LETTER: The ABLP Administration LIES & Deception on Olivers Village Water Access/Housing Project

Dear Editor, 

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda announced that 12 houses have been completed in Oliver’s out of the 600 homes planned for that area. I live very nearby to the said housing project. I drove to the area where the houses are being built behind of LICS Ltd on All Saints Road yesterday afternoon. 

When I reached and walked the whole area on foot of the housing project, NONE of the houses were completed. I counted 9 houses the walls are coming up from the foundation and also, they were not plastered or painted and they were without windows. The other 3 homes to be constructed are at the foundation stated with the foundation not even casted, they seemed in the process of laying steel, putting in plumbing and laying electrical pipes. 

Furthermore, I noticed that there ALOT more cisterns covered with grass than houses in the foundation state or with the walls coming up from the foundation. I would also like to mention  that in Renfrews we cannot get Government water because this government lied to the people of Olivers at the start of the year in the first Cabinet notes telling them be prepared to experience inconvenience because they are going to be digging up the the roads to lay pipes in that area, and I have driven up to that area where Mr. Wehner did a video by that BIG BLACK TANK in Buckley’s/Olivers and other areas of the Village, and there are no pipes or any digging in that area to lay pipes to give those people a basic human right access to government water. The BIG BLACK TANK on the hill was to gravity feed that area along with Renfrews and the surrounding communities, and to this day nothing has been done.  

I say all this to say the people of this country, NEVER, EVER, BELIEVER, ANYTHING, these people in our government have to say. All they do is tell lies because they know most of the people very gullible and put election handouts before themselves. I advise the people of this country to go and do their own research and see things for themselves before believing anything these LIARS put in their Cabinet notes or announce to the people of this country. 

I am absolutely fed up of Gaston Browne and his LYING cohorts and it is time for a change in the country. 

Alfred,

Disgusted Citizen

The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) outlet at the Giftland Mall, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown was on Thursday evening robbed by two armed men posing as security officers. The men escaped with $13,420,487 in cash and $6,015,524 in cheques.

The robbery reportedly occurred at about 21:45h by the two men who were dressed in the uniform used by a private security service that usually uplifts money from the outlet when it closes.

However, on the day in question, a 27-year-old employee explained that she and five other staff members were on duty, when the two suspects, wearing face masks fully dressed in the said security uniforms, approached her and checked the bags with the cash as per normal.

One of the suspects then went outside to the other staff members and brandished a handgun at them.

They were reportedly instructed to lie on the floor and without hesitation, they complied.

The other suspect who was in the supervisor’s room took out a handgun from the waist of his pants and also instructed her to go on the floor.

The suspects duct-taped the mouths of the staffer and locked them in the booth. The perpetrators then took the said cash mentioned, exited through a back door, made their way into the parking lot, entered a white Raum, and made good their escape.

A short while after, the staff members managed to free themselves and an alarm was raised but by that time the suspects had already left the scene. Several persons were questioned and statements were taken as investigations continue.

Castries Mayor Geraldine Lendor-Gabriel has called on the local private sector to invest in security cameras to help in the battle against crime.

“If I had anything to say to the private sector, I would tell them that they have to invest in cameras and surveillance equipment,” the Major told St Lucia Times.

“It must be done because it is the only way that we can capture the information that we need and monitor the City on a twenty-four hour basis,” Landor-Gabriel stated.

She indicated that the battle against crime is not the sole responsibility of the police.

And regarding investing in surveillance equipment, the Major asserted that the expense would be lower than the loss incurred due to a break-in.

“Sometimes damage to a door is much more costly than what it takes to install a camera. In fact we have been speaking to our vendors about investing in small cameras on their facilities,” Lendor-Gabriel disclosed.

She made the remarks while acknowledging a gift of nine bulletproof vests from Blue Waters St. Lucia Ltd to the City Police.

The Mayor said the Castries Constituency Council (CCC) was reaching out to the local private sector to partner in making the Saint Lucia capital a safer place.

Le Lycée Schœlcher, après 1902 : de la Caserne Bouillé à l’édifice du morne Abeilard (2/3)

Le Lycée Shcoelcher, après 1902

Après l’éruption de la montagne Pelée le 8 mai 1902, un arrêté local du 15 septembre 1902 décide le transfert à Fort-de-France du Lycée Schoelcher, dans les locaux de l’Externat colonial qui se trouvent à la Caserne Bouillé. La nécessité va se faire de plus en plus sentir d’avoir de nouveaux locaux pour faire travailler les lycéens dans de meilleures conditions. Le 28 avril 1916, paraît un arrêté instituant une commission chargée de rechercher les moyens d’installer définitivement le Lycée Schœlcher. En 1937, après bien des atermoiements, le lycée que nous avons connu avant les nouveaux bâtiments de cette rentrée 2022, ouvrait enfin ses portes.

« Quant à nos enfants, à ces petits nègres et à ces petits mulâtres, ils auront l’enseignement congréganiste à leur disposition, ou alors, ils retourneront conduire les mules sur les grandes propriétés, besogne pour laquelle, ils ont été créés et mis au monde, n’est-ce pas ? (…) ».

Dans le numéro du mardi 9 décembre 1902 du journal L’Opinion (1), un père de famille ne cachait pas sa colère dans une “lettre ouverte” titrée « Pour le Lycée, pitié pour nos enfants », adressée au nouveau…
