Nov. 9, 2001 – Addelita Cancryn Junior High School students were evacuated from the school for the second time in four hours Friday, and for the fourth time in three days.
Shortly after noon, the students were once again marching down the road from the school to the Frenchtown Joseph Aubain ballpark.
"Ridiculous," has been the word of the day, and it continued. "I just don't know," said assistant principal Selassie Francis, who was herding the students down the road for the second time Friday, trying to keep them out of the way of passing traffic. One student in crutches held onto the arm of his teacher as he trekked down the street in the noon sun.
School was over for Friday."We're sending them back to the school to get their things and get out as quickly as possible," Francis said. "The call came in a little after noon this time."
A teacher accompanying the students said, "I'm beginning to wonder when it will end. Look at the kids – this is awful."
A return call from Deputy Chief Theodore Carty had not been received at publication time.

Nov. 9, 2001 – Addelita Cancryn Junior High School students were evacuated from the school for the second time in four hours Friday, and for the fourth time in three days.
Shortly after noon, half of the students were once again marching down the road from the school to Joseph Aubain Ball Park in Frenchtown, while the other half headed for the school athletic field to the west.
"Ridiculous," had been the word of the day during the first evacuation, and it was being heard again. "I just don't know," said assistant principal Selassie Francis, who was herding the students away from their school for the second time Friday, trying to keep them out of the way of passing traffic. One student on crutches held onto the arm of his teacher as he trekked down the street in the noon sun.

Nov. 9, 2001 – Charlotte Amalie High School senior Monique Toussaint has won an award for "achievement in writing" from the National Council of Teachers of English.
Monique has "determination and extremely strong family support," said her guidance counselor, Shirley Romney. So it was fitting that, since Monique is off-island wearing her hat as treasurer of the local Future Business Leaders of America, her mother spoke about her activities.
Monique's parents, Michael and Jennifer Toussaint, are active parent-teacher association participants, Michael as treasurer of the school-wide PTA and Jennifer as president of the senior class PTA.
Monique's activities include playing in the Rising Stars Steel Orchestra, official scoring for volleyball games, belonging to FBLA, attending the Saturday science academies at the University of the Virgin Islands, and assisting the 5th grade Sunday School teacher at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, her mother said in a telephone interview.
Monique recently won a national award from the U.S. Achievement Academy in the field of business education. She will be attending college, and right now has her sights set on becoming an industrial engineer.
These "achievement in writing" awards are given to fewer than 900 students throughout the United States, and this year two awards have been given in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The other award went to Good Hope School senior Meryl Brady. (See article in The St. Croix Source at menu choice Schools:.)

Nov. 9, 2001 – Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation University of the Virgin Islands will have an additional $294,495 with which to offer scholarships to students entering the fields of computer science, engineering and mathematics.
The grant, which was awarded to UVI's Division of Science and Mathematics, covers a period of four years and funds the university's Emerging Mathematics, Engineering and Technology
Scholars program, which aims to increase the number of graduates in mathematics, computer science and engineering.
The Emerging Scholars program will be an integral part of the university's plans for large technology based programs over the next five years, according to a release announcing the grant.
The scholarship program will provide up to $3,150 per student per year, for 30 students the first year, 25 the second year, 20 the third year and 10 students during the fourth year. Students will be chosen based on merit and need.
Robert Stolz, chair of the Division of Science and Mathematics on the St. Thomas campus, is principal investigator for the grant. Co-principal investigators are Camille McKayle and Marc Boumedine.
"The division is excited about this opportunity," Stolz said. "It provides another way of increasing the number of science and mathematics majors through recruitment and retention." It will complement other existing programs, which also provide financial support for UVI students, he said, adding, "It brings the university national recognition for the quality of our students, programs and faculty."
UVI students chosen to receive Emerging Mathematics, Engineering and Technology scholarships will benefit from ongoing mentoring activities conducted by faculty as well as by
support from UVI's other mathematics and science scholars in the National Science Foundation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program, the Minority Access To Research Careers program and the NASA scholars in the Emerging Caribbean Scientists scholars programs.

Nov. 9, 2001 – Sen. Adelbert Bryan, never known for hiding his light under a bushel or anything else, officially resigned as vice president of the 24th Legislature Thursday night by means of a resolution removing him from the post. But he kept his committee chairmanship — and he won funding for a new commission which he will head.
He gained center stage at a Sept. 25 meeting when he announced he was resigning both the vice presidency and his chairmanship of the Economic Development, Agriculture and Consumer Protection Committee. He angrily denounced his colleagues at the time when they didn't support his legislation creating an economic recovery commission which he would head. He said then the Senate was "rife with hypocrisy," adding, "They want a political harlot and robot."
In a strange sequence of events Thursday evening, Bryan managed to get that very legislation passed by those very colleagues.
And his resolution mentioned nothing about resigning as chair of the committee. Doing so would have meant losing control of a good chunk of money — the committee's budget allotment. (That figure and those for all other committees chaired by members of the majority have yet to be made public, but senators have made reference to $200,000 to $300,000.)
Now, Bryan has retained the chairmanship, and the legislation has given him $650,000 to fund his Sustainable Economic Development Commission, which he will head. The rest of its membership is to comprise one Senate colleague of his choosing, the chair of the Economic Development Authority and private-sector individuals who participated in Bryan's 2001 Economic Development Summit in July.
The commission is to create a Virgin Islands Capital Market to outline "the ABC's for bringing a halt to the financial hemorrhaging in the V.I," Bryan said in September.
Bryan's resolution resigning the vice presidency was approved by the full Senate with only Sen. Norma Pickard-Samuel dissenting. Sen. Roosevelt David in Wednesday's session had asked the status of Bryan's earlier dual resignations. He said he didn't think the Senate should "hold the senator hostage" to the positions. David received no reply to his inquiry.
"I have particular convictions and feelings," Bryan said. "I don't feel like I'm being supported by this majority. I must be at peace with myself. That is the most important thing. I owe no apology for my actions tonight. Smiling faces lie and don't tell the truth."
Bryan stepped down from the vice president's chair after his announcement. He had occupied the chair several times since Sept. 25 and has presided at committee meetings.
While briefly occupying Senate President Almando "Rocky" Liburd's chair in Liburd's absence from the floor Thursday, Bryan ruled that an amendment proposed by Sen. David Jones was not germane and couldn't be heard. Jones was astonished, as Liburd had been allowing a host of non-germane amendments. Jones challenged Bryan and won. Shortly after that, Bryan introduced his resignation resolution.
Liburd handled the resolution solemnly, saying: "This resolution was brought by Senator Bryan. He has indicated his conviction. If he doesn't want to serve, he does not want to serve. We must move on from here." Liburd then appointed Sen. Donald "Ducks" Cole to serve temporarily as vice president.
Sen. Adlah "Foncie" Donastorg said he would support Bryan's resolution, and raise it one. He said he wanted to offer an amendment to remove Bryan from his chairmanship and make his pay the same as that of the lowest-paid non-majority senator. Liburd wouldn't allow the amendment to be offered.

In a strange sequence of events Thursday evening, Bryan managed to get that very legislation passed by the same colleagues who hadn't supported it before.

Bryan now has retained the chairmanship, and the legislation gives him $650,000 with which to fund his Sustainable Economic Development Commission, which he will head. It comprises one other colleague of his choosing, the chairperson of the Economic Development Authority and two individuals from the private sector who participated in Bryan's 2001 Economic Development Summit in July this year.

Nov. 9, 2001 – Half of Addelita Cancryn Junior High School's one thousand students were marching down the road to Joseph Aubain Ball Park once again around 8:25 a.m. Friday, as the school was emptied with its third telephoned bomb threat in four days.
The other students again congregated in the school's athletic field, west of the classroom complex.
The threat again affected not only the junior high school but also the nearby Headstart school. Again, the Headstart children were harbored at the Frenchtown Community Center, along with the Cancryn disabled and asthmatic students.
After three days, the procedure has become routine for Cancryn Principal Yvonne Pilgrim — a routine she could live without. "It's ridiculous. At least the bomb squad's response time is getting better, "she remarked without enthusiasm.
Told that a police officer on a radio show earlier Friday morning had said authorities "had some leads," Pilgrim responded, "We don't need leads. We need to be aggressive and get them. It's like a game — catch me if you can."
Pilgrim, on the third day of her ordeal, did not let her anger or frustration show. "You have to be calm and exhibit confidence," she said, although clearly the situation is getting to her, the students and the police bomb squad and Fire Services personnel. One teacher, accompanying the students down the road, said, "Here we are again. We had just started marking period. How can somebody do this?"
Richard Lindo, deputy fire inspector, once again on duty at Cancryn, once again just shook his head. "It's ridiculous," he said. "My concern is the kids, taking them away from class like this."
Deputy Police Chief Theodore Carty concurred with Lindo and Pilgrim. "It's ridiculous," he said. He said he didn't know who the police officer speaking on the radio was. "I can't comment on that," he said. "All we know is it's the same person [making the telephone calls to police]. We recognize his voice."
There were unconfirmed reports circulating at the same time Friday morning that a bomb threat to Ivanna Eudora High School also had been called in. Carty said he knew nothing about that. Later Friday morning, officials at EKHS said they had not received any such threat.
Tuesday and Wednesday, the students were able to return to the school in about two hours. At 9:20 Friday morning, the young people still were in the Frenchtown ball park and the Cancryn athletic field, in keeping with the school's by now very familiar crisis management plan.
