September2014


The first general election is less memorable, and definitely won’t be coming round again for a few years yet. Unlike the geological tremors that struck theIsland in 2014, our political system seems immune from earthquakes. Mostwould-be challengers to the Establishment faded away under the weight ofconservative intransigence leaving only a few incumbents to beat the drum ofradical change. Still, St Helier welcomed its fair share of political newcomers in2014 – let’s see how they shape up in the year ahead.Looking forward to 2015, our new representatives will need to be on their

mettle when it comes to St Helier. Thereare challenges ahead. After a year (ormore) of talking, the Island needs to deliveron its housing, economic, health andenvironmental promises. Many of thestrategies associated w ith these mattersstrongly affect our capital, its businesses,organisations and residents. Change mayhave to come, but let those who St Helierelected ensure that it is change for thegood, not for the sake of it. Enough of that for now. Let’s look

forward to the last few weeks of thepresent year with festive optimism.

Municipality NewsAs we know, our historic parish system iswhat helps to make our Jersey way of life sounique. In every parish, we all rely on thecontribution of volunteers to serve indifferent roles, generally in an honorarycapacity and often unrecognised.

It was with great pleasure that I was ablerecently to acknowledge, by way of apresentation, the honorary service of twoelected members of the municipality, BrianRaffray and Gerald (Bunny) Le Brun. Brianwas first elected to the St Lawrence RoadsCommittee in 1984 and this year celebrates30 years of unbrokenservice in thatcapacity.

Bunny was firstelected as a RoadsInspector in 1976and in 1983 was alsoelected as aConstable’s Officer(CO). He served inboth roles until 1996when he stood down as a CO,but continued to serve as aRoads Inspector and has nowgiven 38 years of unbrokenservice to the Parish. Onbehalf of us all, manycongratulations and thanks tothem both. Thanks too, toBrian's wife, Veronica, and to Jackie, Bunny'swife, for the support they have given themover the years.

As mentioned in the Spring Edition of themagazine, Roy Le Sueur had stood down atthe end of his term as Roads Inspector inDecember and his years of service wererecognised with a presentation earlier thisyear. Thanks to his wife, Cynthia, forsupporting him whilst he served our Parish.

CongratulationsTo Amiee Judge, who was crowned in May asMiss St Lawrence 2014. Amiee is no strangerto the Parish, having been Miss St Lawrence

in 2011 as well as being elected as aConstable’s Officer in December 2013.

Village ImprovementPlan, Second PublicConsultationFollowing the successful first publicconsultation to develop a VillageImprovement Plan for the historic villagearea, I am hoping to call a second meetingin September. Our Deputies, John LeFondré and Eddie Noel, are workingclosely with me and the Transport &Technical Services Department to considerthe comments and ideas you made at the

first meeting and we look forward to deliveringagreed improvements as soon as possible.

Community Support TeamA reminder that we try to offer support toparishioners who may find themselves in needof help with things such as shopping, a visit totheir GP or prescription collection.Unfortunately as we have limited resources, thiscannot be offered on a permanent basis but wedo our best to respond to your calls. We need tobuild up our list of people willing to help tooffer this support, please call the Parish Hall ifyou want to become involved.

Scenic Lane CompetitionIt was very good news to learn that we had wonthe annual Scenic Lane Competition, which isrun by the Société Jersiaise. Our entry was Villees Gazeaux and I must thank those residentswho ‘litter pick’ and thereby help to maintainthis tranquil area of our Parish. The judges wereimpressed by the cleanliness, variety of wildlifeand plants and the general ambience. It iscertainly worth a visit!

With thanks to everyone who contributes toour Parish life and community.

As this last Capital of the year goes to print, excitement isbuilding in anticipation of a magical town Christmas. Busymen in overalls have been seen throughout the mainshopping areas festooning walls, lamp posts and trees withlights and decorations. Shops have long been filled withseasonal specials, restaurants are pushing turkey andtrimmings, and countdown to the office Christmas party isalmost finished.

There is no excuse for last minute present buying. Latenight Thursday shopping started in November and continuesright up to 18 December with many stores remaining openuntil 9.00pm. Shops will also open on Sundays in Decemberbetween 10.00am and 5.00pm. And from Monday 15December, shops are keeping their doors open until 7.00pmeach evening.

And there should also be no excuse for missing one of the planned festive markets in St Helier. ‘LéMarchi Nouormand’ Norman French Market is open from Thursday 4 December to Sunday 7 December atthe Weighbridge and Spirit of Christmas Market takes place in the same location on the same dates.Alongside them, the Advent Christmas Market is found in the Royal Square. For details on opening hoursvisit www.jersey.com.

The markets are all part of ‘La Fête dé Noué’, a programme of events designed to create a magicalChristmas atmosphere in St Helier. One of its highlights is the Spectacular Christmas Parade, which takesplace on Sunday 7 December between 6.00pm and 7.20pm. The floats and entertainers pass through LaRoute de la Liberation, Liberation Square and The Esplanade – be early to get the best view.

‘Tis the season to be jolly…andnowhere in the Island will youfind more jolliness this festiveseason than in St Helier.

From January 2015,Parishioners will find theirincome tax payments on theincrease. It’s all part of a newlong-term strategy aimed atensuring Jersey can continueto meet the cost of caringfor vulnerable Islanders.

In July this year, the States approved theLong-Term Care (LTC) Scheme. Its purpose isto provide financial support for Islanderswho are likely to require a high level of careneeds for the rest of their lives. The schemeapplies whether you live in a dedicated care facility or remain living in your own home.Finance for the scheme will come from the LTC fund, established with a £12 milliongovernment grant. The States will continue to top-up the fund on an annual basis, alongwith contributions from Islanders who pay Jersey income tax.

LTC contributions from taxpayers are set at 0.5% for 2015, rising to 1% in 2016. Theywill be collected in the same way as income tax, i.e. if you pay through ITIS, your rate for2015 will include both tax liability and LTC contribution.

For more information on the LTC Scheme, visit www.gov.je/longtermcare.

Get your skates onFollowing the success of last year’s ice skating at Fort Regent, Ice Skate Jersey,in association with Sure Skate are pleased to be bringing the festive ice rink backto the Queen’s Hall in December.

The rink will be opening on Friday 5December at 3.00pm and in response torequests from skaters last year, it remainsopen for a longer period, closing on 11January 2015. In between it’s open everyday from 10.00am to 9.00pm. The onlyexceptions to this are on Christmas Daywhen it is closed all day, and on BoxingDay and New Year’s Day when the rinkwill open for restricted hours from 1.30to 6.00pm.

Last year the rink was visited by20,000 people during the time that itwas open and over one thousandchildren from 15 schools visited the rink,with many schools organising end ofterm ice skating events.

Ice Skate Jersey also held numerous organised events, including outings from youth clubs, GirlGuides, Scouts and Cubs, as well as private parties and corporate bookings. Overall, approximately70% of skaters were aged under 17, showing the importance of the ice rink in giving young people

another form of entertainment during the winter months.Beginners and improvers will be able to book lessons with professional coach, Nicky

Mack-Rose. In response to the popularity of last year’s seniors’ ice hockey, the number ofice hockey sessions has been increased to two per week. Young proficient skaters

aged between 7 and 11 will be able to try this sport at the Sunday morning juniorice hockey sessions where full kit will be provided.

And there is the new snowpit for toddlers this year, which is a playpen full ofsnow and toys for the youngsters to enjoy, making it easier for families withyoung children to enjoy the rink.

DJ sessions will return on Friday and Saturday nights and this Christmas they will be supported witheven better sound and lighting, making for a unique skating experience.

So put your skates on this winter and visit Sure Skate at Fort Regent!

christmas

It’s that time of year again, when the smell of mulled wine, the twinkling of fairylights, and the sound of carol singing bombards our senses. Unfortunatelyfor many parents, it’s a time also filled with the pressure of finding thatperfect gift. The bargains we make all year long for good behaviour inexchange for a favourable report to the man with the red suit and longwhite beard must be redeemed, but what with?

Every year without fail, ‘must-have’ toys begin appearing on toy store shelves andin television adverts, which then get reported back to us through playgroundchatter and boasting. The spirit of the season becomes lost in a shroud of worryand guilt at the thought of an unhappy child’s face on Christmas morning. FirstWorld problems, some might say, but the best-loved gifts don’t have to be themost expensive. Capital decided to take a look at what Jersey has to offer.

A year after its original movie release date, Frozen merchandise is still at thetop of many Christmas lists this December, with the Snow Glow Elsa andSparkle dolls a must for any little princess in the making. If you can get yourhands on the elusive Elsa costume dress you’ll be very lucky. A worldwide frenzy inApril saw this item selling for as much a $1,000 online.

For your little zoologist in the making, a Little Live Pets Bird Cage mightbe just the thing. These palm-sized pets respond to your child's touch and canmake 30 different sounds, including tweets, chirps and whistles. The chatter-backbutton located on the bird’s chest allows your child to record ten seconds of soundand hear his or her feathered friends talk back. A treat for any animal enthusiast,less so perhaps for the parent woken up at five in the morning, but at least there’sno mess to clean up.

For the technology minded, the Kidizoom Smart Watch is the gadget tohave. Perfect for budding photographers, this durable smartwatch makes it easy totake photos and record videos on the go. There is also a touchscreen to enhancetheir creativity with fun photo effects, frames and filters. The watch helps kidslearn how to tell time by letting them choose between digital and analoguedisplays. They can also choose between more than 50clock face designs. A voice recorder lets kids record theirvoice and play with five voice-changing effects.

If you prefer to stick with the classics, Lego have anew spaceship out, in conjunction with their movie,

released earlier this year. With940 pieces needed to construct

the spaceship of their dreams,this is sure to keep children occupied right

through the holidays, just so long asyou don’t lose any of the bits!

Last, but not least, is the BopIt! Beats Machine,expected to be one of2014’s biggest sellers. This

modern version of the classicBop It! game is just like

the toy you already know,but now there's music by

everyone’s favouriteartists in the mix.

There are fivegame modes,

and players need to move fast to keep upwith the action commands.Sometimes players will be lookingfor the high score, and at othertimes they will be cooperatingwith everyone to get the highscore together. A sure-fire way to getthe festive party going! u

Travel truantsfamilies

As this year comes towards its end, many of us are thinking about our holiday plansfor the next. Singles, couples and those for whom the delights of parenting arebecoming a distant memory can search leisurely for that dream location at hopefullydreamy prices. For families with children, however, checking out the vacation optionscan be a time of angst. With soaring prices outside term time, choices becomelimited for those planning to take their family holidays during the school holidays.

Holidays during term time can be a touchy subject, forboth parents and teachers. Faced with a massive hike inprice for the privilege of travelling when schools areofficially closed, some parents resort to taking an‘unofficial school holiday’ in order to save money. Theyare prepared to face the consequences, which inEngland now mean a fine of £60 per child for eachunauthorised absence.

In Jersey, the consequences of removing your childfrom school are less draconian, but equally frownedupon. The Education Department expects parents tosend their children to class on every day that the schoolis open. Only the headmaster can give approval for themto be absent, and only then in exceptionalcircumstances. If you proceed without authorisation,then the child’s absence is recorded and may beinvestigated if persistent.

That’s not to say schools are unsympathetic to theplight of parents when it comes to holidays (teachersare faced with the same inflated prices after all). But themessage is clear: removing a child from school to go onholiday may affect their education, particularly duringcrucial times such as when preparing for exams orsettling into a new class.

So what are the options for parents unwilling to break the rules? Well, with a bit ofthoughtful planning and willingness to compromise, industry experts reckon that it ispossible to reduce costs and keep the family happy.

Among the key moves are to plan and book early. If there are lower prices to behad, they will certainly disappear the closer you get to school holiday time. Althoughthere might be last minute deals available, choice is likely to be limited to destinationsand accommodation that few others wanted. Besides, do you really want the pressureof not being able to guarantee loved ones that they are going on holiday?

Book independently if possible, as many tour operators frequently change offers andincentives making it difficult to decide which package is best. Be prepared to travelmidweek, which is a time of usually lower fares than on weekends. Opt for school halfterm rather than during the summer holidays. You will only get a week of course, andthe price is normally still higher than non-school holiday times. But it should be alittle more palatable than equivalent weeks in July and August. And opt for themore popular destinations, which are likely to have far more flights and ferriesgoing to them and therefore more capacity and so lower prices.

Above: Low cost travel isunfortunately outside thereach of many familiesAbove inset:Some spectacular locationscan be visited in nearbyFrance


What happens if having tried all of these variouspossibilities and permutations you have still not managed toget within an affordable budget. Well, you could always skipone year’s holiday and put the saving towards somethingspecial in the year that follows. Or try looking for a destinationcloser to home. A short break in nearby France, for example, orin one of the other islands may be cost effective and at leastallow a break. And then there is always the ‘staycation’ toconsider. If we have another summer like 2014, remaining athome may well be the best choice of all. u

Little Miracles in need of a hugFor parents, the birth of a child is an intensely specialmoment. While most will proudly leave hospital withindays complete with newborn, for some mums and dadsit’s the start of an anxious and often scary time. Babiesthat are born prematurely, or with complications, willoften remain in hospital, cared for by the Special CareBaby Unit, or SCBU. Little Miracles is a recentlyestablished local charity that aims to provide supportfor those parents. Capital found out more from itschairperson, Cirsty de Gruchy-Wilson.

As is the way with many new charities, apersonal experience motivated Cirsty deGruchy-Wilson to set up Little Miracles. In2011, Cirsty’s son Harry spent eight weeks inthe SCBU at St Helier’s General Hospital,having been born eight weeks prematurely.While Harry may have gotten over his time inthe unit and is now a boisterous three andhalf-year-old, for his parents it has remainedan unforgettable experience.

‘We knew that Harry was going to be bornearly,’ Cirsty explained, ‘because of medicalproblems that showed up on a scan. Butnothing could have prepared us for the weeksthat followed his birth. Having a baby inspecial care leads to a rollercoaster ofexperiences and emotions – not what mostnew parents are expecting. One thing thatreally helped us through that time was the support provided by both thehospital staff and our family and friends. Realising that not everyonewho goes through this can count on that same support from family andfriends, however, led to the setting up of Little Miracles.’

Babies that arrive prematurely need special attention to help themthrough their first days, weeks and even months of life.The role of SCBU is to provide thatattention, ensuring newborns receivethe best possible care. The goal ofLittle Miracles is to provide parentsof those babies with practical helpwherever possible.

‘Since April 2014, we haveprovided every family that has ababy admitted to SCBU with amemory box filled with gifts,’Cirsty elaborated. ‘We are helping in situationswhere a baby can arrive withserious medical complicationsand our boxes are a way of'giving a hug' by providingpractical and emotionalsupport to anxious parents.’

What goes into thememory boxes was decidedthrough personal experienceof SCBU, liaising with SCBU

staff and through conducting research amongst SCBU parents. The contentsinclude a special baby comforter which can be used in incubators, babyclothes, toiletries for mum, sweets, a laundry bag, pillow case, pen, eye maskand ear plugs.

Since setting up Little Miracles in April 2014, the charity has had a verypositive response and received good feedback from those who have

received the boxes. There has also been significant feedback from SCBUstaff who regularly report that Little Miracles is making a difference in

the lives of families whose child is admitted to SCBU.Each memory box costs around £40 to produce, and the charity

is looking for both corporate and individual donations to continueproviding their important support, as Cirsty explained.

‘We want to carry on helping parents going through the SCBUexperience. It does not take a huge amount of money to make areal difference. I am sure that whether you have directexperience of a baby that needed special care or not, mostparents would understand the value of someone “giving thema hug” at such a stressful time in their lives.’Readers able to help or wanting to find outmore can contact Little Miracles on 07797 768062,email [email protected], visitwww.littlemiraclesjersey.co.uk or go to thecharity’s Facebook page. u

Harbourdues

people

For centuries, St Helier Harbour wasJersey’s primary gateway with theoutside world. Most people and goodscoming to and from the Island passedover its bustling piers and quays. Today,much of this traffic has movedelsewhere, and a more sedate pace hassettled in. Yet strong evidence of theharbour’s rich and fascinating pastremains to be discovered – if you knowwhere to look. One man who does isformer Harbour Master and nowspecialist tour guide Brian Nibbs.Capital recently spent some pleasanttime in his company and learned lots ofnew things about an old friend.

It was a typical autumnal Jersey day. When it wasn’t lost behindscudding greys clouds, the occasional sun was pleasantly warm andbright enough to bring a squint to the eyes. Rain threatened, however, and ablustery wind swirled around, confusing flags and rippling the harbourwaters this way and that. For those of us standing firmly on dry landlistening to our guide, such unsettled conditions were a mere inconvenienceat times. But for anyone setting out from St Helier Harbour 200 years ago,understanding the weather could make the difference between life anddeath. As a seafarer, you learned to read the signs. Or, as was the case forthose on our tour that afternoon, you consulted someone with expertknowledge. Ex-Harbour Master and now tour guide Brian Nibbs is just sucha person.

Brian had invited Capital to join him on a private tour around St HelierHarbour, which has become his speciality since retirement a few years back.We were in the company of a group of visiting gynaecologists, who were insearch of an experience that was, well, something different and enjoyable.Judging by their reaction, the tour certainly appeared to deliver just that.

We caught up with the group as it reached the recently placed memorialcommemorating General Charles de Gaulle’s flying visit to Jersey in the darkdays of June 1940. While there, Brian was also taking the opportunity toexplain some other more tragic aspects of the Occupation, including thestory of Francois Scornet, who had fallen into German hands and beenexecuted by firing squad in the Island after escaping from France.

A short distance away, beside a bench bearing the name ‘Betsy’ and astatement of ‘26 ton sloop’, Brian explained the history of Jersey’sshipbuilding industry to the group. ‘Betsy’, it transpired, was one of over 600vessels of all classes that were built in the Island during the 19th century.Very revealing was that the 26 tons statement related not to her weight, butto the vessel’s cubic capacity. Was that principle the same for all ships, oneof tour member ventured? Absolutely, confirmed Brian before launching intofascinating detail about gross versus net tonnage and stated versusdisplacement weight. Enthralled, we moved on.

Captain Brian Nibbs joined Jersey Harbours in 1974, taking on the newlycreated position of Marine Operations Officer. Under his remit was themaintenance of offshore navigation buoys, beacons and other seamarks, and

gallant expedition to StMalo in June 1940, andof the recognition theclub later received for itspart in rescuing Britishsoldiers from that Frenchport. And the backgroundwas explained to thesmall lighthouse thattoday is found outside

the Maritime Museum but which once stood onthe end of St Catherine’s Breakwater.Furthermore, we learned that the lighthouse isnow a memorial to those Islanders arrested anddeported during the Occupation, with the namesof those who died while in enemy handsinscribed around the base.

The fact that during his time as HarbourMaster, Brian had been directly involved inrescuing the old lighthouse following itsreplacement with a modern construction madesuch stories all the more fascinating. This insightmeant that he was able to explain thebackground to many of the locations visited anditems observed with a familiarity that could onlycome from someone who had lived, worked andbreathed St Helier Harbour for so many years. Thegynaecologists certainly seemed to appreciatethis. Questions and answers flowed back andforth along with good-humoured banter

when considering lighter subjects. Such a relaxingstyle helped time to pass far too quickly – beforewe knew it, the tour was nearing an end. Briansigned off underneath the towering massive ofMount Bingham with the thanks of all thosewhom he had provided an experience that was,well, something different and enjoyable – asplanned.

Reflecting on the afternoon’s tour, we realisedthat it’s easy for those of us without a boat todismiss St Helier Harbour as an area that issimply utilitarian. It’s such a familiar place afterall. But visit in the company of an expert guidesuch as Brian and our eyes are opened to thehistory, facts and details that help made theharbour such a fascinating place. Even without aguide, this is a location that is perfect for a walk,run, cycle or even a very comfortable sit. Give StHelier Harbour its due after all – so many yearsof sterling service must be worthy of a littlerecognition.

Brian leads his harbour walks on Tuesdaysbetween April and September starting outsidethe Tourism Office at 10.30am. For moreinformation on this and private tourscall 01534 856550 or 07797 717604, oremail [email protected].

acting as Oil Pollution Officer forJersey, a requirement that followedthe Amoco Cadiz disaster in 1978.After leaving for a spell to work in theprivate sector, Brian returned in 1997in the role of Harbourmaster. His finalposition was as CEO of JerseyHarbours in April 2002, a job heretired from June 2004. Keen toremain actively involved in maritimematters, however, Brian continued to work as aconsultant and now as an expert tour guide.

That expertise was very evident as the tourwound its way along the piers and quays foundon this part of St Helier’s foreshore. En route, welearned about the Beaufort Scale with the aid ofa series of tablets forming part of paving stoneson the New North Quay. We heard about Le Quaiaux Marchands, or Commercial Buildings as mostknow it today, and its unique numbering system.Jersey’s merchants, according to Brian, were apowerful grouping during the 19th century, sothey could afford to challenge acceptedconvention when it came to their properties.There was the story of St Helier Yacht Club’s

Xmas party beauty– one ‘Cliq’ away

wellbeing

Capital writer and local fitness expertSarah Jones gets ready for the festivecelebrations – or is that exertions?

Planning your Christmas party look? It’s the one time of year when officepolitics and dramas can be brushed aside and we can all look forward to agood old knees-up with our friends and colleagues. With less and less timeat our disposal, it’s important to prep as much as possible before the eventitself.

What better way to glam up for the Christmas party season than withfestive gel nails for the fingers and toes. I visited Cliq Beauty at Flawless totry this treatment out for myself. After a quick chat with my beautytherapist, Chloe, I decided to go with the Jessica Geleration Gel OverlayManicure. Advertised as the next generation soak-off gel nail treatment,GELeration protects your nails, while offering weak, bitten or problem nailsthe opportunity to grow underneath the gel.

Before any colour is applied, Chloe carefully preps my hands and nails byfirst soaking them in Jessica Hand and Body Bath. My nails were thenshaped and buffed a little to ensure that the base coat would stick to thenatural nail. Next came the trickiest part - choosing which of the gorgeouscolours to go for. With a gel manicurelasting up to 21 days, I didn’t want tomake a rash decision! A true girlie girlat heart, I went for Smitten Kitten, abright pink shade, with added silverglitter for extra oomph.

Before any of that, though, aclear base coat is applied andthen my hand is placed under anLED lamp for 30 seconds whilethe other hand is painted. Nextthe colour is applied, followedby the same drying processunder the LED light. Next,Chloe selects a silver shadefrom her box of glitter andexpertly paints a design on topof the newly set pink. Finally, atopcoat seals the colour andglitter in. The whole process takesless than 30 minutes. My nails wereinstantly dry and I didn’t have toworry about smudging or chippingthem on the way home.

I couldn’t be more pleased with thefinished result. The polish has a superhigh gloss to it and looks fantastic. Ispend most of my days either typing orcoaching tennis, and my nails reallytake a battering, so it’s great to see thepolish stay chip resistant and in perfectcondition for far longer than usual. I’ve had somany compliments on the colour and design and I can’twait to pick out my next shade for the upcoming festiveseason.

Unlike other hard-wearing nailtreatments, Jessica GELeration wascreated with the nurture of yournatural nail in mind, For someonewith a habit of breaking nails like me,it has been a real treat to not have tothink about it. So far I haven’t experienced any down sides to this

treatment, and with so many bonuses, what’s not to love:• You can paint over the colour and remove it with polish remover

again and again • It doesn't chip or fade• It lasts three to four weeks• There are no in-fills you just get it removed quickly at the salon and you

can either leave or have it redone• There are many beautiful colours to choose from with more being

developed• You can have extension tips put on if you want to but you don't have

to (I didn't)• You leave the salon with dry nails!Such a quick and simple way to update and accessorise any outfit, whilemaking you feel pampered and special. Next time I’m going for all-outsparkle!

For more information on Jessica GELeration or any othertreatments at Cliq Beauty, contact Chloe, on 07797 822808,

Getting into the swing from a young age

sports

Andy Murray’s inspirational victory at Wimbledondemonstrated that Brits were capable of taking on andbeating the best at tennis. But how do the Centre Courtsuperstars of the future start out on the road to success.For most, the answer is to join a local tennis club.

Tennis is a thriving sport in Jersey. Take a trip around the many tenniscourts found in the Island and you will see people of all ages and allabilities playing and enjoying the sport. For some it may be for fun, forothers health reasons. Quite a number take part competitively, playingin local leagues or competitions or taking their sport further andplaying overseas. A few may even move through to professional status– Guernsey’s Heather Watson is a role model for all those dreaming ofturning their sporting passions into a sporting career.

The Jersey Tennis Association (JTA) acts as the governing body for thesport of tennis within the Island. The role of the non-profit organisationis to promote, improve, develop and support the interests of tennis inJersey.

Clubs are the backbone of the sport and the JTA works to ensurethere are strong and healthy ones in the Island offering tennisopportunities for everyone who wants to play. One particular interest isin bringing through young tennis players, helping them to develop theabilities and attitude needed to play and compete in the future.

Among those providing support to young local players is Les MiellesTennis Club, which aims to provide more and better tennis for everyone(including would be Andy Murrays). The St Brelade based club has fourall-weather floodlit tennis courts, male and female changing rooms anda clubhouse complete with lounge area, kitchen and room for indoorgames including darts and table tennis.

Les Mielles caters for players of all ages and all standards. Clubsessions take place on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings,where members are given the chance to play against different playersin friendly matches. Competitive matches take place as well, withleagues and competitions organised throughout the year.

Importantly for the future of tennis, Les Mielles has an active junior

membership withyoungsters from four toeighteen-years-oldregularly playing. Insupport of the juniorsection there arecoaching sessions forall levels and regularcompetitions. Les Mielles also runs a mini-tennis program in whichgames are played on smaller courts with shorter rackets and softerballs.

In 2014, the club celebrated the 10th year of its primary schoolsoutreach programme, which has been undertaken with the help ofsponsorship from ABN AMRO. The programme gives local children freetennis lessons for 10 weeks of the year. Its aim is to introduce the sportto youngsters and to improve their tennis technique in a funenvironment. This year the lessons were available to four local primaryschools, Mont Nicolle, La Moye, Les Landes and St Peter, with morethan 300 children from 10 school classes taking part.

A new name in housing community

On 1 July 2014, the Housing Department became Andium Homes Limited.What was a government department became incorporated as an independentcompany wholly owned by the States. Chief Executive Ian Gallichan spoke toCapital about the change and what it will mean for Islanders.

Well, it’s been quite a journey, but incorporation on 1 July wentvery smoothly. Our team remains the same and we feel that this iscrucially important for our clients with whom we have builttrusting and durable relationships. It also benefits the businessbecause of the knowledge, experience and expertise that theteams possess.

We have an approved five-year strategic business plan, alongwith loan funding of some £207 million. It is an ambitious plan,but I am confident that we will be able to deliver on thecommitments within it.The new organisation has six key strategic objectives:1. Great homes and places: this will see us bring all our homesup to the ‘Decent Homes Standard’, and keep them at thatstandard in the future. We will also be investing in our openspaces and communal areas to achieve the ‘Andium HomesStandard’ across the stock. 2. Providing happy, safe neighbourhoods: we know howimportant this is to our clients. Each member of Andium Homeshas taken on responsibility for being the single point of contact foran Andium Homes estate or community. This gives clients adedicated person to whom they can talk to about theircommunity. We will also be acting swiftly and more firmly toresolve issues of antisocial behaviour. We will further develop oursafeguarding processes, ensuring an appropriate approach istaken to safeguarding adults and children. We are also getting outand about on the estates more regularly, bringing our services toclients’ doorsteps.3. A renowned client experience: this will see us engaging withour clients in more imaginative ways. It will help us to improve theservices we deliver based on the feedback we receive. We are alsogoing to significantly invest in better information technology sothat we can be more efficient in the way we deliver our services.4. Delivering more homes and services: we will be building anadditional 100 new properties each year, on top of the 472 wehave already committed to delivering. We believe that St Helier iskey to the delivery of new homes in high quality, vibrant and

sustainable new communities in town. We are lookingforward to working with the Parish of St Helier andStates’ departments in delivering the regeneration of keyparts of town. We already provide a range of services tofacilitate independent living for clients with specialist housing needs. Wewant to expand these services and explore options for the provision ofsheltered and supported housing services. 5. Financial strength and stability: we have a robust business plan andgovernance arrangements and will ensure that we deliver best value formoney through better procurement and effective budget management. 6. Provider, employer, investment of choice: we want to be the affordablehousing provider of choice, and we will manage the Andium Homes brandand reputation to attract new clients and be the first choice for affordablehousing solutions in the future. We already provide properties and landlordservices to a number of local charities and I hope that we will strengthen ourlinks with the ‘Third Sector’ in the years to come. A career in housing isinteresting and rewarding and in this regard we will also be launching the‘Andium Homes Bursary Scheme’ to attract graduates to the sector and workwith existing staff to unlockperformance and potentialthrough developed businessskills.

Delivering on theseobjectives is hugely importantfor the success of AndiumHomes and indeed for thebenefit of our clients. I believethere is an exciting futureahead.Top: CEO Ian GallichanRight: The new organisation hastaken over responsibilities forthe Island’s public housing stockMain image: One of its commitments is to build new homes

Eating the elephantplans

To its detractors, Fort Regent is a great white elephant, a missed opportunity lacking purposeand vision. To its supporters, ‘the Fort’ is a vibrant, invaluable space that serves thecommunity well while preserving the integrity of the past. For months now, earnest politiciansand fanciful planners have been working on a solution that they hope will reconcile these twoviews and breathe new life into the Fort. They have presented a master plan that proposes to‘eat the elephant’ one bite at a time through a series of developments that that will attractlocals and visitors alike. Sounds familiar? Capital went in search of some answers.

On 3 February 1955, the States of Jersey agreed to make an offer to theBritish Government for the purchase of all remaining War Department(as it was then) land and property in the Island. For the modest sum of£40,000, Jersey acquired a portfolio that would make today’s propertydevelopers weep with joy. Prime among the received assets was oneNapoleonic-era fortress on the hill above St Helier.

A committee, under the chairmanship of Deputy Ralph Vibert, wasformed to determine what to do with Fort Regent. There was noshortage of bold ideas. Build a car park on the eastern side of the Fortand install lifts from Snow Hill up to the ramparts were two fancifulsuggestions, construct a swimming pool, add a cafe and shops wereothers. The idea of a public-private partnership was mooted, with ahotel and casino high on the list of desirable moneymaking schemesinvolving commercial developers.

The matter rumbled on into the 1960s, with no decision forthcoming.While arguments continued over the rights and wrongs of gamblingand private sector involvement, the Fort lapsed into a coal store and oldcar dumping ground. It took a chance intervention in 1967 to movethings forward. In his will, Sir John Wardlaw-Milne generouslybequeathed £100,000 for the construction of an ‘all-weather’ facilityfor visitors. His wise proviso was that work had to start within 18months of his death. Unable to risk losing the money, the now-named‘Fort Regent Development Committee’ hastily moved forward and tookthe first steps in converting the Fort into a first class ‘recreationalcentre’ for Islanders and visitors.

It’s questionable whether this goal was ever really delivered,notwithstanding the efforts of many individuals and groups. During itsheyday in the 1970s and 1980s, the Fort undoubtedly contained farmore recreational attractions than found there today. Islanders of acertain age will recall the aquarium, roller-blading, Bonaparte’s,dodgem cars and the snake. In the past two decades, however, theemphasis has moved to focus more on sports and community activities,

although the Fort remains the Island’s first choice venue forlarge-scale performances and shows. And that has bothered thosewho believe that more should be done with such a prime site. So theaim of the latest committee (they are not called that anymore ofcourse) was to ‘reinvent Fort Regent’ and work out what it would costto do so. The Fort Regent Steering Group made their report on 12September this yearAmong the proposals included are:1. Improved access from the town through the building of two lifts

linking Snow Hill to a new ‘skyway and viewing platform’ jutting out from the ramparts.

2. A teenage / extreme sports zone to include the option of a covered skateboarding area.

3. New ‘family zone’ consisting of a two or three story building with external play area and crèche facilities.

4. A new 25-metre swimming pool along with learner and hydrotherapy pools.

5. A 2,000-seat conference and exhibition / event space housed in multipurpose halls.

6. Build a new hotel where the presently derelict swimming pool now stands. Remarkably, the new plans contain many of the same ideas put

forward 60 years ago. The difference between then and now is theprice tag. The original committee envisaged spending £1.2million backin the 1950s. Today’s proposals add up to around £85million. Backthen and now the question that will be asked is where will such ahuge sum come from. The next step of the present SteeringCommittee is to persuade the States to find some of the money atleast. There is a hope that private developers may be encouraged tocome on board and partly fund some of the development work.Having published their plans, the Steering Group would welcomepublic feedback on what is proposed. Islanders can visit Fort Regentto view the plans in detail and there is a dedicated Facebookpage for comments.u



Fort RegenthistoricIt was the Battle of Jersey in 1781 that helped underline theneed for a more modern and better-located fortification todefend the Island. Elizabeth Castle, which was Jersey’s principalfortification at the time, had proved to be isolated from theevents that shook the Island on that January day. It had beenunable to prevent the French landing, marching on St Helier andseizing the town. Any soldiers stationed at the castle would needto wait for a low tide to reach the shore, by which time St Heliercould have been in flames.

During the decisive battle fought in the Royal Square, Britishsoldiers and Jersey Militia had climbed Mont de la Villeoverlooking town to fire down on the French forces below. Themilitary value of these commanding heights was obvious. TheIsland’s then Governor, General Conway, had already begun theprocess of planning and building new coastal defences. One ofhis successors would complete the job by adding Fort Regent asthe formidable keystone in the arch.

General Sir George Don, whose grand statue stands today inParade Gardens, laid Fort Regent’s foundation stone on 7November 1806. The work was completed eight years later in1814. The new fortification towering about St Helier, namedafter the Prince Regent, was truly state of the art for its time. Thelatest military thinking had gone into crafting its bastions,redans, ditches and outworks so as to create impenetrable killingzones. More than 100 cannon could be mounted on its rampartsand inside casemates. Within its massive walls, there wasaccommodation for more than one thousand soldiers.

Although the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815 (the year afterthe Fort’s completion), Fort Regent remained the Island’sprincipal fortification and centre of garrison life during the yearsthat followed. During the 19th century, its armamentprogressively declined in strength and areas of the Fort fell outof use. By the start of the First World War, it possessed onlyceremonial guns, although nearby South Hill mounted twomodern 6-inch coastal artillery pieces. The Fort’s prime purposewas as barracks, a role into continued to fulfil until 1932 whenthe last British Army garrison left.

During the Second World War, the Germans used the Fort as acamp to hold forced labourers and as a mounting for a numberof anti-aircraft guns.
