I have driven past the Centenary Park in Bulawayo virtually every day of my life. The Park was once the hub of the City. Here bands played in days of Yore, in that little gazebo by the fountain. The Army Band, the Police Band, the Salvation Army Band, on Sundays, High Days and Holidays. Genteel Folk spread out their check table clothes and drank lemonade and ate cucumber sandwiches while they listened to the jaunty strains of the trumpets and bassoons. When the Queen Mum and her two princesses came to visit in the fifties to open the park officially, I clearly remember lining up on Selborne Avenue in my Coghlan Junior School uniform, (the pretty blue one patterned with the blue plumbago flower, which was C.J.R's favourite flower I gather ). We were all issued with tiny Union Jacks which we waved in (tut tut) true colonial style, as the Royal Party , waving in that most regal of all manners, drove up the magnificent Avenue. Wide enough to turn an ox wagon in full span, the avenue was lined with a blaze of purple jacarandas, a golden riot of honeysuckle from the Silver Oak trees, it is now of course called Leopold Takawira Avenue. I would be too ashamed to show you pictures of the Park now, but do yourself a favour and visit FallonBills Youtube presentation at YouTube - Centenary Park, Bulawayo, Rhodesia, Oct. 1973 to remind yourself of what it used to look like ! I clearly remember feeding the black and white swans in the river that ran through the park, I think it was a part of the Matsheumhlope although I am open to correction !! There were fountains and lakes and ponds, there were giant formal gardens, with beautiful banks of cannas, agapanthus, dalias and all sorts of exotic blooms. There were literal avenues of wisteria, petras, and the sweet scented "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" There were mazes and pruned privets and low hedges of immaculately trimmed plumbago that one could jump over. The Round Table Railway was started at a much later stage, and this exciting trip on miniature steam engines Queen Guinevere and King Arthur, as the trains were named, sped you past the duck pond, through an enchanted tunnel, over the bridge across the stream and then back to the tea garden for an ice cream or a "brown cow". There was a giant aviary there too at one stage,a putt putt course, a small game park and of course the illuminated fountain which were all erected at a much later date. This was the chosen venue for countless weddings, the beautiful park was the perfect backdrop for the all important wedding photographs. Christmas was sheer magic, the lights, the piped carols, the fairy-tale atmosphere, mothers, fathers, children, grannies, grandpas, took to strolling around the exquisite tableaux, culminating in a walk up the poignant path to where the beautifully decorated Nativity Scene was under the giant Christmas tree. Here at the fountain, on New Years Eve, celebratory crowds would gather to see the New Year in and more than one wag would find himself drenched from head to toe in an obligatory fountain ducking. This was also a favourite place to find a bevy of "Ice Cream Boys" remember them? Their ungainly, extraordinarily heavy bicycles, without any sort of 3 speed mechanism, dragging behind them giant carts paced with smoking dry ice and full to the brim with tangerine mivvis and ice lollies, oh how I wish I could remember some of the famous names !!They would ring their bike bells furiously to attract attention, the red Lyons Maid Merry Men and the blue and white outfits of the Dairibord crew. Of course one had to visit the playground with the seesaw, the jungle gyms the roundabouts and the swings on long long ropes that could propel you way up and excitingly high. Then there were the tanks and train engines that the kids could climb on to their hearts' content. The gardens were the domain of one Mr Bob Hardman for many years, his heart would break if he could see his masterpiece now. Those beautiful purple petria bushes that lined up beside the fountain are all but totally dead now, although I thought I might have seen an hint of purple the other day with all the rain we have had this year. My heart leapt with hope, and I knew then that nothing, nobody, ever, ever, ever will put out the flame that still burns in the hearts of many people, who will be willing to come back home at the drop of a hat, when peace and justice prevail once again in Zimbabwe. +++++ 2) NOTICES My Dad is a 74year old man and is need of an urgent operation.

Please contact Teresa King or Louise King on 240701. Thank you very much." ++++++++ Hi All, One big Beef of mine is - When did you last receive an "ACTUAL REAL LIVE BILL" in your post box or at your Home address? I gave up sometime ago, as it proved next to impossible, to get an actual bill printed & I also had to resort to phoning or getting a piece of "SCRAP" paper with what the balance owing was. How can you check to see if your last payment was even credited to your account or query "ESTIMATES?" I feel it is time to make a "STAND" and it should start with IMMEDIATE EFFECT. Do not pay your bills until you receive an Invoice or Statement from the following : ZESA - They should also read the Meters. No more estimates due to non-availability of fuel. TELONE & All the rest CITY OF BULAWAYO. Ditto above & can they collect our GARBAGE PLEASE. Cholera is around the corner, as well as other associated diseases. The principle being that we are going to be charged in HARD CURRENCY, which not all of us have access to anyway. The days of BEING THREATENED with cut-offs etc. should &must be over. Surely they can now afford all the THINGS that they said they had no finance for, such as computer printing ribbons, paper, POSTAGE STAMPS to mail our Bills, & numerous other excuses for the non-delivery of "SERVICES". Some of you have Businesses & NEED the invoice for purposes of VAT rebates from ZIMRA anyway. The Governor of the Reserve Bank, by allowing the above parastatals to charge us in Forex, forgot to explain that they should now LIVE UP TO THEIR MISSION STATEMENTS. Therefore, we should ALL demand & indeed, should be entitled to a FIRST WORLD SERVICE, since we are being charged in FIRST WORLD CURRENCY. If you agree to the above, please forward to as many people as are on your MAILING LISTS. WOZA, has done a wonderful Job WITH NOTHING, so please think what we might do by circulating this message NATION WIDE. It starts with a minute of your time, that's all - think about it. mailto: cglyn@falgold. co.zw ++++++ Bee Artee Toddlerz Fundraising Fate To be held on 28 March 2009 At the Lions Den Golfing Range, (Tin Cup) Come one, come all, Come and have a ball, Fundraising for the improvement of school facilities With fun and laughter all around, stalls for Mom's and Dad's, Kids fancy dress contest And lots of exciting activities for Parents and children Raffle draw will be held at tin cup Tickets for raffle are R10 Prizes: 1st is 5 nights stay at Chilila lodge in Binga (Accommodation only) Worth R2000 2nd is 15 Litres of various cleaning detergents from Soap Chem 3rd is Children's stationary hamper worth R160 Fun for all.

Peggy +++++++ Date: Thursday, February 12, 2009, 9:48 AM Our hearts go out to the folk in Eastern Australia on their horrendous ordeals. "I Watched a home video of fire bearing down on a community where most were killed. Absolutely frightening. The incredible roar and hillsides exploding. It shook me. So eerie here as we have this pall of smoke from the Victorian fires. Can you believe it. Up in the north of the state the floods are horrendous. No point in fodder drops as the cattle are all gone. Some big properties have NO cattle and NO horses left. They are counting the losses in hundreds of thousands (of head!) (Many washed out to sea!) Hard to believe. I feel guilty as we have just had 100mm of rain - a couple of days ago. Fence damage but nothing to talk about."

Regards Dave Tapson Cell: +27 (0)82 945-1990 Email: anton.tapson@ gmail.com +++++ FYI - at a meeting yesterday a leading Zimbabwe Economist, stated that the exorbitant bills being sent out by utilities must not be paid - the budget does not balance and apparently it is an attempt to recoup losses incurred over many years, in one month!!. You will be cut off but they will have no income and will be forced to take action. Also Biti still has to come out with a new budget so do not be "ripped off" in the meantime - just advise the authority that you are not able to pay owing to the cost. If you agree - please pass on" ==== Perhaps you could mention something in your MM about the increased dumping of baby disposables on roads and verges around Byo. This is of great concern to a lot of folk here with the threat of Cholera over our heads. The only way to bring this to an end is to have baby disposables banned on sale here and go back to the old days of selling nappies. Any suggestions?

The Embassy does not issue new banknotes in exchange for old and/or mutilated currency. Members of the public are advised that older series of U.S. currency remain legal tender in the United States and elsewhere. U.S. bank notes do not expire. Similarly, any badly soiled, dirty, defaced, disintegrated, limp, torn, worn, out currency note that is clearly more than one-half of the original note, and does not require special examination to determine its value, is legal tender. However, the decision on whether to accept, or not, any bill is up to the bank, business or individual. Individuals with questions or concerns about detecting fraudulent currency can contact the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section in Eastgate, Harare.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson +++++++++ St. Theresa's Prayer: 'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.' ++++ I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. --Etienne de Grellet ++++++ I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Jalaluddin Rumi (Poet and Mystic) 1207 - 1273 ++++ MOTHERS Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids. Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of carpets. Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up. Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best.' Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother... The Images of Mother 4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mummy can do anything! 8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mum knows a lot! A whole lot! 12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything. 14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either. 16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned. 18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date! 25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it! 35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mum's opinion. 45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mum would have thought about it? 65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mum.
