WORK ON THE GOLF COURSE
One of our family members was fortunate to have worked on the Golf Course project from its inception, but has had to return home to St. Vincent when it ran out of money and had to be closed down.

Dear Mr. Editor:
LITERACY PROGRAMME A GOOD STEP
As a former educator with a still abiding interest in literacy development, and having served in several regional islands before settling in Anguilla, I wish to commend the Ministry and Department of Education for launching the Literacy Programme and the various associated promotions.

REPLACE THOSE FICUS TREES
Last week I saw workmen pruning the sprawling ficus trees at the Queen Elizabeth Avenue and a thought I long held came back to my mind.

June 6th 1981 was the first reported cases in the world of individuals with symptoms and signs that later became known as HIV/AIDS. It is 30 years since the emergence of this mysterious disease, but it was apparently around many years before this time. This disease has impacted almost every nation large and small, including islands like Anguilla. After 30 years there is still much fear and stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. After thirty years many countries and groups are reflecting on this global disease.

This week most employers were probably upset about the four-day weekend and the costs placed on their already strained budgets. On the other hand, employees may have been disappointed that they could not afford to celebrate the holidays in the lavish manner they were accustomed to over the past years. This four-day weekend for the Welches Community afforded them a day to recuperate after the hard effort they put into the Annual Fest.

Let the game begin! It is impossible for the Chief Minister to be so inept and so useless that the only thing he can do is to blame HMG, AUF and/or the Civil Service for whatever happens. Mr. Hughes has gone back to his “standard two days” and is playing Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox. He seems to have no interest in the average man’s success or failure. He himself has money and (some) power; now he wants more power but the British Government stands in his way. Therefore, for his own aggrandizement, he wants us to join him and get rid of them.

Do you honour your father? This is probably the most ticklish question one could ever ask of many children or adults. The word father at times appears to be a curse word. Some people just cannot bring themselves to talk about or even identify with the man who is supposed to be their father. No wonder this time of year fails to get the recognition it truly deserves.

Several years ago, the Temenos/Flag Luxury Properties development on 275 acres of prime beachfront land in the western area of Anguilla was the pride of the island and its people and the largest local construction site. It provided jobs for hundreds of workers from Anguilla, neighbouring islands and a number of Southeast Asia countries and elsewhere. So large and diverse were the tradesmen, the engineers and other technical and administrative personnel, that the project was dubbed by the Israeli Project Manager as "the United Nations”.
