A proposal to use sharpshooters to cull the deer population in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and Harpers Ferry National Historical parks is still open to public comment an opportunity some local hunters took advantage of Tuesday night.

Superintendents Kevin Brandt of the C&O Canal and Tyrone Brandyburg of Harpers Ferry attended the informational meeting to present the plan "in a succinct way," and to give people an opportunity to ask questions and get further information.

The plan was developed because of the damage too many deer can do to natural vegetation as well as to the overall health of the deer population itself, Brandt said.

Recent National Park Service programs to cull deer have been completed at Antietam and Monocacy National battlefields, and Catoctin Mountain Park.

Brandt said the problem is that deer feeding on vegetation is resulting in the loss of forest areas in the parks.

"It would be a bigger job of regenerating the forest without culling" the herd, he said.

Brandt said the park service monitors vegetation to see whether to cull the herds, and does deer density counts in some areas.

But hunters attending the meeting said they don't think there are as many deer as the park service believes. And if there are, why not let local hunters take care of the problem?

Among them was Washington County Board of Commissioners' President Terry Baker.

"I'm obviously here in opposition to bringing in sharpshooters to the C&O Canal," he told Herald-Mail Media, particularly in the western part of the county.

Baker said he believes there are fewer deer there than in previous years.

"This was the first year in 15 years that I haven't harvested a buck on my own property," he said.

Baker called the proposal to hire sharpshooters "appalling."

"Why do I want to waste taxpayers' money when we have our own sportsmen" who could hunt the deer, he asked.

Fellow hunters Keith Weller of Hagerstown and Tom Drury of Cearfoss agreed. Both hunt on property near the canal, they said.

"We're seeing fewer (deer) all the time," Drury said.

Where they once filled feeders every week, now they fill them every month, they said.

"We talk to a lot of people," Weller said. "Everybody's saying the same thing."

But Brandt said culling operations on the canal would be far away from Washington County, at least for a while. And it wouldn't involve that many deer.

He said the park service would target the Gold Mine track in the Great Falls area in Montgomery County.

"The science tells us that taking out 50 in the first year will greatly improve regeneration of the forest," Brandt said. "We won't rush to do other areas."

Brandyburg said about that many would likely be culled from the Harpers Ferry park, in the areas of Maryland Heights in Washington County and Bolivar Heights in Jefferson County, W.Va.

Another meeting is scheduled Wednesday night from 6 to 8 at the Stephen T. Mather Training Center in Harpers Ferry.

A final meeting will be conducted from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center in Potomac, Md.

The White-tailed Deer Management Plan and Environmental Assessment is available online, and comments on the plan will be accepted through May 16.

Hunters oppose Md. and W.Va. parks' deer-control plan - Herald-Mail Media

THE NATIONAL Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) committee on media reform will today consider removing the proposed licensing requirement for media professionals from its draft media regulation bill due to strong industry opposition and concerns that such a requirement could lead to more problems, chairman ACM Kanit Suwannet said.

However, the proposed 15-person national media council will still include two representatives from the government to ensure smooth cooperation between the public and private sector on media affairs, he said, adding that the two slots would be phased out in six years after two fixed terms of three years each are completed.

The Thai Journalists Association (TJA) plans to submit a formal letter to the NRSA vice president Alongkorn Ponlaboot today asking for the proposed reform draft to be withdrawn.

The licensing requirement and government representation on the national media council have become hot issues for the government as it faces strong criticism for attempting to control the media sector

According to Kanit, the government would not be able to interfere in media affairs or curb media freedom because the media sector would have up to seven representatives on the 15-member council, while the NRSA committee had agreed to consider removing the controversial licensing requirement as a compromise with opponents of the bill.

In addition, he said, government representatives on the media council were necessary to ensure that both public and private sectors work together to reform the media sector, but the national media council would in the end have only 13 members after two government slots are removed after six years.

At this stage, the permanent secretaries of the PMs Office and Ministry of Culture are tipped to be the governments representatives on the national media council.

However, Chaovarong Limpatama-panee, president of the National Press Council of Thailand (NPCT), said earlier he would not join a committee tasked with preparing the establishment of the new national media council as suggested by the NRSA.

NPCT spokesman Pratchaya-chai Datuyawat said the government would still be able to interfere in media affairs due to the proposed structure of the new national media council, even though the licensing requirement might be suspended at this stage. He said other professional bodies such as Medical Council or the Lawyers Council had no government representatives on their board.

Yesterday, reporters covering Parliament also urged the NRSA to withdraw the draft media regulation bill, saying in a statement: It is unacceptable to let the state take part in favouring or penalising mass media and social media practitioners as stipulated in the draft bill.

Journalists and members of the public have raised concerns that such a mechanism would give authorities undue control over the media, which should be independent given their role in scrutinising various authorities.

Any law related to the media should be designed to protect rights and freedom of the media practitioners to create a mechanism for freedom of the press on the basis of public interest, they said in the statement.

Media bodies have also threatened to protest on World Press Freedom Day this Wednesday and have vowed to fight it at every stage of the legislation.

Since last week, many media professionals have framed their social networking profile photos with a picture of pigeons breaking free from a chain, with the motto: Stop licensing the media. Stop controlling the people.

They also took to change.org calling for the NRSA to halt deliberations. More than 400 people have signed the online petition.

The bill would set a punishment for media practising without a licence at three years imprisonment and a fine of up to Bt60,000.

Veteran journalist Suthichai Yoon wrote in his column Black Coffee in Krungthep Turakij, The Nations sister newspaper, that reporting under such conditions would make it impossible for the media to be straightforward or question abuses of power.

Politicians would definitely be able to interfere through the professional council directly or indirectly, he wrote.

In addition, Suthichai pointed out the licence reflected the line of thought of authoritarianism that aims to control freedom of expression.

Press freedom is peoples freedom. If one wants to chain the media, then he wants to cage the peoples thoughts, the journalist wrote.

Pramed Lekpetch, TJA president, said the media had no problem with having a professional council. However, such a mechanism should rely on self-regulation with no state interference.

This is not media reform. It is media control and opens they way for the state to interfere with us, Pramed said.

What the media had to do was warn the people of the dangers that the bill would make scrutiny impossible amid a plague of corruption, Pramed said. And the media must send the message to the powers-that-be that reforms, not a control mechanism, were necessary.

Thepchai Yong, president of the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association, said the bill would have a chilling effect on press freedom as the media would be vulnerable to political interference. He said the proposed media ethics council, staffed partly with top bureaucrats and given vast powers, could be easily abused. If the military junta allows this bill to become law, it will essentially hand the politicians coming to power in the future a legal tool to control the media, he said.

Thepchai appealed to the NRSA to seriously ponder the consequences. It would deal a big blow not only to press freedom but also to Thai peoples freedom of expression, he said.

NRSA rethink on media licensing - The Nation

(New York) The Thai government should immediately withdraw the latest draft law that seeks to tighten control of news reporting in Thailand, Human Rights Watch said today. The Media Reform Committee at the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA), whose members are appointed by the military junta, announced that the National Assembly will consider the bill on May 1, 2017.

A Thai journalist covers his eyes, ears, and mouth to protest the proposed draft law that tightens government control of news reporting.

2016 Chavarong Limpattamapanee

The Bill on the Protection and Promotion of Media Rights, Freedom, Ethics and Professional Standards provides for a government-appointed national media council to regulate all media platforms print, broadcast, or online. It also subjects anyone who directly or indirectly earns income from reporting news to the public without a license and their company, agency, or organization to up to two years in prison and a 60,000 baht (US$1,715) fine.

The misnamed media rights and freedom law is the juntas latest attempt to increase government interference and control of any independent news reporting, said Brad Adams, Asia director. Passage of this draft law would mean that reporters in Thailand will be constantly looking over their shoulder at a government-appointed panel that can have them jailed.

Asia Director

More than 30 media organizations in Thailand including the Thai Journalists Association, the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association, the National Press Council of Thailand, the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand, the Online News Providers Association, and the Thailand Cable TV Association have expressed strong concerns that the proposed law would invite government interference in the media and prompt journalists to censor themselves to avoid potential reprisals including the threat of having their licenses revoked.

The ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) under Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Cha-ocha has frequently pledged that it will respect freedom of expression and independence of the media. The government reiterated this pledge most recently in March at the United Nations Human Rights Committee during the review of Thailands rights record. However, the juntas record on freedom of expression has been poor. Thai authorities have repeatedly harassed and prosecuted people for their speech, writings, and internet postings even mildly critical of the government.

Immediately after the May 2014 coup, the junta forced off the air satellite and digital TV channels and community radio stations associated with all political factions. Some were later allowed to resume broadcasting provided that they signed a memorandum of understanding with the junta that the broadcaster would not make any critical comments about the junta or the situation in Thailand.

The junta has maintained media censorship through various decrees. NCPO Announcement 97/2014 bans criticism of the work of the NCPO and the dissemination of information that could harm national security, cause confusion, or incite conflict or divisions in the country. All news outlets are compelled to distribute the information issued by the junta.

NCPO Announcement 103/2014 prohibits the propagation of news or the distribution of any publication containing information that the authorities consider intentionally distorted to cause public misunderstanding that affects national security or public order. This has effectively turned the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) into a censorship tool for the junta, with broad and unaccountable powers to suspend the broadcast of TV and radio programs or take a station off the air because of content that the authorities consider distorted, divisive, or a threat to national security.

The proposed media law is taking Thailand even further away from the juntas promised election and restoration of democratic rule, Adams said. Instead of adopting another repressive law, the government should lift censorship and the rights abusing regulations that are destroying free expression in Thailand.

Read story transcript

Serena McKay was just 19 when she was killed in Sagkeeng First Nation in northern Manitoba.

And the crime was made all the more disturbing by a video posted on Facebookthat appears to show McKay being violently assaulted.

Two teenaged girls have been charged with second degree murder in McKay's death.

Facebook has removed the video though it's still working on stopping it from being shared on the Messenger app.

It's the latest video posted on Facebook, showing a disturbing incident of real violence, either posted or streamed live. And it is raising questions about how social media should handle this disturbing content.

Jacqueline Helfgott, a professor of criminal justice at Seattle University, says that for some people, social media can be a motivating factor for a crime.

Serena McKay, 19, was found dead, April 23, in Sagkeeng First Nation. Two teenage girls have been arrested in connection with her death.

"Social media creates opportunities for people who aren't famousto be famous," Helfgott tells The Current's Friday host Laura Lynch.

"And there's an element of that in these types of crimes."

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said his organization is working on preventing the sharing or streaming of videos of crime. But experts are asking how exactly that should be done.

"Even with all of the advances in machine learning and AI, we are nowhere near being able to filter content like that at internet scale," says Hany Farid, a professor of computer science at Dartmouth College.

"There is a gap between what we can do and what we want to do."

However, Daphne Keller, the director of intermediary liability at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society, questions whether machine monitoring is something we should even want to do.

"The idea that we can have an automated machine that can detect what's illegal from what's legal is pretty risky," Keller tells Lynch.

'I can never unsee it,' says elder Alma Kakinapinace who found Serena McKay's body in Sagkeeng First Nation. (CBC)

Farid advocates bringing people into the decision process, to work with machines in making sure decisions on what content to take down are ethical. He says it's a complex process that would require an investment of time, staff and money.

"I don't think Facebook is putting enough effort in ... and this is probably true of most of the tech companies," he says.

"They put a huge amount of effort into data mining. They put a huge amount of effort into advertising. They put a huge amount of effort into the latest features, like Live. And I think the efforts that are going into really making sure these platforms are safe are much, much less," Farid points out.

Keller, however, sees bigger ethical problems with the monitoring effort altogether.

"Platforms like Facebook are the public square," she says.

"Unlike the public square historically, they're run by a private company that is subject to media pressures and legal pressures and can choose to just silence difficult speech, or controversial speech, or minority speech if that is what makes the media and shareholders happier," Keller tells Lynch.

"Do we want a system where that private actor is systematically erring on the side of caution?"
