Abstract
In this report Dutch St. Martin rolls out the tourist welcome mat only two months after the devastation of hurricane Luis. The Lt. Governor of St. Martin, Dennis Richardson comments on the emphasis of getting the tourism stock back on track and how this affected the rebuilding of locals' homes. In Guyana, the hearing into the cyanide wastes spill of the Omai Gold Mines focused on the absence of environmental protection legislation in the country. Antigua and Barbuda's newest political party holds a series of meetings across the country as Hugh Marshall comments on how he is going to publicize the third party locally. Meanwhile in Dominica, Charles Severin, Opposition candidate for Roseau Central will sit in Parliament for the first time since being elected. Mr. Severin won an appeal against a previous High Court ruling which had disqualified him from taking up the seat. In Britain, black and Asian nurses find that they are remaining at the bottom of the pile in the health system.
