In his father’s footsteps
20-year-old Ta’zyah O’Connor takes kaiso crown
PORT OF SPAIN
\\\\\ Michael Mondezie
“THE title comes first!”
That was the emphatic re-
sponse from newly-crowned
National Calypso Monarch
Duane Ta’zyah O’Connor
when asked to rank the three
prizes handed to him after
winning the competition at
Dimanche Gras, Metamor-
phosis: Mud to Mas, early
yesterday at the Queen’s Park
Savannah, Port of Spain.
O’Connor, just 20 years
old, donned the purple kai-
so crown and lifted the huge
trophy, pocketed $500,000
in cash and drove off the Sa-
vannah stage in a brand-new
2023 Suzuki Cross SUV.
“I think is the title. I don’t
think the money and the car
is that important. It has to be
the title, because you’re do-
ing something that you love. I
think that’s the most important
thing,” O’Connor, leaning on
his new vehicle, told the Ex-
press on the Savannah stage.
O’Connor was near perfect

ular nation-building calypso
“Sing Hallelujah”, topping

IT was the most anticipated band in San
Fernando Jouvert celebrations that was
expected to display a colourful critique
of the country’s current affairs, but this
year, it was left up to eight founding
members of the Blue Boys Jouvert band
to keep the tradition alive.
And with a two-year lapse caused by
the Covid-19 pandemic, many expected
a barrage of attacks on social and po-
litical matters, as displayed in the tradi-
tional Mas of the past.
But it was left up to bandleader Val-
miki Ramsingh and his few Ole Mas
characters to keep the culture alive,
as they made a lonely chip before the
judges at the Southern Academy for the
Performing Arts (SAPA).
There were no more traditional mas
bands.
The band titled “Ah Blue Because...”
attempted to highlight the burning is-
sues in Trinidad and Tobago including
the tragedy at Paria Fuel Trading Co
Ltd last February, where four divers lost
their lives, and the recent Watson Duke
fiasco.
The characters held up placards
reading “Calling Piper”, “Police Arrest
Warden” and “Pee Dee Pee Potty in ah
mess”.
The rising crime was also addressed
in the topic “People Vanishing in Trini-
dad–56 people vanished”.
The band’s 2023 presentation was
dedicated in memory of former mem-
ber Dave Ramsingh, who died earlier
this month.
Blue Boys has been a staple in San
Fernando Jouvert celebration for 41
years, winning the Band of the Year title
for 25 years consecutively.
In a Facebook post last month,
Ramsingh called on masqueraders to
help him keep the tradition alive.
He wrote, “Blue Boys won Jouvert
Band of the year 25 consecutive years..
this is our 41st year...let’s keep this pre-
cious art form alive..let’s play Mas.”
San Fernando Mayor Junia Regrello
noted that traditional Ole Mas had de-
clined in recent years.
He said, however, there was a plan
to revisit the tradition in an effort to re-
vitalise Ole Mas in San Fernando.
In an interview with the Express, Re-
grello said, “Traditional Mas is declin-
ing. We have a plan to revisit this aspect
of Jouvert in an effort to restructure it.”
Regrello said traditional Mas bands
were also restricted due to lack of re-
sources.
The Ole Mas bands, he said, were
being outnumbered by the modern
bands outfitted with music trucks, live
entertainment and all-inclusive sections.
And the modern bands came, small-
er than in previous years, but in full
force jumping to music from big trucks.

After Port of Spain Mayor Joel

CoP: Incident-free so far pointed in the dwindling number

CARNIVAL 2023 began incident-free
with no reports of serious reported
crimes throughout Trinidad and Toba-

This was confirmed by Commission-
er of Police Erla Harewood-Christopher
in a press release yesterday.
She noted that the “Mother of All
Carnivals was matched by the Mother of

shootings and murders for Jouvert cele-
brations across all ten Divisions.
Harewood-Christopher joined her

She said she was “extremely
pleased” with the combined efforts of all
ten Divisions in ensuring that there were
no major incidents and that revellers
and spectators were kept safe during
yesterday morning’s activities.
She said the “meticulous planning
and preparations, training and ramping

of spectators.
“I remember the crowds that
used to be here to enjoy the Ole
Mas competition. It is sad to see
that not many people are coming
out to enjoy it,” she said. “I think
Ole Mas is dying but when I come
out, I play for the love of Mas. The
dwindling crowd is not appealing
at all. The stands are empty this
year, so I hope things change next
year. Maybe people don’t have the
confidence to come out. I’ve won
the competition about two or three
times already, so I’m excited to be
back out.”
It was a family affair for the
Montanos.
Tourism and Culture Minister
Randall Mitchell’s mother Valerie
Mitchell also participated in the
competition alongside her sidekick
Lystra Kangalee.
The women portrayed “Farley

The two acted as a husband
and wife boxing each other.
Dwindling crowds
When asked about the dwin-
dling crowds for the King and
Queen of Jouvert competition
compared to previous years, Mar-
tinez instead focused on the season
overall.
He said he was pleased with the
2023 Carnival season, particularly
with the reduction in crime.
“I think that at 4 a.m., a lot of
people are getting ready to play
Jouvert. I’ve seen a lot of activity
taking place in the city, a lot of the
bands getting ready, and there’s
been a lot of activity taking place
and developing.
“This morning, it’s a wonderful
event with all the activity, all the
promotions, and everything that
the Carnival has to offer. There
is a reduction in crime within the
city. I don’t know if it is because
there is additional police presence
but there are a lot of police officers
around checking vehicles, so the
and we expect those numbers to
be the same,” he said.
He said reports by the Trinidad
and Tobago Promoters Association
about low turnout to various Carni-
val events were not accurate.
“Those reports have not been
accurate. We are doing assess-
ments but I don’t believe that is ab-
solutely true. I am extremely happy
that there has been quite a build
and the events have been very suc-
cessful in my view and everybody
is really buzzing and very excited,”
he said.

Lacklustre
Downtown
A trickle of bands on South Quay
PORT OF SPAIN
\\\\\ Rickie Ramdass
rickie.ramdass@trinidadexpress.com

IT was hyped as the “Mother of All

Carnivals”, but the Parade of the
Bands-at least in downtown Port of
Spain-was near to non-existent for
most of yesterday.
Revelry on a Carnival Monday
is always quieter than on Carnival
Tuesday, but it was also expected
there would have been heightened
“vibes” in 2023.
But there were complaints by
spectators and vendors who ques-
tioned the lack of activities yesterday.
For the past two years there was
no Parade of the Bands because of
the Covid-19 pandemic.
With restrictions now lifted and
Carnival allowed to proceed, many
people anticipated that revellers
would have taken advantage of this
year’s celebration to “make up for the
past two years”.
The first band to cross the judg-
ing point at South Quay was The Lost
Tribe at 11.45 a.m., followed by Pa-
parazzi at 12.15 p.m.
It would not be until around 2 p.m.
that the third band made its way to
the judging point.
From there on, a number of small
bands began to trickle in with a bit
more pace.
But even with this, vendors contin-
ued to complain.

Poor sales on South Quay
When asked how sales were, Mi-
chael Mitchell, a vendor at South
Quay, said he expected sales would
have been much higher than they
were.

“Things real slow. Hardly
anybody buying anything. With
all the hype about this being
the Mother of All Carnivals, I
thought it would have had more
vibes. But it have no vibes. Bands
hardly passing and people hardly
buying,” he said.
Mitchell said he was still hope-
ful that “the pace would pick up”
and that he would be able to
recoup the money he spent on
drinks along with some profit.
“I have faith, man. Things
might get better later and (today).
I hope so, yes,” he said.
Another vendor, who identi-
fied himself only as Chris, said he
too had slow sales.
“You have to remember that
things does be more slow on a
Monday compared to Tuesdays,
but I thought this year would
have been a lot more mad see-
ing that we didn’t have Carnival
for the last two years. I say plen-
ty more people would come out
and make up for the past two
years,” he stated.
“All that millions they spend
on Carnival and we can’t even
make back we money. Previous
years was plenty better than this.
And they saying this will be the
‘Mother of All Carnivals’?” shout-
ed another vendor.
One spectator said he was
not willing to “waste more time”
in Port of Spain to see a band
cross the judging point every
half-hour or so.
“I going back home just now.
This not making sense, I will
come back tomorrow. By then it
might be better,” he said.
Hoping for epic finale
But some of the spectators
who lined South Quay said they
were pleased that, after two
years, they were once again able
to enjoy the Greatest Show on
Earth.
“Yeah, it is a little slow, but say
what? I’m just glad that we have
Carnival again because this is we
thing. People probably tired from
Jouvert but I feel it will eventually
pick up,” said Sharmilla Bhag-
wandeen.
While she said she had never
played mas, Bhagwandeen said it
was customary for her family to
visit the capital city every year to
view the revelry.

Before his death yesterday, Winchester, 33,

Winchester died on impact after his car spun
out of control, became airborne and smashed into
a tree shortly after 10 a.m.
Police said Winchester was driving a grey Nis-

overtook a line of cars, lost control on the north
side of the road, his car jumping an embankment
and slammed into the tree.

The kaleidoscope of colour, sheer pag-

sense of joie de vivre and the penchant for
a good Trini-style Carnival parade soared.
Consensus among masqueraders, band
managers, policemen, security personnel,
vendors, hucksters (selling bandannas) and
people from all walks of life was “the Car-

THERE were few masqueraders and
few spectators by 5 p.m. yesterday for
the Parade of the Bands in San Fernan-
do.
Unlike prior to the Covid-19 pan-
demic when droves of people would
gather on the pavement in anticipation
of viewing the bands, few people were
waiting along the route yesterday.
From Royal Road to Coffee Street,
masqueraders were next on to Cipero
Street. At around 4 p.m. however, there
were small groups of people viewing the
few revellers as they danced and gyrat-
ed along to the songs from the music
trucks along Cipero Street.
The bands included Jagessar Cos-
tumes’ Unforgettable, Southern Mas As-
sociates which presented Native, Kalich-
aran Mas with its presentation Reset and
Fireworks Promotion with Ascendance.
Revellers from the bands Black Heart
Productions RR Team and June An-
drews, Anton Duncan and Associates
were also on spot.
Some of the other bands registered
to participate in yesterday’s parade in-
cluded Alvin Maynard and Friends, D’
Jammerz International, Just Illusion Mas,
Sheanna Alleyne and Associates, A&K
Fashion Lab and Roll Call, and Bman

The bands were expected to make
their way onto the Rienzi Kirton High-
way, head into the heart of San Fernan-

turned off along Chancery Lane, in-front

under the sobriquet “Papa
Mel”, audience members de-
scribed it as both memorable
and inspiring.
Despite his best effort, he was
not among the finalists performing
at Sunday night’s Dimanche Gras
competition.
Lezama, who is in his mid-20s, is
not deterred.
He has spent over ten years in
remand charged with murder, but is
not letting the past define him and is
seeking to encourage young people
to stay away from a life of crime.
Speaking with the Express shortly
after his performance, he explained
that he was accustomed to perform-
ing within the prison walls, and was
the nine-time Youth Training and
Rehabilitation Centre (YTRC) mon-
arch.
He is also the reigning Prisons
Monarch.
And while the at-times-
unforgiving Skinner Park audience
welcomed his contribution, he was
not upset that he had not advanced, and was
simply pleased to be given the opportunity
to send a positive message to young persons
to turn away from crime.
“Is my life I singing about, yuh know.
I believe doors opening since I sing this
song. The commissioner told me they have
a programme where they go to schools and
prisoners get to mentor the youths, and he
wants this song to lead that. I real looking
forward to that,” Lezama said.
Making amends
Speaking with the Express on Thursday,
acting Commissioner of Prisons Deopersad
Ramoutar said while he accepted the de-
cision of the judges at the competition, he
personally believed a great opportunity for
positivity was missed.
“At the end of the day, the judges’
decisions will be final, and we are not
looking for any favours. I just think that a
golden opportunity to add value to nation-
building was missed by not having Rommell
in the finals. He is a living beacon of, even
if you go through hard times, and poor
decisions have been made, that if you work
towards it, you can emerge as a beacon
of hope and positivity. He has spent ten
years in remand at the YTRC, and over that
time, he has done nothing but try to better
himself, and better those around him. He
has shown tremendous strength, character,
and resilience. And he does not want the
youth of this age to go through the same
things that he had to endure. This is why he
was singing about his life, and how there
was a better way.
“Rommell is a very talented individual.
He composed the song himself while in the
YTRC and asked if it was possible for him to
apply to partake in the competition. Given
his track record, we saw no issue with this.
We are all about rehabilitation. Persons are
in prison either because they are awaiting
their trials, or they are making amends for
wrongs they have been convicted of com-
mitting. Rommell is the former. He is still
awaiting trial after ten years. And while I
boxing. And the T&T Boxing Asso-
ciation has an excellent programme
to harness the energies and temper-
aments of young men who are on
the streets, which I would love to
encourage, to get them into an area
where they are able to focus their
energy and minds. Rommell has ex-
celled at this. But he is also a very
creative guy, winning the last nine
YTRC competitions, and is the cur-
rent reigning Prisons Calypso Mon-
arch. He is a man who is speaking
from his heart, as a changed individ-
ual, and I truly hope he gets his day
in court soon,” Ramoutar said.
Ramoutar also made special
mention of his officers at the YTRC,
who have been doing what he de-
scribed as “an excellent job” in re-
habilitating many of the minors who
are brought to the facilities.
He made special mention of Supt
Randall Orosco.
“He’s like a father figure to many
of them, and is key to organising
several of the opportunities that
they are given. He sees them for their po-
tential and, along with his complement, they
show those youths love, and empathy. They
are there for a reason, yes. But the hope is
that they will not always be there and they
will have to be reintroduced to society. So,
we want to show them that there are better
ways, better paths than the ones they took
which led them to our doors. And thus far it
is working. Our cultural programmes espe-
cially score very highly. So, these young per-
sons in YTRC have been shown love, and
have been rehabilitated, and I can only plead
for persons to give them the opportunity for
employment and for a new life, whenever
they are released,” Ramoutar said.

Prisons chief wants pardons for model inmates

ACTING Commissioner of Pris-
ons Deopersad Ramoutar is once
again affirming his position that
a number of prisoners who are
serving life sentences ought to be
considered for early release on
good behaviour.
Ramoutar spoke with the
Express on Thursday, noting
that there were people in the
Prison Service who have been
on remand for 15 years awaiting
trial, but who have been model
inmates and have gone through
all the necessary rehabilitation
programmes.
“The public would have heard
me speak at length on the need
and benefits of restorative justice.
I try to get my officers to focus on
our inmates and what is needed
to rehabilitate and reintegrate in-
mates into society. I’ve spoken at
length in trying to get society to
know that there are inmates here
in this system who are fit and
ready to be discharged. I’ve writ-
ten and spoken to the powers that
be, because we have dozens and
dozens of inmates who are fit and
ready to be discharged. And, to
me, keeping them in the system
will cause deterioration. There
are inmates here who have been
working tediously to turn their
lives around. They would have
been allowed their own space and
time to help do introspection, and
have embraced programmes we’ve
facilitated in the prison, and been
in situations of trust that were not
abused. These individuals, I hum-
bly submit, ought to be considered
for presidential pardons. I am a
very strong advocate for those
prisoners who are serving life
sentences, and who have been on
good behaviour, to be able to qual-
ify for a release from prison, via
presidential pardons or what have
you. We have dozens of inmates
who have been here for over 30
years, and two or more who have
been here over 40 years. I’m ap-
proaching 35 years in this service,
and I would have met some of
these individuals here when I first
started,” Ramoutar said.
‘A restorative approach’
He noted that, last year, he had
written to the State, giving them a
list of recommendations of people
who ought to be freed, and he was
hopeful that the State would act
on the recommendations he had
given to them in a timely manner.
Ramoutar also noted that a
“restorative approach” was just as
important as “restorative justice”
in his opinion.
“It’s not just about bettering
yourself after the fact. It’s about
how you think and how you man-
age a conflict in the given situa-
tion. It must be in a restorative
way, so that when you leave con-
flicts, you will engage both parties
positively. Parties leaving conflict
should feel a win-win solution,
even if they don’t reach a point
of agreement, but they were still
happy that they went through the
process and that opinions were
shared and heard. So people tend
not to re-offend in that similar sit-
uation,” Ramoutar said.
He explained that he believed
that this proposal will lead to im-
provements in the prison service
as he believed that the idea of an
opportunity for early release for
good behaviour would give in-
mates hope.
He noted that currently, incar-
cerated persons who are serving
long sentences, have engaged
in all prison rehabilitation pro-
grammes, and have documented
changes in their behaviour, would
be considered.
Ramoutar also thanked his
officers for their hard work and
dedication to their duty, noting
that sometimes prison officers felt
as though they were the “forgot-
ten arm” of the Ministry of Na-
tional Security.
“To be a prison officer is a
job that requires individuals of
immense patience, and passion.
We are not jailers. We are psychi-
atrists, rehabilitators, protectors,
mediators, and so many other
things that will be demanded from
us. We have to be everything to
a lot of persons, and I personally
don’t think there is enough appre-
ciation for all the work that prison
officers do and their contribu-
tions to society as a whole. And
when you consider all the roles
they have to perform, and the
risks that they encounter, and the
hours they put in, to me, I will say
boldly that I believe my officers
are severely underpaid. And I
hope that there will be change on
that front soon. That being said,
in the interim I just want to thank
them for all they’ve done, all they
are doing, and all they continue
to do. Their efforts are recognised
and appreciated,” Ramoutar said.

Jouvert
crowds in
Mayaro,
Cedros
\\\\\ Khamarie Rodriguez
FROM as early as 4.a.m. yesterday,
thousands of revellers funnelled into
the streets of Cedros and Mayaro to
be a part of local Jouvert celebra-
tions- the first since the onset of the
Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
The otherwise reserved localities
promised a “Bigger, Better Carni-
val”, to communities ravaged by un-
employment, infrastructural issues
and a two-year-long sense of des-
peration since the pandemic’s wake.
And according to representatives,
despite numerous challenges along
the way, this year’s events came to-
gether to offer residents a successful
respite, many crowding its streets
and empty spaces with dancing and
singing that lasted throughout the
day.
At the Mayaro Junction car park
yesterday, Culture and Events Com-
mittee chairman Roxanne Omalo
told the Express that nearly 9,000
residents had joined the festivities,
with at least four Jouvert bands hav-
ing crossed the event stage.
Buttressed by a heavy police
presence, she said, there had been
no incidents or injuries throughout
the morning period.
Omalo, who was recently elected
as the committee’s chairman, said
that the group had been allotted
31 days to pull together this year’s
Carnival. Despite this, she said, the
n ...TOBAGO TOO n n n n n
nnnnnn
event had been a true success at-
tracting thousands more than the
usual crowds of the years past.
“Words cannot explain the joy
the new committee experienced
this morning. We are not 100 per
cent satisfied, we are 150 per cent
satisfied. We are elated about what
happened. It was successful and in-
cident free.”
“We have a new committee elect-
ed on January 17 so we had exactly
31 days to execute the Carnival. As
the past Carnival queen for 2018
and 2020 and the chairman I told
them, people have been home, peo-
ple are depressed, give the people a
celebration so they know they are
welcome in Mayaro. The amount of
people who came out that never did
before because it was well execut-
ed,” she said yesterday.
10,000-strong in Cedros
Similarly at the Bonnasse Old Jet-
ty car park in Cedros, Carnival Com-
mittee secretary Coreece Wilson told
the Express that a crowd resembling
10,000 had made their way to the
“incident-free” festivities.
Though there was only one par-
ticipating band, she said, residents
had done their part in participating,
moving jovially throughout the area.
“We had one of the better Jou-
verts in a long time. People came
out and had a good time despite all

come, truth be told.
If you come to this space often,
you’d know that freedom and choice
are core messages. I’m therefore not
going to get into a conversation about
whether wining is lewd. Some of it
goes there for sure; but in our bar
that Friday night, it felt like a cultur-
al expression of dance enjoyment of
Soca music. This is the spirit in which
I’ll proceed.
As a public service, particularly
to visitors to Trinidad and Tobago,
I’m providing a brief guide to enjoy-
ing this day by engaging in safe and
responsible wining. If you feel that
you’re familiar with the protocols
and don’t need guidance from this
resident of eight years, you can leave
now. Stay, and hopefully you get
something from the conversation.
The number one complaint I get
from women I asked about wining
protocol is about men who don’t
know how to take their one wine and
be contented. A wine does not nec-
essarily signify a wish for continuing
engagement or a deeper bond – irre-
spective of vigour, intensity or degree
of contact. Some comings-together do
get intense, with her torso bent at 90
degrees and even 135 degrees from
the upright.
I’m not a fan of the full extreme,
but I’m not going to tell consenting
adults how to conduct themselves.
However, if you must engage in that
manner, it’s probably advisable to re-
strict it to your significant other. In the
event that you get such engagement
turn away is emphatic. Always respect
refusals. Wine engagement requests
shouldn’t be subject to negotiation.
Learn to recognise when a woman
is being rescued from you. Sometimes
a girlfriend will intervene by coming
up to her and performing a wine on
her, in a way that makes clear that
you’re not being wine-sandwiched,
but phased out. Say your thanks, and
leave.
Which brings us to protected cir-
cles. Be observant. A protected circle
could be a family, and it could include
their daughter playing mas for the first
time. Your worming your way in there
could be as welcome as a loud burp at
a dinner table.
Judge couple dynamics. Mas and
fired-up fetes are not the place for in-
securities. Blaxx was right… no wom-
an (or man, for that matter) wants an
owner. Even when engagement is fine
within coupledom, keep it brief and
don’t up the intensity.
Something I found out at fetes is
that some women have eyes in the
back of their head. The couple is en-
joying a stage show, and the man
is holding her from behind as they
groove. She always knows when an-
other woman gets grindy behind him,
and may have an issue with that. How-
ever, the road is different.
You’d be right to tell me that we
can’t play mas and ‘fraid powder. Faint
heart doesn’t win wine-ready lady.
And yet, a good rule of thumb for men
is generally to yield power of situation-
al decision-making to the woman. The
main message is be a good judge of
the situation. Enjoy mas, and be safe.

Machel, later for you

I WENT to the Machel Montano show
with my family in Chaguaramas many
years ago and the stands fell down and
many patrons were injured. The One
Show on Friday, February 17, 2023
hosted by Machel Montano was on my
bucket list this year.
Although I was eager to see the
Panorama finals, I opted to go to see
this great artiste perform after the
pandemic.
Friends from Toronto bought tickets
online for themselves and our friends
here in T&T as a surprise gift. We were
all in for a surprise compliments the
promoters of the One Show. Carnival
Friday 2023 our friends were busy,
skipped lunch and brought it to the
show, we all waited many hours in a
packed crowded setting for the gates
to open, we felt like lamb waiting to be
slaughtered.
When we finally got in one person
in the group got slaughtered by the
female guard who wanted to take away
the precious lunch rotis, she fought and
finally got in with her rotis. You can’t
fight a Trini for their roti!
We finally got through the protocols
and sat down. The screens were too
small, we could hardly see the stage.
The acoustics were all bad we could
not understand the words or the talk
from the mic. The DJ’s music was too
long as if there were no other artistes
available that night to cover that slot
and to keep disgruntled patrons happy.
The lines to get food and drinks were
too long.
We really got slaughtered. And, to
back it all, Liz Montano sat a few rows
in front of us with her hands in the air
when Machel presented himself around
1.30 a.m. Machel, you should have
been in at the start of your show. It was
your show.
Everyone who paid into Gen-
eral ($600), Platinum ($800) and
Diamond ($2,000) for such a show
felt cheated.
This is a lesson for all of us to learn.
A suggestion for some of the thousands
of disgruntled patrons, I dare you, put
out $500 each next year into the Soca
Monarch fund to keep the Soca Mon-
arch show alive again.
Machel can have his 41 shows
any other Friday night in year 2024.
Let us give all the vendors and all
those who make their money on that
particular Friday night a chance also.
We cannot expect the Government
to do it all when we want all the
potholes repaired and the Hasely
Crawford Stadium fully repaired.
Like a boss Machel tried something
on Carnival Friday and forgot that his
name is his brand. He did not do it Like
Ah Boss, although he went smiling all
the way to the bank.
An apology to the public of T&T
would be graciously acceptable,
because everyone loves Machel.
Trinbagonians, wake up, let the
Soca Monarch reign come 2024, give
all the other artistes a chance also.
Kudos to all the ladies who were all
beautifully dressed up in their gorgeous
sexy outfits for that show.
MUSIC AND FOOD: Soca star Nailah Blackman, speaking to the Express yesterday following an appearance in the
Caroline Williams Jouvert band Poudre, said, “I love the people of Trinidad and Tobago, our music, soca, and food.”

Get real: $1,500 Carnival and Canboulay: where it all began

for a mas ‘swimsuit’
THE Kings and Queens of the Carnival
bands are usually truly magnificent.
The ideas behind each portrayal, the
effort put into each costume, leave us
breathless with amazement. Same
thing with the costumes designed for
the Junior Kings and Queens. I looked
at the Parade of Bands for our children
and did not see one deliberately naked
child. They all wore beautiful little
costumes, were covered practically
from head to toe, and were dancing
and prancing merrily as they crossed
the stage.
What happens with the adult
Carnival costumes? Is there a
silent competition to see who can
bare the most skin without being
completely naked? I am personally
not against a bit of nakedness, but
why quite so much? What is the
incentive? Are the adult masquer-
aders getting value for money?
Fifteen hundred dollars for a swim-
suit, a head dress and something to
wave in your hand? Do we all need to
get very real?
The only difference with most bands
is colour scheme and, of course, who
has more participants willing to bare
it all. Around 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 or
6,000 men and women dressed for the
beach?
What is the price to be paid for
encouraging designers into going
back to the good old days when
costumes did not look like beach-
wear? In my respectful view the
prize money may be the answer to
inspiring fresh creativity.
I am thinking in the realm of a few
million for the top band. Three-quarters
of the decided amount for second place
and half of the winning figure for third
place. I think that some serious money
will cause creativity to bloom.
For a few million dollars it will be
a race to see who can create some-
thing meaningful. What year did T&T
masqueraders begin merrily shedding
practically all their clothing?
Who will be the first to admit that
they are being overcharged for beads
and feathers?
What is so special about paying
serious money to be naked? How about
a nice costume that you can actually
put on a clothes hanger?
When last did you see a real, cover-
the body- telling an interesting story-
type of carnival costume?
Only when young masqueraders
cross the stage?

COLONIALISM, slavery, inden-
tured labour and neo-colonialism
influenced the Trinidad-style
Carnival. One must acknowledge
the experience Trinidad Carnival
underwent to understand the
evolutionary process that gave it its
passion and flavour.
Here, the Carnival had a com-
plete metamorphosis, a rebirth,
resulting from the unique historical
and social pressures of the 19th
century. These radical transforma-
tions make the Trinidad Carnival a
local product in form, content and
inner significance.
The Africans and French both
played roles in the evolution of
Carnival on the island. Carnival
was a time both groups could
show off their traditions: their
memory banks, hidden transcripts,
and power. However, there was a
time when there were two sets of
Carnivals in Trinidad.
After the apprenticeship period,
from 1838, on August 1, the freed
Africans celebrated Freedom
Day Carnival to rejoice at the
losses of their masters through
their ritualistic Canboulay. This
involves singing, stickfighting,
dances and masquerades. It was
a re-enactment of the past when
the plantation owners gathered
the slaves to put out the burning
canes. Sometimes, the slaves them-
selves started the fires in protests
and rebellion. Nonetheless, it was
a big event and an occasion to be
outside with much excitement for
the enslaved Africans.
After about a decade
post-Emancipation, the Canbou-
lay assimilated into the French
pre-Lenten Carnival activities. In
many ways, this was a benefit
because the Canboulay cele-
brations now lasted three days.
The Canboulay parade is mainly
responsible for the arrangement of
organised bands because bands’
portrayals were in orderly sections
and themes. The musicians and
flambeaux, or torch bearers,
led the parade, followed by the
boutonnieres, or stickfighters, then
the king and queen and their royal
attendants, next the freedmen
and women marchers, and after
that, those carrying the food and
refreshments.
There is an annual Canboulay
ritual re-enactment at daybreak
on Carnival Friday in East Port of
Spain to describe events of the
1881 Canboulay Riots.
Caribbean colonies not influ-
enced by the French have held
their carnival celebrations more
in keeping with their colonial
reality. English-colonised territories
such as Jamaica, St Kitts-Nevis,
Bahamas, Bermuda and Belize
celebrate their Jonkonnu Pitchy-
Patchy masquerade at Christmas,
Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Barbados still observes its Crop
Over annually on August 1.
Trinidad-style Carnival is a
home-grown cultural product. Car-
nival projects our cultural diversity
within our society and encourages
visitors to the island. The three
pillars of Carnival made Trinidad
the epicentre of Carnival and the
premier destination for Carnival in
the world. Our indigenous music
of calypso, soca and chutney; our
steelpan, the only percussive mu-
sical invention in the 20th century;
and our traditional mas characters.
These three pillars make our
festival stand out from others by
highlighting the unique features of
our country.
Carnival started as a way for
enslaved people and their owners
to celebrate their versions of the
masquerade. Trinidad-style Carni-
val has since evolved into a global
phenomenon.

Jno.Baptiste won the competition from a field of ten con-
testants, including two former monarchs, at the Windsor
Park Sports Stadium, Forecourt.
Jno.Baptiste, who was making his debut in the compe-
tition as part of the carnival celebrations that climax today
with the traditional street parade and jump-up, won with
his tunes, “Dick Taylor Ship” and “De Boy Cut”.
“People keep saying that I am young and I may be
the future of calypso, I consider myself to be one of the
bright stars in calypso,” he told reporters soon after he
was crowned, adding, “but I think we can revolutionise
the calypso genre a little bit more, bring it back to what it
used to be before, and try to create albums so that people
can play at any time.
“I do not want calypso to be a genre that is dead af-

the tune “De Boy Cut”, which was sung for the first time
on Sunday night, “was written to understand it at the mo-

“I listened to my team and I had a very strong team that
was behind me supporting me and they advised me not to
release the song,” he said, describing the song as one that
any person can enjoy in the moment.
“We put a presentation together and that is why we
went ahead with that strategy and clearly it worked. My
music is about sending a message and that is what I basi-
cally came into calypso to do and anything else was just an
added bonus,” he added.
The nine-time calypso monarch, Dennison “Dice” Jo-
seph, placed second, while Chester “Daddy Chess” Letang
placed third.

“To everything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven…”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
MY friend, whatever is happening right
now in your life, at your home or
office, in the country, all over the
world – try to remember that all
of it is just for a season.
So (naturally) these words -
‘It came to pass!’ came to mind
while thinking about this topic,
and as those words resonated
with me, I was reminded that
none of what we experience is
going to last forever – even the
The seasons of death, grief, fear, and alarming
conditions must give way to joy, faith and peace. But we
must determine in our hearts to let the most recent season
go – so that we can welcome and embrace the new season
good times! Admittedly, it is easier to
enjoy the good-times seasons than the
challenging-times seasons, yes? Howev-
er, knowing that something challenging
will not last forever, should give us some
measure of comfort or consolation.
We must understand the four seasons
of our life The following quoted story is
food for thought:
“A king had four sons. To teach them an
important lesson he decided to ask them to
visit a cherry tree in the deep forest of their
kingdom. During the peak winter, he asked
his eldest son to go and see the tree and
write a description of the tree. The prince
Seasons of life
came back and told that the tree was barren, old,
and hopeless. Not even birds are coming near the
tree. It looks useless and maybe it is better to cut
it down and use the wood before it rots.
During the middle of the spring, the king
asked his second son to visit the tree and write a
description of the tree. The prince came back and
told that the tree is not barren, rather it is full of
beautiful cherry blossoms and looks young and
promising. The tree is surrounded by butterflies
and bees who are enjoying its flowers.
Then, in the summer the king sent his third
son to go to see the tree and come back with a
description. When the prince returned, he told
them that there were no blossoms, rather the tree
was loaded with delicious cherries and looked
mature and valuable. Many birds are living on
the tree and are enjoying the fruits.
Finally, in autumn the king asked his young-
est son to visit the tree and bring back a descrip-
tion of the tree. The prince returned and de-
scribed that the tree now has no fruit or flowers
as his brothers described. But it looks beautiful
with its coloured leaves with lovely shades of
gold, red and orange. It looks like an ideal object
for a painting.
Then the wise king asked his sons “What
did you learn from this experience?” The other
three princes were still thinking when the
youngest son shared his understanding: (1)
Like the tree, we experience different seasons
of life and we are greatly affected by them. (2)
We should not judge our life based on only the
current season in our life. (3) Every season has
a purpose. (4) No matter whatever the current
season is, it will change again.”
End of quoted story.
When we go to bed each night, we must
try our very best not to worry about anything.
Sometimes the thing or situation goes away
faster when we do not worry. We all know that
the ‘seasons’ in our lives change, just as winter
will give way to spring in the countries with 4
seasons.
The seasons of death, grief, fear, and alarm-
ing conditions must give way to joy, faith and
peace. But we must determine in our hearts to
let the most recent season go – so that we can
welcome and embrace the new season.
Imagine what some folks will look like if
they ‘beg’ winter to stay, and lock themselves
indoors so that they will not have to welcome
spring! I know, that’s a stretch, but hopefully
it will bring the point of not staying in the
seasons of sadness for too long.
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
comes in the morning!” You’d better believe
that my friend, because it is true.
I can tell you because I know. However, we
only get to morning when we stop mourning!
Bear in mind that we don’t only mourn when a
physical death has taken place.
We mourn when a relationship changes
from a really happy one to an estranged and
painful outcome. We mourn the loss of a
job, a cherished possession or pet. To stop
mourning does not mean that we forget the
‘mourned’.
What it means is that we are taking off the
emotional sackcloth, and replacing the ashes
with the beauty of a bright – not sad - spirit –
ready to welcome the season of joy again.
We have no idea when our last season in
this life will end. So, from today, we move into
the season of living life fully, with the intention
of maximizing everything that is good…be-
cause the season will pass!
T.Y.F.!
In everything give God thanks!
Much love!?
Be blessed!

UWI Old Yard 2023: A Sense of Home
T
HE University of the
West Indies (The
UWI) Department of
Creative and Festival
Arts (DCFA), brought
a sense of home at its annual
Carnival event, The Old Yard,
when its Gordon Street facility
was transformed into a Gayelle
with architectural style reminis-
cent of long ago.
The Old Yard gave visitors an
interactive and dynamic journey
into Trinidad and Tobago’s cul-
tural history including a Carnival
masquerade of gorillas, moko
jumbies, fancy Indians, blue
devils and dame Lorraines.
Student-led traditional Carni-
val characters were the highlight
with their portrayals of bats,min-
strels and burrokeets. Perfor-
mances featured Theatre (dame
Lorraine Ball, blue devil), Music
(rhythm section) and dance
degree (dance performances)
students and alum (jab jabs,
pierrot grenade) prominently.
This year showcased a midnight
robber band as the special act.

Michael B Jordan shares thoughts on

another relationship after breakup

I
T’S fair to say that Michael B
Jordan is riding high at this
point in his career. The Hol-
lywood A-lister has a num-
ber of big-screen hits under
his belt and is currently looking
forward to the release of his latest
film, Creed III, which also marks
his directorial debut. While Jor-
dan’s body of work receives plenty
of attention, his love life has also
been a topic of discussion.
That level of scrutiny only
increased when he began dating
Lori Harvey a few years ago. Now
that the two have broken up, some
wonder what lies ahead for Jordan
romantically, and he just shared
some thoughts on the possibility
of entering another relationship.
The former Sexiest Man Alive is
definitely one of Hollywood’s most
eligible bachelors at the moment,
so he’d certainly have no trouble
finding another lady.
However, it doesn’t sound like
the 36-year-old star is looking
to rush into another romance so
quickly.
He sat down with Rolling Stone
for a wide-ranging discussion and,
when he was asked about get-
ting into another relationship, he
offered some keen thoughts:
Of course I think about it,
but I definitely want to try to be
responsible with that, knowing
how I wanted to be as present as
possible. It’s gonna happen when
it’s supposed to happen.
Michael B Jordan and Lori Har-
vey were first romantically linked
in late 2020, and they became
Instagram official in January 2021.
The two quickly became “couple
goals” for folks around the Inter-
net, with many even making note
of Jordan and Harvey’s various
adorable moments.
Jordan even impressed his
former girlfriend’s adopted father,
Steve Harvey – who was initial-
ly suspicious of him because he
seemed too kind.
By June 2022, it was report-
ed that Harvey and Jordan had
broken up. It’s more recently been
confirmed that Harvey is in a rela-
tionship with actor Damson Idris.
Following the split, the Wire
alum has shared thoughts on
what it was like to go through the
breakup in the public eye.
He explained that he was
FORMER SEXIEST MAN ALIVE:
Actor Michael B Jordan.
“lucky enough to have a lot of
work” on his plate at the time to
keep him preoccupied.
His comments also indicat-
ed that he’s not eager to keep
fuelling fan’s questions about his
since-ended relationship. Though
he also said that that period in his
life was “an experience for [him]
to grow and learn.”
Few people can truly under-
stand what it’s like to experience
a breakup and have the world see
much of it transpire. Luckily, for
Michael B Jordan, he does have
people that he can lean on for
support.
For example, Creed III co-star
Jonathan Majors revealed that he
and Jordan bonded over their “girl
troubles” and more while making
the threequel. It never hurts to
have a buddy, especially one that
you can confide in whenever times
get tough.
Michael B Jordan seems to be
taking a cerebral approach when it
comes to his love life moving for-
ward. As he says, a new romance
will happen when it happens.
He’s previously stated that
he believes in the age-old adage
that what’s for you is for you, and
that’s some firm wisdom to follow
when it comes to love – or any-
thing for that matter.

UNICEF U-Report
secondary schools
competition
THE best way to understand youths’
challenges in the 21st century is to
ask them. But UNICEF has gone one
step further. An even better way
is to empower youth to share their
own stories through the technology
already in their hands and this is ex-
actly what the fund is doing through
U-Report.
U-Report is a web and app-based
platform that supports adolescents
and youth, working as a tool to share
information, raise awareness and
collect quantifiable data that UNICEF
can action. Established in 2011, the
platform has continued to grow and
is now in over 95 countries, includ-
ing Trinidad and Tobago, with more
than 28 million users.

worked on creating U-Report - a

designed to ensure your voice is
heard. I want you ALL to join and

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

DUSTIN
GOOD habits make light work of the business of being your best self.
But don’t let their automatic nature blind you to subtleties and the
unexpected beauty tucked inside the routine of your day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

YOU’VE always sensed there was more to life than can be experienced
with human senses. To think we see the world as it is may be naive, but
it’s also simple. When things get overwhelming, return to the touch-
stone of practicality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

THINK of what you’d like to give. In a social situation where people
are asking something of you, it will be easy to overpromise. Excellent
boundaries kick in when you’ve decided ahead of time what your limit
is.
SAM & SILO

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

WHEN you have a good idea and someone shoots it down, it’s a gift. You
need the outside world to stress your idea to make it not only good but
also strong. Besides, your ego can handle it today. You’re all about the
work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

ONE could argue that you are better off for the trials you’ve overcome
thus far, but life isn’t strictly about sacrifice. It’s now time to take full
advantage of all treats, perks and benefits offered to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

IT’S true you have been wronged, and it’s a story that’s hard to give up,
but you strongly want to move on. To prevent you from creating the
same types of problems, the past must be put to rest. A symbolic act
will clear your slate.
BEETLE BAILEY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

BOOKS, projects and other commitments have a way of holding space
in your energy field. You’ll free up fresh vitality by finishing what you
started. Two ways will work: actually finish it or just decide you’re done
with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

YOU would usually try to give what feels appropriate and comfortable,
but today’s circumstances may spur you to go beyond that point be-
cause you see there’s a great need to do so. You won’t regret it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

THE best training programs are designed to disguise the difference
between reality and the drill. Today, life’s lesson may be a simulation for
things to come, but you’ll get the most out of it by committing like it’s
real.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

EXPECT false starts, repeats and redos. When it happens, just know your
CURTIS

efforts will not be in vain. Any practice you get in now will make you
better prepared for a future triumph.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

ANYONE who tries to control you is likely to experience an instanta-
neous rebellion. If you feel that you just don’t have the words to say
what’s on your heart, try again tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

YOU’LL surprise your friends by acting on your fun impulses. Are you, by
any chance, getting the sense that the world is changing in big ways, as
a result of small, determined steps taken by individuals just like you?

Strong Pisces and Aquarius influences in Turner’s natal

a natural-born leader. Turner’s moon and Venus are in
Aries, the sign of the warrior. Look for her in the Netflix

Atsu’s body
returned
to Ghana

THE body of Ghana footballer

Christian Atsu, who was found
dead in his collapsed apartment
building in the Turkey earth-
quake, has been repatriated.
Atsu’s remains arrived in the
Ghanaian capital of Accra late on
Sunday, said Ghana vice-presi-
dent Mahamudu Bawumia, who
led a government delegation to
receive the body. Atsu’s body
was carried home in a casket on
a Turkish Airlines plane and was
accompanied by members of his
family and the Ghana ambassa-
dor to Turkey, the country’s Min-
istry of Foreign Affairs said.

“This loss is a very painful one
and this is a sad day for Ghana,”
Bawumia said. “We all prayed
and prayed, we hoped against
hope for every day that passed,
but God knows best.”

FLASHBACK: Fans of the Trinbago Knight ly two weeks after the devastating

record in 2022
THE 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier
League (CPL) had a combined
broadcast and digital viewership of
721.8 million. This is a new record
for the tournament and the third
year in a row where the total view-
ership has passed half a billion.
According to the CPL, the 2022
viewership figure represents a 39
per cent increase on the 2021 au-
dience, making it, according to the
organisation, the tournament the
second most watched T20 league
in the world.
The year 2022 saw the return
of fans to the “Biggest Party in
Sport,” with full stadiums adding
to the carnival atmosphere that
has become synonymous with the
Hero CPL. There were matches
in St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia,
Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana
with large crowds turning out in all
four countries.

earthquake that has left more
than 44,000 people dead in Tur-
key and neighbouring Syria.
Reports emerged a day after
the earthquake that Atsu had
been rescued from the rubble,
was alive and had been sent to
hospital, but they were mistaken.
The 31-year-old Atsu, who
played for Premier League teams
Chelsea and Newcastle, had
joined Turkish club Hatayspor
last year and scored the winning
goal in a league game on Febru-
ary 5, hours before the devastat-

No sweat for champ De Boulet

\\\\\ Shammi Kowlessar
CHEQUEDA DE BOULET cap-
tured the women’s title in anti-cli-
mactic fashion in the Trinidad and
Tobago Badminton Association’s
(TTBA) Senior Ranking Tourna-
ment last Tuesday night at Nation-
al Racquet Centre, Orange Grove
Main Road, Tacarigua.
The overwhelming favourite
was scheduled to tackle Amara
Urquhart in the “virtual” final af-
ter both players had won their two
other matches in the top-four play-
off, but did even have to pick up
her racquet as her opponent with-
draw with injury.
De Boulet, who captured a
Triple Crown when the National
Championship was last staged in
2019, had crushed her four op-
ponents in the first round-robin
group stage the week before and
was just as clinical in her two
matches in the final phase.
Urquhart also did not lose a
match in the tournament and
also played unbeaten to capture
the Under-17 crown in the junior
equivalent competition three days
earlier.
Cathline Ramroop, who had
lifted the Under-17 trophy in the
last tournament before the sport
was shut down almost exactly
three years ago because of Cov-
id-19, had been stunned 21-18,
21-18 by the player from the Cris-
tars Club the night before, and she
settled for third place with a 21-4,
21-16 triumph over Rachel Ragoo-
nanan.
The tournament began with
ten players doing battle in two
round-robin groups the week be-
fore, and there was also a play-
off for places fifth through eighth
places last Monday and Tuesday
night. Destiny Rattan ended up
fifth and was followed by Tenniya
Tobias, Tishelle George and Ke-
vi-Ann Quamina, respectively.
Fans were looking forward to
a showdown between De Boulet
and Nekeisha Blake, but the six-
time national champ pulled out
the night of her first match, two
days after the competition began
on February 6.
reported missing at the same time
as Atsu. Savut has still not been
found.
Bawumia promised that Atsu
would be given a fitting funeral
and said his death was a blow for
the people of Ghana. Atsu played
more than 60 times for his coun-
try after making his debut at the
age of 20 in 2012.
Atsu was also remembered
with moments of silence and oth-
er tributes at matches in England
and elsewhere this weekend. At
his former club Newcastle, fans
held up placards with his photo.
An image of him was put up on
a big screen at Chelsea’s game
against Southampton before kick-
off.

Jockey Williams
a doubt for
Cheltenham
\\\\\ LONDON
PAUL NICHOLLS fears he will be
without jockey Lorcan Williams
for the Cheltenham Festival after
the rider apparently contravened
the new whip rules at Haydock,
Saturday.
Williams prevailed by a short
head aboard Makin’yourmindup
in a driving finish to the Albert
Bartlett Prestige Novices’ Hurdle,
but Nicholls believes the rider
had committed a whip offence in
the process.
New rules surrounding whip
use were introduced last Monday,
with a tougher penalty structure
for breaches, starting at a four-
day suspension for going above
the permitted seven strikes.
Nicholls indicated Williams
had gone above that threshold,
with the race’s Grade Two status
ensuring any penalties would be
doubled under the new regula-
tions, with the champion trainer
claiming the rider is expecting 16
days on the sidelines.
However, the Ditcheat team
must wait until the whip review
committee meets today to have
any punishment confirmed and
with suspensions implement-
ed seven days later, any ban for
Williams would not begin until
March 7/8, which would rule him
out of Cheltenham if the jockey’s
prediction is right.
Nicholls told Betfair: “I think

Captain Pat Cummins will also
be returning to Australia due to
a serious family illness but will
return in time for the third Test,

thought he was going to get 16

Cheltenham which is tough real-

“It’s one of those situations, he
said if he hadn’t given him a cou-

his hands and get beat? This is
where there’s a grey area and it’s
difficult.
“I don’t know what the out-
come is, but it looks like he’s go-

which is terribly sad.”
Any whip suspensions in-
curred this week would come
into effect during Cheltenham

stable jockey Harry Cobden to
keep that in mind over the com-

He added: “Harry is going to

Australia are 2-0 down in
the four-Test series after being
thrashed by six wickets in the sec-
ond match in Delhi, Sunday and
by an innings and 132 runs in the
opener in Nagpur.
Hazlewood missed the first two
Tests in the series because of the
injury he sustained in the third
Test against South Africa in Sydney
in January.
His fellow quick Mitchell Starc
and all-rounder Cameron Green
also missed the first two matches
as both recovered from broken fin-
gers.
Tatum puts on
All-Star show
\\\\\ SALT LAKE CITY
JAYSON TATUM put on a re-
cord-setting show, and made Gi-
annis Antetokounmpo look like a
genius.
Tatum scored an All-Star
Game-record 55 points on his
way to winning MVP honours,
and Team Giannis ended LeBron
James’ hold on All-Star captain
supremacy by beating Team LeB-
ron 184-175 in the NBA’s annu-
al showcase exhibition, Sunday
night.
Tatum had 27 points in the
third quarter, another All-Star
Game record for any period. He
was the first pick by Antetokoun-
mpo in the starters’ portion of the
All-Star draft, and in the end, that
pick proved to be the right one.
And the MVP award Tatum
was given is named for Kobe Bry-
ant, one of his heroes.
“It means the world,” Tatum
said. “You think of all the legends
and great players that have played
this game, and in all honesty, re-
cords are made to be broken. I’ll
hold it for as long as I can, but I’m
certain someone will come along
in a couple years and try to break
it.”
Tatum broke Anthony Davis’
All-Star record of 52 points. He
was 22 of 31 from the floor, plus
had ten rebounds and six assists.
It was James’ first loss in six
times as captain. Antetokounmpo
improved to 1-2 in his All-Star
captaincies, and became the first
captain to hoist a new trophy pre-
sented to the winners of the All-
Star Game.

“Winner, winner, chicken din-
ner,” Antetokounmpo said.
Later, with a more serious tone,
Antetokounmpo said he had a rea-
son for choosing Tatum.
“I knew he would take it seri-
ous. It was a no-brainer,” he said.
Donovan Mitchell added 40 for
Team Giannis, who got 26 points
from Damian Lillard—including
the game-winner to push his team
past the target score.
Jaylen Brown scored 35 points
and had 14 rebounds for Team
LeBron, while Kyrie Irving had 32
points and 15 assists and Joel Em-
biid finished with 32 points.
Brown and Tatum—Boston
team-mates—were revelling in
a back-and-forth duel during a
stretch of the second half.
“It was a normal day for us,”
Tatum said. “Just millions of peo-
ple watching.”
Lillard, the winner of the three-
point contest on All-Star Saturday
Night, made eight threes—includ-
ing a half-court pull-up in the third
quarter.
“That was the worst basket-
ball game I’ve ever seen,” Team
LeBron coach Michael Malone
said, clearly poking fun at the de-
fence-optional event.
Winning coach Joe Mazzulla of
Team Giannis said he had a very
simple strategy.
“Stay out of the way, enjoy it,
have fun, allow the guys to just
be themselves,” Mazzulla said. “I
think it’s important, especially in
this league, that guys are just able
to be themselves.”

‘Wicket-taking option’ Matthews

Gabriel brought back for ODI series in SA
CRICKET WEST Indies (CWI)
senior men’s team lead selector
Desmond Haynes has described
Trinidad and Tobago fast bowler
Shannon Gabriel as “a wicket-tak-
ing option” for the Caribbean side
ahead of their three-match One-
Day International series against
South Africa next month.
Gabriel, who last played the
white-ball format in 2019, was
joint highest wicket-taker in last
year’s Super50 Cup, and with in-
juries to up-and-coming pacers
Jayden Seales and Anderson Phil-
lip, Haynes said that the veteran
Gabriel is an “ideal fit” for the
pitches and conditions they are
expecting to encounter in South
Africa.
According to CWI, Seales re-
mains unavailable for selection
following a knee injury and sub-
sequent surgery, while Phillip has
returned to training but is not yet
match-fit.
Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy
has been named in the T20I squad
subject to medical clearance.
The West Indies will play three
ODIs on March 16, 18 and 21,
followed by three T20Is on March
25, 26 and 28.
In the ODIs, Shai Hope will
have his first series as captain,
with allrounder Rovman Powell
appointed as the new vice-cap-
tain. In the T20Is, captain Rovman
Powell will be supported by a new
vice-captain in batting allrounder
Kyle Mayers.
Gabriel spearheaded the T&T
Red Force bowling attack for the
Super50 last November, taking
15 wickets in seven matches at
an average of 14.2 and he last
played ODIs for the West Indies
at the ICC Cricket World Cup in
July 2019.
Speaking about Gabriel’s re-
call, Haynes said: “We have had
some injuries to our fast-bowling
pool, so therefore we see Gabriel

Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, last week Sunday. —Photo: AP
as an ideal fit heading into South
Africa, and the surfaces we expect
to play on.”
“It is felt that we need some-
one to get those early wickets
and he is the kind of bowler that
can do that. Judging from his
performances in the CG United
Super50 Cup, he is potentially a
wicket-taking option up front,” he
added.
T&T’s Yannic Cariah, Akeal
Hosein and Nicholas Pooran were
selected on both teams.
Speaking about the T20I
squad, Haynes said: “For the
T20Is, we have an experienced
squad. What we are looking for is
to form a cohesive unit and look
at the players who we believe can
form the nucleus as we build to-
wards doing very well and chal-
lenging when we host the ICC
Men’s T20 World Cup in June
2024.”

likes Windies
fighting spirit
\\\\\ Roger Seepersad
roger.seepersad@trinidadexpress.com
DESPITE NOT making the semi-finals
of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup,
West Indies skipper Haley Matthews
said the tournament itself had a lot of
memorable moments for the Caribbean
side, but none were more pleasing than
the “brilliant” fighting spirit on display
in Sunday’s thrilling three-run victory
over Pakistan.
Given their poor record entering the
tournament, the Windies were not ex-
pected to get out of the group that in-
cluded top seeds India and England.
The Windies and Pakistan are both
out of the World Cup following India’s
five-run DLS win over Ireland in their
final group game yesterday, while Pa-
kistan will face England in their final
group fixture today at 9 a.m.
Losses to England and India in their
first two matches of the tournament
pushed the Windies’ losing streak to 15
games.
That ended with a last over win
against Ireland last Friday. Two days
later they beat Pakistan. Although the
margins were close, Matthews was
proud of her team’s fighting spirit.
Asked what was her favourite mo-
ment of the World Cup, Matthews said:
“I feel like there’s been a lot of them.”
“Obviously, the last two games defi-
nitely meant a lot to us. I said in the last
press conference that we spoke about
coming in here with two hard games up
front, but the measure of what kind of
team we really were, was going to be
sorted out by how these last two games
went, and I just think the fight that I saw
today was probably one of the favourite
moments for me,” she added.
Sunday, the Windies posted a sub-
par 116 for six off 20 overs before hold-
ing their nerve to restrict Pakistan to
113 for five.
“Defending 118/119 is never, ever
going to be easy, and the way that we
really went out there and threw our
bodies at the ball, the way our bowlers
stepped up to the plate where we knew
it was going to be a tough task was just
beautiful, not only to be a part of, but to
watch the other girls do it as well and

Rahm climbs to No. 1 after Genesis win

\\\\\ LOS ANGELES
JON RAHM is playing at such a high level
he felt he didn’t need the Official World Golf
Ranking to tell him he was the No. 1 player
in golf.
Rahm earned another trophy Sunday in
the Genesis Invitational, his fifth in his last
nine tournaments worldwide, and this was a
big one. He won on a course like Riviera, at a
tournament hosted by Tiger Woods and after
a tense battle with Max Homa that required
Rahm’s best golf.
And now he’s officially No. 1.
“I don’t need a ranking to validate any-
thing,” Rahm said. “Having the best season
of my life, and hopefully, I can keep it going.”
In a back-and-forth final round—Rahm
went from a three-shot lead to a one-shot
deficit at one point—the Spaniard pulled
away with a pivotal recovery for par, a 45-
foot birdie putt and an 8-iron to two feet on
the par-3 16th.
That carried him to a two-under 69 and a
two-shot victory over Homa (68), with Pat-
rick Cantlay (67) another shot behind.
“I wanted to push him. He is a spectacular
golfer,” said Homa, who got choked up twice
speaking to the media because of how much
his hometown event means to him. “I’ve
known him since college and he’s been like
this since then—No. 1 amateur in the world,
No. 1 player in the world, all the accolades.
“I wanted to make him beat me and I
think I did that.”
Woods could claim a small consolation.
He finished a 72-hole event for the first time
since the Masters last April, though he was
quick to joke, “Unfortunately, my streak con-
tinues.” He now has played 12 times as a pro
at Riviera without winning.
Under the circumstances, this wasn’t a
bad week. Woods played only three times
last year because of a fused back and bat-
tered legs from surgeries (left) and a car
crash (right). This was a rare appearance,
and Woods doesn’t know if he’ll play again
before the Masters.
He still had the largest gallery to the end,
thousands of fans packed on the hill over the
18th green to watch him close out with a par
in that familiar red shirt under a black vest.
And then the spectators turned their at-
tention to a terrific duel between Rahm and
Homa that wasn’t really decided until Homa
tried to chip in for birdie on the 18th and fell
to his knees when the ball banged off the
pin.
Rahm has not finished out of the top ten
in his last ten tournaments. It was his third
win in five starts on the PGA Tour this year,
and he already has earned more than US$9
million the last two months.
hold their own was just a brilliant sight
to see,” she added.
Looking ahead, Matthews believes
that new women’s leagues like the
Women’s IPL, will have a positive effect
on the development of the players from
the Caribbean where domestic women’s
cricket isn’t the most competitive.
“Hopefully, a lot more of our girls
can get into these leagues. I think a lot
of people look at these leagues as neg-
atives taken away from international
cricket, but I think for a team like West
Indies that may not have the best do-
mestic system, I think these leagues can
be very fruitful and very helpful for us,”
she said.
“I know they certainly helped me
from a young international player grow-
ing up, playing in these leagues from
17-18 years old, and I can only hope
that for the rest of the team, the girls get
the opportunity to do the same things.
And you know, I experienced playing
cricket all over the world and learning
from it as well,” the captain added.

Plenty potential
T&T U-17s edged out by El Salvador in round of 16
TRINIDAD and Tobago’s Men’s
Under-17 team will return home
tonight following their 3-2 defeat
to El Salvador in the knockout
phase of the CONCACAF U-17
Championship at the Estavio
Pensativo in Antigua, Guatema-
la, Sunday night.
The round-of-16 defeat was
a hard pill to swallow for the
Shawn Cooper-coached side, as
they came back to tie the scores
on two occasions to force extra
time before defender Michael
Ventura shot past goalkeeper Ai-
lan Panton for the winner.
This result followed a 1-1
draw with Barbados and two de-
feats to Canada (3-2) and United
States (3-1) in the group stage.
Early into Sunday’s encoun-
ter, El Salvador took the game
to T&T and opened the scoring
on three minutes, when Bryan
Vasquez rifled into the top cor-
ner from the edge of the area
following a weak clearance. The
Central Americans had the early
upper hand and kept pressing
for more but T&T remained re-
silient.

Liverpool face another tough Real Madrid assignment
\\\\\MANCHESTER
WITH 20 Champions League ti-
tles between them, Liverpool vs
Real Madrid is a meeting of two
European greats.
Their round-of-16 match at
Anfield today is also a repeat of
last year’s final in Paris, which
saw Madrid win the competi-
tion for a record-extending 14th
time after producing a series of
improbable comebacks just to
make it to the European show-
piece at the Stade de France.
“I still shake my head and
scratch my head,” said former
England coach and BT Sport an-
alyst Glenn Hoddle.
“I covered every one of those
games and I still don’t know how
they won it. They were out.”
Madrid secured come-
from-behind wins against Par-
is Saint-Germain, Chelsea and
the other games we only really
played in the last 45 minutes,”
Cooper told TTFA Media. “But
the other three games were also
finished with a lot of positives.”
Cooper added: “Many play-
ers rose to the occasion but none
more so than Malachi Webb. He
changed the game every time he
came on the field of play. We ex-
pected (Lindell) Sween and (Der-
rel) Garcia to influence the game
but both players were carrying
slight injuries which hindered
them from really taking off in the
tournament as they wanted. But
Garcia still had his moments and
assisted as best as he could car-
rying an ankle injury which he
sustained in the US game.”
Sunday against El Salvador,
England-born Rio Cardines
would make his presence felt
when he clinically fired home
from inside the box after some
neat work by Sween for a 1-1
scoreline on 33 minutes. Pan-
ton had to come up big after
the break to keep T&T in it. But
there was little he could do to
deny captain Walter Menjivar
who was sent clear on goal and
El Salvador were now 2-1 ahead
Manchester City in each of the
knockout rounds before beating
Liverpool 1-0 in the final.
“They were like a boxer, they
were up against the ropes and
they were half-way down the
ropes and you’re thinking the
ref’s going to step in and stop the
bout,” Hoddle said.
“I don’t know what happened,
they just kept going. And they
had that quality.”
Where the Champions League
is concerned, anything seems
possible for Madrid, who won
the trophy three years in a row
from 2016-18 at a time when
Barcelona were dominating the
Spanish title.
But if any team can rival Ma-
drid’s ability to produce the un-
expected in European club soc-
cer’s most prized competition, it
is Liverpool.
There was the famous come-
and looking to kill off T&T.
But Cooper’s men didn’t lie
down. Substitutes Webb and
Garcia helped T&T to turn up
the tempo. With eight minutes
left in regulation, Cardines com-
bined with Garcia after evading
two defenders before the latter
picked out Webb and he calmly
slotted home for the equaliser.
This was his second goal of
the tournament. T&T went into
extra time scenting a possible
surge from behind but it was not
to be. Ventura had the final saw
two minutes into the second pe-
riod of extra time with a well-tak-
en shot from 30 yards out which
left Panton without a hope.
Cooper later said: “The game-
plan was to stop the opposition
going down the sides of the
field, especially down the right
side which I thought they placed
more emphasis on. We did so
for the most part but at the end,
two of their goals came from at-
tacks on that right side where we
failed to make good clearances
from the dangerous areas.”
The U-17 Championship was
the first representative assign-
ment for the players in Cooper’s
squad, and the coach would like
the group to stay together.
“I hope they (the TTFA) keep
them and not do as normal and
disband the team. This is a group
with lots of potential if given a
fair chance. This was the least
exposed group in terms of prepa-
ration, but was one of the best I
have seen in terms of effort and
heart. I am so proud of them for
the way they carried about them-
selves for this entire journey. The
way they represented Trinidad
and Tobago, if only they were
given a realistic chance with all
that is going on with our football
at the moment, the results would
have been much different. They
gained the respect from all the
teams that played against them.”

And more recently, the 4-3 ag-

Madrid, however, have felt
like a step too far ever since the

After all, this is a Liverpool
