Responding to a question in the House of Representatives, Smith said this will include transitioning the Sport Company of TT to the Sports Commission of TT; re-evaluation of governance structures of national sporting bodies; creation of sport dispute resolution centres; legislation regarding the amendment of the Boxing Control Board Act; high performance sport support for elite athletes and coach development and collaboration with the Tourism Ministry on a National Sport Tourism Policy .

Responding to a question from Princes Town MP Barry Padarath, Smith said it did not matter under which administration any particular sporting facility was developed .

Smith explained that what matters is the ability of the facility to be used for the benefit of athletes and the public alike .

He reminded MPs that the Cycling Velodrome and the National Aquatic Centre in Couva were first conceptualised by his predecessors Roger Boynes and Gary Hunt, even though they were built under the former People’s Partnership (PP) government .

Smith also advised Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar that the National Tennis Centre was renamed the National Racquet Centre because the facility will accommodate badminton, squash and table tennis, in addition to lawn tennis .

The Tournament was started 20 years ago to help develop hockey in Tobago. Director Joy-Ann Prescott shared that the competition was the vision of club president Annette Knott who is also the General Secretary of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee. “ It was an initiative of Annette Knott, that we develop hockey in Tobago and the only way we could have done that is by capturing the youths. So we went around to schools all over Tobago and did just that.” Knott, speaking at the closing and prize giving ceremony, told the participants that the tournament has grown over the two decades of its existence.

“This is 20 years. How many of you here are over 20 years of age. I want you to understand how long this tournament has been going on. Some of the players standing on the side lines were babies and were just like you and started with this tournament.” She also commended Prescott, one of the persons who helped organised the two day competition.

Current national player Areisha Sandy played in this year’s tournament while former national representatives Alan Henderson, Mauricia Nicholson, Ronnie Chandlier and Handel Thom returned to compete in the special 20th anniversary match late in the evening to end the tournament.

Lester left the San Fernando General Hospital 25 days after being involved in a head on collision with a vehicle during a training ride on December 10. After suffering serious injuries to her neck, face and hip following the crash in Buenos Ayres, Lester was in a critical condition and warded at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). After showing great improvement and regaining consciousness two days after the collision, doctors were optimistic that the Junior Pan American record holder in the Team Sprint would be able to leave the hospital in six-eight weeks time.

That time frame would have seen Lester possibly released at the end of January. However, after spending Christmas and New Years with family and close friends at her side, she received a late Christmas present when doctors informed her that she would be released from hospital three weeks in advance.

The Arima native left the hospital in a wheelchair and sporting a neck brace, destined for the Eastern borough and carrying a broad smile as she exited the hospital at about 2.30 pm on Wednesday. Though discharged, Lester will remain an outpatient of the SFGH as she begins her journey to full recovery.

The Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation continues to pray and wish for Lester’s health and the Federation hopes to see the national cyclist back on her bike in the shortest possible time.

The season restarted after the Christmas break with little fanfare, but Rangers moved up to sixth spot (with 15 points) after a high-scoring result over fifth-placed Stars (18 points). Dylan King scored twice for Rangers, in the 14th and 76th minutes, while Micah Lansiquot (11th), Jameel Antoine (37th) and Shakiyl Phillip (85th) chipped in with one apiece. Jerrel Britto (43rd and 87th) and Hayden Tinto (60th) replied for Stars. In the latter game at Barataria, San Juan Jabloteh edged the struggling Morvant Caledonia United 1-0 courtesy of a 64th minute goal by Josiah Trimmingham.

Jabloteh remained in third spot with 23 points, while Caledonia are second from bottom with 10 points.

Ahye, who competed in the finals of the women’s 100-metre, women’s 200m and women’s 4x100m events at the 2016 Rio Olympics won the Senior Female Athlete of the Year Award.

Walcott, who was not in attendance, copped the Senior Male Athlete of the Year Award.

Walcott was Trinidad and Tobago’s only medallist at the Rio Olympics winning bronze in the men’s javelin event. The bronze medal followed up his gold medal performance at the 2012 London Olympics in the same event.

Winning the top awards in the junior category were Akanni Hislop and Khalifa St Fort.

Hislop, who could not attend, took home the Junior Male Athlete of the Year award, while St Fort took Junior Female Athlete of the Year honours. Hislop won gold in the Boys Under-20 200m event at the 2016 Carifta Games, while St Fort snatched bronze in the Girls 100m event at the World Junior Championships.

Ahye was happy to win the award saying, “it is a very proud moment for me, I did really good last year and (receiving) these awards means a lot to me and it encourages me more to push harder for the season upcoming.” Asked if she was amazed by her performances last year Ahye said, “yes I am really amazed, even though we did not do really good in the (women’s) 4x100m we still tried our best.” The top sprinter said her health is important in 2017. “I just (want) to remain healthy, I just came off surgery from my toe. I am just trying to stay healthy and try to do better than I did last year.” Among those in attendance at the awards were President of Trinidad and Tobago Anthony Carmona, NAAA’s president Ephraim Serrette, TT Olympic Committee president Brian Lewis, Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Darryl Smith and SporTT chairman Micheal Phillips. President Carmona delivered the feature address at the ceremony.

With the result, Haiti have a plus-two goal difference, while Suriname, who defeated hosts Trinidad and Tobago 2-1 in extra time on Wednesday, have a minus- one goal difference, and are out of contention for the top spot in the group.

Trinidad and Tobago, who are also on minus-one goal difference, will need to defeat Haiti by at least two clear goals in today’s (SUNDAY) game at Couva to finish first in the group.

The group winners will progress to the next stage – a twolegged playoff against the fifthplace team from this month’s Copa Centroamericana, for the last berth in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

For the first 80 minutes of Friday’s match, Haiti seemed to be in cruise control, as they dominated a Suriname team who were noticeably tired from Wednesday’s exploits.

However, Haiti allowed complacency to creep in, with Suriname, who finished the game with 10 men, reducing the deficit, to the delight of the estimated 300 TT fans in attendance.

Midfielder Herold Charles broke the deadlock in the 25th minute, with a swivelled right-footed shot, from about 12 metres out, to the right of goalkeeper Claidel Kohinor.

The Suriname goalie was alert to tip a right-footed shot from Derrick Etienne overbar but, from the resultant corner in the 41st, Haiti doubled their lead.

Charles’ corner was not cleared by the Suriname defence and centre- back Andrew Jean Baptiste’s left-footed shot was adjudged by assistant referee Jairo Morales Garcia to have crossed the line, despite the best efforts of a Suriname defender on the right goalpost.

Things got worse for Suriname in the 48th when a horrendous back-pass to his goalie by midfielder Mitchell Kisoor was intercepted by striker Ajonel Desire who calmly placed his right-footed shot beyond the reach of Kohinor.

Suriname were reduced to 10 men when left-back Guno Kwasie was sent off by referee Michel Rodriguez for a second bookable offence.

And a minute later (80th), Haiti notched their fourth, though an own goal by stopper Gillermo Faerber, who slid his attempted clearance to the left of Kohinor while under pressure from Desire.

Suriname, with a rare shot on goal, got on the scoresheet in the 86th through W Connection striker Dimitrie Apai, who got a ball from Faerber, ran in open space and sent his right-footer to the right of goalie Guerry Romondt.

And, in stoppage time, Sergino Eduard netted Suriname’s second, from close range, after Romondt horribly spilled a low cross from the left by Ivanildo Rozenblad.

In the first match Munroe Road posted a massive 209 for five against Defence Force with Akeem Alvarez scoring 100 with eight fours and nine sixes. In reply Defence Force got to 70/2 in nine overs when rain ended the match to give Munroe Road victory by 31 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method.

In the second match Club Crusoe scored 209/6 batting first with Leron Lezama hitting 74 not out.

In reply Defence Force could only muster 115/8 as Ancil Nedd (2/12) and Navin Stewart (2/29) both snatched two wickets. Defence Force was eliminated from the tournament after the two defeats.

After press time last night Club Crusoe and Munroe Road were playing for the top spot in Group D. On Friday night, Merry Boys confirmed a spot in the quarterfinals with a 22-run win over UWI in Group B action. National cricketer Marlon Richards and Ranga Latchana both scored 34 as Merry Boys posted a competitive 166/7 in 20 overs. Travis Blyden was the top bowler for UWI taking 3/26 in four overs. In reply, Miguel Francis scored an unbeaten 48 but UWI could only score 144/6. Also making contributions to the UWI total were Jasbour Findlay (30) and Blyden (26), but man of the match Richards ensured Merry Boys came away with the win snatching 3/29.

Also advancing to the quarterfinals from Group B was Police.

SUMMARISED SCORES Saturday Munroe Road 209/5 (Akeem Alvarez 100, Kieron Joseph 47, Brendon Wong Wai 2/22) vs Defence Force 70/2 (9 overs) (Kareem Mohammed 28 not out, David Adams 22) Munroe won by 31 runs on Duckworth Lewis

Club Crusoe 209/6 (Leron Lezama 74 not out, Navin Stewart 44, Anthony Alexander 3/49, Brendon Wong Wai 1/27) vs Defence Force 115/8 (Sion Cain 29, Steve Alfonso 28, Ancil Nedd 2/12, Navin Stewart 2/29) Club Crusoe won by 94 runs

Friday – Group B Merry Boys 166/7 (Marlon Richards 34, Ranga Latchana 34, Travis Blyden 3/26, AJ Chandler 2/22) vs UWICC 144/6 (Miguel Francis 48 not out, Jasbour Findlay 30, Travis Blyden 26, Marlon Richards 3/29, Ranga Latchana 1/18) Merry Boys won by 22 runs

TODAY’S FIXTURES 10 am: Duncan-Buggy Haynes United vs Moosai Sports 2 pm: Duncan-Buggy Haynes United vs Demerara 6 pm: Moosai Sports vs Demerara

Located at 8A Rookery Nook, Maraval, Irie Elephant’s mission is to promote happy and healthy families; according to Suzanne, “A space where mothers can catch up, where dads can ‘babysit’, a place of support, learning, and development.” She laments the old saying “it takes a village to raise a child” is fast becoming a distant and foggy memory and through Irie Elephant she hopes she has created a space where parents feel safe to seek advice, share stories of parenting, and offer support to each other. “We all need some time to recuperate and rebalance – and it’s not always possible with children,” she highlights one of the main challenges of parenthood. “Hopefully we can help, even just a little bit!” She gives an example of something as simple as going to the restroom alone as one of the “luxuries” parents feel they are afforded while spending time at Irie Elephant.

Irie Elephant is a caf? with both outdoor and indoor play areas, spa services, a kid’s clothing store, as well as a rentable conference room. “We even have our own party planner who takes away all the stress of providing everything, from party bags to pony rides!” she says excitedly of one of the business’ more hands-on services for parents who may lack the time for such activities. The outdoor play area is large, given the need for children to release energy in fresh air and she shares that one of Irie’s main goals is to expand and develop this outdoor area further in 2017. There are also weekly events such as art classes, baby groups, and movie nights “not just for kids but for parents, grandparents, and uncles,” she shares about the inclusive nature of all of Irie’s offerings.

Expanding on the activities hosted by Irie Elephant, Suzanne explains the business offers two baby groups: Musical Tots with Aunty Gemma and a Baby & Toddler Group with Aunty Eva. The Musical Tots class is described as a fun, interactive musical journey including vocal warm ups, nursery rhymes, finger puppets, baubles, and shakers while the Baby & Toddler group targets aspects of babies’ and toddlers’ cognitive, social, learning, and physical development through play and games. Both women who lead these classes are trained in their fields and “have a genuine love for what they do, both with the children and the parents.” Beyond the positive ways these classes may move children, Suzanne says they also allow a space for parents to share various experiences and stories. “It can be very hard to find a release for your achievements as well as problems when you are a parent; sometimes you just want to know someone else believes your baby is amazing or the pain of a complete lack of sleep; that’s why I encourage mothers and fathers to come to these classes [because] we are all in the same boat.”

Other classes provided are Art for the Soul courses that teach children and parents how to paint on canvas, a robotics class in February that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education, etiquette training for young ones from general manners to table decorum, as well as Outdoor Paint and Play events. Suzanne describes these as “a whole heap of messy fun with no clean up for mum!” She also points out that the Irie Elephant space is rentable to anyone who believes they can offer workshops, seminars, or host events that are beneficial to the growth of children and parents and the strengthening of these bonds. “We are all about empowering parents, especially mothers who may have left work to take care of their children,” she says of the encouragement Irie hopes to inspire in both its teachers and students.

“In public, parents and onlookers are too quick to tell children to ‘be quiet, don’t make a mess’ or, as I always did, put on YouTube,” Suzanne says of the small ways children are made to shrink their self-expression. “In Irie Elephant, it is a place where parents can relax enough to sit in the play area and the idea of being out is no longer a chore.” She says parents play more with their children at Irie because the thought of clean up, noise, and mess is no longer an issue. “Part of growing up and learning is playing with food, getting used to textures, developing our fine motor skills to pick up food with a fork; how will [children] learn if they can’t make a mess?” She says her business partner has always stated that Irie’s space is not just for children but also for parents; creating a relaxing environment where parents can “walk out of Irie Elephant with their head held high and a little less stress on their shoulders.”

At the heart of Irie’s goal is creating environments that are conducive to the positive growth and sustenance of parent/ child relationships. Suzanne emphasises the classes offered help children to become better communicators overall, which can lend itself to strengthening bonds between them and adults for less quick childhood dismissal and more integrative and loving learning techniques. “For anyone looking for a place to start, no matter how big your dream is, you can start here,” she encourages all persons, parents or children-lovers alike, to visit and add to Irie’s growing syllabus. “We want everyone to use our space, whether as a customer or a partner in developing each other’s businesses.

“Life is too short for competition, let’s build each other up!”

The couple welcomed their son into the world last week to celebrate the New Year in style and the singer isn’t alone when it comes to starting a family a little later in life.

Here’s a look at more mums who have welcomed a family later in life.

Geri Horner, 44
It was something Spice Girl Geri really, really wanted but could hardly have imagined would ever really, really happen. The chances that Ginger Spice would get pregnant at 44 was remote – some believe the odds are less than five percent.
But the girlband were full of surprises and, clearly, Geri, married to Formula One boss Christian Horner, 42, still is.
Mum to ten-year-old Bluebell, Geri hinted she had conceived naturally when she posted online a drawing and the words “God bless Mother Nature #mamaspice

Gwen Stefani , 44

The No Doubt singer told her sons her baby-making days were over but Kingston, her eldest, wanted another sibling. Four weeks later Gwen was pregnant and gave birth to her third child, Apollo, with her now ex Gavin Rossdale in 2014 at the age of 44. The singer, now 47, joked: “He has a direct link to God.”

Helen Fielding , 48

Life has mirrored art for Bridget Jones’ author Helen. Just like her heroine, played by Renee Zellweger, inset, Helen became a mum in her 40s.
Helen, had her son Dashiell at 43 but was 48 when she gave birth to daughter Romy with her former partner, the American comedy writer Kevin Curran.
She said of becoming a mum: “I wish I’d known that the parent equipment would be more trouble than the baby. You’ve got the stroller, the car seat, the bottle warmer, the bottle steriliser, the nappy changing table, the electronic mobile that goes on top of the nappy changing table…
“Then when you actually get the baby you think I didn’t really need all these things! They come home from hospital and all you want is a couple of nappies and a cushion.”

Iman , 45

The supermodel, now 61, had Alexandria, her first child with David Bowie, at 45. Fellow model Christie Brinkley let Iman hold her baby at a fashion shoot.
Iman said: “So, I say it took two blondes to get me pregnant: Christie and David. It is a miracle.”

Kelly Preston, 48
Actor John Travolta’s wife had her third child, Benjamin, six years ago at the age of 48. She admitted: “When I found out I was pregnant, I was floored. I’d snuck out of bed and then came back and woke Johnny up in bed. We both started crying. It was wonderful.”
Kelly, now 53, added: “It’s pretty amazing having a child at this age.”

Halle Berry , 47

It seems no one was more surprised than the Hollywood star when she became a mum for the second time, aged 47, with son Maceo in 2013.
She said: “They call it a geriatric pregnancy. I was, on my way, kinda premenopausal so to have this happen was a shock.” Halle was 41 when she had daughter Nahla.

Geena Davis , 48
The Thelma and Louise star was 48 when she welcomed twin boys Kian and Kaiis into the word in 2004, two years after giving birth to daughter Alizeh at the age of 46.
Speaking about having three close together, the 60 year old said: “It’s been really wonderful, but it was overwhelming.”

Cherie Blair , 45

The former PM’s wife was 45 when she had Leo, her fourth child. She revealed in her autobiography her surprise baby was conceived during a trip to Balmoral. Cherie, now 62, said: “It is so long since we had our other three children that I had forgotten quite what an ordeal those last few hours of labour can be.”

Sharron Davies , 44

The former Olympic swimmer went through four years of painful IVF and two miscarriages before giving birth to her third child Finley at the age of 44 in 2007. Sharron, now 53, said: “Being an older mum has its advantages. Whether you are having your first, second or third, you know what you want.”

Sian Williams , 44

The Channel 5 newsreader was 26 when she gave birth to her first child and was 44 when she had her fourth in 2009.
The 51-year-old is mum to sons Joss, 24, Al, 22, with first husband Neale Hunt and has a son Seth, 10, and daughter Evie, six, with current husband Paul Woolwich. (mirror.uk.co)

Despite this somehow or another I _ nd myself teaching, either in a workshop, at a retreat, in a restaurant, in a maxi, and in print. Today I’m going to teach about ignorance. Just before the Christmas season began I wrote an impassioned article about just how inexcusable ignorance was in today’s world. I also wrote on the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year, post-truth. There is a trend of willful ignorance I’m still trying to wrap my head around and then I stumbled across it.

There is a science to the study of ignorance as well as a science behind keeping the average Kevin and Keisha in the dark and it’s name is Agnotology.

Agnotology is de_ ned as the study of wilful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win favour. Hard to believe isn’t it? I’m usually dismissive of conspiracy theories but it’s disconcerting to think that there are individuals and organisations that are creating ignorance for their own bene_ t. Don’t get me wrong I’ve not been labouring under the assumption that the world is full of rainbows and roses. After more than a decade as a practising social worker, I can assure you I am more than aware of the grimy underbelly of our society. The only conclusion I can draw is that we send children to school and educate them, then work just as hard to ensure they become ignorant as adults.

This study of the science of ignorance started when Stanford professor, Robert Proctor, began studying documents related to the 1994 American congressional hearings on the tobacco industry. He realised ignorance is not always as simple as the absence of knowledge or something forgotten but it is also cultural and can be engineered and used as a political tool. There is power in keeping people ignorant. Radical terrorist groups are really good at making use of that power but it’s not limited to universally agreed on nasties like ISIS, even regular special interest groups are guilty of same. Campaigns of manipulated information and blatant untruths are rife. It doesn’t take much effort to sniff out some of the nonsense but more often than not it is insidious and not so easy to spot.

This is not about learning to read and write, literacy is a tool that we all require to be functional. Rather this is about diligence in seeking the truth and dedication to facts. One thing that most education systems fail to teach these days is critical thinking. Quite frankly it seems they stopped teaching critical thinking a while ago. Recent trends in education seem to demand rote learning leaving our youth and most adults unequipped to navigate this posttruth world being run by demagogues and organisations skilled in agnotology. Educators and parents have failed to impart the knowledge that will let youth be able to tell a snake oil salesman or a charlatan from someone telling the truth. We have dark days ahead if we can’t _ x this situation. Anyone with an eye on the news can see history is repeating itself. We’ve been taught that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it and while we haven’t forgotten what has happened in the past, it seems we’re powerless to stop it. These days the voices of reason and logic are very faint and are being drowned out by the sound of empty barrels.

It’s clear there is collective blame here, people are vulnerable when they don’t understand something. A policy, an abstract concept, an economic principle, a philosophy that is important to know but has not been adequately explained by more traditional and objective sources, leaves people vulnerable to purveyors of misinformation. It’s the responsibility of educators, the clergy, the media (yes, even me) to share information, to put the truth in the hands of people on the street. The last party to shoulder the blame is you, ensuring you are not left ignorant falls on you. Google is a search engine, it can’t tell you what is true from what is false. Don’t trust everything you read online, the same applies to the printed word. Truth is found in multiple sources and double checking the facts, it is not a single click of the mouse away.

It’s not easy, it’s not convenient and often the truth is the last thing we want to hear, but it is necessary. To be frank, I hate to think I’m being manipulated and misled by anyone, especially nameless, faceless people scheming in some dark room.

I know it’s a new year and all and I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but with all the talk of state sponsored cyber warfare and misinformation swaying elections, I’ll be even more wary of the things I believe. The consequences of ill informed decisions made in 2016 will be experienced this year and in those to come. Let’s make more of an effort to be better informed and not leave ourselves vulnerable to misinformation to the bene_ t of the unscrupulous. It will take the wisdom of sages past to rectify the problems of today, if only we can see things for what they are.

If we don’t, we’ll be reliving nightmares we’ve only read about in history books.
