Chief Justice to leave TCI and return to Cayman bench

BY OLIVIA ROSE MARGARET Ramsay-Hale has stepped down as Chief Justice in the TCI to return to the Cayman Islands after being appointed a judge of the Grand Court in that territory.

Acting Governor Anya Williams announced the CJ’s resignation in a statement on Tuesday (November 12).

She said: “It is with sincere regret that I announce that the Chief Justice, the Hon. Madame Justice Margaret Ramsay-Hale, has resigned effective January 2020 to take up a judicial appointment in the Cayman Islands.

“We are grateful for the distinguished service and sterling contribution of Chief Justice Ramsay-Hale to the justice system of the TCI over the last eight years, particularly in her role as chief justice where she has led on modernisation, transparency and access to justice for all as a part of her mandate.

“We wish her well on her new appointment,” Williams added.

According to the Cayman Compass, the Judicial and Legal Services Commission in the Cayman Islands recently carried out an open recruitment process advertising the post locally and overseas.

Following a short-listing process, a panel interviewed five candidates for the post, ultimately recommending Justice Ramsay-Hale as the successful candidate.

Governor of the British overseas territory Martyn Roper said: “Justice Ramsay-Hale’s skills and experiences, as well as her commitment and passion to the legal and judicial services, will serve to continue to enhance our judiciary.

and Caicos Islands Judiciary in 2011, Chief Justice Ramsay-Hale became the first woman to be appointed a judge of the Supreme Court.

In September 2014, she again made history, becoming the Islands’ first female chief justice.

During her swearing in ceremony she said that she would be working to ensure that the courts had functioning recording systems and that transcripts of proceedings were readily available.

She also promised a good archival system and a court website where information could be easily accessible to relevant and interested parties.

Ramsay-Hale is a graduate of the London School of Economics, the University of the West Indies and the Norman Manley Law School, Jamaica.

She was called to the Bar of Jamaica in October 1991 and rose quickly to the Bench, being appointed a judge of the Family Court of Western Jamaica in 1995.

As well as being chief justice in the TCI, she is also the sole presiding judge in the civil and commercial divisions of the Turks and Caicos Court and presides in the criminal and matrimonial/family divisions.

In 1998, she moved to the Cayman Islands where she served initially as magistrate for ten years and later as chief magistrate for three years.

Ramsay-Hale made substantial contributions to reform in case and court administration and changed the criminal justice paradigm from incarceration to treatment for drug offenders and the mentally ill in conflict with the law.

FORMER PDM member turned PNP all island candidate, Shaun Malcolm, has accused the premier of abusing her powers to get him fired as Flow TCI social media ambassador.

The serious accusations were made on Wednesday (November 13) in a Facebook post on Malcolm’s page, later prompting Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson to respond.

Malcolm alleged that the premier put direct pressure on the local arm of the regional telecoms company by sending a letter of complaint enquiring how he was allowed to continue representing the company while offering himself for political office.

The 2020 candidate alleged that the letter was sent to the company immediately after the PNP convention earlier this year.

Malcolm said he chose not to address the matter at the time, but a few weeks ago when the premier made a national address on the air traffic controllers strike, she again - by his estimation - took the opportunity to tarnish his reputation with the company after he had showed up to the protest to live stream it on social media under his ambassadorship with Flow.

Malcolm said that this latest effort succeeded and he was removed from the brand ambassador position at 4pm on November 12.

Shortly after the PNP candidate’s allegations were made public, the premier responded to them on her personal Facebook page.

Firstly, she addressed prior accusations made by the Opposition candidate that her office has blocked him from Government events in the past.

“I ignored Mr Malcolm the first time he sought to mislead the public

by implying the Office of the Premier had given orders not invite him to this year’s National Honours and Awards Ceremony, as he claimed he was invited in the previous years.

“Anyone associated with the awards knows that the honourees, their guests, and members of the HOA are the only persons that receive invitations to this public event.

“Nothing prevents other members of the public from attending and he had done so over the years.”

Next she addressed Malcolm’s most recent allegations against her office.

She stated: “I note with interest two allegations levelled at me: a written complaint from the premier as to Flow’s use of Mr Malcolm as its ambassador and an allegation of abuse of power.

“On the first matter, as Flow is said to be the source of the information shared in Mr Malcolm’s most recent fable, I am publicly calling on Mr Shaun Malcolm or Flow to produce the letter of complaint from the Office of the Premier.”

She added that it remained Flow’s prerogative to continue its relationship, and provide coverage to whoever and whatever events, or to use as ambassadors whomever they desire, as they have done over time.

“They remain wholly responsible to account for donations in coverage.

This is a matter for Flow and its ‘surprisingly’ paid ambassador, not for the Government.”

The premier further said that if the PNP 2020 candidate believes she has abused her office, and if Flow felt pressured to fire Malcolm, then they are both within their rights to report her to the relevant authorities, in this case, the Integrity Commission.

“Show the people the proof and hold me into account,” she encouraged.

Threats made against SIPT judge Harrison

BY DELANA ISLES FOLLOWING months of delays in the anticipated resumption of the SIPT trial, the court received two startling news bulletins when the trial finally convened on Monday (November 11).

First, Jamaican appointed jurist Paul Harrison informed the court that he was advised by the Jamaican police and the TCI authorities, that threats had been made against him.

Harrison, 82, said the threats involved his carriage of the trial in which former premier Michael Misick, ex-Government ministers and others are facing charges of corruption.

He told the court: “I do not regard the defendants or anyone concerned

with their legal representation as being concerned with any such matters and I will see to it that the trial continues, and that it will be a fair trial to all, based on the evidence heard in this court.

“And that nothing extraneous to such evidence will be brought to bear in my consideration of this case.”

No indication has been given if the judge has since been assigned security detail.

In 2015, the SIPT team had been given security following what was described by former head of the team Helen Garlick at the time as “credible threats”.

In August 2015, $2.2 million was allocated for security for the prosecution team, but that was later discontinued, and security at the

courthouse, which was intensive at the time, was slackened considerably.

The prosecution team has been operating for more than ten years in the territory without incident.

MISICK BACKS AWAY FROM TESTIFYING Meanwhile, another surprise announcement came from the lawyer for chief defendant Michael Misick.

Senior counsel Reginald Armour informed the court that his client will no longer be taking the witness stand to defend himself against the many charges brought against him by the Special Investigation and Prosecution Team (SIPT).

The lawyer said it is his client’s

SIPT Judge, Jamaicain jurist Paul Harrison

constitutional right not to testify.

The lawyer had previously requested additional time from the court to prepare his client to take the stand.

This time was granted and considerably extended due to unforeseen circumstances involving other parties involved in the trial.

Misick’s promised testifying has been one of the high points of the trial which has lost the interests of the public.

The only references to the trial, both locally and regionally, continue to be that of when will it end.

That end may be in sight with this new development, as no indication has been given by the other defendants if they will be testifying.

As such, it may be a matter of months, or less, for both sides to be done presenting their closing statements to the judge.

This week, an old application was resubmitted for consideration in the trial.

When the defence and the prosecution finally present their closing arguments, the judge will then be tasked with reviewing some 2,700 court exhibits, and consider the testimony of over 200 witnesses before handing down a determination on the guilt or innocence of the defendants.

The 82-year-old jurist is serving as judge and jury of the three yearlong proceedings.

CIBC FirstCaribbean majority interest sold

BY OLIVIA ROSE CANADIAN Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) has sold two-thirds of its FirstCaribbean banking unit to a company run

by Colombian billionaire Jaime Gilinski for $797 million.

The bank confirmed on Friday, November 8, that an agreement had been reached with GNB Financial Group on the purchase of a portion of CIBC’s shares in its Caribbean entity - FirstCaribbean International Bank.

GNB Financial Group will buy 66.73 percent of FirstCaribbean shares from CIBC, leaving Canada’s fifth-largest lender with about a 25 percent stake in the Barbados-based bank.

The sale values FirstCaribbean at about $1.2 billion, compared with $2.8 billion when CIBC took over most of the business.

CEO of FirstCaribbean Colette Delaney said: “FirstCaribbean is a strong, well-performing business that continues to grow

across the region.

“FirstCaribbean remains laser focused on delivering on its strategy - providing its clients with first class service through a modern everyday banking experience and providing its employees with the best possible work experience.”

Last week, news of the sale to Colombian billionaire Jaime Gilinski made headlines around the world.

Gilinski, chairman of GNB Financial Group, said: “FirstCaribbean will remain the strong entity it is today, committed to servicing its clients in the region.

“I have been impressed by the strength and stability of FirstCaribbean and am excited about its prospects for the future.”

GNB is wholly owned by Starmites Corporation Sarl, the financial holding company of the Gilinski Group.

The Gilinski Group has banking operations in Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, Panama, and the Cayman Islands with about $15 billion in combined assets.

FirstCaribbean is one of the

largest regionally listed financial services institutions in the English and Dutch speaking Caribbean, with $11.5 billion in assets and a market capitalisation of $2.1 billion as at July 31.

For CIBC, the sale marks a scaleback in the region it has been banking in since 1920 when the Canadian

lender opened branches in Barbados and Jamaica and expanded regionwide.

The bank combined operations with Barclays in 2002 to create FirstCaribbean and four years later bought the British bank’s 44 percent stake for $988.7 million.

CIBC had faced woes in the

Caribbean during and after the 2008 financial crisis, with a series of profit declines and losses that forced it to take impairment charges in 2014 and reorganise the operations to get it on firmer financial footing.

FirstCaribbean has more than 2,700 staff at 57 branches in 16 regional markets, according to CIBC. The bank will record a loss of about $102 million from goodwill in the fourth quarter from the sale, though will see a multimillion dollar boost in foreign-currency gains and a 40 basis point improvement in its common equity tier 1 capital ratio when the deal closes in 2020.

The Bahamas branch of the international bank is the parent operating company for operations in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Efforts to reach Premier and Minister of Finance Sharlene Cartwright Robinson for a comment on the sale of the bank proved futile.

Defence maintains that SIPT trial is unmanageable

BY DELANA ISLES LAWYERS for former Government minister McAllister Hanchell have filed a new application to halt the proceedings involving the fraudaccused.

They have said they believe the sheer volume of the matters to be dealt with is likely to deny their client a fair trial.

The application, dated November 12, was filed on the grounds of an abuse of process by Jerome Lynch QC and Peter Melleney in another legal manoeuvre in the yearslong SIPT trial involving former premier Michael Misick and other members of his Cabinet.

According to the document seen by the Weekly News, they are seeking a stay of the indictment or to have it severed in the light of changed circumstances since the first application was made and rejected back in January.

The lawyers are using the oral submissions made in January to support the new effort.

Back then they had argued that the trial ought to be stayed as an abuse of process “as a fair trial was not possible in light of the length and unmanageability of the trial”.

They had also asked the court to sever certain counts from the indictment if it was unprepared to grant a stay, so that the defence could have a more manageable case.

The court had rejected those arguments ruling that in its view the trial could not be categorised as unmanageable notwithstanding its then threeyear duration.

After hearing and reviewing submissions, the court on July 29 rejected all submissions made on behalf of the defendants, finding a case to answer against each and every defendant, on every count they faced on the indictment.

In the latest submission, the lawyers stated that no one anticipated that the defence for any defendant would start until the end of October 2019 and as a result the court is asked to reconsider the earlier arguments.

“In particular, it is submitted that the combined effect of the length of the trial process taken together with the volume and scope of evidential material under consideration means that it is no longer possible for the defendants to receive a fair trial, and the indictment ought to be stayed as an abuse of process,” the application stated.

According to the application, “no steps have been taken by

either the prosecution or the court itself to ameliorate the manageability of the trial” since the January submission.

“The effect of the court’s rejection of both the earlier abuse of process submission and the submissions of no case to answer is that the defendants now face the invidious prospect of giving evidence to answer the three years of prosecution case including; 2,732 court exhibits, over 200 witnesses, and 11 development projects spanning a six-year indictment period over a year since the last witness gave evidence,” the document sets out.

Hanchell’s attorneys also noted that that any defendant who chooses to give evidence will be tasked with recalling events as far back as 16 years ago.

They also highlighted that the court will also have to assess oral evidence given since March 2016 with final rulings unlikely until sometime in 2021.

“It is our submission that this cannot be justice for these defendants and a fair trial is simply no longer possible in these circumstances, in line with the defendants’ rights under Article 6 of the Constitution.

“If the court is not of the opinion that the bar for an abuse of process has been met, it is submitted that the court ought to consider at this stage the exercise of its discretion for severance.

“Severance of some counts and some defendants would at least permit a more rational, limited, approach to the evidence that the defendants will have to meet,” the application concluded.

Judge Paul Harrison is currently considering the new application.

The conspiracy is alleged to have been between four members of the executive council during that time - Michael Misick, Floyd Hall, McAllister Hanchell and Jeffrey Hall - two attorneys - Thomas Chalmers Misick and Clayton Greene - and Lisa Hall, the wife of Floyd Hall.

The indictment includes an allegation of an overarching conspiracy to receive bribes between August 1, 2003, and August 31, 2009, during which time the political defendants held office.

The evidence relied on by the Crown comes from eight separate developments involving several individuals and companies, at different points during the sixyear period.

The indictments flowed from a Commission of Inquiry initiated by the British government in 2008.

SALE OF FIRSTCARIBBEAN SHARES GOES AHEAD IT HAS now been confirmed that the sale of a majority interest in CIBC’s FirstCaribbean bank has taken place.

As announced last Friday (November 8), the bank has reached an agreement to sell 66.73 percent of the shares to Colombian billionaire Jaime Gilinski of GNB Financial Group.

What are your thoughts?

Solutions must be found

Initial reports from CIBC officials indicate that “CIBC FirstCaribbean is a strong, well-performing business that continues to grow across the region”.

Their statements indicate that “it remains laser-focused on delivering on its strategy - providing its clients with first-class service through a modern, everyday banking experience and providing its employees with the best possible work experience”.

It is possible to state that FCIB needs to be more proactive in implementing this ideal.

If they are going to survive or be more efficient as a bank, they have a long way to go. Solutions must be found.

Complaints by members of the public entering banks in the TCI are that it is an entire day of frustration.

Long lines while tellers are allowed to take early breaks. Persons doing wire transfers and high-level transactions, huge deposits form the same long and endless lines out of the door.

With this new purchase, greater investment is needed in a proper bank centre so that there are more tellers and ATMs. If they would only invest in ATMs, without getting rid of existing staff, they would get more done, make more money and relieve the stress on the customer base.

Place more ATMs on Grand Turk, South Caicos, North Caicos, Middle Caicos and Providenciales.

No leverage

As the major players (countries) try to create a one world economy to extract every tax dollar from their people, there is no longer an advantage in taking in deposits to be held out of sight of their governments - the UK, USA, Canada and others.

Offshore Caribbean banks have lost their leverage.

Lips sealed

If you can’t say something nice, say nothing.

Poor service

The world is ever evolving and change inevitable.

I am only concerned that the level of service at all the Canadian owned banks in the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Caribbean is poor.

Banks need to bring back the ‘personal’ in banking. Yes, we embrace and welcome the digital and automated age, however this should not be at the cost of good customer service.

There ought to be a balance.

Why does it take so long to open a bank account?

Scotia, FirstCaribbean and Royal Bank of Canada service in this area is unacceptable.

I’m going to purchase some bank shares (they are publicity traded companies) so that our concerns are heard at the top.

RBC staff are, for the most part, great but their processes totally antiquated.

We need a solid credit union in this country that is owned and operated by citizens and residents of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

More to come

We need more details of this acquisition and we need to understand what the GNB Group intend with this purchase.

It would be better if your reporters could gather this information so we, the public, could then understand and voice our opinions. Hope to see more concrete information.

Money is the answer

This acquisition of the old Barclays is good news for a number of reasons,

especially because it is a billionaire, not a huge monolithic organisation, that has purchased the bank.

Being an individual he can direct new monies to the TCI, work strategic alliances with the Government, make greater investments, address some critical issues facing the bank’s customers and really create a mutually beneficial experience as he expands his presence into the English-speaking Caribbean.

With a $2 billion asset base, the possibilities are huge and positive for the region and the TCI. There is a critical need to break the mould in the TCI. It seems as if there is one set of monies for the outsiders and another set of rules so that TC Islanders are shut out of the money and investment markets.

This has to change and perhaps this new acquisition can be exploited to make serious changes. There has to be a greater way in the TCI to empower TC Islanders.

There is that feeling and experience that when it comes to access TC Islanders have a problem and are locked out.

Markets in advertising, clothing, sales, magazines, tourism related opportunities seem closed to the Islanders.

Well the answer to it is money as ‘money answerth all things’.

An initiative with the Government and Jaime Gilnski can assist in creating funds and investment vehicles for the benefit of Islanders.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answers everything. Eccl. 10.19.

Thousands of readers and online fans of the magazine voted for their favourites in 51 cruise-related categories.

The 2018 Tourism Statistics Report published last week said cruise ship arrivals accounted for the majority of the visitor population, and showed an increase of 23 percent.

“Therefore, it is important for us to focus on this sector and continuously enhance our product and the visitor’s experience in order to convert cruise passengers to stay over visitors.”

She said the award underscores the work that the Tourist Board has accomplished on marketing and positioning Grand Turk as a premier cruise destination.

Flow confirms termination of Shaun Malcolm’s ambassadorship

BY DELANA ISLES TELECOMS company Flow TCI has said the termination of its brand association with media personality Shaun Malcolm is to maintain a neutral position in the local political arena.

The statement from the company came on Thursday, following a request for comment on allegations made

by Malcolm - a PNP 2020 elections candidate - that his termination was as a result of direct pressure on the utility company by Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson.

While not directly denying this claim - which Malcolm had alleged he was told by the utility company came in the way of a letter of complaint from Cartwright Robinson - Flow said the decision “to end the relationship was based solely

on the publicly stated intention of Mr Malcolm to offer himself as a political candidate for public office”.

The company added: “Flow Turks and Caicos has always maintained a politically neutral position in the market and requires all ambassadors to separate their personal affiliations, whether political or otherwise, from their public personas.

“We wish to take this opportunity to thank Shaun for his invaluable service and representation of the brand over the past two years.”

The premier has denied that she abused the power of her office for any such purpose, and has called on both Malcolm and Flow to produce the letter she is alleged to have sent to the company complaining about Malcolm’s role as their brand ambassador while he is a candidate in the 2020 general elections.

PNP Deputy Leader denied as advisor in school science programme

BY DELANA ISLES E JAY Saunders, deputy leader of the Progressive National Party (PNP), has been blocked from advising the science team at Clement Howell High School (CHHS).

In a press statement issued on Tuesday (November 12), Saunders, who is also CEO of the artificial intelligence company DSS, raised concerns about the move.

He recalled that in October he was first approached by the school to bring remarks at the school’s Heritage Month celebrations which took place on November 4.

Following the speech, he said he conversed with teachers about his area of expertise - robotics and artificial intelligence - and was subsequently asked to speak with the school’s fourth form science team.

It was as a result of these interactions, which he said were all positively received, that he was asked to be an advisor to the school’s science team.

He said he was enthusiastic about the opportunity to engage young minds in robotics and artificial intelligence - and was already talking about a project to work on with the teenagers.

However, on November 12, he said he was contacted by one of the science teachers at CHHS, who told him the following: “Hi Mr Saunders, It is with deep regret that I am informing you that the science students of Clement Howell High School will not be able to work with

you on our science fair project.

“The Turks and Caicos Ordinance was brought to my attention yesterday by the Ministry of Education through the principal that we are not allowed to be affiliated with anyone of the opposing party when a current party is in power.

“Disappointed about this, but it is what it is.”

Saunders stated that at no point in time was his time at the school or intended advisorship intended to be political.

He expressed disappointment at the move to block him from helping to develop the young and hungry minds of the youths of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“All I will say is, whatever ordinance it is that allows persons to play petty politics with kids’ education, will be revoked on the PNP returning to power.

“Our kids deserve to live their best lives, and the PNP will create the opportunities for them to do so,” the deputy leader said.

NO SUCH ORDINANCE The Weekly News perused several volumes to ascertain which ordinance prohibits a public school from accepting the services of an Opposition candidate for office, and was unable to find any such law.

This publication then reached out to the legislative drafting department of the Attorney General’s Chambers to find out if any such law passed through their drafting department.

The senior legislative drafter

PNP Deputy Leader E Jay Saunders and teachers at the Clement Howell High School

within the department was unable to pinpoint an exact ordinance that dictates anything of that nature, and was highly sceptical that it even exists.

Similarly, the Integrity Commission was unable to provide any such law under the remit of its office that speaks to what was allegedly claimed by the Ministry of

Education to the CHHS teacher.

There is also no part of the Code of Conduct for Persons in Public Life that addresses this issue.

Richard Been, Deputy Director of the Integrity Commission, however told the Weekly News that persons who aspire to, or are running for political office, do have to be mindful of perception of their motives when

and where they offer their services during election season, particularly if those same services were not being offered prior to them seeking public office.

He contends that it is more a matter of how the person wishes their motives to be perceived than a set law that prevents them from offering their services to certain institutions.

Non-profit donates $3.5k in books to high school THE SANDALS Foundation has donated books, games and learning tools valued at more than $3,500 to Clement Howell High School for its library and resource centre.

The school plans to set up a student-run library system where they will index, categorise and loan books to their counterparts, thanks to Beaches and Sandals resorts’ charitable arm.

“This unique operation is hoped to engender greater buy in and responsibility in the care of the facility,” a press release from the foundation said on Wednesday (November 13).

Sandals partnered in the project with non-profit organisation ‘Hands Across the Sea’ which works in Eastern Caribbean territories to excite young readers and encourage more reading.

Heidi Clarke, executive director of Sandals Foundation, was on hand for the donation.

She said: “We are really pleased to see these libraries receive this incredible selection of books.

“We truly believe that with wellorganised libraries and exciting literature, more students will develop the love of reading which will provide them with the tools to succeed in all academic areas.”

The foundation also donated books to the school and the TCI Public Library following a book drive hosted by employees United States based automotive distributing company Tropicars.

Kadean Cunningham, principal of the Clement Howell High School, expressed gratitude for the continued support.

He said: “The students are very excited about this generous donation of books and are equally ecstatic to begin borrowing them to read.”

In 2018, the Sandals Foundation constructed the library and with the help of School Specialty Inc was

The occasion was memorialised in art through the creative expression of award-winning New York street

BY OLIVIA ROSE HEADS of government from across the Caribbean met in Barbados earlier this month to discuss strategies aimed at deepening economic integration in the region.

Premier and Minister of Finance Sharlene Cartwright Robinson joined her counterparts in Bridgetown, Barbados, for the forum on Wednesday, November 6.

The event was organised by the Government of Barbados, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

It brought together senior policymakers, public, private and multilateral development partners to explore avenues for regional transformation to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth.

Cartwright Robinson said the ‘Regional Transformation for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth’ meeting was an opportunity to connect and network with regional counterparts.

She said it enabled her to share information and pool resources that will assist the TCI in achieving its sustainable development goals.

“The Turks and Caicos Islands, being in an active disaster risk zone, must have a comprehensive disaster resilience strategy and mechanisms in place to ensure disaster resilience - we do and we have done so.

“My Government has been working to develop and improve upon our existing disaster resilience strategy one that takes into

consideration all sectors.

“This forum was a great experience for Turks and Caicos Islands,” the premier added.

Panel discussions were centred on leveraging institutional arrangements to boost regional integration, countries and developing partners working together to build structural, financial, and post-disaster resilience, and on taxation in the tourism sector and developing an appropriate approach to tax incentives.

Deeper economic integration within the Caribbean has been a regional policy priority since the establishment of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) in 1973.

The goal was to transform the region into a borderless community that pools resources and exploits opportunities that could not be achieved individually.

However, slow progress in institutional integration has hindered economic integration in the region, creating scepticism about the benefits of the full integration process, according to the IMF. The forum featured a high-level panel of leaders from the region who reflected on the challenges the Caribbean faces in a changing geopolitical environment.

During the summit, attendees explored whether and how progress in institutional integration - through harmonisation and rationalisation of institutions and greater cooperation in functional policy area - could provide the needed scale and boost to regional integration.

Many Caribbean countries face

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson joined her counterparts in Bridgetown, Barbados, for the forum

the challenge of how to maintain a competitive tax system, while also raising the revenue required to fund public spending.

A session was held to review the broad contours of tax policy for the Caribbean, with a focus on two issues that have proved especially challenging in the region: how to effectively and efficiently tax tourism, and the appropriate approach to investment tax incentives.

The sessions zeroed in on destination countries like the TCI. According to the IMF, tourism has different components that could be taxed, including the land and structures of resort properties, the wages of employees of tourism businesses, the profit of hotels and other businesses providing goods and services to tourists, the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the arrival of a tourist at a port or airport, and the importation of tourism-related goods and services.

Despite businesses’ demands for tax incentives, more important drivers of investment decisions include the availability and quality of workers, the legal and regulatory environment, infrastructure, and security or public safety.

Inside the Courts Two arrested for aggravated burglary on tourist A THIRTY-nine-year-old man and a 29-year-old man are currently in police custody assisting with investigations into an aggravated burglary committed on a tourist.

The first arrest was made on Sunday, November 10, one day after the incident took place at a hotel along Princess Drive in Grace Bay, Providenciales.

And the second arrest was made on Monday (November 11).

Reports are that on Saturday, November 9, shortly after 5am, a 62-year-old man was stabbed by a burglar who entered his hotel room.

The victim was taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries. He is listed as stable.

As is the norm in the territory now, several erroneous reports began circulating on social media about the incident, prompting the police to call on the public to desist from sharing false information.

“We are aware of some unhelpful misinformation in relation to this incident that is circulating through social media. The public is advised to refrain from sharing these falsehoods. This investigation is being classified as an aggravated burglary.”

They are asking anyone who may have any information into this crime to call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-8008477.

Employers face court for failing to pay national insurance BUSINESS owners appeared at Providenciales Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, November 7, to face charges relating to their failure to pay national insurance.

Defendant Rhynie Campbell appeared to answer to an application for judgement summons in the amount of $48,645.36.

The court ordered him to pay the National Insurance Board (NIB) monthly instalments of $1,000 beginning on November 28 and thereafter until the full debt is extinguished.

The matter was adjourned to Thursday, March 5, 2020 at 9am, pending payment.

Defendant Russel Garland appeared to answer to an application for judgement summons in the amount of $3,500.

The court ordered the defendant to pay to the NIB $3,500 in monthly instalments of $500 beginning November 28 and thereafter until the full debt is extinguished.

The matter was adjourned for Thursday, February 6, 2020 at 9am, pending payment.

Attorney John Ewing appeared on behalf of the NIB in these cases.

And finally, on Tuesday (November 12) regarding NIB v Ashwood Forbes on judgment summons in the amount of $5,552.69, the court heard that the NIB is requesting an adjournment in the matter.

The court then granted the adjournment for January 8, 2020, at 2pm for trial.

Live with confidence: a second recipe for success THE LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Psalms 27 1-3 One of the major stumbling blocks in some of our lives is that we lack confidence. Consequently, we are afraid to venture out and maximize our true calling.

Even though some of us are not afraid to venture out, we rely heavily on others to assist us.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting help as no man is an island but there are certain steps that you can do yourself without relying on others.

We rely a lot on others sometimes because we lack confidence. Some of us don’t even bother to get help because we believe we can’t.

We have the ‘I can’t’ mentality and so we live our life living in fear and just dream about what we want without pursuing it.

Rise up and take your position with confidence knowing that Lord is your light and salvation.

How can you live with confidence? Based on my personal experiences, here are some steps that you can follow so that you can live with confidence.

HAVE FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD One of the main reasons we do not live with confidence is the fact that we lack faith. One way to develop your faith is to put your trust in the Lord.

If you trust in the Lord, then you would believe that the Lord is your strength, the Lord is your salvation and the Lord is your light.

If you truly believe these attributes about the Lord, you should not be afraid. You will not fear evil, you will not fear anyone, you will not fear your enemies and you will not be fearful of failure.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Don’t get caught up in what society dictates what success is. Don’t get caught up in your personal appearances.

Don t get caught up in your family background. Don’t try to be like someone else. Be you.

Believe in yourself. Believe that you can do what you were called to do. Don’t believe the negativity what

other people think about you. You know who you are.

You know your strengths and you know what you were called for.

However, equip yourself with all of the knowledge and tools you need so that you can live with confidence.

DO NOT WORRY If you want to live in confidence, you need not worry about anything.

You will face some setbacks and rejections but do not worry about them. Look at them as opportunities.

Furthermore, the word of the Lord tells us not to worry about our life. If you worry, you will end up becoming afraid and then you will lack faith and then you will not trust in the Lord nor believe in yourself.

When you find yourself beginning to worry, remind yourself that

worrying will not solve anything. The best thing to do is be at peace and if you are, you can live with confidence.

BE BOLD AND BE STRONG Joshua 1:9 stated: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Remember that God is always

with you so be bold and be strong as you get up each day to face this chaotic world. Remember God is also your shepherd.

If you are bold and strong, you can take risks. As I learned in Economics 101: “The greater the risks, the greater the reward.”

CONCLUSION Living with confidence is a major struggle especially in the midst of so much uncertainty. The key element is not to be afraid of anyone or anything.

If you have faith, then you will trust in the Lord, you will believe in yourself, you will not worry and you will be bold and strong to walk with confidence in your path.

However, I caution you, as you live with confidence do so with humility. Do not be arrogant or act superior to others.

COMMENTARY

Welcome to the world, David Alexander A FEW evenings ago we got the word - David Alexander had arrived, all five and a half pounds of him.

He is my second step grandchild. Elijah, the first, has been and will continue to be a precious joy.

However, when I learned that this new child was to carry my name through his life my head swelled up and I could not get it through the doorway.

My partner in namesakes, granddad Alexander, was once well known in Grand Turk.

My daughter has four sons, my senior son and daughter each have a daughter, and my youngest son has both a son and daughter.

Therefore, there have been many special children to celebrate over the years.

While no one can predict what

the future holds, this 83-year-old now spends much of his time taking stock.

I have been fighting a slow-moving incurable liver cancer for some time now. We recently were notified that special injections insurance was covering for years would no longer be provided. So much for the USA politicians’ promises.

In Canada where two of my children live with grandchildren, one an adult, all have all medical services

provided free.

The USA lawyer politicians have made the USA system complicated.

In the States, social security deducts a big chunk of your weekly salary from your pay cheque and employer’s kitty.

After you and employers pay this heavy fee for 50 years you begin to collect a pension.

However, you must first surrender a big chunk of your pension to Medicare, senior health care.

Medicare or a private insurance carrier acting for them, pay the doctors and hospitals.

I spent one night in a Fort Lauderdale hospital recently and insurance shelled out $25,000 - an exorbitant fee.

I had to fight to get out of that place. At those rates, they preferred to keep me forever.

During my working life, my employer provided first class medical insurance, Blue Cross, Blue Shield I paid nothing. All my children were born and attended to under that system.

However, the government wants access to large funds of money for the lawyer-politicians to weasel it away. Lawyers and politicians live off the ‘little people’ - ask Mike or Washy.

Our concern for political abuse is not personal. I will probably get by better finding some new or non-

prescription treatment.

Concern is for David Alexander and his peers. He is starting from scratch and will believe the mess the US system is in is normal.

It is an unfortunate mess. In fact, with the USA government’s lawyers involved in everything from healthcare to bread wrappers, nothing is improving.

I can’t believe that in my lifetime the medical industry went from saving lives to late term and post term abortion.

Killing babies.

No wonder a rude ornery politician like Trump got himself elected.

Thank you Lord for David Alexander Moore, Elijah and all the grandchildren of our family.

May they be blessed in accord with the love of their family.

THE VIEW FROM EUROPE

Time to transform the CSME and Caricom

IN THE last few days Barbados’ prime minister Mia Mottley has reiterated her belief that to progress the region must make the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) fit for purpose.

Ms Motley suggested that if the region is not to be marginalised, Caricom’s governance structure needs to change, more frequent meetings of Caricom heads and ministerial sub-committees should be held to speed up the pace of implementation, and her fellow leaders should in this respect consider following the lead of European heads of government.

She also encouraged the private sector to play a much greater and more active role in regional decision making, planning and implementation.

Days earlier, the president of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Dr Warren Smith, had said something similar, albeit in the context of the international business and financial services sector.

A coordinated regional approach was required, he said, if the region was to reap the full benefits of its financial services sector.

His remarks were critical of Caribbean states that had not stayed on message when it came to agreed political responses to European and US criticism of the region’s anti-money laundering measures and its citizenship by investment programmes.

The Caribbean was being portrayed as a ‘high-risk’ environment, he observed, but some nations “still seem undergirded by individual and reactionary responses to what essentially is a regional threat”.

The region, he argued, should be less defensive and focus more on policies that are strategic, long term and sustainable.

CDB’s president also called for the region’s private sector to play a greater role in leading research, shaping regulatory codes, rules and operating procedures and advising on policy coordination and the mitigation of threats.

Both prime minister Mottley and Dr Smith in different ways were making the point that the Anglophone part of the region cannot hope to succeed economically without a genuine commitment to unity, implementing a common regulatory environment, and the private sector playing a more central role.

Unfortunately, this is easier to say than achieve. Despite the

unassailable logic of governments delivering what they have agreed politically, national interests and economics may no longer make regional unity, rapid results, or a fully functioning CSME achievable.

Despite years of regional meetings, consultations, debate, and exhortation, Caricom remains as weak as its least engaged member states.

Moreover, the Anglophone Caribbean has yet to reconcile its understandably deep attachment to regionalism and identity with the much harder edged pragmatism, compromise and trust required to deliver viable trade and economic solutions.

Put more prosaically, governments are now less willing to cede sovereignty, trust each other, or grant Caricom or its institutions even a modicum of executive power, while much of the private sector is happy anyway to operate profitably, if not optimally.

In contrast, although Europe’s far from perfect values-based integration model is heavy, bureaucratic, expensive and wasteful, all European governments and their private sectors know, whether they like it or not, failure to engage fully in policy development and its formulation results in enforceable regulations that may damage their national or corporate bottom line.

Why European heads of government are prepared to meet relatively frequently and Europe’s subsidiary ministerial councils function well, is because many years ago Europe’s governments ceded both by Treaty and in their domestic laws, a high degree of decision taking and implementing powers to the European Commission, Europe’s permanent executive arm.

It is this, plus a web of management and oversight involving politically appointed commissioners and vice presidents, the European parliament, and paid-up national budgetary commitments, which have enabled delivery, and the EU to become one of the world’s economic powerhouses.

In comparison, the CSME remains imperfect when it comes to delivery.

It functioning continues to beg many questions. For example, why should youth care about regionalism when despite their willingness to embrace their Caribbean identity they continue face difficulties in freely transporting their skills and talents across the region?

Why should anyone worry about the common external tariff when tariffs on imported sugar are waived to support food and soft drink manufacturers?

And why, over a year after it was agreed to, no results-based management report as required by heads has yet emerged from the Caricom secretariat?

All too often decisions are set

aside or ignored in the face of national self-interest, inter-island rivalry and historic resentments: traits not helped by the absence of a single strong well-led and funded regional single private sector organisation capable of influencing the delivery of outcomes that benefit the region as a whole.

To make matters worse regional integration scarcely touches civil society and makes little difference to most Caribbean companies which remain insular and tied to their domestic markets.

Ms Motley’s analysis and her continuing commitment to vigorously engage her fellow heads on what is required to make the CSME work is important as is her previously stated belief that the regional integration process must make “a definable difference” and be citizen centric.

However, it is hard to imagine how this is to be achieved without a fundamental structural change in the nature of regional governance or the willingness to cede economic

sovereignty.

It may also require a fundamental change in the way the region thinks about itself.

If the modern Caribbean is fundamentally a cultural construct based on shared historic experience translated into a consensus on post emancipation, post-colonial and post-independence objectives, this may not be enough to fulfil the needs of economic development in a rapidly changing would.

Unless such commonality of purpose can be transformed into institutions able to deliver economic integration in a manner that is rules based, adhered to by all, but flexible and pragmatic, it is hard to escape the conclusion that Caribbean unity will remain fragile.

These of course are matters that only the Caribbean people and their elected leaders can resolve.

But one fervently hopes the Caribbean as a region can respond to Dr Smith and prime minister Mottley’s challenge to deliver a more unified and bright future.

Accountant General’s Department welcomes new manager THE NEWLY appointed financial manager within the Accountant General’s Department said she is “ecstatic and humble” to take on the role.

Amilo Williams-Forbes has been a public servant since 1998 when she joined as an assistant customs officer within the Customs Department.

The education challenge

EDUCATION is transformation.

It is creative and innovative thinking which provides new perspectives and different angles to issues or positions being contemplated.

Education is also about being moral, fair and just in our dealings with others. It is an incremental unravelling of what is, to achieve what it could be.

We tend to use the concept education in a very narrow sense, by seeing it as schooling, acquiring qualifications or providing specific skills to function in the practical areas.

These are aspects of education, since education deals with integration and wholeness. And this is one of the main challenges education faces: integration versus fragmentation.

Some educators confuse aspects with comprehensive knowledge. For example, an individual might read for a general degree.

But what really is involved here, are a number of different subject areas with no specialisation.

Each subject making up the degree is different. When this individual wants to pursue

BY OLIVER MILLS

Oliver Mills is a former lecturer in education at the UWI Mona Campus. He holds a BA (Hons.) UWI, an M.Ed. Dalhousie Univ., an MA University of London, and a Postgraduate Diploma in HRM and Training, Leicester Univ.

further studies, he or she might be told that there is no specialty area, normally consisting of four subjects concentrated in the area the individual wants to pursue further.

This person might have to do additional ‘make up’ courses to meet the requirements. This means spending extra time and resources.

Sometimes the individual might be required to do a ‘full degree over’, since many institutions have different requirements.

What education is and its challenges then come to the forefront.

It means institutions as providers of education must be aware of the policies of other providers so as not to cause problems later on for their clients.

Normally, many persons do not see

education as a tool of transformation, making things different and better.

But this is really its nature.

Through innovative thinking, greater improvements result, making life more convenient and richer. The new developments in technology testify to this.

Improvement to better healthcare and what we eat, giving us a longer life, are also the result of the impact of education in a wider, practical sense.

Educational research makes goods and services available which could not be contemplated without it.

Here education has a practical, transformative function which goes beyond mere schooling. Its challenge is to create awareness of this goal.

Attending an institution for the

purpose of acquiring an education is one thing. Using education to institute changes is realising its purpose.

The challenge of education then is to make this purpose clear to its clients and to create the relevant programmes to reflect this.

Education therefore involves both learning and doing, as well as imparting skills and knowledge to enable individuals to transfer these to practical situations, and to make transitions from one function to the other.

When education provides different angles to what is being discussed, it means it is not a stagnant enterprise.

It poses new questions, provides new and different answers, and this enables persons to use their creativity and problem solving skills to draw conclusions from the different positions, and choose the most appropriate and reasonable solution to the issues being discussed.

The education challenge is therefore to make its practice relevant, even in contradictory situations.

Being moral, fair and just is a fundamental challenge education

faces. This is because the onus is not only on education but also its subscribers.

Many of the latter tend to see education as being for the elite few and not the preserve of the many.

Education then becomes a tool to facilitate the dominance of the few over the many by denying opportunities through the use of various strategies.

Even education itself in the strict sense through its requirements tends to, not in a deliberate way, place barriers to some sectors of society seeking to benefit from it.

But this is because the elites control it and decide who gains entry.

We then find that the moral, just and fair basis on which education stands are undermined, not by education itself, but by the gatekeepers of society.

The challenge of education then is to democratise the mindsets of the gatekeepers, show how everyone benefits from being exposed to it, and demonstrate its contribution to the social, political, economic, technological and cultural areas of life.

Graceway supermarkets to charge for paper bags All money to go to local charities FROM next month Graceway supermarkets will introduce a ‘Blue Ocean Fee’ of five to 10 cents for paper bags at checkouts in Providenciales and Grand Turk.

The cash raised will be used exclusively for charity projects within the TCI under Graceway’s charitable umbrella Graceway Communities.

Ken Burns, managing director of Graceway Supermarkets, said: “A lot of thought went into the decision to charge for paper and in the end, we asked ourselves, what’s the right thing to do for the TCI and for the planet, and what do we want to achieve?

“The answer was we that wanted to change our relationship with single-use bags and the ultimate goal is to get rid of them altogether.

“The fact is that a single-use paper bag is just as bad as a single use plastic bag and unless we start to reuse what we have, we haven’t made a difference.

“That’s what this is about, making

a difference.”

The fee will be charged from December 9 in an effort to make shoppers reconsider their shopping habits and bring their own bags, a company press release said.

The movement away from single-use bags began in April this year when Graceway phased out plastic bags and focused customers’ attention on re-using their bags when they shop.

The company also introduced a ‘Staying Blue’ token campaign which allowed customers to vote for their favourite charitable project within the Graceway Communitie.

The SNAP Centre playground restoration received the most votes in August and Graceway Communities expects to unveil the new playground early next year.

Currently, there are three charities which customers can vote for with their tokens to receive cash donations from Graceway Communities with over $4,000 pledged so far.

This next phase in December will see the Blue Ocean Fee implemented and more money invested into the charitable projects.

Edith Cox of Graceway Supermarkets said: “We’re really proud of our charitable work.

“Graceway has been supporting local communities in the TCI for over 20 years and we currently support over 75 percent of the local churches, schools and charities around the country.

“It’s important to us that we can involve the people of the TCI in what we do and the token scheme has been really well received.”

To coincide with the Blue Ocean Fee, Graceway has designed its new ‘Island Bag’ as an affordable reusable bag.

Island Bags are available two for $3 at Graceway Supermarkets. New designs celebrating the TCI will be rolled out in 2020.

Cox said: “We are happy to be a pioneer in this move to reduce our reliance on single-use items in

Graceway has designed a new ‘Island Bag’ as an affordable reusable bag

general, including bags.

“We’re happy to report that the local community has embraced our campaign and we have saved over 1.8 million single-use bags so far.

“It’s now important for us to take this next step because a different kind

of single-use bag is not the answer and we need to work together for our Islands.”

It is estimated that at current rates the TCI goes through more than 450,000 pounds of paper bags per year.

Local leaders brainstorm on future economic development

BY OLIVIA ROSE KEY members of the TCI’s public and private sectors met to discuss the future of the financial services industry during the second annual Economic Conference last week.

The one-day national conference coordinated by InvestTCI brought scores of interested people to Beaches Resort and Spa in Providenciales.

The seminar was held on Friday, November 8, and hosted under the theme, ‘Financial services - Building block of a strong, diversified economy’.

During sessions, members of the private sector including bankers, lawyers, company managers, accountants, and Government

officials debated various topics, ideas and strategies focused on the growth of the financial services sector.

The keynote address of the conference was delivered by international speaker Lorna Smith, former executive director of BVI Finance and founder and chief executive officer of LGS and Associates Premier and Minister of Finance Sharlene Cartwright Robinson also brought remarks at the conference and zeroed-in on the Government’s role in fostering a successful industry.

She outlined ongoing initiatives and commitments already made by the Government to strengthen the sector.

“We see the financial services sector as an integral part of the

country’s economic advancement,” she said, “where businesses and industries continually feed off of one another, growing larger and larger as the economy grows.

“It is a critical component of a diversified economy; creating a sustainable cycle of overall economic activity.”

She stressed that an effective and efficient partnership between the financial services sector, public and private sector entities is vital to the expansion of the TCI’s economy.

“The TCI has experienced a real GDP growth rate of 2.5 percent in 2018 and is expected to see a 3.2 percent growth rate in 2019.

“These targets are being achieved in the wake of two major storms in 2017.

“Economic growth, for the most part, has been carried by the tourism and hospitality sector for the past 30 plus years.”

Cartwright Robinson underscored the importance of a diverse financial system.

She said: “We are ever mindful that a country’s economic health should never be tied to a single industry or market sector.

“This conference is an important platform that gathered leading industry players in the financial services sector, the Government and its ministries, departments and agencies, as well as other service providers in the various sectors of the economy.

“We are able to share, learn and collaborate toward the enhancement

and advancement of the financial services ecosystem of the TCI, and to ensure that it is one that engenders growth,” the premier added.

In 2018, a Government report prepared by an international consultancy team concluded that the TCI needed to diversify its economy and create more good quality professional employment opportunities for its citizens.

The report also recommended a need for substantial investment in the TCI’s financial services industry, and highlighted how easily the territory could lose what little it has.

Following the report, the Government took several steps in keeping with the recommendations of the study.

Healthcare workers learn about medication resistant microbes MORE than 50 healthcare practitioners took part in a workshop on antimicrobial resistance and infectious diseases this Autumn.

The first Antimicrobial Stewardship Workshop was held on October 8 at Cockburn Town Medical Centre and October 10 at Cheshire Hall Medical Centre.

Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe, a TCI Hospital press release said on October 23.

Isha Honore, quality, risk and patient safety manager with responsibility for the Infection Prevention and Control Department, said the workshop was “very

successful” and marks a “significant milestone” for TCI Hospital.

“The success of the antimicrobial stewardship programme calls for unity and collaboration of all stakeholders.

“This workshop helps to start the necessary conversations that further drive programs and practice interventions that promote patient safety education.”

Dr Corey Forde, infectious disease, infection prevention and control, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship consultant of Barbados, was the guest presenter.

He gave a presentation on notifiable disease reporting, surveillance and the effective implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship programme.

Healthcare practitioners during the workshop on antimicrobial stewardship

Other presenters included a medical doctor, laboratory technologist, pharmacy manager and nurse educator employed at TCI Hospital.

Topics examined included drug preparation and therapeutic drug monitoring, antibiotic resistance patterns in the TCI, antimicrobial strategies for nurses, doctors and

sampling techniques.

Real case scenarios were provided for attendees to complete prescription writing using antimicrobial stewardship guidelines.

From Flanders Fields to a Salt Cay cork tree Remembrance Sunday service, Salt Cay style

IN THE churchyard of the Church of God of Prophecy, in Salt Cay’s North District, there stands a cork tree.

On a normal day the tree is impressive in its own right, as it stands out among the flora of Salt Cay, for its size and strength.

The shade it provides offers a welcome relief from the sun, especially on a sweltering Sunday afternoon after the service.

So, it seemed only appropriate that on this past Sunday, November 10, Salt Cay’s Remembrance Sunday service was held under the mighty cork tree.

And as the masses braced the London cold or watched on television the assembled dignitaries laying wreaths at the cenotaph, including for the first time ever representatives of the overseas territories, and more elaborate services were conducted on Grand Turk and Providenciales, the Salt Cay Remembrance Sunday service featured a portable, handmade, timber cenotaph and beautifully homemade wreaths.

Prayers were said, scriptures read, hymns sung and finally John

McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ was recited: In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw

Salt Cay’s Remembrance Sunday service was held under the mighty cork tree

The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

As the service drew to a close, after a fitting tribute to the war veterans of the Turks and Caicos Islands, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of profound gratitude to have

witnessed this event, right here in Salt Cay. For not only had this little island proven once again that, despite its small size and a population of approximately 60 permanent residents, it will continue to honour its traditions and do so proudly and with dignity.

But on a more general note, you might say philosophical, I reflected on

the sentiment that was shared by the assembled community that morning: How blessed are we, who live in peace and harmony on this ‘little rock’, Salt Cay, when around the globe there are still millions of people suffering from the effects of war and conflict.

A blessing we should remind ourselves of, every day.

Hundreds gather to thank servicemen and women ARMED personnel were remembered throughout the TCI on Sunday (November 10) for their commitment to the Crown during two world wars and subsequent conflicts.

Remembrance Day services were held in Providenciales, Grand Turk, South Caicos and Salt Cay to thank the British, allied and Commonwealth forces.

And this year history was made as

overseas territories were able to lay individual wreaths on the Cenotaph in London, England, during Remembrance Day services for the first time.

Anthony Webber, former member

Tracy Knight of the Office of the Premier, London Office, laid a wreath on behalf of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

In Grand Turk, a Remembrance Day service was held at St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, Front Street, at 9.45am.

Acting Governor Anya Williams laid a wreath at the war memorial, along with Deputy Speaker Hon. Derek Taylor and Minister of Health, Hon. Edwin Astwood.

The sole surviving member of the Ex Servicemen’s Legion, James ‘Bobby’ Fulford, was thanked for his services.

Immediately following the service, all uniform groups attended an ecumenical service at the Methodist Church.

The Providenciales Remembrance Day service was held at St Monica’s Anglican Church on Leeward Highway at 12.30pm.

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson, Minister of Education, Hon. Karen Malcolm, Leader of the Opposition Washington

Misick and Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting laid wreaths at this service.

“On this Remembrance Day, we pause to remember and salute those brave soldiers who fought in World Wars I and II,” the premier said.

And in South Caicos, the Remembrance Day service was held at St George’s Anglican Church at 12.30pm.

Organisations also laying wreaths included the TCI ExServicemen’s Legion, TCIG Medical Department, the Scouts, Guides and Brownies, Rotary

International, Soroptimists International and the Red Cross.

In a press release on November 1, Governor Nigel Dakin said: “On this Remembrance Sunday we come together to remember all those who served in our armed forces or in other public services, military or civilian, in defence of our liberty.

“We remember those who have also experienced the horror of war and who suffered injuries in war and internal conflict, many of whom have had to live with life changing injuries some physical, some psychological.

“For the first year, this year, representatives of the Turks and Caicos Islands will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of this territory at the cenotaph in London, as part of the United Kingdom’s national remembrance parade.

“On this Remembrance Sunday, both here in Turks and Caicos, and through our representatives in London, we have the opportunity to express our thanks to all of those men and women for the service, courage and sacrifice shown by them all.

“They were, and they are, inspirational.”

Geography students at DDME’s GIS exhibition at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex

Pupils learn about geographic information systems

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson with former German honorary consul Titus de Boer

Germany to strengthen ties with the TCI THE GERMAN Ambassador to Jamaica will be making an official visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands in early 2020 to strengthen relations between the nations.

Dr Bernd von Münchow-Pohl reached out to former German honorary consul Titus de Boer earlier this year to discuss establishing closer ties between Germany and the TCI. In a press release on Wednesday (November 13), De Boer, who served as honorary consul from 2007 to 2013, said an ambassadorial visit is long overdue.

Not only will it strengthen political and cultural ties, he said, but also because “in this year alone we have seen increased interest by German companies in the TCI”.

“Companies whose expertise ranges from the telecom and energy sectors, to tourism,” he added.

De Boer said he hopes the ambassador’s visit will coincide

with the ground-breaking ceremony for an upcoming German-financed project.

Dr Von Münchow-Pohl was posted to Jamaica as chargé d’affaires from 1997 to 2001.

He was then appointed German Ambassador to Jamaica in September 2018 and operates from the German Embassy in Kingston.

According to the press release, he named De Boer as embassy liaison for the TCI recognising his “long standing relationship with the embassy and decades long efforts to strengthen ties between the two countries”.

In October, the Paradise Park Solar Farm, largest solar energy installation in the English-speaking Caribbean, was unveiled by Jamaican prime minister Andrew Holness.

While its majority owner is a French renewable energy operator, the Hamburg-based MPC Capital is the second largest shareholder.

GEOGRAPHY students from high schools across the TCI recently learned about the use of location data and evolving geospatial technology.

The Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies (DDME) held an exhibition at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex on Wednesday (November 13) in observance of World Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day. GIS Day is an opportunity for all GIS enthusiasts, hobbyists, professionals, researchers, students and those in applied sectors to commemorate the legacy and utility of a system that has redefined the way people interact with the world.

Since 1999, GIS Day has been a worldwide event that celebrates the technology of GIS and serves as an opportunity for professionals to come together to showcase their work.

It also serves as a mechanism

to ignite the imagination of future innovators who will further advance global progress using GIS. Director of DDME Dr Virginia Clerveaux highlighted the importance of geospatial technology for countries like the TCI. She said: “In recent years, the DDME has shown innovative applications of GIS technology in analysis, visualisation, coordination, and planning for disaster risk reduction.

“One such example of this was the application of GIS to carry out risk and vulnerability assessments to support decision making during response and recovery operations for hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.

“In addition to this, the department also aims to inspire others learn about geography and the real-world applications of GIS that are making a difference in our society.”

US election 2020: Deval Patrick announces presidential bid DEVAL Patrick has become the latest US Democrat to join the crowded race for the 2020 presidential election.

The two-time former governor of Massachusetts announced his candidacy on Thursday.

He joins 17 other Democrats still in the race, including former Vice President Joe Biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

His run starts just three months before the first votes are cast in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.

Mr Patrick launched his campaign in an online video, saying the election was about more than President Donald

Trump: “This time is about more than removing an unpopular and divisive leader - as important as that is - but about delivering instead for you.”

Serving from 2007-2015, Mr Patrick, 63, made history as the first black governor of Massachusetts and one of the first in any US state.

Most recently he was a managing director for private equity firm Bain Capital.

Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyses spatial location and organises layers of information into visualisations using maps and 3D scenes.

Sir Edward Zacca, former president of the Court of Appeal

Former appellate court president Sir Edward Zacca passes away

BY DELANA ISLES SIR Edward Zacca passed away following a short illness on Tuesday (November 12), aged 88.

Sir Edward, the former president of the Court of Appeal that served several Caribbean countries including the Turks and Caicos Islands, was an esteemed Jamaican jurist.

The Royal Gazette in Bermuda reported this week that Zacca passed away at his home.

Sir Edward was born in St Andrew, Jamaica, in July 1931. He was educated at Kingston College and Called to the Bar at Middle Temple in February 1954.

After a spell in private practice in Jamaica, he was appointed as clerk of courts in 1958.

Two years later, he was appointed resident magistrate, and eight years after that he became a puisne judge before his appointment as judge of appeal in 1975.

Sir Edward became chief justice of Jamaica in July, 1985, and six years later he was made acting governor-general. In 1992, he was

appointed to the Privy Council.

Sir Edward was appointed as justice of appeal of the Court of Appeal for Bermuda in 1996, and served as president from January 2004 to the end of 2014.

More recently, he served in the Courts of Appeal in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas.

He was knighted in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours for his service to the overseas territories.

The Gleaner in Jamaica reported that a minute of silence was observed in Sir Edward’s honour yesterday at the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

Paula Llewellyn, the director of public prosecutions in Jamaica, told The Gleaner: “I’m almost speechless.

“He was such a pleasant, urbane and courteous individual who was committed to service throughout the region. He will be remembered as one of the great judicial officers.”

Sir Edward is survived by his wife Hope Margaret and his children Christopher, Edward Junior and Karen.

Mexican butterfly weed HAVE you noticed this small bush with orange flowers? It’s probably a Mexican butterfly weed (Asclepias curassavica), not a native to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Additional common names for this plant include tropical milkweed, scarlet milkweed, swallow wort, Indian root and matal. Asklepios is the Greek god of healing.

Mexican butterfly weed is widely popular in butterfly gardens.

Growing as a naturalised perennial plant in the Islands, it can also be easily started from seeds.

A South American native, it grows 30 to 36 inches high and produces clusters of bright yellow or yellow-orange bi-coloured flowers blooming over a wide range of months.

Flowers are followed by long, narrow seed pods (three to four inches long) which split open when ripe releasing silky tailed seeds for dispersal by the wind.

It grows best in light, rich, evenly moist, well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates some light shade and tolerates some soil dryness.

Many sources claim that Mexican butterfly weed is the preferred milkweed for monarch caterpillars due to its tender leaves.

Whether or not this is true, it is certain that it is a popular as both a caterpillar food plant and butterfly nectar plant. Hummingbirds and bees are also attracted to the flowers.

It has no serious insect or disease problems. It is somewhat weedy but not invasive, and can spread where it will self-seed.

The one problem that plagues the appearance of tropical milkweed in the garden are aphids.

Aphid control on plants may be as simple as spraying the plants with a burst of water from the hose which will dislodge the aphids - and which will have to be repeated all the time.

Generally, aphid infestations are a bit unsightly but do not impair blooming or plant growth.

A second problem that can impact the appearance of Mexican butterfly weed is a result of the severe defoliation caused by monarch and/or queen caterpillars.

This problem of course has the trade-off of providing great caterpillar watching while helping to produce

more butterflies.

Once the plants are defoliated or the caterpillars have moved on, it is a simple matter of cutting back the tropical milkweed, which will re-sprout from the plant’s base.

Regrowth is fairly fast and the plant will re-bloom.

Milkweed can also be beneficial to nearby plants, repelling some pests, especially wireworms.

Milkweed also contains cardiac glycoside poisons which inhibit animal cells, as a result many natives of South America and Africa used arrows poisoned with these glycosides to fight and hunt more effectively.

Milkweed also causes mild dermatitis in some who come in contact with it so consider wearing gloves when working with these plants.

So, if you see this plant in the garden with pretty orange flowers, you can just leave it where it is and enjoy butterflies in your garden.

Regional News Zero new confirmed cholera cases in Haiti for nine months: UN envoy

Premier Alden McLaughlin and UK Overseas Territories Minister Lord Tariq Ahmad.

UK agrees to give more power to the Cayman Islands THE UK has agreed to constitutional changes that will give the Cayman Islands greater autonomy for internal affairs and an increased level of insulation, according to Premier Alden McLaughlin.

Uppermost in the changes is a provision for mandatory consultation with the Cayman Islands government before instituting any legislation impacting local shores.

McLaughlin, speaking in the Legislative Assembly Wednesday afternoon, described the change as an “incredible” concession.

This concession, he said, was made in a letter he received on Monday from UK Overseas Territories Minister Lord Tariq Ahmad.

Both the letter and the UK’s draft Order in Council for the changes were laid before the Legislative Assembly.

“What it does, for first time, if we agree to it, is to put into the Cayman

Islands Constitution a provision that appears in no other constitution of any other overseas territory, a mandatory provision that before the UK government or parliament may legislate for us that, at a minimum, they have to consult with the premier, and the Cabinet has to signify its view on the proposal,” he said.

However, he hastened to add that the UK still retained its ultimate power.

He said this provision not only buys the Cayman Islands time, but it allows lawmakers the opportunity for broader consultations on legislation at Whitehall and Westminster in the UK. “So, we do not wind up with situations as has occurred where parliament has on a whim amended legislation progressing through the house and effectively intervenes in domestic matters in the Cayman Islands and legislate for us,” the premier said.

ALTHOUGH Haiti is in the “homestretch” of defeating a cholera outbreak first declared nine years ago, the battle is far from over before the country is free of the deadly disease.

That’s according to UN Special Envoy Josette Sheeran, writing in an op-ed published in The Miami Herald last week, who reported that there have been no laboratory-confirmed cases of cholera in the entire country for the past nine months.

She said the “momentous achievement” was the result of an innovative strategic partnership between the Government, the UN and key stakeholders. Furthermore, it took place during a time of multiple national crises, supply chain breakdowns, and while the UN presence there was in transition.

UN should have responded ‘more effectively’ “When UN Secretary-General António Guterres took office in 2017, he lamented that the United Nations, which has apologized for its role in the epidemic, simply did not do enough at the onset of the crisis and should have responded more effectively and quickly. We have since worked overtime to be the full partners that Haiti has deserved,” she wrote.

Ms. Sheeran said the UN and its partners worked side-by-side with the Haitian authorities to develop a unified approach and financial strategy against cholera, with more than $700 million invested since 2010.

The partnership helped enact several innovative approaches that led to the milestone of zero cases

Thousands of Haitians have died from the disease, since an outbreak started in 2010.

reported.

“The first was achieving unified buy-in on a detailed comprehensive three-year strategy to end the epidemic signed by the prime minister and myself with the backing of a full range of implementers, experts and stakeholders”, Ms. Sheeran revealed.

“Such a plan is often missing in tackling epidemics, but I found it vital that all involved follow the same battle plan.”

Haiti lacks adequate healthcare infrastructure and rapid response teams were deployed to all affected areas to identify, decontaminate, treat and contain cholera cases.

Staffed entirely by Haitians, they “stopped the lion’s share of transmissions and deaths,” according to Ms. Sheehan.

Effective model for future

epidemics “They demonstrated that cholera can be brought under control by intervening directly through an effective alert-response system at the community level. I believe this model can be effective in other epidemics throughout the world,” she added.

The Ministry of Health also worked with UN agencies to create an effective surveillance network.

National laboratory capacity as well as specimen transport capacity have improved so that up to 98% of suspected cases, and a significant number of non-suspected cases, are now tested.

The UN envoy urged the international community to continue working towards a cholera-free Haiti. With a roughly $20 million funding gap through 2022, there is no time to rest.

Haiti anti-government protests lose momentum ONLY a few hundred people responded to the opposition’s call Sunday to protest in the streets of Haiti’s capital to continue pressuring President Jovenel Moise to step down.

On previous Sundays, tens of thousands have filled Port-au-Prince streets from morning to sundown.

Have the protests lost momentum?

VOA Creole put the question to opposition leaders marching on Sunday.

Sen. Ricard Pierre said he thinks bribes and fear were partly to blame for the small crowd.

“A significant number of Bel Air residents have died — an area that heavily supports the efforts of the Alternative (opposition group).

We have people hiding out in the poor neighborhoods because the government has threatened to kill

them,” the senator told VOA Creole.

“There have been efforts to distribute weapons to residents of the slums.

They’ve been offered money, offered food. But despite the massacres endured by the poor people, there

are some of them in the streets today fighting (for a better life).”

VOA could not confirm the senator’s allegations.

Downtown, evangelical pastor Prophete Mackenson Dorilas, who, perched atop a carnival-style truck had been surrounded by thousands of followers during October protests, was seen marching in the street with only a handful of protesters. He blamed fear and the absence of his truck for the low turnout.

“The first truck we were offered, I turned down because it wasn’t what I requested. So, they said they would bring me another truck, and I’m still waiting. Some members of my church had intended to join the protest, but they heard the police was targeting protesters, so they ran away,” Dorilas told VOA Creole, adding that the people also need

motivation.

“The churchgoers don’t like to see me walking on the street. They like to see me up high,” he said.

Also marching with about a dozen protesters was former Haitian Army Col. Himmler Rebu, who described his participation as the right thing to do.

“There are two efforts happening simultaneously. There are those (members of the opposition) who are in offices working on plans and strategy, and there are those who are accompanying the people marching in the streets. So today, that’s my job, “ he said.

Early Sunday, tires were seen burning in the middle of a main road in the northern city of Cape Haitian.

There were also roadblocks made of tree branches, rocks, metal and debris.

Regional News Migration of Jamaican teachers severely impacting schools

The constant migration of Jamaican teachers to greener pastures is having a crippling effect on the quality of education being offered to the nation’s children.

JAMAICA Teachers’ Association (JTA) President Owen Speid said that the ongoing migration of the nation’s teachers to so-called greener pastures was having a negative impact on some schools, resulting in the merger of classes to make up for the shortfall.

“The constant migration of Jamaican teachers to greener pastures is having a crippling effect on the quality of education being offered to the nation’s children,” Speid said, noting that critical subjects have had to be dropped because there were no teachers to teach them.

In a Gleaner interview, Speid said

he was worried that if the current trend continues, the education sector could be producing dysfunctional graduates in the near future.

Commenting on the delay in appointing a portfolio minister for education, Speid urged Prime Minister Andrew Holness to relinquish control of the ministry.

Holness took the reigns of the ministry earlier this year with the sacking of Ruel Reid, who is now facing corruption charges.

“The situation must receive immediate attention and I am recommending that Prime Minister Andrew Holness resign immediately as minister of education. He does not have the time to deal with education,” said Speid. “I have no problem

with him making Karl Samuda the permanent minister. He must name a minister, not a minister without portfolio acting in the ministry of education.”

Speid said that since Holness took charge of the ministry, he has not attended “for not even five minutes, a meeting with the JTA”.

The JTA boss also wants Holness to name full-time appointees to the positions of permanent secretary and chief education officer.

“An action plan needs to be put in place, but with these acting positions, the people in these positions cannot plan for further than six months.

There is a need for an action plan to last at least one year. The situation is untenable,” he charged.

Scott Hapgood is refusing to return to Anguilla on the manslaughter charge.

Arrest warrant issued for US investment banker charged with manslaughter in Anguilla An international arrest warrant has been issued for an American banker who, claiming that he fears for his safety because of public outcry, has refused to return to Anguilla to face the court for killing a hotel worker.

Anguilla’s Attorney General Dwight Horsford said 44-year-old Scott Hapgood is now considered a fugitive and faces extradition to the small British Overseas Territory to face the court.

The UBS investment banker is facing a manslaughter charge, accused of killing 27-year-old employee of the luxury Malliouhana Hotel, Kenny Mitchel, during a confrontation while on a family vacation in April this year.

He was to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Monday, but

Horsford said Hapgood’s defence team had notified local officials the night before that they had advised their client to not return.

“The letter further stated that this advice rested on concerns for their client’s safety and the fairness of the judicial process in Anguilla,” Horsford said in a statement released yesterday. “Both concerns are totally groundless.”

Governor Tim Foy, in a separate statement, insisted that the island was committed to fairness in the judicial process.

“He has no reason to doubt the fairness of the judicial process. The rule of law and respect for it are paramount in this territory, as in all constituent jurisdictions of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court,” Foy said.

General election 2019: PM vows to close ‘opportunity gap’ after Brexit DELIVERING Brexit would help the UK close the “opportunity gap between rich and poor”, Boris Johnson has said.

In his first big speech of the election campaign, he promised to boost regional industry and drive a “clean energy revolution” after the UK leaves the EU. He said a future Tory government would double investment in hightech research and development to £18bn.

But earlier former Tory David Gauke said Mr Johnson’s plan will lead to a “bad outcome for the country”.

And Labour said Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal was flawed and another referendum was needed.

boosting the regions.

He said the UK must be at the heart of the world’s “green revolution”, harnessing the power of science, innovation and technology to tackle climate change and create high-skilled, high wage jobs.

A Tory victory on 12 December would see the UK leave the EU in January, he said, and that would be good for the country’s “politics, economy and psychological health” after months of paralysis.

“We must get Brexit done because

we are democrats,” he said, saying while Leave voters wanted the result of the 2016 referendum result to be respected, Remain voters also accepted the “wrangling had to end”.

But he departed from excerpts of the speech briefed to the media on Tuesday, leaving out references to Brexit “groundhoggery” and claims that calls for another Brexit referendum and a further vote on Scottish independence were a form of “onanism”, or masturbation.

Asked about this at a press

conference after the speech, he blamed it on a “stray draft” of the speech released to the media.

The Tory leader said the UK’s economic fundamentals were sound, but he compared the country to a “cup-winning horse trying to run on three legs” with huge untapped potential and often “vastly different” educational outcomes.

“If every child had the same start and the same encouragement, think of the all untapped talent in this country,” he said.

“Yet the solution to that inequality is within our grasp... not just to close the opportunity gap between rich and poor but also between the regions of this country.”

He promised to make the “small improvements in life that people are craving” by addressing transport bottlenecks, improving rural bus services and broadband connections.

He also said British apprentices must be employed on all “big new public sector” contracts after Brexit.

To demonstrate his party’s support for enterprise, he said a future Tory government would double funding for research and development to £18bn in the next Parliament, which would amount to the “biggest ever increase in support for R&D”.

General election 2019: Don’t give up on stopping Brexit - Tusk More than 80% of the city, a Unesco world heritage site, was under water when tides were at their highest.

Venice floods: Italy to declare state of emergency over damage ITALY is set to declare a state of emergency in Venice after the Italian city was engulfed by 1.87m (6ft) high water levels, flooding its historic basilica and cutting power to homes.

More than 80% of the city, a Unesco world heritage site, was under water when tides were at their highest.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte described the flooding as “a blow to the heart of our country”.

He said the government would now act quickly to provide funds and resources.

“It hurts to see the city so damaged, its artistic heritage compromised, its commercial activities on its knees,” Mr Conte, who visited the region late on Wednesday, wrote in a Facebook post (in Italian).

He said the government would

“accelerate” the building of structural defences for the lagoon city, referring specifically to the socalled Mose project - a hydraulic barrier system to shut off the lagoon in the event of rising sea levels and winter storms.

The prime minister said he intended to declare emergency measures on Thursday, adding that individuals could claim up to €5,000 (£4,300; $5,500), and businesses up to €20,000, in compensation.

Many museums remained shut on Thursday, AFP reports.

It comes as Venetians woke to sirens indicating that the tide would “remain high” in the coming days, although it was not expected to exceed 130cm (50in) above average sea level, according to the Venetian authorities.

OUTGOING European Council President Donald Tusk has urged British voters not to “give up” on stopping Brexit.

As campaigning ramps up ahead of next month’s general election, he warned that leaving the EU would leave the UK a “second-rate player”.

In a speech, he also said Brexit would likely mark the “real end of the British Empire”.

He is due to step down from his role next month, having held the post for five years.

Mr Tusk’s intervention comes as Conservative leader Boris Johnson said the UK Parliament was “paralysed” and had refused “time and again to honour the mandate of the people and to deliver Brexit”.

Meanwhile, the UK has continued to refuse to put forward a candidate for the next European Commission, which is due to take office next month if approved by MEPs. The BBC understands the UK’s EU ambassador has written to the Commission saying that a candidate will not be put forward due to the election.

In the letter, Sir Tim Barrow is understood to say pre-election rules prevented ministers from putting forward nominees for jobs at EU institutions until after polling day.

In a speech, Donald Tusk said that Brexit would likely mark the “real end of the British Empire”.

However, he is understood to have insisted the UK does not want to stop the Commission being formed as soon as possible.

Mr Johnson is hoping to win a majority in 12 December’s election so that he can take the UK out of the EU on 31 January with the deal he negotiated with Brussels.

But Labour is promising to renegotiate that deal and put it to a referendum, with the option of remaining in the EU, if it wins the election - and smaller opposition

parties are campaigning to Remain.

Speaking at the College of Europe in Bruges, Mr Tusk said: “Brexit may happen at the beginning of next year.

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

Cows swept away by Hurricane Dorian found alive in North Carolina THREE cows swept off an island in North Carolina during Hurricane Dorian have been found alive after apparently swimming for several miles.

The cows belong to a herd on the US state’s Cedar Island but were swept away in September by a “mini tsunami” generated by Dorian.

They were presumed dead until they were spotted at the Cape Lookout National Seashore park on the Outer Banks.

Plans are now under way to send them back home.

Park officials say they believe the three stranded cows swam up to five miles (8km) to make it to the Outer Banks barrier islands.

Spokesman BG Horvat told

the McClatchy news group that park staff spotted the first cow on the North Core barrier island about a month after the storm, while the two others were discovered in the past

two weeks.

Mr Horvat said the animals were lucky not to have drifted into the Atlantic, which happened to some wild horses.

They “certainly have a

gripping story to share”, he added.

Hurricane Dorian made

landfall on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in early September as a Category

One storm, lashing the state with heavy rains, winds and flooding.

New ride hailing cab service ‘Conch Cab’ hits TCI

New online ride-hailing service launched in Provo

BY DELANA ISLES THERE is a new affordable cab

service in town, aptly dubbed ‘Conch Cabs’ ready to serve the island of Providenciales.

Last week, the new service was launched at Kalooki’s restaurant in Grace Bay, with

an added touch - that of an Uber-like ride hailing online service.

The service affords passengers the ability to request a ride right from their mobile devices.

It comprises of a fleet of independently owned and operated community cabs that are fully insured and licensed as required by law.

Also, as stipulated by law, the cars are white with the requisite two turquoise stripes on each side of the vehicle, but with a huge conch shell on the roof, to make them stand out.

As soon as riders are assigned a driver, they are able to see a photo of their driver along with the make, model and licence plate of the

vehicle.

Through a partnership with Fast Track TCI, a premium service with luxury VIP transport is also offered.

New users can sign-up in less than a minute, and once they have an account rides can be requested in a few seconds.

To sign-up as a rider, simply visit the ‘conch.cab’ website on mobile devices.

One-off Friends TV reunion on the cards - but it won’t be a reboot ALL six Friends actors are in talks for a one-off unscripted reunion show, according to reports in the US. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety claim the special programme would be shown on new streaming site HBO Max. However it would apparently not involve fully reviving the hit sitcom, which ran from 1994-2004.

HBO Max secured the US rights to all 10 seasons of Friends for $425m (£340m) for its service, which is due to launch in April 2020.

The show will move from Netflix, where it has found a new lease of life with younger audiences, being the second most-watched show in 2018 - according to Nielsen data.

Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel on the show, recently joined

Friends, which was a big hit, ran from 1994 to 2004.

Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.

The 22-year-old, who had a US number one album last December, admitted falsifying information on background forms to buy four guns.

Rapper Kodak Black sentenced to nearly four years in prison US rapper Kodak Black has been sentenced to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges.

The 22-year-old, who had a US number one album last December, admitted falsifying information on background forms to buy four guns.

He was arrested before his set at Miami’s Rolling Loud festival in May. One of the guns he bought was used in an attempted shooting in March. Prosecutors said “a rival rap artist was the intended target”.

However, he has not been charged in relation to that shooting.

Real name Bill K Kapri, the hiphop star faced a maximum of 10 years in prison, and prosecutors had pushed for a sentence of eight years.

The court heard he was alleged to have beaten up a prison guard while awaiting sentencing.

US District Judge Federico

Moreno acknowledged that Black had made anonymous donations to charity in the past.

Black’s lawyer Bradford Cohen told BBC News: “After the court was apprised of all the facts and circumstances of this case and the good charitable work that Bill has done over the years, the court rejected the government’s request of 96 months and sentenced Bill to 46 months.”

The MC has had a number of legal charges and spells in prison in recent years, and is known for his violent lyrics.

His debut studio album Painting Pictures went to number three in the US in 2017.

The follow-up went to number two, and a third album, Dying to Live, reached number one last December. Two hit singles - Zeze and Tunnel Vision - have reached the Billboard top 10. (BBC)

TCI footballers (middle) battled hard in the clash

NEWS 35

The Turks and Caicos Islands national team

Late goals by Forbes and Singh spur TCI to a 3-2 win against Sint Maarten LATE goals by TCI’s captain Billy Forbes and veteran player Lenford Singh propelled the Turks and Caicos Islands to a come-from-behind win against Sint Maarten when the two teams met in the return leg of their CONCACAF Nations League C Group D battle on Thursday afternoon at the TCIFA National Academy.

The visitors were holding on to

a slim 2-1 lead at the break and the match looked like if it would have ended at that scoreline, but TCI kept attacking. One such attack led Singh to even the game in the 75th minute of play.

The game then looked like it would have finished as a draw, but two minutes into injury time, Forbes fired one past the goalie to hand TCI

a win.

In the 12th minute of play, Gerwin Lake had opened the scoring for the visitors, before Jose Elcius drew the game even in the 37th. Remslei Boelijn then handed Sint Maarten a 2-1 lead with a late strike in the first half, before TCI took control in the second period.

When the two teams met in the first game, TCI had claimed a 5-2

win.

The wins have ensured that TCI would at least finish second in the group. This Sunday the side would travel to Guadeloupe for the rematch with that nation.

Thursday’s victory means that theoretically, there is still a path for the TCI to top the group and enter the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup

Playoffs, but it would not be easy since Guadeloupe, who are unbeaten; also have a huge goal difference lead.

In our opener against Guadeloupe, we lost 3-0, but that game seems like it is a distant memory and our side looks very different now.

For us to advance we will not only have to beat the home side, but we will have to win by a large margin.

Stokes: Warner’s comments inspired match-winning heroics in third Ashes Test

Fraser-Pryce, the world 100m champion and 4x100m gold medallist from the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, also ended the year as the fastest woman in the 100m with 10.71 seconds.

Fraser-Pryce among finalists for Female World Athlete of the Year 2019 JAMAICAN sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has been named as one of five finalists for the World Athletics Female World Athlete of the Year Award.

Fraser-Pryce, the world 100m champion and 4x100m gold medallist

from the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, also ended the year as the fastest woman in the 100m with 10.71 seconds.

She also won gold in the 200m at the PanAm Games and won seven of her 10 races in the 100m.

ENGLAND’S Ben Stokes says his match-winning heroics in the third Ashes Test of the summer at Headingley were motivated by Australia’s David Warner.

Stokes’ unbeaten 135 helped England to one of their greatest victories as they levelled the series at 1-1.

In the chase of an England record 359, Stokes’ innings also included a 76-run stand with last man Jack Leach.

“He just wouldn’t shut up for most of my time out there,” Stokes said of Warner, in his new book ‘On Fire’.

An Australia win, which would have seen them retain the Ashes after the third Test, seemed almost certain when the tourists bowled England out for 67 on day two.

However, Stokes, who scored only three runs off his first 73 balls after arriving at the crease on the Saturday evening, and who was dropped on 34 by Warner at slip, had other ideas.

Stokes did manage to shake Warner’s hand at the end of the Test

“I had extra personal motivation due to some things that were said to me out on the field on the evening of day three when I was trying to get through to stumps,” recalls Stokes, whose book is being serialised in the Mirror.

“A few of the Aussies were being quite chirpy but, in particular, David Warner seemed to have his heart set on disrupting me.

“I could accept it from just about

any other opponent. Truly. Not from him, though.

“The changed man he was adamant he’d become, the one that hardly said boo to a goose and even went as far as claiming he had been re-nicknamed ‘Humble’ by his Australia team-mates, had disappeared. Maybe his lack of form in his new guise had persuaded him that he needed to get ‘the bull’ back?

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

November 16-22, 2019

TCIFA introduces football programme geared towards children with special needs FOOTBALL is a global movement, due to its ability to break ethnic, political and economic grounds, at home in the Turks and Caicos Islands the most popular sport in the world is now being played by children with special needs.

The notion behind this new initiative stemmed from the TCIFA and its battle to end any form of discrimination, while driving positive changes through the sport.

With Ava Robertson and Bertha Lee Belle at its helm, the FA recently introduced a football programme geared specifically towards children with Special Needs.

Technical Director Andrew Edwards commented, “The TCIFA has a mandate to develop and spread football for all, throughout all the islands of the TCI and we are extremely proud that we are now, finally, providing access to the game for the kids of our Special Needs community. It is a very exciting time for the TCIFA that we are able to be instrumental in adding value to the lives of these children, providing equal access and opportunity for the fulfillment of dreams and life goals.”

The Special Needs Programme serves to enrich the lives of the

children, coaches, and partners who participate in the ‘beautiful game’.

No one knows this better than Coach Ava Robertson who has served as a longtime volunteer and player at the TCIFA, and who is a proud mother of a special needs child. Joining her in leading the Special Needs Programme is Coach Bertha Lee Belle, manager of Net Rockers FC. According to information from the FA, the programme is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing football to any boy or girl, and incorporates life skills. The focus is to highlight each and every player’s abilities rather than disabilities, and provide an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Both Coaches will conduct half an hour sessions giving special attention to one child or two children at a time. The sessions are held at the TCIFA National Academy turf field on Saturdays, beginning at 16:00h.

The methods of training are subject to monthly evaluation and review, with the intent to host a football festival showcasing the skills players have learnt during the course.

The TCIFA is looking to give all children, despite their physical capabilities, the opportunity to play football.

An FA release stated that: “The Special Needs Programme depicts,

in particular, the diversity of our players and it promotes the message

that all are welcome, fostering a more inclusive Turks and Caicos Islands”.

Swedish coaches complete groundwork for ‘UEFA Assist’ technical support

SWEDISH coaches, Ramin Kiani and Per Widé, visited the Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) last week to assess the technical needs of its development programmes.

During the course of the week, UEFA and TCIFA officials carried out a series of consultations and discussions about providing advanced coaching education here in the Turks and Caicos Islands and in Sweden for TCIFA coaches.

The visiting coaching are also hoping to create effective player pathway development.

Facilitated by Concacaf, this is a UEFA initiative known as “UEFA Assist”, whereby certain Concacaf Member Associations are paired with a country from the UEFA Confederation. The TCIFA is partnered with the Swedish Football Association.

The programme aims to increase solidarity and enhance football development to tackle the needs of national associations and confederations outside Europe. The main scope is essentially to share knowledge and best practices to help UEFA’s

TCIFA’s representatives in discussion with one of the coaches.

sister confederations to develop and strengthen football within their respective territories. It is mostly designed to provide practical rather than financial assistance, and offer support through development

activities.

UEFA Assist is composed of four pillars, each providing specific support to member associations and confederations worldwide: 1. Capacity building (operations and

football) 2. Development of youth football 3. Infrastructure (small scale projects that provide immediate benefits) 4. UEFA member association support Support is provided to projects

that are highly conducive to the development of football within the confederations and member associations.

Last year, the Swedish Football Association donated and installed bleachers at the TCIFA’s Beach Soccer facility. The next course of action will include the provision of comprehensive and practical aid by experts to help increase the capacity of coaches and improve the standard of coaching throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Reflecting on this initiative, President Sonia Fulford said “We truly embrace this partnership with the Swedish FA and we look forward to the development of the Coaching Education aspect. The key to the development of our local players is having knowledgeable coaches possessing the necessary resources to bring our players to the next level. We look forward to working with coaches from a Top 10 ranked country and we have every reason to believe that the benefits will be seen in short order both on and off the field”.

by Scotiabank had Carol Brown, Chris Haggie, Mark Bowden and Simon Dobbs finishing second.

The team of Ernest Gardiner, Gervin Simmons, Marc Rawlins and Mike Flynn placed third, while Stuart Gray, Steve Murray, Quinn Hawkins and Garrett Donovan placed fourth.

Funds raised will go towards youth development. With the FA expanding its reach to all islands there are over

600 registered children throughout the TCI, so there is a need for funds to fuel programmes to facilitate them all.

He added that: “Football has the unique ability to connect people all over the world. We also believe in the power of football as a vehicle for social change. We are committed to helping the communities that we serve to become better off.

the field. This event is critical for our growth and we once again thank Provo Golf Club, Scotiabank and all our sponsors for sharing our dream and willingly assisting us in this initiative.”
