Little Abaco

Disaster Strikes
By Leon Pinder

Renaldo McIntosh, affectionately
known as Jay, was declared lost at sea
after he went missing on the 20th of
August when he fell into the water
between Grand Cay and Crown Haven.
The seas were rough as it was the time
that Hurricane Bonnie passed Abaco out
in the Atlantic Ocean.

Jay was working for Bahasea Lobster
Co. He, along with Capt. Bar Bar, had
taken their lobster vessel, the Nancy to
Grand Cay to pick up a shipment of
lobster and were on their return voyage
to Crown Haven when this tragic incident
occurred.

Outstanding Student Rewarded

By Leon Pinder

Justin Heild, an outstanding member
of Little Abaco’s basketball team, the
Sunset Boys, and a 10th grader at the
S.C. Bootle High School, had an exciting
summer vacation. It was all due to the
fact that he did excellently in his school
work, came first in his class and made a
grade average point required by the New
Hope Baptist Church to win a two week
trip to Florida and Detroit, Michigan.

Upon his return home, he worked with

Green Turtle Club divers and there he
learned how to SCUBA dive and to
