The race is the worlds largest educational fundraiser for breast cancer, a disease which recent research has indicated affects Bahamian women more than any other nationality. Sharlyn Smith, Marathon Bahamas board member, called breast cancer a national issue and told The Tribune event organisers kept that fact in mind as they were planning the race. Breast cancer is a national issue in the Bahamas and that is one of the things we made a point of as we were planning this, she said. The aim of the race was just to raise awareness of breast cancer and also celebrate survivors of breast cancer and remember those we lost to breast cancer, Mrs Smith said. Overall I think we achieved the aim. We raised the awareness and reminded people that this is a real problem for our country.

The government is looking at humane options, and isc onsidering the various options to access the funds in the mortgage insurance fund, which are legal. Right now, t he only way is if we foreclose a nd obtain vacant possession. Nearly $100m worth of bonds are due between the 2020 and 2030 period, and the corporation faces $35m in bond associ-a ted costs for the year ending J une 2012, Dr Sands said. This does not include any government housing projects, so what we have to do is to be very judicious about spending and expenses and a lso ensure that the repaym ents are optimised. If youre spending 35 million just in bond sureties, said Dr Sands, sinking contributions, and bond interest,t hen clearly that doesnt leave a nything for housing projects, f or operating expenses, capital development. He added: It becomes critically important that we exercise all options available toe nsure that the BMC continu es to be a viable solvent entity, to do what we are mandated to do. Ideally, the corporation should be generating enough revenue on repayments to run i ts operations as well as the serv ice of bond associated expense s. However, Dr Sands said that d espite ongoing fiscal reform the BMC will not be able to meet expenses by 2021 given the current rate of collections. We understand the issues, h e said, we understand the c omplexity of the problems, t he magnitude, and we intend t o see to it that they are fixed. Its going to require that we make some tough decisions that will engender discussion, debate, and some people areg oing to support it and some a re not going to like it.

By AVA TURNQUEST Tribune Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com THE country must focus on g enerating new tourism produ cts in a bid to remain comp etitive as more gaming facili ties become available around the world. W hile the sport has never b een a primary thrust for the sector, Minister of Tourism V incent Vanderpool-Wallace explained that the country could no longer take comfort in being the only game in town for a vacation. M r Vanderpool-Wallaces comments come as Florida l awmakers continue their e xamination of the Destination Resorts Bill, which would b ring three Las Vegas-style casino mega resorts to SouthF lorida and in direct comp etition with Bahamian hotels. Obviously, we have little to no control over that, he s aid. We recognize that the sign ificant advantage that we h ad in our part of the world h as been eroded through the years, as more and more gaming is available in the US and elsewhere. M r Vanderpool-Wallace added: We need to make certain that we have as many n ew products available to keep competitive. The Florida Bills were p assed by a senate commit tee last week despite considerable opposition from tourism giant Disney, as wella s the Florida Chamber of Commerce. Facilities in Miami-Dade a nd Broward are allowed slotmachine "racinos," but can't have Blackjack and craps tables. If approved, the Bills w ould allow smaller opera tions to open full-scale casinos as well. L ast week, Robert Sands, senior vice president at Baha Mar, said the company was monitoring the Bills progress, w hich still has a long way to go. Kerzner International B ahamas' managing director George Markantonis expressed concern about the proposal last year. He said the establishment of high-end resorts in the immediate area and on US soil would be a problem not just for Atlantis and Baha Mar, but the entire tourism industry of the Bahamas. M r Vanderpool-Wallace s aid: Gaming is unique for u s, because it has never been t he primary motive for people coming to The Bahamas. T hey come for our outstandi ng amenities and will continue to do so. H e added: More competition is inevitable, what we forget is that The Bahamas for a while was the only game in town for vacation. Tourism is the most competitive business in the world a nd there is good evidence to s upport that as it continues to expand.

EDITOR, The Tribune. AS AN objective observer of Bahamian politics, I have never seen a politician who has been as fiercely challenged and opposed as Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham. He is perhaps the most polarising and controversial politician in modern Bahamian history. Prime Minister Ingraham and the Free National Movement (FNM have now become the subject of endless ridicule and criticism by Official Opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP and several noted radio talk show hosts from New Providence. The prime minister and his government colleagues are called The Dictator, big head, Da Village Idiot:, Monavie, Da Pudgy Pillsbury Dough Boy and Uncircumcised Philistine by their unmerciful political critics. The venom is simply astounding. This appears to happen every week in their Internet dailies. The Ingraham administration is even ridiculed on certain radio talk shows. Prime Minister Ingraham, according to these people, can never do anything right. And even if they were to admit that he has accomplished anything worthwhile for this country, they would be overly cynical about it. As a regular listener to several radio talk shows, I usually hear the same set of chronic callers voicing their opposition to everything Prime Minister Ingraham has ever done or is proposing to do for this country. According to these chronic callers, the Member of Parlia ment for North Abaco is bad for The Bahamas. I had even heard one or two of these chronic callers calling for Prime Minister Ingraham and several Cabinet Ministers to be tried before a commission of inquiry and imprisoned at Her Majestys Fox Hill Prison after the PLP wins the 2012 General Elections. Amazingly, I have also heard one chronic caller telling a popular radio talk show host that the prime min ister hates Bahamians. The FNMs political opponents have crossed the bounds of common human decency. The all too common, wornout charge by these people is that the prime minister is a biggety tyrant and a totalitarian leader. What strikes me as odd, though, is that these people are calling in to radio stations which are privately owned and operated by Bahamians; something that was unheard of during the 25 years that the legendary Sir Lynden Pindling was the Prime Minister of this country. These chronic callers, some of whom were grown-ups during the 1970s and 1980s, didnt utter one peep about the then PLP regimes firm grip on the state media, the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas (BCB everybody is very concerned about democracy in this country with PM Ingraham at the helm. These people had no problem when ZNS was staffed mostly by rabid supporters of the PLP, who were really only interested in disseminating the message of the then government of The Bahamas. The Opposition could hardly ever g et a critical word in edgewise on the broadcasting corporation. The former government kept a very close eye on ZNS. Now, thanks to the prudent policies of PM Ingraham, these chronic callers, without fear of repercussion from the govern ment, can call in to the radio t alk shows and rant about the prime minister being an unbearable dictator. Ingraham liberalized the airwaves, and he is called a dictator; the former PLP administration controlled ZNS with an iron fist, and it is called the greatest administration in modern Bahamian hist ory by these people. Does this make any sense at all to you, Editor? Several months ago, the Leader of the Official Opposi tion the Hon Perry G Christie, gave a live address on crime to the nation on the broadcasting corporation. As a youngB ahamian who has been watching ZNS TV since the early to mid-1980s, I cannot recall ever seeing either Sir Cecil WallaceWhitfield or Sir Kendal Isaacs giving an address to the nation on ZNS TV. I had seen FNM conventions on ZNS, but never have I seen an OppositionM ember of Parliament or Leader addressing the nation on ZNS TV as Christie did. I stand to be corrected, though. Sir Lynden would have never allowed his political opponents to use the national airwaves or any radio talk show in order to undermine his government.F urther, no radio talk show host would have dared to openly ridicule or defy Sir Lynden or any of his policies. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. I say this because certain radio talk show hosts have made a cottage industry out of attacking the Ingraham administra t ion. No true dictator would have allowed an opposing political figure to go on the state-run airwaves in order to criticize his policies. Prime Minister Ingraham did just that. Yet he is labelled a biggety dictator by his unreasonable critics. If Prime Minister Ingraham trims the bloated staff levels in the civil service in order to make the central government more financially sustainable, he would be called uncompassionate and anti-Bahamian. If the nation goes bankrupt because of the massive payroll that the state has to meet each year, he will be blasted for mismanaging the economy. Either way, the prime minister is a complete failure, as far as his unreasonable critics are concerned. Ingrahams critics are now gearing up to launch their greatest political assault against him leading up to the 2012 General Elections. I have already heard mutterings by these people that the MP for North Abaco had manoeuvred his way into the leadership position of the FNM in 1991 at the time of Sir Cecil Wallace-Whitfields death. They are now saying that Sir Cecil nor any of the other leaders of the FNM, for that matter, wanted Ingraham to succeed him (Sir Cecil the Leader of the Official Opposition. I find it absolutely incredible that the hierarchy of the FNM would stand idly by as an independent MP and former PLP Cabinet Minister and Chairman would waltz into their party and become their leader without so much as protesting. If this story is true, then why didnt Sir Kendal Isaacs complain about this takeover by Ingraham at the time it occurred? These people want us to believe that somehow Ingraham had managed to hoodwink the leadership of the FNM into giving him the top position of their party. I dont know why these people dont stop trying to insult the intelligence of the Bahamian people. Rather than trying to address the pertinent issues which are affecting The Bahamas, these people want to wallow in muck and mire instead. Clearly, these people are intending to revise Bahamian history. They are counting on the fact that most Bahamians dont read. Sadly, many Bahamians are histori cally illiterate. In closing, it is important that FNMs and PLPs be civil in their debates. While we may have differing political philosophies, that doesnt give anyone the right to slander another per sons name or to spread lies and innuendoes. If you have to lie in order to win an election, then the one fundamental question that must be asked is this: Is it worth it? Of course, the answer is no. I am not willing to sacrifice my conscience on the altar of political expediency. It isnt worth it. KEVIN EVANS Freeport, Grand Bahama, January 2, 2012. (No, Mr Evans, none of this makes a blind bit of sense. We now agree with Prime Minister Ingrahams response to his oppositions invitation to have a televised public debate with them: I dont talk foolish ness, said Mr Ingraham. I debate every day. (With this present mind-set among the opposition, we believe that such debates would be a colossal waste of time. Let each political party put their platforms out there for public debate and let the voter decide which party in their opinion is capable of delivering on that platform. They have already had five years of Perry Christie and another five years of Prime Minister Ingraham. These two administrations should be easy of comparison. Ed).

Publisher/Editor 1972Published Daily Monday to Saturday Shirley Street, P.O. Box N-3207, Nassau, Bahamas I nsurance Management Building., P.O. F-485, Freeport, Grand Bahama L OOKING over The Tribunes Labour files a few days ago we came across an interesting statement by hotel managerial union leader Obie Ferguson, who accused F reeports Our Lucaya Beach resort of union busting by planning to lay off 50 managerial staff. Now the economy is showing signs of r ecovery, he told T he Tribune I thought that now would be the time to do what should be done. Workers rights are asi mportant as profits. We will take the nece ssary poll and then do what we have to do. Mr Ferguson made this statement in J anuary last year at a time when in the estimation of every business person on the island especially in Freeport thee conomy was looking even bleaker. And s o we do not know how Mr Ferguson measures economic recovery. Maybe he had a glimpse of the hotels financial statements and from that concluded that the hotel could support what he claimed had to be done and still keep its doors open. A t the time, Mr Ferguson was pressing Minister Dion Foulkes for permission for his union, which he said represented more than 100 of the resorts staff, to take a strike vote that would pave the way for disruptive action at the property. M eanwhile, Nicole Martin, whose union r epresented the same hotels line staff, was worried about increases she said were owed to the line staff under their industriala greement. Earlier, the resort had announced that its Christmas season was not as good as hoped. It had told the union that since 2009 it was not in a financialp osition to meet those demands. Earlier, it was acknowledged that the resorts owners, Hutchinson-Whampoa, h ad been subsidising the hotels payroll. Prime Minister Ingraham had even praised the company for its supportive attitudet owards the hotel and its staff during diff icult financial times. But Mr Ferguson must have had a vision. He saw things differently and thought itw as time for some union muscle flexing. When we read his statement, we could not help but think of the six blind men ofI ndostan who went to see an elephant. Although blind, and having to rely on touch alone, each had to satisfy his mind as to what an elephant looked like. T he first fell against the broad sturdy side of the elephant and decided it is very like a wall. The second felt the tusk and d ecided it was like a spear. And so on down the line the squirming trunk felt like a snake; the knee felt like a tree; the earf elt like a fan and the sixth was convinced that the swinging tail was very like a rope. And so the dispute began, each convinced as to what an elephant looked like and though each was partly in the right all were in the wrong! A s none of them had seen the whole elephant, despite their arguing none of them knew what an elephant really looked like. And so with these unionists, who a lthough they never see the whole picture a nd do not know what obligations have to be met before salary increases can be considered, are always convinced that own-e rs can and should meet their demands. At present, Kerzner International is fighting to meet its financial obligations. Ith as a good management team that will do e verything in its power to maintain staff levels and also meet its debts. Those debt obligations are extremely high. If they are n ot met, unless some agreement can be arrived at, the Kerzner team could lose its four-year management contract. Ands o, staff will have to be thankful for their j obs, and turn deaf ears to any demands that their union might tempt them to take during this difficult period. Even if they see every rooms filled to capacity every day of the year, unions nor staff can assume like the six blind men ofI ndostan that the hotel is making a handsome profit, and that there is any room for staff to make more. We do not understand some of these union leaders. They complain that Freeport has no business and yet when o rganisations are trying to attract busin ess, the union decides to demonstrate. For example, what possessed Freeport hotel workers to demonstrate at GrandL ucaya resort on the very day Vision Airlines and the Ministry of Tourism were hosting 80 travel agents and other tourism promoters from the United States? Thev isitors were invited there for a two-day familiarization trip in the hopes that they would recommend more visitors to fill the h otel. Imagine the very people who would benefit from a hotel full of guests, would decide instead to drive potential businessa way by demonstrations. Who can have s ympathy for such short-sighted people? And to add insult to injury their union leader had the nerve to pull anotherd emonstration to complain that the 37 workers who scuttled an attempt to get more business for the hotel were fired. J ust where are these people coming from? From an outsider looking in, it seems that some unionists have a different agenda. Are they deliberately leading their m embers astray? Who is going to sympathise with any worker who is going to undermine the efforts o f people who are trying to bring more business to a resort to secure their jobs? If workers are serious about their e mployment, they will think twice before being led astray by union leaders some of whom seem to have politics on their minds rather than the interest of the men and women whose best interests they claim to represent.

B y LAMECH JOHNSON firstname.lastname@example.com A MAN was arraigned in Magistrates Court Friday afternoon in connection with the countrys second homicide for the year. L evardo Butler, 27, appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Carolita B ethell in Court 8 in connec tion with the Balls Alley shooting death of a 32-year-o ld father a week ago. It is alleged that he shot and killed Mario Stuart on Satur day, January 7. T he deceased, a cousin of FNM Bamboo Town candi-date Cassius Stuart, was shot i n the stomach shortly after 2am in front of his home in Balls Alley. He was taken to hospital in a private vehicle w here he later died of his injuries. The accused was not r equired to enter a plea to the charge due to the seriousness of the offence. He was toldt hat a Voluntary Bill of I ndictment would be served against him on Monday, M arch 12. The Bill would fast t rack the case to the Supreme C ourt for trial, bypassing a lengthy preliminary inquiry. Tai Pinder, defence attorney for the accused, claimed that her client had been s everely beaten while in police custody at the Central Detective Unit. She said he h ad to be admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital for treatment. S he said that her clients medical record and ID bracelet, though named under a different surname, could p rove so. When asked if he spoke up to correct this, he said: No, m an. Ms Pinder explained that her clients unconscious state at the time was the reason for t he mistake going unnoticed. S he further claimed that her c lient, to whom she was twice denied access, had been forced to sign a statement some three-four hours after he had been discharged f rom hospital. Deputy Chief Magistrate Bethell said that she would m ake a note of the alleged police brutality and recom mended that Butler be exam i ned by a physician at Her Majestys Prison. She then told him that he would be remanded, as thec ourt did not have the power to grant bail in these matters. He returns on Monday, M arch 12 before Chief Mag istrate Roger Gomez in Court One.

M r Ingraham also extended thanks to Senator Michael Pintard. I want to extend thanks to Michael Pintard who is going to take on a special mission for our party, he said. The FNM leader also thanked Grand Bahama for supporting the FNM. Grand Bahama, you have been good to the FNM and y ou have also been good to me, he said. No one can d eny the essential role Grand Bahama played in rescuing o ur country from the bad governance of the PLP. Mr Ingraham said the PLP government was riddled with scandal. He said it was led by indecisive leadership that put the interest of the Bahamian people last. Although the last several years have been a difficult and painful time for the Bahamas, especially for the economy of Grand Bahama, Mr Ingraham said Bahamians can trust the FNM government. He noted that 2008 was the worst recession since the Great Depression. This leader, this party you can trust to get the job done. I come to Grand Bahama to ask you for your support of the FNM, he said. The party leader asked Grand Bahama to support the partys new team of talented individuals. Mr Ingraham acknowledged persons who have served the party faithfully for many years, including Mau rice Moore, CA Smith, and Kenneth Russell, MP for High Rock. He thanked Mr Russell for his dedication and loyalty to the FNM. In 1997, Maurice Moore made way for Kenneth Rus sell, and now in 2012 Kenneth Russell is making way for Peter Turnquest.

B y CHESTER ROBARDS Tribune Senior Reporter email@example.com POLICE will immediately be put back into public schools to combat violence onc ampuses, should the Prog ressive Liberal Party be returned power after the general election, the party announced in a press statement released yesterday. School policing, they said, s hould be a permanent part o f the public school system b ecause of the high instances of violence on some campuses in New Providence. The release highlighted the murder of a student on the campus of CC Sweeting. The Free National Movem ent Government knows it w as wrong to take police out of government schools, the release said. Still, because they put politics before people, it took an unacceptably long time to t ake steps to undo that wrong e ven after a student was killed o n the grounds of C C Sweetings campus. Frank Smith, PLP candidate for Montagu, said in the release that his party will fully reinstate the School Policing Programme. A major plank of this s trategy includes safety, security, and rehabilitative services for our students through Urban Renewal 2.0 and an even more detailed approach to school policing, he said. Our compendium of crime f ighting policies which has as its f oundation, preventative methods, contain a holistic approach to redirecting the energies of our youth and steering them away from the violence which plagues their homes, communities and even schools so thatt hey do not come into contact w ith the law. The PLP admitted, however, that even school policing has not been enough to arrest the rising incidence of violence on school campuses i n the country. J erome Fitzgerald, PLP c andidate for Marathon, also highlighted the need for safer educational institutions for secondary school students. We know that education is a key factor in assisting many young people in thisc ountry from getting out of a l ife where they are challenged, he said. We need to make sure theyre in a protected environment and that they feel safe so theyre able to learn as best as possible. T he PLP said it intends to c ombine three programmes V iolence Breakers, Fifty Bahamians, and Urban Renewal 2.0 in order to combat crime and restore safety and civility to Bahamian communities. We again pledge to launch c areer path academies, all t hroughout this country, to provide our people with the opportunities to secure 21st century skills, training and retooling to compete and thrive in the boom of a r estored Bahamian economy, t he partys release said.

By CELESTE NIXON Tribune Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com PRIME Minister Hubert Ingraham was in Bimini yes-t erday to officially rename the B imini All-Age School the Louise McDonald High School. Recognising the late Mrs McDonald as a dedicated e ducator of nearly 50 years, M r Ingraham said she t ouched the hearts and lives of her students, teaching the importance of character and citizenship. He said: In her many r oles, Mrs McDonald played a p ivotal role shared by so many of our dedicated educators through the years that of nation builder. The Louise McDonald H igh School was the second school to be honoured in the month-long renaming sched-u le for several public s chools. The first renaming ceremony was held last week, when t he prime minister flew to Andros to officially rename the Red Bay Primary School t he Bertram A Newton Primary School, honouring Rev Bertram Newton. Greatness often emerges from small communities, Mr Ingraham said. He said it is often ones ambition, charac t er and conviction that determine success in life. In the Bahamas, it is the l argeness of ones spirit, not the size of the island, cay, or settlement where you are b orn or live that determines t he contributions one can make to the broader Com monwealth of the Bahamas, s aid Mr Ingraham, Louise McDonald is such an example. Mr Ingraham said the B ahamas is in need of more teachers like Mrs McDonald, w ho are both competent and p assionate. H e said: I am told that Mrs McDonald was truly a woman for all seasons. Wherever she saw a need, she responded. She imparted knowledge even while tak-i ng special care to develop t he whole person in her charge. By her example, Louise McDonald taught us many life lessons in character and citizenship, said Mr Ingraham. We owe her and generat ions of dedicated educators o ur gratitude. Three more schools are s lated for rededication in the coming weeks: Cabbage Hill Primary School on Crooked Island which will become the Ulric H Ferguson Primary School, the new AnatolR odgers High School, and the n ew T G Glover Primary School.

By SIR RONALD SANDERS W HAT effect will Jamaica b ecoming a Republic and leaving the 53-nation Commonwealth have on the rest of the Caribbean countries? Will they follow Jamaica tob ecome Republics and leave t he Commonwealth? Those were the questions put to me by the Editor of an Internet news website just as I had begun to write a Commentary after a two-day semi nar at Cambridge University i n the UK that grappled with the issue of the Commonwealth and its relevance to its 1.2 billion people after the Commonwealth Heads ofG overnment Meeting (CHOGM October. I will return to the outcome of the seminar in my next commentary. Suffice to say for now that The Round T able arguably the oldest journal on Commonwealth m atters, is in its 101st year of publication in Britain and the C ommonwealth. Over the decades, the m aterial published in the journal has been both a record of Commonwealth events and as erious contributor to the shape and direction of the now 53-nation organisation. After each Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference (CHOGM The R ound Table h as convened a m eeting of representatives of Commonwealth non-govern mental organisations, minist ers, academics and the Commonwealth Secretary-General to assess the outcomes of t he Conference. It did so at C ambridge University in the UK on 9 and 10 January with Commonwealth SecretaryG eneral, Kamalesh Sharma and Lord Howells, the British Minister for Commonwealth a ffairs actively participating. I attended as a member of the International Advisory B oard of T he Round Table a nd a member of the Eminent Persons Group that submit ted a report to last Octobers C HOGM in Australia on urgent reform of the Commonwealth. The question that dominat ed the two-day meeting in Cambridge is whether, as a result of the Australia C HOGM, the Common wealth is better or worse placed to serve the needs oft he people and to make a m eaningful contribution to the international community. I had meant to write about t he outcome of the seminar b ut this matter of Jamaica commands immediate attention. So, this week, I give it priority. The posing of the Editors q uestion shows how misunderstood the Commonwealth is even by journalists whose breadth of knowledge about world events is considerable. It also underscores the necessity for the Commonwealtht o improve significantly its own information and educat ion machinery. The Editors question arose b ecause newly-elected Jamaica Prime Minister, Port ia Simpson-Miller, in a televised debate on the eve of last months general election, saidq uite clearly that she wanted a Jamaican Queen. The remark from the leader of the Peoples National Party (PNP ment. The former leader of t he PNP and former Prime M inister, P J Patterson, had also declared his partys wish to end Jamaicas monarchicals tatus, in which it shares Queen Elizabeth, with 14 other countries as its sovereign. W hat was intriguing about t he Editors question was the underlying assumption that if the Jamaican people choose t o end Jamaicas monarchical relationship and become a Republic, Jamaica would have t o leave the Commonwealth o f which the Queen is Head. This was the same assumpt ion that Ireland made in 1949 w hen it chose to become a Republic. Having made that choice, Ireland departed fromt he Commonwealth. India was set to follow Ireland in becoming a Republic and leaving the Common wealth, because the government of Independent India (1948 t he British Monarch to con tinue to reign over it. However, mature and sensibleh eads worked out a solution w hich was that India would become a Republic and remain in the Commonwealth, recognising the British monarch as Head of the Commonwealth and a symbol of the voluntary association of independent countries. While the Queen is the s trongest champion of the C ommonwealth family of nations, she has no executive authority over the organisa-t ion. Other countries that became independent ofB ritain and chose to become R epublics have continued as members of the Commonwealth on the same basis as I ndia. Among those countries are three Caribbean ones: D ominica, Guyana and T rinidad and Tobago. Indeed, more recently, other Republics that were never c olonies of Britain have become members of the Commonwealth. These are:C ameroon, Mozambique, and R wanda. Republican status is not incompatible with Commonwealth membership, and I am confident that Jamaica would not leave the Commonwealthi f it becomes a Republic. Jamaica derives no disad vantage from its membership of the Commonwealth. I ndeed, its membership brings it great benefits, among which are: technical assistance in a r ange of skill-areas in which it lacks sufficient expertise; advocacy for dealing withi ssues that affect it such as d ebt and trade; and help in training people to deal with HIV/AIDS and mitigatinga gainst the harmful effects of climate change. Additionally, Jamaican pro f essionals, including judges, lawyers, engineers, nurses and teachers belong to Commonwealth organisations that pro v ide them with a vast network of contacts across over 50 nations that help to improve t heir knowledge and access to resources. The associated question put t o me is also interesting: should Jamaica decide to become a Republic, will it influence gov e rnments of the remaining independent Caribbean coun tries that are still monarchies to do the same? The answer is not necessarily yes. Two years ago, the government of Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves in St Vincent and the Grenadines received a resounding no from the people when the issue was included in a referendum question. About four years ago, the government of Barbados, under then Prime Minister Owen Arthur, had also declared itself for a Republic with no unanimous support for the idea. Further, the fact that three Commonwealth Caribbean countries have been Republics for many years has not encouraged other Caribbean states to follow. Circumstances in each Caribbean country are different. Their governments will each have to weigh carefully the sentiment of the people before they risk a referendum on republican status. In Jamaica, the matter could be decided easily if the two political parties agree that the time has come to cut the monarchical knot. Such a deci sion will not affect Jamaicas membership of the Commonwealth, nor will it cause other non-Republican governments in the Commonwealth Caribbean to follow.

By Constable 3011 MAKELLE PINDER CONFLICT is a normal and necessary part of h ealthy relationships. After a ll, people arent expected to agree on everything at all t imes. Therefore, learning how to deal with conflict r ather than avoiding it is crucial. When conflict is mismana ged, it can harm any relationship. But when handled in a respectful and positive w ay, conflict provides an opportunity for growth, ultimately strengthening the bond between individ-u als. C onflict at home or in the work place can be a major s tressor that distracts you f rom your daily life and rout ines. L earning how to manage c onflict can help you diffuse p roblem situations before they escalate, and can save y ou the frustration and hass le of sorting out an overwhelming fight. Here are a few tips on Managing Conflict: AT HOME Acknowledge that conflict is natural and happens a ll the time. Share negative emotions only in person or on the phone. Pepper your responses w ith the phrase, "I under stand". Take notice when you feel threatened by what s omeone is saying to you, Try repeating the exact w ords that someone is saying to you when they are in a lot of emotional pain or when you disagree with themc ompletely. Take responsibility for your feelings to avoid blami ng others. Learn to listen to the two s ides of the conflict that you are in as if you were the mediator or the counselor. Take a playful attitude t owards developing the skill of emotional self-control in high conflict situations. Practice counting from 1-10 Wait a few days to cool d own emotionally when a situation makes you feel wildwith intense feelings, such as rage. Make a decision to speak with decorum whenever you are angry or frustrated. A T WORK Stress the positive aspects of conflict; just because tension arises, the w orld is not going to collapse. In fact, if handled well, conflict often leads to innovation. Realise that conflict can be handled in a positive way that leads to personal and p rofessional growth, development and productivity. Encourage others to bring up conflict and differences. Allowing them to fester inevitably encourages t hem to erupt later, usually at a most inopportune time. Identify the root cause(s of the conflict. You can't begin to unravel the potent ial negativity in conflict and look toward progress until y ou determine the source of the issue. Look at the issue from a ll sides. Inspect the posit ive and negative factors t hat each party sees, to fully c omprehend what is at stake. Devise a complete list of a ctions to address the issue; e nsure that each party believes that he/she has had i nput in the final product or d ecision. Decide on the step that best addresses and resolves the issue. Again, all parties n eed to see that they have h ad input into this step. Agree on whatever next steps are necessary to imple-m ent the mutually agreedu pon action. Review the process that you used to arrive at the final decision, hoping to implement a similar successfulp lan when negative conflict n ext arises. Be professional at all times, and avoid idle conver s ations that are not workr elated.

of a debate when The Tribune spoke to him last week, it is widely thought that he isn ot interested in participating i n a televised public debate. When asked if he would participate in a debate, he said: I dont talk foolishness. I debate every day. Mr Christie said he and his candidates are ready to debate the governing partys leader and candidates, as well as Mr McCartney and his team. Every candidate in the Progressive Liberal Party, including myself will be willing to debate he said. Mr McCartney, who has called for a debate, said he is only waiting for his opponentsto agree to the debate. He a dded that all of his candidates are also prepared to debate. However, he suggested the leaders of each political party should lead off the debates, if they were to happen. For years, many have called f or fewer rallies and more national debates similar to those showcased in the United States and neighbouring, Jamaica, which has a similar political makeup to the Bahamas. The first debate to ever take place in this country came on the eve of the February 16, 2010 by-elections in the Elizabeth Estates constituency. The debate saw participation from four of five candi-d ates contesting Malcolm Adderleys vacated seat in early January of that year. PLPs Ryan Pinder, who participated in that debate, went on to win the by-elections witha narrow victory over FNM S enator Dr Duane Sands, who was noticeably absent. DNAs Rodney Moncur, FNMs Cassius Stuart and PLPs Andre Rollins all aligned with smaller parties at that time were the otherp articipants in the debate. A debate featuring former Prime Minister Christie pitted against the current Prime Minister and Prime Ministerhopeful Branville McCartney would be a significant milestone in politics, as it would be the first of its kind. Mr Christie touted his long political career and accomplishments as proof that he can stand up to his opponentsi n a debate. He suggested that in a debate his opponents claims that he is a procrastinator would be debunked. Christie procrastinates? he asked. But this is the same Christie where thev ision for the stadium came from, because I wanted, as a former national athlete, I wanted to give something back to Bahamians. This is the same Christie that negotiated the Interna-t ional Airport, that brought Vancouver services in to manage that airport, negotiated with that. Mark Humes, DNA Chairman, said a debate is necessary because Bahamians need to make informed decisions on who they should vote for to lead the country. Mr Humes said Mr McCartney is so determined to have a debate that he has even sug-g ested he would sponsor it himself if he has to. He has always said he is w illing to have a national debate so that the Bahamian public can make a determination on who to elect as a leader, he said. He would be willing to d ebate, but before any of his c andidates debate, there should be a debate between the leaders. Mr Christie said he and his team, with their experiencea nd qualified youth, are ready f or the elections. The time is now, the elections are approaching, he said. The Progressive Liberal Party is fully prepared for t hose elections. We learned f rom the Elizabeth by-elections, the entire government came at us, in the Elizabeth by-elections. We won the by-elections now theyre going to have to deal with us in every one oft he 38 constituencies throughout the Bahamas.

Grand Bahama has tried the PLP and fired them in 2002, and they put the FNM in, and obviously they did not deliver. The DNA will deliver, Mr McCartney said. Although the party is run n ing on a platform of Real For One Bahamas, Mr McCartney stressed that its campaign for Grand B ahama is to deal with unemployment and getting p eople back to work. We have seen loss of jobs, unemployment, and living inG rand Bahama, even if you have a job, the cost of living isa stronomical; it should not be t hat way. We need to change that.

For some reason Bahamian women get breast cancer a l ot earlier than our American counterparts a recent study said that a part of it is genet-i c, she said. Basically half of the women who are diagnosed with breast cancer in the Bahamas are under 50, while in the US its 60. And when we are diagnosed, its at the later stage.W e need to continue to test and encourage testing. We need to start screening and being more conscious of breast cancer and the risk.

Because of pressing circumstances, they need an answer right away, by 6pm. What do you say? You dont say, We just cant give you an answer that soon. These buyers are motivated and prepared to buy your home, with a written offer and a deposit. So how do you make up your mind so quickly? You must simply decide what your rock-bottom price is before your home is even shown. Be prepared to negotiate on-thespot by first asking your agent for a Net sheet based on your asking price. The sheet will show what expenses must be paid out of the gross sales price, i.e. closing costs, brokerage fee, the payoff on your existing mortgage, etc resulting in the net proceeds that you will receive at closing. Next, ask the agent to figure other net sheets based on receiving 95 per cent or even 90 per cent of the asking price. This helps you determine the absolute lowest offer you can accept. Once you know that figure, keep it to yourself and be prepared for all possibilities! Special note: The above assumes that your property is properly priced and not at some pie in the sky fig ure you feel you must achieve. Remember, if you overprice your property, it will languish on the mar ket and you will discourage any offers. Price it right from the start. Often the first offer is the best offer.

LOCAL NEWS PAGE 16, MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 2012 THE TRIBUNE B y DANA SMITH email@example.com MARATHON Bahamas 2012 attracted more than a t housand runners, including an increased participation from international marathonr unners. Franklyn Wilson, chairman of Sunshine Insurance whichi s the lead corporate sponsor o f the marathon, stated although he doesnt have exact numbers, the m arathon featured around 1400 runners from 20 different countries a participationi ncrease of about 25 per cent from last year. was so encouraged when I heard people who have run m arathons all over the world comment so vividly about the marathon," he said. From t he time we started (the marathon), we knew standards must reflect worldwide standards so its not a gim m ick. Were talking to peo ple who run marathons all over the world, so these people know what a marathon is. The increase in participants, M r Wilson said, is owed to the marathons sophisticat ed marketing team who trav elled internationally to pro m ote the race. We just promoted more, promoted the marathon and i n turn, promoted the Bahamas. This is a point that I think is worthy of note, Mr W ilson said. The race, he explained, helps in promoting the Bahamas to tourists. The marathons official website offered a more in-depth explanation: The race courses were designed to showcase many of the focal points oft his amazing destination, including quaint and scenic downtown Nassau with its his-t oric buildings, the glitz and glamour of Paradise Island, the business districts, excitingC able Beach and the life of t he residents hugging the northern shore of the Island. Next year, Mr Wilson h opes the marathon will con tinue to benefit from prior years success as more peo-p le spread the word and sign up. Were going further and i ts just a wonderful feeling, h e said. But the one thing that gives me the greatest pride, is the race this week e nd demonstrated a degree of national unity which doesnt happen often enough. We do things best when w e do things together and its wonderful feeling to be a part of something where this degree of national unity and cooperation is shown and that is something that is ofi mmense value. Marathon Bahamas offered four events including a 26.2 mile marathon, a walkerf riendly half marathon, a four member team relay, and the 5k S G Komen Race for t he Cure. The marathon, half marathon and four personr elay all started simultaneously at 6am, yesterday. The Komen race started at 7am, Saturday morning.

Charles M. Foster Sr., 77, of Edinburgh, died at 9:52 a.m. Wednesday, March 9, 2016, at Columbus Regional Hospital Emergency Room.
Mr. Foster graduated from Columbus High School in 1958. He served as a sergeant in the Indiana Army National Guard for six years and retired in 1995 from Cummins Engine Company where he had worked for 37 years.
Charles was a very active person who loved the outdoors. In his early years, he boxed, played hockey, fished often, played baseball and softball. In his 70s he slowed down to just riding his bike 40 miles a day and going to Shorty's. He loved spending time with his family and friends. He adored all of his grandchildren. As the eldest of all his siblings he was a source of strength for his family.
Charles was born November 27, 1938, in Monterey, Tennessee, the son of Roy and Ella Tays Foster. He married Bonnie Streeval July 2, 1971.
Charles is survived by his wife, Bonnie Foster; a son, Charles M. (Denise Harper-Kirby) Foster Jr. of Indianapolis; his daughters, Noreen Foster of Illinois, Dana Foster and Kelly (Steve) Turner of Edinburgh; a stepson, Kevin Howard of Illinois; 14 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; brothers, Tamage (Pat) Foster and Rick (Norma) Foster of Columbus and John Foster of Arkansas; and sisters, Brenda (Larry) Hadley and Betty Kirk of Columbus.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, LeRoy Foster; a sister, Julia Bergman; and stepsons, Rick Howard and Joe Howard.
A graveside memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday in the Bell Tower Garden at Garland Brook Cemetery. Full military rites will be presented by the Indiana Army National Guard Honor Guard and Bartholomew County Veterans Honor Guard.
Family and friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Barkes, Weaver & Glick Funeral Home on Washington Street.
Mr. Foster's family asks that, in lieu of flowers, please send memorial contributions to the Fireman's Cheer Fund in care of Edinburgh Fire Department or the East Side Elementary School Library in Edinburgh.
Online condolences and special memories may be shared with the Foster family and a video tribute may be viewed at barkesweavaerglick.com.

Maintaining the stability of the SMSF system through consistent regulation should be a priority for the sector in 2015, according to one independent financial planning firm.
Speaking to SMSF Adviser, Quantum Financial principal Tim Mackay said the regulatory space in 2014 has remained "fairly consistent".
"There have not been any untoward changes which has been good," said Mr Mackay.
Mr Mackay said SMSF trustees and those working in the SMSF industry are probably pleased with the current stability of the system.
"2014 has been the first year in ages where we've had that certainty from government that there wouldn't be any untoward changes," he said.
Mr Mackay said clients have been able to make longer-term decisions based on that certainty.
Superannuation, he said, requires making long-term decisions so an "environment that fosters stability and certainty is better for planning for retirement".
"The system [is] working quite well now, there are some things that we've tightened up such as excess contributions, there are still potentially some elements that need tidying up but by and large if we can keep the stability of the system so that investors can make informed decisions, that will make the system stronger," said Mr Mackay.
"The fewer changes we can make, the better for the system, and the better for investors."
Mr Mackay has previously hit out at the "incessant tinkering" with superannuation, labelling it a blow to investor confidence.

SIX-YEAR-OLD Jack Mentlak flashes a bashful smile when asked why he likes to look after his grandmother.
"Because I love her," he says.
"And because she's poorly."
Jack, one of the youngest carers in Yorkshire, has lived with his grandparents, Jackie and Tony Mentlak, for most of his life.
His grandmother, 60, herself once a young carer, suffers from severe rheumatoid arthritis and has survived a number of strokes.
But her most recent health battle has been with cancer and four months ago she had lifesaving surgery to remove a tumour from her nose.
Throughout her ordeal, Jack has been her rock, helping with everything from the housework to the care of his younger brother, Charlie, four.
"I wash up and polish. I help grandad finish his jobs. Sometimes we put pictures up and do the gardening," he says. "It's fun."
Mrs Mentlak says: "Jack is just a little dream.
"Sometimes when I get up on a morning I can't move and he gets himself dressed, he gets Charlie's clothes on. It just helps tremendously.
"He says: 'You sit down, grandmother and have a rest'. He helps with everything, even at school they say how caring he is.
"He's such a sentimental little boy, I love him to bits. It means the world to me him helping me."
Mr Mentlak, 63, a plumbing and heating engineer, adds: "He's very special.
"It's genuine – he does it all voluntarily."
The couple fought for full custody of Jack and Charlie to save them from being put into care because of their mother's drug and alcohol problems.
The boys' father John – Mr and Mrs Mentlak's son – is unable to look after them owing to mental illness, but the 35-year-old sees them nearly every day.
"He once had a fit in our kitchen and Jack was the first one there, turning him over and patting his back," Mr Mentlak says.
His wife adds: "He'll tell people his dad's poorly but he's getting better."
Going to Barnardo's Willow Young Carers' Service in Leeds every week has helped Jack to understand and open up about his loved ones' illnesses.
It's also a place he can just have fun like any other six-year-old. It's a marvellous place," says Mrs Mentlak.
"For children whose parents are ill, it's very stressful for them and they've explained it all to him without him getting upset.
"It's just amazing and I'm really thankful for what they do here."
Mrs Mentlak understands the service's value better than most.
Her father died when she was seven, leaving her to care for her mother when she later fell ill with cancer. She died when Mrs Mentlak was 15.
"There was nothing like Willow then. There was nobody to talk to," she says.
"Nobody knows what you are going through. You just don't have a childhood."
While taking on two boisterous little boys has not been easy for the couple, Mr and Mrs Mentlak wouldn't change it for the world.
"Life wouldn't be worth living without them," says Mr Mentlak.
"I consider ourselves to be very lucky to have them. They are a joy."
