New Car Safety Features

by Foxy Lady Drivers Club Founder Steph Savil When you go car shopping, chances are you've done your homework thoroughly. Most of us start with the practicality of the car, having agreed the ideal number of doors and seats, the required onboard space and such like.

Then there's the familiarity factors to consider; does it have the automatic gearbox or 4 wheel drive options we need, and should we stay with the brand we're used to, even if cheaper others seem to be more popular in motoring surveys? And finally should we be looking at new fuel alternatives now that hybrid and electric cars are more affordable choices?

The What Car? UK Safety awards recognise the best cars in this area and this year's winner is the Volvo XC90 by a good distance. To find out more about this award, car safety standards and whether your car is as safe as others, please visit the Thatcham Research website www.thatcham.org.

Often the deal breaker is price but one area that women drivers take particularly seriously is that of car safety.

Whilst leading manufacturers compete for five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings it's a shame that some include lifesaving features in their selling prices whereas others don't and by charging extra can deter cost conscious shoppers.

So I'd like to draw your attention to Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), a safety feature that can stop car crashes causing serious injuries and accidents. It's fitted to vehicles to monitor traffic conditions ahead and it automatically brakes the car if the

Free Tax Surgeries

Did you know that over 80 new businesses are starting up every hour in 2016? It's a mind-boggling fact,which means a much greater percentage of the population is going to be dealing with their own taxation.

Tax is a huge subject and one that can be both complex and confusing. THL is offering free one hour individual tax surgery appointments this Autumn.

Their tax expert, Hayley Sengebusch, will go through your issues and problems and see how they can help.

As part of the #talktoTHL, appointments are available on 4th November and each one will be completely confidential and last for an hour. Tel: 01903 300230 or email info@thlaccountancy.co.uk

Peacehaven Cliffs Charity Abseil

On Sunday 11th September, sixteen brave participants took part in The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home’s (QAHH) sponsored abseil down the Peacehaven cliffs, including Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne. It was a glorious, sunny day and the abseilers were able to take in the stunning views as they began their descent down the 115 feet chalk cliff face.

Despite walking down a vertical cliff face, Mrs Bourne managed to give a small interview on the way down.

During her descent, she said, “I have to say, I’m slightly terrified and exhilarated at the same time. But those guys at QAHH have to struggle with things every day, so this is a small thing to do to raise a bit of money for them.”

The abseil is one of many events that the charity organises in order to raise vital funds, so that it can provide care and rehabilitation services to the disabled veterans in its care. The organisers would

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.

or send an email to Ivan at: ilyons@graftonhouse.net or visit www.investment-solutions.co.uk Twitter: @investment_sols Below: The Investment Solutions Team, Worthing

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.

Search Dogs Sussex Serving the community, saving lives By Lynn Smith There is undeniably a special relationship between man and dog. Throughout history the two species have jogged along pretty much side by side, each aiding and abetting the others development; a relationship benefiting – for the most part – both species.

Dogs have evolved to exploit the benefits of living closely with man – shelter, food – and man has profited from a companion offering superior senses along with an unquestioning devotion. Dogs work alongside man in many roles, guide dogs for the blind, sniffer dogs, sheep herding dogs, all are familiar sights to most of us, but, there is a less well known branch of service dog that carries on its work with very little notice from the general public.

Since March 2003, Search Dogs Sussex (SDS) has provided nationally qualified search dog teams to support the emergency services - looking for missing people - working 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, regardless of the weather. When someone considered to be at risk goes missing the police are the first point of contact. However, the missing person may not want to be found or if in a confused state, may try to hide from

the searchers. Searchers on foot from the Search and Rescue teams and police, and drones may have been deployed, but if the missing person is able to evade the searchers or has fallen and is hidden from sight there is a chance they will not be spotted. Which is where SDS comes into its own, unfazed by poor illumination, rough terrain or camouflaging undergrowth a search dog’s phenomenal scent receptors will lead him or her along the trail of a missing person as clearly as though that person had been floodlit.

The Lowland equivalent of the better known Mountain Rescue, SDS was founded following the disappearance of Sarah Payne, the ensuing search highlighting the need for a professional volunteer search and rescue resource for the Police to call on within Sussex and surrounding counties. Called out directly by the emergency services, SDS is often placed on “standby” whilst the Police make their enquiries so that they can deploy quickly when asked.

Chairman, Steve Ball has been with SDS for around twelve years and says that the charity receives between 25 to 30 callouts a year, but that, “We are up to 25 already this year (at the end of September) making it our busiest yet.” SDS may be called out to look for anyone that the Police determine to be vulnerable – ranging from a child to dementia sufferers and despondent (suicidal) people. And, because the dogs are what Steve calls “air scenting,” they are normally given rural areas to search, typically woodland and hills.

Steve explains that, “On average a search dog is worked for around four hours, but this depends on the environment the dog is working in. Searches can go on for a really short period, for instance if the missing person turns up at home, or it can go for several days until all leads are exhausted with the available information.”

SDS is a member of the national umbrella organisation The Association of Lowland Search & Rescue

tional operational standards. “Training a search dog takes commitment, patience and practice, practice, practice, with a typical dog and handler needing to train once a week, often more, for a period of time that could be up to two years or more.”

Currently, the SDS team comprises twenty members, serving as dog handlers, dog support, and nonoperational support, such as fundraising and media management. All are unpaid volunteers, most of whom fit their constant training and search activities around full time jobs. SDS receives no government funding, relying solely on donations and sponsorship to keep the team operational and provide essential search and safety equipment such as dog first aid kits, radios and hi-visibillity clothing. All other expenses come from the team’s own pocket.

Steve Ball says, “Predominantly I would say every member of the team wants to look after the most vulnerable members of our community and has a strong desire to make a difference and save lives. They are all great outdoors people and thrive on the challenges of working in a small team in all weathers often under a lot of pressure to find someone quickly before the elements overwhelm them. Obviously we are all dog lovers and then there are core skills like navigation radio operating and first aid, in which we are all trained.”

There is clearly an extraordinary level of commitment involved with the average search dog retiring around ten or eleven years old. Retirement is at the discretion of the dog handler, whose dog will continue to work as long as it remains fit, enjoys the work and can keep going. Similarly, the handler continues to work for as long as he/she is fit enough to do the job – all operational members undergo an annual fitness test.

28 Local Charity / Finance At present, SDS does not have vacancies for dog handlers, although they do require volunteers in the vital support role of deploying the search dog and handler, which, Steve Ball explains, is a harder role to fill: “We require people to meet a basic criteria … [the role] is physically demanding and we are out in all weathers and in the remote woodland at night, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.” He adds, “Perhaps the biggest issue we face when recruiting is the amount of time a volunteer has to be prepared to put in, which is considerable and no expenses are paid, which is also a barrier for a lot of people as a considerable amount of travelling is required.”

Fundraising is key for SDS, and they have the usual funding streams – including buckets and collection tins in local businesses, Just Giving pages. They attend shows such as Sussex Paws in the Park, and receive some funding from the National Lottery and the Libor fund etc., which is used for purchasing specialist train-

ing and to fund vital equipment and clothing. From time to time SDS also organises a fun search and rescue introduction course, giving people the opportunity to experience the very basic levels of search dog training, raising funds and also talent spotting suitable dogs and handlers, whilst helping to spread the word about the work of the charity.

Steve Ball says that the charity is becoming more well-known locally: “We enjoy a fantastic relationship with Sussex Police who support us wherever possible, we also work closely with other search and rescue assets such as Sussex Search and Rescue … who attend the callouts alongside us, and Neighbourhood Watch search teams.” The organisation enjoyed media coverage last year when it was awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Services, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK, and there are a number of television interviews featured on the website – well worth a look. www.searcgdogssussex.com

Whilst correcting this may sound pedantic, I frequently feel the need to do so because I believe it is symptomatic and perhaps even a cause of why investors get caught up in bubbles and often buy high and sell low.

Throughout 2011 I lost count of the number of people who were talking about investing in gold because “it was going up”. Over the next four years it lost around a third of its value before recovering some of that this year. At the moment I hear that the stock market is going up, house prices are rising and the pound is falling. All three of which are incorrect, the stock market has gone up house prices have risen and the pound has fallen. All three may or may not continue their previous trajectory and whilst we have an opinion on that, we cannot be sure.

The use of the present tense gives a sense of security and certainty based on the premise that the past performance will continue. Worse still, people feel even more comfortable that an investment “is going up” after a prolonged period of strong performance, when often an asset is getting more and more overvalued meaning the correction will be even harder.

Saying “this has gone up and I believe it will continue to do so” sounds much less certain. A far less comfortable but often far more accurate statement is “this has gone down and I think it will recover”.

Everyone knows you want to buy towards the bottom of the market, when values have gone down and you expect them to go up and sell at the top, when values have gone up. Whilst it seems common sense I can assure you persuading people to do so is somewhat harder.

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens How to know which ones to select for the garden?

I’ll give my favourites here but here are literally thousands to choose from and some nurseries now specialize in grasses alone.

Ornamental Grasses- give your garden some movement The South East is a windy place. Rather than fight the climate why not surrender and introduce some beautiful ornamental grasses into your garden. When it is breezy other garden shrubs are stubbornly immoveable but the long hair of grasses flow out across the beds and make one feel alive and wild!

They also invoke the spirit of the countryside like no other plant which is why they are becoming so popular in the middle of out concrete cities.

If you are going to go for some grasses don’t do it by halves. One or two in a bed will look lonely and the full ‘grass effect’ won’t be achieved. If you have a large garden you can even plant them in large blocks or ribbons that run through the beds like a river.

Grasses are very easy to maintain. They take awhile to get going but by July they are making their presence felt and creating interest in the garden as the early Summer plants begin to fade.

The great benefit of grasses is that they can be left all winter. As the green sap is withdrawn into their roots they turn a sandy golden colour and can catch the dew and then the frosts. Once a few little sprigs of green appear in Spring you can be radical and cut them down to the ground. At the Praire Gardens near Henfield they burn almost the entire garden down to the ground! Some are evergreen of course and so just subtle thinning out is needed.

Big Beauties. When choosing big grasses really make sure they fit into the proportions of your garden. If they are too big they can look like hairy, scarry Triffids intimidating all the little plants.

The great queen of grasses are the Pampass GrassesContaderia. They were used as a feature plant in the 70’s in front gardens but now are an object of ridicule mainly I think because they did not achieve any integration in the rest of the planting scheme. However they

36 Gardening can be planted with other large grasses and their creamy white flower heads appear like beautiful spears amongst a mass of other grasses. Try planting one with Miscanthus Zebra Grass, Miscanthus Flamingo with it’s ridiculously graceful pink seed heads and Miscanthus Yukkashuma. Also Cortaderia ricardii is a much more arching delicate Pampas which fits better into most medium sized gardens.

The mid range of grasses. For years Stipa giganta has been the great must have for it’s well behaved structure and golden oats effect in the setting sun - but have a look at the more explosive Molinia Karl Foester. Other mid-sized grasses include Calamagrostis Karl Foester and Pannicum Shenandoah which is very upright and has a red tinge to the foliage.

The smaller grasses. My favourite is Anemanthele lessoniana. It has coppery, green and hay coloured foliage, has a relaxed habit and doesn’t mind some dry shade. It gets to about 2/3 foot high.

For really dry conditions look to the Carex range such as Carex diva and Cares Ice Dance.

SUSSEX LOCAL There is an annual grass I have discovered recently called Pannicum ‘Frosted Explosion’. It has the most frothy delicate foliage and seed heads imaginable and even though it is an annual, it self-seeds so if you have a nice sunny bed, let it do its stuff.

Then there are the little bullet proof grasses for the small garden, the black grass Ophiopogon, Vestuca gluuca and Stipa tennuisima. I like Sessleria as it is bright green in the spring, fades in the Summer, then comes back for another green showing in the Autumn. Blue Oat grass is a sturdy small grass too but doesn’t like to be waterlogged.

Companion planting If you study grasses in the English countryside you will see that flowers poke up through, whether it is a wildflower meadow or the verge of the road, and we can reproduce this in our gardens.

Have a look at these combinations. Stop tennuissima with Agapanthas, Miscanthus Yukkashuma with Sanguisorba Pink Brushes, Molinia Paul Peterson with

Gardening

through the door Allium Purple Sensation and Pennisetum Viridesence with Helenium Moorhead Beauty.

If you decide to go for it make sure the grasses are well balanced across the garden so that when a wind arrives you can see its passage via the grass movement. Also make sure the grasses are planted in positions that make sense, ie as if they have always been there! Good luck.

Places to visit this November If you go to pickyourownxmastree.co.uk you can find a place in your area where you can either choose the tree you want for Christmas or cut it down yourself. We go to Wilderness Woods for ours in Hadlow Downs.

November is full of activities especially at the lovely old houses with their classic gardens that we have been visiting in the summer.

Petworth House is hosting a Literary Festival, Hastings has its annual Herring Fair, there is the Lewes Bonfire night on November 5th and in Horsham The Great Christmas Market is open on November 26th.

37

What to do in November  Clean out the Glass Houses now and wash down  Keep collecting leaves and compost  It is not too late to order some more bulbs  This is the time to order bare root plants- for roses, trees and hedges. You will save up to 50% compared to buying them in pots and if the soil is still warm their roots will establish well.  Turfing and seeding can still be done now.  You can finish the tidying up of beds but you can think about leaving seedbeds and foliage so wildlife can have something to eat and shelter during the Winter.

38 Local History

SUSSEX LOCAL

In the Beginning There Was a Windmill on the Findon Downs By Valerie Martin I have discovered that in the early 1820s, milling was enjoying its heyday in Sussex and there were approximately twenty professional millwrights all fully occupied and busy working in the county.

Windmill and selling Hide’s Mill, appeared the familiar Findon Windmill. This time "To be sold by private contract" and enquiries could be made again to Mr. Charles Best.

It must surely have been a fascinating sight in Findon in 1823 to witness a post mill actually being constructed on the Downs to the east of the village. I often wonder if the building work was hampered by the hurricane of that year when it is recorded that "a great gale and incursion of the sea" occurred. Did the inclement weather in those days, mean that the workmen downed tools on the windy hillside and trudged off home down to the village? The effects of the weather blew down a giant elm tree that had proudly stood for some years in the Steyne Field (now Steyne Gardens) in nearby Worthing.

Below is my own sketch/impression of how the Findon Windmill may have appeared on the Findon downland. It appears there were no takers following this second notice for sale.

The windmill had some ancient neighbours. 330 metres to the north east from the windmill site is something known in archaeological terms as a Saucer Barrow (Grid reference TQ 1337 0933). This feature is a round barrow with a low wide mound surrounded by a ditch and there could be an external bank but I am not very sure about that.

So a further announcement appeared among advertisements for Towers Tonic Pills and Arundel Customs House selling off seized brandy, ropes and anchors. The Windmill was "To be sold by auction by Mr. Thomas Soane", an auctioneer and appraiser of Steyning.

The occasion was to be at The Green Man in Findon on Tuesday, 30th December at 2 p.m.

A Platform Barrow (Grid reference TQ1335 0942) is also sited 360 metres north east of the Mill House.

A busy time for the local ancients in days of yore.

This kind of barrow is apparently the rarest of the recognised round barrows. It consists of a flat, wide, circular mound.... and a ditch of sorts. I understand that these occur widely across West Sussex and not much anywhere else.

The Findon windmill was erected on high ground, north-west of Cissbury Ring, where a stupendous view was to be had to a sister-mill at High Salvington; to Muntham Court in the west; and out to sea and the elements of the coast.

The Windmill subsequently appeared on Greenwood’s one-inch map of that year. At the time Findon was still a village where narrow twisting trails converged.

There were unsurfaced flinty roads plastered with squelching mud in the winter, and dusty trackways throughout the rest of the year.

This is the original advertisement as it appeared on 8th September 1823, and ran for three consecutive weeks in the newspaper: A good description can be gleaned from the above of Findon Windmill in its infancy. It is assumed that no one was interested in striking a bargain at this time because on 24th November further advertising space was taken. Directly under coverage for letting Arundel

Next month I will attempt to follow the course of Windmill History on the Findon Downs.
