Summer 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine p9 DEPUTY JESS PERCHARD Looking backwards to an Easter egg hunt and forward to the Battle of Flowers… Dear Parishioners, Thank you to those members of my District who came along to the Easter coffee morning and egg hunt. I was delighted to see so many of you there with your families, partners and children. Over 50 people came to enjoy the cake and tea, and arts and crafts. Many children and parents threw themselves into the task of making paper baskets for the egg hunt, and colouring in Easter decorations. I would like to take a moment to thank those friends, family members and fellow Deputy Pamplin, who supported me in making all the cakes and biscuits; the Connétable for the teas, coffees, venue and all of her support. I am most grateful to His Excellency Sir Stephen and Lady Dalton who also came to support the event; Lady Dalton participated enthusiastically with the Battle of Flowers paper flower-making table, and Sir Stephen spent time speaking with the families who attended...though I was mortified, at one point, to find His Excellency doing the washing up in the kitchen! I must give special mention to my fiancé, Jamie, who spent a good amount of time hiding over 600 Easter eggs in the meadow. Rather remarkably, all but fifte en eggs were found by the children...they really know how to focus the mind when chocolate is involved! It was such a joy to meet so many people from across all the different estates and areas of the District. It is so important that we come to know our neighbours and to mix with a range of people from different backgrounds. By coming together like this, we can develop our sense of belonging and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness in our shared community. This was one of many community socials I hope to organize for the District and the Parish. I am starting to think about the next one, so if you are interested in getting involved in organizing an event, I would be delighted to hear from you. If you Top: have an idea for the type of event you would Deputy Jess Perchard and like to see, or simply want to come along to HE Sir Stephen Dalton at The Easter Egg hunt party help on the day of future events, serving Above middle: teas, baking cakes, running a crafts table, Easter Egg party and leading a dog walk, holding a quiz...please paper flowers for St get in touch!

p12 Summer 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine Discovering ‘The One Hundred’ From the Rev Peter Dyson “Please could you see if Capt. William Deane is buried in your churchyard?” I thought this was one of the common questions I get asked by children, grand- children and the like, about people who died in the last 50 years or so. I was wrong This question was different: William Deane died in 1858! But he is in the churchyard. He was Paymaster of the 18th Hussars – and was present at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Previously, it was known that another seven or so were buried here, but this innocent question led to more research which has turned into a big project. At least 62 of those buried at St Saviour fought with the Duke of Wellington either in the Peninsular War (1808- 1814) or at Waterloo – the latter is seen as the most significant Battle in Europe of the C19th. What’s more, there are another 38 buried who fought in that long war, firstly against revolutionary France and then Napoleon in the period 1893 – 1815. There are One hundred in all – which is purely a land-based total. It does not include the large number of naval burials – seven at least of which were at the Battle of Trafalgar. The discovery has got a lot of people excited – not only in St Saviour, or even just Jersey, but in the whole UK, as it is believed this is the most number buried in one churchyard. They comprise an extraordinary group: from a drummer boy who joined at the age of 12, to men who ended up as Generals. They even include a Frenchman who fought against his own country and another who fought with Napoleon; from a Spanish civilian who was holed up with the British in the French siege of Cadiz and who then became the Spanish Equivalent of Home Secretary), through to an American major who had fought against the British in the American War of Independence (1778 – 1783) but then found himself in France in the 1790s and fought against the revolutionaries. Research is now under way on the histories of the individual men and their stories which are both fascinating and moving. We are going to be commemorating all this in 2020 sometime after Liberation 75. We hope to have a ‘jamboree’ day – with the 62 names being dedicated on a plaque in church, a reception at Government House, together with a book giving the stories of the 100. We have managed to find the graves of about 70 of them and StSaviour-Q2-2019.qxp_Governance style ideas 17/06/2019 16:02 Page 21

Summer 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine p29 Hornets keep vigilant Look out, look out, they’re out and about - again.

The early spell of warm weather has prompted all manner of wild life to pop their noses out earlier than expected. Most have added a welcome boost to springtime, but the story has a sting in the tail. Among creatures stirring early are the dreaded Asian hornets. Already this year, 10 times as many queens, responsibrle fo producing new colonies have been caught. Local beekeepers and ecologists anticipate the nest count could be as high as 50 during the year. We all know the destruction they can wreak among local pollinators, particularly the bee population, so it is vital they don’t establish a foothold. The public are being urged to keep an eye out for the hornets themselves and the primary nests, which resemble a creamy coloured tennis ball with an entrance hole on the bottom and are most likely to be found in garages, sheds, car-ports or lean-tos.

The States have appointed a well-known naturalist and bee- keeper, Alastair Christie, as co-ordinator in the fight against the pest. So if you do spot an Asian hornet or a nest, don’t disturb it, but contact the Asian Hornet Coordinator on 441633, or email [email protected].

EDEN METHODIST CHURCH

              Eden First, we have to share some very sad news from Eden. The congregation held a meeting recently and reluctantly the decision was made to close our lovely little Chapel at the end of the summer. Our Church            has been a keystone in the lives of so many people “            and the close fellowship felt by the congregation made this a particularly difficult decision but like so        many churches before us the costs and               responsibilities of keeping the property in good order              were regrettably at risk of becoming too great a burden .        In the meantime, we are enjoying our fellowship and worship ” together with our usual activities both in Sunday worship and during the week. We enjoy regular prayer and Bible study

fellowship and continue to meet on the first Monday of the month for coffee at Le Quesne’s Garden C entre to which all are welcome.

Our Knit and Natter group are busy making comfort blankets for Project Linus and we make a monthly delivery of groceries to the St Helier Methodist Food Bank as sadly and worryingly there continues to be considerable need in our lovely island. We celebrated Easter with a ‘Local Arrangement’ essentially an opportunity for members of the congregation to participate in leading Church worship. It was a joyous occasion with the service being led by Anne Le Cornu. Ann Le Boutillier told a poignant story, Hazel Le Boutillier led prayers, Betty Clare Rive, played the organ and accompanied her sister, Jackie de Gruchy’s solo, whilst Terry        McDonald read the lessons. After the service there is always a cup PROUD TO BE JERSEY’S ’S ONLY of tea or coffee and biscuits of course, but at Easter hot cross buns were on offer and we are ever grateful to Fay Huelin who organises FAAMILY OWNED INDEPE ENDENT the weekly refreshments. FUNERAL DIRECTORS ORS Each member of the congregation was asked to place a flower Est. 1928 onto the cross outside the Church - a colourful reminder to any passers-by that ‘Christ is risen - Alleluia’ In the next issue of La Cloche there will be an opportunity to give more details about Eden. In the meantime, we should be delighted to welcome anyone to join our worship on any Sunday at 10:30 a.m., whether curious to see what our chapel is like inside (don’t be put off by the severe exterior appearance, we think the inside is charming) or whether it is to re kindle old memories. Harvest Festival will coincide with our last service. We shall have an Open Door event over the Harvest Festival weekend of Saturday, 31st August and Sunday, 1st September with displays from the past 34 Great Union Road, St.H elier. and as well as highlighting all we have been trying to achieve more ATAT YOUR SERVICE 24 HOURS S A DA AYY recently.

Her career in Zimbabwe included senior managerial and training and Cara Miller development manager positions in Zimbabwe's largest bank as well as in a large agricultural corporation over a period of more than 20 years. It was in these positions that Georgie realized her passion to help people with emotional and mental issues. She then studied for a degree in Theology and Religious Studies with an aim to specialise in Pastoral Care and Counselling. However, after obtaining the degree Georgie still felt inadequate and thus proceeded to obtain a further Diploma in Systemic Family Counselling. Armed with these counselling skills Georgie worked in Zimbabwe's largest hospital for three years as a counsellor, covering a wide spectrum of mental and emotional issues in areas such as bi- polars, substance abuse, rape, HIV/AIDs (pre and post test), antenatal, domestic violence, marriage, cancer, accidents and many others. It was at this stage that Georgie found herself re-locating to Jersey. In Jersey, Georgie decided to add another complementary therapy over and above the Systemic Family Counselling and so obtained yet another diploma in Reflexo logy, which is a treatment that can assist in preventative health care issues among others, including stress reduction and relief, cleansing the body of toxins and impurities, balancing the systems in the body, relaxation, revitalising energy, etc. Georgie visited St Saviour’s Church and met more friends, and so her role developed with Bible study and weekly prayer group. I enjoyed the hour of treatment I received, and I would encourage anyone to contact Georgie Phillips for an appointment on 01534 872187 or Facebook Georgie’s Divine Soles.
