Dear Sir,

SOCIAL SECURITY CHAIRMAN RESPONDS TO FORMER MINISTER OF FINANCE

The Hon. Chris Bryant,
Minister of The Overseas Territory

Dear Chris:

Dear Reluctant Non-Belonger:

I too am inspired to follow-up on your letter that recently appeared in this publication. Here are some of my own personal feelings and I will amplify on some of them. For reasons that will soon become clear, I am choosing to do so publically. I am happy that you “very much love and care for this island and its people,” and that you and your wife “have chosen Anguilla as the location for your home away from home.” I want to assure you that your feelings are reciprocated.

For reasons that should be easily understood I would like to remain anonymous.

Former Chief Minister of Anguilla, Mr. Osbourne Fleming, who has retired from active political life, has been thanked for his service to Anguilla by the British Minister for the Overseas Territories, Mr. Chris Bryant.

I’m inspired to follow-up on the excellent letter by Sheridan Smith that recently appeared in this publication.

Dear fellow Anguillians:

As we step into a new era of government, we must first acknowledge and congratulate them as our new leaders and pledge to work collaboratively for the betterment of Anguilla.
My current observation centers on the fact that we have a serious real estate debacle on this island and many people seem to be oblivious of this fact.

Dear Mr. Editor:

GENERAL ELECTION OBSERVATIONS

For the very first time I found it possible to make comparisons between two separate general elections in the Caribbean, and I came away with a feeling that one of them was far better, more organised, less contentious and, I would venture to say, very fair.

The Anguillian.

Dear Sir:


SORRY STATE OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Having just come home from our fifteenth year returning to beautiful Anguilla for our winter vacation, I feel compelled to share with you and your readers the extreme disappointment we feel when we observe the lack of upkeep and maintenance of the Public Library.

Dear Sir:

“YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION”

It was not funny or kind for the AUM Government’s side of the House of Assembly to have repeatedly harassed the elected representative for East End, the Honourable Jerome Roberts of the Anguilla Peoples Progressive Party, about crossing the floor during the swearing in function last week.

I am elated at the victory. God works for those who work, wait and have faith.

Dear Sir,

Re: The Tragedy of Temenos

Credit Suisse, the lead arranger for a syndicate of lenders at the Temenos project, announced last week that it had appointed a receiver to take control of the Temenos project. It should be obvious to all that after almost two years of attempted negotiations with the owner Mr. Sillerman and Flag Luxury Properties, Credit Suisse does not believe that it can strike a deal with Mr. Sillerman and has moved ahead to take back the property in order to sell it to the highest bidder.

Dear Sir,

THEFT OF ASA EQUIPMENT

As a concerned parent, I would like to draw attention to the fact that every week someone is stealing from the Sailing Association on Sandy Ground. Everything from rudders, drain plugs, tillers and pullies have been taken.

The purpose of the Sailing Association is to teach our children how to sail, and to keep the national sport of Anguilla alive. It costs a great deal of money to replace these items. Please be aware that when you steal from the Sailing Association, you are stealing from the children of Anguilla.
