100 miles in 100 days Chichester School girl completes incredible achievement Susanna Reid

news@chichesterherald.co.uk

A CHICHESTER SCHOOL GIRL has this week completed the last leg of her gruelling 100 mile challenge in support of a friend’s sister, who is suffering from childhood cancer. Abigail Turner (12) is trying to raise money to help her dance friend’s sister, five year old Chloe Ferris, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer in January. Abigail decided she wanted to do something different to raise awareness and to help raise some much needed money for Chloe’s fund, ‘Chloe’s Dream’. On Tuesday

morning, Abigail completed her challenge of a mile a day, for 100 days in front of family and friends to cap a remarkable achievement. Abigail has so far raised over £500 for Chloe, a girl who loves to sing and dance and who wants to be a ballerina when she grows up. Chloe joined Jessie Younghusband Primary School last September and had been dancing with her sisters at the Ruth Stein School of Dance at Prebendal before her treatment. She is currently being cared for by staff at both St Richards Hospital and Southampton General Hospital as she undergoes three weeks of radiotherapy as friends show their support.

Chichester School girl completes incredible achievement Abigail says the challenge came about after hearing Chloe was to have care which included a period of 100 days isolation to some degree. “I told my mum I wanted to do something to help and came up with the idea of running a mile a day for 100 days,” says Abigail. “My previous challenge was when I was nine, back in 2007, when I did a mile a day for 26.2 days to raise money for Leukaemia. This run has been hard but also fun and challenging.” Despite a wonderful summer of weather, Abigail has endured spells of running in the rain and wind but has also battled on with her challenge which has included running after being sick, running late at night after a busy day of activities and also putting her trainers on after a nine hour flight to Canada! Abigail finished her last mile on Tuesday (2 Sept), surrounded by friends and family who ran with her to complete the last leg of her journey. She said: “The last 100 days in two words was ‘hard’ and ‘enjoyable’, but actually the 100 days went by quicker than I thought. I feel happy because I did that challenge and people

Neuroblastoma Fewer than 100 children in the UK are diagnosed each year with neuroblastoma. Most children who get this cancer are younger than five years old. Neuroblastoma is the second most common solid tumour in childhood, and it makes up 8% of the total number of children’s cancers. Neuroblastoma is a cancer of specialised nerve cells called neural crest cells. These cells are involved in the development of the nervous system and other tissues. Neuroblastoma most commonly occurs in: either one of the two adrenal glands situated in the abdomen (tummy); nerve tissue that runs alongside the spinal cord, in the neck, chest, abdomenor pelvis. The adrenal glands are specialised glands that are found above both kidneys. They normally release hormones to maintain blood pressure and help the body respond to stress. In some cases, neuroblastoma can spread to tissues beyond the original site such as the bone marrow, bone, lymph nodes, liver and skin. donated to Chloe. I really enjoyed running with my family and friends, who helped a lot. Running in Devon and Canada was fun because it was somewhere different. When I was sick twice before, that was tough! And also having to run in my dress and converse at 10pm because I had gone out for dinner! It was all worth

it because it will make a difference.” Abigail is still taking in donations and would love to hear from anybody who can add to her total so far. Cheques (made payable to Chloe’s dream) or donations can be posted to Chichester Herald, Suite 804, 26 The Hornet, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 7BB.

Children set to enjoy free school meals FROM THIS WEEK around 25,000 pupils in reception classes and years one and two will be able to enjoy school meals for the first time, free of charge. Every infant aged child is now able to receive free healthy and nutritious meals, thanks to a government initiative which could save parents over £300 per child annually. Schools are responsible for ordering the meals so there is no need for parents to worry. West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, Jeremy Hunt, said: “We’re delighted to be able to introduce these free meals for infant aged children. As well as saving parents money, having a healthy and nutritious meal can also help improve concentration in

the classroom. “The expansion of the infant and primary school meal service has also seen the creation of 250 new part-time jobs in the county, so the initiative is also having a positive effect on our local economy.” Although parents don’t need to do anything for their children to receive the meals, they are being urged to take a few moments to check if they can unlock extra funding for their child’s school. By filling in a simple form parents on certain benefits can ensure their school receives extra money called the pupil premium. The money is used to support their child at school and to help boost their achievements. Primary schools receive £1,300 each year for each eligible child for up to six years.

Legendary TV and radio personality JIHAD AND CHICHESTER Jayne came home late and missed the 6.00 o’clock news and asked what was going on and I said that the Saudi King had said that Britain better get ready for Jihadi attack. She said “Oh God. Still, surely they won’t have anything against Chichester”. WAR My grandad told me that when the Nazi bombers went over your house but didn’t drop their bombs you felt instant relief followed by guilt that the bombs were going to be dropped on other people, just like you. How did that generation remain sane? CHICHESTER v TYRANNY We live in God’s Pocket. We hope the world will pass us by. Yet Hitler himself hand-picked Selsey for the Nazi attack on Britain. The Roman Empire picked out Fishbourne for its biggest citadel in the entire Roman Empire outside Rome. Someone knows we’re here… A BOARD JOY The Bell Pub, just up from the Fire Station, is prince of A boards. Today: “Not wishing to be pedantic but according to chemistry; alcohol is a solution”

CHICHESTER AND WAR Years ago, during the invasion of Iraq, when Chichester’s Roussillon Barracks were an active army base, I drove past the main gates and saw a woman in her all-black burka standing still as a statue on the pavement ten feet from a machine-gun-armed sentry. They were stonewall eyeballing each other for I don’t know how long or how much longer. An image I cannot forget. She had come to make her point.

he works there. The argument got serious. Aren’t men sad? However it’s always touching to meet someone who believes in his workplace. THE POTATO I piled on 8lbs on holiday. I’ve lost 6lbs since, just by not eating potatoes. Potatoes! If you offered me a bag of chips right now or a winning lottery ticket I’d have to phone a friend.

CHICHESTER AND RUSSIA I wrote under the Freedom Of Information Act to ask the Ministry of Defence if they had any intelligence that any Russian ICBMs were still aimed at or near Chichester. They replied that they didn’t have to tell me one way or the other. My guess is that’s a “yes” then.

EATING OUT A thing I don’t like about eating out is that you are at a little table with your own people but 3 feet away is another little enclave of diners with their own people and their own funny stories trying to have more fun than you. I’m a fan of that Wagamama because you sit at rows of tables like school dinners. Less competitive.

ARGUMENTS Got in a heated argument with a man at the supermarket checkout. I remarked it was nice to see a Bentley in the car park (sooooo Chichester). He said Bentleys were rubbish compared to Rolls Royces, he should know he said,

JOKE A man takes his car to a second-hand dealer and says “How much will you give me for this Rolls Cannardly?” The dealer says: “What’s a Rolls Cannardly?” The man says “Well it rolls down the hill but can hardly get up the other side.”

Sussex Police is committed to the best use of stop and search SUSSEX POLICE has launched two key elements of the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. The voluntary scheme, which was announced by the Home Secretary in April, is designed to contribute to a significant reduction in the overall use of stop and search, deliver better and more intelligence-led stop and search, and improve stopto-arrest ratios. It will also provide the public with further information on the outcome of searches. From today, Sussex Police will increase transparency by recording all outcomes of stop and search and whether there is a connection between the grounds for the search and the outcome; and restrict the use of Section 60 “no suspicion” powers. Already used only when necessary, under this scheme, a chief officer must make the decision whether to authorise the use of such powers. In cases where the chief officer anticipates serious violence, that officer must reasonably believe that violence “will” rather than “may” take place, as it stands now. By November, Sussex Police will fully comply with the scheme by giving members of the public the opportunity to observe stop and search in practice; and introducing a community complaints trigger.

SIN

Today the Home Secretary announced that all 43 police forces in England and Wales have signed up to the scheme and 24, including Sussex Police, will implement the additional data recording and “nosuspicion” measures from today. All forces have committed to implement all aspects of the scheme by November. Theresa May said:”Nobody wins when stop and search is misused, it can be an enormous waste of police time and damage the relationship between the public and police. “That is why I am delighted Sussex Police will from today reform their use of stop and search powers under the new Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. It will increase transparency, give us a better understanding of how stop and search is actually being used and help local communities hold the police to account for their use of the powers. Assistant Chief Constable Robin Smith said:”Stop and search is an important tool which helps us to prevent crime and I am absolutely determined that this power is used appropriately in Sussex. In taking part in this scheme I am confident that we will be making the best use of this police power and, in turn,

building trust and confidence with the public and communities we serve.” From today, stop and search data will also be available on data.police. uk. The additional information which forces will capture as a result of the Scheme will be published on this website in due course. The Home Office has also launched a consultation on revising

the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) Code A. The consultation on the Code, which governs the police’s use of stop and search, will last eight weeks. Chief Executive of the College of Policing, Chief Constable Alex Marshall, said: “Stop and search powers are necessary to help us tackle crime and keep people safe but it is clear that they are being misused too often. This can leave resentment in our communities and hinder our ability to prevent crime. “Every police force in England and Wales has today committed to the best use of stop and search scheme to improve the way we use these important powers. Under this scheme search outcomes will be recorded in more detail so we have a greater understanding of how the powers are being used. Searches

which do not require reasonable grounds of suspicion will reduce and communities will have greater powers to question police over their use of stop and search. “The College of Policing will play our part by reviewing and developing the evidence-base, training and guidance so that police officers at every level in the service are equipped with the right knowledge and skills to conduct effective stop and search. We have already built links with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to look at whether unconscious bias is affecting officers’ use of stop and search. “There are many areas of good practice where stop and search has reduced, the quality of encounter has gone up and arrest ratios increased. The College will be sharing that across the country so that we see the changes needed to ensure that the communities we serve have confidence in their police officers to use these important powers proportionately, effectively and fairly.”

Councillors decide whether to introduce free entry to district museum LEADING COUNCILLORS from Chichester District Council will decide if the council’s museum ‘The Novium’, which is located in Chichester, should be made free for everyone at a meeting on Tuesday 9 September. Since the museum opened two years ago, the council has been looking for ways to offer free entry. A new business strategy that explores ways in which this could be achieved will be discussed by councillors at their Cabinet Meeting. “We have listened to our visitors and have been working on ways that would enable us to make the museum free for everyone,” says Cllr Myles Cullen, Cabinet Member for Commercial Services at Chichester District Council. “Our museum team has been carrying out a great deal of work behind the scenes and has put us in a position where we can explore alternative forms of funding. They have also taken on board people’s comments and made significant improvements and so now is the time for us to have the debate on whether we can offer free entry to everyone. “If the Cabinet gives it the goahead we will encourage people to

support their local museum by making a donation; using our shop; or even using our new tea and coffee facilities. This will make a big difference in helping the museum to go from strength to strength.

This approach has worked for other museums across the country and so we believe that this could work for our museum. We would also offer lots of exciting activities for the whole family – including crafts,

games and expand our special events – many of which are already sold out. “Recent research has shown that 95% of visitors are from outside of the Chichester District. We want

to encourage our local residents – as well visitors from outside of the area - to explore the rich history of the district and use the museum as a key community location in the city, where people can meet and gather.” The report suggests if the admission fee was removed, the museum could explore other funding options. These include improving the shop, introducing touring exhibitions from some of the national museums which would be charged for; encouraging people to make donations; and holding more events including wedding hire of both the museum and The Guildhall. The Tourist Information Centre, located within the museum, would also expand the services it can offer. The museum has listened to its customers and has already introduced many improvements and developments, including new exhibits, interactive activities, information boards - and tea and coffee facilities. The museum is also a key asset to local schools and has one of the largest handling collections – where people can touch exhibits – in the country. A decision will be made on Tuesday 9 September.

Charity delighted with publication

Aldingbourne client Vicky Mearns with Bramble the goat

PEOPLE DREAM of being published and the Aldingbourne Trust were thrilled when the charity featured in print recently. The book on farm animals has been published by Dorling Kindersley and features photos of animals from the Aldingbourne Trust’s Open Farm at the Country Centre near Fontwell. Bramble the goat, Jerry the donkey, Samson the turkey and Sarah the goose were amongst the animals featured in the large, glossy

children’s hardback book. The book, titled Real-size Farm Animals, is very unique – it has photos of the animals depicting their actual size to educate children about farm animals. Aldingbourne were quite amused as Tom the donkey took up quite a few of the fold out pages. The book is rich in facts about donkeys, sheep, geese, cats, pigs and many other animals that can be found on a farm. When the book landed hot off

Open Day at Chichester Festival Theatre this Sunday • Enjoy a free, family-friendly event

the press at Aldingbourne Trust, the staff were thrilled to be part of the project; a spokesperson said: “We were delighted with the Dorling Kindersley publication; it was a lovely, quality book – just as I recall from the DK books I used in my childhood. Aldingbourne Trust feels privileged to have been asked to be part of the project and was only too happy to oblige. It was a great experience; the animals made very good models and by all accounts behaved themselves!” The Dorling Kindersley staff thoroughly enjoyed their time at the Aldingbourne Country Centre and were particularly struck by two of the animals – Samson the turkey and Jerry the donkey. Marie Greenwood, Senior Editor, said: “We had a great time photographing so many animals especially a very proud turkey, Samson, whom we all fell in love with. Jerry the donkey would not be photographed unless he was near his brother Tom; they hate to be separated and even go to the vets together, which we thought was very sweet. The staff could not have been more helpful and considerate; it was a unique and rewarding experience.”

The book is currently only available to buy in America and Canada, but can probably be viewed on the Dorling Kindersley website www.dk.com . Jerry, his brother Tom, and Samson and all the other farm animals can be seen on the farm at the Aldingbourne Country Centre seven days a week. The Country Centre is the charity’s main site which acts as a visitor attraction

as well as a training site for adults with learning disabilities.

The

Aldingbourne Trust is a West Sussex charity that supports adults with learning disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone else, such as employment, and to live independently.

ST WILFRID’S HOSPICE held their annual Vintage Affair in the Assembly Rooms in North Street Chichester last Friday (29 August). There was a queue when the doors opened despite the fact that it was raining! Shoppers were greeted with a fabulous variety of authentic vintage items ranging from clothes and accessories to toys, haberdashery and furniture. The event is very popular as it is a great opportunity for people to get their outfits for the Goodwood

Revival, but also for the Vintage lovers out there as all the items are donated and are genuine and original. People came from as far as Petworth, Portsmouth and Brighton to snap up the bargains and to soak up the atmosphere, with music from the fabulous ‘ Dawn’s Vintage Do’, and the chance to sit and enjoy tea and cakes in the tea room. Sue from Chichester commented she’d had a wonderful time and particularly enjoyed the music . She said: “The music really gave the

event a feel good factor, people were swinging in the aisles.” Trustees Angela Wormald, Peter Stoakley and Michael Bevis attended and thanked the staff for all their hard work in organising and setting up the event, which raised in excess of £8000 for the Hospice. It costs just under £6.7 million per year for the Hospice to operate, with only 12% of that provided by the NHS. The unsold stock from the event will be available to buy from the Retro & Vintage shop at 11, Eastgate Square in Chichester.

A self-serving system is not what it was for Two of the main stories in the national news this week have left me wondering, not at all for the first time, what kind of back-tofront, self-serving system we have landed ourselves in. People not wanting to rock the boat. Officials not wanting to risk their job or position. Politicians keeping quiet to retain votes. The local town hall turns a blind eye while hundreds of children are abused, and keeps it turned. In the year in which we’re marking a hundred years since the sacrifices of the First World War, it feels like we’ve gone backwards to the standards of an earlier age, to Dickens and the Victorians, when those who held the whip hand ruled and youngsters were not seen or heard, but deemed beneath contempt and damned for it. In our time, another bizarre twist is introduced. While abusers can maintain the status quo on a PC ticket, parents who adore their sick child are criminalised, handcuffed and frogmarched behind bars in a way the abusers of those 1,400 children should have been but weren’t. A five year-old in a foreign hospital bed is without his mum and dad because of our

stupidly topsy-turvy approach. “It is an absolute disgrace,” said Ashya King’s grandmother. She’s right. It is. Thank goodness for the petition, signed by tens of thousands of us, that helped spring Ashya’s parents from their Spanish jail cell. The Kings’ story has tugged at our heartstrings for so many reasons. Sometimes a court has to get involved when a family and doctors disagree over treatment. In this case, it seems Southampton medics didn’t feel there was evidence to recommend the proton beam therapy the little boy’s family preferred to standard radiotherapy, believing the latter would destroy more healthy tissue. The fact that evidence isn’t there doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not the better option but rather that not enough studies have been done to compare.

Moment Killer Recently I have become a serial killer of good moments. This includes third wheeling of every variety, making uncomfortable and unfunny jokes that nobody knows how to respond to and joining in with other peoples’ fun when I am clearly not welcome. There are many reasons for this, but generally it comes under the categories of alcohol and/or naivety. It’s not like being clumsy, because that can just be a part of your character that you can’t control. Being a moment killer involves both cunning and bravery. I never INTEND to be annoying, but when those people are getting off and she’s wearing your jacket which has your lip balm in the pocket, chapped lips take priority. You have to start with a subtle ‘I don’t mean to interrupt but…’ so as not to seem rude. You can’t just launch into it. I mean please, do you not even have manners or something? Ever since seeing the Elliot Reid – Moment Killer scene in Scrubs (if you haven’t witnessed it then you really must change that) like five years ago, my life has been revolutionized. It’s because somebody put into words my frame of mind. And this was in the time before there were even shots to be done, romances to ruin, inside jokes to intrude on. I remember being about fourteen and hearing two people singing in the PE changing rooms and absent-mindedly joining in, only to be greeted by silence and

Which prompts other questions: how many top-heavy managers and lawyers do we have to get rid of from the NHS to advance proton beam research and to have a therapy unit in the UK so we don’t have to send sick kids to the US or the Czech Republic? Dishes The man from the TV aerial company came round as the satellite picture had gone. It turns out the metal bracket had rusted and drooped so the dish was no longer aligned. Of course you can’t buy a new bracket, that would be too simple, convenient and affordable, but have to discard a perfectly good dish to get the whole thing operational again. The brackets last around four years. Are they built like American cars so you have to replace them regularly? And if you don’t, what are the chances of dishes falling to earth like the odd scrap of space junk? Not a very nice thought. Bike love It was a bit like Pongo and Perdita outside Chichester Cathedral yesterday. You remember the part

in 101 Dalmations where their leads end up tangled and the owners get it together? I’d locked my bike to a parking rack and gone to the post office. I came back to find another bike buddying up with mine, except this one had been left with its lock looped around my front brake as well as the rack. Fortunately an apologetic chap with a Geordie accent rolled up after my five minutes’ fuming, during which I only briefly wondered whether I’d have to dismantle my bike. Organic selfies A relative was invited for tea and tiffin at Buck Pal recently. She changed her outfit more times than a society debutante for the do. I gave her a message for Prince Charles that I liked his organic barley and

oat porridge. His shampoo range is alright too. However, she never even got the handshake as he was mobbed and cooed over, pop-star style. I was most put out. Then I see this boy in Belfast taking a selfie with the Queen. He had about two seconds to dart in front of the stately royal walkabout. Now there’s a thought, next time one of us gets an invite for tea and tiffin.

Photo of the week

Mia Ed wards somebody mumbling, mortified, ‘Mia… that was THEIR song. You weren’t a part of it.’ I apologize to those people. I understand now that it was an error in judgment and that I should have restrained myself from spreading my singing wings on that particular occasion. Unfortunately my weapon of mass destruction when killing momentss is often my voice, and this is something that will never change. It’s also a hard time being a murderer. People stop hanging with you because they are afraid for the welfare of their moments. They don’t want to bring up the issue of my criminal record because I may get angry and kill their moments on the spot. It hangs over my life like a cloud. I have so much moment blood on my hands that I don’t trust myself not to just lash out at innocent moments on the street because it’s all I know. So if you have a moment that you wish to keep, lock it up safe. Machete mouth Mia may be just round the corner.

Get nominating in West Sussex’s care ‘Oscars’ World Suicide Prevention Day – recognising and dealing with suicidal thoughts

DO YOU KNOW a fantastic carer in West Sussex? Has a local care organisation shown outstanding care to you or someone you know? Now is the time to nominate them for the West Sussex Care Accolades, the county’s ‘Oscars’ for care workers. The awards recognise the hard work and dedication of people working in a wide variety of jobs in adult social care including dementia care, caring for people in their own homes and caring for people at the end of their life. The awards are a chance to honour the individuals and organisations who make a special effort to go above and beyond their normal day-to-day duties to help people who receive care. Nominations close on Monday 22 September at 5pm. The awards, now in their fifth year, are organised by West Sussex Partners in Care and are supported by West Sussex County Council. This year there are nine categories: Ancillary Worker Award - for example, cooks, bus drivers and cleaners; Dementia Care Award - for someone who has improved

the quality of life of people with dementia;

End of Life Care Award – for someone who has demonstrated a commitment to a person and their family at the end of that person’s life; Individual Student Achievement Award; Lifelong Learner Award; The Chair’s Award for Endeavour - for someone who has overcome personal difficulties while still going above and beyond their normal day-to-day duties; The Young Carer Award; Excellence Award – which is awarded to an organisation; and Individual Employers Award.

Peter Catchpole, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Adults Social Care and Health, which is supporting the accolades, said: “These awards highlight the achievements of people who go that little bit further to enhance people’s lives. “They demonstrate attention to care and duty and set a marker for others to aspire to, which will help to improve the high standards of care delivered to people who receive care in West Sussex. If you know

Your chance to nominate someone who every day changes the lives of people for whom they care

someone who has done that please nominate them.” Chairman

Sussex

Partners in Care, Rosemary Pavoni, said: “There are about 25,000 social care staff working in West Sussex, who every day change the lives of people for whom they care, and this is the time to celebrate and recognise their dedication, hard work and commitment.” The winners will be announced at a ceremony in October. Winners receive a trophy and shopping vouchers. For

IN SUPPORT OF WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY on Wednesday September 10, West Sussex County Council is reminding people of the support which is available to anyone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. The advice is if you are going through a difficult time or are worried about someone else, don’t go through it alone...TALK: Tell someone what you are thinking and how you are feeling; Ask for their help or seek help; Listen to their advice or seek advice from others; and Know who to call in a crisis and keep the number with you at all times. Christine Field, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing, said: “There are things we can all do to raise awareness of the signs to look out for, and know what to do if we are worried about someone. “It’s vital that we continue to encourage people to feel that they can talk about their problems. It is so important for anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts to realise that they

are not alone, that there are people who can offer confidential and nonjudgmental support and advice. “Your GP is often the best place to start, who can suggest treatment and if necessary refer you to a specialist who may be able to help more.” Helplines, websites and support groups: Samaritans Tel: 08457 909090 Website: www.samaritans.org There are also Samaritans branches in West Sussex: Bognor on 01243 826333, Horsham on 01403 276276 and Worthing on 01903 205555.

National News News in Brief • Many young teachers lack a proper grounding in English grammar, a leading independent school head has said. Girls’ School Association president Alice Phillips said many teachers were “at sea with aspects of proper usage”. She also warned, in a Times Educational Supplement article, that teachers needed to be rigorously educated to deliver the new national curriculum.

Dog lead mother Jacqueline Angrave jailed after appeal

•There are reports that separating pupils by ability could be a requirement for England’s secondary schools. It has been suggested that the government will call for Ofsted inspections to promote such “setting” into ability groups. Setting means dividing pupils into different ability groups for separate subjects. A teachers’ union has said it would be “educationally unjustifiable”. • Regaining public trust and confidence in banks is still years away, the chairman of the Treasury Committee, Andrew Tyrie, has said. Despite a raft of new rules designed to rein in bad practice, a culture change at banks has a long way to go, he said. “My impression is that the spirit is willing, especially at the top, but sometimes the flesh is weak,” he told Wake up to Money. Mr Tyrie said a lack of confidence in banks was hurting recovery. • Ashya King’s parents have been reunited with their son at the Spanish hospital where he is being treated. Brett and Naghemeh King were arrested and held in a Madrid prison after taking five-year-old Ashya, who has a brain tumour, from Southampton General Hospital against medical advice. • A US TV host who is thought to have been murdered by his exlover was a “monster” who sexually abused boys, it has been claimed. The allegations came to light after Scott Rogers, 52, a former dance academy teacher in Suffolk, was shot at his home in Iberville, Louisiana. Two British men have told a US radio station they were abused by Mr Rogers. • A man who stabbed his estranged wife to death while she was on the phone to a friend has been jailed for life. Kanwal Azam suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack by 54-year-old Suhail Azam at her home in Wolverhampton in March. Her friend called 999 after hearing her screams while she was on a phone call to her, police said.

British Ebola patient discharged THE FIRST BRITISH person to contract Ebola during the outbreak in West Africa has been discharged from hospital after making a full recovery. William Pooley, 29, has been treated in a special isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in London. Mr Pooley was given the experimental drug ZMapp and has praised the “world class” care at the hospital. About half of the 3,000 people infected in the outbreak, which started in Guinea, have died. The pace of the outbreak has been accelerating with more than 40% of cases in the past three weeks. Mr Pooley was working as a volunteer nurse in one of the worst affected countries, Sierra Leone, when he contracted the virus. He is unsure when he became infected, but started feeling sick and needed a blood test.

He recalled the moment his fears were confirmed: “I was woken early that evening by one of the World Health Organization doctors and immediately I knew it was bad news. “I was worried that I was going to die, I was worried about my family and I was scared.” He was flown back to the UK by the RAF on Sunday 24 August. Mr Pooley was in the earlier stages of the disease. He had a high temperature but was not bleeding. He said: “I was very lucky in several ways; firstly in the standard of care I received, which is a world apart from what people are receiving in West Africa at the moment. “And my symptoms never progressed to the worst stage of the disease, I’ve seen people dying horrible deaths, I had some unpleasant symptoms, but nothing compared to the worst of the disease.”

was aged between five and 10, from 1997 to 2003. He said: “The offender used to walk her to school using a dog lead

when she was aged between seven and 10. “[She] took care to see no-one was able to observe this by removing the lead before they arrived at the school gate.” Angrave, of Hughenden Drive, would also drag her daughter by the hair, punch, kick and scratch her, and force her to take cold showers while rubbing shampoo and soap into her eyes. “It seemed to the victim that the offender was taking pleasure in hurting her,” the judge told the hearing. The daughter also suffered psychological cruelty, with Angrave blaming the girl for her own problems, the court heard. “The impact of this campaign of relentless insults was to destroy the victim’s self-esteem and to blight her childhood,” Lord Treacy said. A pre-sentence report said Angrave continued to show no remorse, while reports showed she suffered from diabetes, failing eye sight and some mental health problems. However, the judge ruled these were not reason enough for her to avoid a custodial sentence.

Landing gear incident is not the first AN AIRCRAFT affected by a landing problem at Doncaster airport, forcing it to close, was involved in a similar incident before, a report has found. Doncaster’s Robin Hood Airport was closed overnight on 15 August after the left main landing gear of a Jetstream 31 plane collapsed when it landed. Investigators said stress corrosion cracking at the top of the landing gear leg had initiated the collapse. The aircraft’s right main landing

gear failed in the same way in March 2012. In a special bulletin, the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) has called for safety checks following its preliminary findings. The plane, operated by LinksAir, slid along the runway at the South Yorkshire airport and came to rest on the adjacent grass, with the single passenger and the two crew members able to get out unhurt. It had been on a scheduled flight from Belfast City Airport.

Chichester Business Open Sesame! £20 million available to local & small businesses Kylee Charles Director of PR Consultancy Mindseye Management

When I need a little break away from work matters, I often pop on to social media, get lost in reading what everyone ‘says’ they are up to and watch a few of the popular virals that are in circulation that day. It was a couple of weeks ago when I watched one about hidden wheelchair lifts that really took my breath away. It featured the Sesame Access wheelchair lifts, a uniquely designed system which conceals wheelchair ramps within the steps of a building, so much so, I wanted to find out more. Historic buildings such as Kensington Palace, UK Supreme Court and Cambridge University all have the bespoke wheelchair

Some of the Checktrade staff practising their moves in preparation for October!

ON FRIDAY, 10 OCTOBER, ten brave Checkatrade employees are going to jump out of plane after flying off from Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury to raise money for Help 4 Harvey. Little Harvey Young who is four and from Titchfield, was born with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy which meant he couldn’t use his legs properly. The group are aiming to raise £5,000 which will be used to fund Harvey’s physiotherapy and physical training sessions which are crucial after having pioneering surgery last year. Two years ago, Harvey’s parents heard about a life-changing operation not available on the NHS which meant they had to raise £50,000 and travel to St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri, USA so that their son could have the chance to walk and maybe run like other little boys his age. Staff, friends and their families at the Selsey based company

have already been fantastic with their fundraising efforts and the Checkatrade Foundation have already been able to give Harvey a huge donation of £15,293 which helped fund the expensive procedure in America. As Harvey still needs regular therapy sessions to build up the muscles in his legs to help him get stronger, an idea was suggested back at the Checkatrade head office; a couple of Directors from Checktrade very kindly offered to fund the jump fee, if ten daring volunteers signed up to do a skydive. The response was almost instant! Sam Pasquale, one of the jumpers said: “Most of us are very fortunate in life, so for me to give something back is very rewarding – this will be my thought whilst in the air at 10 – 12, 000 feet!” Zoe Morris added: “The adrenalin junkie in me is coming out this October as this will be the second

time I’ve jumped out of a plane but this time it’s for a fantastic cause and for a little boy to have a better life. I couldn’t think of a more worthy reason to do this for, go Harvey and go team Checkatrade.” Harvey’s parents Nick and Nat said: “It’s incredible that ten, very brave people, who barely know Harvey, are so willing to do such a challenge as a sky dive, it’s quite amazing really, it’s very hard to put into words how people such as these make us feel when they’re helping someone so precious to us to move towards a more normal life, the words thank you just don’t do enough justice really.” As the cost of the jump is now covered, every penny raised will directly go to helping Harvey and making a long lasting difference. If you would like to sponsor the team and help Harvey, please go to www. justgiving.com/help4harvey or text FREE62 to 70070 to donate £3.

Last chance to apply for ‘Be the Business’ grants “Apply now and let us help you unlock the potential in your business”. That’s the message from the Leader of West Sussex County Council Louise Goldsmith as the deadline for the latest round of ‘Be the Business’ funding approaches. Businesses can apply for a share of the £600,000 fund, which is designed to help support the local economy and create jobs by offering grants of up to £25,000 to small and medium sized local businesses. To qualify for a grant, applicants must be located in West Sussex and, if applicable, be paying business rates there. Alternatively they could be about to start up

a company in, or be planning relocation to, West Sussex. The closing date for applications is 5pm on Monday, September 15. Louise said: “So far we have had a great response from local businesses keen to tap into the help and support available from the County Council, but we want to hear from more before the application deadline. “A wide range of businesses from across the county have already applied to the fund, both established organisations and new initiatives looking to start up in West Sussex.

(Charlotte) form an unlikely bond with Billy Murray (Bob) in Tokyo?

Lucy (15) Running time: 89 mins Director: Luc Besson Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman

Scarlett Johansson stars in a breathtaking action-thriller about a woman who accidentally develops superhuman powers. In Taiwan,

terrified young American Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is abducted by a gang of brutal drug traffickers. Telling her that she is to become their mule, they sew packets of narcotics into her stomach. But when these leak into her bloodstream, Lucy undergoes an astonishing transformation. As her brain becomes supercharged, she quickly acquires incredible strength, vast intellectual capacity and amazing telekinetic powers. These allow her

Sky Diary September 2014 By Peter Littlejohns

Venus is very low in the pre-dawn sky and is difficult to see as it gets lost in the twilight. Back on Earth the Autumn Equinox occurs on the 23rd giving us equal lengths of day and night as the Sun heads south-ward over the celestial equator. Mid month sees Mars moving into the constellation of Scorpius and setting after 21:00, then passing by the red giant star Antares on the 28th. Saturn is also in the SW giving us the last chance for a while to observe this lovely ringed planet. Our Moon passes very close to Uranus on the 10/11th night giving us an easy guide to spotting this distant world. People in the Shetlands will see the Moon passing right over this planet. Even more distant is Neptune which crosses the meridian soon

to turn the tables on her captors. The rapidly evolving Lucy then reaches out to academic Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman), who theorises that we use only 10% of our mental capacity. But what will happen to her when she reaches 100%? Luc Besson, writer/director of ‘Nikita’ and ‘The Fifth Element’, has created some of the screen’s most extraordinary female action heroes. With ‘Lucy’, he takes the genre to a new level. which is a fairly flat spiral shape (like a cosmic catherine wheel) and is one of 40+ local galaxies. Looking towards Sagittarius in the SW is a

Nothing Civil about Civil War - with historical authors Michael Arnold and Robert Wilton CHICHESTER LIBRARY is inviting people to visit the Novium Museum for an exciting evening featuring two historical authors and an opportunity to view the museum’s collection. The event has been jointly organised with the museum. Visitors will be able to hear from Michael Arnold and Robert Wilton. Michael Arnold’s fascination with the civil wars was piqued partly by the fact that his hometown and region of Hampshire are steeped in Civil War history. Traitor’s Blood is the first in The Civil War Chronicles series featuring the unforgettable Captain Stryker and is followed by Devil’s Charge (a Sunday Times Historical Fiction Choice of the Year) and most recently Warlord’s Gold. Robert Wilton is a diplomat, charity co-founder and writer. He has worked in a number of Departments of the British Government, including a stint as Private Secretary to three successive UK Secretaries of State

Brain ‘can be trained to prefer healthy food’

THE BRAIN can be trained to prefer healthy food over unhealthy high-calorie foods, using a diet which does not leave people hungry, suggests a study from the US. Scientists from Tufts University say food addictions can be changed in this way even if they are wellestablished. They scanned the addiction centre in the brains of a small group of men and women. The results showed increased cravings for healthy lower-calorie foods. Prof Susan B Roberts, senior study author and behavioural nutrition scientist at the Boston university, said: “We don’t start out in life loving French fries and hating, for example, wholewheat pasta. “This conditioning happens over time in response to eating repeatedly - what is out there in the toxic food environment.” Scientists know that once people are addicted to unhealthy foods, it is usually very hard to change their eating habits and get them to lose

When their brains were scanned using MRI at the start and end of a six-month period, those following the programme showed changes in the brain’s reward centre. When participants were shown pictures of different types of food, it was the healthy, low-calorie foods which produced an increased reaction. The study said this indicated an increased reward and enjoyment of healthier food. The brain’s reward centre also showed decreased sensitivity to the unhealthy, higher-calorie foods. The Boston researchers say that gastric bypass surgery, while solving the problem of weight loss, can take away food enjoyment rather than make healthier foods more appealing. “There is much more research to be done here, involving many more participants, long-term follow-up and investigating more areas of the brain,” Prof Roberts said.

Health & Beauty 5 tips for juicing greens Wow! What a summer! It’s been amazing, eventful, beautiful weather (for the most of it) and full of fabulous people… but… all good things must come to an end! I feel so in need of a detox to kick start the autumn term. I cant believe its that time of year again, and I am sure I speak for many of us in saying, “I really don’t know where this summer has gone”, but hey, lets celebrate the fact that the UK actually had some sunshine, and that we have enjoyed plenty of

Denise Kelly Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist pimms and prosecco and too many crisps and dips! It’s time to get serious about your health again and crack on with the healthier lifestyle choices! I talk about green juicing a lot,

but I cannot express enough how beneficial it is for you. What better way to start the September cleanse, than with a green juice and here is how and why…. Juicing vegetables is tasty, easy and beneficial for your health and juicing vegetables is a great way to reward your body with nutrient dense vegetables, vitamins, minerals and powerful nutrients, making way for healing and removing toxins that are unwanted. When you first start juicing greens, you might be confused on what greens to juice and how to get a good tasty juice. You don’t want the juice to be bitter or unbearable. For these reasons I came up with 5 tips for juicing greens.  1. Start with a Base Before you add any leafy greens like kale, add a base. A base includes vegetables like romaine lettuce, celery, or cucumber. You want to add high water content vegetables for great hydration. Adding celery, cucumber or romaine lettuce also makes your

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

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

However if you are a runner why not try something new… if you’re a gadgets-and-gizmos-a-plenty kind of runner, try leaving them behind on your next outing.

properties.

2. Add Leafy Greens Next you want to add some leafy greens. I love to add kale, watercress or spinach to most of my juices.

5. Add Lemon or Lime! Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which helps boost your immune system, helps remove toxins from your body and also helps keep your body’s pH in an alkaline state.

3. Add Some Herbs Add a handful of coriander, parsley or basil to your juices. Herbs like coriander and parsley are great for helping you detox. 4. Add a Little Zing Add some GINGER. Ginger has great anti-inflammatory

6. Bonus! Add a pear or apple or some berries to sweeten it up! There you have it, your perfect health boosting, and energy enhancing juice! Start today, no excuses!

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

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

MANY BRITISH COUPLES could be heading for trouble as an independent survey carried out by Experian, the global information services company, finds that 16% of Britons have discovered their partner has been keeping financial secrets from them. A further 11% have strong suspicions that their partner has been less than honest about their spending. And while full financial disclosure is not always necessary for a happy relationship, the research also shows that some significant financial truths are being withheld which could have serious implications for both partners.

Among those who found their partner was hiding financial secrets from them: · 29% found their other half was hiding credit card debt; · 25% loans and overdrafts; and · 21% missed bill payments. Poorly managed debt can potentially have a long-term impact on a couple’s finances – particularly if they are among the 36% of Britons who have joint credit agreements. When couples’ finances become linked through joint financial agreements – such as a joint bank account or a mortgage – their credit reports become linked. As a result, if one partner has a less than perfect history of managing money and repaying debt, it could negatively affect the chances of both getting credit in the future and at the best rates. In fact, of those surveyed, one in 10 has had to postpone taking out a joint credit agreement – such as a joint mortgage – because of their partner’s credit score. But the impact is not purely financial because being economical with the truth can have a big impact emotionally also. More than a

quarter of couples (27%) admit they argue over money, with spending the most common cause of rows (51%). And more seriously, some 7% of Britons have broken up with their former partner over money matters. Interestingly, the research also revealed that British men are the biggest secret spenders, admitting that they would happily spend an average of £344, compared to women’s £265, without discussing with their partner. And while men are more likely to fudge the truth when talking about how much they have spent socialising or on hobbies, women have been found trying to hide how much they spend on clothes. Julie Doleman, Managing Director, Experian Consumer Services, commented: “It takes a while for any couple to feel comfortable enough to discuss their finances. However, if you are planning a future with the person you love, financial honesty is important. Understanding the impact of your past spending and borrowing habits will help you see the way forward to realising your

aspirations, be it buying a home or even starting a family. “Sitting down together and checking both of your credit reports will give you a good overview of your current financial situation, and will help guide you in making

any improvements necessary before you might need to apply for credit in the future. Taking the time to understand how you can improve your credit scores now could make a big difference to your bank balance in the future.”

21% of residents in the South East have declined a wedding invitation due to costs WITH THE WEDDING SEASON nearly over, many residents in the South East will have witnessed another round of I Do’s and celebrations. However with ceremonies, and hen and stag parties becoming more elaborate, many residents are having to check their bank balances along with their calendars before agreeing to attend. A study by TopCashback released today, reveals that 21 per cent of South East residents have had to decline an invitation due to the price of a wedding. Along with potential travel and accommodation costs, 72 per cent think buying a gift

is compulsory and more than half believe it should cost between £26 and £50. Two-thirds also said they’d buy a new outfit for the occasion. Other key findings reveal that: More than half of Londoners expect a free bar at a wedding, compared to just 30 per cent of residents in the South East 17 per cent of South East residents would rather spend money on a wedding before saving for life essentials 18 per cent of South East residents went over budget when planning their wedding

City beaten by QPR shoot-out frustrated playing up front on her own. QPR took full advantage of this by keeping the ball for large periods at the back and that is where the deadlock was broken from, after some good possession across the back line the visiting right back played a long ball over the top of the Chichester defence placing their centre forward in one on one with McNamara and the visiting striker calmly finishing into the bottom corner. After the restart Chichester again gained momentum and it wasn’t long before they found the equaliser. Becky Barron, making her home debut, played a beautifully floated ball to the back post for the brave Remi Crawley to challenge against the R’s on rushing ‘keeper. Crawley arrived first and nodded the ball into the net to draw the home side level. Chichester had the chance to take the lead before the break when a free kick found Widdowson in the

Sunday 31 August 2014 Women’s Premier League Cup Chichester City 1 -1 QPR (QPR win 4-2 on penalties)

LAST SUNDAY saw Chichester City ladies host their first competitive game of the season at Oaklands Park. Their opponents were QPR, who play a league higher than Chichester, in the determining round of the Women’s Premier League Cup. After this round the competition would become national, teams that won would enter the cup competition and for those teams that lost a plate tournament would be held. The Green army went into the game looking to build on their 4-1 win in their opening league game of the season. The home side started the much brighter and were on top for the opening periods of the game. Despite their good play, Chichester struggled to create any clear cut chances with Ambler becoming

area but unfortunately her looping header across goal struck the bar and the QPR defence managed to clear. The teams went in at half time all square. When the match got back underway it was the home team doing all the running knowing that winning this game was well within their grasp. A lot of the game was being played in the middle third with QPR looking to break through their wide players however they found the Chichester back line in fine form. As the half wore on the heat began to take its toll on both teams and the tempo of the game slowed. Both teams created chances but both goalkeepers were equal to them. The game went to extra time as after 90 minutes the scores were level. With the physical demands of the game beginning to show neither side created many chances to win the game until the final kick of the

match. When Cheshire was played in on Chichester’s right and squared the ball across the goal for substitute Natalie Clark who was arriving at the back post, unfortunately for the home team one of the visiting defenders done just enough to put her off and the ball went over the

bar for a goal kick. With a winning team being needed on the day the tie was to be decided by penalties, QPR ran out 4-2 winners in the shoot-out to progress into the next round. The ladies return to league action on Sunday at home with a 14.00 KO.
