The Bottom, Saba: Last Saturday, June 19, the host of the weekly radio program "Good Day Saba", Mr. Dave Levenstone aka Dj. Davio, organized the first ever Father’s Day Poem competition over the Voice of Saba, 93.9 QFM.
Levenstone said that he was very satisfied to receive some 17 entries from 14 youngsters and three adults. "I felt that Father’s Day needed to have a different touch. This holiday is mostly subdued so I decided instead of doing an annual radio quiz I would do something different; I am satisfied with the way it turned out."
The lucky winner in the children’s category was Jordan Every of Zion’s Hill and in the adult’s category teacher Miranda Simmons of The Bottom. A prize was given to the only father that took part in the competition, Mr. Peter Rudolph Johnson, and an additional prize for the last person to submit a poem, namely teacher Tracy Zagers-Johnson, who submitted her poem on Saturday morning just after 12.00 midnight via e-mail.
Levenstone was thankful to the sponsors namely "My Store Supermarket", Corner Imports, Saba Telephone Company N.V. and most of all the Summit Hotel on St. Maarten. "Without the support of these sponsors it could not have happened," he stated. He continued by thanking all his supporters and especially the valuable radio listeners who tune into this and his other program, Changes, on a weekly basis. He says he looks forward to doing some other interesting events on radio as time goes by. "I feel that these types of activities on the air are important as you can reach many people who enjoy being a part of the program", he concluded
