  • Ministerial Statement on Liat in the House of Assembly, St
    MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON LIAT IN THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES ON MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2019 BY DR. THE HON. RALPH E. GONSALVES PRIME MINISTER OF ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES During the recent inter-sessional Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM in St., Kitts and Nevis, the principal shareholder governments of LIAT (1974) Limited provided information to the Conference about the current financial condition and its immediate prospects for survival or development in its existing framework. Unfortunately, some persons attending this CARICOM gathering did not heed my request, settled and agreed upon, not to address this matter publicly until the shareholders and other prospective participating governments had an opportunity to resolve further some thorny issues touching and concerning LIAT. Unhelpfully, some participants at the Conference could not resist the temptation, on leaving the Conference, to alarm the public with declarations such as: “LIAT will run out of cash to operate in ten days”; “LIAT will close down by the end of March 2019 if reluctant non- shareholder governments do not cough up some money;” “Even Ralph is fed up with LIAT”. One or two others who were not at the Conference decided, through hearsay and misinformation, to spread further fear and alarm: One Minister even dusted off an insulting and tired declaration that his government is “not going to be an ATM machine for LIAT.” History, in all its banality through infelicitous language, repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce. The farcical outbursts had a predictably damaging effect on LIAT in terms of reputational damage, uncertainty among the large travelling public across the region, and a rush by LIAT’s creditors for monies owed before the imminent arrival of doomsday.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.
