Local Beach Closure

The Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, in collaboration with the Tourism Development Company, wishes to advise the general public that the Manzanilla Beach Facility will be closed from Thursday 9th October. This closure is necessary to facilitate the rehabilitation of the existing seawall which, if left unattended, will continue to threaten the facility’s infrastructure and pose a hazard to users of the facility. The works are expected to be completed in March 2015 and the facility will reopen thereafter.

Local Locomotive ~ San Fernando

"47 years of neglect"

TWO weeks ago, the Mayor of San Fernando Kazim Hosein began a project which, if it all comes together, should interest the people.

Hosein wants the Harris Promenade, which begins at Library Corner and ends across the road from the San Fernando General Hospital, to once again be the city’s centre.

There will be a new bandstand, more trees, the removal of some fruit vendors, a humane attempt to solve the homeless issue, new public convenience toilets, a museum that will tell the story of how the Trinidad Government Railway impacted the city’s development, a fire station (and appliance) from the early days, and a new Library Corner clock.

The City has started the renewal by first fixing its most prized piece of history—that rusting locomotive you can see on the promenade’s east end, near what was once St Joseph Convent.

(Preserving historic Engine No 11)
Image
(The locomotive being prepared for a new paint job,2 weeks ago)

That’s because Mayor Hosein said he had learned a lot about the importance of the Trinidad Government Railway, through the Express’s Remembering the Past articles, and amazed by how many people still declare a connection to the train service that ended in 1968.

Image
(Promenade Landmark: TGR Engine No.11 in 1973: This engine was
placed on Harris Promenade in the City of San Fernando, Trinidad
on 28 August 1967)

The City’s intervention has heartened railway researcher/historian Glen Beadon who knows more than anyone about that locomotive sitting on the promenade. Actually, Beadon probably knows more about everything related to Trinidad’s railway past. This is his story on the old Iron Horse on the promenade, known as “Last Train”

Local Carnival Bandleader

Trinidad and Tobago and the Mas fraternity has lost another legend. Carnival Bandleader, Stephen Lee Heung, passed away last evening at St. Clair Medical Hospital due to complications arising from a lung infection.

Veteran masman Stephen Lee Heung has died a week after a book chronicling his history in mas was launched.

The book We Kind ah People, The Trinidad Carnival Masquerade Bands of Stephen Lee Heung with photography by George Tang and text by Ray Funk, was launched on October 7. The book is dedicated to his late wife Elsie.

A five time winner of the Band of the Year title, Lee Heung is one of the great bandleaders who changes the Carnival landscape. He briefly led small bands in the 40s and played with the legendary Harold Saldenah but it was in 1964 that he formed a major band, out of San Juan, called Two Ten Carmen, which featured Egyptian costumes. In 1947, he produced Siam and the following year he did House of Hanoverians, with his wife, sisters and female friends taking to the streets, which was a bold and historic move. At that time the only women’s band on the street was Nurse Reyes’ Bajan Cooks.

Lee Heung’s trek to the top started in 1964 with Kabuki which placed third in the Band of the Year competition to Silver Stars, the only steelband to have won a Band of the Year title with Gulliver’s Travels, and Harold Saldenha.

In 1965 his band placed second with Versailles and in 1966 Crete, the first production from his house at Number Four Alberto Street, was again runner-up.

The Lee Heungs won their first Band of the Year title in 1967 with China – The Forbidden City. In 1975, ’76 and ’77 they won the Band of the Year title and retained the Angostura Challenge Trophy.

In 1983, the Lee Heungs were back in winner’s row, for the last time, with Rain Forest, Elsie won the Queen of Carnival as Diana Goddess of the Hunt, a beautiful part macaw and part Scarlet Ibis costume. She won the title a second time, while the band produced three Kings of Carnival.

In 1975 Lee Heung received the Humming Bird Medal – Gold. China the Forbidden City was the first band sent abroad by the government to the Montreal Expo in 1967, and then on to Toronto’s Caribana. We Kind Of People was sent to the Dallas Trade Fair in 1975.

Peter Minshall who Stephen got to design his band (Paradise Lost) for him.

Stephen was 93.

The following is a listing of Lee Heung's Carnival presentations:

1964 - "Japan - Land of the Kabuki"
1965 - "Les Fetes Galantes Des Versailles"
1966 - "Crete"
1967 - "China, The Forbidden City," 1st
1968 - "Primeval - The Rites of Spring"
1969 - "1001 Nights"
1970 - "Conquest of Space"
1971 - "Yucatan"
1972 - "Russian Fairy Tales"
1973 - "East of Java"
1974 - "Terra Firma"
1975 - "We Kind A People," 1st
1976 - "Paradise Lost," 1st
1977 - "Cosmic Aura," 1st
1978 - "Love Is ..."
1979 - "Hocus Pocus"
1980 - "The Bermuda Triangle"
1981 - "Shangri-La"
1982 - "Victory at Trafalgar"
1983 - "Rain Forest," 1st (Tied)
1984 - "Regatta"
1985 - "Charade"
1986 - "Sombrero"
1987 - "Cocyea Village"
1988 - "Laserium"
1989 - "Pow Wow"
1991 - "Toute Bagai"
1992 - "Columbus 1492-1992"
1993 - "Safari"
1994 - "Festivals"

My deepest condolences to the Lee Heung family.

Rest In Peace.

Local Hiking ~ Sunday 19th Oct '14 ~ Yarra River

On the North Coast of Trinidad, the Yarra River plays a significant role in providing water to surrounding villages and also acts as a boundary separating the villages of La Filette and Blanchisseuse.

Its channel flows in a north-westerly direction with its source originating from two major tributaries, one from the Limon River in Morne La Croix and the other from the Yarra Forest Reserve. Yarra Bay where the mouth situated is a secluded seafront and a favorite spot for a river and beach lime.

The name Yarra may have derived from an Amerindian word meaning “ever–flowing” which refers to the river constant supply of energizing water


Hiking time : 1 ½ hours

Assembly: 7.00 am entrance to Central Bank Auditorium or 7.45 Sam’s Bar Maracas Bay.

Cost of hike $40.00

Optional Maxi transport: $40.00 (call Mario to book)

Mario: 749-2956, Jamal 761-1889, Marcia 490-2421


Preparation tips for hike:

Extra change of clothing and foot-wear leave in the vehicle.

Wear long pants and proper hiking shoes in case of bushy forest trail..

Bring along sandwiches, snacks, water, thirst quencher drinks, personal medication and insect repellent.

Leave electronic items in the car such as car remotes, cell phones and cameras or use a certified waterproof pouch to secure them.

The hike requires walking through the river and getting wet. Swimming through the gorge is optional. Life- jackets provided to participants or you can bring one along

People of Trinidad and Tobago

I’m from Bangalore, India. My family migrated to the US when I was 11 years old. After the initial euphoria of landing in that “magical far-off” country wore away, I had to start making adjustments – big and small.

I attended a school in a suburban area where no one was brown like me or talked like me but over time they got used to me, and me to them. Over the years, I learnt the American way of assertiveness and being direct which was completely different from being in India.

I have always been very strong in my Hindu faith – Of all things, 10 years ago I came here to Trinidad on a spiritual retreat to the Dattatreya Temple , which hosts the 85ft Hanuman Murti in Carapichaima. Who knew I would meet my future Trini husband then? The most unique feature of Trinidad to me is the interconnectedness, tolerance and familiarity of people. Everyone knows everyone one way or another-

It’s not six degrees of separation, it’s more like two. I am an oddity in that people can never guess where I’m from because of my American accent.

People say home is where the heart is; I say home is where my shoes are and my shoes are always on my feet. I’m here now. This is home.

Local Fella Around in the City

"In my younger days, I was known as Tom Jones- all that dancing. Now I’m an old guy- I’m a grandfather. I’m 59. I cycle everywhere because for one it’s an easy way to get around with all the traffic and secondly I just like cycling.

I used to have a "puppy" that went everywhere on the bike with me but he got stolen.

Nigel Rojas gave me this bike- I love it. I’ve done all sorts of things over the years-

I did body building for a time - well until I dropped 500 pounds on my back doing squats in the gym. That was a tough time being in hospital for 2 months while it healed and also coming to the understanding that life changes in a second. I thought I would never walk again.

I’m writing books now- I’ve done a couple of novels about other worlds as well as one on personal discovery.

We are a product of our childhoods, backgrounds and environment- all the deviants in the world didn’t just appear. It goes back to the beginnings we had. The world has been spinning for 4 billion years -Our human life span of 50-80 years is so insignificant in the scheme of things.

We need to contribute, to help, to be humble, to not have pride, to think about how to leave it in a better place than we entered it, to believe in God but not the mess that religion create"

I aint see nobody post notten in de arrow or flash ched,,,



Arrow ~ Season 3 Episode 2

Image

‘Arrow’ season 3 lets loose its second installment of the year with season premiere follow-up “Sara,” as the team grapples with Sara’s death

Roy is forced to reveal Thea’s whereabouts,
While in flashback Oliver acclimates to his new Hong Kong surroundings, and has a chance encounter with Tommy (Colin Donnell).

Last week’s premiere installment “The Calm” saw Oliver’s increased acclaim in Starling City threatened by a new Vertigo (Peter Stormare),

While Queen Consolidated fell to billionaire Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh),

So what does the second episode of ‘Arrow’ season 3 bring?




Flash ~ Season 1 Episode 2

In episode 2 of “The Flash” on the CW, the whole S.T.A.R. Labs team finally came together. Barry (Grant Gustin) gained the confidence to take on his meta-human foes after a little encouragement from Harrison, the rest of the S.T.A.R. seemed to rally around him, and even Joe (Jesse Martin) lent his support. The newfound teamwork comes just in time too, because the synopsis for episode 3 shows they will need all the help they can get with their next foe.

According to the synopsis for episode 3, titled “Things You Can’t Outrun,” the next villain for the Flash and Co. will be the Mist. Fans of “The Flash” comics know that the Mist is another meta-human who has the power to dissolve himself into a poisonous gas and engulf his enemies. The promo shows the new super villain in action.

Image

The end of the promo shows the Mist going after Barry, seemingly to poison him. A photo (above) from the new episode showing Barry receiving medical treatment from the S.T.A.R. Labs team seems to confirm that he will get poisoned by the Mist.

Barry and the rest of the team will have other things on their plates as well in the new episodes. The synopsis for episode 3 teases that Joe will finally pay a visit to Barry’s dad in prison. From episode 2 fans know that Joe finally believed Barry about his father’s innocence and has vowed to help clear his name. Meanwhile, fans will finally get more details in episode 3 about Caitlin’s (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé’s mysterious death.

Much like its title character, now that it has started “The Flash” isn’t showing any signs of slowing down
