A feast of fun for summer Meet our winning cover artist

2

Our Cover Art Competition – meet one of the winners Christine paints mostly in acrylics, but loves to try a variety of media. She’s particularly inspired by birds and the Art Deco period.

Congratulations to Christine. And look out for our joint winner, artist Pete Slight, on the August cover.

Our cover artist, Christine Davies is a comparative newcomer to the arts scene, but her bright colours and bold designs mean she’s certainly getting noticed.

Christine began painting five years ago when she retired, and joined a series of classes with Jane Denman at Skyblue Art based in Worthing.

“I’d always been interested in painting, but never had the confidence to make a start,” she told us. “These classes helped me realise a long held ambition.”

From the Editor Roll up! Roll up! For some of us the summer months mean a chance to enjoy all the fun of the fair – and judging by all those carousels, dodgems, Ferris wheels and scary gravity defying rides setting up in parks and seafronts all over the area, we’re in for a fun time.

If you like that sort of thing. I must confess, however, to being a bit of a fairground wimp. It all started when I was about eight, and a young friend of mine – obviously blessed with nerves of steel – dared me to accompany her on the Ghost Train.

I spent the whole ride doubled up in the seat with my hands firmly clamped over my eyes in case I saw anything remotely nasty.

In those days it was probably incredibly tame, but it finished me off, I can tell you – and I’ve never ventured on one since.

Then there was the memorable occasion at Battersea Fun Fair in my twenties, when a boyfriend with no thought for the consequences persuaded me to go on the Waltzer with him.

(Do you see a pattern emerging here?)

It sounded quite sedate and elegant – and, of course, there wouldn’t be any ghosts, so I gave it a whirl, literally. But I had reckoned without the face-flattening g-force, stark terror and ensuing nausea. Once these were factored into the equation, I wasn’t quite so keen, but by then it was too late.

It was The End for me and fairgrounds. Ever since that day I’ve stayed firmly on the ground, watching other people apparently getting a real buzz out of having their insides turned upside down.

But, of course, fairgrounds are not just about defying gravity and proving to your friends how tough you are.

The food on offer, if you can keep it down, is just fantastic.

Candy floss and toffee apples?

Here’s your chance to win tickets for Acorn Antiques: the Musical

Photo: Miles Davies

The sight of 40-foot long, Hong Kong Dragon Boats taking to the water at Brooklands Park is an event you really can’t afford to miss this month. 24 teams consisting of 15 people – 14 paddling and one banging the drum – will be giving it their all in a series of timed races down the lake. The top three teams will be carrying off medals, and the overall winners will receive the coveted Dragon Boat Trophy.

Written and composed by Victoria Wood, this all-singing, all-dancing stage version of the TV spoof was first seen on the BBC 25 years ago, and has been a firm favourite with the nation ever since. Later this month it comes to the Barn Theatre, Southwick in a new production

by Music Theatre 2000, directed

by Simon Gray, and with a special guest appearance by TV actor Brian Capron.

Miss Babs is struggling to keep her antiques business open, as shop after shop in the High Street is forced to close.

Can she afford to turn down the offer from the world’s second biggest chain of coffee shops? Will Mr Clifford ever get his memory back and remember who he is engaged to? And, most worryingly, will Mrs Overall be able to tap dance while holding the tray?

With many West End performers in the cast, this promises to be a hilarious evening – and we’ve got a pair of tickets for the opening night for you to win. To enter

our prize draw, just answer the following question: The charlady in Acorn Antiques is a) Mrs Doyle b) Mrs Swabb c) Mrs Overall Write your answer on a postcard, together with your contact details, and send it to Essentially Worthing Acorn Antiques Competition, 7 Phrosso Road, Worthing, BN11 5SJ, to arrive by Wednesday July 20.

Only one entry per household, please – and don’t forget to include a daytime phone number.

Acorn Antiques: the Musical runs at the Barn Theatre, Southwick from Wednesday July 27 to Saturday July 30 at 7.30pm (Saturday matinee 2.30pm). On Sunday July 31 at 5.30pm there’s a picnic performance with an hourlong interval, and on Friday July 29 the Gala performance is in aid of the Martlets Hospital – followed by a reception and a chance to meet the cast.

Magic and Mayhem at Highdown up on a desert island. The action is a mix of magic and romance, treachery, high comedy and wonderful poetry – all combined in one of Shakespeare’s last and greatest plays.

In complete contrast The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s earliest and most madcap of comedies. Two sets of identical twins, masters and their servants, are separated Rainbow Shakespeare returns to Worthing’s Highdown Gardens this month for a fourteenth magnificent year, with two outstanding comedies – The Tempest and The Comedy of Errors, both directed by Nick Young. Rainbow’s Company of professional actors prides itself on breaking down any barriers between audience and players – making Shakespeare understandable and enjoyable to young and old alike.

The Tempest is the tale of Prospero (played by Mark Bodicoat, pictured), thrown out of his kingdom with his baby daughter, and washed

at birth. And when one master and servant turn up, unknowing, in the town where their twin brothers are living, and all is confusion and hilarity.

Rainbow Shakespeare aims to entertain and inspire audiences from all over Sussex.

The Tempest plays from Tuesday July 19 to Sunday July 24 and The Comedy of Errors from Tuesday July 26 to Sunday July 31. Evening performances are at 7.30pm (gates open at 6.30pm for picnics), matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm) For tickets call Worthing Theatres box office on 01903 206206.

Sand spectacular in Littlehampton If you’re a dab hand at sandcastles, why not stretch your talents even further and enter the Sandcastle Competition on Littlehampton Seafront? It’s not just about castles. Now’s your chance to design your own sand sculpture – the more wacky and incredible the better!

There are 3 categories – Under 5s, Under 11s and Over 11s. The winners in each category will win goodie bags courtesy of Harbour Park, Inspire Leisure, Action Boat and Littlehampton Miniature Railway.

It’s all happening next month, on Monday August 8, If sand isn’t your thing and you prefer to shop – check out Littlehampton Market.

It’s happening every Friday in St Martin’s car park from 9am to 4pm. There’s free car parking for up to two hours in most of the Town Centre car parks – so don’t forget to display your disk.

so there’s plenty of time to think up some great ideas.

Registration is from 11am, with the main event from 12 noon to 1pm.

10 Essential Pets

The kindest cut Worthing Animal Clinic has its own special Dog Neutering Fund

Having your dog neutered at an early age is one of the best things you can do for him or her, says Worthing Animal Clinic – but the cost involved is not within everyone’s budget.

That’s why they set up a special fund in 2008 to subsidise these vital operations – available to bitches up to one year old and dogs up to two years old. The cost of neutering varies by sex and weight, but broadly speaking the subsidy amounts to about 25% of the already subsidised clinic charges.

The fund is used regularly but the available cash has fallen to a very low level and, without replenishment, there is only enough money left for another dozen or so operations.

The Clinic desperately needs benefactors, both charitable organisations and private donors, to help increase the fund. This will enable them to provide at least another five years of subsidised operations. And, despite offering this heavily-subsidised service to dog owners, they are still not seeing enough requests for male or female neutering (castrating or spaying). Last year they treated only 48 cases – a tiny number when you consider the total dog population of Lancing, Worthing and Littlehampton.

Whether you love dogs, cats, rabbits or all three – please remember, prevention is always better than cure.

We provide... subsidised veterinary treatment to pets of local

Although receiving fees, we rely heavily on donations and legacies to cover our costs. Further subsidies are available towards micro-chipping, neutering and vaccinating puppies and kittens, and towards major treatments or referrals beyond owners’ means. We carry out some 4,000 consultations and 500 operations a year, using extensive equipment and facilities and helping prevent animal suffering and ill-health

For more information about neutering your pet, or to make a donation to this worthwhile

fund, call Worthing Animal Clinic on 01903 202248.

Prevent those parasites The right type of flea and worm control for cats is vital, say Cat’s Whiskers Veterinary Clinic

It’s tempting to think all animal fleas can be treated with one product, but some dog flea treatments are highly toxic to cats.

Even using them on dogs living with cats is inadvisable, so check with your vet before buying.

Why treat cats for fleas? Fleas feed on blood, so in young kittens can cause weakness, anaemia and death. Allergy to flea bites causes cats to scratch excessively or develop skin disease. It’s unpleasant for humans sensitive to flea bites too. The flea – which can transmit infectious agents causing serious illness – also carries the larval stage of the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum so your cats can become infested with the worm while grooming themselves.

Why is worm control important? The most common intestinal worms infecting cats – roundworms and tapeworms – can cause weight loss, vomiting and diarrhoea, irritation around

the anus and failure to thrive.

Many cats show no symptoms until heavily infected. Infestations in people – though rare – can have serious health implications, so owners should be aware and have pets treated.

Prevention is better than cure. There are some excellent prescription parasite control products. Some prevent fleas, worms, ticks and mites – such as ear mites and mange mites – in one easy-to-apply spot on dose. Even indoor cats need parasite prevention, as owners and other animals can bring parasites into the home.

Fleas survive cold weather in centrally heated homes so Cat’s Whiskers recommend year-round parasite protection.

They’ll discuss each individual cat’s parasite prevention requirements – considering lifestyle and risk – and provide all treatments as part of their Pet Health Plans.

Cat’s Whiskers Veterinary Clinic at 125 South Farm Road, is open 6 days a week with a 24 hour emergency service.

Call 01903 830 577, email info@ cwvet.co.uk or visit www. cwvet.co.uk for information and help.

A Message in Stone Carved stone has the capacity to carry a message through many ages, says Tracy Steel at H D Tribe

Words cut into stone can tell us something of our time, where we have been and where we are going. We can leave ideas and inspiration from our time for people to see long after we are gone. We cut letters in stone to make them last, and we want them to last because the words chosen are so important to us.

The use of language and the words we choose are important and demonstrate our need to mark a point in time and leave something of ourselves behind.

Churchyards, cemeteries and their memorials are one of

the most valuable sources of local history – telling a story more vividly than many written records. And taking a walk around them brings back the past in a very special way.

At H D Tribe our team of highly experienced and creative masons design and prepare memorials of great beauty. These talented craftsmen take pride in their finished work, ensuring that it is of the highest quality.

If you’re choosing a memorial for a loved one, we’ll help you make the very best choice. Our showroom at 26 South Street, Lancing is open 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.

Our stonemasons undertake a wide range of work, including headstones, tablets, books, pet plaques, wall plaques, renovations and general maintenance. Call 01903 764426 for more information, or email stonemasons@hdtribe.co.uk .

Breathe life into your memories says Simon at Animare Photo Books

Everyone has a box of old photos in their house or attic, probably taken before the digital age – on film and slides, and all kinds of shapes and sizes. They may be in good condition, but are more likely to be damaged and decayed. However, they are unique, never to be repeated and impossible to replace.

That’s where Animare Photo Books can help. We take your precious old photos and breathe life into them through repair and restoration and recreate them in the pages of a contemporary and beautifully designed digital photo book. It’s a unique way of capturing your memories and also allows you to combine those photos with the

words and text you remember about each image.

We visit you at home and spend time helping you decide which photos you want to include. We then scan, repair and edit them to bring them back to life and revisit you to ensure everything is perfect before your book is produced.

The books themselves are beautifully made and are UV varnish protected so they are safe from heat, fingerprints and scratches. Using heavy duty card maintains the unique touch of photographic paper, giving your book a luxurious feel and is durable enough to stand the test of time.

Essential Dr Sarah 19

Dr Sarah has the last word…

Do you ever wonder when you see a badly-turned-out celebrity who on earth, out of their vast entourage, is advising them?

I had similar thoughts when David Cameron started talking about reforming the Welfare system to benefit people whose need was “no fault of their own.” Did he think this one up all on his own, or did he sneak it under the speech-writers’ radar when they weren’t looking?

On the face of it, the idea does have some appeal. “Yes,” we heckle, “why should we,

Fault Line

Who exactly are the “needy”? asks Dr Sarah Honess the workers, graft so that a nation of ne’er-do-wells can sit on the sofa eating pies, smoking fags and drinking lager we have paid for? Why should our taxes pay for flat screen TVs, new cars, gastric bands and quadruple by-passes? Why should we struggle so hard to make ends meet and pay through the nose for all those who take no responsibility and make all the wrong choices?”

Why indeed? The Shameless stereotype probably does exist, but perhaps not to the extent that a morning watching Jeremy Kyle would have us believe.

We are not born equal, but we are all born blameless.

Attributing the notion of ‘blame’ and ‘deserving’ takes us right back to the poorhouse mentality of yesteryear. Blame and entitlement in the field

of Health and Welfare are simplistic concepts and an unhelpful diversion to the real issue of Need.

People who need help, regardless of why they need it, should get it. People who can work, should work regardless of whether they want to or not.

Am I, as a yummy-mummy, on a skiing holiday in Gstaad (as if!) – more deserving of being airlifted off a mountain because I have sprained my ankle than an alcoholic who has fallen over drunk? I was skiing (my fault), he was drunk (his fault). It is wrong to take a moral view on the behaviour that led to the health need at the point of care.

It is not my job to treat patients according to their moral worth. I don’t have to like them or care what happens to them after they leave, but I do

have to do a good job by them according to their need.

It would be nice if we were all perfect, lived blameless lives and made all the right choices all the time. Life is not like that and it delivers bum deals to many. If we sit in judgement on others we are likely to have been born lucky enough to have the money and the education to make the right choices. We should share our good fortune, not by pointing the finger of blame, but by trying to make our communities more equitable, or indeed by questioning the legitimacy of those in positions of power and influence through no merit of their own.

Dr Sarah trained in Medicine at King’s College, London, and now works in the Emergency Department at Worthing Hospital.

Our care staff recognise that everyone has different social, recreational and therapeutic needs and therefore our care plans and activities are based around individual preferences.

We aim to provide a service that enables residents to remain independent for as long as possible by providing emotional and practical support for residents and their families.

Not only that, we will throw in a lot of fun and laughter along the way!
