Thanks to the many who helped rebuild St Mark's
It is with great humility that I embrace Diane Phillip’s heart-warming article The Fall and Rise of St. Mark’s. Diane is a gifted, compassionate writer who has so eloquently captured a time of great fear, an unknown future, and the faith and spirit of Anita Collie Pratt and her neighbours on Acklins in the bullseye of Hurricane Joaquin.
Exhausted credit cards

Lunacy we should have avoided
A scant 54 days into his Prime Ministership in 2017, a buoyant Hubert Minnis went to Grenada on what was his foreign policy debut.
Clients can’t be held responsible for their lawyers
THE recent decision by the President of the Court of Appeals to hold clients liable for the conduct of their attorneys in the Supreme Court is troubling and brings the sagacity of that decision into question.
Beware the taxi drivers
Someone has upset the sleeping tiger of the taxi drivers! Hope they know what they are doing? Because we all remember what the infamous general strike started with…a strike of the taxi drivers at the airport.
Hard to stay focused
Yet again the Prime Minister spoke for too long….45 minutes - all studies say no longer than 20 minutes at the most! There was content, some positive but it simply did not hit home, it was lost in so much flowery talking.
We have evolved and adapted to living in the midst of filth
Your editorial today, 30 January 2019, on the topic of run down Nassau and downtown is apropos.
Nassau needs to be the first call
Employment quotas based on gender? Has not the good minister studied the constitution? Article: 26. Starting to wonder if there should not be an understanding - The Constitution Test for Ministers?
Keep it simple
Why does the RBDF constantly suggests that they have such an enormous area to guard our borders, when in geographical reality it is about only 30% of the country, as the majority looks after itself?
PM playing the Pied Piper game
The so-called national address by the embattled Prime Minister was straight from the Twilight Zone.
Crime in The Bahamas does not affect tourism
Educated statements of Ministers are supposed to be the norm, but week after week, we hear what can only be described as political mumbo-jumbo – verbal rubbish unfounded and unsupported by facts.
We must forget this obsession with courtesy titles in public
We have become seemingly obsessed with the proliferation of honorific and courtesy titles in public life, particularly when applied to current or former public servants.
Cameras which can’t catch the criminals
How good is your memory? When did the first CCTV camera go up in downtown? Did crime decrease from the petty pick-pocketing and selling of drugs? It still goes on today with cameras.
Sending chilling negative messages
As a trained and highly experienced former member of The Bahamas Bar, I do believe that I am qualified to opine on judicial matters locally and around the world.
Talk show trivia
Unfortunately for my experience, every time I do listen to a talk show - misinformation is spoken, not only by the host, but reinforced by the callers.
