Category five hurricane Dorian swept through the northern Bahamas earlier this month

Immigration minister invites storm stricken TCI-Bahamians ‘home’ BY GEMMA HANDY “WE WILL welcome you here.” That’s the official message to TCI-Bahamians looking to escape the carnage of the hurricane-hit neighbouring islands. Perhaps never before have the deep family ties between the two nations been so significant as reality bites for those in the northern Bahamas who have lost everything. A handful of people, including children, have already relocated to Providenciales in the aftermath of disastrous category five hurricane Dorian which swept through the region earlier this month,

Immigration Minister Delroy Williams told the Weekly News. And with Freeport – capital of badly-damaged Grand Bahama – a hub for people with links to the TCI, more are expected to follow. Bahamians can already travel freely to the TCI; those with parents and grandparents in the Islands automatically benefit from Belongership status too. “They are welcome to come; this is their home,” Williams added. Bethendy Handfield moved to TCI from Freeport in 2005 after hurricane Wilma struck. Her 19-year-old daughter has just joined her in Providenciales after her

grandparents’ Grand Bahama home was demolished by Dorian. “There was nothing left so I brought her here with me,” Handfield, who works for FortisTCI, said. “She started at the Community College yesterday but she is still quite traumatised from Dorian; I am arranging counselling for her.” Handfield, whose parents are both from TCI, added: “I always intended to go back to the Bahamas but every time I made plans there was another hurricane.” As of Tuesday (September 24), Dorian’s official death toll stood at 54 with more than 600 people still missing. Bahamian health chiefs estimate just 30 percent of the population have returned to their communities in the worst-affected eastern parts of Grand Bahama. Roads have now been cleared but many areas are still without electricity and running water, according to the latest report from humanitarian online portal ReliefWeb. Officials are also on high alert for outbreaks of water-borne diseases, while ensuring those with preexisting chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension receive the care they need. For many, the psychological trauma of experiencing the worst natural disaster in the Bahamas’ recorded history will be only just beginning. “It’s an adrenalin rush now, but after a month reality sets in and people begin to get angry and depressed,” said Dr Stacie Evans of the Grand Bahama Public Health Authority. Meanwhile, many homeowners who believed their properties to be insured against the storm’s full impact are now learning they may

not receive a cent. Many policies typically do not include coverage for flooding. Dorian’s slow pace caused water surges of “biblical proportions”, annihilating homes across several northernmost islands including the Abacos. “One popular insurance policy uses the word ‘inundation’ to exclude flooding from sea water,” explained claims consultant and TCI attorney Beryn Duncanson, who is currently in Freeport assisting clients. “It lulls people into a false sense of security. I am talking to one man who’s being told he won’t get anything from his insurance company because flooding is exempted. “The water was so high that policy providers are even insisting in some cases that roof damage was down to flooding,” Duncanson continued. “Having seen the videos on social media, people can imagine the level of damage the water has done to private homes. Properties were totally overwhelmed. Some areas

look like a wasteland.” Duncanson estimated that most homes on the island of Grand Bahama would have had home insurance, albeit as a requirement from mortgage providers, rather than individual prudence. He cited the mean value of a typical home to be around $200,000, although some he is assisting with were worth up to double that figure. Despite the ruination, the mood on the ground is largely one of endurance, he said. “More than three weeks after the storm, people seem to have accepted what’s happened and many are just waiting to see what the loss adjustors say. “I’m trying to help homeowners get as much money as possible out of the insurance companies,” Duncanson said. He described the devastation left in Dorian’s wake as unprecedented. “The Bahamas has seen big blows before but they were not like this,” Duncanson added. “This is like nothing even the older people here have ever seen before. It’s of biblical proportions.” Destruction wreaked was in spite of the Bahamas’ stringent building codes which were upgraded in 2003. Standards were higher than some of those codified in parts of hurricane-prone South Florida, according to chiefs with the nonprofit Resilience Action Fund. Bahamian regulations require buildings to be capable of withstanding winds up to 180mph, well in excess of a category five storm. In recent years, many residents had independently equipped their houses with storm shutters, metal roofs and electricity generators after 2016’s hurricane Matthew caused widespread wreckage.

Lightbourne says he still plans to sue ‘malicious’ PNP HON. George Lightbourne, elected representative for Grand Turk North, has said that he still intends to pursue legal action against the Progressive National Party (PNP) for breaches of the party’s constitution. The member has also spoken out about the “maliciousness” the party executive displayed in adding his name to the PNP ballot during the ‘Super Tuesday’ primaries held on September 10. Lightbourne - who has won his constituency both times by large margins - only secured two votes in those elections, shockingly losing out to newcomers Otis ‘Chuck’ Morris and Sharon Simmons. The elected member told the Weekly News that his name was put on the ballot even though he expressly told the party that he did not want to contest in the elections. “My name was entered on their ballot during their runoff despite me writing to them asking that it not be included. “It was done in a mean spirited attempt to give the false impression that I was no longer wanted in the constitution, which is ludicrous.” He said the fact that one candidate received 26 votes and the other got 20 is quite telling, as the district had

709 voters registered during the last election. “In order to vote at that run off you were required to register persons; I registered zero persons because I was not interested in participating,” the member stated. He said he refused to participate in the process because the leader of the party, Hon. Washington Misick, spearheaded the event, even though he was not duly elected to be leader. “Therefore every decision made by him must be considered unlawful; I do not take part in unlawful acts.” He added: “Anyone rational thinking person must know that if I was interested in participating, I could have very easily registered over 50 family members. “I will not be deterred by the hate and animosity, I will continue to stand for right and I will continue to ably represent my constituency of Grand Turk North and beyond.” Asked if he intends to run in the 2020 general elections as an at large candidate or contest his district as an independent member, Hon. Lightbourne said he is still considering his options. LEGAL ACTION The Weekly News reported earlier

this month that the PNP member had threatened legal action if Misick and the party’s deputy leader E Jay Saunders did not resign their position within a few weeks. While that time has passed, Hon. Lightbourne said he still intends to pursue legal action against the party, stating: “I do stand by my promise made in my statement that went public.” In that statement he had accused the party of an unlawful move in order to retain Hon. Misick as party leader. “Under our party constitution, there was to have been an election for the party’s leadership. “However, a deal was made to keep Washington as leader and to cancel the elections. “When this failed, a new unlawful motion was made on the floor of the convention to allow Misick to enter the race. “When this was done, no section of the constitution was cited to support such a motion and none could have been cited because none exists,” the parliamentarian stated. Hon. Lightbourne also supplied to the Weekly News portions of the PNP constitution that he believes substantiate his claims. “Section 24.7 of the PNP

Hon. George Lightbourne, elected representative for Grand Turk North

constitution states - the leader shall resign his office if he fails to win his seat in the general election following his election as leader, in which event, a fresh election shall be held for the office of leader from among members who are the newly elected members of the House of Assembly, and such an election shall be held at a special congress held for the purpose.” He added that Section 24.7 of the constitution also prohibits non-siting parliamentarians from entering the PNP leadership race. “Two members who participated were not sitting members of parliament,” Hon. Lightbourne said,

“these two applicants’ inclusion in the race was done in contravention of the party constitution thus making a farce of the entire process, subsequently making it unlawful.” He added that Section 24.7 was never amended to permit the non-sitting members to enter the leadership race. The two non-parliamentary members referred to are: former minister of immigration Ricardo Don-Hue Gardiner who lost his parliamentary seat in the 2016 elections, and Reverend John Malcolm, who has never been elected as a member of parliament.

Man charged with murder after nightclub shooting A TWENTY-two-year-old has been charged with murder following the fatal shooting of a man in a Grand Turk nightclub. Julien Pierre, 27, was shot dead in Tigers Night Club on West Road in the early hours of Sunday morning (September 22). This latest death brings the total murders in the Turks and Caicos Islands this year to 11. According to the 911 Control Room, police and emergency medical technicians were dispatched to the scene, shortly after 2am, where they discovered Pierre with gunshot injuries. He was immediately taken to Cockburn Town Medical Centre where he later died, a police press release said. A second man, a 23-year-old who was also injured during

the incident, is listed as critical and is expected to be airlifted for further medical treatment. On Tuesday police charged a 22-year-old man, who they have not yet named, with murder and

attempted murder in connection with the incident. A 21-year-old man was also arrested and was given bail in the amount of $10,000 while and a 23-year-old man is in police custody

assisting with investigations. Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting said: “Whilst a man has been charged in connection with the death of Mr Pierre, my team of detectives and staff are still working to establish the full circumstances of the incident on the morning of September 22. “I am asking again for members of the community of Grand Turk to come forward with information which could help.” He added: “The island is far too small for crimes of this nature to be taking place and persons refuse to tell us what they know.” If anyone has information but is reluctant to come forward and speak to police, they can call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-800-8477. Botting said: “We do not want to know your name, we do not want to know your identity. Crime

Stoppers is completely anonymous, and the calls are untraceable. “We simply need any information you may have, no matter how small it is to help us to put these thugs behind bars. “Remember this is also your community and at what stage will enough be enough in relation to gun crime. “If you want our streets to be safer, if you want to go about your life with less fear, now is the time to stop being a spectator to the problem and start being part of the solution. “Work with us in keeping the Turks and Caicos Islands safe and secure”. Family and friends left messages of condolence on the late Pierre’s Facebook page. “You’ve always kept a smile on people’s faces. Gone too soon. Rest in paradise,” said one.

National Security Strategy gets the green light THE TURKS and Caicos Islands can look forward to the delivery of the National Security Strategy in the near future as the National Security Council has approved the draft document. The second draft of the highly anticipated strategy was submitted to the high level security body on Wednesday, September 18. Presenting the document were Governor Nigel Dakin and Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson. At that session the council - which on that day also comprised of Hon. Vaden Delroy Williams, Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services, Deputy Governor Anya Williams, Attorney General Rhondalee Brathwaite Knowles, Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting - agreed with the overarching purpose of the strategy. Overseas guests present at the meeting included Lieutenant Colonel Anton Gash, the British Defence Attache for the Carribbean, and Lieutenant Commander Justin Materjka, of the US Coastguard. According to a social media post by Governor Dakin last Thursday (September 19) both men made presentations during the meeting about “respective UK and US contributions in support of our emerging strategy.” He said the document was endorsed by the British and US representative. Minutes from the meeting sent out by the Governor’s Office this week, outlined that the Council agreed on

the next steps to be taken for the implementation of the strategy. These steps include consultation with the Joint Law Enforcement Team (JLET), leader of the Opposition, stakeholders, Cabinet and the National Security Advisory Group. The aim of the security strategy is to “ensure the country is more resilient to natural disasters and strengthens its ability to tackle illegal migration including human trafficking and over-stayers”. “A more in-depth discussion was had on the key components of the NSS, its underlying structures and governance, a secretariat to deliver the strategy, the establishment of a central mechanism for managing information and multi-agency collaboration,” the council’s minutes read. The Joint Law Enforcement Team will be comprised of several agencies, departments and certain elements of society. They will then, as a group, be tasked with the execution of the security strategy. They will manage the resources that are currently available, procure additional tools and resources to the entities tasked with internal and external security, strengthen partnerships internally and with regional and international agencies to effectively collaborate on security initiatives. Critical to the JLET’s mandate will be to engage the Turks and Caicos Islands community as a valuable resource in the fight against crime.

CREDIT UNIONS IN THE TCI

DESPITE the arguments between the Government and the Opposition as to who initiated the legislation, the Credit Union Ordinance became law on August 1, while subsidiary legislation (the regulations and prudential standards) took effect on September 15. As it now stands, credit unions can be legally formed and operated in the Turks and Caicos Islands. What are your thoughts?

Sound and strong

It doesn’t matter who initiated the law, what matters is the implementation, execution and enforcement. Credit unions are great institutions. We should model them after the Teacher’s Cooperative Credit Union in Bahamas that not only offers Christmas club, retirement club and vacation club savings accounts, they also give small loans and mortgages with rates as low as New York Prime plus 0.20. They are sound and strong. A home grown financial co-op is welcomed. Drexwell Seymour, we are ready when you are.

Empower the people

It matters not who initiated a piece of legislation, being the people’s servants the hue and cry of career politicians, the law, the idea, concept of it all belongs to the people. Should the most loyal Opposition care to claim it all, they would then lay claim to acts and omissions of the PNP Government 2003 to 2009 which cost the people $100s of millions and are still paying well into the future. It is undeniable that the PDM Government met the credit union legislation on the table and such legislation is the property of the people. To nit-pick, the PNP Government of 2003 met the Leeward Highway well under construction and claimed it was “theirs”. Same thing for the TCI Community College and the National Insurance Fund - these were well advanced ideas by the time the PNP took power in 1991 and they claimed it was theirs. It really matters not. The challenge for this Government is to find the substance of a political, policy and legislative initiative that would serve to empower the people.

Silly debate

If it is good for the TCI so be it; the politicians can continue to their hearts’ content.

Glad but astonished

Irrespective of who claims credit for the legislation, anyone trying to set up a credit union will have to get FSC approval. This means having anti-money laundering manuals, a money laundering reporting officer, a compliance officer, compulsory antimoney laundering training for all staff, a business risk assessment. A risk assessment must be completed for each depositor, borrower, etc. Once a potential credit union becomes aware of the regulatory burdens and costs involved they will just walk away. I would be glad but astonished if anyone sets one up. There are no hedge funds or security dealers here for similar reasons - excessive regulatory requirements.

Break the mould

TC Islanders desperately need greater funding, greater resources, monies to empower and develop our people and it is such an initiative that must be taken off the political table. Let this Government, any Government, budget some $20 million and or do a supplementary appropriation for a fund, a bank, something, so that the Government could lend, advance in greater numbers, monies for small business expansion and start-ups. Not another TCI Bank which was a commercial bank with endless unsecured loans. Some people had $200,000, $1.5 million, unsecured and no initiative by the liquidators to get those monies back. Where there are grants - make more grants. Where there are small

business loans, make more loans, low interest rates, nothing more than five percent – two percent and three percent would really do. Just break the mould. Credit union legislation is a brilliant idea. It is really the A-Sue on steroids. Instead of the Government budgeting for the credit union, people get to set up their own credit union with proper guidelines and regulation. Apart from the savings plan, it may emerge with credit card and visa facilities. Credit unions have proven to be a critical part of Caribbean economic development and the self-help agenda. In the US during the bank meltdown era, credit unions stayed as they were using their own money. If there is to be praise, thank the Opposition for the idea, thank the Government for seeing it through but let the people have something with which to breathe again. Let us gain confidence in inspiring and helping our people. Let us encourage a return to development banking, low interest loan facilities with the credit union to help with self-help incentives. Again, if we didn’t have to pay $100 million annually for 25 years to a health scheme that cannot be audited or controlled by the TCI people, or a set of trials costing well over $100 million, we’d have more than enough money to finance credit union start-ups, invest in them, take shares in them and give TCI people a real shot in the arm. The issue is money, not whose idea it is.

Search called off for missing teenager POLICE have called off the official search for 17-year-old Alandre Jean Pierre who went missing last week after swimming in the sea with friends. The teen was last seen disappearing into the water at the beach opposite the Kid’s Park in the Lower Bight, Providenciales, at 1pm at ab on Thursday, September 19.

Force to recruit 20 new police officers THE GOVERNMENT has committed $500,000 to pay for 20 new police officers to join the Royal TCI Police Force – and the recruitment drive has already begun. On Monday (September 23) Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting began the search for the new officers who he hopes will come mainly from the TCI. “We are hoping to receive a large number of local applicants who will be given preference, but we are open to hiring outside of the territory,” he said in a press statement. The additional 20 police constables will join 277 officers currently on the force, bringing the total to nearly 300. “This is the most important announcement we’ve had for the year and the 20 new trained officers will make a fundamental difference,” Botting said. “I look forward to welcoming them to the force as they embark

on their new careers serving the communities of the Turks and Caicos Islands.” On October 15 the recruitment drive will end at which time the successful candidates will be chosen. The 20 new recruits will then receive basic training locally before commencing their training at the Regional Police Training Centre (RPTC) in Barbados. Commissioner Botting said: “Initially we’ve had an agreement with the Bahamas Police Training College, however due to the catastrophic hurricane Dorian they were unable to accommodate us. “We are currently finalising discussions with our colleagues in Barbados. “In the past, we’ve sent our recruits to the RPTC in Barbados up until the year 2001 - and we have received some of the best officers through this training programme.” The 26 week programme will

Police crackdown on cars with no plates DRIVERS who do not have a plate for their vehicle risk a fine of $300 as police are soon to begin an operation to reduce the number of illegal vehicles on the streets. The crackdown will begin on September 30, a police press release revealed on Tuesday (September 24). Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting explained that this is a crime fighting initiative and not to penalise the motoring public. “We have discovered many crimes being captured on CCTV and the vehicles used in the crimes are not displaying licence plates to avoid detection,” he

said. “The public is advised that this effort by my officers only demonstrates our commitment to your safety and your cooperation will be appreciated.” He added: “I am happy to report that the Department of Road Safety are currently issuing plates so there is now no excuse not to display a correct plate for your vehicle.” It is an offence to drive without an identification plate and anyone who does risks a $300 maximum penalty. Anyone who has purchased a new or used vehicle can visit the Department of Road Safety to avoid being pulled up.

The form, entitled ‘Turks and Caicos Islands: State of emergency’ is listed on lobby site www.change. org and has been shared on several social media platforms. Creator Avi Adams explained that he put together the petition in response to the news that ten people had been murdered in the TCI this year. Since the murder of 27-yearold Julien Pierre in Grand Turk on Sunday (September 22) that total has risen to 11. At time of press the petition had gathered 3,752 signatures.

Cayman Islands to investigate fatal police shooting INVESTIGATORS from the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service have begun an investigation into the fatal shooting of a man by a TCI police officer. Daniel Been Jr was shot dead in Bassy Yard in Five Cays, Providenciales, at about 3.20pm on Wednesday, September 18. According to a police press statement, officers were responding to a report of an “incident” in the vicinity when they met Been.

Teen driver chased by cops AN EIGHTEEN-year-old has been arrested after refusing to stop during a traffic check at Suzie Turn roundabout in Providenciales. Officers on patrol on Saturday (September 21) chased the grey Toyota Voxy car from Leeward

Haitian illegal migrant wins appeal of rape conviction HUMAN rights attorney Sheena Mair recorded another success in the Court of Appeal just before the close of the 2019 session. Her client was Haitian national Jeff Kenson, who was convicted in March for the rape of a female illegal migrant from Haiti. He was sentenced to eight years behind bars. Mair argued that Kenson’s trial was rife with serious irregularities

and urged the appellate judges to vacate the conviction as it was unsafe and unsatisfactory, and set aside the sentence. The judges agreed, setting aside the man’s conviction and ordering the Director of Public Prosecutions Eugene Otuonye QC to conduct a new trial. It now up to the DPP’s Chambers whether they will retry the man.

Court of Appeal affirms convictions on three firearm offences APPELLANTS who pleaded guilty to illegal gun possession but had a change of heart upon incarceration and appealed their convictions, all lost before the appellate court this week. This comes as the TCI society and Government are waking up to the reality that there are too many guns in the hands of residents who are not legally authorised to possess them. Jim Kelly Joseph’s appeal was dismissed, and his conviction and sentence were reaffirmed. He was represented by attorney Tim Prudhoe. Joseph was found in possession of the firearm and ammunition during a search of his home in 2018. Stan Forbes faced a similar fate - appeal dismissed, conviction and sentence affirmed. He was represented by Sheena Mair. Police found the gun and ammunition in Forbes’ home in 2018. Lawrence Forbes’s appeal was

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

also dismissed, with conviction and sentence affirmed. He too was represented by Sheena Mair. Forbes was arrested in June 2018 after a brief fight with police who were trying to arrest him. At the time of the fight, the appellant was holding a loaded gun and only complied with the officers’ commands to cease fighting after one of them fired his weapon. These defendants were sentenced to the statutory minimum sentence of seven years imprisonment, which they will now have to complete. A fourth man, Alexander Cuesta had a different fate. His appeal was allowed and he won a reduction to his eight year sentence. He will have to wait until January 2020 to find out what that reduction is, however. He was represented by attorney Sheena Mair. Cuesta was one of three men involved in the robbery and shooting death of casino owner Gary Meade in 2016.

Bahamian man stands trial for murder of Dominican women THREE years after being arrested for the murder of two Dominican women, Bahamian Christopher Adolphus Forbes stands trial in the Supreme Court. Forbes appeared for his first day of hearing on Monday (September 23) before Chief Justice Margaret Ramsay-Hale in Grand Turk. The trial is intended to run for two to three weeks. Representing the accused is Queen’s Counsel Jerome Lynch noted for his ongoing representation of a former government minister in the SIPT trial. The Crown is expected to call a number of witnesses as they attempt to prove that the alleged two-time killer is responsible for intentionally taking the lives of Yuneiry Veras and Sorineida Moreno Arias. Thirty-five year old Forbes was arrested in August 2016 for the brutal slayings of the two young women. The man was captured by police following a stake out at a home along Millennium Heights in Providenciales. Both victims, aged 26, were first reported as missing, then were found dead in Providenciales within three months of each other. Yuneiry was last seen alive on April 18. Five days later, on April 23, two tourists sightseeing in Pirate’s Cove,

North West Point, Providenciales made a gruesome discovery, which turned out to be the decomposing body of the young woman. On July 10, friends and coworkers of Sorineida reported her missing to police. A search party was quickly formed by members of the Dominican society in Providenciales. Three days later, a member of

the search party called the police to Crystal Bay, also at North West Point, Providenciales, where Sorineida’s body was discovered. She was found just before dark, around 5pm on July 13. At the time of the discoveries, many residents were fearful that the territory would record its first serial killer.

‘Biting would-be robber’ loses appeal RASHARD Stubbs was one of the unlucky appellants this session, losing his appeal on firearm related offences and robbery. Despite the legal manoeuvring by increasingly popular defence attorney Sheena Mair, the appellate judges were not swayed that Stubbs’ trial was bungled by his trial attorney. His appeal was dismissed on Monday (September 23) after two days of hearings and his conviction and sentence of 13 years imprisonment were reaffirmed. Stubbs is serving time for assault with intent to rob, carrying a firearm,

carrying ammunition and inflicting grievous bodily harm. Last October, Stubbs was found guilty by a jury for the attempted armed robbery of a casino in the Brother Will complex located in The Bight, Providenciales. However, the robbery got dicey for the convicted felon when patrons and workers held him down and beat him. In a fight for freedom, Stubbs bit the finger of one of the women who was helping to beat him. He managed to escape the fight, dropping the firearm he intended to use to rob the establishment.

The evidence against the defendant during his recent trial were: CCTV footage from the establishment, DNA found in and around the business premises, the firearm left on the scene that was tied to him, gloves and a mask found with Stubbs’ DNA on them, other items with his DNA, Stubbs’ cousin’s identification of him in the business place at the time of the commission of the crime and police officers’ identification of him as the person trying to rob the place when his mask was beaten off and captured by the CCTV cameras in the business place.

Monkey see, monkey do THE MONKEY see monkey do concept has been around for years. Before I proceed with this article, I am not implying that anyone is a monkey. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the behaviours of some individuals occur because they are doing what they see others are doing. With that said, I am suggesting that we capitalise on this concept and make something positive out of it. Our society is full of negativity and perhaps part of it is due to the fact that we are doing what we see others do without even thinking about the consequences or the reasons why we are doing what we are doing. One thing I try not to do is to forward negative messages or videos about others. However, it seems as soon as we get a negative video or message we forward it to someone else and then he or she in turn forward that to someone else and soon it becomes viral creating a lot of negative vibes and ruining the reputation of others. Not all videos and messages about individuals are accurate and even if they are correct, it should not be our business to forward negative information about others. Unfortunately, if no one denies

or confirms the information on the video then the information is considered to be the truth. Wouldn’t it be nice if we discontinue forwarding negative messages and concentrate on saying something positive about individuals and organisations? What is even amazing though is that some of our leaders are guilty of this behaviour and as a result their followers likewise do the same thing. Monkey see, monkey do. Wouldn’t it be nice if we discontinue commenting on the negative vibes? Why don’t we try this? Write or say something positive about someone or an organisation and let it become viral. There is so much good about individuals and organisations but we are not encouraged to say good things about others because of the negative side of the monkey see, monkey do concept. It appears that negative news sell fast and is more interesting. Do we want a negative society? Do we want people to stop spreading gossip and rumours about you? If not, then start with you by not enabling this kind of behaviour. Maybe others will follow suit. It is really amazing that most times

we hear positive things about others is during a funeral or a memorial service after someone dies. Why don’t we make this type of behaviour a part of our culture all of the time? If we say something positive, then we can uplift and encourage others. Because of the negative society, many people are afraid to venture into their calling because they are discouraged. However, we are spending most of our time tearing each other down especially if we do not agree with their opinions. We are setting a wrong example for our future generation as they will behave the way they see their friends, parents and others behave. Therefore we must lead by example

because monkey see, monkey do. Perhaps this is why some of our young people are out of control today. They see gangs being formed in other societies and they are doing the same thing here in the TCI, shooting and killing one another.

I am quite sure they cannot even tell you why they are doing what they are doing. They are just doing what they see others do. Given the fact that some behaviours are learned by doing what we see others do, we have an opportunity to change the behaviours of our society by our own actions. We can use the monkey see, monkey do concept to undo some of this evil and negative stuff that is taking place in our society. Stop engaging and promoting the negative information by not commenting or forwarding and hopefully people will realise you are not interested in that type of information and will discontinue.

Believe it or not COMMENTARY

GLOBAL warming is an issue demanding attention. The United Nations is behind it. Huge amounts of money are being granted to all types of private and public firms who agree with the idea that mankind, not nature, is causing what is believed to be the possible increase of the average earth temperature. Some scientific studies do not agree with these theories. It is up to the citizens to believe it or not. Many believe the global warming movement is part of a worldwide political ploy to create a one world economy. Putting worldwide energy production under a single (possibly renewable) power grid could be the first step to world communism. Protests in the hot summer

months are the first step to that end. Our own little power company has changed its policies. Not long ago FortisTCI was against producing power via renewable sources, solar and wind. Now they plan renewables. Our closest mainland power firm Florida Power and Light now has hundreds of acres of solar panels. The combined output of this massive installation provides only five percent of their power production.

Ninety-five percent of their electricity is provided by generators run on compressed natural gas and atomic energy. The global warming folks are against nuclear despite the fact that the sun, a nuclear reaction, is the source of all the world’s energy. Recently millions of children, including pre to post high school people, have been protesting around the world for the global warming issue. They want adults to join in and

do - something! Meanwhile politicians are trying to pass laws to stop these same youngsters from using electronic vapour cigarettes and illegal opioids. Millions of kids are smart enough to understand global warming but not the dangers of personal drug use. Children live on their computer or phones that preach big brother’s agenda! Take away their phones? Our satellites are now able to identify the smallest storm anywhere in the world. We now name and track every sneeze that’s out there. This might bring more attention but not more real hurricanes. Attempts to use renewables as the sole power source have caused economic disasters. Ask Germany. The USA Democratic and UK Labour parties have taken the lead in socialistic movement. Democrats claim all fossil fuels

will be gone in 10 years. Planes will be grounded. Ships docked. Cars, trucks and trains parked and only enough solar and wind powered electricity will be left to run communications. One Democrat presidential candidate wants car production for private use stopped immediately. More people require more energy. Seemingly Democrats’ prescriptions for halting the need for more power is more abortions? Why not just stop sex? China’s population centuries ago was in a la-la land of opium use. Perhaps opioids are now everyone’s future. Specialists now freshly claim they have developed a modern coal power plant which could be the world’s cleanest energy source. Believe it or not.

The changing nature of politics

IN RECENT times politics seems to have undergone a sea change in the way it is conducted. In earlier times politicians and their supporters, particularly in the Turks and Caicos Islands, carried out their trade with decency and dignity. There was no serious castigation of opponents, no disruption of meetings and no disrespect shown to candidates. A politician and later a political party would have a meeting, opposing political forces would attend and in many instances would have a drink together. Even now, during breaks in meetings of the Turks and Caicos Islands House of Assembly, Government and Opposition members would meet around the table for a bite, without malice. The Turks and Caicos Islands can be said to have some of the

But in some countries of our region and even in some so-called developed countries, the practice of

Unite for the advancement of the TCI Dear Editor, If there is ever a time that Turks and Caicos Islanders needed to come together, now would be that time. The traditional political party as we know it seems to be destroying us and keeping us apart as a people. Every four years, citizens exercise their right to vote for the politicians who they believe are the best candidates to represent us and make decisions in the best interests of our country. These politicians promise that they will address the relevant issues that are plaguing our country. However, after a particular party has been elected it seems as if these promises that were made in their manifesto never seem to come to fruition. I strongly believe that the four-year electoral process should be delayed for a period while we focus on addressing the issues that are impacting our people and our country. I believe if our political parties were to unite and pool their resources then these issues would have a higher probability of being resolved. However, we continue to fight amongst ourselves about the various political parties while our contemporaries are being promoted, opening successful businesses and prospering economically. It is time for us to elect officials who have the best interests of the TCI at the forefront and are dedicated

to ensuring that indigenous Turks and Caicos Islanders are no longer disenfranchised in our own country. As matter of priority I believe that the following issues should be addressed immediately (this list is not exhaustive): -Securing our borders to minimise the influx of illegal immigrants -Crime is rampant in our country as never before. We need a robust plan to grow our police force to be able to combat crime. -Enforcing, protecting and creating additional classes of reserved business licence categories for Turks and Caicos Islanders and enacting laws to ensure access to funding is available. -Job placement and advancement available for qualified Turks and Caicos Islanders -Laws and policies defining the criteria for importing used materials and equipment and the proper disposal of hazardous material. I would like to encourage the honourable premier and honourable leader of the Opposition to consider working together to remedy the issues impacting the country and to enact laws and policies to protect Turks and Caicos Islanders. Let us unite for the advancement of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Sincerely, Charles Palmer

politics leaves much to be desired. We hear about terms such as ‘fake news’ designed to block the truth and envelope it in a smokescreen of confusion, which results in uncertainty among citizens concerning the policies certain candidates would pursue. Politics should enlighten, not confuse or be filled with ambiguity about what is really meant. In countries that developing countries look to for political

guidance and as a model of ‘political correctness’ we now see traditions being challenged and often disregarded. There is a disrespect for legal customs and procedures, and the use of position power to engage in unlawful acts. They use the institutions of authority to undermine the opposition or to create a scenario of situations that does not exist and use this as a device to have their way. Most strikingly we see aid to a country being withheld on condition that the country involved provides information on political opponents in the country providing the aid. Political campaigns seem to have become more international in seeking support rather than being confined to the local political arena, and ‘dirtying up’ opponents for political advantage has replaced an intelligent presentation of the issues.

Politics is supposed to be about realising noble ends for a country and its people. It is about growing and preserving institutions which operate for the good of the public. It is concerned with economic growth and social and cultural development, and preserving what is good. It cherishes what has worked in promoting what is ethical and virtuous, and aims at creating a society of equals. Politics transforms institutions by making them more moral, enabling them to operate with decency, so that a positive image of the country is projected, making it a model for what good practice is. With good politics, we have good laws and a respected community, which brings out the best in all of us.

Where are the promised youth policies? BY JAMELL ROBINSON WITH youth week upon us under the theme ‘Igniting the youth to ignite the future’ the question must be asked, where are all the promised youth policies by our current administration? With so many unfulfilled promises it makes you wonder exactly what we are igniting and how exactly are we going to ignite the youth for the future. Many of the promises are great and actionable ideas, but where are they? Where is the National Youth Policy that was last updated when Dr Carlton Mills was minister of education? Where is the Jobs Policy and ministerial portfolio with named responsibility for job creation? Where is the Progressive Youth Development for Real Change as stated in pillar four of the Change Document? Where are the targeted programmes to encourage youth entrepreneurship which was to ensure real access to start up and expansive capital? Where is the Youth - Better You

BY JAMELL ROBINSON programme that was to have at its heart national volunteer service? Where is the policy to ensure that youths of national age are allowed to serve on national boards which will allow them to have exposure to decision making at that level? Where is the creative arts programme that would encourage youth creativity? Where are the forged partnerships with the private sector to ensure that opportunities and programmes are in place for our youth? Where are the partnerships which

would ensure placement of youth on jobs in the public and private sector especially those students returning from training overseas? What’s surprising is that many of the above promises were also outlined in the 2012 PDM manifesto, The Blue Print, so it is reasonable to think that seven years later, many promises would have been started if not fully implemented, especially given our premier’s long history with youth activism. This administration’s stated philosophy in regard to our youth is as follows: “Our philosophy is that in order for the youth to become leaders of tomorrow, they must be co-leaders of today. “It is important that we create opportunities where they can serve and develop their talents, skills and identity.” There is a clear disconnect between what was promised the youth of this country and what has been implemented in the past three years of this administration. At a time when gun violence has taken the lives of so many of our young men, we, the people, expect action and not a ‘bag a mouth’.

Opposition leader dubs power cost hike inquiry a ‘farce’ BY OLIVIA ROSE LEADER of the Opposition Hon. Washington Misick has called a recent independent inquiry into FortisTCI’s application for electricity rate increases a “farce”. He said he believes the Government had already reached a decision on the utility company’s request, prior to the governor commissioned review. In response, Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson said the Government was historically against a rate hike and claimed the Opposition is trying to “muddy the facts”. She added that no decision has formally been made as to any increase in rates. At a press conference on September 18, Misick said: “I think this whole issue about the price increase was only a farce because the Government had an agreement before and they had to go down this long road to prove a point but that was agreed since the 2017 hurricanes.” Misick, who has staunchly opposed the electricity cost increase, insinuated that the company should consider scaling back its expenditure instead of increasing the burden on its consumers. “We notice the price of electricity is about to go up, I don’t really think there’s sufficient policing over what Fortis is doing,” he said. “I personally think it’s a moral disaster for them to invest that kind of money in what is probably the most luxurious building on the highway, and the gardens and stuff is more luxurious than any hotel in this

response to Misick’s remarks said the Opposition is trying to “muddy the facts”.

PNP is not being sued right now, deputy leader says

E Jay Saunders, Deputy Leader of the PNP

THE PROGRESSIVE National Party (PNP) is not being sued by any of its members. This message that was conveyed to the public on Wednesday, September 18, by Deputy Leader of the party E Jay Saunders during a press conference at Progress House in Providenciales. Saunders insisted that no litigation has been filed against party. The deputy leader was referring to threats of a lawsuit made by the PNP’s sitting member of parliament Hon. George Lightbourne in early September. The elected member has accused the party of illegal and unconstitutional acts to secure the leadership for former chief minister

Hon. Washington Misick. Lightbourne insists that Misick’s entrance into the leadership race back in March was done without due consideration to the provisions of the party constitution, making his election as leader of the PNP illegal. Also considered illegal by Lightbourne is the appointed of Saunders as deputy leader. “Even though a member of the Progressive National Party has questions about the convention… and it is his right to challenge this in court, there is no pending litigation. “No pending litigation, as far as I know, the most it’s been is probably threatened litigation,” the deputy leader stated last week. Saunders was particularly

annoyed with the local press which had reported on Hon. Lightbourne’s intentions to sue the PNP. “For those in the press that’s been pushing that this is a case that the Progressive National Party is facing pending litigation, that is actually wrong,” a visibly upset Saunders said. The deputy leader is of the view that the media was not fair in its reporting on the issue, calling for everyone to be held accountable and to the same standard. Meanwhile, the disgruntled party member, Hon. Lightbourne continues to maintain that he intends to sue the PNP, although nothing has been filed with the local courts to date.

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson (second left) and other regional leaders during the Clinton Global Initiative panel discussion

Premier joins regional leaders in New York for post-disaster recovery talks THE TCI always takes a “proactive approach” to disaster recovery, Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson told other Caribbean leaders during a dedicated conference in New York this week. Carefully planned preparedness strategies, a strong economy and open communication from quick responding utility service providers are all vital, she explained in a panel discussion. The Clinton Foundation Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Action Network brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to focus efforts on putting people first on Tuesday (September 24). Discussions at the Clinton Foundation offices included prioritising a resilient future by helping communities to plan and prepare for future storms and the mounting effects of climate change.

The convening of the network followed last June’s meeting in the US Virgin Islands and called on members of government, private sector and non-profits to continue work started in 2018 in response to hurricanes Maria and Irma. During the event members discussed progress made on their first initiatives and with the recent relief and recovery efforts in the aftermath of hurricane Dorian’s impact on the Bahamas. It outlined the continued need to foster economic growth in the Caribbean that is sustainable and climate-shock resistant. Speakers shared ongoing efforts in the Caribbean to fortify its future in the face of climate change while inspiring new, specific and measurable ways to contribute to progress. Panellists, including Premier

Cartwright Robinson, were asked questions on disaster management and post-disaster recovery plans. They were asked to share information with other Caribbean country representatives on different methodologies, planned initiatives, policies and strategies to mitigate disasters and minimise the overall recovery time after a major natural disaster. Premier Cartwright Robinson spoke on TCI’s recovery process post category five hurricane Irma in 2017, according to a statement from the Premier’s Office. She accredited the minimised recovery time to carefully planned preparedness strategies that would be active in a state of emergency like that of a natural disaster, a strong economy and open communication from quick responding utility service providers.

She said: “The Turks and Caicos maintaining insurance protection via its Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility demonstrates the proactive approach we have taken to manage the contingent risks posed by climate change - it proved beneficial after the passage of the storms.” She stressed that the TCI’s prudent fiscal policies enabled the territory to maintain its Standard and Poor’s sovereign rating of BBB+. This she said is an economic indicator of the TCI’s strong fiscal position and a reflection of the territory’s ability to economically withstand the effects of a large scale natural disaster. “Our economic position further enabled my Government to provide direct assistance to Turks and Caicos Islanders in bearing the financial burden of repairs in the short term by waiving both the customs import

duty and customs processing fees on items needed for home repairs and over the long term to potential and existing property owners through a Homeowners Empowerment Policy.” She added that the TCI Government continues to invest in resilient infrastructure and critical facilities following 2017 and well into the future. With climate change making hurricanes and other natural disasters increasingly powerful and destructive, the Clinton Global Initiative aims to help build a more resilient region that is better prepared to respond to future storms and natural disasters. Tuesday’s seminar featured a private roundtable discussion with former president of the United States of America and founder of the network, Bill Clinton.

YOUNG amateur filmmakers from across the Caribbean are invited to enter a competition to have their movie featured at the inaugural Turks and Caicos International Film Festival. In a statement issued on September 16, Digicel asked directors and producers to submit their films for the recently launched Digicel Youth Pan Caribbean Film Competition. The festival, which kicks off on November 15, is geared at raising awareness about the environment as well as the Caribbean film industry. Addison Stoddard, CEO of Digicel TCI said: “In the Caribbean, with so many small island nations, we’re on the frontline of climate

change and over the past few years hurricanes Maria, Irma and, most recently, Dorian, have had a direct impact on the way we all go about our daily lives. “This festival and the amateur film competition is a great way to digitally showcase the stories we have to tell and draw attention to some of the major issues at hand.” Submissions for the competition are open to all Caribbean nationals and there are four categories for entry, based on the entrant’s age. For those aged 13 and under and 14 to 17, they each have a chance to win a brand new phone and to have their film featured on Digicel’s website and social media pages

within their respective countries. For entrants in the 18 to 20 and 21 and over categories they could win a round-trip flight to and accommodation in the TCI for the festival where their film will be shown. They will also receive an allaccess pass to enjoy all the events, a brand new phone and $1,000. Films are to be no longer than 10 minutes long and subtitled in English if containing dialogue in another language. In May, Digicel’s chief speed officer Usain Bolt visited the TCI to launch the festival and advocate for telling meaningful stories through film.

TCI NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING S U M M A R Y

Director of Public Prosecutions Eugene Otuonye QC speaks at Argentine conference

DPP joins thousands for prosecutors’ conference in South America DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions Eugene Otuonye QC joined a gathering of thousands of public prosecutors from around the world in South America this September. The 24th Annual Conference and Meeting of the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from September 15 to 19. Otuonye was specially invited to make a presentation to attendees during the event. “It was such an honour to make presentation and in the process introduce the TCI as ‘beautiful by nature’ to such a high-profile global stage,” he said. “It was also a unique opportunity to network and establish relationships with prosecutors from different parts of the world who possess cuttingedge specialties, expertise and experiences from whom we can easily draw assistance in times of needs.”

The conference offered a platform to showcase the IAP’s Prosecutors’ Exchange Programme by which prosecutorial skills, expertise, best practices and benchmarking are exchanged among members. The TCI Office of the DPP recently benefitted from this programme with the placement of a specialist prosecutor from Scotland for six weeks with financial sponsorship from Scotland Government and the Commonwealth Secretariat, London. The theme of this year’s conference was, ‘International cooperation across different legal systems’. Through plenaries, workshops and special interest group sessions, the conference deliberated on wideranging issues and challenges facing prosecutors worldwide. The conference largely focused on dismantling the barriers to international cooperation among prosecutorial and investigative

agencies. This will “facilitate effective investigations and successful prosecutions of national and trans-national organised crimes that threaten the security and the economic, social and political wellbeing of peoples across the globe”, a Government press release said on Wednesday (September 25). These crimes include fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption, human trafficking and associated offences, firearms-related crimes, terrorism and financing of terrorism, among others. The IAP was established in 1995 in Vienna, Austria, under the auspices of the United Nations as the first and only worldwide organisation of prosecutors. Today, the IAP has organisational and individual membership of more than 300,000 prosecutors from over 177 different countries and territories.

and the Government.” She reminded that the public was also invited to weigh in and make recommendations during the hearings which would be included in the final report. The premier made it clear that there is no agreement as to a rate and she denied her Government’s participation in any “farce”. “The Opposition is trying to muddy the facts and it must be made clear that the only reason this matter went to an inquiry is because the Government refused to agree it when the application was made. “I need not defend the governor or the inquirer who had control at different times of the independent process. Shame on the Opposition,” the premier said. RATE HIKE APPLICATION On Wednesday, July 11, 2018,

FortisTCI submitted a rate variation application to the Government. According to FortisTCI CEO Eddinton Powell, the company’s financial position was weakened by the cost of the restoration of electricity following hurricanes Irma and Maria. He stated that the company’s total expenditure was $63 million, and that the TCI branch bore the entire cost of the restoration for the Islands after the 2017 hurricanes. The initial application asked the Government to make regulations to increase the tariff of rates to customers by an average of 6.8 percent with immediate effect. The proposed rate increase is broken down by customer class as follows: 5.5 percent to 5.7 percent increase in tariff of rates for residential customers, and 7.9 percent increase in tariff of rates

for all other customer categories. The company’s shocking request which ignited a countrywide debate was met with fierce opposition from the Government. The company then applied to the former governor John Freeman for a variation of the prescribed rate of tariffs under section 40 of the Electricity Ordinance. In May 2019, Jamaican regulatory expert J Paul Morgan was appointed by Freeman to conduct an inquiry into the reasonableness of the proposed variation. The Weekly News recently learned that the inquiry into the cost of supplying electricity was completed and the 6.8 percent increase in charges was determined “reasonable”. It is now up to the Government to decide if it will approve the request.

A TEAM of international experts made presentations on illegal migration, violent crime and the National Security Strategy at the latest meeting of the TCI National Security Council (NSC). Governor Nigel Dakin and Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson co-chaired the meeting on Wednesday, September 18, at the Hilly Ewing Building in Providenciales. In attendance as members were Hon. Vaden Delroy Williams, Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services, Deputy Governor Anya Williams, Attorney General Rhondalee Brathwaite Knowles, Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting. Visitors from the UK government, US Coast Guard and the Superintendent of HM Prison Grahame Hawkings were invited to make presentations. A statement from the Governor’s Office on Tuesday (July 24) said that at this meeting the NSC was: -Updated by the British Charge d’Affaires based in Haiti on the current situation in Haiti, in particular the security and economic situation; domestic and international partner activity and public messaging to stem illegal migration. -Updated by the US Coast Guard based in Bahamas on their work in the region to tackle illicit activity including illegal immigration and human trafficking from Haiti and current and potential areas of further collaboration with TCI agencies. -Updated by the UK defence attaché for the Caribbean and overseas territories on current and potential international agreements which underpin multi-country collaboration to tackle illicit activity, including illegal migration. Also UK capabilities within the region, activity carried out and initiatives going forward. -Updated by the representative leading on TCI issues in the UK Foreign Office on existing and potential support the UK can offer in support of a new TCI National Security Strategy. -Updated by the superintendent of HM Prison on number of issues, operational needs of the prison and mitigation of related challenges. -Updated by the commissioner of police on a reduction of crimes following recent gun related murders, ongoing cases, resourcing and operational issues. -Updated by the Hon Minister for Immigration on the reduction of sloop arrivals from Haiti and abuse of immigration rules. -Presented by the governor and the premier a draft National Security Strategy (NSS) which aims to ensure the country is more resilient to natural disasters and strengthens its ability to tackle illegal migration including human trafficking and overstayers. A more in-depth discussion was had on the key components of the NSS, its underlying structures and governance, a secretariat to deliver the strategy, the establishment of a central mechanism for managing information and multi-agency collaboration. -In agreement with the overarching purpose of the NSS, the issues covered in the draft and agreed on next steps including consultation with the Joint Law Enforcement Team (JLET), leader of the Opposition, stakeholders, Cabinet and the National Security Advisory Group.

Government bench in the House of Assembly prepares to debate independence

NEWS 17

The Opposition bench stands before the exciting debate in Grand Turk

Young people debate independence in parliament PASSIONATE young adults took to Grand Turk to debate a hot button issue during the National Youth Parliament which sat on Wednesday (September 25). The mock Government and Opposition gathered in the House

of Assembly for the session which asked the question, should the TCI should take political independence from the UK forthwith? Governor Nigel Dakin, Speaker Dwayne Taylor, the Acting Premier Hon Vaden Williams, Minister for

Education Hon. Karen Malcolm and Leader of the Opposition Hon. Washington Misick made brief remarks before opening the debate. On his Instagram page following the session, the governor said there was a “great deal of intellect, passion

Members of the National Youth Parliament with Speaker Dwayne Taylor (centre sitting)

and hard work represented in the chamber”. While he was unable to attend the full debate he said he was left with the impression the thrust of the debate was not questioning the inevitability of independence.

“The argument turned around timing - the word ‘forthwith’ and therefore the preconditions required for TCI to be confident it could step forward on its own and prosper.” He added: “As an aside the UK’s Brexit is a masterclass on how difficult major constitutional change is when a country is divided around a single issue; indeed Brexit has exacerbated national, regional and party political division plus stretched family relationships and friendships. “Part of the skill therefore of any future independence debate (whenever that occurs) is ensuring the country moves forward as united as it can be. “Starting a new independent future, but thoroughly divided as a country from the outset, wouldn’t be ideal.” He added: "For clarity the UK’s position is it supports selfdetermination. TCI is presently part of the UK family because it wants to be. “If a majority in TCI change their view on this, the UK will of course support independence.” The TCI National Youth Parliament is a non-partisan initiative aimed at providing youths from across territory with a forum to express their views, network and debate issues of concern in the House of Assembly. The youth parliament connects young people with local, national and international decision-making structures to allow them to influence and make the link to democracy and politics.

Volunteers from across the TCI join forces to clear the coast of rubbish

Hundreds clear trash from TCI’s coast A COLOSSAL 594 bags of rubbish were gathered during a huge national clear up of the territory’s waters and coastal areas this month. On Saturday, September 14, 401 people took part in International Coastal Cleanup Day in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The activity was hosted by the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR) with support the Turks and Caicos National Trust. DECR’s environmental outreach coordinator Amy Avenant said the department was grateful for the communities’ responses to this year’s initiative. “We are encouraged by both the increase in communities who have decided to take matters into their own hands by arranging their own community clean-ups, and seeing a noticeable decrease in the amount of plastic litter, particularly plastic bags, around the Islands. “We hope to see International Coastal Cleanup Day continue to grow to be one of the largest annual, environmental calendar events in the TCI.”

The event was open to everyone, and participants from all circles of the community signed up to keep the TCI ‘beautiful by nature’. Thirty-three organisations and numerous individuals took to beach accesses, bushes, roads and of course the beach for several hours, tidying up any litter and other debris they found. A department press release on September 19 said: “The DECR would like to thank the TCI National Trust, and the hundreds of volunteers who donated supplies and time, woke up early and got their hands dirty. “This year’s collaboration with the National Trust surely helped spread the word of the clean-up and ensured that communities from all walks, across all islands, were informed and got involved.” International Coastal Cleanup Day is one of the world’s largest annual preservation and protection events and volunteer efforts for our ocean, waves and beaches. It is a global movement that encompasses 6 million volunteers in 90 countries and across the United States.

THE SALT CAY NOTE

Rough seas and the happiness that dwells in the soul IT COULD have been a scene from a comedy, describing life on a very small island. A Sunday afternoon. I am on my way to Deane’s Dock when I spot the captain of the ‘Brittany Leigh’. My link (and that of all other Salt Cay residents) to the rest of the world- Grand Turk. “I am off to Grand Turk BY TITUS DE BOER tomorrow to meet Mr Titus was born in Hamburg and has lived in the Turks and Soandso.” Caicos Islands since 1989. “Oh yeah,” replies the He works as a general business captain, “how’re you gonna consultant and has been based in Salt Cay since 2016. get there?” For a fraction of a second I think he’s making a joke. He looks perfectly healthy, the boat hasn’t sunk, and then I realise he’s dead serious. This is shortly thereafter is confirmed by, “We’re not going anywhere tomorrow. Rough seas. It’ll probably stay like this till Friday.” What follows is a typical Salt Cay moment. Instead of bemoaning the fact that he can’t sail the next morning, he looks out at the waves crashing, with the late afternoon sun giving them a turquoise luminance and exclaims, “But it is really beautiful, isn’t it?” What more is there to say, really? By Friday the seas have calmed down and we sail for the nation’s capital. Suddenly, on our return trip to Salt Cay, I have an epiphany: Here are all the familiar characters enjoying the commute back to their beloved island. Each one of them lost in his/her thoughts but so obviously content to be going back home to the ‘island that time forgot’. And as the vessel is gently rocked by the waves of the increasingly warm, majestic late summer seas, one can’t help but notice the genuine happiness of the fellow passengers. The ship’s mates, who by now are having a cheerful banter with some of the older gents, some of the younger island entrepreneurs discussing progress at the airport, the elderly ladies having an animated chat about this day’s retail experience in the nation’s capital. Here is a boat full of unquestionably content people. The Greek philosopher Democritus once wrote: “Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.” He might as well have been writing about Salt Cay. For here is the key- forgive the pun. Whereas Providenciales residents, by the sheer, fast paced nature of the busy environment they live in, appear to be chasing ‘the big bucks’ constantly, the emphasis on Salt Cay is placed more on living life (admittedly a very simple life) to the fullest and to never lose that sense of admiration and awe for one’s natural surroundings. In Salt Cay, happiness truly dwells in the souls- of its people.

FortisTCI rep talks renewable energy at US forum ONE of FortisTCI’s employees gave a “masterful presentation” at a renewable energy conference in Florida this September. TeAnn Thomas, resource planning and utility analytics officer, told attendees the challenge to utility companies lies in balancing low cost and reliability while enhancing resiliency. This year’s Carilec Renewable Energy and Smart Grid Conference and Tradeshow was held in Miami from September 15 to 19. The conference was hosted under the theme, ‘Rethinking resilience in an era of disruption’ and brought together utility professionals, regulators and government representatives from across North America and the Caribbean. Thomas, alongside Rocky Mountain Institute Associate Sydney Jules, took to the stage as the youngest presenters to talk about the TCI’s Resilient National Energy Transition Strategy (R-NETS). The pair provided an overview of R-NETS, which calls for the integration of more solar PV over the next 22 years, a company press release said on Wednesday (September 25). They also spoke about the importance of the Government, the utility, and other major stakeholders coming together to create a shared vision for the territory’s energy future. Thomas explained how FortisTCI recovered in record-breaking time following hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. “Resilience requires costly upfront investments and system redundancies in order to restore electricity service and get the economy going as quickly as possible following natural disasters,” she stated. She added: “There is a growing requirement to balance both least-

cost and reliability, while enhancing resiliency of electricity systems must start at the planning stage and take a phased approach that allows flexibility of resources, ensures system hardening and minimises fuel volatility risks, especially for heavily dependent small island nations.” Thomas currently serves as a member of Women in Renewable Energy (WIRE) Network. She joined FortisTCI in 2014 and in 2018 earned a Master’s Degree in Development Economics from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, through the company’s employee scholarship programme. In May 2019 she was promoted to her current role. FortisTCI president and CEO Eddinton Powell said: “TeAnn’s masterful presentation, which was well received by the conference

attendees, underscored her outstanding preparation and the depth of her knowledge of the subject matter. “She did herself, FortisTCI and the Turks and Caicos Islands proud and I am pleased to commend her once again on a job well done.” Powell, who is also chairman of Carilec, offered welcoming remarks at the opening of the conference, and Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, US Virgin Islands’ House representative, made the keynote address. Serving as a part of the TCI’s delegation and representing FortisTCI, senior director of corporate communications Talisha Simons and Alden Smith, technical consultant of engineering, transmission and distribution standards, and sister island operations, were also in attendance.

Charity walk aims to raise $20k for National Cancer Society CIBC FirstCaribbean’s eight annual ‘Walk for the Cure’ aims to raise a massive $20,000 for cancer treatment and awareness in the TCI. This announcement was made by country manager Larry Lawrence at the official event launch on Friday (September 20) at the bank’s Grace Bay branch. This year the walk will get underway on Saturday, October 5, at 5.30am. Walkers will trek from IGA Gourmet in Grace Bay to the International School Roundabout and back. Lawrence said: “Walk for the Cure is our way of actively answering the call for increased awareness and care of family and community members

fighting cancer. “Our supporters who walk with us every year help draw attention to the work of the Cancer Society as an organisation dedicated to providing cancer care, awareness and prevention. “Our staff across the 16 regional territories where we have a presence, including TCI, have demonstrated their commitment to the cause by quietly planning and executing a range of creative and innovative fundraising efforts from early this year. “Every year we try to raise more than the previous one, as we know every dollar helps our regional caregivers in their monumental

mission to give the best care and support possible to the many cancer patients who need their help.” Lawrence said he believes this year’s Walk for the Cure will not only meet but surpass the target of $20,000. He said that attendees will enjoy “a festive atmosphere filled with music, food, refreshments, fellowship and health educational opportunities.” Earlier this year the bank donated $15,000 to the National Cancer Society from their seventh annual Walk for the Cure. Rosemary Jolly, president of the National Cancer Society and yearly beneficiary of charity walk’s funds, was also present at the launch.

CIBC FirstCaribbean managing director (Bahamas and TCI) Marie Rodland-Allen, Bahamas Red Cross president Terez Curry, and CIBC FirstCaribbean CEO and ComTrust chair Colette Delaney

Bank donates $100k to hurricane ravaged Bahamas FIRSTCARIBBEAN International Bank has donated $100,000 to aid in hurricane relief efforts in the Bahamas. The cash was handed over to Bahamas Red Cross president Terez Curry at the charity’s headquarters last week, a statement from the bank said. Colette Delaney, CIBC FirstCaribbean chief executive officer and chair of the bank’s charitable arm the FirstCaribbean International ComTrust Foundation, made the donation. She said: “Your pain and loss here is equally ours because we’re a part of this community and we remain deeply committed to the Bahamas. “Together we will rebuild and heal. Rest assured, Bahamas, that we’re with you and we’re with you for the long haul.” The donation was part of a larger contribution of $150,000 made by CIBC as a whole. Bahamas Red Cross’s Curry said: “CIBC FirstCaribbean has been a corporate partner with the Red Cross over the years, and has come to our aid with donations for the many hurricanes we’ve had in previous years. “We’ve all seen the heart-breaking devastation on the islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama, in which we’ve seen lives lost, homes destroyed, and people’s daily lives completely disrupted. “However, we are a resilient people, and those affected islands

will be back up and running in short time. “We are partnering with our global network of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies who are here to support and assist us in this effort. “Together we are rolling out a major humanitarian effort, and it is with corporate partners and donors that we are able to carry out our mandate to alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found and to provide humanitarian aid to everyone.” During the donation, Delaney named a series of initiatives that FirstCaibbean International Bank has undertaken to help victims of the hurricane. “We have an unwavering commitment to our staff and clients in the Caribbean,” she said, “and we’re determined to do all we can to facilitate them as they rebuild their lives, homes and businesses. “We’ve put together a suite of special loans, deferred payments and other concessions aimed at helping our staff, retail and corporate clients, credit card holders and other Bahamians who qualify to receive this special financial assistance. “We’ve also partnered with the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, to offer immediate support to 17 students from the Abaco islands and Grand Bahama whose lives were upended by the storm, but who will still travel to the campus in Barbados to commence their studies.”

The colours of fall

HERE we are, the first week of fall. It is mesmerising to watch the swathes of green trees fade away replaced by dazzling amber, maroon, gold and bronze hues. The beautiful mountain countryside turns into magical forest, people go and pick up their pumpkins for Halloween and apples to make apple pie. Coming from Canada, I remember those days, it really is beautiful. It happens for two or three weeks and then no more leaves on trees and you know winter will soon be there for months. Brrrr. Here in the Turks and Caicos Islands it is very hot and humid at this time of the year, but soon evenings will start to get cooler and it will be time to start our vegetable gardens. GROWING VEGETABLE AND HERBS The first thing you have to know is that you have to throw out all the advice you get in gardening catalogues when you grow fruit, vegetables and herbs in the TCI - it is much more challenging to garden here. There are five important principles to remember when setting up a vegetable garden on island. First, our soil is terrible for growing and everything depends on how good the soil is. We are not in north Florida here. In order to grow well you need about 16 inches of good soil and manure, so a raised bed is a necessity. Second, sunlight is mandatory, but here in the Islands the sun can be brutal so it’s better to plant where it is partially shaded.

But don’t plant your tomatoes in a place that shades all day (or most of the day) - you still need some sunlight. Growing lettuce, cherry tomatoes, eggplants and hot peppers is somewhat easy. They grow easily from seed and the gardener can replant them until about mid-April. Most peas, however, must be cooler at night or they won’t germinate. Don’t forget that you can eat the delicate pea shoots and flowers in a gourmet salad. Third, avoid salt spray and too much wind. Winter winds in the Islands are often northerly at 20 or 25 miles (or more) per hour. Winds like that can result in leaf fry on tomatoes or peas. Where you place your garden is important. Fourth, pay attention to the seasons. It is difficult to garden in the summer as the temperatures are too high and the sun is too hot for any but the heartiest of plants. Start planting your garden in midOctober and continue through the winter. Rotate your plants. Mulch until a month before it is time to plant. Organic matter ties up the nitrogen in the soil so it should not be applied during planting season. Finally, practice rational gardening. That means plant what you like to eat. Set your garden up the way you want to. Please yourself. Onions, basil, parsley, shallots, oregano, thyme and rosemary all do fine in TCI gardens. Pesky pests can destroy a garden,

I suggested a rainy evening for snail picking. The rogue chickens can be controlled with a fence around the garden. Gardening in the Islands is not for sissies but the gardener ends up with organic, local produce, so the hard work of creating a raised garden is worth it. What is the end of a season for some gardeners is a new one for another gardener. Let me share with you this pasta recipe that I do over and over again. It is so fresh and so much what Italian food is all about: Fresh from the garden. HOT CAPRESE PASTA In a large pot of boiling salted water cook pasta. I like to use bow tie pasta but you can use angel hair as well. In a large frying pan on medium heat, add oil, garlic, hot pepper flakes and cherry tomatoes (small plastic box from the supermarket). Fry until soft and lightly browned. Add a little pasta water and I like to add a little tomato paste and mix it well. I then add the cooked pasta and the mozzarella. Toss gently until the mozzarella starts to melt. Add fresh basil leaves and sea salt. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and place in a serving bowl. So easy, so good and so Italian.

Majority of House now backs Trump’s impeachment proceedings

The prince has been planting trees in Botswana during a tour of southern Africa.

Prince Harry ‘troubled’ by climate change deniers THE Duke of Sussex says there is “a race against time” to halt global warming, adding that he is “troubled” by climate change deniers. “I don’t believe that there’s anybody in this world that can deny science,” he said. He called it “an emergency”, adding “the world’s children are striking” after teenage activist Greta Thunberg led a worldwide protest on Friday. Prince Harry is visiting Botswana as part of a tour of southern Africa. He says it was the place he went to “to get away from it all” after his mother’s death. The duke had visited the country soon after Diana, Princess of Wales, died in August 1997 and had made “some of my closest friends” there.

“Now I feel deeply connected to this place and to Africa,” he said during a visit to the Chobe Tree Reserve The prince helped plant trees at the site, which has been affected by decades of deforestation. “This last week, led by Greta, the world’s children are striking,” the prince said. “It’s a race against time and one in which we are losing. Everyone knows it. “There’s no excuse for not knowing that and the most troubling part of that is that I don’t believe that there’s anybody in this world that can deny science.” He went on to say there had been scientific evidence of climate change for at least 30 years.

Jacques Chirac was a towering figure in French politics for five decades.

Jacques Chirac: Former French president dies at 86 JACQUES Chirac, the former French president who championed the European Union, but whose later years were blighted by corruption scandals, has died aged 86. “President Jacques Chirac died this morning surrounded by his family, peacefully,” his son-in-law told AFP on Thursday. Chirac served two terms as president and twice as PM, and took

France into the single European currency. The French National Assembly observed a minute’s silence in his memory. A towering figure in French politics for five decades, Chirac will be remembered for his opposition to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, his pragmatic statesmanship and his advocacy of the European Union.

IT LOOKS like the Democrats have the numbers. After Wednesday’s transcript summary release of President Trump’s July phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a majority of House members favour impeachment proceedings, a report says. Politico reported that as of Wednesday evening, 217 House Democrats and Pennsylvania Independent Justin Amash now support a presidential impeachment inquiry — 218 members out of the House’s 435.After months of reluctance to instigate proceedings that could ultimately lead to Trump’s White House ouster, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered full inquiry support Wednesday. Among Dems who had previously called for impeachment talks was Rep. Ilhan Omar. “We ran on a promise: to restore power to the people of this country

Latest Brexit twist leaves EU expecting another delay beyond Oct.31 A DAMNING UK Supreme Court ruling against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson this week has rekindled discussion within the European Union about another delay to Brexit, with the bloc drawing a line in the sand of mid-2020 at the latest. The British parliament resumed on Wednesday after the court ruled that the chamber had been unlawfully suspended by Johnson, who insists he will take Britain out of the EU on Oct.31 - with or without a deal to manage the fallout. But British lawmakers reject the most damaging, no-deal Brexit and, back at work, will now have more chance to upset Johnson’s plans. With the divorce deal stalled, the EU is expecting another delay to Britain’s departure date after it was already postponed twice from the original March deadline. “We are in favour of an extension if we also see what is the way forward, will there be a general election, a second referendum, will there be a Withdrawal Agreement,” said Guy Verhofstadt, an EU lawmaker dealing with Brexit. “I think that there is unanimity... to say ‘OK, let’s go forward with an extension if there is a clear path to a solution and unwinding of the situation we have today’,” he told EU lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon. With a national election expected in Britain by the end of the year, the bloc currently sees that as the most

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists he will take Britain out of the EU on Oct.31 - with or without a deal to manage the fallout.

likely justification of anther lag - a decision that would require the unanimity of the 27 states staying on. The problem is, however, that Britain would need to request such an extension, which Johnson vows never to do and EU Brexit watchers speculate about him possibly stepping aside to let someone else make the step. Under the law, the EU could also formally demand a delay - which Britain would need to agree to for it to take effect. But diplomats and officials dealing with Brexit in the bloc’s hub Brussels ruled out such a possibility, saying it would risk feeding Johnson’s rhetoric about distant elites trying to frustrate the will of the people. With many question marks over

the fate of Brexit lingering three years since Britons voted out, EU leaders meeting in Brussels on Oct.17-18 will discuss the desirable length of any such delay. The British prime minister will not be allowed in the room. The House of Commons has passed a law demanding that London seeks a postponement until the end of January 2020 to avoid an abrupt split on Oct.31 should no new divorce deal be reached at the EU summit in three weeks time. “January may be a bit too soon for us,” said one EU diplomat. “It is far from clear that Britain would be able to sort itself out by then and we would risk another summit at the turn of the year to push back another no-deal prospect.”

Messi ‘The Best Player in History,’ Says La Liga President Javier Tebas LA LIGA president Javier Tebas has hailed Lionel Messi after he won The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2019 award on Monday. Per Omnisport (h/t Goal), Tebas said he hopes Messi remains in La Liga for the rest of his career after winning 10 titles with Barcelona since making his senior debut in 2004: “He’s the best player in history. We’re lucky to have him in La Liga. I cannot

imagine a league without Messi. He was born in the Spanish league and I hope he ends [his career] here.” The 32-year-old Argentinian beat Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo to claim FIFA’s top award in Milan.

won the Ballon d’Orâ€”arguably football’s most prestigious individual awardâ€”five times and are the players that have defined their generation. Outside of Messi and Ronaldo, Diego Maradona, Pele and Johan Cruyff are regularly brought into the conversation about the best player ever. Tebas’ preference for Messi is understandable given the impact he has had on La Liga. Due to injury, Messi was only able to make his first start of the 2019-20 season in the Spanish top flight on Tuesday, when Barca picked up a pressure-easing 2-1 home win over Villarreal after their worst La Liga start in 25 years. Antoine Griezmann and Arthur were the goalscorers for the Blaugrana, but the victory was marred by what looked like a fresh injury to Messi, who had to be replaced by Ousmane Dembele at halftime.
