Detectives in St. Mary have charged 54-year-old Daniel Spike of Fraserwood Content, St Mary with two counts of murder, five counts of attempted murder, and arson following an incident in the parish on Tuesday, October 18.

Les Ultims dernière génération, plus grands bateaux engagés sur la Route du Rhum, ont pénétré pour la première fois mardi soir dans le port de Saint-Malo par une écluse étroite au terme d’une manoeuvre délicate…
Les Ultims dernière génération, plus grands bateaux engagés sur la Route du Rhum, ont pénétré pour la première fois mardi soir dans le port de Saint-Malo par une écluse étroite au terme d’une manoeuvre délicate, devant plus de 2.000 personnes captivées.
“C’est passé tout juste”, s’exclame, soulagée, Valérie, 57 ans, regardant s’éloigner l’immense trimaran de son “chouchou” François Gabart, dont les bords frôlent les murs de l’écluse qui le sépare du grand bassin du port de Saint-Malo.
Pour la première fois, plusieurs Ultims dernière génération, gigantesques trimarans de 32 mètres de long et 23 mètres de large, ont pénétré dans le port de la cité corsaire.
Ce dernier n’est accessible qu’en traversant l’écluse du Naye, 150 mètres de long pour seulement 25 mètres de large, au prix d’une manoeuvre complexe: en comptant les pare-battages protégeant les bateaux des chocs, il ne reste que 50 centimètres de marge de chaque côté.
Le passage de ces géants des mers implique donc une organisation millimétrée, calibrée en fonction des marées et de la météo, les Ultims et leur mât d’une trentaine de mètres devenant difficilement manoeuvrables par des vents supérieurs à 15 noeuds (28 km/h), selon Thomas de La Broise, commandant de port-adjoint à Saint-Malo.
Après avoir été positionnés dans l’axe de l’écluse à l’aide d’un ponton, profitant d’un faible vent, les bateaux sont tirés à la main à l’aide de cordages, sous le regard attentif de plusieurs lamaneurs, spécialistes du passage des écluses.
Pour ce premier passage, la tension est montée d’un cran dans la foule massée dans des gradins montés pour l’occasion. Celle-ci a retenu son souffle en silence lors de cette manoeuvre spectaculaire avant de laisser éclater ses applaudissements.
“T’es le meilleur”, lance Valérie au navigateur François Gabart, qui attend, tout sourire, le remplissage de l’écluse, au centre de son Ultim SVR-Lazartigues bleu foncé et jaune fluo, au design futuriste.
Plus grands bateaux engagés sur la Route du Rhum, les Ultims sont aussi les plus rapides: ils sont capables de pointes à plus de 80 km/h en mer, et certains valent une vingtaine de millions d’euros.
Les derniers Ultims – huit sont engagés au total cette année – devaient pénétrer dans le port de Saint-Malo un peu plus tard dans la soirée… avant de reproduire l’opération à l’identique mais dans le sens opposé deux jours avant le départ, programmé le 6 novembre, pour prendre le large.

CHARLESTOWN NEVIS, October 24, 2022 (NIA) – Premier of Nevis, Hon. Mark Brantley was pleased to have had the opportunity to engage directly with youth leaders on Nevis in critical dialogue, during the recently held Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Youth Forum.
Thirty-seven participants from 28 youth groups and associations from across the island attended the October 20, 2022 event, where they engaged in interactive discussion with the Premier and NIA Cabinet Ministers Deputy Premier Hon. Alexis Jeffers, Hon. Eric Evelyn and Hon. Spencer Brand.
“I was very, very impressed with the turn-out and with the level of dialogue and discussion with the youth leaders of Nevis, the individuals who were there, and had an opportunity to participate for about four hours. I think it went extremely well.
“The youth leaders helped us to understand the challenges and help us understand what we can do better in terms of our youth, the areas of interest, and we have committed to working with them and to ensuring that we arrange next year a large-scale symposium for our youth as we try to position them at the very top of our developmental agenda,” said Premier Brantley.
Ms. Latoya Jones, Special Adviser in the Office of the Premier, organized the forum. During the opening remarks she said the forum was designed to get young persons involved in the government’s decision-making process and to provide an avenue for networking among the groups.
“The Nevis Island Administration Youth Forum seeks to create an opportunity to encourage youth participation and to give our youth a voice. Our youth can present their ideas, issues and concerns directly to our leaders…The forum also provides an avenue for our leaders to give an insight into existing youth programs and to shed some light on future programs that would be beneficial for our youth,” she said.
Represented at the forum were religious groups, sports clubs, music, political, health and wellness, community, and humanitarian groups.
Each Government Minister outlined some of the programs and initiatives offered in their various ministries. They also highlighted some of the areas where employment opportunities exist within the public service. The youths were encouraged to take advantage of scholarships on offer and also to use their creativity and become entrepreneurs.
