In the past, Ma Pau has supported this cricketing organisation through various activities.

Almost Eleven enjoyed a successful 2016 and are eager to continue their positive results in the 2017 season.

A Ma Pau press release stated: “Ma Pau is very pleased to be associated with this winning cricket team and wish to continue our open support of Almost Eleven. Ma Pau’s ongoing investment in the Almost Eleven cricketing organisation is reflective of its continued commitment to the social fabric (of) Trinidad and Tobago.

In Ma Pau we see that there are two keys to our success as a thriving part of the Trinidad and Tobago economy – our people and our community.”

Espinoza, the gold medallist from the 2016 Suriname International, in the match of the night, came back strong after losing the first set to Naim Mohammed, as he completed a 19-21, 21-9, 21-18 victory over the 5/8 seed in the quarterfinals.

Last year’s finalist Milind Ogale had a more straight forward path to the semifinals, as he overcame one of the rising stars of badminton.

Ogale defeated junior boys singles 2017 champion Renaldo Sinanan, 21-13 21-14.

Joining them in the semifinals is the number- two seed Will Lee, who had a titanic battle with the plucky Sheraz Nabbie, a former top junior player. The back and forth rallies that epitomised this match left the spectators enthralled but in the end Lee triumphed, registering a 21-16, 22-24, 21-11 win. The 3/4 seed Roger Moore was unable to play, giving Sarajudeen Mohammed an automatic path to the semis.

Five-time national champion Nekeisha Blake defeated newly promoted senior Jada Renales 23-21, 25-23.

Also advancing to the semifinals was Solangel Guzman (1), who defeated Latoya Walrond 21-2, 21-3; Leanna Castanada (3/4) got past Anita Mahadeo 21-17, 21-8 and Avril Plaza (2) outlasted Chequeda Deboulet 21-12, 21-14.

The three-day championships offer over $300,000 in prize money, the richest international tournament.

But although the Trinidad and Tobago All Fours Federation has been feverishly preparing for the February 3 to March 5 series, they lament the non-committal of the Ministry of Sport towards the tournament.

According to World All-Fours Federation public relations officer Henry Antoine, this international tournament being held here will be the forerunner to a World Club Championship in December this year.

He noted Trinidad will be the first leg of the club championship to be hosted in New York.

Antoine also indicated, it is the intention of World All-Fours Federation to spread the game to Europe by 2019.

This year’s International Cup will see $75,000 being divided among teams finishing fifth to 16th.

Winners will collect $100,000 and 15 gold medals, apart from the cup. Runners-up receive $40,000, a trophy and 15 silver medals.

The third-place team will get $20,000, a trophy and 15 bronze medals while the team finishing fourth will take home $10,000 and a trophy. Teams wanting to participate can contact tournament director Sherwin Cox at 466-3686.

The screening takes place from 3.30pm to 5pm. Players eligible for screening must be born no later than January 1, 2002.

“Thank you for partnering with us to be a part of our future vision for your Community and its environs.

We look forward to a unified effort in alleviating crime through well planned coordinated Sporting programmes,” an EFA press release stated.

St Fort and Kallicharan, who were also among the Top 11 Youth of 2016, got the nod as the Female and Male Youths of the Year respectively.

St Fort’s highlight of 2016 came at the IAAF World Under-20 Championships in Poland, where she earned bronze in the women’s 100 metres in a time of 11.18 seconds.

At the Carifta Games in Grenada, St Fort won gold in the women’s Under-20 100m event in 11.40 seconds. She was also a member of the women’s 4x100m relay team that advanced to the final at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

St Fort was delighted with her achievement saying, “Just to be able to represent Trinidad and Tobago is a blessing and to be recognised from Trinidad and Tobago just makes it all worth it.” St Fort, who is coached by legendary TT sprinter Ato Boldon, said she has already commenced preparation for the 2017 season.

“The work has started since October and we are ready for Carifta trials and then Carifta in Curacao, and then on to London (World Championships) 2017 hopefully.” St Fort is also aiming to improve on her personal bests in the 100m and 200m events. “Yes, definitely sub-11 (100m) and sub-23 (200m) this year.” Kallicharan was not in attendance, as he is currently competing in the West Indies Cricket Board Regional Super50 tournament with the West Indies Under-19 team.

His older brother Hance received the award on his behalf. The older Kallicharan knows his brother would be proud of the achievement.

“I know he will be quite surprised and honoured of this accomplishment, so I know he would probably be celebrating.” Hance said he supports his brother all the time. “My relationship with my brother, both him and I are really close. Where he goes to train I am there. I take him to training, at his games I am there.

Both my parents and I we support him tremendously.” Kirstan was part of the West Indies Under-19 team that won the ICC Under-19 50-over World Cup in Bangladesh. The accomplishments did not end there for Kirstan, as he was part of the TT Under-19 team that captured the three-day title at the West Indies Under-19 Championships in St Vincent and the Grenadines. He also captained the TT Under-17 unit to the West Indies Under-17 50-over trophy in Trinidad, where he posted two half centuries.

National women’s rugby player and rugby administrator Kwanieze John in delivering the feature address spoke to the young athletes about overcoming adversity.

John said, “It is clear to me that people who often achieve the most while inspiring us to be better have a few things in common. One of these things is the ability to confront and overcome adversity without losing faith or belief in self.

“I truly believe that the ability to overcome adversity is a necessary step in building and developing character, which more than anything else can propel you to success.” John encouraged the youngsters to chart their way forward and embrace challenges.“Write your goals down, visualise them, map it out in detail all the steps along the path you will have to take to achieve them. Most importantly, include the dark alleys of doubt and some of the challenges you will have to overcome including illness or injury.

You are human, and adversity is one of life’s constants. Mental fortitude must be part of your preparation.” Also speaking during the awards ceremony were chairman of the First Citizens Sports Foundation Dr Keith Clifford and chairman of the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago Michael Phillips.

Hailing from Antigua and Barbuda, Tanzania “Tizzy” Sebastian has been singing and performing since she got her start in her homeland with El-A-Kru in 1998.

Blessed with exotic and alluring looks, a commanding voice and an impressive vocal range, Tizzy describes herself as a “genuine, free and fun-loving spirit” whose passion for music and fashion keep her driven and determined to succeed.

“I just want to share my music,” she tells WMN. “I want to share my love of music with the whole of Trinidad and Tobago and everybody who’s coming in for the season and let’s just have fun and have a safe and clean Carnival. We want to jump up and have a good time – that’s what soca music is about – having fun, loving each other and loving life. We want to be safe doing that because the world is so hard these days and so many harsh things are happening – some of them really unexpected – so we have to look out for each other and be our brothers’ and our sisters’ keepers and make sure we keep that love there.” Even though Tizzy is just “holding on” in place of the now pregnant, Darnella Simmons, the articulate and eloquent singer is determined to leave her mark on the 2017 season.

“My management team and I are always looking for opportunities to display my talent and promote my brand,” she explains. “So when the position with Roy Cape became available, of course, I jumped at the chance to work with one of the leading bands in the region. After performing with Destra and Atlantik in 2008, I became very familiar with the fete circuit here and gained the experience of working the Trinidad crowds.

Performing with a band is always a richer experience than singing on tracks so it’s both an honour and a win-win for me to have the legendary Roy Cape All Stars behind me and alongside me in 2017.” In case you haven’t made the connection by now: this is the same _ ery vocalist who thrilled us in 2007 with “Expose” and also had us grooving alongside Richard Trumpet in 2009 with “Wuk Meh”. Armed with a threeyear digital distribution deal from VP Records, Tizzy has released four singles: “Pumping Iron”, “Wake It Up”, “Show Dem” and a recent collaboration with Chutney Soca Monarch, Kris “KI” Persad entitled “Fire”.

“Pumping Iron was released for Antigua Carnival last year and made its way down here,” she explains.

“I made the rounds in December and while I was here for rehearsals at Christmas time, I got the opportunity to work with De Red Boyz – I got the song, “Wake It Up” – heard it and loved it and went over to Barbados to record it and then came back here for more rehearsals and some gigs we had for the Christmas season.

“’Show Dem’ is my power song – power is back and alive and well – and was written by Rayza and Produced by Stadic and I recorded that during the Christmas season. The one with KI, I just recorded that – I try to make the best use of my time while I’m here in Trinidad so its recordings, interviews, photo-shoots, the full works… Kasey from Precision Productions originally sent me the song, but because I had three songs already, I said I would just record it and hold it for sometime later, but KI got wind of it and sold me on the idea of collaborating with him and it was real fire in the studio and well, he’s the Chutney Monarch, so… now it’s out!” Confident, attractive and talented, Tizzy represents a new breed of female entertainers who do not feel compelled to sell sex onstage all the time to earn their keep. While her doubleentendre songs and daring/fashion forward out_ ts may be considered “spicy”, the Antiguan bard is out to earn her respect via her talent and her work ethic, as opposed to using only her looks and her trim physique to gain attention.

“I feel that people should stand up for themselves – whether male or female,” she said.

“It’s been a male dominated industry – as far as soca music – for quite some time now, but the females have been working hard to make sure that they can stand on their own and become even better than some of the male performers out there – and we have to keep doing that.

“Not just in the industry, but females should support females on a whole because there’s a lot that we go through that the normal man doesn’t have to go through and we still make sure that we keep it together. We are the foundation of life itself and we keep it together not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us as well, so I’m supporting everything female and females all the way and making sure that we keep our health and strength and continue to love and support each other, so we can grow.” Growth and progress are de_ nitely two important items on Tizzy’s agenda. After starting out in the calypso arena and now representing with soca, she’s determined to take her music and her career to higher heights – even as she observes and participates in the evolution of the genre.

“The music has changed and it has to in order to grow,” she states. “What we have now that we didn’t have years ago is social media – it can be a good thing and it can be a bad thing – like money, they say money is the root of evil, but if you have it you can do a whole lot of good with it as well. Same thing with soca music – we have made some changes that are good and some that are bad, but it’s all about being consistent and evolving with whatever is changing in the world.

“Sometimes you can be the head of the change and sometimes you follow the change, but it’s all about making sure we have a presence in what’s going on at the time. I’m definitely going to ensure my presence is felt and I really believe in good time management and being as productive as possible. Every breath, every waking moment is an opportunity to progress in life, so I try to treat my time as such and make the best use of it.” Check her out onstage at your next fete, or log on to her social media platforms using her full name and @therealtizzy 5

At this time, Roberta was overweight, lived a mostly sedentary lifestyle, and admits she was busy taking care of others instead of putting herself and her health first.

The discovery of her disease forced her to make dietary changes, which led to an improved overall health. She says this first step prompted her to take several more steps; she added basic exercise to her routine, through walking.

“A few months into that, in addition to feeling healthier, I started to see physical changes to my body and was motivated to push myself a bit further and joined a gym,” she shares of the progression of her renewed self-care, highlighting that the training style in the gym pushed her far beyond the physical limitations she had set for herself.

In 2014, a mere year after her lifestyle changes, she completed the UWI half marathon in under three hours. “[That was] my first ever running event… less than one year after not being able to jog for five minutes on a treadmill!” she relates proudly.

Her illness and accompanying changes inspired Roberta to found “Yes She Can”, a project aimed to motivate, educate, support, and celebrate the successes of women, as well as promote emotional and physical wellness. The project’s three main areas of focus are physical activity, healthy eating choices, and self-appreciation and self-care.

“The main message through the Yes She Can project is: despite station or status you can make healthy and positive choices that improve and enhance your quality of life,” says the founder, adding that age and social and financial backgrounds are inconsequential in the journey to becoming “your best self”.

“The idea of Yes She Can came to me after completing the UWI half marathon in 2014, and I thought about how far along my journey I came and how much joy completing this event gave me,” she explains. Roberta is adamant that living healthier and making more informed choices gave her a type of freedom and happiness that she had not experienced previously. “I have a loving and supportive family and have always enjoyed my life, but this was different. For the first time in my life, I was doing something for ME!”

This feeling of empowerment and wellness overwhelmed her, and she was determined to share her story and motivate other women to take similar steps in their lives.

Yes She Can was launched on International Women’s Day 2015 with three local motivational videos of women sharing their journeys toward living healthier lives and the challenges and victories along this path. “Since [our launch], YSC has been responsible for many inspirational transformation experiences locally and abroad,” she boasts.

YSC also “actively celebrates” the achievements of its core members, both in TT and its Hong Kong contingent. Some of these achievements include training and completing a triathlon in Tobago, the YSC TT team training and competing in the Annual Chinese Bicentennial Dragon Boat Regatta held in Chaguaramas, and their Blessing Bag Campaign, the collection and distribution of women’s handbags filled with toiletries and personal items for homeless women and women in need.

YSC also has a strong social media presence on Facebook, and continues to reach out to women through encouraging posts and shared stories of local women who have worked against the odds, much like Roberta herself.

Coming up on March 4, in the lead-up to International Women’s Day (March 8), Yes She Can will host their International Women in Wellness Conference (yscwomeninwellness.com) at the Hyatt Regency. The conference is described as a powerful day with experts and educators whose mission is to coach, motivate, and energise participants towards living a healthier life.

The theme, Roberta says, is evocative of YSC’s overall mission: “Building our Women, Strengthening our Society”. “Our focus is on women as we believe that by educating and encouraging adult women on the benefits of making healthier choices, the entire family and by extension our society, will lead a more fulfilling and enjoyable life,” she says of the conference and YSC’s overall goal.

She also points out that YSC is not a “women’s only” movement. “Men empower women through support,” she believes, citing her husband’s irreplaceable support during her own lifestyle changes. “Both directly and indirectly, we have encouraged and included men to be a part of our movement. We proudly have a few guys who not only support us through training for events but are also right there alongside us sporting their YSC-branded apparel.” She notes that there will be two male presenters at the upcoming Wellness Conference, “as we see men as a valuable and integral part of our journey.”

Roberta acknowledges that all women possess different lives, experiences, and goals. Even so, she says YSC is for all women and embraces each woman’s individuality. “No two people are the same, no two situations are the same. We have to first accept our uniqueness before we can move forward or make changes in our lives,” she insists, adding that this knowledge of individuality and understanding allows a woman to reach her full potential.

In the future, she would like to see the organisation extend its reach throughout the Caribbean by way of community programmes, which will engage local health and wellness practitioners to share practical tools to support women transforming their lives. “[I hope] it will also provide a platform for women who have travelled the path to living healthier to support other women along their journey,” she says of the ways sharing of experiences can aid in the empowerment and strengthening of all.

Established controls in the marriage protect it from dwelling in dangerous excesses and are a necessary safeguard in times of pressing urgencies and emergencies. Ironically, it is its marital controls that best facilitate “the freedom of the marriage” to achieve its fullest potential.

Our starting focus is the importance of “time controls”. Here the litmus test is the amount of rest, sleep and relaxation the marriage enjoys, especially in the early, child-rearing years, or in the face of enhanced promotional responsibilities, or increasing business or social-activity demands and successes.

The above often determines the quantum of available energy the marriage can access for its on-going commitments and developmental goals.

It is also linked to the essential of limiting the build-up of harmful stress. Though this “time and rest” factor will vary over the years and with aging, prolonged deficiencies in this ingredient, though advantageous in pursuing some immediate or short-term pursuits, will, in the medium to long term, weaken the marriage in functioning efficiently.

Physical and health controls centre around effective exercise, weight and diet management.

This should be coupled with annual or other regular medical check-ups. The key motivational driver is that “prevention is much cheaper than cure or repair” – even with today’s ever-increasing costs of preventative care.

But an area of deepening concern, especially for contemporary marriages, is that of emotional and mental health and controls. The elimination of negative emotional baggage from the past and in the present, must be a high priority of the fusion relationship. Open, “safe-place” discussions, enabling home and car environments filtered from “self-isolating noise” and marital language that consistently edits, builds and does not tear down are indispensable thermostats. Time for mental reflection and meditation is best achieved in vacations far away from normal or high-pressured, daily demands or from unplanned setbacks and must be part of the emotional and mental health fortifications.

Financial controls in a marriage are best implemented within a framework of medium to long-term planning and budgeting. To develop retirement plans at the beginning of a marriage may seem presumptuous but in fact, it is the ideal starting point for establishing proper financial objectives, plans, activities and guidelines.

Unfortunately, this is not a reality for most of our marriages, where these safeguards only appear after serious monetary crisis or loss.

Fortunately, it is never too late to begin by spending affordably and wisely, saving and investing as much as possible within agreed longterm objectives, and remaining debt-free. The latter does not mean having no debts or debt financing, but rather, having our combined incomes meet or exceed our current expenses and debt repayments at all times.

Spiritual controls are perhaps the least understood and observed in our marriages. It involves more than attending religious meetings, occasions and activities – though a vital aspect of the overall grid. Spiritual controls find its truest purpose and benefit when these considerations influence our day-to-day decisions and relationships. The control of “love is patient and kind” must not only apply to our family and friends but also to all we interact with. The “give thanks IN all (not for all) circumstances” acknowledges and worships God for His providential faithfulness and overriding goodwill. What a difference these spiritual controls can make to the improving quality of life and marriage we seek to enjoy! A little-known, biblical saying states “the individual [and by extension the marriage] without self-control is like a city without walls”. It lays them wide-open to so many destructive attacks. This is not true for marriages with practiced, protective, priority (PPP) controls.

I know of one woman, whose husband’s ex-girlfriend came to her before their wedding to warn her that her fianc? was abusive. Thinking the woman was jealous, she dismissed her warning and is paying the price.

Another woman I know, nobody warned her. Everyone knew the man she was marrying was a closet homosexual, even the minster and no one said a word of warning to her. Now she is paying the price too. Both men argue they are good men but anyone knowing the women in their lives know that is a barefaced lie.

A friend of mine (I know he’s not reading this so I can talk frankly) has been married more than 20 years to the same woman and is compulsively unfaithful.

To him it is no big deal and for a long time his wife turned a blind eye. After all these years, she has, understandably, had enough and wants to divorce. He feels disrespected, but what did he expect after what he’s done all these years? He has decided to convince himself he is a good man and lots of women want to be with him. He is a friend of mine but boy, is he delusional. Middle aged, broke, with a lot of children and unable to be faithful, not a winning combination.

One note to the men reading this article, no woman is ok with infidelity, she may tolerate it for whatever reason but make no mistake she’s not pleased.

The only time I’ve seen a woman be ok with her partner’s unfaithfulness was when she was equally unfaithful, and even then, it was more out of a sense of revenge or consolation. There will be day either now or later but there will be a time of reckoning for all the extracurricular fun. Remember infidelity is incontestable grounds for divorce before the court.

I am also reminded of another woman I know, who met her husband as a teenager and they dated, married, had children and now have grandchildren. In an effort to improve their home it was decided that everyone will save money and renovate the home together.

Her husband in the meantime, secretly bought himself a home, furnished it with all new furniture and appliances and installed his mistress in it. While his wife, children and grandchildren continue to live in a house about to collapse on their heads. Adding insult to injury in an effort to reduce the cost of housing his mistress, he tried to collect the funds saved by his adult children and wife under the guise he was ready to begin the renovation.

Unfortunately, these stories are true; I couldn’t make stuff like this up. I’m a creative but my brain just doesn’t go there. The sad thing is that all these men still are convinced they are good men. For the record, they are not. I don’t have an axe to grind and I’m not ‘toting’ feelings either, I’m just offering some clarity to my fellow men. So…

If you borrowed money from your child’s mother then refuse to pay it back, it doesn’t matter how much church you go to, you’re not a good man.

If the house you are living in has been paid for in part by an ex of yours and you haven’t given the money back, you are not a good man If two women are carrying your children at the same time, it may get you stripes with the boys but you are not a good man.

If your salary goes to your mother rather than contributing to the upkeep of your home and children, you are a good son but not a good man.

If you are busy purchasing the latest sneakers, gadgets, vehicles at the expense of your family’s financial stability, you are not a good man.

I’m not judging the values men choose to live by, rather I’m saying don’t violate the Trade Descriptions Act by pretending to be something you’re not. If you are a bad boy or a predatory wolf, say so, I’m sure some women find that thrilling and you will not be short of willing partners.

However, there are some women that really don’t want the drama and are looking for a good man to be with, so if you know you’re not good, stop trying to sell a six for a nine. If you didn’t know but you recognised yourself in some of the previous paragraphs, don’t be afraid to change your label. It’s only fair to the consumers out there.

So, women let’s do each other a favour, warn a sister when you see her in the jaws of the wolf nah? It’s not going to take any skin of your nose.

Are there good men out there? Yes, yes there are.

I know quite a few, I’m related to a few and I even have one myself. Last week I wrote an entire diatribe on substance and character. Before you look at the superficial, look at the character of an individual, if he has a cute face or a hot body and terrible character, you’ll be crying blood before too long.

I’m thrilled with my nerdy, super smart guy, he’s got great substance and decent character, I should know, I’ve given the poor thing enough stress and he’s held up over the years. There’s nothing like dating a bad man to help you recognise a good one. I know a number of women that went from the worst of the bad men to great men, so it’s never too late.

This is the second installation of our carnival wardrobe capsule. Two weeks ago, we looked at outfit options for the all-inclusive fete, which basically entailed bringing your styling “A” game to the party. This week, we’re taking a slightly different approach. Now this is not to say that your “A” game is not going to show up, but we’re shifting the focus from making a fashion statement to dressing for ultimate fete enjoyment. Welcome to the Cooler Edition!
The cooler fete for the purposes of this article, refers to the original fete. You remember what that is, don’t you? The fete from which ticket prices did not break your bank account; hair and make-up was not required; and your feet only hurt from “jumping up” as opposed to “jumping up in heels”. The entire atmosphere was one of sheer abandon. Enticing, isn’t it? Well, let’s go!

I can’t think of any item of clothing that is sexier, edgier, more chic to attend one of these fetes than a pair of denim shorts. They pair well with any style of top and look absolutely smashing with sneakers, boots or sandals… footwear necessary and guaranteed for maximum enjoyment. The added bonus is that most of us already own a pair of denim shorts… This outfit option saves you money.

Now don’t think that I did not take into consideration that there are some of us who are not comfortable with baring legs, whatever the reason may be. In this case, I will suggest that wearing a pair of jeans, which most of you already own. And yes, I know that you wear jeans for many a casual occasion but we are focusing on comfort, aren’t we? Trust me, coupling your favourite pair of jeans with a sexy top and completing the look with comfortable wedge heels; loafers or flat sandals will give you just the right amount of effortless chic needed for any one of the original fetes.

Speaking of original fetes, there is one that stands out in my mind, even as I explore these outfit options with you. One of the parties that has survived the evolution that the fete scene has undergone in our country and is still emerging as one of the more popular events on the carnival calendar, is no other than Army fete. The very survival of this event, especially in the wake of deaths to original fete greats such as Licensing, Fire and WASA, I thought it only fitting to touch on options specific to this affair. Seems that I am on the same page with the Army Fete 2017 promoters, since they have come up with a line of T-shirts that are on sale as we speak. T-shirt line withstanding, you can’t go wrong with army green, so use it as your base and build your outfit from there.

There is another type of original fete… one original cooler fete that beats back all in this category and has also stood the test of time, and this event is Panorama semi-finals, otherwise known as Pan Semis. Every carnival enthusiast knows that this event is not to be missed, whatever the attire. Where the goal here is strictly to enjoy this whole day savannah party, when it comes to outfit selections at Pan Semis, a new culture has emerged. Within recent years, groups and organizations have branded themselves at this event, in the form of group T-Shirts and Tops. If you belong to such fun bunches of individuals, half of your problem is solved. My advice to you, therefore, will be to put your own spin on your group ensemble. Whether you cut, tie, or wrap your tee or top, do so for maximum comfort and effect.

Lastly, I must touch on the cooler party that is conceptualized around water. Whether this fete takes place poolside, by the beach or on a boat, the emphasis and focus is on beach wear. They key element to putting together an outfit for this type of event is striking a balance between beach casual and party glam, all while taking comfort and your maximum enjoyment into consideration. The two gorgeous individuals in the image below perfects this balance perfectly.

Could you tell that the cooler fete; the original fete holds a special place in my heart? This is because there is absolutely no pretence, no posturing, to be had at this type of party. Everyone attending has the same goal… to free up and enjoy! What say you? Will you be joining us? Yes? Well put on your comfortable chic, my girl, and just rock and come een!
