SEXUAL HARASSMENT 

BILL WILL RETURN 

By Everton Barnes 

Legislation is going to parliament 

soon to outlaw sexual harassment in the 

Attorney General, the 

Hon., Steadroy Benjamin 

workplace. 

Attorney General, the Hon., Steadroy 

Benjamin said another attempt will be 

made at the next sitting of the House of 

Representatives to introduce the Sexual 

Harassment Act to make it a crime to 

abuse people at the workplace 

“It seeks to protect employees in the 

workplace, and sometimes some employers 

too, from being sexually harassed. It 

will also prevent allegations of from being 

made when there is; (a) no grounds 

for such allegations and (b) where there 

grounds for the report, to take corrective 

steps to deal with the problem,” he explained. 

The minister said there have been 

complaints not just in Antigua and Barbuda 

but in other Caribbean territories 

that there is a problem with sexual harassment. 

He disclosed that the OECS put together 

a team to look into the matter and 

sub-region. 

Benjamin said Antigua and Barbuda 

has a tradition of being a leader within 

the Caribbean and that why it wants to be 

one of the first territories to adopt the bill. 

“We want to be leading in presenting 

such legislation designed to protect and 

The government attempted to have the 

first reading of the bill when the House 

of Representatives met last Tuesday, but 

citing the relevant Standing Order rules, 

Opposition Leader, Baldwin Spencer, 

said the move was improper and Benjamin 

was forced the withdraw the bill and 

in collaboration with the CARICOM provide a safe environment in the workplace 

wait until the next meeting of the House. 

Implementation Agency for Crime and 

Security (IMPAS) came up with a draft 

bill that is to be adopted throughout the 

so that people can work without 

threat of being sexually harassed,” he 

declared. 

This time, he promised there will be 

no administrative impediments to the bill 

having its first reading. 

The first town-hall meeting on the CCJ/Privy Council takes place on Monday September 5, 2016 at the Multi-Purpose Cultural Centre starting at 7:30 pm.

CCJ President visits St. John’s Pentecostal 

President of the Caribbean 

Court of Justice (CCJ), Sir Denis 

Byron 


President of the Caribbean 

Court of Justice (CCJ), 

Sir Denis Byron, worshiped 

Sunday morning with parishioners 

at the St John’s 

Pentecostal House of Restoration 

Ministries. 

He used the opportunity 

to speak about the court, its 

composition and its mandate. 

In speaking to the importance 

of freedom and human 

rights, Sir Dennis says 

that the court is the champion 

for human rights, justice 

and fair-play. 

He went on to assure the 

congregation that everything 

is in place with the CCJ and 

that it is comparable, if not 

superior, to any other court. 

According to Sir Dennis, 

the court from the very beginning 

has been utilizing 

technology so that many 

people are able to stay in 

their own country and access 

the CCJ without having to 

travel to Trinidad. 

He thanked the leadership 

of the church and the 

congregation for the invitation 

and for the opportunity 

to speak. 

Sir Denis was in Antigua 

for a meeting of the Council 

of Legal Education which 

was held at the St James’s 

Club last week. 

Meanwhile, several miles 

away, Constitutional expert, 

Dr Alexis addressed the 

Swetes Wesleyan Holiness 

Church and the All Saints 

Pentecostal Church. In his 

brief address, Dr Alexis 

drew biblical parallels to the 

situation where Antigua and 

Barbuda is now contemplating 

delinking from the Judicial 

Committee of the Privy 

Council (JCPC) and to accede 

to the CCJ. 

He noted that laws were 

first given to man by God 

from the creation story in 

Genesis to Moses receiving 

the Ten Commandments on 

Mount Sinai. In reference to 

the JCPC, Dr Alexis noted 

that during the hundreds of 

years of slavery, it remained 

silent on the inhumane and 

atrocious conditions under 

which the Africans were 

forced to live.

A fight has left three Parham siblings 

with criminal charges. 

The trio appeared before Magistrate 

Ngaio Emanuel recently, and were granted 

bail. 

Charles and Chanella Roberts were allegedly 

engaged in a brawl with their brother 

Yannick Stephenson on August 22nd. 

Stephenson is said to have sustained 

wounds in the incident, serious enough for

the National Coordinating Committee, Ambassador Dr. Clarence 

Henry 

And Opposition Leader, 

Hon. Baldwin Spencer and 

Head of the National Coordinating 

Committee, Ambassador 

Dr. Clarence Henry 

who exchanged views this 

morning on the way forward 

to ensure that all stakeholders 

are continuously engaged in 

the process. 

The meeting, which took 

place at the Office of the National 

Authorizing Officer 

was agreed during Tuesday’s 

debate in Parliament on the 

Constitutional (Antigua and 

Barbuda) Referendum Bill, 

2016. 

Speaking following the 

meeting Ambassador Henry 

reaffirmed that “there is 

much work” to be done as expressed 

during the launch of 

the NCC’s website on August 

23rd, 2016, while reiterating 

that the town-hall meeting 

marks a turning point in the 

education campaign. “The 

meeting will allow members 

of the public the opportunity 

to have their questions answered 

as there is still much 

confusion and misunderstanding 

surrounding both 

institutions,” he noted. 

The NCC Chairman said 

he is firmly of the view that 

as the Committee holds similar 

gatherings in different 

communities, meeting, listening 

and discussing the 

issues, that the gulf between 

facts and fiction will be narrowed. 

“We will seek to clear the 

doubts, clarify misconceptions 

and bring a greater level 

of assurance to the general 

public that their opinions are 

being heard”, he explained. 

According to Amb. Henry, 

the emphasis will be 

about advancing Antigua 

and Barbuda and ensuring 

that through education and 

knowledge-sharing, the people 

can demonstrate their 

maturity to advance the society 

and the economy. “We 

aim to ensure the region and 

the world that Antigua and 

Barbuda is a country steeped 

in strong participatory democracy 

as was evident in 

this week’s debate in the 

House of Representatives. 

So on Monday night, down 

at Multipurpose, we shall let 

the voices and ideas contend. 

I encourage all to come and 

join the conversation; it’s 

good for Antigua and Barbuda.”

was set at $5,000, whilst Stephenson obtained 

bail in the principle sum of $3,000. 

They are booked to reappear on November

Sticky-finger teen cries crocodile tears 

By Deborah A. Parker 

The bitter tears shed by a Bolans 

Village youth in District B recently, 

were referred to as crocodile tears. 

The 18-year old offender appeared 

before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel, 

charged with break-in, entry and larceny. 

At approximately 3 a.m. on August 

28th, the youth broke into his cousin’s 

house and stole TT$5. 

The occupants of the house were reportedly 

alerted by a noise, and when 

they investigated, the offender was 

found hiding under the house. 

He was ordered to hand over what 

he had stolen, before he ran off. 

Incidentally, only recently this said 

offender stole a television set from the 

The Rotary Club of Antigua

recently donated gift certificates 

to the family of 

Bernadine Richards Grays 

Hill, who recently lost their 

home in a fire. 

The gift certificates are 

redeemable at both Stephen 

B. Shouls and Happy Kids 

and will go towards some 

of the immediate needs of 

the family such as school 

uniforms and supplies. 

School bags were also donated 

through the Mount 

St. John’s Medical Centre 

Backpack Initiative. 

“When tragedy hits, 

those in our community 

join together to provide 

support to those affected 

and that includes Rotary 

Sundown – And we’re 

grateful to have partners 

said cousin. 

Since the item was recovered, the 

complainant had asked for the matter 

to be discontinued. 

Although it was only TT$5 that was 

stolen, the victim said he would not be 

merciful this time around. 

“You see he talk bout he crying, is 

crocodile tears that. I came here today 

because I mean that he must learn a lesson,” 

the complainant told the court. 

“Is my cousin, and I always tell him 

when he needs anything, ask me for it, 

don’t steal, but he not listening,” the 

complainant stated further. 

He added, “He broke into my bus 

and stole $50, the same draw he took 

the $5 from, he stole $2,000 from it, he 

stealing animals from people, he just 

like Happy Kids, Stephen 

B. Shouls and MSJMC on 

board who are helping in a 

big way to make this possible”, 

said Herald Rolland, 

RCAS President. 

“This is not the first time 

our club has assisted families 

in need and when we 

were asked to get involved, 

terrorising the community.” 

The youth, who had to be asked 

several times to control his emotions, 

was sent to Her Majesty’s Prison for 48 

hours. 

Magistrate Emanuel in the meantime 

told the youth, “You not even 

stealing the right money; TT$5 doesn’t 

have any value here, so you going jail 

for nothing. 

“But when you have sticky fingers 

you take up everything.” 

The teen will return to court for sentencing 

on September 29th. 

A probation report has been ordered, 

and the teen must also write an 

essay under the topic ‘Why prison life 

is not for me,’ and submit same to the 

court.

US flights to Havana in time for Christmas 

HAVANA, Cuba – Now that Jet- 

Blue has completed the first regularly 

scheduled commercial flight between 

the United States and Cuba in more 

than half a century – landing in the city 

of Santa Clara on Wednesday – two 

other American airlines have kicked 

off the announcements on when flights 

will land in Havana. 

Delta Airlines and Spirit Airlines 

will both begin flying to the Cuban capital 

on December 1. 

They are the first of the eight airlines 

that received approval for routes 

to Havana, to announce a start date for 

regularly scheduled service. 

Spirit Airlines yesterday started 

selling tickets for its twice daily nonstop 

flights between Fort Lauderdale 

and Havana’s José Martí International 

Airport. 

“We are excited to be a part of history 

with the addition of Havana to our 

growing network,” said Mark Kopczak, 

Spirit Airlines’ Vice President of 

Network Planning. 

In addition to the nonstop service, 

Spirit plans to provide connecting service 

from an additional 20 US cities via 

Fort Lauderdale. 

From September 10, Havana-bound 

travellers will be able to purchase tickets 

to fly on Delta, which will offer daily 

service from Miami, New York and 

Atlanta. 

CASTRIES, St. Lucia –

employment agency and/or 

Spirit Airlines and Delta Airlines will make their first flights into Havana on the same day. 

“This December, we look forward 

to serving customers with the excellent 

customer service and operational 

performance they expect from Delta 

while reuniting families and supporting 

a new generation of travellers seeking 

to engage and explore this unique destination,” 

said Nicolas Ferri, Delta’s

of Transportation confirmed that 

Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, 

Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Jet 

Blue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines 

and United Airlines had been given 

the green light to operate Havana 

flights. Under a new air services agreement, 

a total of 20 daily routes between 

the US and Cuba’s capital have been 

awarded to the airlines. 

The routes are subject to Cuban regulatory 

approval. 

Americans can travel to Cuba only 

if their trip falls within one of 12 designated 

categories, including family 

visits, educational activities, religious 

activities, humanitarian projects, professional 

research and professional 

meetings and others. (Caribbean360) 

Sandals Resorts warns of imposters 

individuals professing to represent 

the company in human 

resource matters in the island. 

In a statement issued this 

week, it reminded the public 

that all human resource matters, 

including the hiring of 

personnel, are handled only 

by human resources teams attached 

to each resort. 

“No organization or individual 

is authorized to act on 

behalf of Sandals Resorts International 

unless otherwise 

announced,” it said. 

“The public is advised to 

ignore and report any third 

party agency that maliciously 

professes to represent the 

company’s interest in this regard.”

T&T conglomerate going after 

more Bajan businesses 

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados 

– Approximately eight 

months after losing the bid 

to acquire Banks Holdings 

Limited (BHL), Trinidadian 

conglomerate ANSA McAL 

is about to acquire two other 

companies in Barbados. 

President And Chief Executive 

Officer of ANSA

announcement, saying: “We 

are currently in negotiations 

right now to acquire two 

other Barbadian companies, 

which in itself represent significant

could be finalized

Thousands flood streets of Venezuela’s 

capital in biggest protest in decades 

CARACAS, Venezuela – Opponents 

of Venezuelan President Nicolas 

Maduro claimed to have mobilized 

a million demonstrators in the biggest 

rally in decades, vowing weekly mass 

protests to demand a referendum on 

ousting him from power. 

Police deployed in their hundreds 

to keep anti-government protesters 

angry at food and medicine shortages 

apart from Maduro’s supporters, who 

vowed to defend his “socialist revolution.” 

The rallies raised fears of violence 

in the oil-rich South American state, 

where anti-government protests in 

2014 led to clashes with police that 

left 43 people dead. 

The leader of the opposition Democratic 

Unity Roundtable, Jesus Torrealba, 

told AFP it was the “biggest 

rally in recent decades” with “between 

950,000 and 1.1 million people” 

taking part. 

“We either come out to march or 

we will die of hunger. 

“We are no longer afraid of the 

government,” said one demonstrator, 

Ana Gonzalez, 53. 

The rallies come at a highly volatile 

time for Venezuela, where a 

plunge in prices for oil exports has 

led to shortages, violent crime and 

outbreaks of looting. 

“This is a historic march. Today 

begins a definitive stage in this struggle,” 

Torrealba said. 

Thousands of Maduro supporters 

in red T-shirts and caps meanwhile 

rallied in the central Plaza Bolivar 

yelling to their leader: “The people 

are with you.” 

Maduro estimated his supporters’ 

turnout at up to 30,000. 

“Today we have defeated a coup 

d’etat,” he told the crowd. “They 

have failed once again. The victory is 

ours.” 

The opposition blames Maduro for 

the economic crisis and wants a referendum 

on removing him from power. 

He has branded the effort a right-wing 

“coup.” 

“We are here at the call of our 

president, to defend the revolution,” 

said 37-year-old housewife Carolina 

Aponte at the pro-government rally. 

The authorities arrested three opposition 

leaders in the days ahead of 

the march. Senior opposition figure 

Henrique Capriles said on Thursday 

that two mayors had also been arrested. 

Thursday’s marches remained 

mostly peaceful, finishing in the 

mid-afternoon, but isolated clashes 

between demonstrators and security 

officers did occur, with some violent 

incidents reported in other cities. 

After the protest, state security 

agents fired tear gas against protestors 

who tried to block the main highway 

of the city after a group of masked 

men threw stones at some officers. 

Opposition leaders and human 

rights organizations also reported outbreaks 

of violence in Maracay and 

San Cristobal. 

The MUD said in a statement it 

would hold two further nationwide 

demonstrations: at electoral offices on 

September 7, and a “national mobilization 

day” on September 14. 

The referendum’s timing lies at the 

heart of the battle. 

If it takes place before January 10 

and Maduro loses, new elections must 

be held. If he loses in a recall after 

that date, he would simply hand power 

to his hand-picked vice president. 

Maduro said Thursday he had prepared 

a decree to strip lawmakers in 

the National Assembly of their immunity. 

He accused the opposition 

speaker of the legislature, Henry Ramos 

Allup, of inciting violence. (Digital

Cayman Islands 

added to Italy’s 

“Whitelist” 

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman 

Islands – The Cayman 

Islands has been added to 

Italy’s so-called whitelist 

of countries with good tax 

governance, giving the 

country’s financial services 

industry a boost. 

Cayman Finance, the 

private sector organization 

that represents the financial 

services industry, says the 

development will, among 

other things, allow Cayman 

Islands funds to invest 

in Italian securities such as 

bonds and securitization instruments 

and receive interest 

payments gross of withholding 

tax. 

Chief executive officer 

of Cayman Finance, Jude 

Scott, said Cayman funds 

will also be able to benefit 

from full exemption from 

Italian tax on profits attributable 

to them where they 

own more than five per cent 

of an Italian Real Estate Investment 

Fund. 

He said this decision was 

a positive step forward for 

Cayman’s financial services 

industry in Europe, particularly 

on the heels of the European 

Securities and Markets 

Authority’s (ESMA) 

recent deferral of its recommendation 

on the Cayman 

Islands’ application for 

the Alternative Investment 

Fund Managers Directive 

(AIFMD) passport. 

“We are optimistic that 

the pending legislation for 

the Cayman Islands AIFMD 

regime will be in place late 

2016/early 2017,” Scott 

said. “Once the remaining 

legislation is enacted, we see 

no impediments hindering 

Cayman’s AIFMD passport 

application. The creation of 

this regime will offer wider 

opportunities for Cayman 

domiciled funds and managers 

in Europe.” 

“The inclusion of the 

Cayman Islands on Italy’s 

whitelist echoes to the global 

financial services industry 

its recognition of our robust 

framework to combat corruption, 

money-laundering 

and tax evasion but as importantly, 

Cayman’s commitment 

to comply with 

international standards of 

transparency and exchange 

of information,” Scott added. 

He added that Cayman’s 

funds industry could play an 

increasingly important role 

in providing liquidity and 

credit to Italian businesses, 

to help offset the challenges 

faced by Italian banks as 

a result of the recent global 

credit crises. 

“Cayman funds have

New Alzheimer’s treatment discovered 

NEW YORK, United 

States – An experimental 

Alzheimer’s drug may have 

brought researchers one step 

closer to preventing the disease 

altogether. 

The new drug targets, 

then destroys and removes 

amyloid plaques, toxic proteins 

that clump together and 

build up in the brain. Most 

aging brains have these 

buildups, but not nearly at 

the level linked to early-onset 

Alzheimer’s. 

Massachusetts-based 

pharmaceutical company 

Biogen developed the drug, 

aducanumab, and funded the 

study. The results were published 

Wednesday in Nature. 

Though researchers remain 

“cautiously optimistic” 

due to the small trial size, 

neurologist and study co-author 

Stephen Salloway told 

the magazine: “This is the 

best news we’ve had in 25 

years of doing Alzheimer’s 

research.” 

One hundred sixty-five 

people with mild to moderate 

Alzheimer’s participated 

in the study, and were given

a monthly intravenous dose 

of either aducanumab or a 

placebo. Over the course of 

a year, 103 patients received 

varying doses of the drug. 

PET scans revealed that 

those who received the highest 

dose showed the largest 

degree of reduction. Scans 

of the 40 placebo patients 

were largely unchanged. 

“We are pretty certain 

of the fact that the antibody 

reduces the amyloid plaques 

and in some ways gets rid 

of the majority of it,” Alfred 

Sandrock, senior author of 

the paper, told Time. 

Researchers said patients 

also exhibited slower rates 

of cognitive decline. 

The drug does have some 

side effects, including brain 

swelling. But Salloway, 

who’s a professor of neurology 

and psychiatry at Brown 

University, told Time that 

regular brain scans could 

monitor swelling and prompt 

treatment when necessary. 

“Compared to other studies 

published in the past, the 

effect size of this drug is unprecedented,” 

Roger Nitsch, 

one of the paper’s researchers 

and a professor at Zurich 

University, told The Independent. 

If the results are confirmed, 

experts say aducanumab 

could be a major 

“game-changer” in the 

prevention of Alzheimer’s. 

Larger trials are planned 

through 2020. (New York

Samsung issues Galaxy Note 7 

recall over exploding batteries 

SEOUL, South Korea – 

Samsung is recalling millions 

of new Galaxy Note 

7 smartphones worldwide 

after reports that the devices 

can catch fire while 

charging. 

The massive recall of 

one of Samsung’s flagship 

devices is an embarrassing 

setback for the world’s 

biggest selling smartphone 

maker. The Note 7 was unveiled 

just a month ago, 

and big rival Apple is expected 

to show off its new 

smartphone next week. 

Samsung said today it 

had found a problem with 

the battery in some of the 

phones and was halting 

sales in 10 countries, including 

South Korea and 

the US. It will offer customers 

a new product for 

free in the coming weeks to 

replace the 2.5 million Galaxy 

Note 7s that have been 

sold. 

“As of September 1, 

there have been 35 cases 

that have been reported 

globally and we are currently 

conducting a thorough 

inspection with our 

suppliers to identify possible 

affected batteries in the 

market. 

“However, because our 

customers’ safety is an absolute 

priority at Samsung, 

we have stopped sales of 

the Galaxy Note7,” it said 

in a statement. 

Samsung said devices 

in China don’t appear to be 

affected because it used another 

battery supplier. But 

it was unclear if models 

sold in China would nonetheless 

be recalled. 

The giant South Korean 

company originally 

said it would take about 

two weeks to prepare the 

recall, but later announced 

Note 7 users in the U.S. can 

exchange their device for a 

Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 

Edge, starting next week. 

It will also refund the cost 

of Note 7-specific accessories. 

Samsung is giving 

Note 7 users a $25 gift card 

or bill credit for the inconvenience. 

More details about how 

the recall programme will 

work will be announced 

shortly, the company said. 

At a news conference, 

company executives declined 

to comment on exactly 

how much replacing 

all the devices would cost. 

“It is a big amount that 

is heartbreaking,” said 

Koh Dong-jin, president of 

Samsung’s mobile communications 

business. 

Samsung had the biggest 

share (22%) of the 

global smartphone market 

in the three-month period 

ending June 30, according 

to research firm IDC. By 

comparison, Apple held 

12%. 

Samsung benefited from 

the popularity of the Galaxy 

S7, IDC said, and the 

Galaxy Note 7 was expected 

to keep that momentum 

going into the second half 

of the year. 

The phone was well received 

by reviewers, drawing 

attention for several 

unique features such as an 

iris scanner, which allows 

users to unlock the phone 

with their eyes. (CNN

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

the other person is proudest of

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). 

You’ll be entrusted with secret

of how interesting or uninteresting 

this secret actually 

turns out to be. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). 

One-sided relationships are 

toxic by design. There should

This simple balance is the cornerstone 

of relationship health. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). 

Remember that tidbit that

8 teams to contest 

Rural West Invitational 

By Vanroy Burnes 

Eight (8) will contest the rural west Invitational pre-season 

football tournament which kicks off on Monday, 5th September. 

Coordinator of the event Freeston Ireland said the tournament 

will serve as warm-up or preparation for the ABFA 

2016/17 which is expected to kick off at the end of the month. 

The eight teams taking part includes two Premier Division 

teams in Cool & Smooth Empire and newly promoted Harney 

Motors Tryum, four first division teams in Fort Road, Villa 

Lions, Potters Tigers and Otto’s Rangers, while the second 

division teams includes St. John’s United and Police. 

Coordinator Ireland said the idea was to have a rural west 

cup to include all the teams in that area such as Empire, Hoppers, 

Five Islands, Lion Hill Golden Grove, Hatton Stars, Hill 

Top and Tryum, but most of them pulled out citing different 

reasons, thus it was diverted to an invitational tournament. 

In the first set of matches, Fort Road will play Potters Tigers 

at Radio Range on Monday at 4.20 p.m., while Empire 

will come up against St. John’s United at King George at the 

same time. 

The Parliamentary Representative for the Rural West The 

Hon. Baldwin Spencer is the lone sponsor of the tournament.

Everton “Mano” Cornelius said school 

sports should act as a feeder system for 

all the various sporting national disciplines 

in this country. 

Cornelius said so on his renewed call 

for more input into the planning and running 

of the Coca Cola Schools Track & 

Field Championships, Cornelius himself 

a former national athlete made the call 

two years ago also noted that schools 

sports in general should manage by a 

board. 

According to the athletics boss, putting 

a board in place which of course will 

have an organizing committee which will 

deal with schools sports primarily and 

this could in clues the Ministry of Sports 

and the Athletics Association and any 

(2013 - 2014) and national 

swimmer, has been awarded 

a Sports Scholarship (Swimming) 

by the University of 

Trinidad and Tobago (UTT). 

Jasmine, dubbed a “Rising 

Star” in national athletics in 

Antigua and Barbuda, left for 

Trinidad after writing CSEC 

in 2014 and then attended the 

College of Science, Technology 

and Applied Arts of Trinidad 

and Tobago where she 

earned an Associate Degree 

in Journalism and Mass Communication. 

The Scholarship, which includes 

housing, transport and 

a stipend, allows Jas-mine to 

study for a Bachelor’s Degree 

in Sports Management 

while attempting to fulfill her 

enormous potential in swimming, 

athletics (especially as 

a long-distance runner), basketball

definitely needed to pay more attention to 

our schools sports. 

In more athletics news, a decision on 

the planned upgrade of the country’s lone 

track facility YASCO Sports complex in 

the making. President of the athletics association 

Everton Cornelius is set to meet 

with International track builder sometime 

in the coming weeks on the way forward 

for the track. 

Cornelius said he will be meeting with 

a German track builder to have a look at 

YASCO since there has been an out- cry 

for the sport state of the track. He noted 

Brian Justin of the University 

of the Fraser Valley, BC, Canada. 

Jasmine sent her thanks 

to Coaches Edith Clashing of 

WAR and Lucaso Brumant, 

and the Wings Sports Club, 

and her gratitude to the people 

of Antigua and Barbuda, 

especially her friends in 

the Wadadli Aquatic Racers 

Club. She also congratulated 

her WAR friends and all the 

other athletes who made it to 

the recent Rio Olympics. 

She said, “Representing 

Antigua and Barbuda was 

the highlight of my sporting 

career so far. I want to contribute 

more than just being 

an athlete. I enjoyed coaching 

and teaching children and 

want to become a professional 

sports manager.” 

Cornelius: Schools sports should act as feeder system 

that while in Rio for the 2016 Olympics 

there was some discussions with members 

of PASO who try to explain to him 

that the radius of the track should pose no 

problem. 

He said the German track builder will 

get on to person in the IAAF and then get 

back him because he is not a 100% sure 

PASO information is correct and so the 

second opinion is needed. 

The YASCO track is not being recognize 

by the world governing body 

for athletics “IAAF” so our athletes any 

times ran on it will not be recognize since 

it is uncertified. Cornelius said the IAAF 

is trying to standardizing all the tracks, 

but there may be some confusion. We are 

trying to get YASCO up to international 

standard. The Government had pledge its 

support for the project after so many concerns 

were raised time and time again.
