		<description><![CDATA[ Grammacks, with new lead singer, Linford John(extreme right) &#8220;The original members of Gramacks never really stopped playing music per se. We were not playing together as a band, but since the band broke up, we all continued playing individually.&#8221; A quote from one Dominica&#8217;s biggest cadence bands of the seventies, Gramacks, who, along with the creators of cadence-lypso music, Exile One, can be credited with having significantly impacted the French Caribbean with that music. The band has released its second CD since it was revived in 2009. The group&#8217;s original front man, the late Jeff Jo, was not part of that revival and Linford John, former lead singer of the group &#8220;Billomen&#8221;, was enlisted to fill that position. &#8220;Because of modern technology, we were able to complete this CD without any of us being in the same room together, at any given time, during the entire recording process! That, we think, is quite remarkable!&#8221; Gramacks state in a press release]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Shillingford Leeward Islands Cricket Association (LICA) President Gregory Shillingford has been clearing the air about his alleged involvement in the decision to move the third Test in the pending Digicel Home Series between West Indies and Australia from Guyana to Dominica. Antigua-based Shillingford told the Daily Observer newspaper in St John’s that the decision  was not one he could have influenced. According to the Observer, his statement comes following calls from former national players, Zorol Barthley and Kenneth Benjamin, for Shillingford to demit office – they have accused him of not having the best interest of Leeward Islands cricket at heart. The former players argued that Shillingford should have ensured that the match, scheduled for April 23 to 27, was given to Antigua. ]]></description>
