Luxury charter flights set for Bahama Islands out of South Florida

Charter service offering luxury flights to five Bahama Islands, Spring 2015

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, October 15, 2014 - Wynsome Davis, Manager of The Bahamas Tourist Office, Abaco, recently expressed high praise for IJet Charters who has announced plans to offer scheduled charter service to Abaco Island and four other Bahamas destinations from Fort Lauderdale as well as flights to Abaco from New York, Spring of 2015.

Davis was one of many of the key influencers, media and other government officials in Abaco who toured the airline on Tuesday to view the state of the art aircraft, that was in Marsh Harbour on its introductory trip to the Island – the actual flights to Abaco and the other Bahamas Out Islands, are scheduled to begin in April of 2015.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Abaco, Davis said.   Affordable and adequate airlift has been a challenge for sometime for us so this new service is a plus for the destination.  This is in fact a huge plus for Abaco especially with our new terminal,” the tourism official said.

Jim Swieter, founder of IJet Charters, which is providing marketing and reservations for the scheduled charter, advised that the company’s plans are to fly direct scheduled flights, April through August, from Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour, Abaco; Freeport, Grand Bahama, Bimini;  Georgetown, Exuma and North Eleuthera.  He said that the scheduled charters will fly out of Sheltair at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), which will streamline the check-in process. Some return flights will arrive at FLL Terminal 4.

“This definitely will be the top-of –the-line service choice for all airlift currently servicing the Bahamas,” said Swieter, who added that all flights will offer complimentary beverages,
all premium class seating and high-speed travel. He also disclosed that the company is
looking to schedule a non-stop from New York to Marsh Harbour during the high season.

Abaco Island currently has daily service from the U.S. on American out of Miami; Silver Airways out of Fort Lauderdale, Miami and seasonally out of Orlando; Sky airlines also operate four flights per week out of Fort Lauderdale and Bahamasair out of West Palm Beach.  Davis said that discussions are already taking place for additional new carriers to fly to the destination.

Davis shared that the luxury aircraft’s intended flights to Abaco, is perfect timing, as Abaco’s new airport is expected to be fully completed when the services start next spring.
There was a soft opening of Abaco’s new International Airport terminal in May of this year.  The opening has provided opportunities for Abaco businesses in terms of shop spaces.  Also   the expanded space in the new terminal allows for passengers arriving and departing the Island to be comfortably accommodated. A new tower has been constructed and upon final completion will allow for night flights.  Further, plans are well underway for the upgrading of the runway to accommodate large jets.


The aircraft to be used for the new services to Abaco and the other Islands, is a Saab 2000 twin-engine high-speed aircraft with an average cruising speed of 425 mph with a maximum certified ceiling of 31,000 ft and a non-stop range of 1,300 statute miles. Crewed by three, it is equipped with an “all glass” flight deck (Collins Pro-Line IV).  Meregrass’ Saab 2000 is the first and only aircraft of its type to operate on a 135-charter certificate.  It seats 30 passengers in a cabin designed to accommodate 50.  Consequently the seat pitch provides ample legroom.

Little would one suspect to hear a 5-year old student at a charter school in Atlanta, Georgia screaming at the top of her voice: “Where is Bahama Man?!” But it is happening; and it is happening more and more at a growing number of kindergarten and elementary schools in the Atlanta area.

BahamaMan© is a story book character created by Tyrone Sawyer II, a standout Bahamian track & field athlete, and his wife Jemima. Under the aegis of their company, Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse LLC, the Sawyers have introduced a fun, innovative way to reach children between two and twelve years old, which is widely considered to be the most vital stage of their development. Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse is a cultural children’s program that teaches Geography, Foreign Languages and Music through the use of its unique characters and original songs.

The Heart Ball Committee is back at it again. Despite current economic challenges and imposing changes to the economy, The Heart Ball Committee recently met to plan their upcoming events. This group of dedicated volunteers give their time and efforts to raise funds to help repair the hearts of children.  When Committee members Zelia Bethell (recent honouree) and Linda Lafleur (treasurer) were asked, why they do what they do, they replied as follows:

Mrs. Lafleur, “ I do it because it’s a charity I have become passionate about; it’s something I enjoy doing. I do it to assist the children. The reality is, this is the only avenue most children diagnosed with heart disease have to obtain heart repair”.

Mrs. Bethell indicated, “I was taught, all of my life that you should give back; as it is better to give than to receive. This was my parents’ motto. Additionally, being a nurse, I have a passion for people’s health. This cause is particularly dear to my heart because it is helping the future generations; we may be helping a future prime minister”.

The Heart Ball Committee is the fund raising arm of The Sir Victor Sassoon (Bahamas) Heart Foundation. It is a non-profit entity established in 1961 that helps to repair the hearts of children. The Heart Foundation works along with the Bahamas Heart Association to educate the public, about heart care, in hopes of preventing heart disease in adults and children.

Heart care is not cheap. One surgery can cost over $100,000 dollars. As such, the Heart Ball Committee works feverishly to raise funds to save lives. They host two major fund raisers yearly – the Annual Tea Party & Fashion Show and the Annual Heart Ball. The Tea Party and Fashion Show is scheduled to be held at Mt. Fitzwilliam, Government House, on Sunday, November 23rd, 2014. The Annual Heart Ball is scheduled to be held on Saturday, February 14th, 2015 at Melia Nassau Beach. These events are open to the public a minimal donation.

When asked what guest can expect from these events, PR Officer Ingrid Sears stated, “Guests can look forward to an enhanced product offering. In terms of the Tea Party and Fashion Show, guests can expect a fun, enjoyable and entertaining time.  The theme for this year’s Tea Party is a Victorian High Tea. Hats and gloves are encouraged. Of significance this year, Twinings has agreed to be the major tea provider to give us a truly Victorian High Tea feeling. Additionally, there will be many vendors displaying their products.

In reference to The Ball, The Ball Committee seeks to enhance it. Because much effort was placed into hosting the 50th Annual Heart Ball, the goal for the 51st Ball is to do no less. As such, the Heart Ball Committee will build on what was done and offer guests something to write home about; more will be revealed in time”.

Ms. Sears went on to say, “Despite all the glitz and glam, we want people to remember, it is about the children. We would like to encourage Corporate Bahamas and the general public to please lend us your support. Your support can mean the difference between life and death of a child. It can also help to relieve the stress parents and guardians face, when their child is in dire need of heart care, but cannot afford it at this time”.

The public can assist The Heart Foundation via:  donations (time, money, gifts), sponsorship, sponsoring events, booklet advertisements, purchase of tickets for the events hosted by The Heart Ball Committee, media support and much more. To find out how you can help, please call 327-0806 or visit sasssooheartfoundation.org.

Know Your Status Campaign @ BTVI

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - Health Education Officer, Emile Lesbott, conducts pre-counseling with BTVI students who were about to take free HIV/AIDS tests during a campus-wide Know Your Status campaign.

Scores of students queued up for a recent campus-wide HIV/AIDS testing at The Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI), all in an effort to know their status and strengthen awareness of the deadly disease.

Highlighted during the day was the 1+1+1=0 campaign which means, one uninfected partner plus one condom plus another uninfected partner equals no HIV infection.  Some staff and faculty members also participated.

According to a Ministry of Health HIV data statement, The Bahamas has experienced success in reducing the number of new HIV infections, as the number of new cases decreased overall by 34% between 2003 and 2012.

Meanwhile, the Know Your Status campaign included how the virus is spread and preventative measures.  Recognizing there are risks involved in unprotected sex, BTVI’s Student Affairs Coordinator, Raquel Bethel, said although abstinence is preferred, those who are sexually active must make responsible choices.

“The reality is young people are sexually active so we feel compelled to educate them on the dangers of unprotected sex.  They need to take the necessary precautions. There is a level of responsibility in safeguarding themselves,” said Ms. Bethel.

GETTING REGISTERED – A BTVI student completes a form just before taking an HIV/AIDS test at the institution’s campus-wide Know Your Status campaign.

The third annual confidential testing at BTVI required a prick of the finger and results were available within 15 to 20 minutes.  On hand to facilitate the free testing were health care workers from the HIV and AIDS Centre of the Ministry of Health, who gave pre and post-test counseling. They were joined by community outreach workers from the President Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Unit - a United States based program.

Community outreach worker, Andi Baillou said it is a passion of his to educate people, encouraging them to take control of their lives.

“Anyone you let into your personal space, in terms of sex, you have to protect yourself and them as well.  Even the older generation needs to wake up.  HIV/AIDS is very serious,” he underscored.

KNOW YOUR STATUS – Scores of BTVI students, faculty and staff recently got to know their HIV/AIDS status.  Pictured here testing a student is Registered Nurse, Branishka Lewis.

A 20-year-old male student said he felt the initiative was essential.  “It’s important to know your status.  Plenty people are sexually active so education is important.  Once there is proper knowledge, you can prevent it from being spread.  You need to take responsibility,” said the soft-spoken young man.

GET TESTED – BTVI student, Gabriel Miller participated in the Know Your Status campaign.

Another student, who is married, chimed in, stating that even some married couples are at risk.  “Not every partner is honest. We have to take this free opportunity because some people are scared to go to the clinics.  I have been faithful for the three years I’ve said, ‘I do,’ but it’s good to know your status,” she stated.

All of them went about naked, even the women. Their forms was well proportioned, their bodies graceful and their features handsome. Their hair was as coarse as the hair of a horse’s tail and short. They wore their hair over their eyebrows, except a little hank behind which they never cut. Some of them paint themselves in black, white or red and wore little ornamentations. Some paint their faces, some other their whole body some their eyes only or noses only. Those that did wear clothing wore only a leaf or a net of cotton over their private parts. This is what Columbus wrote about the people he found in 1492 when he landed on their homeland after one month and a little more after leaving The Canary Islands.

In his attempt to look for a shorter route, little did Columbus know when he spotted the island of San Salvador that he had discovered a New World, for he had expected to reach China and the Far East going west. Instead, he found a tribe called "Lukku-cari" or "island people"; a tribe who, 1500 years ago, inhabited most of what we know as The Bahamas.

Consul General Randy E. Rolle Returns Home to Inspire Youth

Consul General Randy E. Rolle welcomed by Pastor Gilbert Rolle, Jr and Gateway Christian Academy School.

Students to visit Atlanta as guests of Bahamas Diplomat who receives praise from local educators

By Arthia Nixon, The Ambassador Agency
for Bahamas Consul General of Atlanta

(Bimini, The Bahamas)… When Randy E. Rolle left his native Bimini, the island was known as the place where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr wrote portions of his Nobel Prize winning speech and Ernest Hemingway got the inspiration for his classic The Old Man and The Sea. Located just 60 miles off the Florida coast, the tiny north western Bahaman island still lures stars to steal away for sail fishing and day trips.

Randy E. Rolle, now the Consul General for The Bahamas to Atlanta and surrounding states, found himself a hometown hero on his most recent trip to the island. He was taking part in the nation’s Diplomatic Week and his visit with students from Gateway Christian Academy and the Louise McDonald High School was nothing short of inspiring. In addition to reflecting on his youth, he charged students to strive for excellence. He also invited them to take part in a new educational initiative he is developing between The Bahamas and Atlanta.
“The kids were very receptive to Consul General Rolle,” said Louise McDonald High principal, Wesley Rolle. “They know of him because his father is here. But to see someone who walked the same streets they walked, representing not just Bimini but the entire country, was inspiring to them. He talked about his huge responsibility, his portfolio, the areas he represented,  and blew them away.”

Head Girl of the school Taje` Lockhart thanked the Consul General for visiting with her peers and for his encouraging words.

“The Consul General’s visit was most productive,” said Pastor Gilbert Rolle, Jr who serves as principal of Gateway Christian Academy. “He was very transparent with his upbringing. He made a huge impact and what he said made a tremendous impact on the students.”

On a personal note, Pastor Rolle expressed how delighted he and his father were to listen to someone they knew as a small town boy and relative, talk about his achievements. 

“Oh yes, I knew the Consul General when he was still Randy,” said Pastor Rolle. “I knew him since we were children and grew up together. I even stayed in touch with him when he played football in college. To see him now as one of the youngest representatives of our nation coming from such a small island is significant. Most of the time, we see older people in those positions but he’s not even 40 years old and he’s doing an excellent job. I’m proud to be a Biminite and to be a cousin.”

The Consul General ended his visits by inviting students to Atlanta, where his office is based to consider some of the colleges and universities he will be working with to further their education. The students will be guests of the Consul General and will learn the connections between The Bahamas and Atlanta, tour campuses and more. He also invited them to take part in a new educational initiative he is developing between The Bahamas and Atlanta. A part of that connection is the fact that his own father, Randy Rolle, Sr. played baseball with the Atlanta Braves Organization. Both schools are making preparations to participate.
“Being from a small island like Bimini, I know what it feels like to be in your shoes,” Consul General Randy E. Rolle, told the students. “The Bahamas is bigger than Bimini and the world is bigger than The Bahamas. I never thought I would come from the same classrooms you are in, with some of the same teachers you still have here to where I am on today.” 

“Never put limits on your goals and your dreams,” the Consul General went on to say. “You can be what you want to be and it is up to you to focus on your dreams. Regardless of your start, anything is possible.”
