The final business of the evening was to elect a Constables Officer for the Vingtaine of Pigneaux and Grande Longueville. Former Centenier Michael W. Byrne was proposed by G.J. Morris who stated that they both went back a long way in the Parish as Centeniers in the ‘90s and that Mr Byrne was a proactive rather than a reactive officer. The nomination was seconded by Colin Foley and there being no further nominations CO elect Byrne was congratulated and thanked by the Connétable who reiterated his ten years previous experience as an Honorary Officer. The Connétable again stressed the importance of filling the honorary vacancies with particular reference to that of Centenier which could attract a fine to the Parish by the Royal Court if an incumbent was not found. ‘The Parish should be deeply grateful to Colin Foley for returning to offer his services as Centenier after previously serving for 12 years.’ So said the Connétable when at an Electoral Assembly he was proposed by Centenier Terry Gorvel and seconded by Vingtenier Daniel Avrill. He was duly elected to complete the term of office of Centenier Iain Ford. The Assembly showed their appreciation by giving hearty applause and Centenier elect Foley was warned to appear before the Royal Court on 11 May to take the oath of Office. Centenier Foley states his reasons for returning on page 9 of this issue. On 19 May an Electoral Assembly was held to elect a Centenier. Elvio Vieira was proposed by CO Kirsty Philips and seconded by Centenier Colin Foley. Centenier elect Vieira was thanked for offering his services to fill this important post. Following the morning service at St Saviours Parish Church on 25 May a meeting of the Parishioners was convened to accept the Churchwardens accounts for the year and put forward names to the forthcoming Ecclesiastical Assembly to be held on the following Thursday. At that Assembly held at the Parish Hall on the 29th after the reading of the Rector’s report , the Churchwarden’s report and the presentation of the accounts ably undertaken by the Parish Secretary the following were elected to office: Churchwardens Doreen Le Roy and Andrew Ilton and Almoners Priscilla Kent and Valerie Cunliffe. Photographs of other elected officials will follow in the next edition Funeral Care amendment In the last issue of La Cloche we printed an article word verbatim as forwarded to us by a funeral care company in which it was stated that a particular diploma in funeral arranging and administration had been awarded to a member of their staff and he was the first recipient of this in Jersey. It has been brought to our notice that this qualification has also been awarded to staff at Pitcher & Le Quesne Funeral Directors prior to this thus creating in the text we printed a misleading statement. Whilst we do not claim immunity from errors, as stated in our terms and conditions we do apologise, without prejudice for what could be taken as a misleading statement. p6 Summer 2014 St Saviour Parish Magazine

I served the Parish in this Colin capacity, including two brief periods as Chef de Police, until 2010.

They were supported by the four corporate sponsors: EY, Barclays, Ogier and JT. This challenge allowed our students to gain real life experience in running, managing and directing their own business.

The short, but well planned event went without a hitch. Members of our Honorary Police force halted traffic on St Saviour’s Hill to allow the participants led by the Connétable along with a large contingent of teachers, parents and pupils from St Saviour’s School to safely cross the road. The group then made their way along Rue du Sacrement to a position near to the offices of Government House where a group of selected pupils were duly briefed in their forthcoming roles by the ADC Lieutenant Colonel A.J.C. Woodrow. Pipe Major Gregor Allan of the Jersey Scottish Pipe Band, suitably kilted in the newly emblazoned colours of the Jersey Tartan, led them down the slope to the doors of Government House where they were greeted by His Excellency General Sir John McColl and Lady McColl. The strong media attendance ensured that all aspects of this important event for our Parish was captured in its entirety.

In it he looks at how Biblical narratives, such as Adam and Eve, Lot and his family and the Virgin Mary have been re used in literature during the last two hundred years. This shows the impact that the Bible has made upon our culture; for example, Europeans migrating to America thought that their journey was like that of the Israelites crossing to the Promised Land.

Par Tony La Clioche Cratchie Scott Warren Recently l'porteux d'lettres [the postman] delivered a large envelope to me from l'anmîn Geoff containing a number of pages of Jèrriais taken from the 1934 almanac of Les Nouvelles Chroniques - the last of the French-language newspapers to publish in the Island. I used one piece with my evening-class adults, who enjoyed learning the new vocabulary, so I thought that you might like to read it too.

For an appointment please telephone 726104 p22 Summer 2014 St Saviour Parish Magazine St Saviour’s Battle of Flowers Association Work is progressing steadily on both the Junior and Senior Floats for 2014, and the Senior Float has now had the few major changes made to its chassis and engine to fix some faults which developed during and after the summer parade last year, so after a slow start it is now taking shape and looking more as it should do at this stage.

Now that the evenings are lighter and the weather is warming up, the senior helpers are now meeting, every Tuesday evening from 7 - 9pm in addition to Saturday mornings so that work can continue on things that can be prepared in advance like harestailing and beaning (something new we are trying this year). The tour bus with its stiletto shoe on top is now built and in place on the float (Pricilla Queen of the Desert) and the tank has been built and is in position on the junior float with several other vehicles also taking shape for their float too (Whacky Races). We are eagerly awaiting our order of harestails so that they can start being snipped ready to be applied to various items. If anyone can help with the snipping of harestails please feel free to come down to the shed on a Saturday morning or Tuesday evening where a warm welcome will await, along with a comfy chair and a pair of scissors which is all you need to get snipping. Costumes and dancers are being finalised and both floats promise to be very colourful and lively. If you do your recycling, at Rue Des Pres, during any of the times mentioned, do pop your head around the door and see what your Parish volunteers are up to, and you never know, you too may wish to become involved. We always welcome as many helpers as possible. We continue to fundraise, with our monthly car washes and so far we have been extremely lucky with the weather on those days, so fingers crossed this continues for the remaining ones before August, the last one before Battle is on the 5 July, with prices starting from £5 for a car. We also continue to sell books from Le Quesne Nurseries. STOP PRESS Our flowers will be arriving from Wednesday or Thursday the 6/7 of August , so we would be grateful for as many people as possible to help us unpack them and put into the buckets ready for stripping them the following week and our flowering will be starting in the week beginning the 11 August , so again we need lots of help de- heading and gluing the flowers ready for our ladies flowering the float. We also recently held a very pleasant social evening at Jersey Bowl where about 40 of us, young and old, enjoyed a game of bowling and a basket meal, just what we needed before the build up to battle.
