old man paben looks a 100 times more younger and more better than our former carnival queen, our former carnival queen needs a make over, and always critical of other people, need to take a good look in the mirror

Why could positive activities on this island never remain positive? @ Food who is also Paben, your comments were not called for. If you know you have issues with the young lady you are degrading take it up with her. Leave it out of this article. We are celebrating our first St. Maarten Day as a Country why spoil the joyous occasion with your comments. Common man, when will people in this place GROW UP.

The culture and surrounding department also had a large pre-SXM day luncheon, but ofcourse their story was not told because they are not the GIS department and/or neither informed them of this.
