Local News Roundup Words by Jen Smith from Channel 103, news@jerseyweekly.com
And the winner is...
Senator Ian Gorst is Jersey’s new Chief Minister. The former Social Security Minister won the open ballot by 3 votes. Sir Philip Bailhache – who had been the favourite for many secured 24 votes compared to Gorst’s 27. Gorst told Channel 103 his priorities would be unity in government, employment and tackling social issues. You can see how the new States assembly voted at www. channel103.com/news

disappointed the change has been targeted only at the Channel Islands. He says it’s highly discriminatory and wants to know if the UK government is able to pick on us in this way. Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean echoed Mr Keen’s sentiments, saying no other jurisdictions have been singled out in the same way. A ministerial task force has been developing a contingency plan to support the sector and its workers who might lose their jobs. The Treasury Minister says the States do have money set aside for ‘unexpected problems like this’. Channel 103’s been asking what you think about the threat to more than 700 jobs in the Island on Facebook.
UK Treasury Minister MP David Gauke told the British Government Low Value Consignment Relief would be reduced to zero.

The House of Commons heard how the HM Treasury sought advice from the European Commission.
Last week the States approved the Treasury Minister’s budget with only one amendment, an amendment that came from the Treasury Minister himself. It was one of the shortest budget debates in living memory.
That advice gave them the all clear to force Jersey and Guernsey companies selling goods to the UK to charge for VAT. It’ll threaten our fulfillment industry, and put hundreds of workers’ jobs in doubt. It’ll also spell potential disaster for Jersey Post, as a large chunk of their business is based in consignment. We’re told the loophole will close on the 1st of April next year. Ministers here are seeking legal advice over whether the UK is able to scrap tax relief on all goods from Jersey and Guernsey. Jersey Post’s Kevin Keen has told Channel 103 he’s
States approve ‘straightforward’ 2012 budget
Within a day an overwhelming majority of 37 votes in favour to 5 against had agreed to Senator Ozouf ’s plans. It means higher income tax thresholds, generous stamp duty limits for first-time buyers and more childcare relief. It was billed as a budget that gives something back. Pre-school childcare relief will almost double to £12,000, and the change will apply to 2011 tax returns. The budget was agreed before the news of the scrapping of low value consignment relief.

Electric ideas for Jersey’s taxis
The DVS has given the green light to the idea of using the Nissan LEAF as a licensed taxi. Local firm Luxicabs - which already uses hybrid vehicles wants to move to all-electric cars to cut fuel bills.
The newly-refurbished Jersey Opera House was unveiled last week.
John Ross is talking to Jersey Electricity about installing the chargers for them.
Visitors can see new studios, an upstairs bar and a bigger cafe. £1 million of public money was used from the Fiscal Stimulus Fund.
“Jersey Electricity see the potential, they’re very excited, it’s a win win for everybody. I mean fuel supply wise and for the Island as a whole”.
All the work has been completed with the aim of getting more people using the building and spending money there. It had taken five months to transform derelict and neglected parts of the theatre which been untouched for more than a decade. Jasmine Hendry, the theatre’s director, told Channel 103: “We intend to establish children’s theatre groups and host small-scale performances, not to mention we will now be able to offer corporate hospitality and ‘away days’.

No dog’s life
We discovered last week how one Jersey family is counting down the days until they’re reunited with their family pet. Dexter the dog has been stranded in France since the 6th of March after his owners didn’t realise he needed a passport. The Shitzu was taken on the ferry for a weekend away and had no problems… until the return journey. Owner Shelia Reynolds told Channel 103 it’s a mistake she’ll never make again: “When you go to the airport you know what you should or shouldn’t have in your bags, but they still ask you. It just took one person to say, has the dog a passport? But I guess it was a bit of a blonde moment on my part”. Since Dexter’s misadventure Condor Ferries have started displaying posters warning pet owners they’ll need documentation. There’s likely to be an emotional reunion when Dexter comes home on 20th November.

Christmas Walk organisers aim for bumper entries to mark 10th year
past six years 75% of sponsorship monies have been donated to Jersey Hospice Care and 25% to the Motor Neurone Disease Association, whose sufferers are also cared for by the Hospice, and the same will apply this year. Jersey Christmas Walk co-organiser Laurent Thebault said: “If you haven’t done it before, why not give it a go. It’s a very friendly walk and no matter what the weather conditions are like, it never ceases to amaze me how many people of all ages tell me how much they enjoy the day. This year is the tenth walk and we hope that we get more than 200 walkers to enter. The new relay option will hopefully encourage more people to sign up with friends and family. There is always a really special atmosphere during the Christmas Walk and I would encourage anyone looking for a new challenge to join in.” Laurent added “We are grateful for the continued support of RBS International without whom the event wouldn’t be possible. As it is the tenth walk we are hoping to raise a record amount for the two charities. To date the event has seen £125,000 donated to these two very worthy causes and it would be fantastic if we could exceed the £150,000 mark with this year’s walk.”
The organisers of the Jersey Christmas Walk are hoping to attract more than 200 participants to this year’s walk on 10 December, bringing the number of people who will have participated since it started in 2002 to over 1000. As in previous years, there will be three courses of 44, 26 or 18 miles for walkers to choose from and, for the first-time, an 18 mile relay option will also be available for up to four entrants per team. The 44 mile route round the island starts and finishes at Ouaisne and the 26 mile route is from Ouaisne to Les Fontaines Tavern with both starting at 2am. The 18 mile option from Les Fontaines Tavern to Ouaisne (starting at 8.30am) can also be done as a team relay (starting at 9am) with between two and four people tackling the four legs between them comprising i) La Fontaines Tavern to Greve de Lecq; ii) Greve de Lecq to L’Etacq; iii) L’Etacq to La Pulente and iv) La Pulente to Ouaisne.

Girls Prep showed their creativity. For the school’s ECO Day (21st Oct) the students had gone all green and demonstrated ‘how important it is to look after our planet’. Pupils created a magnificent array of fantasy creatures and collages made from natural materials like twigs and leaves from the school garden. They also created ‘junk instruments’ from card board boxes and tin cans. Some groups had gone into baking yummy gingerbread men with Fairtrade products. The school invited EcoActive organizations. Genuine Jersey, Durrell Wildlife Trust, The Hedgehog Preservation Group and Jersey Kayak and Walk Adventures attended. The hall became the centre of activities for the Friday afternoon. Between the colourful stands there was singing and dancing, drumming and happy munching. At the stand of Jersey Walk Adventures the Sand Art Competition showed the creative talent of children with sand and beautiful Jersey shells. Within moments pretty fish sent their bubbles into the deep blue sea, wild crabs started walking over the sand and shoals of fish danced in the water. Young abstract artists built shell caves and sensitive scenes which they bravely titled “I want to go for a walk on the beach.” 42 children entered the sand art competition to win a guided family seabed exploration to Seymour Tower with Jersey Walk Adventures.
Registered nurses invited to return to practice
being invited to two open sessions which explain how they can get back into the profession in Jersey. The sessions are aimed at Islanders who are either already registered nurses, or whose registration has lapsed, but who have not practiced nursing recently, with the areas of specialism being general adult nursing and mental health. The ‘Return to Practice’ programme will start in May next year, run by the nurse education centre at Health and Social Services. Head of nursing and midwifery education at Health and Social Services, Julie Mesny, said: “We are holding the sessions on 23 and 24 November in the Education Centre in the Hospital, and we hope that anyone interested will come along, if they are a registered nurse, but haven’t worked as a nurse for some time. All we need interested people to bring with them is evidence of a current or prior registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.” Chief Nurse Rose Naylor added: “The course is a great opportunity for nurses living in Jersey to re-enter clinical practice as a safe and competent practitioner.” The course will consist of around 150 hours of theory, and 150 hours of clinical practice. Successful applicants will also have the opportunity to undertake supervised practice in an area related to their previous experience. Each person will also have a personal tutor, and excellent job opportunities. Deputy Anne Pryke, Minister for Health and Social Services, added: “As a former nurse, I know what a rewarding and challenging career nursing is, and I hope people who have taken a career break from the profession will come along and get to know more about nursing in Jersey now. This is an important opportunity for us not only to recruit people who want to re-start their nursing career, but also as part of HSSD’s commitment to develop local workforce capacity.” Anyone interested in attending the open morning, which will be held from 9:30 am to 11:30 am on 23 November, or the open evening session from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on 24 November, is asked to call Jenny Child at HSSD on 442087 or email: j.child@health.gov.je.

The durable graphic system has a slip resistant surface and the ability to be lifted and changed or easily removed without damage to the underlying surface. The unique properties of the graphics offer huge potential for a wide range of locations from retail parks and airports to access roads, walkways or parking bays. Additionally the product is manufactured from renewable materials and can also be recycled after use. David McGrath, Sales and Marketing Manager of The Marketing Bureau commented: “Applied Media will help to transform otherwise underutilised locations in Jersey into valuable high impact advertising spaces. We believe that advertisers will be quick to identify the opportunities presented by this product.”
The Marketing Bureau introduces new advertising media to Jersey Leading sales and marketing agency, The Marketing Bureau, has expanded its advertising offering with the introduction of a new outdoor floor graphic system. Applied Media is a unique outdoor surface media, specifically designed to facilitate prominent advertising campaigns under vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
“Nothing beats the personal touch when it comes to banking” say islanders
The product which is exclusive to The Marketing Bureau in Jersey has been approved and tested by Transport and Technical Services to meet health and safety requirements and will soon be visible across a number of locations in St Helier. Julie Littlemore, Managing Director of The Marketing Bureau said: “When someone’s eye catches something irregular on the floor, the natural response is to look at what they are stepping on, giving your brand or advertisement immediate viewing. This media will provide advertisers with a new and inventive way to reach their target market, and we’re delighted to be the first to introduce this to Jersey.” Larry Walsh, Business Development Director of Applied Media added, “We have been very much in a market development phase since the start of the year and we are working closely with The Marketing Bureau to introduce this to Jersey. We are also very excited to announce that Applied Media is now being considered by major sponsors for potential advertising campaigns around Olympic Games venues in London next year.” Indoor floor graphics are not new, but graphics, which are robust enough to stand up to motor traffic, and exhibit highway standards not to cause loss of grip, is something else.

A recent survey carried out by Barclays Wealth has revealed that islanders regard great, personalised service as key, although they are increasingly comfortable with elements of self-service technology. The results of this survey suggest a positive reception for the refurbishment of the flagship Library Place branch of Barclays Wealth, which officially re-opens on Friday 11 November. “Banking is stepping up to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands and expectations of personal clients, creating an environment which balances clients’ desire for the personal touch and that of self-service technology,” said Carol Bisson, Head of Local Markets at Barclays Wealth, Jersey.

Particularly in today’s difficult economic environment, it is the personal touch, access to experts who are friendly, knowledgeable, patient and who have clients’ interests at heart that sets banking organisations apart. “In recognition of this, we have invested significantly in improving our in-branch facilities to ensure that clients receive the highest levels of service, The new design allows our staff to spend more time with clients to help with advice and transactions. We’ve removed the counter screens to bring our friendly counter staff closer to the clients and provided cutting edge counter technology to improve the client experience. “Mindful of our clients’ need for confidentiality, we have also created a series of discrete meeting areas to facilitate discussions with our qualified mortgage advisors and personal bankers, and our expert Premier banking team. The Premier suite can be accessed from its own entrance and provides Premier clients with a one-stop shop for all banking needs and access to their investment advisor,” added Mrs Bisson. State of the art branch facilities provide access to online banking, the ability to carry out day-to-day transactions and retrieve bank statements from the past three months. Within weeks Barclays will also install cash and cheque paying-in machines which generate immediate transaction receipts. “We are delighted with the new design. It is a very visible demonstration of our commitment to continually improve the experience of all clients dealing with Barclays Wealth in Jersey, and will genuinely make a real difference. The investment is good news for Jersey, good news for our clients and also good news for our staff,” said Paul Savery, Managing Director, Barclays Wealth Intermediaries and International Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man. The results of the recent survey of 150 islanders show that 86 per cent of people surveyed prefer to speak to a person rather than going online or using a machine. However, although there is a preference for the personal touch, 95 per cent of people regularly use ATMs and 55 per cent of people use self-service tills at the supermarket. When referring to banking transactions, 40 per cent of bank customers would rather use the self-service facilities than queue for a cashier.
Response to ending of Low Value Consignment Relief for goods imported from the Channel Islands

value, will be subject to UK VAT at 20%. Senator Alan Maclean says there has been work underway for some time on this issue. He said “A ministerial task force, chaired by the Chief Minister, has been co-ordinating action across Government. It has been working on three complementary strategies: firstly, the political and potential legal engagement with the UK government over the policy decision itself; secondly, working with those in the industry to help retain fulfilment businesses operating in Jersey; and thirdly, the development of a contingency plan in case some jobs are lost as a result of the uncertainty over future arrangements for the industry. “The change will affect hundreds of livelihoods across the Island and in view of this impact, we are taking legal advice in conjunction with members of industry. We would not want discrimination against the Channel Islands to go unquestioned when it has the potential for a severe impact on islanders.” Ministers have been working on a contingency plan in case the fulfilment industry is left unable to fully compensate for the resulting losses. Existing initiatives to support islanders who are seeking work will be expanded: schemes like Advance to Work, through which 238 young people have found employment, and Advance Plus, which has found jobs for 81 long term unemployed. A team from the Economic Development and Social Security Departments is working with employers to ensure that opportunities for local job seekers are maximised, by ensuring that local residents have the right skills to be first in line for the available jobs. The Social Security Minister, Deputy Ian Gorst, said “We will be liaising with major employers in Jersey’s hospitality, retail, agriculture and construction sectors. These sectors employ a significant number of staff and we need to determine the specific skills applicants need to fill upcoming vacancies. “The Skills Executive has commissioned the Skills Board to work with the Education Department to examine the training needs of those who may lose their jobs and to recommend what additional capacity is needed at Highlands College and elsewhere. “As the department is notified of job vacancies, a team will be contacting employers with lists of suitable candidates who are registered as unemployed with 5 or more years of residency, in order to enhance the prospect of locals securing jobs.” Senator Maclean added “Online sales are an important part of Jersey’s e-commerce sector. Its companies employ more than 700 people, the majority of whom are locally qualified. This business also produces significant revenue for Jersey Post and other postal operators. “We need to work with the industry and its employees to minimise the impact of the UK Government’s announcement on our e-commerce sector and on the people who work within it.”

More recently she wrote and starred in Hot Wax and two series of American Pie.

Jersey could soon have its first all-electric taxi-fleet in the form of the Nissan LEAF following a meeting in the Island this week between representatives of a UK Nissan EV dealership, Luxicabs and Jersey Electricity. The DVS gave the green light in principle to the Nissan LEAF being licensed as a taxi when the 2011 European Car of the Year was shown to officials during a three-day visit to Jersey. The LEAF is proving to be the most sought all-electric car on the market so far. The stylish, four-door family saloon has a top speed of 100mph and a range on a full charge of 109 miles at 30-40mph. Its 80kW electric motor is equivalent to 107bhp and it will accelerate from 0-60mph in 11.9 seconds. The LEAF can be fully charged on a standard home 13Amp socket in 12 hours or it can be fast charged to 80% in 30 minutes. The LEAF was in Jersey at the instigation of Luxicabs. Keen to cut escalating fuel bills and reduce its carbon emissions further, having already invested in the Toyota Prius Hybrid, the Jersey

taxi company approached Nissan directly as there are currently only 26 approved Nissan EV dealerships in the UK.
Royal Navy Officer Will Carnegie) the activity has been coordinated by Jersey Enterprise.
Family-run FJ Chalke of Wincanton, Somerset, immediately despatched two LEAFs to the Island with their EV Relationship Managers Shane Rendall and Lloyd Cressey to meet Luxicabs’ John Ross and directors of Jersey Electricity.
Minister for Economic Development Senator Alan Maclean sees the Schools Programme as fundamental to encouraging Jersey’s future business leaders and entrepreneurs: “The process of helping young Islanders to develop their business ideas and hone critical business skills even at an early age, yields genuine results for the Island as a whole when their ideas come to fruition in the future. We are delighted to be able to facilitate such a well received programme and to be participating in a global initiative that promotes private enterprise - crucial to future economic recovery.”
“As a taxi company we have significant monthly fuel bills which continue to rise,” said Mr Ross. “We investigated electric vehicles and the LEAF stood out but we wanted to make sure the LEAF was suitable as a taxi. We certainly feel it is and I’m delighted the DVS have approved it in principle. “We have already invested over £400,000 in the Toyota Prius Hybrid. This new generation of electric cars is even more environmentally sound so the LEAF ticks all the boxes from an environmental point of view and a business one. Jersey Electricity could fit our depot with the necessary charging equipment for us to take advantage of cheap rate electricity and FJ Chalke would provide the service back-up until it becomes available here.” JE CEO Chris Ambler said: “We are keen to help and encourage the uptake of electric vehicles and for taxis running 24 hours a day to go electric would be a great step forward. It is important for anyone considering buying an electric car that they take advantage of discounted electricity on our off-peak tariffs as this utilises our network and evens out demand while ensuring electric motoring is even more economical.”
Jersey Shows Its Entrepreneurial Spirit As Part Of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2011
The States of Jersey are again encouraging Islanders to take part in Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), running this year from Monday 14th - Friday 18th November, with a series of schools-based and public events designed to promote the spirit of entrepreneurialism. The week’s flagship event will once again be the highly successful Global Entrepreneurship Week Schools Programme, first run in 2009. This year, the programme will take place in 6 of the Island’s secondary schools and involve more than 870 pupils aged 14 to 17. Each school will take part in a day-long programme designed to develop teamwork skills and the ability to solve business problems, as well as to generate new and interesting business ideas. There will be a daily prize for the winning team from each school. Local entrepreneurs, government officials, sports and business leaders will also participate as mentors during the week- providing pupils with Jersey-based case studies and inspiration. Facilitated by local event management company Hi5 (run by Jersey-born round the world sailor, entrepreneur and former
Will Carnegie of Hi5, commenting on his previous involvement with GEW said: “We are privileged to have been asked by Jersey Enterprise to run the GEW Schools Programme for the third year running. The sessions always generate some fantastic ideas and bode well for a future wave of Jersey entrepreneurs. The feedback from both pupils and mentors is always extremely positive and the programme is a pleasure to run.” As part of the week’s additional GEW activity, local investment facilitation company Envestors will be running two groundbreaking events, the first of which is a ‘Raising Equity Finance Breakfast Seminar’ designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs, pre-revenue start-up companies and early stage, high-growth businesses to ‘get fit for Business Angel funding’. All attendees will also have the opportunity to enter a competition which could lead to them pitching to genuine investors at a future Envestors event, and receiving free business advice to a value of £3,000. The seminar will take place at The Grand Hotel on Friday 18th November from 8:00am to 10:00am and participation is free. Places are limited on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested participants are invited to view more information about the event and register their attendance at: www.raisingfinanceevent. eventbrite.com or contacting Ed Daubeney at ed@envestors.je or calling him on 07797749355. Envestors will also be running an event aimed at local sixth form students designed to put themselves in the shoes of an active business angel investor. Called ‘Dragon for a Day’ the students will learn about the fundamentals of Angel Investing and working in teams they will have an imaginary £500,000 to invest in one of the selected hypothetical business proposals put before them. The team that proves to be the smartest investor will be presented with a prize at the end of the event. Ed Daubeney, Investment Director at Envestors, is thrilled to be involved in GEW again: “Envestors are delighted to have been approached by Jersey Enterprise to participate in GEW 2011. We want these events to provide all attendees with the opportunity to receive practical advice about developing a business and raising equity finance. We truly believe that there are some great local businesses and entrepreneurs that could really thrive by gaining support from Jersey’s Angel Investors and we want to identify and assist them. We also hope that our ‘Dragon for a Day’ event inspires some local students to get involved in entrepreneurial activity in the future.”

Money & Investments Roundup Compiled by Marcus Quinn, news@jerseyweekly.com
James McKeigue, Money Week Across the river from the City
The euro is heading down Last week, it forced both the Greek and Italian governments out of office. And Italy’s problems are bad news for the eurozone, says John Stepek in Thursday’s Money Morning: ‘What does Italy’s crisis mean for your money?’ After all, “if Italy is deemed to be bust, then few other countries are safe”. France could be the next target, and that really would be a tipping point. And when you break it down, there can only really be one of two broad outcomes. “If Germany gets its way, then the European Central Bank (ECB) will not be allowed to print money and bail out the frailer members. As a result, those eurozone members who can’t survive under a hard currency will end up leaving.” The other option is that Germany gives in and allows the ECB to print money. Then “the euro will weaken sharply. Germany may even leave the eurozone in disgust, which would result in the euro being even weaker”. What does that mean for your investments? “If the ECB ends up doing quantitative easing (QE), we’d expect to see a huge rally in stocks – that’s what printing money does”, says John. “If the ECB doesn’t, and some countries drop out of the euro, it would be very deflationary. We’d probably see more printing from the US and the UK to compensate, but it wouldn’t bode well for the banking system.” In the meantime, you should position your portfolios defensively, says John. “Hold some gold as a defence against more money-printing. Hold quality blue chips that can sustain their dividend yields even in the face of very tough economic conditions. Have some exposure to the US dollar – when the world is on the edge of financial disaster, it’s still the place that most investors run to.” “And hold on to cash. Yes, it’s painful at a time of high inflation, but you’ll need it to take advantage of the investment
opportunities that will almost certainly arise as this crisis plays out.” Later this month in MoneyWeek magazine, we’ll be getting in a group of Europe experts to give their views on how things will develop and to tip their favourite stocks in the region. Look out for it – and if you’d like to become a subscriber, you can claim your first three issues free at moneyweek.com.
A corporate bond to buy... There’s one opportunity that’s already on our doorstep, says Bengt Saelensminde, who writes our free investment newsletter, The Right Side. He’s talking about UK corporate bonds – which are issued by UK companies to raise money. “Too many people ignore bonds in favour of shares”, says Bengt, “but I think they’re a vital area for investors”. Bengt likes corporate bonds because they offer more security than stocks, and in some cases, more income. In other words, if a business goes bankrupt, bondholders get their money back before shareholders. Sure, such bonds aren’t danger-free, says Bengt. But “with inflation eroding the value of savings, I think it’s time to take a bit more risk and seek out some higher returns in the bond market”. Bengt’s top bond pick right now is the Enterprise Inns 6.5% December 2018 bond. He calculates that if you buy now and hold it until redemption you’ll make 12% per year. To find out exactly how Bengt comes to that figure read the piece in full online in: ‘The pros and cons of investing in retail bonds.’
And a high-yielding bank Contrarian investors may also want to consider David Stevenson’s latest tip. Right now the banking sector, especially in Europe, is hated by investors. Share prices have plummeted as investors, quite rightly, worry how the overstretched banks would be affected by a major sovereign default. Yet not all banks should have been sold off so much, says David in Friday’s Money Morning: ‘Invest in a European bank? It’s not as mad as it sounds.’ Take Sweden. The country had learned its lessons from a big banking blow-up in the 1990s, says David. “Sweden got its act together on its banks at the start of 2009. Seeing that there were potential problems ahead, it recapitalised lenders via a mix of private money and state support.”
“Further, the government made sure of something else early on. Any Swedish bank that joined the state-organised scheme had to stop paying bonuses and freeze top management’s pay.” As a result, “the country’s banks are better capitalised than most of their European and US rivals, and have better access to funding markets and a lower risk of default”. Yet despite their plus points, Swedish banks have been dragged down by the overall turmoil. In particular, David likes Nordea Bank (SS: NDA). It looks good value on “a current year p/e of just nine and with a prospective yield of 5%, which is forecast to rise to 5.7% in 2012. For a bank these days, that’s a very decent dividend”, says David.
Scotland the new Greece? Scotland’s politicians could learn from the European debt saga, blogs MoneyWeek editor-in-chief Merryn Somerset Webb. Alex Salmond is determined for Scotland to gain independence. But “will it be the new Greece?” asks Merryn. “If Scotland votes to go it alone, they will end up with either the euro or the pound as their currency. The latter is more likely than the former, given that there is no legal reason to think that any arrangements Westminster has made with Brussels would extend to Holyrood.” “So while Scotland’s government would get to tax and spend at will (for a while at least), interest rates and the like would probably end being set for Scotland by the Bank of England rather than the ECB.” Why does this matter? Because “Scotland would end up with something everyone in Europe is really wishing they didn’t already have: monetary union without fiscal union”. The idea of Scottish independence drew a mixed response from readers. Maxx wondered if it would benefit England. Alex felt that Scotland’s oil & gas reserves would stand it in good stead if it were independent. “Presumably Salmond et al model Scotland more on Norway than Greece. There is growing evidence of far more in the way of remaining hydrocarbons in the North Sea basin than previously thought.” You can follow these debates online at moneyweek.com

Sixth-formers battle for;
Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy Words // Image PR Feature Design // Jon Moore
The Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy is set to take place on the 26 November from 2pm at St James’ Centre – and this year is looking like the toughest competition yet.
In its third year, the event attracts students from the Island’s sixth forms to compete for the Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy and iQ vouchers worth £150. JCG are determined to hold onto the trophy for the second year, but Beaulieu, Hautlieu and Victoria College are providing stiff competition, with each school submitting four students to compete in the final. Last year’s winner, JCG student Kate McCallum, said: “The competition was brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone. I really enjoyed giving my speech and it was interesting to see how different each talk was. I definitely didn’t expect to win as the standard was very high. Before the competition, Image ran a series of workshops which gave me confidence not only in the competition, but also in public speaking generally.” Workshops were run before the competition by Image PR at each sixth form, at which students were given tips in public speaking, whether they chose to compete or not.
This year’s judges will be BBC Spotlight presenter & journalist Edward Sault; workshop & competition leader Peter Zunino; and account manager & local performing artist, Christophe Chateaux. Although entrance is free, tickets will need to be obtained from the Arts Centre box office. All applicants will receive feedback and a bronze, silver or gold certificate relating to their performance. For more information and to organise interviews please contact: Jessica Stanier, Image PR, on 01534 865657 or Jessica.stanier@imageci.com PICTURES: The winner: (left to right) Kate McCallum, last year’s winner; and Peter Zunino, Image PR Public Speaking Challenge Trophy organiser. The Competitors: The students who took part in 2010.
Workshop and competition leader, Peter Zunino said: “Public speaking is a great skill to have. Whether you need to speak everyday in front of employees, or you have been selected to make the best man’s speech at a wedding, there is going to come a point where it is important that you don’t let nerves get the better of you.
“Essentially, this is what our workshops and competition are for – to provide young people with the confidence and skills they need in order to speak effectively in public. This year’s workshops have shown strong candidates who are very eloquent, and passionate speakers – I think we will have a very hard job judging!”

Demystifying the Social Media Revolution Part 2 Words // Rebecca Seller • Feature Design // Jon Moore
The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is a form of communication for example a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social form of communication. Think Twitter, Facebook, Myspace… This is a website that doesn’t just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. This interaction can be as simple as asking for your comments or ‘liking’ a page. When we read a newspaper or listen to a report on TV we have a limited choice on how to express our thoughts on the matter - it is in effect a one way street. Social media is a two-way street that gives you the ability to communicate too. Last week we discussed the recent conference Social Jersey organised by Katherine Salt. Speakers Eileen Brown and Judith Lewis are experts in technology and online marketing. Jersey Weekly caught up with them to discuss the world of Social Media technologies and procedures. Eileen Brown is CEO of Amastra having previously worked for Microsoft. Eileen is also the successful author of “Working the Crowd: Social Media Marketing for Businesses.

JW: How important is the implication of Social Media to a company? EB: Anyone with an internet connection, an internet presence and time to invest in communications, can succeed in the global market. Small companies can broadcast their message using free social media tools. The peoplepowered social network can propagate and distribute your business idea further than you could do on your own. JW: What can be the negative effect of a company using Social technology to promote their brand? EB: As hard as it is to build a great reputation, it can easily and quickly be destroyed online. Companies that launch programs, without considering their strategy or engaging the services of an experienced trusted advisor, find that they are expending a lot of effort with minimal return. Social media can then cost a company more than just marketing budget. The reputation of a company can change at the speed of a mouse click. JW: Judith Lewis, who works in Search Engine Optimisation, has a great profile through her ‘Mostly about Chocolate’ blog. Do you think it is important to create a niche for yourself whilst using social technology? EB: Improving your online brand is really important if you want to maintain visibility and keep at the forefront of people’s minds. It’s not just about broadcasting on Twitter. In business we rely on networking and recommendations based on reputation. Your reputation matters in business. This is also true online. People won’t read your blog, or follow you on Twitter, or Like your business page on Facebook if you have a poor reputation. JW: You are involved with “Connecting Women in Technology”. Do you think there is a gender gap when it comes to technology? EB: There’s a gender gap across industries, not just the technology industry, which doesn’t seem to be reducing even in these enlightened times. The gender gap in wages (women’s wages are on average 17 per cent less than men’s) is partly explained by the fact that women tend to work predominately in stereotypical ‘female’ occupations. Explanations for this trend include the stereotyping of subject choices at school. Inflexibility in work means that once students have gone along a career path they find it difficult to change.

The blog grew out of the multiple requests I had about what chocolate I liked, what I recommended and that was taking over my personal site so I switched to a blog as it was the natural thing to do.

Jersey’s Economy; Signs of recovery? Words // Rick Jones Feature Design // Jon Moore
In a response to a recent question from Deputy Mike Higgins - who asked if Jersey had come out of recession yet - Senator Philip Ozouf described Jersey’s economy as ‘incredibly resistant’, citing “the entrepreneurial spirit of the Jerseyman” and how it had “left the Island in a strong position to recover”. However, the word on the streets, not to mention the results of the latest Business Tendency Survey - carried out by the States Statistics Unit - seems to indicate that the pressure is still on, belts have been tightened more than ever, and recent developments in UK law have Jersey residents worried. We look at recent economic developments and what they could mean...
AS ANYONE WITH EVEN ONE EYE on the news over the last few years will be aware, the world as a whole has been in the grip of what some have called ‘the greatest recession outside of war times’. Jersey hasn’t escaped this, despite it’s image as a haven for the wealthy and the seemingly high-standard of living enjoyed here, compared to some areas of the UK. Economic downturn is increasingly felt globally, as unified communications and other technology allows importation and ‘getting the best deal’ to take over from utilising more self-contained industries, such as farming and local manufacture. The fact is that the more we necessarily rely on importation for the essentials - food and fuel, the less insulated we are from issues that affect these resources globally. We cannot expect to escape the recession, although ideally, the job of our Government is to limit it’s effect as much as possible. This - limiting the effects of recession on Islanders - was the main theme that ran through the States Annual Business Plans and budget proposals since the 2009 announcement of a ‘New Strategic Plan’. The States announced that they had successfully created a £44m fiscal stimulus programme. This, they announced, would be used to reduce the pressure of the Global economic downturn on Island residents, communities and businesses.
They promised a return to balanced budgets by 2013. This was also intended to give the following Council of Ministers a sustainable base to continue from. However, no-one can read the future, and despite some positive news for Islanders regarding taxes on announcement of this years budget, several issues, both local and international have now cropped up. The overall feeling here amongst businesses and consumers that times are as hard as ever. This is reflected in the findings of the last ‘Business Tendency Survey’ - a quarterly ‘sampling’ of businesses carried out by the States Statistics Unit. The Statistics Unit is a body that, whilst operating under the administration of the Chief Ministers Office, carries out it’s work as an independent body. Designed to “provide qualitative information about the Island’s economy in a timely manner” - the survey asks the chief executive or managing director of the private sector businesses selected for ‘sampling’ to give their opinions on the current situation, compared to three months previous. It also enquires about their views and plans going forward. In essence, it’s a collation of data ‘from the trenches’ - figuratively speaking - and not the word of politicians with a vested interest in showing their methods to be effective.
They also made some rather tough calls on spending cuts and raising of taxes - in a way they deemed least damaging to employment and economic growth - to “Secure the long term future of the Island”.

THE REPORT FROM SEPTEMBER SHOWS: The headline all-sector Business Activity Indicator was -7 percentage points (pp), implying that the proportion of businesses in Jersey reporting a decline in business activity compared with 3 months previously was 7 pp greater than the proportion reporting an increase. Half of businesses reported ‘no change’. For the finance sector in September 2011, 5 of the 10 indicators were at a similar level to the previous quarter; the other 5 indicators were more negative, with several changing from positive to negative. For the non-finance sectors, overall, 9 of the 10 indicators were negative; the profitability and input costs indicators were the most strongly negative. All indicators for construction were negative; 6 of the 10 were improved on the negative levels seen in the previous round, with 4 being at their least negative for 12 months. 7 of the 10 indicators for wholesale and retail were negative. These results give us a view beyond the ‘incredibly resistant’ economy described by the Treasury Minister - although he has expressed in the media that his plans for the Fiscal Stimulus Fund will relieve at least the beleaguered construction industry somewhat.
The much publicised closing of the VAT loophole that put fulfillment and online retailers in Jersey at an advantage is a further concern for Islanders, as are spiraling fuel costs and the resultant effect on food and other imported resources. The danger of such impending news is that, psychologically at least, it becomes circular; for example, if the expectation develops that economic activity will slow, firms may decide to reduce employment levels and save money rather than invest. Such expectations can create a self-reinforcing downward cycle, bringing about or worsening a recession. For this reason, perhaps the Treasury Minister is right to attempt to be positive in the media and questioning. Perhaps, contrary to the opinion that he is trying to save face, he is aware of the above outlined phenomena, and is attempting to buoy up the public with some sensibility beyond traditional doom & gloom reporting. We can only hope that the States are on the ball, and the newly elected members have some vision and foresight with regards to protecting our quality of life here in Jersey. After all, we chose them.

Fairbairn’s former employees, head of private banking, David Stearn, and chief investment officer Russell Waite have set up the company alongside Justin Thomas, managing director of Fairbairn Trust Limited and private bankers Ben Stott and Julia Warrander. Between them they will be offering individuals in the UK and Channel Islands investment and trust services. “We are really excited for the launch and very much look forward to the turn of the year when we will come out of our set up phase” commented David Stearn. The company understands the need to build trust with the clients and act as their consultants. Stearn says “client’s lives are complex we want to be able to take the complexity away from the financial side and get them to trust us and act as guardians on their behalf.” The driving force behind setting up the company was the common theme of being passionate about clients, dealing with their affairs and doing the right thing for them. Stearn explained that in larger organisation’s the ability to continue to look after clients becomes more remote and more time

The playgrounds of Grouville, St Mary’s and Trinity primary schools have been given a rather impressive makeover, thanks to the fund raising and good old fashioned hard work of a team of committed office staff from RBS International Bank. Jersey Weekly took a look at what prompted these kind volunteers to get ‘out of their element’, and just what they did when they got there.
The ‘Get Your Hands Dirty’ project was recent example of an International business with a presence in the Island ‘giving something back’ to Jersey. It is often easy to forget that large global companies’ Jersey branches are made up of members of our community - and this puts the more conscientious of such companies in a great position to target their charity efforts and resources towards benefitting much needed projects here, in the Island. Investing in the education and happiness of the next generation is undoubtedly one of the most worthwhile causes to support, anywhere. Several of the Island’s school playgrounds were beginning to show their age - and, identified by members of staff - several of whom have children in the schools concerned - as an opportunity to put something towards the future of Jersey, ‘Get Your Hands Dirty’ was born. After a successful staff initiated fund raising mission that enabled £6,600 to purchase materials, three teams - made up of fifty-five members of RBS International staff - did just what the title of the project suggested, and got to work renovating various outside areas of the three primary schools chosen for the project. The first team, led by Audrey Heath, focused their efforts on Grouville School. Several areas of the school playground were extensively and thoughtfully brought up-to-date with plenty of sweat and hard work from the RBS volunteers. The sand and water pit enclosures got a new paint job, not small tasks, with all the preparation and finish work involved to ensure that the areas are durable enough to stand the rambunctious attention of the year one and two pupils. The year one and two

The year six garden area at Grouville school also got the team’s thorough treatment, and the ‘environmental garden’ is now improved. This is a double shot of ‘investment in the future’ for the bankers, who undoubtedly deal with a different kind of investment usually. Teaching children to cultivate fruit and vegetables, along with composting and details of the flora and fauna that surround them is highly important, given the amount of touch-screens and keypads that seem to dominate the lives of children these days. It makes for a great balance, and is indicative of the depth of care shown by the project managers. At the time of writing, Mr Baudins had already commented that the pupils were using and enjoying the new areas, and expressed his gratitude to both the team and RBS International. The second team, led by Sue Gill, took onboard the ideas of the children from the school as to how they thought their playground could be improved. A large mural designed by the children was painted along the playground wall. Planters were added, to allow children to plant and nurture their own flowers and plants, and a brand new sandpit was built from scratch. The Head-teacher, Mrs McKenzie, and her pupils were very impressed and very grateful to the volunteers, adding; “The pupils were just delighted when they saw their new playground area and it has provided great enjoyment for the start of the school year. St Mary’s school is right at the heart of the St Mary community and is also used at the weekend and in the evenings by parishioners of all ages, so the area will get plenty of use.” The third project, led by Paul Gill, concentrated on the outside of the Key Stage One area of Trinity School. Several large and
unused features were rendering the area cluttered and unusable. The old, disused water feature and a pair of large, adult height cracked planters were removed and replaced with lower, more child friendly planters that allow the children to grow their own plants, fruits and vegetables. A stage and seating were also built, and also, another new racetrack! The racetrack is painted on the lower playground, and is a great, fun way for kids to engage in all manner of imaginary outdoor play - more of which is definitely needed these days! The project has been a huge success, the RBS International Corporate Sustainability Board confirmed as much when reflecting on the project. “But what about the people ‘on the ground?”, you may ask. Well, we’ll let a couple of them tell you themselves; “The Get Your Hands Dirty team made the Year 6 garden really colourful when they painted benches and tables a bright blue. They did a marvelous job of tidying up the organic garden, where I love growing things – it looks as good as new. Thank you to RBS International.” - Samuel Duckworth, year six student, Grouville School. “With the one day paid volunteering opportunity offered at RBS International, I was thrilled to get involved with the Trinity School, project giving the children a new and exciting playground. On a personal perspective I got loads out of it working as a team to give something back to the community. We achieved so much and were all really pleased with how the day went.” - Hannah Carolan, volunteer from RBS International, Trinity Project. “My son had just started in the reception class at St Mary’s so I was ecstatic when I found out that the school had been selected for the first Get Your Hands Dirty project. The new and improved outdoor area is already making a real difference to the pupils and it is something that can be shared with other children for years to come. We were delighted to be a part of the project.” - Sue Gill, project leader, St Mary’s School Project.

It may be hard to believe, but it’s almost that time of year again. As the nights draw in and the weather gets colder, decorations start to go up, and almost every shop window becomes a vibrant red and silver hued reminder that... Christmas is coming.
TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE on both the town centre and the people who use it, Jersey introduced late-night shopping to coincide with the start of the annual ‘Fete dé Noué’ Christmas Festival. This year late-night shopping starts earlier - on the 24th of November. Additionally, the first day is set up with the intention of allowing disabled shoppers easy access, and a head start on their gift buying. Late-night shopping has become something of an unofficial celebration. Every Thursday night throughout December - under the festive lights and to the accompaniment of buskers and street performers who contribute to La Fete dé Noué - adults and children mingle and enjoy the very different atmosphere that the town centre takes on. For many people, late-night shopping offers the chance to take a more leisurely look at the products and offers available in the shops. For people with conventional work hours, visits to the shopping centre of St Helier often involve a brisk dash to what they need, followed by an even quicker dash back to work, or before the shops close their doors. On Thursday nights in the festive period, time can be taken to browse the stores, and look for the best deals.
Christmas in Jersey, particularly around the Thursday late-night shopping evenings, has a distinctly different feel than the mainland UK. The impersonal, rushed push-and-shove feeling of a UK shopping centre just isn’t there; tourists have commented as much on discussion forums online. Our festive shopping has perhaps more of a continental feel, and it’s down to more than just the Norman French name of La Fete dé Noué. The special Christmas Markets that saw traders and stalls set up in the Royal Square, and in later years, the new ‘Weighbridge Place’ area encompass locally made arts and crafts and a ‘Norman’ Market (Lé Marchi Nouormand) selling produce and prepared foods, hand made soaps, cider, biscuits and honey. The Central Jersey Market - our Victorian enclosed fruit, vegetable and flower market that opened in 1882 - will stay open too. In addition to the above, the small businesses that trade from the Market include jewellers, card shops, butchers and bookstores. Plenty of gift ideas will undoubtedly come from a simple walk through.

Despite the popularity of online shopping, the festive period can be a daunting time to hit the stores for anyone. Shops are full, competition for this years ‘in thing’ items is fierce and the High Street can often appear like a gridlocked human traffic jam…
It’s not just the shops that open late. St Helier has many fine cafes, bars and restaurants offering, between them, cuisine that could satisfy any appetite or preference. Alfresco dining, in warm clothes, obviously, whilst watching the bustle of fellow shoppers hunting bargains and thoughtful gifts for loved ones, has a special Christmas feel about it. Many of the eating establishments have special winter themed menus and offers to work in tandem with the late-night shopping period, and of course the seasonal stalwarts of mulled wine, mince pies and festively decorated cakes are always available.

ST HELIER TOWN CENTRE has undergone a fair amount of renovation work in the last few years, and each time a pub, shop, restaurant or business redesigns, planning regulation requires that disabled customers be taken in to account, and access be provided. As such, disabled access to shops is improving gradually, but this doesn’t always account for the difficulties experienced by those with impaired mobility - or indeed sight or hearing - when town is bursting at the seams with shoppers. Even for the unimpaired, a walk through Christmas ‘traffic’ on King Street can involve much swerving, stopping and stepping out of the way. Imagine the frustration of attempting such necessary defensive maneuvers when less able than the person you’re trying to avoid collision with.
24TH NOVEMBER 5PM - 9PM
On the 24th of November, the Scouts, Guides and Jersey’s own ‘Town Angels’ - volunteer helpers - will be on hand to assist and support disabled shoppers. They will help shoppers back to their cars with shopping and carry bulky items. The shops will stay open until 9pm, and given the earlier than December late night opening, town should be a little less busy. Shopmobility Jersey is an organisation that provides scooters and manual and powered wheelchairs to permanently or temporarily disabled shoppers in Jersey town centre. Its services are open to visitors and Islanders alike, and on the 24th of November from 4.45pm until 9pm absolutely free of charge.

New Spaces at Jersey Opera House thanks to States funding
Words // Rick Jones • Feature Design // Jon Moore
JERSEY OPERA HOUSE recently raised the curtain on the latest redevelopments that the one-hundredand-eleven year old building has undergone.
A SUPERCENTENARIAN, THE THEATRE may be - with all the character and stories that go with such a grand age - but thanks to allocation of some of the £40m public fund earmarked for battling the economic downturn, it’s looking younger and fresher than ever. New life has been breathed into areas that were sadly derelict and unused. Jersey Weekly went along to have a look at the new cafe, kitchen, rehearsal and office spaces - and even sampled some of the fine fare that the new kitchen offers - whilst having a chat with Theatre Director, Jasmine Hendry. Clearly excited and enthused by the potential of the rejuvenated spaces, Jasmine took tours and explained how the funding had already opened up new possibilities, and will hopefully enable the Opera House to continue to be a popular public entertainment centre into the future.
Jasmine;
Senator Philip Ozouf;
“Once we had established that we had spaces that were underused - and what we could use them for, our Chair, Pierre Horsfall began the drive to acquire fiscal stimulus funding. Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf signed off on the project - he’s been down and taken a look - and I believe everyone involved is very happy that public money could be used in a way that the public can enjoy in their leisure time.” “Last week I was invited to the Opera House to view the completed refurbishment work. The building has been beautifully enhanced and has absolutely confirmed my view that this was an excellent project for the use of fiscal stimulus funding. The work itself created jobs and the result will boost the activities and opportunities for those who use this historic building and will hopefully encourage others through the door to enjoy new cultural experiences.” The work itself, was undertaken in four phases, each coming in on time, on budget and undertaken whilst the building was still ‘live’ - in use for shows and events with minimal disruption. Initial designs being drawn up by Peter Garforth of Morris Architects. Jasmine explained that Mr Garforth understood the vision immediately, and his plans helped allow the transitional period between start and completion to run exceptionally smoothly. The rooms certainly make great use of the available space - and look fantastic into the bargain. Building contractors Camerons carried out the considerable physical work needed, and did so around the temporarily displaced JOH office team. The JOH staff had nothing but good things to say about the builders, who were conscientious - with regards to noise, mess and disruption - and considerate, to both the team and the public for the duration of the work. So without further ado, let’s take a look at the new spaces and services that the Opera House can offer, thanks to the Fiscal Stimulus Grant...

New Spaces at Jersey Opera House
“The Oh Café Bar” Jasmine Hendry;
“THE FORMER ‘CIRCLE BAR’ has been rebranded as the OH! Cafebar - OH for Opera House, and exclamation because it’s fantastic!” “The first thing we did was to enlarge the kitchen. This allows us to really enhance what we can offer to the public - before the refurbishment we were only able to open for limited hours and did light breakfasts and lunches. Now we can offer a full Bistro menu, and we can offer pre-theatre suppers.” “Relaxed atmosphere is what we’ve aimed for, the menu will be quality fish and chips, steak and chips - good food and not too high end - and lovely contemporary surroundings. Gone are the carpets and tired furniture, and the new floor, furnishings and lighting make for a great chill out area. We’re even going to offer the classic ‘hangover cure breakfast’ and it’s open to everyone, not just theatre goers”. The OH! Cafebar certainly looks very modern, clean and comfortable, and the new kitchen team of Chef Peter, assistant Andre and porter Tom - working in their brand new kitchen area - are promising some of the best traditional food in the area. The front of house team; Carlos, Esther and Kasia are looking forward to seeing you!
“First Floor Office” The first floor office is situated in the Seaton Place side of the building, and occupies a space that previously sat empty, unused and derelict. What was once a dead space is now the thriving marketing office, giving the team the space and facilities they need to get the very best acts for the Island’s theatre goers - and making sure we all know ‘what’s on’. For a while though, during renovations, it was everyone’s home; Jasmine Hendry;
“The office space had to be created, as we were all housed in tired and cramped office on the second floor. Once the first floor office was done, we all moved down there so that work could be done on the dilapidated office we’d all used for the last ten years or so.” “We all moved downstairs whilst a building site literally carried on around us. Sometimes we had to switch off the phones for a short time, as we couldn’t hear what we were doing! The new space on the first floor, however, critically allowed us to continue running the shows and ticket sales, almost as normal, whilst the renovation work was going on.” Now, there is a lovely spacious and modern office, where once there was nothing but tired, empty rooms.

New Spaces at Jersey Opera House
“Second Floor Offices and Studios” PERHAPS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT part of the redevelopment to practitioners or even would-be practitioners of the Arts - in all their forms - in Jersey, is the new rehearsal/performance studio situated on the second floor. This space is frankly amazing, very well thought out and fully rigged for sound, lighting and versatile use of the considerable floor space. The area can be completely curtained, or allow natural light in, has a full compliment of mirrors for choreography, and can be arranged as a conference room, dance studio, dress rehearsal stage or production area in it’s own right. As television - through shows like X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, right across to High School Musical - pushes performance into the limelight, many youngsters are taking to the boards. This new space will allow Jersey to keep producing stars! Jasmine Hendry;
“The new studio lends itself to so much. We aim to turn it into a really creative space. It will have a knock on effect on the whole building really, making it a true home for the artistic community, and bringing the place alive.” “Previously, we’ve opened our doors at seven o’clock, and the shows start at eight - but we’re a theatre - we should be busy during the day. Now we have the ability to bring some life into the building, people in and out coming to workshops and similar to me, it’s an important progression”. Also situated on the second floor is a new, modern office space, with private booths for telephone calls - something of a luxury for the staff - so business can be conducted more efficiently.

New Spaces at Jersey Opera House
“Upper Bar” FORMERLY THE RESTAURANT, the new ‘upper bar’ is a highly contemporary and stylish area, offering a paradoxical angle to the historic building that houses it. The area has sat empty for a decade. We predict it won’t stay empty for much longer. With styling that harks to a trendy NYC nightclub, fantastic windows allowing daylight or night sky views on the Seaton Place side and a one-hundred-and-fifty person capacity, the space is ideal for chilling out pre-show, or meeting the cast post performance. Jasmine Hendry;
“We’re very proud of our new upper bar. It’s just a lovely place for people to congregate, and the fact that it’s so modern and inviting will hopefully go some way towards dispelling any misconception that the Jersey Opera House is an old building for old people. It’s certainly not… it’s a public building for the public - all elements of the public - and we are very proud to be custodians of it. Never more proud than now, with it’s wonderful new space and facilities, thanks to the Treasury.”
THE FISCAL STIMULUS FUND is intended to bring about some relief from the economic downturn and all the negative connotations that come with such times. In granting the Jersey Opera House almost £1m of the fund, the Treasury have very cannily secured some hope for the future. Hope for would-be entertainers, theater-goers, including those who may have never considered themselves as such before. Hope for those who have long worried that the Institution that is the JOH may be lost as the March of time takes us further towards virtual entertainment, the ability to download almost anything we feel like watching and the banality of throwaway reality TV. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for actually ‘being there’ at a performance. Thanks to the Fiscal Stimulus Fund, the Jersey Opera House will ‘be there’ itself, hopefully for a long time to come. Jersey Opera House: 01534 511115

Weekly Bulletin The Mortgage Shop follows the market on a daily basis and is always able to advise on the best rates and deals that are available from all lenders offering mortgages in Jersey. Bank of England Base Rate remains at 0.50% and with all signs that the British economy will continue to be flat for the forseeable future, this rate is unlikely to increase for a number of months to come. 2012 Budget Change For First-time Buyers - In an endeavour to help boost the property market, Philip Ozouf, the Treasury and Resources Minister has extended the ceiling for relief on stamp duty for first-time buyers from £400,000 to £450,000. On its own this news might not have much impact on most people, until it is realised that the majority of purchases for first-time buyer families are in this very narrow band of value, with the average price for a three bedroom house currently standing at £431,000. Private funding is always available with rates from 7%, interest only. This type of mortgage is ideal for mature borrowers looking for short term finance or for anybody who is currently unable to obtain a mortgage from their bank.

Issue 107, Friday, 18th November 2011
Monthly Review Whilst the economy of Europe falls apart, life goes on in Jersey and people are still buying and selling property, admittedly at a slower pace than before, but at sufficient volumes to confirm that there is still confidence in the Island.
An active first-time buyer market is essential to a buoyant market overall and whilst one cannot expect a return to the halcyon days of pre June 2008, anything that the States can do to help the beleaguered first-time buyer should be applauded.
It is naïve to assume that everything going on in the world around us will pass us by without having any impact, although it would appear that the impact is being felt by most people in Jersey to a far less extent than in the UK or Europe.
A point worth considering for first-time buyers is that the monthly mortgage costs, whilst greater than the average rent paid by a family for a house in the private rental sector, are still worth considering if it means that they can get their foot on the property ladder.
The very sad demise of the fulfilment industry is going to leave its mark and retailers have yet to experience another winter of poor sales whilst still paying rents set at pre-recession levels. The 2012 Budget debate in the States on 9th November gave a strong message of support to the Island’s population, with a blend of sensible expenditure on projects that will benefit the community as a whole as well as improvements in tax thresholds for low income groups, much needed tax relief on childcare costs, no increase on fuel, but increases on tobacco and alcohol. In an endeavour to help boost the property market, Philip Ozouf, the Treasury and Resources Minister, also extended the ceiling for relief on stamp duty for first-time buyers from £400,000 to £450,000. On its own this news might not have much impact on most people, until it is realised that the majority of purchases for first-time buyer families are in this very narrow band of value, with the average price for a three bedroom house currently standing at £431,000.
Interest rates remain stable, although the continuing instability in Europe seriously threatens the ability of British banks to maintain low fixed rates for much longer, so it is best to factor in an increase across the board of 0.50% for most of the rates shown on our chart this month. Tracker rates, which are linked to Bank of England base rate will not be affected although they too will rise at some time in the future. Local residents with capital stashed away in a very low interest bearing bank account or investment can expect to receive a minimum return of 7% by offering these funds as short-term mortgage finance The typical borrower who will use this type of funding can be found as a self-employed individual who does not have the three years trading figures that are necessary to obtain a mortgage from a bank, or retired people who, due to their age are no longer eligible. Many other types of borrowers have used this type of funding in recent years and it now forms part of The Mortgage Shop’s portfolio of products that are available to anybody seeking a mortgage.

Le Creux du Rocher - St Brelade Words // Rick Jones Feature Design // Jon Moore
Occupying a stunning, elevated position with views of the beach and nature reserve of Ouaisne, St Brelade, this recently renovated four-bedroom property exudes quality and promises privacy and comfort, and more than a little style.
From the commanding position of the southward facing terraced area of Le Creux du Rocher, the breathtaking view takes in the whole of St Brelade’s Bay. Both headlands at the mouth of the bay are visible - the clear blue waters of the large natural cove contrasting beautifully with the yellow sands of the beach and dunes - and the greenery that makes this area seem so unspoiled.
clean white integral units. The breakfast bar is striking, using diagonally mounted stainless steel posts to hold an attractive thick glass surface, keeping it back from the integrated hob unit in a remarkable use of space.
It’s truly breathtaking, and, in Summer, when the evenings are long and the beach below is busy with water-skiers and beach goers, the location would rival any ‘holiday’ home anywhere in the world.
Space is far from lacking, as the storage in the kitchen is thoughtfully concentrated around the integrated double oven, the aforementioned free standing hob and breakfast bar and the marble topped sink counter. Finished in white - and occasionally subtle use of a light green that compliments the glass tops used - the kitchen is modern, clean and low maintenance.
Sitting in at the modern exterior patio suite, it’s hard to imagine that you are a mere ten minutes from the shops at Red Houses, and twenty minutes away from the town centre of St Helier.
A wide square aperture leads, open plan style, to an amazing dining area, complete with wine cooler, oak dining table and matching chairs and more of that amazing sea view.
The house itself is a masterpiece of flowing design, with high quality materials used entirely befitting the incredible location. All the main living spaces - the bedrooms and reception areas - have views across the ocean, and benefit from the due south orientation in getting plenty of natural light.
The comfortable lounge features an in built entertainment unit, and features contemporary lighting housed in a modern surround conduit that gives a futuristic edge to the design.
Balconies areas supplement the terrace for taking in the sea air at any time of day or night. To the rear of the property a rear cotil garden could be landscaped, set out as an adventure play area for children or utilised by keen gardeners. The elevated, south facing geographical position of the house would be suitable for growing many exotic flowers and plants that wouldn’t generally thrive in the UK, or even more northerly parts of Jersey. Parking for four cars and a double garage, combined with the aforementioned terrace, make this property ideal for summer evening entertaining. Moving to the inside of the house, the high quality of the build is matched by the interior fixtures and fittings. The bespoke designed kitchen and breakfast area features a hardwood floor with attractive natural wood-stain that contrasts nicely with the

The floor is the same stunning hardwood as used throughout, again making for ease of cleaning and low maintenance. The view from the patio window takes in the entire bay, from the mouth, to the Martello tower on Ouaisne’s sand-dune nature reserve area. The connecting corridor between bedrooms bears mentioning, as it a wonderful design. Hallways do not often make conversation points, but this one features a highly attractive flared staircase with integral blue LED lights for safety at night without having to use the overhead lights and risk disturbing anyone in the bedrooms who may have their door ajar. An attractive modern ceiling fixture carries the overhead lighting, and, with the staircase, very artistically adds some subtle flow to the square design of the hallway, by way of it’s spiral light arrangement. Small details like this abound in the property, showing that much consideration went into the design and subsequent build. The floor here is attractive amber hued stone tiling, and compliments the wood used in the living areas.
PROPERTY
Each of the four bedrooms has it’s own ensuite bathroom with predictably high-quality white sanitary ware and a dark grey tiled floor. Stand alone glass shower cubicles with power showers and stainless heated towel rails and the easily cleaned modern surfaces leave you in no doubt that this is a home designed with impeccable taste. As subjective as the eye of the beholder may be, Le Creux du Rocher is flawless. As an entertaining home it would impress anyone, without question. As a private home, it combines a low maintenance design with plenty of space and of course, that view. It also remains, by nature of it’s elevated position, private.
All four spacious bedrooms feature the wooden flooring and built in wardrobes. Balconies allow the views and sea air - the things that help make this property so perfect - accessible for night time star gazing or morning fresh air.

Issue 107, Friday, 18th November 2011
The BMW M5 is a fantastic car and that’s all you really need to know. Obviously there’s more to it than that, so here’s how we’ve come to that conclusion... The M5 is the most powerful production car BMW have ever made. 552 horses all working together to get you to work on time - assisted for the first time in any M5 - by a pair of turbos. Enthusiasts may not like the sound of the above but can be rest assured that BMW has gone to great lengths to make this twin turbo 4.4-litre the best it can be. “The best it can be” really turned out to be quite something. The M5 develops 501lb ft of torque all the way from 15005750rpm, which means that within milliseconds of you putting your foot down it really doesn’t matter what gear you’re in, you will know about it.
This fifth generation M5 is well balanced and receptive. Putting the brakes to the test only shows how evenly the chassis performs at both ends. You can take corners head on with confidence without sending your back end sideways. As far as the steering goes, you always know where you are with it and the car’s weight becomes more of a reassurance. Huge 265-width front tyres cope easily with 1870kg of car. The usual 5-Series is a big, heavy machine and this M5 is no different. This is a car that’s aimed primarily at businessmen who like driving, rather than drivers who do business. Last generation’s M5 was a beastly V10, full of rage and nothing like other 5-Series before or since. This latest model has more in common with the only other V8 M5, 1998’s E39 - it’s a softer, more obliging car and easier to live with every day opening the M5 up to a greater dynamic of people.
Setting off for the first time you’ll be happy enough with the mid-range rumblings but once the needle passes 4500rpm, the M5 becomes nothing short of mindblowing. It will start feeling like you’re driving your very own supercar - so much so that all manner of lights will begin to flash and the whole car will feel ready to take off!
It’s a beast of a car, most notably in it’s width. Blue brake calipers are a new feature and it has the unique M5 wing mirrors, quad exhausts and extensive grille, Inside is full of M badges with all the extra buttons but it’s well built and very good looking inside.
Disabling the traction control next feels only natural and while you’re at it, you can experiment with the buttons around the gearstick, there are three settings each for the throttle, steering, suspension and gearbox - comfort, sport and extra-sport, but the midway of each - with maybe the sport throttle - is about right for road driving.
The noise of the V8 is full of meaty bass, with a sharp turbo whistle icing. It’s good but doesn’t have the delicious rumblings of a Merc E63, for example. It can be an economical drive (25mpg is achievable, but so is 10mpg). It’s rumoured that BMW’s ‘M division’ might be working on a manual gearbox option, but this would be for the US market.
This all depends on where you’re driving though. Set it to comfort mode across the board and it’s like driving a 530d, a peaceful cruise, gliding along with remarkable ridability and barely noticeable shifting. However that’s not what the M5 was built for. Up the ante with the switches and you’ll arrive at something that can scare you half to death.
That tidily sums up the entire car. BMW’s engineers have obviously felt the expectant pressure on them - a new M car doesn’t come along every day - and so it’s been honed and polished to a high standard. The result is hypnotically fast and well moderated.

Appointments & Achievements Compiled by Tiffany Shales, news@jerseyweekly.com
Grand Jersey promotes operations director to general manager

My goals are to maintain the excellent service that Grand Jersey provides to both regular and new guests to Grand Jersey”.

Local student wins; IoD Jersey’s Annual Debate Essay Prize
RECRUITMENT
Q&A With winner Lucy Fox
Words // Lucy Sanderson • Feature Design // Jon Moore
Following the recent Institute of Directors Annual Debate, on the topic of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), we caught up with the bright young student who won the IoD’s essay competition. The competition formed part of the build up to the IoD Jersey’s Annual Debate, which took place in September and looked at whether (PPPs) could form a positive way forward for Jersey. Conscious that Jersey will face the need to fund major public capital projects in the future that will affect the next generation, the Jersey IoD sought to involve sixth form students and invited them to write a paper on PPPs and whether they could work in Jersey. Winner of the competition, Lucy Fox submitted an intelligible and interesting essay which won her a cheque in the sum if £250… This is what she had to say >>>>>>>>>>>
Explain how you came to enter into the competition and how you researched the topic of PPPs in Jersey Schools... I was encouraged by my business teacher to enter the competition as he thought it would be a good experience and also help with the subject, which encourages wider reading. To help myself prepare for the essay I asked my teacher his opinion on that area. I also researched PPPs on the internet for other examples of PPPs in schools and tried to relate it to Jersey. Do you feel that more situations pertaining to local industries ought to encourage participation from local schools, as with the IoD and this competition? Yes because it is a great experience for students to get involved. It also provides an opportunity for schools to make contacts with the local community; this might come in handy when students are leaving school, and raises awareness of current issues in our community. Is finance a sector you are keen to work in after leaving school/university? I am hoping to study psychology at University next year and then get a job either as a Psychology teacher or a speech therapist once I leave. However, I may also consider working in the human resources area of the finance sector. What did you find to be most interesting about PPPs and their impact on the local education system?
Jason Laity, Chairman of the IoD in Jersey, commented, “The issue of PPPs is hugely complex. The general feeling at the Debate was that they should be considered for some projects but subject to important conditions and procedures. Lucy’s paper was very well thought through and took an incredibly mature approach to looking at these issues within the education sector, an area that is of interest to all of us in Jersey. She put forward a balanced and impressively argued case and I congratulate her on her success.” We congratulate Lucy on her success and wish her well in her studies – it looks like she will go far in whatever career she opts to pursue.

The area I found most interesting on PPPs’ impact on the education system was that competing for finance and implementing quality assurance measures could have an adverse effect not just positive effects - as it first appears. This is due to the possible encouragement of rigidity and too much focus on competition. Therefore, PPPs would impact on students and teachers,not just the school structure, and this interests me as I am currently in the education system. PPPs are highly topical due to the spending cuts on education, so they are a real possibility for the future that could be considered. Lucy, how do you feel about winning and do you have an idea what you might treat yourself on with your winnings? I am ecstatic to have won the prize as I did not believe I would win. I have no definite idea what I might spend my winnings on but I am looking around for something I would like!

Plans are already underway for the annual Jersey Green Room Club Pantomime. This year’s show has been specially written for the club and is that family favourite “Sleeping Beauty”. The pantomime re-unites the production team who brought you “Dick Whittington” in 2007. BBC Radio Jersey’s Breakfast Show presenter Roger Bara returns as Musical Director alongside the “Roger Bara Band” and Annette Perkins - fresh from the success of “King and I” is the choreographer. Between them they’ve worked on more Green Room Club Pantomimes than either cares to remember. This year’s writer and director is BBC Jersey Assistant Editor Matthew Price. Besides directing “Dick Whittington” he’s appeared in six pantos for the club here in Jersey and many more in the UK. This is also the third time he’s penned a show, having previously written and produced versions of “Cinderella” and “Dick Whittington” in England. The show opens on Boxing Day - Monday 26th December and closes on Sunday 8th January 2012!

WORDS
Rick Jones FEATURE DESIGN Jason Bourgeois
Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’ is undoubtedly one of the best known pieces of ‘Baroque’ era music, and not without reason. A masterpiece of the art of creating imagery within music, the four violin concertos take listeners on a journey, and is a definitive example of ‘evocative musical techniques’. Now Jersey charity ‘Music in Action’ brings a unique opportunity for Islanders to experience not only ‘The Four Seasons’, but period concertos from Bach, Handel and Pachelbel. The event has a little more to it than this, though, as we shall see… An Author, who’s identity is sadly unknown, once wrote that; “Music is what feelings sound like”. It’s a great quote, obvious when considered, but something that may slip past your consideration until put that way. It may have become blatantly apparent though, if you ever took the time to sit and experience - not just listen to - Antonio Vivaldi’s best known work, The Four Seasons violin concertos. The set of four concertos, each corresponding to a season of it’s own, has a genius, almost magical ability to immerse the listener in the season being ‘described’. This is done without words - the high pitched plucked pizzicato notes from the violins evoking icy winter rain, for example - and demonstrates the true virtuosity of the composer. Parts of the score even mimic spring bird calls and a summer thunderstorm. If you have never had the experience described above, fear not! The Jersey charity ‘Music in Action’ have you covered. They have secured the highly accomplished ‘European Festival Baroque Orchestra’, a full orchestra that includes harpsichordist James Southall. James is no stranger to Jersey, having moved here when he was twelve years old, although he no longer lives on the Island. At the time of writing, James is actually half way through conducting a run of Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the Welsh National Orchestra.
Subscribe to the weekly email newsletter for more offers online…
The orchestra’s leader is one Anna Smith, currently first violin in the BBC Symphony Orchestra, several members of which are also travelling to Jersey to take part in the event. With a mind to recreating the Baroque period and the magic that must have been in the air in the 1720s when Vivaldi revealed his masterpiece to the world, a few special touches have been added to the concert: The orchestra will perform not only by candlelight, but in period costume. The name ‘Baroque’ comes from ‘rocaille’ - highly ornamented shell art, and was adopted to describe the highly decorated fashions of the era. Members of the public are invited to look at period outfits, and choose their favourite. This will be modelled to the lucky winner, as they enjoy a private recital in the style of private performances for wealthy noblemen of the period. The Four Seasons will be the finale, following recitals of pieces penned by Bach - himself highly influenced by his early exposure to Vivaldi - Handel’s ‘Arrival of the Queen of Sheba’ and Corelli’s ‘Christmas Concerto’. In all it promises to be a unique and fun way to experience the power and dynamics of a highly skilled orchestra performing the finest music composed in the Baroque period. Tickets are available from the Box Office, telephone; 01534 449827, and cost £20 per person. For further information please see www.gov.je/events

“Les Trans”, is a unique French music festival held at the beginning of December each year in Rennes, Brittany. Running for over 30 years (nearly as long as Glastonbury), the festival aims to break down cultural barriers and bridge artistic genres with a gathering of musicians hosted in the welcoming and eclectic settings. You can buy tickets for the full 3-day festival or just the individual events you want to attend, plus there are many free performances and venues running throughout the weekend. Words // Marcus Quinn Feature Design // Jon Moore
MUSIC, THEATRE & ARTS
BY DAY AND THROUGH THE EVENING Rennes town-centre venues host a variety of musicians and performances in its many wonderful bars and clubs; with big acts playing more than once at small and large venues over the weekend so you have more chances to enjoy a truly unique atmosphere at each stop. Then, in true European fashion, the party continues until dawn - shuttle busses take you from the town centre to the Parc Expo Airport, where the party continues from 11pm in 3 massive jumbo-jet sized aircraft hangers (dance, indie and the main arena) where the young, and young-at-heart, can party until 6am. You won’t find vodka and Redbull monsters there either; the French are all-the-more sophisticated - normally drinking Champagne, or try ordering (or Googling) a Calimocho for a pleasant surprise. At Transmusicales you will hear everything from dance, hip-hop, acoustic, indie, pop, reggae, rock, punk and electro all side-by-side - the only real theme is anything goes. Taking at look at the line up before going you might think you don’t know many acts but that is usually the case every year, you wouldn’t have known Bjork, Nirvana, Ben Harper, Kasabian, Goldy Looking Chain, Calvin Harris, The Ting Tings. M.I.A. or many, many others that played their first gig in France at Transmusicales (see what you’ve missed over the years here: wikipedia.org/wiki/Rencontres_Trans_ Musicales). This is because the festival prides itself on finding the next big acts and bringing great up-and-coming stars to you first. Ones to watch this year we think will be then UK’s own ‘Ghost Poet’, Canadian chanteuse ‘Maylee Todd’ and previous visitors to Jersey – the jovially titled ‘Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’. It seems strange to mainlanders - that would think nothing of spending a couple hours on a train or in the car to visit London, Manchester, Edinburgh or Dublin for a weekend - that it is not as common as it should be for Jersey folk to make the trip from Elizabeth Harbour to the centre of Rennes. With an hour sailing to France and half an hour on the train or in the car, Renne is accessible and affordable to get to (when comparing UK petrol prices and train fares). So adventure, shopping, food and a little continental culture is just an internet booking and a passport away this December. Rennes is a vibrant city similar in size to Brighton, Plymouth, central Belfast or Newcastle, and its our closest from St Malo. As an affluent university town there is a young and active population breathing life into a magnificent mixture of historic and modern buildings. The shopping is more than enough to keep you discovering new things for an entire week and you’ll never tire of taking 2 hour lunches or passing away an evening at a restaurant practicing your best to converse in French. Perhaps we should all go over, to say Salut to our French neighbours, spread the good word about Jersey too, and invite everyone back to Jersey and share our cultural learning’s more. You can find more information at their website www.lestrans.fr or by downloading the free iPhone app (handy for find your way around to). There’s no English translation but you truly don’t need one, all you need is a passport and some Euros, just leave the rest to be one big pleasant surprise that you’ll be telling people about long after you return. We’ll see you there!...

The outrageous and astonishing Puppetry of the Penis features two puppeteers, who bend, twist and manipulate their genitals into various objects and landmarks. The original show has broken all box office records worldwide. This brand new show has been enhanced using the very latest 3D technology that will bring to life the duo’s theatrical contortions as you’ve never seen them before.
The theatrical contortion of the male genitalia into various positions along with comedic narration has since spread internationally. It is humorously called ‘Dick Trick’ or ‘Genital Origami,’ referring to the flexibility of the human penis, testicles and scrotum. After this global success the Puppetry of the Penis original duo have recruited Rich Binning and Andrew Fitch (Fitchy) to perform the latest 3D version of their show in a UK tour which is heading to Jersey for three nights from 24th November. Puppetry of the Penis was created by Australian Simon Morley and David ‘Friendy’ Friend. The original concept was the brainchild of Simon and was originally the title of a highbrow calendar he had made. The calendar exposed twelve of Simon’s favourite penis variations now known as ‘Dick Tricks’. After working for many years as a comedy promoter working some of Australia’s funniest people, Simon finally felt he had something just as funny lingering in his pants! Friendy had been performing his own collection of Dick Tricks, which kept him busy for most of the year with a business in entertaining Stag and Hen night’s and private parties. Friendy had begun his Dick Trick career as a young boy, in the bath, and developed his skills further when he discovered beer in college. After completing his degree in Computing, he returned to Melbourne with his own highly individual collection of hanging art! It was on New Year’s Eve in 1997, with a garage full of calendars to sell and burgeoning requests for live demonstrations that prompted Simon to team up with Friendy and unleash their talents on the world. Together, Simon and Friendy’s solo ‘acts’ became Puppetry of the Penis, and a global phenomenon was born.

As of today most of the Western World has played host to Puppetry of the Penis including Australia, UK, USA, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Iceland, Norway, Spain, France, Denmark, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa and Switzerland. And now Jersey audiences are to be wowed by this unusual genital origami! Puppetry of the Penis is the first live comedy to incorporate 3D technology. The audience will be given 3D glasses whilst a video camera projects intimate details of this phenomenon onto a large screen ensuring that little can be missed. The audience will gain a whole new perspective on the pair’s legendary genital gesticulations such as the Eiffel Tower, The Windsurfer and even edible delights like their signature dish, The Hamburger – the larger than life images are so real you could almost reach out and cop a feel! Simon Morley comments “We’ve always wanted to see how far we could stretch Puppetry of the Penis: We’ve toured the globe and now, just when you thought it’d couldn’t get any more intimate, we’ve decided to tackle a whole new dimension.” He further comments “Cave men practicing the ancient art of genital origami could never have imagined that one day 3D technology would enhance their private experimentation for such shockingly good public entertainment, which is exactly why we’ve done it.”

A Night of Jazz with Sarah Ellen Hughes. Sarah Ellen Hughes has established herself as a notable presence on the London Jazz scene and next week sees the award-winning vocalist return to Jersey to play an exclusive dinner set at The Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel.
Sarah is set to return to Jersey to wow island audiences with her vocal talent in an exclusive dinner set. It will feature songs from her new album ‘The Story So Far’ which includes a mixture of standards that have been arranged in interesting ways and a couple of original tunes.
“I'm very much looking forward to performing in Jersey. I've performed here twice before, and have enjoyed each very much. It's always a pleasure to visit the island!” Sarah began singing at a young age, but the basis of her musical skill came from learning the flute and piano through her teenage years. It was joining a jazz orchestra on flute that really turned her head to the style of music that would become her passion. As well as running her own quartet, Sarah has also created The Sarah Ellen Hughes Big Band which features an all-star line-up. Sarah has appeared at many of the UK’s top jazz venues including an eight month residency at Ronnie Scott’s Pizza on the park, 606 Club, Scarborough Jazz Club and the Marlborough Jazz Festival. In 2010, she was invited to participate in the London Jazz Festival ‘Vocal Summit’ it was here that jazz programmer Paul Pace selected her as one of three singers “Whom I consider to be the best on the scene in terms of vocal art, individuality, and the ability to move and entertain the audience.” Hughes has gained international recognition by winning the 2010 International Jazz Singing Competition ‘Jazz Voices.’ Commenting on the upcoming event Lydia Smith, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel said;
“We’re thrilled to once again be hosting Sarah Ellen Hughes and her band, their modern style and passionate performance was incredibly well received last year and it’s great to be able to bring this sort of talent to Jersey for our local audiences to enjoy.” Jersey Weekly had the opportunity to find out more about Sarah Ellen Hughes and her musical talent...
JW: How did you get into music and ultimately Jazz? SEH: I was raised in a musical family, playing the flute and piano from a young age. I also sang in a choir, but had never heard jazz until I was about 17, when a friend from school introduced me to Stevie Wonder, Jools Holland and National Youth Jazz Orchestra, which was quite an eclectic mix to start with! It was about then that I realised I could sing in a jazzy style, and so seek out other jazz records to listen to develop my style. JW: What vocalists influenced you growing up? SEH: The only contemporary singer that my parents ever played in the house was Karen Carpenter, who I really loved as a child. I guess the first jazz singers I listened to were Cleo Laine, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. Now I listen a lot to Nancy Wilson, Shirley Horn and Kurt Elling. JW: Who is your favourite musician? SEH: I am influenced by such a wide range of musicians and singers, that it's hard to say who my favourite is but if I had to pick one I would say Stevie Wonder - for amazing song-writing and thrilling vocals. JW: What makes someone a Jazz singer? SEH: There are so many different styles of jazz, and so many people that call themselves jazz singers, that it's hard to pinpoint what makes someone a jazz singer, but for me one of the most important things about being a jazz singer is the ability to use lyrics - vocalists are the only instrument that have this song feature available to them. I find the lyrics very powerful, and that's the main focus of a song for me. JW: Would you say your music is solely Jazz or do you cross over into other genres? SEH: A typical set from my band contains about three quarters jazz standards, and the rest pop covers and my own originals. I always try to find new ways of arranging even the standard songs that people already know, so I use a mixture of styles to deliver these songs including funk and soul. JW: Do you think Jazz has changed much in the last 20 years? SEH: I think that vocal jazz is much the same - although people are now starting to get more into vocalise, which is the artform that Lambert, Hendricks and Ross started in the 60s. It's become very popular in the last few years for singers to incorporate this sort of singing into their repertoire. Including me! JW: Apart from music what are your other interests? SEH: I am a keen cyclist and also a part-time primary school teacher.

No Man’s Land is an exhibition of a collection of images that have been sourced from Google Street View. The photos portray women in Europe soliciting sex and highlights the illegal world of the sex trade through real life images.
For four years, Google maps has captured the World’s highways and byways and in the process a lot more besides including people leaving strip shows, picking their noses, urinating and much more. In this collection of photographs Mishka Henner has sifter through over 2,500 Google map images. He has then cropped them, tweaked the colour and zoomed in to a variety of shots to reveal what appears to be women soliciting sex in luminal, post industrial and rural setting. Belgium-born Manchester based photographer Mishka Henner is behind this collection of images. No Man’s Land was shot entirely using Google Street View the locations were sourced by spending time on online forums where men share information on where to find sex workers. The images portray the outskirts of Spanish and Italian cities including Rome, Milan and Madrid. “We now live in a society filled with surveillance cameras; one in which we are watched and expected not to return the authoritarian gaze. It’s a notion of the world that can only blind us and I refuse to accept it” comments Henner.
Mishka Henner says; “No Man’s Land explores the margins of our urban and rural European environment as experienced by what appear to be women soliciting sex in liminal, post-industrial and rural settings, captured by Google Street View cameras. Occupying liminal spaces in post-industrial and rural settings, the focus on these women also casts a critical eye on the Street View project itself and on photography’s indelible link to voyeurism and surveillance. The Street View project heralds a new age of street-level cartography that offers a vast, regularly updated archive waiting to be mined by documentarians seeking to make sense of our contemporary condition. The Google Street View car is usually shooting on clear days to obtain the best images and all the faces of the subjects are blurred out to protect their identity.” In the photos we see a landscape backdrop with women standing on the side of road supposedly waiting for their clientele. The advantage of the camera’s height gives the viewer a towering perspective over the rural and urban landscapes. Many of Mishka’s projects are an attempt to devise a kind of Public Intelligence service through photography. He comments “With the search engines, public data sets, mapping tools and online communities now at our fingertips, all sorts of patterns, issues, and social realities can be revealed and clearly articulated in a visual manner by connecting the dots.” Though we are swamped by tired visual clichés on all manner of subjects, Mishka believes that certain images have the power to force us to reflect on ourselves and the society we inhabit. He will be discussing this in detail with an illustrated talk on Monday 28th November at 7pm. No Man’s Land previews at the Jersey Arts Centre from Monday 28th November to Saturday 10th December 2011. Admission is free but viewers are advised to book tickets in advance.

(Sanskrit for ‘Truth Force’)
Satyagraha, composed by Phillip Glass, is an opera in three acts for orchestra, chorus and soloists. The opera is based on the life of Gandhi and is the second part of a trilogy of operas about men who have changed the world. Satyagraha is being screened worldwide as part of The Met: Live in HD series, which is now seen in 1,600 movie theaters in 54 countries. It is the first revival of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch’s innovative 2008 production. The opera is a moving account of Mahatma Gandhi’s formative experiences in South Africa, which transformed him into a great leader. The opera’s narrative is non-linear and is in three acts. Each act references majorly related cultural figures including Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore and American civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The first two acts have three scenes and the last is one continuous scene. It focuses on the civil disobedience with which Gandhi would inspire non-violent protest in India and around the globe. “Almost all the techniques of protest that are now the common currency of contemporary political life were invented and perfected by the young Gandhi during his South Africa years,” Glass has said. Glass’s 20th century masterpiece can be described as minimalist and the title refers to Gandhi’s concept of non-violent resistance to injustice. Satyagraha is sung in Sanskrit and although there are no subtitles, some phrases, words and ideas are visualized instead, leading to a unique experience of the opera form. As Satyagraha unfolds, the audience is swept into an opera that places moral values at the forefront and plot details on the fringes. The work contains arias, duets and choruses. Moods, sounds and ideas are paramount in evoking Gandhi’s early years as a visionary of peace. The cast of the opera includes 2 sopranos, 2 mezzo-sopranos, 2 tenors, a baritone and 2 basses and a large chorus. The orchestra is strings and woodwinds only there is no brass or percussion. The cast are, Richard Croft who portrays Gandhi, a role he first sang to critical acclaim in the 2008 Met premiere of the work. The cast also includes Rachelle Durkin as Miss Schlesen, Kim Josephson as Mr. Kallenbach, and Alfred Walker as Parsi Rustomji. Contemporary music specialist Dante Anzolini conducts and rising bassbaritone star Eric Owens hosts the transmission As the creative team and Glass observed Gandhi was one of the first people to harness the power of the media. Therefore the newspaper seen in this production ranges from broadsheets to projected text and even giant puppets. The opera takes place in a single day, spanning dawn until nightfall. Although the story is based on real-life events, it unfolds as in a dream, with the composer’s self-described “music with repetitive structures” moving the action forward, sometimes gently and sometimes urgently. Satyagraha is being screened on Wednesday 23rd November at 6pm at the Jersey Opera House. Tickets cost £17.50 and are available from the Jersey Opera House. To book call 511115 or visit www.jerseyoperahouse.co.uk to book online.

The Pier Restaurant at Havre des Pas offers the chance to experience the thrill of some authentic Vegas games, be entertained by the spectacular cabaret show, and enjoy a sumptuous three-course dinner and drinks.

On a previous stint in Jersey, he was noticed by the Variety Club of Great Britain, for his professional approach and vocal talent, and this led to further events that cemented his name in the showbusiness consciousness. He has performed Las Vegas style shows, complete with showgirls and ‘Rat Pack’ style numbers since at least 2000, and has worked in the ‘Black and Red Casino’. Whilst in this role, he auditioned, choreographed, designed costumes for and performed with an entire cast of 56. The show became a ‘must see’, and placed Adam in great demand.

A seven piece “International band based in Jersey” who play “an eclectic mix of tunes to get people dancing”, ZED have been impressing audiences and compelling people to get on the dance-floors of local venues since they formed in early 2010. As there seems to be an ever increasing schedule of gigs filling Jersey Weekly’s ‘What’s on!’ section with the name ZED, we thought we’d better have a look, a listen and tell our readers just why they should check them out! Consisting of a lineup of varying nationalities (including Jersey, Romania, Bulgaria and the UK, no less!), musical tastes, ages and instrumental , ZED are right to describe themselves as ‘eclectic’.
On Keyboards, Steven, a former session musician who is as happy on a grand piano as he is on a his keyboards. Completely self-taught he plays anything from Chopin to Rock’n’Roll.
Fronted by the siren like pairing of prestigiously talented blonde and brunette female vocalists - Summer and Ramona respectively - the band is made up of highly skilled and experienced live performers.
The band fuse these influences and outlooks into a funky pop/rock sound with a healthy dose of soul and Motown influences with even a little latin rhythm showing itself from time to time. The combination obviously works, as on top of full dance-floors and happy listeners, the band are being constantly booked; they draw a great crowd who bring a great atmosphere to the venues where they deliver their sound and show in consummate style, each and every time.
Summer comes from a musical family - her Dad is a regular on the Jersey live-music circuit - and has a keenly developed sense of harmony, born of chamber choir performing in her childhood. These days she’s all about the soul, and has plenty of power to go with it. Ramona was born in Transylvania into a family of folk singers. Growing up influenced by pop/ soul divas like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey and with a natural connection with latin music by way of her Romanian family heritage, she even got to the semi-finals of ‘Megastars’ the Romanian version of X-Factor! On Bass Guitar, ‘AJ’. AJ has played in ‘too many bands to mention’ and spends his time when not gigging - with Zed or his other bands - in his studio, writing and recording music. He describes Zed as “Beautifully Inspired Music”, and is the driving force behind the band’s gigging schedule. On Saxophone/Keyboards, Caroline. Before ZED, as a member of a London Chorus, she has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican and has recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
RJ731
On Lead Guitar, Miro, hailing from Bulgaria and extensively schooled in music theory. Miro has played in two of the most popular rock bands in Bulgaria and has toured in Scandinavia, Cyprus and Croatia. On Percussion, Kevin, studied music at Chichester College and is in demand across the South East of England as a versatile and skilled drummer. Whilst in Jersey, he plays with several bands, ZED included.

Tagliatelle Alla Carbonara Ready within 1 hour, Serves 4 people
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil • 300g prosciutto slices, cut into strips 1cm wide • 100g unsalted butter • 150ml/5fl oz white wine • 6 free-range egg yolks
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

• 50g/2oz parmesan, freshly grated, plus extra for serving • 50g/2oz aged pecorino, freshly grated • salt and freshly ground black pepper • 350g/12oz egg tagliatelle
Heat the olive oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Add two-thirds of the prosciutto and fry for one minute. Add 50g/2oz of the butter to the pan and allow to melt, then add the wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, just to combine with the butter and the prosciutto juices. Place the egg yolks, parmesan and pecorino into a bowl and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the tagliatelle according to the packet instructions, or until al-dente, then drain, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water. Immediately add the pasta to the prosciutto mixture, then stir in the egg mixture - the heat of the pasta will cook the egg. Add the reserved cooking water if the sauce seems too thick, then stir in the remaining prosciutto and reserved butter. To serve, spoon into warmed bowls and sprinkle with a little extra parmesan.

Eating Out
by Mark Bradbury, news@jerseyweekly.com
St Mary’s Country Inn La Rue des Buttes, St. Mary • 01534 482897
ST MARY’S COUNTRY INN is a fine example of a traditional country pub, which are becoming more and more scarce throughout the island, with only a handful still running successfully and retaining their true character. This large granite public house owned by The Liberation Group and run by a very pleasant South African named Steve. Our visit was on Sunday and it was a family affair. For November the day was particularly pleasant with the sun shinning. Children played outside in the front garden, which offers a nice area in the warmer months where you can be sat relaxing with an ice-cold beer or chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc, but due to the time of year the adults populated the lounge-bar area whilst we waited for the remainder of the party.
To start my partner and I shared the Warm Salad of Sauteed Woodland Mushrooms, which was served with smoked bacon lardons, sauteed baby potatoes, a poached egg and a crisp fresh salad with balsamic reduction. This food was not your usual pub grub, but had far more finesse - both the presentation and balance of flavours were more like something that you’d expect in a fine dinning establishment. It was clear that the majority would be eating the roast as a main from the specials board and the difficult decision was whether to go for the Beef or the Pork. Having eaten here many times before I knew that both would be good… mmm… the beef with Yorkshire puddings, or the pork with crackling.
Once all our party arrived we moved through from the more traditional lounge to the slightly more contemporary restaurant area.
I opted for the Beef as it is my favourite and it was delicious, but part of me wished I had chosen the Pork as the crackling did look amazing, and in my opinion you don’t always get - in fact it’s quite hard to find - good crackling these days. Both roast dinners options were served with some very tasty roasties - crispy on the outside and lovely and fluffy in the middle – and a good selection of vegetables. The last but by no means least component of both roast dinners was a slightly odd looking but absolutely stunning cauliflower, cheese and bacon pureed sauce. Then to top it all off their was an abundance of gravy, of which we were offered more if desired.
At our table we were welcomed by our waiter before a drinks order was taken for some very reasonably priced wine, a few varieties of beer and a diet coke for the designated driver.
All-in-all the food was good and the portions were hearty, and overall this is a great place to come and eat with friends and family – I will certainly be going again.
There is a separate bar area which houses a pool table and darts board along with many regulars, who seemed very welcoming. With it being November and everyone raising awareness through Movember, you can spot the locals, not only their moustaches, but by their sponsored rugby tops - which serve a dual purpose due to the colours being those of the Jersey Rugby Club.
The menu was vast, especially as you had the already large standard menu, a tennerfest menu, and a specials board.

Thanks perhaps to the evolution of the ‘celebrity chef ’ in the media - numerous charismatic culinary artists have become household names - many people’s views of cooking have changed in recent years. Whereas fine food preparation may have previously been the domain of the highly trained chef, recent TV shows, books and events have seen many celeb-chefs encourage the public to ‘have a go for themselves’ and experience the joys of preparing gastronomic delights from scratch. We are entering the age of the ‘Foodie’; where preparing - or indeed going out to enjoy an expertly prepared meal - is finding itself alongside traditional social pastimes such as attending shows or the cinema. One Jersey based family business has embraced this culinary revolution, and is providing Islanders with the means to follow the trend, and do so in style.
ONE OF THE MOST REPEATED lines in the foodie-show revolution is; “It all starts with the right ingredients”. Whilst starting with the ingredients may seem blatantly obvious, the key word is right. It should go without saying that if you base a dish on fresh, properly grown and harvested produce, free range meat or eggs, and not ‘factory farmed’ or chemically preserved ingredients, you are setting off on the right foot. Trinity based company Fungi Delecti understand this, and have taken on the role of being the Island’s first stop for getting the right ingredients, whether locally produced or specially imported. With fifteen years experience, and a slew of testimonials from highly regarded chefs, the company’s bespoke service assures satisfaction to even the pickiest of foodies. They can supply commercial quantities of hard to locate ingredients, and have developed a worldwide network for procuring authentic, exotic items that may be integral to even the rarest ethnic dishes. Exotic delicacies need not all be imported though, Fungi Delecti - appropriately, given their moniker - grow native East Asian Shiitake Mushrooms (lentinua edodes) on their Trinity farm. Shiitake Mushrooms take the first part of their name from the Japanese name (Shii) for a native evergreen tree, dead logs from which are the only place the fragrant fungi naturally grow. This hasn’t prevented Fungi Delecti from successfully growing and harvesting fine examples of the mushroom, which are historically considered medicinal in China, and actually contain a source of lentinan - a clinically approved Cancer treatment used in several countries worldwide. Modern research has shown Shiitake to have antibacterial, antiviral and immune system stimulating properties. How the ancient Chinese knew this will remain a mystery, but the Chinese name ‘xiānggū’ translates as ‘flower mushroom’, and both dried and fresh specimens are important to many Chinese dishes. The famous vegetarian dish ‘Buddha’s Delight’ owes at least some of it’s flavour to sauteed Shiitake. Japanese ‘miso soup’ and other steamed and simmered dishes make heavy use of the aromatic fleshy aromatic cap of the mushroom.

FOOD & DRINK
When it comes to local produce, Fungi Delecti are somewhat ahead of the game, being farm based themselves. At their Trinity premises they grow a large variety of herbs, ensuring the very freshest seasonal flavour is available to kitchens and larders in the Island. Courgettes, baby salad leaves and rhubarb are all grown on site, and Fungi Delecti also has it’s own brood of very contented free range hens. The organic by-products of the growing done at Fungi Delecti provides food for the chickens. This, as well as the country location, with all it’s available foraging opportunities for the happy fowl, ensure that eggs from Fungi are as fresh and tasty as you’ll get anywhere. They really are good. Fungi has also built great relationships with other local producers. It supports and encourages the very highest standards of produce growing, and the company displays it’s obvious passion for locally sourced produce regularly on it’s website www.fungidelecti.com A recent blog post on their website mentioned the Asparagus crop, stating that Jersey grown asparagus “must surely rival the world’s best in colour and flavour”. For those who like it spicy, local grown ‘scotch bonnet’ peppers are regarded as highly as native Jamaican varieties - but handle them with care - they aren’t for the faint hearted. All of the above, plus numerous fruits, herbs, nuts and seeds, caviar and roe, grains, chocolate, pasta, olives, cheeses, meats and stocks and of course mushrooms and truffles are kept in their very best and freshest conditions in Fungi’s custom built specialist warehouse. Located in the same area as the farm, the building uses the very best technology available to ensure that local kitchens, larders, restaurants and chefs - or even wouldbe chefs - are provided with nothing best the best, in the very best condition. Resected local Chef, Author and purveyor of his own unique ‘fusion cuisine’ Mr. Danny Moisan, of Danny’s restaurant, St Aubin recently stated publicly that he owes much of his success to such a knowledgable, reliable and conscientious supplier. Similar praise has come from Mark Jordan, highly respected Head Chef at Atlantic Hotel and Ocean Restaurant. This kind of accolade doesn’t come lightly from such meticulous professionals.

JW Could you tell us a little about Mercury Deliver and it’s services? MD “MercuryDeliver.com is an online shopping business that delivers everyday house-hold goods to your door. Mercury offer the promise that if you order before 1pm on a particular day, then you will receive your goods the same evening.” “The company also delivers to office customers during working hours.” JW How did you first become involved with Wholesaler ‘Fungi Delecti’? MD “We were looking for a partner to work with who could supply all of our fresh fruit and vegetable requirements - to extend our offer to customers - so we approached Fungi earlier this year and finally uploaded the first lot of images and offers in July.” JW Do you find that shoppers are making a conscious decision to buy organic and local grown produce? MD “We don’t offer organic. We took the decision to highlight all local produce that is ‘Genuine Jersey’. Difficult to gauge through the website how this is received, but we are keen supporters, and I believe that our discerning customer base like to see the local following!” JW How about exotic ingredients and international cuisine, are these becoming more popular, thanks to the quality of Fungi Delecti’s stock and service? MD “We have only uploaded the Fungi ‘deli range’ in the last month - there has been some uptake across the board on it and we hope that this is an area that will grow. Like everything else, it will take time, but it is an area that we are pushing.” JW Do you think the emergence in the media of the ‘celebrity chef’ has prompted more people to buy ingredients and cook for themselves? MD “Yes. This is further supported by the success of local chefs such as Shaun Rankin and Mark Jordan who has recently been joined on the Michelin star list by Richard Allen.” “I think that there is a growing audience of foodies and we are making available to them a wider range of items each week.” JW Do you currently have any special deals or offers that our readers might wish to know about? MD “We have different offers every week across our whole range of products, so not just food.” JW What is your favourite dish, prepared with ingredients Mercury Deliver and Fungi Delecti can supply? MD “Impossible to answer, but I am a food snob and love good eating, I always use in-season fresh fruit and vegetables. The selection on our site is massive, so to answer this would be a full menu!” “Working with Fungi has been the single biggest and best addition to our website this year, and we look forward to doing much more with them and building business together - they really do an excellent job for us. Presentation is great and the produce is always top notch.”

Jersey Squash & Racketball Club Turn ‘Pink’ For Cancer Research UK
have also agreed to match our fundraising efforts by doubling what we raised on the day. I am therefore, delighted that we will be handing over a cheque to Cancer Research UK – Jersey Committee in the sum of £3,512. We were overwhelmed with the raffle prizes received from all over the island. Mo and I would like to thank all the companies that generously provided raffle prizes for our event.”
Jersey RFC Vs Cambridge
A stunning second-half display by Jersey brought the Islanders 33 unanswered points and sealed an emphatic victory over the team who lay third in the National One table before kick-off. The second-half display was all the more remarkable in that Jersey played with 14 men after the dismissal late in the first period for Nathan Hannay for an alleged head-butt in an incident that also saw Cambridge No 8 Darren Fox given a yellow-card for retaliation.
Whilst most people were relaxing and putting their feet up on Sunday 16th October, the Jersey Squash & Racketball Club opened its doors for a ‘Think Pink Marathon’ in order to raise much needed funds for Cancer Research UK – Jersey Committee. The pink themed day included adults and children dressing in pink and participating in sponsored Marathon racketball sessions. Raffle prizes were donated by companies from all over the island, including pink champagne which was given to the ladies after they had completed their leg on the court. Over 50 adults and children took part in the charity day. The unique day included continuous squash rallies with different people joining the rally and the squash ball never actually stopping. The children’s session lasted between 9:00am and 1:00pm, the adults took over at 1:00pm until 4:00pm and the court was free to anyone between 4.00pm and 7.00pm. Mo Farley, joint Event Organiser said “We put on a similar event in 2010 which was a great success, so we decided to do the same again this year. The pink theme certainly went down better this year and outfits ranged from pink morph suits to pink fairies! The club was awash with pink and we were delighted that even some of the men turned up in pink to show their support”.
Guy Thompson gave the visitors an early lead, supplemented by a Mike Le Bourgeois penalty, but Anders Mogensen’s try, converted by Tom Wheatcroft, made it 7-8. The kickers swapped penalties and in the 23rd minute Dave McCormack shrugged off three tackles to score. A drop-goal by Le Bourgeois and another Wheatcroft penalty completed the scoring to make it 21-13 to Jersey at the break. For the second week running Guy Thompson scored two tries within the first 10 minutes of the restart, completing a stunning hat-trick and pushing Jersey out of sight. After a lull there was a further burst of three tries in the last 16 minutes. Ed Dawson was first over, then Myles Landick celebrated his second try for Jersey - the first in the Championship semi-final against Taunton 18 months ago - and finally Le Bourgeois crossed to complete a personal haul of 24 points. After the game Landick praised the outstanding defensive effort which had underpinned the victory, while Head Coach Ben Harvey described it as the best performance by Jersey away from home in the three years he had been involved. Jersey move above Cambridge and take fifth spot in the table, with 38 points, as a result of the win. Ealing still lead on 53 points, followed by Fylde (42), Rosslyn Park and Coventry (both 39). Beneath Jersey, Cambridge are sixth (36 points) followed by Blackheath and Macclesfield (35 each), Sedgley Park (33) and this weekend’s opponents Tynedale (10th position, 32 points, after losing out narrowly at home to Ealing by 29-24.
Sarah Taylor, who organized the event in conjunction with Mo Farley said “We are really thankful to Bedell who have kindly sponsored The Jersey Squash & Racketball Club and they

NORWICH v ARSENAL Saturday 12:45
WEST BROM v BOLTON Saturday 15:00
ARSENAL visit Carrow Road for the first time since August 2004, when they beat the Canaries 4-1 – the first of two big wins for the Gunners that year, in fact, as they repeated the scoreline at Highbury on the way to their unbeaten Premiership title. They’ll be the first of the big four to visit Norwich this season, and a loss for the home side would see Paul Lambert’s record of never losing two successive league games in a row in the same season broken for the second time. Their home form is good, though – they’ve only lost twice at Carrow Road since January.
OWEN Coyle’s side travel to The Hawthorns looking to continue the forward momentum gained after their 5-0 thrashing of Stoke, when they managed to exact revenge for last season’s FA Cup semi-final mauling. Since that match the Trotters managed just three wins in 16 Premier League outings, but having settled their score at Stoke they’ll be banking on another win to clear themselves of trouble. Their record is good, too – they’ve not lost at West Brom since October 2004.
EVERTON v WOLVES Saturday 15:00 EVERTON may be missing the attacking flair of Mikel Arteta, but the Toffees still have the quality to mend a poor run of form which has left them hovering above the relegation zone. A home tie to Wolves could be a good chance to return to winning ways, since the Molineux outfit traditionally struggle to win at Goodison Park, and Mick McCarthy’s side are also struggling for consistency. Until they beat Wigan last week, in fact, they’d gone went eight matches without a league win. MAN CITY v NEWCASTLE Saturday 15:00 CITY’s superb form has seen unprecedented crowds at the Etihad this season, and tickets for this weekend’s tie against the Magpies sold out more than three weeks ago. Newcastle are enjoying a good start to the season themselves, and both remain unbeaten – an impressive feat, considering we’re almost into Christmas. Once upon a time this might have been a midtable clash, but City could well be on course to win this year’s Premier League – and Newcastle might not be far behind. STOKE v QPR Saturday 15:00
WIGAN v BLACKBURN Saturday 15:00 MORE important than the clash of the league’s frontrunners is this weekend’s tie between the Premier League’s bottom two teams, who have picked up just 11 points between them this season. Under-fire bosses Roberto Martinez and Steve Kean desperately need to bump up their points tally if they’ve any hope of saving their jobs, and their teams’ survival prospects. It’ll be a tense match for the fans, too, although theoretically it should be Blackburn’s for the taking: they’ve won 11 of the teams’ 16 meetings. SWANSEA v MAN UTD Saturday 17:30 SWANSEA City manager Brendan Rodgers says he’s relishing the visit of Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium this weekend, and it’s the kind of tie Welsh football fans have waited years to see. United have recovered well from their derby day drubbing against Manchester City, and they haven’t lost a match since that fixture in all competitions, yet Rodgers will no doubt be hoping that the atmosphere created by the fans could help to get the Swans a positive result. CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL Sunday 16:00
EUROPA League side Stoke City are Rangers’ fourth European side in succession as they travel to the Britannia in search of a lucrative three points. Stoke is a notoriously tough place to go, yet QPR have a largely positive record against the Potters: they have 15 wins to Stoke’s eight, last beating them 3-0 in a 2008 Championship match at Loftus Road. Stoke are coming off the back of a 5-0 thrashing by Bolton, but they’ve only been beaten once at home this season.
THIS weekend’s Super Sunday match-up could well be a thriller, with both teams eager to prove their worth in a Premier League title race so far overshadowed by a couple of Manchester clubs. It’s a battle Liverpool can’t really afford to lose, yet Juan Mata’s arrival at Chelsea has helped the Blues deliver a promise of expansive, attacking football, and with Torres back on the right path, Liverpool will need to be dogged in their defence if they’re to have any chance of foiling the home side.
SUNDERLAND v FULHAM Saturday 15:00
TOTTENHAM v ASTON VILLA Monday 20:00
SUNDERLAND need to step it up a gear if they’re to evade a relegation battle, and Steve Bruce will be looking for a convincing performance against a Fulham side lying just a place below them in the table. Tomorrow’s match is the first of four games for the Black Cats against sides lying in the bottom half of the Premier League table, and they’ll be hoping to put a sequence of results together. Fulham, meanwhile, were unlucky not to get a recent point at Spurs, and they’re desperate to get back to mid-table.
TOTTENHAM are level on points with fourth-place Chelsea, and despite the absence of manager Harry Redknapp the North Londoners are settling comfortably into the current season. Redknapp – in hospital following heart surgery – will have been boosted by a well won 3-1 at Fulham last week, Tottenham’s seventh win in eight league games, and he’ll trust his number two Joe Jordan to oversee another clinical result to a mid-table Villa, who are yet to win away this season.

SPORT NETBALL Words // Marcus Quinn • Feature Design // Jon Moore
RUGBY AND FOOTBALL may yet be the Island’s most popular spectator sports, but it’s Jersey’s netballers who are winning legions of new followers – on and off the rock. This season, in fact, Jersey’s top sportswomen are storming the UK’s South West Regional Netball League II in only their first year back in mainland competition following a three-year hiatus. So far, Island representative side Team Jets are unbeaten in seven matches, sitting top of the leaderboard on maximum points and, as it stands, a good bet for automatic promotion to the South West Regional Netball League I next year. It’s an impressive feat when you consider that a little over three years ago Jersey – then playing as the representative side J United, under the helm of Ally Meredith – was forced to drop out of UK competition altogether, amid huge financial demands and a struggle to secure sufficient sponsorship. At the time, it was considered by many that Jersey’s dream of continuing in the South West Premier Netball League – the third tier of English netball, bettered only by the National Premier Leagues and the Superleague – had been shattered for good, as the financial pressures of competing had proven too great without a major sponsor coming forward. There were concerns, too, about a required re-structure of the English league system, which would follow a move towards the club-based netball, rather than region-based, which is now enforced in the UK. As a result, from the following season only club sides would be able to contest the league, which meant that Jersey would have only been able to compete if J United was to be registered as a club to which all netballers in the Island would sign up to as their first choice, as opposed to an Island select side. Those who signed up to J United as a club side would then have to stake a second claim in their local league side. Ultimately, however, it was decided by the Jersey Netball Association that financial concerns, as well as the required league restructure, would make it too difficult for J United to continue to compete in the season 2008/09.
112
Jersey has always been a great force in UK netball and, historically, the Island punches well above its weight on the regional and national netball stage, so to face withdrawal from the league system was a devastating blow. The Island’s fate was made all the more difficult to swallow following the team’s superb performance in the UK league system: having remained unbeaten to gain promotion to the South West Premier in 2007, J United had continued to impress in their final season, becoming the first side in history to retain their place at that level. Yet despite being one of the most popular sports for women in Jersey, boasting one of the best inter-insular records of all sports – Jersey beats Guernsey in nearly every age group match each year and has also produced a senior England netballer in Serena Guthrie – sponsors were not forthcoming, and the Jersey Netball Association’s only viable decision was to pull the plug on UK competition. That was, until last year, when a decision was made to get a team from Jersey back into the UK league system. As a result, Jersey now has Island side Team Jets, which is a newlyformed club team open to all local netballers. The move has been made possible by a new financial deal with Dominion, who have become the Jersey Netball Association’s primary sponsor, and who have agreed to fund travel for Team Jets senior side, as well as the Academy under 16 and under 14 teams. It’s a deal which allowed Team Jets to travel to the University of West England in Bristol in May this year to try to win a place in the South West Regional Netball League II – the fourth tier of UK netball competition – through a two-day tournament playoff. They not only won the competition, but soared through the qualification stages as they triumphed unbeaten, and put Jersey firmly back on the netball map. Team Jets, coached by Island netball stalwart Linda Andrews, have now since joined nine other teams in the league to play a total of 18 matches this season – including a number of home fixtures, played at Les Ormes, Jersey’s new home of netball. Andrews has a squad of 15 players named for the 18 matches they will play this season and ten will travel each time they are away. It’s an exciting time for the sport, particularly as Jersey have already put their stamp on this year’s competition. Their impressive form means they are yet to lose a league match and they are well on their way to achieving a top two place for promotion. The ultimate ambition is that, after a few seasons, Team Jets will be pushing for a place in the National League – in which case netball might not be trailing spectator numbers for rugby and football for much longer.

Time alone is well starred, use this time wisely when dealing with legal dealings and a contract that appears daunting will lead to good foundation in the future. Be sure to have everything checked thoroughly by a legal body and all will be well in the end.
Clearing out old relationships with friends who you thought were on your side will make space for loved ones to become closer. Family bonds are made stronger as people are moving in the right direction. A solution to a money worry will be found by Wednesday.
A trip to the country helps you gain a clear mind when thinking about house moves. A friend from afar contacts you with good news about a family member. A much clearer mind is on the horizon by Sunday regarding the right course of action to take at work.

Clear investment. Pure energy.
GAS BILL. Oh dear. OIL BILL. Oh, very dear.
Electricity prices frozen for a third winter. 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?
