On
making a difference
As
a child I was always able to tell the differences in the people
around me. I think most children can do this especially
when those differences are as stark as say between a man and
a woman or a boy and a girl. I learnt later that physical
appearances are important points of identification and are
to be taken seriously especially where the society dictates
that this should be done. 
The
Music Awards — an Historic Occasion
That
event had been long overdue in Saint Lucia. The arrangements
were beautifully and professionally planned; it was in their
execution that there were some short-falls. I have
said it before that anyone wanting to put on an event of that
nature must have people with a theatrical background to assist.
We see such things on television from the U. S. A.,
Response
to Mondesir Article
I
write in response to the article ‘Prophets in their
own countries” carried in the 1 March 2008 weekend edition
of the VOICE. While I will ascribe no sinister motive

crookedness.

the acting commissioner of Police and disgust is the only
fair interpretation one can find to describe the turn of events.
Mr Broughton and his team were brought to St Lucia
for a real reason. To instil some discipline
and assist the St Lucia Police Force to become more official
in their duties.
Obama
and Clinton lock horns
The
race for the Democratic nomination continues unabated and
too close to call, but issues pursued by both Candidates,
though similar in some respects, remained loaded with political
spin. Obama is extremely personable with the gift
of the gab and has struck a note of CHANGE AT THE HELM which
a vast number of Americans appreciate,
Yachting
Sector Support
Your
article in the “Voice” of 26th Feb. on yachting
sector support may have caused some of your readers to draw
conclusions which may be at variance with the current state
of the industry. The following will hopefully provide some
clarification. Following the submission of the ECLAC
report (2002) on sustainable marine based tourism (yachting),
