March and Rally: "No Bail Let Capital Punishment Prevail" event set for May 3rd - Apr 23, 2014 - 11:45:58 AM
At present, incidences of crime, violent crimes in particular,
continue to increase in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Murders continue to
devastate and destabilize families while simultaneously leaving citizens and
communities in fear for their lives. Citizens of The Commonwealth of The
Bahamas must mobilize themselves and speak with one voice to demonstrate to the
criminal element that we will no longer live in fear. We must protest the
murders and the violence and embark upon a unified program of action to take
back our streets and protect our families.
As such, The No Spin Zone, a popular
Facebook group, in conjunction with Khandi Gibson of Families of Murdered
Victims (FOAM) and Troy Garvey of
Determined for Absolute Change (DFAC) invite all concerned Bahamians to

The Bahamas' Out Islands: A Visitor's View - Apr 22, 2014 - 3:10:11 PM
 Dear Editor,
My
wife and I are residents of Mississippi. After getting married
twenty-five years ago, we took our first island vacation to St. Martin.
Following that was Cancun, Bonaire, and St. Thomas. These are highly
populated and heavily visited resorts. I wanted something else –
“nothing”. No crowds, no mega-resorts, no having to lock our car at
every stop. So we searched the Internet for “remote beach cottage” and
found one in Abaco, wherever that was. The Bahamian owner graciously
helped us to plan the route, which of course included planes big and
small, taxi cabs, ferries, private boats and even suggested golf carts...
