Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Financial Secretary Kenneth Jefferson said yesterday that the 31 October consolidation of government financial statements would offer the first full, audited overview of official performance in years. The overview is made possible by the submission for the first time in at least eight years of all the annual financial reports from every government entity – ministries, portfolios, offices authorities and government companies – by the Auditor General’s 31 August deadline. The achievement marks the first time in nearly a decade that the 39-agency “entire public sector” -13 ministries, portfolios and offices, and 26 statutory authorities and government-owned companies -- has complied with that due date. The statements, detailing expenditures and outputs, account for the disbursement of public funds, enabling the Auditor General – and the Cayman Islands at large -- to monitor government’s financial position.

Golf pros top tips during fundraiser Paul Kennedy
paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com
Visitors to North Side Golf Club were given an extra boost – golfing lessons from professions Mark McNulty and Nick Price. The pair came to the Islands to take part in the Cayman Red Cross Golf Tournament which has been hailed a huge success. And before anyone teed off for the main competition, budding young golfers were given top tips from the pros in a specially arranged “kids clinic”. While it may have been a little unfair for the professionals to take part in the actual competition, their points were not added to the total scores of the teams. The duo played with two teams on the Saturday morning and two in the afternoon. In total more than 200 golfers took part in the event which was the 14th Annual Royal Bank of Canada sponsored Cayman Islands Red Cross Golf Tournament. CIRC director Jondo Obi said: “It was fantastic the way everyone came together. The volunteers, sponsors and supporters helped to make it such a success. “There was a real feel of community spirit about the whole

The turn out was fantastic with 80 golfers playing on the Friday, 76 on Saturday morning and another 80 on Saturday afternoon.” The overall winners of the competition were a group of friends who formed the team, Team Extreme. Golfer Nick Price, who has had 50 professional wins in his career, said: “I really must take my hat off to Jondo who has done an incredible job to pull off a very comfortable, easy and fun day.” Mark McNulty, who has 59 professional wins under his belt, added: “It was great to be here and take part in this fine fundraiser. “From the perspective of big city traveling, it’s nice to get involved with the Island and its fundraising. I’ve had fun and met some very nice people.”

Farm dog suckles piglets in Cuba CAMAGUEY, Cuba (AP) — Yeti the dog already had a litter of pups to care for when the piglets adopted her as a second mom. Ever since then, the Cuban farm dog has been pulling double-duty, nursing not just her own young but also the 14 swine.

Farmer Mannorkys Santamaria said the piglets also take milk from their mothers, but when they see Yeti, they run to her for a meal. On a recent day the young porkers followed her around the farm as if she were their real mother. “No one imposed this on the dog,” Santamaria said. “The piglets discovered this on their own and began nursing with her when they turned 15 days old.” Santamaria, 35, and his wife Eida Fernandes, 40, raise pigs, chickens, doves and turkeys on their small farm in the eastern province of Camaguey. There are also several mixed-breed dogs who have showed up on the property over the years and stayed. So far, Yeti is the only one to become an adopted mother to pigs. Fernandes said she doesn’t seem to mind. All but one of Yeti’s biological offspring have been given away, and the one pup remaining nurses alongside the swine. “When the piglets ventured outside their pen, it seems they smelled the dog’s milk and began screaming at her,” Fernandes said. “In the beginning we didn’t think the dog would let them suckle, but they insisted so much they ended up nursing with her.”

Government spending announced for first time Continued from front page
Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
“We got statements from everybody, and it’s good news, the first time it’s happened,” said Auditor General Alastair Swarbrick, although mindful that he had not reviewed the reports. “I can’t speak to the quality of information yet. We will do the audit work now, and whether the reports are good or bad, we will analyse and come to a view a little later,” he said. Last week, Mr Swarbrick, anticipated he would make an announcement around 15 September. Financial Secretary Kenneth Jefferson told iNews yesterday that the 31 August deadline formed a critical first step in gaining a picture of government performance. “I regard this as a very important step, but what the public is interested in is step two,” he said. “Those 39 individual financial statements have to go through a consolidation process, they get put together and you get a set of statements that cover the government’s performance. “The first set,“ he said, “cover the central government, so you know what central government’s performance is like. “In addition, you put the other 26 along with the central government so you know what is the performance of the entire public sector,” Mr Jefferson said. “Being individual building blocks, you consolidate them,” by 31 October,

Auditor General Alastair Swarbrick he said, gaining the first audited overview of government finances in many years. Cayman’s annual budgets, he explained, contained consolidated statements from the previous year, and projections for the coming year, offering a sense of government’s financial position, but rarely had the position been officially audited. He credited Premier McKeeva Bush, and said two subcommittees had ensured completion of the process. “A coordination team divided the public service into more manageable
chunks, certain members took certain ministries and others, and they met very frequently with the chief financial officers. “Sitting over that was an oversight body of me, Deputy Governor Donovan Ebanks and Deputy Financial Secretary Sonia McLaughlin,” he said. “We met weekly with the coordination team to detail the progress made by the CFOs. This evolved over several months.” Last week, Mr Bush called the 31 August compliance “a great accomplishment”, crediting “government’s drive and determination to achieve the expectations of the law and those of the public”. Speaking to iNews yesterday, he thanked the civil service. “I’m very pleased to see this requirement met. We as a Cabinet gave a commitment to have this done after finding the mess with the accountants, that there were no accounts for four years,” he said. “There was a serious effort by civil servants to accomplish this and we are very thankful to civil servants for getting this done,” he said. “My government congratulates all public servants on this accomplishment.”

Prosecutors say the defendants helped cause a chaos of car crashes and panic as parents in the Gulf Coast city of Veracruz rushed to save their children because of false reports that gunmen were attacking schools. Gerardo Buganza, interior secretary for Veracruz state, compared the panic to that caused by Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds.” But he said the fear roused by that account of a Martian invasion of New Jersey “was small compared to what happened here.” “Here, there were 26 car accidents, or people left their cars in the middle of the streets to run and pick up their children, because they thought these things were occurring at their kids’ schools,” Buganza told local reporters. The charges say the messages caused such panic that emergency numbers “totally collapsed because people were terrified,” damaging service for real emergencies. Veracruz, the state’s largest city, and the neighboring suburb of Boca del Rio were already on edge after weeks of gunbattles involving drug traffickers. One attack occurred on a major boulevard. In another, gunmen tossed a grenade outside the city aquarium, killing an tourist and seriously wounding his wife and their two young children.

Police say gun amnesty was a success
Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden with some of the weapons handed in
Diana Willington diana.willington@ieyenews.com
Police yesterday hailed their latest gun amnesty a success – but admitted they would have been happier if more weapons had been handed in. Following a recent rise in the amount of gun crime seen in the Cayman Islands, it is clear there are still illegal firearms in circulation. But since the beginning of July police have offered a “no questions asked” service allowing guns and ammunition to be handed in a special drop off zones across Cayman. The first four weeks of the amnesty proved extremely disappointing with very few weapons handed in. After that, the police teamed up with High Impact Digital Billboards to offer cash incentives in exchange for weapons. For each gun handed in, $200 would be paid plus $25 per 10 bullets. In total more than a thousand dollars was given out, but some people handing in weapons refused to take any cash, police said. After a similar amnesty last year, the weapons handed in were broken down and encased in concrete to make boat moorings for the RCIPS Marine Unit. Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said: “Generally the gun amnesty has been a success. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
“Obviously we would like to see more but we got what we got. It has been very helpful but it’s only one part of our firearm reduction strategy. “Not as many guns have been handed in as last year but if it weren’t for the amnesty then these guns and ammunition would still be on the streets. “They can’t use the guns without the bullets and vice versa. One can’t do without the other.” “The amnesty is not about identifying people but getting guns off the streets. If someone comes in with a gun or ammo and wishes to receive the cash incentive they are given the money straight away without question.” “We are reviewing circumstances in which unlicensed and unwanted
firearms are collected to improve our strategy for future amnesties.” “There have been no links made with any outstanding crimes and these weapons will be checked as well.” Despite some of the weapons only being air rifles, Mr Bodden said it can be difficult to tell them apart from real guns. He said: “There is very little to tell you that this is not a real gun. The intimidation factor is exactly the same. You can’t look at this and straight away say ‘it’s a toy’. “In total CI$1242.50 was handed in cash to citizens during the amnesty. There were some good spirited people who refused to take anything in return for handing in the weapons and we sincerely appreciate the efforts of these people.”

Tropical disturbance in the eastern Atlantic designated Invest 95L needs to be monitored Jessica Willis jessica.willis@ieyenews.com
Rob Lightbown wrote that he is keeping close tabs on a tropical wave, now designated Invest 95L by the National Hurricane Center, that is located in the eastern Atlantic about 500 miles to the southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Some development of this disturbance is possible this week, however, the global model guidance indicates that development will wait until it is in the Caribbean in 6 to 8 days or so. It looks like that this disturbance will have plenty of moist air to work with and environmental conditions are favorable for development. “This is a system that definitely will need to be watched closely as a ridge of high pressure will strengthen as Katia pulls to the north and northeast later this week. This would mean that 95L would likely remain on a general westward track right into the Caribbean by the weekend. All of our Crown Weather friends in the Lesser Antilles should

Knox trial resumes in Italy, enters final stretch “every single (piece) of evidence” so that justice can be done. “My sister, a daughter brutally and selfishly taken from us nearing 4 years ago — and yet a not a single day goes by that we can grasp any peace or closure,” Stephanie Kercher wrote. The appeals trial picked up where it left off before the summer recess in late July: with questioning of independent experts who have reviewed the collection and analysis of DNA evidence used to convict Knox and Sollecito. The two were convicted in Dec. 2009 of sexually assaulting and killing Kercher in the apartment Knox and
the 21-year-old Briton shared while studying in Perugia. Both deny wrongdoing, and have appealed.

PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — The appeals case of Amanda Knox, the American student convicted of killing her British roommate, resumed yesterday with lawyers questioning independent experts who cast doubt on the evidence used in the first trial. The 24-year-old from Seattle who has been behind bars since the November 2007 murder was in the Perugia courtroom, as was her codefendant and onetime boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

Obama pledges federal help for Irene recovery PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — President Barack Obama stood on a bridge overlooking the rain-swollen and fastrushing Passaic River in Paterson, New Jersey’s third-largest city, and said the federal government would work to rebuild towns recovering from Hurricane Irene’s wrath. The Passaic, which had washed over the bridge, swept through the once-booming factory town of 150,000, flooding the downtown area and forcing hundreds to evacuate. More than 100 people had to be rescued from the rising waters after
the storm. “You know, it could have been worse. But we should not underestimate the heartache that’s going through a lot of these communities, affecting a lot of families,” Obama said. In nearby Wayne, the president made his way down Fayette Avenue, walking past flooded homes, the garage doors open. Piles of waterdamaged debris littered the curb. “Everybody’s going to be working hard to help you recover,” Obama told one woman as he put his hand on her shoulder.
The Passaic crested at twice its flood stage at a record 14 feet, depositing debris and muddy water stains on buildings and homes across Paterson. “The entire country is behind you,” Obama said after viewing the destruction.
Chile: All 21 aboard crashed military plane died SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — All 21 people aboard a military plane that crashed in the Pacific Ocean near Chile’s remote Juan Fernandez islands are dead, the government said. The Chilean CASA 212 plane crashed Friday afternoon after two failed attempts to land in difficult weather on the islands. “After a search involving the commander in chief of the FACh (Chilean air force) the conclusion has been reached that the impact was so powerful it would have led to the instant death of those on board the plane,” said Defense Minister Andres Allamand. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
Earlier Saturday, Chilean officials said the bodies of two women and two men were recovered by searchers or fishermen. Searchers said they had also found pieces of the plane’s wreckage. Among those aboard was popular Chilean television personality Felipe Camiroaga and four other members of a crew from a morning show on Chilean state television. They were planning to film a report about reconstruction on the islands after last year’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. Camiroaga, 44, had co-hosted the Vina del Mar music festival in 2009 and 2010. The Juan Fernandez archipelago,
located 416 miles (670 kilometers) from the mainland, is known for possibly having inspired the novel Robinson Crusoe.

It was only a matter of time until the scum of our colin.wilson@ieyenews.com society would brazenly go into one of the popular restaurants here frequented by residents and, more alarmingly, tourists. Now they have gotten away with it, we can expect a visit from these low lives to other similar eating establishments. The rewards are much higher and the minutes of labour expended to execute the deed not much more. Our police (the RCIPS) had been warned many times this would happen - the only question was when. They had been asked many times to have a seen presence between the hours of 9 and 11pm at all the popular restaurants the tourists frequent and one can only register disappointment with anger that this has not happened. It is not the first eatery that

It is only a matter of time before a tourist is shot having a meal and then all hell is going to break loose and our tourism industry is going to be in tatters. The cost to our Islands could be in the millions. Already the foreign press are taking notice of the rising level of crime and all the statistics the RCIPS can produce to the contrary will be laughed at. We must stop burying our heads in the sand and the time for niceties, appeals, and words are over. People are frightened and actions speak louder than words.

Fishing boat rescued, again Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com
A massive police search and rescue operation was launched after a fishing vessel went missing. Teams from the RCIPS Marine and Air Operations Units, along with colleagues from the US Coast Guard desperately scoured the waters for missing fishing boat, the Renegade. It’s the second time the boat has sparked such an operation in just over a year. In August 2010 it also vanished during a doomed fishing trip. Then, it spent 10 days adrift after problems with the battery and was eventually located 50 miles northwest of Little Cayman. Around 7am on Saturday morning, the wife of a crewman contacted police to say she had received a distress call from the boat’s onboard GPS device. The 30-foot canoe-type boat had

been converted to include a diesel engine and was carrying two men onboard when the engine failed. After receiving GPS notification, the wife of the crewman raised the alarm and contacted police who launched the search and rescue operation. Around three hours after the call was made, the police helicopter located the Renegade around 56 nautical miles north of Cayman Brac. A police spokeswoman said: “The helicopter crew made contact with the two men on board the vessel via radio. They are both well, but say they had been drifting since losing engine power.” Extreme, bad weather conditions hampered the rescue operation and it took the Department of Environment’s vessel Enforcer 2, ten hours to bring the Renegade in to Cayman Brac Acting Inspector Clive Smith of the RCIPS Joint Marine Unit,
who co-ordinated the Search and Rescue operation, said; “This was a great team effort which resulted in the Renegade and her crew being found quickly and brought back to dock safe and well. “Many people will recall that in August last year the Renegade was reported overdue and located several days later after a massive search operation. “This time the vessel was fitted with a GPS emergency transmitter which was able to be monitored by emergency regional co-ordination centres - that’s why the police helicopter crew located her so quickly. “The DoE crew of Erbin Tibbitts, his son E J Tibbitts and Sheldon Scott have done a wonderful job, in very difficult conditions, to get the boat and crew back safe and sound.

McKeeva Bush supports female Pastor Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com
Premier of the Cayman Islands, The Honorable Mr. McKeeva Bush, and Deputy Premier, Mrs. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, added their blessings to the appointment of a woman pastor at the Red Bay Church of God (Holiness). Pastor Anna Joseph’s appointment comes after the decision of the former Pastor, Robert Thompson, Brother Bob, and his wife, Mrs. Cinda Thompson, Sister T’, to return to their native land, the USA in July. She is the first female Pastor to take the reigns at the Church of God. Mr. Bush said: “I believe that these Islands need a voice like yours. “Don’t be frightened, speak what God puts on your heart regardless of the members it might turn off, there are those that it will turn on. “In these imperfect days, the church needs to stick together. “What would any country be like had it not been for the strong influence of Sunday school teachers that stood by us and counselled us and prayed for us? “I feel passionate whenever I hear the church being criticised. “I feel passionate enough to curse them back. “The church is our legal guidance, it says so in the manifesto of the United Democratic Party.” Both Mr. and Mrs. Thompson led the Church of God for 25 years and have developed a strong following and rapport among the residents of these Islands.

She said: “This is larger than my usual congregation, but it is all blessings. “These are people I have been working with since 1983 and they do have a mind to work. “Brother Bob has left some big shoes to fill, but both of us had a very good working relationship, and we all have one God.” Commenting on the appointment, Deputy Premier, Mrs. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly said: “Today’s event is extremely significant to us, because it signifies a new fresh wind of revival which is permeating and filtering to the various social strata of our society. “This appointment gives us an audacity for hope and present the possibility for our country to be reminded that our God still

In an interview with iNews the assistant pastor also said: “I have known Mrs. Anna Gracia Smith Joseph for many years. She has about 49 years of pastoral experience. “We have interacted and travelled together on religious assignments. Being around her, I will learn a lot.” The assistant pastor also explained that the new pastor was formally assigned since July, and that the service was a formality, which accompanies her assignment.

Earthquake prediction still stymies scientists LOS ANGELES (AP) — The East Coast earthquake left more than just residents unaccustomed to feeling the ground shake and sway in a daze. It also surprised some scientists who spend their careers trying to untangle the mysteries of sudden ground shifts. Despite decades of research, earthquake prediction remains elusive. As much as society would like scientists to tell us when a jolt is coming, mainstream seismologists are generally pessimistic about ever having that ability. They lived through the checkered history of earthquake prediction, filled with passioned debates, failed oracles and the enduring search for warning signs that may portend a powerful quake. The Earth so far has refused to give up its secrets. In recent years, however, a more hopeful camp has emerged, pushed by researchers using satellites who say it may be possible to someday predict earthquakes from space and others who think they can tease out signals in rocks. The two schools of thought swapped notes during a two-day meeting in Los Angeles weeks before a relatively mild magnitude-5.8 rattled the Eastern Seaboard. “I was pretty skeptical going in and

I remain skeptical,” said Washington state seismologist John Vidale, who was among 44 scientists from around the world who attended the invitationonly meeting. Geophysicist Malcolm Johnston with the U.S. Geological Survey agreed. “I’ve been chasing this for a long time,” he said. “If you think you can detect the start of an earthquake, it’s going to be very, very difficult.” How earthquakes occur is well known. The Earth’s crust is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, broken into several pieces known as tectonic plates that constantly bump and grind or slide past each other. The movement happens slowly, about the speed at which our fingernails grow. Eventually, there’s enough pent-up stress and the rocks suddenly slip, releasing tremendous energy that we feel as shaking. Most earthquakes are small and imperceptible. Occasionally, a powerful one wreaks havoc like the ones that ravaged Haiti last year and coastal Japan in March. No one knows how a small rumble can
cascade into a big one. Spurred in part by a pair of megaquakes in the 1960s, scientists began looking in earnest for signals that will help them distinguish a serious quake from the garden variety. Hopes were high for reading the seismic tea leaves. They scoured for anything and everything that might be a clue: warping in the Earth’s crust, radon gas releases along a fault, weird weather and even the behavior of cockroaches, snakes and other animals. None of the phenomena studied panned out, but the notion that animals might have a “sixth sense” persists to today. Keepers at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. reported that lemurs, a gorilla and an orangutan were restless and making noises minutes before the East Coast quake on Aug. 23.. Scientists say animals can sometimes feel the first arriving seismic waves before people do, but this happens after a fault has ruptured. In other words, the earthquake has already begun. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson
Anne Part 39
“I don’t think I should have made him at all if I couldn’t have made him better.”
“I shall not go one step, even now, unless you promise to write regularly, Annet,” said Rast, the evening before his departure, as they stood together on the old piazza of the Agency watching for the lights of the steamer, which was to carry him away. “Of course I shall write, Rast; once a week always.” “No; I wish no set times fixed. You are simply to promise that you will immediately answer every letter I write.” “I will answer; but as to the time—I may not always be able—” “You may if you choose; and I will not go unless you promise,” said Rast, with irritation. “Do you want to spoil everything, my education and all my future? I would not be so selfish, Annet, if I were you. What is it I ask? A trifle. I have no father, no mother, no sister; only you. I am going away for the first time in my life, and you grudge me a letter!” “Not a letter, Rast, but a promise; lest I might not be able to fulfill it. I only meant that something might happen in the house, which would keep me from answering within the hour, and then my promise would be broken. I will always answer as soon as I can.” “You will not fail me, then?” The girl held out her hand and clasped his with a warm, honest pressure; he turned and looked at her in the starlight. “God bless you for your dear sincere eyes!” he said. “The devil himself would believe you.” “I hope he would,” said Anne, smiling. What with Miss Lois’s Calvinism, and the terrific picture of his Satanic Majesty at the death-bed of the wicked in the old Catholic church, the two, as children, had often talked about the devil and his characteristics, Rast being sure that some day he should see him. Miss Lois, overhearing this, agreed with the lad dryly, much to Anne’s dismay. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
“What is the use of the devil?” she had once demanded. “To punish the wicked,” answered Miss Lois. “Does he enjoy it?” “I suppose he does.” “Then he must be very wicked himself?” “He is.” “Who created him?” “You know as well as I do, Anne. God created him, of course.” “Well,” said the child, after a silence, going as usual to the root of the matter, “I don’t think I should have made him at all if I couldn’t have made him better.” The next morning the sun rose as usual, but Rast was gone. Anne felt a loneliness she had never felt before in all her life. For Rast had been her companion; hardly a day had passed without his step on the piazza, his voice in the hall, a walk with him or a sail; and always, whether at home or abroad, the constant accompaniment of his suggestions, his fault-findings, his teachings, his teasings, his grumblings, his laughter and merry nonsense, the whole made
bearable—nay, even pleasant—by the affection that lay underneath. Anne Douglas’s nature was faithful to an extraordinary degree, faithful to its promises, its duties, its love; but it was an intuitive faithfulness, which never thought about itself at all. Those persons who are in the habit of explaining voluminously to themselves and everybody else the lines of argument, the struggles, and triumphant conclusions reached by their various virtues, would have considered this girl’s mind but a poor dull thing, for Anne never analyzed herself at all. She had never lived for herself or in herself, and it was that which gave the tinge of coldness that was noticed in her. For warmheartedness generally begins at home, and those who are warm to others are warmer to themselves; it is but the overflow. Meantime young Pronando, sailing southward, felt his spirits rise with every shining mile. Loneliness is crowded out of the mind of the one who goes by the myriad images of travel; it is the one who stays who suffers. But there was much to be done at the Agency. The boys grew out of their clothes, the old furniture fell to pieces, and the father seemed more lost to the present with every day and hour. He gave less and less attention to the wants of the household, and at last Anne and Miss Lois together managed everything without troubling him even by a question. For strange patience have loving women ever had with dreamers like William Douglas—men who, viewed by the eyes of the world, are useless and incompetent; tears are shed over their graves oftentimes long after the successful are forgotten. For personally there is a sweetness and gentleness in their natures, which make them very dear to the women who love them. The successful man, perhaps, would not care for such love, which is half devotion, half protection; the successful man wishes to domineer.

Are there angels around us? “The room you are in is filled with angels!” Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Are there really angels around us? Yes. The room you are in is filled with angels! The next room you go to will be filled with angels and angels will be at your side with every step you take today. The angels are with us and are eager to help us. How do I know that? Because Christopher Dilts, author, workshop leader and Ordained Minister says so and his specialty is angels. For the past 10 years he has been helping people in private sessions and in workshops to connect more deeply with their angels for help and assistance. This is what he says: “Angels are truly universal. The Pew Foundation reported that 72% of Americans believe in angels. This is a much higher percentage than Americans who believe in any world religion, because angels are fundamental to most of the world’s major religions. We find them in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Mormonism and many other spiritual traditions. “St. Augustine, an authority on angels, said, “Make friends with angels.” He recommended that we make personal relationships with angels and that we let our relationships with them deepen - much as we would with any important,intimate relationship. “Asking an angel for help is one of our most powerful spiritual practices. We can ask the angels for immediate help at any time and in any place. Here are some techniques that will help you: “1) Ask for help - angels offer us help 24/7. The more receptive we are, the more help they can give us. If you diminish your receptivity you limit the angels ability to help you. Create your own invocations, or prayers, that specifically call for the help you need. Realise that when you call upon an angel, what really happens is that you open yourself into greater receptivity to their assistance. (See the Angel Messages at www.AskAnAngel.org for examples of invocations.) to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
TREATS CAFE Light House Point,Next to Divetech 947-5377
All day Breakfast & Lunch “When asking for help, it’s important to realise yourself as fully worthy of angelic assistance. Angels work with everyone regardless of personal histories and beliefs. Angels are infinite and omnipresent - your request does not diminish them in anyway nor does it affect their ability to help the rest of us at the same time. They exist beyond our experience of time and space and respond to everyone with complete unconditional love. “2) Connect with your inner divine child as you call upon the angels and ask for help. Your inner divine child is whole, innocent and true and recognizes angels as trustworthy gifts of Creator. This will help create openness, receptivity, excitement, eagerness and wonder as you prepare to receive the gift your angels have prepared for you. “3) Hand everything over to the angels when you ask for their help: every issue, problem, worry and fear as well as every good intention and positive outcome you imagine as the result of your request. Release all expectations of how your request will be answered. “4) Express appreciation and gratitude - Find and express genuine appreciation and gratitude for things exactly as they are. If you are struggling with this, ask the angels to help you to find the love that is present in whatever difficulty you are facing. Have patience with this and let go of
any expectation of how this love may be revealed to you. “5) Know that it is done - Every request is answered and help is always given. If you fear that your request will not be answered, then also ask for help in understanding. Trust that you will see the love in every answered prayer. You are known completely and loved unconditionally by the angels and nothing that will serve you is ever withheld from you. “6) Act quickly on the guidance you receive. Accept the opportunity and act upon it immediately. Angelic help is infinite and unlimited - you can not use it up or run out of it. You cannot ask for “too much” and the angels are joyously happy to give to you without limit. The faster you act, the faster you receive more assistance! “7) Celebrate yourself exactly as you are in the moment. Leave any critical judgments or negative feelings about yourself, your life, or others in the hands of the angels for healing. Even if it is just for a few moments, let go of everything that is not of love for yourself and everything around you. In this moment of surrender much more can done for you by the angels than you can accomplish on your own. Thank yourself and the angels for deepening the relationship between you.” If you have had an experience with an angel, I would welcome hearing from you.

Dusty legacy of 9/11 still a medical mystery
A firefighter emerges from the smoke and debris of the World Trade Center in New York.
NEW YORK (AP) — Like a lot of New Yorkers who spent time near the smoking ruins of the World Trade Center, Lorraine Ashman needs to take a deep breath before listing all the health problems that have afflicted her over the past decade. First she got bronchiolitis and a constant cough that lasted for months. Then there were sinus infections, nine so far. She had pneumonia. She’s developed immune system problems, vitamin deficiencies and a sensitivity to gluten. She had acid reflux so bad it damaged the lining of her esophagus. “I’ve just been sick nonstop,” she said. “Being on antibiotics 12 months out of the year is an insane way to live ... I take 17 pills in the morning and six at night.” Ashman, 57, blames it all on the sooty air she inhaled in the two months she worked as a volunteer near ground zero. Science, however, is less sure. A decade’s worth of study has answered only a handful of questions about the hundreds of health conditions that people like Ashman suspect are related to the tons of gray dust that fell on the city when the trade center collapsed. While people have blamed everything from strange rashes to skin cancer on the dust, the list of illnesses even tentatively linked to the disaster is short. Researchers have documented increased asthma rates among

people exposed to the dust. Unusually high numbers of people have been diagnosed with chronic sinus problems, or inflammation of their nasal passages that makes their nose run constantly and causes a drippy cough. Many have also developed chronic heartburn caused by a stomach acid condition known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Doctors at clinics that treat ground zero workers and volunteers believe that exposure to the dust, which was made up of tons of pulverized concrete, glass and other building materials, may have irritated some people’s upper respiratory systems so much that many still haven’t recovered. “We think it has set up a cycle of chronic irritation,” said Dr. Michael Crane, director of the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program at Mt. Sinai Medical Center. “It’s a very disturbing condition. It keeps people up at night.” Luckily, he said, those symptoms are also highly controllable. Patients can use antihistamine and steroid sprays and a saline rinse to ease their discomfort. Asthma isn’t curable, but can be controlled through medication and quick-relief inhalers. A smaller group of people have had surgery to relieve sinus problems. For many of the thousands getting treatment, however, fear runs deep. They aren’t worried about a nagging cough, or a frequent runny nose.
They are worried about cancer. And here, experts said, evidence of a tie has been lacking. Hundreds of people exposed to trade center dust have, indeed, gotten cancer, and many have died, but that hasn’t surprised doctors. Cancer is a leading killer of people in the U.S., even among people in their 40s. Many of the cancers now afflicting people who spent time on the debris pile can develop over decades, meaning the disease could have been simmering away unnoticed in their bodies for many years before 9/11. Two new studies published Friday in the medical journal, The Lancet, failed to find a significant increase in cancer, or other deadly illnesses, among people exposed to the dust.

The name Lhuillier shines brighter than ever in the fashion industry. This is not surprising as the craftsmanship of Lhuillier is obvious in the beads, beading and jewellery incorporated in her every design. The craftsmanship of Lhuillier is also seen in the price tags her dresses carry which the average career woman cannot afford. Bridal gowns cost $2,000 - $10,000 while evening dresses are priced only a little lower. For those who want the look of a Lhuillier gown or dress, there are several things you must remember: A-line, full skirt, soft fabrics, and exquisite beads, beading and jewellery. Beads used in a Lhuillier design range from Swarovski crystals and pearls to glass beads and rhinestones. More expensive stones are used in more expensive dresses. With her skill in using beads, Lhuillier combines modernity with sentimentality, producing designs that are elegant, modern, romantic, and wearable. Beads, beading and jewellery in the designs of Lhuillier are used differently. Some designs use the beads as a component of the fabric itself. If you love beads, beading and jewellery, invest in a Lhuillier gown.
APPLY SUNSCREEN PROPERLY.
The end of the school year is here and savvy moms and dads by now have made all the arrangements for summer. Summer camps and leisurely days at the pool or beach are just a few of the summer rituals for many families. However if you're tempted to let your child play outdoors for even a few minutes without proper sun protection, you might want to think twice. Adolescence and childhood are critical periods during which exposure to UV radiation is more likely to contribute to skin cancer in later life. Children with fair skin, blond or red hair and blue or green eyes are at the highest risk of sunburn. But darker-skinned children also need sun protection. With this in mind, it’s important that parents teach their children how to enjoy fun in the sun safely.
LIMIT OUTDOOR PLAYTIME BETWEEN 10A.M. AND 4P.M.
Apply a thick, even coat to all exposed areas 20 - 30 minutes before your child goes out in the sun. Choose a sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 or higher. Make sure it's labeled "broad spectrum," which means it blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. For your little ones, sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide should be selected as these compounds are less irritating than others. Sunscreen sticks are best for the face because they are sweat proof and less likely to drip. Don't forget nose, ears, hands, feet, shoulders, and behind the neck; lips can also burn, so apply a lip balm with SPF protection. Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, or after sweating or swimming.
COVER FROM HEAD TO TOE. Wearing protective clothing and hats is one of the primary ways of warding off UV damage. When wet, light coloured clothing transmits just as much sunlight as bare skin. Keep your kids covered with dark colours, long sleeves, and pants whenever possible. And don't forget the accessories: sunglasses with UV protection to guard against burned corneas, and hats to prevent sunburned scalps and faces. Protective clothing, hats with wide brims, and sunglasses are just as important for babies. At the beach, bring along a large umbrella.
Parents, you are the best teacher by practicing sun safety yourself. If your child sees you following sun safety rules, he'll take them for granted and follow suit. Teach every member of the family how to protect their skin and eyes. With proper supervision, children can learn to protect themselves and enjoy summer fun without sacrificing the health of their skin.
Avoid unnecessary exposure when the sun's rays are at their strongest. Even on cloudy or cooler days, ultraviolet (UV) rays remain strong. Shady spots can be just as tricky because of reflected light. If your child is playing outdoors during these hours, make sure to apply ample sunscreen.
WATCH OUT FOR MEDICATIONS. Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to ask your doctor whether your child may be at risk. Prescription antibiotics and acne medications are the most notorious culprits, but when in doubt, ask.

Bolt sends Jamaica to relay record
DAEGU, South Korea (AP) — Usain Bolt clutched the purple baton in his right hand and tore off down the track in the final leg of the 400 relay. There was no one to push the Jamaican star, because the Americans were already out after another botched exchange. This was simply Bolt vs. the clock at the world championships. The clock didn’t stand a chance. Bolt ran with an all-out fury Sunday as he helped the team finish in a world-record time of 37.04 seconds. His eyes grew big in amazement after glancing at the clock, he screamed and then tossed the baton up into the air. This from a man who claimed he wasn’t in record-breaking shape. But anything’s possible when Bolt takes the track. While his teammates played a big role, Bolt, even with a bothersome Achilles tendon that prevented him from running the curve, brought it on home. “For me,” Bolt said, “it was just to go out there fast.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
What started out as a disastrous championships for Bolt ended on a high note. Sure, this doesn’t make up for his false start that led to his disqualification in the 100 last weekend, but it does ease the sting a tiny bit. “I’m very happy with myself,” Bolt said. “We ran very hard for that record.” Plagued by relay problems in the past, the Americans thought they had those woes figured out. They organised training camps and participated in competitions to get their timing down. It worked out well for the women as Carmelita Jeter held off Veronica Campbell-Brown down the stretch to win the 400 relay. Then came the men’s debacle in the final event of the championships, putting a damper on what was otherwise a fine day on the track — a fine competition, for that matter. The U.S. had a sensational showing in the triple jump with 21-year-old Christian Taylor taking gold and Will Claye, who’s a year younger, winning bronze. Bernard Lagat also captured
silver in the 5,000 as the Americans finished with 25 medals, edging Russia by six. It tied for the team’s second-best showing ever, one away from the top mark. A medal the U.S. could’ve easily picked up had the team been able to get the baton around the track. Maybe not gold with Bolt focused and motivated, but at least silver.

The D-backs finally delivered for Daniel Hudson (15-9) when they got to All-Star Ryan Vogelsong in the eighth. Until then, Cody Ross’ first-inning home run had held up. Hudson won his third straight start, helping Arizona (80-60) leave the Bay Area for Colorado in a comfortable spot with 22 games to go. The defending World Series champion Giants considered this a must-win series to keep their faint playoff hopes alive but lost the final two. Hudson allowed one run on three hits, struck out five and walked one in seven innings. David Hernandez went 1-2-3 in the eighth and J.J. Putz pitched a perfect ninth for his 36th save. San Francisco failed to win a seventh straight home series at sold-out AT&T Park since taking two of three from Milwaukee on July 22-24. Roberts drove a 2-0 pitch from Vogelsong (10-6) into the leftfield bleachers to start the eighthinning rally. After Gerardo Parra followed with an infield single, Vogelsong’s day was done. Jeremy Affeldt was called upon to face pinch-hitter Geoff Blum, while Vogelsong walked off to a standing ovation and tipped his cap.

Frank is still key, says Fabio
BACK TO SCHOOL!
Fabio Capello has insisted Frank Lampard remains a key member of his England squad, despite dropping him for the victory over Bulgaria. The Italian named the midfielder on the substitutes’ bench in Sofia.

Silence hurts. If you
SEE something,
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
But Capello said Lampard, 33, remains a “really important player” and could feature against Wales today. He also stated that the Bulgaria fans responsible for alleged racist chants must be identified, and asked England supporters not to boo the Welsh anthem. England players wore antiracism wristbands in training after the abuse in Bulgaria. Capello said: “The racism is a terrible thing. I am against [it] absolutely. I didn’t hear in Bulgaria what happened because I was focused on the game. But we need to find the racists. And he warned England fans: “I remember in Cardiff I didn’t like the boos or the shouts against the other country, because for me as a manager and as a player it’s a really important moment, because you wear the shirt at your heart at this moment. “We need to fight against racism. It’s a really high moment, a spiritual moment. You need to respect the other country.” Chelsea midfielder Lampard’s omission was the first time he had been left out of an England starting line-up when fit and available for a competitive game since the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Capello said: “Frank Lampard is a really important player, like others that are here.”

iSports WORLD Watson leads Deutsche Bank NORTON, Mass. (AP) — The possibilities are almost too many to count for the Labor Day finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship. It starts with Bubba Watson. Watson rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole — one of the few things that went right for him toward the end of the third round Sunday — for a 1-under 70 that gave him the outright lead on the TPC Boston. Five players were one shot behind, a list that includes Adam
30
Scott and Jason Day. Another five players were two shots behind, that group featuring Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, world No. 1 Luke Donald and defending FedEx Cup champion Jim Furyk. Seven more players, including Rickie Fowler and Nick Watney, were another shot back. “It’s setting up for a great tournament, great finish, which is good,” Day said after birdieing his last two holes for a 67. “The names are up there, and I think that’s good for the game of golf right now, and it’s good for the FedEx Cup playoffs. No one knows what’s going to happen tomorrow.” Phil Mickelson somehow got into the mix, too. He shot a 63 and was finished before lunch, and while he didn’t expect to stay anywhere near the lead, he didn’t anticipate the course firming up. Of the last three groups to tee off, no one broke 70. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Cayman Islands football team defeated by Suriname
The Cayman Under 23 team which saw eight players take to the field against Suriname.
Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com
Eight members of the Cayman under 23 football team stepped up to play for the national side in their World Cup qualifier against Suriname. But despite the gamble of playing the young guns, the brave eleven lost out 1-0 on their road to Brazil. The Cayman Islands National Football Team will now have to rethink their strategies if they want to go to the World Cup. From the line-up of the under 23’s Theron Wood, Demion Williams, Donald Solomon, Nicholas Ebanks, Tex Whitelocke, Raymon Sealy, Luigi Hernandez and Andre McFarlane all represent the national team. The decisive strike came by way of a penalty kick 11 minutes into the first half of the game. Suriname’s player, Friso Cabinho took the penalty shot which deceived Cayman’s goalkeeper. Despite playing quality football and creating a solid line of defense, the
Caymanians did not respond in time to secure a draw or a victory. Cayman’s National Senior men’s team will have a good opportunity to apply their fine-tuning when they face El Salvador on Tuesday at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex. Captain Ian Lindo expressed the need for Caymanians to support the National team, stressing that the assurance of the public support will act as a morale booster for the team. The first time captain will be looking to make a good impression on the team, and says that the team is unified and confident about their campaign. He said: “We have been training together and playing together for a long time now and I am fully aware of what the other teams are capable of doing. We just have to go out there collectively with one goal in mind, which is to win and make our country proud. “It is my first time as captain at this
level and I will be playing my role with pride. I have a lot of confidence in my team. We have trained together for a long time, under the instructions of coach Carl Brown and our fitness instructor Thiago Cunha. We are not going to allow their efforts to go in vain. The public is being encouraged to wear red, take along their horns and drums, carry their national flags, and come out in their numbers to support the national team. The match kicks off at 7:30pm tonight.
