Dear Editor – The years are climbing slowly but firmly. We only realize the years are slipping away when the other ends. I am saying this because our beautiful Solomon Islands is still facing the same problems we faced many years back. Why can’t we address old problems and prepare to face new ones? Facing…
Dear Editor – Thank you Island Enterprises for the full page calendar in the Solomon Star last Friday. We the ordinary people do not get many things like that. Will you be publishing any more calendar soon as many of my friends and family want them, we did not expect it. J.R. WilliamsHoniara

They protected nothing as most infrastructures were destroyed and innocent lives are lost due to their criminal actions. Peace cannot be paid with…
Dear Editor – Allow me space in your newspaper to write and express my personal views in regard to the recent Christmas goodwill payments of $3 million made out by the government to ex. militants from both Malaita and Guadalcanal. While I highly appreciate the initiative and action taken by our present government to resolve…
