:00:48. > :00:51.Find out who's wasting the most A Jersey farmer has been left
:00:51. > :00:56.devastated after 150 of his chickens were killed by two Jack
:00:56. > :01:02.Russels. Alan Rabet from Warren Farm says the attack has cost him
:01:02. > :01:05.thousands of pounds. It comes just days after two dog owners were
:01:05. > :01:10.warned in court to keep their pets under control after six sheep died
:01:10. > :01:16.and one was severely injured in September. Viewers may find some
:01:16. > :01:20.images in Amy Harris' report distressing.
:01:20. > :01:23.Farmer Alan Rabet surveying what's left of his fledgling business.
:01:23. > :01:29.There were once 150 chickens in here but the brood's been decimated
:01:29. > :01:39.by dogs. Alan was about to start selling eggs so he's devastated and
:01:39. > :01:39.
:01:39. > :01:45.down thousands. It was devastating to find so many of the chickens. If
:01:45. > :01:52.it was four or five but to find the whole pen, it was really
:01:52. > :01:56.heartbreaking. I am left with about �1,600 loss of income plus about
:01:56. > :01:59.�4,000 on restocking. This isn't an isolated incident. In a separate
:01:59. > :02:04.double dog attack, six sheep were killed and one was seriously
:02:04. > :02:07.injured. It happened here on the north coast, where the National
:02:07. > :02:12.Trust keep their sheep. Despite these warnings on every gate, two
:02:12. > :02:16.dogs were alone here when the attack happened in September. Their
:02:16. > :02:23.owners have since received court orders to keep them under control.
:02:23. > :02:28.Trust bosses say dog owners should remember their responsibilities.
:02:28. > :02:34.You need to establish a really good recall. You need to understand that
:02:34. > :02:39.what -- not all dogs are perfect. If they are given to be in a
:02:39. > :02:43.situation where there could be a problem, they go on a lead. It is
:02:43. > :02:46.about accepting that responsibility. It is a wonderful thing but with it
:02:46. > :02:50.becomes a responsibility to be a good owner. Meanwhile back at
:02:50. > :02:54.Warren Farm, Alan's busy clearing up. The dog owners have offered to
:02:54. > :02:59.pay up and are also said to be devastated. But for Alan, that
:02:59. > :03:03.doesn't make moving on any easier. How to convince people
:03:04. > :03:08.disillusioned with Guernsey's government to vote. That's the big
:03:08. > :03:11.challenge facing the States ahead of next year's election. More than
:03:11. > :03:14.22,000 people have already signed up to vote but with a target of
:03:14. > :03:19.35,000, the pressure is now on to encourage more people to have their
:03:19. > :03:29.say next April. And from today, the Home Department will be stepping up
:03:29. > :03:30.
:03:30. > :03:33.its campaign. The worst dilemma is that people who haven't registered
:03:33. > :03:37.by 29th February and then get enthused by those standing and then
:03:37. > :03:41.are disappointed because they forgot or did not register in time.
:03:41. > :03:47.If we can get people on the register and they are lined up
:03:47. > :03:50.ready to vote on 18th April next year.
:03:50. > :03:53.There's a chance Jersey could run out of fishermen. That's the
:03:53. > :03:56.warning from the head of the islands fishing association. Don
:03:56. > :04:00.Thompson says fleets and crews are ageing, and that young people
:04:00. > :04:03.aren't interested in the industry as a career prospect. It's hoped a
:04:03. > :04:07.new training course will change all that, as Edward Sault reports.
:04:07. > :04:12.These men are fishermen so why, do I hear you ask, are they putting
:04:13. > :04:16.out fires? Well, this is all part of their training. They've already
:04:16. > :04:19.learnt how to stay safe in the water, read maps and read charts
:04:19. > :04:27.and now they're learning how to cope with one of shipping's most
:04:27. > :04:30.dangerous problems: fire. We hope they will go away with a better
:04:30. > :04:35.attitude towards safety, more awareness of what can go wrong and
:04:35. > :04:39.if they do go wrong, there will be a better outcome than if they had
:04:39. > :04:49.had no training. And for people like Bobby, it's given him a chance
:04:49. > :04:52.
:04:52. > :04:57.I think it is good because it gets younger people into fishing and it
:04:57. > :05:02.will be good to sustain the industry in the future. But with
:05:02. > :05:06.the number of fishermen declining, will this solve a growing problem?
:05:06. > :05:11.Fish stocks are better now than we have seen for a very long time, but
:05:11. > :05:17.there are not the fishermen and boats to catch them. It is a lesson
:05:17. > :05:20.to us not to let go and to keep the come forward, be proactive, and
:05:20. > :05:24.look at ten years down the road. Back on the course, candidates take
:05:24. > :05:32.it in turns to put out fires. When they pass, they'll be qualified to
:05:32. > :05:36.skipper fishing vessels up to 60 feet. It is hoped it will help
:05:36. > :05:42.Jersey fire up one of Jersey's oldest professions.
:05:42. > :05:45.Fancy a free computer? Well, a number of deputies in Guernsey have
:05:45. > :05:48.been given one on loan as part of new cost cutting measures. Penny
:05:48. > :05:53.Elderfield reports. Hundreds of reports. Thousands of
:05:53. > :05:58.pages. The States get through a lot of paper each year. But now one
:05:58. > :06:03.department thinks it's come up with a solution. Each of the deputies on
:06:03. > :06:10.Public Services has been given a computer like this one to use. A
:06:10. > :06:17.move it's thought will have a number of benefits. I would say you
:06:17. > :06:20.have several kilos of paperwork a month. It would save tons of paper
:06:20. > :06:25.and it is more economical so environmentally, it is friendlier
:06:25. > :06:29.and sheep. You are talking about thousands of pounds in staff time
:06:29. > :06:35.in producing the documents, photocopying and all the rest of it.
:06:35. > :06:41.This is the agenda for the November States meeting. A fairly
:06:41. > :06:45.substantial document. But this is a year's worth of Billets. And when
:06:45. > :06:47.you times this by 47 deputies, you can start to see just how much
:06:47. > :06:50.paperwork we're talking about. And that's without all the additional
:06:50. > :06:55.documents they get. So should these computers be rolled out across the
:06:55. > :07:00.States? I think it is an excellent idea. If it can cut down on
:07:00. > :07:05.administration and paperwork, it has to be right. It might work. You
:07:05. > :07:13.don't know until you try it. saves on paper for a start because
:07:13. > :07:17.it is more incident. It is a very good idea, quite right. The idea
:07:18. > :07:21.may have some early support but ultimately, it will be up to the
:07:21. > :07:26.states to decide whether it is worth investing their necessary
:07:26. > :07:29.cash to banish the paperwork once and for all.

:08:22. > :08:26.These people are learning about how much energy their home loses
:08:26. > :08:29.through a lack of insulation. It's been called the Great Escape and
:08:29. > :08:38.it's highlighting the amount of energy being wasted from homes
:08:38. > :08:42.across the island. This is an educational tool that is being run
:08:42. > :08:45.by the Department of Environment to show people how good or bad their
:08:45. > :08:48.properties are in terms of the amount of heat energy they lose.
:08:48. > :08:51.This eco-active trailer has been demonstrating the new Jersey Heat
:08:51. > :08:55.Loss Map and how it works. With the help of a low-flying plane earlier
:08:55. > :09:02.in the year, a thermal image was taken of the whole island, a
:09:02. > :09:05.snapshot of energy being emitted from every home. It is the best
:09:05. > :09:11.thing you can do from an environmental and cost saving point
:09:11. > :09:16.of view, to insulate your home. This is a great way to find out, is
:09:16. > :09:19.your insulation good enough? A lot of people don't know. See what you
:09:19. > :09:22.can do to save money and save energy. With many homes in the
:09:22. > :09:28.island being decades or even centuries old, this was deemed
:09:28. > :09:33.necessary to make people more aware. Our idea was to have a vivid
:09:33. > :09:38.picture will demonstration of what energy loss can do and if you come
:09:38. > :09:45.down and have a look at your house, you can see if it is red, green or
:09:45. > :09:48.in between and that will tell you how much money you are wasting.
:09:48. > :09:51.you have to do is enter your postcode into the States website.
:09:51. > :09:54.It takes you to your street, click on your home and you can see how
:09:54. > :10:02.much energy your home loses unnecessarily. You might be
:10:02. > :10:06.surprised at the amount of hot air coming from your homes.
:10:06. > :10:14.I do hope you homes aren't using too much heat because it is getting
