There needs to be a bylaw/ ordinance that requires these items to be removed. Non registered non insured vehicles must be removed from properties!! Not a big issue to make a new policy and ordinance!

The Hague Intervenes at Sacred Heart Primary School Following Board Mismanagement
While we are at it, let us also evaluate the Saba Comprehensive school as well. Lesson quality and teaching time is areas that needs to be evaluated if you ask me.

Winair cargo stoppage causing severe shipping delays, higher costs in Saba
This statement from Van de Velde is very distasteful. Winair is the big company because us, the small islands! If it were not for Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Barts, those 3 new ATRs would not have been possible! How about a little respect?! Airfare prices are already beyond ridiculous and now, the other service that contributes to the people of Saba livelihood, they want to get rid of too because it’s not making them enough money?! Make it make sense! The islands that supported and made Winair into what it is today, isn’t enough? Clearly Winair isn’t the respectable company it once was!

Winair cargo stoppage causing severe shipping delays, higher costs in Saba
Boy oh boy, here we go again. Small island, not profitable, so why extend a service? This is such an outdated argument that I am surprised that it is even mentioned. Between us cargo handlers and courier service agents, quite bit of cargo is moved on these small planes, it is really hard to believe that it is not profitable. Again Saba is pulling the shorter end of the stick because of its market being small – with the threat now that we will, even in the future, not be able to move our cargo on any of the 4x daily Winair flights. The alternative is way more expensive as both Windward Express and SXM Airways are basically charters and furthermore, they only come to Saba a few days a week and not 4x daily.
What about urgent cargo such as flowers from Holland, Chocolate, you name it. What about the businesses on the island that will now suffer the consequences of this decision? How come it is taking so long for Winair to get certified?
I cannot shake the feeling that this is revenge for not getting the subsidies that were extended from Holland to the Makana ferry. Is this revenge?
The apology also is too little too late and a bit hypocritical seeing the fact that I sent and email to Mr. vd Velde and Mr. Hodge asking questions about this situation. Not once did either one of them apologize for not having informed us on Saba or for the situation we now find ourselves in, Mr. vd Velde actually replied by asking to be taking out of the email correspondence that ensued. Not once an apology.
Furthermore, the local Winair agent on Saba had to hear from me that there was going to be stop to the transport of cargo. They did not even know about this until I sent a whatsapp asking questions on August 29th. I also informed SES about the situation that day, as they were not aware either.
So is this the price of living in paradise? When will we be able to change that? 10.10.10. certainly hasn’t!

Sabans oppose historical park becoming playground
Perfect! I would have liked to sign that petition also.
Especially on this moment where more attention is becoming paid to cultural heritage this playground plan is unacceptable.

PEP Councilman Every presents motion to name Saba streets after cultural icons
So far the current Monumenteneilandsverordening Saba 2010 has no meaning at all and this is just a cheap implementation without any real impact!
