A sailing legend
I was saddened to learn of the passing to Sir Godfrey Kelly, co-founder of the Cat Island Regatta which started in Knowles, Cat Island in 1956. I first came to know Sir Godfrey when I served as President of the Cat Island Sailing Club Association, organisers of the regatta.
Davis’ LA Rams media strategy
With the Cincinnati Bengals set to face the Los Angeles Rams at the $5 billion SoFi Stadium in Super Bowl LVI, politically astute NFL enthusiasts in The Bahamas can see faint parallels between the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government and the team representing the NFC.
Farewell, Sir Godfrey
I have only ever had two bosses.
Foreigner takeover
It’s happening now on Mount Pleasant Village Park. Foreigners have taken it over all day long - without permit!
Investment not photo ops
Photo-op Minister for Foreign Affairs and a CARICOM official designated on the folly of CARICOM to try to obtain reparations from the United Kingdom.
Stand up against madness
The sporting federations, the Olympic Associations, and fellow sportsmen, now is the time to let your voices be heard before all the benefits of sports are lost and destroyed.
Shame on Clint Watson
On 1st February “Our News Bahamas” posted a newscast on YouTube of media personnel being denied interviews with Government Ministers on their way to Cabinet at The Office of the Prime Minister in the Cecil Wallace-Whitfield Building on Cable Beach.
Plans to rejuvenate Bay Street
I see rejuvenance of Bay Street, that is the section between the British Colonial hotel and East Street, is again causing interest with “something must be done” although what that may be is not made clear.
Masks on or pay up
MASKS...... Masks..... we are required to wear them so the Health Regulation says....BUT.......
Undermining values of Bahamians
DR MICHAEL Darville and Ministry of Health and Wellness officials must be commended for rejecting the concert request of Bahamian promoters of the Reggae Valentine’s Day event featuring Jamaican dancehall artist Dexter Daps.
AI: Helping the lonely
COVID-19’s influence upon us all has been at times horrific.
A lethally reckless judiciary
Last week, a young man convicted of possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition received a sentence of one year in prison and a fine of $5,500.00. This kind of thing has become so normalised in The Bahamas that it hardly receives any notice, either editorially or by government ministers charged with maintaining societal norms.
Protocol for media
I am both trained as a journalist, but I have been engaged in the media as a radio and television talk show host for a decade and counting, so I am somewhat qualified to opine on the apparent spat between segments of the profession and the Office of the Prime Minister as it relates to access to cabinet ministers to and from meetings of the cabinet.
FNM moving on
It was a pleasure to see the appointment of Michela Barnett-Ellis as Senator on Friday, for many reasons.
What baggage?
I am not an FNM and most of my other habits are food ones. I was almost astounded when I read a recent article in The Tribune by Rashad Rolle, a senior reporter at that fine establishment, wherein he quoted Adrian White (FNM-Ann’s Town) as suggesting that both he and Shanendon Cartwright (FNM-St. Barnabas) have “baggage” going into the upcoming FNM convention.
