THE POWERHOUSE IS GOING PLACES!

The Choiseul PowerHouse is “powering ahead” in Cyberspace with the speed of light. Some claim we are hard-hitting and controversial; some claim we are intellectual and academic! Some even claim we are political! Everybody is right! We are all of those things! We have a diverse global audience and it is our pleasure to stimulate your intellectual taste buds and we make no apologies for that. The bottomline is we are independent and have no affinity to any organisation: political or otherwise! We will continue to publish our "power articles"

We wish to extend special thanks to followers for their support. We also encourage you to post your comments and feedback on the Blog using the comments link following the Articles.

A PITON OF SILT IN A VILLAGE



In the height of the seemingly everlasting controversy which has been dogging the Choiseul Fisheries Pond for some time now and all its implications around it, the "pic" below evoked a "sense" of wonder: the evolution of a Piton in the Carib Village of Choiseul. 

The mountain of dredged silt from the entrance of the pond is an indication of the magnitude of the problem facing the local fishermen and the authorities. The big question is: Can anybody solve it? Will the new "Sputnik" excavator solve it or worsen it?

They say the beauty of science and engineering is making the impossible happen, once the resources are available. Indeed, after the invention of the Model T Ford, Henry Ford coined the phrase “Nothing is Impossible”!

For how long will the corresponding sophistry and illusion (or is it punditry?) - political and otherwise - continue to grow before science and engineering intervene to bring in a lasting solution?

"NO-NO" BELIEVES WE ARE WASTING OUR TIME!
The peripatetic and philosophical local character (from Morne Sion) known as "No-No" who was watching the dredging operation had his own take on it. Today, He told to me (in Kweyol): "All the fellahs who build the pond and all dem fellahs who believe they can reverse nature are nothing else but fools! It's God's work" Is No-No right?
