in judging the soundness of 

the plans. Another partner 

involved in the US$75 million-dollar 

project also flew 

four members of its team 

from Hong Kong to be apprised 

of the plans for the investment. 

Minister of Social Transformation 

and Human Resource 

Development and 

Parliamentary Representative 

for the area, the Hon. Samantha 

Marshall was present 

at the meeting. 

Speaking during a post 

Cabinet media briefing 

held on Monday, Minister 

Marshall gave members of 

the media the latest with regard 

to the project. 

“During the meeting, 

what was presented by Karisma 

was to give us options 

at all scenarios in ensuring 

that we have the proper product 

for our tourism sector. It 

is anticipated that there will 

be two hotels, one with 200 

rooms for families and another 

hotel for 200 rooms for 

adults only. In the adults only 

area, it is anticipated that a 

number of water bungalows 

will be constructed, which 

will bring the rooms to 200”, 

she explained. 

The four-star hotel will 

also feature several pools and 

many restaurants. 

The Karisma Group also 

assured the investors that it 

had secured two flights per 

week that would be sufficient 

to keep 75% of the hotel fully 

occupied. 

The footprint is expected 

to be completed before December 

31th, 2016, and 

construction will commence 

early in the New Year and 

would last at least 12 months. 

A board of directors is to be 

appointed to give direction to 

the new company, and several 

managers are to be appointed.

Telecoms Bill: Minister 


Minister of Information, Broadcasting and Telecommunications, 

the Hon. Melford Nicholas has indicated that responses 

to proposed changes to the long awaited Telecommunications 

Bill have been “positive”. 

The Bill will likely be read a second and third time when 

Parliament resumes on November 29. 

“Hopefully when Parliament resumes on the 29 th , we 

would have concluded talks on the necessary changes to the 

bill, so that it will be read for a third time, allow for debate 

to be continued and passed”, Minister Nicholas said while 

speaking during Monday’s post Cabinet press briefing. 

The telecommunications bill is intended to bring better 

management of the country’s telecoms resources to businesses 

and homes, and to ensure better services to all consumers. 

A draft bill preceded the ABLP’s successful election 

in June 2014, but that draft has been considerably revised.

to an area in St. Johnston’s 

Village. 

A search was conducted 

on the men and the vehicle, 

and the police found a 

brown ladies bag, wrapped 

in a black plastic with 

US$74,760 hidden inside 

the vehicle. 

The money was seized, 

and all three men were arrested 

and taken into custody 

on suspicion of Money 

Laundering. 

The Police Financial Investigations 

Unit, headed 

by Sergeant Donald Sheckle 

has taken over the investigations 

to determine the 

origin of the money, among 

other things. 

Also, the Police are investigating 

a report of robbery 

which took place at 

Windows and Doors located 

at Paynters on Monday. 

It is alleged that three 

men, one wearing a blue 

coverall and the others 

dressed in dark clothing 

with their faces concealed, 

entered the business place 

and robbed the owners 

of an undisclosed sum of 

money. 

The perpetrators also 

made off with the CCTV 

Security monitor in a white 

Toyota motor car, driven by 

a fourth person. 

The alleged incident occurred 

around 11:15 am. 

The Police are appealing 

to anyone who may 

have witnessed, or have 

information about this incident 

to call the Criminal 

Investigations Department 

at 462-3913\14. 

Meanwhile, the Police

from Her Majesty’s Prison, 

having served time repeatedly 

for a number of serious 

offences.

Wanted: Buyer for Jolly Beach Hotel 

By Everton Barnes 

The government is seeking a buyer 

to take over the Jolly Beach Hotel 

following its take-over of the property 

several months earlier. 

Speaking at a post-Cabinet press 

briefing on Monday, Information Minister 

Melford Nicholas said the preferred 

option for the property is for 

an investor to come forward and purchase 

the property outright. 

He noted that it was never the government’s 

intention to retain control of 

the property for any extended period 

of time but to turn it over to private 

hands ‘as soon as a buyer comes forward’. 

Currently, the property is being 


Representatives from 

several government departments 

and agencies are 

attending a workshop on 

labour market information 

system. 

Assistant Labour Commissioner, 

Pascal Kentish 

managed by Elite Island Resorts, the 

company owned by hotelier Rob Barrett. 

Nicholas explained that the hotel 

was owned by the Antigua Overseas 

Bank, which has since gone into receivership. 

Since then, the government converted 

into shares monies owed by the 

property to the Inland Revenue Department 

and other government agencies. 

“It never was the case where the 

government went out and invested into 

the hotel; our ownership comes from 

our conversion into shares outstanding 

monies owed to central government,” 

he further explained. 

said the workshop is being 

sponsored by the CAR- 

ICOM Secretariat through 

the 10th European development 

Fund. 

He said participants 

are drawn from three key 

departments that produce 

labour market information; 

namely, the Statistics 

Division, the Labour Department 

and The Social 

Security Scheme. However, 

participants are also attending 

from the ministry of 

education, the trade unions, 

the Employers Federation 

and the Medical Benefits 

Tenders for road project 


The government will soon be issuing 

tender bids for contractors for work on the 

soon-to-be British-financed road development 

project. 

A government statement said the bidding 

on the project will shortly be completed and 

a contractor selected. Advertising for the 

contractors had to be placed in many newspapers 

outside of Antigua and Barbuda 

According to the statement Works Minister 

Eustace Teco Lake has reported on the 

progress made to access the grant of £13.9 

million Pounds Sterling from the British 

Government. The money is to be used to refurbish 

several highways in Antigua. 

The statement said both the Minister of 

Works and the Attorney General, Steadroy 

Benjamin journeyed to Barbados on 

Monday, 14th November 2016, to sign the 

documents that would ensure access to the 

funds. They travelled to the Caribbean Development 

Bank Headquarters; the CDB is 

managing the project on behalf of the British 

Government. 

The Minister also acknowledged that 

many roads have deteriorated since the rains 

began. The minister assured his Cabinet colleagues 

that when the new roads are constructed, 

they are not to suffer this fate. 

According to Nicholas if there is 

no buyer, then the management contract 

with Elite Island Resorts is likely 

to be extended and the assets will fall 

under the management of the soon-tobe-established, 

National Assets Management 

Company. 

In related news, the government’s 

plan to retake control of the Halcyon 

Cove Hotel lease has been brought 

to a temporary halt. Social Transformation 

Minister Samantha Marshall 

said the matter is before the court to 

interpret certain sections of the lease 

agreement. 

She told reporters the government 

decided to allow this matter to be settled 

before moving ahead. 

Labour Market Workshop being held 

Scheme. 

“Participants are looking 

at how labour market information 

is generated and how 

this information may be analyzed,” 

Kentish explained. 

Following this workshop, 

the next step is for a 

similar workshop but this 

time the target will be administrators. 

It will also be 

followed by the installation 

of a special computer 

software that will make the 

harnessing the information 

much easier. 

He noted that the International 

Labour Organization 

is helping to set up the 

system throughout the Caribbean. 

The workshop is being 

held at the Antigua and Barbuda 

International Institute 

of Technology and it ends 

on Thursday.


Water supply to 

be stabilized soon 


There has been an increase 

in the supply of water 

to some areas. 

According to Information 

and Broadcasting Minister, 

the Hon. Melford Nicholas, 

Minister for Public Utilities, 

Sir Robin Yearwood, recently 

told Cabinet that water in the 

plants has increased significantly 

since June 2014, just 

as promised. 

He also told Cabinet that 

households that are on elevations 

may continue to experience 

shortages because of the 

challenge with insufficiency 

of pressure in the pipes. 

Minister Nicholas further 

notified the public about 

what can be expected with 

the stabilization of power at 

Crabbes. 

“I think with the stabilization 

of power to the main 

facility at Crabbes and with 

the bringing back online of a 

specific generator which will 

exclusively serve the reverse 

osmosis plant at Parham. 

There has been an improvement 

to the supply of 

water, and work is being 

done to rectify the challenges 

to supply in elevated areas”, 

Minister Nicholas said 

during the post Cabinet press 

briefing. 

Both commercial and 

household consumers are 

assured that more reverse osmosis 

plants are coming on 

stream by the end of 2016. In 

2017, the APUA will be expected 

to meet the demand of 

8 million gallons daily. 

Cabinet has also agreed 

that recent rains have not significantly 

increased availability 

of surface water or of water 

from aquifers. It is further 

agreed that rains would have 

to be more sustained and continuous 

to bring drought conditions 

to an end.

Tropical depression forms and 

it is going to be a storm soon 

FLORIDA, United States – As 

forecasters had been predicting all last 

week, a tropical depression has formed 

over the southwestern Caribbean. 

The cluster of showers and thunderstorms 

that was being monitored for 

development over the past week developed 

a full circulation early yesterday 

morning. 

In its first advisory at 4 a.m., the 

National Hurricane Centre (NHC) in 

Miami said the depression which had 

maximum sustained winds near 35 

miles per hour, was about 170 miles 

east southeast of San Andres Island and 

300 miles east of Bluefields, Nicaragua. 

It was stationary at the time, and 

had been for several hours, and the 

NHC said little movement is during the 

day, but it should start to move slowly 

toward the west today. 

If sustained winds achieve 39 miles 

per hour, the threshold for a tropical 

storm will be reached and the system 

would be named Tropical Storm Otto. 

Areas from Honduras to Nicaragua, 

Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia 

will be at the greatest risk for torrential 

downpours and locally gusty thunderstorms 

through this week. 

According to AccuWeather senior 

meteorologist Alex Sosnowski, it is unlikely 

that the centre of the system will 

reach areas from Cuba to Hispaniola 

and Puerto Rico due to a swath of dry 

air to the north. 

However, even if the centre of the 

anticipated system fails to physically 

move across these areas, heavy rain can 

extend well away from the centre. As 

a result, Sosnowski said, people from 

Haiti and the Dominican Republic and 

Puerto Rico should still be prepared for 

localized downpours. 

According to hurricane researcher 

and meteorologist Dr. Philip Klotzbach 

of Colorado State University, the most 

recent tropical storm to form this late 

in the season, which ends on November 

30, was Odette in 2003. The last 

major November hurricane in the Atlantic 

was Hurricane Paloma in 2009. 

According to the NHC, the Category 4 

Paloma was the second-strongest November 

hurricane on record. (Caribbean360)

HOROSCOPE 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 

21). It’s not what you say but 

how you say it — with warmth, 

charm, humility and simplicity. 

This promotes a certain feeling 

around you that makes people 

trust you and want to be near 

you. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If 

it’s not working for you, be bold 

enough to ask for a change. Today 

is filled with potential in the 

form of creative tools and flexible 

arrangements. You can truly 

design your time as you wish. 

Today’s weather forecast 

Antigua and Barbuda 

Overcast with rain showers at 

times. 

High - 84ºF 

Low - 76ºF 

Wind: East 13 mph 

Sunrise 6.15 am; Sunset 5.31 pm 

Monday’s Crossword Solution 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 

19). You’re not sure what is 

stopping you from going forward. 

Are you afraid? Is something 

rubbing you the wrong 

way? Is this just about a mood? 

How frustrating. Reach out to a 

mentor. It’s an important case to 

crack. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). 

Usually, if you don’t know how 

you’re going to complete it, 

you’ll be tempted not to take it 

on in the first place. Today’s opportunity 

is different. You won’t 

get one quite like this again. It’s 

worth a go, if only for the novelty. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). 

It will feel as though everything 

you are doing, you are doing 

quite publicly. In a way, this will 

keep you in check. You strive to 

exhibit grace in all things. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19). 

You’re persuasive, mainly because 

you don’t seem to care 

whether they follow your lead 

or not. You’re doing it for your 

own curiosity, improvement 

and pleasure. They’ll follow 

because you make it look like 

such a good idea. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). 

You can mind your own business 

with the best of ‘em, but 

of course you’re not going to do 

that in the instance where harm 

could come to the defenseless. 

It is in everyone’s best interest 

to look out for general public 

welfare. 

CANCER (June 22-July 22). 

You’re all for representing the 

real you, but which one? The 

wise adjust to bring the personality 

and approach that are most 

appropriate to the situation. 

Today’s success depends on 

bringing the right “you” to the 

moment. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not 

everyone requires the same 

amount of affection, and certainly 

different people prefer 

love to be displayed in different 

ways. You’re in such a lucky 

cycle now to be able to give and 

receive with mutually satisfying 

results. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You 

have no idea how your supportive 

encouragement will make 

someone’s day better. Your sign 

mate Mother Teresa said, “Kind 

words can be short and easy to 

speak, but their echoes are truly 

endless.” 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). 

You often grow in indirect 

ways, mostly by helping others 

get where they want to be. 

Just don’t wait until everyone 

around you is perfectly squared 

away to invest in yourself, because 

that day may never come. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). 

It’s not too much to ask for 

someone to treat you in the way 

you want to be treated. The person 

who made you feel that way 

was probably just ill-equipped 

for what you were asking. Keep 

trying new avenues.



Hoppers denied victory in 

ABFA Premier Division 

By Marver Woodley 

Front-runners Cool and Smooth A/C Delco 

Greenbay Hoppers failed to achieve victory 

for the first time on Sunday evening surrendering 

their first points in this year’s Premier 

Division with hundreds watching at the Antigua 

Recreation Grounds 

It was sadly a game of missed chances as 

Sandals/Imobile Grenades tried to draw first 

blood by rattling the net within the first 10 

minutes, as both sides subsequently produced 

numerous opportunities but all fell short. 

Hoppers, who is also sponsored by 

Glenn’s Pet Paradise, fought to a goal-less 

draw to Grenades in one of the ABFA’s most 

packed games of the season thus far. 

The draw brought Hoppers up to 16 points

There was a low turn out for the Concerned Parents Teachers 

Association ( CPTSA) Wings annual 10 mile Fitness Walk. 

According to Secretary of CPTSA, Lynette Charles, ‘the 

support from our members, parents and the public was not as 

high as years before’. 

Despite the low turnout of under 100 patrons, Charles still 

stated that the event was a fun filled one. 

The walk took persons from the Christ the King High 

school up Old Parham road unto Sir George Walter Highway, 

through Hodges Bay and Cedar Grove into Marble Hill Road 

and ending at Halcyon Beach.

In the preceding encounters Asot’s Arcade 

Parham wasted no time in narrowing the gap 

by defeating SAP. 

Tevaughn Harriette struck twice for Parham, 

with Gen Saliace scoring one also. Peter 

Byers tried his very best for SAP but it was 

little too late. 

The opening clash of the triple-header 

encounter saw Fitzroy Rewinding Piggott’s 

Bullets gain their first victory in the Division 

thanks to a 1-nil win over struggling Liberta 

Blackhawks who continue to sit at the bottom 

of the table. 

The other matches were reduced to draws 

for the four teams with Harney Motors Tryum

Spinners wrap up India’s 246-run victory 

VISAKHAPATNAM 

- India’s bowlers required 

just 38.1 overs to wrap up a 

246-run victory on the final 

day of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, 

as England’s 

resolve - fatally weakened by 

the loss of two wickets late on 

the fourth evening - was finally 

cracked with nothing but 

pride left to play for. The damage 

had been done in a frantic 

morning session in which they 

slumped from 87 for 2 to 142 

for 7, and the tail succumbed 

meekly after lunch, with only 

Jonny Bairstow showing any 

real resistance with 34 not out. 

The margin of victory 

perhaps overstated the gulf 

between the sides - the key 

difference, in every sense, 

was India’s captain and Man 

of the Match Virat Kohli, 

whose aggregate of 248 runs 

single-handedly accounted for 

the deficit in England’s balance. 

But, having fought so 

hard for so long, especially in 

the second half of the contest, 

the speed of their final-day 

demise was dispiriting for 

England, with the third Test 

in Mohali looming large next 

week. 

Contrary to all pre-match 

predictions, the pitch still 

wasn’t spinning dramatically 

by the final day, but it was 

skidding through at a hustling 

pace to match India’s turbo-charged 

over-rate - they 

bowled 33.4 in the morning 

session, including an extraordinary 

ten in the first half-hour 

alone as Ravindra Jadeja and 

R Ashwin tied England in 

knots at a rate of knots. 

The devastating dismissal 

of Alastair Cook, in the last 

Jayant Yadav clipped Ben Stokes’ off stump with a beauty. 

over of the fourth day, had 

left England fearing the worst 

when play resumed, and there 

was an inevitability about the 

identity of the first victim of 

the morning. Ben Duckett’s 

rich strokeplay and inventive 

attitude will doubtless serve 

him well as his England career 

got one to grip in the rough 

outside off, and accelerate 

onto his inside edge for Kohli 

to complete a lobbed catch at 

leg gully. From 75 for 0 after 

50 overs, England were now 

in freefall at 101 for 4 after 

74 - the flip-side of their siege 

mentality being that India 

progresses, but in this were now camping as many 

situation - and particularly as five close catchers under 

against his nemesis, Ashwin every new batsman’s nose. 

- those attributes had roughly Such close attention 

the same value as an INR 500 

note. 

Sure enough, having withstood 

didn’t bother Ben Stokes at 

first. He had been so solid in 

defence in the first innings, 

15 deliveries without and continued his tried-and- 

opening his account, Duckett 

dropped to one knee in a bid 

to hit his way out of a corner, 

but succeeded only in gloving 

a sweep onto his thigh pad and 

into the gloves of the wicketkeeper 

Wriddhiman Saha. As 

he trooped disconsolately off 

the pitch, Duckett might as 

well have walked straight onto 

the England bench. His record 

against Ashwin alone in this 

series made grim reading - 40 

balls, 15 runs, three wickets. 

He’ll be back, but perhaps not 

in Mohali next week. 

Moeen Ali was the next to 

go, his technique against the 

trusted methods in a 33-ball 

stay. But, when India turned 

to the second new ball - and 

in the process, gave Jadeja’s 

fingers a rest after 25 overs 

on the trot had left him with 

the outstanding figures of 34- 

14-35-2 - the lankier offspin 

of Jayant Yadav conjured the 

ball of the match. 

A faster, flatter offbreak 

from around the wicket drifted 

as Stokes played back, 

then spat past his edge to clip 

the outside of his off stump. 

Stokes nodded his appreciation 

as the bowler hurtled 

past in celebration, and when 

spinners looking solid right Root was nailed by Mohammed 

up until the moment Jadeja 

Shami nine balls later, 

the teams might as well have 

shaken hands there and then. 

Root had once again been 

England’s most accomplished 

technician on the day. But, 

having survived an early reprieve 

when Kohli spilled a 

sharp chance at leg slip, he 

was pinned on the crease by 

a zippy nipbacker from Shami 

and sent on his way for 25 

from 107 balls. 

There was time for one 

more breakthrough before 

lunch, as Adil Rashid topedged 

an attempted ramp over 

the slips, to give Shami his 

second wicket of the innings, 

and the denouement came in 

a resigned procession after the 

resumption. 

Zafar Ansari completed a 

match every bit as ignominious 

as Duckett’s when Ashwin 

skidded a flat offbreak 

into his off stump for a duck, 

before Jayant produced a carbon 

copy of England’s demise 

in the first innings, trapping 

Stuart Broad and James 

Anderson with consecutive 

lbws. Anderson completed 

his comeback Test with a king 

pair, remarkably the first by 

an England batsman for 110 

years. 

That wasn’t the sort of 

history that Cook’s men had 

targeted at the start of the 

tour, but with three matches to 

come and some clear signs of 

life amid the ruins of today’s 

effort, there will be chances 

to atone in the coming weeks. 

But a few correct calls at the 

toss would be a start. (ES-
