Grand
Achievement at The Sussex Business Awards 2012
There was success at the Sussex Business Awards 2012 in December for The Grand, as they were the proud recipients of the award for ‘The Best Leisure and Tourism Business’, at the ceremony held at the South Lodge Hotel. This fantastic achievement in this category is great testament to the quality of service offering that The Grand continues to provide in a very competitive leisure market place. General Manager Andrew Mosley gave praise to the staff at The Grand for their hard work and commitment: “This award is certainly a reflection of the teams continual commitment towards providing exceptional service and an outstanding leisure product. 2013 is such a significant year for the hotel, with the completion of the £5 million pound refurbishment programme. I am confident that the exciting new features such as the new seafood restaurant (GB1) and well-being spa will be greatly received by our leisure guests, and will aid in providing the ultimate luxury hotel experience for all”.

A message from the Editor. . . Welcome to the new look WHM magazine, which we think is more reflective of the wide diverse readership that we get both online and with our free magazine. Alongside this new look magazine we have also re-launched the website to be far more easier to use and more interactive. As always, we welcome your views so please get in touch with us either through the site, via Twitter, on our new Facebook page or by good old fashioned “snail mail”. We would like to welcome our new staff, especially Emma the Magazine manager and Matt the Creative Director. We are also pleased to have retained many of the previous contributors including Mike Mendoza. But this is more than just a local magazine. This is a vehicle that supports the local community and economy. We work in partnership with the “not for profit” training company ProActive Training & Skills Services, who provide a range of courses included accredited training across the UK. With us they work with local unemployed people and budding creative entrepreneurs to train them in journalism, photography and media etc, and gain their real life work experience on the magazine. This model has proved highly effective with other magazines that we are involved with. So in essence we are training up the creative media workforce of tomorrow. You can find out more about the great work ProActive does, as well as the many different ways to contact and interact with the magazine later on. Finally, we look forward to growing the magazine to cover all of the Sussex Coast and meeting the needs of you, our readers.

An interview with ProActive Training & Skills Services
How does a Business
find the right employees
ProActive (as we are more fondly known) is more than just a training company. It is a family of experts who have come together to provide a much needed, highly professional service that is tailored for the needs of both the learner and the employer. ProActive is proud to work with What’s Happening magazine, Jobcentre Plus and our many partners, to provide real opportunity to local people who want to have the skills necessary to work in the creative media and to get real life experience of working on a high quality, well read and established magazine. This provides the necessary platform to build up a portfolio and showcase the abilities of our individual learners. It is by meeting the aspirations of our learners, and identifying the needs of the local labour market, that we are able to offer sustainable solutions to employers. As the UK government tells us young people with low or no qualifications make up 39% of all young people unemployed and not in education, and 47% of those inactive and outside learning, despite only accounting for a quarter of the youth population. People with higher qualifications are more likely to be employed, and earn more, than those with lower qualifications. For these reasons, active labour market policies for young people have tended to focus on training (often alongside employment subsidies, work experience and support with looking for work). At ProActive we work diligently with our clients to make that training effective. To make our training effective we tailor all our services, whether it is doing a 6 week intensive course in broadcast media or a 2 year apprenticeship. We have forged effective partnerships with government departments, colleges and employers that allow us to offer a complete solution. We source the learners, write the lesson plans, provide the training, liaise with employers to ensure the right level and quality of training is provided, as well as incorporating the right level Page 6 | What’s Happening Magazine | www.whmuk.com
of work experience or placement to each course to ensure that we meet the high standards expected by our learners, employers and government departments such as BIS who monitor such programs ProActive is currently specialising in creative industries, hospitality and engineering training, however the company is set up to adapt to the ever changing labour market and will offer other areas as the need arises with the same level of professionalism we are known for. It is our mission to train up the workforce of tomorrow, and provide every opportunity for a sustainable outcome. We offer a range of different training options whether it be a 5 day basic training course in the classroom, a 6 week programme with classroom training and on the job real life work experience, through to 2 year apprenticeships. We currently cover Sussex, London and the Solent area but will be expanding into Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh throughout 2013. We already have a number of European partners that we work with as well. To provide the best services, we also have an in-house bid writing department to make sure that we can continue to provide high quality service and opportunities across a number of locations in the UK and Europe. As part of our quality assurance, we do not cut corners, and therefore it is important to put in all the costs to run a professional programme. We employ only professional bid writers and between them they have secured more than £40 million over the last 10 years and have a first time 95% bid acceptance rate. If you are an employer and would like to know how you can take advantage of the varied work training programs now available, along with their funding facilities, you can find out more by going to the ProActive website at www. ProactiveTSS.org or call for a consultation on 01273 648905. Editors note: What’s Happening Magazine would like to thank ProActive for their support and work in providing, at no cost to the magazine, enthusiastic creative media trainees.

Three Places you should visit! By Sarah Tucker
As the world was due to end twice in December, 12/12/12 and 21/12/12 – my son preferring the latter as it was a day after his birthday, it made me think about the most inspiring places I’ve visited and those I still wished to vist. Some are for sharing, others best visited by oneself. They are journeys rather than places per se, because I don’t like to sit still and they resonated with me as much because of when I went as where I went.
“Sometimes the simplest and shortest of journeys gives the most memorable of experiences.” In this edition I am going to cover 3 of my top journeys and look forward to sharing other locations in future editions.
TIGERS IN THE WILD - RAJHASTAN Tigers in the wild won’t be there in five years time. I should imagine they will disappear in the wild before Venice does such is the greed and corruption surrounding these precious powerful potent animals. I took my son to seek them out two years ago and was left both angry and humbled by the pointlessness of their demise and their silent and powerful magnificence. I wanted him to experience the beauty of animals in the wild, so much more than those domesticated behind bars. And that merely by observing them we destroy what we admire. I am no romantic about animals but I defy anyone to look into the eyes of a tiger in the wild and not be haunted by their own mortality. I returned not wanting to write about the trip but it’s ironically the tourists that keep these animals alive a little longer. Tour operator www.w&otravel.com GRAND CANYON AND THE CALIFORNIA CIRCLE If the Yukon is the place to realise how wonderful life is, the Canyon is the place to make you realise both how important and small you are at the same time. I did the Canyon last year when the Olympics was on. I thought I had made a mistake in going overseas then, until I hit the Canyon and knew why Thelma and Louise wanted to drive off over the cliff. If ever there was a place to end it all, that is it. I am told it was created by vast rivers. My personal belief it’s aliens. I have never seen anything that incredible in all my travels. Not the Northern Lights, not the turrets and spires of St Petersburg, the Vatican or any decorated manmade city. It’s God’s church and he does it better than we do. In fact taking the Canyon in on the route we did, starting at San Fran, Yosemite, Canyon, Death Valley, Vegas, Joshua Tree is a good way to see life’s rich tapestry in all it’s striking forms. Not so much a rich tapestry, more a visceral Damien Hurst. Tour operator www.airnz.co.uk www.visitusa.com GALAPAGOS AND ECUADOR This is tick box travel but unlike most of the other must sees that are celebrated as such, it’s worth it. Ecuador is treated as the gateway to the Galapagos. It is nothing of the sort. It has everything from volcanoes to culture, to the Amazon to a long languid coastline. It has the best chocolate in the world. It also happens to have Darwin’s Island straight out of Ray Harryhausen with giant tortoise and iguanas and seals that play chicken with you if you dare to dip into the water.

Fiat Panda 4x4 If you’re expecting to read about a car which is normally the reserve of lottery winners and premiership footballers, then I should apologise now, because this month’s missive is all about the fairly inexpensive and diminutive Panda 4x4. What’s more, for the price it costs new, it is probably the most capable and fun car you’re liable to find this side of £15k too. Now, normally, I can’t get too excited about a Fiat. I’m not even a great fan of the Fiat 500 – even though it’s been a phenomenal success and will be seen in years to come as the car which saved Fiat from going the same as way Saab and MG Rover - it still remains in my mind as nothing much more than an overpriced Panda in a retro suit. Anyway, back to the task in hand and my findings on the new Panda 4x4. To begin with it, it doesn’t look to dissimilar to the standard Panda on which it has been based on. The bodywork has been beefed-up a little, not too much; just the odd bit of plastic cladding added to protect the paintwork from any stray stones and the suspension has been raised a touch for better ground clearance. It’s not one of those in-yaface off-roaders, simply a small car with off-roading abilty. And this is the real joy of this car; it will do practically all the things you’d expect from a big off-roader, but for a lot less money. Obviously you can’t expect it seat four people in spacious luxury, but it is still surprisingly roomy inside. What’s more, for a Fiat, it seems to have built with the intention that it’s going to stand-up to the pounding it has been designed to take. The four-wheel drive system is permanently engaged which doesn’t exactly help fuel consumption figures but with a lighter right foot it’s still possible to squeeze fifty-odd miles out of a gallon fuel from the 0.9-litre TwinAir. However, this 2-cylinder petrol engine isn’t really the one to opt for if you are going to take this Panda off for an adventure. No, if you’ve got sand dunes or glaciers in your sights, then spend the extra £1000 and choose the £14,950 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel engine. On paper, its performance figures are marginally less than the 0.9-litre, but the diesel is much more suited and a lot more competent at powering all four of the wheels. I was genuinely in awe of what this little car can do off road. It doesn’t scramble about trying to find grip, it just does it. I’ve driven 4x4s which cost three times as much money and they haven’t been this able. That’s the good news. Page 14 | What’s Happening Magazine | www.whmuk.com
By Daniel Cobbs.
Quick Facts
Driven: Fiat Panda 4x4 1.3-litre MultiJet Engine: 1248cc Performance: 75bhp@4000rpm Torque: 140lbft@1500rpm Transmission: 5-speed manual Fuel consumption: 60.1mpg (combined) CO2 Emissions: 125g/km Price: £14,950
The bad news is that the raised body does skew its handling characteristics on normal road conditions. Not too much, you
understand, but enough for it to be noticeable, especially if you’re a going around a corner with a touch too much speed. But are you really going to drive it on the limit? I doubt it. It’ll take a month of Sundays to reach 62mph from a standing start and it only has a published top speed of 99mph (and as we all know there’s a heck of a lot of difference between what achievable during test conditions and what happens in the real world). Putting performance figures to one side, this Panda still has much to offer. In one instance it’s a small and practical city car, and then in other its transforms itself to a heroic off-roader. Ask yourself this, would you want any more from a small and inexpensive car? I rest my case…… www.whmuk.com | What’s Happening Magazine | Page 15

Hats for this winter
Whether you are looking for the perfect accessory to go with your favourite outfit or looking for a hat to help keep you warm during the winter months, there are several different hats from which to choose. Make sure that you do try few hats before you buy one. It is important to be the right fit. Not too small or too big. If you are not sure, don't rush and take your time to choose the right one. Don't be pressured to buy it by the sales person. Trust your own instinct and if needed take some photos too, so you can have a look later and compare them. Look at your wardrobe and see with what kind of items you will be wearing your hat. I would always go for the bright colour, during the winter times and add a nice woollen bright scarf too. Or you can always go for a solid black hat to stick with a classic look or one with special decorative touches such as flowers or embellishments to make a statement. Have that trendy Parisian look right at home with your own special hat. Look for a hat which will stay securely on your head even during the windiest days. Always be a fashion icon with your choice of hats.
“Pick a hat that has a unique style and it becomes you.” If you need any help you can contact me at my website: www.personal-style.co.uk

Back in May you may remember that What’s Happening covered the Grand Final of Brighton’s next hot model. The competition was judged by BNHM founder Fatosh Kalan, model Sophie Anderton, actor Winston Ellis, model-scout John Bruce, Electric Hairdressings’ Mark Wooley and style guru Igor Srzic-Cartledge and after much deliberation, Nathalie Marsollier and Ryan Ball were chosen as the winners. As their prize, Nathalie and Ryan were whisked away on an expenses paid trip to Dubai and relaxed at the five star Bab al Shams desert resort and spa – in preparation for their photo-shoot. And here are the pictures! Our Hot Models are togged out in the best of Brighton style – Ryan’s waistcoat, shirt and tie are from Dandylion Style as is Nathalie’s dog tooth “Jelena” dress; and her other gorgeous dresses in purple and in black are both from Get Waisted. After the shoot, our glamorous winners enjoyed the pool, camel riding, falconry and archery. It will be a tough challenge to match that prize, but mojoportfolios are already discussing with their sponsor what to do for the 2013 winners.

Spring Make-up Collection: Dior Cherie Bow Alice Ridgeway
Dior has excelled itself in the new unashamedly girly spring make-up collection: Cherie Bow. This limited collection is strikingly pink in hue, however surprisingly wearable; Dior makes pink accessible to those who perhaps shy away from colour and yet quenches the need of those who crave it. The iconic Dior five colour palettes amongst the collection will satisfy spring-time floral yearnings with soft sparkly pinks that can be as subtle or as bold as you dare. The buildable eye-shadows allow for a light shimmer of colour suitable for day-time or can be applied heavier and blended to create a dramatic yet feminine smoky eye look which suits all colouring.
The collection also includes three shades of Le Vernis nail colour in Tutu, Rosy Bow and Gris Trianon, which echo the palettes above and are a fresh welcomed addition to the current more basic nail varnish collection that Dior offers. Furthermore Dior has expanded their collection of ‘glow’ products (in addition to the Rosy Glow blush and Lip Glow Balm which are part of the ‘backstage’ range) to include a Lip-gloss and Nail Glow Polish. These products are both designed to enhance your natural lips a nails with a distinct essence of rosy pink, which is echoed in the entire Cherie Bow Collection.

Nothing to wear? Every girl is the same. A wardrobe so full the doors don’t close no matter how hard you try. You haven’t got that perfect dress for that party tomorrow night and with ‘Valentine’s Day’ just around the corner, this panic has already set in. So to all you boyfriends and husbands out there, where can you go to get that perfect dress for your lady and to reduce the chances of you getting a migraine? None other than ‘Walk in Wardrobe’ in Hove. Whatever the occasion, ‘Walk in Wardrobe’ have dresses you can hire for that one off event or to buy so you have that special dress forever.
All the dates of when the dress is hired to when the function is taking place are all recorded so that drama will never happen. For those of you who don’t know, I take part in various beauty pageants the most recent being the ‘Face of Europe’ last year where I currently hold the title of the ‘Face of Brighton 2012’ so I am constantly running to Katie for dresses to go with my sash and crown for certain events around town. The most recent event was the ‘Dress for Success’ awards held at the Brighton Dome last week, where ‘Walk in Wardrobe’ were in the running for the ‘Best dressed window award 2012.’ The shop received an honorable mention in the category for ‘Best theatrical staging’ with the Christmas window display I took part in on Christmas Eve where I had to be a mannequin and stand in the shop window wearing a wedding dress being part of the ‘Winter Wonderland’ display.
Quoted in the national press (Sunday Express) as the “Swankiest boutique in Brighton” the company was established in 1997 by the wonderful Katie Tanswell and went on to become the award winning boutique for ‘Best Place to Shop in Sussex’ for 2 years running. Well known for special occasion dresses from proms to pageants to weddings to any up and coming special event including bridal dresses.
Sadly we didn’t win, I still think we were the best dressed there in my opinion with Katie putting me in a dress covered in sequins and crystals.
The dresses Katie has in the shop have become very popular in the world of celebrity with the likes of Cheryl Cole, Katie Price, Tulisa and ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ girls all showing off the dresses in the glossy magazines.
So in conclusion, to save yourself and your man a lot of aggravation, get down to ‘Walk in Wardrobe’ as soon as you can to bag yourself that perfect dress for ‘Valentine’s Day’.
Now, the last drama a girl needs is the ‘oh god we are both wearing the same dress’ at a function but ‘Walk in Wardrobe’s dress hire policy is not to allow the identical dress to be duplicated at your function.
Happy Shopping!

The Federation of Small Business, Shoreham Air Show
Mike Holland On his soapbox... Oh boy, have I got some good news! I can't wait to let the council and West Pier (aka i360) Trust know as they will be thrilled. Guess what? We don't need to give David Marks £17 million to build a tower! We can get our own for less than half that figure. Yep great news eh? Even better we can wait a few months and see what the finished product is like, as one is being constructed in Texas USA at a cost of £7 million.
We know that grants are available as Hastings has just been awarded a grant for reconstructing their pier. That means we can have our pier back as well as a tower. We know the total cost of constructing a pier because I went through the exercise i.e. total including architects fees £25 million. Anyway I will report further next month and try to relay to you the excited reaction of our erstwhile councillors. Glynn Jones of the West Pier Trust will be beside himself as will the Chief exec Rachel Clark. No doubt they will call for a special meeting to let their members know. I will also try to get a comment from David Marks who will no doubt be popping a cork when he finds out he has some leisure time on his hands. I will keep you posted.
It’s true and the information is all there on your computer. Just google the Texas Centennial Tower and you will see it’s almost the same height too i.e. a mere 64 feet difference. I am certain that Marks Barfield will be over the moon as of course they don't now need to reinvent the wheel. Oh and as a plus the Texas tower has a rotating viewing ring, whilst ours is static. Yes result! And the parts are made in Germany as well which is of course much nearer for us than the USA. Hey I bet there are some savings there too. Wait a minute "of course" light bulb moment in progress here so bear with me. I have just worked it out. We were going to give Marks Barfield £17 million but now only need to spend £7 million on a tower. Wow we have £10 million left. My goodness I am beside myself with excitement because that means we could then put £10 million towards reconstructing the west pier.
Whilst we are on the subject of the seafront, I am delighted to see that there are some sensible proposals coming in for the King Alfred site at long last. Most of us will remember that silly thing that was proposed there a few years ago which of course was never going to happen.
Page 24 | What’s Happening Magazine | www.whmuk.com
However foremost in my mind of the current proposals is a scheme they are calling "The Lyrics". It is a proposal put together by the Starr Trust who has funded around 70 projects in 19 countries in the past four years. They also run the CHOCS project here in the UK. CHOCS's stands for "Children Making Other Children Smile" and operates in several schools across the city. I spoke to the enigmatic Rob Starr recently who explained their vision. It seems the idea for The Lyrics began well over a decade ago long before they had even thought about the King Alfred site. The idea which Rob says is “a successful model that has been used for centuries is simply to combine Culture, Art, Sport and Community together.” Something our city can be truly proud of exclaims Rob, who obviously thrives on a challenge. This is a man who in case anyone doubts his sporting credentials swims in the sea 365 days a year. He gleefully tells me he swam the channel earlier in the year and apparently has several pending sporting challenges lined up.
Texas Tower | Brighton i360 | Edward Starr Trust | British Engineerium Whilst happy to listen to the needs of the city from local residents the Starr Trust are broadly proposing that some of the on-site activities would be Swimming, Gym, Dance, Film, Performance, Rehearsal, Education, Art, Dining, Music, Relaxation and on goes the list. Rob explains that currently only a fraction of the 4.3 acre site is used for community use and that what is available is not very desirable. Numerous attempts to provide new facilities at the King Alfred have failed year after year. It could be said that speaking to the people of the city would have been a more sensible approach rather than simply ignoring them he adds. It is a fact Rob continues that sport, art and music are ways to bring community together. Our city is a leader when it comes to tolerance and understanding. Where else should community and togetherness speak more loudly than in our city. Yet we feel the city lacks a landmark for all that is great about
Brighton and Hove. The Lyrics will be our cities front room! A place where people of all ages can use to unwind, have a swim, use the gym, see a show, take part in a show, be artistic, listen to music, learn a craft, have a meal, read a newspaper and relax. Rob Starr can talk about the Lyrics endlessly, barely stopping to draw breath. There is no doubt in my mind that he is totally sincere and believes his scheme is deliverable. Having
talked to him there is little doubt in my mind either and I just hope that the local politics of that site doesn't mean that like so many others this scheme flounders. There is no doubt that something needs doing with the site. Whatever happens, any developer
Rob Starr
will have to provide an element of housing because this is what our council wants and that is what will help drive it. However, that aside, if The Starr Trust are encouraged I feel sure they can deliver their vision. My goodness if Jason Kitkat was excited about the possibility of revamping the Volks Railway Station he must be feeling cock a hoop with this proposal. Good luck to The Starr Trust with their scheme, you still won't get me on one of your early morning swims though Rob. I will wait till the new pool is completed at The Lyrics. As usual it’s been a busy month of meetings and events but it’s great to see the ball rolling and really picking up speed with all my plans for the British Engineerium. I’m aiming to keep the whole process eco-friendly and community focused so the support
I’ve had from a number of local companies and initiatives is exciting. It will be in these partnerships that the British Engineerium will not only come to life but interact directly with Brighton, Hove and the surrounding areas. We’ve already had a lot of interest from the public signing up on the website and we’ve hardly even begun! This is what has been so brilliant about having so many new faces to show around. Seeing others genuine enthusiasm really reinforces my own passion for the place and reminds me what a fantastic attraction the British Engineerium is set to become. It is so infuriating when I hear or read criticism that nothing is being done on site. My hatred of the banks means the project is entirely self-funded
and, whilst progress is admittedly slower then I’d like, this does mean that the final result won’t be dictated by money-grabbing bankers but stay true to its priceless legacy. Hove deserves to have its name put firmly on the map and the Engineerium will do just that. In fact, I am pretty confident it will eventually be one of Sussex’s top landmark attractions.

Work your way to fitness sTEPS TOWARDS A NEW YOU
Impulse Leisure, your local community leisure centres, offers you some great tips to help you on your journey to fitness.
1.Prepare for the gym
Wear suitable clothes you are comfortable in, a T-shirt or vest, jogging bottoms or shorts and trainers, preferably running or cross training shoes as these provide good quality support. Bring a towel to each work-out and a water bottle that can be re-filled to keep you hydrated. If you eat before the gym, have a light snack an hour prior. Any large meal should be eaten 3+ hours before.
2. Personalised workout
In your induction your trainer will discuss your goals; from these they will devise your personalised programme. Goals can be anything from losing a few dress sizes or lbs to a 5km run. Your goal needs to be S.M.A.R.T: - Specific – a goal of getting fit isn’t specific enough. Losing a stone or being able to run for 30 minutes is. - Measurable – A goal that isn’t measurable provides no way of keeping track of how well you are doing. - Achievable – If a goal is set too high the chance of failure is higher, so start off small. - Realistic – Don’t set a goal of losing a stone in 4 weeks! A healthy and realistic guide would be 1-2 lbs a week. - Time framed – Have a date you want to achieve it by.
3.Away from the gym
Taking care of what you eat and drink will enable you to not only achieve your goals quicker but become healthier and improve your lifestyle.
4. You are not alone
Why not train with a friend? Impulse Leisure offer free classes throughout the month so you can both try before you buy! Personal Training is the fastest way to achieve results; the trainer will push you to your limits and beyond! Impulse Leisure work with Advance Personal Training, who, will help you to achieve those results. For more information please speak to an Advance Personal Trainer today (01323) 839023.
5. Reward yourself
Do still allow yourself the odd glass of wine or treat, going completely cold turkey will not always work. Set yourself small goals and when you achieve them reward yourself with a small treat.
Page 26 | What’s Happening Magazine | www.whmuk.com
6. Step away from the scales!
Don’t be tempted to keep weighing yourself daily. You may lose some weight at the beginning but then plateau off. With regular exercise your body will be improving, often it’s your heart and lungs that will benefit along with increased lean muscle mass %, with a balanced diet and correct exercise you should see the pounds start to drop off! If you really want to weigh yourself do it once a week at the same time of day. You should start to feel more energised and alert straight away, but bear in mind it usually takes around 6 weeks to see physical changes from any exercise programme.
7. Continuing the success
Around the 6 week mark, Impulse Leisure recommends that you change your training programme. If you do not feel you are reaching your goals, a programme review is the best way forward. Do this every 6 weeks to ensure that you benefit from your programme. Our data shows that the majority of members who rarely get their programmes updated do not reach their goals and in turn end up leaving having not achieved what they set out to. Stick to the 6 week rule! Why not take advantage of the latest Impulse Leisure membership offer and ‘Work Your Way to Fitness’. As a registered charity Impulse Leisure can help your all round feel good factor! There is NO JOINING FEE and No Upfront Fee and a free Wellness Key and Free Induction!

TRIBUTES FLOW IN FOR
DON BEAN
MBE
ROYAL AIR FORCES ASSOCIATION (RAFA) SHOREHAM AIRSHOW ORGANISER It is with deep regret that the organisers of the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) Shoreham Airshow announce the passing of its organiser Don Bean MBE following a recent illness at the age of 80.
In the year 2000 Don was awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for his tireless work for the Association. He founded the Shoreham Airshow 23 years ago following a small fete that was held to the East of the Airfield. The rest is history with donations made to RAFA of over £1.7 million. Don would have been the first to admit that it was a team effort. A firm handshake followed by a pat on the back was his way of saying thank you sometimes followed by a pint in the Airport Terminal Bar. Don was a modest man who worked hard to make the airshow what it is now – one of the best in the UK and respected by the aviation industry. His efforts did not stop there. He in 1986 provided the Standard for Shoreham Branch RAFA. Later he became a Founder Member of the Friends of Sussex Down which was the RAFA residential home at Storrington in West Sussex. Several concerts were organised by Don to raise funds for Sussex Down with guests including the late Max Bygraves and the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. Dame Vera Lynn became a close friend supporting his efforts on many occasions. Don had no fear when it came to talking to a member of the Royal Family or a senior officer at MOD. The word ‘No’ did not exist when it came to getting a specific aircraft to Shoreham. He had a list of private phone numbers that got him to the highest places as well as some of the aircrew dispatch desks. Don served his National Service in the RAF from 1950 – 1953 working mainly in Air Traffic. Following this he became an apprentice Glazier specializing in leaded light. He then founded Lancing Glassworks which he ran until his retirement. He was a member of Old Steine Masonic Lodge, where his
charitable interests developed, and was an ardent Brighton and Hove Albion supporter. He was dedicated to his wife Anne who supported him through rough and smooth. The worries regarding the Airshow were tenfold and many restless and late nights were spent at their home sharing their concerns. The logistics involved were vast when it came to costings and planning the flying schedules. The worries prior to the airshow turned to smiles once it was over. Most airshows have a fully paid staff and are there to make a profit. Don made sure his profits went to RAFA. The highest amount given in one year was just over £165,000 – an achievement no other airshow world wide has done for this charity. In 2012 it cost just over £340,000 to run the airshow! The first show made £1,800 – what an achievement! ‘True Grit and Determination’ made Don the man he was. He was respected by those that knew him. The word ‘Thank You’ was at the top of his list. He gave help to others when needed and was a loyal ‘friend’ to many. The Airshow will carry on and it will be a fitting tribute to Don as well as the late Peter Eager who passed away earlier this year. Acting Airshow Organiser Derek Harber said, “It is not easy to put into words how we feel about this sad loss other than to say; he will be remembered with the respect he truly deserved. The office at Shoreham Airport will not be the same without his smiling face and his laughter. He was a man dedicated to his love of aviation which grew from humble beginnings. Shoreham Airport is steeped in history and Don’s memory will be linked to this for others in the future to see.” Don leaves his wife Anne, 2 daughters, a step son and step daughter, 10 grandchildren and one great granddaughter. He will be sadly missed.

The worries, wealth and goals of UK adults Britain’s “squeezed middle ages” need an additional 32 per cent of their income in order to feel financially secure as the economic climate continues to take its toll. Those aged between 35 and 44 years say they need an extra £612 a month. They are also the group most worried (32 per cent) about affording the cost of main household bills, like heating, water and council tax, followed by 28 per cent of those aged 45-54. Feeling the most financial strain The results come from the second Aviva Times of our Lives Report [1], published on 25 October, which details the worries, wealth and goals of UK adults. It reveals that while the “squeezed middle ages” (35-54) are feeling the most financial strain, everyone is feeling the pinch - only the over 65s don’t require a significant monthly increase in income – just £23 a month. Difficult economic climate Overall the income gap across all ages is £466 a month, which is a rise of 13 per cent (£55) from the £411 revealed in Aviva’s first report in spring this year. This shows the extent to which people are feeling financially squeezed as they struggle to cope with inflation and the difficult economic climate. As well as affording the main household bills, costs of everyday items like food and clothing (22 per cent of 35-44 year olds) and unexpected costs like boiler repairs and car breakdowns (20 per cent) are also major worries for the middle age groups. Longer term financial stability Simon Warsop, business development director at Aviva, comments: “In the past six months Britain’s “squeezed middle ages” – have become ever more pressured and it is interesting to note that the immediate high costs of living like paying for heating and council tax bills are a greater worry than longer term financial stability like savings and pension provision. “For the middle age group of 35 to 44 years responsibilities are mounting, they are more likely to have the additional costs of running their own home and bringing up a young family, resulting in a need for the most additional income, over £600 a month extra, to feel financially secure.” Health, wealth and family As people’s lives progress, their worries change as they get older. Health is an area of concern throughout life but it significantly rises through the ages. 20 per cent of 18-24 year olds are worried about their health, rising steadily to 50 per cent of over 65s. And when it comes to goals in life, there are certain things that are consistent across the age groups. Everyone rates a happy family and personal life as one of their top three goals, with it number one for all those aged over 35. But the younger age groups are showing more determination
than they were six months ago to achieve career goals and start saving regularly – both rank above a happy family life for the 18-24 year olds. The most self-confidence Meanwhile the middle age groups say saving regularly, paying off debts and reducing their mortgage are key parts of their two-year goals. But despite the middle ages being the time of most financial pressure, as in Spring 2012, 35 is still considered the best age to be. It is the time when people feel they will or have had the most self-confidence and happiest personal life. The report also reveals the ideal age to achieve other key life goals: 18 – Get first job 21 – Buy first car 21 – Move out of parents home 21 – Start saving for a pension 25 – Buy first house 27 – Get married or settle with partner 29 – Have first child 39 – Be at peak of career 50 – Pay off mortgage 50 – Have all the children leave home 55 – Become a grandparent 60 – Retirement The key goals in life It’s clear that some of the key goals in life may well be more achievable than others, certainly buying your first home at 25 and paying off the mortgage by 50 could be goals that will become less achievable as the family budget gets even tighter. But there is an emerging trend that shows the younger age groups are now considering financial planning more than they previously were, with over a third (38 per cent) rating saving regularly as one of their top goals. This is clearly a wise move as they enter adulthood with more economic constraints than ever before.

The Federation of Small Business The Brighton & Hove Branch of the FSB would like to offer our congratulations to the new management team of What’s Happening Magazine and wish them every success in their venture.
Energy Supply The FSB is working with local Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas on a bill to support microbusinesses with regard to energy supply rollover contracts. The FSB wants to see an end to these contracts so that there is a fairer energy mark for the smaller business. A survey carried out in 2011 by the FSB found that 1 in 4 businesses had their contract rolled over without their knowledge, a frightening number. Our findings suggest that 82% of businesses would support this bill.
PAYE Schemes Are you an employer and are you ready for RTI? The FSB has found that a substantial number of smaller employers are not, with many not even knowing what it stands for. RTI stands for Real Time Information and it will apply to PAYE schemes for most employers from 6 April 2013, the remainder will operate from October 2013. HMRC will tell you when to start using the scheme. If your payroll is operated by a bureau or your accountant they will take care of the process for you.
Notice Board The next thing we need to consider is the new inner city 20 mph zone. So far it does not appear to us that any consideration has been given to the possible impact upon business. A reduction Brighton & Hove of one third in the Dressed for Success speed limit The awards for Dressed for is bound to Success 2012 took place on have a knock on effect by increasing journey times. The increase will inevitably impact upon costs and further reduce the city’s productivity levels. We are currently examining whether consultation took place with the business community. We were certainly not consulted! However, if you do your own PAYE then you need to set the scheme up online with HMRC as soon as possible and become aware of the changes in reporting that will take place. More information can be obtained from their website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/payerti/.

Sport Football
Brighton & Hove Albion and Sussex FA
Icelandic Under-19 international Emil Asmundssen has joined Albion on a two-and-a-half-year development contract, until 2015. The 18-year-old midfielder joined from national league side Fylkir in his homeland and has already joined up with Simon Rusk’s youth team, hoping to make his debut on Saturday. Asmundssen told seagulls.co.uk, “It means a lot to me to be joining Albion, as it is a big chance at a big club. The atmosphere here is great and the club is really progressing. “Compared to the football in Iceland it is a better level so this is a big step for me and I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Asmundssen has featured six times for Fylkir, and scored one goal, which caught the eye of the club’s recruitment system.
Sussex Football Futures Sussex County FA is delighted to announce its first annual camp for young leaders.

Albion’s academy manager John Morling said of the Seagulls’ latest acquisition, “Emil came via the recruitment department and impressed on trial, he was playing in the Icelandic league which is a good level for someone his age, plus he is representing his country at Under-19s. “He is a midfielder who has lots of energy and we feel he is a player with a real chance of playing in the first team in two or three years.” Head of football operations David Burke believes the recent signings of Vitalijs Maksimenko and Asmundssen are signs of the club’s long-term plan coming together. “It is the recruitment of talent that we can develop for the future, so Emil and Maksi are signs that the recruitment process is happening.” Page 34 | What’s Happening Magazine | www.whmuk.com
The event is being held at the excellent facilities of Shoreham Academy and young people between the ages of 14-19 with an interest in or passion for football are invited to make an application to enrol for this development day.

Barefoot Runner The Life of a
“Doesn’t it hurt?”, “What about stepping on glass? , “Don’t you need arch support/cushioning?” “Are you *&#$%@£ crazy?!”
These are just some of the many questions I have been asked over the last few years regarding my habit of running with no shoes on and even though barefoot/minimal running has become a little more mainstream in the last year or so, people still continue to question my sanity. I first decided to ditch the trainers in 2009. I had just completed the London marathon and was feeling pretty miserable because I had a knee injury. It had almost stopped me running completely so I decided to look for ways to solve the problem. A friend of mine had mentioned barefoot running before, so when I read a bit more about it online I jogged down to Preston Park cycle track, tentatively slipped off my shoes and trotted round the track twice, once on the concrete and once on the grass. It hurt. But it also felt amazingly liberating. I was lighter on my feet, and I felt like I could go on for hours. But the first rule of barefoot club is – Don’t do too much too soon! I didn’t always follow that advice and it would come back to bite me several times but for the most part I was sensible and stuck to a plan of increasing the mileage slowly. Nine months in, I had built myself up to marathon distance and decided to really push myself by doing the Brighton marathon and then London, 7 days apart. I ended up with a teeny tiny blister on the
end of one toe, but that was the extent of the damage to my feet.
*cough*). Then there are shoes like MBTs, which are supposed
Since then, I have run 5 marathons, and countless half marathons, 10ks and 5ks. I also attempted a 30 mile ultra marathon on the South Downs, my only Did Not Finish to date. My feet were fine, but the heat and lack of adequate training stopped me at mile 22. In 2010, I ran a race called Hellrunner. I recommend you Google it because words cannot do it justice, as the name suggests! It was the end of November and very cold, yet there I was at the start, shoeless and shivering, but it was simultaneously the most enjoyable and horrendous race I’ve ever done. So now I’ve been a barefoot runner for almost 4 years and there is no turning back. I coach and advise people who want to make the transition and I wouldn’t put regular
running shoes on again if you paid me. Luckily, there are now plenty of options available for people that don’t want to go fully barefoot or when conditions make barefoot treacherous. Some are brilliant, like Vivobarefoot and Vibram Five Fingers, and some are not so good (*cough* Skeletoes

to recreate the feeling of walking barefoot. There are also some great resources for learning more about barefoot and minimal running. Sites like www.barefootrunning.com, run by the legend that is Barefoot Ken Bob and The Barefoot Runners Society. And 5th May 2013 sees the 3rd annual International Barefoot Running Day. The UK chapter will once again be celebrating by holding a 5k race in Stanmer Park. I have helped out with this event for the last 2 years and will be on hand again. There is also a free 1k fun run for anyone that wants to give it a try. And if you see me out running with no shoes on, say hi, because I’m really not crazy.

Mary How Trust
celebrates its 25th anniversary Join the Silver Jubilee! Local health screening charity celebrates 25 years Popular local charity, the Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention, is celebrating its 25th anniversary and invites you to take part in its Silver Jubilee. Based in Pulborough, the Mary How Trust provides a health screening service to spot the early signs of cancer and other serious illnesses. Thanks to the fundraising support of local people and businesses, the Mary How Trust has been able to transform the lives of people like Mr John Peters from Hurstpierpoint, who received an early diagnosis of colon cancer and prostate cancer as a result of his Mary How Trust screening – even before he had symptoms. He was able to start treatment immediately, before the cancers had time to spread. Mr Peters’ wife, Prue, told the Trust: “The outcome, had we not had a health screening – is unthinkable. We are indebted to the Mary How Trust for alerting us to two lifethreatening illnesses which are now being treated. We cannot recommend this wonderful facility enough.”
To take part in the Mary How Trust’s Silver Jubilee, please contact the Trust at 08452-410956 or www.maryhowtrust. org You will be helping people like Mrs Britten, who was able to have urgent medical treatment following her health screening. She writes, “Without the Mary How Trust, I might not have been around to enjoy my four grandchildren; many, many thanks.” *Some names have been changed About Mary How Mary was born in Victoria, Australia, and emigrated as a young woman to the UK, where she met and married Raymond How. Mary and Raymond had two children, Jeremy and Victoria, and lived in West Chiltington in West Sussex, where they had many friends.
The Mary How Trust is entirely funded by donations from the men and women who come for health screenings, and from donors and fundraisers throughout the local community. Trust Chairman, Christopher Leaver, says, “We’re proud to thank our wonderful supporters in West Sussex and further afield for making our work possible. Their support means we’ve been here to help many people just like Mr Peters. And we look forward to helping many more in the years ahead.” The charity needs your help to continue its life-changing service. They are encouraging local people to get involved and help raise funds in this Jubilee year. Marketing and Fundraising Manager, Roanne MooreLoizides, asks, “Will you be a Jubilee Fundraiser? Will you hold an event in aid of the Mary How Trust? Please join us and help to give your friends and neighbours a healthier future!”
Raymond How described Mary as a “super person, who was so brave in adversity, who gave so much love, warmth and happiness to so many, wherever she set foot and to whomever she befriended.” He said that people from all walks of life were captivated by her Aussie charm.
She explains, “From coffee mornings to quiz nights – every event will make a difference. Please join our Jubilee!”
Mary was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 1984 and despite a brave battle against the disease she died in 1987, at the early age of 46.
Jubilee Fundraisers can be individuals or groups of friends – as well as clubs, schools, and workplaces. Simply tell the Trust about your event and you’ll receive a fundraising pack and step-by-step advice. At the end of the year, there will be a prize for the top Jubilee Fundraisers.
Mary’s son, Jeremy, explains, “on the night she died my mother’s GP and my father founded The Mary How Trust, an organisation they hoped would allow the early detection of malignant and other diseases”.

‘Know the Crown & Anchor in Shoreham?’ ‘That’s a bit upmarket for you, isn’t it?’ ‘I’m a rich man these days, Detective Superintendent. I’ll be here for another thirty minutes.’ Shoreham Harbour was a major port at the western extremity of Brighton. A village that had long since grown into an annexe to the city was spread along it. The Crown & Anchor pub, with its outside terrace overlooking the harbour, had one of Shoreham-by-Sea’s most attractive and best value restaurants.

Travel

Aurora Borealis
Alternative places to travel during the winter months Tucked within the depths of the Arctic Circle, where reindeers famously outnumber people, heading north to Lapland makes for the perfect winter hideaway. After a 2 ½ hour flight from Helsinki just a further short hop north will transport you into this Finnish wonderland. With temperatures typically hovering around - 14 °C only the glow of wooden chalets and fur trees break up Lapland’s endless blankets of snow and unspoilt nothingness. For compulsory fairy-tale kitsch visit Santa Claus at home in the city of Rovaniemi; but further north still is where the true magic falls. Amidst the twilight Kaamos skies and startling whiteness of snow fall sits the family-run holiday village Näverniemen Lomakylä, just 8km from Ivalo Airport. From only €25 a night for a fully equipped log cabin visitors can comfortably enjoy the ultimate Lappish experience. Once settled into your chalet resist the desire to hibernate and appreciate a taste of local Sami cuisine; traditional home-cooked meals available breakfast, lunch and dinner. Embrace the outdoors with husky-sledding, snowmobile excursions, and reindeer safaris or ski straight out from your front door onto the frozen Ivalojoki River where you can try your (albeit shivering) hand at ice-fishing. Later, warm up over a roaring log fire and grill your catch, pass around the Christmas-spiced Glögi and either sink into the sauna or simply relax in the welcoming company of your Lappish hosts. Such long polar nights offer prime opportunity for sky-gazers to glimpse nature’s own stunning phenomenon. The Aurora Borealis (or the Northern Lights) are truly the reverie of any traveler; breath-taking displays of light energy which cling to the North Pole and collide with the upper layers of the atmosphere. With 2013 tipped as a year of ‘Solar Maximum’ (solar activity peaking in its 11 year cycle) there seems no better time to dig out your thermals, book a ticket to Finland, and experience the magic it has to offer.

My Garden
By Pauline Clark - Hedges To Edges
January
For a splash of colour I have an early flowering Camellia “Freedom Bell” with coral red semi double bell shaped flowers. Dogwoods (Cornus) can bring you burgundy’s and yellows to brighten up the garden. I make the most of my Hellebores by cutting back the old leaves to make a show of the flowers. Remember to burn any leaves if there is any sign of disease and add well rotten manure or compost around the base of the plants.
February
Once the snowdrops start to fade, lift and split the bulbs for a bigger display next year. As the pots of bulbs come into flower I place them into bare gaps in the garden so that I can enjoy the display. A must for this time of year is the winter flowering Euphorbia, try “Emmer Green” with its grey cream foliage that turns pinker in the cold.
Warm days are good for clearing weeds and breaking the soil’s surface, check plant supports are in place before they are needed. Snowdrops are now in flower in To encourage a colourful display of the garden with the earlier potted Cornus next year cut back stems to Hyacinths not far behind. If you about 10-15 cm above ground level. have daffs and tulips planted in pots, check these, once they have started to show through the compost you should be safe to remove any mesh used to deter squirrels before the growth is too established.
Now’s the time to make any repairs to fences ready for the spring, Veg plots can be dug over if there is no frost on the ground and sand, compost, manure added to improve the texture. Bush Buddleia will benefit from a hard prune and you can cut back late summer flowering clematis. If you want to rejuvenate old clematis, cut it back to about a foot above the ground. Clear the flower borders and dig out old annuals, perennials can be cut back to ground level. Check out the latest seed catalogues and place orders if too wet to work in garden!
March
Now is the time I split my hellebores and polyanthus ready for next year. I like to move the polys to the back of my borders in pots where they are shaded from the summer heat. Ornamental grasses need to be cut back to make way for new growth. Do the same with any perennials left for their winter colour. Keep dead heading any winter pansies and these will put on a show though out the spring and sometimes into early summer. Dead head the daffs but leave the greenery to die down. Put aside time to spray and feed roses to get them off to a good start; don’t forget to feed them your banana skins. Plant out summer bulbs such as Gladioli, Lily and Anemone in groups and the potatoes and onions for early crops. Start sewing root and leaf vegetables, repeat every couple of weeks for a longer growing season.
There is still plenty of pruning to be done, late flowering shrubs should be cut back and the final prune of wisteria. Don’t forget your gloves or you will get caught by the thorny protrusions on the new growth. At the same time give the roses a hard prune, no garden is complete without roses even if you only have room for a patio rose. Spend cold days in the greenhouse, its time to plant up the dahlia tubers, chit the seed potatoes ready for Easter planting and get the newly delivered seeds started.

Simon Schneider on Antiques In my business there is an old saying “you are only as good as your stock“, well is this really true? A dealer’s stock represents his or hers’ taste and choices. The items on display in an antique shop, antique fair or on a website reflect on the individual dealer’s opinion, presuming that dealer chooses what they buy! I mention this because recently more and more antique dealers can be found moaning about the current state of the market. “Business is dead” is a common sound bite echoing around quiet halls and venues where previously busy antique fairs had taken place.
“Why is this, and is it the beginning of the end for one of the oldest trades in the world?” While it is true auctions seem to get first refusal on most estates nowadays, and there are definitely less antique shops around than there used to be, I would suggest this is just how the trade is adapting to the 21st century and the new technologies available. People’s tastes have always changed and the antique business today is more driven by trends than ever.

www.simonschneiderantiques.co.uk more often than not a deal can be had, so there is still room for a dealer like me. As far as new technologies are concerned, dealers should embrace these with open arms. The antique business and the internet were made for each other, any dealer can have a virtual shop by displaying their goods on their website and have the potential to reach more customers in more places than could ever be achieved in a traditional antique shop. To sum up I would say that of course trade can be difficult, we are living in precarious financial times and that has an impact on all businesses, but the antique business, like others, must be prepared to adapt. If we dealers can, the trade I love will be around for a few more years yet! As I have mentioned both Clarice Cliff and Stewart Devlin I wanted to illustrate two fabulous pieces. Firstly, a pair of silver gilt candlesticks by Stewart Devlin. They were made in London in 1968 and are 7 ½ inches tall, with textured and pierced silver on rosewood bases and are typical to Stewart Devlin’s style.
As younger people enter into the market their ideas of nostalgia, always a huge influence on what people actually buy, are very different to, let’s say, an established, traditional antique dealer. Items from the 1950 and 1960s are becoming more and more wanted and collected and for a dealer who has spent most of their career hunting items from nearly a century earlier than this, it can come as a bit of a culture shock that these relatively recent items have any value. I think it is all about adapting your opinion. If you compare desirable items from the 1950s and 1960s that are being collected now, more than fifty years on since they were made, to something like Clarice cliff, which first began to become commercially viable in the 1970 and 1980s, you can see that we shouldn’t be surprised at this trend. Dating from the 1930s, Clarice Cliff items were a similar age then as perhaps a piece of pre war silver by Stewart Devlin is now.
Secondly a wonderful lotus jug in the Applique Lucerne pattern by Clarice Cliff made in 1930. This Jug sold in 2011 for over £7000.
Although the Victorian furniture that used to sell like hot cakes a decade ago is struggling at present, the market for Scandinavian furniture from the 1950s is booming, again a trend that is being driven by younger people. There is a lot of competition for dealers like myself from the big auction rooms however when you explain the amount of commission that is actually charged to a would be seller www.whmuk.com | What’s Happening Magazine | Page 43

Shadi Farjadnia
Shadi Fardjadnia started painting when she was very young in the mid 1980’s in Iran. A lot of her inspiration came from the natural Persian beauty that surrounded her upbringing. Despite the West’s view of Iran the landscapes and history of the region is second to none. With this as her motivation she went on to art collage and completed her first BA degree in painting in1996 in Tehran.
for a second time and completed her BA degree in Graphic Design at Camberwell University of Art. Since graduating Shadi has been working as a freelance artist. She joined ShedArt which is a dynamic group of contemporary artists working together in a studio in Surrey. As part of this group Shadi exhibited with the group in various venues in the region. She uses oils, acrylics, and mixed media in order to give life, light and colour to paintings.
Shadi has spent a lot of time in the Brighton area as she enjoys the freedom that the sea and city provides in her artistic design. Her father is a former Vice-Admiral of the Iranian navy and thus her love of the sea is something she sees as part of her.

This was the place I found love and peace! “I strongly believe as an artist one should be free to paint and create anything one likes and should not feel controlled by perceived limitations. It sometimes seems to me that those in the ‘art society’ would like to put artists in a specific box so they can better understand them, but this kills the creativity.
“I believe we should be free to experiment with different subjects and materials as best we can, as freedom to explore feeds creativity. All my art are stories in different formats searching for beauty. “My main objective always was and is telling a story and trying
to express myself and my feeling through colours, textures and forms, so each brush stroke, colour and form is part of a story I am trying to tell. The stories are sometimes simply perhaps about love and pleasure, and sometimes about loss and pain. Its what we all go through and feel sometimes in our life. Sometimes happy and sometimes sad....
“If I can make my audience feel what I feel and move them, and perhaps make them think in a different way then the work has achieved its purpose.

Movie Review

‘TO SAVE THE LAW, BREAK IT’
I
nspired by real events, Gangster Squad, which hit British cinemas on 10th January, tells the story of the efforts of a mismatched group of Los Angeles police officers to bring down notorious East Coast gangster Micky Cohen. The squad must use questionable means to save the city, and the mission is complicated by a love triangle between Cohen, played by Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling’s character Sergeant Jerry Wooters, and foxy redhead Grace Faraday, played by the stunning Emma Stone. Set in 1949 amongst the backdrop of a Los Angeles still in the aftermath of the Second World War, the film is beautifully shot, has a fantastic soundtrack, an all-star cast and an entertaining, if extremely clichéd, script to match.
Ryan Gosling was effortlessly cool and witty in the role of Wooters. Although he was type-cast in his familiar part as a brooding, rough around the edges hero with a good heart, this is what Gosling is good at and he certainly delivered. Josh Brolin, playing Sgt. John O’Mara, was strong as the group’s leader, depicting well the difficulties for war heroes adjusting to life in peace time, and the conflict between duty to sate and loyalty to family, yet he was at times a little wooden. Sean Penn undoubtedly stole the show in his portrayal of Cohen, achieving the right balance of sadistic, ruthless Mafioso bravado mixed with paranoia and vulnerability, ending the film pathetic and blood-stained in a standoff with O’Mara. He was bestowed with some of the best lines of the film, such as ‘you’re talking to God, so you might as well swear to me’ and ‘Los Angeles in my destiny’, but they were not wasted on him as Penn delivered them like he was born to play the role.
Emma Stone, to the detriment of the film, was only given a fairly minor role, despite being billed as the film’s leading lady. It was the second partnership between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, who first acted together in Crazy Stupid Love in 2011, where the pair worked comfortably as a convincing couple, so expectations of their romantic storyline were high. Stone’s character, Grace, had a promising start to Gangster Squad in the sizzling scene of her and Jerry’s first introduction, where she oozes sex appeal surrounded by a cloud of jazz music, and shamelessly glamourised cigarette smoking. Yet throughout the duration of the movie her character is barely developed given very little screen time, and the only purpose director Ruben Fleischer seems to want her for is as a bit of sexy arm-candy. The feisty actress is not given room to flourish and I think Fleischer made a mistake in not utilising her talents more. The film has been criticised by some for its mindless violence without any moral critique, and its slogan ‘to save a law, break it, echoing Prince Harry’s recent controversial statement ‘take a life to save a life’ does nothing to refute these claim. However the level of bloodshed is not as excessive as many gangster films, and while the squad’s measures at bringing Cohen and his cronies to justice do break the law, there is always a clear sense of right and wrong.
Conclusion The film is moving, funny, and seems designed to be enjoyed for its aesthetics and thrilling crime scenes, rather than to raise any serious moral questions. One critic argued that it does not stand up to the likes of Tarrantino, but it does not try to, and overall, it is thoroughly entertaining film that does what it says on the tin.

Where to go on Valentines?
With Valentine’s day just around the corner now, we come to the classic scenario of ‘where am I going to take the Mrs out for dinner’.
Want to stick to what you know? You can’t beat a good Chinese such as the Imperial China Restaurant.
The easy options are the classic ‘Pizza Express’, ‘Zizzi’ or in my case one year a boyfriend took me to ‘Pizza Hut’. Don’t get me wrong I love pizza but not the most romantic place in the world to be taken to on Valentine’s day. So why not this year go somewhere different, somewhere you have never been before that is unique so it will be a night to remember. Let’s start in Brighton; Go Thai to the Sabai. The ‘Sabai Thai Gastobar’ located on Princes Place along North Street, The Thai word ‘Sabai’ means ‘relaxed’ which is the perfect description of this Brighton gastrobar where the urban- shique of London on Sea is matched to the ethnic charm of Thai culture. Bringing a taste of Phuket’s beach bars and Bangkok’s most upmarket restaurants to Brighton, the Sabai is all about chilling out Thai style.
This family run business always welcomes customers with a smile. The deep red, gold and green interior is as beautiful as Sabai’s freshly cooked, authentic food made using local ingredients as well as imported Thai herbs and spices with everything being made to order so special requests are always welcome.
Located on Wordsworth Road in Worthing, Imperial China opened its doors in June 2001 and owners, John and Mei Ip set about establishing the restaurant as the area’s number one Chinese restaurant. Over the past few years, the restaurant’s reputation of the highest quality food and service has gone from strength to strength attracting customers from all over the county and the South of England. With traditional and specialist Chinese cuisine being all expertly prepared and presented, the extensive and varied menu provides both set meals and individually prepared dishes from traditional to the more exotic. The restaurant can seat up to 150 people and has a welcoming reception area where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the bar while selecting your meal. If you’re perfect dish isn’t on the menu, then just ask and the Imperial China Chefs who will do their best to accommodate your request. I hope I have managed to help give you a few ideas on how to make your Valentine’s Day meal that extra special.
Have a great Valentines.

MUSIC So HMV goes down. Out of the flames a Phoenix will rise? Time will tell. Many high profile commentators are predicting the end of the album, Martin Elbourne, of Glastonbury and Great Escape fame, goes as far as to say 'Any artist who relies on sales in Europe preparing to record 70 minute CDs is a moron now. Those days are gone...big time'. Which, if he's right, means quite a lot of people I know are morons. At a more parochial level I asked a couple of local music business gurus for their thoughts. Reverb Director/Meadowlands booker and music editor Jeff Hemmings offers 'according to the latest figures nearly 70m CD albums were sold last year compared with the 30m downloaded in the UK. But nearly two out of every three were bought online or in supermarkets rather than from traditional music retailers on the high street. I'm also wondering how many other CDs are bought at gigs or via bands websites etc that wouldn't make it into any official calculation. I'd say talk of the death of the CD (and, as always, vinyl) was premature... physical product is still a valuable commodity... sure, they'll continue to slowly decline, but global populations keep rising, and new, surprising trends keep emerging...'. Laurence Smith of 360 music feels 'The fact is that there is no one-size that fits all. Running an artist is like running a business and running a business successfully is multi-faceted. Managers need many skills dependent on specifics'. Myself, I think that whilst change is inevitable, whatever the future holds, things are never quite as black and white as sometimes predicted. Away from the monolithic ivory towers of the old music establishment, I think one value of operating at the grass roots

level which, let’s face it, is where most people operate, is in the fact that it allows for flexibility and the ability to be light on ones feet. Income streams are a challenge but can still be dug out, for those hard working and talented enough to work them. For most, it's a case of get it where you can. Music sales, in all formats, from all outlets, e.g gigs, downloads, websites, wherever, can still add up to something. Moreover, diversifying, imaginatively and appropriately, into merchandising and live performance can help create career sustaining revenues, not least in 'niche' markets, which still retain some element of supportive infrastructure. Final word from Jeff Hemmings 'The future? God Knows! But all I know is people will always love music!'.
Artist of the week Goldie Reed The resurgence of interest in 'blues' and blues-rooted music has brought with it a rapid, and welcome, change of perception and nothing typifies this more than Kent based artist Goldie Reed. With her talented young band, the attractive Ms. Reed puts all the 'old men playing inferior Hendrix solos in pubs' images firmly to one side, with her refreshing blend of fresh, light, almost English folk sensibilities, adding to all the Nashvillesque slide guitars and well worn tradition roots influences than infuse her music. If this is the face of the new 'Heritage' movement (a term increasingly used to describe new, fresh and song heavy British 'blues') then long may the resurgence continue to flourish! www.goldreed.com

Top Three Tablets Google Nexus 7
Apple iPad Mini
ASUS Eee Pad
Google’s own-branded Android tablet, the ASUS-manufactured Nexus 7, represents a significant milestone in the Android tablet market. It costs significantly less than the new new iPad and aims to offer a compelling alternative at a budget price — a feat not yet accomplished by any other Android tablet manufacturer.
“Every inch an iPad”. That’s Apple’s marketing punchline for its smallest, lightest and newest iPad, the iPad mini. Claiming to offer all the features of the traditional, larger iPad, the iPad mini packs a 7.9in display into a superbly crafted body. The mini’s exceptional iOS app catalogue, outstanding build quality and super light weight are only let down by an expensive price tag and a screen that can’t match Apple’s stellar retina displays.
A quad-core processor, Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich software, an ultra-slim design and a handy keyboard dock that provides up to 18 hours of battery life. These are essentially the key points of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime Android tablet, a successor to the original Eee Pad Transformer. Although the keyboard dock isn’t perfect, the combination of improved software and a gorgeous design make the Transformer Prime the current king of Android tablets.
The Nexus 7 is one of the the first devices to run the Google’s new version of the Android OS, 4.1 Jelly Bean. The Jelly Bean 4.1 platform is a minor upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, hence the version number jumping from 4.0 to 4.1, rather than leaping up to 5.0. The Nexus 7 has a 7in LCD display with a resolution of 1280x800, which is quite impressive for its size. Despite the difference in size and price, the screen is going to be compared with the iPad. It stacks up relatively well, but the display of the Nexus 7 lacks the true clarity of the iPad when it comes to super fine text.
If the iPad mini was a boxer, it would undoubtedly be the featherweight champion of the world. To put it simply, you’ll be astounded at how light the iPad mini feels when you pick it up for the first time. At 308g, it feels much lighter than you expect. Putting it into perspective with the competition, the iPad mini has a larger screen than Google’s Nexus 7 and is constructed from aluminium rather than plastic, yet it weighs 32g less. Apple products are well known for this sort of engineering.
ASUS deserves plenty of plaudits for the Transformer Prime’s build quality. The back of the tablet is constructed from sturdy feeling aluminum and has an attractive swirl design. At 10.1in, the Eee Pad Transformer Prime’s screen is the same size as most Android tablets. The screen is bright, crisp and clear and feels smooth to swipe. It also has very impressive viewing angles.

(about 1/2 kg) lamb or beef, or more if desired 1 medium onion, chopped 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) • 1/3 cup olive oil • 1 1/2 (700 to 900 g) artichoke bottoms • 1 preserved lemon, quartered, deseed. • 1 handful of red (violet) olives Preparation: Cut the meat into 3” pieces.

lemon and olives. Simmer, uncovered, for a few minutes until a rich sauce has formed. Serve with bread for scooping up the meat and vegetables. Arrange the artichoke bottoms over and around the meat, add 2 cups warm water, cover and allow the tagine to return to a simmer. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, add the preserved lemon and olives (and a little more water if you think it necessary), and continue cooking for another 30 to 60 minutes, until the meat is tender enough to break apart with the fingers and the sauce is reduced and thick. Serve the dish directly from the tagine.
Desert
Cinnamon Oranges Ready in 10 Minutes Serves 4 Ingredients: 4 oranges, the sweetest you can find 2 apple, sliced (optional)
Cook the meat over medium heat, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring several times to turn the meat and brown it on all sides.
2 tablespoon cinnamon
Add about three cups of water, cover the pressure cooker, and increase the heat to high. When pressure has been achieved, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes.
Add a few apple slices, if desired.
Release the pressure and add the saffron and artichoke bottoms. If necessary, add a little more water (the liquids need not cover the artichokes, but they all should be partially submerged). Cover, bring back to pressure and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the artichoke hearts are tender. (Larger artichoke bottoms will require the full 15 minutes; smaller ones a bit less time.)
Peel oranges, then slice crossways into rounds and arrange on a pretty plate.
Lightly dust with cinnamon and serve immediately.

Adur & Worthing News Shoreham Harbour Regeneration Adur District Council is extremely pleased with the allocation of over £1m to Sompting as part of the Lottery BIG Local programme. BIG Local, a national charity set up by the BIG Lottery to support community development programmes, contacted the Adur and Worthing Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), of which Adur Council is a lead partner, to assist in identifying a suitable area of Adur District for developmental support as Adur has been seen as a ‘cold spot’ for lottery funding. David Simmons, Cabinet Member for Health and Well-Being and the community, worked alongside the LSP, Adur Council and the voluntary sector to put three areas – Lancing and Fishergate forward for consideration to BIG Local. Sompting was selected for the grant – which is spread over the next 10 years - based on the evidence submitted to support the application. This Lottery initiative must be community led, driven and delivered to enable local people to identify their own priorities to improve their area and find solutions that work for them. Residents supported by BIG Local, will need to come together to spend the funding which can be used for a range of things to improve their community such as starting up social enterprises, addressing unemployment, providing activities locally or other local issues. Councillor Simmons said: “This is a massive once in a lifetime opportunity for local people to really make a difference in their community. It really does put ‘Big Society’ at the heart of the community.”
Residents and businesses are invited to give their views from Monday, 28th January until Friday 8th March 2013. Copies of the development briefs will be available in public buildings in Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Portslade and Hove and you can contribute through the website at: w w w. a d u r- w o r t h i n g . g o v. u k /s h o r e h a m - h a r b o u rregeneration There will also be the opportunity to take part through public exhibitions at: Hove Town Hall (28th January to 8th February) Adur Civic Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea (11th to 22nd February) City Coast Centre, Portslade (25th February to 3rd March) For full details about the exhibition dates and times see the consultation page Councillor Neil Parkin, leader of Adur District Council said: “It’s good to see the hard work put in by the Shoreham Harbour Project Board consisting of Brighton & Hove City Council, Adur District Council, West Sussex County Council and Shoreham Port Authority is now getting closer to fruition. Residents in the locality are encouraged to give their views on this exciting project which will do much to regenerate a large area of this coastline including much needed homes for Adur.”
Development Briefs have been prepared for Aldrington Basin and South Portslade Industrial Estate (in Brighton & Hove) and the Western Harbour Arm (in Adur). The development briefs are designed to guide development and stimulate investment and, once adopted, will be used to assess planning applications for the area. The strategy for Shoreham Harbour is to deliver high quality mixed-use developments, including new housing, employment space, leisure facilities and supporting infrastructure including sustainable transport and flood defences. One of the features of the briefs is to create new low carbon developments that are energy efficient, use sustainable materials and renewable technologies and reduce waste.
South Portslade Industrial Estate and Aldrington Basin in Brighton & Hove and the Western Harbour Arm in Adur District are already attracting interest from developers. Once the consultation has been reviewed, the development brief will be updated prior to being adopted.

Stanley Jenkins An Extraordinary Life!
By Sharon Miller
At 92 years of age, Stanley Jenkins is the National Union of Students’ oldest surviving president. He was at the helm of the student movement during a critical post-war period when NUS’ work was dominated by the Cold War. Following his time with the NUS, Mr. Jenkins served 28 years with the Foreign Office, which included postings to Kuala Lumpur, Burma, Cyprus and Oman. Since leaving the Foreign Office, he has enjoyed 34 years of active retirement at his home in Ferring. He is a keen gardener and takes great pride in his lawn tennis court.
NUS (National Union of Students) is a voluntary membership organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of students and its member students’ unions.
During World War Two, Mr. Jenkins recruited and trained West African troops before leading them through India into Burma. At the end of the war, he led a company of troops back to the Gold Coast before being demobbed on to the streets of Liverpool, with no home, no money and no idea of what he was going to do next or whether any of his six brothers had survived the war. In fact, all six of his brothers had survived but his parents had died.
Our mission
Rather than join his family firm of builders in Brecon he opted for a four-year course at Cardiff Technical College and was subsequently nominated as Welsh Vice President of NUS. He became the first full-time president and the only president, to this day, to come from a technical college. “The student movement was in real danger of communist subversion at the time I was elected” he says. “By the end, that trend had been reversed”. His presidency was dominated by the Cold War.
We are a confederation of 600 students’ unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education unions in the UK. Through our member students’ unions, we represent the interests of more than seven million students.
Our mission is to promote, defend and extend the rights of students and to develop and champion strong students’ unions. Our vision Our vision is of NUS as a pioneering, innovative and powerful campaigning organisation: the national voice of students. We will fight barriers to education, empower students to shape both a quality learning experience and the world around them, supporting influential, democratic and wellresourced students’ unions.
They were dangerous times and he was shadowed by surveillance teams everywhere he went. His main adversary was Alexander Shelepin, who later became head of the KGB. He was Stalin’s right-hand man and called Mr. Jenkins an ‘arch-fascist imperial beast!’ A title that Mr. Jenkins believes may have secured his position with the Foreign Office in years to come. Whilst still a student, Mr. Jenkins went on a debating tour of India, Pakistan and Ceylon. The highlight of the tour was having breakfast with Pandit Nehru in Delhi, followed by lunch with the Governor General Rajagopalachari, tea with the Viceroy and dinner with the Vice Chancellor. ‘An Extraordinary Life’ is the title of a talk to be given by Mr. Jenkins on Wednesday 20th February at The Ardington Hotel, Steyne Gardens, Worthing. A rare opportunity to hear this amazing story. Booking essential on 01903 230451.
