Lime broadband complaint – I am writing to complain about my Lime internet service, or lack of it
Dear Sir/Madam:
Since December 2009 I have had sporadic internet access with some days it going off for 5 hours at a time. We do a lot of work on the internet & often we lose an important email or some work as the connection decides to go down at the very point you are sending off an email. We now have to do our emails in a Word doc or notepad so we can just cut and paste. This isn’t the way it should be. This is very frustrating and of course because Lime offer a dire service.

Grenadian Physician Dies in New York City
by Neals J. Chitan
As a teen growing up in Grenville to an Adventist family, we went to church in Soubise. Alister Thomas better known as John Thomas or Johnny Boy was intrigued by our music and youth programs and joined us in fellowshipping at the Soubise SDA Church.
Although, at that time, he was as old as we were, he did not finish primary school and definitely did not attend any high school. But coming into our church where we as O’level students were talking about biology and chemistry and so on, he was overtaken by a burst of

Former Energy Minister Gregory Bowen, who was involved in the negotiations with the Russian company, Global Petroleum Group (GPG), has been critical of the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration for up to now not granting an oil exploration licence to GPG.
"I'm not sure if Mr Bowen is qualified to talk about what's a legitimate

Using the Melville Street Basketball Court
St. George's, April 9, 2010 – One of the men responsible for negotiating an arrangement with the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) for use of the Melville Street Basketball Court is expressing frustration that the police are not fully living up to the deal.
