IN CUSTODY: Ryan Rampersad
FROM crossing the “big stage” to being honoured on another, artist, designer and bandleader Rosalind Gabriel was yesterday awarded with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) from The University of the West Indies (The UWI), St Augustine campus, for her decades-long contributions to culture.
With over four decades of involvement in Carnival, 73-year-old Gabriel has created a legacy of hard work and creativity, especially for her contributions to Kiddies’ Carnival. According to The UWI, Gabriel’s love for Carnival started during childhood in the 1950s as she would watch mas bands pass in front of her Stone Street, Port of Spain, home on their routes.
Former South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA) chairman Lackram Bodoe yesterday lashed out at the Government, following a video on social media showing a San Fernando General Hospital staff member being given a piggyback by a man who was pushing a wheelchair with a patient, and walking through water along a corridor at the hospital.
The area was blocked off by chairs, which were moved for the three to pass. A woman is heard saying: “What is this? Watch what we reach to.”
Bodoe said the scene would be funny, were it not a real scenario at one of this country’s hospitals.
