$57M passport office for New Amsterdam

BERBICIANS will soon benefit from a $57.5M Passport and Immigration Office following the symbolic turning of the sod by Citizenship Minister Winston Felix and Mayor Winifred Haywood last Saturday.

The office will be located at Garrison Road, Fort Canje, New Amsterdam.
The single-flat, 40×100 feet concrete edifice will be built by M&P Investment (Maria and Pierre Walcott) and construction is expected to commence on December 15 and be completed on April 2018.
The building will have an upper flat and 95 per cent of the workforce will be drawn from the New Amsterdam township.

The building when completed will be a fulfilment of a promise made by the coalition government to decentralise immigration services.
Speaking at the sod-turning ceremony, Minister Felix said prior to the government taking office, about 400 passports were prepared daily, but that number increased to 650 afterwards.

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 11:58)(11:58)0

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 15:52)(15:52)0
