Basseterre, St. Kitts, July 14, 2022 (SKNIS): Officials at the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC) are calling on the general public to support the institution’s Uniform Policy as it promotes a sense of belonging for students and creates a positive identity for the college community.

“We do understand what has been happening over the years and we are reaching out to the public as it relates to parents, employees, persons out there in the public sphere to just support the college in the enforcement of its Uniform Policy,” said Dr. Moyia Rowtham, Vice-President of Academic and Student Affairs at CFBC, during her July 13th appearance on ‘Working for You.’  “All students are expected to wear the uniform as stated in our Uniform Policy and this will be shared with the students. All students will be and are expected to be in full uniform as of the 20th of September, 2022.”

Dr. Rowtham noted that the wearing of uniforms is not just a matter of discipline and spoke to “Friedrich and Shanks 2022” who referenced the use of uniforms for students to ‘fashion themselves into respectable and employable future adults.’ She added that CFBC prides itself on this notion.

In relation to new students, the vice president said that they are expected to be properly attired.

“You are expected to wear a white school shirt along with black or blue long jeans pant, nothing that is distressed or torn. We expect you to present yourselves respectfully at the college. We are asking that parents and guardians support the college in its endeavours,” she said.

The vice president added that being properly attired in uniform is just one aspect of employability skills.

“We can’t go into the National Bank any old way and we can’t go and report for duty at the Defence Force dressed any old way. So we are just trying our best to ensure that our students, when they leave the CFBC, that this is just one aspect to help mould them into the citizens that we know they can be,” said Dr. Rowtham.

She said that school uniforms also contribute to the personal safety of students by allowing easier recognition of students inside the school and in the community.

Junta de Gobierno del CRIM aprueba moratoria para que contribuyentes apelen notificaciones de cambios en estructuras

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La Junta de Gobierno del Centro de Recaudación de Ingresos Municipales (CRIM), aprobó el jueves, una Resolución para integrar a los Municipios en el proceso de validación de hallazgos y notificaciones que gener el proyecto CRIM 360, el cual identifica estructuras nuevas y cambios en estructuras existentes, mediante la comparación de imágenes aéreas de fotometría del año 2017 vs. las de 2007.

De igual forma, la resolución concede un periodo de moratoria para que los contribuyentes que ya han recibido notificaciones y objetan las mismas, puedan apelarlas ante el CRIM.

“Recibir una notificación del CRIM, no implica una factura, lo que se pretende es validar que la información que tiene el CRIM sobre esa propiedad es la correcta”, aseguró en conferencia de prensa el presidente de la Junta de Gobierno del CRIM y alcalde de Orocovis, Jesús Colón Berlingeri.

Otra disposición contenida en la Resolución, es la que instruye a la Administración del CRIM a realizar una auditoria de la primera etapa de este proyecto, así como de los procesos de tasación ordinarios que lleva a cabo el CRIM.

Asimismo, Colón Berlingeri y el director ejecutivo del CRIM, Reinaldo Paniagua Látimer aclararon que las notificaciones que están recibiendo contribuyentes que no han registrado propiedades o mejoras al CRIM, corresponden al Proyecto de Tasaciones CRIM 360, que tiene como meta actualizar los registros del CRIM, el cual fue presentado el año pasado y forma parte del Plan Fiscal, que fue aprobado recientemente por la Junta de Control Fiscal.

“Este proyecto, según se explicó en junio del pasado año, consiste en la comparación de imágenes aéreas de fotometría, que datan del 2007, con unas más recientes del 2017, mediante las cuales se identifican cambios en las estructuras o construcciones nuevas, que no han sido notificadas ni registradas en el CRIM”, señalaron.

Indicaron que tal y como han explicado anteriormente, una vez se identifica el cambio en el predio o estructura, empleados del CRIM validan la información y el contribuyente recibe una notificación informándole sobre los hallazgos y si no está de acuerdo, el contribuyente puede objetar la misma, para que se proceda a inspeccionar la propiedad en cuestión.

De igual forma, indicaron que la actualización y registro de propiedades y mejoras no reportadas, hace justicia a todos los contribuyentes que cumplen cabalmente con su obligación contributiva, en la medida que logre identificar a los contribuyentes evasores.

Además, dieron a conocer que unos 60 municipios podrían saldar sus deudas acumuladas, gracias a los recaudos que se obtuvieron como parte del proyecto de pagos con descuentos, que llevó a cabo el CRIM.

Según los funcionarios, el programa de pagos con descuento para deudas atrasadas acumuladas, logró recaudar aproximadamente 213 millones de dólares, impactando un total de 57,074 catastros, a los que se les aplicó el descuento correspondiente solicitado por los contribuyentes a través de toda la Isla. Dicha cantidad de catastros, produjeron el pago de 789,960 facturas.

“Mediante este plan, los contribuyentes, que tenían deudas pendientes, pudieron atender deudas previas al año 2000 y muchos de ellos, cuyos catastros correspondían a propiedades comerciales, de herencias y sucesiones, pudieron realizar hasta procesos de compraventa, una vez lograron ponerse al día”, aseguraron.

Las deudas de los municipios corresponden a la Ley 42, Ley 146 y la Ley 29 que fue declarada Nula por el Tribunal.

Añadieron, que el ejercicio benefició a miles de contribuyentes y además ayudó a depurar el registro de cuentas por cobrar del CRIM, mientras que gran parte de los municipios pudieron pagar sus deudas, lo que les permitirá liberar fondos, que antes estaban dirigidos al pago de deuda. “El pago de las deudas atrasadas por parte de los municipios, permite que cuenten con disponibilidad de ingresos, que antes estaban comprometidos. Esto garantizará los servicios que ofrecen los municipios a los ciudadanos”.

Los municipios que aún quedan con alguna deuda pendiente son: Adjuntas, Arroyo, Barceloneta, Cataño, Cayey, Comerío, Culebra, Florida, Guayanilla, Guaynabo, Las Marías, Maricao, Maunabo, Patillas, Peñuelas, Ponce, Santa Isabel, Vieques y Villalba.

Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, has died in New York City, the former president announced on social media Thursday.

“I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”

The Trump family also released a statement. “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump. Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor.

“She fled from communism and embraced this country,” the statement continued. “She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”

The Trumps were a publicity power couple in New York in the 1980s and 1990s before their equally public, and messy, divorce after Donald Trump met his next wife, Marla Maples. But in recent years, Ivana Trump had been on good terms with her former husband. She wrote in a 2017 book that they spoke about once a week.

The police in St Elizabeth have ramped up their search for a man who was among a trio that abducted and raped a teenage girl in the Vineyard district in the parish in June this year.

Two of the men allegedly involved in the incident have been arrested and charged with abduction and Rape.

Charged are 26-year-old Troyan Lewis, also known as ‘Jubi’ and 56-year-old Andrew Miller, also called ‘Man A Yaad’, both of Vineyard district, St Elizabeth.

They are yet to face the court.

Lawmen in St Elizabeth say they are following several leads and are coordinating with officers from other police divisions to apprehend the third man.

“We take these kinds of things very seriously, we have to protect our girls and women and where we can’t protect them they will get justice for any wrong done to them,” an officer told Loop News.

Reports on the incident are sometime after 1:00 pm on June 16, the teen was chasing cows from her yard onto the main road when Miller, Lewis and another man approached her in a motorcar.

Lewis allegedly exited the vehicle and forced her inside the car; the teen was taken to a house where she was sexually assaulted.

A report was made to the police and an investigation launched.

Both men were apprehended separately and later charged following interviews.

For the first time, the World Athletics Championships is being held in the United States.

Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, the spiritual home of track and field in the country, will host the planet’s best athletes over 10 days starting Friday.

More than 1,900 athletes from 192 international teams will compete on track and field’s largest stage outside of the Olympics.

At the previous World Championships in 2019 in Doha, Jamaica won 12 medals (3 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze), one less than their record achievements in Berlin 2009 where the country secured 13 medals (7 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze).

In Oregon, sprint stars Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson will lead Jamaica’s push for medals. So Loop Sports took to the streets to ask: How many medals will Jamaica win in Oregon?

Minister Lauds RSLPF, Urges Public Support For Police Officers – St. Lucia Times News

On Wednesday, External Affairs Minister Alva Baptiste paid glowing tribute to members of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) while urging the public to support police officers.

“I am here to salute the police for playing their part in ensuring that our society does not degenerate into a place that we cannot recognise,” Baptiste told officers during the Police Commissioner’s Parade, the first in four years.

And Baptiste declared that those who want to understand the usefulness of his statement should try a society like Saint Lucia’s without the RSLPF.

The remark drew applause from his audience.

“Police officers are human beings just like us,” he observed, adding that members of the RSLPF have wives, husbands, children, and feelings like everyone else.

“When we select police officers we select them from amongst ourselves – the general society and so the police force is a microcosm of the society, just like the parliament, just like the teaching service and other departments within our own society,” the Laborie MP explained.

In this regard, Baptiste said the RSLPF is merely one aspect of the architecture of dealing with criminal activities in this country and responding to societal challenges.

But he noted that this gobalised world does not make it easier for police officers to discharge their responsibilities.

“People have more sophisticated weapons. They have cell phones that you could use as a tool, but it can also be used as a weapon just like a kitchen knife,” Baptiste observed.

As a result, he pointed out that the aspect of the RSLPF’s mandate to protect and serve is under much stress.

Nevertheless, the Minister said despite the constraints, he sees the RSLPF maintaining a high level of humanity and exhibiting respect for life and liberty.

“I see integrity in the police force guided by the principles of justice and I see courage that despite all the criticism, they maintain mental and moral strength. They stand by their fellow officers in the face of danger,” Baptiste told his audience.

“When we do see deficiencies in the police force, we must reflect on our own deficiencies because I said a few moments ago, they are human just like us,” the Minister asserted.

And Baptiste said it was incumbent on citizens to support the work of the RSLPF.
