Liberation tree The commemoration of 70 years since Liberation provided the opportunity to mark the occasion with the planting of a sapling at the Parish Hall. A young Ulmus Lobeii – which to the non-green fingered is a disease-resistant variety of Elm, now stands near the newly extended entrance. Fittingly, the Connétable formally set in the new arrival at the end of the day-long Parish celebration on 10 May. STCLEMMAIN-SUMMER-2015_Governance style ideas 05/06/2015 17:27 Page 5

From the Connétable

The major event of the past few weeks has undoubtedly been the Island-wide celebration to mark the 70th anniversary of the Liberation. I was amazed to see so many people at Liberation Square on the morning of May 9 to witness the re-enactment of the raising of the Union flag and the thousands of Islanders and visitors who joined in the mix of remembrance and entertainment to celebrate our ‘national day’ in the presence of our Royal guest, Sophie, Countess of Wessex. A big ‘thank you’ to all who were involved in the organisation, including Julie from the Parish Hall who made sure all from St Clement were where they should be at the right time! The next day, 10 May, the focus turned to the Parish. The sun shone – as it always does on God’s own Parish! Hundreds joined in al fresco entertainment in the grounds of the Parish Hall, while inside we welcomed over 100 Parishioners who were here during the Occupation. We were also honoured to be visited by the Bailiff, Mr William Bailhache, and Mrs Bailhache. Again a tremendous amount of work went into organising these events, so a special thanks to the Parish Social Committee, with particular praise for Sandra Mathew who took the lead and made sure that every thing was just so for this very important anniversary. We now have a new Miss St Clement in Ebony Troy and I wish her well in her special year. Ebony also made the finals of the Miss Battle of Flowers contest – extremely well done. I must also thank the retiring Miss St Clément, Dawn Pace, for being such an excellent ambassador for the Parish. Over the next few months there are many events planned. Please try to keep the evening of Tuesday 7 July free as that is the date of the Parish Assembly to receive the Parish accounts for the past year and to receive and approve the estimates for the current financial year and set the Parish rate. The meeting will start at 7.00pm so I hope to see you there. The first Visite du Branchage takes place on Friday 26 June. The Roads Inspectors will be out and about in thei r Vingtaines leading up to that date to check that all tree branches, hedges and other growth is cut back to a minimum of 12ˈ above the road and 8ˈ over any footpath. Brambles, weeds and all other obstruction must also be removed. Have a great summer.

If you go down to the Manor today, you’ll be sure of a bright hotel and restaurant surprise…because along with a more spacious approach at the main gate, due to the removal of several old and potentially dangerous trees, you will find a spanking new reception kiosk catering both for visitors to the house and grounds and for customers of the garden centre. fine During the winter months, the old timber kiosk and shop was torn down and a new, larger building erected providing greater shop space and giving direc t access to those wishing to purchase plants from the adjacent outside display.

Andium Homes, which now runs the States property service, has revealed images of how Phase 4 might look. This would involve demolishing the existing buildings and building 154 apartments in four blocks. Altogether, the accommodation would include 18 one- bed flats, 43 two-bed apartments and 93 three-bed units, along with associated community facilities, parking, stores and landscaping, for the soc ial rented market.

With the arrival of ‘outdoor weather’, a new breed of armchair pilots have been scanning their pre-flight checks in preparation for launching a squadron of what must have been Christmas 2014’s most wanted big boy’s toy. But prenez-garde, their flight path is not to everyone’s taste.

But despite the benign home TV games console controller, these things occupy public space, and demand the same sort of skill you’d use to drive a car on the road. Legitimate users with a licence to fly are also getting fed up with being labelled reckless because of the increasing number of occasions when irresponsible fliers have invaded privacy or caused actual bodily harm. Most alarming have been reports from airline pilots of dangerous encounters with aircraft. So, the CI Civil Aviation Authority, which oversees our local airspace, has teamed up with the Economics Department to draw up legislation which came into force in 2014, to ensure those piloting their hobby machines should observe the same safety standards as the professionals. For a start, like any model aircraft weighing more than 7kg, they will need air traffic control permission to fly anywhere in the Island's airspace. The operator must maintain direct unaided visual contact; they should not be flown above 400 feet or within two nautical miles of the Airport without written permission from air traffic control.

They were allowed only the minimum of time to gather their belongings before they assembled at the harbour to be transported into occupied Europe for the duration of the war. Patricia Holt was just 12-years-old when she embarked that scary journey. Seventy years later, she returned to the Bad Wurzach Schloss internment camp in Germany with 12 other survivors, including fellow St Clementais, David Peacock, to recall their days in detention and remember their comrades who did not return. Mrs Holt’s daughter, Sarah, accompanied the group and recorded her mother’s recollections of their life so far from home.

Laying the wartime ghosts Below: The former internment camp today Below right: David Peaock talking at the former camp

‘I’ve returned to Bad Wurzach many times in the last few decades. I’m often asked why. Well I don’t hold any ill feeling towards the people of the village, in fact during our time in the camp many villagers went out of their way to help us. The Wehrmacht housed only families in the Schloss as they knew no-one would try to escape, which also meant that the soldiers guarding us were those that couldn’t go to war. I never remember being frightened of them, just a little in awe at times, Below: The wartime internment camp but that was it. ‘I know it must have been a truly awful time for my parents - all the parents. But with my father, you were never frightened. He carried the immense burden of shielding me and my brothers, David and Jimmy, from his fears: From the day we stepped out of our home in Jersey onto a crowded boat wearing as many clothes as we could; the train journey with ten of us in a carriage and the children taking it in turns to sleep in the luggage racks; the climb up the steep hill to Biberach with the frightened faces at the barbed wire; and then onto Bad Wurzach. He steadfastly refused to give in and be a victim. ‘When we arrived at the Schloss, it was an austere building with a grand staircase. But it was filthy and needed a lot of maintenance. My father, Fred McAllister, was a plumber. He offered to look after the boilers which meant he was allowed out of camp to get supplies from a local plumbing firm. This is how we learnt that the villagers were appalled that we were imprisoned. The Fessler family owned the firm, and used to send dad back with food in the bottom of his work- box and stuffed in the pipes. Af ter the Liberation my father couldn't wait until we were back on our feet so that he could go and visit them to truly say thank you. ‘On 28 April 1945, the day of our liberation, many of us were crowded into the very top corner of the Schloss as we heard that tanks were arriving. Everything we had that was white we hung out the windows and waved, frightened they would attack the building. They were mainly French troops and someone who spoke French went to the gates and explained we were prisoners. The gates opened and the troops poured in. It was incredibly exciting. Although we had been liberated we obviously still had no idea what was happening back home. We were in a state of limbo until we heard about VE day and then about the liberation of the Channel Islands. We had to remain at the camp as we had nowhere else to go. But we did spend a lot of time out in the village. ‘On this latest trip to celebrate the 70th anniversary of liberation we were greeted by Jersey flags waving from the airport roof as our plane touched down, a band playing as schoolchildren waved flags when we stepped out of the Schloss, to a warmth of welcome from the German people that my father must have felt 70 odd years ago when, as a German prisoner, he first knocked on the door of a little plumbing firm in the village of Bad Wurzach.’ Left: The commemorative carving, ‘The Uprooted’ by Robert Koenig which now stands in the castle grounds STCLEMMAIN-SUMMER-2015_Governance style ideas 05/06/2015 17:31 Page 20

Many Islanders, we know, kept precious diaries – despite the risks. One such was Mrs Kathleen Le Cornu, the mother of CST founder, Chris. When war was declared, her husband, Ralph, a former serving officer, re-enlisted, and though she intended to follow to England, circumstances prevented her. So she remained with family members – and pet spaniel Cora – in their house on the coast road near Le Hocq. Right: Another The following excerpts chronicle how life becomes progressively difficult. gun in an ex- French tank turret They begin in 1941, a year after the invasion, until mid-1942, when, sited along the coast road with the increasing number of house searches, she felt recording information might hazard the safety of the family.

Despitesome gloomy weather predictions, the sun shone brightly on 10 May for the Parish celebrations of 70 years of Liberation. Hundreds of Parishioners arrived to sample the attractions in the grounds of the Parish Hall. The day was organised by our front cover ‘Belles’ of the Parish Social Committee. There were stalls and games, singing, dancing magic shows, face-painting and bouncy castles for the children who also had the chance to crawl - in an orderly fashion – over the Honorary Police vehicles. With mouth-watering crepes, Jersey wonders and a barbecue on hand, the food and drink tents proved so popular that they had to restock. The Bailiff arrived in time to join the fun in the sun and then ventured inside the Parish Hall to share a table with some one hundred or so residents who’d either lived through the Occupation or served in the forces, for a commemoration of memories, music, a brain-teasing quiz set by your esteemed editor and a celebration cream tea. During a short address, he reminded Parishioners that he too was a native of ‘Gods own Parish’! Each guest left with a commemorative mug bearing Winston Churchill’s famous mention of ‘our dear’ Channel Islands liberated – a collector’s item one day.

Judging fell into two categories: overall weight and most tubers. Though our Connétable was pipped at the post, St Clement contestant, Gwyne Garfield-Bennett, representing Bailiwick Express, pulled off a hat-trick of wins in the media section, while from the 31 Island schools taking part, St Christopher’s School took the award for the greatest weight, with Samarès worthy runners - up in number of tubers. Quite of the blue, two visitors from Norway appeared at the Parish Hall, having heard about the competition through local media.

Churchnews From Canon David Shaw Mothers’ daffs Just before Mothering Sunday, Canon Shaw led a party of ‘Daff raiders’ across St Clement’s churchyard to collect bouquets of daffodils from the 3,000 blooms that had popped up just in time for Mothering Sunday. L’Amarrage reader Loraine Determeyer was on hand to capture a party of pupils from JCG gather their floral harvest during their annual visit to the Parish Church. Camaraderie Sunday 10 saw a special reunion of Occupation survivors at St Nicholas. Having given thanks for their deliverance 70 years before, members of the congregation were treated to a series of memories from local historian, Brian Blampied, who served as a young choir boy during the war and remembered German soldiers sliding in on the back row during services, then disappearing before the ser vices ended. Freddie Gallichan – visiting the Island with his wife Anne - recalled how as a patient at Brig-y-Don, and confined to a spinal carriage, he was one of those regularly transported to church by Matron Violet Mitchell and her staff who would travel along the coast road, often in blustery weather. But even though cold and miserable the children were forbidden to accept sweets from the German soldiers they passed by.
