Riverton celebrate club day with win
Relevant offers
Riverton celebrated their club day and a great team of the past with a 35-5 win over Wrights Bush in division two action on Saturday.
With 18 surviving members of the 1964 team that won the Western Banner and narrowly lost 17-14 to Blues in a Southland-wide club championship on hand celebrating a 50th jubilee, the senior team scored five tries in their win.
Goalkicking halfback Colin Thompson was a standout for Riverton, with club president Rodney Lonneker among the try- scorers.
The conditions got the better of the game in the second half as Pirates-Old Boys ground out a 23-10 win over Central Pirates-Star at Wilson's Crossing.
The visitors were ahead 16-0 at halftime before the sticky conditions turned the second half into forward-oriented game.
Fullback Jordan Davis and lock Corban Winiata impressed for Pirates-Old Boys. A good performance from try-scorer Kurt McClutchie helped Woodlands pull away from Midlands in their second half of their game at Woodlands.
Leading 10-7 at the break, the home team won 22-12 with two tries to Brennan Melbin and a conversion to Richard Te Raki.
Woodlands are looking forward to a Thursday night game, rescheduled to make way for the test in Dunedin, against Pirates-Old Boys at Rugby Park.
Manager Shane Steel said it would be the first time playing at headquarters for many of the Woodlands players.
Albion-Excelsior weren't able to fully capitalise on a big 29-0 halftime lead, but were still comfortable winners over Balfour- Lumsden.
Coach Jason Webb was pleased with the performance over the first 40 minutes but felt his team fell asleep for 20 minutes in the second half. Flanker Chris Ponga, No 8 Cody Sayer and tighthead prop Shannon Robinson had good games for the Gore team.
Blues overcame Collegiate 13-12 at home.
Marist got back on the horse with a 59-25 win over Waiau Star.
Marist coach Nathan Burgess paid credit to referee Mike Taylor for playing his part in the high- scoring affair. Taylor had a good grasp of the rules and was the best official Marist had encountered this season, Burgess said.
First-five Jeremy Boyle controlled the game well for the home team, while openside Jamie Ballock and blindside Willy Pera also had good games.
Central Pirates-Star 10, Pirates- Old Boys 23; Woodlands 22, Midlands 12; Albion-Excelsior 41, Balfour-Lumsden 5; Blues 13, Collegiate 12; Marist 59, Waiau Star 25; Riverton 35, Wrights Bush 5.

I've had this for about a week and am generally pleased with its operation and results. The professional reviews will tell you that this camera has flaws that are typical of this class of ultra-compact camera - probably true, although most of the photos look very good to me. Any limitations are more than offset by the fact that you want to slip this thing in your pocket every time you go out, whereas you debate whether or not the chore of taking along a big camera is worth it. Why is it so pocketable? It's partly the tiny size, which it shares with some competitors - almost identical to my Razr cellphone, but just a tad thicker - but it's also because of the smooth, rounded-off shape which seems unique on the market. It just slides into a pocket or bag - no protrusions, no sharp edges, almost sensuous to the touch. To me it's a thing of beauty. Now the complaint. The hinge on the cover that conceals the USB and HDMI connectors is so flimsy and awkward, I thought it was broken. You pull the cover up with your nail and it pops up about 45 degrees from the face of the camera and just hangs there on its squishy plastic hinges, looking and feeling like it's broken, and still partially obscuring the connectors. If you are brave, you can twist it up and out of the way - it won't break off like you expect but will provide a rubbery resistance until the connectors are uncovered. It gives me a squeamish feeling every time I do it, like twisting a tiny finger in a way it wasn't meant to go. The first time I did it, I thought "if it wasn't broken before, it must be now", so I returned the camera for a replacement. Imagine my surprise when the new one was just the same as the old one. I called Canon support - a great service, by the way - and they confirmed theirs worked that way too. I'm still amazed that they would put such a flimsy part on something that otherwise works like a precision instrument. The battery/card cover works fine - Canon does know how to build a flap with a hinge. I guess I'll keep the camera. I love the looks, I love the size and shape, it's fun to use, and the photos are more than good enough, given the portability. But next time I buy a small camera, I might investigate build quality a bit more. One last thought - I admire Canon's marketing department for allowing unedited customer reviews on their site. That kind of company honesty will help keep me a loyal customer.

Having been a longtime supporter of CANON Elph cameras, this one seemed the ultimate find. It isn't. It has quickly become a chore to deal with from day one. And I've only had it a few days. First of all, this camera is so tiny, light and overly compact, it is like handling a child's toy with hidden little buttons and tiny access areas for little tiny fingers. Features like zoom and even START are a task to find without looking closely. You almost need a pencil to move the buttons. The light metering/exposure setting is WAY off and doesn't adjust to where you set it. It makes it's own mind up where it should be when you deliberately tell it something else. It is very irriatating. The MACRO feature is continually wavering and very unstable. The camera has a hard time focusing, swinging constantly in and out of focus, no matter which setting. Talk about irritating. The "amazing" HD movie feature is no sharper or clearer than the CANON SD1100 IS 8MP. This HD video is jumpy and "catches" as you move from side-to-side in a scene. It has a "nervous" look to it. JUST AWFUL! The main reason I bought this camera was for the 14.1 MP feature. I have a 7.1 MP CANON already... and there is almost no difference in clarity in comparing high resolution shots from both. Also, instead of having instant access to a feature, you almost always have to go through secondary steps to get to that feature. It is a great loss of time when you are a nature photographer trying to capture elusive subjects... you are too busy going through the maze to find the settings you need. What should have been a stunning upgrade in purchasing this new CANON camera has been a very inconvenient and weak imitation of previous models. I feel let down, having fallen for the grand illusion that this HD 14.1 MP CANON SD1400 IS would live up to it's promises. Bottom line: IT DOESN'T! It is a jarbled, weak and confusing attempt at upgrade. I've no choice but to go back to my trusted and true SD1000.

This camera will let you change the format of the photo from normal to; sepia, black and white, Vivid, intence red or green and light skin tone or darker skin tone. It will let caterlog the photo or photos. In addition to the picture quality this camera has many other features that you can change including piture size. The new ones are Wi FI capable and the soft ware is easy to use and wonderful to use for all you photo needs.
Great for a quick snapshot. The auto focus is great. Wish the playback screen was a bit bigger...love the camera, tho'.
Megapixels and photo quality good. Like a lot of people, I've neglected to read the instructions so it's taken me a while to figure things out. I wish the camera had a view finder rather than just an LED screen. Also, no matter how I set the camera I can not take a photo when I hit the "take" button. It is always delayed regardless of the "action" setting or not. I wouldn't recommend it for taking photos of your kid making hoops or touchdowns as the moment would be gone. However, it takes fantastic photos of most everything else. I can get seriously great up close photos of flowers with spectacular color.
I love this camera! I brought it to England with me to document my entire trip! Definitely worth it! :) I love Canon and will continue to stick with it!
By far, the best pocket camera I've ever owned. Very fast power up to first shot. Automatically adapts very well to various shots and light levels. Only 4x zoom, but it's perfect for every day.
I always want to keep updated with the new canon cameras, so I have been a loyal canon customer for 10 years and have maybe had 6 different cameras. I have always been happy with their products except for this one. I purchased this camera 3 months ago and was really excited about the light weight and sleek design especially for the price that it was going for. The pictures don't come out as clear as the other cameras I've used in the past. One night for my birthday all the pictures came out horrible, my iphone took better pictures than the camera did. This camera really made me want to change and see other camera companies.
This camera is a gem. It takes great pictures and offers a range of settings that make being creative and capturing great shots a joy. My camera has been put through the paces this summer, and it has fared incredibly well. So worth it.
While I love the small, sleek shape of this camera, I do not recommend it. Mine broke 4 times in just over a year (lens issues that were not my fault). Luckily I bought an extra warranty through the store I purchased the camera from. Each time the malfunction was deemed unreparable and I received a new camera. I appreciated that but seriously-- what a waste! I'd much rather buy a better quality camera that doesn't break, thereby saving me 4+ trips to the store and saving 4 products. Also, I was never impressed with the focus on close-up objects-- sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
Software disc did not load, poorly constructed, access to ports is clumsy and seems like access panel will break easily, the access panel to the battery compartment already broke and I only opened it twice, labels for menu and other function keys are printed in a small font in a dark color so the keys are very difficlut to read especially if taking photos at night or in dim lighting. This was a gift, I would not have selected this camera.
This is my third or fourth digital camera, all of the previous cameras have been of various makers. But this by far is the best camera I have ever had. I have taken it on multiple vacations, with varying settings from busy traffic to landscapes and every picture comes out clear and perfect. I have recommended this camera to my friends, my parents and even my co-workers. I would highly recommend this camera to ANYONE who is interested in beginning to learn photography or anyone that just wants to take a great picture in any setting. If you get a chance, check out the color features, which allow you to choose one color to focus on while all the other colors are blacked out. This is probably the most amazing extra the camera has to offer, but again it was something i found after i bought the camera. So just another plus. Again... HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE... Easy to use, easy to maintain, great photo quality and some additional advancements for those interested in photography.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Who can forget the time he put a paper bag on his head that read "I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE"? Or when he was forced to apologize for plagiarizing parts of his short film? He then promised to retire from public life.
Now, he's been escorted from a Broadway theatre in handcuffs for allegedly yelling obscenities during a performance of "Cabaret." The guy who insisted he's not famous was heard screaming, "Do you know who I am"?
Witnessing Shia LaBeouf's recent off-screen and offstage antics is getting to be like watching a slow-moving train wreck. Has he become the male equivalent of Amanda Bynes?
"Shia LaBeouf is certainly not alone in displaying unusual behaviour and even immaturity," said Jason Maloni, senior vice-president at Levick, a strategic communications company that guides clients through challenging media situations. "This is just the latest incident that put him crossways with an actor's most important constituent — his fan base as well as his fellow professionals."
Maloni added: "Bad behaviour in a public setting followed by an arrest doesn't make for a very effective visual. Frankly, he's been perp-walked out of Broadway, quite literally. So he's in some distress."
LaBeouf was watching Alan Cumming and Michele Williams in a "Cabaret" revival on Thursday night when his latest problems began. The inside of the theatre, which used to be a notorious, coke-fueled disco in the 1970s, has been reworked to look like a decadent Berlin cabaret from the 1930s, with tiny nightclub tables and a working bar.
LaBeouf, who had paid for his ticket, was seen offering a strawberry to a woman and lighting a cigarette. He was also observed slapping Cumming's rear as the performer walked through the seats to get onstage. Cumming didn't react.
According to the criminal complaint, a security guard saw LaBeouf stand up in the middle of Act 1 and "yell loudly at the actors onstage." When LaBeouf was asked to leave, he refused, according to the complaint. "Do you know who the f--- I am? Do you know who I am?" the actor is said to have bellowed.
He was charged with five counts of disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment. His next court date is July 24. After his court appearance Friday, the 28-year-old actor, wearing a ripped blue T-shirt, walked several blocks to a hotel on West 54th Street. He declined to comment. His publicist did not return a request for comment, either.
The outburst happened only a few blocks from where LaBeouf had planned to make his Broadway debut last year in a revival of Lyle Kessler's play "Orphans," with Alec Baldwin. He pulled out over creative disagreements and then immediately posted private messages from the show's actors and creative team.
Now he's accused of disrupting fellow stage actors while they're performing. Perhaps worse, he's become an endless punchline. Cumming tweeted that the stage manager at "Cabaret" told the actors at the top of Act 2: "This is your places call and Shia LaBeouf has left the building in handcuffs."
LaBeouf's latest tantrum occurs just as the film franchise that made him a star gives birth to its fourth iteration — without him. He had been the star of the first three "Transformers" films, but a fresh start was decided best for "Age of Extinction."
LaBeouf, whose other big films include "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," has endeared himself as an artsy guy who can do action movies. He's also prone to refreshing bouts of honesty, as when he admitted that his "Indiana Jones" film was bad. "I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished," he said after it came out.
But his fan base may dissipate after more bizarre stunts that resemble the kinds of things once associated with fellow Disney alumna Bynes, who has been accused of throwing a bong out of a Manhattan window, starting a fire in a driveway, reckless driving and posting a number of disturbing tweets attacking celebrities like Rihanna and Christine Teigen.
Maloni, who has counselled artists and athletes in trouble, said he would advise LaBeouf to do the same as any of his clients: He needs a quiet period. "He needs to stop turning up on Page Six and instead he needs to turn up on the pages of the film and theatre critics of the world."
There is always hope, Maloni said. "The wonderful benefit that a performer has is you have a tremendous ability to rebuild your reputation. One has to only look at Robert Downey Jr. ... I think Shia can do the same thing."

Shocker, Obama bundler and MF Global honcho Jon Corzine is unlikely to face criminal charges
Well the feds shuffled a few papers, peeked into a desk drawer or two at MF Global, and shockingly found nothing criminal with which to charge Jon Corzine, or anyone else. $1.2 billion dollars in customer money went poof! and federal investigators have been "unable to find a smoking gun."
As if Eric Holder's Injustice Department is feeling particularly motivated to look for one.
They say the money was lost due to "chaos and poor risk control systems." In other words, simple incompetence. Yeah, the taxpayers of New Jersey can relate.
On the other hand, investigators barely scratched the surface before giving up.
However, there are still a ton of questions here. Like why the feds have not made a deal with Edith O'Brien, the MF Global staffer who was ordered to handle sending money in and out in the end days of MF Global. She said she will not speak unless she gets a deal offering her immunity from prosecution. Why don't the feds give her the immunity she wants, and talk with her to find out the scoop?
Uh, because they're afraid of what she'll say? When you're "investigating" a guy who's raised millions for your boss's re-election you really don't want to upset the apple cart. Not unless you don't like your job.
And besides, it's much more politically expedient to sic the dogs on those infernal Tea Partyers. The feds have limited resources you know, and they have to point them wherever they'll do the most good. MF Global? There's nothing to see here, move along.

St. Clair Shores
Details emerge of man found dead in portable toilet
By Kristyne E. Demske
Published May 6, 2014
ST. CLAIR SHORES — A 65-year-old man who once attended West Point and Wayne State University spent his final days trying to stay out of the elements in a portable toilet at the Nine Mile Boat Ramp.
St. Clair Shores Police Detective Margaret Eidt said the department has now identified and reached relatives of 65-year-old Gary Roger Szarek, who formerly resided on Elford Court in Grosse Pointe Woods before the home was sold in 2010 for back taxes.
Through her investigation, Eidt said they were able to reach relatives of Szarek, who told her that he had graduated from West Point, the United States Military Academy, and attended Wayne State before working in the computer department of an unnamed university in the 1980s. Sometime at the end of that decade, Eidt said, "he was passed over for a promotion and from there, he snapped and quit his job."
After that, relatives told Eidt, Szarek became a recluse.
The person who purchased the Grosse Pointe Woods home that had belonged to Szarek's family told police that "the house was full of garbage, there was a hole in the roof and, amongst all the garbage, was a pristinely made bed," Eidt said.
"They knew that he was sneaking in and out of the home, and in 2011, they ended up having to call the police to have him removed from the house. From that point on, he took to the streets and we knew that he was residing mostly along the wall that goes between Fishbone's parking lot and Shore Club."
Eidt said a resident of Shore Club told her he used to offer Szarek clothing and food, and told him around October or November of 2013 to seek shelter for the winter. It's at that point that police believe he took up residence in the portable toilet at the Nine Mile Boat Ramp. Eidt said American Sanitation, the owner of the portable toilet, told her it is very common for the homeless to seek shelter in their facilities and so they try to check them throughout the winter; they could not do so because the ramp had been locked.
"Talking with other family members, they said he was highly intelligent, good looking and also, unfortunately, he did suffer from some mental illness," Eidt said. "According to the cousins, they had not seen or heard from him for probably 20-30 years. They were still very devastated by the news of his passing."
An autopsy concluded that Szarek died of hypothermia, that he was not a smoker or alcoholic, and he did not abuse drugs, she said. In his possession at the time, he had $146, $26 in bottle return slips, Mega Millions lottery tickets, and a driver's license found by the sanitation company in a brown wallet that was buried in the ankle-deep trash in the portable toilet.
"He really did not want to interact with anybody," Eidt said she learned from witnesses. "If anybody would challenge him on going and staying at MCREST … he would tell people that he has enough money to live on and he did not need help."

Velvet Chicken with Baby Bok Choy
From EatingWell: September/October 2011
Velvet chicken is a classic Chinese cooking technique that keeps the meat juicy and succulent, and the chicken stays creamy-white rather than getting browned as in most stir-fries. Baby bok choy is about 3 inches in length and stir-fries quickly. If you can't find it, use regular bok choy cut into 2-inch segments.
Makes: 4 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each

- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick bite-size slices
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, divided
- 2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine (see Note) or dry sherry, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil, divided
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 6 cups water
- 2/3 cup chopped scallions, divided
- 1 tablespoon finely julienned or minced fresh ginger (see Tip)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 8 cups trimmed and halved baby bok choy (about 12 ounces)
- Combine chicken, egg white, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons rice wine (or sherry) and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is totally dissolved and no clumps are visible. Add 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine broth, soy sauce, white pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons rice wine in a small bowl.
- When the chicken has 10 minutes to go, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Reduce the heat to low. Carefully add the chicken to the barely simmering water; gently stir so it doesn't clump together. Cook just until opaque but not cooked through, about 1 minute. Carefully drain the chicken in a colander and shake to remove excess water.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1/3 cup scallions, ginger and crushed red pepper; using a metal spatula, stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add bok choy and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the bok choy is almost crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken. Stir the broth mixture again, swirl it into the wok and stir-fry until the chicken is just cooked through and lightly coated with sauce, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/3 cup scallions.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Shao Hsing (or Shao xing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available at most Asian specialty markets and in the Asian section of some larger supermarkets. If unavailable, dry sherry is the best substitute.
- Tip: To finely julienne ginger, cut peeled fresh ginger into paper-thin slices, make a stack of 3 slices at a time, then cut into fine matchsticks (about 1/8 inch wide).

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2012 /CNW/ - Financial advisors expect to see increased use of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in client portfolios, while aversion to risk remains high, according to a recently released Invesco Ltd. market study of U.S. registered investment advisors (RIAs).
Invesco's Canadian subsidiary, Invesco Canada, offers 14 ETFs under the PowerShares Canada brand.
Advisors surveyed believe ETFs will make up 24 percent of portfolio allocations over the next 12 months and 33 percent over the next three years, representing a 10 percent increase over results reported in Invesco's survey of advisors in 2011.
Against a lingering backdrop of global economic uncertainty, advisors still see clients remaining vigilant in their aversion to risk as 91 percent believe their clients are more interested in minimizing losses than maximizing gains.
"This year's study continues to show how financial advisors are embracing the value of ETFs and the many ways they can be implemented in their clients' portfolios," said Michael Cooke, Head of Distribution, PowerShares Canada. "But even as many equity markets have shown signs of strength year to date, advisors are still indicating that risk management is a primary focus and they are looking to a variety of products, including alternative assets, to manage risk."
The survey also found a growing appetite for complex strategies, such as smart-beta ETFs, but broader adoption will require more education on how these strategies can best serve investors.
"ETF adoption rates in the U.S. have tended to lead those in Canada by several years, suggesting that ETF usage can be expected to continue among Canadian advisors. But this growth in adoption will require education - an area where PowerShares Canada has become a leader," said Cooke.
With such issues as portfolio allocation and risk management in mind, Invesco Ltd. partnered with Cogent Research LLC to conduct its second blinded study to learn what is top of mind for advisors and their clients given current market conditions.
Among other key findings in the Invesco study:
Advisors continue to blend active and passive funds in a single
Forty percent of financial advisors agree that now more than ever they are creating portfolios using a blend of active investment vehicles and passive ETFs. Less than a quarter of advisors use an exclusively all active management portfolio (24 percent) or an all ETF/passive management portfolio (19 percent).
Risk management remains a priority
Consistent with the 2011 survey, advisors cite managing risk as a predominant philosophy in managing client assets (40 percent). The survey showed wealth preservation as the most important issue for clients, followed by mitigating risk.
Risk management investment strategies have not changed
Advisors continue to mitigate risk in client portfolios by creating a blended asset allocation of active investments and passively managed ETFs (62 percent) and applying a more conservative asset allocation (56 percent).
Alternatives, emerging market equities and large-cap funds drawing more
Within actively managed mutual funds, advisors are most likely to increase capital over the next 12 months in alternatives (46 percent), emerging market equities (43 percent) and U.S. large-cap funds (40 percent).
About the Invesco RIA Market Research Study
The RIA Market Research Study was conducted for Invesco Ltd. by Cogent Research in late August and early September 2012. The study is based on a survey of financial advisors around the United States with an average of $478 million in investable client assets. Cogent Research is not affiliated with nor employed by Invesco.
A white paper featuring additional, detailed findings from the study is available at http://www.invesco.com/auth/pdf/RIA-SURVEY-WP-3.pdf
To address concerns advisors have regarding risk management, Invesco Canada launched "Invesco Institute" seminars nationwide earlier this fall. These sessions provide advisors with risk education, risk-aware implementation ideas and programs to help them effectively speak to clients about risk topics. Advisors are asked to contact their Invesco Sales representative for more information about opportunities in their region.

Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Please read the prospectus before investing. Copies are available from Invesco Canada Ltd. at www.powershares.ca.
Most PowerShares ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the applicable index, and are not actively managed. This means that the sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets but rather continue to hold each of the securities in the index regardless of whether the financial condition of one or more issuers of securities in the index deteriorates. In contrast, if a PowerShares ETF is actively managed, then the sub-advisor has discretion to adjust that PowerShares ETF's holdings in accordance with the ETF's investment objectives and strategies.
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of ETF units.

Gardening By Variance?
I'm actually pretty excited about this coming weekend. There's an art and wine festival at our neighborhood and I have a great doubles tennis match set up.
But, even more than both of those, it's planting time this Saturday. Some carrots, peppered with onions, a little kale, maybe a few potatoes, and various asundry other "greens" and root vegetables that Montgomery's temperate climate allow us to grow in the winter. So, this weekend, I'll be placing the seeds (except for the potato where you just put the entire potato back into the ground and "Walla!" it sprouts) in this weekend with the hope of a nice bounty beginning circa late December 2009.
All of this is just fine since both the town where we reside and the neighborhood where we live allow for backyard gardens. However, with self-farming and local produce growing in popularity, several people aren't as fortunate as us.
This story discusses the legal/regulatory debate that is taking root across the country regarding zoning laws and home gardens:
Chad Emerson
New Castle County is among dozens of local governments nationwide dealing with the intersection of lifestyle and land use as a recession-fueled interest in urban farming collides with strict laws originally drafted to keep neighborhoods clean and tidy...
...Whether it's suburbanites keeping a few cluckers in the backyard or city residents tending rooftop vegetable gardens, urban farming is gaining appeal, McCrea said, because it gives people a little control in a world where fears about the food supply are on the rise. Even First Lady Michelle Obama is getting in on urban farming, planting an organic vegetable garden at the White House to tout the benefits of healthier eating.

New homes will use green belt 'equal to West Midlands'
Wednesday 22 January 2003
Local councils are on course to build houses on an area of green belt land bigger than Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton combined, countryside campaigners warn in research published today.
A study of local authorities' long-term Structure Plans by the Council for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) shows that nearly three million more homes are needed in England and suggests that councils' willingness to allocate precious green land instead of brownfield sites will remove tracts of countryside from counties such as Kent, Devon and Lancashire.
The study suggests that more than 431 sq km (166 sq miles) are earmarked for development, though the final area of countryside consumed could be greater. The CPRE's calculation of the land needed is based on achieving 25 homes per hectare, though some developers manage fewer than 20.
Inevitably, the green land hardest hit will be in the Southeast, where up to a third of the new homes are needed. Surrey needs at least 2,300 homes a year and Essex more than 5,000. Hampshire must build 80,290 homes by 2011 and identify land for another 14,000.
Devon must build some 65,000 homes by 2016 and the CPRE says about half will be on green sites. Of particular concern is a 3,500-home greenfield development outside Plymouth, which is being planned while several run-down brownfield sites in the city are in need of development.
Even in the North-west, where the post-industrial legacy includes England's greatest concentration of derelict brownfield sites, Lancashire County Council plans to build 11,000 homes on greenfield sites, the CPRE data says.
The warning is issued weeks before John Prescott, the Deputy Prime Minister, sets out the Government's proposals for housing and planning policy in the Communities Plan for England. He must balance the case for about 250,000 new homes in the South-east – mainly in four growth areas: Ashford in Kent, Thames Gateway, Milton Keynes Quadrangle and the London-Stansted- Cambridge M11 Corridor – with the need to rescue collapsing, derelict areas in the North and the Midlands.
The Deputy Prime Minister has already issued a density directive, which came into force last month, under which new developments in the South-east must include no fewer than 30 homes per hectare.
But the same rules do not exist in the rest of England – an issue of concern to the CPRE, which says 750,000 empty homes and at least 66,000 hectares of developed land and buildings are in need of redevelopment.
Mr Prescott's office rejected the scale of the problem, insisting last night that the municipal Structure Plans cited by the CPRE pre-dated both the density directive and revised planning guidance for councils, which calls for at least 60 per cent of new homes to be built on brownfield sites.
But this target is also inadequate, according to the CPRE, which says that even if the Government met this target, it would still need about 50,000 hectares of countryside. By contrast, the city of Manchester occupies 11,000 hectares.
Kate Gordon, the CPRE's planning officer, said: "Developers' preference for building on greenfield sites, assisted by local authorities' continued willingness to allocate such sites, is squandering scarce land. The result will be continuing unnecessary loss of countryside to urban sprawl and less investment in urban renewal."
The CPRE wants the national target for new housing using brownfield sites to be raised from 60 per cent to at least 75 per cent, and the 30 homes-per-hectare density directive to be extended to the whole of the country.
