Welcome

Welcome to the August Edition I wonder how many of us remember our pre-school days? For me most of it’s a blur except the distinct memory of some other little terror sticking his badge pin in my arm - because I was taking too long on the slide! Anyway there is an interesting feature on the Whiteway Pre-school on page 57 which should bring a smile to a few faces. For everyone interested in local history Mike Laslett continues his excellent series on page 27, and we have part 5 of our popular Lifeboat history by Alan Young on page 41. Don’t forget we are always happy to hear from individuals and groups who want to tell us about their interests or increase membership in their chosen activity, we publish this editorial completely free of charge, all we ask is that you get your copy in to us for the 15�� of the month to give us a good chance of printing it in the following edition for you.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 83

Staying Connected By the time that you are reading this we hope that the summer in England has finally arrived. With a wet and windy June, and July seemingly following suit, thoughts of escaping to sunnier climates loomed large in our minds. For many of us a trip abroad doesn’t mean losing touch – we still want, or need, to stay connected. Whether it’s a work commitment, you need access to your emails, or whether you just want to share your sunset pictures, keep your Facebook updated with tonight’s cocktail, and check on how your pets are being cared for whilst you’re away, finding a cost effective solution for staying online will help you enjoy your trip away more. As a company, we’ve faced this issue over the past few years. And we’ve found our solution. It’s called a 3 Mifi System. A Mifi Mobile Broadband unit is a device which connects in 4G or 3G broadband to the 3 network in the UK and to others in Europe or further afield. It is the size of a credit card and 1cm wide meaning it can easily be slipped into your pocket.

It has a battery which lasts for 6 hours and transmits a Wi-Fi network with its own password for you to connect your devices. Up to 10 devices can be connected, whether phones, tablets or laptops. The Mobile Broadband lets you get online quickly and easily when you're on the move. What’s more, there are no extra charges for using your device in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Lanzarote, Macau, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, United States. The MiFi allows the kids to use their iPads, you to get work done, or to simply relax on the internet. We know this for a fact because we use it ourselves. If you would like to know more please get in touch with us.

Local history

Local History - Part 51

Mike Laslett

Just the Ticket

The Napoleonic Wars which concluded in 1815 had been an uncomfortable time for those living on the south coast as the French were only just across the Channel. Even the simplest of souls in Rottingdean could not fail to notice the thousands of volunteer soldiers based in Brighton who rehearsed manoeuvres as part of military reviews on the Downs to the north of Rottingdean and Balsdean. During this time The Rev Dr Thomas Redman Hooker was Vicar of Rottingdean from 1792 to 1838. He was a popular man whose notoriety for helping with smuggling activities probably endeared him to the villagers as much as his educational and pastoral work. During the Napoleonic Wars Dr. Hooker prepared an evacuation plan for the village in the event of invasion by the French. He issued tickets to people for seats in farm wagons in the event of invasion. Amazingly one such ticket survives in the archives of The Rottingdean Preservation Society and is on currently on display in the entrance of The Grange.

Bust depicting Thomas Hooker

His father had been wealthy but lost his fortune when a gunpowder mill in which he invested blew up! This explains why Thomas Hooker supplemented his clerical income by running a school at the Grange to prepare young boys for Eton and Harrow. Among his pupils were the nephews of both Wellington and Napoleon, also Bulwer Lytton and Cardinal Manning. Hooker was also Master of The Hunt.

It is undated but is obviously no later than 1815 when the Napoleonic Wars ended. It is therefore at least two hundred years old yet still clearly shows the personal signature of Dr Hooker. The holder of this ticket was able to take a place in wagon No. 5 belonging to Mr Ingram of The Elms, which was to be driven by Mr Rich, a farm worker. The threat of invasion by the French during the Napoleonic Wars was real and ever present. Over a hundred circular gun towers called Martello Towers were built from Suffolk to Sussex, our nearest being at Seaford. Fortunately the invasion did not happen but on one occasion there was a false alarm when the Rottingdean beacon was accidently lit. Hookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter recalled being dragged from her bed in the middle of the night and carried five miles inland in a wagon.

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Five - 1890 onwards with a brief look forward to the first powered lifeboats. After the "Mexico" disaster and following the success of Mr Macara's initiation of a more widespread national fundraising system several novel ideas were tried. Lever Brothers organised a "Sunlight Soap Competition" which successfully raised funding to provide two new lifeboats. One of these, a 34ft 10 oared selfrighter, built at Cowes, was stationed at Brighton in 1888. It's naming ceremony was carried out in front of several thousand people, despite a snowstorm and was named "Sunlight No 2" by Mrs Richardson the Lady Mayor. Two years later, while on excercise in rough conditions Second Coxswain Beard was injured. The RNLI gave him a reward of ÂŁ15 and paid his medical expenses of ÂŁ4-14-6d. In 1891 the "Ville de Napolean" was driven ashore near Portslade her crew being rescued by the Rocket Apparatus Team. An hour later the "John and Robert" also came ashore and a second attempt at rescue was made by the Rocket Team. However the vessel's crew were so exhausted they were unable to rig the Breeches Buoy lines. When news of the wreckings reached Brighton the Lifeboat Coxswain, without calling out the lifeboat went to the scene on his own. It was three hours later before the lifeboat was called with a further delay due to there being no horses available to tow the boat. Dozens of volunteers pulled the boat along the seafront road to Portslade but by the time they arrived all but one of the crew had drowned. A formal Inquiry followed which dismissed Coxswain Cunningham from the Service and demanded better communications between Coastguards and Lifeboat stations plus improved arrangements for the supply of horses which usually belonged to the local breweries and were used for pulling their delivery drays. Sunlight No 2 served Brighton for 17 years but was launched on service only a few times. One of these, to a lugger which managed to refloat itself safely and continue it's passage was in 1896 - the winter in which the Chain Pier was demolished in a severe storm. In mid 1887 the RNLI employed the first of a series of designers who over the next sixty years created the ultimate in lifeboat designs - messrs Watson, Barnett and Oakley and many of the designs over the years were named after them. Until now every Lifeboat was a pulling boat, usually with auxilliary sails but steam tugs were becoming more reliable and when available were sometimes used for towing lifeboats out to casualties. Watson started to look at the possibility of using steam propulsion and created the first steam powered design. Propeller design was basic and thought to be too vulnerable to damage so he used "Hydraulic propulsion" ie: water-jets, the power coming from a huge centrifugal pump. These new vessels were much larger, heavier and had to remain afloat at all times so could only be used from established harbours. Six variations were built three of which went into service quite quickly. The first of these, the "Duke of Northumberland" at 50ft long, 30 tons and steel hulled was a quantum leap in design. Extremely stable and capable of 9.1knots it remained in service for over thirty years, performing some excellent services. Two more, the "City of Glasgow" and the "Queen" followed after which the RNLI decided to try propeller drive and three more were built with the propellers protected by being built in tunnels which allowed a vessel to ground on a sandbank without damaging the props. One of these, the "James Stevenson No 4" was stationed at Padstow and regretably was the first steam driven vessel to capsize with the loss of eight crew including all four engineers. The Padstow station

reverted to it's pulling/sailing boat although Watson designed them a 230ton twin screw tug to tow them to sea which remained in service for over three decades. On another vessel the boiler exploded killing three of the engineers. However steam propulsion was expensive to run, required four crew just to operate the boiler, was slow to start up and was bunkered with four tons of coal and a ton of water. A variant was tried were oil was sprayed into the fire once started but this was decidedly tricky and trials were cancelled. Because of their many problems steam driven lifeboats lasted only a short period as the new internal combustion engines were smaller, safer, cheaper to run and while still unreliable appeared to be the way forward. Although closely linked with the design of steam vessels Watson was one of the first to realise their limitations and turned his attention towards retro fitting small petrol driven auxilliary engines into existing pulling/sailing lifeboats. G L Watson died in 1904, only 53 years old, and his partner J R Barnett took over as RNLI Head of Design. The first vessel that was fitted with a twin cylinder 9hp engine was the Folkestone boat which performed excellently on trials and was sent not to Folkestone but to Northumberland under the command of Captain Burton. Although well known to the local crew they would have nothing to do with the vessel and it was only later, in bad conditions, after Capt Burton assembled a crew from his battalion and performed an excellent service that the local crew agreed in future to man the boat, but even then on the understanding that the "infernal machine" was entirely his responsibility. The age of petrol driven auxilliary engines had arrived but initially only as retro fits and only very slowly as, apart from the Steam vessels, the entire lifeboat fleet even at the beginning of the twentieth century was still pulling vessels. Around 1910 mechanisation was under way, engines were being installed in new builds but still only as auxilliaries. The future design of powered lifeboats regretably was now delayed as the country was being forced to face more significant challenges from across the channel. If your village, school, club,etc. are having an event in which you would like the RNLI to be a part, or to have a talk or a station visit please give Margaret Kimber a ring on 07786 446 901. Compiled by Alan Young 07950 224122.

Neighbourhood Watch

New PCSO Role New PCSO role introduced to pro-actively problem solve and tackle local issues. The following is an extract from Assistant Chief Constable Laurence Taylor's recent press release:

rather than one individual to be contacted by phone, email or via the web.

"From 4th July, Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) equipped with enhanced powers and skills, started their new role. The PCSO role has evolved since it was introduced 13 years ago with the specific aim to be visible in the community; and they will continue to conduct patrols. However, these patrols will be targeted to areas where they know they can make a difference. They will be helping prevent crimes such as burglary and anti-social behaviour and complete tasks in ways that are proven to reduce crime and keep people safe.

The new role has been specifically developed in line with changing demands in policing and reshaping our service to make it as effective as possible to meet the needs of the community. Sussex Police faces the challenge of operating with new demands against a shrinking budget, however, the force is determined to make policing services more effective, rather than less so.

They will be an integral part of larger teams solving local problems, carrying out basic investigations, working alongside partners and directly with witnesses and victims to respond to community issues. Making use of mobile technology, PCSO's will access information whilst out in the community. The flexible nature of their new role means they can work when and where they are needed, logging on remotely, as well as working from police and shared premises. It is important that communities can speak to their PCSOs and police officers when they need them or if they have information to pass on. Now they will have a team to access

The new policing model for Sussex focuses on protecting vulnerable people and catching criminals. We will always be there when people need us". Be assured that Saltdean, Rottingdean & Ovingdean NHW committee will be monitoring the situation closely to ensure that the new system works within in our area!!!!! It is even more important that residents become NHW members in order to receive regular information of what is happening in the area.

I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give why generally women get more lower back problems then men because these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally WORTH THE WAIT! call it life.

News from Cinema Saltdean

Cinema News Cinema Saltdean is on holiday - so we thought we’d send you a postcard Big business, QVC, the Australian outback, nice frocks & a visit to Glyndebourne all await you in our new season

A Deans Magazine exclusive August is a funny month and so for that reason the volunteers all go off to their Barbados retreats and contemplate the upcoming season of films. (Actually more likely Hove or Cromer than Barbados but contemplate they do.) Cinema Saltdean’s recent successful season has put us in a better place to continue to bring you entertainment for the year ahead. We never forget that Cinema Saltdean is cinema for the people: it’s your cinema and you have a say in what we screen. So, congratulations for picking good things that appeal to your fellow cinemagoers. The new season starts on September 27�� with the audience choice 'Joy', an engrossing look at a business created by one woman whose family of ‘supporters’ do their level best to derail her whole enterprise. Excellent performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Di Niro. Looking ahead to December (it’s not that far off!), as I promised the audiences in June and July, we have a rare treat. Once a year, Cinema Saltdean is proud to support the hugely worthwhile charity The Children’s Society: a Charity working to support vulnerable children in England and Wales. In an exclusive for The Deans magazine, I can reveal that, in December 2016, Glyndebourne will come to Saltdean! We will be screening the Glyndebourne production of Donizetti’s comic opera “L’Elisir D’Amore”. Not an opera buff myself, I was a bit sceptical about the choice: I now feel like I’ve seen the light. This production is simply stunning - so much so, I wanted a second look. On the big screen at the hall, it is truly captivating; the staging and the singing are extraordinary and the set captures perfectly, life in a small Mediterranean village. Add to that a pin sharp image and it’s as good as being at the opera. Here is a chance to experience the delights and unique atmosphere of Glyndebourne for the price of your monthly Cinema Saltdean film: normal film price held; and if you fancy a glass of bubbly, you can buy one in the interval. We are massively indebted to both the Royal Opera House and Glyndebourne who have sponsored this event by allowing us to screen the production at no cost (can be over £200). Their generosity means that every penny of your ticket money - and all bar takings - will go to The Children’s Society. If you’re still not convinced, then how about our October film “The Dressmaker” with the magnetic Kate Winslet: once again chosen wisely by you. The November film will be one that has been decided by July’s audience, so more later on that! So here’s to us all meeting again after the hols and enjoying that special atmosphere that you have helped to create: for this, all of the volunteers want to thank YOU. Happy holidays everyone! Jon

Tues. 27th Sept at 7.30pm “JOY” (12A) Tues. 25th Oct “The Dressmaker” (12)

Tues. 22nd Nov TBD by our audience Tues. 20th Dec “L’Elisir d’Amore” (U)

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve

Friends of Beacon Hill Friends of Beacon Hill are a group of volunteers who aim to manage, maintain and improve our local nature reserve under the guidance of our dedicated BHCC Ranger, Emma. Recent activity has been focused on maintaining the paths in the North Wood (the South Wood has been left completely to nature without any pathways). We are lucky to have Skylarks regularly nesting on Beacon Hill and have erected several posts around the nature reserve asking people and their dogs to stick to the paths to help minimise disturbance to nests and highlight their plight. Skylarks are ground nesting birds, raising 2-3 broods between April and early August and are a Red List species due to dramatic declines in populations. Currently we are focusing our efforts on chalk infill on the lower path in the North Woods to repair the eroded pathway. Our summer activities will be focused on the pulling of ragwort to curb its population and spread, it smothers the calcareous wildflowers and is toxic when ingested by horses and cattle. In the autumn we will be 'scrub bashing' to manage the brambles and scrub that creep from the woods onto the reserve.

Friends of Beacon Hill Volunteers

Wood and carpentry expertise have been donated and a number of bird/bat boxes are now available for sponsorship. These boxes will be erected in the woods in the autumn, hopefully being inhabited by new wildlife next spring. A stall will be manned at the Rottingdean Village Fair on 6�� August where we will have our bird/bat boxes on display and looking for sponsors. We will also be raffling off a quilt that has been made and donated by a local quilter. We are raising funds to add new (and repair existing) benches on the Nature Reserve. We are a happy bunch of volunteers and welcome newcomers with open arms. We meet on the first Tuesday and third Thursday of each month at the Longhill Road, Ovingdean, entrance to Beacon Hill. Future dates being regular Tuesday/Thursday sessions on 2ⁿ�/18�� August . We are also holding our quarterly weekend outing 12��/13�� August.
