ECCB rolls out Polymer notes

By Staff Reporter Thursday May 30th Brades—Montserrat will have to wait longer for the deployment of the new $50 polymer notes locally, ECCB Governor Timothy N.J. Antoine announced at the recent launch event for the notes at the ECCB office in Grenada last week. According to the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) Governor, the delay is owing to a substantial stock of paper notes present in the Montserrat market which is also the case in the Anguilla market. As a result there is no need for the supply of the new notes until these markets see a decrease in the $50 notes. However when implemented in the local market Montserrat can look forward to experiencing a number of benefits from the new note. At a live stream event Governor Antoine shared that the new notes are of a higher quality and has advanced features compared to the old paper notes, “Compared to paper notes, polymer notes are cleaner [they are resistant to dirt and moisture], more secure [they have advanced security features which make them harder to counterfeit], more durable as they last at least, three times longer than paper notes and more environmentally friendly,” he said. “The switch to polymer necessitated some changes to the designs of the notes in respect of technical and security specifications. However, even with these new design elements, we were careful to maintain a degree of familiarity for ease of use,” Antoine stated. Governor Antoine also revealed that the new notes will also have a new design feature

which will make it easier for persons with visual impairment to identify the notes. He said, “Very importantly, we have incorporated a feature [raised bumps] to make it easy for the blind and visually impaired to handle their money and their business.” Some of the new design features also include the signature of the current Governor and an image of the former ECCB Governor, Sir K. Dwight Venner who served from December 1989 until November 2015. Sir K. Dwight Venner died in December 2016. The new notes also sport a portrait orientation design, which is a move away from the current landscape orientation of the paper notes. Additionally, a holographic foil strip has been introduced as an anti-counterfeiting feature on the $20, $50 and $100, which are most susceptible to counterfeiting. Although the new notes are more economical and costeffective overall than paper the Governor informs that “polymer notes are more expensive to produce upfront, their extended lifespan means that the notes are replaced less often. Consequently, there will be a reduction in transportation and handling costs thus reducing the overall cost of cash for the ECCB, commercial banks and

credit unions.” “As part of our due diligence, the ECCB consulted with colleagues from the Bank of England, the Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Canada on their experiences with changing from paper to polymer.” He said. The ECCB Governor explained that, “The circulation of the new notes will be phased. As unfit paper notes are returned to the Central Bank and our current inventory of paper notes is depleted, they will be replaced by polymer notes… Therefore, as a practical matter, the public ought to expect

that both paper and polymer notes will be in circulation at the same time. They are both legal tender.” In the interim local community groups are being educated on the features and benefits of the new notes in preparation for deployment. Local ECCB representative Angela Estwick, has informed that she has been meetings with groups such as the Boys and Girls Brigade and Montserrat Association for Disabled Persons among others to provide information on the new notes and that these sessions will continue. The new $50 banknotes will be in circulation from June and will run concurrently with the existing paper notes during the transition phase. The $10, $20 and $100 polymer banknotes are scheduled for launch in September 2019, while the five-dollar banknotes will be launched in September 2020.

Dear Kate Reprinted from antiguanewsroom.com

I have had four politician lovers from the same party Dear Kate, There is something wrong with me. I have been in relationships with at least four politicians from the same party. I know it looks like I might be just being passed around like a hand towel but it is really not like that. As a matter of fact, I don’t think they know about each other. The thing about it Kate is that I cannot date a lowclass man. I am a woman of stature and I have to look a certain way and have certain things and only men of that caliber can give it to me. Now this last man of mine which I’ve had for about 7 months now told me we have to end it because elections are around the corner and we need not give the other side anything to attack him with because he’s married. Now I got angry and I accidentally sent a pic of us to his wife. Now he wants nothing to do with me. I’m worried that I may never get another man like him. I can’t manage another politician in my bed. Help me get him back Kate. GovGirl Hello GovGirl Even if I had the powers to help you get this man back, I’m not sure I would. Firstly he is married. Secondly, you’re with him for the wrong reasons. Thirdly, you’re a dangerous mistress and fourthly, I think you’ve had just about enough politicians to last you the rest of your life. Now having said all of that, there must be a renewal of your mind if you ought to get your life straightened out. In fact, there’s hope. Why? Because you are still above ground. The first thing you need to do is humble yourself. I mean get that mindset that you need to live a certain way and have certain things out of your head. All you need is to be comfortable. And you don’t need a man of any “caliber ” to help you rise up. You should be able to do that all by yourself. Know your worth. Forget about these men. Love yourself and sooner or later I’m sure you will find someone who can double up what these politicians ever did for you. And even if you don’t it will still be okay because you’ve got you!! Kate

Your weekly Horoscopes

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21- Feb. 19) Mercury, the planet of dreams and ideas, is bound to be a pleasant influence over the next few weeks, rousing creative impulses and endowing you with a feeling that you can indeed enjoy life on your own terms. It’s time to make plans for the future. Younger family members need your help and sympathy. PISCES (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Thursday and Friday will be your most interesting days, mainly because the Moon, which rules your emotions, will be cruising through a commonsense region of your chart, encouraging you to put your dreams into practice. Whatever stresses and strains you come under during the week, you can be sure that you’ll be rewarded before the weekend. ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) The Moon’s emotional presence in your chart will undoubtedly be strongest at the weekend, so this is the time when you’ll be facing up to family and domestic issues, very much from a position of personal control. Until then, follow your imagination, listen to your intuitions and learn from your dreams. TAURUS (Apr 21 - May 21) Although in general you seem to be having things your way, there is a risk that you’ll blow your chances by losing your temper. Agreed, you may have good cause to feel angry, but what you’ll have to ask yourself is whether conflict is the best way to achieve your aims? It’s far better to stop, think, and listen. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Mysterious conditions continue through the first part of the month. You may therefore still feel a little uncertain about partners’ motives or intentions. However, there is potentially so much happening socially that you can escape personal complications by throwing yourself into group activities. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Mercury, the planet of communication, is bringing a gradual but pronounced shift in your ideas. However, much as you may want to get things off your chest, you seem to be under some sort of pressure to keep certain facts to yourself. Is there some embarrassment, perhaps connected to a friend or family member? LEO (July 24 - Aug 23) There could be no escape from the fact that this is a rather argumentative week. However, you may consciously channel stressful planetary energies towards constructive dialogue. Friends, partners and family members will thank you if you play the peacemaker. But it may also be useful if you allow them to clear the air. VIRGO (Aug 24 - Sep 23) The week opens on a rather busy note, but within a few days the focus will shift towards more personal matters. You’ll be relieved to see that close associates really do share some of your aims. It will therefore be easier than you think to achieve your personal goals. And that has to be welcome news. LIBRA (Sep 24 - Oct 23) Money stars rise up your celestial agenda, so keep a close eye on your finances and don’t do anything rash. Wonderful bargains may turn out to be anything but good buys, while even sound investments may go wrong. As you can see, this is a week to play safe, not to speculate. Expect weird and wonderful social invitations. SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 23) It’s time to face up to your responsibilities, both personal and public. This may require one or two unpopular actions but, as a true Scorpio, nothing can daunt you. Partners who have stepped out of line need putting back in their place. You’re still bound to face a few delays at work but, then, that’s life, as they say! SAGITTARIUS (Nov 24 - Dec 23) You may still be recovering from recent lunar storms, with all their attendant excitement. This may therefore be an ideal time to restore confidence, mend fences, tie up loose ends and generally take charge. Friends and colleagues will be offering invaluable advice, so sit up and listen – for once! CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 - Jan. 20) Press ahead with repairs, decorations and improvements at home, but bear in mind that unusual problems require radical solutions. You may therefore have to break the habits of a lifetime. Family members may have their own ideas, though. Please be diplomatic, say the right thing, and they’ll respect you all the more.

Labour Commissioner calls for more focus on ICT subjects in schools

By Staff Reporter Friday May 31st, Brades— Labour Commissioner Rudolph Christopher calls for a reform and incorporation of ICT subjects in school syllabuses. A move which he believes will better prepare youngsters for future employment. This is one of the propositions which came out from his attendance at the recently concluded eleventh Interna-

tional Labour Organization (ILO) subregional meeting of Ministers of Labour of the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean held in Bridgetown, Barbados. The conference was centered on the theme, “Shaping a Brighter Future of Work for the Caribbean”. In a sit down with AEx News last week he shared, “The syllabus in the schools need to redefined…in a lot of areas and so we need to look at introducing subject areas that is more geared towards the technological age and where we are going in the future of work, preparing our people for the future…decent work ” “There must be a holistic

approach to this, it can’t be just me or the Labour Department. It has to be national and the individual countries, the region as a whole have to look at our systems…and the syllabuses in our schools…even UWI as the main educational institution in the region… to ensure they introduce the right programs and guidance as to how the individual countries could approach education,” he said The Labour Commissioner also informed us of his department’s efforts throughout the years to educate Montserrat workers in the use of ICT, “In the area where we do some training with workers, we play a role in that we help support to keep our workers up to date especially with technology… we have been focusing on that for many years now…help-

ing more people to deal with computers and hopefully that will open a door, a window to go deeper and further into the technological world.” The lLO conference assessed the relevance of the report “Work for a brighter future” of the Global Commission on the Future of Work. The session also evaluated the framework it offers for shaping a better future for the Caribbean, with discussions on what a ‘humancentred agenda’ means for the Caribbean. Montserrat is a member of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) through the UK Government but works with the international labour body to develope policies and programmes for the strengthening of labour relations on island.

Public Pressure ensures MSS rehabilitation becomes a priority

By Staff Reporter Monday May 27th, Little Bay —Public pressure and criticism have influenced a speedy release of funds to support rehabilitation works at the Montserrat Secondary School (MSS), according to the Hon. Premier Donaldson Romeo. This comes after reports circulated prior to the national budget presentation that there were no funds budgeted for works at the MSS despites Government promises of the demolition and reconstruction of two condemned buildings at the MSS late last year that were deemed of unfit for human habitation. Premier Romeo re-

vealed in his budget rebuttal last week, “We were negotiating with DFID and out of those negotiations we were able to get EC$2,972900 released from the £30 million to address education and the MSS situation… we had the money but we couldn’t release it rapidly. It would take months before that money would be released. So thanks to the PTA, thanks to the Permanent Secretary for Education…thanks to the help of the FCO and DFID Directors who visited to see the situation first hand and allowing us now to speed up the release of those monies.” DFID Deputy Director

for the OTs and the Caribbean John Gordon commented during a press conference, “We have talked about the Secondary school buildings and we saw them ourselves. It’s very worrying the pupils haven’t got somewhere safe to learn. We will continue to have discussions with the government about how those

funds will be deployed and school building will be part of that discussion.” The Premier announced that works which will require spending of over EC$3 million will be added to the budget for the demolition of the two condemned building blocks M&L at MSS, the construction of the four to eight temporary classrooms and one toilet facility. Works will also include the construction of the Library, classrooms and replacement of deteriorating wood for the replying of the walk way, refitting of the staffroom office and sick Bay. The refurbishment of dilapidated buildings including the pupil support unit, refitting of furniture and fixtures and addressing termite infection among other works. At present a time-line has not been given on how long these temporary structures will stand before the students and teachers can expect permanent structures, however the Premier has assured that a new MSS building is a priority for the Government.

Good Company and Bad Company kind?” The parrot replied, “That must be my brother. I live with the sages, and my brother lives with hunters. I learned the sage’s language, and my brother learned

the hunter’s language. The company we keep decides who we will be”. Moral: Keep good company if you want to be a good person.

Two parrots built a nest in a banyan tree. They lived with their two young ones, which they took good care of. The mother and the father parrot went out to gather food in the morning and came back home by evening. One day, when their parents were away, the young parrots were taken by a cruel hunter. One of the birds managed to escape and flew away from the hunter. He ended up at a hermitage and grew up listening to kind words and compassion. The hunter put the other parrot in a cage, and soon it learned a few words and phrases. The hunter and his family were crude and didn’t care much about kind words. Name this country!

One day, a passerby was resting outside the hunter’s hut. Sensing someone outside, the parrot said, “Fool, why are you here? Fool! Leave! I’ll cut your throat”. Scared, the traveler went away, and on his journey, he reached the hermitage where the other parrot was. The parrot at the hermitage spoke, “Welcome traveler. You are free to stay here as long as you want”. Surprised, the traveler told the parrot that he encountered a similar parrot elsewhere and it was very cruel. How is that you are so

Mackerel is back on the airwaves with

duced by Fortune Unit Records. Ever since becoming a household name on social media, Mackerel has been plotting a major career move into dancehall. “Hear My Cry” is her third single to date as she gets ready to drop off her debut EP. The comedic singer gets serious in this track as she reflects on her journey, including when her mom kicked her out. “Me never did have no mother love when a new song, “Hear me a grow, my mother put me out when me My Cry.” was fifteen, and mi affi kotch with man,”

with Winford Williams on OnStage where she broke down in tears while speaking about the hardships she endured growing up with her mother. Since then, she and m=her mom have been engaged in a bitter back-and-forth on social media. Now she is expressing herself in the form of a powerful new single. “The struggle is real, but I’m stronger now /I’m a big girl now (repeat) / To judge people is a sin,” Mackerel sings. “Hear My Cry” is now available on iTunes and Spotify.

Apparently, even the biggest fans in Rihanna’s Navy have been saying her name wrong, & their reactions after getting schooled by Riri are hilarious. Rihanna, 31, looks drop-dead-gorgeous in her new Vogue video, but it’s her words that are grabbing everyone’s attention. When the singer introduces herself in the new clip, she uses a very different pronunciation than what fans

are used to. “Hello, British Vogue, it’s ‘Reeanna,’” the singer says, rather than saying “Riah-na,” as fans so often do. Naturally, fans are freaking over the fact that apparently, we’ve all been saying her name wrong for years! “I THOUGHT IT WAS REEAH-NA idk I guess I’ve been brainwashed,” one person tweeted after seeing the video.

Rihanna fans panic after learning they’ve been mispronouncing her name for years there. Riri’s fans from across the globe simply could NOT get over the fact they’ve had her name wrong. “ma’am wha? this is the way i say rihanna… i thought everyone pronounce it this way?” asked one fan. “So we’ve been pronouncing Rihanna‘s name wrong this whole time,” another stated. But — some fans swore they’ve had it right all along. “Us brits we BEEN pronouncing her

name right since dayyy,” one promised. However, as one fan pointed out, Rihanna did try to explain her name pronunciation to us all with her 2017 song “Lemon” with N.E.R.D. “So I prayed and I prayed, It’s REEANNA ni**a” she sang on the track. Apparently, we just haven’t been paying attention! While this is an exciting revelation and all, fans are really wait-

on what the forthcoming record will entail thanks to her New York Times interview earlier this month. The singer was sure to touch upon the fan theories claiming she would be collaborat-

ing with Lady Gaga, 33, on the new record. “It’s not in the books right now, but I’m not against it,” the singer said. We’ll just have to wait and see what ‘Ree-ANNA’ has in store for us.

WORLD CUP: West Indies destroy Pakistan in opener

Antigua News Room In a performance that will surely put the other teams on notice, West Indies whipped Pakistan by seven wickets in a clinical display to kickstart their World Cup campaign in Nottingham on Friday. Winning the toss and electing to bowl first, West Indies hardly did anything wrong in the field, removing half of Pakistan’s batting by the 17th over. Five overs later, the inning was complete, Pakistan a meagre 105 all out. Oshane Thomas, on World Cup debut, bowled with menacing pace, taking 4-27, while skipper Jason Holder plucked out 3-42. Andre Russell and Sheldon Cottrell, who did the initial damage, picked up 2-4 and 1-18 respectively. Fakhar Zaman and Babar

Azam scored 22 apiece. Chris Gayle then blazed 50 off 34 balls (6x4s, 3x6s), and despite the fall of Shai Hope (11) and Darren Bravo (0) cheaply, West Indies

still managed to win quite comfortably, with 218 balls to spare. Nicholas Pooran put the finishing touches to the chase, racing to 34 not out off 19 balls

(4x4s, 2x6s). Mohammad Amir bagged 3-26. With the massive win, West Indies have surged to top of the points table, ahead of England on net run rate.

French Open 2019 | Serena Williams upset at Roland Garros

15

Serena Williams has come under fire following her shock French Open loss to a 20-year-old US usurper, leaving tennis stars fuming. news.com.au Serena Williams’s bid to win a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title was thwarted again on Saturday when she was knocked out of the French Open 6-2, 7-5 by US compatriot Sofia Kenin in the third round. It was 37-year-old Serena’s earliest exit at the Slams since a third round loss to Alize Cornet at Wimbledon in 2014. Kenin, the 20-year-old world number 35, will face eighth seed Ashleigh Barty of Australia for a place in the quarter-finals. Three-time Roland Garros champion Williams was attempting to equal Margaret Court’s

Out.Source:Getty Images record of 24 majors. “She played really well, especially in the first set where she hit pretty much within an inch of the line all the time,” said Williams. But behind the scenes, the fire was only just starting. Williams drew the ire of men’s star Dominic Thiem after booting him out of his own press conference. Tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg said it was because “she didn’t want to wait for him to finish” as media swamped the veteran after her loss. Thiem was fuming at the ordeal and left the media rooms completely in protest, refusing to take more questions. “I don’t really get it, seriously. I mean, what the

hell? No, but it’s a joke, really...I have to leave the room because she’s coming?” Thiem said. “I leave also then. I’m not standing around. I can also do what I want.” The move caught not only Thiem off guard, but left him seething. It was a feeling backed up by Australian tennis player Sam Groth who let his feelings be known on Twitter. “Not a victory for feminism @BenRothenberg, wait your turn for the press room like everyone else. Thiem, still in the draw having won, would have agreed to a press time and has a round of 16 match to prepare for, Serena just has her jet on the tarmac!” Groth wrote. The America veteran, who played just one clay court match in Rome before suffering a knee injury in the run up to the French Open, said she had expected to progress further in Paris. “I would have expected to have gotten past the third round. If someone said I would only get this far, I’d have said they were a liar. “But it is what it is.” “I haven’t been on the court as much as I would have wanted to and it’s been a gruelling season forme.” Kenin wasn’t even born when Williams made her Paris debut in 1998. “There’s a lot of emotions now,” said the Russian-born player. “Serena is such a great champion and I have all the respect for her. I had to fight for every point.” Williams, who has still toadd to her majors collection since she returned to the tour after giving birth to her daughter, fired 30 winners and 34 unforced errors. Kenin committed only half as many. Kenin broke twice in the first set, celebrating every mini-triumph with a ‘c’mon’. She went 3-1 ahead in the second set before Williams, the 2002, 2013 and 2015 champion, clawed her way back to 3-3. But Kenin grabbed what proved to be the crucial break in the 11th game and held her nerve to take victory on a second match point when Williams fired a backhand long. h t t p— s : /with / w wAAP w. n e w s . c o m . a u / s p o r t / t e n n i s / f re n c h - o p e n 2019-serena-williams-upset-at-roland-garros/news-story/ b7955bc237a66d07769c683b815faa48
