Drivers causing a hazard
I would like to raise awareness of one of the growing issues on our streets at night.
Bloomberg should stand here
I read the very interesting “Investing in People & Communities” - a Government Progress Report, which was an insert in your paper recently.
Spread of virus would be devastating
The statement that 400 will be the worst-case scenario for the COVID-19 virus in the Bahamas is totally ridiculous.
We need some commonsense
When will common sense return to the Bahamas or the world for that matter?
Benefits of home ports
Critics of the FNM who accuse it of being a reincarnation of the now defunct United Bahamian Party are in for a rude awakening when the details of the purchase of the Grand Lucayan resort by Royal Caribbean finally emerge. In fact, this deal (like many others) will likely confirm a vast difference between the FNM and the UBP.
This time, the US sneeze will be more than a cold
How many times over a lifetime has one heard the desperate sigh: “Oh, dear God, what is this world coming to?”
Why women should show support for this decade of action
I join people of goodwill from all over the world in acknowledging and celebrating International Women’s Day (“IWD”). The theme of IWD 2020 is: “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women's Rights.
How tourism can help our students learn
Word has spread that this country is facing a so-called ‘education crisis.’
Following in the steps of Caesar
Re: PARADISE LOST?
Trump gets my vote
Some Bahamians seemed to have been greatly annoyed that US President Donald Trump had been acquitted by the Senate in the Democratic Party’s impeachment trial in early February, which was nothing more than a witch hunt aimed at bypassing the votes of 63 million Americans who voted for the Republican Party standard bearer in 2016.
Why the PLP should show its support for Monique
The PLP squandered a public relations coup and a chance to demonstrate that they are turning over a new leaf. Going in to the next election the party should want to show that it is open to fresh faces, especially women.
Time for Straw Market vendors to do better
Not surprised that the Straw Business Persons Society is upset with Works Minister Desmond Bannister and the Straw Market Authority for making the unpopular decision to close down the market for much needed maintenance work. With the Spring Break season beginning this week, the scheduled closure between February 23rd to February 29th couldn't have come at a more inopportune time for irate straw vendors, who are carrying on like they are living from hand to mouth, which is difficult to believe, seeing that the rental fee at the market is only $37.50 per week.
Immigration measures
Usually, from the general impressions garnered from these articles entered daily in newspapers, it appears that many of them lack the want-to-help-scenarios…not my articles is fair to say.
Did Minnis snub GBPA?
I couldn’t help but notice that none of the executives of the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) were in a photo with Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis and several Free National Movement (FNM) Cabinet ministers, Lucayan Renewal Holdings Chair Michael Scott and Royal Caribbean and ITM officials at the official signing for the Grand Lucayan Resort.
Undermining of the South Andros MP
The constituency of South Andros is considered by many Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) supporters to be a low hanging fruit for the political organisation, having been represented by Sir Lynden Pindling from the 1960s till his retirement in 1997.
