A tribute to Anita Doherty
Imagine being a naïve 13-year-old new student of a new school, not knowing anyone there. That’s what I experienced on my first day at the then Freeport Anglican High School – the day I met then Vice Principal Anita Doherty.
World Water Day
It’s disgraceful that Zimbabwe is not on the list of countries who are going to celebrate world water day. Water in Zimbabwe is unsafe to drink because there are no chemicals for treatment and it is causing an outbreak of waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid and bilharzia. People are releasing their waste near and inside the rivers and others are accidentally drinking contaminated water.
MP’s tweet about Jada
The famed JoBeth Coleby-Davis Tweet about American actress Jada Pinkett Smith has created a ruckus among supporters of the Opposition Free National Movement (FNM). The Tweet was posted subsequent to Will Smith striking comedian Chris Rock in the face after the latter joked about Smith’s wife, Jada, looking like the fictional character GI Jane. Jada Smith suffers from alopecia, which explains her bald head.
The history of sailing in The Bahamas
If there is anyone in the Bahamas who is yet unconvinced that sailing has been the bedrock of transportation, boat building, ocean freighting, pleasure boating, commercial fishing, competitive sportsmanship, and finally a Royal Regatta with the future King and Queen of England racing against each other and teaming up with some of the very best Bahamian sailing talent, then you are definitely inconvincible.
In honour of Anita Doherty
It has been widely circulated on social media and confirmed that The Bahamas at large and the Grand Bahama and East End communities have lost a warrior of a woman in the person of Anita Doherty. A former Chief Councilor for the City of Grand Bahama, and a well-known athlete, Anita received many accolades in her lifetime and has held many titles.
Abortion and marital rape
There is no such legal creature as “marital rape” and I, as a trained lawyer, am sick and dead tired over the miss abuse application of that terminology. In law, rape is rape....the forcible sexual intimacy between a male and female, regardless of marital status. A woman's or man's body belongs to him or herself, apart from God as our Creator.
The debate on Republic has begun
Well the debate on Republic or not Republic has started and hopefully the commentators will do their research and not talk total garbage so we get a mixed up opinion of untruths.
Ukraine war and Putin
We are very lucky to live in a democracy, in a democracy we are allowed to write and say what we like.
Western Air A-Team shines bright
I would be very pleased if you would grant me but a little space to express myself in your prestigious and highly regarded column.
The monarchy
Great Britain has historically had a foolproof method of dealing with corruption: it just legalised it.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Potentially the US and EU maybe experiencing another wave of COVID-19 this spring. In the US cases are at an eight month low, but the exponential growth in infections seen in The EU is the latest evidence that COVID-19 remains a persistent threat with the potential to upend our hopes for moving past this pandemic.
Cartwright the future for FNM
This year of 2022 is the second year of the arrival of our long lost and not missed cousin, COVID-19.
Hanna Martin meddling with UB decision
Once again, Minister of Education Glenys Hanna Martin has been a terrible disappointment.
Take a look in the mirror
AS Bahamians, we should all admit to ourselves after looking in the mirror that when we go to our so-called election polls every four years plus now, we go to vote for what we see in the mirror.
Crocodile tears, bogus sympathies
IN recent times two young Bahamian women lost their lives in horrific circumstances before their toddlers. We all mourned their passing and made calls for justice and amendments to the law. After a few weeks those events are just a passing memory. Truly, the dead will bury the dead...
