MAKE EMANCIPATION A REALITY OF FREEDOM, EQUALITY AND JUSTICE REGARDLESS OF RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURE.

 Today is Emancipation Day – a day when St Lucians, in particular, African St Lucians, observe the ending of chattel slavery and the dawn of freedom from servitude. Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd takes the opportunity to salute our African St Lucian brothers and sisters as they celebrate with the rest of St Lucia what is easily the most important day on their calendar and by extension the St Lucian calendar.

August 1, 1834, marked the end of slavery in the Caribbean and in some countries, August 1 is observed as a national holiday. All across the Caribbean— in St Lucia Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Dominica, Grenada, and all the islands — there will be tributes to our ancestors, church services, and street processions to observe the end of this very dark period in our history.

August 1, 2034, marks 185 years since the proclamation of full freedom for Africans in the British colonies.  Emancipation Day is a way for people of African descent in the Caribbean to remind them of the struggle for freedom.

It was not until 1834 that slavery was actually abolished in Saint Lucia. Even after slavery was officially abolished, all former slaves had to serve a four-year ‘apprenticeship’ which forced them to work for free for their former slave masters for at least three-quarters of the work week, meaning final freedom did not come until 1838. Full freedom for enslaved Africans in St Lucia was not achieved until August 1, 1838.

Emancipation Day was first "established," after the British Parliament passed the Slave Emancipation Act in 1833 banning its policy of enslaving and transporting Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean islands.

On August 28, 1833, the bill for the abolition of slavery in the British dominions received royal assent. It stated:

•  Be it enacted, that all and every one of the persons who on the first day of August one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, shall be holden in slavery within such British colony as aforesaid, shall, upon and from and after the said first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, become and be to all intents and purposes free and discharged from all manner of slavery, and shall be absolutely and forever manumitted.

The passage of this bill in the British Parliament in England led to the emancipation of slavery in all British colonies, including St Lucia, on August 1, 1834.

The bill's passage immediately transformed thousands of enslaved Africans who were six years and older into apprentices with the intention of manumission in 1838 for former household enslaved Africans and in 1840 for those who worked in the field. All children six years and under were to be made free immediately.

In 1997, the then government introduced Emancipation Day as a public holiday - It had been recognized on the first Monday in August. The introduction of Emancipation Day as a holiday provides the opportunity for us to reflect on the journey of our ancestors in their struggle for freedom.  As Bob Marley sings, "If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from". An understanding of our past and the experiences of our ancestors is important as we continue to build our country.

Not much has changed in the lives of the children of the slaves since Emancipation from our 300-year-long nightmare. We keep the hope that we can completely free ourselves of the shackles that were once on our feet. 

Today, Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd joins our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean in remembering the pain of slavery, vowing that no one will ever put us in chains again. We keep the hope for a better future for our children.

As we celebrate another Emancipation anniversary, let us as a nation redouble our efforts to wipe away the blood and tears of slavery and make Emancipation a reality of Freedom, Equality, and Justice for the sons and daughters of the enslaved and for all St Lucians regardless of race, ethnicity, and culture.

THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF OF RAYNEAU GROUP OF COMPANIES LTD WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY ON THIS AUGUST 1, 2023, TO WISH ALL ST LUCIANS, BOTH HERE AND IN THE DIASPORA A HAPPY EMANCIPATION DAY.

HOW TO GET YOUR BUILDING MATERIALS SALES TEAM TO START SELLING CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY NEED NOT JUST WHAT THEY WANT?

Ready-mix concrete, grout, and other construction materials are easy to sell. Customers walk into your store with those needs specifically in mind. In fact, it might not be difficult to convince them to buy an extra bag or two. After the counter sales staff throws in a free hand tool and plastic measuring cup, your customer walks out with exactly what they came in for. But therein lies the problem. Your customer walked out with exactly what they knew they needed. But what about what they didn’t know they needed?

How do you get your staff to start selling customers what they need, not just what they want? In this article, we highlight some practical applications for you and your staff to sell products that increase customer productivity and in turn get them to come back with requests for more great products.

1. Cross-selling and Up-selling.

There are customers who walk in and know exactly what they want and even where it’s located in the store. That’s an easy sale. But no employee should give a customer the minimum experience. Suggestive selling or cross-selling is a sales technique where an employee asks a customer if they would like to include an additional purchase or recommends a product. Upselling is a sales strategy that involves encouraging customers to buy a higher-end version of a product than what they originally intended to purchase. And all your employee has to do is ask a simple question. Instead of asking what material they need, ask instead about the project.

For example, let’s say a customer walks in and asks to purchase a skid load of concrete. After a polite greeting, your employee should immediately follow up with

“Sure thing! What are you working on?”

That initial question is all it takes to begin to understand your customer’s needs. Let’s say they’re building a retaining wall. Your employee could follow up with another question asking the purpose of the wall and then offer a specific brand of concrete that’s more expensive. For example:

“What kind of wall are you building? Oh, a retaining wall? We sell a lot of “this” brand for that particular project. Would you like to purchase this instead? Have you tried this kind?”

From there, another question could lead to an additional sale like;

“How are you planning on mixing this? Do you need any buckets? We carry a great mixer that has the perfect paddle attachment for this amount of concrete."

This interaction leads to more than just a bigger sale….

2. The guidebook says.

Your counter sales rep may not know as much as the pro contractor that just walked in. But, they can still enhance the customer’s shopping experience by offering thoughtful services and asking intuitive questions. Services like providing a pre-printed list of needs for the job. 

Imagine that a customer comes in for tile materials and is immediately handed a list of required supplies, tools, and what aisles they are located in. What if that list even had suggested measurements and amounts for various job sizes? Again, starting with asking simple questions, your employee could quickly reference a pre-printed complimentary guidebook that your store provides. This guidebook could be kept behind the service desk for easy access by your employees for situations just like this as a reference listing everything their customer needs. Here’s an example:

“Looks like an additive is needed for your compound. Would you like me to show you some mixing paddles for that material?”

Or even offering specific tools that help with the job

“That’s a lot of water you will need to mix. We sell a water dosing device by Collomix that could help get it done faster.”

3. Everything you need.

Your counter sales staff may be learning on the job. As they observe, have them take note of products customers are buying for specific jobs. What tools and supplies are purchased for tile work or self-leveling or framing? From this observation, your staff can create a list of these products that they can refer to not only when assisting customers, but actually hand the list out when customers come in.

Again, start with some easy questions like:

“So, what project are you working on? You’re self-leveling a floor? Here, this could help. We’ve created a list of all the products recommended for a job like that. Can I grab any of these for you?”

You probably aren’t able to train all your employees on every material compound your company sells and how to mix and apply it. But providing an access guide for your customers and employees is easy to do and is impressive. There are many situations where a guide could be utilized from concrete repair, to grout sealing, to concrete glazing.

All these suggestive selling techniques show the customer that you are committed to their success and will do whatever it takes to get them what they need. Even though your employee may not be an expert, studies show that salespeople who are educated about their products sell up to 123% more than others with no training. Could your employee direct them to a specific type of tool? Yes! And without high-pressure sales either. While the general point is yes, to sell more, the overall effect will be beneficial to more than just the bottom line.

HYUNDAI EXCAVATORS OFFER AN IMPROVED OPERATING EXPERIENCE WITH CAB COMFORT

Most heavy equipment operators work long, hard, 10-hour days. Keeping your operators happy and comfortable is important to help eliminate downtime. Hyundai’s HX Excavator series offers you an improved operating experience with cab comforts that are better than ever. Hyundai engineers were heavily influenced in the design of the HX excavator cab by the comfort and technology found in modern luxury cars.

The big thing is the cab has a lot of space. You can’t not like this cab.

“The HX Series excavator cabs are 13 percent larger than those found on the 9A Series, while the HL wheel loaders are 10 percent larger. The entire structure of the cabs has changed with both being ROPS and FOG 1/2. Beyond the added comfort and safety of these changes, the new cab design gives us more space and an improved flat glass front design on the HX machines for better visibility,” Corey says.

Quieter Cab

Additional sound insulation, new viscous spring cab mounts, and a quieter electronic fan clutch reduce in-cab sound levels by as much as 4 dBA as compared to previous models.

Auto Engine Shutdown

When the machine idles for a programmable time frame in minutes, the engine will automatically shut down to save the operator on fuel. This is often the case when the operator leaves the cab and forgets to turn off the machine which can burn excessive fuel – another amenity found in the HX series cab.

Improved A/C

Cabs now include 9 vents (2 that can be adjusted for face.)

Flat Front Upper and Lower Glass

Flat glass for improved visibility eliminates any kind of distortion that you would have with curved glass.

Advanced 8″ Touchscreen Monitor

Integrated Switches:

• Adjustable for optimal visibility - The monitor can be adjusted vertically up to 30″ and horizontally up to 8″.
• Real-time monitoring of critical machine operation data and fuel consumption data, plus easy access to operator-settable functions.
• Smart Terminal*– Miracast system- via WiFi, this system mirrors the screen on the operator’s smart device for added convenience.
• Inclinometer - Provides machine-level info for additional safety operator assistance.
• Attachment Control - Flow and relief pressures can be adjusted for single or double-acting attachments.

Haptic Control

Jog shuttle-type, controller operates all major functions. Haptic control is common in luxury automobiles and provides additional convenience to the operator.

Improved Joystick Console Adjustment

Control consoles slide forward – up or downward and back, according to the direction of the ratchet-style crank.

Bluetooth Radio

Bluetooth radio includes a mp3 port and hands-free phone functions.

13% More Floor Space

For added comfort, the HX Excavator Series has 13% more floor space than the previous 9A series.

Smart Key (option)

Smart keys are now optional for a push button keyless start with key fob.

8-Way Adjustable Air Ride Heated Seat

For enhanced operator productivity, the cab features a heated air-ride seat that can be fully customized to each operator’s preference.

Convenient Cab Storage

Convenient cab storage includes a large cup holder and storage tray, large luggage space with a net, hot and cool box, small cup holder and cigarette lighter, and sunglass case.

Section of SVG Police Youth Club leaving VF Terminal

It is not very often that a company would go all out to lend support on such a massive scale to a non-local group. Well the CEO of Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd, Mr Rayneau Gajadhar, did just that! He directed his company to provide transportation for luggage and over 300 campers of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Youth Club which arrived at the Vieux Fort docks via Jet Star on Monday July 17, 2023.

Pics of arrival

It was a massive logistical operation which involved a wide range of coordination. Over 20 vehicles many bearing the Rayneau logo as well as coasters from the Vieux Fort Taxi Association were used to make the trip to the Choiseul Secondary School where the campers would be staying for the next two weeks.

In terms of the preparedness put in place by Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd., the Youth Minister who was already on the ground had this to say, “I am telling you that what I am seeing here in terms of coordinating, logistics, is simply amazing.” (See video below) 

The Minister, who considers Mr Gajadhar as his good friend, says the former is well known in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. He went on the thank Mr Gajadhar for all the work he put in place to make the visit by the Police Youth Club a reality. “Thank you personally, as the Minister of Youth for helping us with this camp in Saint Lucia, We really appreciate it. You know our youngsters are our future……”

7 DIY HOME PROJECTS TO ATTEMPT THIS PRE-EMANCIPATION DAY WEEKEND

The Pre-Emancipation Day, weekend is approaching and it’s a great opportunity to sit down, by yourself or with your kids, and work on a project. Not every weekend is meant for outdoor adventures and late nights out with your friends. If you're thinking of staying home this coming weekend and having a little bit of "me time," try one of these easy DIYs to keep you entertained.

These 7 improvements may not cost a lot, but they'll make a big difference in how your home functions. Try one or more of these projects this weekend to make your home look and feel its best.

Spice up a Piece of Furniture

Breathe new life into an old piece of furniture with a fresh coat of paint. For wood pieces, remove dirt or wax buildup with a household cleaner and rinse. Sand rough areas and wipe away dust. Apply two coats of stain-blocking primer and allow it to dry between coats. Roll or brush on two coats of latex paint in the direction of the wood grain, and use a brush to finish the surface with smooth strokes.
Needed: Paint or varnish and painting accessories

Build a Charging Station

Floating shelves are a great way to get more storage for your buck and can be tucked just about anywhere – wires permitting. Construct a mini charging station for your family's devices with this simple, inexpensive hack. Cut small slits in a basic ledge shelf to enable cords to run behind and inside the hollow shelf before being plugged in below. Mount the station to the wall to keep countertops clutter-free.
Needed: 3/4 Plain Ply, nails

Mend Your Walkway

Cracks and gaps in sidewalks and walkways can quickly expand throughout the year. Not only will a patch job make your pathway look nice, it will also make it safer for visitors and passersby. Fix your sidewalk with a patching compound specifically made for cement.
Needed: Rayneau bagged products, cement

Streamline Under the Sink

Ease cleanup and eliminate the clutter of freestanding bottles with an over-the-door wire organizer. This slim solution maximizes under-sink space while keeping kitchen essentials within easy reach.
Needed: rack, wire, hooks, etc.

Restore an Old Dining Table
There’s no easier way to update a tired dining table than to cover it with a bright and cheerful oilcloth. It’s also a practical and easy-to-clean option for busy families, whether you’re using the table for dinner or homework time. Take a piece of oilcloth and cut it to the size of your tabletop, leaving a few centimeters of overhang on each side. Use a staple gun to attach the oilcloth under the table edges, pulling it taut as you go. 
Needed: Oil cloth, paint or varnish.

Paint an accent wall
For a low-cost, high-impact update, grab a tin of paint in a striking colour and turn a plain wall into a show-stopping, statement wall that’ll never be overlooked again. Use painter’s tape to keep your ceilings and doors smudge-free.
Needed: Paint from our paint department

Designate a Drop Spot

Can you recall the number of times you have misplaced your car keys at home? You can stop this now if you only enhance the style and storage of your entryway with a designated place for important drop-zone items. Create a mini hang-up station for house keys on the back of a cabinet door. Use magnetic strips, Peg-Board, or an old ceiling tin and add hooks to store items in one convenient location near the door.
Needed: key hooks, flat piece of board

       HAPPY EMANCIPATION DAY !!!

RAYNEAU GIVES SUPPORT TO FIRST EVER SVG/SLU REGIONAL POLICE YOUTH GROUPS' CAMP

Mr Gajadhar poses for a photo with officials and campers

The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Police Youth Clubs (PYC) which was founded in 2001 began a two-week summer camp program under the guidance of  Sergeant Stephen Billy, the National Police Youth Club Coordinator, at the Choiseul Secondary School from Monday July 17, 2023. The club comprises about 31 groups or 340 members strong, (children and adults). 

Members of the Rising Stars Youth Group of the Royal St Lucia Police Force are also part of this summer  camp. The coordinating team expresses its gratitude to Officer James and other officers of the Royal St Lucia Police Force whose assistance was of tremendous value.

The St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Youth Club caters to children eight years old to seventeen, sergeant Billy said.  He went on to say that when members reach 18, they are considered associate members and most of the time become involved in a leadership role to help assist, manage and coordinate.

The objective of the police youth club is to provide children with the required life skills in order to help mold them into well-rounded persons. Sergeant Billy remarked, “Nurturing Our Nation’s Most Valuable Resources.” In addition, the club aims -

Sergeant Stephen Billy

• To foster good relationships between  the St Vincent and the Grenadines and St Lucia Police.
• To bridge the gap between the community and the police.  
• To build on regional integration among police youth groups.

According to Sergeant Billy, Mr. Rayneau Gajadhar, CEO of Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd, has been very instrumental in assisting with the camping logistics.  Through Mr. Gajadhar’s connection in St Vincent and the Grenadines, the Police Youth Club ably, directed by the Minister of Youth Hon. Orando Brewster was able to link up with Mr. Gajadhar.

To give a clearer picture of Mr. Gajadhar’s support, Sergeant Billy  puts it like this, “When we were looking to come to St Lucia we were looking for persons who could sponsor us or assist, because transportation in St Lucia is pretty expensive, so we wanted to find somebody on the ground in St Lucia who might be willing to work with the youths plus discuss the moving of the campers, firstly  from the wharf to the campsite and we are hoping as well  to have some tours so that instead of only being confined to that area they can see more of St Lucia.”

Campers at Choiseul Secondary School Yard

The National Police Youth Club Coordinator, continued, “So since we recognized that his [Mr. Gajadhar's] company operates out of St Vincent as well, we decided to approach him. And through the Minister of Youth, Hon. Orlando Brewster, we were able to make this contact. So begins a partnership between the Police Youth Club and Mr. Rayneau.  …….some of his own transportation, especially the pick-ups was used to carry the luggage and he also agreed to pay the cost for the coasters.”

The Police Youth club is also in negotiations with Mr. Gajadhar for transportation assistance for a Castries and Sulphur springs tour this week. Two of Rayneau vehicles are on the campsite to be used by the Police Youth Club officials in case of emergency purposes and  for other daily routine necessities.

SLU Inspector and Rayneau

     Mr. Gajadhar is pleased to be able to lend support to the St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Youth Club. He is of the firm belief that our youth is the future. Mr. Gajadhar is also of the opinion that Saint Lucians and Vincentians both at home and abroad, as well as businesses, churches, and other community groups and organizations, should join with the RSVGPF and RSLPF in shaping our youth into law-abiding, wholesome, productive, and discipline citizens.

During the two-week stay the campers will partake in many extra curricula activities, personal development activities, self-discipline, conflict resolution, self-esteem, proper hygiene, life skills, etc. 

The Coordinator was very eloquent in his remarks thanking Mr Gajadhar and Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd. “We want to say thank you, to thank him for what he has done so far, especially for the transportation. He left two vehicles at our disposal for our day-to-day management of camp.  ……these two vehicles that were left at the camp we are so much appreciative. We are also very appreciative of the fact that he would willingly help us with our transportation from Vieux Fort to Choiseul. We are looking forward to a continued partnership with him.”

    He went on to say, “I am hoping that he will be  willing, after we leave Saint Lucia to continue working along with us to mold and nurture our nations’ youths, seeing he’s part and parcel of this community now through his business ventures. We are willing to come back at any time, if he needs us, I don’t mean the children, I mean the coordinators, to assist in any way if he decides to revive and work on their police youth club development to rebuild it to be a vibrant one.  We are always there!”

    The coordinator looks forward to a close relationship and partnership with Mr. Gajadhar in the years to come, so our youths he says can be better equipped to assist young people when they are in need. “We want to say thank you and we are very appreciative of his efforts so far and look forward to his continued support.” He concluded.

    At the end of the two-week camp the Coordinator mentioned a banquet will be held for the campers. This banquet usually takes place on the last day of camp, but due to the unique circumstances in St Lucia the activity will be held on Saturday July 2, 2023.  During the ceremony, speeches will be made and prizes will be awarded to outstanding campers. 

     

A BASIC ARSENAL OF POWER TOOLS EACH HOMEOWNER SHOULD HAVE

Owning a home means maintaining a home. In order to do so properly, there is a basic arsenal of power tools that each homeowner should have at their disposal. If space is an issue, a homeowner should choose tools that are multifaceted, making the most effective use of the workshop storage space. As money, room, and needs allow, the homeowner can easily purchase more tools at a later time for those more specialized jobs.

There is still a lot of debate over which is the best choice: corded or cordless power tools. For most homeowners, quality cordless tools make the most sense. With the advancements in battery technology, a good quality cordless power tool will have ample battery power to last through most home projects. Plus, there are no cords to get in the way, fray, or crack. They are also lightweight and less cumbersome to handle over an extended period of time. Often, cordless power tools come in kits, which offer savings and can encompass most of your power tool needs in one easy-to-store package.

Which tools are the most versatile? Below we list some of your top choices:

• Flashlights are often included in kits. They are powerful, use the same battery pack as the rest of your tools, and can come in handy for nearly every project and more.
• Drill/drivers are extremely versatile. For extended drilling, corded power drills can be more effective (more powerful), but for most homeowners, a cordless drill will suffice. 
• A circular saw is an important part of a basic power tool collection. While it may not be able to accomplish as much as a table saw, a quality circular saw, when used with a clamped-on straight edge, can be almost as accurate.
• A jigsaw is another versatile tool. It is to a band saw, what a circular saw is to a table saw. Not only are jigsaws handy for cutting curved and circular patterns into wood, but you’ll also find that they are handy for cutting out holes in those hard-to-reach places. 
• Handheld orbital sanders can make a big job seem easy. If you’ve ever tried to take on a big sanding project by hand, you know how quickly fatigue can set in. 
• Any homeowner that enjoys building things out of wood will certainly see the advantages of owning a nail gun. They can be used for many different woodworking projects such as installing molding, building furniture, or repairing furniture.
• As your needs grow, you’ll learn that a compound miter saw can become an indispensable part of your collection. For anybody working on molding, these are a must for getting the job done quickly and accurately.

While there are a huge amount of other power tools that can be added to your collection, the above should fit most homeowners’ needs. They can be used in most home improvement projects as well as small repairs and do not take up a lot of space in your garage or workshop. If you have any questions about power tools, and which could best suit your needs, feel free to stop in and ask. Also, if you are adding to your tool collection and need some innovative ways to properly store them, we can help you with that too.

New for the A-series, you can also add a secondary monitory dedicated to the rear-view camera or AAVM system. This secondary monitor also supports radar, giving you a sensor on the rear of the machine that senses objects that might not be as visible on the screen.
