Business aid Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Maternity Rights Ian Wilson is senior partner of six-partner Brighton solicitors Dean Wilson Laing and specialises in employment law. He was a parttime chairman of the Employment Tribunals for nine years. He is also a board member of The Prince’s Trust (Sussex) and a board member of The Martlets Hospice.
she will receive 39 weeks statutory maternity pay. For the first six weeks statutory maternity pay is paid at the higher rate which is equivalent to 90% of the employee’s average weekly earnings calculated over the period of eight weeks. Shift allowances, overtime payments, bonuses and commission must all be included when calculating average earnings. The remaining 33 weeks are paid at the lower rate which is currently £117.18 but which will increase in April 09.
Q: I have heard there have been some recent changes in maternity rights. As a small employer I am concerned about the impact on my business. A: The main rights in respect of length of maternity leave and maternity pay have not changed. An employee is still entitled to take up to 52 weeks maternity leave during which, assuming she is entitled to it,
Q: So what has changed which may affect the running of my business? A: If your employee receives any benefits in kind such as life assurance, private medical insurance, permanent health insurance, private use of a company car, laptop, mobile telephone and gym membership, all these contractual benefits should not continue and contractual annual
leave entitlement will also continue to accrue. Q: What’s the position with annual leave if the employee still has days owed to her before commencing maternity leave? A: Employees should be encouraged to take any outstanding holiday leave due to them before commencing maternity leave and therefore if the holiday year is due to end during maternity leave, the employee should take the full year’s entitlement before commencing her maternity leave. Q: What about pension contributions? A: Pension contributions should continue to be made during the period when the employee is receiving statutory maternity pay but not during any period of unpaid maternity leave.
Q: Do employees have to take the full 52 weeks maternity leave? A: No, it’s a good idea to discuss with employees before they commence their maternity leave how many weeks they intend to take. Once that has been established you should write to the employee stating the date on which you will expect her to return to work. Q: What if she wants to change her return date? A: If any employee wants to change her return date she is required to give you eight weeks’ notice (preferably in writing). If she does not do so you are entitled to postpone her return to such a date as will give the company eight weeks’ notice provided that this is not later than the expected return date.

Swanning around Alison Swann considers the effect football can have even in our inclusive city
Sporting kicks I’m not going to pretend that I know much about football. I don’t. I know that Chelsea are blue, Manchester United are red and that Brighton’s local team are something to do with seagulls. Okay, I know a bit more than that, and I am prepared to go to the pub when there is a big game on as it can be exciting. I don’t really have a clue what the off-side rule is and, more to the point, I don’t really care. But I can appreciate skill and sportsmanship when it is on display, and I do sometimes like seeing grown men cry – call it my vengeful streak. But I don’t get the violence. It’s hardly a new thing to say: violence between football ‘tribes’ has been a sad feature of the game for many years now. But I don’t think it has the same reasoning – if there is such a thing – up and down the country. Last week a friend of mine was beaten unconscious outside a kebab shop in Brighton because of the football team he supports. The explosion of anger that two rival supporters had against one lone man for the support he showed for another team was shocking. This is Brighton. This city is famous for its inclusion and acceptance. But as many of us know that doesn’t discount brutality between different groups or against individuals.
Whenever I worry about such things, I think back to three years ago when I was living in Glasgow. That was one whole learning curve of football culture and tribalism that I got to grips with pretty damn quickly. My ex and I lived about five minutes from the Rangers ground in Ibrox. Nothing deliberate in that – it was cheap. Glasgow is a strange city. It’s sliced in two by a motorway. No wonder people are pissed off. You spend half your life on a flyover trying to get somewhere. And yes, it does rain 90 per cent of the time – thank God for the cheap beer. The motorway is quite useful in some respects as it keeps the Rangers and Celtic teams at a healthy enough distance from each other to prevent too much blood spillage on a regular basis. The other thing I didn’t realise, before I moved to Scotland, was the sectarian thrust to the famous antipathy between Rangers and Celtic. This is a predominantly Protestant versus Catholics game. Adding that extra Semtex of religion makes for a heady mix in an already explosive situation. I became quite fascinated by the Rangers ground. It is a stunning building – a mix of a listed red-brick industrial classic of 1920s Glasgow and a huge ‘80s revamp. This is all the more stark in contrast with the nearby rundown tenements blocks that seem to slide into the River Clyde on either side. On match days our ground floor flat shook with the roar of the crowd and we would go outside to walk past the ground during the match and absorb the power of the passion for the game. But we’d always make sure we were in before the game finished. We’d been warned there was only one thing worse than being a Celtic supporter – being English.
“Adding that extra Semtex of religion makes for a heady mix in an already explosive situation” We checked out the other side as well. Green is so not my colour, but I got down with the Celtic crew and headed over the motorway to the Celtic Park to hang out with the Hoops. I liked this side of the divide, whereas the Rangers fans seemed to bay and roar, the Celtic lot were full-on cliché-tastic, full of blarney and dodging off to pick up some ‘tabs‘ from the Barras. (It’s the best market I have ever been to, you can get anything there – and I mean anything. And you get to see the fat, red-faced man from the pink bath towel stall, standing proud in his black silky shirt, with a microphone Sellotaped to his head, looking like a reject from Steps shouting out the bargains of the day.) Much as I was intrigued by the huge cultural chasm between Celtic and Rangers, I was glad to leave it behind when I moved back to Brighton. The added bonus of not being afraid to sound English helped. When we arrived back, after a 12-hour journey packed into a Citroën Debut with two dogs balanced on our knees – oh, that was fun – I wandered off down Lewes Road to pick up some food and went to a kebab shop. Inside there were football fans of all persuasions having a laugh and toasting the success of England in a game that night. I was so relieved to leave the divisions of over the border. Shame I got reminded of it last week. My friend is going to be fine. Let’s hope it’s a one-off – Brighton should be better than that.

Dani’s diary
Sandra Omo examines why so many models previously waited on tables
Dani is cheered by the election of Barack Obama but annoyed by bad driving
Why are so many models waiters? This has become such a norm that whenever I see a successful model, I ask myself: “Was he or she ever a waiter?” And the answer is always ‘yes’. Yes in the early days when he or she was waiting for a breakthrough. It’s not just models who know what it is like to be waiters, as actors and dancers and other forms of entertainers take to waiting for the time being before they get their breakthrough. I know countless models, and I keep meeting more, who are into waiting in one bar or restaurant or the other. For me it’s easy to tell if the person putting my drink or food on the table is into what I do or not. I see it in the way they walk and talk, and even smile. The intention to impress, which is very important in modelling, is always there. For a normal diner, it’s just another polite waiter, but I know it’s another model waiting for a breakthrough.
“There is no way for you to do a nine-to-five job and still go after modelling – it’s impossible” As I mentioned earlier, I know so many models who are waiters. Even those who were not into waiting before they ventured into modelling have taken up waiting as their usual part-time job. And the thing is, I have found it common among models to work in bars and nightclubs rather than restaurants. And I think the reason for this is because of the informal attitude, coupled with the fast atmosphere associated with bars and nightclubs. I have had conversations with models who are waiters numerous times, and have come to understand that they all do this job for the same reasons. Having done it myself, I know it all comes down to the flexibility associated with working in the hospitality industry. Yes, I have worked as a waiter. In fact, I started working in bars when I was still at uni. When I graduated, I got a full-time job in my line of study. After one month of misery where I missed every audition and casting I was booked for, I quit the job and knew the only job I could do and still have time to pursue my modelling career was waiting! It is as simple as that. There is no way for you to do a nine-to-five job and still go after modelling – it’s impossible. People who have tried it have had to give up for one reason or another. It always comes down to what you like most. For me, it was clearly modelling. Holding a part-time job as a waiter gave me the opportunity to earn, and do what I wanted at the same time. Whenever I had a job or a casting call all I needed to do was call work and cancel my shift – simple. There were no ties or binding contracts, and I definitely had nothing to lose even when I quit jobs so I could travel for modelling jobs, because there were always numerous jobs available when I got back. I could pick up a job and drop it whenever I wanted without my modelling having to suffer in anyway. Now this was what I needed until I got my breakthrough, and it is exactly what countless models working as waiters out there need. So the next time you are in a bar or restaurant, the waiter serving may not just be another waiter, but an aspiring model who is smart enough to do this so that she can pay their bills while still pursuing their breakthrough. 8 latest 7
I am excited today. The odd thing is that I am excited about things of a political nature. That has never happened. This morning as I write we found out that Barack Obama is to be the new president of America. I am happy about this. To be perfectly honest I didn’t think it was going to happen – but for the first time since Christmas I woke up happy. I am not really into politics at the best of times but this election really got me going – as it did many other people I know. One person I know would turn any conversation regarding the election onto a subject slightly closer to her heart. That is the ‘Americanisation’ of us. Mainly the Americanisation of our language. And to a certain extent it is true. We are fast becoming a nation where our teenagers’ every other word is ‘like’. And, like, I like, don’t really, like, like it when, like, people say ‘like’, like, every other, like, word, like. But as we all know, this is not a column in which I complain on behalf of others, this is a column in which I complain about things that really irritate me. And although the fact that we now say stuff that (like, totally) doesn’t sound British, it is not necessarily one of my biggest pet peevs!
“I like, don’t really, like, like it when, like, people say ‘like’, like, every other, like, word, like” My pet peevs are as follows: • Drivers who don’t signal when turning corners. • All the massive 4x4s owned by the parents of the students at a certain posh school. • People who ask “How are you” but don’t actually want to know. • People who think it is okay to make you step into a busy road instead of moving their pram one iota to one side. • People who randomly stop walking in the middle of the street causing you to bash into the back of them and then have the cheek to huff at you. • People who huff. •The people who don’t notice that there is one queue for the two cashpoints and heads to stand behind the person at the cashpoint furthest from the queue. •People who don’t say thank you when you hold the door open for them. •Girls who wear so much make-up they look permanently orange. •When jeans ride down at the back when you sit down. •People who mumble or mumblers. •Ticking clocks. •Lifts that talk too much. •People who do not cover their mouth when they cough. It’s terrible but that is probably only a fraction of the things. You can see now why I am so grumpy all the time. All that stuff I said the other week about making the days go past stress-free without looking at the clock is all rubbish. The only thing I have been excited about in the past year has been seeing French and Saunders live and Barack Obama winning the election. Obama is not actually president until 20 January 2009 and so I will still be holding my breath. You never know, a ballot box may go missing!

Boy next door Will Young is the latest star to snap up a property in Brighton – it’s good to have good neighbours Singer Will Young has joined the growing list of singers in buying a house in Brighton. The star’s new neighbours will include recent incumbents James Morrison and Sandi Thom, and more long-term residents Fatboy Slim, Nick Cave, Gary Moore, Squeeze’s Chris Difford, the Kooks and Dollar’s David Van Day. “I’ve just bought a dilapidated house in the city. I’m restoring it to it’s former glory,” says Young, who beat Gareth Gates to the first Pop Idol title, and who spent much of last year in Brighton working on his recent album, Let It Go. “I love sitting on the beach with a notebook. It’s great for ideas for new songs. “But I’m also really into property now.” And to prove the point, he has also added a house in Cornwall to his growing portfolio. He uses the house in Dartmoor as a holiday home – and to also inspire him with his songwriting. The star has had a main home in West London just off Holland Park Avenue since 2003, but has recently splashed out on the

Hove factually Five fantastic facts you never knew about fantabulous hove 1 Hove is the only British town not mentioned in celebrated man of letters and travel writer Horace Walpole’s voluminous correspondence. Probably. 2 Silverdale Road is the Parma Violets capital of Britain. The average resident consumes over twice his own body weight in the perfume-scented confections every lunar month. 3 Hove has its own Large Hadron Collider, based at the research department of The Aldrington Institute of Quantum Mechanics and Plastering. Two men blowing hard down either end of a cardboard carpet inner roll accelerate particles to speeds upwards of 11mph. The project cost £27billion and is yet to yield results. 4 Hove University, established in 1322, boasts a long and distinguished roll call of chancellors, including Wallenstein, Alessandro Borgia, Percy Edwards, Grampa Munster, that Spanish actor who looked a bit like Robert Winston and was in Don’t Drink The Water and Auf Wiedersehen Pet II, Jesus Jones, the Count of Monte Cristo, Billy Ocean, Metternich, Grotbags, the Mighty Quinn, Humphrey Cushion, La Cicciolina and Mr Jinx. 5 Karaoke bars in Hove differ from all others in that the participants must play live backing to pre-recorded vocals.

★Finding truth in the stars★
This week Astral goes straight for your traits
Nick Cave solves all your relationship problems Dear Uncle Nick, My girlfriend wants me to go to this gig at the Brighton Centre with her, but I really don’t want to go. The idea of spending a couple of hours listening to the warblings of the sort of ponce she’s fond of makes me want to slam my head repeatedly in the door. Trouble is, I know she’ll be really offended if I cry off, and she’ll go on and on about how I never pay heed to what she wants to do, and how I think all her taste in music is awful, and how we’ve got so little in common we might as well split up. Should I just go and pretend to enjoy myself to prevent an argument, or is it better to be honest? Chris H, Brighton Uncle Nick says: Strewth! Listen mate, it’s the lot of a man to have to pretend to like a load of rubbish just to get some action. Art house films, documentaries about other countries, episodes of Desperate Housewives, world music concerts, cookery programmes – the list is endless. If you want my advice you’ll just go to see the bloody show, keep schtum, if asked say “Actually, I quite liked it“, and wait for the sweet, sweet loving to come your way. Heh heh. By the way, what group of galahs is it your Sheila actually wants you to go and see?
doubt. They’re on on the 23 November. Chris H, Brighton UNCLE NICK SAYS: Strewth! They sound rubbish! What a bunch of drongos! I bet they’re a lot of sad, 50-year-olds, still trying to look cool and dyeing their hair. Heh heh. What a load of losers! Rather you than me mate. Dear Uncle Nick, Hang on – I’ve got the ticket here. The name of the band is Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Chris H, Brighton UNCLE NICK SAYS: Oh. Ahem! I’d better be off… Er... Keep those letters flooding in.

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
Aries, you are usually courageous, energetic, competitive and pioneering. In fact a complete pain in the astrological firmament. Try to lighten up, some of us are trying to sleep.
Cancerians are usually sensitive, caring, nurturing and shrewd. Ideal then if you work in a home for the elderly and have a few unpaid bills that need attending too. Smile Cancer.
Artistic, poised, objective and charming, it all sounds good but read it differently and it says work shy. Busy doing nothing? Prove you’re not and break into a sweat.
Capricorn is careful, hardworking, disciplined and traditional. No prizes for seeing that all that adds up to dull, dull, dull. Maybe you can improve your stakes by developing the discipline bit.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taurus, you are usually loving, loyal and patient. Which can be summed up in one word, clingy. Get a life, break out and do something for yourself. Let someone cling to you for a change.
Usually you are generous, assertive, faithful and responsible. But do you get the impression that people think you are a pushy know-it-all? What do they know? Tell ‘em how it is.
Scorpio is passionate, dynamic, sensual and probing. So pity help anyone who has a headache if they are around. Scorpios must learn to take no for an answer.
Aquarians are independent, friendly, caring and inventive. That may be. They can also be arrogant, obstinate, infuriating, obtuse, contrary, argumentative, rude, snobbish…
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
You are usually quick-witted, curious, entertaining and open-minded. That’s putting it nicely, others may describe you as bloody nosy, a right old busy body. What’s it to be?
Virgo is organised, thorough, humane and thoughtful. Ideally suited to tidying up and filing then . What better gift can a Virgo give than the gift of a good sorting out.
Saggy old Sagis are intellectual, enthusiastic, tolerant and optimistic, no really, I found that on the internet so it must be true, they must just hide it really, really well.
The Piscean can intuitive, trusting, loving and creative. But you can also be gullible. Gullibility can easily be cured by adopting a diet of fish and chips. It works, really it does.

INTERVIEW
Patti Smith talks to Stephen Dalton exclusively about radiating youth and the film of her life showing during the Cinecity festival You can feel Patti Smith’s crackling energy before she even sits down to talk. All sharp angles and wiry energy, there is still something vaguely feral about this one-time Bohemian queen of New York’s downtown punk scene. Even at 61, beneath a ragged haystack of greying hair, Smith is bursting with ideas about art, poetry, politics and music. She seems less like a rock star than an untamed force of nature. “I don’t have an image of myself when I’m walking down the street as a rock star,” Smith says. “I’m a human being and a friend and a mom and a writer and an artist. I play electric guitar and all that, but I’m just a person. I don’t believe people playing rock’n’roll should have crowns. We’re not kings and queens. Rock’n’roll belongs to the people.” These are prolific times for Smith. She has recorded five studio albums and numerous collaborative projects since turning 50. Three years ago, she curated London’s prestigious Meltdown arts festival. Earlier this year, she released her Coral Sea collaboration with guitarist Kevin Shields, and hosted a major exhibition of her art at the Cartier Foundation in Paris. Meanwhile, in between writing songs for her next album, Smith is currently
promoting Steven Sebring’s remarkable monochrome documentary about her life and work, Dream of Life. The film is an impressionistic journey from the singer’s working-class roots in rural New Jersey, where she devoured William Blake and Arthur Rimbaud, to her global renown as a rock icon, poet and political activist.
“I don’t believe people playing rock’n’roll should have crowns. Rock’n’roll belongs to the people” Preliminary filming began in 1995, when Smith was reeling from the untimely death of her husband Fred ‘Sonic‘ Smith and her brother Todd in quick succession. Michael Stipe of REM, a longtime friend, introduced her to Sebring and the chemistry was instant. “It was like God gave me a new brother,” Smith recalls. Dream of Life follows a newly widowed Smith as she starts making music and playing live again, encouraged by famous friends including Bob Dylan. “I remember the first couple of times I got on stage I
felt almost as if I was going to have a heart attack,” Smith recalls. “It was a little difficult at first, but not that difficult because I’m just a natural performer. I had the encouragement of my band, and people like Bob Dylan and Michael Stipe. A lot of people gave me courage and comfort. But reconciling myself to life without my loved ones was my difficulty. A very personal difficulty.” Just a month away from turning 62, Smith likes to paint herself today as a mousy bookworm and domesticated maternal wallflower. But she is still a spiky livewire in conversation and onstage, seemingly unbothered by age. “People in our present culture are so worried about their face or wrinkles,” Smith shrugs. “But really, you can radiate youth and joy from within. I always think of that William Blake painting, Glad Day. It shows a human being radiating joy.” Even after years of sadness and loss, Smith herself continues to radiate joy and an intoxicating lust for life. Also, as the raw live footage in Dream of Life amply demonstrates, her rock shows still pack more punch than performers half her age. “When I get onstage and plug in my electric guitar, I am such an animal,” Smith cackles. “It just brings out something so primitive. It still amazes me.” Patti Smith: Dream of Life (15 certificate) screens at The Duke Of York’s Picturehouse on Friday 21 November at 11pm as part of Cinecity, the Brighton Film Festival. www.cine-city.co.uk or 0871 704 2056 latest 7 11

Fallen king A brainstorming session on what to do with the King Alfred centre will take place this week. The future of the ageing leisure centre will be debated at a Brighton and Hove City Council cabinet meeting on Thursday. The death knell fell on Karis’s £290 million plans to build 750 homes and sports facilities in a Frank Gehry designed complex earlier this month. Funder ING had pulled out in the summer and developer Karis had tried to find another investor but was unsuccessful. Council leader Mary Mears said: “We need to work out a way forward. While we’d like much better sports facilities we need to ensure that any development required to pay for them is acceptable in terms of size and appearance. The situation is very much complicated by the current economic downturn. Virtually all major public works these days are dependent on private investment and at the moment that has dried up.
However, we want to see a refurbished King Alfred leisure centre and we will do everything we can to ensure that happens.” Simon Burgess, leader of the council when the King Alfred plans were agreed, said: “The Conservative council has wasted the last year and a half when they should have been talking to the developer about what would be viable for the site in the current credit crunch, instead they have been eagerly waiting for them to fail while making no future plans.” Cabinet meeting, Hove Town Hall, 20 November 4pm.

Big difference
Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears eases the bite of the crunch The past few weeks have been some of the most interesting in living memory. Most memorable was the election of Barack Obama, the country’s first African-American President. He captured the spirit and imagination of an entire nation and set out a vision for change. Certainly things are changing in the UK. The Bank of England recently cut its interest rate by 1.5% to stimulate economic activity and many commentators are suggesting that the rate could go as low as 2% by next spring. At the council, we’re doing everything we can to shield the city from the credit crunch. Times are tough and we’ve got to pull together and work hand in hand to see this crisis out. The council is playing its part. We’ve offered local businesses an emergency ‘recession relief’ package, which contains several measures to keep the city trading and make life a little bit easier for businesses. These measures include reimbursing small businesses within ten days of receiving their invoices, allowing them to pay business rates more frequently, funding more business support clinics to provide financial advice on the issues they face and establishing a ‘taskforce’ to respond to these challenges. We want to help our residents through the worst of the financial crisis. Over the next few weeks, we will be calling on everyone to support the city’s businesses. By doing so, we help local businesses, protect local jobs and sustain the local economy. In times like these it’s vital that more people’s jobs and livelihoods are protected – and that we all can look forward to the Christmas period with renewed optimism.

The council must also play its part and that means delivering excellent services without busting the budget. On Thursday, the council’s cabinet will discuss the half-year budget and reports on our financial performance. I’m proud that we continue to build on the excellent work that was done last year, culminating in the council’s lowest ever tax increase. We’re more focused than ever on making better use of public money and, although we are not insulated from the credit crunch, we will continue to deliver the services more efficiently, at lower cost to council taxpayers. We know these are very challenging times, and we’re working even harder to help.

NEWS
Baby breakthrough A baby’s kicks and wriggles are joyous sights for parents but a Brighton-based scientist believes they could also hold the key to early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy. Dr Luc Berthouze and colleagues are enlisting a small army of healthy babies to digitally record their movements and build a picture of what is typical. In the future, babies at risk could be screened and those whose movements fall outside the norm could be identified with the condition. Cerebral palsy damages the brain and results in muscles tightening and the loss of control of movements. The scientists hope
Young babies have rarely been used in research and Dr Berthouze promised parents their children would not feel any discomfort. He is hoping to attract scores of volunteers and most will come from an area close to the Wolfson Centre. He said: “We need lots of babies who are healthy and at the earliest developmental stages that's between the ages of two and four months. All the baby has to do is lie down and play while reflective markers and stickers help track the movements they make. The equipment is non-invasive, does not stimulate the baby, and will not cause pain or discomfort.
“One in 400 children will develop cerebral palsy before they are five. The more we understand about this condition the better” early diagnosis will make therapies used to ease the impact of the condition more effective and will improve quality of life. Richard Parnell, research and evidence manager for the disability charity Scope, welcomed the research. He said: “One in 400 children will develop cerebral palsy before they are five and the more we understand about this condition the better it will be for children with CP and their families.” Parents volunteering their babies will visit the Wolfson Centre in London where infrared cameras and computers will capture, digitally simulate and then analyse babies’ turns and twists. Dr Berthouze, of Sussex University and an expert in cognitive neuroscience at University College London, said: “This is important because baby movements provide one of the earliest markers that something is wrong.”
“The recording itself is very short, usually made over multiple sessions of a few minutes each, meaning that the baby can be held in between these short sessions if parents would like to.” The research, backed by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, will involve feeding information into a computer to build a digitalised representation of the baby’s head, trunk and limb movements. Dr Berthouze said: “It looks like a star constellation before a baby skeleton model is superimposed. This provides us with the means of studying physiological details of the movements. “I’m hoping this research might lead to improved treatments at an early age when a window of intervention is still open.” Parents wanting to volunteer their babies should contact Serife Dervish of the Institute of Child Health, email s.dervish@ich.ucl.ac.uk.
Blue goes green Former Blue Peter presenter and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Gethin Jones is to judge inaugural awards for greener schools. Gethin will be joined by Beijing 2008 heroes Louis Smith and Liz Johnson on the panel, in their quest to see if Brighton and Hove is home to the greenest school in the UK. Liz won gold in the 100m breaststroke at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, while Louis became the first British gymnast to bring home an individual medal from the Olympics in 100 years. The EDF Energy awards, which will be decided next June, celebrate teachers, pupils and schools who have made
significant change to their energy and water use, and have inspired others to follow their example. Six national award winners will each receive £5,000 to help their school realise their sustainability ambitions, with £1,000 for 12 runners-up. Selected winners will be presented with their prize by a member of the judging panel. Entries for each of the three categories must be submitted via EDF Energy’s Programme for Greener Schools website (‘The Pod’) at www.jointhepod.org, which includes full details on the award categories and the entry process. The closing date for entries is February 25, 2009. latest 7 13

Life is Sweet There’s a new gem in the heart of Kemp Town: a cute little retro sweet shop called Sweet Boutique run by Lynne Davis. “I’m really excited to be opening my second sweet shop in Kemp Town, it’s the perfect location for my concept. With Christmas around the corner, it couldn’t be better timing. The idea is to go back to the oldfashioned sweet shop with hundreds of jars of sweets for sale by the quarter. I’ve got all the old favourites like lemon sherbets and giant gob stoppers. But I knew I wanted the shop to have a modern twist, so I’ve sourced lots of fun and kitsch candy-related gifts and accessories. They’re perfect for presents and Christmas stocking fillers. I’m also offering wedding favours and an usherette candy girl service for corporate events.” Sweet Boutique – purveyor of all things delicious. 106 St James’s Street, Mon–Sat 10 am–5 pm, Thursday night late opening til 8.30 pm Nov 27, Dec 4, 11, 18 Call 01273 677281 www.mysweetboutique.co.uk

A blank canvas As America enters a new era, Art Republic questions whether change can happen for us, too With a record 134 million Americans voting and the first black president in America it seems 2008, for America, was a year where change really did happen; but what about Britain – will change happen for us? This month Art Republic launches a print design competition to find out what we really think about when we hope for change. Historically, challenging economic times have bought out the best in graphic artists worldwide, often conveying a strong message of hope. So, what will 2009 bring in terms of British art? Since 1992, Art Republic has Hutch – Ready in the Can been at the forefront of the UK art Size 64cm x 48cm prints market, providing a huge Framed price from artrepublic: £212 choice of quality cutting-edge prints and poster designs in their Brighton and London galleries. Prints amongst their extensive range have also shown considerable increases in value recently, with works by artists such as Sir Peter Blake selling at £795 and then worth over £2,500 in just a few months. No ISA can match that return of investment! The beautiful thing about art is not just its subjectivity, but the way it independently depicts life. The inspiration for this arrives in many forms: no one could avoid the ubiquitous US presidential campaign of recent weeks, with the victorious Barack Obama captivating a global audience with his indelible words “change can happen.” The economic situation has also smothered our thoughts this year, affecting us all in different ways, as has the challenge of climate change.

Graham Carter – Super Hero City
With all this in mind, Art Republic are offering one lucky artist the chance to have their print exhibited and sold at one of their two galleries and worldwide online with the launch of ‘The Art of Hope’ competition taking place this month. Art Republic want you to illustrate how you feel about the opportunities presented by the transition between 2008–2009. Budding artists are encouraged to submit their piece of graphic or poster art via the Art Republic website by 30 January 2009 and the winner will be announced by the end of February 2009. “This is a fantastic opportunity for an aspiring or established artist to express themselves, with the winner to eventually expose their work to the world,” says Andrew Milledge at Art Republic. “We want to see raw, honest artwork depicting an attitude or viewpoint regarding the hope of change. A New Year brings with it the possibility of better times and we hope this competition will bring people together with some fascinating images.” For further information visit the artzine section at www.artrepublic.com, Art Republic 13 Bond Street, Brighton, BN1 1RD.

It is very difficult for us to chose what we can and can’t accept, not only in terms of quality, but also to ensure that we present to the public an exciting range of work across all media, techniques and styles.

Love your skin Zara Baker visits Brighton Laser Clinic and finds out how to stop the winter weather taking its toll on skin
Laser Hair Removal Longer lasting results
The cold weather can be harsh on our skin. Bracing winds to indoors central heating affects us, especially our faces, as we greet the elements head on. In the summer we protect our skin with SPF. The winter can be more of a challenge. I met Sandie Stockham, an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner at Brighton Laser Clinic to find ways to rejuvenate and rescue the skin from environmental damage, particularly from the winter weather. The result? Soft, supple and fresh faced.
Veinwave Treatments Removal of thread veins, spider veins and Rosacea
Lip Enhancement & Wrinkle Reduction Reduction of lines & wrinkles and lip enhancements using Restylane, Sculptra, Viscontour, muscle relaxants and more
Jan Marini Peels and Skin Care Refresh your skin
Photo Skin Rejuvenation Revive your skin
One thing many of us do in the winter is over exfoliate. The summer tan has disappeared, so the aim is for clear, soft skin. Exfoliates can be harsh on delicate skin with their exfoliating beads. Blotchy, uneven skin tone can be a result. Brighton Laser Clinic is where I was first introduced to Jan Marini Skin Care and glycolic facial peels. Glycolic is a hydroxy acid that is gentle on the skin and loosens glue-like attachment, leaving it supple and younger looking. A glycolic facial peel is great for environmental damage and acne, as skin is left thoroughly cleansed, without being too abrasive. At Brighton Laser Clinic, the Jan Marini glycolic range is used. One treatment leaves you feeling pampered, relaxed and refreshed. It’s gentle, non-irritant and suitable for all skin types. A few of the high street facial products contain hydroxy acid, and this is the anti-flammatory salicylic acid (Neutrogena and Johnson’s Clean and Clear). Glycolics like the Jan Marini peels are more effective and a small amount goes a long way. They are also well worth the treat. Between visits to Brighton Laser Clinic (once a month, every six weeks or as it suits the individual) will keep skin refreshed and the prep kit is used at home before and between facial peels. Intense Pulsed Light or IPL Skin Rejuvenation is another great treatment offered at Brighton Laser Clinic that, when combined with the glycolic facial, can leave skin rejuvenated. A patch test and consultation takes place before hand so the IPL machine can be set to the skin type from the results. It works by a red light from the machine stimulating the body’s natural processes to form new collagen and elastin (a method which slows down as we get older) so it’s great for ageing skin. IPL hydrates the skin and can even out pigmentation. The result is a clearer and brighter complexion. Thread and spider veins that become visible after the summer tan fades can also be targeted and diminished with IPL treatment. A consultation with one of the highly qualified and experienced nurses or aesthetic practitioners at Brighton Laser Clinic can transform your approach to skin care from daily cleaning to monthly maintenance. Their professionalism makes you feel comfortable and enjoy the treatments on offer. They cater around each individual and give realistic advice on how many treatments may be needed.Your winter skin-care regime can be given a complete overhaul with fantastic results. To find out more about Jan Marini glycolic facial peels, IPL and other treatments available at Brighton Laser Clinic, including Dermalogica facials, call them on 01273 686869.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Rock‘n’roll Andrew Kay on the perfect sausage roll and Sevendials gets ready to celebrate seven great years Say sausage roll to me and you’re unlikely to get me excited. That was until I first tasted one of Edward’s luxury sausage rolls. That was some time ago at Sussex and the City. Then I discovered I could get them at The Sir Charles Napier, where I am a regular on Sunday evening for the quiz. Yes, if I have failed to eat properly I will treat myself to one of his sausage rolls, my current favourite being a chorizo style that packs a nice paprika kick. In fact even if I have eaten well I can be tempted to one, as they are really very good and a million miles away from the dismal, soggy, fat-drenched offerings so often found these days. Now a brand new partnership has been launched in Brighton between Edward’s Luxury Food Parcels and Brighton’s very own pie and mash shop, Pokeno Pies. For the fist time Edward’s delicious sausage rolls will be available to buy hot at Pokeno Pies in Gardner Street. It’s been nearly two years since Ed Rayner began experimenting with his favourite ingredients to make the best tasting and most interesting pastries he possibly could.
Seven years of plenty Congratulations to Sam Metcalfe and the team at Sevendials. Since opening Sam has been up there in my list of top chefs, serving up some of my most memorable meals of the last seven years. Seven years ago the Dials was not the social hub it is today, but Sam’s restaurant has certainly been the force behind putting the Dials on the map. When Sam took over the fast-food joint and decided to make it into an up-market eaterie some had their reservations, but it was undoubtedly his forward thinking and vision that kick started the Seven Dials trend. It is a credit to The Sevendials Restaurant team, who took those early steps in transforming a tatty building and stripped it back to reveal unusual features like the original bank vault and created a beautiful private dining room. Removing the signage and simplifying the exteriors to compliment the striking building and creating a stylish restaurant. It is the consistently great quality food that has kept the locals coming back over the years. Serving up seasonal ever changing modern European dishes, Sevendials is perfect for so many occasions, from a romantic meal for two in the main dining room, a private party in the
Vault or a leisurely lunch in the sun on the terrace Sam said: “In a sea of chain restaurants and big operators it is a great celebration for us to still be going strong after seven years of trading. To celebrate this seventh anniversary we will be offering a £7 menu throughout November. Each course: starter, main and dessert will cost just £7 each, this a small way of thanking our customers.“ Seven is a lucky number for some, but for chef Sam Metcalfe and his team it has been a proven winner with over 100 weddings and numerous anniversaries and parties taking place since they opened in 2001. As part of their birthday celebrations the restaurant are offering seven Sussex brides a treat, the first seven wedding/civil ceremony parties to book before the end of this year will receive free canapes on their special day worth up to £500 for parties of over 50. See their website for more great birthday offers www.sevendialsrestaurant.co.uk for full details or to make a booking call 01273 885555
‘‘What Edward’s provide, are possibly the very best sausage rolls available“ And what started as selling pastries at work to his colleagues for holiday spending money, led to supplying his local pub. Word of mouth subsequently spread and this quickly led to supplying his local deli, followed by several shops in the city centre, one of which being voted ‘Best Sussex Food Shop‘ two years running! What Edward’s provide, are possibly the very best sausage rolls available, certainly the best I have found. They use sausage meat that is only minced and not ground, with a minimum of 85 percent meat content. They then handfold in a French puff pastry using additional fillings to create unique recipes using the very best available ingredients. To date, the demand for his handmade pastries has grown organically with no marketing, but the strength of product has led to his unique pastries becoming a full-time business, which means they will soon be available to an even bigger audience than ever before. In Edward’s own words: “Pokeno Pies is a perfect venue to make Edward’s Luxury Food Parcels available.” Keith Kemp, the owner of Pokeno pies said: “This partnership will mean that for the first time Edward’s sausage rolls will be available to buy hot and enjoyed with a nice cuppa – which just seems right” So, what’s next for Edward’s? According to the man behind the pastry, he wants to share his ethos of giving people exactly what they want, but executing it to a higher standard than ever experienced before.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk
Lee Evans – Big The audience filling the Brighton Centre certainly was big, but so was the performance. Lee Evans provided two hours of solid quickfire observational humour acted out with a variety of silly voices, silly faces and running around. Evans rampaged through a thousand everyday topics: supermarkets, driving, paying bills over the phone… hardly ever using the personal pronoun, “I“. This became a bit odd when talking about relationships: “You know your wife. You know when she comes in the room and says…“ No, I don’t. The everyman, everyday approach left him bereft of a personal viewpoint or insight, but this, and the energetic performance are key to his mainstream appeal. Alright. Brighton Centre, 25 November ✌✌✌ Jim Holland
The Fall Let’s get something straight: Mark E Smith IS The Fall. Without him, this legendary post-punk band’s ever-revolving line-up is just a talented tribute band. Tonight, Smith isn’t here. Okay; his shambling, inebriated body is present, but there’s none of the anarchic majesty, none of the fire of old. Raucous, spot-on (musically at least) versions of the likes of ‘Latchkey Kid’ are ruined by the barely-conscious vocalist slurring and strolling about the stage like a surly drunk turning up alone to punk rock karaoke. It speaks volumes that when he can’t sing for one song, Smith’s stand-in sounds infinitely better than this spent force. Hove Town Hall, 2 November ✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle
Mark Allen's Pet Project Mark Allen is an articulate man. Mark Allen is an engaging man. Mark Allen is a man dedicated to research, and it's all of these that make his latest show enjoyable. Having decided to research man's relationship with animals he embarks upon a PowerPoint presentation that encompasses both the underground group of 'Furries' – people who dress as
the animal they believe they should have been born as – and his own pet cat. Fun to watch, but provoking more smiles than laughout-loud guffaws, Mark is a guest lecturer you wish could always teach at your school. Upstairs At Three And Ten, 30 October ✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Noah and the Whale Noah and the Whale’s debut album, Peaceful The World Lays Me Down, at times sails dangerously close to twee novelty, despite the strong songwriting and accomplished musicianship. Thankfully, tonight’s show dismisses these fears with a rousing performance that lends new vigour to their tunes. A formidable brass section and electric guitar fuses the folk sound of pastoral England to the swaggering frontier motif of a Sergio Leone Western, raising the game of ‘Five Years Time’ and ‘Give A Little Love’ to anthemic levels. Sadly, this doesn’t always work, with weaker numbers given undeserved prominence, but by and large this is a sophisticated, confident show. Concorde 2, 7 November ✌✌✌

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Scouting For Girls Scouting For Girls have come a long way since their first Brighton gig at the King and Queen pub over a year and a half ago. With an energetic Monday-night performance to a packed out Brighton Centre, these guys showed off just how popular they have become (especially with the girls!) ‘James Bond‘ was the perfect opening choice with fantastic visuals and ‘Heartbeat’ and ‘She’s So Lovely’ left the crowd on a massive high. The brilliant support from The Days and Sam Beeton was just a bonus. Brighton Dome, 3 November ✌✌✌✌ Lucy Kamper
38 Music The Penny Dreadfuls: Aeneas Faversham Forever Writers and performers of BBC7's The Brothers Faversham and repeated stormer at The Edinburgh Festival, this very talented trio returned with the same show that was so well received at The Brighton Festival and the Edinburgh Festival. Delivering it with a freshness and polished performance that gave no trace of the fatigue you might expect by now, the tale of an Oyster god conspiracy in Victorian London was as entertaining as ever. Bring us back more! Pavilion Theatre, 25 October ✌✌✌✌✌

The art of film South East Dance have an extraordinary array of films lined up for the 11th Dance for Camera Festival Award-winning dance performances and world premieres will be screened in Brighton next month as part of the city's 11th Dance for Camera Festival. South East Dance, the body behind the festival, has lined up a varied and exciting programme of nearly 50 films, which will be shown over one weekend from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December. They include The Revery Alone, in which a three dimensional naked woman can be seen dancing suspended from the ceiling. The film is by Billy Cowie, the Brighton-based Scottish composer, choreographer and filmmaker, who created a 3D film of a life-sized dancer for last year's festival. Audiences will lie on the floor wearing red and blue glasses to watch the performance. Also showing this year is a selection of dance films from Oska Bright, the award-winning festival of films by people with learning disabilities.

Cinecity: Hamlet 2 (15)
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Dir: Andrew Fleming After wowing the crowds at The Sundance Film Festival this irreverent comedy is a perfect little treat. Written by Pam Brady – responsible for such classics as South Park and Team America: World Police – the film follows a high school drama teacher (played with understated gusto by Brighton and Hove resident Steve Coogan) as he stages a musical sequel to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The jokes come thick and fast in a pithy but always fun ensemble piece. This may just see Coogan go global. Showing at Duke of York’s
Dir: Woody Allen Opening Cinecity 2008, Woody Allen’s study of love and romance in Spain is the perfect fit. Two Americans abroad, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), find themselves seduced by a free-spirited artist, played with ferocity by Javier Bardem. Chuck in Penelope Cruz as a sexually explicit ex-wife and you have Allen dropping the wit as he jumps headfirst under the sheets. It might not be Manhattan but it’s a significant return to form for the director. Showing at Duke of York’s

This year promises to explore the cinema of New Europe; examining the work of the extraordinary Brothers Quay with a special exhibition; and celebrating the filmmaking talent in Brighton with its own homemade Brighton Screening Day. In 2007 the festival wooed the crowds with high profile screenings and premieres of Ang Lee’s Lust Caution, Cannes award winner 4 Months, 3 weeks, 2 Days, the superb
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week Body of Lies (15) Dir: Ridley Scott Scott’s ever-present leading man Russell Crowe is paired with Leonardo Di Caprio for this tense thriller dealing in international espionage and Middle Eastern terrorism. Talented Brit Mark Strong provides his usual sterling support. Showing at Cineworld and Worthing Burn After Reading (15) Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen The Coen brothers stick to what they know best with this caper about an incompetent pair trying to blackmail an ex CIA agent. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Coen fave Frances McDormand head a fine ensemble cast. Showing at Odeon Easy Virtue (PG) Dir: Stephan Elliott A decent Brit ensemble cast, including Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas and Prince Caspian’s Ben Barnes, take on Noel Coward’s play. Jessica Biel plays the glamorous American a young Englishman marries and brings home to his stuffy parents. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing
Easy Virtue
animation Persepolis, and the Gallic award magnet Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This year the festival truly hits its stride with premieres from around the globe. Things kick off in exotic fashion as Woody Allen’s new film Vicky Cristina Barcelona opens the festival on Thursday 20 November. Set in Spain with a stellar international cast that includes Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, this heady and often erotically charged effort should see Allen finally clamber back to the top of his idiosyncratic comedic perch. Other intriguing additions see the much anticipated Patti Smith: Dream of Life documentary from director Steven Sebring screened on Friday 21 November. Shot over 11 years, this superb feature sees Patti Smith finally get our full and undivided attention. After the recent clutch of superb if not slightly testosterone fuelled music documentaries on such luminaries as Joe Strummer, Leonard Cohen, and Scott Walker, it’s refreshing to find a genuine female icon centre stage. Later in the festival we find the sure to be fantastic Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell. This documentary of the inspirational musician is a low key affair which showcases the multitalented musician whose highly influential and tragic career incorporated work in pop, classical and disco. If music isn’t your bag of choice then you might want to sample the comedic delights of Hamlet 2 starring our very own Brighton resident Steve Coogan on 23 November. This surprise hit at the recent Sundance Festival is a sardonic freakout that sees Coogan as a failed high school drama teacher who stages his own musical sequel to Hamlet in order to save his career and his department. Written by Pam Brady – responsible for such comedy corkers as South Park and Team America: World Police – this thrifty little effort should see Coogan leap into that Hollywood mainstream he’s been so fervently pursuing in recent years. Cinecity is supported by Brighton & Hove City Council, Screen South / UK Film Council and the University of Brighton and offers screenings at Duke of York’s, Cineworld, the University of Brighton and the Sallis Benney Theatre. This is only a selection of what’s on during Cinecity. For full listings and to book tickets visit www.cine-city.co.uk
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (U) Dir: Kenny Ortega Disney’s musical hit gets its second sequel. Expect more of the same squeaky clean teens, old-fashioned song and dance routines and a million tweenie girls swooning over Zac Efron. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing Let’s Talk About The Rain (15) Dir: Agnes Jaoui The director of The Taste of Others and Look At Me returns with this lighthearted but pensive look at human relationships and social issues. The film follows a political rookie as she returns home and is forced to confront the morality of her personal ambition. Showing at Duke of York’s
Ghost Town (12A) Dir: David Koepp Ricky Gervais’s first big screen leading role has had mixed reviews and with the curious mix of talent onboard, it’s understandable why. Gervais plays a sociopathic dentist, going by the odd moniker Bertram Pincus. When Pincus has a near-death experience, he finds he can see and hear dead people. Greg Kinnear is amongst the ghoulies badgering Gervais to help right the wrongs they’ve suffered. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Max Payne (15) Dir: John Moore The gloomy 2001 game gets the seemingly requisite movie makeover. Mark Wahlberg, as the titular Max, is having a bad year as he completes his brace of films that have been universally panned after the M Night Shyamalan flop The Happening. Film noir overtones and Matrix-style violence are the order of the day as a perma-frowning Wahlberg avenges the murder of his wife and child. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Quantum of Solace (12A) Dir: Marc Forster The wait is over as Daniel Craig’s Bond returns. Following the critical success of last outing Casino Royale, Crash writer Paul Haggis and The Kite Runner’s director, Marc Forster, pulls out all the stops. Bond is on a quest for revenge after the death of his love, Vesper Lynd. The trail leads him to sinister environmentalist Dominic Greene (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’s Mathieu Amalric), who is trying to control a country’s water supply. Judi Dench pops up as M as new Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko simmer. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing Zack and Miri Make a Porno (18) Dir: Kevin Smith The director behind cult favourites Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma returns to potty-mouthed comedy after a brief sojourn in mainstream cinema. Pineapple Express’ Seth Rogen and W’s Laura Bush, Elizabeth Banks, play a pair of debt-ridden platonic flatmates who get the idea of making a porno to solve their cashflow problems. X-rated laughs and Chasing Amystyle relationship complications should make this another winner to add to Smith’s CV. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle is finding days off sick are not good for your comedy health and has some tips for scriptwriters… Whenever I end up watching daytime TV soap Doctors it’s generally because I’ve had to see the doctor. A small irony in life. Another was added on to it, as I coughed and spluttered through my dressing gown hood, when the storyline I caught myself watching featured a stand-up comedian character who takes the gamble and goes out to do a university gig, while still infectious with the chicken pox. This is all despite the pleas of his girlfriend. Halfway through his set he saw the error of his ways and declared his troth to the aforementioned girlfriend, stepping out of his stage persona and walking off stage and out the door, arm in arm with his one true love. Ah. And then as a postscript he gets a call on his answer machine saying that there was a big agent in who loved his new persona and could he do loads more gigs. Happy ever after, right? No!
“First off, he was pants. And that’s my axe to grind with these fictional comics extraordinaire” First off, he was pants. And that’s my axe to grind with these fictional comics extraordinaire. Not only did no-one laugh when he was doing his set but no-one paid any attention when he made his big exit. Not really traits a big time agent is after. Secondly, again – he was pants! And he’s not the only one. If comedy is the new rock’n’roll – once more – it seems that dramas want to have a few insights into the backstage world of these starsin-the-making – and a good script. Whether it’s EastEnders’ ‘Mrs Beale’ persona as Jane takes to the boards and bad mouths her husband – very funny but how many successful acts have you seen that are dependent on slagging one other person off repeatedly on stage? Or even looking further back to movies that have tackled the comic life, like Tom Hanks and Sally Field in Punchline. According to the scriptwriters all comedians are hiding a tortured soul and laughing through the pain, and if they ever go ‘off script‘ and ‘wing it’ then the whole facade doesn’t come falling down around their ears – oh no. It releases them to express the comic genius they were too shy to expose previously. Just check out Sally Fields’ ad libs with a hen party. She’s so clever. And not scripted by a seasoned scriptwriter who’s part of a film that’s costing millions. Is the facade falling yet? It’s nice that comedians are no longer simply being portrayed as the ageing lothario with the twirling bow tie – R.I.P Mike Reid, gone but not forgotten. But do we all have to be damaged versions of Oscar the Grouch? Sometimes comics do joke about when they’re not on stage. It would be a heck of a bad career choice if they couldn’t. Sometimes they even crack a smile. And just occasionally they laugh out loud at other people’s jokes, stick to their set and get the best response ever from carefully crafted, well thought out, practised and gigged gags. It doesn’t happen overnight. So take scat and shove it you fair-weather dramas.

Christmas lights switch on
John Davies encourages us to remember, remember free speech in November
Town centres light up this month with festive celebrations and a warm welcome to late night shopping. In the heart of Sussex, Haywards Heath switch on their Christmas lights at The Orchards shopping centre on Saturday 29 November. Santa’s sleigh will be there, plus two real reindeer that children can befriend and feed. To get everyone in the spirit there will be roast chestnuts, mince pies and mulled wine for sale throughout the day. Santa arrives at 5pm to turn on the new Christmas lights both South Road and The Orchards. Following the switching on of the lights, Haywards Heath transforms into a Christmas shopping paradise, with late night openings every Thursday from 4 to 18 December. A Christmas craft market will be open selling gifts, and the weather people have promised that whatever happens in the sky, in The Orchards there will be snow! Over in Brighton, things are just as magical as the cast of The Wizard of Oz (appearing at Theatre Royal, Brighton in December), switch on the Christmas lights down East Street this Thursday 20 November. Local radio station Southern FM will run a variety of competitions with wonderful prizes up for grabs. Come along dressed up as your favourite Oz character as there will be prizes for the best dressed child and adult. Revamp in Sydney Street have a ready-made selection of Wizard of Oz costumes, or get creative and make your own. Dorothy will switch on the Christmas lights at 6pm, followed by favourite songs from the show in a special performance from 6.30pm. The traders of Unique Brighton will be keeping their stores open until 8pm, so you can enjoy a spot of shopping between the entertainment. Haywards Heath, Christmas lights switch on at The Orchards shopping centre, Saturday 29 November, from 3pm–6pm. Lights go on at 5pm when Santa greets the Mayor. The event is free for all to enjoy, with the chance to see real reindeer. Unique Brighton’s Christmas lights switch on at East Street this Thursday 20 November, with the cast of The Wizard of Oz joining the Mayor. It all starts at 5pm with Southern FM giving away prizes. The lights go on at 6pm with the fancy dress competition taking place at 6.15pm. More competitions and late night shopping runs until 8pm. Pic: Kate Howell
I’m writing this on the evening when Lewes suffers a collective madness – November 5, Bonfire Night, celebrating the foiling of a plot to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. It’s also the evening when Barack Obama has been elected the first African-American President, when a corporal in the British Army – a salsa dance teacher from Hove to boot – has been found guilty of spying for Iran, and when a research study has discovered a high rate of suicide among elderly women of South Asian origin. It’s not original to say that change is a way of life, but the rate of change, (‘Change We Need’ was one of Obama’s campaign slogans) leaves many desperate to catch their breath and take stock. One reason offered for that increased suicide rate is cultural change. I’ve just finished reading Nasreen Akhtar’s fresh and enchanting memoir about her quest for a Prince Charming on the internet Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the internet). If you read my review last week you’ll know that at one point in the story Nasreen felt drawn to the customs of Islam, reconnecting with the faith of her childhood. I studied Islam at university under the direction of Professor James Dickie, now Dr Yaqub Zaki, the deputy director of the Muslim Institute in London and once deputy leader of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain. Renowned for rearranging the furniture in his rooms late at night and a vampire hunter, James took me on strange excursions to Lancashire’s witch-ridden Pendle Hill. (“So good they named it thrice“ as Dave Swann says – Pen = hill, dell = valley, Hill = hill.) He went on to edit a collection of vampire stories The Undead, which continues to attract rave reviews from horror fans. James also contributed to respected academic studies The Islamic Garden and Architecture of the Islamic World. I believe he is now working on a history of Islam in Britain. Dr Zaki is a fascinating, eccentric and brilliant man. But he hasn’t endeared himself to the British press. At the time of the London bombings he said he wouldn’t mind if bombers attacked Downing Street, although it would be a shame to damage the Georgian building. And he associates with Holocaust deniers and other loonies. (See www.tellingfilms.co.uk for their side of the story and www.militantislammonitor.org for an equally nutty response.) Yaqub Zaki doesn’t run the danger of being hung, drawn and quartered, the fate suffered by Guido Fawkes, the religious revolutionary who lead the Gunpowder Plot. But free speech is under threat as never before. Whatever one makes of the hullaboo about Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand (suitably burnt in effigy by Edenbridge Bonfire Society in Kent) and their treatment of Andrew Sachs, their real treachery was to devalue the invaluable freedom we all share to speak our minds.

Shear talent
I do think we get perceived as a quieter, sedate band more than is actually true. We like to work with great contrasts.
Frontman of melancholy Texans Shearwater and Okkervil River musician Jonathan Meiburg spoke to Nick Aldwinckle
You and Kim (Burke, upright bass player) divorced a few years ago. How does that work in the band? Actually it’s made the relationship better. It’s a peculiar thing. We split up before the Winged Life record, but we had these recording sessions booked and we just had to go and get on with it. Somehow the experience of that made things better. The music gave us something we still had in common.
Okkervil River multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg brings his main band, Shearwater, to Brighton this week. A more downbeat affair than the energetic Americana of Okkervil, Shearwater incorporates strings, piano and more mournful vocals than you’d expect from these residents of Austin, Texas. Fresh from supporting Coldplay on a North American tour, Meiburg spoke to Latest 7. How was supporting Coldplay? Ridiculous! It was really fun. The whole thing was on such a grand scale that we forgot to be nervous about it! The Coldplay fans cheered when we stopped playing songs, but whether that was because they liked our songs or were glad they were closer to seeing Coldplay, I don’t know!

You’re a graduate ornithologist. How did this lead to music? Well, it was funny. I was doing my two year degree, which started in 1999, and because I was going on tours all the time with bands it took six years to get it done! I’d always played guitar and piano and stuff, but it kind of snuck up on me during that time and took over. I still love birds. I love to study them and I go on field studies and things whenever I can.
Why did you name your latest album Rook? I liked the look and sound of that word, like Tusk or something. But I liked it as the nickname for the kind of bird that’s nicknamed Johnny Rook, as a bird in-joke just for me. It’s also a word for stealing something and I think we’re stealing the natural world from ourselves, which is what a lot of the album’s about: the destruction of the natural world. And why the name Shearwater? I chose it in part because it is long-lived and lives its life so apart from everyone and everything that you or I know. I love the idea of these creatures living these completely independent lives away from everything we think’s important. I want to make music evoking mystery and Shearwater inhabit this other world, almost. I don’t really feel we fit into the Austin, Texas scene and maybe that’s part of it. Shearwater, Monday 24 November, Komedia
Do you prefer Okkervil River or Shearwater? I like Shearwater more than the energetic stuff in Okkervil, which is why I do it. I don’t want to knock anything that Will’s doing. He’s got a tremendous amount of energy and drive. I’ve worked with him for many years and I really like it, but there’s a difference between lively and alive. I think that after a while I get a little bored with jumping around and banging things. There are a lot of different ways of expressing things.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Fields This London/Iceland quintet is among the best young bands the UK has to offer. Thrilling Beta Band psychedelic pop dances with the odd heavy Mew guitar riff and glacial tinkling not dissimilar to the likes of Efterklang or Sigur Ros. The second album sounds stunning, so this gig should be unmissable. Tuesday 18 November, Audio NA Fight Like Apes + To The Bones + The Electric City In line with the recession I sense a musical recession coming along, now that we’ve had a relatively productive last few years (mark my words, ‘03-’07 will go down as a golden era). Bands like Fight Like Apes epitomise this downward spiral where live energy and mad antics can’t quite compensate for their humdrum music. Wednesday 19 November, Audio JH Cara Dillon Angelic voiced Irish folkstress who was once in a band (Equation) with Seth Lakeman (see below), and who is married to and musically collaborates with Seth’s brother, Sam. Rather MOR at times, but sometimes sublime and beautiful. Wednesday 19 November, Komedia JH Peggy Sue + Derek Meins Brighton’s Peggy Sue combine cutesy folk, punk and doo-wop, with plenty of oh-oh-oh’s, and lashings of teenage abrasiveness. Meanwhile ex-Eastern Lane Derek Meins is developing a cult following for his offbeat performance poetry mixed in with indie rock. Possibly quite mad, and possibly more bark than bite at the moment. Let the boy develop, I say. Wednesday 19 November, Duke of Yorks JH

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases The basics of folk music have been used rather cunningly by a number of acts in the last year or so: Johnny Flynn and Tunng to name but two. On a different tip, the brilliant Threatmantics sometimes use folk’s insistent rhythms, and that combined with the lo-fi hypnotic spirit of Velvet Underground, has resulted in Upbeat Love, one of the most original works of recent times. Punk greats The Buzzcocks have recently resurfaced to great acclaim (their live show is superb), continuing to bask in the glory of their late ‘70s heyday which included three hit albums, all being re-released. Another Music In A Different Kitchen, Love Bites and A Different Kind of Tension are all classics, full to the brim with catchy-ashell punk tunes with a pop edge. Essential. One of life’s great mysteries is how in the hell did The Stereophonics become such a monster? The answer is they have had a knack for regularly knocking out singles that are memorable and, if truth be told, rather classy, in a mainstream pop sort of way. It explains why punters are constantly being duped into buying their albums which contain nextto-nothing at all memorable or ‘good’. So, now you know… So, if you must, get their The Best of… Social consciousness music is alive and well in Brighton with the likes of Bad Science and King Porter Stomp leading the cavalry charge. Vogue Gyratory have been around a while now, led by the engaging Luke Parker. Making music that bit more adventurous and offbeat, Extra Arms & Extra Ears is a gently diverting journey through acoustic funk, soul, dub, hip hop and world music with plenty of humour throughout, particularly on the rather prescient ‘Banks’ song. British Asian music is often overlooked by the mainstream music press (here included), which is pretty shameful when you consider the quality of Trickbaby’s second album, Chor Bazaar. All the best music transcends boundaries. Taking this as a starting point, Chor Bazaar blends traditional sitar and tabla drums with modern dance beats and rock guitar, as well as more international sounds, incorporating Latin American and Balkan influences to often dazzling effect. A striking cinematic veneer shines throughout as guest appearances from the likes of Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz and Shakespear’s Sister’s Marcella Detroit add to the record’s diverse feel. A few singles now, and first up we have the generic R’n’B of hardworking producer turned performer Tah Mac. Though the Brooklynbased Tah has worked with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Ciara and Redman, unfortunately, debut single ‘Time of My Life’ shows none of the star quality of his peers. Bringing up the Europop rear, Berlin techno DJ Florian Meindl’s latest release ‘8 Bit Romance’ has a decent, ambient feel, though just manages to avoid the common ambient trap of falling too far into the background. A sophisticated, subtly rewarding sound, this is well worth a listen.

Will Harris ponders office social mores when you start a new job…
Red all over One of the biggest parties of the year will take place next month. The Red Party, the annual Wild Fruit World Aids Day fundraising event, will be held at Tru on Sunday 7 December. The three rooms will have something for everyone, with house, pop and R'n'B as well as top DJs, sexy dancers, outrageous drag diva hostesses and performance artists, all draped in dramatic red. All staff, DJs and artists are offering their time free of charge. It’s that one time of year when you can show your support for all the fantastic work done by the city’s charities and worthy causes just by coming along and having a good time, so don’t be complacent, get off your asses, put your hands in your pockets and dance. Hostess Dolly Rocket said: “Don’t forget to wear head to toe red for this special occasion or show your support by at least wearing your red ribbon with pride!“ Clubbers will be asked to make a donation on the door, with a suggested minimum of £5, and 100 percent of the money will go to the Sussex Beacon. Wild Fruit have raised nearly £120,000 to date.
Dave Lynn and Pat Cruise
Drag factor Seven stars have been born into the Brighton drag and cabaret scene and the graduates of Dave Lynn's Cabaret Academy are now available to take bookings for professional gigs. This year's output include: Welsh rocker Violet Venom, whose act blurs the line between alternative comedy and drag. At the industry showcase, Venom wielded a bottle of vodka, pogoed her way through a Blondie number; and confessed to waking up face down in a urinal and details of her hedonistic student lifestyle in Lewes Road. Buxom Auntie Robbie told an outrageous story about an exploding toilet and innocently pouting Tammy Tinkle closed the night with belting songs and Gaydar gags. The event was sponsored by REALBrighton.com and compered by Dave Lynn and Pat Cruise. It raised money for the Sussex Beacon.

Starting a new job can be nervewracking at the best of times, but for us gay boys and girls there can be other worries besides not knowing where the toilets are on our first day. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how secure we are in our sexuality, the prospect of entering an entirely new environment with a group of people we don’t know can mean only one thing: coming out all over again. I know. Looking at my peroxide hair and carefully pressed creases, I’m hardly going to have any future co-worker in two minds over which side of my desk I keep my stationery, even so – for those first few days in a new job – I’m never quite sure of the appropriate moment to come clean about my sexual preferences.
you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Actually, looking back, I think people have always asked me if I have a girlfriend first off. They probably didn’t want to seem rude, or presumptuous, but it always felt a little odd. It’s a bit like asking someone who’s clearly a rabbi if he has a bacon sandwich. Anyway, that’s all well and good if we’re fortunate enough to be loved up when we’re asked the Golden Question, but what if we’re not? We can’t just say no and leave it at that, can we? In that situation, I’ve found a cunning alternative is to bang on about my most recent ex, making sure I use the appropriate personal pronoun when doing so. Do NOT do what I once did, and somehow end up chickening out into using ‘they‘ for the first week,
“Blurting out our most intimate sexual mores the first time we meet a colleague is clearly deranged, if we leave it too long, will we appear ashamed?“ For one thing, unless you’ve done it yourself, you probably don’t know how difficult it is to wedge the phrase “I like to have sex with big hairy men – surprise!” into a conversation about invoicing; it’s far too personal a statement for an office environment. And if blurting out our most intimate sexual mores the first time we meet a colleague is clearly deranged, if we then leave it too long, isn’t there always that worry we’ll appear ashamed or embarrassed about our sexuality? I suppose the optimal moment to come out (version 2.0) is when we find ourselves asked the inevitable Golden Question: Do
e.g. “I had this ex and they messed me around, so I told them…” In that instance, I’m fairly sure everyone in the office thought I was either a paranoid schizophrenic or a polygamist. Of course, coming out when we start a job is never going to be as stressful as it was the first time round; I imagine few bosses out there will start crying and shouting how they blame themselves for letting us play with a Cabbage Patch Doll in a doctor’s waiting room when we were two. But, once it’s done, it’s done, which leaves us free to pluck up the courage to finally ask someone where the toilets are?

Creamy Fingers, Thursday
Hauling myself into my new vice – the tartan skirt, I took the pilgrimage to town. As I flashed my mugshot ID and flounced straight into The Basement I exploded into life with energy I thought I’d long lost! As the sound of Bob Sinclair blared out, I burst into an uncontrollable wiggle. Around me the testosterone-rocking crowd effortlessly bobbed and confabbed simultaneously to the entourage of chart remixes that set me alive. Instead of primitive grinds being bounced from groin to groin, the art of conversation is rediscovered. It was like Gok Won's vacation spot, all the men were trussed in immaculate threads and well spread with deodorant and aftershave. No need for the guru of dress in these circumstances. I could have been an upside-down Marilyn Monroe as the air con breezed through my hair. It was more refreshing than a Herbal Essence splash as, for once, the air was clean of stale beer and the floor free of brewed glue. It was like stepping out into a vast plain of desert as the smoking area, in all its warm glory, spread before us. Contacting other groups to source a lighter required UPS mail delivery. A far cry from the wet guttering of other smoking arenas. Upstairs is set to ‘volume sociable‘,. as walls adorned with screens of divas entertained the chilled-out masses on slinky pristine sofas. And if that wasn't enough scenery, top bar totty made for conversation fillers. Legends is the gift box of clubbing, with doses of everything from good music, through to a well dressed, well-behaved crowd, to clean air and acres of smoking elbow room. Just the thing to get your friends this weekend, best of all bonuses? It’s free this entire season.

Dir Stephen Herek) Classic surf-head doofus history movie as two dunderheads, played by Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves, are helped with their history assignment by a time-travelling phone box (wherever did they get that idea from?) and a groovy instructor, played by the late George Carlin. Fantastic, irrepressible, rock-tastic film.
THURSDAY 20 Evel ★★✩✩✩ (1994, Five, 3.10pm. (Dir John Badham) Ah, before they were famous this is where actors went to get paid. This Evel Kneivel made-for-TV biopic stars CSI’s George Eads as the manybroken man himself and My Name Is Earl’s harpy Jaime Pressly as his love interest. With better than fair stunts, as you would expect in a film about America’s most well-known daredevil, this fills a rainy afternoon easily.
FRIDAY 21 Meet The Parents ★★✩✩✩ (2000, BBC1, 10.40pm. (Dir Jay Roach) Popular but cringeworthy comedy starring Ben Stiller as the hapless chump brought home for the first time by his sweetie pie to meet the prospective in-laws. With Robert De Niro as the ex-CIA father and a comedy of errors including a deceased

Come Dine With Me I love this programme. I know I’m not the only one. This seems to have an almost cult following. And I believe all of the success is down to the narration of the programme. Because it is really funny. If you have never watched Come Dine With Me you will have no idea what I am rambling on about. Come Dine With Me is a competitive cookery programme, where five strangers all take it in turns to cook dinner for the rest of the group. Once dinner has been eaten the group mark the host on their cooking and hosting abilities. At the end of the week the host with the most points gets £1,000. It doesn’t sound all that fantastic, but I can assure you it is. Some of the people on the show really fancy themselves as the best chef since Gordon Ramsay and you can clearly see that they are really enjoying pretending to have their own cookery show for the evening – as if we haven’t all played that game in our heads already! Some people are seriously competitive and do everything they can to gain points and sabotage the chances for the other participants. My favourite episode, to date, was when a dinner lady was one of the contestants. She was a lady living on a council estate and bless her she tried her best, but it really didn’t help that her guests were made up of a load of posh idiots thinking they know best (however, I have to admit that the pudding of ice cream with Maltesers on top wasn’t really prize-winning, but funny to say the least). The best thing about this is the reality of it – you watch people get tipsy in a competitive environment. It calls for all sorts of rows, declarations of love and food poisoning. Each night the competitors host their evening in their own home. This, obviously, can lead to some tension as the guests go snooping about and commenting on the décor. I am not a fan of most reality shows, but this one is top of my list. And although the situation always raises humour the narrator is extremely funny and sarcastic, which adds to the amusement I get from watching a bunch of strangers drink too much and then judge each other. I haven’t met one person who does not like this show. I think it is brilliant and surprisingly it has been going on for a few years. If you catch one episode and become addicted I have a sneaking suspicion that there are a few episodes on the On Demand service. Yay!
18 – 24 Nov
(1968, Sky Movies Classics, 11.05pm. Dir Roger Vadim) Jane Fonda stars as the futuristic sex bomb on the hunt for scientist Durand Durand. Seducing an angel along the way and encountering all manner of sexy, free love ideas, the doe-eyed siren embarks upon some of the most ridiculous and best high kitsch adventures in the universe.
SATURDAY 22 What Lies Beneath ★★★★✩ (2000, ITV, 10.55pm. Dir Robert Zemeckis) Starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Supernatural thriller about a woman who uncovers a chilling secret in her husband’s past when she begins to see visions of a mysterious woman while recuperating from a serious road accident. Her husband, sends her to a therapist. But events soon start getting very spooky. Minority Report ★★★✩✩ (2002, Sci Fi, 9.20pm. Dir Steven Spielberg) Great sci-fi noir, where the anti-hero hero is counting down to a murder he’s going to commit. Detective John Anderton (Tom Cruise) heads Washington D.C.’s Department of Precrime, which uses psychics to foretell future murders.
SUNDAY 23 Revelation ★✩✩✩✩ (2001, BBC1, 11.50pm. Dir Stuart Urban) Starring Terence Stamp. Fantasy thriller in which an ancient religious relic, missing for centuries, reappears in the present day and threatens to reveal its terrible secrets. Unintentionally hilarious, this is a romp through all the wrong things to do with a movie.
MONDAY 24 This is England ★★★★★ (2006, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Shane Meadows) Here’s how it should be done, as Meadows displays a masterclass in homegrown filmmaking. Starring Thomas Turgoose, this is a portrayal of disaffected youth and the skinhead movement in the 1980s. A young boy finds unexpected acceptance with a group of older skinheads. When a charismatic former member returns from prison with National Front sympathies, the gang splits down racist and non-racist lines.

tuesday 18 CSI: Miami Five, 9pm Don’t you just love all that sunshine, that pale skin from CSIs who know about sun screen and that long blonde hair. Okay, we’re talking about star sharp-shooter extraordinaire and all-round tough cookie Calleigh Duquesne. She rocks! And so say the crims that kidnap her and force her to cover up a murder. Oops.
Bremner, Bird And Fortune: Silly Money Channel 4, 10pm Acidic tongues were never so appreciated as the current batch from the septigenerian wits and former Spitting Image boy done good. Providing a mixture of harsh facts and biting satire, the trio deliver their look at the current global financial system. This might hurt your funny bone.
Property Ladder More 4, 7pm Sarah Beeny must have the patience of a saint. Every week she goes round to a new set of property developers and every week they ignore her advice and do it their way anyway. Do they not know the definition of the word ‘expert’?
