Mothers's Day?

Happy Mothers's Day to all that feel they are entitled for such an honour.
Guys, this is a prestige we owe to the person who gave us life and in some form or the other in a small way have us be what we have become today.
Thank you, Mom for carrying me for this crucial nine months. Send a small hello in whatever form.
This blog urges you to do so.
I would be happy if we could incorpoate the achievement of women in the district during this celebrations. All groups are so hyped.
Should it be a time to booze up, should it be a time to get away of the slavery mentality so often imposed by us men, should it be a time to take a fling, should it be a time to make a promise after months of pressure, should it not be a time to say enough is enough, should it not be time to stop the abuse, and finally should it not be a time to just let go regardless of the consequences?
Ladies, Moms you decide.
On this note our District Rep, calling from overseas has asked this blog to convey a special Mothers' Day Greetings to all Mothers in the Constituency. He also wants to tell Mothers that these are serious times and that they should continue to take the austerity measures that has kept this district
a well loved and repected community.
To my mind, this day should be given more recognition to expose our women. How? I en Know. Just kidding.
You know, there are dedicated and ego driven women in this district. Regardless of the political divide they can make 'Mothers' Day' in Choiseul a Big ting.
But you know what ' De politiks killin dem'
What a sad state of affairs? Will this ever change? Next year, let's have a 'Choiseul's Mother Of The Year'. No politriks.
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY

Are the Choiseul Labour Campaign Crew and Supporters Rufusophobic?

From the time Brian Charles entered the political fray, when I then got deeply involved in politics, I have never been so amazed by the tactics of the opposite side. Both sides did their thing and no one was actually showing any form of animosity towards supporters of either side. We were in the past days sitting in shops and argue each other over drinks, and, not at any time touch each other's personal life inspite of not being too sober sometimes. Where is this comradry? Not anymore. Selfish political intentions have driven it out of the window. God forbid.
These days if a supporter of either side (more so with Labour supporters, because I know so) were to get into some form of argument or more so disagree on some issue, right away a person's personal business would be on the line. And mind you it is also being done by those who should know better. (also by some known comment writers to this blog. Yes this blog) Why is this so? I know, and will touch on it here and more deeply in future posts.

This attitude trancends from the time the the political environment in the constituency was in a three cornered fight...Uwp, Slp, and Plp. It was a dog eat dog scenario especially from the Plp camp. The mentality that was being portryed was, ' you not voting for me, you en my friend.'

This mind bending philosophy became entrenched in our people's mind ,more evident than ever during the 1997 campaign. Hence the reasons for all this
'negre maroon' attitude so vividly displayed all over the constituency today while the instigators of this crippling disease sit back and silenly regard these people as 'wood for the fire' to flame their crooked and egoistic political ambitions.
Yes, the so called intellects in Choiseul have imported it from Kenny, Pierre and the radical factions of the SLPl and our people have bought it wholesale.

Fergy's cronies we particularly, guilty of such practices and I am seeing it creeping into this campaign worst than ever. Fergy is the worst MP Choiseul has ever seen and I dare say will ever see. You figure out why. He continue to be involved in every kind disruptive behaviour. Remember his incident with @bousquet at a funeral in the Village? Mista en changing. And mind you ,he is still associated with Lorne's campaign. What madness!
Why is Bousquet's personal life the centre of campaign now, why are petty little issues about the man posted on a blog, why is there an all out campaign to destroy the man's character, why is he being branded as having all types of sicknesses, why are some supporters being paid to stand on platforms and spew dogshit to their own supporters, why is Bousquet so feared? Questions, Questions, Questions. And there are many more.
But I know, and you know that I know, you know why all this hogshit posts and propaganda aims to do and wants to achieve..... Divide Choiseul, bigtime and create an environment almost like a mini civil revolution. The communist thing again.
Choiseulians are not very educated, but for sure have a lot of common sense, so says Maurus.
You know them, the hacks on the other side even attack me personally, as if they are getting some satisfaction doing this. I have maintained my kool, never to be distracted and never once hit back....guess dem fellas are scared of Dedan big time. I'm only getting started, don't push your luck.
Finally, are the Labour crew and supporters RUFUSOPHOBIC? Fulltime !!!!!!!!!!!
You guys will pay dearly for your lies, deceit and the conning of the innocent youths in this constituency.
I oncehad a chat with Lorne and he told me, 'I believe in Karma.' As if he thinks I am so daft as not to know where he is coming from. But hear this, he started the war. if there is ever to be one, when in his inauguration speech at the Old Boys' School he said, 'I have never stolen a car.' Parwol jaytae? In his own words , Karma. Is he also Rufusophobic? Yours to answer.

Did God Put A Hand?

it was 5:43pm when my cell rang, 'Dada, Mamam and Feria go down the valley in Pon Bamboo, and we cannot even see the car. Come down.' Maintaining a kool head replied, 'Ok.'
In a matter of minutes I was in Pon Bamboo. To my surprise there was no one there.....the accident was just above the shop at the Three-cross Road.

Looking down the track which the car made on its way down the precipice, it would be hard to imagine that there were any survivors.The vehicle went down one hundred plus metres, somersaulting, until it came to a crashing halt on its hood at the river bed. There were three ladies inside the car during this tumulutous journey down this precipice. What was going on in their heads? Them alone can tell.
How the car got to take this path is still beyond me. But it is worth finding out why the car went completely on the other side of the road to plunge itself into this predicament?
After the car came to a crashing halt there was complete silence. One of the ladies who was more oriented, got out and helped the other two ladies who were trapped the overturned vehicle to get out.

By then ambulances from Soufriere and Vieux Fort were already summoned. The paramedics had to find an alternative route to reach the victims.

The paramedics had to get to the victims through the Devil's Bridge route which is some three hundred metres from where the car took its strange route.
By then, the La Fargue-Rivere Doree road was jammed with parked vehicles and onlookers anxiously awaiting the fate of the three ladies.

It must have taken the paramedics about forty-five minutes to get the victims from the crash scene to the ambulances.
The most injured victim of this accident sustained a broken left wrist,concussion to the head,severe shoulder and chest pains and pain to the lower extremities, whereas

the other two persons suffered minor injuries.
They were all treated and discharged the same day from St. Jude's Hospital
A plunge of over one hundred metres, a car rolling and tumbling down a gradient of about seventy-five degrees, eventually falling over a cliff about fifteen metres deep, and then the car landing on its hood - that's all that happened to the ladies?
God must have really played a hand!

Labour's Campaign Strategy is Sickening

Now that the Budget Debate is over, one can expect to see an increase in polical activity in the constituencies, as the incumbent wants to hold on to their seat, whereas on the other hand the opposition are determined to unseat the former. Elections are constitutionaly due no later then March 2012.
In the Choiseul/Saltibus constituency Lorne's crew have been hard at it. They have been doing their house-to-house work as well as their visits to enclaves. The Webmaster, who runs a blog has also turned his blog into a propaganda machine ...... The thing communists/socialist do.
What is depictable by all measures, is the low level the Webmaster has brought journalism to in an effort to win votes. It is beyond my understanding to comprehend why such persons should go to such an extent to hurt individuals. Guess it is in the Webmaster's nature.
Elections campaigning should not be based on vendettas but rather on issues and a genuine need to help persons and improve their lives. Campaigning should not be based on 'mal parley' and 'maypwee' and lies. This is gutter politics. Lorne's campaign crew relies on this strategy (which is doing them much harm now) because they have no respect for the people's intellectual capacity. It's such a pity when we think we are bright and not shining.
On the other hand the incumbent's camp are also at work. They have not been involved in any form of propaganda and so forth. The Rep continues to carry on with his vision for Choiseul as usual.
This will be the litmus test that Labour will fail. Bousquet is being paid to deliver and he has delivered;
and all Lorne can say to the people is, 'If you elect me I will......' Espoire mal papia.
But the encumbent is sending a strong message to Lorne's campaign crew, go down the nasty road and they will get their work cut out for them. Rufus made that clear during the Debate.
It brings to mind. Is Lorne a saint? Is Rufus without fault? Lorne have had to deal with his previously alleged issues and so has Rufus. Two evils? Food for thought.

By the way, was Frogy displaying his usual 'sanmess' in Saltibus yesterday? Is this proof of labour's 'farebless.' Labour, losing steam.

Choiseul's Infrasructural Developments

During Bousquet's 2006 elections campaign he vowed to the Choiseul people that if he won the elections he will make the district an envy of St. Lucia.
In order to acheive this milestone certain infrastructure must be in place as well as raising the standard of living of the people.
This post will reveal to its readers the amount of work this Rep has done,laying the foundation towards making Choiseul/Saltibus the place we all will be proud of.
It would be of little significance if the road networks are improved, yet families have to wade in mud to get to and from their homes. Therefore footpaths,bridges and driveways had to be part of th plan.
There can be little doubt that the rehabilitation of the roads in Coco,Morne Jacques/Dugard, Boisden, La Maze and Franciou has improved the lives of these immensely.
The construction of driveways in Morne Sion, Raveneau,Roblot and Le Riche has had its impact as well.
Footpaths and bridges at La pointe, Industry, Jetrine, Piaye Derriere Morne, Debreuil and Saltibus have been welcomed.
One must not be naive to think that proper drainage in not important. We should all be very thankful, for had it not been for the titanic amount of drainage works done throughout the length and breadth of the constituency, the damage by Tomas would be far more extensive.

Over one hundred and fifty street lamps have been installed throughout the constituency and more are to be installed in the coming months as more requests pour in from the constituents. The Sauzay bridge area is one down to be tackled. However Lucelec has concerns.
Bus shelters have been built in Delcer,Saltibus, Dacretin and La Fargue. The Bellevue,La Pointe,Le Riche, La Maze and Piaye have been rennovated. Rivere Doree, Victoria and Balca to get shelters this year. The land for the shelter at the Raveneau junction is still in dispute.
