Of course I
recycle.
I believe
those of us of
a certain age
always did, we
just didn’t have a name for it.
We rinsed our milk and soft
drink bottles daily, placing them
on the step for collection and
re-filling.
Worn out old jumpers, other
textiles and all unwanted old
metal items were saved until
the street cry came of ‘Rag and
Bones’ from ‘totters’ who would
often give us a fair price for
our trouble, while Dad rushed
out with a shovel to recycle the
horse’s manure for the roses!
Very little carbon footprint
there too, I am guessing.
We carefully unwrapped
our gifts, smoothing out the
paper to re-use again, and
better quality empty boxes
were often covered ready to
fill with chocolates or sweets
as a bespoke present for the
next birthday occasion.
The sewing tin was often an
ancient biscuit tin, probably
collectable nowadays –watch
out for the ones without bar
codes.
We foraged around jumble
sales looking for the unusual,
quirky or just a nice book.
Now this activity tends to
be in charity shops, where
I chuckle to myself over
whether that handbag is
retro/vintage or just plain
naff!

Booming Marvels
by Wendy Greene
To be a baby boomer
Was to be a low consumer.
Nothing went to waste
You never binned in haste.
The pig bin in the kitchen
Was to put leftover food in,
But only then, it’s true,
If unfit for a stew.
No outer leaves were ever lost
They’d end up in my Dad’s
compost.
We’d get our eggs from hens
Kept in back garden pens.
We podded our own peas.
We had no means to freeze.
Mum’s job was home and
family
So we could live quite cheaply.
She’d knit and sew and bake,
Make marmalade and cake.
She’d lay the fire with coal
Delivered down a hole
By a coalman with a sack
Held high upon his back.
The ash became our path.
A tin tub was our bath.
We used a wooden stool
To play at shops and school.
No Xbox or PlayStation
We had imagination.
The growing popularity of
buying new and used goods
in our charity shops supports
good causes at the same time,
which I believe gives us a bit
of a ‘feel good factor’.
I hope you enjoy reading
our feature about the many
ways of being ‘green’ and
of course pass the magazine
on to someone else to read
before recycling it – and here’s
a thought – would a couple
who have collected retro china
wish to part or stay together
for the sake of the kitsch?

Any any any old stainless steelMeet Alan Williams our cover artist
Name that rhino
WIN a prizeAlan’s offering one of his
small metal creations to the
reader suggesting the best
name for his rhino. It’s made
from a skip and can be seen
at Worthing Museum. The
winning name will be the
one Alan feels best suits the
character of his rhino.
Write your answer on a
postcard and send it, together
with your contact details,
to Caring 4 Sussex Rhino
Competition, D4 Yeoman
Gate, Yeoman Way, Worthing
BN13 3QZ – or email to edit@
caring4sussex.co.uk putting
“rhino comp” in the subject
box – to arrive by Monday
11th March. Only one entry
per household – and don’t
forget to include a daytime
phone number.
Our cover Artist, Alan Williams,
is a man with a mission. He’s
searching for stainless steel
cutlery for his next big sculpture.
Alan, who is currently exhibiting
at Worthing Museum, just can’t
find enough of it.
He doesn’t only use cutlery for
his creations – bicycle parts, tools,
skips and all manner of unlikely
items are recycled into works of
art.
“I love the nature of the
material,” says Alan, “and I’m
inspired by the shape and texture
of the items I find.”
Alan studied 3D crafts at
Brighton University and still
lives in the city. His love
of animals and insects
began in childhood,
so it was a logical
step to use them as the subject
of his work.
“I’ve always been fascinated
by them,” he says, “and I try
to recreate the qualities and
personalities that people can
relate to.”
It’s every artist’s dream to
be commissioned by someone
famous, and given the choice,
Alan tells us he’d love to do a
piece for Tim Burton, the film
director who brought us such
gems as Edward Scissorhands.
And what would it be?
“Definitely The Kraken. It’s a
mythical giant sea monster –
I’d love to do that.”
In his leisure time, Alan enjoys
fantasy art, and work by local
artists working in and inspired
by Sussex. From time to time,
Alan has to take a break from
his beloved sculptures
to do industrial metal
work, which pays his
bills. Luckily the skills
from his art are
transferable, though
the jobs can be ‘a
bit boring’. It does
mean, though, that
once back in the studio
he is bursting with ideas
for more projects.
Next summer, Alan’s
work can be seen at
the Botanic Gardens in
Ventnor on the Isle of
Wight. Do look out for
them if you’re taking a
day trip or holiday on
the island during July
or August.
The gardens have a new look,
with inter-active activities for
visitors, so could be well worth
a visit.
You can see Alan’s sculptures at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery until 23rd February or visit his website www.alanwilliamsmetalartist.com

Re-use, reclaim or recycle? That is the question. What may be rubbish to you could be someone else’s treasure or raw material. For years rubbish was just something to throw in the bin, but in the past decade we have become aware that landfill is no longer an option and the earth’s supply of materials is finite – and we’re running out.
How can I help?Charity shops have been doing
a fantastic job of redistributing
clothing, ornaments, toys
and much more. Sadly they
also receive bagloads of utter
rubbish, usually left outside
overnight despite requests not
to do so. This cuts into their
profits as they may have to hire
a commercial bin to have it
removed. The questions to ask,
before donating, are ‘Would
I wear it? Would I give it as a
gift? Am I happy to be seen
donating it?’ No? Then don’t
give it.
You need a plan B. Rags,
mobile phones and spectacles
can be recycled at special
collection points. Boots has
a battery collection box, and non-perishable food is welcome at food banks run by charities for those in crisis or homeless. Garden refuse, glass, paper items and card can be recycled and metal can be scrapped.
What can I put in my recycle bin?This varies from one council to another – and they’re not just being awkward. Materials collected need to be sold on to cover cost and, where possible, make a profit for the benefit of the town. Plastic drinks bottles (without the lids) are generally accepted, but many people don’t realise that by putting all plastics in their bins – yoghourt pots, sandwich boxes, unwashed items etc – they are actually contaminating the entire load. It’s vital that you read the guidelines and stick to them for the system to work. If in doubt – ask your refuse collectors.
What is my council doing to improve recycling?All our Sussex Councils are working on our behalf to cut cost, landfill and emissions.
Paul Willis of Adur and
Worthing tells me he is delighted the number of recycling households has increased from 10% to 40% over twelve years. New developments to turn waste into fuel and soil conditioner will soon be available. This will include food waste, which attracts vermin in landfill, and even disposable nappies which currently can take decades to biodegrade.
Brighton now has an incinerator which processes rubbish to produce heat which can be used. But as Holly at the depot explains, “We must be aware of the cost and amount of energy we use in dealing with rubbish. Otherwise we could have a negative effect.”
Chichester is reducing landfill usage through the new Biffa facility which aims to use ‘black bag’ rubbish to produce an alternative to fossil fuels – Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). In turn this will reduce the financial penalties levied on waste sent to landfill while lowering carbon emissions. This method of sorting and treatment uses a
Greene on greenWendy Greene looks at how we’re getting more from our rubbish
combination of technologies already successful in Germany. Biodegradable waste and metal are separated from paper and plastic materials. The metal is recycled, paper and plastic is turned into RDF, and biodegradable waste is broken down by bacteria in enclosed containers through a process known as anaerobic digestion. As fans of The Archers already know, this produces two main products, Biogas – a methane-rich renewable form of natural gas, and Digestate – a compost like material.
They say ‘where there’s muck there’s brass’ and it’s good to know that, with a little care from all of us, what we consider to be rubbish can take on a whole new lease of life.

Need a cartridge for your printer? Don’t throw away your empties. Bring them to Smart Cartridge to be refilled& save £££’s. Free advice and support forour customers in a friendly environment.
What is the most cost
effective cartridgefor my printer?
Is this cartridge empty?My printer won’t print.
What’s wrong?I need a new printer.
What should I buy?
Ask us – we’re here to help!We also sell original and compatible cartridges and printers.
Whether you run a company,
work on a computer or simply
use one at home, you must be
aware of the ongoing cost of
ink. Many company emails now
bear a footer telling you not
to print the message if at all
avoidable. Then there’s the cost
to the environment, in plastic
used for the cartridges as well
as in disposal. If you simply
throw away your cartridges,
they will go into incinerators or
landfill sites.
Save money and resources with Smart Cartridge
One way to overcome the
problem is to use refilled or
re-manufactured cartridges for
your inkjet printer, laser printer
or fax machine, and that’s
where Smart Cartridge can help.
They specialise in refilling ink
cartridges and remanufacturing
laser cartridges. If you don’t
have a cartridge for refilling,
they can supply compatible
and original printer cartridges
for all major brands. They also
supply new inkjet printers and
reconditioned laser printers,
and the staff in the Worthing
store will be more than willing
to advise you on the best
type for your needs. They will
consider your individual printing
requirements and recommend
a printer to meet your budget,
whilst minimising the running
costs.
Smart Cartridge Worthing was originally founded in 2003, so they have plenty of experience in the domestic and business market.
“Cartridges,” they tell us, “can be refilled many times providing the same print quality and page yield as an original cartridge without costing you a fortune, and they have a 100% guarantee.”
Life Cycle Analysis studies show that remanufactured cartridges have a 45-60% lower CO
2 emission than new cartridges.To recycle and save money with refilled and re-manufactured cartridges, or for friendly advice pay a visit to Smart Cartridge at 15 Ardsheal Road, Broadwater, Worthing, call 01903 202292 or take a look at their websites www.worthinginkcartridges.co.uk and www.smart-cartridge.com.

A local environmentally educational event has proved so successful that organisers are preparing to do it all over again on February 9th.
In 2012, Transition Towns Worthing organised a Seed Swap at Oak Grove College in The Boulevard, Worthing. The event included advice on subjects as diverse as bread-making, composting, tool maintenance and much more. Experts were on hand to give advice on saving seeds and growing vegetables, and a tasty stew was made from
local ingredients.
The Art of Recycling
One person’s rubbish is
another person’s art material.
Throughout Sussex, we have
many talented craftsmen using
recycled materials to produce
fabulous items, as seen on our
front cover.
Strangely there are two metal
artists with similar names – our
cover artist, Alan Williams
from Brighton and Alan Tobias
Williams who crafted the metal
horse on the roundabout
by Worthing Pier. Worthing
stained glass teacher Some
artists use driftwood from the
beach, while quilters, like Linda
Says Lisa Leach, one of the
event organisers, “It was very
encouraging to see people
coming with their own saved
seed. And it was great to
hear success stories of things
grown from last year’s seeds.
An increase in local people
growing some of their own
food can only be a good
thing.”
If you’d like to get involved, or want more details, contact organisers Claire Hunt or Barbara Shaw for more details, [email protected].
Smoothing out the probate process
Seeds of success
Hoddy of Sussex-based Textile
Arts Forum, revive the art of
making something beautiful
out of off-cuts and old clothes.
Chris Brown has invented a
novel use for glass dishes,
bottles and bowls.
Philip Lansberry, Director of Spofforths Private Client Services, can help to smooth the path following
bereavement. He understands the issues many families face when dealing with probate procedures.
Although a Will confirms who’s entitled to the assets in an estate there are still other important
matters to consider. Debts and funeral expenses have to be paid, so cash is needed, but the Bank will
freeze the account. Inheritance tax also needs to be paid if the estate is worth over £325,000, but
should all the tax be paid up front or by instalments? And the extra tax reliefs which can be claimed
to reduce the inheritance tax bill must not be overlooked.
Personal possessions should be sorted, valued and then distributed. Any property will have to be readied for sale unless someone
wishes to keep it? Running costs such as insurance and energy bills must also be settled until it is sold or rent paid until the keys can be
returned to the landlord.
Shares and investments must be valued for probate, inheritance tax and capital gains tax. Executors should remember they are liable
to income tax on any income received by the estate and so are the beneficiaries once that income is distributed to them. Executors
can also find themselves liable for capital gains tax if they sell assets at a profit. HMRC require completion of a number of tax forms
including a return for the period to the death.
Creditors have to be advertised for and beneficiaries checked up on to ensure they are not bankrupt. When the estate is nearing
completion accurate financial accounts must be prepared and approved by everyone involved. Unsold assets will need to be transferred
to beneficiaries, property through the Land Registry, shares by company registrars and so on. There may be a trust to be set up over the
family home or for infant children once all the bills have been paid or monies to be invested by trustees.
And just think how much more there will be to do if there is no Will!
Please contact Philip on 01403 253282 for advice on managing probate.

luxury residentialcare home
There is many a secret that
a resident has brought into
our home over the years. An
outstanding career, a hobby or
just a passion that has brought
fame, if not fortune. Often
their past has been forgotten or
considered no longer important.
There have been residents
who were accomplished
Daring to be differentThere are some surprising people at The Shelley
musicians – a violinist with
the London Philharmonic
Orchestra, an organist at St
Paul’s Cathedral – a ballet
dancer who pirouetted in
front of the Queen at the
Royal Variety Performance, a
nurse who worked alongside
celebrated surgeon Sir John
Peel at Kings College Hospital,
a couture gown maker to
the Royal Family and many a
celebrity. Occupations held by
other residents have included
code breaker at Bletchley
Park, engineer for a Formula
One racing team and head of
recruitment at the European
Atomic Agency, while one
published a fictional book and
another spent 45 years in the
Diplomatic Service. Some have
OBEs and MBEs.
But it’s not all about what
they’ve done, it’s all about what
they want to do now.
Today their lives are a little
more relaxing – watercolour
painting, poetry, model making,
even the occasional cruise is
more the norm.
At The Shelley we believe we
go one step further, changing
the way you’ll look at care.
Warm and cosy, providing
a positive and stimulating
environment, we believe that
our activities both enhance
and stimulate, while creating
a sense of enjoyment and
independence. There’s plenty
on offer to keep our residents
occupied, and nurture the
hidden talents, wishes or desires
in our midst. Our approach
to activities comes back to
relationship-centred care and
listening to each resident’s life
story, as individual tastes and
interests vary greatly.
2013 will include some
very original, exciting and
personalised activities. We
realise that everyone has their
own talent, their own wishes.
We are all different.
At the Shelley we are just
more different than the rest.

Your home could be sold to fund care home fees
“We have worked hard all our lives to leave something for our children and grandchildren. Why should the Local Authority get it all?”
If you have to go into care and
you have assets that total more
than £23,250 (including the
value of your home), you will
have to fund your care in full. A
care home could cost £500-£800
a week or more. The reality is
that your children could end
up with very little. Although
care might seem only a distant
possibility right now, there are
important steps you should take
now to protect your home.
Married Couples If you and your husband/wife
currently have ‘Mirror Wills’
or ‘Joint Wills’ you risk leaving
your share of your home
to your husband/wife for it
simply to be swallowed up in
care home fees. A legal trust
arrangement within your Will
could save your family tens
of thousands of pounds and
ensure your hard earned wealth
passes to those you choose.
Widowed/Single The options available to you to
protect your home are fewer
and it is vital you act now.

house over to my children”

When you reach an age or condition where you need care in your home, or if you are seeking care for a relative, it is easy to assume it will be expensive and outside of your control. Now there’s an alternative that not only puts you in control, but enables you to choose the qualified carer that suits you best at a fraction of the cost. Care-Link works in a similar way to a dating agency – it is not a care agency. Initially you register free with Care-Link,
A new way of caringCare-Link has a revolutionary on-line approach to personal care in your own home
either as a ‘Care Provider’ or a ‘Care Seeker’, to see how many personal home care providers, or people looking for home care services, are in your local area.
The search can be done by postcode within a distance of up to 25 miles. Carers and those looking for personal home care can both register on the Care-Link website. If you wish to proceed, you can become a premium member and interview the people you feel would suit you. Details of membership and
monthly fees are at www.care-link.co.uk As Care-Link is not an agency, no commission is payable. Care personnel are self-employed and it can be useful for both parties to build up their own team, ensuring ongoing care.
By continuing membership you can re-access the site should you wish to make a change or add another person to your personal profile. You can be assured that all personal information is secure.
This new online service is the brainchild of Hazel Wilkinson and Mike Coleman – both highly experienced in business and each having discovered the challenge that can face those looking for the right type of care at the right price.
Says Hazel, “We all have our own unique personalities. Some require carers with an outgoing personality and others prefer the
‘seen and not heard’ approach. It is vitally important that the person receiving care is able to build a good relationship with the care provider and feel comfortable having people in the home they treasure and have often lived in for an extensive period of time.”
Hazel and Mike have developed a service to assist care providers – who can earn £10-£12 an hour – and those needing care who can save up to 45% of normal care costs. All payments can be made online, which is helpful when another member of the family is dealing with finances.
If you are a care worker looking for private clients or you require the services of a personal carer, you can find full details as well as terms and conditions at www.care-link.co.uk or you can call 01243 381322. Care-Link is a member of DSA.
