PLOT TWIST:

Washington Misick returned as PNP leader

BY DELANA ISLES IN A surprising move, interim ‘retiring’ leader of the Progressive National Party (PNP) Washington Misick, who for two years denied he would be contesting the leadership of the party, has been elected as leader.

The last-minute announcement that Misick would be competing against the three candidates who had thrown their names in the ring by the close of nomination, came as a shock to some, was upsetting to a few, but was ultimately accepted by the majority of the electors who gifted him a landslide victory for the leadership.

He received 88 of the votes, while the other three candidates Ricardo Donhue Gardiner, Reverend John Malcolm and Hon. George Lightbourne received 21, 19 and zero, respectively.

Lightbourne’s name was taken off the ballot after he did not show up on the day of the election.

Calvin Green was elected chairman; Lofton ‘Jay’ Morley Jr, deputy chairman; Gordon Burton, treasurer; Derrek Hall, party whip; Jameka Williams, public relations officer; Bishop Coleta Williams, chaplin and Sonia Williams as secretary general of the PNP. During a ‘two minute speech’ in the House of Assembly on Monday (March 4), the newly elected leader, who also served as the territory’s chief minister from April 1991 to January 1995, called on the Sharlene

Cartwright Robinson Government to work along with the PNP on major issues affecting the Islands.

“The greatest need in my view is for the two major parties in these Islands to speak with one voice…

“As the newly elected member of the oldest political party in the territory in this 42nd year of partisan politics, I propose an inter-party forum to agree once and for all on what the big issues are and the greatest concerns of these Islands.”

He then addressed the fact that for almost two years he has been calling for “fresh blood” to lead the party, while also stating that he is anxious to retire from frontline politics, build his business, tend to personal affairs and coach the party from the side lines.

“Over the past two years, I have been saying that I am done with this and I am leaving, but there comes a time for every man and nation to make a decision.

“I believe, and I say this at the risk of sounding conceited, people who have known me all these years know that I have tried to do my best, I have worked hard for these Islands.

“I think I have a legacy that is not all bad and I believe it behoves me in a time like this to stand up, be counted and continue to contribute to these Islands even at my own detriment, my own personal economic loss.”

Misick said he is proud to have received the confidence of the majority of the delegates at the PNP congress this past weekend.

UNITED CONGRESS The highly anticipated national congress of the PNP was held from March 1 to 3 under the theme ‘United for a Common Purpose’.

The event opened with a meet and greet at the party headquarters on Airport Road, Providenciales, last Friday evening, where delegates from all of the sister islands mixed and mingled with their constituents, residents and the media.

The following day, the party hosted a Business Session at the Shore Club’s conference room, chaired by former deputy leader of the PNP Carlos Simons QC. A guest presentation was

Newly elected PNP Leader, Washington Misick

delivered by Ariel Misick QC who spoke on the role of political parties in a democracy.

Misick charged the delegates to be responsible in the affairs of the party and the territory and to work with all stakeholders on major national issues.

Also speaking at the event was party stalwart, Norman Saunders who regaled delegates with the history of the PNP, reminding them of the party’s accomplishments and

its commitment to the progress of the TCI and its people.

There were also discussions on the controversial Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) report, during which time the party congress agreed to establish a working committee comprised of representatives from each constituency to canvass the views of constituents.

It was agreed that the National CONTINUED 

Plane crash survivors rescued by cruise ship near Grand Turk TWO American plane crash survivors were rescued by a cruise ship after their small aircraft went down in the sea near Grand Turk on Tuesday morning (March 5).

The private aeroplane which departed from St Maarten suffered an engine failure causing it to crash into TCI waters just southeast of the capital.

At the same time the Regal Princess cruise ship was sailing towards St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. The captain received a distress signal and immediately changed course.

According to Hon. Delroy Williams, Minister of Home Affairs, Agriculture and Human Services, several rescue vessels were dispatched to the scene.

They included boats from the US Coast Guard, the Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies and the Royal TCI Police Force’s Marine Division.

The two survivors were found clinging to life on a makeshift raft.

Regal Princess dispatched a rescue boat to collect the crash victims and the US Coast Guard

provided assistance in directing it to the exact location.

The survivors were given medical attention and food as soon as they were on board the ship.

The cruise ship, which is operated by Carnival-owned Princess Cruises, then continued on its journey to the US Virgin Islands.

In 2016 an elderly man on a small boat went missing after running out of fuel in the Baltic, the Regal Princess was in the region and rescued him. (By Olivia Rose)

Gov’t writes off $89m in tax penalties

BY DELANA ISLES FORTY-one businesses could benefit from a write-off of more than $89 million in tax penalties – with Beaches saving $76 million and Club Med saving nearly $9 million.

But they must make arrangements with the Government before May 31 to pay all outstanding taxes, or the relief will be forfeited.

The respite comes as three bills on tax collection for hotels, restaurants and tourism related businesses were passed in the House of Assembly earlier this week.

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson has stated that the waiver does not include taxes for TCI businesses, which will still be collected in full.

The three bills were read in the House of Assembly on February 18 for the first time, and spirited debate took place on Monday and Tuesday (March 4 and 5).

The bills are: The Hotel Restaurant and Tourism Taxation Bill, which provides an overhaul to the law passed since 1985 allowing for modernisation of the law and a strengthening of the collection of taxes.

The Hotel Restaurant and Tourism Taxation (Amnesty) Bill, which allows for a two month penalty amnesty from April 1 to May 31.

During the amnesty period, a proprietor who pays all outstanding taxes due up to and including the year ending March 31 shall be entitled to relief from interest.

And, The Hotel Restaurant and Tourism Taxation (Validation) Bill, which seeks to ratify past actions.

In a statement on the bills on Thursday (March 7), the premier noted that regrettably not everyone was able to hear the debate in the House of Assembly where three serving former ministers shared their thoughts on why “we were where we are today”.

She stated that of particular concern was the amnesty bill that offers relief to 41 local and expatriate owned businesses.

“I offer again the following facts as stated during the debate: there has been no write off of taxes for any business.”

She stated that currently there are 41 establishments that are in arrears position of which seven have been referred to Attorney General Chambers, 15 have paid the entire principal amount but not the interest, not accruing, and 19 have made no payments with interest accruing.

“Of the 19 businesses, Beaches TCI and Club Med collectively account for 96 percent of the amount outstanding.

“Should these businesses opt to benefit from the amnesty, $28,638,820 of principal will be collected and $85,191,912 in interest will be forfeited.”

She added that the total amounts in arrears of principal and interest are $29,684,123 and $89,147,690 respectively as at January 31, 2019.

BEACHES “On the matter of Beaches, three former ministers of finance, currently serving, correctly summed up the situation as it relates to Beaches.

Executive Committee will then develop a white paper based on these recommendations, and this will form the basis of any negotiation with Her Majesty’s Government, if or when they accept the FAC’s recommendations.

The evening ended with the elections of officers of the party.

Following his election as leader, Misick thanked the party for the confidence they continue to repose in him.

“I am grateful for the confidence placed in me and I am more committed than ever to rescue our country out of the systemic dysfunction we are experiencing.

“It is going to take hard work, and all hands need to be on deck. So, I will be making attempts to engage all in this effort.”

Newly elected chairman Calvin Green, who replaces Royal

Robinson, said he is grateful to have been afforded the opportunity to serve the party, and was humbled by the party’s trust in him.

He extended congratulations to the leader and all of the newly elected executive members on their victory.

Green also thanked everyone else who ran for office, for their dedication and commitment to the advancement of the party.

“You have all demonstrated a love and keen interest in moving this great party ahead, and I look forward to working with all of you as well.

“We have much work to do and we will need all hands on deck.”

He also encouraged all to put forth a combined effort as they work collaboratively to attempt to lead the PNP to victory in the upcoming general elections.

On Sunday, the PNP congress ended with a church service at Faith Tabernacle.

the fact that the actions should be considered for what it is: a cleaning up exercise.

“Hon. Royal Robinson offered that it was a matter that the issue has run on so long and now the ‘chickens have come home to roost and certain adjustments must be made’ and Hon. Washington Misick stated that he believes that this was a genuine oversight by all Governments: PDM and PNP since 1997.”

The premier added that she agrees with these views, save for the fact that she has every reason to believe that the immediate past minister of finance (Misick) had knowledge of the matter, and that in fact his party issued a release saying that he commissioned the audit that revealed the findings.

Cartwright Robinson said the audit covered September 2014 to August 2016, and revealed that though Beaches and successive Governments operated on the understanding that it should pay 60 percent of the 12 percent tax, there was no written evidence, save a letter written by Hon. Washington Misick in 2014 confirming this to be the practise.

“Despite the findings revealing the oversight on the part of all successive Governments, my Government has requested the payment of the full 100

percent of taxes for this period.

“I wish to thank the Revenue Control Unit for its work. In addition, I wish to assure the public that Beaches and Club Med continues to pay its monthly taxes before the statutory deadline.”

She said as it relates to Club Med, which since its opening has been allowed to pay 40 percent of the 12 percent tax under a development agreement, that agreement has since expired and the former administration had continued to collect under the same rate under the expired agreement.

To this end, the Premier said the Revenue Control Unit had to assess both establishments on 100 percent and this is the matter currently before them.

She firmly stated that only penalties are proposed to be written off.

“Penalties under the current ordinance calculates monthly at 10 percent compounded.

“For an amount outstanding of $29,684,123, the total penalties are $89,147, 690.”

She stated that all businesses owing under this audit are now attracting 240 percent in interest/ penalty on the original taxes owed.

“As an example if a business owes

Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson

$10,000 in taxes, it now attracts a penalty/interest of $38,000 for the audit period.

“While penalties have been put in place to deter late payments, we believe the rate of 10 percent compounded monthly was too onerous and have reduced the rate and how it is calculated going forward under the new ordinance passed on Monday (March 4).

The premier further confirmed that local businesses will benefit under the amnesty.

“Despite there being no request by the Opposition for a list of proposed beneficiaries, I now release the list of businesses that stand to benefit under the amnesty programme and encourage them to take advantage of the offer that allows payment plans for up to two years.

“I appeal especially to locally owned businesses that have popular standing. We are more than happy to be able to provide such an opportunity,” Premier Cartwright Robinson said.

A Weekly News column that puts you on the spot for your opinions on the issues of the day

BRITISH FORCE The recent report by the Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) strongly recommends the removal of Belongership status to allow British citizens the right to vote in overseas territories’ elections and the legislation of gay marriage.

The report, which has not yet been presented to the British parliament for approval, further suggests that a timetable be set for the introduction of these changes to the territories’ constitutions and if the changes aren’t made within that time period, then they should be imposed by the UK government.

What recourse do the TCI and the overseas territories have? What are your thoughts?

Three steps

The UK is going to do what it wants by way of order in council. The approach to resistance would have to be: 1) A collective resistance from the overseas territories.

2) A regional support resistance through Caricom and the independent Caribbean states.

3) Appropriate application to the United Nations.

Short of that just roll over and take it any which way.

Two-way deal

Any move to promote human rights is always welcome. But what do we get in exchange?

Is it full access to British health and education systems, is it open access to UK passport/citizenship, are we going to have the same rights in the UK that any other British citizen has?

This need to be a two-way deal, in those conditions only, then we can compromise.

No plagues

Not too many years ago, the local population got all up in arms over Britain’s compelling the de-criminalisation of homosexual acts between consenting adults in private, claiming that God would be incensed and the country smitten.

Well, surprise, surprise, God’s wrath was noticeably absent and there has been no recognisable change in day-to-day life for anyone.

Now we are stirring up the same kind of tempest about the legalisation of gay marriage which will be similarly undisruptive, and have no effect on anyone except those few persons wishing to marry someone of the same sex.

Are there any examples anywhere of God calling down his plagues on those countries that already legalised gay marriage?

No, so let the local preachers rant all they want, and hope that the Government will (maybe) finally get on with the business of

actually governing.

Getting the Government to think realistically about widening the franchise in this country is a pipe dream, no matter how logical and beneficial it would be, so we should resign ourselves to the continuation of their ‘heads in the sand’ policy in this regard.

But they should seriously be concerned about any proposal that would allow the unrestricted flow of British or British overseas territory citizens from elsewhere into the TCI without any regard for their ability to support themselves or their potential disruption of the local labour and housing markets.

Smoke screen

Take note TCI that the UK’s main concern is the implementation of a register of beneficial ownership of companies.

All this talk about gay marriages and Belongership to all British citizens is nothing but a smoke screen.

Note also that there is no such thing as Belongership – it’s Turks and Caicos Islander status. The pathway to TCI status is constitutionally mandated already so why be up in arms about it? It is nothing new.

As to gay marriages, why discriminate against a minority of the populace? Get into the 21st century TCI. While we are being distracted by these two issues, the British will slip through with their real mission and that is getting their hands on the money their own wealthy citizens have squirreled away in jurisdictions like the TCI.

The reality

The UK because of imperial arrogance and a sense of superiority over all dominions embraced colonialism in its Brexit vote.

It is now facing reality and thus shall return to colonialism by setting out to recolonise and exploit to the maximum its remaining colonies.

Turks and Caicos Islands - understand the reality.

Invasive and racist

The “strong” recommendation by the United Kingdom’s FAC to have through the backdoor changes to the TCI Constitution so as to implement these dastardly recommendations is modern day imperialism and racism in the worst manner possible.

The odious nature of the recommendations confirms to most TC Islanders that the TCI Constitution 2011 is but a mere piece of paper, not binding on the Queen and is not respected by the British government.

The sheer nature of those recommendations - to remove Belongership, allow British citizens the right to vote in overseas territories, are all invasive and carry a deliberate racist intent.

They are discriminatory against the rights and sacred beliefs of the TC Islanders who carry a firm conviction in their Christian beliefs.

The very idea of gay marriage is anathema to the Bible, prohibited, scorned, disgraceful, embarrassing, a “sin”, “abominable” and according to scripture, those that practice it will be sent to Hell.

Basically, the FAC are telling the TCI’s people to tear up and disregard their Bibles in a deadly assault on their sacred beliefs and their fundamental right to freedom of conscience.

Some of them attempt to equate gay rights with civil rights, which they are not and the suggestion is insulting.

Biblical doctrine does not condemn a man to hell because of his or her race or the colour of his skin but it is clear in the Bible that one suffers eternal damnation for engaging in the gay lifestyle.

Amnesty International calls on the UK to legalise gay marriage in Northern Ireland. Yet what happens after that? It would give them the pseudo-right to impose it on the TCI. What they all don’t get is that most TCI people think this idea is fundamentally wrong.

It won’t happen

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

Who will marry same sex partners not Baptist, Catholic, Methodists or other religions.

What district will British voters register in?

Imperialistic

It cannot be agreed that Belongership status must be done away with. Belongership in the

TCI has been watered down to the point where it is of little protection to TC Islanders by marriages of convenience.

This proposal will seal our fate even further.

It is also evident that British society and way of life is in a state of disrepair. The UK’s experiment to bring migrants from terror leaning Muslim states has backfired: there are street stabbings, rape of women, and attacking ‘non-believers’ and ardent Christians who would not submit to Islam.

For some, living in the UK has become unbearable. This is a UK imported problem.

The FAC is seeking to rid the UK of the people that they do not want there. It is an ageold tactic on the part of the British.

The recent racist attempt to send otherwise legal Caribbean people back home, the WindRush incident is a most recent example of that deeply ingrained racist mentality on the part of the British.

TC Islanders must take on a heightened awareness in light of this report and its racist recommendations.

The proposal to remove Belongership is in favour of what? It cannot be reciprocity for giving TC Islanders UK, European passports.

Letting 20,000 TC Islanders into the UK in exchange for the possibility of 500,000 or two million unwanted UK citizens cannot be fair nor reciprocal.

Imperialistic in its it intent, that would immediately, if implemented this year, lead to a British led TCI Government by the 2020 elections.

Instead of electing ministers with contrived and learnt British accents, that would change to ministers and premiers who are truly British.

All you’d need is 2,000 of them on each island, evenly spread around into each electoral district.

TCI politicians must know that time for them could be fleeting if they drop this ball.

The very expression of political party, blue, yellow, red, green could all be removed. So much is at stake it is unimaginable.

Tourism related amnesty and tax bills passed in HOA

BY DELANA ISLES

THREE tax bills were passed this week in the House of Assembly that will see a repositioning of the way the Government deals with tourism related businesses in the territory.

The bills were presented by Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson who is also Minister of Finance, Investment and Trade.

They are the Hotel and Restaurant Tourism (Taxation) Bill, the Hotel and Restaurant Tourism Taxation (Amnesty) Bill and the Hotel and Restaurant Tourism Taxation (Validation) Bill.

TAXATION BILL This bill deals with the designation of premises, the registration of those premises, the rate of tax and its collection by proprietors.

It provides for the treatment of

all-inclusive premises as a separate class of premises in the ordinance and for a definition of all-inclusive premises.

It also provides for a prescribed rate which will be provided for based on a tiered system of qualifiers for all-inclusive premises in the subsidiary legislation.

The bill further sets out the administrative provisions for the assessment of a proprietor in certain cases; for accounts to be kept by the proprietor; for the treatment of deposits for reservation of services and for returns and payment of tax.

Another part of the bill makes provision for cases of default and for the assessment and enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance.

The bill also addresses the designation and taxation for restaurant services and seeks to provide for the collection of the tax

Pristine Grace Bay beach on the north shore of Providenciales

Grace Bay loses best beach status But remains one of world’s top five

BY OLIVIA ROSE THE TCI’s beautiful Grace Bay beach has placed fifth on TripAdvisor’s list of the world’s top beaches for 2019.

It was knocked from the top spot this year by Brazil’s Baia do Sancho beach, after retaining number one position since 2017.

Baia do Sancho outranked 352 beaches around the globe and was described by online travel site TripAdvisor members as “magical,” “extraordinary” and “paradisiac”.

The ratings for the ‘Best beaches in the world – Traveller’s Choice Awards’ are based on the quantity and quality of traveller reviews and ratings on TripAdvisor over a 12-month

period.

This year’s list was published on February 26 and ranked the pristine TCI beach located on the north shore of Providenciales as number five.

One reviewer described Grace Bay as: “Shimmering white sand and warm enveloping waters.

The colour of the water makes your heart leap.”

In second place this year was Varadero beach in Cuba, in third was Eagle beach in Aruba and fourth was La Concha beach in Spain.

The 2019 top 10 beaches are all distributed throughout the west, with the conspicuous absence of any destinations in Asia, Africa, the Middle East or Oceania.

in respect of tourism service.

It provides for offences and penalties and deals with miscellaneous items with a number of general provisions.

AMNESTY BILL The amnesty bill provides for an amnesty period of two months (April 1 to May 31) to facilitate the payment of outstanding taxes due and payable under the hotel, restaurant and tourism (HRT) taxation ordinance and for a waiver of penalty due in respect of the outstanding remittances of the taxes.

During the amnesty period, a proprietor who pays all outstanding taxes due and payable, in accordance with section four of the bill shall be entitled to the relief specified in that section and to the payment conditions.

The amnesty bill further stipulates that notwithstanding any written law to the contrary, there shall be a waiver of the following liabilities: all penalties due and payable on any outstanding taxes due and payable under the HRT Taxation Ordinance for the years up to and including the year ending December 31, 2018, where such taxes are paid during the amnesty period.

All penalties due and payable on any outstanding taxes due and payable under the HRT Taxation Ordinance for the years up to and including December 31, 2018, where such taxes are paid prior to April 1,

2019, and where such penalties have not been paid.

All penalties due and payable on any outstanding taxes due and payable under the HRT Taxation Ordinance for the years up to and including the year ending December 31, 2018, where such returns are filed during the amnesty period.

And all penalties due and payable on any outstanding taxes due and payable under the HRT Taxation Ordinance for the years up to and including December 31, 2018 and filed prior to April 1, 2019, where such penalties have not been paid.

The bill further sets out “for the avoidance of doubt”, the waiver granted shall not affect any liability to remit the tax outstanding and due and payable by a proprietor under the HRT Taxation Ordinance, or apply to any penalties paid prior to April 1, 2019.

It further states that where any taxes remain outstanding under the HRT Taxation Ordinance after the amnesty period, the penalties, which would have been payable on such remittances shall be revived and become payable as if the waiver had not been granted.

AMNESTY PAYMENT CONDITIONS The bill reads that the Permanent Secretary of Finance, may, during the amnesty period, enter into an agreement with a proprietor for the remittance in payment of the

Under the tree

outstanding taxes due and payable and the accrued penalties, in full or in instalments.

An agreement shall be in writing and provide the payment terms agreed to, which shall not extend beyond April 30, 2021.

In respect of accrued penalties, the following conditions shall apply: Where a proprietor remits the outstanding taxes due and payable within 30 days of the amnesty period, a 100 percent reduction in the accrued penalties owed.

Where a proprietor remits the outstanding taxes due and payable within 45 days of the amnesty period, a reduction of 50 percent in the accrued penalties owed.

And where a proprietor remits the outstanding taxes due and payable within the amnesty period, a reduction of 25 percent in the accrued penalties.

All payments of the resulting reduction in the accrued penalties shall be paid by the end of the period specified.

VALIDATION BILL Meanwhile, the final bill, the taxation validation bill, seeks to provide for the validation of taxes collected for guests under 12 years over the period from the commencement of the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism (Taxation) Ordinance 1985 to the date of the coming into effect of this ordinance.

Lightbourne says ‘no place for me in PNP leadership”

Gardiner and Robinson welcome newly elected executive

BY DELANA ISLES

MIXED reactions followed the Progressive National Party (PNP) congress held last weekend to elect a new leader and executive.

During the event, party delegates voted resoundingly for Hon. Charles Washington Misick to be returned as leader of the party, after having served as interim leader since 2016 elections when the party was left leaderless with the resignation former premier Rufus Ewing.

Misick received a whopping 88 of the votes, with other candidates Ricardo Donhue Gardiner and Reverend John Malcolm pulling in a combined 40 votes.

The third leadership candidate, George Lightbourne was a no show at the event.

The Weekly News reached out to Lightbourne on Thursday (March 7) for comment on his lack of attendance on what was to have been a very important occasion for him as first time candidate for the party’s leadership role.

“I never pulled out of the race, I never retracted my application,” he said. “I simply did not attend the convention because it was obvious to me that there is no place in the PNP for me, at least not at the leadership level.”

Lightbourne said exactly what he predicted in the lead up to the elections, is exactly what happened, and expressed his dissatisfaction at the way things were handled to get

George Lightbourne, PNP elected member

Misick on the ballot.

“Hon. Missick never applied to the PNP party to be considered as a candidate for leader according to the party constitution, however the party found a way to make a motion allowing him entry at the last minute because certain members of the party felt that the candidates that did apply were not good enough for them.”

He also strongly refuted claims by the party that it was ready for “fresh blood”, a claim that has been made repeatedly by Misick in the past several months.

“The party is not open to a new and fresh approach to leadership, they seem to be contented with the same old way of conducting business.

“In order for any organisation to grow it must be willing to expand through participation of all eligible members.

He added that any organisation that discriminates against members based on origin and belief is bound to fail.

“The soil is fertile for a PNP victory in the upcoming election, but it will not happen unless the party shifts gears and allows the organs of the party to function as outlined in the constitution,” the two time

elected member said.

He added: “The country is screaming for change and the PNP is screaming Washy. There’s a word for ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ what’s the word...”

Lightbourne also refuted reports that he will be taking legal action against the PNP, and promised that he will continue to represent his constituency in and out of the House of Assembly.

me, the confidence you have put in me is appreciated. I thank our Leader, Hon. C W Misick, Hon. George Lightbourne and Rev John Malcolm for a hard fought race.”

GARDINER CONGRATULATES MISICK Other leadership hopeful, Ricardo Donhue Gardiner took a different approach to his defeat.

In a statement to the press on March 2, he stated: “The race for leader of the Progressive National Party is over and Hon. C W Misick has won.

“I wish him all the best and pledge him my support in the awesome task ahead.”

Gardiner called on everyone to work together to heal the party, and to ensure the kind of vigour that is necessary to energise the party for great work ahead.

“I thank all those who supported

ROYAL SPEAKS Former chairman of the PNP, Royal

Robinson threw his full support behind Misick as leader of the party.

“Washington Misick is unequivocally and unambiguously the Leader of the Progressive National Party and Leader of the Opposition in the House of Assembly and he has the numbers to prove it.

“In horse racing, they would say that Misick won in a canter or won going away. Have no fear, now the PDM are scared.”

Robinson said the party is united like never before, and that democracy is alive and well.

‘Give an amnesty to all in tax arrears,’ attorney says

BY OLIVIA ROSE LOCAL attorney Mark Fulford said everyone who is in tax arrears should be given a break from paying penalties, not just those late in paying hotel, restaurant and tourism tax.

It should apply for those who owe on NIB, NHIP, business licences and Crown land leases, he said in a statement on Wednesday (March 6).

On Monday, the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Taxation (Amnesty) Bill was presented in the House of Assembly by Premier and Minister of Finance Sharlene Cartwright Robinson.

The amnesty, which will take place from April 1 to May 31, will allow for a waiver of all penalties payable on any outstanding taxes due and payable under the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism (Taxation) Ordinance.

Specifically, the amnesty bill offers relief of more than $89 million to 41 local and expatriate owned businesses.

During the House of Assembly debate, the Government said the tax reprieve was necessary to do business, while the Opposition argued that it should have been done in a more prudent and transparent manner.

Fulford, who was a political candidate in the 2016 elections,

suggested that both parties missed the point.

In a statement issued on Wednesday (March 6), Fulford said: “The current Government says previous administrations got the valuations of tax rates wrong over the years, including the interim Government ie. the British.

“They all failed year-after-year to identify the miscalculation or the ‘handshake agreement’ upon which it was based.

“Both parties may have missed the real issue - there maybe two solutions that includes Belongers and is fair to all Turks and Caicos Islanders.”

He said the Opposition was right to have raised the point - argued

by Hon. Washington Misick - that provision be made for the “little man” in this extension of amnesty.

“I don’t think we went far enough and it may be a legal question,” he said.

“Under the TCI Constitution (2012 Edition), the rule against discrimination is clear: No benefit can be extended to one Turks and Caicos Islander that is denied or even not extended to any other (under our law, Mitt Romney is right, companies are citizens).

“Therefore, the Opposition should have demanded and the Government should have proposed that every

Illegal fishermen arrested with conch and rockfish THE MARINE Branch’s vessel, the Sea Guardian, intercepted an illegal fishing vessel with hundreds of pounds of conch on Wednesday (March 6).

Police reported that at 10.30am on the day in question, officers stopped and apprehended a white “panga” type fishing vessel carrying 300lbs of conch meat and

20lbs of rockfish.

According to reports, the vessel was fishing in the vicinity of Swimmer’s Rock on the southern Caicos Banks.

Four Dominican nationals were arrested and taken into custody.

The vessel was taken to the marine base without incident or major issues.

Man steals from learning institution A 28-YEAR-OLD man is currently in police custody following his arrest in connection with a robbery at a Government learning institution in Providenciales.

The unnamed man was arrested after a February 20 report of the theft of a number of laptops.

He was recently taken to Providenciales Magistrate’s Court where he pleaded guilty to the

charge.

He was ordered to pay $2,000 by the March 26 to the complainant or face 90 days in prison.

Meanwhile, police have also nabbed another thief, this time on Grand Turk.

The 37-year-old man has been charged with robbery in connection with a report made on February 24.

Attorney-at-law Mark A Fulford

Belonger, whether in arrears for NIB, NHIB, business licence, Crown land lease etc. should all be extended amnesty on the same terms given to the 41 entities to whom this ordinance applies.”

He stressed that since the Government is confident that the people of TCI will lose no principal under the ordinance, it should be applied across the board.

“The companies will have the benefit of time through an extended

BEACHES BENEFITS The lawyer said the Government is right that in business and reality, a person must make decisions based on the larger picture, rather than narrow concerns or political emotions.

“Let’s take Beaches for example, which is large and dominant because they are the best at what they do,” he said.

“Every other international brand in this region has fallen into bankruptcy, except Beaches. In practical terms Beaches brings the most tourists to our shores.

“If Beaches’ accounting says that we have priced them out of the market, we must remember that affects the airlifts to our shores.

“This means that Beaches is actually caught between the TCIG and the airlines. Any good Government understands these levels of pressure and knows that too

much tax, too much red tape means not only Beaches but eventually airlines will abandon the Turks and Caicos Islands, which presents an even bigger problem.”

He said the Opposition had a fair point in acknowledging that more should have been done to gain a better understanding of the actual accounting behind the amnesty ordinance before tabling the bill.

He said: “Governments should never try to solve just the problem before them. But a progressive Government would have used this problem of misevaluation of tax to do a ‘super development agreement’ with Beaches and other accredited hotel properties which would craft a solution that will provide a stable stream of revenue for the next 10 to 15 years.

“I am aware how fast things change, but that only means our foresight and adaptability must be on the cutting edge, so that we can create a new model for the hospitality industry that present and new investors find attractive and will flock to our shores.”

Packed sloop carrying 85 passengers intercepted EIGHTY-five men and women from Haiti have been detained after a sloop they were packed onto was caught navigating in TCI waters.

The Marine Branch of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force intercepted the boat to the south west of West Caicos on Tuesday (March 5).

According to a police report issued on Wednesday (March 6), the vessel was detected by the coastal radar system at about 9pm.

Placing our flesh and Why go solar? blood at a disadvantage PART ONE

Dear Editor, Critical points were raised in the recent Foreign Affairs Committee report which some in the media/ press and locally elected politicians/ leaders are either ignoring or not giving enough coverage too, perhaps because the ‘hot-button’ issues in the report are overshadowing and drowning them out.

It’s a pity because contained in this report is a significant issue that UK overseas territory governments should be very concerned about, which they need to stand up for and get behind - there is no reason not to help get it resolved.

It is not that they have not been made aware of it; they have several times in writing.

They (BOT elected leaders, AGs and governors) to date, have not had the common courtesy to even reply to our letters. Disappointing.

Having their support is critical and they should be in the driving seat leading the charge. Their mute responses are astonishing.

The report mentions the present day and historical unfair and unequal treatment of its people.

The denial of British OT citizenship rights to children, now adults of descent, born abroad, outside of

marriage.

While the same category of children, now adults, with mainland UK fathers got given a retrospective right to register for their father’s nationality under Sec 65 Immigration Act 2014.

The same category of children, now adults of UK overseas territory descent, were intentionally left out due there being “no time to consult” the territories before the implementation of these amendments (per Home Office Minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach and Lord Ahmad).

The same historical discrimination does not apply to OTs’ mothers, or anyone born to a father or mother after July 1, 2016.

Page three (summary): “The UK government needs to ensure that those who should be able to claim British overseas territories’ citizenship can do so.”

Paragraph four, page 58: “The issue of citizenship by descent stems from an anomaly in the British Nationality Act, which means that fathers with British overseas territories’ citizenship cannot pass it on to children born outside the OTs between 1948 and 2006 if they were not married to the child’s mother at

the time of birth.

“In May 2018, the Joint Committee on Human Rights described this anomaly as an unacceptable form of discrimination, while Montserrat’s representative, Janice Panton, said it “has caused a lot of anguish among some parents.”

Lord Ahmad is not able to indicate when the matter would be resolved. He said that “discussions are ongoing across Government on this.”

Paragraph four, point 60: “The Government should urgently address concerns in the OTs about the issue of citizenship by descent and anomalies in the British Nationality Act that have taken too long to resolve.”

The people of the OTs have a right to be fully informed and engaged on the issue.

We hope this post will raise the conversation and get people to demand their OT elected leaders and governors have a hand in fixing this demeaning and hurtful piece of legislation which places our flesh and blood at a disadvantage.

Trent Lamont Miller, British Overseas Territories Nationality and Citizenship Rights Campaign

Dear Editor, By no means am I an expert on renewable energy but the global strategy for mitigating climate change is no secret.

Most developed countries have embarked on an initiative to make the transition to clean energy sources.

In the Turks and Caicos Islands, power plants are still relying on diesel fuel to generate electricity.

Although FortisTCI is diversifying its energy mix and allowing customers to connect solar PV systems to the grid, there’s a pretty significant start-up cost for the average consumer.

Harvesting solar energy in the Caribbean region is advantageous, not only because of its abundant sunlight but also because, since its inception, solar has seen a significant drop in installation prices.

On a positive note, I must say, post the devastating hurricanes that severely impacted our tiny islands in 2017, I commend FortisTCI for the job that was done with coordinating their efforts in conjunction with our Caribbean and Canadian partners to restore electricity within a reasonable time frame.

Nevertheless, I think this was a missed opportunity for Fortis, one of the top 15 utilities companies in North America and the Caribbean,

not to replace down power lines in select areas with underground cables.

While the cost per kilowatt varies by country, we in the TCI have a multi-layered electricity rate design.

Residential customers pay anywhere from 29 to 43 cents per kilowatt-hour. Most developed countries are paying an average of 25 cents per kilowatt-hour while the average price people in the US pay for electricity is about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour.

We need to take advantage of the proven cutting edge technology that’s out there, such as wind power, or solar energy which are alternatives to burning fossil fuels.

Our country is in a good position to become trail blazers and not just followers of the free world.

An air conditioning unit uses lots of energy to remove heat from a room. To provide that energy, all you need is enough solar panels installed properly to capture the radiant energy of the sun which our country has been blessed with a lot of.

Why isn’t the country as a whole harnessing this clean energy like FortisTCI’s power plant is doing in Provo?

Not only will it be a cost savings to consumers, but if we don’t act now, down the road we could be faced with potentially devastating consequences like changes in the rainy seasons, CONTINUED 

COMMENTARY

Nothing ventured, nothing gained WITH 16 key PNP men and woman submitting to British justice for all kinds of alleged stuff, the progressive party has been at a crossroads.

Then they lost the late 2016 election by a landslide. The question has been out there: who will lead the party and possibly reorganise it?

Dr Rufus Ewing stepped aside the day after he lost his seat in the 2016 election. Shortly thereafter Washington Misick announced he was retiring.

Now 70-years-old, it would appear that because of his relationship with the PNP over the years he may be sitting on a fat bank account. Not in his bank of course.

February early March.

The results - Washy is still national PNP leader. The retirement is off!

Why did Washington change his mind? This paper published the pictures of three declared candidates and Washington was not among them.

Did the glow of the Weekly News’ ‘Person of the Year’ designation by Gemma Handy make Washy feel

young again? Golly I wish I was still only 70!

Likely it was something else. It appears the candidates and others who threw their hat in the ring were not acceptable.

Acceptable to who? George Lightbourne is an election winner!

We noticed that George was not the happiest minister in the 20122016 Rufus/Washy Government.

Did the word come down from

North Caicos? No Grand Turk or South Caicos leader.

Why not Josephine? She was a 2016 winner - on the coattails of the PDM. Then in the 11th hour along comes Shaun Malcolm.

That is when an explosion of disparaging comments hit the streets and the internet.

With Shaun Malcolm of TCI Journal fame back home at the PNP, I have to smile about the days Shaun pretended to be a PDM. He and his designated deputy Finbar showed up at our home on the eve of a PDM convention with a story of how Mike Misick physically got the leadership away from brother Washy in the late years of the last century. Wow, what a story!

To make a long story short Shaun and Finbar got only one vote each for leader and deputy of the PDM.

Shaun left that PDM convention never to return. Now who the is code red? Mix yellow and blue and you get the colour green.

We were sure Washington was retiring. He said it often enough. We reasoned that Mr Misick wanted to take it easy and stay out of the fray. Away from all those British helpers poking into everyone’s business.

Did I hear about pokes into the 2016 election voter qualifications? Not to change the results only the district vote count.

In my humble outsider opinion, the PNP does need fresh blood but not a transfusion from Dr Rufus.

Net result from the PNP convention - nothing ventured, nothing gained.

THE VIEW FROM EUROPE

The challenge of Decisive and affirmative action developing health tourism Dear Editor, The predictable antagonists have been quick out of the blocks with their criticism of the amnesty bills recently brought to the House of Assembly by the current Government.

None more so than a former premier, who probably did more damage to the reputation of the Turks and Caicos Islands with his antics and alleged corrupt practices than can ever be quantified.

However, I just want to note that I was quite impressed with the debate presented by the Government, in particular the Deputy Premier Sean Astwood, who I think gave a very clear account of the current situation with Beaches and why such action was necessary.

Following the presentation by both he and the premier, there is much more clarity on the matter, and at least on my part, a better understanding of how such an amnesty will benefit all businesses.

As Mr Astwood pointed out during the debate, it was the only “right and moral” thing to do after such a messy situation was allowed to develop in the first place, and then linger on for so many years.

I mean, how on earth could anyone in their right mind apply a rate of 10 percent per month compounded, and in the midst of a dispute allow that to accumulate?

Therefore, the Government had to take decisive action to treat with the matter, and I commend them for having the strength to do so.

On the other hand, I must express my disappointment with the position of former Finance Minister and Leader of the Opposition Washington Misick, under whose purview this

matter first materialised, and who issued a letter of comfort to Beaches, only to take the easy way out now and abstain from voting.

Had the Hon. Mr Misick treated the issue then, it may not have gotten to this embarrassing juncture now.

But that’s history.

What I find quite offensive however, is when I see the Opposition leader’s relative, a former premier, trying to incite this view that the Government has somehow ‘sold out’ to Beaches.

Dear sir, haven’t you done enough damage to our beautiful Islands?

Haven’t you caused us enough embarrassment?

Now you want to go and paint another negative picture in the midst of all that is happening regarding the UK and the overseas territories.

Dear former premier, we find ourselves in an onerous position with the Home Office now because of the fallout you caused, and as the overseas territories seek to take a stand on the issue of governance, the only thing you can do is try to erode the ground from under the feet of the Government?

I am sorry, but the former premier cannot speak from a position of morality or credibility.

I anticipate that the decisive and affirmative action of the current Government has reigned in what was threatening to be a quite destabilising standoff, and I look forward to word that Beaches will remain up and running, but more than that, create more economic activity for the TCI. Yours truly, Frank Solomon, Providenciales

United and strong Dear Editor, Hon. Charles Washington Misick is unequivocally and unambiguously the Leader of the Progressive National Party and Leader of the Opposition in the House of Assembly and he has the numbers to prove it.

At the National Congress convened yesterday to select and not appoint the leader, he beat back the combined effort of his two opponents who attended the congress by a margin of better than two to one.

In horse racing, they would say that Misick won in a canter or won going away.

Have no fear, now the PDM are scared!

I have not seen such unity and unanimity of purpose in the Progressive National Party in a hell of a long time and I have the history

behind me to say so.

When we are as a party, this united, we are like Hannah Town Bakery, just hard to beat!

Democracy is alive and well in our party and those that think that we are not a united front and therefore, a force to be reckoned with, then you have a next guess coming!

From now on in, we will be moving forward until such time as the premier calls the day. You bad, you call it and see what happens.

This is not going to be any wishy washy no pun intended this time.

There might be a sniper from the grassy knoll, but his rifle shot cannot hurt us!

We are PNP. We are united and we are strong!

Royal S Robinson, Former chairman of the PNP

HEALTH tourism is an enormous and highly competitive global business.

Reliable estimates indicate that by 2021 the worldwide health tourism market will reach somewhere between $46.6 billion and $125 billion per annum and is experiencing a compound annual growth rate of somewhere between 13 percent and 19 percent.

In contrast the World Travel and Tourism Council estimates that average growth rates for Caribbean tourism is about 3.8 percent per annum.

Confusingly, however, health tourism as a concept is ill defined.

At one end of the spectrum it involves medical tourism in the form of advanced medical procedures, elective interventions, facilities for convalescence, care homes and sheltered housing for the elderly.

At the other it involves wellness in the form of spas and a range of non-medical ancillary services.

While medical tourism is motivated by a need for treatment, wellness tourism is more proactive and related to improving an individual’s quality of life.

Taken at face value Caribbean nations with good connections by air, advanced medical facilities, and having either the ability to attract well qualified physicians, support staff and therapists, or in the case of Cuba with a surplus of local healthcare professionals, ought to be well placed to capitalise on all aspects of health tourism.

In an indirect indication of this and the potential of the health, medical and wellness services to grow the tourism economy, the Cuban hotel chain Islazul announced recently that it had entered into a health tourism project with Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos Cubanos (SMC), an entity that provides advanced and routine medical services to foreign visitors.

Speaking to the media, Rasiel Tovar, the president of Islazul, said that the 117-property national chain plans to develop its existing and new small hotels close to SMC’s rehabilitation centres.

According to Tovar the group will remodel the services that such hotels offer to support the development of the country’s offshore medical services.

Cuba apart, which is something of a special case, it is possible to identify Cayman and the Turks and Caicos, as having private and publicprivate medical tourism models that work.

For example, Health City Cayman Islands has benefited from having the

support of Narayana Hrudayalaya a profitable global medical group, is associated with a high-profile international medical figure, has a wealthy expatriate and Caymanian domestic market, has good air access from North America and the wider world, has state-of-theart technology, and operates within the regulatory constraints of a UK offshore jurisdiction.

Much the same holds true of the Canadian InterHealth operated TCI Hospital in Providenciales and Grand Turk which provide services to an increasing number of tourists and uninsured patients - typically Haitian migrants who the Government requires it to treat - but has the added advantage of an arrangement whereby Islanders have full access at no cost under the country’s National Health Insurance Plan.

In most of the rest of the region the same confluence of factors does not exist, making the Cayman and Turks and Caicos Islands medical models hard to replicate.

Moreover, some recent Australian and Canadian academic studies suggest that given the size of most Caribbean islands the throughput of visitors may be not be sufficient to keep medical pricing competitive, or to be able to maintain high levels of continuing investment needed to meet international patients’ expectations about surgical interventions using robotics and artificial intelligence.

This suggests that most successful future investments in medical tourism in the Caribbean are likely to be focussed on small specialised private clinics providing limited services such as cosmetic surgery, the replacement of joints, dentistry, in vitro fertilisation, full medical checks, and facilities for convalescence.

Management consultant produced studies indicate that there is a huge and growing US and Latin market for such services and procedures, as well as a unique opportunity with some of the four million or so in the Caribbean Diaspora who might prefer treatment ‘at home’, and a growing demand for recuperation in a warm pleasant environment.

Separately, wellness tourism offers a different but just as

significant economic opportunity.

The not-for-profit Global Wellness Institute estimates that international wellness visitors spent 53 percent more than the average international tourist in 2017, and that primary and secondary wellness spending in Latin America and the Caribbean was $34.8 billion, although the Caribbean did not figure among its top 20 global destinations.

Not well defined ‘wellness’ includes, spas and thermal springs, natural healing, weight loss, treatment for substance abuse, overall health checks, homeopathy, beauty and anti-ageing treatments, yoga and other natural therapies.

Significantly, wellness tourism avoids the health inequity that sophisticated large private medical facilities can cause, does not distort public healthcare systems, or alienate voters or committed public healthcare professionals.

It also has little if any effect on the already alarming deficit in healthcare professionals in some parts of the region caused by recruitment agencies enticing individuals away to work in Europe, North America and other parts of the world.

For this reason, Islazul’s plan to fuse wellness with post-operative and convalescent care, utilising existing and new properties in rural locations is worthy of closer study by both the tourism and the medical sector in the rest of the region.

Its announcement suggests that there are commercial opportunities for clinics and small and medium sized wellness enterprises to begin to work more closely with hotels, to offer facilities better related to the size the Caribbean market.

The Caribbean continues to face a serious challenge as to how it sustains the delivery of free or lowcost high-quality public healthcare.

While wellness tourism and small clinics providing specialist services offer no immediate panacea, they should be seen as important primary and secondary adjuncts to the staple long-stay visitor offerings of beach and sun.

As such they enlarge the region’s tourism profile, increase employment and visitor spend, and ultimately help grow the tax revenues that enable free public healthcare.

The shoe is on the other foot

BY DREXWELL SEYMOUR

POLITICIANS and their supporters have to be very careful what they say or do when they are in Opposition or even in the Government as you never know when the shoe will be worn on the other foot.

In October/November 2016, the PNP administration brought to the House of Assembly a bill to write off $12 million in penalties for Cable and Wireless.

This was related to taxes that Cable and Wireless should have charged their customers for the period June 2010 to May 2014 as a result of a change in law in 2011.

However, management of Cable

and Wireless (including myself, yes I was CEO then) was not aware of the change in law and never charged the customers the taxes and therefore never collected the taxes and so the Government thought it was fitting to waive the penalties as it would have detrimental impact on the company including the employees.

The Opposition (the PDM) at that time claimed they did not have enough information and did not vote or supported the waiver of the $12 million.

In fact, this write off was one of the campaign tactics that the Opposition used during the 2016 campaign.

Supporters of the party spoke strongly against this write off saying

Let’s save our country PART ONE

BY OSWALD SKIPPINGS AS A Turks and Caicos Islands people, we have been drifting hopelessly in the colonial sea of oppression and uncertainty for far too long now.

The clear and present danger looming in the threat of British direct political domination by their physical colonisation, inclusive of them acquiring our electoral franchise, speaks volumes.

It tells us in no uncertain terms that it is high time that we exercise maturity and responsibility and be deliberate and proactive in charting the course of our own destiny by taking positive, calculative measures to take the helm of our ship into our own hands, to navigate our way authoritatively into a desirable, bright and prosperous future.

This is a defining moment! It is therefore imperative that our political directorate understands the urgency of this critical moment.

This moment echoes a clarion call for a conscious awakening that results in national mobilisation of a people, which in turn translates into the uttermost level of unity, foresight and patriotism that was not heretofore seen among us as a people If this inevitable achievement of self-determination is to be successfully realised, we need all the conscious, daring, visionary and patriotic hands on deck.

This is the most humongous step that any people may take and it must not be taken without careful thought and planning, knowing exactly what self-determination really demands financially, diplomatically and especially militarily as it relates to daily internal and external security in our case, where we have such an egregious, illegal immigration invasion problem of a people who are historically known for insurrection and dismantling of governmental authority.

Oswald Skippings

While it is obvious that we are now being driven into becoming an independent state, in order to preserve our cultural, spiritual and heritage identity, prevent the total dismantling of our cherished indigeneity and fully gain our political dominance, we must exercise prudence and caution and not impulsively rush into independence without ensuring that the necessary safeguards such as internal and external security are first put into place.

This so that we may be able to secure our independent status and it would not be yanked out of our hands by seasoned, overzealous, over ambitious militant insurrectionists.

One option that should be instantly explored is the development of a joint security agreement with some other more advanced nation at least until such time as we may build our own security forces to an appreciable standard.

This current threat to the TCI that is being so vehemently promoted and demanded by committee members of the British parliament is to legalise same sex marriage and not only provide British residents in the TCI with the right to vote, but empower them to run for political office which could allow them to totally and legitimately take over the TCI Government.

This recommendation is being made even to the point of urging the British prime minister to issue an order in council to achieve their goal to impose their desires on the overseas territories inclusive of invading them.

This radical proposed initiative is putting added pressure on an already

pressured prime minister who is besieged by seemingly insurmountable challenges with the Brexit issue.

While an exit from Brexit would satisfy the prime minister in that it would stem the tide of Europeans from entering the UK, taking up residence, jobs and social benefits and voting, it would also prevent the British from those reciprocal privileges throughout the length and breadth of Europe.

However, with the accomplishments of invading the TCI and other overseas territories, the British would regain those privileges in a pleasant, tropical climate with sandy white beaches and turquoise pristine waters, as well as having the privilege of exploiting the numerous business opportunities and jobs; and to top it off, embrace the powerful privilege of holding sovereign political offices.

This may prove enticing to the British prime minister and provide her with an extremely palatable bone of appeasement and a diversion for her critics on the Brexit issue.

It should be noted that this highhanded, despotic approach by British parliamentarians is not just in defiance of its obligations under article 73 of the United Nations Charter that promotes decolonisation, but in fact it’s a total reversal.

Little wonder the British refuse to even attend meetings of the committee of 24 that deals with decolonisation when the TCI is being discussed.

We cannot afford to take this threat slightly as a usual British cry, because it’s not. In fact, they would very much like for us to take that approach so that it makes it so much easier for them to dump it in our unsuspecting, complacent laps.

We must react and react resolutely and forcibly from every possible angle available to us.

Our very future sovereignty and survival as an indigenous people are at stake here and we must realise that and do whatever we can to thwart it.

write off penalties of $85 mllion for hotels and restaurants.

This time the PNP voted against the bill like the PDM did in 2012.

The people that openly spoke against the $12 million write off in 2016 are now very quiet with the $85 mllion and it is only because their party is in power.

The PNP supporters on the other hand are crying shame on this write off. Aren’t these actions of hypocrisy by both PNP and PDM?

BEACHES I supported the write off for Cable and Wireless because it never collected the taxes from customers.

Likewise, I will support a write off for the Hotels and Restaurants penalties especially if the hotels did not collect the taxes from guests.

I also think the penalty calculations are excessive and a write off should take place.

However, in the HOA, the premier said that Beaches claimed they were told they only had to pay 60 percent of the accommodation tax.

This is an alarming concern as the TCIG is saying there is no evidence of any agreement.

Now some supporters of this Government are trying to turn this around and casting blame on Hon. Washington Misick.

We are hypocrites.

There is letter circulating around on Facebook by John Brown. How did John Brown get a copy of the Ministry of Finance letter?

This letter was in 2013 when the Government made changes to the tax platform by charging guests 12 percent on all services they receive during their time in the TCI. Hon. Misick stated that the revenue commissioner informed him that Beaches is paying 60 percent based on the development agreement.

How could Hon. Misick be blamed when the development agreement was signed during the

Taylor administration unless another development agreement were made during Mike Misick administration?

I spoke to Hon. Derek prior to publishing this article and he is not aware of any arrangements of Beaches only paying 60 percent.

I also contacted Hon. Mike Misick and his administration never agreed to Beaches only paying 60 percent of the taxes.

I believe what both of the former leaders told me unless Beaches can show us something in writing.

How could an establishment collect taxes on behalf of TCIG and only payout 60 percent? How could an establishment operate without such a written agreement?

Was Beaches only charging the guests 7.2 percent (which is 60 percent of 12 percent) or were they charging the full 12 percent?

The law of the country is 12 percent and that is public knowledge and no agreement should supersede the laws of TCIG. I feel horrible about the fact that many other businesses especially the small ones paid excessive penalties in 2018 and early 2019 and there was no amnesty for them (at least I am not aware of any).

Some of these businesses had to borrow funds to pay for the penalties and now we have major hotels such as Beaches being waived of the penalties.

Is it possible for TCIG to reimburse the businesses that paid the excess penalties in the last two years?

I know it is a tough decision for any Government to come to the people and tell them they are writing off $85 million in outstanding penalties.

Therefore, political parties must be cautious what they say or do when in Opposition as you never know what shoe you will have to wear once you become the Government.

I am quite sure when Beaches was referring to the 60 percent, they were talking about the 60 percent service charges that were entitled to pay employees.

Why go solar?

instrument to support small islands in adapting to the consequences of climate change consists in investing in the development and establishment of an efficient renewable energy infrastructure.

“These kinds of investments can not only increase resilience, but also promote synergy and strengthen regional cooperation.

“In the Caribbean region, solar power is advantageous not only because of its abundant sunlight but also because solar has seen a tremendous drop in installation prices and ongoing maintenance costs.”

Scientist promoted to head local study of health risks THE TCI’s new national epidemiologist is “delighted and eager” to make a meaningful contribution to development of the territory.

In her role, Dr Shandey Malcolm will be heading the Government’s National Epidemiology and Research Unit (NERU).

She will be responsible for developing and planning research programmes to ensure the collection, analysis and interpretation of data about health effects and risks in the TCI. In a press release on Monday (March 4) Dr Malcolm said that having worked in the department for about seven years, she is passionate about its growth and success.

“NERU has the very important role of providing evidence for decision making regarding health.

“It is indeed an honour and a privilege to be able to use my knowledge, skills and professional experience to contribute to the achievement of this mandate.

“From the moment that I began

my college career it was my dream to make a meaningful contribution to development of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Dr Malcolm joined the civil service in 2013 as the deputy national epidemiologist of the NERU where she helped to manage the surveillance, research and data management/analysis activities of the department.

She holds an Associate of Science degree from the Barbados Community College, a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Miami, a Masters of Public Health in epidemiology and biostatistics from the University of South Florida and a Doctor of Philosophy in epidemiology from the University of Miami.

Her professional experience includes a brief stint as a medical technologist at the Grand Turk Hospital laboratory and an epidemiology internship at the Florida Department of Health.

During the pursuit of her doctoral degree, Dr Malcolm

Bank donates $15k to cancer charity THE TCI’s National Cancer Society has received a $15,000 donation from CIBC FirstCaribbean’s 2018 ‘Walk for the cure’ campaign.

A cheque was presented to charity president Rosemary Jolly on Tuesday (March 5) during a brief ceremony at the bank’s Grace Bay branch.

Larry Lawrence, CIBC FirstCaribbean (TCI) country head, said the donation was the culmination of the efforts of employees, customers and generous members of the TCI community “who saw fit to donate to such a worthwhile cause”.

“Thus, we are proud to present the National Cancer Society of TCI with a $15,000 donation to support the invaluable role they play in the fight against cancer.

“The work they do is immeasurable, and our donation is but a small contribution to the long-term victory that waits for everyone that has ever been directly or indirectly affected by cancer.”

The fundraising drive is the region’s largest and last year raised more than $500,000 in support of cancer treatment and awareness throughout the Caribbean.

Fundraising efforts included

initiatives like ‘Jeans for the cure’ where bank employees paid a donation fee to wear jeans to work every Friday.

During ‘Bake for the cure’ bank staff hosted multiple bake sales leading up to the big event, and at ‘Change for a cause’ coin collection bottles were placed in CIBC FirstCaribbean branches across TCI. “As the 2019 ‘Walk for the cure’ steadily approaches, CIBC FirstCaribbean is ready to work even harder,” Lawrence said, “and invites our customers and supporters to do the same so that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the people in our community.”

Sponsors that helped in the 2018 ‘Walk for the cure’ campaign included KB Home Centre, Projetech, Turks and Caicos Banking Company, FortisTCI, Olympic Construction, FamilyChoice Pharmacy, Bordier Bank, Miller Simons O’Sullivan and Engineering Design Services.

The ‘Walk for the cure’ campaign was launched by CIBC FirstCaribbean in 2012.

Since then the bank has raised close to $60,000 in the TCI and more than $1.3 million across the Caribbean.

Pop-up spay and neuter clinic completes 90 surgeries IN JUST the first animal clinic of 2019 the TCSPCA has completed 90 surgeries, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Dr Larry Reed.

In February, Dr Reed, a long time veterinarian with Turks and Caicos Veterinary Associates, once again volunteered his down time from that clinic to help out at the TCSPCA. Over the course of a few afternoons and a weekend, Dr Reed performed spay or neuter surgeries on 53 owned pets and 37 feral cats that were trapped, ‘fixed’ and released back into their neighbourhoods.

“That’s a whopping total of 90 animals that will not be producing unwanted litters ever again.

“To say that Dr Larry is a superhero to the TCSPCA gang is a huge understatement,” said director Susan Blehr.

Blehr and her cadre of dedicated volunteers ensured a steady stream of animals to the surgical suite, handled paperwork, ferried animals to and from the clinic, and cleaned up “positively silly quantities” of pee and poop.

She said the TCSPCA functions so well for so many reasons, one of which is the help they receive from local businesses and residents of the TCI. The organisation continues its more than two decades of work and dedication to providing a voice for all the animals of the TCI. Anyone who would like to help them continue this important work can donate money via PayPal at donation@tcspca.tc or drop off dog or cat food to feed the animals in care in the TCSPCA runs at partner Pampered Paws or in TCSPCA foster homes.

Cheshire Hall Plantation gifted with new admin building

BY DELANA ISLES BUILDING Materials Do it Centre and Definitive Design company have handed over a beautiful, traditionally styled thatched roof hut to the TCI National Trust.

The new structure now serves as the administrative building and gift shop at the Cheshire Hall Plantation in Providenciales.

Accepting the generous donation from siblings Ken and Kier Adams of Building Materials were several members of the National Trust last Friday, March 1.

Ethlyn Gibbs Williams, executive director of the National Trust, expressed her gratitude for the new facilities, stating: “Building Materials Do it Centre delivered the hut as promised to the National Trust, and even though it is a small hut it will play a very significant role in our programme at the Cheshire Hall historic site.”

The donation, Williams said, became necessary following the immense damage their old facilities

suffered in hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.

“We were trying to see how we could get the programme back up after the storms, and I just happened to be at Building Materials one day and I saw Mr Ken Adams and I mentioned it to him and he said ‘Yes, that’s great’.”

Adams, who was also a member of the Trust Council, was happy to help the organisation with a new building.

“I think they did a splendid job, kudos to them,” the director said The old building, which is still situated adjacent to the colourful new hut, is expected to undergo repairs by the Government, following which workers will again have the full use of it.

This is expected to be done before the end of the current financial year, March 31.

In brief comments on the donation, Ken Adams said: “This was a plan of ours through conversation with me and Mrs Gibbs for a while.

“After the hurricanes they suffered

Ken and Kier Adams of Building Materials Do it Centre (right) share a moment with members of the TCI National Trust

a lot of damages here on the site and leakages in the administrative building, and as we already had such a good relationship and I was a member of the Trust Council, I decided to give Ms Gibbs and the trust a helping hand by donating this building.”

Ken thanked his sister, who designed the building, for the amazing job she did.

“She did a really good job. The building speaks to our cultural heritage and architecture, like the thatch roof, some of the colours that were used, and the white wash finish. That speaks a lot about our

Gov’t advises daily salt intake of under five grams THIS week the Government has advised the public to cut their salt intake to ward off preventable diseases.

The warning comes as the world celebrates ‘Salt Awareness Week’ from March 4 to 10, hosted by World Action on Salt and Health.

The event is geared towards raising awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt which can affect the kidney, arteries, heart and brain.

One of the health problems that excess salt intake can cause is strokes, the Health Promotion and Advocacy Unit said in a statement on Monday (March 4).

A stroke is when part of the blood supply to the brain is cut off.

This then stops the flow of crucial nutrients and oxygen to the brain.

There are two main types of stroke: a blockage in a blood vessel,

called an ischaemic stroke, and a bleed due to blood vessels bursting, called a haemorrhagic stroke.

The effect of a stroke can be very sudden and serious.

To prevent strokes or other conditions that arise from high salt intake, the key is to cut down on processed food, which contains about 75 percent of the salt each person eats within it.

“Practice checking labels of products such as bread, cereal, soup, sauces and meat products and choose lower salt options,” the statement said.

“Don’t add salt when cooking or at the table; use more herbs to season your food. Some foods may taste bland at first but, it will only take a couple of weeks for you to adjust.”

Adults should be active for 30 minutes, five times a week. An easy way to achieve this is to get off the

bus or train a stop earlier and walk into work.

The unit also advised all residents to have regular blood pressure checks to monitor their progress.

“For a healthy diet, eat less than five grams of salt per day, equivalent to 2,000 milligrams of sodium.

“High blood pressure or hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease and is the leading risk for death in the world.”

Cutting out table salt and eating fewer pre-prepared foods high in salt will help keep health levels high.

Anyone over the age of 45, of African descent or who has diabetes, hypertension, kidney or heart disease, has higher risk from high dietary salt than others.

More information is available from the Health Promotion and Advocacy Unit on 338-2772.

traditional buildings.

“We’re all happy that they are finally comfortable in a brand new administrative building.”

Kier Adams, who works in the Purchasing and Customer Service Departments at Do it Centre, elaborated further on the style of the building.

She said she wanted to incorporate local architecture and the TCI’s roots into the building - showcasing the very simple way in which buildings were constructed back in the day.

“Using a wood finish…with wood from wrecked ships and the like, I really wanted to touch on that, and the thatch roof which we see in a lot of our older and even in our modern cultural design for beach huts.

‘I just wanted the project to speak to our traditional vernacular, and our way of building with wood.”

The building is a 12 by 12 feet hut, brightly coloured with windows on all four sides and open rafter ceilings to let in the Caribbean breeze.

Meanwhile, in about a month, the National Trust is expected to open another craft outlet at Heaving Down Rock.

The organisation’s executive director said that this is another donation from a corporate citizen Windward Development.

They have constructed an office and a gazebo at the location to showcase local arts and crafts, and workers are expected to move into the new facility shortly.

Hyatt teams up with Sailrock Resort MEMBERS of Hyatt Hotels’ loyalty programme can now book vacation stays as well as earn and redeem points in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“This important alliance helps to let more of the world learn of an exceptional property in a secluded part of the Caribbean, yet so easily accessible from the US mainland,” Ali said.

Hyatt and SLH recently teamed up to form an unprecedented union, offering World of Hyatt members the opportunity to earn and redeem points and receive exclusive onproperty benefits at participating SLH hotels.

Benefits at Sailrock include complimentary breakfast, complimentary wifi, early check-in (based on availability), late check-out (subject to availability), and a one category room upgrade (based on availability at check-in).

Students take part in the dance competition

Youth Explosion celebrates TCI’s talent and creativity STUDENTS across the territory came out of their classrooms for a day to show off their talents and creativity.

The Youth Explosion 2019 showcase was hosted on Friday, March 1, at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex in Providenciales.

Featured in the four hour event were presentations of spoken word poetry and a dance competition among high school students.

The collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and the Tourist Board was based on the theme ‘Tourism is key. It starts with me’.

E Blythe Clare, training manager at the Tourist Board and coordinator of Youth Explosion, said: “Every year Youth Explosion continues to receive tremendous support from the high schools and the event has grown bigger each year.

“As always, the competitions

were stiff and we appreciate the hard work of the students to prepare for the event.”

This year’s event saw the addition of a Plastic Bag Ban Mascot Competition sponsored by the Office of the Premier.

The competition was launched in December 2018 and yielded submissions from several public and private high schools throughout the Islands.

The aim was to promote the ban on single use plastic and Styrofoam, no littering, as well as ocean preservation.

Clare said: “We challenged the schools to design an original character inspired by the Turks and Caicos Islands and we were very impressed by all of the mascots and the creativity displayed.”

The following winners emerged during the day: Best spoken word poetry piece was won by the

Raymond Gardiner High School with a poem titled ‘The key’.

Clement Howell High School took home the top prize in the dance competition with a performance entitled ‘Colours of the Islands’ and won top prize in the Plastic Bag Ban Mascot Competition.

The mascot was designed by the school’s Tourism Club and depicts a pelican mascot called TACEP (Turks and Caicos Environmental Pelican).

The high-spirited event, which featured appearances by the TCI Doll mascots and performance by the Ianthe Pratt Primary School, concluded with an awards ceremony.

The Raymond Gardiner High School and Clement Howell High School each received plaques, while CHHS Tourism Club received an additional bonus as winners of the Plastic Bag Ban Mascot Competition of a $2,500 prize.

Help, I have acne!

ACNE is one of the biggest nuisances in existence. Pimples, zits, bumps or spots, are some of the names it is commonly known as.

Usually, it rears its ugly head during puberty because of the increase in the production of the androgen hormone.

This hormone is often responsible for skin glands producing more oil than necessary. When this oil is trapped in the skin, acne forms.

From personal experience, I know how embarrassing having acne is. No one wants the first thing someone notices about them to be the spots all over their face or other parts of their body.

While I believe that what’s on the inside matters more than your physical appearance, I also believe that looking good helps you to be your very best self.

Since my period of adolescence has ended, I have been delivered of acne’s woes. Of course, the occasional bump appears every now and then, but acne has left me alone for the most part.

I’m going to share with you how I managed to control my acne outbreaks. Hopefully, what I did works for you as well.

START A FACIAL ROUTINE Find the products that work best for you and stick with them.

Winner of the Plastic Bag Ban Mascot Competition made by the Clement Howell High School tourism club

DRINK MORE H2O Up to 60 percent of the human adult body is water. Many of the functions that occur within your body require that you drink

adequate amount of water to be carried out properly.

Drinking water helps your skin stay moisturised and cleanse its cells of waste.

QUIT PICKING AT YOUR FACE When you pick at the acne on your face, you introduce more bacteria to the inflamed spots and make the acne even worse.

Leave the pimples alone and let them come to a head on their own.

If you feel that you must pop it, dab a little toothpaste on the zit and wait a bit for the pus to appear.

Wash your hands thoroughly then squeeze the pimple. Use a cotton pad or piece of tissue to apply toner or astringent to the area.

CHANGE YOUR PILLOWCASE, HAIR BONNET AND TOWELS You should wash your pillowcase, bonnet and towels at least once a week.

Lots of bacteria form in these places. They aren’t going anywhere unless you throw your garments in the washing machine.

The longer you leave these items soiled, the more bacteria will multiply and take residence on your face and body.

If you attempt to get rid of acne on your own using my tips and those of others but nothing seems to be working, seek the help of a dermatologist.

The cost of an appointment may be costly, but the health of your skin is worth it.

EU considers Bermuda for blacklist BERMUDA has been added to a draft tax haven blacklist by the European Union, along with nine other jurisdictions, according to Reuters.

The news agency said it had been told by an EU official that the island, together with the United Arab Emirates, Oman and other Caribbean and Pacific islands, are included on a draft list that will go before EU envoys today.

It is up to the envoys to agree the new list, which will then be formally adopted by EU finance ministers in a meeting on March 12, according to Reuters.

Last night, David Burt, the Premier, said the island’s Economic Substance Act and regulations meet the requirements of the EU, and that Bermuda “should properly be omitted from any list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions”.

The Premier said technical officers and ministers are in daily

contact with officials in Brussels, and representatives of key member states, to ensure “that it is clear Bermuda has met the requisite standard”.

He said: “This has been a difficult process, but I am confident that a fair examination of Bermuda’s legislation in this area of economic substance will clearly show that we have complied with the standard required of us and we should properly be omitted from any list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions.

“It is important to recognise that no decisions have yet been made.

“We look forward to implementing the new substance regime in Bermuda.”

Reuters reported that the official it had spoken with said the EU is still considering whether Bermuda and the UAE will be added to the list.

UK government pulls Brexit bill debate over beneficial ownership THE United Kingdom government pulled a parliamentary debate on a piece of financial services legislation on Monday after Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man warned against an amendment to the bill that would force the introduction of public beneficial ownership registries in the Crown dependencies.

In a joint statement last week, the chief ministers of the three dependencies echoed objections raised by the Cayman Islands and other overseas territories over a similar amendment to the U.K. Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill in 2018.

“We are not represented in the U.K. Parliament, and it is a respected constitutional position that the U.K. does not legislate for the Crown Dependencies on domestic matters without our consent,” the statement noted.

The Crown dependency leaders also said they consider the legislation “to be wholly unnecessary in the context of our robust existing approach to the retention and sharing of beneficial ownership information,” which exceeded the standards and accuracy of the existing U.K. public register of company owners.

The cross-party amendment to the Financial Services Bill is endorsed by 55 members of parliament, including a host of prominent Tory backbenchers. Although it is not

supported by the U.K. government, it is deemed likely to pass, if voted on.

The amendment also aims to bring the deadline for the establishment of public registers in the overseas territories back to the original date of 2020.

In April 2018, the House of Commons unanimously approved an amendment to the U.K. Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act directing the U.K. government to issue an Order in Council if the deadline is not met.

This highly contentious move attracted much criticism in the overseas territories, where the attempt by the House of Commons to legislate for the territories in a devolved matter was widely regarded as extreme, and reminiscent of colonial times.

In December of last year, overseas territories representatives negotiated with the Foreign Office an extension of the timeline to 2023, to the dismay of U.K. lawmakers.

Tory MP Andrew Mitchell on Monday said the U.K. government’s intention to arbitrarily extend that date by no less than three years to 2023 was in flagrant breach of what was agreed by Parliament.

Even the 2020 deadline was late and had only been agreed to because of the effect of hurricanes on some of the territories at the time, he said.

Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who

together with Mr. Mitchell authored both amendments, said taking the debate of the bill off the order paper was “a blatant, deliberate and arrogant snub of this Parliament.”

The amendment “would not just have extended public registers to Crown dependencies but would have reiterated the point over overseas territories,” she said in the House of Commons.

“We were so angered by the action of the Foreign Office that we wanted to reiterate the decision of Parliament, which was passed unanimously, in the amendment that we were proposing today.

That opportunity to reiterate has been removed as well.”

She urged the speaker of the house to outline what he can do “to ensure that government does what Parliament tells it to do in legislation.”

House Speaker John Bercow said he had no advance notice of what was “a most unusual turn of events.”

“It is a rum business,” he said, “that all of a sudden this business which was scheduled for today has been evacuated from Parliament, it has been airlifted from the premises, it has suffered a mysterious and hitherto unexplained disappearance.”

The move by government was “at, the very least, discourteous to the members of Parliament,” he said, adding that he had certainly intended to select the amendment for debate.

PAHO calls on regional countries to prepare for possible dengue outbreaks Haiti has been rocked by weeks of anti-government protests that have left at least seven dead.

UN chief says Haiti police mission should close as planned UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is recommending that a UN police force deployed in Haiti end its mission in October as planned, despite weeks of violent protests, according to a report seen by AFP on Wednesday.

The UN force known as MINUJUSTH should be replaced by a small political mission based in Port-au-Prince, said the report sent to the Security Council on Friday.

“Drawing upon lessons from previous transitions in Haiti and other country contexts, I recommend that the implementation of the MINUJUSTH mandate be gradually phased out during the last six months,” said the report.

The mission’s five police units will hand over all security responsiblities

to the national police and that there be a “seamless passage to a special political mission,” it added.

With almost 1,000 police and 325 civilians, MINUJUSTH replaced the full-fledged MINUSTAH peacekeeping mission, which was sent after the devastating 2010 earthquake.

That mission shut down in 2017, ending an operation that fell out of favor with Haitians after infected UN peacekeepers from Nepal introduced cholera.

Haiti has been rocked by three weeks of violent anti-government protests. At least seven people have been killed during clashes with police.

The Security Council is due to discuss the report on Friday.

THE Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has called for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to prepare for a timely response to possible outbreaks of dengue.

The disease is endemic in the region and, since its reintroduction in the 1980s, has caused cyclical outbreaks and epidemics every three to five years.The first dengue epidemic with over one million cases occurred in the Americas in 2010.

Three years later, in 2013, the first epidemic with more than two million cases occurred. At the beginning of 2019, there was an increase in cases compared to the same period of 2018, PAHO said.

“Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that is widespread in the Americas,” said Dr Marcos Espinal, Director of the Department of Communicable Diseases and Environmental Determinants of Health. “Its complexity has been increasing over the years due to several factors such as unplanned urban growth, water and sanitation problems, climate

change, and, in some countries, the simultaneous circulation of all four types of dengue, which increases the risk of serious cases and outbreaks.”

According to PAHO’s latest epidemiological update on dengue, published on February 22, 560,586 cases of dengue were reported in the Americas last year, including 3535 severe cases of dengue and 336 deaths.

During the first six weeks of 2019, almost 100,000 cases of dengue were reported, including 632 cases of severe dengue and 28 deaths.

The main recommendations from PAHO focus on countries

intensifying disease surveillance, as well as vector control measures to reduce mosquito populations that transmit the disease. Currently, the only way to control or prevent the transmission of the virus is the fight against Aedes aegypti, the main mosquito vector.

PAHO also recommends continuing to educate the population, as well as community involvement initiatives. PAHO also requests that countries ensure that health professionals are trained in the diagnosis of dengue and other arboviruses, as well as in the adequate management of patients with these diseases. PAHO provides technical cooperation to prevent and control the disease.

Dr Espinal explained that the timely diagnosis of the disease has become more complex with the arrival of two new arboviruses: the Chikungunya virus in 2013 and the Zika virus in 2015, which present similar symptomatology. However, despite the introduction of these new arboviruses, dengue is the one that presents the highest number of diseases.

‘Difficult’ Brexit talks see no breakthrough, European Commission says BREXIT negotiations “have been difficult” and “no solution has been identified” to the Irish backstop, the European Commission has said.

It comes after the latest talks between UK ministers and EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels.

Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said the talks had taken place in a “constructive atmosphere” but there had been no breakthrough.

The UK is pushing for legallybinding changes to the EU deal.

Mr Schinas was speaking after Mr Barnier briefed the European Commission’s weekly meeting on the state of Brexit talks.

Speaking after talks with Mr Barnier, the UK’s Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said: “Both sides have exchanged robust, strong views. We’re now facing the real discussions. Talks will be resuming soon.”

He added: “We’re into the meat of the matter, we’ve put forward very reasonable proposals.”

Downing Street echoed Mr Barnier’s characterisation of the talks as “difficult”, but said the

Martha McSally (L) and Senator Joni Ernst, who recently said she was raped in college.

Michel Barnier is leading Brexit talks on behalf of the European Commission.

negotiations were “ongoing”.

“The EU continues to say that it wants this to be resolved and that it wants the UK to leave with a deal.

Parliament has been clear that for this to happen, we require legallybinding changes which mean that the UK can’t be trapped in the backstop indefinitely,” said the PM’s official spokesman.

“That is what we will continue to pursue.”

The backstop is an insurance policy - designed to avoid a hard

border “under all circumstances” between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

Prime Minister Theresa May is pinning her hopes on getting changes to it that will prevent the UK from being tied to EU customs rules if no permanent trade deal is agreed after Brexit.

She believes this would be enough to get MPs - who last month rejected her deal by an historic margin to back her deal in a vote she has promised on or before 12 March.

Father found guilty of plotting acid attack on 3-year-old son A FATHER has been found guilty and sentenced to 16 years in prison for plotting an acid attack on his 3-year-old son amid a custody battle with his ex-wife.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted unanimously by a jury Wednesday at Worcester Crown Court in the UK following a six-week trial, the court confirmed to CNN. The jury, which deliberated for nine hours, convicted the man and five co-conspirators of plotting to spray sulfuric acid in the child’s face with the intention to “burn, maim or disfigure.”

Jurors were told that the father, 40, a taxi driver from Wolverhampton, central England, but originally from Afghanistan, enlisted the help of his co-conspirators in order to attack his son in a bid to gain increased custody by depicting the child’s mother as incapable of providing adequate care, the UK’s Press Association agency reported.

The man’s wife left him in 2016, taking their three children with her, the court was told.

Jonathan Rees QC, prosecuting, said the father was the “driving force” behind the July 2018 attack, and described his victim as “defenseless.”

“This case concerns a cowardly

US senator says she was raped

by Air Force superior officer A US senator has revealed that she was raped by a superior officer while serving in the Air Force.

Senator Martha McSally, who was the first female US fighter pilot to fly in combat, was speaking at a hearing on sex assaults in the military.

The Arizona Republican said she did not report the rape as she felt ashamed and confused, and distrusted the system.

In 2017 almost 6,800 sexual assaults were reported across the US military, a 10% rise on the previous year.

Ms McSally, 52, was speaking on Wednesday during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services subcommittee featuring victims of sexual assault.

“Like you, I also am a military

sexual assault survivor, but unlike so many brave survivors, I didn’t report being sexually assaulted. Like so many women and men, I didn’t trust the system at the time,” she said.

“I blamed myself. I was ashamed and confused,” she added. “The perpetrators abused their position of power in profound ways. In one case I was preyed upon and raped by a superior officer.”

Years later, Ms McSally said, she tried to share her experiences with senior officers but met with “wholly inadequate responses”.

“I almost separated from the Air Force at 18 years of service over my despair. Like many victims, I felt like the system was raping me all over again.”

Trump’s plan to reduce trade deficit falters as it hits an all-time high instead

Police released security camera images of suspects in the acid attack on the 3-year-old boy in July 2018.

attack on a defenseless 3-year-old boy in which he was squirted with a solution of sulfuric acid,” he said.

“At the time of the attack, the little boy was with his mother and his older brother and sister. The family had been shopping for a birthday

present.”

The victim’s mother said in a statement that she found it “extremely hard to accept” that her child had been attacked in such a way by his father, but expressed joy over the verdict.

PRESIDENT Donald Trump’s America First policies are not having their intended effect.

The Commerce Department reported Wednesday the U.S. posted a more than $891 billion merchandise trade deficit last year—the largest in the history of the country.

Significantly, the trade deficit with China hit a record $419 billion, despite a series of tariffs the administration imposed on Chinese goods to decrease reliance on imports.

Meanwhile, the overall goods and services deficit jumped 19% between November and December 2018, to $59.8 billion, the highest monthly trade deficit in 10 years.

The data shows that Trump’s America First policies to close the trade gap haven’t had their desired effect. Americans are importing far more from abroad than they are exporting—imports grew 7.5% while exports increased

only 6.3%.

What’s more, Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut enacted in late 2017 served to further fuel the deficit. The government had to borrow to pay for the cut, and some of those dollars came from foreign investors.

Simultaneously, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times last year to offset fears of an overheating economy, thereby increasing the strength of the dollar and encouraging purchase of relatively inexpensive foreign goods.

This is the third consecutive year of increasing trade deficits, topping the previous record in 2006. But while that might be of concern for Trump, many economists disagree with his emphasis on reducing the deficit.

They suggest such deficits are not a reflection of American trading relationships, but rather simply a reflection of a variety of economic forces. (Fortune.com)

Entertainment Trebek tells ‘Jeopardy!’ fans of advanced pancreatic cancer: ‘I’m going to fight this’

Prior to being arrest, R. Kelly had a very emotional interview with Gayle King, which was aired on CBS This Morning.

R. Kelly arrested after failing to pay $161K in child support R. KELLY has been arrested again, this time over unpaid child support payments.

The 52-year-old R&B singer was taken into custody after Wednesday’s hearing for failing to pay ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, more than $161,000 in back child support by today’s court mandated deadline. The Kellys finalised their divorce in 2009 after 13 years of marriage. They share three children: 20-year-old Joann, otherwise known as Buku Abi; Jay, 18; and Robert Jr., who is 16.

According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Sam Charles, Kelly will have to pay $161,663 to be released from

jail. Kelly came to court purportedly prepared to set up a payment plan.

Yahoo Entertainment reached out to Kelly’s attorney for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Kelly’s arrest comes nearly two weeks after he was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault involving four alleged victims. Prosecutors say three of the four women were underage during the incidents stemming from 1998 to 2010. If convicted, Kelly faces a maximum of three to seven years in prison on each charge. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Convicted in 2014 for murder, Kartel was ordered to serve 35 years before he is eligible for parole.

Jamaica: Vybz Kartel returns to prison after hospital treatment INCARCERATED dancehall star Vybz Kartel has returned to prison following a visit to the hospital this week to receive treatment for a health condition.

This after news broke earlier this week that the ‘World Boss’ had been rushed to the University Hospital of the West Indies for treatment.

Kartel, however, despite earlier

reports, has not been hospitalised and his condition is not considered life-threatening.

“He has a condition and he wasn’t feeling well. He was not admitted.

It’s not serious,” Valerie NeitaRobertson, attorney of the dancehall phenom told The Gleaner, adding that he will be escorted back to prison later this afternoon.

LONGTIME “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek announced he has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, in a video posted to YouTube.

The 78-year-old has hosted the popular game show since 1984, USA Today reported.

In the video, Trebek said he made the public statement as part of his “longtime policy of being open and transparent with (the) Jeopardy! fan base.”

“This week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working. And with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease.”

He is using that pact to motivate a recovery.

“Under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy! for three more years! So help me. Keep the faith and we’ll win. We’ll get it done. Thank you,” Trebek said in the video.

During his career, where he has

The 78-year-old has hosted the popular game show since 1984.

hosted a Guinness World Record number of episodes of the quiz show (close to 8,000), Trebek has been honored with five Daytime Emmy awards for Outstanding Game Show Host, and “a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences,” according to his bio on Jeopardy’s website. The Canadian from Sudbury, Ontario has also been enshrined in multiple halls of fame and received a Peabody Award.

Trebek and his wife Jean have

two adult children — Emily and Matthew, according to Jeopardy’s website.

“If anyone can beat this it’s Alex,” Sony Pictures Television chairman Mike Hopkins said in a statement,CNN reported. “He has our full support as he tackles this challenge head-on.”

A stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis means the cancer has spread, according to Healthline. “You can’t cure the cancer at this point, but you still have treatment options.”

Jackson’s music dropped by radio stations in New Zealand, Canada following HBO documentary RADIO stations in New Zealand and Canada have dropped Michael Jackson from their playlists, following new accusations of abuse by the late pop star in the documentary “Leaving Neverland.”

In the two-part film, which began airing on HBO on Sunday, Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuse the singer of sexually abusing them over a period of several years when they were children. Jackson’s estate has pushed back against the film, calling it a “public lynching,”and is suing HBO, which shares a parent company with CNN, Warner Media.

While some fans have taken to the singer’s defense on social media, others have expressed support for his alleged victims, and have discussed feeling uncomfortable about listening to Jackson’s music in the wake of the allegations.

In New Zealand, multiple major radio stations have pulled Jackson’s music from their airwaves, including commercial broadcaster MediaWorks.

“Michael Jackson isn’t currently on any MediaWorks Radio stations’ playlists,” Leon Wratt, the company’s director for radio, said in a statement. “This is a reflection of our audiences and their preferences -- it is our job to ensure our radio

stations are playing the music people want to hear.”

Rival broadcaster NZME also will not be playing the late pop star’s music. “NZME station playlists change from week to week and right now Michael Jackson does not feature on them,”

NZME entertainment director Dean Buchanan told the New Zealand Herald, which is owned by NZME A spokesman for Radio NZ, a publicly-funded broadcaster, said it would only play Jackson if it was “part of a news story or to provide color around a commentary piece.”

Bernadin wants to get better after breaking national 1500M and 3000M records REBECCA Bernadin is looking to become more competitive in the 3000M as she eyes medals in her upcoming meets.

The 18-year-old, who broke her national 1500M record and set a new record in the 3000M when she competed in Jamaica last week, told the Weekly News that her goal is to continue improving.

“I’m so proud of myself.

Cause it’s my first year in Jamaica and I’m doing very well. I just want to thank God for giving me strength, and I just have to continue working hard, cause it has to pay off.”

Running at Boys and Girls Central Championships last week, Bernadin clocked 4:50.21 in the 1500M, over four seconds faster than her 4:54.54 PB which she attained at the Wint McKenly Track and Field Classics in January.

The Jago High School student had erased Beatrice Delancy’s Commonwealth Games run, which was done in Edmonton, Canada in 1978.

The teen lowered the national record by over 12 seconds, since Delancy had ran 5:06.60.

In the 3000M, she broke Shanrika Williams’s 2007 CARIFTA Games record of 10.59.56, with a time 10:49.36 which was over 10 seconds faster. Prior to her 3000M run, her previous best in the event

was 11.22.91, which she had run at the Jamalco Developmental Meet, on February 2.

She placed third in the 1500M and fourth for the 3000M.

Rebecca Bernadin has been outstanding this season.

Blain scored four goals and made two assists, while Rivers added three goals and Sean Mcgurk two and an assist.

Tristan Grandsire, who levelled the game in the sixth minute of play, led the Greyhounds with two goals.

In the other Midget clash, group leaders, the Villa del Mar Flyers were held to a 6-6 draw by the Gansevoort Gators.

The Flyers, who had won seven games to go with three draws and a loss prior to the clash, took the lead 6-2 in the second period after Carson

Greatrex scored three consecutive goals and Olive French added another, but an extra player from the Gators scored twice in the dying minute of the game.

Maddox Zaidan Jones led the Gators with two goals and three assists, while Greatrex finished with four goals and French with a goal and two assists for the Flyers.

Pumped up Williams starts season with excellent runs TCI’s first Olympian Delano Williams is hitting the iron—and he is hitting it hard. The national 100M and 200M record holder is looking to make an impact this season and he has already seen results.

At the Gibson McCook 4X100M relays late last month, the 25-yearold ran a blistering second leg and helped his team Speed Unit (a part of the Maximising Velocity and Power (MVP) Track and Field Club) to an amazing 39.23s, which placed them third against some of the big names.

For Williams it was his fastest ever 4X100M relay time. The Grand Turk born credits his weightlifting for the improvement in speed.

He said that when he started MVP his coach felt he was a bit skinny, so in the off-season he did a lot of gym work. Over the months, he has gained many personal bests in his bench press and squats.

Williams does weight training three times per week and plyometric twice per week.

“I do think it has made me faster, this is the fastest relay I have ever been on, so it show great strength on how good I’m getting.”

Williams, who switches allegiances in 2013, was cut by British Athletics last year, because

I AM HERE The former World Junior Champion 200M gold medallist, who intends to attend the IAAF World Championships later this year in Doha, Qatar, said he knows the season is critical for him.

He opened his season last month at the Milo Western Relays in the 4X400M with a first leg spin of 47.1s. Overall, the two relays have impressed his coaches at MVP.

“They said that I ran really really well and that I look like myself from high school again.”

For Williams this season is a working progress. “I feel like I’m just taking steps by steps, I don’t want to put my hopes up. This season is very critical for me, It’s just something I have to be mindful of and focus on what I want to achieve, because I really want to go to Doha to represent in the individual event.

On Saturday, they recorded their third win by a 4-1 margin over Beaches FC at the Academy ground.

Although Beaches FC looked the aggressor early, it was Ralph Saint-Fleur who found the net in the 37th minute for the defending champs.

The score stayed at 1-0 until after half time with the game still quite even, and Beaches capitalised on a penalty ten minutes into the second half to level the game.

Raymond Burey was having none of it as he scored two goals in the middle of the half by chasing fine through balls. For the first, he just outpaced the defender in the middle and drilled it into the corner of the goal but the second saw a fine through ball from Jeff Beljour which Burey pounced on and finished from a tight angle.

The new TD of TCI football Andrew Edwards is keen on youth and women’s development.

March 9-15, 2019

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

Omar Edwards brings a wealth of experience to the Men’s National team and the U15 side.

Aaron Lawrence should beef up our defence between the uprights and help develop a batch of new keepers on the island.

New TD keen on developing youth and women’s football – Fulford says coaching team will professionalise sport on the Islands THE Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) has put together a solid team of coaches who are expected to move TCI football to the next level.

The new coaches are immensely experienced and already have systems in place to develop all aspects of the game, especially youth

and women’s football.

In an invited comment, President of the TCIFA Sonia Fulford said that the decision to hire the Jamaican trio was extremely important for the growth of the sport. “It is critical for the development of our youth players and our football program in general, that we have in place experienced

full time coaches.”

Fulford said that the coaches will “professionalise the way our players are being coached and guided at the TCIFA as this is the way of modern football.”

Former Jamaican U17 and U20 national coach, Andrew Edwards is leading the team as technical director.

While former Jamaica national goalkeeper Aaron Lawrence, who has World Cup experience, is training the national U13 side and functioning as a goalkeeping coach.

The other coach is Omar Edwards, who left former Jamaican five-time Premier League champions Tivoli Gardens Football Club this year to take over as the national men’s coach and the national U15 coach.

STRONG COMBINATION Together, Andrew Edwards, Omar Edwards and Lawrence, along with our Director of Women’s Football, Yunelsis Rodriguez-Baez, will be spearheading the TCIFA’s youth programmes and senior teams, laying the groundwork to elevate the development of all the players within the various programmes in the TCIFA.

TCI Aquatics Club swimmers off to the Bahamas Four pre-teen swimmers will represent the TCI Aquatics Club over the next two days in the Bahamas. The eldest of the lot, Tajhari Williams, 11, will attempt to make CARIFTA times. The other swimmers will look to improve on their PBs. From left to right: Tajhari Williams 11, Lenika Hamilton 7, Leniah Hamilton 5, Lenin Hamilton Jr. 9, and coach Lenin Hamilton.

PREPARING THE FOOTBALL OF THE FUTURE Andrew Edwards, who brings with him a plethora of football expertise, gained on and off the field, told the Weekly News that his vision for the TCI is to develop young footballers to take their games to the next level.

“Coming here to the TCI my vision is really to prepare the football of the future. Everything I am doing, I am trying to do it with an intention with the best fruit to be reaped 8-10 years down the road.”

The top ranked coaching educator for the Jamaican Football Federation and for regional football governing body, CONCACAF, added that his main focus is on youth development

and the development of women’s football.

“We are really keened on developing the youth football, the club structure, the league structure, we really want to get those going.

One of my top priority is to build out the women’s game, so we can have very competitive teams going forwards.”

The Technical Director said that the time is ripe to take women’s football to the next level in the TCI. He said that with a women’s FA president in Fulford and progressive female development campaign

by FIFA’s head Gianni Infantino coupled with Jamaica qualifying for the Women’s World Cup later this year, the region is buzzing with excitement and momentum.

Omar Edwards, who has World Cup training experience, is expected to lead the national male team in the upcoming International Friendly Game against the Bahamas on March 17, and the final Nations League Qualifier against the British Virgin Islands on March 21.

Lawrence, who kept for Jamaica in their 1998 2-1 World Cup win against Japan, will be key in developing our senior team’s last line of defence, since one of our weaknesses over the years has been between the uprights.

According to the new TD, the coaches are competent in their roles and will work hard to enhance the development of TCI football.

“There are some exciting times ahead and we are really looking forward to that.”
