Burton recently placed 10thoverall in the Men’s category of the ‘Hotter N’ Hell 100’ cycling event in the United States. The event took place last weekend in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he is a student at Midwestern State University (MSU). He competed along with 60 licensed racers and performed before more than ten thousand spectators.
 
“In the future…I look to compete in some more and gain some ranking points to upgrade my categories and hopefully, by the end of it all, I would be strong enough, in my opinion, to compete regionally when time allows, and even internationally when Dominica is able to get some representation at regional and international events.”

​Meantime, Joseph contends that the values which should be promoted in the country are not being discussed sufficiently.

​Joseph is adamant that the church can play a role in avoiding deviation from these values.
