On <strong>the</strong> Cover<br />
Turks & Caicos Islander Dominique Rolle made a special<br />
trip to <strong>the</strong> Caicos pineyards (under <strong>the</strong> guidance<br />
<strong>of</strong> B Naqqi Manco) to shoot this thriving “parent tree”<br />
that is producing cones and seeds that are <strong>the</strong> hope <strong>of</strong><br />
reforesting <strong>the</strong> area. See <strong>the</strong> inspiring story on page 38.<br />
Dominique is one-half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> industry-changing media<br />
firm Caya Hico Media (www.cayahicomedia.com).<br />

Correction:<br />
In <strong>the</strong> Winter 2019/20 issue, <strong>the</strong> article “Ice Cream in<br />
Parrotice” commented, “A previous restaurant that sold<br />
ice cream had gone dormant . . .” Longtime North Caicos<br />
entrepreneur Karen Preikschat quickly dispelled this<br />
notion! She says, “We started making homemade ice cream<br />
at Silver Palm Restaurant in 2012/2013 with a borrowed<br />
ice cream maker. We tested and created our signature<br />
all-natural flavours: Toasted Coconut, Butter Pecan, Rum<br />
& Raisin, Vanilla and Chocolate, all best-sellers. We also<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer Strawberry, Red Raspberry and Blackberry sorbet. In<br />
2014 we opened Silver Palm Bistro at Horse Stable Corner<br />
in Whitby. My husband Poach has made some changes to<br />
<strong>the</strong> bistro and is now <strong>of</strong>fering local cuisine at <strong>the</strong> Two Fat<br />
Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Restaurant. We are a seasonal business, never<br />
dormant. Our clients are still enjoying our ice cream at<br />
<strong>the</strong> restaurant where we serve scoops, cups and pints. We<br />
have customers bringing coolers from Provo to fill with<br />
our ice cream! See our Trip Advisor site for <strong>the</strong> restaurant<br />
and bistro for comments about our ice cream.”<br />
