Community News Town Mayor This month I am going to talk about the Town Council’s very important relationship with Horley Police.

Members of the Council have regular meetings with the local community force.

We discuss areas of concern brought up by Councillors and issues of concern to the residents. The police also feed back about local crimes and what is being done about them. We also liaise about incidents filmed on CCTV in the town and parks, some of which are maintained by the Town Council.

Since we have installed CCTV in the parks, our bills for repairs of play equipment have reduced considerably.

The police have a regular weekly consultation van in the Waitrose car park.

They also hold regular police panels in various parts of the town to which all local residents are welcome.

There is often also a local Councillor presence at these meetings. These are advertised on local notice boards and the Town Council and local police websites.

We are very fortunate in having a very efficient and approachable community police team. Both the Police and PCSO’s do a great job and are very friendly.

Do say hello to them when you see them in the town.

I am sure that the good relationship the Town Council has with the local police helps to make Horley a safer and happier town.

Richard Olliver Horley Town Mayor

D-Day 1944: Democracy 1- 0 Tyranny Ted Bruning On 6 June we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the greatest victory achieved by democracy over tyranny.

And while most of the coverage of this great day will undoubtedly and rightly focus on the unflinching selflessness of the 50,000 Allied soldiers of the assault waves who faced German artillery and machine-guns across the open beaches of Normandy, it’s worth sparing a moment to contemplate why democracy won.

The majority of the soldiers who contested those narrow strips of sand were young workingclass men, broadly similar in training and equipment, in courage and determination; indistinguishable from each other, in fact, in everything except the language they spoke.

What separated the victors from the vanquished that day was the nature of the political systems that directed them.

The young British, American, and Canadian men confronting the concrete, barbed wire, landmines, and guns of the Third Reich may not have known it, but the young German men opposing them had already been fatally undermined before a shot was fired. A leadership that was corrupt, incompetent, divided, toadying, blinkered, obstinate, and alternately swollen with pride and prostrated by fear had made so many idiotic decisions over the past two years that no amount of heroism on the part of its troops could redeem it. And at the heart of all the double-dealing, betrayal, and rottenness stood Adolf Hitler.

After the invasion of Russia in June 1941 Hitler more or less retreated to his Eastern Front HQ, where he was surrounded by a small cadre of placemen, yes-men, courtiers, toadies, flatterers and cronies who told

him only what they thought he wanted to hear. He governed the Reich via a maze of overlapping bureaucracies which squabbled for influence and ceaselessly stabbed each other in the back. And despite his remoteness he insisted on making even the smallest tactical decisions himself, paralysing his front-line commanders.

This administrative chaos effectively crippled the Germans facing the invasion.

They had almost no armoured support because Rommel, the commander on the ground, knew that tanks couldn’t move from rear positions to the front because of Allied air-power, and therefore wanted the armour right at the water’s edge.

To the commander of Panzer Group West, Geyr von Shweppenburg, this was heresy. They appealed to Hitler.

His compromise was that the available armour should be divided between them, but that von Schweppenburg couldn’t commit his tanks without Hitler’s express orders – which, of course, came too late.

As a result the Me262 didn’t appear until September 1944, far too late to make a difference.

The occasions on which Hitler accepted bad advice that chimed with his preconceptions and fantasies and ignored sound advice that didn’t are too numerous to relate, but they cost the Germans dear on 6 June 1944, and they probably cost Germany the war.

And here’s the contrast between tyranny and democracy. Churchill wasn’t short of bad ideas himself, trying to stop Nazi bombers by dropping parachute mines on them from above being one.

And the Allied leaders weren’t short of dissent: the row over Then there were the phantom the division of US naval resources divisions in Kent and Sussex between Europe and the Pacific that appeared to threaten the rumbled on for two years.

At the Sharp End of D-Day D-Day was the most intensivelyplanned operation in military history.

But something had to go wrong; and it did so during the storming of Omaha by American troops.

All 329 bombers overshot – not one of 13,000 bombs hit the defences.

The 32 amphibious tanks were launched 10 miles from shore – only two landed. The naval bombardment missed the German guns but set the sea-grass ablaze, obscuring the landmarks by which the landing-craft were meant to navigate. Many landing-craft beached on a sandbar 500 yards offshore – their troops either drowned while disembarking in deep water or were killed by machine-gun fire. Most of the assault wave who did get ashore were either hit crossing the shingle or pinned down under the sea-wall, frantically cleaning rifles clogged with wet sand. In the chaos units were jumbled up, many officers being separated from their men.

Eventually, weight told.

The Germans were thinly stretched and couldn’t defend all the exits.

Small parties of Americans found their way into the German rear, while the follow-up wave of tanks neutralised the German guns.

But it took six hours of carnage to subdue the defences and clear the beach – six hours during which 1,400 American soldiers were killed and the same number wounded.

Whatever was going on at the respective high commands, that was the reality for the men at the sharp end of D-Day.

FOOD AND DRINK Jolly Farmers celebrates National Butchers Week with a creation from the Surrey history books The Jolly Farmers pub in Buckland near Reigate is helping their local butcher put a lost sausage back on people’s plates. When pub owners Jon and Paula Briscoe – staunch supporters of local food – approached Robert Hewitt of Reigate’s Robert and Edwards Butchers about creating a sausage that uses locally sourced, free range pork, little did they know that it would lead to the discovery of a longforgotten recipe. Now, the historic banger has been re-named The Surrey Hills Heritage Sausage.

“The pork and apple sausage is made to an original recipe created by Robert Hewitt’s father, Norman,” explains Jon Briscoe. “He ran a pig farm less than two miles from here and was something of a sausage expert who supplied top stores such as Selfridges, so when Robert found his recipe, we agreed to give it a try. Once we’d tasted it, we knew this was a sausage that people needed in their lives – a handmade, heritage product we would be proud to serve to our customers.”

Its local credentials have earned the sausage the approval of Surrey Hills Enterprises which supports the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), making it the only banger in the Surrey Hills to be permitted to display the prestigious Surrey Hills badge of approval. To further show their commitment to the local area, The Jolly Farmers will be making a donation of 5% to the Surrey Hills for every portion of sausage and mash served during the course of their new spring menu, ploughing funds back into the local area to encourage conservation, preservation and enhancement.

Surrey Hills Heritage Sausage & grain mustard mash, new season asparagus spears & balsamic onion gravy Serves 2 but easily doubled Ingredients 4 Surrey Hills Heritage sausages (available at Jolly Farmers deli & Robert & Edwards butchers)

2 medium Maris Piper potatoes Gravy granules 1 tsp Eddie Webster’s Grain Mustard Knob of unsalted butter 50 ml double cream, or to taste Briscoe’s Balsamic Onion Chutney New season asparagus spears Cracked black pepper Splash of red wine - optional (all ingredient can be sourced from Jolly Farmer deli shop)

Method 1. Place the sausages in a lightly oiled roasting tin in preheated oven at 180c for 12 minutes, turning occasionally. After eight minutes, add asparagus to roasting tray and season with black pepper.

2. Peel, chop, rinse & boil potatoes with a pinch salt until tender. Drain off excess water then add a generous knob of unsalted butter, a glug of cream and grain mustard, mash until smooth and season to taste.

3. For the gravy, bring 285 ml (half a pint) of water to the boil, add a splash of red wine and granules then whisk until thickened. Finish by adding a generous spoon of onion chutney.

“The discovery of this heritage sausage from such close proximity to The Jolly Farmers is just a fantastic story. We are honoured to be the driving force behind this wonderful collaborative project bringing pub, butcher and Surrey Hills Enterprises together through our shared values,” says Jon. “Our business model is about supporting and working with local food and drink producers, so this is a perfect fit for us.”

• Robert and Edwards butchers in Reigate will also be selling the Surrey Hills Heritage Sausage and making a 5% donation to the Surrey Hills Trust Fund.

Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes. A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you've been watching TV and not heard a word that's been said, even though you've been staring straight at the screen.

Alternatively it's the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place. Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident.

Making an

Entrance

A hallway is like a handshake: the introduction to your home, creating a look and feel that should be both attractive and welcoming, as well as providing useful storage, explains Katherine Sorrell.

Design and decorating Width is the crucial issue in hallways, and unless you’re prepared to do some substantial building work and remove a wall, you’re probably stuck with what you have. To increase the feeling of space in a narrow hallway, use pale colours and add large mirrors (ideal for checking your reflection just before you leave the house, too). Keep the space as clear as possible by adding only the most essential items of slender storage furniture, and using the full height of your walls rather than encroaching on floor space.

A sophisticated modern coat stand will stand out in your hallway.

If, on the other hand, you have a large and spacious hallway – lucky you!

Think of it as an extra living space and make the most of it by adding a sofa or chairs, bookcases or a writing desk. For plenty of inspirational ideas, see Hallways, Corridors and Staircases by Leslie Geddes-Brown, with fabulous photography

by Christopher Drake (Ryland, Peters & Small, £25).

Whatever the size of your hall, consider it as a linking room and make sure your choice of decorative schemes works well when doorways to other rooms are open.

If you have chosen a pale colour scheme for the walls, woodwork could be slightly darker for interest. Halls that see a lot of wear and tear could be painted with an extra-tough paint, or clad with tongue-and-groove panelling, tiles or hard-wearing wallpaper.

Fabulous flooring Halls and stairs are high-traffic areas, so ensure that your flooring is non-slip, durable, resistant to dirt and simple to clean – if you can mop it, so much the better.

Stone, ceramic or quarry tiles, or colourful Victorian encaustic tiles, are all easy to care for, while solid wooden boards or parquet require only some regular polishing or waxing.

Cheap wood laminates may not last too long in such a well-used space. Lino or vinyl can look impressive, too, especially when laid in patterns.

Carpet, however, is more problematic as you’ll need to choose a colour or pattern that won’t show the dirt – and make sure that it is suitable for a hallway: an 80:20 twist classified for heavy domestic use is often the best.

www.mantramagazines.co.uk

Under-floor heating is ideal for narrow halls, but do check that it will be compatible with your flooring. On the other hand, if there’s room, you could opt for eye-catching radiators, perhaps a period-style cast-iron column or an eye-catching modern type.

Hall lighting doesn’t need to be bright enough for reading, but it should be welcoming and lead the eye into your home: it could be an amazing chandelier (given high enough ceilings) or a series of recessed ceiling downlights. In a narrow hall, avoid wall lights – they will just act as obstacles.

cupboards with plain doors, (perhaps painted the same colour as the walls, or even mirrored to maximise light) ranked along one wall, will hold masses yet be hardly noticeable. On the other hand, you could make a statement with an eclectic selection of free-standing cupboards, sideboards, tables, benches, dressers, baskets, shelves and so on. If necessary, fit hooks or pulleys high up on walls to hold bikes, and perhaps a coat stand or row of pegs for everyday coats and bags.

Umbrella stands and boot racks are ideal for spacious, country-style halls. Somewhere to keep post and keys is a good Storage idea, too, whether a bowl and Most people store a variety of things in their halls, from coats, rack on a dresser or a small, scarves and hats to phone books, wall-mounted cupboard and set of hooks.

What about mowers? The one you choose will probably be determined by cost as well as the job it can do. If you have a level, fairly high-quality lawn then a cylinder mower is best.

If the surface of your lawn is the slightest bit uneven, then a rotary mower is a better choice as it will cope much better in ‘adverse’ situations. If you remove a fair amount of grass at each cut then the clippings should be raked up immediately. However, if you produce only tiny clippings then during dry weather you can leave them on the lawn to help conserve soil moisture.

RH UNCOVERED CASE STUDY

RH Uncovered: Case Study Becky Wells, Health and Wellness

Client:

Becky Wells is a health and wellness expert, specialising in hypnotherapy and personal fitness. Becky approached us in 2013 regarding the possibility of featuring her services in the RH Uncovered magazines having been drawn to the wealth of expert articles that we carry each month. Becky’s enthusiasm for her profession led us to invite her to become a regular contributor to our Health and Wellbeing section. Here she tells us why she chose RH Uncovered magazines.

1) Why did you decide to advertise your business with RH Uncovered magazines in the first place?

When I first set up my hypnotherapy practice I knew that I wanted to work with my local community. I knew I had to advertise myself but with so many local publications around I didn’t know which way to go.

My practice is based within the RH10 postcode and so I was getting and reading a copy of the magazine each month.

I loved the local content and editorial in the magazine and decided to give the team a call.

Becky Wel ls Health and Welln ess

Sector: Health & B eauty Advert S ize: Quar ter Page (2013) Client sin ce: 2013

6 months down the line I am still receiving a high number of calls quoting the magazine.

The calls are consistent throughout the month and the number of calls I receive each month is growing.

and the quality of calls I get have made my advertising decision an easy one.

The team have remained supportive throughout.

I have regular contact with them.

They are always there to help and advise me on my next month’s campaign. I have found working with them completely stress free and professional and this has left me free to carry on working in my now very busy practice.

I am coming to the end of my contract with the magazine and I am excited to meet with Nikki, Carly and the team to discuss renewing my contract with them. I have some exciting things coming up in my business and sharing this news with their readers makes sense.

3) Why would you choose the I arranged to meet with Nikki RH Uncovered titles over a coffee and I was impressed over other magazines at how much interest Nikki you have used? showed in my business. She advised me on the best way to I often hear people commenting spend my budget and supported on the magazine as a reliable me through my first campaign source of local information. and even came up with some It’s trusted, it’s read and the great ideas on how my advert reliable distribution means I should look and read. know that my advert is being seen by the people that I want 2) How successful would you to attract to my business. say that your campaign with I always leave copies in my the RH Uncovered magazines clinic and it’s a great talking point and icebreaker between has been? myself, and my clients.

The response from my campaign The results I have seen in the growth of my business has been overwhelming.

4) What does the future hold for your relationship with RH Uncovered magazines.

The growing popularity of the magazine in the Haywards Heath area means that I can grow my business with them.

Alongside my hypnotherapy business I run ‘pay it forward UK’, we spoke to Shelley about the project and ran an article in their community section.

Again I had response and interest on the back of this article. This shows the magazine is read cover to cover and I am proud to be a contributor to the magazine.
