Carlisle Powell along with Operations Manager at the Nevis Water Department Mr. George Morris visited two newly discovered water sites on Nevis to analyse their status.

Premier Parry, who registered his satisfaction with the progress and commended those involved in the project.

“I congratulate the minister and the ministry and Bedrock Exploration and Development Technologies (BEAD) for working so seriously and so hard.  They have identified a well that is producing 500, 000 gallons of water per day and that water will be in the Maddens reservoir to be distributed around the island of Nevis.”

“I am proud of the government and the people I have elected, even though I am part of it and head of it.  We have demonstrated once again that we are keeping our promises and that our people come first,” Mr. Parry said.

The wells at Maddens in St. James’ Parish and Business Ghaut in St. George’s Parish were two of the more successful wells that have been discovered on the island since BEAD commenced deep drilling for additional water on the island.

“This area will be producing the most water in Nevis when we add this well to the other well that is there,” said Mr. Parry on site at the well in Maddens.

Residents of St. Paul’s were the first to benefit from a community outreach programme initiated by the Department of Culture.

“In evaluating our programme of activities, we found out that we were not reaching a [desired] cross section of the community,” Director of Culture Creighton Pencheon explained on this week’s edition of the radio magazine Perspectives. “There was a need for us to extend some of our programmes beyond the normal working hours and [branch out more] in the field in order to reach more people. We are hoping that in so doing we will serve to inspire young people to harness the skills of the performing arts.”

He added that this was a good way to decentralize activities from the capital, Basseterre, and give rural children an opportunity to see and learn from the veteran performers.

During the interview with SKNIS, Mr. Pencheon explained that dancers and drummers from the Okolo Tegremantine Arts Theater accompanied himself and staff members including Dance Specialist Lorna “˜Ava’ Henry, Drumming Specialist Royd Phipps and Music Specialist Nigel Williams to the session at the St. Paul’s Primary School. He said the young students showed a keen interest in learning the art form.

“It was quite a success. We had a nice interactive session,” he stated.  “The dancers took the students through various dance routines and they had a wonderful time.”
