SAINTS HONOURED BY FRENCH GOVERNMENTRichard Wallis, SAMSAt Opening of Napoleonic General's Apartments

The French Government took the opportunity to honour local tradesmen who have worked on the refurbishment of Longwood House at the offi cial opening of Napoleonic General's Apartments and other projects in Longwood. The visiting Ambassador Jean Mendelson, of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development gave two awards. The ministry’s medal of honour was presented to Byron Knipe and Honorary French Consul Michel Dancoisne-Martineau in recognition of their work in the management of the French Properties. Another medal in bronze, that was specially made by “La Monnaie” in Paris for the Fondation Napoléon, to offi cially thank individuals who helped to ac-complishment the works on the island was also presented. Only 20 copies of this special medal were made for this occasion, each medal had been formally personalised with engraved names. Those honoured included builders, crafts-men, restorers and island representatives of the Fondation Napoléon.

TAKING TO THE SKY

TWO GUN SALUTE

Over 50 people attended an afternoon of kite fl ying at Francis Plain on Friday. Of all the celebrations planned for the Napoleonic Bicentenary this was the only one geared specifi cally towards children. On Sunday the Cancer Support and Awareness group was “amazed” when over 250 people turned up for their Pink Walk.

See inside for more on cancer awareness and bicentenary events.

HMS Lancaster performed a two gun salute instead of the planned high-speed pass to mark its departure on Friday after fears that the wake would cause dam-age to smaller boats moored in James Bay.

On Friday afternoon the scouts and cubs collaborated with tourism to host a kite fl ying afternoon. The event started slowly but at its peak Francis Plain held over 50 people fl ying kites fl ying. The cloudy grey skies were given a much needed splash of colour as kite after kite took to the heavens. As well as the cubs and scouts quite a few families attended and the kids who took part were allowed to keep the kites they used on the day.Prizes were awarded in three categories. The person who kept their kite airborne for the longest was William Caswell. The only person to show up with a homemade kite was Colby Richards, and Ebony Bruneton was the youngest fl yer.

Sign Me Up!New Business Directory

The preparations that are taking place for the future tourism industry are not only hap-pening here but internationally as well. Last week a new online St Helena business direc-tory was launched to shine a light on the is-lands offerings. “In a nutshell, the directory is an online Yel-low Pages, but tailored and custom designed to promote businesses and deliver information for tourism from a single website,” the site’s owner Jonathan Clingham said. The St Helena Business Directory is an online data base which is to list island businesses

and organisations. Jonathan believes this is a seamless way for returning Saints or tourists to fi nd a local service or organisation in one place, via the internet. The site is not only a benefi t to off-shore inter-ests as, “not every business can afford to have a website so this is ideal solution for a busi-ness that is already running but cannot afford advertising,” said Jonathan.

Since starting the site has already registered 35-40 businesses with more waiting for au-thorisation. To date it has received 800 visitors from 16 different counties, which is quite an achievement for a site that is so young. Jona-than hopes it will make local businesses more visible online but called for support from St Helena to ensure organisations sign up for the free service.

Over 250 people showed up to march against cancer and take part in the annual Pink Walk hosted by the Cancer Support and Awareness Group on Sunday at 2pm. Earlier that morning, the newly restored General’s Quarters at Longwood House was opened for tours for the very fi rst time. It made for a good atmosphere when walkers gathered in the gar-dens of Napoleon’s former residence before registering for the walk.As well as registration the charity also took the opportunity to raise more funds by selling pink merchandise. Even pets that had been brought along were soon sporting pink bandanas.A few who had youngsters tagging along opted for the shorter route but the major-

ity of walkers decided to take on the longer walk along The Avenue, past Foxy’s Garage through part of the Airport Access Road, past Reggie’s Takeaways and back to Longwood House. Everyone was in good spirits and the walk was completed within an hour after start-ing. Following the walk, participants enjoyed free tea and eats.Prizes were awarded on the day. Anthony Bennett was the fi rst man to complete the short walk and his son Blaine Bennett was the fi rst

boy under the age of 15. In the ladies category, Rosie and Marcella Mittens scooped prizes for the fi rst lady and girl to complete the walk.For the long route the fi rst lady to return was Anita Robbertse and Arthur Leo was the fi rst male. Lucas Robbertse and Morgan Hannah picked up the under 15s prizes.The organisers we overwhelmed by the sup-port the walk received, “I was amazed at the level of support shown” Nicola Essex said.

What an amazing few weeks we’ve re-cently had on and it is evident that we have much to celebrate on St Helena! So much seems to have been packed into such a short time. Cancer Awareness activities and fun-draising, including the brilliant fi re engine pull at the seafront followed by ‘shaving and waxing’ of some brave men in the Mule Yard it is an important event in the island’s calen-dar and was well supported.

HMS Lancaster and RFA Gold Rover visited for a few days to take part in the Napoleonic Bicentenary celebrations which contributed towards an increased buzz around the island and ended with a sail past the bay and HMS Lancaster giving a two gun salute.It is hoped that businesses on the island prof-ited from the increase in tourists and offi cial visitors during the celebrations.

I don’t envy anyone who works in tourism on the island, or those who promote the island as it must be a hard job to sell St Helena to the world without knowing what the tourist market will want. There is no denying it; Na-poleon’s time on the island has played a large part in adding more to the islands history. We truly do have community spirit, which brings me on to my next topic...

Life 250 years ago was different to how we live it today, slavery hadn’t been abolished, and war atrocities were acceptable.

Basic research on Napoleon through the web and even historical documents shows that he was not always the nicest person and not al-ways putting his troops and people fi rst. He was a military man who travelled throughout Europe and the Middle East with his troops, and is considered one of the greatest military men, he even crowned himself emperor.

I appreciate that Napoleon makes St Helena a tourist attraction due to his exile here, but should we really be celebrating someone who was imprisoned to the island as a pris-oner by the British?

YOUR LETTERS/ST HELENA SNIPPETSwww.sams.shTHE SENTINEL | Thursday 22 October 2015

Dear Editor The group of French and the offi cial delega-tion have now left the island. Although the vis-it started by a disappointment when it was an-nounced the commemorative stamps and coins had not arrived on the island, it was overall a great success for the promotion not only for the French properties but also for the island as a whole.

The bicentenary of the arrival of Napoleon was organised with the Tourist offi ce in a pro-fessional, respectful and effi cient manner. Hel-ena Bennett and her team have just been per-fect. From the comments made by the group, the words “respectful”, “dignity”, “effi cient”, “courteous”, “pleasant” were used non-stop. Without the Tourist offi ce team I would have never been able to deliver so much. The whole group has left with life-time souvenirs. And of course, Merrill Joshua A.K.A. Napoleon was just perfect in his role.

But, this was not all.

The efforts made by various shops and organ-isations were so appreciated by our visitors. I have already seen pictures of the widows of the Art and Crafts and the Rose & Crown all over the French Social Media pages and al-ways with praises and compliments.

Under the direction of Teeny Lucy and Cathy Hopkins, the St Helena Ladies Orchestra, the Brass Monkeys, the Bug-Eye Tuners, the Palm Villa Singers, the String Trio, the promising young talents Jade Leo and Shelby Bargo, the gifted Alice Germany, the virtuoso Lauren Evans, the dazzling Lizemarie Robberste, the transcendent voice of Charlotte Collier, the brilliant Jon Lambdon, the music lover Steve

Terry, the incomparable ladies Ivy Ellick and Gay Marr, the melodious Jane Fenwick of-fered us unforgettable musical moments con-cluded with an impressive Marseillaise.

Likewise, the kindness of individuals like Harry Legg who allowed the group to visit his historical dwelling of Alarm House, Helen Lawrence who invited the whole group for an unexpected but so welcome tea, coffees and amazing cakes (specially the chocolate one !) at Maldivia, Áine O’Keeffe who shared her art show and birthday party with the whole group, Pastor Graeme Beckett for his enthusiasm and communicative love for military music, and Paul Starkie for his warm welcome before the projection of the movie “The Man on the Rock”.

Moreover, through the recently restored Long-wood House the French group and offi cial delegation were able to see for themselves the skill of the local craftsmen and entrepreneurs. The name of Charlie George kept being men-tioned as he did with Damian Stroud, amaz-ing wood works there. Likewise for Brian Yon who brought everything and everyone to light.But of course, the place of honour was taken by Johnny Isaac who, under his leadership so many local gifted workers contributed to transform Longwood House to its pres-ent state: I am not only thinking about Gary Constantine, Alwyn Henry, Joey Peters, Alan Thomas, Jason Benjamin who I kept working with, but also Kelvin Williams, Dennis Owen, Dane Leo, Geordie Andrews, Adam Fowler, Callum Ellick, Craig Williams, Jamie O’Dean, Alex Knipe, Elvis Fowler, Denzil Yon, Martin Constantine, Clayton Leo, Brendan Leo, San-jay Clingham, Roy Andrews, Arthur Osborne, Joey Bennett, Raymond Herne, Colin Knipe,

Julian Henry, Clayton Yon, Marico George, Dalton George, Paul Clifford, Fabian Peters, Brian Knipe, Dion Phillips and Basil Francis.

The delegation also appreciated and praised the kindness of the people of St. Helena they met during the food festival and the ones they had to deal with: the resourceful Foxy’s team, the smart Pennell Benjamin, the so-reassuring team of the enchanted isle, the unequalled tour operator Aaron Legg, the bilingual Lord Bish-op and the master of ceremony Father Dale Bowers.

Regarding the activities, the nine days of their stay were extremely busy as the Cancer Sup-port and Awareness group had the kindness to theme their activities around the bicentenary. The Regency Ball at the Castle was a huge suc-cess!!! But not only this it was also a pleasure and an honour for me to host the Pink Walk tea party at Longwood house. In this abundance of activities, the reception at the Briars Pavilion by His Excellency the Governor came through like a shooting star in this austral sky.

Then, as a surprise for all of us, was the visit of the Royal Navy with the HMS Lancaster and RFA Gold Rover. What wonderful news. His Excellency the Governor Mark Capes sug-gested the idea of such a visit over a year ago. I am so happy he had been heard as the navy added the glory and dignity to the celebrations. In spite of the short notice, the deputy-Gover-nor, Sean Burns together with his wife Marina and his assistant Sandra Sim made everything looking like it was long time planned.

Bravo !

Michel Dancoisne-Martineau

Pavement Set to be Extended Past the Market

Enterprise St Helena has plans to smarten up Jamestown. The blueprint shows a new pavement from outside the Star, past the Mar-ket, to the Rose and Crown. It will be paved in the same style as pavements which were laid last year up Main Street. The pavement outside the Canister will also be extended further into the roundabout to protect the trees from cars. A newly-built fountain will also be put in place there. This will be a replica of the one which was put up to remember the people who died in the 1890 rock fall.Because the pavement will be extended out-side Brown’s video shop the pedestrian area opposite that, next to the Tourism Offi ce, will be taken away. David Goodrick and Merrill Joshua from En-

terprise St Helena told the Environment and Natural Resources Committee that the larger pavements and curbs will keep pedestrians safe as they are separated from the traffi c. The plan also includes a bus stop by the Mala-bar and a zebra crossing outside Thorpe’s gro-cery shop.The proposed changes to Jamestown are part of a larger effort which will also create a new viewing area at Button-Up Corner and pass-ing bays on the road leading up to High Knoll Fort. ESH have funding for the project until the end of the fi nancial year and will lose the money unless it is spent before April. Therefore Mr Joshua and Mr Goodrick were very keen to stress to the committee that they needed to make progress on the project quickly. They have now agreed to return to the next meeting with more concrete proposals.

The Queen's FrigateRoyal Navy Joins Bicentenary CelebrationsAnne Clarke, SAMS

The Lancaster operates a Wildcat which is a mulit-purpose helicopter capable of a wide range of roles from anti-submarine warfare to search and rescue. The Wildcat is the latest generation of muti-role helicopter and the Lan-caster was the fi rst ship to carry one. as well as a few fl y over's, during the ships stay, the

Wildcat

AmmoHMS Lancaster is fi tted with a vertical launch Sea-wolf missile system; the ships fi rst line of defence against aircraft and incoming missile attack.

Among the many weapons is a 4.5" Mk 8 Gun, which is operated by foot pedal.

Wildcat made history on 14 October when she touched down and became the fi rst ever rotary-wing aircraft to land at the island's Airport. St Helena's Sea Rescue team caught another glimpse off her capabilities on Friday morning, when the aircraft took part in a mi-nor incident exercise.

Arriving in time to take part in the bicentennial anniversary of Napoleon's arrival to the island was the Royal Navy Frigate HMS Lancaster and fuel tanker RFA Gold Rover. As a part of the celebrations, I was privileged to be given a tour of the HMS Lancaster.HMS Lancaster is a Type 23 Duke Class frigate, weighing a massive 4500 tonnes, and measures 133 metres in length. The vessel is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 30 knots. She is nicked named the Queen’s Frigate after the Duke of Lancaster one of the many titles Her Majesty the Queen holds. The British Monarch is said to closely follow the Lancaster's activities. She was launched by Her Majesty on 24 May 1990 and was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 1 May 1992.

Ships CompanyHaving completed two thirds of their nine month deployment, and so far travelled over 24,000 miles with over 14 port visits on four continents, the complement of around 200 sailors are divided amongst the main depart-ments - operations, weapon engineering, ma-rine engineering and logistics, there is also a few marines currently travelling this particu-lar leg of their journey. During their visit to the island, the ships company took part in football and basket ball matches and a wreath laying ceremony at Napoleons Tomb on the exact date of the Emperor’s exile to St Helena .

Maybe we will avoid some of the mistakes and most damag-ing choices they have made in the past. Maybe we will make our own disasters but at least I now know that there are people across the world who care about St Helena and want to come and see us, and that is worth ten days travelling."

PAYING TRIBUTE TO OUR DARK PASTConcept Drawings Invited for Memorial and Reburial Site at Ruperts

The St Helena National Trust are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from interested persons to come up with concept drawings for a public garden in Ruperts; in memory of those that died during the liberation of Afri-can slaves on St Helena.Earlier in the year a working group made up of stakeholders from island organisations, in-cluding a few councillors, sent out a survey to help them decide what would be done with the human remains that were found in Ru-perts Valley. Out of the 254 responses, 65% chose reburial as the preferred option; with an ossuary or curate as the other choices.The working group have identifi ed a site at Ruperts to rebury and memorialise the remains. The area is currently occupied by the temporary fuel facility near St Michaels Church. “Once Basil Read demobilise from that area, we can utilise the space to create a lovely memorial and, of course, reburial of the human remains,” said Lauren Evans, a member of the working group from the Air Access Offi ce.The idea of the EOI for concept drawings came after the creative talent of locals was noticed by members of the working group. “We felt really strongly as a working group that it should be something from the com-munity ideally,” said Director of the Trust,

Jeremy Harris. “In terms of what it involves, I think it’s really down to people’s creativity. We are going to be pretty open to seeing what people come up with,” he added.Despite this, there are some elements that must be included in the design. These include ac-commodation of 325 human remains in small wooden coffi ns; estimated to take up 120 square metres, public seating, stonework, me-morial structure, plant landscaping, signage, and also parking; approxi-mately fi ve normal spaces and one dis-abled bay. The site must also be ac-cessible from the airport access road and be shielded from nearby indus-trial areas.As Ruperts is quite a busy area at the moment there is no defi nite time scale on when the project will take place, but the concept draw-ings will provide the working group with a vi-sion. “At this stage we’re looking for ideas and drawings, it doesn’t have to be a really detailed to-scale plan or anything, just some ideas.”It is planned for the person with the chosen de-sign to work alongside the working group on the project. “If there is somebody who clearly

emerges as having the bulk of the ideas or a good concept for the overall site,” said Jer-emy, “I would defi nitely invite that person into the working group to help us bring it to life.”Once the project is fi nished, it is hoped the memorial will not only provide a peaceful and respectful fi nal resting place for the

disturbed liberated African remains, but also acknowledge St Helena’s role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the tragedy it brought.Deadline for submissions of concept draw-ings is 4pm on Friday 30 October. A full de-sign brief as well as A3-sized map with dis-tance scales and a geo-referenced auto cad drawing of the plot is available upon request from the St Helena National Trust.

Each year, St Helena supports the Royal British Legion’s work through the St Helena Poppy Appeal. The poppy appeal is the Le-gion’s largest annual fundraising campaign and each year has a dif-ferent focus. This year, The Royal British Legion continues to mark the centenary of the First World War and asks everyone to support the appeal in memory of the fallen and the future of the living.

The poppy is a powerful symbol - worn to commemorate the sacrifi c-es of our Armed Forces and to show support to those serving today, along with their loved ones. The remembrance poppy is especially prominent in the UK - and here on St Helena in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday (on 8 November 2015).

On Saturday 24 and Saturday 31 October, plus Saturday 7 No-vember, the Poppy Appeal - led by Mike Durnford - will be rais-ing funds in lower Jamestown - through the distribution of poppy wristbands, lapel pins, emblem stickers, badges, rulers, bracelets and standard poppies. Uniformed contingents of ex-servicemen, Salva-tion Army members, Scouts, Guides and volunteers - will be mak-ing their way through Main Street and members of the public are encouraged to support the appeal and obtain their poppies in advance of Remembrance Sunday.

The Remembrance Service will be held on Sunday 8 November 2015 at the Cenotaph, beginning at 10.55 am.

Encouraging Career DevelopmentHannah Durnford, SAMS

This year’s careers fair could very well be an important one as it will show where St Hel-ena is heading in the future, in terms of the air-port and business opportunities. Work Devel-opment Coordinator, Cynthia Bennett told The Sentinel, “People are very excited and keen, as they realise how important career information is in our personal development.”It will be different this year as there will be a lot more demonstrations, “people build up their interest by seeing what goes on,” Cynthia said. Some of the government and private sectors which will be there on the day includes the St Helena National Trust, SHAPE and Stretch’s Extreme Cuts. There will also be a stall on the apprenticeship scheme, demonstrating what can be achieved through the scheme, “the fair will allow students to aim towards their career paths and give them an idea as to what they would like to do and how they can get there,” Cynthia added. The careers fair will be extended into the evening, on 28 October, opening at 10am and

closing at 3:30pm and then re-opening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The Saint Sizzler snack bar will be open throughout the day and Prince Andrew School will also be laying on trans-port to allow more people to come to the fair. Cynthia said, “I hope this career fair will pro-vide some boost and motivation for people

into their future career development. This is why it is so important for all of us on St Helena to be concentrating on our development; all of us need to be doing this together to ensure that our standards are kept up. I really hope people will take the opportunity and come to the fair,” Cynthia said.

Should Overseas Territories vote in UK elections?Anthony Webber is a political analyst and commentator who was a Member of the Guernsey States between 1991 and 2004.

There are always matters of interest for the British Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies at the UK main parties’ con-ferences.Some have a very direct connection, and one matter of interest is the recent formation of the Friends of the British Overseas Territo-ries, FOTBOT. Its purpose is to bring together people from all sixteen British Overseas Ter-ritories, and to promote, support and increase awareness of them. It was set up mainly by young people who were students and while it has charitable aims, it also brings about dis-cussion of the political issues which affect the BOTs. The meetings are already attended by those from the three Crown Dependencies as well, and it is intended to formally include them soon. Gibraltar plays a very prominent role in FOTBOT.At the Conservative Party conference, which I also attended, FOTBOT held a fringe meet-ing attended by about 100 plus people, where the focus was a “question time” panel discus-sion on political issues pertaining to British Overseas Territories.Amongst those attending were representa-tives of BOT and Crown Dependencies’ gov-ernments.

There were a number of interesting questions put to the Panel, the most pertinent of which was, should the BOT’s and Crown Dependen-cies have representation in the UK parliament?Andrew Rosindell, MP, who is seen as a great supporter of the BOT’s and Crown Dependen-cies, put forward the view that the onset of devolution in the UK had inevitably made rep-resentation in the two Houses of Parliament a matter which merited serious consideration by all concerned.It could now be argued that home countries such as Scotland have as much autonomy as some BOTs and Crown Dependencies, yet they have the advantage of representation in Westminster as well.Andrew pointed out that the French, Dutch, and Danish overseas territories all had elected representation in the respective national par-liaments, yet British territories didn’t.Not only should House of Commons represen-tation be looked at, but also having Members of the House of Lords, which could happen much sooner.Andrew pointed out that with over 830 Mem-bers it was only fair to allow some BOT and Crown Dependency Members of the House of Lords.He also said that government ministers came and went, and although relationships could be built up with them, there was logic in having direct representation too.He said he didn’t trust the Foreign Offi ce and that was a reason why he was on the Foreign

Affairs Committee in parliament.He said the BOTs and Crown Dependencies had mixed opinions about full Westminster representation, and some had London offi ces to promote their causes. Some were happy with the relationships they had through the UK government departments responsible for them.However, this was not the same as having proper representation, and UK MP’s are only able to look after the interests of their own constituents, and not those from anywhere else.Andrew was pleased that at last discussion had started on BOT and Crown Dependen-cies’ representation in Westminster, and that progress could now be achieved in that di-rection.I also contributed to this debate and I will openly admit that in my thirteen years as an elected States of Guernsey Member, I never questioned to any great degree the consti-tutional relationship between Guernsey and the UK government, and whether we should have representation in Westminster. How-ever, times have changed, the world has moved on, devolution has taken place, and it is only right that we should have our say in the British parliament on matters such as foreign affairs and defence, and indeed any issues which affect us. I feel change is go-ing to come and we need to be putting our own ideas forward about what sort of change suits us best.

Ascension Bicentenary As Napoleon was settling into an uncomfortable existence on St Helena, the British were worried. What if Napoleon was to escape again? Could Europe withstand the warring emperor a third time? As if St Helena was not remote enough, the British Navy headed to Ascension Island to make sure

that it could not be used as a staging post to help Napoleon escape. The Zenobia and Pe-ruvian ships landed on 22 October and the Royal Navy designated the island as a stone frigate called HMS Ascension.Now, 200 years later, Ascension Island is celebrating its bicentenary. St Helena may have been made famous by Napoleon, but the community of Ascension was entirely created by Napoleon’s exile. To mark this historic occasion, Rachel Hol-land spoke to Saints living on Ascension about what the island means to them.

Contribution, Rachel Holland

CYRIL LEO(with wife Delphia and children Ben, Shaun and David)

“I have been living on Ascension since July 1968. During that time I have seen many changes, and many of those changes have brought about improvements benefi cial to Saints on Ascension. In numerous ways, Saints working on Ascension have always been a crucial source of support for St Helena. As within most communities, there is always room for further improvements, and Ascension has so much potential on offer. The people on Ascension are resource-ful and want to succeed Special endorsement: Ascension

is a fantastic place for raising children.”

Stedson Stroud arrived on Ascension late 1967, then off and on from 1982. He has been with the Conservation Department from 2003 to present.“Ascension Island gives amazing and genuine friendliness and kindness to people from all walks of life from around the world, once they have stepped foot on her soil.”

STEDSON STROUD

“‘Home is where the heart is’ - without a doubt a true say-

ing but realistically for me even though I was born and bred on Ascension Island (1962 - 50 years plus - has it really been that long!) I’ve always accepted the fact that there is no right of abode on Ascension so when I refer to ‘back home’, I do mean St Helena; the place I will even-tually go back to and not Ascension. I do fi nd it strange referring to St Helena as ‘home’ when I was actually born on Ascension but I know it can never be somewhere to put down my roots, if I had chosen it as the ultimate retire-ment place for me and my family.With all the memories of my childhood and the many changes I’ve seen whilst growing up on this wonderful and unique island, maybe one day I will be writing my autobiography.”

PATSY MOYCE

Nicola has lived on Ascension for one year in 1974-75 and again from 2002 to 2008 and from 2010 to the present.“Currently Ascension is ideally lo-cated for me to keep in touch with family in St Helena, the UK and further afi eld (I have a daughter in Australia). It feels like home away from home as it has always played a major part in my life and also for the majority of St Helenians as most of us have either lived and worked on Ascension, or have had family members who have lived here.”NICOLA DILLON

is a fantachildren.”

MARY THOMPSON

Mary has lived on Ascension Island for 12 years.

“Despite its remoteness, As-cension is a really unique and interesting little island. More importantly, the warmth and friendliness of the Island’s residents makes living here a real pleasure.”

Ascension Bicentenary JACQUI ELLICKICK

Jacqui has called Ascension Island home from 1967 – 1976, and then from 1994 to the present.“To me Ascension is a very special and unique place. I love the extreme contrasts of the island, from the white sandy beaches where green turtles visit every year to lay their eggs, to the starkness of the vol-canic landscape. And then you have the mountain which is so green and lush, and on a clear day you have beautiful views of the whole island and surrounding coastline below.”CHERYL ANTHONY

“I arrived on Ascension Island from St Helena in October 1969 at the age of seven. My dad worked for Cable & Wireless which meant my mum, 10 month old brother Carl and I could accompany him during his contract.

Being on Ascension for 46 years does mean a lot to me, especially getting married to Rob-ert and my three children (Mario, Kirsty and Corey) being born here; it’s a carefree place; medical services are great, especially if further medical attention is needed that cannot be dealt with on Ascension as we have the privilege of being medivac-ed to the UK. To sum up Ascension - It’s a feeling of home away from home.”

SENTINEL REBOOT - Local news from this time last year

The sun was peeking through the clouds this Saturday when St Helena’s biannual Carnival adorned length of Jamestown. With stalls set up throughout the morning, as the time approached large crowds gathered to see the fl oats and marchers. The parade started by the hospital, making its way down the street before passing through the archway and terminating at the wharf.

It is 20 weeks since the start of the Main Street Enhancement Project and the work is nearly complete with just a few more metres to go. Lower Jamestown has been trans-formed since early June from an uneven and unsafe pathway to fl at, even paving stones and bollards that have made Main Street a safer place.

“Excuse me sir,” said the man to one of the stewards on an Amtrak Train, “I always get nauseous when I go on trains, so I am going to take a heavy sleeping pill, but please do whatever you can to make sure I get off when it stops in Baltimore. I really don’t want to miss my great aunt’s funeral.” “Sure thing!” said the steward happily, “we’ll make you sure you get off!”Six hours later the train stopped in Washington D.C. and the man jumped out of his seat in a panic, “WHAT THE HECK! I ASKED YOU TO WAKE ME UP IN BALTIMORE!”“Oh boy! He looks mad!” remarked the fellow behind him to his wife.“Not half as mad as that other guy they carried off back in Baltimore,” she whispered back.

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not sure…” “Look in your underwear, Grandma,” he advised, “mine says I’m 4 to 6.”

CHANGES TO WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

At its meeting on 15 October 2015, the Environment & Natural Resources Committee agreed the following changes to the St Hel-ena Waste Management Services with immediate effect:• The collection of waste from commercial premises (shops and bars) in Jamestown will reduce from the current fi ve day a week service to four days a week. As a result, there will be no collection of waste from commercial premises in Jamestown on Tuesdays.

Tuesday is the waste collection day for the Half Tree Hollow area - the largest of all domestic waste collection routes. The volume of waste on the HTH route often exceeds what the RCVs can safely col-lect - and reducing collection of commercial waste from fi ve days a week to four in Jamestown provides the necessary increased capacity in the RCVs to safely complete the entire route on a Tuesday. • The twice weekly collection of household waste in Jamestown will reduce to a one day per week service, consistent with all other residential properties on the Island. Household waste in Jamestown will therefore now only be collected from residential properties on Fridays.

This change realises a reduction in vehicle and fuel use and frees staff to undertake other waste management tasks for the benefi t of all residents.For further information contact the Environmental Risk Man-ager, Mike Durnford, on tel: 24724 or email [email protected], 19 October 2015

Celebrating St Helenian Culture and ArtworkCreative St Helena Arts Festival

The festival, which will start at 2pm, will also see the launch of the second Speaking Saint book. There will be readings by people who have worked together to write the book. Dur-ing the evening will be the fashion show. All clothes used in the show have been made on island, “It is really exciting. The girls have been working really hard with different wom-en on the island to get it all ready,” Pamela added, “we’re trying to make it a really nice day out, it is going to be a real celebration of St Helenian culture and artwork.”

Hannah Durnford, SAMS

Creative St Helena will be holding an arts festival at High Knoll Fort to round up a com-bination of, their projects on St Helena. Over the year, Creative St Helena has been doing the start programme with young artists on St Helena. Director of Creative St Helena, Pamela Murray told The Sentinel, “We wanted to fi nd an unusual space to exhibit some of the work that the artists have been doing. Our plan is to try and turn the fort into an arts festival as much as possible and place sculptures and dif-ferent kinds of artwork in there as well.”

Two hundred gumwoods were planted at the Millennium Forest during Bicentenary Week. On Thursday 15th October 2015 all ex-pectations was exceeded when all the endemic trees were bedded in with substantial help from the Navy, the French Delegation, Saints and tourists. Local contributors were Helena Bennett, Zedella Young, Qhi Sim-Green, Joel and Merle Peters. Bronwyn and David Street from Australia turned up early and helped ex-cavate some holes in readiness. At the end of the day, the donation tin for trees and certifi -cates yielded £141.00 which was very gener-ous. Thank you to all who participated and supported the event.Dedicated staff and volunteers at St Helena National Trust harvest, seed sow and bring

on a number of endemics for planting all year around in an effort to turn the tide against in-vasive species. Our work is supported by the Darwin Initiative as part of the Community Forest Project. It’s never too late to plant a tree. The Millen-

nium Forest Nursery produces a number of different endemic plants that members of the public can dedicate to a loved one. For exam-ple this could be in memory of a relative/friend that has passed on or the birth of a child. For further information call Jessi on 22190.

Binning ItWaste Services Announce Major ChangesAugust Graham, SAMS

Households in Jamestown will now only have their rubbish collected once every week, while shops and bars in the capital will get four weekly collections, rather than fi ve. The government have also announced a free disposal service for bulky waste and changes to the landfi ll site. In the past Jamestown has been the only place on island with household collections more than once a week. The new develop-ment, which brings the capital in line with other districts, means that this week was the last time bins were collected from houses on

a Monday. Shops and bars in Jamestown will no lon-ger have their bins collected every weekday. At a meeting of the environment committee last week EMD’s Mike Durnford said that sometimes the bin lorries are not able to col-

lect waste from Prince Andrew School on a Tuesday, which has a knock-on effect on Wednesday’s service. This is because the trucks often fi ll up before getting to PAS. SHG have also announced they will be of-fering a free bulky waste service taking among other things scrap metal, wood and white goods. The service will be offered on different days in different districts. However it will not be available in Levelwood until the trenching works between there and San-dy Bay have fi nished. New opening times for the landfi ll site at Horse Point have also been put in place. The site will now be open from Monday to Saturday, 9am to 3pm, but will be closed on Sunday. These new changes are part of a long line since the Environmental Management Di-vision took over waste management from Public Health earlier this year. Perhaps most notable has been the introduction of wheelie bins for the island’s houses and businesses.

Philippians 2:3-4“Let nothing be done through selfi sh ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Let each of you look out not only for your own inter-ests, but also for the interests of others”There is a strange human trend that has taken hold of many people today. It’s a general de-sire to pull others down. The world has be-come a terrible place where people celebrate the fall and demise of others. A lot of pleasure is generated when someone falls from grace or is humiliated. It has become common cause when in order to get ahead, political foes will go out of their way to search for the worst of the opponent’s history. When it is found, they will parade it for all to know and with little thought that a life might be ruined and a fam-ily destroyed. In our schools, work places, and communi-ties in general, the desire to get ahead is so strong that it can only be achieved through bad mouthing others, being malicious and fi nding fault that will confi ne the individual to utter humiliation.Should life really be like that, that the joys of our lives are gained against the backdrop of another’s pain? We celebrate at the misfortune of others and further compound the problem through our attitude and actions.Wherever we are they are people crying out for love, yearning for warmth and perhaps you are God’s chosen instrument to supply that very need. Love is probably the easiest thing to share, a little smile here, a bit of consider-ation there, a listening ear and where possible more.It is easy to be an ordinary human being, by going out of your way to pull someone down who is already battling a mirage of challenges. It is however better to be an extra-ordinary be-ing by trying to lighten the load for them.

New Bus Service Delayed by Two MonthsA new public transport schedule, which was due to start two months ago, has still not been implemented and SHG cannot say when it is likely to commence. Joshua’s Taxis, who have bid for the service, told The Sentinel they are still waiting to hear from government.A report from Elan Public Transport Con-sultancy, which was commissioned by SHG, recommended that a new contractor should be selected by February 2015, and the service should start March.Despite these recommendations it was not un-til the end of March the government started ad-vertising for a ten-year contract for the public transport system, they asked for expressions of interest by the middle of April. In the advert SHG said the new bus service would start on 7 August. By the time they asked for businesses to tender for the contract, it had been reduced to a fi ve-year deal. The initial deadline for submission was extended from 10 to 27 July. However Joshua’s Taxis, the current service providers, told The Sentinel this week they did

not submit their bid until September.A proposed new timetable was published in January and contains new routes and extra journeys on old ones. Joshua’s Taxis told The Sentinel there are not enough busses for this extra service, but they will be given the option to buy vehicles from SHG.Now, over two months since the new contract was due to start, the bus service is still being provided by Joshua’s Taxis according to the old time table.

Pond weeds Amphibian eggs Malarial mosquitoes Water snails Fish lice

3. OTHER PESTS: The fish come in their own world, the world of water. Unfortunately they may not be alone. The water can contain fish parasites, snail and amphibian eggs, mosquito and midge larvae, and a range of plant seeds. A common water snail for example is the host for liver fluke; another, bilharzia - both diseases of man. Certain mosquitoes spread malaria, certain midges diseases like Blue Tongue. Worldwide a number of decorative but invasive water weeds are causing havoc choking waterways and reservoirs after being accidentally introduced. For this reason a condition of your licence is that you bring in no pondweed, and that the water is changed and clean.

4. COLD WATER OR TROPICAL: Believe it or not, even fish have rights! A common misunderstanding is mixing tropical fish with coldwater fish, and this can cause welfare problems. Guppies, mollies and plecos, for example need water that is around 24 to 27 centigrade, whereas goldfish such as fantails, comets, moors and shubunkins only 17 to 23 centigrade. They are not compatible; they should not be mixed. By all means bring both in,

but have a heater for the tropicals and keep them separate.

5. INVASIVES: No fish owners on St Helena are into collecting marine tropicals… yet. They’re very expensive, difficult to keep and anyway the best collection here is in the remarkable sea all around. But one day it might happen – aquaria in hotels for example - and the danger is that someone releases them into the ocean. This has occurred with the Pacific Lion Fish, released deliberately into the Caribbean. It is a vicious predator on the wrong side of the Americas, and is now wiping out many coral reef ecosystems and species. It is a good example of what can go wrong. Importing though is simple. Ask for an application form from the Senior Veterinary Officer, Joe Hollins at ANRD or email [email protected] or visit our website (see below). Fill in the details when overseas and send by email – use an Internet café if needed. This must be done before boarding the RMS. All being well a licence will be issued electronically and sent to the ship, then the fish will be inspected on arrival before landing.

Leaflets, import health standards & licence application forms are available on the biosecurity page of the SHG website http://www.sainthelena.gov.sh/st-helena-biosecurity-service/.

PROPOSED NEW FOOD SAFETY

ORDINANCE

BED AND BREAKFAST ESTABLISHMENTS

With the growth of tourism on St Helena there may be those wishing to offer a Bed and Breakfast service. The B&B as it is called, is a small lodging establishment - normally a private or family home - that offers overnight accommodation, including breakfast (but usually does not offer other meals). For the next few weeks, the Enviromental Health Section will be providing guidance on the food safety and health and safety requirements that apply to B&Bs.

Food SafetyThe main legislation affecting the establishment of a B&B is the Food Hygiene Regulations. The new regulations will soon be introduced, under which a number of specifi c regulations are made to apply to all food premises.

What is a Food Premises?A Food Premises is any premises used as a food business, including bake houses and private dwellings used to prepare food for sale.

Food Premises RegistrationRegistration as a food premises with the Environmental Health Section is a legal requirement. Registration forms are available from the Environmental Health Section and failure to register is an offence. Routine food hygiene inspections can be carried out at any reasonable time with notice by an offi cer from this Section, and they can inspect without prior notifi cation when investigating complaints.

Inspection TopicsWhen visiting a premises the main food hygiene requirements and topics that the inspecting offi cer may wish to discuss and will be as-sessing during a routine food hygiene inspection are:

• Size of the kitchen/production area • Lighting • Ventilation • Equipment • Surfaces - size and intended use • Cleaning • Waste• Pest control

A more in depth description is given below:

Structure Floors, walls, ceilings, doors and windows must be in good condition. They must be able to be cleaned and disinfected.

Lighting and VentilationShould be provided in all parts of the premises, and can be either natural or artifi cial. The type of ventilation will depend on the size and activity of the kitchen. For small premises with low heat production, opening windows or doors may be used. If this is the case, proofi ng against the entry of insects may need to be considered.

EquipmentAll equipment that you use must be kept clean and maintained in a good condition. Equipment must be suitable for the intended purpose.

Cleaning facilities There must be facilities for washing food and equipment. These must be kept clean and have a continuous supply of hot and cold water.

Refuse DisposalFood waste and other refuse must not be allowed to accumulate in any kitchen. The containers used for food waste must be easy to clean and disinfect and must be kept in good condition. Any refuse container used for storage of waste awaiting collection must have a lid and be made of a durable material that can be easily cleaned and disinfected.

Pest ControlYou must take steps to prevent and control entry of pests onto your premises. Pests include mice, rats, birds and insects (eg. cockroaches).More on B&B requirements next week.

Turning the Green PinkLadies to show support for cancer awareness through golf

‘Turn the Greens Pink’ is the brainchild of the Longwood Golf Club Ladies’ Open Champion Sonia Niemand. “October is the most beautiful month of the year and the island is putting so much effort into Cancer Awareness, being a lady golfer I thought why not do something for a great cause with something that I love to do,” Sonia told The Sentinel when we asked what gave her the inspira-tion to organise such an event.The event will see a golfer join two non-golfers to play a Texas Scramble, which is one of the most enjoyable forms of golf. “Firstly we would like to try and collect as much money to

donate to Cancer Awareness,” said Sonia. “Secondly is to get some pink on the green. The golf club is re-ally in need of lady golfers and getting the ladies to understand how golf works and the rules while having fun would make them feel more comfortable in start-ing to play golf on a regular basis.”Taking part in the event costs £10. The fees will be evenly split between the golf club and the Cancer Awareness and Support Group.Following the golf there will be a reception at the club house and a prize giving ceremony. Thanks to generous sponsorships there will be prizes not just for the overall winners but for smaller accolades like being nearest to the pin on a particular par three and much more. “Having a fun day out with the ladies on the golf

course while doing it for a great cause seems like a day to remember,”

Sonia said.

SAINT VETERANS STILL GOT ITSaints Roll Back the Years to Fire Seven Past Lancaster Veterans

On Wednesday 14 October, the St Hel-ena Veterans (average age 40) lined up

against a veteran team from the HMS Lancaster (average age 30). The Saints started well creating a number of chances in the fi rst ten minutes. Against the run of play HMS Lan-caster scored when their striker received a ball over the top before running through and lobbing goalkeeper Peter

Young.The Saints continued to dominate the midfi eld and were soon

level. The equaliser came after HMS Lancaster failed to clear a corner allowing Nick Stevens to fl ick the

ball into the roof of the net from inside the 6 yard box. Minutes later Stevens had an

overhead kick cleared of the line. Twenty minutes into the match and

the Saints took the lead through a Gibby Young back heel from

close range. After missing a few chances Simon Scipio fi nally scored; a through ball from

Stevens saw him race away from the defence, fi ring

into the corner of the net.

In the sec-ond half, a good passing

move by the Saints saw Alistair Buckley set up Scipio for his second goal of the game. The Saints could have gone further ahead when a shot from Stevens was stopped on the line by the hand of a defender. Martin “Jackson” Buckley stepped up for the resulting penalty but saw his kick hit both posts before falling into the hands of the keeper. The Lancaster got back into the game just fi ve min-utes later with another brilliant lob from 30 yards. This would be the last of their scoring as the Saints’ defence of Jackson, Jeff Ellick, Anthony George and Alan Ben-jamin were in good form. The Saints midfi eld of Stevens, Young, Buckley and Darren Duncan continued to create chances. Young-sters Cody Thomas and Scott Henry were rotated into the game after many of the veteran Saints failed to show. Thomas was next on the score sheet after he headed in a brilliant cross from Buckley, who went on to score himself after a good passing move with Scipio. The seventh and fi nal goal saw Scipio complete his hat trick. Chasing down a defensive clearance, he collected the ball wide on the right before beating a defender and fi ring across the keeper and into the far corner of the goal. This was a great opportunity for the Veterans (some having played for over 30 years) to get together and compete in a match and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

This Weekend’s Fixtures and Current League Table

Gibby Young scored with a back heel to put the Saints 2-1 up in the fi rst half

Football: Arsenal’s victory over Bayern Munich will raise belief at Emirates Stadium, says Gun-ners manager Ar-sene Wenger. Wenger’s side had lost their fi rst two

Champions League games but goals from Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil saw them beat the German champions 2-0. They remain bottom of Group F before a trip to Munich on 4 November but can go top of the Premier League on Saturday. “We had an absolute necessity to win and we did it in an intense, disciplined game,” said

Wenger. Rugby: South Africa have named an un-changed starting line-up for Saturday’s World Cup semi-fi nal against New Zealand. Lock Lood de Jager and hooker Bismarck du Plessis have both recovered from injuries sus-tained in the 23-19 quarter-fi nal win against Wales. In the only change to the squad, lock Victor Matfi eld is on the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury. Matfi eld, 38, will hope to win his 126th Test cap after being preferred to Pieter-Steph du Toit on the bench. The infl uential De Jager is fi t to start despite suffering a foot injury last weekend, while Du Plessis will play with the hand wound he suf-

fered in the quarter-fi nals strapped up. It is the fi rst time since 2007 that the Spring-boks have not changed their starting XV be-tween successive World Cup matches. Cricket: Former India opener Virender Se-hwag has announced his retirement from international cricket and the Indian Premier League on his 37th birthday. Sehwag, who won the World Cup with India in 2011, played 104 Tests, 251 one-day and 19 Twenty20 internationals. He scored 8,586 Test runs at an average of 49.34 and is the only Indian to score an in-ternational triple century. “Cricket has been my life,” Sehwag, who scored 8,273 ODI runs at 35.05, said in a statement. “I did it my way.”

Despite the best efforts of Crystal Rangers and Bellboys, Saturday’s 3.30pm fi xture ended in a goalless draw.Both sides have been in great form recently. Bellboys had won four consecutive matches and Crystal Rangers were coming off an im-pressive draw against Wirebirds and wins in their last two games. The stage was set for what should have been an intriguing mid-table clash.Although both teams endured a slow start to the season they now ap-pear to have found a winning formula in their starting eleven. Both sides are solid in defence and use the pace and exuberance of their younger team members in attacking positions.For Bellboys Tyler Brady has emerged as a great footballing talent. He shows great tenacity and puts in tireless perfor-mances each week. On the other hand, Rangers’ David Young has grown into his role at left back, and plays with maturity beyond his years.The match was even throughout and although no goals were scored, the game fl owed from end to end and both keep-ers saw enough action to keep them interested throughout the match.

Having keeper Agrippa Miskina in the starting line-up has been a godsend for Rangers. Their good run of form could easily be attributed to having the assurance of a good keeper between the sticks. His great refl exes and agility makes him a hard keeper to beat.Brady was a constant threat throughout drawing a few saves from Miskina and struck the woodwork on two occasions. At the other end Bank, Somad and Cody Thomas combined to good effect but often lacked a good-quality fi nal ball.When the teams swapped sides following the half-time interval, Bellboys looked the more threatening team. Damien Stevens was once again using his searing pace to great effect, but Kamahansa and Jeffery Ellick stood fi rm.Brady saw a shot rebound of the right upright and Bank fi red a volley just wide but that was as close as either side came to breaking the deadlock until the fi nal minutes. Having made the move from the defence to midfi eld for the latter stages of the match Martin Henry found himself in yards of space on the right side of Rangers penalty area. He lined up and fi red a shot but it sailed over the bar without troubling the keeper.Crystal Rangers now sit level with Axis on 17 points, and Bellboys on 23 just 7 points short of the top four.

Brady was a constant threat throughout drawing a few saves from Miskina and struck the woodwork on two occasions.

TEN YEARS UNDEFEATED, AND COUNTING Liam Yon, SAMS

Saint National Team Make Easy Work of Unbeaten British Navy

Chop Shop’s Kevin Hudson, Harts’ Chris Owen and Rovers’ Rico Benjamin were all on the score sheet as our Saint National Team beat the unde-feated British Navy eleven of the HMS Lancaster three goals to nil on Wednesday 14 October.Hudson’s goal was the only divider after a closely contested fi rst half that saw both teams pass the ball about and play some entertaining football. There was no doubt that the British Navy eleven were a well rounded team as they seemed to put up quite a fi ght, and for most of the fi rst half were even competitors with our team of elite local players. Twenty min-utes into the match and speaking on behalf of the large crowd that had gathered at Francis Plain, we knew we had a game on our hands.In the second half, our local team began to dominate proceedings and started to pass the ball about more fl uently, creating more chances for Hudson and Shane Stroud upfront. Owen was having an inspiring game on the right wing and was rewarded for his efforts when he put the Saints two nil up mid-way through the second. Not allowing Chop Shop and Harts players to take the headlines alone, cue Rovers’ R Benjamin to score the winning goal with fi fteen minutes left to play.This win keeps team St Helena undefeated after playing a variety of teams from different ships over the last ten years. Another plus for our local team was the discovery that the HMS Lancaster team had recently played a tournament in Columbia where they went undefeated and won a trophy. A good team, but not good enough; well done to our Saint Na-tional Team.

Despite being dubbed a ‘friendly’ game, the fi ght for pride was clear in the challenges made from both sides. Star left back Mike-E Williams developed a battle with the Navy’s right winger from the start of the match. The pair put in strong tackles and competed hard for each ball. On the opposite fl ank, Brian Sim also put in a few crunching tackles and shoulder-to-shoulders with the opposition, though he also received a few

knocks himself. Gary Benjamin and Wayne Crowie found themselves having to make strong tackles and were also being hassled by the Navy front men. In a similar vein, the Saint team’s attacking players were also taking a few knocks and had to battle hard for every ball. The Navy backline seemed a solid force, which meant wingers Chris

Owen and Rico Benjamin had to up the physicality along with Shane Stroud and Kevin Hudson at the point of the attack. Probably the biggest battling took place in the midfi eld

with Clayton Benjamin and Ryan George having to deal with being dragged back and pushed; though what they took they also

gave out. This said, each hard tackle and body check ended with the shake of a hand,

setting an example for our local football league.

THE LINE-UPThe Saint Local team featured stars predominately from our islands para-

mount teams Harts and Rovers. Andrew “Butters” Yon made the start in goal with a backline of left back; Mike-e Williams, centre-backs; Wayne Crowie and

Gary Benjamin, and right back; Brian Sim. 2014 player of the season, Rico Benjamin started on the left fl ank with Chris Owen taking the right. Clayton Benjamin and Ryan George pulled the strings in the midfi eld with a striking partnership of Shane Stroud and the only player to not play for either Harts or Rovers, Kevin Hudson. Just before the end of the fi rst half George made way

for Wirebirds’ Rick Joshua who slotted straight in the middle of the park. The second half saw the introductions of Chop Shop’s Alonzo Henry and Rovers’ young star, Ronan Legg.

THE KITFrom afar it might’ve seemed like Brazil was playing at Francis Plain, as our Saint team took to the fi eld decked out in their offi cial yellow and green national kit. The shirts are predominately yellow, with green stripes down the sides and long green sleeves. The brand name, STANND, is featured central below the neck and the St Helena fl ag is printed as a badge on the front. The numbers on the back are green as well as the shorts and socks. The offi cial kit made it that much more enjoyable to watch the game as opposed to the old strategy of ev-erybody wear the same colour shirt. Speaking to a few of the players, they seem to have enjoyed playing in the kit, though some found the shorts to be “too tight.” To see the kit in colour,
