June 9, 2003 – With hurricane season under way, Lt. Gov. Vargrave Richards urged residents on Monday to be sure they have adequate insurance protection against windstorm and flood damage.
Such coverage is an indispensable part of hurricane preparations, Richards said in a release announcing that the Banking and Insurance Division plans to hold "several community forums" this summer to address residents' insurance concerns — at dates to be announced.
Meahnwhile, copies of a consumer guide to buying homeowners insurance are available now at the division offices in Nisky Center on St. Thomas and at Nos. 7 and 8 King Street in Christiansted on St. Croix, the release stated.
The homeowners insurance guide covers such topics as filing a claim, smart shopping for coverage, getting price quotations, making sure an agent is licensed, determining how much insurance is needed, and how costs are determined. For more information, call Elmo D. Roebuck Jr. on St. Thomas at 774-7166 or Glendora Matthews on St. Croix at 773-6459.
Richards' announcement came on the heels of an update by hurricane forecaster William Gray of Colorado State University on what to expect this Atlantic hurricane season.
On May 30, Gray upped his forecast to 14 named storms from the 12 he had predicted in April. "The dissipation of El Niño and the anticipated formation of a La Niña in the Pacific are factors leading to the increase," he said in a release.
Gray expects eight of the 14 to become hurricanes. He said three of them are likely to become "intense hurricanes" with sustained winds of 111 mph or more — the same number that he cited in his April report. The long-term average stands at 9.6 named tropical storms, 5.9 hurricanes and 2.3 intense hurricanes. Last year saw 12 named storms but only four hurricanes, two of them intense. None hit the Virgin Islands.
Insurance isn't the only thing that should be on residents' hurricane-season shopping lists. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to buy extra batteries, canned food and bottled water. And if you're a boater, it's also the time to decide where you want to take your vessel in the event that a hurricane approaches.
On St. John, Mary's Creek and Hurricane Hole, both in V.I. National Park waters, always see lots of boaters securing their craft. The National Park Service has plans for a hurricane mooring system, but it won't be in place until the 2004 season. Therefore, boaters must still use anchors now to secure their boats.
Beulah Dalmida-Smith, park management assistant, said boaters may not tie up to the mangroves because the lines damage them. Mangroves are an endangered species and are protected by federal and local law from activities that will harm them, she pointed out.
If boaters intend to install sand screws for moorings in park waters so they can better secure their boats, they must get permission from park authorities first. The same is true if anyone wishes to leave an anchor or other marking device to reserve a spot.
Vessels may be moved to Hurricane Hole and Mary's Creek no more than 96 hours before forecasters predict a storm will hit. And they must leave within 72 hours of a storm's passage. Authorities urge boaters not to remain aboard during a storm.
No one could be reached at the Planning and Natural Resources Department for an updated list of safe havens on St. Thomas and St. Croix. But V.I. Territorial Emergency Management Agency personnel confirmed that Benner Bay Lagoon, Mandahl Pond and Flamingo Bay are designated safe havens on St. Thomas, and that Krause Lagoon and Salt River are so on St. Croix.
As with national park waters, boaters are not allowed into these safe havens until 96 hours before a storm's expected landfall. Further details on rules and regulations were not available.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through Nov. 30; the highest likelihood of storms is in September.

BASTILLE DAY KINGFISH TOURNEY IS JULY 13
June 9, 2003 – The prizes are piling up for the Northside Sportfishing Club's annual Bastille Day Kingfish Tournament, set for July 13, and hundreds of anglers are expected to vie for them.
As usual, the competition — which perennially draws the most anglers of any in-shore fishing event in the area, will be based at Hull Bay Hideaway. "We’re expecting more than 300 anglers this year and are grateful for the positive response we’ve received from all our sponsors," tournament director Monica Lester said.
Among the prizes to be awarded:
Largest kingfish — $2,000 cash from sponsor N.E.M. (West Indies) Insurance Ltd., managed locally by Red Hook Agencies.
Second-largest kingfish — $750 cash from sponsor FedEx.
Coors Light and Snapple, distributed by Bellows International, are back as major product sponsors, having donated more than $75,000 in product and related items over the last 12 years, according to publicity.
Another perennial sponsor, Offshore Marine Services, will be offering one lucky winner a choice of three prizes: a 12-foot Caribe inflatable dinghy with a 15hp Yamaha outboard, a four-stroke 50hp Yamaha Outboard, or a two-stroke 90hp Yamaha Outboard.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit Joseph Sibilly School, St. Thomas Rescue, the local chapter of the American Red Cross, the Dorothea Tot Lot and college scholarships for students of French descent.
There also will be prizes for best boat, for best male and female anglers in adult and junior categories; and for whoever reels in the largest barracuda, bonito, dolphin, jack, mackerel and tuna. More than a dozen V.I. hotels have supported the event by offering overnight getaways, and numerous restaurants have contributed dinner prizes.As usual, it will be lines in the water from 5:30 a.m. to noon, then party-time for the anglers while the weighmaster and judges go to work. For the public, there will be live music with food and drink available all afternoon. And for everyone, the finale will be the awards ceremony that starts at 8 p.m.
Entry fees are $35 for adults and $20 for juniors (ages 8 to 16). The registration deadline and captains' meeting is at 7:30 p.m. July 11 at Hull Bay Hideaway. Entry forms are available now from Bryan’s Electrical Contracting and from Neptune Fishing Supplies. For more information, call 774-5206.

MAJORITY MEETING WITH TURNBULL DELAYS SENATE
June 9, 2003 – A full Senate session scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday was delayed twice and then postponed altogether as members of the Democratic majority met with Gov. Charles W. Turnbull in a closed-door session at Palms Court Harborview Hotel.
At first, word was that the Legislature would convene at 1 p.m. Then, around noon, that was changed to 2:30 p.m. About 2 p.m. came an announcement that the session had been postponed to 10 a.m. Tuesday. On Tuesday, however, broadcast reports said the Senate session would be further delayed until June 17.
According to a legislative source, the governor called the meeting. A Government House spokesperson professed not to know who had done so.
Tempers have been running high between the Democratic administration and the Democratic-majority Legislature since Turnbull sent his proposed legislation to address the territory's fiscal ills to the Senate in May. His proposals to raise existing business taxes and add new ones, borrow another $235 million, and spend it on projects including an $80 million hotel on St. Croix met with stiff resistence in the Senate. All 15 lawmakers told him they will not take up the borrowing bill unless he rescinds more than $7 million a year in hefty raises he granted exempt government workers by executive order last year.
A press conference held by the governor on Friday, in which he laid responsibility for curing the fiscal morass squarely in the Senate's lap, and his letter to the Senate in response to the pay-raise ultimatum, also on Friday, did nothing to calm the waters. (See "Turnbull defends his fiscal plan, raps Senate" and "Fiscal crisis is governor's fault, Berry charges".)
Members of the Senate minority said they had no idea what was going on Monday morning, as they sat in their offices with no invitation to join their colleagues at the meeting with the governor.
"I don't know what it's about," Sen. Celestino A. White Sr. said. "I feel slighted. I have no idea why we weren't notified." He said he would now give short shrift to the newly unified Senate, which two majority members, Senate Vice President Lorraine Berry and Finance Committee chair Adlah "Foncie Donastorg, have alluded to in recent days. See "Finance axes gross receipts tax increase".)
Minority Caucus leader Raymond "Usie" Richards said that as of 10:30 a.m. Monday he had received no invitation to the meeting. About the same time, a Government House spokesperson said the governor had gone to the hotel for the meeting, while professing not to know who had called the gathering.
No other Senate activity had been scheduled for Tuesday.
