Did You Know - The POS Lighthouse

"The lighthouse on Wrightson Road, Port of Spain, is one of Trinidad’s most obvious landmarks identifying the entrance to “downtown” Port of Spain.

The lighthouse was built in 1842 by the governor Colonel Sir Henry Mcleod to assist sea traffic for ships entering and leaving Port of Spain’s harbour. It was initially situated at the end of a 120’0” long jetty leading from the seafront, approximately where the south side of Independence Square is now.

This was prior to the second and third phases of the reclamation of Port of Spain’s waterfront in 1845 and at the end of the nineteenth century. Fort San Andres was connected to the jetty by a wooden bridge.

From time to time the lighthouse was upgraded, but the structure remained the same. The structure leans slightly toward the west, but this has not interfered with its function or stability.

The friendly rivalry between those from Port of Spain and those from south and east Trinidad is symbolized by those from Port of Spain being ignorant of “anything and anywhere east of the lighthouse”."

TRINI SPOTTING - by Alloy - copyright 1999
(long read, but interesting and funny)

Trinis are a unique lot of people who can be spotted "a mile off". They can be identified by their body language, speech, decorum, taste and even their judgement of time and space.

They are very defensive of their peculiarities and feel offended when mistaken for any islander, other than a Trini.
"That's a Trini!" - These are the familiar words uttered when one hears 'Trini Speech'. Trinis speak with a three dimensional, stereo effect, set to the rhythm of song.

For clarity, their speech is punctuated with sounds, eye, hand and body movements which together serve to remove any miscomprehension of space, size, density, colour, texture and intensity from their communication.

A Trini's choice of words to describe a breadfruit falling from a tree will fully describe the state of ripeness of the fruit, and where it fell.

A ripe fruit falling to the ground will fall "BLAF!" whereas a ripe fruit falling on a galvanized roof will fall "BLANG!" A green fruit, on the other hand, will fall to the ground "BUDUFF!" and that same fruit, falling on the same roof, will fall "BLAGADANG!"

A door will open "Kreekes" and will close "Badam! or "Clit-ticks!" depending on the force used to close it.

A dripping water tap will drip "plunks, plunks!" but when WASA reduces the water pressure, the water will drip "chirrip, chirrip!"
A gunshot will sound, "Potow!" but if the bullet ricochets, the sound changes to "Peeoweeeee!" Horses gallop, "Broogoodook! Broogoodook!"

Depending on its size and the depth of water, a stone could fall "Plunk!" or "Ploonks!" or "Ploochunk!" or "Splashaw!"

A Trini's cry in pain will denote the acuteness and intensity of the pain he or she is undergoing and can vary from " WooY!", "OOOOOOHH!", "Ohyoyoy!", "SSSSSSSSSSS" and "AHYAYAYE!"

His expression of surprise: "Aha!"; "O Gawd!"; "Bon Jay!"; Oui Foute!

His expression of disgust: "Ah Chut!" (usually accompanied with a STEUPS or stamping of the feet)

His expression of Joy: "Geez an ages!"

His salutations: "Woy!"; "Hey Man!"; "Chile!"; "All YUH";

"Breds" and even, "Stranger!"

How does a Trini swallow a drink: "Gloodocks!"

A sudden shower of rain falls: "chwa!"

Trini women call each other "chile"; the men call each other "boy" and the boys call each other "man". If you think that confusing, they refer to any older person of the male sex as "uncle" and of the female sex, as "tantie." Individuals of two generations and older are called "Granny","Ma" or "Pa" depending on their sex.

Trini words come from all languages. Example, from the French: oui, laingniappe, la diablesse, petit pot chambre, toute bagaille, mouche coocoon, fete, farine, flambeau, camboulay, drievay, etc. From Hindi: dhal, bhagee, channa, juta, bowgee, daroo, gobar, barra, chunkay, kari, paisa, etc. Similarly, words are used from Spanish and other ethnic languages in everyday speech.

There are words that only Trinis use and understand, for example: birds "ramajay"; people "dingolay"; crabs "caray"; rude people "steupse"; careless people perform "vie-ki-vie". Only Trini's know "Nancy Stories". Your sweetheart is your "doo-doo"; a Venezuelan is a "Pyol"; a bull's sex organ is a "bull pissel".

When Trinis hang out, they "liming" and only in Trinidad can you find a "douglah" who is a "shugs"; or eat "farine and zaboca."

A physically challenged person is a "brokofoot"; a fat woman is a "boobooloops"; a giddy head is called "bazodee" and if you should fall into a fit of convulsions, you are considered to have "caught Malkadee".

Nicknames are commonly used amongst family, friends and neighbours and usually originate from a trait, habit or preference of the individual. Some examples are: Rathead, Dr. Rat, Broko, Cheesey, Dazzler, Stinkin' toe, B-Flat, Finny hand, Yampee, Slim, Stinky, Walking Dead, etc.

For a Trini, every situation or thing has a comparison to be drawn on from his surroundings. Here's how he describes the following:

- The blind: "Blind like a bat".
- Illogical Behavior: "Mad like Mahal".
- A cheapskate: "So cheap, he won't buy a glass of water for free".
- Lowly Behavior: "So low, he could pass under a razor blade".
- Ugliness: "Ugly like sin" or "So ugly de mirror will break."
- Shamelessness: "When God was sharing shame, she went to de toilet".
- Stupidity: "He went to school in August".
- Trust in God: "God doh sleep".
- Karma: "Monkey say, 'cool breeze'".
- A non-happening: "Wen cock get teeth".

A Trini's punctuality is atrocious and is recognized world-wide. His judgement of time and space is phenomenal - i.e. phenomenally off. Tell him to arrive at eight and for sure he will be there for half past late!

His idea of NOW is 'Here'; LATER is "Tomorrow sometime" and YESTERDAY propels an attack of amnesia. Ask a Trini when he would likely finish a project and he will surely reply "just now" or "later". That could mean in a few minutes or years hence.

Likewise, he lacks a sense of dimension in terms of linear measurement.

A tall, overweight person will be described as "tall as a lamp post and wide like a bus". Distance is another confusing proposition and again linear measurements do not apply. Somewhere can be reached either by foot or by some means of transport, other than one's own volition.

Any place that can be reached by foot is "just dey", "not too far" or "just round de corner". Street names are hardly committed to memory so there is a tendency to use landmarks as reference points when giving directions.

A typical example of directions given to find Mahase's house in an unfamiliar area will be like this: "Yuh follow dis road 'til yuh reach a standpipe on de right ... Right after de standpipe, yuh go come to ah small dirt road on de right ... yuh pass it and continue straight until yuh get to a next one ... opposite to dat road, yuh will see a big, mako Mango Rose tree ... next to it, is ah nodder trace ... take dat trace and yuh could arkse anybody yuh meet where Mahase living... real easy to find man!"

Another thing about Trinis is that when they talk, they must articulate with their hands and body. Observe two Trinis carrying on a heated discussion and you will understand where the Japanese got their Karate moves. They stab the air with their hands, sometimes pointing up, down, sideways, make circular motions, touch, push, and shake the other party. It is like watching a silent movie with sound.

Trinis have a special gait when walking that have special names too ..like, "bump", "bump and grind", "drag slipper", and "jock waist". Trini women walk with a unique sway of the hips. However, put her in the spotlight in a sexy new outfit and that sway becomes a "jock waist" ... enough to eroticize any male.

It is said that Trinis love all the "F's"; i.e. Food, Fun, Fete and Fashion. Their food must be spicy and varied. Fete must be "long and hard", "'til yuh drop". Fun, they must have, at work or play. Fashion must be the latest, sexiest and most colorful.

A Trini in love is at his best. Courting is redefined to an art form and is, literally, a labour of love. More often than not, the woman will draw the man's attention by "sagashiating" her body. When she gets his attention, she starts to play "hard to get."

How does the Trini man react? If he's interested, he starts to "play dead to ketch corbeau alive" all the while checking her out so as not to "buy cat in bag." The courtship ritual could vary and may start by "giving sweeteye", touching, pinching or even throwing pebbles at each other.

The latter is called "Tobago Love". During courtship, several names of endearment are used, for example: "Doods", "Doo-Doo", "Dahlin", "Pumkin", "Sugar", "Shugs", "Sugar-plum", "Sweetie" and even "Toolum". Oftimes, the love turns sour and so do the names. She becomes a "jagabat" or a "yardfowl" and he a "peong" or a "hornerman".

A jilted lover who has not got over the relationship is considered to be in a state of "tabanca", which has worsening stages. Ordinary "tabanca" is bad enough but "tabanca tajari" is worse and "tabanca najar" is the very worst. At this last stage the afflicted could end up in "St.Anns". Some people retaliate to being jilted by resorting to "obeah" to "put a lite" on the ex-lover.

Get a Trini vex. Well, you better had hide! In spite of his good naturedness, he can get "bad like a crab' and behave like a real "canal conch".

The very worse thing you can tell a Trini is something about his natural mother. Worst of all, if one refers to her sexual organ you in plenty trouble. That place is his Holy of all Holies, his Mecca, his place of Sanctity. Many acts of violence have resulted in defense of its desecration. Just the phrase "Yuh Mutha!" could lead to serious blows.

Trinis embrace life with the Spirit of Nature and in this way acknowledge their reverence of God and their fellowman. If he takes a liking to you, you are sure to know, for it will be reflected in his word and deed. However, if he chooses to ignore you, well ... "Crapaud smoke yuh pipe!"

Want to visit a Caribbean Island but don't feel like rubbing shoulders with hundreds of sunburned American tourists? Go to Tobago.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Caribbean, the beach-filled, sunny, and resort-laden destination for cruise ships and tan-seeking vacationers? Maybe you’ve considered being one of those vacationers?

Here’s the upside: It’s easy and affordable to get there. And then the problem: Most popular spots within the Caribbean—like Turks and Caicos and Saint Thomas—are perpetually overrun by tourists (like you).

There is, luckily, an alternative to packing yourself into a Caribbean beach filled with hundreds of other sunscreen-soaked Americans. Let me introduce you to Tobago, the lesser-known sibling island to Trinidad. It’s the place you go when you want to sit on a quiet beach in the Caribbean and not be surrounded by yachts or spring breakers. From a lot of major cities, there’s a direct flight to Trinidad; from there, just hop on a quick 15-minute flight (very cheap and leaves every 30 minutes), and you’re in Tobago.

The island is intimate, the culture is chill, the locals are friendly, and it’s very easy to get around. Super developed, Tobago is not. Compared with its Caribbean cousins, the place is bare of malls and brand-name hotels. You’re coming to Tobago, instead, because you’re looking for unadulterated nature and a slow-going place to laze on the beach with friends.

And because it’s not yet a tourist town, the food caters to the locals—meaning you’re not getting watered-down resort fare. You’ll find spicey and chile-laden goat curry spots, as well as Italian food in tree houses, excellent takeout kebab, and freshly grilled seafood served beachside.

Tobago is so low-key that there are essentially no travel books available on the country. So here’s your beginner’s guide to the Caribbean gem.

Where to Stay
There are some hotels and resorts on the island, but most are still pretty rudimentary. Your best bet for comfy digs is to rent a condo or a house on HomeAway or VRBO, which will likely be both less expensive and more comfortable than the area hotels. Go for the properties right on the beach.

When to Go
Like most beach vacations, Tobago is best experienced in five days to a week. Lucky for those who have to endure chilly winters, the best time to visit is between January and March, when the weather there is temperate and not too humid.

What to Do
Spend a chill day at the beach
The beaches in Tobago are pristine—you can’t go wrong making a pit stop at whatever beaches you spot in your area. The most popular is Mount Irvine Beach, adjacent to a golf course and known for its excellent surfing. Englishman’s Bay is another good option, a crescent-shaped beach where you can spot leatherback turtles chilling on the sands. If you’re looking for hidden treasure, drive 45 minutes up to Castara, a tiny but stunning spot with gorgeous views of the forests below.

Visit Pigeon Point Heritage Park
This family-friendly enclave offers multiple activities in one spot—there are cute little shops, lots of great cafes for snacking, and a lifeguard-tended beach area, complete with a highly Instagrammable thatched-roof jetty.

Go around Buccoo Reef
Book a glass-bottom boat from Pigeon Point Heritage Park, and you can spend a day going around Buccoo Reef, a designated marine park containing hundreds of colorful species of fish and coral (Jacques Cousteau named it the third most spectacular reef in the world). There’s loads to see, so it’s the ideal spot to go snorkeling. Make sure your boat makes a stop at the surreal Nylon Pool, a one-meter deep enclave in the middle of the reef whose sheer waters and white sand prompted Britain’s Princess Margaret to name the pool after her nylon stockings.

Hike through the Tobago Forest Reserve
As the oldest protected forest reserve in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is the spot to go on a hike in Tobago. The main trek is short and accessible, weaving through a few miles of untouched forest. It’s worth hiring a trained guide who can point out the various herbs, spices, and native fruit trees that are abundant throughout the trail. The hike ends at Argyle Falls, where you can lounge in natural rock tubs surrounded by idyllically green trees.

Where to Eat
Doubles Truck
“Doubles Truck” is what I am calling the unmarked white van that parks outside a clothing shop called Chadija’s around lunchtime, serving up one of the signature dishes of the island: doubles. It’s a messy dish of two interlocking pieces of fried dough filled with mildly sweet stewed chickpeas and a generous dousing of green chile sauce. They’re wrapped in white paper and cost about 20 cents a pop. Wash yours down with fresh coconut water from the fruit stand a few feet away.

Kariwak Village
A very vibe-y open-air restaurant with a thatched roof serving Caribbean food that’s all made from the on-site garden. Get the spicy crab stew and be prepared to go home very satisfied, but with chile and turmeric stains all over your shirt.

Jemma's Seaview Kitchen Treehouse
Located right on the beach, this picturesque spot specializes in seafood prepared Caribbean style: fish that’s been breaded, fried, and dressed in a tangy sweet-and-sour sauce; curried goat; and shrimp drenched in herbs and garlic then grilled over an open fire.

La Tartaruga
An Italian restaurant situated in a tall treehouse, La Tartaruga will easily be one of the most joyful dining experiences you have in Tobago. This is thanks, in large part, to the exceedingly friendly and enthusiastic chef/owner Gabriele, who treats every guest like a long-lost sibling. The restaurant serves excellent Italian wines and specialties like freshly made tagliatelle dressed in pesto and potatoes, and meatballs stuffed with polenta, mozzarella, and spicy tomato sauce. It is the perfect marriage of Italian food and the breezy culture of Tobago.

Skewers
This is a local haunt for kebabs (the best are the lamb and the chicken), which are ideal for lunch and dinner to go—or a late-night snack. The meats are grilled ’til exceedingly juicy, the herby salads are fresh and fragrant, and though the food is decidedly Middle Eastern, it has pleasant local touches—like the various handcrafted hot sauces made with the fruity peppers of the region.

WHO IS ASA WRIGHT? Together with her husband Newcome Wright, Asa came to Trinidad to settle at Springhill in 1946. Born in Iceland in 1892, Asa was left to carry on the estate when Newcome died in 1955. Friends who enjoyed the flora and fauna of the Arima valley would spend time at Asa's home, hanging out on the large verandah. With the encouragement of her friends, Don and Ginny Eckelberry and Jonnie Fisk, Asa agreed to deed the Springhill estate as a nature centre. Her neighbour in Verdant Vale was William Beebe; his tropical research station at Simla was later added to the lands of the nature centre. The Asa Wright Nature Centre was established in 1967. Asa died in 1971 and is buried in Lapeyrouse Cemetery.

 Ummm, the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, one celled organisms appeared soon after soooo... 😏
 13.8 million years is more than life of planet earth? It may be a biblical whim which does not stand any scientific scrutiny ! Earth is nearly 4.5 billion years ! Life on earth is eastimated to be about 500 million years for the fossil record , possibly 4 billion years , just after the planet cooled and formed a crust and started to have some water on microscopuc level which left no fossils !

Did You Know: History of Tunapuna

Tunapuna, one of the oldest known settlements in inland Trinidad, was settled, or re-settled, shortly after the Cedula of 1783, which brought French planters and their slaves into the region. Although a British survey map made just after the conquest of 1797 fails to show the name Tunapuna, it did exist, and it was the name the Amerindians of the region gave to their little village on the banks of a rivulet running between the St Joseph and Tacarigua rivers.

According to the survey referred to, Tunapuna was in the Spanish Partida or Quarter, of San Jose at that time, 1797, the area was occupied by just 5 settlers – Gaspar, Lynch, Le Gendre, Deep and Creny.

These settlers benefited under the Cedula with grants of land, but who did not benefit were the native peoples themselves, for far from being granted land, they had what was ancestrally theirs, taken away from them. For just a few years before this, they were removed to the newly-established mission of Arima.

The establishment of that mission by Governor Jose Maria Chacon in 1785, led to further contacts with Amerindian settlements in the region, for the royal road that led from Puerto Espana to San Jose was now extended to Arima, following an Amerindian footpath that was passing through Tunapuna.

There was another Amerindian footpath leading from a point in this district called Tunapuna to places in the south where the Spaniards had also established missions. Two of the missions established were the Mission of Savana Grande and the Mission of Siparia. The footpath proved useful to the Spaniards who turned it into a clear-cut track, which was described as a “royal road”.

Tunapuna took on a special importance because of this royal road for now the settlement was a hub both for those going east and for those going south. The five settlers had covered the district with plantations of sugar, cotton, and coffee and all these were noted during the British survey of 1797.

It seems that it was on the grant of Creny that the Tunapuna we know today was formed, for Creny had cut a trace from the royal road to meet the Tunapuna River. Creny called this trace “Tunapuna Road”.

The so-called “Emancipation” of the slaves in 1834 brought this settlement to notice, and most of the people in the area seem to have been drawn from the long established sugar estates which bordered the central village – estates like Santa Rita to the west, Sainte Rose to the north, Streatham Lodge to the south and on the east, El dorado and Orange Grove.

Streatham Lodge was owned by the Paseas, who are now remembered by “Pasea Road”. The celebrated El Dorado Estate was owned by the little known John Parsons, and its even more celebrated neighbor, Orange Valley Estate (later called Orange Grove) was owned by one of the most influential men in Trinidad of that time, William Burnley.

Emancipation, which brought its labour problems, saw many estates change hands, including El Dorado, which was apparently bought out by Burnley at that point. But the tough question of labour worried Burnley too, and in fact, influential as he was, being a big time member of the Council of Government, he played a big part in getting indentured East Indians to come here to work.

When the first batch of these workers arrived here on May 30, 1845, Burnley was at the waterfront with carts and carriages, eager to collect his quota.
The Spanish parida of San Jose having been long abolished, Tunapuna had thereafter been considered in the district of Tacarigua. But it was only in 1849 that it became officially so, when Lord Harris enclosed it in the Ward of Tacarigua.

The failure to pay ward rates under Harris’ Ordinance establishing counties and wards, led to the government selling the land of the defaulters, and the advertised list of defaulters revealed that a great number of ex-slaves had owned land in Tunapuna. This was an unusual feature compared to what had happened in other areas.

The indentured East Indian workers who had began arriving in Trinidad in 1845 certainly revived the estates and by the 1860s the estates around Tunapuna were flourishing. Yet these workers were mainly illiterate, and their children unschooled, and it was this situation here, and to a greater extent, in the Naparimas, that brought the Canadian Missionaries to Trinidad in 1868.

The year 1876 brought prestige and bustling activity to Tunapuna for this was the year that saw its railway trains. The village was still largely on the northern side of the road, and the railway authorities constructed their lines on the southern side of the road, on the Pasea’s Streatham Lodge estate.

The day of the inauguration of the railway, August 31, 1876, was the beginning of a hectic era of development for Tunapuna. Just 25 years earlier, in 1851, it had been a quiet village of a few hundred people, with a single police constable – Constable J.S. Whitley – attached to the ward. Now, five years after the trains it had grown into a busy centre. At this juncture, 1881, Tunapuna had a population of 3,948. There were 471 houses in the district, and among the population could be found 1,648 agricultural workers, and there were 3 policemen, 2 priests and as many as 7 teachers.

Surprisingly, it had got its first school only 2 years before. This school, in 1881, had 126 children on roll, and its schoolmaster, J. Waddell, must have been proud to know that this figure was one of the highest for a village school in those days.

The year 1881 also saw the head Canadian Missionary to Indians, John Morton, move to Tunapuna, making it his northern headquarters, and he straight-away established the Tunapuna Presbyterian School. So Tunapuna now had two schools, Tunapuna Government, and the Presbyterian school.
The area where Morton established his school is marked by Morton Street and interestingly enough, nearby can be found the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd, built in 1886.

Again not too far from this, on the Eastern Main Road, one would have seen the attractive wooden Catholic church dedicated to St. Charles. This was built in 1890 and in 1891, the Roman Catholic authorities recognized it by creating the Parish of Tunapuna.

But it was in 1898 that could be called the great year for this village – or perhaps one should say, for this town – for in 1898 the government declared Tunapuna a town, by proclamation. It was by then the largest center of population on the strip of road between St Joseph and Arima, and although the proclamation had no municipal significance, that is to say that there was no charter involved, with special rights, Tunapuna was large enough to demand special attention.

It had also become a center for the surrounding areas, and the chief point of service for Tacarigua Ward. For instance, its Warden’s Office was responsible for villages like Maracas, Caura and even Arouca and Tacarigua. Also, its old police station was built in that year, 1898, as was its Cout House, and a new government school. In 1898, too, the authorities constructed the Tunapuna water-works, in order to introduce pipe-borne water into the ward. The district had become so important, in fact, that in 1903 the name “Tumpuna” was officially changed to San Rafael to avoid confusion with the name Tunapuna.

Oddly enough, between 1900 and 1930, Tunapuna remained almost static. This was possibly because of a slump in sugar, and the slow disintegration of its estates. Population figures can easily show this trend. Whereas in 1901 Tunapuna had a population of 5,543, ten years later, this population had increased by just 100, and 20 years after this, in the census year of 1931, the population was 6,386 – overall an increase of less than 1,000 over 30 years.

Tunapuna took a new lease of live in the 1940s with the arrival of the American soldiers in 1941, and in the giddy war-time years that followed, scores of workers set up house in the area to be near to the American airbase at Fort Read, Comuto.

The town itself was always congested with American army vehicles, and it remained so until 1943 when the American soldiers built the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway. By the end of the war, Tunapuna’s population had jumped to 7,328.

The 1950s saw steady decline in agriculture mainly due to the “sweet years” of the American presence. People who earned a great deal of American money for doing things as “driving Poniac” (Pontiac being a make of shovel) could not have been content to go back to the canefields and earn a few dollars a day. As a result of this decline, a great deal changed. Then, too, old estates like Laurel Hill, Santa Rita, and Sainte Rose, all seemed to have disappeared, and even the old Pasea Estate of Streatham Lodge, as well as the celebrated Burnley estate of El Dorado, seemed to remain only cherished names.

The railway, which had spurred on the progress of Tunapuna from the time the trains had appeared in 1976, was shortly to come to a halt. The railway line from Tunapuna to Arima was closed on February 18, 1967, and the section from St. Joseph to Tunapuna was closed on December 7, 1968. The trains had met Tunapuna a village of no more than 2,000 people and had left it with a population of 11,984.

"If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction."

We are not happy being ruled by criminals and having to work multiple jobs just to survive. 
They know we will except it.
So they use the control of the media to sit black against white, we went against men, yoga gets old, muslim against Christian.
They convinced us we are the problem so we will fight and destroy ourselves.
