ATM machine malfunction
I had the most unfortunate incident happen to me on May 25th, 2023. I deposited $1,500 into the ATM machine at Nova Scotia Bank on Soldier Road, immediately $100 came out of the machine. I then looked at it and put it back in, the receipt came out and it showed that I only put in $1400 and not $1500.
Heroes live in our community
There was a time when being a doctor, nurse, fire fighter, EMS operator, police was nothing more than a person with a hell of a career ahead of them. Good money, respect and kudos to them all. Something has changed and continues to mindfully change for us all. You know how you come to appreciate something or someone when you most need it, or when it or they cannot be found?
Don’t incite non-Bahamians
We have to be careful not to incite and create an expectation for those who understand their father was Bahamian and that their mothers were not citizens of The Bahamas.
Men are abused too; hidden truth
There has been a heightened awareness of domestic violence. We can agree that there have been too many incidences of women who endure the most forms of disrespect and abuse physically, mentally, and psychologically.
Fix child protection act for dads
I am writing to bring awareness to a social crisis that has permeated Bahamian society, and that is fatherhood absenteeism.
RCI deal a symptom of bigger issue
I write to express my enthusiastic support for the timely and patriotic message expressed by Pam Burnside in a recent letter, “We must protect what is ours.”
Disrepair of roads a disrespect to residents
I rent Nissan Xtrail SUVS here in South Eleuthera. Just today I rented a customer a SUV. Not more than an hour driving south, my customer called reporting having dropped in a pothole and he got a flat tyre. As a result, the customer damaged the aluminium rim and had to abandon the vehicle just south of Rock Sound, Eleuthera. Sir, your constituency.
Is Watson move a demotion?
A gentleman who I believe supports the Progressive Liberal Party asked me if I consider Clint Watson’s relocation from the Office of the Prime Minister as Press Secretary to ZNS (or the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas) a promotion? I told him no, considering that Watson, as Press Secretary, was the de facto mouthpiece of the Davis administration; having immediate access to Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis. For many thousands of Bahamians, Watson has become the face of the PLP.
Bird deaths
There is a horrible avian flu striking at the wild bird population across North America. The Avian Flu H5N1 has caused devastation within the poultry industry, and may have killed over a billion wild birds too.
Legacy of the Prime Minister
The legacy of Prime Minister Philip ‘Brave’ Davis is being written in bold strokes. Since captivating the audience at COP 26, he has shown the world that the size of a country does not define the power of its voice. Davis’s quiet demeanour, far from indicating a lack of strength, has symbolised his unique approach, which embodies the concept of speaking softly and carrying a big stick. His tenaciousness in the face of criticism is a testament to his conviction that actions indeed resonate louder than words.
Bank charges
I received an urgent email yesterday from one of our vendors saying please don’t send any wire payments to our account at Commonwealth Bank. While the other Bahamas banks have wound down their customer facing options, Commonwealth has been advertising like a native rooster, their “in-branch” availability as a competitive advantage.
Sanctuary for dogs welcomed
The Bahamas Humane Society applauds the incentive of the Bahamas government to create a sanctuary for dogs. It is high time that the plight of animals in the Bahamas be recognised. Potcakes are frequently mistreated and abused and the Bahamas Humane Society has spent the past 99 years trying to alleviate suffering.
Climate and science
Possibly someone in the section that advises on Bahamas weather conditions — climate change can do research back to the earliest records - 1851 plus - and get the story a little more accurate.
VP visit
In diplomacy and good neighbour relations, surely it doesn’t take 50-years at the level of President or Vice President to visit the closest most friendly offshore independent country… us The Bahamas?
Climate change? What's that?
This letter is intended for novices and not for the scientifically astute. Experts in the field of science agree that climate change is the greatest threat to the survival of mankind, second perhaps only to nuclear annihilation, and if current trends are not reversed, we as humans could become architects of our own destruction.
