Welcome

Welcome to the February Edition Most of us are familiar with the saying about not seeing a bus for hours then they all turn up at once, this month’s magazine has a similar theme, we hardly ever have pictures of helicopters, yet this month we have two! Please see the Lifeboat history article on page 40/41 and the Lions feature on page 61 to see for yourself. Friends of Beacon Hill Nature Reserve are back this month with an update, and as always looking for anybody willing to lend a hand whilst enjoying the great outdoors - page 11. Our film review is on page 59 this month, and meet a local Weight Watcher Coach on page 63 for news of her award. As always the magazine is available on our website: www.deansmagazine.co.uk along with at least 6 months of past editions in case you missed something earlier. Don’t forget to keep sending in your articles and local news, there is no charge for this and it could just be the shot in the arm your group needs to boost membership. Keith - Editor

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve The weather has been kind to the Friends this winter and we have had many a happy morning scrub bashing. The ever growing brambles are being tackled on the east side of the hill and we will hopefully be seeing a much improved floral show on our chalk grassland this summer. The sheep are on their 5�� of 6 rotations and due to be off the hill sometime in February. The reason they stayed longer than in previous years is that there was more lush grass for them to graze on in autumn rather than the weather beaten offering in the bleak winter months. Funds were raised at the Rottingdean Fair for the addition of new benches and we are pleased to announce that one of the two new benches has been erected. It has been placed on the westerly path towards St Dunstans offering a lovely spot to sit and take in the view. A second bench is ready to be erected and will be replacing the bench by the Dew Pond. The original bench is dedicated to David Christie and we will be moving his plaque onto the new one. We are still trying to contact his family to advise of the improvement in his dedicated bench and would be grateful to hear from anybody that knows them.

New volunteers are always welcome to join us, meeting 10.00 at Longhill Road, Ovingdean, entrance to the Nature Reserve. Tools are provided but please wear study shoes/boots/gloves. If you would like further information we can be found at :E-mail : FOBeaconHill@gmail.com Telephone : 01273 983000 Facebook : www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

We meet on the 2ⁿ� Wednesday and 4�� Friday of the month. Upcoming dates are 27�� January, 8�� and 24�� February, 8�� and 24�� March.

Coccyx Pain (Coccydynia) Coccydynia is a pain felt in the coccyx or tailbone. It can accompany injury or strain to the coccyx or surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons.

This may be dull or achy and occasionally sharp. The pain can be aggravated when sitting down, moving from sitting to standing, standing for long periods, having sex, emptying the bowels or during a menstrual period. The pain may extend to the back, buttocks and hips and may cause sciatica. Bending over, driving and other daily tasks may be difficult and the pain may affect sleep. Serious coccyx injury may involve spinal cord injury causing severe back or neck pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, weakness in arms or legs or paralysis in part of the body. Causes: Trauma such as a direct impact, fall, accident or injury may bruise, dislocate or fracture the coccyx. Other common causes include poor posture and childbirth; prolonged or repeated strain on the coccyx from poor posture while driving and sports such as rowing and cycling; being over-weight can put more pressure on the coccyx, being under-weight can remove the natural cushioning for the coccyx. Less common causes can be bony growths on the coccyx, arthritis, if it is too rigid or too flexible and in rare cases, infection from a pilonidal abscess, or cancer. Often there is no obvious causes and it may relate to wear and tear due to ageing and wearing down of the cartilage, causing the bones to fuse.

Diagnosis: You will need to see your doctor if the pain persists, self help doesn't ease the pain, the pain is very severe or you have bleeding, high temperature or pain away from the coccyx. The doctor will examine you to check for more serious causes of the pain, such as fracture or infection. X-rays, injections, MRI or a CT scan may be required as well as blood tests to help diagnose the cause.

Treatment: Self help treatment includes avoiding sitting or standing for a prolonged time, using hot and cold packs applied to the tailbone, using a special coccyx cushion with a space cut out to allow freedom from pressure on the coccyx, avoiding wearing tight trousers that may put pressure on the coccyx. Laxatives may be helpful if opening the bowels aggravates the pain; over the counter pain medication may also be helpful.

Lin Bridgeford Senior Yoga Teacher

The doctor may prescribe stronger pain killers or anti-inflammatory medication. Corticosteroid injections, combined with local anaesthetic or nerve block injections may be used to reduce pain and inflammation. Stretching exercises to relax the muscles around the tailbone, postural advise, massage and manipulation may be recommended. Surgery is only recommended in severe cases and may involve removing some or all of the coccyx (coccygectomy) and this can have a long recovery time. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the coccyx, pelvis, back and legs and all surround-

Local history - Part 57

Mike Laslett

The Accounts of Edward Sanders

(1865-1923)

Sanders kept his accounts in a book which had been started by his uncle David Turner. Turner was a carpenter and undertaker who worked as a wheelwright at Court Farm, Rottingdean for William Brown until he died in 1897, leaving a widow, Sarah. Some more unusual entries in the accounts were for removing a window to extract the coffin and for collecting bodies from Brighton Station. His building work was varied and included such jobs as making a sideboard for Rudyard Kipling and laying and removing a temporary floor for Christmas dancing for Steyning Beard at Down House. He also carried out work for the schools and inns.

Accounts Book

Sanders was born in Hertfordshire but lived with David and Sarah from at least the age of six at 29 Rottingdean High Street. After Turner’s death he lived at 4 Vicarage Terrace where he continued his trade as a builder.

The Grange

Vicarage Terrace

Wood Family Vault

The account book covers the period May 1898 to February 1904 and details not only his work as a builder but also the funerals he undertook. It was quite common for carpenters to make coffins at the time, a tradition continued by Margetts and Cooke in the village, which will be the subject of a further article. In those six years he carried out eighty seven funerals of which fourteen were infants under one year, five were children and eleven were unknown souls washed up on the beach, often at Portbello or Black Rock. On a more cheerful note he charged for opening the family vault to allow Mrs Wood at the age of 103 years 9 months to join her forbears!

The Grange was the Vicarage at this time and it its upkeep proved too much for the Rev. Walter Tower who resigned due to the cost of upkeep. Eventually one of his successors did gain permission to sell it for a more modest property. The expense of maintaining the building is obvious from Sanders estimates. On one occasion he quoted not only for papering the bedrooms and attics but mending eleven sash windows and applying three coats of paint on the bath! In the plumbing department a complete new cesspit drainage system (including three outside WCs and one inside with a mahogany seat) would require two cwt (224 pounds) of lead piping. As if this wasn’t enough metal, there was to be a new ten gallon copper for the laundry, perforated zinc mesh on the larder door and window (to keep the flies out) and more lead around the pantry sink. Outside there were two greenhouses, two cold frames and kennels to maintain. No wonder the poor Vicar couldn’t afford the upkeep! Edward’s teenage son, Edward junior, became a carpenter too but sadly he was killed during The Battle of The Somme on 18 August 1916. His name appears on the Rottingdean War Memorial.

● Typos or grammatical errors. ● Forged (or spoofed) e-mail addresses to make it look like the e-mail is coming from Amazon.co.uk.

Cinema Saltdean Film Review

Love & Friendship Director : Whit Stillman Writers: Jane Austen, Whit Stillman Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Jemma Redgrave, Steven Fry Comedy, drama and romance: they all seem appropriate for our Valentine’s month film ‘Love & Friendship’. Set in the 1790s, ‘Love & Friendship’ centres on beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon, (Kate Beckinsale) who has come to the estate of her inlaws to wait out colourful rumours about her dalliances, that are circulating throughout polite society. Whilst there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and her rather reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica. Based on an early Jane Austen novella ‘Lady Susan’, ‘Love & Friendship’ has all that any self-respecting Jane Austen fan may want; duplicity, desire and fortune-hunting, all zipping along and led by Lady Susan Vernon, a charmer and schemer played with verve and precision by Kate Beckinsale. Lavish costumes, well-observed social etiquette, with some sly tongue-in-cheek moments, add to this heady mix. The world of Jane Austen is something of a departure for Beckinsale. After fourteen years slaying vampires in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Underworld’ franchise, that provided little opportunity for virtuoso acting talents, ‘Love & Friendship’ comes as a refreshing and more challenging proposition. On a plane last year, I was flicking through the film choices and came across a film called ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’: intrigued, I thought I’d give it a go. The film was hugely enjoyable and succeeded in being faithful to both genres of Zombie and Austen. The reason I mention this is by way of noticing that Austen’s writing can survive most treatment – even zombies. Consider the myriad of TV productions and films that have gone before.

Cert. U

The Daily Telegraph described Kate Beckinsale’s performance in this film as her best in twenty years. She is ably assisted by an interesting and familiar cast including including Jemma Redgrave (Howard’s End); Stephen Fry popping up as Mr Johnson (as an amiable but ineffective husband); and James Fleet (who played Hugo in ‘The Vicar of Dibley’) as Sir Reginald DeCourcy. The Telegraph give the film a five star rating, noting that ‘it’s one of the deftest feats of literary interpolation in ages. And guarantees wicked surprises right on to the merry finale’. So there! Whether you are a fan of Jane Austen or not, there is much to enjoy here; fine sets and costumes and a quintessentially English plot - a real antidote to the February weather. … and we’ll see you on Tuesday March 28�� for the audience choice film! Jon

Purists of the author’s work should not be put off (no zombies here, I promise!) and no liberties are taken with Austen’s preoccupations or interests. The script is deftly executed by Whit Stillman, who is also the Director, and who has a clutch of TV screenplays and films to his name. The script abounds with verbal wit, with lovers of both high and low comedy taken care of. The sets fulfil the Austen brief of lavish costumes and lovely estates.

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

February Lions Update This month we have some good news on a District-wide Lions club fundraising project. Also, we ask for some volunteer support for our important Centenary fundraising activities and celebrations in 2017. Lions clubs from Kent, Surrey and Sussex have just reached a fundraising target for an important lifesaving campaign. Back in 2012 they started a challenge to extend the flying hours of the air ambulance service in our region. At the time these services could only fly during daylight hours. The plan was to provide night flying equipment so that air ambulances could operate 24/7. The Lions agreed to raise £250,000 in just ten years. Well I am pleased and delighted to announce that these Lions clubs have met this target in less than half this time. We now have the country’s only truly 24/7 helicopter emergency medical service.

now being drawn up to spend the remainder on supporting the provision of night landing facilities at hospitals across our region.

We are shortly to present Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance with a cheque for £1,000 which will mean that over recent years, I am privileged to report, Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions have contributed over £10,500 to them from the funds we have raised during numerous local events.

From a more down to earth perspective, our fundraising activities have also recently supported, for example, the Senior Citizens Christmas lunches, which in December had two sittings with 73 senior citizens partaking at a net cost to the Lions of £725. These meals were thoroughly enjoyed.

Our funds that we have contributed have been used to provide night vision helmets and goggles, and other specialist equipment along with two ambulance cars which are vital to support the night service. Plans are

We are always looking to find people that need help in our community. If you know someone in need please do get in touch with us so that we can see if we can help – thank you.

Initial night flying started in late 2013, and since that time, over 1,500 extra patients with life-threatening conditions have been attended. On behalf, of the Lions clubs involved in this project, I would like to congratulate all that have been involved. Pooling resources in this manner means that projects of this size can be considered and successfully achieved. Everyone involved should be justly proud.

Local Person

Sally Evans My name is Sally Evans and I'm a local Weight Watcher Coach who joined Weight Watchers in April 1991 and lost 86lbs to achieve my Goal Weight. I was very proud of my achievement and wanted to inspire others as my Weight Watcher Coach had me. So in 1993 I trained to become a Coach and have been helping members live healthier, happier and more confident lives over the last 23 years.

I live in Saltdean and run the meeting on a Monday night at the Community Centre, Saltdean Park Road at 7pm.

There are over 1500 Coaches in the UK and this year I was awarded the much coveted accolade of Diamond Coach. To achieve this, I'm always proactively looking at ways to make a difference to my members and their weight loss journeys and also my community having raised over ÂŁ1.000 for charities by raffles and cake making etc. I'm also helping mentor newer Coaches in their roles too. For me this is a job I am very passionate about Weight Watchers & feel privileged to have been awarded Diamond status.
