From Father Ian
What a mess!
The recent politicking in the run-up to the general election
has come to a predictable conclusion.
How and why?
Well there was certainly a lack of accurate information that would have been useful
to electors when trying to fulfil their duty and make their best judgements. There
was also a sense that the government believed all the important arguments were
already won and there was no need for the politicians to do much to persuade the
electorate.
These two things point to a disconnection between the politicians and the voters.
The electorate do not like to be taken for granted.
Of course 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones', and I am struck by some
similar disconnections within the church's attempt at democracy. I do not see,
nationally, much connection between Parochial Church Councils, Deanery Synods,
Diocesan Synods and the General Synod. The distance between the average
churchgoer and the upper echelons of power in the Church is as vast as is that from
the 'man on the Clapham omnibus' and the Prime Minister.
How do we strengthen these democratic endeavours?
Firstly, I think, by truthful and accessible reporting. The political spin of newspaper
owners is subversive to the truth, and very damaging to the way we want to be.
Secondly, perhaps we need to relearn the art of debate. True debating involves a
knowledge of the subject so that you could almost argue it from any side.
Thirdly, we need to put much more effort into democracy, not leaving things just to
the 'people who like that sort of thing' or to those who feel they have a natural 'right'
to exercise power and make decisions for others.
In the meantime, do pray for politicians, and for all those, around the world, who rule
and govern.
Every blessing,

BOXGROVE PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
JUNE 2017
Having commented on the WSCC plans for improvements to the A285 between
Chichester and Petworth addressed to Katy Bourne, our Police and Crime
Commissioner, I was disappointed with a response from Ian Jeffrey, the Sussex Police
Road Safety Officer. He fully supports the measures proposed by WSCC as I
outlined in last month's report. No mention of any thoughts to reduce the speeds on
this stretch of road though I've noticed Police Motor Cycle Patrol signs have
appeared recently!!
After the recent Slow Down Week it has been suggested that more could be done to
tidy up the Street Scene. Perhaps frontages to properties could receive a little more
attention either by owners or possibly volunteers as was the case during the traffic
calming exercise. Jim McDonald will welcome any thoughts on this matter.
Once again the riding of off road type motorcycles has become a nuisance across the
Common and in Tinwood Lane. It is apparently youngsters from across the A27
divide who are responsible: they have been seen riding over the foot/cycle bridge and
up The Street, quite illegally, with no means of identifying them, i.e. registration
numbers. They will of course carry no insurance either! The days of informing the
PCSO have now passed, so confrontation, with the risk of abuse, seems the only
answer. Reporting to the Constabulary hardly brings results! They don't have the
resources any longer.
The plans for a new Sports Pavilion, in place of the very tired, 30 year old, existing
one, have been finalised and presented to the CDC planning department for
consideration. Now, serious fund raising must begin to bring this to fruition. A new
lease for this purpose has been agreed between the PC and the Sports Club.
Progress with the restoration work to the Windmill is still slow, though they have
manage to hang tiles completely round the structure up to a height of about 2
metres! A long way to go yet! I think the 18 week schedule for completion was very
ambitious.
The next meeting of the PC is on Monday 3rd of July. There is no meeting in August.

BOXGROVE WI REPORT, JUNE 2017
The President, Chris Potter, welcomed Members and a guest to the June meeting.
The speaker for this meeting was to have been our County Chairman, Yvonne Price,
who would have spoken on Pathology, but she was in London being inducted to the National Board. Chris had managed to find a Speaker to replace Yvonne: Rebecca
Robertson, from the Chichester Library. Her talk centred around all that the Library
could offer people: there are a vast number of services and help available if you need
it! Her talk was highly entertaining and most knowledgeable. Rebecca first joined
the Library Service as a fifteen-year-old Saturday Girl in Selsey and could not see
herself doing anything else.
We were then treated to homemade shortbread and cakes made by Pauline O'Hare,
one of our newer members. After tea, the minutes of last month's meeting were read and Matters Arising were discussed. The West Sussex News was read and
various activities noted and put on the board to be passed around. Reports from the
Garden Event, the Pot Luck Lunch and the visit to Exbury Gardens were received.
Our July meeting will host Diana Beck, speaking on experiences "Behind the Dentist's
Chair". The Lunch Club will visit The White Hart at Stopham later this month.
The Resolution results were given, but no report received as yet!
Future Events
There is to be a Village Fete on July 23rd, opening at 12.30 until 5.00pm. The WI will
be running a 'guess the weight of a cake' and 'guess the number of Marshmallows in a
jar' and 'the number of Jelly Beans in a jar'. We will also be involved in the Baking and Flower Arranging classes. Both will have two age groups, under 14 and 15, and over.
Entry forms for these classes will be available from the Manager's Office at the Village
Hall. We will endeavour to help with the many
other attractions on the day.
Literary Lunch
The ticket sales are going well for this popular
event.
Two Members will be visiting Denman College on 9th and 10th of July and a team of four from
Boxgrove will be attending a Quiz at North
Mundham WI.
The President thanked all who had helped at the
Garden Event and this afternoon! The Raffle was
drawn and the meeting closed at 4.40 pm.

THE OPTIMISTIC GARDENER
High Trees - June 2017 - No.5
Pests, peas and Pet
“One of these days you are going to get a
fork through your foot!", I moan, and for
the umpteenth time pick up and propel
into flight my constant digging companion,
Pet, who takes the opportunity of Janet's
weeding activities as a sign that there is a
free take-away on offer. Pet, as you may
have guessed, is a chicken - well, so as not
to offend her, a bantam chicken. And if
we are going to be truly pedantic, a Lemon
Millefleur booted bantam hen.
Having hens free ranging around the garden is a double-edged sword; on the one
hand it is good to watch their antics as they move around the garden like animated
garden ornaments knowing that they are feasting on our slugs. On the other hand
they are a constant source of worry - will the fox pay us a visit today? Our means of
protecting them may sound a little optimistic (of course) but so far it has worked for
us. We let them out of their palatial residencies only in the afternoon once they have
laid their eggs, and only if we are going to be around in the garden - which happens to
be quite a lot of afternoons! But the ultimate deterrent is our use of Radio 4.
"Would the fox prefer Radio 2?", I hear you say. The theory is that the fox hears
voices and slinks off into the undergrowth complaining that those Reeveses spend all
their time chatting in the garden.
The hens are not the only cause of concern in the garden. We have a constant battle
against critters which believe we are growing vegetables and fruit especially for them.
Aphids, cabbage white butterflies (or rather their leaf-coloured caterpillars), slugs,
snails, whitefly, carrot root fly, but at present the terrorist of the veg. patch is that
unlikely thief, the wood pigeon. The raised beds are covered with edifices which look
as though they ought to be at the Tate.
Gerry is particularly fond of fresh peas and it is his ambition to sow them succession-
ally so we have peas throughout the summer. He began his first row using the
traditional pea sticks - no contest for the wood p., so hubby surrounded the 4 foot
row with an old length of chicken wire (plenty of that lurking in the undergrowth for
the unsuspecting gardener to become entangled in). Well this slowed down the
pigeon but it didn't take it long to work out a vertical descent reaps rewards and the
next parry was to put a framed net on the top, leaving only a 30 cm strip about a
/continued overleaf
Janet with Pet
Page 10
metre off the ground. Yes - you guessed correctly - pigeons can fly sideways. So
now the pea bed has more of the appearance of a shanty town and goodness knows
how we are going to pick the peas should they ever get to that stage.
The carrots are prone to a pest called carrot root fly which - poor things - can fly no
higher than 18" off the ground so we surround designated carrot bed with a curtain
wall two feet high made from an industrial sized roll of mesh fabric liberated from the
art cupboard at our old school. Nobody had used this material in the 26 years I had been there. In fact nobody knew what the
stuff was for in the first place (I suspect
tapestry may have been taught at Storrington
in the 19th century.) So when it was tossed
into the skip, the Reeveses saw an
'opportunity' and staggered home with it. We have had our first thinnings of the
carrots and so far the carrot root flies have
not scaled the heights.
We are very modern in our enthusiasm for recycling, or more accurately re-using. The
climbing bean bed is a perfect example. The
poles are made from a tough plastic tubing which an old neighbour who worked for
BT gave to us, and the mini-cloches are exquisitely fashioned from old 2 litre
lemonade bottles with top and bottom sliced off, through which the young plants can
escape the predations of the slugs - although I haven't seen much slug damage this year - maybe the dry May is the reason. The bottles also direct the watering down to
the roots of each plant where it is needed. Another part of the lemonade bottle
which is re-used is the cap, which we fix to the ends of the horizontal ridge pole to
avoid skewering our eyeballs. However the beans grow so well and the poles are so
long that we need step ladders to pick them!
It pays to have a totter's mentality when gardening organically. Shall I take those old
window panes to the tip? Heavens! No! They will make perfect mini-greenhouses to
warm the soil. What about putting these currant prunings on the bonfire? Don't be
daft - they will make excellent markers for the ends of rows of seeds. (That is how
we ended up with so many small currant bushes one year.) Why are you putting that 2 litre milk bottle in the recycling bin? They make superb plant labels when cut into
strips. I am not as extreme as organic guru Bob Flowerdew, who has dead freezers
and old bicycle parts decorating his allotment as well as car tyres, old rusty bed heads
and flat panel radiators. One of my more unusual re-usings is the use of dead violin
bows as supports for my peppers and aubergines in the greenhouse.
However, despite looking like Steptoe & Son's yard, our veg. patch comes up with the
goods and we have eaten our first truly High Trees meal of the year. I won't make
you salivate over the menu but, amazing to say, it did include fresh garden peas!

DUCK CONFIT TART
(otherwise known as 'Heart Attack Pie!')
This month’s recipe is from Priory Choir member (and the Priory’s new ‘Cathedral Link’), Mike Beaman
Preparation: 40 minutes
Cooking: 45 minutes, 200 degrees C (fan)
Serves 6
For the pastry:
250g self raising flour,125g butter in small pieces, cold water
For the filling:
400g tin of duck or goose confit (available from Waitrose or the Auchan in Boulogne)
500g small whole potatoes, cooked
4 eggs
75ml milk
2 tbsp double cream
4 shallots, diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed, peeled and chopped
bunch of flat leaf parsley, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper or Bajan spice
Method
Make the pastry in the usual way and then wrap and chill in fridge for 30 minutes
For the filling: Open the the tin of confit and remove meat. (This can be very messy
so have lots of newspaper on your worktop. Save the fat for roasting the potatoes.)
Discard the skin and then roughly chop the meat.
Slice the potatoes.
In a bowl beat the eggs, milk and cream together.
Heat oven to 200 degrees C (fan)
Lightly butter the pie dish (20-25 cm). Roll out pastry and line the dish.
Add the confit, shallots, garlic, parsley, and seasoning to the pie base, then layer the
potatoes over the top. Then pour egg mix over this.
Cook pie in middle of the oven for 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature after
30 minutes if the tart is browning too much on top.
Serve tart warm with a fresh water cress salad (that's the healthy bit!).
As they say in the USA 'from my kitchen to yours, happy cooking!'

PRIORY SUNDAY SCHOOL
Remaining dates for the Priory Sunday School are as follows:
July 9 & 23
August - no Sunday School
The Sunday School meets in the St Blaise Centre at 11.00 am. Children are asked to
arrive promptly so that the objective of the session can be explained to everyone at
once.
Children should be aged between 4 and 11 and they must already have started school
(ie if they are aged 4 but have not yet started school sadly they are not eligible).
There is no charge and parents do not need to accompany the children. They don’t
need to bring anything with them - just to come along.
‘Pop’ In and Join the Bubble Rush
in support of St Wilfrid’s Hospice this Summer!
St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Chichester is inviting you to
join in the Bubble Rush Fun Run and help raise
money in the frothiest fun of the summer. The
Bubble Rush will be held at Chichester High
School on Saturday 2nd September: participants
will face four different coloured ‘bubble stations’
along the course (approx. 4km) where they will be
sprayed with frothy foam, and run, walk, skip, dance
their through a wall of coloured bubbles! The event is
open to all ages and abilities, and there will be live entertainment and children’s
activities on the day. Every participant will receive a free T-shirt and finisher’s medal.
St Wilfrid’s relies on public support to help raise funds for its much needed end of life
care throughout the area. Entry costs are adults £25 and children £7.50 and it is
hoped that each participant will raise as much as they can through additional
sponsorship. St Wilfrid’s held the event for the first time last year, and as well as
loads of foam-tastic fun for everyone it raised around £26,000 for this good cause.
To take part in the Bubble Rush, register online at http://www.stwh.co.uk/bubblerush
and choose between the Blue Wave (12:30pm) or Pink Wave (13:30pm) start times,

R & R (Reading and Recuperation)
In the June Bugle, Sally explained how, after a knee operation, she found
herself forced to spend an immense of time off her feet. She shared
with us the titles of some of the novels which John and Ros Craven
kindly lent her to help while away the time.
If you’ve already managed to read all the titles included last month, here are some
more to enjoy during the long, hot days of summer ...!
--o0o--
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant. An almost unbearably sad story, written in a
deceptively simple and folk-tale-like style, about an ageing couple approaching their
final separation.
Noah Hawley, Before the Fall. A private plane crashes off Martha's Vineyard, with
a struggling artist on board as the result of a last-minute invitation; the artist, and the
young - now orphaned - son of the plane's owner, are the only survivors. The artist
is unwillingly thrust into the limelight as speculation grows about the cause of the
crash, and about the stories of each of the passengers.
Sejal Badani, Trail of Broken Wings. Three very different Indian-American sisters
gather with their mother, for the first time in years, around the bed of their father
who is in a coma. As the secrets of all their lives gradually emerge, it finally becomes
clear what really happened to him.
Ayse Kulin, Last Train to Istanbul. A gripping fictionalised account of the true
story of how a group of Turkish citizens, including many Jews, trapped in Paris when
the Nazis invade France, are helped to escape on a nightmarish train journey across
the continent.
C J Sansom, Dissolution; Dark Fire; Sovereign. My first taste of Sansom’s
historical murder mysteries, set (most authentically) in the time of Henry VIII. His
hero is a hunchbacked lawyer with a refreshing degree of self-doubt; his relationships
with his assistants, and his tentative and ultimately doomed attempts at romance, are
nicely painted, and the villains are magnificently villainous …
William Dalrymple, From the Holy Mountain. Not a novel this time, but an
account of Dalrymple’s journey from Turkey to Egypt, tracing the last remnants of
Eastern Christianity as he follows in the footsteps of two 6th-century monks. It is an
eye-opening picture of the situation nearly 20 years ago - one wonders how much, if
anything, of these Christian communities still survives today.
At the end of her list, Sally says:
Having devoured such a huge number of murder (and other) mystery stories, I
started to wonder what it is about these which so fascinates us. It seems a rather

grim subject for entertainment, but clearly - to judge not only from the booksellers’
shelves, but also from the TV listings - it is one that is highly popular. Partly, it's the
challenge of trying to spot the relevant clue or clues, and thus to correctly guess the
identity of the murderer. But perhaps there's more to it than that: Harriet Vane, in
one of Jill Paton Walsh's skilful recreations of the Dorothy Sayers characters, says
something to the effect that detective fiction serves to reassure us that order and
justice will eventually prevail in the world (even if the reality may often indicate
otherwise).
But now I have a problem - how to continue to satisfy my voracious appetite for
reading, now that I no longer have the excuse? Half an hour at bedtime is simply not
going to be enough …

The Boxgrove and Halnaker Traffic Calming Initiative
Traffic in Villages
Driving speeds today on rural roads and in villages rely mainly on driver consent.
There is currently very little chance of any official consequences for speeding in
villages. Drivers’ choice of speed is partly dependent on the characteristics of the
road on which they are driving, and the drivers’ perception of what is a safe
speed … this will often differ to that of other road users, such as pedestrians, pedal
cyclistsand horse riders. Therefore, it is important that the road design gives drivers
the right messages about the maximum safe speed.
Current thinking from experts is that consent is gained through making the driver feel
he is passing through a shared space within the village with pedestrians, cyclists etc.
There also must be a sense of community within the village that can be demonstrated
by a tidy, well cared for area. This is a quote from Hamilton Baille Associates, who
are globally recognised experts in traffic management and road safety: “driver
behaviour can be modified by small scale measures to enhance qualities of place that
do not require heavy highway engineering measures, for which communities can take
responsibility. The care and configuration of the surroundings to the highway, the
painting and upkeep of railings, benches, verges, hedges and trees can all play an
important role. Further, the boundaries of the speed limit also need to be aligned
with the boundaries of development. Extending 30 mph limits well out into the
countryside is in fact likely to result in higher speeds in the village core, as drivers will
see the limit, regard it as unreasonable, and continue to ignore it even when they
enter the built-up area”.
There are many soft community issues such as these, which the Boxgrove Traffic
Calming Group is trying to implement, and all help is welcome. You may have seen
people out in May tidying up the village. They were volunteers, not WSSC
employees, and they received positive reactions from many villagers for the work
they did.
Another village tidy up day is being planned for July - litter pick up, grass verges cut
back, hedges trimmed, weeds removed from the streets. Please come and join in.
The pictures below show how the concepts of shared space may be implemented and
this is how many villages are reclaiming their streets. The pub and houses below have
reduced the problem of speeding by blurring the spaces and reducing the perceived
absolute right of way for the driver.

These changes to road design are not expensive and often can have a dramatic effect
creating a much better village environment. The engineering design principles for
major roads are not always appropriate for villages.
Boxgrove Example
These ideas above do not exclude the need for hard controls such as speed recording
and cameras. For instance 32ton lorries have no place in Boxgrove, nor do cars
travelling at 50 mph past the shop or 70mph through Halnaker. The Royal Society for
Prevention of Accidents published a speeding fact sheet that states 45% of drivers
speed and 15% by a wide margin. This is supported by the data collected in Boxgrove
over the last 6 months.
There are three main ways to tackle the problem:
Driver consent and education
Road design
Enforcement
On the last point police have responded to many communities’ request for help to
stop hardcore speeders through a scheme called the Community Speed Watch. This
scheme enables members of the public to record and report speeding drivers.

Page 22
Boxgrove and Halnaker have 4 people trained and certified by the police for
Community Speed Watch. Our two villages also own a new hand held speed gun
through money donated by several Boxgrove and Halnaker residents. The location of
the speed check needs to be approved by the police and then official monitoring can
begin. The intent is to gain drivers co-operation in obeying the speed limit. Those
that choose not to will be reported to the police who will write to the driver
concerned with a warning. This remains on record so the police have further options
if speeding is repeated either in Boxgrove or Halnaker or elsewhere.
For the Festival of Speed Week Boxgrove will be putting out the signage and
gateway entrance statements to remind drivers they are passing through a village and
to respect the speed limit. Please support us by putting a sticker on your Wheelie Bin
or any visible place from the road. Email [email protected] for a free Bin
sticker if you want one!

DOUBLE BOOKED - CAN YOU HELP?
A friend of mine has two tickets for this year's Men's Finals at Wimbledon.
They are really good tickets and include a "table service" cream tea. He
didn't realise when he bought them that this is the same day as his wedding.
If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St John's Church,
Worcester, at 2.15pm on the 16th. Her name is Janet. She’ll be the one in
the white dress.

Experience The Gambia – in Boxgrove!!!
Fancy a fun evening of African food, music and celebration – all in aid of a good cause?
On Saturday 1 July, Boxgrove Village Hall will host the 10th anniversary fundraiser
of the Aldingbourne-based Gambia Upcountry Development Charity.
Run by Janet and David Underwood, the charity has helped people in the rural village
of Kanubeh build and run their own school.
With three classrooms and capacity for 145 children, the school opened in January
2010. Since then, more than 700 children have benefitted from an education they
would otherwise not receive.
The couple are now enabling villagers to grow cashew nuts to fund their school so
future generations of children will all go to school. A cashew crop will also fund
economic development, improving the lives of families.
Janet and David pay all their own costs - all money raised goes to the village.
The 10th anniversary celebrations will start at 7:30pm and the party will continue until
11pm. Guests will enjoy a true taste and insight into Gambian life, including:
Traditional three-course Gambian dinner, with wine,
cooked by a professional chef
Music and entertainment
Auction including African carvings, paintings,
luxury hampers and spa days
Raffle with delightful African artefacts and many luxury items to be won
Sale of Gambian carvings and jewellery
Tickets are just £20 per person. Singles, couples, families and groups are all welcome.
Places are limited – to book yours, call Janet and David on 01243 542702.

FIND A TREASURE, DONATE A TREASURE
Who knows what you’ll find when you visit one of St Wilfrid’s Hospice charity shops?
Maybe a beautiful vintage frock or tuxedo, the piece of furniture that finally fits into
that awkward space between the radiator and the sofa, or maybe that perfect gift for
a collector of vinyl or china?
From the furniture outlets in Bognor and Chichester, to the specialist Retro and
Vintage outlet in the centre of the City, to the numerous shops throughout the area
selling clothes, bric-a-brac, collectibles, toys and more, St Wilfrid’s shops have it all.
And next time you have a clear out, you may
wish to consider donating your unwanted good
quality items. You can take them to any shop,
and for larger items such as bikes or furniture,
collection from your home can be arranged.
Remember, what you no longer need might be
the treasure someone else is looking for!
And if you are inspired further, all our shops rely
on volunteers to keep them running. If you
would like to meet new friends and make a
contribution to the Hospice - which relies on
public support to raise the £7m a year for the
essential services it provides - you might be
interested in volunteering as many hours a week
as you can spare to help out.
For locations of all the shops and donation
centres, and to read all about our volunteering
opportunities go to www.stwh.co.uk for more
details.
