  On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Today is Contract Day, the 148th anniversary of the Fireburn on St. Croix. We speak with Stephanie Chalana Brown, state director of the Division of Virgin Islands Cultural Education, about how Contract Day gives Virgin Islanders a language for examining labor today. The Health Department says it needs nearly $2 million from senators to pay off a debt in the territory's AIDS drug program, and it is warning that care for people living with HIV could be at risk if the bill goes unpaid. And after FEMA placed the territory's recovery work under an enhanced compliance review, Governor Albert Bryan Jr. says a meeting with the agency has opened the door to federal help with speeding up stalled projects and housing construction workers. Listen to these stories and more. Pictured: The Three Rebel Queens of the Virgin Islands statue on St. Thomas. The fourth queen, Susanna “Bottom Belly” Abrahamson, is not featured in the statue as her role as a leader in the Fireburn was not uncovered until 2004, when historian and former Senator Wayne James' archival research found historical documents in Denmark.

  On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Calypso legend Dr. Slinger Francisco, known around the world as the Mighty Sparrow, has died. Governor Albert Bryan and Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett mourn the calypso legend and we take a look back on his appearance on WTJX’s “Face to Face” with Addie Ottley in 2001. Two men were killed in separate auto-collisions on St. Thomas this weekend – one of them during a car chase with police. Then, in a separate incident early this morning, a young woman was shot and killed on Veterans Drive, marking the territory’s 39th homicide of the year. And as immigration enforcement in the territory ramps up due to national policies, the Magens Bay Authority says they’re losing tradesmen that are essential to daily operation.
