Works at Jetrine underway

Works are presently on the way in the lower part of Jetrine where a drain and road resurfacing is being done. The work is approximately 100m long.Before the drain was constructed runommunity thus affecting many homes there.

This work is timely as we approach the huricane season. Thinking about it,the residents must have gotten a big relief from tropical storm Emily.

Speaking with a few of the residents,they are qiute pleased with this project as it brings emplyment in a small way to some of them. They also mentioned their satisfaction with the playing field. they are also hoping that a little more should be done in the community. this I hope will be done soon.

Emily - the latest TS

I am in bed and, oops, a bright lightning flash. Seconds after this, a rumbling sound that seems to be removing the galvanize on my humble house. Another flash, and I started to count (an old trick I taught my students to determine whether a thunderstorm is approaching or going away) one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three....one thousand eight, then the thunder. Another flash. One thousand one, one thousand two,.....one thousand six, and then the rumblings......the thunderstorm is approaching. And as I continue to write the flashes and rumblings are coming in fast and furious.
Why all this? Tropical storm Emily was formed in the Atlantic sometime last night and as of 5:00 am this morning was 15.5 degrees N and 64.00 degrees W. It continues to move westward at 16 mph with 40 mph winds and as it moves there is little change in strength.
What is Choiseul's and by extention St.Lucia's interest in Emily? The storm is a large one and we will continue to receive heavy showers and thunderstorms. All precautions must be taken to avoid loss of life and property.

Flooding and landslides are the hazards to watch out for.
I have always been an advocate of property insurance, but our people seems to have developed some sort of phobia towards these companies, not to mention the recent collapse of Clico and British American. Some serious education is needed in this area.
The CCU must be complimented for introducing an insurance property package to its valued customers. (your humble servant is a recpient of this plan) Well done! The Management and staff of this institution mus be commended.
Finally, my Rotweiller is astraphobic so I had to blindfold her and fit her ear plugs.(Lol) My pitbull is kool.
Please play it safe today and pretty soon the effects of the storm will go away. Looking a a seven-day forecast, rain is predicted for the whole week with a break on Saturday.

CRIERS, CRITICS AND PROPAGANDISTS

The campaign fever in the Constituency has brought out in the open a new breed of persons never before thought to have existed among us. I have been taken aback by the nonsensical comments, whimperings and pure blah, blah, not to mention the irresponsible statements which a spewed all over the place.
Is there a purpose for this? Sure. These so called elites (so they think) of this Constituency, are bent on bringing down with their cries, criticisms and untruths, anyone who does not support their cause.....to have Lorne win his seat.

Some persons on the opposite side must be commended for their total dissatisfaction of the level of debate being rolled out by Lorne's campaign crew......it's distasteful,filled with unfounded statements,maypwis and its only aim is pure character assassination. In a nutshell, Lorne's campaign manager and team espouses propaganda. Is Lorne part of this? Beware the Ides of October!
Will Bousquet's crew respond in kind? Not a snowball chance in hell. This crew lives by the adage, ''What you sow, that you shall surely reap.''

It is so pathetic to hear the supporters of Labour (Choiseul) complain, and make silly comments to the effects that these projects are for winning votes. If this be the case, well Lorne should get zero votes because he is doing nothing and has done nothing for the constituency.

Can you believe that the worst rep Choiseul has ever had, Forgetus John, has even joined in the fray. Forgetus should be held to ransom for the plight he has placed the Choiseul fishermen in. It was under his stewardship that this poorly designed fisheries complex was constructed. Webby should take his scalp for this.
Does Lorne and Forgetus have any thing in common? Two things for sure: they both have violent tendencies and secondly on has Theophilus as his first name whereas the other has it as his last name......coincidence? Your guess. (mem bet mem pwell)

Under Bousquet's tenure thus far we have seen the landsape of the constituency drastically changed. It has been through projects sponsored by SSDF, Taiwanese Government, Ministry of Works and to some extent Bousquet's personal funds. What is deliberately being mischief on the part of Lorne's cronies, is that these projects have no connections to Rufus. How naieve of these propagandists?
It has been Rufus' constant pressure on these agencies to have these projects done.
Lamaze is a typical example...... It was an election promise to the people. The playing fields are for the youth. Are these cronies saying that these projects are not neccessary? Should these projects be left behind to please these persons who apparently do not have the interest of the constituency at heart? No way! Progress will go on unabated.

About the propagandists, their stories are frighteningly alarming. Do these so called christians have a conscience? It's amazing what some people do and say at the detriment to others to gain a vote.
It is of great interest to note that the author of this blog's rival allow so much smut, untruths, unfounded allegations and maypwis in his posts. Why? What manner of a so called ''educated matter'' is this animal?
This author has brought down the level of debate during this election campaign to maypwis and gutter politics. Does he have a personal life? Just a thought. In my personal opinion he is just a chicken.(keep quacking you blob)

In closing, let it be abundantly clear that this blog does not intend to smear any person's name in its subsequent posts.
But let it be quite clear we will not chicken out of any malicious or vindictive statements on Rufus Bousquet.
The people's voice will be heard soon and that will be the answer to Lorne's

BE FORWARNED !

Roblot Road Slippage Works Underway

Residents of Roblot and La Maze are pleased to see the commencement of a project to construct a wide-based retaining wall to alleviate the problem which a huge landslide created almost two years ago.
Almost have of the road was carried away by the slide thus making the usage of this section of the road very precarious.

Over forty workers are involved in this $250,000.00 project.
This road slippage has been a major concern to motorists as well as pedestrian. This project had to be delayed up to this time because according to a Ministry Official, the groung was very unsteady and a proper base had to be established.

Throughout the constituency, a number of projects are presently going on. There is the upgrading of the Balca field, the construction of a new field in Park Estate and the rehabilitation of the Fiette/Morne Sion Road.

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

Over two thousand students sat the Common Entrance Examinations this year. There were sounds of joy, regrets and disappointment when they got their results on July 14, 2011.... some got their first choice school while others had to settle for second or third choices. Still, a few could not get a choice place.
This blog has not done its rounds yet to bring its readers the top passes in the constituency as well as the school rankings. This will be done soon.
However one thing remains certain. The top student from each primary school will receive a laptop computer. Bousquet has religiously done so over the past four years.
Two more categories may be on the cards this year for consideration. The two top students from the constituency with CXC passes from Choiseul and Piaye Secondary Schools may be considered for prizes.
A catergory soon to be placed on the cards is 'Choiseul's Teacher of the Year' the details and criteria are being refined.
The presentation ceremony for this year's awards is slated for mid August 2011.
Beyond any shadow of a doubt, Bousquet has placed over twenty-eight laptops in the hands of students from his constituency.
And a number of scholarships are still pending to be disbursed.
