  • The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000
    The Story of Football in Trinidad and Tobago 1893 -2000 Chapter One Kick-off THE Trinidad News and San Fernando Gazette of June 6, 1893, was not at all happy with what was happening in the Trinidad society during the year. The paper reported that there was growing corruption among the youth in the colony which was the direct result of the invasion of Government offices as well as stores and estates by strangers from the United Kingdom. In its editorial entitled ‘Agricultural pursuits,’ the paper noted: “What with the invasion of government offices, of stores and sugar estates by strangers from the mother country, more particularly from Scotland, and what with the growing corruption of our young men by frequentation of places of evil, gambling halls, dignity balls etc, our youth of the better classes are in a fair way of becoming a nuisance to themselves and their country, instead of, as in other countries, forming the main factor of the moral, intellectual and physical wealth of their native land.” The paper continued: “It would be knocking our heads against a stone wall to find fault with Scotsmen who now have the dry goods trade and the management of sugar estates mostly in their hands because they send their poor relatives or friends from Scotland to fill situations of emoluments under them. We believe our creole youth to be brighter than the young strangers who are imported to occupy posts which of right, should be theirs and with the knowledge they have of people, their ways, their language and their wants, they would certainly be more useful.

H Well it’s April already, and we are starting into another busy time of the year. I hope everyone is surviving all of the spring rain! The first on the list of functions is Daffodil at the Tacoma Yacht Club April 15th thru the 17th. This is great event where they have good food, dancing and competition for all. The Olympia Yacht Club has a long tradition of doing very well in these competitions. Our enthusiasm at this event is off the charts. Let’s keep our tradition going! Last year we had 21 boats in Tacoma. Let’s see if we can beat it this year. This event is always a lot of fun. The next event is Seattle Opening Day. It runs from May 5th to the 8th. I re- alize that it is a long trip, but it is well worth it. There is so much going on with all of the surrounding clubs getting into the act, with meals and activities i.e. dancing every night and lots of parties on the docks with friends. We do have an officer’s boat in the parade, and we could use a decorated boat if someone is interested in volunteering their boat. So mark your calendars and join us in Seattle for their opening day. Finally on May 13th and 14th it will be South Sound Opening Day. It will start off with a TGIF and deco- rating on Friday night.

  • Caricom and Security Governance: Probing the Limits Of
    CARICOM AND SECURITY GOVERNANCE: PROBING THE LIMITS OF REGIONAL COOPERATION BY JESSICA BYRON Abstract Regional integration in the Caribbean has always had an implicit security dimension. It has been driven by small state perceptions of their political and economic vulnerability vis-à-vis the external environment and the need for collective responses. Since 1973, a number of institutions have evolved to provide responses in the form of regular consultations and declaratory diplomacy, harmonized approaches to national security, dispute settlement and conflict management initiatives, often undertaken in collaboration with other multilateral organizations like the Organization of American States (OAS). Nonetheless, from the Grenadian Revolution (1979 – 1983) to the Haitian Crisis of 2006, CARICOM has struggled to reach consensus positions, undertake effective joint action and maintain its credibility in the face of certain regional security issues. This paper will draw on Kirchner’s conceptual framework of security governance to discuss and assess CARICOM’s role in this area of regional cooperation. Introduction This paper examines the concept of security governance and discusses its applicability to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). It explores whether CARICOM fits the profile of a “security provider”, given the very different geopolitical circumstances of the Caribbean region and the capabilities of the organization itself compared with those of the European Union. Specifically, this comparison is made in the context of Emil Kirchner’s suggestion that the EU’s form of security governance may offer a model that can be transferred to other regions (Kirchner, 2006). The paper begins by discussing the concept of governance in a security context and matching this notion against our understanding of the origins, structure and functions of CARICOM.
