Yvonne Marie Bain was born in Nassau, on November 3rd, 1939 in the family home on Mackey Street, to Reggie and Beulah Malone. She was the fifth of five daughters, the youngest of the family.
Raymond Cloutier March 1948 to January 2022 Raymond Patrick Cloutier, formerly of Canada, died on Tuesday, 25 January, 2022 at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas.

Ray is survived by an older brother, Roger Cloutier who lives in Canada. He will be sadly missed by his many friends, colleagues and students. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
She was educated at Queen’s College, participated in sports, and was a member of the 2nd Nassau Girl Guide Company. After graduation from high school she went to college at Florida State University, after which she went to work for McKinney, Bancroft and Hughes. She fell in love with a dapper Scotsman named Stuart Bain and they were married on his birthday, November 1st 1967, at Trinity Methodist Church on Frederick Street in Nassau. Stuart and Yvonne adopted an infant daughter, Alice, on January 2nd 1973. The family lived in Nassau until 1985, when they moved to the Isle of Man for three years, returning to Nassau in 1988. Yvonne was a member of the Horticultural Society and also served as the president of the I.O.D.E. In 2004, due to Stuart’s failing health, they moved back to the Isle of Man, where he died a short while later. Yvonne remained resident on the Isle of Man for the rest of her life, but returned to Nassau and to Abaco for many visits with her beloved extended family over the years. She enjoyed playing bridge and was a member of the Manx Bridge Union. Vivacious and well-loved, she eventually lost her 13 year battle with lung cancer and passed peacefully in her sleep into the keeping of our Lord. She is predeceased by her husband Stuart, and her sisters Sheila Kanitsch, Joan Albury, and Byrle Patterson. She is survived by her daughter, Alice; her sister, Shirley Higgs and many beloved nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

OBITUARIES
THE TRIBUNE
A Person You can Depend On… Lean On (Your Funeral Director) It is certain that one would feel lonely during your time of bereavement. The suddenness, the sense of loss, the bewilderment, the strangeness coupled with the feeling of not knowing what to do can be overwhelming. Your personal needs are often neglected. This is when you need someone who can replace confusion with calm, doubt with certainty and questions with answers. Your most important need is someone who knows what to do, who has the answers and more importantly who knows where to search for answers unknown. This is what your Funeral Director was trained by education, apprenticeship and experience to be and to do. This should be their mission, to be an Oasis in the Desert, an Island in the midst of an Ocean, to counsel, to help and to reassure. Their experience and understanding make it easy for you to make decisions you alone must make about the type of service you prefer, where it will be held and other logistics that the uninformed person may neglect. They put at your disposal the facilities of the funeral home and take care of an almost unbelievable multitude of necessary details. Beyond all the necessary physical things they do, what the family invariably remembers and treasures most is that here in their lonely hour, was a person they could Depend on … Lean on. In The Bahamas there are numerous funeral practitioners that are licensed and trained to complete such task. They are good citizens and neighbours who take pride in their practice and profession. Just as one would consult their attorney or doctor in advance of need wouldn’t it be wise to consult and establish an equally reassuring relationship with your Funeral Director? Mr. Llewellyn W. Astwood II A. Sc., M. Sc. Managing Director Demeritte’s Funeral Home

Christianity in action REV LESTER FERGUSON TAKES UP MANTLE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF BAHAMAS FEEDING NETWORK
R
By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net
EV Lester Ferguson is eager to step into his new new role as the executive director of the Bahamas Feeding Network, an organisation that aims to demonstrate Christianity in action by helping provide food for the less fortunate in the community. In December 2013, and after decades of individually tackling the hunger crisis in the Bahamas, 13 organisations came together to form yhe Bahamas National Feeding Network (BNFN). The aim of the non-profit group is to perform as a hub for the collection and distribution of food items, as well as financial and physical resources. These are distributed to entities that interact daily with thousands throughout the archipelago plagued with the uncertainty of not knowing where their next meal is coming from. Rev Lester Ferguson will help spearhead these efforts. He is a founding member and succeeds Philip Smith, who served in the post of executive director since the organisation was formed. Mr Smith resigned to accept a position at a new NGO, but will remain on the board of directors of BFN.
“The Bahamas Feeding Network thanks Philip Smith for his years of dedication to the eradication of hunger in our Bahamas,” said BFN Chairman Felix Stubbs. “Philip’s passion and his tireless energy, compassion and fundraising have truly made him the face in the fight against hunger for nearly a decade and we are pleased that he will remain on the board. We wish him every success and we welcome Lester Ferguson, a man whose purposedriven life has impacted and uplifted countless numbers of men, women and children whose lives are better today because of his encouragement.” Rev Ferguson was the first Bahamian divisional commander of the Salvation Army in the Bahamas, leading that ministry organisation for ten years. Leaving that post, he headed the policies and regulations unit of
REV LESTER FERGUSON the then newly enacted Persons with Disabilities Equal Opportunities Act. Since 2017, Rev Ferguson has been the pastor of the Grant’s Town Wesley Methodist Church. Rev Ferguson praised his predecessor and said he is excited to tackle the work ahead. “Philip Smith along with the founder of the Bahamas Feeding Network, Frank Crothers,
grew a vision of pulling together a few churches, feeding centres and soup kitchens in 2013 into a national network of more than 100 civic, secular and religious organisations feeding thousands every week. Philip’s drive and commitment inspired a team of volunteers who before COVID prepped, cooked and packed thousands of hot meals a week and post pandemic packaged
enough groceries to keep a nation from starvation. His tireless fundraising ensured there were always supplies,” he said. “I am honoured to help continue the mission of the Bahamas Feeding Network. One of the objectives of the Network is to be a resource for feeding centers across Nassau, and I look forward to further strengthening all of our partnerships to help hungry families in our nation.” The mission of the BFN is to maximise the effectiveness of soup kitchens, churches and feeding centres currently operating in New Providence, tackling the scarcity of resources, personnel, finances, food supplies and non-food supplies, as well as minimising the duplication of services, improving communications and collaborations, and developing an online database. This database will feature times and locations of programmes, to help identify under-served or unserved areas and to provide a common platform for standards and best practices and the review of government and NGO policies related to feeding centres and programmes. The Network has grown significantly over the years, from 54 member organisations to more than 100 feeding centres/programmes in New Providence and the Family Islands.
Called to proclaim and perceive THE Collect (prayer) for the third Sunday after the Epiphany: "Give us grace, O Lord, to answer readily the call of our Saviour Jesus Christ and proclaim to all people, the Good News of His salvation, that we and the whole world, may perceive the glory of His marvellous works." Your challenge for today is to: 1. Answer readily the call 2. Proclaim to all people the Good News of His salvation
3. Perceive the glory of His marvellous works (both you and the whole world to perceive) In Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10, Ezra answers, proclaims and perceives, causing his people to weep with remorse and rejoice with gratitude. His wellknown statement is: "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (verse 10) and it still speaks to us centuries later. In Psalm 19, the Psalmist also answers proclaims and perceives. In verses 1-6, he describes the glory of God's creation. Verses 7-11, he delineates the blessings of
the law, God's commandments and statutes. Verses 11-14, demonstrate how to pray to avoid sin. There is great power in his testimony and prayer, parts of which are used by many preachers before beginning a sermon: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be accepted in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." In 1 Corinthians 12:1231a, St Paul answers, proclaims and perceives, using the image of the body of Christ to describe the gifts in the Church. The glory of the Lord is revealed in our unity, constancy and
peace: “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." This unforgettable metaphor of the church has captured the work of the Spirit for generations of christians. In Luke 4:14-21, Jesus answers the call, proclaiming the Good News telling the listeners to perceive just who He is: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour" (verses 18-19).
A servant’s heart “WHY, when you could do it yourself?” I was recently asked this question, and I smiled, realising the interrogator was right. Because of years of experience and success in the work, there was absolutely no reason I couldn’t build my own endeavour, chart my own course and truly succeed, as I had before. I thought about the question, casually at first, and then with more consideration. How many of us have opted to do the same? We have excelled in our career or in a hobby, or in another attempt, but instead of trying to chart another path of success, we opt to sit in the seat of servant rather than leader. I’m not sure if your reasons are like mine, but the lessons in this about-face are numerous. Firstly, there is strength in serving. Don’t let the attractive positions and commendations fool you. Despite the many trophies that are handed out in the form of a few leadership letters attached to your name, the power in what you do comes from maintaining a servant’s heart. This concept has become so foreign in the many paths that I walk. I have heard
so many people make the claim of being a servant, but it’s really said in a selfcongratulatory manner that bespeaks an attitude of entitlement. One of the greatest examples of servant-leadership I can cite is the example of our Lord as He washed the disciples’ feet. Greatest among them by far, He stooped to the pan of water and removed the dust, and grime from the feet of His servants without seeking acclaim or attention. Nowadays, servant leadership looks and sounds a whole lot different. In many arenas it sounds more like, “Look at me as I serve….Come to me and I’ll serve….See what you should strive for watching me serve….” In many cases, it becomes more about being seen than about the act of serving. Don’t get me wrong, a great servant deserves accolades and applause, but my point is the mindset of servanthood should never change. One of my favourite scriptures says very simply, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people. (Colossians 3:23, NASB) Why do I like this scripture? It never outlines
position, experience or level of success. The entire idea of the verse says very simply that no matter where you position yourself, whether it is at the helm of your own ship, or choosing to partner with someone as they steer their own, you are to do it all as if you are working to please God. (Not just say that you are pleasing Him, but actually doing it).
• Rev Angela Palacious, a motivational speaker and author of several or lead, from a position of humility- showing your connection of service and worship to God and not to man. It means that you
AYANNA CARTWRIGHT
What do you get when you humble yourself? • An inner peace and strength comes from seeing yourself as a servant. • Relating to others’ issues and situations is easy when you see yourself as a servant. • Correcting with compassion is commonplace when you see yourself as a servant • Achievement is shared with the team when you see yourself as a servant. There are so many other benefits – the trust, confidence placed in you, I could go on and on. Now, be very careful. Not everyone will support your decision to serve, even from a position of leadership. There will always be those who feel threatened or show outright animosity
What about us? Where do we get into God's great plan? Will we answer our individual and collective call to obedience? Will we proclaim the truths we have discovered personally? Are we looking to perceive God's marvellous works and to share them with the world (our sphere of influence and beyond as others carry it with them)? If you are ready and willing to say "yes" to God, go back to the beginning of this article and pray the prayer offered there.
when you excel from a place of subordination. They will refuse to accept your excellence, no matter what shape or form it takes. I have worked with people who right out refuse to say, “Good job, Ayanna.” (It makes me laugh because those persons never realise their actions reveal a whole lot more about their insecurities than it does my abilities.) Here’s my advice: Never take this on as your fight. It is their insecurity, and therefore, their burden to bear. To serve means to esteem others above yourself, and give them the heartfelt consideration you would like bestowed upon you. To serve means to work,

Bahamas Gospel Music Awards return to honour the legends
T
By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net
HE Bahamas Gospel Music Awards are officially back and this time they are paying respect to all the legends that have made a huge statement in the arena over the years. The awards show will be held on June 12 under the theme “Legends”. Submissions for nominations are now open. “We are highlighting a lot of legends that have paved the way. So the public will see a few throwback performances. Also, we hope that COVID protocols would be relaxed a bit for the public to attend this year,” said Travis Edgecombe, the show’s producer. In addition to this year’s event highlighting Bahamian gospel artists who
have paved the way for a new generation there is also new category for 2022 – “Inspiration Song of the Year” – and has renamed a few of the original awards. The Female Artist of the Year is now the Rachel Mackey Female Artist of the Year Award; Junkanoo/ Rake n’ Scrape Song of the Year is now the Kevin McKenzie Junkanoo/Rake n’ Scrape Song of the Year; Traditional Song of the Year is now the Shanique Thurston Traditional Song of the Year; Contemporary
TRAVIS EDGECOMBE Song of the Year is now the Lyrically Blessed Contemporary Song of the Year; Praise and Worship Song of the Year is now the Mark Bethel Praise and Worship Song of the Year, and the Radio Personality of the
Year is now the Vaughn Miller Radio Personality of the Year. “We knew there are artists who make and produce inspirational music to uplift and encourage so we decided to add a category
just for them,” said Mr Edgecombe. The BGMA will host a series of events leading up to the awards night. Nomination submissions close on March 25. A "Celebration of Gospel – The New Class" will be held on Sunday, March 6. The BGMA nominee announcements will take place on Monday, April 11, and the BGMA nominee reception Friday, May 27. “Last year, a lot of artists were trying to feel the awards out and now they have seen and experienced it. We are sure to have more submissions this year," he said. Though pulling off an award show is not without its challenges, Mr Edgecombe said it is an honour to present the BGMAs once again. “It is an honor. We do this for the glory of God and it is a privilege to showcase what
"Bahamian gospel artists have so much to offer to the world and to share and highlight the most important person, Jesus Christ," he said. “As long as the Lord allows us to, I will strive to keep this award show for many years to come. It is not easy, but with the support of the gospel and church community the BGMA will be around for a long time." The Bahamas Gospel Music Awards have partnered with a Caribbean digital platform called CARGOS TV . It is the new for home for Caribbean gospel live streaming, virtual events, concerts and churches. They also offer a wide range of innovative programming, original content, live-streaming, and video-on-demand.

Bahamian Christians in Dubai IF you have been living under a rock or merely avoiding social medial platforms, you may have missed the recent outcry about who went to Dubai and who didn't. Well, let me bring you up to speed and, when I say up to speed, I am going to make this short and simple. Many have voiced concerns about who was chosen to represent the Bahamas at the Dubai Expo 2022. There are those that are concerned about the selection
process. Speculation about whether those who were chosen were the best fit and why other talented Bahamians were overlooked. So let me just tell you now, I don’t have the answer to any of those questions and that is because firstly, I am not an investigative journalist, and secondly, quite frankly it is not the best use of my energy to figure it out. Why, may you ask? Are you not concerned about who we send to the world stage? Are you not
concerned about corruption and favouritism and collusion? To answer these questions, yes, I am. However, I am also very happy that many Bahamians, some of whom are people of faith, have had the opportunity of a lifetime, to represent my country in one of the most influential and non-Christian territories on earth. I was excited when I saw many familiar faces form the Christian arena in Dubai. Seeing them in
Dubai stirred my heart with hope and joy. It has been my prayer that while over there, they were specific about their prayers. It is my prayer that they have been downloaded with strategies to transfer the wealth needed to fund God’s work into the pockets and hands of Bahamians serious about God’s kingdom. It has been my prayer that their lights shined so brightly that others became curious about their God, and that they were able to share the
good news with someone. I have also wondered if Christ drew nearer to them as they saw the camels and drove into the sand dunes. Finally, I have been praying that they return more spiritfilled and excited about our country’s future in Christ than when they left. Truth be told, I wish too had been in Dubai to witness all of this for the first-hand. I am not sure what stirred in you amidst the recent social media uproar, but I

just thought to share what stirred in me.
A PERSON YOU CAN DEPEND ON… LEAN ON OUR FUNERAL DIRECTOR THE time of bereavement can be a lonely one. The suddenness, the sense of loss, the bewilderment and the strangeness, coupled with the feeling of not knowing what to do can be overwhelming. Your personal needs are often neglected. This is when you need someone who can replace confusion with calm, doubt with
certainty and questions with answers. Your most important need is someone who knows what to do, who has the answers and more importantly who knows where to search for answers unknown. This is what your funeral director was trained by education, apprenticeship and experience to be and to do. This should be their
mission, to be an oasis in the desert, an island in the midst of an ocean, to counsel, to help and to reassure. A funeral director’s experience and understanding make it easy for you to make decisions you alone must make about the type of service you prefer, where it will be held and other logistics that the uninformed person may neglect. They put at your disposal
the facilities of the funeral home and take care of an almost unbelievable multitude of necessary details. Beyond all the necessary physical things they do, what the family invariably remembers and treasures most is that here in their lonely hour was a person they could depend on. In the Bahamas there are numerous funeral practitioners that are licenced
and trained to complete such task. They are good citizens and neighbours who take pride in their practice and profession. Just as one would consult their attorney or doctor in advance of need, wouldn’t it be wise to consult and establish an equally reassuring relationship with your funeral director?

ITALY COURT DEFINITIVELY ANNULS WARRANT FOR VATICAN SUSPECT By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press ROME (AP) — An Italian appeals court has definitively annulled the pre-trial arrest warrant for the prime suspect in the Vatican's big fraud and embezzlement trial, signaling an end to extradition procedures in Britain for now, his legal team said Wednesday. The decision by Rome's Tribunal of Review is a blow to Italian prosecutors but also to Vatican prosecutors, who had been trying to bring Gianluigi Torzi back to Italy to eventually stand trial in the Vatican for his role in the Holy See's costly London real estate deal. The Vatican doesn't have an extradition treaty with Britain. But the city state's prosecutors provided evidence to their Italian counterparts who launched their own investigation into Torzi's finances and sought his arrest on an international warrant to stand trial in Italy on charges including tax evasion and money laundering. The London-based Torzi denies wrongdoing in both the Italian and Vatican cases, which will nevertheless proceed in his absence. The case in Italy was launched after Vatican prosecutors had already been investigating Torzi for his role in the Holy See's bungled 350 million-euro investment in a London residential property. Vatican prosecutors have accused
“Finally, justice has been done concerning an arrest warrant that had no juridical or logical sense.” Statement from Torzi’s lawyers Torzi of trying to extort the Vatican of 15 million euros to turn over full ownership of the property. The Vatican tribunal indicted him in July, but his status in the trial has been in limbo because of the extradition proceedings between Italy and Britain and the legitimacy of the Italian arrest warrant that launched them. Italy's highest court, the Court of Cassation, had annulled the warrant in October and sent the case back to the appeals court on the grounds that Italian prosecutors hadn't provided full documentation beneficial to Torzi's defense when the judge was deciding whether to issue the warrant. After evaluating that missing evidence, the Tribunal for Review definitively annulled the warrant, said a statement from Torzi's lawyers Marco Franco and Ambra Giovene. "Finally, justice has been done concerning an arrest warrant that had no juridical or logical sense," the statement said. The lawyers said they would now fight both the Italian and the
Vatican cases "with the necessary serenity." The preliminary phase of the Vatican trial has been dominated by defense motions demanding access to the full scope of evidence gathered by prosecutors, including forensic copies of data from seized cellphones, computers and other electronic devices. During the last hearing, Judge Giuseppe Pignatone ordered Vatican prosecutors turn over the material by Jan. 31 after defense lawyers complained they only had copies of 16 of the 255 devices seized. In a Jan. 31 filing obtained Wednesday, prosecutors refused to hand over any more, saying what had been turned over to date "reproduces in full the documentary compendium" of material necessary for the trial. Defense lawyers say they have the right to all the material seized. Pignatone will likely take up the matter when the trial reconvenes on Feb. 18, but legal experts say there's no disciplinary recourse in the Vatican's legal system when prosecutors refuse to implement a court order.

VATICAN, ITALY BISHOP SLAM “PROFANE” SANREMO PERFORMANCE By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press ROME (AP) — The Vatican and an Italian Catholic bishop on Wednesday protested a performance at Italy's Sanremo music festival that featured a "profane" faux baptism on stage, lamenting in particular that it was broadcast on public television. On the opening night of the annual song contest, a tattooed, bare-chested and barefoot singer named Achille Lauro gyrated and grabbed his crotch as he sang "Domenica" ("Sunday"), backed up by singers from the Harlem Gospel Choir. He finished by kneeling on stage, hands clasped in front
of him as if in prayer, and poured water from a bowl over his forehead. Sanremo Bishop Antonio Suetta said the performance contained "words, attitudes and gestures that are not just offensive to religion, but to human dignity." In a statement, Suetta said he considered not saying anything, knowing that his protest would only draw attention to the performance. But he said he also felt he couldn't stay silent because Italy's RAI state television had allowed images that "mocked and profaned the sacred signs of the Catholic faith by evoking the gesture of Baptism in a dull and desecrating context."
"I believed it necessary to once again denounce how the public service cannot and must not allow such situations, hoping again that someone intervenes at an institutional level," he wrote. The editor of the Vatican newspaper, for his part, penned a short letter in Wednesday's edition of L'Osservatore Romano mocking the "transgression at all cost" impulse of the performance. "Never in history has there been a more transgressive message than that of the Gospel," editor Andrea Monda wrote, recalling that the "great rock artist" David Bowie had once kneeled in prayer on stage — Wembly Stadium in 1992 — but led the crowd in praying the "Our Father."
