■ GREENPEACE PROTEST

Local charged under new law

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Massive wake-up call P24

P3

Three Greenpeace activists, including one from Ashburton, are among the first people ever to be charged under a new amendment for protesting at sea.

Head of Greenpeace New Zealand, Russel Norman, along with Ashburton kitemaker Gavin Mulvay and Sara Howell from Wales, have been charged under the Crown Minerals Act. The charges follow the trio jumping into the ocean 50 nautical miles off the Wairarapa coast and swimming in front of the oil exploration vessel the Amazon

Warrior on Monday. The ship had to divert its course as a result.

“I think the government is doing the wrong thing by using the full force of the law to protect the oil industry, when really what we need to do is transition away from oil if we are going to have a stable climate,” Norman told the Guardian yesterday.

Greenpeace is concerned about the climate change repercussions of using oil, and also the effects of seismic blasting from the ship being harmful to marine mammals.

Norman and fellow protesters were

on the Taitu, a 15-metre boat which Greenpeace crowdfunded almost $100,000 in seven days to buy.

Yesterday it was docked at Napier.

Greenpeace said the trio were the first people ever to be charged under the Anadarko Amendment which was created specifically to stifle protest at sea.

The charges were laid by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

The oil exploration was being carried out for Arctic driller Statoil and Chevron, a US oil company.

Rural mayors meet in pancake cook-off

Proposed Methven bus stop overturned

By Linda Clarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Waimate mayor Craig Rowley proved he was a culinary cut above fellow rural mayors Donna Favel, Graham Smith and Winton Dalley yesterday in a cooking challenge organised by Rural Women.

The four mayors were given basic ingredients and asked to produce three pancakes for judges Kevin Geddes and Jo Taylor at the East Street chequerboard, with Rowley calling on his experience as a father-of-seven to win the day.

As compere Phill Hooper pointed out, Rowley wasted no time churning out more than three pancakes, had time to eat one himself and garnish them with cooked bacon and tomatoes, as well as blueberries, bananas and maple syrup.

The Waimate mayor said the challenge, part of Rural Women’s week of activities in Canterbury, had been fun.

Hurunui mayor Winton Dalley called his sweet pancake dish Hurunui 7.8 in acknowledgement of the quake that shook his

A bus stop will no longer be installed outside the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre.

Methven Community Board members decided at their sixweekly meeting on Monday to ask the Ashburton District Council to overturn a decision based on a previous board recommendation for a bus stop to be established.

Community relations manager Vincie Billante told board members they could either seek overturning of the decision, or the council could publicly consult on the issue, following opposition to the bus stop from two of the centre’s tenants.

Board members agreed the decision should be overturned.

The bus stop was considered by the board following the council saying no to a bus bay outside the centre last year.

Goodhew raises youth concerns

By Michelle Nelson

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew is in discussions with Police Minister Paula Bennett and Justice Minister Amy Adams to raise concerns about escalating youth crime in Ashburton.

The depth of the problem was raised in a letter sent to Goodhew by Dean Talbot, of Talbot Security, on Friday.

The contents of the letter, which was published in full in Saturday’s Guardian, laid out the extent of youth offending in the district. It came as a shock to Goodhew.

“I was aware of some of these issues before I received the letter but it contained a lot more details than I was aware of,” she said.

“I am also getting feedback from the community which high-

lights just how widespread the concern and frustration is, and even fear of what these young people are up to.”

Goodhew spoke to Bennett and Adams on Monday and followed up yesterday, but is unable to talk about the nature of those discussions at this point.

In the meantime, she urged people to continue to support the police.

some thing to like about this, is the real feeling that we can’t accept this is okay and we have to continue to look for ways to address it.

“It’s just unacceptable and I’m working with colleagues to try to find a path forward which will be useful and helpful.”

However, Goodhew warned the problem would not be solved overnight.

“The police will have to continue to do their job to the best their ability – they have tools at their disposal and they need to continue to use those,” she said.

Goodhew also respects the work Talbot Security and Safer Ashburton are doing to work alongside police.

“I personally think there is enough concern, but what I’m liking – and it’s hard to find

More rain likely for Mid Canterbury Mid Canterbury is in for more rainfall due to an approaching low, and then could get some more on Friday as well, due to Cyclone Cook.

MetService meteorologist Claire Flynn said a low was moving towards New Zealand from the Tasman Sea, causing easterly winds over Canterbury and Otago. Today 10 to 20 millimetres of rain could be received, with occasional rain tomorrow.

On Friday Cyclone Cook would come into the picture, however it would probably

just move down to the east of Canterbury, therefore rainfall would be offshore.

However, if it moved further to the west, rainfall could be on land.

“It’s a bit of wait and see one because that track is a little bit uncertain,” Flynn said.

Mid Canterbury has already received more than its average rainfall for April.

Ashburton had received 65.4 millimetres to Monday, compared to the average rainfall for the whole month of about 61 millimetres.

Gluyas’ demolition starts

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Gluyas Motor Group managing director Peter Gluyas had the honour of taking the first swing of the digger in the demolition of what was the Gluyas Motor Group building on Kermode Street on Monday night.

Familiar with diggers, having used his own to knock out the windows, he had the opportunity to get behind the controls of the “bigger, bigger digger”.

“It was marvellous fun and I really enjoyed it,” he said.

“I’m familiar with diggers, but to get the chance on that was special.”

Work will now begin on clear-

ing the site, which Gluyas expects will take a few a days. From there, the area will be hot-mixed and prepared to be used as a show area in the new Ford and Nissan dealership.

“It will be huge to have the project finished as it has been a big 12 months designing it and making it all happen,” he said.

“In some ways it was sad to see it go, but having lived and worked in it for the last 12 months, in the state it was in, I was quite pleased to see it go.

“It served us well for 70 odd years, but it is time to move onwards and upwards. The building opened in 1954 and was added to and altered over the years.

Bambino promotes Funeral Directors of New Zealand awareness week

By Megan Gnad

megan.g@theguardian.co.nz

A bright blue Fiat Bambino 500 drew the gaze of onlookers yesterday as it sat parked outside Paterson’s Funeral Services.

Manager Barry Hayman sourced the 1970 classic from Christchurch as it matched advertising material that had been released for the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ) awareness week.

This year’s theme is Take the Time to Talk which encourages people to spend time sharing their life stories and talking

about final farewells.

A presentation on pre-planning and prepaying for funerals was held at Paterson’s reception lounge, yesterday afternoon.

Hayman said all members of the FDANZ are encouraged to do something during the week and organisers in Wellington were “very impressed” when he sent a picture of the blue Bambino.

He said talking about plans makes it easier for the people left behind when someone passes away. “(It provides) a clear direction about what people want, and

they can express who they want there, where they want it and what they want as part of the service,” he said.

“Some people are left not knowing whether to bury or cremate, let alone everything else that goes with it.”

Hayman has been in the industry for 33 years and noticed many changes in that time, particularly a focus being placed on pre-planning and prepaying for funerals.

“Some people just want to be prepared so to have a week like this is really important,” he said.

■ MOUNTAIN THUNDER

Trophy to honour enthusiast

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven’s town centre streets will vibrate to the roaring sound of motorbikes this Easter Saturday.

The Dubliner Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Street Race is in its eighth year, and a special award is being introduced in memory of the classic motorcycle rider who first conceived of holding the event in the town.

The Bryan O’Hara Memorial Trophy will be presented to the winner of the Formula Methven race on the day.

Spokesperson Sue van den Heuvel said as a member of both Classic Action Motorcycle Sport in Christchurch and the Methven Lions Club, O’Hara had conceived of the two organisations coming together to stage the landmark street event in Methven.

The Methven grandfather successfully sold the idea to fellow members of both clubs, which come together each year to stage the street race.

The annual Mountain Thun-

der event attracts thousands to Methven each Easter, with spectators usually numbering over 4000.

O’Hara, who passed away last year, was a keen classic motorcycle rider and among the event’s keenest racers.

And his participation did not stop there, he would be involved with the many volunteers behind the scenes as well.

“Bryan was such a doer, he was always there on the Friday afternoon, even though he was in his 80s,” van den Heuvel recalled.

“He was right in there, he just loved being involved with the Lions and helping the community, his passion for motorcycles just brought all that together really,” she said.

The Dubliner Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Street Race will kick off in the town centre with practice from 9.30am, and racing getting under way at 10.30am through to 4pm.

The entry fee is $20, with 16 and under free.

Methven Lions Club members are proud to introduce a new trophy at the Dubliner Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Street Race this year in honour of late member and motorcycle racer Bryan O’Hara. Pictured are (from left) Thames Proudman, Charles Whitehead, Peter Garde, president Richard Watson holding the trophy, Ian Ridge, Dave Grant, David Nesbit, Bruce Sim, Bruce Holmes, Wayne Hayward and Peter Campbell.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

German students get a taste of NZ

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A group of German school students got a taste of New Zealand life last week at Ashburton College.

Nineteen students and two teachers from the Pascal Gymnasium in Grevenbroich spent a week in Ashburton and the surrounding areas.

Teacher Dirk van der Smissen said it was the third time a group from the school had visited the college. As part of the college’s tour of Germany, they have also visited Grevenbroich three times.

“We believe the school part of the visit is important for the students to experience what a week as a New Zealand student is like,” he said.

“It is interesting to see all the little differences that the students notice, such as the size of the lunchboxes.”

The students spent one week staying with host families, before beginning a week-long bus-trip to Auckland on Sunday.

Van der Smissen said the trip provided a good mix of experiences for the students.

Students of Ashburton College and the Pascal Gymnasium shared a classroom last week as part of the German school’s tour in New Zealand.

Serious Fraud Office asked to investigate two Cera employees A report released yesterday into employees of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Commission, who set up a business on the side to make cash while employed by the public sector, has warned the sector not to re-employ them.

CERA staffers Gerard Gallagher and Simon Nikoloff set up a private company PIML, through which investors would pay them a fee on private property deals.

A third CERA staffer, Murray Cleverley, was a shareholder in that same company – but the report has found no evidence that he was involved in its operations.

The State Services Commission was asked to investigate, after that company was involved in the private sale of the damaged Youth Hostel building in Manchester Street in Christchurch in late 2014.

State Services Commissioner Peter Hughes has found the actions of Gallagher and Nikoloff to be a serious conflict of interest, and has referred the results of his investigation to the Serious Fraud Office to see whether any of the activity was of a “potentially criminal nature”.

But Gallagher and Nikoloff have released a joint statement claiming the report has cleared them of any wrongdoing.

Former solicitor-general and Crown prosecutor Michael Heron QC was appointed to lead the investigation into any potential conflicts of interests.

Gallagher and Nikoloff were both working with the Crown Company Otakaro Ltd when CERA was disestablished, but were stood down from their roles when the investigation began.

Cleverley stepped aside from his duties as South Canterbury and Canterbury District Health Board chair while the investigation was under way. He was not found to have breached any standards, but had made a “significant error of judgement” in not declaring a conflict of interest.

In his report, Heron found Nikoloff and Gallagher were using a private company, Project and Investment Ltd (PIML) to try make a business deal for personal gain.

The deal related to the same property and parties they were dealing with in their roles as CERA employees, and they did not disclose their personal interest to either the parties or their employer.

Heron said the parties involved thought they were dealing with CERA employees, but were actually dealing with the two

men in their roles with their private business.

“I consider their actions to be serious misconduct that is unacceptable in the New Zealand Public Service,” Hughes said.

“If these two individuals were still employed by CERA I believe there would be strong grounds for terminating their employment.

“I am unable to direct State sector employees when making employment decisions, however based on what I have seen in Mr Heron’s report, if it were up to me I would not employ these individuals.”

An investigation by the chief executive of Otakaro found the two men had behaved in a similar way while employed there.

Heron’s report showed Cleverley was a shareholder in PIML, but there was no evidence he was involved in the company’s operations.

He had not declared his shareholding in the company to CERA because he believed it was not operating.

“In my view, his failure to do so was a significant error of judgment,” Hughes said.

The report also looked at Cleverley’s position as director of Silverfin Capital Ltd, a company which leased property to the Canterbury DHB. The ministry of health and SSC earlier recommended he step down from Silverfin, but he did not accept that.

Hughes said it would have been “prudent” for Cleverley to step down from that role to avoid any issues of perception of conflict of interest.

Clevereley yesterday resigned from both health boards to protect their reputations.

“It takes some integrity and courage to do what he’s done and I absolutely respect him for it,” Hughes said.

Gallagher and Nikoloff said the report found any allegations of criminality was unfounded, but Heron said their statement was untrue. He said it was simply not his role to investigate any potential criminal activity, but the matter has been picked up by the SFO and will be looked at by them.

Gallagher and Nikoloff’s statement also said the report found them to be people of integrity, but this was also untrue.

Cancer seminar Megan Gnad

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

A

shburton is being offered an amazing opportunity next month to take part in a seminar that discusses cuttingedge cancer research.

The dreaded ‘C word’ touches the lives of far too many.

Everyone knows someone affected and therefore has a vested interested in finding suitable cures with the hope of saving lives and, frankly, wiping it off the face of the earth.

This means they’re expecting a lot of interest in the May 4 seminar, What’s New in Cancer Research? Genes & Lifestyle information evening, organised by the Cancer Society and C4 – the Canterbury Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

Held at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, it forms part of a trial that, if successful, could hit the regions across Canterbury to inform and provide hope.

Subjects include; Decoding our genes to prevent cancer? (presented by Dr Logan Walker), The New Zealand Familial Breast Cancer Study (scientist Vanessa Lattimore), Immunotherapy: rescuing immune cells to treat cancer (Dr Margaret Currie), How do fat cells stimulate breast cancer? (Dr Elisabeth Phillips), Does body weight affect chemotherapy? (PhD student Rebekah Crake), Vitamin C: snake oil or a sensible addition to cancer therapy? (associate professor Gabi Dachs) and The latest isn’t always the greatest…

Why we need randomised trials in medicine (Dr David Gibbs).

According to The Ministry of Health, cancer is the country’s single biggest cause of death, and more people are developing it because the population is growing and ageing.

A study, taken a few years back, showed New Zealanders fear cancer more than any other disease or debilitating illness.

The Southern Cross Health Society survey, of nearly 1500 adults with health insurance, found cancer was feared ahead of brain injuries, stroke, heart attacks and blindness, due to its random and uncompromising nature.

However, the good news is that in New Zealand, about one person in every three who gets cancer will be cured, providing us with a much-needed optimistic outlook.

The seminars will offer a sneak-peek into the laboratories, doctors surgeries and medical facilities at the forefront of groundbreaking research.

As we take the time to educate ourselves on the good work taking place, it also allows us a moment to imagine – and hope for – a cancer-free future.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

G

uardian readers have been taking to Facebook to comment on how they think the community can best respond to a group of youth offenders currently causing strife in Ashbur-

ton.

Many people have come out in support of Dean Talbot, of Talbot Security, who has written to Parliament asking for a review of Youth Court laws.

Meanwhile, police and security officers had another hectic weekend dealing with youth offending.

Our poll results as of yesterday afternoon indicate more than 80 per cent of respondents feel unsafe on Ashburton streets right now.

To add your thoughts visit Ashburton Guardian Facebook page and leave a comment or vote on our poll at www.guardianonline.

ROLLING POLL This week’s question Q: Escalating youth crime is concerning Ashburton residents.

Do you feel safe in our community?

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Yes 16.13%

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Vanessa The attitudes and behaviours of some of the youth in ashburton is absolutely disgusting!! If they go around doing whatever they like to who ever they like then they should suffer the consequences tough real punishment is needed send them to LSV Army boot camp in burnham for a couple of months I say !! Good on you talbot security !!

Tania I’d say the biggest concerns are youth crime and vandalism. I also believe that the situation may be improved if we have more places for young ones to go for entertainment - bowling, something like Timezone etc. Maybe some free hobby courses (photography, modern dance classes). we have to offer them an alternative to staying in the streets.

Roberta Risk I would love to see more opportunities for children to be immersed in nature. Putting climate issues aside, I believe if ‘nature immersion’ was priority for young people, they would grow up more connected and empathetic. Also I would love to see the Maori language and culture have alot more prominence than it currently does.

Sally time to hold parents to account for the crimes these kids do. Maybe then they will make sure where the kids are and who they are with

China – the new market for our districts product?

I

n February, I was fortunate to attend a South Island business forum that sat alongside Christchurch’s annual Lantern Festival.

More than 200 people went to the forum to listen and share information on growing their business connections with China. Most of the delegates either did business in Asia or were linked to it.

As your mayor, I thought it was incredibly valuable to learn how our district could potentially grow its economic, education and tourism links with this part of the world.

As Tom Hooper, chief executive of the Canterbury Development Corporation, wrote afterwards – the forum demonstrated the wide range of export sectors that are important in Canterbury.

He said that while the popular perception of local trade with China centres around milk powder, attendees at the event included educators, food producers, craft beer manufacturers, tourism operators and health product sellers.

One of the most interesting speakers at the event was John O’Loghlen, a Kiwi who is now business development director for Alibaba in Australasia.

For retired people in Ashburton, there are two men’s and three ladies’ friendship clubs (previously Probus).

There is a small group of people that would like to establish a combined Men’s and Ladies’ Probus Club.

There is a number of combined clubs throughout New Zealand that are very successful.

Probus is an association of retired and semi-retired people who join together in clubs.

The basic purpose of which is to provide regular opportunities for them to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.

All clubs are sponsored by Rotary Clubs, but on formation, are autonomous.

I was lucky enough to talk to John during the forum and he told me about Alibaba’s interest in Australia and New Zealand, for the goods and services we can provide.

Alibaba can help even small businesses and brands reach the Chinese consumer. Since then I’ve had further discussions with Alibaba Group and they are looking at Ashburton to be their first NZ rural showcase.

As a result, I am seeking expressions of interest, for 30 Ashburton District businesses to pitch their products to up to 5,000 Chinese businesses associated with Alibaba. A similar dragon’s den type of event has recently taken place in Auckland.

For further details, please contact my executive assistant – Stacey McAllister – email Stacey.McAllister@adc.govt.nz or phone 03-307-7700 before the end of April.

Dysfunctional society I am sad for our beautiful town of Ashburton as I read about some young people terrorising the place and putting fear into the people.

There must be a high degree of frustration among Talbot Security Group and the Police when the youth they have apprehended are more or less let off the hook by the Youth Court system. (The

Guardian 08 April).

And what happens next they go straight back to offending because there were no consequences and they know it!

How has society become so dysfunctional? We have many social agencies in our town who do a great work but are really like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

They are all overworked and hugely underfunded.

I don’t have all the answers, but a few thoughts about this: 1. Are we, as parents, taking responsibility for our young ones? Do we know where they are and who they are with? Do we really care?

2. Are we modelling and teaching them to have respect for those who are in authority?

3. Are we providing a home that is safe, where they know

and are told they are loved?

4. Do we give quality time and listen to them?

5. Do we give guidance, set boundaries and discipline or give consequences for wrong behaviour?

This is the type of home I grew up in, for which I am very grateful. Just maybe it all begins at home in the family unit.

It’s not a weakness to ask for help, we all need it at times, it’s never too late to learn new strategies.

Let’s step up, do a parenting course, seek help, break the cycle of dysfunction and help our youth to get on a better path.

Pay a visit to the Mid Canterbury Boxing Academy and see the young ones who are being mentored and empowered to better citizens. It’s a great initiative!

■ UNITED STATES

Three dead in shooting Three people, including a teacher and an 8-year-old boy, died yesterday in an apparent murder-suicide at an elementary school in San Bernardino, California, police said, dealing another shock to a community still reeling from a terrorist attack two years ago that claimed the lives of 14 people.

San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said that Karen Elaine Smith, 53, a teacher, was killed inside a classroom at North Park Elementary School by her estranged husband, Cedric Anderson, 53.

Anderson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The chief said Jonathan Martinez, 8, was airlifted to a local hospital, where he died.

Burguan said a 9-year-old child, whose name has not been released, remains in stable condition at a local hospital.

“I am told that both the students were behind the teacher when the suspect shot his wife,” Burguan said. “We have no reason to believe that the students were targeted, not that it makes it any better.”

A spokesperson for the San Bernardino City Unified School District said the shooting occurred in a special education classroom, which, at the time, was filled with first- through third-grade students. Officials said the school, which enrolls about 530 children, will be closed for two days.

“The suspect had come to the classroom to visit the adult female,” he said. “We think the two children were unfortunate recipients of injuries.”

Police officers investigate outside North Park Elementary School after a fatal shooting.

PHOTO AP US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos called the shooting a “horrible act” and extended prayers to the victims and their families.

The shooting comes 16 months after a terrorist attack left 14 people dead and 22 others wounded, when Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, entered a venue hosting a Christmas party for county public health workers and opened fire.

The two were killed hours later in a

shootout with San Bernardino police.

A school district spokeswoman said that the city’s schools increased security measures after the 2015 terrorist attack.

“All our schools, especially post December 2, have tightened up security procedures,” said Maria Garcia, the school district spokeswoman. “Once the school bell rings, the only entry point into a campus is the main school office, where visitors have to sign in and receive a visitor’s pass.”

Outrage at treatment of airline passenger Video of police officers dragging a passenger from an overbooked United Airlines flight is sparking uproar on social media.

As the flight waited to depart from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, officers could be seen grabbing the screaming man from a window seat, pulling him across the armrest and dragging him down the aisle by his arms. The airline was trying to make room for four of its employees on the flight to Louisville, Kentucky.

Passenger Audra Bridges posted the video on Facebook. Her husband, Tyler Bridges, said United offered $US400 ($NZ575) and then $US800 vouchers and a hotel stay for volunteers to give up their seats. When

no one volunteered, a United manager came on the plane and announced that passengers would be chosen at random.

When airline employees named four customers who had to leave the plane, three of them did so. The fourth person refused to move, and police were called, United spokesman Charlie Hobart said.

The passenger told the manager that he was a doctor who needed to see patients in the morning, Bridges said.

A few minutes later, the man who was removed from the plane returned, looking dazed and saying he had to get home, Bridges said. Officers followed him to the back of the plane. Another man travelling

with high school students stood up at that point and said they were getting off the plane, Bridges said. About half of the passengers followed before United told everyone to get off, he said.

The man who was originally dragged down the aisle was removed from the plane again, and United employees made an announcement saying they had to “tidy up” the aircraft, Bridges said.

After a three-hour delay the flight took off without the man aboard, Bridges said.

Airlines are allowed to sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane, and they routinely overbook flights because some people do not show up.

■■AUCKLAND HOUSING

Housing crisis set to drag on

■■KIM DOTCOM

Internet mogul Kim Dotcom has lodged an appeal with the highest court in the United States in a bid to get millions of dollars in seized assets back.

In New Zealand, the Germanborn tech entrepreneur is in the process of appealing a decision clearing his extradition to the US on charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering over his role at fire-sharing website Megaupload.

But in the US, lawyers for Dotcom, his ex-wife Mona and several other Megaupload staff have been trying to get back $US75 million ($NZ107m) of assets seized

by US authorities after his arrest during a police raid in Auckland in early 2012.

After last year losing an appeal at the US’s 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, Dotcom says his lawyers

Kim Dotcom have now petitioned the US Supreme Court to consider the case.

The application argues Dotcom and his co-accused have been unfairly labelled “fugitives” by

the US Department of Justice for attempting to fight their extraditions, allowing the government to seize their assets among other issues.

The Supreme Court has yet to decide whether to accept the case.

Alongside co-accused Mathias Ortmann, Bran van der Kolk and Finn Botato, Dotcom is accused of defrauding copyright holders and paying users to upload illegal files.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has led the investigation and claim Megaupload is a criminal conspiracy that earned the men $175m.

In February, High Court Justice Murray Gilbert ruled the men could not be extradited from New Zealand on copyright charges, but upheld an earlier ruling that they were still eligible for extradition on other charges.

■■AIR NEW ZEALAND

Flights often overbooked New Zealand airlines overbook some flights but more conservatively than in the United States.

To maximise revenue, airlines do overbook flights, assuming not all passengers will turn up.

A passenger on a United Airlines flight was this week dragged from the plane in the US. Air New Zealand says on its website specialist forecasting meant that denied boarding due to overbooking rarely happened.

“If it does, we are committed to providing a fair and consistent approach to how we compensate and determine boarding priority,” the airline says.

“In all overbooking situations we will ask for volunteers before denying travel involuntarily to any customer. Where your offer of volunteering to travel on an al-

ternative flight is accepted by Air New Zealand, you will be compensated.”

A Jetstar spokesman said airlines in this part of the world had a much more conservative approach to overbooking than airlines in the US. “In the rare event a passenger is unable to be checked in for a Jetstar flight due to overbooking this would be managed prior to boarding.

“We will offer a seat on the next available flight and consider a range of other options, including compensation, in recognition of the inconvenience,” he said.

The airline’s conditions of carriage state: “If you are denied boarding due to overbooking of a scheduled flight for which you have a book-

ing, we will try to get you to your destination within a reasonable time of your original scheduled arrival time. If we do not, we will provide compensation and any care required by any law which may apply or in accordance with our policy if there is no applicable law.”

Commercial director at the House of Travel, Brent Thomas, said he had been on planes in the US where there were calls for volunteers to get off flights, but had not experienced it in this country.

He said the United Airlines case was extreme.

He said airlines also had to take into account the weight and balance of freight and this also led to some passengers being bumped at times.

in a period of transition,” he said.

After rising strongly following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, home-building levels had been pulling back, and there was evidence of downward pressure on rents and house prices.

“We expect to see a further moderation in construction activity over the coming years,” Ranch-

The capital gains and high returns also helped to explain why strong house price increases had not been limited to Auckland, with prices also rising rapidly in areas that did not have the same degree of housing market tightness.

He noted that rising mortgage rates in recent months, combined with a tightening in lending restrictions and pressure on housing affordability, had “sapped some of the momentum” from the housing market.

Concerns about housing supply and low affordability could prompt a reduction in the number of people moving into Auckland, or encourage a shift to other regions, Ranchhod said.

Ranchhod also singled out Wellington and Christchurch, highlighting a shortfall of rental properties in the capital, albeit with building activity rising, while there has been a moderation in Canterbury building which would signal some drag on the economy in general.

“Canterbury’s housing market is

hod said. While that signalled some drag ahead on the Canterbury economy, firmer activity in other parts of the economy was providing some offset and at present business confidence in the region was “very positive”, he said.

Ranchhod said “the missing piece of the puzzle” was low interest rates which had made the capital gains on housing assets, and relatively high returns from home building, very attractive to many investors and developers.

“Affordability is a particular challenge for many first-home buyers, and those looking to upgrade, who find themselves competing to purchase homes against developers who have a different set of financial constraints and incentives,” he said.

Auckland’s acute housing crisis appears set to drag on for at least a decade, with projections 100,000 homes are required to cope with an extra 290,000 people.

Auckland’s population growth is projected to rise 17 per cent over the next decade, against a 7 per cent gain for the rest of the country, according to Westpac’s senior economist, Satish Ranchhod, in his monthly housing property analysis.

With population growth expected to remain strong for some time, Ranchhod said it would take an extended period – about a decade – of strong building to address the region’s housing needs.

“And it’s likely that tightness in the Auckland housing market will get worse before it gets better.”

■ GOLF

In brief

Controversy surrounds win Sergio Garcia’s Masters victory wasn’t without controversy.

The Spaniard won his first major title at the 74th attempt at Augusta on Monday, breaking the second longest major drought in golf history. But it so easily could have been taken away from him.

Garcia hit a wayward tee shot into the bushes on the par-five 13th on the final day and was forced to take a drop. But before he lined up for his second stroke (his third on the scorecard with the penalty) he tried to move some pine needles around his ball.

A close-up shot of his ball suggests something caused it to move just a tiny bit, which according to golf’s rules, would incur a one-shot penalty. However, the incident went largely unnoticed until a viewer reportedly called officials, alerting them to the matter.

Former professional golfer Brett Ogle spoke about the dramatic moment.

Sergio Garcia, of Spain, holds his trophy at the green jacket ceremony after the Masters golf tournament Sunday, in Augusta.

“There was a bit of controversy around this. You can go back to the 13th where he (Garcia) drove it left into the bush and took an unplayable lie,” Ogle said on the Big Sports Breakfast.

“Once again a camera got a close-up of when he took the drop and he was moving a few pine needles and the ball moved

just ever so slightly. If you have a look at it you can see the ball move just a little bit. “(There were) phone calls into the Augusta National people and they had a look at it and said the ball didn’t move. But if you take a look at it you can clearly see the ball move a tiny little bit so there’s a bit of controversy around it.”

Garcia was tied with Englishman Justin Rose at the time, who he went on to defeat on the first playoff hole after the pair finished equal at the end of the fourth round. Garcia made par on the extra hole and fortunately for the Spaniard, officials refused to intervene and he was spared the heartbreak of being robbed of a maiden major crown.

Judging by the crowd’s reaction on the 18th at Augusta, Garcia was a popular winner.

The 37-year-old has been around the PGA Tour for nearly two decades and before Monday was widely considered the best player never to win a major. The wait only made his eventual victory that much sweeter, and golf fans all over rejoiced in his breakthrough win.

But Ogle, whose professional career spanned more than 15 years, is no fan of Garcia, saying the performance he puts on for the cameras is a facade that hides his true character. - NZME

■ OPINION

Outside influences spark dangerous play T

he power of television and in particular the ability to replay something and then, in turn, share that moment with the world, is leaving the world of sport in a very precarious position.

Sports like league and rugby have been witness to it for a while. Decisions are overturned at a frequent rate after video replays, often shown on the big screen, force an official to revisit their decision and in some cases, overturn their original.

For the past few weeks it has been the world of golf which has faced the spotlight.

Female golfer, Lexi Thompson copped it first when she was penalised four shots during the middle of her final

Ashburton Guardian 15

Matt Markham MATT’S MUSINGS

round after a television viewer, watching the tournament in California, notified officials of a ball placement error made the day before.

To do that to a player, Thompson was in front at the time, is bordering on the ridiculous and opens up a whole new world of potential disasters both on and off the golf course.

The four shot penalty – two for incorrect placement of the

ball and two for signing an incorrect card – left Thompson one shot off the lead after previously being three in front.

She managed to rally to force a playoff, but unfortunately was beaten by Seo Yeon Ryu of South Korea.

Thompson was said to be outraged by the outcome and Kiwi superstar, Lydia Ko joined in with her disgust calling for a change to the rules when it comes to people calling in with such information.

That the incident had gone unmentioned for almost a day, shows just how dangerous this could be.

Are we currently trawling back through hours of footage from events gone by looking for similar errors?

You’d hope not.

Then, just to add some salt to the already gaping golf injury, Sergio Garcia has had to deal with something similar in the wake of his outstanding victory at the Masters on the weekend.

An eagle-eyed viewer took to social media in the aftermath of the event to share with the world that Garcia had shifted the ball while clearing pine needles from his wayward shot on the 13th hole at Augusta.

Thankfully officials have elected not to do anything about the complaint. And lucky for their sake too.

Taking a Masters win off one of the most popular golfers in the world could have created mayhem and only served to damage the image of golf.

Arsenal humiliated Arsenal produced another dreadful away performance in losing at relegation-threatened Crystal Palace 3-0 in the English Premier League yesterday, further damaging the team’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League. Palace exploited Arsenal’s weakness in defence, scoring in the 18th minute through Andros Townsend before midfielders Yohan Cabaye and Luka Milivojevic – from the penalty spot – added more goals in the second half. Arsenal, which has conceded three goals in each of its last four away games, stayed in sixth place – seven points off the top four.

Gavet to start Prop James Gavet has been named to start for the Warriors’ seventh-round NRL encounter with the Raiders at GIO Stadium in Canberra on Saturday (7.30pm kickoff NZT). That’s the only tweak to an otherwise unchanged starting XII from the team that beat the Eels 22-10 last Sunday. Gavet (28), who made 10 appearances in his first NRL campaign with the club last year, earned his call-up after impressive form for the club’s Intrust Super Premiership side in the first three weeks this season.

Steel coast past Magic The Southern Steel have underlined their status as the team to beat in the ANZ Premiership.

In a clash between the last two undefeated sides in the league, the Steel triumphed over the WaikatoBay of Plenty Magic, claiming a 72-59 victory in Invercargill on Monday. Their comfortable win doubled as a modicum of revenge from their shock defeat the last time the two teams met. - NZME

Rebels emotional With their Super Rugby future hanging in the balance, the Melbourne Rebels are torn between wanting to hear the right answer and just wanting to know one way or the other. Either the Rebels or the Western Force are faced with foreclosure at season’s end, and Melbourne assistant coach Morgan Turinui said there were plenty of emotions doing the rounds at AAMI Park.

In brief Leftie sparks change Saracino’s preference for lefthanded tracks has prompted a move to Mike Moroney’s Melbourne stable. The son of Per Incanto has been a multiple Group winner and Group One placed for Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman. He finished sixth in the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint at Randwick in his final appearance for the Cambridge trainers. “He has won three Group Two races this season, but he’s better on left-hand tracks,” Baker said.

PHOTO MATT MARKHAM 110417-MM-001

Matau Gem has field covered Matau Gem and Nathan Purdon have the field covered in their unqualified pace at the Ashburton Trotting Club workouts yesterday. The big daughter of Washington VC worked to the lead early in her heat and never looked back, grinding her way to the line to win impressively. Although racing in the colours of Cran Dalgety, the four-year-old mare is trained by Steven Hale.

Purdon is the son of champion horseman, Mark Purdon and has returned to New Zealand this season after a successful stint in Australia as both a driver and a trainer. His training efforts included a Group One victory with Ohoka Punter. Purdon is attached to the Dalgety stable at West Melton.

Regal Winks’ trainers have put the filly’s first defeat down to unsuitable track conditions. The three-year-old beat the older horses in both of her first two starts before she finished fourth at Trentham on Saturday. “The track was very, very sticky and she didn’t handle it at all,” said J.J. Rayner, who prepares the horse with her father Evan.

Wheeler chases 10th win Jumps maestro John Wheeler will be shooting for his 10th win in the Great Eastern Steeplechase at Oakbank on Easter Monday.

The New Plymouth trainer will be relying on Racquetor to take him into double figures. “He’ll run on the Saturday and then the Monday and he’s a pretty handy horse so I’d be expecting him to run pretty well,” Wheeler said.

Anzac Eve - A play written

by Dave Armstrong

My Name is Moana (Arts on Tour NZ)

Two young Kiwi guys meet two young Aussie girls... Anzac Eve is an exciting new play about a disparate group of ‘twentysomethings’ on their big OE, who happen upon each other the night before Dawn commemorations at Gallipoli.

We are incredibly honored to host renowned singer and Art Laureate, Moana Maniapoto (Moana and the Tribe) and her sister Trina.

An intimate and lively tribute to the ocean with captivating storytelling that will draw you in, encourage you to think, feel, laugh and sing along.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Labels help us get organised and make sense of our world. But labels never completely define anything, especially not a person. Today’s cosmic question: Are you over-identifying with a label?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The pulsing movement of life is like a rushing river today and you can’t help but go with the flow. If you don’t like where the flow is going, however, there will be shallow spots to get off the raft.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You don’t want the award because it’s an honour; you want it because doing what it takes to get there and then knowing that it’s where you deserve to be is a fulfilling consciousness to live inside.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Someone you want to emulate is coming into the picture, and this person may possibly mentor you. Be ready, on the lookout and doing your best to communicate where you are and where you want to go.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Sociability and joy are predicted for the day. People who make you happy are close at hand. You have all you need to do your work and be effective. Life is good.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): An issue is ready to be addressed and resolved so that you can move on. For this reason, you may feel a push at your back, perhaps jarring, but also what’s needed to get this going.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The high quality you bring to your work isn’t an accident. You make this happen with your intention for excellence and your commitment to finding the most intelligent direction.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll say no a good amount of times today. This is the only way to stay focused, protect what you have and keep on track with what you’re doing. Of course, “no” doesn’t necessarily mean “never”.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Others find it hard to notice what’s right before their eyes. You see it: the smallness of it, the depth, what it really means. Point out what you see. They might not get it today, but someday they will.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s something a little bizarre about this “normal” situation.

Indications are that the game may be rigged.

Don’t try to win. Don’t try to understand.

Just try your best.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You have a way about you that people like very much. They feel that you get them. They feel more awake around you, and yet they also feel they’ve fallen under your spell.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The “What if?” chain is likely to visit your thoughts today, and without a happy agenda. Combat it with its mortal enemy: “So what?” With this simple retort, you can deflect anxiety.

Sport ARU ‘weak, confused’ Alan Jones has lambasted Australian rugby bosses over the latest Super Rugby changes and called on the board to resign. The rugby icon and Sydney broadcasting supremo launched another withering attack on the Australian Rugby Union, portraying them as weak and confused and describing the situation as a shambles. Jones said the removal of one Australian team in the new Super Rugby format meant matters had “just got worse”. The ARU was running a closed shop, and had even held an AGM on Monday which some unions did not know about.

Ashburton College’s Elama Touli looks to run in his side’s pre-season loss to Timaru Boys’ High School.

Massive wake-up call

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A massive wake-up call with their first competition game just around the corner, might be just the motivation the Ashburton College, soon to be Mid Canterbury Schools, First XV needed.

After two good pre-season wins against club sides the College team were wiped off the park by a slick Timaru Boys’ High School side at Ashburton College on Saturday afternoon, beaten 0-51.

But while the score line could be seen as damaging, coach Si-

mon Fleetwood was prepared to look for the positives.

“We got a lot out of the game,” he said.

“Both from a positive angle and from a negative angle. But it did show that we are structurally not quite there when it comes to executing our game plans especially when it comes down to set plays, our scrums and lineouts in particular.”

Fleetwood said his side looked good when they did have the ball in hand and on more than one occasion they looked threatening towards the Timaru Boys’ line.

“There were positives there, I saw plenty of things I was happy about with a view to moving forward.

“We did probably get found out a bit around our defensive systems, but Timaru played a really clever way of attacking the game.”

Fleetwood will be hammering home to his players this week the importance of fitness as he said that was a clearly obvious thorn in their side at the weekend.

“It’s a case of needing to do more than what we are doing on the training paddock.

“It was quite obvious to see out there on Saturday.”

The College side will have one more pre-season match before the competition begins on April 29.

They will host the Dunedin based school, Kings College, in a fixture on Thursday, April 20 on the College ground.

“That’s going to be a good final test,” Fleetwood said.

Then it will be a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire when they kick off proceedings with their first round match against Shirley Boys’ High School nine days later.

Sonny Bill to be given special Blues’ jersey Sonny Bill Williams is on the brink of getting a dispensation to wear a special jersey without the logos of two of the Blues’ and New Zealand Rugby’s most significant sponsors on it.

The Blues midfielder hit headlines around the world after covering up the BNZ logo on his collar before playing his first match for the team against the Highlanders in Dunedin last Saturday.

It was done due to All Black Williams’ religious beliefs and on conscientious objection grounds – he is a practising Muslim – and the issue, which caught the Blues and New Zealand Rugby by surprise, is close to being resolved.
