When’s your<br />
glass day?<br />
Glass that is<br />
collected for<br />
recycling is crushed<br />
and reused as<br />
a basic building<br />
material on<br />
the island<br />
Glass recycling is easy. Use your Parish glass recycling scheme.<br />
Glass should NOT be thrown away with general rubbish as the Energy from Waste Plant<br />
(where your rubbish goes) cannot process glass. During the incineration process, glass melts<br />
but then cools and sets, causing extra maintenance work and potential mechanical problems.<br />

Out and About<br />
in the Parish<br />
Familiar faces at the Parish Hall<br />
have taken on new roles with the retirement of the former<br />
Parish Secretary Mike Mallet. Bernie Buesnel now fulfils<br />
the role of Parish Secretary having held the Office of<br />
Assistant for many years and Denise Ferri moves to<br />
Assistant Secretary.<br />
Senior residents of the Parish<br />
were once more able to collect their Christmas vouchers<br />
courtesy of Mr David Kirch. The willing team of volunteer<br />
distributors maintained cover for the steady flow of<br />
grateful recipients.<br />
Travelling along <strong>La</strong><br />
Route de la Hougue Bie<br />
one notices that an unusual landmark has disappeared -<br />
the burnt tree sculpture near the junction with <strong>La</strong> Rue des<br />
Friquettes, which has been succumbed to “lateral<br />
persuasion”. Whether this has been effected by natural<br />
degradation or with the assistance of miscreants remains<br />
a mystery?<br />
The Jersey Embroiderers Guild<br />
As its name implies this group meets to further the fine<br />
art of embroidery and all are welcome to learn this very<br />
satisfying skill. They meet on the third Tuesday of each<br />
month in the evening at Trinity Parish Hall. If you are<br />
interested and wish to find out more please contact St<br />
Saviour resident Mrs June Poucher on 723854.<br />

In February the children from Year 1,<br />
Mrs Fowler’s class, at St Saviour’s School made an educational visit to the<br />
Parish Church. Having been introduced to the Rector they proceeded with their<br />
clip-boards to make drawings of the various church ornaments as part of their<br />
studies into community aspects. They took a brief respite from their tasks to<br />
assemble for a group photograph in the chancel.<br />

Cara Billot and John Miller<br />
Cara Billot is a member of a well known St Saviour family. Moreover, she is also an<br />
important member of the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Cloche</strong> Team. Thus we were all absolutely thrilled<br />
when her long time friend John Miller, popped the question with impeccable timing<br />
on December 16th.<br />
Cara's family has lived in <strong>La</strong> Porte for 150 years.<br />
However, her father, Mervyn, was working in England<br />
when Cara was born and her early years were spent in<br />
England and in Jersey before the family returned here for<br />
good in 1968. Mervyn met Sheila, his wife, in England and<br />
they married there in 1949. Cara has two sisters, Frances,<br />
who lives in New Zealand and Nicolette who lives in<br />
London though they are both frequent visitors back home<br />
to Jersey. Cara attended Jersey High School and Jersey<br />
College for Girls before taking a secretarial course at<br />
Highlands College. Her first job was at the Housing<br />
Department and interestingly, after many other posts both<br />
in London and in Jersey, it is to the Housing<br />
Department that Cara has returned. Cara was an<br />
enthusiastic horsewoman but a serious accident in<br />
1980 necessitated treatment in London and while<br />
she was there she worked for entertainment lawyers<br />
and studied for the Legal Executive Part 1 exams.<br />
She returned to Jersey in 1992 but it would be<br />
another eight years before she met John at work in<br />
a Trust Company. Since returning to Jersey Cara<br />
has been involved with the Sea Cadets , <strong>La</strong> Société<br />
Jersiaise, The Island Singers, St Saviour's Church,<br />
clearing <strong>La</strong> Jardin Des Buttes and <strong>La</strong> <strong>Cloche</strong>. Thus<br />
she is well known within the Parish and the Island.<br />
John Miller is a Scot who was born in Perth. He<br />
came to Jersey in 1988 to work for Channel TV as<br />
an accountant. He moved on in time to posts in<br />
finance and met Cara through one of these in 2000.<br />
They share a mutual interest in Classic Cars and<br />
own up to having a number of these between them<br />
housed in different parts of the Island. Together,<br />
they enjoy taking part in Classic Car events in<br />
France as well as in Jersey. John spends much of<br />
his leisure time rebuilding cars, especially Ford cars<br />
from the 1930's onwards. John still has family in<br />

Scotland in the shape of his mother and his two sons and three grandchildren<br />
as well as a daughter in Australia who is returning to Scotland to be married<br />
later this year. However, after twenty-five years in Jersey he himself is well<br />
rooted here.<br />
Cara had a brush with serious illness earlier in 2012 and we missed her<br />
from the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Cloche</strong> Team while she underwent treatment. With the end of this<br />
in sight in December John took Cara out to L'Etacq in a hailstorm and with the<br />
thunder crashing and the lightning flashing he proposed- in the car-not on the<br />
beach as intended!<br />
<strong>La</strong> <strong>Cloche</strong> offers its heartiest congratulations to John and Cara. We wish<br />
them every happiness for their future together here in St Saviour.<br />

News from<br />
Grainville School<br />
The Entrepreneurship<br />
Challenge<br />
Below: Pupils taking part in<br />
the Entrepreneurship Challenge<br />
Grainville School has recently launched a joint venture with Jersey<br />
College for Girls known as The Entrepreneurship Challenge <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
It is funded and supported by Ogiers, Barclays Wealth, Jersey<br />
Telecom and Ernst and Young. Students had to form teams of<br />
between 2-6 and submit their entrepreneurial idea of how to use<br />
an initial investment of £100, to trade over 8 weeks. Headteacher<br />
John McGuinness and Business Studies Teacher Jo Carroll then<br />
selected the lucky 10 teams. On January 31st <strong>2013</strong>, the teams<br />
met their mentors from one of the four supporting companies at<br />
The Pomme d’Or hotel and consolidated their ideas and carried<br />
out market research. They are now trading their company until the<br />
end of March, they will be judged by a school and corporate<br />
partner panel in April and final winners announced at the awards<br />
ceremony in May. Teams will be judged on profit maximisation,<br />
community impact and team work.<br />
Students have come up with many different ideas for their<br />
business ventures including organising concerts, cake sales,<br />
jewellery making, selling flowers, organising dance lessons, as well<br />

Service Award<br />
Winner 2012<br />
Employee of a<br />
small business<br />
as creating customised mugs and t-shirts. Although any profit which the<br />
students make is theirs to keep many of the teams have decided to give<br />
a proportion, or in one case, all of their profits to charity. This shows<br />
how students at Grainville School care for and value their local<br />
community.<br />
Year 10<br />
Charity Week<br />
Year 10 students at Grainville School spent<br />
a week fundraising in aid of Jersey Hospice<br />
Care at the end of January. Many activities<br />
ran throughout the week culminating in a<br />
non-uniform day. Students were given<br />
responsibility to come up with ideas,<br />
advertise, organise and run events to raise<br />
money for such a vital charity in the Jersey<br />
Community. The week included a<br />
blindfolded guess the gunge, a trio of eating<br />
challenges, a penalty shoot out and even a<br />
gunging of a teacher. Year 10 students also<br />
challenged their teachers to a netball match<br />
where the teachers just got the better of<br />
them! In total over £1000 was raised adding<br />
to the impressive £57,000 the school has<br />
raised for charity over the past 3 years.<br />
James Scott, Head of Year 10 said<br />
“Grainville places such a high importance of<br />
giving students the opportunity to raise<br />
funds and support the local charities in the<br />
Jersey Community. Our aim for next week<br />
is not only to raise as much money as<br />
possible but to also raise pupil awareness of<br />
Jersey Hospice Care and the outstanding<br />
work they do within our local community. In<br />
addition, giving students the responsibility to<br />
run and organise weeks such as this also<br />
equips them with important skills they can<br />
use in the future.”<br />
Valentines<br />
Meal<br />
Grainville School’s local<br />
community were once<br />
again treated to a 3<br />
course meal known as<br />
the annual “Valentines<br />
Meal”. Year 11 students<br />
and staff prepared<br />
vegetable soup with<br />
heart shaped croutons,<br />
beef casserole and<br />
Victoria sponge for over<br />
100 parishioners. The<br />
meal was served by year<br />
11 students and the<br />
night also involved some<br />
musical entertainment<br />
provided by Grainville<br />
students. The evening<br />
culminated in a raffle<br />
and the now traditional<br />
singing of “We’ll Meet<br />
Again” and “Beautiful<br />
Jersey”. This is a key<br />
event in Grainville’s<br />
Calendar where<br />
students get the<br />
opportunity to give<br />
something back to the<br />
school’s community.

A load of<br />
old bricks?<br />
What do the Copps,<br />
Champions and Jolins<br />
have in common?<br />
They were the three families who dominated brick<br />
making in St Saviour. At one time, there were<br />
twenty-four brickfields in the Island, with a<br />
concentration in Mont a L’Abbe and St Saviour, as<br />
Deputy Roy Le Hérissier explains.<br />
The heyday of the industry was in the nineteenth century, although<br />
the last known brickfield carried on until the early 1950’s and was at<br />
J.W. Huelin’s at Five Oaks (now the Normans’ site).<br />
We start with Southview, operated by the Copps. It was<br />
worked from the 1890’s to 1914. It seems Southview is<br />
the house now known as Sunnydene, - the big house on<br />
the corner of <strong>La</strong> Grande Route de St Martin and the<br />
Maufant Road. For years there was a sign and decorative<br />
brick work on the house gable (Maufant Road side). The<br />
sign referred to the Copp family but is now painted over.<br />
The excavated brickfield (or more properly, clayfield)<br />
is just past Sunnydene up the Maufant Road. Like a lot<br />

of former brickfields (actually clay fields) it can be recognised<br />
because it is lower than the road and, even though a small housing<br />
estate has now been built, there is clear evidence of a large hole.<br />
Apparently, the base of the kiln could be seen up until 1980.<br />
The other major brickfield was found at Five Oaks, and was<br />
owned by the Champion family. They also had major brickfields at<br />
Mont a L’Abbe, just past the Motor Mall site going in the Town<br />
direction.<br />
One of the clayfields for the Five Oak’s brickfield was on the site<br />
now occupied by the JEP, next to the then Le Geyt Farm. Older<br />
readers will recall that, before the JEP arrived the site consisted of a<br />
large hole. Apparently there was also a large excavated hole on the<br />
now Norman’s site which was used in later years as a rubbish dump,<br />
accessed from Rue a la Dame.<br />
Mr Champion built and occupied Aylesbury House in Five Oaks<br />
and was also famous for building the Troglodyte Caves - a famous<br />
nineteenth century tourist attraction to be found on what is now Clos<br />
Paumelle Estate.<br />
The other major yard was found, unsurprisingly, in Old Brickfield<br />
<strong>La</strong>ne, Longueville. Look to the left at the small estate opposite the<br />
workshops of Derek Warwick. It was owned by the Jolins who had<br />
the dubious distinction of having a son, Daniel, who killed his father,<br />
the owner, with a brickbat and was the last person to be publically<br />
hanged at Gallows Hill, Westmount.<br />
There were also brickfields at Croix Besnard but little further<br />
information is available. Why did brickmaking boom and what led to<br />
its demise? The massive programme of fortification building in the<br />
Napoleonic Wars undoubtedly contributed as did the growth in the<br />
town following large scale immigration in the early to mid nineteenth<br />
century. The Island’s trade with Gaspé and Newfoundland in North<br />
America provided another use for bricks. Ships came with cod for<br />
the Island and Europe and left with bricks as ballast. Bricks for fish!<br />
If you want evidence of Jersey brick houses and structures you will<br />
find them in the Gaspé and Newfoundland as well as Jersey.<br />
The last major building to be built of brick was the Forum<br />
Cinema. If you want to see one of the last major examples standing,<br />
go to the Parcels Office of the Post Office in Commercial Street<br />
where there are large walls built of Jersey brick. It was the custom<br />
for the brickyards to stamp their names on the bricks but there are<br />
no names visible at the Post Office building. Perhaps these bricks<br />
were laid with the names facing inwards or in nooks and crannies<br />
not open to public view.<br />
Why did the industry decline? There were changes to building<br />
methods, cheaper bricks could be imported from England and the<br />
clayfields became exhausted. Because of subsequent building, the<br />
evidence of this once prolific industry has largely disappeared.<br />
I am indebted to Bob and Alan Copp and to Graham Sty (of the<br />
Champion family) for their help as well as the Société Library. If<br />
you have any more information or wish to correct anything<br />

Glanville<br />
150 years of history<br />
Glanville as a Home providing care for elderly ladies,<br />
has been in continuous existence since 1860, and is<br />
believed to be the oldest establishment of its kind in<br />
Britain, and possibly in Europe.<br />
It was actually started in 1857, when two Jersey ladies became<br />
concerned about the welfare of a poor, blind woman and placed her<br />
in the care of a widow. Two more poor women followed shortly after<br />
and funds were required for their maintenance. Money was raised<br />
through a bazaar and in 1860 a Committee was formed to supervise<br />
the distribution of the funds.<br />
By 1861 there were 25 women, and<br />
the House was in Regent Road, St<br />
Helier. The ladies were expected to be<br />
well enough to make their own beds<br />
‘and the like’, yet in 1878 one resident<br />
was aged 102. Money had been<br />
received from legacies, and in 1884 the<br />
Home purchased the larger premises of<br />
Regent Villa, 17 Regent Road.<br />
In 1910 each lady was paying 3/- toward their weekly<br />
maintenance, and this had been raised to 10/6d by 1939. In 1947<br />
the charity became incorporated as the ‘Home for Infirm and Aged<br />
Women’, which was approved by the States of Jersey and confirmed<br />
by His Majesty (King George VI) in Council. By then electricity had<br />
been installed in the Home, followed by radio and a gas heater.<br />
By 1963 the residents had again outgrown their premises, and<br />
Glanville in St Marks Road was purchased. There was central<br />
heating, and most ladies had their own room with hot water. The<br />
adjacent house was bought shortly afterwards, allowing more<br />
bedrooms and bathrooms to be built.<br />
By 1995 further alterations were required to<br />
keep in line with modern demands, and<br />
bedrooms were converted to become en suite.<br />
By now, domestic, care and nursing staff were<br />
employed, so the ladies no longer ‘have to<br />
make their own bed’ although the Home is<br />
registered to provide residential care only and it<br />
is not possible to provide full nursing care for<br />
any length of time.<br />
In 2010 Their Royal Highnesses the Earl and<br />
Countess of Wessex visited the home. They<br />
spoke individually to all the residents, staff and<br />
guests and unveiled a plaque to commemorate<br />
the visit and to celebrate the 150th Anniversary<br />
of the founding of the Home.<br />
A conservatory was built and the patio<br />
enlarged so that residents could sit outside and<br />
enjoy the beautiful gardens surrounding the<br />
Home. Part of the finance for this came from<br />
the annual ITEX Round Island walk, the<br />
Association of Jersey Charities and benefactors.<br />
We are fortunate that the wives of our<br />
Lieutenant Governors have agreed to be<br />
Patrons of the Home. Mrs Valerie Ridgway<br />

occasions, particularly to mark the 100th birthday of Mrs Allenett and<br />
Miss Luce. We are delighted that <strong>La</strong>dy McColl has agreed to be our<br />
Patron and has visited the Home.<br />
In 2012 Mrs Andrea Hughes was appointed Manager of the<br />
Home. She has introduced many new activities<br />
including visits to the theatre, exercise classes, drives<br />
and outings for afternoon tea, and communion once a<br />
month taken by Rev Martin Shea.<br />
Although most of our residents come to us for long<br />
term care we also welcome ladies to stay for a while<br />
for respite care, and a number have decided to take<br />
up residence after a spell of such care.<br />
The President and Committee are very<br />
appreciative of the fact that the home has been in existence for so<br />
long, much modernised in equipment, facilities, and care, but still run<br />
on very similar principles. We still keep to the precepts of our<br />
predecessors but with modern demands for facilities and care we are<br />
continually upgrading our<br />
facilities and constantly fund<br />
raising to manage this. We<br />
welcome visitors and possible<br />
new residents to the home to<br />
look around. Do contact our<br />
Manager to make an<br />
appointment to ensure someone<br />
is free to take you around. We<br />
very much hope that we shall be<br />
able to continue to care for<br />
generations of older ladies for<br />
many years.<br />

53rd Island Walk<br />
On 26th March 450 boys from the secondary school will be<br />
competing in the school’s 36 mile Island Walk. <strong>La</strong>st year, the<br />
boys hard work in gaining sponsorship meant they raised over<br />
£20,000. Now in its 53rd year, the school hopes to raise as<br />
much money for two very important charities; Jersey Women’s<br />
Refuge and Romanian charity Ecce Homo. Locally, the Jersey<br />
Women’s Refuge operates 365 days, 24 hours a day and is a<br />
safe house where women can come to if they experience<br />
domestic abuse. The school’s international charity, Ecce<br />
Homo is a Christian charity that helps the poor offering<br />
practical and spiritual support.<br />
Scott House<br />
Charity Week<br />
Students from Scott House pulled<br />
a minibus along the Five Mile<br />
Road on Saturday 2nd February.<br />
The boys from the Secondary<br />
School carried out the fundraiser<br />
to launch the House Charity Week<br />
which also included a charity<br />
sleepover and cake sale. The<br />
week raised money for the Jersey<br />
Kidney Patients Association.<br />
The WOW Factor <strong>2013</strong><br />
Nearly 500 spectators packed out St Mary and St Peter’s Church on Thursday 7th<br />
February for the school’s annual Talent Competition, The WOW Factor. In its sixth<br />
year, this event attracted more than 60 youngsters that auditioned for the contest<br />
but only 10 students could be put through to the final. Spectators watched as the<br />
contestants battled it out to win the competition, which saw Year 9 student singersongwriter<br />
Bob Baker win this year’s competition. The event raised £301.04 for<br />
this year’s chosen charity which was the Teenage Cancer Trust, Jersey Appeal.<br />
The staff and students at De <strong>La</strong> Salle look forward to an even better 2014!<br />

Know your limits<br />
We continue to follow the Parish Boundary at its<br />
northernmost limits. Continuing from the last point of<br />
reference, ”<strong>La</strong> Preference” it traverses the field to the<br />
south of that building in a westerly direction, having to<br />
its North side the Parish of St Martin.<br />
Upon reaching a point approx. 200 metres from <strong>La</strong> Route de Maufant it turns<br />
through 90 degrees to the right and cuts across <strong>La</strong> Rue du Sacrament at the<br />
single location where there exists a slight dog-leg in this otherwise straight<br />
section of roadway (photo 1). It then meanders northwards across the fields<br />
and traverses <strong>La</strong> Rue de <strong>La</strong> Vignette (photo 2 looking east, photo 3<br />
looking west) at a point approx. halfway between <strong>La</strong> Route de Maufant<br />
and <strong>La</strong> Rue du Hucquet (St Martin) and emerges onto <strong>La</strong> Rue de la<br />
Maitrerie approx.150 metres to the East of <strong>La</strong> Route de Maufant<br />
(photo 4).<br />
(Some maps show the Parish boundary following the centre<br />
line of <strong>La</strong> Rue de la Maitrerie, in actual fact none of that road<br />
comes under the jurisdiction of our Parish.)<br />

takes a sharp left hand turn<br />
to the south. However if one<br />
continues along to the<br />
junction with <strong>La</strong> Rue de<br />
Dielament (Trinity) and looks<br />
across to the right there are<br />
four properties and a field<br />
forming a separate block<br />
which is in the Parish of St<br />
Saviour (photo 8). The<br />
property known as The Daffodils is reached at the road junction<br />
(photo 5). Here the boundary moves across the exiting road so that<br />
<strong>La</strong> Route de Maufant is wholly in St Saviour (photo 6). Travelling<br />
northwards one suddenly notices a change in the composition of the<br />
tarmac surface at the left turn into <strong>La</strong> Piece Mauger (photo 7). This<br />
point marks the northernmost extremity of the Parish of St, Saviour<br />
and it is of interest to note that should the Parish boundary continue<br />
northwards for<br />
another ½ mile then<br />
the Parish of St<br />
Saviour would actually<br />
bisect the Island in a<br />
south/ north direction<br />
from the Dicq slipway<br />
to the pronounced<br />
inlet near <strong>La</strong> Tete des<br />
Hougues in Trinity.<br />
(However, thankfully<br />
8 this is not the case;<br />
just imagine the<br />
ramifications of such a<br />
conjecture if overseen<br />
by modern politics.<br />
Ed. Note.)<br />

historical reasoning for this is uncertain but one theory put forward is<br />
the regulation that the Connétable of a country Parish must reside in<br />
their own Parish and a former incumbent of St Saviour dwelt just over<br />
the border - nothing that a slight shift of land could not accommodate<br />
the ruling!<br />
Returning to the main<br />
boundary this runs through<br />
the fields to the right of <strong>La</strong><br />
Rue de Dielament until it<br />
reaches <strong>La</strong> Rue de la<br />
Guilleaumerie which it<br />
crosses at its junction with<br />
<strong>La</strong> Rue du Pont and heads<br />
diagonally across the field to<br />
14<br />
15<br />
exit onto <strong>La</strong> Rue de la<br />
Boucterie directly opposite<br />
<strong>La</strong> Commune where an<br />
attractive and ornate parish<br />
boundary marker can be<br />
seen (photo 9). Below it<br />
and to the left a faded but<br />
legible stone with P.L.M (Le<br />
Maistre?) and M.L.S. (Le<br />
Sueur?) engraved into the<br />
granite is set into the wall<br />
(photo 10).<br />
The boundary then<br />
continues down the right hand side of the steeply inclined <strong>La</strong><br />
Commune to a place just short of the junction with <strong>La</strong> Rue de la<br />
Roulerie where the stream which feeds Grands Vaux Reservoir<br />
crosses and marks the actual boundary (photo 11).<br />
This stream meanders towards the reservoir following a route<br />
parallel to Mont de la Rosiere and exits through a wooded area to the<br />
rear of the property known as Paul Mill (photo 12 looking north /<br />
photo 13 looking south). The boundary technically runs along the<br />
centre of the reservoir and exits at the dam at the lower<br />
end (photo 14) to follow the culvert which flows under<br />
Grands Vaux school grounds and exits along the school<br />
wall (photo 15) to cross Les Grands Vaux. The future<br />
article in the series will follow the boundary as it weaves<br />
its way through the urban conurbation of the former<br />
Nicholson Park towards Town Mills.

<strong>La</strong> Clioche Cratchie<br />
Par Tony Scott Warren<br />
As-tu la tête souos l'aile?<br />
Have you got your head under your wing? (Are you ill?)<br />
Since the start of the so-called<br />
<strong>Spring</strong> Term as I've travelled<br />
around our schools, I've noticed<br />
that there seem to be more<br />
maladies [illnesses] around this<br />
year than last. It's not just that les<br />
mousses sont afflyigis [the children<br />
are suffering] but there are lots of<br />
sick teachers too. Some headteachers<br />
have been tearing their<br />
hair out to keep classes running!<br />
Of course it's quite normal to<br />
have eune suée d'fraid [a cold] at<br />
this time of year, but there's an<br />
awful lot of it about. Students have<br />
been blianc l'tou des dginnes<br />
[green around the gills – though in<br />
Jèrriais it's white rather than<br />
green] when they are in the<br />
classroom – not just from<br />
forgetting homework...The girls in<br />
one class found it hilarious that<br />
when you sneeze in Jèrriais, you<br />
don't go “Atchoo!” but<br />
“Ètcheunme!” If someone sneezes,<br />
you should say “Qué l'Bouôn<br />
Dgieu vouos bénisse!” [May the<br />
Good Lord bless you!].<br />
<strong>La</strong>ter in the year, l'êtèrnueûthie [sneezing] may be a sign of la<br />
maladie du fain [hay fever], but in winter it is more likely to be due to<br />
eune ramée d'fraid [a heavy cold] or la grippe [influenza]. While we<br />
might take des boulets [pills] to make us feel better, if you had the<br />
same problem a century ago, the recommended cure was du sitho<br />
d'colînmachon [snail syrup] – it makes me<br />
feel better just to know that I'm not going to<br />
have to take it nowadays!<br />
However it was usually accompanied by du<br />
nièr dginne – gin with blackcurrants.<br />
Some of the other “cures” in the old days<br />
are enough to turn you pale. If you had a<br />
deep cut, it was said that there was nothing<br />
better to seal it than la bra – pitch made from<br />
pine resin. However while the blood was<br />
flowing, you were meant to staunch it with d's<br />
ithangnies [spiders' webs] or un tchias dé<br />
p'tun [a wad of chewing-tobacco].<br />
People had to be able to recognise healing<br />
plants in the days before doctors were<br />
available to all. Vervain – la vèrveine could be<br />
used in plasters to help speed a cure but was<br />
also good to cachi les chorchiers [drive away<br />
witches] or pouor env'yer un sort [to send a<br />
spell]; d's ortchies [nettles] were used both in<br />
infusions to cure bad blood, and as something<br />
to be beaten with as a cure for back-ache –<br />
ouch!<br />
Finally, if you thought you had a cold<br />
coming on, before going to bed you had to<br />

A section for our<br />
younger readers<br />
How did you get on with your “bird spotting” trip in<br />
Queen’s Valley? If you did not see many different types<br />
of birds it is worth going again. I went on the Sunday<br />
after the last magazine was delivered and only saw 16<br />
different types. I went again at the end of February<br />
and saw over 50, the best one being a<br />
Great Spotted Woodpecker.<br />
This issue we are going to find out a few things about<br />
ROAD SAFETY. Even though the dark evenings are<br />
disappearing there are still a lot of cars and lorries on<br />
our roads.<br />
Have a look at the picture on page 3 and repeated<br />
on this page of the children from St Saviour’s School<br />
on a visit to our Parish Church. You will see that they<br />
are all wearing yellow vests, this is to make them easily<br />
seen as they walk down to the church from school and<br />
cross over the busy road by the Parish Hall. Now look<br />
at this picture here - it is the same group in the church<br />
but when the photograph was taken the flash on the<br />
camera was used. This is how a car driver clearly sees you in your<br />
reflective vest when lit up in their headlights at night or in dull<br />
and foggy weather.<br />
It shows you how good it is to wear the yellow reflective<br />
stripes vest and it can prevent an injury to you.<br />
And remember that when walking along the footpath do not<br />
walk near the kerb, you may trip and fall into the road. If you are<br />
walking with an adult or a friend it is better to stay in single file<br />
and NEVER step off the footpath into the road to pass somebody.<br />
When you want to cross a road if there is a lollipop stick person to<br />
help always cross with their help. If you are using a pelican crossing,<br />
the one with the button to press and the Red and Green man signs<br />
always remember that you must not cross straight after you have<br />
pressed the button but must wait for the red man to turn green.<br />
When the green man shows do not start to cross until you are sure<br />
that all the cars and lorries have stopped and be careful in case a<br />
cyclist suddenly comes from behind a stopped car As soon as the<br />
green man starts to flash on and off you MUST NOT start to crossthis<br />
means that the cars are about to start to move.<br />
Try not to walk along a road where there is not a proper<br />
footpath. If you have to go down a road like this always walk on<br />
the right hand side so that you are facing towards the traffic<br />
that is coming towards you. The only time that you should walk<br />
with the traffic behind you is when there is a sharp bend in the road and<br />
you cannot see the cars coming- when this happens cross over and then<br />
back again once you have cleared the bend.<br />
Parents, we have a Road Safety Officer in Jersey and he can be<br />
contacted at Police Headquarters if you have any concerns or wish<br />
advice on a road safety matter. (612222)<br />

and the green man means safe to cross

After our rest over the Christmas Period it was straight back to work in early January. Our<br />
first mission for <strong>2013</strong> was to have a huge tidy up which involved our helpers sifting<br />
through 14 years of storage. We are pleased to report that we now have a lovely tidy shed<br />
with a massive working area and importantly it is a lot safer for us all to move around.<br />
We are now straight back into the fundraising<br />
with our fortnightly bingos at <strong>Spring</strong>field<br />
commencing on the 9th January and our<br />
monthly car washes on the first Saturday of<br />
every month, next one 6th April, at the Parish<br />
Depot. We are all looking forward to working<br />
with the new Miss St Saviour, Enya Ferey<br />
during this coming year. We chose our float<br />
themes in February; the Senior float designed<br />
by Jennie Gorvel is based on an Arabian<br />
theme. The junior float is designed jointly by<br />
Jenna Buesnel and Nicolé Drieu and based<br />
on the children’s classic, The Magic Roundabout. Designs can be<br />
viewed in the shed on Saturday mornings.<br />
We urgently require someone with welding skills-if you can assist<br />
please contact our Chairperson, Anne Le Brun on 865521. In March<br />
we held our first ever fashion show where clothing by My Way, Ellis<br />
and Ahmie were shown. The<br />
event, sponsored by Easenmyne<br />
was held at Le Quesnes<br />
Nurseries and Garden centre who<br />
we thank for their continuing<br />
support. Keep an eye out for our<br />
Quiz Nights held at the Parish<br />
Hall.<br />
Finally, just to let you all know<br />
that we continue to meet on a<br />
Saturday morning at the Parish<br />
Depot where we can never have<br />
enough helpers, the float being the largest community event for our<br />
Parish. If you wish to become involved please contact the Parish Hall<br />
on 735864. The Association wishes to thank this year’s main<br />
sponsors, Freelance Motor Group, Jersey Post and the Parish of St<br />
Saviour - we couldn’t do it without them.<br />

Peter Hanning<br />
sailing across the Atlantic<br />
Underneath:<br />
The Lord Nelson<br />
Below:<br />
Peter on board ship<br />
Peter Hanning is no ordinary sailor. Having spent many happy hours upon the local<br />
briny, he suddenly found himself with the opportunity of a lifetime – to sail across the<br />
Atlantic on board the Lord Nelson, a fabulous square rigger which belongs to The<br />
Jubilee Sailing Trust and offers sailing trips to able-bodied and disabled people.<br />
His trip was part of the Jubilee Sailing Trust<br />
Norton Rose Sail The World Challenge, a<br />
two-year voyage around the world to<br />
celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. Peter had<br />
always wanted to sail across the Atlantic,<br />
little knowing that he would be 60 plus<br />
before realising his dream!<br />
In October 2012, Peter travelled to<br />
Southampton where he met fellow volunteer<br />
crew members and the permanent ship’s<br />
company. He holds so many happy<br />
memories of that trip it is difficult to know<br />
where to start.<br />
The ship sailed out of Southampton on<br />
21st October 2012 –Trafalgar Day. She<br />
headed south and across the Bay of Biscay<br />
arriving in the Canaries two weeks later.<br />
“There was quite a stiff breeze during that<br />
part of the trip and some stimulating sailing,”<br />
he said.<br />
They stayed for a week in <strong>La</strong>s Palmas<br />
before setting off across the Atlantic to the<br />
UNESCO World Heritage islands of<br />
Fernando de Noronha, off Recife, in northern<br />
Brazil.<br />
The SE trade winds were perfect sailing weather for crossing the<br />
Atlantic: “We enjoyed the best sailing conditions I have experienced,<br />
and certainly better than expected,” he said.<br />
As they sailed towards the Equator, the Captain organised a<br />
sweepstake competition to work out the time the ship would cross<br />
the equator (Peter won coming within 5 minutes, although another<br />
crew member was also very close. CB) and most of the crew had to<br />
go through the initiation ceremony of ‘crossing the line’ according to<br />
Neptune’s Court.<br />
There were more than 40 people on board; the Captain was a<br />
lady called Barbara Campbell, and the First Mate was a 6’ 4”<br />
Geordie. The Cook was a professional chef who had worked on the<br />
QE2.<br />
“He provided wonderful food whatever the weather and always<br />
baked a cake for special occasions like birthdays and special<br />
celebrations, such as St Andrew’s Day,” said Peter.<br />
Among the volunteer crew members there were two disabled<br />
Royal Marines who had both been to Jersey with Holidays for<br />
Heroes. Each disabled person had a buddy to assist and help them;<br />
Peter’s buddy, Roger, was chief instructor at an outdoor adventure<br />
centre.<br />
The Captain organised instruction for the crew teaching them the<br />
rudiments of using a sextant and how to line up against the sun and<br />
horizon. The crew were assigned to watches and mess duties i.e.<br />
four watches of 6 to 7 people who were on watch for four hours in<br />
turn. When not on watch, people were catching up on sleep, or<br />
doing their mess duties, washing, cleaning, etc.<br />
Plenty of marine life was seen actively chasing the ship, or just<br />
keeping company. “There were minke whales, humpbacked whales,<br />
dolphins, flying fish; and plenty of birdlife too, such as boobies, and<br />
skuas,” he said.<br />
The Lord Nelson anchored overnight at the biggest coral reef in<br />
the South Atlantic, an archipelago and designated Ramsar site called<br />
Parque Nacional Marinho dos Abrolhos, which lies 450 miles north<br />
of Rio.<br />
Special permission is needed before anyone is allowed to land on<br />
any one of the five islands. The Brazilian Navy maintain the area<br />
and keep it clean and free from human marauders as it is home to<br />
some of the richest range of marine life in the South Atlantic.<br />
As they were approaching Rio de Janeiro a thick fog developed,<br />
reducing visibility to a few feet, but the next day brought a return to<br />
hot sunshine and the warm welcome of the Brazilian people,<br />
especially the disabled Samba dance team who were such a feature<br />
of the closing ceremony of the London Paralympics of 2012.<br />
Sea voyages on the Lord Nelson, a frequent visitor to Jersey, are<br />
open to able-bodied and disabled people and can offer an<br />
unforgettable experience whether for as little as a weekend, or, as in<br />
Peter’s case, a two-month sea voyage.<br />

audience were entertained with a game of bingo and a prize draw.<br />
On the judges return, the Chairperson of St Saviour’s Battle of<br />
Flowers Association Anne Le Brun, gave a short speech thanking all<br />
of those involved with the evening, the hotel and those attending for<br />
their support. The retiring Miss St Saviour 2012, Danielle Volante,<br />

Petanque<br />
in St Saviour<br />
The group “St Sauveur Petanque”<br />
was started over a year ago and now<br />
has fourteen regular players.<br />
<strong>Spring</strong><strong>2013</strong> St Saviour Parish Magazine p29<br />
We were invited to take part in the Inter<br />
Parish competitions and are now competing<br />
with eight other parishes in the winter league.<br />
We believe several other parishes are<br />
currently forming groups to join the league<br />
which will take place during the summer<br />
months.<br />
We do not have a home terrain at present,<br />
so we are currently ‘borrowing’ a terrain outside the pavilion in<br />
Coronation (Millbrook) Park, until we can obtain our own<br />
Parish terrain. Parish officials are currently looking into the<br />
possibility of providing a ‘home’ terrain for us.<br />
Easter Message<br />
for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Cloche</strong><br />
Soon the church bells will be ringing for<br />
Easter. There is nothing as moving as<br />
reciting the Easter Anthems at the<br />
beginning of the early service on Easter<br />
day. Having said this, I suspect that there<br />
was something very exciting about the<br />
tradition in Radnorshire on the Welsh<br />
border of climbing the nearest mountain<br />
at daybreak on Easter morning to see the<br />
sun's rays dancing in joy at the<br />
Resurrection. This would be done by<br />
crowds of people.<br />
That Welsh custom is a reminder to us in our very<br />
individualistic culture that Christian belief is a<br />
shared thing. Yes, our individual faith matters.<br />
However, it is greatly enriched by being<br />
understood and experienced as part of the<br />
corporate faith and belief of our local Christian<br />
community and of the worldwide Church. This, I<br />
think, is one of the reasons why modern creeds<br />
begin with the words "We believe" rather than "I<br />
believe." There is also the advantage that at major<br />
festivals people, who for one reason or another<br />
have lapsed from church attendance, can feel<br />
free to try leaning a little on the faith of others.<br />
Wishing you all a joyful Easter,<br />
Anthony Swindell, Rector.<br />
We are a very sociable group who often follow the mornings play with lunch<br />
in various restaurants.<br />
If you are interested in playing or need more information you can contact<br />
Gill Blampied on 626166 or email pgblampied@gmail.com.<br />
St Saviour business<br />
expands<br />
Opening soon in the Parish - hopefully in time for Easter - will be<br />
the biggest pet store in the Channel Islands. The Pet Cabin have had<br />
an outlet at Le Quesne’s Garden Centre and Café for over five years,<br />
and after some six years’ planning, a new 9,000 square feet retail<br />
outlet is nearly ready to open its doors.<br />
Popular pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas and rabbits will be on<br />
sale as well as everything the caring pet owner might require. Director<br />
Chris Le Saint said: "It has taken a lot of work but we are all very excited<br />
that the end is nearly here and we will be open for business, all being<br />
well, around Easter."<br />
