 Welcome to the NTN Nightly. I'm Nisha Charles. This edition stopped stories. Plans shift into high gear as St. Lucia prepares to host the inaugural Royal Saint Lucia Terps Clubs, Peter Cump. A community-based project reaps success in the Castries Basin. The Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations hosts the 2019 annual career and the College Fair, all that was the NTN Nouvelle Arquéon. Preparations are in full swing as St. Lucia prepares to host the Royal Saint Lucia Terps Clubs, Peter Cump on December 13, National Day. Already the venues and amenities are being prepared to ensure that the event is a success. Janelle Norville has more. Five thoroughbred races are expected to be held on the 15th December 2019, when Saint Lucia makes its official debut into the equine industry. The Peter Cump will be the highlight of the event. However, for other races will be held including the View Fort Dash, the Helen of the West Indies Race, the National Day Sprint and the Winston Trim Memorial Trophy. The Winston Trim Memorial Trophy has a cash prize of US$40,000 and will be held in honor of the late Winston Trim, owner of Trim's riding stables. Director of the Royal Saint Lucia Turf Club and Vice President of the Desert Star Holdings, Eden Harrington, indicated that immense efforts will be put into not only marketing the races, but growing them on an international level. The CCF, or Caribbean Equine Cultural Festival, will be the region's first luxury, lifestyle and racing event. It will commence on Thursday 12 December with an investment event and a welcome party, before moving to its primary focus on National Day with the CCF Race Day. Spearheading this occasion will be the USD$150,000 Pitons Cup, a feature race that will be the richest run in the Caribbean this year. The appeal of the Pitons Cup, ladies and gentlemen, is generating immense and favorable publicity for St Lucia and for St Lucia since it was announced just over a month ago. Additionally, it has secured the participation of some of international horse racing's leading lights. The director congratulated the individuals who recently graduated from the internationally accredited Groom Elite Program Inc. out of Stanford, Kentucky. Harrington explained that the program will be expanded so as to offer training in a variety of areas. Ladies and gentlemen, the Winston-Trim training program is an ongoing initiative. It is not a one-off exercise. It is named after the late Winston-Trim, who was instrumental in bringing horse racing to this nation. This initiative has been approved by the government of St Lucia and it is supported by the Royal St Lucia Turf Club, by its affiliate, the China Horse Club and by international business partners. For local corporations individuals who wish to lend their support, please note that 100% of financial contributions that are gifted to this initiative are directed to this initiative and to programs here. There will be a variety of different programs run to equip St Lucia's with skill sets to fill new jobs that will be created by this industry. We welcome your support. Highlighting the many developmental projects taking place in the south of the island, Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Shastner explained that the necessary infrastructure has been upgraded to accommodate the growth. So if you're going into the airport, you'll see there's a building being built on the left hand side. That's a free base operation that is for private planes. And we've been working in sync, sorry with them, to have it open for December 13th. So a lot of the people who are going to be coming in are going to be flying in their own private jets. And then last but not least, I hope that I didn't have to say that, but certainly with what's taking place at St Jude's and also now taking place at Hewner International Airport. These are substantial infrastructural upgrades to view for. So the expansion that we're seeing, the capacity absolutely will be here to be able to absorb that. The grace intake, I think that the bids have gone out. We're waiting and going out. So we're going to be producing 4.5 million gallons of water a day. We've expanded the water capacity and facilities in the Miku area. So again, even prior to these investments coming in, the infrastructure is really ahead of the game. All St. Lucians are urged to take advantage of the available opportunities with the introduction of the new sector. For the Government Information Service, I am Genelle Norville. A community-based project is reaping success in the Casteries Basin. The Synergy Project saw the successful completion of its technical careers programme. The programme was facilitated by the Department of Continuing Studies at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. The Synergy Project was officially launched in June of 2018 with the aim of providing the people of Casteries Central with self-development and training programmes and assistance with finding suitable and rewarding employment. With the help of the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, the project has been able to develop a technical careers programme where participants can learn auto-mechanics, plumbing and general maintenance. According to the Vice-Principal of the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, the programme will improve their opportunity for employment. Entry into the programme required basic literacy and literacy competency. However, there was no prior experience or qualification needed in the specialisation chosen. The TCP content sought to strengthen basic literacy and literacy contents by providing more exposure to foundational mathematics and English and communication skills and to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills in their children's areas of specialisation. The programme was expected to run for a period of 14 weeks, classes being conducted on Saturdays. A TCP day would range from 9am to 4pm, depending on the specialisation being followed. Conceptualised by the Parliamentary Representative for Casteries Central, Hon. Sarah Floodbaubre, the Synergy Project is tailored to the needs of the constituents. Hon. Floodbaubre is particularly grateful for the support from the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. The concept provides 15 programmes and Trentek was not first one to consider that. But it seems to have been the one that is most advanced to put it that way and it has to be because of the support of the Casteries Central College. And I have to say to you, Mrs. St. Clair and Mr. MacCombie, that Sir Arthur Lewis has exemplified, by the way, to welcome our idea is to come here to speak. You are truly coming to this point because the moment he explained what we wanted to do was lift Arthur's weight chain for us to do this and it was like a hand in the glove. The project manager, Nadine Kodra-Shabaptiste, was indeed proud of the bold steps that the graduates made towards their personal development. Today is a milestone. It tells you how far you've come, keep learning, keep trying, keep accomplishing and keep venturing on through your journey. It's from Elephant or the Rudon Hall. But that is really a powerful saying and as I said to you guys, this is just the beginning. It is a month of a long-life journey. It is a point to look back and it's also a point to look forward. So as you commemorate this day as a very important day in your lives, know that your competent care is just a testament to the great things that you can accomplish. Andrew's Central Main was one of the graduates of the course. He shared his emotional story. I've been a drug addict for 16 years, smoke cocaine and touching people things everywhere. Today I'm proud of my own. The Honourable Minister would like this opportunity to be here. I'm proud of Mr. Richard. I'd like to thank Mr. Bolo and my classmate. The program ran for 14 weeks. As the Eastern Caribbean Collective Organization for Music Rights Echo gets set to introduce what is being referred to as related rights, the organization is taking steps to ensure that individuals appreciate its introduction. The organization has organized a week of activities including a panel discussion which was held on Tuesday October 22. The discussion was held under the theme introducing related rights to St. Lucia and the rest of the OECS region, the benefits, the obstacles, our readiness. Intellectual Property Lawyer Thaddeus Antoine explains what exactly related rights entails. Copyright really is an exclusive right granted to creators of work. The ability to reproduce those works. So you create a work and you granted in law the right to license, reproduce the work for fee or what so as we call royalty. It could be a license fee itself. The related rights don't quite fall under, it's a type of copyright, but it's not quite copyright. So it extends the regime of copyright. So you have related rights, you offer those rights. So the authors are the actual creators but they are the rights that stem from it as well which we somewhat call related rights. So for example, Kayo being a performer, Kayo may not have written the song. So the song is written by Ms. Francis as the author. So she has author rights. But he's a performer of the song and he performs the song in such a way which people quite like, his antics on the stage. Chairperson of Echo St. Kitts and Nevis, Van Alder in Francis, says that the organization decides to focus on related rights. The opportunities for collaboration will be even greater. Right now Echo is only administering to authors, which is the composers and songwriters, right? So it actually creates an avenue, it creates an opportunity for more individuals to make more. The persons on percussions, you know, everyone involved in the process. Exactly. I would say it promotes networking, promotes having better relationships with the persons who are actually involved in creating that work. Senutia's youth are now better prepared at making a more informed decision about their career choices. This as the Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations hosts the 2019 Career and College Fair. The annual Career and College Fair provides parents and students with the opportunity to interact with representatives of various local, regional and international institutions, as well as obtain information that will assist them in making informed decisions about furthering their education. Present at this year's event was the Minister for Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, Honourable Dr. Gail Rigbert, who congratulated the students for making the decision to be a part of the Fair. Moreover, she impressed on those present to remember that with the advent of regional integration, there is a greater need for St. Lucia to gain an even stellar education. Any job opportunity available in St. Lucia is not limited to only the person to hold a St. Lucia birth certificate or passport. It also means when benevolent governments, development agencies and international banks undertake projects in St. Lucia that the job opportunities that arise from these projects are not limited to only persons who hold a St. Lucia birth certificate or passport, which therefore translates into that you are being pitted against other international citizens and therefore you ought to receive an education that forever places you head and shoulders above any other global citizen or at least you can square shoulders with them. The career and college fair also creates an awareness of the various career paths and the skills and qualifications needed for certain professions. Chief Education Officer Fiona Meyer reminded the students to have an open mind as career paths can change. All of the statistics is pointing to the fact that the professions are going to change. You may start off wanting to do training, developing skills in a particular area, but as things happen, you have to keep upskilling yourself. You have to keep an open mind and saying okay, you may be a physician but you need customer service. Who wants to come to a doctor who can't speak to his or her patient and have good bedside manner? So in as much as you get a medical degree, you may have to go back and do a business degree. The annual career and college fair was held from October 23 to 24, 2019.

This, as more young people are being taught about business ownership for the Caricum Secretariat's Creativity for Employment and Business Opportunity SIBO program, more from Toussaint in English Francis. Caricum Secretariat's 10 EDF Creativity for Employment and Business Opportunity SIBO program has been moving apace. So far, youth in Haiti, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, as well as Belize, have participated in entrepreneurship workshops. The workshop targets young people from all walks of life as a means of countering youth unemployment, mitigating drug abuse, crime and violence and fostering economic resilience. This phase of implementation also focuses on Caricum Nationals who have faced involuntary separation from other countries. The emphasis on this particular demography is linked to Caricum Regional Crime Prevention Strategy, which proposes actions to address the determinants of crime, including reintegration of deportees. Deputy Program Manager for Gender and Development at the Caricum Secretariat, Ms. Anne-Marie Williams, spoke about the significance of the workshop at the opening of the session in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Monday the 14th of October. The next round of the workshops will be held in Barberas, Belize and again in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. And stay with the NTN Nightly.
