Road works ongoing by the Division of Infrastructure at the King Peter’s Bay Hill road in Moriah. –

Residents of King Peter’s Bay Hill in Moriah are happy for their new road.

On Wednesday, a press release from the THA Division of Quarries, Infrastructure and Urban Development said the dreams of the residents are well under way, saying, “What was 200 steep steps is now a concrete roadway which extends 400 metres throughout this remote and tranquil community.”

This upgrade, the release said, includes drainage, retaining structures and a turntable at the end of the road. It added that “by mid-December, residents will finally be able to drive their cars into their yards and have access to emergency services, some things they have been deprived of for ages.”

Over the years, residents have clamoured for the rehabilitation of the dilapidated road, as families wishing to access their properties had to walk a long flight of stairs.

One resident, Theophilus Wallace, said he is grateful.

“I didn’t believe we would have got road up here. I didn’t believe at all we would have get road to see car coming up.

“If you sick now, you could call the ambulance, they could come right there and take me up. Some say road cannot come up here. I glad for it and everybody up here glad for it, everybody.”

Hayden Kerr, a resident for over 50 years, said he knows the terrains from “track, to steps, to road.

“The steps were a serious challenge for some of the residents who living up here for most of their lives, because it not easy to walk on steps. We have material to take up the hill, you have foodstuff, you have grocery, you have load to go up this hill – it wasn’t easy.

“I welcome the road. I really, really happy that now we have road.”

Previously, area representative Ian Pollard told Newsday there are 192 steps leading to people’s homes. He said there are about 50 people living in that area and this has been their only option for decades. He had been hoping the steps could be replaced by a road to allow vehicles access.

The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, in an effort to promote a cohesive family environment will host ‘The man, his family and friends’ scavenger hunt in observance of International Men’s Day 2022 on Saturday, November 19, 2022.

The fun-filled event at the Seawall Bandstand is expected to raise awareness on gender roles, shared responsibilities, gender-based violence and other male-related matters.

The activity is open to the general public and must have teams consisting of a minimum of four members but no more than eight members.

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Vindhya Persaud said, “As we celebrate International Men’s Day on Saturday and the world turns it’s attention to celebrating the accomplishments of our men folk in various spheres including as integral part of family and communities. We are also conscious of the need to advance awareness programmes so that more attention can be directed to issues such as fatherhood, shared responsibilities, gender-based violence, addressing social ills including how men deal with conflict, anger management and other empowerment issues, if necessary. How they relate to expectations and stress in their lives, toxic masculinity and many more of these issues.”

Minister Persaud added, “The very creative scavenger hunt, put together by the Ministry for both awareness and participation of men, their families and friends, brings to the forefront, the need for men to have their family bonds and commitments very integral in their lives and by doing this event, it also allows them to learn about the Ministry’s initiatives and programmes that offer support and education. It also affords them an activity that they can do with their family so we look forward to the men coming out in their numbers to participate in the scavenger hunt. We will also be launching another initiative that focuses on men so we are inviting the entire country to come out and support.”

The top three teams will each be treated to dinner at one of the leading restaurants in the country.

The action gets underway from 08.00 hours and registration can be done at https://forms.gle/R4cnFybfzVvqd97r9

Homicide Victim’s Relative Says Justice ‘Lacking’ In Saint Lucia – St. Lucia Times News

A relative of Saint Lucia’s latest homicide victim has bemoaned what he believes is a lack of justice in Saint Lucia.

“To bring people to justice is what we’re really lacking in my point of view,” the relative told reporters.

He spoke on condition of anonymity, describing the situation as a hiccup in the law.

“Unless if it’s a situation where it reaches home to the particular person that is investigating the matter then I mean it would be a situation where it is just a job,” the family member declared.

“The passion that needs to be there for a certain investigation to close or a certain case to close – I don’t believe the passion is there. Everybody looks at it as a job. They come to work and they do the bare minimum. That’s why a lot of these crimes just go unsolved,” he lamented.

The relative spoke on Friday after Maulings Delice of Fond Cannie, Babonneau, succumbed to gunshot injuries on Thursday night.

The deceased’s relative told reporters that people are putting pressure on the police amid the current violent crime wave.

But he asserted that the police alone could not end gun violence.

“We as the people have to come together and do something,” he stated.

“Check all of them crimes and all of them shootings they have going on right now there. It’s like a death pass you give everybody. So it’s okay to kill now I guess. In the minds of people it’s okay to kill because they know if they kill nobody ain’t going to get caught,” the relative told reporters.

According to the information the family member received, the deceased, in his thirties, was on his balcony in Babonneau when a shooter opened fire.

The family member described Delice as a fun-loving, cheerful individual.

“He was a funny person. He knew how to make you laugh,” the relative recalled regarding the father of two.

“He was just enjoying life. He would go out of his way for his family – those he was really close to. He would go out of his way to make them happy and put a smile on their face,” the relative told reporters.

Saint Lucia has recorded 62 homicides this year.

Euro-2022 de hand: soirée noire des Bleues en pleine série “Norge”

La Norvège reste la meilleure équipe du monde annonçait le sélectionneur de l’équipe de France, Olivier Krumbholz, sortie dès les demi-finales de l’Euro-2022 par les championnes d’Europe et du monde (28-20) vendredi à Ljubljana.

Après les finales de l’Euro en 2020 et du Mondial-2021, les Norvégiennes ont une nouvelle éteint un rêve de titre des Bleues qui redescendront dans l’Arena Stozice dimanche (17h45) pour disputer la médaille de bronze au Monténégro.

Herning 2020 et Granollers 2021 ont leur suite: Ljubljana 2022. Une fois encore des créatures du nord sont venues hanter les Bleues, cette année, sans attendre la finale.

Le faux pas des Championnes d’Europe et du monde mercredi face au Danemark (31-29) –qu’elles retrouveront en finale– a précipité avant l’heure sur la route de la bande d’Estelle Nze Minko leurs rivales boréales.

Et s’est répété leur cauchemar récurrent dont la bande son est un clapping exécuté par une foule rouge équipée de clochettes.

La fée du handball a visité les fjords d’où elle s’est penchée sur les berceaux du trio d’arrières norvégiennes: Henny Reistad (5 buts), Nora Mork (8 buts) et Stine Oftedal (7 buts), phénoménale vendredi.

Avant de craquer en fin de match, les championnes olympiques ont contenu leur adversaire défensivement (12-11 à la mi-temps). Mais elles ont tout du long buté, comme l’an passé en Catalogne, sur Silje Solberg (14 arrêts, 41% de tirs arrêtés), à l’image de son double arrêt face à Coralie Lassource et Grace Zaadi, qui les a privées de l’égalisation juste avant la mi-temps.

la démonstration d’Oftedal

Si Cléopâtre Darleux (23%), presque infranchissable depuis le début du tournoi (42% de tirs arrêtés auparavant), a perdu le duel des gardiennes vendredi, c’est surtout la faute de Stine Oftedal.

La demi-centre élue meilleure joueuse du monde en 2019 a arrosé de tirs rasants la Brestoise. A l’image de l’ouverture du score (1-0), comme un symbole, la première fois du tournoi que les Bleues étaient menées.

Passée quatre saisons par Issy-Paris dans le Championnat de France, Oftedal, proche des Bleues, avec lesquelles elle avait fêté le titre olympique de Tokyo sur le terrain, est redevenue leur habituelle bourreau.

Hasard ou pas, celle-ci était absente de leur route aux JO de Tokyo, éliminée en demie par les Russes. Se dessine un commencement de complexe face aux Norvégiennes, invaincues depuis 2017 face aux Françaises et en chasse d’un neuvième titre européen dimanche pour étirer leur record.

C’est la troisième fois en quatre tournois que les tricolores trébuchent quand elles croisent la bande de l’inoxydable Katrine Lunde (42 ans). Même cette dernière, qui pourrait décrocher à titre personnel un sixième championnat d’Europe, a été déterminante pour stopper un penalty de Zaadi permettant aux Bleues de revenir à deux longueurs (20-17) à un quart d’heure de la fin.

La 500e d’Olivier Krumbholz à la tête des Bleues ne restera pas son meilleur souvenir. Reste une médaille à sauver dimanche: un bronze à collectionner pour perpétuer leur série insensée, excepté l’accident de Kumamoto au Mondial-2019, les handballeuses tricolores ne sont jamais revenues bredouilles d’un tournoi depuis les JO-2016.

L’Assemblée Nationale hostile à la réintégration des soignants non-vaccinés

La proposition de loi sur la réintégration des soignants non-vaccinés a été rejetée en Commission des affaires sociales. Elle sera tout de même à l’ordre du jour de l’Assemblée nationale, le jeudi 24 novembre prochain.

Cette semaine, les députés réunis en Commission des affaires sociales ont rejeté la proposition de loi visant à « réintégrer le personnel des établissements de santé et de secours non-vacciné ». Les députés du groupe Renaissance, soutien du gouvernement, ont voté contre le premier article de la proposition de loi. Le positionnement de ces élus est fidèle aux choix répétés et explicites du ministre de la Santé, François Braun : le gouvernement estime qu’il s’agit d’un problème « qui ne concerne qu’une minorité » et ne doit pas focaliser les débats sur la situation de l’hôpital.

Une proposition pas tout à fait abandonnée

Déposée par le groupe d’opposition de gauche, La France Insoumise (LFI) et co-signée par de nombreux élus ultramarins, antillais et guyanais, cette proposition de loi prévoit « un protocole sanitaire renforcé » pour le personnel non-vacciné. Le texte souligne, dans son exposé des motifs, que « la situation est particulièrement dramatique dans les Outre mer. »

Malgré son rejet en commission, le texte sera tout de même à l’ordre du jour de l’Assemblée nationale, le jeudi 24 novembre prochain, lors de la journée réservée aux propositions du groupe LFI. Il est toutefois important de noter que cette proposition de loi est la cinquième du groupe et que l’examen des textes est limité de 9h à minuit. Les autres textes soumis à l’examen des députés – et notamment une proposition de loi sur la protection animale qui prévoit d’interdire les corridas – mais concerne aussi potentiellement les combats de coq – risquent fort de monopoliser les débats.
