Life in the European Parliament with MEP Peter Skinner: A lost generation?
Our young people are our future. I don’t say that as a vague platitude or as the father of young children but in a very practical sense. They are tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, construction workers, teachers, retail workers and so on.
Eastbourne Life with Graham Walker: A great town for cycling?
“Shall we bring our bikes?” asked my friend as we arranged for his family to come down for a visit. “Yes, there’s some great cycling nearby” I said before adding “But the town itself is a very bike unfriendly place ”.
Something to Say with Keith Newbery: War rages on over council prayers

UFOs and the Paranormal with Malcolm Robinson: UFOs... some personal experiences
In previous articles we have looked at cases pertaining to ghosts and poltergeists. In this article we take a look at but some of my own UFO experiences. These experiences helped to fuel the fire of my interest in such matters which I still carry today.
Out in the Field with Herald Chief Reporter Annemarie Field: Why are we waiting for the new Pevensey cancer unit?
THE LIST of things that annoy me and others continues to grow even longer. One OAP, vintage 1936, wrote to me recently with their litany of pet hates, most of which I agree with.
Herald Opinion: Eastbourne deserves better
THE news that health watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has once again come down hard on the management of the DGH is as unsurprising as it is unwelcome.
Something to Say with Keith Newbery: ‘Cold as the Himalayas!’
SIAN LLOYD wafted her left hand seductively over the weather map and a swathe of middle Britain, from Anglesey to The Wash, was winsomely caressed.
Pause for Thought with Ray Dadswell: Meeting the Queen
A church friend has kindly written his story for the column on the occasion of the anniversary of the Queen’s accession in 1952.

AS THE price of petrol continues to soar it’s hardly surprising that more people are, literally, getting on their bike to save a few pennies.

Eastbourne Life with Graham Walker: Little or snow chance of crime
“Snow!” shouted my oldest son a few minutes after he woke up on Sunday morning. Within fifteen minutes, and before I can drink my first cup of coffee, the two boys are dressed and ready to go sledging. They charge out the door towards the Downs with their two sleighs. One sleigh is wooden and traditional, a relic of my wife’s childhood and the other a standard issue shiny red plastic model. The boys would fight over the wooden sleigh except that the plastic one is much lighter and my youngest son usually settles for it without complaint.
2 commentsSomething to Say with Keith Newbery: Not a veto... at best, an opt-out
Six weeks ago this column, in its humble and unassuming way, suggested David Cameron’s claim to have exercised a veto over the latest European treaty was not only delusional but a complete fallacy.
Pause for Thought with Ray Dadswell: Remember the elderly
“We are not asking for donations, says Bryan Bladon, recently-appointed chairman of Parche, Pastoral Action in Residential Care Homes for the Elderly.
Out in the Field with Herald Chief Reporter Annemarie Field: We can only hope drivers actually read the new signs
ISN’T it ironic that last Friday morning on my way into work and having written about the new signs on the Kings Drive roundabout telling people which lane to get into, a rather irate taxi driver stopped his car in the middle of the road, got out and severely berated the driver behind him for being in the wrong lane and “carving” him up?
Herald Opinion: What a day July 17 should be
Who wouldn’t want the excitement of the Olympic torch being paraded down their road? There can’t be a community in the land that wouldn’t celebrate being part of history in the making.
Something to Say with Keith Newbery: Drugs... we’re fighting a losing battle
IF ALCOHOL and nicotine were to be discovered now, they would immediately be classified as dangerous drugs and, in all probability, banned.
Eastbourne Life with Graham Walker: Family pride
“There’s no point. We are going to lose” was my youngest son’s reaction to a game of football that pitched the Walker boys against the local hotshot and his friend. For the next half an hour I charged around the (huge) pitch with my two boys idling about as goalie and ‘goal hanger’. My boys were over the moon that we just edged the game. Though I’m not sure a grown man of almost fifty should take too much satisfaction from the result when our opponents were eight and ten years old!

An Eastbournian Abroad with Ashley McMillan: Oh, Australia Day we’ve missed you!
So this might not come as much of a shock to you all, but it’s snowing in Whistler... a lot! There’s now nearly a 250cm base and there’s been just short of another 100cm fall within the last week.
Out in the Field with chief reporter Annemarie Field: Pointing way forward at King’s Drive roundabout
AS MUCH as I would like to think somebody at the county council reads my rants and ramblings each week and takes notes, I doubt if that is why somebody has finally got their brush and paint out and daubed some lovely new bright white arrows at the Kings Drive roundabout.
Herald Opinion: A story of optimism amongst the tragedy
There’s been fair amount of tragic stories to be reported on in Eastbourne and district this week - that’s the way news sometimes breaks and you can’t ignore it.
EastbourneLife with Graham Walker: Happy Wednesday!
While you read this column, hopefully with a cup a tea that someone else has made you, I would like to wish you a Happy Wednesday. For those of us lucky enough not to work on the weekend, it’s hump day. After slogging uphill through the beginning of the week, Wednesday marks midweek and the start of the gentle downhill jog towards the weekend.
