LETTER FROM THE VICAR Risen, Ascended, Glorified Ascension is perhaps the Cinderella of Christian festivals. It is so otherworldly: Jesus disappearing in a cloud and the angels promising that he would return in the same way. Ascension is really the companion pair of Christmas. At Christmas we sing, ‘He came down to earth from heaven.’ At Ascension we sing, ‘The head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now.’ At Christmas Jesus brought the presence of God from heaven to earth. He is Emmanuel, ‘God with us’. As he said to Philip, ‘If you have seen me you have seen the Father.’ At Ascension he took not just his humanity but the humanity of all that are spiritually in him back to heaven. Jesus said, ‘If I am lifted up I will draw all people to myself.’ Of course, between Christmas and Ascension comes Good Friday when Jesus was lifted up on a cross. Indeed it was because he was lifted up on the cross that he was then lifted up in the cloud of God’s glory. From there he is able to give gifts of healing to those who believe in him. ‘By his wounds we are healed.’ Rev Tim Ward, Vicar 7
THE ED’S PAGE Last month I wrote about ‘The end of Brexit?’ Glad I inserted the question mark! Pastor Ray touches on Brexit and the way we need to face changes in life whether or not we like it (page 11). We are indeed very fortunate in our villages to have such a dedicated and active group of local councillors. It is very heartening to know that a full complement, including 7 new councillors and 2 co-opted members, will take us into the coming year (page 36). Don’t forget the Annual Parish Meeting (page 37) and let Andy know you will be coming. It was a full house in the Pavilion on 11th April to hear Colin Chambers talk so knowledgeably about his experience in South Africa and his relationship with Nelson Mandela. There is a constant supply of interesting events in the area and this edition has its share (pages 9,15,23,24,25,34,35,37,40,42,45,47). Support what you can! Sometimes things go awry and a well founded rumour circulated that the Chip Van was changing to a Friday evening (at the request of a small group of villagers). After one disastrous visit, when they sold very little, and the intervention of Suzi Clarke, they have resumed their Thursday evening visits. Your attention is drawn to help needed at the Binsted Strawberry Fair (page 29) and the need for silent auction items or promises (page 17). This week I read the story of a woman, Kristie, who was concerned to alert her friends on Facebook to the use of children’s storybooks to promote gender ideology in the USA. Also she encouraged them to sign a petition challenging the government’s plans to introduce Relationships and Sex Education in Schools after attending a meeting at her child’s primary school where they were intending to introduce the ‘No Outsiders’ programme. (It was this programme which recently caused the school ‘strike’ in Birmingham where about 600 children were kept out of school by their (mainly Muslim) parents who objected to the content of the programme). One of Kristie’s ‘friends’ contacted the secondary school, where she had worked for 6 years as a pastoral assistant, and complained that “a member of your staff who works directly with children has been posting homophobic and prejudiced views against the lgbt community on Facebook”. Despite this being a misrepresentation of a private social media post the school suspended her and later dismissed her for gross misconduct. An appeal failed. The case is now being taken up by Christian Concern. However it begs the question as to the dangers of holding Christian beliefs at odds with current ideology and the trend towards the ‘policing of thought and belief’. I wonder if any of the Muslim parents would have been dismissed in similar circumstances? That, of course, would have been islamophobic! Strange world isn’t it? 8

WALBERTON BAPTIST CHURCH LIFE IS CHANGING - WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT! I think most of us would agree that life has a habit of working out very differently to what we had expected. That certainly seems to be the case with the ‘brexit’ negotiations that are dragging on endlessly with no certainty as to what the final outcome will be. It appears that everyone in Parliament has a different opinion of what is best for the country and there is little agreement about anything! Apart from the obvious conclusion that the people voted for one thing and the MP’s want something else, I suggest that it all comes down to the fact that human beings are very suspicious of change. We have a number of puppet sketches that we perform for our young people and they feature two characters called ‘Ebb and Flo’. In one of them they are arguing over some changes that Flo feels her husband Ebb, should make in his life. Ebb’s response is, “I don’t mind change, I embrace change, it’s this business of doing things differently that I don’t like!” Sometimes, change is forced upon us despite our best efforts to avoid it. One of the disciples of Jesus, Peter, thought he had a very clear idea of who he was, what he was capable of and how he would react in adverse circumstances. To his surprise, Jesus told him that he would crack under pressure and deny that he even was a disciple. Such a denial seemed inconceivable to the self-confident Peter, but it occurred just as predicted and it had a devastating but ultimately life enhancing effect on him. After the cock crowed, the Scriptures tell us that Peter went away and wept bitterly because he realised that what he thought was true of himself was far removed from the reality. Such heartfelt repentance was a highly significant moment in preparing this disciple for the ministry that God was calling him to. A traumatic personal experience produced a man who was no longer the self-sufficient and somewhat brash individual he had been, but a sensitive and loving disciple who was later able to write to fellow believers exalting them to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God so that He could use them in wonderful ways to help those in need. A lot of people have regrets when a loved one 11
has been taken from this life before they have managed to resolve disagreements that, in some cases, have lasted for many years. When death closes in, the opportunity to do and say many things is taken away, leaving regret and remorse to colour past memories. Fortunately for Peter, he was spared this because of a meeting he had with Jesus after the Resurrection. Following a night of fishing in which the disciples caught nothing, they were invited to a breakfast meal that had been prepared for them on the beach. The Lord Jesus used this occasion to repair the relationship that had been damaged earlier by Peter’s denial. Three times the question was, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” It was a hard time for Peter, especially when asked the third time. His reply was, “You know that I love you.” And Jesus said, “Feed My sheep” thereby assuring him that he was not being cast aside as he might have expected, but that he was forgiven, and the relationship was restored. There’s a person mentioned in Luke’s Gospel who received a magnificent pardon shortly before he died. He was one of those crucified with Jesus and although he admitted his guilt, he recognised who Jesus was and asked to be remembered by Him when Jesus came into His kingdom. The reply was, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Have you got that assurance? This criminal made so many mistakes in his life, but he got the most important thing right in the end by asking help from the Son of God! We’ve all fallen short in some way or other, but forgiveness is available to all who ask for the Saviour’s help. His resurrection can guarantee ours!

Now Ted attended church each week With regularity. His voice sustained the meagre choir With basic harmony. But, playing cricket was to him The first of all his loves; On Saturday you’d find him dressed In batting pads and gloves. But one thing troubled Edward’s mind, Through sermon, hymn and prayer, That Heaven could not Heaven be Unless there’s cricket there. One Sunday, after morning church, The Vicar beckoned Ted, And took him to the vestry where He kindly smiled, and said, “I’ve been in touch with Heaven for you And from enquiries made, There is a heavenly cricket league With teams of every grade. But, that’s not all” he added then, “I also have to say They told me that they’d got you down To play next Saturday.” Courtesy Gaye R. 13
WALBERTON VILLAGE HALL I hope you all had a great Easter and managed not to eat too much chocolate. A huge thanks to those of you that came to our quiz night last month, in the end we managed to get 8 tables and it was enough to fill the hall and make it feel like there was a great atmosphere. I thought it was slightly easier than last year as I managed to get 3 questions correct as opposed to last year when I got 1 correct!!! We need to think more carefully about the kind of fund-raising events to run in the future that will have more appeal to a wider audience, so if you have any fantastic ideas please let me know. As I have mentioned previously all this fund raising is so we can improve the acoustics at the Village Hall which are pretty dreadful, if you have ever been to a production or helped out at a Pre School session you will know. The great news is that, due to lots of hard work and Richard managing to secure some grants, we are now in a position to pay for acoustic panels in the hall which will dramatically improve the sound quality by absorbing the unwanted noise. Richard and I have been busy meeting various acoustic companies and we hope to secure a contractor over the coming weeks, with the plan to have the work done during the start of the school summer holidays. This is very exciting for us as this is something we have been working towards for some time, so it’s very satisfying to finally see it coming together. Hopefully you will all notice the difference when the work is completed and you won’t have to shout to be heard! Please don’t forget the Village Hall AGM on Monday 13th May at 7pm, it will be held in the small hall and there will be drinks and nibbles beforehand and a chance to mingle and chat before we get down to business; all are welcome so please come along if you can. As always, if you wish to get in touch with any comments or suggestions my email address is manager@walbertonvillagehall.org Fiona Horton 14

April brought the start of spring at the Playcentre and a lovely start with fabulous warm weather. The children have been enjoying spending most of their time in the garden or on the field with trips to the park. We did have lots of rain one week and whilst the garden took a little battering from the elements, the children had great fun donning their wellies and coats, and jumping in the muddy puddles. We have been talking together about growing things, and what things plants and animals need for them to grow each week. The children planted a bean in a glass jar so that we could see how the bean is developing and how tall it was getting. There was much excitement to see the bean changing, it grew roots and a shoot developed out of it. We had some of the children planting a bean in the garden as well. We have also enjoyed looking after and caring for some tadpoles. One of our Practitioners has a pond in their garden and brought them in for the children to explore the life cycle of a frog. The children are interested in how the tadpoles change. They have seen the changes each week, watching them getting bigger. There have been opportunities for the children to look after them and help to change the water and feed them, as well as learning that we must use pond or rain water for them. We have also been investigating animals and everyone has shown a great interest in where the animals live, including looking at what animals live on the farm. The children have been enjoying lots of tactile and sensory activities for this. We made mud out of corn flour and cocoa powder, which the children loved as they got to explore with fingers and enjoy the chocolate scent of the mud. We also made our own habitat for the animals; we used one of the big trays 16
and filled it with sand, artificial grass, hay, and shredded wheat for mud which the pigs and cow could enjoy, and a small bowl of water for the duck. The children loved exploring and playing with this. In addition to this we watched a video showing animals in their natural habitat and looked at what noises animals make. We were lucky to be visited by two chickens owned by one of our Trustees, which really brought the topic to life. We have also been looking at creatures under the sea. It’s been very busy in our arts and craft corner. The end of March brought Mother’s Day and the children got busy making thoughtful cards and gifts for those who held a special place in their hearts. Some of the children made paper flowers and placed their painted hand prints on a plant pot filled with beautiful plants. We have also enjoyed making playdough that was different colours and had different scents, some of the playdough even had different textures to develop the children’s sensory exploration. We are excited to see what else spring will bring us. If you would like to enquire about our nursery and out of school sessions please email us at info@communityplaycentre.org Toni Lean Childcare Practitioner YOUR GENEROUS HELP PLEASE! During the Open Gardens Event on June 23rd St Mary’s Church will be conducting a silent auction in the Village Hall. They would be very grateful to receive either good quality items to be auctioned or ‘promises’, which will also be auctioned. Email Kevin Durban Jackson: k11kdj@gmail.com Phone: 07712 004500 17

We had a busy Saturday recently, with a team of volunteer parents who kindly gave up their time to come and tidy up our garden areas. During the tidy up, we did some pruning and discovered a bird’s nest – how exciting! Later that week, we went exploring to see if we had any more… and we found another one, tucked neatly away in our Clematis plant that grows along our boundary fence, behind the Village Hall. But on closer inspection, we spied something shocking; the nest is made of twigs, as you’d expect, but the bird has also used bubble wrap...! It’s so sad. Everyone who has seen the nest says “aah” and then “oh no!” when they see the plastic. Inspired by this, I suggested that our pre-schoolers go on a litter pick… We started by looking at the nest, and I wasn’t prepared for how cross the children got. They were so sad that the poor bird had used plastic rubbish to make its nest. We walked around the recreation ground and the children pointed out rubbish for the (gloved) teachers to pick up and put in our bags. I didn’t think we’d find much, but we got 3 carrier bags full of mostly sweet wrappers. How sad, and how unnecessary. The children were commenting “why do people drop rubbish?” I’m so proud of them and their caring attitudes. I don’t think they’ll drop litter when they’re older. We have had a lot of prospective new pre-schoolers visit recently. One day, a little lad was visiting with his Mum. It was register time and I commented that one little girl wasn’t going to be in today, because she was feeling poorly and had a headache. One of our Robins (remember, this happened in the younger class…) chirped up “oh, she’s probably dehydrated”. I looked at the other staff and at the visiting Mum, “did that 3 year old just say that??” “Oh yes,” he said “if she has a headache, she’s probably dehydrated”. Another little boy added “Yeah, dehydrated means that she needs to have a drink from her bottle”. The visiting Mum looked me in the eye and said, “are you paying them to say this?!” Honestly, you couldn’t make it up!! 19
Our PTA have kindly purchased some new garden equipment for us. We have a lovely baby greenhouse, which will provide a cosy space for our seedlings to grow and is already full of prospective new plants as I write this. We’ve also got some fantastic new spades and forks – just like adult ones, but smaller. I illustrated how sharp they are to the children before we let them use them, by chopping a carrot in half with a spade. Now, the children ask “can we have the sharp spades” and they have learned to use them responsibly. Another visiting parent commented “it’s lovely to see the children being taught to use proper equipment safely”. If you’d like to see more photos of us, please have a look at our Facebook page… Helen Baxter Walberton Open Gardens Day Sunday June 23rd WILL YOU HELP?

MULOA MULOA is the new buzz acronym in Mothers’ Union circles. What does that stand for, I hear you thinking? I didn’t know either; that is until I attended a meeting in Selsey, when all was made clear. Mothers’Union Listening, Observing and Acting is an initiative which helps the organization lay out its plans up to 2020. It takes members forward not only in this country but globally through the coming years. MULOA is a process that will enable all 600 dioceses in which MU works to listen to each other, to the people we serve and to partners, so that we can create the future together. It will help MU to be clear about our God-given purpose and direction in our local and global context. It will energize and inspire relationships and calling so that we can be more effective in making a difference in our world. At the meeting, we were encouraged to share our ideas and events that were taking place back in our own branches. One village had begun to make small bags to hand out to the mums at the school gate, on that very first day of school, when it is not always easy to part with a little 4 year old. Tears are often shed not only by the child but often the mother! In the bags were placed tea bags, biscuits, a prayer card and....... a small packet of tissues!! This was just one small example of showing thoughtful kindness within a local community. Now to some local news: Scilla Page, Walberton branch committee member, is a trustee on the Diocesan Board of Mothers’ Union and at a Service in Chichester Cathedral was commissioned along with fellow trustees by The Right Reverend Dr Martin Warner. The Service began with a procession of the many banners Continued overleaf 21
from all over the diocese and made an inspiring sight through the length of the cathedral. It was a great shame that this was the day that our rather elderly banner decided enough was enough and broke in two! Perhaps time to be replaced? ( See attached photo) We sang many beautiful hymns but perhaps the following words helped sum up our united thoughts from the Service: We are pilgrims on a journey And companions on the road; We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load. Liz Brown WALBERTON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Our Spring Show was a little disappointing but we were up against two large sporting fixtures so we could understand this. Our shows are booked a year ahead as we have to obtain judges, and also avoid clashing with other horticultural shows in the area, so the dates cannot be changed at the last minute. This year the spring flowers were mostly over too, the warm weather having accelerated the blooms, particularly the daffodils, which added to the shortage of items on the show bench. First prize winners were: David Donovan, Annabelle Heath, Mary Kendrick, Margaret Ginman, Pat McChesney, Ann Cannings, Brenda Bailey, Keith Perry, Liz Hewson, Laurie King, Eva Pendreich and Carol Smith. Cups and Trophies: The Spring Domestic Salver: David Donovan, The Floral Art Salver: Carol Smith, The Millennium Cup: Margaret Ginman, The Peggie Findlay Memorial Bowl: Annabelle Heath and The Alpine Cup: Eva Pendreich. Brian Kendrick, Chairman 11TH MOONLIGHT WALK SET FOR 11TH MAY A walk to remember a loved one, a walk for fun with family and friends and a walk to show you care.

BOOKS YOU MAY ENJOY The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk If you enjoyed books like Fitzroy Maclean’s ‘Eastern Approaches’, Eric Newby’s ‘A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush’, or others about adventures in Central Asia, this book is practically essential reading. Though not the originator, the name ‘The Great Game’ was popularised by Rudyard Kipling in his great novel, Kim. The author who travelled widely in the areas he describes, was a journalist for ITN, New York correspondent for the Daily Express and worked for The Times for 20 years, 5 of them as chief reporter and then as their expert on the Middle and Far East. He was uniquely qualified to write this book. It charts the great 19th century clashes between empires, mostly British and Russian, in extending their empire towards India in Russia’s case, or protecting our own interests in India in ours. While the story covers politics and strategy in London, India and St Petersburg, it focuses primarily on the area between the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea and eastwards. There are events in the great romantic cities like Bokhara and Samarkand, the mountains of the Pamirs and the Hindi Kush, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and of course Afghanistan. At the heart of the story are young men, many of them soldiers and political officers, who were lured by the adventure of travelling into places where no European had been before. In doing so they were trying to counter the activities of their equivalents from Russia as well as mapping mountain passes, deserts, lush valleys and gaining intelligence of the areas through which they travelled. This was 26
dangerous work; they often travelled in disguises such as holy men or horse traders. Several paid for their adventures with their lives. At this time there were few national borders and many of the occupants were Khanates with only a traditional hold over an imprecise area. Afghanistan played a central role in the 19th century, as it does today, thanks to its location and population. There is in full the story of the first Afghan war when only one soldier escaped back to India. There is bravery, loyalty and often death, all leavened by incompetence and stupidity, government duplicity, action and inaction. Key to many events were the passes leading down into India with its riches the Russians wanted for their own. Russia and Britain nearly came to war on a number of occasions. Notably in 1885 over the Russian occupation of a remote Afghan village. War was avoided, principally by the diplomacy of the Afghan Emir, Abdur Rahman rather than Gladstone’s government which was variously described as showing consummate statecraft, lamentable vacillation or abject surrender. Russia’s move from its centuries under Genghis Khan’s yoke to developing an empire of its own is a lesson for all of us today. It helps us understand their expansion again into Central Asia following the fall of the USSR, their adventures into Africa and South America, as well as their constant threats to Eastern Europe. They are dangerous empire builders and do not take kindly to being thwarted. This is a book about adventure, power-play between great nations and a fascinating study of an area which is rarely away from the news today. There are many striking parallels with today's’ world. Patrick Dealtry Neighbourhood Plan Review Thank you to so many of you who took the time to complete the questionnaire 124 on line, PC - 6, shop - ? church – 17, Sue - 4 have already been submitted as we write this. Next steps The Steering Group will be reviewing all sites against the aims published in our Plan. A few policies will be reviewed and updated as necessary.

The Binsted Bugle STAKERS OF BINSTED REMEMBERED IN AUSTRALIA In February I was emailed by Geoff Staker from Australia. He said: ‘Thank you for your very informative guided video tour with Richard Vobes featuring the ancient forest of Binsted and land that was once occupied by my forebears. … My ancestor, Henry Staker (1640 - 1712), lived at Binsted house. His descendants continued to live there until the mid-19th century.’ Geoff continued: ‘I have added my name to your petition and I wish you and your associates the very best of luck in your efforts to prevent the destruction of Binsted. It is a delightful and historically important area. You have demonstrated that British heritage encompasses far more than bricks and mortar.’ Richard Vobes’ video about Binsted, including Binsted Woods and Binsted House, and the threat to them from the Arundel bypass, can be found on YouTube. Geoff’s great-great-great-grandparents, Francis and Harriet Staker, emigrated to South Australia with their infant son in 1837. The Pioneers’ Association of South Australia has a copy of a letter written by Harriet to her mother in Chichester soon after their arrival. Geoff sent me an article, ‘Pioneers of the Mid-North’, about Harriet Staker, quoting the letter. ‘We had a very Harriet Staker pleasant voyage, and no bad weather. Neither Frank, myself or the child had one day’s sea-sickness all the way out.’ The child, also called Frank, ‘says he will buy a great ship and fetch you and his grandfather’. Frank and Harriet found work with Barton and Bridget Hack, who also provided a rent-free cottage. Frank was paid £4 a month plus rations, while Harriet received 10/- a week to char for the Hacks. Frank and Harriet bought their own land at Allens Creek near Kapunda, and built a small chapel (they were devout Methodists). Frank Junior died in 1869, 32
and Frank Senior in 1871. Both are buried beside the family chapel. In 1894 their descendants gave the chapel to Lutheran settlers, in return for its upkeep and maintenance of the family graves. In 1906 a parcel next to the chapel was sold for the building of a larger chapel, while the old chapel was used as a school. The second church is still in use, and the two Staker graves are cared for. Geoff’s email went on: ‘I don’t fully understand the emotional link I feel for that area. It’s a bit odd given that so many generations have passed since the family lived there. Highways England must be detached from reality. Maybe they have something in common with the government we have here: They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.’ I have sent Geoff pictures of the old Binsted House and of the Stakers and Reads enjoying Binsted Park. One day, if Geoff visits this country, I hope to arrange a meeting between him and his relatives who still live in the area – the Pethers and Staker families. Emma Tristram PICTURE QUIZ! - SOME ANSWERS! Several readers know the door well. It is in the lone tree on the footpath to the east of ‘The Forge’, heading towards the golf course. As you can see it is occupied all year round and has a seasonal wreath at Christmas, placed by the local gnome according to Bob and Christine Stephens. However according to 7 year old Alys Longhurst (Meg Siragher’s great niece) when shown a picture (right), she said “I think it’s a squirrel. It might be a princess squirrel with its Mum the Queen and its Dad the King.” Who are we to disagree? 33
www.binsted.org/arts-festival Day 3 of the Festival: SUNDAY 9 June in Binsted Woods with Nick Sturt and Frances Abraham, members of the team who produced ‘The Flora of Sussex’ in 2018. Are the parts of Binsted Woods that have grown up since 1600 any different from the rest in terms of the plants that they hold? Frances and Nick will illustrate this question as we consider the plants of ancient woodland. Places are limited to 25 participants. Price: £10 pp. led by Janine Creaye (creator of the Binsted Waymarker) making “A BINSTED TREE OF LIFE” using silver-coated copper wire. The wire is soft to handle and looks good at any level of experience. Participants will each make a silver leaf before moving on to make Binsted creatures of their choice: fish, dormice, bats or even a knucker. Creations can be taken home at the end of the session. Places are limited to 12 participants. Price £15 pp. Folk music as you have never heard it before, performed by DUCK SOUP at St Mary’s Church, Binsted. Adam Bushell on marimba, musical saw & phonofiddle; Ian Kearey on bass guitar, mandolin & 12-string dobro; and Dan Quinn on melodeon & vocals. Their wide-ranging repertoire includes English and French-Canadian traditional music, but knows no boundaries. A fitting finale to this year’s festival. Expect the unexpected.

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS By the time you read this the Parish Council will have a new group of Councillors, we wish them well in their role. We have our full quota of Fontwell Councillors too which is more important than ever now that the Dandara development will be applying for their reserved matters planning soon. Thank you for heeding our plea for new councillors. Seven people put themselves forward for nomination so they will be deemed elected as of 3rd May. In addition, 2 others are willing to be co- opted at the annual council meeting on 14th May so for the first time in almost 2 years we will have a full complement. Welcome to Fontwell ward – Andy Vawer and Paul Fisher; Walberton and Binsted ward – Andrew Ratcliffe, Donald Mcelvogue, Keith Stevens, Malcolm Porter and Suzanne Clark. Highways England have shared the latest information about the new A27 consultation including the corridor options, 3 of which will severely impact our parish. The Parish Council has formed a Highways Working Party primarily to concentrate on the A27 and A29 bypasses. Fortunately, we have some very knowledgeable residents who are helping us to go through the data and understand the implications to our parish. Please contact the Clerk if you might be interested in joining this group. We will keep you updated. We have also responded to the A29 consultation, including concerns about the absence of a Shripney bypass, the lack of consideration to other routes, the inadequacy of changes to the Fontwell roundabout and the significant increase in housing numbers (of over 1000 extra) to fund Phase 2 of the project. Annual Parish Meeting – Tuesday 21st May This is your opportunity to “Have My Say” and meet your new councillors – see page 37 for full details and please don’t forget to let us know if you are coming. 36

2019 - YEAR OF VOCATION A COLONIAL BOY My name is Kevin Durban-Jackson, married to Chantal and we have lived in the Village since 2001. My background, a 5th generation White African. My forebears left Birmingham in 1818 on one of 12 ships that were carrying volunteers out to the new Cape Colony. My Great, Great, Grandfather was born on the high seas in 1818 so he was fortunate to survive. The early settlers had a precarious life and over the years some migrated northwards till they arrived in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in about 1882. Our history defines us, so embedded in my DNA is a venturesome spirit. I’m the eldest of seven children, raised up in a devout catholic home. I had a good but strict education under the Jesuits and excelled at Rugby and Cricket. I elected not to go to University because my parents had sacrificed everything for our education and there were more behind me to be paid for. There was no free schooling. I would describe myself as a people person, outgoing and gregarious. People fascinate me because each is formed by their own life’s experience. They each have a unique history and I want to hear their story. I have worn many business hats in my career. Ironically my first job was a stitch up. I thought I was to be trained as a Publishing trainee manager with Caxton Publishing. Too late, I had left College after taking early “A” levels, and I was to sell Caxton Encyclopaedias. It was a godsend in hindsight because my natural vocational gift came out. I could sell ice to Eskimos! I was top sales achiever from my second month and bought a car 6 months later. My teachers and left behind college mates were astounded. Following UDI (Ian Smith our Prime Minister, declared a Unilateral State of Independence) and sanctions soon followed. Caxton Publishing relocated to South Africa and I did not want to go there. This also meant that my aspirations of travelling around Europe were 38
curtailed because I was “persona non-grata” on my Rhodesian passport. Help was at hand. My Father had been appointed CEO of Customs and Excise in newly independent Malawi, which meant that because my Mum was British I could apply for a British passport. I joined The Portland Cement Company of Malawi as an Assistant Accountant; my last job having been with The Netherlands bank of Rhodesia, had given me accounting skills. This was my steepest learning curve. I followed the paper trail from factory floor to accounting ledger and was confirmed in the job. This was a great opportunity given me and I learnt that nothing is impossible when you take on the right attitude of mind. Just get on with it and use your initiative. Chantal with her young son in tow came out to Malawi as a Secretary in the French Embassy and that is how we met and subsequently married. Africa I felt offered no long-term future for a young family and so we immigrated to England. After a short spell in New Zealand we came back to be nearer our families and since then have never looked back. My longest and most satisfying career was with British Telecom, where I excelled as an Account Sales Director. I had the satisfaction of mentoring and empowering many young people within my group to stretch themselves towards higher goals. More rewarding and responsible positions. To summarise. I was given opportunity and encouragement to succeed and I took those chances. Consequently I love to encourage and empower others. My sales success was driven by the fact that the proposition I was offering would yield real cost benefits. My mantra “Don’t fear failure, build on your mistakes and experiences” I’m still involved with Business people today as VP of a Christian men’s group. I now enjoy my Church life as a Reader, Church Warden and not so good golfer. My faith in God has been my strength and joy. Kevin Durban-Jackson 39

WALBERTON NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH I am afraid that this month I have to report three break-ins in Fontwell and Walberton. The first crime took place during the day on Wednesday 13th March where front and rear number plates were stolen from a vehicle parked in Arundel Road, Fontwell. Crime No. 1216. The second happened during the night of 28th March in West Walberton Lane. Criminals cut padlocks on a gate, walked across a field and stole from an outhouse 2 chainsaws, 2 motorbikes and expensive tools. The total haul ran in to thousands of pounds. The victims have now installed more security to prevent this ever happening again including dogs, although parts of the property is protected by lights etc. Crime No. 47190046244. The third crime occurred during the night of 1st April in Eastergate Lane. Twelve storage containers were broken into having their padlocks cut. Nothing of value was in any of them but a quad bike and tools were stolen. If anyone heard something or noticed anything suspicious with any of these crimes please contact the police on 101. I am sure you don't need me to tell you to keep secure all outbuildings and garages, especially buildings that may be away from the house. Perhaps invest in security lights and cameras if need be. Could be money well spent knowing that your belongings are safe from theft and the inconvenience that such crimes lead to. Now that Spring is here our thoughts naturally start to turn to holidays.... book it safely and don't become a victim of holiday fraud! Thousands of people in the UK become victims of holiday fraud every year, duped by fake websites, advertisements, emails, texts or phone calls. They lose their holiday and their hard earned money. Listed below are 10 top tips for safe holiday bookings to avoid such fraud:- ● Thoroughly research accommodation, flights, cruises or package holidays advertised on private advertisements to check they are authentic. ● Check that accommodation really exists by finding it on Google Maps and looking for third party reviews and recommendations. ● Check reviews on TripAdvisor. ● Paying by credit card means more chance of getting your money back. ● Never transfer money in payment for holidays. If you do and it's fraud, your bank will not be obliged refund your money. Continued overleaf 43
● Confirm travel agents and tour operators are members of trade associations such as ABTA or ATOL. ● Ensure the payment page is secure and it begins with "https" and has a locked padlock window frame. ● Be wary of unusually cheap holidays or high deposits. ● Check terms and conditions prior to payment. ● Keep confirmations and payment receipts, and check statements for irregular entries. ● Obviously all these items are commonsense but it never does any harm for us all to read them again! On Monday 8th April, a resident noticed, when buying a newspaper at around 7.15am, that two individuals were picking the daffodils and narcissi from opposite the shops. They approached the resident asking what was the problem as they were being stared at. Having explained that it was his girlfriend’s mother’s funeral that day and they wanted “open” flowers. Why, they were asked, didn’t they buy the flowers earlier and let them open themselves. No answer to that! It was explained to them that it was John Heathcote’s funeral that day and he probably planted the bulbs himself. No reaction and off they drove in a new BMW. It beggars belief!

SCAMS – GET SAFE ON LINE At Mothers Union March meeting PC Moorey from Chichester Community Support spoke about protecting yourself and your finances. Always look carefully at the fake e-mail address; and note any spelling errors, for instance “25.03.19 TV Licensing 2019 > info@ rotarolypoly.co.uk Your TV licenSe could not be renewed…” PC Moorey encouraged us to report the scams we receive on line because each report helps Action Fraud build up a picture of the people behind these activities and track them down. www.actionfraud.police.uk or ring 0300 1232040 in order to make an instant contact. PC Moorey stressed that if you have been ‘caught’ by a scam it is not that you are stupid – you are one of many who have been deceived by just one of these often well-presented internet webpages. You may have read on page 43, February & April 2019 Parish News, the excellent articles Get Safe Online by Laurie King,- Walberton Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator. They are good to read again.

A SENSE OF GRATITUDE? Maybe God can snip the strings that make me jerk like a puppet: the money strings, the bills and accounts, the budgets, taxes, savings, the calculations of what to give and when. The more I plan (obsess), the more Jesus rolls his eyes, gives a lopsided smile, and says: I’ve told you already: give it all, and give it now. Camels, eyes of needles, he says; not worrying about tomorrow, which will have enough worries of its own. He’s also re-telling that story of the chap whose storage was overflowing with so much wealth, he decided to build more, not realising he would be dead by tomorrow. I have a feeling this would apply to my first-world problems of which holiday trip to take and which retirement housing to plan for. Maybe God can snip the strings, the money strings, and collapse me into a quiet heap of gratitude for all that I have, enough, more than enough; and reconnect me more gently for a dance of generosity that doesn’t calculate, but that gives as it trusts that each day there will be daily bread, enough, more than enough.
