Freedom-camper waste still problem

John Taylor

A delegation will meet Land Information New Zealand management today in a renewed bid to improve the government department's management of Crown land along the lake.

Linz administers areas such as Deep Bay and Craig Burn which are popular with freedom campers.

In an inspection of the areas on Wednesday, Guardians of Lake Hawea executive member John Taylor and Lake Hawea Community Association vice-president Di Turnbull found evidence human excrement was being left behind when freedom campers departed.

They photographed the evidence for the meeting but noted the amount of excrement was less than in previous years.

Last year, Mr Taylor described both areas as ''a cesspit''.

The pair believed a toilet installed by the Queenstown Lakes District Council at Craig Burn might have been one reason for the improvement, although it was already there last summer when the problem was particularly bad.

Mr Taylor, who has been pushing for improvements for nine years, said he had been advised to use his camera to capture evidence of the problem and he now had an extensive library.

''The only problem is, no-one wants to look at it.''

As he and Ms Turnbull pushed through scrub in search of evidence on Wednesday, they were approached by a freedom-camping German woman, who asked if they were ''looking for something special''.

Bishop of Guildford: Religious freedom is eroding

We are seeing an increasing erosion of religious freedom, writes the Bishop of Guildford, ahead of his debate in the House of Lords.

I am to ask Her Majestys Government a question in relation to the promotion of freedom of religion and conscience internationally, as a fundamental human right and a source of stability, for several reasons.

First, sadly there is a greater erosion of freedom of religion at this time than for many years before. However, I shall open the debate by stressing that it is about conscience as well as religion. In other words, I am not only concerned about the freedom for the various faith communities but also all conscientious persons.

One of the things I shall be stressing is the importance of finding a way of articulating our concern for freedom of religion without being partisan and indulging in tit for tat debates to the effect that we are more persecuted than you. It is very proper that there are individuals and organisations campaigning on behalf of the various faith groups. That is perfectly reasonable. But we also need a holistic approach and that is where the government the European Union and the United Nations all have their part to play.

In my speech I shall be acknowledging that the Church has not always been a champion of freedom that is to be deeply regretted - but then secular governments too have also been guilty of terrible persecutions (for example in the 20th century, as witnessed by the extreme regimes of east and west (Nazi/Stalinist/Maoist).

I touch on the balance of the recent European Court of Human Rights decision and pick up a number of practical points that I am aware that the government, through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are engaged in, and I encourage further development.

I shall be ending with a quotation from the Chief Rabbi and Dostoyevsky who in The Brothers Karamazof gives us a parable about the freedom that true religion should bring though sometimes monolithic institutions, including the Church, have opposed this.

The Lord Bishop of Guildford will ask Her Majestys Government what their strategy is for promoting freedom of religion and conscience internationally as a fundamental human right and as a source of stability for all countries.

Underground Railroad brought freedom in Ontario

There may not have been an actual "railroad" associated with the Underground Railroad, but its passengers were as precious as any train ever carried.

The term Underground Railroad refers to the passage of freedom seekers in the mid 1800s -- thousands of slaves and refugees who journeyed north from southern parts of the United States to freedom in Canada.

Their perilous and painstaking journeys -- from about 1830 to 1870 -- are commemorated during February, known widely as Black History Month. And few can tell their stories better than Lezlie Harper Wells.

Harper Wells is a direct descendent of a freedom seeker who arrived in Canada's Niagara Region in 1850. Her great, great grandfather, Jack Black, fled slavery in Kentucky with his brother and nine-year-old sister. They hiked thousands of kilometres alone by night, slogged through swamps and swam across rivers. They eventually crossed the Niagara River near Buffalo and settled along the northern shore at Ontario's Fort Erie.

"It was absolutely amazing," Harper Wells says, "to look at Fort Erie's 1851 census and there was (my great, great grandfather's) name."

Through her company Niagara Bound Tours, Harper Wells organizes customized, family friendly tours of Niagara's Freedom Trail, relating the stories of these courageous people.

Niagara Bound's tours take in historical spots near St. Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie and Niagara-on-the-Lake, including points where freedom seekers crossed the Niagara River, homes considered "safe houses," the Salem Chapel in St. Catharines, where freedom seekers would congregate, and the landing point of Josiah Henson, believed to be the inspiration for a character in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Along the tour, Harper Wells tells a lot of fascinating stories. She explains the struggles and horrors people faced while enslaved, the conditions in which they lived, and the challenges they overcame to escape. Her tours are also full of hope and joy, shedding light on Ontario's involvement in the Underground Railroad, a network of people who hid and guided slaves north to freedom.

With no money or means of transportation, many freedom seekers travelled in darkness, simply following the light of the North Star and searching for signposts -- trees bearing crude charcoal or mud markings that pointed the way to freedom. The Underground Railroad system included a number of code words and terms used to keep operations covert: "Stockholders" referred to abolitionists who believed in freedom for all; "human merchandise" meant runaway slaves and refugees; a "depot" was a safe stopping point (safe house) along the way; and "the other side" referred to the north side of the Niagara River in Canada, where slavery was prohibited.

Talented Freedom High girls chase hoops title

By BEN HENDERSON | Special correspondent Published: January 23, 2013 Updated: January 23, 2013 - 12:00 AM

It has been quite the season for the Freedom girls basketball team. After going 18-11 last season, the Patriots are 19-3 with two games left in the regular season before the district tournament next week.

Head coach Laurie Pacholke, in her fourth season as head coach, has a senior laden squad, with six seniors led by Georgetown University commit Faith Woodard. Pacholke says she has girls on her JV who could probably play varsity for other teams not that she is complaining.

"This is the most talent we have ever had," she said. "We have a super competitive practice. We go 5-on-5 and it gets pretty cutthroat."

Freedom had outscored their up opponents this year by an average of 28 points. It can be difficult to keep focus when winning by a wide margin, but Pacholke knows her team can not become complacent if they are to reach the final four in Lakeland.

"Our goal is to be better today than we were yesterday," she said. "We need to do a better job defensively, making sure we are precise."

One thing that has helped Freedom is the rigorous conditioning program that took part in over the off-season.

"We had 15 to 20 kids out for conditioning," Pacholke said. "The commitment level is top notch. We have 13 kids who play basketball year round."

Senior guard Neena Pacholke, coach Pacholke's daughter, says the workouts they did are part of what help the Patriots beat other teams in transition.

"We did the insanity workout and then ran on the track," she said.

Freedom rider tells Stetson students of historic protests

For the past four years, Stetson Law School professor Robert Bickel, left, and Ernest "Rip" Patton have traveled with Stetson law and history students on Stetson's 2,000-mile Civil Rights Movement and the Law Tour through the Deep South.

DELAND In May 1961, Ernest "Rip" Patton Jr. was a young music major at Tennessee State University about to get on a bus and become part of history.

Tuesday night, a 72-year-old Patton stood before an overflow crowd of several hundred at Stetson University to tell of his work as a freedom rider.

The freedom riders were activists who defied segregation laws by riding in racially mixed groups in buses across the South and using the segregated facilities in depots. Though court decisions already had outlawed racial segregation in interstate transportation, Jim Crow laws stayed stubbornly often violently in force.

When Patton got ready for his trip, a bus had already been firebombed and riders had been beaten by mobs. Many thought the freedom rides had run their course.

"I knew about the beatings. I knew about the burning of the bus," he said.

Patton, lanky and slightly stooped, with the low, melodic voice of a man who loves to sing, told the students there was no question about joining the ride.

"That didn't stop us. We were on a mission. We were on a mission to make a difference. Not only for our generation for your generation as well."

Although his group escaped the threatened mob violence, Patton was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge in Jackson, Miss., at the lunch counter of a bus station.

Patton was sentenced to prison at Mississippi's Parchman State Prison Farm where he and other protesters were put in the maximum security section.

Riding the "Freedom Train" From SJ to SF

Twenty five years ago, seven-year-old Melissa Cook and hergrandmother boarded a "Freedom Train" honoring the life of Dr. MartinLuther King. The train ran from San Jose to San Francisco where it endedwith a march through city streets. Cook remembered the moment as sheonce again prepared to board the annual Freedom Train pilgrimage for the

first time since.

"My grandmother," said Cook, "she's always made sure she kept us upto date on what's going on in the world."

The lessons of Cook's grandmother came spilling back as the Caltrainengine rumbled in place. Now that she was an adult, Cook said shewanted to again experience the annual celebration of Martin Luther King,while paying tribute to her grandmother.

"A lot of what she did for me, opening my eyes to the world aroundme, made me the person I am today," said Cook.

The specially designated Caltrain rumbled from San Jose to SanFrancisco, arriving at the 4th and King Street station around 11 a.m. Afew hundred people spilled from the train and into the streets for themarch to Yerba Buena Center for a celebration.

The annual event is a salute to King and others who paved the roadbefore. The fact that the march coincided with the second inaugurationof the nation's first African-American president was lost on no one.

"A lot of people they never expected to have an African-Americanpresident," said eighth-grader Austin Murphy, who made the trip to SanFrancisco from Tracy with her parents.

Many AfricanAmericans taking in the march part talked of growing upwith parents and grandparents who struggled under discrimination.

"I've heard it from my grandparents as well -- all being born in thessuth," said Murphy. "They had to deal with those problems but had tocome through it."

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says that "while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by his people here on Earth."

Delivering his second inaugural address, the president said that the inalienable rights set out in the Declaration of Independence may be self-evident - but "they've never been self-executed."

The president says we must do these things together, as one nation and one people.

Obama spoke shortly after taking the public oath of office for his second term Monday. He addressed hundreds of thousands on the National Mall and millions more watching worldwide.

President Obama taking the oath of office today on the steps of the Capitol. First Lady Michelle Obama held the two Bibles on which he placed his hand.

Calling on Americans to "answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom," President Obama used his second inaugural address to push for action on the nation's problems and to say that partisan politics should not get in the way of pragmatism.

"Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time but it does require us to act in our time," he said in his noon hour address Monday from the steps of the Capitol.

On the day the nation also celebrates the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., the president spoke of "the star that guides us" the notion that we are all created equal and became the first president to speak in an inaugural address of "gay" rights.

He said that "enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war." And he pledged that "we will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations."

Freedom Rider featured among local MLK programs

Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 6:22 p.m. Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 11:12 p.m.

The group known as the Freedom Riders boarded buses, trains and planes to test a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that outlawed segregation in all interstate public facilities, which at the time often had separate drinking fountains, restrooms and lunch counters for blacks and whites.

Patton will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Stetson University in DeLand. The presentation is one of a host of events being held over the next few days in Volusia and Flagler counties in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Among the stories that helped shape the civil rights movement Patton will share is the night the Freedom Riders met with King in Montgomery, Ala., after the group suffered brutal beatings at the hands of a white mob.

Patton took part in a bus ride to Jackson, Miss., where his group was arrested for entering a "whites only" Greyhound Bus station waiting room, said Robert Bickel, a law professor at Stetson University.

Patton accompanies students on a summer travel course conducted by Bickel during which the students meet prominent figures in the civil rights movement from Nashville, Tenn., to Montgomery.

"It is important to retell the stories of the civil rights movement, because the movement itself was a significant event in American history, and even more important that we have the opportunity to hear such stories by the people who lived them," Bickel said in an email.

"This event is also important because our efforts to advance social justice today can be successful only if we understand the cause courageously advanced by men and women of the civil rights movement."

Events held Sunday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day include a gospel program followed by a candlelight vigil in Deltona presented by the Deltona Dream Keepers from 4-6 p.m. at the Deltona Alliance Church.

Also scheduled Sunday is a celebration beginning at 4 p.m. presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's student chapter of the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals that will include songs, poetry, and remarks by Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry. The event will be held on the university's campus on Clyde Morris Boulevard in Daytona Beach.

Freedom plans Te'o girlfriend bobblehead giveaway

The Florence Freedom are making plans to give away a Manti Te'o girlfriend bobblehead. Sort of.

On May 23 the Frontier League baseball team will be giving away the boxed bobblehead to the first 1,000 fans through the gates.

The box will be empty.

"This will be the best kind of bobblehead a fan could get," Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said in a news release. "Because now fans can make the bobblehead out to be whatever they want it to be."

"Section 115 will be blocked and reserved only for fans to sit with their imaginary friends, girlfriends/boyfriends or spouses," the team said.

Te'o, the star Notre Dame football player, is coming under scrutiny after a girlfriend he said died of leukemia turned out to never exist.

Izzy's Famous Corned Beef is also offering a "Manti Teo To Go Order" which consists of "a take-out order with nothing in the box. Its just a reminder to all our wonderful customers who are Notre Dame football fans," CEO John Geisen said in a news release.

Internet freedom and the universe online

SECOND UNIVERSE. The Internet and the universe inside of it needs to be free.

MANILA, Philippines - For a good number of Internet denizens, January 18 in the US is supposed to be Internet Freedom Day.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) terms this year's celebration as one to remember previous years' fights against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the US. It's also being held to remember Aaron Swartz, the Internet activist who fought for the rights of Internet users in a number of ways.

While the date may not have much significance for Filipinos yet, it may be important to remember January 18 as Internet Freedom Day for the Philippines simply because we need a day to remember how the Internet, and the pursuit of Internet freedom, goes beyond our immediate spheres.

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. The oral arguments against the Cybercrime Law are one facet of a world-spanning issue.

On Philippine shores

In the Philippine context, one major point of interest when it comes to Internet freedom is the way legislation is being done to protect people's interests, both in terms of protecting intellectual property and stopping libelous or hateful statements from becoming commonplace online.

On the one hand, there is the Cybercrime Law, RA 10175, which some have described as having certain deficiencies currently being brought up in argumentation. It also has a dubious backstory, one of online bullying of a senator or hearty dissent against his views, depending on whom you ask. The deficiencies and the hazy backstory cloud the perception of the law's effectiveness and intent.

The current alternative is something called the Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom (MCPIF), otherwise known as Senate Bill 3327. This was filed by Sen Miriam Defensor-Santiago in November 2012 and is a more citizen-friendly bill that hopes to be passed in place of the Cybercrime Law.

What's notable about the MCPIF is that it makes provisions that specifically address deficiencies in RA 10175, such as protecting the right for the freedom of expression and the right to privacy.

Our freedom was not a gift: President

Tamluk (West Bengal) Jan 18 (IANS) Stating that India's freedom was not a gift given under international pressure but one achieved through years of struggle, President Pranab Mukherjee Friday saluted the freedom fighters from Midnapore district.

Mukherjee unveiled statues of Ajoy Mukherjee, Satish Chandra Samanta and Sushil Kumar Dhara who played crucial roles in India's freedom movement and were instrumental in forming the Tamralipta National Government - a parallel government during the Quit India Movement - here. The area now falls within East Midnapore district.

In 2002, Midnapore district was divided into East Midnapore and West Midnapore districts by West Bengal's Left Front government for administrative reasons.

"We have achieved our freedom through a long struggle. We earned our freedom in return for blood. It was not a gift or given under international pressure," the president said in his address.

He said Midnapore has a long history of contribution towards the freedom movement.

"Midnapore has a long and glorious history. There is history in its every page, a history of sacrifice, of glory and self sacrifice. From Khudiram (Bose - the first martyr of India's independence movement) to Hemchandra Kanungo - the first chemical bomb maker - and Matangini Hazra who in spite of being riddled with bullets did not let the tricolour fall, Midnapore has a very rich tradition and history of freedom fighters," said Mukherjee.

Talking about Ajoy Mukherjee, the fourth chief minister of West Bengal, who hailed from here, the president said he came to power in the most torrid times but with his astute leadership countered all problems.

"His tenure as a chief minister from 1976-71 was marked with a lot of difficulties but he remained unfazed and tackled them accordingly. There were natural calamities, famine and a severe financial crisis, but nothing could deter his determination," said Mukherjee, who had his baptism into politics as a leader of Bangla Congress founded by Ajoy Mukherjee.

He paid rich tributes to Ajoy Mukherjee, Satish Chandra Samanta and Sushil Kumar Dhara, the president said: "Whenever people will pass by these statues, their heads will bow in respect."
