demand large amounts of money for pushing their luggage. Passengers are encouraged to use only airport-accredited porters indentified by their orange uniforms with their names and operating number. Interesting facts about airlines and planes. The world's oldest airline is the Dutch carrier KLM which was established in 1919. Qantas invented the business class in 1979. It has a zero fatality safety record. Lights are dimmed in cabins on landing so that if the landing goes badly and the lights fail, passenger's eyes will already be adjusted to the darkness. Airplanes are designed to withstand lightning strikes. The Natural History Museum is open daily from 8a.m to 5 p.m. One of the fascinating exhibits is the Ceolocanth, which is not a fibre glass replica but a genuine fish. It was the second Ceolocanth ever found although pods of them still exist. It was donated to the Museum in the late '70s. Another must to visit is the unique display of all dinosaurs found in Zimbabwe. It is a temporary display and will be moved in about 3 months time, so make a point of visiting it with your children soon. The Bulawayo Publicity Association is 84 years old, but not a dinosaur. It can be said to be a community's single most important promotional and marketing organization, as it represents all components of the city. It is an independent non profit making organization and despite its parlous financial state is doing its utmost to promote Bulawayo as an important historic, cultural and business destination. After all we have two of the worlds UNESCO Heritage Sites, one of the few Railway museums in Southern Africa, a much admired Natural History Museum, an Olympic sized swimming pool which is often used for national, regional and international competitions, as is the Hockey stadium, and an international cricket complex. After many false starts the Association is reviving the producing of a DVD featuring Bulawayo, the Matopos and including Hwange and the Falls to show the international travelers that we are a good reference point to visit the other tourist resorts. The Bulawayo City Council has kindly donated towards the production but we are hoping to source some donations towards the other expenses such as fuel, accommodation, etc. In the meantime we all need to keep our thoughts and words positive because negative thoughts breed negative results. www.bulawayopublicity.com bulawayopublicity@gmail.com Telephone 00 263(9)60867/72969. ++++ 9) Harare And Gweru News ++++ 10) Wining, Dining and Coffee Houses ++++ 11) Catering and Food ++++ 12) Accommodation in South Africa Polokwane Affordable Overnight Accommodation Biddy and Gerhard invite you to make yourself at home at their Affordable Self-catering Overnight Accommodation, which is situated in a beautiful garden and ideally based for visitors passing through Polokwane or shopping here.
