Today February 7th 2011 marks the 37th anniversary of our Political Independence – a vision of the late ex-Prime Minister Sir Eric Matthew Gairy, who ruled this country for 27 years and is now described and accepted as the Father of Our Independence.
As we reflect on the process that resulted in us becoming a sovereign state we think it right and proper to remind everyone especially the younger generation that many politicians, union leaders and religious leaders who are alive today objected strongly to the move and this resulted in many unwanted memories for the country including the first hoisting of

The American billionaire Allen Stanford who became famous for his Sanford 20/20 cricket in the Caribbean, has been deemed unfit to stand trial on charges of running a $7 billion fraud. A US judge has ruled that Stanford  needs treatment for a drug addiction.Stanford has become adicted to medication used to treat him for an injury he sustained when he was attacked and beaten in prison in 2009.Â
“The court finds Stanford is incompetent to stand trial at this time based on his apparent impaired ability to rationally assist his attorneys in preparing his defense,” US District Judge David Hittner wrote in his ruling

St. George’s Grenada, January 27th, 2011: St. George’s, Grenada â€" 27th January, 2011: Members of Her Majesty Opposition say they still consider it a noble initiative by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) to form an economic union.

This statement was made following the conclusion of the OECS Heads’ meeting on Calivigny island on Tuesday. Former prime Minister, Dr. the Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell, believes that the region stands to reap significant benefits from this union but says we should never lose sight of the obvious challenges ahead.

A Tribute to Joe Gibbs
Delivered by James Dumont (former Class mate, GBSS)
GOOD AFTERNOON ALL….
I have been deputed by Charmaine, Joe’s daughter, to give the following BRIEF ACCOUNT of his life.
In a 2 Storey House, located on Tyrell Street, 64 years ago, Lyris gave birth prematurely to a baby boy who was named ERNEST GREGORY GIBBS. He was later nicknamed by Miss Eva AS JOE, not derived from the name JOSEPH, but rather from the name given to the SAILORS who frequently came to the Carenage off the NAVY SHIPS of those times. According to Miss Eva, he resembled the young Sailors. The name Joe stuck with him as he journeyed through childhood from the first school he attended..at TEACHER BLANCH. He continued on to Primary School at WESLEY HALL SCHOOL and took extra lessons during his holidays  preparing him for the move to GBSS in 1959. His mother worked very hard to ensure that Joe attended the very best school on the Island at the time. MAMA LILA, Joe’s grand-mother, made fudge that he would take to WESLEY HALL to sell to help with school expenses.
At school, Joe took part in all sports but his passion was found in CRICKET.
He played cricket every chance he got as his Cricket mate Richard McIntyre would have gone through in detail. An opportunity playing cricket lead him to finally meet his father in Trinidad. Neville Gibbs introduced Joe to his rather extended family in Trinidad. Whether Joe enjoyed that visit we will never know as he hardly spoke of the meeting. We have learnt however, that Neville Gibbs died at the early age of 62 but Joe carried on several traits of his father.
As his life continued through GBSS, the following is an
