7. Hike to Fondes Amandes ~ Saturday 14th March



The Fondes Amandes watershed is the land area between the Lady Chancellor Ridge and St Ann's Aripita Ridge.

It is a major tributary that flows into the St Ann's River. The area was once used to cultivate nutmeg (mystical fragrant), although the name Fondes Amandes refers to a place for almonds.

The hike starts at the Chancellor Look-out and the walk along the ridge into the valley will take an hour.

The pools located upstream, and the trek along the bank will take a further fifteen minutes to get there.

The main pool is clean and crystal clear with a small deep basin for swimming. The Fondes Amandes Community request that visitor’s keep a clean scene and do not litter the surroundings at the river.

A significant feature alongside the bank is a solid square concrete structure, probably built during the 1800’s with a cast iron door and small air vents to the top.

This relic may have been used to store agriculture produce and supplies, however, some villager’s debate that it could have been a detention unit for slaves.

Cost is $80 ~ Hike Fee is $50 ~ Transport Fee is $30

Assemble at Scotiabank San Juan for 6:00am and Transport leaves at 6:45am sharp.

Local Turkey


The Turkey ‪Vulture‬ grows up to 76cm with a wingspread of 1.8m and is very shy.

They can be found in or around forested areas in Trinidad (absent in Tobago).

They feed on carrion much smaller in size to that of what the Black Vulture engages including small mammals, and reptiles.

These are often compared to the Zone-tailed Hawk in flight.

Local Prominent Business Man ~ Max Senhouse


Max Senhouse revolutionised marketing in T&T.

He was a unique character - He was a jovial chap - You couldn't help loving him

From way back in the 70's people admired this man for his clever marketing strategies

Long before "Credit" there was "Hire Purchase" with which Max made household items available to poor folks

He was a small businessman who took to the airwaves - People was looking foward to his radio on Radio Trinidad show and to hear him say - "You need the goods - We need the money " Chant

With just the one outlet in Tunapuna - People were coming from all over the country to buy furniture from his store

His name was always on the Radio - TV - Newspapers - Scouting for Talent - Mastana Bahar

“It was only until I was about 19 I saw my potential in the business....originally I was an accountant for a shipping company"

“I learned what it was like to be an employee first in order to know what I like and do not like as a managing director"

Max Senhouse has died at the age of 78

Local Leatherback Turtles Satellite Tracking ~ Asha - Beverly - Christie

I’m keeping my eye on Beverly right now. Still moving south. I think we’ll know in just a few more days whether or not she’s going to start the great swim toward Trinidad. I have the same feeling I get when I want to know the ending of a story right away without waiting any longer. And in this case, I can’t flip to the final pages of a book to satisfy my curiosity. Turtles teach me patience!

I’m glad to see Christie is heading closer to Trinidad.

It’s been one month since we last heard from Asha. And I have to admit wondering where she is, too. Asha was our mystery turtle this year. She didn’t have a recorded nesting history. No flipper tags. No microchip. Where she went was going to be a complete surprise. Hope we get to find out someday.

Beets


Beets can Lower Blood pressure - Prevent Constipation - Reduces Inflammation and Give your Blood a Boost


Beets have zero trans fat and zero saturated fat. They are also low calorie. How’s that for a food to satisfy your hunger and have the ability to satisfy a sweet tooth at the same time? Beets are high in carbohydrates which means they are a great instant energy source, but unlike processed foods which are high in carbohydrates, beets will energise your body and can be regarded as body fuel.

Beets contain sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosperous. They are also considered a fibre food and contain vitamins A and C as well as niacin.

Beets contain folic acid which is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells. This is especially important for pregnant woman or anyone undergoing physical healing. Many people take folic acid in the form of herbal supplements, but if you eat beets, you won’t need to. It is always better for the body to receive it’s nutrients and vitamins through food over a supplement because it is like mainlining the natural source into your bloodstream. The benefits are far superior and faster with real food over powder mixes or pills.

Studies have shown that beets guard against cancer, especially colon cancer. Medical studies have also shown that including beets in your diet helps protect a body against heart disease.

Beets can be eaten raw or you can boil, steam roast or sautee them. Additionally raw beets can be juiced very easily. But be warned, beet juice is extremely strong and powerful. If you want the benefits of beet juice but candle handle drinking it straight up, then mix it with some carrot or apple juice for a milder but still beneficial juice.

Choose small or medium-sized beets whose roots are firm, smooth-skinned and deep in colour. Smaller, younger beets may be so tender that peeling won’t be needed after they are cooked.

Avoid beets that have spots, bruises or soft, wet areas, all of which indicate spoilage. Shrivelled or flabby should also be avoided as these are signs that the roots are aged, tough and fibrous.

While the quality of the greens does not reflect that of the roots, if you are going to consume this very nutritious part of the plant, look for greens that appear fresh, tender, and have a lively green colour.

Cut the majority of the greens and their stems from the beet roots, so they do not pull away moisture away from the root. Leave about two inches of the stem attached to prevent the roots from “bleeding.” Do not wash beets before storing. Place in a plastic bag and wrap the bag tightly around the beets, squeezing out as much of the air from the bag as possible, and place in refrigerator where they will keep for up to three weeks.

Store the unwashed greens in a separate plastic bag squeezing out as much of the air as possible. Place in refrigerator where they will keep fresh for about four days.

Raw beets do not freeze well since they tend to become soft upon thawing. Freezing cooked beets is fine; they’ll retain their flavour and texture.

When preparing, rinse beets gently under cold running water, taking care not to tear the skin, which helps keep the health-promoting pigments inside.

Since beet juice can stain your skin, wearing kitchen gloves is a good idea when handling beets. If your hands become stained during the cleaning and cooking process, simply rub some lemon juice on them to remove the stain.

Cook beets lightly. Studies show beets’ concentration of phytonutrients, such as betalains, is diminished by heat.

Peel beets by setting them on a cutting board and rubbing the skin off with a paper towel. Wearing kitchen gloves will help prevent your hands from becoming stained.

Beets’ colour can be modified during cooking. Adding an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice or vinegar will brighten the colour while an alkaline substance such as baking soda will often cause them to turn a deeper purple. Salt will blunt beets’ colour, so add only at the end of cooking if needed.

A few quick serving ideas:

— Simply grate raw beets for a delicious and colourful addition to salads or decorative garnish for soups.

— Boil beet greens for one minute for a great tasting side dish, which is very similar to Swiss chard.

— Marinate steamed beets in fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh herbs.

People of Trinidad and Tobago ~ Arin King


The Football Loving Firefighter

“Whenever I had a ball at my feet nothing else in the world mattered, it was my escape. Now that I have grown older football has become my purpose, something I would do to clear my mind, something to put a smile on my face, on the faces of people of my country.

The shy Canada-born defender with Trinidadian parentage (her mother is Trinidadian) is smiling and soaking in her achievement despite her team’s recent World Cup misfortune. Last year a 1-0 loss to Ecuador on local soil denied the Women Soca Warriors a debut showing at the 2015 FIFA Women’s Football World Cup in Canada

“I know the intricacies of competition, you win some and lose some. But sport has taught me so many lessons — discipline, integrity, professionalism,” she informs. Our impromptu interview (her stay in T&T is short but sweet) translates expectedly into football language — pure dribbles, passes and headers.

At the tender age of five she would kick her first ball and by age nine she would be scoring goals for her first club team, Pickering Power coached by Lorraine Clarke.

To be honest I came home one day from school when I was five years old with a flyer and told my parents that I wanted to play football. Surprisingly, they allowed me. Back then it wasn’t a popular sport for women. From the minute I laced up my first pair of cleats, I knew that my life would change. The rest became history. As I grew older I truly fell in love with the game,” King recalls. “I remember my first game like if it were yesterday. I was tall for my age and I was quick. Dribbling was my forte. From sideline to sideline, passing one player, passing a next and goal! I was young though, I scored in my own goal post, I couldn’t distinguish between the two,” the former T&T Under 17 player adds.

“I just recently graduated from Centennial College, Canada where I obtained my certificate for Pre-Service Firefighting. I chose firefighting because it represents courage, compassion and service. Also, to be a firefighter is to be part of a family, they are like your crew.”

“Like your team mates on the football team? I interject, to which she affirms. I see certain qualities illuminate in the shy but composed young woman. She is a team player, she is a people person, and she is one who craves a challenge. “I love to push myself and venture into unchartered territories. Firefighting and football are male dominated arenas, in both realms women are just as capable as men, just because we aren’t as strong doesn’t mean that we are not as deserving,” she declares

“Five years from now I see myself having played in a World Cup, having established a great football resume with a women’s professional team and of course starting a career as a firefighter,” King states.

Have you ever heard the term “eat, sleep, breathe football”? Well these words are my reality. People don’t realise the vision and potential women bring to the pitch. We suffer with lack of funding and preparation because of it. I hope that one of these days my efforts and those of my team mates remove these obstacles. Oh and we will make it to the World Cup the next time around!” she states with strong confidence.
