Dear Editor,
The following message is for our government representatives.
Now that the Great Bay Hotel is being demolished to be rebuilt, why not take this opportunity to return the Fresh Pond outlet to its original condition. By doing that you would eliminate the idea of opening the present outlet only when it rains cats and dogs. And the seawater in that area would not be unfit for bathing; the hotel could use it as a tourist attraction. And fishes would swim in and out freely. Consequently, the pond water might even get cleaned. As former Prime Minister William Marlin would say, “It’s a win-win situation.”
Another topic of concern: whose foolish idea was it to put bus shelters 50 feet apart, behind a lamppost? Worse yet, three feet from the road they have been built. The present bus stops have ample parking space; yet the buses do not use them. What makes you think that the bus drivers would pull off the road in the area of the bus shelters? It is a good idea, but it is a case of bad planning.

Dear Editor,
Raymond Knops (State Secretary) visited the island of St. Eustatius on April 30, 2018. Various short videos were uploaded about his visit. In one video, he was seen talking to the “Advisory Committee” in which he stated that even though the Committee is not an official body, the Committee fulfills the role of the Island Council. What a contradiction!
Dear Editor,
It is incongruous and a route to failure, if the majority of names that were revealed to fill the executive branch of the up-coming government become a reality.
I really start to believe that the more titles, diplomas and nomination somebody has, the more stupid he becomes because he can’t think realistically.
Dear Editor,
St. Maarten policemen and -women from the Police Force have been very active. They really need some great praises from the public coming from the hearts of all citizens.
From Christmas, election, Easter, and Carnival, St Maarten police are doing great,
excellent.
