Wickford Paper

I think the chap who ran the mobile fish and chip shop in Alderney Gardens before it caught fire was an uncle of yours. His name was Craven, I think.
By bobcroot (17/02/2016)
My Grandparents lived in Swan Lane, Mr and Mrs Rosa Craven.
l also had two uncles that lived in Wickford, l cannot remember their names.
l would love to hear if any of the family are still there.

The barbers would have been Ansteads. I was at school with Roy Anstead. I recall Culleys Gift Shop, I bought a set of ebony elephants there, the prices ranged from 2/11 for smallest to 7/6 for the largest.
What was the name of the radio and TV shop next to Culleys? Was it Collins? May have had a hanging clock ouside.

My late father lived in a bungalow called ‘Kendene’ on the London Road. I think it was a market gardener’s, his name was John Howard Brooks, and he died in May 1994 aged 72. His mum had remarried to a Jim Prichard, they emigrated to Australia in 1952, the year I was born!
By Mrs joan draper (13/03/2014)
Hi Kathy. I was reading your article and found it very interesting as my Dad lived in Swan Lane as a boy until he died 5 years ago. I remember him telling us about the Pratts that got killed during the war. My mum still lives in Swan Lane and during the 50s she worked in a baby shop in the High Street called Giles; my parents surname is Fleming. I also had a friend called Heather Racher, any relation?

Can anybody tell me what was the address out side which the photos were taken at the 1945 party. I live at no. 19.
By Dave Brand (04/07/2013)
Hi Kathy, read your wonderful article on your memories of Wickford. You state in your closing paragraph, your memory of both Guernsey Gardens and Jersey Gardens being unmade roads, as a young boy growing up I can remember the company ‘Road and Public Works’ digging out the foundations for the new roads and watched their machines with schoolboy joy as they used both an RB22 and I think from memory an RB19 excavators with the bucket that travelled up the jib as opposed to today’s excavators which are fixed to a separate hydraulic arm. However having lived in Jersey Gardens since I was brought home from Billericay Hospital after birth, I have to disagree with your comment that the road was boring. I believe you said you moved away at the age of two, well I spent my entire life up until I married my wife at the age of twenty four in Jersey Gardens. My Grandfather and Grandmother had their bungalow built in Guernsey Gardens just prior to the outbreak of war, my Mother, now eighty one, still lives in Jersey Gardens and would not move anywhere else. My experience of neighbours both in Jersey and Guernsey was more of friends than neighbours and as my Mother in her twilight years would say, “the kindness shown me by my many neighbours you couldn’t get anywhere”. After my Grandfather’s death in 1975 my Grandmother shared that same sort of neighbourly friendship and care. I can also remember the two huge oak trees that stood on the opposite side of the road from Jersey Villas. These were pulled down by ‘Bonker Wood’ the tree feller from Hambro Hill, Rayleigh, and I stood and watched him bring them both down, in three stages using chain saws and his lorry and hauser cable. A sight you rarely see in today’s world.

My wife Maureen was the girl repairing stockings in Bell Cleaners 55.
By bob croot (16/01/2012)
Because Kathy and I can completely agree about what she has said about the High Street I have noticed that we have both omitted to mention at least one shop and that would be Batas the shoe shop.Their factory is/was in Tilbury? This was in the parade of shops next to or near the North Thames Gas Board show room. Kathy also names Sketchly the cleaners whereas I named the Bell Cleaners which was somewhat earlier but I think at the same location. I can recall that they had a young girl, sat in their window repairing nylon stockings. That would have been in 1955. Were they that expensive that a repair was worth it? I also have the same photos taken in Louvaine Avenue for our Victory Party. My mother is there as are my aunt and uncle, Bill and Edie Ffitch, Mrs Sutton and Sid. Corrine Tilbury, Doreen Deer, Lawrence Lay, Mr and Mrs Holloway and their daughters and all the children who lived in the avenue.
By Geoff Fairey (27/09/2011)
How wonderful, this site is getting more like “Friends Reunited” everyday. Because I was born in Louvaine Avenue, in 1939, and lived there until 1949, I knew straight off who the author of this article is. We shared many happy times together with the other children born or at least living in Louvaine during those years, Corrinne, Sylvia, Sid, Hilary, Henry and a whole list of others. Can you imagine we all almost learned to swim in the Crouch at the bottom of the Avenue, in about 6 inches of water! Our parents were none too pleased.. Many thanks Kathleen “H”

Windows ARM Software News
Asphalt 9: Legends will natively support ARM64 on Windows
2018-Dec-07 | Tags: 64bit, apps, compatibility
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8cx compute platform at the Snapdragon Technology Summit earlier today, boasting the biggest performance leap ever in the platform's history. While detailing the improvements in its Adreno 680 GPU, the company revealed that Gameloft's Asphalt 9: Legends would be coming to the ARM64 platform on Windows.
Asphalt 9 is a popular racing game on mobile devices, and the follow-up to Asphalt 8: Airborne, which we featured as one of our favorite Windows Phone games a few years ago. The title features over 50 cars based on real-life models, more than 70 tracks, and there are more than 800 events in the single-player mode on top of multiplayer capabilities. If its predecessor is anything to go by, the number of cars and tracks available is only bound to increase over time.

Mock Con... Child Refugees... Proposed Tax Break
By Bob Leweke • Feb 14, 2016
TweetShareGoogle+Email
On this week's Second Look, WMRA's Jordy Yager and Jessie Knadler continue our Refugees in Virginia series, with a focus on children.... Jessie also got a preview of this year's Mock Convention (Mock Con) at W&L (to see who they chose as this year's Republican nominee, click here).... and, Virginia Public Radio reports on a Republican proposal in the General Assembly to give a tax break to parents whose kids don't go to public school.
Who Will Win the GOP? W&L's Mock Convention Weighs In
By Jessie Knadler • Feb 9, 2016
Jessie Knadler
Every four years, students at Washington and Lee University in Lexington stage a Mock Convention – or “Mock Con” as it’s known – to predict who the party currently out of power in the White House will nominate to run for president of the United States. With Donald Trump expected to win today in New Hampshire, students are inching closer to a final prediction, to be announced at the Mock Convention this weekend. WMRA’s Jessie Knadler sat down with the leaders of Mock Con, as it’s called, to talk about this 108-year-old tradition, how students go about arriving at a prediction, and what it says about the GOP.

Harrisonburg High Mentoring Program Guides Refugee Kids
By Jessie Knadler • Feb 10, 2016
Remember high school? Even if those were great years for you, there were certainly times when you felt a little lost, or left out. Imagine going to high school in another country, with another language, and another culture. Oh, and you may also be carrying trauma from some horrific things you witnessed in your home country. WMRA’s Jessie Knadler has the story of a Harrisonburg High School program that pairs refugee students with others who have been there.

GLOBAL JIHAD
'Muhammad cartoon' proved fake
Imam added 3 especially provocative images to fuel outrage
Published: 02/08/2006 at 1:00 AM
Faxed photo, top, and original AP image
One of three especially inflammatory but undocumented Muhammad images distributed by a Danish imam as an example of an “anti-Muslim environment” in the European country turns out to be a poorly reproduced copy of an Associated Press photo taken at a French pig-squealing contest.
The weblog NeanderNews pointed out the image used by Imam Ahmad Abu Laban was a faxed copy of AP’s Aug. 15 photo of Jacques Barrot competing at the annual French Pig-Squealing Championships in Trie-sur-Baise.
Since last week, Muslims throughout the world have engaged in protests and deadly riots in response to 12 cartoons caricaturing Islam’s prophet Muhammad published in September by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and three much more provocative images that Muslim leaders have been unable to document.
One of those images of mysterious origin, which never were published, is from the AP photo. Another depicts Muhammad as a pedophile demon and a third has a praying Muslim being raped by a dog, according to the weblog Gateway Pundit.
Three undocumented images Danish imams used as examples of anti-Muslim hostility (courtesy Gateway Pundit)
Abu Laban, leader of the Islamic Society of Denmark, took the images on a tour of the Middle East in December to rally support for his protest against the newspaper and Danish government. Tour spokesman Akhmad Akkari explained the three drawings had been added to “give an insight in how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims.”
Akkari claimed he didn’t know the origin of the three images, saying they had been sent anonymously to Danish Muslims. But he rejected a request by the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet to speak with the people who supposedly received them.
In a television interview, Abu Laban told Fox News the cartoons came from threatening letters, but he has not replied to the network’s request to provide copies of the letters.
A profile of Abu Laban Friday night on Danish television documented his close ties to the Egyptian terrorist group Gamaa Islamiya.
Another program the same evening showed him speaking in English on Danish television in condemnation of the boycott of Danish goods, then, in an interview with the Middle East news channel al-Jazeera, happily remarking in Arabic about how well the boycott was going.
Walid Phares, senior fellow with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington, asked in an article published on Counterterrorism blog, “Why did it take five months for what Western media dubbed ‘instant reactions to the insult’ to materialize?”
Leaders of the Muslim community in Denmark said they attempted to resolve the matter locally by asking the newspaper or government to apologize.
But some analysts, Phares said, “see more of a greater agenda: taking advantage of the harm made by the pictures to impose a new political order in that Scandinavian country, and beyond.”
Abu Laban seemed to affirm that in the interview with Fox News, which was noted by Gateway Pundit.
The Muslim cleric told reporter Jonathan Hunt of his demand that Danish leaders “within their abilities and competence and within the concept of dynamism of liberalism to create … a new set of rules. … ”
Hunt: So, you want a new set of rules for the way Western Europe lives?
Abu Laban: Yes.

6 Common Misconceptions People Have About Postpartum Depression
It's not just new moms that are affected.
By Kristen Dold
s_bukley/Shutterstock
Now added to our list of courageous, badass woman: Hayden Panettiere, who publicly confirmed that she’s checked into a treatment center to deal with her postpartum depression (PPD). The 26-year-old Nashville actress, whose character on the show coincidentally suffers from PPD, had said in a TV interview last month, “There's a lot of people out there that think that it's not real, that it's not true, that it's something that's made up in their minds, that 'Oh, it's hormones.' They brush it off. It's something that's completely uncontrollable. It's really painful and it's really scary and women need a lot of support.” She’s totally right, which is why we’re sorting some of the fact from fiction below.
Myth: It’s Normal to Be Depressed After Having a Baby
Truth: Up to 80 percent of new moms get the "baby blues," which involve a moderate amount of teariness and stress (because hello, crying baby!), the first few weeks after childbirth. But when those feelings endure or intensify so much that they affect your ability to function, odds are you’re dealing with PPD and should seek out some help.
RELATED: Can Men Suffer from Postpartum Depression, Too?
Myth: Only Birth Mothers Are Affected
Truth: Actually, any parent can struggle from depression associated with having a new baby. A study published in JAMA found that around 10 percent of new dads suffer prenatal or postpartum depression (peaking at around three to six months after birth), and adoptive parents (gay or straight) are at risk, too.
Myth: Symptoms Appear in the First Three Months After Birth
Truth: Studies show that women with severe postpartum depression sometimes experience symptoms while they’re still pregnant. Meanwhile, other women won’t develop PPD until almost a year after childbirth.
Myth: Women with PPD Cry All the Time
Truth: Tears are certainly a symptom, but the depression can manifest in other, less obvious ways—some women lose their appetite, have trouble sleeping, struggle with anxiety or panic attacks, have difficulty concentrating, harbor obsessive thoughts and/or feel inadequate. Another reminder that smiley photos on Facebook don’t always mean everything’s okay on the inside.
RELATED: 7 Dangerous Misconceptions About Depression
Myth: It’s a Sign of Weakness
Truth: Hardly. Aside from the fact that giving birth is basically a superpower, PPD has nothing to do with how hard someone’s trying at the whole mothering thing. What is to blame: a massive drop in hormones including estrogen and progesterone, sleep deprivation, and the truckload of emotional challenges that arise when you have a baby.
Myth: Every Pregnancy Will Result in PPD
Truth: Scared to get pregnant again because of an earlier struggle with PPD? According to the American Psychological Association, less than half (an estimated 41 percent) of women who have already experienced PPD will deal with it again.

He called the police on two groups of black women at a Maryland pool, and one woman filed disorderly conduct charges against him. He also filed charges.
Author: Michael Quander
Published: 11:50 AM EDT June 28, 2019
Updated: 1:25 PM EDT June 28, 2019
WASHINGTON — A man who called police on two groups of black women at a Maryland swimming pool is facing disorderly conduct charges.
Nick Starr-Street, who lives with autism, was recorded calling police on the women on July 22 and July 23 for have glass bottles at the pool at the the Edition Apartments in Hyattsville.
The women believed they were racially profiled, but Starr-Street told WUSA9 that race didn't play a factor during the encounters.
Starr-Street said his autism diagnosis was the reason his reaction was escalated to dialing 9-1-1.
"I'm autistic," Star-Street said. "I just see right and wrong. I don't see race. I don't see gender. I don’t see color. I don't see any of that."
According to Ambitious About Autism, autism is often associated with "rigid thinking."
"People with autism tend to be more all-or-nothing than most people: something is either absolutely not interesting or absolutely fascinating," the website said.
The website also explained that some people with autism "do tend to think in fewer shades of grey."
RELATED: 'I'm not a racist' | Man blames autism for calling police on black women at swimming pool
While officers with the Hyattsville Police Department chose not to arrest anyone over the weekend, Starr-Street and one of the women involved both independently filed charges against each other.
On Sunday, Gaëlle Claude posted a video on Twitter that showed Starr-Street following her and a friend while on the phone with 9-1-1.
Her caption read, "This white man literally stalked us from his apartment for da** near a mile just cause we were at the pool drinking wine and taking pictures. Called the police and all ... I cannot make this up."
As he approached the women, the women say in the video, "This is too much. Please get that camera out of my face."
Starr-Street said one of the women assaulted him by knocking the phone out of his hand and bruised his chest.
He said that he was only following the women because they were trying to leave before police could arrive.

Claude filed disorderly conduct charges against Starr-Street, which are expected to be heard in court August 15.
A peace order was also filed against Starr-Street, which demands he stay away from The Edition Apartments, where he is a resident.
WUSA9 learned Starr-Street and his husband will no longer live at the property where the encounters took place by next month.
A spokesperson with The Edition Apartments issued the following statement:
"Since the disturbing events that occurred over the weekend at The Edition's pool, our staff and attorneys have worked tirelessly to find a solution that will protect our residents from harassment and is in compliance with Maryland law.
After an exhaustive look at the various options, we can now officially announce that the residents in question will no longer be members of The Edition’s community as of Monday, July 1, 2019. The Edition was not complicit in these events, and it was imperative to us that immediate action was taken to maintain the safety and well-being of our residents and guests, which continues to be our main priority."
wusa9
Starr-Street declined to comment on the apartment complex’s decision under advisement from his attorney.
He filed second degree assault charges against Claude after he said she bruised his chest while knocking the phone out of his hand Sunday.
Starr-Street said he received harassment, vandalism to his apartment door, and received death threats after videos of the encounters went viral.

POST CODE: OX4 4XP
Using the car? These are the recommended road directions
From Wycombe take the westbound M40, exiting at junction 8 taking the A40 towards Oxford. The stadium is well signposted, with brown football signs pointing the way. At the Headington roundabout (with McDonalds on the left) bear left onto the Oxford Ring Road (A4142). Continue over the Cowley flyover and go straight on at the Littlemore roundabout. At the next roundabout (with Sainsburys on the left), take the left turning (signed Reading / Oxford Science Park) onto the A4074. Keep following the brown football signs and you eventually come to the ground on your left.
Mileage from High Wycombe = 29 (approx. journey time 40 minutes)
Recommended area for car parking
There are plenty of FREE car parking spaces around the stadium and at the adjacent Ozone cinema and bowling alley complex. They do tend to fill up quickly so arrive in plenty of time. As expected, it can take a time to exit after the match. Free parking is also available along Grenoble Road adjacent to the stadium. Supporters are reminded not to park illegally on double yellow lines, adjacent grass verges, or in residential areas covered by residents permit schemes.
Travelling by coach?
OWWSA will be running a coach that will leave Adams Park at 13.00. Travel prices are £11 for adults, £10 for seniors, and £9 for juniors. The price for on-members is £16 (no refund if game is cancelled and the coaches have left their depot). Non-members are required to pay at the time of booking their seat. If you wish to book by phone (Rena 01494 520179, Graham 07876 267301) or by e-mail (bookings@owwsa.co.uk) you need to do so by Thursday 28th March at 5pm. If booking by email please make sure you receive an acknowledgment.
Using the train?
This is certainly not recommended as Oxford railway station is over four miles away. If you do end up at the station (or in the City Centre) you can catch Oxford Bus Company Service, Number 5 (or Stagecoach service Number 1) that run to Knights Road in Blackbird Leys Road. This is just a short walk from the ground. The service runs every five minutes. The journey from the station to the stadium usually takes around 30 minutes.
Facilities for away fans
The ground capacity is 12,500 (All seated). Away fans are normally housed on one side of the North Stand, towards the open end of the ground. This stand is shared with home supporters. The facilities within the stadium and the views of the playing action are excellent, and there is also good leg room. The atmosphere within the ground is not bad, with the home fans in the Oxford Mail Stand doing their best to raise it.
Spare time on your hands?
The adjacent ‘Priory' pub closed a few years ago and there is a very limited choice of bars near to the stadium. One possibility is ‘The George’ at Littlemore just off the ring road (not far from Sainsburys). The stadium is about a 10-minute walk away. Meanwhile there is a cinema and bowling alley complex located adjacent to the stadium, called Ozone. Inside the bowling alley there is a bar, which also has SKY TV and a fast food outlet. Traditional pubs in walking distance (20-25 minutes) of the Kassam Stadium are the Catherine Wheel and the Kings Arms in Sandford-on-Thames. Otherwise alcohol is also served within the ground.

UWE student stories
Dr Will Shield - MA in Education
Enrolling on a MA in Education was the ideal next step for Will to combine his interest in psychology with a focus on education.
“I loved the teaching and whole student experience during my psychology degree at UWE Bristol. So when I wanted to become an educational psychologist, I decided to stay on there to do a MA in Education.
"I found work as a behaviour assistant in a secondary school and studied the course alongside that, part time over two years completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, which made it really flexible.
"The teaching on the course was very well thought out, and highly relevant both to my job and the career I was working towards.
"I liked, in particular, that it was profession-focused, so I could take a lot of the new ideas and research I was learning about back into my work managing behaviour in schools.
"Above all, it bridged the gap for me between my psychology degree and establishing myself as an education specialist. And it was the grounding I needed to go onto my Doctorate in Educational, Child and Community Psychology – and then into my chosen field.
"I’m now a Specialist Senior Educational Psychologist, working in schools across Somerset and North Somerset. My job is to use psychology to help understand the challenges that some children face with learning. I am particularly interested in social, emotional and mental health needs, which links well with some of the assignments I wrote when studying at UWE Bristol.
"The thinking and research skills I developed on my course regularly come into my practice, as I help schools and families to problem solve and try out new ideas and strategies.
"I look back on my experience at UWE Bristol as integral to me getting where I am today.”
