Family Nursing & Home Care (FNHC), the leading provider of community nursing and care services in Jersey, has organised a debate to discuss the issues shaping Jersey’s ability to deliver high standards of care to elderly islanders in the future.

The debate event, which takes place at the Town Hall on Wednesday 12th November, will see islanders question a panel of experts on just how a changing population will affect Jersey’s ability to fund and deliver care services in the future, exploring ideas which could be adopted to address this critical issue. The debate will follow three main themes; affordability, delivery and quality of care.

‘The challenges thrown up by an ageing population are not unique to Jersey, it’s an issue affecting countries around the world, with many societies unsure of how they will fund the retirements and care of their elderly residents. It’s also a subject that’s not talked about enough – one that needs realistic dialogue that results in a measured strategy for the

future. That’s where the ‘Who Cares?’ debate comes in,’ said Julie Gafoor, chief executive, Family Nursing & Home Care.

Hamish Marett-Crosby will compere the debate. Mr Marett-Crosby is a former journalist and volunteer at Macmillan, who, by his own admission, has a vested interest in the topic and believes it’s critical that islanders start talking about this before it becomes too late.

‘The population debate and in particular the impact of an ageing population is a hard-hitting subject that will have an impact on all islanders at some stage during our lives and one which may already be impacting our lives or those of our loved ones. We must start looking at ways in which we can manage this situation sooner rather than later.’

The aim of the debate is to get islanders, politicians and decision makers thinking about how we, as a society, will be able to fund the high standards of care that our elderly islanders need when faced with all of the issues surrounding a changing and growing population

– immigration and an ageing population being the two main concerns.

FNHC wants to listen to public opinion and those of the event’s experts so that they’re better placed to make recommendations to decision makers and politicians. FNHC wants the event to provide islanders with a platform from which to help shape Jersey’s health and home care policy of the future.

The panelists will include assistant director of policy at the King’s Fund (an independent UK health policy think tank), Richard Humphries; policy and strategy director at Social Security, Sue Duhamel; former States of Guernsey minister, Peter Roffey and director of system redesign and delivery at the States of Jersey Health and Social Services, Rachel Williams.

Islanders are invited to attend this free of charge event. Doors open at 6:30pm for a 6:45pm start. Refreshments will be served. To make the debate more interactive and inclusive, a designated @FNHC_WhoCares Twitter feed has been set up.

New British Toad Species Found In Jersey Jersey toad collaboration between conservationists from Jersey and the UK and scientists in the Netherlands and Portugal, has revealed that Jersey’s iconic toads are a distinct new species, different from toads found in England.

Jersey is the only Channel Island to have toads. As a new species, unique in Jersey within the British Isles, they will need tailored conservation to ensure their future survival.

Most toad breeding populations in Jersey appear to be in small, privately-owned garden sites which often support only small (and possibly in necting different breeding sites so the long-term non-viable) breeding toad populations continue to thrive. populations of single numbers of Jersey’s toad populations are monispawning females. tored through Jersey Toadwatch, The Department of the Environment a project jointly run by the Departhas been working to protect the Is- ment of the Environment and Durland’s toads for a number of years. rell.

Now we know they are a new species, we can ensure efforts for their conservation are directed to their specific needs.”

20 New Jobs To Be Created At New Cooperative Locale

12th Nov: Master & Commander: Far Side of the World, Dir. Peter Weir, 2003 The dramatic film starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, which combines elements from 13 different novels of Patrick O'Brian, takes place in the spring of 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey of HMS Surprise is ordered to pursue the French privateer Acheron, and "Sink, Burn, or take her a Prize." Their journey via Cape Horn and the Galapagos Islands also recalls that of Charles Darwin and Captain Robert Fitzroy on HMS Beagle 1831-36.

19th Nov: Sense & Sensibility, Dir. Ang Lee, 1995 Based on Jane Austen’s novel of 1811, starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, the story follows the Dashwood sisters. Though they are members of a wealthy English family of landed gentry, circumstances result in their sudden destitution, forcing them to seek financial security through marriage.

Actors Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman play their respective suitors.

26th Nov: The Young Victoria, Dir. JeanMarc Vallée, 2009 It was Sarah, Duchess of York, who conceived the idea for this film, which was written by Julian Fellowes of Downton Abbey fame. Starring Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend and Paul Bettany, the story is based on the early life and reign of Queen Victoria and her marriage to Prince Albert of SaxeCoburg and Gotha. Filming took place at various architectural landmarks in England with great emphasis on historical accuracy.

The ticket charge of £10.00 is inclusive of a glass of sparkling wine on arrival. To book and pay in advance please contact the National Trust office on 483193.

Please bring a cushion but leave your high heels at home!

The Channel Islands Co-operative Society Limited (the Society) is creating 20 new jobs at a new Co-op Locale, which is set to open in Colomberie, St Helier, in autumn 2015.

The new 3,000 sq ft store will be located on the ground floor of 22 Colomberie, on the corner of La Colomberie and Grenville Street.

There will be an additional retail unit developed adjacent to the Co-op Locale and the three upper floors of the building, which have been acquired by a developer, will be turned into 19 social housing flats.

Colin Macleod, Chief Executive Officer of the Society, said: ‘We are delighted to announce

that we will be transforming the ground floor of this tired office building into a modern and convenient shopping experience for our members who live, commute through or work in the south east of St Helier. Colomberie Locale will be an exciting addition to our store portfolio and will take its place alongside the new Grouville Locale in Jersey, the new En Route at the GT Cars site in Guernsey, the extended store at Maufant and the planned redevelopment of Charing Cross.

These developments will deliver more choice and convenience for our members and will assist with the creation of new jobs in both islands. A wide variety of roles will be available and, as we build our store teams, we will be

supporting our colleagues who are looking for new opportunities to develop and continue their careers within the Society.

‘We believe that Colomberie is an ideal location for a new Locale store because, although we have a strong presence in the town centre and the north of St Helier, the Society does not currently offer our members a convenient store in this busy area.

‘Ensuring we have good store coverage, particularly in our towns, is important because customers are shopping more locally,

more often and are choosing their preferred store based on a combination of factors, including location, product quality, product range and price.’

As part of the renovation of 22 Colomberie, the exterior of the building will also be rendered, insulated and modernised to transform the existing office block into a sustainable and environmentally friendly residential building.

The development of the new flats and the regeneration of the building will also bring additional employment for local tradesmen.

If any items are unsold the owner can either take them back or if they prefer the items are donated to charity A long running planning issue is resolved as for recycling.

Reg's Skips gets permission for its site.

Jersey’s longest established auction site, Glencoe, which is operated by Simon Drieu & Co Ltd, has gone green by moving its systems to the cloud, cutting its paper usage by up to 40%.

ness and this move to the cloud will ensure that our business remains viable and continues to operate for many years to come,’ said Simon Drieu, managing director of Simon Drieu & Co Ltd.

‘We’ve spent the last three months moving our systems to the cloud to enable us to cut back on the amount of paper we use. We are, as you would imagine, a very traditional busi-

The move to the cloud follows the company’s sustainable approach to reusing and recycling second hand goods. There are no minimum values in place for people wishing to

The auction site at Glencoe, which has been in operation since 1956, has changed little over the years, with auctioneers bringing down their hammer after each lot has been opened to the floor and all pre bids have been taken into account.

Planning approval has been granted for a skip emptying and sorting business. McQuaigs Quarry had submitted a retrospective application for permission to run a sorting business at Les Charrieres de Bonne Nuit, St John on behalf of Reg’s Skips Ltd.

‘Simon Drieu & Co Ltd is a relatively small and very traditional business which you wouldn’t expect to have adopted the most innovative and modern technologies. This move only goes to prove that cloud storage can enhance the services offered by companies of all sizes and sectors. I was taken to the auction as a boy by my father and am delighted that these changes will ensure that Glencoe is sustainable for generations to come,’ said Adrien Merhet of AM Consultancy Ltd, the business which carried out the upgrades at Simon Drieu & Co Ltd.

The business has occupied the site without permission for a number of years after being asked to leave another site proposed for it.

Two conditions are attached to the approval; the business must be run as set out in the applicant’s environmental impact statement, covering issues such as noise, dust and hours of operation. Secondly, the access drive to the site must be resurfaced, in order to reduce the noise from vehicles entering and leaving the premises.

Regulations To End Display Of Tobacco Products 9

New regulations on the advertising, promotion and display of tobacco mean that from 30 October 2014 retailers in Jersey will no longer be permitted to have tobacco products on permanent, open display to the public.

Customers will still be able to buy cigarettes and tobacco in the usual way but will see the following changes: •shops, bars and clubs will no longer have cigarettes and other tobacco products on display •customers may be asked their age before being served, because staff will no longer be allowed to show cigarettes or tobacco to customers under 18 years of age (as well as not being able to sell them to anyone under 18 years) •tobacco price lists displayed behind the counter will also look different, because they will have to be in a plain format without branding •retailers may provide a list of tobacco products and prices on request to customers aged over

18 in order to help them make a choice. This list may include pictures or logos, but must not be on permanent display.

Jersey Airport’s duty free shop will also be included under the new regulations and there will be a separate area for selling tobacco, for people aged 18 and over.

Tobacco products can be uncovered in this area, but no tobacco product should be able to be seen from outside the area. Duty free sales on planes and boats will remain the same, as long as tobacco products cannot be seen when in the Jersey Harbours and Airport.

their strong branding can trigger purchases by adults trying to stop smoking, but the main reason for these changes is to protect children from this form of tobacco promotion. Children and young people are known to be particularly influenced by tobacco imagery, branding and tobacco gantries, increasing the perceived availability and “There is good evidence that normalisation of tobacco prodgantry displays in shops with ucts.

Head of Health Improvement, Martin Knight said: “These regulations are the latest component of the States of Jersey Tobacco Control Strategy, working towards the aim of reducing smoking amongst adults and the uptake of smoking among young people.

“These changes, alongside a range of other actions within the Tobacco Control Strategy will help reduce the harm tobacco causes to the health of Islanders.”

Regulatory officers from the Environmental Health Team, part of the Public Health Directorate, will support retailers in complying with the regulations. Information and guidance has been provided to retailers during the 18 month

lead-in period prior to the new regulations coming into place.

Head of Environmental Health, Stewart Petrie said “We wanted to make the introduction and compliance with these regulations as simple as possible, so Public Health has been making sure awareness of, and guidance on these regulations has been made available from an early stage to support retailers.”

As the French Ambassador of stylish club sounds, Dimitri from Paris is everything his nation could be proud of: a DJ, producer, and remixer of the highest standard, and a stylish snake-hipped pin-up with French reserve. In a nutshell, there are two distinct sides to Dimitri: a undeniable elegant and, a devoted dance music fanatic... ..In February 2005 the French government awarded him the very official rank of Knight of the Arts and Letters. Along with Air and Cassius he was the first artist from the Electronica field to be given such a distinction... ..His musical influences are deeply rooted in 70s Funk and Disco sounds that spawned todays House music but also original soundtracks from 50's and 60's cult movies. With such a large mix, Dimitri remains of one of club lands most empathic and most unpredictable DJs. Playing across genres and tempos his first goal is to share his love for music while moving your mind, body and soul... ..Dimitri's DJing career started in the late 80's on the Parisian pirate radio scene. Moving to an official and nationwide radio he became the very first DJ to pioneer house music all over France. His mix show was first of its kind and ran over 10 years til 1998 making him a cult figure with dance music connoisseurs.

It wasn't until 1997 however, that he became world famous with the release of his first album "Sacrebleu" on Bob Sinclar's Yellow Productions label. “Sacrebleu” sold several hundred thousand copies and was named one of the Ten Top Albums Of The Year by UKs influential Mixmag. ..In the late 90's Dimitri followed the album's success with several compilations including the

cult "Deluxe House of Funk" and the infamous "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" (Virgin) lately charted again in Mixmag's top 100 of best compilations ever.

A second artist album, "Cruising Attitude" was released in 2004 to be closely followed by his first outing on UK's premier dance music label Defected: "Dimitri from Paris In the House".

2005 saw Dimitri go back to his Funk and Disco roots, with fellow super collector Joey Negro for "Kings of Disco" (BBE). In 2006 he offered his "In the House of Love" outing to Valentine Day's lovers. Later on he produced Los Amigos Invisibles "Super Pop Venezuela" album.

The "Cocktail Disco" project, with long time partner BBE, was released in 2007 shortly followed by the frenchman's "Return to the Playboy Mansion" (Defected) in 2008. In 2009, Dimitri returned to his early DJ days with "NightDubbin'" (BBE) a fresh collection of 80's dubbed out dance classics with help from old mates The Idjut Boys.

Over the course of his 30 years career our man from Paris has sold more than a million copies of his eclectic outings, without any marketing budgets, and mostly on indie labels.

Firethorn Productions have been promoting exclusive Hotel Clubbing events for a number of years and have been proud to welcome internationally acclaimed Djs and artists to our shores. Please join us as we welcome our next Iconic Guest, the French Ambassador of stylish club music, the man behind the “Playboy Mansion”, “Defected in House of Disco” CD Series and all-round sophisticated gentleman.

How To Keep The Heat In For Less!

"My gran had an old rug she used to pin up over the back of the front door."

Householders are regularly being advised to install double glazing, thorough insulation and overhaul their inefficient heating system. But apart from those often expensive tactics, what can be done cheaply and quickly to keep your house warm?

1. Use tin foil. One way to prevent unnecessary heat loss from radiators, particularly on those attached to external walls, is to use heat reflective aluminium foil behind the radiator.

This prevents heat disappearing through the wall by reflecting it back into the room, says Sophie Neuburg, energy campaigner for charity Friends of the Earth. Foil specially designed for the purpose can be bought for under ÂŁ10.

"You can even use good quality kitchen foil," says Carl Brennand, assistant manager of website Moneymagpie, although it's generally not as effective.

2. Thick curtains are one of the main ways to protect your house from losing heat through the windows. Curtains with a thermal lining are a relatively cheap option. If you don't want to splash out on new curtains you can line them yourself with materials like cheap fleece, says Carl. "You can even use PVC shower curtains," he suggests. And it's not just windows that can have curtains. Placing a curtain in front of doors to the outside adds another layer of protection. And it doesn't even need to be a

Autumn driving It’s trickier than you think.

Autumn is not just about crisp air, cosy jumpers and beautifully coloured leaves, it is in fact the most dangerous time of year to be on the roads, especially for new drivers, who have never experienced the extreme conditions they will encounter.

Everyone knows about the dangers of snow and ice, and the care you need to take. But few people give any thought to the autumn, when low sun, dark evenings, heavy rain, strong winds, dead leaves and poor visibility can all add up to a potential nightmare for inexperienced motorists.

HAZARDS Low sun This time of year is particularly bad for being dazzled by low sun, so it makes sense to ensure that your windscreen is spotless, inside and out. If you don’t clean it regularly, a film builds up on the inside surface which can turn opaque in strong sun. Scratches, chips and scuffs on the outside will exaggerate the dazzle effect. It is recommended to keep your sunglasses in the car and handy to put on.

Fog Lights should be kept on in the morning an hour after sunrise and in the evenings turned on an hour before sunset. Fog lamps should only be used when visibility is severely reduced, if you can see the car behind you, they can see you, turn off rear fog lamps to avoid dazzling them. Beware of speeding up to soon when fog clears as in patchy fog you can quickly find yourself back in heavy fog only moments later.

Puddles With a combination of heavy rain and leaves blocking drains, large sections of road surface are often covered by water, some of it surprisingly deep. It’s easy to lose

control of your car if you drive into deep water too quickly. Puddles often disguise deep potholes, so they should be avoided too, where possible.

The fallen leaves make any spare bulbs at all times. wet roads even more slippery than usual which makes braking more hazardous.

Tyres The legal tread depth is 1.6mm, however, BE PREPARED a minimum tread depth of 3mm is recommended for autumn/winter driving.

Check your windscreen wiper blades, new blades last for two years on average and clear windscreens far more effectively, use a soft dry cloth to keep wiper blades clean.

All in all, new drivers who have only been driving a short while need to be far more aware of road conditions and their surroundings in the autumn than they can possibly imagine.

It’s common sense for most people, but skill levels vary and a complete novice might feel far more comfortable with a couple of hours extra lessons under their belt. Go out in the dark, in the rain, in the wind. It’s surprising how much more competent drivers can become with even a small amount of seasonspecific training.

Recruitment Talent Acquisition: A Measured Approach or a Word Like Love?

22

Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, if this is true then talent acquisition, in many cases, fits that bill. Talent (and acquisition / strategy / advisory) are all terms that get thrown around a little too much; it is an over-used, misunderstood term…. A lot like Love!

getting the right people through the door, Deloitte’s report published in 2014 state it is about keeping them and most impor- they are currently updating or revamping tantly utilising them to their full potential. their talent sourcing strategy.

In a report published by Deloitte University Press it states ‘’companies looking to recruit talent and acquire new talent must now compete on a new battlefield – a battlefield shaped by new global talent networks and social media and defined by I ‘love’ this, I ‘love’ that, I ‘love’ you. Eve- employment brands and changing views rybody is in love these days and the word of careers’’. Whilst many companies have a just doesn’t have the same depth of mean- talent acquisition strategy many processes ing it once did, taking us back to the good used by in-house and external recruitold days; Love was Marriage and comers have not changed.

Deloitte identifies that companies that fail to adapt Almost every company uses the term [to a modern approach] will be on the losTalent Acquisition Strategy; they all have ing end [of the talent war]. it in one way or another. What exactly is talent acquisition? What does it mean?

A good talent strategy Global statistics show the UK lags behind cannot be implemented overnight, it takes other countries in the race to change their an age to see through, it is not just about talent strategies, 60% of respondents to

In a recent move an Island company (not the first one) invited employees to reapply for their jobs. Perhaps unsurprisingly this left many outraged ‘How dare they?’ was the common response. If you look at the flip-side, when communicated properly this can be an effective strategy.

If a company’s staff retention is high, many employees may have been there for several years perhaps not utilised to their strengths. How many are different people than they were 5, 10, 15 years ago? We change, in turn our strengths, skills and needs change. By re-applying you and the company are afforded the opportunity to identify if you are happy and best placed in your current role, perhaps you would benefit from more client contact, a change of hours or increased responsibility. Redeployment can be a positive strategy.

As the Economy begins to stabilise companies need to find a way to get ahead of their competitors, some companies use flexible working hours and find talent in working mum’s (and dad’s), talent that is missed by less flexible companies.

Looking at Tech Giants, Facebook (and often Google’s) talent acquisition strategy centres around company acquisition, Zuckenberg is renowned for buying companies simply to acquire talent. In an interview with Liz Gannes, Mark Zuckerberg said ‘’we’ve bought a bunch of companies to get good CEO’s and good product folks…we haven’t yet bought any companies to get the company. It’s

always been [because of] the people involved’’ Stryker delivers a 20% annual, organic growth, like FB, Google and Apple they attribute large success to their talent strategy. In an article published by business Journal, Stryker’s Donna Lewdandowski said ‘’it is not just the company’s expansion that drives our resourcing…

[Stryker] are constantly searching for new talent’’.

The bottom line, if you don’t have a Talent acquisition strategy, get one! As Lewdandowski said ‘we take a long-term rather than a short-term view to recruitment’.

Candidates, use this to your advantage, if you are not on Social Media, get on it, join talent communities; put yourself out there and when speaking with potential companies highlight your long term plans!
