Hubert Minnis said ( about Berry Islands ) : “When individuals are saying that the flare-up or the infections you are seeing in the Family Islands are a result of the election on the (September)16th, when you look at the science and individuals being exposed, infections do not manifest themselves for at least five to six days,”

Zane Lightbourne said ( about Berry Islands ) : “With the support of a PLP government, we will focus on renovating the dock at Morgan’s Bluff and upgrading our clinics and healthcare facilities. Our vision is to revitalize BAMSI (Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Science Institute) to offer new programs and new initiatives to benefit the local economy like a canary for farmers, develop a processing plant and provide opportunities for local and international export,” “With unemployment in North Andros & the Berry Islands at more than 60 percent, there needs to be greater opportunities for young persons in the community to have access to the tools needed to earn a living in new and innovative ways. Our plan looks at providing programs for young adults to learn new skills and use technology to build viable careers where they can operate a business from within the community”

Zane Lightbourne said ( about Berry Islands ) : “We want to make our community better, not watch residents grow bitter. The people are becoming frustrated. Every day, they are making huge sacrifices just to get by. The people of North Andros and the Berry Islands want effective leadership. They want to be heard and they want action. That’s exactly what I intend to deliver,”

We’re looking at statistics that have been extrapolated up to 2016, also last year’s data within the census, we have a lot of information, we’re not relying on the low registration numbers”

George Smith said ( about Berry Islands ) : “Everybody in the country feels deeply for West End, the other parts of Grand Bahama, the Berry Islands and certainly for the people in New Providence [impacted by the storm], but we are perfectly capable of having a convention in a shortened period just to do the things that are required —the election of officers, reports from the various holders of office, adoption of any reports necessary, any amendments to the constitution — so I think we should have a shorter convention and do the things constitutionally that are required of the party,”

Maria Carey said ( about Berry Islands ) : “My heart goes out to the people of Grand Bahama and North Andros who suffered direct hits from Matthew,” “While the storm missed us by barely 30 miles, we in the capital still experienced 145-mile an hour winds and roiling seas. The aftermath looked like a tornado ran across the island because of all the downed and toppled trees, but when you stop, take a deep breath and think about it, we were not just lucky. We were built like a fortress, and it paid off. When people look for a place to live, the first thing they think about is safety. And that can mean weathering a storm as well as other types of security. If there is a lesson to be learned, it is not to let up on any of the enforcement of the building code and to ensure that it extends to Family Islands where inspections, when they occur, tend to be a bit more lax. Maybe that will be the silver lining”
