“A forecast adjustment of the wind field has been made–Fiona is expected to expand as it passes Bermuda, and the Marine Area is likely to experience sustained hurricane-force winds of up to 90 mph with gusts to 110 mph in the early hours of Friday morning,” the weather service said.
“Around the island, elevated and exposed locations should experience hurricane force winds in excess of 75 mph and higher gusts. Large swells on the south shore will be evident today, and a storm tide of around 3 feet will gradually rise through the day and tonight in advance of Fiona’s closest passage. Rainfall amounts up to 4 inches are possible. Final preparations should be completed today prior to Fiona’s arrival tonight.”
Hurricane Fiona is expected to pass 177 km northwest of Bermuda at 5am on Friday.

The Consumer Affairs Commission (CAC) is encouraging parents to prioritise the safety of their children, especially with the resumption of face-to-face classes.
For parents whose children are going out to school for the first time, Director of Communications at the CAC, Latoya Halstead, explained the importance of parents playing their part in helping to keep their children safe.
“Do not write your children’s names on the outside of their personal items. Instead, we encourage you to teach them their names, address, your names and ensure that there is a contact number that they can call,” she said.
Halstead was addressing a Jamaica Information Service ‘Think Tank’, in Kingston, on September 13.
She said that as the rainy season is upon us, “if you know that your community floods when it rains, speak to your children about where they can go, what they can do, who they can speak with, and where they can seek help as soon as there’s an issue.”
“Please do not leave your children up to their own devices. You are the wiser ones, and you are there to guide them,” she said.
As such, “we are encouraging you to have a plan and to ensure that your children know what this plan is, because we really and truly do not want to see our children suffering,” said the Director of Communications.
She pointed out that for the past two years many students have not been out in the school space and so it is difficult for them to re-acclimatise to the social environment.
“When we are talking about re-acclimatising, we are also talking about the fact that many children have been doing a lot of gaming. So, in terms of trying to get their heads back into the books and back into the school space, we are encouraging our parents, once your child has a smart device, please put an app on that device to monitor their activities,” Ms. Halstead said.
To monitor a child’s activities, parents may utilise parental control apps and test apps and play games before their child use them. Parents may also set up shared Google or Yahoo accounts which will forward all emails to a parent to monitor contacts and communications.
Ms. Halstead advised that in addition to monitoring children’s activities, parents should set limits for their children’s internet time.
“I’m encouraging you to find a way of cutting off the Wi-Fi, because if they don’t have it, they have no choice but to be off that device. Have somebody teach you how to shut off your modem at a particular time. That way you are better able to help your child to be the best that they can be,” she said.

ABWU to host 55th Annual Delegates Conference
Over 100 delegates are expected to gather on Sunday 25 and Monday 26 September, 2022 for the Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union 55th Annual Delegates Conference.
The gathering is being held under the theme “Uniting workers with a renewed vision”.
According to ABWU General Secretary, David Massiah, the conference is particularly significant because of the “seismic-shifts” that have taken place in the world of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian-Ukraine war and international commitments to transition to green energy.
“We must resolve to prepare our members – our workers – for the changes and shifts that will come. Our deliberations and discussions will be largely centered around the disappearing of some traditional jobs and the emergence of new jobs,” Massiah explained.
The conference commences with an opening ceremony on Sunday which will feature guest speaker, Dr. Carl Roberts – former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
Following the ceremony, the Conference will hear reports from various workplaces and review several matters of business.
Another important highlight of the gathering will be the election of new officers to serve on the Union’s executive body for the next two years.
The ABWU is the largest union operating in the local private sector and is affiliated with key international and regional labour organizations.

A major investigative agency reportedly has an interest in the operations of Antigua Airways, according to the Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Harold Lovell.
He made the disclosure during last Thursday’s edition of The Captain’s Corner, adding that the agreement between the investor and the Browne Administration “is an upside-down transaction” which must be monitored closely.
Lovell is concerned that there are too many irregularities surrounding the start-up of the airline, which will bear this country’s name and flag.
The airline should make its inaugural flight to Antigua and Barbuda next month, October 2022, according to the Cabinet.
As a former Minister of Tourism, Lovell says the manner in which the new airline is being launched does not fall in line with the usual proceedings.
In the course of his duties, he says, he was involved in welcoming new airlines to Antigua and Barbuda, and he knows the agencies which should be a part of the process. However, he has not heard of their involvement in this venture, Lovell says.
The UPP Political Leader is asking what roles the Aviation and Tourism Ministers are playing in this airline venture, which already seems to be starting off on the wrong foot.
