Passing Stranger Saves Roblot's Small Karbarway From a Fire!

Many visitors to the quiet and peaceful community of Roblot have often labeled its residents as “fowls” for the mere fact that once it is between 7:00pm -8:00pm, you may not see a soul on the street. Hmmm, don’t fool yourself though, because there are eyes everywhere! Many are peeking behind their window blinds ever checking out what is going on outside throughout the night.

This must have been the case with Eutellie, a middle-aged lady, who at about 2:00am this morning came out  in the street, with her head tied  and shouting “Difey, difey mamai la!” repeatedly to alert residents of a fire after she was informed  of a fire at a nearby refreshment house (Karbarway).

This shop’s owner who  lives in Sauzay, about 2km away, was immediately alerted while the Fire Service Station in Vieux Fort was being informed of the fire.

Speaking to Eutellie she informed me that she saw the brightness and thought of a fire but dismissed the idea. It was almost momentarily she heard banging at the shop and then a stranger, came knocking at her door and informed her that he was driving passed and saw the shop on fire that her suspicion came to fruition.

Luckily that stranger called Dunstan is an electrician. Eutellie said that the building was already smoking heavily when Dunstan suspecting it is an electrical fire, ripped off the electrical cord connecting the shop to the LUCELEC’s mains from the building.

Thank God! Thanks to Dunstan’s expertise which saved the day. He surely deserves a reward.

The Fire Service truck arrived about 45 minutes later when all was already taken care of. Upon inspection it is alleged that among other items the shop’s refrigerators were damaged, the counter, shelves and roof charred.

Roblot Combined School to Stage "Stop The Violence Against Children" Pageant Show.

https://www.facebook.com/roblot.combined?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser 

the Roblot Combined School FaceBook page has recently been showing lots of activity and I would presume the same when school reopens next week,when the staff  will be putting the final touches to their big upcoming event - Miss Roblot Combined 2018.

Its a new concept which the new principal Vern Charles has introduced as she strives to uplift the school. The school in the past was noted for its calypso shows which attracted hundreds of patrons throughout the district. This endeavour I am positive will be well attended.

Before I delve into the upcoming pageant I must add here, that the school under its new boss has been doing exceptionally well academically:-

• Won District 7 Science Quiz
• Won the  National Science Quiz in District 7
• Performed at the National School's Music Competition, but this is for another show.
• Great improvement in Common Entrance results
