Anguilla's revolutionary stalwarts are being commemorated
on the country's postage stamps:
"The Anguilla Philatelic Bureau has taken the initiative to perpetually honour the selfless service of those men and women who worked with great resolve, placing country above self in their quest for self determination.
"Heroes and Heroines of Anguilla's Revolution is intended to be a continuous theme to honour posthumously those who featured prominently in the struggle to liberate their country from servitude and poverty's ever tightening grasp.
It is an honour to salute the work and memory of four Anguillans whose loyalty to country speaks volumes as their fitting epitaphs.

Collins O. Hodge (1925-1978)
"Collins O. Hodge was one of the fearless instigators of the Anguilla revolution.
He was among a nucleus of activists who advocated the return of foreign
policeman from Anguillan soil.
"This was perhaps one of the most significant acts of the famous revoltion, for it sent a clear message to the existing powers that Anguillans were not tolerant of the status of Statehood which Britain, through Robert Bradshaw sought to impose through military might.
"This outspoken and militant leader became a member of the Anguilla council in 1967.

If you haven't heard of Anguilla's Apple Theatre Company yet, keep an eye out for them this spring and summer.
Apple Theatre is now planning their next musical theatre production
Children of Eden to be staged in The Valley this coming July.
The group is only three years old, but it is growing quickly in
both membership and strength.
In March of 1998, a group of students began to learn improvisational acting skills
through afterschool classes. They also rehearsed their first play during this time,
Anne of Green Gables which was performed in
the Ruthwill Auditorium in July 1998. The group was really inspired by the experience.
The following summer they staged their second musical; an energetic production of
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
which was extremely well-received by those who saw it.
After this show the Apple Theatre Company was formed.
![[Click to enlarge]](/ref/images/joseph04.jpg)
"Apple" was chosen as the group's identity; an acronym for "Anguillian People Performing Live Entertainment." It seemed that the company, now expanded from the 23 members to close to 40 and growing, needed to define themselves and start building a place for themselves in the local cultural community.
They are working on becoming better-known and more stable. The group has actually expanded beyond the high school now - many of the original members have now graduated but continue to be active in the group. Members range in age from 11 to 20 years old, and there's loads of room for new people.
![[Click to enlarge]](/ref/images/joseph05.jpg)
Since "Joseph" the group has met regularly and has been pursuing fundraising to help raise the next show. Children of Eden by Stephen Schwartz (composer of "Pippin," "Godspell," and the recent animated film "The Prince of Egypt") is a musical storytelling of the Biblical story of creation from the very beginning through to the story of Noah and the Ark. It's also a sincere look at the relationships between parents and children, and the beauty of generations of families knowing each other. It's a very touching show with beautiful music.
Young people in Anguilla who like to dance, sing, or act, or who want to learn more about musical theatre are encouraged to get involved in this show. Auditions will be happening in late June, so keep checking the web for more on the time and place. If you have any questions, or you'd like more information on the program or the Apple Theatre Company, email Eleanor Stacey at [email protected], or speak to people you know who are members.

Be Aware. The Primary School BE AWARE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS recently joined together for a fun outing at Forest Bay Beach.We had 150 Club members, 6 advisors and 20 parents who enjoyed the sea, the sand, the refreshments and the camaraderie. The get-together was planned for three main reasons.We wanted to show members how beautiful Anguilla�s beaches truly are and how unattractive they can become if not cared for properly. Forest Bay was a perfect example of both types. In some areas there were picnic leftovers, debris from boats, and glass bottles. In other areas the beach was sandy and inviting. We, of course, did our share by cleaning some of the area.
The second reason was to reward all of the Club members for becoming active, dues-paying members, for maintaining the premises of their respective schools and for assisting the Environmental Health Unit (EHU) in collecting glass bottles for their recycling programme.
Lastly, we wanted to make sure that the FUN in our motto �Environment is FUNdamental� was not just lip service.
Planning is already advanced for the second annual summer CAMP BE AWARE, this year adding swimming and life saving lessons. To raise money, CAMP BE AWARE is raffling two round trips from Anguilla to San Juan (donated by American Eagle). Tickets are US$5 each, available 10 March until the first day of camp, 10 July.
For any further information on the CLUBS or CAMP or to buy raffle tickets, contact Teacher Art at email [email protected], call or fax at 264-497-2369, If you would like to join any of the BE AWARE CLUBS you may mail checks to PO Box 959, Anguilla, BWI and declare which Club you would like to receive your dues. If you have no specific club in mind the money will be divided among the 7 CLUBS.

Anguilla Forums: Carib On-lineHigh Praise from a Stamp Collector. Wolfgang Weitlaner (email: [email protected]) collects stamps, but in a special way. He collects registered letters from each country, with carefully selected stamps on them. He asked me how to approach the Anguilla Post Office about his philatelic request. I pointed him at the Post Office web site (Click Here) and verified that the Post Office does take VISA credit cards. He faxed his needs to the Post Office at (264) 497 5455, and here is how Wolf describes the service:
Hi Bob!Now Wolf wonders if Anguilla's Travelling Post Office truck has its own cancellation. He could add a special registered letter mailed from the truck while is is delivering mail to the villages.
i was receiving the envelope from Lelia Richardson - the boss. she was doing the best imaginable job. Much better than all the other post-offices. I am very very glad. Payment on credit card was superb working!!! She even has some old stuff on stock, which she will forward me....
Cheers Wolf
