DOUBLE DEALING IN THE CRIMINAL WORLD
BLOOD CITY, a new novel by ‘Scotland’s foremost true crime writer’ (The Scotsman), is a fast-paced thriller set in 1980, just as the heroin trade was beginning to boom in Glasgow. Skelton is already well known for his true crime books, notably Blood on the Thistle, Glasgow’s Black Heart and Frightener (with Lisa Brownlie). The latter is an investigation into the controversial Ice Cream Wars murder case. The background of the novel – the explosion of the heroin trade in the early 80s – is based on a piece of Glasgow criminal folklore. Author Douglas Skelton said: “There is a story that in the early 80s, a handful of top crooks in the city came together to form a cartel to help build the heroin trade. It grew from there. “I’ve run with that idea, but the real story deals with a young guy called Davie McCall with a bad past and a bloody future – until he meets a girl. The question he asks himself is – can he change? Can he push his past and his present out of the way to change his life?”

OCTOBER WEEK – PARENTAL SURVIVAL GUIDE Make sure your kids are safe and have fun during the midterm holidays
PARENTS! Do not fear, Oc-‐ tober week is here and the schools are closed for the week. But even despite the unpredictable weather and darker nights, there is no need to panic. The ReGEN has put together a programme of events across the North and East of Glasgow that will keep the kids occupied during the day as well as making sure they have a great Ɵ ŵĞ ƚŚŝƐ KĐƚŽďĞƌ ďƌĞĂŬ͘
Kids will get will get bumps and scrapes, that is all part of growing up, but there are things you can do to help protect them as much as possible. The biggest danger to the safety of ĐŚŝůĚƌĞŶ Ăƚ ƚŚŝƐ Ɵ ŵĞ ŽĨ year is being knocked down by a car.

WHAT’S RIGHTFULLY YOURS
Every year millions of pounds in welfare benefits go unclaimed. For a variety of reasons, people rightfully entitled to claim them don’t do so. That means huge amounts of money are kept by the Government, rather than being directed to help vulnerable people and families pay essential household bills. You may even be able to get help if you’re working. At a time when welfare reforms are having a dire impact on families across Scotland, GHA and Cube Housing Association are doing all we can to ensure our tenants receive everything available to them.
