About 25 NSW councils were successful in getting a rate variation. At its extraordinary meeting last Thursday to set the rate, Council had to defer the matter until later in the day when the Minister’s advice arrived. Councillors then voted unanimously to set the rate and various other charges such as waste management fees. Mayor Jan Barham said the approval of the rate increase is recognition of the strong case put by Council of the need for addi- tional funds to provide services to the community. ‘Council’s submission included letters of support and it is appreci- ated that Byron United were able to provide their support for the rate increase request,’ said Cr Barham in a press release. ‘There are many projects that Council is seeking to An effigy of the Woolworths ‘big box’ goes up in flames at last Saturday’s rally in Mullumbimby.

  • Eritrean Refugees in Buffalo Background
    FACT SHEET July 8, 2015 Eritrean Refugees in Buffalo 1 Please note that this is a rough-and-ready guide, and that these facts will not be applicable to all Eritrean refugees that you meet. Background Eritrea was once part of Ethiopia but began a struggle for independence in the 1960s and finally became established as a separate country in 1993.2 The civil war that preceded the separation lasted for approximately 30 years, beginning while Eritrea was still considered part of Ethiopia and continued until 2000, even after independence was granted.3 Three waves of migration from Eritrea to the US occurred in the 1980s and 1990s, as refugees escaped the violent civil war, finding safety in refugee camps in surrounding countries, and then more recently as individuals (mostly men) sought to escape the mandatory national service.4 Despite the peace treaty with Ethiopia signed in 2000, there has been escalating tension along the border, along with discrimination against evangelical Christians and ethnic minority groups.5 The most common ethnic group in Eritrea is Tigrean.6 1 Cultural Attributes Belief Systems and Values The two major religions practiced in Eritrea are The Five Pillars of Islam Christianity and Islam7: 55% Catholic Shahadah: profession of faith in God 16% Protestant Salah: prayer towards Makkah, Islam's 16% Muslim (almost all Sunni) holiest city Zakat: almsgiving, service to God In Buffalo, the Debre Selam Medhane Alem Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is Sawm: fasting during the holy month of attended by both Ethiopians and Eritreans. Ramadan Additionally, there are a number of mosques and Hajj: the pilgrimage to Makkah Islamic centers in the area, although they are not necessarily aimed at the East African community.
