The statistics do not up from 15 in June. Genocide Watch, a highly respected U.S.- based nonprofit organization..., has been sounding the alarm on the genocidal on - slaught facing South Africa for a decade. Over those 10 years, thousands of white South African farmers, known as Boers, have been massacred in the most horrific ways imaginable. The horrifying evidence is available for the world to see on countless sites throughout the Internet: pictures of brutalized dead women and children - even babies. The government often classifies the bru - tal farm murders as simple “robberies,” sometimes the crimes are not even report - ed. The government, meanwhile, has al - ready launched a campaign to disarm Afrikaner farmers. Disarmament of the tar - get group is one of the surest warning signs of impending genocide. ‘More and more, the ANC regime’s sup - porters are turning to violence and revolu - tion to achieve their aims of taking control over land and industry,’ Roodt explained. ‘The government also disbanded farmer self-defense groups known as commandos that formerly protected rural areas.’ According to Roodt, South Africa, like every country during a communist takeover, is being deliberately destabilized. Ethnic and racial tensions are being pur - posefully stirred up as part of the scheme as well, he said. If the ANC gets its way, they (activists, exiles and human rights leaders) say, it will be an unmitigated disaster for whites, blacks - basically everyone except political - ly connected cronies.” Let’s see - We have a warning!

Simple Steps To Save Money On

(NAPSI)—ExpertsYour are predictingCar that gas prices will continue rising to his- toric highs this summer, forcing vehi- cle owners to find ways to save money when it comes to maintaining their cars. Many Americans are already living on tight budgets, so practicing some quick, inexpensive and easy car maintenance can help you save and protect your investment. • Maintain the air to save money on fuel. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by up to 3 percent. One study estimates that 50 to 80 percent of the tires rolling on U.S. roads are under inflated. Properly inflated tires on all American cars could save up to 2 billion gallons of gas a year. Whatʼs more, a clogged air filter can increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent. Air filters keep impuri- ties from damaging the interior of the engine, so replacing dirty filters will save gas and protect your engine.

More ways to save money on fuel are available at www.fueleconomy.gov.

• Reduce your insurance costs by shopping around. Prices vary from company to company, so it pays to do your homework. Get at least three price quotes. You can call companies directly or access information on the Internet.

• Get slick to reduce maintenance costs and save fuel. Upgrading to one of todayʼs modern high-performance motor oils can make a meaningful improvement to your carʼs fuel econo- my and engine life. For instance, inde- pendent studies have documented that Royal Purple motor oil improves fuel economy by as much as 5 per- cent and significantly reduces engine wear. Using high-performance syn- thetic motor oil, as opposed to con- ventional oils, also allows for more miles between oil changes, reducing maintenance costs and time spent working on the car. 756677 You can find out more at www.roy- alpurple.com. www.greenepublishing.com Friday, August 31, 2012 Turn Back Time Madison Enterprise-Recorder 13A Way Back Remembrance Of When September 4, 1942 Funeral services for Lt.

The Dairy Bar was locat - ed where O’Neal’s is now. Then she went to work at Greenwood School, where she worked with mentally handicapped children. Then, after her oldest son, John, was born she quit work and became a stay at home mom. She stayed at home until Justin, her youngest son, was four. She then went to work at Head Start, which is where Justin went to school. Then she quit at Head Start and decided to go to Live Oak Gas, where she still works today. There are a few ways that Glenda believes Madison has changed. One of the biggest she believes is the lack of safety. “Safety has changed a lot in Madi - son. There are more drugs and drinking now then there was when I was growing up.” How - ever, there are also many ways that she feels Madi - son has stayed the same. One of the biggest ways she feels Madison has stayed the same, is when someone passes away. “I know when there is a death in someone’s fami - ly, the outpour from the community is amazing. I don’t know that that goes on everywhere, but it has always been that way here. I believe that that probably won’t ever change because that is just the way our commu - nity is. We enjoy gather - ing together and helping each other,” she added. Glenda is married to Johnny Sirmon. They have three children: John, Kristin Woyak, who is married to Nate Woyak, and Justin. new new CYAN U U YELLOW MAGENTA Eve Odd BLACK
