Mar 31:  Eco-Saturday

Some days can get surprisingly busy for the Lamma-zine, when Lamma-Gung is biking and hiking from event to event taking photos and chatting with, eh, interviewing people, especially on weekends. For example today, Saturday, March 31, I've been visiting 5 different events and activities in a single day, most of them with environmental themes and each worthy of a more detailed story.

Just for now, here's a little overview with "wide-screen" photos, like a sneak peek. More info & photos from some of these activities below will appear soon.

Mar 30:  More Reclamations & Rock Caverns?

As part of the Govt.'s Enhancing Land Supply Strategy about Reclamations outside Victoria Harbour and Rock Cavern Development, they're suggesting 2 new reclamations around Lamma Island, expanding the Lamma Quarry out into SKW bay and building a new artificial island north of Yung Shue Wan, New North Lamma. The unusually high-profile consultations with live webcasts, website, TV/radio commercials will end tomorrow, deadline for public comments, Mar 31.

Submit your comments NOW!

In addition to the suggested 2 reclamation locations on Lamma, they also highlighted 4 location on the island of existing Govt. facilities that might be considered for future development of rock caverns and underground spaces. These would be used to house the Govt.'s NIMBY facilities (Not In My Backyard) that people don't like to see above ground.

See the drawing from the consultation document below. Notice the windturbine above the rock cavern?

Mar 29:  US$ 100.86

Today, Mar 29, my very first-ever payment from Google AdSense arrived in my HSBC account! Hurray! But it took from Nov 2006 - Feb 2012 to accumulate the total sum of US$ 100.86 in Google AdSense for Search micro payments on this entire website, averaging only about US$1.50/month!

Well, after this first nice, but very modest and slooow success, I've recently added 3 new Google AdSense for Search boxes on this home page, see above and right, trying to generate a little bit of additional advertising revenue. Well, US$34.36 in total Estimated earnings so far this month. So I might get another cheque in 3 months or so, hopefully. Not bad, but all this Google advertising doesn't even add up to the income from a single regular ad banner on this page.

Are you bothered by this 3 new, rotating, automatically-selected and often animated Google ad banners? Which locations would be acceptable? Let me know, as our readers' interests come first, of course. This site is for fun, not for profit.

So the best and most realistic way of helping this Lamma community website survive and prosper beyond the 10th anniversary in July seems to be attracting more local advertisers; or off-island advertisers (like moving companies) trying to reach Lamma visitors and residents.

We're offering banner ads, advertorial stories, email shots, free links/photo shoots/web pages, sponsorships, and even Facebook marketing for your business. Here's our bilingual ratecard. Contact me! Let's meet up anywhere on Lamma, anytime, 7 days a week!

I suck at selling advertising, not being a natural salesperson and much more interested in people, stories, events, discussions, photos ... CONTENT!
If you or your friend are a Chinese-speaking Lammaite and could help to sell advertising at HUGE commission, please contact me!

Mar 28:  Did You Lose Your Bike Today?

Do you wonder what happened to your bike you've parked on the YSW ferry pier for at least two days, since Monday morning? It's probably been cut off the pier railing this morning by Lamma police, assisted by at least 5 Govt. Depts. in their action against "Illegal Occupation at YSW Ferry Pier Pathway". The confiscated bikes, including some new and expensive ones, have all been transported by 2 VVs to the Waste Transfer Station besides the YSW Helipad and thrown into their trash compactor to be crushed and discarded into a landfill!

This is a first in Lamma's history as the occasional clean-up operations, approx. every 2 years, were not very controversial before. They always had a much longer notice period (up to 1 week) and the few old, usually abandoned confiscated bikes and trolleys were stored and then sold off in auction, never destroyed (as far as we know). This big operation today looked more like a drastic crackdown than the occasional low-key cleanup operations.

Fortunately, up to 20 bikes not chained to the railing have been saved by some daring Lammaites from the pier and moved to the Library, just before the crackdown started. The police would not allow any saving action after bikes had been cut off the railings with bolt cutters, threatening arrests. Heated arguments and standoffs ensued, but to no avail in the end and no arrests have been made.

If you left your bike on the ferry pier only yesterday or today, then you're probably safe. They only confiscated the ones with numbered notices, attached on Monday morning. They had photos (see above) of all 387 leafleted bikes and confiscated 17 they could find still locked on the pier this morning.

(2 trash compactor photos above by Jo Wilson ("Full-time mum and
environmental campaigner"), all other photos by L-G)

There's a T-CPA (Temporary Cycle Parking Area) outside the Library now, a unique sight only today as almost all these bikes will likely return to the ferry pier by tomorrow, till the next Govt. crackdown or the permanent CPA construction.

For the full story, see our outraged forum, well before the SCM Post will report on the crackdown tomorrow:  Bike removal from YSW ferry pier on Wed, Mar 28.

For more photos of what happened to the bikes today:  Flickr photos.

Mar 27:  Chow Yun-Fat's Trees in Full Bloom

2 of the 4 trees that Lamma's favourite son and most famous Lammaite, Fat-Gor, planted almost 2 years ago are now in stunning full bloom, up in Tai Yuen Village, on the Family Trail from YSW to Hung Shing Yeh beach. If you've missed Chow Yun-fat planting these trees, here's my world-exclusive photo gallery, which has been copied (w/o permission) to so many Chinese websites worldwide:

Yes, many of us Lammaites are tree-huggers and we're proud of it! There'll be a Green Lamma Green tree caring event plus a Lamma Forest tree maintenance program happening this weekend. More public tree plantings are planned in the next few weeks and months.

Mar 26:  Save Your Bike!

If your bikes is currently parked at the YSW ferry pier, or you plan to park there in the next two days, be aware of this 386 (!) numbered notices that have just been stapled onto all the bikes parked today. If your bike is still there in two days, Wed, March 28, it'll be stolen, eh, confiscated by police, sold in auction as crap material and you will NEVER get it back, whatever you do or sue; that's the law!

Our forum has been erupting within hours of the notices: Mar 28, 2012

Former forum discussions about the most recent ferry pier bike clearances:

Nov 26, 2010 -- Apr 9, 2008 -- Oct 19 & 21, 2005 -- Aug 28, 2004

After Mar 28, it should be OK to park bikes at the ferry pier again, till the next clearance. In the meantime, the CPA platform (Cycle Parking Area) between the ferry pier and the Library is moving ever closer to being built, supported by another very successful signature campaign and lobbying by our District Council and Rural Committee; despite fierce opposition from many local bike riders and green groups.

Look forward to more Lamma-zine stories and forum discussions in our Environment, Politics & Development forum soon, as the CPA is probably the most divisive Lamma development issue right now.

Mar 25:  Xtreme Eagles Soar

Extreme Flight:
Eagles Soar to the Top

LAMMA ISLAND, Hong Kong --
Sun, March 25 -- Call it an extreme repeat!

In a stunning upset, the Xtreme Eagles toppled the previously undefeated Lamma Warriors in three straight games on Sunday to emerge as season-two champions in the four-team Lamma Island Pinay Volleyball League. In doing so, they defended a title they won in the league's inaugural season last year.

Unwilling to wilt no matter how much pressure the blue-uniformed Warriors applied, the Eagles (wearing a variation of purple) handily took the best-of-five championship showdown by scores of 27-25, 25-14 and 25-19. The Warriors, who had entered the final with a perfect record in season two, were considered to be strong favorites.

The Eagles surprised even themselves, admitted team leader Violy Vhiong (see right). "We thought they would be the winners," she said.

But the Eagles looked more ready, more determined and more sharply focused. On some plays, they also enjoyed better luck with the ball bouncing sprightly in their favor.

How did Violy and her irrepressible teammates achieve the surprise result? "I don't know," Violy said. "Maybe it was because we practiced hard on Wednesday and on Saturday. We really wanted to give them a good fight. But as it turned out, we are the winners so we're much happier with that."

Mar 20:  Afternoon Tea on the 100/F

Living on an island with not a single building taller than three floors (plus the occasional "rooftop glasshouse"), spending a leisurely afternoon today on the 100th floor is a quite unusual, exotic, even surreal experience. I was meeting up with an old friend, my former staff in two companies. He had continued his career in China after our online travel agency dotcom startup was absorbed into Tom.com during the last Year of the Dragon, 12 years ago. We both had never been up on the new ICC building's 100/F Observation Deck with 360-degree views all over HK. But what was even more impressive than the absolutely amazing views (www.sky100.com.hk) were the window washers in their gondola, see above!

Watching these fearless guys at work made me wonder why there's no bungy jump at the ICC, like the one from the Macau Tower. It could become the highest bungy jump in the world, even overtaking the current record holder, The World's Highest Bungy 233m from the Macau Tower!

This high-rise Observation Deck reminded us of launching a virtual, 3D-computer-animated time capsule into Cyberspace from the glass pyramid at the very top of Central Plaza in Wanchai, during our company's 40th anniversary celebration in the last millennium. We received a standing ovation back then. Aaah, those were our salad days, our glory heydays! We chatted till sunset as the Observation Deck was almost deserted on this Tuesday afternoon. Check out the 2-for-1 tickets on Wednesdays for HK residents only.

Maybe we should organise a similar event for the 10th anniversary of this website on July 23? Well, back then during our cyberspace-time-capsule days I had a multi-million-$ budget for my website, so the celebrations now would definitely be a little bit more low-key this time....

July 23 might be a great day for a Macau Tower bungy jump, who's coming along? I've already emailed a tentative booking enquiry for that date, but please don't tell Lamma-Por. She was sooo worried last time I did the feet-first SkyJump ('You Great Big Idiot!')


P.S. Email just in from Joycelyn, Lobby Attendant, AJ Hackett Macau Tower:

"Hi Lamma-Gung,

Thank you for your interest in "The World's Highest Bungy 233m"!

Currently your booking is made at 11:00am on the 23rd of July, 2012....

  • Please arrive at the 61st level at least 20 minutes prior to your booking time.
  • Your jump time may differ from your booking time due to many unexpected factors. Your booking time is an approximate time that you will jump. We will make every attempt to jump you as soon as possible.

  • Safety is our number one priority.-We jump clients in groups and make the jump order depending on their weight and bungy cord that they will jump on...

  • All bungy jumps are weather dependent; AJ Hackett Macau Tower cannot guarantee that you will be able to jump when you pre-booked.

Mar 6:  Medical Emergency Helicopter Flights

Pictures taken late last year on my Sunday morning stroll on the path up to
Hunter's (Kam Lo Hom), starting behind the YSW Playground.

Talking to a friend over Sunday brunch, while we were watching another medevac from our YSW helipad this Sunday morning, she described her seven flights in the medical emergency helicopter to hospital, for various reasons, for herself or to accompany a family member. Is this the record of medevac heli flights for a single person so far on Lamma, or is there somebody who's even got more flights? Is there a helicopter frequent flyer program in the Govt. Flying Services?

Talking to friends at a wonderful birthday Indian buffet dinner in The Waterfront last night, MOST had been on at least one of these free flights before. At an estimated cost of HK$40,000(?) per flight, the 200+ medical emergency helicopter flights per year (2010) from Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan are definitely much more costly for tax payers than improving our local medical emergency services and getting a 24/7 medical service on Lamma. I've started a poll in our forum to get an idea of how many heli flights a single Lammaite has taken:

How many times have you been on a medical evacuation helicopter flight from Lamma, either as a patient or accompanying somebody?

24 people so far: 15: Never - 1 time: 5 - 2 times: 3 - 3 times: 1!
Submit your number!

Mar 5:  Southern Lamma Nightlife

Jay Scott Kanes - Official Court Senior Pet Correspondent:

Southern Lamma Nightlife:
'A Paradise for Wild Pigs'?

LO SO SHING – When I walked across the Lamma hills to chat with Paul Lau Kwok-leung, an authority on Hong Kong butterflies, little did I expect that our discussion would turn to a much-weightier, less-colorful topic – that of wild pigs.

After sharing his encyclopedic knowledge about beautiful winged insects, Paul gave me a remarkable bonus – a guided daytime tour to the nocturnal rooting-tooting-stomping grounds of a wild-pig herd. It's just a short walk from his home in Lo So Shing village, near Sok Kwu Wan.

"Wild pigs come here after dark – there must be dozens of them," said Paul. He then described what sounded like an entirely new variety of wild party on Lamma, very boaring (but not boring).

To the left of a footpath leading to Lo So Shing Beach, Paul pointed out large patches of uprooted and peeled back vegetation and turf, almost like rolled-up carpet, exposing the dirt below. He said that wild pigs had systematically harvested roots, edible bulbs and other vegetation bits that they like to eat.

"Around here, they are really changing the landscape," Paul said. "They've dug up lots of places in small patches all around Lo So Shing. Anywhere they can find edible bulbs underground they'll turn the soil upside down."

What remains visible by day after the pig-parties is a lot of heavily nosed-through and trod-upon dirt, criss-crossed by piles of plowed-together plant material that apparently didn't interest the night-feeders. Near the footpath, the dug-up-and-rooted patches reveal plastic bottles and other litter that passing humans earlier had tossed there.

Most Lamma residents have heard a few fellow islanders mention sporadic sightings of wild pigs or hoof-prints along seldom-used hiking routes. Never seeing such creatures personally, they tend to regard the stories as a rural myth.

No way! The wild pigs are real, Paul insisted. He has seen them and even photographed several one night at about 3 a.m. after they pushed past a fence and invaded his landlord's sweet-potato patch.

Convinced that wild pigs have been mating and multiplying deep in the woods, Paul described the wilderness on southern Lamma, especially near Lo So Shing, as "turning into a paradise for wild pigs". He believes that some of the night prowlers are youngsters -- piglets. By day, the animals probably rest in hiding places deep in the woods where they're confident humans won't appear.

Compared to farm pigs, the wild ones are bigger, darker, equipped with sharp tusks and covered in thick hair (much like cavemen once were). "They're really hairy," Paul said."They hear and smell extremely well, but their eyesight may be weak."

Paul theorises that a few years ago several wild pigs must have arrived on Lamma by swimming, probably from the New Territories. "They're good swimmers," he said. "Fishermen have seen them in the water before."

"Since some of their champion swimmers came over, they have prospered and are becoming more and more dominant in our nature scene. Their population is not small now, and it's going to multiply."

These animals can give birth to 10 or more piglets per litter, which means lots of hungry mouths to feed. Even so, the wild pigs seldom wander near Yung Shue Wan, probably to avoid the bigger human presence there. Likewise, they avoid Sok Kwu Wan's often-crowded main street. Normally, they won't attack people, but could turn ornery and aggressive if they feel threatened, startled, cornered or obliged to protect their youngsters.

Before long, staff from Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) will need to start coming to Lamma on pig-chasing expeditions, Paul predicted. Usually the AFCD acts only after public complaints.

Eventually, a group of urban-dwellers visiting Lamma may wander off a main footpath and get badly lost. Then imagine them placing an emergency phone call, demanding police protection because they've been "surrounded by wild pigs". In heavily populated Hong Kong, not many people have such a wilderness experience.

Paul Lau:
'They're really hairy.'

Having completely rooted through one clearing…

…the nightly prowlers started on another.

Mar 4:  'The Dragon Swaying Along the Road'

During Sundays, quite a number of formal and informal religious activities are being organised and open to Lammaites, mainly church services and gatherings, often advertised on our walls. I was having lunch with a Catholic and a Muslim today; afterwards we strolled by the Watchtower people proselytizing on Main Street - where you can often see our Poor Clare Nuns of the Portiuncula Monastery, cheerful Filipinos coming from the Lady of Lourdes Sunday service, Chinese grave sweepers with flowers and food, Hindus on the way to an Indian restaurant, Thai Buddhists walking past Baha'i Faith posters, and even Tibetan Buddhist Lamas leaving the Lamma Meditation Centre.

I was wondering where an old cynic who lost his faith in his misspent youth can find spiritual guidance these days (outside of our bars, of course). Then we arrived at the ferry pier and my (non-religious) prayer was suddenly answered, the grey sky opening up to sunshine and my eyes drawn to the pillars of the YSW ferry pier where Law Fong has been sticking up his hand-written, mysterious posters once again. Being intrigued and having too much spare time on my hands while waiting for the ferry, I took a few photos, after quite enjoying these Sanctimonious Sunday Sermons by Law Fong which reminded me of the late inimitable, indomitable and irritable Pinky Chan.

Does anybody know our local street preacher, rallying against "the devil's roads", "the dragon swaying along the road", and "drunk and sleepless driving" on our car-free island, even trying to teach us poor sinners to repent and become a "very good person" with "high moral principle"?

Mar 3:  Submit Your CPA Comments

Posters and banners for and against the proposed CPA (Cycle Parking Area, see location above) have appeared in the last few weeks in YSW. It looks almost like another election, but Govt. is very eager to go ahead with this already approved project and so are our local politicians and many residents, despite some very outspoken and well-reasoned opposition.

But the comments from Lammaites will play at least some role if this very contentious and divisive project will be built pretty soon, or further delayed, or maybe one of the several alternative solutions re-considered? This issue has been simmering for more than ten years:

The pro-CPA signature campaign has succeeded once again in collecting a large number of signatures, separated by residents and visitors, but the final numbers are not available yet. But a considerable number of objections have also been submitted by mail and email. Make your voice heard and submit your comments, pro or con, by next Tue, Mar 6. Check out our very active, long-running forum for more background, plans, details, flyers and info on how to Write Now!:

Mar 1:  R.I.P. David Wolter

Charlotte Varley - David's wife:

(text & photos by Charlotte)

David Wolter or 'South African Dave'

(as he was known on Lamma Island.)

There are many words that have been used to describe David over the last few days; kind, caring, friendly, generous, lovable, chatty, with a crazy sense of humour. David was appreciated for his 'shouty exuberance' and was 'filled with the joy of being' and 'was more alive than anyone else I knew'. He was all of those things. David had time for everyone. He had an enthusiasm and energy for life that was infectious. His smile really did light up the room, his humour made us all laugh and at times cry!

David lived on Lamma Island for 18 years and was very much part of the Lamma community. Involved with the running of Suncastle Kindergarten on the island, he also helped set up the Children's Saturday Cricket Club and was a regular helper at Santa on the Beach. David was famously chief organiser the year Santa on the Beach was close to being shut down by our rather over- enthusiastic police. Somewhere I have photos of Santa handing out gifts to the children of Lamma, in the background David is in serious negotiation with the police, waving his arms around, trying to establish a reasonably peaceful end to the police visit.

David loved his sport; rugby, cricket, hockey and football. He was a keen Middlesborough fan, unusual for someone from Johannesburg!

David loved to talk, meet new friends, travel, read, kayak, cycle, hike, spend time on the beach and just hang out in the garden at the barbecue surrounded by his many friends. David loved to cook and entertain, our home was always full of friends and laughter.

However, more than anything else David loved his two boys, Isaac and Tom.

David's family and many friends in Hong Kong, UK and South Africa will miss him so much.

Please join us for a celebration of David's life:

Sunday 4 March from 2pm at our home.

Monday, 5 March, at 1pm, St John's Cathedral, Central.

Thank you to our many friends on Lamma, in Hong Kong, to the French International School community and my

Charlotte, Isaac, Tom and family in South Africa and UK.

P.S. Share your condolences, memories and photos:  R.I.P. David Wolter
