All Saints West Member of Parliament, Hon. Anthony Smith Jr, took to social media to express his condolences to the victim's family in the wake of the murder.

Sometimes words are our best emissaries. They enable us to summon and send out to the wicket a perspective on a warrior called back to the pearly pavilion. With them, we can capture a scripture that illuminates an eternal truth such as this: We are because he was!

Today we hold aloft a pantheon of cherished ideals and can make real our innermost imaginings. This warrior erupted from the most oppressed of us and led a Joshua journey to the land of possibilities for those with a passionate desire for recognition and justice.

The transition of The Right Excellent Sir Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers, therefore, represents much more than a monumental moment in the theory and practice of cricket culture and its stage performance. The facts that speak to a powerful parade of artistic genius and theatrical excellence are themselves insufficient to illuminate an icon of hitherto unknown dimensions. Everywhere within the statistics reflecting almost unimaginable performance can be seen a scenario in which enlightenment rises from the darkest dungeons of the British Empire.

The Halo Foundation, in collaboration with Roberts & Co. Attorneys-at-Law, headed by His Excellency Sir Clare Roberts, recently made a donation of US$10,000.00 to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Her Excellency Ambassador Carmen Velásquez, Ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to Antigua and Barbuda, expressed her appreciation for this humanitarian gesture. “Venezuela has suffered a serious setback through the damage endured by the earthquake on June 24th”, she said. “To date, there are close to 5,300 deaths, nearly 17,000 people with sustained injuries and 18,000 homeless individuals.”

The Ambassador called for continued solidarity and assistance via relief supplies including medicine, food, building material and financial contributions. “We have received help from a number of countries, including our CARICOM neighbours”, she continued. “But our efforts continue — because one suffering person, is one person too much“.

Amsha Ann Eusebe, Chief Administrator, Roberts & Co Attorneys-at-Law, voiced concern at the current plight of Venezuela. “We are our brothers’ keepers”, she emphasized. There is no way we could stand idly by, while our neighbours are suffering. Antigua is hurricane, earthquake and tsunami prone. At any moment, this tragedy could move even closer to home.”

Her Excellency Lady Williams extended heartfelt support to Ambassador Velásquez. She further thanked Roberts & Co. for being exemplary corporate citizens. by @abstvradio

The Government of Guyana says a total of 41 bodies have so far been recovered following last Saturday’s tragic capsizing of a ferry off the country’s coast. A statement says 14 bodies were retrieved between 10:15am and 1pm on Tuesday. The identification of recovered bodies is currently being undertaken by family members at Suddie Hospital.

The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre has confirmed 77 people have now been rescued from the stricken MV Barima, and French and local divers are continuing underwater search and recovery operations at the wreckage site, as dozens remain missing.

The aging ferry was traveling from the capital Georgetown to Guyana’s inland Essequibo region when it overturned.

Guyana’s Prime Minister, Mark Phillips, said he was now “confident” that 179 people were aboard, following uncertainty about the numbers involved in the disaster. by @abstvradio
