Teachers are crucial

It should be highly appreciated that teachers play a crucial role in societies.

We should back PM over decision to close beaches

Yes, we have brought our community spread under control, thanks to the herculean efforts of this government.

America's leader is taking us to the edge

“Let’s protect each other and our communities. When you visit any BTC store to pay your bill in full, you will receive a free 3-layer protective mask.”

We must turn our sights to other tourism markets in the world

We’re now a day away from July 1. Let’s try to carefully think about what’s going on.

We need trees on the beach – they provide us with shade

A minister was on the news talking about removing trees from beaches.

Bethel must offer his resignation

We profess to follow the so-called Westminster form of constitutional democracy here at home in our wonderful nation. Under that system there are certain constitutional conventions, while not having the force of an actual law or legislation, are followed and observed in the political arena.

Dollar collapse

The United States (US) national debt has reached 26 trillion and is expected to reach 30 trillion in 2021.

Why the people of Green Turtle Cay feel neglected

Today makes Day 304 without power at my residence on Green Turtle Cay. My residence has been repaired and is ready for reconnection to the BPL power grid. We were promised, again last week, that Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) would be coming to do hook-ups this week.

School hours should stay the same

As a person who works in the education system I must voice my input about how school should be run when it reopens. It is not feasible for there to be six feet of distance between students in the class room. Desks should be reasonably spaced but if students are wearing masks and using hand sanitisers this should not be an issue. The main issue should be the number of students in each class. There should be no more than 25 students in each class. This number allows for adequate spacing in each room.

Time to think of our children

Some have said that your opinion of the Andros project should be reserved until all that is proposed comes out.

Don't let motorbike riders spoil it for all

At about 4.30 this afternoon, at least four trail bikes were observed tearing up and down the road inside the Montagu Park that runs parallel to the beach. The ignorant riders were popping wheelies and endangering the people in the area.

Deal with shortcomings

During the last few weeks, following the white police officer killing of African American George Floyd, there has been a blizzard of posts on local social and news media with regard to racial inequality in the Bahamas with crusaders and lunatics alike, thankfully non-violent, coming out in imitation of our neighbours to the north.

A gift I can't forget from Peter Graham

I have been fortunate to have known the late Hon. Peter Donald Graham, who passed into Eternity recently.
