Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting plans to strengthen community policing

August 24-30, 2019

Officers in Kew Town interact with residents while on foot patrol

Police to deepen relationship with community to cut crime BY OLIVIA ROSE THE POLICE force will be working to strengthen its relationship with the community and make cops accessible to residents, not just in times of distress but during their daily lives. New Police Commissioner Trevor Botting has revealed that during his three year tenure, he will attempt to enhance the force’s engagement with all communities across the TCI. Botting, who made these remarks at his swearing-in ceremony last month (July 26), explained that this policing module will change the way residents and police interact.

He stressed that as even as the force works to develop its capability to best protect those who live, work, visit and invest in the TCI, a visible and purposeful bond with the public is paramount to preventing and stemming crime. “The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is moving forward, improving its capability to serve and protect our communities,” he said. “Under my leadership, and with the support of my officers and staff, I will continue driving the force to enhance how we deliver policing across all of our communities. “I am passionate about policing

and passionate about delivering the best possible service…” He said that in the coming weeks he will be reviewing the strategic objectives of the force to ensure they meet the demands of the next three years. “This I will do with my senior leadership team and in consultation with key partners and stakeholders. “This plan will of course be shared publicly once completed. These objectives will be our focus, they will reflect the aspirations for the Turks and Caicos and centre not just on the current issues, but will drive us to build capability and capacity for the future. “However, ahead of the development of the strategic plan, I can say today that my focus will be to continue to ensure we prevent and investigate serious crime, the type of crimes that impact most on the victims, the type of crimes that people worry most about and the type of crime that has the potential to cause the TCI so much harm,” Botting said. A JOINT EFFORT The commissioner emphasised that the police force cannot singlehandedly accomplish these goals. “No force can do this alone so I will be seeking greater collaboration with both government and nongovernment agencies, partners and stakeholders and of course the community to tackle this issue and make the Turks and Caicos Islands

even safer than it is today.” Officers were out and about on foot patrols in Down Town and Kew Town, Providenciales, on Thursday, August 15. On the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands police Facebook page, officers encouraged residents to reach out to them. “This is in an effort to improve our community policing plan. Residents will now get to know the officers and vice versa, through conversations or simply sharing some crime prevention tips. “See us on foot patrol? Stop and say hello and have a chat with the officers in your community.” Botting pointed out that although the force is in good shape to tackle the challenges ahead emphasis will be placed on key areas to ensure maximum improvement on all fronts. “We need to care, listen and be responsive to community needs. This is key to improving the levels of trust and confidence in the force. “I want us to better serve victims of crime through the service we provide to those who report crimes and those most vulnerable in our communities.” He said the force can do better in putting victims first, supporting them and keeping them informed and engaged throughout the criminal justice process. EQUALITY FOR OFFICERS The commissioner outlined his plan to provide a sharper focus on

staff training and development and succession planning for the future. “We must better prepare officers for leadership roles and specialist posts as well as developing a detailed workforce plan. “This includes the recruitment and training of Turks Islanders to the force. It also includes the force being better represented by the very talented female officers and staff that work within it. “I want us to inspire, support and encourage female officers to be the best they can be. “The Turks and Caicos are blessed with a number of extraordinary female role models and I want this reflected in the force at every level. “I want to better value the challenging and often dangerous work that police officers and staff do through appropriate remuneration, working conditions and welfare support. “In return, I recognise that we must deliver a policing service that provides the highest levels of integrity, protection and care for the people of the Turks and Caicos. Our communities deserve nothing less than this. “As with all public services, there will be a cost and I will be seeking the support of the governor and Government to work with me in delivering these enhancements. “Investment now, will I know, achieve what we all want; a safe and secure TCI and a sustainable and professional police force that our communities will be proud of,” he added. In acknowledging the mammoth task facing him, the new commissioner underscored that these goals will be accomplished with a professional team of committed and passionate people within the force and a buy-in from the public.

Hon. Vaden Williams, Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services, and colleagues discuss the policy

Policy to beat poverty The Government is creating a National Population Policy to help fight poverty, inequality and social injustice

CONSULTANCY work for a National Population Policy aimed at improving the quality of life of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands is currently underway. The Government through the Ministry of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services has begun the process of developing the policy which will direct its future actions. When completed, it will assist the Government in addressing challenges and gaps affecting the population, a press release on Tuesday (August 20) said. It will guide actions to be taken by the relevant authorities in order to predict, delay and manage imbalances between demographic changes. This will take place alongside the social, economic, environmental

and political objectives of the Government and contribute to the sustainable development of the TCI. If effective the policy will eradicate poverty, increase and improve the availability and accessibility of high quality social services, and the attainment of gender equity, equality, women empowerment, social justice, youth development and development for all individuals. It will create harmonious interrelationships between population, resource utilisation and the environment, and help with development of the education, skills development and job placement of citizens. New Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour, and Employment Service, Hon. Vaden

Burglars raid Long Bay home THREE people were in a Providenciales home when two masked men made their way inside and demanded money. The incident happened at the property on Bird Street, Long Bay, at about 8pm on Wednesday (August 21), according to police reports. The two burglars, who entered

through the sliding doors, were described as a young, slim built short man, and a much older man wearing red short pants. The men made off with two bank cards. No one was injured. Anyone with information on the incident can call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-8008477.

Williams, highlighted the pillars of the policy in the press release. “An effective population policy is critical for maximising the positive outcome for all Turks and Caicos Islands citizens and the long-term development efforts that will guide the country’s growth. “I am pleased that the consultants are meeting with various stakeholders from the length and breadth of the

Islands and on their return, they will be able to meet and address the general public with their questions and concerns,” Williams added. In April of this year, Kairi Consultants of Trinidad and Tobago were contracted to undertake the consultancy for the policy. They met with key Government stakeholders including Government ministers, representatives of

ministries, Government agencies, the leader of the Opposition and members of PNP, and external stakeholders including the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism, Fortis TCI and the Chamber of Commerce last week. This is the first round of meetings and the consultants will be engaging other members of the public to help inform their work.

Armed robbers steal more vehicles

TWO more cars have been stolen in an ongoing series of violent vehicle thefts that have struck Providenciales this month. On Friday, August 16, a man was shot in the leg after offering a ride to a stranger in the Bight, according to police reports. Officers were called to the scene at 12.03am when 911 Central received information that an injured man needed assistance off South Dock Road. According to the complainant, he was driving his red Toyota Caldina car when he offered an unknown man a lift. The victim said he was taken

to South Dock Road, shot and robbed of his vehicle and wallet containing identification cards. He was later transported to Cheshire Hall Medical Centre for treatment. In a second incident, just after 2am a woman was robbed at gunpoint on Bible Street, police said. After exiting her vehicle, she was approached by two masked men who demanded money. They made off in her silver Toyota Mark X which contained a cell phone, passport and other identification cards. There were no shots fired or injuries reported in this incident. Three further car robberies

were reported in Providenciales earlier this month. A man was forced to hand over his black Nissan Note after three young men hijacked it and threatened him with a knife in Downtown Providenciales on August 11. On August 7, a gunman stole a silver Honda Accord at First Caribbean Bank on Leeward Highway after shooting the driver in the leg. And the same day a man and his female friend were robbed of cash and a black Honda CR-V. Anyone with information on any of these incidents can call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-800-8477.

STRICT ILLEGAL MIGRATION MEASURES

HON. Vaden Delroy Williams in a statement last week threatened to take stern measures to stop illegal Haitian migration to the TCI. The minister said: “A strong message has to be sent to the Haitian immigrants who are coming here and those who are helping them to come here and stay here.” Hon. Williams said the time will come when the Government will have to consider stopping first-time work permits for Haitian nationals. What are your thoughts?

Help the poor man

This word of caution must be taken seriously and properly looked after by the governor securing our borders for true and once and for all. Border security is key to our well-being, future and environment, especially our fishing banks. We cannot continue with such poor or non-existent security. The UK and governor must act now to ensure the influx of not only illegal immigrants, but also illegal fire arms, drugs, illegal pouching of our sea resources and only God knows what else is curbed. In it all, yes maybe we should have stopped Haitian first time work permits long time ago, but the interesting question would be to replace them with who? I know that Haitian labourers are valuable to local middle class people, the Filipinos have proven useless to middle class people and only good with whites and high classes. Where does leave working class people who need domestic assistance and only work for that miserable minimum wage? Kudos to the minister for the rough speech, but first of all do the right thing and call the UK out to secure our borders and after work on an alternative that helps the poor man on minimum wage.

Just talk

Same old talk. Nothing new. His predecessor said the same thing. Pure talk.

Doomed to failure

Haitians emigrate to this country illegally because they know that most of them can get jobs in the underground economy that flourishes here. When the national income in Haiti averages less than $250 per year and they realise that they can earn almost this much in only a week of labouring here, this is the incentive that leads them to risk their lives and their life savings to come to this country. Anyone thinking that the Haitian government will do anything to stop this outward flow of people is being hopelessly naïve! The Haitian economy cannot possibly support all its citizens and anyone who leaves that country is one less mouth they have to try and feed. If those emigrants are successful in finding employment here or elsewhere, they then become a source of the inward remittances that keep Haiti afloat - a double win situation for the Haitian government that they will only encourage and never try to restrict. In the last 23 years, I have not seen any evidence of any serious effort to punish those Belongers or Belonger-owned firms that knowingly employ these illegal immigrants. Particularly in the construction industry where most of these illegals work. The prevailing practice is that the major general contractors that handle the big projects will use Belonger-owned subcontractors to supply most of their labour, so that the general contractors themselves are not guilty of using

Take warning

illegal employees. This practice is both widespread and well known, and yet nothing is being done by Government to dry up these sources of employment that are the biggest attraction for illegal immigrants from all countries. While Minister Williams’ other attempts to deal with the illegal immigrant problem may well bear some results, unless he eliminates this hands off policy with regard to prosecuting those Belongers who facilitate this illegal immigration, he can be likened to someone who is patching the smaller holes in his leaky boat while leaving the big one untouched - the project is doomed to failure and the boat will sink.

A double standard

A strong message to the illegals is needed as the TCI is under siege. TC Islanders are being replaced in their own country. Illegals are aided by official elements. It is alleged they’re getting monies from the Haitian consul for settlement and business start-ups. Haiti is unstable and this is a foreign affairs, UK issue. Previous governors have resisted Bahamian patrol vessels in TCI waters to police illegal immigration. UK government policy has always aided illegal immigrants. Minister Williams is correct. TCI politicos must unite and support this decision. The chickens have come home to roost. Previous TCI governments made alliances with the migrant community to get their kids in TCI schools for votes. A UK double standard as the UK started to forfeit British passports when Haitians migrated to the UK with TCI British passports. Regional cooperation with Caricom, the Bahamas, BVI, Jamaica, Cayman, is needed to demand funding from the UK for regional patrols and a global fund to stabilise Haiti’s economy. The export of cheap labour to the TCI must end. No more work permits. If the UK wants to harbour illegals, let them pay for it, fund border controls, lead the establishment of a billion-dollar fund to keep them in their country. Better yet take them to the UK. If Haiti is revived there’d be no more illegals and those that are here will happily go home.

They will not stop by themselves. The whole Haitian embassy staff in Nassau had to be removed by the Haitian government because of the embassy helping illegals to come to the Bahamas and stay there. This is a serious matter and if the TCI doesn’t put a serious stop to their coming we will definitely find ourselves in a crisis as does the Bahamas. Many of TCI’s Belongers are away and many do intend to come back home. We don’t want to reach there and find Haitian nationals living on our ancestors’ land and we have to take legal action to remove them. Take warning from a TCI citizen living in the Bahamas, there are 49 shanty towns all over the Bahamas. They are taking the Bahamas government to court because it is asking them to vacate Crown and private lands. TCI take warning - nip this thing in the bud before it is too late.

Go deeper

Honourable Williams needs to go deeper. 1) The British government collects flight overpass monies from TCI and banks same in London. 2) The British government collects maritime traffic monies from the TCI and banks same in London. 3) The British Government has a responsibility for foreign affairs and border control of the TCI and does not spend the monies at the above on the TCI so nothing effective is being done about border control. The TCI needs one to two frigates patrolling the border between here and Haiti on a 24/7 basis; plane and drone patrol. One of those frigates will have facilities for processing on board with a data base of illegal entrants with ID and biometrics kept on board in a database. Any second-time offender will be given a six month jail sentence ie. the ID and biometrics will get around the inevitable problem of lack of ID and the giving of false names. The frigate, so equipped, does not need to come to shore to do the processing but all is done on the high seas and then simply return the illegal entrants back to Haiti. Honourable can say as much as he wants but without effective border control there is no effective border control. Sad to say, honourable is viewing the problem at high school level. He needs to graduate to a new level of understanding and make demands as an educated graduate would and understand that money has to be spent to solve the problem in any lasting and/or effective manner.

Three teens charged for car theft Police continue investigations into Kishco daylight robbery THREE teens were arrested following a brazen daylight robbery at the Kishco ‘Music Man’ store on Airport Road, Providenciales – but they have not yet been linked to the crime. According to a police report, on Wednesday (August 14) at about 3pm three armed men entered the shop and demanded money from the cashiers. Shots were fired but there were no injuries. The assailants carted off an undisclosed sum of cash in a black Nissan car. Meanwhile, officers patrolling the area responded to a report from a man who said that three armed men hijacked his silver Toyota car at about 3.39pm. They quickly tracked down the car and apprehended the three men at 3.45pm, recovering the car. Two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old were arrested. They were charged with theft of the vehicle on Friday, August 16, however they have not yet been charged with any further offences. Police press officer Takara Bain said: “We are still carrying out investigations into the Kishco Music Man robbery and the three persons charged have not been ruled out.” Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting said he pleased that the suspects were apprehended safely within minutes of the crime.

“It was a broad team effort but I specifically wanted to say thank you to the those directly involved in the arrest of the suspects. “You don’t need me to tell you how dangerous a situation this presents, given the circumstances of the robbery. “As always, I am in awe of the courage shown by officers in this situation where there is a real and known threat to them at a time when they are operating with limited information. “The officer’s training is important but so is their judgment, teamwork and most of all their courage in confronting criminals who seem to have little regard for the safety of others.” He added: “I know I speak on behalf of my force executive team colleagues when I say thank you to the officers involved all for what they do. “It is appreciated by us, the force and the communities of the TCI.” Botting added that he is concerned at the young age of the suspects.

“We are on to you, we are determined to find you, arrest you and ensure you are brought to justice. “The RTCIPF is committed to keeping the communities of the Turks and Caicos Islands safe.”

Provo shootings leave two injured A DRIVE by shooting in Kew Town and gunfire in the parking lot of a bar on Aviation Drive have left two men injured and needing hospital treatment. On Wednesday (August 21) an 18-year-old man and a 17-yearold girl were walking along Pete Court in Kew Town. According to police press officer Takara Bain, at about 10.23pm they were approached by a dark coloured car and shots were fired from it towards the complainants. The man sustained a number of gunshot wounds to his lower and upper body. He was rushed in a private vehicle to Cheshire Hall Medical Centre. Hospital press officer Nikira John said: “The hospital can confirm that the patient underwent diagnostic imaging tests, was treated and stabilised

pending transfer overseas for medical care. The patient is currently in stable condition.” The female teen was unharmed. On Saturday (August 17) shortly after 9pm, 911 Central received calls that shots had been fired in the parking lot of a bar along Aviation Drive, Providenciales. A man, aged 23, received a gunshot wound to his lower body and was taken to the hospital for treatment. “The patient was treated, stabilised and transferred overseas for medical care,” John said. “The patient is currently in stable condition.” Anyone with information into these incidents can call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-800-8477.

“I want to also make it clear that the officers and staff of the RTCIPF will use all the resources necessary means to catch those responsible for the increase in firearm-related crimes in the country.

Investigations into the robbery are ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information on this crime to call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-8477.

Forty CCTV cameras to be installed in Grand Turk SURVEILLANCE is being stepped up in Grand Turk as part of ongoing efforts to reduce crime on the island. The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) has announced plans to install more than 40 CCTV cameras across the island. The project, which will be implemented by the police force with the support of the TCI Government, will see high definition and highresolution CCTV cameras placed in both conspicuous and inconspicuous locations. Digicel Turks and Caicos has signed the contract to install and maintain the cameras on Grand Turk and the system is expected to go live before the end of the year. The cameras will be installed in several areas including Waterloo, South Base, Palm Grove, South Back Salina, North Back Salina, Front Street, Frederick Street, Cork Tree, Hospital Road, Crab Tree, Lighthouse Road, Nookie Hill and Breezy Brae. Back in 2018 CCTV cameras were installed throughout Providenciales in phase one of the two phase project. Phase two will also see the installation of the automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system for both Providenciales and Grand Turk. Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting disclosed the plans on Thursday, August 15. He explained that the installation of the cameras in as many areas as possible will allow the police to better monitor criminal activities in Grand Turk. “CCTV has reduced the time and increased the success rate of finding stolen or stashed vehicles [in Providenciales]. “Even when we are dealing with something which isn’t a crime, something like a crash, we’ve got cameras straight on that. We can make a better assessment of what resources are needed.” Botting added: “Our CCTV system is completely operational and has been a huge help to us and we are grateful to all involved in the CCTV project for their hard work.” Speaking at an earlier press briefing on August 7, the commissioner issued a stern warning to criminals. He said: “I want criminals to know this, because we are watching: those controllers are very adept around their CCTV.” He said the cameras have tremendously boosted the forces’ ability to track cars around Providenciales, which was once a major challenge to law enforcement. He stressed that CCTV in Grand Turk will significantly help with the deterrence and detection of crime on that island. Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson commenting on the

Governor Nigel Dakin at the 911 Centre in Providenciales

announcement said bringing this technology to the country is key to assist crime fighting measures. “The work has been carried out as part of my Government’s investment in the provision of CCTVs across the country with the purpose of assisting the RTCIPF in the prevention and detection of crime. “To date, we have invested approximately $2.4 million and we are happy to provide this support in this way. “Phase two of this innovative project will see a collaborative effort with the RTCIPF and the Road Safety Department to see the automatic number plate recognition systems installed and to later introduce front and rear license plates to the motoring public. “We look forward to continuing the great working relationship with the RTCIPF and providing the necessary resources to combat crime during this critical time.'” Some $800,000 has been spent on the CCTV project and establishing the necessary infrastructure for the 911 Centre, with the support of the Government and private sponsors. The cameras will transmit images in real-time back to the 911 control room where they will be monitored and used when incidents are reported in a specific area. The cameras will also transmit data to a secured storage location and the recordings will be kept for a period of time, in case the recordings are requested by police for review. The centre operates within stringent security measures and access thereto will be strictly controlled and limited only to qualified and authorised members (By Olivia Rose)

Immigration agencies to follow a code of conduct A NEW code of conduct for immigration agencies will see their services being monitored and regulated. Once implemented, the companies will have to register with Director of Immigration Derek Been after obtaining a business licence in the relevant category. In a press release on Tuesday (August 20), Been said the code does not “in any way” replace

the provisions of the Immigration Ordinance 2018. “…but will rather act as a guide for registered persons to be placed on the register held by the Director of Immigration and the expectation is that such persons will adhere to the rules to be introduced.” The full details of the proposed code of conduct will be released at a later date by the Ministry of Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services.

Minister Vaden Delroy Williams said: “There can be no doubt that immigration agencies have played an extremely important role in our country over the years, however the time has come for the ministry to implement proper guidelines that will dictate the way agencies interact with the department. “I am satisfied that this new system will of course strengthen and improve the structure and benefit all concerned.”

We should never extend or enlarge the voting franchise THERE is an ongoing discussion among certain individuals that given the size of the population of the Turks and Caicos Islands and the size of the voter registration, the franchise should be extended and enlarged to include others in the voting process. Some believe that 7,000 voters should not decide the affairs of a population of 31,458 for the TCI. Before I proceed, let me say this, I am not xenophobic. In fact, I believe and promote assimilation, unity and cooperation among all residents of the Turks and Caicos Islands. However, there are certain privileges and benefits that citizens of every country are entitled to. Two of those benefits are the right to vote and the right to run for public office. With that said, I believe even if there are only 10 citizens and 100,000 non-citizens in the TCI, then those 10 citizens should still be the ones to decide the affairs of the Turks and Caicos Islands. BACKGROUND The Turks and Caicos Islands has come a long way, from a poor unknown group of islands to a

developing well known high end destination. Our local population has always been small, however, with the rapid development of our country, it was necessary to import labour. As a result, the imported labour has outnumbered the Turks and Caicos Islanders. WORK PERMIT HOLDERS ARE GUESTS, NOT CITIZENS A work permit is meant to be issued to expatriates when an organisation is unable to recruit a local to fill the role. A work permit is not meant to be on a permanent basis for the same individuals. Work permits are issued for a specific period and a specific job and the individual is expected to leave the country at the end of that period. The majority of work permits continue to be renewed annually. These individuals however are not citizens, they are guests, and therefore should not participate in our voting process.

made the Turks and Caicos Islands their home and have qualified for permanent residence status. Personally, I do not have an issue with any government issuing permanent residence status. I believe some people have genuinely considered the TCI their home and want to be able to live, work and move freely in and out of the country without any restrictions or interference from immigration. Like work permit holders, permanent residents should not participate in our voting process. I don’t know any country that allows permanent residents to vote so why should the Turks and Caicos Islands be different.

THREATS Enlarging or extending the voting franchise to non-citizens is a threat to the citizens of any country especially if they outnumber the citizens. Many non-citizens are already in control of the economic affairs of our country, so why should we give them the privilege of political power as well. Most of these non-citizens do not even assimilate or understand the needs of the citizens so why should we allow them to vote. If we are already outnumbered, allowing non-citizens to vote and run will also mean that we will be outnumbered in the voting process

and the interests of the citizens will not be a priority. While there are some individuals that truly care about the TCI, there are many that do not care and do not even call the TCI their home. They still brag about their birth place (even though some have been here for years) and look down and make fun of Turks and Caicos Islanders. There is no loyalty and if there is no loyalty then why should they participate in our voting process. Finally, most of the people in this country have another national status and when our economy begins to experience a downfall or recession, they pack their bags and leave. This is a threat and so why should we allow them to participate in our voting process and they will not even stick around to be with us during the ‘bad’ times. CONCLUSION I am not aware of any country that allow non-citizens to vote. We might have one of the smallest populations CONTINUED 

COMMENTARY

Beginning again HAVING our own citizens operate government functions is not new. The idea sprang from JAGS McCartney our national hero. JAGS, a visionary, was a proud yet humble man. JAGS barely got started when he was lost in a strange plane crash. Since the beginning there have been struggles for political power. After a couple of false starts we found ourselves led by Derek Taylor. A second beginning. Outside investors saw our ‘beautiful by nature’ environment was a perfect platform for resorts. A short flight gave us access to the world’s richest touristretirement market, the USA. The secondary markets of South America and Canada were also at hand.

David is a retired mobile hydraulic engineer and business executive. He has been married to Middle Caicos native Yvette Robinson Tapfer for 30 years and has lived in Conch Bar, Middle Caicos, since 2002. David formerly served as branch chairman of the PDM from 2008 to 2011

Our home country was thousands of miles away in another hemisphere. Was the distance the reason they forgot to guard our borders or was it parliament’s liberal mind-set? In came honest development and the Taylor PDM Government was reelected by voters an unprecedented third time. Resorts were going up and this new source of income was at hand. This was not enough for Mike

Misick and his merry men. Mike said our leaders must have charisma. They must be loud! Then we woke up in August 2003 and the third election was reversed. Another strange turn of events at the hands of our election officials. Taylor while an honest leader, was humble, did not toot his own horn and stepped aside. Under the new PNP administration resorts continued to arrive but then

they began to fall by the wayside. This new Government was more interested in selling the land, outright. Yes, the PNP did build roads on the family islands. No schools or government buildings except one sports stadium. Due to accumulated need this building had to be recently retrofitted to serve as a school. While our people saw what was really happening, it took the British almost six years to move. We are still waiting for the end of the trial. $100 million cost. What could the TCI have been done with that $100 million and the other $100s of millions wasted and misspent? What do we have to show for the deluxe trips, fancy cars, jet planes and mansion? When election returned the

Washy/Rufus group was forced to operate close to the law. They found themselves paralysed. The TCI lost 13 years. Since 2016, PDM is back and things are really moving forward on numerous fronts. Any situation as messy as the TCI will take time but we are doing better than anyone expected. Will our new governor be an asset? Our fingers are crossed. This new beginning must not be stopped. We cannot afford a Government that is paralysed, is another TCI Bank, or is a mess equal to the Interhealth Canada National Health Insurance Plan. Now against our wishes buildings are moving up to 12 stories. Numerous reasons seem to guide against this but who knows - a new beginning?

Carnival Cruise Line flushes on the TCI (again) PART ONE WHY does our Honourable Premier and this PDM Government not enthusiastically object to Carnival Cruise Line flushing their toilets on us? In December of 2016, the United States Department of Justice announced that Princess Cruises (owned by Carnival) had pleaded guilty to seven felony charges connected to illegally dumping oily bilge water into the ocean between 2005 and 2013, and systematically covering up those illegal actions and then lying about it. Carnival, which encompasses 10 cruise line brands, was fined $40 million by a US court which also mandated a court-appointed environmental monitor for a fiveyear probation period. According to the US Attorney’s Office, it was the largest criminal fine of its kind for deliberate vessel pollution. The 2016 criminal conviction also included charges of conspiracy. One example of the illegal activity that was described in court documents was the Caribbean Princess, which apparently discharged thousands of gallons of polluted bilge waste along the British coast. The illegal practice came to light in 2013 when a ‘magic pipe’ to divert untreated oily waste into the sea, was discovered. The documents also show illegal practices were found on four other Princess ships, including the use of clean ocean water to fool on board sensors that would otherwise detect dumping of improperly contaminated bilge water, and the use of rigged on-board ship sensors

to hide contamination. Carnival, the largest cruise operator in the world, has a history of environmental misdeeds. Separate convictions in 1998 and 2002 charged the company with the same dumping crime. In April 2002, Carnival pleaded guilty to dumping pollutants into the ocean. It paid an $18 million fine and faced five years of probation. Court documents show Carnival has dumped other illegal material into ocean waters since that time. Consequently, in 2016, US District Judge Patricia Seitz appointed Washington DC lawyer Steven Solow to monitor Carnival Corporation during its subsequent five-year probation period. Solow revealed new violations in his 2017-2018, 205-page report that prompted a new inquiry. According to the report, several Carnival Corporation cruise ships discharged nearly 500,000 gallons of treated sewage, which it referred to as “black water”, into Bahamian waters in 2017. Over 450,000 gallons were discharged in the Bahamas in June of that year alone. The environmental monitors report referenced above, not only indicated that Carnival had violated environmental laws in the first year of the probation, but the court monitor also found over 800 violations of Carnival’s probation between April 2017 and April 2018. In the report, the independent courtappointed environmental monitor overseeing Carnival compliance identified 13 specific incidents in which Carnival illegally dumped treated sewage into the Bahamian waters during the cruise company’s first year of probation, in violation of

in the world but that does not mean we should extend or enlarge our voting franchise. Voting is a privilege that is reserved for citizens and must remain so. I have a Scottish friend whose son was on a work permit in Canada for two years. At the end of two years, his son had to leave Canada even though he wanted to stay.

If we were to truly enforce our immigration laws, then many of our work permit holders would be like the situation with my friend’s son in Canada. However, we are too lenient and people are now taking us for granted and now want to participle in our election process when they should have only been here on a temporary basis.

BY SHAUN MALCOLM Bahamian and international laws. Most of the dumps occurred during a two-week stretch in June 2017. All were on Carnival Cruise Line ships. On Monday, June 4, 2019, Carnival Corporation once again reached a settlement with US federal prosecutors in which the world’s largest cruise line agreed to pay another $20 million penalty because

its ships had continued to pollute the sea by dumping oily waste and plastics into the ocean despite previous criminal convictions, probation and previous fines exceeding $58 million that were intended to inhibit similar conduct. Calling Carnival Corporation, a “criminal defendant,” United States Federal District Judge Patricia Seitz threatened to send the “members of Carnival’s executive committee” to a “detention centre for a couple of days” for violation of the terms of its probation for environmental crimes. Court records indicate that Carnival released food waste and plastic into the ocean, failed to accurately record waste disposals, created false training records and secretly examined ships to fix environmental-compliance issues before third-party inspections without reporting its findings to the inspectors. Carnival admitted violating the terms of probation from the 2016 criminal conviction for discharging oily waste and covering it up.

The company also admitted falsifying compliance documents and other administrative violations such as having clean-up teams visit its ships just before scheduled inspections. Carnival has also acknowledged that in recent years its ships have committed environmental crimes such as dumping ‘grey water’ in prohibited places like Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park and knowingly allowing plastic to be discharged along with food waste in the Bahamas, which poses a severe threat to marine life. It is glaringly obvious that Carnival and its ships have been using the world’s oceans as their personal toilet for a long time and recent evidence indicates that despite past criminal convictions, they have continued to do so without care or concern. To be continued in next week’s TC Weekly News.

Here we go again: More immigration tough talk WITH our new Immigration Minister installed, we have a new round of hollowed tough talk from the Hon. Vaden Delroy Williams much like his predecessor Hon. Sean Astwood. Before getting to the meat of the matter, I pose this question based on his press release: Are Haitian nationals the only illegal folks in the TCI? Far from it. Hon. Williams in referencing illegals sloops is quoted as saying: “The time will come to consider stopping the first-time work permits for Haitian nationals if this continues.” This seems to always be the go to move to combat this, but the issue is those folks are allowed to work under the table illegally and will not be applying for work permits in the first place which makes that move null and void. There are way more non-Haitian nationals living and working in Grace Bay illegally than the amount on the two boats that recently landed here. I am sure a number of boats have landed in the TCI since Hon. Williams took up the post of Minister of Border Control, so why the tough talk now? I suspect it might be because the new governor has eased his way into Hon. Williams’s territory under the guise of national security.

BY JAMELL ROBINSON I will remind Hon. Williams of the many things we were promised as it relates to immigration and border control and at no time tough talk was a part of it. I will highlight five of those promises directly from the Change Document: 1) A PDM Government will commit to begin to prosecute those involved in the encouragement of the entry of illegal sloops and the hiring of undocumented workers. 2) A PDM Government will engage the Regional and International Governments, in particular the Haitian Government to deal with this matter as a matter of urgency.

3) A PDM Government will establish a Border Protection Unit which will encourage cooperation between agencies with responsibility for some aspect of border patrol and protection thereby maximising the best use of our resources. 4) A PDM Government will ensure that the UK, which maintains responsibility for internal security, meets its obligations. 5) A PDM Government will support the establishment of consulates to address the needs of the different nationalities within the Turks and Caicos Islands. What have we actually gotten in almost three years? 1) I can’t stop the sloops. 2) Approximately four weeks of joint roadblock stop and search operations due to additional funding not being provided to the police force to continue operations ie. no supplemental budget increases. 3) No establishment of a Border Protection Unit. 4) Only a two percent increase in expenditure for the Ministry of Border Control for the 2019-2020 budget cycle. It’s about time that the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands receive real leadership with real plans for real change in immigration.

Waking up in paradise?

Scrap metal piled up in a junk yard in the United states

Scrap metal policy will incentivise exporters to clean up TCI BY OLIVIA ROSE CABINET has approved a policy to incentivise the removal of scrap metal from the TCI by charging no cargo fees for a period of 12 months. Scrap metal recycling is big business and exporters in the TCI will now have an opportunity to tap into this lucrative market. The Government recently embarked on a project to decrease the accumulating volume of scrap metal currently existing in the country. The Scrap Metal Policy was drafted in July and subsequently approved by Cabinet. During her report on policy development in the House of Assembly on August 8, Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson explained that the rationale behind the policy is to create a ‘win-win’ situation for both the Government and exporters. “The public benefits from the removal of unwanted vehicles which can lower community aesthetics and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other vectors, while the commercial risks to the exporter is reduced. This is progress.” She added: “The Turks and Caicos Islands currently does not have in place an effective and enforceable

regime for the disposal of imported vehicles that are at the end of their useful lives. “As a result, vehicles are abandoned and left at mechanical workshops or remain on the owner’s premises. “It is not uncommon to see abandoned vehicles in vegetated areas along streets and unpaved roads throughout the Islands.” The premier explained that these vehicles would soon become derelict or scrap metal and contribute to the defacement of the environment. She stressed that scrap metal often becomes an “eyesore” and brings down community aesthetics while creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes, rodents and pests. “Consequently, our health is threatened. “This position also pertains to the accumulation of scrap metal. My Government made a commitment through its manifesto to address the environmental concerns while creating business opportunities for local businesses.” Cartwright Robinson further disclosed that the Government has been approached by several people in the community seeking ways to partner to assist in the removal of scrap metal and derelict vehicles.

“My Government immediately explored possibilities and created a policy which would assist in meeting the environmental challenges whilst creating opportunity for local businesses. “My Government has made a commitment to ensure that our people not only strive but thrive. We must ensure that our people are the beneficiaries of policies and legislation. “Turks and Caicos Islanders will not only have an opportunity to strive but thrive in the exportation of scrap metals.” The policy will allow the Government to incentivise people who remove scrap metal from communities for a period of 12 months. The premier said: “My Government has set rates of cargo dues payable during the period of the policy to zero percent for a period of 12 months. “My Government has set the rate of security dues payable during the policy period to zero percent for the first six months of the 12 month period.” The policy will be taken to the House of Assembly to be read and debated by parliament before it is passed.

Dear Editor, When Adam woke up that first day in paradise, as his eyes, ears, nose and all of his body senses began to be activated; that must have been an unbelievable experience. But I am sure that once he saw the birds flying and enjoying the sky’s breeze, he would have wanted to become a pilot. Yet, most of the people of the Caribbean don’t realise that they are in paradise until they leave and come back or listen as others describe the exceptional radiance, kind people and levels of relaxation that the Caribbean provides. The world celebrates the Caribbean as one of the must-visit vacation locations. Today we can make an estimate that over 60 percent or more of the Caribbean citizens who leave the Caribbean do not return. The literacy level of the Caribbean people is at an average of 80 percent based on the Unesco ratings, however, that number can be evaluated by some as being a bit too high seeing that there is no way to truly measure all of the Caribbean islands’ literacy levels. And as a principled fact, the majority of the people of the Caribbean would love to return home to the Caribbean but lack a proper motivation to do so. When Adam realised that the Caribbean was 70 percent reliant on airlift and that it was going to cost him a whole lot of apples to fly between the islands, he decided to relax on the veranda instead. As a region, the Caribbean is a victim of multiple centuries of natural disasters, colonial practices, strategic NGO involvements, multinational and corporate international banking

and oil industry approaches that have not had any true or lasting benefit for the Caribbean people. Once we consider the expressions of Caribbean regional international aid and the lack of true regional preparedness strategies and any valid structured planning and support for the return of our Caribbean diaspora; it therefore, seems finally necessary to no longer simply give word play to our joint regional and local disaster and social preparedness. Adam had to first realise that he was alive; after that it was important to understand what and why he was made to be alive. Now that we know that we are a Caribbean people, what will be our next steps forward how will we begin our journey into the future together? Some questions that can come to mind as we forge an alternative positive future are the following: Why must we continue living in a Caribbean context with mediocre airlift and inactive protection from key natural disasters? Why must we continue to live without a clue of what our next generation will inherit as a legacy? How many more geniuses are we going to trigger and set assail in the seas of our many international harbours of knowledge and development? It is time to draw in the net. We as a people are faced with a seemingly big challenge, yet we are all graced with the necessary tools to all help uncover the great masterpiece that is called the Caribbean - islands working together with each their own intrinsic qualities and character facilitating a unique blend of social expressions as they work towards a series of common goals. Damien Richardson, Sint Maarten

Social media: Use it properly or not at all Dear Editor, As a millennial, I am all too aware of the importance of social media and information in our everyday lives. In this information driven age, we, citizens of the Earth have more access to information and different sources of data than we have ever had before. In the Turks and Caicos Islands in particular, social media is the quickest and most popular means of sharing and accessing public information (whether true or false). I assume that most of us are aware of this efficient means of reaching a large audience, yet I cannot understand why our own MPs and members of the Opposition have not caught on to the ability to use social media to engage with the electorate. My own non-partisan, personal observation on the use of social media and political dialogue is

that even though the governor isn’t an elected member of parliament, we hear more actual thinking and opinion from him than we have ever heard from our MPs and Opposition. The people of Turks and Caicos don’t expect miracles or instantaneous solutions. We simply want to know that our Government representatives care about what’s going on in the TCI. One of the ways they can do this is by using their various social media platforms for meaningful thoughts to be shared as opposed to sporadic updates on capital projects and press releases. Debating in parliament is one thing, being open and publicly accountable is another thing. We are tired of the selfies - we want to know what you really think. Brenesha Cox, United Kingdom

Salt Cay Airport redevelopment work begins BY TITUS DE BOER SALT Cay was buzzing with activity this week as work began on the redevelopment of the tiny island’s rundown airport. A two-week mobilisation saw the arrival of labourers, materials and hardware on the ‘Island that time forgot’, located to the south of Grand Turk. And on Tuesday (August 20) workers broke ground on the runway in preparation for extensive resurfacing to take place. The project, which is budgeted at about $4.5 million, is contractually scheduled to be completed by November 19, according to construction manager Courtney Crush. Herzog Caribbean, the Providenciales based company which was awarded the contract, already has 17 staff on the ground in Salt Cay. “…and we’ll have as many as 30 workers here at peak times”, Crush told the Weekly News. In preparation for the work, five consecutive aggregate (sand and gravel) shipments arrived in Salt Cay from South Caicos, along with two beach and one dock landing to bring in equipment. Crush explained that in view

of Herzog’s recent experience in constructing airports in South Caicos in 2016 to 2017 and most recently Tortola, BVI, the company was up to the job. Salt Cay Airport’s roughly 2,600 feet long runway is being resurfaced but not expanded, as recently, erroneously announced, the construction manager said. In addition to the resurfacing of the runway, the taxiway and apron will be connected and the apron expanded. Civil Aviation Authority specified line markings and LED lighting will be introduced to allow for night landings along with a helipad for emergency landings during the airport closure. While based in Salt Cay, Herzog Caribbean will use the services of Salt Cay businesses as much as possible, such as local caterers and restaurants as well as suppliers of other goods and services. Last month JAGS McCartney Intentional Airport in Grand Turk reopened after extensive works to repair the terminal building following the 2017 hurricanes. A ferry service is available for anyone wishing to travel between Grand Turk and Salt Cay over the coming months.

Civil servants get update on money crime A ONE day training course on international money crime was hosted in Providenciales this summer for public workers. The Attorney General’s Chambers’ International Division led the training in the Ministry of Finance Conference Room on July 23. It was conducted as part of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, a Government press release on Tuesday (August 20) said. The training dealt with antimoney laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CFT) and weapons of mass destruction proliferation financing. Participants learnt about the

measures within the TCI to ensure the effectiveness of its framework to combat financial crimes. Areas covered included an overview of FATF standards, the TCI’s National Risk Assessment Report and its outcomes, the National AML/CFT Strategy and Action Plan, application of targeted financial sanctions in the TCI and the FATF mutual evaluation process. Among those taking part were officials from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Gaming Department, Ministry of Immigration, Royal TCI Police Force, Customs Department, Integrity Commission and the Attorney General’s Chambers.

TCWeeklyNews@gmail.com No phone calls please

BOYS between the ages of 11 and 18 are invited to take part in a Providenciales camp which aims to help reduce gun violence across the territory. The Boys Club of Grand Turk is hosting the free event on August 30 and 31 called, ‘Reducing gun violence: Guns kill, people don’t’. Camp co-coordinator Nixon Dickenson explained that the event is important in raising awareness and educating people on effective ways to prevent or reduce youth violence. “The camp involves activities that demonstrate the positive role young people can have in making their school and community safer,” Dickenson said. “The students involved in the camp are not just working to make a difference in their school and community; they benefit from being involved.” The camp coordinator said that former participants have developed supportive relationships with other youths and adults. “They have gained tools to speak up, and to avoid and overcome situations that are abusive or potentially so. “Being involved in the camp has also helped students develop a healthier self-esteem and has decreased stress for students who

have experienced youth violence.” The camp will include outdoor games and team building exercises, among other fun activities. Organisers hope it will address elevated risk factors for joining a gang, strengthen families, reduce youth’s conflicts, and improve communitylevel supervision of youth. It will also provide training for teachers on how to manage disruptive students, provide training for parents of disruptive and delinquent youth, increase adult supervision of students after school and provide interpersonal skills training to students to help resolve conflicts “With the prevalence of gun violence among our young men this camp will empower young men with the critical skills to reduce the key factors associated with gun violence,” Dickenson said. “Supportive communities can play a vital role in the education and protection of our young men. Young men of Provo we are coming to empower you.” The Boys Club of Grand Turk has been running since 1996. Anyone who would like to volunteer to help out at the camp can contact Nixon Dickenson on 2426981.

Infected corals spotted in TCI waters (Photos by Turks and Caicos Reef Fund)

Efforts to stem lethal coral disease soon underway BY GEMMA HANDY WORK to help save the TCI’s precious reefs from a highly contagious coral disease already detected around three islands is poised to begin within days. TC Reef Fund chiefs said they hoped to start treatment which includes administering antibiotics to areas infected with deadly stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) shortly. The NGO had been waiting two months for a permit from the Government to enable them to begin, without which they are prohibited from taking action. Conditional permission was finally received on Tuesday (August 20), which will kick-start efforts once environment chiefs are satisfied with the suggested methods. SCTLD has been described as the most virulent coral disease the world has ever seen. It is said to affect more than 20 species found in the TCI and has a mortality rate of around 80 percent. Its rapid-fire contagion has seen it impact half the stony coral species on the Florida Reef, where it was first detected in 2014. It was discovered in Jamaica in February 2018 and has since spread into Mexico, St Maarten, the US Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, the TCI and, most recently, Belize. “When you go to some of these areas where the disease has been prevalent for a few years, it’s like looking at the moon,” said Karen Neely, a coral ecologist at Florida’s Nova Southeastern University. “You can swim and swim and swim and not see a single living coral.” Neely told the Weekly News the disease was moving across Floridian

reefs at approximately 15 kilometres a month. “Every day, countless numbers of corals are infected and lost,” she said. “In Florida, we didn’t have the opportunity to start interventions and other actions early on. But it is hoped that the Caribbean will have that opportunity and will take advantage of it in the hopes that the disease can be better controlled, or potentially even eradicated at some sites, thus preventing the loss of the corals and the ecosystem services they provide,” Neely added. Meanwhile, both the TCRF and Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR) have renewed calls to Islanders to take urgent precautions to curtail further transmission. Well-meaning divers attempting to help may be inadvertently exacerbating the problem, Stark warned. “Some dive operators have been attempting to help by clearing away diseased tissue from infected coral heads. “Because SCTLD is a bacterial pathogen, these activities are probably spreading the disease,” he said. Official advice includes immediately reporting all possible sightings of the condition - which typically appears like patches of white exposed skeleton and can be easily mistaken as bleached coral - to the TCRF and DECR. People should not touch any affected coral as this can spread the disease. And all diving and fishing gear used in such areas should be disinfected with a bleach solution, or special tablets available free from the TCRF. Diving and fishing at known

infected sites should also be avoided. To date, SCTLD has been sighted off South Caicos, West Caicos and Providenciales. The TCRF and DECR are working together to implement a plan of action. Earlier this month, a representative from each body attended a training workshop in Florida to learn more about treatment techniques. The Reef Fund remains hopeful its bid for a $150,000 grant from the UK’s Darwin Plus scheme will be successful. In the meantime, Stark has been busy testing a new, recently received underwater drone which will help provide a fast, thorough analysis of the reefs and highlight any additional affected spots. “This is a serious disease because it affects many star and brain corals as well as the Caribbean’s iconic

but rare pillar coral,” said Judith Lang, of international conservation organisation, the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA). “Important reef-building elkhorn and staghorn corals are immune, as are the common finger corals,” she told the Weekly News. There was a glimmer of hope in that some colonies of the susceptible species had survived, either partially or completely, on reefs exposed to SCTLD. These “resilient survivors”, Lang explained, might help eventually restore reefs, in the same way nursery-grown elkhorn and staghorn varieties have helped repair habitats damaged by ocean warming and other threats. Lang encouraged TCI-based fishermen and divers to report sightings of resilient-appearing

colonies of pillar, star and brain corals. This could improve knowledge of how SCLTD spreads in places lacking large human populations, she said. Lang warned that while antibiotic applications had shown success in treating the illness, there were also “valid concerns” that this might have the unwanted side effect of helping develop antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Alternative approaches involving experimental applications of modelling clay, underwater epoxy or cement are being developed and will be disseminated in the Caribbean, she added. Visit www.agrra.org/coraldisease-outbreak/ for more information. Suspected sightings of SCTLD should be reported immediately to environment@gov.tc and donstark@tcreef.org

we have established is a further pledge to operating with excellence in the Turks and Caicos Islands. “Our focus on health and safety extends beyond our doors at FortisTCI, and I commend and congratulate all participants who completed the recent EHS workshops.” Participants completed various courses in CPR and first aid, incident and accident reporting, working in confined spaces, working at heights, forklift operations, spill control, energy control procedures, fire extinguisher use, waste management, security control, business continuity management, housekeeping, waste management, and ethics. Contractors who completed the training were awarded a ‘Safety passport’ which gives them the CONTINUED 

A REGULAR Salt Cay Sunday. The first Sunday in August. And like most Sundays, probably like in lots of places around the world, Salt Cay Sundays follow a certain routine. A leisurely stroll or drive down to Deane’s Dock to catch up on the morning news, which is typically disseminated from the ‘Fish Shack’. The past week’s events are analysed, newcomers (be they tourists or returning residents) are noted and, where necessary, scrutinised. And then it’s time for another coffee, tea- or a cold beer. That’s pretty much how things started off on that first Sunday in August. Eventually some folks thought about lunch, some went to church (or at least thought for moment or two about church) while others tried to decide how to spend the rest of the day. Is it a good day to go fishing? Or perhaps just a quick dip to cool off at Dunscombe Point (Salt Cay’s communal ‘swimming pool’)/ Then suddenly there was a buzz. News of a massive barge, which had landed on picturesque North Beach, spread like the proverbial wild fire - and suddenly this particular Sunday’s afternoon entertainment programme had been sorted: “Let’s go to North Beach and watch the barge get unloaded!” As a small caravan of golf carts, cars and bicycles headed for North Beach, it was confirmed that this was indeed the first shipment of material for the long-awaited Salt Cay Airport re-development project. While the workers and managers of Herzog Caribbean (the Provo based firm carrying out the job) were busy offloading seemingly endless

amounts of equipment and hardware, the assembled Salt Cay community took in the sights and the sounds of this spectacle with gratitude. Finally, the long awaited, indeed long overdue, airport project was under way. A crucial cornerstone of Salt Cay’s recovery (the other being the repair of its badly damaged seawall). As for that Salt Cay Sunday routine, it (like some other aspects of the firmly engrained Salt Cay way of life) will have to adjust to a period of change, as workers and their trucks and machines leave their inevitable mark to get the job done. Salt Cay people know this and embrace the progress with the necessary pragmatism and wisdom required to ensure that their island will not trade in its soul. Here’s to the Salt Cay Sunday routine. Long may it last!

Cordyline I JUST love cordyline, it’s got that ‘Je ne sais quoi’, that Hawaiian vibes, the tropicalesque lush, plants that we love and will like to have in our semi-arid environment. Cordyline is also called ti plant, is a Hawaiian good-luckplant. Now I know I’ve got your attention and the good thing is that cordyline does very well in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Technically classified as Cordyline terminalis, there are approximately 20 species of cordyline. Cordyline is a native of East Asia and it is one of the most popular indoor potted plants in the world. Some selections of cordyline plants are also used extensively as cut florist greens because they are among the most colourful foliage plants. Many of the small plants used in small combination planters are started from seed and are highly variable in colour, from green to deep maroon, to pink and variegated. But cordylines show off their best colour during cooler weather - a real boon for our winter tourists. You can propagate cordyline plants by three methods: seed germination, rooting of cuttings, including cane and finishing micro-cuttings or plugs (from tissue culture laboratories). But the most common and

easy way to propagate is terminal stem cuttings (tips) which are directly stuck in the pots or just lay it on the ground. The most common complaint about cordylines is that eventually they can grow tall and get leggy, with thin bare trunks (called ‘canes’) and foliage only on top. To encourage a fuller look at varying levels, prune during warm summer weather. To do this, cut off a cane at a lower height and it will usually sprout a new head or two from the sides of the cut. Rather than chopping off the heads of all the canes at once, cut the tallest one first. After it sprouts new growth, do the next tallest one. This way some foliage is visible while you’re pruning the plant. Plant each cutting back into the ground near the base of the original plant (or start it in a container) most will root and grow. In some cases, the openness of bare canes can create an interesting silhouette. But if you prefer to camouflage them, use cordylines and dracaenas as backdrop plants or use low spreading plants to hide a bit of the legginess. When planting add top soil or organic peat humus to the hole when you plant, especially if the

area is very sandy and dry. These plants don’t like to stay wet, so give them regular irrigation with time to dry out a bit between waterings. Fertilise twice a year (spring and fall) with a good quality granular fertiliser. Don’t overfertilise these plants. The major pests of this plant include fungus gnats, mealybugs, mites, scales, and thrips. Mealybug, mite and scale infestations are typically the result of a pest infestation of those insects in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Mealybugs appear as white, cottony masses in leaf axils, on the lower surfaces of leaves and on the roots. Honeydew and sooty mould are often present and infested plants become stunted, and with severe infestations, plant parts begin to die. To control a mealybugs infestation is very challenging. Use a hose and spray with water to remove mealybugs from the plant and then use a systemic product (pfff). Come and read more on our Facebook page: Nature Splendor

YEAR number eight is shaping up to be great for the region’s largest cancer fundraising and awareness event - CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Walk for the Cure. With a new executive co-chair and several new walk managers heading in-house planning committees across the bank’s 16-members, all seems set for the event to surpass its target of $550,000 this year. Over the last seven years the event has raised over $2.2 million. This year the TCI walk will take place in conjunction with the National Cancer Society of Turks and Caicos on October 5 at 5.30am. The route starts from IGA Gourmet in Grace Bay to the International School Roundabout and back. New walk executive co-chair Dan Wright is very excited about this year’s regional walk and predicts it could be “our biggest one ever”. “It’s rare to find someone whose life has not been touched by cancer either directly or indirectly and anything we can do to assist in finding a cure is time well spent,” he said. Wright, who is also the bank’s managing director of wealth management, added: “CIBC FirstCaribbean has a long tradition of giving back to the communities in which we work and live and it is an honour to be involved at the leadership level in Walk for the Cure 2019.” Fellow executive co-chair and managing director of retail and

business banking, Mark St Hill said he is “humbled to be associated with the Walk for the Cure, which continues to positively impact the communities we operate in by helping so many individuals and families that are dealing with the scourge of cancer”. The event has attracted thousands of walkers across the likes of the Bahamas in the north, Trinidad in the south and of course the TCI, as well as the bank’s other Caribbean territories. It has spawned a regional network of sponsors that has grown yearly. The support of corporate partners coupled with the creative and tireless efforts of hundreds of CIBC FirstCaribbean employees who engage in diverse fundraising activities and events has propelled the fundraising from a modest $30,000 at the inception of the walk seven years ago to the staggering $512,367.39 raised in 2018. The funds generated from the walk are truly life changing, a bank press release said on Wednesday (August 21). The funds are used primarily to assist with the purchase and maintenance of equipment used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. They are also used to provide assistance, care and counselling to patients and their families as well as to raise awareness, and stress the importance of early detection through educational campaigns across the region.

Haitian relations still ‘strong’ in the Bahamas Bahamas: Gomez to file class action suit against BPL despite corruption allegations at embassy AFTER an investigation into alleged corruption at the Haitian Embassy in Nassau led to the removal of some diplomats, Foreign Affairs Minister Darren Henfield said the relationship between the Bahamas and Haiti still remains “strong”. Speaking to reporters at Cabinet on Tuesday, Mr Henfield said he talks regularly with his Haitian counterpart. He said: “Bocchit (Haiti’s foreign minister) and I talk regularly, in this instance we weren’t able to as we would have hoped..(we) kept missing each other. I think we have a strong relationship, I think the relationship must remain strong in the interest of both of our countries. “There are strong traditional and strong historical ties between us. Of course, you know we have a large Haitian diaspora in the Bahamas. There’s an embassy here and we have an embassy there, so our relationship is very strong.” On Monday, The Tribune reported that Haiti’s Foreign Affairs Minister Bocchit Edmond told Le Nouvelliste, a Haitian newspaper, the inquiry into corruption at the Haitian embassy here has revealed “unacceptable situations” and “wrongdoing”. Officials from Haiti arrived in Nassau in July to conduct its investigation. They focused on claims the embassy was involved in getting visas for Haitians and finding fake partners for them to marry to gain status in The Bahamas. The Tribune recently reported that since the commission completed its work, five Haitian embassy officials

have been transferred out of the country, including former Chargé d’Affaires François Michel. Another former embassy official, former First Secretary Adras Andirs, has resigned. Mr Henfield said at the earliest opportunity he and Mr Edmond will discuss “ongoing” issues relating to strategic plans left in place by the prime minister following his last visit. He said: “These are ongoing discussions, how do we settle limiting our boundaries or how do we come up with a Shiprider Agreement that will allow the Royal Bahamas Defence Force to assist Haitian national police in policing their maritime space? “‘How do we mitigate illegal migration from Haiti to The

Bahamas? How do we come up with a regulated migration programme that will stop Haitians from risking their lives on unseaworthy barks trying to come to The Bahamas to find a better way of life?’” When asked about the five Haitian embassy officials that were transferred out of the country, Mr Henfield said: “I read the same reports that you did, and I have no other information other than what’s already in the public domain. “What’s been published in newspapers in Haiti and what’s been published in our papers locally. I was supposed to speak with (Mr) Bocchit who is still the foreign minister for Haiti, and we haven’t been able to connect so I don’t know any more than you do at the moment.” (Tribune242)

FORMER Bahamas Minister of State for Legal Affairs Damian Gomez, QC, said this week that he intends to file a class action lawsuit against Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) over the frequent power outages that have affected residents on New Providence. Gomez said he expects the lawsuit to be filed in about three weeks’ time and is urging Bahamians to come forward and join the effort. “The Electricity Act of 2015, which came into force in early 2016, creates a statutory right to the supply of electricity and it enables people who are not necessarily in contract with BPL, but who are affected by the cessation of power on a regular, daily basis, to sue for any harm that has been caused,” Gomez said. He added, “That’s the basis of the action. Now what I’m asking is for those persons who are interested in joining in to consider what they are doing in terms of just complaining to one another as opposed to taking effective action in court, which may well see an improvement which has the peace of a Supreme Court order.” Gomez said he is in talks with several organisations and individuals about the matter. “I’m in discussions with a number of persons,” he said. “I’m looking at organisations such as unions, and I’m looking at the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce, other business associations, and I’m looking at ordinary people who need not necessarily be affiliated with any particular group. Once we start, they can always be added under the rules for whatever category of persons

BPL executives have promised long-term relief with the installation of a new 132-megawatt plant at the Clifton Pier Power Station.

Cayman Islands: Police retirement appeal heading to UK’s Privy Council A THREE-JUSTICE panel gave leave Tuesday morning for the Royal Cayman Islands Police Association to appeal its case against the islands’ police service to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom in London. The case was filed in 2016 by the police association, along with Dane Pinnock, Claire Pinnock Jackson and eight unnamed plaintiffs, who argue that the police service’s retirement law, before 2010, has been applied in a way that is discriminatory to Caymanian officers. The law, which was changed in November 2010, but which still applies to those hired before that date, requires mandatory retirement at age 55. The new retirement age is 60. The plaintiffs have said that Caymanian officers were forced to retire at 55. If they were at the rank of chief inspector or above, they could be rehired, but only as lowerlevel officers. That same rule, the lawsuit says,

did not apply to British police officers. Those officers, the suit says, “are not required to retire at age 55. Alternatively, if they are required to retire at age 55, they have, in practice, been re-engaged without loss of rank. “The effect of this discriminatory treatment is that non-British officers have been discriminated against in respect of their rights under section 9 of the Bill of Rights and this discrimination, which is on the grounds of their nationality, is also an unjustifiable breach of section 16 of the Bill of Rights.” In a 15 March ruling last year, Acting Grand Court Judge Nova Hall found that then Police Commissioner David Baines had acted appropriately in deciding which officers to retire and those who were still needed on the force despite reaching retirement age. She said at the time, “He had an

absolute discretion to determine the contractual terms of each officer engaged on a special contract; and

he could not be fettered in the terms that he used to attracted and retain necessary officers.”

Hall found the officers given contract extensions beyond age 55 at the same rank were not all British nationals. She noted the case of Sergeant Davis Scott, a Caymanian, who was retained due to his special relationship and knowledge of the East End community. The five UK-based officers referenced by the police association in the lawsuit were all specialists in certain areas where Caymanian officers lacked expertise, such as police training, anti-corruption investigations and firearms protocols, she found. The appellants now have to pay £500 within 30 days in order to have the appeal proceed to the Privy Council. Attorney Guy Dilliway-Parry, who is representing the plaintiffs, said he was grateful for the decision. He said he did not know when to anticipate the appeal would be heard in the London council.

PAHO warns of complex dengue situation in the Caribbean THE Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has warned of the complex situation of dengue in Latin America and the Caribbean, which is currently experiencing a new epidemic cycle of the disease after two years of low incidence. According to the latest PAHO epidemiological update, during the first seven months of 2019, more than two million people contracted the disease and 723 died. The number of cases exceeds the total number of cases reported in 2017 and 2018, although so far, it remains lower than the number recorded in 2015-2016. “The region is experiencing a new epidemic cycle of dengue, with

a notable increase in cases,” said Dr Marcos Espinal, Director of PAHO’s Department of Communicable Diseases and Environmental Determinants of Health. The climate, environmental management and the mosquito’s capacity to adapt may have caused the situation to increase in complexity. Another characteristic of the current epidemic is that children under the age of 15 appear to be among the most affected. In Guatemala, they represent 52 per cent of total cases of severe dengue, while in Honduras, they constitute 66 per cent of all confirmed deaths. According to Dr Espinal, this may be

Bahamas: Policeman accused of raping girl A TEENAGE girl was allegedly raped by a former police reservist at a southern New Providence police station a year ago, jurors heard this week. Superintendent Roberto Goodman said the 13-year-old girl was at the East Street South Police Station for “safe keeping” on July 14, 2018 when Dwayne Decosta allegedly committed the act. Supt Goodman said it was “peculiar” for Decosta to have been alone with the girl in the station as normally minors would sit in the station’s foyer until officers could contact their parents or guardians. Had the girl been in custody, said Supt Goodman, the officerin-charge of the East Street South Police Station, only a female officer would have been allowed to physically interact with her. Supt Goodman’s testimony came during the opening day of Decosta’s unlawful sex trial before Justice Cheryl GrantThompson. Supt Goodman said he was at home on a day off when he received a call from one of his subordinates, Sergeant 281 Bain, from the East Street South Police Station. As a result, around 2.25 that afternoon, he went to the station where he again spoke with Sgt Bain who pointed out the young girl. Supt Goodman said as a result of the information he received, he, Sgt Bain and the girl went to his office where he had a conversation with her. Based on

what she told him, Supt Goodman said he contacted his superior at the time, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ashton Greenslade, and relayed what had allegedly happened. ACP Greenslade then gave him certain instructions, which led to him contacting Chief Superintendent Solomon Cash, the officer-in-charge of the Central Detective Unit (CDU). After speaking with C/Supt Cash and receiving certain instructions from him, Supt Goodman said he retrieved surveillance footage from not only the cameras at the police station, but also from the Esso service station across the street. He also said he spoke with a woman inspector at CDU that day. Supt Goodman said the following day, on July 15, he met Decosta at the station in Sgt Bain’s presence, where he told the man he was suspected of having unlawful sex with a minor. Supt Goodman said Decosta was subsequently cautioned and arrested. Supt Goodman said Decosta told him that he did interact with the girl because he took down some information about an unspecified incident from her. Supt Goodman said Decosta also said at the time that he saw the girl outside the station at one point, but told her to go back inside. Supt Goodman said Decosta was ultimately taken to CDU and turned over to officers there for further investigation. (Tribune242)

due to the fact that their age means they have been less exposed to the virus in the past and may therefore lack immunity. Dengue is caused by a virus that has four different, but closely related, serotypes: DEN-1, DEN2, DEN-3 and DEN-4, all of which circulate in the Americas. When a person recovers from the infection, he acquires lifelong immunity against that particular serotype. However, subsequent infections caused by other serotypes increase the risk of acquiring more severe forms of dengue. Serotype 2 is one of the deadliest and is the one currently affecting children and adolescents. The ten countries currently most affected by dengue, in terms of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants, are Nicaragua, Brazil, Honduras, Belize, Colombia, El Salvador, Paraguay, Guatemala, Mexico and Venezuela. Honduras and Nicaragua have already declared national-level epidemiological alerts this year to expedite the response.

community sanitation problem,” said José Luis San Martin, PAHO’s Regional Advisor on Dengue. “The most effective way to combat it is to eliminate its breeding sites in order to prevent the mosquito from reproducing because without mosquitoes there would be no transmission of dengue.” According to San Martin the community as a whole must get rid of all unused objects where water can accumulate, such as drums, old tires, cans, bottles and vases. Domestic water tanks must be hermetically sealed to avoid them becoming hatcheries. “Eliminating hatcheries would hit the mosquito hard by interrupting its breeding cycle, therefore reducing the mosquito population,” he said. PAHO has also called for health

professionals to be trained to diagnose and adequately manage patients with dengue and other arboviruses such as Zika and Chikungunya. “The proper management of patients is a priority that can save lives,” said San Martin, urging the population to avoid self-medicating and to instead visit a health system early when experiencing symptoms of the disease. The most common symptoms are high fever (40 °C), severe headache, pain behind the eyeballs, and joint and muscle aches. Warning signs of dengue that require urgent medical attention include severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding from the mucous membranes, fatigue, irritability and presence of blood in the vomit.

Migration: UK cannot end freedom of movement on Brexit day, experts say MIGRATION experts say the UK cannot end freedom of movement from the EU on Brexit day because it has no system to work out who is legally in the country. The Home Office had said that on August 19, the EU freedom of movement would end immediately in a no-deal Brexit. But Oxford University’s Migration Observatory said employers will have no way to tell whether EU nationals have arrived after 31 October. It comes as official figures show EU immigration at its lowest since 2013. Under the existing system, EU nationals do not have to register their presence in the UK so the Home Office does not have records of when they arrived. Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory, said: “Even if the government knew exactly what it wanted the postBrexit immigration system to look like, it wouldn’t be possible to implement it immediately after a nodeal Brexit. “That’s because any new restrictions on EU migration can’t be enforced unless UK employers know which EU citizens have been here for years and which ones arrived postBrexit and have to comply with the new immigration regime.” The government’s only way to assess which EU citizens had a right to be in the UK would be through the settlement scheme, which closes in December 2020, the Migration Observatory team said. The settlement scheme aims to register EU nationals in the country, but there is no obligation for all of them to take part.

Greenland is an autonomous Danish territory.

The Home Office had said that on August 19, the EU freedom of movement would end immediately in a no-deal Brexit.

As of July, only a third of the estimated 3.3 million UK-based EU citizens had applied, leaving more than two million unregistered. The warning comes after the Office for National Statistics conceded that its key migration figures were no longer reliable and should only now be regarded as “experimental”. The ONS revealed on Wednesday that it had been underestimating EU arrivals and overestimating those from the rest of the world. It now believes EU net migration - the difference between people arriving and leaving - was 16% higher (29,000) in 2015-16 than previously thought. Net migration from outside the EU was 13% (25,000) lower, because more foreign students left than previously estimated. The ONS has used additional data from the Home Office and the Department for Work and Pensions in an attempt to make the adjusted

figures more reliable. But statisticians have not yet adjusted the figures for EU immigration after 2016. That is partly because EU citizens interviewed for the survey may not be sure if they are staying in Britain for at least 12 months - the cut-off point for inclusion in the data. The ONS estimates that EU migration is now at its lowest level since 2013, with 200,000 EU citizens arriving in the year up to March 2019 - the original date for Brexit. It says the main reason for the decline is that fewer people are arriving from the EU to work, with the numbers more than halving to 92,000 from their peak in 2016. Ms Sumption at the Migration Observatory said: “The drop in the value of sterling has made working in the UK less lucrative than it once was, and continued uncertainty about the Brexit may also have played a role.”

Pompeo praises ‘US ally’ Denmark after Trump cancels visit US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has praised Denmark amid a public row over Greenland that saw President Donald Trump cancel a visit to the country. In a phone call with Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod, Mr Pompeo “expressed appreciation for Denmark’s co-operation” as a US ally. Mr Kofod welcomed the “frank, friendly and constructive talk”. It came after Mr Trump said Denmark’s prime minister had been “nasty” when rebuffing his idea of buying Greenland. Mette Frederiksen had called his ambitions of buying the autonomous Danish territory “absurd”. She said she was “disappointed and surprised” that he had cancelled his visit. The trip was scheduled to take place on 2 September, at the invitation of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II. The US State Department said Mr Pompeo and Mr Kofod had a friendly phone call on Wednesday

about the “postponement” of the president’s trip. “The secretary expressed appreciation for Denmark’s cooperation as one of the United States’ allies and Denmark’s contributions to address shared global security priorities,” spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. “The secretary and Foreign Minister Kofod also discussed strengthening co-operation with the Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - in the Arctic.” Mr Kofod said the talks had affirmed a strong bond between the two countries. The US and Denmark “are close friends and allies with long history of active engagement across globe,” he wrote on Twitter. While praising Denmark as a “very special country”, Mr Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday that his planned visit would no longer go ahead because Ms Frederiksen had “no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland”.

insists the backstop must be ditched if a no-deal exit from the EU on 31 October is to be avoided.

He argues that it could leave the UK tied to the EU indefinitely, contrary to the result of the 2016

referendum, in which 52% of voters opted to leave. But the EU has repeatedly said the withdrawal deal negotiated by former PM Theresa May, which includes the backstop, cannot be renegotiated. However, it has previously said it would be willing to “improve” the political declaration - the document that sets out the UK’s future relationship with the EU. Speaking after he greeted Mr Johnson at Paris’s Elysee Palace, Mr Macron said he was “very confident” that the UK and EU would be able to find a solution within 30 days - a timetable suggested by Mrs Merkel - “if there is a good will on both sides”. He said it would not be possible to find a new withdrawal agreement

“very different from the existing one” within that time, but added that an answer could be reached “without reshuffling” the current deal. Mr Macron also denied that he was the “hard boy in the band”, following suggestions that he would be tougher on the UK than his German counterpart. Standing beside Mr Macron, Mr Johnson said he had been “powerfully encouraged” by his conversations with Mrs Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday. He emphasised his desire for a deal with the EU but added that it was “vital for trust in politics” that the UK left the EU on 31 October. He also said that “under no circumstances” would the UK put checks or controls on the Ireland-UK border.

Acting on the tip-off, officers arrested a 37-year-old man who was found to have high-powered weapons and ammunition at his Los Angeles home. It comes amid a wider FBI effort to prevent such shootings. That followed attacks in El Paso and Dayton that killed 31 people. Since then US authorities say they have foiled a series of alleged plots to carry out attacks, some of which would have targeted minority groups. The FBI has reportedly instructed its field offices to conduct threat assessments and has also urged the public to report threats or suspicious activity. Rodolfo Montoya made the threat to someone he worked with at a Marriott hotel near Long Beach airport, Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna said. “Thank God that employee decided to bring that information forward,” he told reporters. Police said they seized multiple firearms including an assault rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and tactical gear from his home in Huntingdon Beach. The assault rifle and high-capacity magazines were illegal in California, a statement said. Early investigations revealed that Mr Montoya was upset over “human resource issues”, police said. He had “clear plans, intent and the means to carry out an act of violence that may have resulted in a mass casualty incident,” Chief Luna said. On Tuesday a man was jailed in Seattle, Washington, after the FBI said he threatened to kill Hispanics in the Miami area. Eric Lin, 35, sent a message to a Hispanic woman threatening her and her family. He also expressed support for Adolf Hitler, said he believed President

Trump would “launch a racial war and crusade” and called for Hispanics, black people and members of other ethnic groups to be killed or sent to concentration camps. Also on Tuesday a truck driver was arrested in Tennessee after telling a friend he was considering carrying out a mass shooting at a church in Memphis. Thomas McVicker, 38, had made “credible threats”, the FBI said. His mother reportedly told the FBI he owned a handgun, used cocaine and methamphetamine and was being treated for schizophrenia. In Ohio a 20-year-old man was arrested last Friday for posting threats against a Jewish community centre. James Reardon, 20, posted a video on Instagram of a man firing a gun with a caption identifying the centre in Youngstown, north of Pittsburgh. He denies menacing and harassment charges. In Florida, 25-year-old Tristan Scott Wix was arrested last Friday after sending text messages saying he was going to commit a mass shooting to his ex-girlfriend, who showed them to police. “A good 100 kills would be nice,” one of the messages reportedly read. Police said they found a hunting rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition at his home. In Connecticut, 22-year-old Brandon Wagshol was arrested last Thursday after a tip-off from a member of the public who said he was trying to buy high-capacity rifle magazines. Authorities said he had weapons and tactical gear and had expressed the intention to carry out an attack on Facebook. On 8 August police in Nevada arrested Conor Climo, 23, and said he had bomb making materials at his Las Vegas home. He had discussed attacking a synagogue and a bar he believed catered to the LGBTQ community during encrypted online chats with people who identified with a white supremacist organisation, the Justice Department said.

TWO days after Italy’s populist government collapsed, the centreleft Democratic Party (PD) leader has told the president he will try to reach a deal with one of the populist parties, the Five Star Movement. Nicola Zingaretti said Italy needed a “turning-point government” that was an alternative to the right, but not a government at any cost. President Sergio Mattarella wants a government deal in the coming days. Otherwise Italy faces new elections. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte resigned in dramatic fashion in parliament on Tuesday, after one of the two populist leaders in the coalition, Matteo Salvini, pulled the plug on the government, demanding a vote of no confidence. Mr Salvini, whose right-wing, nationalist League is leading the opinion polls, is seeking new elections, 14 months after he went into coalition with Five Star. The head of the centre-left PD was among the first of the party leaders to visit the president on Thursday morning. His potential coalition partner, Five Star, will meet Mr Mattarella in the late afternoon.

Mr Zingaretti has submitted a list of five conditions for a coalition.

The two parties, which until now have never seen eye to eye, have already held exploratory talks and both appear keen to find a deal. Mr Zingaretti has come up with five conditions for Five Star to meet, including loyal membership of the European Union and a reversal of Mr Salvini’s anti-immigration policies. “We expressed our willingness to the president to verify the formation of a different majority,” he said, emphasising he wanted a government that brought an end to the policies

and politics of the previous coalition. The PD also wants a new prime minister to replace Mr Conte, currently acting as caretaker, and some reports suggest Italy could have its first woman leader. The president also met the leaders of the centre-right Forza Italia party and the far-right Brothers of Italy on Thursday. Forza Italia leader Silvio Berlusconi warned that without a centre-right majority in the next government there would have to be new elections. (BBC)

Amazon rainforest veers towards potential disaster THE Amazon is burning -- and humans are likely to blame. Environmental organisations and researchers say the wildfires blazing in the Brazilian rainforest were set by cattle ranchers and loggers who want to clear and utilize the land, emboldened by the country’s probusiness president. “The vast majority of these fires are human-lit,” said Christian Poirier, the programme director of non-profit organization Amazon Watch. He added that even during dry seasons, the Amazon -- a humid rainforest -doesn’t catch on fire easily, unlike the dry bushland in California or Australia. Farmers and ranchers have long used fire to clear land, said Poirier, and are likely behind the unusually large number fires burning in the Amazon today. The country’s space research center (INPE) said this week that the number of fires in Brazil are 80% higher than last year. More than half are in the Amazon region, spelling disaster for the local environment and ecology. The Amazon forest produces about 20% of the world’s oxygen, and is often called “the planet’s lungs.” According to the World Wildlife Fund, if it is irrevocably damaged, it could start emitting carbon instead -- the major driver of climate change.

A satellite image from NASA shows the fires raging in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil in August 2019.

The environmental minister, Ricardo Salles, tweeted on Wednesday that the fires were caused by dry weather, wind, and heat. But CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said the fires are “definitely humaninduced,” and can’t be attributed to natural causes like lightning strikes. This year’s fires fit into an established seasonal agricultural pattern, Brink said. “It’s the best time to burn because the vegetation is dry. [Farmers] wait for the dry season and they start burning and clearing the areas so that their cattle can graze. And that’s what we’re suspecting is

going on down there.” The peak of the dry season is still to come in September, she added. Compared to previous years, the destruction this year is “unprecedented,” Poirier said. Organizations, activists, and social media users worldwide have reacted to the news with alarm. #PrayForTheAmazon and other variations of the hashtag are trending globally on Twitter, with hundreds of thousands of tweets. As images and news of the fire spread, many are demanding accountability from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Youth workers attend leadership training MEMBERS of organisations that work closely with young people took part in intensive leadership training this August. The Department of Youth Affairs hosted the instruction from August 5 to 9 with the help of John Roach, chief youth development officer in Dominica. According to a press release on Wednesday (August 21), his knowledge in youth work

spans over 30 years. He has been instrumental in establishing the Dominica Youth Business Trust and led it to attaining accreditation status. Roach’s specialty areas include policy analysis, formulation and research, behavioural science, quantitative business application, organisation development and transformation.

Training participants with John Roach, chief youth development officer in Dominica

Director of Youth Affairs Jasmine Thomas said she was grateful Roach was able to take time out of his busy schedule to train youth workers on the current theories

and competencies. “This is especially important because youth work is a dynamic and changing field and we as youth workers must be abreast on trends that are happening among the youth population. “Therefore, our goals and objectives are constantly changing to meet the needs of the young people; hence being knowledgeable on strategic program planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation procedures for youth development is

important.” The objective of the training was to professionalise youth work and build a body of specialist knowledge, establishing codes of ethics and competency standards. It also introduced youth workers to the latest concepts, theories and practices of the work. Participants were able to learn quantitative and qualitative ways to measure the progress and impact of their organisation’s goals and

activities. A key element to the training was proposal writing where participants were introduced to writing for grants in order to receive funding from international organisations. Several organisations were represented, including the TCI National Youth Council, church youth groups, teachers from various schools, The Boys Club of Grand Turk, the staff of Youth Department and Youth in the Community.

Future of iguanas put in the spotlight ENVIRONMENTAL activists gathered for three days this July to discuss how to protect the TCI’s iguanas from natural and manmade threats. A wide range of challenges to the species were discussed at the Iguana Conservation Workshop, held from July 16 to 18 at Ocean Club in Providenciales. Participants talked about the overarching species action plan, biosecurity and invasive species and ecotourism and education. And on the last day of the workshop, they went to Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay for an informative field trip where they saw some of the challenges first hand. According to a Government press release on Tuesday

(August 20), the workshop steered lots of interesting and informative conversations among the different partners and stakeholders. “Facilitators highlighted the power of working together to achieve more, as it is essential for achieving this conservation ambition,” it read. The next steps will be to pull together all of the key information gathered into a working Species Action Plan. This will be endorsed by the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Iguana Specialist Group and used to direct and prioritise future conservation action. The workshop was part of the Saving the Iguana Islands of the TCI project, a

Dwayne Johnson will star in Jumanji: The Next Level later this year.

Dwayne Johnson tops Forbes highest paid actors list again Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves star in the original films.

The Matrix: Keanu Reeves to reprise role for fourth chapter KEANU Reeves and CarrieAnne Moss will return in a fourth instalment of sci-fi franchise The Matrix, with Reeves reprising his lead role as hacker Neo. Matrix co-creator Lana Wachowski will write, direct and produce the film, a third sequel to the original 1999 hit. Ms Wachowski celebrated The Matrix’s return, saying many of the ideas it explores are “even more relevant now”.

The first three films in the franchise earned more than $1.6bn (£1.3bn) at the global box office. Warner Bros Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich announced the new film on Tuesday, saying the studio “could not be more excited” about its return. “Lana is a true visionary - a singular and original creative filmmaker - and we are thrilled that she is writing,

directing and producing this new chapter”, he said. The original film was released 20 years ago and told the story of Neo and his discovery that humanity was trapped in a simulated reality. It proved a major hit and spawned two sequels - The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. The third instalment was the first film ever to be released simultaneously around the

world at the same hour. Rumours of a fourth chapter have been circulating since 2017, with reports at the time stating that Warner Bros was “in the early stages of developing a relaunch”. In a statement on Tuesday, Ms Wachowski said she was “very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends.” (BBC)

DWAYNE Johnson was the highest-paid actor of the last year, according to the latest annual rankings from Forbes. He climbed from his number two placing last year - despite his $89.4m (£73.6m) earnings actually being less than the $119m (£98.1m) he made in 2018. Last year’s number one actor George Clooney has dropped out of the top 10. That’s because his high

earnings on 2018’s list were down to the sale of his tequila company, in a deal worth $1bn (£753m). The highest paid actresses list will be released by Forbes on Friday. The lists include celebrities’ overall earnings, including brand endorsements and don’t solely consist of payments for acting. Johnson’s endorsements include sportswear firm Under Armour.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics: US athletes warned they will face ‘consequences’ over protests AMERICAN athletes have been warned by Team USA chiefs they will face “consequences” if they stage political protests at next year’s Olympic Games. It comes after two athletes were reprimanded for protesting against social injustice at the Pan-American Games in Lima, Peru. Fencer Race Imboden and hammer thrower Gwen Berry have been placed on 12-month probation after podium protests. Imboden took a knee during the national anthem while Berry raised a fist. In letters - obtained by AP news agency - sent to Imboden and Berry, US Olympic and Paralympic Committee chief executive Sarah Hirshland said she “respected” the athletes’ perspectives but disagreed with the “moment and manner” in

James Haskell won 77 caps for England.

Haskell joins Bellator as heavyweight MMA fighter Hammer thrower Gwen Berry said she was protesting against “all of the injustices that are going on in America”.

which the pair aired their views. “It is also important for me to point out that, going forward, issuing a reprimand to other athletes in a similar instance is insufficient,” she

said. “We recognize that we must more clearly define for Team USA athletes what a breach of these rules will mean in the future.

FORMER England rugby union international James Haskell has signed a deal to fight with mixed martial arts promotion Bellator MMA. The 34-year-old is expected to make his debut as a heavyweight next year. The former Wasps and Northampton Saints flanker, who won 77 caps for England, retired from rugby in May. Haskell has previously trained with British MMA fighter Michael ‘Venom’ Page and worked as a

television pundit covering MMA. Bellator say 6ft 4in Haskell will continue his training this year with his first fight “expected to take place during the first half of 2020”. Haskell says his interest in MMA goes back a decade and in an interview during his rugby career said it “builds strength and endurance and has helped me to manipulate and move people on the rugby pitch”. He told Joe.ie at the time that he would “like to compete” in MMA and that it commands similar discipline to rugby.

England will play six Tests, six ODIs and six T20s at home next summer.

England to host West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Ireland in 2020 Serena Williams, 37, and Maria Sharapova, 32, have never played each other at the US Open.

Williams to play Sharapova in first round of U.S. Open SERENA Williams has beaten Maria Sharapova nearly everywhere. On courts hard and soft, fast and slow, indoors and outdoors. Blue clay was a novelty surface introduced for only one week, in Madrid in 2012; Williams made sure she beat Sharapova there, too. But Williams, 37, and Sharapova, 32, who have met in the finals of the other three Grand Slam events, have never played each other at the United States Open. That will change this year: The eighth-seeded Williams

drew the unseeded Sharapova in the first round of the women’s singles competition in a ceremony on Thursday afternoon. Williams has won her last 18 matches against Sharapova, dating to 2005, and is 19-2 over all against her. They were supposed to meet in the fourth round of the French Open last year, but Williams withdrew from the match because of a pectoral injury. Sharapova has missed most of the season with injuries and is ranked

87th, which made such a star-studded first-round match possible. Williams and Sharapova landed in the bottom quarter of the draw along with second-seeded Ashleigh Barty. The defending champion and No. 1 seed, Naomi Osaka, leads the top half of the draw. Coco Gauff, the 15-year-old American who had a breakthrough performance at Wimbledon in July, could play Osaka in the third round. Gauff begins with a fellow teenager: 18-year-old Anastasia Potapova of Russia.

ENGLAND will host West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Ireland in men’s international matches next year. West Indies and Pakistan both visit for three Tests as part of the World Test Championship, while Pakistan will also play three Twenty20 internationals. After this summer’s Ashes series, Australia return in 2020 to play three one-day internationals and three T20s. World Cup winners England will then host Ireland in three ODIs in September. The first international match of the summer sees England host West Indies in the first Test at The Oval, starting on 4 June.

The second Test will be at Edgbaston before the final Test at Lord’s, with Joe Root’s side looking to regain the Wisden Trophy after a 2-1 defeat in the West Indies earlier this year. Lord’s, Old Trafford and Trent Bridge will host the three Test matches against Pakistan in July and August, with the past two series between the sides in England having been drawn. With Twenty20 cricket set to be a key focus next year in the build up to the Men’s T20 World Cup in October, England face Australia who are hosting the tournament -at Chester-le-Street, Old Trafford and Headingley in July, before another three T20s against Pakistan in August and September.

Junior Agogo played for 15 clubs during a 15-year career.

Ex-Ghana, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers striker dies aged 40 FORMER Ghana, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers striker Junior Agogo has died at the age of 40. Agogo, who began his career at Sheffield Wednesday, played 27 times for his country and scored 12 goals. He finished his career at Hibernian in 2012 having also had spells in the United States, Cyprus and Egypt. Agogo suffered a stroke in 2015 and struggled with his speech afterwards, telling a BBC Four documentary in 2017 he felt anxious about his language. Agogo sealed his place in the hearts of Ghana fans with his performances at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations where he scored three goals including a late winner against Nigeria in Accra. “I think that was the goal that sealed his popularity in Ghana,” Laryea Kingston, the former

Hearts midfielder said. “During the tournament we could feel his influence in the team grow and his popularity go up but that goal sealed everything.” Despite playing alongside big names like Michael Essien and Asamoah Gyan, Agogo was the team’s star man. “A lot of fans didn’t know but those of us in the team knew he was going to be good for us,” Kingston added. “He spent a lot of time in the gym and his strength reflected in the way he played. He simply wanted to score goals and make a mark for the team and I am glad he did. “He had a word for everyone, enjoyed a good dance, could tease a lot and take it too. This has really hit a lot of us.” His former clubs were among those to pay tribute on social media. (BBC)

Kyle Kuzma knocked down three of his four three pointers in the first quarter.

Kuzma gets hot early to help USA Basketball beat Australia in exhibition game KYLE Kuzma continued to show off his overhauled shot during USA Basketball’s 102-86 victory over Australia in an exhibition game played early Thursday morning. The Los Angeles Lakersforward knocked down three of his first four threes in the first quarter to explode out of the gate with 9 points before ultimately finishing with 12 off of the bench. Kuzma didn’t do a ton else beyond that run to impact the game, ultimately finishing as one of just three players on Team USA with a negative box plus-

minus (-2) in the contest, but his ability to get hot at a moment’s notice does still appear to be an asset this team will value, and it’s hard not to think he’s at the very least made a decent case to make the final roster when the team actually begins the 2019 FIBA World Cup early next month. Kuzma’s 3-point stroke in the game was also a sight to behold, and something Lakers fans should be crossing their fingers will continue when the NBA season begins, as whether Kuzma makes the final Team USA roster or not, the purple

and gold’s offense will be basically unstoppable around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. USA Basketball still has a few more exhibition games and training sessions to go before beginning the 2019 FIBA World Cup on Sunday, Sept. 1 against the Czech Republic in Shanghai, China. Team USA will next play Australia in another exhibition game at 9:00 p.m. PT on Friday before finishing exhibition play with a game against Canada at 2:30 a.m. PT on Monday. Both games can be watched on NBA TV. (Silverscreenandroll)

World Champion high jumper Lasitskene criticises Russian Athletics over doping RUSSIAN high jump world champion Mariya Lasitskene has criticised her country’s suspended athletics federation for not doing enough to gain reinstatement. Lasitskene, 26, won her title in 2017 as a neutral athlete after Russia was barred from international competition in 2015 for statesponsored doping. She said: “The situation bothers me because I don’t see any movement. “It gives the impression we are trying to hang on, that we will be cleared and then just go on like before.” Russia’s status will be discussed on 23 September, days before the start of the World Championships in Qatar where Lasitskene is preparing to defend her title after remaining unbeaten internationally for more than a year. She is the only Russian track and field athlete to currently hold a world

High jumper Mariya Lasitskene won the World Championship in 2017 as a neutral athlete and will aim to defend her title in Qatar next month.

title, which she won in London, and added: “We need to understand that things have to change drastically.” Some Russians with no doping

history, such as Lasitskene, are allowed to compete under a neutral flag, but they are subject to more stringent anti-doping tests than athletes from other countries. Russia have been banned by the International Association of Athletics’ Federations (IAAF) since a report by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) showed evidence of mass doping. That suspension was extended in June as Russian athletics chiefs had failed to satisfy the demands of a ‘roadmap’ to reinstatement. Their status will be up for discussion at a meeting of the IAAF Council, but Lasitskene is not convinced they have done enough to be welcomed back into the international fold. “If there is still a white flag next to my name then their reinstatement efforts are not good enough,” she said.

Reaston-Brown gain valuable experience in UK sailing events GRACE Reaston-Brown competed in two solid experience building events over the last few weeks in the UK as she prepares for the upcoming North American Championships in the Bahamas this October. The events were more than experience, they delivered quality training for the youngster. First up was the British Nationals taking place in Weymouth, home of the 2012 Olympics for sailing. It is known for its big waves and strong winds so this would be one of the toughest events Grace has sailed to date. As expected the four days of racing were very challenging for even the most experienced of skippers with shifting winds each day. Grace was awarded the Endeavor Trophy for the character she showed on the water throughout the competition. Grace wasn’t finished there. Two days later she travelled across the Irish sea to Howth Yacht Club for the Irish National Championship where 200 sailors from 11 countries were competing. This was another tough four days of racing in over 30 knots of wind for the most part. Grace had been entered in the senior gold fleet, which was filled with sailors who had just come back from the Optimist World Championships and had finished in the top 50 in the

Grace returns home this weekend and according to coach Ross they will sit down and discuss the two events

and set new training programmes to improve her short-term goals over the coming weeks.

Clarke wants Durant’s shooting abilities and Antetokounmpo’s athleticism ONE of TCI’s top basketball players, Shadarno Clarke wants to be a hybrid player going forward in his career. He wants to command the forward position with the gifts of two of the NBA’s finest. “I look up to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, one in an athletic finisher and one is a shooter, if I can combine my game to be both of them, I think I can take my game to the next level.” The Rising Stars’ player made the statement earlier this month, during a promotional video by his school team, Campbellsville University Harrodsburg Men’s Basketball team.

Although the season would not start until November, Clarke is already in full training and is pumped up. “I’m always ready to war,” he told the Weekly News recently. Although the 6’7” is a double double machine on the court, off of it he has his head in the right place and is thinking long term. “I like to make basketball a stepping stone for me to get a degree in Sports Management and Business, because in the Turks and Caicos there is a lot of business….” “There is only a few that keep their head in and just dig in for what

they want. I know what I want, I want to get a degree, I want to have businesses,” Clarke stated in the video. BEST THAT I CAN BE The former Galilean Christian Academy student said that he hopes to make his family and all of the TCI proud. “Every day I miss my family, I wish I could be with my family, but it’s only for the best for me to be here.…I want to make my family proud, I’m trying to make my country proud, I’m going to do the best I can to keep that. And that’s a promise to myself.”

Shadarno Clarke is on a mission to balance books and ball.
