How is this new? Student IDs were mandatory during the early to mid 2000s. Why was it discontinued?

Hopefully this time there will be someone at the gates actively checking for IDs.

How will they leave? If it is without government approval they will most likely have to find and fund their own way back home. If the US fights are suspended and Bahamasair has suspended flights the question to be asked and answered is how will this work.

In the Jamaican Observer it is reported that the Government has arranged for the evacuation of the students. The track of Beryl has changed and it appears that there will be a direct hit. Keep in mind many if not all of those students are on Government subvention.

This is good. I hope they keep it up and implement similar programmes on a smaller level in the schools for a wider reach. The young boys in the picture appear contrite not shamed. They know they are not there because of their good works.

So this year's carnival theme is let it all hang out. Nice.

You are right about the food quality. It has fallen and I'm sure their sales has too. And like you, I also did not go back there.

Agreed.

If the parole system is to be implemented, one can only hope and pray that the victims of crimes are given the necessary notice to have their say as to why such criminals should not be released into society. The reason for the parole system cannot be to make it less expensive for the government to maintain the prison. The safety of victims of crimes should be the paramount concerns before a convicted criminal is released back into society.

Pride certainly goeth before a fall. The MP has been very prideful despite the controversial position he is in. One could only postulate that it is because that first situation was not dealt with how it should and remains an open investigation the MP was further boosted to react in this manner.

This is what happens when you don't stop while you're ahead.

Exactly.
