Today on Morning Blend, the track club on tiny Moore’s Island has been breaking records, earning accolades and making waves for a number of years now. It’s all been under the tutelage of coach Pastor Anthony Williams. What Williams has been able to accomplish on this tiny cay just off the west coast of Abaco – which has no track, just an open space in a field – has captured the attention of many, including businessman Nick Dean. Dean, along with his partners, has helped develop the Moore’s Island Student Athlete Program (MISAP).

Last year was a challenging one for the Yellow Elder community; there was an unprecedented number of murders and other violent crimes in the area in 2014. Hoping to reverse these disturbing trends, community leaders are joining forces to launch a series of “Spring Cleaning, Community and Fellowship Events”. We speak with Reuben Rahming and Collin Ingraham about what’s slated for Saturday, March 21, including a massive community cleanup encompassing Yellow Elder and also Millennium Gardens and Stapledon Gardens. Events also include a community rush out, memorial service and community “grill & chill”.
