Welcome to our
SEPTEMBER ISSUE
I hope you all enjoyed a great summer. We had a lovely break here at the Look Local office and we are all feeling refreshed and raring to go again! It’s the time of year for new school shoes and pencil cases, for some to start school and for some to leave, for many older students to fly the nest and head to pastures new, a time of many changes... We wish you all lots of luck with your new adventures! We are delighted to share our images of this years fantastic Village Day within. A little later than previous years but well worth the wait, I hope you agree! I really enjoyed chatting to a very nice gentleman with a very well known voice during the summer. David ‘Kid’ Jensen lives locally and we met for a coffee and chatted about his action packed career, I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed hearing all about it ! David has kindly agreed to write a regular music column for Look Local. I am really looking forward to that starting in our next issue. The Mole Valley Quilters are preparing for an autumn exhibition in the village! I shared coffee with two passionate patch workers and heard all about their forthcoming event!
I h o p e yo u e n j oy o u r S e p t e m b e r I s s u e Until next time take care,

Mr DJ...
I recently enjoyed chatting to a charming man who has a very well known and distinctive voice! A voice which in fact, I am sure many of you would recognise in an instant and one which could so often be heard in my car, my kitchen and at my friends houses in my formative years.
The owner of this famous voice was none other than Mr David Jenson. Formally known as the DJ David Kid Jensen, David and his family have lived happily in Esher for 37 years and as we ordered our coffee we started exchanging thoughts on the lovely local restaurants and also some of our favourite dog walking spots! It turns out that actually, we both enjoyed talking about our dogs quite a lot! However I felt there were probably other subjects we should cover for the purpose of our feature! So we moved the conversation along & started to chat about David’s amazing career and some of the fascinating people he’s met along the way... That voice/accent I mentioned earlier originates from Vancouver, where David grew up. At school he enjoyed public speaking, and probably started honing his announcing skills even then as president of the Student Council. He also played the trumpet and a little piano but although he loved music and knew he wanted to be involved, becoming a musician wasn’t his calling. When an opportunity to present and make announcements on a classical radio station came up, he jumped at the chance! The show was sponsored by a local funeral director, and announcements took the form of funeral details and arrangements with regard to flowers or donations! The show was
rather strangely named ‘Music for dinning’ I’m sure you can guess what I thought David was going to say it was called! It was here that David met a former Radio Caroline DJ and through this meeting another opportunity arose for David to move on and present a Teen Scene show. At this stage he was still only 16 or 17 years old! During this time David began to really enjoy being a DJ and having been inspired by seeing a scrap book of a fellow presenter showing a whole selection of famous musicians he’d met, he felt it was time to take action. He took a Gap year from his education and started by sending out a ten minute demo tape to a handful of radio stations, including Radio One and Radio Luxembourg. Within a few days Radio Luxembourg came back to him with a job offer on the condition that he could start within the next 96 hours! He packed his bag and off he went! It was here he acquired the nick name ‘David Kid Jenson’ due to the fact that he was the youngest DJ in Europe. Paul Burnett was the name giver but I’m sure neither of them knew just how long it would stick around! Noel Edmonds was also starting out at Luxembourg at the time, he was about 19. In fact all three DJs ended up
working at Radio One later in their careers. From here David’s career really took off ... It wasn’t long before he could be heard presenting regularly on Radio One. In 1980 an offer from the head of CBS in Atlanta caught his interest, so along with his wife Gudrun and young family, he headed off on another adventure! This job was connected to CNN and Turner Broadcasting and although it was a very exciting time and provided an amazing life style for the family, it wasn’t long before they all missed the UK. Offers from the UK soon came, following a stint on Radio 4 presenting a Religious affairs programme which David found fascinating, he was soon being invited back to Radio One. It was at this time that David formed a firm friendship with one of my own personal heroes, the amazing Mr John Peel. The two formed a great team and went on to co-host live screenings of Top of the Pops regularly. After a while a new exciting London station was beckoning. The early days of Capital Radio have left David with so many fantastic memories ... He worked alongside many great radio presenters such as Kenny Everett, Michael Aspel, Roger Scott and Graham Dene to name but a few. In the early days the DJ’s chose their own play lists and David loved the freedom to promote so many new sounds. Over the years he has interviewed virtually all the big names, even touring for a week with The Rolling Stones; interviewing The Beatles and watching them perform on the roof of their Savile Row HQ in London. Presenting a review show with guests George Harrison and Michael Jackson was one highlight for sure! Another, was when on tour with The Rolling Stones their plane
was grounded due to ice and as a result they all got out and played football together to pass the time! David said he remembers thinking ‘If my mates could see me now! Playing football on a snowy runway with The Rolling Stones!’ ‘Kid Jensen’s ‘chart show was very well regarded in the industry; apparently Kenny Everett recorded every single chart show David presented. He neatly labeled them all and filed them in order in his home recording studio! A true compliment indeed. David said that he was always surprised to find out that massive stars like Jimmy Hendrix & Bill Wyman listened to his shows. He said he was glad he didn’t know at the time or he’d have been so nervous! These days David has a slightly quieter time, enjoying life in Surrey with his family. He still keeps his hand in and recently presented shows on Surrey & Sussex Radio. I really enjoyed meeting David Jensen, he is a genuinely charming guy with so many interesting stories to tell. Very kindly, he has offered to write a regular music column for Look Local Magazine - I’m delighted! Look out next month for the first of his insightful inclusions.
Thank you so much for your time David it really was a pleasure sharing coffee with you.

CAR REVIEW Marriages, so the saying goes, are made in Heaven. Well not the one I am about to describe! The one for which I was only too happy to be matchmaker - Italy was its setting. The pairing, a handsome macho eyecatcher and a real stunner of style and elegance, made for a memorable link I shall treasure for a good while. The pairing? Beauty and the beast. The beast? A Jaguar F-type. The beauty? The exquisite Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni on the water’s edge of Bellagio, Lake Como. I drove the mightily powerful Jaguar to Italy with Trophy Wife who was on duty at a Milan fashion show buying for her boutique and we opted for a stopover at the Serbelloni. And if the unashamedly admiring glances the F-type stirred in its show-off setting parked in front of the ritzy Serbelloni were anything to go by it was the perfect match! There is no doubt in my mind that the new F-for-fabulous Jaguar is the best car they have made for decades. A hark back to the glory days of the resonant E-type, with its trombone-sized exhausts, it heralds a signature tune of sound to thrill. For my money, quid-for-quid, mph-formph,mpg-for-mpg , the eagerly responsive and utterly safe F-type, as good looking and
comfy as they come, is just the car to rival the twice-as-pricey Ferraris and Astons. It begs the question: why pay an absolute fortune for a car whose performance and style can be equalled for a fraction of the cost of the so-called, mainly foreign, supercars? The F’s responses to my urgent demands for quick overtaking bursts on the autoroutes and its balance along the dodgy narrow lakeside lanes were real confidence boosters. In a choice between the V6S - my tester and the V8,I’d go for the more economical V6S which strikes the best balance and has all the kit and technology you need for a few grand less. I have owned three E-types, one after the other, and if I’d been blessed with the foresight to hold onto them and sell them at today’s value you wouldn’t be reading this because I wouldn’t have been around to write it! I’d be permanently ensconced in the Michelin-starred Serbelloni, with its mountain and lake view restaurant and movie star guests like George Clooney, with TW...

BACK TO SCHOOL/UNIVERSITY
NOTEBOOK BUYERS GUIDE
Most schools and universities expect their students to have access to a computer and the internet for homework and coursework. To help you make the correct decision when buying a machine we have drawn up some ideas on what to look for in a notebook and to explain a bit about the terminology. The term laptop or notebook refers to exactly the same machine type, this is a portable PC which can be battery powered. Typically these machines have a display size ranging from 12” to 19” diagonal, with 15.6” being the most popular. Typically a notebook will run off battery power for around 2-4 hours, however, some are now able to run for 8 hours between charges. The average 15.6” notebook will have an inbuilt DVD drive for loading software, film playback and data backup, the smaller machines tend not to have an inbuilt DVD drive, but an external drive can be added. If the machine is running Windows 7 or 8 you’ll need to ensure it has 4Gb ram or more, also ensure the machine has a minimum of 200Gb hard drive, wireless networking. A webcam is often very useful and are almost always inbuilt. The processor or CPU cannot easily and economically be changed, therefore get the best and fastest for your needs. A Celeron, Celeron dual core CPU has limited performance, so if your needs are for word processing and basic internet work it will be ideal, but for more powerful demands it will struggle. For general needs we would recommend the Dual Core, Core i3 and Core i5 processors, for more demanding needs like design and creative work we would recommend the i5 or i7 based processor. Currently we have a range of Core i5 notebooks which are about the same price as the Core i3’s, so buying the Core i5 is a better decision! Typically a good quality, high spec notebook would cost you from £290, but please look at our advert or call in for some great offers we currently have.
The latest notebook design is the super slim, superfast Ultrabook, it enjoys higher performance, longer running battery life and is much smaller and lighter. The Acer V5 is a fantastic example and will only cost £519.00 It is probable that you will also need a printer, antivirus software and the latest Microsoft Office software. If you would like more info or advice contact us, our opening hours are Mon - Sat 9:00-5:30

MEDICAL MATTERS!!
D I A B E T E S & E X E R C I S E Exercise goes hand in hand with diet in the management of diabetes. This is one factor we know that can make an astounding impact on insulin resistance. Just 15 minutes of exercise can re- sensitise your body to use your insulin more efficiently for several hours. Personally I have witnessed significant improvements in diabetes control with a relatively modest increase in exercise with some of my patients. Most people however groan when exercise is mentioned & seem to assume that I mean long & boring (to some!) sessions at an expensive Gym. Not at all! I try to actively dissuade patients from joining the Gym unless they particularly want to. What we are talking about is really just moving more, being more active, getting off the bus a stop early, taking the stairs instead of the lift .....things we are all aware of. This makes a difference . However what this doesn’t necessarily achieve is a good cardiovascular workout. Even so there are some simple ways of achieving this too. We should all be aiming for 15-20 minutes of exercise at least 5 times a week whereby our heart rate is raised & maintained for that time. Housework, walking to work, taking a walk at lunchtime all can make an impact. Make your exercise work for you. Exercise can also energise us, lift our mood, lower our blood pressure. A little word of advise though. If you are being treated with insulin or Gliclazide just be aware that an increase in exercise may lower your blood sugar level too much & you may need some advise on how to best manage this please speak to your GP or Nurse if you experience any problems.

Q uilters MOLE VALLEY
I recently met up with Marilyn and Sue of Mole Valley Quilters . We enjoyed a coffee together whilst they told me about their organisation which has a monthly meeting for members and visitors in the Harrison Room of The Bookham Barn Hall on the 1st Thursday of each month at 7.30pm. A group of local ladies started quilting together in the late 1970’s which led to the Mole Valley Quilters being formed in the early 1980’s. Members come mainly from Bookham, Effingham, Ashtead and Leatherhead areas. They enjoy the meetings which often have a speaker booked to talk about their work or to run a mini workshop usually on a particular technique. The Mole Valley Quilters do not see themselves as a teaching group, as there are several local good quilt shops that do this so well, however amongst their 50 or so members they do have experienced quilters who can offer help. As well as their monthly meeting, throughout the year they hold their AGM, Summer Lunch and Christmas Party and a members meeting to “show and tell” and put together quilts. On October 24 and 25, St. Nicholas Church in Bookham is the splendid setting for the 2014 Exhibition of work by Mole Valley Quilters. Light and airy with space for large and small items the Church provides the ideal space for showing the art and craft of quilting to its best effect.
As well as the Avenue of Quilts, Christmas will be celebrated In the Alter and Choir, the Lady Chapel will display items related to the theme “Home Sweet Home” and along the pew ends you will find examples of the Exhibition Members Challenge on the theme of “ Autumn”. A vintage quilt (circa 1850’s), recently appraised by the curator of the UK Quilt Museum, will also be on show. Tea, coffee and cake can be enjoyed in the Church Room with profits from the refreshments going to the local charity The Rainbow Trust. Throughout each day there will be quilting demonstrations, live chats ‘on the story of my quilt’ and the opportunity for visitors to choose the quilt they think should receive the Visitors Choice Award. The bed quilt made by the Mole Valley Quilters members for the exhibition raffle will be on display. Members voted to support Surrey Air Ambulance with the proceeds from the raffle which will be drawn just before the close of the Exhibition. Pupils from St. Lawrence School and Manor House School have taken part in the ‘Design a Clown for a Quilted Block’ community project. All entries will be on display in the Church. The Exhibition will be opened at noon on 24 October by Assistant Curate Barbara McDonald. The entrance fee is Adults £2, Children no charge and the Exhibition Guide is 50p. Opening hours: Friday 24 October noon to 5pm, Saturday 25 October 9am to 4pm.

GARDENING MATTERS This month, region of origin, oh so many. Without further ado… Region of origin, whether county, state or geographic area - especially if there is a particular geological distinction - is also widespread, and the plant will be uniquely from there: eg if a mountain range is represented, such as pyrenaeus or himalayense, there’s a high probability that it is an alpine, or at least fairly hardy, and will grow in temperate climates. It will probably also like sharp drainage, of the type it would have in the mountains. Many of the areas are fairly small – eg cornubiensis (Cornwall) - and therefore there are only a couple of names. By contrast, regions such as California (californicus) have a huge plant population and may have more names than many countries. Once again, the species name will give a hint as to the required conditions: anything with ‘cornubiensis’ will probably also survive well in other parts of the UK, but one described as ‘californicus’ is likely to need winter protection over here. Sometimes, plant names are not spelt as expected. pensylvanicus’, meaning ‘from Pennsylvania’ lost an ‘n’ when it was first used and never regained it. There are many towns and villages which have given their names to plants species, although most have only given rise to 1 or 2, and so you don’t see them much. Very often, out-of-the-way little villages were the only thing for miles around, and the plant hunters
had no choice but to use them as pointers for the plants they’d just discovered. Even the bigger towns often only have 1 or 2 plants. Sometimes, the name is adapted from the existing town name – eg stevenagensis, Stevenage being the original breeding ground for Gentiana stevenagensis - but with older towns, such as York (eboracensis), Exeter (exoniensis), Paris (lutetianus) or Buenos Aires (bonariensis), the old Roman name was brought into use. Other examples of this are Vienna (vindobonensis), Naples (neapolitanus) and Marseille (massiliensis). In addition, many plants have been named after specific gardens. This is mainly in the cultivar names: eg Pulmonaria officinalis ‘Sissinghurst White’ is named after Sissinghurst Castle, the famous garden in Kent belonging to Vita Sackville-West. However, sometimes the garden appears as a specific name and is then Latinised: Warley Place, once a very famous Edwardian garden belonging to Ellen Willmott, has led to the name warleyensis (and Miss Wilmott herself is immortalised in both Iris and Ceratostigma willmottiana). But the garden which has had the most plants named after it is almost certainly Kew, with the description ‘kewensis’, although most of these are hybrids which occurred there, rather than species. The whole business of nomenclature fascinates me. Despite a rather rapid romp through these names, I hope I’ve managed to pull you into this fascinating world a little too. Next time: animals!

Mole Veterans Brass Band Brass music is still alive and thriving in our area, with local bands such as The Cobham Band, The Mole Valley Silver Band and The Epsom & Ewell Silver Band. These three bands often help each other out by offering a stand in if a certain player is required for a ‘gig’! It’s all very friendly! Mole Veterans Brass Bands was established in recent years. It’s aim is to maintain music playing for those who may have more time available in retirement and who can provide many years of experience, whilst at the same time continuung their love and enjoyment of making music together for the benefit of the community.
44
The band is of course, available for paid engagements during the daytime but by way of giving back to the community they also commit to performing a number (3 or 4) of free concerts a year. Refreshments are included at these events and are kindly provided by one very keen band supporter! More info about the band is available from the band secretary Mr John Cook on
01372 459596.
If you fancy joining the band or going to listen to them play - do get in touch! Their website is: www.moleveteransband.org.uk

SURREY POLICE NOTICE
Neil Clarke, 13363 Neighbourhood Team Co-ordinator In spite of many people taking sensible precautions to protect their homes and property, we have seen a disappointing rise in the number of reports received relating to domestic burglaries. The key points to remember is that burglars like to work unobserved and as quickly as possible. Most burglars tend to be opportunistic; i.e. they see a vulnerable property and take a chance on seeing if they can gain easy access to steal. The majority of burglars gain access from insecure premises via the ground floor at the rear of a property; the simplest deterrent is to make these common access points as secure as possible. Obviously, this means ensuring that doors and windows are securely locked when you are not at home but there are some other simple things to consider which can make your home less “desirable” as a target. The first is the external visibility of your home. A clear line of sight from the roadside to the front of your home is a natural deterrent as there is a reduced opportunity for a burglar to work unobserved. Also, the installation of some simple dusk till dawn lighting at the front of your property removes pools of shadow which are very popular with burglars who want to avoid being seen. I don’t mean motion activated high intensity lighting – just low level lighting that provides good visibility and conveys an impression that your home is occupied. Side gates need to be high enough to deter climbing and preferably secured with bolts or a padlock lower down on the door or gate, to minimise the chances of someone being able to lean over and unbolt the gate. Avoid placing wheelie bins near back gates too, as they make a
very useful climbing aid. Consider registering your property on a free National database such as Immobilise. This is a secure system where you can register any of your property and even upload photographs of items. Check out Immobilise.com or contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team, who can provide guidance and practical support in getting you started with registering your property. You could also consider using forensic property marking on any items of value, from laptops and bikes to paintings and jewellery. When any items are recovered from suspects of burglaries, it is checked to see if there is any forensic marking on items and this is a really helpful way of getting items returned to their rightful owners. With garden sheds, always make sure that they are locked and secured, preferably with a sturdy padlock and consider painting any gardening equipment with your postcode and house number. This makes items far less desirable to a would-be thief. If you are considering installing an alarm system, I would suggest that you get a few quotes and check out the advice available on the NACOSS website, which can give impartial information about the various types of alarm systems that are available. Even a simple audible alarm, with clear signage to show that you have a security system in place is an excellent deterrent. If you would like further advice or even a free, impartial home security review then you can always contact me direct, either by phone to 101 Extension 30809, or by email to Neil.Clarke@surrey.pnn.police.uk
“Go The Extra Mile,
Help Beat Alzheimers�
10k sponsored memory walk for Alzheimers Society on Saturday 6th September 2014.
The walk will begin and end at the main car park at Polesden Lacey & be over the surrounding Surrey countryside. We hope to have at least 50 people walking & to raise £5000 for research to beat dementia, as well as finding better ways for caring for those who have it. Taking part in this event will not only help to raise funds for research to beat dementia, but also offers a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the world beyond our own community & at the same time, do something that enables us to get to know each other a little better – with the opportunity of tea & cake at the Polesden Lacey cafÊ at the end! For more info regarding the walk, contact mary@sherringtonfamily.com or 01372 452987. Donations can be made via the Just Giving page: www.justgiving.comGoTheExtraMile50

BRA at Bookham Village Day
The popular BRA Bookstall has been gracing the BCA Village day for the last twelve years. The first year produced an income of approximately £200 which steadily increased up to last year with a figure of £2,040. Bookshops have been in the news lately because they are not selling so many books & our income may have peaked as this year the BRA made a lower figure of £1,654. Up to 2009 all the proceeds went to the Barn Hall (BCA) but since 2009 the BRA keeps half of the proceeds to go towards the village Christmas lights. John “Mr Bookstall” Allen is standing down from organising the event on Village Day & therefore the BRA needs a volunteer to take
60
over from John to organise & run the event on Village Day. Tony Alsbury manages the stock during the year so it is for the event itself that a volunteer is needed. John will be happy to pass on his accumulated knowledge so you won’t be starting from scratch. Anyone willing to take over please email
publicity@bookhamresidents.org.uk mailto:publicity@bookhamresidents.org.uk or call 0300 030 9890
We also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank John & his wife Gillian for their efforts in managing the Bookstall & the funds that have been raised for good causes in the village.
