A farmer who has served two jail terms for contempt of court has thrown down the gauntlet to the State's top judge and the Department of Environmental Regulation by clearing land on his Munglinup property.

Max Szulc said yesterday that he had been busy clearing native vegetation regrowth on his farm since being released from jail in February after spending 15 months behind bars.

Chief Justice Wayne Martin has sent Mr Szulc to jail twice for contempt of court - the first time for three months - over a clearing dispute that started in 2009.

The 65-year-old said he was willing to go to jail for a third time over the issue which he admitted had "bled him dry".

"I've been busy clearing land since I got out of jail. I'm convinced they (DER, formerly known as the Department of Conservation) have been watching me through satellite images but they haven't bothered coming out," Mr Szulc said. "I'm prepared to go back to jail."

Mr Szulc said he felt vindicated last week when the State Government relaxed laws on land clearing that have led to a series of bitter court battles with farmers.

The changes allow farmers to clear 5ha of native vegetation a year for farm management and infrastructure projects, up from 1ha a year.

Environment Minister Albert Jacob also moved to slash protection on native vegetation regrowth on land previously used for agriculture. Farmers can now unlock land legally cleared in the past 20 years instead of the previous 10-year limit.

"Even before the regulations were changed last week I believed I was right," Mr Szulc said. "The whole issue is the land was legally cleared in the past, the vegetation was written off at that time and now they want to reclaim it."

Neighbors of George D. Harlow Field are wondering why tree and land clearing at the town-owned airport has been allowed to continue after state officials issued a noncompliance notice for the ongoing $15.34 million runway improvement project.

State Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Joseph Ferson said the noncompliance notice was issued Nov. 19 after local officials failed to adhere to a 2012 variance for the project, which will widen the runway to 100 feet, extend it by 300 feet, shift it 190 feet west of the current surface and add 300-foot paved safety buffers at each end.

The notice states that officials failed to submit required information prior to the start of construction and failed to seek approval of changes made to plans and documents.

It does not require they cease work, Ferson said. It requires that they respond and address those specific violations within 30 days, and we go from there.

But resident Joseph Pecevich said its troubling that the work has been allowed to go on even though conditions that officials agreed upon are not being met.

People are outraged and disgusted and saddened to see what happened, he said.

Resident Peter Howard also said he cant believe state environmental officials would allow such wide-scale clearing to continue.

What theyve done to the environment is outrageous, he said. If you put a shovel in the wetlands down at Wollaston Beach, you could get arrested for tampering with wetlands, yet theyre bringing in machinery thats incredibility huge.

Town airport commission Chairman Robert Reilly said Tuesday that officials have responded to the noncompliance notice, explaining that the violation is the result of miscommunication between two Department of Environmental Protection offices the Boston office and the Southeast office

Because so many permits were required, officials in the Boston office agreed to allow airport officials to respond to the conditions only when all appeals and negotiations had ended, but that was not communicated to the Southeast office the office that issued the noncompliance notice, Reilly said.

SUNGAI PETANI: THE Kedah government is committed to get Lembah Bujang listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, said Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir yesterday.

Mukhriz also urged certain quarters to stop manipulating the recent demolition of a candi by a private developer. He said the ancient remnants in the valley represented a civilisation comprising Hinduism, Buddhism and Islamic influences dating back to the 8th century.

As such, he urged all parties to view the Lembah Bujang valley issue from the bigger perspective of an ancient civilisation.

While stressing that the state government was not downplaying the importance of the candi at Site 11 in Sungai Batu, which was demolished during land clearing works, he said it was crucial to view the importance of Lembah Bujang as a potential tourist attraction.

"First of all, the demolished structure at site 11 is not an eight-century-old candi, but a reconstructed foundation rebuilt in 1974 on the candi's original site.

"The state government is committed to preserve and rehabilitate all the ancient remnants from the Hindus, Buddhist and Muslim civilisations in Lembah Bujang. Thus, if we only focus on a Hindu structure alone, then we will be missing the much bigger point here.

"In fact, Maharaja Derba Raja XI had converted to Islam and changed his name to Sultan Muzaffar Shah from 1136, which marked the beginning of Islamic and Malay civilisation in Lembah Bujang and the state," he said after attending a luncheon with members of the Kedah and Perlis Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).

On the Unesco listing, Mukhriz said the previous Kedah administrations had made several attempts to obtain the listing but the state had to comply with several requirements set by the world body.

"The state is committed to secure the Unesco listing as Lembah Bujang has potential to become an international tourism attraction as one of the earliest civilisations existed in the region."

Police responded to a workplace accident Tuesday in Beaver Bank involving an injured outdoor worker.

RCMP said the incident happened at about 8:25 a.m. at the Lost Creek Golf Course outside Halifax. A 50-year-old worker received burns to his body while clearing land, a police spokesman said.

Cpl. Scott MacRae said the victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre with serious burns, but his condition was not believed to be life-threatening.

The worker got into trouble while clearing land at the course, MacRae said. He said the incident took place after the man poured accelerant on brush and it became engulfed.

MacRae said the accelerant was accidentally directed at the man and he was badly burned.

Paramedics attended to the worker and took him to hospital.

MacRae said the Labour Departments occupational health and safety division is investigating the incident.

Department spokeswoman Chrissy Matheson said worker-safety staff are at the scene of the accident.

Prominent Victorian interior designer Stuart Rattle was killed days before his South Yarra unit was burnt out, police claim.

Prominent Victorian interior designer Stuart Rattle was killed days before his South Yarra unit was burnt out, police claim.

Mr Rattle, who designed the homes of many high-profile Melbourne families and owned Musk Farm near Daylesford, was found dead in his South Yarra home in the early hours of Monday.

But in a charge sheet tendered to Melbourne Magistrates Court, police allege Mr Rattle was murdered by his partner, Michael ONeill, on Wednesday last week.

ONeill, 47, appeared briefly in court yesterday to face one charge of murder.

He did not say anything during his appearance, but wiped his nose with a tissue as he entered the dock flanked by security guards, and appeared as though he had been crying.

Chief magistrate Peter Lauritsen remanded him in custody to return to court on June 5.

ONeill was charged with murder yesterday morning. The charge sheet listed his home suburb as South Yarra.

Firefighters discovered Mr Rattles body after battling a blaze at the two-storey apartment complex in Malvern Road.

Interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn recently gave Domaine an exclusive peek inside his 600-square-foot one-bedroom apartment in the Hollywood Hills, which despite some original "murder-y looking contractor grade tile and breathe-and-you-might-get-SARS bedroom carpeting" has clearly been transformed into one of the West Coast's most stylish bachelor pads. Striving for a preppy, Americana vibewith heavy influence drawn from the '50s and '60sthe Atlanta-based designer's first order involved replacing the offensive carpeting with cork flooring in the bathroom and kitchen and whitewashed vinyl faux-wood plank in the bedroom, and then installing vintage lighting fixtures throughout the rest of the midcentury home.

Enlisting what Domaine describes as his "one-of-a-kind-meets-big-box design technique," Flynn then scoured local flea markets for good stufflike a vintage Circle K convenience store wall artand paired such findings with an oversize painting of Steve McQueen from his personal collection and a humble $299 Ikea bed. The end result? Vibrant, eclectic, and personal. "Every single thing inside my space is there because I was drawn to it, brought it home, and made it my own," explains the designer. "For me, that's what interior design is all about." Domaine has the full story and tons of photos, right this way.
