Charlestown, Nevis, September 11, 2025 (NCCU Communications) -- In a poignant moment for members of credit unions in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, the Nevis Co-operative Credit Union Limited and a distinguished son of the soil, Mr Melvin Edwards (CSM), were on Monday June 23 this year inducted into the Caribbean Confederation of Credit Unions (CCCU) Digital Hall of Fame.
As is the tradition, a ceremony featuring military honours by the St. Kitts and Nevis Defence Force and the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force will be held at the National Heroes Park at Conaree. The ceremony begins at 8 a.m. and will feature a short programme that concludes with the laying of wreaths at the base of the four statues featured – The late Right Excellencies Sir Robert Bradshaw, Sir C. A. Paul Southwell, Sir Joseph France, and Sir Simeon Daniel. Recognition and special presentation to the only living National Hero, the Right Excellent and the Right Honourable Dr. Sir Kennedy Simmonds will also take place.
While Mother’s Day often brings a natural outpouring of love and celebration, Father’s Day unfortunately tends to be met with less enthusiasm and recognition. This disparity is often chalked up to the presence of absent or neglectful fathers-those ‘bad apples’ who have, regrettably, cast a shadow over the entire barrel. But it is neither fair nor wise to let a few unfortunate examples overshadow the countless men who show up every single day with love, patience, sacrifice, and strength for their children.
Most recently with the government’s approach in treating crime and violence from a public health stance, communities, law enforcement, social groups and policy leaders have made concerted efforts to reduce violent crime. The visible reduction in murders, especially those involving firearms, has given many citizens a sense of cautious optimism-hope that the cycle of grief and trauma is being broken. Yet, the news this week underscores the fragility of that hope and the unpredictable nature of human behaviour.
Labour Day, May Day, Workers’ Day-three names, one purpose: to honour the contributions, struggles, and resilience of the working-class. On Monday 5th May 2025, the people of St. Kitts witnessed three separate commemorations of this international observance, led by the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), the People’s Action Movement (PAM), and the People’s Labour Party (PLP).
Over this past Easter, as families gathered to partake in what has become a culinary staple of the season-saltfish with ground provisions, coconut dumpling, and a refreshing drink-many may not have paused to reflect on the deeper meaning behind the meal.
Lent is more than a ceremonious routine or a religious tradition; it is an invitation into a lifestyle marked by self-control, humility, and deeper communion with God. The decision to give up social media, to fast from meat, or to carve out quiet time for prayer is not simply ritualistic-it is an act of intentional realignment, where our spiritual compass points away from the noise of the world and toward the presence of the Creator.
It is not only a question for the courts. It is a question for every household, every policymaker, every teacher, every neighbour, every man and woman. We often speak about crime prevention with children, encouraging them to “count to three,” to “walk away,” to “breathe before reacting.” These are valuable lessons that aim to instil emotional intelligence and self-control. But what are we doing to ensure those lessons stick into adulthood? Who is teaching mature adults to manage conflict, to seek help, to de-escalate, to feel their pain without transferring it violently onto someone else?
Change is often met with resistance. It is human nature to feel inconvenienced when accustomed habits are disrupted, even when the change is for the greater good. The government has taken a bold and necessary step by phasing out single-use plastic bags with a ban on the sale and distribution of such, a move aimed at fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. While some may grumble at the adjustment, it is imperative that we, as responsible citizens and residents, understand the long-term benefits and embrace the responsibility entrusted to us.
When a young person dies, society often pauses, if only briefly, to mourn the unfairness of it all. The loss of someone so young is particularly jarring because it reminds us of life’s fragile nature. But beyond the shock and sorrow, beyond the outpouring of grief on social media, do we ever truly learn? Or do we allow the cycle to continue, only to repeat the same conversations when the next tragedy strikes?
As a society, whenever a child is placed in danger, something within us is shaken to the core. We collectively grieve, we feel an unbearable sadness and we are left grappling with the unthinkable.
The recent tragedy surrounding the kidnapping and murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump in Antigua has sent shockwaves through the island and reverberated across the region, igniting outrage, sorrow and disbelief.
Why don’t we make it a public display habit to applaud positive observations on the topic of crime and violence. Time and again, we have witnessed how sensationalized the topic becomes when crime is a concern. People from all walks of life chime in with concerns about social ills and safety, while political narratives often turn crime into a tool for partisan attacks. When crime surges, call-in radio programmes and social media platforms are flooded with outrage.
