The Rotary Club of Liamuiga proudly hosted its 19th Annual Primary School Spelling Bee Competition on Thursday, October 23, 2025, continuing its long-standing commitment to literacy and youth development across St. Kitts and Nevis. The event, held at the Sir Cecil Jacobs Auditorium, brought together some of the island’s brightest young minds in a spirited showcase of spelling skill, confidence, and composure.
The Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance (Amendment) Bill, 2025, were passed unanimously during a sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly on November 06, 2025.

The amendments enhance transparency and ensure company records remain accurate, up to date, and fully compliant with international standards.
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.
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.

The Department of Cultural Heritage continues to address issues raised by cultural practitioners, in this instance, filling the need for more traditional cultural music by facilitating a Cultural Instrument Master Class that began November 01, 2025.
The Master Class will run for seven weeks at the Dr. William Connor Primary School every Saturday until December 20. Participants are being taught how to play the kettle drum by Devon Nisbett and Russle Jarvis, the Bass Drum by Alarick Gumbs and the Fife by Wayne Simmonds.
Wednesday, October 29, 2025 was a day of celebration, togetherness and spontaneity when dozens of residents of the Parish of St. Peter came out to reminisce, recall and regroup at the Cultural Heritage coordinated We Village Dat, the St. Peter’s edition.
The community upbuilding event brought St. Peter’s residents together, passing on the history to younger ones in attendance and fostering a sense of pride in the accomplishments of the community’s nation-builders.
