PNP selects 15 representatives for next general elections AMONG the 15 members of the Progressive National Party (PNP) vying for office in the next elections, seven of them are new to the local political arena. The names of the recent party appointments were announced during a press briefing at Progress House on Wednesday (September 18). The new electoral candidates are Otis ‘Chuck’ Morris, Matthew ‘Jay’ Stubbs and Randy Howell, all three of whom won their constituency votes. Three others are all island candidates Jamell Robinson, E Jay Saunders and Shaun Malcolm. The seventh man is Pedro Ariza, representative for Grand Turk South. Ariza had no contenders for the seat, as such he was nominated. Morris delivered a resounding defeat to incumbent for Grand Turk North and current member of parliament George Lightbourne, trouncing him 22-2 at the polls last Tuesday, September 11. Morris is a native of Grand Turk and a businessman. Stubbs also served a major upset to incumbent for the Bight and current member of parliament Portia StubbsSmith, securing 32 votes to her 23. Stubbs is an established businessman and former police officer. Howell, a Blue Hills native, had tied with Adrian Williams, another newcomer, 13-13. This parliamentary seat is held by a PDM government minister. All island candidate Jamell Robinson is a local businessman,

Samuel ‘Sammy’ Been - former government minister who served two and a half years in the Michael Misick administration as an elected representative for West Road and Overback (now Grand Turk North). Been is also a businessman of some repute. He secured 111 votes to Claudette Gibsons’ 68. Returning to contest the upcoming elections is Dameko Deen; he secured 49 votes from the Wheeland constituency. Deen, who had contested the 2016 general elections, defeated James Parker (17) and Finbar Grant (0). Meanwhile, other contenders in last week’s elections were Sharon Simmons for district one who received 20 votes and for district six Bernard Young got one vote and Lloyd Stubbs got 19 votes. Remarking on the electoral process during the press briefing was PNP leader, Washington Misick and deputy leader E Jay Saunders. Both men maintained that the process was free and clear and there were no improprieties. Saunders said that of the 500 plus voters that registered for ‘Super Tuesday’, only three names were added manually. “Despite the noise in the marketplace about how this process isn’t fair and you can’t take it seriously, of the 500 plus registered voters only three names there were issues with and they had to add them after the list was produced,” the deputy leader explained. In the upcoming months, the PNP

will be strategizing and planning the party’s manifesto, which will outline their policies and aims to take TCI forward. Hon. Misick promised that all of the candidates will undergo parliamentary training from January 2020. The candidates will be ratified by the national general council on October 12, provided none of them withdraw their names. Here’s a rundown of what the PNP slate of candidates looks like by district: FIVE CONSTITUENCIES CONTESTED AND WINNER:

SIPT trial adjourned to October THE SPECIAL Investigation and Prosecution Team’s trial of nine defendants accused of corruption in Government did not recommence on Monday (September 16) as scheduled. Instead, the proceedings will

resume on October 15, when the defence will put on its case. The delay is due to the recent tragic murder of the partner of SIPT defence lawyer Malcolm Bishop QC.

Caroline Rowatt, the UK’s head of mission in Haiti

UK security experts meet with TCI Government THE UNITED Kingdom dispatched a high-level security team to meet with local officials this week in response to rising levels of illegal immigration and violent crime in the territory. The team includes the UK’s defence attaché for the Caribbean, the UK’s serious crime representative, the London desk officer for the TCI and the UK’s head of mission in Haiti. Governor Nigel Dakin in a post on his Instagram page on Monday (September 16) disclosed that the team’s presence was requested by the Turks and Caicos Islands. Early this week the visitors were briefed by top brass of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and immigration officials. “The aim was to take them through the National Security Strategy that the premier and myself, and many others, have been working

on before taking it to the National Security Council for their considered views on Wednesday (September 18),” Governor Dakin wrote. The National Security Strategy has received a lot of press these past two weeks, months after it was rejected last year by the council and sent back to be redrafted. “Clearly gun crime was an important element of the briefing particularly what’s being done right now - but the two issues that can most knock the country seriously off course are the impacts of natural disaster and further uncontrolled mass immigration,” the governor remarked on his social media page. He added: “Both feature heavily in the draft strategy with fresh and effective approaches to old problems.” He also stated that once the strategy is approved there are a series

of consultative steps the Government intends to go through. “But this is an important document in allocating our resources appropriately and giving overall direction to some brilliant operational officers and officials we have across Government. “I can’t comment more on this yet, but will with the premier, in detail, once the draft is agreed.” On Wednesday Governor Dakin and Caroline Rowatt, the UK’s head of mission in Haiti, met with the Haitian consul. “I intend to visit Haiti as soon as the opportunity presents itself and asked the consul to pass that message back,” he said. “I hope this starts to give you a sense of just one part of the strategy which is all about strengthening international and regional partnerships to ensure we are

properly sharing intelligence, and then going on to synchronise multinational operations. “I’ve spent a large part of my career working in this way and the problems we face aren’t going to be faced down by TCI on her own. “When a problem is significant and crosses borders you need partners.” Lieutenant Commander Justin Materjka of the US Coastguard also flew in to join in discussions. “There will be some important changes coming in the future in the way we work with the US Coastguard and the types of capability we look to the UK to help us develop,” the governor said. “In terms of interdiction we will have more capability available next year but more importantly - and away from obvious physical presence - the trick we need to pull off is to turn our

Independent force to investigate after man shot dead by police AN INDEPENDENT police force will be called in to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of a man by a police officer this week. Daniel Been was shot dead in Bassy Yard in Five Cays, Providenciales, at about 3.20pm on Wednesday (September 18). According to a police press statement, officers were responding to a report of an incident in the vicinity when they met Been. Further details have yet to be released. Cops on the scene recovered a non-police issue firearm and none of their ranks were injured during the incident. Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting in a comment on the incident said: “This matter is under investigation and as

protocol we will seek the support of an independent police force to investigate the circumstances of the discharge of the police firearm.” Been was recently released on parole from prison. In 2015, he was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm and keeping ammunition following the death of his four-year-old nephew. The child had gotten hold of a loaded gun owned by Been during the early morning hours of July 26, 2015, and accidentally shoot himself in the face. The toddler was dead on arrival at the hospital. Been was sentenced to five years in prison.

operations into intelligence which again spins up further operations and so on.” He stressed that while the sloops provide the start point, the end point is harming their business model. “Our US colleague put it well when he said that the smugglers, who started with drugs, simply move between the cargo with the best return. At present that lucrative cargo is people. “We don’t want to just interdict and disrupt this type or that type of ‘cargo’ but the traffickers and those who profit from it.” The visiting team presented about respective UK and US contributions and endorsed the National Security Strategy at the National Security Council on Wednesday. They then withdrew to allow Governor Dakin and Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson to present the draft strategy.

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

CAN A NEW TEAM BEAT GUN CRIME? IN RESPONSE to the recent rapid increase in gun crime across the TCI the police are forming a dedicated ‘gun crime team’ to deal with those who are committing these offences. Will this bring a solution to the problem? What are your thoughts?

So much needed

Informers are needed. Immigration control is needed to stem the tide of gun entries from Haiti (tell the British to attend to this foreign policy imperative). Trustworthy and honest local immigration is needed to be put in place - so clean out that department. The governor’s purposeful action is needed (as distinct from customary left tray to right tray and nice talk inaction). Social and service clubs and church involvement in effective ways is needed. A trade school is needed. Modern prison rehabilitative practices are needed. Well - how much more is needed? Elected politicians with purpose and service as distinct from pocket and ‘me first’ attitudes are needed irrespective of political persuasion to mobilise the country.

Aid and abet

If it anything like the proliferation of guns in the Bahamas, the persons who are most involved in gun running are illegals, vessels passing through your porous borders and the police. Yes, the police themselves! Bring the British to battle that problem. Too many TC Islanders want to get rich quick, not caring that they are harming our country, and as matter of course local people, including the police, will aid and abet them for money or friends, families or lovers.

The money challenge

At issue, is a need for more resources to the police, capacity building, the development of a new culture of responsibility and crime fighting. Now what if there were no SIPT trials, no massive royal London cover-ups to protect their own boys or the need for certain lawyers to come to the TCI to become millionaires overnight? There’d perhaps be more than $100 million to fight crime, pay police over time, personnel

to weed out the kids, greater training in the region and UK. What if TC Islanders didn’t have to pay over $100 million per year for over 25 years to the medical project, there’d be so much monies in place to educate, train, provide the people with greater help and of course pay the police and increase training. Arguably, but one can only dream. These royal cover ups prevent quite a lot, don’t they? So, while these issues have ‘nothing’ to do with the crime wave, unless TC Islanders get justice in this diversion of funds forever, we will be challenged in finding monies to do the things that need to be done. The spectre and image that some persons can get away with high level corruption, plea bargain, get off, avoid any kind of trial sends the wrong message and we can rest assured that the youth are watching.

Four steps

A unit dedicated to address gun crimes could assist somewhat in bringing a solution to the problem, however, the following is needed to make the system work: 1) The general public (particularly friends and families) need to report and turn in anyone known to be in possession of illegal firearms. 2) Skilled law enforcement officers are needed to collect evidence properly and make proper arrests. 3) Prosecutors are needed who are able to win convictions. 4) A proper prison system geared towards rehabilitation is imperative. We need to model countries like Finland and Norway whose recidivist rates are stellar.

Fight importation

The TCI does not allow gun ownership without a special permit. In three cases we are aware of, these permits were used to stop crime and capture criminals. However, currently criminals own most of the guns. We need to fight the illegal importation of guns and illegal immigrants before the crimes happen.

Weed out the kids

Recently it was announced that the National Security Council composed of ministers, the premier, police commissioner assembled a specialist team composed of “detectives devoted to targeting violent gun offenders”. There are certain social, competency, policy and long-term financial capacity issues arising. What is needed is a team of persons expert in law enforcement, forensics and crime scene control. Crime scenes are routinely abandoned, compromising evidence. There are certain officers on the force who are childish, bullies, not expert at anything, improperly trained and should be removed. This lack of training and responsibility is symptomatic of a wider incompetence, an inability to track violent criminal offenders. The decision of the Government and the council must be welcomed as this is an opportunity for real change. Let there be more training, the inculcation and a culture of responsibility and the weeding out of the kids on the police force as people’s lives are at risk. One could hope that this gun team should be carefully selected to find mature personnel. The council’s agenda to train and counsel disaffected youths must be supported. There’s a desperate need to address the problem of

absentee fathers who’ve been freed by society to neglect their children. This type of irresponsible behaviour needs to be outlawed, socially condemned and a new culture of fatherhood emerge. So, we reap the wind and what we sew. Regarding training, establish a school with responsible officers, policy personnel to maintain and update policing strategy. There needs to be leadership in the judiciary. Most recently Justice Aziz, set an unprecedented good example by demanding an end to malicious and incompetent prosecutions. Bad prosecution methods create the scenarios for the true criminal to get off on appeal. Yet all of this sends the wrong message to the wider community and would reduce confidence in the courts and law enforcement process.

Government outlines action against crime NEW scanning equipment, community policing and stiffer penalties for gun offences are just some of the actions being taken to stamp out violent crime, according to the Government. In a bid to be more transparent about its crime fighting strategies, on Monday (September 16) the Government released a statement on its latest initiatives. “The TCIG has always outlined crime as a major priority and since coming into office has promoted the development of an effective crime strategy to improve citizen safety, prevention efforts and deterrence of crime,” it read. “However, in recent weeks there has been an evident spike in gun related offences and reports of home

invasions and robberies in the Turks and Caicos Islands.” To reduce these “seemingly isolated incidents of crime” and to actively take action against crime in the TCI the Government has implemented numerous initiatives. These will “assist police in ensuring the safety of TCI citizens and are evolving to improve upon existing initiatives in the fight against criminals”, the statement continued. Firstly, a comprehensive National Security Strategy is being developed to effectively confront crime throughout the country. This multipronged approach will identify immediate national security threats, efficiently manage the resources currently available, procure additional tools and resources for

internal and external security agencies, strengthen partnerships internally and regionally and internationally collaborating on security initiatives and will engage the TCI community in the fight against crime. The introduction of scanning equipment at TCI ports will aid in the fight against the importation of weapons, the Government statement said. This has been budgeted for in this current financial year 2019-2020. The formation of a Border Protection Unit and Central Intelligence Unit will unify all forces in defence of the territory. Marine protection will include the acquisition of drone aircraft and additional sea craft to strengthen the current sloop interception rate. “The relationship between the residents of these islands and the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) is critical to discouraging criminality,” the statement said. The manner in which patrols are carried out by the RTICPF officers has been reassessed and since there has been an increase in foot patrols and a more strategic police presence

in communities that are hot spots for criminal activity. The new Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting and senior executive team for RTCIPF conducted a review of the force and TCIG has agreed to provide funding to recruit 20 officers and to support the establishment of a specialized gun squad. Since coming to office, TCIG has increased the mandatory sentence from five years to seven years for gun crimes. In July this year the Government launched the ‘Chance for Change Programme’ which aims to rehabilitate offenders through programmes administered at Her Majesty’s Prison in Grand Turk and ultimately decrease the rate of recidivism (reoffending). This initiative offers drug and addiction rehabilitation programmes, skill development in agriculture at the on-site farm, culinary skill development, educational opportunities and anger management sessions to support the transition of offenders into wider society upon release. It continued: “TCIG believes that there must be a means of making Turks

Under the tree Director of the Tourist Board Ramon Andrews

Tourist Board director arrested RAMON Andrews, Director of the TCI Tourist Board, was arrested this week. Reports to the Weekly News indicate that Andrews was arrested on Monday (September 16) by the TCI Integrity Commission on several charges. No information was forthcoming from commission, as checks with them elicited only the standard, “No comment”. Similarly, the Tourist Board had nothing to say on the director’s legal troubles. However, reliable information

indicates that the allegations are in regard to financial improprieties in office. It has since been confirmed that Andrews was placed on administrative leave until further notice. Reports also indicate that the director is yet to appear before a magistrate’s court. Andrews was first appointed to his post in November 2016 for a two year period. He succeeded current Minister of Tourism Ralph Higgs, who resigned from the post to contest the 2016 general elections.

and Caicos Islanders more employable, specifically the youth; hence, the Government is hastily working towards commencing a trade school at the start of the new academic year.” Due to the ongoing criminal activity of arson in Grand Turk, TCIG made a decision in its first supplementary to purchase a domestic fire truck for Grand Turk signalling the restart of domestic fire services on this island. A fire truck has been secured during the last budget cycle. The Government will be stiffening the penalties for those found guilty of arson. “The TCI Government stands with the governor and the commissioner of police in the path ahead to reducing the increase in incidents of violent crime and maintaining the peace and tranquillity of these Islands. “Our individual and communal safety in addition to the consequences that incidents of crime and violence can have on our tourism, makes us all equal stakeholders in this vexing fight against crime. “TCIG implores that together we must all do our parts to effectively assist in the efforts toward a safer Turks and Caicos Islands for all.”

‘We fight, we make up; this is a passionate party’ PNP leader Washington Misick says the party remains united BY OLIVIA ROSE “WE FIGHT, we make up, we love, we respect each other’s opinion and we do it passionately, this is a passionate party.” These sentiments were expressed by the Leader of the Opposition Hon. Washington Misick on Wednesday (September 18) during a press conference at Progress House in Providenciales. Misick, who spoke to the press while flanked by the Progressive National Party (PNP)’s newly elected candidates for the 2020 general elections, dismissed rumours of divisions. He stressed that the PNP remains “united” in spite of attempts by some detractors to sow seeds of discord. “I am extremely proud of the discipline that I see, and I know to the man in the street it may not look so because they hear of wars and rumours of wars in the Progressive National Party - that is not the reality. “Our deliberations, some may call it in fightings, I don’t see it as that at all. It’s a big fat party, everybody is invited and everybody is welcomed.” Misick’s remarks come on the heels of allegations purporting a breach in the party’s constitution. These accusations were made by MP for Grand Turk North, George Lightbourne, who recently called for the resignation of both Washington Misick and E Jay Saunders. He claimed they are not the duly elected leader and deputy leader of

the PNP. Lightbourne in a public letter threatened to take the matter to the courts if they failed to comply. He said: “I am going to file a lawsuit to have the Hon. Washington Missick, MP and Mr E Jay Saunders removed as leader and deputy leader of the PNP, as their positions are unconstitutional and a total breach of the party’s constitution. “Belongers are being disenfranchised because political leaders in the territory are ineffective as they are only thinking of themselves.” These accusations ignited a hailstorm of criticism on social media and in other quarters. Some residents even said they would not be casting their ballot for the party if they did not “get it together”. However, Misick said the PNP is built on tenets of democracy and as such members are allowed to disagree. “Contrary to what you may have heard, contrary to what may have been communicated, I believe we ended up with a slate of candidates for the constituencies that were contested. “At the end of that contest I see contenders hugging each other, congratulating each other and promising their support - to me that looks like a party that is united. “We fight, we makeup, we love, we respect each other’s opinion and we do it passionately, this is a passionate party.

“People who put themselves up to represent the people of this country are passionate about what they do and that to me is admirable,” he said. “What you see being displayed in this party, no one should have any doubts about the democratic principles of the Progressive National Party.” He said it is the only political party in the TCI that puts out an invitation to the general public, whether a member of the PNP or not. “We recognise that everyone has a contribution and they should be given an opportunity to serve.” Misick said that following the revelation of candidates for next year’s general election, the party is now focused on creating a sound and practicable strategy to ensure it hits the ground running come 2020. He said: “Progress does not come without hard work. That’s why it’s important to have organisational structure in place, because if you don’t have organisational structure in place you don’t have a strategy, you can’t set targets and therefore there’s no measurement. “So a lot of what the PNP has been doing over the last eight months, we’ve been focused on making sure all of the pieces are in place. “…one of the things we don’t want to do as Government is to end up in parliament without concrete, realistic, enforceable plans that we as a party would not have tested before we actually included them in our manifesto.”

Sloop arrival is a ‘human tragedy’, says police chief A HAITIAN boat with 111 people on board was intercepted as it entered TCI waters illegally early on Thursday morning (September 19). Police officers from the Marine Branch safely escorted the men and women to Providenciales where they will be processed and returned home to Haiti. In a police press release Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting acknowledged the “human tragedy that rests behind the movement of people from Haiti to the TCI”. But added that the protection of the border is an important function and the Royal TCI Police Force’s Marine Branch. He said officers work in

partnership with colleagues from the Coastal Radar Station, Immigration Department and other members of the force to undertake the role with “great courage, diligence and commitment”. “I am pleased this sloop was intercepted and all persons on board were safely brought ashore,” he added. The red and blue, 25 foot wooden boat with two outboard engines was intercepted at 2.46am just south of the South Dock Port, Providenciales. Marine Branch officials used motor vessel Sea Pursuit and motor vessel Sea Guardian to escort the boat to shore. Eighty-six Haitian men,

24 Haitian women and one Vietnamese man were detained. In an Instagram post on Thursday, Governor Nigel Dakin spoke of the arrival of the sloop and recent efforts to reduce illegal immigration. “Behind the scenes, without fuss and since we both assumed post, we’ve been working to strengthen the team at the radar station, increase our own capability at sea and learn from success and failure,” he wrote. “We don’t claim perfection (for the moment some will still get through) but the odds are shortening and we are determined they will continue to do so. “Credit again to those officers that serve at night on our seas.”

Grand Turk man serving six months for sexual assault TWO months after admitting to the unlawful and indecent sexual assault of a Dominican woman, Stavardo Talbot is now serving time in prison for the offence. On September 6, the Grand Turk native appeared before Chief Justice Margaret RamsayHale and was sentenced to six months in prison. In July, Talbot pleaded guilty to the crime, after initially denying the charge. It was during jury selection in

the Grand Turk Supreme Court that he had a change of heart, calling an immediate halt to the proceedings as he admitted that he had sexually assaulted the woman. The man had been placed on bail since he was initially charged and after having confessed to the crime. He has since been arrested and is now a guest at Her Majesty’s Prison in Grand Turk serving his sentence.

Dominic Swann acquitted of gun and ammo conviction THE COURT of Appeal has acquitted Grand Turk man Dominic Swann who was serving a seven year sentence for discharging a firearm at another man. When Swann appeared before the appellate judges on Wednesday (September 18) his appeal was allowed. Shortly after, his conviction and seven year sentence of the crime were quashed and he was acquitted. He was represented by attorney Lara Maroof-Misick

Swann was sentenced in October 2018, following a jury trial. He was also previously charged and tried before a jury of for masterminding a plot to bribe a witness in his firearm matter for which he is now freed. His cousin Omar Harvey was also charged for his involvement. Both men were later found not guilty of charges of bribery and attempting to pervert the course of public justice.

Three plead not guilty to drugs possession ONE man pleaded guilty to drugs possession while three others denied the offence in court last week. The 27-year-old admitted possession of controlled

drugs but the others, aged 26, 40 and 50, pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday, September 12. The men were granted bail to return to court on October 24.

Defence lawyer queries witness testimonies in murder appeal NINE months after being tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murder, Malix Cox returned to court to appeal the verdict. Cox was found guilty last December of killing young mother and wife, Andreika Stubbs-Saintelmon, and causing grievous bodily harm to 17-year-old Tyrone Smith. The fatal shooting happened on March 23, 2018, outside the Versace Bar on Leeward Highway in Providenciales. Last week, Cox fought vigorously for his freedom when he appeared in the Court of Appeal for his two days of appellate hearing. However, he will have to wait until January 2020 to know his fate. The hearing began on Thursday, September 12, during which his attorney Lara Maroof-Misick presented compelling arguments for her client’s release. She attacked the reliability of two prosecution witnesses - Cox’s co-accused in the murder, Anthony Francis, and victim Tyrone Smith. The lawyer called into question the methods used by the prosecution in securing Francis’ testimony. She argued that in soliciting the witness’s testimony the Crown offered to drop the murder charge against the man while the remaining gun and ammunition charges stood, thereby using them as inducement for Francis to finger the appellant in the shooting. During his testimony, Francis said he saw Cox with a gun, and that he, Francis drove the car with them in it away from the bar after the shooting took place. He testified that he did not see the shooting first hand as he was still in the vehicle when Cox exited and returned.

Lawyer Lara Maroof-Misick questioned methods used by the prosecution to get testimony

Maroof-Misick also pointed to the unreliable witness statements and testimony offered on the stand by Smith. Initially, while in the hospital receiving treatment for a gunshot wound, Smith had told police that he did not see the shooter. Upon further questioning, the witness maintained that he did not see the shooter as his back was turned to where the shots originated. However, in a third witness statement given to police, the teenager said that on the night in question, a gun was fired from the same location in which he had seen Cox. Maroof-Misick contended that Francis’ third statement to police was only made after media and social

reports were published accompanied by the appellant’s image. The lawyer argued her grounds for acquittal over several hours, while prosecutor Clement Joseph took an hour to lay out the Crown’s case that the evidence against Cox was compelling, sufficient and that the conviction should stand. After paying keen attention to the arguments over the two day hearing, the three appellate judges reserved their decision until next year. Cox’s trial was the first ever appeal against a judge only trial, which is the second such trial to be held in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Justice Shiraz Aziz conducted the trial without a jury in the Grand Turk Supreme Court.

Two men charged with robbery A NINETEEN-year-old man has been charged with robbery and handling stolen goods following an armed raid at a Providenciales restaurant. On Sunday (September 8) at about 12.23am, a call was made to 911 Central to report a robbery at Diana’s in the Market Place. According to the complainants, two masked men with firearms entered the restaurant and demanded money. They took two purses, three cell phones, jewellery, cash, identification cards and bank cards.

The robbers escaped on foot. On Friday, September 13, the accused was arrested and charged after a black Samsung Galaxy S9 phone that was stolen during the robbery, was found in his possession. The next day the same man was charged with aggravated burglary and kidnapping in relation to an earlier robbery on Thursday, September 5. A search warrant was executed at the residence of a 23-year-old man where police recovered two Guatemalan $5 bills, a .40 calibre

spent shell, and a .38 spent shell. The items were seized for investigational purposes and the man was charged with the same offences. The 19-year-old was also charged in relation to the robbery of a black Toyota Vitz on September 2. The vehicle was handed back to the owner on Thursday, September 12. The men appeared in court on Tuesday (September 17) to answer to the charges. Anyone with information into any of the above crimes can call 911 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1-800-8477.

Jamacian soccer coach freed of carnal knowledge conviction THE COURT of Appeal has called the trial and conviction of Jamaican national and soccer coach Anthony Dale Nation, a miscarriage of justice. When Nation appeared in court this past week with his lawyer Sheena Mair to challenge his conviction for the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl, his freedom was swift, as were the reprimands for prosecutorial misconduct aimed at the Crown. Following a jury trial presided over by Judge Shiraz Aziz, Nation was sentenced on December 13, to serve four and one consecutive years in prison on two counts. Nation’s lawyer challenged the conviction on five grounds: the record of the case is incomplete; the prosecution of her client was done in bad faith; the trial judge erred in allowing evidence of an offence not before the court and from a report that was not tendered into evidence; the judge again erred in allowing an amendment to the prosecution’s case that

prejudiced the defendant’s case and that the sentence imposed was excessive in the circumstances. Mair also put to the court even more damning evidence - that the failure of the prosecution to disclose highly relevant medical and forensic evidence was a distinct disadvantage to the appellant’s case. The appellate judges agreed with the lawyer’s contention that the prosecution acted dishonourably in not disclosing the medical evidence because it would have assisted the defence’s case. The lawyer presented that the damning evidence indicated that the child was not sexually penetrated. Nation was immediately released from custody, however he was immediately arrested by immigration officials for deportation as his work permit had expired while he was serving time in prison on charges that have since been thrown out of court.

Lessons learned from the hurricane IN THE Turks and Caicos Islands we faced hurricanes Irma and Maria back to back in 2017. Two years later, there are still individuals and businesses that have not recovered fully from these storms. This month, our brothers and sisters in the Bahamas were faced with hurricane Dorian which destroyed lives and properties. It’s believed it will cause millions of dollars to restore these islands to a normal state. Are there any lessons we can learned from these hurricanes? ALWAYS BE PREPARED One of the main lessons learned is for us to be prepared. Of course, it would have been a challenge to prepare for a monster like hurricane Dorian as this storm was like no other storm to take place in the Bahamas. The Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies (DDME) does a very good job in providing us with preparation tips. Take those tips seriously by adhering to what they suggest. I know many of us pray, hoping the storms do not come and sometimes we do not prepare because we believe that the storms will not come or the storms will not be that bad. However, we live in a hurricane zone and the season is from June to

November, and so it is highly likely that a storm will come but that does not mean you should discontinue praying. It means we should be prepared. Have an evacuation plan and a contingency plan. INSURANCE I know some of us have concerns about getting insurance for our property due to the price. However, please ensure that your property is insured whether you have a mortgage or not. A friend of mine in the Bahamas who had insurance when there was a previous hurricane was able to rebuild their home that was damaged from the insurance proceeds. However, he did not continue with insurance as they were debt free and did not appreciate the need for it. Unfortunately, the family just lost their home as a result of hurricane Dorian and so they have to start all over. I know the insurance can be costly but it is worth the risk of losing everything especially if you do not have any savings. The insurance company will allow you to have a payment plan over so many months. I also recommend that businesses may want to consider getting insurance for business interruption so that in the event of a storm they

can get claim for loss of business. FAMILY MATTERS There was so much concern by family and friends when they were unable to contact or locate their family members. Sometimes we take our families for granted and don’t even realise the importance of family until a storm comes. The good thing though is that storms unite family and friends and therefore the material things we focus so much on come and go. They are not important like your family. Keep the unity and care for each other even when there are no storms. ALWAYS HELP WHEN YOU CAN There has been a significant amount of outpouring of help from many countries, individuals and organisations to assist the Bahamas

in this crisis. I know sometimes we complain when our country donates to other countries after a major storm. However, we don’t know the future and it’s best to help others if you are in a position to do so. We do not know when our time will come for assistance. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND My friend who lost his home said that despite the massive flooding, he was not impacted by the water because he was residing on an elevated level. It is suspected that the persons that died, died because of the flooding and therefore if we can find places that are on higher ground then perhaps some lives would have been saved from flooding. Of course, this may be a challenge given that our Islands are basically flat. However, there are some elevated areas.

EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT FEATURES Sometimes after a storm, there is so much red tape in procuring things in the country and as a result restoration and help is delayed. Thankfully, in the TCI, there are provisions in our ordinance for waivers of the procurement ordinance in the event of emergencies. ENFORCEMENT OF OUR BUILDING CODES I know we have very good building codes. However, many of us are guilty of taking shortcuts after the plans are approved in order to save on material costs. The best thing to do is follow the approved building plans. Hurricane Dorian has caused catastrophic damage to the Bahamas. Maybe there are some lessons we can learn from the storms but no matter how much we prepare ourselves, we cannot prevent the storms. The best thing to do is follow the warnings and evacuate the areas before the storm arrives. I hope these storms taught us not to focus on material things as they can easily be demolished. Likewise, lives can be lost as is evident from the recent storm therefore give your life to the Lord.

The world at war COMMENTARY

THE WORLD is now undergoing World War IV. World War I and II, shooting wars, are in the history books and the Cold War, World War III, is still being written. It was thought that this was a war between communism and capitalism. Between Russia and its Asian allies and the USA and its western friends including our mother country the UK. When the wall separating the territorial spoils of World War II came down at president Ronald Reagan’s request, it seemed the USA had won again. Now it is obvious the communist/capitalist war is still raging. The voting population of the world has yet to mature. The world changed when 9/11 happened 18 years ago. Voters in their 30s were babes when 9/11

happened and they do not recognise the significance of that day. A splinter group of radical Saudis paid the USA back for their interference in Iraq and Kuwait. Attacks were repeated on a smaller scale in France and England. Those countries also had interfered in the Middle East prior, during, and after World War II. All this was due to the amount of oil under the sand of those desert lands.

It took decades to understand the consequences of the Japanese attack on the USA naval base at Pearl Harbour, World War II and its aftermath. I was reminded of the TCI’s involvement a few days ago when I watched a 1941 film showing a British operated American four stack destroyer sinking a German submarine which was attacking a supply ship in route to Britain. Fifty destroyers were given to

England in exchange for American bases, now closed, here in Grand Turk and South Caicos. Currently World War IV is based right in our neighbour’s country. The USA Democratic party is now having its heart modified from liberal socialism to outright communism where the government owns all the businesses. This has already happened to General Motors, once the largest USA corporation. After decades of Democrats regulating it into trouble president Barack Obama had to bail it out along with its thousands of taxproducing jobs. Now those workers plan a strike. Meanwhile USA’s main newspaper, the New York Times, has become another commie rag. In 2016, half of the USA voters had to take anything that might return

them to the 50s and 60s and they ended up with the notorious deal maker, Trump! Now the Democrats who were sure Hillary Clinton would win in 2016 have thrown her on the scrap heap of history along with Bill. Hillary won the popular vote so why not re-run her? Certainly she will attract more votes than dementia drifter Joe Biden who has trouble recognising his own principles. Perhaps the Clintons are too capitalistic? As Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela struggle with their inhuman communist ways, the UK tries to escape from the socialist EU with Brexit via a narrow margin of voters. World War IV is well underway.

British neglect

PART TWO THERE is nothing new about undocumented persons arriving on our shores. However, the current unrest in Haiti and the increased job opportunities developing in Providenciales, have prompted a monumental increase in immigration violations, the cost of which is exacerbating the financial burden on the TCI taxpayer. Since 2013, we have averaged nearly $2 million per year in apprehending, detaining, feeding and transporting persons arrested for immigration violations in the TCI, and the cost is continuing to rise. Our taxpayer dollars would be better spent on education, infrastructure or protecting the environment. A few of these immigration violations were overstay violations and some were a failure to depart upon the expiration of a work permit, but the overwhelming vast majority of these immigration violations

began with the illegal penetration of our sovereign borders by boats from Haiti. If you will recall in the first paragraph of this commentary (last week) and the TCI constitution, our “defence and external affairs are the responsibility of the United Kingdom government”. The British continue to neglect that responsibility. I will gratefully acknowledge that over the years the British have, in emergencies, sent RAF C-130 Hercules transport planes after a hurricane, Fleet Auxiliary support ships on occasion or frigate’s while on patrol in the Caribbean, and that recently London funded helicopter patrols and paid for repairs to our radar warning system. But these are mere Band Aids when the patient is in need of antibiotics and a blood transfusion. There has never been a clear, concise action plan by the British to provide a defence of our sovereign borders that would prevent routine penetration of those borders by

BY SHAUN MALCOLM poachers or human, drug and weapons traffickers, despite their obligation to do so. Complaining to the British or suggesting that they solve our problems has not worked out well for us in the past. The FCO usually ends up sending us a washed-up bureaucrat (sometimes a drunkard) to solve our problems with a half-filled toolbox, few spare parts, if any, and a budget that wouldn’t fund the

annual cost of coffee at the Home Office. I’m suggesting that our Government should develop a proper and effective border protection plan and demand funding from the UK. A proper and effective border protection plan would likely encompass a combination of groundbased radar, fast patrol boats and a spotter plane. We have boat skippers. We have trained pilots. In addition, the practice of intercepting illegal migrant vessels at sea and towing them back to our Islands so we can process, detain, feed, house, guard and repatriate these people by airline seat, is not an effective deterrent. I propose we commission a ferrytype passenger vessel (maybe two) of suitable size that we can dispatch to rendezvous when illegal migrant vessels are detected by a spotter plane and intercepted by a fast patrol boat. We would transfer the illegal migrants to the passenger vessel and ferry them directly back to Cap-

Haitian. The illegal transport vessel could be scuttled at sea. I suspect that if we began a practice of intercepting illegal migrant vessels and persons at sea, scuttling their transport vessel and immediately repatriating them within 24 hours or less, we would dissuade the masses and substantially reduce the arrival of people and boats and subsequently, the illegal guns and drugs that are arriving to our shores in those same boats. As Turks and Caicos Islanders, we need to develop the solution to this problem ourselves and then ask the UK, and maybe even the USA, for the required funding. We have few choices. Our infrastructure and institutions, health and educational, cannot continue to absorb or manage an increase of thousands of illegal migrants every year while we are simultaneously becoming overrun by guns, drugs and crime. We must act and the British must honour their moral responsibilities and commitments.

THE VIEW FROM EUROPE

Reassessing the role of cruise tourism CRUISE tourism has become a big business with the Caribbean now accounting for more than 35 percent of all such vacations globally. This year, more ships will sail in or through Caribbean waters than in any other part of the world, with many of the 100 plus new vessels under construction destined to do the same. Despite this, no government or industry body has yet been able to focus with any success on how little the cruise lines contribute to Caribbean development, government revenues, or the local economy. Nor have they found ways that equitably relate cruise tourism to the now regional economic importance of the hotel sector, the ancillary onshore demand that long-stay visitors create, or the higher taxes they pay. Statistics produced by the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) show that there were 29.2 million cruise ship arrivals into the Caribbean in 2018; a figure roughly equal to the 30.2 million long stay visitors who came by air to stay in hotels and other onshore facilities. However, these figures are misleading. Cruise ship passengers almost all stayed for only a small part of a day and visited multiple countries, raising questions about double counting.

BY DAVID JESSOP

In contrast, visitors who arrived by air stayed on average for seven nights in a single location contributing, according to CTO, 11.5 times more than cruise passengers to the local economy and to government revenues. Unfortunately, there seems to be little in the way of consistent or reliable recent reporting as to exactly how much either category of visitor left behind of what they spent. Figures produced by the cruise industry, governments and tourist boards provide some indication of gross spending, but for not well explained reasons vary significantly from country to country and are not up to date. Reports relating to 2015 indicate that cruise visitors to the US Virgin Islands spent between $138 and $158 while the average visitor arriving there by air spent between $200 to $250 each day of their stay. However, figures for cruising to

other destinations for the same year are much lower with, for example, such visitors to the Bahamas recorded as spending $83 and to Barbados $78. Help is however at hand to better understand the broader impact of cruise tourism and the issues that governments and the region’s tourism industry after a long period of silence ought to revisit. In June, the Washington-based Centre for Responsible Travel (CREST) published a detailed and balanced study, ‘Cruise tourism in the Caribbean: Selling sunshine’. Edited by the organisation’s outgoing executive director Dr Martha Honey, it sets out for industry professionals the ways in which governments, tourist boards, citizens and the industry might change the nature of their future discourse with the cruise lines. Apart from containing a contemporary analysis of cruise

tourism, its environmental and social impacts, and the effects of climate change and over tourism, its 180 pages outline the reforms needed if cruise tourism is to bring greater benefit to the region. Although some of the solutions it proposes will undoubtedly prove controversial with the cruise industry, the publication identifies many practical ways to resolve the problems they have created. It offers ideas as to how to address the issue of the low head taxes that the cruise lines presently pay to government, suggests the need to incentivise home porting, indicates the important lessons to be learned from the negative experiences of Venice and Barcelona, discusses length of stay, and points to the positive models elsewhere the region might emulate. But more importantly ‘Selling sunshine’ suggests the need for a cruise industry that is genuinely Caribbean focused rather than one that exist solely to benefit the owners of the big cruise companies. As such, its narrative and recommendations require serious consideration by any Caribbean politician who genuinely has at heart the need for national and social development. ‘Selling sunshine’ follows an earlier interesting commentary by

Robert MacLellan, the managing director of MacLellan and Associates, a Caribbean based hospitality consultancy. He suggests that to have the normally intransigent cruise companies bring greater benefit, Caribbean governments should learn from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and establish an Organisation of Tourism Economy Countries (OTEC). He argues that the weak negotiating position of individual Caribbean and Central American governments has many similarities to OPEC member states 60 years ago, and that a ‘rebalancing’ strategy should now be pursued by the Caribbean when it comes to the cruise lines. In this way, he suggests, not only could the issue of head taxes be addressed but other issues of benefit to the region might be considered. Recent conferences on tourism held in Jamaica and Washington demonstrate that there is a growing appetite and anger among Caribbean participants for change. They say that what is required is a more equitable basis on which cruise ships operate in the region. Frank Comito, the executive director of the Caribbean Hotel and CONTINUED 

High school pilots TCI’s first sixth form SEVEN students have signed up to take courses in the TCI’s first public school sixth form programme. They began their Government funded studies on Thursday (September 19) at Clement Howell High School in Providenciales. The pupils will be pursuing two units of the subject areas of their choice over a two-year period. At the end of each unit they will sit examinations. Topics offered include accounting, business management, entrepreneurship, English literature, sociology, information technology, food and nutrition, physical education, tourism management and environmental science. Minister of Education Hon. Karen Malcolm spoke with the students, teachers, staff of the first cohort of sixth formers. She explained that the initiative provides an alternative to students who would have been interested in pursuing post-secondary training. It will better prepare them

to matriculate into university programmes or develop skills and competence in technical vocational areas, free of cost, she added. “This is another milestone in my Government’s plans to improve access to education for all.” Since 1994 the TCI Government created structures to facilitate postsecondary training and tertiary education with the establishment of the TCI Community College. Even though efforts had been made to structure a system spanning primary to postsecondary and tertiary education, the process at the highest level is still emerging, a Government press release explained. The British West Indies Collegiate and the TCI Community College are the only two institutions in the territory where students can undertake studies at the sixth form level.

Tourism Association (CHTA), believes that there is plenty of room for both the land and sea-based industry but what is required is for cruise lines involvement to be more balanced. He observes that while the cruise lines have been a good corporate partner in times of crisis, supporting the immediate relief and recovery of destinations affected by hurricanes, many in the industry believe that they should be doing far more to protect and enhance the environment, develop the tourism product, support local businesses and grow the Caribbean’s tax base. He says that hotels and other local tourism partners bear the brunt of the tax burden on the tourism industry, contributing heavily to destination improvement initiatives and local social causes, helping to market their destinations, and helping to enhance and protect

the environment. What is needed, has says, is a resolve by all stakeholders to work together on these, and for the cruise industry to become a more engaged, conscientious partner. Cruise ships have a potentially important socio-economic and environmental stewardship role to play in the Caribbean, but their contribution has to be about much more than helping at times of crisis, or for example building piers or offering a handful of jobs and scholarships, and being able to sail away at will. As Martha Honey, Robert MacLellan and Frank Comito suggest, it is time to explore how the cruise lines can be encouraged to put much more back and play a genuinely sustainable developmental role in return for the value they derive from the Caribbean and their use of the region’s exclusive economic maritime zone.

On September 5, 2018, Clement Howell High School became a senior school catering to fourth and fifth form students, preparing them for the CVQ, IGCSE and CXC CSEC

examinations. This week six students from Clement Howell High School and one from Wesley Methodist High School began the sixth form CXC CAPE programme. Director of Education Edgar Howell said: “Throughout most schools across the Caribbean, the school structure is divided into lower and upper school with lower school comprising first to third form and upper school comprising fourth to

sixth form. “Given the fact that CHHS is now a senior school with only two-year groups, it is the natural progression and quite fitting that completing the group composition for upper/senior school with the introduction of a sixth form programme.” The Ministry of Education plans to monitor this pilot very closely over the next year and explore the feasibility of expanding the programme further.

Crime Stoppers is a safe, anonymous way to report crime Governor, police chief and premier urge residents to make a call if they have any information BY OLIVIA ROSE AS THE Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police force works to curb gun violence in the TCI, residents are being urged to speak up and help bring perpetrators to justice. In recent weeks, numerous brazen daylight robberies, murders and carjackings have been reported across the territory. Although the spike in gun-related violence has residents and police searching for answers, officials say more can be done by citizens to help put an end to the senseless crimes. Speaking at a press conference last Tuesday, September 10, Governor Nigel Dakin called on residents to do their part in supporting the work of the force. He emphasised that it only takes one anonymous phone call to help. “There’s no caller identification that goes into Crime Stoppers at all. Bear in mind Crime Stoppers is not just serving the Turks and Caicos Islands, it’s a global network and it would be an extinction event for them if they gave away the identity of somebody who was reporting to them. “Their whole business is built on the fact that that can’t happen, so please have confidence in this - it really is the thing that you can do to support society. “Don’t be an observer of the problem be an actor in resolving this,” Dakin stressed.

At the same press conference, Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting said that while the police force is working hard to protect the territory, law-abiding citizens must assist police in the fight against crime. He too reminded the public that they have a role to play in helping to make their communities safer. “The RTCPF needs the support of our community. Members of the community know who is responsible for the crime, both gun crime and the arson offences that are blighting the lives of those on the TCI and crimes which are causing fear within our communities.” The police chief stressed that in order for his officers to do their jobs, residents must also do their part and speak up when they have information on crime. “The force executive is asking you to trust us, work with us and play a part in making a difference; work with us and we will not let you down,” Botting added. He explained that anyone who has information about an offence has a responsibility to report it to the police. “Crime Stoppers can be used, its truly independent from the RTCIPF and your call is in complete confidence. “We will get the information you have and we will do the rest and of course, you will remain anonymous.” Botting assured the public that all information communicated to Crime Stoppers tip line will be treated with

strict confidentiality. “The Crime Stoppers team here works tirelessly to promote Crime Stoppers. “I think there’s still a fear that the connection leads to the police and we’ll know who they are, but just to re-emphasise calls from here go to Miami and any names that people choose to give…they’re taken out so we have no idea who’s calling. We don’t even know which country they’re calling from. “I get that people have a fear, particularly in small communities, particularly when there’s still a bit of mistrust around policing which we’re determined to fix. I get that and I understand it. “But Crime Stoppers is a way in which you can have no fear at all and I would just ask the community to consider making that call. “It may be the tiniest bit of information but it maybe that bit of a jigsaw which puts us in the right place.” Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson also weighed in on the call for the public’s support in helping to contain crime. She said: “And the aged old cry remains the same. Crime Stoppers is safe and callers are treated anonymously. “You can deal the biggest blow to crime by helping to bring a perpetrator to justice and give victims and their families justice.” Crime Stoppers is a global-based organisation which gives people the opportunity to become involved in the fight against crime. The organisation partners with law enforcement officials around the world who work to make communities a safer environment to live, work and play. Information on crimes in the Turks and Caicos Islands can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers’ Miami-based hotline, 800TIPS (8477).

Two months to register for elections ANYONE who is not on the TCI Register of Electors has until November 30 to request to be included.

Civil servants enjoy a week full of activities as a thank you for their services

Civil Service Week rounds up with fun day for all A WEEK full of activities for the TCI’s public sector workers culminates this Saturday (September 21) with a family fun day in Providenciales. The event in will be held in the Kids’ Park in the Bight from midday to 8pm and will feature music, children’s games, a domino tournament and sweet treats. Civil Service Week is held each year to recognise the work that Government employees put in to keeping the territory running. This year participants enjoyed ecumenical services, staff appreciation meals, an awards ceremony and a gala banquet. On Monday (September 16), Jasmin Walkin, president of the TCI Civil Service Association, offered his best wishes to public workers to enjoy the week. “Despite the many challenges

we might face daily in regards to work, our job descriptions or staff and human resource issues, despite the various frustrations sometimes in service delivery to the public; we must pause this week and celebrate our lives and service to our country,” he said. “We are not celebrating this week because we believe our service to the public is perfect, and we are not celebrating this week because as employees we have no workplace issues that must be addressed. “Rather, we are celebrating that no matter what we face, our service remains the number one catalyst for change in this country. “I make no apologies when I state the TCI civil service is the backbone of Government and the engine that runs this country.” Walkin said the celebration, which

is this year under the theme ‘Change our community: One professional at a time’, calls for reflection and often a call to action. “We must understand that changing our community requires us to be leaders and not cheerleaders. “Changing our communities requires more from us as well as more from our employers (TCI Government). We need all hands on deck. “Hence, as we celebrate this week, all branches of Government and public service should look within themselves and ask, am I an agent of change?” He explained that the week was designated and organised by the Deputy Governor’s Office. “Thank you deputy governor and your team for the efforts demonstrated in celebrating and appreciating civil servants throughout this country,”

Walkin said. “I encourage all civil servants to participate and enjoy the activities planned. This is our week, this is our time, let us embrace it.” Deputy Governor and Head of Public Service Anya Williams issued her own message in which she also wished TCI’s civil servants a happy Civil Service Week. “Civil Service Week was launched to not only show appreciation to our staff for the work that they do, but to also highlight the invaluable contributions that they make to everyday life in the Turks and Caicos Islands,” she said. “The civil service is the engine of the Turks and Caicos Islands Government and has a wide range of responsibilities. “They are responsible for our infrastructure, the education of our children, the protection of our

borders and streets, the collection of our revenues to ensure that our bills are paid and that the country is ran efficiently and effectively, and the healthcare and welfare of our nation. “There is no greater duty than to serve and no job or position is greater than the other, because we are all a part of a team. “A team that is responsible for delivering on the mandate of the Government to serve the will of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.” She encouraged public workers to today and everyday “be the best that you can be and to serve with pride, dedication and integrity”. “We thank you for your hard work and dedication which does not go unrecognised and this week and every week thereafter we celebrate you.”

South Bank development gets underway Luxury project promises hundreds of jobs and a fresh new vibe for Provo’s south-east BY GEMMA HANDY CONSTRUCTION is well underway on the luxurious South Bank development set to breathe new life into Providenciales’ tranquil southeast and create hundreds of jobs for local residents. Work on essential infrastructure, including roads, drainage and utilities, kicked off in late August with many labourers already employed. The 31-acre residential resort and marina complex - being billed as a “vibrant community for lovers of the ocean” - will encompass multimillion dollar villas, townhouses and condos, restaurants and a total revamp of Caicos Marina to include new floating docks and amenities. “The area will become a hub for Long Bay and the south side of the island; we fully expect residents to come and make use of it, like they do in any of the resorts in Grace Bay,” Ivor Stanbrook, director of developers Windward Long Bay, told the Weekly News. The 90 units for sale range from $795,000 to $8 million, with 200 people expected to be employed at the peak of construction and 150 staff required when the resort is fully up and running in 2024. South Bank’s marriage of deluxe accommodation with “adventurous” aquatic activities will set it apart from competitors, said Kyle Smith, a partner in the project. “It will generate significant employment and third-party business opportunities, as well as revenues to the TCI,” he added. The development’s contemporary style and mood of “relaxed sophistication” has already attracted several interested buyers with the bulk of clients hailing from North America. Properties will fall into six intimate neighbourhoods with the entry level homes described as townhouse-style ‘boathouses’. These one to three-bedroom units will each have a 60 foot boat slip and will be arranged around a central entertainment area with communal pool, hammocks and barbecue areas. There are also three to fivebedroom villas, inspired by the cool, laidback vibe of Malibu Beach, set on a beachfront swimming lagoon and priced from $1.75 million. Larger villas with between four and seven bedrooms will be located

either directly on Long Bay Beach or the shore overlooking the Caicos Bank. The homes are being designed by architects Blee Halligan with construction on the first villas set to begin later this year. “We also have a very exciting partnership with high-end Italian furniture firm B&B Italia, which has created a bespoke furniture pack designed specifically for our houses,” Stanbrook said. He continued that the team was thrilled to have acclaimed Grace Bay Resorts on board to manage South Bank. The luxury operator – behind properties including Grace Bay Club, Point Grace and West Bay Club – will also run an on-site fine dining restaurant plus a more casual eatery, along with a gym and spa. Other amenities will include water sports, a hard tennis court, bar and coffee shop. “There will be a number of unique aspects including two little islands within the lagoon with yoga decks and mini beaches,” Stanbrook continued. Boat owners will also have use of a concierge service whereby vessels can be delivered directly to clients, fully loaded with a picnic and drinks. Long Bay has long been a favoured haunt among kiteboarders and developers hope to woo water sports enthusiasts. “South Bank will be within quite a diverse community but residents will find themselves among likeminded individuals. “They will be able to paddle board, kayak through the nearby mangroves, enjoy fishing or just walking along miles of empty beach,” Stanbrook said. The development secured environmental and planning approvals late last year following an environmental impact assessment. “It is very low density and geared around creating a residential community; it was important to us to keep it within an appropriate context for Long Bay,” Stanbrook explained. He said he believed developers’ prior experience building the Blue Cay villas fringing the ecologicallysensitive Leeward Channel had set them in good stead for the work ahead. The company plans to retain as much endemic vegetation as CONTINUED 

On Saturday October 12, the highly anticipated In the Pink party will return to the Palms Resort

Cancer society hosts awareness events this October A WALKATHON, a clothes drive and a charity luncheon are just some of the events that will be held next month to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. The National Cancer Society will be hosting the activities throughout the Islands in collaboration with the TCI Hospital. Society president Rosemary Jolly explained that there has not been an exponential rise in cancer but members are always concerned when there is a new diagnosis. “To date, breast and prostate cancers remain the two highest detected cancers in the Turks and Caicos Islands. “Our focus is to ensure that our people are made aware and educated on the threats of this disease, through collaborative efforts with all of our partners in health, and to stand in the gap for our cancer fighters.” The worldwide campaign, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, takes place in October. In the TCI, it will kick off with the Breast Cancer Walk on Saturday, October 5, which will feature a health fair and sponsored giveaways for participants. Health practitioners will be on hand to provide free health screenings for diabetes, hypertension, BMI and cholesterol and provide healthy lifestyle tips. On Saturday October 12, the highly anticipated In the Pink party will return to the Palms Resort. Featuring a live band, DJ, shopping experience and live poker games for charity, it is the largest boutique shopping day and

fundraiser for the National Cancer Society. On Saturday October 19, the society will be in North and Middle Caicos for its annual walkathon. And on Saturday October 26, the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon will be held at Beaches Turks and Caicos Resorts. The National Cancer Society hopes the events will raise awareness about breast cancer, increase fundraising efforts and honour survivors, a September 5 press release said. The society plans to engage other Government and corporate bodies in this year’s awareness events in an effort to drive the message of early testing. Breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer are the three most common types of cancers diagnosed at the TCI Hospital, with 33 different types of cancers detected. With this information, Jolly said the cancer society’s main focus is to encourage more women from the age of 40 and over, to register and get tested for breast cancer. The National Cancer Society is a non-profit organisation founded in 2004 to help raise awareness on the early detection, treatment and hopefully, prevention of cancer. The organisation is calling on more volunteers and personal donors to help with its ongoing efforts. More information on fundraising and events is available from the National Cancer Society on 2328177 or at nationalcancersociety@ gmail.com

possible, Stanbrook said. “We have identified key bits, including a very old lignum vitae tree which has been tagged and will be cherished.” It is not the first time the site has been tipped for development. Much of the virgin vegetation was cleared in the 1980s for a planned industrial project that was later scaled back to just the marina and shipyard. The area is also of historical importance as the home of a centuries-old Lucayan village. Developers sponsored an archaeological dig last year which

turned up a host of artefacts offering rare insight into the very first people to call the Islands home, including ancient ceramics and food remains. “It was really fascinating,” Stanbrook added. “I have been around these Islands for 30 years and had no idea there were a number of these sites that had been identified but never excavated; it would be nice to see more of them investigated.” Utility improvements ahead include removing overhead cables from the Long Bay Highway turn-off all the way through to

the marina and placing them underground. The upgraded marina will also include a fuel dock, shop, renovated buildings and parking areas. It will continue to provide boat yard services as well as dry storage. South Bank chiefs said it was too early to say whether existing marina users were likely to face a hike in fees. The 150 staff required to run the resort will span all hospitality fields, from housekeeping for the estimated 250 rooms, to food and beverage, security, spa operations, maintenance and boat services.

THE SALT CAY NOTE

The heart of the matter A MAN in his early 50s goes for a walk in Salt Cay. It’s a glorious Sunday afternoon. Suddenly, a sharp pain in his chest, shortness of breath. He continues walking but something’s not quite right. The next morning, a visit to Salt Cay’s Government clinic where the nurse on duty, after some routine BY TITUS DE BOER checks, calls the Grand Turk Titus was born in Hamburg and has lived in the Turks and hospital aka Cockburn Town Caicos Islands since 1989. Medical Centre. He works as a general business Their conclusion: consultant and has been based in Salt Cay since 2016. Send the patient over immediately, directly to the emergency department. Easier said than done. The Salt Cay Airport is currently closed and on that particular Monday, the Salt Cay Ferry can’t make the nine mile journey, due to “rough seas”. Finally, the next morning, the patient is taken to Grand Turk and makes it (alive) to the hospital. More on that in a moment. But first: When people initially ‘discover’ Salt Cay, they soon realise that there are challenges that come with life on a very small (2.5 square mile) island that one doesn’t think about when living in Providenciales, or Grand Turk for that matter. Apart from having to go to Grand Turk for most of your shopping for food, fuel and materials (Salt Cay does have a few little stores for the basics) and dealing with officialdom (NIB, NHIB, immigration, etc), the newly arrived Salt Cay resident will soon discover: There is no resident doctor on the island. That said, the resident nurse can of course handle cuts, bruises, minor accidents- and having the resident clinic is certainly reassuring. For everything major, there’s the hospital in Grand Turk, nine miles or a 40 minute boat trip away- weather permitting. Back to that patient, who by now has arrived at the Grand Turk hospital and who, as you may have guessed, is the writer of this column. I’ll be the first to admit that my knowledge of the Turks and Caicos hospital system/NHIB is rudimentary at best and that while I have read occasional articles in the local press, both critical and in praise of our healthcare system, I can only base my opinion on my most recent experience, which was in one word: Superb! From the reception at the emergency department, the professionalism and friendliness of the doctors and nurses, I was literally in awe. Add to that the thoroughness of the various tests conducted, the quality of the ‘hardware’ (x-ray machines, etc) and the cleanliness, and I think we can consider ourselves very fortunate on Salt Cay/Grand Turk. So from this Salt Cay resident, a BIG thank you to all the staff at the Grand Turk hospital!

Investment agency attends international conferences TWO members of Invest TCI jetted off to conferences in Costa Rica and California to boost major investment in the territory. Trina Adams-Smith, vice president of marketing and promotion, attended the City Nation Place Latin America and Caribbean Conference (CNP) on September 2 and 3. In a press release on September 11, she said the event in San Jose, Costa Rica, was educational and informative. “What stood out were the sessions highlighting the need for collaborative place branding to drive economic success for a country. “The private and public organisations in the TCI can benefit from this school of thought and improve on collaborating its international marketing efforts to build a successful country brand promoting the TCI as a prime destination whether for tourism, foreign direct investment or as a destination to live and work.” The conference provided a highlevel forum for government teams and place marketing organisations to explore successful strategies for tourism and economic development. Delegates who attended left the event with an improved understanding of how a collaborative

approach to place branding can drive economic success. It can help in engaging civic pride, attracting talent, providing a more sustainable approach to tourism development, building international reputation and attracting investment. Alexa Cooper Grant, vice president of small medium enterprise development, attended the 39th Annual America’s Small Business Development Conference (SBDC). It took place from September 3 to 6 in Long Beach, California, at the Long Beach Convention Centre under the theme ‘Exchange and experience’ and attracted more than 1,300 participants. Advisors, trainers and directors came together for professional

development and networking. The passion for small business could be seen in the 140 workshops that overflowed into the hallways, and in the exhibit hall where attendees eagerly mingled. Cooper Grant said that she was exposed to the latest industry trends and best practices for small business development during the various breakout and networking sessions. In addition, she was also able to complete a two-day intense certification course in ‘Mastering Strategy’. “This course was designed for SBDC professionals to develop strategic management competencies and utilising various strategic tools to help clients succeed,” she said.

New police officers with Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting (right)

Five new police officers join force FIVE new police officers were swornin on Thursday (September 19) to help boost the local force’s ability to protect and serve the territory. The new officers come with prior experience from the Jamaica Constabulary Force, the Royal Barbados Police Force and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service. Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting, who administered the oath to the officers, said the force is delighted to have them join the organisation. “Additional officers on our streets will always be a plus for the communities we serve,” he said in a police press release on Thursday. “I am thankful that they have

decided to come forward and I wish them all the very best of luck during their service to the Turks and Caicos Islands.” The officers have completed orientation and introduction sessions to the force’s code of conduct through the RTCIPF Human Resources and Training Unit and will be assigned to the Response and Operations Team. “The recruitment process for these new officers took place in August of this year and is separate from the Government’s commitment to providing funding for an additional 20 new constables,” the press release said. Last week Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson revealed that some 20 police officers will be

recruited as part of the Government’s effort to fight crime. She said: “I am happy to have received a plan from the new commissioner of police who has in the first few weeks of his term together with his senior executive team conducted a review of his force against the direction and vision he has. “And I have agreed to provide funding to recruit 20 police officers and to support his vision for the establishment of a gun squad. “I believe that these enforcement efforts together with other preventative and rehabilitative measures will yield the results we seek,” Cartwright Robinson added.

Health ministry warns of vaping risks after US deaths THE MINISTRY of Health has warned residents about the dangers of vaping following an outbreak of severe respiratory illnesses associated with the practice in the US. In a statement on Tuesday (September 17), the ministry said the cause of the outbreak, which has so far resulted in seven deaths, is still not entirely clear. But, it added, investigations are ongoing by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ministry said given the recent findings by the CDC on the possible association between severe pulmonary disease outbreaks and the use of e-cigarette products, residents are advised to refrain from or limit the use of such products. “The e-cigarettes are devices that deliver an aerosol to the user by heating a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavourings and other chemicals. “E-cigarettes can also be used to deliver marijuana or other substances. “While e-cigarettes have gained popularity as a ‘safer’ and increasingly more fashionable alternative to traditional cigarettes, experts warn that vaping causes e-cigarette users to inhale dangerous quantities of cancercausing substances. “Clinicians and public health personnel are being urged to make special inquiries into the use of e-cigarettes for patients presenting with lung related issues,” the ministry added. Vaping has caused respiratory symptoms including coughing, difficulty breathing and chest pains, while gastrointestinal symptoms have been identified as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea in more than 450 cases confirmed so far in the United States. The non-specific symptoms being experienced include fever and fatigue. So far no evidence of infectious diseases has been identified, therefore the lung illnesses are likely associated with a chemical exposure,

according to the ministry. The investigation has not identified any specific substance or e-cigarette product that is linked to all cases. Many patients report using e-cigarette products with liquids that contain cannabinoid products, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The ministry advised that minors, pregnant women and those who have never smoked should avoid the practice since they are at increased risk of adverse outcomes. The Ministry of Health will be issuing guidelines to healthcare providers summarising the situation and sharing the local case definition for surveillance purposes. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC While this matter is under investigation, the public is strongly urged to refrain from using e-cigarette products. It is also recommended that the public adhere to the following recommendations: - Youths and young adults should not use e-cigarette products. - Women who are pregnant should not use e-cigarette products. - Adults who do not currently use tobacco products should not start using e-cigarette products. - You should not modify e-cigarette products or add any substances to these products that are not intended by the manufacturer. - You should not use e-cigarettes in a public place as it is considered to be a tobacco product. According to the Tobacco Control Ordinance (TCO) 2015, a ‘tobacco product’ means a product entirely or partly made from the leaf tobacco as raw material, which is manufactured to be used for smoking, sucking, chewing or snuffing. E-cigarettes, according to the TCO would be categorised as a smokeless tobacco product. E-cigarettes do not contain smoke, however, they do expose others to second-hand emissions which can contain harmful chemicals, including nicotine. (By Olivia Rose)

Three ferns for the Islands

FERNS are seedless vascular plants that produce spores instead of seeds. They are very ancient plants that date back over 400 million years. Today, ferns are used as specimens in atriums, greenhouses and conservatories, and can be found in the smallest apartments to the largest homes. They offer a quiet, graceful beauty by softening landscapes indoors and outdoors. Although ferns lack the bright colours of flowers, they are tremendously diverse in frond size, shape, division, texture, and colour. Ferns are especially useful in the shady garden and landscape. PLANT CARE Add top soil to the hole when planting in very dry sandy areas. Water regularly but don’t overdo it. In the Turks and Caicos Islands ferns like humidity and regular moisture but they’re not wild about ‘wet feet’. No trimming is needed for ferns, other than to remove a dead frond now and then. You may at some point have to thin out a fern bed if it gets too wild-looking and overgrown. Fertilise once or twice a year (spring and late summer) with a controlled release fertiliser.

tropical garden lush symmetrical upright. The macho fern is appropriately named due to its sturdy, massive fern fronds. The macho fern can grow to three or four feet high. Clumps can easily be divided. It’s also an ideal fern for large baskets or pots. Macho ferns are one of the easiest ferns to grow, so many novice gardeners are thrilled with how little effort they require. Pick a place to plant your fern. The macho fern prefers a partially shady spot, but will tolerate full sun. BOSTON FERN Nephrolepis exaltata is native to tropical regions but has widely naturalised over the world. Its finely divided pinnae give the plant an attractive, feathery look. It is the most commonly grown indoor fern, both as a popular houseplant and as an ornamental accent plant for interior landscape design projects. It is often seen decorating patios and decks. The ferns gained great popularity during the Victorian era, because of their light green colour and fast growth rate. Boston fern is widely used today in commercial floral arrangements. Boston fern is common in tropical hammocks and areas with lots of light and moisture, where the plants may form thick blankets on the forest floor.

It can often be seen growing on the trunks of Canary Island date palms. The vegetative growth has the ability to filter pollutants out of the air and is sometimes planted to help purify and humidify an environment. ASPARAGUS FERN Asparagus densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’ is called fern but in fact it’s not a true fern but a member of the lily family (Liliaceae). Long, arching stems densely covered with short, needle-like leaflets give this plant a delicate appearance. It has a cascading habit that makes it ideal for a hanging basket. Mature plants will bloom in summer with small, white-topale pink flowers, sometimes followed by clusters of green berries that turn red in the winter. These berries are poisonous if eaten. When planted in the ground, asparagus ferns can be invasive. Trim off old stems in the spring to make room for new growth and to keep the plant looking neat. Keep your asparagus fern where it’ll get filtered light. Water regularly but take care not to overwater. The plant’s thick, tuberous roots store water and soggy soil can cause root rot.

People across the TCI wore red to raise awareness of gun violence

Public wears red in a campaign against gun violence BY OLIVIA ROSE STUDENTS, teachers, police officers and other public spirited citizens all wore bright red on Friday, September 13, to protest the soaring gun violence in the TCI. The Boys Club of Grand Turk under the supervision of Nixon Dickenson, Patterson Williams and Berkeley Williams hosted the antigun violence campaign under the theme, ‘Stop the excuses, end gun violence’. Dickenson told the Weekly News that the campaign, which saw many people posting their red ensemble on social media with positive messages to youths, was a success. He said: “We wore red in a national stance in solidarity with the families and communities in the Turks and Caicos Islands affected by gun violence and serious crime.

“The campaign was well supported, as shown by the many social media posts depicting the grassroots, community spirit of the initiative to combat youth violence in the TCI. “Many said it can’t be done it was just a waste of time; however, I would say that the campaign was a great success.” Dickenson said the campaign was a perfect example of how members of the community can unite to bring about the change they wish to see. “This campaign depicts how united we can do anything, even end this epidemic of gun violence. “We collectively are more powerful than any problem when we work as one,” he stressed. When asked about the significance of the colour, Dickenson explained that the bright bold colour which demands to be seen is usually used to call something to a stop.

This is exactly the message the campaign wished to convey to those young men who are inflicting pain and grief on the society, he said. “We used the colour red to figuratively represent and validate the slogan used that no excuse stops the gun use - to symbolise stop the red traffic sign and red for no more bloodshed.” He emphasised that the focus of this effort is to lead a collective charge to concentrate heightened attention to gun violence in the territory. “We the organisers of this campaign are thankful to the community for their support, they saw the spirit behind the effort and became a part.” Dickenson spoke of a series of camps held by the Boys Club of Grand Turk aimed at reaching out to the young men most affected by the increased incidences of gun violence.

“The camp we facilitated in Provo is a programme we have been organising in Grand Turk for approximately 20 years or more,’ he said. “This year after hosting the camp a few months ago in Grand Turk we decided to put on the same camp in Provo to reach out the young there to encourage and spend some quality male to male time with them. “For this being the first time hosting the camp in Provo, not being well known there, we can say the camp was a great success. “Thanks to our sponsors and supported in this endeavour and we look forward to sharing with them some time in the not too distant future.” As part of the camp, 12 young men from Long Bay High School and Provo Children’s Home learned how to resolve conflicts and manage their emotions without resorting to

violence. Male teachers from the Long Bay High School along with presenters Pastor Kem Gardiner and Darren Hilaire challenged the minds of the youngsters in attendance to be the voice to say no to gun violence and other forms of violence. Participants were also engaged in physical activities and conflict resolution strategies and discussed how to manage their emotions in a pressuring society. Dickenson said: “There was no sleep due to the excitement in the air and the delicious meals served. “The organisers of the Boys Club of Grand Turk extend special thanks to principal Deanne Whiskey-John, vice-principal Kordell CampbellForbes and the staff of Long Bay High School, Ms Rachel Taylor from the Provo Children’s Home and all sponsors. Your contributions to this cause made it successful.”

TCI brings buckets of talent to arts festival ARTISTS from across the TCI jetted off to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago this August to demonstrate their talents in a huge regional arts festival. ‘Connect, share and invest’ was the theme that guided the Carifesta XIV - the Caribbean Festival of Arts – from August 16 to 25.

The 2019 event presented and exhibited a multi-talented cultural display of music, dance, culinary, visual and literary arts, fashion, craft, theatre and film media. Over the 10 days there were about 300 activities that took place across the country which included art exhibitions, theatrical productions,

workshops, symposia, dance and music events, and a food and rum festival. Delegations from 22 Caribbean countries and territories attended, including a group of 27 representatives from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Heading the delegation was Hon. Karen Malcolm, Minister with responsibility for the Department of Culture among other departments. She said it was “such a delight” to be in Trinidad with the team representing the Islands. “This event gave us an opportunity to show case the TCI to the world through persons from our artisan community, who I must say did a tremendous job in displaying our culture through music, song dance and the likes. “It was equally a pleasure to meet with the other ministers, permanent secretaries and directors of culture during a meeting held on August 18, 2019 in Port of Spain where we were able to discuss a number of matters of cultural significance. “I applaud the team and encourage everyone to continue to support the work undertaken by the Department of Culture.” Throughout the years, Carifesta has played an eminent role in showcasing the Caribbean’s uniqueness and creates a platform for the inspirational exchange of

creative flows. Carifesta XIV provided the TCI with opportunity to express its cultural diversity while introducing local creatives to the regional and international stage. Attendees were able to promote their talents and businesses while interacting with the people and artists. This gave them the opportunity to build clientele across the Caribbean and the world, which once only saw the Turks and Caicos Islands as a high-end tourist destination. “The TCI delegation, though small, came with vigour, enthusiasm and a level of national pride that shone throughout the entire event,” a department press release said on September 13. The team participated in the opening parade, opening ceremony, country night, dance showcases, the gospel experience, craft market, visual arts exhibition, pan and powder, youth village workshops, youth orchestra, country booth and the food and rum festival. Some of the countries represented at Carifesta XIV included Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, Anguilla, St Kitts, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana, Jamaica and Haiti. Director of Culture Ludwina Fulford said: “We wish to express our profound thanks to the host country

and their team for the planning and execution of Carifesta XIV, which was such a memorable event. “We recognised the level of effort and resources that had to be invested to render Carifesta XIV a tremendous success, and so we are grateful for having been a part of the experience. “Similarly, I wish to extend profound thanks on behalf of the entire Department of Culture team to Hon. Karen Malcolm and Permanent Secretary Wesley Clerveaux for their ongoing enthusiasm and the level of support given throughout the process of preparing and ensuring that our attendance and participation came to fruition. “Finally, I MUST register heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation to each delegate for their cooperation, teamwork, professionalism and their display of talent. “You made the TCI very proud. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” The Department of Culture following its Carifesta experience hopes to integrate workshops and programmes island-wide. They will give those interested in the performing arts an opportunity to develop skills needed to venture into their discipline of choice and participate in various events and Carifesta XV. Carifesta XV will be hosted by Antigua and Barbuda in 2021.

Iranian women have been banned from stadiums when men’s teams have been playing since just after the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Spain recently won the FIBA World title.

Iran must let women US keeps top spot in FIBA men’s into football grounds, world rankings; Spain No. 2 says FIFA president FIFA president Gianni Infantino says Iran must start allowing women into football stadiums. Iranian women have been banned from stadiums when men’s teams have been playing since just after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. But Infantino hopes to see a change in place for the country’s World Cup qualifier with Cambodia next month. “Our position is firm and clear. Women have to be allowed into football stadiums in Iran,” he said. “Now is the moment to change things and FIFA is expecting positive developments starting in the next Iran home match in October.”

Football fan Sahar Khodayari died this month when she set herself on fire while awaiting trial for trying to attend a match. Nicknamed ‘Blue Girl’, in reference to the colours worn by her favourite team Esteghlal of Tehran, she was arrested in March for trying to enter the stadium, reportedly disguised as a man. A group of female fans were permitted to attend the second leg of the Asian Champions League final in Tehran last November, but in June women were locked out of Iran’s friendly with Syria at the Azadi Stadium in the Iranian capital - the venue for the World Cup qualifier on 10 October. (BBC)

USA Basketball has kept its No. 1 spot in the FIBA world men’s rankings, even after a disappointing seventh-place showing in the World Cup that ended earlier this week. It’s now nine-years-and-counting in the top spot for the U.S., which has held the No. 1 ranking since winning the 2010 world championship. World Cup champion Spain stayed No. 2, Australia leaped eight spots to No. 3, World Cup finalist Argentina rose one spot to No. 4 and World Cup bronze-medalist France fell two slots to No. 5. FIBA’s rankings take results from the most recent eight years into account - which means the U.S. is still reaping point benefits from the 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medals and the 2014 World Cup title. “In this day and age, basketball in

other countries is not a secret,” U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said after the Americans completed their run in the World Cup. “So it’s not like there’s an epiphany or a revelation to be made. There are wonderful teams and wonderful coaches all over the world. You go compete and the best teams win.” It’s now expected that the U.S. will retain the No. 1 ranking going into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Several top NBA players, including Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Damian Lillard have said in recent days that they intend to play for the U.S. in Tokyo, where the Americans will try to win a fourth consecutive gold medal. Most top U.S. players declined to be part of the World Cup team. “I’m expecting them to be so

strong next year,” Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said. The new rankings confirmed that European champion Slovenia, which didn’t earn a spot in the World Cup field after many of its top players couldn’t take part in qualifying since those games conflicted with the NBA and Euroleague schedules, will still have a chance to compete in the Olympics - as will seven other teams that found out they’re headed to playoffs next year. Angola, Senegal, Mexico, Uruguay, China, Korea and Croatia also still have Olympic hopes. Those last eight playoff spots awarded Thursday went to the top two teams from Africa, Europe, Asia-Oceania and the Americas regions who hadn’t either already clinched Olympic berths or spots in the last-chance playoffs.

Fight Mayweather or retire, Arum tells Pacquiao

Pacquiao, who won a bruising 12-round battle with Keith Thurman to capture the WBA welterweight crown in July, has not scheduled his next fight.

VETERAN boxing promoter Bob Arum believes Manny Pacquiao should retire from the sport soon unless he can land a lucrative rematch with Floyd Mayweather. Arum, who promoted Pacquiao during the Filipino icon’s golden years, told the World Boxing News website he wanted to see the 40-year-old hang up his gloves soon. Pacquiao, who won a bruising 12-round battle with Keith Thurman to capture the WBA welterweight crown in July, has not scheduled his next fight. But Arum said he believed

Pacquiao, who turns 41 in December, would be risking lasting damage if he extends his career much further. “Pacquiao, I promoted him for many, many years,” Arum told World Boxing News. “He’s an exceptionally good human being, really a fine guy, extraordinarily charitable and a delight. “But he’s (almost) 41-years-old. And if you’re 41 you can’t take punishment. You can’t take blows like he did in the Thurman fight. “Sure, he won that fight – but he took a lot of punishment. That punishment is going to have a

serious effect on how he lives the rest of is life.” Arum, who earlier this year said he feared Pacquiao risked brain damage before his fight with Thurman, said however the Filipino should consider a rematch with Mayweather. Mayweather, who is now retired, defeated Pacquiao in their 2015 “Fight of the Century” which largely failed to live up to the hype. “If he gets Mayweather, do that fight and retire,” said Arum. “If he doesn’t get Mayweather he should retire. It’s not worth it for him to continue boxing. (AFP)

Increase in Inter-School Sport Competitions for 2019/2020 THE Department of Sports has unveiled a dynamic package of sports competitions which is expected to keep student athletes happy for their school year. Director of Sport Jarrett Forbes calls it a sustainable Interscholastic Sports Programme, which has a long-term goal of developing quality competitions and athletes. Over the past years, young student - athletes could expect one tournament for the school year which was the National Championship for that particular sport. This has proven to be insufficient in encouraging the level of commitment and preparation essential for the gradual improvement of our athletes and sports teams. While participation in sports has enormous benefits to our young people and ultimately, our nation, our Inter Scholastic Sports System, must have a regular season of competition prior to Championships. According to Forbes, the proposed increase in quality competition is projected to create a platform for the exponential growth and development of local athletes and sports teams which will activate the full benefits and impact of sports. The Department of Sports encourages all stakeholders to be

Rugby season kicks off with new interns, sessions with former USA international player THE 2019-2020 rugby season kicked off with former USA 7s and 15s international player and current Oregon State University Men’s Rugby coach Troy Hall teaching his craft. During his time in Providenciales, Hall had three practice sessions with local players, which according to information from the Turks and Caicos Islands Rugby Football Union (TCIRFU), allowed them “to soak up as much knowledge as possible from the experienced athlete”. Along with the visiting Hall, the TCIRFU also welcomed two new interns from Brock University (Canada). The interns, Annik Leger and Grant Baillie, are tasked with continuing to develop rugby throughout the islands by teaching the sport in the local schools as

well as by running youth rugby sessions on Saturday mornings at the Meridian Field (located inside the Village at Grace Bay). According to information from Sports Management Student Leger, “These sessions are a great way to introduce the game to kids from a variety of ages as well as a great chance to practice the skills they already have.” The sessions are from 9:00h to 11:00h every Saturday and are free of charge. Meanwhile, registration for the Tag Rugby Co-ed League will begin on September 26 from 18:30h at the Meridian Field clubhouse. The popular league, which is expected to start in October, will run for eight weeks and players of all skill levels are welcomed. For more information, please contact rugbyinterntci@gmail.com.

Turks and Caicos Collection win Kick for a Cause THE TURKS and Caicos Collection stormed their way to a comprehensive victory in the TCIFA organised D&B Auto Ltd., sponsored Kick for a Cause, annual Corporate 7v7 football competition, which was played last Saturday at the TCI National Academy Ground. The 2019 winners, who played unbeaten in the eight-team competition, were able to wrest the trophy away from defending champions, the Royal TCI Police Force in the championship clash. Bay Bistro placed third. The event, which was into its second year, was a key fundraising venture. According to information from the FA, the funds raised from the co-ed event will go towards youth development programmes on all islands.
