	Alderney \| Government
		Alderney is a self-governing, democratic territory and one of the principal islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
		Following the decision of Jon Kay-Mouat, Alderney’s longest serving President, to retire from office in January 2002, Sir Norman Browse was elected President of the States on 19 January 2002 to serve until December 2004.
		As Alderney comes under the Bailiwick of Guernsey for purposes of taxation, the States of Guernsey are responsible to ensure that sufficient resources are available to the Island in order to ensure that the appropriate levels of public services are maintained.

	Alderney
		Alderney shares a history with the other Channel Islands, becoming an island in the Neolithic period as the waters of the Channel rose.
		Due to the small population of Alderney, it was believed that the island could not be self-sufficient in running the airport and the harbour, as well as in providing services that would match those of the United Kingdom.
		The 20th century saw a lot of change in Alderney, from the building of the airport in the late 1930s to the death of the last speakers of the island's language (Auregnais, a dialect of Norman language).

	The Alderney Cow
		The term 'Alderney Cow' found in literature from Tobias Smollet to A.A.Milne, indicates a small, fawn, dairy cow, once popular in England with the landed gentry and prosperous farmers, often used as a house cow and yielding delicious rich milk and yellow cream.
		This meant the end of the true Alderney type and the last calf of true Alderney blood was born on July 16th 1927.
		Any pure Alderney cows, therefore, taken off the island to Guernsey in 1940, when the Channel Islands were occupied by the German army, would have been at least 13 years old and none of these survived the evacuation to return to Alderney after the war.
