The Okolo Tegremantine Arts Theater is celebrating 35 years of existence and is marking this milestone by reaching out to various communities to promote the art form.

An official for the group told SKNIS that Master Drummer Dominique Williams from Trinidad and Tobago is in St. Kitts to assist with this initiative. Williams spent this week visiting primary schools, talking to students about his exciting field and the importance of maintaining a rich cultural heritage.

He has also been working with the National Youth Drum Corps as well as the Okolo group, refining their performances.

Mr. Williams indicated that the sessions have been interesting and he is particularly pleased with the enthusiastic response from the young students during school visits. Williams has been drumming for the past 14 years and leads the group Hands of Rhythm in his home country.

Four students from Nevis received scholarships from the Alexander Hamilton Scholarship Fund on Friday January 11, 2007, at a fund raising tea party in the courtyard of the historic Alexander Hamilton Museum.

The students Ms. Iyana Dore and Ms. Shienlka Maynard from the Gingerland Secondary School and Master Keithroy Merchant and Ms. Orecia Parris from the Charlestown Secondary School received their scholarship cheques to cover the 2007/2008 school year from Deputy Premier and Minister for the Department of Community Development which administers the scholarships.

The Minister told the students that funds from the scholarship programme should in many respects uphold the legacy of Alexander Hamilton and by people worldwide a legacy of hard work, discipline and deep individual study.

He said education was the means by which the Nevis Island Administration equipped today’s generation for the many possibilities of tomorrow and the scholarship fund required the recipients to be a cut above the rest and to aim to be the best in school.

Government has uniquely positioned St. Kitts and Nevis to become a major player in the world of sports but locals must be willing to act to make this potential a reality.

This was stressed by President Neville “Teddy” McCook of the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) during a January 08 press conference at the Warner Park cricket stadium.

“You are in an environment where you have facilities that can accommodate four major sports,” said McCook, adding that the completion of the Bird Rock athletic stadium will expand that number to five. “What you need is the leadership of these individual [sport associations] to start looking to see how they can utilize these facilities.”
