CURVY GIRLS SHOULD DO ANYTHING BUT COVER UP THIS SUMMER. DISCOVER SUMMER DRESSING HINTS FOR PLUS SIZES. Retail guru Mary Portas doesn't mince her words. Dubbed the Gordon Ramsay of the shopping world, Portas opened her new series of BBC Two's Mary Queen Of Shops with a plus-size boutique for a reason. "The fashion industry is shockingly bad at providing fashion in bigger sizes," she says, "But the curvy customer is, in fact, the average British woman." While much of the high street is busy catering for Kate Moss-sized frames, in this country 57% of us are size 14 or above.

But the industry is gradually recognising the need for curve appeal. Designers at Debenhams labels like Rocha by John Rocha and Betty Jackson Black are available in sizes up to 22, and high-street store Evans is red hot at translating catwalk trends to plus-size chic. A trendy new wardrobe is a foolproof confidencebooster if you're lacking confidence in your shape.

Fashion SUMMERTIME

DRESSING If you're a fuller-figured woman, rest assured you won't be the only one flaunting your flesh on the beach this summer. So when the sun is shining, proudly bare some skin and soak up those rays. "Don't hide those curves!" says Anna Scholz, one of the leading designers of the plus-size market who's introduced sexier fashionconscious clothes. "Don't be embarrassed by your shape - make the most of it this summer," she advises. "Just because a woman is bigger it doesn't mean she doesn't have great boobs or great legs." Curvy girls should do anything but cover up, so embrace your best bits and ditch the black this summer. Anna offers her top ten seasonal tips for fuller figure dressing.

Curvy Girl Rules Don't be afraid to wear pale or bright colours - you definitely don't have to live in black.

Don't be afraid to show off those legs! It's not just the size 10s who have the best pins. Try wearing your hemline on or just above the knee.

TRY: Evans lemon yellow frill one-shoulder dress (up to size 32); or Anna Scholz pleated jersey pink dress.

TRY: Betty Jackson Black multi smudge print skirt at Debenhams (up to size 20); or Evans floral ra-ra skirt (up to size 32).

_____________________

_______________________________

The boho look is great for the curvier lady, as long skirts are in fashion rather than just being a cover-up.

High heels or wedges can lengthen the legs, so don't just wear flats!

TRY: Next herringbonetrim maxi skirt (up to size 20); or Littlewoods South printed jersey maxi dress (up to size 24). _____________________ If you have a generous bust, don't be afraid to show it off. If you're trying to minimise your bust, stick to square necklines. TRY: TK Maxx Plus Woman jersey asymmetric top (up to size 26); or Next grey longline scratch print top (up to size 28).

_______________________________ If you're heading for the beach invest in a kaftan. You won't feel too covered up and it covers a multitude of flaws. TRY: Anna Scholz silk print kaftan (up to size 28); or Simply Be multicolour print kaftan (up to size 32). _______________________________

_____________________

Ditch the hold-in knickers. Instead invest in some good flesh-coloured underwear which is much more comfortable in the summer heat.

If you wear something that tents down from the bust you will make yourself look much bigger than you are. By slinging a belt around your waist or hips, you give the illusion of an hourglass figure.

TRY: M&S firm control no-VPL full briefs (up to 22); or Sloggi neutral maxi brief for 4-pack (up to size 26) at Figleaves.

TRY: Evans elastic waist belt (sizes S-L); or Simply Be studded leather belt, (up to size 34).

___________________

_____________________ Cover larger upper arms with a pretty shrug or bolero top. TRY: Dorothy Perkins cream knit shrug (up to size 22); or Littlewoods So Fabulous! embellished jersey shrug (up to size 32).

TRY: Georgina Goodman for Evans Iris heels; or Marks & Spencer wide fit peep-toe slingback sandals.

Make use of in-house bra-fitting services. If you have a substantial bust, wearing the right bra will take pounds of your figure. TRY: Bravissimo (bravissimo.com) or John Lewis (johnlewis.com).

RICK STEIN'S

Taste of

SUMMER LEADING CHEF RICK STEIN CAN HELP YOU RECREATE TASTES AND FLAVOURS ENJOYED ON EUROPEAN HOLIDAYS. HE CHATS ABOUT HIS TRAVELS DURING HIS CURRENT TV SERIES MEDITERRANEAN ESCAPES AND CHOOSES A FAVOURITE RECIPE FROM HIS BOOK OF THE SAME NAME.

Travelling round the Mediterranean coastline and islands sampling the food, talking to cooks, and soaking up the atmosphere sounds like an enviable way to earn a living. Chef Rick Stein, who undertook the experience for his TV series and book of the same name, Mediterranean Escapes, admits happily that he's hooked on being a roving gourmet. "It was a wonderful experience and taught me so much not just about the food but the people in places like Corsica, Sardinia and Morocco." There are recipes for Turkish Spinach, Feta and Mint Pastries, Puglian Fava Bean Puree, Sardinian Spaghetti With Tomato And Cuttlefish Ink, Sicilian Orange Cake and Corfiot Rice Pudding. Going to Catalonia in Spain particularly impressed him and one of his favourite dishes from there is Chicken and Prawn Paella with artichokes and chorizo.

Please mention BN23 when responding to advertisements

Food

CHICKEN & PRAWN

PAELLA

With Artichokes & Chorizo (Serves 10-12)

Rick says: "Always use paella rice arroz calasparra, and the paella shouldn't contain too much longcooked seafood which ends up tasting like stewed tea. It's also important that once the rice is added to the pan it is not touched - all the grains of rice should be separate. "Either get a true paella pan and burner (available from online sites) or use a very large frying pan and place it over two or even three burners and keep turning the pan so that it cooks evenly throughout."

Ingredients... 1x 1.5kg chicken 1.75 litres chicken stock 1/2tsp loosely packed saffron strands 150ml olive oil 8 garlic cloves, sliced 16 large raw prawns, heads removed but left unpeeled 150g chorizo picante, sliced 2 medium onions, chopped 2 beef tomatoes, skinned and chopped 750g arroz calasparra 300g prepared artichoke hearts (or about 4 medium globe artichokes) Leaves from a 10cm rosemary sprig 150g fine green beans, stalk ends trimmed, cut into 1.5cm pieces 150g shelled fresh peas Salt

Joint the chicken and remove the bones from the breasts and thighs. Cut the knuckle end off each drumstick and leave the wings as they are. Cut the breast and thigh meat into large chunks. You could ask your butcher to do this for you.

Add the rice to the pan, turn up the heat and fry for a minute or two. Then add the stock, the chicken pieces, the artichokes, rosemary and two teaspoons of salt, and stir briefly to distribute everything evenly around the pan.

Put the stock into a large pan, add the chicken bones and leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Strain into a clean pan, add the saffron strands and keep hot.

Leave to simmer for 20 minutes, turning the pan now and then if necessary so that it cooks evenly.

Heat four tablespoons of the oil in a 40-cm paella pan over a mediumhigh heat, add the chicken and fry until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate. Add another two tablespoons of oil to the pan with half the garlic, the prawns and chorizo sausage, and fry for one minute until lightly golden. Set aside on another plate. Add the onions, the remaining oil (four tablespoons) and garlic to the pan and cook for five minutes until lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and leave to cook over a low heat for 15 minutes until you have a jamlike consistency.

Meanwhile, drop the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for three minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Scatter the beans, peas, prawns and chorizo over the top of the rice and cook for a further 10 minutes, by which time the rice should have absorbed all the stock and be tender, and all the other ingredients should be cooked. A slightly brown crust on the base of the paella is acceptable but take care not to let it burn during cooking. Leave the paella to rest off the heat for five minutes before serving. The Spanish prefer to serve it warm rather than hot.

Local Charity

Rachael was just 13 years old when she was diagnosed with skin cancer. Sadly, Rachael lost the battle with her cancer on 16 May 2002. She was just 17 years old as far as we know, the youngest person in the UK to die from Malignant Melanoma. After I lost Rachael, I had a lot of time to think about what had happened and what we had gone through, by reflecting on the past few months’ and years’ events and how we could have improved our situation. During this time, I came upon the idea of a respite hotel in Eastbourne for teenagers, young adults and their families to have a holiday by the sea. Here, they will be able to enjoy some valuable time together without the hassle and worry of the daily running of the home. Time to just relax and have fun and to gather some very special memories with their loved one. The idea of Rachael’s House is not just a dream; this is a vision for every family in the south of England with a young person diagnosed with a life limiting illness. Rachael’s House will offer the gold standard in holiday respite care for all these families, giving them some of the special time that is left, not only to be together, but to gather those very precious memories of happier moments.

£1,000,000

Happy Island Hopping IN THE HISTORIC

AEGEAN

A two-week taste of life in the GREEK ISLANDS THE SHIP'S TANNOY CRACKLED INTO LIFE AND A SENSE OF ANTICIPATION FILLED THE CABIN. IT WAS NOT YET 8AM BUT THIS WAS TO BECOME THE DEFINING MOMENT OF THE DAY. Clanking anchor chains had signalled our arrival at a new port. Now the reassuring yet authoritative voice of the Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Captain, with his trademark slow delivery, proceeded to tell us where we were, how we got there, what the weather was like and what would happen next. After a few days, we could barely contemplate leaving the cabin without this cheery wake-up call. We were aware of the itinerary across the Aegean Sea on our ship, the Spirit of Adventure, but it was strangely comforting to have the scene set each day.

Carrying just 350 passengers and with a draught of less than five metres, Spirit of Adventure is slender enough to berth in many small ports in the Aegean that are out of bounds to bigger 'floating hotels'. That's not the only benefit. The ship with a minimum age limit for passengers of 21, offers superb service from its ever-smiling Filipino crew (there's no tipping) and impeccably maintained accommodation.

Travel There's also a choice of free excursions on every shore visit, as well as some additional trips, often taking in a whole day on an island, with coach, guide, admissions fees and lunch charged at ÂŁ30-ÂŁ50 per person. We joined the ship in Istanbul after a memorable coach journey from the city's airport in Asia, across the Bosphorus Bridge into Europe, and through the teeming streets of this historic capital. An initial day of gentle cruising in the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles strait took in a view of the Gallipoli monument and a pod of dolphins. Once into the sparkling Aegean, our first stop was Lesbos, the third largest A stop in the lovely Aegean seaside of the Greek islands, which lies only a town of Nauplion, the first capital of few miles off the Turkish mainland and Greece after independence, was is unspoilt by mass tourism. followed by a day in Athens where we ticked off all the sights, including We berthed in Mytilene, a bustling the stunning Acropolis. coastal town boasting huge old mansions and narrow, cobbled Conditions were turbulent in Mykonos, shopping streets. famed around the world for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and lively We chose an excursion on winding rural roads to the south coast for a visit nightlife.

The highlight of our excursion was a visit to the Asclepion (named after Asclepius the god of healing), once an important centre of healing.

To reach Rome, Spirit of Adventure was towed by tugs through the Corinth Canal, the four-mile waterway which was scoured through the isthmus linking the Peleponnese peninsula to the rest of the Greek mainland. Only three metres separated the ship from the vertical cliffs that form the sides of the canal as our captain, broadcasting to decks crowded with camera-toting passengers, described how a previous British cruise ship emerged badly damaged after scraping the sides. Needless to say, we emerged intact, exhilarated and flushed - with our own Spirit of Adventure.

Next came Crete, largest island in Greece, where the ship berthed in the busy capital of Heraklion (named after Hercules), handily placed for a trip to the ruined Palace of Knossos, built by the Minoans in around 1900BC. The Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull creature, roamed the palace's labyrinth until it was slain by Theseus.

Most people by now know that Botox® can reduce lines and wrinkles on the face. Even though it has been used for cosmetic purposes for the last twenty years, there are people who will criticise this treatment without fully understanding what it involves. Those who are interested in trying it are often put off by these criticisms. In fact, my best friend was one of these people - but as soon as she started to get deeper lines and wrinkles she asked for my help, and since treating her she says she hasn’t looked so good in years. What is Botox®? Botox® is the trade name for Botulinum Toxin Type A – a neurotoxin protein derived from bacteria called Clostridium Botulinium. It is used in many ways, but we know it best for softening our lines and wrinkles. Is Botox ® safe? Botox® remains one of the safest procedures under the umbrella of cosmetic treatments. It has been used for many years in conventional medicine, most prominently in the treatment of children with Cerebral Palsy to give them a full range of movement in their arms and legs. It is also used to stop the over-production of sweat in the armpits and has had fantastic results in the prevention of migraines. Its effect on lines and wrinkles was first discovered when patients being treated for eye twitches noticed a difference in their appearance following treatment Botox® results are temporary and as a result is perfectly safe when administered by a qualified professional. In fact, there has never been a recorded court case in the UK, for any permanent issues caused by Botox® when used for cosmetic reasons. How long does each treatment last? The longevity of each treatment depends on many things, from the dilution of the Botox® to the depth and activity of the muscles in your face. In general, most treatments last between 3 and 6 months. What does it involve? A tiny amount of Botox® is injected through a tiny needle (an insulin or paediatric needle), into three popular areas of the face; the frown lines in between the eyebrows, the lines on the forehead and the crow’s feet around the eyes. You can ask for some anaesthetic cream to numb the area if you are particularly sensitive, but most clients do not need it as the procedure isn’t ‘painful’. Are there any side effects? You may get a slight headache and a feeling of heaviness in the brow. On very rare occasions, the treatment can cause the drooping of an eyelid because the Botox® has entered a depresser muscle. As the results are only temporary, this is resolved very quickly. In fact, Botox® is regarded as one of the safest procedures in aesthetic medicine. Can anyone have Botox® treatment? Botox® is perfectly safe for most people, but should not be used by the following groups: • pregnant or breast feeding women. • People suffering from conditions that affect muscle activity; like Bells Palsy, Myenasthenia Gravis and Multiple Sclerosis. • Bleeding disorders, or those taking medication that affect bleeding time such as; Warfarin, Heparin, Aspirin or Glucosamine. • Drugs that may interact with Botox® such as; Aminoglycoside antibiotics, Sprectromycin and Quinine sulphate. • It is also probably safer to avoid having Botox®, whilst taking antimalarial quinine based drugs – although an interaction is only a theoretical problem. What about before and after care? Always make sure that you take care of your skin by using aesthetic products and ensuring that your skin is well hydrated through drinking at least 2 – 3 litres of water per day. Do not rub or massage the areas that have been treated, or do any vigorous exercise, for at least 24 hours following treatment. How long does it take to see the results? Some people see a difference within three days, however it takes from 10 – 14 days to see the full effects. You’ll be telling yourself how good you look in the mirror! Enhance your beauty, and call me for a free consultation – I look forward to hearing from you. Direct Line: 07954 185 542 or email info@dermaclinics.co.uk Marion Brown

bn23 August Bank Holiday weekend sees the welcome return of the 4th Eastbourne RNLI Regatta. The Regatta has become a popular fixture in the local community calendar, with boats from Brighton, Newhaven, Rye and Dover joining in the fun. This year, the Regatta will be bigger and better, building on the tremendous success of the past 3 years that have raised over £40,000 for Eastbourne RNLI. These vital funds go towards the upkeep of the All Weather Lifeboat “The Royal Thames” and our Inshore Lifeboat “The Joan and Ted Wiseman”, and to help provide our crews with the training and equipment they need. As with previous years, each event is kindly supported by numerous local businesses. Crews of 5 are invited to take part in the rowing Boat Race sponsored by Kier construction. The Eastbourne Coastguards will be back to defend the crown that they stole from the Eastbourne Inshore Lifeboat crew! There are also dinghies and kayaks to try out in the Outer Harbour, a Children’s Tender Race sponsored by Sovereign Harbour Berth Holders’ Association and the power boats will be taking part in the Predictive Log event. Each day, there is also the spectacular sight of the big boats racing out on the water in Eastbourne Bay; from the regular racers to those more used to the sedate pace of cruising. Guest racers will be provided with free berthing at Sovereign Harbour, thanks to Premier Marina who are the Regatta’s host and the major sponsor. Sunday lunchtime sees one of the highlights of the Regatta, with the Eastbourne fishing fleet’s Family Boat Race sponsored by Southern Head Fishing Co Ltd. Each boat and their crew are dressed up and it’s a brilliant spectacle to watch them in the locks and then to see them race! Be warned - it’s every man, woman and child for themselves with the Lifeboats getting involved in the action too! The Lifeboats take to the water again on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon to show off the skills they practice every week , with an exercise in the Outer Harbour. For those less interested in traditional Regatta activities, there are loads of stalls and the chance to buy souveniers. Food and drink will be available throughout the day. Each evening, there’s a party with live entertainment, hot food (including the ever popular pig roast!) and a licensed bar serving traditional ales. So come down and join in the fun! Everyone is welcome!! With thanks to Mark Robinson 2nd Coxswain

Why Should I Buy a Boat?

With so many opportunities for boating fun available today, there’s no reason why anyone can’t take advantage of the benefits that recreational boating has to offer.

Read our personal list of Top Reasons for Boating below: Boating Improves Your Quality of Life It’s a proven fact that recreational boating goes a long way towards improving your quality of life. The minute you start to move forward on a boat, you’ll notice how easy it is to leave your troubles behind. Recreational boating provides a constructive outlet for entertainment that reduces stress and provides enriching opportunities for self discovery, whether it’s learning how to water ski or simply enjoying the warm glow of an evening sunset. Boating is an Affordable Recreation Alternative Are you under the impression that recreational boating is too expensive for your current budget? Think again. Many boats can be financed for under £100 a month. Any good boat dealer will work with you to help you save money and get you the best financing package available. Water Access is Closer than you think Did you know that over 4 million British adults a year participate in boating and water sports in the inland and coastal waterways of our country? This means that water access is a lot closer and more convenient than you might think. Access to water, should it be Inland Waterways or the sea, is at most a few miles away for everyone and a million miles from the real world. Nowhere in the UK is more than 45 miles from the nearest tidal estuary. To find a boating marina or slipway near you, visit www.skippersguide.co.uk or www.boatlaunch.co.uk Boating Fun Helps you Bond with Friends and Family In a 2005 study in the US by the National Marine Manufacturers Association forty percent of all households listed relaxing with family and friends as their favourite boating activity (followed by fishing, cruising, and waterskiing). In other words, to many people the best part about boating doesn’t revolve around the latest waterskiing tricks or the number of fish caught - the best part of boating is simply the opportunities it provides for boating fun with friends and family. Recreational boating is quality time spent away from the television set and the video games, creating an atmosphere that brings people together and creates fond memories that last a lifetime.

Leisure Boating Helps Reduce Stress We can’t stress the statistics enough - numerous studies have shown that a little bit of boating fun each day can go a long way towards reducing stress. In fact, a 2005 National Marina Manufacturers Association survey of over 1,000 American households listed boating in the top-three of all stress-relieving activities Boating is Convenient As we’ve already pointed out, since over ninety percent of UK residents live less than an hour's drive from an accessible body of water, you can be enjoying the fresh air and water in no time. In fact, the convenience of boating makes it possible to hop on your boat for a mini-break whenever you feel like it, as an alternative to other family recreation activities which can quickly add up to become even more expensive and time-consuming. Boating is an Engaging and Rewarding Activity Recreational boating offers lots of opportunities for personal growth. Whether you’re instilling your child with extra confidence as they learn how to properly secure a line, or you’re enjoying the delicate taste of fresh fish that you caught yourself, boating recreation provides many different rewards for all ages. Boating is Good Exercise From a rigorous sailing excursion to an invigorating run on water-skis, boating provides sporting enthusiasts with many active endeavours to choose from. In fact, we’d argue that simply breathing in the brisk wind coming off the water in itself can go a long way towards strengthening one’s constitution- not to mention the additional physical and psychological benefits in terms of relaxation and stress relief. Recreational Boating is Easy to Learn If you’re new to boating, take heart. With so many available boating classes and courses to choose from, you’ll be out on the water before you know it. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn how to sail, or you’re just interested in new ways to spend quality time with your family, a wealth of available boater education courses make boating easier to learn than ever. To learn more about finding boating instruction near you, check out http://www.rya.org.uk/getonthewater/Pages/getonthewater.aspx Boating is Flexible From Eastbourne, the French coast is only a few hours away. Your boat, moored in Sovereign Harbour, is not only your holiday home in Eastbourne, but Brighton, Le Havre, St Valery en Caux or wherever takes your fancy. With a trailer, your boat can be towed to the Scottish Highlands, Ireland, The Mediterranean, The Aegean Sea The Black Sea or even further field.

St Valery en Caux

Boating is FUN Last, but definitely not least, one of the top reasons for boating is simply because it’s so much fun. There are so many activities to explore when it comes to boating, whether you like to fish, water-ski, snorkel, or simply enjoy relaxing on the water. As a kid, you may have dreamed about cruising along the coast just off Beachy Head towards a dinner date in Brighton or just feeling the exhilaration of speeding along at 60 mph in a performance speed boat. It's time to come and talk to us, Sussex Power Boats in Sovereign Harbour, and let us show you how to make those dreams come true. Just call us on 01323 478505 or email bryan@sussexpowerboats.co.uk to make an appointment or check out our website www.sussexpowerboats.co.uk.

Happy Boating!

A NEW ROLE FOR

BIGBEN

THE HOLLYWOOD ACTOR IS REINVENTING HIS CAREER WITH AN ACCLAIMED DIRECTING DEBUT GONE BABY GONE, RELEASED IN UK CINEMAS RECENTLY. HE TALKS TO US ABOUT SURVIVING TABLOID GOSSIP AND INSISTS HE'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM HIS PUBLIC PERSONA. Ben Affleck proves that even the crash and burn of a high profile Hollywood romance can have a silver lining. At the height of his tabloid-blazing relationship with Jennifer Lopez four years ago, he started writing a film script of Dennis Lehane's disturbing novel Gone Baby Gone. Set in his native Boston in the US, it's a harrowing thriller about the search for a missing four-yearold girl and the troubled people it involves. Initially he thought of it as a vehicle for Lopez, but instead it has become an acclaimed directing

debut for the 35-yearold actor. In the decade since he won a Best Screenplay Oscar with pal Matt Damon for Good Will Hunting, Ben has gone from bright newcomer to blockbuster star to tabloid fodder. It has been a bruising rise and fall that would have sunk a lesstalented actor.

Celebrity But the surprising thing about Ben Affleck, considering his bad choices like Gigli, is how articulate and bright he is. Multi-lingual in Spanish and French, his all-American good looks are matched by genuine depth and he's matter-of-fact about what has happened to his career. "The first half of the media cycle was fascination, the second half was rejection. But what I never realised is that the public don't end up blaming the magazines that write every insane, untrue story."

than anywhere. I wanted to show the city the way I know it and to say something personal." He went to great lengths to get real people to populate his film. "We ended up in a lot of bars at 9am, a time when you get a particular type of person in a bar," he says. However, plans to show the film at the London Film Festival last October were put on hold by Disney because of the ongoing McCann case.

"We just thought it was better to err on the side of discretion and good taste," While depicting the tragedy says Ben. "I'm proud to be associated with a company of 1950s television Superman George Reeves that made a decision I in 2006 film Hollywoodland thought was respectful." went some way to Casting his brother, who rejuvenating his acting stars alongside Michelle career, Gone Baby Gone Monaghan, was also an has really turned heads. issue, Ben admits. "I wasn't just going to leverage my It stars Ben's younger one shot as a director on brother Casey as dogged private eye Patrick Kenzie nepotism, that would be foolish. I made this choice, who refuses to give up on as I think it's clear to looking for the missing child.

"I just felt that maybe this was a way to have a sense of authorship about what I was doing without having to stick my face out there," says Ben about sitting in the director's chair. Ben has gone back to his roots to get a handle on his career again. "I wanted to do a movie set in Boston. I thought it would make me feel more secure because it's a place I know better

Being a father of a young daughter (with actress wife Jennifer Garner) changed some of his views of the moral dilemmas posed by the book. He started writing the script before he became a father to Violet, now two. "Before I had her, I had an intellectual understanding of what would happen to a parent to have a child taken away. But once I had a child myself, I understood it emotionally. That's a big difference," he says. Ben will return to acting in the romance comedy He's Just Not That Into You with Jennifer Aniston

and Scarlett Johansson, due for release later this year. He counts himself very lucky in a business where many people fall by the wayside. He may have taken a hefty paycut in Hollywood terms from his $12million-plus-per-film heyday, but he is still paid a lot of money doing what he loves. "I have really very little to feel sorry for myself about. People have legitimate hardships, so it's kind of petty for me to sit around ruminating about little dents in what has been a very fortunate life so far."

Summer is finally here, evenings are getting brighter... but your great outdoors is screaming out for some stylish attention. Dig out those weeds and mow that luscious lawn now it's time to make the most of al fresco living. "When springtime rolls around our thoughts turn from cosy nights huddled by the fireside to long warm evenings outdoors." says Melloney Hunt, of Laura Ashley's design service.

Dog of the Month Each month, we feature one of the many dogs at Dogs’ Trust Shoreham who are looking for a new home. If you think you can help, please contact Dogs’ Trust on 01273 452 576

Names:

Natalie & Nicole

Breed:

Cross

Age:

4 years old

Gender:

Female

Natalie & Nicole are approximately 4 year old tan cross breeds. These sisters have been together since birth and unfortunately, have had a very difficult start to their lives. They are therefore very close and really depend on each other so staff at the Rehoming Centre are desperate to keep the pair together. ‘The Girls’ as they are affectionately nick-named are such wonderful dogs and it’s clear that they just need the right home where they will flourish. On their arrival at the centre, it became obvious to the staff that they had never been allowed to play or been given any love or affection. They were so scared of everything and everyone that getting close enough to get a lead on them could take up to 30 minutes. They were frightened of toys and bones and were very uncomfortable when shown any sort of affection. However, the staff have been stunned at how fast they have progressed. They now love spending time with the other dogs in the centre and even like having cuddles with the staff they know and are now starting to show their cheeky sides! Centre Manager Tracey Rae explains: “The rate at which these girls have improved is just astonishing. It was very distressing to see them so lacking in confidence but they are almost unrecognisable now to the girls that walked through the front doors. They love being cheeky and jumping and playing on the sofas in the runs which we never thought we would see. They just need the right home with new owners who understand that they will need to be given the time and space to learn to trust them at their own pace. Having said that, it’s not taken them too long here so we’re sure in a home they will progress even faster!” These lovely girls can live with other dogs, the staff are unsure how they are with cats, but are willing to test and, due to the fact that they are still anxious in new situations, cannot live with children under the age of 16.

If you think you have the perfect home for Natalie & Nicole, please contact Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre Shoreham on (01273) 452 576 or visit the centre between 12.00 midday and 4.00pm any day (except Tuesdays when the centre is closed). Alternatively, visit www.dogstrust.org.uk

Lifeboat Callouts

The Inshore and All Weather Lifeboats are on call 24/7. They are called upon in all weathers and every day of the year - even Christmas Day! Below are some of the callouts made in July

6th July 2008

11.41 hrs Overcast

The Crew of the All Weather Lifeboat were at the Eastbourne 999 show on the western lawns when they were paged by Dover Coastguard to launch. The casualty, a 6.5 metre sailing boat with three people on board, had hit a submerged object and damaged its rudder. With no steering capabilities, they requested assistance from the Lifeboat. When on scene, half a mile south of Sovereign Harbour, a tow line was rigged and the All Weather Lifeboat towed them into the outer harbour, where the lifeboat boarding boat took over and towed the vessel into the starboard lock.

9th July 2008

22.25 hrs Heavy Rain

Dover Coastguard requested the All Weather Lifeboat launch to a 60 Ton, 22 metre Polish registered Ketch with a crew of seven. The casualty had a broken mast seven miles south west of Sovereign Harbour. The rigging of the ketch along with its sail was still attached to the mast. This meant that the mast could foul the propeller or damage its hull. When on scene, two members of the lifeboat crew were transferred to assist in making the remains of the mast and rigging safe and rigging a tow line, when this was all secured to the ketch. The casualty was then towed back to Sovereign Harbour.

12th July 2008

17.27 hrs Sun/Cloud

Following the report of a Kite surfer in difficulty 500 metres east of the harbour entrance, the Inshore Lifeboat was launched with a crew of three to assist. When on scene, the casualty was found on the beach - he had been helped by a passing boat. The Inshore Lifeboat crew went ashore and confirmed that this person was the casualty and that he was safe and well. The Inshore Lifeboat then returned to station.

13th July 2008

21.15 hrs Clear Skies

The Inshore Lifeboat was tasked to assist a 16 ft long angling boat with engine failure, just off Sovereign Harbour. The call for assistance to the Coastguard was made by the casualty using a mobile telephone, as the fault with the engine was electrical. Once on scene, the Inshore Lifeboat found that the angling boat crew had just managed to start the engine. They escorted the casualty back to the beach at Pevensey Bay.

17th July 2008

14.45 hrs Sun/Cloud

Following a 999 telephone call reporting a swimmer in difficulty 200 metres off the Redoubt, Dover Coastguard paged for the Inshore Lifeboat to launch. When on the scene, the swimmer was questioned and reported he was not in any difficulty. The Inshore Lifeboat was stood down and returned to station. (A report with good intention).

17th July 2008

16.00 hrs Sun/Cloud

The All Weather Lifeboat was launched to assist a 15 metre Belgian Sailing boat with engine failure half a mile south of Sovereign Harbour. When on scene, a tow line was rigged and the sailing boat was towed into the safe water mark in the entrance of the harbour. The tow was held up due to the low water and the casualty had rather a deep draught. Once the tide had started to rise, the tow into the Sovereign Harbour was resumed

20th July 2008

09.47 hrs Sun/Cloud

The All Weather Lifeboat was paged to assist a sailing boat one mile west of Sovereign Harbour. When on scene, it was reported that the casualty had engine failure and a tow line was passed. The casualty was then towed back into Sovereign Harbour. The All Weather Lifeboat then left the harbour for its weekly exercise.

20th July 2008

17.07 hrs Sun/Cloud

The Inshore Lifeboat was paged to the report of a rubber dinghy in trouble half a mile off the beach near to Eastbourne Pier. When on scene, two teenage girls in the dinghy reported they had lost their oars and could not paddle the boat against the tide and wind. Both girls were transferred over to the Inshore Lifeboat, the dinghy was deflated and they were taken to the beach 100 metres east of the pier.

Environment

The United Kingdom isn’t renowned for its wonderful weather. If there’s one thing us Brits love to do it’s moan about it and let’s face it, we’ve had plenty to moan about this Summer. But did you know, the UK actually has less water available per person than most other European countries? In fact, London is drier than Istanbul, and the South East has less water per person than the Sudan or Syria! Each person in the UK currently uses about 150 litres of water per day and this rises by about 1% per year. The hard fact is, we simply haven’t got enough water to go round. “But we’re an Island Nation!” I hear you cry. “We’re surrounded by the stuff!” That’s as maybe but that doesn’t alter the fact that we’re running out. We need to cut back and there’s lots of ways we can do it.

A running tap uses 6 litres per minute. Turn off the tap whilst cleaning your teeth or washing your hands

Washing up by hand can use 63 litres of water. Using an energy efficient dishwasher uses just 15 litres

Watering your plants and shrubs twice a week with a really good soaking is better than giving them a quick drink every day. That way the water gets to the roots and doesn’t just evaporate.

Running a bath uses over 100 litres of water. Taking a shower instead will use two thirds less. But beware, power showers can use more than a bath! And limit the time you spend singing in the shower. It’ll save water!

Instead of running the tap until it’s cold, keep a jug of water in the fridge.

Only boil what you need in the kettle and use the minimum amount of water when cooking vegetables.

A dripping tap wastes 5,500 litres of water a year! Mending it will save water as well as save you £18 over the year.

Only water your garden in the cool of the morning or the evening to minimise evaporation.

Don’t cut the grass too short. survive dry weather longer.

Pick the right plants for your garden. Drought -hardy varieties such as lavender will survive better than those that needs a lot of water.

Mulch your flowerbeds with gravel, coconut shell or bark chips to keep in moisture. But beware of mulching too close to the stems to avoid them rotting in wetter conditions.

Your roof collects 85,000 litres of rainwater per year. Invest in a water butt and use it to wash the car and water the plants for free!

Policing in the Community

A note from Neighbourhood Specialist Constable Ed Faulkner As the Neighbourhood Specialist Officer for the BN23 area, I work alongside a team of other PCs and PCSOs to deal with anti-social behaviour and long term issues that exist in the area. This work includes partnerships, working with voluntary groups, local authorities and community organisations. We always welcome contact from anyone on issues that affect you so please feel free to contact us directly. With summer firmly with us, I have seen a number of houses and vehicles being left with windows open and other insecurities. I understand that it is difficult at this time of year to try and keep cool and secure but thieves will take every opportunity they can. An open window or door is almost inviting them in to take what they please, especially if you have satellite navigation or other equipment in your vehicle left in view or hidden in a glove box. We are also continuing our efforts on speeding motor vehicles. Recent meetings in Priory Road, Ramsey Way, Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crescent and other areas have continued to show that speeding is a big problem. I am working closely with the roads policing unit to look at this, as well as conducting our own speed checks locally. We will not leave this important issue alone, so please SLOW DOWN. Finally, responsible dog ownership is coming to the fore. There have been a number of incidents recently where owners have allowed their dog off the lead and this has led to a child or another dog getting bitten. Please take great care with your family pet and if there is even a small chance that they may nip someone else, they must be controlled. I have investigated owners in the past for having dogs out of control in public places and I will do so again if necessary

August Horoscope

By Patrick Arundell

Aries

Taurus

Gemini

(Mar 21st - Apr 20th)

(Apr 21st - May 21st)

(May 22nd - Jun 21st)

On day one you'll absolutely burst into the month on the back of a stunning total Solar Eclipse in quite definitely the most energising part of your horoscope. This suggests that an action -packed and sociable month is in store for you, but with the Lunar Eclipse of mid-month potentially causing mischief, don't take anyone important for granted.

Cancer

(Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Your self-expression will rarely have been more vital, and if you demonstrate exacting self-discipline your ideas can curry favour and potentially see a significant improvement or reorganisation in your finances. Yet tensions at work are a possibility. These can occur where anyone resists the changes you're proposing or you resist those proposed to you.

Libra

(Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Certain associations can provide sustenance but there can be other people who, frankly, hugely disappoint you. People being honest and up-front can be important to your emotional wellbeing, so be aware of those who revel in playing games. The week at the heart of August can be particularly tricky or confusing. Eventually, Mars will lift your energies.

Capricorn (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) People will admire you if you adopt a fair approach. If you encounter people who are unreasonable you may be uncompromising, but events can move quickly. You may not be fully briefed of some salient details so be cautious around mid-month. Fortunately your natural pragmatism and leadership skills can see you make rapid progress as August winds down.

That exclusive home makeover you've yearned for can become a reality, but as Venus glides into the most romantic and glamorous sector this can up the stakes in love. If there have been rumblings of discontent in an existing partnership, this can reach make or break point by the 10th. Stern words can either lead to a resolution or a brand new start.

Leo

(Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) The Solar Eclipse on the 1st of August is perfect for you, acting as a springboard for your hopes, especially where you want to demonstrate flair. If you're serious about your talents, you can earn more cash. If you're frivolous, an old income stream can dry up. From mid-month differences of opinion over money can be a corrosive issue in your love life.

Scorpio

(Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Feeling comfortable in your worldly role is going to become something of a mission, with you looking for something a little more special, or even idealistic. Your network of friends and acquaintances can be important to this - especially more serious-minded types. Yet by mid-month things can seem as clear as mud with a possible squabble over possessions.

Aquarius (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) This can be an important month for close ties. An amazing Solar Eclipse can trigger a revival or a determination to find new love. Yet if a tie has been bumping along the bottom, August's middle week can prove crucial. You know more than most people that a relationship cannot be forced, it has to come naturally. This can prove to be the nub of things.

This can be a critical month for your personal situation. Early on - as far as light-hearted banter is concerned things can seem frivolous and fun. However, by mid-month some of what you discuss can be anything but. The key to all this is where you live, who with and how. An involvement can either prove its mettle or have to make way for the new.

Virgo

(Aug 24th - Sep 23rd)

Psychological health is key this month and although a sluggish start to the month can be replaced by a livelier phase, by the 16th you're reminded to stay in touch with subtle undercurrents. Some kind of major stand-off can occur at home. If you're too belligerent there may be no winners from this. New beginnings can finally unfold from the 23rd.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23rd - Dec 21st)

You'll need to carefully approach relations with older or more experienced types. Such people may be a little more conservative than you, and expect you to fit in with them, not the other way around. A promotion beckons if you can accept these constraints. If you can't, you may find yourself restless and keen to pursue more stimulating possibilities.

Pisces

(Feb 20th - Mar 20th) Health trends are positive as August begins, giving you the push to get active. Competitive sports can appeal like never before. However, your job situation is less likely to prosper if you try to boss a boss. Work at meeting people in the middle. If you don't, from the 10th tense scenes are possible. By the 16th of the month, strife can leave you feeling drained.

AGONY AUNT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS

IT'S GETTING HARDER TO MAKE ENDS MEET

The cost of everything is going up so much and I am starting to worry about making ends meet. Food is one of our biggest costs and although we only eat one main meal a day I am sure there are ways I could cut back without starving the family. I'm not a great cook and don't have a lot of confidence in my knowledge of what's good and what's not. I could do with some pointers but don't know where to start.

FIONA SAYS:

PLAN YOUR MEALS TO SAVE FOOD COSTS

Food costs do seem to be spiralling at the moment, probably part of the knock-on from the rising cost of fuel used to transport it. One thing I do is plan and that has saved me a lot of wastage which, in turn, has seen my food bills reduce. We sit down together and plan the menu for the week and that includes breakfast, a main meal and a lighter meal each day. We don't always stick to it accurately but we buy just what we need and make most meals from scratch. If you don't have the confidence to cook why not see if there are any courses available at your local adult education centre on basic cookery? That would point you in the right direction.

My husband died about three years ago leaving me a widow at 41. While I am still very sad, what really depresses me is thinking about the baby girl I gave up for adoption before I met him. I have three other children (14, 12 and nine) but no one knows about this fourth child. I have always known where she is and how to contact her but have never done so as I don't want to mess up her life. She's 16 now - knows she is adopted but has never made a move to find me. What should I do?

.A.T. ................................

M.E.

SHOULD I LOOK FOR THE BABY GIRL I GAVE UP FOR ADOPTION?

FIONA SAYS:

DON'T INTRUDE ON HER LIFE

The circumstances around your daughter's adoption seem a little unusual as you seem to know quite a lot about her and her life. The Post Adoption Centre run a support and counselling service set up to help birth parents like yourself and others that you can reach by calling 020 7284 5879. I think it would be a mistake to intrude on the life this girl has; especially as it may all be connected with the grief, solitude and loneliness you are experiencing following the death of your husband. It may be that, in time, your daughter wants to find out more about her birth parents and tries to find you. The Post Adoption's Contact and Mediation Service can help you here too as they support all aspects of contact between adopted children and their relatives.
