12 years ago before 10-10, I saw this coming but always remember in God We Trust and No wrong can last 100 years! You are very brave to speak up on little Saba!!!! Saba was good to me in many ways but there is always room for improvement! I do agree with you on the part that help should be given first preference and greater assistance in all endevours to the local and native people but also foreigners and immigrants should be equally respected! I urge everyone not just on saba but all over the world to emancipate yourselves from mental slavery such as racism and nationalism are mental slavery!!!

A lot of realistic and good food for thought!

180 civil servants needed to serve a community of 1900 people (including kids and elderly persons)????? There must be something seriously wrong with the competence of these civil servants.

My parents thought me to get off my airconditioned chair before I could climb the ladder.

I observe also, that most of the businesses are run by non-native Sabans. No initiatives in the locals other than a job in the airconditioned government building?

But Sabans do rent apartments of often simple quality for extreme prices to ex-pats needed to support a healthy Saba community. What impression do they take home other than that of a beautiful island with trails maintained by Canadian volunteers?

Well written, and you have dotted All the i’s

I think George Orwell also said…”opinions are like rectums, everyone has one.”

Sherry…absolutely love your article about Saba. My wife and I have owned a second home on Saba for 34years. As with you, we love little Saba and her people too! Thanks for writing this!

DON’T PUBLISH WRONG AND INCOMPLETE PRIVATE OPINIONS ON SABA-NEWS

1. Why always those remarks about the airport runway?
2. There are five eco-systems / vegetation zones and not just three
3. Why complaining about deep snorkeling?
4. Not so much the locals are maintaining the trails but mainly Canadian volunteers
5. Pronouncing “Saba” as “Say-ba” is just a habit of English speaking
6. Mentioning JoBean Glass Art as art is incorrect and incomplete. The glass is craftmanship and above all there is so much high quality painted art that this should have been mentioned more on the foreground on the first place.
7. Why just promote Saba spice and lobster while there are some restaurants with also typical Saban recipes?
8. Why so much attention to Queens Garden’s Birds Nest and not to several other charming places for having dinner?
9. Why publish “panicking” about the road in a promotional article on Saba-News?
10. Why just mentioning Juliana’s hotel and claiming that it is the best place which is unfair to other (and better) hotels?
11. Why using a private article as promotion also because it is missing facts about the traditional cottages, about one historical center and three museums, about people’s history and background, about visible cultural history as a whole.
