The St Helena Independent Volume XIII, Issue 50, Friday 16th November 2018 4 Grand Competition Win £500 with SHELCO

The new owners of SHELCO have come to the conclusion that the name of the proposed development at Broad bottom does not sound attractive enough to make a mark in the market place. Sometimes, having the right name can make the difference between success and failure. SHELCO have decided to award a prize of £500 for the person on St Helena that suggests a new name for the proposed golf course development at Broad bottom. The name should be easy to pronounce, and be attractive to potential purchasers. If you’re suggested name is chosen, or a close derivative of it, then you will receive a cash prize of £500. If two people coincidently choose the same name and that name is selected, the prize money will be split. To avoid sharing, keep your suggestion secret. Your suggestions and you can choose multiple names if you wish, should be sent with your name , to Saint FM via the email [email protected] or in a sealed envelope delivered to Saint FM Office

Closing date for the competition is 30 November 2018

The St Helena Independent Volume XIII, Issue 50, Friday 16th November 2018 5 SENIOR AIRLINK DELEGATION VISITS ST HELENA A meeting was held on Saturday, 10 November 2018, to undertake the first annual review of the contract to provide an air service to St Helena. Chief Financial Officer in Airlink, de Villiers Engelbrecht, joined representatives from the St Helena Government (SHG), Enterprise St Helena (ESH), and Legislative Council for the meeting. Representatives from the Depart- ment for International Development (DFID) joined via telephone link.

The meeting was chaired by SHG Deputy Airport Contracts Manager, James Kellett, who led discussion on a wide range of topics. Agenda items included a review of the annual performance of the contract in its first year, marketing activities actioned to date, plans for 2019 and beyond in respect of commercial and marketing activities, and discussion on various operational matters. James commented: “We are all pleased with the first year of operations and in particular to have a service that experienced a small surplus; this has only been possible due to the close cooperation of SHG, Airlink, airport staff and subcontractors, and ESH. We now turn our focus to using the lessons learnt from this initial year as the service grows in the second year of operations”.

The meeting also included discussion around ongoing operations from Johannesburg, future plans for the air service, as well as planning for the additional flights due to commence in December 2018.

Chief Executive for Economic Development, Dawn Cranswick, said: “The Review Meeting provided some useful insights into Airlink’s promotion of St Helena as one of their destinations, and we will be working together on co-ordination of our activities for the future.” Airlink’s CEO and Managing director, Rodger Foster, added: “The occasion of the first anniversary of the St Helena air link is worthy of celebration, especially so given that during the first year of operations over 6,000 customers experienced the time efficiency of air access. We are delighted to have delivered safe and reliable air services and to have transformed access to and from St Helena. Airlink is privileged to have a close working relationship with the St Helena Government and we will continue to look for ways in which the service may be improved and in particular in addressing the wishes of our customers.”

SHG, Airlink, DFID and ESH will continue to meet on a regular basis to monitor the performance of the service, plan for future changes, and to discuss operational matters as they arise.

The St Helena Independent Volume XIII, Issue 50, Friday 16th November 2018 6 How two local craft business are starting to export With the focus on ‘Export’ in the latest SEDP, two local craft businesses are taking the first steps to making genuine St Helenian products available to the online Market.

G-Unique Designs, our local jewellery business has teamed up with GK Crafts, our local stationery & souvenir provider to offer St Helenian gifts and gift sets on the online market - currently being distributed from the UK via the G-Unique website at www.g-uniquedesigns.com.

The idea began as a result of requests for the products made by G-Unique Designs & GK Crafts to be sent off island to Saints overseas.

However, collaboration between these two businesses is not a new concept, as G-Unique & GK Crafts have been working together since 2011 when GK Crafts approached G-Unique about selling their greeting cards in the G-Unique Boutique. Since then the relationship has grown to providing collabora- tive gift sets of jewellery and stationery on island.

So a natural progression has now taken place whereby the duo businesses have started looking to a market outside of St Helena who appreciates the unique nature of hand-made gifts.

With G-Unique already having an established website with e- commerce facilities (whereby anyone with an international debit/credit card or a Paypal account can place an order) - it seemed the most logical step. Any products listed on the website have already been sent to the UK, so will be distributed from the UK, rather than having the unpredictable wait- ing times from St Helena. Napoleon in St Helena gift set1 If you head to the G-Unique website: www.g- stationery & even a commemorative collection RMS St Helena uniquedesigns.com/gift-sets-sthelena you will find gift sets. These feature Jonathan, the Wirebird, Scenes of a selection of these gift sets which includes local jewellery, the island, the Whale-shark, the Arum lily, Napoleon & more.

The G-Unique jewellery also featured on the website in a sepa- rate section incorporates the local horsebead seed, locally- fused glass and jewellery with the St Helena charms. Find these at: www.g-uniquedesigns.com/ jewelleryfromsthelena

G-Unique & GK Crafts says they hope this is the start of something positive, with the aim to start with a small selection to test the market and then take it from there. They’d like to thank anyone who has supported them so far and hope that Saints overseas will take advantage of this service, especially in time for the festive season. More products will continue to be added in 2019 based on the feedback & de- mand over the next few months.

‘Maintaining a craft business on St Helena is a challenge as we not only have to compete with similar mass-produced products on the market; but we also have to invest a great deal of time, money and skills into our work before we even have a finished product. It takes patience & perseverance - but we do it because we love it. We hope our customers will appre- ciate the hand-made nature of our products & feel proud to Jonathan tortoise set with bookmark & earrings say they have been created on St Helena.’

The St Helena Independent Volume XIII, Issue 50, Friday 16th November 2018 10 INITIAL POLICE TRAINING WEEK THREE Over the weekend of 2 & 3 November, the students were paired up with an experienced Police Officer and went out on patrol. They dealt with a variety of incidents from parking obstructions to dealing with intoxicated members of the public. The debrief on Monday morning highlighted that Policing is diverse and no shift is exactly the same. The students ex- pressed their enjoyment of putting what they have been learning into practice.

The St Helena Independent Volume XIII, Issue 50, Friday 16th November 2018 20 Believe and Achieve St Helena (‘BASH’) We Want You! BASH is a charity working with Y9 students on St Helena. We chose Y9 because it’s an important year where young people make decisions leading to jobs, further education, apprenticeships, friend- ships, and more! Our mission statement is; to educate and inspire young people on St Helena to achieve positive personal, social and educational growth. We do this through a combina- tion of one to one mentoring with adults from the community and group activities.

13 young people completed the first round of BASH last year thanks to the support of the local community and the BASH family! This year BASH has doubled in size so we are hoping to recruit mentors, facilitators and supporters to help the future leaders of St Helena reach their goals.

‘Mentoring’ can fit around you. It is fun, informal and the frequency of contact is agreed between the young person and the mentor. ‘Facilitators’ deliver one off group sessions with the BASH young people. Topics will be linked to the areas in our mission statement. ‘Supporters’ contribute to the running of BASH. This could be financially, through the donation of goods or both. Previous examples have included a donation to assist the purchase of study guides.

Big thankyous go to; Rose & Crown, Thorpes, Prince Andrew School staff, Noleen Fowler and Essence, National Trust Marine Team, the Enchanted Isle, SAMS Radio1, Saint FM, Jamestown CC, Half Tree Hollow CC, the Community Develop- ment Organisation, Louise MacMorran & Plantation House staff, founders Esther John and Amira-Abdel Aziz and all of the BASH family! If you are interested in getting involved in any way then please get in touch! Mentor applications will be required by Friday 23rd November 2018. Please contact Fiona Campbell on 67527/22374 or Nicola Brown on 67468 or via e-mail [email protected] with any questions.

We look forward to hearing from you!
