Magical world for kids

Herald Sun (Australia): 27 July 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

KIDS' THEATRE

CHILDREN'S theatre is a magical way to ignite your child's imagination and curiosity.

And there are some generous rewards in it for parents, too, says the Arts Centre's program manager for families, Emer Harrington.

She says children's theatre is a great way for kids to share special time with busy parents and other adults in their lives.

``I want them to be excited, inspired and engaged in the art together,'' Harrington says.

She recently sat behind a mother and son as they laughed together throughout a children's comedy show.

``It's the magic of theatre,'' she says.

``In this busy world, which is so hard on us time-wise, there often isn't time to sit and play and just be together with our children.''

And she says good children's theatre is also good adults' theatre, with quality productions respecting a child's intelligence.

``They don't have to be laughing and dancing all the time,'' Harrington says. ``Children can often handle quite complex meanings and emotions.''

Children's theatre director Ben Jackson, whose Alpha Shows tour schools with a modern take on traditional fairytales, urges parents to seek out shows that involve their young audiences emotionally and impart important lessons.

``Gimmicks, fart jokes and other taboo humour are all fun and we love sneaking them into our shows, too, but there has to be a heart and something for children and grown-ups to get excited about, to feel good about,'' he says.

Harrington agrees theatre can teach children about themselves, their community and the world.

NEW FEARS FOR PORTOBELLO AS SAM CAM'S FAVOURITE BUTCHERS JOIN THE CASUALTY LIST


Evening Standard (London, UK): 22 July 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Jonathan Prynn and Emer Martin

A spate of shop closures including David and Samantha Cameron's favourite butchers has triggered renewed concerns that Portobello Road is losing its �unique� market atmosphere.

Kingsland Edwardian Butchers has shut after 163 years' trading, to the dismay of customers. It follows the closure of the Progreso fairtrade coffee shop, which has been replaced by a branch of the Kurt Geiger shoe chain.

There are also fears for The Travel Bookshop in Blenheim Crescent � the inspiration for the store run by Hugh Grant's character in the movie Notting Hill � which is up for sale.

Alex Dumbell, a 22-year-old student who lives in the area, said: �Portobello Road is known for the small shops and independent businesses. If they were to go, it would lose its atmosphere.

�I applied for work in the [Progreso] caf�, I didn't apply for a job in Starbucks up the road because it would mean something different. In smaller, independent businesses, you get a sense of the people who run them, which makes the area what it is.� Haydn Field, who owned Kingsland Edwardian Butchers for 20 years, said he had to close after the agents for landlord Octavia Housing threatened to double his weekly rent to �1,300.

Customers included models Twiggy and Claudia Schiffer, comedian Rik Mayall, actor Tim Roth and writer Tom Parker Bowles. It was well known for serving sherry and port as shoppers queued for Christmas turkeys.

Mr Field said the rent was �170 a week when he took on the shop in the early Nineties, but as it rose along with business rates he had to lay off two of his sons.

�The Octavia Housing trust is supposed to be non-profit making. But when my wife Denise wrote to the 10 directors about the rent rise, all they said in their reply is 'when can you drop the keys off?'� he said. Tim Burke of Friends of Portobello said: �Octavia Housing needs to be held to account, their board needs to take immediate action before any more small shops are forcibly thrown out.� Michael Barnham, who owns Barnham Antiques, said: �When most people come here it is because they want to see something unique to Notting Hill and buy something unique.� A spokeswoman for Octavia Housing, said: �We made no formal application to increase the rent, which had not gone up since 2005. But it is a commercial asset and we need that money to run our charitable activities such as our elderly day care centre in the borough.�




STUDENT MISSIONARY DIES IN AMAZON LAKE

 

Evening Standard (London, UK): 18 July 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

EMER MARTIN

Tributes were paid today to a London student who drowned in an Amazon lake while working as a missionary.

Olakunle Teniola, 20, of Hackney, disappeared after jumping into the lake with a friend in Manaus, Brazil, after their boat stopped so they could have a swim.

Friends today spoke of their shock at the loss of �a truly special person� who had been �an inspiration�. A friend said: �His family are totally devastated. They cannot believe such a happy, inspirational guy has gone. He was so excited to be heading out to Brazil on missionary work. He was devoted to helping people � a truly special person.� News of Mr Teniola's death came just before his 21st birthday. His immediate family were too upset to speak today.

Mr Teniola, right, who called himself �Gospelz� on Facebook and other social networking sites, was in his second year of a BA in youth work at Coventry University. His tutor, Brian Goredema-Braid, called him a very popular student.

Friend Melody Peters said on Twitter: �He left a legacy and it's up to all of us to continue it.� It is believed Mr Teniola, who grew up on a Hackney council estate, could not swim.

He was with Ray of Hope, a group that works with underprivileged Amazon communities.

City centre dolphin in nets death

 

TRAGEDY

Mirror (UK): 13 July 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

ONE of three dolphins that swam right into the middle of Cork city died after becoming tangled up in fishing nets yesterday.

The fisherman cut him loose but was unable save him. Scientists at UCC retrieved the carcass yesterday afternoon and plan to carry out a post-mortem tomorrow.

The male "sub-adult' - the equivalent of a teenager - swam up the River Lee with two other common dolphins on Monday.

Expert Dr Emer Rogan said: "This is a series of unfortunate events."




MUSEUMS WARNED OF RHINO HORN THIEVES


Evening Standard (London, UK): 11 July 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

EMER MARTIN

CRIMINALS are targeting London museums and auction houses to steal rhino horn, which can fetch twice the price of gold.

The Horniman Museum in Forest Hill has removed all rhino horn from display after being warned by police. Dc Ian Lawson of the Met's Art and Antiques Unit said premises with rhino horn on show had �been subject to hostile reconnaissance�. Museums, auction houses, stately homes and private individuals that hold the material should review their security, he added. Rhino horn � which can fetch up to �60,000 a kilo � is used in the traditional medicines of many Asian countries. A rhino head was stolen from Haslemere Educational Museum in Surrey in May.

Paolo Viscardi, a curator at the Horniman, advised museums to temporarily remove references to rhino horn from online collection databases.

THE X FATTER Takeaway orders soar during show says website

 

Mirror (UK): 04 July 2011 [What follows is the full text of the news story.]

THE X Factor could be contributing to the nation's expanding waistlines as viewers go for a takeaway in front of the telly.

Online takeaway ordering website just-eat. ie releases its annual report today which reveals there is a rise in orders when the Saturday night reality TV show is on.

The firm's marketing manager Emer McCormack said: "One of the most visible trends we've identified in our research is the link between ordering food online and watching reality shows.

"For example during broadcasting of the X Factor we experienced high traffic volumes between 7pm and 7.30pm, just before it aired.

"We also noticed that most consumers were ordering more than three meals at a time, suggesting that they were ordering for a group of friends or family."

And Ms McCormack said the firm's research shows after the hit TV3 show finished at the end of last year with Matt Cardle taking the public's adulation, the busiest takeout night returned to its more traditional Sunday night slot. But it's not all bad news for people worried about bulging waistlines as the report notes hungry Irish punters are increasingly choosing the healthier option.

Ms McCormack said: "We found that consumers seemed to be increasingly ordering healthier alternatives to traditional takeaways.

"The surge in popularity of Thai food was especially impressive and we expect to see that continue to grow by 10% this year."

Despite this, Chinese takeouts are still king accounting for one in five orders from last year. But the bag of chips was the most popular single item.

Other statistics compiled by just-eat.ie show New Year's Day was the busiest day for takeaways. And the average spend throughout the year was EUR20 - a lot less than it would cost to eat out.

The company's managing director James Galvin said: "The recession has undoubtedly brought up many new challenges for businesses.

"The restaurant industry is no different and in recent years we have witnessed a significant decrease in the number of people eating out... staying in has undoubtedly become the new going out."




SORRY
..but accused tells gardai he doesn't remember attack on mum in park


Mirror (UK): 02 July 2011 [What follows is the full text of the news story.]

A DEAF and mute Bosnian man said "sorry" when charged with attacking a woman in a park, a court was told yesterday.

Adis Bekric, 25, appeared at Blanchardstown District Court charged with assault causing harm on a young mum of one in Ballymount Park in Dublin on Monday May 30.

The 27-year-old woman was allegedly attacked while she was out walking at 11.45am.

The court heard he was arrested earlier this week and brought to Clondalkin Garda station.

Garda Emer Tomkins told judge Brian Sheridan that she charged Bekric with the offence at 10.55pm.

He responded through a sign language interpreter: "I have said I did it but I didn't remember fully hitting her. My memory is blank.

"I told my girlfriend and she is angry and crying and I am angry and crying now.

"My girlfriend has told her mother and she is very mad. She is going to fly over and sort this out.

"I have said sorry and sorry about the past. If I go to jail she is going to fly over."

Detective Garda Keith Marron told the court that he arrested Mr Bekric at his home address at 3pm on Wednesday June 29.

He was arrested under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Lawyer Elizabeth Davey applied for bail for the accused.

But Detective Inspector Colm O'Malley objected on a number of grounds and Judge Sheridan upheld the objection. Bekric was remanded in custody in Cloverhill prison and he is due to appear in court again in one week.

Dressed in a green khaki camouflage shirt, a black and white striped top and blue jeans Bekric looked at his interpreter throughout the hearing.

The alleged victim also appeared at the hearing yesterday morning accompanied by members of her family.

Judge Sheridan ordered that the defendant's address should not be published in the media.
