On one evening each year for nearly a half century, a St. John tradition fills the island with a bit more glitz, glamour and poise than any other night.
This year, the Festival and Cultural Organization of St. John will crown its 50th queen — giving one deserving young woman the title of Miss St. John after its sure-to-be riveting selection pageant slated for 8 p.m. Saturday, June 26, at the Winston Wells ball park.
“The first queen was elected in 1960 so this is actually the 50th queen we will be electing this year,” said Enid Doway, pageants committee chairperson.
Elsie Thomas-Trotman became the first Miss St. John in 1960, and four promising young ladies are vying to be Festival 2010’s queen.
Jah Vena Q. Nisbett of St. Thomas, a 20-year-old sophomore enrolled in the American Military University’s distance learning program, is the daughter of Karen Nisbett; Shante Monsanto-Weeks of St. Thomas, a 17-year-old soon-to-be senior at Antilles Private School, is the daughter of Phylis Jones-Monsanto and Darryl Weeks; Abigail Hyndman, a 20-year-old third year student at Xavier University of Louisiana, is the daughter of Cheryl and Elias Willie and Iran Hyndman, and Nanyamka A. Cagan of St. John, a 19-year-old recent graduate of Ivanna Eudora Kean High School, is the daughter of Abigail Hendricks and Brice Cagan.

South Shore Road was flooded at the waste water treatment plant across from The Marketplace on Sunday afternoon, June 20. Bands of heavy rain started late Saturday night and continued throughout the day. Island guts were overflowing as the rain water rolled off saturated hillsides. |

St. John residents Karin and Bob Schlesinger.
While most Love City residents know St. John is one of the best islands to live on, Islands Magazine has made it official and spent a day with two relocated New Englanders to prove it to the world.
Karin and Bob Schlesinger have called St. John home since moving to the island from Massachusetts 13 years ago. While the two have accomplished quite a bit, including running their own successful photography business Tropical Focus, the Islands Magazine story is their first glossy magazine spread.
Islands Magazine profiled the Schlesingers as part of its “Best Islands to Live On” spread in the July/August 2010 issue which features transplanted residents living on each of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands.
“Your Caribbean dream life has never been easier than in the USVI. What are you waiting for?” is the tantalizing headline of the 11-page feature which introduces Corby Parfitt and his family, originally from San Francisco, who moved to St. Thomas to enjoy a “more adventurous life.”

The Friday/Saturday/Sunday, July 16-18, 2010 edition of USA Today reported on the Monday, July12th Coki Beach murder of a 14-year-old cruise ship passenger who arrived on St. Thomas with her family aboard Carnival Victory.
"This week's gang-related shooting of a 14-year-old cruise passenger on tour in St. Thomas — an act the U.S. Virgin Islands' congressional delegate called part of a"plague of violence" — is the latest in a string of bad news for the tourism-dependent Caribbean," states the article. "Passenger Lizmarie Perez Chapparro was killed on Monday near popular Coki Point Beach as she rode with her family on a "safari bus" that ferries tourists across the island. The girl and her family had arrived in St. Thomas earlier in the day aboard Carnival Victory, which sails out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Another cruise ship passenger sustained a minor injury during the shootout, and a local man also was killed."
