Some see this as a way to prevent future trouble spilling over from the East Coast, should it ever happen, to the usually quiet Bay. Many residents now seem to dream about a simple, much cheaper By pass rather than a huge new bridge construction. Further, Mr. Hackmann Senior was injured. But not seriously I am happy to confirm. Only the presence of a rather brave police OiC, confronted by many, prevented an escalation at this point.

I thought the local silly season was still at least a month away. Unfortunately these recent events will provide ample excuses to re-introduce checkpoints on the bridge, should the authorities choose to. Maybe checkpoints are necessary after all.

We agree with your statement, but feel it is wise to wait a few more days for the dust to settle totally before changing our way of reporting. It is a fine line between News (which can't be kept a secret these days anyhow) and not to spoil our tourist industry. We know this and we are working on improvements all round. Being no experts, not funded by anyone it's a slow learning process. A direct link, on the front page will be added soon to all establishments - like Galaxcy - which have an own Home Page. After all, it is our declared motive to attract tourists and improve AbaY for everyone. Dear Wayne,

The shops were open all day and there was a security meeting that took place this evening. I feel sad about the recent civil unrest and wish people will one day settle their differences peacefully. For those that left.. safe travels..your not missing much in the surf at moment. For anyone who would like to know…. the 21st Sept day is ending and all seems well.
