Visit: www.freeroybennett.com Email: info@freeroybennett.com +++++++ IN THIS EDITION 1 ADDICTED TO E MAIL. 2 SMALLS - NOTICES 3 MISCELLANEOUS FOR SALE 4 THOUGHTS 5 CONGRATULATIONS 6 CONDOLENCES 7 TIDBITS ++++++ ADDICTED TO E MAIL I love email in fact I am addicted to e mail. Yes I realise it has eliminated the need for exercise (How many times have I sent Heehoo an email when he is sitting in the study right next door instead of walking over and chatting ?) But it makes communication simpler and more fun. I just love decoding messages like "do u hve time 4 mtg 2morrow@3 ?" However, I love my own e mail but hate Heehoo' s e mail addiction. As much as I love receiving banal and ridiculous jokes, sermons, pictorial weepers and garbage from my friends , I hate the never ending flow of information that keeps Heehoo glued to his computer till all hours of the night....even when we are supposedly on holiday !! But the thought of being able to communicate anywhere anytime, regardless of the time zones, is happiness personified. Now in days gone by, letter writing was a punishment to me. I would collect beautiful pads of paper with an ENORMOUS picture that was deliberately spread all over the page, which would necessitate only the smallest obligatory wordage possible !! "Dear Aunty Poppy, (written in my best, most ostentatious, boldest calligraphy style with the biggest possible nib) Thank you for the beautiful purple art deco vase. I just love it, Your loving niece Maggie" was all that was necessary because the picture took up the rest of the page !! But now, I cannot stop writing to people, in fact, some folk despair when they receive an e mail from me because they feel obliged to write back. Some folk I suspect even pretend that my e mail never arrived to alleviate the necessity of a return reply !! But hey, who cares, even if I don't get a reply, I just write another letter to which I do not expect (nay deserve) a reply !! It is just so darned easy, one letter to twenty relatives !! Just change the top and the bottom bits and pieces, add a few personalised inanities, and hey presto, you have contacted the whole family without a problem. SOOO EASY !!! I just love it !! ++++++++++ NOTICES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED FOR A SPECIAL LADY WHO IS SUFFERING FROM A BRAIN TUMOUR WHICH NEEDS AN URGENT OPERATION.... e mail "magskriel@mac.com" +++++++++ THANK YOU Aloma Thompson would like to thank all the friends and family who donated so generously to Bartley Block instead of buying her gifts for her 50th birthday.

Quite the opposite, always be awake and aware of your surroundings and check on your security around the home, office, school and town. CHILDREN Having talked to some primary schools, I wish to cover today some security measures that you can implement with your children. - Parents - talk to your children about security, some of the questions school children asked me, were of real concern to them, and only you as a family can give them the answers that they need which pertains to your security. Also children, these days, are very street wise and they might help you in a situation that you didn't plan, and you shall be surprised as to their reaction. The children do hear about people being beaten up and shot at, so don't push it aside saying that it won't happen to them, just give them the truth (not exaggerated stories) and the love and security that they know they can rely on you as their parents. - Teach children the correct emergency number for your city and how to use it and NOT abuse it. - Have all emergency and your office telephone numbers next to the phone. - Anti Hijack Trust Bulawayo's number 011-701 323 and EMRAS No. 62611. EMRAS will help get the police and send out an ambulance if all is required. The Trust will help with the Trauma afterwards. - Tell them to never talk to strangers, never get into a lift alone with strangers and never to go to public toilets alone. - Take your child down to the local police station at the public relations office and get them to know what an officer in uniform looks like and to start building up trust in the police again. In general the officers love meeting children and talking to them. - Ask the school if they can get police officers to do a talk on security and how to approach officers when they are in distress. - If children have to walk home alone, get them to carry a loud whistle - not one to play with, but one for when they need it. - Tell them not to walk through bushes, or short cuts where other people can't see them, but to stick to roads where everyone can see or hear them. - Use the children when travelling in the car as another pair/s of eyes to observe if someone is following you, for them to get a description of the car, and occupants etc. Make a game out of it, because they can also try and remember registration numbers. - Teach children to get out of the car quickly in case of a hijacking. - If children have to stay at home alone during your working hours, teach them how to use your burglar alarm, panic button etc. - Make them pretend that someone is at home, to the extent of shouting out "Hello" as they arrive and before getting inside something to the effect of "Look at what I've got!" This will make someone who was following or loitering around, believe that there is another person around. STOLEN VEHICLE If you can assist in looking out for this vehicle and reporting it to your nearest police station: Make: Mazda 2.2 Twin Cab Colour: Ivory Reg. No: 708-587 C Other marks: Ivory Canopy, carpeted in back of truck, black and red strip, bull bars and tow hitch SUPPORT GROUP The first support group for 2005 is on the 15th February at 1:30 pm. Unfortunately we have lost this venue, due to a company taking over fully, so we are desperately looking for another venue, if anyone can assist, please advise me soonest, so that I can inform the victims at the meeting where the next one will be held. 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. TALKS Please contact me for any talks for schools, companies, groups or questions on individual security, etc on crime@mweb.co.zw or cell phone no: 011-701 323 for your bookings.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Animal handlers agonised over the issue for more than a year: the wisdom of moving Alaska's only elephant away from the only home she has ever known. Nine elephant experts were consulted from zoos and animal parks in the United States and Canada, and a decision was made: Maggie stays. The 22-year-old African elephant will continue to reside at the Alaska Zoo -- instead of going to a warmer climate -- with the understanding that her accommodations will be improved and she'll have to maintain a busy schedule, including aerobic workouts on an elephant treadmill. In other words, keepers say, Maggie's life will be all the richer for it. "We felt we owed Alaska the right to continue to make Alaska the home for Maggie. She has an adoring crowd. The whole community is her herd," said Anita Pritchard, a member of the zoo board that voted overwhelmingly in favour of keeping Maggie. Maggie arrived at the zoo in 1983 as an infant when her herd in Kruger National Park in South Africa was culled. She joined Annabelle, a more easygoing Asian elephant born in India in 1964. The Alaska Zoo's relationship with elephants precedes its opening in 1968. Annabelle was the reason the zoo was built, said director Tex Edwards. A wholesaler won her for selling the most toilet paper. The prize was either $3,000 or a baby elephant. The baby elephant was kept in a heated horse stall until the zoo was ready for her. When Annabelle died of a chronic foot infection on Dec. 14, 1997, the question of Maggie's loneliness had to be addressed. Zoo staff wondered whether she should be moved to another zoo with more elephants. The American Zoological Association recommends that female elephants be kept in groups of three or more. A zoo committee mulled the issue and consulted the experts, Edwards said. The committee even considered moving Maggie to the 550-acre North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, N.C. But one expert felt that Maggie was healthy and content just where she was. Most of the others felt her situation wasn't ideal but neither was moving her, particularly when factoring in the risk of sending her on a long trip and whether she would fit in at her new home. The experts weren't concerned about the weather in Anchorage, where temperatures can dip to 20 below zero in winter. At a hefty 9,120 pounds, Maggie could stand to lose a little weight. Zoo officials are talking with engineers and manufacturers about building Maggie her very own exercise equipment. The improvements, to be completed in two to three years, will cost an estimated $500,000 and are part of a $4 million campaign to improve the zoo. Designing and building the first elephant treadmill could cost between $150,000 and $250,000, Edwards said. The zoo has talked with mining experts because they know about heavy loads, conveyers and belts. "We hope to be the first zoo in the world with an elephant treadmill," Edwards said. But whether Maggie, who once resided in Zimbabwe, is depressed because she spends dark and freezing winters in Alaska has been the subject of a long and charged debate in the state and across the country. Facing demands that she be moved to a warmer climate, Alaska Zoo officials decided to keep her in Anchorage for now but came up with an unusual proposal: They plan to build this 9,120-pound elephant a treadmill. The zoo has been under fire from animal rights groups and some Alaska residents, who have called for a boycott until Maggie is moved south. Across the country, similar criticism and internal debates about the treatment of elephants in captivity have closed exhibits in recent months, relocating the animals to warmer climates and to sanctuaries where they could roam for miles like in the wild. The plan in Anchorage is to complete the treadmill, a first-of-its kind $100,000 elephant exercise machine, by the summer. It would be 20 feet long and 5 feet wide, featuring a conveyer belt strong enough to allow Maggie to get her blood flowing and move her creaky joints, zoo officials say. A donor has put up the money for the treadmill, officials say, part of a roughly $500,000 "elephant house" improvement plan that would double the space in Maggie's 1,600-square-foot barn and add other amenities. If it keeps Maggie in shape, preventing the arthritis and foot infections that have plagued other elephants in the nation's zoos, then remaining in Anchorage is best for her, zoo officials said. Maggie has a history of not getting along with other elephants and Smith contended, as did other zoo officials, that when the Alaska Zoo had two elephants--Annabelle, an Asian elephant, died of a foot infection in 1997--Maggie was miserable and unusually aggressive. But animal rights groups and outside elephant experts say it is cruel to keep an elephant alone, particularly a female who is meant to socialise with other elephants. Worse than Anchorage temperatures, which can dip to 20 degrees below zero, they say, is her lack of elephant companionship. A ZIMBABWEAN ELEPHANT IN ALASKA ON A TREADMILL !!
