Historic Cabinet Meeting Outlines Plans for Abaco October 15, 2012 The Abaconian Section A Page 1 VOLUME 20 NUMBER 20 OCTOBER 15TH, 2012 Historic Cabinet meeting outlines plans for Abaco By Timothy Roberts After holding a historic Cabinet Meeting in Abaco on October 2, Prime Minister Perry Christie and his ministers announced a number of decisions made for Abaco, including more than $1.6 million in promised road repair and infrastructure and a pledge to increase police manpower on the island. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works Philip Brave Davis noted that his ministry made a decision to improve the roads after a site inspection in September and are now making “final decisions” to fix pothole-filled roads and infrastructure in Marsh Harbour, Dundas Town, Murphy Town, Great Abaco and Green Turtle Cay. The projected works include reme- dial and improvement road works at Marsh Harbour, Dundas Town and Murphy Town with the expected expenditure of about $1 million for the work. Work in Green Tur- tle Cay is expected to cost $250,000. Mr. Davis said that a contract award- ed by the former administration was not finished by the contractor and that the government plans to complete work on Forrest Drive’s Sidewalk at an additional $150,000. “This government shares your con- cerns and feels your frustration and can Cabinet was held on Abaco on October 2, 2012.

  • Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007
    Florida Department of Transportation Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007 ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE IN FLORIDA This report provides an updated overview of Florida’s scheduled commercial airline service. The original overview was based on conditions that characterized Florida’s commercial air service airports in the summer of 2000. Subsequently, an update to the original study was prepared to contrast and compare commercial airline service at Florida airports in the summer of 2000 and the summer of 2001. A supplemental update was made after September 11, 2001 to reflect changes to Florida’s commercial airline service following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC. That supplement noted changes in air service at Florida’s airports between the summer and the late fall of 2001. An additional update was prepared in the summer of 2003 to address any further changes in Florida’s air service in the two years after September 11. This report compares airline service for the 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 timeframes and notes service changes that have occurred since the summer of 2005. With data from the prior studies and new information presented in this report, the Florida Department of Transportation can benchmark changes in the State’s commercial airline service. Data presented in this report is for various reporting periods as follows: • Passenger O&D travel patterns for each market and information on average one-way fares are for calendar year 2006; this information was obtained from the USDOT. • Data on service provided to and from each airport as of July 2007 was obtained from the Official Airline Guide (OAG).

    2009 Annual Report EMB_MOVE_RAA_REG_ANNUAL.pdf 1 8/18/09 11:43 AM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Report from the Chairman Rick Leach Dear RAA Members and Friends, 2009 has proven to be perhaps the most challenging year for the regional airline industry. Safety issues have been at the forefront, and as such, this year has stretched our bounds to make our industry even safer. The Regional Airline Association (RAA) plays a key role in the success of the industry. Over the past decade, the RAA has helped its 32 regional airlines form a seamless operation with their major partners, and the organization has played an integral role in our nation’s air system. Right now, more than 51 percent of daily flights are conducted by regional airlines, and we carry approximately one-quarter of our nation’s passengers. Without our service, 77 percent of US communities would cease to have any 2008-2009 air service at all. We have become a significant, and essential contributor to the airline industry and Board of Directors to the overall American economy. We employ some 60,000 professionals, and we greatly value their contribution to the regional airline industry. Chairman Scheduled passenger service has evolved to where regional and mainline airlines operate seamlessly to Rick Leach benefit the traveling public. The passenger buys one ticket and expects one level of service, so there can Trans States Holdings be only one industry safety standard. Vice Chairman Aviation safety, by its very nature, is a shared responsibility. I know all the regional airlines work closely Russell “Chip” Childs with other aviation stakeholders — our employees, our suppliers, other airlines and most importantly, SkyWest Airlines the FAA — to identify and inventory their best practices and share it collectively.

  • PRESERVATION and the FUTURE of the BAHAMIAN PAST: a CASE STUDY of SAN SALVADOR ISLAND's HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. J
    PRESERVATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE BAHAMIAN PAST: A CASE STUDY OF SAN SALVADOR ISLAND’S HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. JACKSON (Under the Direction of Cari Goetcheus) ABSTRACT While the material remains of past human activity and the evolution of traditional cultural activities have been the focus of much scholarship regarding the history of The Bahamas, very little has been said regarding preservation, promotion and interpretation of such resources. Experiencing spaces, places and activities associated with specific strands of history offer the Bahamian observer unique opportunities to gain insights into their own culture and character. This thesis explores the wealth of cultural heritage resources on San Salvador Island in order to analyze how such resources could be managed to affectively reveal the breadth of The Bahamas’ unique history and culture.
