Terror teens killed
Two teenagers were killed in joy ride crash after colliding into a crowded double decker school bus. A 14 year old driver and 13 year old passenger collided into the Oakmead school bus toady at 9.07am at the Lansdowne roundabout.
Forty-five year thirteen students were sent to hospital after suffering cuts and suspected fractures once the underage drivers collided with the Oakmead school bus.
Lansdowne roundabout has been closed causing standstill traffic. Fire man Bob Staten said “hopefully the roundabout will be reopened this afternoon pending police investigations.”
Fire brigade spokesman said “skid marks were found from the car collision which was most probably caused by the icy surface.”
Bus driver, Hugo Water-Print, 59 is in hospital suffering tinnitus, a broken leg and burns after leading children out of the bus. He said “the car came straight into me and when we crashed the steering wheel went straight into my chest.”
Dez Donhoe, superintendent argues “the crash was entirely down to the underage driver, the bus driver should be rewarded for his bravery.”
The bus driver said “I could hear kids screaming and I had to get them out of there.”
Head teacher of Oakmead School said “our bus driver is a fantastic bloke, he lead all pupils off the bus into safety when he himself was injured.”
It was supposed to be Hugo’s final day tomorrow before he retired but he will not be out of hospital until Friday.
The parents of one of the teenage boys were jetting off to Tenerife. They will be informed of the deaths by Spanish police when they arrive.
Phil Dring said “the incident shouldn’t have occurred; the usual bus was vandalized earlier that morning so a different bus was used. I’m so thankful that all the children are ok.”
Colleagues at Oakmead school are working hard to inform parents and keep the school in order, if you have any enquires please contact the school.

Built to perfection
Ann Hill, age 71 a widow from Windsor Road, Boscombe remembers a beautifully furnished dolls house being handed to her on a cold Christmas morning. Her sixth Christmas she recalls to have been a cold yet snowless day. The weather was the last thing on Ann’s mind as all her attention was given to the Christmas present that her father had made.
The house that in Ann’s words was “built to perfection” had two floors each of which were laced with a thin fabric, and a back door that was stencilled deeply into the wood.
Ann recollects her mother kneeling down next to her and telling her daughter what a lucky girl she was to have such a beautiful possession and that she must look after it.
Ann recalls little else regarding the day and imagines this to be down to her young mind’s fixation on a new toy.
Although Ann can look back on this memory and almost laugh at how much attention she gave to this simple wooden house, when she was six it seemed like the most magical and significant object she could or would ever own.

Ice glamour bought to Boscombe
Anti social behaviour to be pushed out of Boscombe this festive season as the Boscombe open air ice rink gained planning permission. The latest Boscombe attraction will open Saturday 22nd November 2008 and will not close until 22nd February.
The opera house and partners have been working closely with council officers over the last two months to bring this unique ice rink to Boscombe. Notoriously know to be a bad area the attraction will hopefully replace the ganged anti-social behaviour with families and children enjoying leisure in the festive season.
The outside rink will allow up to 100 skaters on the ice at anytime as council and local business predict a high volume of visitors to Boscombe this weekend.
Caroline Butler, urban centre management from neighbourhood management in Boscombe is “delighted” that the idea for the ice rink is becoming reality. She said “I see it as a positive opportunity to bring leisure to all the family.”
Caroline ButlerThe ice rink will be open up to 10pm each night which Butler doesn’t regard as a problem “Boscombe doesn’t suffer from violent gangs but from anti social gangs. It is boredom that causes such problems and the ice rink will work as a distraction. Any problems with drugs or antisocial ness will be put off by the bright lights and crowds caused by the rink.”
It is agreed by all involved that “businesses are very excited; the rink will attract new consumers to Boscombe high street.”

Winner writer
Rachel Nkere-Uwem knew she wanted to be a writer from the age of nine. Her “excellent and inspirational” English teacher and her mother already pursuing a career within the publishing industry influenced Rachel strongly.
Being a freelance journalist, Rachel said “it’s difficult to outline a normal day, as a factor and appeal of the job is it unpredictability.”
Whilst working as a editorial Co-ordinator for fashion magazine in Oxfordshire: Vanilla, Rachel said a day could involve interviews with local businesses, working on a fashion shoot or simply sitting in the office proof reading articles. Rachel believes this variety is what makes journalism so “free and liberating” not being stuck in the same place performing the same work as the day before.
A degree in French and English at King’s College in London instigated Rachel’s successful career sixteen years ago; from her first job working as a publishing graduate for Marie Claire to producing her own novel Rachel’s career has continually advanced.
Rachel is now a free lance writer earning £40,000 a year. She has certainly proven herself within the publishing industry.
According to Rachel “organization, preparation and inclusiveness are the core elements that build a successful reporter. Background information is essential in conducting successful interviews.”

Alcoholic smashes woman’s face
Alcoholic sentenced two years for smashing a woman’s face with a glass. Carl Stanley, 28 from Poole was sentenced for grievous bodily harm at 10am this morning by judge John Harrow at Crown court.
Stanley’s prosecutor; Stuart Elliot claimed that on 15th December 2008 Kim Hiscott, a nursery nurse saw drunk Stanley throw a drink at her friend. In defence Hiscott threw her drink at Stanley.
Hiscott received 25 stitches to her face after Stanley lashed out and threw his fist into her face with the glass in his hand. This attack caused three deep cuts to Hiscott’s face, one a centimetre long and the others two/three centimetres.
Hiscott has been left crying into the mirror and too afraid to leave her home.
Stanley had arrived at Yates’ bar after previously drinking 2 six-litre bottles of cider and one litre of vodka. Stanley continued with sambuka shoots in the bar.
Stanley was sentenced to two years imprisonment and three years on licence minus 36 days he spent on remand.
At the time of this offence Stanley was already on licence after a previous conviction of grievous bodily harm from an act in March 2004 after stabbing two men at Poole key.
In Stanley’s defence; Emma Southern addressed Stanley’s knowledge of his drink problem.
In Stanley’s offence he was drunk and unaware of what he did wrong. Stanley returned to Yates’ to face consequences of his actions where he was arrested.
Judge Harrow deemed Stanley a threat to the public and said “alcohol is his downfall.”

Who is facing the credit crunch?
Confidence in the UK’s economy is at an all time low. The housing markets are plummeting and food prices are rising. But who is this financial crisis affecting the most?
Elizabeth Bellamy Bank employee Julie Osbourne, 49 from Poole said ‘it is the twenty-fives and over that will suffer the most from the credit crunch. Anyone running a home.’ Elizabeth Bellamy, a forty-two year old shop assistant from Amesbury Park agreed. ‘Anyone who’s not in full time education, anyone who’s earning money. Parents the most.'
But student Esmerelda Koletski, 23 from Bournemouth, disagreed. ‘I think students will be the worst off. The credit crunch will make it tough for students to pay off their loans.’
Paul Wilkinson, 45, a contractor from London, offered an alternative view – ‘those with poor credit rates will suffer most as banks won’t be giving them loans or overdrafts at all.’
IT Technician Stephen Moore, 37 from Winton argues ‘people with outstanding debts are hit hard. The interest rates will send their debts soaring up.’
Frankie Stevenson, 18, a student from Bournemouth, and Alex Penge, also 18, a business student from South London, agreed that families with more responsibilities will feel the crunch. ‘They have more to pay, like mortgages,’ said Mr Penge. ‘Middle aged people are definitely worst off,’ agreed Ms Stevenson, ‘they have mortgages and bills to pay.’
Lynsey Lecocq, 20 from Wallisdown, offerd a different opinion. ‘It’s worst for first time buyers,’ she said. ‘The banks are refusing to give people mortgages; it’s so hard for people to get on the property ladder.’ Katie Moses, 18, a marketing student from Boscombe argued, ‘twenty-fives to thirty fives are more likely to have children and cars – bills that add up and cost a lot of money.’
But student Hum Quareshi, 26 from Charminster,
offerd a more rounded view. ‘I think it affects all age groups differently,’ he explained.. ‘Students will be denied overdrafts, professionals in the city can’t have their lavish lifestyles anymore. Social attitudes are going to change – with houses being repossessed, people are going to be stressed and unhappy, business regulations are going to get tougher; and this could cause conflict.’
