4 Westbourne News News from Westbourne, Branksome & West Cliff

Trendy New Bus Stops Completion of a number of new bus shelters has brought a modern new look to Westbourne’s pavements.

In total 72 new bus shelters across Poole and Bournemouth bring the latest stainless steel design, with a wide glass roof creating a light and airy waiting area. As part of the improvements, raised bus stop kerbs have been installed to enable a level entrance onto the bus for wheelchair users and passengers with buggies. Many of the new stops include colour Real Time Information displays, giving up to the minute information on how buses are running which is linked to the satellite tracking of the vehicles. 120 of the existing popular LED departure displays will also be refurbished and upgraded to the latest communications system.

You can also find the latest bus times on the web: www.nextbuses.mobi

Surviving the Winter Cold Last winter 379 vulnerable people died from cold weather related deaths in Dorset. As the winter weather kicks in, how to heat the home becomes one of the financial worries vulnerable, especially elderly residents, face.

Dorset Community Foundation is running a campaign which offers grants to local people unable to afford to heat their homes. The Surviving Winter Appeal aims to raise awareness of the combined effects of fuel poverty and social isolation, and how this puts many self-reliant older people at risk, particularly if they turn down their heating to save money.

Call 01202 292255 to speak to the Dorset Community Foundation. If you are in a position to help others, you can donate £5 by texting WARM15 £5 to 70070.

But don’t have the confidence to give it a go?

Local charity Life Cycle UK are offering FREE cycle training for anyone who lives, works or studies in the Bournemouth Borough Council area!

Life Cycle’s friendly and experienced Cycle Instructors support anyone who feels nervous about getting on a bike to ride confidently on the roads. They teach anyone, from beginners who haven’t ridden since childhood – or never learnt to cycle at all – to experienced cyclists who just want a little extra support to tackle that demanding junction.

Sessions cover all the basics of bike control; how to use gears, how to brake safely and how to signal - as well as help with local route planning. All sessions start in quiet off-road spaces and are tailored to the needs of the individual.

New cyclist Kittnii told us, “I just wanted to say thank you, because I started to ride with your help after 33 years. It’s a perfect feelng, like freedom, like being independent, like being a child at the age of 33. Thank you so much for your help.

I learned a great deal from you and will now be cycling more safely, more confidently and be more considerate. I have ridden to work every day PLUS - get a free since my goody bag to training!” support your Life Cycle offers cycling needs both individual and group sessions of up to two hours – friends and family are welcome too!

Jackets with a contrast top collar detail will be in and look out for military style double breasted coats. Long sleeve and short sleeve polo shirts will be ever -popular and some featuring fine detailing.

14 Local Jogging Route Get fit and enjoy the local scenery

Westbourne is the ideal location to start your local tour, be it jogging or at a more relaxed walking pace.

If the promenade is too busy, check out our local alternative route for your run.

Remember your run should start with a warm-up and end with a cool down. A good warm-up dilates your blood vessels, ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps stress on your heart. After your run, a cool down keeps the blood flowing throughout the body. Stopping suddenly can cause light-headedness as your heart rate and blood pressure drop rapidly.

Winding down slowly allows them to fall gradually.

18 New Reads for 2015 Kirsty Robinson at The Westbourne Bookshop

Welcome to the January Book Review and a big Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a fun-filled festive season and are now ready for 2015.

We would all like to say a huge thank you for the cards and kind gifts of chocolates and biscuits that you brought in to us at Christmas. So generous and thoughtful of you, and keeps us going when we’re too busy to stop for lunch!

This month I thought I’d recommend some paperbacks to curl up with on a cold winter’s night, some healthy New Year suggestions, and some books that you may not have received at Christmas, but may wish to purchase with your Book Tokens.

In Praise of Bees: A Cabinet of Curiosities - Elizabeth Birchall £25 RRP £30 This fascinating and comprehensive book explores the bee's place in human society from prehistoric cave paintings and inscribed clay tablets, through to our e Sav contemporary world - a cabinet whose drawers are filled £5 with nuggets of bee science and practical beekeeping, myth, religion, politics, philosophy, and folklore, plus a selection of verse and a rich variety of illustrations ranging from Old Masters and scientific etchings to modern photographs.

Southampton Docks: Looking Back at Britain's Premier Port – Andrew Britton £19.99 Explore the dock’s rich history, from 4-funnelled liners and flying boats, to power stations and refineries. This volume depicts all that happened in the docks through rare old photographs, previously unpublished behind-the-scenes shots of the dock at work, of captain’s logbooks and tickets, and even some ships’ menus.

By Steamer to the South Coast - Andrew Gladwell £14.99 Andrew Gladwell takes us on a tour of the south coast of England, illustrating the story of the paddle and pleasure steamers from south Devon to Sussex. Southampton and Bournemouth were the homes of the Red Funnel fleet, and Weymouth housed the ships of Cosens.

20 Remembering 2014 and looking forward to 2 So many great gigs!

Aaron Gregory is a Bournemouth based singer and songwriter who has been described by Rock Regeneration as a pillar of the local music scene.

Each edition Aaron brings us his round up of the best live music on offer locally.

Photo by Grant David Read © 2013

Here we are, the year 2015! If it lives up to 2014 then we are certainly in for a treat in Bournemouth for music and the arts. 2014 saw Bournemouth’s set of highly rated acts begin to grow.

The likes of Powdered Cows, Saturday Sun, Drew Allen, Jack Grace and Annie Winter have all released fantastic albums and have received an abundance of critical acclaim in the process. 2014 was also the year local boy Si Genero became a national sensation on the BBC show The Voice.

He did this with his memorable rendition of the song ‘Chicken Train’ causing Kylie Minogue and Tom Jones to dance like chickens.

Also bubbling away under the surface of the mainstream and playing storming sets at this summers festivals were Xander Allen and The Keys, Beth Johnstone, The Vacant Stares, The Jimmy Hillbillies and Beartown Zodiac. There probably hasn’t been such a talented and more diverse set of acts in the history of Bournemouth music. It really is only a matter of time before the national music press catches up. This is why you should definitely do all you can to see these acts before they break it big.

Local venues like The Anvil, Smoking Aces, The Cellar Bar, The Winchester and Mr Kyps are the best places to catch all of these acts.

So where do I tip you to go over the next two months? Well a definite must is a live gig at The Cellar Bar on the 20th February. This is for the album release of Beartown Zodiac who I’ve mentioned previously. I truly believe that with the release of their forthcoming album it will send this band skywards. They craft perfectly formed pop songs in the mould Beartown Zodiac

2015’s local music scene of Blur and Grandaddy but add a little bit of scuzz to their harmonies to roughen up the edges.

The Anvil in Lansdowne has some unmissable highlights over the next 2 months, namely Empire on the 13th Empire February and Ohhms on the 1st March.

I will have my dancing shoes on for both gigs but a show I ecstatically looking forward too will be the visit of Black Honey to Sixty Million Postcards on February 19th. They make a terrific sound that fits right in with the current Australian scene that has Ohhms brought us Flyying Colours and Tame Impala. They most remind me though of The History of Apple Pie. Anyone who is free on that evening I am sure you wont be disappointed to spend it watching a quality up coming act.

If you want a bigger arena style show then on the 10th February at The BIC, The Kaiser Chiefs are in town. The Kaiser Chiefs were the kings of mid noughties indie pop and wrote the hits “Oh My God”, “I Predict a Riot” and “Ruby”. They are definitely worth a watch as they are The Kaiser Chiefs now seasoned showmen and they are brilliant in holding fun shows for their audience.

At Mr Kyps on Thursday 5th February at 8pm you have the chance to see Laurence Jones. 22 year old Laurence won the award for "Young Artist of the Year," at the 2014 British Blues Awards.

Thanks for reading my column, as you can probably tell I am very excited about what 2015 has to offer. Happy New Year to all and Up The Cherries! Is this the year when Bournemouth’s music scene and football club Laurence Jones enter the big league?

Eat raw: Nutrients in fruit and vegetables can be diminished during food preparation and by heat, so if possible eat raw. When cooking vegetables, try steaming, microwaving or poaching rather than boiling.

Eat a rainbow: Different coloured fruits and vegetables contain their own combination of vitamins and minerals, so try to eat one portion from each colour group. Choose from red, green, yellow, white, purple and orange varieties of fruits and vegetable, including tomato based products and allium vegetables such as garlic.
