Breaking the seal of silence
The Rotary Club of East Nassau recently presented thirty hearing impaired children throughout the Bahamas with new hearing aids and hearing aid replacements. As the children gathered in Doctors Hospital's conference rooms to be fitted with molds for their new hearing aids, or replacement hearing aids, the excitement could be felt in the air. The children, from Nassau, Andros, Abaco, Freeport and Eleuthera, enjoyed a day of fun and play, complete with clowns, face painting, games and balloons as Audiologist, Kim Scriven, and visiting Audiologist, Dr Ronald Jones, who traveled to the Bahamas at his own expense, to render assistance, adjusted the new hearing devices to fit each child's specification. Dr Ronald Jones who is also a Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders of the Department of Allied Health, Norfolk, Virginia, also presented a public lecture on "Current Theories And Practices In Teaching Reading And Writing To Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing" to the parents and attending teachers from The Centre For The Deaf.
Joseph U. Albury, Boat-builder
Joseph Uriah Albury was born in Man-O-War Cay, Abaco on 6 October, 1944. He is a boat-builder as were his father Lewis Uriah Albury, grandfather Captain "Eddie" Albury and great-grandfather Thomas Albury, before him. He is also a descendant of Uriah Saunders of Green Turtle Cay. He was at the Island Roots Heritage Festival in Green Turtle Cay in May of this year (2006) demonstrating his tools, showing his models and giving dinghy demonstrations. I interviewed Joe Albury in 1993 when I was doing research for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival held in Washington D.C. in 1994. I was impressed by his dedication and skill as a boat builder. He told me how he had learned the craft and how boats were built. But first it is necessary to describe the importance of boats in the Bahamas' early years.
