I am Chris Mason, and I run an Alternative Energy Installation company based in Anguilla but offering services throughout the Caribbean. I feel it important for the future of Anguilla that we are aware of our energy consumption and are ready to discuss alternative sources. Like most Caribbean Islands, Anguilla gets 100% of its power from burning diesel and is entirely at the mercy of the oil suppliers. The Government is aware of the dangers of this dependency and has explored the use of Renewable Energy Sources in the National Energy Policy which you can find on the Comet Energy website http://www.cometenergysystems.com/. It makes for interesting reading.

Almost 43 years after he led the 1967 Anguilla Revolution, which culminated in the island’s formal separation from St. Kitts-Nevis in 1980, James Ronald Webster was honoured with a public holiday filled with a spectacular series of social and cultural events on his 84th birthday on Tuesday this week. The morning and afternoon celebration, in recognition of his revolutionary and fearless leadership of Anguilla, will be an annual event. Mr. Webster, who was not in attendance, was reported by Chief Minister, Hubert Hughes, to have been at an “undisclosed location.” Reports stated however that he had left the island for his customary visit to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands.

This Friday, March 5, is exactly one week since the commencement of a new House of Assembly in Anguilla, occasioned by the swearing in of the island’s first female Speaker, the Elected Members, the First Nominated Member and the two Ex-Officio Members, the Deputy Governor and the Attorney General. The Second Nominated Member is yet to be announced and sworn in.

One of the hallmarks of a good leader is humility and despite the strength of his character and unflinching resolve which Mr. Ronald Webster has demonstrated during Anguilla’s revolutionary period, he has remained a very humble man. Even his reported wealth has not stood in the way of his simplicity of life and association with the downtrodden. In fact, it was the destitute and forgotten people of Anguilla, an island once regarded as “a backwater of the Caribbean”, that he was prepared to give his life for in their liberation from the feared Bradshaw regime in St. Kitts.

It may possibly be the sternest warning, on Wednesday, ever issued by the Royal Anguilla Police to young men in Anguilla involved in fighting with the use of guns and knives, as well as committing a series of armed robbery offences.

We can all agree that the 2010 election campaign was the ugliest in Anguilla’s political history. The mud that flew was more than was produced by Hurricane Lenny and could easily have filled the Coritot dump site. The charges and counter charges hurled between candidates where some were alleged to have been diseased with aids, to those who did not really know who their father's were, were enough to make the poll historic.

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.

There is no doubt that the events or happenings which transpired over the past month have left many in a state of disappointment. Any time our hopes are not realized, or our expectations or desires are not fulfilled, we feel some level of disappointment or sadness. When things don't turn out the way we hoped, it may seem like the end of the world but it need not be so. It is how we deal with it that will make the difference.

The skin of pregnant women can be affected in a number of ways. Pregnancy can leave some lucky ladies looking luscious. For others, all that extra hormonal activity can have the opposite effect, causing a variety of pregnancy skin problems.
