North Abaco Celebrated One Bahamas
December 15, 2008 The Abaconian Section A Page 1 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 24 DECEMBER 15th, 2008 North Abaco celebrated One Bahamas Guests included Governor General and Olympian Gold Medalist By Vernique Russell Patriotism, pride and nationalism defi- nitely set the mood as North Abaconians gathered at the S.C. 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.

Proposed Elbow Cay Utilities Overview
2 The Beginning of Our Story: Rescue & Relief Hope Town United was formed in the hours after Hurricane Dorian when Brian Malone, 8th generation descendent of Hope Town’s founder Wyannie Malone, met Hope Town homeowner Matt Winslow. Brian led Elbow Cay’s US-based response to Hurricane Floyd in 1999 as the Deputy Chief of Hope Town Volunteer Fire & Rescue and Matt is a director of the Sands Family Office (founders of Constellation Brands). Matt and Brian quickly tapped into their network and assemBled a world-class recovery and restoration organization focused on getting Hope Town Back on its feet while creating an innovative gloBal model for disaster recovery and restoration. 3 The Beginning of Our Story: Rescue & Relief (continued) With surrounding airports under water, Hope Town United helped to organize the private evacuation of approximately 250 residents, the largest single evacuation in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian. In the ensuing days, HTU shipped 50 tons of critical supplies including food, water, tools, medical supplies and generators along with private security and search & rescue teams to the island. HTU also formed a disaster response team that traveled to Nassau, successfully soliciting and securing assistance from multiple NGOs, most notably Samaritan’s Purse. 4 5 Our Vision For Hope Hope Town United is committed to leading Elbow Cay’s recovery from Hurricane Dorian. Our focus is on the restoration of historic public structures such as the medical clinic and school, along with resident homes while also engaging global engineering experts to design and construct the most resilient and environmentally sustainable utilities infrastructure in the world.
