En 1937, le lycée Schœlcher accueillait ses premiers élèves externes, en attendant les internes à la rentrée de 1938. Puis vinrent la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, le régime de Vichy et l’amiral Robert, l’occupation partielle du lycée par l’armée. A l’après-guerre, le lycée colonial devenait lycée national de garçons, continuait à se développer jusqu’aux années 70 pour ne recevoir que les élèves de seconde, première et terminale. De nombreuses étapes pour l’« institution », et de nombreux souvenirs pour bien des générations de Martiniquais.

«A la rentrée d’octobre 1939, la guerre venait d’être déclarée. J’avais 16 ans, Aimé Césaire en avait 26. Ses études terminées, il rentrait en Martinique pour enseigner au Lycée Schœlcher. Il a été notre tout jeune professeur principal de français, latin et grec, en 1ère AA’. Il était très souriant avec une énorme serviette dans laquelle il mettait tous ses documents. Nous avons tout de suite vu que nous avions devant nous un professeur brillant. Les cours suivants n’ont…

Incivilités aux abords de la Maison des syndicats à Fort-de-France

La Maison des syndicats souffre depuis plusieurs années déjà d’une dégradation du bâti dénoncée par les organisations syndicales. Ces dernières sont confrontées à une autre difficulté : les actes de vandalisme et les incivilités régulièrement perpétrées autour de la structure.

Hier matin, les abords du site offraient un triste spectacle : déchets répandus à terre, plots en béton enlevés du sol, traces de feu allumé sur le parking… 

« Sécuriser le site »

« Depuis plusieurs années, un sans domicile fixe s’est installé à l’entrée du bâtiment et il dégrade tout, déplore Bertrand Cambusy, secrétaire général de la CSTM. Ce matin (hier), on ne pouvait pas entrer. La barrière d’entrée était bloquée. Un jour, il finira par pénétrer dans le bâtiment car des portes ont été abîmées ». Le leader syndical explique, par ailleurs, que les organisations syndicales sont contraintes de nettoyer la zone, le SDF « dispersant des ordures dans le parking ». Face à cette situation qui risque de dégénérer, le responsable syndical appelle les autorités à « sécuriser le site, en construisant un autre mur par exemple. »

Dans les périodes plus animées au plan politique ou culturel, nos élèves ont montré leur volonté de donner aux différents établissements un organe de liaison tout à fait indépendant, véritable produit de leur cru, reflet de leur vie de lycéens.

Malheureusement, nous devions déplorer chaque fois le caractère éphémère des journaux nés dans la fièvre, puis vite disparus dans l’indifférence presque totale.

Chick-fil-A Worker Who Foiled Alleged Carjacking Attempt (Video: Credit: Molly Kelner via Storyful via AP)

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has praised the courage of a Chick-fil-A worker in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, US, who they said came to the aid of a woman with a baby to foil an alleged carjacking attempt on Wednesday.

In a video by Molly Kelner, the worker, Mykel Gordon, can be seen wrestling the suspect, in a gray T-shirt, as the woman stands by holding the child.

A bystander then shouts: “She had a baby in her hands, how dare you! How dare you scare her like that!”

Kelner told Storyful that the suspect was escorted out of the Chick-fil-A “by a manager”. She said he then “turned around and started running toward this woman right after he was kicked out.”

She said he tried to get her car keys, but “wasn’t trying to hit her”.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said 43-year-old William Branch had been charged with carjacking with a weapon and battery.

They saluted the bravery of the employee in a Facebook post, where they also thanked Kelner for providing the footage.

Shenseea Spits Busta Rhymes Iconic “Look At Me” Verse With Ding Dong – Watch

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

Shenseea nailed Busta Rhymes verse on Chris Brown’s “Look At Me” like its her own.

The Jamaican artist has been rising up the ranks in music, and her Funk Flex freestyle has shown that she is a cut above the rest with her lyrics, but it seems that the dancehall deejay’s good listening skills are also top-tier. In a video shared on Instagram, Shenseea spits perhaps what is Busta Rhymes most iconic verse. The verse is from Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now,” with Busta and Lil Wayne, where both rappers bodied the track.

“Tell me why did I let my friends put me up to do this,” she said, laughing as she tagged fellow Romeich Entertainment artist Ding Dong and Busta Rhymes. “Istg imma go catch this verse,” she added.

Busta Rhymes reacted to the video with a series of laughing emojis. While the verse was rapped so speedily, it’s impressive that Shenseea could follow along with the rapper as the lyrics on paper and the lyrics in sound do not resemble. Busta Rhymes’ style of rap is also unique to him in the hip-hop space, as not many rappers can spit a verse the way he does. The 2011 song has been certified platinum by the RIAA, and “Look At Me” music video currently has over 550 million views on YouTube.

Meanwhile, Shenseea has been booked and busy as she recently performed at Rolling Loud Canada and was recently spotted performing in France. The artist’s stage performance in France was electric, and that was reciprocated by fans who sang her songs along.

Sharing her fire orange fit from France with stones mimicking water drops, Shenseea wrote, “Paris, Pop in, Pop out!”

The Jamaican singer has been having one of the best years in her career following the release of her debut album, Alpha, earlier this year. The project received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike and further cemented Shenseea as one of the greatest female Jamaican artists of all time. Since dropping off the project, she has been touring almost nonstop, including a packed summer schedule with shows in Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, and the US. In between her tour dates, she also finds time to record new music for her sophomore album, due sometime next year.

Ex-SWRHA chair: Bigger issues at San Fernando hospital than gauze shortage

The San Fernando General Hospital.

Even though the South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA) has denied that the San Fernando General Hospital has a gauze shortage, a former SWRHA chairman has said many people are complaining about having to buy basic medical supplies.

A statement from Dr Lackram Bodoe on Thursday said while the SWRHA had tried to reassure the public that there is no shortage of gauze and other supplies, many people say otherwise.

“Many citizens continue to complain of having to purchase basic items, including drugs and supplies for their loved ones who are patients at our public health facilities,” Bodoe said.

“These items are usually procured under a budget line item termed ‘Drugs and Supplies’ under the Ministry of Health’s ‘Goods and Services’ allocation. Since 2018 there has been a significant cut in this budgeted line item.”

On Tuesday, a statement from the SWRHA said there was no shortage, as adequate supplies were in stock and being distributed on request to clinical areas as needed.

The SWRHA made the statement in light of a question directed to Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh about service delivery at the hospital.

Bodoe said, “The explanation given to the Parliament was that the difference would have been supplemented via a loan to NIPDEC to procure these supplies.”

“The question is, therefore, whether this shortage of supplies is due to lack of funding, or whether there are shortcomings in the internal supply chain system within the Ministry of Health and the regional health authorities.”

The Fyzabad MP added that shortage of gauze and wound-dressing materials is an issue.

But there is the bigger problem of doctors having to cancel or defer surgery because of shortages of other items such as anaesthetic drugs and surgical supplies.

“This situation places an increasing burden on patients awaiting eye, joint and kidney- stone operations amongst other surgical procedures,” the opposition MP said.

“The Minister of Health needs to do more to address the long surgical waiting lists created during the pandemic when large numbers of non-urgent surgeries were postponed.”

He referred to a newspaper article on people’s view of the shortage claims, and bashed the Government.

“I trust the allocation for the health sector in the upcoming budget will be sufficient to treat with the shortage of basic supplies plaguing the public health facilities.

“Additionally, the Health Minister needs to implement innovative systems and solutions to deal with the excessive waiting times and long waiting lists that continue to frustrate citizens seeking healthcare in our public institutions.”

The SWRHA has said it continues to provide care with compassion and competence and will not compromise on patient safety.

It called on its “valued patients and clients” to use its customer service centre at 87-SWRHA (877-9742) to ask about any healthcare-related matters.

Dr Abdool-Richards: HR managers were key in covid fight

PHOTO BY AYANNA KINSALE –

PRINCIPAL Medical Officer Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards is calling on organisations to look differently at their human resource teams as she said they were key in the national fight against covid19.

She also called for more collaboration among HR professionals to ensure there are safe spaces and a community of support for people in workplaces.

Speaking at the annual Conference of Human Resource Managers, Richards said HR managers were key in the fight against the virus, being part of many strategies and policies put in place to fight the virus.

“Our HR practitioners are tasked with finding ingenious solutions to help employees cope with the complexities that were brought around by this extraordinary health crisis.

“There was no timeline, there was a lot of uncertainty; they are now the ones who have to look at the corporate guidelines and speak to corporate communications. They would have to do that on a Saturday evening and get it out by Monday morning,” Abdool-Richards said.

She added that HR managers had to show strategic ability and resilience during the pandemic, but they were managing with trauma and stress long before covid19.

She said they were the people who dealt with industrial relations personnel and had to bring bad news about incentive packages and restructuring exercises.

HR professionals also had to liaise with employees with regard to upskilling and retraining, which Abdool-Richards said was in itself, a challenge especially during the pandemic.

She said HR managers dealt with multiple categories of leave, employees who were afraid or uncertain about the spread of the virus especially at times where they may be exposed, mental health, burnout and other psychological issues.

The medic asked: “Who is really there to support HR managers? Who collaborates with them?”

“Our HR practitioners had to absorb all these emotions but they have relatives who had covid too; their children also had to undergo remote or online schooling. Yet they still came out and risked being exposed to keep our organisations running.”

She said the pandemic gave corporations a chance to revise its human resource policies and communicate better with staff.

“We need to think differently about your HR team,” Abdool Richards said. “What support do they need? Do they feel safe? Is there a safe space for them to come and speak with you, to say ‘I am tired. I need a break.’ Because HR managers did not get much vacation. We need to do collaborative research, we need to create a safe space within our organisations and we need to build a community of support.”
