TCI ranked 6th fastest growing vacation destination among US tourists

BY OLIVIA ROSE Despite Covid-19, the Turks & Caicos Islands has been ranked as the 6th fastest growing vacation destination amongst American tourists.

Although many would expect the Coronavirus pandemic, and the news of new variants emerging worldwide to trigger a reduction in travel demand, nothing could be further from the truth for the Turks & Caicos Islands.

A new study by ParkSleepFly. com extrapolated Google search

data for flights, vacations and hotels in popular tourist destinations around the world to discover the fastest growing vacation hotspots for US tourists.

The US travel site revealed that the Turks and Caicos Islands placed 6th in the top 10 countries increasing in popularity amongst American travelers.

It further disclosed google searches for flights to the TCI in 2020 were 196,900 compared to 451,700 in 2021, while vacation searches were 38,400 in 2020 compared to 35,600 in 2021 and

some 216,400 searches for hotel stays were recorded for 2020 compared to 227,800 in 2021.

Gov’t writes off license penalties for cruise industry businesses

BY DELANA ISLES AN OPPORTUNITY to start afresh, a motion to write off of $21,365.50 in business license penalties for cruise industry businesses was recently passed unanimously in parliament.

On Monday, December 13, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon. Erwin Jay Saunders presented the government motion to the House of Assembly.

In his presentation of the motion, Hon. Saunders said the penalties have been assessed and verified as uncollectible.

The write-off applies to businesses registered from 2018 to 2021, and who operate in the following areas, namely: automotive; agriculture, manufacturing and processing; personal care services; transportation services; entertainment, recreation and events; and tourism, real estate and hospitality services.

The write-off is another attempt by the government to assist cruise industry businesses get back on their feet, the minister said.

“In November, our government launched what we called the Cruise Tourism Sector Assistance Programme.

“We did this because we recognize that the tourism sector

here in the nation’s capital needs economic assistance, as a result of it being severely impacted due to the cruise port being shut down due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.”

He added that this limited stimulus was made in order to maintain the industry, and help existing vendors prepare for the revival of the cruise-ship industry, which reopened on December 13.

“To qualify for this stimulus, the applicant must be a Turks and Caicos Islander or British Overseas Territory citizens, or the business must be majority owned by Turks and Caicos Islander(s).

“Let me be clear, this motion is to help Turk and Caicos owned businesses get back on their feet and to go from surviving to thriving.”

The stimulus programme was launched on November 15, and ran until November 26, with applicants having until December 13 to submit all outstanding documentation.

According to the minister, out of the 135 applications received, only 12 (or 9%) were declined, with 74 (or 55%) having already received their approvals.

He added: “In looking at the programme, it was found that while many businesses were able to pay up their business license fees, unfortunately, a significant

number of businesses were and are still unable to do so.

“As a result, penalties have been accruing on a monthly basis at a rate of ten percent for each month, or part of each month, business license fees remain not paid up.”

He stated that in addition, those businesses faced an additional hardship, as their outstanding business license renewal restricted them from applying for the Cruise Tourism Sector Assistance Programme, due to one of the criteria being that businesses show proof that their licenses were paid up.

“To help these businesses, and it is the right thing to do, the people’s government, our government has seen it fit to waive the business license fee penalties.”

Hon. Saunders stated: “By bringing this motion to this honorable house today, our caring government, the people’s government, is giving businesses a fresh start, which as minister of finance, I am honored and happy to do.

“As the guardian of the public’s purse, it is also my moral obligation to always look out for the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

The motion was supported by all members of the House, and was passed after debate.

Lombok, there has been a 61% increase in searches for flights, vacations and hotels in Indonesia this year.

Ranking in second place are the Maldives, the tropical South Asian island, famous for its crystal blue waters and idyllic landscape, is one of the most popular travel destinations for Americans, and Maldives holiday searches increased by 72.32% over the last year.

Gorgeous white beaches and deep blue waters line the coasts of the US Virgin Islands, which may explain why the destination is growing in popularity amongst US tourists, seeing a 98.64% increase in the total number of Google searches for flights, vacations and hotels in the US Virgin Islands, in 2021 compared to 2020.

The research also revealed the top 5 countries decreasing in popularity amongst American tourists.

The biggest decline in vacation popularity amongst Americans can be seen in China.

There has been a 75.03% decrease in Google searches for flights, vacations and hotels in China this year following the emergence of Covid-19 China imposed strict border policy, and suspended all visas on-arrival.

Puerto Rico is the most popular country for Americans searching for vacations with 1.6 million searches in the last 6 months.

Cancun, Mexico is the most indemand city destination with US tourists.

On the other hand, Frankfurt, Germany is the city decreasing in popularity the most amongst US tourists, experiencing a decline of 61.38% between 2020 and 2021.

Corruption erodes trust in Government and undermines economic development – says Premier

BY OLIVIA ROSE Premier Hon. Washington Misick says corruption erodes trust in government and stymies sustainable development and growth in a country.

Misick made these remarks in his message for the observance of International Anti-corruption Day 2021 on December 9.

He said the Turks and Caicos is cognizant of the risks associated with corruption and thus has a robust and effective anti-corruption system with high standards of accountability.

“Corruption erodes trust in government, undermines economic efficiency by stealing away valuable resources, impedes investment and increases inequality and conflict; ultimately, stagnating sustainable development and growth.

“The Turks and Caicos, understanding the tremendous risk attached to noncompliance, has implemented a surveillance and enforcement regime exercised by the Integrity Commission and other public bodies as a powerful defense against potential offenders through certainty of detection,

severity of punishment and swiftness of sentencing.

“I applaud and support the work of the Commission for their efforts in enhancing transparency throughout the public administration in these islands”, he added.

Misick stressed that now more than ever people are using their voices and influence to foster accountability, integrity, and transparency across the world.

He said: “News headlines are overrun with reports of global scandals citing corruption as the core issue”.

The acceleration in these reports involving government institutions, private sector entities, academia and the public at large, he opined, is likely due to a “progressively bolder voice throughout the world with more persons speaking out against injustices, prejudice and abuse of power”.

He said: “The growth in demand for greater transparency in recent years, has galvanized the regulation and enforcement efforts of anticorruption organizations and amplified their global influence.

“Although it is important that

we stamp out corruption, it is equally important that we measure the approach and methods, led by anti-corruption regimes, that promote systemic conformity and target persons in positions of influence for exercising their decision-making rights.

“This model often leads to integrity disparagement and causes irreparable damage, especially in cases where prosecution rules in favour of the defendant”, he added.

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability.

It attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires, whose only reason for existing is the solicitation of bribes.

Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the "start-up costs"

required because of corruption.

On 31 October 2003, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against corruption and requested that the Secretary-General designate the United Nations Office on drugs and crime (UNODC) as secretariat for the Convention’s Conference of States Parties (resolution 58/4).

The Assembly also designated then 9th of December as International Anti-Corruption Day, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it.

The Convention came into force in December 2005.

Governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, the media and citizens around the world are joining forces to fight this crime.

The 2021 International AntiCorruption Day seeks to highlight the rights and responsibilities of everyone - including states, government officials, civil servants, law enforcement officers, media representatives, the private sector, civil society, academia, the public and youth - in tackling corruption.

The theme of the 2021 International Anti-Corruption Day was: “Your right, your role: Say no to corruption”

Bishop Clarence Williams

Church leader convicted of indecent assault BISHOP Clarence Williams, 76, has been found guilty of two counts of indecent assault on an adult male.

The verdict was handed down on Wednesday, December 15, before Judge Tanya LobbanJackson in a Providenciales Supreme Court.

He will return to court for sentencing on January 21, 2022.

Williams was first charged with the offences on August 27, 2019.

He was represented at trial by Queen’s Counsel Jerome Lynch and attorney Mark Fulford.

Williams is the national overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy.

Shortly after he was arrested and charged, the Bishop, through his attorney, had issued a public statement vehemently denying the allegations and charges.

Williams had stated that the allegations were motivated by

blackmail.

A portion of that statement reads: “The credibility of the accuser is suspect, he is of bad character. He is not a stranger to the criminal justice process and has broken the law on many occasions. He has three times been involved with the police.

He has antecedents/previous convictions for dishonesty offences.

“He is making these charges against me for the purposes of blackmail. He had asked for money but I had declined, so he said he was: “going to get me”.

He is attempting to bribe me for the purpose of an attempt at extortion of money. Now due to not giving money to him he is trying to ruin my reputation.

“On the day I appeared in court on Wednesday 4th September, my accuser was also in court answering to another dishonesty offence.”

First to arrive was the ms Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship (Hon. Otis Morris’ photo)

Premier predicts ‘great tourist season’ as he welcomes back cruise ships

BY DELANA ISLES CRUISE travel has returned to the Turks and Caicos Islands much to the relief and delight of many.

On Monday, December 13, government officials, Leader of the Opposition and Carnival Corporation executives gathered at the Grand Turk cruise centre to welcome the ms Nieuw Amsterdam, the first cruise ship to pull into port.

Between December 13 and 20, six cruise ships were approved for entry into port Grand Turk, with seven more approved for the remainder of 2021.

This is according to information posted on the Grand Turk Cruise Centre website.

In January 2022, another 22 ships have been approved for entry into Grand Turk.

Welcoming the return of the lucrative industry was Premier, Hon. Charles Washington Misick: “It looks like we are going to have a packed season, and I think we have learned that man proposes and God disposes so to the extent that the Good Lord will bless us, and keep pandemics and other major external shocks away from our shores, we expect a great, great, great tourists season.”

The Premier said they have more plans in store for Grand Turk: “Part of what the sustainability fund would allow us to do would be to really improve the tourism experience and the experience of those of us who live here.

“Because what we intend to do is to bring Grand Turk back to its glory days by rebuilding our historic districts, making sure we invest heavily into environmental remediation so that we can have an island we can all be proud of in every sense of the word.”

Leader of the Opposition and elected representative for Grand

Turk South, Hon. Edwin Astwood, expressed his gratitude that the cruise industry in the TCI is now back.

“We are so grateful here to see the return of the cruise ship… we are so happy as part of the community of Grand Turk to see some 20 months with half of our population not working, half of our businesses closed down, stores not making money, restaurants not making money, apartments empty, for some 20 months it was hard.

“But now I hope that is over and we can move forward.”

He thanked all those who made the return possible and urged visitors to the island to respect the people, their customs, and the territory’s Covid-19 protection protocols.

David Candib, Vice President at Carnival Corporation also brought remarks, speaking to the oncoming developments for the Grand Turk Cruise Centre and the work it took to get the industry back up and running.

“Just two months ago today, October 13, we signed the supplemental development agreement.

“Based upon your [government] partnership with our team we progressed, we worked around the clock, so the arrival today of the Nieuw Amsterdam is only possible from the incredible work that all of the community, our team, partners, tour operators… it has been made possible within 60 days, an incredible accomplishment,” Candib said.

He added that this is just the start.

In October, the government signed a $25 million agreement with Carnival Corporation for the extension of the dock facility and improvements to the reception facility at the cruise centre.

Why scientists, politicians should stop blaming the unvaccinated for their failures The world over is on edge, and it has become a frighteningly dangerous place to live.

Politicians are instilling fear through heartless, notorious Covid-19 policies and laws.

Behind the scenes, scientists engage in unethical practices and, seemingly, Big Pharma is working alongside these forces to acquire huge financial profits.

Incipiently, the vaccines were rushed for all the wrong reasons.

Today, those inadquacies and vaccine ineffectiveness are hurting both vaccinated and unvaccinated in communities worldwide. Hence, the resistence.

Yet, governments, scientists and other interest groups are hiding their response flaws and vaccine failures and having

the world believe that the unvaccinated are the problem.

While they're publicising unvaccinated deaths, those of the vaccinated are shrouded in secrecy, except if you're Colin Powell, a prominent figure.

Meanwhile, the new Omicron variant has surfaced and it is spreading from its origin in South Africa to the world, and who are

they blaming? The unvaccinated!

Resultantly, US President Joe Biden has imposed stricter travel restrictions and banned all flights from Africa's southern nations.

Since then, Europe has followed suit.

Responding to these global restrictions is South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa, who said that these impulsive actions are "completely unjustified and unfairly descriminating against South Africans."

This prohibition is not informed by science, nor is it effective in containing the disease. It will further damage the economies of respective countries and undermine their ability to respond and recover

from the pandemic, he touted!

Back in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel is threatening the unvaccinated with laws, which will force them to take the vaccines, and spouted the idea of an imminent lockdown for the unvaccinated, allowing only the vaccinated to move freely.

If I had the opportunity, I'd ask these politicians and scientists one simple question: "considering that the unvaccinated is restricted, and the travel gates are opened solely to the vaccinated, isn't it ironic that the unvaccinated are contracting and spreading the disease worldwide from their homes?"

These emerging atrocities are proving the claims against the unvaccinated to be misleading; therefore, Biden and Europe aren't banning the unvaccinated; they are restricting the vaccinated, who are allowed to travel?

Still, in Gibraltar, a British Oversees Territory situated on the southern tip of Spain, just 2.6 square miles with 34,000 inhabitants, is having its share of confusion. The entire population

is fully vaccinated, with some people receiving three shots, and yet the virus is spreading like wildfire - forcing cancellation of Christmas celebrations.

Again, if everyone in Gibraltar is vaccinated, even receiving booster shots, and there are no unvaccinated people among them, who is transmitting the virus and causing mayhem?

Evidence of vaccine effectiveness is lacking, and the benefits haven't outweighed the risks; therefore, people are forced to 'distrust the science.' Citizens are not vacinating against Covid-19; they're taking the 'jab' against unemployment, public opinion and travel restrictions.

As a lesson, Boeing grounded its 737 MAX passenger airline after two deadly crashes. The problem was assessed and fixed.

So it is with auto makers. They recall hundreds of thousands of vehicles when a major flaw occurs.

If I had my way, all the vaccines will be recalled; scientists will study the virus, then develop an entirely new drug.

Overcoming Self doubt “Stop doubting and believe”

INTRODUCTION

Self-doubt is not new as Thomas also experienced doubtfulness when the disciples told him they had seen Jesus. Thomas said, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later, Jesus came in the house where Thomas and the disciples were and Jesus told Thomas: “Put your finger here, see my hands, reach out your hand and put it into my side, stop doubting and believe.”

Do you have to see something to believe it? There are many times in life you will not be able to see and if you are a Christian, your foundation should be based on belief. Of course, it is natural to have feelings of doubt, but you should not live your life doubting

yourself, otherwise your goals in life will be delayed or not achieved.

One of the first things you have to do is to have faith. Everything you do and everything you want to do; believe it will happen.

Even if it does not happen when you want it to happen, believe it will eventually happen, especially if you know that is what you

were destined to do. In order to have faith, you have to build up yourself spiritually and look at the examples in the Bible, where individuals were able to make it life through faith. You should not be quoting Scripture on faith and don’t believe what you say. Faith and belief come hand-in-hand, so learn to believe. Stop looking at your present situation as the end.

You have a great future ahead of you. Just believe.

I know some of you are still waiting on some breakthroughs, but some of you have had some successful breakthroughs in the past, and yet you are doubtful about the present and the future.

I encourage you to reflect on your previous breakthroughs, and remember that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. He came through for you in the past, and he will come through for you today, and forever.

Sometimes you experience self-doubt because of the people in your environment. People can make you doubt yourself, especially if they don’t believe in what you are doing. Furthermore, you may be reading a lot of things about your situation and they

all appear negative. Remember, in every situation there may be positive and negative outcomes.

Focus always on the positive outcome, and this comes with having faith. In addition, find a way to remove yourself from an environment that is toxic and find a positive and encouraging environment.

Experiencing doubtfulness is common among most people, but you need to be alert and start thinking positive. You can become what you think. When I was growing up, I believed all the negativity people said about me, and as result I grew up most of life being doubtful. Therefore, think positive, no matter the negative things people say about you. Don’t believe them. Believe you will achieve, no matter what obstacles come your way.

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

The most powerful forces After battling with the thought of writing on this subject, I felt it important to do so because of the consistently challenging times we are in. Two of the most powerful forces on earth are politics and religion. The first is an abomination and the second is not so far behind. However interestingly enough, out of all the religions that exists on the planet, only one may have legitimacy and that is Judaism. The reason I say this is because if you trace all religions except Judaism, you will discover that they were founded by men. Judaism was instituted by God through Abraham and there was a reason for that.

In Genesis 1:26-28, God created man and gave him authority over the earth with specific instructions to govern, manage and oversee. We notice in Genesis 3 that mankind abdicated his responsibility, handing over that authority to another. In a sense, he committed treason which was and, in many places, still punishable by death.

Religion is a search for a higher power and in this case that is God. Abraham was to be the custodian until the recovery plan was ready to be rolled out.

This plan was salvation. It was necessary because through a legal act God gave man authority over the earth. Through a legal act man relinquished that authority and therefore the recovery of that authority would require another legal act; not an emotional one.

Salvation is not an exercise in emotions, but in a formal process.

I mentioned in an earlier article that all legal beings on the earth require a body. This is why Jesus had to be born of a human to enter the earth and be a candidate to fulfill this plan. In John 3 in the conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus told him that a man must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. It indicates a legal process by which someone can become a rightful heir. The other option is through adoption mentioned in Ephesians 1, which is also a legal process. Without either of these, the heir would have been considered illegitimate.

The process of salvation allows an individual to claim legal entry into the kingdom of God. We see another legal term with this process in Romans 10:9-10 when it uses the word confess.

When someone is called to give testimony in a trial, they confess, or give evidence of something. In reading The Bible, one must get an appreciation for this to fully appreciate, or you will end up in a quagmire of emotions and inconsistent living. While we may

express our appreciation for being saved through emotional means, those emotions cannot sustain the relationship.

To help you further understand how important legality is in The Bible and with God, let’s look at Israel. After Joseph’s great story, we later see the children of Abraham going into slavery.

During this time, they are referred to as the children of Israel. Can you guess why? It is because being slaves, they lacked the

requirements to be a nation, or specifically the nation of Israel.

There are four components to become a nation: population, territory, government, and sovereignty. They only had the first, lacking the other three. But God had a plan, and this would be accomplished through a legal process.

After freeing them from slavery in Egypt, He took them to Mount Sinai and gave them a suzerainty treaty or constitution. This was the

ten commandments, establishing God as the sovereign and through Him a government. We later see that they conquered Canaan or the Promise Land. At this point, they became the nation of Israel and qualified to have a king. This is the way God operates. Salvation

was necessary for mankind to be reconciled to God. During this season, may you open your hearts and accept the gift of salvation and the governing influence of the king mentioned in Isaiah 9:6-7.

He came to restore what you lost.

Easy cocktails for the Christmas

There is something very comforting about Christmas cocktails. From creamy Baileys and coffee cocktails to citrus spritzes — if you like making cocktails, you're up for a jovial trip.

Whether you like extradecadent concoctions like white Russians, eggnogs, white chocolate ginger, candy canes or a simple shot of whisky with a splash of cranberry, these drinks are guaranteed to get you jolly. So unwind, take your favourite spot on the sofa this holiday season and celebrate in style. In fact, who wouldn't like that?

Here are eight easy cocktails you should definitely try this Christmas. I've done the hard work for you, so you can thank me later.

BAILEYS CHOCOLATE MARTINI

If you like creamy drinks, you're in luck. What you need: Baileys, chocolate, vodka. On the rocks or shaken, you can have it your way. For topping, feel free to throw in 3 coffee beans on top.

BY DAVIDSON LOUIS

Subsequently, he hopes to find himself and or, leave behind a few pieces of himself. Contact him at hello. octopen@tcinews.tc

BELLINI

Prosecco with a splash of peach puree. If you can not find peach puree, feel free to use peach juice.

Equal part juice to prosecco (That's how I like it). The bottle is in your hands— abuse it. For a little something.... Jazz it up with a slice of peach. Be bougie!

KIR ROYALE

This French cocktail is a classic.

It consists of crème de cassis topped with champagne. For the advanced mixologists amongst you, substitute the prosecco with Champagne (Moet) and also add a splash of Chambord. Topped it up with a single cherry and voila.

EGGNOG

Homemade Eggnog is EASY to make! What you need: just cream,

sugar, eggs, and spices. Enjoy it spiked or without alcohol for a kidfriendly version. But don't feel the need to make it, if push comes to shove, get it from the store and enjoy it chilled. You're welcome.

AFFOGATO

You only need two ingredients, a shot of espresso poured over a lovely scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you have Kahlua, that's Gucci_ if not, life goes on. However, whatever you do, stay away from shop bought vanilla. Get your homemade ice cream from Island Scoop.

GINGERBREAD MARTINI

Baileys, vodka and a pinch of ginger and serve it in a small glass.

Anything under 8oz would do.

Have it shaken with a sprinkle of

chocolate powder on top.

MOCKTAIL MULE WINE (BUT COLD)

Don't leave the kids behind, they too can get in the fun.

Instead of red wine, use cranberry juice with various sliced fruits. You're on an island, have it with ice. Throw a cinnamon stick in, they can use it as a straw. You're instantly in the running for the coolest person they know.

WHITE CHOCOLATE (BUT MAKE IT FUN PLEASE)

Get your hands on a decent white chocolate or cocoa powder, steamed milk and whipped cream. Definitely whip cream and let them pick their own toppings: M&M, chocolate flakes, chocolate sauce. Let it be the craziest hot chocolate they ever have.

America faces a fateful crossroad in 2022

12 NEWS

RIGHTING THE WRONG When my assistant handed me copy expressing my greetings and good wishes for 2022 for approval, I paused, thinking, “is that all I can say, just hope for a better, brighter new year?” How much happier and sunnier can next year be, when we still suffer from the deep scars and bleeding wounds from the social and political malaise that 2021 left behind? We must act now. There is no time to spare because the losses will be of such a magnitude beyond our ability to comprehend.

POLITICIZING THE PANDEMIC The pandemic is the most challenging crisis facing our nation in more than a century, and remains one of the fundamental human rights issues of our time. Nearly 800,000 Americans have died from the pandemic, yet only 60 percent of our fellow Americans have been vaccinated.

How sad and disheartening that we politicized a deadly virus, as Republicans are three times more likely than Democrats to refuse vaccination. Two of the most populous states, Florida and Texas, not only are refusing to institute vaccine or masking mandates, but are banning local municipalities from instituting their own mandates.

Is it any wonder then that their death tolls are the highest in the country?

To refuse vaccination is to benefit from the precaution of those who have been vaccinated without making any contribution to our collective immunity. By the spring of 2022 more than one million of our fellow Americans will have died from the virus and many Republican leaders still have the crude audacity to oppose mandatory vaccination. It is time to recognize that each and every one of us has a moral obligation to be vaccinated and contribute to the realization of herd immunity.

Moreover, the refusal of so many Americans to be vaccinated is allowing one variant after another to arise and inflict ever more pain and hardship. Our immunity to disease is a collective resource, and none are safe until we all are. The pandemic is apolitical and colorblind, and 2022 will be merciless and agonizingly harsh unless we rise and act as one.

Vaccination should not be a choice but a requirement as long as the unvaccinated can infect others. We do not have the luxury of time.

assault. Republicans are tearing it down brick by brick. One state after another passes discriminatory laws and absurd rules, gerrymanders to secure electoral control, and refuses to accept the result of free and fair elections. We are still reeling from the violent storming of the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and accommodate a morally deranged so-called leader, whose lust for power is surpassed only by his contempt for the laws of the land. They were ready to sacrifice the freedom and liberty for which countless Americans have died, only to bask in his authoritarian design. What does that say about America’s future, when a multitude of Republicans want to seize power at whatever cost, willingly following such a blind, unhinged, bigoted narcissist who is openly tearing our democratic institutions apart?

Our democracy is facing an unprecedented danger. We must strengthen voting rights, prevent the appointment of partisans to subvert the election, fight political corruption at every level, and make political power decreasingly dependent on money.

The election of Biden gave us hope in preserving our democracy and attending to the political and social malaise that swept the nation. But maintaining the House and Senate for the Democrats in 2022 will be do or die; otherwise, Biden’s agenda will be shattered, and authoritarianism will creep in, leading to the collapse of the American institution. We must rise in unison, hold accountable the traitors behind the insurrection on January 6, and preserve and protect America’s 240-year-old democracy that served as a beacon of hope and freedom to the global community.

CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL Climate change will not happen sometime in the future. It is happening now. We live it—the unprecedented storms, hurricanes, deadly tornadoes, and fires consuming hundreds of millions of trees every year. Sea levels are rising, beaches are shrinking, and

island states are slowly submerging in front of our eyes. Thousands of species still unknown to man are vanishing in the Amazon. Coral reefs are dying at a horrifying rate, with over 30 percent at risk of being lost within the next few decades.

To be sure, climate change is an existential threat facing our planet.

The reasons for this unfolding tragedy are clear enough. Coral mining, overfishing, blast fishing, pollution, the burning of fossil fuels, and animal farming and transportation are among the major contributing factors.

Climate change continues to spark massive migration; millions have been forced to flee their homes, which have become inhospitable due to flooding, fires, and other disasters fueled by the changing environment. And yet, we still have a multitude of climate change deniers who dismiss the indisputable scientific evidence and refuse to acknowledge what is in front of their own eyes. I applaud Biden’s commitment to address the perils of climate change and call on every public and private institution to play their part in combating climate change. Next year will be even worse unless the country comes together. We must act now to avert the catastrophic impact of climate change before it is too late.

UNFATHOMABLE CHILD ABUSE It is hard to comprehend; in America, over 13 million children go to school hungry and one in five live in food insecure households.

Black and Hispanic children disproportionately suffer from poverty. How is it fathomable that the richest country on earth disgracefully falls in child poverty between Mexico and Lithuania?

One in 11 children, nearly 6.5 million nationwide, live in extreme poverty, compounded by the fact that this age is a time of rapid brain development.

Even more damning is the trafficking of children which occurs in every state. Most trafficking victims in the US are citizens; those forced into sex work are not just runaways or abandoned

youth, they are children from urban and rural areas, and of every class and race. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received over 17,000 reports of potential child sex trafficking in 2020 alone. Of the over 26,500 children reported runaways in that year, one in six were “likely victims of child sex trafficking.” Sadly, as I write these painful words another child was just trafficked for sexual purposes. And 2022 will be just the same; it will not heal these tragic wounds unless we rise up and put an end to this unimaginable travesty in America today.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS UNDER ASSAULT To this day, after decades of socalled equality, women are still discriminated against in this country. In 2020, women earned 84 percent of what men earned; it would take an extra 42 days of work for women to earn what men did in 2020. Women of color fare even worse, and face higher unemployment than white women—nearly 9 percent for Black women and 8.5 percent for Latina women, versus 5.2 percent for white women.

And who are these men who act as judges and jurors to deny women a central component of their bodily autonomy, to pass laws that prohibit abortion? What right do they have to decide what women can or cannot do with their bodies?

This is just another abhorrent manifestation of infringement on women’s inherent rights. The presumption undergirding abortion bans is that women who become unintentionally pregnant do not comprehend the consequential weight of their actions. Those who oppose abortion rights often assume that restrictions on abortion will not adversely affect women’s healthcare, when in fact it puts women’s health at risk. A true democracy cannot exist without gender equality. Despite our best wishes for 2022, the plight of women will not change unless we focus on this gender gap, and act decisively and level the field when it comes to women’s rights.

THE SCOURGE OF GUNS The scourge from which Americans suffer greatly is the pervasiveness of guns. This year upward of 40,000 Americans were killed by a firearm. Just imagine, as of 2018, Americans possess 120.5 firearms for every 100 residents—translate that to 400 million guns in the

United States, enough to provide 8 firearms to every soldier in the world. Nearly five million children live in a home where a firearm is loaded and unlocked, and women are five times more likely to be murdered by an abusive partner when the abuser has access to a gun.

But there is no outrage. We shout and scream about the need for gun control laws. Gun advocates and the NRA say cynically, guns don’t kill people. But guns do kill people when there is easy access to a gun.

How many more school shootings must we endure? How many innocent children must die in vain? When will we wake up from this nightmarish, uniquely American reality? Tragically, as many if not more people will be killed by a gun in 2022, and all of our best wishes for the new year will not save any lives. We must legislate gun control now, before another 40,000 innocent persons are shot to death. Their blood is on the hands of every lawmaker that refuses to support sensible gun control laws, as one more person killed by a gun is one too many.

We must engage in massive and continuing peaceful demonstration and civil disobedience until lawmakers come to their senses and enact gun control law.

RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION The racial wage gap is the same as it was in the 1950s, with Black workers receiving 22 percent less in salary than whites. Even where racial discrimination should not occur, in medical treatment, doctors regularly prescribe fewer pain medications for Black patients, believing that they feel less pain than whites. Blacks are incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites; while they are 13 percent of the total US population, they constitute 40 percent of the total male prison population.

Roughly one out of every three Black boys and one of every six Latino boys born today will go to prison in his lifetime, while for white boys it is approximately one in seventeen. The average white family’s net worth is more than ten times greater than a Black family.

The pandemic has affected Americans disproportionately by race and ethnicity. American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic, and Latinos are 1.6 times more likely to contract COVID than white Americans and over twice CONTINUED 

‘Crissy’ Pratt wins settlement and costs against NHIB – ready to sue MOH and Interhealth Canada next

BY DELANA ISLES GRISCILDA ‘Crissy’ Pratt has received a favourable court judgement in her claim against the National Health Insurance Board (NHIB) following a year long battle for justice.

On December 7, the Magistrate Oreika Selver-Gardiner handed down her decision in the case.

In 2020, Pratt’s grievances were aired in Facebook livestream in which she alleged she was denied help from the TCI Hospital and the National Health Insurance Board.

Both institutions had denied these claims shortly after they were made.

Subsequently, Ms Pratt travelled to the Dominican Republic for treatment, but alleged in her court filing that she was abandoned in the DR by the NHIP. In a public Facebook post on December 7, Pratt wrote the following: “Justice was served today for me (Crissy Pratt) with my case against NHIP. I represented myself against a seasoned attorney Guy Chapman.

“NHIP was grossly negligent in the handling of my needs. NHIP fell so far below standard that I also had the wrong patients file along with their NHIP and date of birth, that of the deceased Gloria Saunders Robinson.

“I was then abandoned in the Dominican Republic. At directions of Dr. Bewaji Medical Director of NHIP whom I summons to court along with NHIP I fought not only for myself today, but for every person subject to this mandatory insurance who may have suffered, some of you is still suffering in similar circumstances. I want to

thank everyone for your prayers and support. God is good.”

NHIP DENIES NEGLIGENCE According to a statement from the NHIB issued on December 13, the court’s decision was in line with the settlement offered to Pratt prior to her taking the matter to the court.

“On December 14, she received $1,182 which includes $1,080 equivalent to subsistence fees following health services received abroad and $102 in court and bailiff fees,” the statement reads.

It stated that originally, in June 2021, Ms. Pratt lodged proceedings against the NHIB in the magistrates’ court, claiming the amount of $4,715.

The organisation said they sought to settle with Ms. Pratt, offering what would have ordinarily been paid as subsistence to a beneficiary on TAP referral in the Dominican Republic, an agreed amount of $1,160.

“Ms. Pratt later refused the agreed payment due to her grievances with the clauses of the settlement agreement.

“NHIB understands that Ms. Pratt is satisfied with the outcome of the court proceedings as captured in her recent public statement.

We are happy that all parties are satisfied with the outcome.”

As it relates to Ms. Pratt’s public claims of mishandling and negligence, NHIB said: “We strongly refute those claims.”

FIGHT NOT OVER Ms. Pratt now intends to take her fight back to court.

She stated publicly on Facebook that she will now be suing the Ministry of Health and the hospital.

Provo Roadrunners presents TCI National Cancer Society with $1,000 donation On October 16th, 2021 the Provo Roadrunners hosted a cancer walk where participants were asked to make a contribution of $10. Many different colors were visible during the walk to honor those suffering from the various types of cancer. All proceeds were later donated to the TCI

National Cancer Society.

Pictured: Former President of TCI National Cancer Society Rosemary Jolly, Current President Veronica Rigby along with President of Provo Roadrunners Karen Deveaux, Vice President Joan Hagan and Cleopatra Adderley club member.

“The fight is not over as I am now preparing for court against the Ministry of Health for failing to respond to serious complaints that were made against Interhealth Canada and their faulty machines, then off to the Supreme Court against Interhealth Canada TCI and Cheshire Hall Medical Centre.”

She has asked that people of the Turks and Caicos Islands continue to pray much for her as she seeks out justice.

Disclosure 'Agreement' because I wanted the public to know the extent of their negligence and that although we are a small axe, we can chop down a big tree.

“We don’t have to suffer in silence. We must stand up for our rights and demand better health care for our people and against injustice.

“I fought this battle for all of us, so stay tuned because who God keeps is well kept.”

Meanwhile, for their part, the NHIB is promising to provide public education on its treatment abroad programme.

“We recognize that this subject requires ongoing dialogue with the public and have committed to using the earlier part of 2022 to do more public education on the Treatment Abroad Programme (TAP) process and how it works,” the NHIB statement reads.

as likely to die from the disease.

And when it comes to the right to vote, leave it to the Republicans to enact any archaic rule or law to reduce the number of people of color exercising their right, as they deem them illegitimate voters in white America.

This continuing and willful discrimination is destroying our social cohesiveness and the values that that we hold so high. Discrimination will not end in 2022, but we must begin to address this scourge, which fundamentally erodes the social fabric of our society.

CONTEMPT FOR IMMIGRANTS This is a country of immigrants, who made America great— enriching our cultural diversity, contributing momentously to our scientific endeavors, and enhancing every walk of life.

They farmed the land, built houses and roads, and made the land of plenty richer and better.

What happened under Trump’s tenure is beyond contempt—children separated from their parents, held in cages unfit for domestic animals, and asylum seekers removed by brutal force. All migrants are entitled to dignity and respect for their human rights.

Though we all want to believe that Trump’s treatment of immigrants was an aberration, to this day we still do not have a sound immigration policy. Not

when at least 650 immigrants died this year, attempting to cross the US-Mexico border.

Not when smugglers are forcing immigrants from Mexico and Central America to live in camps and work on farms in the state, an illegal enterprise akin to modern-day slavery.

Not when some died, and others were repeatedly raped. Sadly, what was once the spring of American pride, our treatment of immigrants became the source of disgrace and shame.

As 2022 rolls around, no amount of wishful thinking will change this sad reality. We need a comprehensive immigration policy to bolster once again the pillars of America’s unique enterprise.

MEDIA UNDER ATTACK Although America still largely enjoys freedom of the press, the media is under serious threat.

Trump’s attacks on the media were routine, calling them the “enemy of the people” and coining the phrase “Fake News,” as he viewed the media as a threat to his authoritarian design.

Unregulated social media contributes significantly to the dissemination of misinformation and promotion of violence, and major news stations such as Fox News spread lies and conspiracy theories galore. Police continue to target journalists, such as freelance photojournalist Jeremy Portje, who was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors and a felony last month while

documenting a homeless encampment in Sausalito, CA. At a Portland, OR protest, independent photojournalist Grace Morgan said she was shoved by a police officer with his gun.

Following last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, where journalists were handcuffed, shoved, and shot at with less-lethal ammunition, at least 110 journalists were arrested or criminally charged in relation to their reporting.

Around 300 journalists were assaulted in 2020, and there were more than 930 total incidents in 79 cities. Next year will not be a banner year for American journalists unless we use our own tools and fight with the might of our pens, allowing no one to tamper with our freedom to unveil the corrupt politicians who feel menaced by the press.

After all is said and done, my faith in America will never wane. The challenges in 2022 may well be insurmountable, but then again, we have overcome so many adversities before, and can do it again and emerge ever stronger, as long as we put America’s national interests above any political partisan agenda. America’s star will never fade away, and we will always rise to the call of the hour. This is the America that I know.

And so, with pride and a deep sense of gratification I wish a happy new year to all, and may God bless America.

“Haiti is not our enemy”- Governor

BY OLIVIA ROSE AS the Turks and Caicos Islands Government wages war against human trafficking, Governor Nigel Dakin says “Haiti is not the enemy”.

“Haiti is not our enemy, Haiti has always been our neighbor, and always will be our neighbor, we are bound together, for better or for worse for the rest of time” Dakin said at a recent press conference.

The Governor, who laid out a lengthy border protection strategy during a national address aimed at tackling human smuggling, decried the illegal act which continues to place lives at risk and economically burden the Turks and Caicos Islands.

He said the TCI Government is looking to foster a better relationship with the Haitian government in an effort to combat the scourge on both sides.

He said: “ I was speaking regularly to the then Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs Claude Joseph, including when he was Prime Minister, and myself in the premier had hoped for a visit from him next year.

“He's no longer in office and so I hope to speak to the interim Foreign Minister this week.

“The new Haitian consul, who is a professional, serious diplomat, and who I have been impressed by since her arrival, has been instrumental in helping build this relationship.”

Dakin explained that although the territory’s relationship with

Governor Nigel Dakin said: “Haiti has always been our neighbor, and always will be our neighbor, we are bound together, for better or for worse for the rest of time”

Haiti is strained in some aspects, the Hiatian government and Haitian consul have worked with the territory collaboratively on repatriation .

“And for that I am grateful that not all countries including the United States had such a straightforward arrangement with Haiti during the height of the pandemic as we did. They were

accepting flights from us when they were not accepting flights from others.

“I and the NSC have to live in the real world, not the world we would wish it to be.

“And we have to be realistic that the push factors out of Haiti are not going to reduce anytime soon, the trend is the opposite way. We in TCI have to be in charge of our

destiny, not the victim of others”, he said.

In this vein, he opined that the Turks and Caicos Islands has to actively work on reducing the pull factors that bring irregular migrants to these shores.

“As digital government rolls out in TCI, and I applaud the government's determination to digitize, it will become increasingly

clear who is and who is not on the island legally.”

He urged residents to desist from hiring illegal migrants as it largely contributes to the problem.

“We must stop employing those in TCI, who have no right to be here.

“It's simply no good complaining about irregular migration, and then employing someone here illegally to do the garden, work on a building site, look after a child or work in a store or a bar. “ If we are to see success that must be completely socially unacceptable we should be ashamed if we do it.

“Despite the deteriorating situation in Haiti – and despite the complications that slowed us down during the pandemic - we are in a much stronger place today than we were in 2019. We are now building from a position of increasing strength.

“There has been many significant successes, many sloops are now turned around at sea before they reach our waters and for that we can thank our allies with whom we are now in much closer communication. “ Over the last two years this has genuinely started to become, if you like, a team sport.”, Dakin said.

The Haitian migration crisis has affected islands in the Caribbean, including the Turks and Caicos Islands, Bahamas as well as South and Central America, along with Mexico and the U.S. The mass exodus continues to worsen as Haitians flee violence and political instability at home.

People smugglers to get longer jail time

BY OLIVIA ROSE Governor Nigel Dakin has announced that penalties for smugglers would be stiffened, as the government toughly cracks down on human trafficking.

Dakin told reporters at a press conference on Thursday December 9 held at his office in Providenciales that the government is looking to increase the minimum prison term for people convicted of people smuggling and trafficking offenses.

He said: “There has to be far greater consequences for those who facilitate this trade. They are not just smuggling people, they are undermining our society. “ And there are the

– 7 years minimum being proposed aggravating factors we saw last week, where they put those they take money from in genuine peril.

“We're expecting a cabinet paper in the very near future, but my understanding and of course it is for the legislature in the end to decide, is it the proposed minimum tariff for facilitating this trade will be a suggested seven years in prison and an unlimited fine”.

He stressed that legislation is particularly important as the government aggressively goes after the networks that facilitate this trade.

Dakin stressed that while longer prison sentences on its own will

not deter those who profit from this illegal trade, it is a crucial part of the government’s layered approach to tackle the issue that is gnawing at the fabric of TCI’s society.

He said: “Perhaps the way to think of it is just a whole set of concentric rings, that starts on the very borders of Haiti, where the US Coast Guard sets for miles out from that northern shore during the hours of daylight, deterring and up between four and 10 miles out during the night time into interceding.

“Then the next level is we've got us aerial assets, but crucially going forward our own assets that will give us 80 miles if you like of

warning rather than the normal 3 or 4 miles of warning that we get.

“So many more will be interdicted and turned around which TCI will never see.

“Once they're past that we're going to build our maritime police.

“So they're better at interdicting and our radar is better identifying when they're close to our shore and that may be supplemented by drones.”

Coupled with this, Dakin said if the sloops manage to make landfall or get closer, the fully operational TCI regiment equipped with faster boats will be deployed on the beaches.

He added: “If they get past all of

that we'll have a much stronger immigration department that can start to enforce because it will have an enforcement brain.

“I think the really key change here is when we move to a government and we all have an individual identity that then becomes very powerful in terms of enforcement in terms of who should be on these islands and who should not be the ability to verify that identity digitally is very powerful.”

Currently anyone who is found to be in contravention of the Immigration Ordinance and commits an offense of harboring is liable on summary conviction to a fine of $20,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term of four years, or both.

Governor urges all to report corrupt behaviours

BY DELANA ISLES IN RECENT weeks, the Integrity Commission has been quite vocal about the need for better understanding as it relates to corruption in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and now the Governor has issued his own call.

In an videotaped message in observance of international anticorruption day celebrated on December 9, HE Governor Nigel Dakin urged residents to come to him if they are ever pressured into corrupt behaviour.

The Governor said: “The problem with corruption is that it takes a very small number to spoil it for the rest, a small number seek to profit at the expense of us all. It’s the way corruption rots confidence in good government and fair government that is so insidious.”

He said it takes two for there to be corruption, one to offer and one to accept, or one to ask and one to give.

He urged: “If you ever find yourself on the wrong end of this conversation, being pressured to either give or take, please stand firm.

“There’s a lot of people relying on you and if you want support go to the Integrity Commission with your concern or if you prefer come directly to me. I’ll support you.”

He continued: “So I use this opportunity to express my support with all of you who stand firm against this, who hold the line, particularly those of you who find yourselves in roles where others try to buy either you or your influence.

“The vast majority of you are bigger than that I know, so the most important message today is for me to thank those who hold the line, and encourage those who either seek to corrupt to just say no.”

On November 9, the Integrity Commission hosted an intensive workshop aimed at changing behaviours among government

employees as it relates to corruption, while providing a better understanding of what it is, and what should be done to help stamp it out.

At the end of the fiveday workshop, three working teams presented a partial draft behavioural plan, all highlighting to some degree the importance of ‘civil servants not accepting bribes’ and the ‘public not offering bribes’.

WHAT IS A CORRUPT ACT Section 44 of the Integrity Commission Ordinance (amended as at 31st July 2013) defines that a person commits an act of corruption in the following ways: Solicits or accepts, whether directly or indirectly, any article, money or other benefit or advantage for himself or another person for doing an act or for omitting to do an act in the performance of his functions as a public official.

In the performance of his duty as a public official, performs or

omits to perform any of his duties in a public body for the purpose of obtaining any benefit for himself or any other person.

Offers, promises or gives directly or indirectly to a public official any article, money, or other benefit, for doing or omitting to do any act in the performance of his duties as a public official.

Knowingly or recklessly allows his private interest to conflict with his public duties or to improperly influence his conduct in the performance of his duties as a public official.

Improperly uses for his benefit or that of a third party any classified or confidential information that he has obtained in his duties as a public official.

Communicates to an unauthorised person any classified or confidential information obtained in the performance of his duties as a public official with a view to assisting that person to obtain a benefit.

Improperly uses for his benefit or that of a third party, any property belonging to the government or any statutory body or government controlled company to which he has access as a result of or in the course of the performance of his functions.

Improperly influences the appointment of, or the dismissal, suspension or other disciplinary action against, a public official.

Hinders, delays or interferes with the performance of a duty of a public official with a view to obtaining a benefit for himself or another person.

During the performance of his official duties pursues a course of conduct with respect to another public officer which amounts to offensive sexual comments, gestures or physical contact or other conduct of that kind.

Pursues a course of conduct by which he exploits his position or authority for his sexual gratification.

THE SALT CAY NOTE

TSCN - Deputy District Commissioner, Noyal Hamilton, Mrs Mandy Dakin

TSCN - The Salt Cay community meets Santa, as Deputy District Commissioner, Noyal Hamilton, moderates the event

Titus de Boer, Honourable Premier, Washington Misick and Captain Allan Dickenson share a light moment at the Premier’s Annual Christmas Party on Salt Cay

‘Overindulged’, overlooked and clinging on…

Mixed emotions, as Salt Cay looks to a better 2022

It has been a busy few weeks on the charmed isle; busy not on the ‘making lots of money’ sense but busy with looking after visitors, such as the Governor’s wife, Mrs Mandy Dakin and her entourage, as she rowed in, literally, from Grand Turk to go on a ‘footsteps4good’ walk with the Salt Cay community.

Earlier in the month, the Salt Cay community had held its traditional Christmas tree lighting ceremony and as I write these lines, the Honourable Premier, Charles Washington Misick, is on his way, aboard the Salt Cay Ferry, to host the Premier’s Annual Christmas Party. More on that in a moment.

And yes, amidst all of that, a few more ‘winter residents’ have returned and left again, and even a tourist from Sweden was spotted on the island this week who, after having braved the long, arduous journey discovered, after one week, that there is actually an eatery on the island where one could have a decent meal. She appeared overjoyed.

The fact that our readers, all 33,567 of them, are prolific readers is well known and once it was announced that the Honourable Premier, Washington Misick, was going to be visiting Salt Cay, one of our resident readers sent me an email, which read as follows, “I just read an article on the BBC, which

BY TITUS DE BOER

Titus de Boer was born in Hamburg and spent his formative years in the West Indies. After a formal education in Germany and subsequent training as a journalist, he moved to the TCI in 1989.

reminded me of Salt Cay”. The piece the reader was referring to, was entitled, ‘Foula: Britain's most remote inhabited island’, and the key sentence which the reader said reminded her of Salt Cay was, “This is not a place where humanity is in the ascendency, it’s just clinging on.” “I think this could easily be applied to Salt Cay and it’s current challenges”, pointed out the reader, “with continued suboptimal air service, inadequate tourism promotion, no major employer, few opportunities, it really feels like we are just clinging on here”. Not too long ago a story had made the rounds in

Salt Cay about a government official who, when recommending that the Salt Cay senior citizens should not be allowed to travel on the Salt Cay Ferry free of charge any more, had referred to the populous of the island as the ‘overindulged’; needless to say the remark was not well received.

Not having been able to verify the remark, I truly hope that it was not actually made, for life on Salt Cay can be called lots of things, relaxed, laid back, uneventful, peaceful - but overindulgent it is not!

It was against this background that the ‘overindulgent’ Saltans awaited the arrival of their Premier, his first since a campaign stop earlier this year, prior to the election that brought him and his government colleagues to power. When he finally arrived, aboard the Salt Cay Ferry, accompanied by his ‘Salt Cay wife’, his Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Josephine Connolly and his Finance Minister, Honourable E Jay Saunders, and their entourage, it was reassuring to witness some humility on behalf of the Premier when he started off his remarks with an apology for having taken so long to return.

This being a Christmas Party and not a town hall meeting or political campaign stop, anyone who had been hopeful and/or expectant of a major announcement, was no doubt going to leave this event unsatisfied, perhaps even disappointed. And yet,

the Premier appeared to be sincere when he thanked Saltans for having been patient and went on to note, “bear with me a little longer…in six months I expect to have some good news for you, actually more than just good news but some actual activity”.

He continued to explain that it was his government’s goal to create something truly unique for Salt Cay, “with focus on the extremely high end sector of the tourism industry”.

Patience. Mahatma Gandhi once wrote, “To lose patience is to lose the battle”. In the case of Salt Cay the word ‘Battle’ should probably be substituted with the word ‘Hope’. Saltans have been patient, very patient, but if the dwindling population is anything to go by, even their patience can not be taken for granted, for ever. And yet, I for one am willing to take the Premier by his word and see where we find ourselves by the summer of 2022.

In the meantime, it’s back to time tested self management and Salt Cay’s seemingly indestructible self reliance - or in the words of Napoleon Bonaparte, “If you want a thing done well, do it yourself”. Yes, I remain an insufferable optimist, what choice do I have, and yet somewhere in my subconscious there is that sneaking suspicion that we may be ‘doing it ourselves’ for a good bit longer. Here’s to hoping for a good, prosperous 2022!

Merry Christmas Turks and Caicos – Message from Governor Nigel Dakin For the first time in a year our children, Charlie and Fraser, have joined us in TCI, so we are together for a family Christmas. As we gather to celebrate the season, and the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, our first and most important message, from our family to yours, is to wish you a joyful and peaceful Christmas. We hope the New Year - and 2022 - are kind to both you and yours.

Much happened in 2021. The Islands entered the year uncertain about what this year would bring, I hope it enters 2022 far more confident about its future.

You may recall that this time, last year, news was breaking that we would receive our first batch of vaccine in January. There was as much nervousness, as excitement, about the prospect. At the same time, we were starting to hear about a new variant of COVID coming out of India – what became known as the Delta Variant – which in due course would significantly push up our numbers in the early part of 2021. The early part of this year was a race between distributing the vaccine as against the Delta variant spreading, The good news was that the vaccine - and therefore TCI won.

Because of that, because all that follows are linked, we end the year with 80% of our population vaccinated. We end the year with all the visitors to our Islands vaccinated. We end with our hotels full and with cruise ships having returned to Grand Turk.

Schools have reopened. Almost all restrictions have been lifted. We are one of the only places in the world that should leave the pandemic with no debt. Government revenues are strong because our main industries: tourism and real estate are doing well.

Visitors want to be here – and they came here when no one else welcomed them - not just because we are ‘beautiful by nature’ but we are now known to be ‘safe by design’.

What a difference a year makes.

TCI is now being talked about as one of the few places in the world who will leave the pandemic stronger than we entered it, and that is because, in these small Islands, we pulled together.

What did that look like?

Both governments who were in power this year managed, and are manging, the pandemic tremendously well. Unlike many nations, both political parties were also extraordinarily responsible – and remain responsible - when occupying the Opposition benches.

Governor Nigel Dakin and family

Likewise, TCI’s ‘mainstream press’ kept the public well informed without seeking to sensationalise – which would have been easy - but as we have seen elsewhere nationally caustic.

This was a year when health professionals in our hospitals, local practices and in the Ministry worked together.

It’s when public servants literally served, some working extraordinary hours – in the Ministry of Health for sure but also across multiple other departments and we saw genuine cross Government working. No one wants to work 14- hour days – week in and week out – seven days a week - but some key personnel did – they know who they are - and I know they did it for their love of TCI. All the uniformed services played their part, and for that I am forever grateful.

The private sector rolled their sleeves up and helped find solutions both for themselves, their employees and for the Territory.

That our tourism industry – working with the Ministry of Health – developed rapid testing facilities to ensure our economy was not interrupted, nor our reputation tarnished, when the US changed their testing requirements for re-entry almost overnight, was a highlight of the year.

The NGOs did what they always do best and, although it’s the Red Cross’s tag line, I think it applied to all of those in the charity sector: they connected human kindness with human crisis.

However, the memory I will hold, for as long as I think of

this year and indeed last, was the stoicism and dignity of the people of these Islands. Resilience from a Hurricane is needed for days, weeks and in some cases months, but resilience from a pandemic, for two years, is a different matter entirely – and it isn’t over yet. The people here dug deep, tightened their belts and the vast majority – the overwhelming majority helped solve the problem rather than exacerbate it.

It’s not least because of this sacrifice, that I use this Christmas message to ask those that have been vaccinated to now take the booster shot. It is on offer to all those who had their second shot three months ago or more - a recent change that’s been made because of the new variant presently spreading rapidly across the globe which will hit us in the New Year, and which will push our COVID numbers up but - if we have been boosted - keep our levels of serious sickness down. What we can’t afford now, is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We have sacrificed too much, and are in too good a position now, for that.

Despite the pandemic I’ve been able to visit all the family Islands this year. That was over and above the whirl-wind tour of all 22 polling stations, on every Island, on election day including remote spots such as Lorimer’s in Middle Caicos. This was one of the highlights of the year, watching the Turks and Caicos Islanders embrace their right to vote under the testing conditions of COVID, and I’d want to thank every man and woman who helped run that election and all who

engaged in it. It gained plaudits from International Observers, and it allowed a seamless transfer of power to occur the following day.

The management of the pandemic from one government to the next was equally seamless.

Of course, Mandy and our son Fraser, have seen far more of the Islands in the last two weeks than I ever will. That footsteps4good was able, in one 12 day journey - walking over land and rowing across the ocean – accepting help when safety required it - to connect the beauty of these islands, including some of its most remote Cays, with all the people of these Islands, was not just worthy in that it allowed the Islands to actively participate and donate to a charity of their choice, but it was also a metaphor for the power of there being ‘One TCI’. The aerial images that the journey produced will, the team hope, tell the story of what a blessed land we inhabit.

2021 will also be remembered as the year that our very own Regiment was properly established. The Defence Act was passed on Christmas Eve of 2020 – one of the best Christmas presents I think the Territory could have received - and this year has seen it move from selecting and training its first recruits to them being both operational and immediately successfully. This is, I hope, an institution that will endure for so long as there is a Turks and Caicos Islands – one that will offer more places to young men and women in the coming year - and will become something that symbolises national pride and helps reinforce national

identity.

Two final thoughts. The first to those children whose school year was disrupted. Although it may be hard to imagine at your age the one thing that every adult has in common with you is we all went through school. We all remember lessons we disliked and teachers we loved or perhaps even visaversa. We all remember the times we spent in the playground and the friendship’s that were made and which we invested in heavily.

Because of COVID we know you gave up much in the first part of this year – an awful lot that could not be replicated through remote learning because school is so much more than that. All any of us can say in Government is that your sacrifice was part of the reason we are now where we are, and so when you look back on 2021 – in say twenty years – please know the part you played. Like last year, you were magnificent.

And finally, to the youngest watching. Have no fear, Santa is coming. He’s double vaccinated and boosted, as are his elves. He has the right travel insurance, and we know he’s booked in for his COVID test in Lapland. There is, I’m told, a dedicated member of staff ready to clear Santa through the TCI Travel Portal. There was no quarantine for him last year and none this. I believe his journey through the night sky starts in Salt Cay, then to Grand Turk, on to the Caicos Islands, ending in Providenciales before he is off, in the twinkling of an eye, to the Bahamas. But who knows how he does what he does, or quite where he goes?

The point about the magic of Christmas – for young and for old – is it reminds us there are still some mysteries, some linked to faith, that are unknowable, but which are important to how we live our lives and how we think of each other.

We look forward to worshiping as a family on Christmas Eve, and reflecting on both the religious majesty, and the childhood magic, that this season brings as we ready ourselves for the new beginning that Christmas promises for all our futures, and that the New Year delivers to us, in the moment the clock strikes midnight on the 31st.

And with that, our thoughts go from our family, to yours, at this special time of year - and we hope 2022 brings you all that you hope for, and in particular it brings you kindness.

A very merry Christmas to you all.

Stan Hartling is TCI’s Humanitarian of the year

BUSINESSMAN, Philanthropist and developer, Stan Hartling was named as TCI’s humanitarian of the year.

Stan Hartling, CEO of the Hartling Group, one of the most recognized developers on the island received accolades for his outstanding contribution to human development and his charitable work in the Turks and Caicos at the 4th annual Humanitarian of the Year Awards held at the Shore Club on Long Bay. Through his group Mr. Hartling has invested in supporting TCI’s culture and bringing our history alive in his support of the search for the Trouvadore shipwreck.

He has made an enormous impact on the lives of seriously ill individuals in Providenciales with the contribution of a dialysis machine.

Coupled with this, Hartling has worked to reduce both the stigma attached to and the spread of HIV/ AIDS in the Turks and Caicos Islands as an honorary Board Member and financial supporter of the Turks and Caicos AIDS Awareness Foundation.

His involvement in youth development spans his financial support to the Provo Hockey League and his scholarship

scheme.

The ballroom event held by the Turks and Caicos Islands Human Rights Commission has become one of the premier events in the TCI. This year’s event saw His Excellency the Governor Nigel Dakin and the Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Erwin Jay Saunders in attendance among other government officials.

Governor Dakin spoke of the difficulty of balancing human rights with public safety during the pandemic as he revealed that over 80% of residents in the Turks and Caicos Islands are now fully vaccinated.

The Deputy Premier stressed the importance of equality and recognized the ordinary man who contributed to their communities in times of crisis.

Both the Governor and Deputy Premier praised the Director’s management of the Commission and the articles in the media explaining human rights in the context of current affairs.

After celebrating pandemic heroes in 2020 the Commission realized that some of those nominees had gone above and beyond in their work in their communities over many years.

Two people from each island were awarded honorary certificates and an overall community star was selected by a panel on the night of the event.

The Community Stars from around the TCI were, Mr. Franklyn Missick and Palm Grove in Action for Grand Turk, Gladys Kennedy and Anthonet Talbot for Salt Cay, Sharon Minnot and Maria Clare for South Caicos, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jacobs for Middle Caicos, Kadra Been-Handfield and Quincy Thomas for North Caicos and Katherine Forbes and Jeffery Nicolas and the Rotaract Club were the Community Stars for Providenciales.

Mr. Franklin Missick was selected as the overall winner of the newly named Hon. Cheryl AstwoodTull Community Star Award for his outstanding contributions on the island of Grand Turk. Hon. Astwood-Tull was the Chair of the Commission at the time the awards were created and remains an avid supporter and friend of the Commission.

The Junior Humanitarian of the Year Award was presented to Arean Lewis. Mr. Lewis had been nominated for the Junior Award every year since the inception of

the awards for his work to help the community of South Caicos.

He has arranged fund raisers for children, orchestrated an island clean up, organized an Easter Fair and arranged a gala event to honor past and present teachers in South Caicos.

He also has an annual Christmas fair to help the community celebrate the season.

Director of the Human Rights Commission, Sabrina Green said all awardees were recognized for contributions to the Turks and Caicos Islands that improved the lives of the most vulnerable residents and provided a significant boost to the development of the wider society.

In her vote of thanks she recognized the hard work of her team and the support from her Board of Commissioners for making the event a success.

Ms. Green went on to mention the outstanding contributions made through corporate sponsorships and offer heartfelt thanks to Caicos Express, Building Materials – Do It Center, Other People’s Affairs, Royal Bank of Canada, Beaches Turks and Caicos, Pioneer Cleaners, Flow TCI, Fortis TCI, and Kia Motors who were the Platinum Sponsors

for the event. A huge thank you to the Hon. Galmo Willams and Mrs. Williams and the Wine Cellar for their continued support to the awards. Special thanks to the Hartling Group who have been outstanding sponsors to the Commission and the awards since Ms. Green’s arrival.

“Special mention and thank you to Miss Karen Whitt for her support, guidance and hands-on contribution in making this year’s awards one for the books.

“Other sponsors were Provo Water, Grace Bay Car Rental, Blu Security, True Blue VIP Transportation, Flawless Finish, Le Boucheon, Grace Bay Club, Wymara, Business Solutions, Just Jais, Island Bargains, Air and Sea Agency and Royal Jewels.

“The awards showcased a starstudded line-up of TCI’s very best, headliners included Robyn Hinds-Forbes, Julian Garland, Tess Charles, and surprise guest performer Wayne Higgs brought the house down. All performers were backed by TCI’s newest sensation ‘Heat Wave.’ The success of the evening would not have been possible without the dynamic, and talented Huntley Forbes Jr. (Super P) who emceed the event.”

TCI is moving from defense to the offense to tackle human smuggling- says Governor

BY OLIVIA ROSE “We're moving from the defense to the offense, we want to identify the networks that are facilitating this trade…we want them in our prisons serving long sentences.”

These strong remarks were recently delivered by His Excellency Governor Nigel Dakin at a national address on Thursday December 9 at his office in Providenciales, where he announced a trilateral strategy to tackle the age old human trafficking issue affecting the TCI. Weeks after a tragic boat collosion at sea which resulted in the death of seven undocumented Haitians, Governor Dakin said the Turks and Caicos Islands will robustly work to defend its borders and dismantle the smuggling network with a fourpronged approach.

He said: “It's less about how they come at us, but who is facilitating the trade, its less about the soldiers and more about the generals.

“What we need is a way to seriously degrade the smugglers ability to do damage to us. We need a network if you like to take down a network.”

Dakin reminded residents who were tuned into the live stream that they are “part of this solution”.

“You are not victims, and you're not passive observers.

“This requires us as an individual territory, and as a wider alliance to do four things really well, first to increasingly build sophisticated concentric circles of defense from the borders of Haiti that allowed the Alliance the maximum opportunity to intercept vessels before they made landfall,” he added.

Secondly, he explained the TCI has to develop a far greater understanding, through surveillance intelligence of incoming vessels

His Excellency Governor Nigel Dakin and officers of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force

long before they reach the territory’s waters.

“So we have time and space to interdict them at a point of our choosing, but crucially, to understand who is profiting from this trade.

“Three, to then lift their sights from just intercepting sloops, or fast boats, to taking down the networks, particularly here in TCI, who facilitate this trade. “ And finally, to do all we can to reduce the pull factors that bring irregular migrants to our shores.

“On this last point, the Commission, the Haitian community, that are here lawfully, the TCI business community and the wider public have a significant role to play.”

BOOSTING RESOURCES In divulging several aspects of the comprehensive strategy to combat illegal migration, Dakin said maritime forces will be doubled and heavy investments will be made in surveillance equipment, infrastructure and manpower.

He said: “The maritime police are truly on the front line of our territory's defenses, and they are doing a magnificent job.

“Their numbers will close to double next year and two new

maritime patrol boats will be ordered this coming year for delivery in 2023. “ The regiment will also provide them with a further reserve of well trained manpower to draw on as they need.

“As previously announced the radar coverage is about to triple, the equipment has been procured and will shortly be operational, locking Providenciales down through 360 degrees.”.

The Governor further explained that the government is scoping out how the territory’s maritime assets can be brought together into a coast guard to improve its efficacy.

He said: “The staff at the radar have in the interim, seriously professionalized, we made an early decision to double their numbers, and that has paid dividends.

“These are now some of the most effective public servants we have in the coast guard.”

He disclosed that a preliminary report was presented at a recent National Security Council meeting and work will continue on its feasibility.

“For the moment one large law enforcement agency that can cover the protection of our borders from all threats, be it the smuggling, environment or illegal fishing of our waters has logic to it.

“But what none of us want to do is disrupt the success the maritime police presently enjoy. “ Change here needs to be carefully managed so as an interim step, the government has committed to build a new marine base.

“Within that there will be a maritime operations control facility that will fuse all activity working in support of this mission.”

Dakin underscored that as the territory’s radar capacity becomes

more comprehensive, there is a risk of becoming a victim of the radar’s detection success.

“We may have many more sightings of suspicious craft, how we best resolve these are, if you like Friend or Foe depends on the increase in numbers that the radar sees.

“We don't necessarily want the maritime police having to intercept each one which would be inefficient.”

To this end, the NSC has not ruled out investing in fixed-wing drone technology to complement radar activity, Dakin added.

The strategy builds on the already existing Operation Bahamas Turks & Caicos (OPBAT) multi-agency operation which was established to stop drug smuggling through the region.

REDUCING REPATRIATION COSTS The TCI Government has bemoaned the staggering cost of repatriating irregular migrants for years, to this end a number of efforts are underway to reduce the costs of repatriation.

Governor Dakin stressed that collaborating with allies to interdict vessels and return them to Haiti before entering TCI waters is crucial to minimizing the cost associated with repatriation.

He explained that: “Once overloaded, unseaworthy craft are in or close to our territorial waters, we cannot turn them around.

“There are maritime conventions linked to safety of life at sea, known as so last that prevent this that no sea captain anywhere in the world can ignore and frankly when not in the business of facilitating the potential mass drowning of migrants, we in TCI are bigger than that.”

In this vein, he emphasized that the closer the sloops can be identified

to the Haitian shore, the better. “ And therefore in conjunction with our allies, we need to know what is happening well beyond our horizon.

“The deployment of a Royal Navy Wildcat helicopter last year started to show us how valuable it was if we could extend our reach, and therefore are at our allies' warning.

“The more recent basing and TCI of US Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security airframes, has built on this and will continue. “ It was also good having the Royal Navy and its helicopter in our waters in October, exercising with our regiment and then patrolling.”

In anticipation of a significant uptick in the migrant boats at this time of year, the helicopter from the Cayman Islands funded by the UK government will remain in the TCI until January.

Dakin said although this measure is short term efforts are afoot for a more persistent permanent solution.

“In the recent meetings the premier, the deputy premier and myself had in London, the UK Minister committed to supporting us with a long-term maritime surveillance asset.

“While not yet confirmed, I expect that to be a fixed-wing specialist aircraft with long term persistence, able to observe for hours and equipped with the relevant capabilities that will not only support our own interdiction operations, but also work in collaboration with our allies, so more vessels can be returned to Haiti before entering our waters.

“We are also starting to develop a partnership with the UK that will give us access to the product of satellites that will provide surveillance of the waters we must protect, not least from illegal fishing.”

Housing and travel allowance for certain HOA members

BY DELANA ISLES THE Attorney General has cleared up the misconceptions surrounding a bill that seeks to grant housing and transportation allowances to certain members of the house of assembly.

The bill is the ‘The House of Assembly, Speaker and Other Members Salaries and Allowances Amendment Bill 2021’ which was first tabled in the parliament on November 30.

It was read for the first time on that date and the second reading which is the stage where the bill is explained - was set for a later date.

The title of the bill sparked outrage in some sections of the population, with a number of social media posts alleging that

the government was increasing the salaries of members of parliament.

However, when the assembly reconvened on Monday, December 13, the attorney general, Hon. Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles explained what it entails.

She explained that upon the recommendation of the Integrity Commission, the bill introduces two new categories into the ‘House of Assembly, Speaker and Other Members Salaries and Allowances Ordinance’.

She said in 2020, the Commission undertook a review of various things - among them the allowances provided for in the current bill.

Having reviewed the travel and housing allowances for the Speaker and certain members, in

October 2020, the Commission then presented the Cabinet with a report with recommendations for the changes to be made.

The Cabinet then determined if there was funding available for the new provisions.

That report was recently revised and updated, then sent on to Cabinet for approval, and then to the parliament for debate and passage.

PROVISIONS Hon. Braithwaite-Knowles stated that one of the categories in the bill provides for housing allowance to be paid to ministers who ordinarily reside in Providenciales for official duties but whose home base is not Providenciales.

This housing allowance will be

payable with effect from January 1, 2020.

The attorney general offered a further explanation as to the reason for the housing allowance.

“The report recognises that these Turks and Caicos Islands are many, and that the government primarily operates between Grand Turk and Providenciales… what it recognises though is that between those two islands members of the house can come from anywhere in the TCI. “When persons are appointed into Cabinet, if that person is resident on the island of Providenciales but has to have a residence in Grand Turk, the Ordinance already recognises that person should be paid a housing allowance for their residence that

they maintain in Grand Turk.

She added: “So this [amendment] is the opposite of that, it recognises that there would also be members who have their home base in Grand Turk, but who have to maintain a residence on Providenciales because they are required to be there for their official responsibilities.”

The second recommendation made by the Commission was for the Speaker of the House to be paid transportation allowance.

The attorney general said the bill makes provision for this, in line with the Commission’s recommendation that it be payable from April 1, 2015, subject to the availability of funds.

The bill was fully supported by all members and eventually passed.

Dane Ritchie is on a mission to take football in the TCI to the next level.

Making football the number one sport in the TCI an overall mission – Says new TCIFA Technical Director Dane Ritchie THE Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association’s (TCIFA) new Technical Director Dane Ritchie will focus on spreading the game throughout the length and breadth of the Turks and Caicos Islands to ensure that it becomes the number one sport.

Although football is technically the most played sport, it is not officially recognised as TCI’s national sport—that honour goes to cricket, but the West Indian dominant game has become a shadow of its former self in the TCI. Ritchie, who is a quality cricketer himself and a multitalented sports personality, aims to follow the FA’s Strategic Plan, which he noted would guide his mission.

He said that he would continue to focus on developing youth football while creating more local competitions.

“In order to facilitate this, coaching education will continue to be another focus area as we look to qualify more coaches to help develop the sport,” he told the

Weekly News.

Additionally, the former FIFA Assistant Referee will focus on community development.

“Having football being played within communities is another focus area. This will take the support of clubs and communities to make this happen, hence more guidance and help will be channeled into developing proper club structures so they can become more efficient.”

Overall, Ritchie thanked the leadership of the FA, including its President Sonia Fulford and General Secretary Oliver Smith for the opportunity to serve in his new role.

“It is indeed an honour to be given such a privilege.”

Richie also thanked outgoing Technical Director Andrew Edwards for making such a great impression on football in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“I will do my best to build on what they have accomplished with the support of all stakeholders.”

Ritchie will start working in his new position from January 3.

Ancie Bernadin proved her supreme fitness ability in making the list.

Bernadin makes 2022 FIFA Refereeing International List TCI’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Boys U14 and Girls U14 2021 Challenge Series referee Ancie Bernadin has gained the nod of the 2022 FIFA Refereeing International List.

The 29-year-old, who had travelled for her third CFU event in August, said that it is an honour and privilege to serve in the capacity of FIFA Female Assistant Referee.

“I look forward to beginning this grand new adventure, as I promise to work hard and maintain the confidence and trust that Turks and Caicos has shown in me.”

She thanked TCI’s Head of Referees Ms Patrice Senior and the newly appointed Technical Director, who had severed in the position of Technical Instructor for their guidance.

Bernadin’s nomination was also due to her fitness abilities.

Nominees must pass a FIFA approved Fitness Test conducted by a qualified fitness instructor. This test consists of two parts: a repeated sprint

ability (RSA) test which measures the referee’s ability to perform repeated sprints over 40m, and an interval test which evaluates the referee’s capacity to perform a series of highspeed runs over 75m interspersed with 25m walking intervals. The time between the two tests is 6-8 minutes maximum. Additionally, nominees must pass a medical examination.

Each candidate is then ranked based on the marks obtained for officiating national level matches during the 12 months prior to being nominated to the list of international referees.

The FA’s President, Sonia Fulford congratulated Bernadin, who is a teacher by profession, on her elevation to the list.

“This achievement is a result of dedication and commitment. Ancie came up through our programme and was part of the Women’s Programme during her teenage years. It is refreshing to see her transition to officiating and we are confident that she will represent us well on the world football stage”.

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

Five consecutive championship titles for Fenelus NATIONAL footballer Marco Fenelus is in a league by himself after he won his fifth consecutive Taiwan Football Premier League title on Sunday evening with Tainan City Football Club (Taiwan Steel).

The 29-year-old, who scored the lone goal in the 1-0 win, has placed his team in an unreachable position with a game left.

After 13 games, Taiwan Steel are on 34 points (11 wins, one draw and a loss) and their rivals Taipower, who they played on Sunday, are on 31 points from 14 games.

Over the league’s fiveyear history, he has won with every team he has played for.

His 2021 title, however, has special meaning to him.

“Winning this championship is special to me personally. It’s been a rough few months for me with the team. Had moments where I was questioning my ability to keep playing this game at this level. One thing about this country [Taiwan] is that people don’t really care about your reputation or your history here. It doesn’t matter how many titles I’ve won or how many goals I’ve scored in this competition, only thing that matters is what I’m doing right now, what you can give them right now. I’ve had times where they made me doubt and blame myself, made me feel

Marco Fenelus is leading the league with 11 goals.

like I was the problem.”

He added that “winning this championship is a reminder of what I can do, that I’m still more than capable of doing what I love and playing at the highest level and proving them wrong.”

Along with the championship title, he is also in the race for the Golden

Season’s Readings!

As we turn the page to another holiday season, we’d like to take a moment to thank you, our loyal readers, for your trust and support.

We hope this Christmas delivers all the good news you’ve been hoping for and more. Happy Holidays!
