TERRITORY FINALLY RID OF HUGO DEBT
Nov. 8, 2001 – A dozen years after Hurricane Hugo dealt the territory a devastating blow, the V.I. government is finally free of the Federal Emergency Management Agency loan made in the aftermath of the disaster.
Brian Modeste, Delegate Donna Christian Christensen's legislative director, said Thursday that President George W. Bush signed a bill into law on Monday that forgives the territory's Hurricane Hugo Community Disaster Loan.
"The governor has been working on this since he took office, so we're glad to be rid of the burden," Government House spokeswoman Rina McBrowne said.
Modeste said the territory borrowed $89.9 million, which was a quarter of the territory's operating budget for 1989. This was the maximum allowed by law.
He said that the territory received three drawdowns on the loan that totaled $50 million.
In 1997, FEMA forgave $21 million of that $50 million, leaving the territory still owing a principal of $29.1 million. Modeste said the territory made regular quarterly loan payments of $1.6 million through Jan. 16, 1999, which were applied to the annual interest of 8.25 percent that had accrued.
What Bush forgave consisted of a $29 million principal and $16 million in accrued interest, for a total of $45 million.
FEMA can cancel all or part of a Community Disaster Loan upon determining that revenues of the local government in the three fiscal years following the disaster are insufficient to meet its operating budget because of disaster-related revenue losses and unreimbursed operating expenses. Forgiving a loan requires the approval of Congress and the president.
After the federal government concluded that the V.I. government would never be in a position to repay what it owed. it declared the loan "non-performing." This opened the door for a complicated process in which the federal Office of Management and Budget calculated that the remaining $45 million on the loan was worth only $2 million. Congress then appropriated $2 million to FEMA to cancel the loan.
The territorial government still owes FEMA money for a Community Disaster Loan made after Hurricane Marilyn struck in 1995. That debt had totaled about $200 million. The president's act reduced it to $155 million.
"Now we can continue to work on forgiveness of the Marilyn loan," Jacobs-McBrowne said.
FEMA director Joe Allbaugh stated in a federal report earlier this year that, nationwide, "our experience is that disaster loan forgiveness rates are between 60 and 70 percent."

PORTRAITS IN CHARCOAL AT REICHHOLD GALLERY
Nov. 8, 2001 – Artwork by a member of the University of the Virgin Islands family is hanging through the end of the month in the Reichhold Center Gallery on the UVI St. Thomas campus.
"Images in Charcoal" is the title of the exhibition, which showcases the artistic talent of Hilda Lewis Joyce, associate professor and director of academic administration at the university.
The collection of portraits "exude personality with a full range of graphite texture," a release states.
Joyce's interest in art dates back to her school days at the Charlotte Amalie High School Annex in what is now the Legislature Building. She is a graduate of Morgan State University and Michigan State University and has been an associate professor and administrator at UVI for the last 30 years.
Hurricane Marilyn destroyed much of her personal art, including a mural of Christ on a wall in her home and many of her early paintings and drawings. A couple of years ago, inspired by a photograph of a recent UVI graduate, she took up charcoal pencils to create a Madonna-like image. Exploring books and Internet resources on the techniques and materials of working in the charcoal and graphite mediums, she set about on a course of self-instruction.
She was guided by the counsel of an artist friend: "You don't need to take art classes. Just practice, practice and keep practicing."
The Reichhold exhibition is the result of two years of practicing. Her most recent portrait is of UVI President Orville Kean.
"I have discovered a love and, though self-teaching, a talent for the capturing of faces — faces especially of my people of color," Joyce says. Her faces, she adds, reflect "a history transparent in a gaze, in expressions that cry out for equality, and in a medium that lends itself incredibly well to the wonderful shades of blackness."
Joyce is a Premier Portfolio Artist, represented by absolutearts.com. Her work, under the title "Framed Faces," can be found on the absolutearts web site.
The show is open to public viewing during Reichhold Center office hours — Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. — and during intermission on evenings when there are performances on the Reichhold stage. For further information, call 693-1550.

VIRGIN ISLANDS ATTACK 'VICTIMS' MERIT ATTENTION
Dear Source,
I have recently read Frank Schneiger's Op-ed piece "Make year of few tourists a year of change" and the reply of Eric K. Roeske of Watertown, Wis., "More federal money won't solve V.I. problems". I feel compelled to add my views on the subject of the relationship between the federal government and its territory, the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Mr. Schneiger's position is that the federal government should provide grants and low-interest loans to its territory as a Band-Aid effort to lessen the economic loss that the territory has experienced and will experience as a result of the attacks of Sept. 11.
Mr. Roeske's position is that the territory should take the opportunity to find an antidote to cure its ills on its own. He writes, "Since when has the federal government been in the business of financing companies that are nonessential to the everyday life of its citizens?"
The federal government has allotted millions of dollars to assist the "victims" of the Sept. 11 attacks. The private sector has displayed an outpouring of benevolence that will be equal to, albeit, surpass the commitment of the federal government.
These funds are intended to give some sort of economic relief to the said "victims." These funds will go directly to the businesses that were housed within the World Trade Center towers, as well as the pizza shops, sandwich shops, hot dog carts, boutiques, other sundry businesses and individual entrepreneurs located within and without the immediate area that were affected by this unprecedented attack on America.
It is contemplated that "victims" will also include the families of the heroes who selflessly gave their lives in the call of duty, as well as the families of the more than four thousand individuals who perished as a result of this cowardly act. The airlines were the recipients of immediate federal funds to make payroll and stave off bankruptcy.
Recently, I have read that a congressman has proposed a bill that would allow tax credits for vacation travel within the 50 states of the Union. It is an obvious attempt to jumpstart the tourism industry. Bill proponents claim that the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico were inadvertently omitted from the bill and promise to include them by way of amendment or by adding "territories" to its language. No such benefit would be rewarded for travel to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands without the change.
At any rate, it is clear that the citizens of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are afterthoughts. It is apparent that the term "victims" as defined by the Congress and contemplated by Mr. Roeske does not extend to Americans impacted by the attack wherever they might be found. Mr. Roeske implies that the businesses of the territory are not essential to the everyday life of American citizens. The implication is that a hotdog stand is.
Since when are the businesses of this territory not essential to the everyday life of the citizens of the United States? Ask the cruise ship companies. For that matter, since when has tourism not been included in the calculation of the gross national product of the United States? The president has declared war. Now is the time for the representatives of the citizens of the United States in the Congress and the individual chosen by the citizens to head the executive branch of the federal government to recognize their obligation to "all citizens" of the United States.
"All citizens" should include those citizens who voted them into office, as well as those who did not vote for them and those who could not vote for them or for the chief executive. This will happen only when my fellow Americans on the mainland stop looking upon Americans residing in the territories as parasites draining the nation's lifeblood and include its territories within the meaning of "From Sea to Shining Sea."

'FRIDAY NIGHT ALTERNATIVE' MOOD IS MELLOW
Nov. 8, 2001 – Who'll be playing or singing along with Sally on Friday night?
At "Friday Night Alternative," you hardly ever know, but you can be fairly sure some of the island's finer jazz, blues, reggae, folk and other musical artists will show up to share the microphone with "Mustang" Sally Smith, the house keyboard and vocals artist at The Color of Joy in Red Hook.
The "Alternative" action takes place each Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. just outside the rear double doors of the art gallery and boutique, on the Marlin Deck overlooking American Yacht Harbor. Along with the music, the public is invited to enjoy complimentary wine, cheese, crackers, super sunsets and magnificent moonrises.
"What more could you want on a mellow evening in Paradise?" owner Corinne Van Rensselaer says.
Strolling through the gallery and shop, visitors also will find the one-of-a-kind moko jumbie soft sculpture created by local folk artist Jane Clemo, who specializes in the genre. This one she has dubbed a "relief" figure, and it's got a distinctly patriotic look about it — along with a special purpose.
The sculpture will be raffled off at the end of November, with all proceeds going to a national relief organization to aid families of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks. Raffle tickets are $2 for one or $5 for three, and they're being sold through Thanksgiving at The Color of Joy. The raffle drawing will be at the Nov. 30 "Friday Night Alternative."
Also coming up at the end of this month: "Friday Night Alternative" T-shirts. "We thought this would be a good way to keep our talented artists and their fans on deck," Van Rensselaer said.
For further information, call 775-4020 or e-mail to The Color of Joy.
