COVID entry rules hitting bookings for The Bahamas

As the owner of travel agencies in northern New Jersey for many years we were always successful in sending clients to The Bahamas.

Settling judgments should be a priority

The new Attorney General Ryan Pinder came out guns blazing according to an Eyewitness News post online on November 1, 2021 with headline Unbudgeted and Unfunded: AG says judgments against government ‘have to be paid’.

50 percent of Bahamians are not fully vaccinated

I was disappointed to hear Minister of Health Dr Michael Darville say in his last press conference before the holidays that nearly 50 percent of Bahamians were fully vaccinated.

Are we all the same?

I knew a gentleman many years ago who spoke volumes to me as a young man, some the truth and a lot of bravado also. I was apprenticing for a machinist and he was one of my foremen. Paul was from Italy, and had worked for my dad’s firm for over twenty years. His conversations were like a Margaret Atwood novel, long, precise and often long winded, until finally a bead of truth appeared that was relevant to you the reader.

Michael Pintard displays hypocrisy

Michael Pintard, the comedian-turned-leader of the FNM, in my opinion displayed hypocrisy in his comments in The Nassau Guardian on Tuesday, January 4, 2022.

Let new FNM leader unify the party

I must commend our Leader, the Hon. Michael Pintard for setting the record straight in Tuesday’s Tribune, 4th of January.

A double whammy of COVID challenges in the new year

As the year comes to an end, governments worldwide brace themselves to face the latest COVID-19 variant. Omicron.

Bucket list for 2022

2021 is gone and will not be missed too much by most Bahamians.

There is a bright light within us

What makes humanity so special? Yes, special. We are agents of destruction and creation too. We look at our universe often in a survivalist manner, applying the rules of Darwinism to much that we do.

Are political parties ‘not for profit entities’?

Yes, carnival.....accepted the “tradition” party in-office has a business arrangement with the Carnival Company, but does the political party have a Business Licence? Has it a VAT Tin number?

Anglicans should not canonise Bishop Tutu

South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu died on Boxing Day in Cape Town at the ripe age of 90. The recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, Tutu, along with Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk, was instrumental in dismantling the Apartheid system implemented by the White South African National Party, after its ascent to high office in 1948.

Dilemma of reopening the schools

As the proud parent of a University of The Bahamas student, like other parents; students and teachers we are all anxious that in-person tuition become the norm again in the shortest time possible. Many students, unfortunately, do not have access to electricity or computers. This greatly curtails their ability to be taught online. There is little doubt that this will negatively impact their grade averages and results of examinations if and when they are held.
