Local News Roundup
Words by Guilia Heath, News Editor from Channel 103, news@jerseyweekly.com
Syvret Jailed Former Senator Stuart Syvret was last week behind bars after failing to carry out his community service. The ex-Health Minister was sent to prison for eight weeks. He had previously been sentenced to complete 80 hours’ community service for contempt of court. The Probation Service told the court that Mr Syvret had not kept any of his appointments or done a single hour of the work. Assistant Magistrate Bridget Shaw imposed a jail sentence, and Mr Syvret was taken immediately to HMP La Moye. The hearing looked like being the culmination of a long and drawn-out legal process, which began when police raided Mr Syvret’s home in 2009 and arrested him on suspicion of breaching the Data Protection Law. Later in the year he left the Island, claiming “political asylum” in the UK, but was finally sentenced in November 2010 after he returned to Jersey. At the time of going to print, Mr Syvret was appealing against the punishment.
Century-old store to close SA historic Jersey furniture store announced last week that it is to close. Le Gallais, which has occupied the corner of Bath Street for more than 100 years, will close shortly before Christmas. Six people will lose their jobs when the firm shuts. It is the fourth major furniture store to close in Jersey in the last two years, following the demise of Home Ideas, The Loft, and Rooms.
Director Tim Le Gallais blamed the decision to cease trading on the declining sales of furniture, and the continuing recession. It had been a popular shop which served generations of Islanders and even survived a huge fire in 1954 which gutted the building. However, the premises will not be empty for very long as UK retailer The Entertainer, which has dozens of shops in Britain, will move in before next Easter. The move will create 15 jobs. Managing director Gary Grant told Channel 103 he believed there was demand for another toy shop in Jersey following the closure of Woolworths and 101 Toys. He said it was ‘more than just a toy shop’, with steps in front of the tills and pre-paid account cards so that children can make their own purchases.
Warning issued to dog owners Dog owners were last week warned not to let their pets mix with other dogs following an outbreak of a potentially deadly stomach illness in Jersey and Guernsey.
Three teens escape cliff plunge Three teenagers had a miraculous escape when the car they were in veered off the road at Archirondel and plunged ten metres down a steep bank. The vehicle came to rest on its roof against a tree, which stopped it from rolling on to the rocks below. Firefighters were called to the scene at 11.40pm on Friday 4th November. They used rescue lines to bring the casualties to safety. A 19-year-old man, 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl were taken to hospital for treatment. Police said the driver had suffered a broken wrist, while the two passengers’ injuries were more serious, but not critical. Watch Commander Chris Love said that the youths had been involved in a very serious incident, but that it would have been a lot worse had the car rolled from its resting place onto the rocks.
survey of radon levels in homes across the Channel Islands. The radioactive gas, which is found in granite, has been linked to lung cancer. Homes have been selected at random to take part in the survey and they will be sent detectors to put up for three months. Anyone who is not chosen to take part, but who wants a testing kit, can buy one from Environmental Health for £35.
New home for airport sculpture More than two years after being unceremoniously removed from the airport departures hall, the sculpture of birds taking flight is going back on show. It was announced last week that Decollage is going to become the centrepiece of the airport roundabout. The £45,000 sculpture was recently discovered neglected in a field on the north coast.
Probes into cancer threats
That sparked outrage, and the Economic Development Minister Senator Alan Maclean said he would investigate.
Local vets said they had been inundated with calls from concerned Islanders.
An independent study is going to be carried out into Jersey’s high cancer rates.
He suggested it could go on the roundabout if £9,000 could be found to pay for the move.
Two dogs had died from gastroenteritis. There had also been a case of Parvo Virus in the Island, which causes severe vomiting and diarrhoea.
The States agreed to fund research into why some strains of the disease are more common here in the Island than in the south west of England.
Barchester Healthcare, which is developing the nearby Lakeside Manor residential home, is putting up the cash to install it.
Vets from the New Era practice were advising pet owners to make sure their dog’s vaccines were up-to-date, and avoid gatherings with other animals.
Outgoing Deputy Paul Le Claire had been pushing for the investigation as part of a study into the levels of radon gas.
Spokesman Geoff Pride said it was a fitting location for the sculpture, and he was looking forward to the community being able to enjoy it again.
The Health Minister, deputy Anne Pryke said the separate study could cost around £40,000.
AC Mauger will be doing the work, and the artwork will be illuminated.
The JSPCA postponed its charity dog walk scheduled for Sunday 6th November until later this month.
A few days earlier, the Health department had announced a
An unveiling ceremony was being planned for 14th November.

HSBC Staff Get Creative in Support of NSPCC Pathways’ Early Play Programme
fantastic. A lot of thoughts and care went into every one of the bags and they each will be used by local families who need help interacting with their children. We and all the parents who visit Pathways really appreciate the effort HSBC staff have put into this initiative.” Nick Winsor, chief executive officer, HSBC Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, added: “I am delighted that so many of our staff have embraced our partnership with the NSPCC in Jersey and got involved in a project that will make a real difference to local families. We believe that education plays a vital role in developing communities so being able to team up with the NSPCC in this way fits absolutely with our desire to have a positive impact on the local community. I look forward to supporting further Pathways initiatives.”
Working together to meet the needs of our community
On behalf of the Council of Ministers, the Chief Minister Senator Terry Le Sueur has recently issued the latest Strategic Plan Implementation progress report (R.128/2011), which summarises the work achieved over the period to 30 September 2011 within the framework of the Strategic Plan approved by the States in 2009. Staff at HSBC have created and donated over 50 new ‘interactive story bags’ aimed at helping teach parents to better interact with their young children, as part of an initiative coordinated by NSPCC Pathways in Jersey. Each bag contains a range of books, toys and other materials to encourage parents to have fun while interacting with their children. To embrace the initiative, HSBC challenged staff to come up with the most creative and useful bags possible. The bags were then distributed to parents and children in Jersey.
Against a backdrop of severe financial constraint, the structure given by the ‘Strategic Plan’ has helped the Island cope with unprecedented challenges and change – and will continue to do so. Adjustments have had to be made, in both the public and private sectors, to cope with the length and severity of the ongoing economic downturn; however much of what of the Council of Ministers set out to achieve with the ‘Strategic Plan ‘has been accomplished or set in motion during its 3 year term of office. In that plan, the Council of Ministers put together a document – with the vision of ‘working together to meet the needs of the community’ – which would focus the efforts of all States Departments in a number of key areas:
The Bank’s involvement with the Early Play Programme forms part of HSBC’s new partnership with NSPCC Pathways Jersey, which was officially launched in September and that will see • Enabling people to reach their full potential the Bank and its staff support a range of the charity’s activities • Meeting our health, housing and education challenges throughout the coming year. • Preparing for the ageing society • Protecting the countryside and our environment The Pathways Centre, located at Samares, provides wide• Creating a responsive and efficient government. ranging parenting support and activities for parents and their preschool children in the Le Squez area, in particular giving To meet these goals 16 priorities were established, many of expectant parents and their babies and children the opportunity which required a number of departments to work together so to play, learn and share with others in a safe environment. that the services provided were meeting the needs of all sectors of the community.

that the departments have been able to achieve, especially given that the tasks which faced them, including the economic downturn, the necessary reform of public service while reducing costs and protecting the most vulnerable in society, were so enormous. Although there is no room for complacency, a great deal of work has been done.” Among the important achievements meeting the priorities of the Strategic Plan are: • • • • • •
Approval of new laws controlling work and housing to ensure population and immigration objectives are met Over £20 million made available to advance capital infrastructure and maintenance projects and Economic Stimulus Funding initiatives made available in a number of areas Advance to Work, Advance Plus and apprenticeship schemes established A phased increase in the pension age, reaching 67 by 2031 Consultation, approval and implementation of the 2011 Island Plan, which seeks to achieve countryside protection, wise use of resources and urban regeneration The Comprehensive Spending Review has targeted £65 million savings across the public sector.
Acting Chief Executive John Richardson said: “By definition, the Strategic Plan is designed to take a long term view and as such there is much still to do. The departments have been extremely honest in their appraisal of the work done so far and the fact that much of it is ongoing. There are certainly projects which have not been completed but this report shows that in all the areas laid down by the Council of Ministers, we have moved in the right direction and, importantly, are still doing so.” Work is ongoing in a number of sectors. Among these are the following: • • • • • • •
2012 Business Plan will continue the work towards balanced budgets by 2013, as agreed in the 2011 Budget A review of population policy Explore options to encourage older workers to work for longer The continuing development of lifelong homes, welfare visits to elderly and vulnerable States residents and work on the Regulation of Care Law A review of Health and Social Services to ensure delivery of sustainable health services The review of Social Housing Taking forward the draft Energy Policy.
‘Forest School’ initiative at St Luke’s Primary School. ‘Forest School’ is an innovative educational approach to outdoor play and learning to inspire individuals through positive outdoor experiences in a safe and nurturing environment whilst providing a unique learning experience. Children use tools, play, learn boundaries of behaviour; both physical and social, establish and grow in confidence, self-esteem and become self motivated. Once a week a different group of up to nine children aged between four and eleven from St Luke’s Primary School visit St Saviour’s woods to carry out activities including shelter building, tool skills and environmental art. Appleby’s support has enabled St Luke’s to purchase the required equipment for these visits such as waterproof clothing and tools for the children to use. Caryn Stone, Head Teacher at St Luke’s Primary School commented: “We are happy to be working with Appleby again. The teachers and children would like to thank Appleby for their generous contribution enabling us to buy the equipment needed for the children to explore their local outdoor environment. Every child in the school benefited from the ‘Forest School’ experience last year and we hope to continue with this initiative.” David Benest, Jersey Office Managing Partner of Appleby added: “We are very pleased to be able to offer our support to such an excellent initiative. It is a great opportunity for children to experiment and learn about the natural environment. This contribution forms part of our ongoing commitment to community-based sport and educational projects and initiatives in Jersey.”

“The new Council of Ministers will have its own opinion on how it wishes to meet the priorities of its term of office but I believe that we have set the building blocks in place to meet the challenges that they will face,” said Senator Le Sueur.

Mike Parsons, Founder and Chief Executive of Barchester Healthcare, said his company was delighted to be returning such a popular piece of art to its intended home. He said: “We are happy to play a part in restoring the missing mallard sculpture back to its former glory opposite our new care home, Lakeside Manor and Pavilions, which opens this spring. I think we all agree that ducks by Lakeside is a good ending to this story.”

Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean acknowledged Barchester’s support of the project. He said: “Demand for the reinstatement of the sculpture has been very strong, quite understandably, over recent months. It is the right of society to enjoy public art and government’s responsibility to ensure the built environment meets these requirements. I am delighted that Barchester Healthcare have been able to provide the funding for the necessary works within their development brief. It is very welcome news for the Airport, its users and the wider community.”

Relocation of Police headquarters
The lighting and electrical supply to the roundabout has been supported by Jersey Airport and a contribution from the Le Fondré family. In addition, the project has the full support of both the Parish of St Peter and the Minister for TTS. St Peter Constable, John Refault, said: “Barchester Healthcare’s collaboration is extremely timely. It is a clear demonstration to residents and neighbours of the responsible approach they have taken throughout the entire project.” Lakeside Manor will provide residential and nursing services, as well as dedicated dementia care. Around 100 new jobs will be created at the care home. The building was designed by architect Robert Adam.

The Political Steering Group formed by the Treasury and Resources Minister to oversee the delivery of a new Police headquarters has held its third meeting on 31st October 2011. After considering a number of possible sites for a new police station, the group has now identified what it believes is the most suitable States-owned site. Working closely with the Police and specialists in police buildings, the project team has carried out substantial preliminary design work which has identified the open section of Green Street car park on Route du Fort as a site which could meet all the needs of the States of Jersey Police. The Treasury Minister, Senator Philip Ozouf, said “This site can accommodate all the police requirements in a single place and will provide new facilities within a purpose built headquarters constructed to the latest building and environmental standards. It will also support improved ways of working within the Police and significantly reduce the overall use of space.

“The previous Lime Grove solution meant locating the Police across two sites and refurbishing the existing Rouge Bouillon Police station. “The Route du Fort project will not only meet the currently allocated budget, it will also free up the whole of the Summerland site and part of the Rouge Bouillon site for housing. From a financial perspective, I believe this solution is superior to the Lime Grove option.
Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy
“The work we have done so far has identified this as the preferred option. This now needs to be the subject of more detailed feasibility work and the planning process.” There will be a full public consultation with those people who are likely to be affected by the proposed development and the Minister has begun the process of working with local deputies and the Parish on the detail of the proposal. Consultation with neighbours will take place as the planning process moves forward. Chief Officer, States of Jersey Police, Mike Bowron said: “After many years of living in inadequate and inappropriate accommodation, I am delighted that a solution appears to have been found to relocate the States of Jersey Police to purposebuilt, new headquarters. I am particularly pleased for all those at the States of Jersey Police as this development will provide the kind of working environment they deserve to deliver modern policing in Jersey. “I do believe that the presence of a new Police headquarters will be a benefit to the area and I will personally commit to meet with neighbours to explain the plans and discuss any concerns as part of the consultation process.” This option also supports the States office strategy, which has been developed to promote flexible ways of working in properties which are space efficient and cost effective, freeing up redundant sites for alternative use. In addition, the project is expected to provide a valuable stimulus for the construction industry during what continues to be a difficult economic time. Senator Ozouf added “This single site proposal will prove to be a better solution for the police, deliver better value for the States of Jersey, release more land for housing and provide a purpose built environmentally efficient headquarters for the Police.” The Political Steering Group will meet early in December to review progress. It is anticipated that a planning application will be submitted by the end of February 2012. It is hoped to begin construction before the end of 2012 and to complete this by the end of 2014.
Image PR helps students to manage their nerves. Jersey’s sixth formers will be taking part in Image PR’s Public Speaking Challenge Trophy workshops, which begin tomorrow. They are being held at Jersey College for Girls, Victoria College, Beaulieu and Hautlieu schools over the next two weeks and will teach the pupils techniques for speaking confidently and effectively in public. The workshops will also help students who want to compete for the Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy at St James Centre on the 26th November. The half-day workshops include videos of the best and worst speeches, confidence-boosting games, and top tips to for an effective presentation. Peter Zunino, the workshop leader, said: “Our aim is to change students perceptions of public speaking – lost of people are scared of it, but we can provide a solution to that fear. By showing the biggest mistakes of public speaking, they can identify what not to do, and the positive videos will point out what makes a truly great speaker. This is the third year that we’ve run the workshops and they are always a lot of fun. We create an informal atmosphere so that all students feel comfortable and learn a lot.” The public speaking competition will take place on the 26th November at St James Centre, when lower-sixth formers will try out their skills in front of an audience. Each school will pick a maximum of four students to participate in the final event, where the trophy and a prize of £150 in iQ vouchers will be given to the overall winner, and runners-up will be presented with certificates in bronze, silver or gold.

Bedell Trust launches Bedell Management services (Mauritius) Ltd
TIEA with India is a welcome development
Bedell Trust is strengthening its presence in Mauritius, widely recognised as an increasingly sophisticated international finance centre.
Bedell Management Services (Mauritius) Limited is a full service management company, providing corporate, trust and fund administration services. Its range of expertise complements the legal advice provided by Bedell Cristin (Mauritius) Partnership, which opened in November 2010 and has swiftly established itself in the region for its expertise in handling complex cross-border transactions. Bedell Management Services (Mauritius) Limited will be led by Yuvraj Juwaheer, who has over 15 years’ experience in the global finance business sector. Yuvraj was a member of the Mauritian government steering committee set up in 2004 to consider opening the island to international law firms, and was an independent director on the board of a number of Indian funds. He and his team offer a potent combination of local knowledge and the wider, worldwide resources of Bedell. “Mauritius is a key location for Bedell Trust. OECD ‘whitelist’ status recognises its adherence to best international financial standards, it benefits from many double tax treaties and is a politically stable base for investment into the attractive markets of India, Africa and the Far East,” says Yuvraj. “Bedell Trust’s clients have been showing a keen interest in the services we can provide from Mauritius.” He adds that Bedell Trust’s worldwide recognition as a leader in its field opens many doors in the region. Commenting on the opening of Bedell Management Services (Mauritius), Michael Richardson, Executive Chairman of Bedell Trust said, “Our strong presence in Mauritius is of great value to clients hoping to invest in South Africa, India and the Far East. Yuvraj’s extensive experience and unmatchable local network provide considerable benefits to our clients and to our business worldwide.” Selected, in 2011, for the Top 25 Most Admired Companies list compiled by Private Client Practitioner, Bedell Trust has recently been named Owner-Managed Trust Team of the Year in the STEP Private Client Awards 2011/12.

The signing of the Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) with India is a welcome development in Jersey’s progress in establishing closer commercial ties with the country. Geoff Cook, chief executive, Jersey Finance Limited, commented: “For the last five years or so Jersey Finance has been building its links with India by hosting visits in which we showcase our services and highlight the quality of our regulatory regime. Senior politicians and regulators have joined us on some of our trips to meet formally with Government officials and regulators in India. Earlier this year, Jersey Finance cemented its presence further by appointing representatives in both Mumbai and Delhi.” “The signing of the TIEA is a boost to that growing commercial relationship and from an industry perspective gives further confidence to practitioners in both Jersey and India that there is mutual recognition about the quality of the standards of compliance and co-operation between regulators and tax authorities.’” Jersey remains well placed to provide the investment vehicles to conduit international capital into India for the infrastructure projects it undertakes. It possesses similar company entities to enable Indian businesses to expand internationally and access capital on foreign exchanges, including the London Stock Exchange and it has investment structures which are ideal for servicing the needs of the growing high net worth sector in India

Condor 10 completes 5,000 mile journey to new home in South Korea
Standard Bank Jersey has received industry recognition in the 2011 Citywire Wealth Manager Performance Awards as one of the top performers in the ‘Best Small Firm’ category. Standard Bank was one of 65 firms that entered the awards and one of four shortlisted in this category which judged those firms with assets under management of less than £1.5bn. The Awards focus entirely on quantitative performance and recognise only the most skilled investors in the discretionary investment manager community. Each nominated company was judged on its three year risk-adjusted performance from July 2008 to June 2011. Haydn Taylor, Head of Institutional Clients at Standard Bank, said: “These awards are highly regarded in the discretionary investment manager sector and we are thrilled to be shortlisted amongst some very established names in the industry. This recognition is testament to the expertise within our Asset Management team who have autonomy in investment decision making which is carried out here in Jersey. “Our asset allocation policy is driven by Tony Wood, the Head of Investment Strategy, who chairs a small focused committee made up of four other product specialists, Andy McGuigan, David Jardine, Karl Holden and David Gorman. This enables decisions to be made swiftly if required, although asset allocation changes are generally strategic, with more frequent tactical adjustments made within the underlying asset classes.
Condor Ferries’ 74m ferry Condor 10 will be setting up home over 5,000 miles from the Channel Islands this week as she takes up service on an internal Korean ferry route. Condor 10 has been sold by Condor Ferries, who replaced the 74m ferry with Condor Rapide, a larger 86m ferry which began service between the Channel Islands, France and the UK, last year. Manned by Condor Ferries crew - who have many years’ experience - the ferry embarked on her 25-day journey at the end of September, and has now made it safely to her new home in Asia. The epic journey first took Condor 10 and the crew from Weymouth to a refuelling stop in Malta, then on to Port Said, Suez to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and onto Colombo. From there the crew sailed to Singapore, and then to their final destination of Pusan in South Korea via the Luzon Straight.
He added: “We are very pleased that the strategies for which we have been recognised are particularly appropriate to the Trustee community in the island. We manage a significant number of portfolios for a large number of locally based Trust Companies and Private Trusts in addition to a thriving number of Private Clients, both local and internationally based developed by a longstanding team with a 20 year history.”
Steve Bailey, Jersey Director at Condor Ferries, said: “We are pleased to have found a new home for Condor 10. The journey was a great challenge for the crew who navigated some very difficult waters to deliver the ferry to its new home, so it’s great to see them all back safely and to know that Condor 10 will continue to provide a much-needed service for travellers in South Korea.

Condor 10 was the first car-carrying fast ferry to serve the Channel Islands when she started operating on the Weymouth to Channel Islands route in April 1993. In 2010, the much larger 86m Condor Rapide was added to Condor Ferries’ fleet of fast ferries and the 74m ferry was taken out of service.
Prime Property as an Asset Second only to Gold, Says Visiting Property Expert
James Thompson went on to add that more than 50 per cent of buyers of London prime property are from overseas and that due to the weaker Sterling, those buying in Euros or US Dollars are making significant savings on purchases. With London prices predicted to rise by as much as 30 per cent by the end of 2015, investments in this asset class may prove fruitful for those who can compete in this market, particularly if exchange rates continue to play in their favour. He also pointed out that since 2000, prime central London residential property has performed incredibly well, with gold being one of the few asset classes to outperform it.
Prime central London residential property as an asset class has provided investors one of the highest returns of all classes over the last decade, said a visiting property expert recently. James Thompson, partner of Knight Frank LLP, addressed an audience of around 100 trust and legal professionals at a Barclays Wealth property seminar at Grand Jersey last month. Also on the panel were Knight Frank LLP partners, Michael Wilson and Harry Morten and Phil Spencer of Channel 4 television programme, Location, Location, Location. The seminar, organised by Barclays Wealth as an insight into this key asset class, was designed to stimulate thought-provoking discussion on a topical area, which is an increasingly important element of many investment portfolios. “The property seminar is one of a series of thought leadership events which we have been running in Jersey for our clients and follows similar Barclays Wealth seminars on the topics of Russia and India, with another event focusing on client philanthropy planned for early next year,” said Paul Savery, managing director, Barclays Wealth Intermediaries and International Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man. “Property is a widely held asset class and one which invokes emotion and attracts more interest than most. The event was not intended to be about the Barclays Wealth house view on whether clients should buy, sell or hold, but rather to provoke debate by bringing a range of experts together to provide their views on UK residential and commercial property markets as well as provide a whistle stop tour of European real estate.”

As part of this tour of Europe, Michael Wilson, demonstrated that London prime property is affordable when compared to some other key European destinations with prime properties currently selling at around €35,000 - €40,000 per square metre in Courchevel, France and prices in Paris (7th, 8th and 6th Arrondissements) reaching €15,000 - €20,000 per square metre. In Monaco prime locations are currently securing as much as €50,000 - €70,000 per square metre, a value which was eloquently translated for the audience as “paying about €100,000 for a two square metres household bath.”
Commercial property was also on the agenda with Harry Morten pointing to the percentage yield differences between prime commercial and what is considered ‘secondary’ commercial, and how this has increased significantly since the 2007 credit crunch. High yield generally means high risk, and Mr Morten spent a large proportion of his time explaining how to qualify whether an opportunity or existing investment is prime or secondary, and what the main focus areas should be for the investor. The main message? Stick to prime. Prime generally means Central London, and whilst there is a glut of office space in London today, current stock and shortage of speculative builds is expected to lead to a real shortage of space in 2014. “The seminar has provided us all with a great insight into what is happening in the prime property market in London and Europe. Many of our guests found the case studies and data profiling buyers , trends and expected trends in values across the very top of the market in Europe especially interesting, particularly as this type of information is not readily available through conventional sources for much of Europe as it is in the UK.” said Aidan McAvinue, Barclays Wealth.

The Guernsey-based management team of Channel Islands Fuels said that the sale would allow it to focus more on the specific needs of the islands, but still with the support of a multi-national business. Total Channel Islands Director and General Manager Antony Harding said: “This is very positive news for the Channel Islands. Customers will not notice any immediate change, apart from our new name and brand and we will be able to focus on providing the quality products and services the islands require”. Customers on the islands will not see the Total brand disappear completely from their shores as a number of the islands’ forecourts will continue to trade under the Total brand. The company has been established in Guernsey for over 40 years, originally trading as Sarnia Oil. Total Jersey has also undergone several name changes over the years, starting with Channel Oil Marketing over 30 years ago. Antony Harding continued, “DCC’s energy businesses are customer focused and I am convinced there is much we can learn from each other. The whole team is looking forward to working with this impressive group”.
Evolving Security Issues a Major Concern to Channel Islands Businesses
These are key findings in the 2012 PwC, CIO magazine and CSO magazine’s ‘Global State of Information Security Survey’®, and local security specialist Matthew Parker, a manager at PwC Channel Islands, believes these issues are of vital importance to businesses in the Channel Islands. The 9th annual survey of more than 9,600 security executives from 138 countries found that 72 percent of respondents report confidence in the effectiveness of their organisation’s information security activities. However, confidence has declined markedly since 2006. The findings of the survey have also indentified a shift in the definition of businesses classed as ‘information security leaders’. And even though 43 percent still see themselves as “front-runners,” according to the survey only 13 percent made the “leader” cut. Those identified as leaders have an overall information security strategy in place, a CIO or executive equivalent who reports to the “top of the house,” measured and reviewed security policy effectiveness, and an understanding of the security breaches facing the organisation in the past year. According to the survey, the rise of cloud computing has improved but also complicated the security landscape. More than four out of ten respondents report that their organisation uses cloud computing: 69 percent for software-as-a-service, 47 percent for infrastructure-as-a-service and 33 percent for platform-as-a-service. Fifty-four percent of organisations say that cloud technologies have improved security; while 23 percent say it has increased vulnerability. The largest perceived risk is the uncertain ability to enforce provider security policies. Matthew Parker said: “Businesses in Jersey and Guernsey should sit up and take note of the findings of this survey. For instance, it is clear that there is a real need to perform effective reviews of cloud service providers. Companies need to ensure they are absolutely comfortable with the level of control in place with whoever they are hosting data with - this should form a standard part of the due diligence process when assessing the risks to corporate information.” Mobile devices and social media represent a significant new line of risk – and a demand for risk management solutions. The use of these devices and information sharing tools is increasing exponentially, yet though organisations are beginning to amplify their efforts to prevent attacks, more than half of all respondents report their organisation don’t yet have a security strategy for employee use of personal devices, including mobile devices, or the use of social media.
Data breaches caused by business partners or suppliers are on the rise; the use of cloud computing is improving information security efforts; and the use of mobile devices and social media continues to be a challenge for most organisations.
Managing information security-related risks associated with partners, vendors and suppliers has always been an issue and according to this year’s survey it is getting worse. Seventeen percent of respondents identify customers as the source of security breaches, up slightly from last year (12 percent), whilst 15 percent have identified partners or suppliers as the source. “A growing number of staff at businesses in the Channel Islands use mobile devices for work, and internal staff remain the biggest threat to information security. However, organisations should not overlook their exposure to security breaches through third parties, such as service providers,” commented Mr Parker.

Money & Investments Roundup Compiled by Marcus Quinn, news@jerseyweekly.com
austerity and reform are to have any hope of succeeding”.
James McKeigue, Money Week Across the river from the City
Europe’s crisis gets worse Last week the eurozone’s leaders told us Europe was saved. This week, it became clear that it’s not. Europe’s main problem is too much debt that can’t be paid off. The other problem is political instability. This week the Greek PM George Papandreou announced a shock referendum on his country’s bailout package. A horrified France and Germany forced him to drop the referendum by threatening to withdraw funding. But it was a stark reminder that this crisis is far from over. When “Papandreou pulls a stunt like this”, says John Stepek on Thursday, you can understand why “Merkel and Sarkozy and the rest” go nuts. But they may not yet appreciate “that this referendum could be the best chance the eurozone has of remaining intact”. “The problem in Greece is that the pain is being imposed by someone else. Other Europeans might feel that they’re being very decent in stumping up for this bailout package. But the Greeks [just] see the fall-out, the cutbacks, the rioting. And they don’t feel as though they signed up for that. They feel as if it’s being dictated to them by high-handed German officials, or some other unaccountable European bureaucrats.” “Asking your voters if they’d like to submit to another round of painful wage cuts, rioting in the streets, and general economic stagnation, doesn’t sound like the smartest political strategy.” But “the population needs to buy into this sort of pain if
There are no easy answers though, as John points out, “even if Greece sticks with the euro, the region faces a world of trouble”. In turn, that’s bad news for Europe’s beleaguered banks. James Ferguson takes another in-depth look at the sector in this week’s MoneyWeek magazine. Yet there are still ways to make money. Subscribers can read about them in this article on moneyweek.com: ‘The toxic fallout from Europe’s banking crisis’ What’s more, Europe’s woes should also see the single currency lose ground against the dollar. My colleague David Stevenson tipped ways to benefit from such a move a few months ago. They’re still valid – you can read the piece at moneyweek.com in: ‘Will the US dollar rise from the dead?’
The markets look ugly… Here’s a surprise, though. “It doesn’t feel like it, but October was actually the best month in the stock market since 1974”, says Dominic Frisby on Wednesday in: ‘How much further will stock markets fall?’ But it won’t last, he says. In fact, “it looks extremely ugly out there”. On one hand, “we have shrinking economies, job losses, real incomes falling, credit contracting, insolvent, undercapitalised banks – huge deflationary forces, in other words”. But on the other, we have huge inflationary forces like “quantitative easing (QE), zero interest rates, negative real rates, high and rising prices, and European leaders who have tried to solve the Greek debt crisis with a proposal for more debt and greater leverage”. The solution to the debt crisis, says Dominic, would be to let insolvent institutions and countries fail, take the required hit and then move on. “But this isn’t going to happen. Our leaders are too obsessed
with intervention and re-election to let it happen. People expect them to act. If they do something and it doesn’t work, they have to do more, not less.” “More and more money is going to be found somehow and thrown down the black hole of southern Europe, and wherever the debt crisis pays its next visit. And, just as they do in Japan, zombies shall walk the earth.” All of this will put immense pressure on our ‘fiat’ system of money, says Dominic. So his advice remains just the same as before. Hold on to your gold as a genuine store of wealth.
Great value insurance stocks to buy now Of course, gold isn’t the only way to protect your wealth in a crisis. There are still some great value stocks around. We’ve been tipping defensives for a while. And on Friday David Stevenson ran the slide rule over the insurance sector. Share prices have been falling here, and he doesn’t thinks that’s fair. “The most obvious reason is that [insurers] are being tarred with the same brush as the banks. Investors are worried that insurance company balance sheets contain a number of toxic assets, such as dodgy eurozone debt.” Insurers also face regulatory headaches. There is a danger that regulators will decide that insurers need to raise more capital though new shares. This would dilute existing holders, says David. “On top of all that, it’s been an expensive year. A spate of natural disasters around the world has lifted claims and payouts.” But some share prices in the sector are now so cheap, they’re surely ‘pricing in’ any bad news. That’s backed up by good results this week from two leading UK insurers. To find out David’s best bets see his latest articles on moneyweek.com

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is a forum of 34 countries tasked with promoting economic growth and world trade. In 2002, the ‘OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters’ was drawn up, and the Global Forum is charged with implementing these ‘standards of transparency’ ensuring - through peer review and monitoring that members comply The Global Forum for Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes - and even in acronym form; (GFTEITP), it’s a mouthful - conducts it’s peer reviews in two phases. The first phase is concerned with summarising the regulatory framework in place in the jurisdiction - such as, in this case Jersey - and the second phase takes in the practical action taken to see that the regulations are actually followed. Supplementary reports are used to ensure that any recommendations made as a result of previous reviews are followed; to assess the responsiveness, and hopefully, compliance of the subject OEDC nation. The award winning magazine ‘OEDC Observer’ reported that Jersey and Guernsey had agreed to commit to cooperation regarding tax information sharing with OEDC countries back in 2002. Previously to this commitment, both Channel Islands had met the technical criteria for being regarded as a tax haven. To avoid being listed as ‘uncooperative tax havens’ the Islands were thus required to participate in the Global Forum. This could be seen as a huge step for Jersey. There has seemingly always been a stigma attached to the Island regarding it’s taxation - the media picture and general identity of Jersey elsewhere in the world is that of a ‘Millionaires’ Island’. It has been claimed that the tax structure, and even the housing law here was established to deliberately exploit the unwillingness of the wealthy to pay taxes. The apparent ability of our Government to attract foreign plutocrats by offering them safe evasion of their ‘home’ tax laws - plus it’s self promotion as an offshore financial centre - all combined with media stories of ‘fingers-in-pies’ and shady dealings at the top levels of the Island’s major industries all added fuel to the fire. The man on the street is seemingly (by this writer’s personal observation) constantly in discussion about the alleged “criminal money - stashed in Jersey”. Whilst very strict laws and regulations are in place to ensure that this isn’t true, the fact is that sensationalist opinions like these spread very easily. It all contributes to Jersey’s image as, what the UK’s

Global Forum for Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes
most popular economics ‘blogger’ - Richard Murphy, calls a ‘Secrecy Jurisdiction’. The view is widely held. Mr Murphy was fast to comment on his ‘Tax Research UK’ blog in July this year, when a draft copy of phase two of Jersey’s then current peer review “fell into (his) inbox” - as he put it. He called it “damning of Jersey”, and quoted several points from the report, before summarising that “What is clear is that Jersey is a long way from being the transparent place it claims to be.” However, the latest peer review conducted has altogether more positive things to say about Jersey. It described; “practices which to date have demonstrated a responsive and co-operative approach” - and went further to explain that Jersey had responded to criticism in the earlier review with speed and efficiency. This, it asserted, is; “a marked contrast to the time taken in these matters by other countries.” Jersey has subsequently responded to eighty-four requests to exchange tax information, thirty six of those at the time of review. This prompted the Forum to describe Jersey’s response as “effective and expeditious”. Further to this, Jersey is currently a non-OECD jurisdiction, and although as such it is not required to be reviewed, it has become one of only two non OECD nations to volunteer for the assessment. Not the usual move of a ‘Secret Jurisdiction’ one would imagine. Speaking on the ‘good report’ Jersey had received, Geoff Cook, Chief Executive of Jersey Finance Limited said; “So often we hear detractors make misleading claims that Jersey is secretive and uncooperative, and yet the truth, based on hard evidence, is very different. An independent, specially formed global body set up by the OECD countries, which is able to delve closely into our procedures and ask probing questions of our officials, shows clearly that Jersey is responsive and cooperative.” Jersey met six of the nine standards under scrutiny, and the States have begun implementing changes to ensure the Island is fully compliant in the near future. Assessors had in fact noted that where “gaps in the process” occurred, it hasn’t prevented exchange of information.

From the report; “Jersey has shown a willingness to develop its laws and procedures to reflect best practices appropriate to its circumstances and has accepted the need to review its domestic laws to ensure the removal of any provisions which may affect its ability to meet the requirements of the standard.” “To date these provisions have not had the effect of hampering Jersey’s ability to access information for EOI requests, nevertheless this observation is made in the context of Jersey’s limited experience in exercising the powers. Jersey is in the process of amending the access powers legislation in a manner that will take into account the issues identified in this report.” A step in the right direction for Jersey’s international image, and a timely one, given the need to build relationships with fast developing economies in this tough financial climate.

Webwatch Hawksford: www.hawksford.com Words // Lisa Gutcher • Feature Design // Jon Moore
Jersey based trust company, Hawksford, has launched a revamped website, which has been designed and built by MerchantCantos.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, Hawksford, previously Hawksford International, commissioned a significant piece of client and competitor benchmarking, with the results informing a wellconsidered brand re-fresh, of which the new website forms a part. This brand re-fresh has recently been shortlisted for the Best Brand award at the forthcoming Jersey CIM awards. As part of this process, Hawksford has developed a business philosophy ‘thinking beyond tomorrow’, which is also the company’s new positioning statement. There is an entire sub section of the website dedicated to ‘thinking beyond tomorrow’, enabling clients to understand this underlying ethos which is shared across the business. ‘Thinking about tomorrow’ encourages Hawksford’s people to think differently for clients and plan structures that will not only meet their present short-term objectives, but be flexible enough to address the future needs of generations to come. Led by research data, Hawksford has developed a series of sub-brand identities to ensure that both clients and intermediaries alike have a clear understanding of the comprehensive range of services and bespoke services the business offers. These include Hawksford Fiduciary, Hawksford Law, Hawksford Family Office, Hawksford Wills and Probate, Hawksford Funds, Hawksford Employee Solutions, Hawksford Media and Sports, Hawksford Advisory, Hawksford Succession Planning and the company’s Swiss offering, L-S&S GmbH. As users browse through the site, the colours and brand images change, dependent on which of these sub-brand areas the page resides in. This clear navigation makes using the site to find out key information incredibly easy, even for those who know little about Hawksford when landing on the home page. Also featured within the site is a full database of all of the 130 staff at Hawksford, giving an in depth look into their roles and responsibilities, as well as an insight into their interests and hobbies outside of work. The corporate brand imagery Hawksford uses throughout the site is intended to be refreshingly different to the standard corporate imagery promoted throughout the trust sector. The company’s brand and client philosophy helps it to stand out from the crowd as it brings to life ‘thinking beyond tomorrow’ through brand imagery which consists of real (local, Jersey) people, undertaking aspirational and innovative activities. The site has been built to be accessible on all of the main internet browsers, as well as on products such as tablet devices and smart phones. It is ready to adapt to future browsing requirements, with technology that is also ‘thinking beyond tomorrow’.

Demystifying the Social Media Revolution Words // Rebecca Seller • Feature Design // Jon Moore
Social Media has changed the way businesses and individuals communicate. A recent conference called Social Jersey was aimed at clarifying what social media means for businesses; whether a large multinational or smaller local business. Two respected International speakers shared their knowledge on how social media can be used to grow businesses, increase your online search rankings and how to avoid a PR disaster.

The one day conference was organised by Katherine Salt, a local Social Media Marketing Consultant. She stated the reason for the conference was “to help cut through hype, misinformation and sales pitches that companies are beleaguered with. Social media is here to stay whether we like it or not, and every business should be aware of how it’s changing the rules” Katherine Salt has over 10 years experience in marketing. Her company Marketing My is responsible for providing businesses get more customers through online and offline strategies. Marketing My was started in 2010 after “I had set up my own small business and found that when it came to marketing there wasn’t much out there tailored to smaller businesses.” She realised that when starting a business it’s easy to focus on getting up and running without spending time thinking about how to get customers through the door. “I am a dedicated social media marketer who keeps up to date with the latest developments by attending industry events.” The Social Jersey Conference organised by Miss Salt introduced delegates to two of the industry’s most highly respected international speakers. They were Eileen Brown, author of Working the Crowd: Social Media Marketing for Business, and Judith Lewis, Head of Search at Beyond. Eileen is CEO of Amastra and a social business strategist. Judith Lewis specialises in Search Engine Optimisation and is an online and search marketing professional. Judith’s love for chocolate encourages her popular blog “Mostly about Chocolate”. “We were so lucky that Eileen and Judith were able to find time in their speaking schedules to visit Jersey. Eileen previously worked for Microsoft and specialises in corporate social collaboration and Judith is the ‘go to’ person for optimisation and discovery. I am blown away by the depth of her knowledge,” says Miss Salt.

However the importance of this small step is essential to avoid serious damage to the reputation of a brand. Social Jersey was the first business focused conference of its kind on the Island. It took the delegates on a journey to incorporate social media into their companies in a strategic and structured way. Many companies ‘fall into’ using social media without any structure. “It’s pointless increasing use of social media and communicating like crazy if you don’t have a strategy” explains Eileen Brown. “It’s pointless measuring your activities if you don’t yet have a baseline to compare against.”
The conference was brought to a close with a discussion panel featuring representatives from local businesses involved in online and off-line marketing. Matthew Robins from Webreality, and Luke Szkudlarek from e-scape provided their take on how Web 2.0 is impacting local business.
Due to the success of the Social Jersey conference, it will return again next year and review new trends in the social business and educate businesses in becoming aware of the benefits of using social media.

STEP FOUNDATION CERTIFICATE TOP student: Rebecca Guy of Capita Fiduciary Group (award sponsored by Enhance). The importance of Jersey’s financial services industry and the trust sector’s place within it was stressed by Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf when he opened the 19th Annual International Conference of the Jersey branch of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) on Friday. The Senator, who had just returned from India where a Tax Information Exchange Agreement with Jersey was signed, spoke to delegates about how highly regarded Jersey was as a provider of financial services. STEP, he said, had a “fantastic” reputation for skilling people through its professional development programmes.
The early part of the afternoon was taken up with a case study delivered by a team of London lawyers from Maurice Turnor Gardner led by Arabella Murphy. Trust litigation was covered by Georgina James of law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner and the final speak of the day was US lawyer Christopher Reimer who described how Wyoming was emerging as a leading trust jurisdiction. The conference was sponsored by Bedell Group, Collins Stewart Wealth Management, GAM, Rossborough Group and ThatcherMackenzie. Branch chairman Steven Meiklejohn said that it was important that trust professionals gained exposure to experts. “That is what we aim to achieve through this annual conference and also our regular monthly CPD seminars,” he said.
Moving on to the current economic climate and its knock-on effects, Senator Ozouf revealed that he would be bringing forward several proposals in the forthcoming budget which were designed to ease the situation and stimulate the economy. These included a number of capital projects which would provide employment and further changes to Stamp Duty which would enable first time buyers to get onto the property ladder. The 140 delegates at the all-day conference, which was held at the Pomme d’Or Hotel, heard from a number of prominent industry speakers from as far afield as the USA. They spoke on a variety of subject ranging from asset allocation to establishing trusts in Wyoming. Several touched on the turmoil resulting from the economic crisis, including the Director-General of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, John Harris, whose talk concentrated on recent and forthcoming regulatory changes. John Hills and Bruce Dutton of Equiom in the Isle of Man spoke about investing in yachts and aircraft, while London trust lawyer Charles Holbech examined several recent legal cases involving trustees. Graham Wainer, the Global Head of Private Clients and Portfolio Management at investment managers, GAM, gave advice on matching the expectations of clients to reality in the current climate. A comparison between 2011 and looking forward to 2012 was the theme of Quilter’s Head of Fixed Income Oliver Stone’s address.

De Gruchy currently trades from 76,000 square feet and is the largest retail outlet in the Channel Islands. The store’s landmark building was originally developed as a department store. Due to this purpose-built nature the store has vast open floors that are perfect for today’s retail requirements. Since being acquired by the Ulster Stores Group in November 2006, significant investment has been made in refurbishment of the Arcade, Menswear and further investment in the contemporary fashion area, along with the introduction of Fortuna Electricals to the ground floor and a Coffee Shop on the first floor. John Marquis, Director of de Gruchy recently explained that it was vital that retail business continued to work to improve their product to meet customers’ expectation. Last weekend’s opening of the new department meant that shoppers were treated to many in-
store celebrations. Top Island chefs Michelin Star holders Shaun Rankin and Mark Jordan were in-store holding cookery demonstrations and signing books.

“Gary Barlow is bringing together the biggest and brightest stars of the music industry for a one-off concert to help change young lives”
The BBC’s first ever broadcast appeal for children was a five-minute radio broadcast on Christmas Day in 1927. The response was phenomenal and it raised £1,143 18s 3d which was split between 4 prominent children’s charities. The first televised appeal was the 1955 ‘Children’s Hour Christmas Appeal’, presented by Sooty and Harry Corbett. The Christmas Day Appeals continued on TV and radio right up until 1979, raising a total of £625,836. In 1980 the appeal was broadcast on BBC One in a new telethon format, hosted by Sir Terry Wogan with Sue Lawley and Esther Rantzen. It captured the public’s imagination to such an extent that the donations increased dramatically and broke the million mark for the very first time. Pudsey Bear made his television debut in 1985 when Terry introduced the new, brown cuddly mascot to the audience. He was designed by Joanna Ball, a BBC graphics designer, who named him after the West Yorkshire town where she was born. Pudsey will spend two days touring the Island on the 17th and 18th November visiting as many schools as possible. With his minder Jo Taylor and roving reporter Kevin Pamplin he’ll be speaking to the young fund-raisers as they do all they can to support the appeal. BBC Radio Jersey’s Murray Norton and Phil Taylor will be out and about too dropping in at offices, shops and workplaces as a range of money-making ideas are put into action. Make sure you invite Murray to join you on Children in Need Day by emailing jersey@bbc.co.uk.

Discovery Days 12th 13th November
Curiosities & Collections
At the beginning of 2011, seven thousand primary school children were given a scrapbook by Jersey Heritage. Kindly sponsored by Mourant Ozannes, the books were entitled ‘ Your History Starts Here’, and went out to all primary schools in Jersey. The aim of the scheme is to cross over formal history teaching with informal learning, and the scrapbooks are filled with fun facts and learning activities. Heritage then organised a series of ‘Discovery Days’, whereby children could bring along their scrapbooks, enjoy a day packed with quizzes, tasks and activities and at throughout, receive stickers in their scrapbook. At the end of the year children can return their scrapbooks - fear not, they are given back again and receive a medal for their attendance. There are special prizes for those who attend all of the events. The eighth and final Discovery Day event of this year is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th of November respectively - and the scheme ends where it began - at Jersey Museum.

The Discovery Days initiative, introduced for 2011, has been a great success and seen a huge take up in membership to Jersey Heritage (although you don’t have to be a member to attend), including the all new child memberships introduced for this year. ‘Curiosities and Collections’ is the eighth and final installment of these informative - and above all fun - historically packed activities. This doesn’t mean, however, that if you missed the earlier Discovery Days, you or the kids can’t attend the last one. In fact, the initiative is always open to everyone, and there is much to learn and be entertained by in each module, as they are all separate - linked only by the mission to give Jersey’s people a look into Jersey’s past. The scheme has taken in every Jersey Heritage site in the Island - and the ultimate Discovery Day see’s the return to the

Jersey Museum, where the scheme was first introduced. This is very fitting, as the subject of the final Discovery Day is, in fact: ‘Museums’.
it’s so different from modern game consoles - it’s a clear link, and for a lot of people, one that brings back memories.”
Jersey Heritage’s Family Events Coordinator, Helen Otterwell, very kindly took the time to tell Jersey Weekly what ‘Curiosities and Collections’ is all about;
“We started a collection appeal, because we saw the gap emerging - there are plenty of silver spoons, ploughs and other older artifacts - but we realised modern day collecting was not obviously represented. In one hundred years, a seventies Nintendo will be an important historical item, for instance, and we didn’t see things like that in museums.”
“This is actually rather a novel thing”, says Helen. “We’ve never actually talked about museums before. We’ve talked about Kings and Queens, pirates and castles - history - but not about how we arrange displays about them. We’d like to show a little of how we do it.” “Generally, Museums started as a very Victorian concept, it came from Germany, but Victorians adopted it - curiosity cabinets. People would have boxes, and they’d just have really random things, conversation pieces. Often things like mermaid purses, to the very elaborate. One man had his entire house set up as a curiosity cabinet though generally they were quite small - and simply - this was the beginning of the British Natural History Museum.” Sir Hans Sloane had a very good collection of animals and plants, skeletons and preserved insects. Montague House in Bloomsbury housed the items, most of which documented the expansion of the British Empire as it’s ‘colonial footprint’ spread. Helen; “They started off as small collections, and became institutions, literally.”
“What we’ve realised is that kids make their own collections - boys and girls collect different things - people enjoy it. It’s a human nature thing - they do it naturally, and it’s fascinating. One of the things I’m looking forward to about the Discovery Day is asking; what do you collect?” The Discovery Day will also talk about how the children would display their collection, and there will be pictures of objects given for them to locate, label and organise. The children will be allowed to collate and curate their collections however they wish - by colour, material, relevance - such as seaside or toy exhibits - or by any other reason they see a link. This teaches the children about classification - an important part of any museum or collection. The children will also be given an art project, to be framed on completion, and they can take these home. They will be themed on collection and arrangement.
“The ‘All Our Yesterdays’ exhibition that we have here at the Museum, on display at the moment is all objects that people owned here in Jersey, they would be recognised across the Western World, but the exhibition really captures the fifties to eighties eras for people.”
If our generation is to be represented in the future, we really should show the next generation how to keep our memory alive, this Discovery Day by Jersey Heritage is commendable in it’s concept, as it does just that. Please come along, it’s open to everyone. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll see - and surprised at the memories seemingly everyday items from a decade or two ago can revive.”
“We even have a seventies Nintendo system in there, and it really interests people, because they can see the connection - even though

In Time Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried run from the time police in this sci-fi thriller. In the future, science has enabled humanity to stop the ageing process. But there’s a catch. Although nobody gets older than 25, they’re genetically programmed to live just one more year. The only way to get out of it is to buy more time. That makes the rich effectively immortal, remaining 25 forever. Everyone else has to earn or steal enough time to get through the day. And then a chance meeting leaves Will Salas (Justin Timberlake), a young man from the poor side of town, with more time on his hands than he knows what to do with. Accused of murder, he teams up with a beautiful woman (Amanda Seyfried) to run from Timekeeper Raymond Leon (Cillian Murphy). Writer/director Andrew Niccol, who wrote such intriguing sci-fi films as ‘The Truman Show’ and ‘Gattaca’, delivers another frighteningly plausible future nightmare.

Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) comedy farce.

If the space allows, rearrange the furniture in your daughter’s room so you can make a little den in one area, preferably near a bookshelf piled high with her favourite books. Add a comfy chair or a selection of floor cushions so that she has a dedicated place to read or play with friends.

Greenville Farm: A developers dream Words // Rick Jones • Feature Design // Jon Moore
The remaining Jersey ‘Cod Houses’ hark back to a time when Jersey enjoyed a privileged status as controller of the Cod trade on both sides of the Atlantic. A developers dream, Greenville Farm has been associated with the same Jersey family name since the 1800s - and is now on the market complete with it’s outbuildings for the first time in half a century.
48
In 1481, Pope Sixtus IV confirmed in writing (in a lead sealed ‘Papal Bull’) that Channel Island ships were to be treated as neutral by warring French and English Navies. This placed our fleet in the enviable position of being free to trade with either side during the conflicts - as well as free access to ports otherwise unusable by traders from elsewhere in Europe. You may be wondering what this has to do with the remarkably potential-filled dwelling offered by Lyons Estates that gives it’s title to this feature - but bear with us… Due to inheritance laws that stood until a mere decade ago, Jersey properties were always passed to the eldest son. This made more sense in the days of feudal farming, as it ensured that enough land was left in the family to continue viable work - rather than being split off into smallholdings that were less productive. However, second born and successive sons had to make a career - and many a young Jerseyman took to the sea and voyaged to the New World territories across the Atlantic. Given the advantage of the neutral status described above, much success was found in the trade of salted Cod from Canada. Jerseymen, who by nature spoke French and English (and Jèrriais that it is said they used as a secret code on the docks) were able to trade with both sides in their native tongue, and fortunes were made. These fishy fortunes followed the men back home, and many of these second born and onwards sons had spectacular houses of their own constructed, often on their family farm lands. These became known as ‘Cod Houses’. It is said that the ‘newel-post’ - the bottom rail of a bannister in a Jersey ‘Cod House’ - will be inlaid with an ivory or mother-of-pearl

button if the house was built and paid for with no mortgage. Cod Houses also feature roof timbers from shipyards, to signify that they were built from profits literally hauled from the sea. Greenville Farm, set in idyllic country fields that no doubt constituted the family land when this particular Cod House was built, shares the above features. The original balustrade mahogany staircase fills the entrance hall and remains a grand sight to this day. Mahogany is and was an exotic, imported wood with a rich hue and pleasing solidity. It is becoming harder and more expensive to find timbers in the sizes used here, and it is possible features like these will never be seen in anything but the grandest of new builds. Four large reception rooms and a very spacious kitchen share the ground floor with the entrance hall. A utility room with a second set of stairs to the first floor is separated from the kitchen. The South facing windows look across a pleasant green rolling landscape of farmland and dividing hedgerows and trees. These views are even more spectacular upon climbing either of the two staircases, where on the first floor there is four double-bedrooms and two bathrooms. Large sash windows let in a good deal of light, but the lack of any buildings or public roads in the field of view give a pleasing sense of privacy. The attic is professionally converted, floored and accessed by permanent stairs and has it’s own dormer windows. This creates a large living space in the uppermost part of the house, that could be used as two bedrooms and one bathroom, or a very large master bedroom with it’s own bath and dressing rooms. Three naturally finished granite outbuildings surround the
house, along with a large barn finished in stucco. These have been used as stables, a farm equipment shed, and home to seasonal farm workers. The potential is limitless, as with the main house. Amply sized with plenty of parking, surrounded by countryside with the boundaries formed by the outbuildings and private fields, this house could easily be developed into a modern version of the ‘Cod House’. An impressive dwelling that conveys pride in ownership. Added pride could be invested in the history of the house, and the solid nature of a home built on a hard-won fortune. They just aren’t made this way anymore.

The Volvo Ocean Race is the world’s most grueling sailing adventure, testing the sailing prowess and human endeavour of its participants and competing in all four corners of the globe. Volvo has long been the title sponsor of an ocean race series around the world, and for the fourth time in the company’s history, there’s a set of special-edition cars inspired by the sea. For this fourth round, four cars have designed, all based on Volvo’s wagons and crossover, the logical partners for sailing teams and their gear. Thanks to Motor Mall Jersey Weekly were lucky enough to take out the XC70 Ocean Race Edition. The refined Volvo XC70 Ocean Race Edition is designed around you as a driver. The superior all-road and all-weather performance combines with iconic comfort and state-ofthe-art supportive technology to encourage any escape. This new XC70 Ocean Race Edition has a 2.4 five-cylinder turbodiesel engine develops 215hp and up- to 440 Nm of max torque. And has a top speed of 124 MPH and can reach 0-60 mph in 9.6 seconds. On the design front, the model features exclusive Ocean Blue II metallic paint, chrome accents, special badging, and unique aluminum wheels. Inside the seats and
door panels feature an added level of craftsmanship. The stitching inside the cars is meant to evoke sail stitching, there are also special aluminum trim pieces and special sill plates and the design of the unique wheels has been inspired by the movement of the ocean’s waves. The Volvo is intelligence at work. The Driver Support Package contains advance technology to help you deal with traffic the best possible way for you and other road users including pedestrians. Radar and digital camera technology interacts with on-board intelligence to constantly monitor vehicles and pedestrians ahead, to help you keep a safe distance from other vehicles and to alert you if you’re distracted. A handy icon pops up on the centre console showing exactly were you are too close to an obstacle, handy for our little lanes! This specific model comes with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), passenger air bag cut-off, keyless entry & ignition, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, 360º laminated windows, power tailgate, rear park assist, bluetooth and winter pack.

Liquid director named as Outstanding Young Communicator
Channel Islands and at just 26, she was a founding director of a pan-Channel Islands’ integrated consultancy. Since then the company has grown and has now merged with a UK agency. She has played a valuable role in that journey and success and is a very worthy winner of the award. Not only is it recognition for Lisa and Liquid, more importantly it demonstrates the public relations excellence that can be found within the Channel Islands.” Miss Gutcher, who moved to Jersey in 2006, works with a number of the Channel Islands’ largest companies in industries including finance, tourism, construction and recruitment. She was shortlisted for the award alongside Sally Gates who works at Bournemouth University. “I really didn’t expect to win but am delighted to have done so. The support I have from my family, my colleagues and my clients has helped my success and so this award is shared with them. I’ve never once regretted choosing PR as a profession and am overwhelmed that the judges felt that something I love doing was worthy of an award,” she said
Tax manager brings expert knowledge to new role LIQUID PR director Lisa Gutcher has been named as Outstanding Young Communicator at the Wessex Chartered Institute of Public Relations’ PRide Awards. Miss Gutcher, 28, was one of two finalists short-listed for the accolade, which was presented at last night’s award ceremony to recognise excellence in PR and communications across the Wessex region. Liquid managing director Jason MacKenzie said winning the award was a fantastic achievement. “The Outstanding Young Communicator Award recognises the achievements, performance and excellent work of young PR professionals who make a valuable contribution to the organisations and companies they work for and are the future leaders of the industry,” he said. “Lisa is one of the most qualified PR professionals in the

With over twenty years’ experience in tax, Natalie Dimond is the newest recruit to the expanding Ernst & Young tax team. Having previously lived in the island for 12 years when she qualified as a certified accountant in a local trust tax department, Mrs Dimond moved into teaching and management at a Tax and Accountancy business school in the UK for some eight years before returning to Jersey. Mrs Dimond’s main focus is within the fiduciary area, aiding trust and company clients with their tax reporting and advisory responsibilities. A fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (FACCA), Mrs Dimond, who has previously worked in relatively small organisations, will be bringing her specialist knowledge to the global professional services firm. Channel Islands managing director, Andrew Dann, said: “Natalie will bring valuable insights within the fiduciary business to our clients and we are delighted that she has joined our growing Channel Islands tax team.”

Branchage Stars Alongside Clooney & Co. at the 55th London Film Festival
Sponsorship & Creative Integrity As a festival with a number of sponsors and partners, including key sponsors Spearpoint, Jersey Trust Company, Barclays Wealth and Jersey Tourism Development Fund, Branchage has set a fantastic example of how to successfully foster a mutually beneficial partnership for both festival and partner. Mr Swetenham and Miss Fletcher shared the Branchage team’s experiences of growing the festival over four years to a point where 70% of funding came from sponsorship as opposed to 30%, which is the accepted norm outside Jersey. Asked if such a reliance on sponsorship was in conflict with a festival’s creative integrity Jeremy Swetenham replied that “it was all about the right relationship with the partner. The highly creative team lead by Xanthe Hamilton works very hard to understand the world from a supporting partner’s point of view and then deliver something suitable but original and often unexpected.” Community Involvement
Following the successful fourth annual edition of Branchage International Film Festival in September, the organisers were invited to officially represent Branchage at the BFI London Film Festival, which ended last week. LFF is the UK’s biggest and most prestigious annual film festival, with numerous red carpet premieres taking place during the fortnight-long event, with a star-studded cast of A-list directors and movie stars in attendance, including Madonna, Woody Harrelson, David Cronenberg, George Clooney and Ralph Fiennes; just a few of those in attendance at the event. UK Film Festivals Forum Festival Manager Fiona Fletcher and Branchage Chairman Jeremy Swetenham were invited to be part of a panel of speakers at LFF’s ‘UK Film Festivals Forum’ event at the BFI Southbank, alongside influential film industry figures including the BFI Head of Strategic Development Carol Comley, Creative England’s Head of Film Culture Jay Arnold, BFI Head of Corporate Sponsorship Liz Muggeridge, East End Film Festival Director Allison Poltock and the BFI Head of Distribution & Exhibition Pete Buckingham. Attended by representatives of film festivals and organisations from around the world (including Berlin Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, BFI and the Barbican), the aims of the forum were to look at ‘recent and forthcoming developments in film policy and structures’ and a more practical focus on ‘how festivals can make the most of their offer to attract sponsors and partners.’
78
On the subject of the importance of community involvement with film festivals, Mr Swetenham added that “such community involvement and volunteering is the magic ingredient which allows Branchage to showcase the cultural value of the island on behalf of the community, the organisations that support the event financially and Jersey on the international stage”. Chair of the event, Catharine Des Forges from the Independent Cinema Office closed the event saying how she could remember Branchage Creative Director Xanthe Hamilton approaching her five year’s earlier. “Xanthe was thinking of starting a film festival in Jersey and it is such a pleasure to see Branchage sharing their success today with the rest of the UK’s film festivals.” Survey Results Branchage’s involvement in London Film Festival comes shortly after some extremely encouraging results from surveys carried out with visitors to September’s festival in Jersey. Some of the key findings were that: • Just over 10% of those who attended in 2010 came from abroad but in 2011 this figure rose to nearly a quarter. • 52% of overseas visitors heard about Branchage through word of mouth. • 96% of overseas visitors said that their Branchage experience encourages them to return to Jersey. • 94% said that they feel the international nature of Branchage improves Jersey as a place to visit for cultural events. • 87% of overseas visitors to the festival were in Jersey specifically for Branchage Festival.

Branchage Festival Film Published Online A short film capturing the essence of Branchage 2011 has been directed and produced by BAFTA- nominated local filmmaker Mike Pearce, and is now available to view online. Taking the viewer on a whistle-stop tour of the weekend’s films, parties and performances, it features a soundtrack by folk band This Is The Kit and can be viewed at www.branchagefestival.com or at www.vimeo.com Branchage Shortlisted for CIM Award Completing an exciting month for Branchage, the festival has been shortlisted in the ‘Best Use of PR’ category of this year’s CIM Awards, for the first time. Sponsored by the One Foundation, the category also includes Santander Private Banking - for The Path to Santander Private Bank, Liberation Group - for Raising the Bar, The Atlantic Hotel - for The Apprentice Campaign, Grand Jersey and HSBC & Durrell for Island Bat Roost. The awards ceremony takes place at Hotel De France on November 18th.
MUSIC, THEATRE & ARTS It’s the show that spawned the award-winning film - and tells the story of a group of men made redundant - but who, with the help of family and friends, find a new self confidence and hope for the future in doing ‘The Full Monty’ (The show is not suitable for those aged under 16)
Islanders urged to take part in Cultural Conference
Anyone with an interest in arts, heritage and culture is being urged to come forward for this year’s Council for Culture conference to discuss three key issues facing the sector. The annual conference, which is open to the public and takes place on 26th November, will include a progress report on the Cultural Strategy. This year there will be three keynote speeches dealing with distinct subjects: • Accessing new funding for the cultural sector • Cultural diplomacy – how culture can be used to help build relationships with other jurisdictions • Developing an Islandwide heritage story Visiting speakers include: Philip Spedding, senior manager at Arts and Business; Stephen Feber, chief executive in the heritage sector; and Professor John Holden. In addition to the visiting speakers, there will be a panel discussion and audience questions. The conference helps inform the Education, Sport and Culture Department’s planning in 2012.

Music in Action Sublime Classics by Candlelight
Enjoy a sublime evening of the finest baroque classics on 26th November 2011. The European Festival Baroque Orchestra comes to Jersey to perform by candlelight at Gloucester Hall, Fort Regent. A full orchestra will perform favourite period melodies ending with Vivaldi’s masterpiece, The Four Seasons, for violin and orchestra. And uniquely Fort Regent will be turned into a princely baroque ballroom with ivy covered pillars, candelabra all ablaze and beautiful flowers setting the stage for an evening to remember. The programme of the concert is set to be as spectacular as the décor. The highlight of the evening, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, is a dazzling display of violin technique. Each concerto corresponds to a sonnet associated with a different season of the

year. The music tells the story in imaginative and original ways: filled with musical soundscapes, Vivaldi’s skill as a composer is revealed as the orchestra mimics bird calls, light raindrops, and violent summer storms, and the delicious crackling cold of winter. From the day that they were written, these concertos were enormously successful. ‘Spring’ was a firm favourite of King Louis XV, who would order it to be performed at the most unexpected moments, and Vivaldi received various commissions for further compositions from the court at Versailles. More recently the recording by Nigel Kennedy captured the public’s imagination in the United Kingdom remaining no 1 in the classical charts for over a year and selling over 2 million copies, one every 30 seconds. The second concerto of the programme – Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 – contains a marvellous display of virtuosic playing. Bach encountered Vivaldi’s concertos early in his career and this influence can be seen in Bach’s own writing with dashing runs across the strings of the orchestra. Other wonderful compositions include the wonderful chords of Pachelbel’s Canon, Bach’s ever-popular Air on a G-String, Handel’s vibrant The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba and Corelli’s festive Christmas Concerto. As well as beautiful sounds, the ambience will be heightened by the performers wearing the finest baroque costumes. Wigs, breeches and corsets were the custom of the age and as there was no uniform as such; rather, musicians would wear their very best attire whether or not it matched with the player next to them. This made for a rich array of colours and styles to grace the courts of Western Europe! This should create as much a feast for the eyes as for the ears. The musicians of the European Festival Baroque Orchestra have been handpicked from the finest musicians and orchestras in Europe from the BBC Symphony Orchestra to the European Union Chamber Orchestra. They have performed with the greatest artists in the word from Bryn Terfel, Anne Sophie Mutter to Jose Carreras (among many others), and we can expect the highest quality of music-making. The artists hail from across Europe – from Italy, Germany, Spain and France and the UK: countries which had a profound impact on the birth and development of baroque music and its conventions. These musicians’ heritage will further add to the sense of authenticity of the concert. In addition to the candlelit performance on the 26th November, members of the orchestra will play in an educational concert at the Jersey Academy of Music on the 25th November. They will perform alongside a young string group from the Island, with the aim of inspiring and coaching the children on how to play together as a chamber group. The quartet will also perform an arrangement with the youngsters based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. This kind of educational exercise is vital for young people not only for their musical development, but has also been shown to benefit teamwork and concentration skills. It will be a wonderful opportunity for our young musicians to receive teaching from the highest calibre European players.

Jersey Opera House’s £1 million refurbishment project has finished on time and on budget. The programme, which was only possible due to fiscal stimulus funding granted by the States of Jersey, started in April of this year. Five months later, the theatre has a revamped cafébar, a new performance and rehearsal studio, a renovated upper bar

and new administration offices. The funding has helped secure the long-term future of the publicly-owned building. It’s intended that the redevelopment works will allow the Opera House to diversify its operations and consequently increase its income generation. Theatre Director, Jasmine Hendry is elated with the end results: “We couldn’t have hoped for better. The performance studio in particular is just fabulous. This versatile space can be used for dance and drama classes and workshops. We intend to establish children’s theatre groups and host small-scale performances, not to mention we will now being able to offer corporate hospitality and ‘away days’. As we are a creative organisation, it would be wonderful for the building to become more ‘alive’ during the day and for everyone to take advantage of our great new facilities.” Jersey Opera House Board Chairman, Pierre Horsfall CBE said: “The Fiscal Stimulus Fund was set up by the States of Jersey to help the local economy and provide employment for local craftsmen. Allocating the funds to this project has done exactly that and also enhanced the Opera House, its long-term future and viability. The bonus is that the money has been spent on a building which belongs to the public and which is used by the public. Without the Treasury’s foresight, this would not have been possible. ” The Performance Studio/ Event Space The most significant addition to the new JOH facilities is the performance studio which brings to life a derelict area of the building, which had been dormant for more than ten years. Formerly used by the British European Airways Social Club, it now boasts a beautiful wooden sprung dance floor and a large mirrored wall which means the studio is now perfect for dance classes and workshops. The intention behind this multifunctional room is to increase the theatre’s offerings and revenue potential through corporate and performance hire. With a seating capacity of up to 80 people, the Opera House will now be able to present small-scale professional touring shows. Plus the studio will be available for hire by the local community and companies. It is fully-accessible for customers who are wheelchair users.
Cafébar will be a far more desirable town venue for residents, businesses and theatregoers. We are can take up to 60 covers in one sitting and provide an enhanced catering service for inhouse functions.” Keeping the arts alive, the walls of the OH! Cafébar are now a dedicated gallery space where local artists can exhibit their work. Exhibitions will be on a one month rolling basis so that painters, photographers and other talented islanders can regularly make use of the space. Photographer Stephane Gimenez is the first to show his work; an exhibition dedicated to Jersey landscapes. The Upper Bar A new bar adjacent to the Upper Circle replaces the defunct Capriccio’s restaurant. The enlarged bar has capacity for 150 people standing, and 85 seated. Customers can enjoy a drink in the revamped room or private functions can be held in its relaxed atmosphere. Intended to ease congestion on show nights for the other theatre bars, it’s also envisaged that members of the public and companies will hire the venue for events and functions. Additional Areas There are a number of other areas which have been improved thanks to the Fiscal Stimulus Funding. The most notable is the linking of the Gloucester Street building with its Seaton Place counterpart, which were previously separate units. The administration offices were originally housed in the latter along with redundant workshops and storage space – now the performance studio and JOH headquarters. Along with the offices, new corridors, a fire escape and WCs, have all been finished in a contemporary style, which has contributed to the modernization of the previously dilapidated Seaton Place building. The redeveloped workplace environment is welcomed by staff. “We are so excited about the future. The possibilities are endless for the Opera House now in terms of diversification, increased revenue streams and a greater offering for the public. We couldn’t be happier with the results and are looking forward to sharing the new facilities with the local community and visitors to the island.” commented Jasmine Hendry.
OH! Cafébar Now boasting a bigger and better equipped kitchen, the newly rebranded and refurbished OH! Cafébar now means that the Opera House can offer an extended menu of hot and cold food, served Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays when shows are on. The revamped eatery now plates up a choice of breakfasts, brunches, light lunches, pre-theatre suppers and is also an alternative after-work venue for the west of St Helier. Carlos Carneiro, Head of Bars & Catering said: “Having a larger, fully-equipped commercial kitchen is going to make all the difference to the way we operate. Now that we’re able to offer a wider range of reasonable priced dishes, OH!

The Jersey Eisteddfod Deutsche Bank - Festival of Performing Arts
ALTHOUGH LAUNDRY FOLDING, along with a number of other events that seem odd to us present-day folk have given way to relatively modern arts such as photography, the Jersey Eisteddfod is still going strong; onehundred-and-three years later. Words // Rick Jones Feature Design // Jon Moore
There was a few years where the Island was sadly Eisteddfod free - during each of the World Wars - and the introduction of television somewhat dented both the participant and spectator numbers in the 1960s. However, by the 1980s television had redeemed itself somewhat. The popularity of the huge - and by this point, televised - Welsh National Eisteddfod began something of a renaissance for the festival in Jersey. It has continued to grow in popularity ever since, and if the intention of Dean Samuel Falle back in 1908 was to improve the standard of practitioners of the arts in the Island, he’d no doubt be impressed by just how far it’s all come. It’s certainly the domain of the very best Jersey has to offer - which is often jaw dropping. Nowadays, in fact, the Eisteddfod is affiliated to ‘The British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech’ who’s Patron is none other than Her Majesty The Queen - a Royal seal of approval, no less. There are currently two annual events that carry the name ‘Eisteddfod’ in Jersey. The first is the ‘Festival of Creative Arts’ - held in March - also known as ‘The Spring Festival’. The second - and the one we’re fast approaching this month - is ‘The Festival of
82
Performing Arts’ or ‘Autumn Festival’, held in, you guessed it, November. The distinction between the two festivals is largely down to the arts celebrated in each. The autumn festival is all about the performances - the five days between Monday the 21st and Friday the 25th are dedicated to music, poetry and dance, the 26th (Saturday) is Drama, and the 28th to the 30th are Drama Gala Performance days. There is also a service of dedication, held on Sunday 13th November at 7.30pm at St Helier Methodist Centre. Participants from Jersey and Guernsey made up of many of the children who constitute the future of the Islands - perform before a selection of visiting adjudicators, chosen for their expertise and experience in the field. The number of entrants is usually nearly three-thousand annually and - through the efforts of teachers, promoters of tradition and supporters - it has continued to grow over the years. It’s also estimated that over ten percent of Jersey’s population attend at least one part of the annual Eisteddfod. Many of the judges have commented, in the past, on the impressive amount of talented youngsters concentrated in the relatively small area of the Channel Islands - and they are correct. With fine institutions such as Jersey Academy of Music often preparing students for performance as part of their syllabus, the tradition is kept alive, even in the era of computer games, mobile phones and reality television.

Taking place at Jersey Arts Centre from Monday 21st to Wednesday 30th of November - in association with Deutsche Bank and The Arts Trust - is Jersey’s premiere cultural festival and competition. The Eisteddfod is based on the Welsh ‘bardic’ tradition of celebrating the written and spoken word, and perhaps most importantly sharing music. In the age preceding widespread travel - let alone internet - the annual meeting of bards was where the foremost practitioners of the arts shared, critiqued and were awarded prizes for their finest work. In 1908, the Dean of Jersey - Samuel Falle - keenly approved the format as a way to improve the standard of the Island’s poets, singers, dancers, musicians, craftworkers and - at one point - even laundry folders (we kid you not).
One thing worth noting, is that the Jersey Eisteddfod is run by Jersey people, for Jersey people - all of the work, both physical and administrative - is done by kind volunteers. As such, the organisers are always looking for motivated and interested people to commit whatever time they may be able to spare to helping out. Email, admin@jerseyeisteddfod.gov.je for more information. You can also become a ‘Friend of the Eisteddfod’ for an annual subscription fee. This helps carry a fine and much enjoyed tradition into perpetuity, something which can be invaluable for future generations. For prices and more information email, patrickfreeley@talk21.com. For further, more in depth details on performances, times and participants - as well as a downloadable syllabus and programme - the website at www.jerseyeisteddfod.org.je has plenty to read and consider. The ‘Eisteddfod’ is a centuries old Celtic tradition - ‘Jersey Eisteddfod’ may not have quite the time under it’s belt, but it’s clear that the creators of the original Welsh festival would wholeheartedly approve of our Island version. It adheres to - and perfectly conveys - the spirit and beauty of age-old artistic traditions, and even carries some of our newer ones into posterity.

7TH JERSEY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS FESTIVAL
INCENDIES DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE
16TH NOVEMBER 8PM SCREENING AT JERSEY ARTS CENTRE
84
The film is based on the play, Scorched by Wajdi Mouawad. Adult twins Jeanne and Simon’s mother, Nawal Marwan, has passed away. They attend the reading of her will to learn that their father is alive and that they have a brother of whom they never knew they had. The twins are distressed when the notary announces that it is their mother’s request to deliver envelopes to their long-lost brother and father. Simon is upset and angry, he is hesitant to fulfill her wishes, but Jeanne sets off to the Middle East to search for her relatives. Once joined by Simon, the twins are faced with the reality of their mixed up roots and the dark secrets their mother has left behind. “Incendies tells the powerful and moving tale of two young adults’ voyage to the core of deep-rooted hatred, never-ending wars and enduring love” – IMDb The film is set in Lebanon and deals with the violent fighting between Christians and Muslims. Flashbacks show mother Nawal searching for her lost son who was taken away by her Christian family because he was born out of wedlock to a Muslim man. He was sent to a Christian orphanage which was burnt down by Muslim military civilians as retribution. The orphans however were saved. Nawal volunteers with a Muslim military force of civilians in the hope of finding her son, and is jailed for 15 years where she is subjected to violence, cruelty and repeatedly raped. This film is a family drama on one level, but also recognises the bigger issue of the civil unrest in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon. It is an extremely strong film, one of those that will stay with you for days. Writer and Director Denis Villeneuve told Eugene Hernandez of Indiewire; “I was able to convince the author to let me do the movie and he told me it’s going to take you a lot of time and you’re going to suffer and I’m going back to Paris and I cannot help you”. Incendies is certainly not for fainthearted but despite the brutal violence and shocking twists there is a message that portrays love and forgiveness. The film has received eight Genie Awards including Best Motion Picture, ten awards at the Adelaide Film Festival including Best Feature Film 2011. It was also nominated for an Oscar Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in January 2011. Incendies will be screened at the Jersey Arts Centre on Wednesday 16th November at 8pm. Tickets cost £6 for adults and £5 for students. Viewers are advised that the film has strong language and scenes of violence. RS495

Director Andrew Levine was travelling the world with his girlfriend after finishing university he recalls that “India and Nepal haunted me the most.” Levine found himself in Kamati Pura the largest red light district in the world without even realising. He writes “Later I learned that every vile desire a man could dream of was for sale and child virgins were the region’s most noted delicacies.” Levine visited a non-profit organisation that helps victims of the child sex slave trade and it was this moment that he knew he had to do something. Levine decided to make this documentary by using stories from real people, with statistics and imagery true to life. The Day My God Died delves into the secret world of the sex trafficking of children in India. The documentary film uses real footage from the brothels. The footage was secretly captured using “spy camera” technology. One of the girls we see is Gina, she was sold as a child sex slave at the age of 7 then raped by 14 men and subjected to beatings and torture. Anita, age 12, was drugged and sold to a brothel where she was constantly beaten and lived with the threat of being buried killed. “I trusted my friend. I didn’t know any better. They drugged us with something you take with bread. I never came back from there. When I refused to have sex they beat me for days. They threatened to bury me alive.” Maili who was trafficked aged 19 along with her infant daughter is determined to help other girls and risks her life to free them. We also see the courageous Jyoti front a raid on a brothel resulting in the rescue of seven girls and the arrest of two brothel owners. Jyoti was sold as a sex slave aged 12 and was forced to drink alcohol to bring down her resistance. The child sex slave industry sees children captured from their villages in Nepal and sent to Indian brothels. There is a chain of responsibility in this process from the people who capture them through to the men that rape them and infect them with AIDS. Every person in the chain profits except for the girls, who pay the price with their lives. “For one of the most religious countries in the world I found it quite ironic that Nepal the birthplace of Lord Buddha, preaching the teachings of love and compassion participated in the child sex slave trade.” comments Director, Andrew Levine. The Day My God Died will be screened at The Jersey Arts Centre on Thursday 17th November at 8pm as part of the 7th Jersey Amnesty International Human Rights Festival. Tickets Cost £6 for adults and £5 for students.

LAST TRAIN HOME DIRECTED BY LIXIN FAN
18TH NOVEMBER 8PM SCREENING AT JERSEY ARTS CENTRE This documentary film tells the story of Zhang Changhua and his wife, Cheng Suqin. They are migrants who’ve worked in factories on the southeastern coast of China for over a decade, leaving their two children in the care of their grandmother. Their lives are defined by grueling 14-hour work routines and the drive to save the small amount they earn manufacturing products for export to the U.S. Last Train Home is set in Guangzhou and shows middle-aged couple, the Zhangs, embark on the 50 hour journey home to their rural village to see their family. Every year the world’s largest migration takes place when over 130 million workers go home. The decision to ride the train home for the Chinese New Year brings misery, as tens of thousands of people are all fighting for a chance to get back to their families. Back home, Zhang and Cheng’s sullen teenage daughter Qin is bitter and resentful of her parents’ long absence and she feels that they abandoned her. Qin is longing to earn her own money instead of completing her education. A family argument turns their rare New Year’s visit into an unpleasant reckoning. “Their unseen story plays out as China soars towards being a world superpower.” – IMDb

This powerful and poignant documentary is directed by Canadian-Chinese Lixin Fan. He forces no comment throughout the film and uses the camera as an observational tool. Lixin followed the family for a period of two years as they were caught up in the move from the countryside to the city and back again in their quest to earn a living and provide for their family. The Director told The Telegraph “It’s a family drama that serves as an allegory about where China is heading and the profound changes it has gone through, from being an agricultural society to an industrial nation. It’s a huge story.” The documentary focuses on just one family; however the filmmaker never lets you forget that the Zhangs are just two of the many millions of migrant workers in China. In the beginning of the film we witness chaotic scenes at the train station during the Chinese New Year holiday where thousands and thousands of people are anxiously waiting to get a space on the train. The film gives the audience insight into the hardships, conditions and challenges these workers face. The story is a personal one within a social and political context and highlights how family structure is being impacted by migrant work. Last Train Home has won many awards such as a Golden Gate Award in the Investigative Documentary in 2010, an Official Selection Award at Sundance Film Festival in 2010 and in 2009 Best Feature Documentary at the 22nd annual International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. Being shown as part of the 7th Jersey Amnesty International Human Rights Festival, Last Train Home is being screened at The Jersey Arts Centre on Friday 18th November at 8pm. Tickets cost £6 for adults and £5 for students.

7TH JERSEY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS FESTIVAL
IN THIS WORLD DIRECTED BY MICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM
17TH NOVEMBER 8PM SCREENING AT JERSEY ARTS CENTRE This 2002 film follows two Afghan refugees as they leave their refugee camp in search of a better life in London. The journey is not only illegal it is also extremely dangerous. The pair risk their lives in search of their goal. In This World is an attempt to show the stories of foreigners like Jamal Udin Torabi and Enayatullah that society label as refugees or asylum seekers as real human beings. Director, Michael Winterbottom is a prolific filmmaker and has made seventeen films in the last fifteen years. He made the transition from British television to film. In an interview with BBC about In This World he explains that his inspiration for the film was the news that 58 Chinese immigrants were found suffocated in a container at Dover. He commented; “You had politicians saying more and more hostile things about asylum seekers and immigrants in general. It seemed that if you could go on that journey with them, perhaps by the time they got to this country you’d be rooting for them and wanting them to be here.” In this World follows the journey of two young Afghan men as they travel from Pakistan through Iran, Turkey, Italy, France and the UK in search of refuge in London. To achieve this they must put their lives in the hands of smugglers. They travel in the back of trucks, by endless bus journeys, on foot and encounter border guards who at one point send them back. Once they are making real progress on their harrowing journey they have to take a ship from Turkey to Italy and are forced to hide in a shipping container with other asylum seekers, this event leads to tragic consequences. The story highlights the public debate over the issue of asylum seekers; the film is a touching and dramatic story that unveils the extreme measures people take to run away from persecution and the life threatening conditions they find themselves in along the way. The film is shot as a documentary but is also a drama as the characters, who are non-professional actors play fictionalized versions of themselves. WORDS

MAN PUSH CART DIRECTED BY RAMIN BAHRANI
19TH NOVEMBER 5PM SCREENING AT JERSEY ARTS CENTRE
88
Man Push Cart - showing at Jersey Arts Centre on Saturday 19th November was Bahrani’s first feature film, and was shown at festivals before winning worldwide cinematic release, and eventually winning the director a much coveted ‘Independent Spirit Award’ in 2007. Loosely based on ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’, the film is a beautifully observed, haunting and insightful first feature that reveals an overlooked community in the ‘Big Apple’, and is highlighted by strong central characters and stunning photography. In Greek Mythology, Sisyphus was a fallen king - eternally punished for his greed and domination by cruelty of his subjects - who was tasked with the rolling of a huge boulder up an equally huge hill, only to watch helplessly as it rolled down teach time he attempted to take rest. There have been many interpretations of the myth throughout literature, but the overall sense of futility and resignedness to the task at hand is clearly depicted in the original. This is the imagery that Director Ramin Bahrani has cleverly woven into the modern day parable that is ‘Man Push Cart’. It tells the story of ‘Ahmad’; a Pakistani immigrant in New York, who - despite being a famous rock star in his home country is making a meagre living selling bagels and coffee from his hand cart on the streets of Downtown Manhattan. By night, he sells illegal DVDs out of a desperate need to raise enough cash to make a home for himself and his estranged American born son. The haunted former rock star works hard in the tough New York environment, but every step he makes towards his goal seems fraught with yet more setbacks. Similarly to Sisyphus in the Greek Myth - who toiled laboriously with his huge boulder haplessly up the steep incline - the scenes of the exhausted Ahmad pushing, pulling and sweating to move his heavy cart slowly along the dark Manhattan streets, exhausted from a long days work, are heart rending in their futility. The young man never gives up - often collapsing in tears - whilst all the while he could be enjoying the life of a rock star in his native Pakistan. The thought of his son steels his resolve, and soon a friendly - if condescending - Pakistani businessman who remembers Ahmad from his former life offers work, and hope in the promise of an introduction to the NY music scene. Further complications arise, when a beautiful Spanish girl who works on a nearby newsstand stirs up feelings in Ahmad that he had previously thought were unimportant, compared to his greater mission in the USA - to find and reconcile with his son. The film is stunningly shot - contrasting the rush and bustle of NYC with the microcosm of the main character’s life. The story is beautiful in its tragedy, and offers insight into the lives of people who are passed by - throughout the film Ahmad is overtaken by cars and pedestrians - and often never considered as anything more than part of the scenery. The film starts at 5pm. Tickets cost £6 per Adult - £5 per Student (discounts apply for members), and are available from the Arts Centre Box Office, Phillips St. St Helier. RJ623

SIN NOMBRE DIRECTED BY CARY JOJI FUKUNAGA
19TH NOVEMBER 8PM SCREENING AT JERSEY ARTS CENTRE Student Academy Award winning film-maker Cary Joji Fukunaga’s feature directorial debut ‘Sin Nombre’ will show at Jersey Arts Centre on Saturday 19th of November, as part of the 7th Amnesty International Human Rights Festival. The film takes somewhat streetwise look into the harrowing ordeals faced by ‘economic refugees’ attempting to cross from Mexico to the USA. Bravely documenting some of the brutality experienced both at home - the ruthless Mexican street gang MS-13 are portrayed - and across the border when in the ‘promised land’, the film follows the (mis)fortunes of a young couple, united in their journey.

WORDS
Hailed as ‘one of cinema’s most exciting new voices’, Cary Joji Fukunaga is himself no stranger to issues surrounding immigration and identity. Speaking fluently in French, Spanish and English, Cary is described as a wandering spirit who’s family is - by his own description - “a conglomeration of individual, somewhat displaced people”. He is the son of a Japanese Father and Swedish Mother, and grew up with an Argentine Stepmother and Chicano Stepfather. He spent his youth variously dwelling in downtown ‘barrios’ - Latino areas, rife with gang culture - or hillside suburbs in the predominantly white areas of Los Angeles. His family, he said, “were always in transition of some kind… coming apart and reforming in different forms and dynamics.” This, however, only served to remind the young filmmaker that the USA is simply a nation of immigrants in the first place. His empathy for the displaced is clear, and he has - in his desire to sympathetically portray such people - tapped into a rich vein of stories. Some are happy, most are sad, but all have an element of hope in at least one area that most movie-goers relate to on perhaps a primal level. Cary researched this film in person - and drafted the story of a young Mexican girl seeking her Father and her unlikely pairing with a reformed gangster on the run - not in the comfort of his own home, but on the actual borders and railroads that feature heavily in the story. At one point, sat atop a railroad tanker as gunshots were fired and a man was murdered amid screams of “Bandito”, the thirty-one year questioned his decision. But, the aim was to portray the fate of the tens of thousands who attempt to cross the Mexican/USA border - risking weather, robbery and beatings, or being swept under a train and losing limbs - and to do this right, he felt he had to experience it. The main protagonists; Sayra - a young girl who’s father left for the USA years previous to send money home for his family - and Casper - a ‘Mara Salvatrucha’ gangster who turned his back on the brutal drug gang - meet on their attempt to cross into the USA. The following story is described as harrowing yet uplifting. “An unflinching tale of gang warfare, loyalty and redemption”. It’s certainly a roller-coaster ride, emotionally speaking - this much is evident even from the trailer on youtube - but the ups and downs make this film truly unmissable. Highly Recommended. The film starts at 8pm. Tickets cost £6 per Adult - £5 per Student (discounts apply for members), and are available from The Arts Centre Box Office, Phillips St. St Helier.

Every year more than twenty local bands get together and play for a combined duration of twelve hours non-stop, in what has become one of the most anticipated get togethers for the local live music scene. The event is known as ‘Kenny’s Gig’, for a very special reason; it celebrates the life and love of Kenny Mallet - a gifted young musician who sadly died from a heart condition in his teenage years - and raises a considerable sum for two related charities; ‘Wessex Heartbeat’ and La Motte St, the music themed youth centre in St Helier. The Mallet family are well known and well loved amongst music fans in the Island. Many of the Jersey’s current crop of gigging drummers hit their first drum skin under the very patient and skilled watch of Ernie Mallet, who teaches privately and in schools across the Island. Within the last twenty years, over twelve-hundred pupils and many of Ernie’s former pupils having gone on to become teachers themselves, it could be argued that Ernie has passed his sound and style down into the musical culture of Jersey, regardless of genre. Ernie and his brother Roy Mallet (guitarist) formed the infamous and hard working ‘Run for Cover’ - an Irish/American influenced folkrock band - back in 1992, and since then have been a regular fixture at events and functions across the Island, where they never fail to entertain. Many of Jersey’s young musicians have had their first taste of live performance by invitation onto the stage to jam with Run for Cover, and encouraging young people to share the joy that playing live music can bring is core to the Mallet family’s involvement in many youth music projects. Ernie is crucially involved with the annual Junior Battle of the Bands, which he has organised since 2005. With songs, rhythms and melodies playing such a pivotal role in family life, it was inevitable that Ernie’s son and daughter would grow up with a love of all things musical. His daughter Michelle plays piano and drums, and Kenny played viola in the Jersey Instrumental Orchestra, as well as guitar in ‘Run for Cover’. Kenny would no doubt be thrilled that ‘his’ gig - the annual musical marathon - has become not only a huge event amongst musicians and music fans, but also the springboard for many of his fellow musicians

to get out and play to a decent sized crowd, with a decent sound setup and excellent organisation. La Motte St. Youth Centre, who help organise Kenny’s Gig - providing sound equipment and engineering and promotion - is possibly one of the best youth music facilities to be found anywhere (this writer has some experience in these matters…). Providing rehearsal, recording and equipment hire/loan services to Islanders aged 11-18 - as well as running courses and putting on events - La Motte St (or Sounds Workshop, as it is commonly known, rightly or wrongly) has brought so many young people into realising talents, and the joy that comes from being able to share something that isn’t hindered by language, culture or - in these days of the internet - global location. This is hand in hand with the ethos of the Mallet family, so it is fitting that they support one another and the results - such as Kenny’s Gig - speak for themselves. Twelve hours of music, energy and fun.
Kenny’s Gig 2009 kept everyone on their feet
The other charity that benefits from Kenny’s Gig, is Wessex Heartbeat. This support and care network was established in 1992, with the specific goal of ensuring that everyone affected by a heart condition receives the very best possible help. The charity is a non-government supported agency, and relies entirely on donations and fund raising to provide it’s services - which often go a very long way to bringing comfort and understanding to sufferers and their families. Heart conditions are currently estimated to cause around 40% of deaths in the UK alone, and this means that at some point it has, or will affect someone you or I may know. Particularly in the case of young people - teenagers such as Kenny Mallet for instance - it seems an extremely harsh and unfair statistic, but Wessex Heartbeat are dedicated to providing the very highest levels of equipment, education and research, as well as the care and support that goes a long way to ensuring that families don’t feel alone in the circumstances. As such, it is hugely fitting that Kenny’s Gig continues to raise funding for Wessex Heartbeat. That it does so in such a befitting manner as a ‘great big gig’ is just perfect, and we’re sure that the Mallet family are very proud of Kenny’s legacy, and very rightly so. We’ve included the line-up in the accompanying pages - entry is £4, and under 18’s are permitted until 2100 hours. For those of you staying to the end, this will be the farewell gig of Jersey’s own melodic punk band ‘Hold Your Fire!’. The boys are known for sweaty lunatic stage antics, so we can only imagine that their last ever gig will be possibly the craziest display of rock and roll energy that you’ll see outside of a major festival. Go along, get into the spirit, and help raise some cash for possibly the most relevant causes we can think of. Most of all, have fun. We’ll see you there.

he Variety Club of Jersey presents ‘A tribute to the Jersey Boys’ and no, we’re not talking about this Jersey! The show will be brought to you by Let’s Hang On, the World’s No. 1 tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Enjoy a night of first class entertainment which will have you eating, drinking, singing and dancing all for a very worthy cause. The Variety Club of Jersey is holding their annual charity ball and what better way to entertain the audience than with A Tribute to the Jersey Boys. The show will take you on a remarkable journey through the career of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Reproduction of their music has not been easy, particularly with regard to their legendary falsetto lead vocals and tight harmonies. Let’s Hang On spent many months polishing and perfecting the show before it was launched as a tribute band. What you will see is a totally live show with impeccable vocal harmonies and outstanding musicianship. Expect to be clapping and dancing along to the amazing tones of this talented tribute act. Classic songs such as Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and Oh What a Night promise to have you hanging on every word. Also performing is special guest “Marc Paul” he is an international entertainer but what he does will remain a mystery until the night to surprise the audience. “We always chose the in vogue thing, we feel we always have the best entertainment” comments Chairman of the ball and First Assistant Chief Barker, Chris Robin. “It’s an opportunity to have a special night out with dinner and entertainment whilst supporting local children.” The Variety Club of Jersey is dedicated to helping underprivileged children. Members of the club pay an annual subscription, which covers the administration cost which means that every penny raised by Variety is spent on disabled and underprivileged children in the Island. Without their help in Jersey many children would suffer. The charity has raised over £3,000,000 in the Island. In the last ten years the club has undertaken many projects including; donating £2,500 towards a trip to Manchester United for the Jersey Learning Difficulties Football Team, purchasing 16 Sunshine Coaches for local Schools and Youth Clubs making 42 in total, built a Library, a Sensory Room and set up the 'Toy Library' at Mont A l'Abbe School and many other wonderful things. The club arranges many events to promote awareness and to raise funds locally. Events this year they have included a Grand National Luncheon, Variety Golf Day at La Moye Golf Club, ‘I Served the Kids’ children’s party at the Radisson Hotel, to name a few. “All that we raise goes to children locally, you would be very surprised at how many children actually need our help in the island” explains Chris Robin. He further comments “Without the help of our sponsors Jacksons this night would not be able to go ahead.” The Variety Charity Ball 2011 is a black tie dinner and show it is taking place at the Hotel de France on Saturday 12th November from 6.30pm tickets cost £85. If you would like to stay over at the hotel they are offering a rate of £45 per person which includes breakfast.

Superstar DJ… Here we go… Hustle presents Lottie, one of the girls, one of the best female DJ’s in the world… Playing at Pure on Saturday 12th November… Returning to Jersey is the International DJ, Lottie. Having played Jersey on a number of occasions, this lady of house music is back by popular demand. Playing for Hustle, the night started 4 years ago by local DJ Suze Rosser (now mostly found across the water, turning the tables in London and beyond), Lottie is one of those ladies who always pulls a crowd to the dance floor. Female DJs used to be a rare and treasured breed, with but a handful of them able to break through and be hailed as pioneers of their genre and class of music movement: Lottie is up there as one of those pioneers. Having been DJing since her teens, Lottie was inspired by the Hacienda club scene which she was blessed enough to experience, Lottie didn’t take long to reach Clubland on a European scale and found herself DJing in major clubs in record (pardon the pun) time. Securing a residency in 1993 at renowned London club, Turnmills in Clerkenwell, Lottie’s profile was on the up. Going on to guest DJ at underground clubs on a global scale meant that she was prepped for big things and all the while, flying the female flag and flaunting the funkiness of femininity. A popular Essential Mix on Radio 1 established Lottie as a headline DJ, a dream come true. She has since played everywhere – from Glastonbury to Hungary, Miami, Brazil and Barcelona to name a few stamps on her DJ passport. As things worked on the up and up, Lottie went on to win the Sony Ericsson Musik magazine’s Best New DJ award, the Dancestar Best Breakthrough DJ Award… The greatest award, however, had to be the recognition and notoriety; plus the Missdemeanours Night and Label with Caroline Prothero (current manager of David Guetta). Artists affiliated with the label back then, included Daft Punk, Felix Da Housecat, Layo & Bushwhacker and a host of other big names. Aside from Lottie’s turntable talent, as a gorgeous young woman, she was top of her game in marketability - gracing the covers of magazines such as i-DJ, Time Out and Muzik. Lottie has also hosted the coveted Radio 1, Friday Night Essential Selection Show for Pete Tong… proving her talent stretched beyond behind the decks. Lottie now continues to fly the flag for female DJs and is a part of Geisha, which was set up with Suze Rosser, promoting female-based nights from London to Ibiza. Started in 2010, Geisha brings rising star female DJ talent to the forefront to play alongside those ladies who have already made their mark in Clubland. From all of the clubbing and late nights, parties and glamour that being an iconic female DJ brings, Lottie is one of the most down to earth ladies in Clubland – as a mother, her life twins two polar opposites; that of nurturer and nocturnal. Raising a little boy whilst championing the female role in DJing makes Lottie a very busy woman indeed. Lottie will be setting the dance floor alight in Pure on Saturday 12th November with support from Hustle creator, Suze Rosser and local DJ gent, Ray Grant. Entry is £6 on the door and a night of guaranteed groove is in store, so if you’re keen to get down and dance this weekend, Pure is the place to go, from 10pm until 2am!

LONDON CALLING... Or is it? An Interview with Top Buzzer Jersey’s music scene has been thriving in the past decade, with more A-list bands and DJs performing in the island than ever before, thanks partly to the Jersey Live festival and to individual promoters, and almost certainly in part to the advent of file sharing and social media, which has exposed music fans and aspiring musicians to a broader spectrum of music than ever before. Whether in London, New York or Grouville, we have an equal level of access to new and varied music. But the question remains, can a musician remain in Jersey and seriously pursue a career in music? With the recent news that islander Lloyd Yates has signed a deal with recording giants EMI, one might be tempted to say ‘yes.’ However, there are plenty of other Jersey-born artists plying their trade overseas, with varying degrees of success. Take Top Buzzer, for example. The punk trio have released two albums and several singles, and have toured extensively in Europe and USA. We caught up with drummer Craig Welsh to find out what he thinks on the matter.

When and why did you leave Jersey? Originally I left just to go to college in London. That only lasted a year though as within a month of being over there I ended up with the band.
What’s been your biggest musical success since leaving? I’d have to say getting to tour the States seeing as America is... Well, it’s America. We spent five weeks out there and played 21 shows. It was a whole new world living on the road over there coming from an island this small.
What have been your favourite gigs in the UK and beyond? Surprisingly places in the UK you wouldn’t imagine. The smaller towns. They don’t have a hundred gigs on a night like London so people seem to go for it more. As for beyond, Germany and the Netherlands are awesome.
What brings you back to Jersey? We’re in the middle of recording a new EP. The drums were recorded in London but we’re gonna finish it off in Jersey. We’ve played three shows too while we’re over – at The Splash, Live Lounge and The Star.
Do you think bands/artists need to leave Jersey in order to achieve any career success? I hate to say it, but yes. Unless you turn out to be an internet sensation. People have the mentality that you come from a small place like Jersey so you ain’t gonna be any good. I learnt the hard way. Just get out there and prove to them they’re wrong.
What advice would you give to bands that are thinking about making the step across the Channel? Practice, save up and grow some thick skin. It’s a bumpy ride.
Any new records in the pipeline? We’re in the middle of recording what is going to be called The Sprollie EP which’ll hopefully be out in January.
What Jersey bands would you recommend? There’s so many great acts about. I’m loving Jaded Things at the moment. Their new EP is great. You can download it for free on the net. Falenizza Horsepower I really love too. Fantastic live. Also a big fan of Bulletproof, The Morves, Lizzard Channel and Pirate Video Company!

Eating Out by Jon Moore, news@jerseyweekly.com
Tassili at The Grand, The Grand Hotel • dining@grandjersey.com • 722301
TASSILI AT GRAND JERSEY is decadent, intimate, opulent and refined; fine-dining at its very best. Tassili (a name which is inspired by a dark, crystal filled cave dwelling) is the latest eatery to be honoured with the industry’s highest accolade – The Michelin Star. Tassili is also honoured with three AA Rosette’s. Executive head Chef, Richard Allen creates a platform for the very best of Jersey’s local and seasonal produce to be showcased in a unique style with a personal touch in an environment of the highest calibre.
We were still talking about the previous course when out came the next – scallops that seemed to melt and disappear in the mouth, on an apple and vanilla purée with scallop essence. The scallop essence is a benchmark of molecular gastronomy – it’s a way of eating something rich in a very light, fragile and delicate way, truly delightful.
Upon arrival we were welcomed by Shaun Corrigan, a well travelled and practiced waiter, whose product knowledge and wealth of experience soon held our attention as he talked us through the three menus on offer. We opted for the seven course ‘tasting menu’ – a perfect way to sample the best of Tassili.
The fifth and eagerly anticipated course was the Black Angus beef fillet. The beef had been cooked on a low heat for much longer than usual to keep it exceptionally tender and pink – so tender, that it was served with a butter knife! This was complimented by a haggis ‘bonbon’ and braised oxtail – definitely one for meat lovers.
The wine that was recommended for us was Verdicchio di Matelica from the Marche region in Italy. Shaun carefully selected our wine to beautifully compliment each course and it was a bottle versatile enough to be enjoyed with seafood or red meat.
Our ‘pre dessert’ was my favourite; we were presented with what looked like a fried egg in the centre of an ornate bowl. The consistency of the white and the yolk both remained true to the egg but the taste, thankfully, couldn’t have been further away. I don’t quite know how he did it but once you cut into the mango ‘yolk’ it popped and ran – we were both left speechless and in awe of what was an experience beyond just dinner.
After a selection of fresh, home made rolls with the choice of either salted or unsalted Jersey butter, our taste buds were tingled by an Amuse Bouche – a mushroom arancini on a wild mushroom sauce, topped with a mushroom, jelly disc, all sourced locally from Funghi Delecti. The next dish was a goats cheese frita, served on a slab of marble with the very rare and prestigious ibérico ham. The presentation of this dish was remarkable and decorated beautifully – almost too good to eat. The sour dough crisp waved down the centre of the plate, complimented by baby beetroot, ibérico ham and the goats cheese – balanced with almonds.

The sea bass with crab mayonnaise, saffron and crab essence came next; Richard Allen utilising the best local produce Jersey has to offer and delivering a plate of mouth watering indulgence.
Finally, came the banana cake, with salted caramel, coconut yoghurt ice cream and peanut brittle. This was a beautiful balance of flavours, textures and temperatures that was a perfect ending to a perfect menu. Tassili is an exceptional experience, it’s Michelin starred but still remains true to its Jersey roots with an exquisite modern British menu with a home-grown twist. Many thanks indeed to Stef, Shaun and the rest of the team at Tassili, we’re still salivating from the memories…

2012 Swimarathon is a Celebration of Youth
The 2012 Swimarathon will take place at Les Quennevais Leisure Centre from 7th to 11th March 2012. Information about entering a team is available from the Swimarathon Administrator, PO Box 397, St Helier, Jersey JE4 9ZX or via email swimarathon@jerseymail.co.uk
Sports charity launches sailing bursary Youngsters with a passion for sailing could be awarded a bursary thanks to Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited. In conjunction with Le Tournoi, a local charity, which aims to help disadvantaged youngsters through annual corporate-sponsored sporting events, the bank is offering £500 to this year’s recipient. Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited has committed to funding the bursary for three consecutive years.
As a tribute to the late Hannah Johnson, the Lions Club of Jersey’s Young Ambassador of the 21st Century 2009, local youth organisations will be the main beneficiaries of the 2012 Swimarathon. Organisers the Lions Club of Jersey and event sponsor RBC Wealth Management launched next year’s Swimarathon at La Motte Street Youth Centre, St Helier, where they revealed how the Island’s youth clubs and associations will benefit from at least £45,000 of support. They were joined by Hannah’s mother, Carole Johnson, and representatives of the Jersey Youth Service, as well as by staff and young people from Le Squez Youth Club who were among the beneficiaries of the 2011 Swimarathon. The Head of Jersey Youth Service, Mark Capern, said he was thrilled that the young people of the Island stood to gain from next year’s swim. “Jersey’s youth clubs and projects are always very active, with plenty going on and limitless ideas for the future. This funding means clubs can continue to broaden their activities and services to meet the needs of young people. Whether they apply for new resources for their clubs or for schemes that will help develop young people, the funds will be a fantastic bonus for all positive work done by the sector,” he said. Lions Club President Mike Labey said: “Hannah Johnson was an inspiration for all young people and we felt that it would be most appropriate for us to donate a Lions’ share of the receipts from the 2012 Swimarathon to Jersey’s youth organisations in her memory. We will be donating £45,000 or 40 per cent of the moneys raised, whichever is the greater, and we hope this will encourage our swimmers and supporters to achieve even more than last year’s magnificent total.” This will be the sixth year that RBC Wealth Management has sponsored the event. Chris Blampied, Managing Director, Royal Bank of Canada (Channel Islands) Limited, also attended the launch. “The Swimarathon is a great community event and it is good to see that after 40 years it is still greeted with so much enthusiasm and affection. RBC Wealth Management is really proud of its involvement and we look forward to the continued success of our relationship with the Lions Club of Jersey and the 2012 Swimarathon,” he said.

“The bursary is open to any member of the Jersey community with a passion for sailing, but the aim is to help applicants who are disadvantaged in some way, be it financially or due to a disability,” said Le Tournoi chairman Andy Le Seelleur. “While there are a number of opportunities for sailing in our community, these do not abound for disabled youngsters in particular, and are generally confined to only a few options. We want to offer a wider range of opportunities through our network and make it a special occasion for the deserving winner. We are extremely grateful to Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited as the bursary could not be offered without its financial support.” The bursary will be open to youngsters in Jersey this year, but may be open to those in the Bailiwick of Guernsey also, in the future. Le Tournoi patron Geoff Holt MBE and 2010 Yachtsman of the Year said he has witnessed first hand the sense of freedom and enjoyment that sailing can provide. “Before I became disabled, sailing provided me with my livelihood. Once disabled, it became my saviour. Sailing provides the most level of all playing fields where individuals, regardless of ability, can sail together, as friends or as competitors. That is incredibly empowering for a disabled person and for that reason, I am incredibly proud to be a patron of Le Tournoi,” said Mr Holt. Anyone who is interested in applying for the bursary can download an application form at www.letournoi.org. All applications will be reviewed and the bursary given on the basis of an individual’s financial constraints, social disabilities or disadvantages and his or her ambition to further their sailing experience. “Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited has sponsored Le Tournoi for two-and-a-half years now and over that time has witnessed the fantastic work done by the charity to enable youngsters from all walks of life to get involved with sporting activities. The three-year commitment to funding the bursary is an extension of our support and contribution to the community in which our business operates,” said Kevin Allen, head of Investec Bank in Jersey. The bursary winner will also receive new kit from Gill UK. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 30th November.

The Modern Hotels Jersey Half Marathon Sunday 20th November
Taking a single lap of the picturesque east of Jersey, runners who choose to enter this late-in-the-year half marathon can expect stunning views of the French Coast and many of the landmarks that make Jersey famous. Visitors and locals alike are invited to enter. Modern Hotels offer an attractive package for non-Jersey sports-people - which should ensure that healthy competition is there; should you want it. Of course, if you want to be leisurely and take in the view, you are more than welcome.
The Modern Hotels Jersey Half Marathon is a traditional thirteen (13.1) mile road race, beginning and ending at the Jersey Athletics track (FB Fields) at St Clement. The undulating course gradually climbs for the first three miles, following the inside road to Le Boulivot. From this first mile marker, the next waypoint is the historic Neolithic burial chamber of La Hougue Bie, in it’s high spot in Grouville. The going flattens out somewhat here, and it’s on past the Five Oaks area for another mile until Rue du Hucquet. It’s a slightly easier downhill and undulating road to St Martin’s Garage next, and on to Ransoms Garden Centre - which is also the first drinks station. Until this point, much of the running has been inland and on suburban roads amongst houses and hedgerows, but the following descent into Gorey should pick up the spirits of any struggling runner. The view is breathtaking as you descend into Gorey Harbour, under the watch of Mont Orgueil Castle, that has loomed over that particular downhill stretch for centuries. Onwards along Gorey Esplanade to Grouville Garage, the corner of the coast road, and it’s the coast road that perhaps makes the most impressive leg of the race.

The beautiful East coast is taken in, with relatively flat roads. It’s slightly easier - as long as the wind is favourable (lets hope it’s behind the runners this year) - going through Fauvic.

The sea air will now be filling the lungs of runners as the picturesque small hump of La Rocque - it’s moon like sand and rock features seaward and Martello tower - is climbed and quickly descended. On through Pontac to Green Island, and the finish - back where it all began - at FB Fields, St Clements. Now, how long this takes depends on the runner and the conditions, but the fastest runners in 2010 appeared to take around seventy-five minutes, give or take some seconds. This is astonishing when you consider the inclines and twists that the course covers, and is testament to the commitment and drive of the men and women who take this just that seriously. Every participant receives a medal and T-shirt, and there are spot prizes and a goody bag, plus - of course - prizes given for the winners. The Half Marathon is a UK Athletics (UKA) bronze graded event - the British Association of Road Races (BARR) and UKA have scrutinised each annual race and awarded for race management, organisation, on course facilities and drink and sponge stations. There will be a pasta evening on the evening of the race, held at the Mayfair Hotel, all are welcome - ideal for replenishing those lost carbohydrates and calories - at a cost of £9 per person. The race entry fee is £13 to affiliated athletics club members, or £15 to unaffiliated runners. For entry forms or information, please contact Mary McGrath on 01534 863772. Alternately, email marymcgrath@jerseymail.co.uk or visit www.jerseyspartan.com We wish all the entrants good luck, fair winds and good times.

WORLD AND EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS Spain take on England this weekend in a Street League International 2011 match at Wembley Stadium. It’s the first time Spain have visited the English capital since Euro ‘96, although it will be the second time this year for more than half the starting line-up, who were part of Barcelona’s Champions League-winning team in May. Three days later England – who have already qualified for Euro 2012 – will face Sweden for the visiting team’s first match at the new Wembley Stadium, and their first trip to London since the goalless draw at Wembley in 1999. The last time England beat Sweden at Wembley, in fact, was in 1968, with goals from Sir Bobby Charlton, Martin Peters and Roger Hunt. Both internationals will again be overshadowed by controversy, with Wayne Rooney benched for both games and John Terry retaining the captain’s armband despite an ongoing alleged racism spat. Rooney, sent off in England’s last Euro qualifier, will miss all three of England’s group games, and boss Fabio Capello has vowed to ditch the Manchester United striker this international break in his bid to find a possible Rooney replacement. Though a tie against the world champions will be a brilliant test for a home side desperately hoping to live up to their hype, England’s international performances are not always as lively as their off-the-pitch debate. What does promise exciting football, however, is this weekend’s FA Cup first round matches, which mark the start of the 131st season of the world’s oldest association football knockout competition. It’s been said in recent years that the FA Cup has lost its shine, as lower league teams chase the money-spinners, rather than the trophy itself. It’s true that, while teams outside the top flight have always struggled to succeed in the FA Cup, the Premiership years have seen a sharp decrease in involvement from top flight sides who have finished outside of the top three. Furthermore, in the past two decades, a handful of elite clubs have increasingly held a monopoly over the Cup: while upsets still occur in the early rounds, there are rarely any surprises come May. But the early rounds are, undoubtedly, where the magic happens. Teams who survive rounds one and two will be gunning for the glamour that comes with a New Year FA Cup third round tie – traditionally a time when the Premier League big boys risk falling flat on their faces in the January mud.

Last year, the third round dished up two massive giant killings as Newcastle and Derby both fell victim to lower league teams. Stevenage ran out deserved 3-1 winners against Newcastle, whilst Conference side Crawley Town stunned Derby with a 2-1 victory at the Broadfield Stadium. Crawley continued their dream run with a fourth round win at Torquay, but despite a brilliant battling performance they were finally beaten by a strong Manchester United team at Old Trafford. League One outfit Leyton Orient, meanwhile, took Arsenal to a fifth round replay thanks to an 89th equaliser from Jonathan Tehoue – and the feat also earned them a trip to Las Vegas, courtesy of a delighted chairman Barry Hearn. The tournament has become known for the possibility for minnows from the lower divisions to become giant-killers, by eliminating top clubs from the tournament, although lower division teams rarely progress beyond the early stages. The qualification rounds and a system of bys mean that the very smallest and very biggest teams almost never meet – yet it can and does happen. One of the biggest ever FA Cup upsets was achieved by non-League side Sutton United, who became famous overnight for their 2-1 third round win over Coventry City 2-1 in 1989. The shock result came less than two years after City won the Cup with a shock result of their own – a memorable 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur – and Sutton United’s 2-1 win still stands as the last time a club from the non-League beat a team from the domestic top flight in the FA Cup. The current holders of the Cup are Manchester City, who beat Stoke City 1–0 in the 2011 final for their fifth Cup triumph and first since 1969. Yaya Toure’s late left-footed strike won City the famous trophy at Wembley: Toure, who also scored the winner against Manchester United in the semi-finals, scored with 16 minutes left to play to cap a fantastic week for the Manchester club, after they also guaranteed automatic promotion to the Champions League in the same week. With City still top of the Premier League and unbeaten so far this season, they will, without doubt, be looking to defend their trophy. But this weekend they may have one eye on the underdogs. Although this weekend’s first round matches field teams no higher than League One standard, all would relish a chance to topple the champions, should they manage to reach that lucrative third round.

spectators, fans and competitors of all ages – in many events class categories run from age six to 70+.
WHAT’S THE BACKGROUND?
SPORT Words // Marcus Quinn • Feature Design // Jon Moore
VITAL STATS
Club: Jersey Motorcycle & Light Car Club Founded: 1920 Members: Around 600 Cost of membership: Starts at £20 yearly for juniors. Adult membership is around £50, and a family membership is £70. Other costs: Car driver (MSA) or motorcycle rider (ACU) racing licenses must be paid for on top, as well as kit, vehicles and vehicle repairs. Fact: Planning for the 2012 Jersey Rally is already underway. It’s become such a huge fixture that it now takes a full 12 months to plan and organise. Contact: Club secretary Carol Le Viellez, 852952 Find out more: www.jerseymotorsport.com
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? The JMC&LCC runs more than 50 motor sport events in Jersey each year, including hill climbs, motocross, trials, rallies and sand racing, as well as four major events which attract hundreds of entries from overseas competitors: The British Hill Climb Championship, the two-day Festival of Motocross, the Jersey Rally and the annual two-day trial in November. Martin, who is one of few able to race competitively on two and four wheels, says: “The JMC&LCC was one of just five clubs in the UK to organise a national hill climb event in 1947, which is when the championship started, and we haven’t missed a year since. I’ve taken part myself in the Jersey Rally, multi-surface rallies, navigational rallies, auto-tests and sand racing on four wheels, hill climbs and sprints on a bike and a car, plus a few supermoto bike race meetings in the UK. I know the motocross track here is highly-rated by the UK riders, and the uniqueness of rallying in the Jersey lanes keeps the drivers coming back year after year. The two-day trial in November still brings more than 100 foreign riders every year, which is also a welcome boost for tourism at that time of year.”
WHAT’S THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CALENDAR?
WHAT’S THE ATTRACTION? “I’ve been fanatical about motor sport from the age of ten, but it was when I was working as an apprentice at Public Works vehicle workshop that I watched my colleague, Mike Fleming, compete in the Jersey Rally, and decided to have a go myself,” says Martin Keith, a member and former JMC&LCC president. “Mike gave me a lot of help and advice and, over the next five years, I built my own car and competed in it. I absolutely loved every minute of it. I was earning £76 a week and spending £40 on parts for my car, with the remaining £36 paying for fuel, my board at home and going out once a week! It can be demanding to fit it all in, but the thrill of competing or the satisfaction from helping out make it all worthwhile. I have made many friends through the club over the last 20 years and it’s fair to say my life would have been a lot duller without my passion for motor sport,” he says.
WHO’S INVOLVED? Of the 600 or so JMC&LCC members, around 100 are juniors. Young competitors can take part in motorcycle events from the age of six, and car events from 14. Many of the club’s members are families, and others are men and women, girls and boys,

The Jersey Motorcycle & Light Car Club (JMC&LCC) was actually formed to organise and host motorcycle events, but cars were later invited to take part. “The majority of vehicles who took part at that time, which was a few years after the club was formed, were sports cars,” says JMC&LCC vice president Richard Buchanan. All events were cancelled during the Occupation, but following the Island’s Liberation in 1945 the club resurrected a regular schedule of race events.
Probably the Paperclix Jersey Rally, which is taking place this weekend. It is not only one of the most anticipated motor sport events in the Channel Islands, but it has become one of the most talked-about events on the international rally calendar. Current JMC&LCC president Melvin Le Feuvre says: “The Jersey Rally has now been a part of our calendar for 29 years, and it has presented Islanders with a chance to see top names and quality racing on their doorstep. The world of motor sport has recognised Jersey as a place of excellence for many years, and it’s the great reputation of the event which causes visiting drivers, their crews and fans to return year after year.”
WHAT MAKES THE BLUB SO SPECIAL? “There has always been a fantastic camaraderie, with competitors willing to lend spares to their rivals and help repair their machines,” says Martin. “One of my first outings with the club was the 1986 Spring Festival Rally, and as an 18-year-old who lived in St Brelade, I had no idea where one of the stages was. Thankfully one of my fellow competitors, Nigel Pallot, showed me the way. That sense of camaraderie remains to this day, and it’s great to see whole families at events, whether they are competing or supporting a son or daughter in their sport,” he says.

Electricity price freeze for a third winter.
How painful is your oil/gas bill now?
Domestic oil and gas prices have risen by an uncomfortable *87% and *41% in the past two years to June, while Jersey Electricity prices have fallen. We cut prices by 5% in 2010, froze them this year and now we’re maintaining tariffs at current levels again to help you keep warm this winter. That’s two-and-a-half years of stable prices. Affordable, secure and sustainable electricity.
Isn’t it time you made the switch?
