Welcome

Welcome to the October Edition I’m hoping that this month’s cover photo by Colette Langton doesn’t set the scene for what a local family of intrepid explorers will experience on their round the world voyage (pg 51)! We wish them all the best, with a note of envy, as it sounds like they are set to experience more adventure than most of us see in a lifetime, they will be keeping everyone updated as far as possible via Social Media so check out the links on the page. Another busy month for events and local news this month, so we have only been able to give a small amount of space over to a couple of these, please see our events section on page 45. Trying to fit everything is in is good problem to have so as usual I’ll put my request here for readers to keep their stories and activity news coming in, we get lots of people saying how much they like to read these, so I can assure you that you are not wasting your time.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 97

5 Reasons Your Computer is Slow There are a whole host of reasons that your computer or laptop has slowed down, but whatever the reason, it leads to frustration on your part when your equipment is working as well as it should. Based upon what we’ve seen of late, we’ve compiled a list of five common reasons that your computer is slower than it used to be. Hard Drive: This is a crucial component in your computer. It’s the main data storage hardware device and the operating system, software titles, and most other files are stored here. Hard drives can fail, they can become corrupted, and they can get full up. A health check on your laptop or computer can ascertain whether your hard drive needs some TLC. Viruses: Or malware. Or spyware. Or any other infection that your computer has succumbed to will have an adverse effect on the speed of your systems. Even if you have an anti-virus installed on your computer, you could still have an infection. If you can, run a virus scan on your computer to see if something has slipped past you.

Out Of Date: If you’ve been side-lining the prompts to update your systems this could be slowing you down. Out of date Windows (or any other platform you may be using) and other software leaves your systems more open to attack and will affect your computer’s speed. Memory: Depending upon the age of your computer and what you use it for, your memory may well have reached breaking point. Many computers have the capacity for more memory to be installed and again, a PC health check will pinpoint if this is your problem and if your computer can be upgraded. Age: It catches up with us all at some point and this includes our technology. Laptops have an estimated shelf life of about two years, desktops a bit longer, but if you’ve had the same computer for several years it may be more economical to replace it than to try and get it fixed.

Clifden House

Sporting Fun at Clifden House Helps those with Dementia The positive effects of ball based activities on dementia is being assessed daily by leading dementia care centre, Clifden House, Seaford. Clifden House has invested in table tennis and snooker facilities and residents are encouraged to take part in both on a regular basis. Recent research from The National Centre for Biotechnology Information (US) found that coordination training, such as table tennis and snooker, can lead to improvements in functions for dementia patients, particularly those who maybe less physically active. Wendy Suzuki, professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University said: “Table tennis stimulates overall awareness and enhances player’s motor skills to effectively improve the function of the brain.”

and caring, and treat residents with kindness, compassion and understanding while supporting people to enable them to remain as independent as possible. “A wide range of activities are available for people to participate in if they wish. External entertainers are provided regularly with music to suit a range of tastes and interests. For those who like a quieter life the gardens offer a secure and safe environment to take a stroll. The home keep hens and those who chose to could assist in their upkeep.” Follow www.facebook.com/clifdenhouse for information, advice and tips on coping with dementia.

Since introducing table tennis and snooker to the activities at Clifden House, the team at the specialist dementia care centre has seen an improvement in some residents’ physical activity and levels of engagement. Both of these are particularly important when dealing with the debilitating effects of dementia. Nial Joyce of Clifden House said: “Not only is it fantastic to see positive physical changes in the residents but it is great to see people connecting and having fun with each other, staff and visitors. It is also an activity that can be accessed by those who may be chair bound making it accessible for all.” These activities are a part of Clifden House’s extensive activity schedule, which is a mainstay of Clifden’s delivery of care to promote a fulfilled life. Individual and group activities include outings and trips, from fishing to bowls, music therapy, cookery and gardening are all provided. CQC Inspectors on their latest unannounced inspection found that Clifden House staff are “kind If you have a local article to publish email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Christmas Tree Festival

St Margaret’s fourth Christmas Tree Festival Now in its fourth year, the Christmas Tree Festival at St Margaret’s Church in Rottingdean will take place on Friday 1��, Saturday 2ⁿ� and Sunday 3�� December. In the church there will be around 40 trees, some traditionally-decorated, others more modern in design; some will be glitzy, some colourful, some even unusual. But each will be amazing in its own way and will contribute to, once again, making this a popular and entertaining family event. The organisers hope the festival will again attract entries from local children, adults, groups, organisations, and businesses. Entries are now being welcomed and further details are available on the church website. The closing date for entries is Thursday 12�� October.

The Festival will be open to the public from Friday 1�� to Sunday 3�� December. There will be a modest entrance fee with proceeds going to the upkeep and general maintenance of our parish church of St Margaret’s. Refreshments will be available during the Festival in St Margaret’s Cottage. Further information can be found at www.stmargaret.org.uk.

Osteopathy tips

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

Plantar Fasciitis Also known as Plantar Fasciopathy, Policeman's Heal, Runner's Heel; thickening of the plantar fascia, one of the most common causes of heel pain, estimated to affect 10% of general population. Thickening can be due to recent damage or injury, or an accumulation of smaller injuries over the years. It can be extremely painful and once chronic it can prove difficult to treat successfully. Other pathologic disorders can mimic the symptoms and clinical presentation of this disorder. Anatomy: The plantar fascia is the thick, broad band of connective tissue supporting the arch underneath the sole of the foot. Its elastic, collagen fibers run from the calcaneum (heel bone) forward to the heads of the metatarsal bones, which join the toes to the mid-foot. It has a critical role in normal mechanical function of the foot, undergoing tension during weight bearing and elongating in the contact phase of gait (walking). It is closely related to the achilles tendon, which joins the gastrocnemius (calf) muscle to the heel and is important in proprioception and motor co-ordination. Symptoms: Pain in the bottom of the foot, especially on the heel bone. It is generally worse first thing in the morning, when standing up after long sitting and when standing or walking, particularly in unsupportive shoes. Causes: Repetitive strain on the fascia from a new form of exercise or sudden increase in intensity of exercise, especially high impact; long distance runners using tartan (synthetic all weather) track more than 25% of the time; regularly standing for several hours; a change in shoes, i.e. suddenly switching from regular high-heels to flats; wearing shoes with weak arch supports and thin soles. Having flat feet or very high arches, uneven leg length, unusual foot position or tight achilles tendon; being overweight. Medical conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis: Based on medical history, symptoms, examination and pressing on the sole of the foot. Shear wave elastography shows (stiffness) elasticity of the plantar fascia, which decreases with age (thickness increases) and in patients with plantar fasciitis. Gluten Sensitivity: musculoskeletal problems can be related. Treatment: Medical interventions include anti-inflammatory pain medication, ultrasound, steroid injections and surgery after 6 months of failed conservative treatments. Orthotics (insoles), stretching, taping, dry needling based on myofascial meridians and manual therapy are also helpful.

Injections: Corticosteroid more effective when guided by ultrasound than palpation; associated with increased risk of plantar fascia rupture; needs further research. Platelet-rich plasma more effective and durable than cortisone in chronic recalcitrant cases. Intramuscular botulinum toxin (Botox) in gastroc-soleus (calf) muscles with plantar fascia stretching exercises better than corticosteroid. Hyaluronan into fascia, due to its high concentration of hyaluronan. Cryoultrasound Therapy: could be efficient for chronic cases. Shock Wave Therapy: safe, effective treatment for plantar fasciitis and chronic pain symptoms. More effective when combined for plantar fasciitis and gastroc-soleus (calf muscle) trigger points; more research needed. Radiofrequency: into plantar fascia during endoscopy can be satisfactory treatment. Radiofrequency calcaneal nerve ablation was effective for chronic pain associated with plantar fasciitis that did not respond to other conservative treatment. Surgery: fasciotomy (percutaneous latticed plantar) minimally invasive clinic procedure under local anaesthetic. Isolated proximal medial gastrocnemius (calf muscle) release is a simple, reliable procedure, providing far better results than conventional partial proximal fasciotomy). Osteopathic/Manual Management: Adjusting feet and ankle bones, soft tissue and myofascial techniques, stretching, dry needling, taping, orthotics, home rehabilitation exercises; attention to back and neck due to effects of long term limping.

Local history - Part 65

Rottingdean School Rottingdean School was begun in the early 1800’s by Dr Hooker when he was Vicar residing at what is now the Grange… Mike Laslett

It expanded first to a property in the High Street which we regard today as St Aubyns, where it became known as Field House, then finally to a purpose built School on the northern edge of the village in Falmer Road. Opened in 1894 by Headmasters Henry and George Mason, it included eleven acres of playing fields.

Ian Sheet (10) writes “ I am playing a game of stumper with Bright-Holmes. it is endless so far I am 1320 and he is 1290……My father had to go back to the Sudan…he left on the Friday before the Sunday war was declared.” Hugh Norton (12) writes: “The gym has been fortified with sandbags and earth and has been made entirely gas proof. We have been having a lot of Air Raid Precaution practise.” Despite the last activity, the school was evacuated, firstly to the Metropole Hotel at Padstow in Cornwall then to Sheafhayne Manor near Honiton, Devon. The boys continued to write: “I think my pater is safe in Kharthoum, don’t you?!” In their absence the school was occupied by Canadian soldiers. The pictures below show the sparse facilities at Sheafhayne Manor.

Above: Two views of Rottingdean school.

Noteworthy though the Headmasters were, one of the most famous masters was Sgt Johnson from Nevill Road who had fought in the Boer War. Nicknamed Sagi, he was the gym master until he retired at seventy but he lived to be over a hundred, ending his days as a Chelsea Pensioner. There is not room here to write a full history of the school but perhaps I may give a flavour of school life as World War Two began by quoting from letters written by pupils past and present to their old history teacher “Wally” Hammond, who had recently moved on to a headship elsewhere. From “Pussy” at St Johns, Leatherhead: “Here there is much less fear of beatings than at Rottingdean; there are therefore more sins committed than at Rottingdean. Smoking is very common. Gambling and betting are not so bad but at The Derby there was plenty…” From Stowe : You will be amused to hear that I won the endowed prize for “Latin Oration” given for declaring a passage from Cicero’s 2ⁿ� Philippic!” …..I have a car..a 1926 12 H.P. Austin (hood etc.) max speed 50 m.p.h. cruising at 40-45 m.p.h.” From Wellington College: “ I met Piggy Partridge last hols” From Rottingdean School: John Nicols (11) writes “My uncle was on The Royal Oak but he was saved”

n 1962 the then vacant school was severely damaged by fire. It was sold to NATSOPA the print union as a convalescent home who promised to convert the building but eventually rebuilt on the site. This building in turn was demolished in 1999 to make way for the attractive residential development Burnes Vale .

World Sailing Family Irenka is a beach lifeguard coxswain for Brighton and Hove City Council, a volunteers RNLI crew member in Brighton Marina, as well as a mother of three… She has sailed in many parts or the world and met her preparations and already built a modest following on husband Woody, while working in Greece as a sailing Youtube and Facebook despite not even getting our instructor and skipper for Neilson Active Holidays. In feet wet. So hopefully, by the time this is in print, we’ll October, she and her family are setting off on the be uploading the first vlog from our new home on the adventure of a lifetime. Here, she talks to the Deans sea. Magazine about her plans: Fair winds!” “As a kid, I always had this ambition - to sail around the https://www.youtube.com/c/MotherShipAdrift world. And now, despite gaining a husband, three kids https://www.facebook.com/mothershipadrift and a mortgage along life’s way, that dream is finally about to happen. This month we’ll be upping sticks to go sailing the world. The story of this journey begins with the biggest and most difficult step of all - uprooting ourselves from our safe and comfortable life here in Rottingdean and saying goodbye to all our friends, family and community. We’ve sold most of our belongings, quit our jobs, rented out the house and taken the kids out of school. With a deep commitment to autonomous and sustainable living and a desire to live a truly selfsufficient and independent lifestyle we’ll be joining our recently acquired boat in Greece to start a new life afloat. We’ve planned, saved and sacrificed so much Irenka with two of her RNLI Colleagues over the years to reach this point, it seems almost surreal to be making these final preparations. We don't know how far we’ll get, but making the journey as a family, doing it as a team and seeing how the kids can cope with life on the ocean waves will all be part of the great adventure. When you’re offshore, you can’t just pick up the Deans Magazine for the number of a plumber or electrician, or pop to the village shop to stock up on forgotten groceries, everything has to be stored or made onboard from electricity to water, from bread to the kids favourite - chocolate pudding! But the thought of seeing different countries, wildlife and cultures is a massive draw for us. The family all together The idea of living autonomously without a school and without the resources that we have at a click of a button is admittedly, nerve-racking. The teachers at St Margarets in Rottingdean do a wonderful job and our kids have flourished there. Providing that same level of education and support for them will be extremely difficult, but I'm hoping the world will become their classroom and that they’ll learn from different cultures and meet other boat kids from all over the world. We really want to keep a record of our journey so another massive learning curve has been video blogging. We’ve been getting to grips with social media Irenka in a scene from one of her Vlogs and video technology while documenting our To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Deans Tuition Group

Positive Tuition A new affordable tuition service comes to the Deans area… “We’re really excited to be part of the community. We’ve had a great initial response and we’re looking forward to a long future in the area.” “Twenty years back or so, private tuition was reserved for a privileged few who were academically not so bright. Even then, private tuition was largely confined to one or two subjects. Over the years, private tuition has become an integral part of the formal school education system.” Lisa Brierley adds: “Struggling is a horrible feeling for anyone. Being confident and believing that we can tackle problems is a skill that’s very important in the workplace. We will give your child the best possible opportunity with our tailor-made tuition.” “We are the only tuition centre in the area that offers weekly feedback to the parents. Our aim is for each and every child to become an independent, advanced learner, with a positive attitude to study.”

By studying the Maths and English programmes, students develop independent learning skills and increased self-confidence as they work out how to overcome challenges by themselves. A daily homework task accelerates learning and we make the sessions enjoyable and motivating. At the same time, we ensure that the student receives the individual education and support needed in order to achieve. For older students, small group tuition in Maths and Science gives the confidence to achieve in their GCSEs. The centre provides after-school tuition for children aged five to 16, and covers maths and English, 11-plus and GCSE preparation for exams.

Cinema Saltdean Film Review

Lion

Cert. PG An Emotional Roller Coaster in India During the summer, we were in France. We parked our car in a city* that we had never visited previously and Linda (the better half of me) took a picture with her phone camera, of the street sign where our car was parked – very wise. So, what’s this to do with Cinema Saltdean’s film this month? Well, ‘Lion’ is about getting lost - and getting lost big time. This is the story of a small boy, part Mowgli and part Sabu (i.e., Sabu Dastagir), who, when left waiting all night while his brother worked, fell asleep on a parked train; and woke up thousands of kilometres away from his home and family.

to his childhood home? If so, what might he find? What of the relationships along the way?

Living on our small island, it’s hard to appreciate the size of India: language changes with region and, for a small kid who had never left his tiny home village, this detachment is daunting. Equally daunting is the prospect of falling prey to the seedier side of India’s big cities: UNICEF estimates that there are 11 million street kids in India.

This is engaging stuff and Dev Patel has secured his acting future by playing this more substantial role than the knockabout hotel manager in the “Marigold Hotel” films. Splendid performances too from Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman: the latter seems to be taking more parts these days that stretch her as an actor; and ‘Lion’ in no exception. And for those of you watching BBC’s ‘Top of the Lake’, John Wenham (who plays Robin’s boss, Al) here puts in a creditable performance as Saroo’s adoptive father.

‘Lion’ is a film of two halves. The first part of the film is the story of the 5-year-old boy Saroo (played by Sunny Pawar: there is very little dialogue and it is the more effective for this, emphasising both the difficulty of communicating in another language, and the sense of confusion. Nowadays a quick call on a mobile - anyone’s mobile - would probably have gone a long way to sort out this plight. And this is where date becomes a factor: technology plays a bigger part in this story than one might imagine. This is the late eighties; a period when we were less techno-centric: no smartphones, few personal computers – hard to imagine, through 21�� Century eyes, and with a plethora of opportunities to communicate globally. The film looks beautiful and India proves, once again, an easy location to wow us: point your camera in any direction and you have the wonderful, the disturbing, and the strangely lovely.

This true story is incredible in its scope and probability; and second guessing the outcome correctly will probably catch you out.

What better way to extend the summer than watching a real Indian summer? If I were you though, I would bring a hanky. Jon *The French city was Nantes. Join us next month, for another visit to India: ‘Viceroy’s House’ (12A)

The second part of the film is the story of Saroo having become a man (now played by Dev Patel). He has been adopted by a Tasmanian couple, John and Sue Brierley (David Wenham & Nicole Kidman). Clearly the boy Saroo survives: family ties are strong; and the will to want to return to his homeland and family becomes a driving force. Will Saroo the man be able to find his way back

to receive help from members of the Saltdean Residents Association (SRA) during the Lions Gala in the Oval this year after our plea for help in their recent summer Resident newsletter. On behalf of the Lions, I would like to thank the SRA for their assistance. For the longer term, we will soon be planning for our 2018 summer events. We realise that these days are much loved in the local community and we want to do our upmost to continue. We would, therefore, like to ask for volunteers to help us. For example, lightening the load at the end of a long day can make all the difference. Please make contact to let us know if you are interested and could spare a couple of hours. We will be pleased to contact you for help nearer the time as our events come up. Many thanks. If you would like more information on any of our services, fundraising activities, the SlimShack Concert, booking a team at our Sponsored Swim, and also for registering interest in helping us in the future please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk.

After another busy summer season for us, we are taking stock of our wide ranging fundraising activities. From our Fayre at Rottingdean Village Green, the annual Lions Gala at Saltdean Oval, our bar and barbeque at the Rottingdean Village Fair and of course the bar we provide for the Armed Forces Day at Blind Veterans UK. These days mainly involve early starts and late finishes for the Lions involved. Putting up marquees and taking them down again at the end of the day needs helping hands, not forgetting setting up our barbecue, bar and the numerous games we lay on. And like everyone else, us Lions aren’t getting any younger. These activities, however, are very important to us as they raise a large proportion of the valuable funds for our service activities for local charities and community/Lions projects. We were, therefore, very pleased

Grange Gallery events There is a whiff of autumn in the air, so a moment to have a final coffee or cream tea in the Lutyens and Jekyll designed walled garden, then wander into the Grange Art Gallery... 20 October – 14 November: Red 21 September - 3 October: Rafaele Appleby Just time to see the visual journey of painter Rafaele Appleby, great-grand-daughter of William Nicholson. “I was delighted to have an exhibition here, so I visited many of the places around Rottingdean where William liked to paint. I was bursting with ideas when I got home and the exhibition is part of that. I can see paths that still need exploring.” 5 – 17 October: Slater’s Sussex The woodcuts of Eric Slater and his Japanese friend, Yoshijjiro Urushibara. Slater produced more than thirty colour woodcuts, mainly of Sussex. Seven years ago, James Trollope, author of “Slater’s Sussex” bought one of Seaford Head. “A lovely image of my home town, but I could find little about the artist’s life, so started my own research.” Slater died in obscurity but his legacy is now highly collectable, his name is on a Brighton and Hove bus and his work has been appraised on The Antiques Roadshow. Some woodcuts and numbered prints will be on sale in the Art Gallery. And on 13 October 7.00 – 9.00 James Trollope will talk about Slater at the Whiteway Centre. Admission £8 including drinks and nibbles. To book email MikeGregory@rwc.org.uk or phone 07913753493.

Red as inspiration is the first collective exhibition of the group Platform. Each artist has taken a starting point to Red, influenced by their own practice and explored through a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, film, site-specific installation, photography and drawing. Participating are: Jane Andrews, Lucy Brown, Gabby Dempster, Helen Goodwin, Caitlin Heffernan, Eva Kalpadaki, Jane Ponsford, Teresa Whitfield, Jayne Wilson.

Ideas for Your Home October is a lovely month, crisp, cosy and comforting. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, and once the summer clothes have been stored away in favour of warmer layers, why not address your home too? With the daylight hours changing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to use timer switches to set lamps to come on and off whenever is convenient for you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much nicer to come home to a warm, and light home. Simple changes to the home during the time of changing seasons, can help make the most of our living environments and general day to day life easier. Wet and windy weather can cause extra mess especially for the dog walkers and parents amongst us! Is there a way to help avoid muddy boots and paws dirty our hallways? Perhaps clearing a path and accessing your home through a side gate could help. Does your porch or hallway need organising to accommodate coats and boots, can you replace your door mat in favour of a larger or more hardwearing one for the muddier months?

Cushions, throws and rugs can all add interesting textures and colours that embrace the change of seasons. Soft lighting adds a wonderful atmosphere, can you find a home for a lamp by a comfy chair and create a cosy corner somewhere? I always like to advise my clients that our homes can alter and improve by making slight changes, and simply rearranging what we already have. I love to help clients see their homes with fresh eyes, without the need to buy more! How can you improve your home and get cosy this October? For any help and advice please contact Michelle via www.pebbleshomestyle.com
