It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies: 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. 3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. 4. The Italians drink large amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. 6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of perogies, cabbage rolls and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. ++++++++ NOTICES The Free Roy Bennett Campaign website can be found at http://www.freeroybennett.com. +++++++++ Bulawayo Country Club - Polocrosse Section Children's Christmas Party Saturday 11th December 2004 Bring the whole family and enjoy an evening Bring and Braai Starting at 4.30pm Father Christmas arriving at 5.30pm Please could parents bring a small plate of children's party snacks.

I would just like to say a very big thank you to you all for participating in my appeal to get Lal a kidney. I cannot express my appreciation enough. It has been amazing!! Through this appeal my cousin in Zimbabwe, Ross Kennedy has come forward and he is compatible with Lal. What a miracle! We are indebted to Ross and know that his generosity far out weighs anything I know. The transplant is therefore scheduled one week from now (2nd December 2004) Your prayers and support will be much appreciated at this time for both Lal and Ross. Thank you again for all the support received and please forward this on to all those that you contacted initially. Take care Marg Conolly (Kennedy) +++++++ Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage !! Our other Family !! Porky - (Chipangali's very own Pumba) Porky first came to Chipangali in December last year, as a tiny baby, found stranded on the roadside, tragically separated from her mom. Initially she was difficult to handle (but so it is with all warthogs) but she soon settled, due to trusting her instincts and allowing Claire to help her out. Since then Porky has become one of the more famous and most loved orphans here at the orphanage. When we first found Porky, she was only a waif of a thing, barely reaching the 1kg mark, 7 months later however, she is anything but, at a whopping 21.5kg she is clearly living up to her namesake of being a porky little pig!!! No Name the Barn Owl. 'No-Name' is a barn owl who was bought to us as a scruffy ball of fluff no bigger than the size of your hand. From the very beginning No-Name became a part of the furniture in Claire's room as she became his 'mother' from day one. With an appetite surpassing even Porky's he grew from a tiny fluff ball into a large magnificent creature. A squirrel was being hand-reared at the same time as No-Name and it was a constant struggle to keep this little defenceless thing from No-Names natural instinct to eat anything that moves! From being completely immobile and unable to move on his own, he soon became a master of the skies as well as ruthless and diligent hunter; Claire's socks were never safe. Nor were her feet, even, in the middle of the night, at even the slightest movement he would come swooping down from the roof beams and crash land onto his prey (feet, hands, lips, eyes).

So book now for an evening of family entertainment. ++++++++ ANTI HIJACK TRUST This month has been quiet for the Trust, but if you have heard of any incidences regarding muggings, attempted/hijackings, house robberies, please ask those involved to contact me, not only for caregiving (unless they don't require it), but also for me to keep a record of the statistics. Please be aware of the following: - A cream coloured Nissan Sunny with the registration number starting 749 (the rest indistinguishable), around the Famona and Hillcrest area. One lady was followed and realised what was happening so managed to escape. - A white Toyota Cressida driven around with one white man, with longish blonde hair and 2 black men. They have been seen observing homes at around 02:00 - 04:00 hours in the Fortunes Gate area. If you see these two cars and are followed or they are hanging around your area, please report it immediately to the police that you are suspicious about their activities. - If you notice men carrying road signs around and they are not in BCC overalls or in BCC trucks, please also report them to the police, as I am sure you don't want our Beautiful Bulawayo to become like Harare without Road signs anywhere! Christmas is coming upon us fast, and have you made plans who will look after your home whilst you are away? Herewith is a holiday check list before you leave: 1. Cancel deliveries or switch with a neighbour. 2. Arrange to have your letter box emptied daily. 3. Ask your neighbour to watch your home. 4. Inform your Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator if you are involved with them. 5. See that someone has your contact address. 6. Pay the electricity and rates account for the period of your absence. 7. Store all valuables safely. 8. Lock windows, garage and outhouses. 9. Set Alarm or inform house sitter how to use it, giving them a separate pin code. 10. Lock doors and gates. 11. Try and organise a day-night switch for your outside lights to go on at a certain time. 12. Have a timer on one of your inside lights to switch on and off at a time you prefer. 13. Do not advise too many people of your absence, even beforehand. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a "Joy filled Christmas and a very peaceful New Year for 2005" and to thank each and everyone of you who has helped in any way, no matter how small you may think you have helped, I can honestly tell you, I appreciate it a great deal. SUPPORT GROUP We will start up again in February 2005, so keep the third Tuesday of every month free, for the support group if you are a victim of hijacking, attempted hijack and house robberies. We are there for each other and we do not charge victims who contact us for care-giving. The service is all free, that is why we depend on the public and private sectors to help us survive.

TEL : 244237 / 011 208 107 +++++++ Request For Financial Assistance The Margaret Fox Trust had been established in an effort to raise funds for an operation and procedures that Margaret must have done, which cannot be carried out in Zimbabwe. Margaret's problems started several years ago when a growth on her nose which she had previously had burnt off, eventually turned into ulcerous cancer caused from the sun. In 2003 they operated on her nose, cutting a part of the right side away and covering it with a flap. She then went for what should have been 6 weeks of radiation therapy in Harare but the machine kept breaking down and the treatment dragged on for 3 months. Unfortunately the skin cancer came back and the Plastic Surgeon in Harare was forced to remove the whole right part of Margaret's nose. It was hoped they had got all the cancer but it has now come back and as nothing more can be done for Margaret in Zimbabwe, she was referred to a specialist Nose Surgeon at Morningside Clinic in Sandton, Johannesburg. After examination and several tests, the Doctor's diagnosis was that further surgery is necessary and that Margaret would not be a good candidate for reconstruction given her previous history. Instead, the Doctor suggests a Prosthetic nose be made. Obviously, this is all very expensive and right now it appears it will cost approximately R75000.00. Without this operation, Margaret's condition will definitely deteriorate and the cancer will spread to the bone of her face, tear duct and ultimately her brain. Her quality of life at present has also been severely affected - Margaret feels self conscious going out in public and before this sewed, knitted and read a lot, but now she cannot wear her glasses as they put too much pressure on her nose. Margaret is trying to apply on the Auction to obtain the foreign currency needed but we all know there are no guarantees and many delays. If you are in a position to give a donation towards these costs or would like to find out more about Margaret's condition, please contact the following:- Anne Cooper - (082) 324 2383 Margaret Fox - 286642 (home telephone) Thank you for your time and any assistance you may be able to offer. ++++ Passmores Pre-School Places still available for 2005.

Frank Walkington Snr. Of 72 Matopos Road Bulawayo worked for the British Metal Corporation many years and was chairman of the Bulawayo Golf Club for a long time.
