Governor dispels claims of a ‘hidden agenda’ GOVERNOR Nigel Dakin has announced that he has deliberately waived his right to influence any aspect of the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Commission.

He said his intention is to be “hugely transparent” and he recognises the “sensitivity of the issue”.

The governor’s remarks follow a slew of allegations levelled against him by embattled former premier Michael Misick.

Misick in a strongly worded statement on Wednesday (October 2) accused Dakin of proposing to suspend the citizenship quota in favour of granting Islander status to more than 160 non-natives.

He called him a “wolf in sheep's clothing” and accused him of having a “hidden agenda”.

The governor in response to his Misick’s claims issued a statement of his own just hours later.

“I noted Michael Misick’s commentary today giving credit to the governor alone for standing up - after many years of inaction – the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Commission.

“This was reported in the most recent Cabinet minutes.”

He said the commission was established by law under the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Ordinance 2015, and all involved in the Government recognise that its appointment is long overdue.

“The reason so many people now have applications for Islander status, as allowed through the ordinance, is because the commission has not been appointed,” he said.

“Had the commission been set up there would have been only a

small number of applications each year; instead there is a significant number who not only deserve to be considered but have a lawful right to be considered.”

He said that informed observers will note that of the seven member commission, two members were nominated by Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson and two members nominated by Opposition leader Washington Misick.

“As a new governor, recognising the sensitivity of this issue to Turks and Caicos Islanders, and believing that it’s for the Islanders alone to make these decisions, I actively chose to waive my right to appoint a chair if the premier and the leader of the Opposition could agree on a chair, which they have and who I was delighted to appoint.

“It is worth saying that I had no sight of the list of names of those seeking Islander status until today; when a leaked list was circulated.”

The governor revealed that he is only privy to information on people who would have already been endorsed by the commission.

“The governor only knows of those who have secured a recommendation for Islander status once the commission has made their determination; a commission staffed exclusively by Islanders,” he said.

“The facts stand in sharp contrast to the commentary Michael Misick has suggested but his comments do sit entirely consistently with the narrative he wishes to portray.

“As for the rest of Michael Misick’s comments on my motives and my nature I trust the public to make their own informed decisions.

My intention is to be hugely

transparent so they can be.”

Governor Dakin said as a member of the Cabinet he stands collectively in support of the establishment of the commission.

“Through the policy of now demonstrating that those who fulfil strict criteria for Islander status have the opportunity to truly belong to the Islands.

“The decisions will be made by Islanders; the governor not only has no control over the process, but has deliberately given up his opportunity to influence any aspect of the commission’s work.

“Finally I congratulate the leadership of both political parties for finding consensus that this process should proceed.”

Governor Nigel Dakin says his intention is to be “hugely transparent”

Drive-by shooting leaves woman injured A FORTY-three-year old woman was shot in the back during a driveby shooting outside of a popular convenience store in Blue Hills, Providenciales, on Monday evening (September 30).

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the violent incident which left one person injured and residents petrified.

Eyewitnesses told the Weekly News that the victim and other customers tried to take cover when assailants driving a small black Nissan car opened fire on Bay Road at about 7.30pm.

A man, who partially witnessed the frightening ordeal, said he was

just about to exit his car when he heard gunshots ringing out and quickly threw his body across his car seat.

“As soon as I was about to put my foot down and come out of my car I heard this loud noise and I knew right away it was gunshots so I just plunged my body back down in the seat.

“Shortly after they drove away I came out of my car to see what happened and then I noticed the woman was hit.”

The man, who asked to remain anonymous, said gun-violence in the community is becoming unbearable and “scary”.

“Every day is something else

in Blue Hills. Only last week there was about two robberies around the next corner. You can’t even go to the corner store in peace.

“The Government really have to get this under control,” the man stressed.

Police officers and emergency medical technicians were dispatched to Bay Road shortly after the shooting.

The injured woman was taken to the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre in an ambulance and her condition was listed as stable up to press time.

Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-800-8477. (By Olivia Rose)

Former premier leaks list of Islander status applications Michael Misick angrily blasts appointment of TCI Status Commission

BY DELANA ISLES A FOUR page list purporting to contain the names of applicants for Islander status was leaked to the public by ex-premier and corruption accused Michael Misick this week.

In a press release accompanying the list on Wednesday (October 3), Misick blasted Governor Nigel Dakin for assumed malfeasance.

The former leader accused him of “sneakily” attempting to steal the territory’s “democracy” by appointing the long awaited TC Islander Status Commission to debate applications.

However the members of the commission were all selected by the premier, the Opposition and the immigration minister.

Misick said the British appointed governor is trying to steal the natives’ birth right through the expansion of the voting franchise to include British citizens through the “back door”.

By “back door”, the former premier is referencing the Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) recommendations which called for voting rights to be extended

to British citizens living in British overseas territories.

And the United Kingdom’s subsequent response that they will continue to impress upon governments in the territories the importance of allowing people who permanently live there the ability to vote.

Misick stated that the governor is “pushing for the establishment of a citizenship committee... to grant over 160 Belonger status to mostly young British citizens that live and work in the Turks and Caicos Islands as lawyers, accountants and within other professions”.

An excerpt from the governor’s response to Misick’s press release stated that the reason so many people now have applications for Islander status, as allowed through the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Ordinance 2015, is because the commission had not been appointed.

“Had the commission been set up there would have been only a small number of applications each year; instead there is a significant number who not only deserve to be considered but have a lawful right to be considered,” he said.

Robbers force man to withdraw $1,000 from ATM THREE armed men entered a Blue Hills apartment early on Wednesday morning (October 2) and abducted the resident inside.

A report from the police press office said the 47-year-old complainant was in his home on Millennium Highway at about 2am when the men entered and demanded money.

They took $500 from the man’s wallet before forcibly taking him into his grey Toyota car to an ATM to withdraw $1,000.

The culprits then drove with the man further into Blue Hills where they robbed a restaurant

manager at gunpoint, taking an undisclosed amount of cash.

A female staff member was assaulted by the culprits who left with her purse, the police statement said.

The culprits then drove along Millennium Highway onto Bay Road and escaped on foot into nearby bushes.

The 47-year-old man who was left inside of the grey Toyota car was unharmed.

Anyone with information into this incident can call Crime Stoppers on 1-800- 8477 anonymously.

“WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING” Misick also lamented that by virtue of who he represents, that Dakin “cannot” have the best interests of Turks and Caicos Islanders or the Turks and Caicos Islands at heart.

He also suggested that the governor is actively working to hoodwink native Islanders, and said some appear to be falling for the ruse.

“While some of you are busy praising him at church and on Instagram, he is busy with his mostly English friends and supporters trying to undermine our country and our democracy by expanding our voting franchise through the back door.”

Misick also believes that the mandate of the commission will result in an “outrage of mass proportion” given the number people of British heritage that are contained in the leaked list of applicants.

“Every Turks and Caicos Islander from all walks of life, religion and political persuasions has to get involved, speak out and if need be have peaceful demonstration to prevent what is about to happen.

“This new governor is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, this has been a part of his hidden agenda all along.

“He is busy going around the Islands taking photo opportunity with vulnerable persons trying to steal the sense of the population.

“He masquerades on Instagram as a do-all cure-all but behind the scenes he is actively using his power to disenfranchise and dilute our local indigenous population.”

According to the former premier, there are already roadblocks to native Islanders getting good jobs

Former premier Michael Misick accused Governor Nigel Dakin of attempting to steal TCI’s democracy

and opportunities, and allowing British citizens the ability to apply for jobs that are set aside for only Islanders will only make life harder for natives.

He also lumped the Sharlene Cartwright Robinson’s Government together with the governor in the alleged attempt to disenfranchise Belongers even further.

“These people already control the economy, can you imagine if we sit idly by and allow the governor, assisted by the premier and her Government to rush and grant a block Islander status to the 160 mostly British citizens. This must be stopped.”

Misick goes on to accuse the governor of malfeasance: “What the governor propose to do is to suspend the law that provides for a quota until sometime 2020.

“In the meanwhile, he has asked

all British citizens that has a PRC for five years or more to be allowed to get automatic Turks and Caicos Island citizenship.”

He thereby called on the Government not to become complicit in the “arbitrary dilution of our rights and citizenship”, and on the opposition to fulfil their responsibility to speak out on this matter and not nominate any member to the commission.

The Turks and Caicos Islander Status Commission - appointed last week by Cabinet - will oversee a system whereby TC Islander status is granted to non-native people.

According to the ordinance: “The commission shall meet as often as is necessary or expedient for the discharge of its functions, and such meetings shall be held at such place, day and time as the chairman may determine.”

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is appealing to any member of public who may have any information on any crimes.

They can contact Chalk Sound Police Station on 338-5901 or make use of the confidential reporting system through Crimestoppers on 1-800-8477.

NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY A TEAM of experts - which comprised of visitors from the UK government, the US Coast Guard and the TCI prison - made presentations on illegal migration and violent crime at the latest meeting of the TCI National Security Council (NSC) in Providenciales on September 18.

As a result of that meeting, we can soon look forward to the delivery of the National Security Strategy, which has been approved in draft form.

What are your thoughts?

Why and who

TCI author’s debut book strikes a chord with readers worldwide

BY GEMMA HANDY A SOUL-BARING autobiography by a TCI author who wrote about the trauma of being rejected by his father has resonated with international audiences upon its official release.

Leo Lightbourne’s candid recollections of a painful childhood, encapsulated in his 120-page book, propelled him to a number one spot on online marketplace Amazon within hours of sales going live.

‘It’s Not a Man’s World’ went straight to the top of Kindle’s new releases in the single parenting category following its September 24 launch.

“I was watching the rankings online the day it was released. The next day I checked again when I got up and saw I was number one,” Lightbourne told the Weekly News.

“It feels great because my goal throughout this whole process has been to help people understand what’s going on in the minds of young males who don’t have fathers in our lives.

“To know other people are buying and reading my book is the biggest reward for me,” he said.

Lightbourne’s memoirs relate his journey from the days of dreaming of a family “like the Huxtables” in TV classic The Cosby Show, through harrowing school bullying, love, loss and insecurity, and finally into a place of self-healing.

Not only was penning his thoughts cathartic, the 28-year-old also hopes

to help other fatherless youngsters by triggering a national conversation about AWOL dads and the impact on the children they leave behind.

The autobiography details with unflinching honesty Lightbourne’s formative years in a South Caicos village where fatherless families were “so common it was normal”, a state he says belies the emotional ramifications often suffered by youngsters with an absent parent.

According to Unicef, as few as three in 10 children in some Caribbean islands live with both parents; the vast majority of single parent homes are headed by a female.

In addition to his own memories and observations, the book also incorporates Lightbourne’s research into the human mind while studying for a psychology degree in the UK. It took 11 months to write and was finally completed in January.

Lightbourne previously told the Weekly News he believes fathers fulfil a role a mother cannot. He thinks having a dad around would have taught him responsibility and accountability, along with how to better regulate his emotions and make positive decisions.

“A lot of people don’t know how important having a father is, as so many of us grew up without one,” he added.

‘It’s Not a Man’s World: How I conquered the sins of my father’ is available as an e-book on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes and Noble.

In order for any National Security Strategy to be successful the general public must buy in and participate in it.

In order for the NSS to be impactful it must be sustainable.

The NSS and the powers that be must engage the residents of the TCI for feedback to identify the real underlying cause/s of the escalation of violent crimes here.

When we address the ‘why’ behind the crimes as well as the ‘who’ we would have a sustainable strategy in combating and reducing those numbers.

The growing number of persons on drugs, laced vapours, dope, cocaine, angel dust, hemp and any illegal concoction and the supplies of the contrabands are the root causes of the violent and brutal types of crime here.

Once we follow the illegal drugs we would find illegal guns, human trafficking, tainted and counterfeit money and prostitution.

Then and only then will we be able to be effective in dealing with the scourge of violent crimes in the TCI.

Losing votes

We are missing the issue. If you want to kill a snake you chop off his head not his tail.

We need to cut off the financial supply. Stop CAM from operating.

Cut all flights to Haiti.

No government will take these measures because they are afraid of losing the Haitian votes.

Reduce risks

In developing a national security strategy, internal and systemic risks must be identified and reduced.

The legal system and judiciary

require deeper reforms so that the path to justice would be clearer for all.

Some people feel marginalised owing to roadblocks in the way to accessing the courts.

The recent spate of crime, violent and deadly is coming from new offenders and repeat ones.

The strategy needs to look into the causes why.

With more funds, a reduction of the inherent risks we can close our open borders.

This area benefits from immediate to ministers who can sensitise the National Security Council with the cries of the people and their immediate fears owing to the increase in crime.

This process must be encouraged and supported by the public. A public forum on these and wider needs would really make this initiative more successful.

It’s the doing

Where most governments are concerned it is not the ideas part of the equation which is overwhelmingly difficult; it is the implementation part. We shall see.

Economic security

The requirement for ‘completeness’ in doing a presentation of this nature requires public input as well.

The terms of reference for a national security agenda must be wider than prescribed.

There is the need for deeper economic security and the need to reduce shocks to the system that would threaten the future livelihood of Turks and Caicos Islanders.

Economic security must be a

highlight in addition to the obvious crime and defence concerns.

TC Islanders need a strategy that would mitigate the risks from undue deviations of revenues to schemes that cannot be investigated, above the law and which no-one is ‘big enough’ to open the book (the inherent risks).

As a result TC Islanders are paying $100 million annually and endlessly for the hospital scheme and past $100 million for the special prosecutions which may not end as we must make some people rich.

Measures need to be implemented to avoid and reduce those kinds of risks.

Owing to these inherent risks the presentations made by the team of experts cannot take account of the diversion of funds away from increased training for officers, more officers, daily and frequent seminars, forensics and drones.

New technologies are needed to enable the TCI to patrol the waters, finance sea patrols, train personnel and improve detection tactics.

With reduced inherent threats to their finances, TC Islanders would be able to finance graduate training for officers in law enforcement and forensics.

An inner capability would be developed to fight crime and protect the borders because of greater access to one’s own funds.

Gov’t and Opposition form Constitution Review Committee ahead of UK talks

BY OLIVIA ROSE A FOUR person committee consisting of Government and Opposition members has been appointed to host public discussions on proposed constitutional changes.

After months of stalemate, the two parties have finally agreed to form a balanced and inclusive Constitution Review Committee to educate residents on current proposals before the UK. This is the first concrete political agreement between the Government and Opposition along the difficult path towards constitutional reform.

The committee’s work will begin on Monday (October 7) and a comprehensive report will be completed by October 31.

The report will then be forwarded to Her Majesty’s Government and a TCI delegation will travel to the UK to make representations in November.

A joint statement from Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson and Leader of the Opposition Washington Misick on Friday, September 27, announced the appointment of the team.

The committee is made up of two Government members – Hon. Sean Astwood and Hon. Douglas Parnell and two Opposition members - Hon, Akierra Missick and Hon. Donhue Gardiner.

They will sensitise communities throughout the territory on proposed submissions to the constitution and request recommendations from residents.

The public will have an opportunity to weigh in at several meetings.

They will be held on October 7 in Grand Turk, October 8 in Salt Cay, October 11 in South Caicos, October 17 in Middle Caicos and North Caicos, and October 21 in Providenciales.

According to the statement both the premier and leader of the Opposition will occasionally assist the committee in their consultative work.

NUTS AND BOLTS Earlier this year, Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson vehemently stated that the present constitution, which was not crafted by the people of the TCI, is “nothing short of an affront to locally elected government”.

The country’s leader made these strong remarks during her address to the new Governor Nigel Dakin at his swearing-in ceremony on July 15 in the House of Assembly.

During her speech she called for the 2006 constitution to be reinstated.

“Whilst devising a new economic model, introducing egovernance, building a trade school and establishing a Border Protection

Unit and providing support of a more effective people focused policing, equally critical is my people’s ambition for the return of our 2006 constitution and the management of Crown land,” she said.

The premier, who has long maintained that the current constitution does not reflect the “will of the people”, underscored the importance of the constitution to good governance.

“I said it from these halls in 2011 and I say it today, it is a document that leaves governance to personalities and we can ill afford this uncertainty in governance.

“We are no different from any other people; no different from the Brexiteers who want to know that the persons they elect are in control,” she stressed.

Cartwright Robinson said the 2006 constitution coupled with the current financial systems and oversight presents a balance in the TCI’s partnership with the UK. “Anything less than that is an insult to our people and we will, together with the Opposition, on behalf of our people will fight in the best interest of our people.

“We acknowledge that London has been receptive and inviting on the matter of the constitution but we have not yet received a response beyond the first response on proposed Crown land amendments.

“I hasten to admit that the delay in relation to the constitution has been due to our inability to secure the official Opposition’s presence at the table.”

Last November, the Progressive National Party (PNP) Opposition pulled out of the discussion process designed to pursue constitutional advancement for the territory.

The PNP had previously indicated that the party would wait until its convention, which would usher in new leadership that may have a new approach to constitutional advancement, before committing to the process.

Months later, Hon .Washington

Misick emerged as party leader.

He then made it clear that his party was not in agreement with the Government’s call for the return of the 2006 constitution.

Misick said the PNP is a “forwardlooking” party of high ideals and it does not envisage the return of the

2006 constitution would thrust the territory into the democratic 21st century.

A new round of talks between the Government and Opposition had been initiated to meet in the middle, finalise positions and the way forward.

Turks and Caicos Islander Status Commission appointed A COMMISSION that will review who will be granted Turks and Caicos Islander Status and when, has now been appointed.

The formation of the commission is provided for under the Turks and Caicos Islander Status Ordinance 2015.

A post Cabinet statement from the Governor’s Office on September 25, named the seven people who were approved by the Cabinet to serve.

These are Paul Harvey as chairman of the commission, Patrease Thomas, Barbara Hamilton, Ricardo Don-Hue Gardiner, Selvyn Hawkins and Attorney General Rhondalee Brathwaite Knowles or her representative as members of the body.

Sakera Cook will perform the functions of secretary to the commission.

As provided for by the ordinance, four of the members were appointed

by Governor Nigel Dakin - two of whom were nominated for appointment by Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson and two of whom were nominated for appointment Leader of the Opposition Washington Misick; with the attorney general or her representative serving as an exofficio member.

Acting on the advice of the minister, the governor also appointed a public officer to be the secretary of the commission.

The members will serve for a period of one year, commencing on Monday (September 30).

The ordinance states that in considering whether an applicant qualifies for recommendation to the governor, the commission must consider any prescribed evaluation criteria which the governor is authorised to issue by way of guidelines, for the purpose of

October 5-11, 2019

evaluating the merits of an application by awarding to or discounting an applicant’s credit based on his personal and occupational attributes, as well as his potential value to the community.

Under the functions of the commission, the ordinance further states: “The commission shall (a) after the first day of January each year, review applications for the grant of Islander status made under section 6(3); (b) make recommendations to the governor for the grant of Islander status, which recommendation shall be made in writing not later than October 31 of each year; and (c) make recommendations for revocation of Islander status to the governor on the grounds provided under section 10(4). “(2) For the purposes of the exercise of its functions, the commission shall provide the governor with such reports and other information as he may require.”

The body falls under the purview of the Ministry Immigration, Citizenship, Labour and Employment Services.

The commission will oversee a system whereby Turks and Caicos Islander status is granted to persons who are not native, other than by marriage.

According to the ordinance: “The commission shall meet as often as is necessary or expedient for the discharge of its functions, and such meetings shall be held at such place, day and time as the chairman may determine.

“The chairman shall preside at all meetings of the commission. Three members shall form a quorum at any meetings of the commission.

“At a meeting of the commission all questions shall be decided by a majority of the votes of the members present and voting, and in the event

of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a casting vote.

“The attorney general or his representative shall attend all meetings of the commission, but shall have no right to vote; and subject to this Ordinance, the commission may make rules to regulate its proceedings.”

TIMELINESS Commenting on the formation of the body this week, was Hon. Delroy Williams, minister with responsibility for immigration.

Hon. Williams noted the timeliness of the body, given the “perceived weaknesses of the present framework for the grants of Islander status, most notably, the potential for lopsided increases in the Turks and Caicos Islander population by persons from one country or another outside of the Islands”.

He added that this lopsided dynamic has the potential to shift the balance of power radically from what is commonly referred to as the “indigenous” Islanders to the newly arrived immigrant population “in an unacceptably short period of time”.

It also has “the ability for Government to influence the numbers, skills, qualifications, age, country of origin, and familiarity with the Islands of the newly permanently settled migrant,” the minister observed.

Applications for the grant of Islander status “otherwise than by marriage” may be made to the governor by submitting such applications to the secretary between only June 1 and September 30 of each year inclusively.

Additional details about the Islander Status Commission will be communicated to the public in subsequent press statements, the minister promised.

Provo dumpsite erupts again Residents complain about Government inaction after being plagued with health issues

BY OLIVIA ROSE BILLOWS of thick black smoke emitting from the dumpsite engulfed the north-west side of Providenciales earlier this week prompting residents to hit out at the Government about a lack of action.

On Sunday (September 29), residents took to social media to complain about toxic fumes coming from the nearby burning landfill which have caused children and elderly people to fall ill.

A young mother said: “As someone who has been a resident of Wheeland for over 10 years, I must say I am very disappointed with both the previous and the current Government and their approach to dealing with this very important issue.

“My daughter is asthmatic and last week after a night of sleeping in the smoke, she was unable to attend school and only escaped the ER because I invested in a nebuliser years ago.

“This issue does not only affect the health of our kids, but also their education as a result of absence from school.

“Both the current administration and the Opposition need to address this issue immediately.”

Another woman wrote that the plumes of smoke which appear several times a year have disrupted her child’s education.

“My daughter’s school was closed on many different occasions because of the unbearable smoke,” she said.

Others have complained of experiencing respiratory illnesses which they say developed from prolonged exposure to the toxic fumes.

“I’m starting to develop

respiratory issues with the constant burning of this dump here in Wheeland,” a disgruntled resident said. “This is beyond unacceptable and it seems no one cares.

“You can’t open your windows and still smoke comes all through the air conditioning vents.”

Another resident added: “I have developed sinusitis since last September 2018 as a result of the consistent burning of the dump.

“The slightest smoke and other air particles trigger my sinus. No recourse, no one responsible enough to take charge of our recurring plight.”

Another said: “I have migraines now. My head hurts all the time.”

On Tuesday Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson acting as Minister of Health toured the site accompanied by the MP for the constituency Hon. Vaden Williams.

They witnessed the issues first hand and received a report from site management on recent changes in daily operations.

In a statement on Wednesday, the premier said: “The Turks and Caicos Islands Government is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all residents of the Islands and as previously stated, are aware of the issues associated with the operation of this particular landfill site and have committed to finding a resolve.”

Health officials and the premier met with residents of Wheeland, Blue Hills, on Thursday evening (October 3) to discuss concerns and talk about improvements to the nearby dumpsite.

The meeting was held at the Kingdom Dominion International Church in Millennium Heights.

Further details will be published in next week’s newspaper.

Toxic smoke billows from the smouldering Providenciales dumpsite in Wheeland

“POTENTIALLY LETHAL” In February this year, after an inferno which simmered for days at the same landfill, the Human Rights Commission accused health officials and the Government of gross dereliction of duty.

A statement from the commission read: “There have been many allegations for these fires, such as poor management, illegal immigrants burning coal kilns, to malicious sabotage, but ultimately, whatever the cause, it is Government’s responsibility to resolve this matter expeditiously.”

Emissions from the blazes are “potentially lethal with well-proven acute and chronic health impacts”, the commission added.

Burning tyres “emit dioxins and benzene derivatives which have been linked with reproductive impairment and cancer in humans,” the statement continued.

While the current administration is making a “huge environmental stride” banning single use plastics, “what of the devastating environmental conditions threatening the health of the residents of Blue Hills, Wheeland?”

Particularly concerning is the deteriorating health of children with asthma, according to human rights chiefs.

“Among the health impacts of landfill fires are both cancer and higher mortality rates for pregnant mothers and babies.

“It’s not just the smoke that’s the problem but what that smoke contains. These fires are not just an inconvenience; they are a wellestablished threat to life.”

The commission said there is the potential for residents of the area to experience long-term health issues as a consequence of these potential pollutants.

Does FortisTCI deserve the increase?

By Drexwell Seymour THERE has been a lot of outcry by the public that the FortisTCI application for a variation of the prescribed rate should not be approved as many people believe they are already paying too much.

This article is not to present a case for or against an increase in the rate but merely to provide readers with more information about the application.

FortisTCI stated that the company’s financial impact was weakened by $42 million as a result of hurricanes Irma and Maria.

In addition to this, it spent an additional $21 million in 2017 on capital projects that were already committed thus spending a total of $63 million.

There is an article online dated August 2, 2018, that stated FortisTCI spent $32 million to restore its network.

Due to this significant loss of assets above, it applied to the governor for an average rate increase

of 6.8 percent in order to recover and regain its financial position.

FortisTCI is proposing a rate increase between 5.5 percent to 5.7 percent for residential customers and 7.9 percent for others.

Therefore if you are a residential customer and your bill is currently around $300 before the fuel factor, your bill under the proposed rate would be between $316.60 and $323.70 plus the fuel factor portion.

DOES FORTISTCI HAVE INSURANCE? FortisTCI was able to claim insurance for business interruption but not for loss of assets as it is a standard practice that insurance companies do not provide insurance for external transmission and distribution systems due to the high risks and the exposure of the assets.

Therefore, the company could not claim for the $42 million lost.

It stated it was able to receive settlement of $4 million for the loss of business interruption but it did not cover the complete loss of revenue as the deductible period was 45 days.

DREXWELL SEYMOUR

Drexwell Seymour is a certified public accountant and is the managing partner for HLB TCI. His favourite hobby, however, is writing. He has a personal website, www.drexwellseymour. com, where all of his writings are posted. He also has a YouTube channel where you can find inspirational videos. Drexwell has a BA in Accounting and an MBA in Finance.

However, in a published article online on July 31, 2018, Fortis stated the company was able to recoup the lost revenue substantially as a result of the settlement.

IS FORTISTCI EARNING TOO MUCH? There is a huge speculation or belief that FortisTCI is making a significant amount in revenue and net profits and hence no need for an increase in rate.

However, the profitability of a utility company is normally based on the RORB (return on rate base).

The company is regulated and like most utility companies the return on rate base is normally set by a utility

commission.

In 1986-1987, TCIG agreed an allowable return on rate base for FortisTCI of 17.5 percent and 15 percent for Turks and Caicos Utilities.

According to FortisTCI though, the actual average rate of return for the years 2013 to 2016 was 5.4 percent and in 2017 it was 2.9 percent. In 2018, the RORB was 4.2 percent and it is projected to be four percent in 2019.

COST REDUCTION INITIATIVES Like all businesses, when faced with a threat to the bottom line, the two

Compromise?

options are to increase revenue or decrease expenditure or both.

FortisTCI stated that the company is operating four expensive independent vertically integrated systems across the country and so it is a challenge to reduce operating costs.

This is one of the challenges we faced as a country with multiple islands.

Reduction in headcount is the popular cost reduction methodology that most companies implement when faced with a crisis.

FortisTCI currently has 170 employees but it stated that the current staff complement is already too lean to operate the utility company.

Based on my experience, making employees redundant is the not the answer as most of the functions still have to be done and it is unfair and is a burden to the remaining employees to carry out duplicate and triplicate roles simultaneously.

QUESTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED What would you do if you were

COMMENTARY

POLITICS in today’s world is no longer built on compromise.

The reason parties no longer compromise is that ultimate power is now at least one party’s goal.

Government once had two basic functions: 1) Protect the country from outside interference.

2) Establish and manage a system of laws for the interplay between citizens.

Today the smallest government is expected to provide so much more.

The conservative party plans to keep government small to prevent progressive politicians from: 1) Regulating everything in the daily life of citizens taking away their personal freedoms.

2) Using political power

to enrich themselves at the cost of the average folk.

These liberals/progressives believe in big government. In big government it is easy to hide corruption.

If, for example, laws or regulations require that everyone wears the same style and colour of clothes each day of the week, clothing would be cheaper.

People would feel that they are all equal because everyone would look

alike. The ruling class would own the clothing factory while only they, the ruling class, dressed fancy.

This is not funny, the Communist Chinese tried it!

Conservatives and progressives have had the same agendas for years.

In big countries like the USA there are four levels of government with thousands of individual elections to decide what party will run each individual government.

Towns/cities, counties, states and

federal (Washington). These four levels fight each other for power.

Small states are granted the same level of power in the federal government, proportionally (the electoral system), as large states provide equal rights for every citizen no matter where they live.

Here in the TCI we have one level of government. We have experienced the true agenda of our two parties.

The conservative (PDM) Government is now returned to power, The progressives top leadership is now in corruption court.

With the leaders of the progressives in court, who in this party is left to run for the 2020 election?

One, a defrocked minister, another, an appointed telecommunications leader who filled his phone company roster with outsiders.

A third person who came over

from the conservative party - she wants to be boss. Another bossy gal who has suffered health issues is back.

Then we have the roamer.

Starting with the progressives he moved over to the conservatives then later to a third party. Now the roamer is back where he started, with the progressives.

He never has been on any winning team. Another backbench member that surrendered ill-gotten assets to escape prosecution is back.

There are others.

Their leader stumbles forward after pledging to retire. He began politics serving one term about 30 years ago.

For decades he sat still and was awarded millions of the people’s dough by his party.

Most from the workers’ pension fund.

He views himself as leader of the progressive’s ruling class. Opposing everything the winning conservative party does for the people who pay his bills.

Compromise is long gone!

Getting a ‘read up’ on the situation IN MANY cultures and traditions we read of examples of people wanting to find out what is really happening to them or what the future will bring.

They want a ‘read up’ of their situation, so that they can form strategies to deal with it.

Some people consult mediums, soothsayers or even fortune tellers and are willing to pay handsome sums to get their advice on where they stand, what forces are forming against them or whether things will be bright and rosy for them.

This need to get a read up of their situation stretches across all social groups.

In early times, kings and other rulers consulted their wise men and women they believed had access to natural forces,

and could use their powers and influence to obtain information about the situation that existed or is about to unfold, and so advise their clients so they could prepare to deal with it.

Rulers often used certain priests as well to provide advance information on the time they should attack their enemies and even be victorious.

Social groups at the low end

of society contact fortune tellers for information on who potential enemies are, what their health condition will be like, and want to also know how to deal with possible adverse situations.

The idea of getting a read up is to be reassured, informed about possibilities, to know what action to take to avoid feeling helpless and to be on top of the situation.

But getting a read up on a situation also extends to our everyday relations with each other, whether socially or at the workplace.

When we see the boss walk through the door, our read up swings into action. If he or she has a serious countenance we begin to read up whether there are domestic issues, something that displeased him on the job, or if his chief executive officer gave him a job review which could put his further employment in jeopardy.

Employees also read up on each other. If it is noticed that a member of their group did not speak to anyone, which would be unusual, then they begin to have a deeper look.

They examine their colleague’s facial expressions and body language to get clues as to the reason for their

unusual behaviour.

They observe whether the employee has looked at anyone since coming to work and in what way, whether friendly or hostile, examine whether when walking their head is held high or there is a continuous gaze on the floor as if he or she wants to avoid eye contact with anyone.

This read up is meant to make sense of a situation, to establish some clarity, or with a view to either finding some solution or to approach the person with a desire to help.

Getting a read up on a situation removes unease and uncertainty.

It shows compassion for the other and provides a framework to transform a situation for the better or prevent it from becoming more dire.

THE VIEW FROM EUROPE

Cuba re-embraces Russia as US sanctions bite SOMETIME next month, Russia’s prime minister Dmitry Medvedev is expected to travel to Cuba. His visit is likely to cement the two nations’ future bilateral relations.

It comes after months of highlevel exchanges on deeper economic and political cooperation and an intention to defend Cuba’s right to choose its own future.

This should come as no surprise.

Speaking in Havana in July, Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov could not have been clearer.

Moscow, he said, would strengthen its relations with Havana in the face of the difficult conditions it faces resulting from US pressure.

“We will continue to support Cuba, the people and Cuban leaders, not only through moral or political methods but also through the development of co-operation and trade and economic projects that contribute to making the island’s economy more sustainable in the face of external attacks”, he told the media at the end of a two-day visit.

At the same press conference, Cuba’s foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez described the relationship

BY DAVID JESSOP

David Jessop is a consultant to the Caribbean Council. He has worked on Caribbean issues for over 40 years. David is the editor of Caribbean Insight and Cuba Briefing publications. He can be contacted at david.jessop@caribbeancouncil.org

between the two nations as “dynamic” and “highly productive”, observing that “Cuba has a reliable and long-standing partner in Russia” and that it was “the will and decision of both governments to continue to consolidate political, diplomatic, economic, trade, financial and cooperation relations”.

Remarks made since then by Russian and Cuban ministers and officials indicate that Russia’s presence in Cuba and by extension the Caribbean, is about to take on greater significance.

Although little noticed by the world’s media, the two countries have in recent weeks signed several protocols that will see Russia come to play an important, possibly central

role in Cuba’s future economic development.

Russian and Cuban media reports variously suggest that Russian entities are close to finalising a long-discussed €1 billion ($1.09 billion) project that will see them support the redevelopment of Cuba’s economically vital railway system.

They also indicate that an assembly line for GAZ and Ural vehicles will be launched with the objective of exporting to third countries mainly in Latin America.

Projects are also to be developed that establish new business for the ports of the island; cabotage maritime links will be created and training is to be provided for Cuban pilots, technicians and flight engineers to

improve Cuban airworthiness.

Additionally, Russia’s ambassador to Cuba, Andrei Guskov, in recent days has told the Russian government-linked media platform Sputnik that Moscow would with Russian companies actively participate in the delivery of Cuba’s 2030 Economic and Social Development Plan.

This, he said, will likely see business-to-business discussions in the areas of steel and metallurgical production, the assembly of agricultural equipment, the modernisation of textile enterprises, ventures in water purification, and cooperation in the fields of solar energy, biotechnology, medicine, and information and communication technologies.

He also said that he expected Russian tourist numbers to increase further: 188,000 visited in 2018 compared with 105,000 in 2017, and trade to increase.

In 2018, bilateral trade was reported to have reached $388 million, an increase of 34 percent compared to 2017, and growth is forecast for this year.

In a further indication of Russia’s commercial return, Tatiana Mashkova, the director general of the Russian National Committee for Economic Cooperation with Latin American Countries, who is also the vice president of the Cuba-Russia Business Committee, was quoted in the Russian media as saying that the Russia-Cuba business relationship was “not only of an economic nature but also of a political nature”.

When it came to business, she said, “more efficient economic schemes for collaboration” were being explored, suggesting that that what was required was trade in a currency other than the US dollar.

All of which is in addition to Russia’s already close defence relationship and a foreign policy alignment with Cuba that Russian diplomats describe as “constructive” in establishing a “polycentric world order”.

What this suggests is that unilaterally imposed US sanctions are offering Russia geopolitical and economic opportunity in the CONTINUED 

FortisTCI? What would you do if you were TCIG? Approve the rate but implement the consumer price regulations or increase the minimum wage? Reject the rate possibly causing FortisTCI to get negative rating?

Do you think FortisTCI should set aside a monthly reserve in the event of disasters since there are no insurance coverage and the fact that the company is based in a hurricane zone area?

How does FortisTCI’s RORB compare to the rest of the region or the world?

If the rate is approved but the compensation levels of residents are not improved, how will they afford to pay for the increase in their bill?

Ironically though, many of the retail stores increase their prices all of the time especially when a storm is imminent.

Would you support an increase as long as the company

guarantees reliable electricity services?

Are residents aware of the FortisTCI renewal energy programmes that can perhaps make a difference in their monthly bills despite increases in rate due to the conservation of energy?

What happens if another category five hurricane comes and destroys the external transmission equipment?

Given the hard times many of us are facing, an increase in any bill is a challenge especially if you are not getting an increase in your disposable income.

Perhaps we really need to find ways and means to conserve energy and consumption so that if the rate is approved, we will not feel it.

However, FortisTCI does face a major recovery challenge after experiencing major loss of assets due to the impact of two hurricanes that were beyond their control.

Americas and in contrast to its response in Venezuela, are resulting in Moscow wishing to actively participate in and help Cuba secure its future.

As Russia’s deputy minister of industry and trade, Vasily Osmakov, recently pointed out, US pressure on the Cuban economy and sanctions offer an opening for others that do not share Washington’s view.

It is a policy that allies in Europe and other parts of the world have previously warned about, indicating that US thinking will make it more difficult for the west to engage Cuba in dialogue at a time of generational change, and will create significant new openings for others: a reference widely understood to refer to Russia and China.

During her recent visit to Havana, the EU high representative, Federica Mogherini, indicated that despite its concerns about human rights and other issues, Europe is pursuing a policy of deeper engagement with Cuba.

In contrast, while Washington’s short-term objective is to try to separate Cuba from Venezuela, it would also seem that in the medium term it is hoping to bring about civil unrest.

It holds the mistaken belief that after an embargo lasting nearly 60

years, Cuba can somehow be forced to the negotiating table through sanctions and the impact of energy and food shortages; a policy that has profound implications for Caribbean stability.

This is not to be uncritical of Cuba’s missed opportunity to create the more modern and liberal socialist model that many among its highly educated and committed younger generation want.

Nor is to welcome Russia’s presence, unless it can demonstrate that its interest is more than geopolitically led opportunism akin to President Trump’s transactional world view.

Instead it is to suggest that far from lessening Cuban support for the Maduro government in Caracas or isolating Cuba, US sanctions are bringing Havana closer to Russia, China, Vietnam and other nations Washington says it does not want to see wield greater economic or political influence in the Americas.

It is also to indicate, as some recent published Cuban commentary has suggested, that as US dollar corridors close, Havana is turning away from sourcing from western companies, regarding Russia not just as a partner it understands and knows, but one that offers long-term reliability, stability and technological support.

Pray for our youths to ignite today and ignite the future

BY MAUREEN L TUCKER Guidance counsellor at H J Robinson High School and Maranatha Academy

I don’t know about you but my heart is torn, I am tired of the news so forlorn.

We have heard of a few natural causes of death, But other culprits are the root of regret, Thus causing families to pine and fret.

Far too many of our gifted children no longer bloom, They are now resting in their tombs, Or in unsightly cells of doom.

They grew up fast but never finish their budding task.

Youths ignite today and blaze the future!

I have lived to see many painful departures, So my spirit is embroiled and fractured.

I have been their teacher, counsellor, Mentor, friend and caregiver.

Many of our promising children have been severed, And no longer toil, regrettably, gone back to the soil.

Others are imprisoned to pay for the spoil; While their legacy dissipate, And families are left with heartache.

Youths ignite today and sparkle the future!

If this gruesome trend continues; what will the future be like?

Children without a stable family.

Are we sitting comfortably, While our young people are fading away needlessly?

What can we do immediately?

In spite of the modern development and technological strides, Our youths need to acquire the skill to resist bribe; Disregard ‘snitching’ and ‘social media ditching’.

Youths, stand for no compromise. Wake up. Rise up. Live up. Level up.

Ignite today! Be the source of illumination in the future!

We can’t afford to see another youth vanquished from our sight.

Let’s all unite, turn up the bright lights to radiate the dark night.

I beg and I humbly plead, sons and daughters obediently heed.

No rushing. No gallivanting. No drugging and drinking, To interfere with sober thinking.

Put down the guns.

No violence to cause prison sentence.

Stay clear of cold death and punitive complex.

Remember your responsibility… to lead with credibility.

Ignite today. Be the torch-bearer along life’s way!

Our children need to know that there is evil to shun.

Show them how to appreciate the ‘beautiful by nature’.

Train them how to fish, scale them, Cook them and put them on the dish.

Instruct their intuitive minds how to plant crops, For surely they’ll reap from their plots.

Guide them to dutifully manage household chores, For this discipline will open many doors.

Instill in them the qualities of the God of heaven, To cherish their relatives and friends and be hospitably driven.

I call upon our mature citizens to live the truth, And prevent our children from being uncouth.

Encourage them to be on their knees, to stand amidst the fight, Hence overcoming the dark night.

Youths ignite today. Enlighten the future!

Let’s pray that our youths will accept the gumption, To live as citizens of a godly nation.

Not leaning to their own impression, But using their discretion, to make right decisions.

Point them to ‘the way of salvation’.

Pray that they will trust in the lord with all their might, And walk humbly in the good lord sight, While reaching out in love to their fellowmen, by day and night.

Lord, deliver our children.

Youths ignite. Blaze. Glow. Shine. You are the future!

Cost of living survey to be completed in 2020

BY OLIVIA ROSE A SURVEY looking into the cost of living in the Turks and Caicos Islands will be completed by April 2020, the premier has revealed.

The Department of Statistics, which is heading the project, has told the Government that a one year period is needed to complete the public review and subsequent report.

This will be submitted in April 2020, is intended to serve as a guide for the Government to correct policy decisions and ease the burden on the populace.

On September 27 Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson updated the public on its status.

“My Government understands the need to get a good understanding of the cost of living and the need for the TCI cost of living report, since the cost of living makes a big difference in what a dollar can buy,” she said.

“This in turn makes a difference in a person’s wellbeing. It is therefore critical that we get a good understanding of what are the determinant factors of the cost of living in the TCI,” she said.

She explained that the survey will help the Government to better understand what households in the territory are paying for, the cost of these expenditures and the challenges they face.

With regard to the time until completion, she said the Government has “no choice” but to work with the timelines given to them by the technocrats.

They have estimated that it will take at least 12 months before a complete report can be given and an

added approximation of two months to collate and publish the findings.

The premier explained that such an important study “must be done right” and she urged the public to bear with them as this work is being undertaken.

“We are also asking that you cooperate with the interviewers if your household is selected to partake in the interview.

“We must always be reminded that with governance there is a process and my Government like any other government should listen to and allow the technocrats to do their work based on the timelines given,” the premier added.

At a press conference on September 18, Leader of the Opposition Hon. Washington Misick chided the Government for not doing enough to protect consumers.

“The cost of living has a lot to do with the revenue structure by revenue structure I mean the incidence of the tax structure, who does the tax fall on.

“Taxation is supposed to be progressive in a way that the guy who can afford more, is making more, pays more.”

He said the PNP passed a consumer protection ordinance in 2016 but a consumer protection regime has not been implemented.

Misick added: “We’re going to protect the people by making sure that at the basic level they’re not being gouged and service they’re paying for is worth it and that the food that they’re buying is indeed priced at a level where people can afford it.

“So it’s a combination of different things, I think we can bring down the

cost of living.”

The cost of living survey when complete will highlight the average expenditure on food and nonalcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics, clothing and footwear, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels.

Also furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance, health, transport, information and communication, recreation, sports and culture, education services.

And restaurants and accommodation services, insurance and financial service, personal care, social protection and miscellaneous goods and services.

During her budget speech on May 1, the premier said the cost of living survey would be conducted in conjunction with a country poverty assessment.

“This work will give my Government a chance to devise strategies which will lower the cost of living and implement poverty reduction strategies which will help to reduce the level of poverty.”

She stressed that the Government is not only looking to reduce the cost of living but also the cost of business which will in turn attract more investors.

“Potential investors sometimes find it difficult to invest in countries because of the obstacles of setting up businesses.

“We will therefore continue to provide the necessary investment which will make Government more efficient.

“Therefore, providing services to residents in a cost-effective manner as the Government grows.”

The Caribbean Food and Wine Festival has quickly become the premier culinary event in the region

Extravagant Caribbean Food and Wine Festival on again

THE NINTH annual culinary extravaganza, the Caribbean Food and Wine Festival (CFWF), has yet another all-star line-up of chefs and wine makers to thrill the palates of attendees.

The signal event will this year be marked by its Asian influences, with chefs from India and the United States mixing their particular flair and expertise to make the four day event another one to remember.

Members of the CFWF committee unveiled this year’s queue of celebrity chefs and winemakers headlining the festival during a press event on Tuesday (October 1) at Grace Bay Resort in Providenciales.

The annual event – from October 31 to November 3 - is held by Grace Bay Resorts and The Wine Cellar in partnership with the TCI Tourist Board.

Nikheel Advani, principal of Grace Bay Resorts and co-chair of CFWF, gushed that the festival has quickly become the premier culinary event in the Caribbean, pairing highly regarded tastemakers with the TCI’s diverse local talent for an authentic and innovative celebration of Caribbean cuisine.

“This year’s festival brings together two Michelin-starred chefs, a James Beard Award winner, esteemed winemakers and a group of extremely talented local chefs in honour of our beloved Islands,” he said.

Advani added: “The exposure we have to some of the world’s most highly-regarded

chefs during this festival has bolstered our local talent and led to the Turks and Caicos becoming one of the best food and beverage destinations in the Caribbean.

“Supporting our local community through these efforts has allowed us to continue to be a leader in this category and we hope to inspire other islands to flourish in this way as well.”

This year’s headliners include Chef Ryan McCaskey - chef and proprietor of Acadia, a two Michelin-starred restaurant based in Chicago.

A promotional flyer of the event revealed: “Chef Ryan’s expertise is subtlety, layering flavours and using contemporary techniques to create innovative and inventive cuisine.”

Chef Atul Kochhar is a twice Michelin starred chef based out of the United Kingdom.

He combines his Indian heritage with his love of British ingredients to create unique and modern Indian cuisine.

Chef Michael Schwartz is a James Beard Award winning chef and restaurateur of The Genuine Hospitality Group, including flagship Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink and newlyopened Traymore by Michael Schwartz at the COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach.

Vinter Alberto Chiarlo is a sales and marketing manager for world-renowned, family-owned Michele Chiarlo Winery.

The final headliner is Vinter Michael Polenske, the creative director, chairman and founder of Bespoke Collection artisanal

brands and experiences including Blackbird Vineyards, Recuerdo Wines, and Aerena Wines.

Every year the not-for-profit festival raises funds for the Department of Youth Affairs Lit’l Chefs mentor programme, which supports and encourages young local chefs to develop skills that will assist them in pursuing careers in hospitality.

Advani stated that this year, the committee hopes to, with this festival, strengthen its relationship with the World Gourmet Summit and form a strategic alliance between the two organisations to support the continued success and further growth of the culinary arts.

Anthony Garland, CFWF co-chair and representative of The Wine Cellar, remarked: “The Caribbean Food and Wine Festival has become a beacon for showcasing the diversity in our food and beverage talent hidden in our beautiful by nature Turks and Caicos Islands and after nearly a decade, the festival has become one of the most prominent culinary events in the Caribbean.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS On Thursday, October 31 attendees will be at the Palms for a welcome dinner to kick-off the weekend-long events. This will feature creations by chef Ryan McCaskey.

Friday, November 1 will be the Women of Wine Luncheon at Solana Restaurant.

This event caters to the adage “it’s 5 o’clock

somewhere” by offering an extended lunch break in a relaxed environment for women who love wine, featuring Bespoke Collection.

Gourmet Safari will be the progressive gourmet dining experience. This is an interactive ‘dine around’ which will give guests an opportunity to discover the island’s restaurants.

Guests will visit Grace Bay Club for innovative cocktails; Coyaba for the first course; Wymara for the second course, The Palms for main course and Seven Stars for a scrumptious dessert.

Young people celebrated the National Youth Day public holiday with a variety of fun activities

National Youth Day celebrated with fervour

BY OLIVIA ROSE YOUNG people across the Turks and Caicos Islands celebrated National Youth Day with much thrill and excitement last Friday (September 27).

The public holiday, observed each year on the last Friday in September, honours the future of the nation and this year was held under the theme, ‘Ignite the youth to ignite the future’.

The activity packed day got underway in Providenciales with a small float parade at the Downtown Ballpark led by members of the TCI Cadet Corp.

Minister of Education, Youth and Library Services Hon. Karen Malcolm joined teachers and students from primary schools around the island in the march.

Many parents took their children to enjoy an array of activities at the park including bouncy castles, go cart races, face painting,

treats and goodies and traditional games put on by the Department of Youth Affairs.

There was also singing, poetry recitals, dancing, a banner competition and a talent show as part of the jammed packed day.

Youths on other islands participated in their own activities to mark the national holiday.

Activities in South Caicos kicked off with a church service, which saw Leo Lightbourne delivering encouraging words to the island’s youngsters.

Marjorie Basden High School and Iris Stubbs Primary School joined forces and played football against adults on South Caicos.

The day ended on a high note on the island of North Caicos with a youth awards ceremony.

On the day Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson reminded youngsters of their importance in society and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to investing in their well-being.

She said: “Often when broaching the

topic of youth, the phrase ‘it takes a village’ is called to mind. While some deem the phrase cliché, it is grounded in a tried and tested truth.

“This symbolic village represents an intricate web of support that bolsters the efforts of youth along their path of growth and evolution and catches them if they falter; ensuring that no child falls through the proverbial cracks.

“On this National Youth Day, I challenge all in the length and breadth of these Islands to reflect on how we contribute to our village.”

The premier stressed that everyone is responsible in their own spheres of influence for ensuring that TCI’s youths are beneficiaries of a legacy worthy of being carried forward into the future.

“The onus is on us to ensure that they are equipped with all that is needed to blossom within our society and beyond it. Each successive generation is moulded by our efforts.

“The responsibility to nurture, protect, educate and empower our youth must not be taken lightly.

She added that the Government remains focused on creating opportunities for young people and urged them to “reach up and grab them”.

“To our youth at home and abroad, today we celebrate you.

“You are worthy of celebration as your gifts and your potential are the bedrock on which the future of the Turks and Caicos Islands stands.

“As a generation facing challenges, globally and locally, what must remain at the forefront of your mind is the fact that you are not too young to have an impact.

“Wherever life takes you, you are anchored to these shores and rooted in the rich culture of this archipelago.”

Youth constitutes a large part of the islands’ population. According to statistics, about onethird of the population is under 15-years-old.

Governor and wife take familiarisation tour ‘on the road’ SINCE taking up his post in July, Governor Nigel Dakin has made concerted efforts to familiarise himself with various aspects of the TCI’s society - its culture, ways and its people.

This past week, the governor took those attempts a few steps further, embarking on a two week familiarisation tour of several of the family islands.

First stop on the tour was North Caicos on Tuesday (October 1).

Accompanied by his wife, Amanda Dakin, the governor’s trip to North Caicos included visits to Charles Hubert James Primary School, Adelaide Oemler Primary School and Raymond Gardiner High School.

Governor Dakin also stopped in at the Wades Green Plantation and the government farm where he planted a native Caicos pine tree for conservation as part of the Caicos Pine Recovery Project.

The Dakins were also given a tour of the island, where they engaged with local residents, including spending time with one special craft vendor.

Governor Dakin ended the day on North Caicos with a town hall meeting.

Commenting about his day in North Caicos, the governor said: “Fabulous day on North Caicos.

Mandy and myself (plus our dog Gnasher) spent time with the two primary schools.

“Loads of young talent on display from dance, rake and scrape band, hard pounding exuberant drumming and the national anthem, and the national song, sung with more passion than we’ve heard anywhere

since arrival.”

The governor also took questions from the primary and secondary school children, with one encounter leaving a lasting impression on him.

“I had a more serious question and answer session with the young adults at Raymond Gardiner High School and then witnessed an inter-house public speaking competition tackling issues around teenage pregnancy. A great deal of wisdom.

“These young people are living in, and dealing with, the world we created, not the other way round.”

He also reflected on his time at the government farm: “We… saw pawpaws the size I haven’t seen before. I planted a Caicos pine, an endangered but remarkable species that relies on seven different fungi to grow and builds its own ecosystem.”

The governor also spoke of his visit with residents: “We were able to pause and chat with local residents, we were invited into Irene Higgs’ home and Mandy not only got to buy a hat - but have a short tutorial on how they are made.”

The visit ended with a town hall meeting, where the governor took questions from residents.

“I leave better educated than I arrived from listening to grandees and business people and some of the youth of the islands. Reassuring, as an aside, the closeness of the community to their police force who I also spent time with and only heard plaudits about.”

Next on the tour was Middle Caicos, which the team visited on Thursday, then on to Salt Cay on Tuesday, October 8.

THE SALT CAY NOTE

You take the high road and I take the low road IT ALL started with a Facebook post. A debate online initiated by a well-meaning expatriate restaurateur, conducted predominantly by nonresidents, ‘winter residents’ and expatriate residents of Salt Cay about the question whether or not the roads of the island should be paved.

While initially following

BY TITUS DE BOER my gut feeling and Titus was born in Hamburg and has lived in the Turks and remaining silent on Caicos Islands since 1989. the matter, I eventually He works as a general business decided (against my better consultant and has been based in Salt Cay since 2016. judgement) to join a Salt Cay residents Facebook group and expressed my opinion.

No sooner had I pressed the submit button, I regretted it, thought it over and an hour later deleted the post and left the group.

No doubt there are, as there are with most issues, plausible arguments on both sides of this debate.

On the one hand, one could say that as Salt Cay endeavours to ‘brand’ itself as the antithesis to Providenciales (with its paved roads, condo resorts and traffic), the building of neatly paved asphalt roads would take away from the old world, West Indian charm that draws visitors to Salt Cay in the first place.

At the same time those who argue that paved roads would be convenient for residents and visitors driving around the island and that vehicles would last longer, also have a valid point.

However that’s really not the core issue here or indeed the reason I decided to discontinue partaking in the discussion.

My aversion to Facebook, expressed in a recent column, is on record and so I genuinely regretted having been lured back into it, to partake in a discussion that really ought to be conducted (and no doubt is) by the people who have lived in Salt Cay all their lives and who can justifiably call it ‘their island’.

It is their birth right and I respect that, just as they respect my opinion (even when we agree to disagree)- so long as the matter is discussed in a friendly one-on-one conversation, not online, in a forum dominated by expatriates and nonresidents.

“When all’s said and done, all roads lead to the same end.

So it’s not so much which road you take, as how you take it.”

I think this quote by Canadian author Charles de Lint, sums up rather well my view of the Salt Cay road debate.

In the end, things will fall into place; and so it will be with the roads of Salt Cay- paved, graded or unpaved. Only time will tell.

Organisers of the In the Pink charity event launch the show at a press conference

Pink charity party promises to be bigger than ever

BY OLIVIA ROSE THE MOST anticipated cancer awareness event of the year ‘In the Pink’ promises to be bigger and better as it celebrates an 11 year milestone.

On Saturday, October 12, patrons from all walks of life will head down to the spectacular Palms Resort in Providenciales to shop their hearts out in support of a worthy cause.

Organisers of the fashion sales event say this year they’re hoping to “paint the town pink again” as they raise funds for the TCI National Cancer Society.

Speaking at a press conference to launch In the Pink on Friday, September 20, founder Karen Whitt said it will be even bigger and bolder this year.

A fashion show was held at the Shore Club on Tuesday (October 1) giving attendees the opportunity to buy a pink dress.

“If you’ve ever attended the In the Pink event, you know that not only is it shopping, is it poker, is it party but it is all about style and fashion and

swag - you’ve got to show up in your best pink.

“We have a beautiful garden, right behind this ballroom and our executive chef Lauren has come up with this concept for a food court and inside that food court there is also going to be a pink vodka bar, sponsored by IGA.” The event not only attracts ladies and gents for an evening of sipping and shopping, the resort’s courtyard is also transformed into a pink paradise where hundreds of happy partygoers can enjoy food, live music and dancing into the night.

This year In the Pink will also feature collectors’ items and brand name pieces from former United States secretary of state Condoleezza Rice.

A member of the organising team, Hon. Josephine Connolly, said putting together the event has helped create a group for female empowerment.

“We came together to do this not because we wanted to form some social club; it’s a group of women

who are here doing this for a worthy cause.

“This year I reached out to international stores, in fact, I have some friends of Condoleezza Rice who will be showing up for this event and they are also going to be sending me some stuff.

“I am encouraging each and every one of you to come out and support this worthy cause. You will not regret it.”

Tickets, which will allow patrons to purchase new or gently worn clothes and jewellery at great prices, are currently on sale at Just Jai’s jewellery store in Regent Village, and from committee members Folusa Ladejobi, Josephine Connolly, Rosemary Jolly and MaryLou Vanderheide.

All proceeds will be donated to the National Cancer Society, the nation’s leading cancer advocacy organisation that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority.

The organisation is dedicated to treating and eliminating cancer in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is appealing to any member of public who may have any information on any crimes. They can contact Chalk Sound Police Station on 338-5901 or make use of the confidential reporting system through Crimestoppers on 1-800-8477.

Private sector joins forces to ensure a safe TCI AS THE Government works towards establishing policy and guidelines to ensure the TCI remains a safe place with a low crime rate, private sector organisations have chipped in to do their part.

On Thursday, October 3, F Chambers Attorneys at Law and the Turks and Caicos Islands Hotel and Tourism Organisation (TCHTA) announced the first annual Safer and Sustainable Future (SSF) symposium for the territory.

The two have joined forces to host the inaugural event on October 17 at the Wymara Hotel in Providenciales.

A joint statement outlines the aim of the symposium as an attempt to cover the latest developments and legislation in the areas of crime prevention and safety measures on a national scale with a focus on building a sustainable future for the TCI. Participants will include Government officials; national, regional and corporate stakeholders and members of F Chambers and TCHTA who are experts in their respective fields.

Bringing remarks will the governor, the Commissioner of Police’s Office, the attorney general and special guests from the judiciary and the Government.

These speakers will be joined by other stimulating international guest speakers which will include representatives from ShotSpotter Technology as well as the former attorney general of Barbados.

Commenting on the catalyst of the event, Mark Fulford of F Chambers stated: “Over the past few years, our country has seen a significant increase in criminal activities.

“These criminal activities, some of which have been reported by the news, and others which have gone unreported but are still felt by some in society, threaten our people, their personal safety, our national security,

our very way of life and tourism the engine of our economy.”

He added: “We as members of this community are compelled to take a stand and present ourselves as willing and able partners with relevant authorities to fight for a safer Turks and Caicos Islands.”

He said the idea took root as he engaged others who share his views on the need to devise ways to arrest the growing crime situation.

“Thankfully, members of the community have joined us in our efforts.”

Stacy Cox, president of the TCHTA, in her comments on the event noted: “With the recent crime wave, a partnership between the TCHTA and F Chambers Attorneys at Law for this upcoming colloquium is necessary as it will bring major stakeholders together to have a discussion and develop a proactive strategy to combating and eliminating serious crime in the TCI.” She added: “Our beautiful country is considered one of the safest destinations in the world. Any activities that suggest otherwise can potentially have a long-term negative effect on the tourism sector, endangering our product and brand.

It is our ultimate goal to keep the destination safe for both our residents and tourists.”

Tapahari Tibble, vice president of the TCHTA and chairman of the Security Committee, also commented on the symposium partnership.

“As the newly elected chairman of security for our organisation, I look forward to working with F Chambers Attorneys and contributing to these meetings while discussing ways to mitigate the issues at hand.

“It is my committee’s goal to work with various stakeholders to strengthen our community and eliminate crime to ensure that our country is safe for all.”

Trees that attract termites PART ONE FIRST of all, I’m going to start by saying that I’m not a specialist in termites. If you have any concerns or problems with termites you should contact a professional.

Here on island there are a few companies that specialise in termite control, whether it’s for prevention or because you have an infestation of termites.

But here is what I know as a landscaper with years of experience in the TCI and how to spot termites.

Controlling termites starts with knowing what attracts these destructive pests and how they survive.

Everybody knows that they chew through basically any kind of wood. But the big landscaping question is whether or not they prefer to feed on specific types of tree species?

Homeowners will be happy to know that most termites don’t typically attack living, healthy trees. However, there are a few exceptions.

So let’s take a look at which trees are most susceptible to termite attacks and what you can do about it.

Throughout the Caribbean, palm trees are a common landscaping fixture. They are

relatively hardy and do well in the humid or dry environment, but they’re prone to subterranean termite attacks.

They are known to attack any wood that’s in contact with soil and foxtails seem to be among their favourites.

Typically these termites will start at the root of the palm tree and work their way up to the base. They can feed off a palm tree for years before there’s any noticeable damage.

Usually, homeowners will notice mud and mounds around the base of the palm tree because the termite tunnels are inside the tree.

Some palms also have dead fronds that don’t fall off and become an easy meal for termites.

If you have palms in your yard, remove fronds as soon as they begin to turn brown and regularly check around the base for termite activity.

Fruit trees also appear to be a prime target for termites but they aren’t going after the sweet produce.

Mango trees in particular seem to attract these bothersome insects.

Young citrus trees are also known to get attacked by termites.

Sometimes termites will munch

away at the bark but usually the damage is on the inside where you can’t see what’s going on.

They’ll also do what’s known as girdling. This is when the termites strip the bark away just below the soil line at the trunk crown.

Some experts believe termites do this to create a future food source because girdling can eventually kill a fruit tree.

Termites are known to prefer trees that have low tolerance to damage and fruit trees fall into that category.

Termites in living fruit trees are tricky to treat because you don’t want to affect the produce if at all possible.

If the tree has been weakened by sun damage you can help prevent further weakening by painting the trunk with a 50/50 mixture of white latex paint and water.

It acts like sunscreen and can make future termite damage more visible. For other damaged or infested fruit trees it’s best to use natural pest control measures.

Brexit: New UK plan for Northern Ireland to stay in single market THE government has delivered its new Brexit proposals to the EU, including plans to replace the Irish backstop.

The plan, outlined in a sevenpage document, would see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods, but leave the customs union - resulting in new customs checks.

The Northern Ireland Assembly would get to approve the arrangements first and vote every four years on keeping them.

The European Commission said there had been progress but “problems” remained.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said the new blueprint did not “fully meet the agreed objectives of the backstop”, in terms of upholding the EU’s single market, protecting peace in Northern Ireland and supporting economic co-operation with the Republic of Ireland.

But he said he wanted an agreement and talks would continue.

The UK is set to leave the EU on 31 October and the government has insisted it will not negotiate a further delay beyond the Halloween deadline.

Speaking at the Conservative

Party conference earlier on Wednesday, Boris Johnson said the only alternative to his Brexit plan was no-deal.

In a letter to European Commission’s president, JeanClaude Juncker, the prime minister said the new proposals “respect the decision taken by the people of the UK to leave the EU, while dealing pragmatically with that decision’s consequences in Northern Ireland and in Ireland”.

Government sources hoped the UK might be able to enter an intense 10-day period of negotiations with the EU almost immediately, with the aim of coming to a final agreement at an EU summit on 17 October.

Mr Juncker welcomed what he said were “positive advances” in some areas but he said the UK’s proposed system of “governance” of the new arrangements was “problematic” - and customs rules remained a concern.

Arlene Foster, leader of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party, supported the plan, saying it would allow Northern Ireland to leave the customs union and single market at the same time as the rest of the UK. Several Conservative MPs who

The plan, would see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods, but leave the customs union - resulting in new customs checks.

opposed Theresa May’s agreement also signalled their likely support, with leading Brexiteer Steve Baker saying he was “cautiously optimistic”.

But Sinn Fein said the plans were a “non-starter” and accused the DUP, their former power-sharing partners of “working against the interests of the people” of Northern Ireland.

And Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the deal was “not acceptable” and “worse” than Theresa May’s agreement, as it “undermined” the Good Friday Agreement that secured peace in Northern Ireland.

The prime minister has set out details of his plan to replace the Irish border “backstop” in the current Brexit agreement.

The backstop is the controversial “insurance policy” that is meant to

keep a free-flowing border on the island of Ireland but which critics including the PM - fear could trap the UK in EU trading rules indefinitely.

Under Mr Johnson’s proposals, which he calls a “broad landing zone” for a new deal with the EU: Northern Ireland would leave the EU’s customs union alongside the rest of the UK, at the start of 2021 But Northern Ireland would, with the consent of politicians in the Northern Ireland Assembly, continue to apply EU legislation relating to agricultural and other products - what he calls an “all-island regulatory zone” This arrangement could, in theory, continue indefinitely, but the consent of Northern Ireland’s politicians would have to be sought every four

years Customs checks on goods traded between the UK and EU would be “decentralised”, with paperwork submitted electronically and only a “very small number” of physical checks These checks should take place away from the border itself, at business premises or at “other points in the supply chain” The government is also promising a “New Deal for Northern Ireland”, with financial commitments to help manage the changes.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has spoken to Mr Johnson, said the EU would study the proposals carefully.

She said she “trusted” the bloc’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier to maintain European unity.

Kurt Volker: First witness testifies in Trump impeachment probe EX-US special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker has become the first witness to testify to Congress in the impeachment probe of US President Donald Trump.

Mr Volker was among those mentioned in an anonymous whistleblower’s complaint about Mr Trump’s call to the president of Ukraine.

The Republican foreign policy expert addresses three Democrat-led committees behind closed doors on Thursday.

Mr Trump has lashed out with anger at the impeachment effort as unfounded.

Mr Volker, the former US envoy to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato), is due to testify in private to the House of Representatives Intelligence, Oversight and Reform and Foreign Affairs committees.

He is expected to be questioned about his role in Mr Trump’s effort to

Kurt Volker (left) resigned as US special envoy to Ukraine last week.

have Ukraine investigate his political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who worked for a Ukrainian gas firm.

In a phone call in July, Mr Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with

his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr on efforts to investigate the Bidens.

The whistleblower’s complaint, which triggered Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry, said that one day after that call Mr Volker

and US ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, met Mr Zelensky to provide advice on how to “navigate” Mr Trump’s request.

Mr Volker resigned from the Sate Department last week after being named in the whistleblower’s complaint.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has sought to block testimony from Mr Volker and four other State Department officials who Democrats wish to interview.

Democrats accuse Mr Trump of dangling about $400m (£320m) in aide over Ukraine, and that a transcript of his call makes clear that he made US military support for Ukraine conditional on their cooperation in investigating the Bidens.

In advance of his testimony, Mr Volker handed over documents to the committee, including text messages with Mr Giuliani.

Mr Giuliani - who is not a US government official - took to Twitter

on Thursday morning to release screen shots of several text messages sent from Mr Volker to him.

In one tweet, Mr Giuliani wrote that Mr Volker “reached out to me to ask if I would take a call from” Andriy Yermak, an adviser to Mr Zelensky.

“Kurt did nothing wrong,” he said in another tweet.

When Hunter Biden joined Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma in 2014, questions were raised about a potential conflict of interest for his father.

Ukraine was undergoing a political transition after its proRussia president was forced out of office, and the elder Biden was making frequent trips to the country.

In 2016, Joe Biden pushed the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, whose office had been investigating the oligarch owner of Burisma.

R. Kelly argues he’s too feeble and famous to flee if released on bail on sex trafficking charges JAILED musician R. Kelly is floating a variation on the theme he deserves bail — now arguing he’s too famous and

feeble to be a flight risk.

The accused sex trafficker filed a new motion Monday in Brooklyn Federal Court,

claiming he needs medical care for several untreated conditions and couldn’t live on the lam because someone would recognize him.

“Mr. Kelly has a number of health issues which need to be addressed and for which he is not presently receiving adequate medical care. This includes numbness in his hand, anxiety and an untreated hernia,” the motion filed by lawyer Steven Greenberg says.

Greenberg further argues Kelly has a record of showing up for criminal court hearings and already has surrendered his passport. “(Kelly) could not hide or evade surveillance given his fame,” the lawyer says.

The singer “has posted a substantial bond in state court, has voluntarily turned himself in on all charges and

R. Kelly turns at a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Sept. 17 in Chicago.

made no attempt to flee in the face of imminent Federal charges,” the lawyer said, adding that there are “various levels of monitoring, or even home detention, that would ameliorate any conceivable risk.”

Kelly has repeatedly asked for release from his pretrial detention as he battles twin federal indictments in Chicago and Brooklyn.

The indictment in the Eastern District of New York — one of four pending criminal cases against the Grammy winner — alleges Kelly ran a racketeering operation that transported girls and women over state lines for sex and engaged in coercion, kidnapping and forced labor.

The July 10 indictment involves five Jane Doe victims — three of them minors at the

time of their alleged abuse.

If convicted on all counts, Kelly faces the possibility of decades in prison.

In a separate 13-count federal indictment filed in Chicago, Kelly is accused of working with cohorts to fix his 2008 child pornography trial in Chicago by bribing and intimidating witnesses and victims. That trial ended in his acquittal.

Miss China crowned Miss Global International 2019 at glitzy ceremony in Jamaica MISS China, Alice Li, was crowned Miss Global International 2019 during a glitzy ceremony at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James on Saturday night.

The 25-year-old accountant came out ahead of 19 rivals to walk away with a cash prize of US$3,000 and other awards.

“I am so overwhelmed… It really doesn’t feel real… It’s such an honour to have won the title of Miss Global International 2019,” she told the Jamaica Observer.

First runner-up went to Miss San Andres, Yasleth Castillo Nelson, while Miss Jamaica Brithney Clarke finished third.

Li also copped two sectional prizes, Best Talent and Most Aware.

She said she will use her reign to further her work in volunteerism.

“I have a great passion for volunteerism… all my free time, that’s where it all goes. There are so many amazing community

organisations that I work with. I also sit on three hospital boards in my city, so it’s something that has been a part of my lifestyle. Therefore, this is the perfect opportunity to expand on that and give myself a greater voice,” Li disclosed.

Miss China was clearly a crowd favourite. She elicited thunderous applause from the audience after her response to the judge’s question on whether enough was done to stop the recent Amazon rainforest wildfire.

“It’s unfortunate what has been happening with the forest in the Amazon. Even though there has been so much international relief effort, I do believe that there is room for improvement. There are environmental laws and respective governments are not enforcing them.

I believe that as a whole planet, we need to look at it together as one team. It is not just a matter of forestry it’s an issue of our planet Earth,” Li responded.

MISS China, Alice Li came out ahead of 19 rivals to walk away with a cash prize of US$3,000 and other awards.

Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia “Babsy” Grange, who was among the panel of judges, was impressed by the event’s production.

“It was a well-produced event.

I thoroughly enjoyed being one of the judges, I think the winner really outshone everyone, but most of the contestants were very good, very intelligent, well-poised and their gowns and national costumes were

well designed and really presented an array of beautiful women in beautiful attire,” said Grange.

Pageant conceptualiser Lachu Ramchandani commended organisers.

Salazar, the former coach of Britain’s Mo Farah, was

The decision against Salazar, 61, came after a twoyear court battle.

Bach said the case is “very

after this report.

“The IOC will write a letter to Wada in this respect.”

On what he will be asking Wada, Bach added: “To see how many athletes have been investigated. Have all the athletes been investigated who have been training in this centre?

“Does the report address the whole period of the existence of this project or only part of it?

“Could any Olympic results directly or indirectly be affected?

“We learned from the report that the athletes would not have known what happened to them - this is an important factor when looking at sanctions but disqualification is mandatory whether the athlete knows or not.

“We are very confident that Wada is looking at this anyway so we are waiting for

the advice from Wada in this respect.”

Salazar, who has said he will appeal the judgement, runs the Nike Oregon Project - home to four-time Olympic champion Farah from 2011 until 2017.

The 36-year-old Farah, also a six-time world champion, said: “I’m relieved that Usada has, after four years, completed their investigation into Alberto Salazar.

Sports Interational FIFA bans former CONCACAF general secretary Sanz for life

Lamine Diaby-Fadiga (L) has been sacked by Nice for stealing a teammate’s watch.

Teenage football star sacked for stealing teammate’s $76,000 watch LEADING French football club OGC Nice has sacked a teenage footballer for stealing a teammate’s watch, reportedly worth $76,000.

Lamine Fadiga-Diaby, 18, admitted to taking Kasper Dolberg’s watch from the club dressing room on September 16 and said his actions were born out of “jealousy.”

“Above and beyond all sporting and financial consideration, OGC Nice cannot and will not accept such behavior that betrays the confidence that unites all the club’s employees and all the members of the Rouge et Noir family,” the club said in a statement.

Diaby says he was “mentally affected” by a

long-term injury and a red card received on his return to football.

“My difficult situation contrasted starkly the success and aura of Kasper, my teammate,” Diaby said in a statement on Instagram. “I took it out on him without having any reason to do so, maybe a bit because of jealousy.

Enrique Sanz

before he joined CONCACAF in 2012 to oversee the organisation’s operations under Caymanian Webb.

However, Sanz was never publicly charged.

According to federal court records, Webb and Sanz made public pronouncements about reforming CONCACAF, but almost immediately after taking office “both men resumed their involvement in criminal schemes”. Among other things, Webb is said to have directed Sanz to seek a bribe payment on his behalf from Traffic Sports USA during the negotiations for the Gold Cup 2013 and CONCACAF Champions League 20132015 tournaments.

My actions were not taken out of an appetite to gain something from it, but out of disappointment, frustration and feeling discredited. Of course, I am only 18, but my age excuses nothing.

THE football world governing body FIFA imposed a lifetime ban on Enrique Sanz, a former general secretary of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), after finding him guilty of bribery.

Sanz worked under CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb during the period covered by the 2015 US federal indictment of football officials and their associates for widespread corruption schemes relating to competitions organised

by FIFA, CONCACAF, the Caribbean Football Union and the South American Football Confederation.

US Department of Justice documents in a 2015 indictment identified Sanz as an unnamed co-conspirator, who prosecutors alleged had arranged and taken bribes linked to commercial deals for World Cup qualifying games and the 2016 Copa American centenary tournament.

Prosecutors had also alleged that the Colombian allegedly was involved in bribery schemes when he worked for sports agency Traffic USA,

relay squad that claimed bronze at the Road World Championships in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, on 22 September.

She returned to her home two days later and was injured while out training in Teignmouth with her father and coach.

“A car approached us from behind and was beeping his horn straight away,” Ms Dolan said.

“He passed us with inches to spare, slammed his brakes on so hard and at this time we were travelling at about 44 kilometres per hour.

“I tried to go around the outside of him but there was a traffic island.

“Unfortunately, my back wheel clipped it and sent me flying over the handle bars.

I ended up about 20 metres down the road.”

She added: “This type of behaviour is becoming all too familiar on our roads.

“It has become a culture that needs addressing and time for change is long overdue.”

Ms Dolan was also injured in June when she was hit by a race safety motorbike, breaking her arm in four places.?

“I’ve not been very fortunate this year,” she said, adding: “It’s a bit of a kick in the teeth but it certainly won’t stop me for next year.” (BBC)

The Hundred: Ben Stokes picked over Joe Root in England Test player draft ENGLAND all-rounder Ben Stokes was selected instead of Test captain Joe Root for the Leeds-based Northern Superchargers in The Hundred.

Root will play for the Nottingham-based Trent Rockets, while England fast bowler Jofra Archer will represent Southampton-based Southern Brave.

The eight new teams for next year had the chance to draft England’s male red-ball contracted players on Thursday.

Seam bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad were not chosen.

In a separate selection process on the day the competition was officially launched with team names,

badges and kits also unveiled, England women’s captain Heather Knight was picked by Lord’s-based London Spirit.

The men’s and women’s Hundred will run from 17 July to 16 August 2020.

There was a geographical element to the draft that meant Stokes was initially only eligible for the Northern Superchargers - who could pick Yorkshire and Durham players - and when coach Darren Lehmann opted for the all-rounder instead Root or Jonny Bairstow, Trent Rockets selected Root over Broad and Welsh Fire chose Bairstow.

“Obviously I have been associated with Yorkshire and that part of the world for a long period of time, it’ll always be

home to me,” Root told BBC Sport.

“But I have big connections with Nottingham too - my dad played there as a Colt and in the junior teams and second team and I’ve always loved playing there too.

“It’s a great venue to be involved in - the wicket there is fantastic, there are nice, small boundaries so it’s come together nicely in many ways.”

Root, who said he would like to play alongside Australia’s Mitchell Starc and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson for Trent Rockets, added: “This year has been monumental for cricket and we have seen achievements like never before.

“The best players in the world are coming here to

compete and we’re going to get the chance to test ourselves against them once again.

“There has never been a more exciting time for cricket.’’

The England Test players selected will all be paid by the England and Wales Cricket Board as part of their central contracts.

The eight men’s teams were also able to negotiate with and select two local ‘icon’ players from their catchment counties.

England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan was picked by London Spirit, all-rounder Moeen Ali joined Birmingham Phoenix and opener Jason Roy will play for Oval Invincibles, with all three players awarded the maximum £125,000 contract.

Suarez scores double in Barcelona’s win against Inter Milan

LUIS Suarez scored a fine double as Barcelona came from behind to beat Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Lautaro Martinez gave Antonio Conte’s Inter a deserved lead and went close to a second, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen expertly keeping out his header.

Luis Suarez had only scored twice in the past two Champions League seasons combined.

Suarez levelled with a wonderful volley from Arturo Vidal’s cross.

Then Lionel Messi, on his

return from an injury, found Suarez - whose first touch took him past defender Diego Godin - and he blasted in the

winner.

Those were Suarez’s first two Champions League group goals in over three years.

LVD Warriors have won four of their six games.

LDV Warriors stop Hartling Group’s unbeaten run in NCS Filipino Basketball League THE LDV Warriors kept their semifinal hopes alive after stopping one of the favourites for the title this year, the Hartling Group, when action in the regular season of the NCS Filipino Basketball League TCI continued on Sunday last at the Gus Lightbourne Sports Complex Court.

Long Bay Express with six consecutive wins, Allied Management (six wins and two defeats) and Hartling (five wins and one defeat) have booked their spots.

LDV would most likely take the final spot; given that their win last Sunday was number four in six games with two remaining.

A string of teams, including Sixt Sliders, MoneyGram Senders, Kim’s and 159 Paningit have registered two wins each.

OUTSCORED In their latest clash, the Warriors

outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters to register a 68-55 point win.

Mark Muana, who scored 10 points in the first period, led the winners with 17 points (nine of which were scored from downtown) and seven rebounds; Jeneboy Sayson, who also scored 10 points in the opener, finished with 15, while Ansong added 12 and Jimmy Singzon 11.

Hartling were led by Joseph Delfino, who finished with a game high 19 points, six rebounds and two steals. Delfino’s first five scoring shots were from beyond the arc.

Jhing Febre added 11 points and Alfe De Jesus nine.

AMS VICTORY Allied Management ensured that they finished their quota of games on a high when they whipped 159

Paningit by 40 points 90-50.

Allied had good support from their bench as they raced to a 25-12 first quarter lead. AMS were able to score at will throughout the game.

Starter Bong Masiclat led the attack with 19, while fellow starter Jasper Gregorio added 10.

The bench, however led by Arnold Ababao, who scored 19 and pulled down a whopping 15 rebounds, Jhayden Alfaro with 12 and Bong Zaguire with 11 contributed to the win.

In the other clash, Kim’s edged out the Sliders 59-58.

Jeff Cierva had a huge double double 19 points and 21 rebounds, while Anthony Boclot added 13 points and six rebounds.

Alejandro Tibalao led the Sliders with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while Renom Balawang added 13 points and five rebounds.

Virgil said that the panel discussions were greatly rewarding and allowed the participants to speak about issues experienced in their respective countries and to take part in the discussions.

She added that there were topics such as What are the Key Factors

needed for Gender Equality to Take Hold; Action not Words – Goals and Measures – Hold Leaders Accountable, Media and Women and Empowering and Dis-empowering etc.

“I found that the entire Forum surpassed my greatest expectations, I returned rejuvenated and totally empowered to share my experiences with Women in Sports and the larger communities especially our young girls in the schools. This conference was an ‘eye opener’ for me,” Virgil added.

Asher-Smith wins 200m gold at World Athletics Championships

Asher-Smith powered home in a national record 21.88 seconds to add gold to the silver she won in the 100m.

DINA Asher-Smith seized her chance to win the world championship 200 metres on Wednesday and become the first British woman to claim a global sprint title.

With many of the top medal contenders pulling out or skipping the event, Asher-Smith proved the class act in the field, powering home in a national record 21.88 seconds to add gold to the silver she won in the 100m.

“I don’t know what to say, I don’t think it’s properly sunk in,” AsherSmith said. “I’m lost for words. I dreamt of this and now it’s real.”

The once mighty United States, who had been a non-factor in the women’s sprints in Doha, also

benefitted from the scratches as Brittany Brown grabbed the silver in 22.22.

Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambundji completed the podium by grabbing bronze in 22.51.

The fight for medals was blown wide open when some of sprinting’s biggest names withdrew during the earlier rounds.

The race was missing the reigning world and Olympic champions in Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers and Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson who withdrew due to injuries.

Shaunae Miller-Uibo of Bahamas, owner of the fastest time this season, elected to race the 400m only due to

scheduling issues.

The world 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and bronze medallist Marie-Josee Ta Lou scratched because of soreness from their earlier races while Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare, who had run the third fastest time this season, was disqualified in her heat.

None of that mattered to AsherSmith who was focussed on making history, the 23-year-old blasting out of the blocks and in command coming off the bend before cruising to victory.

The victory doubled Britain’s medal tally at the championships, to two, both coming from Asher-Smith.

Gardiner twins top field in Second Annual National Youth Day Cycling Championship ACE youth cyclist Ethan Gardiner and his twin sister Alyssa claimed the top spots in the Cadets Division of the Second Annual National Youth Day Cycling Championship, which had over 15 young cyclists battle in several categories.

The event, which was held last Saturday at the National Stadium, began with the Cadets 1 Boys (12 miles) Cadet 1 Girls (six miles) and Cadet 2 Boys (eight miles) all leaving the starting line together on their respective routes along Venetian Road.

Ethan once again claimed the top spot in Cadets 1 Boys. He was followed by Elizario Clarke who was absent for a few races, but came back in good form.

Not to be outdone by her twin brother Ethan, Alyssa Gardiner placed first in Cadets 1 Girls.

First time racer and cousin Oriana Gardiner, came in a close second.

Kymani Ewing continued his domination of Cadets 2 Boys, with his friendly rival E-Mory James close on his heels.

The real MVPs of the day were Estheban Couture and Hayle

Williams. Though they both finished in third (Cadet 2 Boys and Cadet 1 Girls respectively), they did so after picking themselves up after major falls that could have easily ended their races. Their persistence was inspirational to both child and adult cyclists alike.

The next race, a one-miler was a family affair. The Registre sisters, Giselle in first and Gionaris in second, showed off strength and skills inherited from their father, Fred.

The final race was the cutest, funniest race held by the TCCF. As a two-year-old and an almost threeyear-old in a hail of giggles and happy screams, proved they could ride in a somewhat straight line.

Matthew brought home the final win of the evening for the Gardiner Clan. And little Elion Harvey placed second in fine style.

The days was fun for riders and non riders alike. With Bouncy castle, music, food and games.

According to information from the federation, it is looking forward to an even improved event next season

The Marauders, who won a thriller (12-11) against Jolly Ranchers in March, lost by a single point (1516) in their opener against Tipsy Turtles in the Super Elite Premier Championship Open League.

Meanwhile Elite team Nuff Said stormed to a 26-05 win over Iron Shore Cross Fit Wahoos.

The two games were the feature clashes of the opening week.

This season, the Turks and Caicos Islands Rugby Football Union, decided to run two leagues in an effort to keep the battles competitive, while giving the older players and newcomers more of a level playing field.

Of the eight teams, four will play the Pro-A league and the remainder the B-league or fun league.

According to information from the TCIRFU, “the B-league is a new league for over 30’s (women are unaffected by age and are free to choose which league they want to play in)….The Pro-A league will be treated more like a professional match, the referees will be stricter and you will be expected to act as if you were playing a real game of rugby. The B-league is for fun, referees will also need to be respected, but remember you are just there for a run around with mates.†Meanwhile the Coast Red Mist bettered the Tigers 18-10, while Unicorns of Doom whipped Jolly Ranchers 15-2.

“It’s a game we can win for sure, so I’m very motivated about it”, Fenelus said.

“This time I’m better, injury-free and 100% fit.”

“With 2007 being the last time TCI has hosted a Major Games, Sports Officials participated in the IAAF Observer Programme in Doha, Qatar, in view of hosting a Major Game in the TCI in the future. While I cannot speak to names and dates at this moment, Sport Officials are ensuring that when that time comes, we would be ready to mobilise.”

Haye-Smith will focus on World Indoor after World Championships run TCI’s top female athlete Yanique HayeSmith would focus her energies on the World Indoor Championships which is billed for China next March, after she completed her 2019 400M hurdles run at the IAAF World Championships this week.

The 29-year-old, who ran personal bests (also national records) in the event twice this year, could not match her top times.

Her 56.98s left her with an eighth place finish in Heat number four. If she was able to replicate either runs, in April and June of 55.65 and 55.58s, she would have qualified for the next round.

“I was not expecting the outcome of the race, nonetheless I have to be grateful for the experience and move on.”

Haye-Smith, who began competing for the TCI late last year added: “I did not compete for almost three month leading up to the World Championships, which hindered me not being in race sharp to compete at my best. I am an unsponsored athlete at the moment and to perform at my best, representing TCI it takes lots of support.”

Along with the World Indoors, HayeSmith would also focus on the Olympics next year.

Yanique Haye-Smith could not replicate her outstanding performances, which she ran earlier this year.

TCI, who have showed massive improvements on the field, not just in their attacks, but also in midfield and defensive will look to rebound from their loss to Guadeloupe (0-3).
