Three elected officials distinguished for thirty-five years in office

Jean-Marie Oxéant, Daniel Laronche and Jacques Hélène, elected to the municipal council of Vierville-sur-Mer since 1977, received the municipal, departmental and regional gold medal. This distinction honored thirty-five years of commitment to the service of the community.

During the ceremony organized on a Saturday, the mayor, Antoine de Bellaigue, emphasized their loyalty to their duties and to the service of the inhabitants. Former mayor Jean-Marie Oxéant presented the career of his colleagues.

Jacques Hélène had been the teacher of Vierville until 1988, the year of the closure of the single class. He then joined Trévières, where he led the school until his retirement. He was also at the origin of the reading point of the municipality.

Farmer, Daniel Laronche had maintained a farm on a human scale, conducted with respect for the environment. Second deputy, he was also a delegate and negotiator for the municipality’s contracts. His sense of public service was particularly praised.

Jean-Marie Oxéant, elected mayor in 1983, had chaired the Water Syndicate and participated in the creation of the community of municipalities. Antoine de Bellaigue recalled the many files he had led since joining the board and his reputation as a project man.

The President of the General Council, the Member of Parliament and other elected officials also paid tribute to the commitment of the three recipients.
