Men could play best of seven national series
It hasn't happened since the Club 9000 Outlaws outlasted the D S Reds from Exuma in seven games in 2001, but now both island associations are calling for it, and it just might spice up one of the most unlikely championship series, which is already highly anticipated. Abaco has never played for the national title in men's softball, and the island of Eleuthera which was once dubbed 'The Softball Capital of The Bahamas', is making a return after 10-plus years. New Providence is missing for the first time in over 20 years, and Exuma which has won two of the past four nationals, is suddenly in a two-year drought. All of this can be traced to arguably the best pitcher in the country, Edney 'The JC Heat' Bethel, who will now be playing in the championship series for the seventh straight year and going after his fourth title over that span.
Colina in Exuma
ColinaImperial Insurance Co. Ltd., the country's largest insurance provider is expanding its presence throughout The Bahamas. Last week the company opened the doors of its first office in George Town, Exuma. The office is located in the Turnquest Star Plaza and staffed by Chantel Dames, Administrator and Deetra Symonette, Marketing Assistant.Dashwell Flowers, Vice President of Sales for Colina-Imperial, said the company already has offices in Nassau and Grand Bahama and felt that Exuma was the most appropriate place to establish an office because of the rapid development and growth taking place on the island. He said the company already has about 1,200 policyholders in the Exumas and expects that number to grow quickly over the next few weeks and months.
According to Mr Flowers the Exuma office will now give Exumians more convenient access to the same cutting edge insurance and investment products which are available in Nassau including the company's New Provider Series, general insurance from Colina General and pensions and annuities from ColinaImperial's sister company CFAL.
