Edible Eleuthera The Pomegranate
By The Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve (LLNPP)
Advertisement
Native to Persia and the Middle East, the pomegranate is now grown throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world (Common Name: Pomegranate; Scientific name: Punica granatum; Family: Lythraceae).
This species can grow up to 16 feet (5 m) in height. It prefers environments that have been disturbed or altered by humans and is not likely to occur in natural areas.
The fruit possesses a thick, reddish husk with a spongy inner wall (called a mesocarp) which houses clusters of seeds in chambers. There is a very thin, fleshy membrane around each seed (called an aril) which contains its juice. The juice can sometimes be mildly sweet or very sour/ tart.
Like most Bahamian fruits, these too are enjoyed directly from the tree, although it can be tricky to determine if they are ripe. Don’t be fooled by the deep red exterior. Here’s a tip for determining ripeness: at the bottom of the fruit is its receptacle. We’ve been told that once it browns and withers or falls off the fruit is ripe enough to be picked.
Pomegranates are usually enjoyed raw, expressed as a juice. They are great garnishes for fruit dishes, salads and beverages.
Punica granatum has been used medicinally in the Lucayan Archipelago to treat gastrointestinal issues and in strengthening teas. The raw juice is also considered an excellent immune booster and blood builder and is a good source of Vitamin C.
If you decide to plant, fresh seeds are best and little preparation is required.

Work Commences on Rock Sound’s Commercial and Fishermen’s Docks
(News Release - The Ministry of Public Works - Rock Sound, Eleuthera) - The construction of the replacement dock in Rock Sound has commenced and is projected to be completed by May 2021.
Works Minister the Honorable T. Desmond Bannister said the existing dock was in a condition where repairs and upgrade were deemed critical.
“The dock in Rock Sound, Eleuthera was in very bad shape. It was crucial that the dock be repaired and upgraded and the existing channel dredged to a deeper depth. The repaired dock will be more convenient for the residents of Eleuthera that utilize the mail boat,” the Minister said. “This structure will allow larger vessels to dock, which will make the loading or unloading of goods or passengers much easier.”
Central and South Eleuthera M. P. Hank Johnson said the P32

Covid-19 pandemic has certainly shifted the concept of business as usual. Recent enhancements to the network infrastructure enables us to provide secure capabilities across a wide network that can scale. Therefore, we’re excited about the establishment of this Business Hub workspace in conjunction with Eleuthera Chamber which will nurture and grow business opportunities in our economy.
To celebrate the opening of this new space, the Chamber will be hosting a grand opening event scheduled to take place Friday, November 20th where they will welcome partners, business owners, and entrepreneurs to the formal unveiling.

people in Eleuthera are “thankful to God” this project has commenced.
Mr. Johnson said, “Residents are more than happy that the government has decided to upgrade the dock in Rock Sound. The people are grateful and it’s a spin off economically, and so we are looking forward to having quite a bit of the residents working on the project so there is quite a bit of positives to it.”
“The dock was in real bad shape and one of the problems we had there was that we were not able to bring in any large size ships because of the shallow depth of the water. Companies therefore discontinued going into Rock Sound and everything had to be trucked out of Governor’s Harbour.”
He added: “Now that they are repairing the dock, putting in a ramp and dredging the basin, we will be able to receive ships of a bigger size and international vessels. Once this dock is completed all of the mail boat services won’t have to come through Governor’s Harbour, they can go directly to Rock Sound.”
The Central and South Eleuthera M. P. said residents will no longer have to transport products from Governors Harbour into Rock Sound.
“It was pretty costly for the residents having to truck items from Governor’s Harbour into Rock Sound. Eleuthera being 110 miles long with one main port of entry at a central location it made it difficult. That is why it is so important to have that docking facility,” he noted. “Rock Sound use to be a main point of entry one time ago, part of it was the developers were in the South and so with that dock being accessible traffic will be reduced quite a bit.”
A & D Gaitor Equipment, Rock & Sand won the contract for the project. The company’s owner, Andrew Gaitor, said the project started in September of this year and great progress is being made.
Mr. Gaitor said, “The barge arrived in Rock Sound, Eleuthera and was offloaded on September 8, 2020. The first thing we did was demolish the old customs warehouse building. Then we made preparations to go out 200 feet from the main dock to prepare for the dredging process. The job requires the dredging to be 125 feet in width and 200 feet in length with a finished level at nine (9) feet water depth at low tide. The dredging is scheduled to be completed by October 16, 2020.”
“After the dredging process is completed we will install sheet piles. The sheet piles are scheduled to arrive in Rock Sound on October 30, 2020. The piling process will commence November 6, 2020 and the completion date is estimated to be January 31, 2021. As is relates to the refurbishing and extension of the concrete dock, we are hoping work will commence the second week of February next year.”
He added: “The fishermen’s dock removal and demolition was scheduled to begin October 22, 2020. The estimated completion date is January 2021.”
The Ministry spoke to residents and business owners who expressed their gratitude for the new dock. 700 Wines & Spirit manager, Oria Culmer, said the new dock will be very convenient for business. “We will be able to receive our products earlier. This was much needed because sometimes the trucks bringing the goods are late. I’m for it definitely, I’m glad they’re replacing it. I’m very glad this is happening because it is better for the community.”
Eleuthera Stationary Office and Supplies owner Michelle Gibson said she was happy to see “our tax paying dollars being put to good use”.
“I think this is a good thing the government is doing for Eleuthera. I think the community and myself are happy work is being done.”

Next Generation (Originally published – August 2016)
In the 1950’s when I was growing up as a young boy living in a neighborhood where we were surrounded by people of many nationalities and skin colors, it was difficult for me to understand why there were people in the world who hated other people simply because of the color of their skin. At that time my dad rented cars and drove a taxi and I became use to meeting people from other countries and of both light and dark skin colors. It was apparent that the people of light skin color seemed to have more money and were highly respected because of it. My mother would often tell me and my other brothers and sisters that God made people of every kind and that all were to be loved and respected, and that it made no difference if they were rich with money or had light or dark skin. It was during that same time that people of dark skin color were protesting in the United States and other countries, for equal rights and freedom from racial discrimination. Here in the Bahamas where we were also experiencing similar discriminations, it was easy to adapt a position of hate, based on the color of your skin. It was also during that time that I became deeply interested in learning about the rest of the world and how other people were affected by hate and prejudice. Also in the Bahamas, the Government was becoming more influenced by the trends that were taking place in the other Caribbean countries where former Colonial Powers were being pushed to relinquish power to the local citizens. If you were looking for something to hate, there were multiple choices; I chose to follow the teachings of Jesus and with the help of God see all people as my neighbors and love each one based on the love I receive from Him. In the Bible we are instructed to teach the next generation of our experiences of God’s love and faithfulness, so that they will not stray away from truth into evil, lies, and deception. We must teach them to love God and their neighbor to avoid repeating the mistakes that come from ignorance. You can read about the experiences of the Israelite nation in the book of Judges; they were God’s chosen people and were promised by God that He would bless them if they were obedient to His commands. They would obey and follow God’s will while a Judge who rescued them was alive, but as soon as that Judge died, they would forget God and worship idols. This cycle was repeated over and over until the Prophet Samuel became their leader. It was then that they rejected God’s leadership over them and demanded that He give them a king like all of the other nations. It would seem to me that every new generation fails to learn from the previous one and as a result go on to repeat the same mistakes, only becoming worse and worse.
As I observe the subtle trends taking place in our country I remember the events of the 1930’s in Germany when the Nazis transformed that country into a hell-on-earth. It began with simple changes like all people having to register under their racial profile, become uniformed, and eventually all swore allegiance to one man, who they worshiped as a god. Many others have tried this form of dominance over the people they lead, it happens when people remain idle and quiet when they see, hear, feel, smell and taste subversion, but do nothing. We in this beautiful country of The Bahamas, and who live on the “Island of Freedom” Eleuthera are becoming more and more isolated from each other, as we adapt universal customs and laws that diminish social interaction and make us robotic. Our educational system has all but taken over the lives of our children who are being pressured to perform in a single examination that takes no regard of the multiple personalities and abilities of individual students. The silence goes much deeper and is more destructive when our Courts-of-Law are designed to protect the offender at the expense of the offended. Our laws are enforced under the presumption that the offended has maximum, and all inclusive private insurance, and thus all it focuses on is the apprehension and punishment of the offender; and that

too at the expense of us all. Unless we all wake up and see what is happening all around us in other countries, learn from the past and not repeat the mistakes of the last generation, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. You can only feel sorry for the future generation when you observe the isolation, lack of communication skills, and failure to interact with older persons by our developing students and teenagers. With the complexity of living in a world filled with all its temptations and distortions……. we are seeing a generation that does not know God.
Double Homicide Claims the Lives of Father and Child
Young Jeremy Green and his father, Jamoric Green.

Police reported that an adult father and his four-year old son were killed in Eleuthera on Saturday, October 3rd, 2020. Authorities on the island are still actively investigating the circumstances surrounding their deaths. According to Police, a number of people have been taken into custody in connection with this matter. The latest arrests in the case were made during the week of October 12th - 16th, however, all suspects were released, confirmed authorities.
Initial reports indicate that shortly after 5pm, on October 3rd, Police in Eleuthera were alerted to the fact that a man and his young son, were found unresponsive on a property in the settlement of Rock Sound. Officers were said to have responded, and on arrival, they discovered the bodies of an adult male, and a juvenile male with apparent gun shot injuries. The victims, who were later identified as 35-year-old Jamoric Green and his son Jeremy Green, were pronounced dead.
Officers then received additional information that a white vehicle with two children, related to the victims at the double homicide scene, were also missing.
Reports say that detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department in New Providence were dispatched to Eleuthera. A short time after their arrival, the investigators discovered the missing white vehicle through a dirt road, north of Rock Sound, with two young children still inside and they were unharmed.
Speaking to reporters in New Providence following the homicides, Police Commissioner Paul Rolle was quoted saying that the gunmen who had shot and killed the man and his son had followed the family to their Rock Sound property, which was some distance off the main road, to carry out the attack.
“The assailants then jumped in his vehicle and drove off. I don’t think they realised that the children were in the car and once they realised they ditched the car, but we found the car sometime later. Both of the children were reunited with the mother...regrettably, the father and one of the siblings were killed in that incident,” the Commissioner was quoted as saying, by a Nassau daily.
Police made an appeal to members of the public, especially persons on Eleuthera, who may have any information that could assist with this investigation to contact the Police at 919, 911, Crime Stoppers or any police station in Eleuthera.
