Carols under the Whalebone Arch - Stanley, Falkland Islands (short selection)
On Christmas Eve, it is still light at 6pm in the Falkland Islands when people gather under the Whalebone Arch in Stanley to sing carols and, in recent years, also to hear singers from the Zimbabwean community - many of them are deminers, here to clear mines left by Argentinian forces during the 1982 War.
Enjoy a short selection from Christmas Eve 2018 ...
Waterfront Development plans heat up in Stanley
There has been much deliberation over the planning application on the Waterfront Development in Stanley.
Some residents are enraged over the proposed removal of shrub borders and flowers in the Whalebone Arch Garden. Where suggestions were made to replace this green area with a concrete footpath and a paved area on the ground, showcasing the Falklands flag. Decisions which haven't been received too kindly by some local residents.
FITV put the community's questions to the Project Co-ordinator of the Waterfront Development, to find answers.

Whale Bone Arch
0 comment
The whalebone arch in Workman Gardens was a popular attraction for tourists and residents alike having been in place since 1906.
However, its rapid deterioration due to extreme weather conditions in the last few years meant it had become too weak to safely remain in place.
A recent inspection found that the top section of the five-metre high structure, made from a bowhead whale’s jawbone, had become very weak.
A combination of flooding, extremely cold winters and prolonged spells of dry weather followed by very wet weather is said to be to blame.
The bones have been taken on the short journey to the Evesham Hotel off Coopers Lane, which was their original home when they were brought to the country in 1820.
structure, made from a bowhead whale’s jawbone, had become very weak.
A combination of flooding, extremely cold winters and prolonged spells of dry weather followed by very wet weather is said to be to blame.
The bones have been taken on the short journey to the Evesham Hotel off Coopers Lane, which was their original home when they were brought to the country in 1820.
The hotel was formerly known as the Mansion House and the owner was given the bones by a friend, before they were handed to the local authority to be displayed in Workman Gardens.
Councillor Emma Stokes, executive board member for environment and contracted services at Wychavon, said it was a sad day but that safety was the ultimate reason why the bones had to be removed. “It is disappointing that we have had to remove the whalebone arch from its home in the gardens.
However, safety of park users is of the highest priority.
“The bones’ new home in the grounds of the Evesham Hotel will hopefully provide a more sheltered location and still enable residents and visitors to see these spectacular items.”
The bones’ journey to the banks of the river Avon in Evesham begins in 1819 when a former Evesham man, Mr Stanton, set sail on board the Andrew Marvell. Leaving from Hull under Captain Orton, the crew were embarking upon a whaling voyage to the Arctic.
Ten whales were caught in 1820 in the Davis Strait near Greenland and the jawbones of one of the animals caught – a bowhead whale – was sent by Mr Stanton to his friend Dr Cooper, who lived at the Mansion House, as a gift.
They were originally erected as an arch at the entrance to the Mansion House.
In 1906 they were presented to the then borough council by Dr Cooper’s grand-daughter Mrs Frances Edwards and remained in place for 106 years, until last week when they were removed.
A number of preservation techniques have been used in an attempt to keep the bones in a good condition over the years and protect them from weathering in the unsheltered spot.
The most recent of these was in 2005 when a consolidation treatment to strengthen the bone and a filler for the hollow areas was used.

Island Catholic community welcomes new pope
NANAIMO - Pope watch is finally over. For the past two days the world anxiously waited to see white smoke rise from the Sistine Chapel. When it did, excitement filled Nanaimo's St. Peters Catholic Church.
Like many around the globe, members of the local Catholic community were in suspense to see who will be named their new leader. Finally the new leader of the faith was revealed.
The conclave selected Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio from Buena Aires. Bishop Richard Gagnon calls it a great choice, He is well known in South America for his work in social justice, for the poor and for his teachings of the Church.
The conclave has selected a man of many firsts. The new pope is the first ever from the America's, the first Jesuit and the first to take the name Francis.
