FIND OUT HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

O

n page 8 you can read about the Southwater Responders, who along with a group of fund-raisers, partners and technical experts, succeeded in installing, or relocating, six Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) around Southwater during 2018.

When care is provided within five to seven minutes with a defibrillator, survival rates can improve dramatically. Using a defibrillator on an individual in cardiac arrest increases his survival rate by 60 percent according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Southwater Responders set out to increase the availability of CPR and PADs in the village so as to enhance the likelihood of Southwater residents surviving a cardiac arrest. However, even when PADs are available there is often a

lack of confidence about usage amongst the public with many people concerned they may do more harm than good by intervening, or that they don’t feel qualified to use a defibrillator. To address these concerns, Southwater Responders have also been delivering familiarisation sessions for village residents on how to use a defibrillator and provide basic life support until the arrival of paramedics.

Southwater Community First Responders are planning more public awareness sessions in the near future so why not find out more by calling Pauline Flores-Moore on 077 0274 3776 and find out how to save someone’s life.

DEFIBRILLATOR TRAINING FOR LOCALS

Phone Box Defibrillator.

D

uring 2018 Southwater Responders, along with a group of fund-raisers, partners and technical experts, succeeded in installing, or relocating, six Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) around Southwater.

The latest UK data suggests that around 60,000 people a year experience an out-ofhospital cardiac arrest and the current survival rate is less than 10%. The vast majority of these occur in the home but about 20% occur in public places and it is clear that early intervention is a critical factor in determining the outcome of a cardiac arrest. ‘Early intervention’ in a public place typically means bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and, when appropriate, the use of a defibrillator pending the arrival of paramedics.

Southwater Responders set out to increase the availability of CPR and PADs in the village so as to enhance the likelihood of Southwater residents surviving a cardiac arrest.

However, even when PADs are available there is often a lack of confidence about usage amongst the public with many people concerned they may do more harm than good by intervening, or that they don’t feel qualified to use a defibrillator. To address these concerns, Southwater Responders have also been delivering familiarisation sessions for village residents on how to use a

CPR demonstration and training.

defibrillator and provide basic life support until the arrival of paramedics.

Nick Dowling, a Southwater Responder who has been delivering the awareness sessions, is keen to dispel some of the myths surrounding public intervention and the use of defibrillators. “I am regularly asked about whether qualifications are needed to use a defibrillator, but the way modern defibrillators are designed means anyone can use them confidently as they give clear instructions to follow and will never administer a shock unless appropriate.

Four public awareness sessions have been completed to date with plans for further sessions in the near future.

Southwater Community First Responders are volunteers who provide immediate care to those in their community who have fallen ill.

They are dispatched by the ambulance service and are trained to attend emergency calls and give life-saving care in the minutes up to when the ambulance arrives. For clarification or further information please contact: Pauline Flores-Moore, Team Leader 077 0274 3776 or Nick Dowling, Defibs for Southwater Project Lead on 077 2302 9103.

LOCAL AUTHOR JOHN SNELLING

A MEDICINE MAKER COMES TO TOWN

I

t was in April 1934 that local estate agent King and Chasemore put up a parcel of land for sale at Horsham Town Hall, advertised as ‘ripe for factory or building development’. There were 19 acres that ran alongside Parsonage Road, currently let out to Mr W.J. Standing as a market garden. The Swiss chemical firm of CIBA had bought a Manchester dyestuffs company in 1911 and had set up a small subsidiary pharmaceutical department in south-east London shortly afterwards. (In those pioneering days dyestuffs businesses were the midwife to the pharmaceutical industry since they usually started from the same basic chemical ingredients.)

The young business flourished, and by 1934 the management had ideas of moving out of London and building a brand new factory to make their medicines and to do everything else on one site. It turned out to be a wise move, as six years later the London premises were fire-bombed to the ground. As a desirable location Horsham had plenty of competition, and the managers considered umpteen other sites including Sidcup, Maidstone, St. Mary Cray and Welwyn. The factory would need a good water supply, road and rail links. The company took out an option to purchase the Horsham land but it wasn’t until 1937 that a 250-foot borehole proved beyond doubt that water supply would be no problem.

In April 1938 the first contracts for the driveway and the two entrance lodges were signed with London architects O’Donoghue and Halfhide of Upper Grosvenor Street. The high specification of the driveway alone astonished everyone, one man asserting that it was as good or better than the main road to London. This gave a clue that CIBA had already set a gold-standard of quality for whatever they were to build at Horsham. Logically enough, the two roadside lodges were designated Buildings 1 and 2. But it was the all-purpose edifice itself with its central tower, echoing Giles

12

APRIL 2019

Novartis withdrew from Horsham in 2014 eventually leaving only the art deco building standing.

Gilbert Scott’s Cambridge Library of 1934 and ever to be known as Building 3, of course, that took the breath away and over the years has become recognized as an art deco jewel to rival anything in that style anywhere else in the country.

The staircase within the impressive central tower was illuminated from outside by glass bricks, while inside it the great bronze and glass chandelier is another classic piece of art deco design. The whole of the interior is clad in beautiful Travertine stone from quarries near Rome, and the supporting pillars faced in contrasting richly veined dark and polished marbles. The tower also served a practical purpose, since it originally concealed a chimney which took smoke from the boilers in the basement. Coal or coke delivered to the company’s railway siding was fed by an underground conveyor straight into the boiler room beneath the entrance hall, where a visitor might just detect a slight rumbling when the conveyor was working. During wartime the tower made a great look-out, and in daylight the firm’s commissionaire would go to the top to spot enemy aircraft, to warn the staff and then put out a flag so that a watcher at Collyer’s School a couple of fields away could also pick up his danger signal.

The building, not quite finished as war broke out in 1939, was still echoing to the operatic arias

LOCAL AUTHOR JOHN SNELLING

of Italian craftsmen laying the floors, while back in London the heat was on, and CIBA managed to hire a greengrocer’s van to cart their finished medicines down to Horsham at £2.50 a trip. Only the two lodges were complete, so a handful of Londoners struggled to squeeze the packing cases into their tiny space.

Soon the great building itself was ready and it was here that manufacturing in Horsham began.

On the ground floor they started producing pharmaceutical chemicals, a process that in 1951 was transferred to a new factory that the Horsham staff set up near Grimsby. The first floor of Building 3 was devoted to making and packaging a variety of medicines, while everything else, including an elegant boardroomcum-library, occupied the top floor. During the war a secret Army convoy sometimes drove up in the dead of night to collect medical supplies for use by the Allies on the world’s battlefields.

Over the years the manufacturing and storage facilities at Horsham were expanded many times over by CIBA and then by Ciba-Geigy. The first biochemical research unit was opened on the site in May1965 and others followed, lastly under the management of Novartis, the name the company adopted after Ciba-Geigy had been joined by a third great Swiss pharma company, Sandoz. So as the world changes so the pages keep turning, often illuminated by the light of great achievement, sometimes stained with tears, and always with the hope of better things ahead. Mr Standing’s market garden had come an awfully long way since it was just growing cabbages.

ARTIST CAPTURES THE BEAUTY OF CHURCHES War artist captures the beauty of ancient Sussex churches

St Nicolas Church and Priest House, Itchingfield.

A

fter 15 years of painting wars brought about by religious conflict, award winning war artist Gordon Rushmer has turned his brush and palette to capture the exquisite beauty of ancient churches of West Sussex and Horsham District in particular. From detailed observation used to record the minutiae of conflict, from recording the right type of kit worn by soldiers, Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaze has turned to record the exact poise of the angel at Boxgrove, or wall plaster at Hardham. The stunning new exhibition Accents on the landscape: Ancient Churches of West Sussex

18

APRIL 2019

at Horsham Museum & Art Gallery is not an exercise in replication, but of seeing the churches and their landscape through the eyes of an award winning watercolour artist whose work is held in collections around the world.

The exhibition, which opens on 30 March, is a remarkable record; three years in the planning and painting. In visiting the churches, imbibing their charm and creating the essence of what makes them special, Gordon Rushmer has created a remarkable work of art that is a wonderful record of the ancient churches of West Sussex. His

ARTIST CAPTURES THE BEAUTY OF LOCAL CHURCHES

watercolours will encourage you to explore familiar places anew, whilst also revealing the known unknowns; those places you knew about, but never visited. To act as a guide there is a stunning book published to coincide with this exhibition, using the voice of the artist to reveal what drew him to these special places.

The exhibition Accents on the landscape: Ancient Churches of West Sussex includes unusual views of the majestic Chichester Cathedral to the nude paintings in Hardham, lying just south of Pulborough, to portraits of windows that reflect the sun bursting through, highlighting the mellow stone and patina of age on oak pews. Such images are complemented by the age-worn stone of headstones and graves as they populate the churchyard and add poignancy to the watercolours.

The new temporary exhibition is part of Horsham District Council’s Year of Culture programme at Horsham Museum & Art Gallery. Gordon Rushmer’s stunning exhibition is part of a tradition, spanning 250 years, of recording the historic churches, first commenced by William Burrell of West Grinstead who employed the Swiss artist Grimm. His watercolours are now in the British Library and seen as one of the outstanding pictorial records of 18th century Britain. The quality of Gordon Rushmer’s paintings stand in comparison.

Some of Grimm’s watercolours became fine copperplate images in leather bound books.

Today, thanks to modern technology, the public, if not able to buy one of the original works of art, can buy a beautifully produced book, illustrating all of the paintings in this amazing exhibition. The book will be available to purchase from 30 March from Horsham Museum & Art Gallery and will be priced at £12.50.

S P I N A C H A N D F E TA F R I T TATA Serves 4-6 Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 15 minutes INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) 1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped (about 1 teaspoon) 1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flatleaved parsley or basil.

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 10 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup milk 3/4 cup (about 3.5 ounces) crumbled feta

METHOD

P

reheat the grill. Heat olive oil in an 8-inch pan over a medium high heat. Add chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes beginning to soften. Add garlic and continue to cook for a further two minutes until softened.

Add spinach and parsley (or basil) and cook, tossing often until spinach is fully wilted and any water released by the spinach has cooked off. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk

22

APRIL 2019

with a whisk until mixed together. Don't overbeat. Add feta, and season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over spinach then gently stir with a spatula to release the spinach from the bottom of the pan so that the eggs are in direct contact with the surface of the pan, so they cook quickly.

Cook until the eggs are almost totally set (this takes 10-12 minutes), reducing heat to prevent burning. Place pan under the grill for a couple of minutes, until the top is set as well, keeping a close eye on it so it does not burn.

To release the frittata from the pan, loosen edges with a spatula. Place a dinner plate over pan, and holding plate firmly flip the pan over so the frittata releases onto the plate. Serve warm.

t Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice is calling on local schools, early years learning groups and community groups to get involved in an exciting, large scale art project while supporting their local hospice.

Eight schools have already signed up for St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Heart Project. This is part of the hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HeART to Heart trail, sponsored by Thakeham, which will give visitors a chance to follow a trail of giant hearts across Sussex and Surrey this summer. These hearts will be displayed in the areas St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provides people with expert end of life care.

And there's still chance for other local schools, early year learning groups and community groups to become a crucial part of the hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trail by joining the Young Hearts project.

The project involves school or groups customising a wire heart for display in local spaces such as libraries and shopping centres.

Their wire hearts will be displayed alongside larger heart sculptures. These sculptures have been uniquely designed by local artists and individually sponsored by local businesses and organisations.

Each wire heart has also been handmade by a local artist and designed to create a beautiful structure that encourages childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative freedom. There is also the opportunity for young people to take part in workshops with local artists.

Whyteleafe School in Tandridge, Surrey has already signed up to the project. Jenny Taylor, a Year 3 teacher at the school said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to take part in St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Heart Project and to design a heart for the trail. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a competition for the best designed heart and are looking forward to using our new art studio to give us inspiration. Our school council voted for St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as our charity for the year. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to holding

lots of fun events to help raise money for our local hospice.â&#x20AC;?

Abi Harley, Community Fundraiser at St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope lots of schools and groups will get involved in our exciting art trail.

To take part in Young Hearts, we ask your school or group to raise ÂŁ500 or more to for your mini heart. The money you raise will help us care for more terminally ill people and their family and friends in the future. And will help us make sure that in years to come, nobody in our community has to face death and loss alone.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Ready to open your heart? To sign up or for more information please contact Abi Harley, Community Fundraiser at St Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on 01293 447319 or email comfun@stch.org.uk Designs need to be completed by the end of May 2019.

£9.99

THE WARTIME ACCOUNT OF TWO BROTHERS

DAVID JAMES PARKER

“What a super read – this book is written from the author’s personal perspective following the lives of two local boys who paid the ultimate price for their country. David’s passion for history and more importantly, his passion for bringing to life the story of these two men is abundantly evident.

The story has a beautiful mix of local tales, historical facts and personal sentiment. The book is a must read for any budding historian. Although the book features a small town in West Sussex, the story is replayed in towns and cities across the country making it relatable to everyone regardless of age – my 11-year- old son was completely enthralled and loved it.”

MISSING

THE WARTIME ACCOUNT OF TWO BROTHERS

Missing is the story of two brothers lost in two different theatres of war – the story of two ordinary local lads and their extraordinary contribution to the war effort. Harry was a bomber command pilot in 1939–40. At a time when the fighter squadrons were rightly earning the gratitude of a nation, Harry and his colleagues were carrying out no less a service in their efforts to halt the advance of the German war machine across Europe. Harry carried out observation and bombing missions against army and navy targets in France and Norway. William, the older brother, had joined the Royal Artillery in 1930. After periods of duty in Aden and Hong Kong he was transferred to Singapore in 1939. When the Japanese launched their impossible attack on the jewel in Britain’s far eastern crown William was there waiting for them... but not from the direction they came... Hidden amongst the big stories of World War Two are countless smaller ones that are no less significant to those affected, but are easy for us to overlook.

A glass blower and a chemist in their civilian lives, William and Harry Warman were not close. They lived separate lives and fought in separate services but shared a similar fate. Under-equipped and under-prepared they faced two powerful enemies and paid the ultimate price.

M ISSI NG

MISSING

DAVID JAMES PARKER

A

new book about two brothers from Manning’s Heath has just been launched.

Written by David James Parker. It concerns the stories of Harry and William Warman. Harry was in the Royal Air Force, flying Bristol Blenheim bombers from the outbreak of the Second World War. A pre-war airman, having joined the RAF in 1936, he was flying operations over the North Sea on anti-shipping patrols, he took part in the Norway campaign, flying from Lossiemouth and finally operating over France and the Low Countries, covering the retreat to Dunkirk. Harry was shot down and killed on the 27th of May 1940.

William was a regular soldier, having joined the Royal Artillery in 1930. After serving in Hong Kong and Aden he was posted to Singapore in 1939. Captured at the fall of Singapore on the 15th of February 1942 and after a few months in prison camps on the island he was a member of a party of prisoners taken to Ballale as forced labour. With the Allies closing in and their work finished the Japanese killed the remainder of the prisoners, some having been killed in air raids and some dying of disease.

David has also mentioned other people who were involved in this story. Harry Jones the cousin of William and Harry Warman was born

34

APRIL 2019

in Southwater. He was killed in October 1939 when HMS Royal Oak was sunk in Scapa Flow.

At the time his family lived at Lorna Doone, Worthing Road which came under the postal address of Horsham, now Southwater. Harry was the first casualty Harry Jones. from Horsham in the Second World War. Due to the boundary changes Harry’s name was not placed on the Horsham War Memorial, this only happened in the 1990’s.

The author has researched this over a number of years meeting up with people that knew the brothers along with a couple of family members.

Not only is this a war story, it is very much a human story. David is a chimney sweep, working around the Horsham area. This is his first venture into writing, apart from a few magazine articles.

He has been interested in history from a young age. His interest was fuelled by the history teachers at Forest Boys School.

David‘s interest in these two brothers stems from being given Harry’s RAF mess tunic by Miss May Oakey, former teacher at Lower Beeding who had adopted Harry in the 1920’s. Fifteen years later he ended up with Harry’s medals and a discharge certificate which gave him the key to start unlocking the story.

David is also becoming known for giving talks about the First World War, Second World War Home Front and his life as a sweep.

Published by Redshank Books this can be ordered on line direct from Libri Publishing at www.libripublishing.co.uk. Also available from Horsham Museum. Priced £9.99.

hatever the weather, Spring has always been the time when thoughts turn to our homes and gardens. The DIY and gardening stores are beckoning, and before we know it we’ve bought some new electric tool and daubed paint from tester pots on a wall. Does creating a more sustainable home mean we shouldn’t be doing this?

Not at all. Change is a part of human nature and our homes and gardens should be places that nurture and refresh us.

To be more sustainable, we just need to think those changes through - we’ll probably save ourselves money too.

Here are our tips for a more sustainable Spring: 1) Plan before you buy or begin. So many home projects end up unfinished, causing stress and wasting materials, through lack of planning. Ask yourself these questions: • Do you have the skills and TIME to complete the project?

• Do you have a realistic budget and timeframe?

• Are you sure what’s the best order for the work you’re planning to do?

(Many local tradespeople are happy to work on projects where a homeowner is doing some of the work themselves and can advise on a sensible order.)

2) Don’t skimp on the quality of materials and tools. Good quality tools can last many years. Good quality materials will often give a better finished result and last longer.

36

APRIL 2019

3) Cut the chemicals. Environmental standards were tightened in the paint industry, but there are still some paints that are more eco friendly than others. Go for water based paints and varnishes wherever possible, and those which are low (or even zero) in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

As well as reducing the potentially harmful chemicals you and your family are breathing in, water based paints are much easier to clean up after use.

4) Re-use, repair, re-purpose. Some of the satisfying buzz that comes from a well executed DIY project is even better when you know you’ve saved something from ending up at the tip! Our grandparents and great grandparents wouldn’t have dreamt of just disposing of something that was a little broken. If you don’t think you have the skills, Horsham now has a monthly Horsham Repair Cafe, where volunteer repairers will help with repairs.

Recycling is fine, but it still takes energy and public funds to do. Re-use and re-purposing (finding a new use for something) is better. If you don’t need it, local Facebook groups are a great place for asking “can anyone make use of?”

Finally, spring is of course prime time in the garden. If you’ve never grown your own vegetables, why not give it a go this year?

You’d be amazed what even a few pots can hold.

ennel cough, or infectious tracheobronchitis, is a highly contagious airborne infection that results in inflammation of the windpipe and airways. Environments where dogs are in close proximity to one another predispose them to infection.

Kennel cough is caused by a combination of a bacterial infection called bordetella bronchiseptica and various viruses including canine parainfluenza virus and canine adenovirus type two. The incubation period can vary from two days to two weeks from the point of exposure, and symptoms include a persistent hacking or honking cough followed by retching, which can sound like your dog has something stuck in its throat. These symptoms usually resolve within one to three weeks although may last for up to six weeks. Dogs can be carriers of the infection for several months after the cough resolves.

The disease is usually self-limiting and most animals remain well other than the cough.

Puppies, elderly dogs and those with concurrent illnesses need to be monitored closely as occasionally the disease can develop into pneumonia.

A vet check is recommended if your dog is inappetant, lethargic, has any coloured nasal discharge or a productive cough. Treatment with cough suppressants and anti-inflammatories may be indicated and antibiotics in more severely affected cases.

Vaccination is available to prevent kennel cough and contains bordetella and parainfluenza administered as a spray into the nose. Check with your vet to see if your dog is covered, as not all practices include it in their routine annual vaccinations.

Business Tax

Tax Adept ACCOUNTANTS

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR MAKING TAX DIGITAL? Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT represents a significant change in policy for many VAT registered businesses. From 1 April 2019, MTD for VAT will be mandatory for businesses which have a taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold (currently £85,000).

Any business with a taxable turnover of £85,000 after 1 April 2019 must comply with MTD for VAT and must have appropriate digital software in place within 30 days. Taxable turnover does not include supplies that are exempt or outside the scope of VAT but does include zero rated supplies. Once a business has registered for MTD for VAT, it must stay in the system, even if its turnover subsequently falls below the registration threshold.

Businesses will remain in the system unless they deregister for VAT. Voluntarily-registered businesses currently below the registration threshold can elect to join MTD for VAT, but are not mandated to do so.

• businesses subject to an insolvency procedure • those who satisfy HMRC that, for reasons of age, disability, remoteness of location or any other reason, it is not reasonably practicable for them to keep business records or submit returns.

Certain businesses with ‘more complex requirements’ will be subject to a six-month deferral, and will not be required to use the MTD for VAT system until 1 October 2019.

The deferral applies to: not-for-profit organisations that are not set up as a company; trusts; VAT divisions; VAT groups; local authorities; public corporations; and traders based overseas. Public sector entities required to provide additional information on their VAT return, those who must make payments on account, and annual accounting scheme users are also covered by the deferral.

MTD will also apply to income tax but this is not expected to take effect until at least April 2020.

Software providers HMRC are not providing software for MTD for VAT. They do, however, list recognised products on the gov.uk site.

Digital records Under MTD for VAT, businesses will be required to keep certain records in a digital format, and must submit their VAT returns via an Application Programming Interface (API).

Records to be kept digitally include ‘designatory data’; the VAT account linking primary records and the VAT return; and information about supplies made and received.

Deferrals and exemptions HMRC recognises that certain taxpayers will be unable to comply with the MTD for VAT requirements. Exemptions are limited to: • businesses run by practising members of a religious society or order, with beliefs incompatible with the MTD for VAT regulations www.taxadept.co.uk

How we can help MTD for VAT represents a significant change in the way businesses complete and file their returns. Tax Adept can help you to understand the requirements, and will make sure you are compliant. Our website offers a wealth of information and advice on MTD for VAT: please visit www.taxadept.co.uk. Alternatively, please contact us on 01403 750046 for more information on how we can help you.
