Winter2014 p3 Welcome to L’Amarrage

From theEditor Autumn is the season for remembering. Our cover picture of wild poppies in a Pontac field acts as symbol of the special commemoration this year of the sacrifices of those who fell in the First World War and subsequent conflicts.

During the year, L’Amarrage has had much to reflect in its pages of the life of our Parish too and what to hope for the future. We’ve faced and survived the wrath of In this edition: nature against out coastline, attempted to hold at bay the continued urbanisation of our countryside, celebrated P4 yet another spectacular entry in the annual Battle of Election Flowers parade, witnessed the tireless generosity of our make-over local voluntary groups and prepared ourselves for the prospect of a political shake up at our ‘famous’ General Election. P18 Well the status quo proved a hard rock to shift. The High profile Island’s political map hasn’t changed, though a couple of significant new faces have emerged along with a host of leisure familiar ones. In our Parish, we welcomed back our Connétable – though he never actually departed, and P21 when the ballot boxed were emptied, a new Deputy In the can joined the team. In the case of L’Amarrage, the most significant thing has been how subjects raised in previous editions have prompted replies and memories which we’re pleased to P follow up and print. 29 We’re about to enter the season of goodwill and Keeping the merrymaking.

Below: The Connétable accepting the popular choice of a further Election2014 term of office After so many attempts at reform and a referendum on the issue, the constituency map of the Island on Election Day, 15 October could have been radically different and candidates reshuffled. Well, it didn’t exactly happen quite like that. True, for the first time, voters had the chance to cast their ballots for all States’ Members on one day. But the ‘General Election’ cast-list had an unmistakably familiar face and any hope of revolutionary reform had slipped a gear after vox populi was brushed aside by ‘them indoors’ and institutional compromise reaffirmed.

Polling on 15 October was made a whole lot simpler for St Clement voters when at Back in the nominations meeting for Connétable and Deputies on 17 September, the current ‘Father of the Parish’ was re-elected unopposed for a further three years. In proposing Len Norman, Maureen Hamel praised his record for uniting the Parish and introducing business such innovations as the Community Support Group, the Parish Magazine, Parish in Bloom and Petanque while keeping the Parish Rates low. She commended the longest serving States Member as someone who ‘loves the people, the Parish and the job’. All together - for now Peace, harmony and smiles among the candidates for Deputy on nomination night. Standing for re-election were Susie Pinel and Gerard Baudains, with newcomers Darius Pearce and Simon Bree.

They met again on the platform on 30 September, to submit their job applications to a packed hall of Parishioners. It was a night to drill down views on property tax, immigration, centralisation, urban development, same-sex marriage and policing errant dogs on Green Island Beach. We had promises of personal input into providing a green-field recreation site, regular constituents’ surgeries, a young peoples’ parliament and a shower of propositions to frustrate the loss of parochial influence. All candidates stood firmly behind the retention of Connétables in the States Assembly. In between times, a platform of would-be Senators came to town bearing their manifestos. The resignation of Senator Frances Le Gresley, meant that there were no candidates from St Clement in the race this time. But as nineteen into eight won’t go, they all squeezed onto the stage on 23 September to deliver their campaign speeches and take a small selection of predictable questions, aware that this time, unsuccessful candidates couldn’t just subsequently stand in another category.

Right: Smiling Election Day… through the rain …dawned dull, and soon became very wet. Nevertheless the feeling on the doorstep was that turnout was brisk. Across the Island, 2,400 voters had made sure their preference would be counted by casting their ballots in advance. When the boxes were emptied, it emerged that 38% of the electorate had been through the doors. And when the boxes were emptied, topping the poll was Susie Pinel 1,541, second was Simon Bree with 1,364, third came Gerard Baudains with 1,005 and finally Darius Pearce with 403. Voters also voted in favour of Parish Constables as bona fides States Members. STCLEMMAIN-WINTER-2014-2_Governance style ideas 10/11/2014 13:59 Page 5

From the Connétable

First, I should like to thank very sincerely Parishioners for re-electing me as your Connétable for another term. It is a great honour, as well as a pleasure and privilege, to serve in this capacity and I will do my very best to repay the confidence the Parish has shown in me.

In the Deputies election in our Parish Susie Pinel once again topped the poll and Simon Brée won his seat in the States after narrowly missing out three years ago. Congratulations to both of our Deputies and I am sure they will have a very busy, effective and enjoyable term as our representatives. I should also like to pay tribute to outgoing Deputy, Gerard Baudains, who has served us for a total of 12 years in a conscientious and effective way. His dry sense of humour and persistent asking of questions in the States will be missed. And well done to all of the candidates, Senators and Deputies, for removing all of their posters in a most expeditious manner! Two major elections with a large number of candidates in each, plus the referendum on the same day, provided a significant challenge to our Parish Secretary and the staff at the Parish Hall and it is a tribute to their efficiency and organisational skills that everything went off virtually without a hitch. And this despite a significant increase in the turnout this year. Vingtenier Tessa Daniel led the organisation of the St Clement Honorary Police who ensured that traffic flowed smoothly and parking was most effectively organised. Finally, our thanks to the dozens of volunteers who spent the day, night and even some of the early hours of the morning issuing ballot papers, assisting voters and finally counting the votes. A great effort by all and much appreciated. As we approach the festive season - already! - I look forward to meeting many of our senior citizens at the now traditional lunch at the Hotel Ambassadeur and welcoming Father Christmas at the Parish Hall!! So, from all at the Parish Hall, may I wish Parishioners and their families a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year. Best wishes Len STCLEMMAIN-WINTER-2014-2_Governance style ideas 10/11/2014 13:59 Page 6

Left: The dogged carousel Below: Below: Fiddle & Strum – The newly occupied homes singers in the rain Singing in at Le Petit Anquetil the rain In what was the cruellest meteorological backlash in an otherwise barmy summer, the heavens opened over the Samarès Manor Country Fair on August Bank Holiday Monday – only to end the day with late evening sunshine just at the time visitors would be going home. It’s normally one of the most eagerly awaited events of late summer with displays of threshing, cider-making stalls and family entertainment, in the picturesque manor grounds. But, for once, it was not to be – despite the dogged persistence of a carousel, an appropriately functional historic water pump and the efforts of Fiddle & Strum, alias Gary Pallot and Jonathan Rennard, to raise spirits in the herb garden café. To add insult to injury, after rescheduling the threshing for the following Saturday, down again came the mist and raindrops enough to ensure the event was called off. Eventually, the rain gods relented and the 1937 machine set up in the Manor courtyard churned through 1,000 bundles of corn under the watchful supervision of Seigneur Vincent Obbard.

Winter2014 p17 Brothers in arms In March this year, author Ian McGill who lives in Salisbury, visited Jersey for the unveiling of a commemoration of his uncle Malcolm at Victoria College. Later that day, he came to the Parish Hall to view the dedication on the war memorial to his uncle, killed in action in World War II. There he met Martyn Dryden, who agreed to review his book Four Brothers in Arms for L’Amarrage.

Do we choose books or do they choose us? The McGill family had Below: lived for a time in St Clement and Malcolm, along with his three Author Ian McGill brothers Dick, Gerry and Nigel, had all gone to Victoria College in the 1920s. The brothers all joined the armed forces and saw action in World War II but Malcolm did not survive: he was killed in action in Imphal in India on 26 June 1944, so as a Parishioner and fellow OV, I could hardly refuse the invitation. The book, which Ian published in 2011, consists of family letters mixed together with comments and explanations provided by Ian. It is a first-hand account of a family caught up in a world conflict, the like of which most of us living today can hardly imagine. The McGills are a remarkable family - they can trace their record of military service back nearly 200 years over six generations. Between them, Malcolm, Dick, Gerry and Nigel saw action in Burma, Italy and India. They witnessed the partition of India and the end of colonial rule in Rhodesia. Their mother Emily, a formidable yet kindly matriarch, was stranded in Jersey throughout the Occupation. Her letters, quoted at length, along with those of her husband Harry (who died in July 1940), leave the reader in no doubt where her children’s extraordinary fortitude, resilience and stoicism came from. All four brothers witnessed the utter brutality, degradation and inhumanity of war at first hand - as the book unfolds it becomes Put your skates on this winter! clear that they were in the very thick of it.

He played a significant part in the bloody advance of the Eighth Army up the east coast of Italy in 1945. He was right in the middle of the violence caused by the religious and cultural fear and hatred in the Punjab and Bengal that led to the partition of India in 1947. I find it almost impossible to understand how such events could not permanently traumatise someone, particularly from the 5th December - 11th January perspective of our culture where becoming a victim, and being treated as such, seems to be increasingly commonplace.

For a construction so prominent, its recent history has been surrounded by neglect and missed opportunities.

As you will discover, he has an interest to declare.

I remember clearly that factory roof and the huge brick chimney. Steeplejacks occasionally visited the Island to carry out repairs. It remained in place till they returned to demolish it in the 1950s. The land is now occupied by the new development of houses known as Clos des Charrière, but it was once a thriving huge oven was fired by faggots of brushwood.

This after the garages and outhouses were removed, it was found that there was enough room for the new track to be laid at the side of the house. So, far from knocking it down, the building was occupied by members of Organisation Todt – until the Allies invaded France and they were recalled to strengthen defences elsewhere. After the war, when workmen were removing the concrete covering from around the tracks which crossed Plat Douet Road, a sudden subsidence in one area revealed old sleepers from the previous Jersey eastern Railway buried beneath the German line, which showed how closely the German engineers had followed the original track. During 1954, ‘Chellow Dene’ was bought by my father Mr H.H. Blampied and remained in the family until the 1990s. It was recently demolished to make way for the Clos des Charriere development.

Summer2013 StWinter2014 Clément Parishp29 Magazine p15 In the unlikely event You can’t live in an Island parish like ours with its exposed coastline, and not be very aware of our vulnerability to unexpected emergencies. Alan Le Breton has been considering how we are prepared to meet the challenges.

The old adage of ‘Storms in the Channel – Mainland cut off!’ is wearing somewhat thin given the recent unprecedented upheavals in weather patterns. Last year began as it ended with storms which led to the cancellation of ferries bringing vital supplies to the Island. In between, came the snow - heaps of it - disrupting transport and posing hardship for those living alone. After which, we experienced the hottest summer in decades with health warnings about over-exposure to the sun and vulnerable folk left gasping in their homes. No sooner had we forgotten about all that, it started all over again, and this year saw parts of the coast suffer an unprecedented onslaught which took months to repair. Emergencies are by their very nature unexpected and come in all shapes and sizes. Apart from the weather, there’s the ever-lurking threat of epidemics affecting humans and animals – the mere mention of foot and mouth disease sends shivers through our farming community. Then there are headline grabbing incidents, such as the fire at Gas Place, which was – mercifully – contained. First, let me say that if there were a major incident, the professional emergency services would quickly take control – that’s their job. But it is just as important to consider the aftermath, or ‘recovery period ‘- particularly if, in the case of a major fire, accident, flood or off-shore oil spill, we’d need to accommodate Parishioners who might have been forced to leave their homes or become separated from families. We might also face the prospect of organising facilities during a prolonged period of extreme weather when essential food and energy supplies were scarce, or PITCHER & LE QUESNE LTD preparing for a mass immunisation programme – as nearly happened back in 2009 (Inc G E Croad) during the scare over Swine Flu. It was that particular prospect which prompted parishes to review the risks to inhabitants and to put in place contingency measures to minimise them. Here in St FUNERAL DIRECTORS Clement, the major initiative was the formation of the Community Support Group. A Jersey Company serving our Island community for over 100 years It quickly became the by-word for organised response to local emergencies and has been performing a vital support role in the community ever since. Most recently, it At a time of bereavement you need care, sensitivity and professionalism.When you call us, swung into action when residents were evacuated from premises in Les Marais quiet words and guidance from our experienced staff are here to help you. during an incident involving armed police.

Furthermore, SPECIALISTS IN WORLDWIDE REPATRIATION AND PREARRANGED FUNERAL PLANS. from the offers of help received at the Parish Hall during that unexpected blizzard and the recent coastal battering, we know there is a wealth of willing support in this Parish. Parish Halls – ours included - hold helpful advice on how to respond to civil emergencies on easy-to-read leaflets in several languages. Nevertheless, we can’t be complacent, and are keen to know of Parishioners who have special caring, organisational and practical skills that could be called upon. Of course, in case of emergency, the first number to dial is 999. But here’s a couple of general tips to bear in mind – at any time of the year. Don’t let the fridge get totally empty, always keep a couple of bottles of drinking water handy and ensure medicines are up to date - including winter flu jabs. Check the batteries Funeral Director Funeral Director Funeral Director regularly on your home smoke and CO alarms, and - given the history of problems Paul Battrick MBE Andy Errington-Rennell Gareth John with the electricity cable links with France – a couple of torches, some extra batteries or candles might be a good idea too.

Far from simply a chic item snapped up by tourists, Jerseys and Guernseys have played a vital role in keeping those who do their business in great waters, both identified and protected from the cold. Now the Grève d’Azette WI have gone one step further in thermal insulation.

So, fittingly, on a dark blustery evening at the beginning of November, extremely grateful of extra warm clothing on the passage to the Island. Eileen Morris and Margaret Du Feu of Grève D’Azette WI presented Brian (Though the colourful items will probably have a life span of merely nine Penanula from the local branch of the Mission to Seafarers with an weeks, they’ll certainly be much appreciated by those toiling in the exposed overflowing Christmas bonus of 82 hand-knitted hats for distribution to environment of their work at sea.) seamen and women who ply our temperamental waters, serving the Below: Fruits of their needles Islands vital lifeline. The idea came about after members had listened to a talk back in stormy February by Brian and Rev. Lawrence Turner about the hardships endured by the 1.3 million seamen engaged in merchant shipping. They learned of the work of the Mission operating in some 70 countries providing a refuge for seamen separated from families and often in need of pastoral advice, justice and seeking refuge from harsh weather and working conditions. These days, crews are recruited from further afield – many from the Philippines, Eastern Europe and can be separated from home and culture for months at a time. The hats – and the odd scarf - will be presented to crews arriving in the port of St Helier, who in the past have been

Churchnews From Canon David Shaw Natural churchyard

It has been in development for many years - and will be opened towards the end of 2014. Below: The aim is to have an area of churchyard which is more natural and peaceful, offering a Gary Tye flanked by the Rector, place to sit and contemplate and look out to the sea. It is certainly not a wilderness but Churchwarden, Evelyn Tucker and Sexton, there would be burials but no markers - we would have precise measurements of location. Mike Jehan The central part is meadow that has been planted with a dozen varieties of grasses and patches of wild flowers. Last year it was mown by machine and this year by a flock of sheep. Around the edge there will be a mown path. In the spring the ’wibbly wobbly’ daffodil path with its 20,000-plus flowers will be in bloom. The trees around the edge were planted in year 2000. Also around the boundary, a new double planted local hedge, sponsored by Environment, has been planted including half a dozen Jersey varieties of cider apple trees from Samarès Manor grafted by Vincent Obbard. There are two sliced tree benches to sit on and soon a seating area will be created under the old oak tree with a view across to the sea and Icho tower. Ashes, loose or in caskets will be put in the banks which will also be in bloom in the spring. On Monday 29 September, Gary Tye, the Manager of De Gruchy’s Funeral Care, presented us with £2,000 from the Co-Operative Environment Fund. He commended this, the Island’s first such natural churchyard, for being not only environmentally friendly, but set in a beautiful location and with wonderful views, providing bereaved families with an alternative option for the final resting place for their loved ones. The money from the award Churchnotice board will be spent on more bulbs, flowering shrubs, bat and bird boxes and bird St Clement Parish Church www.stclementschurch.org.je feeders and food. Social Security has also granted us a six month ‘back to work’ placement at no cost to the churchyard.
