Twenty-one Grade 8 students took part in the first Spelling Bee competition of the year which was held at the Marsh Harbour campus of Abaco Central Primary School. The winner was Teresa Pinder of Forest Heights Academy whose final word was 'serviceable'. In second place was Shavona Etienne of Long Bay School, and Shonell Pritchard of S C Bootle Secondary School placed third. The offices for the new Central Abaco Pines Estate were opened in Dundas Town by Minister of Housing Algernon Allen on 6th March. In charge of sales will be John Dean, a native of Sandy Point.
Reports say that the electronic equipment was completely charred.
The boat was believed to be a charter from The Moorings and the occupants of the boat were taking lunch at the Spinnaker at the time. Thirty-four Central Abaco Primary School students visited Nassau with three teachers under the leadership of Assistant Principal Beatrice Moxey. The students were hosted by Deputy Governor Cyril Tynes at Government House, then went on to tour the Defence Force base at Coral Harbour. Highlight of the trip for most students was a visit to Atlantis on Paradise Island where they saw a swordfish for the first time. Deputy Island Administrator Posted.
