Call to patrol freedom camp sites

Marlborough New Zealand Motor Caravan Association members Lawrence and Barbara Gledhill with their greatgranddaughter Delia Conner, 4, at the clubs Christmas party.

Freedom camping is a part of Kiwi life that is unlikely to stop but needs to be properly regulated and policed, says the president of a campervan group.

Marlborough New Zealand Motor Caravan Association president Kevin Addley said he had nothing against freedom camping so long as those using the allocated sites were sticking to the rules.

He said one of the benefits of being in the association was that all members had access to "park over" properties.

"We have an index of these properties around the country where you can camp at very reasonable prices. Being self contained is very important and is a requirement of being a member of the association," he said.

Freedom camping has been an ongoing issue in Marlborough, with campsite and holiday park owners upset after the Marlborough District Council last year opened a car park at Collins Memorial/Koromiko Reserve near Picton to freedom campers.

Last week, council announced that four further sites - A&P Park, the railway station, and the Wynen St car park in Blenheim and the High St car park in Picton - would be opened to freedom campers. The sites would operate on a trial-only basis during summer and would include strict conditions, including self-contained vehicles only, parking between 6pm and 9am, one night only and no hanging clothes.

Addley said he wasn't against the new sites, although he didn't think the site in Picton was a good idea because of its location.

"These places need to be properly policed by council."

Council freedom may kill campsite

A Picton holiday park run on Marlborough District Council-owned land could shut if the council permanently open up a freedom camping spot in the town, its owner warns.

Alexanders Holiday Park owner Anthony Booker said a council summer trial to open the town's High St car park to freedom campers would "run him out of town".

Alexanders has been a holiday park for 70 years and Booker started leasing the land from council eight years ago.

Council were willing to risk his fees and rates to open up a competing freedom camp, he said.

"Thanks for putting me out of business council," Booker said.

"We lease the land from council, now they are providing free places for people to park.

"Why not buy the park off me and use it as a freedom camping area. It would be easier and the facilities would be there for them.

"I am livid. There is no incentive to be here.

"If council want to destroy camping grounds they are going about it the right way."

Council assets and services manager Rosie Bartlett said to her knowledge it was not raised before that Alexanders could be a possible freedom camping site.

He may have unravelled DNA, but James Watson deserves to be shunned

Posted on by

James Watson said that while people may like to think that all races are born with equal intelligence, those who have to deal with black employees find this not true. Photograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty Images

The great scientist James Watson is to auction his Nobel prize medal. He told the Financial Times this week that following accusations of racism in 2007, no one really wants to admit I exist, and as a result his income had plummeted and he has become an unperson.

This sounds awful: an 86-year-old hero ostracised for his views, shooed from public life by the people who walk in his scientific shadow.

But its not awful. Watson has said that he is not a racist in a conventional way. But he told the Sunday Times in 2007 that while people may like to think that all races are born with equal intelligence, those who have to deal with black employees find this not true. Call me old-fashioned, but that sounds like bog-standard, run-of-the-mill racism to me.

And this current whinge bemoans a new poverty born of his pariah status. Apart from my academic income, he says, Watson is condemned to a miserly wage that prevents him from buying a David Hockney painting.

His comments reveal a pernicious character entirely unrelated to his scientific greatness, but that is longstanding and not new. Watson is rightly venerated for being half of the pair, along with Francis Crick, who discovered the structure of DNA, and for leading the Human Genome Project. The story of the unveiling of the double helix is messy and complex, just like all biology. It has been pored over and studied and embellished and mythologised. But simply, the race was won by Crick and Watson, and in April 1953 they revealed to the world the iconic double helix. The key evidence, however, Photo 51, was produced by Rosalind Franklin and Ray Gosling, at Kings College London. Franklins skill at the technique known as X-ray crystallography was profound, and was indubitably essential to the discovery. Crick and Watson acquired the photo without her knowledge.

With their unique insight and vision, Crick and Watson deserve their Nobel gongs. Contrary to some narratives, Franklin was not overlooked in this accolade. The rules are quite clear: Nobels are not awarded posthumously. Franklin had died from cancer aged just 37, in 1958, four years before the Nobel committee recognised what is undoubtedly one of the most significant scientific advances of the 20th or any century.

With Nobels, we put people on pedestals and gift them platforms to say whatever they like. Here, they represent science, but contrary to stereotype, there isnt a typical scientist. Were just people.

Some Nobel laureates say stupid ignorant things. Most say little beyond their expertise, and some, such as the president of the Royal Society, Paul Nurse, are great leaders and campaigners for science and society.

The first account of the story of DNA was by Watson himself, and reveals his character. Honest Jim is what he wanted to call the book that was published as The Double Helix in 1968. It is a classic of nonfiction writing, and deservedly so. It is brilliant and racy and gossipy, and full of questionable truths.

Swiss widely reject eco-linked immigration-cap: initial results

Posted on by

Geneva (AFP) - The Swiss on Sunday flatly rejected a call for dramatic immigration cuts in the name of saving the environment, along with bids to scrap tax breaks for rich foreigners and hike the country's gold reserves.

Results from a majority of the country's 26 cantons showed voters spurning the so-called Ecopop initiative, which called for slashing immigration to reduce urban pressure on the Alpine nation's idyllic landscape.

Initial results nationwide showed 73 percent of voters said 'no' to Ecopop -- far above the 56 percent seen in the latest opinion poll.

According to initial results, 61.6 percent had also rejected the call to ditch tax breaks for wealthy foreign residents, while and 76,8 percent turned down the bid to force the country's central bank to boost its gold reserves to at least 20 percent of its holdings.

While the final results were not yet in, the fact that a majority of cantons had clearly dismissed the three initiatives meant they were doomed.

Most voters in Switzerland cast their ballots by mail in advance, so counting votes can often be done quickly after polls close at noon (1100 GMT) on frequent voting days in the country renowned for its direct democratic system.

Although opinion polls had hinted the Swiss would vote 'no' across the board Sunday, supporters of the Ecopop initiative had voiced hope silent support from the masses would lead to a surprise win.

That happened less than a year ago, when voters in February caught many off guard by voting to impose quotas for immigration from European Union, throwing non-member Switzerland's relations with the bloc into turmoil.

But voters clearly were not swayed by the Ecopop argument that immigrants are swelling the country's population and thus threatening its environment.

Tito Ortiz: 'Cyborg' Can't Make 135, Ronda Rousey Fight Should Take Place at 145

Posted on by

Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images

UFC Hall of Famer/Bellator light heavyweight Tito Ortiz says his friend and former client Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino cannot possibly make the bantamweight limit of 135 pounds, so a superfight with UFC champ Ronda Rousey should take place at a catchweight or 145 pounds.

Speaking on Sunday's edition of Submission Radio, the self-proclaimed "People's Champion" said that the face of women's MMA wasn't being realistic about squaring off with Justino at bantamweight:

Im still very close friends with Cris. She was at my last fight, and I'd seen her after her last fight, and trying to get her down to 135 is almost impossible. ... And if Ronda made it catchweight, I know Ronda doesnt want to do it because she doesnt want to lose. I seeI mean this is strictly my opinionI just think thats the only way that fight is ever going to happen, is if its at a catch weight. Because Cris is not gonna make 135. Shes never made 135. Shes always made 145 and thats been her weight her whole career. ... I mean she wanted to fight Gina Carano at 145 so whats the difference of fighting Cris Cyborg at 145?

Justino, a career featherweight, is the reigning 145-pound champ for Invicta FC who scored back-to-back TKO's with the promotion in 2013.

The Brazilian slugger was expected to make her bantamweight debut Fridayat Invicta FC 5, but she withdrew from the matchup last month due to an ankle injury, per Sherdog.

Rousey and Justino have engaged in a very public feud for the past couple of years, with Rousey insisting that Justino could make 135 pounds if she stopped using performance-enhancing drugs.

Meanwhile, Justino has fired back that Rousey talks a big game, but she is afraid to step up to the plate when it counts, per Kirik Jenness of MixedMartialArts.com.

Ortiz was Justino's co-manager when she cut ties with Zuffa LLC, the parent company of the UFC, in February 2013 when the two sides could not agree to a contract that included a showdown with Rousey at bantamweight.

Rousey, 10-0, next defends her UFC championship gold against top bantamweight contender Cat Zingano at UFC 184 on February 28.
