| Wealthy Town Attacks Affordable-Housing Rules |
|
The Medford NJ township council has initiated another challenge of new regulations set by the state Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). The council voted in mid-August to file a complaint with the state Council on Local Mandates (CLM) in a bid to have that body overturn regulations that would require the township to provide for
328 more affordable housing units. Township Solicitor Richard Hunt said the CLM has the authority to rule that a state law imposes an unfunded mandate, which would cause the regulation to expire.
NJ municipalities have been harsh critics of the new COAH rules, saying they create a burden on taxpayers and that there is not enough developable land for the new units. "This is bad policy," Mayor Chris Myers said. "Our goal is to protect the taxpayers of Medford Township, and our position as a council is to look at every avenue possible to do so." The new regulations are part of what COAH calls its third-round housing obligations. The rounds, required by the state's Fair Housing Act, generally cover a period of 10 years. Under state law, each municipality has an obligation to provide a fair share of affordable housing in each round. The new rules require a municipality to provide one affordable housing unit for every four new market-rate homes, and one unit for every 16 new jobs created by new development. Medford officials said the township does not have enough developable land to support more than 300 units. They said COAH wrongly identified preserved tracts of open space, the Flying W Airport, and the Lenape High School campus as developable land. "They are appropriating a number of homes that we're responsible for, yet the land is not even understood," Councilman Joseph Lynn said. "If we are going to go down this path, there has to be communication as to what land is available, what land is preserved, and it seems like none of that was done. It's irresponsible." Myers said the COAH rules would discourage municipalities from bringing in new businesses. He used Evesham's earlier announcement that it was backing away from plans for a $50 million shopping center on Route 70 as an example. Evesham pulled the plug on the shopping center because the COAH rules would have required the township to also build dozens of affordable housing units. "On one hand, we want to get more ratables in the township to lower the tax rates for our residents," said Myers, "but now we can't because we'd first have to look into how many affordable housing units we'd have to build." An amendment to the Fair Housing Act, which Gov Jon Corzine signed into law in July, would finance low-income housing with a 2.5% fee on new commercial development. Myers contends that would raise only about $2 billion over the next decade, forcing municipalities to cover additional costs of some $6 billion statewide. "You put yourself in a death spiral," said the mayor, arguing the higher costs would discourage development and spur residents to leave the state.

| New Agreement Aims to Protect Afghan Aid Workers |
|
Afghanistan's civilian and military actors, both national and international, have signed a new set of guidelines that call for maintaining a clear distinction between the roles and functions of humanitarian agencies and the military. The agreement may be unprecedented in the history of civil-military relations in conflict situations.
The move comes at a time when many humanitarian and aid agencies have less and less access to the Afghan population as larger and larger areas of the country become off limits. Recent months have seen a surge in direct and deliberate attacks on humanitarian aid workers, many of whom feel their distinct and neutral identity in the conflict has been compromised by the blurring of military and humanitarian roles. "Many NGOs are now traveling in unmarked cars trying to look as much like the normal population as possible," said Ingrid Macdonald of the Norwegian Refugee Council. "Earlier NGO workers were attacked when they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now we are being targeted." The civil-military guidelines were agreed on at the end of protracted negotiations within a working group that had representatives of NGOs and of military groups. Clearly thrilled at the involvement of the military, one of the NGO people described the guidelines as unprecedented, saying that "nowhere else in the world has such a step been taken". "The guidelines will prevent ... humanitarian space from being squeezed further," said spokesperson Aleem Siddique of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. "Recognizing the distinct role that we have to play will be a vital component of protecting our impartiality and opening up humanitarian space for us." The guidelines purport to "establish principles and practices for constructive civilian-military relations, and for effective coordination, which is critical for achieving security and stability in Afghanistan". They're "intended to support the development of a relationship between military and humanitarian actors in which differences are recognized and respected". The guidelines' foundational principles include observance of international law and human rights, and respect for the neutrality and independence of humanitarian actors. The guidelines emphasize the security role of the military, the reporting of human rights violations, and the need to respect and protect women. Macdonald feels that while acceptance of the guidelines is an "important step in the right direction", the "real test will be how well they are implemented on the ground." Source: Asia Times |
| Community Policing Begins on Reservations |
|
Besides adding officers to American Indian reservations plagued by crime, a concept called community policing promises to give people ownership of those areas, according to Pat Ragsdale, director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The approach already is working on the Standing Rock Reservation and could help ease some of the ills on the Pine Ridge reservation if there's support from tribal
leaders, he said.
In June, the BIA brought in extra officers to Standing Rock, which straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border. According to the agency, arrests shot up to 700 in the first month and dropped to 300 in the second month of the surge that now is slated to run at least until October. The idea is that law enforcement collaborates with people in education, health care, social work, the judicial system, and other agencies about public safety issues, Ragsdale said. "Being proactive in the community, having personal relationships with the law-abiding citizens, and aggressively going after the offenders. "We're not going to arrest ourselves out of the overwhelming poverty and unemployment we have on reservations. But we should be able to create a measure of tranquility that people can build on." The crime rate on some reservations is 10-20 times higher than it is outside of the reservation, he said, and on average, 40% of the women will be raped during their lifetime. "The Bureau of Indian Affairs is typically being blamed for every dirty rotten thing that ever happened to the American Indian, but most of us come from Indian communities," Ragsdale said. "Most of us believe firmly in self-determination and bettering our community. So after you get through the resentment that exists, on a person-to-person level we work very well with our tribal constituents." Source: Associated Press |
| Bangladesh Landmass May Be Growing Not Shrinking |
|
New research shows Bangladesh may not be as vulnerable to rising sea levels as previously feared, scientists in Dhaka say. They say satellite images show the country's landmass is actually growing because of sediment dumped by rivers.
A report by UN scientists has projected that rising sea levels will inundate 17% of Bangladesh by 2050, making about 30 million people homeless. One of its authors said he saw little in the new research to change his mind. Satellite images of Bangladesh over the past 32 years show that the country is growing annually by about 20 square kilometers (7.72 square miles), said Maminul Haque Sarker of the Dhaka-based Center for Environment and Geographic Information Services. This was due, he said, to the billion tons of sediment that the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and 200 other rivers bring from the Himalayas each year. Only about a third of this sediment, he said, makes it into the Bay of Bengal. Much of the rest is dumped in Bangladesh's vast delta, attaching itself to river banks, or even creating new islands. Sarkar said that in the next 50 years this could add up to the country gaining 1,000 square kilometers. Others, however, maintain that Bangladesh is going to lose land over that period. Dr Atiq Rahman, a lead author of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, said that there was little in the new research to make him think that their projection needed revising. He said that many people living along the coast had observed that sea levels were higher now than in their grandparents' day. "The rate at which sediment is deposited and new land is created is much slower than the rate at which climate change and sea level rises are taking place," he said, so while some new land may be created in parts of the country, elsewhere a much larger amount of land will disappear. In any case, the new land will take decades to become useful and so compensate for fertile farmland that was flooded. Rahman said that what is needed now is a village-by-village survey of coastal Bangladesh. Source: BBC |
| Water Stations Disallowed for Desert-Crossing Migrants |
|
A Tohono O'odham tribe member who has been putting water in remote desert areas for the past seven years for the benefit of illegal immigrants says he has been told to stop. The order was given Saturday morning while Mike Wilson was southwest of Sells in a restricted district of the reservation. According to Wilson, he was showing 11 non-tribal guests -- eight seminary students from Denver, their professor, and two retired Tucson pastors -- one of the four water stations he operates. The guests had come to the area to learn about migrant deaths there.
A Tohono O'odham police officer approached Wilson and said the district chairwoman, Veronica Harvey, had instructed her to tell Wilson to take down the water station and escort his guests off the reservation, Wilson said. He didn't take down the two 55-gallon water barrels but left with his guests, he said. Tohono O'odham Chairman Ned Norris Jr confirmed yesterday that Baboquivari District leaders asked Wilson and his guests to leave, but he said he has no knowledge of the request to remove the water station. The tribe has a standing decision not to allow humanitarian groups to place water on the reservation. Norris, who became chairman after that decision was made, has said the decision falls to the reservation's 11 districts because it's considered a matter of local concern. He said the same thing about the reported decision to ask Wilson and his guests to leave. Wilson's four water stations are in the Baboquivari Valley, which is the deadliest corridor for illegal immigrants in the US. The corridor had claimed the lives of 229 border crossers from the beginning of fiscal 2000 through November 2007 -- more than three times the average number of deaths in other segments of the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, according to the Arizona Daily Star's analysis of 1,156 deaths recorded by the Patrol. Most immigrants died from the heat. 70 bodies of illegal immigrants were recovered on the Tohono O'odham Reservation in 2007, and 83 were found from Jan 1 through June 12 of this year, the latest numbers available. Wilson has experienced problems with his lifesaving efforts in the past. From 2001 through 2003, the water jugs he placed in the desert were slashed by vandals on a continuous basis, he said. In September 2003, nearly 1,000 of the 4,000 gallon jugs of water were slashed in one rash of vandalism. Around 2003, he switched from jugs to 55-gallon barrels. In 2006, all eight barrels at the four stations were stolen. "I'm upset that the Tohono O'odham Nation would continue in this -- what I consider a crime against humanity," Wilson said. "That they would take down my water stations." Source: Arizona Daily Star |
| UN Agency to Help Tajikistan Avert Famine |
|
The UN World Food Program will supply Tajikistan with $10 million worth of food this year to avert famine, the aid agency has said. Tajikistan's stability is key to the West as it tries to secure law and order in neighboring Afghanistan.
The impoverished Central Asian nation bordering Afghanistan has suffered from drought, locust infestation, and a record cold winter this year. Energy and water shortages have become widespread, threatening to fuel public discontent. "The prices of bread and vegetable oil have more than doubled in Tajikistan since August 2007," said the WFP, "while prices of most other foodstuffs have risen by more than 50%." The Tajik economy and infrastructure are still in tatters following a civil war in the 1990s. A foreign debt of more than 40% of gross domestic product is adding to the woes. In the opening months of the year, millions of Tajiks struggled to survive without electricity, hot water, and heating after the coldest winter in decades hit the mountainous nation.

| Festival Promotes 'Slow Food', Agro-Reforms |
|
A lush, under-the-stars spread of handmade bread, gourmet olives, and fine wine makes an unlikely launch for a weekend dedicated to ending hunger, empowering poor nations, and transforming farming as we know it. Welcome to Slow Food Nation, epicenter of the split personality that is America's burgeoning foodie reform movement.
The Labor Day weekend festival in San Francisco started Friday as one part gourmet nibbles, one part social justice soapbox. It's a gustatory effort to persuade Americans to reject fast, cheap food and embrace organic, local agriculture and a return to the kitchen. "For a long time we thought it was our own private business how we feed ourselves," said organizer Alice Waters. "But now we understand there are consequences." The reformers' message: Food should taste great and be produced in a way that is kind to both the people and the land from which it comes. We should spend more on quality food now to save on health-care and the environment later. In our harried nation, it's a tough sell. "A lot of people don't like to cook. They like to nuke," said John Fiscalini, a festival exhibitor. "We don't sit and enjoy meals like our forefathers did." Slow Food Nation marks the first major event for Slow Food USA, a branch of an Italian-born organization. Popular appeal here has been minimal, partly because it's been mostly co-opted by the wine-and-cheese set. The weekend event saw the launch of a new strategy that Slow Food hopes will remake the movement's image and re-energize its members. On Thursday, they released their "Declaration for Healthy Food and Agriculture," a 12-point plan intended as a blueprint for remaking the federal farm bill, the $300 billion measure that influences virtually every aspect of the American food system. Critics have long complained that the farm bill favors industrial agriculture and undermines efforts to promote sustainable, organic, and family-based farming -- all principles central to Thursday's declaration. The declaration also encourages greater clarity in food labeling and better treatment and pay for food and farm workers. "The farm bill is making very, very few people successful. The vast majority are hurting," Michael Dimock, president of Roots of Change, said of small farmers. "The big commodity regions of the country are becoming poorer and poorer. We have to reverse that." Source: Associated Press |
| Community Fights to Reverse Seizure of Mangroves |
|
The fishing community in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, has become deadlocked in its battle with authorities to redress the seizure of portions of a coastal mangrove forest that has put their livelihoods in peril, according to community leaders. Sihanoukville's deputy governor Spoang Sarath seized 13 hectares of the 9,000-hectare mangrove forest in April, according to a leader within the fishing community who requested anonymity, and ordered the clearing and filling in of three hectares of the forest to reclaim land from the sea for future development.
"We want to get this resolved and to recover the community forest because it is vital to the poor people who rely on it," said the leader. He said that cutting down the trees and filling in the area with earth would destroy the area for fishing. "We have tried to warn [the workers], but they didn't listen because their orders came from a high-ranking official." The trees were given to the community in July 2007 by Nao Thuok, the director general of the government's fisheries department, according to Kit Chanratha, the deputy chief of the mangrove fishing community. "We've been waiting since before the elections in July for the provincial fisheries department to stop the destruction of the forest." Spoang Sarath denied involvement with the seizure and clearing of the land. "Some people may have taken advantage of the recent elections to seize the land because they thought we would be too busy to respond." He added that the issue would be resolved once the new government elected during July's national elections was in place. For the small fishing community, however, the damage has been done. Sin Setharoth, deputy chief of the provincial fisheries department, said, "Some of the land that has been cleared and filled has already been titled to new owners." Source: Phnom Penh Post |
| Nursing-Home Residents Bless Children Worldwide |
|
An assisted living center in Coconut Creek FL is blessing children throughout the world with thousands of handmade dolls. Called Dolls for World Peace, the program originated in the Springtree Retirement and Assisted Living Community. Linda Forrest heads up the program, in which residents make dolls for children in unfortunate circumstances.
"There are about 30 retired people who work round the clock here -- [some] with dementia, Alzheimer's, arthritis, people with oxygen tanks," says Forrest, "and it's open 24 hours round the clock because sometimes they can't sleep at night. So they come and work." The flying fingers produce 200 to 300 dolls per week. "They send them to soldiers in Iraq," she says. "And then when the soldiers get them in their box of goodies, they take them out and give them to kids on the streets." Other dolls have gone to children who, so far, have survived the genocide in Darfur, and many to impoverished countries such as Haiti. The project has produced 10,000 dolls so far.

| Cave Creek Rethinks Day-Labor Ban |
|
Town council members in Cave Creek AZ in late August were trying to decide whether to pursue an ordinance. The question: Should the town try again to ban day laborers from soliciting work along town streets?
They discussed the issue at length during a retreat. "They gave no indication one way or the other," Mayor Vincent Francia said. "Bottom line is, they will ponder whether or not they wish to try again." Cave Creek would first have to reach a settlement on attorney's fees with the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups, which successfully prevented Cave Creek from enforcing its first anti-solicitation ordinance. Last year, under community pressure to rid Cave Creek of its day laborers, the town passed a law in September banning people from soliciting work from vehicles when standing on or near public roadways. Half a year later, the ACLU and Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed a complaint challenging the law. On Aug 8, a federal judge permanently blocked Cave Creek from enforcing the ordinance, ruling it an unconstitutional restriction on free speech. Cave Creek is required to pay $133,000 in attorney's fees to the successful challengers. Francia said the town could choose to dispute the payment, which he considered excessive. Council members acknowledged that Cave Creek still had a "problem", six days after Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies arrested 12 illegal immigrants during a crime sweep in Cave Creek. Councilman Thomas McGuire expressed concerns about people who loiter on streets and "camp out" in public washes. "It has financial impacts on the town." Francia passed out copies of an Orange County municipal code targeting day laborers that has so far passed legal muster. "The ordinance I gave to them is from Orange County, so they had reference of an ordinance that, at least to date, has not been challenged by the ACLU." Kristina Campbell, MALDEF staff attorney, said courts across the country have repeatedly ruled anti-solicitation ordinances unconstitutional. "Before other states and local municipalities consider passing similar discriminatory and unlawful ordinances, they should remember that these laws will fail under legal scrutiny and open them up to costly litigation."

| Kids Profit from Porn |
|
Children in South Africa are downloading hardcore pornographic images for R50 (about $6.30 US) and then making a profit by sharing them with their classmates via Bluetooth -- charging R5 each. This is according to Joan Campbell, a child and family therapist specializing in sexual behavior, who said cellphone sex, pornography, and sexually inappropriate behavior among children had soared in the past year.
"I have been inundated with calls from primary schools -- some very upmarket ones -- saying kids are groping each other and what should they do," said Campbell, who has been practising for more than a decade. She said that "groping and rubbing up against each other" was prevalent in poorer communities, but that middle and upper class schools were now calling for help, too. In recent months a number of disturbing incidents have made headlines. One was that children as young as seven were playing "games" called "hit me, hit me" and "rape me, rape me", where they pretended to assault each other. In another, an eight-year-old from a southern suburbs school told another boy to perform oral sex on him at aftercare. The most recent sexual row is over a 12-year-old boy who was suspended from a Milnerton school for allegedly groping 17 fellow pupils. The Western Cape education department wants him allowed back, claiming there had been a procedural error in his disciplinary hearing, according to reports. Campbell said another new phenomenon was of boys in hostels who were taking images of their genitals and sending them to their friends via MXit. "They are doing it because they can." Campbell said boys often filmed their sexual acts to show them as a trophy. Parents sometimes facilitated this behavior by giving cellphones to their children without guidelines or warning of consequences. Adding to the problem is that South Africa, with its high levels of sexual abuse, was a patriarchal society in which there is a lack of respect for females. "And we live in a society where kids rule, and they don't seem to get punished." Campbell said parents were quick to approach lawyers when their children were confronted. "So the children have a perception that there are no consequences to their actions and that they can get away with anything." Campbell believed schools should have the right to expel pupils as long as they had tried treatment and interventions first. "At the end of the day we have to protect the other children."

| Back-to-School Effort Gets Fathers Involved |
|
Including Camden NJ, about 475 US cities -- more than twice last year's total -- are participating in the Million Father March this year in an effort to raise awareness about the necessity of responsible fathers acting as role models. The event, organized by The Black Star Project, a Chicago-based nonprofit, asks dads to accompany their children on the first day of school.
"We're expecting children to be encouraged to do better academically, and studies show that when fathers are involved in their child's lives, they have higher grades, higher grade point averages, and are more likely to graduate high school," said Black Star head Phillip Jackson. "When fathers take their children to school, they feel safer and more comfortable and are able to learn better." In Camden, the push is to have fathers walk their elementary- and middle-school-age children to classes tomorrow, the first day of school, said local organizer Michelle Long. "We're really targeting the elementary and middle schools. Not many high school students want their dads walking them to school the first day. This is for the young adults who don't have a positive role model in their life. We're trying to change that for Camden." "It's important to the school district because fathers hold a critical role in the education of our children," said Camden School District spokesman Bart Leff, "and we need to let them know we appreciate their help." Camden Health and Human Services Director Tony Evans urged fathers to join forces to take back the city because their efforts can make the city great. "We are raising awareness. We're trying to unite fathers all over the country. With the absence of fathers ... it's becoming more and more evident that crime levels are continuing to escalate." Source: Courier-Post |
| Australia Considers Expanding Its Guest Worker Plan |
|
Pacific nations are queuing up to take part in Australia's pilot guest worker program but will have to wait at least 18 months before Canberra considers expanding the scheme. The government has confirmed it will offer 2,500 visas to workers from Tonga, Kiribati, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea to come to Australia for up to seven months a year to work in the horticultural industry. Details are scarce on how the scheme will work, but workers will use an existing temporary visa category to gain entry to Australia.
Pacific nations have for years been urging Australia to allow workers into the country to earn much-needed funds which they could send home to help boost the local economy. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith admits more countries than the four initial participants were keen to take part: "A number of Pacific Island Forum member countries have made it clear to us that they would like to be involved in any pilot program or subsequent scheme." The program will be reviewed in 18 months, and there could be room for expansion at that stage. Smith said, "The capacity is there for us to give consideration to other countries down the track." The Howard government refused to consider a guest worker scheme. The coalition still has serious concerns about the program, such as workers overstaying their visas. Smith said there would be rigorous checks of individual participants to ensure there was no risk of them failing to return home. "The NZ experience has been that returning home has not been a problem. This is ... largely because the people involved regard it of considerable advantage to have that opportunity and they don't want to squander the opportunity in the future." The Australian scheme is modelled on a New Zealand program which takes up to 5,000 workers a year. World Bank senior economist Manjula Luthria believes the impact of the scheme will be overwhelmingly positive. She believes concerns about workers overstaying are unfounded. "They've designed a scheme which allows people on the basis of good work and good behavior to come back here year in, year out," she said. "Just like ... (we) wouldn't do something silly in our jobs, we'd rather have a job for a long time, they wouldn't either." Luthria said there had been both successes and failures with such schemes but those which worked tended to engage the host communities. "The best successes have been in regions where multiple levels of stakeholders have taken part, it's not just something between the employer and the employee," she said. "Rotary, high schools, the churches have (all helped) enhance the overall experience." The NZ experience shows that the seasonal schemes can have a wide-ranging impact on the communities from where the workers come. On average, guest workers saved around $NZ5,000 per year, with those savings flowing back to their home communities upon their return. "We've started to see small villages being transformed in the Pacific, their schools having their roofs fixed up, their water facilities being improved," said Luthria. "There is a real consciousness of what the communities need done." Source: Brisbane Times |
| Labor Issues and Religion Linked in Holiday Weekend Sermons |
|
Connecting his religion with his support for workers' rights, Ted Smukler sees the beginnings of the labor movement in the Old Testament. "I see Shabbat, the commandment that God gave to rest on the seventh day, as really the first reported history of labor legislation," said Smukler of the Chicago-based organization Interfaith Worker Justice. "I see Moses as a labor organizer, as well as a prophet, because he spoke out against the slavery of the people."
To Smukler, kosher law refers to the ethical treatment of workers as well as animals. The connection continues to the present day, he said, citing a recent raid at the nation's largest kosher meatpacking plant in Iowa. On Labor Day weekend, Smukler joined hundreds of other labor leaders and union members in stepping up to the pulpits of churches, synagogues, and mosques in 16 cities to preach about the links between religious communities and the labor movement. The national event, known as Labor in the Pulpits/on the Bimah/in the Minbar, started in 1996 as a joint project of Interfaith Worker Justice and the AFL-CIO. Since then, the number of participating congregations has grown steadily, with labor-themed services replacing traditional Labor Day parades that have largely faded into obscurity. This year, a record 180 congregations in Chicago and surrounding suburbs participated in the event, said local organizers, who attributed the interest to the nation's ailing economy and increased Immigration raids on businesses. Rev Lillian Daniel of the First Congregational Church in Glen Ellyn said the event highlights the common goals of faith and labor: "Both believe in the dignity of the worker, the elimination of poverty, and the mandate to stand with one another in the struggle for a more just society." The Immigration raid at the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant in Postville IW has ignited heated discussions within the Jewish community about kosher laws and workers' rights, said Smukler. "It has really stirred debate about what kosher means and whether people involved in kosher business should not be exploiting their workers." Rabbi Amy Memis-Foler, leader of Temple Judea Mizpah in Skokie, hosted Eli Fishman, Chicago director of the Jewish Labor Committee. Because it is a Reform congregation, Memis-Foler said, most of her members don't observe kosher laws. Nevertheless, she said, the allegations in Postville are important to discuss. "We see it as a humanitarian issue. If we look at the Jewish texts, we see labor is deeply rooted in the faith and part of the history of the Jewish people." Source: Chicago Tribune |
