This month sees several important events in the life of the Parish, the most important being the annual Rates Assembly which takes place in the Assembly Room of the Town Hall at 7pm on Wednesday 16th July. This is the opportunity for ratepayers to ask questions about the past financial year and hopefully to approve the budget for 2014/2015. A digest of the main points to be presented is on page 7 of the magazine, while the elected Accounts Committee will be publishing its report with the accounts both online and in booklet format on Friday 11th July. This important meeting falls on St Helier Day itself and the Parish will be celebrating the life of Jersey's patron saint in various ways this month, including at an early morning communion service at the Hermitage; the annual pilgrimage (pictured on the cover) takes place on the afternoon of Sunday 13th July and includes free entry to Elizabeth Castle as well as a cream tea. The Parish will once again be adding its own Street Party to the various other events taking place during the month, including festivals for the French and Polish communities. The newly-elected Mayor of Funchal, Senhor Paulo Cafôfo, will also be paying his first visit to St Helier during St Helier Week. Many parishioners value the kerbside recycling scheme which has now been rolled out to 90% of householders; there will be an opportunity to see what happens to the recyclables at an open day at the Municipal Services Depot onThursday 17th July. The Parish's floral competition will also be judged this month, so all in all, a busy time ahead. S ocial media is an important way of keeping parishioners informed and updated. St Helier was the first of Jersey's twelve parishes to create its own website, and last year a new improved version was launched. It is updated regularly with news, events and discussion from the Island's capital. As well as the website (www.sthelier.je), we are now making increasing use of Facebook which is updated daily by Annie Le Noury with important and useful announcements about life in St Helier and in the Island as a whole. The Parish is also tweeting, so please follow us on twitter (@StHelierJsy). Of course, we continue to use traditional ways of informing parishioners, including the A-board outside the Town Hall, press releases, advertisements and this Town Crier to try to reach everyone; why not take a look at our Facebook page today (and like it!). 3 DEPOT OPEN DAY, THURSDAY 17TH JULY, 10AM–2PM A round-up of the latest news and events from the Town Hall, Parish departments and our associated clubs and organisations. PROJECT TRIDENT STUDENT THOMAS GAUGHRAN (of Le Rocquier School) has been working with the Building & Roads Maintenance Section for a period of three weeks. HAVRE DES PAS IMPROVEMENT GROUP A new residents' group has been meeting in the Havre des Pas area for several months. The Havre des Pas Improvement Group was formed by the Constable of St Helier in response to several requests for environmental improvements in this part of St Helier. The Group comprises almost 30 individuals and it usually meets at the Ommaroo Hotel on the last Thursday in the month at 6pm. The Parish of St Helier Depot welcomes you to a ‘behind the scenes’ look at what is involved in running the variety of departments based at the Municipal Services Depot at Mont à l’Abbé. The Depot is home to the Parks and Gardens Department, Refuse & Recycling Section, Fleet Workshops, and the Building & Roads Maintenance Department. You will get the opportunity to walk through the vast greenhouses and ask questions about how the Parish grows its plants from seed and the planning involved in producing excellent standards of floral displays around the Parish. The recycling staff will be delighted to show you the new recycling baler which will be in operation between 10am and 11.45am inside the purpose-built recycling processing facility which deals with the commodities from the kerbside recycling scheme. You can then move on to see the mechanics within the fleet workshops who have responsibility for the full range of vehicles and equipment from a strimmer to the large refuse collection trucks. The Building & Roads Maintenance Department will be available to show you a typical example of our road works schemes and planning schedules for building maintenance. We look forward to seeing you soon. Issues raised include the traffic levels along the promenade, especially during the rush hour; speeding traffic and cycles; anti-social behaviour; and the light and air pollution from the JEC chimney. The group are also exploring ways of adding to the facilities offered in the area and of generally improving the ambience and appeal of Havre des Pas to residents and visitors. Officers from the Parish attend the meetings, with John Stievenard (Director of Technical & Environmental Services) and Tony Andrews (Director of Parks, Cemeteries and Open Spaces) taking lead roles. There have also been representatives visiting the meeting from the JEC, the Health Protection department and the States of Jersey Police. Anyone who cares about the future of Havre des Pas is welcome to join the Group. (Contact Annie Le Noury on 811821 or [email protected].) W The States' Employment Board has awarded a 4% pay increase, but the Parish is aiming to keep any increase in rates bills as low as possible. Of course, how much ratepayers contribute to the running of their Parish is up to them, which is why each year I try to encourage both domestic and business ratepayers to attend the Rates Assembly (7pm on Weds 16th July). But how do we manage to keep costs down? First, by maintaining a vigilant and prudent approach to departmental spending. The Procureurs du Bien Public and I go carefully through the planned projects before allowing them to go forward, while all of the budget estimates for the new financial year are scrutinised by elected members of the Parish, particularly the Accounts Committee and the Roads Committee. The same applies to our revenue budgets, although we know that parishioners expect their streets to be cleaned, parks and gardens maintained, and our residential homes and day nurseries to continue to be among the best in Jersey. You may have noticed that when we advertise a job vacancy it is made clear whether it is a replacement post or one that has been made possible by compensatory staff savings. Front line staff numbers have been maintained for many years now while management posts have reduced. We continue to maximise non-rates income which now accounts for around half of the funds received by the Parish, especially from sources like scaffolding permits, al fresco fees, room hiring and services for which we can levy a reasonable charge. The unfairness of St Helier's position, however, continues in spite of our efforts to persuade the Council of Ministers – several of whom started their political careers as St Helier deputies – to offset the costs to St Helier ratepayers of maintaining public facilities such as parks and public toilets which in all of the other parishes are paid for out of general taxation, and to pay rates on their properties like the rest of us. Constable Simon Crowcroft 5 Jubilee Marine Lake BY PIERRE HORSFALL CBE CHAIRMAN, VICTORIA MARINE LAKE RESTORATION GROUP Jèrriais BY GERAINT JENNINGS NOU N'SAIT PON SUS TCHI PID DANSER À ches drein la Ville r'a atchilyi des danseurs dé Dgèrnésy et d'la Grand' Tèrre et nou r'a dansé avaû les c'mîns en costeunmes du temps pâssé. Coumme nou dit: "Lé Dgèrnésiais lève touos ses dgéthets quand i' danse!" Mais les Crapauds n'dansent dgéthe à la vielle faichon. Ch'est en tchi j'avons pèrdu les vielles danses dé Jèrri – danser n'tait pon respectabl'ye, et ch'tait même un péché l'Dînmanche. Nou n'ôsait pon dêcrithe dans des livres coumme tchi danser les vielles danses. Véthe, quand j'tais janne et quand ch'tait acouo contre la louai d'danser l'Dînmanche nou-s'éthait creu vivre au Mouoyen Âge! Achteu nou danse ès p'tits crapauds dans les clobes dé niet sus la dreine musique, mais des danses folkloriques ont 'té oubliées en Jèrri ouaithe qu'i' les gardîssent en Dgèrnésy et dans la Grand' Tèrre (tout coumme j'avêmes probabliément les mêmes danses). Au temps pâssé, nou-s'avait dansé des danses souôdîthantes respectabl'yes: quand les soudards Russes 'taient ichîn en 1799–1800, la polonnaise d'vînt faichonnabl'ye parmi les hauts jutchis. Pus tard quand y'avait des bat'lées d'jannes mathiés tchi v'naient pouor des raisons d'taxe, y'avait des grands bals au Pav. Et y'en avait étout, des bals, pouor la Batâle dé Flieurs. Et vous achteu, dans'-ous? BEING LED A MERRY DANCE Recently Town has welcomed back dancers from Guernsey and mainland Normandy and there's been dancing again in traditional costumes through the streets. As the saying goes: "The Guernseyman lifts all his legs up when he dances!" But the Crapauds rarely dance in the old-fashioned way. What's happened is that we lost the old Jersey dances – dancing wasn't respectable, and was even sinful on Sundays. Indeed, when I was young and the law still didn't permit dancing on Sundays you could have been living in the Middle Ages! Now people dance until the early hours in nightclubs to the latest music, but in Jersey folk dances have been forgotten, although they kept them going in Guernsey and in the mainland (however we probably had the same dances). In time past, some people danced in what was called a respectable style: when the Russian soldiers were here in 1799–1800, the polonaise became fashionable among the upper crust. Later when boatloads of newlyweds came for tax reasons, there were grand balls at the Pav. And balls were also held for the Battle of Flowers. So, how about you, do you dance? 6 T he refurbishment of the bathing pool at West Park was initiated last year by the Parish of St Helier and is being co-funded by the States of Jersey Development Company and the Parish. Work on restoring the Marine Lake is progressing as planned with a good deal of the internal concrete and cement repairs complete. Many parishioners will have noticed machinery and operatives in their yellow high visibility jackets working away around the old wall. The focus at present is at the deep end, where storm damage has to be repaired and new sluice gates installed. Some of the large granite blocks have to be put back into their correct position and precise openings created in the wall to receive the newly-fabricated sluice gates which have been delivered and are due to be installed in the next few days. I answer a frequently asked question – any cement and concrete used in the repairs contains an accelerator and sets in under one and a half hours. This means that so long as it is dry for a minimum of one and a half hours it is not affected by being covered by the incoming tide. The contractors, Rateavon (Jersey) Ltd, report that the work will be complete early in July ready for the school summer break, as planned. In the meanwhile the Bosdet Foundation who will operate the Lake are planning and putting together an exciting programme which will provide something for everyone who wants to participate. Exciting times for West Park, the Parish of St Helier and for the Island of Jersey. Rates Assembly PREVIEW 16 th July is arguably the most important day in 2014. Not only is it the feast day of Jersey’s patron saint, but this year at least it is the date of the annual rates assembly when St Helier’s ratepayers have the chance to examine the previous year’s accounts as well as the proposed budget for the new financial year. They are also put in the driving seat when it comes to ‘setting the rate’ – or determining how much their rates bills will be. the day-to-day financial transactions and the preparation of year-end accounts and budgets. Each year the Parish also elects a group of parishioners to form its Accounts Committee (Robert Le Brocq, Clive Barton, Peter Pearce, David Croxford, Jackie Hilton, Bernard Manning, Bob Key, Mitch Couriard, Richard Rondel and Stewart Mourant), who meet on a quarterly basis to review the Parish’s financial affairs and give the benefit of their experience in financial matters. Finally, the Parish auditors, Alex Picot, carry out independent audits of St Helier’s accounts, highlighting any additional financial controls that are necessary and signing off the accounts in time for the annual Rates Assembly. Andy Pemberton, Finance Director What is a Mandataire? E ven if you don’t live in St Helier you may be entitled to vote at Parish Assemblies, including the annual Rates Assembly where the amount you pay in Parish rates is fixed. Any business or body corporate which pays rates in the Parish is entitled to appoint a nominated Mandataire who can attend the assemblies and vote. Peter Pearce (left) and Clive Barton MBE (right) The Parish’s accounts are ultimately the responsibility of the Constable, but Mr Crowcroft relies upon a number of key individuals for financial advice and help including the Procureurs du Bien Public, Clive Barton MBE and Peter Pearce, who meet with the Constable regularly throughout the year and who have pledged to look after the Parish’s accounts ‘better than their own’. St Helier also has a professional team of experienced and qualified accounts staff working under the direction of Andy Pemberton – Jim Sloan, Dawn Kerfoot, Trudie Crocker and Carol Robinson (pictured below), who are responsible for Q How do I appoint a Mandataire? A Visit the Parish’s website and complete the form there, at www.sthelier.je/parishmeetings/ or contact Mark Dowinton, Assistant Manager of Customer Services, telephone 811811 or email [email protected]. Auditor Henry Le Maistre 2014 is the second year that parishioners will receive the accounts in ‘GAAP compliant’ form. The modernisation of St Helier’s accounts, initiated by Clive Barton, means that for the first time in many centuries parishioners are able to get an accurate indication of the state of Parish finances, including fixed assets and depreciation figures. The Parish accounts for 2013/14 and the proposed estimates (or budget) for 2014/15 will be available for inspection at the Town Hall and online from Friday 12th July. Andy Pemberton is happy to meet any ratepayers by appointment who would like more information ahead of the Rates Assembly, and you can contact him on 811829 or [email protected]. Accounts team: Back row: Dawn Kerfoot, Trudie Crocker and Carol Robinson. Front: Jim Sloan Q What is the deadline for appointing a Mandataire to vote in the 2014 Rates Assembly? A The list of Mandataires closes 48 hours before a Parish Assembly, i.e. you must appoint your Mandataire by close of business on Monday 14th July. Q Can I vote in an assembly as a parishioner as well as voting as a Mandataire, i.e. can I have two votes? A No, the law has been changed to prevent this from happening. Q If I am a Mandataire can I vote in the elections in October as well? A No, a nominated Mandataire is a member of the Parish Assembly only and not an elector of the Parish; they can only vote at Parish Assemblies. 7 w www.viberts.com w w.viberts.com Lawyers L awyers wh who who listen listen We e focus ffoc ocus on on building building long-term long-term relationships re relationships and and tailoring tailoring our our ces tto o meet meet the the needs needs of of our our varied va varied clients. clients.

LITIGATION LITIGATION elier,Hersey,J E4 ZJQ 8 PERSONAL PERSONAL PROPERTY PROPERTY REVIEW OF THE Normandy Veterans Association trip T he Parish helped organise D-Day events both at home and abroad last month as part of its commitment to support the armed forces and, in particular, Jersey’s veterans. Working closely with Aurélie LeRoy of La Maison de Normandie, Annie Le Noury of the Parish of St Helier organised travel and hotel accommodation for the three Normandy Veterans and their partners who were thrilled to attend the 70th anniversary commemorations of ’Operation Overlord’. Due to the illness of one of the group, only Billy Reynolds and Harry Fenn were able to make the trip, which was supported by La Motte Ford, Condor Ferries and the J.E.P., who also supplied the driver/photographer, Tony Pike. Tony also proved adept in ensuring that the Jersey veterans were introduced to HRH the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, the UK Prime Minister, Edward Miliband and Nick Clegg. Back in Jersey the Parish’s social organiser, Jane Skelhorn, along with Bernie Baldwin and Ken Soar of the Royal British Legion, organised the annual commemoration of D-Day at the Cenotaph. Jurat Jill Clapham, Lieutenant Bailiff, and the Constable were introduced to nearly a dozen members of the Normandy Veterans Association, as well as veterans of the Korean War and more recent conflicts, before the short service conducted by the Dean, the Very Reverend Bob Key. Juliette Hart read a poem specially written for the event while Chris Stone paid a moving tribute to Jersey’s Normandy Veterans. The event was concluded with a reception in the Town Hall when the public were able to listen to the veterans’ life stories.

Soft touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the CranioSacral system. o the uninformed, CranioSacral Therapy ('CST') sounds painful just in the reading. Cranial is anything relating to the skull or cranium, while the Sacral (Sacrum) is a wedged shaped bone at the base of the spine. So you might think CST involves deep head massage with lots of twisting and pulling around and somebody jumping up and down on your lower back, and that you would leave a session in a state of mild shock and in need of a lie down! In fact as Julie Skelley, a fully qualified CranioSacral Therapist based in Jersey, explains, the opposite is the case. A graduate of the Upledger Institute, and one of only a handful of people qualified in Jersey to call themselves a CranioSacral Therapist, Julie has a background in holistic alternative therapies dating back to 1992 when she practised Reiki on family and friends. She is also a qualified reflexologist and has developed a deep interest in the workings of the human form, which led her to the study of CST. She explains "I became fascinated with how the body develops through its lifetime and how it works and heals itself. As a holistic therapist specialising in CST, I am working with the body to balance the mind, body and soul. Tensions can occur anywhere and, as practitioners and therapists, we believe that CST can release these tensions deep in the body, thereby relieving pain and improving health generally." CST has its origins in the early 1970s when, during neck surgery on a patient, American osteopathic surgeon Dr John E. Upledger noticed a distinctive movement or pulsing of the dural tube, which is the membrane surrounding and protecting the spinal column. Nothing in his or his colleagues' experience indicated why this should happen and, keen to expand on his knowledge, he discovered the teachings and cranial osteopathy course developed by Dr William Sutherland. The basis of this course was that, contrary to perceived belief at the time, the bones of the skull were not fused together but continued to move throughout a person's life. This opened up a whole new field of alternative therapy and, after many years of research, Dr Upledger founded the Upledger Institute with the purpose of enlightening practitioners and the public as a whole to the benefits of CST. A visit to Julie's website (www.julieskelley.co.uk) gives further insight on the benefits of CST: By normalising the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body's ability to self-correct, CranioSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain and sports injuries to stroke and neurological impairment." Julie describes light touch therapy as "A soft pressure which is normally no greater than 50g, about the weight of a 20p piece. This gentle hands-on approach enables CST to be available to people of all ages, from babies to very senior citizens." Julie Skelley "Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. The central nervous system is heavily influenced by the CranioSacral system – the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the CranioSacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system and potentially every other system within the body it interacts with. As well as treating clients on Jersey Julie has travelled extensively, extolling the benefits of CST and treating clients. She works across the complete spectrum of conditions and ailments and difficulties arising from stress, migraines and headaches, depression, chronic neck and back pain, ADD/ADHD and other behavioural issues, conception, pregnancy and birth, brain and spinal injuries, tension and Autism. In addition Julie says, "An increasing number of mums are coming in with babies who are not sleeping or who have colic. The mums are at the end of their tether and it is very satisfying to be able to help both mother and baby." Julie is at pains to stress that CST is an alternative and complementary form of therapy and is not a replacement for appropriate and conventional medical care. Are you struggling with a situation or condition right now? Do you think Julie could help you or a family member or friend? For more information and to book an appointment contact Julie at the Lido Wellness Centre at St Saviour’s Road. She can be reached on (01534) 789367 or 07797 742347. Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch the hands are used to evaluate the CranioSacral system.

They have now got their own real caterpillars to observe and are very excitedly watching them change from caterpillars to butterflies. Another update will be provided in the next issue of the Town Crier. MRS ELEONORA JEUNE, RESIDENT OF ST EWOLD’S remains on the lookout for donations of wool to assist her with the knitting of baby clothes. Everything knitted is sold by Nora, with funds donated to the Women’s Refuge. If you can help please telephone St Ewold’s on 285855. COUPLES ACCOMMODATION AT ST EWOLD’S As mentioned last month, St Ewold’s is lucky enough to have three suites suitable for couples, partners or family members wishing to move into care together. The clever design of space allows for one room to be used as a lounge/dining area, with a second room big enough to use as a shared bedroom. These rooms, together with en-suite bathroom, provide a private haven amid the hustle and bustle of residential living and are flexible enough to accommodate any change in care requirements. If interested in learning more, please contact Ann McLean, Home Manager, on 285855. GEORGETTE DAREAU, RESIDENT OF ST EWOLD’S, CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY Family travelled from France, Italy and Hong Kong recently to help celebrate the 100th birthday of St Ewold’s resident Mrs Georgette Dareau. Charles Woodrow, Chief of Staff at Government House, delivered the Queen’s congratulatory birthday message along with St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft. Also in attendance was a reporter from Channel Television with footage of her late husband, Jacques Dareau, who Town Crier readers may remember as the last French newsreader at Channel. Georgette was joined by family, friends, fellow residents and staff at a tea party held at St Ewold’s on May 23rd to celebrate her birthday. Georgette is lucky to remain in good health and is a celebrated knitter amongst her peers. 12 Getting Slim and Healthy this Summer BY JOANNE REID RODRIGUES A dilemma that perplexes many folks with a weight problem is the question of why they stay overweight when they long to become slimmer, healthier and fitter. Naturally, there are various reasons; emotional eating is a common pattern, as is lack of awareness about the nutritional content of certain foods. However, a familiar reason why people remain overweight is the pattern of always delaying the moment to start making healthier choices. One last pig out or one last bottle of wine and then I’ll start, says the little voice in the minds of many. Somehow we promise ourselves that tomorrow we’ll transform our lives, but when tomorrow comes, so do the cravings to which it’s easier to succumb than overcome. Procrastination is the main reason for not achieving all sorts of goals. Where cutting back on the high calorie foods and beverages are concerned we’ve got all sorts of excuses: In the autumn, we tell ourselves we can’t lose weight because we have too many Christmas parties to attend. In January, we tell ourselves it’s too cold and we convince ourselves it’ll be easier in summer. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth! Summer is the season that most folks find more difficult because they’re out more, socialising more and holidaying and suchlike. Unless we’re focused, it’s easier to eat and drink more in summer, not less. There’s no such thing as tomorrow – tomorrow is only a word. In reality, when it comes, it’s now all over again. Many convince themselves they’re really serious about changing their habits; they convince themselves that come tomorrow they’ll be self-disciplined. And then they indulge in the old ritual of having one big last pig out before they part company with all the foods and beverages they’ll be leaving behind when the new regime starts. When tomorrow comes it’s harder, not easier, and patterns are repeated. To succeed, we need to change our habits now – not tomorrow. In my Slimming Together classes, I work with men and women from all walks of life. A key aspect of my work is helping people overcome resistance to change. People are often willing to attend classes and seminars and willing to read books – they’re not always so willing to follow the teachings. Amazingly, even when we want to change and improve our lives, we all too often get stuck in a groove, repeating patterns that don’t serve us. Giving up our resistance to change is fundamental in moving forward and achieving our goals. If you tried without success in the past, don’t allow yourself to be weighed down by the idea of failure. Many do this and they become jaded. Let the past go – it is finished. Start again with fresh enthusiasm. Focus on your goals and align your conversations and self-talk and your behaviour with those goals and you’ll see them come to fruition. All is possible! Are all your clothes too tight? Are you tired and lacking energy? Do you feel self-conscious about your weight? Would you like more vitality? Join Slimming Together NOW and make your weight-loss goals a reality. Results start when you do!

B ack in the early 1960's an extraordinary, fanciful contraption appeared for one summer in Millbrook Park. Known as the Guinness Timepiece, it was a mechanical clock made up of three large sections, featuring the animals used in the famous Guinness adverts. Every quarter hour as it started up doors would slide open, bits would rise up and the Guinness animals would rattle around the front of the thing. It was probably one of the mechanical marvels of its age, and yet none of these clocks (which travelled around various seaside resorts) survives. Indeed, only two brief snippets of film exist showing this wonder in action (if you Google 'Guinness Timepiece' you can see both YouTube clips of the clock in action). My sister and I spent many happy hours in front of the clock that summer. And it was entirely on the basis of those fond memories that I rather welcomed the announcement that a Steam Clock was to be erected at the Weighbridge. Alas, when I saw the Steam Clock in action for the first time, I was hugely disappointed. It did so little! And the public, too, simply haven't taken to it. It is a quirky thing, yet perhaps the real problem is that it isn't quirky enough. More in the way of bells, whistles and dancing girls might have helped. It is all a bit dull, and it simply cannot match the wonderment of that Guinness clock more than three 14 decades earlier. And nowadays our Steam Clock does even less, as it doesn't seem to work properly anymore. So perhaps it is little wonder that it is tolerated rather than loved by the public. All of which is a bit of a shame, given that this was a deliberate attempt to relate to the area's history. On the plus side, however, is the fact that it is also a water feature. Look at the stonework of the rather nice pool that sits beneath it. Those hefty, curved, granite blocks are possibly the only modern additions to our waterfront that successfully echo the rugged nature of our old harbours. Another plus is that this pleasant space has been clawed back from a car park. Yet for all that, the place feels cut off and under-used. There seems to be no relationship with the adjacent Maritime Museum, despite the obvious maritime theme. And there is a danger that if the public continues to shun the place, it will end up being re-allocated for some other purpose. I have certainly seen a plan in the past that proposed putting a new building here. So what can be done with this rather unloved space? Maybe the pool could be turned into a proper fountain. Our town still doesn't have many of these. Certainly the area needs to be properly linked in with the other side of the New North Quay. And perhaps a trick was missed when the cycle track was extended around the perimiter of the site. That track now cuts across the wide entrance to the access road opposite Normans. Given the speed with which juggernaut Lorries turn the corner here, it is possibly the most dangerous bit of cycle track ever built. Why wasn't the track diverted into the Steam Clock square, and along one side of it? It could then have crossed halfway down the access road on the existing table top crossing, which is a far safer place to cross. This would also have brought a bit of animation into the Steam Clock area. Tourists on bikes would have passed through the square rather than simply skirting around it. They might even been persuaded to stop and sit in it! There needs to be a coherent plan to make this area function properly. The pedestrian areas either side of the New North Quay are isolated from each other by the current muddle of parking spaces inbetween. Unlike other bits of our waterfront, this is one area that we could really be proud of, but the timidity in linking it all up properly is compromising that. The whole area from the Albert Pier to Commercial Buildings could be superb if all the pedestrian spaces were properly integrated. But sadly at present it all remains rather 'bitty', leaving the Steam Clock in not so splendid isolation. SCORE OUT OF 10: 5 (and more if and when it is properly completed) The French Connection Aurélie Leroy, manager of St Helier based Maison de Normandie, keeps us up to date with events and developments just over the Channel in France.

COURTNEY PINE: HOUSE OF LEGENDS FRI 18 JULY 8PM | £20 ANDRE RIEU’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT SAT 19 JULY 7PM | £17 D ust is not even settling yet after D-Day celebrations (which will carry on until the end of September in Normandy) and we are now talking about the next event in a very busy Normandy this year!! The next one is the Tour des Ports de la Manche Yachting Race stopping by Jersey, just like every year for the last ten years or so. It is the 30th anniversary of a very popular race and well-known to Channel Islanders. Some 700 sailors with 110 boats from France, England and the Channel Islands will compete in this amazing and friendly race across the Channel departing from Granville to Jersey on 6th July and then going across to Guernsey, Carteret, Dielette, Cherbourg and ending in St Vaast La Hougue on 11th July. If you look carefully on the morning of 7th July in St Aubin’s Bay you will see them all departing at around 8.30 a.m. Watching 110 boats starting a race is always quite impressive. A large media coverage of the race will also promote all ports of call including Jersey in sailing magazines but also in local and national French medias. Let’s get it started!

The main feature is a large sandcastle decorated with shells and the Parish flag, and a helter-skelter with children sliding down it, which leads the eye on to the Victoria Marine Lake at West Park. Rotating boats circle the pool to highlight its reopening this month (see Diary). The large pencil point postcard, expertly created by Sarah Richardson, is based on the view from West Park out to Elizabeth Castle, with the lighthouse based on the one outside the Maritime Museum. There will be elements from Havre des Pas beach as well, with a beach hut scheme on the rear of the float together with sea creatures. The front of the float has a large seagull above the waves carrying a large postcard, again worked in pencil point carefully created by Daphne Bland. On the beach area will be our Miss, Mr and Jr Miss St Helier. Our dancers will complement the seaside scene wearing old-fashioned style bathing suits and dancing to fun seaside music. Colours have been restricted to sand, orange and navy and the three primary colours – but shocking pink will be used instead of red to achieve a jazzy seaside effect and interesting colour combination. We have chosen to create a paper float once again as it enables all of our parishioners, both young and old, to join in with the flower-making sessions at St Ewold’s Home and the Parish Depot. For more information about getting involved in St Helier's Battle of Flowers Association please contact Bruno Sousa on 07797833146 or email [email protected]. Make sure to join Peter Gill at Jersey Arts Centre on Monday 14 July as he presents a tribute to renowned musical satirist Tom Lehrer. Politically Incorrect relives the golden days of satire, featuring comedy that is now perhaps darker and more cutting edge than most of today’s performers would risk. Written over 50 years ago, Lehrer’s songs and his irreverent attitude have survived the passage of time, gaining almost a cult status in recent years. Lehrer himself famously said that “if, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while”! In this 90-minute celebration of Lehrer’s work, pianist, singer and all round entertainer Gill will perform such classics as Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, The Masochism Tango and When You Are Old and Grey. Don’t miss this night of politically incorrect comedy! Put together some guitar riffs, the sound of a bamboo flute, a tabla and a funky drum groove, brew it with some earthly vocals and you get Filter Coffee! The band, flying straight from Mumbai, return to Jersey Arts Centre on Friday 18 July with their popular brand of modern Indian music. So called, as the members believe in always producing a sound as fresh and refreshing as a cup of freshly brewed coffee, the band’s musical influences range from traditional Indian folk music to Western classical, jazz and folk, making them a true fusion duo. Prior to the performance, there will also be a special buffet curry night at caféjac. Finally, fans of Dylan Thomas are in for a treat on 24 July, as Bob Kingdom reprises his critically acclaimed performance of the master poet in Dylan Thomas: Return Journey. Featuring original direction from celebrated actor Anthony Hopkins, Kingdom’s electrifying performance follows Thomas as he is en route to the White Horse Tavern. The production has had sell-out runs at London’s Lyric Hammersmith and The Sydney Opera House, receiving five-star reviews along the way. Jersey Arts Centre is excited to host this legendary hit production, so get booking your tickets!

Is this the lull before the storm or have the pessimists overstated the case? There is no doubt that the internet is a great source of obtaining goods and saves petrol and time. It also can represent a more economical means of shopping; however, once certain sectors have been totally consumed by the internet it will be interesting to see if market dominance will result in less keen prices. One should never underestimate the social importance of the high street, which is where many people meet old friends and socialise whilst visiting town. People who work at home complain that they miss the social interaction of the office. Imagine if you worked at home and shopped at home, would you suddenly be consumed in an all-enveloping domestic bubble? People are becoming less likely to be involved in social interaction and more likely to be electronically obsessed; indeed, how many times in a social situation have we seen someone absorbed with their mobile telephone and totally ignoring the people around them? I therefore think that we should ignore the social aspect of the high street at our peril and that town planners should be ensuring that the shopping areas are an attractive and pleasant place to socialise as well as shop. Richard MacKenzie, Town Centre Manager T: 01534 811700 E: [email protected] 20 DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES T he Parish of St Helier took delivery of a new recycling baler and conveyor recently which will increase the throughput of the recyclables we are collecting from parishioners and processing in our new recycling shed, prior to shipment to our recycling partner in St Malo. The Middleton ME80 closed-end hydraulic baler met our requirements for: • Ease of operation and maintenance; • Ability to handle a wide range of materials such as cardboard, paper, plastics and metals; • Rugged, well-proven design; • Suitability for small depots. Safety is a key consideration and the baler has an abundance of safety features including eight emergency stop buttons which immediately shut down the plant should an incident occur. The baler arrived at the Depot at 5.45am to avoid any disruption to road users in the Parish, with the manufacturer sending its engineers to install and test the baler in situ before training Parish staff in the operating and maintenance procedures. It was an exciting moment as the large crane arrived to lift the baler and conveyor from the transport trailer onto heavy duty castors to manoeuvre the equipment into the recycling shed. The engineers wasted no time and had the baler installed and tested by 4pm that same day. The recycling staff are delighted with the increased output, which prepares a cardboard bale in 20 minutes rather than an hour. It delivers 80 tonnes of pressure to produce a heavier, more compact millsized bale. This significantly improves the payload on the trailer which helps to optimise transportation costs. If you would like to see the new baler in operation we would be delighted to see you at the Municipal Services Open Day (open to all islanders) on Thursday 17th July between 10am and 11.45am (please note recycling operations stop at noon). Above: first heavy card bale Below: first plastic bale NEW St Helier schools Customer MONT À L'ABBÉ SCHOOL'S Art Club remains on the look-out for the following items to use in their various art projects: • • • • Sheets of bubble wrap Bottle tops Ribbons / lace Buttons / beads • • • • Wools / threads Corks Off-cuts of fabric Old art and craft materials They're also looking for driftwood so if you're out and about and able to collect any from our beaches, this would be gratefully received for summer art projects.

Services Manager AT THE TOWN HALL T he Customer Services Department has a new person at the helm. After thirteen years with the Parish, Angela Goguelin left for pastures new in September, leaving behind her a wealth of knowledge and experience and some very big shoes to fill. Daryn Cleworth, who has been with the Parish for seventeen years over two spells, has been handed the task of filling those shoes. Daryn has worked in a variety of roles including Electoral Officer, Debt Collection Officer and Rates Clerk since starting his career in the now defunct Community Services Department. He should be well versed then in the needs of our customers. After taking on the role Daryn explained, “My management style is very customer-focused and my aim is to turn the theory of going that extra yard into an everyday practice. With the foundations that Angela has built and the team I have around me, I’m confident we can achieve this”. HAUTE VALLÉE’S 2014 TV COMMERCIAL Year 10 students at Haute Vallée have been partnered with Channel TV and the Parish of St Helier for the last six years to produce a television advert. They have to come up with ideas based on a topic set by the Constable of St Helier, Simon Crowcroft, and then have to present those ideas to a Dragon’s Den-style panel, with the winning idea then being made into an advert. This gives students an experience of what work is like in the media. Past adverts have included not dropping chewing gum, recycling and cycle safety, and this year’s advert has taken a unique angle on cutting speed in Green Lanes. Funding for this project is provided by the St Helier Youth Committee. If you miss this year's advert on CTV you can access it via the parish website www.sthelier.je. However, Daryn goes on to say that he knows who his greatest allies are. “Our customers are the beginning, middle and end of everything; they are the reason why we get out of bed in the mornings and work late into the evenings. They are what this game is all about and I’m looking forward to working with them as well as for them to provide the best level of customer service in Jersey”. No half measures there then, Daryn! The early signs are positive and the Customer Services Team are clearly starting to make in-roads into the challenges ahead if the customers’ feedback is anything to go by. “I think we’re slowly getting there because we’ve started getting chocolates and the odd bottle of Chardonnay as thank you’s. I don’t have a sweet tooth so the staff get the chocolates but the wine’s mine!” Daryn would love to hear from hear from you if have any ideas on what the St Helier Customer Services Team should be doing for you so please drop him an email at [email protected]. 21 UPDATE FROM ST HELIER’S COMMUNITY IN BLOOM GROUP: The Bloom Group has donated a selection of tools (valued at £150) to the Oak Tree Youth Gardening Club, which is run by the Youth Service. This follows a request made to the Parks Department for a lorry full of topsoil for a raised bed which the Gardening Club will now be able to grow plants and veg in. Bloom supporter Marjorie Hellwig, who runs The First Place at Charing Cross, offered to sell flowers in order to raise funds for the Bloom Group. The team grew a number of pots of tulips which raised approximately £300 for community projects, and the Group is now planning to purchase more tulips, pots and compost this autumn in order to raise further funding. The Group donated £750 towards the purchase of poppy seeds for the commemoration of WW1. The seeds were sown along the Waterfront and used to plant up the top flower bed in Victoria Park. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 SURVILLE ALLOTMENTS UPDATE: Following the success of the allotment site, it has now been agreed to provide an additional 12 allotments on an adjoining site. The group has also now formed a very active committee and has a large waiting list of approximately 70 people, with a website at www.survilleallotments.blogspot.com. A huge range of vegetables, soft fruit and herbs are growing on the site, together with some very innovative growing structures.

A great introduction to storytelling and drama play for little ones, this 4pm show is the perfect change to introduce budding stars to the world of theatre.
