10 defendants ordered
to stand trial on charges
Three await hearings on May 15
Ten people charged with corruption
offenses by the Special Investigation
and Prosecution Team have been ordered
to stand trial while three more
await a hearing May 15 to determine
their fate.
Supreme Court Justice Margaret
Ramsay-Hale ruled April 20 that SIPT
has enough evidence to proceed with
trials of Lisa Hall, former ministers Lillian
Boyce and Samuel Been on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the government,
and Quentin Hall and Earlson
Robinson on charges of accepting proceeds
of a crime.
The justice ruled April 24 that attorney
and Progressive National Party
Leader Clayton Greene must stand trial
on charges of money laundering.
On April 17, four defendants did not
contest that SIPT had enough evidence
Simons outlines his PNP
leadership candidacy
Would rescind warrant for Michael Misick
Though he has been seeking leadership
of the Progressive National Party
for some time, Carlos Simons recently
gave a glimpse of his current run for
party leader and potential premier of
the Turks and Caicos Islands.
“We live in very perilous times, and
the people have been crying out for a
leader to match these times,” Simons
said April 23 on Robert Hall’s Expressions
program on Radio Turks and
Caicos. “Well look no further. You
have found him and his name is Carlos
Simons, born in Salt Cay, grew up
in Grand Turk, educated in Britain and
lives in Provo. I’ve walked with kings
and princes but prefer the company and
the struggles of the common folks. The
search for your leader is over. If you will
have me, I am your man!”
Simons’ candidacy takes aim at the
U.K. and its interim administration
and their policies since taking over the
country in 2009.
If elected premier, Simons said he
would stop paying the Special Investigation
and Prosecution Team (SIPT)
that is investigating corruption allegations
against members of Michael Mis-

said he also would rescind an Interpol
arrest warrant for Misick, who says he
is seeking political asylum in an unnamed
country to avoid political persecution.
The TCI paid $10 million for the first
year of the investigation, but the U.K.
gave a one-time grant to reimburse that
expense. His Excellency the Gov. Ric
Todd has said he would ask the U.K.
again to pay for expenses in 2011-12 but
that the TCI would have to pay if that
money did not come through.
Simons said he also would seek to extract
the TCI from $260 million in loan
guarantees the U.K. provided to pay off
a mountain of debt by the former elected
government and to cover subsequent

Beaches’ Stewart defends hiring Jamaican workers
Beaches Turks and Caicos
Resort Villages and Spa will be
hiring more than 100 Jamaicans
because efforts to hire local
islanders have fallen short,
says Butch Stewart, chairman
and founder of Sandals Resorts
International.
A recent story in Stewart’s
Jamaica Observer newspaper
announcing the addition of Jamaicans
to the TCI resort staff
sparked concern from the Ministry
of Border Control and Labour.
“If true, this would not be in
line with recent discussions between
the Ministry and Beaches
Resort, as Beaches Resort
has never indicated that there
is such a major staff shortage
which cannot be met from
within the Turks and Caicos Islands,”
the ministry said in an
April 20 statement.
“Beaches resort management
have also, along with the Turks
and Caicos Hotel and Tourism
Association, been working
with the ministry to identify
jobs for people affected by the
(government’s) voluntary severance
programme, in a process
which is still going on.”
Stewart answered the ministry’s
call for an explanation
with a press statement of his
own April 23, saying the resort
— the country’s largest employer
with 1,247 people — is
currently understaffed by 13
percent.
“The labour shortage at
Beaches simply cannot be
eliminated utilizing the employment
pool in the Turks and
Caicos Islands alone, and our
need to recruit from overseas is
out of necessity,” according to
a Beaches document accompanying
Stewart’s statement.
“In accordance with the Ministry
of Labour’s immigration
ordinance, we look to recruit
from the unemployment register
in the Labour Department
as the first option,” the Beaches
statement said. “Last year we
scheduled a total of 554 interviews
from the unemployment
register, recruiting 154 persons
(46 percent) from those interviewed.
In 40 percent of scheduled
interviews, the interviewee
failed to attend.”
“Thanks to our ‘Belongers
First’ recruitment policy, the
Belonger and Permanent Residence
Certificate workforce
has doubled since 2009. Last
year, we recruited a total of 219
persons. 154 were Belongers,
and a further 27 were PRC
holders. This year we have recruited
70 individuals, 61 of
them were Belongers or PRC
holders.”
Beaches also has intern
partnerships with local high
schools and the TCI Community
College. “Last year, 86 students
were attached to various
internship and summer student
programmes at the resort.
Many of these students joined
the resort as permanent team
members after graduation,”
Beaches said.
Stewart, a Jamaican, said he
was saddened by “the anti-Ja-

publication of all but the outcome of the hearings.
None of the evidence discussed can be
published, but prosecutors have said in previous
hearings that the charges involve fraudulent
Crown land transactions, money laundering
and bribery.
Ramsay-Hale’s April 20 order set dates in
June and July for prosecutors and defendants to
submit arguments on various matters, including
the prosecutors’ request that defendants be
tried by a judge without a jury.
The Constitution which has been suspended
since August 2009 but will soon be replaced by
a new document had guaranteed the right to
criminal trials by jury in the Supreme Court,
but no one has been denied that right so far.

deficits caused by government overspending
and the worldwide economic downturn.
Another target for Simons would be the governor’s
order that the National Insurance Board
pay $10 million to government to cover medical
reimbursements that former elected governments
never sought. That order currently is being challenged
in court.
Simons, a Queen’s Counsel attorney, was appointed
to the Consultative Forum in 2009 but resigned
in March 2010 to announce his candidacy
for PNP leader. In August 2010, Clayton Greene
defeated Simons.
Since then Simons has made no secret that he
would challenge Greene, who is facing money
vember 2010 gave that option to prosecutors as
well, which is similar to the law in the U.K.
Under the new law, a judge would make the
decision if a trial would be held without a jury,
but that ruling can be appealed to a three-judge
Court of Appeal. The judge who makes the ruling
then would not be the judge who tries the
case.
Former Premier Michael Misick has not been
charged with any crimes, but he has refused
to report to SIPT for questioning. An Interpol
notice has been issued for his arrest, but Misick
says he is seeking asylum in an undisclosed
country to escape political persecution.
He has called on the U.N. commissioner of
human rights to intervene in his case, claiming
violations by the U.K. and the interim TCI government
that suspended elected government
and took control of the country in 2009.

laundering charges from the Special Investigation
and Prosecution Team (SIPT). Greene has
said he will not seek re-election in May.
So far, the only other candidate is Dr. Rufus
Ewing, who left his job in March as director
of Medical Services for the Ministry of Health
and Human Services and announced his candidacy
April 11.
Simons said Ewing is “a bright, well-spoken,
charismatic young man with fire in his belly,”
but Simons said the times demand someone
with more maturity and experience to “make
the case for the TCI, both legally and otherwise,
and to press that case in whatever forum
it needs to be taken, whether to the FCO in London
or to the United Nations in New York.”
maican sentiment”some have
expressed.
“The decision to recruit team
members from overseas is not a
preference, it is an absolute necessity,”
Stewart said. “However,
the fact of the matter is that
we have to fill certain positions
in order to run the resort, and
if Turks and Caicos Islanders
are not willing or able to fill
them, we have a responsibility
to find people who are.”
Carlos Simons, a candidate
for leader of the Progressive
National Party, called Beaches’
plans “scandalous” and accused
the interim government
for allowing it to happen.
“It is clear to me that the interim
administration which
ought to be protecting the TCI
workforce has abandoned its
responsibility to do so,” Simons
The Ministry of Finance is
seeking public input until May
25 on a 23-page report explaining
proposed features of value
added taxes in the Turks and
Caicos Islands.
The new type of consumption
tax is expected to be implemented
April 1, 2013, to raise more
revenue and spread the tax burden
more evenly in the islands.
VAT is considered a stable tax
that is more resistant to economic
downturns than the current
system that relies heavily
on customs duty and property
sales tax.
The VAT rate has not been set,
but the Green Paper estimates a
rate between 8.5 and 12.5 percent

“How else can you explain

other unemployed TCI workers?”
Simons was referring to the
government’s voluntary severance
programme in which 400
employees elected to take cash
equal to as much as two years’
pay to leave their government
jobs. The programme aimed to
reduce government spending
to match revenues and eliminate
deficit spending, one of
the requirements for the U.K.
to allow return to elected government.

Gov. takes leave, attends FCO
leadership conference on OTs
His Excellency the Gov. Ric Todd left the
Turks and Caicos Islands on April 23 on leave
until April 30, when he will attend the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office’s annual leadership
conference in London.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for me to
promote the people and business of the TCI to
our peers both in the U.K. and across the other
Overseas Territories,” the governor said in an
April 23 statement. “We share a unique heritage,
and meeting together in this way helps
us to find new ways of improving the lives of
our citizens and their economies by looking
at what we can learn from, and do for, each
other.”
Government Chief Executive Officer Patrick
Boyle was sworn in as acting governor until
Todd’s return May 7.
Todd is expected to meet with governors
and administrators from the U.K.’s 13 other
Overseas Territories to discuss the progress of
the approaching FCO’s Overseas Territories
White Paper, FCO strategy implementation
as well as improving financial management
and human rights. Minister Henry Bellingham
will join the conference, and Department
for International Development Minister Alan
Duncan is expected to attend.
Caribbean governors will meet separately
to discuss matters of mutual interest such as
building prosperity, economic reform and regional
integration.
Two days will be dedicated to FCO-wide plenary
sessions on diplomatic excellence, security,
prosperity, the U.K. economy and an update
on the London Olympics. On May 2 Todd is
scheduled to attend a workshop being held by
Lord Howell and Sir John Major on the subject
of U.K. engagement with the Commonwealth
and priorities for the Diamond Jubilee Fund.
There will be a series of outreach sessions
covering passport repatriation, procurement
procedures and governance structures, developing
tertiary education for overseas territory
citizens, and financial services.
Baby meets his 911 lifesaver
When Antonio Santus
called Provo’s 911 Centre back
in February, he was a devastated
man.
He was convinced he had
just watched his one-monthold
baby son die in front
of him and was requesting
the body be removed to the
morgue.
Little Hareph had suddenly
stopped breathing and was
showing no signs of life whatsoever.
In Antonio’s mind, only a
miracle could now save his
child’s life, and it came in the
shape of Nerissa Fortune, who
answered the call.
The 911 supervisor immediately
calmed the distraught
father and set about giving
clear and precise instructions
as to how to administer cardiopulmonary
resuscitation
(CPR) in an attempt to revive
the child.
After a few agonising minutes,
the youngster started
breathing again, by which
time paramedics had arrived
on the scene.
“It was very hard to hear to
begin with because, understandably,
both dad and mum
were very emotional,” Nerissa
explained. “But once I was
able to calm Antonio down, I
was able to pass on the basic
instructions.
“This involved telling him
how to do CPR which is a very
specialist procedure on such a
young child. At the same time
we made an emergency call
for an ambulance and I just
kept talking to Antonio and
telling him as to what to do.
“Thankfully, Hareph began
to breathe again, which
was obviously a wonderful
moment for us all. I just kept
talking and reassuring Antonio
until the ambulance arrived
and then the paramedics
took over.”
Two months later, Hareph is
now a happy, fit and healthy
baby boy who shows no ill
effects from his dramatic ordeal.
And there were tears of joy
when dad, mother Angeline
Petigny, Hareph and his twin
brother Harephson, went to
meet and thank Nerissa at the
911 Centre in William’s Plaza.
“We are so happy to meet
Nerrisa and thank her for
what she did,” Antonio said.
“Because of her and the grace
of God, our little boy is alive
today.
“When I made that call it
was to ask for Hareph to be
taken to the morgue. In my
mind he had passed away. But
Narissa used all her amazing
skills and training to help
save his life, and she will always
have a very special place
in our hearts and in Hareph’s
life.
“Thank you so much to
Narissa and all the 911 staff.
They do an incredible job, and
I just don’t have the words to
express how grateful we are.”
Narissa, who presented a
cuddly toy on behalf of the 911
staff, insists she was “just doing
my job.”
“Of course it feels good to
know that I helped save a little
baby’s life, and Hareph will
always be special to me,” she
said.
Narissa Fortune and baby Hareph.
“But it’s what I and my colleagues
are trained to do, and
I was simply doing my job.
Antonio also did an incredible
job too and he deserves
much of the credit.
“The 911 centre provides
a wonderful service, and I’m
sure the outcome would have
been the same whoever happened
to answer the call that
day.
“It’s just heart-warming
that this incident had such a
happy ending and it was a real
honour and a pleasure to meet
the family and I thank them
for taking the trouble to come
and say hello. It means a great
deal to me and all of us at the
centre.”
Meanwhile Hareph’s sudden
lose of breathing remains
a mystery with doctors unable
to determine exactly what
happened.
“No one is really sure what
it was and why it happened,”
said mother Angeline. “All we
know is that our precious son
is fine now, and we thank Narissa
for that.”
New Crown land fees
to take effect May 1
New fees for administrative
transactions involving Crown
land will take effect May 1.
The fees for application for
lease, license and easement over
Crown land, surrender of lease
and other charges are aimed at
recovering administrative costs.
“In order to ensure we are operating
effectively and are able
to sustain and improve our current
levels of service, we have
had to explore different funding
options,” said Commissioner of
Lands Tatum Clerveaux in an
April 23 press release. “By introducing
application fees and
other charges we ensure that the
costs of the services provided,
which include administration
and officer time, are recovered
crown land Fees

f
directly from those utilizing the
service, and are not borne by the
entire general public, including
those who are not engaged in
these transactions.”
“The new charging regime
will also give us the opportunity
to set targets by which we
can monitor the level and quality
of the service given. We will
be able to enhance our customer
service and provide our customers
with faster document
turn around time.”
Some of the charges are already
introduced under the

remaining charges will be introduced
in May and reviewed
within six months.

Development giving boost

workers are being employed.
With a large scale project like
Sailrock, Malcolm said hiring
skilled and unskilled workers is
an indication it will have a large
impact on the local economy,
particularly in the future as it
continues to grow.
The firm is not only hiring
local workers, but also training
them, hoping to make an
impact for the future. Gardiner
said he only hires outside workers
when they need special skills
not available on island, but he is
ensuring local workers are be
trained in those skills.
“Even though I may not be
here doing the work, you will
have a lot of local people on
South Caicos who will then
know how to do a little bit of
masonry, carpentry and steel
work,” Gardiner said, something
he believes will go a long
way to helping the future economy
of the island.
Although D&D Construction
is a North Caicos firm, Gardiner
said most of his past work
experience had been on Provo.
Since the construction boom
went bust in recent years, business
has been slow.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for me,” Gardiner
said of doing a project of the
magnitude of Sailrock. “I have a
chance to employee a lot of locals
on an island where we need employment.”
The Sailrock project is a large
scale development on the island
of South Caicos that will ultimately
consists of vacation villas,
a hotel and includes restoration
of historic buildings around
the island. “This project will
keep me busy for 2012 and most
likely beyond,” Gardiner said.
Ted Weldon, Sailrock Developer
Ltd., said D&D Construction
was selected through a competitive
bidding process. “We
were most impressed by Delano
and his organization, and their
ability to perform on the job.”
To date Weldon said they have
exceeded expectations.
Although nicknamed “the Big
South,” the island of South Caicos
is relatively small in relation
to the largely developed island of
Providenciales. Weldon says he
and partner Colin Kihnke place
the sustainability of the island as
a large priority in their overall
development plan.
“We are developing our project
in a way that is respectful of
the wonderful surroundings and
beauty of the islands,” he said.
“We are also respectful of creating
opportunities for the local
community to share in the success
of it all.”

The Providenciales Chamber
of Commerce has increased its
efforts as a result of the organization’s
mounting concerns
about the impact of new government
policies on the business
community and other negative
factors impacting local commerce.
These include regular meetings
with the country’s Chief Financial
Officer Hugh McGarel-
Groves that members have
found beneficial and whose suggestions
have been taken into
account.
“It is vital that we ensure the
business community is not overlooked
and while we have had to
fight for some of the face-time
we are getting with certain in
country and visiting groups, our
membership can rest assured
that The Chamber is not resting
on its laurels,” explained Chamber
President Tina Fenimore.
“The sweeping changes in
some 50 ordinances demand
vigorous attention; and we
have been giving them just that
with our Executive team meeting
more frequently and going
above and beyond what has been
required in previous years.”
Among the extra activities of
the Provo Chamber has been the
preparation of several positions
papers, but much more has been
underway.
“Over the next few days, weeks
and months the public will be
excited at the ‘coming out’ of
our behind the scenes work and
what it means for business development
and its future in the
islands,” Fenimore said.
The chamber plans to be
heard more regularly on radio,
seen more regularly on television,
appear more regularly in
print and continue to build its
online presence. It has a Face-
book page and is working on revamping
its website platform to
be even more interactive.
“Additionally, I am working
with our secretary and administrator
at the Provo Chamber
to launch an e-newsletter where
the work of the Chamber can
be more regularly accessed and
assessed by our members and
the public,” Fenimore said.

FSC action plan proposes
deposit insurance ordinance FortisTCI and AEP Limited
The Financial Services Commission has published
a five-year plan that proposes improvement
to its role of supervising insurance, securities,
trusts and banks, including a deposit
insurance ordinance.
No details of the deposit insurance ordinance
are included in the plan.
The lack of deposit insurance caused most depositors
in the Turk and Caicos Islands Bank Ltd.
to lose nearly all of their money when the local
institution was closed in April 2010 by the FSC.
Liquidation is still ongoing, but customers hold
little hope of recovering most of their losses.
An FSC report said the bank’s senior management
caused the small indigenous bank to fail,
but the FSC should have stepped in sooner to correct
years of persistent problems.
That report, plus recent reviews by the International
Monetary Fund, the Toronto Centre
and the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force,
pointed out shortcomings of the FSC and what
was needed to solve problems and meet international
standards. A draft plan including those
recommendations was presented Feb. 17 to
stakeholders including the Bankers Association,
Association of Licensed Trustees, the Insurance
Managers Association and the Insurance Association.
The plan announced April 25 will be available
on the FSC’s website (www.tcifsc.tc) and be periodically
updated.

deal of work by the FSC and its partners in the
financial services sector, and represents a summary
of our objectives for the next five years,”
said FSC Chairman Errol Allen. “Completion
of these objectives will provide the TCI with an
extremely robust and practical legislative and
regulatory framework designed to support the
industry into the future.”
The plan calls for improved reporting, more
staff and training for the FSC, and a number of
new laws. For banking and trusts, new legislation
will include the Financial Services Commission
Ordinance, Banking Ordinance, Bank Insolvency
Ordinance, Deposit Insurance Ordinance and
Trustees Ordinance, according to the plan.
The FSC has transferred its Banks and Trusts
department and the Finance and Administration
department to its Providenciales offices, and has
begun relocating its Insurance department.
“The Action Plan charts a positive way forward
for the sector and describes the steps that will be
taken to ensure the TCI keeps pace with the latest
international regulatory standards,” His Excellency
the Gov. Ric Todd said in the announcement.
“I am sure the private sector will rise to
the challenges ahead and work with the FSC to
ensure that TCI’s reputation as a financial services
centre is enhanced.”
Scotiabank customers in Turks and Caicos now
have a chance to win $100 when they bank online.
In a program that began April 16, Scotiabank
clients can go online to learn about the benefits
and features of online and mobile banking.
By watching videos, customers earn ballots and
will be automatically entered into a draw. Clients
can up their chances even further by signing up
for online or mobile banking where they will earn
more ballots and have a higher chance of winning
the draw taking place June 30.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our customers
to discover the bank’s award winning mobile
and online banking services and to learn how
to use these tools to their advantage,” said Cecil
Arnold, Scotiabank country head. “Online and
mobile banking are convenient ways for our clients
to do their banking whenever and wherever
they want while ensuring the safety and security

Regulatory Filings for the year

Electricity Commissioner.
Reflecting economic weakness
of the local economy, the
utility reported overall growth
of 0.3 percent in energy demand.
All sectors showed a
decline in sales except for
commercial and small hotels,
driven primarily by a strong
2011 tourist season, according
to the utility.
Sales for large hotels decreased
because of extended
closures following Hurricane
Irene, and residential sales
decreased by 2 percent as residents
increased energy conservation
efforts, the utility said.
The company reported earning
profits of $8.7 million and
spending $26.37 million for
capital investments, including
a second larger, more efficient
generator for improved generating
efficiency, reduced maintenance
costs and improved reliability.
It also finished a new
corporate headquarters and
customer service centre and
built an 800,000-gallon fuel
storage facility.
“Although we had an extremely
busy year, the company
and its employees rose to
the challenge,” said Fortis TCI
CEO Eddinton Powell. “Major
headwinds included the continuing
global recession and
the impact of Hurricane Irene
which resulted in the temporary
closure of some of our
commercial customers.”
“Despite the economic recession,
we continued to be a
significant investor which provided
much needed buoyancy
to the local economy. Our investments
in both physical and
human assets are part of the
Company’s long term strategy
to ensure that the TCI has one
of the best electricity systems
in the world.”
“The current spike in fuel
prices, which has driven up
the cost of electricity to our
customers, remains one of our
biggest challenges,” he said,
citing a reduction in fuel usage.
“We are committed to increasing
fuel efficiency even
further.”

Digicel sponsors TCI youth to Rugby Training Camp
Three young aspiring Turks and Caicos Islanders
have been given the once in a lifetime opportunity
to travel to Dublin Ireland to participate in the elite
Leinster Rugby School of Excellence training camp
courtesy of Digicel who sponsored the club with
$6,000.
The three young men, Lincoln Outten and Franco
Mompremier, both of the Clement Howell High
School on Providenciales, and Ken-James Mullins of
Raymond Gardiner High School on North Caicos developed
a passion for the sport of rugby through the
TCI Rugby Football Union.
Now they will receive professional coaching over a
one-week period which will see them developing core
rugby skills which they will learn to perform under
challenging circumstances.
“Digicel has made a serious commitment to assist-
Harbour Club Villas receive
prestigious TripAdvisor Award
Providenciales Harbour Club Villas
and Marina has received the 2012 TripAdvisor
Travelers’ Choice Award in
the category of Top 25 Hotels for Service
in the Caribbean.
“This is an amazing achievement
for a small tourist establishment” says
Barry Morton who owns and runs the
villas with his wife Marta. “It shows
that you don’t have to be big or on
Grace Bay to be recognized as a great
place to book your vacation when visiting
Provo.”
The resort and marina was voted
number 11 in the Top 25 Hotels of the
Caribbean for its exceptional guest services.
“Our guests are like friends, and this
award is coming from those who know
us best, our travelers and visitors that
have posted unbiased reviews of their
ing our young people to develop through education
and sports,” said Ava-Dayne Fulford, head of marketing
for Digicel. “This programme will not only
allow these young men to walk away with invaluable
training, but it will also give them exposure to the
professional rugby world and also broaden their horizon
to allow them to see the big picture of what they
can aspire to. ”
She commended the work of the TCIRFU which
has been providing a nurturing environment for
young men interested in the sport.
TCIRFU President Keith Burant says he is pleased
to team up with Digicel and looks forward to a continued
partnership.
The Leinster Rugby School of Excellence training
camp will take place July 30-Aug. 3 at the Kings Hospital
Grounds in Ireland.

at Harbour Club,” Morton said.
The Travelers’ Choice Award given
out by TripAdvisor is based on the
opinions and reviews of millions of
travelers and awarded to only a few
select hotels and establishments. Harbour
Club Villas and Marina is now
one of these distinctive properties.
Harbour Club guests can enjoy the
peaceful and intimate cluster of six,
one bedroom villas, a pool and gazebo,
a marina all nestled in a tropical setting
with cooling breezes off Flamingo
Lake from the north and the marina
on the south with easy access to diving
and fishing.
It was originally landscaped by
Nicky Turner and Dudley Forbes of Island
Landscaping.
Volunteers “shine”
in Earth Day cleanup
In the Turks and Caicos Islands,
Earth Day means a day to make the
“Beautiful by Nature Islands” shine.
Members of the Turks and Caicos
Hotel and Tourism Association
(TCHTA) and the community across
Providenciales came out April 21
to take part in the TCHTA’s 4th annual
cleanup campaign called “TCI
Shines.”
The event attracted the participation
of approximately 240 persons
who came out with one objective — to
clean up the highways and byways of
Providenciales and bring an awareness
to Earth Day and keeping Mother
Earth litter free.
The initiative, spearheaded by the
association and its Project Committee,
focused on involving the community
at large. Many were amazed at
how much trash was being collected.
“This year’s objective was to involve
the wider community through various
organizations, like churches, schools
and civic groups, or just to have people
clean up around their homes on this
day,” Association Executive Stacy Cox
said.
“The event for us is always bittersweet,
and we are happy to clean up
our communities but disappointed
that we are still collecting so many
bags of garbage,” she said.
Cox said the initiative collected 750
bags of garbage in addition to microwaves,
golf clubs, drums and shopping
carts.
“For this cleanup we focused on
awareness and outreach in the community,
as the more people involved
in a cleanup campaign the more people
will begin to think twice about littering,”
Cox explained.
Cox also offered special thanks to
the members of the TCHTA, BEST Institute,
Enid Capron Primary School,
Mills Institute, TCI Middle School,
TCI Youth Department, Gods Gem,
Power 92.5 FM and 102.5 KISS FM,
Harvest Bible Church, The Church of
God of Prophecy and members of The
Filipino Community for doing their
part to help TCI Shine.
National pride will be on display
June 1-4 as the country celebrates the
first Turks and Caicos International
Flag Festival.
Home to individuals from more
than 50 nations, the Turks and Caicos
Islands have a diverse community.
The Providenciales Flag Festival
Committee is hoping the International
Flag Festival will bring people of
all nationalities and cultures together
for a weekend of fun and cultural exchanges.
The event will also give each
person an opportunity to display their
national pride.
“We realize that we live in a multicultural
society, and our neighbours
are now closer to us then they were
20 years ago,” said Abigail Delancy,
president of the Provo Flag Festival
Committee. “The Turks and Caicos
share its culture with over 50 different
nationalities and this is why we believe
we should celebrate together. We rec-

ognize that at the end of the day all of
us here in TCI are working towards the
same goal, which is to make the Turks
and Caicos Islands a better place.”
Flag Fest 2012 will include a kickoff
party and a beach picnic. The grand
event will be a motorcade and flag
party including the Little Miss Flag
Fest Pageant at the National Stadium
on Venetian Road on Providenciales.
During the festivities, prizes will be
awarded for the Best Flag Outfit and
the Biggest Flag at the parade. A soccer
match between Haiti and Jamaica
will take place on Sunday, June 3, and
a Beach Party and Food Festival will
be held June 4 at the Children’s Park
on the Lower Bight Road.
Musical guests will include DJ’s
from the TCI, Dominican Republic,
Jamaica, Trinidad and Haiti. The featured
band will be local favorites Lee
& the Force.

In an effort to create awareness
on proper waste disposal
and introduce children to good
conservation and recycling habits,
the Turks and Caicos National
Trust led a tour of the recycling
plant on Providenciales
to celebrate World Earth Day
on April 23.
In cooperation with TCI
Waste Disposal Services Ltd.,
through owner and manager
Ramez Hakoura, grade 5 and 6
students of Precious Treasures
School saw how the recycling
process is done on Provo’s lone
recycling centre in Blue Hills.
They learned first-hand why
recycling is important and how
they can contribute to taking
care of Mother Earth by recycling.
“This year’s Earth Day theme
is ‘Mobilize the Earth: Living
Green.’ This trip is a good way
of addressing recycling, reuse
and waste reduction firsthand,”
said Jonathan Sayao,
the trust’s education officer.
“We at the Turks and Caicos
National Trust believe that
fostering green habits with
students today puts them on a
path towards a lifetime environmental
sustainability, and
what a fitting occasion to teach
them about recycling education
than today, Earth Day,”
Sayao said.
The tour of the facility gave
the students an opportunity
to investigate the what, where,
how and why of recycling. The
students discovered what happens
after garbage collection
and where plastics, bottles and
cardboard end up after they go
through a series of machines.
After World Thinking Day
in February when the same
set of students were presented
with talks on environmental
protection and recycling
by National Trust staff, it was
time to see recycling in action
on Earth Day.
“I am amazed,” said 6th
grade student Arneah Moises.
“I learned that by recycling,
waste products such as glass
and plastic bottles can be used
to make other beneficial products
while at the same time
benefitting our environment.”
Current Miss Earth Turks
community
Recycling education for the next generation
and Caicos Alison Capron also
gave encouraging words to the
students, promoting recycling
interest among the kids. She reinforced
that recycling works,
how important it is to get materials
into the recycling bin,
and enticed them to take pride
in TCI’s “beautiful by nature”
environment. With her was
former title holder Tameka
Deveaux-Francis.
“We hope to make this the
start of a thriving awareness
among our youth in the area
of environmental protection,”
Sayao said. “It is hugely important
as this will surely help
kids make sound and thoughtful
choices that will positively
influence our local and global
environment.”
Miss Earth Turks and Caicos Alison Capron is helping promote
recycling interest among kids.
Update on Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in the TCI
The Ministry of Health and Education says
there have been a total of forty-nine cases of Hand
Foot and Mouth disease in the Turks and Caicos
Islands since the beginning of the outbreak in
early March.
All those affected were under 8 years of age and
have completely recovered from the illness.
HFMD is a contagious disease that is easily
passed from one child to another. It is transmitted
by direct contact with nasal secretions, saliva
and stool of infected individuals. HFMD is commonest
in child care settings due to frequent contact
with soiled diapers and children putting their
hands in their mouths after being in contact with
secretions of infected individuals.
HFMD occasionally occurs in adolescents and
adults. Symptoms include some or all of the following:
painful sores in the mouth, rashes on the
hands and feet, which may be associated with blisters,
fever, headache, feeling generally unwell or
irritable, runny nose, and/or sore throat.
HFMD is mostly a mild and self-limiting illness
lasting for a few days. However, there are more severe
forms of the disease which are associated with
neurological complications as a result of meningitis
(associated with fever, headache, and neck
stiffness) and encephalitis (resulting in paralysis)
which are uncommon.
The ministry continues its ongoing HFMD Prevention
Campaign in collaboration with the Environmental
Health Department of the Ministry
of Environment and Home Affairs. The campaign
emphasizes the importance of practicing proper
hygiene, especially hand washing and diapering
in child care settings. The enhanced surveillance
activities which began at health care facilities and
schools since the start of the outbreak are ongoing
as the ministry and department continue to monitor
the situation.
There is no specific treatment for hand-footand-mouth
disease. Symptom control, such as the
use of paracetamol (Panadol or Tylenol) for fever
and pain relief, is often all that is necessary.
In some cases HFMD can cause a sore mouth
and throat, which makes it difficult to swallow. It
is therefore important to maintain adequate fluid
intake to avoid dehydration. If oral fluids are not
tolerated and the infected individual becomes dehydrated,
admission to hospital may be required
for intravenous fluids to be administered.
Symptoms usually resolve within 10 days.
Meanwhile, you are urged to report to your health
care provider if you suspect that you or your child
has any signs or symptoms of HFMD.
H.J. Robinson High students
about to leave “comfort zone”
Dressed in business attire,
this year’s H.J. Robinson High
School 5th form students faced
interviews and heard advice
from successful professionals
about their next step after
graduation.
The exercise — under this
year’s theme “Dare to leap; a
world of opportunities await”
— is the very last programme
offered to the final year students
by the school’s Guidance
Counseling Department
before graduation. It is geared
towards helping students become
worthwhile individuals
who can function well and effectively
in any given environment.
“This exercise is the school’s
way of helping to further prepare
students graduating for
the world of work; a world
outside their comfort zone of
the high school environment,”
said Guidance Counselor Vivian
Otuonye. “This may include
the commencement of
tertiary education, gainful
employment, entrepreneurship
or just waiting for a ‘little’
time, while remaining jobless
until something worthwhile
happens.”
The students were all
dressed in formal work attire
for the programme and undergone
formal interviews done
by Human Resource Department
officers selected from all
around the Turks and Caicos
Islands. The programme facilitators
were responsible and
respectable individuals from
within the community, who
may be deemed as role models
for the youth of the TCI.
The topics for the day and
the facilitators were:
▶ Keynote speaker Dr. Jameika
Harvey, a young leader and
Dr. Jameika Harvey
dentist
▶ Law enforcement; crime
and consequences by Inspector
Jerome Caley
▶ You determine your destiny;

▶ Entrepreneurship; small

of Public Service Management)
▶ Inter view skills; formal
interview of all final year students
by HR Officers James
Astwood, Keisha Williams,
Kermit Williams and Edwin
Taylor.
H.J. Robinson High School 5th form students attended the
annual Exit Readiness Exercise on April 20.

Last chance to help bring Bad Boys of Dance to TCI
Ten years ago when a group of young dancers
came here to perform for the first ever Turks and
Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation event, who
could have imagined how successful they would
be today.
Rasta Thomas’ Rock the Ballet starring the Bad
Boys of Dance has been selling out shows across
the world. From Berlin to Sydney, thousands line
up to see the fusion of classic ballet technique
blended with the excitement of musical theatre,
hip hop, ballet, tap, contemporary, gymnastics
and more.
Versatile and gutsy, these talented performers
stretch the bounds of dancing with athletic
jumps, endless turns and endearing individuality.
Featuring the sensational talents of six Bad
Boys and one Pretty Girl, this show will surely get
you on your feet and smiling.
As TCFAF celebrates its 10th year, its members
are excited to bring back to the islands this amazing
group of performers. “I cannot express how
thrilled we are at the opportunity to bring such a
world-renowned group to the Turks and Caicos,”
TCFAF founder Barbara Pankhurst told the fp.
Following their sold-out performances in St.
Petersburg, Russia, and dozens of other sold-out
European and Australian shows, the Bad Boys of
Dance are scheduled to hit the stage of Brayton
Hall on Providenciales on May 18.
“But we are only able to achieve this with a tremendous
amount of support from the community,”
Pankhurst said. The TCFAF has been using
online fundraiser website kickstarter.com to help
raise the $25,000 needed to bring this world-renowned
dancing ensemble to the TCI.
Not only will residents and guests have the
opportunity to enjoy performances set to some
of the biggest hits from U2, Michael Jackson,
Prince, Queen, Coldplay and Lenny Kravitz, they
are also offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
for young local dancers to attend a workshop
with the Bad Boys of Dance.
“This is an amazing opportunity for our young
dancers, something most youths would never
have the chance to experience anywhere, let alone
on an island such as ours,” said Pankhurst.
The TCFAF has been able to raise more than
$14,000 to date, but time is running out to get
the additional $10,000-plus needed to make this
dancing dream a reality.
Individuals or companies can visit kickstarter.

the Ballet to the TCI.

and we are calling it Pop-Ballet.”

Highlighting the differences between men and
women in both comical and emotional ways, Malcolm
and Mortimer put together an entertaining
evening of local theatre enjoyed by hundreds of residents
and guests.
The cast of 20 performed in front of a packed house
during Friday night’s opening performance presented
by the Turks and Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation
(TCFAF). After word got out about the quality
of the show, Saturday’s performance had a sold out
crowd.
The play revolved around two couples, Jessica and
Tom, played by Mortimer and Jean Sagesse, who are
on a double date with Jessica’s parents, May and Pete,
played by Josie Smith and Bernard Rodriguens. During
the dinner, the two couples share stories depicting
the nuances between men and women.
The first story included Raymondson Azemard,
Matthew Williams, Asa Williams and Jean Sagesse
who were brilliantly funny explaining the differences
in how the two sexes speak. Later in the production
Williams also had audiences roaring with
laughter as a man who gets himself in a bit of trouble

direct a theatrical hit
play continued from page 13
a second performance, Kidik, playing
Nursie, ends up marrying the distinguished
King Lear, Dave Volkert, after
the young Juliet, LaTrivia Grant, refuses
to marry the older King.
One of the highlights of the play included
Malcolm herself, who delivered
an impressive dramatic performance
opposite Tiara McTaire. Both women
had audiences believing McTaire’s character,
a battered wife, had made her husband
disappear into thin air.
Sonia Bueno de La Torre opened and
closed the play as Puck, who is frustrated
by modern relationship books who
claim to help couples settle relationship
differences.
The universal script was splendidly
adapted into a hilarious night of come-
f
p
dy, by directors Malcolm and Mortimer,
both veteran TCFAF Panto actors. This
was also Mortimer’s first time screen
writing. She was responsible for stitching
together the vignettes by the narrator.
Equally impressive to the acting was
the set design. The two act programme
included 10 different scenes depicting
the nuances between men and women
in various fun and amusing ways.
“The show was a great success, and
we are very grateful to Kim, Cora, all
the actors who did an amazing job,”
said TCFAF President Lynne Pettman.
“But the show was only made possibly
thanks to the support of over two dozen
behind the scenes volunteers and many
members of the community who generously
support the foundation and all its
performances.”
LaTrivia Grant played a very convinving pregnant woman who along with
husband Kelly Tabares crashes the honeymoon of Cristina Zacchero (L) and
Raymondson Azemard (R).
Cora Malcolm (L) gave a impressive performance opposite Tiara McTiare.
Asa Williams had audiences bursting
with laughter.
Laura Leoncini played an adorable
waitress who served up some laughs.

Horoscopes
aries (March 21—april 19)
Don’t get ahead of yourself this week. There are
some changes in store, but you must be patient if you
want them all to be positive. Something you thought
might not happen is waiting in the wings.
Taurus (april 20—May 20)
Someone is ready to give you all they have. It’s important
to be honest with this person, and to know
that you can trust them. They only want the best
things for you, and this has been true for a long time.
Gemini (May 21—June 20)
If you’re not being a good friend, it’s time to change
that. Stop neglecting someone who is important in
your life. This will pay rewards both emotionally and
professionally.
Cancer (June 21—July 22)
Your emotions belong to you. You seem to have forgotten
that of late. How you react to people is entirely
up to you; you have complete control. If your emotions
continue to control you, be prepared to lose something
very big.
Leo (July 23—aug. 22)
The fat lady was warming up, but you have managed
to save the day yet again. You might feel like you need
more appreciation, but keep in mind that the people
that count all know what you did.
Virgo (aug. 23—sept. 22)
Time to regroup. You knew this time would come, so
accept it and be prepared to move on. You already know
which path to take; just be brave enough to take it.
Libra (sept. 23—oct. 22)
If you’re ready for some fun, the time is now to let
your hair down. Take a long weekend or just a day off
and forget about your troubles for a while. Get a massage
or go out on the town, because you deserve it.
scorpio (oct. 23—Nov. 21)
Someone you have been thinking about is going
to show up in your life very soon, but you knew that,
didn’t you? They might have some news that you won’t
be sure how to take at first. Rest assured, it’s all good.
sagittarius (Nov. 22—Dec. 21)
The cold shoulder you recently received had nothing
to do with you. It had everything to do with the person
who gave it to you. Forgive and forget and move on.
The week ahead should prove fortuitous.
Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 19)
If you missed a recent celebration, that’s OK. You
didn’t actually miss much. Focus on your work and professional
life for the foreseeable future. It’s important
that nothing take you by surprise at work.
aquarius (Jan. 20.—Feb. 18)
Your heart is in the right place, and whoever doesn’t
understand that can be written off. You do not have to
explain yourself. They are trying to change things for
their own benefit, not yours. Don’t let them.
Pisces (Feb. 19—March 20)
You recently had a lot of thinking to do, but it’s
good that you spent the time considering everything
that has recently happened. Things should be much
clearer going forward, which is exactly what you need
to succeed.
