Bring it to bling it By ALESHA CADET | Tribune Features Writer | acadet@tribunemedia.net

s a local musician, Khreasel Glinton always liked the idea of having a “blinged-out” rhinestone microphone to hit the stage with as she performed. In fact, she liked the idea so much she bought herself some rhinestones and embellished her stage look just as had she imagined. Soon after, Khreasel’s friends convinced there was much more she could do with rhinestones. Because who doesn’t like a little bling in their lives, right? “A friend of mine convinced me to do a tumbler and another, her earpod case. I realised I had a thing for this. Another friend convinced me to make it a business and I officially started Embellish Empire in the month of June after I got my business licence and did loads of research on the art of embellishing,” she told Tribune Weekend. “My service now includes embellishing and or ‘rhinestoning’. During the summer, the rhinestone cups,
lids and shot glasses were in style. Some wanted their names with stones or sometimes their entire cup with stones or pearls. If you bring it, we bling it. Almost anything can be ‘stoned’. There are various types of stones that can be used, but I like using glass, resin and jelly, as it gives the client options depending on their budget. All the stones, even though different material, are still extremely beautiful,” she said. Apart from making occasional costumes for her stage performances, Khreasel said she had very little experience in the field of art and crafts before starting her business. “I love sparkle and glitter. And discovering this new passion of mine, I like that I have time to learn and try different things. I have time at becoming better at a steady pace so that the work I produce is of great quality,” she said. “Arts and crafts, I’ve come to realise, inspire my creativity. It’s just a world of endless possibilities. As for entrepreneurship, no one wants to work for others forever. I have
freedom to express and create what I want when and how I want.” Khreasel is thankful that her customers so far have loved their pieces and have referred her to others seeking that extra bit of sparkle in their lives. “My most memorable client was a someone who had asked me to do a tumbler of a girl that resembled her niece who was going off to college, and I added a little extra touch to it by adding the Bahamian flag at the back in rhinestones. She loved it so much I really felt accomplished,” she said. “My overall goal for Embellish Empire is to see it in stores, to see microphones and stands used on stages for performing; to have every bride want a piece of work that I’ve done at their wedding or bridal shower; to have vendors needing my services in order to make a product they’re selling better. I can see Embellish Empire going places I never thought it would.”

BAHAMASBASED GROUP AMONG FINALISTS FOR PRINCE WILLIAM’S INAUGURAL EARTHSHOT PRIZE LONDON, England –The Grand Bahama-based project Coral Vita could be chosen as one of the first five recipients of a £1 million grant ($1.4 million) as part of the ambitious new Earthshot Prize, a £50 million(close to $70 million) global environment coalition programme. Launched by Prince William and the Royal Foundation in October 2020, the Earthshot Prize aims to unleash

an unprecedented wave of innovation and leadership to tackle the challenges posed by climate change and the threats to our oceans, air, and land. Today, the first ever shortlist of 15 finalists, each with a chance of winning £1 million to support their innovative environmental solutions to the greatest challenges facing the planet, will be announced. Prince William said: “Over half a century ago, President Kennedy’s ‘Moonshot’ programme united millions of people around the goal of reaching the moon. Inspired by this, the Earthshot
Prize aims to mobilise collective action around our unique ability to innovate, problem solve and repair our planet. “I am honoured to introduce the 15 innovators, leaders, and visionaries who are the first ever Finalists for The Earthshot Prize. They are working with the urgency required in this decisive decade for life on Earth and will inspire all of us with their optimism in our ability to rise to the greatest challenges in human history.” The prize is an urgent call to action to the world and aims to turn the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism. It will discover 50 winners over 10 years with the power to repair the planet. Five of the 15 finalists announced today will be awarded the Earthshot Prize and will win £1 million in prize funding for the best solutions of the five Earthshot goals: protect and restore nature; clean our air; revive our oceans; build a wastefree world, and fix our climate.
Q: If you could take a COVID-free trip, where would you go? “Las Vegas, to the Venetian Resort. It looks like a royalty hotel.” The winners will be announced during an awards ceremony on October 17 from London’s Alexandra Palace, broadcast in the UK on BBC One and globally on Discovery. The Bahamas-based Coral Vita, who has shot of winning the £1 million in prize funding, creates hightech coral farms that incorporate breakthrough methods to restore reefs in the most effective way possible. Coral Vita’s land-based farms not only supply corals for restoration projects, but also function as education centers for local communities as well as eco-tourism attractions. It was founded by environmental entrepreneurs Gator Halpern and Sam Teicher. Their team includes both Bahamian and international experts and advisors. Grand Bahama native Alannah Vellacott is the group’s coral restoration specialist. She is joined by fellow Grand Bahamians Tyriq Forbes and Nick von Albedyhll, both coral technicians.

interview
Tremaine Raisa This young marketing expert is here to help aspiring entrepreneurs focus more on originality when it comes to building their brands. She shares with Cara Hunt some important advice on how to get over your fears of failing and owning your dreams.

remaine Raisa chose to forgo a career in education to instead draw on her experience growing up in a print shop to help young entrepreneurs fulfil their dreams and improve their visibility and profit
margins. As the founder of BizChocolate Creative, she focuses on content building and marketing for her clients. “I briefly attended the University of the Bahamas, where my major was secondary English Education, but I ended up not finishing that degree and entered the workforce instead,” she told Tribune Weekend. Tremaine began a career designing e-book covers, primarily for international clients, slowly adding marketing and branding services into her mix of offerings. “It was a natural fit for me because I grew up in a print shop,” she explained. “So that was where much of my knowledge of graphic design came from - from customers wanting to create their books and other business products. So I grew up listening to those stories. It was very familiar to me, and I understood the struggle many of them had in trying to get their ideas to come alive. At the time I didn’t really appreciate it that much though.” Tremaine eventually started her own business BizChocolate Creative. It is a marketing and brand development company which seeks to help their clients build highly connected communities around their work and increase their revenue. “We do this through targeted training, connectionand transformation-driven content, strategic brand development, and result-focused design for social media, websites, launch campaigns, and community touchpoints,” she said. “I came up with the name BizChocolate because chocolate and business are my two favourite things and I decided why not just name my business that.” Tremaine wants to bring that same creative thinking to her clients. “One of my biggest pet peeves is when people start a new business, and they automatically feel that they have to do exactly what everyone is doing. We have a spirit of ‘monkey see, monkey do’ in this country, which I hate. I feel like we have been told that we have to do things a certain way, but then when we do that and we don’t get the results that we wanted, we end up frustrated,” she said. “Sometimes I have clients where it takes two or three meetings before I can get them to let go of what they think traditional marketing should look like.” Tremaine says it is important that business owners be confident in their product and their place in the marketplace. “That is the first piece of advice I would give,” she said. It’s a lesson, she noted, she herself had to learn. “Being in the industry without a college degree there were people who judged me on that and said that I was maybe not as polished as some of the other professionals with degrees in the industry. But I was able to turn that into a plus, because I was confident that I could do what they needed, and people actually said that they relate to me because I don’t use that technical language that goes over their head. Some
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people start a new business and they automatically feel that they have to do exactly what everyone is doing...I feel like we have been told that we have to do things a certain way, but then when we do that and we don’t get the results that we wanted, we end up frustrated.” people are drawn to it. Remember that every person and every product has value to someone,” she said. The second piece of advice she likes to share with aspiring entrepreneurs is to not frustrate yourself. “Sometimes you have to get out of your own head,” she says. “A lot of times...people let the fear get to them and so they talk themselves right out it. They worry what
other people may think about them failing. The fact is that even if you do fail, people may see and react to it today, but by tomorrow so much more is happening that they will have forgotten. “Release that pressure. If you have 80 percent of the idea for the launch or the sale or the project, go ahead with it, and then you figure out the remaining 20 percent along the way. Know where you want to go and what you want to do,” she said. Tremaine said both in business and in life, it is important to own your dreams. “No one else can hold on to them for you. If you don’t carry it, then it won’t go anywhere,” she said. Tremaine said a lot of the work starts in your mind. Imagine scenarios and become comfortable with how you present yourself and how you present your product. “I’ve grown tremendously. I am definitely more compassionate, because while I may be confident to say or do something that is not the reality for other people, that may not be where they are in their journey. Sometimes I would be excited for people to make a move and then get frustrated when they were hesitant. I am also more confident and own that confidence and I think it shows in my work,” she said.

A taste of vacation
By ALESHA CADET | Tribune Features Writer | acadet@tribunemedia.net
M
ost of us haven’t really travelled or enjoyed that vacation feeling since the pandemic started last March. To give both locals and international visitors a place where they escape to for a few hours, the Margaritaville Beach Resort is offering its new Vacation Café. Here, the emphasis is on friendly faces and comfort food in a fun, family-friendly tropical environment. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there is something for everyone. Margaritaville Beach Resort’s Executive Chef Lester Dean said with its made-to-order dishes and hand-crafted cocktails, there is no better spot to sit, sip and savour. The menu includes a variety of Bahamian and American dishes, including the ever-popular conch fritters, conch chowder and a whole fried jumbo snapper. “I’m in love with the entire menu, but if I had to choose, my favourite items would be the conch fritters, blackened chicken pasta, sweet heat chicken sandwich, and the shrimp and lobster dip. They all make my taste buds happy,” said Chef Dean. “One of the things that makes our dishes oneof-a-kind is consistency and standardisation. You can visit our restaurant multiple times, each time you are guaranteed to have the same consistently delicious meal. Also, some of our menu items are unique to Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau. The driving force of this consistency is our team members. They are passionate about what they do and are motivated to execute dishes with a ‘fins up’ attitude to ensure our guests’ satisfaction.” Both local and international guests, Chef Dean said, have come to enjoy the “Margaritaville state of mind.” “Due to the stress of daily life, I believe it’s important to simply take a mental break. Our resort and dining options offer a safe environment following all health and safety protocols while enjoying fun and escapism that Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau has to offer. It’s new, it’s exciting, and it’s an experience. The only adjustment that was made to Vacation Café to fit into the ‘new normal’ was changing the style of our breakfast service from buffet to a la carte. We place emphasis on the health and safety of our guests and team members here at Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau, therefore, this change was a must,” he said. Chef Dean said patrons can also look forward to the opening of the SOS Bar, which will be located by the adults only infinity pool and overlooks the Fins Up water park. “You should also look out for the opening of Frank & Lola’s and Frank & Lola’s To Go, which will offer authentic Italian traditions from pastas to salads and a wide range of pizza options and a diverse selection of Italian wines and grappas,” said Chef Dean.

What’s growing?
J
ust everything outdoors is growing like mad with the rains we have been getting (on New Providence). Lawn grass will need more regular mowing when it rains. Zoysia grass ought to be mowed at a height of around 1 ½ inches unless using a reel type mower, then it can be taken down to 1 inch for an even tighter carpet like effect. St Augustine should be mowed at a height of 2 ½ to 3 inches for optimum growth and thickness. Fungus can be an issue, and if fungus is present use more regular mowing schedules, cut down on watering or water only in the morning, and if it is persistent then a fungicide can be applied for control. Chinch bug is also showing up, and this is easily controlled with an application of a basic lawn pesSNAILS and slugs will be on the march. Use Spinosad or iron phosphate as ticide spray or granular application a barrier and a protectant.
such as Triazicide or Talstar (I prefer granular for many reasons over sprays). Snails and slugs will be on the march. Use Spinosad or iron phosphate (Sluggo is a good brand) as a barrier and a protectant against those hungry gastropods so they don’t get to the veggie patch. Gastropods consume leaf debris as well as growing plants, so they are not all bad, but certainly you’ll want to protect plants of value, such as veggies or slow growing ornamentals. If you have fruit trees that have finished their seasonal fruiting, then now is a good time to prune to create more branching and an increased
fruit crop next season. An application of fertilizer after fruiting is also beneficial to help increase next season’s yield. Do not use nitrogen on mango trees! The application of calcium (most of our soils have high levels) and magnesium with help improve the quality of next season’s fruit. I use a 5-5-15 with minor nutrients, but I avoid anything with a higher Nitrogen content than 5 percent as it inhibits next season’s fruit yield. It is time to get going on annuals and vegetables! I’ve managed to keep a late crop of beets going through the summer, but as I mentioned last week, it is time to get reseeding or transplanting starter plants into pots or the garden. We’ve been steeping up some veg from liners (seeds or cuttings rooted in a tray) this week, including but not limited to lettuce, tomato, mint, eggplant, chives, Swiss chard, beets, broccoli, etcetera. Let’s get growing! I pinch vegetable transplants as soon as they grow 2 or 3 true leaves (where applicable), to help create a stronger stem and increase branching. I see lots of folks getting their seeds sown, and it’s wonderful to watch. Always grow more than you can use or that you may need, so there’s lots to share with family, friends, and neighbours. One thing to note: there is difficulty and delay involved with sourcing just about anything these days, and it is not going away any day soon. Be prepared, as some of the products that you may use through the vegetable growing season may not be available soon, and I think I can speak for just about every sector of the supply chain. It is a challenging time that we are living in for many reasons, and products are not able to be stocked as easily in years past. If you have not started a compost heap or bin, there is no better time than now to get going on it. Good luck, gardeners, let’s hope for a bit more rain for the garden, and as always, I wish you happy gardening! • Adam Boorman is the nursery manager at the Fox Hill Nursery.

art
A henna heritage upheld By JEFFARAH GIBSON | Tribune Features Writer | jgibson@tribunemedia.net
B
AHAMIAN artist Illeana Harvey was first captivated by the art of henna at age eight. The striking and highly intricate designs she saw on the skin of her best friend’s mother forever etched into her memory, so much so that when she hit adulthood exploring the ages old art became inescapable. “My primary school best friend’s mother wore it on her hand. She was Indian. I remember thinking how beautiful it was at the time,” she told Tribune Weekend. Illeana’s evolving skills since starting henna in her 20s has led to her establishing her own brand called Hennergy. She is highly sought after, especially for work onIndian weddings, where Mehndi, as it is called, is a traditional part of those ceremonies. Henna paste is made from a powder derived from the henna plant(Lawsonia inermis).It’s been used for millenniaas a natural dye for hair and nails. In fact, the earliest use of the plant dates back to the
pharaohs in Egypt, some 9,000 years ago. Today, its most well-known use is for body art. The temporary dye is still popularly used to adorn women and men as part of their marriage celebrations. The henna dye usually lasts for about two weeks on the skin. “I like to keep it culturally accurate, so I do a lot of weddings. I get booked for a lot of Indian weddings because it is part Indian and African culture,” she said. The Mehndi or henna ceremony is usually held the night before the wedding. This extensive ceremony takes about six hours as the hands are temporarily tattooed from the fingertips to the elbows on both sides. Traditionally, this is organised by the bride’s family. While Mehndi is mainly for the women, the men are expected to get some form of henna design, even if it is a miniature tattoo.
Illeana especially enjoys doing henna for weddings, even though the process can be quite a lengthy one. “The biggest piece I ever had to do was a wedding henna. Because it’s such a time-consuming process sometimes families book a full day. Some families are very accommodating so throughout the process they bring food and beverages,” she said. “Brides get henna because it is said to give the marriage lots of good fortune and luck. It brings positivity and joy.” As for other Bahamians who book Illeana’s services for birthdays and special events, they are more interested in henna as a form of enhancing their beauty. “Bahamians love henna. At first when I started doing it, it wasn’t popular. People were curious about what it was, it’s significance and spiritual meaning because the designs are so intricate. Most designs have positive meaning; it’s nothing negative or evil. It’s just to pay homage and enhance their beauty,” she explained.
The hands, she said, are the most common place where people get their henna tattoos. “Some people get it on other areas too. If you do it on areas thought like the chest it would not get as dark as if it were on the hand,” she said. Bahamians like the traditional Indian motifs, especially the floral designs. As for the men, they usually get designs that are more “tribal” in nature. Henna is also used by some people who want to “tattoo test” Illeana said. “Some people come and want to get henna first to see if they can follow through on getting a real tattoo. If they can look at a henna tattoo and like it for two weeks, then they would most likely like the tattoo. There’s no sense in getting a tattoo if you can’t take looking at it after two weeks,” she said. For more information about Hennergy, contact 242-810-2122.

Literary lives - Humphrey Bogart (1899 - 1957)
Remembering the Bogey legacy - Part I “I’m not good-looking. I used to be, but not anymore ...What I have got is I have character in my face. It’s taken an awful lot of late nights and drinking to put it there. When I go to work in a picture, I say ‘Don’t take the lines out of my face. Leave them there.’” - Humphrey Bogart Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born on December 25, 1899, in New York City. He was the eldest child of Belmont DeForest Bogart and Maud Humphrey. His father was a Presbyterian of English and Dutch descent. His mother was an Episcopalian of English heritage and a descendant of Mayflower passenger John Howland. Bogart’s father was a cardiopulmonary surgeon, and his mother a commercial illustrator who became art director of the fashion magazine The Delineator, and a militant suffragette. The Bogarts lived in an Upper West Side apartment and had a cottage on Canadaigue Lake in upstate New York. Bogart had two younger sisters, Frances and Catherine Elizabeth. His parents were busy with their careers and had little time for their children. Bogart attended the private Delancey School, and then Trinity School, before he was boarded at Phillips Academy from where he may have been expelled for drinking or for throwing the headmaster into a pond. He disappointed his parents by not going to Yale. At 18 in 1918, Bogart enlisted in the United States Navy during World War I. He was a model sailor and spent most of his time ferrying troops back from Europe. He may have received the scar on his top lip when he was taking a prisoner to Portsmouth Naval Prison in Maine. While changing trains the prisoner smashed him across the mouth with his cuffs. The scar, which also developed his characteristic lisp, took time to heal and he may have had plastic surgery before he entered the film industry in 1930. Returning from the Navy, he found his father in bad health. By then most of the family wealth had been lost in bad timber investments. Bogart worked as a shipper, a bond salesman, and joined the Coast Guard Reserve. He resumed a friendship with Bill Brady Jr, whose father had show business connections. He got an office job with his new World Films company and was a stage manager for Brady’s daughter’s play A Ruined Lady, also getting walk-on parts in some of her subsequent plays. He liked the late hours and the attention they received.
“I was born to be indolent and this was the softest of rackets.” - Humphrey Bogart He spent a lot of his free time in speakeasies, drinking heavily. Bogart never took acting lessons, but he worked steadily appearing in at least 17 Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935, playing either juveniles or romantic supporting roles. While acting in Drifting at the Playhouse Theatre in New York, he met actress Helen Menken and they were married on May 20, 1926. They divorced on November 18, 1927 but remained friends. Menken cited neglect and abuse. He then married Mary Phillips, with whom he had worked in the play Nerves at the Comedy Theatre in 1924, on April 3, 1928. The 1929 Wall Street Crash halted a lot of theatrical productions, and many opportunistic actors, including Bogart, headed for the potentially more lucrative Hollywood. Bogart acted with Helen Hayes on the film The Dancing Town, and also with Joan Blondell and Ruth Etting in Broadway’s Like That (1930). Bogart signed a contract with Fox Film Corporation in 1930 for $750 a week. He met Spencer Tracy and they became close drinking friends. They made a film together, John Ford’s early sound film Up the River (1930). Bogart then had a supporting role in Bad Sister (1931) with Bette Davis. There was not much work for him and he travelled back and forth between Hollywood and New York from 1930 to 1935. He did not have work for long periods and seemed disillusioned with his acting career. His second marriage was on the rocks and he was drinking heavily. In 1934, Bogart starred in the Broadway play Invitation to a Murder at the Theatre Masque. Its producer heard the play offstage and offered Bogart the role of escaped murderer Duke Mantee in Robert Sherwood’s play The Petrified Forest. “When I saw the actor, I realised ... that he was the one I never much admired ... He seemed as far from a cold-blooded killer as one could get, but the voice, dry and tired, persisted, and the voice was Mantee’s.” - Arthur Hopkins Producer, The Petrified Forest The Petrified Forest had 197 performances at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York. Although
HUMPHREY Bogart Leslie Howard was the star, Bogart’s role was electrifying. The best acting of his career. Warner Bros bought the screen rights in 1935. Bette Davis and Leslie Howard were the stars and Leslie Howard made it clear that he wanted Bogart to star with him. Warner Bros wanted Edward Gs Robinson to play the part of Duke Mantee, but Howard, who held the production rights, insisted that there would be no film without Bogart. Again, Bogart’s menacing portrayal of the psychopathic gangster left nothing to the imagination. The film was released in 1936, was successful at the box office, and made Bogart a star. “Bette Davis? Even when I was carrying a gun, she scared the bee-jesus out of me.” - Humphrey Bogart Despite his success in The Petrified Forest, Bogart only managed to get a 26-week film contract out of Warner Bros, at $550 a week, and was typecast as a gangster in a series of violent crime movies. He disliked the films chosen for him, but he worked steadily. “In the first thirty-four pictures for Warner’s, I was shot in twelve, electrocuted, or hanged in eight, and was a jailbird in nine.” - Humphrey Bogart His disputes with Warner Bros over roles and money were constant. Most of the better roles

went to James Cagney or Edward G Robinson, leaving Bogart with films like San Quentin (1937), Racket Busters (1938), and You Can’t Get Away with Murder (1939). He played supporting roles in Black Legion (1937), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), Swing Your Lady (1938), and The Return of Doctor X (1939). “I’ve made more lousy pictures than any other actor in history.” - Humphrey Bogart Bogart’s second marriage to Mary Phillips, who had had something of a stage hit in New York with A Touch of Brimstone, was crumbling. They divorced in 1937. He then entered a third turbulent marriage to actress Mayo Methot on August 21, 1938. They were both heavy drinkers and were known as “The Battling Bogarts”. Although pleasantly friendly when sober, she was paranoid and aggressive when drunk. She set their house on fire, stabbed him with a knife, and slashed her wrists several times. Convinced that Bogart was unfaithful to her, they gradually drifted apart.
BOGART, Leslie Howard, and Bette Davis in The Petrified Forest, 1936 versions of the book and the producer Hal B Wallis initially offered the part to George Raft, who turned it down because his film contract stipulated that he did not have to appear in remakes. Bogart got the part of Sam Spade, who made the film with Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Mary Astor as the poisonous female foil. The film was a boost for John Huston’s young career and a commercial success. Bogart’s seemingly passive facial expressions and brilliant timing were praised by everyone and cemented his position as a star.
“I always cry at weddings, especially my own. I like a jealous wife ... we don’t have illusions about each other ... I wouldn’t give you two cents for a dame without a temper.” - Humphrey Bogart High Sierra (1941) was directed by Raoul Walsh and written by John Huston – a friend and Bogart’s drinking partner. It was Bogart’s last film as a gangster. Huston and Bogart had a strong proficient respect for each other, Bogart envying Huston’s skill as a writer. In return, Huston admired Bogart’s acting talent and intense concentration on the set. They were both rebellious, enjoyed late night drinking sessions and had lots to talk about. “The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - Humphrey Bogart Huston and Bogart developed a strong and lasting professional relationship, and they made many fine films together – the first being The Maltese Falcon (1941) – John Huston’s directional debut. The film, never considered as a classic film noir, is based on the Dashiell Hammett novel, which was first serialised in the Black Mask pulp magazine in 1929. There had been two earlier film

COLONEL Andrew Deveaux led the recapture efforts
Robert Rumer - The unsung Bahamian hero
M
any (most?) Bahamians are not familiar with the name Robert Rumer, but if it had not been for him, Colonel Andrew Deveaux may never have come to Nassau
THE 1783 commission to recapture Nassau
the French had a habit of invading Nassau (and a few other spots in the Bahamas) and destroying most of what was there. In 1741, Lord Montagu sent Captain Peter Henry Bruce to build what he named Fort Montagu, because England and Spain were fighting the War of Jenkins Ear and Nassau’s defences were inadequate. For more than 30 years, Fort Montagu was never called upon to fire its guns in anger then, in 1776, during the American War of Independence/American Revolution, the Continental Navy invaded Nassau with a contingent of Continental Marines who attacked and captured Fort Montagu. The Americans stayed long enough to strip the island of its cannonballs, guns and gunpowder. That was the first voyage of what later became the US Navy and the first amphibious assault by the Marines. Once the Americans left, the island became British again, until, a few months later, the Americans attacked Fort Nassau. Once again, they helped themselves to what they came for and quickly departed, leaving these islands in British hands. Having failed to defend the island in 1776, Fort Montagu failed for the second time when a large Spanish fleet sailed in from Cuba, captured the fort and stayed for about one year. History shows that in the peace treaty ending the American Revolution, Spain agreed to restore the Bahamas to England. The occupiers of Nassau knew this and probably let their guard down, while Robert Rumer, a Bahamian refugee who had sailed away from Spanish-held Harbour Island and taken up residence in St Augustine. Rumer and several other Bahamian exiles lobbied the governor of East Florida to commission the many Loyalists, who were living in St Augustine, to invade and re-capture Nassau. The governor offered little encouragement, but Romer and his Bahamian associates were able to finance and organise an invasion and provide many veterans to carry out his ambitions. To lead this invasion force, Rumer enlisted the services of Colonel Andrew Deveaux, formerly of South Carolina. The post of second-in-command was offered to the person who brought the most followers with him - and the rest is history.
in 1783 and my mother’s great-great-grandfather (Major Archibald Taylor) would not have been his second-in-command. After Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, European powers vied to colonise the multitude of islands that lie between South and North America; they settled the many islands in the New World. Spain was the first, but England, France, Portugal and the Netherlands were frequently attacking the territories of their rivals. Many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea changed hands multiple times, but the Bahamas escaped most of these incursions, probably because there was not much here to FORGOTTEN FACTS fight for.

By the sea, by the wonderful sea! By KIM ARANHA Animal Matters
Y
esterday, I celebrated Election Day by spending a few hours on the beach before going home in anticipation of pulling out the tally sheet and writing down all the numbers and listening very avidly for the count - our political lives change regularity; our leaders change frequently, parties criss-cross, one term one, one term another... our glorious Bahamas remains just that, whoever is in charge. The names of our leaders change, but my general prayer for this little island nation is that whoever leads us does so with an unparalleled enthusiasm and love for the nature that surrounds us. Yesterday was one of the most beautiful beach days anybody on earth could wish for. The sun was shining bright, the clouds were puffy and white, looking a lot like fluffy marshmallows floating about randomly on an indigo background. The water, well, the water was just perfect. Words really can never do the water of the Bahamas justice. The sea was as calm as a cup of tea, the horizon stretched out for seemingly hundreds of miles, challenging one to see where the sea ended and the sky started. Walking down the fine white sand beach, I could already see the schools of small fish swimming busily around the edge of the beach, and some of the not so little fish a few feet out. There is a large school of very mature palometa fish who dare to come up very close to anybody swimming in the sea. I am sure that over the years they have been encouraged to do so with pieces of bread or corn chips. The additional snacking may also explain their size… some of them are seriously large and quite cheeky, and they will come right up to you and nibble at your hair, or foot or bathing suit! Today, whilst basking in this picture postcard perfection, I heard the idle cry of the sea gulls as they flew by and the chirping of some busy sandpipers rushing along the beach all together rather like a gaggle of
teenage schoolgirls discussing their latest crush. This, my friends, is the Bahamas, or at least this is what my Bahamas is all about. The perfect harmony of nature, the sea, sky and land all joining together to create perfection. Long may it last… or no? The future of our country relies heavily on the continuation of this harmony, the pristine beaches and sea, the miles of visibility, the clean, clean, air. These are the biggest assets we have in this country. Seven-hundred islands of beautiful nature, above and below the water. People come from around the world
to enjoy holidays in this place we call home that we have become a little blasé about. Sometimes we lose sight of the importance of the natural perfection, and we get heavily hooked up with development that eventually will compromise that which we are the proudest of. Yesterday, my little niece and her dad were snorkelling. She is fouryear-old. She saw a Nassau grouper and a crawfish, she told me. She was explaining how the crawfish’s antennae work. She knew, at this tender age, about some of our national treasures. No. Nobody spear-fished then, there is no spear-fishing on the north shore of New Providence, had you forgotten? Judging by the number of people you see breaking that law, I would say many people have forgotten. While we chatted about the crawfish and grouper, we saw her dad
got bitten on the foot by a crab who clearly was reclaiming his position on the seabed from us, the intruders. No, he was not disturbed…it’s his seabed. Then came the icing on the cake. Just before leaving the beach, my last few minutes submerged in that marvelous water, I see a fin, I see two fins. First,I think maybe a shark, then I decide, no, probably the wings of a large manta ray, but no again! The best of the best: two magnificent wild porpoises making their way across the shimmering bay. They ambled from one side to the other before heading out to sea, two old friends enjoying a stroll in the midday sun. Nobody chased after them. All the nature seen that day, on the beach, was left to its own devices, free to move around in their habitat that I temporarily invaded in order to enjoy a swim in their ocean. The gnawing concern in the back of my mind is how much longer will we be able to enjoy those few hours at the beach, as I did yesterday, before we ruin everything in the name of progress? For some bigger buildings, lots of condos, huge cruise ships and millions of visitors spell success. No, my friend, yesterdays at the beach is what it’s all about.

“Well, in spite of my masculine name, I’m actually a girl, a young one at that, being about six months old. I’d kind of like to become one of the Bahamas Humane Society’s new shelter dogs, but they tell me I must at least try to get myself adopted, so here I am. I get along well with most other dogs, and I do leave the cats alone unless they provoke me. I’m pretty outgoing and don’t mind meeting new people so I hope you’ll like me when you meet me. I’d love to learn about the beach and houses and yards and things like that, if you’d be willing to show me. For more information, please call 323-5138 or come in.
