BBC TV Arena Documentary to Feature Sir George
Martin
 A two-man crew
from Arena, an arts and culture programme on British Broadcasting
Corporation TV (BBC TV), was in Montserrat recently finalising work on a
documentary about the legendary music producer and former manager of the
Beatles, Sir George Martin. Sir
Martin and his wife spend part of the winter season in Montserrat and
said that he could not tell a story of his life without including the "the
Other Emerald Isle". The crew,
which arrived on Monday, January 10th, 2011, was shooting at
several locations including Olveston House
(www.olvestonhouse.com), which is
the residence of Sir George Martin and also operates as a guesthouse. He
explained that it was first built to house band members for stars like
Elton John who were recording at Martin’s Air Studios in the
1980’s. Several persons from the Montserrat community were invited to
be interviewed as part of the documentary. The programme is scheduled
to be aired on the Easter weekend in the United
Kingdom. Former Minister of
Tourism Laid to Rest
 Well-wishers, family members, friends, and many
officials of the neighbouring islands, were on hand at the Montserrat
Cultural Centre on January 21st, to pay their last respects to the late
Chief Minister and Minister of Tourism of Montserrat, the Honourable Dr.
John A. Osborne. Dr. Osborne passed away on Sunday January
2nd in the United States after being hospitalized for several
months. He holds the distinction of being the longest serving
politician in Montserrat, totalling 38 years. He first came to the
position of Chief Minister in November 1978 and continued until losing
legislative council elections on October 10, 1991. He also served in this
capacity from 2001 to 2006. He was
an entrepreneur and shipwright, with a passion for his family and
Montserrat. In a fitting homage to his love for the sea, Dr. Osborne’s
coffin was a replica of one of his earlier ships the Western Sun and was
built by Junie Irish. Following the celebration of his life on January
21st, Dr. Osborne was buried in a private funeral service on Saturday
January 22 at the St. Peters Anglican Church. Montserrat Gets Positive
