Welcome

Welcome to the June Edition Coming up are the Rottingdean Lions Fayre on the 18�� June, Saltdean Primary School’s Summer Festival on 25�� June, Lewes Model Railway Exhibition 3�� July and Our Lady of Lourdes Summer Fair 9�� July. All events are advertised in this month’s magazine so please take a note of the details if you are interested. Our local history article is always popular, but this month’s is especially interesting as it contains research work by children of Saltdean Primary School into what Saltdean was like when the school first opened in the 1960’s, see page 27. Recently we had a reader of The Deans Magazine phone up to say that they had spoken to three advertisers all of whom promised to come and give him a quote for the work he wanted doing but then didn’t arrive. We would ask advertisers to simply let potential customers know if you are too busy to take on work rather than not turn up. Keith - Editor

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 81

Windows - a brief history First released in 1985, Microsoft’s Windows operating system may look very different now but there are elements that have survived the test of time. Bill Gates started out being able to count with Windows 1 being released in November 1985. 2 years later we were introduced to Windows 2 which provided us with the control panel that survives to this day, and the fist appearances of Microsoft Word and Excel. In 1990 Windows 3 was launched, seen as a challenger to Apple’s Macintosh and the Commodore Amiga, and most importantly it introduced us to Solitaire! August 1995 sees Microsoft ditch the chronological naming and instead we were given Windows 95. We now had our first ever Start button and Start menu, and Internet Explorer made its debut. June 1998, and Windows 98 built on Windows 95 bringing with it IE 4, Outlook Express and Windows Address Book. September 2000 - Windows ME was considered a low point in the Windows series by many (at least, until they saw Windows Vista….) and was notorious for

being buggy, failing to install properly and being generally poor. Windows 2000, released in February 2000, was closely followed by arguably one of the best Windows versions, Windows XP, in October 2001. This became the longest running Microsoft operating system, seeing 3 major updates and support up until April 2014 – 13 years from its original release date. Windows Vista, January 2007, less said the better…. Windows 7 was 1st released in October 2009 and was intended to fix all the problems and criticism faced by Vista, being faster, more stable and easier to use. In October 2012, Windows 8 was Microsoft’s most radical overhaul to date, ditching the Start button and Start menu in favour of a more touch-friendly Start screen, something that didn’t go down well with a lot of users. After a brief dalliance with Windows 8:1 we’ve arrived at Windows 10 – 1 to 10 in just over 30 years!

Osteopathy tips

Bridgeford’s Best Bites:

Texter’s Neck A stress injury caused by extended periods bending forwards in a slumped position (neck flexion) while texting or working on phones, tablets or laptops. We have similar posture when reading and desk workers often developed a Dowager’s hump at the top of the spine. We now more regularly spend extended periods of time attached to our devices using poor posture. Children and teens are at particular risk. Anatomy: After repeatedly using this posture for long periods of time, the natural curve of the neck (lordosis) is altered, placing increasing stress on the neck. The body adapts to the posture with far reaching effects; ligaments, muscles, spine, nerves, discs, fascial attachments and organs can all be compromised. Postural distortions can compromise the balance of the ligaments (anterior and posterior longitudinal) around the spine, putting the discs at risk. The arms can be considered as extending from the neck; the shoulder blades attach to the neck as do the heart and lungs; basically elastic tissue called fascia connects everything in the body. Our structure governs our function and we need to consider posture in its entirety for positive effect. Symptoms: Aches, pains, tension and stiffness in neck, upper back and shoulders, with reduced motion and headaches are the initial symptoms. Later symptoms include weakness, numbness and tingling in the arms, hands and fingers, trapped nerves, spinal misalignment and degeneration, disc problems, arthritis; eventually digestive disturbances, cardiovascular problems and loss of lung capacity.

Osteopathic/Manual Management: Assess posture, habits and symptoms; test function and flexibility of all structures; work manually to correct postural abnormalities in the spine, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves as well as balancing/releasing fascial connections including between organs and structure. Prescribe restorative exercises to help correct posture and strengthen weaknesses (including core strength), stretch and release the tightness. Re-educate regarding postural habits, ergonomics, general health and exercise. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation. Lin Bridgeford DO KFRP MICAK MICRA FSCCO MSc Registered Osteopath & Kinesiologist & Yoga Teacher Aether Bios Clinic Saltdean 01273 309557 07710 227038 www.osteo-info.co.uk

Causes: Sitting, standing or laying with the neck and head slumped forwards puts increasing pressure on the neck and spine; more slumping creates more pressure. With poor seated posture the entire spine can be slumped, compressing internal organs; the bottom is often slid forwards in the seat putting excessive pressure on the lumbar spine. Diagnosis and Treatment: Your doctor will rule out other causes of symptoms and treat findings. We only need to look around and see the number of people habitually adopting this posture to know there is a problem. Specific conditions and symptoms can be diagnosed, and can be far reaching when damage is well established in the system. We are better off correcting the posture and habits before the symptoms manifest and we are all walking around looking at the ground unable to lift our heads by the time we are 40, 50 or younger! Prevention: Learn to adopt good posture; keep the head up straight so that the ears are in line with the shoulders (lift your phone to eye level!), keep the spine straight; when sitting, sit on the bottom bones (ischial tuberosity) with the lower back against the back of the chair, the chair base no longer than the thighs to prevent pressure on the back of the knees, feet flat on the floor.

Local history

Local History - Part 49 Mike Laslett

Saltdean’s Swinging Sixties

Following their recent History Week, this month’s column has been written by pupils of Saltdean Primary School which opened in 1962. Memories of ex-pupils were shared with the children and each year group undertook their own research into aspects of music, toys, fashion, schooling and leisure activities of the era. Pictures of their creative work are also here for you to see. In the sixties Saltdean School was just built and the Head teacher was Mrs Reeve. Surprisingly, in the middle of lessons, children were allowed to leave the classroom to play or clean out the pond. There was a junior school and an infant school. Over the years the school expanded and a swimming pool was built but it was removed a few years later. There was no school uniform and next to the school was a giant grassland land called The Gorse where kids used to play. JENSEN Year 5 I can’t believe they made naughty kids lay on a bed outside the Head teacher’s office! HARRIET Year 3 The Beatles were the first boy band in England. There were flower patterns on almost all clothing in the sixties and the insides of the houses were very bright compared with today. Kids normally hung around on the streets without their parents. JACK Year 3 There used to be no flats in Lustrells Vale, it was like an extension of our field. In the sixties they wore floral patterns, also stripes, checks and circles. I really enjoyed learning about the sixties and the history of our school. The best part was dressing up as sixties’ citizens. We also discovered my great aunt was the first head teacher. MADDY Year 5 Men’s fashion included two categories: Mods and Rockers. The Rockers were more casual, wearing tight jeans with leather jackets and boots. The Mods were well dressed and wore thin ties. Also they liked different music to the Mods. DAISY Year 5 A fictional diary of a girl on holiday at Butlin’s was written by: NATASHA Year 6

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Three - Early incidents and the re-opened RNLI Brighton Lifeboat Station 1840 - 60 In 1840 the Brighton Council stationed a lifeboat between the piers augmenting the existing lifeboat stationed two years earlier by the Royal Humane Society. Storm conditions continued and in December 1840 three vessels were wrecked the same day. The hurricane conditions made it totally impossible to launch oar powered lifeboats but amazingly all crews were saved. The brig "Offerton" went ashore at Black Rock and Coastguard Captain Digby Marsh and some of his men rescued all the crew after having been lowered down the cliffs on ropes. The brig "Mary" and the schooner "Sir John Searle" came ashore together on the beach and Coastguard Lts Pratt, Prior and Newnham waded out with ropes and succeeded in rescuing the entire crews of both vessels. In all 21 people were rescued, Captain Marsh receiving a Gold medal with Silver medals going to the three Lieutenants. Little is known on the town Lifeboat but in November 1846 the "Humane Society" boat was launched under the command of Coastguard Lt Pratt to a local boat the "Water Hen" anchored in a dangerous position. It's crew refused the lifeboat's help which returned to shore and soon after the Water Hen was driven ashore, the crew luckily managing to reach dry land. The same lifeboat was launched in October 1852, saving four crew from the Schooner "Honoria" of Dover. In 1854 the Humane Society replaced it's lifeboat with a second and the old boat was purchased by John Wright, a local entrepeneur with a fleet of bathing machines and pleasure boats. He refitted the vessel using it as a private lifeboat making it the third available at the time. In October 1857 the 160 ton brig "Pilgrim" ran ashore adjacent to the pier. John Wright's boat was quickly launched but was immediately in trouble losing five oars and returned to shore. The Town lifeboat had also launched, succeeded in reaching the vessel and rescuing five of her crew before she too was forced back. The Humane Society boat had also launched and struggled for two hours eventually getting within 30 yards of the casualty before severe waves smashed her rudder and stroke oar forcing her ashore. John Wright, together with Coastguard Lt Mansell and three of his men from the Hove Coastguard Station relaunched with a fresh crew and succeeded in saving the last three crew from the Pilgrim. Shortly afterwards at a public meeting to discuss the possibility of re-forming an RNLI branch at Brighton a formal request was sent to the RNLI and in November 1857 their Committee of Management agreed to the request. A 30ft x 7ft 6" self righting boat was built by

Forrest's of Limehouse and completed her self righting trials on Regents Canal. Unlike later tradition, this lifeboat was never named. The new Brighton Lifeboat Station was inaugurated on 15th November 1858 and the boat, which had been transported free of charge by the "London, Brighton and South Coast Railway" was paraded around the town to it's new arch opposite Middle Street with John Wright as it's Coxswain. The boat's first service was only a few months later when on February 2nd 1859 together with Wright's own boat they went to the aid of the Spanish barque "Viscaya" which had been damaged in a collision. Only a few days later, on 10th February all three lifeboats were launched in heavy seas to the barque "Aurora" off Rottingdean. Several crew got on board to assist until the new steam tug "Paris" arrived to tow her back to Newhaven. A sad event took place in the early hours of June 2nd 1860. The brig "Atlantique" was driven ashore opposite the Albion Hotel and the lifeboat was called. As the lifeboat was being hauled along the seafront nearer to the stranded vessel, one of the launchers - 43 year old John Laker - fell under a carriage wheel and was killed. The lifeboat was not launched, but using it's equipment the crew rescued all bar one of the Atlantique's crew. While this was happening the brig "Transit" also came ashore and all their crew were successfully rescued, a total of fifteen from the two vessels. At RNLI headquarters in Poole and commissioned some ten years ago is a very impressive memorial to all RNLI personnel lost during service. John Laker's name is among the many others.

How to keep bugs at bay naturally Well summer is finally on its way and we are all starting our garden projects and looking forward to BBQ's and long summer evenings outdoors. However most of us would rather not enjoy this space with annoying flying insects, especially if they sting! Citronella is the natural way to deter them, forget those harmful aerosol sprays because there are lots of natural ways to deter bugs, both inside and outside your home. Citronella is known all over the world as a natural mosquito and tick repellent. It is safe and nontoxic to humans and animals (including insects). Although it is good practise to burn pure Citronella products outside or with good ventilation as some people can have mild allergic reactions. There are lots of different products available that contain Citronella, for example granules that you can either leave in a bowl or place a couple of teaspoons onto an oil burner to spread the scent and deter flies from coming in your home. And don 't forget that Lemon balm is a cousin to Citronella and although not quite as strong is still a deterrent especially when lit as a candle. There are also lots of lovely colourful garden citronella candles and incense products which give you smoke as well as the scent and help to deter a wider range of insects. Or you can just place a couple of Citronella tea lights in jam jars around the seating area of your garden which look pretty and do the same job. As someone who is allergic to bees I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to kill them as they are marvellous creatures, but want them to keep a safe distant away. Bees will naturally flee from smoke, and become dazed and

less aggressive if they inhale too much of it. So even an unscented candle can be a natural way to keep your table free from pesky insects. Indeed Citronella does not kill insects but merely helps to repel them by masking the scents they are attracted too. So this summer when you are sitting and enjoying the garden don't forget to buy those Citronella products to help make your evening go with more of a swing and less of a bite!

Myofascial Release Penny Koster, Holistic Pain Therapist 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 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. Another example because we are one complete unit If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or or phone me on 07951 117826

Financial Planning

The Generation Game Prudent financial planning should cater to the needs of all the members of a family, from the youngest to the oldest. When the Queen turned 90 on 21 April, she served as a very public reminder of how much longer, as a society, we are living. In her own family, four generations are now all alive at the same time, from the Queen herself down to her latest greatgrandchild, Princess Charlotte. An increasing number of families now find themselves in the same position, which has implications for financial planning. While our children are struggling with their finances, our parents are living longer. This has led to an increase in the need for long-term care, which is likely to be financed from accumulated savings, selling the family home or with support from younger generations. Financial support need not be in the form of a handout; it can become an integral part of generational financial planning, and be undertaken in such a way as to reduce Inheritance Tax (IHT). Family wide protection is also available at preferential rates. Wealth management is as much about protection and preservation as it is about growth and distribution. Many people in the UK are thought to be underinsured, particularly the young – who will often turn to their parents for support when they suffer a loss. Insurers are now designing intergenerational insurance policies that can meet the needs of an entire family, while they benefit from preferential rates.

less. How should residential care be funded, and can they avoid selling their home? With careful planning, these issues can be managed. Whatever the context, all financial planning should include making a Will and a lasting power of attorney. Not only does this avoid unnecessary delay and complication on death – or in the event of a family member becoming incapacitated and unable to take decisions for themselves – it’s also a useful way of starting a conversation about wealth, particularly in families where talking about money does not come easily. To receive a complimentary guide covering Wealth Management, Retirement planning or Inheritance Tax planning, contact Mark Holmes on 07966 398581 or email mark.holmes@sjpp.co.uk.

Trusts, Wills and powers of attorney are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The older generation may also need support, as they increasingly need to be cared for. If a parent or grandparent moves into a care or nursing home – unless they enjoy a very high net income to pay the fees – this will have an effect on the next generation, who will inherit

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions News This month we are happy to report how we have been able to help a local school girl in her studies and her future career ambitions. Also, we have updates on our Fayre in Rottingdean to be held this month and our Saltdean Gala that will be held in the Oval in July – two great fun, family fundraising events. Apple Laptop presentation to enable girl to pursue her career dreams A presentation of an Apple Laptop was made recently by Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions Club to Brogan Spencer, aged 16, of Saltdean. She attends Northease Manor School where she hopes to take her studies on to college and university so she can achieve her ambition of becoming a PE teacher. Brogan has dyslexia and other needs that provide barriers to her learning. However, given appropriate support with the use of up-to-date technology her teachers feel she should be able to overcome her difficulties and achieve her goals. With her laptop she can use tools recommended by The British Dyslexia Society including speech to text and numerous other applications and support strategies for education and students with Learning Disabilities.

come first served basis. Please use the email below to enquire about availability and reserving a place. If you would like more information on any of our service or fundraising activities, or to book a stall at our Fayre and Gala or enquire about the children’s tea party at the Rottingdean Fayre, please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk, we can also be contacted on 08458 339617.

Brogan’s mum and dad thanked the Lions immensely, stating that without their help Brogan wouldn’t be able to fulfil her full potential and her career ambitions. The presentation was made by Lion President Alistair Lang of Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions. Lions Fayre - Rottingdean Village Green 18�� June / Saltdean Gala – Saltdean Oval 16�� July Don’t forget this month our Lions Fayre in Rottingdean will be held on the Village Green on Saturday 18�� June and next month our Lions Saltdean Gala in Saltdean Oval will be held on 16�� July. For both of these events, any small trader (providing you have public liability insurance cover) or local community group that would like to have a stall is most welcome to contact us – please see details below.

Above - laptop presentation to Brogan.

Our traditional Lions Fayre this year will have a book stall, bouncy castles and a coconut shy. Our ever popular barbeque with its meaty beef burgers and big sausages will also be there. Arena events during the day will include dancing, Karate and various other activities demonstrated by local organisations. And of course there will be the usual bric-a-brac stall for all those bargain hunters out there. Tombola tickets will be available for purchase during the day for instant prizes. Our Summer Draw tickets will also be available and this will be drawn at the end of the Saltdean Gala in July, first prize £200! The Lions Fayre is held on the green in Rottingdean Village and, as always has been the case, entry is free. We all hope you will be able to join us at these family fun fundraising events. There is also the possibility that the Regency Singers will be joining us for the first time at our Gala with their wide ranging songs from the musicals. Also, at the Lions Fayre there will be a children’s tea party for 90 children in recognition of HM Queen Elizabeth’s 90�� Birthday, taking place between 2.00pm and 3.30pm, which will be free to accompanied primary school age children. Spaces are very limited and places have to be pre-booked on a first

Film Review from Cinema Saltdean

A Royal Night Out VE Night on the town for two princesses

(cert 12)

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but someone is having her ninetieth birthday this year: none other than Queen Elizabeth II. To mark this impressive milestone, Cinema Saltdean is looking back seventy-one years to 8th May 1945 and the VE day celebrations, through the funny, captivating and highly enjoyable film ‘A Royal Night Out’. there may be a stereotype or two, the whole thing hangs together well. On VE day the Queen would have been 19 years old and already The big questions throughout the film are: will the Princesses be cloistered in Buckingham Palace, forbidden by her family to go out into recognised? Will they choose to declare who they are and, if so, when? the streets to see the celebrations: not the first choice for a nineteenAnd what of their friendships made briefly on the night in question? year-old, on such a momentous and riotous day. And so an escape from Well, you will have to see the film to find out the answers. family life is planned and executed: the two princesses go into the On a different note, the film raises questions about privilege and how crowds incognito. The resultant night’s celebrations involve bus rides, much (and why) the privileged sometimes may yearn for the ordinary. unexpected friendships, paddling in the Trafalgar Square fountains, The Royal Family appear more accessible to us in the 21st Century than some Lindy Hop and a bit of Glen Miller. they did in the previous one: perhaps this has something to do with True to their years, ‘P1’ (Elizabeth), played by Sarah Gadon (‘Dracula how the cult of celebrity has changed the public’s perceptions.

Community Resilience

Community Resilience Planning What it is and how it works No one wants a disaster to happen, but they do. In emergency situations local people are often the first on the scene and may be able to offer help and save lives. In some instances such as severe weather the statutory emergency services may be thinly spread across competing emergency situations or slowed down or held back by hazardous conditions and stationary traffic. Local Authorities have overall for responsibility for town and city wide Emergency Plans. Community Resilience Plans are area specific and are drawn up by local people, using local knowledge, to determine the emergency situations most likely to occur in their area. The concept is being adopted both nationally and internationally. Progress Locally East Saltdean is included in the Telscombe Town Council Resilience Plan which has already been completed and the Woodingdean plan is nearing completion. Volunteer group leaders are now working in Ovingdean, Rottingdean, and West Saltdean to put together individual area plans and we need your help. There are several well established local groups across the Deans who have the enhancement of life and wellbeing at the heart of their agendas, eg Neighbourhood Watch, U3A, the churches, for example. All of these have large networks and it is hoped that representatives from these and other groups will be willing to participate in the development of the community resilience plans and might welcome the opportunity to join their local Community Resilience Planning groups. In addition we would like individuals to contact us. Do you have special skills?

Are you prepared to help out in an emergency? We need first aiders, 4 x 4 drivers, chain saws operators, people prepared to shovel snow etc. Community Resilience Planning is not about creating a whole new community network or a one-off response to an incident, but it is an on-going process of using and enhancing existing relationships in a community to better improve the emergency preparedness of an area. By building on and forming links between existing networks we can work together using local knowledge to identify risks and prepare for emergencies that could occur here in the Deans. By planning in advance and identifying people with key skills, knowledge and equipment we can build a responsive team which will enable our community to cope better during and after an emergency. If you would are interested and would like to find out more, or would like to join one of the planning teams, or get involved in other ways, please contact the person leading the planning process in the area where you live. Thank you. West Saltdean: Helen Le Feuvre helen.lefeuvre@sky.com Rottingdean Parish Council: Graham Sheppard graham.sheppard5@g.mail.com Ovingdean: Peter Wolfenden
