Having spent extended stays as a patient in both the Princess Margaret and Doctors Hospitals.I can fully appreciate the challenges that nurses faces daily.And that is why I can speak with authority when I say that nursing is the most dedicated,hardworking, underpaid ,undervalued and under appreciated of most jobs anywhere .Some of us faint at the sight of blood and are even scornful of our own excrement.Yet there is no job that I can think of where persons are treated with such disdain.Many times patients and their family fail to see the value that nurses bring.Nurses are there caring for us from the day we are born to the end of our lives. They offer support and comfort through some of the most trying times, but all too often we don’t say thank you.We take their service for granted.

Mr Minnis is concerned about the many work permits .Rightly so but his focus is in the wrong area.He need to look into what’s happening in the hotels.Especially Atlantis and Bahamar.Where the expats are taking over middle management positions.Below is an excerpt from a letter in last week guardian.
In recent times there has been a noticeable amount of Caucasian expatriates hired in the hospitality industry holding middle management positions in the food and beverage department. The reality is there are Bahamians who are capable of these positions but are not considered .Not only are they passed up but are passed up in favor of an expat who have never held a managerial position until coming to the Bahamas. Yeah !! Right they could tell us anything.Some of them that worked as cooks and servers are hired as chefs,directors and restaurant managers .With so many talented Bahamians available why is there an expat restaurant manager in a hotel in the Bahamas. Especially an expat who is feeding of his Bahamian assistant .We have been taken back more than fifty years when there were mostly Italians and French maitre’d‘s.Now we are all over the lowly Haitians that are living in the bushes who ekes out a living by weeding our yards.But not lobbying for the lucrative jobs held by the expats.Who are receiving housing allowance and whose children’s school fees are being paid.They come here on limited work permits that are gradually extended to five ten,fifteen years,some of them
never returning to their own countries . How sweet it is.
While our UB students graduating with honors holding degrees in hotel management cannot get a decent job. ”According to societies echelon it is called globalization”.Please free up those jobs and give our young graduates a chance before we lose anymore of them to the streets.

Curious Abaconian.no need to get all hot under the collar and trying to pretty up Sir Roland's legacy is not going change history. Sir Roland was a rum runner.
The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia Although he had only six years of formal education, Symonette became one of the wealthiest men of his generation. An autodidact and lifelong advocate of education, Symonette was a school teacher early in his career, but, during Prohibition, Symonette 'ran' rum to the United States. With the profits from rum-running, Symonette invested in real estate, liquor stores and eventually, a shipyard. The Symonette family's holdings have never been publicly confirmed, but public speculation has placed it between $700 million and $2.5 billion USD.
