It was mentioned to me that the persons who knocked down and killed the lady jogger while in a Self Drive car were found in Bimini trying to escape to the United States. They should face more charges compounding their hit and run and manslaughter charges. The woman who was charges only $10,000.00 for multiple crimes should be in prison for life and hopefully these newest hit and run persons who were trying to escape justice will not be awarded such a paltry sentence, but also a deep and long incarceration.
Some years ago when Carmichael Road was beautifully uninhabited there were kilns on some properties where conch shells were burned and the powdered result used as a staple for mixing into painting buildings which gave many the colour and protection that is associated with the time - so I have been told!
Internet shopping and home delivery has been affecting the brick and mortar shops to some degree in the U.S. - people complain that retail is suffering with all of the production costs (rent utilities wages taxes) but its popularity is only one sector. Most retail and walk in wholesale shops do well when applying changes to their business formula. There are no real downsides, just excuses and scrambling to find somewhere to point blame when too lazy to figure out how best to use trends to benefit the retail industry.
So many people in charge of vehicles who cannot drive and should not be allowed on the roadways at all. Several years ago the plaque that was mounted on the top of Gregory's Arch denoting the date started and date completed,the architect's name - J. Burnside - and the governor of that period in time - Gregory. It was knocked down by a vehicle too high for the arch and never replaced. It is a destruction of a monument of historical value and an interesting visible record of history lost. WE have to learn to protect our few important historical articacts, and those who destroy them made to make good their damage.
$12,340.00 is such a ridiculously paltry amount to be charged for the amount of offences committed and the life taken. A firm review and imprisonment must be handed down as just penalty and a firm message to others who would do the same.
Moultrie should check his facts. He says that his wife is an indigenous Bahamian. That is totally wrong. The indigenous peoples were killed off and removed by the other existing tribes and the Spanish long before her ancestors or even the Eleutherian Adventurers came to our islands!
