But some parents in the Achterhoek would occasionally like to call this bogeyman out to warn their offspring.  Beware of the ditch, the pool, the well!  Or as they used to say in their dialect: 'The bunch of coins is under the deck!  Do not hesitate to pour dense bi-j or water in the vortex!

Sad news from Abaco

Death Toll From Boat Sinking Off Abaco Rises To 28 To provide a lite update on the sunken boat this morning, the unofficial information so far indicates that about 10 migrants were found alive, and approximately 16 deceased. It is so far uncertain how many people were on the boat but numbers circulating indicate between 40 to as many as 100 persons were on board. The vessel went down just outside Fowl Cay and BASRA, RBDF, RBPF, USCG and others have been scouring from Man-O-War to just outside Baker’s. Searches are expected to be ongoing throughout the weekend. Pray for the victims and all the officers and volunteers who are out searching for survivors. Just on dark, right in front of the house. https://youtu.be/XjovLQd0hCY http://www.tribune242.com/news/2019/feb/03/death-toll-boat-sinking-abaco-rises-28 /
