South 20 Woodham Focus South Woodham Focus OVER TO YOU..... Thank You From Your Community First Responders It makes a change for us to be thanking the residents and businesses of Woodham, instead of individuals thanking us! A belated thank you to Steve’s garage and their customers for raising £21.20 in the collection tin I collected at the end of June, all that odd change adds up! We also received a cheque for £500 from Asda coming first in their recent community project green token scheme. Thank you to everyone who ‘voted’ for us and to Asda. Money raised goes towards funding equipment, advertising for new recruits and subsidising expenses accrued by trainees. The money helps a great deal but what we really need is more volunteers. Everyone seems so busy nowadays, but are you really too busy to help save someone’s life? If you live or work in Woodham you can be on call as a CFR while continuing life as normal. When you get that emergency call, you attend till relieved by an ambulance crew, and are normally back to home or work within the hour. Shifts are flexible to suit you with a minimum requirement of 2 days a month. You need to be fairly fit and a car owner, for further information give me a call and I’ll tell you more. Jill 07896 074626 Asda Trolleys The worst thing Asda have done is removed the £1 coin box from trolleys. Lazy people take trolleys offsite and just dump them anywhere. People who take trolleys offsite should be charged a fee of £10 to do so and we would the be free of trolleys littering the roads and paths etc. MKH Thanks to Spantec Just a quick thanks to Tom and his team at Spantec for the great job fixing my daughters car. Would highly recommend their services and wish them all the best for the future. Neal Davies Solve the Riddle 1. A carpenter fixes a square metal plate measuring 48 x 48 to a wooden board in such a way that there are 25 nails on each side of the square. Each nail is the same distance from its neighbours. How many nails does the carpenter use? 2. A blind man is handed a deck of 52 cards. He is told that ten of the cards are face up, the rest are face down. How can he divide the cards into two piles and ensure that each pile has the same number of cards facing up? Thank you I would just like to thank the person who kindly found my very old cat in Inchbonnie Road. (Focus 857). She’s now home safe and well. 2. He divides the cards into piles of 42 and 10, then turns the whole pile of 10 over. 1. The carpenter uses 96 nails. Each corner needs one nail, then each side has 23 more.

Seducing us with her onscreen power is the star of ‘Pandora's Box' (PG, Tuesday 4 September at 7.30pm), Louise Brooks. The Hollywood star topped the bill in the 20s. Thanks to her black, bobbed hairstyle and beautiful looks, she was an iconic symbol of the jazz-age Flapper generation, where the women threw aside ‘acceptable behaviour' and flouted social norm; in fact, they smoked, drank and even drove cars, and made the 1920s roar! Louise was an actress and dancer who had a brief affair with Charlie Chaplin. However, it was when Louise left Hollywood for European films that her star shone at its brightest. The first movie Louise made in Europe was ‘Pandora's Box', directed by Georg Pabst, and it opened in 1929. Louise played the central character, Lulu, and the film depicts a seductive, carefree young woman whose raw sexuality brings ruin upon herself and those close to her. ëPandora's Box' had what is considered to have been one of the earliest portrayals of a lesbian and the film explored cosmopolitan sexuality. It was maybe due to these themes considered scandalous in the late 1920s, that the film was not loved by film critics, although it made Louise a world-wide star with the general public. The film finally found favour with the critics in the 1950s, when its scope and forward thinking was reappraised, and it was seen as trail-blazingly ahead of its time. Strong women are also celebrated in the ‘Women 100' season at Chelmsford Picture House with one of the key films of early 1980s feminism, The Gold Diggers' (U, Thursday 6 September at 7.30pm). The film was the debut feature by director Sally Potter, who later filmed ‘Orlando', and stars Julie Christie. Noted for having an all-female crew, Potter's work mixes the avant-garde with the arthouse in a portrayal of the power of patriarchy and women as icons and objects. ‘The Gold Diggers' revolves around a bank clerk who is fascinated between the relationship between gold and power, and a film star on a quest about her identity and childhood. Forthcoming Women 100 films will include the documentarystyle’Born In Flames', which explores racism, classism, sexism, and heterosexism in an alternative United States socialist democracy. Plus ; ‘The Company of Strangers', which provides an insightful look into ageing and mortality from eight women stranded at a bus stop. All three films in the Women 100 series can be seen at just £15 for a season ticket. An equally strong woman, Edith Rigby, is depicted in the live drama ‘Woman on Fire' on the Cramphorn Studio's stage on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 September at 7.45pm. The show is full of poetic language, sharp wit and defiant spirit: an explosive onewoman performance of one of the most dangerous females in the British suffrage movement, Edith Rigby. Although Edith lived in the shadow of Mrs Pankhurst, she fought hard against social injustice and denying women the right to vote. Actress Claire Moore brings Edith vividly to life, and asks: ‘How far will you go for what you believe in?' For full details and to book tickets, visit www.chelmsford.gov.uk/theatres or call the Box Office Tel No: 01245 606505. ‘Pandora's Box' has now been digitally restored by the British Film Institute (BFI) and is the first film to be shown as part of the Picture House's Silent Classics. The movie will be screened in all its black-and-white splendor on Tuesday 4 September at 7.30pm and is a must for anyone intrigued by the silent movie era. Future silent features will include the Russian war drama, ëBattleship Potemkin' and the 1920s German horror ‘The Cabinet of Dr Caligari'. All three silent classics can be seen on a special ticket costing just £15. SOUTH WOODHAM <strong>FOCUS</strong>
