Tribute to Sir Durward
S - Sensitive; sea wolf.
Battling crime
I AM concerned and aware of the challenges you face with the free run of criminality in this country. To minimise the excess ‘law breakers’ on the road I notice the new licence plates are not easily seen because the colour and the number on the plates are both dark. The decal window sticker should be exchanged to a different colour every year making it easy for officers to identify expire dates. The colour however appears to remain the same, making it difficult to identify from a distance.
How many votes?
The Guardian headline today says “Pastors to Vote on Marital Rape Issue”. As is commonly seen on Social Media these days, I nearly BOL (Bust out Laughing). It brought back to memory, a number of years ago, when my church engaged a Pastor from Missouri.
Garbage keeps on piling up
PLEASE allow me space in your column to express my concern about a very serious issue that has gotten little to no attention from all governments. I am talking about the issue of littering.
The big mango deal
MANGOES and Plantains from Haiti - wow what a big deal!
A well-deserved honour for Moss
I AM extremely happy that Rev Dr C B Moss was recently awarded the 2017 Golden Heart Award by the Sir Victor Sassoon Heart Foundation. For over 50 years Rev Moss worked tirelessly with many Organisations to improve the well-being and quality of life for all of our people, particularly the less fortunate.
Cemetery proposal
IT is certainly interesting that a promoter would be interested in developing a cemetery when traditional funerals and interments are now not the norm and cremation is.
Come clean on Oban Energies
OBAN - I am sure many will agree it is more than high time that the Prime Minister came clean on the whole history of the application by Oban to develop a refinery and oil storage facility.
Marital rape laws
MARITAL Rape? If as a society we accept man and woman are equal then within that context any abuse of either has to be an offence.
Walmart daydream
I HAVE to reply to Dick Coulson’s open letter. To Mike Maura, Chamber of Commerce.
Don't film the victims
THOUGH I have personally never been affected, there is a proclivity by some who may be on the scene when persons are injured or mortally wounded in robberies, car accidents or domestic violence, to take pictures and circulate them on social media.
Honouring Billy Graham
ON Monday, February 19, The Nassau Guardian published a quote by renowned American evangelist Billy Graham. Interestingly, a few other Graham quotes appeared in that publication during the previous week.
Progress along the waterfront
IT seems the leadership of Ed Fields something might now happen along the Nassau Harbour waterfront.
Sir Durward – humanitarian par excellence
Sir Durward Knowles, the last “pure example” of what a real Bahamian should be like, has sailed his last race, which he won “going away”.
Secretary should not be signing
IS there no one in the Office of the Prime Minister or the Attorney General’s Office who can advise that the Cabinet Secretary has no signing authority on behalf of Government and all documents - MOU’s - Heads of Agreement she may sign are worthless as are all those in the past from Kerzner forward.
