Island to know its activities can often extend to matters above the deep blue.

Recently, for example, the club, which has its headquarters on East Broadway in Hamilton, donated $1,800 to 11-year-old Tequeenia Trott, who has had an ongoing kidney ailment. The money, raised through the club's annual fish-fry at Horseshoe Bay in July, will be applied to further treatment for Tequeenia.

Tequeenia is the granddaughter of Blue Anglers member Mr. Clarence Davis.

*** To raise money for a new library, Warwick Secondary School will present the premiere of `Sankofa'' at the Liberty Theatre on Thursday.

The Parent Teacher Student Association came up with this idea as they felt the school's library was outdated and in need of several new books. The movie, which is educational depicts a young black model who has lost sight of her roots. She is taken back in time to see how her ancestors felt to be enslaved in Ghana. PTSA public relations officer Mr. Alvin Daniels said the organisation was determined to get moving with a new library.

"We were finding that the students had to go to Hamilton to find books that they needed and being the size that the school is we felt that that was a bit disgraceful. Everyone in the community uses that school.'' He said the movie delivers an important message to Bermuda's youth: "in order to get to future you have to go back in the past.'' He noted that 230 tickets for the 7.45 p.m. movie had already been sold out of the 270 they had to sell. Tickets -- patron tickets, can be bought for $30 from the school.
