Letter: To the Executive Chairman of the Turks & Caicos Islands Tourist Board |
|
|
Mr Chairman, we regret you had to be the bearer of more disappointing news, but it time that you guys begin to see our economic state and make intelligent judgments accordingly. Of course, the truth has not been told in its entirety regarding the decision to cancel the 2008 Film Festival.

Letter: In response to Tiresias Elliott |
|
|
Ms Elliott, I have read the letters you have posted on this site in recent weeks and have to agree with almost everything you have said. Your letter of July 2 responding to Jody Rathgeb, while harsh also carried many unfortunate truths. I could not leave it go by, however, without comment.

 There has been a great deal of debate lately about whether or not the British Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) will recommend a commission of enquiry to investigate allegations of government corruption in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). Thankfully, the FAC will finally settle this question on Monday with the release of its evidence report.

Letter: What Turks and Caicos Islanders really think |
|
|
Judy Rathbeg is severely misguided about the typical Belonger in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Otherwise her letter is laudable. TCI people hate those Islands that Ms Jathbeg loves. For us the dusty scrub and bush bring only memories of poverty and disease. There's nothing lovely about the beach for us, which only represents generations of a conch diet.

Letter: Turks and Caicos development questions |
|
|
Recent news stories about Fort George Cay, Joe Grant Cay and Dellis Cay are definitely appalling to anyone who cares at all about the environment, but I notice that, with the exception of Star Island, any outcry has been limited. Why is that so? Is it because most TCIslanders actually agree with Premier Misick et al, and they truly believe that destroying natural beauty and eliminating indigenous plants and animals is a way to attract visitors?

Letter: An eclipse of the Sun |
|
|
In the recent issue of the TCI Sun a paper, which is owned in part, according to public records, by Minister Lillian Boyce a rather protracted article by editor Hayden Boyce attacks Caribbean Net News, its publisher and editors as well as the TCI Journal, Anthony Hall, Shaun Malcolm, and in particular this commentator. The language of this attack, which emanates from the gutters of Provo, is a clear indication of who this man is.

Letter: When I read articles like this I am saddened |
|
|
Before responding directly to the commentary (“Hurrah for Turks and Caicos Minister Williams”), first let me thank Mr David Tapfer for being the very brave soul that he is in bringing these issues to the forefront, even though sometimes I do wonder and question the tone of the writing.
