A
great time was enjoyed by all who attended Sunday’s Sports
& Family Day, hosted by the ANSA McAL Group of Companies
at St Mary’s College Grounds, Serpentine Road, St Clair.
With the Group’s executive and the event’s organising
committee taking an active part, the day’s proceedings
opened with the singing of the National Anthem by Guardian
Senior sub-editor Marvin Smith. The colourful march past completed,
with each team and queen doing a routine, group chairman/CEO
A Norman Sabga officially declared the programme open.
One of the day’s highlights was the lip sync competition,
which was won by popular calypsonian Ninja (Kenson Neptune),
of “We Parang de Wrong House” fame. The CDC-Carib
Brewery staffer interpreted Shadow’s “Hornerman.”
He was followed in the placing by the trio of Khalifar Manning,
Leisel Francis and Carnelia Miller (ANSA Finance & Merchant
Bk Ltd/TATIL), doing Destiny’s Child’s “Independent
Woman”; and ABEL/Bestcrete’s Teneille Cooper and
Navin Lutchman, simulating “Come Beta” by Destra
and Shurwayne Winchester.

NOSTALGIA
was very much in the air when I spent Sunday evening
with a number of school chums at the fourth annual Mother’s
Day reunion of St James Government Secondary past students.
It was fascinating running into schoolmates I hadn’t
seen in over 35 years, like Donna Morley, as well as
some of my teachers, including Joan Richardson, Ms Colthrust
and 1969 St James Sec principal, Van Stewart.
Aside from a sumptuous dinner, prepared by past students
(St James Sec always had an excellent Home Ec programme),
entertainment was provided by calypsonians Black Sage
and Gary Cordner, both past students.

students who either didn’t know about this year’s
gathering or were just too busy to attend are reminded that
it’s held every year on the Sunday following Mother’s
Day.

Sunday’s
cool for Levy
Jamaican
dancehall mega star Barrington Levy is coming to perform at
the 14th edition of Sunday’s Cool on Sunday, May 30.
It’s
one of the most popular fetes locally for the year and this
year its producers are really pushing the envelope. For Sunday’s
Cool 14, the headline guest artiste will be Jamaican reggae
icon Barrington Levy.
Sunday’s Cool 14, billed as “Licence to Thrill,”
takes place on Sunday, May 30, at MO2BS, Chaguaramas. Performing
alongside Levy is the cream of the crop of local DJs, including
Richard Simply Smooth, Kabuki, Adrian Don Mora, Mr Q and John
Gill.
From its inception, Sunday’s Cool has been known to take
patrons on a musical ride back in time, with the best of retro,
back-in-times calypso, reggae, R&B, and pop music. In
previous years, the party has presented Swamp Dogg and Rennie
Bishop.
Music
for the needy
THE
Guardian Neediest Cases Fund is to benefit handsomely from
a concert featuring two of this country’s foremost concert
pianists. Richard Tang Yuk, who grew up in Trinidad but currently
resides in New Jersey, is teaming up with his friend Enrique
Ali, for a piano-duo recital at Queen’s Hall, on Wednesday,
June 16.
In a release this week, Tang Yuk stated: “We would like
to give our proceeds (after expenses) to a local charity and
thought of the Guardian Neediest Cases Fund, which we think
is one of the most worthy.”
On behalf of the newspaper and the Fund, thank you guys.
