What’s the deal for Islands? Considering the Copenhagen Accord and Leadership for a ‘green economy’ |
|
Wednesday, 10 February 2010 |
By John (Johnny) N. Telesford, Independent Researcher
Phew! A sigh of relief or disgust as the COP15 came to what may be described as a lack lustre climax in Copenhagen Sweden on Saturday 19th December, 2009. As the title of this commentary implies, my main focus will be on Islands and the group AOSIS that represented them at the summit. As we are aware Grenada led the AOSIS, over some concern about the number of participants that actually attended. Be this as it may, the AOSIS is a part of the larger group of the G-77; which consists of 130 Nations including the 43 AOSIS Nations. It is crucial that one understands this context, since each group has its own unique circumstances and hence a range of competing interests. Amongst these issues are the differing in opinion on the capping of global temperature rise at 1.5 or 2.0 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and funding for mitigation and adaptation. |

IS STANFORD SIMON AN OPPORTUNIST SEEKING VAIN GLORY? |
|
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 |

 “I WILL NOT ACCEPT SQUATTING; I WAS DOING THE WILL OF GOD AT TEMPO REGGAE CONCERT, WHILE LOOKING FOR SOULS; I WILL CHANGE GRENADA; IAM INFLUENCING HOW THE NDC IS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY; I AM A PASTOR; I AM CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS OF PEOPLE”
On December 19th 2009, the Christian community in Grenada went into shock, as light and darkness became one and good and evil worked together for the common evil, much to the annoyance of those who know better.
Stanford Simon claims that by opening in prayer the Tempo Turns Four concert, at the Grenada National Stadium he was doing the will of the Lord.
Many are asking who did he prayed to. Why was he there? Has the teaching of Christianity changed? Is Stanford Simon a true believer in the Lord or is he an opportunist seeking vain glory.
In this interview with the Barnacle, Stanford Simon responds to his critics “I am a pastor.” |

|
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 |
 With 20 boats already registered the South Grenada Sailing Regatta is no longer just small bait. This Regatta is growing year on year and is now firmly on the yachting events calendar.
The yachting community is an active and thriving industry which generates a lot of revenue including employment opportunities here on the island. To celebrate this community Le Phare Bleu Marina & Boutique Hotel held the first ever South Grenada Regatta (SGR) in February last year. It was a great success and will now be a regular annual event. This year South Grenada Regatta takes place over the last weekend in February, Friday 26th to Sunday 28th February 2010. |
