LONDON (AP) — Chelsea have fired a recently hired senior executive for sending “inappropriate messages” before starting his job, the English Premier League club said on Wednesday.

The contract of Damian Willoughby, who worked as the club’s commercial director, was terminated with immediate effect, Chelsea said.

British newspaper The Daily Telegraph first reported on the departure of Willoughby, saying he sent a string of messages to a football finance agent, who has since made a complaint to Chelsea’s president of business, Tom Glick.

“Evidence of inappropriate messages sent by Mr Willoughby, prior to his appointment at Chelsea earlier this month, has recently been provided to and investigated by the club,” Chelsea said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.

“While they were sent prior to his employment at the club, such behaviour runs absolutely counter to the workplace environment and corporate culture being established by the club’s new ownership.”

Chelsea were bought in May for 2.5 billion pounds (then $3.2 billion) by a consortium fronted by American businessman Todd Boehly, part-owner of Los Angeles Dodgers.

“The club’s owners are working tirelessly to set and achieve the highest standards both on and off the pitch,” Chelsea said, “and are determined to establish and nurture a culture of transparency, accountability, inclusivity, diversity and opportunity.

“The club is committed to creating an environment which embodies these values.”

Willoughby started working for Chelsea this month. It is his second stint at the London club, having previously been employed there from 2007-10, the Telegraph reported.

Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley was among a number of CARICOM leaders who met with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House on September 15.

Vice President Harris underscored the importance of the U.S.-Caribbean relationship and the United States’ commitment to the Caribbean in the areas of energy security, development and climate finance, and food security.

The leaders also discussed ways to accelerate implementation of the U.S.-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis, also known as PACC 2030, which was launched at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.

Vice President Harris noted in her opening remarks, “… I will say, as I have said before, the relationship between the United States and the Caribbean is based on common bonds and interests.

As neighbors in the Western Hemisphere, we believe it is critical that we have a relationship that is based on close cooperation, knowing that the result of that will be our shared prosperity and security…”

Since the Summit of the Americas in June, the United States has committed $28 million to provide food security assistance to the Caribbean.

The United States will continue to work together through PACC 2030 and other initiatives to promote energy security, combat climate change, bolster food security, and encourage economic prosperity in the region.

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Program for Educational Advancement and Relevant Learning (OECS PEARL) announces the launch of the Special Education Needs (SEN) Survey on September 19th, 2022 in OECS countries.

The overarching goal of the SEN Survey is to support enhancements to the education of students with special education needs and disabilities across the OECS so that “Every Learner Succeeds”. ​

The OECS PEARL is a comprehensive four-year program of improvements to education.

It builds upon the significant progress that has been made in Special Education across the Caribbean and the OECS.

However, more improvements are required to ensure that all children have learning opportunities to reach their full potential.

The purpose of the SEN Survey is to collect information from multiple stakeholders to inform the development of an action plan of interventions to support students with special needs, a professional development plan to support their teachers and to inform the purchase of assistive devices to increase access to learning.

The OECS Commission calls on members of the public to be more conscientious and sensitive to people with special needs and to share in the data gathering effort.

People who love and care about children are encouraged to reach out to their local Ministry of Education to determine how they can contribute.

Very importantly, some children with special needs are not in school. Let us know how to reach them to provide the support for learning that they need.

The survey will be available for completion online from September 19, 2022. The OECS Commission invites Students, Parents, Educators, Healthcare Professionals and Community Members to participate in the survey. All information shared will be treated with confidentiality.

“Yo no he visto un camión de LUMA en Cayey”, expresa el alcalde Rolando Ortiz Velázquez

Aseguró que el servicio de agua potable, aunque la AAA ha hecho lo posible, se ve afectado por la falta de generación de energía

El alcalde de Cayey, Rolando Ortiz Velázquez, informó las condiciones en las que se encuentra su pueblo a tres días del paso de Fiona, que incluyen la falta de agua y luz en el 90 por ciento de la ciudad.

“Estamos en comunicación con Doriel Pagán (directora de la Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados [AAA]). Nos está colaborando extremadamente bien. Ya pudimos encender la planta de filtros de agua en el área del pueblo. Esperamos que en las próximas horas ya esto se pueda estar restableciendo […] Vemos la ausencia de LUMA para energizar los sistemas […] Cayey no tiene razón por la cual no tener energía eléctrica en este momento. Yo no he visto un camión de LUMA en Cayey […] LUMA no le ha querido responder a Cayey”, expresó Ortiz Velázquez al indicar que la situación será complicada para la ciudadanía si no se logra energizar lo antes posible para, a su vez, contar con el servicio de agua potable, pero que, aun así, no ha logrado comunicarse con la privatizadora.

Asimismo, el primer ejecutivo municipal informó que están brindando alimentos preparados, y que se mantiene en comunicación con el gobernador Pedro Pierluisi y otros líderes agenciales, con quienes coordina trámites que, al momento, van bien. Por otra parte, informó que los derrumbes se acumulan, puesto que tras limpiar un espacio, vuelve a llenarse de material debido a la saturación del terreno. Además, informó que la mayor parte de los refugiados se encuentran en hogares de familiares y vecinos.

Y aunque el caso de LUMA Energy mantiene preocupado al alcalde, indicó que no es igual el caso de la AAA. El alcalde describió que han hecho “lo indecible” tras instalar múltiples plantas y mejorar su capacidad de distribución, entre ellas, la del Puente de Hierro y la de Farallón. No obstante, mencionó que casi una decena de comunidades no disfrutarán de agua potable debido, precisamente, a la falta de energía. Además, afirmó que los comercios también sufren las consecuencias.

“No entendemos las razones. Quisiéramos entenderlas. Yo no he podido dialogar con un recurso de alto nivel que nos pueda dar una justificación y que nos pueda explicar. Sí vemos, en otros municipios, distribución de camiones. Es una cosa increíble y el hecho de que no quieran llegar hasta nosotros (el personal de LUMA Energy) es algo inhumano, injusto. Va en contra de los principios más altos de lo que puede ser el compromiso que tiene que tener una instrumentalidad pública que administra fondos públicos con la gente, con la familia”, finalizó Ortiz Velázquez.
