Welcome

Welcome to the March Edition This month’s cover photo, by Colette Langton, features ducks getting chilly feet on the frozen pond at Rottingdean, this goes to show that you can never really rely on the weather in this country! Early February was icy cold, in the same month we had seemingly incessant rain, thick fog, and a couple of days where it was so warm I dug my shorts out to walk the dog. Any predictions for what weather Spring will bring us? I’m certainly not going to try and make any. This month’s magazine has more local history for you, there’s a two page feature from our regular contributor, Mike Laslett, see pages 36, 37, some more recent history in our Life boat feature on page 41, and one of our local residents shares his historical connections with us on page 65. We have an important message for all residents on page 64 of this issue, which concerns the A259 and local development, please take the time to have a look.

Whilst Facebook won’t notify them that you have muted them, they will not be able to send you an inbox message, write on your profile’s message board, or leave any comments on your stories. In our experience, most people can work out what this means. If you've had enough of Facebook altogether and want to get rid of your account, you have two options. You can either deactivate or you can permanently delete your account. How do I deactivate my account?

Osteopathy tips

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

Whiplash Injury A sprain of the soft tissues of the neck, when they become stretched and damaged. It is common after a car accident when the neck is forcefully thrown forwards, backwards or sideways; the extreme flexion of the neck then whips back in the other direction. It can also occur from a blow to the head during sport or an assault. The cervical spine, or neck is designed to be flexible and is less protected than the rest of the spine leaving is more vulnerable to injury. A sprain of the soft tissues of the neck, when they become stretched and damaged. It is common after a car accident when the neck is forcefully thrown forwards, backwards or sideways; the extreme flexion of the neck then whips back in the other direction. It can also occur from a blow to the head during sport or an assault. The cervical spine, or neck is designed to be flexible and is less protected than the rest of the spine leaving is more vulnerable to injury.

more than one pillow, a supportive pillow may be helpful. Whiplash is thought to get better on its own in a few weeks or months or after some basic treatment; keeping your neck mobile and continuing with normal activities, specific exercises and stretches, taking paracetamol or ibuprofen painkillers or something stronger from your doctor if needed. You may be referred to a specialist or pain clinic if the pain persists for a long time.

Anatomy: The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebrae; the first 2, the atlas and axis are shaped differently from the remaining five and allow movement of the skull from side to side and backward and forward. Between each vertebrae is a disc and a nerve exiting from the spine. There are many complex muscles and ligaments in the neck to allow its movement and support. The anterior longitudinal ligament, running along the front of the spine is often injured during whiplash.

Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the neck, shoulders, arms, jaw and spine and all surrounding tissues; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess nerve pathways. Consider the effect of the force of impact on the whole body. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests. Treat to reduce muscle tension, nerve irritation and soft tissue pain. Advice regarding specific exercise and stretching the neck and shoulders. Treatment may include manipulation, deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascial techniques, dry needling, etc.

Symptoms: Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, discomfort and stiffness in the neck area with limited mobility; swelling, muscle spasms, headaches, pain in the shoulders, arms, jaw and lower back. Less common symptoms include pins and needles, numbness or weakness in the arms and hands, tiredness, dizziness, insomnia, poor concentration, memory loss and irritability. Symptoms may become worse a few hours to a few days later. You will need to seek urgent medical attention if you have more severe symptoms such as blurred vision, nausea, ringing in the ears or difficulty breathing. Causes: Common causes include road traffic accidents and collisions, a blow to the head by a heavy object, during sports or an assault, a slip or fall where the head is jolted backwards, head-banging, a roller coaster ride and bungee jumping. The over-extension and recoil damages ligaments and tendons in the neck. You are more at risk if you are a woman because your neck muscles are often less developed, an athlete particularly in high risk sports, you have poor posture or congenital spinal problems; also if your car head restraints are badly fitted. Complications are more likely if you are over 65, have immediate pain after the injury, have nerve damage or numbness or are unable to walk or sit down. Diagnosis: You will need to see your doctor if you have pain and stiffness in the neck, numbness or tingling following a road traffic accident or impact to the head. The doctor with examine your neck for the range of movement, swelling, tenderness and damage to muscles, ligaments and discs, and may also test your reflexes. X-rays, MRI or a CT scan may be required to rule out more serious injuries, such as a fracture, spinal cord compression or nerve injury.

Local history - Part 58

The Village Forge Mike Laslett

Many years ago there was a forge in what is now the lounge of the Black Horse public house, Rottingdean. In more recent times it was to be found as a separate building, opposite the Plough at the foot of Whiteway Lane.

The forge and the adjacent yard are now the site of Forge House, founded for ex-servicemen in 1972 by the efforts of Elizabeth Dacre to the design of John Denman and Son. His work is all around you in Brighton: Sussex Eye Hospital, The Pylons, Regent House, the Brighton & Hove Herald Offices and Barclays, North Street to name just a few. If you want to know what he looked like he also designed 20 Marlborough Place, next to the King and Queen Public House on London Road where he is included among the craftsmen sculpted over the windows.

Dacre Court today.

In the village forge the blacksmith would have made or mended anything metal but his traditional role was always that of shoeing horses and occasionally draught oxen.

The last Village blacksmith in Rottingdean was Ernie Stenning (1877-1960) he was the son of Nelson Stenning the village baker whom I have mentioned in earlier articles. This picture of Ernie was taken during the second World War by amateur Brighton photographer Percy Luck. Ernest Edward Stenning, Nelson's eldest son, was born in Rottingdean on 21st February 1877. In 1900, Ernest married Madeline Short, a widow who had recently moved to Rottingdean from Worthing. They had two daughters - Janet Lucy and Margaret. Following his apprenticeship, Ernie established his own smithy opposite the Plough Inn around 1905, working as a blacksmith in Rottingdean throughout the Second World War until his retirement around 1950 before his sad death in 1960 by which time he was in his early eighties.

This photograph is Ernie Stenning's smithy in Vicarage Lane, Rottingdean, taken around 1908. He is fourth from left. Then in his early thirties, he is pictured with a hammer in his right hand and a horse-shoe in his left hand. The man behind the camera was probably George William West, a professional photographer who lived in Vicarage Terrace very close to Ernie Stenning's Smithy in Vicarage Lane. A small selection of horseshoes, nails and tools is on display at The Grange. Pictures courtesy of the author and Rottingdean Preservation Society.

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part twelve - Some early nineties services. For any vessel, lifeboats included, the worst sea conditions are usually closest to the shore where the incoming swells stand up and turn into breaking waves as they reach the shallow water. On a beach these waves dissipate their energy driving up the beach but if there is something like a harbour wall they are reflected back seawards and cause a maelstrom when they collide with the next set of incoming waves sometimes doubling the height of the original wave sets. Often this means that the worst conditions are associated with harbour entrances - the very place where mariners are trying to reach for safety. This situation has usually been associated with the most difficult of lifeboat services anywhere, the Sussex coast being typical, especially as the prevailing wind conditions and therefore most storms come in from the south-west. In late 1990 the Lifeboat was called out to a yacht returning to the Marina in rough conditions which had been laid flat on it's side in the surf. On scene the yacht had righted but one crewman, a non swimmer, was still in the water. Lifeboat crew Mike Campbell immediately jumped in and supported the casualty until the lifeboat was able to manoeuvre alongside and pick them both up. The Lifeboat had to put further out to sea in order to find a place beyond the surf to turn to make a safe approach through the entrance to land the casualty to an ambulance before returning to escort the yacht back in. For this service Helmsman Mark Smith and crewmen Mike Campbell and Jez Tate received the RNLI's "Letter of Appreciation". Just after 04.00hrs on 6th January 1991 under the command of Helmsman Stan Todd and crewmen Andy Jervis and Richard Pearce,the lifeboat was launched in horrendous conditions, gusting to Force 10, to a report of two people in the sea close to the Palace Pier. On scene, and staying close inshore while the Newhaven and Shoreham boats searched further offshore, the crew fired white parachute flares to illuminate the area. During the search, huge waves swamped the Brighton boat several times eventually flooding the starboard engine which refused all attempts at restarting. On a single engine in very heavy surf the Lifeboat itself was now at risk and was stood-down by Solent Coastguards from the Service. Re-entry to the Marina was also completely out of the question and the lifeboat made it's way on one engine to Newhaven until conditions improved for it's later return. The search was continued by Shoreham, Newhaven and the SAR helicopter, sadly with nothing found. In January the following year the Lifeboat was launched in rough conditions to a "Mayday" report from a yacht which had lost one of their crew overboard. On scene the remaining yacht crew had succeeded in bringing the yacht round and had been able to recover the casualty who was shaken and suffering from hypothermia. The lifeboat Helmsman put a crewman onto the yacht to assist and requested a helicopter, which was already on route, transfer the casualty to hospital for check up and recovery. Once this was done the Lifeboat escorted the yacht back into Brighton Marina. The significance of this launch was that the yacht crew had immediately requested help the second they realised they had a problem - something that is essential and should always be done. Had they delayed calling for assistance or been unable to recover the casualty quickly it would have ended disastrously as hypothermia would have disabled the victim in minutes and they would have drowned.

Sadly call-outs do not always have a happy ending. In November '93 the lifeboat was called to a report of two people in the water by the Palace Pier. On scene the crew located a man in a life-ring supporting an unconscious woman who were both quickly recovered on board. The woman's heart had stopped and the crew worked strenuously on her while the Lifeboat returned to the Marina at best possible speed to where an ambulance crew were already waiting. The ambulance and lifeboat crew had both done all they could and while her heart did start again for a short while she died soon after. The man, Pier worker Steve Parker, who had jumped in to try and save her was released from hospital the same day. Pranks often go wrong unless someone spots the antics and calls the "cavalry" to assist. Two gents decided to go for a post closing time sail so "borrowed" a dinghy off the beach without realising propulsion would also help. The sea appeared calm since it was an offshore wind and by the time they reached the pier end they capsized. One remained clinging to the upturned boat while the other tried to swim for shore towing the boat. Both ended up against the pier suffering considerable abrasions from the mussel growth,etc. on the uprights. Both were recovered, taken back to the Marina and passed into the tender care of Sussex police who were none too impressed by having the inside of their patrol car soaked in seawater. In August '95 a fire broke out beneath the Palace Pier following an explosion in an electrical sub-station, seriously injuring an electrician. Sixty firemen were called out plus the lifeboat. Atlantic class lifeboat have minimal fire fighting capability but gave invaluably support to the fire crews both for information on the fire movement and safety cover for the firemen who were working in extremely precarious positions on the underside of the pier. A Letter of Thanks from the Fire Officer in charge was received for the extra level of help and assistance given. Volunteers to help fundraising to keep the Lifeboat Service operating locally and nationally are always essential and can give help in many ways. Some are able to give time to help in local events,etc. Some groups have projects where funds collected are given to their local Lifeboat Station and yet another way is by pledging support by donating 25p, 50p or more on a quarterly basis for each call-out that the crew perform. If you would like to be involved or your group would like a talk or a station visit please contact Margaret Kimber on 07786 446901

Life Stories

Writing a Life Story Grace Parker had been telling her two grandchildren about travelling to Australia as one of the Ten Pound Poms when she realised her story might soon be forgotten. “It was such an important time of my life but I never really talk about it,” says Grace. “I wanted to write it down so that my great-grandchildren could find out about what I did.” Many of us regret not knowing more about our parents and grandparents. Photographs are fine while they’re still around to explain who’s who, but will a dusty album mean anything to future generations? Writing your life story can allow your children or grandchildren to learn more about you, deal with unfinished business or even reveal family secrets. If you fancy having a go yourself, you could start by writing a memoir, which doesn’t have to include every detail of your life in chronological order - it’s a story from a life, so focus on key events, such as a career or relationship. If you’re tackling a longer life story, select up to 20 key life events and think about how you can link them to create a narrative. Before you start to write, do plenty of research. You might think you remember everything that’s happened, but look back through old diaries and photographs, listen to music, or visit an old house or school to trigger memories. Decide on the structure and create summaries for each chapter before you start to write. Dialogue and vivid description are great, however, don’t get bogged down in unnecessary detail that slows down the narrative. And remember that a life story isn’t just about you, it’s about other people, so talk to parents, siblings and other key people for their take on events. However, penning and publishing a book can be daunting, so if you need help, a life story writing service like Memory Lane Books can interview you, write up your story in your own words and design a hardback book.

With bad arthritis in her hands, Grace struggled to write her story so turned to the company for help. She adds: “I know that my family have now got a permanent record of my life and hope my book will become a family heirloom!” www.memorylanebooks.co.uk

Cinema Saltdean Film Review

Selma

Cert. 12

Selma is the town in Alabama from where, on 21�� March 1965, 2000 people marched to Montgomery, a trek of three days, in protest against the unjust system of white-only voting laws. The film chronicles the true story of the three-month period in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights for blacks in the face of violent opposition. The movement led by Dr. King and his brothers and sisters succeeded in President Johnson’s signing the Voting Rights Act, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Putting this struggle into context some fifty years later, is not easy. This was a time when America was still at war with Vietnam. John Kennedy had been assassinated two years earlier and Lyndon B Johnson was in the White House. This is a world without personal computers or smartphones. Black soldiers who had fought for their country returned from war with a powerful belief in the US, eager to get their lives back in civvy street: aspiring to the American dream. Their reality was different. The country treated them instead as second class citizens, without the right to vote. White supremacy ruled, especially in the Deep South, where those in privileged positions of power valued less highly the ideals of their country. Kennedy had made passage for the Civil Rights Bill, that Johnson signed in July 1963, though this fell short of granting the black vote. In an historic meeting between Johnson and Dr King, in the White House, the President claimed that he was managing the implementation of the new bill but had “no power” to grant voting rights; instead, claiming that his priority was to “wage war on poverty”. It is reported that Dr. King, after this meeting, left with one mission and that was to “go and get the President some power!”. What followed was a struggle that claimed the lives of many during race riots on the streets, as blacks clashed with right wing conservatives; eventually leading to a face-off on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In the film, this dramatic moment is poignantly recreated on the historically accurate spot in Selma. Oprah Winfrey (Annie Lee Cooper) said that there was something “spiritually powerful about walking in the same space, on the same bridge, as the real people who paved the way for black civil rights”.

There are fine performances by the hamstrung (or reluctant?) LBJ played by Tom Wilkinson. Another Brit., Tim Roth, turns in a creditable performance as the unlikable Gov. George Wallace. The film was made in 2014 but speaks directly to the racial attacks in the US over the recent past. The American dream may still be alive but appears to be unwell. Let’s hope the new US administration learns the historical lessons it should. One of Dr. King’s lines from the film runs: “The President could stop this with the stroke of the pen – but he chooses not to”. Favourite moment? Oprah Winfrey punching out the ‘red neck’ sheriff. Brilliant! Next month’s a funny! Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) squawks and screams her way through the title role in attempt to sing “proper” – and no one has the heart to tell her that she can’t! Jon

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

News from the Lions This month we are pleased to report our support for a sensory room for Autism Sussex based in Brighton. Also, we mention some other important service activities including message in a bottle and ‘It’s a knock out’ from last year. Sensory room for autistic children Our modern life surrounds us with stimulus from a variety of sources that at times can result in ‘sensory overload’ for people with autism. Children, in particular, can benefit from a retreat or a place of calm from our busy, noisy lives. Autism Sussex, based in Brighton, want to build a sensory room to provide a place of peace and safety for local autistic children and adults. Through special lighting, music and objects, important therapeutic relationships can be developed while helping dramatically in crisis situations when the outside world has become too overwhelming. Also, significantly, selfcare and recovery can be promoted along with vital life skills.

If you would like more information on any of our service or fundraising activities or would like to lodge an interest in helping us at our fundraising events please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk. Lion Roger Bluff

With our contact with Autism Sussex, I am pleased to announce that we will provide this critical facility with a donation of £5,000 which will be enough to establish a multi-sensory room and its supporting accessories. This important facility will now be built for local autistic children and adults. Major services activities during last year included the ‘Message in a Bottle’ scheme and we also supported drop off points for used spectacles. These spectacles collected were sent for refurbishment for use in the developing world. Also, we participate each year in ‘It’s a Knockout’, organised by us and other local Lions Clubs, providing lots of fun for children and adults with learning difficulties. To sustain our service activities, we will once again have another busy year in 2017 raising funds and consequently supporting charities and projects in the local community – let’s hope this will continue for a long time to come. The Rottingdean Fayre (17�� June) and Saltdean Gala (15�� July) are good examples, whilst being immensely successful events they are labour intensive and voluntary help at these events is always welcome. If you know a Lion please have a chat with them if you would like to help out at an event this year or you can use the contact details listed below. Stalls are available at the Fayre and Gala for local charities or small traders. Also, for these events, if there are any local performing groups or individuals that would like to take part please get in touch also. Let’s make 2017, our Centenary Year, our best fundraising year yet. To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Local Person

Darryl Anne Mooney My name is Darryl Anne Mooney. I am an independent mum with four children. I live in Rottingdean, East Sussex. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 and was told I needed a mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy or I would die.

women www.orangeawarenesscampaign.com. This should be fully registered in the next few months which is exciting.

I was in my gown, ready to go to theatre to have a mastectomy when I made the life changing decision to walk out of hospital and refuse to have it done.

I am so passionate about helping other women and sharing that there is a choice in healing cancer other than the options in allopathic medicine. I have seen so many people heal naturally and I know my body is healing too!

Since then I have chosen to heal the cancer naturally. It's hasn't been easy but I know I have made the right decision. Unfortunately healing cancer naturally is expensive which includes following an organic vegan diet, vegetable/fruit juices and many natural therapies. I focus on detoxing my body and creating an oxygenated and alkaline environment in my body. I have immune boosting therapies but all are not available on the NHS. At present I am not working and I have had to fundraise to pay for my treatments. In August and November I visited the http://www.klinik-marinus.com/eng/index.html Marinus Klinik in Germany under the fantastic care of Dr Weber. The treatments are working and my cancer markers have reduced from 617 in October to 116 in January. My tumour is now reduced to 2cm. I need to return again to the Klinik on 24th April to 8th May 2017 for two weeks. I am raising £10,000 to cover the costs. I have also started my own charity to help other

It's been a huge journey in faith and love but I have always felt guided by God to do this and I fully know and believe my body is healing and that it's possible to heal cancer without having Chemo, mastectomy or radiotherapy. I am so grateful to everyone who have helped me, supported me and donated to my fund! Since a young girl all I've wanted to be is a mum and I feel so blessed to have four beautiful children and I intend to heal and always be here for them. My youngest son has special needs so it's important that I'm healthy and here for him too. When I am healed I intend to help women with my charity to do the same please God. My children and I are so grateful. We are asking people if they can do fundraising events, share on social media or even if they donate £1 it all helps and goes towards my trip to Germany for lifesaving treatments. https://www.gofundme.com/run-for-darryl Thank you from my heart for being so loving and generous

THE BIG PETITION! A259 South Coast Road Congestion Do you want to see a reduction in the A259 South Coast Road congestion? If so then read on! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll already know that traffic queues start to build earlier and earlier in the day and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get stuck in traffic anywhere between Brighton Marina and Newhaven in either direction. There are lots of new planning applications coming in for housing along this stretch of road with no increased infrastructure planned. The High Street in Rottingdean is a designated Air Quality Management Area and recently, the central roads in Newhaven have also been designated as an Air Quality Management Area. This stretch of the A259 South Coast Road covers two local Councils, B&HCC and ESCC, the boundary being in the middle of Saltdean. What is the plan? SAFE are petitioning B&HCC and ESCC to work with each other to carry out a joint traffic evaluation study as well as an economic impact study of the detrimental effects caused by traffic congestion and to inform local residents what road infrastructure improvements will be required before further housing development takes place.

Sign the Big Petition: Please sign both the B&HCC and ESCC petitions online to show your support for action to take place! When you register your support you will be able to see the full wording of the petition. It is important to sign both petitions. http://www.safe-rottingdean.org.uk/?p=1605 There are also paper versions of the petition in Handy Hardware, Mad Wax Candles, Comptons Estate Agents, The Plough and Black Horse in Rottingdean. Join SAFE and help fight traffic congestion, air pollution & Local Green Space Designation! Contact us for details.

Local Person

David Attree The names on the local buses may not always be instantly familiar, but the “Attree” surname has its place firmly in the local area’s history. You may have seen the “Thomas Attree” bus in Brighton and, although I am happily settled in Saltdean, my lifestyle and housing is not quite as lavish as my forebearer’s! At one point, Thomas Attree (locally known at the time as the “King of Brighton”) owned Queen’s Park and his role as Solicitor to the Prince Regent gave him key roles in developing the Royal Pavilion and Sussex County Hospital. His home, Attree Villa, was a prominent building in the area, with the Pepper-Pot tower part of the grounds. He lived here until his death in 1863, and was known for his charitable work in his later years. The villa was used as a college from 1909 – 1966. Sadly, it fell into disrepair and although it had listed status, was demolished in 1972, as the council at the time did

Former footballers, including England captain Terry Butcher, Viv Anderson, Les Ferdinand and Alan Smith are taking part, and the sense of community on the ride is very strong. Prostate Cancer currently takes someone from us every hour, and my father in law is undergoing treatment for the advanced stages of the disease. I have local friends in the Deans too who are affected by it, are living with it, or have had treatment just in time to fend it off. If any locals have been affected by Prostate Cancer and would like to help Prostate Cancer UK to reach more men, help the families of those dealing with loss, or the treatment of a loved one, my sponsorship site can be found here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/David-Attree2 I hope the Deans community may be able to help, and I promise to send in photos from the finish line in Amsterdam in June!

Attree Villa in Queens Park, demolished in 1972.

not have the money to restore it. There are still traces of Attree Villa at the top end of the park, with the gazebo still standing as a reminder of former times. Though not as “connected” as my ancestor, my time at the moment is focusing on charitable efforts too. I am beginning work at the Blind Veteran’s UK Centre in Ovingdean, doing home visits in the Deans and recording some of the stories and memories that the residents and visitors have locked away, ready for a new generation to hear. I am also riding from London to Amsterdam this June, to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. It is a long journey of around 160 miles, ridden over 2 days and starting from the Olympic velodrome.
