TANAR TALENTAT SI PLIN DE INITIATIVA!

TANAR TALENTAT SI PLIN DE INITIATIVA!

La vârsta la care alții încă se distrează pe banii părinților, un tânăr din Târgu Neamț, harnic si modest, a reușit să pună pe picioare o afacere sănătoasă, la propriu și la figurat. El a mizat pe cătină și pe trendul consumului de produse 100% naturale. A riscat din punct de vedere financiar, și-a sacrificat timpul petrecut cu familia ori cu prietenii, dar e convins că nu a fost în zadar.

Slave dungeon

"I first found out about the slave dungeon at Orange Valley in Antigua during my earliest days in media –it was one of the first features that I did. And subsequently, and briefly, I became part of a committee interested in creating awareness of and preserving the dungeon.

The dungeon is fashioned from a small cave in a rock, it has a single opening, the remains suggesting it was bolted by a heavy door. When we visited for the report and put a barrier across that opening, we found that inside is complete darkness and hard stone, and could imagine the little critters creeping through the crevices. Legend goes that a pregnant slave was once locked there and on giving birth suffered the trauma of her baby being eaten by rats.

There are records of two other known slave dungeons, the Torturer and the Bump Off at Parson Maule’s – I’ve never seen these – but Papa Sammy, an Antiguan working man who told his story to his grandchildren Keithlyn and Fernando Smith so that they would chronicle it, in the spirit of the slave narratives speaks of the Torturer in the non-fiction, post-slavery narrative, a personal and social history "To Shoot Hard Labour": “it still stands and is shaped like an old fashioned pill box with a rounded roof… (it) was so called being very small and dark, with only a small air hole. Massa was able to control the amount of air the slave could breathe according to the gravity of his ‘crime’” he said of the Torturer. Of the other, he said, it no longer exists.

Compared to Nelson’s Dockyard and the various forts, places like the dungeon form part of our selective amnesia when it comes to our enslavement and its lingering impact. You won’t find it in the tourist brochures as you’ll find those places."
