Premier elect talks frank about Election 2012

BY VANESSA NARINE PREMIER elect, Dr. Rufus Ewing, spoke frankly with the Weekly News, on Saturday after the final results were released, about the Election 2012, pointing out that there is much room for the improvement.

He said, “This was a new process, with the constituency votes along with the At-Large votes, and it was new for the people. There should have been more stations, booths and clerks…there are things that we have definitely learned and can improve on going forward.”

Commenting on the request made

by People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) leader, Oswald Skippings, Ewing pointed out that he is in his right to do so.

He said, “I do not know why because it will not affect the outcome of whether or not we remain the government. He would have to find over 130 votes in the recount to remove Washington Misick from the top five At-Large candidates.”

CLOSE CAMPAIGN Moving to the campaign, Ewing said, “There is a sense of joy now that we have come out as the choice of the people.”

However, he acknowledged that it was a hard fought and closely fought campaign.

The Premier elect said, “We lost some good people along the way, the constituency candidates such as Clay Ewing and Adrian Williams and in the At-Large vote we lost Royal Robinson and Carlos Simons. We lost good men from the team.

“But the people have spoken.

“I am confident that I will be able to work with members on the other side and they will bring to the House the level of maturity necessary for us to form a united front going forward in the interest

of the people.

“I do not see any challenges going forward. I intend in making them, as much as possible, part of the decision making and policy making process.”

Asked if he thought voters decided based on the merits on candidates, rather than voted for a single part, Ewing said voters did so, but not in all cases.

He said, “The At-Large seat was a matter of winning the popular vote. If you enjoyed the popular vote and voters shared their vote then the party themselves stood a challenge, which is why our message was vote ‘straight down the line’.

“A lot of our people shared votes.

I think our people shared more votes than the other side. It could result in the party having a close call, like we did. It is a big risk, running At-Large is a risk.”

MOVING FORWARD Moving forward, the Premier elect not that there are many decisions to be made.

On the issue of selecting a Cabinet, he said, “The decision on the Cabinet is my prerogative, but I will consult with the party.”

Another important selection will be the party’s nomination of one representative to be appointed to the House of Assembly, an addition to their eight elected representatives.

Ewing said, “Once you have contested and lost you are not eligible to be nominated for a seat in the House so our deputy leader, Carlos Simons cannot be nominated. The party can nominate one person and I am thinking about it.

“A number of persons have expressed interest, but now that we know the skills set of the people who have been elected, we can now focus on what skills are needed.”

CONFIDENT Allegations of widespread corruption led the United Kingdom to impose direct rule on the TCI in the summer of 2009.

The Interim Administration took over the running of the country following the suspension of parts of the previous 2006 Constitution following the Sir Robin Auld Commission of Inquiry which stated that there was “… a high probability of systemic corruption in government and the legislature and among public officers in the Turks and Caicos Islands in recent years.”

However, the Premier elect opined that the people’s vote was a show of confidence in the party and his leadership.

He said, “I think the people have confidence in the PNP. A number of things came into play here; the progress that the party has made over the years has far surpassed whatever allegations have been made. The

Premier elect, Dr. Rufus Ewing

good outweighed the bad.

“The people are confident that we can rise again and the team we have assembled will restore the party and

the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI).”

Ewing is expected to be sworn in as soon as possible as nation’s Premier.

PNP victory rally draws hundreds of celebrating supporters

THE Progressive National Party (PNP) celebrated their victory at the polls on Saturday with a massive rally that drew hundreds of energized supporters.

Premier elect, Dr. Rufus Ewing, in his address to supporters, noted that the victory was a bittersweet one, given that the party lost several candidates in the election.

According to him, the PNP has weathered much, with the ongoing investigations into the alleged corruption, but Ewing stressed that the party has fought a hard campaign to emerge as the people’s choice.

He added that there is much work to be done and his party will be reaching out to the other side.

By the end of the evening, the key message left with supporters was one of unity – the much-needed unity that is needed to move the Turks and Caicos Islands forward. (VANESSA NARINE)

PNP wins election – Skippings calls for a recount

BY VANESSA NARINE THE Progressive National Party (PNP) took home election 2012 by a thin margin, winning eight seats, while the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) claimed the remaining seven.

The PNP’s eight seats, included six district seats and two At-Large seats.

On Saturday, PDM leader, Oswald Skippings, demanded a recount of the At-Large votes, which will be done on Monday.

Until the recount is completed the provisional results stand as:

1. Sharlene Cartwright Robinson – PDM – 3,427 votes; 2. Rufus Ewing – PNP – 3,252 votes; 3. Derek Taylor – PDM – 3,191 votes; 4. Washington Misick – PNP – 3,107 votes; 5. Josephine Connolly – PDM – 3,023 votes; 6. Carolos Simons – PNP – 2,899 votes;

7. Samuel Harvey – PDM – 2,896 votes; 8. Oswald Skippings – PDM – 2,894 votes; 9. Wayne Garland – PNP – 2,806 votes; 10. Royal Robinson – PNP – 2,700 votes; and 11. Oswald Simons – IND – 233 votes.

This year’s election was the closest in the country’s history.

Looking back at past elections, the PDM won their first election in January 1995, since 1988. The party picked up eight of the 12 district votes and saw an 85 per cent voter turnout.

In March 1999, a total of 36 candidates vied for 13 seats and the PDM won for a second consecutive term. They took nine of the 13 districts and that year there was an 84 per cent voter turnout.

In April 2003, the PDM won again taking seven of the 13 seats.

February 2009 saw the political landscape change, with a landslide victory for the PNP, which took 13 of the 15 seats.

VOTER TURNOUT The TCI has been known for strong voter turnout and this year was no different.

Over the years there has been a consistent increase in number of registered voters: 2,312 registered in 1972; 2,995 in 1976; 3,420 in 1980; 3,792 in 1984; 4,069 in 1986; 4,346 in 1988; 4,542 in 1991; 5,432 in 1995; 5,624 in 1999; 6,551 in 2003; 6,988 in 2007 and 6,987 in 2009.

This year, TCI’s population was put at 31,458. Of these there are 7,377 verified Islanders with some 7,245 registered as voters.

Of that number some 6,352 turned out to the polls, an 88 per cent turnout.

Focusing on the districts, the turnout was: 91 per cent in electoral district 1, Grand Turk, North; 89 per cent in electoral district 2, Grand Turk, South; 94 per cent in electoral district 3, South Caicos; 91 cent in electoral district 4, North and Middle Caicos; 90 cent in electoral district 5, Leeward, Providenciales; 84 cent in electoral district 6 the Bight, Providenciales; 84 cent in

NEXT STEPS Moving forward, the leader of the party with the majority will write to the Governor stating that they believe that they can form a Government.

The Governor will then request the names of intended Ministers and portfolios.

The Premier is expected to be sworn in by the Governor at the earliest possible opportunity.

On Monday the Governor will propose the date of the first Cabinet meeting. This is expected to take place on Monday, November 12.

Before the Cabinet meets all members of the Cabinet will be sworn in. This is expected to take place on Wednesday, Nov 14.

Non-elected members of Cabinet are the Deputy Governor, the Attorney General and the Governor is the chair of Cabinet.

One of the agenda points for first cabinet meeting will be the need to decide a date on which to recall the House of Assembly.

There are 19 seats in the TCI House of Assembly; 15 of these are filled by directly elected candidates; one additional members is nominated by the Premier and appointed by the Governor; one additional members is nominated by the leader of the official Opposition and appointed by the Governor; and two members from TCI Civic Society are appointed directly by the Governor.

Integrity Commission debunks allegations against Akierra Misick THE Integrity Commission, on Sunday, debunked the allegation that Progressive National Party (PNP) candidate for the Leeward district, Akierra Misick, produced falsified documentation declaring she had renounced her United States (US) citizenship.

Director of the Integrity Commission, Eugene Otuonye, in a statement said the Commission considers the allegation “false, malicious and misleading.”

He added that the Commission will investigate it accordingly.

Otuonye said, “The Commission reiterates that prior to the elections that were held on November 9, Miss Missick was not a ‘person in public life’ for the purpose of the Integrity Commission Ordinance. She did not fall within Commission’s jurisdiction at that time and has not, therefore been subject to any investigations by the Commission.

“Furthermore, the Commission would want to point out that the declarations of candidates as to their qualifications or otherwise to stand for elections were NOT made to the Integrity Commission but to the Supervisor of Elections under the Constitution and the Elections Ordinance.”

Premier Elect, Dr. Rufus Ewing, told the Weekly News that the allegations are unfounded.

He said, “I have seen her certificate that says she renounced her citizenship. I have that in my possession.”

PNP candidate Akierra Misick

Section 49 of the 2011 Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) Constitution says, “No person shall be qualified to be an elected member of the House of Assembly who, on the date of his or her nomination for election— (a) is, by virtue of his or her own act, under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience or adherence to any foreign power or state…”

In 2008, Misick made public the fact that she was returning to the US to cast her vote for incumbent leader, President Barrack Obama.

On October 25, she signed nomination papers at the Hope Missionary Baptist Church, Long Bay, Providenciales, declaring that she met the Constitution’s stated qualifications for contesting the elections to secure public office.

TURKS AND CAICOS WEEKLY NEWS

November 10 – 16, 2012

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

A matter for an elected government?

THE Governor’s spokesperson, Neil Smith, refutes the allegations that Governor Ric Todd has approved a dolphin visitor attraction.

He insists that a change to the Fisheries Protection Regulations was made in order to remove one obstacle to it happening.

The interim administration’s argument is that a change was made in-line with the Governor’s powers under the law and the constitutional order, butthe project is at an early stage and has neither been approved nor stopped.

Smith maintains that it will be a matter for an elected government to decide.

What are your thoughts?

Half-truths

Governor Ric Todd has been consistently dishonest, clinging to half-truths rather than being clear with the people of these islands.

When the possibility of a dolphin attraction was announced, the Governor failed to acknowledge that the import of live sea mammals is illegal both in the Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as in the United Kingdom.

Todd changed the law in late October, but a license was granted in early October to allow something illegal.

The Governor’s claim to open and transparent governance is not real, rather his actions continue to paint him in a corner with his half-truths.

We can only hope that this decision will be one for an elected government, which will truly represent the interest of the people, who, for the large part, do not support this venture.

Colonialist mentality

Smith is trying desperately to spin this so the Governor does not look as bad!

These socialist bureaucrats are the worst possible thing that has ever happened to these islands.

They have no appreciation of our beliefs, culture or feelings. To arbitrarily change our laws like he did, smacks of the British Raj in India.

The ‘colonies’ are little less than rugs under their feet!

Not decision worth note

Anytime something controversial or difficult comes up, Ric turns the responsibility over to someone else.

Except for VAT which was something he just had to do, he hasnot made a decision

worth noting.

Stick to what works

If ‘Beautiful by Nature’ has worked for the Turks and Caicos why tamper with this format.

Capturing and restraining dolphins is not nature, it is a zoo.

Likewise 28 stories is not natural nor is dredging for a small multimillionaire marina and ignoring the results.

The whole of the TCI once was a nature park now Grace Bay is another Miami Beach only the natural beauty remains.

Dolphin zoos, dead reefs and high rise concrete will kill what we have left.

Consider the consequences

The next government should make the decision and suffer if it is a bad one.

Why not?

If the environmental impact is minimal, then why not?

Our ‘Beautiful by Nature’ aka: beaches, are no longer available as they used to be. So we need some other means of attracting tourists.

When it comes to high rise buildings and the project in Leeward dock area in terms of dredging, that's a big no nono!

Things like that are not needed, necessary or beneficial.

Back peddling

The whole idea seems like back peddling and should not even be up for an elected government to decide.

Law is law

all of this is the decision of the Governor to ignore all environmental treaties, laws and obligations that the British government remains obligated to entertain and consider this disastrous proposal.

This is not a case where the Governor is ignoring a policy, but really he is breaching laws by considering the proposal.

That is the problem.

As Bill Clinton would say, "It’s the law, stupid."

If the regulations were made to prevent this please show us when these regulations were made.

At any rate housing, harnessing, capturing, tying up dolphins is against international law.

The Governor cannot willynilly play as if international law does not exist.

This is so Mike Misick where he unilaterally altered the terms of reference for Star Island to permit dredging in a way where it would destroy Leeward Marina mangroves, the mangroves of North and Middle Caicos and the sands off the shores of Grace Bay. Governor or Premier, the law is the law, and they are both doing what they can to breach these laws.

Neil Smith seems like a spin doctor here and I cannot buy into what he is saying.

I am sure if the Governor could find a way he would approve and leave it on the desk for the next Premier or Minister of the Environment.

What is strange and extremely curious about

Petition to stop dolphin attraction gains momentum

BY VANESSA NARINE GOVERNOR Ric Todd’s amendment to the Fisheries Protection Regulations has inspired a petition to block the proposal from Dolphin Cove Development to open a ‘dolphinarium’ on Providenciales – a move that has gained momentum over the last week.

Dolphin Cove proposes to build its fifth ‘swim with the dolphins’ park in the Cooper Jack area of Providenciales, a $3m investment.

If the development plans are approved it is set to open in spring 2013.

The Governor’s spokesperson, Neil Smith, refuted the allegation that Governor Ric Todd had approved the dolphin visitor attraction.

Heinsisted the change to the Fisheries Protection Regulations was made in order to remove one obstacle to it happening.

However, the law was changed on October 25 after Dolphin Cove Development received a business licence by the Turks and Caicos Islands Government (TCIG) just weeks earlier.

Smith maintains that the change was made

in-line with the Governor’s powers under the law and the constitutional order, but the project is at an early stage and has neither been approved nor stopped.

According to him, the final decision will be a matter for an elected government to decide.

FIFTEEN HUNDREDAND GROWING The petition has already been signed by over 1,500 individuals and supporters are encouraged to join the effort at www.change. org/petitions/turks-and-caicos-governmentstop-the-development-of-a-dolphin-attraction.

The petition letter states, “Many dolphins do not survive the trauma of capture. Of those that do, 53 per cent die within three months of confinement.

“Captive dolphins also suffer and die from intestinal disease, stress-related illness and chlorine poisoning.

“To a dolphin, a pool is a cage. These fast moving animals, which form complex social groups when free, cannot behave naturally in captivity.

“The mortality rates and abnormal behaviours of captive dolphins prove that a lack of stimulation causes them terrible stress.

“Swimming listlessly in circles is just one common indictor of boredom and psychological distress.

“Space is also an issue – pools are miserably small for large, far ranging animals that would swim up to 50 miles a day in the wild.

“The shallow waters expose dolphins’ delicate skin to painful sunburns.

“By withholding food, some trainers coerce dolphins into repetitive and unnatural behaviours, performing ‘tricks’ for the public.

“Hunger forces the dolphins to ignore their most basic natural instincts. They are even trained to beach themselves, despite the danger of doing so.

“Visitors don’t always realise that the much promoted dolphin ‘smile’ does not reflect of their emotional state. It is simply the shape of their mouths.”

The Turks and Caicos Islands has been known to discourage the captivity of marine

mammals by being home to a large number of wild bottlenose dolphins, one of the more popular named ‘Jojo’ who frequents the Grace Bay area.

Additionally, in 1990, the ‘Into the Blue’ project brought three captive dolphins from United Kingdom dolphin attractions to the TCI for their rehabilitation.

The three dolphins, Rocky, Missy and Silver were released into the wild in 1991.

Tourism Director, Ralph Higgs, in an invited comment said, “We [the Tourist Board] are keepers of the environment…we know that when decisions are made they are made after professional assessments.

“We want to be good custodians of the environment and we want to encourage that any decision taken be taken based on expert advice.”

He acknowledged that the issue is undoubtedly a sensitive one, but was confident that the proper government agencies will act after considering expert advice and the implications of decisions taken.

Late opening and closure of polls mark Election Day

BY VANESSA NARINE ELECTION Day has been the most anticipated day this year, maybe not more than decision 2012.

However, voters who lined up, as early as 6:00am, to cast their vote were in for a wait, as polling stations opened late, some as late as 7:40am.

By the end of the day, voters in line before 7:00pm, the scheduled closing time of the polls, still numbered in the hundreds forcing polls to close late.

Anyone in line at a polling station by 7:00pm was allowed to vote.

Police officers, on hand to maintain law and order, marked the last person in line at the scheduled closing time.

However, the large number of persons still waiting saw polls closing as late as 11:30pm.

THE VOTING EXPERIENCE Voters who spoke to the Weekly News described their experience as a long wait, followed by a drawn out process once inside the polling station.

At each polling station the crowds were separated according to their names in two different lines, one for voters with names A-O and another for P-Z. Once inside the voters had the process explained to them for two reasons; one because it was first time the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) had a system that saw them voting for candidates in their districts, as well as five At-Large candidates; and two because it was a legal requirement.

Some practices recognized as best practices in elections across the world, in particular having to state your name aloud for the polling station staff, proved disconcerting for some voters.

By mid-day on Election Day, Supervisor of Elections, Dudley Lewis, instructed his staff to try to reduce waiting times for voters by opening up more voting booths in each polling station and speeding up the transaction time with each individual.

Voters had complained that some polling stations had four polling booths, but only two were being used, but acknowledged the limited human resources.

While Lewis’ decision sped up the process somewhat, it was not enough as polls still closed very late.

Some voters complained about being in line for as much as seven hours.

Outside polling stations, political parties had teams posted to assist voters who needed to be assisted, as well as keep count on the number of voters in an effort to gauge their support. The Progressive National Party (PNP) was represented across the Islands in a far stronger force, compared to the other political contenders.

Umbrellas went up at the Oseta Jolly Primary School in Blue Hills as the sun came out in its full force during the mid-morning hours

Also, outside the polling station, police officers were posted to ensure that the laws guiding people’s conduct at the polling stations were met.

At some stations, officers were very strict, while at others the officers did not have such a strong hand.

In Five Cays, one officer prevented a young boy, who was walking his dog, from going in the direction of the polling station because he was attired in a People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) emblazoned t-shirt.

In other areas, persons selfregulated, as was with the no alcohol rule.

Bars, liquor stores and restaurants were not permitted to sell any alcoholic beverages during polling hours.

Section 65 of the Elections Ordinance it says, “No intoxicating liquor to be sold, offered or given in any premises on polling day during polling hours, or at any political meeting prior to or during polling.”

BALLOT SECURITY By the end of the voting process, voters’ concerns shifted from what they deemed an ineffective and inefficient polling process to security of the ballot boxes.

The district votes were counted first, a process that saw polling day staff not ending their day until the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Once the ballots were counted in the different districts, the ballot boxes will be held at police stations overnight, before being transported to Grand Turk.

All of the ballot boxes were transported to Dillon Hall, Grand Turk by the police plane, which made two trips today to collect them from across the family islands.

Governor spokesperson, Neil Smith, in a broadcasted interview, noted that the responsibility for security of the boxes lie with Supervisor of Elections.

However, he stressed that the maintaining security was a collected effort between the Elections

Supervisor, the police and Governor Ric Todd.

Smith made it clear that the Governor and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) are committed to ensuring the integrity of the process, in the interest of ensuring a smooth transition to democratic rule.

Additionally, Elections Supervisor maintained that there was sufficient security arrangements are in place to ensure that the election process is free, fair and transparent.

THE COUNT While the district votes were counted

and released after the close of polls, the At-Large results were released at 5:30pm on Saturday afternoon.

At the district level, the Progressive National Party (PNP) dominated, taking six of the 10 district seats.

The At-Large votes are being recounted, following a demand by the PDM leader, Oswald Skippings.

Until completed the provisional results indicate that the five elected candidates are: PDM deputy leader, Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson; PNP leader, Dr. Rufus Ewing; PDM’s

Derek Taylor; PNP’s Washington Misick; and PDM’s Josephine Connolly.

The Islands’ third party, People Progressive Party (PPP) did not fare well, in fact performed dismally with the party’s deputy leader, Zhavago Jolly, receiving 29 votes, the least amount of votes in the election. Party leader, Harold Charles, secured the support of 103 voters in his district, Five Cays.

The election is being contested by 37 candidates, drawn from three political parties and two independents.

The flag of Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) was flown on the Foreign Office building in London to mark the elections and return to democratic rule.

The flags of the Overseas Territories will now be flown on state occasions in London, including Trooping the Colour and other ceremonial occasions.

According to the Foreign Office, this brings representation of the Overseas Territories in line with the Commonwealth nations, which have long had their flags flown on such occasions. Flying these flags is a sign to the people in the Territories, and those in the UK, of our renewed commitment to the Territories, which was outlined in the White Paper earlier in the year.

Democracy can only work if people are the focus, Observer Mission head

BY VANESSA NARINE DEMOCRACY can only work well if those fighting for it remember who they are doing it for, if the people of the country remain the focus.

This is according to head of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Observer Mission, Joe Bossano, Member of Parliament (MO), Minister for Enterprise, Training and Employment in Gibraltar.

The Observer Mission is currently in the TCI to ensure that the polls are free and fair, operating as an independent, impartial and objective body.

Bossano’s eight-member team includes Thomas Docherty, United Kingdom (UK) MP; James Duddridge, UK MP; Juliette Penn, Election Commissioner, British Virgin Islands (BVI); Keith Lowenfield, Assistant Chief Election Monitor, Guyana; Rev. Lenworth Sterling, Senior Returning Officer for the constituency of St. Ann South Western, Jamaica; Gasper Jr. Baptiste, Deputy Chief Elections Officer, St. Lucia; and KonradOlszewski, Senior Independent Adviser to the Election Observer Mission The Observer Mission team was selected in coordination with the Association of Caribbean Electoral Organisations (ACEO).

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Bossano maintained that people are the sovereign in an

election process, the voters are most important.

FREE AND FAIR He said the group’s mandate is to observe and consider all aspects of the electoral process, with a view to assessing compliance with the standards for democratic elections.

The group is expected to conduct itself according to the standards expressed in the international declaration of principles for election observation, to which the Commonwealth is a signatory.

The head of the Observer Mission said, “My job is to be open to listening and seeing and coming to a conclusion after we put our views together.

“There are two parameters for us to work within. The first is the legal framework, which determines how the process is to take place, and if anything is not consistent with the law then that is something we would have to take note of….the other is being from another British Overseas Territory I can empathise with the people here.”

Bossano pointed out too that the other members of the team have a shared history with the British, since their countries were once British colonies.

He stressed that the presence of observers adds value to the process, since at the end of the day the Mission gives its “stamp of approval” to indicate that the process was free and fair, from an independent point of view.

From left, front row, Juliette Penn, Keith Lowenfield, Joe Bossano and Rev. Lenworth Sterling. From left, back row, James Duddridge, Gasper Jr. Baptiste and Thomas Docherty.

“What we want to do is what is best for your county, your people and your parliament and we have no loyalty to anybody else,” Bossano posited.

PROCESS MORE THAN PEOPLE Bossano made it clear the Mission is focused on the process, more than the people, ensuring that the correct processes are followed.

He said, “At the end of the day the impressions of the observers are intended to benefit the parliamentary system.”

According to him, if people raise certain concerns and similar concerns are raised by the members of the Mission, there will be an added credibility to them.

The head of the Observer Mission acknowledged that he is unaware of any instance where the

recommendation of observer teams influenced a change in the outcome of the elections.

On Election Day, the observers were spread across the islands to ensure that all the polling stations were visited.

Bossano and Penn were in Providenciales; Duddridgeand Lowenfield were in Grand Turk; Docherty and Sterlingwere in North and Middle Caicos; Olszewski was in Salt Cay and Baptiste was in South Caicos.

The head of the Observer Mission said, “Clearly we cannot be everywhere at the same time…the members of the Mission have been distributed in a way that maximises the possibilities we have with the limited manpower.”

REPORT Bossano made it clear that the

observers are not in the TCI to tell people what to do or how to do it.

They will produce a report at the end of the elections that highlights the possible areas of concern, taking into account how smoothly the process went or what the hiccups were.

He noted that there is a standard template when it comes to the Observer Missions’ reports; however, he pointed out too that the difference comes with the unique situations of the different countries.

“For example, the system is different this time around with 10 constituencies and the five At-Large seats,” Bossano said.

“Our report will have to be able to say whether the new system creates a problem or creates confusion… the report we produce have to be as comprehensive and as useful as we can make it.”

The Election Observer Mission will be in the TCI until November 12, at which time the team will present its report to the Governor Ric Todd and the report is expected to include recommendations for the future strengthening of the TCI’s electoral framework.

The presence of the Commonwealth group as an international observer to the national elections puts the TCI under the spotlight as it returns to democratic rule; three years after Britain suspended the government and took day-to-day control of the nation.

No tourism without the environment, Ralph Higgs

BY VANESSA NARINE AM I helping the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), is the question the Tourist Board will be posing to Islanders over the next month, following Monday’s launch of 2012’s Tourism Environmental Awareness Month (TEAM).

Each year, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) designates November as Caribbean Tourism Month and the TCI joins with its regional counterparts in celebrating under the theme ‘One Sea, One Voice and One Caribbean’.

The Tourist Board’s Director, Ralph Higgs, at Monday’s launch, stressed that there is no tourism without the environment.

He noted that tourism is the greatest contributor to the Islands’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a fact that underscores the need for the people of the TCI to be sensitized on protecting the Islands’ natural resources.

“The threats to tourism do not lie externally, they are here. For too long we have turned a blind eye,” Higgs said.

According to the Director, the Tourist Board has collaborated with the Turks and Caicos Hotel and

Tourism Association (TCHTA), the Environmental Health Department and the Department of Environmental and Maritime Affairs (DEMA) to roll out a month of activities.

He added that the Tourist Board has contacted all the political parties who have also been welcoming of a partnership and agreed to allow their campaign billboards to be painted over with messages encouraging Islanders to be conscious of protecting their environment.

Higgs maintains that the activities are comprehensive and have the allimportant element of sustainability.

MASSIVE CAMPAIGN The Tourist Board’s Training Manager, Blythe Clare, adding her bit, noted that the month of events translates to a massive campaign, which includes first time innovative activities to promote the eco-friendly message.

According to her, some of the first-time activities include the Hospitality Department of the TCI Community College showing the skills of their students, by hosting a Russian service restaurant; and a dialogue will take place with the relevant Tourism stakeholders and the public service drivers.

The ‘TEAM’ committee

Another new activity geared to involve children is the introduction ‘I-reporters’ where children identify an environmental problem in their community and draft a report.

However, Clare noted that the one of the most anticipated highlights will be on Saturday, December 8, when the month-long activities culminates with the first ever underwater cleanup.

Other activities include a public awareness week, the Inter-High School Speech Competition, a career day to exhibit the possibilities for employment in the hospitality sector

and school outreaches to primary schools across the Islands.

Clare maintains that the Tourist Board’s TEAM committee will storm the TCI with its message and is confident for a positive impact in the direction of change.

Director of DEMA, Kathleen Wood, stressed the important fact that the month of activity promotes a stark reality, which is that the environment is the primary component of the tourism industry and people’s actions are what can take away from that.

The objectives of Caribbean

Tourism Month seeks to create awareness of the importance of tourism in the Caribbean, to enhance the profile of the tourism sector in the marketplace, to attract positive media coverage and to reflect on the invaluable impact of tourism on the economic, social and cultural wellbeing of the Islands inhabitants.

The rationale for Caribbean Tourism Month centers around the need for all stakeholders to understand the importance of tourism as well as the benefits derived from an industry that represents the commercial engine of the economy.

The power of the VOTE ELECTIONS determine who is in power, but they do not determine how power is used and in this regard, elections belong to the people; it is their decision, in assessing the strengths or weaknesses of party platforms, to decide on their representatives and demand a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

This week, Face-to-Face asked a cross section of people from the community about their views on the vote.

What they had to say was a clear indication that voters in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) concur that they are empowered by the vote – something particularly important in this election, one of the most consequential elections in the country’s history.

Joyce Rigby, owner of ‘Touch of Class’ saloon (registered voter): “The vote this year is very important.

We had three years of the British and what the people want is what is best for the country. This election I am not only voting for myself, but for the future of my children and grandchildren. When we cast our vote, it would say that we understand how important this decision is. The decision we make will affect our lives in more ways than one.”

Edward Williams, owner of ‘Super Seven’ taxi services (registered voter): “This election is crucial for

Turks and Caicos Islanders. We finally have our Constitution back and in deciding on the right direction forward, the importance of the vote is increased. The situation in the Turks and Caicos Islands has not been the best for Turks Islanders, which is why we have to vote. With this election we are starting over and we have to do so by going in the right direction.”

Ary Desamour, baker (nonregistered voter): “I have been in the Turks and Caicos Islands for five years, working and giving back. I am not registered to vote, but I can comment on how important the vote is because like native Turks Islanders I have been faced with the challenges they have faced. This is an important election for the people, for jobs, for the economy, for every aspect of life in the Islands.”

Reverend Conrad Howell, President of the Providenciales Ministerial Fellowship and Pastor of Sure Foundation Ministries (registered voter): “Everyone ought to see voting as a Christina responsibility, as well as a right as a citizen of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Citizens have an obligation to obey the law and as a Christian, one should demonstrate obedience to the law, as well as recognise and take hold of one’s rights under the law.

Jesus Christ died for the freedom of all mankind and the ability to vote

is one of the liberties we have. As a child of God, one ought to recognise the importance of this vote.”

Dorlean Aniet, 20-year-resident (non-registered voter): “Being able to vote is good; good for the people, good for their children and good for the country to develop.”

Daniel Malcolm, retired politician (registered voter): “Any election is important, because it is important that people are able to decide their fate. It is quintessential that people participate in their democracy to have a say in charting their destiny, in what happens after the elections.”

Gloria Symonette-Forbes, retiree, (registered voter): “Casting the vote this election is important because it marked the return of democracy to the people, a time when we get to decide what we want and how we want it. The vote is important for only for now, but for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When I look back I must be able to say that I did what was right, especially for the future generation.”

Jerzy Kolodziej, businessperson (registered voter):“Obviously whatever happens will be better that the having the Interim Administration; having a voice is better than no voice at all. Especially now, the vote is how what Turks and Caicos Islanders can use to ensure that their representatives carry the

9

mandate of the people.”

Henri Abel, 8-year-resident (nonregistered voter): “The vote counts for the people and for their children.

The vote is for the future.”

Mikhail Hinson, police officer (registered voter): “The vote this year is extremely important given the challenges we are facing, the deficit, the state of the economy and the basic fact that we need to improve and the people decide how

they develop with the vote. The vote is key to overcoming the challenges we face as a country.”

It is accepted that voting does not guarantee that one thing or another will be the order of the day, but choosing not to vote denies a person one of they key tools with which they can have meaningful say in their democracy – especially important in a developing democracy.

We welcome letters from all members of the public on a variety of topics Please note that all submissions are subject to editing in keeping with defamation laws and newspaper style. Letters should be accompanied by the author’s full name, location and phone number. Names will be withheld if requested.

Roundabouts of death Dear Editor, I write to bring to the attention of the government of the Turks and Caicos Islands (who, though I am not a lawyer, I believe may be held legally responsible) the fatally dangerous situation which exists (and which has existed for over 18 months) particularly at the Suzy Turn roundabout, and virtually all the roundabouts on Leeward Highway.

This poorly designed and dangerously engineered example of traffic control at the intersection of Leeward Highway and Suzie Turn/ Turtle Cove Road has been without any signage since the original signs were knocked down years ago.

Motorists travelling east/west along Leeward Highway have no indication that at 40 mph they are about to enter a traffic control device (roundabout).

That the roundabout is too small and visually indistinguishable from the median which hides it in both directions makes it virtually invisible.

Without any traffic control signage, motorists (tourists) not familiar with the fact that this is a major and busy intersection, or those inattentive to their driving or unknowing of the traffic rules regarding roundabouts (many local residents) do not slow or prepare to yield as per the traffic rules for driving in a roundabout, and pass through this intersection at a dangerous rate of speed.

Being a resident nearby, I pass through this intersection many times a day, and I have personally witnessed more than eightaccidents at this intersection.

I have to ask that if this is my personal count, how many accidents actually occur – no doubt dozens!

I myself was struck by a tourist, failing to yield, six months ago.

Though no major injuries occurred, his passenger required ambulance intervention and a hospital visit, and over $30,000 damage to the vehicles was incurred.

The tourist stated, and rightfully so, that from his driving vantage, without benefit of any road traffic signs, he could not tell he was approaching an intersection until it was far too late for him to brake or avoid running into my vehicle.

And finally, only a month ago, I was saddened and outraged to see that a 27-year-old resident was killed in an accident at this same intersection!

Despite dozens of accidents, hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, many personal injuries requiring hospital visits, and now a death – there remains NO SIGNAGE! I have brought up this topic repeatedly with members of the police department and they informed me that the responsibility for traffic signage was with the Road TrafficDepartment.

I spoke with representatives with this department and they informed me that the responsibility fell to TCIG Engineering and Maintenance (EMS).

Speaking with EMS they informed me that traffic signage was under the jurisdiction of Road Traffic Department.

Obviously there is as much ineffectual confusion within the

government departments involved in this fatality-causing intersection as there is for the drivers negotiating it.

It cannot be for a lack of funding, because there has been just recently erected a number of new road traffic signs along relatively infrequentlytravelled Pratt’s Road, informing drivers to limit their speed (20 MPH, SLOW) going up the steepest hill on the island!?

Why would signs be erected here, on a low-volume, straight road when they cannot be installed at a very high volume intersection, that is a known dangerous interchange, that has been the location of multiple accidents and a fatality?

If those responsible for the signage (whatever person and department it may be) do not provide traffic control signage when there has been a long and demonstrated history of numerous accidents and a fatality, when a clear and repeatedly dangerous situation exists and still the government department responsible for traffic safety does not act – is it not complicit in the accidents and potentially (legally) liable for not providing even the minimum standard of safety to those it is charged with protecting?

If one death is not enough to bring about responsible action, how many people need be injured or killed before the personal costs become actionable, or criminal charges are laid against TCIG for failure to perform their duties and act preventatively in the face of a clearly demonstrated danger?

Yours sincerely, Fraser Dods

The Aftermath COMMENTARY

DUE to necessary publication deadlines I am writing this piece before the election and before its results are known.

I must say, however, that due to the current involvement of the Conservative led coalition British government the results of this election will have a different effect from what has been experienced in the past.

Leading up to 2007 the British under a Labour government took a much different view of the Turks and Caicos.

In May of 2010 all this changed because politics in Britain changed.

Of the 14 overseas territories we are obviously attracting the most attention. The reasons for this are now clear. They are

By David Tapfer borne by both political parties but to different extents and for vastly different reasons.

The 1995 to 2003 PDM government of Derek Taylor applied good policies and did their duty and carefully and slowly pulled the country up by its bootstraps from the mistakes of the

SPACE IS LIMITED!

previous administration. Good policies no matter how well conceived are not laws. At some point along the way we needed most, not all, of the legislation now imposed by Britain.

This is a democracy and the voters must be constantly kept advised.

Eighty per cent of the voters are in the Caicos Islands. They must continue to believe the job you are doing is in their best interests.

Taylor’s public relations was poor.

We have discovered however that public relations is no substitute for honesty. Honesty is no substitute for public relations either!

Along came Michael Misick and the same old PNP who we were warned about by hero JAGS McCartney. What followed should have been no surprise but the magnitude of it all certainly is.

After the election, what will you do?

Dear Editor, By the time most of you read this the November 9, 2012, election will be over.

I wonder what will be the reaction of the parties supporters depending upon who wins.

Two questions keep coming to mind: What will the PNP supporters do if the PDM wins?

What will the PDM supporters do if the PNP wins?

But let's make it personal, what will you do?

November 10, 2012, the Saturday morning after.

PNP supporters are all in for the PNP party, so we know there will be sadness and disappointment if they lose.

The same scenario will take place among the PDM supporters if they lose.

And then there are those who could not care less who wins, because they know who and what really controls this country and they are holding a ‘can't lose’ hand.

If your party wins what will you do? Will you have a big celebration and then go home and fall asleep again, the way we have been doing for years.

Or will we realise that our work has just begun? Will we make the same missteps of the past?

Or, will we organise and mobilise our efforts around a common goal?

Or, will we seek reciprocity for

our voters.

Here is the other question, and I know this may be difficult for most of you, but what will we do if your party loses and the other guys win?

Will you declare 30 days of mourning? Will we resign ourselves to no progress for the next few years and settle for whatever happens.

Will we as a country rant, rave and complain for four years about how bad things are.

As a nation regardless of who wins there are questions and answers about our past mistakes that must be dealt with. No matter which party wins.

Turks and Caicos, after the November 9 election, irrespective of the winner, Turks and Caicos Islanders must work together to define our own political, economic, educational and social agendas.

Turks and Caicos, we must be strong and cohesive in our approach if we want to be counted at the decision-making tables of criminal and social justice, empowerment, educational excellence, and political inclusion; and it matters not who is Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

There is much work to do. The work must be done, and we must do it.

Yours truly,

At some point in time in any government you need to move your administration ahead. The PDM refrained from risk taking and the PNP went totally overboard. Now we are left with the results including a health system which delivers less primary care and little improvement in secondary care. However it has tripled our cost for the next 25 years.

Would the Taylor hospital health plan been better? Of course, but who knew it?

Immigration policies needed reform. The soft hands policy of the PDM years was replaced by the madness of the PNP. Where were the education plans and the proposal for new schools.

PDM crown land policies needed to be put into law.

No one could have imagined the recklessness that brought us the wide spread PNP development failures and massive debts that our grandchildren will be burdened with.

PDM approved developments have all succeeded. We celebrated

the causeway but questioned the way it was built and why so late.

The grant came to Derek in May 2003 but who knew he had it.

Hurriedly built years late by PNP in 2007 of dirt and plastic cloth with light poles stuck in the mud and a concrete wall with no footings.

God showed his disdain when he sent wet weak Hanna to destroy the mess.

Had we had the needed laws prosecutions would already be behind us.

Hopefully lessons were learned and we can overcome.

The economic answer lies as always with good development and the expansion of our economy. We have the world’s largest economy of the USA at our doorstep and need not look to the broken economies of the EU. Will our new administration and the intense oversight of the Tory led FCO move us in the right direction?

We hope so.

Public workers will get their 10 per cent again CIVIL servants will have 10 per cent of their wages previouslyslashedby the interim administration reinstated from February 2013.

According to Governor Ric Todd, who made the announcement last Friday, the government has carefully examined the affordability of reinstating the pay cut and believes that this would now be affordable from February 1, 2013.

He maintains that the restoration has been an intention of the Governor’s Office for some time and the new Deputy Governor, Anya Williams, raised this topic with United Kingdom ministers during her meeting with them in October.

Todd said, “I have always expressed my support and admiration for the dedicated and professional public servants of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“When the pay cut was announced it was made clear that we would work to restore it at the earliest possible opportunity.

“I am delighted, therefore, to be able to make this announcement. I have often repeated our commitment to doing so at the earliest opportunity.

“Taking into account the significant economic and political progress made in the Turks and

Caicos particularly over the past year, and the healthy indications of the Quarter Two financial data published on October 29, we closely examined the affordability of this measure and proposed it to UK ministers.

“This has now been agreed to, subject to the agreement of the new House of Assembly who need to consider its affordability alongside the other spending priorities of the new government.”

An elected government will have to agree to the reinstatement proposal in accordance with two conditions: 1.

That any reinstatement takes into account the conclusions and recommendations of the Turks and Caicos Islands Government (TCIG); and 2.

That the incoming elected government is satisfied that the reinstatement continues to be affordable alongside its other expenditure priorities.

Adding her bit, the Deputy Governor said, “It is our intention to examine all pay and grading issues in order to more properly recognise the vital role of our public servants in the TCI. “This is an important first step to seeing pay rates restored as part of our continuing programme to make the public service even better.

Seventeen political candidates have interest in gov’t contracts POLITICAL candidates with interest in government have disclosed it to the Integrity Commission, which has published a register of government contracts and interests declared.

The report found that 10 of the 15 candidates for the Progressive National Party (PNP), including the leader and deputy, have interest in government contracts.

The other PNP candidates with interests are: Washington Misick, Gregory Lightbourne, DonHue Gardiner, Adrian Williams, AkierraMisick, Thomas Clay Ewing, Portia Stubbs-Smith and Norman Saunders.

In the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) camp seven of their 15 candidates have a declared interest.

The seven are Samuel Harvey, Josephine Connolly, Delroy Williams, Edith Cox, Derek Rolle, Golray Ewing, Ashwood Forbes, Director of the Integrity Commission, Eugene Otuonye, said, “It is extremely important that this information is publicly available to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“In doing so, the commission is fulfilling its primary responsibility under the constitution which is to promote integrity, honesty and good faith in public life in the islands.”

The Integrity Commission compiled and published the register of government contracts and interests declared by political candidates in accordance with Section 49(1)(f) of the constitution which came into force on October 15.

According to the 2012 Constitution, a person may be disqualified from being appointed as a member of the House of Assembly if they are a party to any contract with the government and have not disclosed in a notice to the Integrity Commission the nature of such contract and his or her interest in it.

In the run up to the elections which took place on November 9, the Integrity Commission had a number of legislative responsibilities concerning the publication of information and making this readily available to the public of the Turks and Caicos Islands. (VANESSA NARINE)

“It is only right and proper that our civil and public servants, teachers, health professionals, uniformed services and emergency responders are properly remunerated for their achievements.”

DELIVERING Leader of the Progressive National Party (PNP), Dr. Rufus Ewing, noted that his party supports for the reinstatement of the 10 per cent salary cut for the civil service and if elected will deliver.

In a statement Ewing said, “It seems not coincidental that this reinstatement is announced following the release of the PNP manifesto, A Plan For Prosperity, which promised the reinstatement of the 10 per cent salary deduction.

“To make this announcement seven days prior to elections leads one to wonder what game the interim administration is playing.”

In an invited comment, the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) leader, Oswald Skippings,

also wondered at the timing of the decision to reinstate the 10 per cent.

He said, “This is something that the PDM has promised and we will ensure that it is done.”

According to him, the party will also review the possibility of the 10 per cent being retroactive.

The 10 per cent deduction was previously made as part of measures taken to reduce TCIG’s expenditure following the financial collapse of the previous administration in 2010.

Governor Ric Todd stresses UK’s commitment to TCI’s development

BY VANESSA NARINE GOVERNOR Ric Todd, this week, reiterated the United Kingdom’s commitment to the development of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

He said, “There are of course many challenges ahead, but the UK stands ready to continue to work with and to support the further development of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“We look forward, therefore, to working with the new administration towards a bright future that builds upon our shared inheritance.”

Todd added that the UK Overseas Territory White Paper demonstrated its commitment to all 14 of the Overseas Territories.

NEW CHAPTER The Governor dubbed the return to elected government as the start of a new chapter for the islands.

He said, “As we all look now with optimism and hope to the future, I believe that it is worth pausing to contemplate this week ahead of the election just how far the islands and the UK have come together these past few years and recognise just how challenging a journey this has been.

“No one needs to remind people on TCI that the country endured a ‘perfect storm’ in 2008/2009 of the breakdown of good governance, the consequences of the global financial crisis and Hurricane Ike. “But even as the economy grew strongly in the boom years, the country had increased its debt; investors turned away from these shores; and, as we know, there was an increasing absence of confidence in the institutions of the TCI. “The allegations of criminal

Governor Ric Todd

activity related to this period are being dealt with through the islands’ courts.

“Dealing with these issues and the consequences of economic and financial downturn in 2009 alone would be a tremendous challenge.

“To work together as we have done to introduce the most ambitious programme of public reforms in any UK Overseas Territory, and perhaps in the region, is another.

“To do both together is simply a remarkable achievement by the people of TCI of which they can be rightly proud.

“And things are improving.

Growth returned in 2010, has continued at 4.3 per cent in 2011 and will carry on again this year; helped not least by the series of significant investments which have been announced in the past months.”

Todd expressed his appreciation to the men and women who have contributed to the TCI’s success, particularly in Turks and Caicos Islands Government (TCIG), as well as in the private sector and the UK. He said, “Their efforts have been instrumental in seeing a

democratically elected government being returned to the TCI. “Each and every one of them should be very proud indeed of their contribution…equally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the TCI’s political parties and politicians for the quality of the campaigns that they have run for this election and the dialogue they have had with the Permanent Secretaries and myself to prepare for government.

“That they have been civil and focused on the positives of their own plans for the country is to their credit; one wise Pastor recently told me that this was the calmest, most reasonable and orderly election that he could remember on the islands.”

The Governor also expressed his appreciation to the people of the TCI for their “patience and fortitude” over the past three years.

He said, “We have tried at all times to consult widely, to be open, honest and accountable while trying to do the right thing for the TCI – meet the milestones, build the economy and run effective and transparent government.”

The interim administration took over the running of the country following the suspension of parts of the previous 2006 Constitution following the Sir Robin Auld Commission of Inquiry which stated that there was “a high probability of systemic corruption in government and the legislature and among public officers in the Turks and Caicos Islands in recent years”.

The Turks and Caicos Constitution Order 2011 being proclaimed into effect by Governor Ric Todd, marks the beginning of the end of the three year UK-led interim administration.

Politicians make final bid to sway undecided voters

BY VANESSA NARINE POLITICAL parties and independent candidates made their final campaign push on the eve of the national elections in an effort to sway undecided voters.

Beginning with a motorcade of enthusiastic supporters, both major political parties held rallies at their party headquarters in Providenciales; the Progressive National Party (PNP) going the extra mile to ensure that they were represented in all of the islands on the eve of the most consequential election in the history of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The PNP’s massive rally at their headquarters on Airport Road drew hundreds of supporters, a much larger gathering than the People’s Democratic Movement’s (PDM) ‘Rally of Rallies’, only minutes away, inspired.

Both parties stressed for the last time the messages they campaigned on over the last few months; very similar platforms, as it relates to the pressing issues, including on plans to grow the economy through diversification and tapping into new markets; creating jobs by supporting small businesses and encouraging investment; building more schools and training more teachers, increasing funding for scholarships and investing in technical/vocational education.

However, while the PDM stressed their message for the final time, the PNP focused more on energising their base, a tactic that seemed to have had the desired effect given the supporters’ responses to the junkanoo band in particular.

What was similar was both parties’ efforts to encourage voter turnout and unity at such as crucial time in TCI’s history.

Both parties also addressed the

youth by involving youth speakers at the rallies: KimoTymes, who holds a political science degree, was one of the speakers fielded by the PNP; while Elisha Jennings, from the PMD’s Young Democrats, represented her party.

The PDM and PNP also encouraged their supporters to “vote down the line” to ensure that they secure majority in the elections.

Another commonality at the two rallies were the anti-British sentiments that prevailed, the consensus being that the TCI has been under the rule of the interim administration three years too long.

Hence the anticipation for a return to democracy, where the government of the day would truly carry the mandate of the people.

The one disturbing factor at both rallies was the supporters imbibing on alcoholic beverages.

Consultations earlier this year between local political parties saw them supporting the view that democracy needs to be seen as serious business and agreeing to the ‘no alcohol’ at campaign events rule.

Subsection two of section 65 of the 2012 Revised Elections Ordinance, which was passed in May this year says, “No intoxicating liquor shall be sold, offered for sale, or given away at a political meeting.”

Such actions by politicians would carry fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months, or both, according to subsection four of section 65 of the 2012 Revised Elections Ordinance.

In the People Progressive Party (PPP) camp, contesting politicians went the route of house to house meetings, rather than hosting a rally, according to the party’s press office.

Independent candidates, on the other hand, were more relaxed.

The Weekly News caught up

Enthusiastic supporters at PDM's 'Rally of Rallies'

This supporter is in favour of the PNP's visionfor advancement of educational opportunities in the TCI

with the only independent At-Large candidate, Mr. Oswald Simons, who said, “I am taking a break tonight.

“Tomorrow my hope is that people distribute their votes as they think fit and vote for the candidates they think fit, rather than entirely for parties.”

With the differences and similarities among those contesting office, the common message all political contenders share is the view that the TCI is at an important crossroads in its history and the vote will determine the way forward – a vote for development and prosperity of the nation.

Campaign expenditure reports have to be filed with Integrity Commission POLITICAL parties and independent candidates have, to date, been compliant with their financial reporting obligations, according to Head of the Integrity Commission’s Political Financial Activities Unit (PFAU), Patrick Noonan.

However, once the elections are over, both groups will need to file campaign expenditure reports with the Commission.

Noonan stated that once the elections are over political parties have three months to produce a detailed expenditure report and if

the spending was over $250,000, the report has to be audited.

However, he noted that the Integrity Commission has the right to require that the report be audited even if the spending is below $250,000.

In the case of Independents, Noonan said they have 10 days to file their report.

Political parties are only allowed spend $600,000 on their campaigns, with the limit of single donations being $30,000, while Independents are allowed

a campaign spending limit of $30,000 if they are running in an electoral district and $100,000 if they are running At-Large.

The PFAU began operation on Monday, ahead of the enactment of the Political Activities Ordinance, which came into force on August 28.

The Ordinance gives the Integrity Commission responsibility for ensuring that political parties and candidates comply with their respective legal obligations under the Ordinance. (VANESSA NARINE)

Elected government to consider age talks’ results THE consultation on the inconsistent age limits within the Turks and Caicos Islands legal framework ended last Friday.

Results will be presented to the newly elected incoming government for discussion and direction on the way forward.

The consultation sought the views of the public on reviewing the existing, but inconsistent, age limits that apply to getting married without parental consent, access to birth control, adoption, consumption of alcohol, owning a gun, gambling, driving a vehicle, employment, and the age of criminal responsibility.

Thirteen meetings and a series of one-to-one discussions were held throughout the islands and included Soroptomists, Rotary, Kiwanis, the TCI Community College (TCICC), Clement Howell High School, HJ Robinson High School, youth groups and individuals from the family islands.

The results were reviewed by a team comprising of persons from the Ministry of the Environment and Home Affairs, Youth Department and the Human Rights Commission and will be presented to the new Cabinet.

Department, Angela Musgrove, told the Weekly News that the consultations were productive and high school students, in particular, were vocal about the age limits for sexual consent and access to birth control.

She said, “What we saw was our young people speaking from an informed position on a law that affects their lives.

“What the young people want are laws that are clear.”

Musgrove stated that now that the consultations are concluded the hope is that decisions are taken to close the gaps between the inconsistent age limits.

Anand Heeraman appointed as Auditor General

THE post of Auditor General was filled on Thursday by Anand Heeraman, who will now act as head of the newly formed Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) National Audit Office (NAO).

Governor Ric Todd appointed Heeraman and his appointment is for six years.

The new Auditor General is expected to arrive in the TCI before the end of November to take up his role.

Governor Todd, commenting on the appointment, said, “The importance of this high profile role was demonstrated by global interest in the post with a total of 15 applications from as far away as New Zealand, Africa and the Middle East. I am delighted that we have secured the services of a much experienced and motivated individual to take forward this extremely important oversight role.”

For the past year and a half, Heeraman has been a specialist financial consultant to the Attorney General in the Anti-

Corruption Bureau of Trinidad and Tobago. He is also a Fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA), England, and a Certified General Accountant, Canada, and has over 15 years of experience in the accountancy field.

The National Audit Office Ordinance 2012 established a National Audit Office (NAO) to strengthen the control and supervision by the House of Assembly of the expenditure of public money by making further provision for the empowerment and status of the holder of the office of Auditor General.

The Ordinance also provided for an external auditor of the national audit office; to make provision for promoting economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public money by government departments and other authorities and bodies; and for connected purposes.

The NAO is a Statutory Body and replaces the Office of Chief Auditor.

Two TCIG officials charged for illegally importing horse TWO Turks and Caicos Islands Government (TCIG) officials were arrested and charged on Wednesday for the illegal importation of a horse, following a four-month investigation by the Integrity Commission.

Sonji Williams, 35, a Senior Customs Officer and Oliver Williams,

45, of the Emergency Management Service were investigated on alleged acts of corruption, an offence as stated in the Integrity Commission Ordinance.

They were put on bail and are scheduled to appear before Grand Turk Magistrates Court on Thursday November 22.

Man charged for aggravated burglary A 32-year-old male was formally charged and cautioned by the police for aggravated burglary on Monday.

It was reported that on Friday, September 21, at approximately 3:00am a 50-year-old woman was awakened by a noise in her home in Five Cays. The woman got up to determine the source of the noise, at which time she was confronted by a male with what appeared to be

a handgun in his hands. The male struck the lady and pushed her down three flights of stairs. She was taken to the hospital where she received treatment for non-life threatening injuries and was later discharged.

Sergeant Andy Harry of the Criminal Investigation Division, said, “What was done to this lady was very serious, luckily, she did not sustain more serious injuries.”

Man sentenced to five years imprisonment A 29 year old male plead guilty in the Supreme Court to Possession of Unlicensed Firearm and Possession of Ammunition, last Friday and was sentenced to five years in prison.

It was reported that on Friday 17 August 2012 Tactical Unit officers of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police conducted a search on a grey Toyota Corolla car owned by a Claudin Ulyess. During the search a 9mm pistol with six rounds of 380mm ammunition was found.

Criminal Investigation Division, said, “I hope this sends a strong message to any individual who may be in possession of an illegal firearm or ammunition to turn it in to the authorities.”

“We will continue to urge members of the public who may know or have any information relating to anyone with firearm(s) to report it to the authorities. If you have a firearm in your possession and are afraid to bring it in, you can call us and tell us where it is and we will pick it up.”

No approval for Leeward Dredging NO approval has been given to allow dredging of the Leeward Channel to date, according to the Governor’s spokesperson, Neil Smith.

Smith said, “An application has been received and this is going through the planning process. It too has neither been approved nor rejected.”

The proposal to dredge the Leeward channel by Blue Haven Marina and Resort was gazetted last Friday and persons wishing to make representation have 28 days from October 26 to do so to the Director of Planning.

Director of the Department of Environmental and Maritime Affairs (DEMA), Kathleen Wood, in an invited comment, stressed that there is a regulatory process that will be followed.

She said, “Whenever we have had problems in the past it is because the regulatory process has been circumvented. The government departments are charged that all the safeguards are in place and any proposals to government will follow the proper process that is required.

“The public can rest assured that every consideration will be given to this controversial issue.”

Blue Haven Marina and Resort appears confident that its application will be approved, in light of the fact that it recently announced that by summer 2013 it will be able to cater to yachts up to 180 feet.

According to a report by Sarah Bensimon for ‘All at sea Caribbean’, Blue Haven Marina and Resort intends to make its summer 2013 idea a possibility through “plans for maintenance dredging” that will bring its capacity to 12 feet, which is projected to be completed by winter

Kathleen Wood

2013.

Once completed, Blue Haven Marina and Resort is expected to

offer: hassle-free berthing in the Turks and Caicos Islands; 51 berths for yachts up to 180 feet, initially with a max draft of 5.5 feet; marina concierge will cater to crews and guests with exclusive itineraries and planned activities; and highly secured marina docks to ensure privacy, among others.

According to widespread speculation, Blue Haven Marina and Resort was initially the Leeward Marina, which was once owned by Lord Michael Ashcroft.

The dredging proposal continues to rouse strong opposition from many in the local community, who insist that Blue Haven Marina and Resort should not dredge the Leeward channel, least it affect marine life in the area, particularly the reefs. (VANESSA NARINE)

Two charged for serious offences LAST Saturday, a 22 and a 32 year old male were arrested and charged by the police for several serious offences.

The 22-year-old male is charged for carrying an imitation firearm and possession of firearm with intent to commit a serious offence.

The 32 year old is charged for carrying a firearm, carrying ammunition, discharging ammunition, using a firearm with intent to cause fear, using a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of firearm with intent to commit a serious offence, assault with intent to rob, unlawful entry and returning to the islands

contrary to a deportation order.

The charges were laid following an on Monday, October 22, when officers attached to the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Street Crime Unit were shot at while attempting to make an arrest.

Inspector Grantley Williams of the Criminal Investigation Division, said, “It is clear that both men were equipped to put someone’s life in danger.

“I am urging anyone who are or know anyone who is in possession of firearm (s) or ammunition (s) to turn it into the police, if you are afraid to turn it in, call us and we will collect it.”

In memory of Phillip Simmons Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the lord.

How does your garden grow

YOUR DIET

ASK TAMIKA

TCI sand is scarce in nutrients and minerals.

How to grow plants in sand SAND on beaches or in Zen gardens may be wonderful but pure sand is not conducive to growing most types of plants.

Turks and Caicos sand has no nutrient value, and very little mineral value. It does not hold water well, and is host to a very large nematode population.

In short, unless you're planting nothing but natives, planting in the Islands’ sand requires adding organic matter (compost, leaf mold etc) to get plants to thrive.

In my experience, when planting in sand, the best ratio of organic matter to sand is three to one, or 75 per cent organic matter to 25 per cent sand.

Adding organic matter in this ratio converts pure sand into a sandy loam, which will hold enough moisture, while still providing proper drainage, giving proper nutrition.

When planting in sand, you will use one of two techniques. If you are planting a large area, you will want to mix the organic matter into the sand.

Of course, if you are adding 75 per cent more than what is there, this is going to raise the level of the soil unless you remove some of the sand beforehand.

My favourite way of adding organic matter is to dig out to about 12 inches deep, and layer the organic matter three times with three inches of organic matter to one inch of sand.

It will still be a little above ground level, but the sand will very quickly filter down into the organic matter, and it will level out.

This saves a lot of work mixing the two in place. Digging down the required 12 inches is easy except for the sand collapsing in on itself.

Planting a single plant in sand is easier. First you need to wet the sand

so it will not collapse down upon itself while you're digging.

Dig a small hole and fill with water and let sink in. Do this two or three times until the sides are saturated enough so that they don't collapse while digging.

The water won't want to sink into the sand at first so, to decrease the surface tension, add some liquid dish soap to the water. The soap acts as a surfactant to make the water ‘stick’ to the sand.

Once you have dug a hole that is two to three times the width of the plant rootball and three inches deeper, put three inches of organic matter into the bottom, add the plant, fill the hole with water, then layer as above, with one inch sand and three inches organic

matter to help roots establish.

Organic matter eventually breaks down, so adding organic matter each year will ensure that your plants continue to thrive.

This can be done by simply spreading compost about three inches deep from right past the trunk to the dripline of the plant, working it into the top inch or two of soil, and mulching.

After a few years, you will notice that the soil is very friable (crumbly) and rich; nothing like the sand you once had there.

Now your plant will be able to grow and thrive, and when it grows out past the amended soil, it will be strong enough to survive in the sand around it.

Diabetes and Teens

DIABETES has the potential to affect everyone—every age group, every race and every gender. This disease does not discriminate. Therefore, it is important that everyone is educated on how to prevent, control or better manage his or her condition.

This week I want to focus on a group that is sometimes forgotten because they are not children that require a lot of our time, but they are also not adults, our teenagers.

Even though there has been an alarming increase in the number of teenagers who are affected by Type 2 Diabetes, teenagers are usually affected by Type 1 Diabetes.

According to statistics from the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP), Type 1 Diabetes affect approximately 215,000 youth under the age of 20.

Type 1 Diabetes was once called “juvenile” diabetes because it is usually diagnosed in children. In type 1 diabetes, the cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed. There is no reason for the cells being destroyed except for maybe a genetic defect or because of toxins and viruses. The result is the teenager needs insulin from an artificial source such as an insulin shot or pump. Insulin is the hormone that is needed to take the excess sugar from the blood and keep the blood sugar under control. Without it, the blood sugar can get dangerously high.

By nature, teenagers are free spirited without a care in the world.

However, as a teen, you should be taught how to effectively manage and care for your diabetes so that you can live a long, happy and healthy life. Diabetes does not have to ‘cramp your style’ but you should take some precautions: • Make wise food choices. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products. Learn when to eat and how much to have.

• Take your time when you eat. It takes about 15 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you are full. So, wait 15 minutes before eating second helpings.

• Do not skip meals. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a snack. You will have a ready supply of energy and not get too hungry.

• Be physically active for 30 to 60 minutes most days, such as taking a brisk walk. Spend less time watching TV or sitting at the computer.

Two times a week do activities to strengthen muscles and bone, such as lifting weights or sit-ups.

• Reach and stay at a healthy weight. Making wise food choices and being active can help you control your weight.

• Take your medicines as prescribed and keep taking them, even after you’ve reached your targets.

If you are a teen with diabetes or know someone with diabetes, please contact me to make an appointment to get personalize nutritional counseling.

The commissioners of the Integrity Commission, with the exception of the commission’s chairman, Sir David Simmons

Code of conduct delivers value for money, Bishop Clarence Williams

BY VANESSA NARINE THE Code of Conduct for Persons in Public Life, a requirement under the 2011 Constitution, delivers value for money, according to Bishop Clarence Williams, a commissioner with the Integrity Commission.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Williams noted that the code regulates the behaviour of persons in public life, by holding them accountable.

He pointed out that given the Turks and Caicos Islands’ history of maladministration, the code delivers the taxpayer value for money in the kind of service they get from persons in public life.

Williams added that the code was widely consulted on throughout the islands, in addition to being sent to political parties and those who are currently acting in public life.

He assured that the commission will continue its public education programme, particularly since members of the public will be instrumental in assisting in enforcing the code.

PUBLIC’S ROLE Williams explained that members of the public have a right to inform the commission of possible breaches to

the code.

Commissioners are sworn to confidentiality or face penalties that include a fine or imprisonment or both.

According to Williams, whistleblowers are protected under the third amendment of the Integrity Commission Ordinance.

The ordinance states that, “A public official shall benefit from the protections in sections 58L and 58M if he makes a protected disclosure, in good faith.”

Williams noted that if the disclosure is deemed malicious the individual making the disclosure may be liable for prosecution.

He made the distinction between malicious and frivolous, noting that malicious reports will be investigated and prosecuted.

However, he urged that persons with any information, no matter if they deem it frivolous, should still come forward.

“The public is a watchdog,” Williams said.

WORKING DOCUMENT Director of the commission, Eugene Otuonye, stressed that it is a working document, in that it will be amended as needed.

The constitution says the Integrity

Commission has a duty to, “keep the code under review and amend or replace it as it considers necessary or desirable”.

He added that it is comprehensive and advises on principles of public life, as well as on how to identify, avoid or manage conflicts of interest.

On the note of enforcement, Otuonye stated that if the code is breached the third amendment of the Integrity Commission Ordinance makes clear provisions for prosecution.

The constitution states that, “[The Integrity Commission] in accordance with any ordinance, investigate any alleged failures to abide by the code by persons subject to it, either in response to a complaint or on its own initiative.”

The commission’s director assured that the rules of natural justice will be adhered to if prosecutions are pursued.

Otuonye said the code is unique since it regulates the actions of all persons in public life from the Speaker of the House of Assembly to Special Advisors and members of statutory boards.

The Code of Conduct for Persons in Public Life is one of the most important documents coming out from the commission.

Political leaders weigh in on petition to recall Governor LEADERS of the two major political parties, this week, weighed in on the petition to recall Ric Todd as Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The ‘Send Governor Ric Todd Back to the UK’ petition has become increasingly popular.

The petition letter states that, “Governor Ric Todd has demonstrated a persistent and arrogant disregard for the customs, culture and people of the Turks and Caicos Islands since his arrival.

“The offensive decisions, strategies and changes to our laws that have been manipulated by Ric Todd are too numerous to mention here but include; a) Lowering the age of consent to 16 for boys to engage in a homosexual act despite our feelings to the contrary. “b) Unilaterally changing our laws to permit the caging of dolphins despite our feelings to the contrary. “c) Pressuring the country on

behalf of questionable developers for a substantial increase in the building height limitation on Grace Bay despite our feelings to the contrary. “d) Supporting the illegal dredging of the Leeward Channel and the National Park for the benefit of one wealthy and influential developer despite the damage it will cause to our reefs and objections of the people of this country to the contrary.”

Leader of the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM), Oswald Skippings, was confident that Todd will be recalled.

When asked about his party’s approach to engagement with the United Kingdom, Skippings made it clear that a PDM government will represent the interests of the TCI people, as an elected government with a mandate to do so.

In September, Skippings said the Interim Administration has failed in their duties as a government.

Dr. Rufus Ewing, the leader of the Progressive National Party (PNP), told the Weekly News that the people behind the petition have a democratic right to do so.

“I wish them all well and hope they are successful,” he said.

In a prior interview, Ewing told the Weekly News that the interim administration has been confrontational and autocratic in their governance, almost dictatorial and while some of the policies they have implemented have been beneficial, not all have been in the best interest of the people.

The Governor’s spokesperson, Neil Smith, in an invited comment said, “Let me be clear, Governor Ric Todd continues to enjoy the full support of UK ministers and officials.”

“As we know our GDP in Turks and Caicos focuses a lot on tourism… so we want to make sure we have the right talent and excitement to be in this industry.”

The winemakers loved the personal setting and the opportunity to share knowledge with the curious crowd.

Tuck Beckstoffer, here for a second round, said “I was really overtaken by the kindness and generosity of the people here …we participate in several events like this every year and it’s an event like none I’ve been to…I feel like I’m home.

“It’s a very high end, sophisticated crowd and these people truly love wine and food… they ask the right questions.”

Fitting the event’s theme ‘Don’t stop the carnival,’ rhythmic Caribbean music, colourful masks and beads created a carnival atmosphere along with the surprise appearance of the Junkanoo band which led guests from the Grace Bay Club after the first leg of the event.

GOURMET SAFARI The Gourmet Safari followed on the evening of November 2, taking guests on a culinary journey to some of the finest restaurants in Providenciales.

Patrons began at the Grace Bay Club with a cocktail reception, then to Coyaba Restaurant for the first course.

Parallel 23 at The Regent Palms served the fish course while the entrée was prepared by Seven Stars, followed by desert and cigars at Stelle at the Gansevoort.

Proud that the annual event grew and evolved to this magnitude, co-chairman of the CFWF and operations manager of the Wine Cellar Anthony Garland said, “I’m seeing a dream come true.

“When Nikheel and I sat and chatted about this six years ago it was really with an idea to not only put Turks and Caicos on the map for food and wine but also to showcase the appreciation that people on the island have for good food and wine.

“To have our partners like Tuck and all the other winemakers is a testimony to what we can do and the product we have to offer.”

Advani noted that they “always keep this event at a boutique level for 60 odd people so the chefs can really go the extra mile”.

“With this amount of people you can also meet the winemakers and chefs and have one to one time with them,” he said.

“In most events today you don’t get that luxury and being a high end destination we wanted to make sure the event compliments the destination.”

Thrilled that the events were sold out for a second year, the organisers are already thinking of ways to expand.

Advani said, “This is a not for profit organisation and the money

FOOD AND WINE TASTING Day three allowed guests a great occasion to sample some delectable food prepared by local and international chefs paired with an amazing selection of international wines from the visiting winemakers.

Taste buds as well as brain cells tingled with delight as guests enjoyed the dishes along with lessons on paring wines with seafood, meat, cheese and chocolate.

Wesley Clerveaux, former chief conservation officer shared some interesting facts about seafood while guests enjoyed the tasty treats which paired perfectly with John Terlato’s chardonnays.

In another room, celebrity American chef Beau MacMillan wowed his crowd with some extraordinary meat dishes paired with ‘The Seventy Five Wine Company’ wines by Tuck Beckstoffer.

Renowned cheese connoisseur Scott Brown led the session on cheese with wine paring by Lisa and Scott Jenkins from Duck Pond Cellars while Chef Eric Vernice of Beach House conducted the gourmet chocolate sampling with wine paring from Heidi Barrett.

Guests were completely satisfied, one saying “It did not disappoint in any way, it was nothing less than delicious, the combinations were sinfully good and the tips from these professionals will help me to enjoy food and wine more.”

The event hosted at The Veranda was well organised and coordinated, with many first timers and persons returning saying they felt more in awe of the Turks and Caicos because of this fantastic event.

ISLAND STREET FOOD FAIR The festivities ended with the first island street food fair, allowing more local restaurants and the wider

community to join in the fun.

Garland said this new addition was mainly due to the awareness that “most of our events are limited because of the numbers that we can accommodate, the street fair is an opportunity to have more families involved”.

Set up under a large tent opposite Jai’s in Grace Bay, chefs from 14 local restaurants teased the crowd with samples of their specialities.

The carnival spirit continued with Caribbean sounds, food, drinks, face painting for the kids and entertainment from a Junkanoo band.

Cash prizes were presented to Garama Masala for best fish, Chinson’s for best island grill chicken and Pelican Bay for best ribs.

In the cook off competition chef Tiny of Grace Bay Club and chef Roger of Chinson’s went head to head vying for best barbecue ribs on the island.

After the chefs presented their dishes, the judges disclosed that selecting a winner was a difficult task since both chefs served up some very delicious ribs.

Eventually they ruled that even though chef Tiny’s ribs were flavourful down to the bones, chef’s Roger island style presentation and creativity made him the winner.

Chef Roger accredits his dish not only to his expertise saying, “I think between the down home roots of my guys and my ingenuity and experience overseas we kind of created something

that is quite unique.

“We’re a small local restaurant but we don’t feel small about food, we’re very passionate.”

To persons who love cooking he said, “Experiment a lot, don’t stop until it’s the best it can be and even then keep trying to improve.” (KH)

CARICOM countries congratulates Obama – Wants to build on relationship CARIBBEAN Community (CARICOM) countries Wednesday said they were looking forward to continued good relationship between the United States and the Caribbean following the re-election of President Barack Obama.

Obama, the first Black ever to occupy the White House, scored a convincing victory in Tuesday presidential election by winning more than 300 Electoral College as against 206 for his main challenger Mitt Romney of the Republican Party.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves said he had already sent off a congratulatory message to President Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden on their “overwhelming victory”.

Gonsalves described president Obama, who first won the presidential elections in 2008, as a “friend of St. Vincent and the Grenadines...and the Caribbean.

“We want to strengthen our links and throughout the region and certainly here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines there is a sense of joy at his very impressive election victory,” he said, adding “we are sure in his next four years as president of the United States that the bonds of friendship would be

President Obama had a high approval rating with CARICOM leaders in his first term.

strengthened”.

In his congratulatory message, Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said that he wanted Washington to re-direct its focus in the Caribbean to developmental issues. “”Clearly this was a keenly contested elections, one which was clearly divided as we all witnessed, but the people of the United States have spoken and they have decided in a very large fashion that President Obama is the person they would like to lead the United States for the next four years.

“The relationship between the United States and Dominica continues to be strong, based on mutual respect...we work very diligently on matters relating to regional security and we look

forward to advancing those efforts.

“Clearly, the US focus is on anti terrorism matters and they moved away from issues relating to development in the region. But I am hoping that the new term of President Obama there would be some kind of re-direction towards developmental issues,” Skerrit said.

He said that the election had also sent a message to the opposition bent on criticising without providing solutions.

“By simply saying we should spend more here and you should do more other there is not really the basis on which someone should elect you and I think what Obama has been doing for the United States in terms of addressing the matters of the economy ...recognises there is no quick fix...”

Sandy: Haiti appeals for international help after storm THE Haitian government has renewed calls for international emergency aid to help the country deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

There are fears of food shortages after the hurricane, which hit on 24 October, damaged many crops in southern Haiti.

Aid workers and officials are also on alert for an increase in cholera cases in the wake of widespread flooding.

More than 50 people were killed in Haiti, which is still struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake.

Thousands of people are still living in makeshift shelters more than two years on from the devastating quake.

The office of Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe made the renewed appeal for help on Sunday.

There is concern that unsanitary conditions could led to an increase in cholera cases.

More than 7,500 people have died in the cholera epidemic in Haiti since late 2010. Hundreds of new cases are still being registered every week.

Haiti was already suffering the world’s biggest cholera outbreak

CUBA CLEAN-UP Although Hurricane Sandy just clipped Haiti on its way northwards, its heavy rains and strong winds destroyed more than 70% of crops in the south of the country.

Food insecurity, particularly in this part of Haiti, was already a major concern.

In Cuba, where 11 people died and there was extensive damage to

crops, a huge clean-up is continuing.

Hundreds of electricians are working to restore power in the east of the country.

Cuban President Raul Castro, who has been visiting the region, has described the country’s second city, Santiago, as looking like a bomb site.

Aid has arrived from Russia, Venezuela and Bolivia, with more due from Ecuador.

Referendum aims to bring equal rights for women in the Bahamas FOREIGN Affairs and Immigration Minister Fred Mitchell announced plans of a referendum to grant Bahamian women the same rights as Bahamian men to pass citizenship on to their children.

Speaking in the House yesterday, Mr Mitchell said if passed, this will bring the country “in line” with other western societies and see the end of formal gender discrimination.

As it stands now, children born to a Bahamian woman and a foreign man outside of the country are not granted Bahamian citizenship and must apply like any other immigrant.

By comparison, children with a Bahamian father are automatically Bahamian citizens, regardless of the nationality of the mother.

“The government is committed to removing the constitutional anomaly which exists with regard to women and the ability to pass on their citizenship to their children,” Mr Mitchell said.

“The government proposes to amend those provisions in the constitution with regard to discrimination against women, so that it is clear that gender cannot be a reason to discriminate against an individual.”

This means Article 26 to the constitution and the preamble to Article 15 of the constitution have to be altered and the matter put to the country in a referendum, Mr Mitchell explained.

Article 26 makes it illegal to afford different treatment to others “wholly or mainly” because of “race, place of origin political opinions colour or creed.” The Article also states: “No

law shall make any provision which is discriminatory either of itself or in its effect.”

Article 15 is similar and explains every person in The Bahamas is “entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.”

“We trust that the proposed changes when they come will receive the unanimous consent of the House,” Mr Mitchell continued.

“This will bring The Bahamas in line with other western countries and remove one of the last vestiges of formal discrimination against women.”

In response to his contribution, FNM Deputy Leader and Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner rose to commend the government for taking steps to ensure gender equality but also questioned when Bahamians will see such a referendum.

“I’m sure there would have been a lot of flack at the UN last week with regards to these hindrances to the equality of women in The Bahamas,” she said. “Can you say to us what the deadline would be with regards to such a referendum?”

Mr Mitchell explained that there is a process involving the constitutional commission and a presentation to the government about the matter before it can been seen in the House and subsequently go to a referendum.

However, he said, Bahamians should see the referendum take place before the Christie administration leaves office in 2017.

“Once those formal steps are done then the matter will be presented to the House,” he said.

Teenage prisoners allegedly raped in Trinidad police station AN INVESTIGATION is reportedly underway by officers of the Port-of-Spain Division following allegations that one of their colleagues engaged in sexual activities with two teenagers while they were detained at the Central Police Station.

The two 18-year-olds were held last Friday after they were identified by robbery victims in the Port-of-Spain area.

The women, from the East Dry River and Laventille communities, are thought to be members of an all-female gang which has been robbing business houses and individuals in the capital.

Reports indicate that the officer, while on duty, allegedly removed the young women from the cells individually and took them to another area of the station where he had sex with them on two separate occasions.

When questioned by male

prisoners who had witnessed the officer removing them, the teenage prisoners are said to have claimed that they were raped by the officer.

A report was subsequently made to senior officers and a probe has been launched into the alleged incident involving a corporal with over 15 years service in the police force.

According to Trinidad’s Newsday newspaper, investigators have secured CCTV footage from the cell block area of the Central Police Station to verify specific information.

The CCTV footage reportedly clearly shows the officer removing the teenagers from the cells.

CCTV cameras have been installed at various police stations following the escape of prisoners, as well as to verify information and monitor activities inside cell blocks.

David Cameron and Angela Merkel are seeking common ground ahead of EU budget talks

Angela Merkel rejects UK and EU ‘divorce’ call ahead of talks GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she wants Britain to remain in the European Union, ahead of a crunch meeting with David Cameron.

She was reacting to a call by UKIP leader Nigel Farage for an “amicable divorce” between Brussels and Britain.

The PM says the EU budget should be frozen “at worst” but faces calls from Tory rebels and Labour to demand a cut.

Germany has indicated it is sympathetic to the UK’s arguments but says some increase is necessary.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Mrs Merkel in Number 10, Mr Cameron said: “We are both believers that European countries have to live within their means, as does the European Union and I know that we will discuss that issue tonight.”

Of the EU budget, he said: “At best it should be a cut, at worst a

freeze.”

Mr Cameron said: “I believe our membership of the European Union is important and that is the basis on which we will be having our discussions tonight” Mrs Merkel said the EU budget would “loom large” in the pair’s talks as Britain and Germany had shared interests as net contributors to the EU - and both had to reach a deal with other countries that “will stand up in the court of public opinion back home”.

She added: “We will not complete negotiations tonight but we want to do this in the spirit of partnership and friendship in order to focus our interests.”

She refused “to be drawn into discussion” of whether Britain should decide if it wanted to leave the EU as the bloc moved towards closer integration, as recently suggested

by Polish European commissioner Janusz Lewandowski.

Michigan man accused of abusing 400-pound bedridden wife until she rot to death

A Michigan man is accused of abusing his bedridden 400-pound wife and letting her rot in squalor until she died.

Hazmat crews found Yolanda Reese-Brooks, 40, on the brink of death and covered in her own waste at her home in Warren, Mich. last month. Emergency workers in protective gear rushed her to a hospital, where she died six days later, according to WDIV-TV in Detroit.

Her husband, Michael Dewayne Brooks, 37, had been her primary caretaker since a 2011 car accident left her immobile, police said. She suffered from a crushed pelvis and ruptured bladder.

Brooks was charged with seconddegree abuse of a vulnerable adult.

He told police he had left his wife in the filthy bed for at least eight days, according to the station.

Reese-Brooks’ four children, who lived in the home where their mother was found, are now staying with a

relative.

The home was reportedly uninhabitable — no beds or mattresses for the children and a dirty refrigerator filled with only spoiled meat.

Reese-Brooks died of morbid obesity and other unspecified injuries.

Brooks was released on bond and will appear in court Nov. 15.

US President Barack Obama has pledged “the best is yet to come”, after a decisive re-election victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

After a hard-fought campaign which highlighted America’s political divide, Mr Obama pledged, as he did four years ago, to work with his opponents.

Mr Romney echoed that call for unity as he graciously admitted defeat.

Voters also left the Democrats in charge of the Senate and Republicans leading the House of Representatives.

In the electoral college, the stateby-state tally that determines US presidential elections, Mr Obama has won 303 electoral votes to Mr Romney’s 206.

‘PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS’ America’s first black president sealed victory with a clean sweep of the most important swing states, including Ohio, Virginia and Colorado.

Mr Romney could only snatch Indiana and North Carolina from his rival’s 2008 grasp.

Thousands of Obama supporters hugged and cheered in the Chicago convention centre where he delivered his victory speech in the early hours of Wednesday.

“We have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come,” said Mr Obama, 51.

the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, Speaker John Boehner, with whom he bickered bitterly during his first term.

Barack Obama: “I have never been more hopeful”

He was returning to the White House “more determined, and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do”, he said.

Mr Obama pledged to work with Republican leaders in Congress to reduce the government’s budget deficit, fix the tax code and reform the immigration system.

He also offered to meet Mr Romney to discuss how they could work together.

The Republican admitted defeat with a brief speech shortly after midnight on Wednesday in Boston.

“This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation,” Mr Romney said.

The 65-year-old former Massachusetts governor urged politicians on both sides to “put the people before the politics”.

But Mr Obama’s second-term agenda will lie largely in the hands of

‘FAILURES OR EXCESSES’ Mr Boehner told a gathering of Republicans: “The American people want solutions - and tonight, they’ve responded by renewing our [Republican] majority.”

Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, said voters had not endorsed “the failures or excesses of the president’s first term”.

“They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington after two years of one-party control,” McConnell added.

Mr Obama will also have to contend with Mr Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan, who has confirmed he will remain in Congress as the Republican’s budget chairman.

The president faces his first challenge when Congress returns next week to begin dealing with the so-called fiscal cliff, a package of automatic tax rises and cuts to military and domestic spending.

Economists warn that the measure - set to be triggered in January unless lawmakers can find agreement could plunge the nation back into a recession.

Mr Obama was re-elected with the highest unemployment rate - at 7.9% - for any incumbent president since the US wartime leader Franklin Roosevelt.

Washington and Colorado legalise recreational marijuana – Maine and Maryland approve same sex marriage ALTERING the course of U.S social policy, Maine and Maryland became the first states to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote, while Washington state and Colorado set up a showdown with federal authorities by legalising recreational use of marijuana.

The outcomes for those ballot measures Tuesday were a milestone for persistent but often thwarted advocacy groups and activists who for decades have pressed the causes of gay rights and drug decriminalization.

“Today the state of Washington looked at 70 years of marijuana prohibition and said it’s time for a new approach,” said Alison Holcomb, manager of the campaign that won passage of Initiative 502 in Washington.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat who opposed legalization, was less

enthused. “Federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don’t break out the Cheetos or gold fish too quickly,” he said.

The results in Maine and Maryland broke a 32-state streak, dating to 1998, in which gay marriage had been rebuffed by every state that voted on it. They will become the

seventh and eighth states to allow same-sex couples to marry.

In another gay-rights victory, Minnesota voters defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would banned same-sex marriage in the state. Similar measures were approved in 30 other states, most recently in North Carolina in May.

Internationals capture 20th Provo Ryder Cup

THE International Team increased their tally of wins to 13 when they defeated the North American Team 21-18 in the 20th annual Provo Ryder Cup which was played last weekend at the Provo Golf Course.

The two-day event saw 52 golfers compete in the match play format.

Will Shoreman and Louis Dickenson captained their comeback win by making up a first day 8-5 deficit by running off eight consecutive single men’s points in the middle of Sunday’s play. The final day started very promising for the North American Team, captained by Fraser Dods and Terry Erskine, as their ladies extended the first day lead to five full points before the International

Team came back with a flurry by winning 14 of the 20 remaining men’s singles matches to close out the victory.

All the captains did a great job in creating a fun, but competitive atmosphere over the well maintained Provo Golf Club which now features beautiful, new Tiff Eagle putting greens on the first nine. The course played very challenging in the after winds of Sandy which brought out the best match play golf from both sides.

Hugh G. O’Neill & Co. continued their long time sponsorship of the International Team, while Hugh also generously sponsored the North American Team under the banner of “Caribbean Snow Removal, VAT

Exempt”.

A release from the club stated that the Ryder Cup is eagerly awaited each year as it is the favourite annual members’ event at the Provo Golf

Club.

This year saw a well attended, spirited Wednesday Night Pairings Party where the captains set the stage for all 39 matches over the weekend.

Assistant Captains, Dickenson and Erskine have already been heard putting their attention towards next year’s renewal as they take over the reins in 2013.

Sailrock U-14 Boys’ League:

Grasshoppers slightly ahead The Sailrock U-14 Boys’ League looks set to go down the wire although the Grasshoppers are currently in the driving seat, three points ahead of the Eagles courtesy of two back –to-back wins last weekend.

The Grasshoppers brushed aside the Eagles 4-1 before demolishing the Golden Retrievers 6-1. Their goals came from Wilkins Sylvain (3 and 2), Marvin Joseph (1 and 1) Mackenson Cadet (1 and 1) and Jeff Beljour. Ericson Homme scored for the Eagles and Watson Alphonse for the Golden Retrievers.

In the other games the Tigers

managed a hard fought win over the Retrievers with goals from Rodrigo Vasquez and Tariq Germeil whilst Idlin Beloni gave the Retrievers some hope of salvaging a point with a well taken goal. The Tigers then went on to beat the Eagles with goals from Vasquez, Kenley George, Ras Diamond and Germeil. Jackson Pierre put in another impressive display for the Eagles with two goals, but it was not enough on the day.

As usual there were many strong individual performances, but the pick of the bunch were: Vasquez for the Tigers and Pierre for the Eagles.

TCI’s fastest sprinter Delano Williams met the world’s fastest sprinter Usain Bolt during a stop at the Racers Track Club in Jamaica. Bolt and another world rated performer, Yohan Blake, train at the club. Williams has indicated an interest in joining the club.

The International Team won their 13th title, six more than their North American counterparts.

Sailrock U-15 Girls’ League:

Titans closing in on title

THE Sailrock U-15 Girls’ League champions could well be the Titans who remain at the top of the standings with only two weeks of games remaining.

Another impressive run of results saw them stretch their lead over their nearest rivals, the Striking Cheetahs.

A narrow 1-0 victory over the Green Dragons courtesy of Rhian Davies’ lone goal was followed up by a more comfortable 2-0 win against the Purple Panthers, the goals coming from Evnisha Saintverlu and Shinaydine Pluviose. In their final match they had to come from behind to force a 1-1 draw with the Yellow Dragons after Yarielca De La Cruz had given them the lead. Some strong

defending from Briandie Brooks had kept the Jaguars in the lead until the final two minutes when Pluviose scored from long range.

The Jaguars managed to move off the bottom of the table owing to a 2-2 draw with the Panthers and a 2-0 win against the Red Devils. De la Cruz scored twice in both games to round off an impressive individual performance and her sister Yarileny as well as Jachelle Gardiner found the back of the net for the Panthers.

In the remaining games the Striking Cheetahs managed to keep close to the Titans with wins against the Red Devils (3-2) and the Purple Panthers (1-0) before losing to the

Green Dragons (1-0) who scored through Lashauna Thompson. Jenny Fluerenvil scored all four goals on the day for the Cheetahs to put her on top of the goal-scorers’ list alongside Yarielca De La Cruz on seven goals apiece. In the final game of the day the Red Devils tied 2-2 with the Green Dragons. Makayla Ellis scored both goals for the Dragons whilst Guerline Hall was on the score-sheet for the Devils, adding to the two goals she scored earlier in the day against the Cheetahs.

MVP for the day was shared between Guerline Hall and Darinique Coackley of the Red Devils for their hard work and commitment.
