reek yogurt is a secret ingredient to a protein packed workout smoothie as it contains roughly double the amount of protein and half the carbohydrates than regular yogurt, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer if you’re looking to lose weight.

Its texture is thicker than regular yogurt, which makes it an ideal smoothie thickener as well as a great substitute for sour cream and crème fraiche for baking, cooking or making dips and sauces.

Oats are incredibly nutritious and adding them to any smoothie will help keep you full and can improve blood sugar control along with having other health benefits.

Dear Readers, Conveniently caught between T&T’s two favourite seasons of sweet Parang and Soca, we could not have been more ready and pleased to introduce our fifth and perhaps favourite edition of Bar Business TT. You may have seen this publication at a bar, cafe, club or online, Bar Business TT has taken off, and not without its challenges. As many of our readers and partners can attest to, the beverage industry, like many other sectors crucial to our economy’s health, has taken a hit in 2018.

However, if it’s one thing we Trinis can and should take pride in, it’s our resilience. We’ve continuously assessed ourselves throughout the circulation of our first four issues and decided to channel all our energy and efforts into this latest edition to make it our best yet. With content to complement the celebrations of Christmas and Carnival, we trust that you will be thoroughly entertained, if not learn something completely new. In this glossy, you’ll read about the origins of a T&T’s Christmas as the associated traditions, which remain alive today.

After exploring a T&T Christmas, we shift themes to take a look at our beloved Carnival, “The Greatest Show on Earth” and what gives us the right to proclaim it as such. We included a number of recipes to complement both occasions, from sorrel and ponche de crème to wine cocktails and the tantalizing Caribia concoctions, which you’ll find on the very next page.

Evidently, Bar Business TT wants its readers to get the most of our life, but also passionately encourage responsible behaviour, and as such, we sought to include more sober content with one of our articles highlighting the dangers associated with serving alcohol to minors.

CARIRI has provided us with useful information covering “The importance of protecting intellectual property”. Our ability to share this material is all down to you, our readers, clients and partners, who’ve supported us and given Bar Business TT a platform to grow and improve with each issue.

For that we’re eternally grateful. We thank you.

Bar Business TT would like to use this opportunity to wish you, your family and all significant others a safe and prosperous 2019 and beyond.

Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago

iven we’re in the closing stretch of Christmas, our team at BBTT was curious as to the level of significance the season still plays in Trinidad and Tobago. In doing so, we took a look at the earliest traditions and what roles they play in our society today.

Firstly, did you know that Trinidad’s first Christmas was observed in 1569? Historical records indicate that Fr. Miguel Diosdados (Reyes) led the Order of Observantines, from which six priests chose to celebrate the festival by going on a whirlwind tour of many villages, where they were treated to local cuisine. This one act set the tone by which Christmas was celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago. Through the years, it became customary for Christians, after attending Christmas services at church, that one was expected to have their home prepared for a joyous celebration of the Yuletide season, complete with a sumptuous feast of delicacies, served with that inimitable Trini warmth and hospitality.

As a result, this gave birth to the Trini tradition of pressing every pair of available hands into service, to give every home a thorough cleaning, refurbishing and decorating. If the family’s budget was tight, then creative do-it-yourself methods were implemented to ensure the home had that special Christmas feeling where everything became fresh and bright. Also, recipes for pastelles, fruitcake and the hallmarks of Christmas – ham, ginger beer, ponche de crème and sorrel – were steadily improved and passed down through the generations, highly treasured and heavily guarded.

Christmas, of course, is synonymous with carols. Trinidad and Tobago had its own vibrant twist on one of the most recognisable Christmas groups – Paranderos – who wander

from house to house performing the most upbeat indigenous folk music, which orignated from our South American neighbour Venezuela. Dressed as brightly as their smiles, the Paranderos set the lively tone with their own musical instruments such as the chac-chac, cuatro, bass box, mandolin, guitar, flutes and tambourines. They were both equally loved and caused immense exasperation to many a host family by waking them up at night and demanding their share of Christmas treats, especially the Christmas ham!

The Paranderos tradition still lives to this day through a small but loyal and passionate following. Some other traditions were adopted over the years, including the exchange of Christmas cards to friends and family. Usually cards with a winter theme dominated local themes. However, as Trinbagonian artists became more confident in their cultural identity, cards designed with a Caribbean Christmas theme have become more widely produced.

In keeping with the Christmas season’s spirit of generosity and goodwill to all, another beautiful Trini tradition was created by communities forming a Christmas parade of Santa with his entourage of elves, travelling through the streets, often in a fire truck, sharing toys, sweets and gift baskets to the less fortunate.

These traditions are still alive in many communities to this day, although there have been the lamentations that especially over the last decade, people are becoming increasingly isolated and more focused on the commercialisation of Christmas, the parties and pleasure, as opposed to community building and the celebration of the fundamental reasons for Christmas, which are generosity, love and goodwill to all. What are your thoughts on this dear reader?

Guy and Gordon Limited supports the industry with the widest range of food service disposables for all occasions and seasons in Trinidad and Tobago, giving customers the choice of the right products to express their creativity and make their establishments standout in the crowd with a range of affordable products which allows customers to compete in the market-place.

Ponche de Crème

Similar to eggnog, which is a combination of milk and eggs, ponche de crème is a rich and creamy alcohol beverage enjoyed all year round and is a staple to many at Christmas time in Trinidad & Tobago and throughout the Caribbean. Within recent years sole traders and caterers have put their artisanal spin on old family recipes to bottle, distribute and sell nationwide!

This smooth and sweet milk-based cocktail contains rum, aromatic bitters, lime rind and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The rum chemically cooks and preserves the drink which can last for as long as a full year and more when stored in glass bottles and kept refrigerated. For those who have never gotten around to making their own ponche de crème, the following is a simple yet delicious recipe to try:

INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • •

6 eggs 3 tins of Carnation condensed milk 2 tins of Carnation evaporated milk 1 26oz bottle of White Oak rum 1 tablespoon Angostura aromatic bitters ½ teaspoon cinnamon Grated nutmeg Lime peel (avoid the white pith)

METHOD

• Separate the egg yolk from the whites. Add the peel to the egg whites and beat until stiff • In a separate bowl beat the yolks and then add it to the egg white mixture • Mix the condensed milk into the eggs one tin at and followed by the condensed milk, one tin at a time then add in the white rum, bitters, nutmeg and cinnamon • Finally, remove the peel and serve with lots of crushed ice. Store in clean, sterilized glass bottles

USEFUL TIPS

• For eggless ponche de crème substitute 6 eggs for 1½ cups of pureed steamed pumpkin • Adding the lime peel when beating the egg whites helps cut the freshness of the raw egg

Sorrel

During Christmas and the New Year, sorrel is a favourite drink among the young and old and usually two batches are prepared, with one being spiked for the adults. Like many popular plants grown in the Caribbean region, sorrel has its origins in West Africa and is also known as Roselle, or less widely recognised, by its scientific name ‘Hibiscus sabdariffa’. Sorrel is a species of the Hibiscus family and should not be confused with the vegetable of the same name from temperate countries. There are different types of sorrel grown in the region. However, the deep red fruit of the Roselle which bears annually is the most common variety found in the Caribbean.

The sorrel drink is fairly nutritional, rich in vitamins A & C, magnesium, calcium and potassium and is said to be effective in treating hypertension and allergies. The juice is drawn by steeping the outer skin (sepals) of the fresh or dried red fruit in hot water and produces a rich, red liquid. There is no set formula in making sorrel, you just adjust with less or more water and sugar to suit your palate. The potency in sorrel allows its taste to get better the longer it is allowed to age.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs fresh sorrel • 8-10 cups of water • 2 cinnamon sticks • 12 cloves • 2 cups sugar or simple syrup (see recipe and method below) • 2 teaspoons of Angostura aromatic bitters

METHOD

• Wash sorrel thoroughly to remove all remnants of dried leaves, bugs and dirt • In a non-reactive pot bring the water to a boil. Add the sorrel, cinnamon sticks and clove. Cover and boil for 5 minutes • Remove pot from heat and keeping it covered leave it overnight to steep • Strain the mixture into a glass jar, add the bitters and mix in the sugar until fully dissolved • Store in clean, sterilised glass bottles and serve with ice

USEFUL TIPS

• Contrary to the belief of many, it is not necessary to remove the seeds from the sorrel. Skipping this step won’t alter the taste and will save on the time spent to make it • If using dried sorrel, replace 2 lbs of fresh sorrel for 2 cups of dried sorrel • Try lining a sieve with cheesecloth before straining the mixture, this helps to catch tiny particles and impurities in the mixture • For a thicker consistency and to make sure the sugar is fully incorporated you can sweeten by using a simple syrup (bring to a boil 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of sugar, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved) • The sorrel mixture is highly pigmented and therefore stains, so storing in glass over plastic is recommended barbusinesstt.com

Dreams can come true

by Sandrae Lawrence (The Cocktail Lovers)

W

e can all dream. Some of those dreams fade away and others, if we’re lucky, become reality. Over a hundred years ago, Don Carlos Siegert had a very special dream. His father had already founded Angostura® Aromatic Bitters, but his dream was about rum – he wanted to make the “smoothest blend in the new world.”

Many years have passed since then and the blenders from The House of Angostura® have realised that dream time and time again. Trained in original traditions, they’ve always maintained carefully guarded formulas and very special techniques. All Angostura® rums are aged in American oak casks, previously used to age bourbon. The interaction between liquid and oak resulting in an exceptionally mellow, well-balanced rum, with a smoothness

that characterises each Angostura® blend and continually realises Don Carlos’ dream.

But the quest for the smoothest blends is a never-ending story, and in 2013 it was taken to another level with the launch of The Cask Collection. Celebrating the rich heritage and artistry of The House of Angostura®, it’s a limited edition range dedicated to rums matured in different types of cask.

Each expression within The Cask Collection goes by the description ‘No. 1’.

Why? Quite simply because each is one of a kind – never to be repeated.

Back in 2013, came No. 1 – First Fill Bourbon, aged in charred oak bourbon casks. Two years later, in 2015, it was followed by No. 1 – French Oak, both winning the coveted title of Rum of the Year from the Rum Journal.

Now, in 2018, the story continues with No. 1 – Oloroso Sherry, which

explores rum blends aged in American oak, then finished for nine more months in Oloroso Sherry casks – a first for The House of Angostura®.

No. 1 – Oloroso Sherry is an elegant fusion of techniques learnt from the Old World and perfected in the New World.

The colour is a beautiful amber with delicate clarity. It features warm, rounded aromas with a subtle nose of cocoa, molasses, oak and sweet prune. As for the taste, it’s a delightful blend with hints of woodiness, roasted nuts and, of course, sherry, with a finish which is rounded and oaky. Importantly, it continues to beautifully realise the dream of Don Carlos Siegert, as an exquisite and silkily smooth, complex blend.

No. 1 – Oloroso Sherry is limited to just 16,200 bottles and, like its illustrious predecessors, it will never be repeated.

It’s a truly luxurious 40% rum from The House of Angostura®. Created to be enjoyed as a sublime sipping experience or gently opened up over a little ice.

And as you raise the glass to your lips remember Don Carlos and join him in his dream.

T

rinidad and Tobago’s Christmas celebrations have already begun, and sweet parang music is playing on the local radio stations; including Scrunter’s ‘Homemade Wine,’ which is where our story kicks off.

I remember growing up in the rural area of Maracas, St. Joseph, listening to Scrunter regale us with the tales of the sweet and tasty flavours of local wine. I also remember family members making these wines in two-gallon mason jars.

A series of events eventually unfolded, and coupled with my own entrepreneurial spirit 11 Degrees North (11DegN) was born.

You may be wondering why 11DegN? Well, Trinidad’s exact geographical location is 10.58 Degrees north, so we just rounded it up. This is significant because our unique location determines rainfall, sunlight duration, richness of soil, etc. All of which plays a substantial role in the bearing of the fruits we use, and the actual acidity/sweetness, among other factors, which eventually yields that perfect bottle of wine.

We at 11DegN have partnered with several local farmers and local retailers to manufacture and stock our wines. We have also prided ourselves on being as local as we can. We, however, source and ship some the yeasts used in the fermentation process, and the corks (yes we cork our wines, no caps here) from abroad.

But from the farmer who plants and reaps the fruits that we use, to the hands that bottle and distribute our wines, we have committed to being as local as can be.

My obsession with all things wine, as well as my innate drive to improve my craft has lead me to travel the world. I have spent time in well-known wine producing regions such as: Argentina, California and several parts of Europe, visiting as many wineries and vineyards as I could; learning and absorbing all the nuances and traditions that go along with making wine. These visits opened my eyes tremendously and helped me elevate my

product from just being perceived as something “granny use to make”, to being the most sought after boutique wine in the country. Our wines are also heavily requested by those who live abroad; we have gotten requests from as far as Australia.

The question we are asked the most is: Is this a real wine?

We at 11DegN apply and use the same aerobic and anaerobic fermentation processes as every other wine in the world. It is also aged in oak, which adds to the complexity and flavor, with other secret ingredients that we have adopted from our travels, which adds a greater level of sophistication and panache.

Our current wine catalogue comes in five unique and distinct flavours: cashew, five finger, pommerac, jamun, and the most requested of them all – Sorrel. We encourage you to pick up a bottle at any of the following locations: WEST • Connoisseurs Pantry ( Movie Towne) • Bottle Stop, Maraval • Uncorked, Tragarete Road • The Shop Normandie, St Anns • The Pub House, Ariapita Avenue EAST • Twee, Piarco, Duty Free • Happy Gourmet, Valpark Shopping Plaza • Xtra Foods, O’mera CENTRAL • TnT Wine Cellar, Couva • Xtra Foods, Endeavor SOUTH • The Mini Mart at Tradewinds Hotel, San Fernando • Time to Wine, San Fernando TOBAGO • Time to Wine, Shirvan Plaza • R.T.

How to

...behind the bar with Dale Sebro-Joseph

We had the pleasure of meeting a young and brilliant chef and mixologist on his 23rd birthday, which he celebrated with his family and friends at the newly re-opened All Out Sports Bar and Gourmet Grill on Tragarete Road.

April 2018 Dale made the CUTT at the THRTA’s annual culinary competition ‘Making the CUTT,’ to be part of the 2018 Trinidad and Tobago National Culinary Team of which seven persons competed at the annual Taste of the Caribbean Competition held in Miami, Florida.

With the okay from GM Duane Govia, we put Dale to the test and asked him to demonstrate how to throw a cocktail. With little effort and in no time the superstar concocted for us an All Out Cosmo using the following: Ingredients: • 2 oz Vodka • 1oz Grand Manier • 1oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice • Splash of Cranberry Juice • 1 Lime Wheel Tools: Shaker tin, julep strainer & jigger

Ensure you have all your tools and ingredients.

22

Oct-Dec 2018

™

Pour all the suggested quantities of ingredients into one shaker tin and place the julep strainer on top. Fill the second shaker tin with ice.

More than just to look cool, to throw a cocktail refers to the method of chilling and mixing a drink without diluting it too much, and is designed to aerate the drink which gives a textural element in a way that stirring and shaking can’t.

This somewhat forgotten method of throwing a cocktail is particularly effective when making drinks that are typically stirred and when using wine based ingredients such as vermouth and sherry, it releases aromatics.

To experience the benefits of throwing a drink, compare a stirred and thrown version of a Manhattan, Martini or Negroni. Here are the four simple steps to follow shared

by Dale on how to throw a cocktail with ease and confidence!

ALL OUT SPORTS BAR AND GOURMET GRILL 1st Floor Queen’s Park Oval, 94 Tragarete Road, Port-of-Spain T: 622-6730 E: allouttt.info@gmail.com Opening hours: Sunday - Thursday: 11am - 11pm Friday: 11am - 1am Saturday: 11am - 12am Weekly specials: Buffet Brunch 10am - 2pm Every Sunday $135.00 Express Lunch 12pm - 3pm Monday - Thursday: $50 Pizza Mondays 5pm: buy any pizza and bottle of Barefoot Wine for $199 Thirsty Thursdays 6pm - 1pm: $12 Mugs Draught Beer Crazy Cocktail Fridays 8pm - 10pm: One Free refill on cocktails purchased

The Importance of Protecting Intellectual Property W

hen companies talk about investing in their assets, they tend to focus on their tangibles such as building, vehicles, equipment and machinery.

What may come as a shock is the very neglected worth of intangible assets such as the business’ name, logo, designs and even creative and intellectual efforts.

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), these “creations of the mind” are your Intellectual Property (IP) and covers inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

As a country, it is vital to promote and protect IP as the creation and invention of new works promote and encourages innovation which spurs economic growth, creates new jobs and industries and enhances the quality of life. This innovation is evident in many European countries such as Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands who have consistently captured high rankings in the world’s most innovative country index by WIPO. Their efficient and equitable IP systems are a perfect example of striking a balance between the interests of innovators and public interest while providing an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish for the benefit of all.

In Trinidad and Tobago, synergistic IP relationships such as these are

28

Oct-Dec 2018

developing between the Ministry of the Attorney General and Legal AffairsIntellectual Property Office (IPO) and the Caribbean Industrial Research Institute (CARIRI) with initiatives such as the free monthly Intellectual Property Clinic where persons can make appointments to have one-on-one confidential meeting with an experienced IP Officer to discuss their idea or product and how to protect their IP. As a business owner, you should ask, “What type of Intellectual Property can my business use to safeguard myself from complications such as copyright piracy; trademark counterfeiting and patent infringement which have become significant problems in the business community?”

Copyright covers literary works (such as novels, poems and plays), films, music, artistic works (e.g. drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures) and architectural design. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings and broadcasters in their radio and television programs Industrial Property includes patents for inventions, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications, new plant varieties and trade secrets.

Patents are a monopoly granted by the Government to an inventor for a

particular invention, giving him sole rights to exclude others from making, using or selling an invention. Some unique patents that we use in our daily lives include post-its, bubble wrap, modern pencil with eraser and the bendable straw.

Establishing a strong brand is pivotal to business success. Protecting that brand is equally as important. Thus far, many small businesses overlook a critical first step in securing their brand: Trademarks.

As a general rule, if your business name will be a large part of your marketing, you should consider trademarking it. Most persons are familiar with trademarks from the famous Nike “swoosh” and Apple logo to names such as Google and even our local KC Candy, Angostura and Caribbean Airlines.

Geographical indicators are products that are associated with specific regions which are renowned and trusted for their quality and authenticity. The most prominent example of geographic indicators is Champagne, the wine, which is named after the region where it is grown, fermented and bottled: Champagne, France. According to European Law, these are the only labels that are legally allowed to bear the name “Champagne”. It would be of great National pride as a country if we were awarded a geographical indicator for the Moruga Scorpion Pepper or even the Gran Couva Chocolate.

Industrial Design is the protection of the ornamental aspect of an object such as the famous Coca- Cola curvy bottle, Mini Cooper, Kitchen Aid mixers and locally the Chubby bottle. The last type of IP is Trade Secrets and speaks to any confidential business information which provides an enterprise with a competitive edge. The most common examples are Kentucky Fried Chickens secret herb and spice blend, Coca-Cola formulation, Listerine and even our very own Angostura Bitters.

As the saying goes, “All great ideas are at risk of being stolen” and to prevent this, companies should seek protection at the earliest stage. Even large conglomerates can be challenged with IP issues as evidenced by the on-going disputes between Apple and Samsung with their smartphone design.

You might be thinking, “I’m a sole proprietor or a small business owner, and I don’t have any IP to protect.”

You couldn’t be more wrong. A name or brand conveys all the “goodwill” of your product or service. Goodwill is a term used in accountancy and law. It is an intangible asset of a business; and can include product development and design, employees and their skill sets, the brand name and logo recognition, customer lists, and relationships.

IP protects more than just an idea or a concept- it protects genuine business assets that may be integral to the core services of your business and overall long-term viability. As a business owner, securing your IP can protect you against those who seek to wrongfully make, sell or import your product or service without your permission.

A novel and attractive product can be reproduced and commercialized as an imitation or counterfeit of the original product. For those exporting, perhaps the most dangerous mistake is to realize the importance of IP too late, i.e. the product has already been copied, or you are unknowingly infringing on another company’s IP which can lead to legal ramifications. IP protection helps deter counterfeiters and may even stop that counterfeited product at the border through useful customs legal actions based on those original IP rights All businesses regardless of size have undoubtedly utilized online platforms such as Facebook, Amazon or other e-commerce platforms to buy or sell products. While the internet is ideal for reaching vast audiences at relatively low costs, this increases the probability of IP theft and having your unique ideas, products or services infringed upon, even from the other side of the world!

IP protection can be used as a competitive advantage and act as a differentiator between your brands and others. Without protection, your competitors can easily use your success to take away market share, resulting in slow growth and loss of revenue. Loss of market share in the early stages of business development can be devastating and time-consuming if you are trying to chase guilty parties involved.

Proper IP as a business not only safeguards you from legal woes but can also be a revenue stream for your organization. Companies can earn revenue by using their IP to create a product then selling it themselves (business creation); licensing it for a onetime fee or royalties and lastly, selling full ownership to a third party if the idea is risky or capital intensive.

The bottom line is – protecting your intellectual property rights is protecting your business. Of course, the type of business you own will determine what your needs regarding IP protection are, whether it be a patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, etc. The name of your company and its logo are part of the branding that sets your business apart. Protecting that is as important as protecting your cash register, so you must be vigilant to protect your IP rights.

Top tech toys to watch in 2019

T

echnology has become a staple of our everyday lives. We often prioritise technology like we would with the most basic of living essentials like food, clothing and shelter.

As it is becoming more and more important in our everyday lives, why not have some fun with it, right? With this in mind, we at BBTT present our list of top tech toy trends to watch in 2019.

Also here are some tips to care for the tech you already have: For the Audiophile

Sonos Play: 5 Home Speaker (See more on www.sonos.com) Fills the room with a rich, deep bass audio experience, controlled by a touch top panel and can be connected via plugin to any device, which streams over Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth, so you can answer a call without stopping the music. The device is compatible with Amazon Echo, Dot and AirPlay 2.

For the Home Tech Specialist:

Echo Show (2nd Gen) (See more on www.amazon.com) Amazon’s Alexa doesn’t have to just tell you what you want to know; she can also show you. Listen to music, see video (and video chat), manage your schedule and even pay attention to your home surveillance. The Echo Show is complete with 8 microphones and farfield technology, which means Alexa will always hear your commands. It’s the ultimate smart home hub.

1. Always use the right chargers for your devices and stick to the charging cycles recommended by the manufacturers. You don’t want to stress those Lithium ion batteries, resulting in poor battery performance and the risk of battery explosions!

2. If your devices must be unused for a period of time, remove the battery where possible and store in a cool dry place. Pop in a couple silica gel packets to keep everything nice and dry. Moisture is NOT tech gadgets friend, at all.

3. Planning to sell or pass your beloved device to a friend, such as phones, cameras, music players etc? Once you make your decision, do ensure you backup and WIPE ALL YOUR DATA off the device. It’s not a soothing thought thinking about someone having access to your persona data is it?

4. Practice safe device handling. Unless your device is encased in shock-proof, water proof cases, you have no business dropping or tossing your devices around like Frisbees. Ensure your screened devices have compatible screen protectors.

For the WiFi Lover:

TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extender (See more on www.amazon.com) Say goodbye to that rat’s nest of wires of regular WiFi range extenders, TP-Link lets you plug and instantly increase your WiFi range to over 10,000 square feet.

Complete with three adjustable external antennas, the transmission power is <20dbm(2.4GHz), <23dbm(5GHz)

30

Oct-Dec 2018

For the Home Media Streamer:

Google ChromeCast 3rd Gen (See more on www.amazon.com) Imagine being able to stream any content from video streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu and Youtube, while sharing whatever’s on your computer screen – making gaming, presentations and generally anything, which requires a video input easy to use with just a

tap on your mobile phone or PC. That’s what you’ll get with the adorably tiny puck shaped Google ChromeCast. Plug into any HDMI TV screen port and stream any content you need.

Hope you enjoyed our 2019 tech toy list!

The Greatest Show on Earth Carnival in T&T

T

here is an inherent connection between what we describe as “The Greatest Show on Earth” and the favourable elements most commonly associated with this country: diversity, freedom and unity.

From Kiddies Carnival to the timeless Panorama, Trinidad & Tobago Carnival topples generational, religious and ethnic divides to create a unique festival for our own and for the thousands of revellers and spectators who visit annually without any desire to leave.

Such is its grandeur, T&T Carnival can lay claim to a direct influence over similar festivals now celebrated in New York, Toronto and Notting Hill, which celebrated its 52nd event this year.

Carnival or “Mas” - short for masquerades - was introduced and celebrated exclusively by French plantation owners in the late 1700s. Among the very few traditions created by the French, which remains relevant today, is the scheduling of Mas immediately before the annual Roman Catholic observance of Lent.

Although barred from most forms of expression, slaves, who made up much of the population, formed their own version, Canboulay. Essentially a forerunner to modern mas, Canboulay

34

Oct-Dec 2018

™

gave birth to the world renowned Calypso music, thanks to the defiance of the oppressed.

With the emancipation of slaves in the British Caribbean colonies in 1834, Carnival began to develop into a festival, which bears similarities up to today.

It swiftly became an annual fixture reflective of defiance and celebration.

Numerous attempts were made by society’s elite, but Mas persisted and grew.

The defiance of a systematically oppressed class was subtly, or notso-subtly, expressed by the creation of traditional Carnival characters, including perhaps the elites’ least favourite, the Dame Lorraine, which started a man, dressed with exaggerated features to mock the rich plantation owner’s wife.

Many characters have risen and dropped in popularity, such the moko jumbie, the midnight robber and the Pierrot Grenade, all with unique histories of their own. Carnival has undoubtedly seen considerable change over the last three decades.

Not least noticeable is the transition of kaiso or Calypso as T&T’s most

recognisable genre of music to Soca. The rise of a more liberal-leaning generation also gave way to a change in attitudes toward Carnival wear with costumes becoming based less on a traditional character or over-elaborate and heavy costumes, and more akin to a celebration of the human anatomy and individual expression.

What makes Carnival an all-inclusive affair is that the season remains an attraction to those who enjoy its historical contexts and to those who enjoy more than just a party.

J’ouvert, for example, is closely connected to the emancipation of slaves, yet remains one of the most predominant facets of the celebration. From J’ouvert to Tuesday evening, two days on the road dominate the season, yet it never seems to be enough.

By the time last-lap is complete, many a reveller is utterly spent, while the other bunch can barely wait for the remainder of the year to fly by and for Carnival to return.

Some things are unquantifiable and not worth the debate, which is why there’s no arguing with a Trini who proclaims Carnival as “the greatest show on earth.”

Dangers associated with serving alcohol to minors

G

iven that this publication is targeted directly and only to the “legal” demographic, this commentary will explore the harms of adults serving alcohol to minors. The psychological and physical risks involved with underage drinking are well documented with problems ranging from early dependency, alcohol poisoning, brain damage, impaired judgment and physical development issues.

But, instructing a child not to do something risky, will in many cases only serve to arouse their natural curiosity.

According to the Children’s Bill (2012), a child can be reprimanded by the police with a simple warning if caught in possession of alcohol. The penalty for an adult who serves the alcohol to a minor, however, is much more severe. Thus, this article is targeted to adults, who may or may not have made the grave error of serving alcohol to a child under 18. Needless to say, certain laws are viewed with a laissez faire attitude by regular citizens, especially laws which are left unenforced.

In fact, outspoken T&T Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith recently said, “It is rare in this country to see bartenders demanding a form of ID from anyone who may be perceived to be a minor, prior to serving them alcohol.” Griffith sought to remind the public of the laws of the land, which state: “A person who knowingly sells or allows another person to sell intoxicating liquor to a child under the age of eighteen years, whether for the child’s own use or not, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction for a first offence to a fine of $7,500.00, and in the case of a second offence to a fine of $10,000.00, and to a term of imprisonment for one year and in the case of a third or subsequent offence to a fine of $15,000.00 and to a term of imprisonment for two years.”

His statements resounded. However, the limited resources available to the authorities will unlikely result in the complete eradication of this practice, which is why it is imperative for adults to understand the dangers of serving alcohol from both a legal standpoint and a moral one. The obvious danger with serving alcohol to minors is that both children and teenagers have a much lower tolerance for alcohol than adults and as

38

Oct-Dec 2018

™

such are at much greater risk of suffering from alcohol poisoning or other direct or indirect injury to the body, even with what an adult might consider a “small amount.” Then there’s the serious moral dilemma: facilitating the inebriation of a minor is leaving a minor vulnerable to physical abuse, sexual abuse, accidents and countless other harmful situations. It is not particularly uncommon for an adult to permit the use of or give a child alcohol with a firm belief that it is a means of encouraging responsible or controlled drinking, but this could not be further from reality.

Impressionable juveniles are often over-confident in their abilities and would often, if given the chance, test their limits to a dangerous level.

Studies strongly suggest that minors who receive alcohol from their parents, guardians or others responsible for their welfare, have higher rates of alcoholism during these developing years and especially later in life. According to the US-based Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “youths who start drinking before the age of 15 years are six times more likely to develop alcohol dependence or abuse later in life than those who begin drinking at or after 21 years.”

Alcohol is an addictive substance and the trend of binge drinking, which is more popular among teenagers, serves as a more dangerous form of consumption to the developing brain. Save the medical parlance, another study showed a direct correlation between heavy drinking (20 drinks or more per week) in adolescents and changes in the frontal cortex of the brain, leading to decreased cognitive function, memory, attention span and spatial skills.

The issue is certainly contentious but there is a firm view by many that alcohol is a gateway drug of sorts. While this remains debatable, another study from the University of Florida did show that preventing children from consuming alcohol and delaying its use into adulthood considerably reduces their chances of becoming addicted to other drugs.

There is nothing constructive about serving alcohol to minors and we humbly encourage adults to remember their role in paving the way for responsible and healthy adults of tomorrow.
