A Seaweed Extraction Exercise to culminate World Day to Combat Desertification (WDCD) which is observed worldwide on June 17th annually was held on Friday, June 26, 2015. The focus this year was "attainment
of food security for all through sustainable food systems". This year's slogan, 'No such thing as a free lunch. Invest in healthy soil', calls for a change in our land use practices through smart agriculture and adaptation to changing climate, especially in the dry fragile parts of the world where food shortages are becoming more and more severe.
To this end, the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) partnered with lead agency, the Forest and Lands Resources Development Department, on the Seaweed Extraction Exercise. The event which was carried out at Sandy Beach in Vieux Fort was a success as 35 volunteers comprising SLNT staff and members, the Forestry Department, Fisheries Department, the Caribbean Youth Environment Forum and Vieux Fort residents amassed about 300 bags of Sargassum seaweeds for farmers who will use it as compost.
The Saint Lucia National Trust conducted a one-day workshop on Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency (CEEE) in the South on Thursday, June 18th at the conference room of the Vieux Fort Fisheries Complex. The main objective of the workshop was to provide participants with useful information on CEEE in Saint Lucia and give practical guidance as potential consumers of CEEE technologies including lighting systems, appliances, building construction material and design
Saint Lucia Spoke Loud & Clear on Climate and Energy Issues
77.14% of the participants believe that the outcomes of the United Nations (UN) climate negotiations since 1992 has not done enough to tackle climate change, while 93.24% of the participants stated that Saint Lucia should take measures to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions even if many other countries do not. Those were some of the opinions emanating from the World Wide Views (WWViews) on Climate and Energy consultation held on June 6, 2015. Although over a little more than 100 participants registered to take part in the exercise, the 74 that actually attended had a day filled with learning, meaningful deliberations and entertainment.
Reducing Threats to Coastal Areas at Sandy Beach
The Saint Lucia National Trust has begun the process of de-silting a major storm drain in Vieux Fort near Sandy Beach. This is in an effort to reduce threats to the coastline line within the Pointe Sable Environmental Protection Area (PSEPA). The storm drain, which runs diagonally from the airport fence to the Sandy Beach shore line, had been clogged for many years. This activity will restore functionality to this infrastructure which is one of many serving as excess water relief points in the area. Most of the extracted sand will be used to replenish sand dunes which suffered damage as a result of the Christmas Eve trough in 2013. This initiative is one component of the project "Building Sustainability of the Coastal Communities of Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia and the Pointe Sable Environmental Protection Area (PSEPA)" being implemented by the Trust, with funding support by the United States Government through the Organization of American States (OAS) under the 'Sustainable Communities in Central America and the Caribbean Project - Phase II'. The major objective of the project is to promote sustainability in all areas of community life within cities and other urban areas.
Tribute to The Honourable Dr. Sir Dunstan St. Omer
Like the invaluable historic ruins of Saint Lucia, the Saint Lucia National Trust will promote and preserve the legacy of one of the Island's great. The Honourable Dr. Sir Dunstan St. Omer has rightfully and respectfully earned his place in the history of Saint Lucia through not only his sterling contribution to Art but as an exemplary citizen, teacher, and role model.
Walcott Place Project Corporate Launch
Almost two hundred people gathered at the Pigeon Island National Landmark on Saturday, January 24, 2015 for the Corporate Launch of the Walcott Place Project. The project, which seeks to convert the childhood home of Derek and Roderick Walcott and adjoining properties into a museum, a space for art and writing workshops and a theatre, is being championed by the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) in collaboration with the Ministry of Physical Development, Housing and Urban Renewal.
This transformative and ambitious project is estimated at US$7.5million (EC$20.2 million). This includes land acquisition, construction costs, fitting and furnishing the museum, theatre and café, and physical enhancements to
the community. So far, The Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has pledged US $2.8 million towards the project. While the Government of Saint Lucia will meet the cost of the land acquisition, estimated at US$750,000 (EC$2 million), leaving a funding gap of US$3.91 million (EC$16.6 million). Considering this, the primary objective of the event was to formally introduce the project to Corporate Saint Lucia, and the general public viewing the live broadcast.
Reflections on Volunteering
in Saint Lucia
27 January to 24 March 2015
It was cold outside. Sunday morning and there was at least ten inches of snow covering my driveway so there was no hope of driving anywhere today!! The weather forecast was for more snow, a biting northerly wind and the temperature dropping to minus 2 by midday. The Sunday Times had been delivered for the marks of the paper boy cutting a lone channel through the snow were the only signs that there was life beyond my front door.
The Pathway to and from Samoa
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Saint Lucia have generally been aware of the ongoing international processes to craft a global sustainable development agenda for the coming decades. Whereas there has been some limited local CSO involvement on those processes, they have not had an opportunity to collectively share their thoughts on their priorities for inclusion in the global development agenda. In particular, Saint Lucia's CSOs considered the outcome of the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS 3) in Samoa in September 2014 to be of particular importance to the local context, and wanted an opportunity to input their thoughts to that process.
The Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) is gearing up to celebrate International Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 in three locations. The theme, "It's Our Turn to Lead" focuses on the need for all citizens to air their concerns about the necessary measures to be taken individually and collectively to address the impacts of climate change. It is a call to the authorities to finally agree on a binding international treaty for climate change mitigation at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015.
Twenty-four representatives of various Civil Society Organizations (CSO) agreed that Saint Lucia should sign on to the Latin American and Caribbean Declaration on the Application of Principle 10 (LAC P10). This consensus was made at an "Access Rights Consultation" organized by the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Centre, Marisule. The objectives of the meeting were to raise the level of awareness about Access Rights and the LAC P10 process; ascertain the views of CSOs on whether it would be beneficial for Saint Lucia to sign on to LAC P10; and create a strategy to strengthen our collective advocacy on the issue. The meeting was held under the theme "You have the right to information, participation and justice regarding environmental matters".
Almost two hundred people gathered at the Pigeon Island National Landmark on Saturday, January 24, 2015 for the Corporate Launch of the Walcott Place Project.

The intersection of Chaussée Road and Grass Street came alive at the Sod Turning Ceremony for the Walcott Place Project on Saturday, January 17, 2015. The event, was graced by Honourable Derek Walcott, his family and close friends. Also present were Governor General of Saint Lucia and Patron of the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT), Her Excellency Dame Pearlette Louisy, Taiwanese Ambassador James Chi-ping Chang, Minister of Physical Development Housing and Urban Renewal - Senator Honourable Stanley Felix, Parliamentary Representative for Castries Central – Honourable Richard Frederick, officials from the various Ministries involved in the Walcott Place Project, residents from Chaussée Road and environs, representatives of the Grass Street Development Association, SLNT Councilors, Members and staff, renowned individuals from the Arts society and the media.
"Our house with its bougainvillea trellises, the front porch gone, was a printery. In its noise I was led up the cramped stair to its offices. I saw the small window near which we slept as boys, how close the roof was. The heat of the galvanize. A desk in my mother's room, not that bed, sunlit, with its rose quilt where we were forbidden to sit."
From Omeros
"I come from a place that likes grandeur; it likes large gestures; it is not inhibited by flourish; it is a rhetorical society; it is a society of physical performance; it is a society of style."
Derek Walcott
The creation of Walcott Place is ambitious; it is grand; and it is long overdue. Walcott Place proposes to create a physical space to celebrate Roderick and Derek Walcott's achievements, and to be a source of inspiration and education. It shall be the focal point for our acknowledgement of the enormity of their contribution to the arts. The Walcott Place project will restore the Walcotts' childhood home located on Chaussee Road in Castries, and convert it, along with adjoining spaces acquired by the Government of Saint Lucia, into a museum of the brothers' works, with studio space for art and writing workshops and a theatre. Moreover the project will lead a renaissance in the Chaussee Road-Grass Street area through the creation of economic opportunities associated with Walcott Place.
Target: Approximately EC$8.05 million (US$3.01 million) is required to meet the total funding requirements of the project.

National Trust Forges Ahead
Only standing room remained as approximately one hundred and sixty (160) members and 11 staff members gathered for the Saint Lucia National Trust's (SLNT) 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at the Bougainvillea Conference Room, Bay Gardens Hotel in Rodney Bay. The attendance was a vast improvement over the last AGM which recorded only 63 members and 16 staff. Governor General of Saint Lucia and Patron of the SLNT, Her Excellency Dame Pearlette Louisy said "I'm practically pleased with the turn out for the meeting this year after lamenting about the level of attendance last year".
It gives me great pleasure to present this report on the work of the 38th Council of the Saint Lucia National Trust, which I had the honour to chair. Ever since our election at the last AGM on November 16 2013, Council functioned as a team to advance the organisation's work within constraints which became all too clear from our first meeting. The first challenge we faced related to the deficit of $690,100.00 in the 2014/15 budget staff presented for approval. Council appreciated the intention of staff to become more aggressive in pursuing grant funding but was cautious about the proposal to draw down on reserve funds. We therefore engaged staff in a prioritization exercise and were able to reduce the deficit to $427,000.00. We have also instructed staff to present monthly financial performance reports to enable Council to monitor implementation of the work programme and financial flows more closely. I am happy to report that we are on track in both of these areas.
Some of the significant transformative projects on the horizon mentioned were the Pigeon Island redevelopment, the listing of buildings of historic significance, and a mandate by the Government to create a place to celebrate the life and works of the Walcott brothers, using their childhood home at lower Chaussee Road as the focal point for this initiative. Dr. Chase also acknowledged the support the Trust has, and continues to receive from a wide and growing range of persons and expertise, and in particular, the support of Her Excellency, Dame Pearlette Louisy who heads the Walcott Place planning committee.

Saint Lucia Civil Society Views on Sustainable Development for submission to SIDS 3 International Conference, September 2014, Samoa
There are intense negotiations at the international level to set a global development agenda for the 2015-30 period. The Rio + 20 conference in Brazil in 2012 produced The Future we Want which is serving as the platform on which the United Nations is developing and will approve in September 2015, the Post 2015 Development Agenda. At the same time, Small Island Developing States are negotiating the Barbados +20 agenda for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing states, which they will approve in September this year in Samoa.
The Saint Lucia Racer: A small creature with big plans and a promising future
The Saint Lucia Racer is truly a unique natural heritage because among other reasons, it is one of four endemic snakes found on the island. The Saint Lucia Racer is also known as the Liophis ornatus and is scientifically referred to as the Erythrolamprus ornatus. In recent times, it assumed the title of the 'World's Known Rarest Snake' and has since been in the spotlight internationally, captivating the minds of conservationists worldwide. In 1936 the racer was considered extinct, but thanks to our nature reserve Maria Major, a racer was able to survive and was re-discovered in 1973. The Saint Lucia racer is currently classified as an endangered species on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The Saint Lucia National Trust is seeking the Public's assistance and cooperation in ensuring that the Maria Islands Nature Reserve remain a national treasure that all citizens could enjoy and be proud of for a long time to come. These islands have been vested in the Trust to protect their rich biodiversity and to oversee a regime that facilitates managed access to this Wildlife Reserve. This means that visits to the islands are coordinated by the Trust. Due to strict bio-security controls which are in effect, anyone wishing to visit should first contact the Trust to be screened to ensure that no alien species are accidentally introduced onto the islets.
Unfortunately, there have been incidents where people have anchored near or ventured unto the islands without first seeking the approval of the Trust. These unsanctioned visits pose a threat as the Trust cannot guarantee that the proper bio-safety protocols are being observed. If anyone is found on the islets under these circumstances, this would be deemed an illegal act and thus liable to consequences under the law. The Trust is appreciative of the public interest in the area and under the appropriate conditions, can facilitate visits to the islands, which are essential in maintaining this country's unique biodiversity.
Please contact the Trust for further information or to report illegal access to the islet. See contact information below.

Gros Islet streets named after influential men
Office of Prime Minister - Monday, April 28th, 2014 at 11:58 AM
PRESS RELEASE - The Cabinet of ministers has agreed to name some roads in the vicinity of the Pigeon Island Causeway after persons who have contributed in kind or effort to the development and or preservation of areas surrounding the Pigeon Island Causeway.
The road from the Gros Islet Bridge to the Landings Hotel will be named the "Jerome Montoute Drive." Montoute is a well-known citizen of Gros Islet. His family lands were acquired by the government to pave the way for the construction of the Rodney Bay Marina. To this day, there are issues surrounding compensation to the family but the government believes that the contribution of the Montoute family to the transformation of Gros Islet must be acknowledged.
The road from the Landings to Pigeon Island will be named after the well-known Jamaican developer and contractor, Moses Matalon. It will now be called the "Moses Matalon Causeway." It was Matalon's company that undertook the dredging work to pave the way for the construction of Rodney Bay and the causeway. It is not often a road is named after a Caricom national but this is a deserved honour to a national of Jamaica whose company transformed the landscape and achieved what many thought was impossible, linking Pigeon Island the mainland. Matalon loved this country dearly.
The link road between the Gros Islet Highway and the junction of the Landings Hotel will be named after famous historian, visionary and champion of the environment, Robert Devaux. The road will now be called, "Robert Devaux Drive." According to the Cabinet of ministers, the legacy of Robert Devaux needs even greater acknowledgement, but this is one small step to honour his extraordinary contribution to Saint Lucia.

A New Board at the Helm of Eco South Tours
A number of critical issues were addressed at the recently held Eco South Tours Inc. Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at the Maria Islands Interpretation Centre in Vieux Fort. The membership raised the need for a revision of the company's Bye Laws and a redefinition of membership roles and responsibilities. They also discussed the need to establish rules to govern the finances of Eco South Tours
On 24 December 2013, a severe weather trough caused the Vieux Fort River to swell and, around 7pm, break its banks in the La Tourney area. The river water flooded the runway of Hewanorra International Airport and rushed into Vieux Fort town. Low-lying areas in the Bacadere, the Mang and Bruceville flooded with 4 ft of muddy water.
From the airport runway, the river water quickly flooded the low-lying plain to the east of town, in the area of the Recreation Park. Just a few weeks before the trough, a backhoe was used to clear an area (approximately 50 meters wide) along the road, apparently in order to open up visual access to the football field. The backhoe cut down some mature trees and bush and levelled what used to be a somewhat elevated sandy area with low dunes.

A tribute by Yves Renard to a grass-roots conservationist Magdalene 'Magda' Nelson who understood what sustainable use of the natural resources meant. The main resource upon which she and fellow community members in the Aupicon area in the south of Saint Lucia relied upon was the nearby Mankote Mangrove. For many years the Forestry Department and other partner organizations (ECNAMP, now CANARI, the Fisheries Department) worked with the charcoal producers such as Magda to put in place management regimes to allow for sustainable harvest of mangrove forest while protecting the integrity of the ecosystem.

Dear Members
With regards to the discussion on use of the sea bed we will be having at our membership meeting on Saturday 2nd March 2013, we have placed some documents on the subject which may be of interest to you.
You will note that whereas there are no definitive policies or laws on the use of the sea bed for development purposes, the documents below provide useful insights on how the matter is handled in the UK.
Bishnu Tulsie
The Saint Lucia National Trust notes that there has been much public debate over the media regarding the proposed Freedom Bay Development. Criticisms have also been leveled against the Trust about our perceived silence on the matter. However, the Council in its wisdom decided not to make a public statement hastily until a thorough research of the issues surrounding the development was completed. These included inter alia, (a) a review and analyses of the various decisions of the World Heritage Committee, the Hyder Report of 2008, and the Environmental Impact Assessment that was completed a few years ago; and (b) discussions with senior Government representatives and the developer.

Dear Members:
There has been much concern expressed by the public over the Freedom Bay Project, and rightly so. There has also been much criticism expressed of the Council and Staff of the SLNT. Nevertheless, the Council decided not to make a public statement until we had completed a thorough research of the issues surrounding the development. These included, inter alia, (a) a review and analyses of the various decisions of the World Heritage Committee, the Hyder Report of 2008, and the Environmental Impact Assessment that was completed a few years ago; and (b) discussions with the Chief Physical Planner, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sustainable Development, and the developer. I am glad to report that we completed this research last night.

Although school is out eight youngsters came proudly clad in their uniforms to ascertain if they secured a place in the Youth Environment Forum (YEF) Logo & Slogan Competition organized by the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT).

Nice hotel ... everything appears pretty newPosted Jun 23, 2015
Pros: new / clean / good service
Cons: prices on meals and adult drinks should come down
Location: great location with plenty to do on-site ... casino/concerts/golfing/pool/several restaurants/good shopping nearby
Nice hotel ... everything appears pretty new ... our first time there and at their casino ... saw Martina McBride at their concert venue and very nice facility ... not a bad seat in the place I suspect ... buffet was good ... meals and adult drinks were overpriced ... $5.00 for a bottle of beer when you are spending money in the casino/restaurants/concert venue/golfing was too much..

Posted May 18, 2015
Pros: Nothing in particular.
Location: Rather isolated. If you're not driving, don't play golf, and aren't keen on gambling, you should stay somewhere else.
Even in a non-smoking room, the smell lingers as it's probably next to impossible to get rid of it completely. We had only breakfast and one lunch at the hotel, and the food was quite good. We stayed there to attend a wedding in nearby Jordan. As we had arrived by air, we had an $80 taxi ride to the hotel. As the hotel is rather isolated and surrounded by golf courses, we were disappointed that there didn't seem to be anywhere to go for a nice walk. However, most people undoubtedly stay there for the casino.

Sticky CarpetPosted May 18, 2015
Pros: Loved the layout
Cons: requested smoking room, but had to get it corrected. Also there very little signage for the hotel or casino.
Location: Never left the building
The rest of the room, the part the cleaning staff has control of was just perfect. I just hate being constantly penalized for smoking, always given the worst rooms.

GIFT was embarrassing!Posted Apr 26, 2015
Pros: Staff were great.
Cons: HOUSEKEEPING needs to be fired! Supervisor and the maid!
We bought a room and a show as a GIFT! The front desk had a lot of difficulty finding the authorization form, but at least the staff was very nice. After dinner and the show, they go up to go to bed, and find wet towels and dirty sheets in the bed. Cigarette butt in the sink, trash in cans. ROOM was NOT cleaned! THAT is ridiculous, but you aren't VEGAS and never will be with simple things like this that do bad. They were given a free breakfast, but was very embarrassing for us - the giver. Ridiculous! This shouldn't happen...

You're paying for conviencePosted Apr 21, 2015
The hotel is nice but the rooms should be nicer for the price. The beds should be WAY more comfortable. You're definitely paying for the convience of being attached to their casino.

Worst Customer Service ever!Posted Apr 19, 2015
Pros: The casino
Cons: Customer Service, it was terrible.
Location: Casino
Worst Customer Service ever! Despite coming out on the positive side on the casino side, the hotel customer service was horrible. At check in, it took 20 minutes to get the rate we reserved. Then, we left and accidentally forgot our bathing suits in the hotel bathroom and received the most rude, unprofessional treatment possible by the hotel and security staff. We are making it a point to NEVER stay in the hotel again.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable.
The Mystic Lake hotel was extremely nice, the staff were awesome! Told them it was our birthday and they upgraded us to a suite, they were all very friendly and made us feel welcome. Hotels are spotless and beds are comfy. We were running a little behind on breakfast and the staff let us do a later check-out. Would highly recommend to friends.

2003 Kia Sorento Q&A
2003 Kia Sorento Question: Crankshaft Bolt Sheared off 2003 Kia Sorento LX 110,000 miles
So the crankshaft bolt on my 03 KIA Sorento LX, has broken/sheared off in the engine. I bought it used and have only had it a month, it's not even paid for yet. I see a lot of people with the same problem on many years and have even seen a few class action law suits out there, has anyone had the same problem? My mechanic is trying to back out the screw, has anyone encountered this problem, replacing the option isn't an option at this time. Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lost - Bldbnr
Answer 1
It is very possible someone reused this bolt after removal, that was a mistake! The crankshaft timing gear and the balancer with this bolt will need to be replaced. AND PROPERLY TORQUED!!!! Each time this bolt is removed for any reason, a new one has got to be installed and torqued to specs., or this will happen again. - pushrod

This is an open-source introduction to Classical Mechanics, by Emeritus Professor Michael Cohen, which many students may find useful as a supplementary resource. Cohen emphasizes basic concepts, such as force and permissible frames of reference, which frequently are dealt with hastily due to time pressures. The text contains numerous solved Examples. The author would appreciate receiving suggestions, questions, comments and criticisms. Accompanying the text is a Manual of Solutions (not just answers) to all of the end-of-chapter problems, by Professor Larry Gladney.

Watch Yard Crashers
Imagine wandering around the local lawn and garden department, trying to decide what in the world you can do with the appearance of your yard. Suddenly a guy walks up to you and asks politely if he can go home with you. After some hesitation, you say yes, because it's free! He follows you home and in hours, he turns your yard into an extreme outdoor living space.
You've just been crashed! When the program starts, Yard Crashers takes a look at the embarrassed owner's yard. The yard owners meet the crew and are asked to rally their friends around them to help out with the process. Next the owners receive a yard plan designed just for them, depending on their preference. Anywhere from an Italian villa to a Thai garden, it is possible.
The Yard Crasher crew arrives in a burst of energy! The excitement is contagious and all participants get into initial destructive activities. A few people are pulling out old shrubs, some people are breaking up the old patio and others are hauling it out to a huge dumpster now located on their driveway. Finally the old yard is torn away and will be replaced shortly. Neighbors are leaning over their fences to hopefully get a glimpse of what is going on. The host is prodding and convincing each participant as he motivates them to keep going. He's playful and witty and a very personable person. Don't be surprised as he lets you put your handprints in the cement, only to smooth it back out after you get your hands all messy. The host will add all of the finishing touches himself, in a mad dash to the finish deadline. He wants to surprise everyone with the final result. Of course there is the occasional set back, where a sprinkler line may explode, but somehow the emergencies are covered professionally.
Who knows, next time you are in the lawn and garden section of the store, you just might be asked if you could use some help for free. Smile and say yes!
