Developmental
Challenge
Intellectual
and spiritual development comprise two areas of human advancement
which must be attained, if humans are to experience a fulfilled
existence during our short span here on Earth. Both
in the individual and national contexts, developmental achievement
and attainment in these realms of life are crucial to fullest
wellbeing. 
The
Shoemaker, the Jamette and the Barber (Part ii)
A
hard day’s night, this Saint Lucia; humorless, maddening
as hell, defiant in its half-made-ness, the split personality
turned inside out. Yesterday, the collective behaviour resembled
Mr. Haywood’s; today, more like the jamette’s.
Thanks, Elizabeth, for the correction. The place is near redeemed
by the presence of those like you who still wish to see,

Trinidad
Carnival revisited
For
as long as I can recall there has been disagreement, discomfort,
even hostility by certain sections of Trinidad society to
the annual pre-lenten bacchanal called carnival. That
carnival has survived from it rudimentary beginnings to the
mass appeal it now enjoys in that country is due in part to
its origins in protest by the masses of liberated slaves,

RBTT
Young Leaders 2008 Project Launched

RBTT Young Leaders project was launched on Wednesday February

No
black in the White House
I
start this commentary by declaring that I would like Barack
Obama’s to be elected President of the United States,
not because he is part black, but because of his perspective
of the United States as a country and his perception of the
United States in the world. Note that I say he is
‘part black’, for indeed he is also ‘part
white’. 
Donation
to the Fond St Jacques School!”
St.
Lucian by rex resorts makes a donation to the Fond St Jacques
Primary School in their quest for a multi-function facsimile
machine to assist with daily communications through their
administrative office. The Principal, Ms. Joan Hippolyte

disbursement of various documentations much easier”.
Cameras
in court?
“In
loving memory of my grandfather George Durant Glasgow, who
passed away on Ash Wednesday at age 93. May his soul rest
in peace.” In larger countries like the USA,
having cameras in the courtroom appears to act as an educational
and informative tool for the administration of justice.
Child
Discipline
Parents
are often annoyed by a child’s behaviour when he is
only acting his age. Some behaviour that is hard to live with
is typical of most children that age. For example,
young children have a great deal of energy and need to be
active. If parents realize how hard it is for a young child
to sit still and be quiet, they arrange for the child to use
up his energy in a way that does not irritate them.

THE
VIRTUES PROJECT
What
Is Honor?
Honor is living with a sense of respect for what you believe
is right. It is living by the virtues, showing great respect
for yourself, other people, and the rules you live by. When
you are honourable, you don’t have to feel ashamed of
who you are or what you are doing. You are worthy of respect.
You set a good example.
