GREAT TO see a strategy to try<br />
and stop opportunist arsons at<br />
schools earmarked for demolition<br />
around the city (see page 1).<br />
Typically, random fires that<br />
happen at schools (usually during<br />
school holidays) are started<br />
in rubbish bins, or on outdoor<br />
furniture, and usually by groups<br />
of teenagers roaming the area at<br />
night looking to create mischief.<br />
The real arsonists take the places<br />
out with planned intent. These<br />
guys are few and far between and<br />
always fairly impossible to stop.<br />
So a wise move by the Fire<br />
Service and Ministry of Education<br />
to get rid of rubbish bins and<br />
equipment at unused schools,<br />
which hopefully will mean those<br />
marauding groups of teenagers<br />
will simply move on.<br />
And good luck to Mika Ravalawa<br />
(see page 1 and 18) – he’ll<br />
do well at the Canberra Raiders.<br />
– Barry Clarke<br />
Young filmmaker earns high praise<br />
