THE regular Govan Ferry service to the Riverside Museum is facing the chop less than two years after it was launched.
the publicity when the service was relaunched, this was meant to have people flocking from the city centre to Govan subway station and then walking down to catch the ferry. But that has never happened. The pontoon is tucked away in a corner behind houses and a car park with only one small sign pointing towards it. There was little advertising for the new Govan Ferry. Few people knew it was there. Id like to see local people get the chance to run this service, perhaps using the old ferries berthed next to the museum. The original Govan ferry ran for 230 years until 1966. Tourism bosses had hoped the revived service could help bring more visitors south of the river. After taking a trip on the new ferry in 2011 city council leader Gordon Matheson said: Im sure that the number of people who want to travel by ferry will ensure that it runs effectively. Nicola Sturgeon, the local MSP and Deputy First Minister, also campaigned for the service.
THIS is 11-year-old Lorne Street Primary School pupil Rahat Baig, who will next week be crowned Govan Fair Queen before she leads off the annual Fair Procession on Friday night, June 8. It will wend its way from Fairley Street, Ibrox, to Elder Park, Govan. FULL STORY: Page 5

MUSLIM leaders in Glasgow have called on all of the citys communities to unite against the forces of hatred following the horrific murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in London last week.
UNITY CALL: Worshippers at Glasgows Central Mosque heard imams call on all communities to oppose forces of hatred

summer
The strong, unequivocal messages of condemnation for the savage killing of Drummer Rigby, and support for his family, were heard by thousands of Muslims who attended Friday prayer services in Glasgow last week. The biggest gathering was at the Central Mosque in the Gorbals. A spokesman for the mosque said: This was a barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn it unreservedly. Our thoughts are with Drummer Lee Rigby and his family. We understand that the victim was a member of the Armed Forces. Muslims have long served in the countrys Armed Forces, proudly and with honour. This attack on a member of the Armed Forces is dishonourable, and no cause justifies this murder. He added: We respectfully advise Muslims and non-Muslims to obtain their knowledge of Islam from reputable sources and not rely on charlatans posing as scholars. This terrible murder in London
may heighten tensions on the streets of the United Kingdom. We call on all our communities, Muslim and non-Muslim, to come together in solidarity to ensure the forces of hatred do not prevail. It is important we allow our police authorities to do their job without speculation. We also urge the utmost vigilance and ask the police authorities to calm tensions. The strong message from Glasgows imams was praised by local MSP Humza Yousaf, who said the citys Muslim community stood as one to proclaim that the murder of Drummer Rigby was not in our name. He said: Communities of all faiths
have rightly come out to stand united in condemnation of the savage murder of Drummer Lee Rigby all our hearts go out to his wife, young son, family and friends. The vast majority of people here understand that these disgraceful actions have no place or justification in Islam. Unfortunately, there is a minority who will attempt to use this murder for their own extreme purposes as we have already seen with the EDL and BNP. Therefore I am pleased that the mosques in Glasgow are using their Friday prayer sermons to unequivocally condemn these attacks and express their solidarity with the community

GREEN PEACE: Artists view of how new hospice will look in Bellahouston Park
well for over 30 years. The new facility will enable us to extend our services in purpose-built facilities situated in stunning parkland surroundings. Once open, our new hospice will enable us for the first time to offer increased facilities for younger patients aged 15 and above, in surroundings that are appropriate for the age group. This includes increased privacy, with single rooms and family accommodation, as well as access to beautiful gardens and increased parking facilities. In addition, we will also be able to offer more flexible out-patient facilities, as well as extended education facilities. Our new hospice will allow us to host national and local training events. The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice provides free care for more than 1,000 adults and their families each year. Running costs are almost 5million, of which 3million has to come from fundraising and voluntary donations. Rhona added: Were very grateful to everyone helping us make our new hospice a reality for the people of Glasgow. (www.ppwh.org.uk)

GOVAN will pay homage to a right royal youngster next week when 11-yearold schoolgirl Rahat Baig is crowned Queen of the Fair.
Then Rahat will take pride of place on a horse-drawn carriage at the head of the Govan Fair Parade as it wends its way through the streets of the ancient burgh. She will be accompanied by her royal assistants, who are all her classmates at the school in Kinning Park. They are the 11-year-old pupils Eve Elliot, Billie Jo Leiper, Mark Wright, Mohammed Halane and Zartashia Hassan. This week Rahat spoke of her delight at being chosen as the new Govan Fair Queen. She explained that all the girls who wanted to be considered had to explain why theyd be suitable

for the historic position. Rahat said: We had to write a bit about ourselves and this was then read out without anyone knowing who had written it. All the pupils then voted for the one they thought was best. I said I was friendly, easy to get along with and good at writing creative stories. I was really delighted when I was picked. My family are even more happy than I am they have been telling everyone. Im really looking forward to being crowned and leading the Govan Fair Parade. Rahats Coronation will be held in the Victory Centre, Langlands Road, at 7pm next Friday. Glasgows oldest parade, with costumes, floats and bands, will then set off from Fairley Street at 7.45pm and head for Elder Park, via Govan Road. There will also be kids fairground rides, stalls and entertainment at Water Row. The following day, Saturday, June 8, Queen Rahat will attend the Govan Fair Fun Day in Elder Park, from 1pm to 5pm. The Fair dates back to 1756 when it was established by the Govan Weavers Society For more details log on to the website www.thegovanfair.org

RESIDENTS in the Laurieston area have embraced Gorbals Healthy Living Networks new Kitchen Waste and Glass Recycling Scheme, with more than 40 households signing up since the start of the year. As part of the project funded by the Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) through Keep Scotland Beautiful, organic waste such as fruit and veg peelings, egg shells, teabags and coffee grounds are being collected and deposited on a community compost heap and in a worm compost bin. On average, more than 40 kilograms of waste per week

GHLN will distribute free veg to those taking part as this will involve residents and volunteer with the full cycle of growing and harvesting. Norfolk Court residents are leading the way and a friendly rivalry has developed between the two tower blocks. GHLN has been running recycling, composting and gardening workshops. Three raised beds will be installed soon to enable residents to grow their own vegetables.
Bridgend Nursery, with a new orchard planted in the Oatlands. Residents in supported housing units run by Loretto in the Gorbals have been given help to create raised beds and plant vegetables. Evidence from community groups such as Bridging the Gap and the Carlton Day Centre have reinforced the desire to improve the local environment. And GHLN is keen to revamp derelict sites and develop green spaces while creating more opportunities for all to learn new skills, improve fitness and benefit from being outdoors. Funding from Keep Scotland Beautiful and the Peoples Health Trust has enabled derelict sites to be transformed into community growing spaces. Glasgow City Council and the Central Scotland Green Network have made it possible, through their Stalled Spaces programme, to continue to further develop the Citizens Garden. And thanks to CSV Action Earth Awards, local children can enjoy playing in the wildlife garden, which has tree-trunk stepping stones and a bug hotel.

THEY came, they saw, they got drenched. That, sadly, was the dismal tale of this years Southside Festival.
PLAYING ON: St Francis Pipe Band from the Gorbals led Southside Festival procession
And by the time the drummers, dancers, musicians and marchers had reached Queens Park Recreation Grounds, the rain was steady and demoralising. The procession included local children in fancy dress, St Francis Pipe Band from Gorbals, Urban Roots, a Hare Krishna group and old buses and fire engines. Defiant local councillor Archie Graham declared the sixth annual Southside Festival officially open and declared: It takes more than a few drops of rain to stop us. Were Glaswegians, we just get on with it. For a short while afterwards the performers did indeed get on with it. Young singers and actors from Theatre Ecole entertained the crowd who included Deputy
Picnic in the Park, performances by musicians and fairground rides for the children. With the rain staying off there was also the chance to wander along and see the displays of local groups and organisations in the tented area. The main stage was still surrounded by a sea of mud but that did not stop music fans crowding around to cheer and dance along to the music of former Squeeze star Glenn Tilbrook. Skababs and Bombskare also had festivalgoers bopping along as the weekend happily finished with smiles all round. Afterwards music co-ordinator Tam Balloch preferred to look on the bright side. He said: The heavy rain on Saturday caused some flooding and, with so many wires around, that could have been dangerous, so we had to take precaustions. But it also gave us a laugh at times, with plastic sharks and other stuff flying around backstage. Even with the wind and rain the stage crew and bands and all

the participants had a good time. Sunday was fantastic and the sun came out during Glenn Tilbrooks set on the main stage. Festival organisers admitted the poor weather had slashed the number of visitors to the event. Last year bright sunshine had encouraged more than 25,000 to attend on the Saturday alone. But this time round fewer than 2,000 had braved the torrential rain on the Saturday while around 5,000 visited the Queens Park Recs the following day. Southside Festival chairman Andrew Montgomery said: The one thing we couldnt control was the weather. But everyone took it in great spirits. While we were disappointed by the turnout its understandable that parents dont want to take their children to the park when its pouring with rain. But weather apart, it went great. Our volunteers can be very proud of putting on a great festival. Andrew admitted organisers may now have to look for extra funding in order to put on next years festival. He explained: Weve paid all our bills for this year but dont have a capital cushion to put towards the 2014 festival. So we will have to look at new revenue streams. Were considering requesting funding from Glasgow City Council. We are proud of the fact were a free event with very low prices for activities. Meanwhile the Southside Festival Fringe was voted a runaway success after dozens of gigs and performances in venues all over Shawlands, Battlefield, Queens Park and Strathbungo. Organisers promise next years event will be bigger and better.

to create Get info on new fire Help perfect rooms and police services
THE first of a series of events providing information about how the new national police and fire services will operate in Glasgow was held this week in the South Side.

The first information meeting, held on Tuesday in Cathcart Old Parish Church, was attended by Councillor Malcolm Cunning, Community Policing Inspector Taylor Grant, Castlemilk Fire Station Commander John Young, Joe Lambie of Glasgow Housing pass on their personal views to the Safe Glasgow Group by filling in a special questionnaire.

The busy takeaway outlet has been a distinctive landmark for many years for everyone in the Cardonald and Crookston areas. But recently Pizza Mario underwent a change of ownership, with Raj Singh taking over. And he soon decided that the best way to get local people to pop in and sample the quality of his food was to stage a special event in aid of charity. The end result is that next Wednesday, June 5, from 11am to 11pm, all suppers cooked fresh at Pizza Mario will be sold for only 1. Every penny of that will go to the Yorkhill Childrens Charity. Organisers believe they can raise more than 4,000 from the day, which will start at 11am and end at 11pm. Buy they are advising local people to expect queues outside the takeaway
Thats what an estimated 4,000 Southsiders will do next Wednesday at Pizza Mario on Crookston Road, at the Paisley Road West junction.
IT has to be the most delicious way to raise money for charity eating a fresh fish supper.

FAB ABS
non-surgical liposuction
inches, improve their muscle tone, flexibility and circulation which is why we use one of the best Vibration Machines on the market. Fitness Centre also offers non-surgical liposuction which also removes cellulite. The ultrasonic cavitation procedure works by creating a strong vibration that fat cell membranes cannot withstand. The fat cell then explodes into liquid content which then leaves the body through the normal channels of the bodys metabolism. As it is a non-surgical procedure there is no need for anaesthetic or time off work, and FAB ABS say it is an excellent way to remove fat that is difficult to shift through diet or exercise. Its the first anniversary of offering this treatment within the premises and due to the success of it and high client demand we have recently obtained
Roz Storey has had 8 treatments on her tummy costing 250. Roz Storey says
I lost an incredible 84.5 inches from my abdomen, I am delighted with the results. Last Year I paid 6,000 for liposuction and got better results at FAB ABS I would recommend anyone.

PRIMARY school pupils were treated to a stunning display of bike riding as part of the nationwide Give Me Cycle Space campaign.
HIGH FLYER: Pupils look on as a stunt cyclist jumps over a high bar at Crookfur roads in a real traffic environment, rather than in the playground. Banners have been put up on lampposts on routes to schools to reinforce the message to drivers. The Newton Mearns schools are the latest to get involved in safe cycling in East Renfrewshire eight schools have already been awarded Cycle Friendly School status and 10 primaries delivered the Bikeability Scotland on-road training in 2012. The Riderz team took time to chat to pupils about cycling and why its the best way to get to and from school. They also passed on safety tips. Council roads convener Tony Buchanan said: I am always pleased to see youngsters cycling to and from school or to our parks and sports centres. But they should feel safe on their bikes. Wearing protective helmets and bright clothing and reflectors can obviously help but we must remind drivers to give cyclists plenty of room when they pass them on the road.

Glasgow Housing Association is calling on tenants and factored homeowners to become the eyes and ears of their community as part of a new Safe and Sound campaign.
PEOPLE living in GHA communities are being urged to play a part in making their homes and streets safer.
NEWS EXTRA
Residents are being asked to report issues which blight communities and put lives at risk. They include: l late night parties l vandalism l street drinking l drug dealing l dog fouling l fire-raising l blocked fire exits. The campaign is the latest phase of a partnership between GHA, Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service known as the Community Improvement Partnership which was rolled out last year. GHA Chair Gordon Sloan said: We want all of our tenants and factored homeowners to feel safe in their homes and communities. The partnership between our
LAUNCH: Roseanna Cunningham and GHA Chair Gordon Sloan with Dave Boyle and Lewis Ramsay of Fire & Rescue housing staff and police and fire officers is already making a real difference to our communities. Now we are asking people in our areas to help us make their neighbourhoods even better. People shouldnt have to suffer in silence or put up with antisocial behaviour. Let us know and we can help. The Community Improvement Partnership has already resulted in 15 police officers and a station manager from the fire service being seconded to GHA to work side-by-side with housing staff on tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. Roseanna Cunningham, the Minister for Community Safety
and Legal Affairs, is backing the Safe and Sound campaign. She said: Anti-social behaviour can be a matter of real concern to people in our communities, and it is important it is acted upon. The Scottish Government is fully supportive of initiatives that tackle crime and improve safety, such as the Community Improvement Partnership. It is already working well in areas across Glasgow and the results offer great reassurance to people across the city. The Safe and Sound campaign will build on the good work already done by GHA, police and fire and rescue services. And I will be following the campaign with interest. As part of the campaign, tenants are also being urged to sign up for a free home fire safety visit. A firefighter will check the home for hazards and offer expert advice on how to reduce the risks of a fire in the home. Any customer who wants to report anti-social behaviour or a fire risk should speak to their Housing Officer or call 0800 561 5656. Callers can report any issues anonymously.

FISH SUPPERS CAN BE HEALTHY OPTION Give yourself a shake at the Criterion
The busy takeaway on Paisley Road West has long been renowned for the quality of its famous fish suppers.
THE popular Criterion chip shop in Cardonald is keeping its customers well fed and healthy.
But now the staff are letting regulars know that, contrary to what some think, their signature dish is actually better for us than most of its fast-food rivals. Research from the Seafish Industry body shows that fish and chips has a lot less fat than a pizza, burger with fries or, worst of all, a donner kebab. Everyones favourite supper also weighs in with 595 calories while a pizza has 871, burger and medium fries has 888 and a donner kebab has 942 calories.

The best SCOTTISH CRISPY HADDOCK & CHIPS and FRESHLY OVEN BAKED ITALIAN PIZZA on the Paisley Road West!! Try our Special Fish Suppers made with our sea-fresh haddock from sustainable sources!
good news for us, as I have always said that a fish supper is a nutritious meal. Now the takeaway has added another healthy product to its menu milkshakes. These are available from only 99p in strawberry, banana and chocolate flavour. Or for 1.40 the Criterions new milkshake machine (left) can create a sumptuous version using only whipped cream, with Sprinkles added for free. An ideal way for youngsters to increase the calcium in their diets and build stronger bones. The Criterion was recently awarded a certificate by the council to mark its high level of cleanliness and hygiene. This came after it passed an inspection from Glasgow City Council officials using a Food Standards Agency checklist. Stef said: Maintaining the
highest possible standards of hygiene and cleanliness has always been an important part of the Criterion philosophy. It is extra peace of mind for our customers. The Criterion makes the best fresh home-baked Italian pizzas in the South Side. Plus the most delicious Scottish crispy haddock and chips which attract customers from all over the city and beyond. The same family has been serving customers on Paisley Road West since 1925. They said: The people of Cardonald want quality and value. Something cheaper but of inferior quality wont do. We would never compromise our reputation and name by letting down the customers whom we have had the pleasure and privilege of serving for generations.
The right criterion for success taste quality at the right price...
