Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 45th annual meeting of the board of governors of the CDB, he proposed what he called an integrated regional approach to the production and distribution of alternative energy, be it blue or green energy. “Wouldn’t it be a game changer if the Caribbean assumed leadership in alternative energy export? That would have enormous implication for the cost of doing business and development in the region? A leadership role here will do wonders for our competitiveness. Imagine a new OECS space with St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, and Grenada, leading in geothermal energy for the sub-region, Puerto Rico, the French overseas territories and southern islands,” Harris said.

BB King is dead B King, the American guitarist and singer, widely regarded as "The King of the Blues", Bhas died at age 89. King, known for his hits My Lucille, Sweet Little Angel and Rock Me Baby, died in his sleep in Las Vegas. Born in Mississippi, King began performing in the 1940s, going on to influence a generation of musicians and work with Eric Clapton and U2. Once ranked as the third greatest guitarist of all time, he had been suffering ill health in recent months. He was recently taken to hospital with a diabetes-related illness. A former farmhand, King was awarded his 15th Grammy award in 2009 for his album One Kind Favor. He was also inducted into both the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone magazine placed him behind only Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman in its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. 10 • STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER • MAY 1-18, 2015 WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM OOPPIINNIIOONNSS Somersetby Dionne Peart Grove Of Conference Politrics hree generations of the women in the Wright family all dream of leaving their home in a small Jamaican town, but each T and the JamaicanIt is interesting Diaspora to note that since 2005, a woman encounters obstacles and matters of movement calling itself the Jamaica Diaspora the heart that keep her from living the life she Day of Prayer and Fasting - JDOP - and head- wants.
