In order to raise funds to promote computer literacy
and in response to requests from offices on the island, the
Anguilla Library Computer Club
presented an advanced professional course on MS Word, March 23-29, 1999.
The instructor was Rose Anne Leonard (email [email protected] )
of Canada.
Rose Anne is a professional instructor and her visit
to Anguilla was arranged by snowbird Dave Thomas. The lab
facilities and the actual class were
arranged by Griffin Webster
of Beachtech Center on Shoal Bay.
MIS Manager at Anglec Johanne Webster and Computer Club President
LeRoy Hill were lab instructors.
Each student received a copy of the class textbook,
Microsoft Word 98 - Comprehensive - Enhanced,
a complete tutorial from www.course.com
The students used the club's new Win95 systems for the course:

Glen Richardson of Island Harbour has created a luxurious new dive boat for
Shoal Bay Scuba.
With her name still to be decided, the
36-foot vessel was launched on February 23, 1999 following the
blessing ceremony performed by Reverend John
Gumbs. It is anticipated that due to the wide beam this
dive boat may be able to take divers to spots that were
inaccessible before. And it is powered by two outboard Yamaha 250
engines purchased from local distributor Mithcell Hodge craft.
Dive Master Michel Faligan and Shoal Bay Scuba owners David Stephan, Ray Knudsen and Leander "Bull" Bryan are also hoping to promote Anguilla internationally as a premiere professional boat building center through the use of a specially made video that chronicles and documents the building of their new boat.

Anguilla has budget accommodations as well as luxury ones.
Casa Nadine is probably the least expensive.
It is recommended as a good choice for those who would be seeking a youth hostel in these postings to Julian Niles' Tête-à-Tête Forum for Anguilla.
Casa Nadine telephone: 1-264-497-2358
Below is a review of Casa Nadine from a visiting teacher with a backpack:
Met you at the Computer Club last Thursday.
It was nice to see the good things
going on (and the enthusiastic kids!)
O.K as promised a quick review about Casa Nadine in The Valley
A nice place, especially if you consider the cost (20 dollar a person).
The owner is very friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and have a fan
and shower / toilet. The only negative is the kitchen, that could use
a thorough clean up, but for making a breakfast it is still o.k.
(there is a fridge).
Anyway, all the best with your good work over there, if you ever want to
let your kids do / exchange e-mails, I have loads of students willing to
do so, just drop me e-mail by then.
Thanks,
Marcel Ideler

If you are looking for some Northern Italian pasta for dinner,
then consider Luciano in Long Bay village (about a block
east of Malliouhana Hotel). Your hosts Luciano Romani (an Italian from the Italian Riviera) and his wife Sophie Jaquin (French, from Paris) will make you welcome, as evidence this recent email message below:
Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 14:23:58 -0000
We went to Shoal Bay - a little too busy for
us but very pretty. We went
there from Billy's
where we had a good (and very cheap) breakfast. Whilst
at Billy's we met a young lady called Desiree who braids hair at Shoal
Bay. We gave her a lift to Shoal Bay - she should give up hair braiding and
become a singer - very talented.
You should try Luciano's. My friend had the pesto pasta, which was very
good indeed and I had the mushroom pasta (the mushrooms were wonderful -
very French). The tricolore salad is the best on the island (that we could
find). However, if you are not a big fan of tiramisu (I am not) then pass
on the desserts and head straight for the cappuccino.
If you do go there say hello to the Italian owner for us - he should
remember two London people who came several times and promised to look up
his good friend, the owner of the best Italian restaurant in London,
Zafferano's.

Telephone: 1-264-497-6700 for reservations. They only accept American Express. Open for lunch. Closed Fridays, also closes for September and October.
Directions: If you are staying in the West End, Luciano is just up the road from Malliouhana Hotel. Starting from the airport parking lot, take the only exit and turn left, then left again to drive past the airport going west. Go through the airport roundabout and follow the main road, going straight through the other roundabout at Sandy Ground. After the South Hill Plaza on the left, watch for a paved right turn to Long Bay Village (which may or may not have a traffic light). Drive through the village and watch for Luciano on the right, just before Meads Bay and the Malliouhana Hotel.
