Most dangerous road named Report names Chichester to Petworth as death trap

A COUNTRY ROUTE in West Sussex has been named as the most persistently dangerous road in Britain, according to a report. The Road Safety Foundation (RSF) compiled the publication called How Safe Are You on Britain’s Roads. It found the 12-mile (19.31km) A285 between Chichester and Petworth was the most dangerous, as fatal and serious crashes had risen 16% from 18 to 21 between 2007 and 2012. West Sussex County Council said

it had carried out improvements on the A285 between Petworth and Chichester to improve the situation. A 10-mile (16.9km) part of the A809 in Glasgow was found to be the next worst. The report looked at high-risk and medium high-risk roads which have shown little or no change in accident levels or which had increases in crashes between 2007 and 2012. The RSF said safety measures on the A285 were not enough and “more far-reaching intervention” was needed. A West Sussex County Council spokesman said the road was a A285 between Chichester and Petworth was the most dangerous road in UK Woman arrested over allegation of fraud at Selsey legal firm

priority and that it had invested in safety schemes with more works planned. “These improvements include lowering speed limits, installing flashing warning signs and enhancing static signs,” he said. The third most dangerous road was a section of the A937 at Montrose, Angus. Other roads mentioned were a stretch of the A18 between Laceby

and Ludborough in Lincolnshire, a section of the A6 at Lancaster and part of the A61 at Wakefield in West Yorkshire. The RSF report also showed fatal and serious crashes had been reduced by 80%, from 237 to 52, on 15 stretches of roads it looked at because councils had done lowcost maintenance with routine maintenance. Overall the risks on Britain’s ‘A’

roads and motorways has reduced by 12 per cent in the last six years according to foundation’s report, called ‘How safe are you on Britain’s roads?’. A total of £14 billion is lost annually in road crashes on Britain’s roads based on the number of reports made to the police, and 14 per cent of the UK’s road network surveyed was labelled as “unacceptably high risk”.

Think Family project to be extended in West Sussex A WEST SUSSEX PROGRAMME which is changing hundreds of people’s lives for the better is to be extended for up to five years. West Sussex County Council has given the go-ahead to extend the Think Family initiative for 2015/16 and has given support ‘in principle’ to continue the programme until 2020. Think Family is the local version of the government’s Troubled Families initiative and involves the County Council working with partners in Children’s Services, Sussex Police, District and Borough Councils, health organisations, Job Centres and many commercial and charitable care agencies. The first phase of the Think Family programme has the aim of turning around the lives of 1,165 families by the end of March 2015. So far 907 families have achieved

success against government criteria and Think Family is well on its way to meeting this target. The next phase of the programme could now see another 4,000 families benefiting from the innovative help and support that Keyworkers and other specialist services offer to families. Peter Evans, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Children – Start of Life, said: “This project really is turning people’s lives around and helping families on so many levels. “Not only is West Sussex the best area in the country for getting people back into employment under the Think Family scheme but it’s also thought to be the only area to be using a neighbourhood approach. This is a really successful approach where we work collectively with people living in certain areas to empower

them to make positive changes for themselves.” Phase two of the programme will work with the families affected by at least two of the following issues: • Parents and children involved in crime or anti-social behaviour. • Children who have not been attending school regularly. • Children who need help. • Adults out of work or at risk of financial exclusion and young people at risk or unemployment. • Families affected by domestic violence and abuse. • Parents and children with a range of health problems. The proposal to extend the scheme was recently endorsed by the County Council’s Children and Young People’s Services Select Committee.

CHICHESTER ANTHEM A Mayor for Chichester? A la Boris? One day. How about a Chichester anthem? Jerusalem is played at the rugby, but it’s actually a Chichester song about looking down over Chichester from the top of the Trundle. It would have to be a classical drinking song, how about Der alte Dessauer from “The Enemy Below”. T SHIRT ETHICS The T shirt “This is what a Feminist looks like”, which Ed M and Nick C wore had a tag of £45 but it seems they were made by people (women) paid 70p an hour. INEQUALITY Did you know that the 86 richest billionaires in the world have as much wealth as the poorest half of the entire population of planet earth? Okay you and I probably aren’t in either bracket, but did you know that if you earn £14,000 you are in the world’s top 4% of earners.

GLOBAL STUFF Apparently 98% of the stuff we buy (Clothes, saucepans, electronic gizmos) are made in Asia, mainly in China. By people who get 70p an hour. And we go “Yeah, well at least it gives them some kind of income” That’s if we think about them at all.

CHEATING AT EXAMS When I sat my Eleven Plus there was a question “What creatures are kept in an apiary?” I knew that it was bees, because I had a children’s encyclopaedia at home with a page about bee keeping. But my class teacher, who wanted to help, noticed my answer as he was prowling among the desks and silently pointed to where I’d pencilled “Bees” and whispered to me “Apes”. I rubbed it out while he stood next to me and wrote “Apes”. Then just before I handed it in I rubbed out “Apes” and put “Bees”. I’ve never forgotten this episode, it makes you wonder different things.

RACISM During the American Civil War Liverpool sided with the Confederates because they wanted the trade in cotton to continue. Manchester wrote to Lincoln and said that even though it meant poverty and hunger for Mancunians, they wanted slavery to end. PRE-CHRISTMAS DIET I generally put on 4 to 7lbs over Christmas, brilliant! I knock most of it off being a good boy in January, but this year we’ve gone in for dropping 4 to 7lbs in advance.

ANSWERS Immigration: the average answer Brits give is 24, in fact it’s 13, so we overestimate immigration by nearly double. Girls: the average guess is 1 in 6, it’s actually 1 in 33. A billion seconds is 31 years. BTW I ripped the numbers from a MORI poll and stand-up mathematician Matt Parker.

NUMBERS Apparently we Brits are rubbish at numbers. Question; how many out of the average 100 people in Britain are immigrants? How many teenage girls get pregnant per year (out of 100)? If a million seconds is 11 days, how long is a billion seconds? Answers at the bottom. Contact Tommy: Follow Tommy on

Officers were contacted in May this year with a complaint about the way a Selsey legal firm, Coates and Co, was handling the distribution of a Middlesex woman’s estate after her death. The allegation involves the misappropriation of £85,000 from the estate to the beneficiaries. A 45-year-old woman from Selsey

Water Angel aims to reduce alcohol-related A&E visits WEST SUSSEX PUBS, clubs and bars are being encouraged to become ‘Water Angels’ to help reduce alcohol-related anti-social behaviour and A&E visits. Licensed premises are being urged to make it as easy as possible for 18-24 year olds on a night out to get access to free drinking water. The Water Angel scheme was launched today (Tuesday) by West Sussex County Council’s Public Health team ahead of Alcohol Awareness Week which runs 17-23 November. The scheme is thought to be the first of its kind in the UK. A pilot project at one of the county’s biggest nightclubs saw models dressed up in angel wings handing out shots of water from water packs to clubbers. Smaller venues are being asked to introduce water coolers to make sure people can top up with water. West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing, Christine Field, said: “This is about making it easier for young adults to drink more water, and in so, doing helping them to pace their drinking and avoid a hangover. “Local young adults have told us that they often forget to drink water

on nights out, and that having to queue at a bar and ask for a glass of water is a barrier – so why not take the water to them? “It is a simple idea but could have real benefits both for the health and safety of young adults and venues – and their local communities - where it could lead a reduction in antisocial behaviour.” Recent local health research found that 18-24 years olds often forget to drink water on nights out and that it was sometimes seen as a sign of weakness by their peers. They also said that having to queue at the

bar for water was another barrier as they did not want to miss out on their fun. Among those backing the scheme is 22-year-old Henry Maybury, a University of Chichester graduate, whose older brother Tom died in his 20s from alcohol addiction. Henry’s song Lost Days, in memory of his brother, has been viewed more than a million times on YouTube and he has set up the Lost Days campaign to raise money for addiction and recovery charities. Henry said: “I think Water Angels is a fantastic idea as it conveniently

promotes drinking water without being too blatant, which is critical if we want to change the mind-set that it’s acceptable to pace yourself while on a night out. I really hope the scheme catches on around the UK and I’m proud to be part of it!” Sussex Police has backed the scheme. Licensing and Public Safety Manager at Sussex Police, Jean Irving, said: “I think Water Angels is a great idea. Anything that dilutes the effects of alcohol is a very positive step forward. We welcome any initiative that can help to prevent drunken anti-social behaviour.”

Adam Foxley, General Manager at Moka nightclub in Crawley, which trialled the scheme, said they had very positive feedback. He said: “The events went really well. The concept was to offer people the chance to have a great night whilst drinking safely by remembering to drink water in between their alcoholic beverages. “We had models dressed with angel wings and they helped get the safer drinking message across. The concept went down really well with people. “We would definitely encourage other venues to incorporate this concept into the nights as it only had a positive effect.” A Water Angel website (www. water-angel.co.uk) and Facebook page www.facebook.com/ WaterAngelUK has been set up with messages about safer drinking. According to Public Health England, over nine million people (22% of the population) drink at levels that increase the risk of harm to their health. The County Council’s Public Health plan, Healthy and Well in West Sussex 2012-2017, highlights the need to reduce hospital admissions for alcohol-related harm.

Work starts to make walking and cycling clearer around Chichester train station CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS will notice something different around Chichester railway station and Southgate in the coming weeks. Improvements are being made to make the station forecourt clearer and safer for pedestrians, cyclists, taxis and motorists. A new cycle route will be created between the station and the city centre, while an existing cycle link from the station to Westgate Leisure Centre will be upgraded. Pedestrians will find it easier to cross between the station entrance (near the Globe pub) and the level crossing on Stockbridge Road. West Sussex County Council is carrying out the work – which started on Monday, November 3 - to make it easier for people to travel by bike or by foot and for passengers to move between the railway and bus stations. County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Pieter

Montyn, said: “This work will make it much clearer and safer for people to cycle and walk around the city. “There will be clearer signs for motorists and taxis when they arrive at the station to pick up or drop-off passengers.” He added: “There are further improvements to cycle routes in Chichester planned next year, at Northgate and along a circular route for the entire city. “By the spring we expect cycling around Chichester City Centre to be an appealing alternative to travelling by car.” The work is expected to last for five weeks and disruption is likely. Motorists are encouraged to use the southern forecourt to pick up and drop of passengers. The taxi rank and disabled parking bays on the northern side of the station will be temporarily relocated elsewhere within the station car park for the duration of

the works. Traffic management will be in place to limit access to the northern side of the station. West Sussex County Council was awarded £2.46m from the Government’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) to deliver initiatives in Chichester and Horsham between 2012/13 and 2014/15. This investment is being used to improve public transport interchange facilities at rail stations, cycle routes and pedestrian facilities, and to fund initiatives that encourage people to change the way they travel to work and school. The Chichester Railway Station Forecourt improvements are being delivered in partnership between WSCC, Network Rail and Southern Railway. WSCC’s Highways term contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places, will be delivering the works through their sub-contractor, Landbuild Ltd.

RESIDENTS across West Sussex are being urged to look out for rogue doorstep traders preying on elderly and vulnerable neighbours. The call comes as National Consumer Week - Monday, November 3 to Friday, November 7 - which is supported by West With as many as 170,000 incidents of doorstep crime occurring nationally each year, the National Consumer Week 2014 ‘Good Neighbours Stop Rogue Traders’ campaign advises neighbours, friends, families and carers about how to spot incidents of concern and the practical steps they can take to support vulnerable victims and to gather relevant information. These traders often cold call and offer to carry out work at properties which is of poor quality, unnecessary and charged at extortionate prices, sometimes even driving the victim to the bank to withdraw money or threatening them. West Sussex Trading Standards are advising residents to always say ‘No’ to traders offering home improvement services in order to avoid becoming a victim. West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, Lionel Barnard, said: “National Consumer Week gives power back to communities and helps prevents those most at risk from

FOR THE LAST FEW years St Wilfrid’s Hospice have been selling Christmas cards featuring bespoke paintings of local scenes which have proved very popular. This year there are 9 local scenes with Arundel Castle, the bandstand at Bognor Regis Band and Halnaker Windmill among the new locations

being featured. The other bespoke scenes are East Street and Tower Street in Chichester, Emsworth Village and Langstone Harbour, Bosham and West Wittering. The cards sell for £3.95 per pack of 10 and some designs are already in short supply so don’t delay! Traditional cards are also

becoming victims of doorstep crime. “Alongside the work carried out by trading standards officers to halt and prosecute rogue traders, neighbourhood intervention plays a key role in reducing doorstep crime – enhancing the impact of local communities.” The detriment of doorstep crime reaches beyond financial loss. It can cause a person’s mental health to deteriorate and in some cases, suffer physical harm. To support the campaign, Trading Standards Officers will be out and about in West Sussex during National Consumer Week promoting the key campaign messages and giving out ‘no cold caller’ door stickers which residents can display to deter doorstep callers. The stickers are also available from libraries in West Sussex. If you need advice in relation to a doorstep caller issue then call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06. Incident details will be forwarded to Trading Standards for follow up. For more information about National Consumer week and for practical advice on how you can help prevent vulnerable householders becoming victims of doorstep criminals go to www.westsussex.gov. uk/doorstep.

Refusal to help cancer patients is a cancer itself We might wonder who the faceless decision-makers at NHS England are who refused the appeal from the consultant of cancer patient, Alice Dann, for her to have specific cutting-edge drugs? How dare they deny her the drugs and add to the poor woman’s burden, while stating in grandiose language on their website that: “central to our ambition is to place the patients and the public at the heart of everything we do.” Working for a radio station in Southampton a few years ago, I interviewed a man who said he was handing back his MBE in disgust at the refusal to fund the drugs his wife’s consultant had similarly asked for. NHS England turned down Alice and her urgent need, someone who has contributed to society as a taxpayer and to the next generation as a teacher? How can they justify such inhumanity on any grounds while we remember they paid for a wannabee model to have a boob job, not for reconstructive surgery, but because she was depressed at her bust size? Fortunately, a charity at

Fifty Years On My grandparents have just taken us on holiday to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary.

The thing about relationships of this depth is the amount of work and emotion that has to go into them; the acceptance that you have to show to one another, as well as the support and encouragement year after year is UNREAL. It goes to show that if something is so legit, even with the bumps of life straining relationships, they can actually work out. I have an exceptional love for my grandparents, perhaps because they’re pretty much the coolest people in the world. These are the beautiful humans who took my cousin and I to a fashion show as special guests of Betty Jackson, where my granddad pushed to the front of the queue with the line ‘Tell them it’s Victor. They’ll know who I am.’ The people who have calmly bought ingredients for me and my cousin’s ‘special creations’ on countless occasions throughout the years and enthusiastically pretended to enjoy our Chocolate and Grape

off-peak train, as long as you buy the ticket before 6pm the evening before, it should cost £8. And Dee reminded me that off-peak ends not at 7pm but at 7.15pm, which means you can’t do an honest day’s labour then get the 7.02pm back, but, irritatingly, have to wait for the 7.32pm.

explanation and didn’t demand

Unfair fares Thanks to all of you who wrote to On the Case about the train fares from Chichester to London before 10am when off-peak fares start. Herald reader Stuart points out that you can ask for a single, Southern-only ticket to London Victoria for the outbound journey and an “off-peak single from Victoria to Chi, Southern only, using the Network Card” for the return. That makes it around £30 outbound and £19 for the return, thinks Stuart. He sums up by saying “still bloody £50 though” which I think captures the spirit of the exchange. But I think I can better Stuart’s suggestion. If you buy the return part of your journey for a booked, specific

Men in dark suits Another train story is occurring, as they say. A man had lost his return ticket in a stampede for a changed platform. The big, big-hearted conductor accepted the story but said he could not guarantee the passenger safe travel after the Horsham switch when he would be at the mercy of his replacements. I believed him, too, having overheard his conversation to another passenger. The safe passage seemed as if it would be short-lived when two uniformed individuals bore down on him not 10 minutes later. I think he was shocked that they accepted his

But I mean, they’ve been married fifty years. We’re an extremely tight family; the seven cousins and our army of adults who sometimes join in our Mad Raves (we’re currently enjoying our Mad Raves on Tour because we’re in the incred Gran Canaria). And all of this is because of them. So when I have life problems, I will just think about them, the people who really do actually know what they’re doing, and hope that one day I can be just like them.

Talking of visiting London, I had to find somewhere to take an easily-bored child yesterday and, wanting to avoid the queues of Madame Tussaud’s, settled on The Clink, a museum of prisoners and punishments through the ages, at London Bridge.

Chichester Cathedral awarded second grant from the First World War Centenary Cathedral Repairs Fund CHICHESTER CATHEDRAL RESTORATION & DEVELOPMENT TRUST has received a £100,000 grant award from the First World War Centenary Cathedral Repairs Fund. Grants from the fund, announced at Budget 2014, allow cathedrals to undertake urgent repair work. The Trust successfully applied to the second round of the scheme for funds towards urgent repairs that are needed to part of the Cathedral roof, attached to the South Transept. This particular roof space covers the St Pantaleon Chapel which is an essential part of Cathedral life; the Chapel is a hub for the Cathedral’s volunteers (600 in total) and is also a sacristy frequently in use as part of the Cathedral’s daily round of worship. Ruth Poyner, Cathedral Spokeswoman, said: “Chichester Cathedral is one of a reducing number of English Cathedrals maintaining a free entry policy and this is enabled, in part, by the constant fundraising efforts of the Restoration Trust. The receipt of this grant is particularly welcome at a time when the Cathedral is

embarking on a major programme of restoration and development projects over the next ten years or so, necessitating a trebling of the Trust’s fundraising efforts to date.” Craig Sergeant, Trust Director,

comments: “This is wonderful news and we are immensely grateful to both the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and ChurchCare. The repairs to this part of the roof will cost a total of £195,000, so this

much needed award, together with matched funding being provided by the Trust, will enable this urgent work to be completed within the next 12 months.’ This award is part of a second

round of funding allocations – the £20million First World War Centenary Fund was set up earlier this year to help Cathedrals with urgent repairs and the first round of grants was announced in July. In the first round, Chichester Cathedral was awarded £140,000 for urgent repairs to another part of the Cathedral roof – its North West Tower. Craig Sergeant explains: ‘We are incredibly fortunate to receive this second award, notification of which is very aptly timed as it coincides with the start of the project enabled by the first award announced earlier this year. That first project, to repair the roof to the North West Tower, commenced on Thursday of last week.” Grants such as this are an essential part of the Trust’s fundraising efforts, they enable urgent works to take place, so the Trust can turn its attention to the continuing - and challenging - task of raising funds for the Cathedral’s numerous other restoration and development projects; an essential and costly programme of work requiring many millions of pounds.

National News News in Brief

Thousands take part in London ‘Guy Fawkes’ protest

• A FORMER radio DJ has denied raping a 15-year-old girl alongside Jimmy Savile in the 1960s. The alleged victim told a trial in Manchester that Ray Teret took her from a disco to a flat where Savile was present, then the two men raped her. But Mr Teret said that he had “never had sex in the same room with anyone and certainly not Jimmy Savile”. Mr Teret, 73, from Altrincham, denies more than 30 charges of sex abuse, including 18 counts of rape. • A MAN wanted by police over assault and domestic violence offences has taunted officers by posting a “selfie” taken outside a police station on Facebook. Aaron Bee from Lincoln shared the photo after police identified him as wanted over two attacks in October. The 22-year-old also posted a picture of a police officer, captioned: “Hello is it me your looking for”. • A WOMAN has been banned from owning animals for life after her dog mauled her pregnant friend, tearing off part of her lip and almost killing her. Laura Holmes, 21, tried to escape the Akita dog by shutting herself in a bathroom. Tracie Taylor, 49, of Hope Close, The Meadows, Nottingham, admitted allowing her dog to be out of control. She was told to pay Miss Holmes £1,000 in compensation and was given a 16-week jail sentence suspended for 12 months. Taylor was also handed a 12-month supervision order at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court. • AN ACADEMY in Bradford has sent home 152 pupils for arriving at the school gates without meeting its dress code. Hanson Academy strictly enforced its school uniform policy on Tuesday, with almost 10% of pupils failing to reach the academy’s standards. Angry parents took to the school’s Facebook page to complain about the new measures. But Hanson Academy claims it «communicated clearly» its expectations for this school year. • A LIVERPOOL FAN has told the Hillsborough inquests he was “dumbfounded” at the lack of help given to supporters as the disaster unfolded. London firefighter Anthony O’Keefe said he left his seat and went onto the pitch to assist the injured. Mr O’Keefe, who also helped at the King’s Cross Tube disaster in 1987, said he was “amazed” by the lack of an effective emergency response. He described the situation on the day as “really frustrating”. • A MAN was left with burns after he was attacked by Halloween pranksters who covered him in quick-setting insulation foam. The masked men sprayed Michael Day, 21, with cavity wall foam near his parents’ home in Archer Avenue, Southend. The material, which was “rock hard” within minutes, burnt skin off of his hands and scalp, his mother said. “If it had gone in his nose or mouth, he would have suffocated,” she added.

West Sussex woman dies in Cyprus holiday sea rescue bid A BRITISH woman has died saving her husband from drowning while on holiday in Cyprus. Christine Sugarhood, from West Sussex, suffered a heart attack pulling her husband Norman from the sea at the resort of Paphos. Police in Paphos said a second man, aged 61, who tried to save Mrs Sugarhood, 66, also died from a heart attack, after giving her first aid. Friends who knew Mrs Sugarhood have been paying tribute to her. Neighbour Pam Barber said

Mr and Mrs Sugarhood had lived next door to her in Lindfield, near Haywards Heath, for more than a decade. “They had family, grandchildren, and they were quite involved with them,” she said. “Her husband is older and I’m not sure how he’s going to manage as I don’t think he’s very well.” Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “It’s an absolute tragedy. She was a delightful person.” The incident occurred in the Yeroskipou area of the tourist resort. Paphos has notoriously strong currents off its beaches.

FORMER England goalkeeper David James is to auction hundreds of items of football memorabilia collected during his career. James, who played for Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Manchester City and Portsmouth, was declared bankrupt in May. Among the items being sold through London-based auctioneer

Hilco are 150 signed shirts, shorts and match balls. Also being sold is James’s customised Astra van and Raleigh Chopper bikes. The 44-year-old won 53 England caps during a career that also saw spells at Watford, Bristol City and Bournemouth and is currently goalkeeper and manager of Indian

Super League side Kerala Blasters FC. Bids for his possessions, which also include exercise and DJ equipment, vinyl records, books and toys, are being accepted from 6 to 18 November. Shirts including an England home kit signed by the team, and a bright pink Portsmouth goalkeeper’s jersey, are expected to sell for upwards of £30-50 each.

when its tyres are thought to have exploded in the fierce heat. The blaze happened at the junction of Stafford Road and Sandy Lane in Wallington, at 14:00 GMT on Tuesday. The driver of the 157 pulled over to the side of the road and got passengers off as smoke came from the back. London Ambulance service treated one person for shock. The cause of the fire is not thought to be suspicious. “There was an explosion on the bus which threw debris from the bus across the road,” a police spokesman said.

Chichester Business Picture Yourself as a Small Business Owner Kylee Charles Director of PR Consultancy Mindseye Management

It’s alleged that 2014 has become the year of the home-based business. Created in spare time, in the third bedroom, many flourish whilst full and part-time jobs continue. Ideal for many, these inspired ventures are supporting many with additional incomes, fuelling the entrepreneurial streak that often lies untouched. This is a business trend that is catching fire. More individuals look for the flexibility to work for themselves and from home, so they can live where they wish, work when they want and earn the income needed in order to support their family.

Chichester Herald provides businesses with an unrivalled, targeted and costeffective advertising solution across the City with a newspaper readership of 83,000. The newspaper is available for selfselected pick-up across the city of Chichester and surrounding areas in a wide variety of locations every Friday. We also deliver thousands of newspapers to homes across the area every week. As well as this, over 1000 businesses

It’s reported that more than 70% of all new businesses are started from home, with many of the best ideas beginning with the imagination and creativity of individuals who start part-time. However, great percentages are making full-time careers from their efforts. Perhaps you’re wondering whether you are you ready to take the first steps too. Local creative Jas Sheridan is an example of one such home-based business, which began with an innovative idea. When a contract with an employer ceased, she was given the prompt she needed in order to realise a creative ambition. “Picture This Picture That started out like all good ideas, as more of a hobby,” Jas told me. “I had an idea about displaying pictures in a more interesting way than just in a frame, so an idea to create something with a little more warmth and feeling to it began to be realised. “I started experimenting with transferring pictures onto other objects and there was a huge amount of trial and error. It was frustrating when it didn’t work and there was elation when it did. I then created some products for myself

New gift and handicraft shop Forgotten history opens in the Almshouse Arcade of Bognor Regis

ALTHOUGH SOME SHOPS in Chichester are closing down, new shops continue to open in The Hornet; the latest is Purple Lynn Crafts, which can be found in the Almshouse Arcade. Opening in time make to make the most of the run up to Christmas, Purple Lynn Crafts, sells a selection of handicrafts, handmade gifts and cards. During the next few weeks the shop will also stock a festive range of specially designed handmade Christmas decorations, cards, gift ideas and sample kits of various craft products together with

explanatory notes. The new venture is the brainchild of Lynn White, who is a former illustrator and teaching assistant at South Downs College, where she discovered her love of textiles and textile design. “I have been successfully selling my handmade cards and gifts at Craft Fairs but decided it was time to find a permanent outlet. “I wanted to be in Chichester as it is such a popular shopping destination offering shoppers a mix of big retailers and plenty of unusual small independent shops,” said Lynn.

“In the New Year I plan to offer a service for brides to design their own wedding stationery and as hobby craft is growing in popularity, setup one-to-one workshops for people to come along and try out various craft techniques for themselves.” Purple Lynn Crafts is open from 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Saturday and is the latest retailer to open in the Almshouse Arcade with its popular mix of small shops selling antiques, toys, bric-a-brac, vinyl records and pop memorabilia together with a barber shop and a specialist cake maker.

Covers support Sunshine Corner, the community-inspired playground for Chichester EARLIER this month, Covers of Chichester Depot Manager, Martyn Beck, attended the grand opening of Sunshine Corner, the new community-inspired playground for Chichester. Martyn was proud to visit the project to see what the company’s donated funds and materials had achieved. Chichester College’s student enterprise society, Xpress Yourself, together with Hyde Housing and Bishop Luffa Close Residents’ Association, worked hard to create a fantastic new playground for residents of Parklands, Chichester. In order to build the project, the team needed to raise around

£20,000. The majority of this came from grants, but the remainder relied on local businesses, such as Covers, to step up and make a vital contribution. Lianne Grogen, Project Coordinator and Lecturer at Chichester College, said: “This project was a lot of hard work and co-ordination, but it’s really paid off. Very few of the Parklands residents have gardens but thanks to the help and donations received, the children of this area now have somewhere wonderful and safe to play. We managed to source lots of fun equipment including a slide and climbing frame, and the parents

have somewhere to meet and relax.” Covers’ contribution included two funded plaques that are now on display in the playground and much-needed building materials to help make the project possible. Martyn commented: “Family comes first at Covers and we understand how important it is to spend time together, especially in the fresh air. The playground is a fantastic resource for local residents and their children, and we are proud to have been a part of the project.” For more information about the project, please email: lianne. grogan@chichester.ac.uk.

college unearthed in new book THE HISTORY of a Bognor Regis college which rehabilitated soldiers on their return from the battlefields of World War Two has been unearthed in a new book. Doors of Opportunity reveals the forgotten memories of the Bognor Regis College of Education, now the University of Chichester, which retrained servicemen and women as teachers following a national shortage in 1945. The paperback, which is due for release next week, has been written by West Sussex author and former deputy principal Barbara Smith. She said: “This is a tribute to a generation who returned from the war determined to build a better future for the children who followed. “The history of teacher-training throughout the post-war period was dominated by questions of how to supply teachers at a time of national shortage. “The success of the initiative was part of a broader commitment to economic, social, and cultural regeneration to Bognor Regis from which we still benefit today.” The book will be launched at a commemorative event held in the

Ms Smith will be speaking at the launch, which starts at 3pm, about the institution’s merger with Bishop Otter college in Chichester in 1977, its expansion into the West Sussex Institute of Higher Education, and how it achieved university status in 2005.

How WSCC is taking big strides to reduce its carbon footprint WSCC has continued to significantly reduce

its

carbon

footprint,

delivering savings of more than £500,000 on energy bills. The council has cut the amount of gas and electric used in its buildings by 15% and 23% respectively since 2010. In doing so it has saved £521,675 in energy costs and £32,569 in Carbon

payments - and 2,714 tonnes of carbon. Council Leader Louise Goldsmith said: “A few years ago the County Council, like many others, signed up to reducing its carbon emissions by 50% by 2050 - quite a long time off but I am pleased to say we are on track to deliver this target. “Energy is only going to get more expensive so it is important we make efficiency savings now to help lesson our impact on the environment while saving the taxpayer money. “Our dedicated staff have been instrumental in our success as without their support we would not have been able to deliver such a positive outcome. “However, we won’t stop and will continue to look at ways of making more savings and driving out costs.” The Council has also invested in solar power with photovoltaic panels on its suitable offices, fire stations and libraries. Last year the electricity from 28 installations was almost enough to power all WSCC’s fire stations. Other

The swinging sixties remembered at Chichester College A PACKED Goodwood restaurant played host to a celebratory night of food and entertainment last month as a part of the 50th celebrations. The evening saw the College’s Goodwood restaurant turn back the clock with a full nights’ worth of swinging-sixties inspired entertainment; the first of five evenings pencilled in over the next six months celebrating every decade the College has been in existence. The evening, which hoped to replicate the feeling of the sixties with original music and a specially designed menu, included many former staff and students, who have been greatly involved with

the celebrations of the College over the past few weeks as the 50th anniversary has passed. However, prior to the celebratory dinner, Dawn Gracie, a local singer and entertainer, wowed guests with several renditions of popular sixties classics including Daydream Believer and Something Something. Dawn, who has children studying at the College herself, provided a fitting backdrop to the evening with many guests suitably impressed by the entertainment. The food, which had been specifically designed and created by the Goodwood kitchen team of Level 2 BTEC students, was a

special selection of sixties classics including a starter of melon with raspberry coulis and a main of Beef Bourguignon with rosemary infused potatoes. Whilst for dessert a play on the pineapple upside-down cake put a smile on the faces of the contented guests. In between the three courses, to keep guests thinking, a quiz was devised with questions ranging from ‘How many Principals has Chichester College had since it opened in 1964?’ to ‘What famous institutions or companies also celebrate their 50th birthday this year?’ One guest, Michelle Walters,

who was visiting Goodwood for the first time said: “The food was yummy and perfectly cooked and the singing and décor was brilliant, I’ve really enjoyed myself and will be coming back next month to check out what the ‘seventies’ will bring.” Next up is a seventies-themed night on Thursday 27th November; tickets can be booked by calling Claire in the College’s Goodwood restaurant

journey

through

wormhole in space to save humanity

in this mind-bending sci-fi from the director of ‘Inception’. Single father Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a highly trained pilot. But his skills are redundant in a future world that seems to be turning into a hostile dust bowl. Then a scientist (Michael Caine) persuades him that it is time for mankind to look to the stars for salvation. His idea is to make use of a recently discovered wormhole in space to find habitable planets. But to take part in this risky, pioneering

mission, Cooper will have to leave his two young children behind. Visionary ‘Inception’ and ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy director Christopher Nolan has been typically tightlipped about this extraordinary project. But he promises to add jaw-droppingly innovative visual techniques to his rich storytelling palette. The film also reunites him with Catwoman actress Anne Hathaway. Watch out too for the cameo by Matt Damon.

Food & Drink Florida man orders most ‘Stronger warnings needed’ expensive Starbucks Follow us on Twitter

@chiherald

EVERYONE KNOWS that feeling on a Monday morning when only a strong coffee will get you ready for work. Well one man in the US has taken it to the extreme, ordering Starbucks’ largest ever coffee, containing a grand total of 101 shots. The latte, made with 99 additional shots of espresso and 17 extra servings of vanilla syrup, was ordered by Florida resident William

Lewis Wednesday last week (29 October). We assume he was having a particularly hard time getting into the right frame of mind for work. The beverage has been named the largest and most expensive to be ordered at coffee retailer Starbucks. The extra EXTRA grande latte came in at a total of $83.75. But Lewis did not end up paying for the gargantuan coffee, using his loyalty card instead. The loyalty programme allows customers to receive a free coffee after their 12th purchase, and Lewis capitalised on this. When asked by Today the reason for the 160-ounce caffeine injection, Lewis said: “It’s an internet

challenge. “I wanted to beat out the record.” Florida medical student Sameera Raziuddin held the previous record for largest Starbucks drink ever created. In July she ordered a 60shot frappuccino worth $60.58, which was served to her in a 1.5-gallon jug with a spigot. Political consultant and talk show host Lewis brought along his very own 160-ounce novelty cup that he had purchased online as a joke. However, the people at the coffee giant were far from pleased at Lewis’ purchase. Starbucks spokesperson Linda Mills said that their policy was not to serve hot drinks over the 20-ounce venti size and that the 101-shot latte was a breach of this. Lewis enjoyed the drink with four of his friends, posting images to his social media of him holding the mega latte.

over pregnant women drinking

CAMPAIGNERS and doctors are calling for stronger warnings about drinking during pregnancy, ahead of a legal test case on foetal alcohol syndrome. The case will decide if a child born with serious disabilities caused by her mother’s alcohol consumption should be compensated as a victim of crime. Some estimates suggest thousands are born every year in the UK with serious health defects caused by alcohol. Senior health officials have said there are mixed messages on the issue. NHS guidance states “women who are pregnant or trying to conceive should avoid alcohol

altogether”. But it continues: “If they do choose to drink, to minimise the risk to the baby, we recommend they should not drink more than one or two units once or twice a week, and should not get drunk.” The

Royal

College

Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has said “current scientific opinion points to there being no hard evidence that very small amounts of alcohol consumption during pregnancy are harmful”. But advice and research can seem inconclusive.

Flu season is upon us again! I do think as soon as we get into mid autumn the media starts to scare monger us all. Everywhere you look there’s a poster or an advert for a flu jab. What ever happened to concentrating on our immune systems and just making the body strong and robust? How about we all get educated further in the best super foods and herbs that can support us through these winter months? Nature gave us everything

Denise Kelly Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist we need, so why don’t we utilize this wisdom and knowledge more? So, according to the media, its flu season again right now, but before

you rush out for a flu jab and inject yourself with health-compromising toxins, consider stocking up with honeysuckle tea. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have been prescribing honeysuckle tea to treat flu viruses for over a century, and recent research provides scientific evidence attesting to honeysuckle’s nurturing nature. In fact, the study, published in the journal Cell Research 2014, marks the first time a natural substance has been found to directly attack a virus. Researchers from Nanjing University, China discovered that a molecule in honeysuckle called MIR2911 can suppress the influenza A (IAV) family of viruses, which includes the Spanish flu, swine flu, and avian flu. Even when honeysuckle is mashed up and boiled

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

The Magic Bullet Antibiotics have until now been the ‘magic bullets’ against most infections. But re discovering that a natural product can work in the same way promises new treatments for the virus. Honeysuckle is a popular garden plant with highly perfumed flowers. There are approximately 180 species around the world, of which at least two are native to the UK and more than half of the rest to China. in water, the molecule’s antiviral properties remain in tact, which is a real indicator to how powerful honeysuckle really is. MIR2911 works by deactivating two genes that have been pinpointed as key to the replication of IAV viruses. Researchers also determined that both the natural and synthetic versions of MIR2911 exhibit the same effect on IAV infections. In addition, researchers declare that MIR2911 also directly targets the Ebola virus. That’s a big claim to make, and I have no comment on

that, but if you research the evidence seems to be pretty convincing. Because IAV viruses have the ability to mutate and become resistant to previously effective treatments, it’s important to find natural methods that can treat multiple viruses. Honeysuckle seems to be one such alternative so why not sip on some honeysuckle tea this winter season to see for yourself. It’s safe, side-effect free, and sweet-tasting!

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.

THE FIA have published the provisional 2015 F1 entry list which features 11 two-car teams, including Caterham and Manor. The futures of Caterham and Manor (nee Marussia) had been

in doubt after both teams entered administration following the Russian Grand Prix leading to them missing last Sunday’s United States GP and the forthcoming race in Brazil.

Sky Sports F1 reports that Manor are aiming to return to the grid in Abu Dhabi, while the administrator in charge of Caterham has suggested that the Leafield team could race in the season finale too. The Marussia team was born out of successful junior formula team Manor Competition which previously ran Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen in Formula Renault. Sky Sports News reported that Caterham are “pretty sure” they will be racing in the season finale in Abu Dhabi and that they hope to have a new owner in place by then. “We are still hopeful we will be racing in Abu Dhabi,” said Caterham administrator Finbarr O’Connell. “There are a number of parties involved, but because the financial commitments are so huge it is difficult for people to commit.

Through to the next round of the Sussex County Cup Sunday 26 October 2014 Sussex County Cup Burgess Hill 0-6 Chichester City Ladies

CHICHESTER CITY LADIES began their defence of the Sussex FA County Cup with an away tie at Burgess Hill Town ladies. The Green army won the cup on a memorable night back in March with a 3-0 win over Brighton Ladies. Going into the game as defending champions Chichester knew that opposition teams would raise their own games, trying to cause the ultimate upset. With a mix of first and development squad players Chichester kicked off starting with just four of team that started the final back in March. The Green army started brightly creating several chances however the impressive Burgess Hill ‘keeper was equal to all of them. The deadlock was finally broken after some good combination play on the right hand side between Harnett and Cheshire allowed the

latter to put in a low cross for the arriving Lauren Ellis to tap into the net from close range. After the goal the pressure continued with Ambler finding herself one on one with the home goalkeeper. She fired a low effort towards goal which was turned away for a corner. From the resulting corner Emma Alexandre managed to rise above her marker but nodded the ball just over. Ambler continued to look dangerous and was running through the home defence with relative ease only to find the goalkeeper equal to all of her efforts. In a rare moment of danger the home side struck the bar when a hopeful effort from striker Wheetley caught everyone by surprise. She managed to find a yard of space and volleyed the ball towards goal and with an assisting wind the ball bounced off the top of the crossbar for a goal kick. Without really getting out of first gear Chichester went into the

break with a one goal advantage. It took less than five minutes for Chichester to put any thoughts of an upset to bed as first Ambler then Cheshire both got on the scoresheet. Within a minute of the restart Ambler found herself on the end of a through ball from midfield and this team there was no stopping her low driven effort. Shortly after Cheshire found herself through on goal and with another low angled strike from the right the tie was effectively over. Chichester used both of their substitutes bringing on Greene and Symonds and their energy brought further problems to Burgess Hill. After having come on Greene proved too strong for her marker who she was able to turn and rifle a shot towards goal from all of 25 yards out, once again the home team ‘keeper was equal to the effort tipping it over the bar. It was a case of when not if the holders would increase their lead and the goal came on 70 minutes when Cheshire showed great

innovation to turn a cross in from the left hand side when it may have been easier to use her head. The fifth came when Sian Payne was put through on goal and with everyone willing her to score to cap an impressive performance she cooly slotted the ball into the back of the net. There was just time for a sixth when Becky Barron

found herself in space and latched onto a cross from the right hand side. An impressive performance which sees the ladies into the next round. Chichester are once again in cup action at home to Leicester city ladies on the 9th of November, 14.00 kick off.
