Bosham teacher jailed Village resident sentenced for historic sex abuse

Susanna Reid

news@chichesterherald.co.uk

A FORMER teacher at schools in North Worcestershire and Oxfordshire was this week (Tuesday, 20 May) jailed for 13 years for sexually abusing pupils in his care during the 1980s. Jonathan O’Brien, aged 56, of Fairfield Road, Bosham, West Sussex, was sentenced at Chichester Crown Court after being convicted in December, 2013, of 15 counts of indecent assault. He had denied all the charges but was found guilty after a four-week trial.

The offences were committed against six boys at Winterfold House, Chaddesley Corbett, near Kidderminster, between 1980 and 1985 and against three pupils at The Oratory School, near Reading, between 1985 and 1989. Passing sentence His Honour Judge Richard Fraser spoke of the suffering recounted in victim impact statements. He said: “The sentiments expressed reflect the evidence that each of them gave in court - a number of them unable to hold back tears as they were forced to relive your abuse.” “It was abundantly clear from the understandably emotional evidence they gave during your trial that your Man stabbed in the street in Chichester

actions have left a very dark shadow which each them has had to find ways to deal with.” O’Brien was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and also made the subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) under which he will be banned on release from living of sleeping in the same household as a child under the age of 16 unless with the express approval of his managing Public Protection Officer (PPO). He will also be prohibited from having any unsupervised contact or communication with anyone aged under 16 unless it is inadvertent or not reasonably avoidable in the

Village resident sentenced for historic sex abuse course of normal daily life, or it is with the consent and approval of the PPO. Detective Sergeant Steve Cook, who led the investigation for North Worcestershire CID, said that inquiries began in November (2012) when a man came forward to say that he had been sexually abused at Winterfold School by O’Brien who taught subjects including sports and photography there in the early 80s. The victim informed former school friends about the investigation and that led to other victims coming forward including some who had attended The Oratory School. Further victims, including some now living abroad, contacted the police after O’Brien was initially arrested and charged in February last year (2013). The trial heard that the offences had involved pupils who were boarding at both schools and some had taken place at O’Brien’s private residence in Oxfordshire while he was teaching at The Oratory. Det Sgt Cook said: “O’Brien engaged in the systematic abuse

of boys over a long period of time. In doing so he also disgracefully abused the position of trust he was in and that was particularly relevant in this case as he was teaching in boarding schools where the children were away from their families and had nowhere else to go. “He exploited their vulnerability and they did not feel at that time that they could come forward because ‘it wasn’t the thing to do’ and that they wouldn’t be believed. Now they are extremely relieved that this has come out into the open. “O’Brien refused to comment when we questioned him about these matters despite the growing weight of the evidence against him. It has been a further aggravating feature of the case that his denials forced his victims to go through the ordeal of testifying in court. “The fact that some of them were prepared to travel long distances from abroad in order to do so illustrates how determined they were to expose O’Brien and I would also like to echo the judge’s remarks during sentencing by

paying tribute to all the witnesses for the amazing courage they have shown in coming forward. “Let us also not forget the wider impact this has had on friends and family and the wider community around the schools where this happened.” Det Sgt Cook said that it had been harrowing and logistically difficult case to investigate and he praised the dedication of the officers from North Worcestershire who had worked on it with help from colleagues at Sussex Police. He added: “These were extremely serious offences and that is reflected by the sentence handed down by the court today. Hopefully the victims can now put this behind them knowing that O’Brien is paying for his crimes. “We hope that if there are other victims of O’Brien we are not aware of, this will give them the confidence to come forward as well as reassuring victims of similar offences that even if these matters are reported many years later we will still investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible to justice.”

£4 million investment into Enterprise Gateway to boost the local economy CHICHESTER DISTRICT COUNCIL has announced that £4 million will be invested into a new Enterprise Gateway, providing 90 offices, studios and workshops in a new purpose built development for local businesses. It is forecast that the project, which would be based on Terminus Road in Chichester, could create around 275 new jobs every three years and contribute to an improvement in business survival rates. It is expected to be completed in summer 2016. The project will offer businesses flexibility on taking accommodation, with the ability to rent space for just two weeks. The aim is to help businesses get off to

a good start and to have access to the support that they need to make their business successful. This will include working with local education providers and business support groups to offer support and business mentoring schemes. The council’s research shows that the area is in need of a new high quality development where new businesses can rent space. The aim is to work in partnership with other organisations in the development and operating stage. Councillor Josef Ransley, Cabinet Member for Support Services at Chichester District Council, says: “This dedicated, modern facility will enable businesses to grow and flourish,

helping to create new, high quality jobs for local people. “We want to encourage economic growth in the district and this project is a major part of the council’s encouragement of local business development. It will give a real boost to businesses over the next few years, which will be of real and lasting value in our area.” Ninety business units ranging from 100 to 750 sq ft will be offered, with some of the space offering flexible rental terms. The development will offer office, studio and workshop units, along with dedicated car parking on a 1.5 acre site.

MY WALLET My wallet is as thick as a 1980’s mobile phone. Not with twenties, but with till receipts. BANKERS The new book de jour for those who wish they were clever is; “Capital In The Twenty-First Century” by Thomas Pikkety. It says that the more money you have the easier it is to make mo re, but like never before.The profits at the top end (people who own their own wealth) are four times the lower end (people who own their own labour). Bankers are reading it and going “Hur Hur right on!” But remember boys, this is a Frenchman and the French have their own solution for the top end who reach above themselves. They get topped and end up a foot below their previous height. OLD MOBILE PHONES I miss the bulky old ones, their simplicity. You could either call somebody, or they could call you; that was it. Who needs all this Smart and App?

TILL RECEIPTS On Saturday morning I bought a black pudding and a Racing Post in a Chichester supermarket. The till receipt was over a foot long. It included the time and date twice, details about my debit card such as the Auth Code, AID; a 14 digit thing, a Cryptogram (18 digits and letters), Pan Seq and a TID. Such efficiency. Mind, it was Friday’s Racing Post they sold me...

COINCIDENCE A mathematician argues that it would be more of a coincidence if coincidences never happened. On Saturday lunchtime I was buying cement at Covers and got talking to a fellow customer about this column, he said it was a coincidence meeting me as he’d just been reading this column having coffee in town. We gassed away for 5 minutes as blokes do. My cement was loaded by the excellent guys at Covers so I said to the customer jokingly: “I’ll tell you the rest of it next time we meet...” Next day I walked into Homebase and ran immediately into the same man. Obviously the odds are shortened because we were both having a DIY weekend, but still it made us laugh.

Fraudster tries to claim fake Man stabbed in the refunds from Chichester shops street in Chichester

DO YOU recognise this man? Police want to speak to him after a man tried to trick shop staff into giving them refunds for items he had simply taken off the shelves. The offender visited shops in Chichester on 2 May, 3 May and 6 May, selected items from the displays and then took them to the counter where he told staff he had bought them days or weeks earlier. In each case he said a member of his family had cut themselves so badly while opening the packaging that they had gone to hospital to have stitches and that after he had

spoken to the company’s head office he had been told to go into the shop itself. On two occasions - at Boots on 2 May and at Cath Kidston on 3 May - the man left empty handed but on the third, at Cargo on 6 May, he was given a refund despite having only picked the item involved off the shelf. The man police would like to speak to is 45 to 55, 5’ 9” to 5’ 11” and of average build. He has grey hair and was wearing a blue jacket and rusty or brown trousers. Response investigator Kym

Belding said: “The offender is clearly very bold as he is quite brazen about the way he opens packaging in the shop and demands cash from the staff. “It is possible that he has tried this in other shops in Chichester or other parts of Sussex and I would like to speak to any store staff who have experienced this. “If you know who the man in the CCTV is or where he could be please contact us so we can speak to him urgently.” Anyone with information should call 101, email 101@sussex.pnn. police.uk or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an assault on a 23-year-old man in Chichester. The man was attacked in St Paul’s Road, Chichester at about 4.40pm on Saturday (May 17). The victim was walking close to the One Stop Shop when he was approached by a man who stabbed him in the lower back. He was taken to St Richard’s Hospital with a stab wound, it is not believed to be life threatening. At this time the suspect can only be described as a white man, short and wearing a blue hooded top. After the assault he was seen to run off towards the Parklands area. Detective Constable Gavin

Percival from Chichester CID said: “This was a cowardly attack which resulted in serious injury and has no place on the streets of Chichester. We do believe this was a targetted attack and the victim and suspect may be known to each other. If you saw a person, matching this description, running on the day or can provide any information that could assist the investigation please do not hesitate to contact me. “Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call 101 quoting serial 1092 of 17/5. Alternatively, call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

New round of funding launched for community, voluntary and sports groups in West Sussex VOLUNTARY, COMMUNITY AND SPORTS groups across West Sussex are being invited to get their bids in to a funding pot of more than £400,000. Another round of Community Initiative Funding has been launched following the success of last year’s scheme where more than 200 groups and organisations across the county received funding totalling nearly £406,000. The applications and awards - administered by County Local Committees (known as CLCs) varied from £2,500 for tools and equipment for Bolney Volunteers, £2,778 to provide wet rooms for the Crawley and District Scout Hut and £250 to print brochures for the 11th Selsey Festival. Some of the CLCs that had money left over allocated some or all of it to their respective local food banks or to the County Council’s Operation Watershed to support communityled projects that reduce the risk of future flooding in West Sussex that could not have otherwise been carried out. West Sussex County Council

Cabinet Member for Corporate Relations, Bob Lanzer, who has responsibility for the committees and the Community Initiative Funding, said: “The CLCs, through the use of Community Initiative Funding, provide very welcome support to the local clubs, societies and voluntary groups in their areas when funding from other sources may not be available. These awards help benefit the wider community in making these groups more sustainable or enable them to run events that would not otherwise be able to take place. “Local voluntary and community groups will be pleased to hear that another £426,000 of CIF is available again in 2014/15 and I would encourage them to submit an application if they need support for a project in their community.” Applications are considered by the CLCs four times a year and the public are welcome to attend those meetings. Information about how to apply for funding can be found at www.westsussex. gov.uk Applications can be made throughout the year.

County Councillor targeted by phone scammers backs national campaign to raise awareness RESIDENTS across West Sussex are being encouraged to continue to fight back against fraudsters as Scams Awareness Month switches its focus towards telephone hoaxes. West Sussex County Council’s Trading Standards Service is backing the national month-long initiative and is warning people to be on their guard and look out for others who might fall victim to con artists. One West Sussex County Councillor who almost fell foul of phone scammers has spoken out this week about his experience in support of the campaign Graham Jones, who represents Felpham, said: “A female alleging to be a Police Officer from Paddington Police Station phoned to inform me that they had someone in custody who had been arrested with a number of cloned bank cards in his possession, one of which was mine. “I was urged to contact my bank immediately; the lady was insistent and extremely pushy, choosing not

to empathise with my situation but rather stress that I got in touch with my bank. “She was very brief and advised me to comply on a number of occasions. “Although I was wary, I did call to begin the process of providing my bank details but stopped when they asked me for my security code. I felt that was odd. “Her abruptness had hit a nerve and the penny dropped when she rang a second time demanding my details. “After checking my balance online to ensure it was okay, I contacted Sussex Police who responded very quickly and confirmed it was a scam as someone in Barnham had reported a similar incident that morning. “If they had acquired all of my bank details there would have been nothing I could do.” Councillor Jones is urging residents of West Sussex to be

watchful of potential fraudsters in their area. He said: “There are a lot of vulnerable people out there who may not be savvy enough and would take such a request at face value. That is my main concern. “Some may react too quickly when they should be more guarded to such demands. “From my experience, we should make sure phone numbers and addresses are verified thus reducing the chances of people falling into the clutches of scammers. “I would advise caution as this can happen to anyone.” Get advice and report scams to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service on 08454 04 05 06 or online support. If you know someone who has sent money in response to a scam or has fallen victim to doorstep callers you can also report your concerns direct to West Sussex Trading Standards Service online.

Stars come out for Hospice’s sixth Moonlight Walk

ST WILFRID’S HOSPICE’S sixth Moonlight Walk was a fantastic night with 600 people putting their best foot forward. Many people walked in memory of loved ones who have been under the care of the Hospice while others simply wanted to help raise money for a local cause. Before the walk began, there was

music from steel pan musician Jim Bernadin and a performance by the Regis Troopers. Walkers were also invited to decorate their T-shirts and write messages to loved ones on our special Memory Tree created specially by Birdham-based Bruce Kings of Creative Willow. Clare McTernan led a rousing

warm-up before our walkers set off from the Westgate Leisure Centre, heading up to Centurion Way and then winding their way around Chichester. Caz Martin said: “Brilliant, the Moonlight Walk was lovely, I only did the five miles but had a great night. Well done everyone and a huge thank you to everyone.”

Community and Events Officer, Julie Longman, said: “Thanks to all our walkers, it was a wonderful night and we are really pleased with the numbers that turned out. The figures for the amount raised look very promising, we hope to have raised more than £60,000, but by the middle of June we’ll have a more exact figure. “Our volunteers did a wonderful job encouraging our walkers on their way and ensuring people were following the route. While the threats of rain thankfully did not

materialise, the weather was windy and cold in places, so we are very grateful to our marshals for giving up their time to help. Thanks to everyone who made the walk happen, it really is a community effort.” To see photos of the event, go to the Hospice’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/ stwilfridschichester gallery

Lessons from history, hotels and a botched job In Mad About the Boy, Bridget Jones’ mate Tom develops a middleclass, mid-life obsession with finding hotel deals on websites. But how would he have fared in running to earth a good-value room-with-aview in Pisa or Positano? The Italian competition authority has been investigating whether the online giants Booking.com and Expedia are stifling competition. These are the guys who are supposed to help us find the best deal but what they might actually have been doing is controlling the market, it is alleged. A couple of years ago our own Office of Fair Trading investigated similar concerns about them restricting bargains elsewhere including on hotels’ own websites. So Expedia and Booking.com made a commitment not to prevent discounts elsewhere but the problem is that applied only to British hotels. Swamped I know it’s marvellous and easy to check a hotel’s availability and book a room anywhere on the planet within seconds. But the payback is that when you want to contact a specific hotel and you do a search, you are instantly swamped with generic websites. You can’t speak

to a hotel reception and get local knowledge. Only some centralised booking office with as much local knowledge as my Auntie Margie. Cowboy job But there’s good news for fellowveterans of telephone hell. Industry watchdog Ofcom has ruled that BT Openreach, the com pany that we have no legal relationship with but are dependent on to fix our phones, must do so within two working days. Perhaps they could also ensure the quality of work improves. A friend showed me the botched job they’d done drilling a hole to run a telephone wire through a wall. It was so cowboy that Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp must have done the job personally. Or someone who barely knew one end of the drill from the other. Seriously, I might have done it better. BT sent their

‘best man’ out to redo the job but the wall will still have to be repainted and Openreach won’t be paying for that. To add insult to injury my friend was six weeks without the internet while waiting for the job to be patched up. Do mention the war What do Alfred the Great and Genghis Khan have in common? They are both options on a new ‘A’ level history syllabus promising “less Henrys and Hitler” reports the BBC. Instead there’ll be choices like Japan 1853 to 1937 and the Middle East, Ottomans to Arab Spring. You can see the sense in widening the scope of learning. But I hope it won’t compromise the acquiring of knowledge among students about Britain’s own story. Each Henry helped make Britain what it is. And in the centenary of the First World War, we should not diminish teaching the second. As we move further away from it in time, the greater the need for academic pursuit to keep the facts untarnished. More cake If only poring over a laptop helped you sweat off the pounds. I was

horrified to see that I was weighing in at my heaviest ever this week. My first reaction was to check to see if the scales were faulty. But the measure was only a hair’s breadth from the zero and I could scarcely blame my socks for being half a stone heavier than usual. People keep buying me sweet things. Visiting friends bought a chocolate cake that literally took up the whole fridge, another guest brought a cream and caramel pie. I don’t even have a sweet tooth. Or I didn’t, because I’m getting one. I’ll have to make it clear to visitors to bring a bag of carrots next time. M&S I lived in Paris when its sole M&S store closed down. Parisians were enraged at being denied their British bacon. The store duly reopened. Now we hear profits are down for our favourite knickers’ store for the third year in a row. They are still making hundreds of millions but less profit than the retail chain Next. One market commentator said the answer was to merge Next and Marks. Contact Allis:

Bruges is known as the Venice of the North, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The entire historical city centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you imagine yourself to be in medieval times. The wealth of museums is a striking image of this city's stirring history. The restaurants in Bruges offer gastronomic cuisine. Departure from the coach park in Bruges will be 1700hrs. Times are approximate and subject to change. Passport needed on this excursion.

location of Genghis Khan’s grave has always been something that has fascinated me. It is said great riches are also to be found there. But this week, the riddle that gripped my household was closer to home than the whereabouts of the Great Khan’s treasures. A pair of skimpily-cut but voluminous white pants appeared in the wash that had never been seen before. I don’t go to a laundrette so there was no mix-up there. Ownership was finally traced to a friend’s son’s landlady. But don’t ask me how they got there.

Chichester Cathedral prepares for its spectacular 10th Festival of Flowers: ‘The Music Makers’ 29th, 30th & 31st May 2014 FIFTY THOUSAND flowers and thousands of visitors are expected at Chichester Cathedral for the 2014 Festival of Flowers on the 29th, 30th and 31st May. This biennial event welcomes visitors from all over the world who come to experience what has been called the ‘gold standard’ of Flower Festivals. Chichester’s majestic nine hundred year-old Cathedral will be transformed with over ninety stunning arrangements, all following the theme of the Festival’s title: The Music Makers. A dazzling array of imaginative and beautiful flower designs will interpret twelve centuries of music: from pop to plainsong, classics to jazz, sacred to secular. Chichester Cathedral spokeswoman, Ruth Poyner, explains: ‘The Festival of Flowers is in aid of the Chichester Cathedral Restoration and Development Trust. The Trust tirelessly raises funds to enable the repair and restoration of the Cathedral, and this event has grown in size and success over the years. This year over 500 volunteers – including 250 accomplished flower arrangers – will present a spectacular event that has been specially devised to celebrate the Festival of

Flowers’ 10th Anniversary.’ Once in the Cathedral, visitors will immediately encounter an explosion of colour in the Nave, recreating Joseph’s Technicolor Dreamcoat. This vibrant display will include the actual Dreamcoat worn by Jason Donovan in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s highly successful West End musical. The earliest music to be featured in the Festival was composed at the same time that Chichester Cathedral was dedicated in the 12th century – it is a piece named Sanctus Spiritus, written by the extraordinary female Saint and mystic, Hildegard of Bingen. The most contemporary piece is a mini opera The Sweeper of Dreams written by Alma Deutscher, who was only eight years old when she composed the piece in 2012. This exciting Festival takes place both inside and outside the Cathedral, where visitors can wander through the entire Cathedral Grounds enjoying a programme of music as they go. The Festival Market includes forty stalls selling a vast range of plants and craft items, not to mention vintage clothes and some quirky and unique gifts. Delicious refreshments and places to relax can be found in the Café de Fleur and Cloisters Café.

In honour of this year’s 10th Anniversary a unique iris has been especially grown by the internationally famous French grower, Richard Cayeux of Gien. The iris, named Cathédrale de Chichester, is being launched at the Chelsea Flower Show this week and will then come to Chichester to be displayed at the Festival. Other famous names include the gardening expert and TV presenter Charlie Dimmock, who is patron of the 2014 Festival, and the sculptor Philip Jackson who will be exhibiting his work at the event. A landmark new book is also scheduled to be published on the eve of this year’s Festival. Flower Festivals at Chichester Cathedral is the first book to tell the full story of this successful event since its beginning in 1996. This fascinating book gives a behind-the-scenes

glimpse of the ten festivals and is full of beautiful photographs – the perfect purchase for flower and/or Chichester enthusiasts. Across the city centre, nineteen shops are also participating in the Festival of Flowers. Each shop has taken up the challenge to interpret The Music Makers theme in their window display and visitors can discover these displays in the following: Little London Boutique, Crabtree & Evelyn, Zigzag, Proposals, Phase Eight, Mousetrap, Present Surprise, Hennings Wine, Seasalt, Little Shop of Secrets, Vintage@Chi, House of Gerry Weber, Classix Ladies Fashions, Royal Orchid, Chichester House of Fraser, David Messam, Cancer Research U.K., Q Hair & Beauty, The Flower Gallery. This shop window competition is generously supported by the Chichester City

Centre Partnership. Many other local organisations have also had a hand in the 2014 Festival: students from Bishop Luffa School have contributed artwork for The Sweeper of Dreams display; clients at the Aldingbourne Trust drop-in centre have been creating animal masks to assist with the interpretation of Noye’s Fludde, a work by Benjamin Britten; floristry students at the Chichester College Brinsbury Campus have gained valuable experience as part of their coursework, as have mature students undertaking a NAFAS Flower Arrangement Diploma course – and many of them look set to become arrangers for future Festivals. Tickets are available online: www.chichestercathedral.org.uk by telephone: 01243 813595 or in person at the Cathedral.

vegetables why not sow as lettuce, radish, carrots, spinach even a cabbage can be planted in pots. Tomatoes in hanging baskets are great fun. Easily picked while lying in your deck chair. If you have runner beans well on their way why not slip another seed alongside as this will produce beans later in the season. Chelsea and Hampton court flower shows always give an inspiration. If you cannot go, try to visit local garden shows. This is always a good idea as the nurseries

exhibiting are usually local so you can easily purchase plants and accessories either at the show or in the nursery/ garden centre. As the season progresses visit gardens from ancestral homes to small cottage gardens open to the public. You can see plants at their full maturity and access them to see if they fit into your garden.

Plants come in all shapes and

Now is the time to garden! TAWNY NURSERY’S very own GLORIA ROBINSON tells us that now is the perfect time to get into the garden. HURRAH, the time to plant everything is here! All those seeds you have been nurturing on your window sills, in your greenhouse, even in the shed - get out in your garden and dig in!

Don’t worry if you haven’t started yet, the nurseries have plenty for you to choose from. You can also still plant seeds sunflowers,nasturians, cosmos , runner beans and annual herbs to name but a few can now be sown straight into the ground. Scattering some of the more tender flowers which cannot be sown earlier can now go straight in the borders. This looks very natural and creates a softening effect in the garden. If you have no room to have

sizes to fit large and small gardens to just grow in a pot by your front door or a few herbs on your window sill. Now is the time so strike while the sun shines - so plant, plant, plant!

Thank you to everyone who entered the competition. The winner was chosen at random by one of our customers. Mrs Ruth Armsby won she will shortly be moving to Selsey so was delighted as she will have a new garden to plant.

National News News in Brief • A US dating show featuring a Prince Harry impersonator from Hertfordshire has been criticised as “shameless” and “predictable”. Matthew Hicks, 24, won a role in Fox TV’s I Wanna Marry Harry that sees him attempt to convince women he is the 29-year-old royal. It has faced criticism after being aired in America on Tuesday. Mr Hicks, an environmental consultant, said he never thought the premise was mean or deceiving to the girls. • A woman has pleaded guilty to abandoning her newborn baby girl in a park. The infant was found in a bag wrapped in a towel in the Stechford area of Birmingham in October. She was named Jade by hospital staff, after the dog that found her, then given a new name and put into foster care. The woman in her 20s, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will be sentenced on 3 July. • A pregnant teenager was told she would be shot if she did not stop talking to police about being sexually assaulted by two men, a court has heard. The girl, who was 17 at the time and cannot be identified, was attacked after waking up in a house in Oxford in December 2011, the jury was told. Zeeshan Ahmed, 28, is accused of threatening her after she contacted police about the alleged assaults by Mustafa Ahmed, 26, and Bilal Ahmed, 27. The trio deny all the charges. • An inquiry into whether Lostprophets’ Ian Watkins’ celebrity status prevented him from being brought to justice as a child sex abuser earlier is being held. Gross misconduct notices have been served on seven police officers as part of an investigation into the handling of allegations against Watkins. They include three from South Yorkshire Police, two from Bedfordshire Police, and two from South Wales Police.

It said it would be contacting users to alert them of the issue via email, its website, adverts and social media. A post on eBay’s corporate site said that cyber-attackers accessed the information after obtaining “a small number of employee log-in credentials”, allowing them to access its systems - something it only became aware of a fortnight ago. “The database... included eBay customers’ name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth,” it said. “However, the database did not contain financial information or other confidential personal information. “Extensive forensics subsequently identified the compromised eBay database, resulting in the company’s announcement today.” Although the firm also owns the PayPal money transfer service, it said that the division’s data was

stored separately, encrypted and that there was no evidence that it had been accessed. It added that any members who used the same login details used on eBay for other sites should also update them. EBay has not provided any information about the kind of encryption it used. One expert said there was still a concern that the hackers might be able to make use of their haul. “We all know that given enough time

Ernest Jones raid: Suspect’s selfie left at crime scene A SUSPECTED thief behind a jewellery store raid which saw £18,000 worth of goods taken left his phone with his picture on it at the crime scene. Police are hunting for a man who ran off with a number of rings from the the Ernest Jones shop in Kingston, south-west London, on 18 May. But he is thought to have left his mobile on the counter which had his photo as a screensaver. Detectives have identified him as French national Germain Ibrahim Fofana. Mr Fofana, 27, and a woman pushing a buggy entered the store asking to look at engagement rings. They left the shop but Mr Fofana is thought to have returned about 30 minutes later asking again to look at two engagement rings and a wedding band. After the shop assistant handed them over, the man ran out but left behind his bag with his phone in it. When the police were at the shop, it lit up when it received a text message and showed his picture as the background.

The shop assistant who served him identified him as the person who ran off with the rings. Mr Fofana, a French national, is also wanted for questioning over robbery and burglary offences across London. He is about 5ft 7ins tall, slim, with short black hair and a French accent. The suspect was last seen wearing a light blue shirt, grey suit trousers and boating shoes.

Chichester Business Chichester’s answer to Willy Wonka? Kylee Charles Director of PR Consultancy Mindseye Management

Being able to focus at work is a top priority. Whilst hard work and sheer determination are important for focusing, what you eat can affect your brain’s ability to concentrate, function and remember important details. I was reading an article the other day about how an afternoon snack is good for brain activity, and a decent cup of coffee with an ounce of chocolate will help you slump out of that ‘when will the working day end’ feeling. The amount of caffeine in one cup of coffee has been shown to improve mental performance and lengthen the attention span, making it a great afternoon pick-me-up when you need to focus. Plus, studies have

shown that people who consumed a small amount of chocolate daily had improved visual and verbal memory skills. The benefits of chocolate date back hundreds of years. The Maya people of ancient Mexico used cocoa beans as money for instance, 10 beans for a rabbit or 100 for a slave. I was delighted to learn about a new Chichester business that are making good use of this popular treat by using it as a modern tool for trade to raise funds for local charities, as well as the profiles of businesses at the same time too. Local entrepreneur Trevor Shepherd launched ‘The Custom Confectionery Company’ last month. The idea offers a new concept born through the love of business, charity and more importantly…chocolate. The premise of the Custom Confectionery Company is to retail the high end Belgian chocolate, with bespoke branded wrappers that will help to effectively market a business, brand, charity or event, creating awareness and all important funding for chosen charities. “Chocolate makes us smile, by giving a customer a branded chocolate bar instead of a business card, you can leave a lasting

memory.” Local businesses such as Whipped & Baked bakery in Guildhall Street and Dartagnan Menswear in East Street have already been quick to place their orders. “Hats off to the Custom Confectionery Company! They took my details on the Tuesday, the artwork was back by Wednesday and the stunning chocolate bars were delivered on the Friday! We can’t wait to start spreading the word for our Charity ‘Give 4 Beth’ with the bars as well as promoting our

business through this novel idea.” Explained Matt Horstead from Dartagnan Menswear. With chocolate bars sold creating money for the production, charitable causes and profile raising opportunities too, the business is already leaving a sweet taste in the mouths of many... a great little pickme-up if ever I heard one. For more information as to how this could work for your business too, I suggest you get in touch with Trevor through hello@cc-co.co.uk or visit the website at www.cc-co.co.uk

UK retailers buoyed by best trading conditions in a decade BRITAIN’S retailers are enjoying their best trading conditions for a decade after low interest rates, rising confidence, a booming housing market and a late Easter boosted spending in the shops and online last month. Figures from the Office for National Statistics showed that the volume of sales was 1.3% higher in April than in March and 6.9% up on April 2013.

Sales in the latest quarter – considered a better guide to the underlying trend than one month’s figures – were 1.8% up on the previous three months. Both the annual and the quarterly increases were the highest since the spring of 2004. The ONS said there had been an across-the-board increase in sales last month, with food stores showing their strongest annual growth rates in 12 years. Supermarket price wars are believed to have been a factor in the 6.3% rise in sales in the year to April. After a weak March, spending online bounced back in April, the ONS, said, rising by 2.6% on the month to a level 13.3% higher than in April 2013. The boost in consumer spending came despite a continued squeeze on real incomes caused by wages struggling to keep pace with prices.

NADFAS, the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Society is a leading arts charity. At Midhurst there is a thriving society which organises monthly lectures and has a programme of study days, gallery visits and art tours. An important part of NADFAS is their Young Arts Programme. Midhurst DFAS is currently forging a new relationship with Midhurst Rother College and last year helped 25 students to visit the Saatchi Gallery in London as part of their A level studies. More recently the Society contributed to an exciting

and successful student photography exhibition held at the College. This summer the Society is inviting 6th Form (Year 13) art students to enter a national competition organised by the Royal Society of British Artists and NADFAS. The winner and those short listed will have their artwork exhibited at the Mall Galleries, London in March 2015 and they will be exhibited alongside those of professional artists. The shortlisted students will have the title RBA Scholar during the show, receive an invitation to the private view

at the Mall Galleries and receive a special certificate. The NADFAS John Ingram Memorial Prize will be awarded for an exceptional piece of work. Rosie Drayson, Chairman and Rosie Glancy, Young Arts Secretary, of Midhurst DFAS will choose the work to go forward in consultation with Midhurst Rother College. Rosie Drayson said: “We are very hopeful that the students will do well and we are looking forward to seeing the exhibition of all the A level art work and making our selection later this year.”

New captain takes the helm at NFFO SELSEY based small boat fisherman Tony Delahunty has been appointed Chairman of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations (NFFO) after being unanimously elected by the federation’s executive committee. Tony took up the position at the NFFO’s recent AGM and succeeds Cornish representative Paul Trebilcock, who has held the position since 2012 and will now adopt the role of President. Tony operates an under-10 metre vessel targeting both shellfish and whitefish from Selsey and also holds the position of Chairman of the NFFO’s South East Committee, representing the South East on the body’s Executive Committee. Tony Delahunty said: “I am grateful for the confidence of my

colleagues on the NFFO Executive. It is important that the Federation continues to reflect the diversity of our fleets and as a small boat fisherman I look forward to playing my part. What I have learnt since becoming part of the NFFO Executive is that the federation undertakes a huge amount of work on behalf of the fishing industry and that work is enhanced and strengthened by the support and involvement of grass roots fishermen on vessels of all sizes across the country’s diverse fleet. “There are some significant challenges on the horizon, not least the upcoming implementation of the EU discard ban. Fishermen must ensure the industry makes its voice heard on how the ban will be implemented and the practicalities

of the new regime managed. Unless the rules make sense at vessel level, the whole exercise is at best futile and at worst could undermine the good work done so far.”

BEGINNING in June, Chichester’s Balanced Wellness are running a Mindfulness course, to promote physical and mental health - and it’s suitable for everyone! During the eight 8 week course, participants will learn to master the skills and practices of Mindfulness and meditation, providing you with the skills to make the differences you want in your life. More and more employers are recognising the benefits of Mindfulness to ease stress amongst their employees. Stress related conditions can be hard to manage, leaving sufferers with lack of motivation and focus. Techniques taught on the course enable delegates how to manage these symptoms, ensuring a coping mechanism is adopted that will establish a better, healthier way of being. The course will be run by Seán Collins, a senior practitioner teaching Mindfulness in BAE Systems since 2011. Since 2012, Seán’s work has helped to support the ongoing research at Oxford University, into the many benefits of Mindfulness and Meditation on well-being.

“Mindfulness can bring about improvements in a number of physical and emotional challenges, including a reduction in stress, anxiety, anger, loss, depression & pain” Explains Sean. “It can also improve concentration, tolerance, empathy, creativity, happiness & general life satisfaction.” “Mindfulness goes further than just short term help; it can provide long-term benefits that can help with supporting you for the rest of your life.” Balanced Wellness are excited about the opportunity of bringing such a specialist subject to their Chichester Wellness Centre. “Sean is a fantastic teacher. On average his students have recorded stress reduction in the region of 60%, increased awareness of around 50% and an increase in their overall life satisfaction of over 80%,” says Laura Knowles, Centre Manager for Balanced Wellness. “Mindfulness is one way that you can gain the knowledge and be in control of your thoughts and feelings. You can learn to be the greatest influence in your own life. You can learn to be the source of your own happiness and

Could a single binge drink harm your health? Food should be regulated like tobacco, campaigners say

A SINGLE alcohol binge causes bacteria to leak from the gut and leads to increased levels of toxins in the blood, according to the study carried out at the UMASS Medical School. And this damage could be caused by fewer drinks than expected, with “binging” being defined by the study as four or more drinks for women and five or more for men

consumed over a two-hour period. Professor Gyongyi Szabo, who led the research, said: “We found that a single alcohol binge can elicit an immune response, potentially impacting the health of an otherwise healthy individual. “Our observations suggest that an alcohol binge is more dangerous than previously thought.” To assess the negative impacts

of binge drinking, 11 men and 14 women were given enough alcohol to raise their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to at least 0.08g/dl in the space of an hour. Blood samples were then taken for every 30 minutes for four hours after and then again 24 hours later. The results, published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that just one alcohol binge led to a rapid increase in endotoxins in the blood, which causes the body to produce immune cells involved in fever, inflammation and tissue destruction. The researchers also found evidence of bacterial DNA in the bloodstream, showing that bacteria had entered the gut. This bacteria is then able to travel through the gut walls to other parts of the body. Women had higher blood alcohol levels compared to men, as well as higher endotoxin levels. Greater gut permeability and increased endotoxin levels are commonly linked to many of the health problems associated with alcohol consumption, including liver disease.

GOVERNMENTS around the world should impose regulations on food similar to those placed on tobacco to avoid obesity-related health problems in the future, campaigners say. Consumers International (CI) and the World Obesity Federation (WOF) say that the potential threats posed by unhealthy foods could turn out to be more serious than those from cigarettes. The two groups called on governments around the world to introduce legislation to help consumers make healthy decisions about what they eat. Unhealthy diets now rank above tobacco as a global cause of preventable non-communicable diseases, WOF said in a press release. The two groups said that said worldwide deaths related to obesity and being overweight rose from 2.6 million in 2005 to 3.4 million in 2010. CI’s director general, Amanda Long, said that regulations should be imposed to avert problems similar to those caused by tobacco. “The scale of the impact of unhealthy food on consumer health is comparable to the impact of cigarettes,” she added.

The two groups say that the best way to tackle the problem is through worldwide “collective action”. The new rules the groups advocate include measures to reduce people’s salt, saturated fat and sugar intakes, offering better food in hospitals and schools, the introduction of stricter advertising controls, and initiating better education campaigns to help individuals make healthy choices. Luke Upchurch at CI said: “If we don’t take action now we are going to have the same intransigence and footdragging in the food industry... as the tobacco industry in the 1960s.” But Terry Jones, director of communications at the Food and Drink Federation, said that the food and drinks industry in the UK was already taking action to combat obesity. He said: “The industry’s participation in the UK government’s public health responsibility deal sees manufacturers working in partnership with government, health organisations, NGOs and other stakeholders.”

Man creates UK holiday home Grand Holiday City with world’s first ‘beach room’ turns ghost town

SAD TO SEE THE BACK OF THE HEATWAVE? One innovative holiday home owner has created a beach in his front room in a bid for more guaranteed sunshine this summer. Conjuring images of St Tropez or the Bahamas, the plush holiday home is complete with real sand, palm trees and deck chairs but the luxury beach house is actually in Dymchurch, Kent. Powered by cutting edge Swedish technology that replicates natural sunlight, it’s the only beach room of its kind in the world and it’s even possible to get a tan. Guests can heat the room to 33C as

they listen to the sound of waves lapping at the shore and are cooled by a gentle breeze thanks to a surround-sound stereo and a wind fan. But the retreat comes without the price tag of a foreign holiday or the harmful skin damage exposure to the sun can bring as the dangerous UV rays have been filtered to a safe level. It’s such a lifelike replica for the natural glow from real sunlight, the holiday home has even been popular among people with seasonal affective disorder looking to rid themselves of the winter blues. As well as the beach room, the three-bedroom 17th century cottage is complete with a cinema room, a Jacuzzi bath and an open plan dining room and kitchen. For £1200, up to six adults can spend a week out of season sunning themselves on the ‘beach’. And if the weather does turn out to be good enough to go outside, the luxury retreat is just a stone’s

throw from the Kent coastline and a private beach for guests. Owner Karl Emanuelsson, 38, said: “The beach is invigorating - it really lifts you. “People are so intrigued by the idea of sunning themselves inside when the weather outside is awful - especially in the winter. “With the sand and the palm trees and the DJ decks, it’s ready for a real beach party or just a relaxing day on the shore. “My family and I love it and so do guests.” Jess Waters from QuirkyAccom. com, which takes bookings for the cottage, said: “The Beach Sun Retreat is popular as you aren’t reliant on the British climate to be entertained on holiday there. “With the beach room, the mini cinema and the sun loungers it would be hard to go out even if the weather outside was good. “We’ve seen more Brits looking to holiday in the UK, perhaps due to financial pressures at the moment. This way you get the sun, sea and sand without having to step on a plane - it’s the best of both worlds.”

THE VISION WAS GRAND - the biggest holiday resort in Europe. Holiday City was to have 35,000 houses, three golf courses and to top things off, a miniature Eiffel tower. But between the idea and the reality fell the shadow of Spain’s financial crisis and now Holiday City is no more than a ghost town. The Marina d’Or Holiday City is north of Valencia on Spain’s Mediterreanan coast. The MailOnline reports most of the complex’s homes and shops are empty and the developer has

collapsed under the weight of its debts. 80% of the developer’s declared $1 billion debts are owed to banks. Parent company Marina d’OrLoger declared debts of $1 billion, $800 million of which is owed to banks. The developer’s ambitious plans were brought undone by a property slump, banking crisis and mass unemployment. By the time the properties were ready to be bought there was no-one with the financial means to buy them

Freshly squeezed apple juice helps relieve asthma

or many people it has started! The sun may be shining, and the temperatures are rising, but lurking in the background of summer bliss are the dreaded itchy eyes, the running, sniffing nose, the wheezing and the sneezing, and the coughing and the scratching! The pollen is in the air and the grass is being cut, and for many people it turns their summer dreams into a horrifying reality. But did you know there is something very simple you could try that may be of great help? Drinking apple juice could halve the risk of developing asthma, but consuming

Denise Kelly Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist whole apples oddly appears to have not much affect. Juicing apples themselves, rather than buying a carton of apple juice is always the most effective and doing this once per day is said to reduce symptoms by half. It is the phytochemicals in apples, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, that help to calm the inflammation in the airways, which is a key feature of both wheezing and asthma. I believe massively that the epidemic of asthma in developed countries could be linked to a move away from natural, fresh foods to fast/junk foods. The latest study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, looked at almost 2,700 primary school children and found that those drinking apple juice at least once a

day were 50 per cent less likely to develop asthma symptoms. Often when children and adults develop asthma they are given a blue inhaler, and soon progress to the brown, hardcore steroid one. There is often a feeling that there is no cure for this, and it’s just something you have to live with forever more. However this is not necessarily the case. I have seen many asthma patients symptoms change and even disappear completely through a change of diet and lifestyle. The elation they feel when they no longer have to reply on those pumps is amazing, and frees them from a life of dependency. I am not suggestion that asthma can be cured over night, and should make it very clear that you should never just stop using an inhaler without seeking the advise of a trained professional, but increasing your fresh fruit and vegetables and making juicing a part of your every day life you can make drastic differences to your life. You could try this lovely fresh, anti wheeze summer juice recipe and see what happens:

4 Reasons for an apple a day…. Pectin - Pectin is a form of soluble fiber than lowers both blood pressure and glucose levels. It can also lower the levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol in the body. Pectin, like other forms of fiber, helps maintain the health of the digestive system. Vitamin C - boosts immunity, which helps maintain overall health. Phytonutrients - Apples are rich in a variety of phytonutrients, including vitamins A and E and beta carotene.These compounds fight damage from free radicals and can have a profound affect on health, including reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and asthma. Apples also act as a toothbrush, cleaning teeth and killing bacteria in the mouth, which may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Two organic apples One quarter of a medium pineapple peeled Two celery stalks 3cm chunk fresh ginger root One small handful raspberries Put all the ingredients into your juicer and drink. If you do this twice per day for a two-week period you should start to see and feel a noticeable difference. It’s also really important when

trying to improve wheezing, inflammation, hay fever or asthma, to avoid all dairy foods, white refined sugar and carbohydrates as well as wheat. Try also to avoid foods from the deadly nightshade family, such as bell peppers, aubergine, tomatoes etc as many people find these can aggravate symptoms. What do you have to lose? Try it and see…..

There is nothing more important than looking after your health to accomplish a thriving and vibrant life. To get outstanding health and energy Denise does private consultations in three clinics in West Sussex. She also teaches life changing health workshops and seminars for corporate companies and various health organisations all over the world.

It’s Time to applaud the Great British Fashion Industry

THE RECESSION in Britain is over, according to statistics released earlier this month showing the economy has grown at a faster rate than it has in six years. And that’s worth celebrating, no? We’ve all lived under the gloomy gaze of austerity, job cuts and poor wages since 2008. Can anyone even really remember what it was like pre-recession - when

words like credit crunch and George Osborne weren’t really part of the general population’s vocabulary? While everyone would probably agree life would be better if the bubble hadn’t burst, the way the fashion industry has grown and evolved in the face of reduced investment and spend is truly extraordinary. Make no mistake, the challenges

facing retail as a whole from the moment the economy started to take that downturn have been extreme. You only have to look at any high street outside of most major cities to see the effects. Towns built round the once mighty Woolworths are now characterised by strips of pawn shops, pound shops, bookies and empty units. Yet although there is less fashion on Britain’s actual high streets, the industry itself hasn’t contracted. Revealed to be worth a phenomenal £26billion by the British Fashion Council this year, it’s up £5billion on 2009 proving its effort to adapt to survive has been worthwhile and successful. Etail is positively booming with Asos, Net-A-Porter, The Outnet and Very having become as much a part of our shopping landscape as Marks & Spencer and Topshop. Meanwhile, Boohoo, mywardrobe and Vestiaire Collective have remained ambitious, creating

a competitive marketplace that has given the consumer even more choice. Plus, with more and more designer hubs springing up and bright young things supporting each other through joint ventures, there has never been such community among fashion start-ups. Need proof? Check out Glasgow’s Fashion Foundry. But it’s not just online boutiques that deserve our applause - those who’ve toughed it out in bricks and mortar have achieved what - at some points over the past six years - seemed impossible. They’ve not just survived but innovated to continue making shopping an event. Whether you like Topshop or not, there’s no denying its collaborations with Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Meadham Kirchoff and Kate Moss have been genius. As well as this, H&M proved once again at the end of 2013 with

its Isabel Marant line that giving shoppers access to big name designers through capsule diffusion collections is an instant win and genuinely exciting. If women camping out overnight in winter to get their hands on a pair of boots isn’t proof of a strategy truly appealing to shoppers, I don’t know what is. Elsewhere on the high street, River Island, Debenhams, New Look and Liberty have followed suit with similarly successful designer collaborations. The industry’s continued creativity and ability to adapt in the face of austerity is part of the reason the Natwest UK Fashion & Textile Awards - due to take place on 22 May - are so important. They acknowledge the people in working in every part of this sector to make it great and if the recession is over, there’s never been a better time to raise a glass in their honour.
