Distraught: Beth Holloway, the mother of missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, leaves a Press conference in 2005, shortly after her daughter went missing in Aruba. Mrs Holloway is coming to Bermuda to speak to youngsters. 
 
 
The mother of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway will visit Bermuda next week when she will urge students to take responsibility for their own safety.

Beth Holloway, whose 18-year-old daughter disappeared on a high school graduation trip in Aruba in 2005, will give a talk at Warwick Academy on Friday (October 2).

That evening she will be the guest speaker at the Physical Abuse Centre's 30th anniversary gala celebration at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess, her first ever international engagement.

Ms Holloway, who is visiting the Island for the first time with son Matt, 21, told The Royal Gazette in a telephone interview yesterday that she would talk to students on personal safety.

"It's their responsibility to watch out for themselves," she said. "I have presented to tens of thousands of high school and college students. I remind the young girls to bring their plans for an evening full circle. They need to pay as much attention to how they end their evening as how to how they begin it."

Natalee was last seen by her classmates leaving a nightclub in the town of Oranjestad. After she missed her return flight home, her luggage and passport were discovered in her hotel room. Police suspected foul play but her body has never been found.

Ms Holloway, who has written a book, 'Loving Natalee — A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith', said she initially found her presentations to other youngsters cathartic.

Now she said her hope was simply to help others by sharing her story. "What I try to remind myself is that it's the choice that I have when I wake up every morning, whether I want to be bitter or positive.

"How do I want to live the rest of my life? Do I remain a victim or do I want to become a victor? I want to deliver help or aid to those who need it."

The 49-year-old speech pathologist said she was aware that there were a number of unsolved murder cases here and hoped to meet the relatives of those victims.

"I think that when two persons come together that share similar occurrences in their life, of course I think they can learn from each other. They can encourage each other and support each other."

Warwick principal Maggie McCorkell said Ms Holloway would speak to students aged 15 to 18. "She will do a presentation on personal safety for these students in our morning assembly. I feel this is an increasingly important area that all people, and especially young people, need to be aware of and the more exposure we can give them, then the better informed they will be."

l For tickets to the gala call 292-4366.

Truth & Justice for Natalee!

[Tamikosmom]

Beth Holloway is an amazing woman.  It was not long after the disappearance of her precious daughter that Beth embarked on an ongoing mission of love ... a mission of the heart ... that extended beyond her pain ... her loss.

Beth Holloway's words and actions in her journey from the depths of H--- has been nothing short of inspirational for me and have afforded me strength in so many areas of my own life when discouragement may have prevailed.

Loving Natalee - Beth Holloway

Page 219: ... In each city I have the privilege to speak to several high schools, churches, or law enforcement and civic groups.  This translates to thousands of youths and adults.  Delivering this safety mesage is my triumph over devastation.  If gives me great joy and is tremendously rewarding work.  I think that I can bear the pain of losing Natalee if it means that I can prevent another family from going through our tragic experience.  If even just one young person in tens of thousands is saved, then it's well worth it.

I ask young people to make a conscious decision to stay safe.  They have to make the choice.  And I'm not asking them do anything more than I ask myself.  I have to make difficult choices every day.  I have to make a conscious decision every morning when I wake up not to be bitter, not to live in resentment and let anger control me.  It's not easy.  I ask God to help me.  And I know it's not easy for young people to think about choosing not to get into a situation in which they can't defend themselves.  But we all have to make hard choices.  Every day.

Opposition AVP wins landslide in Aruba

Published on26 September 2009 - 10:39am
Filed under: Aruba AVP MEP parliamentary elections results


Aruba's Christian-Democrat AVP party has won a landslide victory in Friday's parliamentary elections, ousting the centre-left party MEP after eight years in power.
 
With more than 80 percent of the votes counted, the AVP looks set for 12 seats, four more than the MEP. This means that, like the MEP over the past eight years, the AVP will be able to form a majority government on its own.

Thanks so much TxMom, and Buckeye as well.

This is fabulous news!!!!!!!!!!!!

What say we begin a letter writing campaign to Mr Eman?

Asking him to honor the Netherlands request to investigate what happened in the first 10 days after Natalee went missing.

Urging him to help Aruba make a productive, new start by doing all in his power to see that not only do the perpetrators against Natalee get brought to Justice, but that also those who were In Power and hindered this investigation are also brought to their knees.

Encourage him to show that Aruba is turning over a new leaf, wants to clear its name, and do the right thing by Natalee Holloway and her family.

That maybe, just maybe - after doing so, Aruba might enjoy the return of its tourism.

[jen3560]

Now is the time for this new party to investigate what went on on their slimy island AND most importantly what happened to Natalee and why she has not been returned to her family and country.  Would go a long way in clearing their name some (nothing will clear it completely with me).  Hope this brings down several ex-pats living on their island.  They are as guilty as the ousted party IMO.

I couldn't agree with you more, Blue Moon!!!!!

[jen3560]

 

Not only am I thrilled for what this could mean to Natalee's family, but I'm also very happy for the Aruban people.

No one deserves to live under a Dictatorship - such as was Nelson Oduber.

No one deserves to live in fear.

No one should have to live their life in accordance with the Good Ole Boy's far reaching crushing thumb.

Kudos to Aruba for doing the right thing for themselves - and hopefully for Natalee as well.

Perhaps those who lived in fear of the Powers That Be (Thank God they are no more!!!) will now feel comfortable to come forward with what they know of the events the night Natalee went missing. 

[Tamikosmom]

To avoid any misunderstandingss ... to avoid being scammed ... I now ask the hard questions prior to donating an amount larger than $10.00 to any fund.  I have learned to remind myself that we have all been blessed not only with a giving heart but with the ability to decern.

I have learned through personal experience.  Two years ago ... I unintentionally contributing substantially to furthering an Aruban agenda ... an Aruban agenda that I opposed ... an Aruban agenda that was preventing justice from prevailing for a missing 18 year old American named Natalee Holloway.

A REMINDER

A TALE OF THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL

Kyle Kingman - In His Own Words

Kyle Kingman:  I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line. Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed. Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.

Kyle Kingman:  For Jan 7th, Eduardo wasn't on the boat, neither were any media, Tim Miller, or Tim Trahan.

Kyle Kingman: The Persistence had no divers on the 7th. Tim Trahan was our diver on the 30th-Dec, but he was out of the country at the time. The Aruban divers were on the police boat, dove from their boat, and returned to their boat.

Kyle Kingman:  I requested all samples to be brought on board the Persistence for visual and top-side photographs. It was ignored by the project lead (John S.) who felt the Arubans would follow whatever they needed to do as far as proper protocol.

Kyle Kingman: The fabric(s?) are not visible on either the Dec 29th or 30th dives. There is about an inch of sand over the fabrics. The fabrics are completely covered. The diver sampled the sand and found the fabric underneath the sand.

Kyle Kingman: I get done in the survey room backing up the ROV dive and head to the back deck to talk to the Polis divers and see what they sampled and see the Polis boat way in the distance heading away fast. John doesn't seem concerned at all, but I am very dissapointed, concerned, and burning inside because I have a feeling that I/we will never know what they took from the trap. That evening I talked to John asking when we plan on recovering the trap. Previously this was part of the talks and plan, but this time he doesn't seem concerned about ever looking into the trap further. After John verbally BASHED me about the trap for what I said to Tim Miller about the sand body-form and that I believed her skirt was under the sand, John pretty much committed himself to the belief the trap wasn't what we were after. This shocked me because it was exactly what we were looking for- a fish trap lost at sea with human remains.

Kyle Kingman:  I was told to move forward and to forget about the trap. I was told not to show anyone the images.

Kyle Kingman:  John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship. I did not feel the same and we had a major difference in opinion. He was the one who never pressed ALE to be completely open with us with the trap evidence. I would have forced them to. However, John was the one paying my invoices so I was forced to sit back and hope for the best.

[Tamikosmom]

Kermit ... where are ya!  I hope all is well.

Hey ... my DIL and I have come to a roadblock in our almost completed work regarding various aspects of the Persistence betrayal.  We could sure use your background knowledge and archives to clear up some confusion.

Ribbit.

Be happy to help in anyway I can.

[Tamikosmom]

Thanks Kermit.

We are still in the process of attempting to simply connect all segments of the document (mini book).  If this is not possible ... separate sections is where it will be at.  My DIL's former instructor at the local university is coming over later to assist us.  It has been all so overwhelming as teacher DIL has just so much time to devote to the project.  However ... there appears to finally be some light at the end of the tunnel.

I am compiling what I will require from you in regards to some background knowledge as well as archives that will back up and ... will post within the next couple of days.

Thanks again for your willingness to assist.

Mike Eman Celebrating with the AVP supporters just before his victory speech at Cas di Partido.

ORANGE CITY - The numbers speak for themselves: 26,485 votes, more than 6673 government party MEP, resulting in a sample of winning twelve seats for AVP. Of the largest opposition party was ten o'clock and two seats immediately rest seats. It was a historic victory for AVP: the party never won a majority of twelve seats in parliament.

In all voting districts was the Green Party an improvement, with an average of 40 percent, resulting in the constant cheering supporters that flock to the results on the big screens had come and watch. Traffic around the party house was stuck by honking cars. "Who said that AVP has an absolute majority has never been able to achieve this phone now!" Exulted leader Mike Eman (58) during his victory speech at the party house in Rancho ASF. The Green Party after the elections in 2005 had eight seats in parliament.

Biggest loser was the MEP that eight to eleven seats duikelde who currently has a restzetel. In total the government party won 19,812 votes. Other losers were both RED and MPA and therefore lost a seat in parliament not return. That while these parties in advance that they thought just more seats at the expense of the major parties would achieve. That was the idea of PDR leader Andin Bikker, although for the first parliament was elected, but nevertheless relied on more seats.

Mike Eman, the proposed new Prime Minister of Aruba congratulated Bikker earned his seat. "On the evening parties have made a less good result, I would say that it belongs to the realities of politics."

Eman spoke to also conciliatory towards the supporters of opponent MEP. "The followers of MEP are not guilty of the past eight years, that their leaders. I invite them to participate in the cambio. "Eman also thanked in particular the" Latino community ", which was well represented at the festivities, and he spoke a word of thanks to the Haitian community in Patois. Tomorrow celebrates her victory with the AVP traditional procession of the winning party.


Repeating history
MEP leader and Prime Minister Nelson Oduber had no congratulations. He laid the blame for the loss of his party in the Netherlands and partly Valero. The Dutch government would by the terms of notice required of a corruption investigation in mixed Aruban affairs, said Oduber. And Valero CEO Bill Klees from just before the elections closed the refinery in San Nicolas to have parties have chosen. Oduber got in his speech that was exclusively reserved for the party minded Canal 22, a lot tonight from the AVP. That was its unrealistic promises once again trying to make true, says MEP leader.

The history would also have repeated. Just as in 1985 when the refinery in Aruba and also closed a crisis hit, the MEP had a high price to pay in the election, he says. While the yellow party had just ensured that Aruba was a country, said Oduber. In any case, in 2009 'lies and materialism "beating, said the outgoing premier.



The voting results are preliminary, Wednesday, the Electoral Council announced the final results in a public session.

Mike Eman arrives in his SUV, half climbs on the roof and it is a madhouse. Once on stage he keeps his speech. It does not matter that he half pulled out of sight because of a massive cameraman for him. Nothing is more out. AVP has won. When he announces that half the party won twelve seats the party can not go wrong.

An agent reports that no incidents have happened. "It's the same in every election," he says laconically. And indeed, despite occasionally being abused over and again the atmosphere is anything but grim. These commands are never arrived. A school bus with MEP supporters are welcomed by a man with a broom to clean the road. "Bari nan joke!" Candidate Manolo Besselink can be seen here for some contact with supporters. There are still a few hours ahead to win votes.

It took the workers were outside the polling station to cast the control, very difficulty to hear what the workers inside the room omriepen. Their task is to voice the song to write and verify. When Kock noted that she had disagreed. Kock: "Well how can employees do their job well if they can not hear what is listed inside." This led to the voters in the queue asked to be quieter, so the workers could do their job well.

Rudy Lampe (RED): "More of the same '

September 26, 2009, 13:50 (GMT -04:00)

ORANGE CITY - "Aruba has chosen to maintain the political status quo. For more of the same. "It says clearly disappointed Rudy Lampe, leader of RED, last night after the results of the elections was clear. The political party of Lampe obtained according to preliminary vote counts in 2371, over 200 not enough to meet the threshold. RED result, the current seat and loses the coming reign of parliament disappears.

by our reporter
Alex Lacle

At the headquarters of the party vote was printed last night. After the removal of nearly half of all polling stations inside, it was clear that for RED would be very difficult to have a seat to win. The few people on the street cede in Belgium were present, looked into the garden together to the election results. Rudy Lampe was then not available for comment. "He is busy coordinating our people at the polling stations," said Luigi Bergen party. Bergen said the outcome in a first response 'disappointing'.

Trend
After a few hours later, most results were in, Lampe has joined with his people. He announced sorry to find that their message has not been echoed in the population. "We have a very explicit change in the political system is proposed. Our message is not received. Or maybe come over, but the people have chosen a different direction. "Lampe finds it" remarkable "that the population for the third consecutive time to choose a party gets a majority in parliament.
