  • Eleven Perish in Boating Tragedy
    June 15, 2012 The Abaconian Section A Page 1 VOLUME 20 NUMBER 12 JUNE 15th, 2012 Eleven perish in boating tragedy By Timothy Roberts Eleven people, including two chil- dren, perished when a boat heading to Florida developed engine trouble and sank in the area of Hawksbill Cays (just north of Fox Town) sometime close to 9pm on Sunday, June 10. Local police and rescue agencies were not alerted about the sinking until late in the afternoon on Monday as no one had reported it until a young man (a survivor that swam to shore) walked into the police station in Marsh Harbour around 3pm that day. It was reported by the survivor – a nineteen year-old male – that possibly as many as six other people swam to shore but they quickly disappeared into the night. According to Noel Curry, Abaco’s Officer in Charge, the young man attempt- ed to help a young lady swim to shore but she was swept away by a wave. He then fo- cused on getting himself to safety. He told police he swam from 9 pm Sunday evening until 3 am Monday morning. Mr. Curry said the police have since detained eight persons (including the survi- vor) who are assisting with the investiga- Please see Tragedy Page 2 Above: The Royal Bahamas Defence Force boat docking at the port during the evening of June 11.

Bootle High School for the One Bahamas Celebration 2008 on November 27. The celebration began back in the 90s by Sir Orville Turnquest, then Governor General of the Bahamas. Since then during the month of November a week has been assigned to reflect on what makes us Bahamians and what unites us as one country. With a cool Atlantic breeze blowing, One Bahamas was portrayed in songs, ring games and dances done by students from North Abaco. The schools brought forth their best choirs, dancers and soloists to complete the celebrations. These renditions truly brought out what it means to be Bahamian. In attendance was Sir Orville Turnquest, Sir Durward Knowles and other dignitar- ies from Nassau and Abaco. Sir Orville Turnquest, the Father of One Bahamas, encouraged the students to remember that we are one, no matter which island we hail Sir Durward Knowles was part of the group visiting North Abaco to celebrate One Bahamas. He is shown here giving representa- from. Sir Durward Knowles urged those tives of each of the schools in North Abaco a DVD copy of his life story. He was the first Bahamaian to win a gold medal in the Olympics and it was in sailing. Please see One Bahamas Page 13 Armed Robbery ends in Murder U.S.

  • Debris and Waste Management
    Debris and waste management Dr. Urs Bloesch, Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit, conducted the DDSA on behalf of UNDP Executive summary A comprehensive Government strategy for debris and waste management is highly needed. A prioritization of sites to start with the cleaning up is indispensable to ensure that the most urgent sites are cleaned first. It is highly recommended to visualise the operation on a map showing hotspots of the damage, land ownership, and actors and their intervention zones for facilitation the implementation of the debris and waste management plan. A communication campaign is urgently needed to alert private landowner on the cleaning process and its timing to get their permission for cleaning to avoid delaying the cleaning up. The total amount of debris might be roughly estimated at 150,000 m3 for Abaco based on the UNDP preliminary assessment. UNDP is currently updating this figure. The reuse of the debris offers an excellent opportunity to create additional income to local enterprises and employment for local people (cash for work). The sorting of material for the reuse should happen on the spot (timber, boards, organic material…) as much as possible. The large quantities of dry wood in the pine and broad-leaved forests pose a high fire hazard in the coming winter dry season with the risk of widespread wild fire. The fallen / broken timber and the dry wood in the pine and broad-leaved forests have to be removed for reuse before the coming dry season and firebreaks have to be established, respectively reinforced. 1) Introduction In agreement with UNDP, the DDSA in the debris and waste management sector will focus a) on the reuse of debris and waste in the Abacos including environmental considerations and income generation opportunities to support the local communities and b) on the appropriate strategy to guide the implementation of a debris and waste management plan in the field.
