Several residents have taken part in the working group which has also been opened to the Parish Deputies. Last month the particular problems for residents caused by school traffic in the St Thomas’ RPZ was examined with a site visit to streets where the collection of school children by car leads to blocked pavements and a lack of parking spaces for residents and their visitors. If any other residents would like to register comments or concerns, please contact Annie Bienvenu on 811821 or email [email protected]. Message from Deputy Rondel Due to sudden illness, I am unable to carry out my duties as usual and apologise most sincerely to the residents of St Helier 3 & 4 Districts, and indeed the wider St Helier community. I am fighting hard in order to be back to full effect as soon as possible. Please bear with me. Thank you, Richard. No WiFi? No problem.

La Bantchette New public toilets in Conway St Parishioners may recall that Parish Assembly approved the redevelopment of the Conway Street public toilets alongside an ugly, unsafe café next door. The project, designed by local architects Barnes, Collie, and Fischer, and constructed by Larsen, was completed last month and it has enabled the Parish to provide all the public toilets on the ground floor rather than the unacceptable and unsafe arrangements with toilets split on two floors with access via a narrow staircase, as well as tidying up the appearance of the street, an important gateway into St Helier. The first and second floors provide modern office suites which have already been let to a local company, the rental income of which will help to defray the costs of running the toilets on the ground floor. A kiosk selling refreshments, papers, confectionery etc will also contribute to the Parish coffers as well as adding to the animation of Conway Street. It is of course unfair that St Helier ratepayers should bear the cost of toilet provision which is used by the public of the Island and visitors. The Constable and Deputies have argued in the States Assembly that a contribution to this service should be made by the States out of general taxation. Modern technology has been an important factor in the scheme with attention to detail of the fixing and fixtures to the public toilets and the use of sustainable power with the use of solar panels in order to reduce running costs. The amount of power being generated by the solar panels will be displayed on an information panel that will also provide the Parish with a modern method to display upcoming events and news. All light fittings within La Bantchette are LED, which requires a fraction of the energy to operate when compared to traditional lighting. La Bantchette is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and includes male and female toilets as well as a generously sized disabled facility.

The Parish’s annual visit to Normandy takes place at the beginning of the month, with two minibuses taking veterans and their supporters to visit the landing beaches, museums and cemeteries in the vicinity of Bayeux.

  • The Jersey Heritage Answersheet
    THE JERSEY HERITAGE Monuments Quiz ANSWERSHEET 1 Seymour Tower, Grouville Seymour Tower was built in 1782, 1¼ miles offshore in the south-east corner of the Island. Jersey’s huge tidal range means that the tower occupies the far point which dries out at low tide and was therefore a possible landing place for invading troops. The tower is defended by musket loopholes in the walls and a gun battery at its base. It could also provide early warning of any impending attack to sentries posted along the shore. 2 Faldouet Dolmen, St Martin This megalithic monument is also known as La Pouquelaye de Faldouët - pouquelaye meaning ‘fairy stones’ in Jersey. It is a passage grave built in the middle Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, the main stones transported here from a variety of places up to three miles away. Human remains were found here along with finds such as pottery vessels and polished stone axes. 3 Cold War Bunker, St Helier A German World War II bunker adapted for use during the Cold War as Jersey’s Civil Emergency Centre and Nuclear Monitoring Station. The building includes a large operations room and BBC studio. 4 Statue of King George V in Howard Davis Park Bronze statue of King George V wearing the robes of the Sovereign of the Garter. Watchtower, La Coupe Point, St Martin 5 On the highest point of the headland is a small watchtower built in the early 19th century and used by the Royal Navy as a lookout post during the Napoleonic wars. It is sturdily constructed of mixed stone rubble with a circular plan and domed top in brick.

  • Review of Birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long
    Review of birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long ecords and observations on the flora and fauna in the Channel Islands Rare treated with confusing arbitrariness by British naturalists in the various branches of natural history. Botanists include the islands as part of the British Isles, mammalogists do not, and several subdivisions of entomo• logists adopt differing treatments. The BOU lists and records have always excluded the Channel Islands, but The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland (1976) included them, as do all the other distribution mapping schemes currently being prepared by the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. The most notable occurrences of rarities have been published in British Birds, and this review has been compiled so that the other, less spectacular—but possibly more significant—observations are available as a complement to the British and Irish records. The late Roderick Dobson, an English naturalist resident in Jersey between 1935 and 1948 and from 1958 to his death in 1979, was the author of the invaluable Birds of the Channel Islands (1952). In this, he brought together the results of his meticulous fieldwork in all the islands, and his critical interpretation of every record—published or private—that he was able to unearth, fortunately just before the turmoil of the years of German Occupation (1940-45) dispersed much of the material, perhaps for ever. I concern myself here chiefly with the changes recorded during the approxi• mately 30 years since Dobson's record closed. Species considered to have shown little change in status over those years are not listed.

  • Trans-Lithospheric Diapirism Explains the Presence of Ultra-High Pressure
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00122-w OPEN Trans-lithospheric diapirism explains the presence of ultra-high pressure rocks in the European Variscides ✉ Petra Maierová1 , Karel Schulmann1,2, Pavla Štípská1,2, Taras Gerya 3 & Ondrej Lexa 4 The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. 1234567890():,; We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally under- neath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans- lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock asso- ciations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process. 1 Center for Lithospheric Research, Czech Geological Survey, Prague 1, Czech Republic. 2 EOST, Institute de Physique de Globe, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. 3 Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Science, ETH-Zurich,

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. They are also making their own paper flowers in different styles and designs; so please get in touch with the Association Secretary to help with Forever St Saviour making flowers for next year’s Battle.

  • 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.
