Much loved St Paul’s head Derek killed at Robertsbridge
Derek Norcross [pictured] was killed last week in a car accident. Reports vary, but according to one, he was in Robertsbridge, on Friday 10 November, walking to pick up his grandson from school when he was knocked down by a vehicle which had mounted the pavement. It is believed the driver had suffered a heart attack. Derek was, without doubt, an extremely well-known and well-loved individual. Tributes are led by our local MP, Michael Foster:
word. He was respected indeed loved across the community. Living close to Bohemia and for it seemed a lifetime the Head of the local St Paul's School his friendly presence around the district will be sorely missed. I know as I would often cross the Bohemia crossing there was Derek coming out of Newgate Road waving and smiling. Although well in to his eighth decade Derek was youthful, involved, committed in everything he did - and what a lot he did. Educationalist, musician, “politician” (albeit without the politics), charity worker and above all family man. It was perhaps unsurprising that at the time of his tragic death he was performing his grandfather tasks which, despite his many facets, was a task he loved. Hastings and particularly Bohemia will be a lesser place without Derek’s presence. Many will have much to thank him for. He is someone who brightened the lives of everyone he came in contact with. Our thoughts and prayers will be with Audrey and the family at this time.’ Michael Foster, DL, MP.
“This past week as local folk have learned of the tragic passing of Derek Norcross there has been not a dry eye. “Mr Hastings” as he was sometimes affectionately known was a ‘He was charismatic, had boundless man of whom I never heard a critical energy and enthusiasm for so many
things. He was a Rotarian and set up the local Rotaract, a junior version of the Rotary Club, for 18 to 28 year olds. He persuaded me to go along, and that’s where I met my husband. I remember how Derek used to hold the children spellbound in his hands during assembly at school. Every Christmas he’d tell this wonderful story about how the school had acquired its Christmas tree. The children just sat there, totally enraptured. I was a teacher at St Paul’s for nine years and Derek was the head during the entire period. After I left, he didn’t forget me: he turned up to see me in the maternity hospital after he’d heard I was having complications with my pregnancy’ - Jacky Scales, ex-teacher at St Paul’s. ‘Tragic - a dreadful loss to the community. There’s been nothing in the news, despite his importance to the town.’ - Anne, former pupil and fellow churchgoer. ‘A splendid man. I last saw him two weeks ago at the 8am service at St Peter’s Church. I noticed that he knew by heart all the ‘responses’ without once having to refer to the ‘Old English Prayer Book’. He was a
churchgoer all his life and patronised several local churches. He did so much for all the local churches and of course, St Paul’s School. He was an OBE and deservedly so. A wonderful man.’ - Stewart Buchan, fellow churchgoer. ‘A dear friend, and a colleague for many, many, years. He was always a good friend. Derek had acted as master of ceremonies at our production of The Last Bombshell, a cabaret about the end of the second world war. He was a great lover of music, and a great conductor.’ - David Henty, Shades Theatre Company. ‘A great guy - a really great headmaster.’ - John, former pupil. ‘I feel so sorry for his wife Audrey.’ Pam - ex-dinner lady at St Paul’s. ‘He knew the names of all the children and was much loved by all. Apparently, if he entered the playground all the kids would rush up to him wanting to hold his hand and he could subdue a rowdy crowd simply by lifting a finger. All in all the most popular headmaster ever.’ - Local parent whose daughter went to St Paul’s.
Bohemia Association meeting Prize Short Story Competition The Bohemia Area Association held its November meeting at the YMCA at the beginning of the month. Although an ‘open’ meeting, only two members of the public attended.
Beverly Winchester (pictured) attended from the Gensing & Central St Leonards Forum (GCSLF). She explained that her 20-hours a week job is to ‘build capacity for the Forum’. “That is, my task is to try to get more residents to attend meetings of and take more interest in the GCSLF.” She spoke a little about the St Leonards Festival and confirmed that next year it will be held on 14th July. Beverly has only been in her new job for six weeks. Street cleaning was discussed.
Chairman, Peter Holland said he’d been asked by an Australian visitor “Don’t they clean your streets anymore?” It was asked if the BAA could see a copy of cleaning company Veolia’s service contract and whether it contained provision for penalties to be paid by them. Parking bays for the disabled. A lady from Salisbury Road queried the number of these which are not in use. She said that the bay reserved for number 47 Salisbury Road had recently become redundant as the resident had moved, and the one outside number 42 had not been used for two years. She had complained to Hastings Borough Council at Menzies Road and that ‘Lorraine’ had written to her explaining that anyone may park in a disabled bay, providing there is no post with a disabled notice! Cllr Vivienne Bond said she will find out if the unused disabled bays can be removed. Junction Protection. It was reported that ‘Junction Protection’ is being planned for the area where Upper South Road joins Clarence Road. But what exactly is ‘junction protection’? St Paul’s School. Is St Paul’s to become a community school? It was

reported that the school may change its hours of opening next year as a consequence of conditions imposed upon newly designated ‘community schools’. Will St Paul’s become such a school? Will it have morning clubs and after school clubs as a result of these measures? Children playing out late. The lady from Salisbury Road said that there are children playing in her street from early morning till late at night. She has had three windows broken.
“What can be done?” she asked. Cllr Bond promised to contact the ‘MATT Team. [MATT = MultiAgency Tasking Team]. Also attending the meeting were secretary Jeanette Holland, vice chair Andy Holmes, Vic Chalcraft, Iris Millar, Rosemary Iddenden, Eileen Fermor, Terry Foord, John L Humphries, councillor Trevor Webb. Jennifer Kelynack represented Cllr Daniel Poulter and a gentleman, ‘Dave’, from North Road.

Elvis boogies for Bangladesh Yes, Elvis, in the person of councillor Richard Stevens (pictured) of Bayeux Court, got down and belted out the old favourites in the Old Town two weeks ago. The event was Boogie for Bangladesh and the funds raised were for providing wells for Bangladesh. Richard has been actively involved in the project for about ten years and has personally been out to Bangladesh five times to oversee the installation of the wells. Each one costs about £400 and he still needs funds: 01424 781026.

A Bohemia twitten has been named. It’s taken 100 years for Shornden Passage, which runs between Upper Park Rd and Upper South Rd to officially acquire its name. Ron Salt of Top Gun Clothing which is situated in the walkway, said “We have now agreed that the passage is officially known as Shornden Passage and that the Highways and Postal Authorities have confirmed it.” The Bohemia Area Association is currently soliciting local public opinion about names for other passageways: suggestion boxes are in place at Wood's and Munday's newsagents into which residents can gives their ideas for names. Maps showing the alleyways are also on display. Suggestions so far include 'Chalcraft Walk' for the path from eastern end of Aldborough Road to Newgate Road, and 'North Star Passage' or 'Newgate Passage' for the path running from the North Star pub to Newgate Road. Cllr Vivienne Bond has suggested that once a collection of proposed names has been gathered, articles in the local newsletters be run including the suggestions and appealing for further ideas.

Dancer Vivienne’s hectic Lib-Dem life until 2008. I do know what’s going on nationally, but my over-riding interest is in local politics.” Vivienne is on HBC’s Planning Committee, (two Lib-Dem, three Labour and five Tory councillors, plus chair), which ivienne went to Silverdale meets monthly. “As a councillor, School in Silverhill, then to there’s so many things you’d like to Hastings Secondary School do, but funding is the problem with (now Hillcrest School). She became all schemes. If the money’s not there, deputy head girl and games captain. you just can’t do it.” The games she played were netball, tennis and hockey - ‘badly’. She left at 16 with six GCEs - at the time, she was only in the second year that left that school at 16 - in previous years the kids left school at 15. She did dancing training locally at Esme Child’s in St Leonards: she went there from age 7 right up to 21. In 1968 she won the gold medallion for Dance at the Hastings Musical Festival when she was 19. This involved best scores for ballet dance and character dance. Vivienne worked as a student/teacher full time at Esme Child’s from the age of 16 up to 21. She left at 20 to get married and for the next ten years she had her own dancing school in Ore Village: the ‘Vivienne Moore School of Dancing’. She met her late husband Chris when he, along with five other young men, took part in a revue which Vivienne was also in. “Chris was very light on his feet.” They got married when Vivienne was 20. Aldborough Road resident and professional dance teacher Vivienne Bond talks about herself, her family and her non-stop life as our Lib-Dem councillor. She also reveals a secret passion ... and why she hates ‘Borat’.
V
hey have four children: Richard, now 38, Sarah, 36, Emily, 27 and Matthew, 26. “My dad, Albert Moore, used to own ‘The Woodworker’ in Ore Village for many years. Prior to that he was a coach builder for cars. Mum was a typical ‘mum at home’, but at 55 she started helping out at ‘The Woodworker’ in the afternoons. She made all of my dance costumes. She used to look after my children in the afternoons as well. My husband Chris became seriously ill in 2000 and we had to close our greengrocery shop. He died in 2001.”
On the way home, I do some shopping and get in about 4pm. My energy level is usually low at this time. I often have a meeting to go to at 6pm. If it’s a Planning Committe meeting, we usually meet on the site of the property under discussion at 4pm and then meet up again at 6pm at the council offices to discuss the application. We usually finish around 8.30pm. Luckily sandwiches are provided. As a councillor, I have to
T
ow did Vivienne get into politics? “My husband Chris dropped me in it! He was running our ‘Greenleaves’ greengrocery business in Bohemia Road, at the time, 1998, and the customers had been moaning at him to become a councillor. He didn’t want to be one, but he and Pam Brown, of the Liberal Democrats thought I should become a councillor and ganged up on me. They persuaded me to stand against Keith Wood (Labour) and Eve Martin (Conservative) for Gensing ward and I won! In 2002, I was knocked out by Andrew Cartwright (Labour), but in 2004, I managed to knock out Ron Rushbrook. I’m now the LibDem councillor for Gensing ward

The smile’s the same: (clockwise) Vivienne, 18, as the Carnival Queen’s assistant, a girl of 19, a woman of 20 and today. hat does she like most about the job? “I love attending the civic events: fireworks nights, remembrance services, awards ceremonies and so on. I like to see ordinary people being recognised for giving up their time and their lives to help others.” What does she think about Hastings? “So many people are negative about Hastings, but we’ve got lovely parks, the seaside, good amenities, theatres, the picturesque old town, country parks, good pubs, good schools and nurseries, plus we’re only two hours from London and an hour and a half from Gatwick. The Hastings Tapestry is stored in London - I think it should be on display in Hastings.”

ust how demanding is the job of councillor? “I get up early because I have to go off to work at Torfield’s Nurture Centre, at Elphinstone School. It is a special needs school for 5 to 11 year olds and I’ve been a full-time teaching assistant there for about eighteen months.

attend full council meetings every six weeks. These start at 6pm and finish around 8pm but sometimes they can go on till 11pm. I also have to attend HBC Cabinet meetings once a month, as the Lib-Dem spokesman for Housing and Communities. These also start at six and go on to about 8pm. Then there are the fortnightly Lib-Dem Group meetings when we discuss what we will say at the next full council or cabinet meeting. These last from 4.30pm to 6pm. Then there are other Lib-Dem meetings I must attend: every six weeks there’s a branch meeting for Gensing and St Leonards, and every four weeks there’s an executive meeting for the whole of Hastings and Rye.”
Forum and I attend meetings of the Bohemia Area Association. I also have my Gensing ward surgeries once a month at the Lib-Dem centre in London Rd. People often ring me at home or send me e-mails about problems they want help with.” hat about Vivienne the person - what’s her musical taste for instance? “This runs to light classical. I also like the local group Keane. I went to see Will Young at Brighton. I like musicals: I love Guys and Dolls. I was brought up watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. I used to be one of the Hastleons, the local acting and singing group, although I can’t act or sing! But I can dance. I still do choreography for the Fairlight Village Pantomime Group. This year, we’re doing Cinderella, or rather next year, as it won’t be on till January.” How does she keep up with the news? “I don’t read daily papers, but I always read the Hastings Observer and the Sunday Times, which is easy to read. I actually don’t like the ‘Hastings Observer’, there only seems to be bad news in it. Sometimes I read the Mail on Sunday, and sometimes my son’s Independent. I’m a doing person rather than a reading person.” What’s her taste in TV and films? “I do watch Neighbours, because it’s on when I can watch it. I’m not obsessed with it, and don’t become frantic if I miss an episode. I like dramas and wild life programmes. As I have to be up early in the morning, it means I’m no night owl. I’m usually in bed by 10pm, which means I often only see half a programme. I like the cinema: films I’ve seen recently include Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. I shan’t be going to see ‘Borat’ - I really hate that kind of mickey taking.” Does Vivienne get time for hobbies? “I love gardening, cooking, my three grand-children, (aged 3, 2 and 1) and swimming. My garden’s quite small but I manage to grow some raspberries and strawberries. I love swimming. I just swim up and down, at Summerfields to keep fit. Just recently I’ve started watching football at Harrow Lane.” She likes going out walking with her children and grandchildren.
W
ny plans for the future? “I haven’t got a future at the moment. I don’t know if I’ll stay in politics at the end of my term s that the lot? “Well, no, in a per- as councillor.” Has she any secret sonal capacity, I’m also on other ambitions? “If I were ever asked to committees: the Horntye Park be mayor, I’d find it very hard to say Management Committee, the YMCA ‘No’. I used to enjoy serving people Committee, and the Hastings in my husband’s fruit and veg shop Community Housing Association, and now I like to say I’m serving and as a councillor, I’m on the people as a councillor.” Gensing & Central St Leonards [Interview by John Humphries, Oct ‘06.]

Anthony tries new furniture Anthony’s Furniture Shop in London Road is trying something different: new furniture. “I can sell it cheaper than the second hand variety.” says Anthony. “For example, a chest of six drawers is just £55 (pictured) and a matching wardrobe, £65.” Anthony has just started this new line and buys the items as flat packs. “I’m shifting the items as fast as I can assemble them,” he added. Which country do they come from? “I don’t know,” said Anthony, and much scouring of the packing and parts lists failed to throw any light on the origin of the ‘Blue Box Home Living Quattro Collection’.

SUSSEX DAY. A notification from the Association of British Counties says “After much consultation, Sussex Day has been fixed as the 16th June, feast day of St Richard, thirteenth century Bishop of Chichester and patron saint of Sussex. Moves are now afoot to create events which will mark the day as a special celebration for all South Saxons.” Did you know that, providing only that you use a postcode, it’s perfectly acceptable by Royal Mail to use ‘Sussex’ as the name of our county, rather than ‘East Sussex’? ‘East Sussex’ was created purely for administrative purposes and does not have to be used in correspondence. Further info, including a map of the UK showing all the historic counties is available: www.abcounties.co.uk HASTINGS CYCLES. The building housing Hastings Cycles at the corner of Newgate and Bohemia Roads, has been sold - subject to exchange of contracts, reports cycle shop owner Nick Alff. He says he hopes to stay on for at least another year, possibly longer, before the new owner, Mr Conway, who intends to sell televisions and carry out repairs, takes over the retail premises. “If I have to leave after a year, I’ll probably operate the business from home and online,” said Nick. “Mr Conway offered me a seven-year or a oneyear lease. I decided to go for the one-year option. I think I’ll be able to stay on after that if I want.” NO FIREWORKS? Why didn’t Wood’s Newsagents stock any fireworks this year? “I wasn’t prepared to pay the £50 demanded by the insurance company.” said owner Dorothy. “You have to buy a whole year’s cover just for the few weeks leading up to Nov 5th. It isn’t worth it. I didn’t stock any last year either for the same reason.”
The question this week is ‘Who painted the picture above and what is its connexion with Bohemia?’ Please ensure entries reach Bohemia Village Voice at 79, Bohemia Road by Tuesday 28th November. The first correct solution opened on that day wins a £10 prize, kindly donated by Empress Art of Tower Road. Answer to puzzle 41
The question posed in the last issue was ‘What is the connexion between a) Germany’s Adolf Hitler and b) the small apron in front of Appliance Master, in Bohemia Road, used for displaying new and reconditioned washing machines?’ The answer is that Mr Hitler kindly demolished the front of this shop during World War II. The original frontage was in line with the other shops in the block, but when it was rebuilt, it was decided to leave the space for display. No correct solutions were received, so the prize will be carried forward to this week.
