FOREWORD

Written by Lorna M. SEWELL
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We've been as busy as ever during the last month. However, the UK Border Agency has very recently stopped dispersing asylum seekers to Plymouth and this will be reflected in the number of new cases arriving at the Centre. Nevertheless, although a welcome easing of the work load it is likely to be a short-lived measure.
This month will see a number of changes in our operations. We'll be able to expand our services to cater for their ever-present demand and this will need careful planning in terms of accommodation and recruitment of volunteers. The future looks bright, and with the enthusiasm and team spirit which has always prevailed in DCRS, we shall deal with all the challenges.
Refugee Week, in which we are deeply involved, takes place from Monday, 14th to Sunday, 20th June. On Friday 18th June we're hosting our open day at the Centre, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and we hope that many people will come through our doors to see the actual premises where we offer our services. At the end of the open day we will be holding our Annual General Meeting at the Centre.
We're all absolutely delighted to hear that Geoff READ, our Newsletter Editor, has been awarded the Plymouth Herald & First, the travel company, monthly Gold Star award. This award is made every month and is given to the most outstanding volunteer in different fields. In March next year there will be a ceremony at which all the monthly award winners will receive their awards. Geoff has worked with us tirelessly. He brought our Food Programme up-to-date with an efficient organisation and
record-keeping, as Food Programme Coordinator, a post he has recently handed over to Christine REID.
He is our Newsletter Editor, compiling a wealth of information and news into it. He also carries out presentations with Christine REID to all sorts of groups and organisations, to improve the awareness raising with the public. He's also involved in most of the activities in DCRS, including the presentation of statistics. All this is done despite severe health problems which he is coping with magnificently. Well done Geoff!
I thank all our Staff and Volunteers for their hard work and hope that our bright future will bring its reward in a sense of achievement brought about by the dedication and team spirit of us all.
Arnold MELHUISH
Vice Chair of the DCRS Board of Trustees

As no letters have been received this month I thought I would let you ponder of this: As the Chinese philosopher Lao TZU said:

APTIST UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN.
As reported in the May edition of our Newsletter, this Assembly adopted DCRS as their chosen local charity, and those attending were asked to bring items of clothing, food or toiletries as donations. This was the first time this had been carried out by the organisers and they certainly did us proud!The DCRS Display Stand was amongst the others that filled up the Ice Skating Arena and was manned by our Staff and Volunteers. Our Volunteers and Service Users also took a turn at the Donations Drop-off Point outside the Plymouth Pavilions.
We wish to thank the organisers for choosing DCRS; it has certainly helped us and it also made visitors aware of what we are doing in our City to help Asylum Seekers and Refugees.
It also gave callers to our Display Stand a better understanding of what DCRS is all about, and even made people aware that – Yes! We do have Asylum Seekers here in the far South West!
Thanks once again to all that took part and helped. And a special note of thanks to Trish BAXTER for setting-up and dressing our display.

For those who do not wish to be involved with the Display Stand... we do hope you'll turn up on the evening anyway just to come and take a look!

EFUGEES VOLUNTEER GEOFF WINS GOLD STAR.
This article was published in The Herald on Tuesday, 18th May 2010:KEYHAM man who was so touched by the plight of refugees in the Middle East he volunteered to aid their efforts,
is the latest winner of a Gold Star award.Geoff READ is the latest winner of one of the awards which are presented each month by The Herald and travel company First.
Geoff was working in Saudi Arabia in 1990 with British Aerospace when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
He saw first-hand the horrors of conflict as countless displaced people fled the war, taking shelter in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
Several years later, after helping to set up a private security firm in Baghdad, he returned to Plymouth and began volunteering for the Devon & Cornwall Refugee Support group, which is based at Whimple Street.
What makes Geoff's efforts even more remarkable is the fact he has continued to volunteer despite suffering aggressive cancer.
The cancer was removed from his throat in January last year. He also had his voice box taken out.
The radiotherapy and chemotherapy affects his oesophagus and he has a monthly operation to enable him to breathe and talk.
He talks through a speaking valve and believes Derriford Hospital saved his life.
But despite his personal problems, he is more concerned with helping others.
"I saw how they were treated; the refugees trying to escape certain dangers," said Geoff, who also spent 24 years in the Army earlier in his life.
"It was terrible for them. A lot of them came here to Plymouth, especially the Kurds. I have some feeling for them. Regardless of your political opinion and belief, these people are still human beings and should be regarded as such.

"It is not their fault the Government of the day allows them to be in this country.
"I am not a particularly religious guy but after all, they are human beings."
Having returned to the UK and Plymouth in 2005, such was Geoff' feelings for the refugees he decided to volunteer for the DCRS.
He began by helping to supervise the Reception Desk and the Internet Suite and later became the Food Programme Coordinator delivering parcels to the poor.
He then became a Coopted member of the DCRS Board and now, five years on, he's still volunteering as much of his time as he can.
The 61-year-old, said news that he was due to receive a Gold Star award was a "complete shock".
He was nominated by another DCRS volunteer, who oversees its website from their home in Bangkok, Thailand. "It was a complete shock because I had actually nominated someone else," he said. "I work as part of a team so I will accept it on behalf of that team."

ISIT OF THE REFUGEE SUPPORT GROUP (RSG) DEVON. On Wednesday, 26th May we had a visit from Annette HUGHES and Emma MARSHALL from the Refugee Support Group(Devon), based at Exeter. Geoff READ and Christine REID had visited RSG recently and this was a return visit. Our Centre was very busy (the 26th being one of our Drop-in Days) so they could see for themselves how many Service Users we help on an average day. It's good to exchange views and experiences with other Asylum Seeker & Refugee organisations...we can learn a lot from each other!If you wish to know more about RSG (Devon), please visit: http://www.rsgdevon.org.uk/.

ONTHLY UPDATE. We're very pleased to announce that we have two Service Users currently attending an eight-week course at the TR2. This course is Dare to be Different.The Barbican Theatre recently invited eight Service Users to a discussion about making a film on How & Why they want to be here. The discussion was very successful but we are now awaiting further funding for this very worthwhile project.
Finally, on Tuesday, 1st June 2010 we've managed to arrange a very special visit to the Lord Mayor's Parlour for about 12 - 15 Service Users. This is a unique opportunity for us and we hope to provide a report on this for the July edition of our Newsletter.

ONTHLY UPDATE. "No different to last month" was the request from the May Volunteers' Meeting. In other words, we still need donations of duvets and duvet covers, etc., and kitchen stuff too. But please, nothing else for the moment! We hope that by the end of June we will be able to take in donations of clothing, etc., once again.
John JEBB is coordinating the reorganisation of the Clothing store and has been installing new shelves and the sorting is progressing well.
We are still looking for someone to volunteer as our Clothing Store Coordinator. Could YOU do it? Please speak to Liz at the Centre.

ONTHLY UPDATE.Baptist Annual Assembly. We were unloading bags, crates, boxes by the dozen! What was in them? Food and Toiletries! These were the result of the kind donations received from those attending the Baptist Annual Assembly held at the Plymouth Pavilions at the beginning of May. The dried and non-perishable goods have certainly helped us to give our Service Users that little bit extra variation.
Food Parcels. We have continued to issue these and the demand for them is on the increase once again. At the moment our purchases of foodstuffs are being contained within the budget, but please, we're still in need of your regular donations!
Toiletries. Our stocks of Toiletries have been built up substantially as a result of the donations received from the Baptist Assembly. So we're not in any desperate need for Toiletries although we'll always have room for Men's Shower Gel, Deodorants and Body Sprays.

UCUMBERS: WHO KNEW? Yet another wonder cure that is not made from chemicals (if it works that is).
1.Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2.Feeling tired in the afternoon? Put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3.Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4.Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminium to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5.Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemical in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!
6.Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!
7.Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8.Have an important meeting or job interview and you realise that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.
9.Ran out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila! ... the squeak is gone!
10.Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
11.Just finished a business lunch and realise you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12.Looking for a 'green' way to clean your taps, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.
13.Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing. It also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!

OOD PROGRAMME BROCHURES. We've recently updated our brochure to include the funding logo of the National Lottery. This new brochure can be downloaded directly from our website at: http://dcrsc1.cfsites.org/. If you don't have access to a computer just contact Geoff (contact details below) and he will send you a copy so you can photocopy it. It would be useful if you could all forward these new brochures on to the Editors of Church Magazines, or display them on Notice Boards. The brochures are designed to be printed off back-to-back and then folded into three columns. We currently have the brochures in English and Chinese; if anyone can assist us in translating into other languages then we should be ever so grateful!

OOD TIP OF THE MONTH. Should You Keep Potatoes in the Fridge?Question: I always store my potatoes in the pantry, but a relative says they'll keep fresher in the refrigerator. Is that true?
Answer: The refrigerator is not the best place for your potatoes. As the United States Potato Board notes, refrigeration can cause potatoes to darken during cooking and to develop an unpleasantly sweet taste. The reason is that the chilly environment of the fridge helps to convert the potato's starch to sugar.
If you store your potatoes in the pantry, on the other hand, you won't have that problem. At normal room temperatures, they'll keep for about one to two weeks, as noted here.
Better yet, if you can find a storage area with a temperature of about 45° to 55° F, your spuds should last up to three months.

OAST SPICED CHICKEN WITH INDIAN STYLE GRAVY. This classic British dish has been
given a delicious spicy twist with Patak's authentic Balti Paste. It tastes sublime. This is a wonderful (and really simple) way to spice up your Sunday lunch. 
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 3 tablespoons Patak's Balti Paste
• 1 clove finely chopped Garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped coriander
• 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely crushed
• 1.5 – 2kg ( 3lb 6oz – 4lb 8oz ) whole chicken
• 1 medium, quartered onion
• 1 sliced carrot
• 1 sliced celery stick
• 4 tablespoons vegetable Oil
• 1 lemon. quartered
For The Indian Style Gravy:
• 600 ml (1 pint) chicken stock
• 2 tablespoon plain flour
• 1 tablespoon Patak’s Balti Paste
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
Method
1.Mix together the butter, Patak's Balti Paste, garlic, coriander and black pepper in a bowl. Rub the chicken inside and out with the spiced marinade. For a more intense flavour, carefully loosen the skin and rub the marinade onto the breast of the chicken as well. Cover and refrigerate the marinated chicken for two hours or even overnight.
2.Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5. Place the onions, carrots and celery in a large roasting tin and toss in the vegetable oil. Stuff the lemon into the cavity of the chicken and place on top of the vegetables.
3.Cover with foil and roast for 20 minutes per 500g + 20 minutes. Remove the foil for the final 30 minutes of cooking time so the chicken is golden, the juices will run clear when the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the roasting tray and rest.
4.Place the roasting dish on the hob on a medium heat. Once the onions begin to sizzle skim any fat on the surface. Stir in the flour and cook for two minutes. Slowly whisk in the hot chicken stock, making sure there are no lumps. Add the Patak's Balti Paste and continue to cook until the gravy has thickened. Check the seasoning. Serve the roast spiced chicken with plenty of Indian style gravy.
Enjoy! For this and other superb recipes please visit:

Very little to report this month. David FEINDUNO has stepped down from being the Internet Suite Coordinator as he has found that he has too much else to do. Very many thanks to him for all he does - he still remains a volunteer! We've not yet appointed a new Internet Suite Coordinator but hope to do so in the next few weeks. The regular volunteer Internet Supervisors report that things remain busy in the Suite.Volunteers; Many thanks to the students who've helped us over the last months as most have now left for holidays etc, we wish them all well.
