MP suggests PNP settled J’cans on gully banks, in riverbeds, landfills Loop Jamaica

A war of words has erupted between the country’s two main political parties over where and how the most vulnerable Jamaicans live, and who is responsible for their predicament.

The latest salvo was fired on Tuesday by Member of Parliament (MP) for St Thomas Eastern, Dr Michelle Charles.

The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) member and first-term MP, who was making her contribution to the State of the Constituency Debate in the House of Representatives, suggested that the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) had settled people on gully banks, in river beds, and on landfills.

She said in this regard, the governing JLP was different from the PNP.

“Running a country is extremely challenging but we don’t run it the same,” said Charles, a dentist.

“We (the JLP) are not the same [as the PNP]. We are not the same. This government is building a new St Thomas; this government is building a new Jamaica,” Charles added.

She said: “This government is building houses for our citizens and not on a gully bank, not in riverbeds and not in landfills.”

“This Andrew Holness-led government cares for our people. This government is celebrating economic growth and stability; this government is filled with new ideas and new technology,” she boasted.

Her comments followed what has been described as inflammatory statements made on Sunday by her colleague MP, Juliet Holness, who represents St Andrew East Rural and is also the wife of Prime Minister Holness.

Holness, who was addressing the JLP’s Norbrook divisional meeting at Constant Spring Primary School in St Andrew, said, “Everywhere in my constituency that is unsafe to live, Comrades (PNP supporters) live there. Yuh hear what mi seh? Everywhere in my constituency that it is not safe to live, Comrades live there.”

She acknowledged that she was addressing a topic that was uncomfortable but stressed that “anywhere where river going to wash away [people], Comrades live there; anywhere that is a garbage dump, Comrades live there and is not Labour party put them there”.

The deputy speaker of the House told Labourites that “…the places they (PNP) put people to live they would never live for a minute. They would never want to visit and walk through”.

She has since been widely criticised on social media and elsewhere for the controversial statements. The PNP has also responded to the comments, describing them as reckless, partisan and demeaning to the people who are unfortunate enough to live in such circumstances.

PNP General Secretary Dr Dayton Campbell has described the comments as offensive and repugnant while arguing that many Jamaicans have settled in flood-prone areas out of desperation.

“The persons, who, through no fault of their own some of the time, reside in these locations are not solely supporters of either political party. There are persons who reside in vulnerable areas that are supporters of the PNP, some are supporters of the JLP, and some are supporters of no party. And for one to ascribe political affiliation to that just speaks to how that individual views the persons,” he said.

Campbell said the remarks by Holness were “unbecoming of somebody who occupies such high office in the country” and who is in close proximity to the prime minister. He said her comments were a reflection of how she views the people who are led by her husband.

T-25; FIFA World Cup 2022.

After being eliminated from the FIFA World Cup by Pele’s debut World Cup goal 64 years ago,the Wales “dragons” are back.

It is the longest absence by a returning European team to the big stage and if the 2016 and 2020 UEFA European Championships are anything to go by, the Welsh’s performances will be worth the wait.

Since their 2016 appearance at a major tournament, Wales have shown incremental improvement, and exposed a number of quality, young players, such as Neco Williams, Daniel James, Harry Wilson and Ethan Ampadu.

Wales captain and talisman Gareth Bale

The emergence of these players under the guidance of former Welsh international Ryan Giggs and Robert Page have seen the revolution of Welsh football and a new type of respect for “the dragons.”

Country: Wales

Capital: Cardiff

Population: 3.1 million

Confederation: UEFA (Europe)

Group: B

Professional League: JD Cymru Premier

World Cup appearances: 2

Qualification status: Play-off winner versus Ukraine

Key players: Gareth Bale (Los Angeles FC, USA), Daniel James (Fulham, England), Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest, England), Harry Wilson (Fulham, England), Ben Davies (Tottenham, England)

Coach: Robert Page (Welsh)

Group mates: England, Iran, USA

Prediction: In their last two major tournaments the Welsh has advanced beyond the preliminary round, however, the World Cup stage provides a different dynamic that this group are yet to experience.

Potential qualifiers into the round of 16. Their duel with the USA will determine who goes forward.

Catastrophe de Brétigny: SNCF condamnée, SNCF Réseau et un ancien cheminot relaxés

Le tribunal d’Evry a reconnu coupable mercredi la SNCF d’homicides et  blessures involontaires, neuf ans après le déraillement d’un train en gare de Brétigny-sur-Orge (Essonne), qui avait tué sept personnes et fait…

Le tribunal d’Evry a reconnu coupable mercredi la SNCF d’homicides et  blessures involontaires, neuf ans après le déraillement d’un train en gare de Brétigny-sur-Orge (Essonne), qui avait tué sept personnes et fait des centaines de blessés psychologiques et/ou physiques.

Il a en revanche relaxé les deux autres prévenus jugés : un ancien cadre cheminot, qui avait effectué la dernière tournée de surveillance avant le drame, et le gestionnaire des voies SNCF Réseau (ex-Réseau Ferré de France).

La SNCF a été condamnée à une amende de 300.000 euros, plus lourde que les 225.000 encourus, du fait de l’état de récidive légale de l’entreprise en matière d’homicides involontaires, a expliqué la présidente du tribunal, précisant que la SNCF avait réalisé un chiffre d’affaires de 34,8 milliards d’euros en 2021.

Le tribunal condamne la SNCF pour avoir failli à sa mission de maintenance, comme héritière pénale de SNCF Infra, chargée de la maintenance au moment des faits.

Le 12 juillet 2013, le pivotement d’une éclisse, sorte de grosse agraphe joignant deux rails, avait provoqué le déraillement de l’Intercités Paris-Limoges, à Brétigny, au sud de Paris.

Ce pivotement est, selon le tribunal, la conséquence de l’évolution d’une fissure dans l’un des coeurs de l’appareil de voie mis en cause, une fissure détectée en 2008 mais mal suivie pendant cinq ans.

– “Négligence” – 

Cette avarie aurait dû être surveillée annuellement par la SNCF. “Cette négligence du suivi du coeur est en lien certain avec le déraillement”, a déclaré la présidente, balayant la défense de la SNCF qui imputait l’accident à un défaut indécelable de l’acier.

Si la SNCF avait correctement réalisé ces visites de contrôle, elle aurait “constaté l’état avarié” du coeur “et procédé à son changement”, poursuit la présidente.

La magistrate a reconnu que le déraillement avait “indéniablement atteint la SNCF et ses agents, dans le cœur de la grandeur et de la mission de service public qui est la leur : assurer les transports ferroviaires en toute sécurité”.

Elle a souligné les divers “moyens humains et financiers” mis en place par la SNCF “pour porter assistance et soutien aux victimes de la catastrophe”, avant de commencer à lister les dommages et intérêts à verser aux très nombreuses parties civiles.

“Nous sommes moyennement satisfaits”, a déclaré à l’AFP Thierry Gomes, président de l’association Entraide et défense des victimes de la catastrophe de Brétigny (EDVCB). “Nous sommes reconnaissants de la condamnation de la SNCF, un aboutissement de neuf années de combat, mais nous sommes déçus de la relaxe de la SNCF Réseau qui a une part de responsabilité aussi”, a estimé M. Gomes, qui a perdu ses parents dans l’accident.

Cette décision vient clore huit semaines de procès, du 25 avril au 17 juin, où cinq semaines avaient été consacrées aux débats techniques. Le tribunal avait également longuement entendu les témoignages brisés de nombreuses parties civiles. 

Comme celui de Stephen C., qui avait décrit en larmes “la recherche interminable” de son petit frère Vincent, fauché sur le quai de la gare. S’en étaient suivies “les années les plus éprouvantes de (sa) vie”, à devoir mettre de côté son deuil pour “gérer” ses parents effondrés, avant de lui-même “craquer”.

Dans son réquisitoire, le procureur avait demandé une peine de 450.000 euros contre la SNCF. Avec cette catastrophe, en banlieue parisienne, “c’est toute une conception du service public qui s’est effondrée”, avait-il déploré, fustigeant “une entreprise dans le déni”, qui n’assume pas d’avoir “banalisé l’urgence” au détriment de la sécurité des usagers.

Voile: décès du Canadien Mike Birch, premier vainqueur de la Route du Rhum

98 secondes ! C’est avec cet écart que le Canadien Mike Birch, décédé mercredi à l’âge de 90 ans, est entré dans la légende de la voile en gagnant la première Route du Rhum…

98 secondes ! C’est avec cet écart que le Canadien Mike Birch, décédé mercredi à l’âge de 90 ans, est entré dans la légende de la voile en gagnant la première Route du Rhum en 1978, avec son petit trimaran jaune.

“Il était diminué depuis plusieurs mois. Il est mort tout doucement cette nuit dans son sommeil”, a déclaré à l’AFP France Birch, épouse du marin depuis quarante ans.

Mike Birch est mort à son domicile de Brec’h (Morbihan) à quelques jours du départ, le 6 novembre, de la 12e édition de la Route du Rhum. “C’est vraiment la personne qui a forgé la légende de la Route du Rhum (…) C’était un amoureux de la mer qui voulait rester libre”, a réagi auprès de l’AFP Hervé Favre, président d’OC Sport, organisateur de la course.

À bord d’un petit multicoque jaune de 12 m (Olympus), le Canadien avait coiffé sur le fil le puissant monocoque du Français Michel Malinovsky pour l’emporter avec 98 secondes d’avance seulement, après un final d’anthologie.

Cette victoire de David contre Goliath, au terme de 23 jours 6 h 56 min de course entre Saint-Malo et Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) a consacré la supériorité des multicoques sur les monocoques dans les courses au large.

Du rodéo à la voile

Elle a aussi révélé ce coureur atypique, timide, d’une grande gentillesse et modestie. “C’était un homme extraordinaire. Il était extrêmement discret et simple. Il a conservé cette simplicité jusqu’au bout”, a dit à l’AFP sa nièce, l’avocate Aline Simard.

Mike Birch est né le 1er novembre 1931 à Vancouver (Colombie Britannique) et c’est assez tardivement que cet ancien cow-boy, adepte de rodéo, s’est découvert une passion pour la voile.

En 1976, à 44 ans, il prend le départ de la Transat anglaise, à bord de Third Turtle, le plus petit trimaran de la flotte, dessiné par l’Américain Dick Newick. A la barre de ce multicoque de 9,75 m, Birch décrochera la deuxième place derrière le Français Eric Tabarly et son monocoque Pen Duick VI de 22 m.

Birch, dont la silhouette longiligne et le crâne dégarni vont vite devenir célèbres chez les “voileux” du monde entier, va peu à peu se construire un palmarès impressionnant, participant à toutes les Route du Rhum jusqu’en 2002 (9e à l’âge de 71 ans !). Il finira à la troisième place en 1982, à la quatrième en 1986 et 1990.

Champion du monde de course au large en 1991 et 1992, il s’impose alors comme l’un des rares étrangers à battre les Français, qui ont monopolisé la course au large en solitaire dans la foulée de la victoire de Tabarly dans la Transat anglaise de 1976.

Chercheur d’or

Birch a navigué une soixantaine d’années, mais “chercheur d’or a été mon premier job”, avait-il raconté au journal L’Equipe avant le départ de la Route du Rhum 2014. “Pas longtemps. C’était un boulot intéressant même si je n’ai pas gagné beaucoup d’argent!”

Jusqu’à l’année dernière, il vivait entre la Bretagne et son chalet à Gaspé, au Québec, à l’embouchure du Saint-Laurent, avec pour seul compagnon un Jack Russell répondant au nom de Lucie.

Mais, son état de santé se détériorant, il avait été ramené en juillet 2021 par son épouse dans leur domicile du Morbihan. “Avant ça, malgré l’âge, il continuait de naviguer” avec un petit monocoque baptisé Dolly, le surnom de sa mère, a expliqué France Birch.

Père de deux enfants (un garçon et une fille) vivant en Grande-Bretagne, détaché de la course au large depuis des années, il suivait de loin l’actualité de la voile avec la sérénité d’un vieux sage, étonné qu’on se souvienne encore de lui et de ces 98 secondes d’éternité.

New e-passport system launched

BELMOPAN, Mon. Oct. 24, 2022

Today the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, and Immigration held the official launch ceremony for the country’s new e-passport system. The Electronic Passport Issuance and Control System (ePICS) has been hailed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Eamon Courtenay, as a secure and more efficient upgrade to Belize’s former, and outdated, system. The passports carry an electronic chip, which, according to Hon. Courtenay, holds numerous security features to safeguard holders’ personal information. The launch, he said, is the culmination of an effort which began in February 2021, when Cabinet approved the procurement of a new passport system.

In addition to enhanced security features, the new passports, which were produced by Canadian Bank Note Limited, also come with new modern designs that highlight a theme of national pride. The designs were done by a team of officials from the Ministry of Tourism and Diaspora Relations, the National Institute of Culture and History (NICH), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, and Immigration.

Today, Minister Courtenay handed the Governor General, H.E. Dame Froyla Tzalam, the first new e-passport. He also presented Prime Minister John Briceño with a framed set of passports and passport memorabilia.

“Domestically, a passport serves as an important document of identity and nationality. It certifies who the bearer is and that you are a Belizean. Internationally, the passport is the most widely recognized and accepted document used to enter a foreign country,” he said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, and Immigration says that it is confident that the new electronic system will elevate security and eliminate the corruption and fraud associated with passport issuance. It will also help the ministry better address the increasing demand for passports. According to Minister Courtenay, over the past two years, the number of passports issued has increased dramatically, going from 13,830 in 2020 to 23,521 in 2021, to 37,855 this year to date.

“To address this dramatic increase in demand and the expected surge in applications for the new passports, we will have online appointments to manage applications. Our objective is to end the long lines and hours of waiting at our immigration offices,” he said.

With the launch of the ePICS system, the passport application process will now be mostly online, save for photo taking and signing the passport. Visitors to the Immigration Department’s official website will note that its passport application section is up and running and that, more importantly, passport fees are currently the same—$50.00 for an adult passport with a 10-year validity and $30.00 for a passport for children under the age of 16.

Previously, a leaked image had led to reports that the application fee for the new passports could have been increased by almost 400%, at $200 for an adult passport. Those reports, however, were never confirmed, or acknowledged, by the Ministry.

With the transition to an online system, there will now be a total of seven locations across the country that are able to accept passport applications—Corozal Town, Orange Walk Town, Belize City, San Pedro Town, Belmopan, Dangriga Town, and Punta Gorda Town. Previously, there were only three such locations. There will also now be seven overseas locations accepting applications: London, Taipei, Washington, New York, Chicago, Coral Gables, and Los Angeles.
