Welcome

Welcome to the February Edition From January we have taken on a new team member - Frances - who will be handling our Social Media ‘stuff’, as a teenager I know she is far better qualified to deal with it than me, I’m still trying to get to grips with Facebook! I’d guess I’m not the only one who joined a gym in January, however in my defence I have been running regularly I just decided I’d rather go somewhere dry during the seemingly endless rainy season. If you enjoy the great outdoors whatever the weather how about joining Friends of Beacon Hill? The Friends are an enthusiastic bunch of volunteers who look after the Beacon Hill nature reserve in the heart of the Deans countryside, see page 37 for more information. Our 10�� anniversary look back at past issues continues on our Facebook and Instagram pages with some of our most colourful covers from the last decade, so do check it out and feel free to comment and let us know if there are other pictures or stories you would like to see again. I’ll finish with my usual request to keep the local news coming in, readers love knowing what is going on, and we have lots of space to include your stories, group news and events. Samantha - Editor

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 125

10 Years of Advice We have been reliably informed that we have been writing for the Deans Magazine now for over 10 years. Back in 2010 we wrote about understanding how to use your technology, be it your computer, your smart phone or your iPod. Now that point we all had a giggle about – iPods! Who remembers those? And who still has one stashed away somewhere? And does anyone still use them? Our chortles were cut short however when the news article with corresponding “here is the evidence” image was published last month. An entire decade on from us giving advice about the iPod and who should be seen sporting one? Only one of the world’s most famous football players, Cristiano Ronaldo. The article was full of exclamation marks, and confusion over why someone so wealthy would choose to take a step backwards in their choice of technology. We are in no position to surmise why Mr Ronaldo opted for an iPod and aren’t about to try. But this does appear to be becoming a bit of a trend – nostalgia for technology; a rare early version of the Apple computer was sold in 2018 for £285,000 at an auction in Boston. That’s a very expensive acquisition for a bit of very outdated technology. Nostalgia is by no way limited to technology – classic cars have none of the mod cons that we are used to in today’s vehicles, but we still cherish them and pay out vast sums of money for them. So why not computers and other gadgets? And so, it is with interest that we await 2030 and see what has become “trendy” and what we will be laughing at by then. We have no crystal ball and are unwilling to take a guess, but we are looking forward to seeing how technology will both evolve and will embrace nostalgia.

Clifden House News

Life After a Dementia Diagnosis Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre offers his advice for those caring for a loved one living with dementia and how you can learn to live with the challenges posed by the disease. Do your research A dementia diagnosis, although not the end of life, is life changing and it will eventually affect all aspects of you and your loved one’s futures. Therefore, it is important to learn as much as you can about the disease, how it is likely to develop and ways in which you can prepare for the challenges ahead. It is natural to be afraid of the unknown, so the more you learn, the less daunting the future will seem. Personality changes are inevitable As a physical disease, dementia causes a build-up of proteins in the brain, forming plaques that break down the brain’s nerve cells and disrupt connections, resulting in damage to brain tissues. This damage leads to changes in personality and is often extremely distressing for loved ones to come to terms with. Remember, it is the disease causing these changes and your loved one is not responsible for them. Hold on to your memories of the person they were before the disease took hold, as that is their true personality. Accept their new life Once you have accepted that dementia will alter your partner’s personality it is perfectly natural to grieve their loss. It is important that you learn to love them as they are now, with the disease. Perhaps they were always active and on the go, but now prefer to sit quietly, listening to music or watching TV. Join in with their activities whenever you can, and you may still see glimmers of their old personality peeping through.

Don’t do it alone Caring for a loved one with dementia is emotionally and physically demanding and it is vital that you ask for and accept help. Research local dementia support groups and online forums and attend social events and meet ups if you can. Don’t allow yourself to become isolated as this will have a negative impact on both your lives. As the disease progresses consider respite care for your loved one, giving you both a break. You cannot care for someone if you aren’t taking care of yourself and nobody can do it all by themselves. Clifden House Dementia Care Centre offers a vibrant and active environment, as well as a home for family, friends and carers to spend quality time with their loved one. We provide full residential care, as well as short term respite and day care. Our experienced care team is on hand to offer help and advice on caring for a loved one with dementia, whatever the stage of their illness. This year Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, celebrates 50 years of delivering exceptional care in Sussex. As a leader in specialist dementia care it aims to facilitate each person to continue to live a fulfilling and active life with privacy, dignity and security. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Sound Healing Tuning Forks, Bowls and Gongs We have used sound since time began; using the voice, sticks, stones, animal hides, pipes, reeds, leaves and many things from nature to either soothe or stimulate us for a variety of purposes. Sound healing is the conscious therapeutic application of sound frequencies to a person, with the intention of restoring health. Sound has been used in temples, rituals and religious practices since recorded history. The most natural form of sound healing is the lullaby, which is instinctively sung to soothe a babe in arms, and is naturally accompanied by the heartbeat of the person holding the child. Tuning Forks are a fundamental tool that allows us to create precision frequencies. The aluminium forks make an audible sound and can be played in a room or directed towards an area of the body. The stainless steel forks are less audible and usually the non vibrating end is placed on a person's body to transmit a specific frequency to a particular part of the body. Singing Bowls are played by striking or by rotating a mallet around the outside rim to produce a musical note. Much as you would with your finger around the top of a glass of wine, making a different note for different volumes of wine! These are said to originate in China, pre-dating Buddha. Some are designed to resonate more into the atmosphere, while others more to resonate into the body when placed on it; some do both! Originally made of metal, there are now crystal versions available. Gongs are played by striking them with a mallet. They are generally played hanging on a stand and smaller ones can also be carried around. Each gong is individually made and even though they may be tuned to a particular frequency, each one has its own unique character. Modern medicine uses sound for diagnostics and treatment. Diagnostically the Stethoscope is used to listen to heart and lung sounds. Ultrasound is used to monitor the development of an unborn baby and to assess the function of the heart and other organs. Ultrasound is also used for treatment using high intensity ultrasonic waves combined with MR thermometry (temperature measurement) to target and treat diseased tissue. Focused ultrasound is used to treat essential tremor and uterine fibroids and is being studied for treatment of breast lesions, tumours of brain and bone, heart rhythm conditions and more. Science and Experiments: · Sound can modify DNA: In 2011, Russia biophysicist Pjotr Garjajev conducted experiments to modify DNA using sound and light frequencies only. Frog embryos were successfully transformed into salamander embryos by transmitting the DNA information patterns via frequencies alone. · Sound can levitate: In 2015, a team of scientists built a device that can levitate and manipulate small objects in the air. Theoretically if the sound were amplified enough, much larger objects could be levitated. · Sound can boil water: In 2008, 92 year old saxophonist and inventor, Peter Davey, created a device that boils water in seconds, using only sound waves. He calls it the "sonic boiler". How the heater actually works had confounded experts.

· Sound can create light: Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. In the laboratory, it can be made to be stable, so that a single bubble will expand and collapse over and over again in a periodic fashion, emitting a burst of light each time it collapses. · Sound moves faster than light: In 2007, US scientists experimentally demonstrated that sound pulses can travel at velocities faster than the speed of light. They designed an unusual waveguide to make sound move at 'superluminal' speeds. The underlying waves that make up the pulse remain at subluminal velocities, so no information, matter or energy actually travels faster than light! Until now superluminal acoustic waves have only existed in theory. · Sound can kill viruses: In 2008, research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be de-activated. This arises from an inherent characteristics of all objects called "resonant frequency": the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates. Laser pulses tuned to the right frequency can shake the capsid, or shell of a virus. Locating these frequencies is the challenge! What to Expect from a Gong Bath Sound Relaxation The participant generally lays down, either on a yoga mat or treatment couch, depending on the location. It is also possible to sit in a chair where laying down is uncomfortable or impractical. Wear warm clothing and it is good to have a warm cosy blanket. You just lay down and relax and let the sounds wash over you. These can vary from bells, bowls, rattles and shakers to various sizes of gongs, occasionally there may be silence. This is usually a relaxing experience similar to meditation and people often fall asleep. Occasionally, some of the sounds produced may seem strange. My Experience with Sound Therapy I have worked with sound therapy for 35 years; initially using tuning forks with Fabien Maman, then Peter Goldman. My most recent passion is gongs and bowls. My intention is always to ground and balance a person where they are and invite healing in to where it is needed for them and their body. Even though it is relaxing, I like to make sure people are fit to function in the world when they leave. Gong Bath Sound Relaxation Wednesdays 2:15-2:45pm at Saltdean Lido £4.50 drop in.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve We’re on a roll this year – 2 months in and we’ve already had an additional 2 impromptu sessions. If the weather continues to play ball and the volunteers continue to be as keen as mustard there will be many more impromptu sessions this spring. This does, however, beg the question when does impromptu become the norm ….. I’ll get back to you on that one !! We had a meeting with our ranger to sketch out a rough works program for 2020 and have a discussion on the maintenance of the Nature Reserve. The sheep have yet to arrive for their spring graze as there has been a loss of electronic fence distributor in the UK and BHCC are having to look further afield for a new supplier. Once we are able to lay our hands on this new fencing the sheep will be back to continue their good work. Whilst not ideal, we hope that missing the autumn graze will not impact too badly on our management plan and we look forward to another fabulous show of downland flowers again this summer.

The 2020 workplan looks like this : Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr : scrub bash and sheep moving May-Jun : light scrub bash and woodland path maintenance Jul-Aug : hoary cress and ragwort pulling Sep-Oct-Nov-Dec : scrub bash and sheep moving Once again Beacon Hill will be tagging onto the Ovingdean Village Clean Up Day on 22ⁿ� February from 10 until 12. Litter pickers and bags will be available at the Longhill Road Entrance to the Nature Reserve (that’s the North end). We always look forward to having new members so come along and join in the conservation conversation. Please join us in sturdy footwear, gardening gloves and, if you have them, bring secateurs.

Local Hypnotherapist - Chrissy Huffman

What is Hypnotherapy? “What’s Hypnotherapy and how does it work?”, I wondered many years ago. But I felt drawn to try it for myself and I’m so glad I did. After the first session I felt like a great weight had been lifted, which I hadn’t realised I’d been carrying. My mind was clearer, thoughts were more positive and I had my mojo back. I’ve since qualified as a solution-focused hypnotherapist. I’m registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register and the Complimentary & Natural Health Council as well as being fully insured. I gained two medical degrees (Foundation & Bachelor of Science), including mental health modules, during my previous career as a Paramedic Practitioner. My 15 years in the ambulance service has given me an ability to be calm in any situation, nonjudgmental and honest. I have integrity and advanced skills in building rapport and communication. I really like hypnotherapy as it’s a way of breaking out of bad habits, letting go of repetitive behaviour and stepping into a sense of freedom and clarity. Sessions involve solution-focused therapy where I get you perceiving the problem in a different way, which makes it more manageable; there’s a lot more to this part but that’s the gist. We then transition into deeply relaxing and enjoyable hypnotherapy. Here I will use the information you’ve given me, combined with a number of techniques and my creativity to work directly with the unconscious mind. This work will unlock unhelpful patterns, ease emotions around memories and then set you up with your desired outcome. I have never known a more effective therapy, which works quickly and lasts.

Reviews “I come out of a session 100% more positive and with a boost of energy which is still with me 3 month's later.” Alison - Shoreham “I can't recommend Chrissy enough....she's totally amazing, professional and has a natural ability to help you to find more in yourself so you can lead a more positive, healthy and happy lifestyle. Thank you Chrissy x.” Debbie - Saltdean “I’ve been a heavy smoker most of my life and actually did enjoy smoking… I saw Chrissy at the clinic… I have not had a cigarette since. I would highly recommend Chrissy.” Nikki - Brighton I do Facebook live streams of techniques, information and my thoughts, so have a look and you can get a feel if I’m the person for you. These videos can also be found on my YouTube channel. Hypnotherapy can help with: ● Weight loss ● Stopping smoking/vaping, other bad habits ● Anxiety ● Stress ● Grief ● Relationship problems ● Low mood ● Feeling stuck ● Motivation ● Resilience ● Finding direction and so much more… 07306 504321 chrissy@mybrighterfuture.co.uk mybrighterfuture.co.uk Facebook page Brighter future hypnotherapy Instagram brighterfuturehypnotherapy YouTube Chrissy Huffman

Local history - Article 93

The King and I Mike Laslett

Last month I wrote about George I, II and III, whose military expenditure indirectly funded a convent at Rottingdean Place. This month we discover that George VI similarly visited the area north of Rottingdean with military matters in mind! The site in Bazehill Road is now occupied by Bazehill Manor, which is built on the site of an earlier twentieth century house called Seadowns.

Seadowns

Hilda Martin

1936 Seadowns Pupils

Bazehill Manor

Miss Hilda Martin lived in Woolwich and worked as a nurse in World War One. Having many military contacts, she went to India in 1923 where she became governess to the children of high-ranking British diplomats, including friends of Rudyard Kipling. On returning to England in 1936 she decided to design and build a home which she could use as a nursery school for her young charges. Seadowns was built at 27 Bazehill Road in 1936. See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

When war was declared, the school comprised nine children, four boys and five girls, aged between one and nine years. Miss Martin initially evacuated the school to Hereford but this area too was evacuated so in 1941 she took her charges to Ottawa in Canada. A typical pupil at this time was Anne Hancock, whose father was the Chief Irrigation Officer in the Punjab for eight years. Ironically the school was then requisitioned for war purposes and hosted Canadian troops. When they were in residence preparing for D Day the 1ďż˝ďż˝ Tank Battalion received a visit from King George VI.

King George VI with Canadian Troops 11 February 1943

The civilian in the front row is Vincent Massey, who The King was to appoint Governor General of Canada after the war. You may recall his brother Raymond Massey who played the part of Dr Gillespie in Dr Kildare. There were many Canadian troops in the area. Some were billeted in houses in Dean Court Road with no heating and the soldiers ripped out the skirting boards to light fires. Even more severe damage was done to Balsdean village which was evacuated and used as target practice.

Above, left and top right damaged buildings in Balsdean after it was used for target practise.

An entirely different activity was courting the local girls. Some, like Jerry Jobsey who is commemorated in Rottingdean Churchyard, even stayed and married a local girl after the war.

Canadian Tanks

Miss Hancock and her charges returned to the school in 1945. One of the pupils remembers the floors having to be sanded as the soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boots had made them so rough. The school closed in 1962 and became Seadowns Nursing Home in 1963, accommodating up to seventeen residents. The property was put on the market in 1987 but it not until the property was sold in 2001 that the last residents left. The property was considered unsuitable for modern needs. It was demolished and replaced by the existing block of apartments known as Balsdean Manor, whose first residents arrived in 2005.

Digital Footprints Everyone has a digital footprint Every time you use social media, buy or sell something online, visit any kind of website, send or receive an email, find your way using a mapping app or save a photo to the cloud, you add to your digital footprint. The same goes for downloading music, making Skype calls and using a voice assistant. Every time you post a photo of your children or your friends, you add to their digital footprint too. Do you ever think about exactly what you’re doing online, who can see it and what they could do with it? Your digital footprint is part of your online history and can potentially be seen by other people or tracked and held in a database even if you are careful with your privacy settings. What happens when you have a digital footprint? ● Companies can target you with specific marketing content on social media & other websites. ● Advertisers can track your movement from site to site to gauge your areas of interest. ● Prospective employers can look into your and family members’ backgrounds. ● Putting too much information into the public domain could allow family members or friends to become victims of fraud or identity theft. ● Records of your online activity could fall into the wrong hands. ● Tech companies such as browser and search engine providers can track and record what you’ve searched and viewed. This, in turn, could be shared with other parties including law enforcement agencies.

How to minimise your digital footprint, or make sure it’s a good one: ● Don’t overshare information about yourself, family or friends that would be better kept private on social media, websites and apps requesting details and in response to texts and messages. ● Think before you post. No guarantee your posts or photos will not be shared even if your social media privacy settings are set up correctly. ● Be aware that every time you visit a website, it’s visible to tech companies like website owners. Browsers & search engines. ● Check geolocation settings on mobile devices, apps and cameras. If you don’t want anyone to know where you are, or where you have been, disable them. ● Before providing any personal date or making transactions read terms & conditions & data privacy policies on websites and apps. If you are not comfortable with information being requested, don’t provide it. What can they do with your data, and why would you agree to it? Never stop enjoying the many excellent benefits of using the internet, but always bear in mind what digital trail you are leaving, who may be able to access it and how they may be able to use it.

Upcoming Event & Fund Raising News

The Big Fix 2020 th February 15 2020 is The Big Fix 2020, the world’s biggest day of repair, and The Deans are joining in. th We are launching the Deans Repair Cafe on Feb 15 at Saltdean Community Hall, Saltdean Park Rd, BN2 8SP with the aim to encourage more people to repair and reuse items rather than replace them with new stuff. Our mission is to: Fix rather than throw Keep useful items out of landfill Share and learn new skills We throw away vast amounts of stuff, even things with almost nothing wrong and which could get a new lease on life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. Knowing how to make repairs is a skill quickly lost. Society doesn’t always show much appreciation for the people who still have this practical knowledge, and against their will they are often left standing on the sidelines. Their experience is never used, or hardly ever.

Our Repair Cafe is a social event (with cake!) where you can learn to repair your things using our tools with help from volunteers. The types of things we will try and fix are bikes, clothing and textiles, crockery, small electronics, tool sharpening – the list will grow as we grow. If we cannot fix your item, you will be expected to take it home and dispose of it yourself. We hope that people will make a donation for their fixed items to cover the cost of materials. To do this, we need your help! We are asking the Deans residents if they have any skills that they can bring to the Repair Cafe to share their knowledge and expertise in a fun way that will encourage all of us to see our possessions – and ourselves – in a different light. To find our more information, whether as a volunteer or needing a repair, please contact us via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/24628426839935 70/ or email deansrepaircafe@gmail.com

2019 Poppy Appeal News The final total for the 2018 Poppy Appeal amounted to £20,026, a huge total for our small collecting area, for which the Poppy Appeal thanks you very much. The 2019 Appeal was not so successful, which we were anticipating. To date, the amount raised by R�� C��, which includes Saltdean, Ovingdean and Brighton Marina, is £15,450, of which £2,070 was collected on the Village Green on Remembrance Sunday by Major Ali Pringle and the Longhill School CCF, whom we thank for their continued participation. W��, which collects separately, raised £1,546.24.

Charity Craftathon Saltdean resident Ms Jennifer Drewett. is taking part in a charity challenge with two others and would like to tell us about the charity they are raising money for and why the cause is so important… We are embarking on a 12 hour charity craftathon challenge. We will spend 12 hours making items we normally sell including handmade vegan soaps, keyrings and jewellery. We will start from 10am an work until 10pm on Saturday 28�� March 2020. We will be streaming the challenge live on my Twitch channel and offering a sale on items we make during the challenge. We are doing this to raise money in aid of Martlets Hospice (Registered charity no: 802145). This hospice has been running since 1997 providing a variety of services to people affected by terminal illness local to Brighton & Hove. Some of their services include outpatient physiotherapy, symptom management and end of life care. The work of places like Martlets has always been valuable to society but in the wake of rampant cuts to NHS services their importance cannot be understated. All services across the NHS have been detrimentally affected under austerity. Access to important medical attention is increasingly limited and the wait times for treatment are, in some places, years’ long. When someone is facing up to life altering conditions such as cancer this can mean the difference between life and death. Austerity has affected all facets of British life but it arguably hits hardest for those accessing NHS treatment for potentially terminal conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease and Parkinson’s disease. Their situations are already incredibly difficult physically and emotionally without delays to treatment that could prolong their lives if not save them. The service provided by Martlets is an absolute life-line for folks in need of their services but they can only continue to do what they do with funding.

Cinema Saltdean

Rocketman Singalong (Cert 15)

Put on your singing trousers and head down to Cinema Saltdean ‘Rocketman’ is a fantasy biopic, a roller-coaster of a film that is unashamedly big, brash colourful; and in debt to the Hollywood musical tradition. This isn’t a bad thing and contributes at times to the frantic world that was the developing career of Elton John. The film manages to cram in explicit references to drugs, sex and rock and roll, and one of Elton’s suicide attempts. Like a con man it manages this whilst maintaining a sheen and pace that makes you look the other way; looking for the next hit single to come along. What do I hear you say? Is this supposed to cheer us up during horrid February? Drugs and suicide attempts?! Well, yes, in a word; the strength of the film lies in its telling the story of the legend whilst keeping matters going at a colourful, stonking pace. The dance sequence accompanying ‘Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting’ could have been plucked from a latter day ‘Guys and Dolls’ or even ‘West Side Story’ I’m not sure you will learn anything that you didn’t already know about Sir Elton or that you couldn’t have read in the tabloids. It is a frank and unambiguous look at the life of a gay man in the music business but this is more fun than a copy of The Sun, with the hits coming thick and fast from ‘Your Song’ to ‘I’m Still Standing’ (complete with Kiki Dee lookalike). Elton had editorial control over the film so I imagine some matters were painted out but if you are looking for a good night out and like the music, then the film provides the vehicle that will take you there. We have gone for a screening of the Singalong version. so have a good gargle before you come out. Taron Egerton (‘Eddie the Eagle’, ‘Kingsman’) is engaging as Elton John, whisking us through the life and times of Mr John without dwelling on

too much fine detail. From Elton’s humble beginnings, under the harsh, unforgiving, scrutiny of his discouraging father, when music was a faint interest, to major success. The film charts the progress of Elton from his first piano fingering, through his piano lessons, to his admittance to the Royal Academy of Music. Then, onwards, through playing ‘the good ol’ pubs of Stepney’ and eventually world domination as one of the U.K.’s biggest exports. The film changes gear fairly swiftly and, after Elton’s moderate success in the U.K., going on to take America by storm, getting a break at the ‘Troubadour’ the famous jazz club, in which he performed ‘Crocodile Rock’ - an instance success. This sequence is pivotal both in the film and in charting Elton’s meteoric rise to world domination. Look out for the floating audience. Pacey direction by Dexter Fletcher (‘Eddie the Eagle', ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ & ‘Sunshine in Earth’) Jon Next month: Renee Zellweger is Judy Garland in ‘Judy’ in her 1968 London sold-out tour.

Rocket Man Tuesday 25�� February 2020 Doors: 7:00pm. Film 7:30pm (Duration 2 hours 1 min)

Local Project

The Saltdean Tunnel Vision: Help us celebrate our heritage Nearly 90 years ago the Saltdean Tunnel was carved out of our cliffs with much blood, sweat and pride by the very men you see before you. As the ‘gateway’ to the beach and undercliff walk, it remains one of the defining features of the seafront. But unfortunately, rather than being a focal point of pride, the tunnel has become increasingly tired and neglected. Which is why we’re on a mission to put this right – and ensure that the legacy created by those that came before us is treated with the love and respect it truly deserves.

The New ‘Welcome To Saltdean’ sign Designed and created by local metal workers this spectacular sign will withstand the rigours of the seafront, only requiring the occasional wipe down to keep it fresh.

A mock up of how the mural might look.

The Mural Hand-Painted on the south end of the tunnel (currently magnolia) by award-winning Brighton based artists, SOS and Reg. The mural will reflect eh wealth of marine life on our doorstep and create a 360 degree immersive experience so the the viewer will feel that they too are underwater. It will be created with weatherproof paint, complete with graffiti proof and wipe clean covering.

Tunnel construction crew

Our vision: To rejuvenate Saltdean Tunnel with a beautiful ‘Welcome’ Sign, mural and matching noticeboard, to achieve this we need the financial support of the local people.

The community noticeboard A new noticeboard will display information about Saltdean’s proud history plus upcoming events and services which will mean that people will no longer have to post their signs on the railings at each end of the tunnel. The Council’s Contribution Cleaning the brickwork; repairing cracks; replacing the lighting; painting the turquoise railings.

For organisations, families and individuals with deeper pockets, we are offering named bricks (in the same way that the Lido raised money a few years ago) that will be lined along the mural. These are a great way to celebrate your life in Saltdean and to remember a loved one. £100 - small brick on which 2 lines of 16 characters can fit. £200 - medium brick (4 lines x 16 characters) £500 - large brick (6 lines of 16 characters) However, much you can afford to donate, you can be assured that your contribution will be greatly appreciated – and it will make a difference.

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions News I am pleased to report that our fundraising activities have recently supported, for example, the Senior Citizens Christmas lunches, which in December had two sittings with 71 senior citizens booked at a net cost to the Lions of £725. These meals were thoroughly enjoyed. We are always looking to find people that need help in our community. If you know someone in need please do ask them to get in touch with us so that we can see if we can help. It will soon be time to have a go at winning one of our very special Easter Eggs.

These venues will be listed on our website, for your information. With such good odds, please pop along and have a punt.

for example, but your assistance would be most welcome and much needed.

Local Therapist

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue. I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space. I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, myofascia is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments. The cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I am highly

trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Local ‘Wildlife’ Feature

The Tame Fox A couple from Woodingdean, have seemingly tamed a red fox Marilyn Cooper and Michael Peters who live together in Woodingdean, heard that foxes were vicious, but having spent one year living with one, the couple now have a different view of these wild animals. Marilyn explained: “I first noticed a fox poking it’s nose through our cat flap one morning around December 2018.” Her partner Michael stated that he “didn’t believe her at first”, until he also saw a fox snout poking through the cat flap. They noticed a large red fox a few weeks later in the garden in broad daylight, sitting comfortably on the fence while Marilyn was gardening. Marilyn said: “It was like a dog keeping me company.’” Soon after, whenever they had a BBQ, the fox would come and sit with them and they would all feed it BBQ meat, such as burgers and sausages, by hand.

According to the couple, the fox was coming to their back door three times a day for food by June 2019. A few months later, Marilyn said that “a different fox turned up”, which they believed to be male. This fox was described by Marilyn as a little braver than the previous fox and has since been named Frankie. Marilyn said that “Frankie plays fetch with a ball, sits on the fence, enjoys eating eggs and has stolen Michaels golf shoes a number of times”. But, the couples favourite encounter with Frankie so far, is when Marilyn walked into the conservatory to see him sat nestled on their sofa. Marilyn and Michael hope that their story inspires others to look out for foxes instead of just being wary of them. Marilyn adds “We have taken away many parts of these fox’s natural habitat and they’re just looking elsewhere for survival”.
