Welcome

Welcome to the November Edition Last month I got back to sports activity with the RISE 8K run, see page 29 for my report on this, as well as participating in wheelchair basketball with the Sussex Bears: www.sussexbears.co.uk/wheelchair It was my first try in a wheel chair as well as my first go at basketball but thanks to the coaches infinite patience and great sense of humour proved to be a really fun activity. It’s a fully inclusive sport so you don’t have to be a wheelchair user to take part, indeed they are happy to visit schools so children can try it out and over a six week period introduced more than 1500 new people to it. I’d like to mention Moonlight Healing - see January 19 for full review - as I went back in early October to see if Reiki could help with my recovery from surgery, the answer in my case was yes, though I’m still at a loss as to how the technique works, I just accept that it does: www.moonlighthealing.co.uk We have lots going on in this edition, including advice for dealing with cold weather on page 51 and an initiative by the Brighton Lions Club on page 59 which offers financial support to those who really struggle with winter fuel bills. Please keep the community news coming in we love hearing from you and our readers clearly like to get involved with new activities too. Samantha - Editor

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 122

Time is Up! If you are a regular reader of this column you may recall that we wrote in 2018 about Windows 7 support coming to an end. Having been launched in 2009, support for Windows 7 ends in January 2020 – that is only two months away. We are aware of a huge number of both home users and businesses who are still using the Windows 7 operating system – so are you all ok to stick with it? Do you really need the hassle of upgrading to Windows 10? The short answer is yes. And here are the reasons why. Why Should I Upgrade From Windows 7? Unless you are a business who is willing and able to pay, you will no longer receive any security patches. This leaves your computer vulnerable to attacks because it effectively leaves portals on your system that hackers can exploit. Even if you

have a really good anti-virus without the security patches hackers can find a way into your systems. In addition to the security risk, those who have upgraded to Windows 10 have found that there is a big difference in speed, particularly on start up. If you are using your computer for work, you will be aware of how important time is and losing time every day because of a slow machine can be particularly frustrating. As frustrating as a slow machine is, having your systems breached by a cyber attack will be much more painful. Windows 10 was designed with security at the forefront and was developed for the modern computing world. Look how much we have seen change in the world of technology since 2009 – Windows 10 has evolved to keep pace with security threats and unless you update your systems you will become an open target for the ever-prowling cyber criminals.

Clifden House News

Signs A Loved One May Not Be Coping At Home Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, looks at some of the warning signs that suggest additional support, in the form of residential care, is needed for a dementia sufferer. 1. Not eating: Many dementia sufferers display a marked decrease in appetite and a lack of motivation to prepare meals, especially if they live alone. This places them at risk of malnutrition that, even in its mildest form, impairs the immune system and increases the risk of infections. In a specialist care setting like Clifden House, residents are provided with nutritious, home cooked meals to ensure their dietary needs are met. 2. Decreased self-care: Dementia sufferers often stop paying attention to their own personal needs, such as forgetting to take medication, missing health appointments, not getting dressed and a general decrease in pride in their appearance. This decline in selfcare and self-confidence can prompt a withdrawal from the world and isolation.

If you are a carer it is important to remember that your needs are as important as those of the dementia sufferer. If you are struggling to cope with the emotional and physical demands of your role then it may be time to consider residential care. This decision is often reached following a crisis such as a fall or medical emergency. Depending on the severity, dementia sufferers may go into a dementia care home, such as Clifden House, as a crisis admission for respite care prior to a decision being made regarding their long-term needs. This year Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, celebrates 50 years of delivering exceptional care in Seaford. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460

3. Home safety: While adaptations to the home can help reduce the risk of falls, these can only go so far and if the person exhibits increased confusion combined with frailty it might be wise to seek professional care. 4. Wandering: Dementia can reduce a person’s awareness of dangers and combined with periods of confusion that can result in ‘wandering’ in search of ‘familiar’ places. This can put the person in quite precarious and dangerous situations. 5. Behavioural changes: These can be among the most distressing symptoms of the disease. This can include aggression (verbally and physically), agitation, delusions and hallucinations. These can be tricky to manage and professional help is advised.

Bridgefordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Bites

Musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Issues Facing the Music Playing music is usually a much beloved hobby or profession. It takes many years of study to become proficient or begin to master an instrument, often requiring long hours of dedicated practice. Unless you are playing as a requirement of your parents or school system, you are unlikely to choose to invest the time and effort that is required unless it is a labour of love. Physical problems can arise from playing musical instruments, depending on the instrument, your body posture while playing and the amount of time spent playing. Many of the physical problems encountered by musicians relate to lifting and carrying large and heavy equipment, often in awkward spaces and also when cold and/or tired. Other common problems relate to repetitive strain, overplaying, poor posture, poor technique and some instruments simply require an awkward position. Neck and Upper Back: Awkward positions in the neck are required in playing the flute and violin. Holding a heavy guitar on a strap for a long time while playing can create problems in the neck, where the nerves can be squeezed and radiate pain down the arm and wrist. Classical guitarists use a foot stand and hold the guitar in a particular way for a reason! Hanging a saxophone or other instrument off the neck can also create problems, there are more supportive back straps that can help alleviate this problem. I can only imagine how a French horn feels. Long hours of piano and keyboard playing can also stress the upper back and neck unless postural correction is applied. Intense drumming or leaning in towards a cello, harp, double bass or hand drum, etc. can also stress this area. Lower Back: This is mostly affected by lifting, though can also be affected by holding an instrument, particularly if it is for a long time or if your posture is less optimal, also if you are in an awkward position! Legs, Hips, Knees, Ankles, Feet: Affected by long hours of standing, dancing, pedalling of harp, organ and base drum, etc. Arms, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, Hands: Playing all forms of instruments that use sticks or bows, as well as strumming and plucking strings can affect the wrists and hands if the position is awkward or forced, the grip is too tight and also if there is repetitive strain. The hand position can be affected by the arm position, neck and upper back and vice versa. Wrist and hand strain can occur from incorrect technique at the keyboards.

Touring has its own issues such as sleeping in different and perhaps uncomfortable beds, jet lag if you are touring long haul, dehydration and eating unsuitable food. If you have food sensitivities that are not catered for, it can affect your gut, which literally hangs off the back, so can have an impact on it. Of course there can also be the emotional issues of being apart from loved ones, particularly if you have a young family. Being young, free and single can have its benefits when touring! Dealing with fans can be great, though also has its stresses. TIPS: Be fit for your instrument! Don't wait until you have a problem. Back, Neck and Shoulders: It is important to learn correct lifting technique to keep the back strong and also how to use your upper back muscles around the shoulder blade to have better strength and control in your arm and prevent the tension going to the low back, the neck or the arm from holding a heavy instrument. Good core strength is crucial for a healthy low back and in fact for the whole body biomechanics. Learn to stretch well. Elbows, Forearms, Wrists and Hands: There are some good stretching exercises for forearms, wrists and hands to release tension and also build strength. Avoid gripping your instrument, bow or stick too tightly, learn techniques that encourage relaxed interaction with the instrument while playing. Hips, Knees, Ankles and Feet: Strength and flexibility are important for keeping your body in good shape to play. Learn to stretch hip flexors, hamstrings, butt muscles, calves, feet and ankles. Keep the thighs strong and avoid twisting the knee suddenly or repeatedly when lifting. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and happy to create exercise videos on Aether Bios YouTube channel.

Voice: Affected by over strain, incorrect training, from not warming up correctly or the bugs that you meet on planes, trains and automobiles! Ears: Are often affected long term by over exposure to noise. Gigging, fun though it is can mean heavy lifting, late nights, perhaps over indulgence and dehydration and even some stress. Dehydration affects the muscles (we are at least 70% water!) and particularly the lower back as the kidneys sit on a large core muscle called the Psoas (so-as), which can also be strained by incorrect lifting. It's all connected when it comes to the body.

Local Event Report

By Samantha Briffett

Last month I took part in the RISE 8k on the undercliff walkway. The run goes from Saltdean to the Marina and back again. Having done almost no running for six weeks I was way off my best but managed to plod home in just over 48 minutes. the 1�� placed runner pictured to the right came in at a super speedy 36m 10s, very well done to her. The run is an annual event and raises thousands of pounds for RISE (Refuge, Information, Support & Education), a charity which provides freedom from abuse and violence to women: https://www.riseuk.org.uk. It’s a real fun event with a wonderful atmosphere, open to women only though. If you fancy a go in 2020 be sure to put a note in your diary for next October. Photographs by Sukey Richardson

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve We held a weekender session over 27/28�� September and tackled a huge bramble patch that had grown on the area between the windmill and the old allotments. The first 2 outings saw us make big inroads but our regular Tuesday on 8�� October finished off the job. It took a total of 37 work hours to complete, with all volunteers really happy to see the bare ground revealed. We’re hoping that over the winter months the brambles will die back and those that survive not be as strong. We do try to pull the brambles up by their roots but those that are too deep get cut right at ground level so that the ground will “swallow them up” and they will rot away. We live in hope as we’re an optimistic bunch.

benches to the south end of the Nature Reserve. Please join us in sturdy footwear, gardening gloves and, if you have them, bring secatuers. We always look forward to having new members so come along and join in the conservation conversation. FOBeaconHill@gmail.com 01273 983000 www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

The Beacon Hub Café is open on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday during November so why not pop along and get a warming cuppa to go with that lovely slice of cake. In the coming months we will be moving towards the Ovingdean end and tackling the overgrown sections along the North/East area alongside the woods. The more hands on deck, the quicker we can clear the brambles and woody invaders so please feel free to come along and join in the fun. We meet for a 2 hour session on the 2ⁿ� Tuesday and 4�� Friday of each month, 10AM at the picnic

Local history - Article 90

Mike Laslett

Whipping Post House

Whipping Post Lane is south of Rottingdean Pond and there stands Whipping Post House. The name is derived from the village whipping post and stocks, which used to be located where a chestnut tree now stands in the front garden, whilst the village ducking chair was situated to the rear of the house; in the village pond!

while ten of his compatriots were sent to Horsham Gaol for smuggling. Goods landed at Saltdean Gap would be hidden in the furze bushes where Saltdean School now stands. They would then be taken down Whiteway Lane and hidden in various homes in the village, making use of a series of inter-connecting tunnels. The photo shows the cellar at Whipping Post House with the tunnel now cemented over.

The house as Hilder’s Butchers

Rudyard Kipling lived at the Elms in Rottingdean from 1897 - 1902. Part of his poem “A Smuggler’s Song” conjures up the atmosphere only too well! If you wake at midnight, And hear a horse’s feet, Don’t go drawing back the blind, Or looking in the street,……………….

The house today

The building has a colourful past. In 1736 Daniel Beard sold it to John Blunden. In 1758 it was acquired by John Balcomb, butcher. Of the butchers who followed him, the most infamous was Rottingdean smuggler and local butcher, Captain Dunk. He was once fined £500

Whipping Post House was also once a butcher's shop where animals were slaughtered. William Hilder became the last butcher on the death of his father William in 1921.His assistant Leonard Avery can be seen driving some sheep down Dean Court Road in 1933. On retirement William and his wife continued to live in the House until his death in 1956. With thanks to Vicki Hale for her kind hospitality and for permission to photograph her cellar

Neighbourhood Watch

Welcome News for Local Policing An update from Katie Bourne, Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner Ministers confirmed that funding to recruit the first tranche of 6000 police officers is now allocated to forces and Sussex will be able to recruit 129 over the next 18 months. This is on top of the 250 extra police officers that Sussex Police have already started recruiting over the next four years. It is great news and means that Sussex Police numbers will have risen by 379. Sussex residents will welcome the prospect of even more police officers that will further strengthen local policing and provide a visible deterrent in our communities. The additional capacity for Sussex Police prevention, response and investigation teams will also help them to better allocate their resources and tackle local crime. 379 extra police officers and 296 PCSOs

As part of the precept rise an extra 100 PCSOs are also being recruited, bringing numbers to 296. This means that every community will have a named PCSO starting from next month. When changes were made by Sussex Police four years ago, the decision was driven by the need to work within the available budget, when all the public sector was under pressure. However, focus groups and extensive conversations with local people clearly show that the public want PSCOs back in their communities. Sussex Police have transformed PCSOs with more knowledge, skills and powers but have kept the best of the old model where they were known by their local communities. Residents will now have that reassuring link back with a local police contact. Local farmers and rural residents will also have a PCSO in their area with the training needed to understand their concerns and the skills to address them properly.

Yesterday

(Cert 12a)

Himesh Patel, Lily James, Ed Sheeran ‘Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away’. Can you read the line without hearing the song? Someone said Beatles music is a part of our DNA: it’s become a part of who we are. If you lived through the meteoric rise to fame of the four working-class lads from Liverpool, you will recall the enormous impact that the Fab Four had on sixties culture. Today McCartney concerts are still sell outs appealing to fans across the generations. Danny Boyle’s splendid Beatles feel-good film also spans the generations: it really doesn’t matter whether you were there in the Sixties or not. ‘Yesterday’ is a fun-filled, crowd-pleaser of a film, with universal appeal. Picture this: you are a struggling musician, riding home on your bike, there is an incident, you fall off your bike, you are concussed, you wake up, but in an alternative timeline. You eventually discover you are the only person on earth who can remember the Beatles. What will you do? a) Remember the songs and play them in your head? b) Share them with someone else? c) Pass them off as your own work and seek fame and fortune from their success?

records are! There are some hold-your-breath moments as Jack nears being outed as a charlatan and touching moments as he makes contact with his hero. Taking The Beatles out of British culture is a akin to removing a colour from a spectrum: their influence is all-pervasive. Over-familiarity has probably made us blasé to their craftsmanship. You don’t have to be a Beatles fan to ‘get’ this film. Danny Boyle’s direction and the construct of the film will impress: this is expert filmmaking without pretension. Great fun - life affirming. A change of gear next month. We have ‘White Crow’. A fascinating glimpse into the world of famous dancer Rudolf Nureyev: we see him blossoming as a student dancer; through to his dramatic escape from the KGB, in cold war Russia. NOTE - SCREENING DATE IS DECEMBER 10��. This is our charity performance. 100% of the proceeds will be going to a small local charity. Jon

Will temptation get the better of you? Well, for Jack Malik, (Himesh Patel: EastEnders) he chooses ‘c’ so the answer is: it does, and he does. Thus, we have the premise of ‘Yesterday’. So starts a roller-coaster ride by the one-man Beatles. On the ride too? Money-grabbing managers, neglected loves, and sell-out tours. All hinging on Jack’s skill in remembering Beatles’ lyrics, and, of course, performing them – not such a tall order! Add to this the nagging doubt that he may one day be found out – but how? What could possibly go wrong? It’s too late to worry, no going back, the genie is out of the bottle. This is a feel-good film. Aside from featuring some convincing high-octane performances of Beatles songs, look out especially for ‘Help’. ‘Yesterday’ manages to be a love story too. The love interest is provided by Jack’s original fan, Ellie Appleton (Lily James: ‘Cinderella’, ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’, ‘Mamma Mia’) in one of her most understated and arguably best roles yet. ‘Yesterday’ manages to be a romance, a musical and a comedy – but not a musical comedy. It will leave you pondering the big issues: the potential implications of telling lies, squaring the circles of romance and world adulation and, importantly, wondering where your old To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

RPS Events & Local Appeal

The Grange Art Gallery We finish the year of 2019 with the wonderful textile exhibition which continues until 10 November; this will be followed by our ever-popular Christmas Art and Gift Fair – a must-see event. 15 October – 10 November Sue Jones – Textiles as Reminiscence: The Journey Within and Without At first sight Dr Sue Jones has created in this exhibition a series of knitted handmade objects, unusual individual items - as much art as craft. But each one is a story – from her 30-year experiences of working around the world and seeing how other cultures, their art, textiles and traditions, affected her – combining all that design, colour and tradition in a personal way as art representations.

The Grange Gallery and Museum can be found at The Green, Rottingdean BN2 7HA and the Gallery is open daily from Tuesday to Sunday; the opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10.30 – 16.00 and Sunday 14.00 to 16.00 Should you not yet be a member of the Rottingdean Preservation Society and would like to join us, or if you would like to be a steward at The Grange, please telephone 07753 814425 or email rpsmemsec@gmail.com.

12 November – 15 December Christmas Art and Gift Fair A collection of artists and crafts people come to the Grange Gallery with small works that are the perfect Christmas gift for friends and family. Art prints, paintings, drawings, illustrations, engravings, textiles, jewellery, ceramic, paper goods and glass, seasonal hand-made decorations, advent calendars and greeting cards and the most delicious local honey. For unique gifts, visit the peaceful Grange.

Project Wenceslas An Initiative by Brighton Lions Club Brighton Lions Club are once again launching Project Wenceslas, a campaign to help combat fuel poverty in the City of Brighton and Hove. People who receive the annual Winter Fuel Payment and feel they do not need it, are invited to donate the amount to Brighton Lions who assure donors that every penny will go towards helping people in the City to alleviate their fuel poverty. While the impact of fuel poverty in Brighton and Hove is slightly lower than England as a whole, it is higher than the South-East average. Excess winter deaths are slightly higher than both England and the South-East. People in difficulty will be contacting agencies such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, Age UK and BHESCo who will refer them to Brighton Lions. Direct applications will not be accepted to ensure all the donated money goes to the people who really need help with fuel poverty.

Lions News We have had a busy year with our service activities, putting to good use the monies we raise from our fundraising events. For example, we have recently helped three Woodingdean families through a particularly difficult period which we were pleased to do. We have made a donation towards the Four Deans Disabled Passenger Transport Vehicle (minibus) helping to realise its procurement and we have contributed towards an electronic piano at Longhill School We are also assisting a Woodingdean family with their child by helping towards an assessment of the child to determine if he is on the Autism Spectrum. We have also given books to children at Rudyard Kipling School. We would like to thank those of you that on 20�� October took part in our Sponsored Swim at Roedean School Pool. The swim is held annually to raise money for local charities. Groups, through entered teams of any size, raise funds by obtaining sponsorship with the proceeds being split between their own choice of charity or good cause and Lions’ charities; once again this year the Lions’ principal beneficiary will be Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice. Well done to everyone that swam for their teams.

Finally, we have recently been made aware of a fraud involving the Lions name. People have been contacted to say that Lions Clubs can make a significant monetary grant to individuals for payment of a fee to the Lions. No Lions club will ask for a fee in order to qualify for a grant and this is a scam. If you would like more information on any of our service or fundraising activities, or you would like to lodge an interest in helping us at our fundraising events please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 0345 833 9617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk. If you would like to make a donation to us please click on the ‘Donate’ button on the home page of our website: (www.rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk). Lion Roger Bluff

Please don’t forget we will be holding our Christmas lunches for senior citizens in the run up to the festivities. Looking a little ahead to 2020, we are planning a spring excursion to Parham House and Garden followed by a tea as part of our series of outings for our senior citizens. If you would like to attend or know anyone that may be interested, please contact us, bearing in mind it’s for local people over 65, retired and not in full time employment. We will also be pleased to put you on our contact list. Please watch this space.

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 Artist

Mandy Merritt Creating Art from Plastic Waste Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is a phrase that local artist Mandy Merritt has truly taken to heart… “I previously created flowers from small to oversized using paper for window displays, Weddings etc. I got to thinking how much paper I was using and how much waste we are creating. I watched a programme one evening on our oceans and where a lot of our plastic bottles end up. That was it, I went out to my recycling bin and bought in my plastic bottles and milk cartons. I have been using these now for just a year.

Living here in Saltdean and seeing our beach and the waste people leave behind was another reason for using the plastic bottles for my medium.”
