ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M. +++++ Children are born with a sense of wonder and an affinity for Nature. Properly cultivated, these values can mature into ecological literacy, and eventually into sustainable patterns of living. - Zenobia Barlow +++++++ A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe. - Wayne Dyer +++++ EDITORIAL OUR BULAWAYO SCRIBES AND THESPIANS! Goodness me, this Bulawayo Literary and theatrical Community of ours is incredible. This week alone, amongst many amazing community projects, has seen the award of a Booker Prize to NoViolet Bulawayo. NoViolet Bulawayo is the pen name of Elizabeth Zandile Tshelea, a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford, one of the six writers whose work was shortlisted for Britain's prestigious Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Bulawayo's debut novel tells of a 10-year-old girl's journey from Zimbabwe to the United States. The author was born and raised in Zimbabwe and earned her MFA at Cornell University. In this book Bulawayo weaves together the novel 'with a rare and welcome economy. The prose is spare and stirring, and the worldview global in scope.' We also have another budding Bulawayo author - Susan Hubert whose delightful first book "Sabi Star" is scheduled for launch this week. Theatrically-wise we watched a delightful adaptation of Winnie The Pooh at Girls' College with some admirable singing, dancing and acting, and we also feasted on the Ray Clooney comedy 'Out of Order' at the Bulawayo Theatre. Produced by very our own Bulawayan John Cleese aka Anthony Lubbe, we spent the evening literally in 'stiches'. An excellent slick production with some brilliant acting. On Wednesday we saw a festive crowd at the launch of the 2014 Matopos Calendar, a magnificent full colour 12 page calendar with brilliant photos of the Matopos by Andre F. Van Rooyen and featuring some glorious poetry by award-winning poet, short story writer and novelist - John Eppel. The launch was accompanied by an auction of the original photos on canvas in aid of the Matobo Rhino Initiative Trust. This initiative is raising awareness and driving the campaign for the protection of the Matobo Rhino. The National Parks has given the Trust permission to build a fence around the Matopos and already 14 Km of fencing has been erected. There are already signs that the Rhino are staying inside their parameters instead of roaming away from their armed security patrols. How sad that life insists that these wondrous creatures need to graze in the presence of armed guards. How sad that these antediluvian beasts need to be fenced in for their own protection? What has happened to our society? But, needs must, and the initiative needs your support!! Donate - fundraise - spread the word - get involved ! Contact for more details: Paul Hubbard, Project Manager - hubcapzw@gmail.com John Burton - Trustee - farmhouse.matopos@gmail.com For copies of the Matopos calendar e mail Violette Kee-Tui violettezim@gmail.com +++++++ 2) Events BULAWAYO COMMEMORATES WORLD RHINO DAY Sunday 22 September is World Rhino Day.

The re-erection of the Whovi Game fence was identified as a priority and thus the Rhino Game fence project was established. The project began in 2013 and to date the Northern and Western boundaries of the Game park have been fenced with bonnox. The Trust now requires further funds to complete the entire perimeter fence and thus additional funds are required. It has been decided to hold an event on World Rhino day, Sunday 22nd September 2013. The event will be held at Sandy Spruit, the main entrance to the National Park, starting at 10am. The entrance fee will be $20 per Adult and $10 per child. All entry proceeds will go to the Fence project, so this hopefully will be seen as a donation rather than a purely "entry fee". The entry fee includes: Light Braai Lunch A drink Participation in the sponsored 5km walk Bested Dressed Rhino competition Best Dressed Animal costume Most sponsorship raised by a boy and a girl - prizes by Lodges in Matopos. Cycle ride - 30k Part of the Rhino fence will be erected on site during the event An auction of Rhino Paintings and Prints. Speeches by prominent people and National Parks about the Matopos Rhino.

Harry Kupfer´staging is simple, aesthetic and endless. Daniel Barenboim is spectacular and grandiose. The dramatic intensity is staggering, and all singers are at least above average. Clearly the best Nibelungen Ring on DVD." Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval SHERLOCK HOLMES: INCIDENT AT VICTORIA FALLS Thursday 26 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Sherlock Holmes has to bring 'The Star of Rhodesia', a valuable diamond, back from South Africa to England for King Edward VII, but a team of thieves steal it and Holmes tracks it to the Victoria Falls Hotel...

[Matthew James, Rotten Tomatoes] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] KORNGOLD: DIE TOTE STADT Korngold: Die Tote Stadt in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Korngold's opera tells the story of a man who, having lost his wife, takes refuge in the decaying city of Bruges and, whilst still overcome with grief, becomes obsessed with a woman who bears a remarkable likeness to his dead wife. Korngold's music shows the influence of both Richard Strauss and Puccini in its virtuoso use of a vast orchestra and the soaring vocal writing. There is an abundance of gorgeous and memorable melodies and the music is consistently of very high quality. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the Interval +++++ RELIABLE FUEL SUPPLIES AT BINGA!!

The award was made by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Mr Stockil "is one of Africa's great conservation pioneers, who long before many others recognised how critical it is to engage local communities in the conservation of their natural heritage," one of the Tusk Conservation Awards judges said. The judges said Clive Stockil was "one of Africa's greatest conservation pioneers" "Despite many setbacks, Clive Stockil has never waivered from his overall commitment to conservation." His career spans 40 years and in 1992 he helped create Zimbabwe's biggest private reserve in the Save Valley in the the south-east of the country, which is now home to one of the biggest rhino populations in Africa. The lifetime Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa comes with a £30,000 ($47,000) grant. This is the first year of the Tusk Conservation Awards and the event was the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first joint engagement since the birth of their son in July. Prince William is a patron of the Tusk Trust, which supports 57 field projects in 18 African countries. ++++++ NEW BOOK - LAST ORDERS AT THE CHANGAMIRE ARMS (Humorous Memoirs of a Rhodesian D.C.)

That includes today, when a special Mid-Month Msasa Walk-Run is being held in Mukuvisi Woodlands, so that you and your family, friends, and dogs too as long as they are firmly leashed, can go and enjoy the gorgeous sight of the msasa trees flushing in their riot of rich colours. More exciting news is that Maxine, the young giraffe born in this nature reserve, and now nearly two, has a brand new sibling, born just over two weeks ago, and doing well. My personal great news is that the cast on my arm was removed this week, and now I can run, run, run, as well as, thankfully, drive again. The weather is, of course, perfect for running, and I can now throw myself into preparing for The Rhino Run at Chivero on September 28 and the Vumba Mountain Run on October 26. There is also the Rooney's Extreme 15 and High Five on September 22. Rooneys has been backing this event for years, and it's always very festive. It starts at Borrowdale Country Club at 7am with pre-registration on Friday September 20 at Old Georgians from 5:30pm, or from 6am on the morning. There's a 5km and 15km run. The 15km is a tough, very hilly course, hence the "Extreme"! Meanwhile, the same day, September 22, which also happens to be World Rhino Day, this important day will be commemorated in Bulawayo with a Rhino Fun Day. The Matobo Rhino Initiative Trust was set up in 2012 to assist the Matobo National Park primarily in the protection of the rhino. The re-erection of the Whovi game fence was identified as a priority and the rhino game fence project was established. This kicked off in 2013, and the northern and western boundaries of the game park have now been fenced. The Trust is currently busy raising further funds to complete the entire perimeter fence. The Rhino Fun Day will be held next Sunday at Sandy Spruit at the Main Entrance to Matobo National Park, starting at 10am.
