TOM CRUISE surprised punters at Goodwood when he showed up on Ladies’ Day last week. The Mission: Impossible star donned a grey suit, blue tie and sunglasses to visit the famous Glorious Goodwood racecourse near Chichester, on Thursday (31 July). He posed with guests and mingled with royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter Zara Phillips. Cruise received a special welcome to the races by the

British Army’s Yorkshire Regiment band, which played the theme tune to his famous action movie. He is currently filming the fifth instalment of the franchise in London. Cruise obligingly became the must-have ‘selfie’ when attempting to exit the presentation, at which he had given the winner’s trophy to rider Edie Campbell, who partnered the Ian Williams-trained See The Storm. The horse was winning a ladies’ race for the second time in five days having triumphed in Ascot’s Longines Handicap on Saturday. Tom Cruise was a surprise visitor to Goodwood last week presenting an award to supermodel Edie Campbell

Tom cruises in by car as Vorderman brings her own plane! The riders wore specially designed silks from Vivienne Westwood, Frost French, Beulah, Jasmine Guinness, Kate Halfpenny, Sarah Burton and Bella Freud. Campbell, this year’s Goodwood race ambassador, had won The Magnolia Cup in 2011 and been fourth in 2012 – she and the other eight who took part were raising money for The Reading Agency, which is dedicated to aiding reading and literacy skills, and Best Beginnings, which breaks down inequalities in child health. See The Storm won pulling clear, and Campbell said: “Moving the finishing post [forward half a furlong to give riders more time to pull up] definitely helped and gave us more time – and if there hadn’t been a rail at the end of the pullup I would have been in the next county! “I’ve been riding out at Ian Williams for a couple

of months and I was so grateful to him and the horse’s owners for allowing me to ride. I watched a recording of him [See The Storm] at Ascot and that gave me confidence knowing he wanted to win. I was more nervous than ever this year, because you know it’s frightening and scary, and you put a lot of work in to get here. “Raising money for The Reading Agency means a lot – it’s one of my favourite charities.” Winning trainer Williams said: “Edie’s put a lot of hard work and many early mornings into it. She was in every time she was due to ride first lot and has really put in a lot of effort. He ran so well in the ladies’ race at Ascot on Saturday and it seemed perfect to come here.” Other star guests at Goodwood included fashion star Gok Wan and exEngland footballer Michael Owen.

Ready for take-off ! Carol Vorderman pilots her own private plane to Glorious Goodwood

THE WOMEN were out in full force for ladies day at the prestigious Glorious Goodwood Races last Thursday. Making a grand entrance to the racecourse in Chichester, was TV presenter Carol Vorderman, who flew herself into the grounds on her own private plane.

The former Countdown host – who was recently crowned Rear of the Year for a second time running – showcased her killer curves in a figure-hugging Navy Blue jumpsuit and a wide-brimmed hat. The 53-year-old mum-of-two toted a cream bag and accessorised her stylish ensemble with a watch. Talking about her journey into the races, Vorderman said: “I flew in from the Isle of Man this morning.” “It was a perfect journey apart

from poor Sputts, my plane, had a puncture on landing,” she said. The Mathematical brainbox, known for her ability with figures, also revealed she is a keen racing fan, having once owned a horse with her Countdown colleague the late Richard Whiteley. She says: “Richard was honorary mayor of a little village in Yorkshire called Wetwang, which was a longrunning gag in the Countdown studio, so we owned a horse together called the Mare of Wetwang. “James Bethell trained her – it was wonderful.” Voderman admitted she didn’t speak to or offer the Top Gun star any tips when it comes to racing. “Oh no, I’m far too busy talking to all the feisty women,” she said.

At the end of Chichester's East street once stood a Roman cemetery containing cremated remains in burial urns.The famous cross country road from London to Chichester known as Stane Street was also once part of this site which is now the home to Unicorn House which has reported 'strange activity'!

MONKS Monday lunchtime, went down to the Nat West in Chi. Three Buddhist monks standing at peace opposite, splendid in earth brown robes, shaven heads. Two about my age, one barely out of his teens, I’d guess. I asked them to what do we owe the pleasure. One replied “Give you three guesses.” So I said “You’ve come to bring spiritual enlightenment to the people of Chichester.” “Nope”. “You come for the sale at Poundland” “Nope” Then a man came over with a Marks and Spencer bag. A petite man, trim, dressed smart casual in a blue cheesecloth shirt and faded jeans, nice shoes. The three monks opened their round baskets and the man placed an apple, a plastic bottle of apple juice and a pack of rye crispbreads in each. Then he bowed and walked away. “Alms” said the main monk. “We have walked from Midhurst to accept alms. We do not use money.” Hmmm. See I walked away thinking maybe their Monday beat my Monday all ways up. SCOTLAND Come on the Yes vote! Scotland to walk away. Who the hell on earth wants everything to stay the same, apart from the Vatican . Change is King. Can you imagine being offered any kind of freedom and saying “No thanks?”

RADICALISM I love living round here don’t you? I’d run out of puff extolling the virtues of God’s Pocket, as the Romans called the Chichester Plain. But if there’s one thing I’d fix it’s that there’s not enough edge. Not enough William Blake around.

any association with any organisation that burned people alive. How could anyone embrace a philosophy that’s still fresh from torture? SALE AT POUNDLAND I made it up, a sale at Poundland. There isn’t one, as far as I know. How would that work? I cruise round Poundland sometimes, how could you not. Sometimes though, when I’m wondering about buying something I don’t need just because it’s cheap, I wonder if those Buddhists have a point.

REMEMBRANCE It’s always uplifting to see our Royal Family spearheading services and events marking the anniversary of WW1. I was sitting in reception at a village primary school up the road from Chichester where there was a roll of honour of the young men who died in the trenches, many more fatalities in this tiny village than suffered by the vast Royal family and their retinue, yet the Royals still seem to have some idea of how terrible it must be to see your son go off to war and not come back. It shows how deep their powers of imagination are.

DAMASCEA Every so often in life you get a moment when you realise what you should be doing with your life. And you don’t. You carry on. HOLIDAY I was going to Nat West to get currency for the holiday abroad. Found myself humming that song “I have been to everywhere but I’ve never been to me”

WILLIAM BLAKE Blake wrote Jerusalem in Chichester, but when a soldier walking past his front garden said, “God Save The King” and Blake said something like “Screw him” Blake was sentenced to deportation to Australia. He was nearly 70.

JOKE A monk enters a monastery where all is silence. They are allowed to speak once every seven years to the head monk. After seven years the head monk says to him “So how’s it going?” He replies “It’s okay, except my bed’s a bit hard” Another seven years passes and the head monk asks “How’s it going?” and he replies “It’s great. I suppose the bed thing is a bit annoying” Seven years later the head monk sees him coming and says “Zip it! Pack your bag! You’ve done nothing but moan since you got here”.

BELIEF It’s not that I can’t bring myself to believe in God. The thing is: I don’t want to believe in God. After careful consideration I don’t want him (small “h”) around. Even if he exists. I don’t want someone or some thing trying to watch into me and my life, because I’m doing a good job making it good and fine by myself thanks. Plus: I don’t want Contact Tommy: Follow Tommy on

West Sussex leads in Appointment of Vice Lord-Lieutenant helping adults back to work by the Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex THE WEST SUSSEX Think Family Partnership, led by West Sussex County Council, is top in the country for supporting families back into work, according to figures released by the government. The Think Family programme, which is dedicated to turning around the lives of vulnerable families across West Sussex, has so far helped 389 individuals back into employment. Think Family is the local version of the government’s ‘Troubled Families’ initiative, which aims to help families change their lives for the better. It covers the whole of West Sussex and is being delivered jointly with district and borough councils, healthcare workers, Sussex Police and other local and commissioned services. The figures, which were compiled in May 2014 by the Department for Communities and Local Government, also show that of the 1,272 families identified as being eligible for the programme, 610 have met the government’s set criteria for being ‘turned around’. This figure has now risen to 767, which is 66% of the full target of 1,165. The key issues that Think Family works to address are youth crime, anti-social behaviour, absence from school, and adult family members being out of work. However families with complex needs also face many other challenges, such as improving their parenting skills; physical and mental health issues; domestic violence; accommodation

problems; debt; poor nutrition, and lack of workplace skills. As part of a package of measures designed to address the family’s complex needs, a Key Worker can be assigned to a family, who works with them to set up a plan to tackle their issues, and help them take steps towards self-sufficiency. Peter Evans, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Children – Start of Life, said: “Helping adults back to work has always been a notoriously difficult area in which to get results, so our success is a real achievement both for the Council and the families involved. “Generally there is no single factor which prevents people in troubled families from working, and it takes the intervention of a number of agencies to address these issues. However one factor that has been identified as a barrier to work in a number of cases is domestic violence. We are fortunate to have one of the best domestic violence resolution services in the country, Worth Services, working in partnership with Think Family, and their contribution has helped a number of individuals take the significant step of finding employment. “We also have an excellent relationship with the Department for Work and Pensions, a strong local economy, and a dedicated team of Key Workers. When all of these elements combine we can see that Think Family is making a real difference in West Sussex.”

He has a deep knowledge of the county, having lived here all his life, and his advice will be invaluable to me. I must also thank Gordon Tregear, the outgoing Vice Lord-Lieutenant for his loyal support and friendship over the past five years, particularly in the early days when I was so new to my role.” The post of Vice Lord-Lieutenant is appointed by the Lord-Lieutenant at her discretion, subject to the approval

Operation Watershed: £1m available to prevent flooding WEST SUSSEX County Council has not forgotten the flash floods of 2012, 2013 and 2014. While the county basks in summer sunshine, the County Council wants to press on with helping communities stay safe against extreme weather. Communities affected by flooding, who want help to stop it happening again, should get in touch. £1m is available from the County Council’s Operation Watershed fund for community projects delivering improvements that prevent flooding or help to make their town or village more resilient. Typical projects include: Clearing private ditches that have been neglected; Buying or hiring equipment such as shovels, waders or diggers

for communities to use; Commissioning surveys and/or reports; and Developing community flood plans. County Council Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, Lionel Barnard, said: “We want to remind people that funding is there. “Now is the time to be doing the work in readiness for the coming winter, so if you know there is a flooding issue in your community or neighbourhood, tell us.” Lionel added: “Autumn is the best time of year to carry out ditch clearances, because it falls outside nesting season for birds. “If you need help with clearing your ditch, especially if it is a water course that runs through your property, now is the time to make contact.

“Your local community officer can advise you how to get help from the Operation Watershed fund.” For more information e-mail: operation.watershed@ westsussex.gov.uk or visit www. westsussex.gov.uk and type ‘Operation Watershed’ in the search bar. Case study – Valentine’s Day flooding stopped in Angmering A repeat of the floods of 2012 was averted in Angmering this year thanks to Operation Watershed. Angmering was badly flooded two years ago when a culvert underneath the village was overwhelmed by water. It affected Water Lane, The Village Square and damaged the village hall. Together with the Environment Agency, Angmering Parish

Council applied to the Operation Watershed fund for £3,683 towards installing a web camera. The camera was put above the culvert grill, at the foot of Weaver Hill, so the village could monitor water levels and check if any debris was caught in it. It was put to the test when heavy rain hit Angmering on Valentine’s Day 2014. Claire Fullman, Angmering Parish Council administrator, said: “We monitored the culvert on a regular basis that day. “At 9am the water level was below the need for any concern. “However upon checking at 2pm we noticed a large log was caught under the grill. “It was preventing the water from running freely and the entrance to the culvert was becoming overwhelmed.”

She added: “We immediately reported this to the Environment Agency who acted straight away. “They cleared the log, enabling the water to flow and the water level reduced.” Other projects in Angmering to receive help from Operation Watershed last year include: Angmering

–

periscope vents were installed to stop water entering through air vents, eight flood gates installed, and improved drainage channels put in the car park; and Ham Manor Golf Club – the Black Ditch was de-silted which immediately caused water levels to drop in heavy rain.

Convoys to deliver beams for Felpham Relief Road viaduct start on August 11 Successful Better LORRIES delivering beams for the biggest viaduct to be built in West Sussex will become a common sight in Bognor Regis on Mondays and Wednesdays. The beams are required for the Felpham Relief Road and will start to be delivered on Monday, August 11. Police will be escorting convoys of two lorries on both days of the week until mid-November. Following a trial run last month, it is estimated it will take each convoy between 20 and 30 minutes to arrive at the construction site once they leave the A27, depending on which end of the new road they are going to. The relief road, which will be 3km in length, will feature a spectacular 0.5km long viaduct that rises 8m above the Lidsey Rife, the Barnham

to Bognor Regis Rail Line, and the Bognor Regis Flood Plain. The Felpham Relief Road is one of two roads which make up the Bognor Regis Northern Relief Road project - the other being the North Bersted Relief Road. County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Pieter Montyn, said: “This ambitious engineering project to construct the viaduct has been many years in the making. “Our officers have been working closely with developers and Police to manage the way these beams are transported – both locally and across the county - with as little disruption as possible. “This is an exciting step towards ridding Bognor Regis of its problems

with traffic congestion and we ask the public to bear with us in the weeks ahead.” Key facts about the project: The beams will be collected from Liverpool and transported to West Sussex overnight; They will arrive in three convoys of two lorries and will be delivered on Mondays and Wednesdays until the last beam reaches the site in November; 179 beams will be delivered in total; 12 beams will be delivered a week; The beams are made from steel reinforced precast concrete; The delivery vehicles being used are 33 metres long; The convoys will be escorted by Police at off-peak hours between 9.30am and 4pm;

The Police convoy will pick up the lorries from a layby on the A27 near the Fishbourne roundabout. They will then escort them under a rolling roadblock onto the A259 heading towards Bognor Regis. The lorries are so large they will have to go around some roundabouts in Bognor Regis the wrong way; Once the beams have been unloaded, the lorries carrying them compress down in length and no longer need a Police escort; The delivery of the beams is expected to last for 15 weeks. The Felpham Relief Road will serve 700 new homes at Blake’s Mead built by developer Barratt Homes. The new road is expected to open in 2015.

The County Council has been repairing and preparing the roads all summer to make them safe for the winter weather ahead. The work for the Better Roads programme was scheduled to last for two years. Because the work so far has been completed ahead of schedule, the County Council has decided to accelerate the programme. To find out if your road is due to be repaired, visit www. westsussexhighways.org/ betterroads and type the name of your road or town into the search bar. All dates are subject to change due to weather conditions and to allow contractor Balfour Beatty the flexibility to respond to any unforeseen circumstances.

Is there such a thing as lady luck? I have to admit that I don’t play the lottery that often. Which is why I feel like someone who’s been living with a tribe in the Amazon rainforest that’s never had contact with the outside world whenever I walk through the newsagent’s door and decide to have a go. The choice is wider than Ben and Jerry’s range of ice creams. Do you want to play the health lottery, Euromillions, lotto, thunder ball, scratch cards? That’s why I felt like a timetraveller from the past when I decided to bet on Lady Luck this week.

announcement, I put in number 32. Soon, I had filled out all the numbers with the bonus ball. Once you have done that, of course, you just know they will come up if you don’t enter them for real.

The trouble was I had been writing a script which had a pretend lottery result in it. It was for some students I am teaching. When I worked as a BBC1 announcer I had to read the results out live at 9.30 on a Saturday night. All the announcers worked shifts and when it was my turn to do a weekend and read the results, number 32 always came up. I could have set my watch to it. So naturally, when mocking up this script with its mocked-up

It was then about 7.20pm. I raced round to my nearest shop. There were minutes to go before the deadline. There was only one other person in the queue in that shop. You know how when you are hurrying for a bus or train or the shops before they close, there is always someone in front of you, weaving to the left and right by instinct, as if they had eyes in the back of their head, simply to block your path? How, when you’re late and waiting to pay for something

Allis Moss Writer and broadcaster

you really need at a till, you end up trying not to look graceless and resentful and failing miserably, because the cashier and the customer in front of you are having a good old chin-wag, like best mates who haven’t seen each other in fifty years. This was that person, incarnate. By the time they had finished choosing their one item, the clock had ticked heavily past 7.30. Horrors! There I was, with my chosen numbers, in my hot sweaty little hand and now I had to sit it out and hope like crazy they didn’t come up. They didn’t. I knew a man once, a friend of my Dad’s, who liked to play on the roulette wheel at the casino. My father related this to me as something that happened. One night, this man placed a bet on a single number. And won. Handsomely. Intoxicated and giddy with success, he recklessly declared that the number was lucky for him and he was going to leave everything, the original stake and his winnings, on it for a second time and risk it all to

double up. The chances of that number coming up must have been a million to one against. But guess what? It came up or so the story went. By this time he had some serious winnings. Word got around and everyone had come to watch. Intoxicated, giddy and out of his mind with his good fortune, the man vowed he would leave it all on for a third time. And promptly lost the lot.

Did you see the film of two men

As a teenager I used to play the pools. There is something comforting and innocent about it when I think of how low-key it all was then. Saturday evening, I would tune into the radio to hear the scores. Then came the day when I realised I had won. I rushed out of the house to the shop, and undeterred by the fact that the shop had shut, banged on the door. “I’ve won! I’ve won!” I gabbled, as they kindly opened up to inspect my ticket. Unfortunately, so had a lot of other people and I had won the princely pay-out of two quid.

salon-cut?

from a tribe in the Brazilian rainforest in the news – or perhaps I should say in the nude - this week? The commentator said they might be asking for help as they ran amok trying to rob a farm only to accept a giant bunch of bananas as a sign of good faith. Was I the only one who thought their hair looked too much like a

And finally Is there really any such thing as luck? I put that question to a wise pensioner friend this week. No, it’s just blind chance, he replied. Why does one person never win the tombola or the raffle and the woman sitting opposite her wins two prizes in the same draw? There’s probably a logical explanation. Or are there other forces at work?

Perfect Imperfections Photo of the week The other day I was editing an article at my work experience which was an interview with Kate Winslet, and after going over the 4-page article about four times checking for mistakes, I suddenly felt so angry I had to take a quick breather. For paragraphs it talked about her beautiful family, her almost effortless ability to juggle work and home life, her insistence on doing her own stunts, her Lancome model/spokesperson jobs and her wonderful skin. What irritated me was that thousands of eager women would read this; women (maybe men too btw, no prejudice here) who had real lives, real issues and real struggles. And instead of having role models who showed them that yes, life DOES have bumps and struggles, they were being told that they should be like Kate Winslet; perfect in every way. I have two main problems with this. One is that it just isn’t fair to undermine people by shoving faultless lives in their faces like that. They should hear about the ups and the downs, because that’s what real life is about.It’s great to know that ‘*insert famous female name* sits down in downtown New York, a little hungover but looking incredible in trackies. She guzzles a doughnut as she

Mia Edwards places her enviably slim self onto the chair’. However, this doesn’t make anyone feel better about themselves. The next thing is that – JUST SAYING- it’s not even true. Whoever these beautiful humans are, I really feel for them. There’s so much pressure for them to be untouched by the stresses that surround them, to show that they’re different. But they too are humans; however saintly Kate Winslet is (that body, plz) I’m sure that she too has problems, and that’s OK. It’s just a shame that we’re in a world where that isn’t easily accepted. So I’m done idolising people. These standards aren’t fair, because they’re not real. And as I sit here writing this article, eating a cake in my size 6 jeans, with perfect nails and flawless skin, I feel nothing but satisfaction in telling the world to scrap these impossible comparisons.

Kirdford community shop pioneer wins volunteering award from Prime Minister THE DRIVING FORCE behind one of the UK’s most successful community shops, Kirdford Village Stores in West Sussex, has become the winner of a volunteer new award, Prime Minister David Cameron has announced. Sue Ransley, who helped to fundraise almost £250,000 with the help of the local community to open Kirdford Village Stores in 2010, is the latest recipient of a Point of Light award, which recognises outstanding individual volunteers, people who are making a change in their community and inspiring others. Each day, someone, somewhere in the country is selected to receive the award to celebrate their remarkable achievements. The village of Kirdford was without a shop for more than three years when Sue realised that there was a potential to create a new store that could become the centre of the community. By applying for grants and old-fashioned fundraising, just under £250,000 was raised to

The group photo includes Sue Ransley and local MP Nick Herbert plus volunteers and members of the team who supported Sue in setting up the store

buy a building in the village and transform it into a vibrant village shop and cafe, focusing on friendly customer service and local produce, which has become a community hub and social focus. Sue has been chair of the

popular Kirdford Village Stores since the shop opened in 2010 and the community’s hard work was rewarded in 2011 when the Stores was named Best Corner/Village shop in Britain by The Telegraph magazine.

The Prime Minister’s new Point of Light award has been developed in partnership with the hugely successful Points of Light programme in the USA, which has recognised over 5,000 people. The US programme was established by President George H. W. Bush, and both he and President Barack Obama have publicly supported the partnership with Points of Light UK. Whether it’s a doctor restoring local monuments in her free time, a father teaching young people life skills, or a local musician giving a voice to lonely people, the Point of Light award honours shining examples of volunteering across the UK. Prime Minister David Cameron said: “I applaud the work that Sue has done to help rekindle and grow community spirit in her area as the driving force behind Kirdford Village Stores. “Sue is bringing people together and ensuring a vital service in the village. I’m delighted to recognise Sue by making her a

Point of Light.” Sue said: “Whilst developing any project of this nature takes a lot of work, by many people, there has been a certain serendipity about Kirdford Village Stores from the start – like it was meant to be. Its success is a testament to a wonderful team of staff and volunteers, both in the shop and behind the scenes. I am incredibly proud of what we, as a community, have achieved together, and of the shop itself. It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m honoured to receive this award on behalf of the community. Thank You!” Nick Herbert, MP for Arundel and South Downs said: “Sue has been an inspirational local leader, and it is through her vision and hard work that the fantastic and awardwinning Kirdford community shop was launched and has been such a success. She is the epitome of selfless volunteering that has made a real difference to her community, and she richly deserves this award.”

National News News in Brief • A MAN DIED when he was struck by a marked police car in Reading. The man and a police officer were hit by the vehicle as it responded to a burglary in Eastern Avenue on Wednesday. The man died at the scene of the crash in Wokingham Road. The police officer was taken to hospital with non lifethreatening injuries.

Two British medical students have been stabbed to death in Borneo

• A CAR WASH WORKER’S teeth appeared to be dissolving as he writhed around in agony after drinking hydrochloric acid, an inquest heard. Zorancho Dimov, 47, died after drinking the undiluted acid at the Lewes Road Car Wash, Brighton, on 3 May. Ambulance technician Graham Silander described Mr Dimov’s injury as “horrific” after he was called to help. Mr Dimov is believed to have drunk acid after becoming depressed about debt and losing his family home in Macedonia, the inquest was told. • A POLICE OFFICER accused of turning a blind eye to an uninsured Porsche driver after he flirted with her with suggestive texts, has been cleared of perverting the course of justice. Richard Myerson swapped email addresses and numbers with Pc Saheena Tegally, of London Colney, Hertfordshire, after she pulled him over for an insurance check. • BOMB DISPOSAL EXPERTS have dug up and removed a World War Two device buried in a Somerset garden following a planned evacuation of 100 homes. It came after a “credible” warning from a local man saying his grandfather had buried a device at his former home in Milk Street in Frome some 60 years ago. • A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat after RAF jets were alerted to escort a passenger plane to Manchester Airport. The Qatar Airways plane, flight QR23, was escorted in by an RAF Typhoon following information received by the pilot from a passenger. Police said the pilot had been handed a note about a possible device on board. • A DATA PRIVACY campaigner has signed up 25,000 people to a “class action lawsuit” being taken against Facebook. Max Schrems alleges that the way the social network monitors its members’ activity on and off the site puts it in breach of EU laws. As part of the claim, he also alleges that the company co-operated with Prism, a US surveillance scheme. Facebook has previously denied knowing about Prism before it was mentioned in leaked US government documents.

Neil Dalton, left, and Aidan Brunger, who were stabbed to death during a six-week work placement in Kuching, Borneo

NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY said the killing of its students Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger, both 22, was a “huge shock”. Malaysian police said the men were killed at about 04:15 local time on Wednesday. There had been an argument between a man and one victim before the killings, and four men have been arrested over the murders, police added. Mr Dalton, from Ambergate, Belper in Derbyshire, and Mr Brunger from Hempstead, Gillingham in Kent, were in the final week of a sixweek work placement at a hospital in Kuching, a city in one of the two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo. In a statement, Malaysian police said the two victims had a drink in a tea shop, where one man rebuked

them for being noisy. “This gave rise to an argument,” police said, between the man and one of the victims before they left the shop. Police said four men then pursued the students in a car, before one man got out and attacked them with a knife. The police added three suspects were arrested at about 06:00 local time and a knife was also found, and a fourth suspect was arrested at 16:45. “The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction,” the police statement said. The area is said to be known for its popular nightlife among tourists. Police said Mr Dalton and Mr Brunger had been due to complete their placement in Kuching on Friday.

Baby falls from Rainham first-floor window on to man A BABY GIRL suffered serious injuries when she fell from a firstfloor window on to a man walking below. Witnesses said the girl dropped from the window in Rainham, Kent, and hit an elderly man walking below before landing on her front on the pavement. She suffered major injuries and is in a stable condition at a London hospital. A 30-year-old woman has been

arrested on suspicion of child neglect. She was released on bail while investigations continue, police said. Witness Becky Zacharow said she thought a doll had fallen from the window but realised it was a baby when the girl started screaming. She said she picked the girl up to comfort her and saw she had suffered a large bump to her head and was bleeding from her nose and mouth.

Professor Tony Stevenson, acting vice-chancellor of Newcastle University, said: “We were informed

this morning of the very sad news that two of our fourth year medical students working at a hospital in Kuching, Borneo, have been tragically killed. “Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger, both 22, were on a six-week work placement along with five other medical students to put the skills they had learnt during their time here at the university into practice. “This has come as a huge shock to us all and our thoughts are with their families and friends at this very difficult time. “Two of our members of staff are flying out to Kuching as soon as possible and we are working closely with the British High Commissioner to support the other students and to co-ordinate their return to the UK.” The Foreign Office said it was aware of the deaths of two Britons and was “providing consular assistance to their families at this difficult time”.

Johnson to seek 2015 Commons return

Boris Johnson

BORIS JOHNSON has ended months of speculation by saying he will seek to become an MP again at next year’s general election. But he said it was “highly unlikely” he would one day stand to become Conservative leader, replacing David Cameron, as there was “no vacancy”. Mr Johnson also promised to serve his term as London mayor, ending in 2016. The prime minister said it was “great news” that Mr Johnson was planning to return to Parliament. The mayor has been linked with a number of parliamentary seats, including Uxbridge and South Ruislip, in north-west London, but

he said he did not have a particular target in mind. There has long been speculation that Mr Johnson will seek a return to Parliament so that he can mount a bid for the Conservative leadership when Mr Cameron stands down. He said: “I think it’s highly unlikely that that will happen because there’s no vacancy. I think David Cameron has been a brilliant prime minister.” On BBC Radio 4’s World at One, he added: “When David Cameron finally steps down, in 2030 or whenever, it may be that there’s a vacancy, but it will probably be filled by a person who’s a teenager now.”

THREE-QUARTERS of British businesses believe a significant skills crisis will hit the UK within the next three years, according to a new report. More than 600 business leaders were interviewed for the report by the Prince’s Trust and HSBC. More than 40% said they were already experiencing skills gaps within their firms, while more than a half are facing difficulties filling vacancies. Firms in all major sectors and with more than 500 employees were surveyed. Getting people with the right skills, especially young people, has long been an issue for British business. What is striking about this report is the extent to which company bosses think this issue could now hold back future growth. Two-thirds of them (68%) said they feared skills shortages would put the brakes on the economic recovery, while one in three (35%) feared it would cause their business to fold. A third of firms (32%) reported skills shortages at entry level. “It is deeply concerning that employers are struggling to fill vacancies when we have hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people desperate for work,” said Martina Milburn, chief executive of the Prince’s Trust. “The current economic recovery is encouraging, but in order to sustain this growth, UK plc needs to invest in the next generation to avoid a skills vacuum.”

Chichester Herald is the area’s largest independently owned newspaper, written and put together by local people, reaching an audience of up to 75,000 every week

organisations across Chichester to compete against each other to see which could get the highest percentage of staff riding their bikes. Bunn Leisure’s accounts department was also awarded the 2014 Honourable Mention prize for encouraging its entire department to cycle, and third place for the 20 members of the team cycling 647 miles as an organisation. Allison Tye, Head of Holidays,

took overall first place for Bunn Leisure for cycling 82 miles, and Carla Wood of the accounts department, who won second place in the Accounts department, cycling 80 miles in only four trips. Allison said: “This was such a great challenge. Keeping fit, having fun and a chance to explore our stunning surroundings such as the Pagham Nature Reserve, which I pass en route to work.” More than 65 organisations and 652 participants took part in the challenge which ran from June 23 to July 13. In total the challengers clocked up 38,806 miles, burned more than a million calories and saved 12.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Bunn Leisure has won top prizes in Tourism South East’s Beautiful South Awards for Excellence for four years running. The familyowned 300 acre holiday park offers the Great British holiday with a massive modern twist. Attractions include the Oasis complex with megasplash waterslides and a lazy river, a £1.5 million-a-season star-studded entertainment line-up and an amazing range of free kids’ clubs. The whole park is one giant playground with football, basketball and tennis courts, the Topdeck Gym and an indoor amusement arcade.

Will, Jay, Neil and Simon head Down Under in this raunchy sequel to the record-breaking comedy. Last time we met the Rudge Park posse, they were causing chaos in Malia, Crete. Nearly a year on, Will (Simon Bird), Jay (James Buckley), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Simon (Joe Thomas) have gone their separate ways. Jay is staying with his uncle in Australia. Neil has actually managed to get a job. And Simon and Will are at different universities, but life isn’t panning out as they’d hoped. So when Jay emails to say he’s now become the biggest DJ in Australia and his life is one long party, the threesome need no encouragement to leap on a plane for a wild Easter break.

Sky Diary August 2014 By Peter Littlejohns

Venus is a bright object in the morning sky rising above the NE horizon at around 04:00. On August the 10th our Moon will be at its closest to the Earth for the year and will appear about 14% bigger and noticeably brighter than normal. Mars is dimming steadily as it moves away from us and sinks down towards the W horizon. Jupiter moves into the constellation of Cancer rising just before dawn. On the 18th it appears to be on a collision course with Venus when, at 05:00, its path takes it to within a quarter of a degree from our sister planet. The pair is also close to the open star cluster M44 (the Beehive) - for insomniacs with good wide- field binoculars. Saturn is getting dimmer as it heads down in the W passing above Mars on the 26th and setting around 23:00. Uranus and Neptune are both low

in the E & SE respectively but a telescope is necessary to see the latter. Neptune is another gas giant some 4500million miles from the Sun which takes 165 Earth years to complete one orbit. The atmosphere comprising hydrogen sulphide, ammonia ice and methane gives this distant planet a blue-green appearance. The Voyager 2 probe discovered that it has a family of eight satellites and four very tenuous rings. There are five meteor showers this month, the minor ones being:on the 2nd from the SSE. with about 5 per hour,on the 6th from low in the SE with about 10 per hour, on the 7th from the ESE with about 10 per hour, on the 28th from the NE with about 10 per hour. The highlight shower is on the 12/13th night from Perseus high in the NE with around 80 per hour at its maximum. Unfortunately the almost full Moon will drown out the fainter ones. Still worth a look though.

• Celebrated Westbourne based theatre director, Roger Redfarn, is directing the Arundel Players production of Privates on Parade, written by Peter Nichols with music by Denis King as part of this year’s Arundel Festival. Privates on Parade opens at the Priory Playhouse Theatre, London Road, Arundel, BN18 9FA on Saturday 16 August until Saturday 23 August starting at 7.45pm. Tickets cost £14 and are available by calling the Arundel Players Box Office between 9am and 9pm on 07523 417926. According to Roger: “Privates on Parade is a witty musical parody, laden with comic innuendo and a jaundiced account of post-war colonial politics which is based on the author’s real life experience in ENSA in Singapore and Malaysia during the communist insurgency in 1948.” The play, which contains strong language and some nudity, was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and later transferred to the Aldwych Theatre in London where it won

an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Roger, who has enjoyed over 50-years success as a professional director both in this country and internationally, said: “I hope the audiences will appreciate and enjoy the rich ‘music hall’ humour and find the mix of colourful army service characters food for thought.” For any further information about the Arundel Players visit www.arundelplayers.org.uk • Following a hugely successful debut in 2013, Valley Challenge 2014 promises to be even bigger and better.

Britain facing massive contamination of chicken being sold in all leading supermarkets

A FOOD POISONING BUG was present in 59 per cent of fresh shop-bought poultry, according to a recent consumer survey. Campylobacter were detected amongst the sample group in addition to being identified on the chicken packaging 4 per cent of the time, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. The ongoing survey will continue examining the contamination prevalence and impact on consumers. Richard Lloyd, executive director of Which?, said: “The FSA’s survey reveals unacceptably high levels of campylobacter and they must now publish the names of the retailers so consumers are aware of the best and worst performing shops. “Campylobacter is responsible for thousands of cases of food poisoning and the deaths of 100 people every year so much more must be done to minimise the risk

of contamination at every stage of production.” The 12-month survey, running from this February to next February, is looking at the prevalence and levels of campylobacter contamination on fresh whole chilled chickens and

their packaging. The survey will test 4,000 samples of whole chickens bought from UK retail outlets and smaller independent stores and butchers. The new results are for the first quarter and represent 853 samples.

The FSA said that previous studies carried out into the prevalence of the bug had also shown around two thirds of raw poultry carries it. Campylobacter is killed by thorough cooking, but is the most common form of food poisoning in the UK, affecting an estimated 280,000 people a year, and the majority of these cases come from contaminated poultry. FSA chief executive Catherine Brown said: “This survey is an important part of the work we are doing to tackle campylobacter. “It will give us a clearer picture of the prevalence of campylobacter on raw poultry sold at retail and help us measure the impact of interventions introduced by producers, processors, and retailers to reduce contamination. “The chicken supply chain is looking at how interventions such as improved biosecurity on farms,

rapid surface chilling, and antimicrobial washes can help reduce campylobacter. “So when they take action and invest in interventions designed to make a difference, these survey figures will enable us to see if they really do make an impact. “The low levels of contamination found on packaging, shown in the results released today, potentially indicate the effectiveness of the leak-proof packaging for poultry introduced by most retailers, which helps to reduce risks of cross contamination in consumers’ kitchens. “There is still a lot more to be done by all elements of the supply chain to ensure that consumers can be confident in the food they buy. “As soon as we have enough data to robustly compare campylobacter levels in different retailers we will share that data with consumers.”

Palaces, canals and metro stations - not for those with vertigo… Allis Moss continues her ship’s Baltic adventure in St Petersburg

St Petersburg, Russia

It is the city of Peter the Great, where opulent palaces line the River Neva. It had taken two days and 377 nautical miles to journey almost 60 degrees north and 30 degrees east from Stockholm to arrive in the brand new docks of Russia’s cultural capital and second city. In the distance, beyond the new passport control on the quay was a long line of hideous, grey, high-rise tower blocks, built in the Soviet era of the 1970s. But very soon, we’d had our passports checked and were bowling in a coach alongside the River Neva, taking in the golden spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress and the breathtaking blue and white Winter Palace. The mosaic-decorated onion domes of the Church of Spilled Blood, erected on the site of Tsar Alexander II’s assassination, were stunning to see, while later, in St Vladimir, I stood and listened to the lovely voice of a lone The tall ships festival in Kiel

priest, singing. There were no seats, only icons. There is so much to see in this ‘Venice of the north’ and it was to Peterhof Palace that we were heading first. Built by Peter I to eclipse the dazzle of the French Sun King and his showy pile at Versailles, Peterhof was so full of gold it took my breath away. Outside, magnificent fountains were switched on at 11 am every morning, supplied by natural springs, operating not with pumps but under pressure from the different elevations in the garden. Our next stop took us out of the sunlight and down into the cellar of the Yusupov Palace, where the monk Rasputin was murdered. Then it was down still further, into the city’s metro: plunging, vertiginous escalators that seemed to go on forever with some stations boasting Art Nouveau chandeliers. Then up again, with the chance to

saunter along the main thoroughfare of Nevsky Prospect and barter over souvenirs. Two days isn’t enough to do more than taste St Petersburg and to know you want to come back again. I was consoled that Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, was our next destination. Eerily, the word for port in Estonian is ‘sadam.’ We arrived on the day of their national Song Festival, held once every five years. Walking into the pristine old town through the medieval bulwark of Fat Margaret Tower, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with this place. With cobbled streets and immaculate pastelpainted old houses, it was like a page straight out of a fairy book… After our day in Tallinn Braemar left for Copenhagen and I finally got to see the parliament building within the Christiansborg Palace where TV’s political drama, Borgen, is filmed. There was the famous mermaid statue looking much smaller than I expected and there’s the larger one of Hans Christian Andersen to see, too. I took an open boat around the canals touring yet another island city, at one point coming in close to Braemar, moored opposite the English Church. Back again on dry land, thousands were cycling home from work, as bands played for a jazz festival that was on. I found a table and sat down among the crowds, eating a liquorish flavoured ice-cream accompanied by a Gaelic coffee.

Braemar in Kiel Harbour, northern Germany

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen! My ship’s adventure in the Baltic is nearly over. There were just two days at sea before we would be back in Dover. What to do? Hmm, it’s not difficult. I can walk on the deck and play hoopla or, if I want, nothing more than laze in a lounger and look out across the 7 and a half nautical miles from the main deck to the horizon.

In between, I can sample some good food in any one of the three restaurants, not forgetting miniature scones, served in this case with rose petal tea. Well, even an adventure to the Baltic should have tea and scones. This ship’s adventure has been the perfect balance of indulgence and cities I have always wanted to see.

The goodness of summer camping

Camping is, admittedly, not for everyone, but it’s also not as tough as many people think. You probably are not going to get eaten by a bear or start a forest fire, so if you haven’t already, why not give it a go. I have just come back from the most fantastic and fun camping trip in Dorset and luckily for us the weather was fantastic, which I know makes all the difference. I am more of a ‘glamper’, but this Farm

Denise Kelly Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist we stayed on was really basic… and I survived! Why did I love it so much? The kids were totally unplugged

and relaxed! Yes, the internet is a wonderful place, but it is unthinkably amazing to just turn off all your phones and really live in the moment. The second you don’t have to worry if someone texted you or think that a flower would make an exceptional Instagram, you are free to truly enjoy the people around you and the experience you are living. When my friends and I informed the children that no phones were allowed on this trip, they all looked like they had seen a ghost! Horrified! Once they had recovered from the shock, and we were there, they could totally get the reasons why. And surprisingly they didn’t even miss them. Campfires are an obvious perk to camping, if they are allowed on your particular site. They smell great, they keep away the bugs, and they provide some ambient lighting for whatever outdoor activity you have planned after dark. Stay safe of course, but it is everyone’s love of outdoor fires that allows you to sit under the stars until the early hours of the morning! Talking of stars, if you live in the city and

Stress and anxiety relief CAN YOU imagine your life without stress? Any kind of stress leaves its mark on your mind and body. Even positive events such as a wedding or the birth of a child bring with them some stress and anxiety. Acupuncture is a proven and effective treatment for stress relief

and is becoming increasingly popular. Through unblocking channels with needles, the Qi in the body is able to flow freely in order to restore harmonious balance in the body. So you will find reprieve from physical symptoms, such as tense muscles, muscular pains

Wholesome camping foods Choose whole grains, such as whole grain pita bread or wraps, which pack easily, as they are a good source of fiber, and will leave you feeling fuller longer than white breads. Fill pita pockets or wraps with all-natural nut butters, hummus and veggies which are a good source of protein. Fruits such as apples, pears and bananas will last for a few days in a camping bag and are a better snack than a melted chocolate bar! there are many buildings around, chances are you only see a few stars on a good night. Stars, when visible in full force, are a sight that never gets old and it’s a great place to contemplate the significance of life and get really deep!! Don’t forget the sunsets and sunrises - most people are inside or asleep for these amazing daily events. When you go camping, you are in prime territory for some breathtaking movements of the sun so make sure you look up the times of the sunrise before you go. It changes every day and you

probably don’t want to wake up unnecessarily early. Also, think about how many hours of light you are getting in one day! It’s brilliantly good for you and balances your body clock a treat allowing great sleep and energy. Going camping not only shows that you’re fun and active, but it’s a pretty cool thing to do with your family and friends for that ‘feel good’ factor. Thank you to all my fabulous camping buddies- you know who you are!!

and high blood pressure which will allow you to feel refreshed and energised. More importantly, regular acupuncture treatments can help strengthen your body and improve the body’s immunity, so you’re able to deal with the day-to-day stresses of life more effectively.

Alternatively, acupressure/ Chinese massage can be applied to people who have a fear of needles. However, acupressure (massage) is often applied to clients after acupuncture in order to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, in some cases, acupuncture being used to treat one condition can actually help detect another, more severe illness that has not been previously identified. In such cases, acupuncture aids in early diagnosis and treatment. Remember, acupuncture/ acupressure is just one method of relieving stress. It’s also important to learn positive and productive ways to cope with stress on a daily

basis, thereby combining them to help you enjoy a happier and healthier life. Dr Feng Wang is an associate of the ATCM and has been practising his profession for over 20 years. He has been volunteering at CancerWise in Chichester, which has helped to improve the health of many people. He also has his own clinic in Chichester city centre.

UK fashion makes a royal mint from ‘the Kate effect’ IN 2013, THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE, popularly known as Kate, posed in a Seraphine dress for the family’s official photograph at her parents’ house in Bucklebury Now, the British dress designer is celebrating Prince George’s first birthday with a quadrupling of company profits. The company said the “Kate effect” was obvious. Designer Cecile Reinaud spoke of her excitement when the company began to receive orders from the Duchess “She was placing an order like a regular person except the delivery address was Kensington Palace, which was quite exciting,” said Reinaud. Now, Seraphine has expanded around the world. “It really opens up for us the American market, which is notoriously difficult to get into. We have also opened up distribution in Japan, in China, so, you know, areas where it’s quite hard to penetrate and export and really, the ‘Duchess effect’ has been such that people

have been knocking on our doors.” It’s Kate’s passion for high-street fashion that has helped endear her to the British public and UK fashion retailers have been reaping the

benefits. “Before Prince George came along, LK Bennett was identified as one of her favourite shoe stores. Reiss did exceptionally well when

it was identified as being one of hers and I don’t think Alexander McQueen has had any harm done by designing the wedding dress and her regularly wearing their

clothes for special occasions,” said Eric Musgrove, editorial director of industry publication Drapers. The Reiss dress worn by Kate when she and Prince William met President Obama and his wife Michelle reportedly sold out within hours, while her Alexander McQueen wedding dress has been widely copied. Reinaud thinks this is a positive trend not just for UK fashion’s profits but also the British public’s dress sense. “I think she is playing a fantastic role in promoting British fashion from the brand’s point of view, but also she has raised the ante in terms of the elegance, because she is so elegant. I think she’s kind of pushed a lot of the average people to think ‘I need to be as elegant as her’,” she said. And with Seraphine reporting 60 percent growth in the last twelve months, retailers will be hoping Kate continues to boost accessible fashion for the British public

Falcons fly to Holland CHICHESTER FALCONS SOFTBALL CLUB put the City on the softball world map last weekend, when they took a squad to the Almere ’90 Windmill Classic Softball Tournament in the Netherlands.

A team of ten players flew out on Friday to meet up with expat-Falcon Ilse van Roessel at the tournament venue in Almere, 20 miles outside Amsterdam. Pitted against teams from all over Europe, the Falcons quickly found that the standard of play was much higher than in the UK. Many of the opposing teams were made up of US military personnel from bases in Holland, Germany and England, so naturally with that came some big hitting and fast, exciting softball. Nevertheless, the Falcons held their own and turned double plays, struck out the big sticks for fun and dispatched one of the European sides ‘The Usual Suspects’ 9-1 on the first day. The second day of the tournament brought drama as right fielder

Kelly Mikulla made a full stretch leap to catch a flyball but landed awkwardly. The medical team was summoned as it became clear that something was wrong - a visit to the local hospital revealed that Kelly had broken and dislocated her fibula and tibia. In true Falcons style, Kelly was back with the team at the earliest opportunity; smiling and in plaster, scheduled for an operation on her return home to Chichester. Her amazing catch still counted in the game, to end the third inning. With one further match to play, what followed will go down in the Falcons’ history books forever. Despite their best efforts, the Chichester side had not yet managed to hit a home run in their first tournament abroad. Cue Sam McGann at the plate, who crushed a formidable homer well over the left field fence. Pandemonium ensued in the Falcons dugout as Sam rounded the bases, leaving the team happy to pick up their tournament trophy in

the closing presentation ceremony. “We expected tough opposition and we certainly got that,” said captain David Morris. “We got stuck in and competed against softballers who compete at an international level, we made a lot of new friends and made a good account of ourselves and the City. After picking up a nasty injury, Kelly bravely

showed real team spirit and Sam’s home run gave us something to talk about for years to come. Good job Falcons.” Anyone who wants to try softball and join the Falcons should email chichesterfalcons@gmail.com or visit www.chichesterfalcons.com. The Falcons run weekly sessions for both kids and adults.
