Students get BTVI papers

The procession of young men and women receiving pre-technology certificates, included graduates of St. George's High School, as they were part of a special integrated programme that allowed high school students to graduate through the institution.

Keynote speaker and Parliamentary Secretary Agatha Marcelle advised the graduates that the journey to success had only begun.

"This point is the beginning of great things in your life. I want to tell you that you never need be embarrassed about where you were, where you have come and where you are going," she said.

Floodwaters wreak havoc across US capital area

Heavy rains caused a landslide in Chesapeake Beach, Md., a mudslide that resulted in the closure of the Capital Beltway and Woodrow Wilson Bridge, the shutdown of most commuter rail lines and power outages at tens of thousands of homes. In Chevy Chase, Md., boat crews rescued about 35 partygoers stranded at the Candy Cane City recreational center on Beach Drive.

The storms slammed downtown Washington, flooding critical commuter routes, such as Constitution Avenue and the 12th Street tunnel, and swamping a pair of heavily used Metro stations. Not even the White House could escape the damage, as a 100-year-old American elm tree fell near the front door.
