Dear Editor,
A few very important and pivotal Questions: a.) When were the Calendar Dates for Carnival 2016 approved by the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation and the Government of St. Maarten? b.) Was the Date of Sunday, May 1, 2016, taken into consideration as the day when most Church Denominations are at regular Sunday morning Worship, having traffic congestion and excess management and movement of People as a major problem ? c.) Was the Church Community approached in a timely manner to discuss this particular date of Sunday, May 1, 2016, knowing that it is the planned date of the Grand Parade? d.) How could this have been overlooked by all Parties involved, having faced similar experiences in the past? These are some of the main questions that could have been answered and resolved, avoiding another major matter affecting the Community of St. Maarten. Who can we really blame for this? In analyzing it all, it demonstrates again neglect by all concerned.
