PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten:--- The Tallahassee-St. Maarten Foundation Inc. (TLH-SXMF) Director Arthur Lugisse, after spending six months on the island, recently returned to Tallahassee, Florida to execute a new platform with respect to the Tallahassee-St. Maarten Partnership."After talking to many persons on the island, and partnering with groups and individuals that have the same goals and objectives, I have designed a new platform to promote our country in the USA, with focus on creating opportunities for the Sister City relations between Tallahassee and St. Maarten based on the 12-year-old agreement.
"The new platform is to move forward in the development of joint ventures between business exchange and marketing and promotions. Our country has been a distribution center of goods and services for the past years and now many more doors have been opened since the status change, and the TLH-SXMF will be doing the needful in 2012," Executive Director Lugisse said on Wednesday.
Lugisse kicked off the platform this week by attending the Green Energy Symposium at the State Capitol court yard in Tallahassee, Florida from February 7-9. Many renewable energy companies and ancillary businesses are exhibiting their green products.
Vertical Turbine Power LLC (VTP) revealed to exhibitor attendees two units, a solar powered golf cart and VTP Solar Power Mobile Unit, designed and fabricated by the development company.
The mobile unit is a portable power generator and water filtration system powered by renewable energy. It can be used as a power and waste water plant for a village with no required government input.
Lugisse said now is the time to go green. "Green technology is being promoted all over the world especially with the high costs of fuel, the way to move forward is green. Country St. Maarten needs to also do more in this area and I was very pleased to hear about the plans for the harbor that are being explored in the area of renewable energy.
"This year is International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. The United Nations has called on governments, the private sector and civil society to use renewable and to build a new energy future by using new technology. The TLH-SXMF will be promoting this area throughout 2012 and will work on bringing St. Maarten and Tallahassee entrepreneurs together to develop sustainable energy projects to benefit the development of our country St. Maarten," Arthur Lugisse said on Wednesday.

To enquiring minds who wants to know....I think that is a question you all should ask Rhoda....but I am always an open person so I will respond accordingly...Rhoda's interest is Monroe New York, Cuba and St.Lucia to send you all children...and I think that's her prerogative as head of her department...I did not question her actions in a decision making...so you can ask her yourself....She is creating her own legacy but changing whatever is in place already...One think I can say is that the partnership with instate tuition for our students in Tallaha*see has saved our government over $25,000,000 so far and we have well educated students back home now gainfully employed and more to come...Angelique and Calvin should also be commended for that....Sarah also gave the support to that end also William so that history and the family of these students will speak for itself....in any case if you want more info feel free to email me at

or call me at 850-212-2914 I am a very approachable person....your concern is my concern...On I being fired by Rhoda...you know better than me I got a letter saying I was suspended until further notice to date I have not received such notice that I am fired so I consider I am suspended with pay....As you know I am not a person to dig my head in the sand...so I will always try and do what's in the best interest of St.Maarten even if I am not being paid...most people tells me I am a fool...I should do just for me but that's not my nature...I know there are haters out there...they don't do for themselves far less for others...but my back is broad and will respond to any challenge I am guided by GOD and have a family like everyone else. for your information nobody is paying me I have decided to do what I think can make a difference in St.Maarten and will continue to do so no matter the barriers that's set up to stop me. Again I have received many a call from parents of students and still guide them accordingly...if I am fired you should ask Rhoda who is taking care of your students....I still will be there for St.Maarten students as you might not be aware I was taking care of SXM students from 2003 till 2005 until I was officially given the position and got paid thereof and if I tell you the salary you will tell me I MAD....no one would have done it for that....SO ASK RHODA WHO IS TAKING CARE OF SXM STUDENTS IN TALLAHa*sEE...I represent TLH-SXMF and that really has nothing to do with Rhoda she can't touch that....so she can remain on her high horse seen better than her fall.....At the end of the day I will take the rest of my life as God has planned it for me...I just don't take on stress. whoever you are I hope I was able to inform you accordingly...next time put your name...don't throw stones and hide your hand.....Let's make Country St.Maarten the best it can be..... May God bless you! report abuse

To all...I also think that St.Maarten has a lot of potential for ongoing development...what I am bringing to St.Maarten right now is what the world is moving towards renewable energy which my group has termed differently...CLEAN TECHNOLOGY which covers a wider range of competencies in our environment....I am in a position to a*sist anyone who has interest in those areas...We have a company in Florida that manufactures Solar Panel and all types of systems also the opportunity for any St.Maartener or Caribbean person to get 4-6 weeks training in solar systems to run their own company....LET'S MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE BY WORKING TOGETHER....I AM OPEN TO WHO THINKS POSITIVE AND LOOKING TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE....ARTHUR report abuse

B.S to me means bulls**t and that is what I think you are talking about .....I never had anyone working for me who I did not pay tax for....again let everyone know who you are and also who you talking about....call names don't be a coward ...... Maybe you worked for me and if you did and I. Did not pay for you....you should. Have paid it yourself I resume you were a Hired hand.....Any way if in my response all you can refer to is about God I also leave you to God he will take care of your ego.....I wonder if you had to talk. About yourself how much people who knows you...would maybe talk much negative things about you....If I am a thown in your finger please take it out....because by trying to bring me down you will not climb the ladder . Stop wasting your time.....And to remind you if you know me well I have always walked in the site report abuse

Arthur who give you the rights to represent St.Maarten students? You are a Dominica no good. The USA should deport you asap. You have done nothing for St.Maarten students. they don't even see or hear from you only when some government person is coming up to TLH. You are a waste of time but must of all, the wrong that you have done to St.Maarten/ St.Martin young woman is catching up to you. God don't sleep and believe me your deeds will catch up to you. report abuse
