Umniati Bridge being built
 

The Little Town That Could

The Beira and Mashonaland Railway Company completed the rail link south between Salisbury and the Globe and Phoenix Station, later called Que Que, in 1901 and even later called Kwe Kwe!

The link to Bulawayo was completed a year later. Now coal fired boilers could be introduced on the Globe and Phoenix Mine, meat to the market and women arrived in Que Que. The daily passenger trains from Bulawayo and Salisbury still passed through Que Que, at the ungodly hours of one and two am respectively a half-century later.

The Little Town That Could
In January of 1954 clouds hung low and heavy like wet blotting paper while thunder rumbled ominously across the sodden land. The heavens opened and torrential rain for the eighth day bucketed down.

Riverbeds that had been sandy wastes for the past two years were now raging torrents, carrying away precious topsoil, uprooted trees and the bloated carcasses of cattle and goats. Roads were impassable in many places. The railway bridge over the Umniati River, linking Que Que to Gatooma and the towns to the north, collapsed.
Holiday makers were returning home in time for the new school term. Behind the hissing Garrett steam engine passengers looked anxiously out of rain-streaked windows.

'What do we do now?'
'How long before the bridge will be repaired?'
'We are pretty low on cash.'
Dad, was mayor. He reassured the crowd on the platform, 'We'll make things as easy for you as we can. The railway engineers and their gang are already on the job.'

A rota system was organized. The large kitchen at the boarding school was opened. The Red Cross provided food; the Women's Institute brought hot meals to the elderly on the train as well as magazines and books. The ladies stayed to chat and give cheer to the worried folk.
The school bus ferried groups of passengers to the school for meals.
The welfare bus took others to the mine shower block for a hot shower. Soap and towels were provided.
The Globe and Phoenix Mine Compound Manager, pith helmeted A. J. Liebenberg, cranked his car into high gear and arranged housing and food for the third and forth class passengers at the First Aid Pavilion.

Much to the Hirsch children's consternation, their home at #1 Silver Oaks Road was opened to families with young children, who had the run of the very large, long verandah. They had use of our toys! My Rosebud dolls suffered broken limbs and torn clothes. Brian's Meccano set lost nuts and bolts, levers and gears. Mom was impervious to our complaints. How could we be so selfish?

Our commodious kitchen was opened to mothers with babies to feed and bottles to sterilize late into the night. Stranded motorists occupied all the rooms at Sloman's Que Que Hotel. Mattresses were put down in the lounge to accommodate the overflow. Homeowners opened up their homes as well. One family had measles. Dad found a similar family in town. All were sick together.

Teperson and Malkow's Midlands Bakery did a roaring trade sending their waiters down in their plastic capes with trays of hot sausage rolls, meat pies, chips and sticky buns for sale.
Mr. Cloete of Vernon's Caf , not to be outdone, provided enamel jugs of hot coffee and tea, packets of biscuits, sweets and Willards chips, as well as cigarettes and matches.
The Medical Officer of Health did a splendid job with sanitary pails.

Telephone lines were down, but news still came over the wireless at six in the evening. A daily bulletin was posted on the station notice board chronicling progress on the damaged bridge. Bets were laid. The town's rallying to the stranded passengers plight and the cheerfulness of all was catching. A festive air developed. Soccer matches and other games were played on the platform.

Extra food and hot drinks in thermoses were sent to the hard working railway engineers and their gang. Ribald jokes were shouted across the turbulent river to folk on the far side who had come to watch the river and monitor progress. After four days the bridge was deemed safe. The Garrett was unhooked, the fire stoked. Smoke rose in the soggy air. With a few optimistic hoots the engine rumbled its way out of sight to test the bridge on its own.

For what seemed like eternity the swelling crowds waited and listened for the returning Garrett. Youngsters put their ears to the line...then they heard it: the engine's whistle, a whistle of success.

The whole town turned out to bid farewell to the passengers. Dad wore his red robe with its ermine collar and mayoral gold chain. There were tears of happiness and relief. The most enthusiastic cheers were from the three Hirsch kids.

In response, the spokesman for the passengers concluded 'Que Que is the little town with the golden heart, the little town that could.'
A big thank you to Eileen Underwood of New Zealand for this picture of the Umniati River (see on Morning Mirror Website) and to Dora Dunkley (Candy) for details.

From Diana Polisensky s "Once Called Home" - Memories from Southern Rhodesia in the 50s ...with thanks.

WELL KNOWN BULAWAYO LANDMARK IN NEED OF HELP

For 50 years Eskimo Hut has been a part of the Bulawayo scene .
Generations have grown up visiting this popular and well known landmark for their Ice cream treats. It was for many years the hang out for teens and young adults who would gather in the car park and show off their latest wheels - Renault s, Cortina s and the like.
It prospered through the busy Trade Fair years when it served Pies, Hot Dogs and toasted sandwiches as well as its well known Ice cream.
It survived through the difficult economy and is still serving todays generation of customers.
Even though there have been changes and upgrades over the past few years, Eskimo Hut has now been told to move on . They need support if they are to remain where they are so if you feel strongly enough that Bulawayo would not be the same if this landmark were to go or have fond memories of the way things were - then please email: colanne_eskimohut@hotmail.com

Children s Workshop on Assertiveness (Parents welcome)

Are you a human door-mat, do you say "yes" when you mean no ? Do you keep your opinions to yourself for fear of upsetting or starting an argument with others. Whether your behavior is unassertive (passive) or over-assertive (aggressive), it is possible to change, but it is also important to understand the difference between expressing yourself in a self-confident manner (being assertive) and forcing your ideas on others and intimidating them (being aggressive)

This work-shop is intended to help you express yourself in a way that will earn people s respect without alienating or hurting them.

Date: 31st March 2012
Venue: Rainbow Hotel, Between 9th & 10th Av, Bulawayo

7) Guardian Angels, Donations and Wish Lists

SENIOR CITIZENS

It is now 4 months since I was asked to take over the running of S.C.S. Thanks must go to Alison, Arlene, Isobel, Janet, Leila, Les, Liz & Willie for all the help received which has allowed me to settle into my new post.

I must say that I had no idea that there were so still many underprivileged and destitute pensioners still needing assistance. Our monthly prescriptions and over the counter medications are now 562 different items in total, which last month cost over £1,000 / $1,500 or R12,000. Our two doctors continue to give us sterling service with very little in the way of remuneration. Both doctors are each paid a very small retainer for each clinic they attend and see anything up to 30 people. Commercially the usual doctor's fee is £20 / $30 / R240 per patient. On top of this service our doctors visit our hospitalized patients, answer emergency calls with the occasional home visit at no further cost to S.C.S.

In my December newsletter you may recall I mentioned a lady who urgently needs a false limb replacement, unfortunately she still awaits a replacement for her badly fitted one that is causing ulcers and sores on the stump. The original quoted cost was $400 / £600 / R3,200.

We will, in the very near future, have an S.C.S website up and running, within this site will be a 'PayPal' button to enable donations to be made in one easy and simple method. This site has been sponsored, built and designed by donors in the UK. Thank you, Carlos and Liz.

If I can furnish you with any additional information or you are able to make a donation to our very essential work please do not hesitate to contact me or use the details below. I can assure you that all expenditure is closely monitored by myself and all donations are used to their maximum effect. God bless you all.

Donations needed for
Sir Humphrey Gibbs home for the intellectually handicapped.

Sir Humphrey Gibbs Home is not alone in needing and deserving some much needed help from the community. We are asking for donations of fabric or fabric offcuts and wool for the woman s workshop. The ladies love to make rag mats, patch blankets, pillows, laundry bags, and knitted jerseys, scarves etc. These in turn are sold to the public to bring in money to help in other areas. At the moment they are in desperate need of the fabric and wool needed to make these.

Please either drop your donations off at Sir Humphrey Gibbs Home Ludlow Hewitt Road, Khumalo North, or phone me to collect your donation.

A big thank you to the very kind people who have given cash donations recently. It has enabled us to purchase an urn and order a new stove for the kitchen. Cooking for the residents on fire outside will be a thing of the past. THANK YOU
Thanking you in advance

Operation of Hope returns to Harare Central Hospital this July 2012 for their seventh continuous year of facial-reconstructive surgery in Zimbabwe. www.operationofhope.org

This July, 2012 welcomes back the U.S. based volunteer facial reconstructive surgical team, Operation of Hope. This year, Harare Central Hospital will host the team in their effort to provide surgery for approximately 65 patients. Typical surgeries will address birth defects such as cleft-lips and cleft-palates.

Operation of Hope is a family based non-profit directed by Executive Director Jennifer Trubenbach and her younger brother, Stephen Clawson who acts as the Marketing and Development Director. The two have been working together in a foundation that has been offering free surgeries around the world for the past 24 years. In a recent conversation, Trubenbach explained, 'My brother and I support an incredibly dedicated group of passionate and talented medical volunteers who love what they do. Back home, we spend a tremendous amount of time raising much-needed funds and sorting out all the details so our team can work in-the-field as smoothly as possible. This creates long working days but we welcome the reward of a Zimbabwean mother's face such as when her child has been helped by our team. The currency of that glow fuels our return to Zimbabwe year after year.'
For the August/2012 surgical mission, all potential patients are encouraged to be at Harare Central Hospital on Sunday, July 29th at 8am. All patients will be evaluated by the surgeons of Operation of Hope and assessed for surgery. If a candidate is selected for surgery, they will be placed on a surgery schedule that runs between Monday July 30th to Tuesday, August 7th. Anyone, any age, from anywhere, who can get to the hospital and has a facial deformity will be evaluated. Please bring all medical records available for the evaluation. Although these surgeries can cost between $40 to $90 thousand dollars in the United States, there is no charge to the patients and/or their families. The surgeries are absolutely free of charge thanks to donors, sponsors and caring people from around the world who make this possible.
If you would like to support Operation of Hope by making a financial donation, please visit the website www.operationofhope.org.
Warmest regards,
Jennifer Trubenbach, Executive Director

General Information:
Cleft lip (cheiloschisis) and cleft palate (palatoschisis) which can also occur together as cleft lip and palate, are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation. Note that harelip is now considered as a derogatory term. A cleft is a fissure or opening -- a gap. It is the non-fusion of the body s natural structures that form before birth. A cleft lip or palate can be successfully treated with surgery soon after birth. A child with a cleft lip or palate has no effect on the brain regarding mental capacities and function. Cleft lips and palates are birth defects and are not caused by reasons such as a 'Mother who sinned' 'a cast spell on the family or mother.' The condition does not have anything to do with the mother's diet before or during pregnancy although some studies have shown that alcohol and smoking cigarettes can increase rates of birth defects.

Dear Zimbabwean Friends:

The surgical team of Operation of Hope, partnering with the Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation, is planning to bring prosthetic hands to children and adults in need of this help at NO COST to the recipient and their families in Zimbabwe.

I am writing to you to ask if you know of children and/or adults in need of this device, or if you could help us get the word out to see if people are in need of this device, so we could plan accordingly.

Please feel free to contact me at jtrubenbach@cox.net with any questions/concerns/comments. Thank you for your support!
Warmest regards,
Jennifer Trubenbach, President OPERATION OF HOPE www.operationofhope.org

Bulawayo Island Hospice offers palliative care and support to all terminally ill patients throughout the city of Bulawayo and its surrounding areas.

Island Hospice Service does good work and labors diligently to improve the lives of those who suffer from cancer and other terminal illnesses, but we cannot do this without support from our friends. Please take a moment to reflect on the importance of our work and consider a gift.

8) Bulawayo News

Our Chairman, Mr Gavin Stephens, decided last year that Sub-Committees from the Executive Committee should be formed in order to involve committee members more in the Association's work. One of the main Sub-Committees is the Marketing/Fund Raising Committee and at its recent meeting it was agreed that the website expansion should be encouraged by listing all the Association's members free of charge and inviting societies and other organizations to email their newsletters on a regular basis for inclusion on the website. There will also be a page on forthcoming events and tourism and travel news. However, this will only work if you members make use of our website.

The Ascot Shopping Complex has had a clean up with security guards on duty to keep away undesirables, so it is well worth a visit. The vacant shops have been taken over by others including a bright new bookshop which has a good selection of children's books as well as copies of a really excellent coffee table book on Zimbabwe with outstanding photographs. When this book first became available in the bookshops it was sold out very quickly and has been unavailable for a long time. There is now a small garden nursery near the entrance.

The Association has on sale THE MATOPOS a short history written by Paul Hubbard and Rob Burrett which includes lists of common species of birds, animals and trees, as well as giving a short description of places of interest to visit in the Matopos. The same authors have written a guide to three of the larger and more accessible stone ruins in this region, namely Khami Ruins, Nalatale and Dhlodhlo.

Dr Mirjana Vakos who has spent many years attending workshops and studying in depth the holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle, is now offering a comprehensive approach to healing starting on 5th March at Jacana Lodge, Clark Road. She is happy to do this individually or in a group. This course includes meditative eating, and assessment of a person's individual needs from the point of view of nutrition, exercise and spiritual attitude. Tel 077 9 507 505 or email mirjana47@hotmail.com

Crime Awareness Campaign, run by Tracey Conway-Burn from her home, is in need of your financial support as it is virtually self-funded. Tracey is prepared to give talks to group's advising on how to avoid potential threatening situations and how to act when one is involved in such a situation. Contact Tracey on 243938 or 071 2 701 323.

The ZIMRA Board does not condone any form of harassment of travelers or member of the public requiring service from the Authority. Members subjected to unfair or unreasonable treatment should report this conduct to any of the Commissioners at ZIMRA, Tel: (04)790811 or (04)702561.

PLEASE GIVE US INFORMATION ON YOUR DEVELOPMENTS, DIVERSIFICATIONS, ETC SO THAT WE MAY INCLUDE IT IN ONE OF OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS. WE EMPHASISE AGAIN MEMBERS THAT OUR MAIN AIM IS TO PROMOTE BULAWAYO AND DISTRICT AS A WHOLE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF BULAWAYO'S TOURIST AND BUSINESS POTENTIAL WORLD-WIDE.

Looking for Wendy Rosselli Paintings.
If you ve ever in town, I wonder if you could pop into Naake s and have a look upstairs in the gallery, to see if they have any Wendy Rosselli paintings. I bought one there back in the Eighties, yes, I know, and would love to acquire another. She does lovely Impressionist paintings of bush and trees, as well as still life. I can arrange to deposit any money wherever you desire. The last one we bought for Z$1500.oo My Mom always used to visit Naake s for painting materials and The Christian Vine for books when we came up to Byo from Plumtree in the olden days. Then over to Haddon & Sly for lunch and clothes, especially Clarkes school shoes for little bro and me. Then a look at the museum and the park, where we sometimes had a picnic. Ah me, happy days. Give the old town my love, Liz

My niece got me a copy of A Gentle Pioneer - Nancye Stuart 1871-1956 written by Rosemary Wells. It's a thin paperback, doesn't take long to read and is quite charming particularly life in the Matopos in those days. I could have done with more from her Grandmother s diaries but Rosemary has wound a good story from it just not long enough for me!! I couldn't get it here but Marjie found it in Oz and said it wasn't expensive. Don't know if you have read it but it is a bit of Rhodesiana so thought you might like a look. The publisher is Trailblazer Publications in case you need that.
