The Editor
The Anguillian
Dear Editor:
On Saturday the 20th of January. I listened in awe to the most cowardly display of engagement by our esteemed Chief Minister as a caller to the Mayor Radio Show on Kool FM. It appears that the CM was peeved at the previous caller who had made reference to the fact that Anguilla was now part of the European Union, and to a certain document that the CM had in his possession. The CM identified himself and proceeded to rip into the co-host, Palmavon Webster. His rant continued until he got personal when he accused her and others of trying to undermine his administration. It was at this time she started to question him. Of course he refused to engage her in a civilized manner and chose to continue with his rant. At the conclusion of his rant, he hung up the phone and answered no questions.

Many residents of Anguilla suffer from varicose veins of the legs, and sometimes the associated symptoms can cause much discomfort if not correctly treated. For some people, the veins can be a cosmetic nuisance, but for others they can cause much psychological distress as well.

As I indicated in my last article in The Anguillian of the 6th January 2012 that I would deal with the proposed White Paper, developed by the United Kingdom Government for the Overseas Territories, I beg first to go back as far as 1969 when the British Government invaded THE ROCK. There was a merchant ship anchored just outside - what was called sixty odd - stationed there for weeks on end. You see, fellow Anguillians, this is an extension of the BRONSON DEEP which passes just outside Little Scrub down to the north of Puerto Rico, and is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean. It reaches to a depth of over twenty eight thousand feet (28,000 ft) almost as deep as Mt. Everest is high (29,000 ft).

This weekend, yet another time we suffered anxious moments as we heard the report that three of our hardworking and courageous fishermen were missing at sea. It is the kind of report that we all dread. As an island surrounded by the sea it has been the source of our livelihood over the centuries but it has also caused us much pain and loss. There will always be fishermen, sailors, and other lovers of the enchanting waters around Anguilla --- so we have come to expect anxiety and sadness from time to time. My good friends Claude Richardson and Cecil “Kitto” Edwards, with young George Romney, left our shores to ply their trade and met with misfortune at the hands of the very ocean that was their regular provider. We commiserate with the family and friends of Cecil “Kitto” Edwards who did not make it through the ordeal --- and we rejoice with the family and friends of Claude and George to whom God’s providence granted safe return. We are grateful to all those who took part in the search effort and their eventual rescue. And may “Kitto’s” soul rest in peace!

Why do they hate me? At some point in our lives, we have probably asked that question ourselves, or have heard others asking it. That is certainly not surprising as people throughout the centuries have asked themselves that question as well.
