Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL Cod Liver Oil Memories When I look at the plethora of drugs and remedies in the pharmacies these days I am always aghast. Thirty types of pain relievers, twenty stomach preparations, remedies for men, remedies for ladies, remedies for kids. Thirty different types of sleep aids, thirty different toothpastes. Hundreds of vitamins from A to Z!! What happened to good old Disprin As kids we were given a disprin for whatever ache or pain we had. Disprin for headaches, disprin for any aches, muscle strain or cuts and bruises after playtime. Disprin even for toothache, or a whole clove sucked over the tooth!! For tummy troubles it was Milk of Magnesia, Epsom Salts or Enos 'When you're feeling low - Eno' remember the jingle Toothpaste was Colgate or the folk who could not afford Colgate used a stick from a plant Miswac. Coughs were treated by extracting juice from Aloes, rather like Tequila, which might be the very reason for it all! Sore throats were treated by gargling with salt water. Our sole vitamin supplement was Cod Liver Oil and Malt, I still gag at the very thought!! Oranges and lemons were our source of vitamin C. Teabags or cucumbers were used for puffy eyes, prunes for constipation, aloe vera for sunburn, plus Honey for everything else, and of course chicken soup for the soul!! ++++ Watchdog ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds CONDOLENCES The Chimanimani Community morns the death of one of its precious members - Shayne Kidd, beloved husband of Birgit. Shayne sadly died as the result of an accident whilst driving between Harare and Chimanimani. One of life's exceptional and unique people. ++++ CONDOLENCES KEITH BOWIE Our deepest sympathies to Trisha and family. May you all be comforted by many, many happy memories of Keith. We, ourselves, have such fond memories, full of laughter, of our times together. Love Barry and Cherry Suddens ++++ Stuart Simpson It is with regret that we announce the passing of Stuart Donald Simpson (1965 - 2022), son of Lorraine (d) and Ken Simpson (d) of Bradfield. Stuart passed away in the UK after a relatively short illness. He leaves a brother and a son. ++++ DR ALEX MAGAISA He was former adviser to the late Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in the inclusive government Morgan Tsvangirai. A message posted on Facebook read, 'He suffered a cardiac arrest this morning at Margate Hospital at 10 am.' Meanwhile, Citizens Coalition for Change president Nelson Chamisa has this to say: 'A huge blow fellow citizens! What a force, a giant! What a human being! What an intelligent man! What gigabytes of intellect! What a fine great man! What a sober mind! 'What a cool character! What a lovely brother! And he has not seen his heart's desire-A New Great Zimbabwe.' Magaisa was a constitutional law expert as well as law lecturer at the University of Kent Law School in England. Between 2012 and 2013, Magaisa was chief of staff and principal advisor to Tsvangirai, then Zimbabwe's prime minister in a coalition government and leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, the country's main opposition party. In 2011-2012, Dr. Magaisa served as a key advisor to COPAC, the parliamentary committee that wrote Zimbabwe's new Constitution, which was approved at a referendum and signed into law in 2013. He was the author of a widely acclaimed blog Big Saturday Read offering in-depth analyses of law and politics in Zimbabwe. During his fellowship, Dr. Magaisa wrote a handbook on citizens' fundamental rights and freedoms under the new constitution, a project aimed at enhancing a culture of constitutionalism and democratic citizenship in Zimbabwe. ++++ RIP MRS LIZ DARE Those of us who swam at the time probably never knew just how committed Mrs Dare was but as we grew up we began to realise and appreciate just how much of a contribution she made to the swimming fraternity! Proudly wearing her green blazer laden with memorabilia she would pace the poolside. She wasn't liked much for that red flag which hung from her pocket, she never liked it either, but if you followed the rules that's where it remained. I'm sure she has seen generations pass through the waters of Borrow Street pool which it is still fondly known as and I'm sure Nationals were a time of great joy for her as she watched the Crusaders swimmers soar! She was always cheering for them from the sidelines and corrections came through in our evening training sessions. So many amazing memories you were a part of and so we thank you for your committment and contribution through-out our young lives! Thoughts are with Murray Dare and all other family during this sad time.

THURSDAY 9 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE Harry Potter needs no introduction but it's 25 years since the first book in the sequence was published - on 26 June 1997 to be precise. In the opening instalment Harry, a seemingly ordinary eleven-year-old boy serving as a virtual slave for his aunt and uncle, learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. He's snatched away from his mundane existence but soon finds that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined as he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.. - Two and a half hours of pure, uninterrupted enchantment. [Observer] - An exceptional big-screen treat. [The Times] - A near-perfect commercial and cultural commodity. [Variety] - The quickest, zappiest two and a half hours of entertainment you'll ever see. [Guardian] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film members] N.B. WEDNESDAY 15 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. THE BERLIN CONCERT Sparks fly in this recording of the all-star concert from Berlin's equivalent of the Hollywood Bowl, part of the July 2006 World Cup festivities. The electricity was generated by the trio of tenors Placido Domingo and Rolando Villazon and soprano Anna Netrebko in a programme of operatic and vocal favourites. 'The crowd estimated at 20,000 ate it all up, and so will home viewers!' - There's a real sense of occasion, our greatest living tenor benignly crowning superstar successors who provide comparable art and intelligence. [BBC Music Magazine] - With Domingo, Netrebko and Villazon in top form - and clearly enjoying making music together - no wonder that the over 20,000 opera lovers in the audience and the critics were ecstatic. [The Things I Enjoy] - This evening was the stuff of myth. [Berliner Morgenpost] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THURSDAY 16 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. THE WRONG BOX The Finsbury brothers, Masterman (John Mills) and Joseph (Ralph Richardson), are the last surviving members of a tontine that will pay a huge sum to whomever lives longest. Hoping to bankroll his perpetually confused grandson Michael (Michael Caine), Masterman asks Joseph to visit with the intention of killing him. Meanwhile Michael falls in love with Joseph's granddaughter, Julia (Nanette Newman), and his two scheming nephews (Dudley Moore and Peter Cook) also have plans for the money. When they think Joseph has died en route to seeing his brother, their attempts to cover it up involve among others a drunken butler (Wilfred Lawson), an unreliable doctor (Peter Sellers) and a dogged detective (Tony Hancock). - An amazing, wonderful, happy motion picture. The Wrong Box is a classic. [IMDb] - One of the funniest films I've seen. The Peter Sellers cameo is hysterical. [google.com] - Hilarious black comedy. [Movie Metropolis] - It's a charming, colourful romp sure to bring a smile to your face. [Amazon] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film members] THURSDAY 23 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING. Childhood friends Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) and Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) had a deal to marry each other if they were still single by age 28. Now, four days before her 28th birthday, O'Neil announces that he's marrying a gorgeous 20-year-old named Kimberly (Cameron Diaz). Suddenly realizing that she's actually in love with Michael, Julianne vows to stop the wedding at all costs and when she's appointed maid of honour, things get even more complex. - The buoyant, bitter-sweet Wedding puts new fizz in an old form. [Newsweek] - Roberts puts her heart into this one. Audiences are likely to return the favour. [Rolling Stone] - It's funny as hell - not in a rolling-in-the-aisles kind of way - but in the sly smile, knowing glance, growing chuckle kind of way. [Apollo Guide] Admission: $2.00 (Free to Film Members) ++++ 4) Congratulations ++++ 5) Roses And Raspberries ++++ 6) Pets Column BULAWAYO SPCA The current underlying economic struggle that Zimbabwe is going through,of course presents challenges to animal welfare, but in spite of this, Bulawayo SPCA has managed to keep going thanks to the dedicated staff, and the amazing continuing support of the public.
