Defending the leader of the opposition
Defending the leader of the opposition
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the personal opinion of "Simon" in the column Front Porch of The Nassau Guardian Tuesday, October 30, regarding the leader of the opposition.
Simon rightly said that the leader of the opposition post is a stepping stone to potentially the most rewarding elected office in our parliamentary system. We know that there are many who toiled and worked hard for years to...
Law abiding Bahamians are safe
Law abiding Bahamians are safe
Dear Editor,
The commissioner of police and his senior officers continue to suggest that the average citizen in The Bahamas is safe. I shared this same view up to April of this year, but sadly my belief has changed. I have not been the victim of a crime but a few persons whom I know very well have had encounters with criminal elements in our society.
I, like the average Bahamian, know of at leas...
Prime Minister Perry Christie no longer wants Picewell Forbes in the PLP
Dear Editor,
Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) member of Parliament for Mangrove Cay and South Andros Picewell Forbes is probably wondering why he has fallen into the bad grace of his leader Prime Minister Perry G. Christie. Forbes, who is currently serving in his second term in the House of Assembly, has not been appointed to the Cabinet or any of the government boards. He has be...
Has the DNA thrown in the towel
Has the DNA thrown in the towel
Dear Editor,
The Democratic National Alliance (DNA) celebrated its one year anniversary on May 12, 2012. This is a noteworthy accomplishment given the respectable support that it received during the last general election. The DNA hosted several town hall meetings, street meetings and even several "mass rallies". They were also able to nominate a full slate of candidates in a general election; an ...
When will the PLP leader learn
When will the PLP leader learn
Dear Editor,
I believe every word of it. I believe every word the prime minister said about the comments the senator made about the leader of the official opposition. When will he learn? The deputy leader is plotting to overthrow him. Jerome Fitzgerald doesn't support him. George Smith is calling for what he is calling for and Raynard Rigby is undermining him.
If the leader had 10 percent of...

Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. -- St. Luke 2:15. We are so created that whatever we purpose to do in our minds, be it good or bad, most of the time it is carried out.
The 'Green-Eyed Monster'
The 'Green-Eyed Monster'
Whether you refer to it as the "green-eyed monster", or envy -- jealousy -- one of the seven Cardinal Sins should not be taken lightly because it corrupts the eyes which are the "lamps" of the body, and in turn erodes the mind, heart, and soul if left unchecked.
Catching up with... C.V. Bethel High School Teacher of the Year Marilyn Fowler
For C.V. Bethel High School Teacher of the Year Marilyn Fowler, every new year in the educational system is about the challenge. After spending 17 years in business studies, the teacher who has taught commerce, keyboarding, computer studies, accounts and office procedures says she keeps her passion burning by never trying to accomplish the same feat twice. Now in her 30s, the business subjects coo...
The Storm is Over!
The Storm is Over!
Earlier last week, Bahamians casually monitored Tropical Storm Irene, ironically a name derived from the Greek word for "peace" as it battered Puerto Rico.? On Monday, August 22, 2011 computer models indicated that if the storm overpassed the mountains of Hispaniola, which would weaken it, Irene would probably turn north towards the warm waters of The Bahamas where it would likely strengthen into ...
