| IS PAULA
GOPEE PROPER FOR POINT? |
|
In the
continuing drama which is the screening
process for candidates to contest the
upcoming elections, it is now reported in
the daily news that Paula Gopee is tipped to
contest the Point Fortin seat for the PNM.
As we
understand it, Paula is an offspring of the
Gopee family which once owned a popular
business in Point Fortin. However, Ms.
Gopee is reported to be living in
Westmoorings and is out of touch with her
former deep south community.
Pointalive.com will like to find out if you
think that Paula Gopee is best suited to
represent Point Fortin?

MORE POINTS FOR POINT |

"Nor am
I surprised that Arthur is a Point Fortin
feller, Point being something special as a
Trini place, its migrant population
(Grenada, St Vincent, Barbados, the whole
West Indian wherever) making for something
of a merry mix (Duke who wrote Nelson's
"King Liar" and his own "Freakin' Streakin"
from there), per capita, I often swear, the
biggest football and kaiso catchment in the
world - Warren Archibald, Steve David, Arnim
David, Leroy de Leon, Delbert Charleau,
Wilfred Cave, Monty Douglas, Winty Hackett
and 'bout a hundred others, and more from
there. And now with a Miami Heat ball court
in the offing, complete with all the
hoop-la, don't be surprised if, in a
generation or two, "Point" belches out the
best basketballers.........

ENTERTAINING ELECTIONS |
Discarded Pt Fortin MP
Lawrence Achong |
Well the election bell has
been officially rung and Trinidad & Tobago
is now on the home stretch towards what
maybe described as the most interesting or
entertaining elections of recent times.
With three major parties contesting, the
voting public seems bewildered as to
where to throw their support.
While traditionally, voting has been along
the lines of ethnicity and this may still be
this way, one politically party seemingly
appears to be bridging the divide

LOOK WHO CROSSED 50
BRIDGES
EARL JEFFREY
CELEBRATES |
|
He
needs no introduction as his presence precedes his
arrival through the sounds of rattling rhythmic iron
synchronizing to some sweet soca music.
However, on his birthday, Earl Jeffrey or Peck-Earl
as he is known, was not the entertainer as we all
have come to know him, on this occasion he was
entertained. In a thanksgiving celebration
held at the Techier
Community Centre the master iron-man was treated by
his friends and family. No need to mention the
perpetual bar and engine room which was featured for
this occasion.

Remember the "Deal or No Deal" episode when Point

the decision to accept the re-furbishing of
basketball court Miami Heat style in his home land?
Well that deal came through. Pointalive
photographer Devon Byron was on hand to capture the
ceremony for the reopening of the basketball court.

WOMEN: CATALYST FOR SOCIAL
CHANGE? |
|
This week I would
like to extract your views relating to the role of
our women as it deals with support for their
spouses. Many brothers claim that whenever
they attempt to make positive sacrifices, they are
always faced with opposing comments from their
companion. E.g. A brother wants to venture
into a business which can elevate their living
standards, however, the project is somewhat risky
and requires both parties to suspend some of the
current spending habits which they may have grown
accustomed to. Would our women support this
venture or would they cry their spouse into
forgetting the idea?
