Marsh Harbour does not even have an X
ray machine. This means that if someone
has as simple an injury as a broken bone,
they must be flown to Nassau to get a cast
put on. In this day and age when our gov-
ernment says we are courting big develop-
ments and with the number of visitors we
have to the cays and to Marsh Harbour,
WE DESERVE BETTER. I have heard
around election time that there is a mini
hospital online for marsh harbour. This
needs to happen sooner rather than later

In praise of Bahama
Palm Shores firefighters
Dear Editor,
I want to thank the fire service volun-
teers of Bahama Palm Shores for their
stoic and relentless efforts to put out the
fires in our community over the past few
weeks.
We would certainly have lost our house
and possibly our pet dogs, too, had it not
been for their swift and competent fire
fighting skills.
On April 23rd my husband and I were
standing on the high decking surrounding
our house when we spotted flames rising
in the near distance in the bush directly
behind us. It was obvious that with the
high wind and nothing to break its path,
the fire was racing in a direct route to-
ward our home.
Within minutes concerned neighbours
had contacted Bruce Smith and Steven
Knowles to bring out the fire truck.
Meanwhile, the local men, receiving
news of the fast moving fire, rushed to
our house to supply extra lengths of hose
pipe, sprinklers and machetes.


Steve and Earl Bethel arrived on the
scene in a heartbeat and set to work with
chain saws in the high bush which sur-
rounds us with such speed, efficiency and
determination, the like of which one rare-
ly has the pleasure to witness.
With the arrival of the fire truck, im-
minent danger points were assessed and
appropriate strategies applied immedi-
ately. It was clear by now that we were
witnessing a fire storm, but despite that,
the men and Mrs. Lavonda, Smith, whose
calm and courageous work deserves com-
mendation, waded towards the roaring
flames with water hoses, ignoring the
heat, smoke and terrifying noise of the
fire.
Each person, under the calm and com-
petent direction of Mrs. Smith and Mr.
Knowles, knew exactly what to do. The
teamwork was superb, each man perform-
ing his task expertly and at top speed.
Jimmy Key, Frank Croft, Al and Chris,
members of the Marsh Harbour fire crew
and other willing helpers present at the
scene worked tirelessly throughout with
good humour and optimism. Needless to
say, through their brave and determined
efforts, our property was saved.
As newcomers to the community we
are truly amazed and humbled by the un-
wavering support and protection given so
freely by this volunteer service.
Thank you. You are truly fine human
beings, deserving of the highest praise
and respect.

Message to all drivers
Attention ALL Abaconians who don't
know how to drive properly!
I am tired of slamming on my breaks
just because you won't use your SIG-
NALS (you know the lever that lets the




S- Be




242-367-0350


person behind you know which way you
are turning). I was taught that you had
to turn on your signals 10 seconds before
turning.
I am also tired of going around another
vehicle because that vehicle wanted to
stop in the middle of the road to have a
conversation with the pedestrian.
We are a proud Bahamain nation. Why
do you present yourself in this manner. If
this were to happen in the USA, we would
be locked up. Why do we shame ourselves
to the other drivers on the road?
I'm also tired of letting everyone else
into the flowing traffic; but when it's my
turn, I'm never allowed to enter.
Should these people who are too old
that they can't see over the dashboard be
allowed to drive? I say not. Anyone over
65 should have to have a proper drivers'
test every six months. And more often if
they have been diagnosed with alzheim-
ers or Parkinson's disease..
I don't mean to disrespect my elders
for they have opened the roads for the
next generation, but there comes a time
when they have to yield to their safety of
the road.
I am so cautious when I'm driving I
can't even hold a conversation with my
children (whom I have strapped down to
the seat. That's another issue that needs
to be addressed by the Road Traffic De-
partment).
Please, Abaco, let's try to look, act
and be upstanding members of our com-
munity.
I won't even try to address the topic of
road signs not being used properly (that's
another issue, too).
YOU want respect. Then, at least, give
some back.

South Abaco News


Sandy Point
Parenting Seminar
By Tonya Ferguson
The Department of Social Services in
conjunction with the Ministry of Education
focused on children and deemed April as
child protection month. This year's theme
was Educate, Inform Child Abuse is
Wrong. In addition to a walk-a-thon, par-
enting seminars were planned.
On the evening of April 14 one of the
seminars was held at the James A. Pinder
Primary School in Sandy Point. Chief Wel-
fare Officer in Abaco, Mrs. Salomie Gib-
son, moderated the event. Among those in
attendance was Benjamin Pinder, Assistant
Administrator for South Abaco.
Presenters for the evening were Mrs.
Sandy Edwards, Department of Social
Services Education Officer; Dr. Sue Fair-
clough, psychologist at Auskell Medical


Centre; Pastor Erskine Wells, pastor of
the Assemblies of God, Sandy Point; Mrs.
Della Kelly, accountant with Baker's Bay;
Estelle Pinder, nursing officer at the Sandy
Point Clinic; and Police Officer Datus Far-
rington of the Sandy Point Police Station.
Though presenting individually, collec-
tively the group's message focused on the
responsibilities of parents. These respon-
sibilities included knowing what "parent-
ing" is: educating oneself on the effects
of drugs and how to deter children from
using drugs; God's instructions to parents;
effectively handling the family's income to
avoid family breakdowns which, according
to Ms. Kelly, is one of the leading causes
for divorces; healthy eating habits for the
entire family; and adhering to the law as it
relates to reporting child abuse.
The meeting was approximately two and
one half hours long and had an audience of
about fifty parents. Despite the duration of


the meeting, parents posed questions to the
presenters. Even after the meeting's clo-
sure, several parents remained to discuss
issues at length with chosen presenters.

Cherokee Sound

Record Amounts of Seaweed
People in Cherokee are remarking on
the huge amounts of seaweed that have
been arriving on our shores over the past
couple of weeks. Many are going to the
seaside to collect it to put on their gardens
as it makes an excellent fertilizer.
Power Outages
For whatever reason, BEC is cutting our
power almost daily Why?
Epworth Missionary Meeting
Epworth Chapel held its annual Mis-
sionary Meeting and Auction on May 3 on
the back porch of the manse. And although
the turn-out was small, it still realized over
$6,000 including the auction on Saturday
and Sunday morning's collection plate.
This sum was not actually a record, but still
deemed to be a very respectable amount
raised. Of course, additional donations are


still coming in from outside sources who
have had a past connection to the church.
Patrick Bethel handled the auction with
a little help from his assistants. The items
up for auction were homemade baked
goods from guava duff, pineapple up-side-
down cake, coconut cake, an apple pie,
lemon pie, coconut cream pies, chocolate
fudge, divinity and old fashioned coconut
cakes. In addition, there were lots of fresh
garden vegetables and fruits which all
raised record bids. But some of the highest
bids were for the hot fried conch fritters
done right on the premises and two very
delicious homemade ice creams made by
church members.
The guest speaker for the Missionary
Meeting held on Sunday morning was the
wife of the new Methodist minister, Sis. Pa-
trice Romer Joseph. Her sermon surrounded
the teachings of Malachi where he asks us "to
bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse."
The church board thanks all those who
came out or contributed to this year's Mis-
sionary Meeting as the monies raised will be
utilized in charitable work both at home and
abroad.


The Department of Social Services held a seminar in Sandy
is Mrs. Salomie Gibson, who moderated the meeting.

Sunfish and Optimists sailed in Marsh Harbour

Memorial Regatta.

This year's Homer Lowe Memorial Regatta was the 18th competition that attracted sail-
ors from Nassau, Grand Bahama and several communities on Abaco.

hosted this regatta for almost two decades in
memory of Mr. Homer Lowe, and in the past
few years we have been pleased at the renewed
interest in one design racing. With the ongo-
ing success in Hope Town of the Hope Town
Sailing Clubs' junior Optimist programme and
with Man-O-War Cay and Guana Cay also be-
ginning to give lessons to juniors, sailing looks
like it is enjoying a revival on Abaco. Since it
is our national sport, it is very encouraging to
see parents getting involved with their children
in such a healthy activity and one which they
can continue to participate in
throughout their lifetime.
In the Optimist fleet, 11
sailors competed on a triangle
course, two girls sailed respect-
ably, and the kids all had a fun
regatta. The top three spots i
went to the three visiting Nas- .
sau sailors. This will give our
Abaco kids something to shoot
for next year. First Place over-
all was captured hands down
by Danny de Cardenas with six
first place finishes. He was the
winner of the Inaugural Hugh
John Arthur Cottis trophy for
the top junior sailor in the Op-
timist class. Mrs. Sylvia Cottis
attended the trophy banquet and
presented the three junior tro-
phy winners with their awards.
Sunfish sailed windward/lee- Dwayne Walla

Coastal Awareness Week continues


By Jennifer Hudson
Continuing their partnership on Keeping
Our Coasts Clean, the Ministry of Tour-
ism and Friends of the Environment began
the second half of the month long Coastal
Awareness programme with a live radio
broadcast from Radio Abaco on April 14.
Ms. Bernadette Hall of the Ministry of
Tourism and Ms. D'Shan Maycock of the
Friends of the Environment spoke on the
theme of cleanliness which was initiated
during a previous live broadcast on March
3 land stated, "This is an action plan, not a
campaign." Ms. Hall announced that they
are partnering with the Governor General's
Youth Award programme, Local Govern-
ment, businesses and schools. She further
announced that a National Committee has
been imitated to bring awareness to gov-
ernment ministers.
The Hon. Zhivargo Laing has been ap-
proached about possibly reducing the duty
on environmentally friendly products such
as take out containers and energy saver
light bulbs. The Hon. Carl Bethel has been
asked to promote environmental education
in schools. The Hon. Larry Cartwright
was contacted to address the problem of


over fishing. The Hon. Tommy Turnquest
was asked to to oversee enforcement. Laws
are on the books regarding littering and
dumping but reminders and enforcement
are needed.
Ms. Maycock, Education Officer for
the Friends of the Environment, described
how they are trying to get schools involved
in looking after the environment and to
understand the benefits of it. "We need to
change the train of thought and train young
people in the trend of taking the initia-
tive as they will take over our country,"
she stated. A recycling campaign will be
started throughout all the Abaco schools,
both private and public, on September 1.
Students can begin collecting cans now for
this project. Although primary schools do
not sell sodas on the premises, students can
bring in cans from home and get neigh-
bours and businesses involved also.
Fox Town Primary School students be-
came so excited that they collected eight
bags of aluminum cans on the first day.
There is a category for both primary
schools and secondary schools and the win-
ner in each category will receive a prize of
$200 which will be donated by Paul Mills,

who will collect all the cans. "Aluminum
never breaks down in the environment and
must not be allowed to go into landfills,"
warned Ms. Maycock, who encouraged ev-
eryone to change their mindset as, "Each
can make a difference."
The Friends of the Environment, in an
effort to keep the environment cleaner,
is offering several suggestions that they
would like people to take note of.
They will provide garbage bins for any-
body who is having an event on the beach.
People just need to contact the Friends of
the Environment office.
They ask people to reduce the number
of plastic bags by using environmentally
friendly Green Bags. Over eight million
plastic bags were used on Abaco alone last
year and this presents a huge environmen-
tal problem. Customers could save in the
long run if more people would use Green
Bags. In the final analysis the cost of the


plastic bags is passed onto the consumer.
People are asked not to drop litter. Even
trash dropped in town ends up on the coast
as most areas are no more than a quarter
mile from the coast. Trash is blown to the
coast by the wind or carried there by ani-
mals. In the airport exit surveys visitors to
the island tell us that they don't want to
see the mess. "Clean up the trash and re-
move the debris," they say and they give
Abaconians the label of not being clean
people. Dropped garbage is dangerous as
it can cause forest fires and broken glass on
beaches can cause serious injuries.
Freeport is very clean in contrast to
Abaco. No garbage and litter is seen due
to the enforcement of laws. Vehicles car-
rying garbage to the dump must be covered
and will receive a fine if not. These laws
must be enforced on Abaco. Passengers

Emphasis is on cleaning up our environment


Awareness From Page 14
going by ferry from the Union Jack Dock
are dropping trash and causing a problem
in that area. They are asked to carry their
garbage a few yards and place it in the
dumpstern provided.
A beautification adoption program at the
recycling depot next to Maxwell's has been
initiated as a partnership between Friends
of the Environment and the Every Child
Counts School. The school has adopted
this project as their responsibility. Students
will clean and paint bins and will contin-
ued to take care of the area. It is stressed
that this is just a recycling depot and is for
aluminum cans only and not for any other
types of trash. Signs will be posted in both
Creole and English.
The Ministry of Tourism and Friends of
the Environment partnered with the com-
munity of Treasure Cay for a beach clean-


up on April 19 at which time bins and signs
were placed at the public beach. Sugges-
tions will be sought for improvements and
preventative measures for sustainable tour-
ism. "The goal is to identify problem areas
and find ways to fix the problems, not just
provide a Band-Aid. Island-wide clean ups
by communities and individuals are being
encouraged throughout this month and be-
yond. Large garbage bags can be obtained
from the Ministry of Tourism who will
pick up the filled bags if needed.
The Ministry will be taking awareness
presentations to all of the schools and will
make presentations to businesses to en-
courage them to participate in the Adopt
a Road programmmes. "These clean ups
are not just limited to this Coastal Aware-
ness Month," stated Ms. Maycock. Trash
bags can be collected at any time from the
Friends of the Environment for which they
wish to thank the sponsors. The sponsors

Ms. Hall mentioned leaflets that have
been printed stating five threats to the
coastal environment.
Pollution Garbage damages reefs and
sea life.
Climate Change Do not cut down all
the trees on your property. Trees provide
shade and consume carbon dioxide. Ev-
eryone is encouraged to plant trees. The
S.C. Bootle School has committed to plant
1,000 trees.
Invasive species The stray dog popula-
tion is taking over. Persons are asked to get
their animals spayed or neutered and can get in


touch with Humane societies for assistance.
Over fishing Respect the boundaries
of the parks and preserves. The Fowl Cay
and Pelican Cay parks are there to help us
by acting as replenishing zones which will
benefit both fishermen and visitors.
Habitat destruction Speak to build-
ers and land clearers and save some trees.
Never anchor vessels on a coral reef.
Mr. Silbert Mills has offered to put out
a powerful video highlighting the trash in
the environment in partnership with Radio
Abaco and Friends of the Environment.
Ms. Hall closed the broadcast with the
plea to everyone to KEEP it clean, not
just keep cleaning up!"

Fires raged throughout Abaco


By Mirella Santillo
From Crossing Rocks to Murphy Town,
a series of bush fires and structural fires
have sprung along the island in April,
keeping the firefighters working day and
night in Marsh Harbour and Casuarina
Point, permeating the island with the smell
of smoke.
A fire in an abandoned structure on Ca-
suarina Point developed on April 12th and
since then, said Mrs. Judy Albury, the dis-
patcher from Casuarina, it was nearly non-
stop for the rest of the month. That first
fire was put down, but soon after another
started near the Big Bird Chicken Farm and
spread south, reaching Casuarina the next
day, fueled by the wind and the dryness of
the vegetation. From there it jumped to the
back of the neem farm. On its way across


the highway, the fire destroyed fiber optic
cables, depriving the settlements of Chero-
kee and Casuarina of telephone service for
four days until technicians from Nassau
came to repair the cables.
At the same time, close to 20 power
poles burned down. On April 21st the
Marsh Harbour Fire Department had to be
called for help and it seemed that things
were under control after several hours of
fighting until two days later the fire broke
out in Bahama Palm Shores and again in
Casuarina. It took the firefighters eight
hours to put these fires under control. Af-
ter a few days' respite, on April 30th, the
fire started again in Bahamas Palm Shores,
spreading all the way to Crossing Rocks,
threatening Mr. Collie's equipment. The
fire department was there well into the


early hours of the morning trying to put
the fire out.
"When the firemen were not fighting
fires, they were checking to make sure they
were not smouldering and starting again,"
said Mrs. Albury, who added that as of
May 4th a fire was still burning around
Crossing Rocks."We are tired," she said,
"but thankfully, there were no injuries or
loss of equipment." The Casuarina Fire
Department comprise nine firefighters, but
residents of other settlements came to help.
"People came from Cherokee and as far as
Sandy Point", she gratefully mentioned.
Meanwhile in Marsh Harbour, Fire
Chief John Hall was fighting his own bat-
tles in several directions, around Spring
City, where the fire that started near the
farms had spread to the water plant which
had to be protected, and was continuing
north, nearly reaching the airport round-
about, igniting oil drums and destroy-


ing equipment at Albury's Trucking and
threatening Bahamas Hot Mix on the way.
Immediately after, bush fires were raging
on the ridge behind Maxwell's Supermar-
ket. Over 30,000 gallons of water were
required to control them, as they were get-
ting close to houses built on the ridge. At
one point, swimming pool water had to be
used to wet the ground around the houses
to prevent them from catching. Coppice
fires are harder to put out, explained Mr.
Hall. Coppice provides more fuel for the
fires including a root system that keeps
burning after the surface fire has been put
out. He mentioned that two days after the
fire on the ridge seemed to have been put
out, it started again.
In Murphy Town the Marsh Harbour
Volunteer Fire Department was called
three times during the last two weeks of

Please see Fires Page 20


A serious fire threatened two businesses near the Marsh Harbour airport. The fire did
minor damage to the equipment of Frederick's Trucking, burning tires and exploding a
drum. Many of our fires are fueled by piles of trash where lots were bulldozed leaving
a pile of trees. When these dry, they bum easily and very hot causing flying embers to
quickly spread the fire. The fire departments urge all property owners to clean debris that
can fuel these fires.

days later. Mr. Hall had to return there
on May 3rd to douse the smoldering ruins
which had resumed smoking.

were called to a derelict house which was totally engulfed in flames along with a vehicle
in the yard. Chris Hall tooks on the duty of back-up hoseman for assistant Fire Chief Rex

Besides being exhausting for the fire-
men, all these fires have put a tremendous
financial burden on these volunteers. Fire
departments that are supported by dona-
tions. "We have spent close to $1,500 on
fuel during April," stated Fire Chief Hall,
who added that the night of May 3rd to
May 4th was the first full night of sleep he
had in the last few weeks.
According to Mr. Hall, as of the end
of April, there had been 53 bush fires,
11 building fires and two electrical pole
fires in Central and South Abaco, nearly
as many as the total number of fires for
2007 (70).
It is not known yet how all these fires
started. They are being investigated by
Sgt Paul Johnson, who is a member of the
Royal Police Fire Service. The second po-
liceman in Marsh Harbour to belong to that
group is Officer Botin.

bury and his BarrAlbury
brothers and Barry
sisters and their families. He was prede-
ceased by his mother, Vernita Albury.


I Remember to
Buckle Up


The Regatta will be held in the waters off
Regatta Village at the Treasure Cay ferry
dock, the site of all previous regattas.
The regatta is being renamed the Ev-
erette Hart All Abaco Regatta to honour
the efforts of Mr. Everette Hart, Senior
Administrator of Central Abaco for sev-
eral years in the mid and late 1990s who
got the regatta started in 1997. The regatta
has traditionally had a Governor General's
race, but this will be renamed to be the
Hugh Cottis Memorial race in memory of
Mr. Cottis, who was a supporter for many
years of the regatta in Georgetown, Exu-
ma, and the All Abaco Regatta.
Government has committed to support
the regatta with a $35,000 payment. An-
other commitment was made by West At-
lantic Marine in Nassau for $5,000. It is
expected that the expenses will be about
$120,000. A payment of $7,500 will have
to be made to satisfy the participants of the
last regatta who were not paid the entire
amount due them.
The regatta committee is planning to
have two raffles to raise funds. One raffle
will be for a car which members will ex-
pect a donation of $20 per raffle ticket. If
they can sell 1500 tickets, this will give
them a big boost in raising the necessary
funding. The other raffle will be for a vari-
ety of merchandise and services.
The committee is also planning several
fund-raising events to finance this regatta.
The first will be a Steak-out followed by a

Rotary Club Sponsored
Sign Contest
By Jennifer Hudson
Thirteen schools from Central and North
Abaco participated in a Keep Our Island
Clean sign competition sponsored by the
Rotary Club of Abaco. The competition
was the brainchild of club member Mirella
Santillo, who acted as Chairperson assisted
by Jo-Ann Bradley and D'Shan Maycock.
The idea was born from the desire to see
our beautiful island kept cleaner, and it is
hoped that these signs will inspire all who
see them to stop littering and begin taking
more care of the environment. The signs
were judged on April 26 at the Friends of
the Environment office which was a very
appropriate date since it was the day fol-
lowing Earth Day celebrations. Earth Day
concluded Coastal Awareness Month dur-
ing which much emphasis was put on pro-
tecting our environment.
Students from the participating schools
gathered on two Saturday mornings during
April at Central Abaco Primary School to
work on their signs. Two schools that were
unable to attend on a Saturday worked at
other times on their own premises. Be-
tween two and four students worked on
each sign. On the front of each board
measuring four feet by two feet, the stu-
dents painted a picture depicting what they
thought would best get across the beauty
of our environment and the need to keep
it that way. On the reverse side they paint-
ed a "catchy" slogan intended to stick in
people's minds. These very attractive signs
will be mounted on posts and set along the
Capt. Earnest Dean Highway and the S.C.
Bootle Highway all the way from Sandy


Point to Crown Haven.
"Abaco Hardware donated the wood,
the Paint Shop donated paint and Price
Right and Abaco Groceries donated water
and snacks. Mr. Dexter Williams from the
Ministry of Works has agreed to provide
the labour to set the poles but poles, screws
and somebody to do the routing are still
needed," stated Mrs. Santillo, who ex-
pressed her appreciation to the sponsors.
A panel of six judges which included
the President of the Rotary Club of Ab-
aco, Bryan Thompson, artist Alton Lowe
who came from Green Turtle Cay, judged
the signs on design and artistic creativity.
Plaques will be presented to the first, sec-
ond and third place winners during special
school assemblies when members of the
Rotary Club of Abaco and Friends of the
Environment will be present. Mr. Lowe
commended the schools for their very
good effort and felt that four were really
outstanding. "They showed a great sense
of design and tremendous potential," he
stated.
Mrs. Lenora Black, District Education
Supterintendent, commended all of the
schools for their participation as well as
the teachers who had assisted. She praised
the organizers for seeing the need to raise
awareness for a cleaner environment. "I
hope that this will be of great benefit over
time and will change some attitudes and
encourage others," she stated.
Results are as follows:

Academy and Agape School. 3. S.C. Boo-

PULSE 2008 Brought
Large Group from Nassau
By Samantha Evans
The Church of God in Dundas Town
once again sponsored the annual youth
event PULSE the Heartbeat of the Next
Generation over April 24-27. Members
of Mission Baltimore from Christian Dis-
cipleship College were on the island to take
part in this youth event. The first set of
college students arrived here on April 7th
and the second group arrived a week later.
The total number of students to visit the
island and attend PULSE was 29. While on
the island, the group visited Every Child
Counts, the Mud, Pigeon Peas and Green
Turtle Cay where they conducted Vaca-
tion Bible School, played with the kids and
gave them medical supplies. The directors
of the group were Tim Houston and An-
neke Woods.
At PULSE, Mission Baltimore led an
explosive praise and worship session as
well as a skit that highlighted the impor-
tance of having a life preserver to keep
ones self safe from danger. Since this is
a Christian youth event, the life preserve
they are talking about is Jesus, who will
help them through the storms of life. Per-
formances were also rendered by Daugh-
ters of Royalty and Church of God Dundas
Town Praise Team.


The opening address was delivered by
Pastor Devon Rolle, who is a part of the
Barak Movement and pastor at a church in
Nassau. He began by saying that it is time
for youth to rise up and not be afraid to
give their testimony. Pastor Rolle stated
that too many adults are waiting until they
are 40 to serve God. He believes that this is
the time for youth to be used to reach their
peers because many adults are not reaching
them.
He noted that today's church is differ-
ent from the church of yesterday. They
are more concerned with titles, glitz and
glamour and being seen than they are with
reaching hurting people and serving God.
Too many pastors are into self glorifica-
tion and collecting the money the members
bring to church, and Jesus has been taken
out of the service. This is evident in the
amount of negative press that has hit the
church in the last four years. He stated that
the divorce rate in the church is up to 60
percent now while the divorce rate in the
world is still a steady 50 percent.
Ministers today have to ensure that they
stick with the Word of God so that they can
minister to the homosexual, the prostitute,
the diseased, the drug addict, and those
persons who are suicidal. Ministers must
have faith in what God says is true. Once
they do, they can help the hurting through
their pain so that they can learn better ways

to face their problems. Finally, he encour-
aged the young people to live for God. The
church is going through a change as a se-
rious revival is being born, he explained.
The remainder of the weekend was spent
with Pastor Rolle further ministering to
the youth, Ms. Daisy blessing them with
Christian comedy and Barak ending the
youth event in concert on Sunday evening.
New Vision
hosted conference
April 10, 11 and 12 brought Bahamians,
Americans and Haitians together at the
Grace Life International Conference held
in Marsh Harbour. Many pastors attended
representing at least seven local churches,
along with community members, vocal-
ists, praise teams and students, making this
three-day conference a truly ecumenical
gathering. Those present received the en-
couraging and educating truth of the vic-
torious, abundant daily walk with the life
of Jesus Christ as Galatians reveals, "I am
crucified in Christ, and I no longer live, but
Christ lives in me, and the life I now live

BNT Appointed Warden for Abaco national parks


The Bahamas National
Trust has engaged Mr. David
Knowles as the new Bahamas
National Trust Warden for
the national parks on Abaco.
Mr. Knowles is well known to
the Abaco community having
headed the Department of Ag-
riculture on Abaco since 1999.
Mr. Knowles is also a board
member of Friends of the En-
vironment, an Abaco-based
environmental NGO.
"We feel that Mr. Knowles
brings a wealth of experience
to the position. He has worked
with the BNT and Friends of
The Environment on wildlife
and conservation management
issues, specifically concerning
the Bahama parrot and inva-


sive species," stated Lynn Gape, BNT
Deputy Executive Director.
David has addressed concerns and is-
sues related to the management of the pine
forest in the absence of a forestry officer
for Abaco. He has been a leader in the
organization and implementation of vari-
ous meetings and workshops on the use
of fire as a management tool for conser-
vation and protected areas. The 20,500-
acre Abaco National Park encompasses a
large area of pine forest which is the pri-
mary breeding ground for the endangered
Bahama parrot on Abaco. Managing the
forest for wildlife as well as implement-
ing a strategic invasive species manage-
ment plan and education programme will
be just one of Mr. Knowles' tasks.

Eric Carey, BNT Executive Director.
"The Abaco National Park has amazing
potential as a recreational and educational
resource and we will be looking to David
to work with the people of Abaco so that
the resources in the park are protected
but able to be enjoyed and sustainably
used by the community."
Mr. Knowles' major focus will be
implementation of the management plan

ery Land Company, developers of
the Baker's Bay Golf and Ocean
Club at Great Guana Cay. The ini-
tial level of support is $200,000 an-
nually for the first three years with
the possibility of a second three-
year grant to follow. The Bahamas

to take an active role into preserving our

it became vacant. She was chosen by the

As executive director, she sees herself

wards and continues to grow financially

everything that is happening on Abaco.
She feels there is much to be involved
with from education, the main focus of
the organization, to recycling, a slowly
developing concept.
Educating the public about the fragility
of the environment and means to preserve
it is being carried out with instruction
taking place in the schools and in com-
munities for adults. The other points of
interest are marine preservation and sus-
tainable development.

First Caribbean's First
Woman Bank Manager
By Jennifer Hudson
In October of last year I wrote a story
describing the early days of banking on
Abaco. This was to celebrate the occasion
of the fifth anniversary of the merger of
Marsh Harbour's two oldest banks, Bar-
clays and the Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce to become First Caribbean In-
ternational Bank. Ms. Iris Henschell, Man-
ager of the bank, holds the distinction of
being the first Abaco-born manager of First
Caribbean Bank. From the
late 1950s until the 1980s
the Barclays Bank manag-
ers were always expatriate
men. Then in 1984 Mr.
Rupert Roberts became
the first Bahamian man to
become manager of Bar-
clays in Marsh Harbour.
Abaco's first woman
bank manager was Astrid
Stratton, who managed
Chase Manhattan Bank for
the entire time it was open
on Abaco, from July 1968
until it closed in 1979. It
was a full service branch
located where Com-
monwealth Bank is now
located. She had previ-
ously worked at Barclays
Bank for seven years, first Ricky Albury
working there under Pete farmer. He gr

ager of the bank that opened in 1959.
A few years later Judy Johnston re-
ceived the distinction of becoming the
first woman to hold the position of manag-
er of the Bank of Nova Scotia on Abaco.
She was attached to Scotia Bank, as it is
called today, which she had first joined in
1969. Originally, Mrs. Johnston worked
for Barclays Bank which she joined on the
same day as Mrs. Yvonne Key in January
1966. She worked there as secretary until
her transfer to Scotia in 1969 when that
bank first opened here.
Mrs. Johnson went to Nassau for train-
ing at her own expense and was attached
to various branches in the capital from

November to May, then returned to Marsh
Harbour as officer in charge. "Times
were different and I wanted to prove that
a woman could do the job, but it was a
long, hard struggle," she stated.
Mrs. Johnston has been retired for
some years now and spends her time en-
joying travel and volunteering. "The air-
port is my passion," she says, and she is
on the task force responsible for the recent
upgrade of the facility. Warren Albury's
daughter, Angelina, also became a man-
ager some years later.

BEC pushes road to

Wilson City shore


On April 24th the last portion of a five-mile road was cut through the pine forest to join
the Capt. Earnest Dean Highway to the shore at Wilson City, the old lumber mill settle-
ment dating from the early 1900s. The road was cut to facilitate the construction of the

poorest country in Africa, to help with well
repairs. Clean and potable water is an on-
going concern of Rotary International, es-
pecially in countries such as Zambia where
there have been outbreaks of cholera re-
cently. The well they were supposed to re-
pair supplied water to a school, but accord-
ing to Mr. Schweitzer, the most important
part of their trip there related to another
kind of health problems; 250 eye examina-
tions were performed on the locals by a Dr.
Sheller who was also visiting the area. The
people with vision problems were treated
and given glasses when needed.
Zambia is plagued with AIDS, and Mr.
Schweitzer and Mr. Walters were appalled


by the statistics concerning the population
of that country; among 11 million people,
10 percent are orphans, 80 percent are
younger than 15 years old and the average
life expectancy is barely above 30 years.
Their presentation at the Rotary meeting
showed pictures of their trip which took
them near Kitwe in the copper belt. They
were hosted by Rotarians from that city,
the third largest in Zambia, who took them
to visit a school for the deaf. They felt wel-
comed by the locals and interacted with the
children of an orphanage they also visited.
They were outfitted with clothes made out
of the country's flag and ate grasshoppers,
a local delicacy.
Mr. Schweitzer will stay on Abaco for a cou-
ple of weeks with friends in Little Harbour.

The E. Clement Bethel National Arts
Festival 2008 was held during the month
of March when the team from Nassau vis-
ited participating schools in the Family Is-
lands to view the talents of those students.
The theme for this year's festival was Ex-
ploring the Arts. Artists and craft persons
were free to chose any festival arts media
to share their ideas. The work that was en-
tered displayed creative, innovative work
that showcased the Bahamian cultural heri-
tage.
The qualifications to enter were that


persons should be five to 18 years to en-
ter the Youth Section of the National Art
and Craft Exhibition and that those persons
over 18 had to enter the adult category.
They all submitted arts and crafts work
within their particular age category as stip-
ulated. Another category catered primarily
to adult artists, craft persons, college stu-
dents and members of community cultural
organizations.
The arts and crafts talents were adjudicat-
ed from March 12-14th at various schools
across Abaco. Ms. Keva Cartwright and
her team visited five schools including Ab-

Festival's theme emphasized Loyalist heritage

Green Turtle held 5th Annual Island Roots Heritage Festival

is the plaiting of the Maypole. These beautiful girls are ready for the challenge of ',.*Ilddy plaiting it all the way and then reversing
their plait that they have perfected through practice. The festival had many new attractions appealing to adults and children alike.
The two-day event draws people from all communities and from other islands to enjoy the ambiance of the festival.


By Samantha V. Evans
The fifth annual Island Roots Heritage
Festival in Green Turtle Cay opened on
May 2nd at 12 noon with an opening parade
of characters many of which came from
Florida for the occasion. Prime Minister,
the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham, officially
opened the festival late in the afternoon.
He was so happy to see so many visitors
to Green Turtle Cay. This event is truly
a Green Turtle Cay community event. He
stated that they have his full support, and
hopefully he will be back next year. He of-
ficially declared the event open.
Sir Peter Anderson of the Conch Re-
public of Key West, Florida, and Mark
Rossi, the City Commissioner, presented
Prime Minister Ingraham with a silver coin
and a Conch Republic courtesy flag and
declared him a goodwill ambassador to the
Conch Republic. Welcoming all to the fes-
tival was Mr. Theophilus Cox, Adminis-
trator for North Abaco, who stated that this
festival is one of the signature events of the
Ministry of Tourism because it brings so
many groups of people together.
The theme, The Bahamas: the Jewel of
the Crown, was fitting for this event espe-
cially since The Bahamas has a rich con-
nection to the United Kingdom. Addition-

ally, the festival allows the unique culture
of The Bahamas to be shared with visitors
from all around the world. On hand to en-
tertain the attendees as only they can was
the Royal Bahamas Police Force Marching
Band who wooed the crowd with great Ba-
hamian music under the leadership of Di-
rector Andrew Hunter.
Charity Armbrister, Family Island Ac-
tivities Coordinator of the Ministry of
Tourism, stated that this festival highlights
the heritage and culture rooted on this Fam-
ily Island. The Heritage Festival is of the
highest standard with an educational and
cultural component thanks to Karen Mcln-
tosh and her hard working committee. Ms.
Armbrister was very impressed by the ca-


maraderie and support of the community
and the administrator.
Amy Roberts Primary School performed
a Bahamian poem called Nough Said that
ended with a dance routine to display their
Bahamian pride. Minister of State for Cul-
ture, Mr. Charles Maynard, stated that the
people of Green Turtle Cay should be very
proud because the festival spirit could be
felt from the time visitors arrived on the
dock at New Plymouth. He was so im-
pressed that he may even create a special
Festival Pride Award to give to the orga-
nizers of this event next year.
Before the ceremony came to an end,
Karen McIntosh thanked everyone for cel-

The Royal Bahamas Police Force Marching Band is always a thrilling experience. It
comes every year for the Island Roots Heritage Festival. The police are shown here
marching to Centennial Park where most of the activities take place. They played on both
days of the Festival.


The Prime Minister enjoyed his time at the Festival and commented briefly on how well
the town had organized the event. He was impressed with the number of visitors who
were attending. He is shown here enjoying a joke- i itil Mrs. Karen McIntosh, Committee
Chairman, was at the podium. Mr. Edison Key, MP for South Abaco, in on the right.

them. She is truly thankful to the small
community of 450 people who all come to-
gether to plan an event for thousands. She
gave special thanks to all of the support-
ers, the Ministry of Tourism, and the hard
working committee. The police marching
band gave another stellar performance and
the young ladies of Green Turtle Cay under
the direction of Annabelle Cross plaited the
Maypole.
A variety of activities was scheduled
that entertained and educated. Many al-
lowed the visitors to participate in games
and competitions. Old time games were
played, a hoola hoop championship was or-
ganized, demonstrations and informational
talks kept everyone happy.


Students from several schools were
present including Central Abaco Primary
School, Long Bay School and Bishop Mi-
chael Eldon Anglican School from Free-
port, Grand Bahamas. Students took part
in tug-of-war and watched the sword fights

cluding conchy conch salad and fritters
prepared by food vendors. The students
enjoyed the toys and desserts, touring the
island, visiting the local museum, and tour-
ing Reef Relief.

headed by Queen Victoria and the West
Coast Buccaneers headed by Queen Eliza-
beth I. Also attending were Lady Con-

New features included teas with royalty


I- pi .........- UII mN -
One new feature of the Island Roots Heritage Festival this year was the offer of having
tea with either Queen Elizabeth I or with Queen Victoria. The tea was held in the dining
room of the New P ii, 'mui Inn that has ,/ c,aul reopened. It is the oldest resort on Abaco
and was originally a home. It has been closed since 2004 when Hurricanes Frances and
Jeanne damaged the buildings extensively. The teas proved to be very popular.


Island Roots From Page 4

Sweeting from Sandy Point and Marcella
Dean from Nassau joined the festivities
for the first time this year selling hand-
made jewelry and artwork. Also display-
ing at the festival from other islands were
Marianna Colebrooke from Andros, who
makes beautiful straw work, shell and co-
conut jewelry, and Gwendolyn Laing from
Grand Bahama, who displayed her crafts
and other goods.
Food, food and more mouth watering
cuisine and drinks were on sale for all to
enjoy. The Native Crew, the Down Home
Gals, Soul Sisters, and Three Sisters pro-
vided the most scrumptious food available
on the island. Once guests had eaten the
conchy conch fritters, the peppery conch
salad, the jerk chicken, fish and peas n'
rice, Vito Russell's Liquid Ice and Daiquiri
Delight, Curry's Corner Bar, and The Sun-
set Bar were there to quench their thirst.


There was surely enough food available to
entice any palate and sufficient drinks to
meet the needs of all ages.
There was a lighthouse history booth that
provided information on the British legacy,
Green Turtle Cay history, celebrations and
hard working community, and history of
all of the Governor Generals of the Baha-
mas. The information provided was able to
show how this rich legacy has contributed
to the development of Green Turtle Cay,
and the hard working spirit that can be seen
in its people.

Cultural Talks at GTC Heritage Festival 2008


By Mirella Santillo
The Green Turtle Cay Heritage Festival
took place the first weekend in May. This
year, the weather was cool and windy,
but it did not prevent people from crowd-
ing the fair ground on Friday to enjoy the
many attractions, the merchants with their
crafts, the games, the music and the food.
As usual, besides entertainment for the
senses, there was also cultural entertain-
ment. People inclined to learn about Abaco
could attend presentations at the Admin-
istrator's office. A series of talks from
knowledgeable Bahamians such as Mr.
Ricky Johnson, Mr. Darius D Williams or
Mr. Richard "Blue" Jones, or from people
connected to The Bahamas and particularly
Abaco for many years, Ms. Sandra Riley
and Mr. Bob Carr, enlightened the curious
about the history, the archeology and the
fauna and flora of the island.


gua had powered trains. On the remaining
islands they were pulled in most cases by
donkeys.
The construction of railroads was linked
to economical endeavors such as timber,
sisal and in the case of Inagua, salt. On
Abaco railroads were built at the beginning
of the 1900s at Wilson City to transport
logs; there are still remains of the tracks
there. Railroad tracks can also be found in
the Norman Castle area in North Abaco,
on Little Abaco near the former sisal plan-
tation and at several locations where there
were sawmills.
Skeletons from a cave
prove interesting
The following day an archeologist from
Miami, Mr. Bob Carr, who conducted in-
tensive research on Eleuthera at Preacher's
Cave two years ago, further elaborated on


his discov-
eries. Mr.
iCarr made
Sd t a presenta-
tion on his
findings last
year at the
Festival, but
at that time
Archeologist Bob Carr the results of
all the analy-
sis and tests had not been compiled. This
year he was able to confirm evidence of
Indian presence on Eleuthera by 668 AD,
a few hundred years earlier than presumed.
The fact was established by testing the re-
mains of three Indian bodies found in the
cave, one of them identified as a woman
who was buried with a triton shell in her
chest. Another of the bodies was that of a


man buried belly down, hands tied behind
his back and the head missing. Was he a
murderer or a sacrifice victim? The an-
swer will never be known, but the discov-
ery gives us an inkling of these people's
customs.
The cave was also used at a much later
period by the survivors of the Eleutheran
Adventurers. A group of people from
Bermuda were shipwrecked at the Devil's
Backbone near that cave and they used it as
a shelter. The body of a baby buried there
was DNA tested. The results showed evi-
dence of a dwarfism syndrome that is pres-
ent in only three places in the world: Leba-
non, Equador and Spanish Wells. Again
more questions were raised concerning

Please see GTC Talks Page 8


Railroads

were on
several is-
lands
The first speaker, a
native of Rock Sound,
Eleuthera, Mr. Darius
D Williams, made a
presentation on the
railroads in The Ba-
hamas. Author of The
Rail Road and History
of The Bahamas, Mr.
Williams has been a
resident of many of the
Family Islands, includ-
ing Abaco where he
lived in Sandy Point for
a year. He mentioned
that there were railroads
on nine islands, four of
them, Andros, Abaco,
Grand Bahama and Ina-


The Island Roots Heritage Festival had several very interest-
ing speakers who talked on topics related to Abaco's history
and environment. The talks were held at the Administrator's
office. S/',i, on the left is Mr. Darius Williams, who has
done extensive research on railroads in The Bahamas and
their significance. Ms. Sandra Riley is a historian, who has
written Homeward Bound, a history of Abaco. And Ricky
Smith is an environmentalist, who is now resident on Abaco.
He talked about the eco-systems on Abaco.

the possible link between these locations.
However, the certainty that Spanish Wells
people are the direct descendants of the
Eleutheran Adventurers was established.
Mr. Carr worked on Abaco several years
ago on a dig at Carleton, the site of the first
Loyalist settlement on our island.
Eco-systems
are described
On a lighter note, the next presenter, Mr.
Ricki Johnson, a nature and bird-watching
guide, talked about the five eco-systems of
Abaco. From the invasive Casuarina for-
est behind which is found the white land
coppice, home of the land crabs, to the
mangrove and the pine forest, he took us
through each habitat, explaining its role
and the animal life it sustains. The coppice,
because of the moisture it produces is home
to many bird species and native orchids.
"The mangrove belt that used to be called
the Waste Land," said Mr. Johnson, "is
one very dear to me." Hundred of things
are going on there. Besides being a nursery
for marine creatures, a place where they
can escape from the wading birds which
also live there, the mangroves stabilize the
coast line and act as a filter of the water
flowing into the ocean. The fourth eco-sys-
tem he mentioned was the rocky coppice,
home of the fiddler crabs, the puffer fish
which feed on them and the blue-gray gnat-
catcher, a tiny little bird that lives in the
thorn bush growing on the rocks. Last, but
probably the most abundant on Abaco, was
the pine forest, once used for timber.


History of
the Loyalists
Author of Homeward Bound, a history
of Abaco and Sisters of the Sea, a novel
about the two famous female pirates, Anne
Bonney and Mary Reed, Ms. Sandra Riley
was the next speaker. She made a brief re-
capitulation of her book Homeward Bound
to a room full of people, concentrating on
the arrival of the first Loyalists on Abaco
who founded Carleton and their tribula-
tions during the harsh first years of their
settling. After the war of Independence
in America was lost, the Loyalists left in
the United States regrouped in New York,
but had to leave when that city fell. Abaco
was an undeveloped island of The Baha-
mas which was already the home of many
Loyalists, notably in Nassau, on Harbour
Island and Eleuthera. The island was sup-
posedly advertised in the New York news-
papers as a destination and several ships
loaded with Loyalists and free Blacks left
New York bound for Abaco.
Ms. Riley has conducted detailed re-
search in the United States, Great Britain
and The Bahamas to compile information
for her books, so her presentation was laced
with many anecdotes and stories on people
and facts long forgotten. She informed the
audience that she was no longer doing re-
search but had become a playwright and
was in the process of finishing a film which
will premier in the fall about the Lucayan
Indians at the arrival of the Spaniards.
Bush medicine garden
Located in a peaceful setting at the
back of a former Loyalist home in a large
backyard is an enclosed special garden,
not a vegetable or an herb garden, but a


medicinal plant garden. It is Mr. Richard
"Blue" Jones' bush medicine plot. There
Mr. Jones made a presentation to a group
of interested listeners. He spoke about the
medicinal plants found in the Amazon used
in modern medicine and the mention in the
Bible of using plants for curing ailments.
However, his presentation turned nearly
metaphysical when he stated. "There are
times when medicine will not be found
in plants but from a pleasant mind." He
insisted on the power of positive thoughts
and words and ended his talk by quoting
"Pleasant words are like a honey comb,
sweet to the soul, healing to the bones."
After the presentation, he invited people
to visit the garden and to ask for informa-


tion on the various plants growing there:
papaya, bay cedar, bay geranium, aloe,
lignum vitae, dandelion, shepherds needles
and many more. We learnt that bay gera-
nium was good for colds, rooster comb for
cuts and skin abrasions, that papaya leaves
could be boiled and drunk for high blood
pressure or put on the skin to heal sores
and that dandelion was an air purifier.

opened two years ago was the genealogy
research booth where an expert, Mrs. Joy
Lowe-Jose was in attendance trying to link
Bahamians and visitors to their ancestors.
Each year more and more people are in-
terested and many have discovered lineage

never suspected. Thanks to DNA testing,
these links have been traced not only in

Energy efficient tips
With electricity costs rising, electric
bills can be reduced by efficiently use.
Replace all incandescent bulb with
compact flourescen bulbs. They cost more
initially but they use 66 percent less energy
and last up to 10 times longer.
Clean or replace filters on air condtion-
ers monthly.
Seal cracks where cold air condi-
tioning can escape. Use weatherstripping
around doors
Use cold water rather than hot water
to wash clothes.
Turn the air conditioning thermostat
up two degrees.
Shade your windows with trees or cur-
tains on the south and west exposures to
keep out the heat.
Insulate the pipes from your water
heater.

Murphy Town
Playground and Computer
Center are dedicated
By Mirella Santillo
Murphy Town dedicates a playground
and a computer center in Central Abaco
for the children of the community, Next
to the running track and the soccer field in
Murphy Town located near Abaco Central
High School, there are now young children
playing on slides and swings in an enclosed
area of Murphy Town Park. Sponsored by
local government, the new playground was
built for the children of that community. In
the early evening of April 22nd the play-
ground was officially dedicated during a
ceremony attended by local officials, resi-
dents and children.
The Town Committee Chairman, Mr.
Cubel Davis, opened the ceremony and


Senior Administrator Cephas Cooper con-
gratulated Mr. Davis and his committee
for finding ways to keep the young people
occupied. He was pleased to see that the
area was secured with a fence and that a
covered gazebo, under construction, would
allowed adults to relax while the children
were playing. He urged the children to take
good care of the equipment and to keep the
park clean. Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness he reminded the assembly.
The blessing of the playground was per-
formed by Bishop Roland Swain Sr., one
of the oldest residents of Murphy Town
who asked God to keep the place safe and
peaceful for the children.
All the participants drove up the street to
the Burial Society for the second ceremo-
ny. There, a Homework Center has been
set up with six new computers reserved
for children to help them with homework


and online research. Mr. Davis explained
that the idea came to him as he was going
home one night and saw children riding
their bikes in the dark without lights and he
thought something should be done to keep


them out of the streets.
The center is not quite finished. "There
are still last minute things to do," he said,
Please see Central Page 12


Part of the Burial Society building in Murphy Town has been walled off to form a Com-
puter Center where students can do their homework and use computers. Administrator
Cephas Cooper is showing students how useful the computers can be to them.


Murphy Town has constructed a playground that was dedicated on April 22. It is located
at the Murply Town park and is secured with a fence. Bishop Roland Swain, left, asked
God's blessing on it.

Mr. Cooper reiterated his pleasure to

praised the communities of Dundas Town

Murphy Town Upgrades
By Mirella Santillo
Slowly Murphy Town is getting the
settlement together, installing more gar-
bage containers, organizing garbage pick
up, enlarging roads, installing road signs
and generally taking more care of the com-
munity.
Just before last Christmas, a long await-
ed garbage receptacle was placed, approxi-
mately half way to Great Cistern for the res-
idents of that area west of Murphy Town.
The dumpster has been emptied regularly
twice weekly since then. In March the
road to Great Cistern was widened a few

are being cleared of the incredible amount
of garbage that had accumulated, and two
cabanas were built during the last week of
April, a prelude to more construction that
will include restrooms and the restoration
of the existing structure. One dumpster has
been donated by Bahamas Waste Manage-
ment, and an additional one has been rented
by local government from E&D to support


the cleaning project. When the cleaning
is finished, the creek restoration will start
with culverts installed to increase the flow
of water. Many water birds are already
visiting the area that is marked not only as
a gathering place for locals but also as a

School science displays marked Earth Day


Earth Day From Page 1
for this year was The Effects of Climate
Change on Small Island Developing States
and was sponsored by the Friends of the
Environment, the Ministry of Tourism
and Standard Hardware.
Schools approached their projects in a
variety of ways, some showing extensive
environmental work in removing a net
from a reef, cleaning beaches and com-
piling handouts for tourists to be placed in
hotels informing about the reefs and how
to protect them. Others set up various ex-
periments and one school constructed a
solar cooker. Some of the senior schools
compiled very interesting and informative
computer presentations while one of the
primary schools had a basketful of little
cards they had colored and laminated
for people to put up on their rear view


mirrors as reminders to use their environ-
mentally friendly Green Bags.
The number of different ways each
of the schools devised to put across the
effects of Global Warming was amaz-
ing and all had compiled attractive and
artistic displays to show their findings.
One of the high schools came up with the
idea of interviewing students to ascertain
their attitudes towards and knowledge
of climate change and discovered that
70 percent had heard about it and could
define climate change, 50 percent knew
its impact on the environment and were
aware of some solutions while 30 percent
were aware of how to reduce its effects.
Groups of students were on hand at many
of the exhibits eager to share their knowl-
edge with visitors.
The displays were judged by a panel
of six judges which included educators,


environmentalists, an artist and a repre-
sentative from the Ministry of Tourism.
The results were as follows:
Upper Primary 1. Hope Town School
2. Cyber Learning Center 3. Man-O-War
Primary
Lower Primary 1. Hope Town School.
2. Cyber Learning Center 3. Man-0-War
Primary
Senior High 1. Abaco Central High
School 2. S.C. Bootle High School 3.
Agape Christian School
Junior High 1. Forest Heights Acad-
emy 2. Cyber Learning Centre 3. Man-
0-War
Depending on the category, win-
ners received plaques made by Stephen
Knowles, bags of environmental products
from Standard Hardware and recycling
bins donated by Paul Mills.
The formal part of the morning's pro-
gramme opened with a prayer by Youth
Pastor Chris Pinder followed by a wel-
come and opening remarks presented by
D'Shan Maycock, Education Officer for
Friends of the Environment. Ms. Maycock
informed the students that Earth Day was
begun in the 1960s to engender an aware-
ness and appreciation of the environment.
It is celebrated globally on April 22 each
year but on Abaco it is celebrated on the
last Friday of April, having been initiated
here in the early 90s. She mentioned the
pleasing increase in number of schools
entering displays this year and recognized


the large attendance of schools even if
they had not submitted an entry.
Junior Board Member Elaine Fenelus
introduced the keynote speaker, Mr. Je-
rome Elliott, who is a member of the
National Climate Change Committee,
National Coordinator for the Greenhouse
Gas Inventory and President of the Ba-
hamas Society of Engineers. Mr. Elliott
congratulated the students who, he had
discovered, know a lot about climate
change, and he presented a very compre-
hensive Power Point presentation to his
audience. He began by clarifying the dif-
ference between climate and weather by
stating, "Climate is what we expect and
weather is what we get," and then went
on to describe climate change and ways
in which we can assist.
"Climate change operates over decades
or longer; the past 10,000 years have been
relatively stable but that is now changing.
The IPPC (Integrated Pollution Preven-
tion Control) which is an intergovern-
mental panel on climate change, realized
that something is happening around the
world which will change our lives. Global
warming is unequivocal and human acts
are the main driver of this warming. The
IPPC has stated that in the future there will
be an increase in both the frequency and
intensity of storms. There will be a rise

Please see Earth Day Page 19


Students of S. C. Bootle High School won second place with their display. Thirteen schools
competed and the displays showed much research and creativity. The guest speaker for
the event spoke about climate change and how critical it is for everyone to conserve and
develop habits that help our environment.

New Programmes Planned for Hope Town Museum


By Jennifer Hudson
The Wyannie Malone Historical Muse-
um in Hope Town is one of only two mu-
seums on Abaco, the other being the Albert
Lowe Museum on Green Turtle Cay. The
Hope Town museum was founded in 1977
and opened in Harrington Albury's house,
a typical Bahamian house adjacent to the
site on which it now stands in order to
tell Hope Town's story. A few years later
it moved into a home opposite the Hope
Town Harbour Lodge which is alleged
to be the oldest building on Elbow Cay.
The museum is now housed in a building
specifically constructed on the corner just
north of the upper public dock, built in the
style of an old Loyalist house.
A large two-storey addition was recently
added to the original one storey building,
more than doubling it in size. This neces-
sitated a mortgage of $100,000 which the
museum committee is working to pay off.
Twenty thousand dollars has already been
raised within the past three months from
a brunch and art auction and an ongoing
project to raise money through the sale of
"lighthouse stripes." A board just inside
the library contains many cutouts of the
candy-striped lighthouse, and people are
asked to buy a stripe for a certain donation
or a whole lighthouse can be purchased.
Once an entire lighthouse is purchased, it is
"lit" with gold sparkles. Three are already
glowing and a fourth is well on the way to
being "lit." The museum is funded entirely
by donations. Once the mortgage is paid
off, then the committee is looking forward
to being able to expand its outreach and
also have more resources.
The museum houses many interesting
exhibits and artifacts including boat build-
ing, sponging, rope making and genealogy


with a video presentation for those who
want to delve deeper into Hope Town's
Loyalist history. The new addition has pro-
vided space for a bedroom, birthing room
and parlour to be laid out exactly as they
would have been in Loyalist times which
gives a real authentic feel to the exhibits.
An amazing shell display has been created
by local artist Teleri Jones using all shells
native to Abaco. A popular display with
children is the Pirate Room. School group
tours lasting 30 to 45 minutes with a guide
can be arranged by calling ahead.
In order to engender more community
involvement in treasuring and preserving
their heritage and to kindle a greater en-
thusiasm for the museum, a committee has
been formed which is enthused with many
ideas. Several new programmes are in the
planning stages. The committee consists of
Chairperson, Suzanne Bethel; Vice Chair-
persons, Lucille Russell, Candace Key,
Chester Thompson and Debbie Patterson,
who is also Treasurer. Several consultants
oversee various areas of the work: Ray
Brown Publicity and Marketing, Bonnie
Hall Exhibits, Education and Schools;
Teleri Jones and David Webb Exhibits;
Linda Cole Genealogy and Presentations;
Joette McCully Shop. The committee is
presently working through a transition pe-
riod since the former curators, Tony and
Elaine Bennett, returned to their native
Canada. They were extremely involved in
the museum and played a huge part in get-
ting the museum to where it is at today.
They are greatly missed but are still help-
ing in several ways, one of which is pub-
lishing a newsletter.
The new programmes being initiated in-
clude:
Salvage anthropology for the preserva-


tion of the cultural history involving both
documents and oral histories. It is recog-
nized that so many of the older people who
have much history of the settlement and its
people stored in their memories may not
be around much longer and so it is vital
to record these memories before they are
lost forever. Linda Cole was praised for
her painstaking work in taking over the
genealogy from the McAleers, who first
began working on it. She has been corre-
lating, adding updates and information and
overseeing a DNA programme. One of her
major tasks is trying to trace the mystery of
who was Wyannie Malone's husband?
Physical preservation is another is-
sue and assistance has been offered from
Nassau. Dr. Keith Tinker, Director of the
Antiquities, Monuments and Museums
Corporation, has offered to send someone
to help set up a small preservation lab for
artifacts.
Getting children involved is an important
programme. "It is vital to have the young
people aware that this is their heritage and
it all belongs to them," stated Bonnie Hall.
"We have a strong desire for a greater in-
volvement with the young in the commu-


nity. One of the ways we are discussing to
get children involved is to have them bring
in a relative and interview them on tape."
It is hoped to have student interns in
the summer either from the local school
or from the United States or Great Britain
acting as docents or working on preser-
vation projects. A promising source, it is
suggested, may be students at universities
studying museum curatorship.
A cemetery project is underway headed
by Mrs. Hall, who is pleased that her 11-
year-old son, Albert, has shown an interest
in this and is assisting by photographing
graves and head stones for her. "Hur-
ricanes and environmental damage have
wiped out many of the markers and a lot
of records have been lost," she stated. Re-
cords from the Burial Society which were
stored by Vernon Malone in his grocery
store were burned during the fire at his
store in the early 1980s and others were
lost in Marsh Harbour floods after records
were moved there when Marsh Harbour
took over from Hope Town as the capital
of Abaco. Bonnie has begun identifying

in global average temperature between
1.5 and 6 degrees and a rise in sea level
of between 11 and 77 centimetres which
will continue to rise for decades even after
greenhouse gases have stabilized.
"The observed trend in the Bahamas is
that over the past 100 years rainfall in Nas-
sau has decreased by 4.2 inches but since
1959 it has increased. Over the past 100
years temperatures have risen on average
3.5 degrees and the mean temperature for
July has risen 4.8 degrees.
"The Bahamas' contribution to green-
house gas emissions is negligible BUT we
are extremely vulnerable to global climate
change as 80 percent of our land mass is
situated within 1.5 metres of sea level.
"The potential impacts of climate change
in the Bahamas are
* Marine ecosystems will be adversely af-
fected (coral reef bleaching)
* Terrestrial ecosystems such as forests
will be affected
* Water resources (change in soil moisture
and crop yield)
* Fisheries (habitat loss so fish will leave)
* Coastal resources erosion, saline intru-
sion, flooding
* Infrastructure and settlements more vul-
nerable to natural disaster
* Human health heat strokes, skin dis-
eases
* Stronger storm surges
* Increase in fish toxins so danger of food
poisoning
* Increase in climate sensitive diseases
such as malaria, dengue fever and asthma
* Population displacement
Mr. Elliott then explained to his young


listeners that to mitigate something is to
lessen it and he suggested some greenhouse
gas mitigation strategies.
Construction of barriers to keep the
sea away from the coastline
Move away from the coast
Sustainable development planning
Develop new legislation with new
standards and building codes
Improve public education and aware-
ness programmes
The students were then shown a list of
ways in which they themselves can help re-
duce greenhouse gas emissions.
Use less energy. Turn things off when
they are not in use such as light bulbs and
video games.
Buy energy efficient products.
Be sensitive to the environment.
Participate join environmental groups
such as Friends of the Environment, Baha-
mas National Trust or the Nature Conser-
vancy.
Mr. Elliott closed his very informative
address by reiterating some key messages.
Our contribution is small, but we are
extremely vulnerable.
The potential impact on The Bahamas
can be profound.
There is much we can do to address
the potential impacts of climate change.
"In the Bahamas we sell our environ-
ment to tourists. We must adapt our tour-
ism business to changing conditions and
employ new technologies," he suggested.
A presentation was made to Mr. Elliott
by Kristin Williams, Executive Director
of Friends of the Environment, and a vote
of thanks was extended by Junior Board
Member Adrianna Phillpot.

Hope Town
Residents want water system
By Jennifer Hudson
"We need a water system," insist the
residents of Hope Town. "Things are be-
coming unkempt, we cannot water our
plants and we cannot keep things as clean
as they should really be because water is
such a precious commodity here," stated
Mr. Vernon Malone. "The present drought
situation has made matters worse, and it is
almost at the critical stage. Water trucks
are up and down the streets all day long."
There are two water companies in Hope
Town, Dolphin Water and Hope Town
Water, and the cost of water varies be-
tween 10 cents and 12 cents per gallon,
with Hope Town Water offering a special
deal of eight cents a gallon for the purchase
of 10,000 gallons. The water companies
convert the salt ground water to fresh us-


ing RO (reverse osmosis) plants. They then
deliver the water to homes and pump it into
their holding tanks. The RO plants are ex-
pensive to run because of the high cost of
electricity. The average persons finds that
they cannot afford to install and run their
own RO plants so they rely on the water
companies which can manufacture in bulk.
Homeowners do catch what rainwater they
can in their foundation collection systems,
but the present lack of rain is causing an
ever increasing problem. All houses on the
cay have a rainwater tank built into their
foundations which makes building a house
on Elbow Cay extremely costly because
building a rainwater tank eats up almost
one third of the cost. The hotels and mari-
nas make their own water.
Half of the houses on the cay use salt
water for flushing toilets which causes
the toilet mechanisms not to last as long


because all the bolts and parts rust out. It
is also expensive, residents complain, be-
cause it means running two pumps, one for
salt water for the toilets and the other to
pump the fresh water into the house.
Already within the first four months of


this year Vernon Malone has spent $792
on water for his bakery. He has had to pur-
chase four loads of just over 2,000 gallons
at $194 each load which makes running a

1 TIPS

OF THE,

MONTH
The wise and judicious use of electricity benefits both
you and the country in two direct and distinct ways:
I. It guarantees for the generations to come, a longer
period over which our natural energy resources may be
extended for our use and convenience.
II. It provides you the customer with an ideal opportunity
to reduce the cost of energy to you.
For these reasons BEC has taken time to provide you with
these valuable conservation tips.
* Consider window fans, ceiling fans or whole-house
fans, which use much less power, as an alternative to air
conditioners.
* Close your blinds, shades or draperies during the hot-
test part of the day.
* Cool only the rooms you are using. Close off unused
rooms.
* Shut off your air conditioner if your leave home for an
extended period of time.
* Air conditioners work to remove humidity, so reverse
moisture making jobs such as cooking, dishwashing,
laundry and bathing for either early morning or late eve-
nings. These activities all increase the level of humidity
in your home making it less comfortable and forcing the
air conditioner to work even harder. If other heat gen-
erating appliances such as irons, ovens and blow dryers
are used only in the early morning or late evening, your
home will stay cooler.

Congratulations to Colleen and Donald Pruett who were married on Green Turtle Cay
on the 26th of April 2008. Colleen is the daughter of John Nasta, who is a homeowner
on Green Turtle Cay. Colleen and Donald will reside in Fairfax, Virginia. They were
married on the beach at Bita Bay where Colleen has great memories of snorkeling and
beachcombing as a young girl. Molly McIntosh, who organized the wedding and recep-
tion at the Green Turtle Club, says it couldn't have been a more perfect day. The weather
was gorgeous and the nice breeze on the beach kept it from being too warm. That night,
after a wonderful dinner, guests enjoyed "Lil Island Slammers" Junkanoo group perform-
ing around the bonfire on the beach and then dancing under the stars to the tunes of the
"Gully Roosters. Best wishes to the happy couple and we hope to see them back here in
Abaco for many, many anniversary celebrations!

business very costly.
Vernon's daughter, Bonnie, operates the
Suds Ahoy Laundromat which utilizes three
working washers. On a week when there
are not many people using the machines
she orders two loads of water of 1,300 gal-
lons each which should last from Tuesday
to Saturday, but on a really busy week she


has to order on a Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. Both visitors and locals make use of
the laundromat, but Bonnie is beginning to
wonder if it is worth keeping the laundro-
mat open as it is just not cost effective. If
this laundromat were to close, people would
have to take their washing across the har-
bour to the Lighthouse Marina laundromat.
"Homeowners who have their own
washing machines recycle their water and


use it over and over," says Vernon, "so
automatic washers are no longer automat-
ic." Renters find that water takes a large
chunk of their rental money since the aver-
age tourist is used to having a copious wa-
ter supply and is not used to economizing
on water while brushing their teeth, for ex-
ample, as well as all the other ways which
are an automatic part of life to the locals.


"This needs to be formally brought to
the attention of government," stated Mr.
Malone, who has actually approached them
verbally. "The bottom line is that govern-
ment needs to put in a water supply or give
incentives such as a discount on duty so
that maybe a water company would put in
a system. As it is, some people just cannot
afford water."

Treasure Cay Primary
A fireman visited Grade 1
On April 30 Mr. Colin "Stone Cold" Al-
bury, Fire Chief of the Treasure Cay Fire
Department, visited Ms. Austine Mills'
grade 1 class at Treasure Cay Primary
School. The students were very excited to
have him visit. He explained to them what
a fireman does and that there can be fire-
men and firewomen and how one could be-
come a fireman. Mr. Albury discussed fire
safety in the home and steps they should
take to prevent fires generally. He demon-
strated how one should crawl on the floor
under the smoke if the house is on fire and
explained to them that they should dial 911
whenever there is a fire. They can call that
number if their parents fall down or get


injured at home because the fireman some-
times go along with an ambulance because
they are well versed in the administration
of CPR
Mr. Albury spoke to the students about
seat belt safety and that they should buck-
le up as soon as they enter a car. He told
them to make sure that their parents and
others are using the seat belts and if not,
they should be reminded to do so.
After talking to the students in class the
fireman had one last treat. He took students
outside to view the brand new fire truck.
Students were amazed as Mr. Albury gave
them a tour around the truck even allowing
each child to climb inside it. But the show
was not over yet.
He asked Ms. Mills to make sure stu-
dents stood to the side as he preformed a


drill and demonstrated how the water is
pumped out of the truck while turning on
the lights, siren and horn.
Students ran around on the sidelines in
excitement while some ran back into the
school yard with a little fear and excite-
ment at the sound of the siren.
Before Mr. Albury left, Grade 1 stu-
dents presented him with a story book they
created, entitled The fireman came to our
class. After he left, students were still ex-
cited and asked if he could return to the
school the next day.
Ms. Mills wishes to publicly thank the
Fireman Colin Albury for visiting her
class.

Museum From Page 18

the marked graves and has assigned people
genealogy numbers and her investigations
have shown that up the fifth generation
127 people died in Hope Town but it is
not known where their graves are. It is be-
lieved that there was a burial ground on the
site where the Harbour Lodge now stands.
She hopes eventually to publish a pamphlet
which will be available in the museum with
stories about the persons buried with date
of death as she has discovered some fasci-
nating stories about some of the deceased.
The committee is looking to make the
museum "A real experience which will be
more appealing and interactive and person-
al for kids." They would very much like
locals to be involved with the museum on
a personal level and not just feel that it is


for tourists. More volunteers are needed
and they are earnestly seeking volunteers
from the local community but would also
welcome volunteers from Marsh Harbour
and the Cays who would like to become
involved. "We need more effort from the
community to keep things running," they
state.
The museum hours are from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Monday to Saturday at present
but due to lack of volunteers when second
home owners leave for the summer the
museum is only open half days during the
summer months and is closed during the
hurricane months of August and Septem-
ber. The committee is considering opening
on Sunday afternoons for Special Sundays
which will feature the making of old-fash-
ioned shell jewellery, various crafts, cul-
tural traditions and story telling.


Sunland Baptist Academy
visits GTC Festival
By Mirella Santillo
Close to 20 third grade students from
Sunland Baptist Academy in Freeport vis-
ited Abaco for the first time on May 3rd
on a one-day visit to the Island Roots Heri-
tage Festival. They were accompanied by
parents and teachers including their social
studies teacher, Mrs. Lavender Roberts.
She explained that before taking the ferry
to Green Turtle Cay, they made a trip to
the wild horse preserve and stopped at the
blue hole nearby.
Mrs. Roberts said that the children were
enjoying the trip and getting much more
out of it than in classroom study. It was
a first-hand experience for them to visit
another Family Island and learn about its
history and customs.

finals which took place on Aril 13th.
Vincea Cockley, who placed second in
the JA sponsored speech competition held
on February 21st, was the other student
from Abaco to travel to Nassau for the
Texaco finals. They had to elaborate on the
theme Road Safety, Making a Difference.
A group of JA members and their ad-
visor, Ms. Natasha Lightbourne, met the
week prior to Amy's departure to Nassau
to wish her luck.


We learnt that the two Abaconians did
not place in the finals, but their efforts
were appreciated by their teachers and
their sponsors. The winners were invited
to tell about their experience at the Rotary
meeting on April 29th.
