Members of the Lydians Choir sing at the funeral of publicist, marketing strategist, singer and mentor Janine Charles-Farray, during her funeral at All Saints Anglican Church, Port of Spain on Monday. – Angelo Marcelle

While she is best known for her talent as a member of the Lydians Chorale and work as a solo singer, friends, relatives and colleagues of late songstress Janine Charles-Farray also took the time to recognise her work as an advocate for the local creative arts sector.

Charles-Farray, 39, died on October 1.

Since her death, various creative arts and cultural bodies have extended their condolences, celebrating her dedication to the performing arts.

During Charles-Farray’s funeral at the All Saints Anglican Church, Queen’s Park West, on Monday, long-time friend and colleague Rachael Collymore said one of her most endearing qualities was her passion for the arts.

She noted that Charles-Farray was not content to simply participate or spectate in various artforms but would do her best to push for wider acceptance and appreciation.

She noted that while her passion for creativity would lead her to make blunt criticism of some work, she did so out of love for the artform and the need to see others excel.

“She (Charles-Farray) also spoke about making amends with people who she may have offended, having written to some of those who simply did not like what she had to say in her critique of a performance, music, film, fashion, animation and so forth.

“On this I say, many were fortunate that Janine cared enough to offer her unbiased, objective views, not to pull down but to lift up in the pursuit of greatness because she believed in our gift, our talent and creativity while downplaying her own greatness and art history.

“For as long as I knew her, Janine did not like to call herself an artist, instead she elevated herself as a passionate advocate for the creative performing arts and the creative industries.”

Charles-Farray worked as a publicist and marketing strategist and served in management positions for several groups including the Board of the Caribbean School of Dancing, the Trinidad Performing Arts Network and the TT Animation Network.

Outside of her professional commitments, Collymore said she remembered Charles-Farray as a devoted daughter who valued her mother, Marva Charles.

During his homily, officiating priest Rev Richard Jacob said he was shocked to hear about Charles-Farray’s death, as her grandmother had recently passed away before her.

He said while it was natural to feel grief about her passing, he reminded mourners that Charles-Farray tirelessly pursued her passions.

Recalling hearing her sing in person, Jacob said Charles-Farry invested herself fully in every performance and urged mourners to emulate her passion and desire for excellence.

“When Janine stepped on the stage for Lydians, in that moment she would put her everything into that moment and leave it all there for us to sit and wonder.

“That doesn’t happen just like that. That comes from a place of love, from a place where you understand this is the thing God gave you to do and that this is the thing you would express your honour and glory to God in that moment.

“And so we are weeping now because we won’t get to see Janine, but Janine faithfully served her God, faithfully shared her love, faithfully lived her life, so we should really consider that some of those tears are for us as we come behind, but knowing Janine as I do, not even that she would want us to be doing.”

To honour Charles-Farray’s love for the performing arts and her alma mater of Bishops Anstey High School, choir members performed the school song Non Nobis Domine and her colleagues in the Lydians Chorale performed the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.

Commuters board a deluxe PTSC bus servicing the San Fernando to Port of Spain route at the PTSC King’s Wharf terminal. FILE PHOTO –

THE size of the PTSC bus fleet will be doubled, vowed Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan as he answered MPs’ questions during the examination of budget 2023 documents at the Standing Finance Committee of the House of Representatives on Monday. Couva North MP Ravi Ratiram had sought details of the fleet, and of management vacancies, the latter details which remained pending.

Sinanan said the PTSC fleet now stood at 385 buses, of which 244 were operational. Of the 385, some 141 buses were in some stage of maintenance while 21 needed to be disposed of, he said. The minister admitted to logistical challenges with obtaining parts and with shipping. Sinanan said the PTSC now has 24 different types of buses each requiring their own parts, even as he hoped to rationalise the fleet down to 2-3 types.

He said the PTSC will buy 300 more buses, electrical buses, as he aimed to bring the fleet to a total of 550 working buses. “We have 100 more buses than in 2016,” he taunted the Opposition.

While Sinanan boasted of the PTSC servicing 79 routes, St Augustine MP Khadijah Ameen said certain routes had been discontinued. Tabaquite MP Anita Haynes agreed, citing routes from Tabaquite to Piparo and San Fernando.

Ratiram querried a $5 million allocation which Sinanan said was for the computerised tracking of buses and to help passengers make e-payments. Ratiram said the PTSC had already fitted their buses with GPS, linked to software, and asked if that initiative had been discontinued. Sinanan said the newer initiative was a much more developed system to have customers buy tickets online and be more welcomed.

He promised a “total expansion” of the bus service, once the PTSC fleet totalled over 500 buses.

Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal recalled some $500 million spent under the Patrick Manning administration on a rapid rail survey and warned that a budget allocation for a national transport study must not become a “rapid rail number two”.

On the Port Authority, Sinanan said a $1 million allocation was for a consultant to assist with the Government’s intended private-public partnership initiative to run the Port of Port of Spain.

Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh asked if a $37 million allocation for salary and COLA at the Port Authority was for the 2014-2017 period, and had an agreement for that period been made. Sinanan initially said it was for 2014-2017 but backed off from giving assurances, saying the CPO had not signed off on any deal.

Finance Minister Colm Imbert said the matter was under review and likely sub judice. Sinanan said the Government subsidised 80 per cent of the “very expensive” inter-island ferry service, and spent US$16,200 per day on the Cabo Star, a cargo vessel.

Both Ratiram and Indarsingh pointed out deadly hazards on the Solomon Hochoy Highway, iron protruding dangerously at oncoming drivers and “the largest pothole in TT” at Exchange Junction into which five cars plunge each day on average, said the MP.

On the Airport Authority’s (AA’s) budget accounts, Sinanan said some higher allocations this year came after previous lockdowns due to covid19. “The airport is now ramping up.” Imbert chimed in to say the Government had financially assisted the AA and Caribbean Airlines (CAL) during the lockdown time. Indarsingh asked if a $14 million allocation for repairs would include airport scanners, to which Sinanan confirmed the budget covered this equipment.

Sinanan said if the government uses more Lake Asphalt products that company’s future will be in good hands, replying to Indarsingh’s query about possible privatisation. He gave updates on the San Fernando Waterfront project, Diego Martin overpass and the Moruga fish port which he said was 50-60 per cent complete.
