The VOiCE would like to extol the virtues of a unique and exciting retail outlet that has opened its doors in L7. The perfect antidote to the huge faceless money leeching stores of the High St, the L7 Village Market is a gateway to the world‟s cuisine and is
the brainchild of local businessmen and owners of the New Delhi Cash and Carry on Laurel Rd. Brothers Steven, Paul and Rav Jagota and their business partner Kemal Aslan have between them over 100 years of retail experience. The brother‟s father actually started trading on Holt Rd almost 50 years ago and after moving into
wholesale 9 years ago they have been eager to return to retail. When the former Aldi store on the corner of Laurel/Prescot Rd came on to the market they saw their opportunity and have
created a truly unique shopping experience. In a Marks and Spencer tone of voice you could justifiably say “The L7 Village Market is more than just a supermarket” it is an
unrivalled experience and with the recent growth and interest in international fare the four owners saw an opportunity to bring global cuisine to the general public. The store has been designed to give a market feel with separate on site bakery and patisserie and halal butcher and an exceptional wide range of fruit and vegetables
taking you on a culinary journey around the world where you can stock up on everything from the basics, to the more exotic and re-create your holiday favourites. There is also an onsite cafe/coffee shop to relax and socialise creating a shopping experience with a holiday feel and when you acknowledge the range of products you can come out feeling like you‟ve been on a world cruise. Kemal Aslan told us how excited he is to have the
first Middle Eastern bakery in the North West which is baking fresh in store every day and, along with the halal butcher and huge range of everyday and exotic groceries, has been attracting customers from as far as Blackpool, Wigan and Warrington. Kemal said “I would estimate about 80% of our custom so far is from out of the area and that is just word of mouth as we haven‟t started advertising yet.”
But Kemal is keen to attract local customers in too and told us “I am passionate about encouraging people to think more about and experiment with the food they eat and to spend more time cooking and eating as a family. In the future we hope to do cooking demonstrations in the store and customers will be encouraged to join in and try new recipes” .
If puzzled by some of the strange looking products the helpful and friendly staff a more than happy to offer advice and ideas and there are often samples out on the patisserie to tempt any sweet tooth.
For the less experimental the market also stocks all the everyday essentials from bread and milk to teabags and toilet roll, so there really is something for everyone. The owners are keen to interact with their customers and have placed a suggestion box in store “If there is any products the customers feel are missing or would like us to source for them we will go out of our way to provide for them” Kemal tells us. “We are also planning an official opening event in the coming weeks to establish ourselves here in the community and all are welcome”. Many local residents are so delighted with the new store that a facebook group has recently been established „Friends of The L7 Village Market‟ where they aim to show their appreciation and hopefully swap recipes and cooking tips. Eat your heart out Tesco when did you last get a welcome like that? The L7 Village Market is open from 9am-8pm Monday-Saturday and 12-6pm Sunday.

Readers of April‟s edition of the VOICE were scammed into believing they all had become “Danish” due to the alleged discovery of a Runic Stone on Edge Lane.
Shortly after the VOICE‟s delivery began the office phone began to ring, one caller wanted to know whether “His DLA would be affected” another wanted to relocate outside the “Danish Zone” and pleaded to know the limit of the new boundaries. Finally one caller wanted to know how this would affect the wheelie bin collection.
BBC Radio Merseyside also did an outside broadcast and interviewed Professor Cornelius Markham and Dr Nils Lofgren world renown Viking experts, live on Holt Road outside the temporary Danish Embassy. A week later one local resident turned up at 53 Holt Rd with four passport photos and a birth certificate, and wanted to know how to get the passport. We were also emailed by Local resident Paul Taylor Hello, Just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent April's Fool joke. You catch the missus out every year with these. I have to gently remind her that it's very close to April :) We‟re glad at least one half of the Taylor household were able to suss the story was of course our annual Aprils fools hoax and was in fact a load of old Danish. We apologise profoundly to any people who believed the story and a big thank you to everyone who said it put a smile on their faces and also it is a constant reminder to never believe everything you read in the papers, after all the story was a load of old Danish Nossers!

Many readers will have seen the recent reports in the local press regarding the difficulties facing the Kensington Regeneration Community Interest Company,
just as we were going to print we received this letter from a local resident;
Dear Editor, Recently the Echo has been carrying a story about the, apparent, imminent collapse of ’Kensington Community Interest Company’, the company charged with ‘picking up the pieces’ of Kensington Regenerations effort. My main concern is ‘why now?’. Very little interest was shown in the previous 10 years to Kensington Regenerations frittering away of a very deprived communities resources. Yes our local MP’s ‘ummed and arred’ as the regens’ overheads spiralled out of control, with more and more council staff offloaded on to the pay role, many of which was hidden in the overall costs of programs. Does Kensington Regenerations last major capital spend ‘Jubilee Park’ with it’s half a dozen benches, raised flower beds and one football pitch look like £900,000 worth, please, pull the other one it’s got bells on! There were successes funded by Kensington Regeneration but these were run by professionals, such as The Kensington Police Team and our Community Wardens. Since Kensington Regeneration finished, Kensington Community Interest Company have continued in the same ‘top heavy’ way with less than 10% of the funding filtering through to the wider community, are the residents of Kensington really surprised? What we have to be careful of is that this is not being manipulated to deny the residents the agreed funding, £200,000 per year for the next 9 years. We have a very cash strapped council here, but it is not the residents of Kensington that are responsible for their underfunding, it is the current coalition governments fault. The residents of Kensington should not be seen as an easy target, Liverpool City Council must meet it’s funding obligations in full. One last thought on the C.I.C Chairman’s statement regarding ‘people trying to run them down because of their link to Kensington Regeneration’ there’s an old saying that ‘if you lie with dogs don’t be surprised to wake up with fleas!’ Yours, Bernie Hunt.
The VOiCE wonders in which „community‟ and in whose „interest‟ this „company‟ is working?

Cancer claims the lives of around 1,330 Liverpool residents every year, making it the city‟s biggest cause of death. Together, bowel, breast and lung cancer account for nearly half of Liverpool cancer deaths. But cancer doesn‟t have to be a death sentence – finding it early makes it easier to treat and improves survival rates. The NHS wants everyone in the city to be aware of some signs and
symptoms which you should get checked out by your GP. If you discover any of these symptoms then make an appointment – the likelihood is it won‟t be anything serious, but if a problem is found then by getting
treated sooner you‟ll be improving your chances of beating the disease.
Have you noticed any of the following? Bowel Cancer (for three weeks) Blood in your poo Looser poo Persistent change in bowel habit Abdominal discomfort Abdominal lump Breast Cancer Lump in your breast Skin dimpling/puckering Discharge from your nipple
Lung Cancer (for three weeks) Persistent cough A change in a cough Unexplained shortness of breath Liverpool GP, Dr Steve Connolly, said: “There are many reasons why people might not report changes in their health to the doctor – sometimes they might not recognise the symptoms as being anything significant, or feel embarrassed talking about them, or think that they‟ll be wasting their GP‟s time. “Some people might also assume that if cancer is detected then there‟ll be nothing that can be done for them. But we know that diagnosing cancer sooner can save lives. For example, if found at the earliest stage, bowel cancer has a survival rate of more than 90% over five years, yet less than 10% of patients nationally are diagnosed this early. “Finding cancer sooner makes it more treatable and could save your life. If you experience any of the symptoms highlighted in the campaign then please speak to your GP – we want to see you!”

Simple! One reason, one idea! Put simply, one whole day of fantastic fun for all the family. The „Newsham Park Festival‟ is now in its sixth year. The first year in 2006 was an amiable attempt but considering the competition of Sefton Park and the Police Club on Prescot Road (amongst others) you could have argued that they had a cheek to call it a festival at all. Trying to invent family fun from a couple of stalls, a flimsy wooden stage and a tiny marquee must have been a daunting task to say the least. A bite to eat here and there as well as a few sports activities just wasn‟t going to cut it....and they knew it. They had to get the community on their side which could prove to be a tough nut to crack. It‟s All Academic The Academy of St. Francis of Assisi (ASFA) was built and opened to a mixed reception from the community. For that reason, the principal at the time, Jim Birkfield, came up with the idea of a „Festival‟ in the park, an idea which would bring members of the community together. A sort of „thank you‟ for the Academy project.
Born by the ASFA On approaching Lisa Heron (Community/Extended Schools Leader) the „Newsham Park Festival‟ was born. Lisa had meeting upon meeting with anyone she could think of to try and make the festival something that the community would be proud to be involved in and a part of. Invitations of feedback from the community came thick and fast. At one point Lisa talked about merging with the Kensington Regeneration run „Fun Day‟ at the Prescot Road Police Club but unfortunately it wasn‟t to be. Community groups like the housing associations and other agencies are
more than happy to be a part of the event. After all they are an integral part of how the community operates. X Factor I‟m sure Lisa hopes that word of mouth has also played a huge part in the growth of the festival. As the one and only Cheryl Cole would put it, „It‟s a
yes from me.‟ „From little acorns oak trees grow‟ so the saying goes, and we know from experience that any seed needs to be cultivated and nurtured with tenderness and care to enable it to bare the fruit we encourage. I‟m sure even Simon Cowell would vote 100%yes on that. As it stands in 2011, the festival has more than trebled in size. I know what you‟re going to say, „size doesn‟t matter‟, and I agree, (mostly) but quality does and quality is what you get at Newsham. This is a multi cultural arts and sports event with many other various activities vying for a place in the schedule.
Lisa and Vicky a winning team
In Newsham Park one sunny afternoon, the fun begins on 25th
June. Starting at 11 and end-ing at 4, you’ll have to drop in if you haven’t
before. Singers, dancers, birds
and dogs too, fun all arranged for your fam-
ily and you. Come to the park and
see all the sights, you’ll know soon enough
your choice was quite.......
Right!
“Ask not what fun does for you. Ask rather what you do for fun.”
Anon
Prozac-ed Imagine your child’s 6th or 7th birthday.
Apart from everything else they ask for, you know that they’ll want a sleepover or
something to that effect. You also know
that this takes co-ordination, precision
timing, communication, patience, authority, (consult sleepover guest list) a
first aid kit and expenses. (Sleeping
tablets, earplugs, valium, passport!)
Recall that image and times it by 500!
My hair hasn’t got enough curls to hold
that information in my head, and believe
me, if you get in there, there’s no getting out!
Especially Special The organisation of an event like this
takes a lot of doing, agreed? It also takes a lot of time, energy and faith.
It’s a job that takes dedication,
commitment and a genuine love for what you’re doing, it definitely takes a special
kind of person to fill a role as big as that,
not to mention the massive responsibility
which comes attached like a side order of salad.
Lisa Heron is all of the above and more,
her energy and commitment is without end
When it comes to the last few weeks, the
home run if you like, that’s when it
becomes really stressful. No matter how much you prepare at the last minute
there’s always something. You can have
all the check lists in the world but at the
end of the day you’re still running round like a headless chicken, you just can’t
think straight. It does stress you out but on
the day it’s such a buzz.
We arrive about 6:30am to get set up and
we’re here until around 6:30 - 7:00pm
cleaning up. It’s a long day.”
Compliance! Having already
seen off the ‘Royal Wedding’ this year,
we know that the
council can and do
wave their strict rules when the
occasion suits
them.
The lesser human
being however
(us), have to carry
on in the manner to which we are
accustomed. That
means RULES will
be applied and adhered to at all
times.
The application for a licence as well as the numerous documents to be filed, are just a
few items to be ticked on the check list.
One of the most important documents
in any event is health and safety
insurance and the council will be there
on the day to
check....GUARANTEED!!
Balancing Act One important factor to consider is getting
the balance right.
Something for the
little ones, the older
generation and everyone else who
falls in between.
This year its not all about fast food, Lisa
has planned an area to
have a sit down and
relax with a nice cup of tea and a slice of
cake as you watch the
local acts perform.
The hugely popular
‘dog training act’ is back this year and the
new ‘birds of prey’ are also on the list,
(hopefully not too close together.....fur & feathers!) as well as fudge, jewellery and
henna tattoo stalls.
KVfm radio will be broadcasting all the fun live on the internet, art and sporting
events, even the housing association will
be there giving away all kinds of freebies.
Weather or Whether Not Even if it persists in precipitating don’t
worry, Lisa has it covered. Not the park
obviously! Just in case the clouds do decide to burst there will be a stall selling
a supply of clear rain mac’s to help keep
you dry.
Luck? This event has been expertly organised
with skill, precision, efficiency, thought
and attention to detail. Let me know what YOU think when I see
you there.

Crowds enjoy last years festival
Having a lark in Newsham Park
Few people in the area realise that
during the 1900‟s our area used to
have a building called the Royal
Tournament Hall and Showground,
which existed on the site of the old
MPTE bus sheds, the old Plessey
factory and the art deco
Littlewoods building. The
magnificent venue sat some
15,000 spectators and was
officially opened by Queen Victoria,
to jubilant crowds. It sat more
people than the Echo Arena!
One night not so very long ago in the 1980‟s a
mate of mine Harry (not his real name) was
working the late shift as a security guard at the
Marconi plant on Edge Lane. It was Harry‟s job
every hour to patrol the site checking various
alarm systems and against any criminal entries to
the site. Marconi at that time were building a top
secret telephone system, System X, which
commercial competitors were extremely
interested in finding out information about the
system.
In the early hours of a November night, Harry had
just drank his umpteenth cup of tea and was
about to go out and start his last patrol. He put
his donkey jacket on picked up his walkie talkie
and torch and set off down the long covered
walkway at the side of the main building.
Everything seemed normal and all Harry had to
worry about was the bitter cold and staying alert.
As he passed the large double warehouse doors
at the bottom of the walkway, he noticed a light
shining through the gaps at the edge of the door,
on his last tour he was sure the light had not
been there, he also heard a “thump thump
thumping” sound of drums as though some
unknown individual was recreating tribal music on
the other side of the door. He cautiously pulled
the door open wide, to this day he is still unable
to explain the sight he saw in front of his own
eyes on that night.
Harry stepped gingerly through the doors, but
instead of the rows of stored telephone exchange
machinery he was expecting he was looking
across a vista of Victorian Liverpool, grimy
chimney pots belched sulphurous smoke into a
bright autumn sky, no cars, just horse drawn
vehicles of all shapes and sizes.
But more extraordinary than that was what he
saw in the foreground, camped out in the park in
front of him were several rows of Native
American tepees, with scores of Indians sitting
and standing around their campfires all dressed
in native buckskin clothing, in the middle distance
was the Arena with people sitting in rows of
seating and men and women
dressed as Cowboys.
Mesmerised he slowly walked
over to a group of of Native
Americans, “How” said the Indian
Chef, for it was Sitting Bull of the
Sioux tribe. Harry was
speechless… Sitting Bull took his
arm and led him over towards the
campfire, sitting him down, cross
legged he passed Harry a Pipe of
Peace and beckoned for him to
take a toke.
The stuff in that pipe nearly blew Harry‟s head
clean off, few people realise that raw tobacco
grown by Native Americans has highly
hallucinogenic properties, and quickly Harry‟s
head began to swim under the influence of the
narcotic.
As an Occasional Pot Smoker Harry was
beginning to feel right at home, but this state of
euphoria was not to last, for a gloved hand
clasped him on the shoulder and in a broad
Western American drawl and voice said, “There
ain‟t no time to sit „round chewin the fat with no
pesky red skins” and as Harry turned and stood
up he was confronted with an immediately
recognisable character from the old Wild
West….it was none other than Buffalo Bill, or to
give him real name William F.Cody, bedecked in
a handsome buckskin costume, cowboy hat, and
magnificent beard and hair. “Git over thar and get
the Custer Uniform on pretty sharpish the show‟s
about to begin, what the heck am I payin you
fer!”.
Royal Tournament Hall, Edge Lane
Buffallo Bill and Sitting Bull
Buffalo Bill had obviously mistaken Harry for the
actor who was playing George Armstrong Custer,
Harry tried to explain but was virtually frog
marched to the tent and once inside he did Bill‟s
bidding and got the costume and long blonde wig
on.
Before he knew it he had been ushered out and
was on the back of a horse wearing dual colt
revolvers on each hip, “Now get out there you
varmit and make a show of it”, said Bill slapping
Harry‟s horse soundly.
The Pony galloped off into large arena, in which
several dozen Indians and soldiers of 7thCavalry
were re-enacting the battle of the Little Big Horn.
Harry hung onto the horse for dear life, but had
no idea what to do, but fortunately the horse had
other ideas and ran around the arena.
Joining with the action, the cavalry men were
quickly herded into the centre and as the Harry
dismounted and began firing his gun wildly,
luckily the gun was loaded with blanks, Harry
began enjoying this experience and began to
throw himself into his historical role with gusto,
but suddenly Harry felt a sharp pain in his knee
and he fell to the floor off his horse in a feint.
The next thing he knew he was coming too in the
accident and emergency department of the Royal
back in the 20th century. What was even more
peculiar was the fact that Harry was laying on a
trolley with….an arrow in his knee, for his fellow
workmate, Arthur had found Harry lying wounded
outside of the warehouse gates, with the arrow
firmly stuck in his patella. Harry could not explain
how the “accident” had happened apart from the
groggy recollections of his involvement in the
Custer enactment in Victorian Liverpool he did
not have a logical explanation for his injuries.
Harry has now lost use of his knee and is living
off higher rate Disability Living Allowance with a
mobility component somewhere in the
Kensington and Fairfield area.
There is no logical explanation for this event, was
it real or was Harry having some drug induced
hallucination, (he did have history of cannabis
abuse after all) or was it a huge rent in the fabric
of space and time, had Harry wandered
accidentally through a “timeslip” on Edge Lane.
The great Western impresario Buffalo Bill Cody
did come to Liverpool with his Wild West
show and they did give many performances at
the old tournament ground off Edge Lane. All
Harry has as proof of his experience is a
damaged knee, the arrow which he was able to
keep as a souvenir and this x-ray evidence.
As we all know Timeslips are well documented
phenomenon and this is probably a manifestation
of such an event, what is much rarer is when
people actually bring objects back from the past
into the present.

Lane or anywhere else in my patch then email

Sometimes the question asked about reviewers in all fields is “They may be able to dish it out but can they take it?” Well in this VOiCE the Mystery Scoffer puts his piny on gets busy in the kitchen. Well dear readers, in the 1970‟s for almost three months when I worked undercover as a female pastry cook in a large Istanbul Hotel for Mosad (the Israeli Secret Service),as well as having to learn Turkish in less than five days I also had to learn the secrets of making the “Sigara Borek” Meze (or starter). Now I am reliving those heady transgendered days for you. Sigara Borek or cheese rolls are served up at the start of a Turkish meal and are consumed with a variety of other small dishes and sauces (humous, tatsiki, taramasalata, esme, mancer), before the Ottoman main feast. The main problem about making them yourself has always been getting the correct filo pastry, but thanks to the new L7 Village Market on Laurel Road, help and all the ingredients are at hand.
Ingredients, Enough to make 24 Sigaras Pack of filo Pasty (triangular pieces of pastry) £1.99 2 blocks of Beyaz Peyna (white Turkish cheese like Greek Feta) £ £3.98 Finely Chopped Parsley (about 1 oz or a palm sized amount) A Large free range egg Bottle of fizzy water. Method: In a bowl break break up the cheese, add the chopped parsley and the egg, stir and mix. Then add a small amount of the fizzy water, and mix in, add more a little bit at a time, until the cheese mixture is creamy, the consistency of thick yoghurt. Lay out a sheet of filo, and put a large teaspoon of the cheese/parsley mixture in a thin even line near the wide end of the piece of pastry leaving a space either side, fold the left and right edges in and then begin to roll the filo tightly and finally glue the triangular tip with a spot of water to glue the roll together. Make all 24 rolls and then heat up some vegetable oil in either a deep frying pan or a deep fat fryer. When the oil is good and hot put the rolls into the oil four or five at a time, cook until
golden brown (about one or two minutes or so but use your judgement) take out and drain on some kitchen roll. Sigara can be eaten hot or cold and can be
prepared in advance of a meal, they are
great barbeque food and should be served
with other Mezeler or as snack on their
own. If you make 24 this means the
sigaras cost a measley 33p each, but
beware they are addictive, Alhasmaladik!

So Dear Readers, Kenny and Max (and the VOICE plus the local Councillors) seem to have had a profound effect in reducing the anti social act of Dog Fouling in
the area. Keep up the Good Work Folks. But what about all this excessive drinking on the Streets of Kenny? Maybe we don‟t need so many places selling cheap
brain and liver rotting beers and ciders at ridiculously low prices? If you have any ideas about what the Council or the Government should be doing about this mas-
sive and growing problem in our midst then send your ideas to the VOiCE email [email protected] we‟ll present a couple of cans of Skol Super to the best idea.
