In observance of World Hypertension Day on May 17, 2025, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs joined the global community in raising awareness of hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, which continues to be a major contributor to premature deaths both globally and in Saint Lucia.   This year's global theme, “Measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, live longer,” reinforces the Ministry's ongoing efforts to promote better health practices. Accurate measurement using clinically validated monitors and proper technique remains a cornerstone of early diagnosis and sustained management. According to national health statistics, an estimated 2 out of 5 Saint Lucian adults aged 18 to 69 years, or approximately 40 percent, are affected by hypertension. Even more concerning is that fewer than 1 in 5 persons with hypertension in Saint Lucia have their blood pressure under control.

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) remain a persistent public health challenge in Saint Lucia, exacerbated by socio-economic vulnerabilities, limited public awareness, and insufficient engagement across key sectors. While efforts exist within individual ministries, a coordinated, culturally relevant, and community-driven approach is lacking. CARPHA, in collaboration with national stakeholders, has initiated a Public Education Campaign (PEC) using a realistic framework to explore what works, for whom, and under what conditions. A recent scoping mission revealed critical gaps and opportunities in VBD prevention, including: • Inadequate digital communication and M&E systems • Limited integration of VBD content in school curricula • Socioeconomic barriers to behaviour change • Underutilization of religious and tourism sector platforms Objective To reduce the incidence of VBDs in Saint Lucia by launching a multisectoral public education campaign that fosters sustained behavioural change through targeted training, community engagement, and digital innovation.

Embracing innovation has been outlined as a necessary step in positioning Saint Lucia to safely harness its marine resources.   This year, at the launch of the annually observed Innovation and Creativity Week, focus was placed on the Blue Economy and its ability to inspire change.

In a spirited effort to promote healthier lifestyles and prevent chronic disease, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, in partnership with the Capacity Building Project for the Prevention and Control of Metabolic Diseases in Saint Lucia, successfully hosted the “Healthy Eating for Better Living” initiative on Friday, April 25, 2025, at the Saltibus Wellness Centre. The one-day event, grounded in health education and prevention, brought together a cross-section of specially invited guests, healthcare professionals, and Ministry officials dedicated to addressing the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases. A key highlight of the day was an engaging, hands-on cooking demonstration designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills of preparing nutritious, affordable meals using locally available ingredients.

Many golf courses pride themselves on their lush landscapes, but few stop to consider the unseen challenges of maintaining them—especially on remote islands. In this episode, we dive into the unexpected realities of water management at one of the world's most stunning new golf resorts, Cabot St. Lucia. Without easy access to freshwater, maintaining fairways and greens becomes a surprisingly complex and costly endeavor, revealing a hidden problem that many golf operations face without even realizing it. As director of agronomy Damon Di Giorgio explains, water scarcity isn't just a looming environmental issue—it's a daily operational reality that demands creative solutions. From reverse osmosis desalination systems to microclimate-specific management strategies, Damon and his team must be meticulous with every drop. Listeners will come to appreciate how standard practices elsewhere would spell disaster in a setting like St. Lucia—and why sustainable resource management isn't a bonus, but a necessity. By the end of the conversation, you'll see how Cabot St. Lucia isn't just surviving these challenges—they're setting a new standard for eco-conscious, cost-effective golf course management. Through innovative partnerships, on-site nurseries, and precision agronomy practices, the team at Cabot demonstrates that environmental sustainability and financial sustainability can—and must—go hand-in-hand for the future of golf. Topics covered:   (0:00) Damon's intro and Cabot St. Lucia John Failla introduces Damon Di Giorgio and shares personal experience playing the course Damon shares his background and role at Cabot St. Lucia Overview of Cabot Collection and Point Hardy Golf Club (04:20) Damon's agronomy leadership Damon explains his “head trash picker-upper” philosophy Three key divisions: beach cleaning, landscaping, and course maintenance Emphasis on supporting and mentoring his team leaders (06:54) Defining sustainability locally Damon frames sustainability as both “the right thing” and “necessity” Explains high cost of desalinated irrigation water Describes Cabot's design prioritizing minimal water use (08:53) Island operations challenges Long, complex supply chains vs. mainland operations Heavy reliance on planning, stocking, and improvisation Specific issues with beach cleaning and sargassum influx (12:22) Big sustainability projects Replanting native plants removed during course construction Two onsite nurseries: landscaping propagation and organic farming Use of saltwater and organic fertilizers to reduce chemical use (20:44) Key partnerships advancing sustainability Entire Cabot Collection enrolled in Audubon's Platinum Signature Sanctuary program Toro partnership working toward AI-driven moisture management Regular soil testing and precision irrigation practices (27:10) Future vision and tech innovation Focus on microclimate-based management across the course Research collaborations to time pest and weed control naturally Dream of reusing desalination brine for sustainable herbicide solutions Resources & People Mentioned Cabot St. Lucia — https://cabotstlucia.com Audubon International's Platinum Signature Sanctuary Program — https://www.auduboninternational.org/signature-sanctuary-certification Toro and TurfRad Technologies — https://www.turfnet.com/news.html/toro-and-turfrad-develop-new-moisture-sensor-technology-r1840/ Connect with Damon Di Giorgio   Connect with Damon Di Giorgio on LinkedIn Connect With Golf Sustainability   LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram X (Twitter) Email   Subscribe to Golf Sustainability Apple Podcast  Spotify    Note: Timestamps provided are approximate.

Anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas said in his book, Rituals: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living, that rituals often have no physical result when performed. Instead, rituals are symbolic, and perform a very essential function in the roles of community building, cooperation, and trust. In this Nordic on Tap episode, we delve into the Saint Lucia ritual, which coincides with the old winter solstice date (Dec 13th) on the Julian calendar.  What happens during the St. Lucia ritual? Who participates?  Traditionally in Sweden, Lucia was depicted as a blue-eyed, blonde girl with fair skin. However, in modern times, as the population becomes more diverse, the St. Lucia ritual has evolved to reflect a broader range of backgrounds, promoting greater inclusivity. This highlights how traditions can evolve to reflect societal changes while still maintaining their cultural significance. Join me as we try to make sense of this with Stina Cowan, the Cultural Director at the Swedish Club Northwest, in Seattle, Washington USA.  We also listen to  3 traditional and lovely Lucia Day songs associated with the ritual. See extras and links on our website episode page on Nordic on Tap.

Dante approaches the gates of hell! Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by Dr. Jennifer Frey, the Dean of the new Honors College at the University of Tulsa, and Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson, the Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University, to discuss cantos 2-5 of Dante's Inferno.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com. Check out OUR GUIDE to Dante's Inferno: 80+ Questions and Answers.13. What happens in the Vestibule of Hell (Cantos 2-3)?The narrative of the Dark Woods in Canto 1 is arguably the introduction to the entire Divine Comedy, and as such, Canto 2 serves as the introduction to the first volume or canticle, the Inferno.[1] Note that Dante begins the Canto by invoking the Muses, which was common in the “classic epic tradition.”[2] The Canto explains that the Virgin Mary took pity on Dante, and she told Saint Lucia to help him. St. Lucia then asked Beatrice, a soul in heaven who knows Dante, to help Dante; Beatrice then went into hell and asked Virgil to be Dante's guide.[3] Whereas the three beasts of Canto I represent the threefold structure of hell, the three ladies of Canto 2 represent grace.[4] His heart emboldened, Dante and Virgil enter the “deep and rugged road” and arrive at the gate of hell.[5] The inscription of the gate reads:I AM THE WAY INTO THE DOLEFUL CITY / I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL GRIEF, /I AM THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN RACE.
