Rebuilding after storm
Today, our country stands as a symbol of the extraordinary resilience of its islands, the extraordinary resilience of its people, the extraordinary resilience of the entire commonwealth of The Bahamas.
Minnis can go it alone
It is amazing and a spectacle of no small order to see and witness two of our former, and I stress the adjective, former, Prime Ministers seeking to publicly “upstage” the Most Honourable Prime Minister relative to their bogus attempts to inject themselves into matters of public policy in the aftermath of Dorian.
A source of hope
Re: Hope in Times of Despair
Hapless Christie
The great tragedy in the affair of the Two Former Prime Ministers is the pathetic, hapless figure of Perry Christie.
A monster of a lesson
Bahamians got a first-hand lesson in the urgency of global warming in the form of a monster hurricane named Dorian.
Honouring Jennie Smith
On Sunday, September 8, I am deeply sadden by the passing of my mother Jennie Smith, but I do know God has a place for her in Heaven. My mother was the pillar and foundation of our family with 12 kids – eleven boys and one girl. Their names are Tino, Roberto Romano Dino, Larry, Barry, Cyril, Erskine, Ambrose Richard and the only daughter, Jackie. With many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Attention seeking by former PMs
IT was so, so sad to see the two former Prime Ministers on TV Wednesday night. Both are retired and in their 70s.
Don't spread false stories
In times of national distress, thank God there are many Bahamians who spread hope and show gratitude for what is being done to help.
Heroism of Bahamians
FURTHER to Lynn Holowesko’s letter about the amasing hurricane disaster response at Odyssey Aviation, another extraordinary operation was taking place at White Crown Aviation and the North Eleuthera Airport.
Context of the hurricane
To explain the effects of Hurricane Dorian on The Bahamas.
Where were the RBDF and NEMA?
I was surprised by the reaction of many to the recent near obliteration of Abaco and the ravaging of Grand Bahama by hurricane Dorian.
Boston Blackie
Leonard “Boston Blackie” Miller is a name many more Bahamians should know. No, I’m not a member of his family, or in other ways related to him. I don’t even have his, or his family’s permission to say what I’m saying. I did, however, work with him briefly at C C Sweeting Junior High School many years ago. He impressed me as much then as he did with his pugilistic skills and bicycle riding abilities years and years before that. The fact that, even physical education teachers, in recent years, claim never to have heard of him is to me a big shame.
Death, destruction & recovery
Hurricane Dorian will long be remembered by this generation as the most destructive one ever experienced since the Great Hurricane of 1932.
Rebuilding our islands
I have been trying to find a reliable, qualified person to fix our roof since hurricane Michael. We called the Labour board to find out what is the going rate for a qualified worker and we were told they have no guideline, it is up to us and the worker.
Is there no justice for the poor?
I spent 6 hours yesterday at Jet Aviation trying desperately and unsuccessfully to evacuate my family members from Abaco.
