Chitolie family????????
Family of Chitolies??????
Boy sheeeeeeeee!---sheeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Thank you Mrs.Chitolie. This splendid dedication to your father also provides us with a historical backdrop into the realities of economic struggles and migration.
I especially like your emphasis on "community policing".
May I assert that (listening to my own parents vignettes) that the vintage communities of yore were generally respectful and supportive of their civil servants especially nurses, police officers and teachers. Most communities were willing to galvanize their civic responsibilities or circle the wagons from insidious threats.
Not so today. It is most apparent that "Me, Myself & I" is the current Le spirit de corps for too many communities-today.
His migration to St. Croix is another valuable vignette. It informs us of the need to develop a powerful sustainable WORK ETHIC. Young people can glean from his story that he was always in preparation (character & craft) for the next challenge that inevitable change brings to the fore.
A lesson learned is that youth can discredit the popular adage 'youth is wasted on the young" by committing themselves to preparing or tooling up their character and work ethic - to be prepared for any opportunity, change or challenge to higher levels of performance.
Use to be a library was the best augmentative for the unemployed. Today we have smart phones, tablets etc. with instant access to FREE preparation and work ethic rehearsal. Sadly, all forms of audio /video entertainment, instead of viable economic learning - dominate the browsers /downloads/memories of our CPU's.
Again, I thank you for sharing a brilliant lesson on civic minded character and its associated work ethic.
@ 8:36
Ive noticed a peculiar pattern with a nefarious boggie.
Each time a fine upstanding worthy article (non political)salutes or brings esteem to a setting named Vieux-Fort- a KIDDIOT is the first up to blog some veiled disparaging ooze from its bile ducts.
I can bet if a letter from Mother Theresa was discovered in Calcutta praising the nuns who served in VFort- anony @ 8:36 would be first on to defile both the Saintly Nun and of course Vieux-Fort by any association.
Have no fear my "pulse doppler I/J band multi mode on board radar will soon get a lock on your objectionable character insults.
Better yet accept this therapeutic opportunity?
Was it a romantic liason that bloomed on the sands of Anse Sable. Only to be dashed liked mashed dasheens
rolling down the slopes of Moule-a-cheque?
Perhaps it was an unexpected arrival at Hewanorra by a jilted lover with a new toy in tow?
Maybe a sad employment situation in the manufacturing zone.
Please volunteer the source of this impinging catharsis. You shall feel liberated.
Or else-its going to be an expensive tab for "Ritualistic Exorcism" on Calvary Hill -not be confused with Calvary Road between Chausee and Darling Roads.
Too expensive you say? How about a SEANCE on a full moonlit midnite near a gurgling stream in the Mabouya Valley.
Ok, here is the bargain deal of the day;
Location- Deep woods of the Barre de-lisle
You are issued a bow and quiver of arrows to hunt for one small to medium sized "wild" animal (no females); a machete to harvest an assortment of wild fruits and tubers-
cut saplings to create a makeshift altar to place all the above offerings that you have hunted and gathered.
Next, you will hand sponge bathe in a metal tub of fresh water infused with the gel of crushed hibiscus leaves and liquid Castille Lavender soap
After drying in pure cotton towels you will be massaged (by 3 virgin lassies-) full body with special oils and rolled into a warm blanket (only your head wrapped in special turban will be exposed) at the foot of your makeshift altar.
A group of 3 drummers (male) will form a horse shoe circle 3 yards from your feet and the virgin girls will dance and chant between you and the drummers (nah I shant tell what they wear at these eye & ear riveting rituals- lets just say you need a bucket for copious drooling and nylon tie downs for your shriveled okra).
Yes, this is your bargain ritual to DUMBALAH as a special communique to rid you of those anti /hate Vieux-Fort sentiments.
May the "Force' be with you!
You can run but you cannot hide.....
Anonymous @ 12:21 I will tell you the truth!
I am not a st.Lucian. I don't care a rat-azzzz about you and your crazy little Chitolie's.
What a name? 'Chitolie'
or is it shit-o-le?
12:21 I could see you have something to grand with the person you are making reference 2 "good luck"
12:21 I know you to be a practitioner of the black acts. Yes you are a black magician.
you can't wait 4 good-Friday for you god Satan 2 ride you in the 4-roads of vieux fort.
I could see you already are a Wizard. Because you therapeutic offer is what you and your family have gone through.
the RC priest will have 2 be on the look out for you on good-Friday at Holy communion time. time.
@pathological insulter
So you did see the blood moon eclipse this mid morning and consulted SHANGO -instead.
You are the cat's meow :) Not a Lucian?
OH U got DUMBALLAHS colors quite wrong -absolutely NOT BLACK and most definitely a true CULTURAL AFRICAN DERIVED RELIGION.
YOUR visit to Shango and your "rat-azz" insolence lets me know how SUPERFICIAL & VAIN your character-so let me give you some PITON depth to your character:
- In St. Lucia a family name has greater extensive meaning than the Euro cultural value. Like the ancient Chinese and African culture we value the EXTENDED FAMILY as analagous to the tree of life. Did you note how the author presented a picture of her father with THE GRANDCHILDREN?
The only culture that is strictly NUCLEAR family oriented is the EURO and its derivatives. Asia and Africa BELIEVE in the extended family and they make up nearly 80% of the world's population (including derivatives)
The author wrote of a family name in a part of St.Lucia and I recall mention of that family as respectable hardworking and socially agreeable.
Just the name was all was needed to trigger respect and admiration -even without reading the article.
Le Etrange to St Lucia you clasify uself? Yet in your ignorance of the culture you saw fit to INSULT-
Characters like you help me to understand how persons can walk into a cinema or childrens scholl and let loose with indiscriminate volleys of lead.
Anywho I forgive you -since you are not a LUCIAN- but was smart enough to
consult Shango :)
Your level of cultural integrity is akin to ATILLA THE HUN.
London calling...
If garcon consult Shango?
That means is a gal who put him vex (or is it a hex) with Lucian name calling.
I wonder -wonder-who-who Lucian seductress crush this po boy's ?~^#* (or who wrote the book of love?)
Mate will learn that it is better to be stung by 1000 Coral Sea Jellyfishes,all at once,
than to be seduced by a sultry, comely daughter of Fair Helen- unless u marry her before she can say moi?.
From Manchester ..here is a nice poem that this BLUE boy can sing at supper time:
"Finished with my woman 'cause she
couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am
frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find
something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true
happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late"
Lyrics by
lyrics by BLACK SABBATH
How about some Metal Magic to ease the Cultural Blues..tunder buoy....
London calling ......
YOU are all damn fools!!!
please can any of you identified the name Mr. Theodore with the Cooperative Bank. or what happen to his bank account?
or is Nova scotia bank and Barnard and Com. run by the Chit-o-lies?
Go and have a Shango dance.
London calling from Downing St!
So you have a $ squabble with a member of the family in art
Heck, yuh doh mine a lil East Side cockney idiom to spruce our tea & biscuits introspection) squabbles go on within even tight knit nuclear families...
remember brothers cain & abel- jacob and the animal skin deception- the Sinai clan brothers who sold their young sibling to traders and ends up in Egypt, only to become Pharohs top accountant and financial advisor. The Bible is filled with human drama.
Still, your approach was major trespass to a cultural understanding held by Lucians.
Isolating your beef with one member of a family does not necessitate or allow you to disrespect the FAMILY NAME. When you cross that "sacred" line you are actually dissing or hissing at all Lucians who understand that code of conduct.
You must never throw out the baby with the basin of bath water!
To quote the other bloggers, the article was mostly about work ethic, sense of responsibility, civic duty
community mindedness, family leadership and I add perseverance. The lady stated that the purpose in writing was to honor his qualities as her inspiration. But like the powerful Sulphur Springs overlooking the Soufriere rain forest, you chose to sling a fart stinkey at the decency of family life-here in Fair Helen.
There has to be a better way of stating that personal gripe you may have without the use of a verbalized Kalashnikov AK-47 ( your approach echos the rumbles in Ukraine where arrogance forfeits respectful negotiations).
If your beef has to do with inheritances dispersed to fallow away from your tenacious claim or "rightful" stakeholdings- then yuh gonna need a suite of Hammer Head-Tiger- or great White Barristers- if the bounty is worth at least a 1/4 mill.
Remember the legal species get 30+% of any recoup plus figure in an additional 10-15% for research and gov vat and another 15%-20% for clerical/court related fees.
If your bounty claim is larger than a 1/4 mill I suggest heading over to the Emerald Isle Sister of Fair Helen and to solicit the Arch Duke of all Lesser Antilles Tiger or Great White Barristers: Senor ASTAPHAN. His Nature Isle has Trois Piton instead of deux and a magical Mount Diablotin to boot!
It is speculated that he studied the strategies of St. Lucia's legendary legal wizard Kenneth Foster esg. to enhance his own formidable repertoire.
Anywho, this free prized intel does not absolve you from penance or contrition. Like the stern priest you mentioned (@ the crossroads) I must administer benediction because we had to solicit assistance from beyond the boundaries of virtual reality-across the pond and Thames.
7 Hail Mary Full of Grace penance wont do as contrition for the unrepentant..for true redemption take a look and listen at the world's premier "Shango Dancer". Look & learn how the Da Master deploys the visual /auditory/kinesthetic HIGH altar as in your High Mass!
"you tube, "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones.
Choose a live concert footage - Da Master is superbly mesmerizing with a live audience.
Even the Dumballah neophytes dorming at the Shrine get respectfully melancholic at Jagger's tantalizing trance inducing trancendental double entendres.
If you have the time try comparing concerts where Bill Wyman & Mick Taylor are the Bass & 1st / 2nd guitars high priests at the altar.
Pay close attention to the dark, Hungarian rhapsody influenced riffs, augmented fretted notes, glissandos & staccatos of Da Master's "Glimmer Twin" Keith Richards. Note how they embody the rituals of the altar and captivate the faithful.
Semper Fi

A Very uplifting human story. We need to see more of these!

The picture of this jazz legend who is scheduled to be a main stage Jazz festival star has quite a resemblance in both character / personality and mastery of craft to our Mrs Chitolie.
It would be quite a bonanza to arrange a quiet lunch / dinner and grant Mr Stan Bishop a private interview with the two ladies over and post dessert.
Please save the negative comments for Dante's Inferno- Remember the SLFire Dept is on "flu' strike so all "fire starters" are on their own water bucket brigade :(
Nuff said,
