Congratulations teacher June. This is an award well deserved.
Congratulations Miss Webb you deserved it all the way. God bless you miss Webb and we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You blue milli bugs does real sicken people eh…..
With all the activities going on is there will there be any wild life left after this WCF & Independence?
There is little to no commonsense left on island it seems with SKRIT as P>M Savarin as President naming a LOW WAY after a President who just failed to show up as a lawman allowing corruption to solidiify right in his presence.
All kind of strange ideas from the crazy pop like ej Curtis Mathew for whatever lol are you guys crazy and want to penalize my not so good friend the Novice politician as the LINO group calls him for talking 1/2 to a dozen crab backs to a family friend give me a break DA are we for real or what? I hope am dreaming this is not the Country I was born in lol tickle me somebody tell me it’s just a dream.
congrats bro, from your brother, daddy nied is certainly happy about you.big up
Congratulations Cyril James – so many years of dedicated and reliable service. Thank you
Julius darroux??? Wat he do nuh… all he was was chairman of laplaine village council.. lmfao….i guess its just politics….
Dr paul deserves his award for sure…don leogal… umm i find those flowers a bit too early…
Ms Jean Joseph for her work in the Diaspora and promoting Dominica….HMMMMM that just BS!!! Jean Joseph and Loreen Bannis are in cohorts to falsely mis-represent themselves for awards all over the place, I hope all those forged awards she keeps getting by kissing politicians behinds will save her from the judgement of GOD. If there was ever a person so non-deserving is this woman, doing her thing for self praise and glorification, and then getting public praise, but it will end one day.
congrats to Miss June Joseph of Wesley for over 35 years ,educating our little ones ,go for it my dear!!!!!!.and may God bless you ,my friend.
Congratulations to Darnley Guye on his award. With all the years and hard work and sleepless night with little pay, putting in those costumes. It was long overdue.
Congratulations going out to all the awards for your service to your people and Dominica. THANK YOU
Congratulations to all the awardees especially Ms. Juliana Commodore or Nurse Commodore as she is affectionately known. She ha s given her best, she has given her all, we remember you as one of the most loving, caring person in our community. thanks for taking care of our families cause to you it was more than a job. Many of our present-day nurses need to take a page from your book

Darnley Guye, I wish I could be there to carry that medal to you. Very well deserved to a man who works tirelessly year after year to ensure that carnival patrons are totally satisfied. (I know you have been retiring for about 10 years now!! Hold on my brother)
Congratulations to all the recipients. You have made us proud! Thanks for your service.
wow congrats Jeffrey Charles you started with truck transporting people to Roseau one of the best respectful dedicated smooth bus drivers on the island you deserve It big time
congrats morris cyrille….I remember the days we worked at the star newspaper as type setters…..
We are not politically mature enough as a nation to stand against the DLP bully machine. They gave themselves a big wage increase, and offered 0% for civil servants. What a shame eh.
However, his supporters want him in power for the next 50 years, while the people of the West African country, Burkina Faso, are demonstrating, burning, and looting, demanding their leader step down after 27 yrs. and want to tinker with the constitution to enable him to stay in power longer.
What is your point? Are you trying to say that these people do not deserve awards?
What are you signyfying
de opposition accepted the increase too
Loug! these peop[e are too crazy herefor that to happen the good citizens are protecting their little loot by supporting the Pirates on DA.
Lol We eeven got to use our island for filming the Movie Pirates of the Caribbean is this a co-incidence causality, or what? It is often said art imitates life and viceversa.
congratulations to the awardees
If I know D’cans well , them man will still show up .
Can someone tell me what public and community achievements Anne Timothy accomplished please?
Ann Timothy have and is still contributing to the welfare of the people of Dominica she doesn’t do it with a fan fair. One of the functioning Dominican organization in New Jersey is a brain child of her’s she supplies the different hospitals and clinics around Dominica with medical supplies. Ann and her husband purchase most of these supplies from their pockets giving scholarships to high school children if there is one person who deserves it is Ann. Tell me what have Jean Joseph done for Dominica???
she brings down loads of overseas voters every election. that is a great achievement for the ruling party.
I can tell youlol! She ran for DFP in the 1980 election it must have been suggested by the now Kasi president. Some of us remember then she migrated then returned so the gang of Four/DFP rejects are rallying their forces as a blast from the past.
It appears that this awards thing has become a BIG joke.
Congratulations to all recipients. A special THANK YOU for your devotion to national service.
No parade without a salary increase. We are going on a sickout on Monday and Tuesday . Enough is enough . No more politricking.
On tuesday too???? No no no… we want our street jump up… lol
Lol lol there will not be a parade, because the police are planning a sickout . we go see.
Congratulations to the awardees but i really think Curtis Matthew should be considered for an award
Why ! He gets the chance to ask the PM questions and when the time comes his mouth is locked .
He is a coward only on Q95 they have strength lol
boom!!!! U hit the target
What the dickens for?
The award for Curtis should be called the Meritious award for lockjaw!
are you on medical marijuana to for Hallucination? For what woulg U even perceive such an unreasonable idea? the guy must first learn to read without sounding like a person on ventilation machine with his special/unique intonation. Didn’t he listen to the old school x2 reading of the news by Ray Lawrence in Oct? Give a hell of a break UNKNOW you got to be CRAZY they should put this guy in a room in the back some where in the office.He chose the wrong profession sorry no disrespect to him as a human being but he does not cut it for news let alone nomination for what??????? you must listen to Cilo Green’s CRAZY
