SAMS Editorial
C
ouncillor Les Baldwin was put on the sex offenders register last
week after he was found guilty of making a sexual abuse image of a
child.
The former chair of safeguarding, come convicted paedophile, must
now decide whether he can still fill his role as a councillor, a duty
which this newspaper firmly believes he should relinquish.
The revelations about Baldwin’s sex life and his preference for young
girls casts serious doubt on his ability to present an example to a community plagued by constant revelations of sexual abuse of children.

Having a convicted paedophile represent this island confirms the
worst stereotypes presented in the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph and makes a mockery of the island’s recent attempts to tackle
the serious issues which we must all face together.
If he stays as a councillor, Baldwin will be the face and voice of the
people of St Helena. What better way to harm the image of this island
as a safe place, a quiet place and a friendly place?
Therefore this newspaper wonders if Mr Baldwin can still represent
his constituents and St Helena abroad. Or should he do the honourable thing and resign?
Sir, you were chosen by the people to serve the people. The best way
you can serve them now is to resign.

T
he newest edition to St Helena’s commercial deep sea fishing fleet arrived at St Helena
last Thursday. After departing South Africa
on 28 October, MFV Amalia docked in James
Bay on Thursday morning at 9.40am, having
taken eight days to sail across the Atlantic to
St Helena. The vessel steamed at an average
eight to ten knots and burned seven tonnes of
fuel on the way here. Despite experiencing a
few mechanical mishaps the crew and vessel
have arrived here safe and sound and were in
good spirits.
“It feels good to be home,” co-owner Peter
Benjamin told The Sentinel, “especially after
experiencing six days of bad sea conditions.”
The vessel rounded Sugar Loaf Point just after
8am and steamed steadily towards the moorings in James Bay escorted by boats from the
local fleet. Friends and family were onboard
the Enchanted Isle and Helena Dorothy and
new sports fishing vessel Egalite also formed
part of the escort.
Angie Benjamin travelled to South Africa with
the crew to help with admin work when purchasing the Amalia, but returned home on the
RMS before the crew made the eight-day voyage. “Seeing the boat come around the corner
this morning was very emotional,” she said.
“It’s finally here!”
Family and friends boarded the vessel after it
had been cleared by customs and port authorities. The crew and other parties then attended
a reception at the Yacht Club.
“The island’s fishing industry was failing big
time,” said Peter. “We’re hoping we can go out
there catch some fish and keep the fishing industry alive.” The vessel can carry up to 30
tonnes of fish and will now join The Swordfish, John Mellis, and Extractor in making
regular trips to the seamounts.
Skipper for the journey was experienced seaman, David ‘Wavy’ Immelman. Errol Thomas
was the ships mechanical engineer, and Raymond Benjamin took on the bulk of cooking
duties. Ian Steyn, Adrian Leo, and Benjamin
brothers, Gavin, Peter, and Alan made up the
rest of the crew.
The crew will enjoy a few days at home before
heading to the seamounts, adding to St Helena’s rapidly growing commercial deep sea
fishing fleet.
Deserving Saint Women
WISH Women of the Year Nominees to be Honoured at Plantation House
F
ollowing the call from WISH, Womens
issues on St Helena, for nominations for the
WISH Woman of the Year award 2015, a
panel of five met on Tuesday to sort through
the 30 nominations the organisation received.
“I’m delighted and staggered by the number
of nominations we have received,” Chair
of WISH Catherine Turner told The Sentinel. WISH committee member, Teeny Lucy
echoed Mrs Turner and added that “30 very
deserving Saint women had been nominated.”
The decision was based on set criteria and
marks out of five were given for different categories: An unsung hero, someone with real
community spirit, selfless altruism, kindness,
caring nature, someone who inspires, someone
who is a role model for others and someone
who has not been formally recognised.
The panel was made up of people totally independent of WISH and it took them just shy of
two hours to determine a winner.
The winner will be announced during a reception at Plantation House on 9 December where
all nominees will be honoured. The winner is
set to receive a perpetual trophy, a £100 cash
prize as well as a prize package that includes
a meal for two at the Blue Lantern, a one-hour
relaxing facial massage at Essence Beauty Salon, and two tickets for ‘carols afloat’ aboard
the RMS St Helena.

COMMENT
PROPOSED NEW FOOD
SAFETY LEGISLATION
BACKYARD SLAUGHTERING
Hannah Durnford, SAMS
“L
et’s say you have a piece of wood, a
nail, and a hammer. Pretend the wood is a
person, and the nail is a nasty rumour about
that person. If you hammer in the nail, you’re
obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull
out the nail, well there’s still a hole in the
wood, and the damage has been done.”
When I came across this on the internet I was
shocked to realise how true it was. At least
once in our lives we have all been a part of
rumours, whether we got told a rumour about
someone, started a rumour or have been a
victim of one.
It is never nice being the victim of a vicious
rumour, yet why does it still seem to happen?
To someone on the outside, a rumour may
seem pretty innocent as we live in such a
small community and sometimes it can’t be
helped being in other people’s business. But
to those who are impacted by them, rumours
can destroy a person’s self-confidence and
affect their self-esteem. What’s more is that
they can ruin reputations, wreck friendships
and are almost impossible to ignore, especially on such a small island.
I always see posts on social media websites
about rumours, and posts from people saying
how rumours have affected their lives and
how others can be so unkind. This leads me
to wonder why rumours get spread. If you
hear a rumour about someone, which you
would not like to be said about yourself, why
help spread it?
I am in no way saying that without rumours
the world would be a better place, as sometimes they can be true, but I feel a lot more
people would be genuinely happy and not
have to but on a facade if rumours were not
spread.
Unfortunately I can’t personally solve the rumour problems that happen every day around
us, but I can give a piece of advice: “Be yourself and try not to let the rumours get you
down. Don’t change who you are because of
what other people say about you. Rumours
will always be spread, but the amount of
damage you allow it to do is up to you only.”

Why stop the way backyard slaughter has been done for many years?
It is necessary to apply strict law for slaughterhouses and one of the aims of the current draft regulations is to do away with inappropriate slaughtering facilities and unsatisfactory slaughtering techniques often associated with less hygienic backyard slaughtering. As a comparison, food safety
standards within the fishing industry are very high compared to those in the current meat industry.
Why the concern?
In many cases, backyard slaughtering is carried out in unhygienic conditions, disinfection is often
not carried out and meat is not effectively protected from flies, dust and other deleterious matter.
Waste and water are not always adequately disposed off. There is often inappropriate storage and
holding of meat, and the mode of transporting meat to sell to the public is sometimes poor, with
some vehicles being used for multiple purposes.
In backyard slaughter, animals are often dragged and butchered while still alive. Some sheep and
goats are killed without ‘stunning’ first. Animals are at risk of suffering prolonged deaths, sometimes at the hands of untrained and unskilled backyard slaughterers.
This is not to mention the effect on close neighbours.
How do slaughterhouses compare?
A registered slaughterhouse is designed and constructed so as to ensure hygienic slaughter and so
arranged to provide adequate space and facilities for the efficient dressing of carcasses, meat inspection and related activities. They permit clean operations to be carried out separately from those
liable to give rise to contamination, and they permit functioning of all operations under hygienic
conditions. Registered slaughterhouses are also effectively screened from pests and other vermin.
The slaughterhouses are equipped with stunning apparatus and slaughtermen are trained and experienced.
Will backyard slaughter be allowed at all?
The rearing of animals is of great importance both socially and economically. The issue of home
slaughter for retail is a sensitive matter, but the establishment of slaughter facilities of sufficiently
high standards, simple and relatively inexpensive, would improve matters greatly.
During the forthcoming consultation period on the introduction of this new legislation, we want to
hear your views on backyard slaughtering and how you would address the main hygiene concerns.
We can then adopt a solution that takes into account local conditions, bearing in mind the primary
objective of food safety.

YOUR LETTERS
Dear editor,
Dear Saints friends,
Following the thanks of our French consul,
Michel, we would like to add ours, in the
name of our French group now sadly returned
back to France, after these incredible 9 days on
the island. This bicentenary was an extraordinary voyage for all of us and we were deeply
touched by the warm welcome of the authorities, professionals and individuals, with so
many events so well organised. As you know,
the napoleonic heritage is one the strength of
st helena for the future tourism development
and we were very happy and proud to see that
it's now fully Your heritage, in the respect of
history and for the benefit of the island.
We arrived with one French Ambassador for
the commemoration, but be sure that we left
with 29 St Helena Ambassadors and friends!
Many many thanks to all people involved in
this sucessful voyage!
With warm regards,
Pascal Laparlière, in the name of our
French group.

Dear Editor
We Peter and Gavin Benjamin would like to
say a big thank you to all who have supported
us in the buying and safe delivery of our fishing vessel MFV Amalia. This was a big challenge, adventure and commitment for us.
Upon arriving at Saldanha Bay we went to
view the vessel and was thunder struck at her
size and condition we knew this was going to
be a good buy. There were challenges along
the way and hurdles in which we had to overcome but we got there in the end.
We would like to extend our thanks to the fol-
lowing people for your encouragement and
support, Terry Richards, BOSH, Immigration, Shipping, Councillors, Karen Yon, Gerald Benjamin, ESH and John Turner on island
and in South Africa, Gillian Webster, Bertie
Beurkes, Fanie & Danell from Saldanha mobile Crane Hire and their employees, Rayno,
Eureka and Sammy from the guest house.
We would like to say a big thank you to our
crew Errol Thomas, Raymond Benjamin, Alan
Benjamin and Adrian Leo from St Helena and
David Immelman and Ian Steyn from South
Africa. This would not have been possible to
do without you guys, thank you. We would
also like to include here a big thank you to
SURE operators who assisted us with communication during our journey home.
Finally we would also like to say thank you to
the families of the crew for allowing them the
time to go off shore to assist us in the delivery
of the vessel and anyone else whom we didn’t
mention above.
Please continue to follow and visit our facebook page to see what we are getting up to.

We Will Remember Them
Remembrance Sunday Service 2015
S
t Helena came out to remember the fallen,
the serving and former servicemen and women
at the remembrance service last Sunday morning. Following the Get-togethers Orchestra
and the Salvation Army Band’s marching tune
was a procession of scouts, guides and rainbows who all stood next to the newly painted
Cenotaph.
After the arrival of the governor Capes his wife
the bishop of St Helena welcomed everyone
and invited people to pray. Governor Capes
began the remembrance by saying, “they shall
not grow old, as we that are left grow old; age
shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,”
Students and teachers
of Pilling Primary
School
which was replied by a student and all present
with “We remember them.”
At 11am the Last Post was played followed by
two minutes silence. The divine service continued with the singing of the national anthem
and the laying of wreaths. The governor began first by laying the territory’s wreath followed by wreaths for the Armed Forces, the
Merchant Navy and the St Helena Police and
Fire and Rescue Service. Members of the public were then allowed to lay their tributes on
the Cenotaph.
The event was concluded with the Kohima
Epitaph said by Mr Sean Burns and the Act
of Commitment which was made by the Lord
Bishop of St Helena. He ended saying, “let
us commit ourselves to responsible living and
faithful service.”

Atlantic Star Defends Partners Travelpack
Female MPs thrown out of NZ parliament after disclosing sexual assaults
Several female MPs were ordered to leave
the New Zealand parliament on Wednesday
after their declarations that they had been
victims of sexual assault were ruled out of
order by the Speaker.
The women’s intervention came after prime
minister John Key on Tuesday accused opposition Labour and Green MPs of “backing the rapists” in a row over the detention
of New Zealanders by the Australian government.
Opposition politicians had raised concerns
in parliament over the detention of New
Zealand citizens awaiting deportation after
the Canberra government cancelled visas
for those convicted of certain crimes.
Key went on a tirade after being questioned
by Labour leader Andrew Little, telling Little “you back the rapists”, before being cut
off by the Speaker, David Carter.
“Some of the [detainees] are rapists, some
of them are child molesters, and some of
them are murderers,” Key said.
“These are the people that the Labour party
are saying are more important to support
than New Zealanders who deserve protecting when they come back here.”
Key told Labour MP Kelvin Davis, who
has said the detentions make a
mockery” of the Anzac relationship: “If
you want to put yourself on the side of sex
offenders, go ahead my son, but we’ll defend New Zealanders.”
An estimated three-quarters of Labour MPs
walked out of parliament directly after
Key’s comments on Tuesday, along with
several Green members.
Key told the house and New Zealand media
that he stood by his comments.
A number of New Zealanders are being
detained on Christmas Island after the Australian government introduced a retroactive
law requiring the deportation of overseas
citizens convicted of crimes carrying a custodial sentence of more than a year. Some
New Zealanders affected by the change
have lived in Australia for several years and
are appealing the decision to deport them.
On Wednesday, Green party co-leader Metiria Turei told the Speaker that as a survivor of sexual violence she was deeply offended by Key’s remarks: “As the victim
of a sexual assault, I take personal offence
at the prime minister’s comments, and ask
that you require him to withdraw and apologise.”
Her comments were echoed by Green MP
Catherine Delahunty, who was told by the
Speaker to stop and sit back down.
Abridged article from the Guardian
Travelpac’s London office is a small building next to a pound shop
August Graham, SAMS
A
tlantic Star Airlines this week defended
their partners TravelPack after scathing reviews on the internet has left potential customers worried about the reliability of the service.
TravelPack, a booking agent based in London,
has been called “a bunch of crooks” and “ripoff merchants” by users on Tripadvisor, but
Atlantic Star dismisses these reviews as “not
very well-controlled.”
TravelPack will be dealing with the bookings
for Atlantic Star’s proposed new service from
St Helena to the UK, they will also be the company which provides the financial backing for
the project and will ensure customers are refunded should something go wrong.
However online reviews have been scathing.
One traveller was annoyed with TravelPack:
“I booked tickets and they took payment. I did
not receive my e-ticket so I rang to chase it
up. The guy informed me that the flight was
non-existent and he could offer me an alternative, which was an indirect flight and I had to
pay an additional £120. On top of that it would
mean that I would arrive one day later at my
holiday destination.”
The experience of this user was by no means
unique; another complained that “they offered
a good deal. Shortly after an email saying they
could not honour it and offering two more expensive (and less convenient) options.”
Atlantic Star director Richard Brown said
this disappointment would not extend to the
St Helena service. “The internet is not a very
well audited, or very well controlled portal,”
he said, claiming it “gives people the opportunity to vent their anger.”
But TravelPack’s bad reviews are overwhelming. In total The Sentinel found 101 people on
Tripadvisor who claim to have booked with
the comapny. Of these 70 had a negative experience, 24 were happy with the service, and
seven seemed to be neutral.
Despite this, Mr Brown believes travellers
should trust Atlantic Star and TravelPack.
“TravelPack are a UK Civil Aviation Authority regulated business. You cannot be a cowboy in that business because the CAA simply
won’t allow you to be on sale,” he said while
inviting those who do not want to travel with
them to go via Johannesburg.

ZD7W Competes for St Helena

Oliver Sweningsen, Visiting Radio Amateur from California Represents
the Tomb Road area
St Helena in an Annual Worldwide Competition Antenna being set up inInset:
Rainbow guides
O
ver 30,000 "radio hams" spend a weekend exchanging reports and logging radio
contacts in the CQ Worldwide Contest in late
October each year. The objective is to talk to
as many stations on as many high frequency
(HF) radio bands as possible over the 48 hour
contest period.
Preliminary results indicate station ZD7W
located on Tomb Road placed 18 of approximately 10,000 competing in the All Band
Single Operator classification. ZD8W made
3,747 contacts in over 140 countries during the
contest period. Faraway places like New Zealand and Australia as well as familiar places
like the Falklands and Ascension Island were
logged. Stedson Stroud, the warden of Green
Mountain National Park is ZD8S and, he contacted Oliver on all six bands. Oliver said the
highlight was "hooking-up" with a friend in
Montenegro, with less than 15 minutes to go.
Oliver and Ranko 4O3A established contact
on 5 of the 6 active radio bands, adding to the
country multiplier counts of each station.
Oliver credits the favourable geographic location of St Helena, in the South Atlantic Ocean.
With the help of Bruce Salt (ZD7VC) the sta-
tion was installed at the Tomb Road house of
Andrew and Sheree Joshua. The aerials were
installed at favourable locations to "beam"
signals to the United States and Europe where
there are high populations of contesting amateurs that all want to talk to St Helena. Other
radio amateurs including Daniel Leo, Peter
Constantine and Gary Mercury met with Oliver and his wife Ann during their stay. Oliver
has been a Radio Amateur since age 13. He
said the hobby sparked a life-long interest and
career in electrical engineering. Oliver noted
that Daniel Leo, who oversees the radio club at
Prince Andrew School, is helping many learn
radio and electrical fundamentals. Rainbow
irls, Kaelize Thomas and Qui Sim-Green visited the station to participate in a demonstration
and talk to a station in England. Perhaps they
will be engineers one day.
Oliver and his wife Ann drove and walked
many miles while visiting the island. The
Sweningsens have worked and travelled
throughout the world and, they believe St
Helena has unique scenic and historical attractions. In particular, they both enjoyed the
countryside views and visits to Napoleon's
Tomb, Longwood House and, the Museum in
Kaelize Thomas and Qui Sim-Green
Jamestown.
The Sweningsens sends greetings to their
many new friends on St Helena.

Temporary Closure
Swimming Pool Down Due to Broken Filter
A
filter has broken in Jamestown’s swimming pool, causing the pool to be
closed until the near future. A member of the pool staff told The Sentinel last week
that the filter had been taken out of the pool for a couple of weeks, but due to the
weather getting hotter, the algae in the pool had been blooming and could not be
cleared.
There is a replacement filter on island and the pool staff are hoping to install it
soon and get the pool up and running once again. However, on Wednesday of this
week the swimming pool was still closed.

In The Kitchen
Second-Generation Saint Matt Wows Britain with St Helena Inspired Dish
August Graham, SAMS
F
rom paper boy to award-winning chef, Matt Gillan has worked
his way up from the bottom. Now, drawing on his Saint heritage,
he put on an inspired performance on the BBC programme Great
British Menu, getting the highest score of any main course in the
programme’s history.
He works as head chef at The Pass restaurant in West Sussex. With
four AA Rosettes and a Michelin star, Matt is living on the cutting
edge of food. A far cry from fishcakes and chips, it’s still his Saint
heritage which won Matt one of the most prestigious awards of his
career.
He used a goat recipe to wow the judges in the final of the Great
British Menu, a BBC programme where the star prize is cooking
for a banquet in London’s historic Draper’s Hall. The event is a
celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of the Women’s Institute.
How does it feel to cook the best meal
the programme has ever had?
It’s quite an overwhelming feeling.
I wanted to produce a good dish that would get me to the
banquet. I put everything into it, but didn’t expect the
reaction it received. I’m very proud of that dish.
The young chef’s main course was a story based on the campaigns of the Women’s Institute, trying to bring the often-neglected billy goat back
into the public imagination.
Matt called his dish a “minimal waste, maximum use master class in goat,” and was full of aplomb during the competition. “I’ve been saving
myself so you might as well stop cooking now to be honest,” he told a fellow chef.
And it wasn’t hot air. He used every cut from the animal which wowed the judges and his fellow chefs, who all gave the meal a ten out of ten.
A self-professed lover of Nando’s and lasagne, Matt told The Sentinel his childhood was a Saint diet of fishcakes and curry, but the family home
was full of British cuisine as well.

LIFESTYLE & CULTURE
So what got you into cooking?
I was doing a paper round and my best friend was washing dishes. He
was earning more money per shift washing up than I was working all
week delivering papers. I asked him to get me a job washing up, and
he did. Paul then moved on to helping the chefs but it wasn’t really
his thing so he left. I took over from him and just loved it. I loved
being in the kitchen. I enjoyed the pressure, the learning, the
challenge. I liked that every shift I worked was different. And
I was getting paid more money to do something I enjoyed.
Matt’s Saint mother, Patricia Simon, left the island
“many moons ago” and met his father in the UK.
So, part-Saint Matt was born in Britain. He came
to St Helena once at the age of eight, spending
three months on the island and going to school
here for a little while.
Do you think Saint cooking influenced your style?
We grew up with quite a variety of dishes. Obviously with mum being
ing a Saint,
we’d have fishcakes, curry etc, especially when we had the family gatherings.
herings. But
there was also a lot of English food. Mum worked for private homes
es where she
had to learn how to cook what the owners wanted. My Dad worked in the
Navy, so when he cooked, it was different again. Very much based on
what the sailors would eat for family meal.
I personally don’t think any of my cooking style has been influenced
by mum or dad. It’s very much been from the kitchens I’ve worked
in and the books I’ve read.
You went back to your St Helenian roots
ots
for the winning dish. What made you
think of doing that?
Picking goat for the main course was a fairly easy and natural decision.
Although I’ve been using goat on my menu for years, and have grown up
on it, in the UK goat is not a commonly consumed meat. The billy goats
get culled at birth and ‘binned’.
The Women’s Institute have a waste not, want not approach to food and
it just made sense to use an ingredient that is essentially being wasted.
The goat just tied in perfectly and it has really opened people’s eyes to
the versatility of the meat and hopefully it will become more popular.
Did doing something
different help you?
Doing something different will always grab attention and set
anyone apart. My focus was to use an ingredient that people
know very little about and showcase what can be done. It
wasn’t necessarily to stand out, but tell a story about my
heritage, a wasted resource and the values of the Women’s
Institute. The way I presented the dish and told the story was
very different to what anyone else did in the competition. It
was more than just a plate of food. It got people thinking. I
think that’s why it stood out.
I know it’s cheeky to
ask, but could you
please come here and
set up a restaurant?

If there is a market for my style
of food on the island, I’m sure I
could arrange something with a

Uncle Sam, dipping his finger on the wet spot and taking a quick taste,
“I’m going to guess it’s a case of apple juice.”
“No!” said Benny jumping up and down clearly enjoying the game. “Not
apple juice?” said Uncle Sam clearly surprised. After another quick taste
and a brief pause he guessed again, “is it apple cider?” “No,” said Benny
practically squealing in excitement, “IT’S A PUPPY!”

ST HELENA SNIPPETS
Shipping Delays?
Bidders Seafast Claim Shipping
Contract Has Been Held Up
August Graham, SAMS
The construction of the wharf in Rupert’s is nearing completion
Seafast, one of the companies which are bidding for St Helena’s ocean freight service, last
week publically questioned the bid of rivals
AW Shipping and said there have been delays
to the freight tender.
Their statement comes over four months since
AW Shipping were announced as the preferred
bidders for the contract. SHG said they had
selected AW in June, but no further announcement has been made since.
This long period between the selection of a
preferred bidder and the announcement of who
has won the contract stands in stark contrast
to the air service. It was less than two weeks
between the initial announcement and the selection of Comair in March.
The government have said they do not wish to
comment on ongoing negotiations or whether
there has been a delay. They were however
forced to reveal the preferred bidder early after
the information was leaked to the Independent
before an official announcement.
But Seafast say the reason for the delay lies in
the preparation of the wharf in Rupert’s and
also point towards the unsuitability of AW
Shipping’s bid. They claim the proposed ship,
the MV Svendborg, could not cope with “such
a challenging sea-route.”
This news comes amid rumours, which both
SHG and AW Shipping have denied, that the
decommissioning of the RMS will be delayed
until December 2016. “There are no current
plans to extend the life of the RMS St Helena
at this current time, and the schedule remains
the same as advertised on the website,” the financial secretary told The Sentinel. AW Shipping also said they were not aware of any such
plans.
Legal Delays - Attorney General Denies Claim of Problems in Her Office
August Graham, SAMS
T
he attorney general has denied her chambers are facing serious problems. She was
speaking to The Sentinel about allegations
that important legislation had been delayed
because the legal drafting had not been done
in time. She also claimed Legislative Council, which was due to be held last Friday, was
not postponed because of her chambers. But
she refused to comment on the departure of
the solicitor general.
When The Sentinel inquired why there had
been such a short period of public consultation on the environmental protection ordinance, SHG’s public relations team had told
us there were delays in the legal drafting
process.
However Attorney General Nicola Moore
said that the ordinance was drafted outside the
AG’s office. She also said that an agreement
that the ordinance would only be presented to
the environment committee broke down. This
meant it was put in front of several committees
and the process which should have been over
in a week, actually took five.
“In fact I was the one who said we can’t wait
until we get [the ordinance] back from the
overseas teams because if we do it could be
another year,” Ms Moore claimed, “I actually
drove it and said if we have to make minor
amendments later, it’s better to get it in force.”
“There was no delay in getting the ordinance
through the appropriate drafting stages,” she
continued, going against what the government’s PR had stated.
There still has been no statement from the
government on the sudden resignation of the
solicitor general, who left her post only weeks
after returning from holiday.
Ms Moore also dismissed accusations that
she had delayed the Jamestown parking review and the environment committee’s work
to ensure the safe handling of explosives.
The Sentinel has also learnt from the councillor’s office that LegCo, which was due to
take place last Friday, was delayed because
of Ms Moore’s absence from the island. She
had left on short notice, causing speculation
of her resignation, but instead she travelled to
the UK to do work around the Wass inquiry.
Ms Moore said her absence was nothing to
do with the delay of LegCo. “Some papers
that were supposed to go to ExCo didn’t,
not because they weren’t ready.” ExCo was
then delayed and this had a knock-on effect
on LegCo. “There is a minimum requirement
for papers to be published ten days before a
LegCo, so if there was any change in dates,
I don’t think you’ll find it was anyone’s particular responsibility.”

CHURCH NOTICES
FaithMatters
Father Fred George
Thousands and thousands
of thousands –
Many years ago, when I was
a
student I came across a six
volume work in the College
library called “The Lives of
the Saints” and it was written
by that good old priest who wrote “Onward
Christian Soldiers” and translated “Through
the night of doubt and sorrow”, Sabine Baring
- Gould. The text of his book was written so
that each of the Saints had a short paragraph or
a long text given them according to how much
was known about each. It was arranged like a
calendar and each day of the year had a number of Saints, quite commonly six on a single
day. Now this shouldn’t surprise us because
the Saints are those that God, in his mercy,
sent Jesus to save and to become members of
the Church, members of Christ’s “Company
of Heaven” and there have been two thousand
years to get to that number. They begin here
on earth and they continue there in heaven, a
future Jesus has prepared for us. There are
not just those few thousand Saints that Baring
Gould listed but many millions, so many that
no man may number them as the Book of Revelation says.
( Revelation VII, 9 )
Last week we commemorated All Saint’s Day
with a view to remember the great tradition
we follow. On the next day we commemorated all the faithful departed for they count as
much as those listed in a book of Saints. Last
Sunday we commemorated those who fell in
battle. May the Lord bless them all. Monday
was Margery Kempe day and we commemorated this fifteenth century busy house wife
and mystic from Kings Lynn. Tuesday was
Saint Leo’s day, a great fifth century leader
of the Church. Yesterday we commemorated Saint Martin’s day at the little church on
Thomson’s Hill.
I am not promising that if you pray and worship and love the Lord Jesus and all the people that you come into contact with that the
Church will find a day for you. However, I
am promising you that, if you do these things,
that you will enter the Company of the Saints
in Heaven because you would be in that same
Company now here on earth.

Marine Section Now Knee-Deep in Fisheries Science
New Personnel Arrives as Part of Project
S
t Helena can have “one of the best managed fisheries” in the world, visiting fisheries
expert Dr Martin Collins told The Sentinel. Dr
Collins is on island as part of a Marine Section
project to improve the scientific knowledge of
the fisheries and hopes St Helena can have outstanding tuna fisheries.
The Marine Section is currently running a
two-year project to sustainably manage St
Helena’s fisheries and marine tourism sectors.
The project comes in three elements Elizabeth
Clingham, Marine Conservation Officer told
The Sentinel, and the section is now knee-deep
in fisheries science.
There are a few key things which the Marine
Section and Dr Collins want to try to do, including the tagging of tuna. “The yellowfin
tuna seems to be the most important species in
St Helena waters. We want to know how long
these fish are around for and where they go
when they leave St Helena, to get a better understanding of growth,” Dr Collins said, “tuna
are highly migratory; they’re distributed from
the Gulf of Mexico right across to the Gulf of
Guinea and St Helena is right on the edge of
the migration. If we tag fish here, hopefully
the tags will show up in other places and we
will receive information on them, then St Hel-
Elizabeth Clingham, Marine Conservation Officer
and visiting fisheries expert Dr Martin Collins
ena can feed that information into the broader
management of tuna in the Atlantic.”
Dr Collins will be on island until 6 January
and will return three more times during the
project, once in March and in August 2016 and
then towards the end of the project in February
2017. This will be an important phase of working with the data that has been collected and
finalising the analysis. “We are hoping that
a combination of improving the science can
actually have a broad benefit for St Helena’s
fisheries,” Dr Collins said.
Be Careful Where You Park
Liam Yon, SAMS
Police Carrying Out Campaign in Jamestown
Throughout this month and December the
police will be conducting a parking awareness
campaign in Jamestown. This comes following
a meeting between councillors and the chief of
police, where concerns were raised about the
abuse of parking regulations in Jamestown.
The main points to be monitored during the
campaign will be double and broken yellow
lines, two-hour parking bays, and causing an
obstruction when parking. “Double yellow
lines are there for a reason,” said Temporary
Inspector, Matt Durkin, “invariably it’s because when you park on them it causes an ob-
Parking in Jamestown
struction or it’s just dangerous to park there.”
Broken yellow lines can only be parked on
when motorists are loading or offloading
people or goods and are not “a permanent
parking space.” Police will also look out for
people causing an obstruction by parking inconsiderately, which could cause problems for
other road users and, more importantly, for
emergency vehicles responding to an incident.
In regards to two-hour parking bays, Mr Durkin said, “Quite often people park there and
they stay there all day. The reason they are
there is so that people can come to town, do
their shopping, and leave.”
Mr Durkin hopes that by working with the
public the police will be able to “alleviate the
problems and help flow up the movement of
traffic.” Officers will use leaflets to advise
drivers that they are either complying with the
law or parking unlawfully. The police stress
that although they do not want to prosecute
abuse of parking regulations, repeat offenders
could be brought to court.
The campaign comes at the time of year when
the number of cars parked in Jamestown is
likely to increase as people return home for
Christmas.

Contribution, Pilling Primary
O
n a bright summer’s day I and my
friends were exploring an amazing Palace.
Water falls were glimmering in the sunshine. Flowing down mountains it was a
beautiful day and the Palace was a shiny
green. The sky was shiny blue. The white
clouds rose over the Palace and the mountains were incredibly tall. The fields were
ginormous long and the tower was ginormous. There was no rain at all. Streams ran
down the valley as far as they could go. It
was fantastic to see. - By Oliver Tyson
O
A
s I travelled along to the lovely gold
beach I saw some white boats. The sea
was calm, so we got on the boat and went
for a ride and had lots of fun on the boat.
The cold wind blew our hair round, then
we came back on the beach and we had
a swim in the lovely blue sea. We caught
some orange fish and some green fish. We
came back out and we made a meal out of
the fish. Then we went into the jungle and
we walked through the jungle. We saw a
snake. We didn’t touch them. So we went
on. We saw monkeys and we gave them
some bananas. Then we carried on our
journey through the amazing jungle.
By Blaze Baldwin
n a bright morning I saw a good spot for
a picnic. It was a beautiful beach. I saw a
gigantic tree and lots of boats and a bright
sea .The sun was shining. The fish was swimming fast. My mum set up the picnic, my dad
had make the sandwiches, after that we had
a boat ride. One hour later we came back. It
was lunch and I saw an extraordinary beautiful
sea bird in the shining sky. We had also set up
the tents. Four hours later it was night and we
had a good time! The next day it was another
sunny day, birds were singing, a wave came in
and splash! We all went for a swim.

A
s I travelled on a journey me and my
friends were looking for treasure. We did

for joy. - By Tarell Clark
Nine Hundred Pound Copper Coin
Liam Yon, SAMS
St Helena Coin Sells for Huge Price in Auction
L
ast month a 1714 St Helena East India
Company copper coin sold for £900. The
coin was expected to fetch anywhere between £400 to £500 at a Dix, Noonan and
Webb (DNW) auction in London; renowned
for auctioning rare coins and medals.
On their official website DNW described
the coin as having a fine obverse, a very fine
reverse with a full date and was labelled as
‘very rare’ and the first coin for the island.
The coin was said to have been found on the
Thames foreshore in East London.
The briefing on the website for the coin read:
“Following an unsuccessful attempt by the
directors of the East India Company to have
a coinage for St Helena struck in England
in 1713, on 12 February 1714 the company
instructed its mint at Fort St George to strike
copper halfpence, farthings and silver fanams for the island, although it was not until
towards the end of 1716 that the coins were
placed in circulation.”
The £900 figure is one of the largest a copper coin has ever sold for in auction.

Smile for the Camera
CCTV Cameras Approved for Wharf
H
eated debates and discussions about the
CCTV at the wharf in Jamestown have resulted in elected members agreeing to the surveillance.
When elected members discussed the CCTV
System it was for the wharf. “We are not
agreeing for CCTV for St Helena per se, it is
for a specific area for a specific reason,” said
Councillor Lawson Henry. Over the past year
there has been very serious criminal damage
and theft at the wharf, as well as anti-social
behaviour. “I hope the public realise that this is
not something we do lightly, but is something
that we have to do as a deterrent,” Councillor
Henry told The Sentinel.
The CCTV Camera System was not taken to
public consultation because the surveillance
is not being extended across St Helena and is
only being used to protect SHG and private assets. “We are satisfied that the customs have in
place standing operating procedures to operate
the cameras, but if it was being put publically
on St Helena then we would want public consultation and proper regulations,” said Councillor Henry.
The system which will be used is cheap but can
capture images of any wrongdoing. “Under
the international ship and port facility code it
states that you should either have CCTV Systems in place or 24/7 onsite security, right now
we don’t have either so we have to have one
or the other to be compliant with the code,”
Jon Holland, Head of Customs and Port Control said. The equipment is not costing SHG
or the UK government anything, “our friends
in Brussels are paying for it through the European Development Fund,” he said.
With any surveillance equipment there will
be people who are fearful of being on camera.
“I would like to reassure the public that nobody will be watching what has happened on
camera. The only time that we will resort to
reviewing a recording is if there was a crime
committed or an accident. That will be the
only time the standing operating procedures
authorises Jon Holland or his deputy to view
the tapes in support of any investigations of
a crime or accident,” Councillor Henry said.
If footage of a particular incident has been located it can then go to court and officials or
law enforcement bodies may request to view
the footage in the port control office, “it’s very
strict guidelines that cover the use of this footage,” Mr Holland said.
“We are hoping that we never have to use any
of the footage captured by the cameras for
prosecutions because it will be a deterrent,”
Councillor Henry said. The CCTV footage
will also be deleted after six months if there
no incidents, “the vast majority of people have
nothing to fear,” Mr Holland said.
The Oldest Member Church of the Baptist Union of
South Africa in the Spotlight
Baptist Church Celebrates 170th Anniversary
C
Anne Clarke, SAMS
elebrations to mark the 170th anniversary
of the Baptist Witness on St Helena ended on
Sunday 8 November, with the departure of a
team of Baptists who had visited the Island to
mark the occasion. The team of eight included
the General Secretary of the Baptist Union of
Southern Africa, Rev. Angelo Scheepers and
his wife Naomi, on their second visit to St Helena, Rev Errol Wesson and his wife Claudia,
Bishop Joe Bell, Klaus and Noeleen Bonow
from Benoni Baptist Church, near Johannesburg, and a specialist in children's ministry,
Morag McLean made up the team.
A Celebration Service took place at the Jamestown Chapel on Sunday 1 November, with
invited guests and the congregation. Rev
Scheepers handed over a framed certificate
of congratulations from the Baptist Union of
South Africa, he then delivered the sermon after the pastor, Rev Graeme Beckett gave a 10
minute overview of the history of the church,
which is the oldest member church of the
Baptist Union of South Africa. Rev. Scheepers challenged the church to adapt to changes
which are likely to take place after the airport
becomes operational, yet without diluting the
good news of the Gospel. The service was followed by a luncheon with curries and a "saint"
selection of meats, salads and desserts.
From Monday the celebrations hit full swing,
for three areas of ministry: Firstly, children at-
Rev Angelo Scheepers and
pastor, Rev Graeme Beckett
tended a treasure hunt, which involved various activities, led by Morag, which extended
to Friday, and culminated in a family picnic on
Saturday, 7th November. Secondly there were
evening meetings, Monday through Friday, at
the Jamestown Schoolroom, led by Bishop Joe
Bell, focusing on family life, titled "Fighting
for the Family". Finally there were "Music &
Gospel" meetings, Monday to Wednesday at
the Sandy Bay Community Centre, and Thursday to Saturday at the Blue Hill Community
Centre, and Monday to Saturday at the Half
Tree Hollow Community Centre. The speakers alternated between Revs. Wesson and
Scheepers.
To conclude there was a well-attended coffee
morning on Saturday 7th November, at which
Naomi Scheepers delivered an address after
some lively singing.
In spite of the very full programme, the team
managed to take time to enjoy the sights and a
guided tour of the airport.
"I wish to thank the Church Council and the
Gospel Outreach Committee as well as all
those members and friends for their hard work
in making the Celebration Week possible" said
Rev Beckett, "which includes the providing of
accommodation, transport, catering and many
other acts of kindness, which has left such a
positive impression of the island and its people
in the minds of the team, many of whom intend returning in the near future."

NEIL JAMES ANTHONY (40) of Two

In view of the serious nature of these offences, sentence had been adjourned for a

29th October 2015
DERRILL GRAHAM CROWIE (29) of
Deadwood had pleaded guilty to driving
while 69% over the prescribed alcohol limit
and without a motor vehicle road licence. As
Mr Crowie had similar previous convictions
from Ascension Island, sentence had been

determining sentence. Sentence was again adjourned for such a Pre-Sentence Report, as the
same was not available due to Mr Crowie attending late for his assessment.
30th October 2015
SHAVON MARK HENRY (29) of Harbour

of burglary, during which he stole a quantity of
sugar from a house. Sentence was adjourned
for a Pre-Sentence Report.
2nd November 2015
RICO JOHN YON (26) of Longwood Avenue was found guilty after trial of taking two
vehicles, one after the other, without the owner’s consent and in doing so driving while disqualified and without insurance. Sentence was
adjourned for a Pre-Sentence report. As Mr
Yon was also in breach of a suspended prison
sentence and a probation order by committing
these offences, he was remanded in custody.
5th November 2015
LESLIE PAUL BALDWIN (54) of Near
High Knoll was charged with having 15 indecent photographs of children on his SHG
issued laptop computer and a further 8 such
photographs on a personal hard drive. Mr
Baldwin admitted having these photographs
amongst other adult pornography. He did not
however accept that these photographs were
of children or indecent. The court indicated
that, no matter how disturbing ordinary right
thinking members of society might find the
use of any photographs of children for sexual
gratification, the law requires the court when
deciding if photographs are indecent, to ignore the context of such photographs, namely, having been stored with other admitted
adult pornography. The court required to
determine whether these photographs were,
as a matter of fact, in themselves indecent,
ignoring this context. Having carefully assessed the photographs, the court determined
that 8 of the photographs were not indecent
and in any event could be of females over
18 and therefore the court could not be sure
that they were of children. A further 8 photographs, while indecent, again could be of females over 18 and therefore the court could
not be sure that they were of children. A further 6 photographs were determined not to
be indecent, although they were of children,
ranging in age from an estimated 10 to 17
years old. One photograph was determined
to be an indecent photograph of an entirely
naked child, with an estimated age of 10 to
12 years of age. Mr Baldwin was therefore
found not guilty in respect of 22 of these
photographs, as the court was not satisfied
beyond a reasonable doubt, that such were
both of children and indecent. Mr Baldwin
was however found guilty of making, that is
downloading from the internet and saving on
his SHG laptop, one photograph, which photograph the court was sure was both a child
with an estimated age of 10 to 12 years old
and indecent. Mr Baldwin was placed on the
sex offenders register and sentence was adjourned for a Pre-Sentence Report.
WILFRED YOUNG (57) of Jamestown
pleaded guilty to possession of two firearms
without a firearms certificate. The court reiterated that for firearms offences, the starting point when considering sentence will be
a period of imprisonment. As Mr Young did
have a licence for another firearm lawfully,
exceptionally the court considered that it
could deal with this offence by a significant
fine of £450.00 with costs of £15.00. The
court also confiscated the unlicensed firearms.
10th November 2015
SANJAY ROSS CRAIG WILLIAMS (18)
of Near Golf Club, Longwood was found
guilty after trial of criminal damage. Mr
Williams was fined £225.00 with costs of
£50.00.

Convicted!
Councillor’s Trial Produces Startling Revelations
of the others. The court heard a long case from
the prosecution, describing all the photographs
and reading out the full transcript of the police
interview with Baldwin.
The 23 pictures which the police thought may
be indecent photographs of children had all
been downloaded off the internet, so the court
was unable to question any potential victim
and had to judge the age of the subject and decide whether the pictures were indecent.
They found that one of the photos was of a ten
to twelve year old girl who was standing naked
outside. The photograph was considered indecent, and Baldwin was convicted for it. There
were also six other pictures of children which
August Graham, SAMS
L
es Baldwin was convicted of possessing
an indecent photograph of a child on Thursday
last week at the Magistrate’s Court in Jamestown. The former safeguarding councillor,
who has been put on the sex offenders register,
is now awaiting sentence for the conviction.
Baldwin had been charged with four counts
of making and possessing indecent images of
children. Though pleading innocent he was
found guilty on the first charge, and acquitted
the court thought were not indecent. However
these pictures of children, between the ages of
10 and 17, were found in Baldwin’s pornography collection.
Some of the other photographs were deemed
to be indecent; however the court said they
could not be sure that the girls were under 18.
The magistrates heard during the trial that
Baldwin had admitted the folder that the pictures of children were found in was a collection he got sexual stimulation from. Some of
the photographs – downloaded between January 2014 and June 2015 – were found on his
government laptop, under the username councillorbaldwin.
When confronted with the photographs in the
police interview, Baldwin said he thought the
subjects were over 16 years old. However police interviewers called him “breathtakingly
naive,” and asked how the former chair of
safeguarding could not know it is illegal to
have indecent photographs of anyone under
18.
When asked about the photograph that he has
been convicted for Baldwin said: “I hope she
was sixteen.” He also claimed to be incredibly
“anti-paedophile.”
Baldwin is now waiting for his sentencing on
3 December. It’s not clear what this will mean
politically, however should he appear at Legislative Council on Friday it is likely he will face
a vote of no confidence. But as he is unlikely
to get over a year in prison Baldwin cannot be
forced to resign.

NOTICE BOARD
TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY A SUCCESS
On Friday 6 November 2015 St Helena celebrated its inaugural Teacher
Appreciation Day - when teachers on the Island received thank you notes,
handmade gifts and other treats from schoolchildren and fellow colleagues alike highlighting the value and importance placed on teachers within St Helena’s
community.
As a mark of this value, Governor and Mrs Capes hosted an evening reception on
the day at Plantation House, where teachers and former students came together to
celebrate their joint achievements.
Governor Capes said:
“I am happy to have this opportunity to host an evening for those on the Island who
nurture St Helena’s most precious resource, our children.
“This reception marks Teacher Appreciation Day, which I am told is the first one to
be held on the Island. If that is the case, then this is well overdue and I would like to
say ‘Thank You’ to the Education Committee and the Education Directorate for all
their hard work in developing the Strategic Development Plan for Teaching - which
results in today’s celebrations.
“We often speak about the Airport and it can sometimes seem to dominate our
discussions on developing future opportunities. But what is really important is the
role teachers play in equipping young Saints with the skills necessary to take the
Island forward.”
Councillor Nigel Dollery spoke about the return of graduates Stacey Thomas, Derrie
Yon and Laura Lawrence who, with their newly acquired skills, will strengthen the
teaching profession themselves.
Director of Education, Shirley Wahler, concluded:
“This is our day to say Thank You. I want to join all those other voices to say well
done for overcoming tough obstacles and continuing in your profession. And tonight
we are paying a special tribute for those teachers who have served for over twenty
years in continuous service.”
During the evening, Maureen Plato, Dulcie Herne, Patricia Henry, Edna Richards,
Hazel Peters, Barbara Osborne, Nicholas Plato, Carlene Crowie, Elaine Benjamin,
Patricia Williams and Eileen Hudson received awards for their continuous service,
with Eileen Hudson being the longest current serving teacher at 43 years in the
teaching profession.
A new Scheme of Service was also officially launched on the night. This scheme is
designed to encourage career development, develop new skills and competencies
and reward current teaching staff. Further details on this new scheme will follow.

Harts 3 - 2 Fugees
Sunday 8 November 2015 - Match Report
continued from back page
Wayne Rooney has faced some fearsome opponents in his career, but they don’t come much
bigger than 6ft 7in, 246lb WWE wrestler Wade
Barrett.
And when the pair went head to head at the
Manchester Arena on Monday night, it was the
Manchester United captain who came out on
top, giving Barrett the slap down.
When Preston fan Barrett spotted the striker
triker in
the front row with his son Kai at WWE
WE Raw,
he saw a chance for revenge. He begann goading Rooney and offered him a fight in the ring
- before adding that he did not want to embarrass the striker in front of his son, saying
ing that
he experiences that “every time you step
tep on a
football pitch”.
Rooney began taunting Irish wrestler Sheamus
heamus
during his fight with Antonio Cesaro,, which
prompted Barrett to confront his footballing
tballing
nemesis face-to-face at ringside.
He told Rooney to mind his own business
ness and
prodded the England star in the chest.
The England captain responded by slapping
Barrett, who fell to the ground theatrically,
cally, to
the delight of the crowd.
and began to string together passes, albeit with
their search for an equaliser causing them to
attack a little too directly. There were occasions when Chris Owen was unmarked and in
yards of space on the right wing, and a simple
switch in play would have allowed him to slip
in behind Fugees’ defence.
Fugees were playing with greater fluency than
in previous games and were eager to close

neutralise the attacking threat of their opposite
numbers, Ryan George and Carlyn Yon.
Harts found their way back into the match
through captain Mike-e Williams. Williams
controlled a cross fired to the far post before
shooting back across goal to level up the
scores. The celebrations were muted, probably because Harts knew that the job was far
from done.
Harts enjoyed the majority of possession but
failed to carve out the same high number of
chances in this game. Jason George gave them
the lead when he ran clear and stroked the ball
into the bottom right corner. Despite Harts taking the lead and a firm hold on proceedings,

Harts 3 - 2 Fugees
Sun 8 November 2015 - Match Report
Q
uick goals, goal keeping errors, and good finishing were all a part
of the drama as Harts pulled of a narrow 3-2 victory over Fugees in
the first knockout match of the campaign.
Harts had wrapped up the league in their match against Raiders the
week before and although still riding high on the wave of glory they
needed to dig deep to overcome a Fugees team who were determined
to salvage their season after their recent run of poor results.
The match started at a lightning pace and it was Fugees who started
the brightest. Within seconds Kyle Shoesmith had fired his side
ahead – scoring with a shot from 20 yards that took a bubble and
somehow avoided the outstretched hand of Andrew Yon in goal for
Harts; bumping of his face and into the goal.
The boys in blue have gone behind in each of their last four matches
so it wasn’t exactly unfamiliar territory. However with both teams
hailing from the St Pauls district and this being a knockout match
there was a lot at stake; bragging rights as well as a chance at a
double winning season up for grabs.
Harts gradually settled into the game
