FortisTCI to showcase zero emission electric car THIS Saturday (April 28) FortisTCI will unveil to the public an emission free electric car, as part of the company’s electric vehicle (EV) and charging station pilot programme.

According to an announcement made by the utility company on Tuesday, the programme includes

a six to 12 month feasibility study that will provide insight into the new technology for interested customers in the TCI. The electric vehicle that will be showcased on Saturday morning at 10am, at Fortis’ Leeward Highway location, is a Nissan Leaf Acenta that

Malix Cox charged with murder of Andreika Stubbs A SECOND man, Malix Cox, has officially been charged before the court with the murder of the young mother Andreika Stubbs.

Cox appeared before Chief Magistrate Tanya LobbanJackson in Court One on Tuesday (April 24) and was remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison.

The 20-year-old is also charged with causing grievous bodily harm to a 17-year-old male who was injured during the March 23 shooting in the parking lot of Versace bar on Leeward Highway that resulted in Stubbs’ death.

Other charges are discharging a firearm and discharging ammunition.

He will appear in Grand Turk Supreme Court for his sufficiency hearing on June 1.

Cox is now co-accused and charged along with 23-year-old Anthony Francis in the crime.

Francis was charged and

is 100 percent electric, the company said.

It features a 30kWh battery which when fully charged can drive up to about 100 miles.

FortisTCI president and CEO Eddinton Powell said: “While the EV market has yet to evolve in the TCI, EVs are now being adopted globally and across the Caribbean as an alternative to gasoline and diesel engines.

“These cost-effective ‘greener’ zero emission vehicles are poised to transform the transportation industry and the energy sector.

“FortisTCI is preparing to meet the future energy demands of our customers in both traditional and non-traditional ways.”

He also noted that this strategic approach is in line with the company’s commitment to offering environmentally sustainable energy solutions to the TCI. As a first step in introducing the vehicle, the vehicle services team at FortisTCI participated in EV repair and replacement training from April 9 to 12.

The training was facilitated by Megapower, a Barbados based

FortisTCI’s brings an electric car to the territory

company that offers EV sales and services across the Caribbean.

On Friday, April 13, FortisTCI also hosted a training session for emergency responders that covered topics such as an introduction to EVs and response to accidents involving these types of vehicles.

The EV and charging station pilot programme is the latest environmentally sustainable energy solution in which FortisTCI is investing.

In 2017, the company installed and commissioned its first grid-tied solar energy systems on two commercial properties on Providenciales.

The company offers grid-tied solar programmes to both commercial and residential customers across the TCI. By the end of this year, FortisTCI will also launch its one megawatt (1MW) large-scale, utility-led solar project.

This development is planned in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Institute-Carbon War Room, a global leader in creating clean, resilient, and affordable energy solutions by working with utilities and governments.

The 1MW project will encompass several sites across the Turks and Caicos Islands. (Delana Isles)

Malix Cox, murder accused

remanded to prison on April 9, and like his co-accused, he will appear in court again on June 1 for sufficiency hearing.

Neither men were required to plea to their charges.

Police continue to appeal to the public for any information they may have in connection with the crime. (Delana Isles)

Police partner with Interpol to curb human trafficking

BY OLIVIA ROSE LOCAL law enforcement officials recently joined forces with international policing organisation Interpol to help curb human trafficking in the territory.

Minister of Border Control Hon Sean Astwood cleared the air about the recent arrival of Interpol personnel and their covert activities at a press conference on Friday, April 20.

He said that during the period April 3 to 9 Operation Libertad was conducted in a bid to address TCI’s human trafficking problems.

The minister stressed that the operation was an Interpol initiative but was not led by officials from Interpol.

It was spearheaded by the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and comprised of a team from the Immigration Department.

“Like any operation, intelligence gathering, and surveillance was undertaken in advance and proper search warrants were obtained,” Minister Astwood said.

“We are all aware that persons are invariably attracted to these Islands because of an attractive earning currency, stable economy and several other factors.

Human trafficking a heinous crime

“However, intelligence also suggest that some migrants may be exploited sexually, domestically and through low paying jobs.”

The minister said that the recent operation will not only to bring the offenders to justice but restore the dignity of the victim and deter people from getting involved in these illegal activities.

“They serve as a warning to those who have the desire to involve themselves in such activities.

“Because of this special operation, 27 persons were apprehended, detained for interviews and eventually 25 persons were repatriated.”

Astwood added: “Operations,

such as Libertad, have strategic benefit to the Turks and Caicos Islands as they aim to mitigate against national reputational fallout as it relates to human trafficking and from a humanitarian perspective to ensure protection of victims of human trafficking in accordance with the laws of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Interpol is the world’s largest international police organisation, with 192-member countries working together to fight international crime.

Just last week, the Turks and Caicos Islands Human Rights Commission expressed concern over the trafficking and sexual exploitation of women from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Columbia.

The watchdog said human trafficking is modern day slavery and it is ripe in the TCI with enablers throughout the territory.

It further stated that women are usually provided with visas or work permits and are brought to the TCI under the pretext of legitimate working opportunities such as bar maids, nannies, waitresses, and dancers only to find themselves, unwillingly in most cases, plying sexual favours, engaging in prostitution or being victims of other forms of forced labour.

Gov’t is ‘committed’ to fixing the NHIB “While challenges exist, we’re moving to fix the problems,”

BY OLIVIA ROSE PREMIER Sharlene Cartwright Robinson has said the Government is committed to fixing the issues plaguing the National Health Insurance Board (NHIB).

Her statement comes after a recent thorough review of the board’s performance and management recommended its total dissolution.

On Monday (April 23) the premier, who is also finance minister, alongside officials from the NHIB and the Ministry of Health provided an update on the Government’s ongoing efforts.

Following the damning Stephen Turnbull report in March, the Government committed to an actuarial review of the board that would ultimately decide its fate.

The results of this report which will “form and inform key government decisions” are expected to be released in May, according to the premier who was speaking at her office.

“We commit to critically analysing each recommendation and to making the decisions that would ensure the financial viability of the plan.”

She further disclosed that the National Health Insurance Plan (NHIP) has been operating on a deficit budget for a few years which has resulted in the Government providing a $12 million bailout.

“Our Government has ensured financial support of the NHIB to the tune of $12 million; $10 million of which has already been dispersed in the recently passed supplementary budget.

“These funds have been used to significantly reduce the organisation’s liabilities to its local and overseas providers.

“At this point the NHIB is 70 to 80 percent of clearing all outstanding liabilities for the financial year 20172018.”

The remaining 20 percent is expected to be cleared by the end of April.

The premier said the Ministry of Finance will be monitoring the expenditure of the NHIP through weekly reporting arrangements.

Also, weighing in on the hefty expenditure of the board, chairman Delton Jones said that the average total expenditure over the last three years was $61 million.

“Hospital related payments accounted for about 51 percent of the average NHIP expenditure, followed by treatment abroad with 35 percent, pharmaceutical and local provider costs averaged about six percent and two percent respectively,” he said.

This hefty expenditure is indicative of the persistent underfunding of the programme at a time when there has been increasing healthcare costs, Jones said.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS A plethora of issues have contributed to the administrative and financial breakdown of the NHIB over the years, the premier said.

She acknowledged that these shortcomings have not emerged overnight and highlighted several contributing factors.

“We recognise that the challenges are not merely management based but has also been significant underfunding of the organisation since its establishment as well as inadequate assessment of risk and controls, information technological support and compliance systems.”

Coupled with these issues she pointed to the project agreement between the TCI Government and InterHealth Canada which has also

contributed to the problems affecting the organisation.

“We further recognised that the lack of focus on primary healthcare and prevention has also caused the significant healthcare burden on chronic non-communicable diseases in the Turks and Caicos Islands which poses a growing healthcare financing challenge.

“My Government recognises that there are no quick fixes to these challenges and the wider population together with internal coordinated effort is required to change the unhealthy lifestyle habits that lead to ill-health and addressing each of the internal challenges in the NHIB. “While challenges exist, we’re moving to fix the problems.”

STRINGENT MEASURES The premier stressed that since taking over as minister responsible for the National Health Insurance Board earlier this year, she has ensured that key recommendations have been taken forward.

“I’ve ensured that regular bimonthly meetings have been held between myself, the board and the management of the NHIB. “Recently legislation to amend the composition of the board and move forward and making recommendations of board members has been given priority to ensure effective management oversight of the organisation.”

Staff have increased compliance efforts to ensure businesses pay contributions in a timely manner so that employees will not be denied healthcare, the premier said.

“Additionally, a cursory review of the IT systems shows serious deficiencies and as such requires a more in-depth review and my Government is committed to providing the funding for this review and the changes that will help in the better management of NHIB. “Finally, a step-up public education and awareness programme will be rolled out in the coming weeks.”

She said that many positive steps have been taken to turn the NHIB into an organisation that will be the “pride and joy” of the people of the TCI. “However, I would like to say that the NHIB already have included in their provisional budget for approval additional clinical staff to manage the treatment abroad programme for the year 2018-2019 to improve the effective and efficient management as well as patient experience.

“We are also moving to fill critical vacancies that have affected the organisation capacity to respond to the needs of beneficiaries and to align with the strategic priorities of our Government.

“We are currently concluding the recruitment of the executive management which includes the CEO the CFO and the chief medical officer.

“During the next two weeks we will begin recruiting for six other vacancies - the IT manager, senior registration officer, PR marketing officer, executive assistant, legal officer, human resource manager, and once the budget is approved there is provision for additional vacancies.”

To allay any fears of the NHIP staff, which is currently made up of about 30 people, Cartwright Robinson said she will meet with

them in the coming weeks.

“Let us not for one minute think that nothing is happening at the NHIB. “Our Government has been working alongside the board to fix the issues and turn the organisation around.”

She acknowledged and encouraged the “hard-working and dedicated staff” at the NHIB and thanked them for their dedication.

“We recognise that they have a pivotal role in turning the organisation around and will be a part of all key decisions.”

The premier said that 2018 marks the ninth anniversary of the board and plan which it administers.

“Over the years the NHIP has played a critical role and providing increased access to essential medication and care for the entire population of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“The national health insurance example has been used by our neighbours in the region such as the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas and Grenada to name a few establishing their own national health insurance schemes.”

She stressed that the TCI has made great strides in attaining universal healthcare and every effort should be made to maintain this noteworthy achievement.

“Schemes such as the NHIP have been lauded by the Pan American Health Organisation for their role in guaranteeing universal access to healthcare, universal access is an issue that plagues many countries in the region and in the world and forms part of the United Nations sustainable development goals.

“The Government that I lead recognises that if the Turks and Caicos is to continue to progress and prosper it can only be achieved through a healthy and productive population.”

Gov’t to focus resources on primary healthcare

BY OLIVIA ROSE A CONCERTED effort is being made to prioritise primary healthcare in a bid to reduce the financial burden on the treatment abroad programme.

The skyrocketing cost of the programme and the prevalence of non-communicable diseases has compelled the government to gear its energy towards improving facilities and promoting healthy lifestyle practices.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday (April 23), Minister of Health Hon Edwin Astwood said greater focus needs to be placed on disease prevention and early detection to decrease the burden on secondary care.

He pointed out that it is more cost effective and efficient to invest in resources required for primary healthcare facilities and to undertake prevention work to curtail the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, as opposed to focusing on the far costlier curative aspect of medical care.

“Investment in this area has been lacking in the past, however my Government will prioritise primary health once again in order to improve universal access to quality healthcare for all residents of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Astwood went on to shed light on the Government’s efforts to ensure that primary healthcare facilities, particularly those on outlying islands, are adequately equipped to properly serve the communities.

“Other initiatives are also coming on stream which include investment and upgrade of primary healthcare facilities’ infrastructure.”

This includes a new primary healthcare clinic in Kew, North Caicos, which has already been contracted out and should be ready soon.

Also, the new clinic in Bottle Creek, for which construction is expected to begin momentarily, completion of the model of primary healthcare to the implementation of technical assistance from PAHO and the operation of TCI’s first mobile clinic.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE The minister underscored the dire need for the populace to adopt healthy lifestyle practices as fundamental to the overall approach to health and wellness across the territory.

“The Ministry of Health and Agricultural Sports and Human Services is now placing greater focus on healthy lifestyle initiatives planned by the ministry and partnering with local non-

Treatment abroad programme under review THE GOVERNMENT’s treatment abroad policy is currently being examined and submissions are expected to be made to the Cabinet in June.

Minister of Health Hon Edwin Astwood spoke about the programme review at a press conference on Monday (April 23).

“This will ensure that the provisions for treatment that fall outside the scope of the current National Health Insurance Ordinance are reviewed as well as reviewing the mechanisms and procedures for clients requiring rehabilitation not available locally and the approval of high cost of clinical cases,” he said.

“The review will also take into consideration the benefits package as well as the cost and

sustainability of the treatment abroad programme.

“It will also consider persons who may seek gastric bypass (gastro sleeves). We know many persons find themselves in a biological position where weight loss is difficult.”

Focus will also be placed on expanding the network of healthcare providers within and outside the region where cases cannot be managed locally and regionally.

The treatment abroad programme, which is funded by the TCIG but administered by the National Health Insurance Plan, allows beneficiaries to access services which are not available locally through regional network providers.

governmental organisations in order to educate the general public about the healthy lifestyle practices including the implementation of well-balanced diet and regular exercise.”

It is envisaged that with an emphasis on healthy lifestyle, prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer there will be a reduction in premature deaths and disabilities which often result from these conditions.

“With the addition of the Sports Department to the Ministry of Health portfolio we look forward to greater synergies and promoting physical activities in schools and throughout the country,” the minister said.

“The school nutrition programme has been approved in principle by Cabinet and it will focus on nutrition and wellbeing for children.

“In addition the Department of Agriculture has been promoting its ‘Eat what you grow and grow what you eat’ initiatives in our schools and communities.

“As a country we need to focus on what our children are being fed, in addition provide opportunities for them to engage in regular physical activity,” he stressed.

Minister Astwood acknowledged that the Government has a responsibility to ensure residents have access to sustainable, comprehensive and high quality healthcare services.

“My Government is keen to see that healthcare provided to the population of the Turks and Caicos Islands is not only cost effective but is also of high quality, in keeping with the practices both locally and overseas.

“I believe that by placing focus on primary healthcare it can help us to achieve a healthier more productive nation.”

The Government is seeking to further prioritise and strengthen primary healthcare delivery across the territory through the recruitment of additional staff.

PROVO’s taxi drivers have reached a settlement with the TCI Airport Authority, but only after staging a twoday demonstration at Providenciales International Airport. The protest over what the drivers called “unfair competition” took the form of a sit-down causing many tourists to be stranded at the airport.

Ron Higgs, president of the United Taxi Alliance, said “we will do it again if we have to”.

What are your thoughts?

Taking a stand

It’s a human right to defend their livelihood and good job to them, for standing for something.

As Turks and Caicos Islanders we have been passive for too long and look what passiveness got us.

We are being overrun by capitalist and parasites, just because they figure we don’t stand.

Well it’s a new phenomenon and I think standing should be the order of our new world, to balance society and the rights of individuals and groups.

Let’s give the taxi drivers some credit, strike and sit downs happen all around the world and we are no lesser.

Fat cats

Although the issue is not directly with the TCI Airport Authority, it had a responsibility to listen them out since they operate directly out of the facility.

But those fat cats are too preoccupied with their fancy vehicles and expensive dinner dates to be bothered with the poor man’s plight.

Greater good

Notwithstanding any party’s right to peaceful civil disobedience, there has to be some way to resolve disputes like this taxi issue, and the recent slowdown by immigration officers at the airport, without putting the ‘pain’ on the tourists and travellers that are the lifeblood of this country’s economy.

However legitimate the taxi drivers’ and immigration officers’ disputes may be (the first apparently over the right to pick up fares at the airport, and the second seemingly

to do with the introduction of a new staff scheduling system and unpaid overtime), the forum for their resolution should not and cannot be through the inconveniencing of our travellers.

It may very well be that the TCI Airport Authority was unduly insensitive to the drivers’ complaints, and that Government was well behind in paying for earned overtime, and thus these agencies must then bear the bulk of the blame for allowing the disputes to spill over into the airport itself.

The failure of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force to force the taxi slowdown off the airport premises and approach roads is yet another example of their limpwristed approach to anything that involves even the slightest degree of conflict.

What ever happened to the concept of ‘for the greater good’?

Right on

They had every right to protest.

Their livelihood is at stake and they did they right thing by drawing the authorities’ attention to the issue.

They were respectful and communicated their grievances in sociably acceptable manner.

Right on cabbies!

More than 400 deported during first quarter

BY OLIVIA ROSE A WHOPPING 432 people have been sent back to their birth countries during the first quarter of 2018, as the Government continues its aggressive clampdown on illegal immigration.

Minister of Border Control and Employment Hon Sean Astwood revealed the figures at a press conference held at the Office of the Premier in Providenciales on Friday (April 20).

Astwood, accompanied by Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson, said illegal immigration is a vexing problem which the Government continues to grapple with.

He shared a snapshot of enforcement activities since July 2017 when illegal immigrants were given a 14-day ultimatum to leave the territory.

Despite major setbacks due to the impact of the September hurricanes which saw a cease in operations for humanitarian reasons, 1,335 people were repatriated in 2017 compared to 491 in 2016, according to the minister.

Repatriation statistics revealed that most of the repatriated migrants were from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and America.

A handful of people from other countries made up the remainder of the repatriations.

The majority of the Haitians who were deported arrived in the territory on sloops, according to the statistics.

Minister Astwood said: “During the Month of January, a total of four sloops landed in Providenciales from Haiti, one in Five Cays area and three in the North West Point area.

“During the Month of January 2018, the Immigration Enforcement Unit and Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police (RTCIPF) apprehended 70 persons and repatriated 66.

“During the Month of February 2018, one sloop was apprehended by the Marine Branch while attempting to enter the TCI illegally.

“This incident resulted in 83 males and 15 females being repatriated to Haiti. Persons repatriated age ranged from 17 years to 43 years.”

He pointed out that Operation Guardian, a joint operation which includes the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, labour officers, planning, business licence, environmental health and the immigration departments, came in to force on February 5.

Several business establishments including Somewhere café, Provo Stevedoring, Delicious Dishes, Provence Restaurant, Shay Café, Danny Bouys, Business Design Image and Genderly’s Salon were inspected.

“These actions resulted in several employees being removed from jobs as their working was contrary to the conditions on their status in the country.”

Additionally, 33 people were apprehended during district inspections conducted in Five Cays,

Repatriation statistics reveal that most of the illegal migrants arrived on sloops from Haiti

Blue Hills, Leeward and Downtown Providenciales.

“During the month of February 2018, nine persons were placed before the courts on charges such as unlawful entry, remaining in Islands beyond the permitted time, employing persons contrary to Immigration Ordinance and failing to comply with directions contrary to the Immigration Ordinance,” the minister said.

“During February 2018, seven persons were apprehended on Grand Turk and one on North Caicos. They were all repatriated.”

Minister Astwood noted that March was a particularly challenging month in many aspects.

The first two weeks of the month saw five illegal vessel landings which prompted maritime assistance from the United Kingdom and the arrival of the Royal Navy ship RFA Mounts Bay. “Operations in March 2018 were conducted with the RTCIPF in various areas of Providenciales including Dock Yard, (Kew Town) Freddy Yard, (Leeward Highway) Snake Hill, (Blue Hills) Darka Yard, (Blue Hills) New Sub Division (Five Cays), main areas of Five Cays, Leeward Gates and job sites in the Leeward Area.

“To mitigate against the number of undetected landings, special night patrols were conducted by immigration and police officers.

“These efforts saw 343 persons apprehended and repatriated to six countries.”

Operation Guardian continued through April and saw 77 people being apprehended and processed.

‘NO MORE HARBOURING’ The Department of Immigration, Labour and Business Licensing stepped up its “silent raids” which saw many businesses that are suspected of hiring illegal immigrant workers being visited and their files combed through.

Minister Astwood reiterated his call for businesses, especially those in the private sector, to desist from hiring illegal immigrants.

He also reminded the public that it is an offence to assist or shelter illegal migrants and that the fine for such is $20,000 on summary conviction or a term of imprisonment.

“Some persons have heeded the warning while others continued to engage in such activities have felt the

effects of their actions.”

He urged all migrant workers to take the necessary precautions to ensure that they are operating within the confines of the laws that govern the territory.

And he said that while officers are expected to be fair and firm, the onus rests with the individual to ensure that they hold legal status within the Islands.

“The onus is on you to have the

relevant documents to verify your status, ensure that work permits renewals are submitted at least 90 days in advance of expiration, that you are granted visas and temporary work permits operate within the stated terms of your visit privileges and time frames and that those who have agreed to provide surety and bond for visitors, that you undertake your obligations seriously and act upon accordingly,” he stated.

Fibre optics to open doors for major growth

BY OLIVIA ROSE MAJOR network upgrades which will see fibre optics linked to homes and an expansion of Digicel’s LTE platform are nearing completion.

Chief operating officer Addison Stoddard said the company’s ongoing network revamping is expected to propel the Islands to the forefront of technology.

The upgrades, which form part of the telecoms firm’s $15 million thrust to build back better after network hurricane damage, will allow customers across the territory to experience high speed television and broadband services.

In a statement issued on April 19, Stoddard said customers across Grand Turk and Providenciales will soon enjoy Fibre to the Home (FTTH).

Meanwhile customers across all of the islands are enjoying lightning fast LTE with the expansion of this latest technology to South Caicos, Salt Cay and Middle Caicos.

Stoddard said: “We are thrilled to be able to connect

Workers digging trenches along Millennium Highway

our customers to the advanced fibre technologies and to provide the world at their fingertips while enjoying the apps they love most with Digicel’s advanced LTE technology.”

He explained that this new trajectory will open doors for growth in all major sectors in the TCI, while positioning the territory at leading edge of technology in the region.

“With Digicel’s FTTH customers will experience faster internet speeds, better picture quality and enhanced service consistency.

“These are just a few of the added benefits of the upgraded service.”

He said that Digicel will make its way to customers in Blue Hills to conduct installations in homes from May 1.

Installers will then move on to Venetian Road from May 18 and Five Cays from May 31 to connect homes to the new FTTH service.

Areas such as Grand Turk, Long Bay and Cooper Jack Bay will have their installation dates announced in the coming weeks.

Since the passing of hurricanes Irma and Maria a number of Digicel customers remain without internet and cable service.

CRIME UPDATE Grand Turk man seriously injured in two vehicle smash up

CARL Williams of Grand Turk, is currently in a medical facility in the Bahamas after having sustained severe injuries to his body during a serious vehicular incident in the capital.

Welch, who is serving an eight year sentence for buggery and the rape of two young women, tried smuggling cannabis into HM Prison in his anal region.

Prison officers made the discovery when Welch returned to the general prison compound from the farm, an outside work area attached to the prison.

He will be sentenced by the Grand Turk resident Magistrate Kamar Henry Anderson next month.

Lawyer sues TCIG, AG, and police

In Grand Turk Supreme Court, Chief Justice Margaret Ramsay-Hale has over the past week been adjudicating several civil cases.

Domingo Skippings is suing the police and the Government in relation to a high speed chase in the capital, whereby police are alleged to have knocked him down and driven over him with their official police vehicle.

Skippings was paralysed for several months and is still recovering.

Details on the attorney and Penn’s civil suit have so far not been revealed. A further update on those cases will be published next week.

Letters should be accompanied by the author’s full name, location and phone number. Names will be withheld if requested.

We, the people, in Grand Turk Dear Editor, It is high time the Government put the needs of our people first not foreign businesses. The small business community in Grand Turk is neglected.

Recently, we have had practically every politician and the media fighting about beach access in Provo, however the boat operators and beach in Grand Turk have been asking the Government for years now to support us on four critical issues as it is vital to the success of our business.

1) Beach access near the loading zone on White sands beach.

Currently local vendors and boat operators do not have public access to the beach within a reasonable distance to loading zone.

The public access was taken away

by Carnival. Who approved this?

2) Build a proper boat ramp at south dock near Jack’s Shack area.

Currently, the cement pavement is constantly buried with sand. This prevents local boat operators from

pulling their boats from the water onto land with a boat trailer.

We have two options; either pay a local big equipment operator to pull up our boats or drive them around to North Creek.

When there is inclement weather North Creek is not safe to get into or out of. Why should we the boat operators be subjected to this condition? Why is this accepted?

3) Provide the marine and fisheries department in Grand Turk with a decent vessel.

Currently, the marine department does not have a speed boat stationed on Grand Turk.

We have one, two and sometimes three cruise ships docked in Grand Turk on any given day. This means there are hundreds of tourists in and on the waters.

If there is an emergency, the marine and fisheries are NOT EQUIPPED to provide proper assistance. Can anyone explain why this is acceptable?

Expose the British and vindicate the administration

4) Provide proper boat moorings (if fees are being assessed to boat operator’s licenses).

Currently, boat operators are required to provide their own ‘makeshift’ moorings.

These are not inspected or maintained by the fisheries department. However, we are required to pay yearly fees for moorings. Does this make sense?

It appears our voices don’t matter and have landed on deaf ears.

Are we not important? Are small boat operators services not needed to support the tourism product?

These are all questions the Government must provide a valid response too.

I’m appalled that Carnival Cruise Lines can practicality dictate what they want but we the people have no voice and no advocate fighting for our cause.

They have made it so difficult to CONTINUED 

Dear Editor, We are all aware of the British age old game of convenient colonialism, hence no conscious politician or voter for that matter should be in any haste whatsoever to validate any British claims or assertions against an elected government in an overseas territory.

The governor however has exposed himself and afforded our premier a clear and unobstructed opportunity to expose the British and vindicate her and her PDM administration from what is tantamount to flagrant and brazen allegations of falsehood, apathy and incompetence in her Government.

She is now free to produce the Cabinet papers presented by her and her ministers proposing the rehabilitation projects for our airport terminal, school buildings, community centres, government buildings and so on, that were devastated by hurricanes Ike, Irma and Maria.

The premier must expose the governor by showing to the public when these proposals were presented to Cabinet and overridden by the governor himself.

In the case where it may have been any civil servants, obstructionists, as permanent secretaries, or other financial officers, department heads or managers, she should produce her written directives or requests and expose them too.

This has escalated way beyond a word and blame game; the ability and credibility of the premier and her Government has been placed on the line by Her Majesty’s Government and she has wherewithal to easily and convincingly defend that and put this matter to rest leaving no doubts whatsoever in the minds of both her supporters, non-supporters and haters.

I often wonder why we allow ourselves to be inextricably entangled in webs that may so easily be disentangled.

The governor apparently unknowingly opened the door so the premier can walk in and expose them all and put them to shame.

I ask her to put this matter to bed and restore her credibility and that of her PDM Government.

Oswald Skippings, Providenciales

COMMENTARY

Governing for better or worse THIS democracy now moves forward into this new era of the 21st century. We have finally returned to a government by and for the people.

Our premier has one car, not five Cadillacs with neon licence plates advertising ‘I am the El Supremo’.

Our gal is not building a mansion with your tax dollars or trying to close down our commercial dock.

She is not selling the farm land top soil to Dellis Cay. The people voted for change.

Change back to what worked for eight years and was voted to work for four more in 2003.

In 2003 the votes were stolen by crooked cronies paid to switch a narrow election. The rest is history.

As history unfolded the true story of the 2003-2009 administration, the 2009-2012

BY DAVID TAPFER

David is a retired mobile hydraulic engineer and business executive. He has been married to Middle Caicos native Yvette Robinson Tapfer for 27 years and has lived in Conch Bar, Middle Caicos, since 2002. David formerly served as branch chairman of the PDM from 2008 to 2011

interim government and the 20122016 government was reported.

The story remains unfinished as British expensive Special Investigation and Prosecution team justice falls in line behind the legendary tortoise.

Will someone commit all this to a novel? It won’t sell. The TCI’s truth is unbelievable!

Now, one more time, we have a British governor making waves. Will we ever move forward from weak

governors?

These British left overs come and go. About the time they figure out where the toilet paper is located in Waterloo they head home to London carrying the fog with them.

Governor Jim Poston passed away from the results of what was liberally applied to him by you know who.

When Tauwhare suddenly left, he said we could find him tucked away in some London backroom.

This governor expedites Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson but he really needs to light a fire under British justice.

The sun long sets on the former empire. Maybe Britain is just having fun with what’s left.

British Tories followed the Trump route by dropping out of the EU. British Labour had followed the USA’s Clinton’s North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) thing to give up USA manufacturing jobs.

NAFTA was supposed to help Canada and Mexico. Now the Canadian dollar hits new lows as the Mexicans swarm into the USA to take jobs from poor US citizens trying to get ahead.

No wonder Hilary lost votes in former great manufacturing cities of the USA. She only did well in the heart of welfare land.

Meanwhile back in the TCI we need to review where we are. We need

to fix more hurricane damage and continue building roads and schools.

Again, I ask what about the unfinished government building in Middle Caicos. We need to do something with it or we will attach a bronze plaque. The plaque will have a one word message: ‘THINK!’ Has this governor been installed by left over elements of the British Labour government still smarting from the British looming exit from the EU? We recently watched former UK prime minister Tony Blair speak his sour grapes.

Does Britain have leftover Labour selected civil servants in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office now giving government conservatives a hard time?

The brothers Misick invented the concept.

TCI adds new vaccine to health programme A VACCINE proved to prevent cervical cancer will be added to TCI’s immunisation programme this year.

The Ministry of Health made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday (April 25) recognising 2018’s World Immunisation Week and Vaccination Week in the Americas.

It also revealed that an electronic immunisation registry will be rolled out this year, and a vaccine that prevents pneumococcal disease will be introduced by 2020.

“The TCI has been doing well in achieving and maintaining high coverages in the protection of its population from vaccine preventable diseases,” the statement

read.

“The expanded programme on immunisation is in its 41st year and since its inception has seen much growth and achieved many milestones.

“We have seen the addition of both new and improved vaccines to the programme locally and regionally.”

April 23 to 27 marks the 16th anniversary of Vaccination Week in the Americas and the 6th World Immunisation Week.

This year the theme is inspired by the 2018 FIFA World Cup soccer games in Russia and the slogan is ‘Strengthen your defence! #getvax #vaccineswork’.

Since its inception, more than 720 million people of all ages have been vaccinated against vaccine preventable diseases.

“The vaccination week initiative has been used to integrate other promotional and preventive health procedures into vaccination activities as well as highlight the importance of maintaining the achievements obtained in the region through vaccination,” the statement said.

The goals of vaccination week are to: -Improve access to vaccination for people of all ages through outreach to the underserved communities.

-Increase vaccination coverages

of all vaccines.

-Raise awareness about vaccine preventable diseases and the importance of being immunised.

-Promote vaccination in the whole family.

-Boost other public health activities.

The Americas have been the global leader in the elimination of vaccine preventable diseases for many years.

It was the first to eradicate small pox and the first to eliminate polio, measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome and neonatal tetanus.

“It is important for the region to sustain the elimination efforts particularly because of our risk of

importation of these diseases from other areas such as Europe, Asia and Africa through travel,” the Ministry of Health said.

Outreach activities will be held in day care centres, schools and communities across the TCI during World Immunisation Week.

Vaccines are offered free of charge at all government operated clinics to people of all ages.

For more information on vaccines contact the healthcare provider or any of the public health nurses on the following numbers: Grand Turk at 338-5462, South Caicos at 9463216 or 946-3800, North Caicos at 946-7194 and Providenciales at 338-5474 or 946-5613.

Explaining the unexplainable Dear Editor, A piece in the Dec 23 2017 - Jan 5, 2018, TC Weekly News titled: ‘AG seeks to clarify Governor’s statutory body oversight’ reads: “Attorney General Rhondalee Braithwaite Knowles has offered a ‘clarification’ of the Government’s legislative proposal to grant the Governor oversight over statutory bodies in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“During a House of Assembly meeting on Monday (December 18) the Attorney General, on the instruction of the premier, told members of the House that the proposed bill to amend the Public Finance Management Ordinance actually seeks to ‘strengthen the role of government over statutory bodies.’”

Please take a minute to let that sink in fellow TC Islanders.

We are in serious trouble when it is the AG who has to come out, on the instruction of the premier, to ‘dress up’ and sell us something the governor wants to do.

If this move is so wonderful for the people of the TCI, why is it the governor, top man sent by the Crown, has not come out and announced it himself but instead opting to have two TC Islanders do it for him.

Moreover, are they being instructed to do this by the governor and his bosses, or is this of their own freewill?

Whatever it is, this is quite distressing. I for one feel quite let down more than I have for most things that have occurred in the TCI in the past three and a half decades since going away.

Yes, this year makes 35 years since I left to attain my education and career. In that time, many TC Islanders, including these two individuals of the highest profile

positions of ‘premier’ and ‘attorney general’, have done the same.

So, we should be way ahead now, should we not?

But consider this. At my leaving, all those years ago, those in the top roles of local governance did whatever the Crown’s agent, the governor, wished done.

Now 35 years later, education and career milestones notwithstanding, these top-profilers are doing the same thing today.

Now do you see why this is so distressing and disappointing?

Moreover, who is representing the people of the TCI and based on this conduct can we honestly say that these two individuals are?

Anyone familiar with TCI Constitution should know that the AG does not represent the people of the territory.

They, like the governor, represent the interests of the Crown and are the legal authority charged with seeing that those interests are carried out.

So, let us not be fooled into thinking that because Mrs Braithwaite-Knowles is a TC Islander like the rest of us, she shares the same goals of the general TCI populace as far as her duties are concerned. She does not!

But there should be no animosity or angst towards her because of this. This is the reality of her job in this pathetic, outdated and nonprogressive colonial framework that our country has been burdened with for four centuries now.

It is for this very reason I have insisted that our Crown land not be under the AG office as it has been since the interim government took over, following the last Commission of Inquiry.

Despite the fact that it is called

‘Crown land’, it is the property and birthright of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Granted, elected officials at the time disqualified themselves from this responsibility. But this was no reason to put our most valuable resource under this office that does not represent the people of the TCI. I have maintained that it should have been put under the office of the National Trust and its Director, Ms Ethlyn Gibbs.

Her job is to secure and preserve our national heritage and as such she should have been made the ‘governess’ of overseeing preservation of our precious lands.

Not the AG! This should be corrected immediately.

Now, as the article states, Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson instructed the AG to make this explanation on behalf of the governor about this radical statutory board change.

That, in itself, should set off alarm bells. She was elected by the majority of the TCI electorate to represent and push for their interests, unlike the AG. That being the case, can this leader look TC Islanders in the face and tell them that this action she is directing of gifting such crucial local governance functions to a man not chosen by our people, and not tied to any commitment to ensuring our well-being, is for their benefit?

It has been a constant that the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) has steadfastly maintained a healthy distance from the British ‘overseeing’ colonial machinery.

A wise move, as one must be a fool to believe that unfamiliar and unchosen men of a different colour and race have come all the

way across the ocean to secure our interests.

By this action, is the current PDM leader and Premier, Mrs Cartwright Robinson, abandoning this selfpreservation tactic that is a PDM hallmark?

If so what would the party’s original founder, JAGS McCartney, think of her? Really.

Can those of us who know him see JAGS directing a government official to go out and convince the people that their fellow-citizens should be separated from powers they have, and those powers handed to a British governor?

JAGS always pulled me aside to hear my thoughts and share his. As such I know him well. No more than anyone else, but enough to know that the sun, moon, AND stars would have to fall from the sky before he

would do any such thing.

And what should those who chose this premier and her party to represent them think of her, and this version of their party?

Granted the statutory boards do need serious overhaul to enhance transparency and accountability.

But are we to believe that it is only a white man who can offer these much-needed improvements?

What a disappointment, as it endorses the very thing that has burdened the shoulders of the TCI peoples for four centuries.

Colonialism!

Such action by TCI leadership is unexplainable, disappointing, and alarming.

These large companies come in with huge promises to provide jobs for our people, it’s evident that’s not the case.

Despite the advertisement in the papers, very few locals are able to secure these jobs. And to add insult to injury, the revenue does not stay in the country.

If so, Grand Turk would be in a far better position than it is today. One must realise the small businesses are the ones driving the local economy.

Honourable Premier, Honourable Mr Ralph Higgs, we understand your plight and the challenges facing the government, but we need your help please!

Youngsters plant a tree at Cheshire Hall Plantation in Providenciales

Community plants trees at National Trust site ABOUT two dozen native trees have been added to the Cheshire Hall Plantation landscape to replace those lost during last year’s hurricanes.

Members of several TCI organisations met at the National Trust site in Providenciales to help with the project last Friday (April 20).

The tree planting event was sponsored by Beaches Turks and Caicos, which provided the trees, and was hosted by the Turks and Caicos National Trust.

Trust director Ethlyn GibbsWilliams said: “Today is about showing appreciation for what we have inherited from Mother Nature, while educating others on how to preserve our natural habitat.”

Students and teachers from Clement Howell High School’s Environmental Club and the Government’s pine recovery project manager Bryan Manco also assisted with the planting.

The activity coincided with international Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, and was a follow-up to the Earth Day 100 Trees Initiative which started in 2016.

According to a Government press release on Tuesday (April 24), the National Trust was grateful to receive the gift of trees as the site lost 30 percent of its trees to hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Among the trees planted were

seagrapes, silver buttonwood, green buttonwood, ruellia, hibiscus and Caribbean Caicos pine.

The Caicos pine is an endemic tree, regarded as the national tree of the TCI, and is an important part of the territory’s ecosystem. A recovery project is currently underway.

“The Turks and Caicos National Trust is an ardent supporter of environmental protection and advocates for safeguarding the country’s natural heritage,” the statement read.

“This Earth Day tree planting exercise will certainly encourage the efforts of the National Trust in propagating native plants in the nursery at the historical site.”

Earth Day, or the International Day for Mother Earth, is the largest civic day in the world that promotes the importance of trees and keeping the earth clean and green.

Trees have a very important role in absorbing carbon, cleaning and cooling the air, stabilising soils, recycling nutrients for agriculture and supporting habitats for wildlife.

Beaches PR manager Elanor Krzanowski said: “Earth Day is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment, so we found it fitting to host a native tree planting project at the one of our most cherish historical sites.”

Staff wear t-shirts in recognition of Autism Awareness Month

Ashley’s Learning Centre pupils enjoy a music session at the high school

Centre pupils enjoy high school tour PUPILS from a specialist school in Providenciales visited Clement Howell High School recently where they were given a tour and enjoyed a music session.

Ashley’s Learning Centre caters to children with disabilities and provides them with a safe and productive learning environment.

It was founded by Angela Williams Valerio who needed an educational facility for her daughter who has autism and quickly expanded to welcome several other youngsters.

In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, a teacher and students from the centre visited the local high school, according to a Government statement on Wednesday (April 25).

The school often sends teachers to assist with lessons at Ashley’s Learning Centre and Tourism Club students also volunteer with the children.

When the centre pupils arrived, the high school principal and students welcomed the group and joined the tour with them.

“The groups of students who

came enjoyed interacting with the students from Clement Howell and they were excited to be in ‘regular school’,” the statement read.

They met other teachers in the staffrooms, toured the labs and ended with a session at the music room.

“The students were able to play instruments and for those who are already knowledgeable of playing the instruments, they showed their skills.”

The teachers wore t-shirts to celebrate the initiative and also organised a small fundraising effort in order to make a contribution to the centre on behalf of the school.

ExtraOrdinary Minds - Ashley’s Learning Centre is a small, nonprofit institution created to nurture and develop young children with mild to severe disabilities.

The income of the school goes entirely to the payment of the staff.

Some of the children attend the centre at no cost.

Annual fundraisers are held to lower the cost of therapies necessary for the children.

Last weekend the PNP hosted a seminal leadership event as the party moves forward in the process of building a broad national consensus and a better understanding of the principle of authenticity as it applies to leadership. Attendees included party members, former leaders and other interested parties.

PNP seeks to propel principled leadership during seminal event

BY DELANA ISLES LAST weekend members of the Progressive National Party (PNP) embarked on a conference intended to pave the way for a younger and brighter leadership.

The seminar comes just a few short months following current party leader and leader of the opposition Charles Washington Misick’s decision to step back and give the younger generation a shot at charting the course to 2020.

Over the course of two days April 20 and 21 - members were invited to listen to and engage with a series of high profile speakers from the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas and Jamaica.

Feature speaker for the conference was Dr Luz Longsworth, pro-vicechancellor and principal of the

University of the West Indies Open Campus.

Her research focus at the teaching institution is in the fields of leadership development and organisational transformation in higher learning.

Other speakers were Pastor Bradley Handfield of the Community Fellowship Central Assemblies of God who presented on principled centred leadership and Lillian Swann-Misick, former member of the House of Assembly who spoke on authentic leadership.

Bahamas opposition appointed senator Jobeth Colbey-Davis, who represents a new voice in politics in that country, also spoke, as did Kyle Smith, president of the Chamber of Commerce who gave a presentation on fostering youth leadership.

Finally, Carlos Simons, senior partner at Miller, Simons and

O’Sullivan law firm, spoke on the rule of law and leadership.

In her presentation on level five leadership, Dr Longsworth questioned why is there a need to have a conversation, and if there is a genuine search for change.

“Leaders have to be aware that life is not the same as it was, and the same solutions and models cannot solve the problems of today or even imagine the problems of tomorrow.”

She also spoke on how, in today’s changing landscape, leaders can create a framework of stability for their people.

She mentioned the technological changes, environmental sustainability, and social changes in terms of integration and identity, the latter of which she pointed out is not unique to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

She outlined that when looking at leadership, one should take into account the who, what and the how of leadership.

“You’re looking at what is the focus of the leadership, therein,” Dr Longsworth noted.

She also stated that in the 21st century the leadership tools that worked before cannot and should be adapted in moving forward.

Focusing on the five levels of leadership, Dr Longsworth first outlined the Jim Collins concept of level five leadership.

“Collins said in any team you have five levels of leaders, level one is the highly capable individual, that’s the person who contributes through their talents, they have their knowledge, their skills…they come to work early.

“Level two is where that person

becomes a contributing team member, they are not just doing their jobs.

“Doing your job is good, but then you have to contribute to the team’s progress, you start contributing to individuals’ abilities to achieve group objectivity, you work effectively with others.

“Level three speaks about the competent manager, that’s the person who can organise the resources, that is the person who can organise people and pursue the objectives of the organisations.

“Level four is the effective leader, that’s the person that has a vision, can catalyse commitment to that vision and pursue the vision and stimulate high performing standards.

“Level one to four we all know those persons.

“Level five, that is the person

April 28 - May 4, 2018

that builds greatness that will last.

That’s the person who transforms the organisation. That person does so through humility on one hand and professional will on the other hand.

“Humility is one side of achieving greatness, but it’s not the only side to achieving greatness.”

Dr Longsworth noted that other factors in level five leadership include things like having the right people on the bus.

She also advised that all levels of leadership are important to achieving the overall goal, and ought to be taken seriously.

Throughout her hours long presentation, Dr Longsworth interacted constantly with the audience, engaging them on their understanding and perceptions about what it takes to be a leader.

CALL OF THE LEADER During his presentation, Kyle Smith focused on an aspect that has been the call of the current party leader, Washington Misick since announcing his imminent retirement as party leader - that of fostering and encouraging youth leadership within the PNP party.

Smith noted that the greatest concern for the TCI lies with the future of Belonger youths where the

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

majority (178 out of 330) do not see a future in the TCI. Conversely, he added, migrant children have expressed a very positive outlook when it comes to living in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“Although I stand here as Kyle Smith the current president of the Chamber of Commerce Providenciales, I want to make it evidently clear that I also stand here as a non-partisan individual, a Turks and Caicos Islander, an activist and social entrepreneur.

“I stand here because I am a believer and advocate of change, an advocate that believes in the power of our people, our youth and their vital role in the growth of our Turks and Caicos.”

He noted that fostering youth leadership is a topic that spans and baffles generation after generation.

Fostering: to encourage or promote the development of something, regarded typically as good. Youth: The appearance, freshness, vigour, spirit etc, characteristics of one who is young. Leadership: The action of guiding a group or organization, Smith explained.

“As an agent for change the question that stood out for me as I pondered these definitions over and

over, through and through was: how do you encourage a future - forward thinking - approach to leadership that offers inclusion of our fresh, vibrant spirited people in the exercise of country building.”

Smith said that the answer to that question, did not come right away, but when it did it was a glaring moment right before his eyes.

“That moment came when I realised that we cannot understand where we are going if we don’t know where we have come from.

“We cannot begin to foster true leadership in the country if we have no knowledge of our leadership journey.

“We can also not foster true leadership if there is not active inclusion of our past leader in the aiding and construction of growth to our future leaders.”

He said that his curiosity led him to question a few things, such as: through each generation of leadership does the data suggest that there is a resistance to change?

“Does or will the data suggest that the youthful prospective leaders are not interested in leadership?

“Does the data show that there is a disconnect from one generation to the next?

“Does the data show

consciousness of past and present leaders to the need for continuity and succession?

“At what age did some of our most inspiring leaders lead?

“Are we at a point of convergence?

“Does leadership inspiration skip or jump a generation?

“Does or will the data suggest that the youthful prospective leaders are not interested in leadership?

“Of course, they are but they also are not,” Smith pointed out.

He said that many of the TCI’s youthful leaders are not prepared to sacrifice their independence to lead in a path of conformity.

“Does the data show that there is a disconnect from one generation to the next?

“Yes. I wonder if it is because they are not prepared to let go. In fact, when you look at the difference in ages there is definitely a disconnect.

“Is it because there is a lack of preparation or lack of interest.

“Yes…if there wasn’t resistance then we would have had more millennial leaders.”

He said that there is no consciousness between the past, present and future leaders, stating that as long as the path to leadership is towing party lines, there will never be true leadership consciousness.

NEWS 15

“As long as my grandparents and parents continue to vote down the line and not with substance there will be no substance to future leadership.

“As long as the path for the youth is to engage in the existing orthodox approach, we will have more of the same.”

Smith also reflected on the average age that past leaders began their leadership journeys, noting that the average age of some of the TCI’s top leaders such as chief ministers and premiers was that of 37.5.

Norman Saunders 24, Nathaniel Francis, 68, Jags McCartney, 31, Oswald Skippings, 22, Derek Taylor, 37, Washington Misick 40, Dr Rufus Ewing, 43, Michael Misick, 25, Sharlene Cartwright Robinson, 45.

Bringing the overall average age of leadership pool over generations to 39, Smith said.

He stated that context and challenges of leading today have changed dramatically, as such there needs to be a radically different approach to the way leadership is fostered amongst the youth.

Smith pointed out that as the idea of fostering new youth leadership is now a topic of discussion, it has to occur with little resistance and resentment.

The Sailrock Resort team was “thrilled” to participate in the clean-up drive

Keeping the garden safe for the children Volunteers collected rubbish from roads, pathways and the marina

Resort staff collect litter in South Caicos EMPLOYEES from Sailrock Resort kicked off their Earth Day celebrations with an island-wide effort to rid South Caicos of litter.

Volunteers collected rubbish from roads, pathways, the marina, community gathering spots like Queen’s Parade Grounds and local residences.

They were led in their efforts by reservations manager Eka Arsani and cost controller Paul Elliott.

“As a local South Caicos resident and past student of Marjorie Basden High School, it was indeed my pleasure to participate and work alongside some of the students and volunteers,” Elliott said.

“I was thrilled to hear about the opportunity to participate in a clean-

up campaign and I look forward to many more.”

Earth Day, which is aimed at supporting environmental protection and promoting sustainability, is celebrated annually by the Turks and Caicos Hotel Association.

The association hosts the annual TCI Shines event in conjunction with resorts throughout the TCI where volunteers clean up litter to preserve the territory’s natural beauty.

According to a press release from Sailrock Resort on Thursday (April 26), volunteers were “thrilled” to participate because they understand the importance of sustainability and supporting a clean environment in a small community.

The resort donated supplies

such as garbage bags, gloves for protection, drinking water and provided equipment for the volunteers.

“Sailrock Resort, which previously founded the South Caicos Heritage Foundation to support the South Caicos community following hurricane Irma, remains committed to continuing their efforts of preserving and supporting the rich history and culture of South Caicos,” the press release read.

The Earth Day Network was founded on April 22, 1970, and is the world’s largest environmental movement.

More information on participating in next year’s TCI Shines is available at www.turksandcaicoshta.com

ONCE your toddler is mobile there’s a whole new world for her to explore! But you will want to make sure she is safe as she learns about the great outdoors.

Here are some safety tips for when you’re out and about: Never leave your toddler unsupervised in the garden.

Make sure that you or another trusted adult is always around to keep an eye on her.

Check that the area has no sharp objects, such as gardening tools or broken bottles.

Watch your toddler particularly closely if she is playing in a paddling pool or near water. If you have a pond, fence it off, cover it securely or fill it in.

Make sure your toddler can’t get out onto the road or into other gardens.

Fix any gaps in fences and make sure that there are no exposed nails.

If garden railings or hedges have openings wider than three inches, block them up with boards or safety netting.

Create a separate pet area in your garden. If this isn’t possible, clear up any mess before your toddler goes on the grass.

If you have a dog flap, make sure it is locked when your toddler is around. It may offer an easy escape route into the garden.

Check your garden for poisonous plants and remove them or fence the area off. Even if you put them out of reach, the berries or leaves may fall on the floor. Berries can also be a choking hazard.

Don’t leave power tools, gardening implements or chemicals, such as weed killer and fertiliser, lying around the garden.

When you’re having a barbecue, keep your toddler well away from the grill.

If you have a sandpit keep it covered. Otherwise neighbourhood pets are likely to see it as their own personal bathroom!

Don’t forget to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when the weather is hot.

Take extra care around plants with sharp thorns, such as bougainvillea and agave, and consider fencing them off or removing them.

Bear in mind that gravel and small stones can be choking hazards for your toddler.

Bahamas: 2020 vision to ban plastics and Styrofoam

The 5 foot 11 inches Trinidadian contestant edged out 15 others to win

Trinidadian wins 2018 Caribbean’s Next Top Model TWENTY-one-year-old LeShae Riley received this year’s coveted Caribbean’s Next Top Model title as season four came to a nail-biting finish on Flow 1.

The 5 foot 11 inches Trinidadian contestant edged out 15 others including Suriname’s Daphne Veldkamp in the keenly contested finals.

Speaking of her experience during the show, Riley said she learnt invaluable lessons along the way.

“I have learnt that I am stronger than I know. I had to bring my A game as my fiercest competition Daphne gave me a run for my money, literally, especially after she won the best picture challenge during last week’s episode.”

According to a press release from Flow on Thursday (April 26), the season four winner sees this as another big step in the pursuit of her passion for modelling.

She walked away with $25,000 in cash, a latest generation smart phone courtesy of Flow, a cover photo spread in SHE Caribbean magazine and a contract with Mint Model Management, NYC. Viewers in Trinidad could not contain their excitement and expressed their delight via social media as not just one but two

Trinidadians made it to the top three.

Wendy McDonald, Flow’s senior director of Caribbean, also congratulated Riley.

“We are delighted to be able to give young ladies like LeShae their moment in the spotlight, beaming them across the region, providing them with unmatched exposure,” she said.

“Flow continues to support and invest in indigenous Caribbean content which allows customers across the region to watch the things that they are truly passionate about and at the same time provides an important platform for regional content producers.”

Executive producer of the contest, Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam, said: “Season four of CaribeNTM has all the elements of a great production - exciting new talent, a regional platform provided

by Flow, a magnificent product and an enhanced fashion and beauty industry - what a combination.”

Flow TV customers can catch the entire season of Caribbean’s Next Top Model using Flow’s Video on Demand service.

Caribbean’s Next Top Model is produced by Starfish Media, based on the ‘Next Top Model’ format licensed by CBS Studios International.

ENVIRONMENT and Housing Minister Romauld Ferreira on Monday officially announced his ministry’s initiative to ban single-use plastics and Styrofoam in the country

by January 1, 2020 - a move he said would have a significant impact on waste at the New Providence Landfill.

Mr Ferreira also spoke about the long-term health and environment impacts from single-use plastics such as disposable utensils, straws and shopping bags - and Styrofoam, which contribute to street and ocean litter as well as health disorders when chemicals from these products are leached into food.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce, Mr Ferreira said the first round of public consultations on the ban is projected to start at the end of April. A memorandum of understanding was also signed between the minster and Chamber of Commerce yesterday.

The target deadline for the required legislation is August this year.

The ministry is also working on making the release of balloons into the air illegal, as these contribute to ocean pollution.

This initiative is being hailed as “the first step towards developing a national waste management strategy

for The Bahamas”.

When asked how much of an impact the ban would have on the current state of the landfill, Mr Ferreira said it would be very significant. He also added progress has been made on the selection of a new operator of the landfill, with hopes to make an announcement by June.

“As it stands now, a significant portion of the waste that we get at the landfill is single use plastics-- plastic

bags, etc,” he said.

“So in terms of its significance, once we get to the point where we could significantly reduce it coming into the country, then we would have significantly reduced the amount of waste we generate for that category.”

In terms of the impact on businesses that rely on the use of plastic bags and Styrofoam, as well as local distributors of these products, the ministry believes this will ultimately be a “win-win” situation.

Britain to set up compensation scheme for “Windrush” migrants BRITAIN will compensate some Caribbean immigrants who have lived legally in Britain for decades and have wrongly been labelled illegal immigrants because of trouble documenting their status, interior minister Amber Rudd said this week.

The government will also waive fees associated with becoming a citizen and ensure these long-term British residents do not have to pass Britain’s citizenship test, Rudd told parliament.

Instead, she said individuals would be assigned a case worker who would decide on nationality, and the burden of proof has been shifted so the government would take a more lenient approach.

“The state has let these people down,” Rudd said. “None of this can undo the pain already endured, but I hope it demonstrates the government’s commitment to put these wrongs right going forward.”

Thousands of people from the “Windrush generation” were invited to Britain to plug labour shortfalls

West Indian immigrants arrive at Victoria Station from Southampton Docks in 1956.

between 1948 and 1971, but some of them and their descendants have been caught out by tighter immigration rules.

Some of these migrants have been asked to provide documentary evidence of their life in Britain they had never previously been required to keep, and in some cases denied

rights, detained and threatened with deportation.

The crisis has cast Britain in an unsympathetic light and raised awkward questions about how the aggressive pursuit of lower immigration sits alongside the desire to be an outward-looking global economy.

Royal wedding: William to be Harry’s best man for Meghan marriage PRINCE Harry has asked his brother Prince William to be his best man at his wedding to Meghan Markle, Kensington Palace has said.

Prince Harry had been the Duke of Cambridge’s best man at his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011.

The wedding will take place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on 19 May. More than 600 guests have been invited to the ceremony with 1,000 members of the public being welcomed to the grounds of Windsor Castle.

A further 200 guests - including the Spice Girls - have been invited to the couple’s evening reception.

In a statement, Kensington Palace said: “The Duke of Cambridge is honoured to have been asked, and is very much looking forward to supporting his brother.”

The palace also tweeted a picture of the pair of Princes when they were boys wearing police helmets.

Earlier this week, the palace announced the list of musicians who will be playing at the wedding.

They include a gospel choir and 19-year-old cellist Sheku KannehMason, who won the 2016 BBC’s

The French president (left) raised differences on global trade, Iran and the environment, with US president Donald Trump.

Prince Harry will marry Meghan Markle on 19 May in Windsor.

Young Musician.

Before his brother’s wedding in 2011, Prince Harry said his best man’s speech would “dig (Prince William) in the ribs a few times and embarrass him” and “make him lose some hair”.

In an interview with Rio Ferdinand in January, Prince William joked that his brother had not yet asked him to be the best man and “it could be a sensitive issue”.

The May wedding will be the

second time within a month to see Ms Markle as a bride.

The actor’s exit from the series Suits was shown on TV on Wednesday with her character getting married.

Meanwhile, the wait continues for the name of Prince William and Catherine’s third child who was born on Monday to be announced.

The new prince weighed 8lb 7oz and is fifth in line to the throne.

Suspect in Toronto van attack expressed anger at women before rampage THE man identified as the van driver who traumatised Toronto was a socially troubled computer studies graduate who briefly joined Canada’s military last year and posted a hostile message toward women on Facebook moments before his deadly rampage, according to accounts by police and his acquaintances on Tuesday.

The suspect, Alek Minassian, 25, was charged in a Toronto court with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder one day after the van rampage along the sidewalk of a busy Toronto street.

Police have said that Minassian, a resident of the Richmond Hill suburb of Toronto, appeared to have intentionally struck the victims in what was likely to count as Canada’s deadliest vehicular assault.

Government officials have said the attack did not appear to be an act of terrorism but have not ruled it out.

The rampage shattered a peaceful Monday afternoon when a white Ryder rental van roared down Yonge Street, a main Toronto thoroughfare, and plowed into pedestrians along a nearly 1-mile stretch. Ten people were killed by the van, which police said Minassian had rented that morning.

Ten people died in the attack, while 13 were injured.

Detective Sgt. Graham Gibson of the Toronto police said 14 people were hurt – not 15 as authorities had earlier reported – with wounds ranging from “scrapes and bruises to terrible injuries.” He declined to specify the genders of the victims.

The driver stopped the van on a sidewalk and engaged in a tense standoff with the police, claiming to be armed and daring officers to shoot him in the head. He surrendered

seven minutes after police received the first emergency call.

While police did not disclose a motive for the rampage, interviews with former acquaintances of Minassian, witnesses and others, and his now-deleted Facebook account, portray him as a troubled young man who harbored resentments toward women, had a penchant for computer programming and appeared determined to die.

Macron attacks nationalism in speech to US Congress FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron has used his speech to the joint houses of the US Congress to denounce nationalism and isolationism.

Mr Macron said such policies were a threat to global prosperity.

The speech was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on President Donald Trump’s America First agenda.

Mr Macron also raised differences on global trade, Iran and the environment, seemingly in contrast to the warm friendliness of his visit.

The French president was given a three-minute standing ovation as he took his place in the chamber for his speech.

He hailed the “unbreakable bonds” of the US and France, forged in “liberty, tolerance and equal rights”.

He has developed a strong relationship with President Trump, and was in Washington as the first foreign leader to be afforded a US state visit by the Trump White House.

But the French president’s comments showed that the pair do not agree on all subjects.

Mr Macron said isolationism, withdrawal and nationalism “can be tempting to us as a temporary remedy to our fears. But closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world. It will not douse but inflame the fears of our citizens”.

He added: “We will not let the rampaging work of extreme nationalism shake a world full of hopes for greater prosperity.”

Mr Macron said that the US had invented multilateralism and now needed to reinvent it to create a new 21st Century world order.

He said the UN and the NATO military alliance might not be able to fulfil their mandates and assure stability if the West ignored the new dangers arising in the world.

On trade, Mr Macron said that

“commercial war is not the proper answer”, as it would “destroy jobs and increase prices”, adding: “We should negotiate through the World Trade Organization. We wrote these rules, we should follow them.”

Mr Trump has in the past said that trade wars are good and easily won.

He has taken on Europe and China with new tariffs, saying the US has suffered from unfair trade practices.

On another issue of difference, Iran, Mr Macron said his country would not abandon a nuclear deal with Tehran that was agreed by world powers when President Barack Obama was in office but which Mr Trump has branded “terrible”.

Mr Macron said: “This agreement may not address all concerns, and very important concerns. This is true. But we should not abandon it without having something more substantial instead.”

But he added: “Iran shall never possess any nuclear weapons. Not now. Not in five years. Not in 10 years. Never.”

On the environment, he said by “polluting the oceans, not mitigating CO2 emissions and destroying biodiversity we are killing our planet.

Let us face it, there is no Planet B”.

Donald Trump last year withdrew the US from the Paris global climate accord, another landmark Obama achievement, saying it was a “very bad deal for the US”.

The accord, signed by nearly 200 countries, aims to cut damaging emissions.

Mr Macron’s wide-ranging address highlighted numerous political and cultural links, citing American Revolutionary War officer Marquis de Lafayette, writer and feminist Simone de Beauvoir, Abraham Lincoln, author Ernest Hemingway, the founder of French romanticism François-René Chateaubriand and both Presidents Roosevelt.

World News Windrush: Amber Rudd facing fresh calls to quit AMBER Rudd is facing fresh calls to quit as home secretary after it emerged officials were set targets for the removal of illegal immigrants.

On Wednesday Ms Rudd denied targets were used, when she faced MPs investigating the problems faced by the Windrush generation.

She has now admitted to “local targets” for “internal performance management” but said she had not known about them.

She vowed to ban them if they were being used “inappropriately”.

But Labour’s shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said Ms Rudd should resign as a matter of “honour” after confirming the existence of the targets, which union officials have said are prominently displayed on posters at regional immigration centres.

She told BBC News Ms Rudd was “trying to blame officials” but that was not how the Home Office worked and the “direction will have come from the centre”.

She did not see how Ms Rudd could survive in her job, she added, “unless she is only there as a human shield for Theresa May”.

Asked how the targets had impacted on Windrush migrants, Ms Abbott said: “Immigration officials may have been looking for soft targets in the shape of West Indian pensioners who don’t have hot shot lawyers.”

Her Labour frontbench colleague, Dawn Butler, told the BBC’s Daily Politics Mrs May was “presiding over a government that has policies that are institutionally racist”.

The SNP’s home affairs spokeswoman Alison Thewlis also called for Ms Rudd’s resignation, saying she was presiding over a department “out of control” and it was “no surprise” targets existed as there was “a litany of callous

incompetence” at the Home Office.

Conservative backbenchers, including Sir Nicholas Soames and Philip Davies rallied behind Ms Rudd, with Mr Davies saying most members of the public backed tougher action against illegal immigration and accused Labour and the SNP of being “out of touch with working class communities”.

Answering an urgent question in the Commons, Ms Rudd said: “I have never agreed that there should be specific removal targets and I would never support a policy that puts targets ahead of people.

“The immigration arm of the Home Office has been using local targets for internal performance management.

“These were not published targets against which performance was assessed, but if they were used inappropriately then I am clear that this will have to change.

“I have asked officials to provide me with a full picture of performance measurement tools which are used at all levels, and will update the House and the Home Affairs select committee as soon as possible.”

An inspection report from December 2015, seen by the BBC, showed targets for the voluntary departures of people regarded as having no right to stay in the UK existed at that time.

The Windrush row erupted after it emerged relatives of migrants from Commonwealth Caribbean countries who settled in the UK from the late 1940s to the 1970s had been declared illegal immigrants if they could not provide a range of documentation which proved they had lived in the UK continuously.

Some of the Windrush generation have been threatened with deportation, lost their jobs or been refused access to medical treatment.

Judge: Bars are allowed to throw out Trump supporters A MANHATTAN judge ruled Wednesday that there’s nothing “outrageous” about throwing the president’s supporters out of bars — because the law doesn’t protect against political discrimination.

Philadelphia accountant Greg Piatek, 31, was bounced from a West Village watering hole in January 2017, just after Trump took the oath of office, for wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, according to his lawsuit over the incident.

“Anyone who supports Trump — or believes in what you believe — is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” Piatek claims the staff of The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street told him after he and his pals complained about the rude service they were getting from a bartender.

So he sued in Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming the incident “offended his sense of being American.”

But on Wednesday, when the bar’s lawyer, Elizabeth Conway, pointed out that only religious, and not political, beliefs are protected under state and city discrimination laws, saying, “supporting Trump is not a religion” — Piatek pivoted.

“The purpose of the hat is that he wore it because he was visiting the 9/11 Memorial,” his attorney Paul Liggieri told Justice David Cohen in court Wednesday.

“He was paying spiritual tribute to the victims of 9/11. The Make American Great Again hat was part of his spiritual belief,” Liggieri claimed. Piatek and his pals had, in fact, visited the memorial before the bar.

“Rather than remove his hat, instead he held true to his spiritual

belief and was forced from the bar,” Liggieri said.

When the judge asked how the bar employees were supposed to be aware of Piatek’s unusual religious beliefs, Liggieri answered, “They were aware he was wearing the hat.”

The judge pressed Liggieri on the idea of his client’s professed creed.

“How many members are in this spiritual program that your client is engaged in?” the judge asked.

“Your honour, we don’t allege the amount of individuals,” Liggieri said.

“So, it’s a creed of one?” the judge asked.

“Yes, your honour,” Liggieri replied.

After nearly an hour of argument the judge took a short break and then returned to the bench with his ruling.

“Plaintiff does not state any faithbased principle to which the hat relates,” Cohen said in tossing the case.

Piatek had sued for unspecified emotional damages, but the judge said the incident amounted to nothing more than a “petty” slight.

“Here the claim that plaintiff was not served and eventually escorted out of the bar because of his perceived support for President Trump is not outrageous conduct,” the judge ruled.

Liggieri said he plans to review the decision to determine whether or not to appeal. (NYPost)

Helcy-ann Sauver has been outstanding this season.

it has been a long journey but I’m happy with the outcome. My team is now the SIAC Women’s Champions once again. It feels good to be apart and to have contributed to that. I was kind of shaky going into both the 100&200 finals because I went in as the fastest loser for the 100 and I went in 5th for the 200. But was able to capture two medals for both races. You probably never heard of me on the 4x4 but I did the 2nd leg like always and I ran my heart out on it today I knew we would win but I wanted to make sure that they had a lead that wouldn’t be able to close.

4x1 same thing, got the baton and did my thing on the backstretch for my team we came out with the win in that too. I’m just ready to reload and be ever better next year I have a lot of things to work on still.”

The Bruins, who were down 1-3 after the opening period, made a run in the second, but the Predators closed the game with three consecutive strikes.

Commonwealth Games Federation flip resulted in Haye-Smith’s late exclusion

A late decision by the Commonwealth Games Federation to support a ban by the IAAF resulted in the exclusion of 400M specialist Yanique HayeSmith from the Turks and Caicos national team, according to president of the TCAAA Edith Skippings.

The wife of the local Commonwealth Games Association president Alvirto ‘Ali’ Smith was aiming to make her official TCI debut after she was initially given the all clear to travel to Australia, but the international CG body made a U-turn on the decision due to a transferal freeze that had been in place by the IAAF since February 2017.

The 27-year-old has been patiently waiting to become a TCI athlete since immigrating here in 2013.

Haye-Smith had told this publication that if the TCAAA had been more proactive, she could have become eligible before the freeze last year.

“Jamaica had released me from 2014 before the freeze and the President of the TCAAA never responded to the IAAF that her country accepted me. Even though I was only a resident at the time.

Only if she had replied to the IAAF before the freeze I would have gotten the chance last year at the World

Championship and this year at the Commonwealth Games to compete for TCI. So I’ll have to wait another year to compete for Turks and Caicos,” a frustrated Haye-Smith had told the Weekly News after sitting out the Games in Australia.

The TCAAA head however stated that it was protocols and a lack of belonger status which dictated HayeSmith’s faith.

“We could not accept her because she had no status, so there could be no transfer of allegiance. And we spoke with the relevant person at IAAF, they said that they could not accept her until she gets her belonger status,” Skippings recently told the Weekly News.

Haye-Smith received her belonger status in December last year and will be up for consideration when the IAAF meet in July.

MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE Current first VP of the TCAAA Alvirto Smith told the Weekly News this week that although there were certain protocols in place had the TCAAA been more proactive, HayeSmith could have gotten past the IAAF freeze of 2017.

He said that in 2014 when

Ace hurdler Yanique Haye-Smith clocked 56.37s at the meet.

Edith Skippings said that once the IAAF grants Yanique HayeSmith permission she would be welcomed into the track and field team for international competitions.

Jamaica released the athlete, the TCAAA received two tasks to follow up on: to inform the IAAF that they had accepted the former Jamaican sprinter and to provide a proof of status to the international body.

He said that although at the time Yanique was only a resident, her citizenship was being worked on and had the TCAAA informed the IAAF

that they had accepted the sprinter; the international body would have opened a file of transferal.

“Had Edith completed the response in 2014, a file would have been open for Yanique, pending review once all the remaining items were attached. We followed up every week from when she (Yanique) submitted her interest to transfer in April 2014. Edith sat on the info.”

Smith added that correspondents from the IAAF indicated that the body did not have on record a request from Turks and Caicos Islands to review Haye-Smith’s eligibility from 2014 (or any time after that leading up to February 2017).

“We made a request to Edith for a letter of support to fast track Yanique Citizenship Application. She refused to assist.”

Skippings though is of the opinion that only belonger status would have resulted in the IAAF transferal and passed on a correspondent from the IAAF’s council member Helen Delany who communicated with the TCAAA in April this year.

“Whilst the IAAF received confirmation of Ms Haye-Smith’s

release from Jamaica in 2014, as communicated to the TCAAA at the time, a transfer of allegiance application cannot be processed until the athlete has acquired citizenship (of the new member ie Turks & Caicos). Based on the correspondence provided to us, we understand that Ms Haye-Smith’s citizenship was granted in December 2017. This would have been the stage at which to submit a transfer of allegiance request to the IAAF but as you are aware, the IAAF’s rules regarding eligibility (transfers of allegiance) were revoked in February 2017. This means at present there are no rules permitting an athlete who has already represented one country in international competition as part of a national team to represent another, and we have not accepted any transfer requests following this date,” Delany stated.

Once given the all clear, Skippings said that Haye-Smith would be a regular inclusion in the TCI team.

“As long as she is given the all clear she will be welcomed into the team. After July then she’ll know her faith.”vv

The Maranatha Blizzards will have to win two consecutive games if they are to take the title this season.

Novardo Higgs and Romeo Simons scored 12 points each for the Eagles, while Brandon Handfield finished with seven points and six rebounds for the Blizzards.
