Computer Is Donated to Moore's Is.

The Moore’s Island school children
were thrilled on September 18 when a
computer was donated to the school. This
gift comprised two firsts for the school. It
is their first computer and it is the first gift
they have received from outside their
community as a result of their principal’s
plea. Senator Michael Bethel donated a
complete computer system to the school as
a result of an appeal by Principal
Christopher Rahming several months ago
in The Abaconian.

Mr. Rahming was “delighted that a
concerned son of Abaco responded.” Mr.
Rahming was confident that Mr. Bethel
will be hearing from the students with
letters and calls of thanks as they come to
understand what this computer can do for
them. The entire nine grades of
approximately 170 students turned out for
the presentation.

“This computer will help broaden the
student’s horizons,” said Mr. Bethel. He
urged the students to start pen-pal
relationships with other students, both on
Abaco, throughout the Bahamas and
abroad. He also hoped the students could
get to know some Cherokee and Marsh
Harbour children on a personal face-to-face
basis. It was mentioned that with a
connection from BaTelCo the computer
will allow the nearly instant sending and
receiving of e-mail to other students, both
in the Bahamas and in the greater world.
The students were urged to use the
computer to start a school newsletter.

Mr. Rahming is hoping others might

Hudson’s Restaurant at Treasure Cay
opened for business on September 18th
offering breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Gary and Donna Hudson are offering a
wide variety of Bahamian dishes at very
reasonable prices as well as a take-out

they are open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Mr. Hudson is a pastry chef and

Treasure Cay sent him for courses at the
Culinary Institute of America in
Poughkeepsie, New York.

step forward to assist the school. The
school needs help in many areas and
students need exposure to a larger world
than the confines of Moore’s Island. Due to
the geographical position of Moore’s

Island and the prohibitive expense of

transporting students, many functions on
Abaco are not attended by his students
which other school children take for
granted.

Pastor Simms re-emphasized, “This
donation is a history-making event for the
school by an outsider. The fishing industry
is in decline, and a good education will be
the only salvation to carry Moore’s Island
forward.” Mr. Simms further announced
that he wiil sponsor an award to the student
who makes the most outstanding progress
with the computer by the end of the school
year.

A round trip to Sandy Point in an
outboard boat big enough for a school
group can cost $150 or more just for
gasoline. Then there is the bus to be hired
for the hour long ride to Marsh Harbour. If
the event involves an overnight stay, there
are more logistics to overcome. The
settlement of Hard Bargain came by its
