But we have your home to some TLC enjoyed beautiful sunny weather in the Spring months this year, after the extreme deluge of the Autumn and Winter months. Although we have a large collection of copy material for a special Liberation 75 Liberation Thoughts publication, we are only publishing certain pieces in this edition of La Cloche, with the remainder to be published in a later edition. p11 We have managed to put together quite an interesting collection of articles for your enjoyment, particularly since we thought that this edition would be shorter than usual. I hope you will enjoy reading it and find the articles interesting and useful. There is a brief history about Oaklands Manor when the residents celebrated the 25th Occupation Burials Anniversary of the development of Manor as apartments. Beautiful landscaped gardens for the residents to enjoy, with the original folly built by Lady Brooke, still in place. p12 Colin Ireson has written an interesting and intriguing article about the Parish Community Support Group. There was a ‘call to arms’ seeking volunteers to support and help those individual persons and families in need. Not just with shopping, but also with medical prescriptions, and advice in general where and how to get other community services. Often just a chat over the phone is needed. Without our volunteers, vital communications Bells & Old Lace Part 2 would not be possible. Bob Olliver has written an article about the St Saviour’s Twinning Association and the fact that St Saviour has been twinned with Villedieu les Poeles for 35 years! The second part p18 of Hamish Marett-Crosby’s very informative article about Villedieu les Poeles, its history of lace, bell foundry and copper manufacture and industry, is reproduced inside. Our photographer, Steve Wyatt, has also been busy and the cover picture is his creation. Anyone who is keen to write or take photographs of Parish events, can certainly do so, and Twinning Association send in their contributions to the Parish office, or direct to me by email at millercara8@ gmail.com.

What a wonderful place - a lot of you will have seen the photos.

A garden party at Buckingham Palace and trips Sadly, I lost family and friends like so many others and was unable to say goodbye. I had family in hospital and couldn’t visit or stay to Villedieu - it was going to be a fabulous six with them to give support. The last few months have been so hard months. But like everyone else I didn’t plan for for everyone. I called Government House one day spoke to Justin, the virus. So other than the trip to the Falklands who passed me on to Sir Stephen who laughed when I said I was calling to make sure he was still above ground and his family were nothing else happened. ok.

Still they Love got home safely. Sadie & Jackson xx I needed volunteers to help with Parishioners and what a great group turned up to help. Shona took charge for me and she has been a star. Along with her husband Tim and a large number of volunteers they made sure help was given to anyone who needed it and they came up trumps every time. They are still continuing to help. Liberation day was cancelled, but I had a call from a lovely lady called Soraya who said that she and her husband would like to make afternoon tea for the Parishioners who live in our bungalows.

There are some poems by local From the Constable poets to celebrate Liberation and some stories from St Saviour residents who were in Jersey when the Liberation forces arrived on that memorable day, 9th May 1945. It is always enlightening to read and hear of others’ stories from the Occupation and Liberation p4 of Jersey during the 1940s. Life was so very different then, from now, and it is difficult for us to imagine what life was really like for the children and adults living at that time. Giles Bois has submitted a most interesting article when St Saviour had to build a guardhouse on the south coast. The Parish was asked to help Grouville with patrolling Liberation Stories the coast looking for marauders and in 1690 both parishes were ordered to build a guardhouse at La Rocque. This article is a very good read and the historians among you will want to rush off to look for our Guardhouse! Photographs accompany the article to p11 illustrate the building in the early years and then later development. St Saviour Battle of Flowers Association is managing to keep itself alive with a picnic in St Paul’s Football Club playing field.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

Structure of the Island’s secondary education system 18. Conclusion 19. Appendix: 19.1 Evidence gathering Chairman’s Foreword Student suspension has been one of many school-related issues causing growing concern to public and professionals alike in recent years. Not just in terms of increasing numbers but also the more fundamental question as to what mix of social/educational/health problems may underlie this. Indeed, as was witnessed within the process of the Sub-Panel’s investigation, the issues provoked passionate opinions of the justification and effectiveness of suspension. It should thus be stated quite clearly at this point that the Sub-Panel entered into the suspension review with no preconceived ideas or ready-made solutions. For each member of the Sub-Panel, I know that I can add quite without fear of contradiction that this was very much a learning experience where our eventual collective findings and recommendations were based entirely on analysis of the experiences and evidence we were presented with.
