PHILIPSBURG — Acting Minister of Tourism and Economy Omar Ottley signed a service level agreement with A&A Accounting for a training program that aims to help 25 aspiring and existing entrepreneurs to bring their business skills to the next level.

A & A Accounting, was founded in 2011 by financial analyst and small business coach and instructor Ann Marlin-Evans, who will lead the training program.

The objective is to teach entrepreneurs how to start a business or how to sustain an existing enterprise through structural training. Participants will develop entrepreneurial abilities and skills.

Paricipants will also be able to apply for a grant or loan to recover from damages sustained during Hurricane Irma in 2017 and/or during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Minister Ottley’s initiative comes across as a follow-up to the assessment of the local business climate, as described in a report from the Amsterdam-based Economic Research Foundation SEO. This report mentions for instance that local entrepreneurs often lack the skills to start or to operate a business from a financial as well as an operational perspective.

Entrepreneurs who are interested to participate in the training program should apply by submitting an intake-form. This is available at https://www.aa-acounting.sx/upcoming. Applicants are asked what makes their business (idea) unique and why they should be selected for participation. Applicants should also submit a one-minute business idea via email by August 23 to sedc@aa-acounting.sx.

On August 31, the organizers will announce which participants have been accepted and the training program will launch on September 2 at the Paradise Event Hall.

A&A Accounting is a business support and training center. “We help small businesses starts, grow and succeed,” the company states on its website.

Australia beat Jamaica to win netball gold at Commonwealth Games Loop Jamaica

Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls went down 55-51 against Australia in the gold medal match of the netball competition at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England on Sunday.

And they made history as the first side to win the gold medal after losing a pool match in the lead up.

As a result of the defeat, Jamaica had to settle for the silver medal, just three days after they scored a shock victory against Australia in their final Pool A game.

It was almost a case of history repeating itself with the Diamonds going into the final break with a six-goal lead, the same margin they went into the final quarter against Jamaica when they went on to lose by two points.

But it was a different-looking Diamonds team this time as they held firm and take the game.

It was Sarah Klau and Cara Koenen from the bench that dragged Australia across the line, with Klau silencing Sunshine Girls superstar Jhaniele Fowler.

Gretel Bueta led Australia with 37 goals at 100 percent while Koenen had 15 from 15 after coming onto the court.

Fowler had 46 goals from 47 attempts but it wasn’t enough for the historic gold medal. The silver medal for the Sunshine Girls represents an improvement on their bronze medal four years ago in Australia.

Chief Justice calls for more dialogue between judiciary and executive Loop Jamaica

Chief Justice Bryan Sykes says that going forward, there needs to be more frequent discussions between the executive and the judiciary relative to measures to strengthen the courts, including the implementation of more modern technology.

In the long-term, Sykes says this frequent dialogue can result in Jamaica having a world-class judicial system.

The top jurist was speaking at Friday’s special sitting to mark the 60th anniversary of the Court of Appeal.

According to Sykes, there have been discussions between the judiciary and the executive through Minister of Justice Delroy Chuck, but the dialogue needs to be held regularly to achieve certain outcomes.

“I think the time has come where courts need to have – and not that we haven’t had it through our Minister of Justice – but we need to have more regular and frequent dialogue with executive, where we speak about the needs of the judiciary, and put ourselves into a position to become a world-class judiciary,” said Sykes.

“The needs (of the judiciary) are not just in terms of the salaries and conditions of work, but also just keeping abreast of modern technologies that can increase productivity of the courts, because ultimately, courts are designed to resolve disputes in a timely way,” he added.

The judge said that solving disputes on a timely basis is the court’s “constitutional responsibility, and one that we must always endeavour to meet.

“… And so, it is my commitment that we will continue to do that,” assured Sykes.

Meanwhile, the island’s chief jurist said he envisions the Court of Appeal becoming a “world-class” court, and noted that efforts have been made through the increase of staff and refurbishment of that court building, to ensure efficiency of the court.

Still, he said there is the need for more staff, including transcriptionists and court reporters, to improve the speedier acquisition of transcripts of cases from the Parish Courts and Supreme Court to the Court of Appeal.

In that area, Sykes said the issue will also be improved through digitisation, with the implementation of a software to replace manual systems.

PNM Tobago mourns ‘visionary’ ex-candidate Neil Beckles

Neil Beckles –

The People’s National Movement (PNM) Tobago council is mourning Neil “Becko” Beckles.

Sources told Newsday that Beckles died on Thursday morning.

He came in the political spotlight in 2021, mounting a PNM platform where he was announced as the candidate for the Belle Garden East/Roxborough/Delaford electoral district for the January 2021 Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections.

Condolences were posted to social media by the council as well as its political leader Ancil Dennis.

THA Minority Leader Kelvon Morris, in a WhatsApp message, said he came to know Beckles as his football coach with the Soul City Club of Mt Pleas​​ant.

“There he lead us to championship success at both the Soul City Youth League and the Republic Youth Cup U-17 age group tournament. Neil was as principled as he was jovial and a true man of the people, always willing to help and always willing to be involved in community development. Tobago has truly lost a patriot and a visionary, whose death has left us all poorer as an island.

“It is with genuine sadness, I offer my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues from all walks of life. RIP my coach, my colleague and my friend, the late Neil Beckles.”

Tobago West MP Shamfa Cudjoe posted on Facebook, “Such a warm heart and a sweet soul. We’ll miss you indeed. Rest in peace Mr Neil “Becko” Beckles.”

THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine expressed condolences to the family in a post on social media.

He said Beckles was a political rival, but there were times that “we supported the same vision.”

“I can recall when Tobago football was experiencing some turbulence and there was a need for change, Beckles was the man that I ensured Sideys (Football Club) gave its support to. I was so convinced that he was the man for the job that I spent time secretly calling around and ensuring that all my ‘country teams’ were voting in tribal manner to secure the victory.”

He added, “To the large (and almost ubiquitous) Beckles family of Roxborough, my team and I wish you comfort and God’s love during these difficult times. May his soul rest in peace.”

Deputy Chief Secretary Watson Duke said: “To the Beckles family: Condolences…I am truly saddened by his passing and even more sad by the large space in our society and lives he left behind as he leaves us behind.”

The Tobago Cricket Association (TCA) said Beckles was the longest-serving member of the association.

“A lover of pan, Neil served the Tobago Cricket Association (TCA) diligently in every elected position. He will be remembered for his calming presence and supreme institutional knowledge,” a statement from the TCA read on Thursday.
