Luckily, she knew Stoveman. Gloria was our map that day for approximately 90 minutes as we journeyed to Biche, Canque Village.
Like a kid in a candy store, I was happy when I got the chance to sit next to Gloria in the maxi. She had my undivided attention as we had intermittent conversations about this highly anticipated village.
Sangre Grande, Plum Mitan, untouched forested areas, rich vegetation and more. I saw the full works. A usually agricultural area, this is where the infamous Mano Benjamin lived. He had enslaved and tortured two girls in the s. Interesting too were the spiritual values of the villagers. Since the community was so closely-knit, less focus was placed on partying. Instead, many people preferred to visit their respective places of worship, the church, temple or mosque.

She was the driving force, the more educated one". He was East Indian while the mother was Venezuelan-born. Mariquita was a beautiful woman and very creative. And she was a mysterious lady. In about June of , an ailing Mariquita left her Manzanilla home for her town house in Port of Spain. She died there, at Riverside Road, on August They chose to bury her at Lapeyrouse Cemetery, Port of Spain, far from the mausoleum that she commissioned for her father at Cedar Hill Public Cemetery, located over the hill from the great house at Manzanilla.
That house was then left vacant for years and vandalised. Every piece of furniture, every article worth something was taken. There is also nothing at the house now that is evidence of her life, and no image of Mariquita is known to exist. However, there are a few things of Mariquita that the Express found. Like her Vauxhall Velox, the car in which she was taken to and from Manzanilla by her driver Roy Austin.
The car, by then rusted and engine beyond repair, was acquired by San Fernando businessman Brij Maharaj, who restored it to pristine condition and returned it to the road. The car, a six-cylinder automatic with a date of manufacture, starred in the Merchant Ivory production of Sir VS Naipaul's The Mystic Masseur and more recently in an historical film, Pan! Several of Mariquita's paintings were rescued from the attic of the Manzanilla great house.
Homer, who was born in Manzanilla and knew of the Johnsons, was the one who retrieved the artwork. He found other pieces but the bats had destroyed them. One painting still in the possession of the Homer family depicts the samaan-tree-shaded walkway of what is likely the Queen's Park Savannah. There is one of the British coat of arms painted at a time when the country was a crown colony. A painting shows two men playing a game of draughts.
Another is of angels. This was the real Mariquita. Art historian Geoffrey MacLean, considered an expert in the work of Trinidad's most famous painter Michel-Jean Cazabon, was asked by the Express whether he knew of Mariquita's art.
MacLean said he spoke with Helen Atteck, who with her sister Sybil one of Trinidad's leading 20th-century artists opened possibly the first art gallery in Trinidad—first in Salvatori Building on Independence Square in Port of Spain and then at Trinidad Hilton, which existed between the mids and late 70s.
She also echoed my thoughts about the second of two paintings, that she Mariquita appeared to be excellent as an illustrator, or in contemporary terms, a graphic artist. The coat of arms is strictly a graphic representation. Her Savannah painting is interesting in terms of its representation — one assumes that it is the Queen's Park Savannah, and one wonders what period this was, the s would be an appropriate guess.
Cleville Morris, whose father was the child born of a relationship with George Johnson and his servant, has sought to resolve the dispute over the ownership of the estate, with the help of his siblings Francis Lloyd-Leopold, and Patricia Leopold. The matter remains muddled. However, Morris, who lives outside of San Fernando but often visits the place of his birth, hopes that one day, the estate of his grandfather will return to a Johnson descendant.
Morris has a dream of restoring the Great House, and making it into an orphanage. One day, children may run through this house. You can contact him at richcharan gmail. While reported measles cases have fallen compared to previous years, progress toward measles elimination continues to decline and the risk of outbreaks is mounting, according to a new report from the World Health Organisation WHO and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC. During , more than 22 million infants missed their first dose of measles vaccine — 3 million more than in , marking the largest increase in two decades and creating dangerous conditions for outbreaks to occur.
Among the books she is eager to have in her store, and in the schools, is an expanded edition of The Project that comes out this week. Gvon released a brand-new chutney soca single on Friday. He believes the entertainment landscape is ripe for the return of some semblance of normalcy and with that, this Southside entertainer is pulling up his socks.
