Free range eggs For THe edITor

Hi everyone, I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine. Let’s hope it lasts!

If you’re wondering ‘what’s with the heading?’ well I’m glad to say that after asking local shops and cafés for organic and free range, the new sunrise Café at Melvin square are coming around!

I went in and asked if the eggs were free range, and to my surprise Frank Tunc, the owner, said: “We now have free range eggs. They are better for the chickens, healthier for the local people, and my customers are important to me...plus there was more local demand.”

Well, I’m super happy for the chickens and Knowle Westers are no longer eating eggs from cooped up birds. If you would like to see similar issues tackled, let me know, or tell me if you have a success story yourself - e.g. maybe a local corner shop with organic milk?

We are also after more volunteers for the newsletter, we need more reporters, photographers and editorial members who can go to meetings, interviews and shoots in the day. If you are interested please contact me, it’s a great way to meet new people and learn new skills, as well as having a say in what local news is reported.

David Rothwell, of Inns Court, is about to see his fourth book published. David once said he wished a book about the relational database called “Ingres” existed. Ten days later, he found himself “accidentally writing a book” when the publisher he’d spoken to requested some initial chapters. After a second book about databases and a return to teaching english, David says: “I became aware that no one had ever published a Dictionary of Homonyms”. David’s Dictionary is being followed by an A to Z of english Literature, published later this year. Well done David!

green MedIa In Knowle wesTBy MIsTy TuNKs, CARBON MAKeOveR

so much news from the environmental media projects running from Knowle West Media Centre….

We have been working in partnership with Re:work and Buried treasure since January running the edible Landscapes Movement (eLM). Local volunteers have had the opportunity to learn gardening and media skills, the finest example of this happened on spring solstice when a fruit tree planting and pinhole photography event took place. Artist in residence, Justin Quinnell showed others how to make cameras out of old beer cans and the cameras were put up in eLM gardens around Knowle West. The results of their efforts will be seen in the summer when the pictures will be revealed. Watch this space…

Our Green mapping project is in full swing now with the first (FRee!) study visit to Budapest just around the corner. Three other european cities along with Bristol make up the 4 B’s Hive and participants get together and share learning and ideas about how to green map their locality. At the last local session a storyteller inspired the group to swap tales about Knowle West from yesteryear. Participant Becky Thompson said: “I loved the session. The best part was joining in with the storytelling, drawing the map and allowing free flow imagination. I learned new skills” The group is still open for others to join.

Also we were invited to the uK Public Health Association conference in Bournemouth, to speak about Active Travel, the project commissioned by Bristol NHs to promote the key message of 30 minutes activity 5 times a week. The presentation was well received with the audience asking key questions about the future of the project.

A Mad Plant Out Day was held at The Park during the holidays to celebrate spring - and show residents how to start growing their own veg. Run by Mil from Green Footprints, the event was held in the polytunnel at the Garden Centre. The idea was to bring residents together for a fun day and to answer questions about any gardening problems they might have. CJ (9) said: “I like planting tomatoes because I like waiting for them to grow and watering them and then eating them.”

If you have any questions about any of the above call Misty on 0117 903 0444 or email misty@kwmc.org.uk

What street on your beat do you find most interesting? I find Newquay Road very interesting: we have a mix of shops, a social club and a youth club. I get to chat to the residents and their children on a daily basis, it keeps me busy.

What part of the job do you dislike? I dislike the drugs in the area. special thanks to the local community, who submit information to the police, who then put their words into action by issuing police drug warrants and making arrests.

What people/persons do you admire in the community? I admire sister Florence and her colleagues who work endlessly as volunteers in the community (from the convent on Filwood Broadway).

What makes you smile while on your beat? I had to chase Goldilocks when she broke her ABsO in the community pantomime. I played PC Broadbury. It was a great opportunity to work with the local residents and other partners.

Outside of work, what are your hobbies? I love browsing through car boot stalls, collecting cook books and making novelty cakes.

Where can you see yourself in 5 years? I hope to be still patrolling Filwood.

PUSH BIKES AND THE LAWIf you are 16 or over, these offences are covered by a £30 fine: cycling on a pavement or foot path; cycling with no lights at night; cycling with more than 1 person on the bike.

new rUles For Under-age drInKIngBy sAMANTHA PAyNe, LOCAL RePORTeR

Growing up in Knowle West can sometimes mean that you’re exposed to vices from a young age. New powers have been introduced through the Policing and Crime Act 2009, which could mean that the streets are just that much safer and may even prevent disorder.

The new powers are: police no longer need to prove

that a young person intended to consume the alcohol to confiscate it; police can now issue ‘Directions to Leave’ to people aged 10-15; a new offence for under-18s of persistently possessing alcohol in a public place; and changing the offence of persistently selling alcohol to under 18s from three strikes within three months to two strikes in the same period.

James was excluded from school at the age of 14 and was regularly getting into trouble in the local community. When James was 15 he was issued with an anti social behaviour order. James built relationships with Positive Futures and was able to pursue his interest in sports and coaching whilst volunteering full time. James, now aged 17, is doing a modern apprentiship in activity leadership and is due to start an 8-week youth work introduction session.

James said: “When I was at school people said I would be in prison by the time I was twenty. Positive Futures helped me to create opportunities to choose better paths in my life. I now feel confident in my self and I feel I can achieve anything. If I had listened to the negative remarks and not the positive, I wouldn’t be where I am today”.

On 11th March shola and Candeace were invited to 10 Downing street to meet Prime Minister Gordon Brown as part of a ‘Community Heroes’ event, where they presented him with one of their t-shirts. They were also part of a team who supported a group of young women who planned and staged two sell-out fashion shows last month, as part of KWMC’s Fashionate project.

The Fashionate fashion show was a great success and the team hopes to run another event in the future. The young women worked extremely hard during the four-month project, learning skills including music-making, fashion photography, event planning, promotion and recruitment. On 6th and 7th May KWMC is launching Media Hothouse, a new 8-month project for 16-25 year olds offering the opportunity to work with media professionals to realise your creative ideas. To get involved contact Kamina: kamina@kwmc.org.uk / 0117 903 0444.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of work you have?

Whether it’s preparing for exams, homework or general house work – you won’t be able to get anything done and concentrate on one thing at a time, unless you create yourself a plan.

simply write down all the things you have to do, in order of importance. This way you’ll have a clear view of what needs to be done a.s.a.p and what can wait.

Another good idea is to write down the amount of time you want to spend on each activity.

By doing these simply plans, you’ll be taking a great load off your brain and be able to concentrate on each precise thing.

But don’t forget to also plan a relaxing and fun thing to do after you’ve finished everything!

Meal MaKeover: cHIcKen TorTIllasBy KATe ROBeRTs, COMMuNITy HeALTH WORKeR

These delicious wraps are ideal for packed lunches, making a welcome change from ordinary sandwiches. • 4 wraps or soft flour tortillas • 4 tablespoons of low fat soft cheese • 4 tablespoons of low fat natural yogurt • 1 skinless roast chicken breast, chopped into small chunks • 100g canned sweetcorn, drained • ¼ cucumber, finely chopped • 4 crisp lettuce leaves, shredded • Ground black pepper

1. Lay out the wraps or tortillas on a work surface. 2. In a mixing bowl, stir the soft cheese and yogurt together until smooth. 3. Add the chicken, sweetcorn and cucumber. season with some pepper, then mix well. spread an equal amount over each wrap, then top with the lettuce. 4. Roll up each wrap tightly, slice in half, then wrap in cling film. Keep cool until ready to serve. Tips : If you’re packing these wraps into a lunch box, try to remember to put a small ice pack in with them to keep them cool and fresh. If you’re not keen on cucumber or sweetcorn, use grated carrot.
