Staying up to date

by Alan Stainer

Staying up to date is one of those phrases that has a dual meaning for me. On the one hand it can refer to the fact that technology is constantly changing, so that I have to keep myself up to date with everything that is going on. On the other hand, it refers to the requirement for all of us to make sure that we keep our software up to date. It’s that second explanation that I am going to talk about now.

There are two main reasons why we should keep software up to date. The first is that software vendors often add new features and fix bugs, which is nice. It is most definitely not the most important reason though, as the second one is really big. Vendors often release security updates to patch vulnerabilities. That’s a technical way of saying, it helps to keep your computer safe from viruses and hackers.

Before you all rush ahead and install every update you come across, remember this very important bit of information. A lot of malware (nasty malicious software) will trick you into doing things by prompting you to install an update. So check that it is genuine software you use before clicking on that OK button. www.alansitsolutions.com

Sussex Snippets Influential business partnership, Coastal West Sussex Partnership has said that the entire stretch of the A27 in West Sussex should be dualled and treated as one project and that Highways England’s piecemeal approach to the A27 was working against a viable long term solution to the crucial road link.

The Coastal West Sussex Partnership is a businessled body formed to develop the region with a central mission to ensure the area is well connected to support sustainable economic growth.

Now that the Bonfire season is on its way, Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital is urging anyone planning a bonfire – whether at home or a community bonfire event - to be more aware of hedgehogs before lighting their pile. They advise not constructing bonfire piles until the day of the festivities or, if a large bonfire needs to be built in advance, that they are surrounded by chicken wire, secured at an angle so hedgehogs cannot climb, and ask that before lighting, bonfires are checked for any signs of sleeping hogs.

SUSSEX LOCAL Hospice Care Week is an annual week of activity that helps change people’s perceptions and raises the profile of hospice care across the UK, and this year it takes place over the week of 9-15 October. There are many ways you can support your local hospice, St Barnabas House, during Hospice Care Week - you could hold a fundraising event, pledge to volunteer, make a donation, visit one of their charity shops, or simply join in with the conversation on social media. www.stbh.org.uk/hospicecareweek If you have a child due to start school in September 2018 the application process will begin on Monday 2nd October - the key points of the application process are – applications can be made between 2nd October 2017 and 15 January 2018; parents/carers can apply online; Special rules apply for house movers until 15th February; an Information for Parents booklet will be available on the website from 2nd October. Parents are actively encouraged to apply by the closing date, as applications made after this date cannot be considered until all on time applications have been processed, which may mean it is not possible to offer a child a place at a local school. 03330 142 903 www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions For the first time, and just in time for Halloween, an exotic fungi known as devil’s fingers or octopus stinkhorn, has been recorded on a Sussex Wildlife Trust (SWT) nature reserve. Native to the Antipodes, the fungi is believed to have been introduced into Europe in military supplies in 1914, and is characterised by tentacle like arms that eventually reach a length five to ten centimetres and are covered in a brown foulsmelling secretion that attract flies that help to disperse the fungi’s spores. If you spot this amazing fungus, please let SWT know. For more details please visit, www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk Employers in the county are being challenged to change attitudes and behaviours around mental health in workplaces – by signing up to an employer pledge – and businesses are being invited to a Time to Change West Sussex employers' event on World Mental Health Day, 13th October, to hear about the pledge and how it is already changing how people think and act about mental health in the workplace.

Time to Change is a government-supported movement to change attitudes and behaviours around mental health across the UK, and earlier this year, West Sussex became one of the first counties to become a Time to Change hub.

Runners Join Trekkers Challenge

Local charity St Barnabas House’s annual South Downs Trek will be open to runners as well as trekkers for the first time this year. The trek takes place on Saturday 7th October, when participants set off from Devil’s Dyke at 8am on a challenging 21 mile route over the South Downs, taking in views of the Sussex countryside, before finishing at St Barnabas House in Goring-by-Sea. The first person to register for the South Downs Trek Run was Cordelia O’Neill, 34, who now lives in Glasgow but grew up in Steyning where her mum still lives. Cordelia completed the Brighton Half Marathon in February 2017, running in memory of her father, Tom O’Neill, who received end of life care from St Barnabas House in 2016. Registration costs £25 per person, which includes a fundraising pack, transportation to the route start, lunch, refreshments, a souvenir medal, South Downs Trek t-shirt and glass of bubbly at the finish line.

Participants are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £250, which goes towards fund the specialist palliative care, both at the hospice and in the comfort of patients homes across West Sussex. www.stbh.org.uk/southdownsrun

Books Under Spotlight Two Shoreham Beach authors – Liz Coward and Patrick Souiljaert – will join forces to talk about their acclaimed and recently published books.

The titles “Stairs for Breakfast” and “Screw It, I'll Take The Elevator” by Patrick Souiljaert are a search for self-awareness, achievement, acceptance and love.

His books are described as: humorous, honest and occasionally self-deprecating.

“Blood and Bandages – fighting for life in the RAMC Field Ambulance 19401946” by Liz Coward, tells the story of William Earl, now aged 102, who left a sweetheart and new-born son, to serve as a frontline Army nursing orderly in North Africa and Italy. The book exposes the neglected but vital aspect of the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War Two. The event will be held on 14th October at 7.30pm at St Peter’s Church, West Street Shoreham-by-Sea. Tickets are £5 (£3 with concessions) on the door.

Cigarette Butts Ballot A novel way to encourage smokers to dispose of their cigarette ends properly is being trialled in Worthing town centre. A ‘ballot bin’ has been fixed to a post at the taxi rank in Chapel Road and invites smokers to vote on a simple question by putting their cigarette ends in one of two slots.

The first question being asked is whether Brighton and Hove Albion will survive their first season in the Premier League. The ballot bin comes ten years after smoking was banned in enclosed public places in England. Although the number of smokers has fallen by nearly two million across the UK during that time, discarded cigarette ends have become a scourge as people have to venture outdoors to light up. Councillor Diane Guest, Worthing’s Executive Member for Environment said: "This is a fun way of getting across a serious point. Cigarette ends are the most littered items and blight our town centres.”

Colonnade House’s Textile Exhibition New Beginnings is the first group exhibition of newly founded contemporary quilt and textile art group Curious Threads, based in Southwick, with members from the surrounding East and West Sussex area. Members include textile artists who exhibit internationally in Europe and the US as well as those just commenc-

ing their textile journey. Comprising twelve members, the textile art combines a mixture of quilting, printing, multi-media and stitch embroidery.

The exhibition runs from 24th to 28th October, from 10am-4pm daily, and includes work from three separate group challenges and is a rich demonstration of variety, helping to cement together a new group of people who are all looking to provide quality textile work in an exciting manner. 01903 221293 www.colonnadehouse.co.uk

Clutter Free Zones in Worthing Worthing’s Warwick Street has become a clutter-free zone under new plans from Worthing Borough Council.

The local authority has received a number of complaints from shoppers and wheelchair users that they are unable to get from A to B due to the amount of street furniture in the town centre.

In order to maintain access for all, local businesses will now be asked to apply for a licence to place items like A-Boards and outdoor seating in the public highway. www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/streets-and-travel/

Cashing in your pension to buy property?

By Richard Cohen FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner The property vs pension debate never seems to go away. Despite the massive tax penalties associated with property some people are still looking to “cash in” their pension to buy an investment property. The numbers just don’t add up, just look at the following.

Let’s assume you have a fund of £200,000. You can have 25% tax free with the remainder being added to your income in the year or years that you take it. If you took the whole £150,000 in one go, you are going to lose your personal allowance, meaning some of that income is taxed at 60% and if you have any other income at all some of it will be taxed at the additional rate of 45%.

finding yourself, never have a month without a tenant nor a repair bill, that gives you £7,200 per year. Of course, the income is taxable so, assuming you’re a basic rate tax payer you are left with after tax income of £5,760, or a net yield on your starting amount after tax 2.88%.

However, if you plan carefully and take the income over a couple of tax years you may only pay 40% tax on the income. This means you are left with £90,000 from the taxable portion, which leaves a total fund after tax of £140,000. Then you find a property to buy, with stamp duty (including the 3% surcharge for a second property) and solicitor’s fees to pay, realistically you can buy something around £134,000. Locally that buys you a one bed flat that will rent for around £600 per month. If we assume you don’t pay an agent, do all the management work and tenant

To make things worse you are now dependent on the fortunes of one person for your entire non-state retirement income. If they lose their job you likely lose your income too! Compared to a diversified portfolio of bonds, shares and property held through a pension and with the income drawn tax efficiently through “phased drawdown” cashing in your pension and buying a property may easily be the biggest financial mistake you could make.

Interview with Russell Hastings plus win tickets!

Lynn Smith speaks to Bognor musician Russell Hastings, now a member of ‘From the Jam’ alongside Bruce Foxton.

It’s been a busy year for musician Russell Hastings.

Bognor Regis born and bred, Hastings has been touring, alongside The Jam’s Bruce Foxton, with their band From the Jam to celebrate not just one, but two musical anniversaries.

In fact Hastings can truly be said to be living the dream, having gone from successful, tribute artist to playing alongside his idols in a career that has taken him all over the world and currently sees him touring to mark the 35th anniversary of the Jam’s final studio album The Gift.

(Russell Hastings and Bruce Foxton - “From the Jam”

This year has also seen the band embark on the 40th anniversary tour of The Jam’s first studio album In the City – which included a visit to Hong Kong to play at the opening of the Rugby Sevens. But when I speak to Hastings he sounds relaxed, coming over as down to earth, passionate about his music and touring as well as being a veritable font of anecdotes, particularly when it comes to The Jam - the band he’s been a huge fan of since his brother brought home In the City, back in the seventies. Hastings began playing the guitar aged twelve, inspired by the punk explosion. (c) Derek D’Souza

Later he kicked off his musical career in Bognor Regis band Maximum High, and in the nineties was enjoying a successful career playing, amongst other songs, The Who and The Jam covers when he had his “lucky break.” Mike Rutherford, of Genesis, asked him to do backing vocals on a Mike & the Mechanics album and although the album was shelved, the experience led to Russell crossing paths with a number of musical icons, amongst them Ringo Starr and, significantly, The Jam’s Rick Buckler.

Rick and Russell became friends and when Rick decided he wanted to get back behind the drums again he asked Russell to join him. They toured as The Gift in 2006, one of their gigs being at Guildford University. Also on the bill was the Casbah Club featuring another member of The Jam, Bruce Foxton. Rick and Russell invited Bruce to join them on a couple of Jam songs, including Smithers Jones and Down in the Tube Station at Midnight; the audience loved seeing

28 Local People two members of The Jam playing together again and Bruce joined The Gift for a few more of their shows.

Russell remembers that, “News leaked out, gigs sold out and we attracted lots of press attention.”

Following this the three men met in a Surrey pub: “No management, just the three of us,” and decided to work together, with the result that in May 2007 From the Jam was launched. Rick Buckler left the band in 2009, and Mark Brzezicki, (Big Country, the Casbah Club) drummed with them for five years, before fellow Sussex lad Mike Randon took over in 2014.

Original Jam member Bruce Foxton

Hastings describes Bruce Foxton as his best friend and illustrates his down to earth approach to working with his musical idol by describing how sometimes the pair can get out of the car to find a crowd gathering around them and how he’ll wonder “what do these people want?” This neatly echoes a story Russell heard from The Jam’s touring days, when the band were driving past a venue they were due to play in Manchester that evening and, seeing the crowds outside, asked themselves: “Wonder who’s on there tonight?”

But best friend or not, surely there must be times when Hastings is on stage – singing and playing the Jam’s back catalogue alongside one of the band’s original members – and he has to pinch himself? The man’s reply is self deprecating. He has, he says “been doing it a long time now – longer than The Jam 3 were actually together – but I never take it for granted. As the shoes got more comfortable to wear my own voice came through.” Hastings does consider himself to be “very, very lucky,” but believes that even stronger than the band are the songs, which he feels, “belong to the public.” And From the Jam does have a fantastic array of material at its fingertips – the huge number of successful Jam songs, including four number one hits, and the critically acclaimed songs cowritten by Foxton and Hastings.

This begs the question, how, with such an extensive back catalogue at its disposal does the band decide upon a set list? The Gift tour will cover a lot of tracks from the album - including, Ghosts and The Gift, plus others that please the band and will certainly delight the fans.

As well as pleasing fans with Jam classics, From the Jam has produced two albums in the last four years, “Back in the Room” and “Smash the Clock,” both recorded in Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios. The Jam broke up in 1982, reportedly a less than amica-

ble event, so how does Hastings get on with the man who split The Jam? “Paul is,” Russell says, “nothing but gracious and kind, a sweet and lovely guy.” In fact Weller has played on a couple of the albums tracks, as have other musical icons such as Paul Jones and Wilko Johnson. A live album – the eponymous From the Jam Live – is due for release in December to mark The Gift Tour, which began on 22nd September and ends on 16th December at Brighton’s Concord2

The Jam was, undeniably, one of the biggest selling bands of its day and pretty much era defining, so who makes up the audience of a From the Jam gig these days? Russell says that the audience is very much a mixed bag, “As well as the hard-core Jam fans, (It’s) great to see 17, 18, 19 year olds in the crowd – the converted,” he laughs, “and they know all of the words.”

And what about the sound? The Jam was a threepiece known for a very full sound, and Hastings is emphatic that the band is true to the original sound, “No modern technology, except for in-ear monitors, and I hardly use any foot pedals. We just go out and

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib, Principle Designer of Glorious Gardens Dahlia Magic - The Largest Dahlia Collection in the UK on your doorstep Tucked away just outside Storrington along Fryern Rd is an amazing feat of horticulture -the UK’s largest Dahlia collection.

Run by the very passionate couple Phillip Godsmark and Mary-Ann Joyce, they grow literally thousands of Dahlias each year from seeds and tubers.

If you pass by in your car, or the local bus (Phillip swears that he has noticed more people sit on the side his farm is on so they can marvel) you will see fields of multi coloured blooms.

Though they grow mainly for cut flowers, each wedding normally requiring up to 300 blooms, Phillip’s real passion is creating new varieties. He bred Ryecroft Jan, a creamy white Pompon, which is currently one of the most popular Dahlia in the the world.

“I collect about 5000 seeds each year from the cream of the crop. I then grow the seeds, as well as take cuttings and divide tubers, and trial them for 5 years before I send them out as a new variety as I

want them to be world class. My favourite moment is when I walk down the rows and see what the seeds have grown into. I don't know what the bees have fertilised and cross pollinated so it is a complete surprise that I can’t predict. For every one new Dahlia that I discover I have planted 1000 seeds!”

Which is very true- top designers use Dahlias for their amazing colour variations and heights, especially billowing over from the back of the border. When Summer has peaked these flowers really do hold centre stage and can flower well into October and even November.

“Yes” says Mary Ann “and we have run out of females in the family to name them after. That one there is called Sam Sunset named after our little dog who died when still young. Jan was named after Phil’s late sister.”

Though they still exhibit at The National Dahlia Show at Wisley each year unfortunately for Phil and MaryAnn, discovering and growing on new discoveries is not very profitable. After a year, their ownership of the variety ends and then anyone can make a cutting a sell the variety on.

Phillip first came across Dahlias when he a boy.

“Like everyone else in the 1960’s, my father grew them. I still love their variation of size and colour and shape. There is no flower like them. A local nursery used to exhibit them. They went out of fashion in the 80’s but they are back now.”

“Every year we say we are going to give up but it’s difficult. People come for miles for them. Recently 4 Australians got off at Gatwick and came straight here.

We grow and test Dahlia varieties sent to us from all around the world”.

But it is back breaking work. Every October, before the cold and damp set in, they dig up over 8000 tubers by hand, clean off the mud, label and store them in dry boxes under cover. “Because they originated from Mexico they don’t like wet feet and can only last a couple of days before they begin to rot. Even though we have good sandy soils here we sometimes have to hand wash and dry them.”

38 Gardening On the 10th April each year they plant them all back again along with the new seedings that carry the hope of discovering even more new varieties. “ I developed the first scented Dahlia in the world by crossing two that had a mild scent.”

Along side personal injuries and thefts from their farm it is hard work to keep such a big plot of land going as they also grow vegetables, Zinnias and Gladioli and sell direct from their farm shop to the public.

But they are still there! So if it is a warm Autumn you may still have a chance to see and buy some of the most beautiful Dahlias grown anywhere in the worldand some vegetables too!

Places to visit Obviously visit Phil and Mary- Ann’s lovely Farm shop!

Also have you visited Borde Hill with its magnificent garden near Haywards Heath? It is well know for its Autumn colour display and has 80 ‘champion’ trees’ which are either the tallest or have the largest girth of their kind in England.

You may even get to see the last of the Summer Roses in its large Rose Garden. It is open from 10am to 6pm (or dusk whichever is earliest).

SUSSEX LOCAL What to do in October  Now is the time to move plants around the garden or plant up new ones. The soil is still warm for the roots to establish but there is less chance of the plants drying out.  You can divide most Perennials now including Rhubarb and balance up your garden by taking the one half to a different place.  You can still plant lettuce and can start sowing Chinese winter greens and Spring Cabbage.  Repairing your lawn can start now with the cooler weather, either using pre grown turfs or seeding into prepared earth.  Your lawn treatment can start this month with aerating the garden with a strong fork and raking out moss and thatch.  Lastly you can cut back shrubs like Buddlea and Lavatera to about half their height to neaten them up and prevent strong winter winds rocking them about- the more fundamental pruning happens in Spring

Energy Savings

By Chris Ennis FRICS

Yes, it’s that time of year again …. Chilly nights, rising fuel bills and it won’t be long before I get the first phone calls concerning dampness! Many energy providers have announced price rises, and it is now estimated that the average ‘dual fuel’ standard tariff will rise by more than 7% from this September.

Now is the time to take steps to freeze your energy bills.

Until recently I had not changed my energy provider for several years, I was concerned that the effort involved was onerous, I had the fear of disruption to supplies. The time came when I was switched to a dearer ‘standard variable tariff’, and I made my move.

It was very straight forward and I estimate my cost savings to be about £200.00 per year.

There are many price comparison web sites where one can find better energy deals including Uswitch, go compare, money supermarket and others.

In my efforts to reduce fuel costs I arranged for a smart meter to be installed…..Its a very simple procedure and the actual installation only took a couple of hours and was entirely painless. I can now quantify energy usage in real time….and it does concentrate the mind!

Stop!

Boilers should be maintained on an annual basis both for safety and efficiency. Expect to pay about £100.00 excluding parts for this service.

Upgrade the central heating system with thermostatically controlled radiator valves and while you are in the mindset, investigate the costs of replacing an older boiler with a more modern and efficient condensing unit………… likely cost about £2000.00.

Energy efficiency is of paramount importance.

Ensure that roof insulation is adequate (a minimum of 10 inches of fibre glass or the equivalent) should be laid over or between the ceiling joists. Insulate the upper surface of the loft access hatch. Insulate and cover water tanks, insulate plumbing within the roof, consider the installation of cavity wall insulation, replace any single glazed windows with double glazing. An energy performance certificate (EPC) prepared by a trained inspector will cost in the order of £80.00 and will advise on the actual energy usage, and potential energy savings.

Gifts with a difference: A new enterprise in Findon It may be a little early to be thinking of Christmas (although some shops are stocking Christmas cards), but for those looking to make an early start on their present shopping, a recently opened shop in Findon Valley could be well worth a visit.

Nigel Milner, his wife Jane and sister-in-law Helen, opened Gifted in Findon Road in May this year and Nigel told Sussex Local of their plan to stock out of the ordinary gifts which will appeal to everyone, whatever their age. To this end, they have put together a surprisingly large variety of unusual gifts alongside a gallery of artistic work from local craftspeople.

There is a lot on offer said Nigel, from hand crocheted soft toys to recycled aluminium pots, Fairtrade items such as bags, scarves and cushions, beauty products, a delectable candle range and a selection of unique fairy lights.

With free parking nearby it may be a welcome alternative to the congestion and crowds in Worthing.

Being very much a family business, means that customer satisfaction is high on the agenda and Nigel and his two partners take a keen interest in customer’s comments with a view to introducing new lines which will prove popular.

Nigel, Jane and Helen make every effort to help people chose that perfect gift and they are delighted that clients are already making return visits and bringing their friends.

Equity Release

By Ivan Lyons Director Investment Solutions, Worthing 



Are you seeking to take advantage of the equity built up in your property by releasing equity from your home to be spent on anything you wish?

Are you a home-owner aged 55 or over?

If the answer to the above is “yes”, then equity release could be right for you.

For most of us, our biggest asset is our home and when it comes to retirement many people struggle to adjust to life on a smaller income. This raises the dilemma of potentially needing to sell one’s home and downsize in order to release some of the value from the property. Whilst this is a valid option, it might be that you don’t wish to sell your home and downsize, or it might not be a good time to sell.

Equity release schemes remove the need to move home by allowing you to raise money against your property, without having to leave it. The money that you raise can be used to generate a regular income or to provide you with a lump sum, or a combination of both lump sum and income. Essentially, the capital is yours to do with as you wish.

You have the option of paying back the interest, or not, and the plan will run until the last person has died or moved into long-term care. At that point the property is usually sold, with the proceeds of sale used to pay off the equity release scheme and the balance passing to any beneficiaries.

There are 2 main types of equity release schemes available: Lifetime Mortgage - These do not usually require any repayments until you sell the property.

Home Reversion – you sell all of part of your property in exchange for a lifetime lease, which provides either a tax-free lump sum, additional income, or both.

At Investment Solutions, as an Independent Firm of Financial Advisers, we have access to the whole market in respect to the above Schemes and if you wish to have a chat, please do not hesitate to contact us.

48 Local History

How Napoleon Helped Change the Face of Findon by Valerie Martin I have been looking into the life of Napoleon Bonaparte.

He was a Corsican born in 1769, of poor but noble descent and an unlikely candidate to have any effect upon the Findon countryside.

He eventually crowned himself Emperor of France, and for nearly twenty years dominated the continent of Europe. It during the Napoleonic Wars that his influence was brought to bear on Findon history.

war. It was the duty of some at the point of invasion to drive the flocks of sheep to safety; some to deal with the cattle; others the horses to take them further inland and out of reach of the anticipated French invaders.

During the Napoleonic Wars many French prisoners of war were brought back to Britain and put to work. I am told that the French panelling in older residences in Findon may be a legacy of their workmanship.

It is thought possible that the French prisoners were billeted at the site now known as Soldiers Field in Nepcote and were employed building the many flint walls in the village.

The name Soldiers Field may have first originated during the Napoleonic Wars when the area was an army base. It is known for certain that Soldiers Field was later under military occupation in the 1920s.

I have spoken to villagers who remember horse-drawn guns rumbling down School Hill, across The Square, and labouring up Nepcote Lane to the summer camp Soldiers Field area .

Find more stories of Findon past on Valerie’s website:

Showing the many flint walls — Findon High Street in 1912.

www.findonvillage.com

Napoleon's wars were a series of campaigns between 1800 and 1815 when the French army was pitched against various European powers. By 1803, peace with Britain had disintegrated and he prepared to invade our coastline. I have discovered that he organised a huge naval base at Boulogne with his army and a fleet of vessels in readiness to invade. British ships were on vigilant patrol off the French coast to defend our realm.

The villagers of Findon began to feel a distinct draught blowing from across the Channel and up the wind-gap in the South Downs.

Plans were put into action in case of a landing and invasion of our coast to the south of Findon.

Every worker employed on the Findon land was issued with his responsibilities in the event of

I wonder if Napoleon's soldiers built any of Findon's flint walls still standing in 2017?
