  • From Jo Bean Chambers on Task Force installed for improving air travel in the Dutch Caribbean

    I have lived on Saba over thirty years and before that SXM. The SXM airport has been a very expensive hub for most of that time. It has teetered between inefficient and criminal with its use of Dutch finances. Winair has continually raised its prices and lowered its service to the smaller Dutch islands. Another task force? dozens and dozens of times people living on Saba have heard that the government is going to LOOK INTO IT! I am sure the task force will have a splendid time talking flight plans with each other and visiting each others islands. All we ask for is the same service that we had thirty years ago and reasonable prices for a 12 minute flight. I am very surprised government appears confused about the horrific drop in tourism over the years. There is lots off competition. In addition, local people here are far from rich. We wait for less stories and more results.

  • From Concerned Citizen on Police report of Monday, the 30th of January until Wednesday, the 1st of February 2023

    So we have a known thief who runs free because the police claim they can’t do anything about it. But someone has pot in their car and they get arrested. I’ve had to put up signs and security cameras all around and in my house because of the thief. Not because someone had marijuana in their vehicle.

  • From Henk Rombaut on Pilot approved to support local animal husbandry, fisheries

    Good plan to support local production for self sustainabilithy. Often we promoto and want to deliver a contribution to the socìety, but before the delivery gets done the food supplies the muscle, brains with fuel and vitamines break the stress down such we together life with commen sense, achieve better outcomes. For excample on a good balanced meal from diverse sources, the meeting is wel attended, the learners attention is more consistent. Agreements are better kepth.
    I follow the news about Saba for a while from this side of the continent. In my experiences of rural development fencing or poultry protection with proper build cages can be achieved with shade cloth.
    I stay in Kwazulu natal and its also hot here. i build some cooling fans for about 16 egg laying hens. Used 12 volt 1.5 amp fans. These are charged by mobile phone charger. Why? To keep the egg production somewhat going i cool the cooms and the body.
    As they wake up the intake of protien starts up to to heat the body temperature. Aldo its above the 27 degr celcius in the day and the Sun heats the body to. The intake took place because the body is cooled down so the egg has to be produced.
    Pellets are better than crushed food. Lower wast by serching hens that spread the crushed food beside the feeders.
    13 chicks produce an average of 50 – 60 eggs a week.
    Any questions please contact. +27 0724166875 whatsapp.

  • From Lewis `Cheap Flights` Linden on Saba, Statia at Vacation Fair

    Great article! But I would change a few things: -The population of St. Eustatius is not 4,000, it’s around 3,000. -The island is not 3 miles long and 1.5 miles wide, it’s actually around 3.5 miles long and 2 miles wide. -I would add that the island has a rich history, being one of the busiest trading ports in the 18th century.
