Catching Up With: Doris Johnson Senior School head girl Dwaneika Colebrooke
For 16-year-old Dwaneika Colebrooke going through the long selection and interview process that led to her ultimately being selected as head girl of Doris Johnson Senior, was well worth the effort. The calm-natured 12th grade student was more than excited to take up the mantle and put a spin on being the new co-head of her school. The ambitious young lady with a 3.6 cumulative average said sometimes stepping outside of one's comfort zone to take on a challenge is the only way to develop as a person. She is glad she took the leap of faith despite her more laid-back personality, and hopes, through her work in her school she will encourage others to be adventurous. Q. What do you think made you stand out from your peers to be selected as head girl?
A. I believe that it was my positive attitude toward my teachers and peers along with my academic achievement that made me stand out enough from my peers to be selected as head girl. I am respectful, mannerly and I am told I have a calming presence. IâEUR^am able to listen to others and solve problems without getting riled up or upset myself. My grades are also above a 3.5 average and I always work hard to do better. I always try to plan ahead and be on top of whatever I am doing especially when it comes to my future. I think that kind of attitude was something that made me stand out to my teachers and peers as well.
Q. What are your future aspirations and what are you doing to pursue your dreams?
A. I want to be a genetic engineer in the field of forensic science. After I decided on what I wanted to do after I graduated I looked up schools to see if there were any that I liked that offered it. I see that there are a few in the Caribbean and in Canada that have good programs and I am working hard to get my grades up so I can be accepted. I am taking courses in Physics, General Science and keeping my grades up in Mathematics as well. I think it's important to put in all the hard work and long hours now so when I have to do harder courses or transition to other things in my life, it happens more easily.
Q. Why is it important to start early to plan what you want to do after graduation?
A. It is important to do this because you need to prepare yourself academically, financially and mentally for the direction you want your life to go. Without a plan you have some focus in your life and coming to school and working hard will make more sense to you. Many students get bored of school but that is because they don't see that this is an important stepping stone to accomplishing a lot later in life. I would advise all students to make goals--be it for a year or for five years. It's important to start thinking this way because life is not just about school and doing well, but doing what you can with what you have to make your dreams come true. And when you make plans also make a list or plan of how you will accomplish these things. For me it's about studying, researching my field of interest and being aware of changes that happen in it everyday.
Q. What study habits do you employ?
A. I think I have good study habits. I make time every day to review the work I did in school that day and the things I didn't understand as much I take more time to study it. Even on weekends I try to do a little studying by going over what I have done in the week. I don't have to study for more than an hour each day since I try to pay attention in class as best I can. These habits may not work for some students who learn differently but I would advise them to find what works best for them and be consistent in practicing it. Consistently good study habits will eventually lead to consistently good grades I find. I think it's also essential for students to always pay attention to their hardest subjects. You may not like it and it's easy to give up, but you need to keep at it. Even if it is the only subject you study some nights ensuring you work at it a little will show improvements.
Q. What is your weakest subject and what do you do to improve in it?
A. My weakest subject has to be English Language. I don't get terrible grades but it's the one I have to pay the most attention to and work hard to stay afloat. I try my best to write often in my spare time in order to improve my vocabulary and make my writing techniques better. I am seeing results. I would advise other students to find techniques to get them through their tougher classes whether it means rewriting notes from the class just to ensure you understand or recording what the teacher says so you can hear them again at home. No matter what, it is it is important to do whatever it takes to do the best you can.

JS Johnson Sees 8.9 Profit Fall
JS JOHNSON SUFFERED an 8.9 per cent net income decline to $2.619 million for the 2011 first quarter, its managing director describing the period "as a bit sluggish" and blaming the drop largely on an 11 per cent profitability fall at its underwriting affiliate.
Marvin Bethell, in his message to shareholders, said that the net income fall for the three months to end-March 2011 was "due primarily" to the fall in net income at Insurance Company of the Bahamas (ICB). This prevented the BISX-listed insurance agent and broker from matching 2010's $2.875 million net income.
"The first quarter was a bit sluggish, as total income drop ...

Higgs Johnson Partner Returned To Law Firm Body
Higgs & Johnson partner, Surinder Deal, has been re-elected to the Board of Directors of TerraLex, a large global legal network of law firms.
Christel Sands-Feaste: Partner, Higgs Johnson
What attracted to the sector?
My initial exposure to the sector was as a summer student in the Corporate Department at Higgs & Johnson in the mid-1990s. After specializing in banking and finance law at the London School of Economics and Political Science, there was no doubt in my mind that I wished to pursue a commercial law practice with particular emphasis on banking and international financial transactions.
My interest in the securities pillar of the financial services industry developed a year or two into my career after the Securities Industry Act and Regulations were passed and I spent five months in the Securities Practice Group of the leading Canadian law firm, McMillan (formerly Lang Michener) in Toronto.
What keeps you motivated?
I love what I do. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment after closing a transaction, irrespective of whether the sums involved are five figures or thirteen figures; it is what is sometimes described as "the thrill of the game". In addition, commercial practice is diverse and involves multiple areas of the law; it is not uncommon for a single transaction to involve regulatory, banking, real estate and other legal issues. There is very little risk of boredom setting in.
Why do you think you have been successful?
To my mind, there are a number of factors that have contributed to my success. Firstly, a strong family support system. My husband, mother, siblings and my five-year-old son are always "huddled in my corner".
Secondly, I continue to raise the bar for myself and am constantly striving to refine my intellectual capital by monitoring industry and legislative developments locally and internationally.
Thirdly, spending time in law firms in a number of jurisdictions around the world provided an invaluable insight into the global standard of productivity for commercial attorneys in tier-one firms. I worked in firms in London and Paris as a student and spent five months at the Securities Practice Group of Lang Michener in Toronto.
What has been your biggest challenge in your career and how did you overcome it?
One of the biggest challenges in my career has been addressing the concern sometimes expressed by clients who are unfamiliar with the jurisdiction that the quality of professional services available in a small country like The Bahamas is inferior to that available elsewhere. My strategy for allaying those concerns is to provide legal services at the very highest level in a timely fashion.
What advice would you give young people just staring out in the industry?
The advice I would give to young people starting out in the legal services side of the industry is: (i) try to gain some international exposure by working in a law firm outside of The Bahamas, (ii) find an experienced professional mentor and learn as much as you can from him or her, (iii) work diligently - the sacrifice of the long days (and often nights) will pay off, (iv) keep abreast of industry developments to broaden your knowledge of the field and (v) focus on rendering quality service to your clients at all times - this is a reflection not only of yourself but your firm and the jurisdiction as a whole.
Aside from work, what is important to you in life?
Spending time with my husband and five-year-old son and with my mother and siblings in Rock Sound (which I still call home). Uninterrupted "family time" without a BlackBerry is essential.
Remaining grounded is also important. I have been fortunate to have been provided with a great education and to have achieved some level of success as a professional. However, I constantly remind myself that I am not standing alone but rather on the shoulders of my ancestors whose vision and sacrifice made all of this possible.

Osman Johnson: Poor Government Planning Holds Entrepreneurs Hostage
The unemployed masses on
Grand Bahama Island continue to be ignored by successive administrations'
lack of vision to provide adequate economic opportunities.
In the face of the insurmountable
evidence against them however, State Finance Minister Zhivargo Laing
would have the public believe that the government's recent National
Job Readiness Program is a roaring success when, in fact, it is nothing
more than a poorly planned and executed political ploy.
The Democratic National Alliance
(DNA) is gravely concerned that, even now, months after the program's
inception, no checks and balances were established to ensure...
Statement from Howard R. Johnson, MPA, Former FNM Candidate, Central South Eleuthera
Exactly 1 year ago, the Progressive Liberal
Party returned to office on the back end of the most crippling economic
crisis since the Great Depression. It must be noted that the said
economic spanned most of the FNM's 2007-2012 term in office.
Nevertheless, the PLP reclaimed the government through classic
Machiavellian political tactics, an unrelenting and often sleazy
propaganda machine, and most significantly, a Charter complete with
lofty promises and goals. In their first 100 days, the most disgraceful
100 days of governance in Bahamian history, the new PLP government
embarked upon a systematic "purging" exercise summarily firing or
reassigning hundreds of civil servants suspected or known FNM
supporters

This has been an exciting year for soccer. The World Cup was held in South Africa and spread soccer fever across the continents. Of course the excitement was felt here as many Bahamians focused on the two-week competitive extravaganza. Also, The Bahamas has another reason to feel good about the sport of soccer.
Around World Cup time in July, Lesley St. Fleur was connecting with Milltown FC in the Canadian Soccer League. In the league, for just half a season, St. Fleur is spearheading a drive to the regular season title. He has 10 goals from 12 matches.
The powerful little sparkplug of a striker is prominently a part of the joy of soccer i ...
