Fixing Cuba's Bad Rep
Bahamians should know more about Cuba but they should not be influenced by critics who appear to be driven by United States propaganda, and I believe that certain news media organisations are misleading the Bahamian public about my country.Journalism should be about the truth, honesty, objectiveness, and non partisanship! Otherwise, some may think they are journalists. But they are not. And people who are not illiterate at the end of the road will make their own judgements. Nobody can believe that everything coming from a country, in this case Cuba, is bad as certain media in The Bahamas wants to make it.

Protect natural assets as the economy develops
I thank you for the fine recent articles by Mr Huggins on development in the Bahamas calling for an approach that recognises the need to integrate concern for the environment along with concern for a healthier economy. I have been following developments in particular in Guana Cay when I first learned about the plans for the large resort by the Discovery Land Company. I have been most interested in how citizens and officials concerned about such projects can have the earliest input as well as access to needed information to protect the larger public interest, a role the Sierra Club has played for over 100 years in protecting the larger public interest in securing the important natural resource base that sustains our livelihoods and protects the many important values of our wild places and respective inhabitants.
