Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 120<br />
7<br />
Switch It On!<br />
More and more of us have to take our work<br />
with us wherever we go. Some companies<br />
expect you to still be contactable, at least via<br />
email, and if you run your own business you<br />
are likely to be checking in on a regular basis.<br />
For those who are retired, or are granted a full<br />
two weeks off work, you’ll probably still want to<br />
access the internet, be it to update social<br />
media, to check in via email, or to catch up with<br />
the news and sport back home.<br />
So, when we get ready for a trip abroad, we dig<br />
out our spare laptop that we only use when<br />
travelling. Off we trot, knowing there is WiFi<br />
available in our destination, and we have our<br />
adapter plugs so power will not be an issue. We<br />
can send those documents we promised to our<br />
clients, or the photos we have been taking, once<br />
we are in the hotel bar, not a problem….<br />
Except, when did you last turn your spare<br />
computer on? You may have kept all your<br />
software updated on your main computer, but<br />
any other devices that you use which haven’t<br />
been online for a while won’t be up to date.<br />
Switch on the spare machine and it may well<br />
refuse to co-operate if there are too many<br />
updates pending. The hotel WiFi may not be<br />
good enough for those updates to be<br />
downloaded and you could be well and truly<br />
snookered.<br />
<strong>September</strong>’s advice then is to plan ahead,<br />
whether you be travelling for work or pleasure.<br />
If you have more than one computer, make sure<br />
you schedule some time at home before you<br />
travel to ensure it has all the updates it will<br />
require to enable you to use it when you need<br />
it.<br />

Bridgeford’s Best Bites<br />
25<br />
Psoas Muscles<br />
Pronounced 'SOAS' and together with related 'sister' muscle<br />
the ilacus, also called the iliopsoas. They are major hip flexors<br />
and connectors between the torso and the legs, affecting posture<br />
and spinal stability while sitting and in movement.<br />
They consist of both fast and slow twitch muscles fibres and are<br />
involved in all types of movement from active sports and dance<br />
to sitting in the chair or lounging around. They move the legs<br />
towards the torso when the torso is fixed (leg lifts, walking up<br />
stairs, running) and the torso towards the legs when the legs are<br />
fixed (sit-ups). They flex the trunk to bend forwards and pick<br />
something up. Imbalance in the psoas muscles can create overcompensation<br />
in other muscles and cause low back, pelvic and<br />
groin pain.<br />
Anatomy: They are the deepest core muscles, about 16 inches<br />
long and the only muscles that connect the spine and the legs.<br />
They attach to either side of the spine at the front on the transverse<br />
processes of the 12 thoracic vertebra, 5 lumbar vertebrae<br />
and intervertebral discs, passing through the pelvis to<br />
attach to the medial lesser trochanter of the femur. Their nerve<br />
supply is from lumbar 1-3. They attach to the spine next to the<br />
crurae, the tendons of the diaphragm, with the medial arcuate<br />
ligaments wrapping around the top of each psoas muscle. They<br />
provide support for the internal organs and their movement<br />
with the diaphragm encourages fluid flow. There are deep fascial<br />
connections between the psoas, diaphragm, other hip muscles,<br />
the pelvic organs and the spine. The diaphragm basically<br />
attaches directly or indirectly to all organs.<br />
Breath and Emotions: Psoas connections to the diaphragm, connects<br />
them to the breath and emotions. When we are startled<br />
or stressed (fight, flight or freeze) we hold our breath, the diaphragm<br />
contracts and so does psoas. Continued stress causes<br />
continued contracted psoas, contributing to low back pain. During<br />
later pregnancy, pressure on the diaphragm can cause<br />
breathlessness; due to the psoas diaphragm connection, releasing<br />
psoas can help to ease the breathing. Balanced psoas function<br />
is important in the birth process, encouraging a smoother<br />
2ⁿ stage.<br />
Symptoms: You may have a leg length difference, rotated pelvis,<br />
knee and back pain, postural problems; there may be an impact<br />
on organs, affecting bowel movements, menstrual cramps, difficulty<br />
to breathe fully and feeling exhausted. Tightness of the<br />
psoas can result in spasms in the back or lower back pain by<br />
compressing the discs. Hypertonic, inflamed psoas can irritate<br />
and entrap the iliolingual and iliohypogastric nerves that branch<br />
off 1 lumbar nerve, causing a sensation of heat or water running<br />
down the front of the thigh. With both psoas muscles tight,<br />
the lower back will tend to arch back in a lordosis; tightness on<br />
one side will cause a lean to the side of the tightness, often<br />
causing symptoms of sciatica into the butt and down the leg. A<br />
typical result of psoas tightness or spasm is that you lean forward<br />
and get stuck and also find it difficult to get up straight,<br />
particularly first thing in the morning. As a deep core muscle,<br />
imbalance in one or both psoas muscles can affect our ability to<br />
activate our core strength properly and thus have an impact on<br />
any incontinence issues.<br />
Causes: Many situations can cause the psoas muscles to contract:<br />
long periods of stress, sitting for a long time, excessive exercise,<br />
including walking and running, a lot of sit ups, sleeping in<br />
the foetal position, prolonged bad posture, injury, laying in bed<br />
too long with an existing back problem. Awkward movements<br />
involving heavy or repeated lifting and also twisting, such as digging,<br />
moving heavy, awkward objects, etc. Dehydration can impact<br />
the psoas muscles due to their physical connection with the<br />
kidneys as well as the overall impact on muscles. The demands<br />
of a changing body during pregnancy can affect the psoas muscles<br />
and it is important to keep them balanced to aid a smooth<br />
delivery as possible.<br />
Diagnosis: Psoas problems are often misdiagnosed as they can<br />
present with symptoms of sciatica and disc problems. If your<br />
symptoms are severe enough to take you to the doctor or hospital,<br />
you may have X-rays, MRI and neurological examinations<br />
and even though your pain is real, things can appear 'normal'.<br />
Osteopathic/Manual Management: Osteopathic diagnosis includes<br />
neurological, orthopaedic and movement testing as well<br />
as a detailed case history to determine possible cause. Using<br />
muscle testing, where appropriate and palpation to 'listen' to<br />
the body with 'thinking feeling fingers' to determine the cause<br />
and extent of the problem and best course of treatment for the<br />
individual. Treatment may include stretching, deep soft tissue<br />
work, myofascial techniques, adjusting/manipulation, dry needling,<br />
home rehabilitation exercises; attention to postural habits,<br />
appropriate exercise and ergonomics. Stress aspects will be<br />
considered both physically, biochemically and with various relaxation<br />
and breathing exercises where appropriate.<br />
We are happy to advise you on your health matters.<br />

Local Animal Support Group<br />
29<br />
Karen Lippitt, founder of Helping Paws tells us about their work<br />
I suppose everyone has a passion and mine happens to be<br />
animals.<br />
Since the 1970’s I have been involved with tourism, specifically<br />
in Portugal and inevitably that led me to helping stray and<br />
abandoned animals whenever I was there.<br />
In 2013 I started Helping Paws www.helpingpaws.co.uk which<br />
is an animal support group. We raise money for animals in<br />
need all over the world and of course, here in the UK. Since I<br />
started, we have raised more than £300,000 all of which has<br />
gone directly to the animals.<br />
Last year I made the slightly scary decision to massively reduce<br />
my hours at work so that I could spend more time helping<br />
animals. I didn’t have the means to do this without earning<br />
some extra money so earlier this year I started Help4paws. I<br />
am a qualified dog behaviourist, Reiki practitioner, animal<br />
healer and animal communicator so I decided to do all those<br />
things plus, feeding and cuddling cats when the owners are on<br />
holiday.<br />
I don’t think I have ever worked so hard but I am loving every<br />
moment of it. To be spending most of my days working with<br />
animals and really making a difference to their lives is so<br />
fulfilling.<br />
I live in Rottingdean so look after cats throughout the <strong>Deans</strong><br />
area. The dog behaviour work and animal healing is bespoke<br />
and I always have a detailed consultation with the owners<br />
before deciding if it is best to see the animal in its own home,<br />
outside, or here in my lovely little house.<br />
Animal healing is amazing – I have been asked if perhaps Reiki<br />
works because of the placebo effect but you can’t fool an<br />
animal and to see a nervous, frightened or sick animal relax<br />
and release their tension really is a miracle. Of course, it can’t<br />
cure illness, that is the vets job but it can help them in so many<br />
ways and I am always privileged to be asked to help.<br />
I have two rescue dogs of my own and they both love the<br />
company of other dogs. I don’t have time to be a regular dog<br />
walker but I do offer an occasional walking service. I will only<br />
ever take care of one families dogs though, not big groups and<br />
in all cases I walk the dogs on a long line, not off lead, I have<br />
seen and heard too many horror stories!<br />
My fundraising for Helping Paws takes up so much time and I<br />
am always asking for donations of good quality items that we<br />
can sell, either in our online auctions or at our regular<br />
fundraising events.<br />
If you would like to get involved with Helping Paws, or would<br />
like more details of my bespoke pet care please give me a call<br />
on 07818 402771 or email me kaz2460@hotmail.co.uk<br />
I am fully insured and CRB checked.<br />

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve<br />
Diary of a Butterfly Watcher on Beacon Hill by Peter<br />
Whitcomb<br />
5 July - With the flora and butterflies at their peak now is the<br />
time to visit our wonderful Reserve. In spite of little sun, it was<br />
warm and humid and today's butterfly count was well above<br />
the 200 mark with 11 species noted. The attractive Marbled<br />
White outnumbered Meadow Brown.<br />
24 July - With heatwave conditions I experimented with an<br />
early 9.30am start this morning. I usually do my butterfly<br />
transects around midday or early afternoon. There were a few<br />
surprises - no Marbled White, but I was pleased with 3 Wall<br />
Brown and 2 Dark Green Fritillary and the first Common Blue<br />
from their second brood. Gatekeeper came out on top with<br />
84, a fall to only 25 Meadow Brown and an overall total of<br />
149. I noted a few plants now in flower including Burnet<br />
Saxifrage, Wild Parsnip, Marjoram, St John's Wort and Melilot.<br />
26 July - I left home in Hollingdean with an optimistic look at<br />
the weather, but on arriving at Beacon Hill the breeze had<br />
strengthened and there was more cloud than sun. Fickle<br />
weather and a count of just over 100 butterflies. However<br />
there are always things to look out for here and I was pleased<br />
to find the first Wasp Spider of the season - a very small one<br />
and a very small web. Also a discovery of a new plant species,<br />
Wild Basil, not unusual on chalk downland but not recorded<br />
here in the past. One of the largest hoverflies - Volucella<br />
inanis and a Sulphur Pearl (the first record of this white moth<br />
for the reserve) - so all in all a successful walkabout.<br />
3 August - It was good to see an increase in numbers of<br />
Painted Lady, Common Blue and Small Heath with their<br />
second flights now emerging. The full list was as follows: 27<br />
Meadow Brown, 19 Common Blue, 16 Small Heath, 15<br />
Gatekeeper, 10 Small White, 6 Painted Lady, 5 Wall including a<br />
mating pair, and single Small Skipper, Red Admiral, Comma<br />
and Speckled Wood. The total was 102. The euonymus bushes<br />
alongside Blind Veterans were smothered in various species of<br />
hoverfly. A charm of about 30 Goldfinches were seed feeding.<br />
Friends of Beacon Hill will be back working in <strong>September</strong>. We<br />
meet for a 2 hour session on the 2ⁿ Tuesday and 4 Friday of<br />
each month, 10AM at the picnic benches at the south end of<br />
the Nature Reserve. Please join us in sturdy footwear,<br />
gardening gloves and, if you have them bring secatuers. We<br />
always look forward to having new members so come along<br />
and join in the conservation conversation.<br />
Due to public demand we have added 2 extra dates for<br />
<strong>September</strong> : Thursday 26 and Saturday 28.<br />

Local history - Article 88<br />

Mike Laslett<br />
There’s a Small<br />
Hotel…<br />
…is a familiar Rogers and Hart song which appeared in<br />
more than one musical.<br />
I have previously mentioned the two major Hotels in the<br />
area, The White Horse and The Royal Oak but there<br />
were many other smaller hotels, including Tudor Close<br />
Hotel, for which Charles Neville was responsible.<br />
The archives of the Rottingdean Preservation Society are<br />
constantly being added to, especially when people clear<br />
out family papers. Please contact me if you have any<br />
items you may wish to donate. I was grateful to receive<br />
the invoice and receipt relating to the honeymoon of<br />
John and Norma Lines at Tudor Close Hotel in March<br />
1940.Their three night stay cost £6 15s 6d at a nightly<br />
rate of two guineas, plus such extras as two shillings<br />
(10p) for wine and the same nightly fee for garaging, indicating<br />
that they must have come by car from their<br />
home in Sydenham. Note the stamp bearing the words<br />
“Postage Revenue” on the receipt, which was a tax on<br />
transactions requiring a receipt.<br />
The Dene was at one time known as Elm Lodge and was<br />
the riding establishment for Lord St Vincent. From 1877<br />
it was home of Edward Ridsdale who was in charge of<br />
the Royal Mint when it was at the Tower of London. One<br />
of his daughters, Lucy, married Stanley Baldwin, The<br />
Dene later became a hotel before becoming the current<br />
residential home. During it’s time as a hotel the Verger’s<br />
instructions for christenings at St. Margaret’s Church<br />
included the note;<br />
“Before the Baptism in the afternoon, hot water is usually<br />
fetched in the brass can from the Dene Hotel.”<br />
Some of the other smaller establishments included Olde<br />
Place Hotel/Motel, at and behind the Rottingdean Club.<br />
See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk
41<br />
In 1968 you could attend a dinner and dance at The<br />
Dene Hotel every Saturday evening for 30/- (£1.50 in today’s<br />
money!)<br />
Like The Dene, The White House in Saltdean is no longer<br />
a hotel and is now a Nursing Home.<br />
14 Ashdown Avenue was once a nursing home before<br />
reverting to private residence. However, it is alleged<br />
that it too served as a hotel in earlier days but none of<br />
us have been able to find evidence to this effect. If you<br />
have any information please contact me via the magazine<br />
- info@deansmagazine.co.uk<br />
Guests at The Kittiwake Hotel, which was on the coast<br />
road just west of the Lido, could use the steep steps to<br />
reach the beach when they stayed for 3 or 4 guineas a<br />
week. Though the hotel no longer exists you can just<br />
make out the Kittiwake name in the concrete wall.<br />

Neighbourhood Watch 43<br />
A Good & Effective<br />
Summer For NHW<br />
Summer fairs are over for another year. We took our<br />
promotional stall to four fairs and had good weather at them<br />
all!<br />
Attending fairs gives us a great opportunity not only to<br />
promote Neighbourhood Watch and encourage residents to<br />
become members, but also to listen to residents’ concerns and<br />
problems and chat about general topics.<br />
So many people came to the stall and spoke to us and it was<br />
good to hear from many of them how appreciative they were<br />
with our efforts to help keep the community a happy and safe<br />
place to live. Members of the committee are all volunteers<br />
and it is good to hear that our work is appreciated. We were<br />
able to give many people advice on simple, practical ways of<br />
keeping their property and themselves safe and secure.<br />
One of the general causes of concern was parking and<br />
speeding. We are now able to carry out four Community<br />
Speed Watch sessions a month in roads, approved but the<br />
Police, in Saltdean, Rottingdean and Ovingdean. However, if<br />
we had more volunteers it would mean we could carry out<br />
even more sessions.<br />
If you have concerns about speeding in your area, please let us<br />
know and if you care about your community and would like to<br />
know more about becoming a Community Speed Watch<br />
volunteer please do contact us.<br />
This summer we have not only attended the fairs but also have<br />
spent two evenings with the Saltdean Cub packs and all had a<br />
great time! We are very much looking forward to carrying out<br />
another Junior Neighbourhood Watch 6 week after school club<br />
at Saltdean Primary School during the Autumn/Winter months.<br />
The school are extremely happy to welcome us back.<br />
Autumn/Winter security poses different problems than during<br />
the summer months and in future articles we will give<br />
information on how you can keep safe and happy!!<br />
If you are not already a member of this successful NHW, then<br />
please get in touch and join us.<br />

Local Piano Teacher<br />
51<br />
Rachael Emily<br />
No one ever said: "I regret learning to play the piano!"<br />
Learning to play music has been proven to increase focus,<br />
reduce stress, build confidence, and improve concentration.<br />
On top of all that, it's fun! Playing an instrument is a lifelong<br />
skill that gives so much pleasure.<br />
Rachael first started teaching piano lessons on the south coast<br />
in 2010, having previously taught music in secondary schools<br />
in Essex and Kent. Whilst Rachael teaches a lot of school-age<br />
students, she also loves to teach adults, including complete<br />
beginners. Her studio's philosophy is to promote the<br />
enjoyment of music: listening, performing, and as a method of<br />
expression.<br />
● a GP by profession who wanted to play My Heart Will Go<br />
On to her husband on their wedding day<br />
● a 5-yr old who wants to be the next Elton John<br />
● a stroke victim who found piano playing to help regain<br />
motor skills<br />
● many 6yr olds who want to play Little Mix songs or Baby<br />
Shark!<br />
● a 45-yr old beginner student who wanted to play pop<br />
songs at a local open mic night<br />
● a father and daughter who wanted to take lessons for<br />
something to do together<br />
● a 60-yr old student who survived cancer and wanted a<br />
new hobby in life<br />
● a house music producer who wanted to improve<br />
keyboard skills<br />
● a middle-aged student who used music to help cope with<br />
mental health issues<br />
● a professional singer who needed to learn the piano to<br />
take a music teaching job<br />
● a mum-of-four who wanted to try the challenge of piano<br />
grade exams as something to do for herself.<br />
Lessons take place on Longridge Avenue, Saltdean, or in your<br />
own home.<br />
Whatever your goal is, get in touch to get started!<br />
www.PianoLessonsBrighton.com<br />
The path for every student is different: some like to play pop<br />
music, some like to play classical. Some students want to<br />
learn how to make up their own songs, or improvise over a<br />
chord sequence. Some students enjoy taking exams, but<br />
many want to play for their own pleasure.<br />
Here is a small selection of some of Rachael's students and<br />
their goals over recent years:<br />
● a teenager taking theory exams for extra UCAS points for<br />
university<br />
● an 80-yr old wanting to write his own musical<br />

Local History Comes to Life in Rottingdean<br />
In March this year our local history article covered the<br />
Hazelcar, Britain’s first mini car, the owner of one of the<br />
cars featured in the article heard about it and bought<br />
the vehicle to show people at the Rottingdean Fair in<br />
early August. Luckily Mike Laslett our local historian was<br />
on the scene to capture this picture for us.<br />

Time to Talk Befriending<br />
Have you heard of befriending? Could you help to make a<br />
difference?<br />
Befriending Charlotte (aged 89) by Harriet (aged 33) (Volunteer<br />
Befriender at Time to Talk Befriending)<br />
Whenever I’m asked what it’s like to be part of Time to Talk<br />
Befriending I always want to get across that it is hugely rewarding<br />
to be “part of the solution to loneliness and making an impact on<br />
someone’s life”. However, personally I don’t feel like I’m giving up<br />
anything to spend time with Charlotte who I have been visiting for<br />
3 years now, or that its even a charitable thing! The duality of the<br />
benefits to the be-friendship is just as important in my life as it is<br />
for Charlotte. There is something underrated about simply making<br />
time to sit and have a face to face chat, no technology, no mutual<br />
gossip but a connection stripped back to basics of wanting to have<br />
a real and quality connection with another human being. I have a<br />
hunch that if we dug into why people volunteer as befrienders it<br />
would show that we (volunteers) are looking for company in just as<br />
much the same way as the members are. Whilst it’s not necessarily<br />
loneliness in the conventional sense that is driving us to volunteer,<br />
with the increase of isolation in society, I think the work Time to<br />
Talk Befriending do and their befriending model will become<br />
increasingly important in society in recognising the value of<br />
connection. I can’t recommend befriending enough so if you have<br />
an hour to give once a week or once a fortnight please contact the<br />
team on 01273 737710 / volunteers@tttb.org.uk /<br />
www.tttb.org.uk/volunteers/ for further details. Especially if you<br />
live in the Saltdean area!<br />

Fishermen’s Friends (Cert<br />
Tuesday 24th <strong>September</strong><br />
I hope that you had a good summer. If you missed<br />
going away, here’s your chance to sample a bit of<br />
delightful Cornwall and listen to some familiar sea<br />
shanties at the same time.<br />
English folk has a history of regional variation and the<br />
Cornish tradition is well represented in this lighthearted<br />
and easy-going British comedy.<br />
You may have seen some of the plot devices before<br />
and you will certainly be familiar with the songs. Feel<br />
free to sing along to ‘What Shall We Do With The<br />
Drunken Sailor?’, etc. No prizes for best voice this<br />
time around. Cornwall is the unsung star of the film,<br />
reminding us of our own idyllic days in one of<br />
England’s best-loved regions.<br />
In 2010, a Cornish all-male folk ensemble released an<br />
album of sea shanties that reached number 9 in the UK<br />
chart. As quirky inspirational stories go, it’s hardly up<br />
there with ‘Calendar Girls’, but it has nonetheless been<br />
puréed into a double helping of feel-good mush. In real<br />
life, the Fisherman’s Friends were discovered by radio<br />
DJ Johnnie Walker, during a holiday to the fishing village<br />
of Port Isaac: a tale that lends itself more naturally<br />
to an item on breakfast TV than an entire feature film.<br />
Writers Meg Leonard, Piers Ashworth and Nick<br />
Moorcroft have reworked it into a formulaic comedy<br />
of opposites, with an obligatory town mouse/country<br />
mouse romance on the side. In the fictionalised version,<br />
the group are initially signed as a practical joke,<br />
after a braying record label executive (Noel Clarke) and<br />
his jaundiced A&R man Danny (Daniel Mays) watch<br />
them playing a harbourside gig during a stag weekend<br />
on the coast.<br />
The prank doesn’t seem to serve much of a purpose,<br />
beyond wasting the label’s own time and money, but<br />
gives the film an excuse to strand Danny in their picturesque<br />
village for what feels like weeks on end, as he<br />
starts to believe the band’s froth-tossed harmonies of<br />
yore might connect with a modern crowd. As such, he<br />
has to persuade the 10 singers to give stardom a crack,<br />
starting with their sceptical alpha-baritone Jim (a very<br />
good James Purefoy), whose daughter Alwyn (Tuppence<br />
Middleton) becomes another good reason for<br />
Danny to persuade the locals that he’s the real deal.<br />
Director Chris Foggin has assembled a talented and<br />
likeable cast, as the ruddy-cheeked chanteurs; and the<br />
To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk<br />
12a)<br />
film is shot on location in the relentlessly spectacular<br />
north Cornwall.<br />
Hapless heroes and underdogs are what inspires us to<br />
root for characters in fiction. There is plenty of rooting<br />
to be done here. ‘Fisherman’s Friends’ is awash with<br />
romantic interest that goes wrong; misunderstandings<br />
that almost bring about the capsizing of the local pub;<br />
and turbulent seas that threaten the success of our<br />
singers, as the commercial realities of the London<br />
music scene hit them amidships. All seems at stake at<br />
the mercy of the ensuing storm. Man the lifeboats,<br />
me boys - and as Bette Davis once said, in ‘All About<br />
Eve’: “it’s going to be a bumpy night”.<br />
Adapted from Robbie Collin’s review in The<br />
Telegraph.<br />
Next month, ‘All is True’, starring Kenneth Branagh &<br />
Judy Dench … and watch out for our Christmas charity<br />
special ‘The White Crow’, December 10, at the end of<br />
the season.

summer’s day. The doggies did us proud as we had another<br />
record breaking dog show. There were 70 entries on the day.<br />
Congratulations to all involved. Also, the tug-of-war<br />
competition was great fun again along with the popular<br />
family races. On behalf of the Lions I would like to thank<br />
everyone involved in the Gala and all who came along to<br />
support and take part. We will have to do it all again next<br />
year!<br />

Lower Site) is a special school in Brighton that caters for young<br />
people, amongst others, with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).<br />
medication or allergies. While focused on more vulnerable<br />
people, the scheme can benefit anyone in the event of an<br />
accident or sudden illness at home. All you have to do is to<br />
complete a form with your name, medicines, allergies and<br />
relatives’ contact details and put the form in the bottle. Then<br />
you put the bottle in your fridge. You will also be given two<br />
green stickers. Put one green sticker on the outside of the<br />
fridge door and the other one on the inside of your house door<br />
so the paramedics know there is a bottle in the fridge. If you<br />
would like more details please get in touch – see details below.<br />
If you would like more information on any of our service or<br />
fundraising activities or would like to lodge an interest in<br />

In conjunction with Brighton Lions we are also pleased to a<br />
support a local Girl Guide to attend a forthcoming<br />
International Camp. A note of thanks received from the Guide<br />
showed what a fantastic development opportunity this trip will<br />
be.<br />
Please don’t forget that on 20 October we have our popular<br />
Sponsored Swim at Roedean School Pool. The swim is held<br />
annually to raise money for local charities. Groups, through<br />
entered teams of any size, raise funds by obtaining<br />
sponsorship with the proceeds being split between their own<br />
choice of charity or good cause and Lions’ charities; once again<br />
this year the Lions’ principal beneficiary will be Chestnut Tree<br />
House Children’s Hospice. Teams swim for one hour with the<br />
aim of swimming as many lengths as possible. Please make<br />
contact soon if you would like to enter a team as we would like<br />
to see as many teams as possible enter to support the charities<br />
and your chosen good cause. The deadline for entries is Friday<br />
11 October but we ask if you could notify us as soon as you<br />
can if it is your intention to enter: contact details below.<br />
The Saltdean Youth Club, held on Friday evenings in Saltdean<br />
United Football Clubhouse, has attracted children from around<br />
our area and is going from strength to strength. We were<br />
therefore, pleased to help them raise £649 for a new table<br />
football, by their own efforts with stalls at our fairs topped up<br />
by a donation from us.<br />
While on the service front, the Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions<br />
supported Message in a Bottle initiative continues to be taken<br />
up widely. This scheme aims to ensure that vital information<br />
can be easily found when it is needed most. A simple idea<br />
designed to encourage people to keep essential personal and<br />
medical details on a standard form and in a common place –<br />
the fridge! This saves the emergency services valuable time if<br />
they need to enter a property in an urgent situation by both<br />
helping to establish your identity, and notifying any special<br />

Myofascial Release - the gentle release of<br />
connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in<br />
my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly<br />
relaxing and gentle space.<br />
I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot<br />
of different qualifications and training, but the<br />
therapy I am most passionate about and know<br />
first‐hand works completely is myofascial release,<br />
Myo-fascial is the connective tissue which joins<br />
everything together, covers everything, fills all the<br />
gaps holds you together, it has the memory of<br />
your life, it relays messages to your brain faster<br />
than the nervous System, every single thing that<br />
happens to you in your life whether it be good or<br />
bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial<br />
system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of<br />
collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers<br />
you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your<br />
skin, it moves constantly within your body, it<br />
penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle,<br />
ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are<br />
fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone<br />
hard and dehydrated, that is why generally<br />
women get more lower back problems then men<br />
because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and<br />
end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated<br />
and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and<br />
consequently pulls on areas like the lower back,<br />
fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop<br />
moving and therefore cause problems,<br />
discomfort, pain, disease for many many different<br />
reasons I generally call it life. Another example<br />
because we are one complete unit everything is<br />
connected you could have a pain in your shoulder<br />
and the pain could possibly originate in your lower<br />
back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial<br />
release is being called the missing link and I<br />
passionately believe this to be true, I believe in<br />
the not too distant future everyone will be having<br />
these treatments, The cause of discomfort, pain is<br />
the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer<br />
that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated,<br />
no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step<br />
on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I am highly<br />
trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body<br />

read to know where the problem is and then to<br />
un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about<br />
this treatment! I feel very passionately that<br />
everyone should understand how it works, and as<br />
much as possible be able to do it to themselves<br />
and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have<br />
that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs<br />
to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg<br />
or have an accident et cetera, I give these<br />
treatments which are extremely powerful but at<br />
the Same time very gentle, I also educate people<br />
so that they can self-care in the future and when<br />
they have a pain they understand why it's<br />
happening, and what they can do about it,<br />
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN.<br />
Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer<br />
than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!<br />

Clifden House Update<br />
65<br />
Case Study:<br />
Verna Rose<br />
In May 2014, Verna Rose, 87 was admitted to Clifden House<br />
Dementia Care Centre, Seaford as an emergency. Five years<br />
on, Verna’s niece, Valerie, shares their story and offers advice<br />
to others who may find themselves in a similar situation.<br />
My Aunt Verna is my father's sister, the youngest of four siblings.<br />
Verna celebrated her 92ⁿ birthday in August.<br />
Originally from Canada, Verna was always outgoing and athletic.<br />
Although she never married nor had children, Verna had a very<br />
tightknit group of five school friends - friendships that endured<br />
for well over 70 years.<br />
After qualifying as a teacher in her early twenties, Verna<br />
travelled to Europe, eventually settling in Brixton, London, where<br />
she worked as an art teacher in a number of schools.<br />
After retiring, Verna moved to Seaford, East Sussex. She travelled<br />
extensively, always discovering new hobbies and interests.<br />
In 2013, her closest friend was the first to notice a change in<br />
Verna. She found that Verna was not always clear of mind when<br />
speaking on the phone. I then contacted her GP and social<br />
services to arrange for Verna to be assessed in her home.<br />
Following this Verna was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s<br />
disease. Adaptations were made to her house and daily meal<br />
deliveries arranged - all in an effort to assist with Verna’s desire<br />
to remain at home.<br />
She has been at Clifden House for five years now, and<br />
occasionally still says that she wants to go home. Reassuringly,<br />
in the next sentence she will say how happy she is at Clifden<br />
House. I know that it is the right place for her to be.<br />
Verna has benefited greatly by being at Clifden House. She used<br />
her skills as an art teacher to collaborate with a local school to<br />
produce a large textile peacock – it looked stunning. Recently,<br />
Verna delivered a talk to local pupils about her experience of<br />
WW2 - memories that she has no difficulties accessing.<br />
I believe that these activities and daily stimulation has helped<br />
slow the process of Alzheimer’s. Sadly, we have noticed a decline<br />
in Verna over the last few months – but this was always inevitable.<br />
Dementia is like losing the person dear to you, long before they<br />
die. You must find the humour in the situation. Arguing or trying<br />
to correct them, only causes distress - just agree or change the<br />
topic. Enjoy each moment in that moment!<br />
This year Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford,<br />
celebrates 50 years of delivering exceptional care in Sussex.<br />
As a leader in specialist dementia care it aims to facilitate<br />
each person to continue to live a fulfilling and active life with<br />
privacy, dignity and security.<br />
www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460<br />
As is the nature of the disease, Verna continued to decline. By<br />
May 2014 it was obvious that Verna was not coping at home. It<br />
was very upsetting to see.<br />
The following day, alarmed by a sudden drastic headache, Verna<br />
called for an ambulance. She was admitted to hospital. With the<br />
assistance of the hospital social services, and with my support,<br />
Verna was placed in Clifden House, Seaford – a leading dementia<br />
care centre.<br />
Following a few weeks at Clifden House, social services<br />
concluded that it was the best place for her to remain<br />
permanently.<br />
Initially, Verna would waver between being totally accepting of<br />
the fact that she now lived at Clifden House to having moments<br />
of wanting to go ‘home’.<br />
One of my concerns was how Verna would adapt to living as part<br />
of a community at Clifden House. To my relief, within the first<br />
few months Verna’s overall health and brightness improved<br />
greatly - she was eating three home cooked, nutritious meals a<br />
day, taking her medications and being positively stimulated.<br />
