EDITORIAL The Face we show the World How can we function normally When the news from home is so bad The burdens we carry Are hidden By our work a day woes And when they look at us They cannot possibly know That the facade we present masks the house of concerns with in For how can we be at ease How can we act normally When violence has once again erupted at home The images filtering through are frightening and disturbing, But somehow we are so detached Like watching a movie And yet the places are familiar Streets in our hometowns, We cannot turn away, The fear on the faces is a feeling we have known And the oppression That weighs the spirit down Waiting in the dark For the unknown, Yes, we are safe and free To go about our business here But our families and friends are not When they unleash the dogs, The artillery, The abusive hard hand of the regime, Where the rule of law is blurred by the brute wielding the weapon, And all it takes is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time And you are gone, Wiped away for nothing. The spark that lights the flame, The edginess of the game, African politics, But the world doesn't care about another Rwanda, Uganda, Congo, If a few people are brutally murdered At the hands of a savage regime, Cyndi Barker ++++ Watchdog !! EDITH DULY RESIDENTIAL AND CARE HOME Time and time again the people of our beloved country have been pitched against the most trying conditions and this last week must surely have been akin to the worst of times. But, true to the spirit of the mighty warrior, they showed their strength, loyalty and commitment. Most of those who were able to attend on Monday, chose to sleep on site until Wednesday evening. Not only did they cope on the day shift, but they took it in turns to cover the night shift as well! The Home ran smoothly and without incidence throughout the troubled week You are an amazing team and you make us so proud! Thank you. The Residents, Edith Duly Board and Leila Hunt (Administrator) ++++ 2) Notices and Events THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO ALL PERFORMANCES IN THE ROBERT SIBSON HALL THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO ALL EVENTS IN THE ROBERT SIBSON HALL Thursday 24 January at 5.30 p.m. Dynasties 1: Chimpanzee David Attenborough's Dynasties takes you deeper into the lives of five of the world's most celebrated and endangered animals than ever before: Chimpanzee, Emperor Penguin, Lion, Painted Wolf and Tiger. Five extraordinary animals in heroic battles against the odds, Dynasties, the most intimate and intense stories of their kind ever told. '"Dynasties" just goes on impressing until the world runs out of adjectives. The emperor penguin show was elegiac, majestic and tragic in equal measure.'' [Observer] 'It was visually stunning...' [The Mail on Sunday] Admission: $2.00 [free to Film members] Thursday 24 January at 7.15 p.m. The Crown - Series 2 The second season of The Crown begins with British soldiers fighting an illegal war in Egypt and ends with the assassination of President Kennedy and the downfall of the Queen's third Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, after a devastating scandal. 'While ardent monarchists might bristle at the way this is going, for the rest of us it's getting better and better.' [The Times] 'Crucially, Claire Foy as Elizabeth is quite beyond outstanding.' [Observer] 'A triumph.' [Hollywood Reporter] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Friday 25 January at 7.00 p.m. Three Ballets by Sir Frederick Ashton Carriages: 9.45 p.m. Three contrasting ballets by The Royal Ballet's Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton: The Dream is an enchanting adaptation of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' to music by Mendelssohn. Symphonic Variations is an early Ashton masterpiece, and a breathtaking, abstract work on the beauty of pure movement. Marguerite and Armand is a tragic love story of great lyric beauty. 'Saying farewell to the Royal Ballet after 23 years, Yanowsky shows her quality as an actress, a dancer and a star. There's a grand sweep to her movement... It's a very moving goodbye.' [The Independent] 'The company's founder choreographer Frederick Ashton is celebrated in a sensational triple bill that captures his spirit and style.'

Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Friday 1 February at 7.00 p.m. Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini Hector Berlioz, perhaps the greatest of French composers, died 150 years ago on 8 March 1869 and will be celebrated throughout the year! 'Benvenuto Cellini' is a wonderful work combining romance, excitement, violence, comedy and spectacle. Returning to it years after initial production debacles, Berlioz said that he would 'never again find such verve and Cellinian impetuosity, nor such a variety of ideas'. 'Elder conducts a thrillingly vibrant and entirely idiomatic account..Gilliam's extraordinary eye for visual fantasy, cartoonish comedy and endless japes, meanwhile, matches the music surprisingly well..Osborn has all the vocal verve and dash to make the devil-may-care sculptor the constant centre of attention. Mariangela Sicilia uses her fearless, technically brilliant vocalism to sustain his beloved Teresa's vibrant personality.. Altogether a musical and visual treat. [Opera] 'I don't think the musical performances, soloists, chorus, orchestra and directing could possibly be bettered.....One of the best opera productions I have ever seen.'

My research into this has yielded very little until an acquaintance of mine from Zimbabwe suggested I contact you. Of you would be able to provide any photos of the castle, stories or memories of people who may have seen it, visited it or know of its fate I would be extremely grateful. Yours Sincerely A J Colby-Derwent colby.derwent@gmail.com ++++ I am ex Bulawayo and worked at How Mine for a few years before leaving Bulawayo for England in 2001.Like most people who have lived and worked in Bulawayo I really do miss Bulawayo even after being in England for 18 years. My reason for contacting you is this when in Bulawayo I had a recipe for homemade eye drops it was very basic and used distilled water and a very mild powdered acid which was added to the water in a very small quantity, it was really cheap to make and worked really well. I think I got the recipe out of the Bulawayo Sunday newspaper but I am not sure. Would it be possible to ask your readers if any of them know this recipe and for them to let me know the recipe I would really appreciate them letting me have it, Alistair Cathie shamwari10@aol.com ++++ 20 ) SITUATIONS VACANT AND WANTED SEEKING AN AU PAIR Live out female au pair required to assist a 12 year old girl.
