Julien (not his real name) dove into the depths of the facility’s issues and why “correctional” should never be tied to the prison’s name. ]]></description>

Neither Prime Minister Allen Chastanet nor Taiwanese Ambassador Douglas Shen attended. They were leading Saint Lucia’s biggest delegation ever to Taiwan to authentically commemorate this year’s National Day. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I find myself asking overseas-based friends and family if running away from Saint Lucia is worth the discomfort and discrimination they face elsewhere. Most times the answer is no; the unhappiness, the loneliness are not worth it. But it is the best way to earn some money. “I’m too old to stay in Saint Lucia with no work,” is what a recent graduate from a Taiwanese university told me when she was on her way to America, not knowing where she would live or how she would get the money to survive. All she knew was that there was nothing at home for her.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To officially launch Creole Heritage Month 2019, an oversized panel of women and George “Fish” Alphonse readied to tell the press what’s in store for what has been the country’s biggest cultural celebration for decades. But what was meant to be a press conference seemed like the Msgr. Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre’s cry for help under the pressure of all the other Creole Heritage Month stakeholders. The big players in what we now know as Jounen Kwéyòl include Cultural Development Foundation (CDF), Events Company of Saint Lucia (ECSL) and the Government of Saint Lucia, all with their own mandate. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The United States of America is suffering a growing public health crisis that shows no signs of slowing down. The only thing all victims have in common is that they vape. At press time, thirteen people have died in the US and there are 805 known cases of a mysterious, severe lung illness occurring in e-cigarette users, according to US health officials. Hundreds more cases than the first cited 530 were reported in the past week alone. ]]></description>

Additionally, he would use his first salary from the teaching job he expected to start on September 2 to buy Joshua whatever fun things he wanted. But Chaz would never deliver on his promises. In the early hours of Sunday, August 31, he drove his mother’s car into an electricity pole at Union, breaking it and causing a power outage in the area. By all accounts, Chaz died on impact.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At a press conference last week, aimed at countering widespread propaganda against the scheduled arrival of US Navy Ship Comfort, Dr Merlene Fredericks-James, Saint Lucia’s Chief Medical Officer, sought to reassure potential recipients of the floating hospital’s services. The USNS Comfort is expected to be in Saint Lucia from September 25 to 30. This week it was the turn of the US Embassy in Barbados, through its Public Affairs Officer Larry Soocha, to take a shot at dispelling the persistent rumours.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The excited bodies stretched over the railing at the front of the stage tried in vain to touch Tarrus Riley as the headliner skipped across the hot platform during the second show at this year’s Roots &#038; Soul Festival. The “conscious” Rastaman belted out a string of Caribbean favourites, including ever popular “She’s Royal,” and the reggae version of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”—to the delight of attendant Looshans. The more he delivered, the more the sing-along audience screamed for more. At every opportunity he recited the Rastafarian canticle  “Who Jah bless, no man curse”—which the crowd loved.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I read online some questions from the Opposition Leader about the Prime Minister’s social media presence. Mr. Philip Pierre seemed awfully perturbed about the cost of such publicity and the source of the funds. The more I read, the funnier the opposition MP’s questions seemed to me. I wondered: Why hasn’t Mr. Pierre questioned government’s spending in relation to radio and newspaper promotions? His own party, more often than not, carries live on the Internet its demonstrations, platform meetings and town hall gatherings.  So, as far as I know, there have been no public announcements regarding cost or where the money came from to pay for such exposure.   ]]></description>
