Shame on this reporter. Say this how it was said. Stop lying and encouraging false accusations.

In My honest opinion the Best person that fits perfectly the profile for Island Governess is Ms. Akilah Levenstone.
I hereby humbly implore of You to look at the Life and Resume of Ms. Akilah Levenstone to be considered and selected Governess of Saba island Dutch territories.
Ms.Levenstone has for many years has been a strong spokes-woman for the benefit and development of her society in the island Saba. She is a person who cares and loves Saba’s resilient People from the bottom of heart. She has always been a forceful Voice of courageosness in leadership in standing up for the issues facing the wonderful People of Saba.
I do think the Office of island Governor deserves someone who would fully represent the Island people’s culture and even history patrimony.
I do further think Ms. Levenstone embodies all the cultural and historical essentials significantly to Represent Saba in full capacity in an honorable manner to the benefit and pride of the People of Saba.
Ms. Levenstone for more than 15 years served Saba outstandingly as the island Registrar! She has all the good common sense in the world to serve Saba’s wonderful People.
I considerably and meaningfully brought the name of this honorable native Saban Lady: Ms. Akilah Levenstone in the Radar of Excellence of the honorable Office of the Dutch Representative and Kingdom of Ministers in their judgement to be deemed worthy to serve in the honorable Office of Governess of Saba for their Valuable consideration and inspection.

This has nothing to do with sint maarten airport taxes .
Depending on where you are going it can cost between 10 to 35 usd, on the winaire ticket it was 60 usd this changes depending on the time of year you are traveling, last but not least international flight can go up to 200 usd for taxes
Please fact check before coming online.

The price has everything to do with competition,
There is only one airline going to these small islands, therefore they can make their own prices and get away with it.
When an airline is the only one giving these services. They are allowed to do what they want. If there were more options to get to these islands this will not happen.
Furthermore I think that island hopping in the Caribbean should be allowed and be affordable.
I mean in Europe (London to the Netherlands) you can travel back and forth for 100 euro or less in the off seasons. The flight is one hour by the way. Why can’t this also be happening in the Caribbean,

Maybe I should get swimming lessons to facilitate the trip. That would reduce the cost, but it is difficult to take the presents and food. There will be no supply boat for 3 weeks to Saba because of the holidays.
Taking the boat means a long trip on a small ferry over the Atlantic Ocean. Even the sickness Insurance does not approve the transport of their clients on the boat.

Just consider what we have to suffer because of these extreme costs.

This is because of sxm airport taxes had they booked a one way to sxm they would’ve pay 1 something. Most persons from EUX and SABA fly in on winair the catch the boat back to their home just to save on sxm airport taxes.

The acquiring of Dutch nationality gives the New Citizen full Rights and Protection under the Dutch Law and Constitution and full Equal access to Services Provided by the Dutch Government. A Dutch Citizen Born or Naturalize has also the same Equal Rights to Free Speech, express his Concerns or Opinión and The same Equal Rights to participate in Government elections as a candidate and to serve if elected! This is the True meaning of acquiring the Dutch Nationality!
Since we all share the same Valuable Dutch Nationality on all five 6 former Netherlands Antilles Dutch territories: Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, Bonaire, Aruba, Curacao. I invite the Leaders of All islands to support The Netherlands Antilles States Unión.
The Netherlands Antilles States Unión: should be design as a Unique distinctive Unión where through meetings and gatherings common issues are discussed within the Netherlands Antilles States Unión where common issues, needs and Concerns of the Soul of the people are addressed as a whole to Voice up together to the Netherlands!!! The Mother Country! I Will be developing This Netherlands Antilles States Unión! I Will be discussing it with the Dutch Representative of the Netherlands to see if I can get support and funding to develop the Netherlands Antilles States Unión as a Foundation design to help the most needy and vulnerable on all six 6 Dutch territories islands and save the Soul of the Islands!

Investing in Tourism by the Commissioner is a very resourceful audacious endevour! Commissioner Bruce Zagers and Commissioner Evitton Heyliger should continue to develop World class Tourism on Saba to make Saba the Treasure that it really is in the World!

I did not know that if you came to Saba from St Maarten……you are considered an “immigrant”. LOL !

Violence begots more Violence!!! This has to be Addressed!!

May Almighty GOD Guide our hearts and Minds in understanding the profound impact of treating people right and justly. We can not take Justice in our own hands!!! I feel deeply Sorry for what happen to Sheldon and also for his Wife, children, family and Friends!
Nonetheless, Violence begots more Violence!!! No one has the Right to take someone’s life!!! Because GOD is the Creator of Life!!!
On the Other hand No One has the Right to Beat People Brutalize and de- humanize another Human being in Group or Gang!!! Some Saba People were saying that This was done to the Shooter previously: because he is an Immigrant they did This because the Shooter is from St. Maarten, he is not from Saba or Raised on Saba! So, they took Advantage and Abused the Shooter physically previously! This type of mentality needs to be addressed!!! I hope that these Men who think This way see the Results of there Actions, of there Violence , it brought more Violence!!!
If The Shooter took these extreme Actions is because he felt emotionally compelled to do so through the hurt and pain he was feeling after being Beat and being let down by the Justice System on Saba.
I myself was once Beat on Saba: was a Victim of Violence, I went to the Police, nothing was done!
So, I know from experience This feeling of being let down!!! I did Not take Justice in My hands, I left it to GOD!!!
Every little Action – gives a reaction! You reap what You Sowe and only GOD Knows!!!
