SEX ASSAULT CHARGE

Tad Stoner

tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Dressed in a fresh green polo shirt and blue jeans, Jeffrey Barnes appeared in summary court on Friday morning, charged with one count of sexual assault.

Unrepresented, Mr Barnes was assisted by attorney John Furniss in front of Magistrate Nova Hall.

Crown Counsel Candice James appeared for the prosecution.

“The basis of the allegation is an assault,” Mr Furniss told the court. “I want to talk to Mr Barnes about it,” he said, seeking a delay.

Barnes was charged with a 27 October attack on a 17-year-old, a member of the ex-convict’s family.

Ms Hall suggested bail was unlikely to be an issue, echoed by Ms James, who opposed any move to release Mr Barnes. He has already served a prison sentence for one rape, escaped at least once and was recently charged with a second rape.

“I have no problem with that,” Mr Furniss said, “but will ask him to sign a Legal Aid form.”

“Will you be involved in the general matter?” she asked the

defence counsel.

“I doubt it,” he said.

While Ms Hall witnessed the application, she referred it elsewhere for consideration, then placed Barnes in police custody.

“You are formally remanded, and will be brought back to Summary Court on 7 November at 10am,” she told him.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Barnes did not speak during the appearance, whispering only with Mr Furniss as he initialed the Legal Aid application.

Scrap metal sets sail for US

Cardinal D, a local shipping company, was engaged in loading a huge barge with scrap metal bound for Tampa, Florida, where it will be smelted and shipped to China.

Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com

About 4,000 tonnes of scrap metal from the George Town Landfill, dubbed Mount Trashmore, was heading out of George Town Harbour, on its way to Tampa, Florida.

The 87 metre-long barge, the Winbuild 303 - which itself weighs over 3,000 tonnes, is the first shipment of scrap metal since the Tenders Committee awarded a contract for handling the scrap to local shipping company Cardinal D earlier in the year.

“It ends up at Tampa, at OneSteel, a very large company,” Mr Jill Bodden, owner of Cardinal D, said.

There, Cayman’s old cars, fridges, trucks and bicycles will be smelted down, and the recycled steel will be shipped, in huge ocean-going ships, to China, where they will be reincarnated –ready to start life all over again as shiny new useful items.

The company oversees all the

Juliana O’Connor-Connolly sees the scrap get loaded from Mount Trashmore.

operations between Mount Trashmore and the barge shipment to Tampa.

“We pay the Cayman Islands government CI$70 per tonne for the scrap steel, which has already been processed through the governmentowned compactors,” Mr. Bodden said.

Mr. Bodden believes that his company will have to send out about one such shipment a year, to deal with all the island’s scrap metal.

“The barge takes a total of seven days to load,” Mr. Bodden said. This week, it had to move away from the dock for a while in order to let other boats in. “She should be ready to sail on Sunday (6), though,” Mr. Bodden added.

Cardinal D won the contract from the Central Tenders Committee in July this year, after a total of eight other companies submitted their applications, back in February.

Rapha “Rollover must change says Tony Travers” Medical Centre Anthony Travers tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Anthony Travers would agree with Ezzard Miller about rolling over expatriates, but the North Side MLA cannot say how to replace the financial-service’s $275 million per year in government revenues.

Nor can Mr Miller say, Mr Travers charged, what other industry will employ 600 Caymanian school leavers each year.

At a Harquil Theatre panel discussion of immigration policy on Thursday night, Mr Miller disagreed, however. He said Caymanians were perfectly able to run the financial industry.

Expatriate managers should be “rolled over” upon expiry of their seven-year term limit, he said, making way for trained Caymanians, and, in fact, called for cancellation of work permits for 12 expat lawyers on Friday morning.

“The problem is that the legal industry,” he said, “was developed as a facilitator to the global financialservices industry, and the top-level people you want to talk to are in New York and Hong Kong.”

The five-member group, sponsored

by Generation Now -- formed to promote youth development and public dialogue -- comprised Mr Miller; Chairman of the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange and former Chairman of Cayman Finance Anthony Travers; Chamber of Commerce President James O’Neil; attorney, Co-Chair of the United Democratic Party, head of the Immigration Review Team and the recently appointed Term Limit Review Committee Sherri Bodden-Cowan; and Leader of the People’s Progressive Movement Alden McLaughlin.

Moderated by Rooster radio’s “Cayman Crosstalk” host Austin Harris, the three-hour debate -- before a half-full auditorium – concluded the rollover policy had failed, but for different reasons.

While most sought dramatic changes, longtime advocate Mr Miller said stricter enforcement to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

was necessary, providing greater opportunity for Caymanians.

Mr O’Neill “totally disagreed,” saying only dramatic changes to the policy could avoid massive economic “knock-on effects”.

Mr Travers was more blunt, however, forecasting “catastrophic damage” without revision.

“How are you going to stand up when 50% of government revenues are produced by the financialservices industry? The professionals will not come to this island if they have seven years. Hong Kong and Singapore is where they are going.

The Cayman Islands is not even on the radar as people are moving out of the City of London. This financial services industry is in deep trouble,” Mr Travers said.

Mr McLaughlin rejected the remarks as alarmist, however, saying government fee hikes for registration and work permits, coupled with an escalating cost of living, were driving the industry away.

He recommended “taking the bull by the horns” and repealing both rollover and the “key employee” designation, replacing them with a singe eight-year permit that welcomed holders to apply for permanent residence.

While Mr Miller agreed that Cayman needed to attract “a new breed” of financial professionals, he blamed “incompetent government” for the problems.

Mr Travers said Cayman needed “sophisticated, high net-worth”

Austin Harris

persons, and their new “investment broker/dealer” businesses.

He regretted that “thousands of fund administration jobs had left the country”, and said 50% of them were held by Caymanians.

He agreed with Mr Miller that ”grotesque abuses” of policy had occurred through lack of training, staffing forecasts and promotion of accomplished Caymanians, but said it was an enforcement problem, unrelated to term limits and rollover.

He also accused Mr Miller of “scare-mongering” and “ranting” by saying Caymanians had lost economic control of the islands and would lose political control if the rollover were lifted.

“Voting rights are controlled by the constitution,” he said.

“Financial professionals bring inward investment.

“We need proper enforcement, and the answer is not to destroy the economy and not attract investors, but to make sure abuses are corrected.

“Cayman,” he said, “has to attract the brightest and the best, but they will not be attracted with a sevenyear or a 10-year limit. They have their pick of jurisdictions, and we are not even on the top-10 list.”

Finally, calling for a “human resources authority” to match immigration applications with labour needs, Mr Miller said, “the rollover should stay. Those that leave, nine out of 10 will be replaced.

What we need is border control.”

NZealand girl, 3, alone for two days after mom dies WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A 3-year-old girl, alone for two days after her mother died unexpectedly in their New Zealand home, lived on cheese, leftover lasagna and milk and comforted herself with her teddy bear.

The girl’s uncle, Pete Silbery, told The Associated Press on Friday that the family last spoke to the mother, Lauren Silbery, on Oct. 19. Two days later, they were worried enough to call a friend who lived near the 28-year-old’s Wellington home. The friend could see Lauren’s daughter, Shylah, inside the home, but not the mother, prompting the family to call police, Pete Silbery said.

Police coaxed Shylah to drag a coffee

table to the door so she could reach the lock and unlock the door, before she told them, “Mummy won’t wake up,” Silbery said.

“I can only imagine her in there for that long, trying to wake Mum up as well,” he said.

Silbery said Shylah endured the two days alone by finding food in the refrigerator and holding her teddy bear, named “Possum.”

Shylah spent several days in a hospital recovering from dehydration and diaper rash.

“She’s doing OK now. She’s still bubbly,” he said. “When we lowered the coffin into the grave at the

cemetery, though, she pointed at it and said, ‘Mummy’s in there.’ It was pretty heartbreaking.”

Police: Bieber sexual tryst may be investigated LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman who claims Justin Bieber fathered her baby in a backstage bathroom could be investigated for having sex with a minor because the singer was 16 at the time.

While no crime has been reported, Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday that the department could investigate after Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit against the teen heartthrob in San Diego Superior Court.

“If it’s brought to our attention, of course we’ll look into it,” Smith said.

Yeater had just turned 19 when she says she and Bieber, then 16, had a brief sexual encounter after one of the singer’s concerts at Staples Center. She said she gave birth to a boy in July and believes Bieber is the father because there were no other possible men she had sex with at that time.

She is asking a judge for child support and a paternity test. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 15.

Bieber’s camp has denied he is the child’s father.

California law states anyone who has

unlawful sex with someone under 18 and is not more than three years older is guilty of a misdemeanor, which carries up to a one-year jail sentence.

Researchers complete 520-day mock mission to Mars MOSCOW (AP) — Pale but smiling, an international crew of researchers on Friday walked out of a set of windowless modules after a grueling 520-day simulation of a flight to Mars.

The all-male crew of three Russians, a Frenchman, an Italian-Colombian and a Chinese slowly emerged from the western Moscow facility, which simulated the confinement, stress and fatigue of interplanetary travel — minus the weightlessness. Dressed in blue track suits emblazoned with the mission emblem, they carefully walked down a metal ladder to a greeting crowd of officials and journalists.

“The crew has completed the experiment,” team leader Alexey Sitev to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

reported to Russian space officials.

“The mission is accomplished, the crew is in good health and is ready for new missions.”

Psychologists said long confinement without daylight and fresh air put the team members under stress as they grow increasingly tired of each other’s company. They said that psychological conditions can even be more challenging on a mock mission than a real flight because the crew won’t experience any of the euphoria or dangers of actual space travel.

Despite that, the crew showed no sign of stress as they walked to microphones to speak before cameras. “We hope that we can help in designing the future missions to

Mars,” Frenchman Romain Charles said with a smile.

The Editor speaks Sneaky legislation could mean more of our liberties being removed Colin Wilson

When one has to write an editorial five days a week it can be very hard to find a subject that’s “hot”. Then there’s days when there is so much you don’t know which one to choose. Today is like that. However, the one I have chosen today really makes “my blood boil.”

We have the proposed changes to the criminal and penal codes that generally most people will agree with, as it will give the police more powers to deal with gangs. Sneaked into these proposals is one concerning public disorder issues that include tramps and drunks.

Whoever came up this piece of legislation would not look out of place as a member of The Party in George Orwell’s “1984”. He has obviously been trained in the American House of Representatives how to tack on unrelated legislation to a popular Bill to be debated there. Tramps and drunks can be fined $1,000 and 12 months in prison. This is up from $30 and 30 days in jail. Unlawful assembly, which gives the police powers to disperse public gatherings of any kind if a senior officer suspects anyone in the group to have harassed someone else. The penalty for this is up from 2 years to four.

If you refuse to accompany a policeman exercising the power of search your fine goes up from $100 to a whopping $2,000!

These additional powers were added on to the bill targeting the gang problems and, I strongly suspect, in the hope no one would realise how draconian and un-needed this legislation was.

When has tramps and drunks roaming our streets at night been a problem? How many riots have we had recently or anytime requiring police to disperse public gatherings? Do we want this country to become a police state?

What we want is improved police efficiency that has been lacking even long before the 1996 Community and Safety Report we highlighted this week. We want that addressed and put right NOW. We want to know why evidence disappears? We want to know where the missing guns from the police arsenal are? What we don’t want is more

colin.wilson@ieyenews.com

iThought

bureaucracy and we don’t want our personal freedoms taken away from a police force that is increasingly becoming less transparent with seemingly no accountability.

This newspaper has been on the police side.

We have tried and tried to put, where we can, a positive slant to our stories involving the police.

We have praised them highly when it has been deserved. We have urged and urged the public to help the police and work with them as a team.

How many times have I personally begged family and friends of gang members to come forward and give information to the police? We, as a society, want the police to succeed. The publisher of this newspaper, Joan (Watler) Wilson is the daughter of a deceased Cayman Island Chief of Police.

Sadly, at this time, the public perception of the RCIPS is at an all time low. Is it deserved? Well, we don’t want additional public liberty taken away laws that are absolutely not needed, and tacked on to a Bill nearly everyone will support. It is sneaky.

It makes me see “red” and will do the opposite of improving relations with the police. More powers to “senior officers”. I have to agree with local attorney, Peter Polack, when he described recent police changes “as expensive high tech law enforcement window dressing” that will not produce results.

I urge our legislators to take a close look at these additional powers and have then removed from the Bill. Isn’t it incredible, when we want something passed giving the police more powers to deal with gang membership with increased penalties for it and gang related crimes, they have to mess and muddle that up; with sneaky additional legislation unconnected with the real issues affecting us?

If it is passed, look out for all those pirates having a “good time” during Pirates Week locked up for a year along with our tourists. No, that’s not true. It will be a rapist. That’s all the time he seems to spend in jail and he even gets his own spot to become a star on a Government TV show.

As Ebenezer Scrooge said, “Bah humbug!”

Do not talk too much at the gathering of elders, and do not repeat yourself.

Law firm heads to Big Apple

Walkers Offices in Cayman

Grand Cayman – (November 3, 2011) – Leading International Financial Centre law firm Walkers returns to New York for the latest in its highly commended series of ‘Fundamentals’ seminars where industry experts will debate the key issues for hedge funds and offer their predictions for offshore funds in 2012.

‘Fundamental Change - Hot Topics in Hedge Funds’ takes place on November 8 at The Harvard Club in New York City and will examine both regulatory developments and other factors influencing managers and service providers in the investment funds sector. Topics will include effective corporate governance, trends, risks and opportunities that lie ahead in the market and in-depth views on the current climate from some of the hedge fund industry’s thought leaders.

“The Fundamentals seminars are cutting edge and provide an excellent forum for us to share our first-hand experience of the current issues that are impacting the industry with our clients, as well as offering potential solutions,” said Ingrid Pierce, partner with Walkers and head of the Cayman Islands Investment Funds Group.

Featuring among the guest speakers at this year’s seminar is economic analyst, political historian and award winning author, Zachary Karabell – president of River Twice Research. In a presentation entitled ‘What Lies Ahead’, Mr. Karabell will to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

bring his unique perspective to the discussion of globalisation, the world economy and the shape of things to come.

In a new element to the ‘Fundamentals’ series of seminars, a panel of hedge fund experts will outline the state of the industry, offer tips and best practice guidance on compliance and governance issues, as well as letting delegates in on what is keeping them awake at night. Among the industry thought leaders joining Walkers is Joel Press, Managing Member of Press Management LLC and formerly Managing Director of Prime Brokerage for Morgan Stanley.

Also participating in the panel are Andrew Rabinowitz, Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Marathon Asset Management and Eric Vincent, who most recently served as President of Ospraie Management LLC. Additionally, a number of Walkers’ partners from various offshore jurisdictions will make presentations, covering the legislative and regulatory picture in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands and Ireland. Investment managers of offshore funds will also get the benefit of Walkers’ insights into effective corporate governance, with current trends in fund structures, fees and liquidity, as well as the duties of independent directors all up for discussion.

“All of these issues are extremely

relevant to our clients as they look to further build their businesses in 2012, against the backdrop of some of the most significant proposed legislative changes in history for the investment funds industry,” commented Mark Lewis, Managing Partner - Clients with Walkers. “This year we have already seen a renewed focus on fund formation, marking a shift from the more defensive period following the financial crisis where restructuring work dominated. We are very excited to be returning to New York for the fourth year running to share our experiences on these topics with our clients and friends.”

The Walkers Fundamentals Hedge Fund Seminar series was established in 2008 and with packed houses every year it has become a regular on the New York calendar and a “must attend” event for investment fund professionals and managers with international business interests.

“We are always overwhelmed by the positive feedback from our seminars, particularly the relevance of the agenda and the quality of the networking opportunities,” Ms. Pierce added.

‘Fundamental Change - Hot Topics in Hedge Funds’ takes place on November 8 at The Harvard Club in New York City at 4.00pm, with registration at 3.30pm. Admission is free, however advance registration is required. For further information please contact communications@ walkersglobal.com.

Dana’ Lowe’s work, at the Full of Beans restaurant

Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com

Dana Lowe’s work- on show at the Full of Beans Restaurant – is composed of two distinct styles.

First, There is an abstract style, using large, uniform blocks of one colour against a complimentary background. Reds oranges and yellows like next to greens cyans and blues- making a strong impact.

Sometimes the transluecent swathes of colour intersect, creating a new colour in the space they share.

Ms Lowe’s other style consists mostly of drawings- all most all of them of people, and some look like newspaper cartoons.

“I am trying to capture to sense of a person’s mood and character by drawing their outline,” she said.

The two styles couldn’t be more different on the surface, yet on closer

inspection, they actual compliment each other. The simplified geometry of the human form, captured in the drawing style, is often perfectly reflected in the abstract style.

The more one looks at the two styles side by side, the more this becomes apparent, and one sees that they both come from the same creative space in the artists soul.

Some of the other work at the exhibition- white and cream shoes on a perfectly black background, Ms Lowe calls these, “negative paintings,” by which she means

that instead of starting with a white background, and gradually making the tone darker, she start with a black background and gradually makes the tone light.

“I love colour, but there is this contrast in my work. When it comes to printing or drawing I still want to print only with black ink ideally on white paper or draw with black or dark blue pens or pastels. Both my drawings and my abstract paintings are on a flat picture plane, without any attempt to be three dimensional,” she said.

Lunch everyday: 11:30am - 5:30pm Dinner everyday: 5:30pm -10pm Breakfast Saturday and Sunday: 8:30am - 11:30am Sunday Brunch: 11:30am - 3pm

Normally, air that we breathe passes from the nose and mouth through the airways to the tiny air sacs of the lung, called alveoli. In the air sacs, oxygen that we breathe passes through the walls of air sacs into the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide (CO2) passes in the reverse direction, out of the bloodstream, back into the alveoli, and is then eliminated by breathing out. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of the body’s metabolism, and must be regularly removed.

COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a condition in which the airways in the lungs become broken down and narrowed, often due to smoking cigarettes. In people who develop COPD, irritating gases and particles are inhaled while smoking or breathing smoke filled air (secondhand smoke) or other fumes or particles. These gases and particles can injure the airways and lungs and cause swelling (inflammation). Over time, the inflammation becomes chronic, damages the lung tissue, and may cause scarring . This lung damage makes it more difficult to breathe in and out and makes it harder for oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass across the walls of the air sacs. As the lungs become more damaged over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to breathe through the narrowed airways. When the damage is severe, it may also become difficult to get enough oxygen into the blood and to get rid of excess carbon dioxide. These changes all lead to shortness of breath and other symptoms. Unfortunately, the symptoms of COPD cannot be completely eliminated with treatment and the condition usually worsens over time.

The term COPD is often used interchangeably with the terms chronic bronchitis and emphysema because chronic bronchitis and emphysema are the most common forms of COPD. Also, the current treatments for COPD, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

are similar.

COPD is the 5th biggest killer in the UK and the 5th biggest killer worldwide. Every hour COPD is estimated to kill over 250 people worldwide. COPD is the only major cause of death whose incidence is on the increase and is expected to be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020 (exceeded only by heart disease and stroke).

TYPES OF COPD: Chronic bronchitis: Chronic bronchitis is the term used to describe people who have a chronic cough that produces sputum (phlegm). Chronic bronchitis can scar the airways and reduce airflow.

Emphysema: Emphysema is the

term used to describe damage to the air sacs in the lung. This damage can also restrict airflow.

Asthma: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The chronic inflammation leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning.

Treatment is usually successful in reversing inflammation and airway narrowing. In a minority of people with asthma, the chronic inflammation permanently restricts airflow. When this airway narrowing cannot be completely reversed with treatment, the person is said to have COPD. Continues on issue #134

Life after divorce

CAYMAN INSURANCE CENTRE LTD.

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

I have been through a divorce. It’s hard to adjust to being single again.

Eventually, you begin to think about dating, but I suggest you take your time. Use this precious opportunity to rediscover yourself. Think of this time in your life as an adventure to explore the real you. Take a deep breath and start to rediscover your true passions.

It is a hard concept for many women to believe about themselves and think how magnificent you really are! Everyone has unique gifts so stop thinking of what you don’t like about yourself or your life. List all of your great qualities and read that list until you believe it. Examples: beautiful smile, kindness, generosity, loving, caring, etc. Allow yourself to see the shining gold within.

During and after the divorce I had the feeling of grieving, similar to that of the loss of someone. I felt the need to stay busy to keep my mind off of this stressful time.

However, I allowed myself time to pamper myself.

Yes, you do deserve to do something special for yourself. It can be as simple as taking a bath or a walk, shopping or reading a book with your favourite beverage.

Remember, the happier you are, the happier your family will be!

Holding onto regrets and bitterness will only keep your life from moving forward. My inner voice worked overtime with all the ‘what ifs’ and if onlys’. But it didn’t help me feel better. To move your life forward, it is important to acknowledge your feelings and to learn from your past experiences to prepare yourself for the next exciting chapter of your life.

Yes, there is life after divorce.

Life after divorce usually means added responsibilities. If you are a single parent or are now the one responsible for the once shared to-do list, how do you handle it all without being totally stressed out? To start, to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

learn to laugh more, especially at yourself. Learn to let things go and not take life so seriously, as Catherine Tyson says, Lighten-up! Learn to live in the present moment. When one is missing this moment in time, one is missing out on one’s life.

If you are with your children observe them. Cherish their smiles.

Give them a hug. See the true beauty of who they are and appreciate them for being a part of your life.

To be present, no matter where you are, use all your senses to pull you back into the moment. Take time to appreciate all the beauty that already exists around you. You only have to be present to see it!

What really matters to you?

Knowing your purpose, will give you a true sense of who you are and why you were put on this earth. It gives your life direction and helps you make clear and easy decisions concerning that direction. It’s your compass! Without a purpose your life is a piece of driftwood, floating endlessly in whichever direction the tide decides to take it and ending up on any beach with no will of it’s own?

When going through a divorce, your emotions can be compared to a roller coaster ride. Use this time to become reconnected to your inner awareness of who you are.

Learn to sit still and quiet until you understand what emotions you are feeling. Realise that your feelings and sensations are okay, then learn to listen to what your mind and body are telling you.

First, acknowledge and accept the feelings you are having. Be gentle with yourself! Be thankful for what is working in your life right now. Do

something simple like pat your pet, smell a flower or, if you are in the office, take a minute to think of a previous fun time or experience you have had that could bring a smile to your face.

Think of another time of joy or something you were passionate about in your life. Enjoy the feeling of accomplishing something with ease and less effort!

During and even after my divorce, I was often filled with doubts. I questioned myself as to what is right, what to do and how I felt. Should I or shouldn’t I? It seemed difficult to make a decision. Finally I listened to my heart. If a situation doesn’t feel right, pause or wait. By waiting you may have allowed the situation to unfold more easily without having to worry! If a decision feels good or right, usually that means you are heading in the right direction.

Next time you are in a situation where someone has asked you to help them and you are ready to say yes, yet, find yourself having doubts, take a breath or even take a step back. Pause! Thank the person for thinking of you, but let them know you will have to check your calendar and get back to them. When you do have time to think about what they want you to do, focus on how you are feeling. Do you feel some resistance to saying yes? If in a day or two you are still feeling doubtful, realise the timing might not be right for you. If it still feels right say yes.

Divorce is not easy or fun but you can make it through this time of your life by realising you WILL make it! I did and I am very happy now. So can you.

Ex-Giant Matty Alou, 72, dies in Dominican Rep.

(AP) — Matty Alou, once part of an all-Alou outfield for the San Francisco Giants with brothers Felipe and Jesus, died Thursday in his native Dominican Republic.

He was 72.

He died of diabetes complications, according to his former Dominican team, Leones del Escogido. The Giants also confirmed his death and said Alou had been sick for several years with a variety of health issues.

Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda said he knew his “great friend” had been ailing.

“We roomed together a few times with the Giants,” Cepeda said by phone. “Very funny guy, hell of a ballplayer.

When Matty was playing with the Giants, he was a dead fastball hitter, he could pull anybody, I don’t care how hard they threw.”

A two-time All-Star, Alou became the 1966 National League batting champion with the Pirates when he hit .342. He spent his first six years with San Francisco from 1960-65 and also played for St. Louis, Oakland, the New York Yankees and San Diego.

“Although he played for six different teams, Matty remained a part of the Giants family as a longtime employee and will be forever linked with his brothers, Felipe and Jesus, as the first all-brother major league outfield, the Giants said.

The Alou brothers made history in 1963 when they appeared in the same outfield for several games.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators have signed goaltender Pekka Rinne to a seven-year, $49 million contract, and now they are turning their attention to his defense.

The Predators are trying to keep defensemen Ryan Suter and Shea Weber, who along with Rinne would form the core of the team.

“It just turned out that Pekka was the first one we were in position to negotiate with and bring to conclusion,” team chairman Tom Ciggaran said Thursday in a conference call.

“We have every intent of signing both Shea and Ryan, and we’re going to do everything we can to make that happen. ...

These guys are sort of homegrown, Ciggaran said. “They’re just people that we want to have around to be the core of a Stanley Cup winning team for years to come.”

Rinne had been set to become a restricted free agent July 1 along with Suter. Weber, also the team captain, will be a restricted free agent after being awarded $7.5 million through arbitration for this season.

Fans have criticised the Predators’ ownership group for not spending big money on players, and this deal for Rinne easily is the biggest yet for a franchise that started as an expansion team for the 199899 season.

“The money is there to sign these guys, and we have every intent of doing it,” Ciggaran said.

Sir Alex Ferguson

Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com

Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates 25 years at the helm of Manchester United by declaring there is plenty more to come as long as he stays healthy.

The fiery Scot has been the most successful manager the game has ever seen and today welcomes Sunderland to Old Trafford.

Speaking at a gala dinner in his honour, Sir Alex said: “I will continue as long as I feel healthy enough to do it, “It has been a fantastic spell for me. It is something you don’t think is going to happen, “It is a bit of a fairytale to last so long. I appreciate that. I have been very fortunate to have some of the

best players in the game.

“When I look back at these players, I say to myself how fortunate I am.

It is incredible the list of players, going back to the very start with Bryan Robson, Norman Whiteside, Brian McClair, Hughes, Ince, Keane, Cantona.

“What a collection of players. They were fantastic players.

“It is hard to think I controlled all these players for so long. Now to the present era of players we see today, different personalities and different cultures.”

Leading the plaudits for the United boss was his arch-rival, Kenny Dalglish, manager of Liverpool.

Dalglish said: ““He has been fantastic for Manchester United and I think he has even surpassed the

legend that was Sir Matt Busby with the achievements and success he has had.

“To be anywhere for 25 years is unbelievable and every success he has had is testament to him and the football club.

“When you remember where the football club was when he came in I think it is a fantastic achievement where he has taken to them now.”

United play Sunderland while Liverpool host Swansea. Elsewhere Newcastle play Everton, Arsenal face West Brom Villa play Norwich while struggling Blackburn play Chelsea.

QPR take on Manchester City and on Sunday Stoke travel to Bolton, Fulham welcome Tottenham and Wolves face Wigan.
