Next residents’ council

meeting

Tuesday, October 1st,

2013 at 19:00 in the GH-

basement

Mold! The pest that everyone is so afraid of. Several rooms raised awareness at the

last residents’ council meeting that they had been exposed to the mold in their rooms.

As a response to this, the council urged all residents to speak to their representatives

regarding their own situations, so we can get a better picture of the problem’s severi-

ty. Read more on page 2

Operation kitchen renovation has

now been going on for several years,

and now, we are nearing the end. If

your kitchen has not yet been reno-

vated, or if you are just curious

about what the old kitchens looked

like, take a look inside to find dates

and pictures. Page 2

KælderCafeen is closing down tem-

porarily because of a floor renovati-

on. The bar expects to open again on

October 25th. They would also like

to let you know that they need more

bartenders to help out. Read more

about it all inside.

Mold in your room? At the residents’ council meeting in

September, the conversation once

again touched on the subject of

mold at the dormitory. This time,

the ST-block were telling the rest of

the dormitory about their problems.

Mold is not exactly news at the dor-

mitory. We are placed in a moist

environment, close to the lakes, and

the old buildingd are far from opti-

mal with regards to the indoor cli-

mate. The dormitory has gone

through a number of renovations

throughout the years and one of

these included the installation of

new, tight fitting windows. Since

these windows were installed, a lot

of energy has been saved on heat-

ing, but the problem with mold has

risen significantly.

At the latest residents’ council

meeting, residents were urged to go

home and talk to their respective

hallways and apartments about

whether or not they experience

problems with mold. This is all to

form a better picture of how big of a

problem we are dealing with. If you

believe you have any kind of mold

in your room, please speak with

your representative about it, so we

can gain a better view of the prob-

lem.

What if there is mold?

Often when we yell mold, we are

actually just dealing with mildew—

which of course also has a negative

effect on the indoor climate, but is

not as damaging as mold. If a mold

occurence is to be considered of such

a degree that it is dangerous and

needs to be treated, it should cover

an area of around 3 square meters.

Smaller areas should not be ne-

glected, however. According to your

lease contract, it is your duty as a

tennant to inform your landlord of

an occurence of mold when you no-

tice it. You should speak to Lars Kaj

who can help you through the ensu-

ing process, which typically calls for

a treatment of Rodalon or a similar

product.

In order to avoid mold, it is impor-

tant that you do not let your room

become too cold. It is also important

that you ventilate the room thor-

oughly. If possible, you should venti-

late 3 times daily!

Jakob, R-52

At last, NybroTidende can bring the

news that the kitchen renovatinos

ARE on their way to EVERYONE!

Many have probably already for-

got what the old kitchens looked

like. Soon everyone will have

that luxury. Before 2014, everyo-

ne will have white cupboards and

plastered walls.

Around 3 years ago, the kitchen reno-

vation at Nybrogård began. Through

the years, more and more kitchens

have had their yellow bricks replaced

by white walls, received new cup-

boards, etc. But not all of them yet. It

is therefore with pleasure we an-

nounce that before 2014, all kitchens

at Nybrogård will have received the

‘new’ look.

-Election of a new treasurer. A new

treasurer is needed for the NYK and

network accounts. The current trea-

surer is leaving because of long term

illness. The job is paid and set to

around 4-5 hours per month. The job

entails taking care of salary pay-

ments, withdrawal of money for

NYK’s clubs, the yearly financial re-

port and obligatory participation in

the residents’ council meetings.

Alexander L-17 chosen unanimously

6) Announcements

Solar panels

New person is needed to be respon-

sible for this because of lack of free

time—no one is chosen.

Bagge L17 and Alexander G28 – The

proposal is to appoint both to the po-

sition. No objections—chosen unani-

mously.

It is noted that the member fee pro-

blem is looked into, since many do not

pay. Deadlines and consequences are

an option.

b) New chairman for the Cinema

Club

A new chairman is needed for the

Cinema Club, since the current chair-

man is leaving the dormitory. Jonas

Høj, G24 is volunteering for the posi-

tion – other interested resi-dents are

also welcome. Because Jonas is not

present, he can not be elected—no

one is chosen—the chairman will look

into this.

c) New residents’ council chair-

man

Since the current chairman is leav-

ing the dormitory, a new is needed to

fill the position. The job entails kee-

ping an overview of the resi-dents’

council ‘stasks and follow up on the-

se, as well as making urgent decisi-

ons on behalf of the residents’ coun-

cil. The new chairman must be found

within the representatives of the

council. The job is for 1-1,5 hours per

month.

Thomas, C5 is chosen unanimously.

workshop

Since the former chairman no longer

lives at the dormitory, a new is nee-

ded.

Kristoffer L10 unanimously chosen.

9) Inauguration of new council mem-

bers and alternates, including infor-

mation of council members leaving

the residents' council

Thomas is chosen for CDG. Emine is

CD-odd. Ea is the new representati-

ve.

Troels changes from EF-even to CD-

even.

10) Other

- Board member in KælderCaféen

The chairman will appoint a tempo-

rary board member to KælderCaféen.

The member will function as inter-

mediary between the café and the

residents’ council.

Ea is chosen for the position.This will

be approved at the next meeting.

-Mold in ST-odd

There have been complaints about

mold in the rooms in ST-odd. As ten-

nant, you are obligated to report this

problem to the landlord, and then the

operations department will take care

of it. The board will decide whether

mechanical ventilation is a possibili-

ty. This requires that we are dealing

with a real problem and it will be

discussed at the next meeting.

The representatives will discuss the

problem with their hallways.

PAGE 4 NYBROTIDENDE VOLUME 40. NO. 7

- KælderCaféen has stopped letting

residents borrow the café. There are

not enough bartenders for these

events. A proposal is made to lock

down the bar area and remove the

need for personnel—the renter must

be responsible for cleaning up. It is

noted that such a decision should be

discussed in the residents’ council

before being made. This will be ad-

ded as an item for the next meeting.

Thomas will e-mail the details of

this decision.

11) Date for next meeting

The meeting is set for October 1st,

2013 in the GH-basement

Any cancellations must be submit-

ted at www.nybro.dk > Residents’

Council > Cancel at least one day

before the meeting.

Temporarily

closing the bar!

The dormitory’s Friday bar, Kæl-

derCaféen is closing down from

the end of September until Octo-

ber 25th. This is due to an

outstanding floor renovation, which

after being installed will have to

settle and temper. The new surface

of the floor will be made of epoxy

which has a reputation for being

both durable and long lasting.

As mentioned, the first opening will

be October 25th, where work is

being done to make something big

out of it. If this does not make it

on the schedule for the re-opening

night, it will definitely happen in

the month after.

Municipal election in Gladsaxe 40% by 2020 because I demanded a

quick revision of the plan.

Why are you even running?

I am running to ensure that the city

council continues working with as much

possible solidarity and sustainability in

mind. Primarily older people are mem-

bers of the various councils, so it is also

important to maintain a certain degree

of age difference, so all generations are

heard. I think it is very exciting to work

with these issues. I have always had a

netural interest in society and local com-

munity especially. This goes over well

with my education where i study poli-

tics, administration and geography.

Why should we vote for your party?

Because a strong Socialist People’s

Party is needed to ensure that the mu-

nicipality continues to focus on the best

possible service for its citizens. To make

sure we do not outsource to private com-

panies whose top priority is profit. And

to ansure that the environmental

agenda is not forgotten again. It was

nonexistent 4 years ago and the Social-

ist People’s Party has a very big interest

in keeping our municipality in the front

seat, where we are now. The Socialist

People’s Party is a stable partner who is

willing to compromise when it makes

sense to do so. This is where we differ

somewhat from our friends in the Red-

Green Alliance (Enhedslisten).

I can understand if people are dissatis-

fied with the Socialist People’s Party’s

work on a national level, but that is not

connected with our efforts locally, where

we have fought and won many victories.

So, remember the municipal election on

November 19th, where you can also be a

part of changing the future for both

yourselves and others!

Emma, S-24

In November, Gladsaxe city council and

the regional council for the capital re-

gion are having elections. 25 members

will be elected for the city council and

41 members will be elected for the re-

gional council.

You are probably thinking ‘why do I

need to know that? Do I even want to

read this article—it is an article on

local politics? It does not matter

whether I vote or not. And is it not

enough that I vote at the parliament

election?’

Thomas Monberg is running for the city

council as a representative of the So-

cialist People’s Party (SF), and we ahve

asked him some of the same questions.

Why should we even vote?

Because the number of young voters is

extremely low. It is actually a little

embarrasing. At the election in 2009,

less than half of the young people be-

tween 19 and 21 in Copenhagen voted.

And even more importantly; because

what is happening in the municipality

affects us young people. The problem

with unemployment of young people is

solved in the municipalities, the busses

that bring you to and from school, in-

cluding the bus to DTU, the rights of

the rowers on Bagsværd lake, cultural

activities and exciting projects that

newly educated engineers can partici-

pate in is all decided in the municipal-

ity.

Have you ever gotten a proposal

through?

Yes! A venue for young people is one of

me and my party’s biggest victories. We

have received DKK 30 million to estab-

lish it, and I really think it can turn

Gladsaxe’s cultural potential up a

notch.

We have fought long and hard to estab-

lish an eco-lane from Lundtofte to

Ishøj, which will benefit many DTU

students. I am very active environmen-

tally and also contributed to raising the

goal for CO2 emissions from 25% to

8) Inward correspondence

A) ST is having trouble with

noise from the day care. The day

care uses the area outside the win-

dows of the ST block and this is an

inconvenience for the residents. What

is the arrangement with the day

care? Can it be changed? Many people

use the path along the kitchen. The

possibility of putting up a sign noting

that the path is private should be

explored, because guests look in win-

dows and walk their dogs without

leash etc.

B) The Canoe Club is applying for

DKK 6,700 for repairs and main-

tenance. Application for DKK 6,700

to repair the two red kayaks and new

paddles since a number of them have

been broken due to them being mis-

used.

C) The Canoe Club is applying for

DKK 10,000 to deepen the area

around the jetty. With a new jetty,

we are closer to making sure that the

canoers and kayakers can use the

equipment without it getting dam-

aged from regular use. But there is a

problem with the water depth around

the bridge. DKK 10,000 is needed to

deepen the area. 0,5-1 meter will be

removed over a length of 5 meters on

either side of the jetty.

D) The Cake Festival is applying

for DKK 309 to cover expenses.

The Cake Festival will be held again

this fall and the committee is apply-

ing for the expenses to be covered.

See appendix 1.

E) Application for money to

deepen the area around the jetty.

F) New chairman for the Cinema

Club. A new chairman for the Cin-

ema Club is needed since the previ-

ous chairman is moving from the dor-

mitory. Jonas Høj is volunteering—

others interested are welcome.

G) Board member in KælderCa-

féen. At the last meeting, the chair-

man appointed a temporary board

member to KælderCaféen. The mem-

ber must now be officially inaugu-

rated or a new member chosen.

H) Mold in ST-odd. There have

been complaints of mold in the rooms

in ST-odd. The representatives give

feedback on the severity of the prob-

lem as decided at the last meeting.

I) KælderCaféen stopped letting

residents borrow the facilities—

without involving the residents’

council. KælderCaféenøs manage-

ment board has stopped letting resi-

dents borrow the facilities. There are

not enough bartenders to attend

New winds blow on F.C. Nybro

A month ago, we reported that the

football teams had finally started the

season after a long summer break.

Now we can tell you that the fall sea-

son is almost over. Because of the

summer break’s skewed placement

in the calendar, the fall season is

alway smuch shorter than the spring

season, since the evening sun is al-

ready starting to disappear.

In the past month, both teams have

played two matches each, while the

men have 3 matches to go and the

ladies have 2.

The men’s team’s first match was

against Egmont, the league’s runner

up, who usually play in the top part

of the league each year. That is also

the case this year, but against all

odds, Nybro was very much in the

game until the last ten minutes of

the match. After an unlucky goal

early in the game, the opponents we-

re kept in check for a long time.

Shortly before the break, however,

Egmont scored again to 0-2.

The men set off the second half much

better, and already in the first two

minutes, two good attempts were

made at goal—one of them even hit

the post. The chock was evident in

the Egmont team, who no longer

created the same flow up the pitch.

Nybrogård would later close the gap

between them, when Marius alone

against the keeper made it 1-2 with

20 minutes to go. After this, how-

ever, disaster struck. A yellow card

and a tired crew could not keep up in

the end, which gave Egmont 3 easy

goals, towards the final result of 1-5.

The men’s second match was can-

celled a few days before it was sup-

posed to take place because it would

not be possible for the team to as-

semble on the given day.

The ladies have done a little better

than the men, although they did

have a rough start. Away against

Nordic, they hoped to bring home a

point after the 4-4 result earlier in

the season. However, the opponents

were simply too good on the day and

a player for the opposing team even

managed to jest the guests. All in all

the result was a beating of 0-8,

which, however, does not fairly rep-

resent the plays and chances created

throughout the match.

Also the ladies second match was

cancelled—however, this was due to

the opposing team not being able to

assemble their team on the day of

the match. That gave the ladies 3

points, which was enough to put

them in 3rd pace—next to RJK in

second.

The big talk between the teams,

however, has not been the porr re-

sults. The managers for both teams,

Gabriel B-62 and Jennie L-14 have

both announced that they are leav-

ing their duties as managers after

this season. That leaves the question

of who will become leader of the

teams in the coming season open. No

one has volunteered for either team

yet. The men are looking at a group-

manager option where several play-

ers share the responsibility as man-

ager, since no single person has been

willing to do it alone.

Both teams could use more players

from the dormitory since they have

both experienced using players from

outside to be able to assemble their

teams. This is such a big problem

with the ladies that they are consid-

ering creating a merged team with

POP, who are experiencing the same

problem with their ladies’ team.

Since practice and matches are or-

ganized in the same locations for

both dormitories, the process of coor-

dinating schedules would be the

least of their worries.

About me

My name is Nanna D. Thomsen, I study nutriti-

on and health and have resided in the dorm for

about a year. Recently I took over the position as

chairman of the garden group.

Furthermore I have a passion for food and raw

goods from nature. From this passion comes the

idea for this column.

Hope you will enjoy this column.

Enjoy the food! NybroTidende food column:

This month:

Beet and garlic soup

I can not help myself from returning to the inspiration

from last month’s column. I have found another recipe

from the fantastic cook book I bought during the sum-

mer break. I keep finding great recipes in this book,

and this one is an option that provides a delicious,

inexpensive and seasonal dinner.

The recipe is for beet and garlic soup. Many of you

might furrow your brow and be discouraged by the

large quantity of beets, but try the recipe anyway, the-

re is a good chance you might be surprised.

Soup for 2 people

200g parsnips or parsley root

150g red beets

1 tbsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Rosemary

1/2 garlic bulb (do not peel the cloves—the bulb

will be baked in the oven)

6 dl. vegetable bouillon

1 tbsp. Lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Peel the parsnips and beets and cut them into smaller

pieces. Turn them in oil on a baking sheet with baking pa-

per together with rosemary, salt and pepper.

Rinse the garlic and cut it with one slice through all the

cloves. Place the two halves with the cut edge facing down

on the baking sheet.

Bake the vegetables in one layer at 175 C in a convection

oven for around 45 minutes until they are golden and ten-

der. You can flip them halfway through if you like.

Put the baked vegetables in a pot with buillon and let it

simmer under a lid for around 20 minutes. Blend the soup

with a stick blender or a food processor. Add some more

buillon to get the consistency you want. Add lemon juice,

salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the soup with bread or different toppings.

Topping with beans, fried rye bread and mozzarella

A handful fresh or defrosted beans are boiled shortly in

lightly salted water.

Dice a few slices of rye bread and fry them in chopped gar-

lic and olive oil in a pan. When the bread is crispy, add the

beans and let it fry for a moment. Take it off the heat and

place a plate on top. Add the mozarella just before serving.

Topping with parsley and bacon

Many would, if they had the choice, reserve an entire shelf

in their refrigerator just for bacon, so this ingredient is dif-

ficult for me to disregard in the topping. Fry bacon in a

pan, break it into small pieces and mix it with chopped

parsley—and mozarella if you like.

Enjoy

Enjoy!

I probably can not

avoid posting a small

picture of the mentio-

ned cookbook. The

authors are Sonja Bock

and Tina Scheftelowitz.

Th book is a collection

of recipes that they

have published in ear-

lier works—so there is

no doubt that they are

the best of the best.

Elysium

Neill Bomkamp has yet again cre-

ated a successful science fiction

film. This time by the name of Ely-

sium.

Elysium takes place in the year

2154 where just two classes exist:

The extremely wealthy who live in

luxury on a space station called

Elysium and everyone else who

lives on the overpopulated and ru-

ined Earth.

People on the surface are desperate

to escape to the space station, to get

away from the crime and poverty,

and many of them need the care of

facilities at the modern hospitals of

Elysium. At Elysium, life is quite

different and there are many who

would do anything to stop the im-

migration so they can maintain

their luxurious lifestyles.

The film plays on the contrasts and

it is evident that besides making a

film, Neill Blomkamp would also

like to get a message across.

In the beginning of the film, we are

quickly introduced to a child on Earth

named Max. He lives in what seems to

be a delapidated monastery with some

nuns. Here, we learn how the world

works and take a look at the overly

luxurious life that is lived in Elysium.

In the next scene, the boy is grown and

on his way to work. As he trudges

along, we see some ships flying over-

head. But our protagonist will just be

riding a regular bus—and there is a

long line to get on it. As he is standing

in line, spot checks are being con-

ducted by what look like robots with

the text “Policia” on their chest. Their

behavior is reminiscent of violent

prison guards and it gives the impres-

sion that people on the surface are

looked upon as nothing more than a

resource or pest that has no signifi-

cance to the people of Elysium.

But the world is not completely with-

out hope, and Max gets the opportu-

nity to do something about it. This

plays out in a well constructed plan

and staggering action as he attempts

to open the gates to Elysium.

As always with Neill Blomkamp,

the film is not all about action and

science fiction, as it also reflects a

reality from our own world. In this

case, it is the difference between

rich and poor, and that poverty is

actually a product of greed and ex-

treme wealth. The poverty is mostly

in focus, since we do not get ac-

quainted with the residents of Ely-

sium, beyond seeing how miserable

the lives on Earth are.

All in all, the film is beautifully

executed with plenty of speciel ef-

fects that outweigh the actors’

failed attempts—though they play

their parts fine—at making their

characters interesting. While the

more or less political motives can be

overlooked, most will probably no-

tice them and in some cases dis-

agree. This means that Elysium

earns 3,5/5 stars.

Reviews at NybroTidende!

As a new feature at NybroTidende, we will now bring reviews of

especially movies, but also fiction in the gazette. No movie or book

is too poor to be reviewed, as long as you believe that others may

benefit from the review. If you, for instance, think that there’s a

movie worth seeing, then by all means send a review of it to the

editorial staff at NybroTidende. We also accept more ”critical” re-

views, of course.

There are no specific rules regarding the reviews here at Ny-

broTidende, so there is plenty of room for your own personal style

of writing, but it’s obviously important to argue properly for your

point of view.
