The parade will see a number of communities in St Catherine mounting floats to showcase their cultural and economic importance to the parish and the island.

The floats will parade through the various towns and culminate in a grand celebration at the G.C. Foster College in Spanish Town.

Spanish Town is one of the oldest cities in the Western Hemisphere. It was the seat of government for 333 years.

Turks and Caicos in hot water

PROVIDENCIALES (CMC):

Ex-Premier Michael Misick and four of his former ministers in the Turks and Caicos Islands could be subject to a criminal investigation arising from the recent corruption probe ordered by the British government.

The action comes at the recommendation of the sole commissioner Sir Robin Auld, who has handed in his final report to the United Kingdom authorities, concluding that there was "information in abundance pointing to a high probability of systemic corruption and/or serious dishonesty".

Health stations to be placed at local events

The Ministry of Health (MOH) will be ensuring that health stations are placed at all local events.

This is in an effort to alert persons about influenza A (H1N1) and how to protect themselves and others against contracting the virus.

There are 32 confirmed cases of the virus in the island, with no deaths.

For more information on influenza A, members of the public may call the ministry's toll-free line at 1-888-663-5683 seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Clarke's appeal adjourned to Monday

The hearing into the retirement dispute involving former Scotiabank boss William 'Bill' Clarke is to resume on Monday.

The court had an early adjournment yesterday morning after presiding Judge Algernon Smith said he was tired. Justices Howard Cooke and Hazel Harris are also hearing the appeal.

At the next sitting, Scotiabank's lawyers are expected to make submissions in relation to Clarke's objections to a letter from the bank.

In the letter, the bank stated that, as of July 1, security personnel assigned to Clarke and the company house he now occupies should have been withdrawn.

However, the bank's lawyers have given a commitment that the security personnel will not be removed until the issue is heard in court.
