Winter2013 St Saviour Parish Magazine p3

It was with sadness that we learned of the recent passingof the former Lieutenant Governor General Sir MichaelWilkes who resided in the Parish at Government Houseduring his tenure of office. With fond memories, ourcondolences are extended to his family.

A Parish Assembly was held on Tuesday, 29 October to elect a Procureur, theterm of office of Bryan le Lievre having come to its three-year conclusion. Heindicated that he was willing to stand for a further term of office and was dulyproposed by Advocate Peter Mourant and seconded by Tony Runacres. Therebeing no further nominations for the post, after the due time had elapsed theConnétable warned the candidate to appear in the Royal Court on Friday, 22November to take the oath of office.

His service to the Parish of St Saviour spans 35 years, this being his sixthterm as Procureur and prior to this he has held the Offices of ConstablesOfficer, Centenier for six years, Roads Inspector and Roads Committeemember.

Out and Aboutin the Parish

2013 has been a busy year. My plans to have a site for petanque are lookinggood and I hope to be announcing a location soon. The Battle of Flowers wasa great tribute to the Parish and our Juniors especially did us proud. Theretirement homes, all 32 of them, are coming on leaps and bounds.

St Saviour is a busy parish! There is much for parishioners to get involvedwith. Join in and enjoy being involved with the Battle of Flowers, the Parish inBloom, La Cloche itself or the Twinning Association. We really do need morehonorary officers so do consider giving your time to the Parish and ensuringthat the Parish system continues.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I wish youeverything you would wish for yourself in 2014.

With love to you and yours from me and mine

Christmas message from the Connétable

Following the Family Service at the Parish Church led by the Rector,parishioners and organised groups gathered at the war memorial for the act ofremembrance to all those fallen and suffering as a result of conflict. Thequietness and solitude of the moment enabled the firing of the gun at the towncenotaph to mark the end of two minutes silence to be clearly audible. Thosepresent then retired into the Parish Hall where light refreshments were served.

Remembrance Sunday

Angela and I wish you all a truly joyful Christmas. We allexperience Christmas at a number of levels: thepersonal, the social, the national and so on. Ourmemories of past Christmases are a great mixture of allof these things and are part of who we are. At thesame time, each Christmas is a new opportunity todevelop our acquaintance with the God who entershuman life in the most backdoor way, subvertingseemingly overwhelming power structures (Herod's rule)and bringing hope to the poor and the outcast. Aboveall, it is a time to marvel at the way the birth of a babyat Bethlehem is a new beginning for the human race.Two thousand years may seem a long time ago - it'sabout 2018 years now, by the latest calendricalcalculations - but in the history of homo sapiens it isonly yesterday.

Big decision time regarding the Parish float Help needed to fulfil thebuilding of floats for nextyear’s Battle

As many readers who attended the evening parade will beaware there was a problem with the engine on the mainfloat at this year’s Battle which started as a result of apuncture sustained en-route to the arena. Basically due tothe uneven axle load as a result of the puncture, thesediment in the tank was distributed and entered the fuelline which resulted in engine failure.

Whilst on Battle day itself things were satisfactory, afterstanding in the field at Bel Royal overnight the engine didnot wish to respond and the float started the eveningparade being tractor-hauled. With a lack of hydraulicpressure the steering was not responsive and the float hadto leave the arena as the first opportunity to do so. Onreturn to the shed it was realised that the whole chassiswas in need of an overhaul so the decision was taken tonot enter it into the Christmas Parade this year.

The prize winning Junior float will be there as usual onSunday, 8 December.

Helping out at the Battle Shed (theParish compound in Rue des PresTrading Estate) is a very fulfillingcommunity based project and thenumber of helpers required in all aspectsis unlimited. You will be surprised at thevariety of skills required and the fact thatyou are more than capable ofparticipating. Please contact theAssociation through the Parish Hall orjust turn up on a Saturday morning tobecome involved. Becoming part of theteam at an early stage makes theorganisation so much easier in the laterstages when construction is in full flow.

About the author: Marianne was born seven years after the Occupation but living on the family farm she heard manystories about the period and while at teacher training college she decided to write her dissertation on the life andeducation of children during the occupation. She gained access to documentation and was also able to converse withmany people who had shared the experience of those days. Six years ago on returning to Jersey to care for her mothershe realised that very soon another generation would be lost and that whilst there were accounts of adult reminiscencesthere was little in the way of records of stories written for children about children who lived through that period.

By Marianne Le Boutillier. Illustrations by Pam Du Val

The King Behind the Picture

Thus was born the idea ofwriting an imaginary storyabout a farming family withthe content based on factsshe had gleaned through herearlier research and listeningto childhood memories. Theillustrations by Pam Du Valadd extra realism to theaccount.

The following précisshould encourage the fullreading of a most interestinghistorical account seenthrough the eyes of a child.

It is May 1940, and from high inhis old oak tree in the woods,eight-year-old Jack can hear loudbooming sounds and see thickblack smoke rising into the sky onthe coast of France. He feels angryand confused. Mum and Dad won'ttell him what is going on, and now hiscousin Simon says that he is leavingJersey and wants him to look after hiscollie dog, Scratch, whilst he is gone.

Jack runs back to the farm where helives with Mum, Dad, his sister Lizzie,baby Thomas and his grandparents,Maman and Poppa. He finds hismum and asks what is happening.'It's the war, Jack,' she says. Shetells him that the family will stay inthe Island but explains that theBritish soldiers are leaving and thereis no way to stop the German Armyfrom invading. She reassures himthat whatever happens, they willalways stay together.

Over the next few days thefamily try to carry on as usual butemotions run high, and the childrenare scared of Dad's uncharacteristictemper. Friends and family evacuateto England and the Germans bombthe harbour. Then, on 1 July, theyland on the Island. Jack is the first

The King Behind the Picture

in his family to see a German soldier and he feels scared and alonewith only Scratch to talk to.

Soon rules and regulations affect them all as they learn to live ina very different world, cut off from the rest of Britain. But somerules have to be broken. To Maman's dismay, Poppa goes out aftercurfew to help his cow who is calving in the field. When he iscaptured and led away, she wonders whether she will ever see himagain. To her great relief, he returns the next day with a warning.

After months of living with the enemy, Mum takes Jack and Lizzieto the town to buy Jack some shoes but there are none to befound. When they see thin, pale children queuing for rations, theyrealise how lucky they are to live on a farm. They visit Uncle Frank'shardware shop and it is decided that 15-year-old Charles will moveto the farm so that he won't have to work for the Germans.

Apart from German propaganda, the only source of informationabout the war is from the news on Poppa's illegal wireless set. Thefamily have a carefully laid plan for times when the inspectorssearch the farm. To their great relief, their plan works. Jack andCharles escape through the woods with a forbidden piglet, and theirhidden cellar and the wireless in the attic are not found.

Without new shoes, Jack has to wear Maman's shoes to school.He is extremely embarrassed but soon realises that everyone looksrather strange wearing old, borrowed and altered clothes.

All the children in Jack's class love their teacher, Mrs Gray, butthey are too young to realise that she risks deportation by trustingthem with a secret in the classroom. Behind a painting of a sailingship is a photograph of King George VI. 'This is your King,' shesays. 'We are British, never forget that. One day the Nazis will bedefeated and we will proudly remove the sailing ship, display thephoto of our king and sing the National Anthem again.'

One day the Germans allow the local population onto the beach.For a few hours it feels like a holiday as Lizzie and Jack collectprawns and shells but Poppa wonders whether he will live to see theIsland free again.

When Jack falls ill with diphtheria, Scratch never leaves his sidebut Jack doesn't even notice that he is there. Eventually he beginsto recover, thanks to medicine from Dr Brown, and hot chickenbroth. But tragedy strikes. Three-year-old Thomas becomes ill andsupplies of the medicine have run out. When Thomas dies, Jackfeels overwhelmed with guilt that he had medicine and his brotherdid not. Dad lovingly explains that it is not his fault and helps himthrough this sad period in their lives.

When Scratch goes missing, Charles and Jack search the woodsthen, in the distance, see smoke coming from a chimney on their

cousin Simon's farm. They hide in the hayloft and watch as a soldierplays with Scratch in the yard and Jack finds it hard to reconcile thefact that his dog enjoys playing with the enemy. Suddenly, hesneezes, and Scratch runs to the barn. Fear grips them as they arediscovered but the soldier is friendly and they are sent away with awarning not to trespass again.

Now both boys want to find out what the Germans are doing there.From his attic window, Jack can see Simon's yard and watches asone man is kicked and beaten, and others climb into a lorry beforebeing driven off towards the headland. Charles decides to investigateand tells Jack that he is too young to go out during curfew but Jackfollows him into the woods. When Charles trips over an emaciatedRussian prisoner, Jack is determined to help him and the boysnarrowly escape being seen by soldiers in the field. They drag him intoa shed belonging to their neighbour, Mr Le Brun, who realises thatthey are in extreme danger.

Together they take the man to a hiding place in the woods. Dad isboth cross and proud of the boys and soon helps too, even though hecould be shot if discovered aiding a slave worker.

The family is determined to enjoy Christmas 1944. They makepresents for each other and enjoy food saved up for Christmas dinner.Lizzie's teacher joins them, and Jack thinks she looks like a tree inspringtime as she brightens their day.

By January 1945 many people, including the Germans, arestarving. The family decide to bury food in the woods, and even hide achicken in Maman's bed to her great delight! A Red Cross ship iseventually allowed to land with food parcels and these save manylives.

Then they hear the news that they have all been waiting for. Thewar is over! Charles, Lizzie and Jack join the elated crowds as theywalk to the town, passing silent German soldiers on their way. In thetown square hundreds of excited people listen to Winston Churchill'saddress. 'Our dear Channel Islands are also to be freed today,' hesays.

The following morning the rest of the family join them, and they allwatch as British ships dock and the enemy finally surrenders. It is 9May 1945, and the Occupation is over.

But Jack has one more surprise for them all. The followingmorning he proudly takes the family to school where Mrs Gray revealsthe king from behind the picture.

The surgeries have continued to be heldwith one taking place at the St SaviourBattle of Flowers fete held in Patier Road park and again at Waitrosesupermarket. These were a great success and officers provided crime reductionadvice and enjoyed meeting all the shoppers and visitors to the Fete.There are plans to hold future surgeries and Pc Rob McCallum isintending to conduct them at Grands Vaux Youth Club in February andMarch 2014 and Checkers Express at Grands Vaux on 4 January2014. Rob on behalf of the Youth Service would like to remind theParishioners that the club is open six days a week, so the youngerparishioners are invited to use this excellent facility. Pc Alex Guelpa willbe running surgeries at Checkers Five Oaks from 10.00 am onSaturday, 30 November and another on Wednesday, 22 January atHSBC Five Oaks. Pc Ben Dupre will be running surgeries at the Co-op Georgetown and the New Era Veterinary Surgery in February andMarch. Our officers would be delighted to meet you. There will bereminders in the press and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

‘C’ shift officers have continued to patrol the Parish and enjoytalking with the residents as well as regularly interact with theirHonorary Police colleagues. We have visited Five Oaks pub and otheroff-licences to promote good relations with these businesses.

Parishioners may have recently seen some press articles on theft ofitems from vehicles. ‘C’ shift officers would like to remind you to keepvaluable items out of sight and lock their vehicles. In the run up toChristmas it is particularly important to look after those presents youhave spent you hard earned cash on!

At this time of year when peoples’ attention is turned towardsfestivity, parties and other relaxing events one has to remember that tomany the conservative use of alcoholic drinks adds to the atmosphereand enjoyment of the occasion and when the intake of alcohol is at arespectable level it certainly can provide the relaxation element. However there is a downside to this activity which sadly can evade thepartaker until they themselves are not in a clear enough state of mindto exercise good judgement. It is at this stage that the capability todrive and handle a vehicle safely and within the parameters as definedin law is so often underestimated. The outcome of the effects ofdrinking alcohol and then driving a vehicle not only on the immediatefamily but also on those who are or can be seriously injured cannot beover emphasised too greatly. Please be aware that it may well be afriend or colleague who recognises that you should not attempt todrive and heed their advice if given. If this is the case then hand overyour vehicle keys to them as a further deterrent to getting behind thewheel. The penalties for conviction of a drink driving offence aresevere and can subsequently affect not only your future mobility butthose nearest and dearest to you in many ways.

A Dog is For Life?By vet Nick Thomas

The famous quote, ‘A Dog is for life, not just for Christmas’came from a charity campaign in the 1970s, to encourageresponsible dog ownership. In the current economic climate,animal charity organisations are finding themselvesinundated with pets that people cannot afford. This isobviously sad for all parties concerned, leading us toperhaps reflect on the actual costs of owning petsnowadays.

According to Sainsbury's Pet Insurance, they havecalculated that the average cost of keeping a pet is £17,000over a lifetime. Taking into account inflation this figure willbe higher in today’s money, and what's more it does notinclude the cost of buying the pet originally. For somepedigree animals this can be £700 plus.

When you look at the figures this way they are quitefrightening. This is also purely financially based, and ofcourse does not take into account what a pet will bring tothe household. If you speak to most pet owners, they willsay that cost is not the most important thing, and thatthey are a much loved part of the family. Being a vet, Isee the joy that pet ownership brings and the purpose ofthis article is in no way designed to put people off buying ananimal.

But I think before buying any pet, it is important toconsider on the costs that are involved. Sainsbury’s havebroken down the figures above, to calculate where some ofthe costs come from. They say that food accounts for 33percent of costs for dogs and 41 percent for cats,and vets bills are 15 percent for dogs and 13percent for cats. These figures are interestingfrom the point of view of obesity in our pets,

which has now been estimated to affect a third ofour cats and dogs. This epidemic not only meansfood costs are high, but also that veterinary billsincrease as we see a lot more disease in obeseanimals. For example in some cases diabetes cancost up to many thousands of pounds to treat over alifetime.

Therefore perhaps one of the most importantthings to do to keep your pet healthy, but also toreduce costs, is to make sure he or she is the correctweight. At both New Era Veterinary Hospital andArchway Veterinary Centre we run free nurse dietclinics to provide advice and support if you areworried about your pet's weight. As Christmasapproaches, and if you are thinking about purchasinga pet, then bear in mind a few things apart from thelove and companionship he or she will bring. Therewill be not only be the costs of food, healthcare,insurance, bedding, toys, etc., but also therewill be the responsibility that petownership will have on your day today lives. Also remember that theanimal charities have lots ofanimalsneedinggoodhomes.

Remember that now the dark evenings arewith us it is important that you can be seenby motorists when you are walking alongthe footpaths. Always wear something whichshows up as a light colour and the bestthing to wear is a yellow reflective vest.

In the last issue we wroteabout pets. Below is anarticle written by a vetwhich you can ask someoneto read to you and explainwhat it is about.

A section for our younger readers



A large group of St Saviour parishioners visited Villedieu-les-Poêles on Saturday, 7 September 2013. My alarm went off at 5.30 am andone hour later I was on my way to the harbour to meet my fellow travellers at the Albert Pier terminal. The boat departure time was 7.50am and the ride across to Granville was a little uncomfortable for many of us. Our friends from Villedieu were there to meet us, includingthe Mayor, and after an enthusiastic welcome and greetings, we were directed to a coach for a very comfortable ride to Villedieu.

On arrival at Villedieu, the coach took us to thelocal primary school, where we climbed downfrom the coach. We were invited to visit the LaceMuseum, La Musée Dentelles where we saw anexhibition of beautiful lace on dresses and hats,bags and shoes. A young lady gave ademonstration of lace making, but her fingerswere so fast, it was difficult to keep up! At thesame time, it was fascinating to watch the lacepattern appearing under those swift movingfingers. We visited an exhibition of copperstatuettes, illustrating the techniques of creatingmodels with copper, e.g. the Owl, and a model ofLa Bisquine, the sailing ship.

We explored the old town and tookphotographs of La Cloche on the steps of theTown Hall, ‘Hotel de Ville’. Lunch was served inthe school and then we walked to a localmanufacturer of copper. The English wife of theFrench owner gave us a lecture in Englishon how the copper pieces were made usingmolds into which the molten copper waspoured. Special tools are used forhammering the copper metal sheets intoshape, and we watched as a bowl or‘bachin’ was made; and even the lining ofold copper pans was refurbished with silver.Then we were invited to watch a film abouthow copper pans and other items weremade.

We had a further walk down the street tovisit the Bell Foundry. A young Frenchmantook us on a tour of the Foundry and gavean interesting insight to the workings of theFoundry and we learnt how a bell wascreated using a template, from which a mold was built and themolten bronze poured in. Last year, the Foundry received an order foreight replacement bells for Notre Dame in Paris, and now has anorder to build new bells for a church in Vietnam.

We had free time for ourselves to do some shopping, furtherexploration of the town and have a drink at a local bar. Villedieu is anattractive old town and the Gothic cathedral is well worth a visit. Thisyear the people of Villedieu had celebrated a religious festival calledLe Grand Sacré. Each road leading out from the church, in the formof a star, was decorated and a large-scale model of a biblical scenebuilt at the end of the road. There were still some pieces left behindwhen we visited the town.

We returned to the school for tea and waited for the coach to takeus back to Granville for the boat back to St Helier. The followingweek, a French party from Villedieu visited us, and they all stayed

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of twinning between St Saviour and Villedieu-les-Poêles

one night, and enjoyed the Battle of Britain Air Display on Thursday,12 September.

We welcomed the French party arriving at the Albert Pier themorning of Wednesday, 11 September, and those of us who werehosting our friends took them back to our homes. Lunch wasarranged at Le Quesne’s Nurseries and from there we went to FiveOaks for the official tree planting ceremony in the grass areaopposite the Five Oaks Pub and Restaurant. The French Mayorpresented our Connétable with a bell inscribed with the anniversarydate of twinning between Villedieu and St Saviour. Everyone climbedinto motor cars and we drove out to the Airport to see the static airdisplay of Red Arrows and other aeroplanes due to take part in theair display. That evening we attended a special anniversary dinner atSt Brelade’s Bay Hotel, and a granite plaque duly inscribed with‘1983 – 2013 Presented to Villedieu-les-Poêles on the occasion of

the 30th Anniversary of the Twinning with StSaviour, Jersey’, was presented to the FrenchCommittee. Senator Reg Jeune, a foundingmember of St Saviour’s Twinning Association, gavea speech and in return the French Mayor made aspeech, explaining the origins of the Twinning. Nextday, Thursday, 12 September, we entertained ourfriends to lunch at the Somerville Hotel, from wherewe were able to watch the Battle of Britain AirDisplay during the afternoon. Then we took ourfriends back to the Albert Pier for their return trip toGranville.

The origin of the TwinningAssociation between Villedieu-les-Poêles and St Saviourgoes back to the very early1980s when English townswere being ‘twinned’ withFrench towns, German townsand other towns acrossEurope. The idea of theparishes in Jersey beingtwinned with towns in Normandy developed because the origins ofJersey families go back to very early centuries when French men andwomen from Normandy explored the Channel Islands and eventuallysettled. Today’s Jersey families can all trace their family trees back toNormandy and find the villages from whence they came. TheConnétable of St Saviour in the early 1980s, the late Leonard Normanand his wife, Joyce, were the instigators of the twinning betweenVilledieu and St Saviour. Other founding members were the formerSenator Reg Jeune and his wife, Monica. There were initial meetingswith the French authorities in Villedieu and a Twinning Charter wasdrafted and approved, and signed by the Connétable, the late LenNorman, and the French Mayor, Louis Jean Bougourd. The document

is dated 24 September 1983. After thedeath of Len Norman in 1986, CliffRobins took on the mantle ofmaintaining the twinning relationstogether with Mrs Olga Ozouf, whoacted as secretary. When Philip Ozoufwas elected Connétable of St Saviour,he and his wife, Olga, maintainedenthusiastic relations with the Frenchpeople of Villedieu, and the Jeux desIles (Twinning Games) came into beingand take place every three years.Particular mention should be made forBob and Jill Olliver who have workedhard over the years maintaining ourgood relationship with the Frenchpeople of Villedieu, and in particularBob’s unstinting and sterling workorganising the various events each yearwith St Saviour’s Twinning Association.We have quarterly lunches, on aSunday, for dining and raffles. Duringthe winter and winter months2012/2013, the St Saviour TwinningAssociation in conjunction with AllianceFrancais, arranged French conversationclasses for a number of our members.Those classes proved popular and mostenjoyable, and certainly produced goodresults; those members who tookadvantage of the French conversationclasses enjoyed the benefit. There isalso a thriving Jummelage between theprimary schools of St Saviour and PlatDouet with their French twinningschools; they enjoy annual exchangevisits.Present day members of the Twinning

Committee for St Saviour are our Connétable, Sadie Rennard, BobOlliver (Secretary), Roy le Herissier, Lynette Robbe, Josie Moisan,Cara Billot, Tony Scott Warren, Reg Jeune, John Hidrio and VickyTrehorel. Present day members of the Twinning Committee forVilledieu-les-Poêles are the Mayor of Villiedieu, Daniel Mace,Francoise le Provost, Christian Gosselin, Yolande Gosselin, NicoleCottais, Georges Cochard, Colette Cochard and Lucette Delalande.

Anyone can join the Twinning Association and enjoy thenumerous benefits. If you are interested in becoming a member,please contact the Parish Hall in first instance.Cara Billot

Bill was born in London on 22 June 1923 but his parents moved to Jerseyin 1926 when Bill was three years old. He was the youngest of six children.His parents bought a business inHalkett Street and later moved toAquila Road where they had an icecream factory, an off license and afish and chip shop. Bill remembersmaking the crisps which his fathersold. However, tragedy stuck as hisfather died when Bill was only nine-years-old. A cigarette smoked by acustomer in the Aquila Road shop setalight the fittings which led tobreathing problems for Bill's father,then pneumonia, double pneumoniaand his death in 1932. Bill wastherefore unable to take up his placeat Victoria College and he moved fromSt Mark's School to La Motte Street School, having started hiseducation at Halkett Place School.

Despite this tragedy Bill's older siblings carried on the businessand after a brief break in England Bill and his mother were backin Jersey in 1937. The family had carried on the businessdelivering fish around the Island from their base in Queen’s Roadand a shop in Cattle Street. Later they acquired Orvis Fisheries inHalkett Street and a shop in Georgetown. Bill bought the last ofhis siblings out in 1980.

However, between 1937 and 1980 Bill had lived a veryinteresting life. Bill and his mother were evacuated on 21 June1940, arriving in England on Bill's 17th birthday on 22 June.They went to London to join Bill's sister Nellie and Bill soon foundwork delivering fruit and vegetables. However, the bombing of hissister's home led to his evacuation to Lancashire where heworked in a garage (making munitions in the back area) beforemoving to Liverpool to repair bomb damage. He then applied tojoin the RAF but was allocated to the Army where he was with atraining company and then joined two of his brothers in theGuards Armoured Division for which he carried ammunition tovarious parts of Great Britain.

Bill was sent to France in 1944 just after the D-Day landings.His speciality was waterproofing engines so that they could drivethrough the sea to reach land. After this Bill was with the GuardsArmoured Division moving from France to Belgium and Holland.He showed me a report of the 'Mad Dash' reported in the DailyMail of 7 April 1945. By then Bill and his comrades had liberated

Bill Reynolds has lived here in St Saviour forover 60 of his 90 years. During the early yearsof his life he was resident in St Helier and otherplaces but he was, as many of you will know,serving as a soldier and at the forefront ofaction during World War Two. It is myprivilege to present him as the ParishPersonality for La Cloche.

Brussels - see picture of him and his two brothers with delightedlocals. However, by then Bill had experienced some horrific eventssuch as the loss of 112 tucks inside Eindhoven, bombed by theGermans in 30 minutes. On another occasion Bill had driven a truckout of Eindhoven only to have it set alight by the collapse of a blazingbuilding; he managed to prevent the explosion of three tons ofammunition by removing the blazing canopy. However, the Germandefences were too strong and Bill and his comrades did not takeArnhem. By Christmas 1944 Bill was at the 'Battle of the Bulge'south of Louvain where, together with the Americans, his divisionstopped the German advance.

During the later stages of the conflict Bill was moving throughHolland and Germany. When he reached Hamburg he found it

destroyed. In Bremerhaven he walked into aGerman camp and was saluted by the wholecompany. By then he had had many near deathencounters such as bombs being dropped veryclose to him on a number of occasions.

Bill was fortunate to be demobbed early as hewas in the building trade and came from Jersey sohe was sent back home here in June 1945 to sortout the family business and help put Jersey backon its feet. He salvaged the delivery vans andrestarted the business. By then the business wasdelivering fish and green groceries. Soon Billdeveloped an interest in motor racing. On theminus side this led to him being the sole survivorof the race accident in 1949 at Bel Royal at whichhe had been a marshal but on the plus side thisled to his meeting Doreen shortly afterwards at herbrother's house while he was recovering, still onsticks. They shared an interest in motors and weremarried in June 1950 in St Helier Church. Initiallythey lived in Georgetown but soon moved to theirpresent home in Wellington Road, St Saviour. Thehouse grew as their family grew. Christopher,Jacquie and Nicola arrived. Bill continued it himself

until 1991. During this time he found the time to act as a Constable'sOfficer in St Saviour from 1967 to 1988. Since then he and Doreenhave enjoyed boating, bridge, bowls, family life, foreign travel andfreedom! They have attended many commemorative events, beenentertained at Buckingham Palace and frequently remember thosewith whom Bill fought during World War Two.

We wish them well in their much deserved retirement.Angela Swindell

Following on from the journey around the Parish boundary during theprevious issues of La Cloche and owing to the popularity of the series it hasbeen decided to re-visit the route again but this time to concentrate onspecific items and places which can be seen from the boundary line and withemphasis on their historical and cultural aspects. There are many featureswithin our Parish which by virtue of not being visible from the defining linewill not be featured but perhaps at some future period in La Cloche whenthe proposed source has been exhausted these may eventually included.

The Association was formed in January 2009 as a result ofpreliminary requests by Jean McLaughlin 2005 for evacuees to makecontact with her. As a result of this initial request a lunch was held theHotel Ambassadeur where stories and recollections were exchanged

Know your limitsthe next phase

The Jersey Evacuees Association

However to immediately break with those new pre-set rules it isintended to commence in this issue to feature an object which doesnot lie on or within sight of the boundary but does at this time of theyear bear a significant connection. I refer to the Parish granite crosssituated at the triangle of land adjacent to St Saviour's School. Thiswas erected along with eleven others within the Island tocommemorate the Double Millennium of the Christian era. Whether itis sited at this particular location for a special reason the writer isunaware, but in comparison to several of the others erectedsimultaneously in the Island it is certainly in a very prominentposition.

Wayside crosses exist from Saxon and Mediaeval times and asidefrom their religious connotation provided the traveller with anindication of his position along his journey. In France they arecommonly known as Calvaires and in Quebec where there are many

thousands as Croix de Chemin. Disentangling the religious,charitable, memorial and practical motives for erecting these crosseshas provided plenty of scope for speculation. Many do seem to bedotted along the paths between monastic sites, though seculartravellers would follow a similar path. However in the case of ourParish cross and its proximity to the Parish Church one can feel thatat the time of its emplacement the celebration of a birth twothousand years previously was uppermost in many peoples’ minds.

As we approach another year onwards from that dedicatorymoment why not consider attending our Parish Church on ChristmasEve at 11.00 pm. Even if your personal beliefs are not grounded inthe religious concept of the building, to sit and wonder at thebeautiful creative architecture of the structure can provide a deepsatisfaction to prepare for the season of goodwill.

In 2006 a plaque was placed at the Albert Pier to mark the departure forEngland of those who left the Island in 1939 and every subsequent year aceremony has been held at that location followed by a luncheon. In 2008 theStates of Jersey Harbours Department installed lights above the plaque. In2009 shortly after the formation of the committee, a book was compiled titled‘Jersey Evacuees Remember’ in which stories of the evacuees were featured.The initial print run sold out but a revised edition is available today for amodest sum. The Association have also introduced a lapel badge.

In 2012 the committee, along with the Connétable of St Helier and arepresentative of Jersey Monumental went to Weymouth to unveil a plaque tomark the spot where in 1939 the Jersey evacuees came ashore. Plans for thefuture include the production of another book and to this end the Associationis hoping to make contact with any other evacuee or relative with a story totell. A return trip to Weymouth is also planned for 2014 to revisit the plaqueplaced two years ago and visit the old fort. Anyone with information or whowishes to find out more about the Association is requested to contact theSecretary, Anthony Lagadu on 873318 or mobile 07797 764480.

‘Mmmmm! Smells like Christmas!’ The verdict came from one of theeight-year-olds during our recent Êtudes Jèrriaises [Jersey Studies]lessons when we were doing our Masterchef style blind taste-test. Theproduct that was being trialled, unknown to the tasters, was du nièrbeurre [black butter], our traditional apple-based spread. Some of thechildren were able to identify some ingredients – des pommes [apples],du chucre [sugar] and d'la cannelle [cinnamon] came up frequently,with others who had a good idea of the method of productionmentioning du cidre [cider]. There were some who incorrectlysuggested des figues [figs], des raisîns [raisins], des mouaithes[blackberries] and des frâses [strawberries]. None of them expectedla rigolice [licorice], d'la râpeuse dé pé d'limon [grated lemon zest] oreune fi d'thangnie [a cobweb] – though I hastened to tell them thatthe nièr beurre that they were being asked to test came from a quality-controlled environment!

In the traditional method of production, the mixture would be boiledover a wood-fire in un bachîn or eune peîle [a big copper basin – thelatter being the larger size] standing on un trépid [a three-leggedstand which has trais pids – three feet]. If the chimney hadn't beenused for some time, a cobweb might easily fall in – it was said that itwould add to the flavour!

In olden times, if someone was making a lot of noise, they would besaid figuratively to sonner les peîles et les bachîns [ring the basins],

Par Tony Scott Warren

Des Pommes et des Pommièrs – Of Apples and Apple-trees

La Clioche Cratchie

though this would be done in reality if bees were swarming,presumably in order to make the insects move to a quieterlocation! While in English we talk about the kettle calling the pot black, inJèrriais it's the basin that calls the stand black-bottomed – ch'est la peîletch'appelle l'trépid nièr tchu.

Apples also featured heavily at La Faîs'sie d'Cidre [the cider-makingfestival] at Hamptonne recently. We had our Jèrriais table alongside SamarèsManor's stand, and I found it fascinating to see a stem described as a cider-family tree, with four different varieties of cider-apple grafted on a singlepommyi [apple-tree]. There were lots of traditional Jersey apples, with talkof nièrs Binets [black Binets], mûsé d'boeu [bull's muzzles], grosRom'this [big Romerils] and Douches dames [sweet ladies]. Eating appleswere described as pommes dé tabl'ye [table apples], which were alwaysdes pommes douoches [sweet apples]. A wise saying advised ‘Fautgarder eune pomme pouor la sé’ [you must keep an apple for theevening], meaning that one should put money aside for times of need, butanother reflected on the Jersey law that gave most of the inheritance to theoldest son – La pomme au garçon et la pâte à la garce [the apple forthe boy, and the pastry for the young girl].

Whether you're eating apples or enjoyingwhat they are made into, I wish everyone unraide bouôn Noué! [a very happyChristmas!]

p22 Winter2013St Saviour Parish Magazine

As the evenings draw in and theChristmas lights start to appear intown, it is time to reflect onanother busy year. Planning

and environment issues have often been inthe news this year and there are someimportant decisions to be made in thecoming months. A consultation on changesto the Island Plan is underway and isconsidering the future of the Longueville Nurseries site, which could be developed toprovide up to 20 extra homes. I amparticularly interested in making sure thatany new residential development that isagreed should include affordable homes forlocal families to buy. Many St Saviour residents live close to

busy roads and I was very pleased topublish the Air Quality Strategy earlier thisyear. The new strategy will ensure that wemonitor vehicle and other emissions andtake positive steps to reduce these as far aspossible.Although we have only a very short

stretch of coast actually in St Saviour, I amsure we all enjoy our close connections withthe sea and appreciate our marine heritage.I am currently conducting a review of theway we use our marine resources to makesure that we can make the most of our localfishing industry and help it developfurther.On a more personal note, it has been

wonderful to meet fellow parishioners outand about during the long hot summer atParish fetes and garden parties. In my owngarden, after a disastrous season last year,I have been enjoying a healthy crop oftomatoes and squash.I wish everyone in St Saviour a joyful

Christmas and a Happy New Year. If youhave any problem or issue you would liketo discuss, please don’t hesitate to get intouch.Deputy Rob Duhamel

Despite the gloom anddoom that still prevails, there havebeen some notable highlights thisyear.

The Island, and St Saviour, did very well in theNatwest Island Games. The heat and the distancedid not prevent Jersey earning a large number ofmedals. As a member of the Education team, I always

come away impressed by the calibre of ourstudents. Be it concerts, award evenings or eventslike Chique week at Hautlieu or the Valentine'sDinner at Grainville - all are marked byenthusiasm and the commitment of staff andstudents alike.We have just published the sports strategy after

months of consultation with the sports communityand the extent of volunteer support has been arevelation to me. Indeed, there are more sportsvolunteers than in other sectors of voluntary work.It has also been important to stress that sport is

much more than competitive sport, importantthough that is. There is a massive effort to promotefitness and to link activity to better health and toinvolve people, young and not so young, whichwould not normally join a sports club.It would be nice to wake up and see all those

stubborn problems and challenges disappear. Onthat note, I hope that the Maufant situation can beresolved - progress is being made and it would begood if the matter could be sorted before theelection!While the economy seems to be improving,

there are far too many people unemployed and wehave to hope that the employment programmeswill work. There is nothing worse for a societythan having people of all ages and backgroundsunderusing their skills and education.As ever, much of the satisfaction of this work

comes from meeting people who, day in and dayout, work hard for their community.I wish you all a happy Christmas and a

prosperous New Year!Deputy Roy Le Hérissier

We are drawing close to theend of yet another year and2013 has seen some difficulttimes for many. Thesedifficulties have rooted frommany areas whether they bepersonal family issues orgeneral societal problems suchas parking and commuting. During the year a network

survey has been carried out onthe Parish in order to identifypossible solutions to the ongoingtraffic issues surrounding theschools. I have also continued toassist many individuals andfamilies with ways forward inparticular, with housing andsocial security.As Chair of the Public

Accounts Committee andPresident of the ScrutinyChairman’s Committee a largeproportion of my time has beenused to ensure robust reportingto aid transparency andaccountability in the States. Ihave also been party to a reviewfor the Machinery ofGovernment wherebysignificant changes to improvethe working of both theExecutive and Scrutiny are nowunderway.I am also happy to announce

my marriage to Wayne LeBrocq on 19 October 2013.Although now Mrs Le Brocq Iwill continue to be known asDeputy Vallois.I would like to take this

opportunity to offer my bestwishes to all St Saviourparishioners and their familiesover this festive season. Wishing you all a merry

Christmas and a healthy andprosperous New Year!Kind regardsDeputy Tracey Vallois

Season’sgreetingsLa Cloche invited the St Saviourdeputies to send seasonalgreetings to our parishioners



Besides being a Deputy for St Saviour No 2 DistrictSous L'Eglise I am also the Minister for Transport and Technicalservices.

One of my priorities is to improve the bus service in the Parish and install asmany bus shelters as possible to keep parishioners dry during inclementweather. During the snow we had earlier in the year the Parish showed a tremendous

community spirit in coming together to help neighbours deal with the disruptionand to make sure everyone had food and fuel.I have taken over the maintenance and care of the Parish Church clock which

is something I find very therapeutic and interesting, also the 96 granite steps inthe tower keep me fit.In August this year my wife Isabella and I put on the successful free Jersey

Film Festival in Howard Davis Park, with attendances reaching three and a halfthousand people per night especially for the family Walt Disney films, it was aterrific week raising much needed funds for Jersey Hospice. And next year willbe our twentieth anniversary so we will be planning something special.With the transfer of Victoria Cottage Homes to the Housing Department I

look forward to the homes being refurbished to a high standard, and LangtryGardens being finished ahead of schedule. We will be welcoming St Saviourresidents who will be relocating there very soon.As a committee member of La Cloche I will continue to contribute and deliver

your Parish magazine. Although I am no longer on the St Saviour battle offlowers committee I can still be found helping out at the shed and events.My wife Isabella and I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a

very happy New Year.Deputy Kevin Lewis

2013has been a challengingyear, helping many parishionerswith the issues affecting them,

supporting the Parish with the Battle ofFlowers especially with all the fund-raisingwork, not being afraid to get my hands dirtyand pitch in. It has always been good to hearfrom parishioners sharing their experiencesand thoughts on day-to-day issues at thevarious Parish events. I was honoured to beable represent the Parish and Island inCanada in June, being able to share someexamples of good practice with otherparliamentarians from around theCommonwealth. I know that the economicclimate still causes many difficulties to thecommunity and bear that very much in mindwhilst in the States. I'd also like to thankthose parishioners for all the messages ofsupport in what can be a very lonelyposition.Wishing everyone in the Parish a peaceful

Christmas and much success for the NewYear and throughout 2014.Many thanks,Deputy Jeremy Maçon

Then our next major event was our Annual Fete. This year it washeld on 21 September.

We arelooking at float designs for 2014 and our final choice will be made inJanuary, so if you have an idea you would like to be considered,please sketch it on paper and send it into the Parish Hall office bymid-December to make sure the Association receive it in time. Weprefer ideas for the Junior float to come from people aged 18-yearsand under, but the senior float does not have any age restrictions.

We would like to thank our sponsors for 2013, Freelance MotorGroup, Jersey Post, Larson's, and the Parish of St Saviour.

Our thanks also go to Derek Warwick Honda for sponsoring ourMiss St Saviour competition and to Easenmyne for sponsoring ourfashion show. Also to the Seymour Group of Hotels for raffle prizesand J. R.

We hold these car washes on thefirst Saturday of each month, but they will bestopping during the colder months, so keepwatching La Cloche for our restart date, or themany advertising boards around the Parish.

We will be holding it at the Parish Hall from 10 o'clockuntil 2.00 pm and there are many stalls, books, bottles, bric-a-bric,cakes and refreshments to name a few. We are in need of goods forthese, and would be grateful for anything you should wish to donate.Please call Anne on 865521 who will arrange collection. Thank you.
