Cuban”“trained medical practitioner, Dr. Norgen Wilson declared Saturday he will not allow the confines of the walls of the clinic to limit his service to the people of Sandy Point.

“I stand before you as a true Sandy Pointer, born in this community, raised in this community, schooled in this community and then went to Cuba to be trained because it was necessary and I came back and am now working in this community,” said Wilson, prior to the official opening of his Constituency #5 Office at Mount Idle, Sandy Point.

Former Minister of National Security, Immigration and Labour, Hon. Dwyer Astaphan has been praised for his outstanding service as a Cabinet Minister for the past 13 years.

“I am certain that the entire nation would join with me in thanking Minister Astaphan for his outstanding service and for the diligence, passion, commitment and capacity for hard work that he amply demonstrated during his 13-year period in office,” said Prime Minister Douglas in an address to the nation on Friday morning.

The Hon. Dwyer Astaphan came to office in 1995 as part of a new Labour Administration, at a critical juncture in the history when St. Kitts and Nevis was in dire need of leadership, direction and social change.

“He brought his own unique and effective style to bear on the many developmental challenges faced by our nation during his tenure in office, and this contributed in a significant way to many of the achievements of the very competent and successful team of Ministers, policy-makers and administrators that I lead as Prime Minister of our proud nation,” said Prime Minister Douglas.

Labour Women ““ the women’s arm of the St. Kitts – Nevis Labour Party has honoured the party’s first female candidate ““ Nevisian-born businesswoman, Mrs. Ermine Queeley-Evelyn.

St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister and National Political Leader of the governing St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party, the Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, presented the Leadership Award to Mrs. Queeley-Evelyn during the Labour Women Conference at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort and Royal Beach Casino.

Mrs. Queeley-Liburd, the Labour Party’s candidate in the Nevis Local Elections in 1979 and the National Elections in 1980, was honoured for her “outstanding leadership in Politics and Business. For your courage and your pioneering spirit and for your being a good role model for the women of St. Kitts and Nevis.”

In accepting the award, Mrs. Queeley-Evelyn thanked Labour Women for the recognition and urged women of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party to work hard to achieve their goals.

Unmarried in 1979, Ermine Queeley was the lone female candidate for the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party when she contested the local elections and the 18th February 1980 General Elections. She ran on the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party ticket for the Gingerland seat in Nevis which was against Mr. Simeon Daniel of the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP).

Born in New Castle, Nevis, Ermine is the first child of the late Elmond Queeley and Rosanel Queeley, both of Newcastle. She attended the Combermere School, and at an early age demonstrated a passion for business when she started, with the help of her mother, to make and sell coconut drops and frozen-joys to her classmates, teachers and others around the community. Her entrepreneurial spirit was encouraged by her father, himself a businessman, when he sent her abroad, at a very early age to gain more into the field business.
