Father of two tragically killed in Sunday morning robbery

BY OLIVIA ROSE A TWENTY-seven-year-old father of two was brutally killed outside of his home during a robbery in the early hours of Sunday morning (October 13).

Jefferson Seide, a beloved husband and father, was shot and killed by bandits on Church Avenue, Millennium Highway in Providenciales.

On Saturday night, the victim was bartending at the ‘In the Pink’ charity event at the Palms Resort.

A source told the Weekly News that he had reached home after the event and was about to enter when three masked men pounced on the unsuspecting man.

The armed robbers, who allegedly tailed him from the party, then demanded money from Seide, who refused.

The assailants shot the bartender in the upper region of his back before making good their escape.

Officers of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force received reports of shots being fired in the area around 2.46am.

Seide had already succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at Cheshire Hall Medical Centre at 3.57am.

Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams in a statement conveyed his sympathy to the victim’s family and called on residents to help police in the fight against crime.

He said: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the young man who was murdered early this morning. I know that this is a very difficult time for all

Deceased Jefferson Seide and his daughter in happier times

“The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force stand committed to bringing the facts to light and we need the public’s support in assisting us with information.

“Someone must have seen something. If you do not want to talk to the police, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477. We need to get these thugs off the streets and behind bars.

“We are currently at murder 12 and this is beyond unacceptable.

These senseless murders must stop and we as a community must not continue to allow a minority to place the majority in fear,” Adams said.

corners of the globe.

Janine Popick who identified herself as Seide’s friend, started an online fundraiser to help his family with funeral arrangements.

She said: “Please help support the family of a dear, kind, loving, funny and humble young man Jefferson Seide.

“Jefferson was such a great friend to so many people, he made so many people around him laugh and feel good about life.

“His smile was electrifying. His life was tragically taken from all of us in a senseless crime in the early hours on October 13. The void that his death has left is earth shattering.

“As we write these words we still cannot believe that we are writing these sad words. Your donations of any size are needed now to help pay for his funeral expenses.

“As a man of the extreme generosity he showed so many people, he and his family deserve nothing less from those he touched.”

Peter Wilcox who donated to the fund said: “We are so saddened by this news. Jefferson was such a friendly, caring person.

“From the first time we met him, he made us feel so welcome at our home away from home. We will miss you Jeff. Peter, Lindsay and Kensington.”

Other donors said: “We were blessed to meet Jefferson three years ago when we vacationed in Turks and Caicos. He was extremely kind, humble, funny, sweet and personable.

“He treated us like family and we became family. Witnessing his dedication, admiration and love for his family was extremely wonderful.

“He made our visits to Turks enjoyable and fun and was part of the reason we kept coming back year after year after year.

“Our hearts are broken and our prayers go out to his beautiful family, children and friends. We love you Jefferson and we are going to miss you dearly. Gone too soon.”

The owner of Key to the Sea Parasailing described Seide as a hardworking and humble man.

“He was a staple on the beach to guests so much that he often got invited to their houses on vacation.

His demeanour was always fun loving with lots of smiles and laughs.

“His peers that we know loved working with him he was always smiling and was a consummate professional at work.

“It is a true loss to lose an individual who was very proud of his family, humble and hard working.

“To lose a life for a robbery is the worst, because thousands of us would give anything to have him back for his children.

“This was not gang or drug related, this was a senseless crime for petty cash. Devastating.”

PNP calls on UK government for crime fighting help

BY DELANA ISLES THE LEADER of the Opposition is calling on Her Majesty’s Government to take strong measures to protect the people and economy of the TCI against the rising tide of crime.

Hon. Charles Washington Misick made the call on Tuesday (October 15) in statements to the press.

Misick’s message is a departure from assurances made over a number of months that he would not politicise the crime situation.

This departure, the Opposition leader reasoned, is because the long term peace of the TCI is at risk and it is time for action, not more rhetoric.

“We call on this PDM administration to stand with us and let us begin a non-violent protest movement until our justifiable security concerns are addressed,” Misick invited.

Recounting the many press statements he issued in the lead up to the 12th recorded murder on October 12, and in which he stood in solidarity with the Government as the crime situation escalated from violent to deadly, the PNP leader said the situation has now grown so troubling that engagements with all stakeholders are absolutely necessary.

“The situation in the last 10 days has been the most troubling to date.

Those who would rob, maim and kill us have shown that they are prepared to act in the light of day without regard for the police.

“Unfortunately, the response to this threat has been routine and lukewarm, while the fate of our families and communities are being threatened.

“Local law enforcement is outgunned and outmanned, law abiding citizens are imprisoned in their own homes and all the while there is a deafening silence and inaction from those who are elected to protect us, or who bear constitutional responsibility for the security of these Islands.”

He added that drastic and immediate action is now needed to allay the fear and anxiety that now permeates every corner of local society.

According to the party leader, the structures in place to engage with stakeholders are woefully inadequate.

He said he knows this because, while he is not privy to the decisions of the National Security Council, he is a member of the National Security Council Advisory Group.

That group last met on March 13.

“Despite this, I have tried to provide advice to those with responsibility for direct security of these Islands through press statements and monthly bilateral meetings with the governor.”

Misick considers his suggestions to be practical, reasonable, affordable and

immediately implementable.

Some of the suggestions made by the Opposition leader have been in operation, such as increased police budget, 24-hour possession of picture identification, roadblocks for firearms, drugs and unlicensed vehicles among others.

He has now offered several more.

These steps include: “Reestablish the police training school for the training of recruits and continuous education for police officers; immediately hire an additional 30 tactical trained police officers in addition to the 20 new recruits recently budgeted for.

“Institute a 90-day intensive training programme for new recruits and initially deploy them on beat duty in the various communities; install check points on all roads in/out of high-risk communities; open at least three additional police stations/posts - Blue Hills, Five Cays and Kew Town.

“Acquire and deploy at least 20 unmarked police cars manned by plain clothes police officers for undercover duty.

“Expedite the introduction of a biometric unique identifier system for every person legally entitled to reside in the Islands.

“Create a database of Turks and Caicos Islanders deported from foreign countries; introduce a witness protection legislative and support framework system for informers of violent crimes.

“Introduce electronic monitoring legislation to allow for the monitoring of persons on bail and parole; and introduce telephone intercept communications legislation like that used in the Cayman Islands.”

The PNP leader says he is fully aware that his suggestions do not take into consideration the root cause of crime in the territory, and therefore the measures suggested are containment, abatement and control responses.

“The root causes of crime are largely economic and social constructs and the political directorate must now come to grips with the need to balance rapid economic growth with home grown social development goals, economic fairness and inclusiveness to rebuild the social capital of the TCI.” He stated that the current situation demands an immediate meeting of the National Security Council Advisory Group to receive detailed updates on the recently announced National Security Strategy, and to provide input into security enhancement measures to protect communities.

He said going forward it is of critical importance that the National Security Council Advisory Group is routinely engaged as critical partners in the security of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

‘We’re very scared’ – Provo business owners and residents

BY OLIVIA ROSE A SERIES of armed robberies has struck fear into the hearts of Providenciales business owners, with many saying they are terrified they could become the next victim.

In a disturbing trend, several businesses have been held up by armed bandits during brazen attacks over the past month.

Last week thieves raided a bar, an office and a salon – one man was shot as he was robbed while taking a ride in a car.

On Sunday morning gunmen shot and killed a bartender at his residence and shortly after invaded the home of an immigration officer.

These are just some of the cases that has left the public crippled with fear.

Restaurants and bars that usually close late are now shutting their doors earlier to avoid becoming the next victim.

The Weekly News spoke to several business owners and residents around Providenciales and it was evident that a climate of fear has gripped the island.

Many store doors are now padlocked and bolted from within leaving customers to purchase their merchandise through tiny cracks in the grills.

Some proprietors have resorted to hiring extra security, while others are turning away people who come to purchase items.

“We are very scared,” said a shop owner in Blue Hills. “Yesterday our cameras caught two guys right here outside our shop.

“A month back, there was a robbery across the road and a guy took out a gun and shot up in the air.

I later saw him hiding in the bush.

“There’s a school right here. What if that happened while children were walking here?

“Outside [our store] they grab people’s phones and purses at gunpoint and run.

“We are being careful and just pray to God. We just run in the shop if anything happens outside. Luckily we are only open from 8am to 4.45pm.”

The woman said only recently a man was mugged at gunpoint at the neighbourhood laundromat in Blue Hills.

“People can’t even do their laundry in peace, man. This is getting overbearing.”

A restaurant owner told this publication that since the robberies have become more frequent it has tremendously impacted his business.

He said: “People don’t want to shop in this complex anymore.

Stores in Downtown Providenciales

People are afraid to even come and buy food. That’s how bad it is now.

“All we’re hearing from the Government is talk and no action.

These criminals need to be caught soon. It’s affecting everybody.

Business slow down big time,” the man added.

One businesswoman who’s been operating a successful company in the TCI for almost 24 years said the crime wave is “unprecedented”.

“Provo’s changed. Twenty-four years I’m living here and doing business here and I never saw anything like this.

“It’s young, young boys, 18, 20, 21, boys who are just out of school.

How are they getting these guns in the first place?”

The woman, who was also the victim of a robbery a few months ago, said the youngsters committing the crimes are known to community members.

“Most of these youths are faces

we see every day. When they robbed my shop, I knew one of them. He bought stuff at me before.

“They don’t have any respect, they held up my poor old mother.

I’m so thankful she wasn’t hurt.

“The police need to do more to take these criminals off the street and their families need to stop protecting them.”

A manager at a clothing shop said: “The other day we caught two people trying to steal clothes and shoes, so it’s not only armed guys, it’s also a lot of [petty] crimes.”

He said he would like to increase security, but he cannot afford more security measures.

One clothing shop worker said: “They could just come here with guns and take all the bags on the wall.

What can we do if that happens?”

An attendant at a food shop said: “We feel very afraid because nobody knows who is who and there is cash here and we worry about that.

Something needs to happen to stop

all of this.”

The proprietor of a general store in Downtown Providenciales said since there is an increase in both armed robberies and common crime, maybe the police need to reconsider issuing licensed firearms to some business owners so they can protect themselves.

“The number of firearms that criminals have, legal or illegal, is worrying. We, the business community, need to be able to protect ourselves and families from these monsters.”

Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams together with Deputy Premier Sean Astwood and acting Governor Anya Williams told reporters on Tuesday that investigations into the recent serious and violent crimes are ongoing.

Adams said police are continuing sustained operations and the increased patrols, and will continue to deploy further crime fighting strategies.

He said: “We are extremely concerned with the climate of fear that is prevailing our communities particularly in Providenciales and met to also share our concerns and to ensure that the feelings of the public is represented to the highest level of enforcement.

“Our police are working hard and we continue to support them.

“We are however pleased through this medium to say that we have and are securing external support for reinforcement to bolster the work of the police.”

Bermuda police arrive next week to help fight rising crime

BY OLIVIA ROSE

POLICE officers from Bermuda will arrive in the territory next week to lend assistance and investigative support to the local force as it battles to curtail the ballooning crime rate.

This was disclosed during a joint press conference with member of the Royal TCI Police Force, the Governor’s Office and the Turks and Caicos Islands Government.

The briefing was held on Tuesday, October 15, at the Hilly Ewing building in Providenciales.

It aimed to update the public on ongoing and new initiatives to improve police presence in the fight against the increased levels of serious crime.

During the conference, Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams said he welcomed the additional support from the Bermuda Police Service.

“These officers will be placed where they are needed the most, and

coupled with our officers working around the clock will transform the TCI into a place where criminals think twice before breaking the law.”

He then spoke of a recent recruitment exercise and plans to add 20 new officers to the force.

“We continue to increase our policing numbers and will be sending our recruits to the Regional Police Training Centre in Barbados,” he said, “with the first batch of officers leaving on Friday (October 18) and the second batch in early 2020.”

He stressed that through these efforts, the Turks and Caicos Islands will be a better place to live, work and visit.

Acting Premier Hon. Sean Astwood spoke of the recent steep climb in violent crime and said: “One life lost is one too many.”

He added: “We have recently launched the Chance for Change Programme to assist ex-offenders to re-enter society and obtain employment.

“We have purchased the building for the trade school and are progressing to getting the facility and programmes ready for the new school year.

“In the meantime, the TCI Community College is offering courses and we encourage our students to apply as quickly as possible.

“My Government has recently purchased a plane for the police and also provided additional police cars.”

He said the Government has invested heavily in the CCTV programme on Providenciales and Grand Turk and as well as funding for an additional 20 police officers.

“It is important for the youth to understand that a life of crime really has no future,” the acting premier said.

Acting Governor Anya Williams then pledged her office’s support to the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and commended the officers on the jobs that they are doing.

“We express our deepest regret

Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams, Acting Governor Anya Williams and Acting Premier Hon. Sean Astwood

and sympathy to the recent victims of crime in these Islands and assure you that this has been given the highest level of our attention.

“As we continue our efforts to reduce the incidents of criminality in these Islands, we are grateful for the support of our overseas territory colleagues in the Bermuda Police Service that will arrive within the next seven days to provide support to our serious crime investigation

team.”

She too noted that substantial investments have been and will continue to be made in the local force and in improving their policing capabilities.

“We commit to working with all businesses, stakeholders and all private citizens to support the work of the police force as we work to keep our Islands safe and free from serious criminal activity.”

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

would be high on the list.

STATUS COMMISSION RESIGNATION REQUEST OPPOSITION leader Hon. Washington Misick has called for the TCI Status Ordinance to be repealed and all members of the newly formed commission to resign.

He is also calling for wide-ranging public consultation and the implementation of a population policy before any decision on status can be made.

What are your thoughts?

Enough of the Misicks

Public consultation is not needed for everyday immigration operations.

Once again the Misick brothers Washington and Mike are trying to stop logical progress.

They are concerned that seats won by their party in the last election could be lost because of the handful of fresh immigrants who will look at their records before they vote.

Three years ago one seat was given to the PNP for a margin of one vote. Washington had a margin of only about 25 votes as an at large candidate.

Mike needs votes to avoid prison and Washington needs votes to save the Misick PNP party from total dissolution.

The trial will put Mike out of politics.

Washington should retire to save himself further embarrassment.

The people have had it with the Misicks.

They got rich taking advantage of our people.

Don’t open floodgates

It will not take a population policy or any kind of policy to protect the rights and existence of Turks and Caicos Islanders.

The only policy needed does not require a study but simply a resolve to shut the door to the ark and to protect the interests of TCI Islanders.

One does not need a study or a fudge to protect one’s people.

The TCI Status Ordinance was one law that should never ever have been enacted by any government.

Turks and Caicos Islander status is a special right especially for a country so fragile, so small, which used to be so closely knit.

Those who have it already ought to have had it and no more. This is no time to open the floodgates.

Enough is been given and we have already done the humanitarian thing. This is not a human rights issue but a matter of choice and indulgence of the people of the TCI. A small native population base cannot afford to be so open, so liberal, so free with giving away basic status rights just like that.

It sent shock waves through the spines of native born and duly enfranchised TC Islanders to see that list of names being circulated.

Opportunism and politics

So Mike gives many, many entry openings to get votes - game switches, Washy (his

ATMs to close during the night DRIVE through cash machines will be closed from 7pm to 8am for the foreseeable future to protect the safety of bank customers.

Scotiabank, the Royal Bank of Canada and First Caribbean International Bank

all agreed to the move during a meeting with police and Acting Governor Anya Williams on Wednesday (October 16).

During the closure all of the banks will be conducting an enhanced security assessment of their establishments.

Playing politics

Washy is playing politics. Mike gave many Belongerships to Haitian folks for political gain.

Now Washy is insisting on blocks to citizenship for political gain.

Inaccurate list

brother) blows a different whistle.

It is called opportunism and politics and/ or both combined.

Dissolve commission

Basically, a wide-ranging public consultation will serve no purpose. This pathway to citizenship, fallout from the interim government, needs to be jettisoned now.

There is only one thing to do now. End the idea and policy of granting TCI status.

Give them a PRC. If one samples the average TC Islander there will be a consensus to repeal that law which should never have been passed in the first.

Members of the constitutional commission should have this question of repeal added as a question to the ongoing constitutional talks.

The granting of TCI Islander status is constitutional in nature. So, let TCI people decide whether this country at this stage in its history wants to be sharing its franchise and widening it.

Let the TC Islander Status Ordinance be repealed and the commission dissolved.

Extend status

We need to grow and enlarge the franchise.

We should start off with Turks and Caicos Islanders in diaspora.

Let’s give status to all descendants whose parents and grandparents were born in the TCI. We should extend status for persons whose great-grandparents were born in the TCI up to 1962 when we became a Crown colony.

There should be a path to TC Islander status for persons with PRCs after 10 years of residing legally in the TCI and for British citizens, five years of residing here legally.

We need a sustainable approach to who should be granted status. The Singapore model worked well for Singapore.

Provide the statistics of the place of origin of most PRC holders and if there is a high concentration then we limit the amount of PRCs we approve from persons from that country.

I am sure Haiti, Canada and Jamaica

This list needs immediate clarification because most of the names on that list were given status a long time ago. It may be that that over 100 names ought not have been on that list.

At issue now is the idea that a Government would enact a law without giving regard to the ramifications of this development, which are severe and drastic.

TC Islander status confers on the holder the right to vote, a fundamental and sacred right which determines who gets to run this country.

It carries the right to run for public office, hold office as premier, leader of the Opposition, member of parliament, minister and of course ‘servant of the people’.

More so, the status carries the right to own a business licence in the reserved category of business licensing, and own residential Crown land.

Who would pass such a law, which is not in the interests of TC Islanders?

These rights do not come easy but everyone wants them, especially when it comes to the TCI. So, what policy could a Government divine, imagine or figure that would prompt the PNP administration in 2015 to pass such a law?

A law that would share and give these rights away to others? Is that good policy?

Not democratic.

We have already shared these rights with brothers and sisters who came to live here amongst us.

Did they survey the people? Get the approval of their party? Did Turks and Caicos Islanders vote for this law?

Could a party platform state that ‘it is our policy that once elected, we will grant willy nilly, to all who may come, Turks and Caicos Islander status’?

Was this law part of the will of the people? What got into them to pass the law and now appoint members to the TCI Islander Status Commission and now want mass resignations? Will the leader of the Opposition lead by example and make his appointees resign?

Connolly urges Gov’t to be more proactive in fighting crime

BY OLIVIA ROSE MEMBER of parliament Hon. Josephine Connolly has called on the Government to be “proactive rather than reactive” as it relates to crime in the territory.

During a sitting of the House of Assembly last month, Connolly said the Government should implement more stringent measures to prevent crime rather than responding to it afterwards.

“The rise in crime is at the forefront of our citizens’ concerns,” she said. “As a representative of my people it is therefore one of my major concerns.

“In my 2018-2019 budget address I raised the issue. To quote from my speech at the time of the budget debate, ‘there are very few departments in this budget whose operational effectiveness are a matter of life and death’.

“It is therefore disappointing to note that after a recommendation from the recent skills audit that the police service should be increased by 30 percent, that the compliment in the 2018-2019 budget has actually decreased from 323 to 322.

“In 2018 I was arguing in vain for an increase in police numbers. In the 2019 budget, we finally saw an increase in police numbers, but only according to the budget from 322 to 327. Not enough, not nearly enough.

“I grew up in Salt Cay and we always had a police presence.

Always. It is only under this Government, a Government that boasts of a cash surplus in excess of $100 million, that there is no provision of one policeman on Salt Cay. Not one.

“I say shame on this Government for abandoning the people of Salt Cay.” Connolly said that while the

Prison officers and inmate injured during ‘disruption’ A “BRIEF disruption” at Her Majesty’s Prison in Grand Turk resulted in two prison officers and one inmate being injured.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the incident on Wednesday (October 16) was not a riot as suggested on social media posts.

“However, there was a brief disruption in the normal state of affairs at the prison that influenced a request for the assistance of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force.”

The incident originated from prison officers performing their duties as required, the release said, adding: “Standard operations were achieved within a very short period of time.”

It said that the well-being of prison officers and inmates continues to be a high priority.

“Our thanks go out to the prison staff and the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force who work collaboratively to ensure the safety of all persons.”

In November last year, Sabrina Green, Director of the TCI Human Rights Commission, released a lengthy statement exposing the appalling state of the prison.

In her report, she said the penal facility was “not fit for

human habitation” and should be condemned.

Green reported that its state was in breach of several UN standards and inmates had been “dehumanised” by poor living conditions leaving little room for rehabilitation.

In January this year a violent riot broke out at the prison after several disgruntled prisoners were not taken to their court hearings.

Then in May dozens of inmates refused to leave the communal areas and return to their cells after they said they were not supplied with adequate bathroom products.

In August Governor Nigel Dakin was given a tour of the facility and sat for an hour listening to the concerns of several prisoners.

“If a society is to run effectively then there must be law, and there must be sanction for those that break the law,” the governor said. “A prison is the physical manifestation of that.

“But once a person’s liberty has been taken, the state not only has a duty but also self interest in according them the dignity that they may well have denied their victim while also understanding that absent of mandatory full life sentences, these men will one day be either their neighbour or their children’s neighbour.”

Government has proposed a new crime strategy with additional resources for the police force, prevention is better than cure.

“In truth it is better to be proactive rather than reactive, especially with an area as important as crime.”

She reminded residents that crime is not only the Government’s responsibility.

“We all have a part to play - the churches, the civic organisation, parents, citizens.

“And let us not forget the elected members of this House. We as representatives of the people should hold ourselves to a higher standard.

“After all, if we do not set an example how can we expect constituents to do anything different?

“So to the extent and let me repeat, before I am buried by an avalanche of objections, to the extent that members of this House consort with individuals of dubious character with suspected links to crime, I beg that you sever these links.

“This is a small country, very little is not known and we are judged by the company we keep.

“It is important that the Government and the Opposition set the tone for this country,” Connolly added.

MP Hon. Josephine Connolly said “we all have a part to play” in the battle against crime

Police to target cars with tinted windows

BY OLIVIA ROSE THE ROYAL TCI Police Force is set to crack down on vehicles with heavily tinted windows as part of its crime fighting strategy.

The move is in line with the enforcement of a “zero tolerance approach to crime”, according to Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams.

Speaking on Tuesday (October 15) during a press conference, Adams said cars with heavily tinted windows are often used in robberies, murders and other crimes.

“I think that members of the public wouldn’t appreciate the fact that many of the vehicles on our streets have rather dark tints - it might seem to be something insignificant,” he said.

“But from a law enforcement stand point, it enables criminals to carry out their line of business which is certainly illegal and it also allows them to evade detection by law enforcement.”

He explained that several vehicles that were used during a crime had later been discovered to have a dark, black or reflective film.

“With immediate effect there will be zero tolerance as it relates to illegal tints on vehicles across the Turks and Caicos Islands,” Adams said.

The acting police commissioner warned that going forward amendments will be made to the law and with immediate effect those with dark tints should remove them.

He explained that the maximum legal tint allowed is 30 percent; anything above will be ticketed and

dealt with accordingly.

“We are also asking that the legislation be changed whereby if persons want to insist that they have dark tint, your licence could eventually be revoked,” he added.

Adams pointed out that these stringent measures will be deployed to ensure the public’s safety and called on citizens to comply with the law.

“We have to get serious about this type of business. It endangers our officers’ lives from time to time when we stop persons and particularly at night because we have no idea who’s hiding behind those tints.

“As I’ve indicated, it might seem insignificant but it plays a very serious part in terms of our crime fighting initiative and going forward we will do what we need to do to ensure that members of our society are safe.”

He added that he is aware that in the past a number of people asked the former director of road safety for permission to have heavily tinted windows, which was agreed.

“That will be addressed and we’re asking that all of those permissions be revoked so that we can certainly police this country in a way that avoids criminals, thugs hiding behind the darkness of tinted windows,” Adams stressed.

The public is reminded that under Section 47 of the Road Traffic Ordinance, it is an offence to drive a vehicle with excessive window tinting.

Doing so comes with a maximum penalty of $250 for each window.

The prescribed limit is 30 percent, with six inches top-down on the front windshield.

Illegal boat with 154 on board towed to shore A FORTY-foot boat containing 154 passengers was intercepted as it sailed illegally through TCI waters last week.

The Coastal Radar System detected the vessel and the Marine Branch Unit towed it towards South Dock port in Providenciales using the Sea Pursuit and Sea Guardian police boats.

The blue and red boat powered by twin 75 outboard engines

was spotted at about 9.20pm on Thursday, October 10.

It carried 106 Haitian men, 17 Haitian women, one 15-year-old Haitian male teen, one sevenyear-old Haitian female child and 29 Sri Lankan men.

When the vessel was safely on shore, the passengers were handed over to immigration officials who escorted them to the Detention Centre for processing and repatriation.

Closed door hearing for extradition defendant Peter Karam

BY DELANA ISLES EMBATTLED Canadian lawyer Peter Karam was back in court on Wednesday (October 16) for what was expected to be a public hearing.

However, when the Weekly News turned up at the law courts for the hearing before Chief Magistrate Tanya Lobban-Jackson, Karam’s lawyer Oliver Smith requested that the proceedings be kept private.

The two lawyers and the Crown’s representatives from the Attorney General’s Chambers were invited back into the chief magistrate’s chambers where the hearing was held.

Smith later confirmed to the Weekly News that the proceedings were a preliminary hearing ahead of the formal extradition proceedings which is expected to start on Monday, December 16.

Until that time, it is unclear whether Karam will be fighting the extradition, or if he will voluntarily submit himself to questioning by the Argentine authorities in relation to the alleged money laundering scheme that was outed in January by Carolina Pochetti.

Pochetti is the wife of Daniel Muñoz, former private secretary to now deceased Argentina president Néstor Kirchner.

In October 2018, the federal chamber of Argentina had enabled the freezing of bank accounts in the US and assets of $65 million of the former private secretary of Nestor Kirchner, Daniel Muñoz and called for investigation and detention of his widow and other defendants.

Following her arrest, Pochetti

Canadian lawyer Peter Karam was back in court on Wednesday

struck a plea deal with authorities, on the condition she provides information about the illegal dealings of her husband in exchange for a lesser sentence.

That information saw Karam being named as an alleged coconspirator in a money laundering scheme which entailed land being purchased in the Turks and Caicos Islands to build a resort.

That land is in North West Point,

Providenciales, near the Amanyara resort.

Shortly after Pochetti supplied authorities with this and other information, Interpol issued a warrant for Karam’s arrest.

He was arrested by local cops, and shortly after an extradition request was made to the TCI by Argentina.

The Supreme Court then seized the land.

Karam maintains his innocence and has promised to cooperate with authorities.

SIPT postponed again NIB cases adjourned

THE ANTICIPATED start to defence’s case in the Special Investigation and Prosecution Team’s (SIPT) trial has encountered another delay.

The trial was set to convene on Tuesday (October 15) but another unforeseen circumstance related to a personal issue with a defence lawyer, has pushed it back to a later date.

The new date is Monday (October 21).

At that time, the nine defendants will finally have a chance, in the years long trial, to tell their side of the story.

They all stand accused of

corruption, in one form or another, during the Michael Misick administration.

On trial are chief defendant and ex-premier Michael Misick, former deputy premier Floyd Hall, former minister McAllister Hanchell, former minister Lillian Boyce, former minister Jeffrey Hall, attorney Clayton Greene, attorney Thomas ‘Chal’ Misick, Lisa Hall and Melbourne Wilson.

The trial officially began on December 8, 2015, and since that time the prosecution has been laying out a very extensive case against the nine accused.

DEFENDANTS Norma Goodridge, Nawani Imports and TCIPS Foundation were scheduled to appear in Providenciales Magistrate’s Court on Friday, October 11.

They were to answer to applications for judgement summons in the amount of $78,993.15.

Attorney John Ewing appeared on behalf of the National Insurance Board (NIB) and attorney Robert D’Arceuil is representing the defendants.

According to a press release from NIB, the matter was adjourned for trial continuation on Monday, October 28.

We are in a state of emergency IF MY people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy (2 Timothy 3:2) Like many countries, the Turks and Caicos Islands is in a state of emergency. We are in a state of emergency because criminals are on the loose robbing and killing innocent people.

As small as our country is, we are unable to capture these individuals and hence the majority of our murder cases are unresolved.

We are in a state of emergency because many of us no longer fear God. We fear people. We fear what they will do to us or what they will say about us.

Because we do not fear God, we are committing all kinds of evil acts.

Men are lovers of themselves and lovers of money and we know the love of money is the root of all evil.

We are in a state of emergency because there is so much hatred and division among us. Because of hatred, strife is stirred up (Proverbs 10:12).

Because of hatred, jealousy takes place. Because of hatred, murders

take place. Because of hatred, there is no unity.

I hope by now you understand the point I am trying to make about our country being in a state of emergency.

CALL FOR HELP Whenever we face an emergency we call for help. Most times we call 911 call for help.

When you call that number, you expect a police or an ambulance to be dispatched to your destination.

Hopefully they will arrive in time to rescue you from your state of emergency.

Unfortunately though, some criminals get away before the police arrives and some people die before the ambulance arrives.

In any event, we must continue and should always call 911 for an emergency.

I agree what we are experiencing in the Turks and Caicos Islands is a spiritual battle and because this is a spiritual battle then we need to call on the Lord for help.

God is a god that can do anything.

However, we should not go to the Lord in our wicked state.

We need to repent and turn from our wicked ways so that our sins will be forgiven and so our land can be healed.

Too many of us have sold out our country and now it is coming back to haunt us and the innocent are suffering for the guilty. However, it

is not too late to call Jesus for help.

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD We believe that whenever we call for help especially from the Lord, we will get help. However, faith without works is dead.

We just cannot sit around and say we are waiting for help. There are some steps that we can do while waiting on help.

Yes, we need to pray and call the Lord for help in times of emergencies.

However, God will not come down from Heaven to solve the issues.

He will give wisdom to his people and use them to do what needs to be done to resolve our emergencies.

In the field of medicine, we have general practitioners but some doctors take it a step further by specialising in certain areas and so a general practitioner may refer a patient to a specialist.

Like the doctors, we have our roles in calming and solving these

emergency situations.

The governor has his role to play.

The Government has their role to play. The police have their role to play. The church has its role to play.

The family has their role to play. The community has its role to play.

If we play our roles accordingly, we can turn this state of emergency into a calm state.

How can we expect the police to solve the crimes when persons within the community are withholding evidence and information?

How can we expect things to happen when we pray when we are not doing our part?

CONCLUSION The church cannot be business as usual, we must get rid of the traditional forms of worship on Sundays and use those times for repentance and prayer.

We must get out of four walls and go throughout the TCI and have meetings on the streets especially in the prevalent areas.

If the criminals are bold enough to go anywhere and anytime then we should be bold enough to go in any area and spread the word of God. The Government must go back to drawing board and seek authorisation to spend millions of dollars on resources to eradicate the issues in our country.

The Government needs to seek help from other countries by recruiting specialists and experts who can deal with the situation we have on hand.

We are in a state of emergency and because we are in that state, we need to act so. Call for help and get the specialists in no matter the cost.

COMMENTARY

Hope is a good thing

“HOPE is a good thing” is a statement from one of the best well known movies of modern times, The Shawshank Redemption.

The leading character was unjustly sent to prison to spend 20 years with only hope to cling to.

When we review the local news, we also have hope.

Approaching the end of three years of the four-year term of the current Government there are all kinds of things going on.

No, not everything is hopeful except that even the disagreeable news reveals the true agenda of the news makers or reminds us of their past promises and performance.

financial problems of the National Health Insurance Plan (NHIP).

This is what Mrs Cartwright Robinson is good at. Straightening out a mess.

We are going forward again. For the Islands to grow properly we need population. Our indigenous people are moving away.

We need true immigrants who will bring their savings, foreign pensions and their skills to the Islands where

they will put down roots spending their assets here.

The Misick brothers fight against this logical kind of immigration?

Because they personally got rich under the PNP system.

Their riches coming out of the pockets of everyday people. Reasons people move away or steal.

Will 100 new Islanders’ votes swing an election? Ask Porsha?

Washy won his at large seat by only

28 votes three years ago.

We have neighbours and friends who voted for the Misicks and suffered. Will they remain loyal?

The need for a proper international airport is now being revisited. How many remember the PNP promise of a two-story building with jet ways?

Instead the Misicks got a mansion, PNP private jets, trips, limos, private banks and casinos.

Is John Smith, hired from outside, the proper man to guide the airport design?

We now have his huge waiting room without seating or outside walls and a narrow security check where we stand in line for a long time until we reach the sit down area.

When our visitors arrive, they believe they are in Port Au Prince everyone is speaking creole.

Poor George Lightbourne, who has been serving in Floyd Hall’s seat while Floyd waits out the long, long trial which distracts the countries attention.

The trial that demands the legal fees defending PNP leaders who somehow used up the millions taken by these same defendants.

Their leader roams the Islands and marries his latest queen from across the sea. Will she be on the list for Islander status and vote for her husband and brother-inlaw?

George argues PNP secret manipulations kept Washy as leader and put E Jay in second place, breaking rules.

The PNP following rules?

George needs encouragement.

Hope is a good thing.

Spare the nation humiliation and pain An open letter to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu Dear Mr Netanyahu, It is time for you to reflect on where you stand and how best to serve the country you care about in a time of much uncertainty and turmoil.

You have served as prime minister longer than any of your predecessors, and accomplished much for the state of Israel while ensuring its wellbeing and security.

You have helped put the country on the international stage.

Under your aegis, Israel became one of the most advanced nations - today the country leads in technology, medicine, agronomy, engineering and much more.

Rightfully, you can claim some credit for Israel’s achievements.

But you must also assume responsibility for many of Israel’s failures under your leadership - sadly, failures that will potentially haunt the Israelis for a generation to come.

Failures that will taint your legacy. But then, you can still muster the courage if you only will it, and leave the political scene while you still can with some pride.

You have failed wretchedly to deal with the Palestinian conflict; maintained the stigma of occupation; pursued a ruthless policy toward the Palestinians in the West Bank; built new and expanded existing settlements; openly called for the annexation of more Palestinian land; and denied their right to have a state of their own, as if they will just vanish by simply wishing them away.

You bolstered their resistance and resiliency. Hamas offers one living example of your failing policy, as neither the blockade, nor punishment, nor isolation have muffled their defiance.

Have you ever asked yourself where Israel will be in a score? What will be the Palestinians’ fate, and will Israel live in peace?

By branding the Palestinians as the perpetual enemy of the state, you have doomed the nation to unrelenting violent conflicts and wars, spilling the blood of precious young men and women on both sides with little or no prospect of peace in sight.

You led the Israelis to believe that Trump is Israel’s saviour.

How wrong! Trump has severely compromised Israel’s national security.

By simply enabling you to run wild and subject the Palestinians to your whims, Trump inflicted a mortal blow to the prospect of an Israeli-Palestinian peace.

You cheered when Trump relocated the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; you hailed Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and applauded his endorsing the annexation of the

Golan Heights.

Yes, for you this was the realisation of a life-long dream.

But then, however historically significant Trump’s moves may appear, you seem to conveniently forget that Trump’s backing of Israel rests solely on his need for the evangelicals’ political support, for whom Israel is the conduit for the return of the Messiah.

You have been fooled by Trump’s presumed commitment to Israel’s safety. He will turn on a dime and desert Israel just as he abandoned a trusted ally - the Syrian Kurds.

He has already flouted Israel’s national security as he has thrown the Middle East in turmoil, subjecting Israel to new deadly challenges and ominous threats.

Don’t count on the “deal of the century”, which you have concocted with his ignorant advisors.

It died before it was born, for it was conceived with malice and there is little in it for the Palestinians to count on.

You waged a relentless campaign to cancel the Iran deal. What have you achieved since Trump followed your misguided advice?

If you haven’t realised by now that you have made a dreadful mistake, just watch what Trump has done since he withdrew from the deal.

Yes, he imposed more sanctions, but never contemplated the use of force.

Following Tehran’s strike on a major Saudi oil refinery, he never seriously considered a military strike to punish Tehran, leaving the Saudis bewildered, scrambling for a solution.

Rapprochement with Iran, they decided is the way to go.

By what measure then is Israel better off today without the Iran deal?

Now that the clergy has resumed its nuclear programme activities, all that Trump wants now is to open a dialogue with Tehran.

Emboldened by his betrayal of allies and ineptitude, Israel is facing greater danger from Iran than ever before.

You have been dismantling Israel’s democracy brick by brick.

You are a divisive force, playing one political party against another attacking the press and branding it as the enemy of the people; making the high court the target of your criticism and contempt; discriminating against the Israeli Arab citizens, terrified by their growing electoral power; fracturing the vitally important relations between Israel and the American Jewish community; neglecting nearly a million Israelis under the poverty line; making shady deals with newspapers to give

you positive coverage; violating the oath of your office by accepting bribes; investing heavily on the settlements to secure the settlers’ political support; all while depriving crumbling cities and towns of money they need for rebuilding.

Indeed, if power corrupts, Mr Netanyahu, you present a classic case of the corrupting force of power.

You have pushed the country to conduct two elections in less than five months. Twice you were given the mandate to form a coalition government, but failed.

Israelis are screaming for a change in direction to address the country’s woes, but then even after 13 years in office as the prime minister, still, your voracious thirst for power remained the same.

It is probable that as prime minister you could survive the indictments

against you. But then, what about the welfare of the country? The country that you profess to love.

Israel is threatened, it needs a strong and united government, but without you. If you really cared about the future security of the state, you would turn to Benny Ganz, who is the most qualified to serve Israel best in this hour of need.

You have built a reputation as the champion of Israel’s security, as if without you the country will face a mortal danger that only you can prevent, spreading fear and awe, often creating imaginary threats only to justify your mischievous scheme to stay in power.

You seem to forget that with all your political wizardry, you are still a mortal; Israel will survive you for as far as the eye can see.

You must realise by now you have

gone as far as your destiny could lead you.

It’s time for you to go. There is nothing you can do that others cannot do just as good if not better.

Resign your post; turn to the attorney general to drop the charges against you. The nation will forgive you for your good intentions and some deeds.

It is an auspicious time to reflect on your achievements and shortcomings and the legacy you want to leave behind.

A third election in less than a year is not the answer. The result will be much of the same.

Unless you want to end up in jail just like your predecessor, spare the nation the humiliation and pain.

Sincerely yours Alon Ben-Meir, Professor of international relations, Centre for Global Affairs at NYU, New York

Is the leader of the Opposition fit to serve?

Dear Editor, In February this year, the PNP rejected new leadership saying they needed tested leadership.

I say every tested leader has not passed the test. But more importantly I say we need trusted leadership.

There are too many critical issues where the Leader of the Opposition Washington Misick has either flip flopped or was directed to change his decisions by the true leader of the PNP, his younger brother Mike.

Let’s look at the issue of TCI status. Truth be told, this issue has been flogged well over one decade and the people of this country each time ask to be a part of the process to the end.

The people are tired of politicians giving status to whomever they wish, for whatever reason they wish.

This topic was debated first in 2004 under Michael Misick and his nephew Donhue Gardiner as chairman of the Blue Ribbon Commission, and later as the change manager.

Fast forward to 2015, the PDM shut down the immigration bill for fresh consultations, as there were no consultations since three or four years before.

The bill was passed but the commission was not appointed.

But we, the people, collectively said the same thing; we believe that some persons who live here have

truly contributed and we would like them to become a part of us and we want a commission of our people, not politicians deciding status.

The now deputy premier brought amendments to the law again last year.

On all occasions Washy supported it and so did all members of the House of Assembly because they knew we, the people, consistently said we want the Cayman Islands’ system.

In November last year, the deputy premier invited us to participate in a survey to select the criteria we, the people, felt persons applying for status should possess.

Washy has never asked his own Government to do a population policy and sat and agreed to create this path in law.

He knows full well that the current Government is well advanced in the policy. How hypocritical of Washy.

Washy has now been rattled

by Mike leaking four years of applications; four years of applications sitting and collecting dust.

Before Washy demonstrates leadership and reminds the public that all applications do not mean granted, or encourage the commission to handle the process with care, he folded.

Washy waits until the law is debated in the House three times in the last five years; all debates he supported it.

Washy waits for the survey asking the people’s input. Washy appoints his two members to the commission (whom he has not asked to resign personally) and then says he forgot he should not have supported it.

Washy folded because the embattled former premier and his baby brother Mike made the people’s involvement dirty.

The same Mike who gave over 700 persons status during his time in office based on no documented criteria.

This is the same man that gave premature status to LisaRaye who did not meet the five year marriage requirement.

It is evident that Washy flopped because Mike wants political control of the process, which is the total opposite of what we the people want.

We do not want politicians having the final say in who gets status.

The bi-partisan board with a points system selected by we, the people, is the best way forward.

Can you trust Washy? One minute Washy is at the table for the constitutional talks then, he is not.

One minute Washy says he is retiring from PNP leadership, but the next he is following Mike’s instructions and holding on to the LOO position until Mike says he can CONTINUED 

Fulfil your mandate or resign Dear Editor, This week and the past few months have been a crazy time for us here in Turks and Caicos Islands.

We have gone from having almost no crime and especially no homicides per year to having 12 murders already for this year.

Crime and gun violence has completely take over with criminals feeling emboldened to the point where they are robbing persons and businesses in broad daylight.

While all this is happening, this week being the worst, the new governor and new commissioner of police are busy on private matters in the UK. The acting governor and the premier have made a poor attempt at a press release that is not comforting at all to the public and completely devoid of any solution to this mounting problem that we are facing.

The premier came to office with a mandate for change. We have seen absolutely no change in any of areas of governance or life in these Islands for the benefit of our people.

In fact, things have sadly only gotten worse.

Crime and the influx of illegal immigrants are at an all-time high as the governor and the Government sit idly by offering no solutions to the problems.

What happened to the 12 point crime plan we heard so much about during the 2016 election campaign

by Premier Cartwright Robinson?

The premier, as leader of our country, must take responsibility for what is happening and stop hiding behind the governor saying he is responsible for the police.

History has shown us that governors come and go, enjoying our Islands and all the perks that come with the office in a colony, basically living the life of royalty.

They quickly and brazenly trade in their rides on the London tube for tinted chauffeur driven Land Rovers and produce no results in the areas that they have responsibility for.

What policy initiative has this PDM Government introduced to reduce crime?

What measures have the Government taken to address the root cause of the wave of gun crimes that are taking place?

Let’s be honest with ourselves; there is an epidemic we are facing where our young people, mostly young men, in our country feel that they have been marginalised.

They are not getting good jobs or other opportunities for economic empowerment so they are resorting to a life of violence.

While we keep importing labour and having our people bypassed, whether they be Turks and Caicos Islanders or Turks and Caicos Islanders of Haitian descent, we should be working actively as a Government to secure opportunities for them.

What are we doing to reverse this alarming trend?

Even when they go to prison at such young ages they come back out as hardened criminals because there are no programmes designed to reform and rehabilitate them once incarcerated.

Here are five suggestions for the Government that they should embrace that could reverse the

MICHAEL MISICK criminal activity we are experiencing: 1) Establish a defence force and make it mandatory for young people between the ages of 18 and 25 to serve at least a year and/or a few months a year as part of a national service.

Exemption could be made for those who decide to go to college or who are working in steady jobs.

2) Invest in building a base on French Cay with holding facilities for any illegal immigrants.

Invest in buying a substantial gun boat that can patrol our waters 24/7.

In fact consideration should be given to ceasing all sea travel between Turks and Caicos and Haiti until we can fully arrest this problem in our country.

3) Restrict the issuance of work permits in certain areas and stop the practice by the PDM Government of allowing foreigners to get business licences in the reserve category of businesses.

Use the jobs and business opportunities that are being created

PNP ratifies all elected 2020 candidates ALL candidates selected by their constituencies during the ‘Super Tuesday’ primary elections have been ratified.

The ratification process took place last Saturday, October 12, during a special National Congress of the Progressive National Party (PNP) at Progress House in Providenciales.

Ratification is the action of signing or giving formal consent to the candidates, officially making them valid contenders in

the 2020 general elections.

All island district candidates (at large) are Hon. Charles Washington Misick - party leader; E Jay Saunders deputy leader; Hon. Josephine Connolly; Jamell Robinson and Shaun Malcolm.

“We congratulate all candidates selected and look forward to victory with your support come election day,” a PNP statement read.

to empower our people, especially our youth.

4) Establish a gun amnesty programme with a gun buyback policy to get illegal weapons off the streets. And create stiffer penalties for gun related crimes.

5) Establish the main central police station Downtown in the building that houses the public library.

Establish sub-stations in all of the communities in Providenciales with police officers doing foot patrols and other community policing initiatives.

Hire an extra 100 police officers from the Turks and Caicos Islands and pay them and the existing officers properly with suitable benefits commensurate to the work they are required to do.

These are just five recommendations for starters that can immediately change the landscape on the ground.

I don’t believe bringing in more foreign police is the answer. The root cause of the problem needs to be addressed and we have adequate resources within to tackle this problem.

I call on the premier to stop hiding behind this ‘Instagram Star Governor’ who is more concerned about getting likes than getting the job done.

The people of the Turks and Caicos Islands voted for you to lead, not for you to follow and be a

backside kisser of the governor.

If you are unable or unwilling to do your job and to fulfil your mandate, then do the honourable thing and resign.

The silence of the people’s elected leader, Premier Cartwright Robinson, is deafening.

Whenever there is an issue that has grave consequences for our country she is nowhere to be heard.

True to form in this regard is that we have yet to hear from her on the issuance of (or to be issued) close to 200 citizenship statuses.

There is nothing at all to be heard from this inept Government on any of these serious and vexing matters.

She has earned the reputation as the ‘I can’t premier’. Either she is lazy or incompetent or a mixture of both.

I call on the Government to do something to resolve this crime issue or resign. I am sure there are others out there who may have a plan and the courage to save our country before it is too late.

retire.

One minute Washy says Mike is reckless but the next Mike is his chief advisor, upstaging him every chance he gets.

It’s obvious to everyone that Washy did not have an issue with the status commission and the work to be performed by the commission until Mike issued his own release against the process.

We need a strong, less emotive and knee jerk leader who sees the bigger picture; in this case to protect the people by making sure they are involved.

We need a leader who will tell the people to write to the

commission and object if they feel anyone on the list should not receive TCI status, or if there are facts that even police background checks will not find.

This time we, the people, are empowered. As a people, we must not just write on social media and grumble in our corner, we must take the time to write to the commission.

We need a leader whose words and actions can be trusted. Not one who is afraid to stand up to his brother Mike and explain the process to those who might not understand.

PNP formally demands resignation of Status Commission appointees

BY DELANA ISLES THE GOVERNOR has officially confirmed the appointments of six members to the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Commission.

The formal appointment was made on October 9 by Governor Nigel Dakin and takes effect from January 1, 2020.

Those appointed are Paul Harvey as chairman; with the following members Patrease Thomas, Barbara Hamilton, Ricardo Donhue Gardiner and Selvyn Hawkins.

The attorney general or her representative will serve as an ex-officio member of the commission.

Shortly after the names of the members were first revealed last week, Leader of the Opposition Washington Misick called for the resignation of the members appointed by the Progressive National Party (PNP).

The Weekly News can confirm that the party has made good on this promise; making a formal demand for Gardiner and Hawkins to resign during a special National Congress held on Saturday, October 12, at the party’s Providenciales headquarters.

From our information, one of the two members have pushed back against the call for resignation, and up to press time, neither of the two have resigned from the commission.

Problems with the body were first raised by ex-premier, former leader of PNP and current corruption accused, Michael Misick.

This was swiftly followed by his brother and current leader of the party, Washington Misick calling their appointees to resign.

The former premier’s contention is that the mandate of the commission will only serve to disenfranchise the native population by ensuring a large number of British expatriates the right to vote and work like a local within the territory.

Defending his reasons for calling for the members he appointed to resign, the current PNP leader said there is no population policy in place.

The Government has completely ignored the furore stirred up by the Misick brothers with regard to the commission’s appointment, declining comment on the issue when contacted by the Weekly News.

Gardiner and Hawkins have two more months to decide whether they will comply with the formal demands for resignation by the PNP. If all of the appointments remain, and the commission gathers for its first meeting in January 2020, they will begin the long process of reviewing 160 applications for the grant of Turks Islander Status.

Invest TCI to host economic conference THIS November Invest Turks and Caicos will be hosting its second annual economic conference and first national conference in the TCI. The one day, invite only event will allow participants from the public and private sectors to discuss the future of the territory’s financial services industry.

It will be hosted under the theme, ‘Financial services – Building block of a strong diversified economy’ and held at Beaches Resort Village and Spa on November 8.

The conference will be divided into two parts, with speeches held in the morning and afternoon breakout sessions.

Keynote speaker Lorna Smith is founder and chief executive officer of LGS and Associates, and interim executive director of BVI Finance.

The afternoon sessions will provide engaging and enlightening discussions around the industry.

They will be facilitated by seasoned industry representatives who will lead the discussion and spark debate on the direction of financial services in the TCI. Key points of the discussion will be recorded and lead to the development of an action plan.

An October 9 press release from Invest TCI said: “This conference will bring together the Financial Services Commission, the private sector including bankers, lawyers, company managers, accountants and Government to debate various topics.”

Topics will include “why should we grow the financial services sector, what is in it for the nation, and how do we grow the sector to benefit the citizens of this nation and secure good quality employment

Lorna Smith, founder and chief executive officer of LGS and Associates, will be the keynote speaker

opportunities?”

In 2018, a Government report prepared by an international consultancy team concluded that the TCI needed to diversify its economy and create more good quality professional employment opportunities for its citizens.

It also said it needed to leverage the considerable national cost of being compliant with international regulations and needed to invest in the financial services industry.

The conference is by invitation only. Anyone who would like to receive an invitation can contact Trina Adams-Smith at tadamssmith@investturksandcaicos. tc or Hezron Henry at hhenry@ investturksandcaicos.tc with a brief explanation of reasons for attending.

Invest Turks and Caicos is the TCI’s investment promotion agency, responsible for enhancing the economy through the attraction, growth and retention of overseas investment, and supporting the growth of local businesses.

It provides a free and confidential service to overseas businesses looking to expand and will work with a company project team throughout the investment process, providing advice and support.

The Invest TCI team also works actively to support the growth of local businesses, including the management and delivery of the micro small and medium enterprise programme which provides concessions and relief to locally owned businesses.

New publishing company Cyril and Dorsie opens its doors FOUNDED by Tatiana Handfield, a local author and high school English language/literature teacher, Cyril and Dorsie Publishing made its grand debut last month at a public book fair.

Held on September 14 at the Providenciales public library, the fair saw many people attending.

The new publishing company invited attendees to check out its newest literary products and services offered.

On display were the Turks and Caicos Islands WordSearch Puzzle Book: Historical Sites and Attractions Edition and Merilla City: Rising Tides (children’s book).

Handfield told the Weekly News that she is very passionate

about developing a reading culture in which young people can see themselves, their culture and history being vibrantly represented.

Moreover, she enjoys teaching young people to experiment and develop their own craft through short creative writing and art camps.

She also revealed that the name of the company is representative of her grandparents, Mr Cyril ‘Fee’ Forbes (deceased) and Mrs Dorsie Forbes, both of whom have a rich history.

Handfiled said she hopes to show respect to those Turks and Caicos Islanders who have made significant contributions to the development of the territory in the past by immortalising and revitalising their accomplishments through

storytelling and publication.

Accordingly, the company’s motto is, ‘Telling the stories of the Turks and Caicos Islands one page at a time’.

“It is the aim of Cyril and Dorsie Publishing to research, create, produce and publish quality literature focusing on the unique knowledge and history surrounding the Turks and Caicos Islands while reenergising a passionate appreciation for reading and literature amongst local readers,” the local author said.

The company was the recent recipient of an investment from Invest Turks and Caicos, which Handfield said also assisted her in further technical needs.

“We are proud and grateful for

Owner and founder of Cyril and Dorsie Publishing, Tatiana Handfield with another book lover at last month’s book fair

THE SALT CAY NOTE

‘I never broke’ A tribute to Lionel Talbot, fisherman par excellence

BEFORE you meet Lionel Talbot, better known to his friends and the entire country as ‘Unkie’ or ‘Uncle Line’, you meet his laugh.

Shrill and hysterically funny, this is a laugh you can hear from miles away. And once you hear it, you know Unkie is holding court in the fish shack at Deane’s Dock (the Salt Cay harbour).

When he’s not having his

BY TITUS DE BOER morning banter with his fellow Titus was born in Hamburg Saltans, he goes fishing. Fishing and has lived in the Turks and is Lionel’s life.

Caicos Islands since 1989.

“I am always fishing,” he He works as a general business consultant and has been based exclaims with a beaming smile, in Salt Cay since 2016. “and so I never broke. Never!”

When the conversation turns to fishing, Lionel doesn’t display any false modesty- nor should he.

The self-proclaimed ‘King of the Tunas’ (an accolade coined after a recent, exceedingly successful catch) has caught it all, seen it all and yes, been lost at sea several times in his quest for that next great catch.

Engine trouble. “I’ve had to sleep on Cotton Cay and then row back to Salt Cay the next day”, he explains without great pathos.

“Another time I was adrift for an entire night and was helped by some South Caicos fishermen. That was off Six Hill Cay.” “I’ve been working since I was four”, says the 69-year-old Unkie.

“Back then we used to help our daddy collect vanilla yarn on Cotton Cay for rope making and then once I was 10, me and my brother would work with our father making ropes.”

When he wasn’t making ropes, young Lionel would fish for conch, “which we would sell to the Haitian boats that came here regularly in those days”. And then he went to sea.

Like so many Turks Islanders of previous generations (including his father and brother), Lionel Talbot became a seaman. That was in 1970.

He was 20-years-old.

“I saw a lot of the world, especially around Asia and Europe.”

Memories of his favourite places are shared (material for a follow up column- or not), “I really liked Amsterdam!”

In 1996 his seafaring career ended. It was time to come home, for good.

So, what’s Uncle Line’s idea of a good day on Salt Cay? “A good catch!” answers everyone’s favourite uncle and hastens to add: “Every day is a good for me, God keeps me alive and I am grateful for that.”

And with that he turns to his grandnephew Ranfurly and the two return to their favourite subject. Fishing.

Several generous businesses and individuals prepared a wonderful variety of nutritious and delicious food and drink

Breakfast charity hosts healthy food fair FOOD for Thought held a food fair at Long Bay High School on Wednesday (October 16) to promote healthy diets and encourage students to try different kinds of cuisine.

Several generous businesses and individuals prepared a wonderful variety of nutritious and delicious food and drink which the students enjoyed sampling.

Food for Thought co-founder Jeanne Savory said: “We are very grateful to those who contributed to the food fair.

“Healthy diets and lifestyles are so important in order to combat both undernutrition and obesity.”

The event was held to commemorate the UN’s World Food Day, which was held this

year under the theme, ‘Our actions are our future. Healthy diets for a #zerohunger world.’

Food for Thought is holding various events and activities throughout the week, including a public food drive and school video competition.

It will all finish with the charity’s fourth annual brunch on Sunday (October 20) at Mango Reef in Providenciales.

Last year’s event raised over $17,000 for the charity’s breakfast and food bank programmes.

Savory said of this week’s food drive: “We could not have hosted this successful event without Simita, our fantastic operations and marketing manager.

“Our particular thanks to Mrs Whiskey-John and her team at Long Bay High School for hosting the event.

“Enormous thanks also to Bay Bistro, Grace Bay Club, The Patty Place, Nutrition in Demand, Tropical Taste, Sandbox, Health Promotions and Advocacy Unit, Rotaract, Flamingo Pharmacy, Joan Connolly Gregg, Charlotte Harvey, Meghann Kruck, who donated their time, effort, and all of the amazing food, and to our brilliant Food for Thought volunteers Jessica and Deb.” For more information on Food for Thought visit foodforthoughttci.com or contact info@foodforthoughttci. com or 242-FEED.

Eleventh annual In the Pink cancer charity event was a huge success

Massive turnout for TCI’s biggest cancer charity event

BY OLIVIA ROSE THE PALMS Turks and Caicos came alive once again with different hues of pink, as patrons from all walks of life turned out in their numbers at the mega charity event.

The annual ‘In the Pink’ charity fundraiser proved a huge success again this year as people from across

the territory celebrated a worthy cause.

The event which is now in its 11th year, raised money for TCI’s National Cancer Society and played host to a shopping frenzy, a Pink Poker Tournament sponsored by CasaBlanca Casino and a lavish after party where Prime DJ’s rocked the Palms’ courtyard.

With donations from the corporate community and generous donors, the team transformed the Palms Hotel and Spa into a pink spectacle.

During the well-attended event, patrons snagged excellent bargains on a variety of new and gently used clothing, shoes, accessories and many designer items.

After the shopping and other formalities, the fiesta continued with a jiving after party in the elegantly pink-accessorised courtyard.

The party included live music and delightfully dressed bartenders who served up themed cocktails.

This year, the event also featured collectors’ items and brand name pieces from former United States

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

All proceeds will be donated to the National Cancer Society which is dedicated to treating and eliminating cancer in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The organisation is the TCI’s leading advocacy body that works every day to make the disease a national priority.

Blue Hills church celebrates 50 years THE CHURCH of God of Prophecy in Blue Hills celebrated its 50th anniversary on October 12 with a week of events and activities for the whole family.

Celebrations began on the weekend of October 5 with a community walkabout, a morning prayer meeting, a divine worship service and a grand gospel concert.

Then during the week of the anniversary, the church hosted a night of history, a Bible quiz and trivia night, and an evangelistic outreach street meeting.

A night of brass featured original and existing members of the TCI Brass Band and the Church of God of Prophecy Brass Band.

The church held a motorcade and funfair, followed by a family enrichment seminar with host presenter Bishop Roger Ball PhD from New York.

And to round off the celebrations on Sunday, October 13, there was an official anniversary service and a gala banquet at the Shore Club in Long Bay. The Church of God of Prophecy, affectionately called the ‘Jumper’ church, has been in the TCI for nearly 100 years, with its first mission established in Kew in North Caicos.

In 1961 the church established a mission, under the leadership of Brother James Calvin William

for Blue Hills, which engaged in house to house visitations and street meetings.

As the mission grew, permission was granted to use the school building on Bay Road for regular church services.

Bishop Isaiah Whyms was the TCI’s colonial district overseer and appointed Brother James Williams as the leader and Sister Nanless Taylor as the secretary of the Blue Hills mission.

About three months before the dedication of the Church of God of Prophecy in Blue Hills, the national overseer of the Bahamas and the TCI, the late Bishop Alvin Moss JP, CBE, received information from Brother James Williams of Providenciales and Bishop Isaiah Whyms that the church building in Blue Hills was ready for dedication and church organisation.

On January 23, 1963, the groundbreaking ceremony was held, which officially established the first Church of God of Prophecy on the island of Providenciales.

Bishop Isaiah Whyms laid the corner stone.

On Sunday, October 12, 1969, the Church of God of Prophecy, Blue Hills, building was dedicated.

Bishop Moss recorded his greetings and sent Evangelist Clarence Williams to represent him in the capacity of the national

overseer.

He asked him to implement the following: the dedication of the church building, to organise the local church, to appoint and install Brother James Williams as the local pastor and to ordain Brother James Williams as a minister of the gospel.

The past and present national overseers of the Church of God of Prophecy, TCI, were Bishop Stanley Ferguson, Minister James Musgrove,

Bishop Alvin Moss, JP, CBE, Bishop Simeon Handfield, Bishop Isaiah Wynns, Bishop Franklyn Williams, MBE, Bishop Clarence Williams and Bishop Clayton Martin.

The senior pastors of the Church of God of Prophecy, Blue Hills, were Pastor James C. Williams (1969 to 1984), Pastor Hoplyn Parker (1984 to 1985), Pastor Sally Williams (1985 to 1986), Pastor James Williams (1986 to 1995), Pastor Emmanuel Rigby (1995 to 1997),

Pastor James Williams (1997 to 2001) and Bishop Andrew Stone (2001 to present).

Many churches, ministries, ministers, pastors, evangelists and teachers have been birthed out of the Church of God of Prophecy, Blue Hills.

“We will continue to shine the light and love of Jesus Christ, as we serve the community of Blue Hills, letting people know that we care,” a press release from the church read.

Facilitator Dr Dawn O’Sullivan interacts with students during the workshop

Pupils from Oseta Jolly Primary School observe International Day of the Girl Child

Dr Dawn O’Sullivan, Ms Rachel and Ms Davia teach students about gender equality, their bodies and the power of choices

Members of team Outreach Turks and Caicos with facilitators of the workshop

Students celebrate International Day of the Girl Child

BY OLIVIA ROSE YOUNG girls from Oseta Jolly Primary School learned how to deal with an array of gender issues this month, from equality to how to care for and respect their bodies.

On Friday, October 11, the international and local community commemorated International Day of the Girl Child.

The day aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.

In the TCI, Outreach Turks and Caicos along with members of the Harvest Bible Chapel and other charitable groups adopted a school to observe the day.

Female students from Oseta Jolly Primary School were applauded for their courage and intellect when they engaged in

an hour-long discussion with facilitators on topics affecting girls in today’s society.

During the discussion led

by Dr Dawn O’Sullivan, preadolescent girls were educated on their human rights and reminded that they are not too young to make a difference.

Dr O’Sullivan, who spoke to grades five and six (ages 10 to 12), told the Weekly News that it is crucial for girls to be informed about the world around them and the choices they have.

She said: “It was an absolute honour to be a part of this today. The theme for this year is ‘Power to the child’ and it is really important in the TCI because we still suffer with gender inequalities.

“Although many steps are being taken to bring the girls into line with pay and education and also laws to protect their bodies, it’s only when

the girls themselves feel empowered that any of these laws actually take effect.”

Members of the Harvest Bible Chapel, Ms Rachel and Ms Davia, who teamed up to administer lessons on good behaviour and positive choices to girls from grades three and four (ages eight to 10), echoed similar sentiments.

Ms Rachel said: “When they feel empowered they know what they need to protect themselves from.

“We were able to teach them about the influence of peer pressure and a lot of them will go through that in life, so we just let them know that ‘look, you have a way to say no or yes’.

She said they told the girls that they should only accept good influences from people and refuse the bad ones – and they let the girls know that they can be influencers themselves.

“So it was a good day for them to learn and to know that they are precious in God’s sight and that they have a right to their bodies and that they’re fearfully and wonderfully made.

“We even read them a Bible passage which says, ‘With God all things are possible’.”

Ms Davia said that during the lesson the girls participated in simulated scenarios where they learned about the subtlety of peer pressure.

“Like Rachel mentioned, we got them to speak about their influences and they did individual responses and a bit of group work with an ice breaker for them to bring out how they can be influenced.

“They spoke about positive and negative influences and some of them actually told us about the times they were negatively influenced, so we were able to share with them how

to avoid negative influences in the future,” she added.

At the end of the session, care packages and lunches were provided for the students compliments of Stephanie Duncanson and other members of Outreach Turks and Caicos.

Meanwhile, the Department of Gender Affairs in partnership with the Department of Social Development hosted activities within various primary and secondary schools to celebrate the day.

On Friday, October 11, an exhibition was held at Dillon Hall at St Mary’s Pro Cathedral.

While on Saturday, October 12, a girls’ workshop was held at the Salem Baptist’s Sunday School Hall, under the theme, ‘The lady in me’.

The young ladies were given an opportunity to engage in discussions on self-care, online violence, etiquette and much more.

Hurricane Dorian: Bahamas government offers guaranteed loans DEPUTY Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Peter Turnquest has announced that US$10 million will be taken from the Dormant Fund to help small businesses in Abaco and Grand Bahama which were impacted when Hurricane Dorian slammed into the two islands last month.

He said the Access Accelerator, Small Business Development Centre (SBDC), through the Ministry of Finance and private financial partners, is offering governmentguaranteed loans to micro, small and medium-sized (MSMEs) enterprises directly affected by Hurricane Dorian.

“Both Grand Bahama and Abaco represent some 18 per cent of our overall Gross Domestic Product and so it is in our interest and certainly significant for us to get them back and up and operating to as near normal as quickly as possible,” he said.

The $10 million will facilitate grants, loan guarantees and equity capital for entrepreneurs residing and displaced from Abaco and Grand Bahama.

Executive Director at the SBDC, Davinia Grant, explained that it is the goal of the Centre to continue serving those clients it had before the

storm while creating opportunities for other existing MSMEs to bounce back even better.

“I need to emphasise this. We will continue to take care of our existing clients. What is being discussed today is additional resources that have allocated by our government and our partnering financial institutions to help the 2,525 active

MSMEs across Abaco and Grand Bahama, employing approximately 4,000 people,” she said.

Grant said the government is providing US$5 million to guarantee up to US$6.7 million dollars in loans through the Clearing Banks Association.US$2 million will be given equity in partnerships and U$1.3 million in microloans and grants.

Haiti opposition rejects president’s assurances he will fight corruption HAITIAN President Jovenel Moise said on Tuesday he was making moves to end the country’s corrupt political and economic system, acknowledging one of the opposition’s demands yet failing to convince protesters, who again took to the streets.

Moise held a rare news conference at midday, rejecting calls for his resignation amid anger over alleged corruption by public officials, fuel shortages and rampant inflation that has fuelled five straight weeks of protests.

Instead, Moise said he was ending questionable contracts with businesses made under previous administrations, accusing the guardians and beneficiaries of the unfair system of preventing the country from moving forwards, without naming names.

He also said he would work on getting the country back in gear and planned on addressing the nation more frequently.

Haitians have complained of a leadership vacuum given Moise’s rare appearances during a crisis which has shuttered schools, businesses and public offices. The last time Moise spoke publicly was

“I have heard your cries in the streets,” said Moise, who has survived several waves of protests since taking office two and a half years ago, although this is the longest one.

The president said his resignation would not be the golden ticket to changing the corrupt system.

“Instead, it is necessary to sit down in order to discuss this.”

The opposition rejected his

assurances and calls for dialogue.

“Moise does not have the moral authority to attack the guardians of the system of exclusion that we are fighting today as his electoral campaign was financed by these people,” said opposition leader Andre Michel.

“We are all aware of the need to end this system ...(but) the solution of the crisis today requires above all the immediate resignation of Jovenel Moise.”

Trees that attract termites PART TWO DECIDUOUS trees are leafy trees that typically change colour or lose their leaves in the winter, per example the tropical almond tree or the royal poinciana (flamboyant tree).

Termites don’t just feast on certain types of deciduous trees, they also like to call them home.

They will build above ground nests in oaks or green buttonwood trees that are alive and well.

Eventually, they’ll been munching away on dry or dead parts of the tree as the colony grows.

No matter what species a tree is, if it’s rotted or dead it’s a prime target for termites. Even a dead branch is enough to attract hungry termites looking for an easy meal.

All termites prefer dead and rotting trees because they are very easy to chew through and get to the cellulose.

If you leave a stump in your yard, it’s like sending termites an invitation to move in.

When trees show signs of damage or rotting you should investigate immediately to find the cause and take action.

Remove any portions of a tree that are dried out since this will be the spot termites attack first.

People are concerned about spreading wood mulch over their garden in fear it will attract termites to their house.

Mulch creates a moist cool area on top of the soil, plants love this as it protects their roots and keeps them moist.

Insects also love this environment and tend to thrive in a moist cool area. Among these insects are many which are beneficial for the garden, however termites also enjoy this cool moist environment.

But mulch does not attract insects (including termites) like a magnet.

And so many times I hear people saying that scaevola attract termites, but they do not hear it or see it or smell it and come running for it.

Rather the insects which are already present in your soil wander into the scaevola bushes on their travels and like the moist cool environment and so decide to stay there.

Actually I like scaevola - it is used as a hedge plant and it is a fantastic plant for erosion control, very tolerant to salt air and drought.

And on a personal note, I think it is a very attractive plant.

So rather than cutting down all your fruit trees, flamboyant trees and scaevola, why don’t you do termite control by simply contacting specialist.

In the long run, you will probably save a lot of money, you will have all the beautiful plants in your garden, and you will sleep better.

Brexit: EU and UK reach deal but DUP refuses support A BREXIT deal has been agreed between the UK and EU before a meeting of European leaders in Brussels.

Boris Johnson and Jean-Claude Juncker called it a “fair” outcome and the EU Commission President said there was no need to extend the Brexit deadline.

He said: “We have a deal so why should we have a prolongation.”

This will be a boost for the PM, but he still faces a battle to get the deal through Parliament on Saturday, with the DUP opposing it.

Mr Johnson urged MPs to “come together” and “get this excellent deal over the line”.

He added: “Now is the moment for us to get Brexit done and then together work on building our future partnership, which I think can be incredibly positive both for the UK and for the EU.” Brexit should happen “without any more delay”, he added, so that the government could turn its attentions to domestic priorities.

The prime minister has repeatedly insisted the UK will leave the EU on 31 October - he could yet be forced to ask for an extension but it will be up to the leaders of the 27 member states - not Jean-Claude Juncker whether to grant one.

The two sides worked round-theclock on the legal text of the deal, but it will still need the approval of both the UK and European parliaments.

In a statement, the Democratic

Boris Johnson and JeanClaude Juncker called it a “fair” outcome - and the EU Commission President said there was no need to extend the Brexit deadline.

Unionist Party, which the government relies on for support in key votes, said: “These proposals are not, in our view, beneficial to the economic well-being of Northern Ireland and they undermine the integrity of the Union.”

It added: “Saturday’s vote in Parliament on the proposals will only be the start of a long process to get any Withdrawal Agreement Bill through the House of Commons.”

Most of the deal is the same as the one agreed by Theresa May last year - the main change is the Northern Ireland proposal.

• The UK will continue to abide by EU rules until the end of 2020, and possibly longer, to allow businesses to adjust • The UK will still pay an estimated £33bn “divorce bill”

• The rights of EU citizens living in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU, will be guaranteed What’s changed?

• Northern Ireland will be aligned to the EU single market • The controversial “backstop” that critics feared could have kept the UK in a customs union with the EU indefinitely - has been removed • Northern Ireland will instead remain a part of the UK’s customs territory, so it will be included in any future trade deals struck by the government after Brexit • But Northern Ireland will also remain an entry point into the EU’s customs zone. The UK will not apply tariffs to products entering Northern Ireland as long as they are not destined for onward transportation across the border • A joint EU/UK committee will decide which goods are at risk of entering the single market and the UK will collect EU tariffs on them on behalf of the EU • The Northern Ireland Assembly which has been suspended since January 2017 - will get a vote every four years on whether to continue with the new trading arrangements • The decision would be based on a simple majority, rather than requiring a majority of both unionists and nationalists to support the rules in order for them to pass

Catalan protests: Region’s president pushes for second vote THE president of Spain’s Catalonia region has said he will push for a new independence referendum, as protests continued into a fourth day.

Quim Torra said another independence vote should go ahead within two years.

He has condemned violence which saw protesters clash with riot police after nine separatist leaders were jailed for their role in a failed push for independence.

At least ninety-six people have been hurt across the region.

Demonstrators were detained in Barcelona, Lleida, Tarragona and Girona on Wednesday night as the protests spread across Spain’s north-east region.

Protesters have reportedly been using an app known as Tsunami Democràtic, which directs them to protest sites in Catalan cities.

The Spanish authorities say they are investigating who is coordinating the disruption. Mr Torra blamed “infiltrators” but government spokeswoman Isabel Celaá described

Evidence of the violence from the night before was clear in the centre of Barcelona on Thursday.

those instigating the violence as “coordinated young Catalans” whose actions were not improvised.

Barricades were set alight and petrol bombs thrown as riots gripped the centre of Barcelona.

Speaking in the Catalan parliament, Mr Torra said that the sentences handed

down to Catalan leaders would not stop a second vote from going ahead.

“We’ll return to the ballot box again on self-determination. If all parties and groups make it possible, we have to be able to finish this legislative term by validating independence,” he said.

Starbucks is the second US-branded fast food business currently operating in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It is located in Margaritaville at the Grand Turk cruise port

Starbucks is now here, TCI IT’S official, the famous Starbucks coffee shop is now in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Located in Margaritaville at the cruise port centre in Grand Turk, the store threw open its

doors to locals and visitors on Tuesday (October 15).

This location is intended to the first of its kind in the TCI, a press statement from Starbucks and Caribbean Coffee Traders indicated.

According to the statement, the store represents the company’s 81st market globally, and 20th market in Latin America and Caribbean, marking an important milestone for the global coffee

brand’s Caribbean operations.

Marking the occasion was Tim Grever, director of operations for Starbucks’ Caribbean markets.

“We are delighted to open our first store in the tropical and exotic island of Turks and Caicos,” he said.

“We are confident that along with Caribbean Coffee Traders Ltd, we will deliver a unique an exceptional coffee experience for Turks and Caicos Islanders, one that truly showcases our deep passion for some of the best coffees from around the world, while honouring the local culture.”

The café offers customers an inviting destination to relax, unwind and connect, and features a cafe design that is unique to the island.

On offer for coffee lovers are the commonly known range of Starbucks signature beverages and food, including Starbucks ethically sourced, 100 percent Arabica coffee.

Ian Dear, chairman of the Margaritaville Caribbean

Group, said: “This milestone demonstrates our commitment and enthusiasm for the region and our optimism for the opportunities ahead.

“We are excited to become the island’s hub for coffee, connection and community.”

CREATING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS The press release reads: “Starbucks has a long commitment of investing in the communities it serves worldwide.

“On October 12, Starbucks partners [employees] in Grand Turk had their very first community initiative, which consisted of partnering with the Health Promotion and Advocacy Unit of Grand Turk, falling under the umbrella group of the Ministry of Health, Agriculture and Human Services.”

It added that Starbucks employees, along with volunteers from the Ministry of Health, participated in a day of service which consisted

of cleaning up the community surroundings, as well as providing refreshments to residents in the area.

“Starbucks has long term plans to harness awareness of the work done by the Health Promotion and Advocacy Unit on the island, showing its commitment to aiding the communities in which it serves,” the release said.

A UNIQUE STORE EXPERIENCE The cafe will offer locals and tourists a feel of the true Starbucks experience through a unique customer service and Starbucks range of signature beverages and food offerings.

These offerings include ecoffees from around the world, such as the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions.

For those who are curious and haven’t yet visited the coffee shop, here’s a snippet of what you can expect of the decor: “The stunning pink exterior keeps the authentic Caribbean feel of the café, where the indoor palette was kept light to keep the tropical theme.

“The back of the store features a mural, handpainted by artist Maria Camila Bernal Toro of Remedios Art, showing the Siren - a Starbucks icon - with her double-tail bent underwater.

“The artist recreated the Siren to evoke the same tranquillity and pleasure so many travellers in the past were rumoured to search for among the sea.

“Using a chromatic composition which was inspired by the natural coral and mystic of the island, the Siren inspires peace and warmth - recreating the history of Starbucks in a contemporary and tropical language.”

“As we reflect on our heritage, our legacy is one in which we have immense pride; pride that is palpable in our speech, our cuisine, our music, and the warm welcome that we give to all who reach our shores.

“On this day we honour those on whose shoulders we stand and whose

strength and resilience we are rooted in.

“They have passed on a great legacy that we as Turks and Caicos Islanders will continue to pridefully uphold.”

Union defends husband Wade for referring to his son Zion as a girl on social media GABRIELLE Union could be step mommy of the year.

The actress and “America’s Got Talent” judge clapped back at social media trolls who scrutinized her husband’s comment about one of their children.

NBA star Dwayne Wade shared a photo of Union, their daughter, Kaavia, and Wade’s son, Zion (from a previous relationship) on social media with the words “My girls” followed by two heart emojis.

Some Twitter users weighed in on Wade’s choice of gender noun — referring to his son as a girl after a Twitter user named @madiithedoll posed the question: “What y’all think about this?”

As can be expected, much anti-LGTBQ+ chatter ensued.

But the “Being Mary Jane” actress, who boasts 4.15 million followers, offered a quick comeback.

“Looks like love to me, she responded. “I truly hope that everyone gets the love, support and hugs they deserve.

In June, 12-year old Zion Malachi Airamis Wade attended the Miami Pride parade with Union, who married Wade in 2014. The NAACP Image Award winner danced and rode a float with Zion during the festival and shared her own photos on Instagram.

On the road with the Miami Heat in Toronto, Wade

encouraged the courageous act of youthful liberation by posting on Instagram, “We support each other with pride!”

“I don’t really talk about it much because it’s Zion’s story to tell,” Wade later said in an interview with Variety. “I think as a family, we should support each other. That’s our job. And my job as a father is to facilitate their lives and to support them and be behind them in whatever they want to do.”

“Pat’s kindness, positivity, and generosity of spirit made a lasting impression with everyone he met.”

Day was taken from the ring on a stretcher after the conclusion of the fight on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight victory over Chazz Witherspoon in the US. “Patrick Day didn’t need to box,” the statement from DiBella Entertainment continued. “He came from a good family, he was smart, educated, had good values and had

other avenues available to him to earn a living.

“He chose to box, knowing the inherent risks that every fighter faces when he or she walks into a boxing ring. Boxing is what Pat loved to do.

It’s how he inspired people and it was something that made him feel alive.”

Fellow American Conwell, 21, wrote an emotional letter to Day following the fight.

“I never meant this to happen to you, all I wanted to do was win,” he said.

“If I could take it all back, I would.

No-one deserves this to happen to them.”

Day won 17 of his 22 fights, with four defeats and one draw.

In July, Russia’s Maxim Dadashev and Argentina’s Hugo Santillan both died following injuries sustained during fights.

“It becomes very difficult to explain away or justify the dangers of boxing at a time like this,” the statement continued.

“This is not a time where edicts

or pronouncements are appropriate, or the answers are readily available.

It is, however, a time for a call to action.

“While we don’t have the answers, we certainly know many of the questions, have the means to answer them, and have the opportunity to respond responsibly and accordingly and make boxing safer for all who participate.

“This is a way we can honour the legacy of Pat Day. Many people live much longer than Patrick’s 27 years, wondering if they made a difference or positively affected their world.

This was not the case for Patrick Day when he left us.”

Boxing announcer Michael Buffer was among the first to pay tribute to Day, describing him as a “wonderful young man”, before adding “everyone in the boxing community is crushed”.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said boxing had lost a “brave, kind and wonderful friend”.

KENYA’S Brigid Kosgei eclipsed the 16-year-old women’s marathon world record held by Britain’s Paula Radcliffe as she retained her Chicago title.

The 25-year-old recorded a time of two hours 14 minutes 04 seconds, easily inside Radcliffe’s mark of 2:15:25 set at the London Marathon in 2003.

It adds to the Kenyan’s win in London this year when she clocked 2:18:20 and became the youngest winner of the race.

Ethiopa’s Ababel Yeshaneh was second in Chicago, six minutes 47 seconds behind.

Only 22 runners in the men’s race finished faster than Kosgei, whose time would have been a men’s world record in 1964.

The Kenyan, who won last year in 2:18:35, admitted: “I am feeling good and happy because I was not expecting to run like this.”

Radcliffe’s 2003 time was the longest-standing marathon world record by either men or women in

the post-war era.

The former world champion was at the finish line in Chicago to witness Kosgei’s remarkable performance and was among the first to congratulate her.

“When I saw how fast Brigid was running in the first half I knew it was going to be broken,” said Radcliffe.

Ethiopa’s Gelete Burka completed the top three in Chicago on Sunday with a time of 2:20:51.

Meanwhile, Switzerland’s Manuela Schar retained her wheelchair title, finishing 30 seconds faster than last year in 1:41.08.

Her performance in London, where she ran the quickest ever second half of a race after a slow start, gave indications of what she was capable of and she certainly set out with the intention of going fast today. The first 5km made us sit up.

It actually looked too ambitious at the beginning but she didn’t really slow down. This is an incredible new benchmark. If that stood for 20 years I wouldn’t be surprised.
