<br />
<br />Please note that Recycling in Motion will be accepting plastics collected during Trinidad & Tobago's national clean up on 27 June.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Please bring all plastic to R.I.M. at 6 Maingot Road, Champs Fleurs</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Sunday 27th June from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Weekdays at regular business hours: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. </span>
<br />
<br />Kindly put plastics into clear plastic bags, available from Rotoplastics; 674-8265 or Rope Works in Arima 642-1575. If for some reason you cannot acquire clear garbage bags in time for Sunday and must use regular black garbage bags, <span style="font-weight: bold;">please ensure that they contain ONLY plastic</span> and no other waste material.
<br />
<br />Recycling in Motion accepts plastics 1 - 7 (including plastic shopping bags, styrofoam cups and plates, bottles for cleaning products, shampoo, yoghurt containers, toothpaste and cosmetic tubes, oven-ready meal trays, etc).
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recycling in Motion:</span>
<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">1. See map for directions</span>
<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Telephone: 789-7945</span>
<br />
<br />Please circulate this as widely as possible via email, Facebook and your other social media networks, so that those involved in the clean up know of this option. This way we avoid the plastics going into the landfill.
<br />
<br />Thank you.

Inherent in the logo is the power of communities coming together to ensure that our plastic waste is properly and continually disposed of for recycling purposes.<br /><br />Plastikeep will officially be launched on Thursday 13th May at the Hyatt Regency. Under the guidance of Project Manager Rosanna Farmer and her team, the project will educate and encourage residents, schools and businesses in the Diego Martin area on adequate methods of collecting their plastic waste in specially provided clear plastic bags. These bags will be deposited in strategically placed Plastikeep bins, collected twice weekly by Plastikeep trucks and transported to a plastic sorting facility to be chipped and/or crushed and exported for recycling.<br /><br />The entire collection process will be monitored so that we can be accountable for the project's outcome.Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-22989822425636329032010-04-18T06:17:00.004-04:002010-04-18T06:24:47.851-04:00Food Security in T & T - a national priority<div style="text-align: center;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VwUeLW3FVpk&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VwUeLW3FVpk&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /></div>Winner of the IICA/CARDI Excellence in Agricultural Journalism Award (2009) for TV/Video.<br />Theme: Achieving food security in Trinidad and Tobago - a national priority.<br />Video: <a href="http://nowiswowtoo.blogspot.com/">Elspeth Duncan</a><br />Featured School: The University School, St. Augustine<br /><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;">At the age of six, the students of Prep at the University School are already ensuring their food security.

I wrote to Detta Buch (Wildlife Orphanage and Rehabilitation Centre - <a href="http://worctrinidad.org/">WORC</a>) and told her about it. She is currently out of the country and sent a detailed email. Please read it (below). It is educational and easy to understand. At some point or another most of us come across baby birds that fall from their nests or are victims of attack or illness. It is very rewarding to nurse an injured animal back to health ... especially a bird, to see it fly off.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From Detta's email:</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">When you find a baby bird ( any bird) pick it up gently but securely and examine it for any wounds, broken legs, etc. Gently turning it over in the palm of your hand so that the chest is facing you (you can keep your hand in such a position that the bird is still vertical) ease out each wing at right angles to the body, checking the bones of the wing. They are in the same arrangement as your arm. From the inside view any breaks or punctures are easily visible.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In this case there may not have been anything you could have done . The pussy eyes may suggest an infection or pox contracted from pigeons. This would also have caused the swollen <a href="http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww43eiv.htm">nares</a>.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />The pigeon pox is a virus and highly contagious to doves and certain other native birds. This is the reason I don't take in pigeons unless they have a pigeon club band. I have another resource person who handles them.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />You could give simple triage easily. Keep some supplies in the house: peroxide, Q-Tips, cotton wool, iodine and children's Painol. Mix a small quantity of Peroxide and h2o (half &half) and using Q-tips or cotton wool, completely clean the wound and the surrounding area. Because birds don't have a liquid lymphatic system, and creams make a mess of feathers, I use powdered antibiotics. A good standard is Beneocin. It's a broad spectrum and well tolerated. If you know your doctor well enough and he trusts you, you could ask for a prescription, explaining why you want it.<br /><br />Pain management is an often talked about problem, I have found the simplest thing is Painol, but if you can get ARNICA in a tablet or powder it would be better as it is homeopathic. Either get it down the birds throat or mix with a little water and give it with a dropper from the side of the beak, a drop at a time. </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Just a cautionary note: When putting liquid down a bird's throat make sure you avoid the glottis. This is the opening on the back of the birds tongue. It is the airway to its lungs.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Also remember that these are very small organisms and don't have much body mass. Use only very small quantities of the drug. </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Lastly, keep it warm and secure. I have a cheap heating electric pad which I place under the cage at night. You could keep the bird in a box in a quiet and warm place in the house.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Finally: my valued resource person is quite close to you, Dr.Gabriel Brown. He is the avian specialist at the vet school, and you will find him in the small building on the south perimeter road as you pass the new Oncology unit, and the incinerator of the vet school. There is parking off the road but you have to walk round the corner to the glass door. Alternately you could drive around to the Small Animal Clinic, drive past it into the bovine area and the little building is facing you. </span> <span style="font-style: italic;">In this case it would have been useful to have taken the little body up to him for a necropsy. This way you would get some information back on what happened to it. It also provides the students with useful experience.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I have a small styrene container in which I transport little bodies. The protocol they prefer is to have the animal/bird placed in a clean zip-lock bag as soon after it expires as possible. This way they can examine the parasites it may carry and then place it in the carrier with a few zip-lock bags of ice. No freezing. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FOOTNOTE FROM DETTA:</span><br /><div>In the case of baby birds or an injury case, it is important to identify the species it order to feed it correctly. On the wrong diet, the bird will not survive.<br /><br /></div> <div>Richard ffrench's book "the Birds of Trinidad & Tobago" has excellent plates for ID and some information on their habits and food sources. Be cautious when taking information off the net. The same species may occur in the southern USA but have different diets and are adapted to those, whereas, the same species from Venezuela, the Guyanas, and the amazon may have more closely related habits.<br /><br /></div> Finally, it is extremely important, to consider that you are helping this individual to survive and return to its own environment. Only if the individual is crippled and unable to survive in the wild should it become domesticated (<span style="font-style: italic;">habituated</span>) and then a permit should be sought from the FORESTRY DIVISION, or it could be turned over to an established Rehabilitation Centre, for use.<br /><br />THANK YOU, DETTA.Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-61345578486691499912010-03-16T06:51:00.000-04:002010-03-16T06:51:24.000-04:00Greenlight gets Green Fund $upport for Plastic Recycling<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ljjbbEvpTWv6zI7TCNA9ooxDNAbXYI3vGmuxkKf-D0KFWa6ywClWXogvyZ4jqojFETAF6P102vMOpHO5un6JjqQ8ytMm3XFEmvXlXy_MBWwVyqKp4pZHeukwMvumaT1-tCeg/s1600-h/Women+and+The+Green+Fund.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ljjbbEvpTWv6zI7TCNA9ooxDNAbXYI3vGmuxkKf-D0KFWa6ywClWXogvyZ4jqojFETAF6P102vMOpHO5un6JjqQ8ytMm3XFEmvXlXy_MBWwVyqKp4pZHeukwMvumaT1-tCeg/s400/Women+and+The+Green+Fund.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449182059165359138" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Planning Housing and the Environment Minister Emily Dick-Forde, right, chats with the first recipients of grants from the Green Fund yesterday.

Planning, Housing and Development Minister Dr Emily Dick-Forde presented cheques totalling $1,914,806 and $852,281 to Fondes Amandes Community Group and Greenlight Network, respectively, for two projects. Fondes Amandes will use the money to continue its reafforestation initiative in the Fondes Amandes watershed in St Ann’s. <p>The funding is to complete the project within WASA’s lands in the watershed, upgrading infrastructure of the facilities on the site and to continue outreach/educational activities. And the Greenlight Network’s will use its funds to undertake a plastic recycling initiative. It’s the first project of the kind being undertaken in T&T. Citizens will be able to dispose of their household plastic waste in a manner that will ensure protection of the environment.</p> <p>Dick-Forde, in addressing the ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, on Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain, said legislation was expected to be amended shortly to allow a larger number of community groups to apply for grants under the Green Fund, which was established in 2004. The fund provides grants to community groups and organisations for projects such as environmental conservation, reafforestation or remediation.</p><a href="http://guardian.co.tt/news/general/2010/03/16/green-fund-2-projects-pg-9">Source of article</a><br /><br /><br /></div></div>Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-47589803516683834572009-10-21T17:35:00.000-04:002009-10-21T17:35:55.891-04:00What's new?<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KdZchP0MkU2PIBcWAPVrjztO6Xje1WyPuJiAP0N8r1U3kqtvhq27OboOJp0QOmK5Ww4WaPkoyA2U-G2_ckLYYyo-go6dwRrBaPh6tMLUefrpl_p8GKGP7tSz4V8MLBdS_y_C/s1600-h/crab.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KdZchP0MkU2PIBcWAPVrjztO6Xje1WyPuJiAP0N8r1U3kqtvhq27OboOJp0QOmK5Ww4WaPkoyA2U-G2_ckLYYyo-go6dwRrBaPh6tMLUefrpl_p8GKGP7tSz4V8MLBdS_y_C/s400/crab.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395157804608786130" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Crab in hole at Maracas Bay</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">*</span><br /></div><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;">Greetings Dear Members,</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;">Even though Greenlight Network has not been as visible as usual (like a crab in a hole) ... we have been very present.

See details at end of post. But first, read his fascinating interview.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. When and why did you first start practicing magic?</span><br />I actually started out juggling first when I was about 13 years old.<br />Magic was a natural progression from there. I still utilize both art<br />forms in any shows that I do.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Where are some of the places you have you performed?</span><br />Canada, United States, Argentina, Brazil, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_0">Burkina Faso</span>, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_1">Nigeria</span> and of<br />course <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_2">Trinidad and Tobago</span>. I would love to do shows in China, Russia,<br />India, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_3">Mexico</span>, All of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_4">Europe</span>, Iceland, Peru, Chile................ The<br />world is not that big of a place anymore. It would be a shame to miss<br />any of it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Tell us about your most memorable </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_5">magical moment</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> (a) in show (b) in</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">life.</span><br />I was in Burkina Faso in a very remote village doing a magic and<br />juggling show for the community. The show was a tremendous success!!!<br />After the show a gentleman approached me with his daughter. He asked if<br />I could heal her as she was deaf and mute. This had a tremendous impact<br />on how I used to view the world. I have been back to Africa on 2 more<br />occasions and can't bring myself to do magic again there.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. What does it take to be a magician?</span><br />Misspent youth!! Just kidding. It takes patience more than anything<br />else. Sometimes you will have to work for months on a simple move that<br />is only a small part of one trick.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. What particular </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_6">magic trick</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> do you most enjoy performing?</span><br />Anything close up. I pretty much gave up stage and adult shows about 8<br />years ago. I strictly focus on charity work now for children's causes<br />usually. This upcoming show will be my first adult stage show in several<br />years. Close up Magic does not play well on stage, so it should be<br />interesting what I can come up with for this event.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. If there was a magic trick you could do to help the environment, what</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">would that trick be?</span><br />OUCH!!! Without getting too political, I would wave my <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1222135356_7">magic wand</span> (which<br />in truth I have never used or owned one) and educate all humanity on the<br />destruction we are doing to ourselves via the use of fossil fuels, our<br />mega agricultural industries, unfair trade practices.....and the list<br />goes on. I honestly believe that if everyone was educated, the abuse to<br />ourselves and the planet would stop. Now that would be magic!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Free flow - anything else you would like to add about yourself, magic</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">and/or the environment ...?</span><br />Mostly I would like to thank T&T for being so generous and kind to me<br />and my family over the last 2 years. We will be leaving shortly with<br />only good memories and thoughts of all the people we have met and the<br />places we have been. Trinidad and Tobago like all countries has its<br />needs and worries. Do not settle for mediocrity. Hold people<br />accountable!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">GREEN CARPET</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Date: Saturday 18th October</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Time: 5 - 8 p.m.</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Venue: La Joya Auditorium, Eastern Main Road, St. Joseph</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br /><br />Tickets: $150</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Available from:</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Glenford Bhagat - 789-0786</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Shivonne DuBarry - 758-7915</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Elspeth Duncan - 786-2539</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br /></span><br /><br />50% of proceeds will go to <a href="http://worctrinidad.org/">WORC (Wildlife Orphanage and Rehabilitation Centre)</a>.<br /><br />The other 50% will go toward Greenlight Network’s environmental projects. <a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/search/label/projects">Have a look at some of our past ones</a>.<br /><br />Please forward this post to those you think will be interested in learning about our performers, attending the concert and supporting this worthy environmental cause.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Greenlight Network</span>Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-74001091995884054712008-09-18T19:08:00.001-04:002011-01-24T02:26:36.802-04:00Meet CAROLINE MAIR, Jazzing it up!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iWBCxQ42ed92Hpua3442e8RW6k5hZD7kwY2YuTU1y4xwUt4bUfRuLWU68dsMCdYJ10UVxXm6DPPJbJFPN-3_IK-LbUQO8NulsJ-lxLGScxlMrvRAbjfBOmtuy2Hqp8w97SLEdg/s1600-h/caroline2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iWBCxQ42ed92Hpua3442e8RW6k5hZD7kwY2YuTU1y4xwUt4bUfRuLWU68dsMCdYJ10UVxXm6DPPJbJFPN-3_IK-LbUQO8NulsJ-lxLGScxlMrvRAbjfBOmtuy2Hqp8w97SLEdg/s400/caroline2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247504265172329554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Caroline Mair</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /></div>We've asked none other than Caroline Mair to jazz things up the way only she can ... on Saturday 18 October 2008 at <a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/2008/09/green-carpet-greenlights-environmental.html">GREEN CARPET</a> – Greenlight Network’s 2nd annual fundraising environmental concert. Spend a few moments with us and read what this talented songstress has to say about her journey from singing in showers to the stage.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. At what age did you start singing? </span><br />Well, I’ve been <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_0">singing in the shower</span> for as long as I can remember, but I’ve been ridiculously shy until this year. I was in and out of choirs, but I hate choirs, and I would sing at university once in a while. But I went through a couple of things last year, and I guess it got me thinking about the things I really wanted out of life. So I jumped up one day and went to Satchmo’s during my lunch break, and waited there every day for three days for as long as I could so they could hear me sing. And they listened, and they liked, and I’ve grown in confidence since then.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Why do you sing?</span><br />Because I have to. I played piano for about ten years and hated it, but I loved music. I just never knew I was using the wrong instrument. There’s always <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_1">music in my head</span>. Lyrics bouncing around, melodies. I would hear a blues song, then I would deviate from the tune, think about things to add, try to funk it up in my head with a parang or tassa beat or something. Or a Spanish verse with a clave for the bridge. I’ve been doing this since I was very small, trying to switch things up.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. What songs do you sing? Originals? Covers?</span><br />I sing covers in public, but I think I would like to expand into my own compositions. I have a lot of songs tumbling around in my head, as I said. But I’ve only done one or two things in collaboration with other people. I really want to explore different genres, try to mix what I currently sing with Caribbean genres. I guess I just love fusions, so I want to try to play with that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. What styles of singing do you explore? Which is your favourite and why?</span><br />I love opera, but you have to be trained to follow that path. Otherwise, you’ll hurt your voice. So now it’s mostly jazz, neo-soul, the blues. I love the blues, harnessing all that emotion into your voice. What I sing in Satchmo’s is purely old school – lovely standard ballards. Other places I make it more contemporary, try to bring some modern neo-soul into the mix. As I said before, I really want to explore fusion, and find ways of blending more Caribbean forms with what I sing right now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Are you a trained singer?</span><br />No. I hate choirs and classes. But did do ten years of piano, so at least I know something about music. Well, I’m supposed to know! It’s somewhere filed away in my memory, I’m sure!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Do you perform regularly? </span><br />I have a regular gig at Satchmo’s, Mondays and Saturdays.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Name places (establishments or countries) where you've performed</span><br />Satchmo’s, Coco Lounge, and Central Bank in Trinidad; Groove Bar in New York; Victor’s Café (opera) and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_2">Zanzibar Blue</span> in Philadelphia.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8. What was your most memorable performance ... and why?</span><br />For my grandmother’s funeral. I hadn’t officially started to sing in public. I was still too shy. My grandmother was the only one who encouraged me to sing in public, and I never sang, not even for her really. So I decided to sing for her funeral. It was awful, really. Started to cry in the middle of the song. But I meant every word of the song.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. Who/what inspires you - in singing (specifically) and in life (generally)?</span><br />In singing, Billy Holiday has to be my favourite. The quality of her voice is magnetic. She had a very tragic life, and you could hear the pain in her voice. When I heard “Southern Trees” for the first time, I had chills. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_3">Nina Simone</span> is another one. “Don’t Explain” is a song that just stops you cold, and you’re there in the moment, in the song, pleading with her lover to “just say you’ll remain.” I like the craziness of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_4">Amy Winehouse</span> – she’s the only pop singer I like really. She re-introduces “diva” back into music. I mean, look at what happened to Britney – there’s a price to pay for those exacting standard of beauty and “femininity” that’s put upon women in any field, especially music.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10. This is an environmental concert. What personal statement would you like to share with readers re the environment/your thoughts/feelings, etc...?</span><br />As a developing country, we have a lot invested in protecting our environment. There’s a fine line to draw between development and exploitation. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221752955_5">Sustainable development</span> – that benefits us, not foreign entities and countries – is really key here. It’s an ongoing battle. How to provide for ourselves and for the future? How to ensure what we do today does not jeopardize tomorrow? We’re a small country, and our resources are limited.

But for now, let's check out this interview to learn a little more about the person behind the piano.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. When did you start playing piano?</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">When I was 3 ???? It was a 3 octave electric organ from the 1960s</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.What does music mean to you? </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">.... Life</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. What inspires you? </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">.... Emotions ... mostly the less plesant ones. When I am too happy, I can't create.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4.What are your other interests in life? </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Art ... I returned to painting after almost 30 years. Also reading .. I am a knowledge seeking infomaniac. I like to think about life .. my own philosophies. I like to read up on medicine, meteorology, all sorts of science and tehcnology. I love reading everything.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. The songs you will be playing for the concert - (without telling us what they are) - why have you selected those specific ones? </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">One is an original that I did last year. The others represent my favourite time of the day .... night time.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. This is a fundraising and awareness raising concert for the environment - what is your take on ' the environment'? </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Loving nature is part of loving yourself, </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221643708_0">loving life</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> and loving God. It cannot be distinguished. Man vs nature? What is see happening in the context of the universe as an organism, what man is doing to nature is almost equivalent to someone coming down with an </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221643708_1">autoimmune disease</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> .. i.e. when the body attacks/ destroys itself. We are destroying ourselves.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Free flow: anything else you want to say about yourself as a person, as a musician and/or about the concert and the environment?</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In life, I live by the Kahlil Gibran quote ..."Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge". My urge to create and produce is strong. I live for it. Sometimes, the realities of day to day life as it has become threatens to suppress my creativity. What I have found is that if I can take the energy that I have, and instead of fighting the chaos, embrace it ... I can find ways to be creative and productive in spite of. No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">GREEN CARPET</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Date: Saturday 18th October</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Time: 5 - 8 p.m.</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Venue: La Joya Auditorium, Eastern Main Road, St. Joseph</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br /><br />Tickets: $150</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Available from:</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Glenford Bhagat - 789-0786</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Shivonne DuBarry - 758-7915</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br />Elspeth Duncan - 786-2539</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><br /></span><br /><br />50% of proceeds will go to <a href="http://worctrinidad.org/">WORC (Wildlife Orphanage and Rehabilitation Centre)</a>.<br /><br />The other 50% will go toward Greenlight Network’s environmental projects. <a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/search/label/projects">Have a look at some of our past ones</a>.<br /><br />Please forward this post to those you think will be interested in learning about our performers, attending the concert and supporting this worthy environmental cause.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Greenlight Network</span>Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-57868240519412253492008-09-13T10:09:00.003-04:002011-01-24T02:29:57.956-04:00Meet ANTHONY ROSE of ExodusJoin us as we feature our <a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/2008/09/green-carpet-greenlights-environmental.html">GREEN CARPET</a> performers one by one ...<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrFVEiPYxdxwimjCs6DEe-1UgITuweYocClDXOeLK70nfa27sgzO8SWRVO4w8992q2rpR1bxngfruXGBqTkZ_V2xKI7MyzxnkIybrSUFPlX3p91-aNWgMEgQmMQ59HJ4EntpL/s1600-h/greencarpexodus2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrFVEiPYxdxwimjCs6DEe-1UgITuweYocClDXOeLK70nfa27sgzO8SWRVO4w8992q2rpR1bxngfruXGBqTkZ_V2xKI7MyzxnkIybrSUFPlX3p91-aNWgMEgQmMQ59HJ4EntpL/s400/greencarpexodus2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245498992985089314" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"> X is for Exodus</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Location: Exodus Panyard, Eastern Main Road, St. Augustine/Tunapuna<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo: Elspeth Duncan</span><br /></span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /></div>X marks the spot on the stage where <a href="http://www.trinbagopan.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=6532">Anthony Rose</a> (Exodus pan player/musical director/former band captain) will be standing when he performs classical pan on Saturday 18th October 2008 at <a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/2008/09/green-carpet-greenlights-environmental.html">GREEN CARPET</a> – Greenlight Network’s 2nd annual fundraising environmental concert.<br /><br />Anthony’s journey into the world of pan began at the age of 6, as a member of Flamingo Steel Orchestra on St. John Road, the place where he was born and bred.<br /><br />“Flamingoes and Exodus is like family,” he says. “After the Carnival season of 1981, some past members of Flamingoes decided they wanted to form a steelband. That’s how Exodus started. Exodus … the movement … from one band to another … and of course the scriptural meaning too.”<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvbLB15IWr-lS99b9lOs7YeTn3bLPK2g1veJyVe10piEsfOPAEXkf4SN-XhA-H2MwVGQ4yGzVFaNL_vX1-izCvGK8Rd0Cn0xYVUB67Zva5jnJyioGOuGPlrSTv1droSxuYrIO/s1600-h/greencarpexodus.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvbLB15IWr-lS99b9lOs7YeTn3bLPK2g1veJyVe10piEsfOPAEXkf4SN-XhA-H2MwVGQ4yGzVFaNL_vX1-izCvGK8Rd0Cn0xYVUB67Zva5jnJyioGOuGPlrSTv1droSxuYrIO/s400/greencarpexodus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245499981151272402" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo: Elspeth Duncan</span></span></span><br /></div><br />Exodus played their first panorama in 1982 (placing 4th). In 1983, Anthony made his own Exodus, moving over to the band where he was christened as their first captain. He held this position until 1990, when he started to travel with music.<br /><br />Pan has taken him far and wide:<br />- studying music education at Akron University, Ohio<br />- one year in Tokyo, Japan<br />- musical engagements in USA, Canada, Europe, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Paris, London, Singapore<br /><br />Looking back to his earlier years, Anthony recalls his days after leaving high school. “I stayed home and played pan every day from 7:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night for four years. It was personal practice and development. I would get the audio and printed music and follow it on my own, teaching myself. My parents said ‘Boy, you’re getting older. Time for you to get a job!’”<br /><br />So, in 1982, he started working with the Ministry of Works as an accounts clerk. By 1985, realising that we ‘wasn’t getting time’ with his music, he decided it was time to leave. “In June 1985, I woke up and told my mother I’m not going back to the job and that was it. I never looked back. From then I went into music full time.”<br /><br />Following his heart with dedication and passion has led Anthony down a fulfilling road. Today he teaches music “to anybody who wants to learn.” Interested in piano, drums, singing, jazz theory, arranging? He can give you a good foundation through Steeldrum Excel, his music school.<br /><br />“Music is what I do, it’s what I have, it’s my life. Everything I have comes from playing pan, It’s how I live, it’s a hobby, it’s professional, it’s fun, it’s business.”<br /><br />And what does this man with the passion for pan have to say about the environment?<br /><br />“My whole thing is scriptural because of creation, earth … the environment isn’t supposed to be as it is now because everything was made perfect. It’s because of disobedience that we are where we are today. I think to get back to that state, we human beings have to undergo renewal of thinking and appreciation. Look outside and see how it is now and how it is supposed to be. Look at the flooding. When you see the amount of water and the amount of tins and plastic and old fridges and stoves … It’s a whole breakdown in discipline. No one appreciates anything or anyone anymore. We are brainwashed, but we have to do another brainwash in a positive way.”<br /><br />During Anthony’s year-long stay in Japan, he was struck by the positive way in which the Japanese people related to their environment.<br /><br />“In Japan they call seeing about the environment ‘public art’ … instead of ‘landscaping’. When you want to study landscaping, you go to the School of Public Art. Everything is art to them. If you see how these people take care of the land, the animals, plants, human beings. It’s love. They have an old age problem too, since they are among the people who live the longest. You see the elders in different groups on a morning transplanting trees. Imagine I was talking to a woman age 75 one morning and she’s down in a hole removing a tree. They understand and appreciate the environment. Everything is a contributing factor to each other. We need the trees, we need the oxygen. When you have no greenery, then what? Human life will be at stake. Anyone working on the environment and trying to help is doing a good thing.<br /><br />Man was given a garden and he was given a job to take care of it.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.trinbagopan.com/Pan_in_the_21st_Century/2006/Exodus.html">See more of Anthony online here</a> ... and stay tuned!

A great way to raise money for the animals.</span><br /><br />The Animal Welfare Network are having a "Car Boot Sale" at the International School <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1210171070_0">on Saturday 24 May</span>, starting at <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1210171070_1">8 a.m</span>.<br /><br />You bring your "stuff" that you no longer love or want and sell it at the Car Boot Sale. You can then either keep all the profits after paying your $200 Vendor fee or donate some of the profits to the charity.<br /><br />Alternatively, come in for free and see what people have for sale. I know that there are going to be books, plants, clothes, "stuff" for sure.<br /><br />It is generally quite fun. If you plan to sell, like a garage sale, it is easier to have your items priced before you get there, walk with some change, and some old shopping bags so people can take away the stuff they bought from you. Letting people bargain is half the fun.<br /><br />Give me a call if you want any more details and feel free to forward this on to anyone you think may be interested.<br /><br />Susan<br />788 7021Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-35515425818355655932008-02-20T18:07:00.000-04:002008-02-20T14:10:53.447-04:00Thank You for coming to Love is Green<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLDNb3Z2tOgM1-igaRbrzt_Fxj24MbEQZQ2BNM13F3kUz4Ae9Nm17R5hXOBeGMC7ScLQ8fIUai415HBMaD90FT9TLT4uZcg0MoEPkkhtWypGuENpH7PWjuUqW5IAfv59OCkrW/s1600-h/LIG2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdLDNb3Z2tOgM1-igaRbrzt_Fxj24MbEQZQ2BNM13F3kUz4Ae9Nm17R5hXOBeGMC7ScLQ8fIUai415HBMaD90FT9TLT4uZcg0MoEPkkhtWypGuENpH7PWjuUqW5IAfv59OCkrW/s400/LIG2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169119525296898130" border="0" /></a>Many thanks to everyone who attended Greenlight Network's event "<a href="http://greenlightnetwork.blogspot.com/2008/02/love-is-green-at-alice-yard.html">Love is Green</a>" at Alice Yard on Friday 15th February, 2008.

May the coming months bring you all love, guidance, peace of mind and success in every venture.<br /><br />You may have noted that you haven't been hearing from Greenlight Network as regularly. We can equate this apparent absence to a seed, placed in the earth. We do not see what happens as the seed germinates. Then suddenly, one day, we notice that first green bit curling out of the soil ... and the journey begins. With the right care and nutrients and time, that little seed becomes a massive tree.<br /><br />In the turn of the year from 2007 to 2008, Greenlight has been quietly 'germinating' at our headquarters. In February we will be celebrating our birthday and moving into our third year existence. In light of this, we will be hosting a special celebration on Friday 15th February, from 8:00 - 11:00 p.m. at Alice Yard in Woodbrook ... to give thanks for all that we have achieved and project positive vibes onto all that is to come. This free multimedia event (packed with all kinds of interesting elements), entitled "Love is Green" is open to all of you. So keep that date open. Write it into your diaries/calendars that you have a big date the day after Valentine's Day.<br /><br />LOVE IS GREEN will launch Greenlight's theme for 2008: <b>LOVE</b>. What better energy to have as the motivating factor in all that we do?<br /><br />Our mailing list currently stands at 125 members (those with internet access). But there are more. After all, we are a network of like minds and kindred spirits. Some of you have been involved directly in our projects, some of you have supported silently in the background and some of you would like to be more involved but just can't find the time. We take this opportunity to specially thank each one of you for whatever you have given to this organisation thus far. We look forward to hearing more of your ideas, enjoying more of your company and meeting up with you for a great experience on 15th February 2008.<br /><br />Stay tuned. Further details on LOVE IS GREEN will be made available after Carnival.<br /><br />Enjoy, keep safe and be well.Greenlight Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635103830366255804noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25662093.post-4432680204916533182007-10-01T10:23:00.000-04:002008-09-12T20:43:17.717-04:00Thank You: We Lived the Pledge<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGYx0cskU-XbmEv9FhecDWL3D432ImDCEt1WqOglRRuy1uaDgy1NCHJe3GFNtluwFAZIPqAcrbgn_6sn9c-o0SXJP-b1nvabZIChaFJkP8pHOZUtFwvtyJ4EP98hWb-6OKZmM/s1600-h/gln1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGYx0cskU-XbmEv9FhecDWL3D432ImDCEt1WqOglRRuy1uaDgy1NCHJe3GFNtluwFAZIPqAcrbgn_6sn9c-o0SXJP-b1nvabZIChaFJkP8pHOZUtFwvtyJ4EP98hWb-6OKZmM/s400/gln1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116320383793174082" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">The Greenlight Network banner, advertises the LIVE THE PLEDGE concert at the south gate of the University of the West Indies.
