BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI – During ‘VIP Let’s Talk,’ the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) live radio talk show airing on ZBVI 780 AM, the appreciation and affection for one of the two guests who helped restored the Huntum’s Ghut Basketball court was expressed by callers and heard by radio listeners who tuned in.

The VIP’s political talk show was hosted by Claude O. Skelton-Cline and had two VIP guests, Kye M. Rymer running in District 5 and Carnel D. Clyne of District 2 last evening, Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

However, many callers focused the spotlight on Mr Rymer, showering praises on the former Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for his leadership, determination, helpfulness, dedication and strong role in restoring the Huntum’s Ghut Basketball Court located in District 5.

Public Pleased

Some five people made their views public when they called and voiced how impressed they were at Mr Rymer’s ‘hard work’, ‘team efforts’ and him “taking the lead with many others to refurbish the Huntum’s basketball court.”

They noted both the young and elderly people of the area and the entire community are thankful for the efforts of the political aspirant.

Mr Rymer took the lead following the destruction of the basketball court in 2017 by Hurricanes Irma and Maria when the facility was ignored for almost two years by the National Democratic Party (NDP 1) Government. 

Rymer acknowledged others

The Huntum’s Ghut Basketball court was reopened on January 19, 2019, the same date Mr Rymer launched his bid to represent District 5.  There was also a very well supported exhibition game the same day.

The VIP candidate also thanked the many persons in the district and others who helped and made contributions to the refurbishing of the Basketball Court.

He was also transparent in acknowledging the support and contributions from his ‘Bringing District 5  Alive Committee,’ ‘China-Man’, B&B Trucking Company, Sherwin Williams, 'Skelly Gumbs,' 'G4L,'  ‘ Radiotron Electronics’ and ‘Spraggy’ among others.

      What Kye did is commendable. I also think if government contributed in making this project a reality they should be givem their recognition along with all the other volunteers and sponsors. It won't diminish his efforts in any way. If we are to get much done in our communities, we must embrace the public/private collaboration.

    But who was responsible for the backboards? If it’s government, why not thank them for it or acknowledge them? The court would be useless without them right? Don’t persons recognize all major contributors? So in the list of contributions and acknowledgements, they ought to have been mentioned. It’s sounding like pure politricks.

      @fishy, kye is responsible for the back boards. Don’t mind that fake invoice they put out in social media. If you take a good notice it’s an invoice from 2017. If they so want to fix basketball court, tell them to go up Anegada and fix that one over there. Set ah dutty minded people. Bad mine ah go kill them.

        The invoice is not fake the person name was scatched out to protect the local contractor. A local contractor did build the backboards.

      How is it that many who provide sponsorship were not mention? We all know this was a manufactured political stunt.
