A Short History Of Netball In Nevis Home What is Netball How to Play 2000 Caribbean Championship ... Links By Janette Hull A Nation that encourages sports and gives encouragement to its athletes is enriched in many ways. We make friends through sports. More nations are brought together by sports like cricket, football, athletics, softball, netball and many more. Netball is one of the many games played in Nevis, but not many Nevisians know the role this game has played over the years, nor even how it started. Did you know that netball has put Nevis on the world map? If not, please read on. Netball originated in the United States of America, and was introduced to the Caribbean by Physical education officers from England who came to the Islands on teaching assignments. Althought the game is played in the USA , it is not popular, whereas it is popular in the United Kingdom. Netball in Nevis is without a doubt the outstanding women’s sport. Prior to 1950 Netball was introduced and played by the Excelsior School on the grounds of St Pauls Rectory. An annual competition was held between the Excelsior School of Nevis and the Girls High School from St Kitts. 1939 - 1940 saw a change. Schools no longer exchanged visits, but ex-pupils from the Excelsior School and the Girls High School played matches in both islands with Nevis always winning. 1945 - 1955 teams from the Charlestown Girls School and ex -pupils from the Charlestown Secondary School practiced at Liburd’s Yard (the ground on which the Administration Building now stands).

Young Island The island of Nevis lies in the Caribbean Sea approximately 200 miles southeast of Puerto Rico and is part of the Leeward Islands. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, he named the island Nuestro Senora De Las Nieves, which in Spanish means "Lady of the Snows", because Mount Nevis, which was ringed by clouds, reminded him of the snow-capped peaks of Spain. A small volcanic island, Nevis encompasses about 36 square miles. Mount Nevis, a dormant volcano, rises 3,265 feet from the center of the island and is surrounded by rain forest and a wide variety of tropical vegetation. Cooled by constant trade winds, Nevis enjoys almost-perfect weather year-round, with low humidity and minimal rainfall. Nevis is home to approximately 9,000 residents.

THE DOMINICA OLYMPIC COMMITTEE History The idea of formation of a National Olympic Committee evolved from the existing and functional Dominica Amateur Athletic Association (DAAA) and Dominica Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA). The Dominica Amateur Athletic Association was founded by Oswald B. Savarin and Felix A. Wilson in December 1982 responding to the call for its formation by Stephen Agar and Julius Lewis, two athletes of the Striders Athletics Club. Between late November 1985 and early 1986 a few sporting Associations were invited to the Sixth Form College (as it was called then) to a meeting to explore the formation of an Olympic Committee. Rupert Lake from Antigua gave some guidelines based on his experience and participation as an officer of the Antigua Olympic Committee.

Introduction The Historical Timeline Geological Amerindians Columbus European Colonization Abolition of Slavery Appendices Hurricanes! A Condensed History of Montserrat Compiled by William G. Innanen [With parenthetical comments by the author -Bill] 1690-1700: Militia and defense Background: The continual state of war between England and France continues to spill over into the Caribbean. The next 25 years (1689-1714) marked a series of French attacks against English colonies in the West Indies. [Of course, the English were doing a number on the French colonies, as well. -Bill] On Montserrat, the white peasant farmers, mainly Irish, abandoned their holdings to the large landholders and left the island. [I guess that 1679 law was repealed or ignored. -Bill] With the white peasants leaving the island, the number to serve in the militia wend down. The fact that many of the landowners were absentees reduced the available number of militia officers. St. Kitts was retaken from the French by Governor Codrigton, who then sent the rebellious Irish to Montserrat. [I bet that helped the militia situation! More rebellious Irish. Just what the English on Montserrat needed! -Bill There was a severe regional earthquake in the Leewards. [Epicenter unknown? -Bill]

29. History Of The Meet CUT that sports have a significant role to play in the regional integration process. Twoyears later, in 1994, st. kitts/Nevis played host to the Championships http://www.caribbeanteachers.org/history.htm

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MEET The CUT Track and Field Championships was a result of the CUT’s recognition of the need to provide the young athletes aged 8-15 years with some regional competition. There was also recognition by the CUT that sports have a significant role to play in the regional integration process. These particular Championships would bring together the students and teachers of the Caribbean for a few days of friendly competition camaraderie and co-operation. The Caribbean Union of Teachers Biennial Track and Field Championships was first organized in Barbados in 1986. The participating countries at the inaugural Meet were Anguilla, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and host, Barbados. They competed for the Jean Perisco Trophy. Barbados made capital of the fact that they were at home and won the Championships. The success of the inaugural Meet led to a CUT decision to develop the Championships into a biennial affair. It was also agreed that the Championships would be organized by the Teachers’ Union of the host nation. This extends to the host seeding sponsorship to help meet local expenses. Member Unions desirous of participating are required to meet their respective cost of their teams. This includes airfares.

Challenges to the Plant Health System in St Kitts and Nevis Lilory D. McComie, PhD. Entomologist CARDI St Kitts/Nevis/Montserrat Unit Introduction Increased production of high-valued non-traditional crops such as tropical fruits and vegetables and the development of a viable tourism sector have impacted on trade in agricultural produce in St Kitts and Nevis. Local produce is exported to earn foreign exchange and various commodities are imported regularly to satisfy overall consumption demands. Trade involving the movement of plant material is conducted in a liberalized environment with certain attendant risks, particularly that of accidental introduction of exotic plant pests and diseases. Pest introductions to St Kitts and Nevis Within the last ten to fifteen years, St Kitts and Nevis as the rest of the region have experienced the introduction of a number of new pests and diseases of economic importance. Pest introductions probably far exceeded diseases because of the ease with which insects can be concealed and transported on plant material. Pest introductions included the palm thrips Thrips palmi

History of the RNB HISTORY OF THE REGIONAL NURSING BODY At the First Conference of nursing Administrators of the West Indies held in Barbados in 1959, it was decided that there was a need for a Regional Nursing Body. This decision was taken because it was evident that (i) there existed in all the territories the same problems of recruitment, training and specialization, use of qualified staff, exchange of staff, status of profession and conditions of service, which could not be solved individually, (ii) there was need for an interchange of technical opinion and information that could bring about improvement of nursing services and maintain a high standard of efficiency throughout the Region; and (iii) such a group of technical officers working together would ultimately lead to a permanent organization being established. In order to assist nurses in the Commonwealth Caribbean to move towards the establishment of this Body, the commonwealth Foundation gave its sponsorship a Meeting held in Barbados during April, 1970. At the conclusion of the Meeting, the representatives from twelve territories in the Caribbean resolved that:-

In 1493, Christopher Columbus sighted the island and named it for its eel-like shape: Anguilla means "eel" in Spanish. No attempt was made to colonize it, probably because it was controlled by the notoriously fierce, warlike Caribs, who knew the island as Malliouhana, the Carib word for eel. The Caribs, a tribe of cannibals, had captured the island from the peaceful Arawak tribe and had completely eradicated them, not only from anguuilla but also from the entire Caribbean. Farming was the main occupation of early settlers. English settlers arrived from nearby St. Kitts in 1650, followed by Irish invaders in 1688. Fleeing from Cromwell and religious persecution, they sought and found in Anguilla a faraway British territory in which they could live peacefully. This settlement is today known as Island Harbour. The French then made unsuccessful attempts at invasion in 1745 and 1796. Thereafter, the island was left in peace. Some of the old homes remain in perfect condition, many over 100 years old.

Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project Implemented by the Organization of American States Unit of Sustainable Development and Environment for the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance and the Caribbean Regional Program Sub-regional Seismic Hazard Maps Designing, engineering and building structures to withstand stresses from seismic activity requires a full understanding of the magnitude of these forces in a given location. To this end, CDMP is supporting the Seismic Research Unit (SRU) of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad in the development of country-level seismic hazard maps for the Caribbean. As part of this project, the SRU is producing page-size maps showing ground acceleration, ground velocity and Modified Mercali intensities. Individual maps have been produced for the Leeward Islands, Windward Islands and larger isolated islands (such as Jamaica). This mapping is based on calculations of hazard values for the project area, at a grid resolution of 0.1 degrees. This work is a refinement of a small-scale (regional) iso-acceleration map that was recently produced for Latin America and the Caribbean, through support of the Pan American Institute for Geography and History . Copies of the maps are available through the links below. The SRU continues work on seismic hazard mapping in the region; updated maps are available on the
