Speech: NAAA 2018 Awards | January 2019
It’s not where you start; it’s where you are going! Good is the enemy of great! Some key words which resonated in your theme – our route is excellence; destination is success! 2018 is now behind us! It was a building block year with the Commonwealth Games, the Youth Olympic Games and the Central American Games. Michelle Lee Ahye distinguished herself and was our 2018 Sportswoman of the Year. Jereem Richards, with courage and flair, captured the Sportsman of the Year award. Other athletes distinguished themselves this evening. Let’s recog- nise their achievements in 2018. But colleagues 2018 is over! This is 2019 – the beginning of a new year. We are 360 days away from a new decade - the 2020s. This must be our decade! It is time to reset! Reset dreams! Reset strategy! Recalibrate approaches for athletes for whom 2018 was unsatisfactory or merely average. Reset for coaches whose charges did not achieve their aspirations! Merely repeating the same training, nutritional habits and strategy will not yield improvement. Let 2019 be a time for vision and action! Vision without action is day dreaming. Action without vision is passing time. As Nelson Mandela said: “Vision with action is the foun- dation for greatness.” This evening, NGC stands here as a socially responsible corporate sponsor, partner and cham- pion of Trinidad and Tobago’s quest for track and field excellence. Allow me to thank the NAAA, and your President Mr. Ephraim Serrette, for the privilege and honour of addressing you this evening. President Serette, Dr. Iva Gloudon, Ganness Persad, Hasely Crawford TC, George Commissiong, Dr. -

Ethnicity and Elections in the Caribbean: a Radical Realignment of Power in Trinidad and the Threat of Communal Strife
ETHNICITY AND ELECTIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN: A RADICAL REALIGNMENT OF POWER IN TRINIDAD AND THE THREAT OF COMMUNAL STRIFE Ralph R. Premdas Working Paper #224 - April 1996 Ralph R. Premdas, a Visiting Scholar at the Kellogg Institute (spring 1996), teaches regularly at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean. Over the past two decades Professor Premdas has conducted extensive field work in Guyana and Fiji. Among his published works are Guyana: Ethnic Conflict and Development and Fiji: Ethnicity and Development, both published by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development and by the University of Warwick’s Research Series on Ethnic Relations. Other recent works by the author include Secessionist Movements in Comparative Perspective (Pinter, 1991), The Enigma of Ethnicity: Ethnic and Racial Relations in the Caribbean and the World (University of the West Indies, 1992), and Ethnic Identity in the Caribbean: Decentering a Myth (University of Toronto, 1995). The author is grateful to all the friends and colleagues who generously contributed their assistance in putting this paper together, and he would like, in particular, to thank Mr. Henry Ramjass for his help. ABSTRACT The 1995 elections in the multiethnic Caribbean state, Trinidad and Tobago, were not an ordinary affair. They not only saw a change of regime but with it a change in the ethnic identity of the new political rulers. Control of the government by one ethnic party or the other poses a threat to the welfare of excluded and defeated parties. For many years one ethnic community controlled the government and entrenched its supporters at all levels of government as well as allocating most resources for the benefit of its own community. -

“ABOVE and BEYOND” NGC's National Heroes Project Hasely Crawford's Achievement Wendell Mottley July 21, 2017 Good Evenin
“ABOVE AND BEYOND” NGC’S National Heroes Project Hasely Crawford’s Achievement Wendell Mottley July 21, 2017 Good Evening – Let me acknowledge all Government Ministers and other esteemed guests but especially let me acknowledge the young people who are here. My remarks are particularly addressed to them. I was very pleased when Mark Loquan, President of NGC, invited me to speak at this inaugural launch of “Above and Beyond”, a project to celebrate national achievers. I was even more delighted that sport was selected as the first arena to highlight national achievement. And, I can think of no finer example of the contribution that sporting achievement makes to our nation, than my friend Hasely Crawford – our first Olympic gold medalist. Let me take you back 40 years, to the Montreal stadium, when Hasely was preparing for, and running in the 1976 Olympics. It was July 24th. Hasely, number 846, in his red white and black was in lane one. He’d had the best time in the semi-finals so Harvey Glance, the American and Don Quarry, the Jamaican were giving our man the cut eye, proof of their nervousness. Valery Borzov, the Russian who won gold at the previous Olympics and the great white hope kept to himself. Monsieur Drapeau, the Mayor of Montreal, looked up at the beautiful flying cantilever covering the stadium - an engineering marvel and a source of deep pride for French- speaking Canada. He flinched slightly, taking note of the extra-ordinarily heavy security presence. Remember, this was the first Games after the hooded horror of Munich, when terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes. -
