UPDATE: Hon. Maduro-Caines out of hospital

Hon. Alvera Maduro-Caines, Representative of the Six District has been discharged from Peebles Hospital following recent surgery. The MP is reported to be in good spirits and is expected to have a full and stable recovery.
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Word reaching this news site from its team of reporters around the Virgin Islands is that Six District Representative Hon. Alvera Maduro-Caines has been released from Peebles Hospital following recent surgery.

The first term Member of Parliament is said to be home recovering and is expected to be up and about in the coming weeks.

The nature of her medical surgery has not been released to the public, but persons close to the situation told this news site that the Sixth District Representative remains in good spirits and is expected to experience a full and stable recovery.

Mrs. Maduro-Caines has been home receiving many telephone calls from her constituents, family and friends.

Hon. Maduro-Caines, a former Assistant Postmaster General in the Virgin Islands (VI) Postal Service, convincingly defeated former long time Sixth District Representative Omar W. Hodge in the 2011 VI general elections. Hodge, a former Minister for Natural Resources and Labour, served in the VI Parliament for 32 years (1979-2011).

Maduro-Caines, who ran with the now ruling National Democratic Party team, received 612 or 61.4 % of the votes in compelling fashion to Hodge’s 385 or 38.6 % of votes cast, the biggest up-set of last year’s general elections.

Since taking office last year, the new representative has taken a keen interest in the youths in her community and remains very involved in some aspects of the festival committee activities. Maduro-Caines is also spearheading efforts in developing an after-school programme and basketball tournaments as well as the upgrading of the Purcell Estate basketball court.

In recent months, the man that Hon. Maduro-Caines defeated in a landslide victory, former Legislator Hodge, also underwent surgery at a Florida Hospital and is said to be back in the Virgin Islands and recovering very well.

In addition, former Premier and now Leader of the Opposition Hon. Ralph T. O’Neal OBE, was in a Florida hospital for medical attention and is also back in the VI and has been up and about and back on the job.

The Staff, Management and Board of Directors of Virgin Islands News Online wish Hon. Alvera Maduro-Caines a speedy recovery and God’s blessings.

    I hope all the NDP paid blogers who was saying all kind of nasty things when Uncle Ralph and Omar was sick will see sickness has no friends or political party. The young gets sick and the old get sick...hope they will stop their nastiness about Mr. O’Neal whenever they hear he may be sick. I wish senator Alvera all the best and happy to read that she is recovering well.

      I am not a big fan of VIP, but you are very right. I hate to hear these stupid comments about Ralph's sickness. Either we too silly to realize that sickness has no preferences or we dont respect that whether we like Ralph or not, he has made some type of contributions to this territory. We need to be more respectful and have some decent compassion.

      Hey people, can you take a surgery and not be sick. All surgeries are not linked to a sickness.
