VOLUME 14, NUMBER 13, JULY 1st, 2006 Marsh Harbour Airport Will Not Close Min. Bradley Roberts Says No Need to Close Airport The Hon. Bradley Roberts, Minister of Works, and the Rt. Hon. Perry Marsh Harbour Prepares Christie, Prime Minister, contacted in- dividuals on Abaco on June 23 and stated that the Marsh Harbour airport for Independence will not be closed during planned con- struction work. Plans will be put in place to accomplish the work without disrupting the schedules there. Mr. Roberts said, “There is light at the end of the tunnel. There will be no need to close the Marsh Harbour airport.” This was good news for the business com- munity of Central Abaco and airlift companies flying into Marsh Harbour. On June 16 a notice was sent to sev- eral airlines that the Marsh Harbour air- port would be closed for 10 weeks from September 10 through November 20 for upgrading the facility. The runway is to be lengthened by 1000 feet and re- surfaced and a new parallel taxiway constructed. The cost of these improve- ments is expected to be $3.5 million. The contract for this work was signed with Bahamas Hot Mix at the airport on March 13. Work was to have begun the first week of June and surveyors have completed preliminary work. The Ministry of Transport and Aviation no- tified the public that the timing of the work was arranged to minimize the dis- ruption of the Abaco economy. Many in Central Abaco were very up- The 33rd celebration of Bahamian Independence on July 10 will include festivities throughout Abaco. Marsh Harbour has already set with the announcement of the clo- decorated for the occasion and is planning a dedication of the Marsh Harbour Memorial Garden on the waterfront. This new park will honour 15 past leaders of the community.

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.
