traffic problem ‘far-reaching’ By KARIN HERIG

-o Tribune Staff Reporter

THE DEATH of a young child in a traffic accident has given police cause for extreme concern, a spokesman said yesterday.

There have now been eight deaths already on the country’s roads in the first three weeks of the year. Last-year there were 50 fatalities due to traffic accidents throughout the Bahamas and just 35 in 2002.

Nakito Rahming

“This is cause for extreme concern, this incident indicates that our traffic problems are even more far- -reaching than we previously thought,” said Cor- poral David Lockhart, crash reconstructionist with the Traf- fic Division.

‘ According to reports, seven- year-old Nakito Rahming died after he was.struck by a motor- bike as he rode his bicycle on Thursday evening. Nakito was riding south along West Street on Thursday evening with his cousin Kentosh Rahming, also . aged seven, when the fatal accident occurred.

Walter Lockhart, the driver of a 2004 Honda motorcycle, travelling north on his motor- bike along West Street, collided with the boys, Inspector Wal- ter Evans told The Tribune.

“(Nakito) was immediately transported to Princess Mar- garet Hospital, but his wounds were severe and he died some- time later that night,” he said.

Kentosh sustained “cuts and bruises” on his body. He was treated at the same hospital and is now recovering at home. ,The motorcyclist has not

been charged with any offence and the investigation into the accident is still in the early Stages, police said. «Corporal Lockhart said that

this incident is especially tragic because it involves an innocent child.

“This is the hardest one of

the traffic fatalities this year.” It’s always very hard'when children are the victims, they have not yet experienced life before they are gone,” he said.

The crash reconstructionist said that the fact that “we are only into the third week of this year and we are’ already up to number eight in traffic fatalities,” shows that'the motoring public “is clearly not listening to our advice, or has absolutely °

- no > intention of changing their

driving patterns.” Corporal Lockhart said that

police have seen an alarming increase of fatalities among pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists.

The eight traffic fatalities this year include two pedestrians, one motorcyclist and two cyclists. Three of the victims died in Grand Bahama, and five in New Providence.

“The high number of inci- dents shows us that something is clearly going wrong somehow,” Corporal Lockhart noted.

He said that police, in particular the Traffic Division, now-

have to “figure out where we go from here.”

“We will have to sit down and determine what other measures we want to implement,” he said.

He pointed out however that “the police cannot do it all themselves.”

“Most people think the Traf- fic Division is only there to put money in the Treasury, but in fact our main concern is the safety of each and every person, but to ensure that safety we need the assistance of the people,” he said.

Mother grieves for ‘well-known’ son By TIFFANY GRANT

Nakia Ferguson, the griey- ing mother of the seven-year- old boy whose life came to a tragic end on Thursday night after he was hit by a motorcyclist, said that her son was a sweet child who everyone took

a liking to. "He was never really a rude

child. Right up to the elderly people everybody's spirit took to him. He. was well known," said Ms Ferguson.

Nakito Rahming was a grade two student at the Yellow Elder Primary School and his moth-

er’s only child. He and his cousin Kentosh Rahming were hit by a motorcyclist while riding their bicycles on West Street on Thursday evening.

Ms Ferguson said that she couldn’t specify the details surrounding the incident because she was not home at the time.

However she indicated that she left her son inside the house in the care-of her sister Kenya.

Kenya Rahming, the aunt of the deceased and mother of Kentosh, was home when the accident occurred. She said that

Gang activity violence in schools

By PACO NUNEZ Tribune Staff Reporter

GANG activity is responsible for trouble in schools according to the Youth Against Violence group who yesterday hit out at authorities for failing to acknowledge the link.

According to Youth Against Violence . (YAV), many of the 50 gangs currently operating across New Providence have

Mr Reid’s warning comes after the second violent incident in as many weeks at RM Bailey Senior High School.

putting on a display for the international community that is not reflective in its.own country.

Referring to the Affiliation Proceedings Act, Mr Dun- ‘combe said that it is “poorly written” and clearly denounces the role of the father.

Addressing members of the media at a press conference held yesterday in front of Court No 3, Victoria Gardens, he said that the Act “only recognises half of the family structure, all its talks about is maintenance, the financial contribution for the child.” — “Why is the Bahamas deceiv-

ing the international communi- . ty by pretending that we have ratified this Act allowing fathers to have rights to their children? It is very hypocritical, because domestically children are being denied their basic rights to their fathers and extended family,” ‘Mr Duncombe told The Tri- bune.

The organisation president said that the Bahamas needs to enact laws that adhere to the international Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty to which the Bahamas signed onto in 1989.

“In the Convention, article five, it says that the state must respect the rights and responsibility of parents and the extended family to. provide guidance for the child, which is

Clever Duncombe, president of Bahamian Fathers for Children, speaks to the press outside court yesterday concerning parenting

“Article 18 of the convention says that parents have joint pii- mary responsibility for raising the child and the state shall support them in this effort,” he said: reading from the Convention.

Mr Duncombe alleged that the Bahamian government so ‘far had not: adhered to this treaty and has in “16 years not taken any steps to promote the children’s rights.”

“The Convention says that it is the states’ obligation to protect children from any form of discrimination, but yet in the Bahamas children are routinely discriminated against. The Department of Social Services chooses to alienate Bahamian fathers, they look on us as an irritants,” he added. Mr Duncombe reiterated that

‘We need our men to stand

Also speaking at the press conference, deputy of the Bahamas Democratic Move- ment (BDM) Omar Smith said that Bahamian law must reflect

that “parenting i is not a one-person job.

“It takes a mother and a father to raise a child. It takes extended family also.

“We say it takes a village to

raise a child all the time, but we don’t mean it, because our laws don’t reflect it,” he noted.

Mr Smith said that if fathers are. allowed to be active role: models for their children it will help alleviate some of the country’s social problems, especially youth criminality. “How do we change the

problems we have in our country in regards to crime, violence against women, violence against children. “How can you expect (the

children) to be productive, if there’s nothing within our legal system to protect them in their formative years,” he said.

The BDM deputy leader said that Bahamas is one of the only countries in the world “that is still holding on to these anti- quated colonial laws.”

On the subject of successful single parenting examples, Mr Smith said: “We have had Bahamians. mothers who have been doing it for years, and my hat is off to them, but it should not be that way.

“We need our men to stand. ‘up and perform their roles, but at the same time how are they ‘going to do those things when | the system that we have encour- | ~ ages the type of behavior we have in our society now,” he said. - ‘Mr Smith agreed with Mr Duncombe in saying that the

Bush’s freedom speech WASHINGTON — On his way out of the

first Cabinet meeting after his re-election, President Bush gave his longtime chief speechwriter the theme for the second Inau- gural Address: “I want this to be the freedom speech.”

In the next month, the writer, Michael Ger- son, had a heart attack. With two stents in his arteries, the recovering writer received a call from a president who was careful not to apply any deadline pressure. “I’m not calling to see if the inaugural speech is OK,” Bush said. “T’m calling to see if the guy writing the inaugural speech is OK.”

Thursday’s strongly thematic address was indeed “the freedom speech.” Not only did the words “freedom, free, liberty” appear 49 times, but the president used the world- watched occasion to expound his basic reason for the war and his vision of America’s mission in the world.

I rate it among the top five of a score of second-inaugurals in our history. Lincoln’s profound sermon “with malice toward none” is incomparable, but Bush’s second was bet-

ter than Jefferson’s mean-spirited pouting at “the artillery of the press.”

In Bush’s “second gathering” (Lincoln called it his “second appearing”), the Texan evoked JFK’s “survival of liberty” phrase to. convey his central message: “The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands.” Bush repeated that internationalist human-rights idea, with a slight change, in these words: “The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.”

The change in emphasis was addressed to accommodationists who make “peace” and “the peace process” the No. 1 priority of foreign policy. Others of us — formerly known as hardliners, now called Wilsonian idealists — put freedom first, recalling that the U.S. has often had to go to war to gain and pre- serve it. Bush makes clear that it is human liberty, not peace, that takes precedence, and that it is tyrants who enslave peoples, start wars and provoke revolution. Thus, the spread of freedom i is the prerequisite to world peace.

It takes guts to take on that ences: dom priority so starkly. Bush, by retaliatory and pre-emptive decisions in his first term — and by his choice of words and his tall -

stance in this speech, and despite his unmod- ulated delivery — now drives his critics bat- ty by exuding a buoyant confidence reminis- cent of FDR and Truman.

He promised to use America’s influence “confidently in freedom’s cause.” He jabbed at today’s Thomases: “Some, I know, have

questioned the global appeal of liberty, though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt.”

- Bush has seen the enemy and it is not us. Nor is it only a group of nations (the “axis of evil”). Nor is the prime enemy the tactic of terrorism.

The president identified the enemy (and did not euphemize it, as Nixon’s writers did,

as “the adversary”) a half-dozen times in this speech. The archenemy of freedom, now as — ever, is tyranny.

That’s thinking big, with history in mind. That comes from reading Natan Sharansky,. the former Soviet dissident, and sends a message of hope to democrats jailed by despots in places like China, Zimbabwe and Saudi Ara- © bia. Bush embraced “the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in the world,” but added that our active encouragement of reform “is not

primarily the task of arms.” That was also a reference to Iraq, where

the greatest danger to post-election democracy is less from Zarqawi’s terrorist murder- ers than from the legion of Baathists who want to reimpose Saddam’s brand of tyranny.

A metaphorical nitpick: He said our liber- ation of millions lit “a fire in the minds of men and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.” I would have replaced “this untamed fire,”

which could be dangerous, with “the light from this fire,” which would have illuminated

the “darkest corner.” (Once a speechwriter.) Evidence that Bush’s “freedom speech”

was tightly edited for time was in his con- cluding evocation of Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell. Cut out of a near-final draft was the _ line on the side of the bell from Leviticus that rings out Bush’s theme: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabi- tants thereof.”

Sweethearting, an ‘honourable’ Bahamian sport EDITOR, The Tribune.

Several years ago, we happened to be conversing with a recently arrived Canadian executive and he mentioned to us that he understood that the national sport in the Bahamas is “Sweethearting”, and he was quite tickled. The dictionary which we

often use, defines “Sweetheart-

ing” as: - Darling, one who is loved for our local consumption and in Bahamian parlance, we all know what our definition is. The same dictionary defines “Honourable as: Deserving of honour; entitled to honour; con- sistent with an untarnished rep- utation. In addition, “adultery” is defined as: Voluntary sexual intercourse between.a married man and someone other than his wife, or between a married woman and someone other than her husband.

It is obvious that an honourable person cannot be seen to be a “Sweetheart”. However,

events as they continue to unfold seem to indicate that in. addition to the definitions that appear herein, and considering Mr Christie’s remarks to the

Hage a [email protected]

1993 Commission of Inquiry that here in The Bahamas we do certain things differently, it is possible that “Sweethearting” can now be categorized as an “Honourable” pastime.

Our system of government continues to refer to members of Parliament as “Honourable”. In passing, we remember that during the 1983 Commission of - Inquiry, even whilst the Com- missioners deliberated, a certain member of the then government who was being adversely reported on, was declared “Honourable” for life. As for us for many years we have felt that the word “Hon- ourable” should have been retired in relation to members of Parliament.

If our system of government is to work or should be seen to work, it.seems obvious that if members of Parliament and government Ministers are to be worthy of being addressed or

referred to as “Honourable”, then the society and indeed the entire populace should require of them conduct that can be appropriately emulated, anything less is totally unaccept- able.

In a previous communication we stated that Ministers of the government are, among other things, puppets, and the Prime Minister knowing that they serve only at his pleasure has the unadulterated power to remove or transfer him/her whenever he desires.

A former minister of the FNM government did not seem to understand how ministerial government works, and accused the then Prime Minister of being a dictator; his removal had nothing to do with Mr. Ingraham being a dictator.

It is patently obvious to us that any Minister of government whose conduct openly indicates adultery, the Prime Minister should without delay remove that Minister.

‘tread lightly’ EDITOR, The Tribune.

RAYNARD Rigby’s response to the Action Group of the FNM demonstrating in the Square against Bradley Roberts, was ill conceived and downright presumptuous. What kind of response does Mr Rigby expect from the Official Oppo- sition when a young lady accus- es a Cabinet Minister of rape?

Political novice or not, Rigby should know that the Opposi- tion has every right to capitalise

.on the misfortunes of the Gov-

ernment, its Ministers and/or its

Members of Parliament. If Cab- inet Ministers wish not to:be the targets of sexual controver- sy they know exactly what they should not do.

Rather than lecture the official Opposition, Chairman Rig- by (novice) should spend his time counselling PLP Cabinet Ministers. The FNM Action Group didn’t do one thing that any other political party would not have done, while in Oppo- sition, including the PLP. The Government’s political losses

are always the Opposition’s political gains. Instead of wanting to broaden our democracy, lawyer Rigby seems hell bent on curtailing our freedoms.

For demonstrating, Rigby charged the Action ‘group with “attempting, (though feebly), to spread mistruths.” When since any political party ever waited for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God, before going for the jugular? Never! While in Opposition, Bradley Roberts had a scandalous story on the FNM every time. Parliament met in session and that was indeed his right to do. Members |

of the FNM Government left themselves vulnerable; Bradley Roberts and the PLP took advantage of their vulnerability and so my advice to Raynard Rigby is: “Get a life, young novice!”

If it is true that it took the Police three weeks before getting around to questioning Min- ister Roberts on this rape allegation, then I agree with the Action Group — politics seemed to have interferred with the investigation. Why should it take three weeks to bring the Minister in for questioning when it is normal procedure for the Police to immediately, upon receiving a complaint, launch a search for the accused and pull them in for questioning? Mr Rigby said that there was no evidence that the police was being pressured, politically; but does the PLP Chairman really believe that we, the general public, are so stupid that we would expect to read about the evidénce (that the police. was | being pressured politically) in the print media? He cannot be that naive.

Rigby charged that “it is not for the FNM to judge the Min- —

ister or to determine whether the allegation is indeed true” and I agree with him, but I don’t believe that the FNM or any- body else has said that the allegation was true except, of course, the lady making the complaint and her lawyer. What they are saying, in fact, is, however, that the Minister ought to resign, because, true or false, this is the honourable thing to do.

I appreciate what Rigby thinks his role is as Chairman of the Party — that to defend the party and it’s government at all

- cost — but some things are just indefensible and he ought to know when to keep his mouth shut. .

Iam no fan of the FNM; but as the Official Opposition, they have a constitutional.role to play in opposing the Govern- ment and I will always defend ~ their right to do so. The tone and language of the PLP’s National Chairman’s written response to the FNM’s Action, Group, as reported i in the daily

‘ newspapers, give the impres- sion of dictatorial tendencies at work and that concerns me greatly.

Another piece of advice for young, inexperienced, politician wannabe Raynard Rigby, “tread lightly, my son.”

Mayaguana | excited over

possible hotel development

HE 400-strong population of Mayaguana, the remotest of the Bahama islands, is

growing excited over a massive hotel and resort development that will transform life there for- ever.

Next week, groundwork is expected to begin on a multi- million dollar project that will include two hotels, three mari- - nas and other facilities. Building

- work is expected to last for several years.

The I-Group of Boston is behind what will prove to be a complete transformation of Mayaguana’s sleepy atmos-

- phere. - From being a depressed econ-

omy with little to offer but fishing and farming, the island will become a lively resort to reckon with, according to residents who are looking to the future with great expectations. -

“It’s something that we’ve needed here for many years,” an islander said yesterday, “Mayaguana has for too long been regarded as a forgotten island.”

All the southern Bahamas. will benefit from the scheme as ‘workers will be flown in from Crooked Island, Acklins and Inagua to undertake construction.

On completion, tite development: will boost‘ Mayaguana’s population considerably, revers- ing a depopulation trend that has been common in the southern islands for many years.

“This will generate a lot of business in Mayaguana,” said one source. “In the past the island’s isolation has been its misfortune, but now it looks like being the cause of its good luck.

“TI think the I-Group wanted a place well away from the stress of modern life. They liked the island’s tranquillity and the friendliness of its people.” Mayaguana lies 297 miles

south of Nassau. It is so far- flung that it is almost within sight of Haiti.

DISPUTES over land ownership are still the number one topic of conversation in tiny Rum Cay, where three separate developments.are now trans- forming life, not always for the

better. Long-time residents feel the

homey atmosphere on one of the Bahamas’ remotest isles is changing as tensions rise over who owns what. There is growing resentment, especially among ‘absentee’ land-owners who feel their rights are being overrun.

One islander told The Tri- bune: “At least five Bahamian families are affected by the situation, in which land title is being challenged almost on a daily basis.

“I think many people have had land more or less taken from beneath their feet. It is a very disturbing situation and people on the island seem to talk about little else nowadays.”

Not all developers in Rum Cay are being held responsible for the situation. But there are strong feelings that ownership claims are being cast aside in favour of quick land sales.

“People are up.in arms about it,” said another resident, “Owners are coming here flash- ing pieces of paper trying to prove the land is theirs.

“There is one Nassau family who paid £15,000 for a lot many years ago, but this now seems to

- have been swallowed up in a new development.

“I'd be very surprised if this whole question of land doesn’t end up in the courts.” Rum Cay has become one of.

the hottest properties in the .Bahamas since a new airstrip was built. Once nigh inaccessi- ble, this delightful outpost is

now a favoured hideaway for those trying to escape the stress of modern life. Foreigners are growing

increasingly interested in what the island has to offer. But the invasion has left many of the island’s 50-strong “native” population feeling uneasy.

ON a more cheerful note, one - of Rum Cay’s great characters, bar owner Delores Wilson, cel- ebrates her 73rd birthday next week - and customers from far and wide will be flying and 'sail-

let down the people of distant Ragged Island, it seems. What: they wanted most for Christmas’ was a fresh water system. What: they got was nothing atall.. ;

told islanders they are looking for a barge to transport a drill-

au tera

ing in for the party. Mrs Wilson was born and

brought up on Rum Cay but spent some years in Nassau as a teacher at St Barnabas. In 1974, after returning home, she established Kaye’s Bar in Port Nel- son, the island ‘capital’, where she holds court every night and hears all the local gossip.

‘This will generate a lot

of business in. Mayaguana,’

—island source

“IT went to Nassau to go to school when I was 14,” she told

The Tribune, “After teaching - at St Barnabas for 10 years I came home. Now I really enjoy- ing running my bar and hear- ing what everyone has to say.”

Mrs Wilson will be getting the flags out for her birthday, which has now become an annual event on Rum Cay. Twelve boats are expected to arrive for the occasion and some customers will be flying in from Nassau.

“Tt will be so good to see everyone,” she said, “I like to chat a lot and I always regard my birthday as a time to meet old friends.”

In the early 1990s, Mrs Wil- son recalled her early life on the island in her book Rum Cay, My Home. She still sells

copies to visitors and claims it gives an excellent insight into former days on the island.

NEWS travels slowly in sleepy Eleuthera, where royal enthusiast Henry Sands is still waiting for a full report on Prince Harry’s controversial swastika exploits last week.

“I don’t know the full story so there’s little I can say about it,” he said yesterday, “I’m still waiting to see the newspapers. All I know is that he is sup- posed to have done something

. wrong.” Mr Sands, 79, a well-known

figure in Savannah Sound, keeps track of the royals for several reasons. Firstly, he’s a keen royalist. Secondly, he got to know several of the Royal

. Family when they visited near- by Windermere Island. And

- thirdly, he and his wife were guests at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer 24 years ago.

“T continue to treasure my memories of that occasion,”

’ said Mr Sands, who still bakes bread daily.at his home for a procession of regular customers. “And when I’ve gone, I hope my family will hang on to my mementoes of the wedding.”

As for Prince Harry, whose wearing of a Nazi armband toa fancy dress party caused ruc- tions last week, Mr Sands said: “T’m looking forward to reading all about it.”

FATHER CHRISTMAS has

rig to the island. Wells will be bored in a scheme to provide a reverse osmosis plant. 1 However, Mr Hepburn is

unsure whether the job will ever get started. “I am hoping it will happen this year, but the bargd: seems tobe the problem.” | Meanwhile, long-suffering

islanders are still relying on 4 diminishing rainwater supply} bottled drinking water from Nassau, and well water that con; tinues to run brown, as it hag for many years.

“The problem is that we haved - galvanised pipes here that werd

installed more than 50 years ago,” said Mr Hepburn. “The well water is always dirty, so we have to rely. very heavily on rain.” In the past, islanders have warned that Ragged Island

‘ could cease to be a viable com; munity unless its utilities con? cerns are taken seriously. ‘

Outsiders who have been . obliged to work there have described Ragged Island life as “medieval”, with few of the amenities expected in a 21st century community.

MP: Don’t forget the plight of Abaco lobster fishermen By CARA BRENNEN Tribune Staff Reporter

AS the government works to

alleviate the distress Abaco

farmers experience over the citrus canker disease, Abaco MP Robert Sweeting says he does not want the plight of the lobster fisherman to be forgotten. Farmers in Abaco were

forced to destroy thousands of seedlings and trees suspected

of containing citrus canker this

week. The disease affects the

leaves of the mature plant,

young stems and fruit and even-

Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne hit the island last September.

Yesterday, he told The Tri- bune that millions of dollars worth of lobster traps were damaged at sea.

twe months after the storms struck, for any assessments to be done.

By the time they were able to reach the traps, he said it would be fair to say that 90 to 95 per cent of the equipment was damaged.

As a result, he said the fishermen were not able to gather the harvest that they had anticipated to meet their financial needs.

“The fishermen have been able to do some limited reef fishing.” However, Mr Sweet-

_ ing said that is not an ideal sit-

uation as they can only capture limited quantities.

Mr Sweeting said the fishermen are beginning to feel the financial pressure of the dimin- ished profits.

“Most of these guys have . boats and mortgages and they

are suffering.” ’ He said he would guess that

they were catching at least fifty per cent less than in the past.

Therefore he urged government to remember that the fishermen will need some assistance to get their businesses back on track.

Leslie Miller, minister of trade and industry

Miller attends regional energy body meeting

By RUPERT MISSICK Jr Senior Staff Reporter

IN a continuing bid to get the Bahamas signed onto the proposed PetroCaribe, a regional energy corporation, Trade and Industry Minister

‘ Leslie Miller is attending what could be the second to last meeting before an agreement is made.

The meeting, being held in — Caracas, Venezuela, will be a precursor to the last gathering held in New Providence next month.

The PetroCaribe project represents a Caribbean/Latin American partnership with the objective of deflating 1 the |

in the ~ Caribbean region by import- ~~ high oil prices,

ing petroleum products directly from Venezuela, together with Iraq and Iran, one of © three major oil producing countries, so cutting out the middle man in many cases.

Mr Miller said that repre- ' sentatives from countries, including the Bahamas, Jamaica , Barbados, Guyana, Brazil and Trinidad. and

| Tobago will meet. with Venezuela’s Mines and Ener-

gy Minister Rafael Ramirez. The Bahamas is in a similar ©

condition to other countries

in the region, like Jamaica, which imports more than 90 per cent of its resources need-

_ed for energy consumption. Meanwhile The Miami

Herald reported yesterday that Petrdéleos de Venezuela SA, South America's largest

oil company, may lose use of its Isla Refinery on Curagao as the Caribbean island starts a study on the facility’s future.

The review is partially in

response to pressure from environmental groups on the island, who are seeking to close the refinery, alleging air pollution. Petréleos de Venezuela is paying about $18

. million a year for use of the plant, which processes about 200,000 barrels of oil a day.

However, experts say that Isla is important, especially if Venezuela wants to develop its PetroCaribe initiative. Under PetroCaribe,

Venezuela would sell refined oil products through the Caribbean at a discount under government-to-government contracts. ,

Curacao, is about 36 miles north of Venezuela.

Mr Miller has been a major “pater df the PétroCaribe ‘|” idea, and'the creation'‘of a Bahamian National Energy Corporation which would directly purchase crude and other refined oil products from Venezuela or fellow Caribbean governments, thus cutting out offshore subsidiaries of the major oil com-. panies - Shell, Texaco and Esso:

However, oil companies have criticised Mr Miller saying that the Bahamian government has misunderstood the gas pricing structure incor- rectly believing their offshore subsidiaries are profiteering. |

The pricing structure in the Bahamas is controlled by the government with the administration taking $1.06 per gallon in tax and seven per cent stamp duty on top. Wholesale and retail markups are set to $0.44 and $0.33 respectively. A gallon of petrol currently sells at around $3: 121 in the Bahamas.

ed at those talks and thus the views of The Bahamas on chal-

lenges our country faces with respect to the protection of its underwater cultural heritage

were also added to the discus-

sions. The thrust of it follows. -

CHALLENGES The geographical position of

The Bahamas, just off the coast of Florida, provides an enviable advantage for the development of its tourist industry that has resulted in a lucrative sector which hosts more than four million visitors annually. On the downside, however, some of our

four million visitors are treasure-seekers, who indiscrimi-

nately exploit the cultural resources of these islands. _

This exploitation becomes easy to achieve by the fact that the population of The Bahamas is estimated at 305,000. More

than 75 per cent of this population resides on the two urban centres of Freeport, Grand

Bahama, and Nassau on New

Providence. There are islands in the

southern Bahamas that are geo- graphically, larger than most Caribbean. states, but which

have populations of fewer than 5,000, the majority of which sub- sist on small-scale farming and fishing.

Significantly, the percentage of non-Bahamian residents on many of these islands can exceed 25 per cent of the small populations. It is essentially in waters surrounding these islands that the vulnerability of Bahamian maritime cultural resources is most pronounced.

Another challenge to the protection of Bahamian cultural resources is the traditional political view that such sites should be considered in terms of mon- etary value. This view is especially noted in cases of Spanish treasure, where cash-strapped governments have been swayed ° by unscrupulous salvors into mostly non-beneficial schemes with promises of great financial profit and international exposure. The experience of the AMM C in this regard has been its involvement in discussions in which salvors promise large sums of money up front and the establishment of maritime

museums and/or conservation laboratories in exchange for almost unlimited access to salvage opportunities in Bahamian waters.

An even more urgent challenge to the protection of maritime cultural resources in Caribbean basin states is the occasional claim by some developed countries to wrecks considered to be Spanish and/or American national resources.

This situation is especially emphatic in the case of The Bahamas, which is geographi- cally close to the United States, and which is host to several US military facilities, including a

submarine testing facility that

is jointly used by NATO part-

ners. Further exacerbating the

situation is the fact that some developed nations challenge

and otherwise reject the author-

ity of the United Nations to

establish conventions to protect cultural resources.

The Bahamas has limited economic resources to expend on the protection of its cultural

resources. We are a former

British colony, which has adopt-

ed systems of governance that

required regular elections of

public officials. Some public officials focus on

pleasing their constituents with roads, schools and social. wel- fare programmes. Regrettably,

little resources or consideration are devoted or available for the development of cultural resources programmes. And so museums, conservation and preservation programmes become a low government pri-

ority. Into this cultural vacuum

Trust and The Bahamas His- torical Society.

In the past, selected sub-sec- tions of the national cultural patrimony have been randomly divided among the various organisations, with one organising and developing archaeology, another museums, and still another controlling historic preservation programmes.

SOLUTIONS The Bahamas took steps to

address traditional inadequa- cies in the protection and development of cultural resources with the establishment of a qua- — si-governmental corporation — the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corporation. Most of the authority traditionally accorded to the National Trust and heritage societies are now under the umbrella of a single national agency.

This new innovation has allowed for a more co-ordinated approach to, and use of, limited resources for cultural heritage development and protection. One of the primary goals of the

Kerzner releases plan for 88 homes KERZNER International

Limited, a leading international developer and operator of des- tination resorts, casinos and luxury hotels announced this week the detailed plans to develop 88 luxury condominium homes on the East End of Paradise Island near the leg- endary One& Only Ocean Club.

Construction of Ocean Club Residences & Marina is sched- uled to begin in Spring 2005 with completion slated for Spring 2007. The luxury condominium homes will be built within the exclusive private enclave of Ocean Club Estates adjacent to the championship Ocean Club Golf Course. The new Ocean Club Residences & Marina development will enjoy many of the services and amenities available to One&Only Ocean Club and Atlantis, Par- adise Island resort guests. One&Only Ocean Club on

Paradise Island in the Bahamas has long held an incomparable allure to those who expect the best. Now this supreme level of luxury will be available to homeowners of Ocean Club Residences & Marina. Ocean Club Residences & Marina will

be replete with beautiful gardens, resort-style pools, a fit- ness facility, 24-hour security, additional storage, covered and surface’ parking and a private marina that will accommodate yachts of up to 120 feet. The four, six-story buildings will be arranged on the site to take full advantage of prevailing breezes and capture expansive views of the gardens, Nassau Harbour, the championship Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course and the ocean. Homeowners will enjoy

access to a private beach club on Cabbage Beach reserved exclusively for the owners of Ocean Club Residences & Marina and Ocean Club Estates. The fully appointed beach club will include a colonial-style cabana with changing rooms and showers, an open- air bar, and a swimming pool. Purchasers may choose one of eighty three-bedroom/three- and-a-half-bath condominium homes or one of eight, four-bedroom/four-and-a-half-bath pent- houses (media rooms may be converted to a fifth bedroom). Sizes will range from 3,000 square feet to 7,200 square feet.

gest that one solution to this problem of protecting and pre- . serving our national underwater cultural resources is to first develop a regional committee, . which in turn would develop a database that should include information on illegal and authorised underwater archaeological activities.

This database could serve-as a warning against advances by ‘unscrupulous treasure hunters disguised as legitimate agencies wishing to advance national cultural programmes. This exchange of information could save the loss of irreplaceable and possibly irretrievable cultural resources.

Traditionally, The Bahamas has suffered from the lure of such unscrupulous treasure hunters. In the division of spoils from salvage operations in Bahamian waters, our share includes virtually worthless artifacts, while that of the salvor

include priceless gems and artifacts. Today, there is a position paper that Bahamian authorities are considering for early

implementation. Among other things, the paper offers the following recommendations:

e National policy on salvage should be revised as a priority.

e Wrecks and wreck environs should be determined to be archaeological resources, and not mere treasure trove.

e The existing Abandoned Ships Act should be repealed, in acknowledgement that the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Act provides for the protection of. terrestrial and aquatic archaeology.

_ © Significant, wreck sites. ....

men, who are significant sources of information on the location of wrecks, should be formed.

e Only accredited and rep- utable research institutions/companies may enter into negotiations for aquatic archaeological research.

e Lacal dive operations should be encouraged to promote visitation to the marine parks as dive attractions, simi- larly to the promotions and management of terrestrial sites such as forts and museums.

° The historically significant wreck sites should be declared ‘national monuments.

There is a need for an inven- tory of human and technical resources and facilities existing in various public and private agencies, from which interested professional services can tap

_into whenever necessary. Par- ticipating agencies should be aware of the availability of such resources and how best to access the related services.

As an example of the above, the AMMC should be able to contract the services of an

The Bahamas remains im con- stant danger of losing many more of its aquatic cultural resources. This trend will continue unless national collaborative and combative efforts are not soon devised and imple- mented. We urge all relevant agencies to enter discussions to achieve this goal so that these

priceless artifacts can be pre- served for the benefit of pos- terity.

Finally, in 1656 the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de la Maravillas was accidentally struck by its fleet’s lead vessel and sunk off Little Bahama Bank, near Grand Bahama Island. Its wreck, discovered in the latter half of the last century, was later salvaged in 1972 by a team led by Mr Willard Bascom. Its rich cargo con- tained jewels and gold and silver bars. The recovered treasure was reportedly auctioned off for an estimated $300 million. Of this amount, The Bahamas ceived less than 10 Der, Over the years, and in the

. absence of adequate legislative protection, many shipwrecks have been plundered and their historical value severely undermined. Many artifacts have been recovered, taken out of the country without authorisa- tion, and subsequently lost to Bahamian cultural heritage. Thus, we have published the above out of concern for the protection and preservation of our national cultural heritage. A word to the wise, it is said,

should be sufficient. Think on these things.

VIOLET LUANA ALBURY. March 29th 1942 - January 22nd 2004

To my Mom,

As I watched you suffer with so much pain, I was amazed

at the strength you showed. I remembered holding your hand, and thinking back on how

hard they worked, not only for your children, but for everyone you knew, family, friends or strangers.

I remembered how as I watched you struggle to take a breath, I would think back on my life and realized that you exuded so much strength even now because all of your life you struggled. You struggled to give your family the best that you could; and you did.

For you taught me that it is not what we own that makes us happy and successful, but what we have inside.

I remembered thinking of these things and asking God to let |

me take your place, for you had so much more to offer this world than I ever could.

It was with those thoughts, that I realized that we are not to question or ask why, only to believe that the Lord’s will, will be done. What was it that I was to learn by watching you, the greatest

person I knew, struggled with such pain. I would like to think that it is so that I can become a better person. So everyday I now live with the thoughts of, “what would my Mom do”? I would try to be more like you: For I know that if I live to be a thousand years old, there would be no one more wonderful that I could learn from.

I miss you every minute. I thank you everyday and I love you

In the position as executive director of the institute is Liv- ingston Marshall, who holds a PhD in marine science.

Mr Marshall expects that the institute will be fully functional by the Fall of 2005. In order to have the institute up and running for the Fall, he noted that over the next’several months they will be examining and determining facilities needed for the institution.

Mr Marshall noted that one of the components would be to have a very strong focus in

research: Some of the areas that

will be explored are fisheries, coastal zone management, and

environmental monitoring.

“Within the next five years

we hope to have the research, education, the outreach and training components and the

strong policy component all in place. What we envision is a cadre of professionals that may include scientists, scholars and

lay persons who will all be asso- © ciated with the institution in one capacity or the other,” said Mr Marshall.

He added: “Also in about five

years we hope to have our bach-

elors degree programme in

marine and environmental sci-:

ences fully established and be

thinking at that stage about the implementation of a graduate programme where persons can come and get Master’s degrees in various areas and eventually doctorate degrees.”

Mr Marshall said they hope to eventually establish a four year programme in marine and environmental sciences.

- Mr Christie noted that every major investment has environmental implications.

“This is a wonderful time to introduce this new development in the College of the Bahamas,” said Mr Christie.

He added: “The College of the Bahamas must see itself as an instrument of national development. It must necessarily see itself in academia as an institution that is excited about con-

4 Worké and Edudation to repair their hurricane damaged school as quickly as possible.

According to Leonard Edge- combe, the PTA president, the

500 plus students and. 30 plus teachers and:support staff have — had to endure terrible class- room conditions since last Sep- tember when Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne slammed into the island.

Mr Edgecombe said that for four months the school was without electricity due to hurricane damage. Power was finally restored on January 14, but “Mr Edgecombe said that besides the discomfort caused

by the heat, the computer and : home economics programmes suffered greatly because students were not able to do practical work.

In addition, the roof had been damaged and several class- rooms leak in the rain, he said. Mr Edgecombe said that about 300 feet of fencing surrounding the-perimeter of the school has also been damaged.

He said this is a problem because like schools all over the

prise githou pleading with’ th Minigtr ry OF

country, security and safety from outsiders who may try to enter the campus to create... problems has been a challenge and the fence was needed asa first line of defence.

He explained that although a few minor repairs have been done, work was stopped because there were contractual problems with the Ministry of Works which prevented the project from going forward.

Last month, he said, the PTA invited local members of the media to view the school, in the hopes that by having their concerns made public, work might begin more rapidly.

He said as far as he was aware other schools on Abaco including SC Bootle had suffered damage although he was unclear as to the extent of their damage or to what repairs were ‘made. |

“We just want them to somehow speed up the process.” Area FNM MP Robert

Sweeting told The Tribune that the school’s interior is in a “deplorable” condition. He said

difficult’ for them to stay motivated,” he said.

Yesterday, Heloise Newbold, the public relations officer at ‘the Ministry of Education, told ‘The Tribune that while Marsh Harbour, where Abaco Central is located, was damaged during the hurricanes, the school did not suffer as much damage as Cooper’s Town.

She said that the school suffered extensive flooding which meant that electricity could not be turned on until a thorough electrical assessment could be done.

Ms Newbold said that because the Ministry of Works has been overcome with all of the repairs they have to do, the Ministry of Education has hired

' personnel for the sole purpose of repairing the government schools damaged in the Sep- tember storms,

She said the ministry is mak- _ ing every effort to complete the repairs as soon as possible and said that the ministry should be ready to make a progress report early next week.

Petition has over 50 signatures @ By BRENT STUBBS

Senior Sports Reporter

at the Queen lizabeth n Spor Centre.

MEMBERS of the Bahamas Hot Rod Associ- ation, which was off to the fast lanes at the Queen

Elizabeth Sports Centre, are calling for the removal of president Gus Outten and his secretary, Alex Taylor, from office. '

Instead of looking forward to going out to the MotorSports Park every Sunday to compete, the members have lodged their complaint in a petition that was signed on Monday.

A copy of-the letter, signed by more than 50 members, was addressed to both Outten and | Taylor. '

Conditions “King” David Rahming, one of the members of

the dissension group, said they tried to bring some resolve to the situation, but they couldn’t

work under the conditions that the sport operat- ed last year and will not be prepared to do so this year.

“We had one man who was running the whole show,” said Rahming, who not only serves as a director in the association, but is also one of the car owners.

“If it wasn’t his-way, it wasn’t going to work at all.”

Efforts made to contact both Outten and Taylor proved fruitless up to presstime. Rahming said, while the election of officers

will be held at the end of the year, they are call-

ing for the removal of Outten and from office and they will appoint a steering committee to handle the affairs.

_ Outten moved up from vice president to take over the association after Gurth Knowles, the duly elected president, resigned in the first of his three-year term.

There is a total of seven executives voted in office, but throughout the past year, Rahming said only two officers served. Another member ‘stated: “Members were at

their last straw, so they sent him and his secretary letters, indicating that they want him and his secretary out of office and a new slate elected to serve.”
