MY APOLOGIES TO
FRITZ MONDÉ
AND HIS DAD.
My remarks on yersterday’s CARL’S CORNER, responding to Fritz Mondé’s article, were meant for Wizner Abemard Lotry and father, 85 year old Luc Apollon Lotry. Please, Fritz and Fritz’s Dad, accept my most sincere apologies. Hey! Fritz, I must have been smoking something, reading too fast, or getting old !? All the best,
Carl ANSWER FROM FRITZ MONDÉ
Carl,
Yes, Carl those cigars must be to strong for you, smile :) Actually the
dialogue between Wizner and Luc is fictitious, I made up the characters and
conversation to bring a little humor.
However, I take the issue of caring for aging parents quite seriously since
I am at the beginning of watching Fritz Monde Sr. declining. It's unstoppable
but he has me, and that is enough for now. I'm sorry if Wizner's dialogue
came across other than what it was intended for, which is to humorously
dramatize what may or may not occur. But I thank you for rectifying this in
today’s issue.
Sincerely and with all due respect.

REGARDING COLOR PREJUDICE IN HAITI.
Dear Carl:
The piece by Mr. Anthony Georges-Pierre is misleading in its broad-brush characterization of the bourgeoisie of the South as one dominated by the Mulatto and color prejudice.
In the case of Les Cayes, which was one of the more important cities of what was called then the South and where I grew up, the bourgeoisie was genuinely mixed. I will mention a few of the family names -- Adrien, Banatte, Barateau, Bayard, Benoît, Blaise, Blanchet, Buteau, Castel, Chalviré, Chevalier, Condé, Damas, Déjoie, Dennery, Duperval, Jolivert, Josselin, Jeannot, Groin, Hall, Hippolyte, Labossière, Larrieux, Larco, Léon, Loubeau, Neptune, Numa, Piar, Pilorge, Rousseau, Saint-Joie, Scutt, Sicard, Simon, Smarth, Staco, Sylvain, Théard, Thomas, etc.-- and stress that these people came in all shades of skin color and facial features. It would be incomplete not to mention the fact that many Syrian families -- Assali, Georges, Issa, Khouri, Moïse, Saliba, Soucar -- joined that bourgeoisie starting in the 1940s.
They all attended social functions at the Club Militaire and Club Juvenia while their children attended the Club Areyto. Officers of the Haitian Army -- from lieutenant on up whatever their pigmentation or social origin -- attended both clubs. Their children attended Madame Sylvain's school as well as l'Ecole des Frères and l'Ecole des Soeurs. There were, of course, differences in these people's wealth and income: some of the families had substantial businesses, others were relatively large land owners, many were professionals, and a number of them people of modest means with a family name. Contrary to analysts with a Marxist mindset -- I am not attributing such an interpretation to Mr. Pierre! -- this bourgeoisie did not involve people of great wealth such as the Rockefellers, Mellons or Kennedys and not even the Brandts, Nadals or Madsens. Collectively they did not behave as class with a sense that they could impose their views and choices on the government; by and large they behaved as though they were the powerless victims of the government's incompetence, incoherence and corruption and complained bitterly and endlessly about it.
I should add that they all spoke French although with a few exceptions, especially among men, the language of usage was Creole once they got past the salamalecs as the French would put it.
Of course, there were tensions within that class mostly because of the obvious disparity in wealth and income, political differences at election times in 46, 50 and 57, and to a lesser extent the tenacious preference for straight hair and nose, thin lips and yon ti koulè at marriage time -- a preference found in all strata of Haitian society not just in the bourgeoisie I dare say. The latter was a result of the fact that all of our models of beauty came from abroad. That class read Paris Match, Elle and to a minor extent Time Magazine. Ebony was unheard of in these days.
All in all, however, this was not a situation tantamount to Apartheid!
I will leave it to others to talk about the situation in Jacmel and Jérémie, the two other cities that historically belonged to the South.
To conclude the description above applies to a society that no longer exists, the remnants of which can be found in Port-au-Prince, Kendall, Plantation, Montréal and NYC. This is true of all provincial towns in Haiti.
In my humble opinion this massive migration amounted to a great loss to the country for these folks, whatever their foibles, constituted a great asset that has not been truly replaced.

On Friday 20 July 2007 HAITI
THE RENAISANCE OF HAITIAN POETRY
( source, principally, from Naomi M. Garret)
Haitian poet Damoclès Vieux 1876-1936 tells his lady love that he has found infinity, light, duration, and space, all in her eyes. His poetry, therefore, will be personal with only one purpose: to sing her beauty and his love for her. All forces of nature will be subservient to his will for the achievement of this aim:
Je puis, pour chanter tes prunelles
Demander à la nuit sa sombre profondeur,
Aux astres rayonnants leurs vives étincelles
Aux cieux clairs de l’été leur sereine splendeur.
TRANSALATION
I can, to praise your eyes
Ask the night its somber deepness
To the radiant stars their bright sparks
To the bright summer skies their divine splendor.
Haitian poet Damoclès Vieux was included in the world famous D’Artrey’s Anthologie Internationale in 1927 in Paris, France. In speaking of his poetry D’Artrey pays him the following glowing compliment:
“ Haitian poet, Damoclès Vieux, is one of the best and most original in French literature. He shows subtility and brightness in the intimate life of the soul, and knows how to enhance the incomparable distinction of his thoughts and of his sentiments in an extremely new fashion , harmonious and full of rich and delicate images. He has an admirable intellectual lucidity which translates in images of happiness and of exquisite taste.”
The longevity and scope of the Romantic influence on Haitian poets lasted for nearly half a century, personal emotions, strong or delicate, were revealed expressing joy, grief, compassion, scorn, and righteous indignation; concern for man and his destiny; commiseration for their suffering country; fatal pessimism; tender and delicate sentiments. The Romantic influence can hardly be compassed chronologically; it did not die out or give way to any immediate literary reaction agains it. It was as strong at the end of the period as it had been at any time within the era under question.

ROBERT NOEL Regarding remarks by Michael D. Roberts posted on CARL’S CORNER ON
Barack Obama Me? I am not holding my breath.
Dear Michael D. Roberts,
If you did, you would not have to hold your breath for too long. I don’t believe that you read the audacity of hope by senator Obama, because had you read it you would not think that way. You would join the hopeful by now. Obama is a man who dares to believe in the impossible. I believe that God is looking for people like that; some one in the likes of David who dares to believe with God’s help he could do the impossible. Just with a sling, David slew Goliath the biggest giant that ever lived. A dream is not a dream without an aspect of impossibility in it. Have you heard the term; “the embodiment of the spirit”. I am sure that Senator Obama embodies the spirit of reconciliation. He is here for such a time as this to reconcile blacks and whites together, take humanity beyond the adversarial system that is driving the world by pitching blacks against whites.
Audacity of hope, keep hope alive all of these are terms of faith; the hope that God in his aspect of time will do the impossible. As the Hindus believe that God is time and in time he will engage all beings. I am sure that the time is now, God sends someone who embodies the spirit that will reconcile blacks and whites together, putting them on equal footing. Obama is the one. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, no one believed that there would be transition without bloodshed until God sent a Michail Gorbachev to help them. He introduced to the people of the Soviet Union the concept of perestroika which means openness. He embodied the spirit of openness. he was able to take the soviet Union from communism, a close society to capitalism, an open society with no shot fired. With God all things are possible to him that believes; if you dare to believe in the audacity of hope.
We know what it is that keeps the world dividing between the lines of blacks and whites; it is the works of the devil. Dear Robert, I dare you to believe in the promises of God for humanity’; “for that he came, to destroy the works of darkness to undo the works of the devil” no one has to tell you that the struggle between blacks and whites is not the work of the devil, you know it is.

SiCKO patients got VIP
Treatment in CUBA..
By Anthony Boadle
HAVANA, Vuba (Reuters) Three New York rescue workers injured in the September 11 attacks got the best treatment Cuba can offer in Michael Moore's film critique of US health care, the Cuban doctors who attended them said this week.
The 9/11 responders spent 10 days on the 19th floor of Cuba's flagship hospital with a view of the Caribbean sea, a sharp contrast to many Cuban hospitals that are crumbling, badly lit, and which lack equipment and medicines.
They included a fireman and an emergency medical technician, Regina Cervantes, with respiratory problems caused by inhaling dust and fumes in the World Trade Center ruins.
There were given a barrage of tests, including a psychological evaluation, and new dosages of medication. One got a tooth implant for a jaw fractured at Ground Zero.
The main difference with their treatment in the United States: there was no bill.
"We can't say we did miracles in the few days they were here. What we did was give them the highest quality treatment. It was totally free," said Dr. Nelson Gomez, medical director of the Hermanos Almejeiras Hospital.
"They were not here long, but they did improve." he said.
Cervantes, who rushed to Ground Zero on September 11 and had a badly burnt airway after three days of rescue work, said last month that after being treated in Havana she was taken off medication she could hardly afford in the United States.
The movie, "SiCKo", has stirred heated debate in the United States since opening in June.
Moore used Cuba to argue that other countries are providing better health care to its citizens than the United States with far fewer resources, putting the blame on profit-driven US pharmaceutical and medical insurance industries.
Communist Cuba's universal free health system has achieved low child mortality and high longevity rates on a par with rich nations since Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.
But the hospital where SiCKO's patients were treated is an exception in Cuba, where patients of many other hospitals complain they have to take their own sheets and food.
The building with a majestic high-ceiling lobby was meant to be Cuba's central bank when it was started by US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Completed years after Castro's revolution, it was turned into Cuba's top hospital.
The 750-bed Hermanos Almejeiras is Cuba's main hospital for heart and liver transplants with a staff of 500 doctors and 800 nurses.
Cuban health officials say they have given priority to preventing disease by renovating a network of 498 neighborhood health centers across the island that bring health care closer to people's homes.
The number of children dying before their fifth birthday is seven per 1,000 live births in Cuba, versus eight per 1,000 in the United States, according to the World Health Organization.
At Rampa Polyclinic in Havana, where Moore's group was seen before referral to hospital, Dr. Juan Carlos Castellanos said Cubans do not die of infectious diseases prevalent in Third World countries.
"The main causes of death in Cuba are the same as in rich nations: cardiovascular disease and cancer," he said, sitting under a picture of revolutionary icon and doctor, Che Guevara.

( R-FL) Ros-Lehtinen's DC Chief of Staff Talks to Haitian Students About U.S. System of Government.
( R-FL) Congresswoman Ileana Ros-lehtinen's DC Chief of Staff, Art Estopinan, met with a group of visiting Haitian students during their time in our nation's Capitol. The students, all from the Academie Diplomatique D'Haiti in Port-au- Prince, received a history and government lesson from Mr. Estopinan, who has been working in DC for close to two decades now and knows the ins and outs of the Capital. Mr. Estopinan also spoke about the US Congress and our system of government and about Ros-Lehtinen's support for TPS for Haitians as well as a US-Haiti free trade agreement.
Said Mr. Estopinan, "It was a real honor speaking to these young Haitian college students about the positive side of the US-Haiti relationship and the great role models they can be for their homeland and its future. After all, these students represent what Haiti can become if the Haitian people come together for the good of their country. I am very hopeful that through these students exchanges and an increase in bilateral relations, Haiti will become a full fledged member of the international community."

dans l´été cubain.
Je n´ai jamais fait autre
chose qu’écrire des
histoires pour rendre les lecteurs heureux..
La Havane (PL) – Cet été, Cuba dédie un espace important à la vie et à l´œuvre de l´écrivain colombien Gabriel García Márquez, avec des projections de films, et des présentations de livres. .
Le programme, qui se déroule durant les mois de juillet et août, fait partie du projet Rutas y Andares, patronné par le Bureau de l´Historien de la Ville, et a comme siège le Centre Historique de la capitale cubaine.
La première journée de la Route spéciale García Márquez fut ouverte avec une conférence sur ses relations avec la Fondation du Nouveau Cinéma Latino-américain et l´École Internationale de San Antonio de los Baños, dont il est fondateur.
Elle sera suivie d’un cycle de cinéma avec des titres comme Eréndira (1983), Un monsieur très vieux avec des ailes énormes (1988), Pas de lettre pour le colonel (1999), Miracle à Rome (1988), parmi d’autres.
Simon Bolivar vu par García Márquez, la violence dans l´oeuvre de l´auteur de L´amour en temps du choléra et sa relation avec le journalisme, sont certains des sujets qui seront traités dans des panels et des colloques.
L´hommage se somme à d´autres, réalisé cette année dans l´île, pour fêter son 80ème anniversaires, le 25ème de son Prix Nobel, le 40ème de la publication de Cent années de solitude et le 60ème de son premier conte La troisième résignation.

Le Général-Président Paul Eugène Magloire aurait eu 100 ans le 19 Juillet 2007 s'il vivait encore.
Ce que je ne comprends pas encore : c'est le silence de l'histoire d'Haiti sur le père de Paul E Magloire qui fut Général de l'Armée d'Haiti ou de la Garde d'Haiti. Il semble qu'on ne saura pas ou jamais où naquit vraiment le Général-Président Paul Eugène Magloire …
« Ti Paul mèt dam dépi li fèt ... »
Je sens que Paul E Magloire a vu qu'on se trompait sur sa localité de naissance , mais il a laissé faire sciemment, sachant en madré et rusé politicien qu'un candidat à la présidence d'Haiti a mieux fait de naitre dans une bourgade retirée de l'arrière-pays à Trou Coucou par exemple , plutôt qu'au Cap-Français .

El poeta y las estrellas
Tú me enseñaste a sentir amor A entender lo que vivé y está en él, A descubrir un sol distinto, A confiar en la luz desde el instinto.
Hoy puedo ver el fondo del amor Aprender de un beso sin calor, Del dolor comprender sus ironías, De una lagrima la sal de sus manías.
Que más puedo decir cariño mío, Que estoy algo cansado y es muy tarde, Ten confianza amor y deja de pensar, Fue un error tocar la inmensidad.
Hoy quiero volver de nuevo a ti, Tomar tus manos, besarte y ser feliz, Descubrir otra vida en esta vida, Elevarnos por encima del perdón.
Duele mucho el pasado que no olvida, No perdona los transfugios del amor, Un poeta busca en las estrellas, El calor del amor que brota de ellas.

Pwòvèb-la pou jodi-a: “ Si chen tonbe rakonte rèv-li, moun pa ta janm mashe lannuit.” Nan tout istwa limanite pa janm genyen yon grenn revolysion esklav ki reusi yon kote, ke li te blan, nwè, jonn, rouj. Pa yon grenn, eksepte pou revolisyon Sen Domeng-la. Nan listwa limanite chak ras nan gwoup kap swiv yo te gen yon moman ou lot li te anba kod: tuk, ejypsyen, grèk, endyen meriken, amenien, polonè, rus, chinwa, jwif, palestinyen, ak la triye.
Men, se sèl grenn fwa nan istwa planèt-lan, yon ras san defans, ki te fin deshalbore ak esklavaj, anba kod, pou kont-li, pwan libète-li wololoy nan chire pit son yon teren chen manje chen: Ras sa-an, se ras ayisyenn-la.
An nou koumanse antre nan faz final endependans Sen Domeng. Dènye kout kat ki pwal fèt, ayi bobo, pou bay peyi Dayiti libète-li, se pwal inite jral Alexandre Pétion, yon milat, ki te fèt lib nan koloni-a, ak jral Jean-Jacques Dessalines, yon nèg nwè, ki te fèt esklav nan Sen Domeng. Pétion te tounen Sen Domeng ak Leklè pou goumen kont Tousen. Opinyon pèsonèl pa-m, mwen kwè drapo nou an, deviz la te dwe-ye “l’inite fè la fos,” o-lye de “l’inion fè la fos.” Mo “inion”-an two fòw. Mo “inion”–an bay enpresyon se yon kontwa pou la vi, men mo “inite”-an plis kon yon kontwa, pou yon bout tan. Lè kontra an fini, an nou siyen yon nouvo kontwa paske tan yo tout tan ap chanje. Nan pwen denmen si-m te konnen. Jan chante-an di tou, nan pwen renmen ki pa mande kite.
Bon. Desalin sete bwa dwat Tousen, men Pétion ak Desalin, te gen yon zanmitay youn pou lot san yo pat janm nan tete lang. Politik kraze zo jral Leklè-an (menm jan ak politik ti joj la nan peyi l-Irak ki fè tout moun revolte) fè de mesye sa-yo vin gen menm lide: endepandans ak libète, epi zanmitay-yo devlope. Anvan sa ,13 oktob lanne 1802, yo te mete tèt ansanm nan vil Okap, yon plan lagè pou te fè franse-yo bat dèyè-yo. Pétion te dako pou Desalin ta Jral-an-shef lame indijenn la. Desalin kon militè militan, se li ki te la pli lontan, anplis se nèg ki pat manje anyen ki fwèt ak yon lame indijenn ki te pè-li, ki te respekte-li.
Lot ofisye indijenn yo, Kristof, Romain, Brav,Yayou, Kapwa, te dako pou Desalin te pran konn la, menm jan pi ta ak lot gwo chabrak militè-yo, Jefra, Canje, epi Ferou. Zot ki pat dako pou komandman Desalin lan, kon Peti-Nwèl,Sansousi, Laroz, Lamou Derans, de ti-shèf band penyen lage, Desalin ak Kristof pran bot yo. Swa yo te blije fè wout pou peyi san chapo, ou byen ale kale wès nan kèk prizon. Pat gen jwèt nan sa. Penyen lage pat a la mod lè sa-a, pou la tè ki ta wral twanble pou bay Ayiti Toma endepandans-li. Sa ki pat kontan anbake. Se inite sa-a ki pral bay zansèt-yo la viktwa. Jral Geffra, zansèt senatè Louis Déjoie ki te nan deblozay ak papa Doc eleksyon lanne 1957-la, ta pwal konsantre nan depatman sid-la pou konsantre nan fifty-one jral Leklè.
Pétion ak Desalin reyini nan depatman wès-la, Lakayè, mwa me lane 1803 ak tout gwo zouzoun-yo. Desalin rashe koulè blan-an nan dwapo franse ble, blan, rouj-lan. Li fè sa douvan foul-la paske drapo twa koulè-an te sinbolyze pou indijenn-yo, inion twa klass moun: blan pou franse, rouj pou milat, ak ble pou nwa. Jral brigad Kapwa Lamò tap pare nan nor-wès-la. Depatman lwès lan men-m, Desalin te remèt-li bay Pétion li te rele konye-an, “mon konpè”. Se pat inite anko, sete inion, sete lanmou. Mesye sa-yo te kon Kokot ak Figaro, men, jan mwen toujou di nanpwen lanmou ki pa mande kite. Desalin nonmen Pétion, Jral de Divizion. Patou kote li te pase, Desalin te kominike chalè endepandans bay troup li- yo. Suksesè Leklè-an, jral Donasyen Roshanbo, ta pral gen vant fè mal, si pa yon keke rèl.
MEZANMI, se la map rete pou jodi-a. Na pale denmen, si Granmèt la vle.
