Dear Editor,
Because it takes so long for Sint Maarten to rebuilt after Irma and Maria and because it has been and continues to be politics as usual , (toppling of government, political campaigning and elections in the midst of everyone's calamity and because every day I see someone either walking with some household article (fan, microwave) over the street, I take a moment to realize how fortunate I am.
Dear Editor,
As the new school year commences, I would like to wish all students the best for the year. I encourage you to be more focused than ever on your schoolwork. Allow me to share with you the words of A.A. Milne in Winnie the Pooh: Promise me you will always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Dear Editor,
I was informed that there is an understanding in the new government that they will adopt the motto of the Three Musketeers “All for one and one for all.” This sounds marvelous because this would mean more transparency and control. This should contain what since 10-10-’10 has become common practice “Minister making deals.”
Dear Editor,
One Sunday morning in the late 1970s early ‘80s a gentleman told me to tell the judge that he said, “If the judge built a house, got married after building the house and the marriage did not go well, if the judge would agree to leave the house that he had built for the wife who did not know how the house got built?”
Dear Editor,
Theo Is gifted to be our leader and no one on the island has this political gift like Theo, he is the most popular politician on the Island.
If I was a parliamentarian or Minister I would join Theo to the fullest.
Can you see? If election was called yesterday, today, or tomorrow, Theo’s party won the election?
I quote: We must join him and work with him to develop St. Maarten.
