There are few topics that ignite patriotic passions in our country quite like the issue of land. Whether it’s the sale, development, or ownership of land, discussions surrounding this precious resource never fail to stir emotion across the length and breadth of our twin-island Federation. For many of us, land is not merely property-it is identity, legacy, and belonging. We speak of ‘our navel string being buried here’ because land connects us to our roots in a way nothing else can.
Every year, we go through the motions: tracking systems, preparing homes and listening for official updates. Yet, each storm brings its own unique set of challenges and lessons. Nature has a way of reminding us, sometimes gently and sometimes not, that preparation and vigilance are not seasonal habits but necessary ways of life in the Caribbean.
We often hear the old adage about “saving for a rainy day.” It is a lesson as relevant today as it was for our parents and grandparents, a principle that should be instilled in our little ones from the earliest age. The reality, of course, is that saving is never easy. Financial obligations often weigh heavily, and for many, simply making ends meet leaves little room to build a cushion. Yet, even in these difficult circumstances, the act of putting away just a little- consistently, faithfully, and with focused sacrifice-can yield surprising results. Over time, small efforts accumulate into meaningful support. And when life’s inevitable storms come, it makes all the difference to have something to fall back on because when it rains, it truly does pour.
When we greet each other with the words “Happy Independence” in St. Kitts and Nevis, it is more than a casual phrase. It is a moment rich with meaning - a reminder that as a people we come together, we reflect, and we toast to the occasion that binds us as one nation.
From the smallest ones entering day care and kindergarten, to those transitioning into new grades in primary and secondary school, and even those taking the brave step into tertiary education at home or abroad-this season is more than a ritual of books and pencils. It is a reminder of the tremendous responsibility we bear as a society in shaping the next generation.
Locally, we often make reference to people being humbled when brought before the court despite whatever unruly public display of attitude or personality trait because ‘In dey no like out ya.’
On the subject of crime, especially gun violence, there is always a divide among our people-be it political, personal or otherwise. As our natural human emotions would dictate, there is never a shortage of the collective expressions of sadness, shock, anger, disappointment as well as advice sharing on possible solutions to remedy the situation.

In recent times, what we see unfolding on our streets can hardly be called harmless enjoyment. Children-mostly if not entirely boys-run through communities (with eyewitness reports about the Basseterre area) with Roman candles in hand, pointing them at each other like toy guns, firing live sparks while shouting and laughing as if they were in a game of combat. The thrill and laughter may seem innocent, but there is an undeniable danger lurking behind the smoke and noise. Some have taken the “play” to the roadsides, darting into traffic without care, their excitement blinding them to the very real risk of injury-or worse.
