Ivan was a man both loved and loathed by The Bahamian pseople.. But his paper was compelling and frank, and people use to line up to buy (or borrow) the weekly issue when it came out... One must say that he stood up for his beliefs and ideals and it is surprising to find out (just now) that he was also a professional cricketeer... And his father seemed to be quite a man as well, flying missions in WW ll for England. RIP Ivan, you (and your editorials) will be missed
Dome homes (or lighthouse shaped) would be the BEST solution for islands in a hurricane zone. WHY this SIMPLE solution is NEVER acted on is beyond me. (The lack of angles keeps the structure from buckling or being destroyed by hurricane winds...)
So surprise how much you know about all of these people.. And what they are... (Didn't hear them refferred to as "radical coommunists and convicted pedophiles.") More like "young" and "students" and "trying to disarm" your "hero" AFTER he shot and killed people... BTW: Killing people is NOT "the police job..."
To be honest, if I was Mr. Roberts, I would have closed up my foodstores YEARS ago. To me their chain is probably (or HAS been) the MOST fair in prices, availability and working with local vendors. Why I say "has been" is because I understand there has been some new (family) management changes/additions, and I'm not up to date if that has changed any of their piorities and goals... If you think Mr. Roberts is a rip off, just look at the other foodstore chains in The Bahamas, (especially Nassau,) and imagin trying to deal with (only) them....
