by KENVILLE HORNE Dwaine Sandy on his release from police custody.

THE FATE OF DWAINE SANDY hangs in the balance as the drama intensifies around his alleged involvement in a robbery and shooting incident here.

Sandy, who was detained on Monday 17th June by police for questioning in connection with a robbery of a postal clerk and the shooting of a police officer on Thursday 13th June, was released on Wednesday 19th June.

However, Grant Connell, Sandy’s lawyer, confirmed that his client was ‘taken up’ by members of the Rapid Response Unit, at his home in Brighton, between 2:30 and 3:00 am, on Thursday 20th June.

According to Connell, the police explained that Sandy was re-arrested for “safe keeping,” the explanation coming some two or so hours after Sandy’s re-arrest.

Connell confirmed that he had experienced difficulty ascertaining where the police had taken his client, saying, “It was around 5:00 am when I eventually discovered him at the holding area of the CID.” Connell questioned the explanation of safe keeping, asking, “Safe keeping from what, from whom? From against himself?”

The defence lawyer is adamant that the police, who owe it to the society, to whom his client has declared his innocence, to respect the due process of the law, should charge his client.

“If there is evidence, charge him. What do they (police) expect? That I would advise my client to declare he is guilty? I would be doing a disservice to my profession and my client if I did,” Connell posited.

And Connell is concerned that the issue of available evidence may be a disconcerting one for the police.

“I have requested the evidence the police say they have, but none has been forthcoming either since his original arrest or his subsequent re-arrest.

“I have assisted the system by bringing my client to you (police). My client says he is innocent, he has even told the society that. What is the problem? If you have the evidence share it, charge my client and let the law take its course,” Connell added.

“The scales of justice must be respected,” he asserted.

one of his lowest performances since in Grade Six. He described his feelings on exam day as “scared”, and felt that he would place in the top ten, as the competition was not just among his school mates, but the whole country.

The student, who has been described by his teacher as “very playful, but will not rest if he does not grasp a concept, only to resort to his playful ways when he does,” gave THE VINCENTIAN an idea of the work he put in to secure his achievement.

He said that he went to Math and English lessons.

At home, his mom helped him with General Paper and English, while his dad helped with Math. He had to cut down on time on the computer to get all this work done, and explained that for

every two hours of study time, he was allowed time on the computer. He believes that the sacrifice was worth it, because if one insists on choosing other things over the work to be done, he/she will get a “bad result and not get the satisfaction that comes from hard work.”

Gian-Paul has not only been concentrating on the academics. He is a 2d Ku Brown Belt Karateka with the Shotokan Karate Club, and he hopes to graduate to 1st Ku after his Grading Session next month. This is the level just under Black Belt. He has also been an avid footballer for Green House at school, and a cricketer.

Gian-Paul plans to attend the St. Vincent Grammar School, and also promises to be more serious and hardworking, as there will be more subjects to be dealt with.

His favourite subject area is Science, and he is thinking about a career in that field.

Gian Paul is the son of Kerry Baker and Nicole Bonadie-Baker.

Areanna: ‘Surprised I was not first’

by GLORIAH… “I WAS NOT SURPRISED that I came second. I was very surprised that I did not come first!”

Those were candid words of the outspoken eleven year old, Areanna St. Luce of the Calliaqua Anglican School, who placed 1st for girls and second overall in this year’s Common Entrance.

Areanna may well have been on the right track, as her overall total was only separated from the first place total by a mere 0.27%. Her scores were: Math — 98.33%; English — 93.18%; and General Paper — 93.33%.

The young lady, who will head for the Girls’ High School where her older sister is already enrolled, is the daughter of Mr. Dunstan St. Luce, Math teacher at the St. Clair Dacon Secondary School, and Mrs. Marilyn St. Luce, teacher at the Calliaqua Anglican School.

She felt that her result was well deserved, as she really put in quite a great deal of extra work. “My mom gave me extra work,” she said, “and Ms. McLean gave extra lessons on Sundays and public holidays; so on Fisherman’s Day, while all the celebrations were going on at the park, I was at school working.”

She also noted that she had to give up her favourite pastime, the computer, but quipped, “It was worth it!”

News 3 Lawyer calls for thorough investigations

by HAYDN HUGGINS ATTORNEY KAY BACCHUS-BROWNE is calling on the police to conduct a proper and thorough investigation into the 2009 murder of Agassi Fraser, an 18-year-old student of the St. Vincent Community College, at the time of his death.

Bacchus-Browne, who conducted the case for the defence, made the call last Friday, June 14, after Justice Frederick Bruce-Lyle had on Thursday, June 13, almost two weeks after the commencement of the matter, discharged the jury and ordered a retrial for the accused Odinga Foster.

Foster, a former loans officer at the Kingstown Cooperative Credit Union (KCCU), is charged with the kidnapping and murder of, and conspiracy to kidnap, Agassi Fraser,

his cousin.

“I am calling on the police to properly and thoroughly investigate this matter. My client is innocent,” Bacchus-Browne declared during an interview with THE VINCENTIAN. The retrial was ordered, in the interest of justice, based on the findings of an inquiry into a report that a relative of one of the jurors on the panel had a close association with Agassi’s family.

During cross-examination on June 6, Bacchus-Browne had accused star witness Brando Lockhart of murdering Agassi. She had suggested that after Lockhart was taken into custody in connection with Agassi’s death and the police were going to charge him (Lockhart), he decided ‘to sink’ Odinga.

However, while Lockhart had

testified that he assisted Odinga, whom he referred to as his best friend, with the dumping of an unknown body sometime in September 2009, he denied that he was involved in the kidnapping and murder of Agassi. In fact, he said he never met Agassi nor knew the identity of the body until he heard of it on the news.

Lockhart also said under crossexamination that he did not report the matter to the police because Odinga was his friend and he (Lockhart) was helping him. He said the first time he spoke to the police was when they took him into custody about a year after the body was found.

A voirdire (trial within a trial) was embarked upon last week Wednesday, June 12, at Bacchus-Browne’s request, to deal with certain aspects of the

Following the testimony of one prosecution witness, the voirdire was adjourned to the following day, after Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Colin John indicated that he needed time to research certain aspects of the law. He was unable to tell the court what his research revealed, as the substantive matter had to be aborted after the dramatic development involving one of the jurors surfaced.

Wanted man released then re-arrested described it as “an intentional assassination of Initial arrest my client’s character.

She recalled hearing about the robbery of the postal worker and the shooting of the police officer on the news on the day of the incidents.

She recalled that Dwaine called the day after to ask, ‘What kind a thing they calling up my name in St. Vincent with?”

A distraught Margret Sandy, an employee of a furniture store in Kingstown, related that Friday 14th June a group of RRU officers came to her house and started pointing guns in her face, saying, “ ‘Tell me way yo son dey’. I tell them me son na dey home.”

The police visited the home again and the woman challenged that the police had no warrant when they entered her premises.

She expressed sadness on seeing posters of her son labeled ‘Wanted’, and declared her son’s innocence, citing that he was in Grenada since May of this year.

‘If Dwaine did do a ting like that, he would ah hide way,” she suggested.

Interestingly, a photograph uploaded on Dwaine Sandy’s facebook page and dated Thursday, 13th June, at 9:49 pm, showed Sandy posing in front of a Grenadian flag.

During the robbery on Thursday 13th, a female postal worker was relieved of some EC$100,000 , while Police officer Julanie Jack was shot three times when he intervened to assist the postal worker.

THE VINCENTIAN was informed, at press time, that Jack remains warded in critical condition at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital.

Prisoner jailed for escaping lawful custody

by HAYDN HUGGINS A PRISONER WHO ESCAPED lawful custody at the High Court, February 19, 2010, was sentenced to two years imprisonment on Wednesday after changing his plea from not guilty to guilty.

Wilford Woodley, 27, of Green Hill, admitted to the offence after Chief Magistrate Sonya Young overruled his attorney Ronald Marks’ objection to a caution statement Woodley had given to the police being admitted in evidence.

Marks had made his objection last week Tuesday, June 11, on the grounds that the statement was not given voluntarily. As a result, a voirdire (trial within a trial) was conducted, during which evidence was heard from the investigator Constable Adrian Forde, who took the statement

and signed as recording officer; Constable Dwight James, who signed as the person who witnessed the statement, and the accused.

In his written submissions, Marks argued that the statement was taken after 48 hours had passed, and that no Justice of the Peace was present.

Marks also submitted that Woodley was deprived of proper nourishment while in custody at the Central Police Station.

The voirdire During the voirdire, Constable Forde had admitted that the statement was taken 48 hours after Woodley was taken into custody, January 28, 2013; that no Justice of the Peace was present, but that the statement was signed by PC James who was not involved in the

A passive escape In mitigation, Marks told the court that, from all the evidence presented, it was a passive escape. He noted there was no violence or breaking of anywhere on the part of the accused.

Marks said Woodley’s escape resulted from “monumental carelessness” on the part of the prison officer guarding the prisoners.

Noting that his client was unshackled, Marks said, “He simply just walked out of court under the watch of the prison officer.”

Marks also contended that on that

Looking into Dr. RodneyÊs death THIRTY-THREE YEARS after the sordid act, the government of Guyana has moved to establish an international commission of inquiry to examine the circumstances surrounding the assassination of the internationally acclaimed historian and leader of the Working Peoples Alliance (WPA), Dr. Walter Rodney.

Dr. Walter Rodney was killed on June 13, 1980, when he attempted to activate a walkie-talkie radio, which exploded in his lap. His death came one month after he returned from the independence celebrations in Zimbabwe, at which he was an honoured guest.

Donald Rodney, Walter’s brother, was also injured in the blast. He told authorities that Gregory Smith, a sergeant in the Guyana Defence Force, had given Walter the bomb, contained in the walkie talkie, that killed him.

Smith is said to have fled Guyana for French Guiana after the killing.

He died in that country in 2002.

Now, 33 years hence, the news is that Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon, last week Thursday, announced in his postCabinet briefing, that his government has authorised the international commission of inquiry.

“We need to have the matter dealt

with comprehensively and closure provided in this matter,” Dr. Luncheon is reported as having said.

Dr. Luncheon is said to have referred to previous inquiries into Dr. Rodney’s death as “unsuccessful and inconclusive in determining key reasons such as cause, motive and agents responsible,” and noted specifically that a 2005 “parliamentary inspired international commission failed to address many outstanding issues.”

And as far as the Terms of Reference (TORs) of the latest international commission of inquiry is concerned, Dr. Luncheon assured that they will not be as contentious as that This is Dr. Walter Rodney’s seminal of others, and promised work. that contributions (to the TORs)will be made by family members of the deceased, former political allies in the PPP (Peoples Progressive Party), WPA and his colleagues internationally.

There has been mixed reactions, in Guyana, to the announcement of the move to establish the commission.

Dr. Walter Rodney was assassinated at the height of his political career.

Kenton Kirby honoured KENTON KIRBY, a former Chief Reporter with THE VINCENTIAN, and current Editor in Chief of Caribbean Life, will be honored during a ceremony to commemorate Guyana’s 47th Independence Anniversary.

The ceremony is scheduled for today, Friday, June 21, in the Rotunda of Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Patricia Jordan Langford, president of the Guyana Tri-State Alliance, is expected to present Kirby with a special Independence Award, for his exceptional contribution in the field of journalism which is duly noted in the pages of the Caribbean Life, where he has served for more than 20 years .

Kirby will also receive a Proclamation for his commitment to excellence and dedication to highlighting the contribution of expatriates in the community.

A former public information specialist

who earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications from the University of the West Indies, and Master’s Degree in Journalism from the International Institute for Journalism in Berlin, Kirby has received numerous accolades from organizations in the Diaspora. He is hailed as one of the most generous professionals in the business.

Many Vincentians will also remember Kirby as a leading trumpeter with some of the top local bands of the 1970s and early 1980s.

The ceremony that is being held under the patronage of the Hon. Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough president, and the Hon.

THE FIRST CONCRETE STEP in refleeting LIAT has been taken.

News from St. John’s, Antigua, headquarters of LIAT, last week, indicated that the airline has taken possession of an ATR 72-600 aircraft.

The aircraft, which seats 68 passengers, is the first of eight ATR 72-600 and four ATR 42-600, which seats 48 passengers, that will be added to the LIAT fleet.

‘The introduction of these brand new ATR-600s in LIAT’s current fleet of 14 aircraft is a part of the airline’s restructuring plans aiming at fleet modernization and network improvements. By progressively replacing its current fleet of former turboprop aircraft with the modern and fuel efficient ATRs, the airline will significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs, gain further in profitability, and offer more comfort to its passengers due to its enhanced seats design,” the airline said in a statement released last week.

The airline, which serves 21 destinations across the region, has earmarked a sum of US$100 million for its re-fleeting exercise. This amount is expected to be raised partly, through a loan of up to US$7 million from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).

According to LIAT Chief Executive Officer Ian Brunton, the ATR “is the most-recently certified turboprop aircraft on the market, and we are proud to start our operations with such a modern, successful and wellreputed aircraft,” and he promised, with the new acquisitions, that “our customers will enjoy more efficiency and better travel experience.”

In December 2012, LIAT unveiled a business plan that is expected to set the airline on a path of reversing a EC$43 million loss it declared for 2011. The projection is that the airline will turnover a profit of 2% in 2013.

Editorial ‘Crab in a barrel mentality’ YEAR IN, YEAR out, as the Common Entrance results hit the street, there are as many uplifting comments as there are unbecoming comments.

At no other time of the year, is there a greater degree of ‘pulling down talk’; and some persons believe that, since the ‘pulling down talk’ comes from the adults/parents, it destroys the innocence of the children; children who otherwise would simply like to ‘just get along’.

No wonder, therefore, that one observer, (he seemed not to have had a ‘vested’ interest in the exams) was heard to remark that this, the Common Entrance season, is a season when ‘the crab in the barrel mentality’ takes full bloom.

Take what has been thrown up about this year’s top CE performer. Why would anyone want to question the young man’s ability, either by insinuation or direct comment, and refer to his parental link to this country’s Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, to imply/say that there was some degree of ‘hanky panky’ involved in computing the results?

Let’s shorten the reference to ‘crab mentality’. The term is used to refer to a kind of selfish, short-sighted thinking that runs along the lines, “He only get it because of who he is.”

That is why, by extension, the term, ‘crab mentality’ is also used to describe those persons who pull down others, denigrating them rather than uplifting them and allowing them to get on with the pursuit of their dreams.

No one should want to be accused of having a ‘crab mentality,’ for this type of mentality is a poor reflection of someone’s personality.

When someone has a ‘crab mentality’, it means that he or she is unwilling to allow someone to get out of a situation or to get ahead; that he or she is not prepared to accept a person for what and who he/she is, preferring to paint a landscape of ‘discoloration’ on that person’s record of success.

Take for example a Vincentian in the US who decides to pursue higher education towards securing a good career. How often have friends, and even family, taken to ridiculing that person, discouraging him by imputing that he ‘wants to be a big shot’.

The sickening thing is that the ‘crab mentality’ has found nurturing at all levels of life, like at the work/office environment? The ‘crab mentality’ can be devastating, as coworkers snipe at each other to bring each other down, rather than congratulating someone who earns a promotion.

All of this speaks to a thinking that is reflective of the saying, ‘We all like to see our friends get ahead, but not too far ahead’. If that is how friends are viewed, God help us when we apply the same thought pattern to those we consider our ‘enemies’.

It is not that you did something bad why others necessarily pull you down; it is just the way it is, or so we convince ourselves and accept it as ‘part of the culture’. But it ought not to be the case.

Fortunately, people who learn to recognize this ‘crab mentality’ in themselves can often find ways of counteracting it.

Those people are the ones who recognize that spending energy pulling someone down rather that lifting themselves up, means that they will remain there for all eternity.

Let’s face it: People are constantly put down, ridiculed and publicly humiliated until their spirit breaks, leaving them dejected and often broken. The very nature of our politics reflects this attitude.

Why can’t it be that, instead of ‘pulling the person down’, we single out an over-achiever for encouragement and promotion?

Why can’t we see that person, regardless of from whom he is parented, as a national asset?

A ‘crab mentality’ is a dangerous and deadly attitude. It is not an attitude of which we should be proud, nor is it one we should fuel. And who knows, maybe the perpetuation of the attitude is as much to blame as our politics and economics, for our underdevelopment.

We will be held accountable, in the long run, for our denigration of our fellowmen; held accountable for the missed opportunities and destroyed hopes if we don’t shed the ‘crab on our backs’.

I am not a crab, are you?

Free up the (Villa) Beach SYLVESTER GONSALVES-DE FREITAS, a Trinidadian Portuguese, more than any other person, drew praise for developing bungalows on beaches during the early 1940s and 1950s.

There were, for instance, the Lower Edinboro beach houses, the Harbour Club Beach Hotel, the India Bay and Villa Beach complexes.

As a teenager in the 1950s, I was once invited to a beach picnic at Indian Bay. That was the signal for the New Montrose gang, of which I had been a member, to borrow, as we usually did, the row-boat of R.M Anderson at Edinboro and row to Indian Bay. Instead of being greeted by Syl’s own daughter and her friend, my wife-to-be, we had to confront Syl himself. Our presence was challenged. He simply put his foot on a rock and told us we could venture no further.

Luckily, the girls saw our predicament, and came to meet us.

The point I am trying to make is that “Wire”, Syl’s usual alias, was lord and master of the beaches. We had not trespassed on any through-roads. We had entered the beach by boat, yet were stopped in our tracks! No wonder Syl’s cross on a rock under which he was buried, still dominates the landscape and seascape at Indian Bay! Incidentally, Syl was elected representative of the Grenadines people in the early 1940s!

Similarly, when I was younger, while walking at Villa I was attracted by the Aquatic Club building which had been erected by Syl. Mr. Hilary Da Silva, a “Portuguese” member of the club, intercepted my approach to the beach and told me that I was off limits.

In fact, the Aquatic Club was where the island’s moneyed interest relaxed: the captains of industry; the Plantocracy and the top of the bureaucracy. To be a member, you had to be white, near white, pass-for-white, or a lighter shade of Grey.

Like its Kingstown cousin, the Kingstown Club, it was all male, and taxi-drivers couldn’t enter, but were provided with a window from which they could be served a beverage.

In 1951, something “happened” at the club as a result of an altercation between Mr. Vivian Hadley, social welfare officer, and Mr. Allan Gunn, president of the club. Mr. Hadley was peeved during the exchanges, and declared that he was resigning from the club whereupon Mr. Gunn interposed that he could leave now, carrying along “the nigger child” that he brings. In anger, Mr. Hadley floored Mr. Gunn with an upper -cut!

The matter ended in Court, where Mr. Hadley got the better of the case. His Lawyer was Milton Cato. The little nigger boy was Tony Hadley who had been adopted from his natural mother, a Grenadian Bella Emmanuel, the Hadley’s maidservant. It should be noted that in those days, “the “nigger child” played no part in the Court’s deliberations.

It so happened that Mr. Gunn’s first son, Richard, married Flora Richardson, a most charming Carnival Queen, whom he met in his capacity as president of the Jaycees who in

those days ran the Carnival.

Flora is now associated with the management of the Beachcombers Hotel, of which she has made a great success. In her enthusiasm, she has overreached herself in enclosing as part of her property beach lands which had been left as “bathing rights” to the public at large.

At least one-half of the disputed land was accepted by Beachcombers not to be their own, for they had sought permission of neighbouring owners to enclose it for the noble purpose of saving the growth and flowering of a beautiful Banyan tree, which nontheless has fallen out of its root.

The long and short of the matter is that the protected tree has died a natural death, but the public is still barred off from land which properly belongs to them, and is solely needed to provide space, perhaps for parking. We appeal to Beachcombers to rectify the boundaries and let our people feel free to enjoy the beach as a recreational facility.

Years ago, a Barbadian surveyor of the Villa Beach region had supplied maps clearly demarking through- roads to the beach and area for “bathing rights”. Older folk seem to remember a through-road between and betwixt Beachcombers and Sunset Shores, which has disappeared into thin air! That Surveyor was Mr. Fitz-Herbert Richardson, the father of Mrs. Flora Gunn!

It appears too that the owners of Paradise Inn Beach Hotel also cast the fencing wall onto the beach-lands, causing unnecessary expenditure by Government of a board walk with limited life to accommodate bathers.

Readers are referred to a picture of Villa Beach at the time of Hurricane Janet (1955), courtesy M. Ken Punnett’s private collection, and judge for themselves. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the picture for reproduction here.

The lack of respect shown to the general public, which is often barred from enjoying our natural and national assets, is shameful. I only deal with that part at Villa where I live, bearing in mind that charity begins at home.

But the problem is widespread : Canash, Buccament, Mount Wynne, section of the Grenadines, etc .

At this time of Carnival, it is suspected that many returning Vincentians, Caribbean revellers and tourists in general, who wish a dip in the sea, are frustrated by our unwritten policy on beach lands. Perhaps more than ever, there is need for sponsorship of a national conversation on this vexed theme. Either as Bajan Calypsonian “Gabby” asserts, “the beach belong to we”, if not,- we do as Vincentian kaisonan “Scorcher” advises, “Fork up all dem beaches, Fork dem up!”

ULP education revolution is a shambles

The pass mark for each paper in the Common Entrance Examination is 33.3%, yet still 52.89% of males failed, i.e. 640 males of the 1210 males who wrote the 2013 Common Entrance Examinations failed. This shows that the ULP education revolution is shambles.

It is ridiculous that you can fail two-thirds of an exam and still get a pass under the education system of the incompetent ULP regime.

PM Gonsalves and Minister of Education Girlyn Miguel should throw in the towel and resign, as the ULP education revolution is a shambles.

Under-achieving in education by males is a major catalyst for serious crime and criminality in SVG. Under a Green Government, education will be free from preschool to university, with annual expenditure of over $500 million on education.

Ivan O’Neal BSc (Hons), MSc, MBA Leader and co-founder SVG Green Party

* Why are people asking who is going to succeed Dr. Ralph Gonsalves as leader of the ULP? Is there something in the mix that some of us don’t know about? * What percentage of those laptop computers is still in use by our school children? * How many trade unions here have been submitting annual accounts to the Registry? Is there a trade union that has not done so since 1991? * If some consumers have their electricity supply disconnected because they can’t pay their bills regularly, how are they going to be able to pay a security deposit if and when they find the money to pay off what they owe? * How much is the CDC earning from allowing those private promoters use of the Park during the carnival season?

CARICOM, more than a LIAT issue UNDERSTAND that I am fully behind our Prime Minister in his fight to have the government of Trinidad and Tobago address the matter of that unfair (oil) subsidy to Caribbean Airlines, that makes it harder for LIAT to compete. We have invested much in LIAT, and it is in our interest to make sure that ‘LIAT stays in the SKIES’. This is not to say that we have to overlook the sometimes inefficient services that LIAT provides, especially to Vincentians.

However, while the LIAT issue is important as far as the relationship with T&T is concerned, there is an even bigger issue. The balance of trade between T&T and SVG surely swings in favour of that twin island republic, and has been so for some time

now. I can’t help but notice the large amounts of Trinidadian goods that arrive in this state every Friday/Saturday. I am not too certain that we are exporting as much as we used to, to that CARICOM territory.

That is why we need to let T&T know that we deserve some ‘give back’.

Even Jamaica is now registering concern about their balance of trade with T&T. I thought that CARCOM was all about helping one another, but it seems it is a case of helping oneself at the expense of another.

So while we bicker about political union, let us not forget that the increasing our exports to real benefit from CARICOM countries.

CARCOM still lies in what prospects there are Paul for us in terms of

Mr. CummingsÊ chair Mr. Daniel Cummings, the MP for West Kingstown, made a simple request for a change of chair provided for use in the House of Assembly. The request was made on purely medical grounds, as I see it.

From what I understand, Mr. Cummings’ request was(is) for a chair that will offer support for his lower back, to which he suffered an injury during an incident in the House.

The Speaker’s response and the ensuing ridicule from the Government side to Mr. Cummings’ request are, to say the least, childish. Maybe this is the Speaker’s way of getting back at Mr. Cummings for his (Cummings’) sharp attacks against the him for

what is perceived as his partiality.

How much is it going to cost the Parliament to have the chair provided for Mr. Cummings? Our taxes have been spent on far worse, like paying for all these consultants and this and that overseas trip for Ministers of Government, where very often they mix much pleasure with official duties.

I say that Mr. Cummings’ request should be met with the only honourable response: Get him a chair that is more comfortable, given his medical situation.

And by the way, this comes from a supporter of the ULP. Red Man

Thanks to our blood donors I WAS MOVED by the coverage given in each of our newspapers to those persons who have been regular blood donors.

Each of them, and those not mentioned, deserve our everlasting thanks, for by giving generously of their blood, they are doing an amazing thing.

Without blood donors, many patients simply would not be alive today.

All blood donors deserve a big thank you.

I read, Mr. Editor, that a survey conducted

by WHO revealed that 96% of people rely on the other 4% to give blood, and that just three teaspoons of blood can save the life of a premature baby. This is amazing.

Blood donations benefit not just the person receiving the blood, but also the donor.

Like one of our donors said, blood donors get health check-ups done free. In addition, I understand that: ‘giving blood lowers the risk of heart diseases, as it off loads the excess iron in the blood stream; too much iron may actually damage the heart circulatory system and thereby reducing the heart attack to one-third.

Donating blood stimulates the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells and refreshes the system.’

Again, I want to thank all blood donors for their selfless act. When we

talk about heroes, people who give service beyond the call of duty, let’s remember our blood donors.

Come home and invest OF LATE, Mr. Editor, there has been much coverage of events in the Diaspora, especially in New York. It seems to be, though, that all these consultations with the Diaspora, have been initiated by the Government which, in itself is not a bad or wrong thing. What is bad or wrong is when those consultations serve the agenda of the party in power.

Tell me, after all this amount of time and money, how many Vincentians living abroad have invested directly in the economy, instead of taking the safe route and buying things like shares? How

many of them (I must leave Mr. Allan Smith out of this) have come back and invested in businesses that have created employment for persons here?

Instead, we see more large corporations from other Caribbean islands and persons from the Middle East and the Far East, coming here and flooding the retail markets.

It is time the Diaspora stop looking at what they send home — by MoneyGram, Western Union and barrels, and put their money where it can matter most.

More stupidity by the opposition NDP The issue Last week, on the NDP radio station, Nice Radio, there was a display of recklessness and stupidity by two sitting members of the NDP, and a member of their executive. That moment of insanity and total lack of sensitivity has been the talk of the town, on Facebook and on talk show radio. It is painful for the column to discuss this matter, but it is sufficiently important to bring to the public.

In the studios of Nice Radio at the time, were the leader of the NDP, Arnhim Eustace; the member for Central Kingstown St. Clair Leacock; and the Public Relations Officer of the NDP, Ernesto Cooke.

The caller, clearly someone from the Diaspora, had this to say: “…But Mr. Leacock, I told my mother, a strong ULP supporter, I told her, I said the next election and you vote for ULP, you will not be getting a cent from me. I told her that. I love my mother dearly; I send money for her every month….. I told her, Mama… if you continue voting for the ULP, you will get nothing from me”.

NDP not interested in unity It is issues like these which highlight the fact that the NDP is not interested in uniting the nation, and moving the country forward. Let us not forget the response of Arnhim Eustace to the call from Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves and the ULP for “Together Now”. Let us not forget the words of St. Clair Leacock to Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves “I am not your friend”.

Let us not forget the response of the leader of the NDP when Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves offered to halt the proceedings in two defamation cases against two members of the Opposition. Can anyone really believe the NDP is interested in moving the country forward? Can anyone believe that the NDP is interested in national unity, after they were mainly responsible for dividing the country?

No guidance The ULP continues work All through the course of the call, the three NDP officials showed no inclination to correct or even reprimand the caller for his comments. There was a chorus of “Yea” and “I hear you” coming from Arnhim Eustace and St. Clair Leacock. In fairness to Ernesto Cooke, he was fairly silent on this issue.

But here we have two leading members of the NDP, giving tacit approval to a Vincentian from the Diaspora, to cut off all aid to his mother, if she supported the ULP, in the next general election. And so the NDP is willing to let an elderly Vincentian woman lose her financial support, all because of political power.

And they claim that they are the party of the poor!

The NDP officials should have corrected the caller, and urged him not to let politics come between him and his mother. That they did not do so, speaks further to the character of the leaders of the NDP. Here is the leader of a mass political party, who wants political power, listening to a caller who is threatening to disenfranchise (abandon or bribe) his mother, all for political reasons, and Mr. Eustace says nothing. Yet, it is he who continues to claim that things are hard in this country, especially for poor people.

When we say that ULP supporters will suffer discrimination if the NDP wins the next election, we were not joking. There can’t be any good coming out of a political party, when its leadership encourages Vincentians to starve their relatives, their mothers and their fathers, all in the interest of gaining political power.

In fact, it can be construed that the caller was offering an inducement to his mother, not to vote for the ULP in the next election. This must be regarded as a bribe, and if it is, then the NDP must be regarded as an accessory to this action.

Meanwhile the ULP, superbly led

by Comrade Ralph, continues its work in government. Our Prime Minister goes to Rome to receive an important award from the FAO, related to the millennium development goals and the targets set by the world food summit.

Construction work on the international airport project at Argyle is in the full-speed-ahead mode, as the government cleared the way in parliament for some EC$208 million to be transferred to the IADC. The strategy of turning dead capital into live capital will continue as the government prepares to sell lands in the Central Leeward constituency for ten cents per square foot, to the poor and the working class. A number of projects are getting ready to take off, including the construction work in the health sector under the EDF 10 programme.

There is work to be done in the Congo Valley and the Basin Hole area to repair damage caused by heavy rainfall in 2011. There is work to be done on the Leeward Highway later in the year, and the Ministry of Agriculture is poised to institute the Banana Accompanying Measures project.

Above all, the government has paid salaries on time, including those of the opposition, a total of 146 salary payments since March 2001. We are holding our own in the midst of a global and financial crisis that is showing very little sign of abatement.

We are thankful that we have a leader with vision at this time to take us through the current crisis.

Let the NDP Ralph haters and propagandists continue their foolish anti-working class work. The ULP will not be distracted, and will remain resolute in moving the country forward, for the good of all Vincentians.

Information Technology During the 2010 general elections, the NDP presented an impressive and forward looking plan for Information Technology (IT), to the electorate of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The theme for IT was, ‘Creating the infrastructure to encourage creativity and innovation in technology’. The NDP is committed to a knowledge based economy in an effort to create jobs; therefore, we intend to place great emphasis in this area, particularly to tackle youth unemployment.

The NDP recognises that internetbased businesses are the future. For that reason, this is not just about Information Technology but also a commitment and a plan for transforming our economy.

Throughout the world, technology has become ubiquitous. It is not only technology businesses that use technology, but even traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ industries have adopted technology to expand their marketing and increase efficiency.

This is a call to all Vincentians: The world has changed, and so must we.

Furthermore, the idea is to attract individuals in technology from the world over, to live and operate their businesses from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. They will be made to offer education in IT with a view to increasing the capacity of youngsters interested in IT- based businesses and opportunities. They will train and recruit Vincentians to work in the industry. To this end, we have already successfully contacted a number of US-based companies who are interested in participating in this initiative, and these companies are waiting for the NDP to get in office so that they can commence their businesses here.

Meanwhile, the world is heading right now, very specifically, to connection through wireless and mobile technologies. St. Vincent and the Grenadines has the opportunity to be on the cutting edge. Our goal is to make this island the region’s example for cutting edge technology use, not only in government but in everyday life.

The NDP also announced that it would work in conjunction with the existing stakeholders in internet connectivity to make St. Vincent and the Grenadines the first island in the region where the internet would be universally accessible on a broadband wireless platform, and free to all locals and visitors to the island.

The ULP mocked and criticized that programme. The ULP said then that it was totally impossible, and the NDP could not implement such a programme. Today, the ULP administration is offering internet access to some homes at a reduced cost for two (2) years. Why is the government only offering internet access for two years? Be reminded that the NDP had proposed to deliver free internet to all Vincentians, not only to a few households as the government is now suggesting. We will stick to its plan.

The NDP went further and announced that it will provide each school age child, from primary to secondary school, with a laptop which will assist in their education. The ULP then went on the rampage the next day. ‘Where would the NDP get the money from to purchase laptops?

That will not happen’. Those were

some of their comments. Two days later, the leader of the ULP went on radio and television and declared that his party, if it won the next general elections, would give each school child a laptop.

The ULP won the general elections, and only half of the school population received their laptops. Today, two years later, the others are still waiting for their laptops. Some students have completed their schooling and have not received the laptops that were promised to them; others are still waiting. Mr. Prime Minister, where are the remaining laptops that you promised the students of this country? They need them.

Moreover, the laptops that were brought to this country by the ULP regime were not fitted with the correct programme(s) for effective functioning in the classroom. As a matter of fact, most of the schools are not using the laptops, while scores are at the Ministry of Education waiting to be repaired. So it was a mad rush by the ULP to grab the NDP’s plan and no proper planning was done by the ULP administration to initiate and implement such a programme. The NDP’s programme for laptops for each school child was properly planned and thought-out, and it would have been functioning effectively to the benefit of the students and teachers, had the NDP been elected to office.

The NDP will develop a programme for teachers of technology which will supplement the way technology is taught in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The programme will include the empowerment of our youth to educate one another and indeed anyone interested in knowing more about Information Technology. We also expect IT to influence our entire education system.

The NDP supports the use of technology to improve every area of our lives in which the public has to interface with government bureaucracy. These include: providing documents, eg. Passport applications online for download; publishing reports and budgets for the attention of the public and for download; using technology in all government departments which need to produce documentation for the public and linking government departments allowing data sharing; using technology for medical records in our hospitals and clinics.

When there is connectivity across Ministries, this will be improved to become more effective and efficient.

And whereever the government embraces technology there will be more opportunities for employment.

The NDP is committed to transform the way technology, is used and taught in schools; improve the efficiency and transparency across each Ministry through the use of Information Technology, and create a free internet society. Undoubtedly, the NDP has better plans and policies to move this country forward, for instance, our Information Technology programme. It also has, by far, a superior team when compared to the ULP, to implement those policies.

Compliments or flattery?

Dollar diplomacy is over

“The difference between a compliment and flattery is often motive. A compliment offers genuine appreciation for a quality or action seen in another person. The goal of flattery is usually selfadvancement through gaining the favor of someone else.

Compliments seek to encourage; flattery attempts to manipulate.” – David McCasland More of us need to develop the discipline of recognizing good when we see it. As so very often happens, the good that surrounds us daily, appears to go unnoticed. There are also times when it appears to stare us right in the face, and we seem to see right through it. We could be so preoccupied with other things (or with self) that we neglect to commend those that have been good and kind to us, or those that are being kind and caring to others. Many of the individuals who pause to make a positive contribution to others, actually do so without expecting to be recognized or complimented.

However, they deserve our sincere congratulations. That school teacher who remains after her regular work day to help a failing student (without being paid for doing so), deserves our compliments. That neighbour who prepares a Sunday meal for the geriatric widow next door, deserves our praise. That youngster who helps the old lady across the pedestrian crossing, needs to be commended. We have been silent for too long, as we observe so many acts of kindness and heroism around us daily.

Many of the readers of this column have actively been engaged in conducting a variety of acts of kindness. And so, you understand how refreshing and energizing it is when individuals or organisations pause to recognize your good deeds.

We feel good when we receive such compliments. However, there are times when we have concluded that some of the utterances are insincere and are merely intended to flatter us ... to manipulate us in some way. We really have no control over what others will say to us and what their motives are. In so many instances, we cannot tell how genuine their words are. But we must avoid falling prey to cynicism. We should avoid being suspicious of the motives and intentions of those who praise us.

And while we should be on guard for those who will seek to dupe us and take us on emotional roller-coasters, the more important consideration is for us to avoid being classified as flatterers. Our utterances should be sincere. We should be the conduits of genuine compliments.

It is at this juncture that readers are invited to do some introspection.

We do this with the clear understanding that we are determined to take a close look at who we are and how we behave, in an effort to improve. For as good as we are ... we can all do better. That being said (and now out of the way), let us consider how well we are doing in terms of observing and commending the good that so often surrounds us. How well are we doing to compliment positive actions in our homes, neighbourhoods, schools, churches, and workplaces? What thoughts emerged as you read that

The days of dollar diplomacy are over. Dollar diplomacy is the process of using one economic power to buy or force another country to offer its political, ideological and diplomatic support in exchange for assistance, which the weaker country cannot refuse. Dollar diplomacy can be traced back to the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990. The People’s Republic of China and Taiwan did the last dance. With over 150 countries, including all of the developed states, maintaining diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic, Beijing no longer holds as priority establishment of relations other the hold outs.

St Lucia’s Prime Minister Kenny Anthony is feeling the sting of this new reality. St Lucia maintained relations with the People’s Republic during Anthony’s last administration.

Then Anthony’s Labour party lost to Stephenson King who switched relations from Beijing to Taipei.

Anthony will love to switch back to the People’s Republic, but appears too late. Beijing is satisfied with having relations with the major states in the region, especially oil rich Trinidad and bauxite laden Jamaica and Guyana.

Where does this reality leave resource-starved SVG and the few other countries that still maintain relations with Taiwan? In St Vincent, the ruling Labour Party and the opposition remain convinced that relations with Taiwan is the best thing for SVG at this time. The leaders of both parties believe that there is something special in the relations maintained with Taiwan, even though relations with Taiwan bucks the dominant trend in world diplomacy, which saw all of the major countries break relations with Taiwan and establish relations with mainland China.

For a multiplicity of reasons, least among them political and ideological, we should have established relations with the People’s Republic decades ago. Had it not been for the cold war, we would have never established relations with Taiwan. In fact, back in 1981 when the Cato government established relations with Taiwan and South Korea, many thought these developments were back steps. Even the United States, which had led the charge in getting countries not to recognize Moa Ze Tung Chinese Revolution, had established relations with the People’s Republic in 1975, after the secret visit of Henry Kissinger to Beijing in 1973.

Rather than follow the general tide of progressive humanity, our leaders, having gained independence in 1979, refused to pay attention to what their traditional friends in Washington and London were doing. Cato went with relations with the repressive Taiwan and South Korea, and our political elite never caught up with the times.

We will never catch up. Beijing is no longer interested in relations with us, and Taiwan, not pressured by the possibility of a switch, can offer whatever it pleases and juice the relations for maximum effect.

This development is unfortunate and shows the shortsightedness of the local political elite. If ever there was a time when SVG needed to marry its

question? Some readers were comfortable with the recognition that they give to others. Others immediately responded by concluding that they do not have to compliment anyone (especially those outside their homes). Other readers pondered for a moment and realised that they really never thought about it. What thoughts entered the crevices of your mind? Introspect! Get to the bottom of the revelations. There are so many individuals who cross our paths daily, who will experience a sprint in their step and feel good about themselves if we will only pause to recognize them for doing something good. Even the most miserable individual in our circle of influence has something good about them. No person is totally bad.

Even the vilest individual has some degree of good in them. And that good can be multiplied many times over when we pause to recognize it in them. Sometimes, the most deviant of behaviour in our home, school, neighbourhood or workplace can be a cry for help; a plea for some kind of recognition. So who will you and I compliment today? Whose life will we take to a new level of self-worth?

Where will we venture out to intercept someone who needs to know that their value, their worth, is being recognised and appreciated?

Amidst the revelations of the new tasks that we must perform (based on our most recent introspection), we remind ourselves that our sincerity and genuine appreciation must shine through. We must avoid merely demonstrating a “glib tongue” that simply takes us along the slippery path of flattery; being insincere, manipulative and selfish. However, once our authentic gratitude shines through our words and gestures, we can be like the winds beneath the hearer’s wings. Someone, somewhere, is waiting for our commendation — our recognition. We can inspire so many when we pause to let them know that we admire and appreciate their qualities and/or actions. And so, some other questions emerge: Is there someone in our home, neighbourhood, church, school, workplace or the community at large that we need to compliment? Is there someone who assisted us along life’s path that we need to praise? Each of us can think of at least one person that we must now contact in person (face-to-face), via telephone, by e-mail or letter, as we say how much we appreciate the positive impact that they have made.

And in our contemplation, let us remember those individuals who are now retired (and in the twilight of their lives), who may wrongfully conclude that no one cares or remembers their noble acts. Our compliments (not our flattery) can remind them that their deeds of yesteryear have not been forgotten ... and they are not forgotten. We can build people up (and in so doing build up ourselves) as we pause to “big them up” via our compliments.

economic relations with its foreign policy, that time is now. The world economic crisis that began its deadly grip in 2008 continues to strangle poor undeveloped countries like ours.

When the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jin Ping, met with regional leaders in Trinidad and pledged more than US$3 billion in concessional loans for infrastructural development to Caribbean countries that maintain diplomatic relations with Beijing, the position of St Vincent was exposed for the failure of our leaders to mine the relationship with Taiwan for maximum effect.

Taiwan needed us, and should have been made to pay much more for the respectability relations with us and a few other countries afforded it. We helped Taiwan to break out of isolation, and failed to call the right price for ‘friendship’.

Because President Xi Jing Ping’s visit came immediately after Joseph Biden, the American Vice president, leaders got to see what real benefits their political foresight can bring. No one in the region remember, what benefits the CARICOM/ American meeting brought to the region.

Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Suriname, Montserrat, Guyana, Barbados, The Bahamas, Grenada, Dominica, and Antigua and Barbuda can expect continuing benefits because of their relations with the People’s Republic, while Belize, Haiti, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and SVG settle for whatever benefits continued relations with Taiwan bring.

In a period when our traditional friends are experiencing great economic difficulties and cutting back on assistance, in an age when we are struggling to construct an international airport, now more than ever is the time for policy makers in SVG to break relations with Taiwan, and to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.

But it might be too late.

The People’s Republic represents more than 20 percent of the world’s population, and its economy, second only to that of the US, continues to grow by leaps and bounds. China’s Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, Huang Xingyuan, warned, “One thing I would like to emphasize here is that the people of China will never forget their old friends, especially those friends that supported us at the crucial moments of history.”

As we have said before, the one China policy will gain further ground.

Soon both countries will merge and work out of a single embassy. Taiwan will take its rightful place as a province in the People’s Republic, and SVG will be left out in the cold.

The lack of foresight with our foreign policy is consigning SVG to a prolonged period of underdevelopment. Dollar diplomacy has not served us well.

12. FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2013. THE VINCENTIAN

Views

Hypocrites in our midst Enough is enough!! Yet again, Taiwan and the super-rich of Mustique, arrogantly display their hypocritical ways to the public.

Over the past decades, billions of dollars have been creamed-off by Taiwan and the super-rich of Mustique by not paying ‘adequate’ taxes. Taiwan makes billions of dollars, using SVG’s Deep Sea Fish Licence, fishing for tuna in the Atlantic Ocean. The Mustique Company Act 48 of 2002 gives the super-rich of Mustique tax and customs duty exemptions.

In return for bleeding our country dry, Taiwan and Mustique give SVG inconsequential and insulting donations.

In THE VINCENTIAN of 14 June 2013, it was reported that the Mustique Trust gave a laptop computer to SVG police. In The News of 24 May 2013, it was reported that the Mustique Trust donated $9,950 to Owia Early Childhood Centre in support of school meal programme, and that Taiwan pledged US$1 million towards (ITC) Training Centre.

Bearing in mind that our country is having billions leached from it, these paltry contributions are a joke and an insult. The hypocrites are metaphorically urinating on the people, and we are meant to be grateful for the offering.

Children in Owia would not be

going hungry if Taiwan and Mustique had been paying the billions in taxes that they have not paid, and likewise our police force would not need to seek donations for a laptop computer.

SVG is going through one of the most difficult economic periods in its history, and Taiwan and Mustique carry on bleeding the country dry. No matter how many children go hungry, fail to get an education or die early, it’s business as usual for Taiwan and Mustique as they bleed the country dry.

SVG Green Party calls for the Taiwan embassy to be closed immediately. We call also for the tax exemptions given to the super-rich of Mustique to be stopped immediately.

Taiwan is not a friend of SVG. China would be a better partner for our country. Earlier this month, China’s president offered $3 billion to be invested in the Caribbean. We must break ties with Taiwan.

The handouts by Taiwan and Mustique of our own tax money in the form of charity is an insult. Do they believe Vincentians are stupid? They are simply cultivating a begging bowl, dependency culture to oppress the people of SVG. If we did not have Taiwan and Mustique bleeding the country dry, SVG could have free internet all over the country by now. Free internet is essential in SVG to stimulate and

produce innovation in our country.

For example, the 16year-old American scientist, Jack Andraka, was interviewed on BBC radio 4 on Sat 15th June 2013, and said that without the internet, he would not have been able to innovate as he has, and find his new test for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. See SVG Green Party on facebook for more on this story.

SVG needs free internet, thousands

more jobs, better hospitals, free education and a university. To achieve this, we must get rid of the hypocrites of Taiwan and Mustique.

From history to heritage I think History, or the study of it, is a most engaging, entertaining and enlightening subject.

Heritage, which I define as history distilled - one’s own particular history as one accepts it - is even more pertinent to providing a platform from which we build values and purpose for our lives. It is a beginning from which we create a vision of who we are or who we want to be. I’ll share an anecdote to illustrate.

The story goes that, back in the early 1960s, a certain cow wandered onto the grounds of the then-named Arnos Vale Airport. Ken Graham, this country’s first ATC - air traffic controller - recalls that he caused the animal, which posed a danger to aircraft landing and taking off, to be shot dead. A short while after the demise of the said bovine, Ken received a phone call from a gentleman whom he knew quite well.

Truth be told, this gentleman had personally written in 1957 to Ken Graham, then an ATC at then Atkinson Airport in Guyana, offering him the job of air traffic controller of the not-yet-constructed Arnos Vale Airport, the first of our five airports.

In fact, the gentleman caller was probably the most well-known person at the time on the island of St. Vincent. His name? Ebenezer T. Joshua, first Chief Minister (in those nascent days of this country’s life, one had a fairly good chance of being the first in practically any endeavor (first air traffic controller, first Chief Minister, first land surveyor, first local manager, etc).

According to Ken Graham, Chief Minister Ebenezer Joshua identified himself, then said, quite casually, “Ah hear you shoot meh cow”. Now, that in my book is an example of Heritage and priceless too! It is history but, technically, it is not good history because I have only one source on which to rely for the veracity of the account. A good historian, like a good journalist, should have at least three non-connected, individual sources, all with corroborating facts, before opening the door to sound history or historiography.

The point I wish to make here, however, is that I accept the story as true, while I continue to search for other persons who can fill in missing or additional credible pieces of the account. In other words, I accept this anecdote as part of my Vincentian Heritage. Once I accept history - her story, a story, their story - as true and real, as it relates to my past and present reality, it then becomes my story and - by Chester Connell’s definition of the word “heritage” -

that story then becomes my heritage.

The incident, as told to me directly

by Ken Graham while I interviewed him about his own life story, connects precisely with other oral histories that I have sought about the iconic Joshua.

The vernacular, the method and the eventual action taken by this great character at the end of the story - I’m coming to it - can all be used as evidence - and they connect flawlessly with all that I have understood about the man, I barely knew E. T. Joshua.

It is essential that all, each in her or his own way, find stories of the past - that we may have to reach back and pull to us - that we can build on, that we can call our heritage, our story, something of inestimable value, of which we can be proud. At the very same time, it is essential that one creates a unique heritage today by the way one lives one’s life, so that those who follow in the future can accept it as something substantial they can build on as well. Often, in our search for identity, we find that the stone the builder of history rejected becomes the chief cornerstone of our heritage. This is the stuff from which personal and national identities are made, upon which nations are founded. Life is story.

And now the end of the happy tale …. After Ken tied together, for the island’s leading man, the untethered details of how his cow came to the end of its chain - so to speak - E.T. Joshua had the animal butchered. Later on that day, airport staff were surprised to receive cuts of beef as, once again, E. T Joshua shared what was his with those who he knew formed a part of his identity, part of a heritage he was in the process of creating for himself and for us today.

For those interested in viewing material on Vincentian heritage, please visit OfftheGridMedia on Youtube.

Next time: Do you think a Vincentian heritage is being desecrated in Canouan as Vincentians, human capital, are treated with utter contempt and aggression as they are daily stoned with insults and obscenities from their clearly psychotic employers? I would argue that eighteen-century slavery is part of our history, but not part of our heritage. Is modern-day slavery part of our heritage in Canouan? We appear to be accepting it. If so, then it is part of our heritage, It is part of who we are, (that) we are quite comfortable with the calamity that is Canouan. What would E.T Joshua or Milton Cato think of this?

Four Vincies get FatherÊs Day honours Story and photos by Nelson A. King naking@verizon.net; neloking@msn.com

US CORRESPONDENT

The Brooklyn, New York-based Club St. Vincent, Inc., one of the older cultural and educational Vincentian organizations in the US, bestowed Father’s Day honours on four outstanding nationals, last Sunday.

The awards were conferred on Grammar School alumni Auton ‘Frankie’ George, Crispin Friday and Colin Liverpool, and Kingstown Anglican and Richmond Hill Government schools alumnus Grafton ‘Breen’ Greaves, at a gala ceremony at the Friends of Crown Heights Educational Center in Brooklyn.

Auton ‘Frankie’ George George, an accountant and economist, hails from New Montrose, Kingstown. He received his primary and secondary education at the Kingstown Methodist and Boys Grammar (BGS) schools, respectively.

After Auton ‘Frankie’ George graduating from receiving award from Verna Arthur, public the Boys relations officer, Club Grammar St. Vincent, Inc. School in 1966, George received a Commonwealth Scholarship to study economics at Arcadia University in Newfoundland, Canada, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in that discipline four years later.

Thereafter, he received a teaching fellowship at York University in Toronto, Canada to pursue a master’s degree in economics.

George married registered nurse Edna McDonald, of Belair, then returned to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, after graduation in 1971. He taught advanced level economics for the next three years at the BGS. He was later seconded to the quasipublic Development Corporation (DEVCO), where he collaborated with current Opposition Leader, Arnhim Eustace, and now head of Public Properties, Halley ‘Bucky’ Dougan.

George was also an avid sportsman and carnival lover, playing cricket and soccer (football) with the Eagles Sports Club, and mas with the Bridge Boys’ Club, of which he was a member.

In 1975, George, his wife and their young daughter, Zulema, migrated to New York, where he worked, until his recent retirement, as an accountant with JPMorgan Chase, a leading bank in the US. George is listed among the founding “fathers” of Club St. Vincent, Inc.

Crispin, an active member of the Brooklyn-based Bequia Progressive Organization (BUPO), and Flatlands (Brooklyn) Civic Association, said he was raised with strong Christian values, which have shaped his life.

His biography describes him as “an exemplary father not only to his two daughters, Krisann and Christine, but to all of their friends.”

Crispin migrated to New York Crispin Friday (L) receiving in 1985 and “wasted no time award from Deputy New York becoming a stalwart member of Consul General Edson Augustus.

Colin Liverpool In introducing Liverpool, Mrs. Friday said his very terse biography is “an understatement of the giants we have in the package (programme).

There’s so much more,” she said, stating that Liverpool was very humble and disinclined to give detailed information.

In his acceptance speech, Liverpool corroborated her statement, stating he was “a reluctant honoree.”

Liverpool, who resided in Cane Garden, Kingstown before migrating to New York, holds a dual Bachelor of Science degree in engineering science and Colin Liverpool receiving award physics from the College of from Club St. Vincent, Inc.

In addition, Greaves said he was an “able assistant” to the late netball pioneer Sylvia Wilson.

After leaving elementary school, Greaves worked at Cable and Wireless for eight years, then at the St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ Government Printing Office for six years.

He migrated to New York in 1968 and worked at various places before landing a position with Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) at Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, from where he retired. HHC oversees all municipal hospitals in New York City.

Greaves is said to be “a pillar” in Club St. Vincent, Inc. for more than 30 years.

“He is kind, especially to the seniors in his community and his friends…. always ready and willing to assist them,” his biography states.

Greaves resides with his wife, Julie, in Brooklyn.

In addition to video montage of the honorees, the gala featured, among others, video clips on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, primarily highlighting construction of the Argyle International Airport; a dance routine, dubbed “SVG Dancing with the Stars”; and a musical rendition by Abena Amory-Powell, daughter of Erlene Williams-King, a former aide to SVG New York Consul General, after which patrons danced the evening away to soca vibes from preeminent DJ, Supa Eyes.

deserved.

Kelcey had to give up her television watching and computer leisure times, and instead developed a practice of following the local news on SVGTV at nights and NBC Radio.

Her extra-curricular activities, however, she did not postpone. She is a member of the La Gracia Dance Company and never stopped her practice sessions.

Additionally, she is an active music student, recently completing her Grade 2 Practical and Grade Four Theory exams.

At school, her favourite subjects are Math and Science, and while she is not sure where that might lead her, she is leaning towards a career in that field. She will attend the Girls’ High school in the new academic year.

Kelcey felt that she

could not finish her conversation with THE VINCENTIAN without commending her former teacher, Mrs. Aberdeen Roberts. Mrs. Roberts taught her Math and English in Grade Four.

She intimated that English was her weakest subject then, but Mrs. Roberts’ methodology and encouragement were instrumental in getting her to better understand the subject.

Sariah Jackson: Lodge Village’s joy SARIAH JACKSON has made the staff of the Lodge Village Government School, her family and the Lodge Village community proud.

She placed 3rd for girls and 4th overall, recording 95% in General paper, 93.33% in Mathematics and 92.42% in English.

Speaking to THE VINCENTIAN, Jackson said, “I like to watch TV, but I had to give up watching wrestling and Sponge Bob, and stay away from the computer.”

She admitted that she “prayed plenty” and was always consistent throughout her time at school .

Reflecting on the moment she received the news, the Green Hill resident said she did not display much emotion, since she knew she would have done well. “ I studied hard and I believed I would have placed in the top ten. My parents encouraged me and helped me.”

Sariah, though, found time for extracurricular activities: being an active member of the junior section of steel band Sion Hill; playing the organ at her church.

As to what she wants to become, she is unsure; however, she hinted at becoming a musician.

The beaming lass expressed thanks to her mother, Ertha Samuel Jackson, a worker at the Postal Corporation, and her father Kendel Jackson, former teacher, now self- employed.

Sariah’s mother was obviously happy.

“I feel proud of her, because I know she would have done well. … When her brother did the Common Entrance Exam, he placed 32rd and she wanted to exceed that result,” explained the senior Jackson .

Phillip Farrell and Shirla John, both Grade 6 teachers, described Sariah as intelligent, dedicated, hard-working and well—disciplined, and one who strove for nothing but the best.

Farrell complimented Jackson’s parents for the role they played in her life. “I wish more parents of this school are like Sariah’s parents, who were always there for her and with her,” he encouraged.

June Russell became principal of the institution 7 years ago, the same time the current batch of Grade 6 students entered. For her, Sariah’s success brings her joy.

Russell revealed that another student, Lemervin Slater, also placed very high in the exam.

Slater was 13th for boys and 21st overall.

Fourteen students placed in the top 500, and from the 58 students that did the exam, 38 passed, giving the school an average pass rate of 65%, higher than the national average which stands at 55%.

Porter: Top for Windsor

by KENVILLE HORNE ZOE PORTER, from the Windsor Primary school, placed 3rd for girls and 4th overall. She recorded 100% for Mathematics, 95% for General Paper, and 86.36 for English.

Porter credited her mom, Bianca Porter, Manager at the Young Island Resort, along with her father, Albert Porter, Brew master and Technical Manager at the St. Vincent Brewery Ltd, for her success. She said that her mom worked very hard with her at home, while her father provided support, The young scholar also had high praises for her teachers, class mates and Aunt Marilyn.

But success does not come without sacrifice. Porter had to sacrifice her electronics and playing time, and “when my friend had sleep over parties , I only spent some hours before going back home. I was angry at my ,om, but I see it paid off eventually,” Porter said.

Her goal is to become a Pediatric Surgeon. She spoke passionately about helping disabled and disadvantaged children.

Porter is appealing to students who would be involved in the CCPA exam next year and in the future, to sacrifice their leisure time and study hard, if they want to do well.

Jacqueline Da Silva, Grade 6 Mathematics teacher at the school, complimented Porter on her performance and her consistency. She disclosed that it was the third time since teaching at the institution for the last 8 years, that a student recorded a perfect score at the subject.

Principal of the Windsor Primary school, Carol Smith, said she knew Porter would have done well since she was always an A student. She also expressed satisfaction with the overall performance of the students at her school, revealing that of the 16 students who did the exam, only one was successful.

He recalled how he took extra classes in Math and English, and did past papers.

During his studies, his family constantly checked to help him eliminate “careless mistakes.”

Apart from his regular curricular activities, Delaan is involved in a range of activities and undertakings. He is a Boy Scout in his school’s Troupe; has

participated successfully in track; a keen music student, completing his first practical exam when he performed at the High Scorers Concert at Government House along with his brother, Sujit, on 12th April, and his Grade Two Theory Exam on 15th June; and swims with the Black Sands Swimming Squad.

Delaan is remembered for having never missed submitting a project for his school’s biannual Science Fair, and being an outstanding Grade Four finalist in the first ever Spanish Championship held at his school in 2011.

Delaan plans to attend the St. Vincent Grammar School where he intends to work hard but still have “some fun’.

He intends to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a doctor and, according to his mother, he has already informed his father that he should keep the practice until he [Delaan] takes over.

Areanna: ‘Surprised I was not first’ ontinued from Page 2.

Areanna explained that her study habits included the necessity for space and silence.

Her older sister had to vacate the room because she used to turn her notes into songs and sang them aloud, in order to memorize them.

She used two extra texts for English and one for Math, and also visited the ‘Vincy Classroom’ website and did past papers.

On exam day, nervousness threatened to take her over, but she remembered her mother’s advice to pray. Also, when she saw that the Math test looked just Ms. McLean’s test, she felt at ease.

Areanna advises other students to “Work hard at school. Put God first in everything.” .

Her two teachers, Ms. Sandra McLean and Ms. Lydia Pope, are overwhelmingly proud of Areanna who is adamant that she wants to become a lawyer, and demonstrated a sensitivity that belied her tender age when she identified wanting to “provide justice” for abused young women.

‘DREAM BIG!’ ‘Secure your financial Freedom!’ ‘Seize the day!’

These were all messages reiterated to a selection of this nation’s women last Saturday, at a First Citizens Investment Services hosted one-day Women’s Conference under the theme, ‘Investing in our women - A Powerful Financial Well Being Conference’.

The Conference, held at the Buccama Bay Resort, and which coordinators admitted had been in the works for a number of years and was three years overdue, saw far more attendees than expected, perhaps because those invited had an idea of the intrinsic value and importance of a conference of this nature.

Those in attendance were a diverse cross section, ranging from bank personnel to lawyers, fashion designers, insurance agents and more.

Six speakers presented on topics like ‘Unleashing the Creative You’, ‘Parenting and leadership’, ‘Financial Fitness’, ‘Living your dream’, ‘Living a healthy lifestyle’ and ‘Basic Legal Concepts every woman should know’.

Participants showed signs of being enthralled by what they were learning, nodding along emphatically in agreement.

The session on ‘Unleashing the Creative You’, with Norlan Gabriel of FCIS St Vincent as lead presenter, emphasized the importance of

creativity and individuality in the workplace and encouraged women to never stifle their creative ideas.

Sharon Christopher, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the First Citizens Group, took the lead in addressing Parenting and Leadership. She shared delightful anecdotes and candid stories about her family life. It was apparent that her openness and honesty sat well with all present.

The issue of ‘Financial fitness’ was addressed by Mrs Carole Eleuthere –Jn Marie of St. Lucia. She encouraged the women to secure their financial freedom, and challenged them with, “Are you in control of your money?

Or is your money in control of you?”, as she outlined helpful ways to avoid and alleviate debt crisis.

Alisa Alvis, SVG’s first female black belt karate exponent, was on deck to teach the ladies self defence. Not only did she impart knowledge of the acronym SING – Solar Plexus, Instep, Nose and Groin - which are the areas women should target on an attacker; but she also implored the women to always be aware of their surroundings and “don’t be the women walking and looking down at your phone, don’t be distracted, and always look like you know what is going on around you.”

Guest Speaker Desiree Richards, Managing Director of Metrocint General Insurance and THE VINCENTIAN Publishing companies, presented on the topic ‘Living your dream through good and bad times’. She encouraged the women to reflect on the lives of the iconic figures of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, and urged the participants to give flight to their dreams through research and reading. Her detailing of twenty-one

ways of “living your dreams drove the point home that women are responsible for their futures, and ensuring that they not only utilize their full potential, but live out their dreams in the process.

The session on ‘Living a healthy lifestyle’ was also a crowd favourite amongst the women, as Mrs. Sylvia Gould, former Head of the School of Nursing, delivered a presentation on the importance of having a healthy spiritual, work and family lifestyle. She delivered her presentation with a special cheer and humour that was delightful, and kept the women’s attention throughout.

The final presentation was by legal luminary Ms. René Baptiste, who gave a breakdown of Basic Legal Concepts every woman should know including issues of land ownership, wills, paternity, and explained legal terms of which women should have an understanding.

A call for more The majority of participants expressed their full enjoyment of the conference, from the atmosphere of Jack’s bar, the camaraderie, to the information learnt and enlightenment gained from the presentations.

There was a call for continuing to afford the opportunity for even more women to benefit from involvement in a conference of this nature.

Left: Alisa Alvis brought home the need for women to protect themselves against physical attacks.

Participants at the one-day conference were enthralled by the presentations’ depth of information and styles of delivery.

Youth

NYC continues mobilization effort AS THE NATIONAL YOUTH COUNCIL continued its mobilization of the nation’s youth in a build up to its upcoming Conference of Delegates Meeting scheduled for later this year, when 100 youths came together, Tuesday 18th June, to deliberate in a conference themed: ‘The role of youths in an ever changing technological environment’.

Among the topics examined at the Conference held at Frenches House, Kingstown, were: The role of youths in an ever changing technological environment; Volunteerism and its

place in building SVG; and The role of the NYC in youth Development in SVG. Those presenting papers and leading the discussions included Aubrey Burgin, Carlos Williams, Dwight Lewis, Rosita Snagg, Dr Cleve Scott and Junior Bacchus, all past executive members of the Council. They shared the experiences of the Council in the past, and encouraged youths to never let the work of the Council go unnoticed.

Miss Kathie SanFilippo, a US Peace Corps Volunteer, presented on the importance and impact of

volunteerism in helping to build self and country.

The conference also heard from Hon. Frederick Stephenson, Minister of Youth, who welcomed the gathering of young people, and challenged them to keep the NYC flame burning and to work toward reshaping a National Youth Policy for the country.

Other remarks of encouragement came from Youth Officer Philcol Jeffers; President of the council Altoscha Anderson, and Idesha Jackson from the None State Actors Panel.

Participants were motivated, and

requested that the mobilization process be taken to other parts of the country, so that other youths will be encouraged to get organized for their own

good and that of the country.

The Conference was hosted by the None State Actors, and funded by the European Union Development Fund.

Below: NYC Conference participants and presenters.

The next big event on the Council’s calendar is the Conference of Delegates Meeting, at which a new executive will be elected.

Leisure

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Confusion could result when communicating with others. Someone you work with may be emotional. You need some rest. Be quiet about your intentions or ideas that might bring added cash.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) Don't let your family put demands on you. Partnerships will be successful.

You must strive to get the most important projects completed properly, rather than doling everything in a half baked way. Overindulgence may cause conflicts.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You may have difficulties with family members if you get involved in petty arguments. Now is the time to concentrate on building a strong financial future for your family. Look into family outings or projects. Avoid getting too close to coworkers or employers.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You must avoid gossip and focus on what you have to do. You may have been too nice to a friend who just wanted to take advantage of you. Get into some activities that will help you in making new friends. New interests are preoccupying your time.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Discuss your objectives with partners or peers. Someone you least expect could be trying to make you look bad.

Secret intrigues could get you into trouble. Don't be too eager to spend what's left over; more unexpected expenses are evident.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Find ways to mellow out. This could be the cause of a dispute that may result in estrangement. You may have personal problems, but professional duties might be pressing. Secret affairs will eventually backfire on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) New romantic ties can be made; how-

ever, you must make sure that your motives are not selfish before you make your move. There'll be difficulties if you spend too much. Deceit around you is evident. You can make extra cash by moonlighting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You will be subject to pushy individuals if you get involved in uncertain organizations. Give everyone in the house a physical chore that will help burn off some of the excess energy. You could meet potential new mates if you go out with friends or take pleasure trips. Try to understand their point of view.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your childlike quality may get you into big trouble this week if you neglect your responsibilities. Try to spend more time with children and relatives. Jealousy may be a contributing factor to your emotional ups and downs. Be discreet and don't reveal any personal information.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Talk to peers who you trust in order to get sound advice. Confusion regarding other people's money and joint ventures will come to a head. You may have difficulties with family members if you get involved in petty arguments. Your emotional stability may influence the changes taking place in your personal life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21.- Feb. 19) Do not expect too much from others.

Legal matters that have been pending may be alleviated through compromise.

You have the ability to motivate others.

You can pick up additional responsibility that will lead to higher wages and a better position.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Travel will also be very informative. Be careful when dealing with investments.

Someone around you may not be trustworthy. Get involved in the activities of children.

Get a better job!

Dear George,

We argue for everything Dear George,

I met this girl 3 months now. We hit it off instantly; it was love at first sight. Since then, we have been on more dates than the calendar! I am the one who always paid the tab when we ate out, and on a few occasions, I took her to a hotel for a change of scenery and, of course, paid everything. I have no problem with that.

Everything was just fine with us until she found out what type of job I was doing. I live in New York and work as a janitor at a firm in Manhattan.

I am paid very well! She is asking me to get a different and “better” job. She even said to me that her friends would look at her differently if they find out that her boyfriend is a janitor.

George, do you think she has the right to ask me to change jobs because she has a problem with what I do?

Is it normal for a couple to be arguing every day?

In my case, my husband would always find something to argue about. For example, he can never accept it when I tell him how something should be done, and would want to do it his way, all the time. So we would argue about that.

The constant arguments have been affecting our relationship in many ways. I cannot be kind to him in bed, with all the unsettled issues hanging over our heads. When I refuse to ‘dilly dally’ with him in bed, it would break out into an argument. He just wants to jump into bed and jump on me as though all is well. I keep myself from him at night because it is my only chance to get him to see things my way, and for that, he says I am spiteful.

We are definitely not happy!

Wondering.

Cherry Ripe

Dear Wondering,

Dear Cherry Ripe,

If your girlfriend cannot accept you as a janitor, and that is what you do, then the next best thing for you is to ask her to find herself a man of whom she can be proud. Her focus should be on the heart and not the broom.

While it is normal for couples to have arguments, it is somewhat abnormal for a couple to be having one or more arguments on a daily basis. Your relationship should instead be experiencing long stretches of peaceful communication.

Maybe you need to re-examine the way you two communicate. Instead of telling him what to do, how about asking for his suggestions on the best way it ought to be done?

Include him in the decision-making, and see what happens. Explain to him that it is difficult for you to give all of yourself to him, when you are not pleased with the way things are going in the relationship.

A softening of your tone, and a change in your approach to the problems that pop up from time to time, will make a difference in the final outcome.

George

Calliaqua retains national bÊball title

CALLIAQUA UNITED are once again champions of men’s basketball in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

They retained their title when they edged Bequia United, 72 — 71, in the finals of the National Lotteries Authority Men’s Basketball Championship last Sunday, June 16, at the New Montrose Basketball Facility. s indicated, it was not easy going for the defending champions. The lads from Bequia pushed them right down to the finish line.

Outstanding players As far as leading players in the finals were concerned, Ishama McKree and Lezlo McKenzie registered 25 points apiece for Calliaqua United, while Jonas King scored 16 and Lamce Gordon 11 for Bequia United.

Lezlo McKenzie was adjudged the MVP of the finals.

Kendal Pinder of Hairoun Hardcore had the most rebounds, 59; Ishama McCree of Calliaqua United the most three pointers,12,

Police capture Bagga T-20 title THERE IS A NEW CHAMPION of softball cricket in Barrouallie.

The Royal SVG Police Force laid claim to that title when they dispensed of defending champions Suprizers , in the final match of the 2013 Bagga T-20 Softball Cricket Competition, last Sunday, June 16. The law-men took first knock and posted 109 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs, with Rolando Wright getting a top score of 39 runs and

Roderick John 30 runs.

Calvert Cordice was the pick of bowlers for Surprizers ,taking 2 wickets for 15 runs in 4 overs.

To most spectators and the Surprizers team, a target of 110 in 20 overs would have been considered surmountable. It was not to be.

Though, with Roy Richards, last year match winner for Suprizers at the crease, there was an air of déjà vu, but once

he departed for 34, Surprizers struggled and closed on 96 for 6 in their 20 overs, Renford Jack, 3 wickets for 30 runs in 4 overs, ensured victory for the law officers.

A statement from the Barrouallie Sports Association, organizers of the Competition, indicates that presentation of awards for the Cricket Competition will be held during the opening of the football league, scheduled for Sunday 4th August.

The Royal SVG Police Force dethroned Surprizers to take the 2013 Bagga Softball Cricket title.

Hatchet buried The West Indies Cricket Board and the West Indies Players Association will still stage this year’s Annual Players Awards, July 4.

There will be new categories added, Lifetime Awards for each entity.

The collaboration comes as a means of maximising resources. The WICB was planning to honour members of the all-conquering World Twenty/20 squad, in the face of the WIPA already having its own award ceremony.

The union signals the burying of the hatchet.

Both parties seemed to have been on a collision course, and the bickering had the prospects of hastening the decline of regional cricket.

Happily, good sense has prevailed, and signs of a spirit of cordiality of the Caribbean sport seem guaranteed.

One would hope that the era of boycotting by senior players of the West Indies team has disappeared.

The situation whereby uncertainty existed in West Indies cricket appears to have been dealt with.

There seems to be a logical approach to matters affecting cricket, and the stakeholders have perhaps grasped the dynamism that the game provides.

From here on, that exercise should mushroom into greater proportions.

Rewards for that performance in Sri Lanka last October will be a source of motivation for West Indies teams.

The sight of WIPA and WICB working together is cause for celebration. It shows maturity by administrators.

On reflection, we might be ashamed about the petty squabbles which we allowed to hamper our progress.

By then, plans for the staging of the Caribbean Premier League will have been advanced.

There is no doubt that conditions have changed, and the cordial relations between the WICB and WIPA mark an about turn in the region.

Funds generated from that event will go to the benefit of past players.

It is encouraging that the settlement came on the heels of our departure from the ICC Champions Trophy.

With the air of optimism that has taken over, it will do no good rehashing the misfortune of the Champions Trophy.

The West Indies selectors did not show any sensitivity when they chose the squads for the unofficial Test at Arnos Vale, and the two Twenty/20 matches against the Sri Lanka A Team.

The Test match was affected by rain, and the weather pattern did not contribute to any enthusiasm by Vincentian spectators.

The response to the lone Twenty/20 was encouraging. Vincentians showed that they are sincere supporters. Even though there was nothing to attract local fans, Vincentians turned up.

West Indies A won by five wickets. Sri Lanka were dismissed for 82 in 18.1 overs.

The West Indies cruised to 83 for 5 from 11.4 overs.

Some pundits may say that the home team lost too many wickets. Others will be content with the victory.

West Indian players must come to terms with the adjustment required.

Once live streaming is taking root, those responsible for the facility must complete the package. Instead of one camera on the ground, efforts could be made to keep up with telecasting and provide up-to-date information and genuine coverage.

Diamonds Village Football League kicks off The third edition of the Hairoun Beer/ SVG Practical Institute Diamonds Village Football Competition kicked off last Sunday afternoon at the Diamonds Playing Field, with the chief organizer, Gregory Mathias, promising better execution at all levels.

Mathias said on Sunday, “We are always striving to Action improve each year, and this year we expect to do the same.

“We are expecting a good clean competition, respect for the officials, as we are fast becoming one of the top leagues in the country,” he added.

Mathias was pleased to announce increased prize monies in 2013.

“We have been able to strike a good deal with the sponsors, so the first place team will get $3500, up by $ 1000 from last year; second place gets $2500; third place- $1500 and the fourth place $500”, Mathias said.

Twenty teams will be looking to lay their hands on the big pay out.

The teams are drawn in two groups of ten. In group A are Brownstown Most Wanted,

in the Diamonds Select team versus Bequia / Highlanders, Je Belle, Brighton All Stars, Carib Warriors, Langley Park Boys, Solidarity Inc. Sparta FC, Glenside Ball Blazers, Greiggs FC two, and DESCO Strikers two.

Dem Boys of Mespo- the defending champions, head group B, which also includes Garden Care Plus Spring Village, Comsports, Stubborn Youths, Greiggs FC one, DESCO Strikers one, SLR Royal Saints, Downstreet , Owia Shotters and Richland Park Pride and Joy .

Twelve of the teams participated in Sunday’s march past and opening ceremony, which heard addresses from area representative Hon. Saboto Caesar, Deniston Douglas of Diamonites and Trevor Huggins,

the general secretary of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation.

In the two exhibition matches which Gregory ‘Cookie’ followed, the Mathias, chief St Vincent and organizer of the the Grenadines League. female under20 team defeated the senior women’s team 3-2; and in a male encounter, a select team from the Diamonds league got past Bequia 4-2.

The competition is set to end on 29th September.

Cricket action in Mustique resumes Competition in the 2013 Mustique 20/20 Cricket League continued last weekend.

In Saturday’s action, Pink House Tags squared off against Rock Masters, in an encounter which saw both teams fielding depleted numbers, Pink House Tags taking to the field with 8 players and Rock Masters 9.

In actual play action, Rock Masters took first turn at the crease and were bowled out for 90 runs in 10.4 overs, Ezekiel Welcome getting 41 of those runs.

Bowling for Pink House Tags, Lindon Garrick’s 4 overs cost him 29 runs, but he took 4 wickets, and Dewran Ballantyne and Julian Sutherland had 2 apiece for 19 and 27 runs respectively.

What should have been an easy ‘walk over’ for Pink House Tags proved otherwise; they wer embarrassed, even given their depleted numbers, for a measly 62 in 13.2 overs. Charles Benjamin was their best batsman with 18 runs.

Leading bowlers for Rock Masters were Andy Spring, 4 overs, 18 runs and 3 wickets and

Kenneth Glasgow, 2.1 overs, 12 runs and 2 wickets.

Man of the Match was Rock Masters’ Ezekiel Welcome.

In Sunday’s match, defending champions Milsom Construction successfully continued their quest for another title when they disposed of Alumbrera Sweepers.

The trend of low scores continued from

Saturday, with Alumbrera Sweepers managing only 64 in 16.4 overs. Their batsmen had little answer to Harris Roberts, 4 overs, 16 runs and 3 wickets, and Rohan Blake, 4 overs, 12 runs and 2 wickets Milsom Construction were comfortable in their chase and closed at 65 runs for 4 wickets from 10.4 overs, with Lennomn Caine

providing the weekend’s brightest spark with a blast of 29 runs in 8 balls and earning himself the Man of the Match award.

of the public had raised concern about the development involving the juror. .

John pointed out that the Judge chose to be cautious, discharged the 12-member jury, and ordered a retrial.

“The judge made that decision to avoid any perception of prejudice because justice must not only be done, it must appear to be done,” the Assistant DPP explained.

He noted, however, that in small countries like St. Vincent and the Grenadines, it is difficult

to find anybody who is not related to somebody.

John reiterated that it was a relative of the juror and not the juror who is related to the family of the deceased, and opined that the juror may have thought that she could have still made an impartial decision.

Colin John, Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, says he understands the judge’s reason(s) for ordering a retrial, but insisted there was nothing to show that the juror did anything wrong.

Call for Jury Act to be amended IMMEDIATE past president of the local Bar Association, Kay Bacchus-Browne, thinks it’s time that the Jury Act is amended to permit pre-trial examination of jurors, and for alternate jurors to be provided.

The defence lawyer made the call last Friday, June 14, after the trial involving the kidnapping and murder of Agassi Fraser, an 18-year-old student of the St. Vincent Community College student at the time of his death, was aborted.

After almost two weeks into the trial, presiding Judge Frederick Bruce-Lyle discharged the jury and ordered a retrial for the accused Odinga Foster, 27, who is charged with the kidnapping and murder of his cousin Fraser, and conspiracy to kidnap.

He is accused of committing the offences between September and October 2009.

Justice Bruce-Lyle’s decision was taken last week Thursday, June 13, following an inquiry involving one of the jurors on the panel. The inquiry was held after Bacchus-Browne, who conducted the case for the defence, informed Justice Bruce-Lyle and Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Colin John, who led the case for the prosecution, that it was brought to the attention of the defence that a relative of one of the jurors on the panel had a close association with Agassi’s family.

Bacchus-Browne, who is disappointed with the development, told THE VINCENTIAN that the Jury Act should be amended to avoid incidents of this nature from reoccurring.

“The time has come for a pre-trial selection of the jury where the jurors will be examined by the defence, prosecution and Judge, so that the court could determine whether there is any biases or predisposition of the jurors, or whether they have been exposed to too much pre-trial publicity of the case,” Bacchus-Browne declared.

She indicated that this procedure should be implemented primarily in capital matters and other serious offences. She added that there should also be alternate jurors, to avoid having to order a retrial when situations similar to what occurred in the Agassi case arise.

“Almost two weeks of judicial time was wasted, which is a waste of tax payers’ money,” BacchusBrowne lamented.

When contacted on Monday, the Assistant DPP told THE VINCENTIAN, “The law is always evolving, and there can always be improvements to various aspects of the law.” He declined to comment further.

Published by The VINCENTIAN Publishing Co. Ltd, St. Vincent and the Grenadines;

Thirteen (13) witnesses had already testified for the prosecution when the matter was aborted. They included star witness Brando Lockhart, investigator Sergeant Atland Browne, Surgical Pathologist Dr. Ronald Child and Agassi’s mother, Barbara Fraser.

Agassi’s battered body was discovered lying in bushes in the area of Highway Trading at Arnos Vale on October 10, 2009. An autopsy revealed he died from blunt trauma to the head.

Foster was arrested and charged, August 2010 after several months of investigations.

Kay Bacchus-Browne, attorney, wants the Jury Act amended to allow for pre-trial examinations and alternate jurors.
