Garlic Chives
Garlic chives can aid respiratory disorders
by Annette Maynard-Watson
BOY OH BOY! My grandmother returned from front line duties in Bimtoons and she had many stories to relate to me about King Coven and his 19 villains.
Remember, last week she insisted that I was duty bound to tell you about General Mugwort. This general was healing the villagers of Madagascar and King Coven was very angry. However, back in Bimtoons my grandmother related that Queen Mary had lifted some of the sanctions and the villagers were very happy.
Many of them were ecstatic to go to the barber and many were thrilled because they no longer needed to cook on the wood fires because the Chef was again serving roti and wing dings.
However, my grandmother said that all of this activity was placing stress on some of the villagers in Bimtoons. They were feeling stress because in the midst of the hive of activities, King Coven was beginning to feel happy again because one of the esteemed Queens of the village was struck by him and his 19 villains.
This Queen was staying in another village but decided to return home in her private canoe to stay with relatives. However, as the news circulated that she was successfully attacked by King Coven and his 19 villains, the village was in a hush. They could not believe what they were hearing and this caused them to contemplate.
Assist the sick Queen
While they were contemplating, a silent Lieutenant named Garlic Chives approached Queen Mary and asked to assist the sick Queen. Unknown to many of the villagers, Lord Herbert escorted Lieutenant Garlic Chives to my grandmother. This is what my grandmother reported about Garlic Chives.
This silent doctor has the ability to fight respiratory challenges. Now Lieutenant Garlic Chives is a very unpopular kitchen garden herb.
Her scientific name is Allium ramosum Linn and the bulbs, flowers and leaves are used for healing.
It is known that in the neighbouring village of Peru it is used to treat asthma and bronchitis. In fact, the entire plant is diced and boiled with sugar and ginger. After, a spoonful is taken every six hours for one week. It can also treat the cough, anaemia, insomnia, sore throat, incontinence, lumbago and reduce blood cholesterol levels. The sick queen and the villagers were advised to dry some of the leaves of the chives and make tea to assist with improving their immune system.
As time passed, the villagers in Bimtoons were having many conversations about King Coven and the 19 villains because Lieutenant Garlic Chives had joined Black Seed Oil and was now a part of the winning team. Stay tuned.

Education Reform

-
One Caribbean Nation. It is extremely difficult to believe that we are incapable of solving current challenges relating to crime and other acts of social deviancy. Our culture remains the foundation of our development. It has undergone tremendous change, both for the better and the worst, during the last four decades. However, we remain a society that still demonstrates some virtues of basic decency toward each other but we   have failed to recognize that culture must be maintained, instilled and explained to our citizens. We cannot continue to ignore the depth of cultural penetration , as we sought socio economic development during the post-independence period. To address this , we must seriously examine our education system . The present raging debate regarding the transformation of the system clearly shows we want change but also expect to cling to the status quo ; this creates a perfect   recipe for confusion. The current method of transferring children from the pr...

Abolish 11 - Plus

One Caribbean Nation. ‘Abolish 11-Plus’: VETERAN EDUCATOR ADAMS SLAMS ‘EXAM INEQUALITY’ By Sheria Brathwaite Former senator and retired principal Alwyn Adams on Friday reignited calls to scrap the Barbados Secondary School Entrance Examination, commonly known as the 11-Plus, describing it as an outdated relic of educational segregation that stifles the potential of the working class. While delivering the keynote address at Speech Day of St Leonard's Boys' Secondary School where he was once principal, Adams criticised the island's education system, declaring that it was failing the people and urgently needed reform. Repeating a call made two years ago, he argued that the common entrance examination is an antiquated mechanism designed to limit the academic advancement of Barbados' working class and perpetuate educational segregation. He said then that with Barbados having transitioned to a republic, the country ought to get rid of the current educational system which he...
