Amongst the Nominees for the Martin Ennals Award 2006

The jury of the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders (MEA) announced today that amongst the following 4 people nominated for the 2006 Award is :
Jennifer Williams (Zimbabwe)
Jennifer Williams, one of the leaders of WOZA (Women of Zimbabwe Arise), continues to organise and lead peaceful protests against the ongoing erosion of human rights in Zimbabwe, in spite of having been arrested and beaten by the police.

Martin Ennals (1927-1991) was an influential figure in the modern human rights movement. He was the first Secretary-General of Amnesty International and the driving force behind many other organisations. His deep desire was to see more co-operation and solidarity among NGOs.

Fact of the Day:
Sustainable farming methods can help the poorest farmers in developing nations out of poverty. A recent study of 280 farms in 57 of the worlds poorest countries, found that techniques such as crop rotation and organic farming increased crop yields by an average of 79%, without risking future harvests. The findings challenge the dominate view that industrialised agriculture is best as many farmers in developing country are leading the way with methods that promote local biodiversity, reduce the use of pesticides and water, and ensures healthy soil for future generations.

We take heart from the promise of God which we understand to be directed to his people engulfed as we are in deep crisis: I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29/11) Let us then reflect carefully and exercise a godly discernment as we wait to hear what the Spirit says to the Church today.

I wonder how many people know about this?
A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her car. A resident of Wollongong, NSW, she was travelling between Wollongong & Sydney. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the Highway Patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane -- when your tyres lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.

The Highway Patrol estimated her car was actually travelling through the air at 10 to 15 miles per hour faster than the speed set on the cruise control. The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.
The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had had a similar accident, totalled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.

A WARNING TO THE PUBLIC OF BYO
A man going by the name of ALFONSE MOYO, who is presently out of custody on bail for numerous counts of theft by false pretences involving false sale of fuel to people in Byo, has committed similar offences in the last few weeks. When he approaches someone offering them fuel, he is using my name, Ray Munro, as a reference, saying that I am a good customer. If this man approaches you offering fuel and quoting my name, please make every effort to apprehend him as he is an expert con man. It is estimated that he is responsible for theft of cash in excess of $200 million. He is wanted by the ZRP at Byo Central and Nyamandhlovu.
Regards Ray

Ad's

We have been involved in the investigations of road accidents for many years, whilst in the BSAP, and after for Insurance companies. It is remarkable how the general public, having been involved in an accident, accept the findings, of investigations, which at the very best can only be described as inadequate. Our experience after re-modelling the scene, and then looking at every angle, in numerous cases reveal vehicles are either unroadworthy, and some mechanical fault caused the unfortunate event, or some outside influence contributed to the accident. No motor accident, is in fact an accident, it is caused by something. We look for that cause. Documentation is produced by us, and is accepted by the Police, Lawyers, and Insurance companies. For more information, contact us on palladin@mweb.co.zw, or phone Byo 258147

WHERE ON EARTH ARE THEY ALL ?

What about some of the earlier shows on Montrose Studios output with Val Lunn. We had Four Jacks and a Jill, John Edmond, Ge Korsten, Cornelia, Des and Dawn Lindberg. Where is Ken Jackson? I know that others from the same era have passed on. Beryl Maitland, Ralph Glover, Moolji Parshotam, Cabby, Brian Lawson, John Pank (husband of Pauline Bailey). There were other legends like Tony Bulling in the much earlier days. Where is Graham Keithley, Tony de Villiers, Teresa McMaster, Gavin Johnstone Robertson, Paul Aingworth, Mario Antao (all behind the scenes people). Where are people like John Aldridge,

What about Brian Williams, Jan Smith, Margaret Murray, Basil Von Blomenstein ?

Thank you for featuring my poetry from the Zimbabwe Situation in your newsletter. I hope this email finds you in great spirits. Please feel free to share my email address in the event someone may have questions or would like to use the poetry in some other manner. It was an honour to see it also in your newsletter. I am very sorry for the tragedies in Zimbabwe. Also, the South Africa Independent Radio featured an interview with me and the reading of that poem. If you do not have the link to the archives, then I can send that to you for those who may wish to hear it. My email address for the public is: crowned. compassion@gmail.com I have a poetry CD that will be released in April. It will have both the Interview and the live reading of Free Us From the Claws of Cruelty on it. A friend of mine is travelling to Zimbabwe in June and she will be bringing some of the CD's with her. I will keep you posted. Part of the proceeds with benefit Women Rise of Zimbabwe and Seeds of Light. Seeds of Light is a South African organization that supports children. www.seedsoflight.org

SEEKING DR C. DAVID SIMPSON
From: marshall@rockisland.com
Subject: Dr. C. David Simpson, Famona, 1980's
I realise you must get quite a number of similar requests to mine, but I am so far away (an island in Puget Sound near Victoria B.C.) that I am having no luck at all in finding an old friend. I went to school at Texas A&M University in Texas in the early 70's with a fellow from Bulawayo, a Dr. C. David Simpson, a wildlife scientist. We were on the polo team together and were good friends. I have many fond memories of those days and deeply regret having lost touch with Dave over the subsequent years. The last address I had from him was his mom's at #8, 21st Ave., Famona, Bulawayo, from 1983. His Dad had apparently passed on by then, and had the same name as his son. His dad was also retired military, a Col C, David Simpson. Dave was mid- thirties when I knew him in Texas so would be about 70 now if alive. Can you look in the local directories and see if Dave is still listed at his mom's old address? Are there any lists or other sources I could check online to try and find Dave? Any help or suggestions you might have would be most welcome. I would love to make contact again with my old polo mate and see if he is all right and how he is getting along. This whole Rhodesian situation seems such a sad state of affairs. You all must be so saddened by what has happened to your country. I have an acquaintance here whose people had stayed on in India after The Partitioning and Independence; and she said that was a bloody mess as well. Right, well again I enjoyed your site so much. And I am grateful for your time in reading my note. Any help or suggestions you might have will be much appreciated. My best wishes for now,

Capt. Stewart Marshall. ret. Lopez Island, WA State, USA
