New British Toad Species Found In JerseyJersey toad collaboration between conservationists from Jersey and the UK and scientists in the Neth-erlands 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, private-ly-owned garden sites which often support only small (and possibly in the long-term non-viable) breeding populations of single numbers of spawning females.
The Department of the Environment has been working to protect the Is-land’s toads for a number of years. Ongoing conservation measures in-clude supporting and advising people who want to install a garden pond, improving where toads live and con-
necting different breeding sites so toad populations continue to thrive.
Jersey’s toad populations are moni-tored through Jersey Toadwatch, a project jointly run by the Depart-ment of the Environment and Dur-rell. Information is added to breed-ing records to give conservationists a clearer picture on trends to inform future action.Dr Wilkinson carried out his PhD
research on Jersey toads and now works as Science Programme Man-ager for UK charity Amphibian and Reptile Conservation. He said “We always suspected there was some-thing special about the toads of Jer-sey. They grow larger, breed earlier and use different habitats than Eng-lish toads. Now we know they are a new species, we can ensure efforts for their conservation are directed to their specifi c needs.”
Local Charity To Host A Debate At Th e Town Hall
Family Nursing & Home Care (FNHC), the leading provider of com-munity nursing and care services in Jersey, has organised a debate to dis-cuss the issues shaping Jersey’s ability to deliver high standards of care to el-derly islanders in the future.
Th e debate event, which takes place at the Town Hall on Wednesday 12th No-vember, will see islanders question a panel of experts on just how a chang-ing population will aff ect Jersey’s abil-ity to fund and deliver care services in the future, exploring ideas which could be adopted to address this critical is-sue. Th e debate will follow three main themes; aff ordability, delivery and qual-ity of care.
‘Th e challenges thrown up by an ageing population are not unique to Jersey, it’s an issue aff ecting 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. Th at’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 for-mer journalist and volunteer at Macmil-lan, 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. ‘Th e population debate and in particu-lar 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 al-ready be impacting our lives or those of our loved ones. We must start looking at ways in which we can manage this situa-tion sooner rather than later.’
Th e aim of the debate is to get islanders, politicians and decision makers think-ing 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 surround-ing a changing and growing population
– immigration and an ageing popu-lation being the two main concerns. FNHC wants to listen to public opin-ion and those of the event’s experts so that they’re better placed to make rec-ommendations 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.
Th e panelists will include assistant di-rector 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 Guern-sey minister, Peter Roff ey and director of system redesign and delivery at the States of Jersey Health and Social Ser-vices, 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.

20 New Jobs To Be Created At New Co-operative Locale
The Channel Islands Co-opera-tive Society Limited (the Soci-ety) 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 up-per floors of the building, which have been acquired by a devel-oper, will be turned into 19 social housing flats.
Colin Macleod, Chief Execu-tive Officer of the Society, said: ‘We are delighted to announce
that we will be transforming the ground floor of this tired of-fice building into a modern and convenient shopping experi-ence for our members who live, commute through or work in the south east of St Helier. Colom-berie 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 ca-reers 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 cus-tomers 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, in-sulated and modernised to trans-form the existing office block into a sustainable and environmen-tally friendly residential building. The development of the new flats and the regeneration of the build-ing will also bring additional em-ployment for local tradesmen.
From 6.45 on Wednesdays during Novem-ber The National Trust for Jersey invites you to 16 New Street to enjoy a series of themed candlelit film screenings with in-troductions by film aficionado Stefan Rous-seau of Jersey’s ‘Alliance Francaise’.
12th Nov: Master & Commander: Far Side of the World, Dir. Peter Weir, 2003The 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" Au-brey 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, 1995Based on Jane Austen’s novel of 1811, star-ring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, the story follows the Dashwood sisters. Though they are members of a wealthy English fam-ily 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. Jean-Marc Vallée, 2009It was Sarah, Duchess of York, who con-ceived the idea for this film, which was writ-ten 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 Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Filming took place at various architectural landmarks in England with great emphasis on historical accuracy.

Jersey’s longest established auction site, Glencoe, which is operated by Simon Drieu & Co Ltd, has gone green by moving its sys-tems to the cloud, cutting its paper usage by up to 40%.
‘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-
ness and this move to the cloud will ensure that our business remains viable and contin-ues to operate for many years to come,’ said Simon Drieu, managing director of Simon Drieu & Co Ltd. The move to the cloud follows the company’s sustainable approach to reusing and recy-cling second hand goods. There are no mini-mum values in place for people wishing to
sell items at Glencoe, which means that each weekly auction hosts a vast array of unwanted items from cars to tools and household furni-ture to art and antiques. If any items are un-sold the owner can either take them back or if they prefer the items are donated to charity for recycling. The auction site at Glencoe, which has been in operation since 1956, has changed lit-tle 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.
‘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 compa-nies of all sizes and sectors. I was taken to the auction as a boy by my father and am delight-ed that these changes will ensure that Glen-coe 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.
Long Established Island Business Goes Green...
Reg's SkipsA long running planning issue is resolved as Reg's Skips gets permission for its site.
Planning approval has been granted for a skip emptying and sorting business. McQuaigs Quarry had submitted a retrospective appli-cation for permission to run a sorting busi-ness at Les Charrieres de Bonne Nuit, St John on behalf of Reg’s Skips 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 ap-plicant’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.

Ten Jersey businesses are work-ing together to encourage Jersey people to buy from Jersey retail-ers this Christmas. “Local retailers are the heart and soul of our community, we serve our neighbours with tailored prod-ucts and services, whilst keeping Jersey’s money within our local economy.” Says Mike Taylor, a Di-rector of Jersey Pearl who initi-ated Give Jersey. The high street is suff ering, with UK retail sales down 2.1% dur-ing the month of September on a like for like basis with September 2013, making it the weakest per-formance since 2008, according to data from the British Retail Con-sortium.
Give Jersey is engineered to boost trade for local business by reward-ing people with increasing levels of discount the more Give retailers they shop from.
Starting from 5% and growing in in-crements of 5% at each store, up to a signifi cant saving of 30%. A collection of long established, and up and coming Jersey brands have collaborated to take part in Give Jersey , including Coopers & Co, Creepy Valley, THE INN, Jersey Oak, Jersey Pearl, La Lilou, Love Bird, Nest Art Studio, Love Wine and Pennyfeathers.
Mike from Jersey Pearl adds that “The beauty of Give is that it is structured in such a way that shop-pers will be incentivised to buy from Jersey stores that they might not normally visit, where we’re sure they’ll be delighted with the products and service that you just can’t fi nd elsewhere.”

Regulations To End Display Of Tobacco ProductsNew regulations on the adver-tising, promotion and display of tobacco mean that from 30 October 2014 retailers in Jer-sey 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 follow-ing 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 cus-tomers under 18 years of age (as well as not being able to sell them to anyone under 18 years)•tobacco price lists displayed be-hind 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 pic-tures 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 tobac-co, for people aged 18 and over. Tobacco products can be uncov-ered 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 to-bacco products cannot be seen when in the Jersey Harbours and Airport.
Head of Health Improvement, Martin Knight said: “These regu-lations are the latest component of the States of Jersey Tobacco Control Strategy, working to-wards the aim of reducing smok-ing amongst adults and the up-take of smoking among young people.
“There is good evidence that gantry displays in shops with
their strong branding can trig-ger 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 infl uenced by tobacco imagery, branding and tobacco gantries, increas-ing the perceived availability and normalisation of tobacco prod-ucts.
“These changes, alongside a range of other actions within the Tobac-co Control Strategy will help re-duce the harm tobacco causes to the health of Islanders.”
Regulatory offi cers from the En-vironmental 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 com-pliance 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.”

Bohemia Has Ranked As One Of Britain’s Best Bohemia Restaurant has been named one of the best restau-rants in the UK in Th e Sunday Times Top 100 Food List.
Th e restaurant’s success was made even sweeter as the guide also awarded Bohemia the ‘6th best pudding in the UK’.
Th e Michelin star restaurant is the only eatery in the Chan-nel Islands to make it into the top 100, listed alongside Hes-ton Blumenthal’s Th e Fat Duck, Th e Ledbury, Th e Waterside Inn, and Le Gavroche, fi rmly cementing both the restaurant’s and Jersey’s status as one of the world’s top foodie destinations.
Head Chef Steve Smith said: “Th e whole team at Bohemia is ecstatic. To receive this accolade really is a testament to our hard work and commitment to deliv-ering the fi nest standard of food.”
Th e Sunday Times Food List ranks Britain’s top 100 restau-rants by the quality of their food. It is compiled together with the Harden’s restaurant guide and based on 70,000 reviews from more than 6,000 consumers.
Th e celebratory vibe at the ho-tel is even greater as this an-nouncement comes weeks aft er the restaurant was awarded 4AA Rosettes, and a top score in the Good Food Guide 2015.
Head Chef Steve Smith was one of the youngest chefs in the country to achieve a Michelin star, at the age of just 24. Steve has created a truly outstanding dining experience with his ingre-dient and fl avour driven tasting menus. Bohemia Bar & Restau-rant boasts a stellar reputation for its fi rst rate cuisine, placing it fi rmly on the gastronomic map as a food-lover’s destination.

Eat Safe Jersey All outlets in Jersey which supply food will have their hygiene rating made public via the “Eat Safe Jer-sey” search engine, part of a new initiative from the Environmental Health Department.
Islanders can log onto www.gov.je/eatsafe to see how anywhere which serves food scores on the kitchen cleanliness rating. It means that for the fi rst time outlets will be given a rating for hygiene regarding food preparation, providing consumers with information about the hygiene standards of Island food businesses.
Anywhere scoring 3 stars and above will be awarded prominent green stickers and a certifi cate. Those scor-ing only 2 stars or below will not be able to display a sticker.
Caroline Maffi a, Team Leader for Food Safety and Infectious Disease of the Environmental Health team said: “Almost everyone in Jersey enjoys food made by someone else, whether that’s a great meal out, tasty takea-way at home, shop bought sandwich for lunch or a morning croissant on the way to work. But how do we know if the food has been prepared
in a safe manner? Eat Safe Jersey rates food businesses on their hygiene standards, based on inspections car-ried out by the States’ Environmental Health team. Businesses are rated on a scale ranging from a top rating of ‘5 stars’ – meaning excellent – to ‘0 stars’ which means very poor stand-ards of hygiene.”
Caroline added: “Eat Safe Jersey is about providing consumer choice. You will now know the hygiene standards of premises and can make a choice as to whether or not you eat there.”
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 Dimi-tri: a undeniable elegant and, a devoted dance music fanatic...
..In February 2005 the French government awarded him the very offi cial rank of Knight of the Arts and Letters. Along with Air and Cas-sius he was the fi rst artist from the Electronica fi eld to be given such a distinction...
..His musical infl uences are deeply rooted in 70s Funk and Disco sounds that spawned to-days 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 fi rst 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 offi cial and nationwide radio he became the very fi rst DJ to pioneer house music all over France. His mix show was fi rst of its kind and ran over 10 years til 1998 making him a cult fi gure with dance music connoisseurs.
It wasn't until 1997 however, that he became world famous with the release of his fi rst album "Sacrebleu" on Bob Sinclar's Yellow Produc-tions label. “Sacrebleu” sold several hundred thousand copies and was named one of the Ten Top Albums Of Th e Year by UKs infl uential 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 Th e 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 fi rst outing on UK's premier dance music label Defected: "Dimitri from Paris In the House".
2005 saw Dimitri go back to his Funk and Dis-co roots, with fellow super collector Joey Negro for "Kings of Disco" (BBE). In 2006 he off ered his "In the House of Love" outing to Valentine Day's lovers. Later on he produced Los Amigos Invisibles "Super Pop Venezuela" album.
Th e "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 Th e 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 num-ber 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 Man-sion”, “Defected in House of Disco” CD Series and all-round sophisticated gentleman.

Householders are regularly being advised to install double glazing, thorough insulation and overhaul their inefficient heating sys-tem. But apart from those often expensive tactics, what can be done cheaply and quick-ly to keep your house warm?
1. Use tin foil. One way to prevent unneces-sary 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 char-ity Friends of the Earth. Foil specially designed for the purpose can be bought for under £10.
"You can even use good quality kitchen foil," says Carl Brennand, assistant manager of web-site 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 cur-tains," 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
curtain. "My gran used to have an old rug that she used to pin up over the back of the front door," says interior designer Claire Potter.
3. But let the sunlight in during the day. It's important to try to use as much natural - and free - heat as possible. Window shades and curtains should be kept open during the day, advise Age UK. Closing your curtains as soon as dusk falls will maximise your house's poten-tial to retain that heat.
4. Double glazing is heat-efficient but it's relatively costly. If you can't afford it, why not fake it? There's a special film that you can put across [single-glazed] windows that can imitate the same effect, albeit to a lesser degree. You can attach the film to the window frame using double-sided tape and then fix it using a hairdryer. There is a downside though. You won't be able to open your win-dows without breaking the seal. But a pack to cover a medium-sized house would be about £15, estimates Claire, so it could just be redone from time to time. Claire, who has no heating system in her house, says one batch of film has
lasted about 2 or 3 years as she has small win-dows. Alternatively, self-adhesive foam strips can help seal any gaps in the edges of windows. Metal or plastic strips with brushes or wipers attached cost a bit more but will last longer as a result, according to the Energy Saving Trust. These can also be used as draught excluders around the hinges and frames of doors.
5. Stop heat being lost up the chimney. It's now fairly common to have fireplaces that are merely decorative. If you're not using yours then you should consider a chimney balloon. There's an amazing amount of heat that can be lost through an open fireplace. A chimney balloon, made from a special laminate, can be bought for about £20 and works by being placed inside the chimney hole, just out of sight. It's then inflated until it completely shuts out any incoming cold air or escaping heat. Just be sure not to start a fire without remov-ing it. There are also woollen chimney insula-tors on the market. But again, make sure you remove them before starting any fires.

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 be-ing dazzled by low sun, so it makes sense to ensure that your windscreen is spotless, in-side 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 exagger-ate the dazzle effect. It is recommended to keep your sunglasses in the car and handy to put on.
FogLights 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.
PuddlesWith 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.
Leaves on the road Leaves cause two main problems, apart from blocking drains; they often cover road markings, which is a particular prob-lem at junctions. The fallen leaves make any wet roads even more slippery than usual which makes braking more hazardous.
BE PREPARED
BatteryBattery failure is consistently one of the most common causes of breakdown. If your battery is more than five years old, now may be the time to change it be-fore it lets you down unexpectedly.Cold temperatures adversely affect the bat-tery making it more likely to die at this time of year. Help preserve your battery by ensuring everything is turned off when you park at the end of the day. Before you start a cold car switch off everything electrical (heater, lights, wipers, heated seats etc.) and make sure you depress the clutch. Keep the top of the battery clean and dry and check the terminals from time to time, ensuring they are tight and free from corrosion, a layer of Vaseline (or similar) on the terminals can help to keep out moisture.
BonnetMake sure you check under your bonnet. Leaves can gather and block up vents or accumulate water, which then has the po-tential to damage the electrics.
Anti-freezeIf you need to use anti-freeze in your car it is important that you make sure that you’ve got the correct anti-freeze in the right con-
centration for your engine. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.
LightsCar bulbs should all be checked at least once a week, particularly as nights draw in and mornings darken. Most bulbs can be changed following the instructions in your Handbook. it is advised to carry spare bulbs at all times.
TyresThe legal tread depth is 1.6mm, however, a minimum tread depth of 3mm is recom-mended for autumn/winter driving. Now is the time to check your spare tyre, or repair kit if you don’t carry a spare. Tyre pressures must be checked regularly to make sure they meet the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
WindscreensGlare is a particular problem at this time of year. Keep your windscreen clean, inside
and out and get minor chips and scratches repaired. Check that the washer reservoir is topped up with a good quality additive in the right concentration – scented products are now available! 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 sur-roundings 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 be-come with even a small amount of season-specific training.
Autumn driving
Motoring
8 Vehicles Taken Off The RoadMore road checks are likely following the impoundment of 18 vehicles.
Eight vehicles were taken off the road in Sep-tember because of rusty bodywork. 2,492 ve-hicles passed through the road checks in St Lawrence, St Mary and Grouville.
48 vehicles were checked. In addition to the eight impounded vehicles, 18 drivers were issued with defect notices and a further ten drivers were asked to attend parish hall en-quiries for failing to display a valid insurance disc. 13 vehicles had lighting defects. Other problems included oil leaks, broken mirrors, noisy exhausts, defective bodywork and worn tyres.The road checks were a combined operation
between officers from Driver and Vehicle Standards, the States of Jersey Police Roads Policing Unit, Customs and Immigration, and the honorary police.
The Inspector of Motor Traffic, Gordon For-rest, said "I am seriously concerned that some drivers are prepared to put themselves and other road users at risk by driving vehicles in such poor condition.
“I hope drivers will take this as a warning and thoroughly check over their vehicles to ensure that they are roadworthy. We will be conduct-ing more of these checks with our colleagues from the other services in the near future and I hope we will not be seeing vehicles in such poor condition.”

Work Opportunities ForJibs’s New Degree IntakeJersey International Business School is to welcome 12 new students onto their two-year BSc (Hons) Inter-national Financial Services degree, over 50% of whom have already con-fi rmed work experience placements secured through the Undergraduate Employment Programme (UGEP).
Th e students will be undertaking an intensive course of study following the traditional University of Buck-ingham structure of four terms per annum, which means that students graduate a year earlier than their peers.
In addition to studying at the Busi-ness School on Mondays and Tues-days, students can apply to some of the Island’s leading fi nance institu-tions for a paid work programme which allows them to complement their studies with hands-on offi ce ex-perience on Th ursdays and Fridays.
Danielle Connan has successfully se-cured an internship with the States of
Jersey, Internal Audit Service as part of her Undergraduate Employment Programme. As part of Danielle’s role she will support the audit fi eld senior in reviewing compliance with States of Jersey internal procedures and poli-cies. Th e role will provide her with an insight into the objectives of the States of Jersey and give her the opportu-nity to learn about fi nance, govern-ance and risk management processes.
Danielle commented: “I am absolutely delighted to have been off ered a work placement on the JIBS Undergraduate Employment Programme. Of course I have been both excited and appre-hensive, as this will be a new course and a new offi ce environment, both of which I have never experienced be-fore! Having met the staff at JIBS and the States of Jersey I am terribly excited about starting my career with a degree in International Financial Services”
Catherine Watson, Chief Internal Auditor and Head of Risk for the
States of Jersey, said: “Good govern-ance and compliance are vital in both private and public sector organi-sations and this placement will ensure that Danielle has a solid foundation in both. As well as providing valuable experience for individuals, internships like this give us the opportunity to deliver on the States of Jersey’s commitment to develop the skills of talented Islanders. We are delight-ed that Danielle has accepted our off er and I wish her well in both her studies and her internship with us.”
Applications for the 2-year degree are currently being accepted for next October and for the new 3-year study option which begins in January 2015. Students wanting to enrol onto the degree can submit their application direcly to the school, in addition to their UCAS applications, and can contact Gavin Fraser on 01534 816333 or email [email protected] for further information.
Deloitte hasWelcomed 14 To 2014 ClassDeloitte in Jersey has wel-comed a group of 14 young people into the business and the bright and talented new joiners have embarked on their accountancy training programme.
They are a mix of university graduates, A-level and scholar students and all had to com-plete a rigorous selection pro-cedure. Deloitte in Jersey re-ceived almost 100 applications for the 14 places. The success-ful candidates passed through a pre-screening process, various numerical and critical thinking tests and a number of inter-views, including one with a De-loitte Partner or Director.
The new joiners have widely var-ied educational backgrounds, with degrees in accounting and fi nance, economics and lan-guages, sport, physiology and biochemistry, which refl ect the diverse nature of Deloitte’s sec-tors, their clients’ interests and the fi rm’s passion for bringing broad thinking and insights to their clients.
Deloitte caters for all levels by offering positions at graduate level, A-level and scholar – it all depends on what stage the ap-plicant wants to start their ca-reer. On the scholar scheme, students will work at the fi rm for seven months as part of their gap year plans before heading to university next autumn.
The group has quickly settled into the routine of work and study and they have already started their professional edu-
cation training and taken the fi rst exams of Institute of Char-tered Accountants of England & Wales (ICAEW) or Association of Chartered Certifi ed Accountants (ACCA) courses. They have also undertaken extensive in-house training and the next years will see them take on more respon-sibility throughout the audit.
Deloitte’s learning and develop-ment programmes involve both theoretical learning and hands-on practical client work.
‘I know the next few years will help me to develop my core skills and experience a wide number of industries both in the class-room and at my desk,’ says Ciara Lynch, graduate. ‘Juggling the demands on my time will be the biggest challenge but I am re-ally enjoying the client work and getting involved in meetings.’
As well as rapid promotion, De-loitte’s agile working policy gives staff the responsibility for how, when and where they work, plus the fi rm allows the purchase of additional holiday over and above the standard 25 days. This all helps trainees manage the challenges of a demanding job and tough exams.
‘As a training organisation, De-loitte provides exceptional op-portunities for young people and this year’s group of new joiners have proved they are all bright and talented individu-als. We are all looking forward to following their progress over the next three years,’ says Greg Branch, Managing Partner of Deloitte Offshore.

Talent Acquisition: A Measured Approach or a Word Like Love? Einstein once said that the defi nition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a diff erent result, if this is true then talent acquisi-tion, in many cases, fi ts that bill. Talent (and acquisition / strategy / advisory) are all terms that get thrown around a little too much; it is an over-used, mis-understood term…. A lot like Love!
I ‘love’ this, I ‘love’ that, I ‘love’ you. Eve-rybody is in love these days and the word just doesn’t have the same depth of mean-ing it once did, taking us back to the good old days; Love was Marriage and com-panies hired, then they recruited, more recently it has been search and selection and today it is talent acquisition.
Almost every company uses the term Talent Acquisition Strategy; they all have it in one way or another. What exactly is talent acquisition? What does it mean? If everyone is doing it what sets them apart from their competitors? Perhaps most importantly how can candidates use a company’s talent acquisition strategy to their advantage during the hiring process? Talent acquisition has developed from a once back offi ce process to a core business strategy, which, when used successfully by companies can directly and positively impact organisational growth.
A talent acquisition strategy is much more than recruiting talented people. To successfully employ a strategy compa-nies need to constantly attract new talent whilst re-recruiting and developing the talent they have. A good talent strategy cannot be implemented overnight, it takes an age to see through, it is not just about
getting the right people through the door, it is about keeping them and most impor-tantly utilising them to their full potential.
In a report published by Deloitte Uni-versity Press it states ‘’companies looking to recruit talent and acquire new talent must now compete on a new battlefi eld – a battlefi eld shaped by new global talent networks and social media and defi ned by employment brands and changing views of careers’’. Whilst many companies have a talent acquisition strategy many processes used by in-house and external recruit-ers have not changed. Swapping the term hiring or recruiting for talent acquisition does little to change the way a company approaches their talent needs. Deloitte identifi es that companies that fail to adapt [to a modern approach] will be on the los-ing end [of the talent war].
An eff ective talent strategy must be treated both In-house and out like a marketing campaign. Employer brand is imperative; sources like Glassdoor now make it easy for candidates to get an in-depth view of a company without ever setting foot in the door. Social media sites are a must and many companies engage in talent communities to identify candidates and showcase their brand. Outsourcing does not mean relinquishing control of the recruiting process it can instead provide a valued and measurable resource that helps companies stay ahead. I consult to several clients working with them in all areas of their talent needs.
Global statistics show the UK lags behind other countries in the race to change their talent strategies, 60% of respondents to
Deloitte’s report published in 2014 state they are currently updating or revamping their talent sourcing strategy.
In a recent move an Island company (not the fi rst one) invited employees to re-apply for their jobs. Perhaps unsurpris-ingly this left many outraged ‘How dare they?’ was the common response. If you look at the fl ip-side, when communicated properly this can be an eff ective 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 diff erent 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 aff orded the opportunity to identify if you are happy and best placed in your current role, perhaps you would benefi t from more client contact, a change of hours or increased responsibility. Re-deployment can be a positive strategy.
As the Economy begins to stabilise com-panies need to fi nd a way to get ahead of their competitors, some companies use fl exible working hours and fi nd talent in working mum’s (and dad’s), talent that is missed by less fl exible companies.
Looking at Tech Giants, Facebook (and oft en Google’s) talent acquisition strat-egy centres around company acquisition, Zuckenberg is renowned for buying companies simply to acquire talent. In an interview with Liz Gannes, Mark Zuck-erberg 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 busi-ness Journal, Stryker’s Donna Lewdan-dowski said ‘’it is not just the company’s expansion that drives our resourcing… [Stryker] are constantly searching for new talent’’.
Th e bottom line, if you don’t have a Talent acquisition strategy, get one! As Lewdan-dowski 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 compa-nies highlight your long term plans!
