The rescued boat crew has finally arrived home. After nine days lost at sea followed by a dramatic rescue by a passing oil tanker – and then caught up in US immigration red tape – Travis Welcome and his crew are back in Cayman. And what a welcome they got. Friends and family of the Caymanian men feared dead waited patiently at Owen Roberts International Airport for United Airways flight number 2332 to land

from Charlotte. When it did, cheers could be heard all across George Town. Last month Mr Welcome, his son Elvis, brother-in-law Ernest Rankin, crewman Chad Ebanks and Hondurans Michael Garcia and Ted Woods set sail on a routine trip. Five hours into their journey and disaster struck when their 37foot vessel began to sink. Back home in East End their families prayed for a miracle.

After nine days adrift their prayers were answered. A passing oil tanker, the CPO Sweden, spotted their life raft and pulled the crew to safety. Last week they touched down on the tarmac and their close family were there to greet them. Mr Welcome said: “It is such a good feeling to be back home. At times we never thought we would make it.”

Soraya, belly dancer & child of the universe Christopher Tobutt “The belly-button is the centre of the universe,” says belly dancer Soraya. “Although I was born in Argentina, I feel the whole universe is my country.” Soraya, 39, came to Cayman four years ago. Since then she has been sharing the mystical secrets of belly dancing, along with many other dance styles, both to children and to adults. She presently teaches a belly dancing class at the Body Sculpture Gym. Soraya danced almost as soon as she could walk, she said, as if dancing were as natural as breathing. Both her grandparents on her mother’s side came to Argentina from Syria and one of Soraya’s earliest memories, her earliest, was dancing traditional Arabian danceone of the historical roots of belly dancing – in the Syrian communities of Buenos Aires. Her father’s grandparents were Spanish, so that, as she grew up, Soraya drank in the passionate dance traditions of two cultures. Today, her own style and the kind of dance she teaches, borrows from many traditions. “Belly Dance had its origins in Ancient Egypt. The soft undulations in belly dancing dedicated to the moon means the energy of the woman. The sharp movements of the hip are dedicated to the sun, and they mean the energy of the man. Belly dance is the art of combining both things,” she said. Men should do belly dancing too, Soraya says. So far she has had two men learning to belly dance, but she would like to see more. “It is so important for the man to know about the female part…to understand more about the other sex…how delicate a woman is, and also a woman can use the dance to explore how a man feels,” she said. Her philosophy, expressed through her dance, is all about being at one with the natural world, and at peace with oneself - she has turned her back on the competitive spirit that rules Western culture. “Look at nature….The white birds don’t compete with the black birds…

TIPS AND ADVICE PROPER HEATING AND COOLING PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL FOR INTERIOR COMFORT AND SAFETY REASONS. Having your car’s heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system serviced regularly can help save you money on more expensive repairs. A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF YOUR CARʼS HVAC SYSTEM SHOULD BE PERFORMED ANNUALLY. A/C service should also INCLUDE A CHECK OF THE COMPRESSORʼS DRIVE BELT AND TENSION. Questions to ask when getting your HVAC system serviced include the following: 1. My car’s A/C system seems to cool intermittently and I hear a clicking on and off from underneath the hood. What does this mean? 2. Is it normal to have water dripping underneath my car when I use the A/C system? 3. What happens if I continue to use my car’s A/C system, even though it’s not cooling properly?

For the last three years, Soraya has been involved with teaching the children at the Lighthouse school. ‘In my mind I think everyone can change. I have faith in the children at the Lighthouse school, and I think they perceive this, because they are always running to me when they see me, saying, ‘Miss Soraya! Miss Soraya!’” she said. “It’s not necessary change the whole world, but you are the king of your little space, and you need to take care of the people around you. If you do this, the world will change.”

iStrange No place like home: Peacock flies back to zoo NEW YORK (AP) — A peacock with a sense of adventure — and a good sense of direction — has flown back home to New York’s Central Park Zoo. On Tuesday, humans flocked and tweeted as the peacock left the zoo for a perch on a Fifth Avenue window ledge. It had good taste: A condo there reportedly sold for $22.5 million in 2009. Zookeepers predicted the handsome green and blue bird would make its way home — and it did just before 7 a.m. Wednesday. It’s been a rebellious season in the city zoos. In March, an Egyptian cobra was found nearly a week after it went missing at the Bronx Zoo’s Reptile House. Two months later, a zoo peahen was recovered at a nearby auto-body shop.

A peacock on the loose after it escaped from the Central Park Zoo stands on a window ledge above fifth avenue.

Hawaii girl finds message in bottle from Oregon KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — A 10-year-old Oregon boy scribbled a note on binder paper, stuck it into a bottle and tossed it into the ocean. A year later and 2,000 miles away, a 9-year-old girl exploring a Hawaii shoreline found the bottle floating in a tide pool. Since then, the two children have been exchanging emails and plan to become pen pals. Thomas Craig, now 11, of Silverton Ore., said he hadn’t thought much about his message in the bottle he threw into Winchester Bay during a family fishing trip until he recently received an email from Trinity Ballesteros, of Kailua-Kona.

Fisherman lives to celebrate his children’s birthdays Kevin Creary

Pic Boat 2: (LtoR) Travis Welcome, Chad Ebanks, Elvis Welcome and Ernest Rankin (photo by Graham Rankin) Laticia and DeAndre Welcome have been given the best birthday presents ever – their family back together! Dad Travis and older brother Elvis touched down in Cayman last week after cheating death onboard the stricken vessel Miss Janice. And as Laticia celebrated her 20th birthday and DeAndre turns five this week, never in their wildest dreams did they expect their father to be with them. After waking up in his home and on dry land, Mr Welcome said: “It is so good to be back home. “It was my daughter’s birthday last week and in a few days it’ll be my son’s, six days after will be my little boy, DeAndre’s birthday.” And next week marks a triple celebration for Travis and Janice Welcome who mark their 21st wedding anniversary. Mr. Welcome struggled to equate anything in his life to the horror of

being stranded at sea. “I don’t know anything that could compare to that experience that was so different. The guys were breaking down and sometimes they would cry, just anxiously wishing for a drink of water.” According to a survivor of a fishing vessel his dreams almost went under with the submerged investment. His first time in charge of the vessel on a trip to Honduras, was almost his last. “Many years ago it was my dream to have a boat like that. I tried getting one before but it never worked. “The first two trips without me were broken trips, the third one was just enough to pay the crew, and there was no profit.” Travis Welcome, the eldest of the group of six fishermen that were adrift on the seas for Nine days have finally been reunited with his family. He, along with the other

five fishermen, was returned to the Island on Thursday evening. Not only is he overjoyed at being alive after the traumatic experience; his return coincides with his daughter Laticia’s birthday. Speaking to iNews from his home in East End, the elated fisherman was eager to absorb the embrace of his youngest son, De Andre’ who was there during the interview. According to Travis, the ordeal has left him seriously concerned about further quests on the sea, as he and his crew had the scariest experience they never even imagined. “I wouldn’t want to go out there again like that, but somebody’s got to do this job,” he said. Mr. Welcome is now relaxing at home catching up with time lost with his family. The other members of the lucky crew are also trying to come to grips with the emotional effects of the ordeal.

New beach plan for West Bay Road

Tad Stoner

WHERE FINE FOOD IS MATCHED BY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY on the waterfront located on the edge of the

Caribbean Sea Contractors will create an entirely new recreational area to the north of the Public Beach as part of Dart Realty’s $1.2 billion, 30-year deal with local government, creating a host of new amenities. The first phase of the project will start in 12 months as Dart closes an initial section of West Bay Road in front of the old Marriott Courtyard Hotel, marking the start to reconstruction of both the building and Public Beach. West Bay MLA and Deputy Speaker Cline Glidden outlined the plan at a Thursday night community meeting at West Bay’s John A. Cumber School to discuss the “ForCaymanAlliance” plans by Dart and the administration. The new area is in addition to the refurbishment of Public Beach, Mr Glidden said, unveiling the plan as part of the reconstruction of the West Bay Road corridor. “We will add a whole new beach just off Yacht Drive. We think this an enhancement as we close a portion of West Bay Road,” he told a packed auditorium. “The new beach will offer parking for 200 cars, new food and beverage areas, cabanas, a carousel, a campsite, bike paths, bathrooms, three beach volleyball courts, a beach soccer pitch and open lawns,” he said. Asked about access to the nearly half-mile of waterfront after the

closure of 2,500 feet of West Bay Road between Coutts and Yacht Drive, Dart Realty Director and Chief Operating Officer Jackie Doak said the outline plan showed only the main highway. “The map shows only the area of the road closure, but there will be other access roads,” she said, countering doubts about the project and suggesting the new facilities would be broadly available. Minister of Education and MLA Rolstin Anglin rebuffed one speaker who opposed the road closure, telling the MLA that the move was likely to “change our lives, our lifestyle, our culture and our habits”. “It’s frustrating where we have got to,” Mr Anglin said, “when there is no long-range planning. It means our children will have to get to grips with how we build our economy in the future. Closing the road will ‘change our lives’? We‘re not seeing beyond the tips of our noses,” he said. “We need to look at the big picture for the future. We are complaining about 2,000 feet of road? Most of that is privately owned, and what happens if the private owners decided to build condos. This is going to be developed anyway. We need a long-term view for this country,” Mr Anglin said. Ms Doak said the closure was critical to plans for the area. The reconstruction and expansion of the beach was part of the re--creation of

the Courtyard Marriott. “Hotels located there have failed twice,” she said, alluding to the old Holiday Inn as well as the Marriott. “So we need the road relocated,” echoing a similar application several years ago, rejected by Planning officials, by previous owner Stan Thomas. Addressing a suggestion for a footbridge across West Bay Road, linking the hotel with the beach, similar to that at the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, she said “there is not enough depth there for a bridge.” Mr Glidden rejected the suggestion that the public was giving up 3.5 acres of critical land to aid Dart’s private plans. ”We are getting nine acres of land between Public Beach and the Esterley Tibbetts Highway,” he said. “That land once sold for $6 million. We are not losing the beach; we are gaining six acres of land.”

Police find nothing and call off search for Kerran Tad Stoner Police have called off the sea search for Kerran Natalee Baker, missing since 30 July, saying they had scoured the sea between Pedro Castle and East End, finding nothing. “In the last 24 hours, we conducted an in-water search starting at the Pedro area where her car was found,” said Detective Inspector Marlon Bodden on Friday. “The water search took the dive team eastward, as the currents and drift patterns drove officers straight to East End,” he said. They had found nothing, Mr Bodden said, “but that is not to say we know she is there”. Police were pursuing “any conceivable possibility. We have not given up on our objective. “We have ceased the dive search at this time, barring any developments”, Mr Bodden said. Renewing the hunt “has a lot of safety issues and needs to be well thought out.” Ms Baker, 25, a George Town nursing assistant, vanished sometime after 7:00pm on Saturday, 30 July. Friends reported her missing on Sunday, triggering a police alert. Seachers found groceries and her handbag on her kitchen counter at her Arrow Drive home in Bodden Town, subsequently spotting her white Honda Civic parked near Pedro Castle, car keys in the grass and a possible bloodstain on the nearby shoreline. At police headquarters on Friday, Ms Baker’s sister, Toney-Ann Anthony, 18, and aunt, Iona “Patsy” Anthony-Beadle, 46, made a plea for information. “We really, really need to locate her,” said Ms Anthony. “This has been devastating to our family,

Kerran’s aunt, Iona “Patsy” Anthony-Beadle, and sister, Toney-Ann Anthony. and our mom has taken it harder than anyone else. Please, everyone play their part. I am willing to talk to anyone, listen to anything. We really need to know whether she is dead or alive.” Breaking under the strain, Ms Anthony-Beadle begged for information. “This is tearing our hearts apart. We need her. We just want to take her home. We are her family. We are good people. Just tell us where she is. We need your help, we need the churches, we need your prayers. Please help us, no matter what. “Kerren,” she said, “please make a sign so that we can find you.” Moved, Mr Bodden said this was “not the kind of circumstance we like to be part of. I can never use words to express this show of pain and distress. We need information and assistance. We continue our line of enquiry.” Chief Inspector John Jones described some of the leads police had pursued, but said no one had been arrested. Acting on a reports of a lateSaturday sighting of Ms Baker’s car, he said, officers had found little in a Thursday search of Midway Close, near Lower Valley.

Kerran Natalee Baker “We didn’t find anything, but if that sighting is true, please tell us. Did anyone see the car parked in Midway Close? Was anyone driving by on Shamrock Road? Please phone us,” Mr Jones said. A previous boyfriend, he said, had been questioned and released, DNA analysis of the Pedro Castle bloodstain was pending and collected. CCTV footage was under review. “We are keeping an open mind to all possibilities because it’s very dangerous to go down a single line [of enquiry].” Mr Jones said. “We are struggling for clues.”

Jamaica’s Independence celebrations kick off Kevin Creary

The festivity is on, food is on sale, the music and craft have their representation at the 49th year of Jamaican Independence celebration. The streets of George Town have been ignited with Jamaican Folklore. Stalls along Cargil Avenue, displayed the Jamaican Culture for all to see and be part of. From Jamaica’s national dish, of ackee and salt fish, to the rare traditional foods and pastries, such as bullas and puddings and the traditionally acclaimed “Blue Draws” [a Jamaican pastry made from cornmeal] everything was there. The eating, drinking, greeting and sampling of different tastes at the Jamaican’s 40th Anniversary of Independence grabbed by passers attention. Also at the daytime event was Jamaican singing sensation, Christopher Martin, who was all set to rock the evening segment. The all day celebration started as early as 7:00 am and was accommodated by the closure of some adjoining roads by the RCIPS. The evening segment, at Reflections in Godfrey Nixon Way, saw Christopher Martin and “Super C” sound system entertaining the independence celebrants.

Look what’s “spouted” up over the sea A huge waterspout appeared off the coast of George Town on Friday. The intense vortex lasted around 20 minutes and could be seen all over the capital. iNews reader Jennifer White took this amazing photograph from Plantation Village. A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water. While it is often weaker than most of its land counterparts, stronger versions spawned by mesocyclones do occur. Waterspouts have a five-part life cycle: formation of a dark spot on the water surface, spiral pattern on the water surface, formation of a spray ring, development of the visible condensation funnel, and ultimately decay.

Church leader assaulted child brides SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Warren Jeffs was convicted of sexually assaulting two child brides after a whirlwind trial in which the polygamist

sect leader insisted on representing himself, only to remain silent through much of the proceedings and present just one witness — a church elder who gave an extended Sunday school lesson on its beliefs. The tall and lanky head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints stood stone-faced as a verdict of guilty on two counts of sexual assault of underage girls was read, after the jury of 10 women and two men deliberated for 3½ hours. He had stood mute during his closing argument, staring at the floor for all but a few seconds of the half hour he was

allotted. At one point, he turned and looked toward prosecutors and the jury, most of whom avoided direct eye contact with him. “I am at peace,” he mumbled, then said no more. The only noise in the courtroom was the creaking of wooden benches brimming with spectators. Jeffs, 55, had claimed his religious rights were being trampled and that God would seek revenge if the trial continued. He now faces up to life in prison. The sentencing phase of the trial began after the verdict was announced, and Texas’ attorney general said it could take three days.

Entire police force resigns in Mexico CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — An entire 20-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said. The officers’ resignation left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services, Chihuahua state chief prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said. State and federal police have moved in to take over police work, he said. The mass resignation appeared to be connected to a Tuesday attack by gunmen that killed three of the town’s officers, Salas said.

But it wasn’t the first deadly attack on the police department this year. In mid-May, police chief Manuel Martinez, who had been in office just seven months, was gunned down with two other officers on a nearby highway. The three had been kidnapped a day before police found their bodies riddled with bullets in the back seat of a sedan. The town’s police force was relatively new. Angry residents had led authorities to replace the entire force last September after the mob killings of two teenagers who had allegedly kidnapped a girl from a seafood

The Editor Speaks Slavery Colin Wilson

Independence Day in Jamaica was last Saturday (6) and there were many who celebrated it here. Jamaica and the Cayman Islands have close ties. The Caymans were officially declared and administered as a dependency of Jamaica from 1863 and that lasted until 1959 although the Governor of Jamaica also remained as the Governor of the Cayman Islands. Three years later, when Jamaica obtained its independence and, as one of our writers put it, “its freedom,” we became a direct dependency of the British Crown. So, did we swap our freedom from Jamaica to slavery to another? It doesn’t seem like slavery here and I was surprised at the writer’s terminology of ‘freedom’. But if you are not free you are a slave. Colonialism has a nasty ring to it. And when I questioned my reporter he said it all had to do with exploitation colonialism. “We celebrate it now whether we are better off now than we were,” he said to me. Most certainly the British, and he was certainly talking about them, did conquer a country to exploit all of its natural resources and native population to make money for them. Wikipedia says it this way, “A reason for which

iView

a country might practice exploitation colonialism is the immediate financial gain produced by the low-cost extraction of raw materials by means of an enslaved native people, usually administered by a colonial government.” Notice the word ‘enslaved’. On Sunday (July 31), at St George’s Anglican (Episcopal) Church, Emancipation Day was celebrated in observance of the emancipation of slaves of African origin. St George’s is part of the Diocese of Jamaica & the Cayman Islands and many local Jamaican officials participated in the service. There is no doubt slavery is an abomination where people are treated as property, forced to work and have no rights. What is shocking is THE NUMBER OF SLAVES TODAY IS HIGHER THAN ANY POINT IN HISTORY – 27 MILLION! So if one has become free it certainly is a joyous time and should be celebrated. However, we could be swapping one master for another; but we can still party – we have our independence. colin.wilson@ieyenews.com

Change of laws poses risks, says accountant

351 Dorcy DR. Industrial Park, George Town PO Box 327

Tad Stoner

Changes to accounting laws that regulate how government keeps financial records run the risk of allowing agencies to relapse into the inadequate bookkeeping practices that have plagued government for years. Changes to the Public Management and Finance Law, introduced in 2005 and amended several times since, will enable government to clear long-standing accounting arrears. However, fears linger that easing the regulations will leave the initial problems unaddressed. Kenneth Krys, founder and CEO of international accountants KRyS Global, which specializes in insolvency and forensic accounting, said that while the changes would enable government to correct arrears dating as far back as 2004, the question remained whether they provided “policies and procedures, and the right people, to assess the future”. Last Wednesday, Premier McKeeva Bush pushed through the Legislative Assembly a series of amendments to the management and finance law that would enable easier accounting and “fix those issues with the law itself or the underlying accounting systems and procedures”. He said that government had consistently broken the law by not completing annual accounts for at least six years, but, essentially blamed the complexities of the regulations. Keith Luck, finance management consultant from London’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s, invited in February by Governor Duncan Taylor to study Cayman’s accounting laws, had recommended three major changes: suspension of quarterly reporting; an end to output reports and audits for 2004/’05 and 2007/’08; and a reduction in accounting by government’s two dozen statutory authorities and government companies. The Auditor-General, Mr Bush said, had agreed with the recommendations, saying, for example, that output statements

Hon. McKeeva Bush were “very limited in value and did not provide effective public accountability”. Cayman’s previous AuditorGeneral Dan Duguay said three years ago that as much as $1.5 billion in public money remained unaccounted for because of slack practices throughout government departments, statutory bodies such as the Hospital Services Authority (HSA) and government-owned companies such as Cayman Airways and the Cayman Turtle Farm. While the HSA and Turtle Farm have remedied much of their arrears since then, outstanding accounts still abound. “Looking at the Auditor-General‘s comments, the reports are adverse. The financial information is so bad and so materially misrepresented that you can’t interpret it,” Mr Krys said. “You cannot tell anything about

the past six years or seven years. If people have taken money from the coffers, you can’t account for it. “So this is a get-out-of-jailfree card,” he said, alluding to Wednesday’s legal changes, “but the question is if you can stop [similar practices] in the future? There will be no quarterly financial reports and no output reports. And if you can’t say what happened in the past, it is going to skew how you finish. “It may mean a better use if resources,” Mr Krys said, “but it doesn’t really tell you much. This is the public’s money that we’re accounting for. If this were a real corporation, you’d have to remove yourself. “The only hope going forward is that the resources are properly allocated,” he said. tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

So... What really is an Android? Claire O’Dea

One of the most recent additions to the Tech Dictionary is “Android” which can be easily defined as “an operating software”. Like Apple’s iOS, Android operating software focuses on efficiency and enhancing the features of mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets. In 2005, Android, an infant company, was acquired by Google and has since produced a flexible, upgradeable system. The debut Android platform phone, the ‘HTC Dream’, was released in 2008. As consumer awareness grew, 2010 was a year of great successes for Android, mainly attributable to HTC’s collaboration with Google and launching its flagship Android device, the ‘Nexus One’, and Samsung releasing the ‘Nexus-S’. Since the original version of the software in 2007, many features have been added to enhance performance, functionality and user-friendliness. Android’s open source nature (anyone has access to the coding) has resulted in companies and individuals developing many innovative applications. The Android Market (application store run by Google) now has over 200,000 applications which have contributed significantly to the extended functionality of the devices. Android’s multitasking capabilities, customization, performance and open source platform are the main contributors to this system’s rapid growth. It has gained much popularity among developers and has proved a huge success in the Smartphone market. It is expected that Android will further establish brand image and awareness and continue to prove very successful in the highly competitive Smartphone market.

Anne

“…. there were no Protestants belonging to the class of servants”

Part 18 The Reverend James Gaston was an Englishman by birth. On coming to America he had accepted a chaplaincy in the army, with the intention of resigning it as soon as he had become sufficiently familiar with the ways of the Church in this country to feel at ease in a parish. But years had passed, and he was a chaplain still; for evidently the country parishes were not regulated according to his home ideas, the rector’s authority— yes, even the tenure of his rectorship— being dependent upon the chance wills and fancies of his people. Here was no dignity, no time for pleasant classical studies, and no Approval of them; on the contrary, a continuous going out to tea, and a fear of offending, it might be, a warden’s wife, who very likely had been brought up a Dissenter. The Reverend James Gaston therefore preferred the government for a master. Dr. Gaston held the office of post chaplain, having been, on application, selected by the council of administration. He had no military rank, but as there happened to be quarters to spare, a cottage was assigned to him, and as he had had the good fortune to be liked and respected by all the officers who had succeeded each other on the little island, his position, unlike that of some of his brethren, was endurable, and even comfortable. He had been a widower for many years; he had never cared to marry again, but had long ago recovered his cheerfulness, and had brought up, intellectually at least, two children whom he loved as if they had been his own—the boy Erastus Pronando, and Anne Douglas. The children returned his affection heartily, and made a great happiness in his lonely life. The girl was his good scholar, the boy his bad one; yet the teacher was severe with Anne, and indulgent to the boy. If any one had

asked the reason, perhaps he would have said that girls were docile by nature, whereas boys, having more temptations, required more lenity; or perhaps that girls who, owing to the constitution of society, never advanced far in their studies, should have all the incitement of severity while those studies lasted, whereas boys, who are to go abroad in the world and learn from life, need no such severity. But the real truth lay deeper than this, and the chaplain himself was partly conscious of it; he felt that the foundations must be laid accurately and deeply in a nature like that possessed by this young girl. “Good-morning, uncle,” said Anne, entering and putting down her Latin books (as children they had adopted the fashion of calling their teacher “uncle”). “Was your coffee good this morning?” “Ah, well, so-so, child, soso,” replied the chaplain, hardly aroused yet from his problem. “Then I must go out and speak to— to—what is this one’s name, uncle?” “Her name is—here, I have it written down—Mrs. Evelina Crangall,” said the chaplain, reading aloud from his notebook, in a slow, sober voice. Evidently it was a matter of moment to him to keep that name well in his mind. Public opinion required that Dr. Gaston should employ a Protestant servant; no one else was obliged to

8 August 2011 to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

conform, but the congregation felt that a stand must be made somewhere, and they made it, like a chalk line, at the parson’s threshold. Now it was very well known that there were no Protestants belonging to the class of servants on the island who could cook at all, that talent being confined to the French quarter-breeds and to occasional Irish soldiers’ wives, none of them Protestants. The poor parson’s cooking was passed from one incompetent hand to another—lakesailors’ wives, wandering emigrants, moneyless forlorn females left by steamers, belonging to that strange floating population that goes forever travelling up and down the land, without apparent motive save a vague El-Dorado hope whose very conception would be impossible in any other country save this. Mrs. Evelin Crangall was a hollow-chested woman with faded blue eyes, one prominent front tooth, scanty light hair, and for a form a lattice-work of bones. She preserved, however, a somewhat warlike aspect in her limp calico, and maintained that she thoroughly understood the making of coffee, but that she was accustomed to the use of a French coffee-pot Anne, answering serenely that no French coffee-pot could be obtained in that kitchen, went to work and explained the whole process from the beginning, the woman meanwhile surveying her with suspicion, which gradually gave way before the firm but pleasant manner. With a long list of kindred Evelinas, Anne had had dealings before. Sometimes her teachings effected a change for the better, sometimes they did not, but in any case the Evelinas seldom remained long. They were wanderers by nature, and had sudden desires to visit San Francisco, or to “go down the river to Newerleens.”

Build it and they will come? Anthony Travers

The “moderated despondency” of the Cayman Finance press release in response to the first quarter 2011 economic report published by the Economic and Statistics Office does not go far enough in identifying the true nature of the economic dysfunction that is currently gripping the Cayman Islands economy. Mutual fund figures may well be down by some 1.3%, more tellingly too the number of mutual fund administrators has dropped from 134 to 130 over the first quarter. But these numbers simply reflect a decline in brass plate operations. It is only the decline in work permits by some 10.6% and the 7.5% contraction in money supply that confirm the prediction of a financial service industry and, therefore necessarily a local economy, in a dire state of contraction. The fact that over the first quarter, the total outstanding debt of central Government increased from $508.7 million a year ago to $561 million, indicates too that with a declining revenue base from the financial services industry, nothing like enough has yet been done to cut down on expenditure and certainly not enough to show that this deficit can be reduced meaningfully in the future. The problem with the focus on these statistics, troubling as they may be, is that they do nothing to emphasise the core aspect of the economic down turn. The fact remains that a population of 55,000 with the fund administration industry now effectively outsourced to Canada, Dublin and other jurisdictions cannot support retail and commercial operations and most critically employment at the local level. The need to boost population of professional and high net worth individuals has been recognized in a number of competitor jurisdictions. The Irish Government has just announced an ambitious

five year plan to introduce 10,000 new jobs in the financial services sector, specifically by introducing a new personal tax deal, crucially, Dublin lays claim to actual fund administration, which provides real employment, to 65% of the nonEuropean based fund administration market. Employment levels in Ireland grew by 5% in 2010 and are expected to grow by 8% in 2011. So too Jersey is considering amendment to its personal tax regime to attract high net worth individuals intent on leaving the United Kingdom. By comparison and citing privately the high cost of employment and intractability of the work permit process, we now hear of yet another trust company in Cayman proposes to consolidate its operations outside of the Cayman Islands maintaining only a brass plate presence. Not only does this lack of real business activity supporting the financial services industry ill prepare the Cayman Islands to deal with the inevitable OECD substantial presence attack but it plays straight into the hands of Senator Levin who has newly introduced his “Stop the Tax Haven Abuse” Bill. The successful lobbying effort of Cayman Finance against identical legislation in 2009 is now a distant and irrelevant memory. Decisions made in the United States with respect to the management and control of the Cayman incorporated funds and companies will be taxed, should this legislation pass, as if they were United States corporations subject to United States taxation. But where then are the professional decision makers in the administration and asset management industry based in Cayman who can refute this attack. The bald and unpalatable truth is that the statistics in the first quarter economic report describe the decline of an outmoded financial services industry tailored to the global economics of the past

quarter of a century which by virtue restricted immigration procedures and the rollover policy has been constrained from adapting to the new global economic order. Details of the most positive aspect of the Cayman Islands response, the new Economic Development Zone, are not yet forthcoming. Particularly, not on how precisely the immigration morass will be circumvented to improve the prospects of real financial and other operations being undertaken from within the Cayman Islands by qualified personnel from overseas. Certainly, the traditional benefit of an Economic Development Zone, tax free operations, can have no real bearing here; they are tax free in any event although it may be that that aspect could be enhanced by the provision of specific guarantees. Nor does a “Build it and they will come” approach suffice. A cursory review of the retail traffic in Camana Bay will reveal that even the most benevolent developer and his tenants require greater spending power from the local population, if these structures are to generate adequate economic activity. Without reform to the immigration laws and the procedures applied under them, the Cayman Islands financial services industry will continue to wither, be vunerable to attacks based on the lack of substantial presence and local employment opportunity will be inadequate to support the local population. Other jurisdictions seem to have little difficulty in providing attractive incentives. Infrastructure development is not of itself the solution; the buildings must be filled by professionals undertaking real economic activity and time is short. anthony.travers@ieyenews.com

The acoustic guitar Georgina Wilcox The acoustic guitar is essentially a descendent of the classical guitar, which, in its current form, has been around for over 100 years. The main difference between the classical and acoustic guitars is one is strung with nylon strings, while the other is strung with steel strings. Since the acoustic guitar is strung with steel strings, it has a louder, brighter sound that is appealing to folk and blues players. Another difference is the acoustic guitar has a bigger body size, stronger structure, and a narrower neck. The structure of the acoustic guitar is stronger so that it can withstand the immense tension placed on it by the heavier steel strings. The bodies of cheap acoustic guitars are typically made from laminated tonewood. More expensive acoustics are made from higher cuts of solid spruce top wood. The material that the body is made from really matters, so those looking for a rich sound will want to choose a guitar with the more expensive spruce top wood. Many players (luthiers) feel a well-made guitar’s tone improves over time. The neck of the guitar is usually made from maple, mahogany, or rosewood. However, some necks are comprised of different woods. Again, the quality of wood does matter. Generally speaking, acoustic guitars with necks made of a high quality maple or mahogany and bodies made with solid spruce top are quality guitars with great tone. These guitars usually cost $300 plus. The vibration of the strings is amplified by the soundhole of the guitar. This is where all sound that you hear comes from. If you look inside the soundhole you will see the construction of the body. There are braces and linings, all essential to keeping the guitar intact and playable. X-bracing - a strong, durable bracing - is typically used because it is heavy and strong enough to withstand the pressure of steel strings.

On the body of the guitar is the bridge. This is where one end of the strings goes. The strings are inserted into the little holes and the bridge pegs hold them there. On the neck of the guitar is the fretboard. Most fretboards are made of rosewood or ebony and higher quality woods are often found on the most expensive models. The headstock features six tuning pegs (three on each side of the headstock) and six tuners (three on each side of the headstock). Good Acoustic guitars will have die-cast Grover tuners that usually stay in tune longer than other brands of tuners. Like their electric counterparts, acoustic guitars are tuned in the standard E A D G B E tuning. Most have six strings, while some have twelve that have an additional, doubling string for each of the traditional six strings. Artists such as Lead Belly, Pete Seeger and Leo Kottke made these guitars famous. The acoustic guitar still remains a very popular instrument. It is used in virtually every style of music including rock, pop, country, blues and folk. They are commonly referred to as “flattop” guitars. However there are others:A guitar maker named Lloyd Loar, who based the shape and characteristics of the archtop on a mandolin, invented the archtop guitar. Archtops are primarily steelstringed guitars, which separates them from guitars that utilize nylontype strings. Additionally, archtops generally have a hollow body type, and they tend to mimic violins or other classical stringed instruments in style. Perhaps the most obvious telltale sign of an archtop is their

f-hole, which resembles the traditional f-holes found on violins. These guitars are most commonly used by swing and jazz players and often incorporate electronics in the form of a pickup. The “Selmer-Maccaferri guitar” (usually played by those who follow the style of Django Reinhardt) is an unusual-looking instrument, distinguished by a fairly large body with square bouts, and either a “D”- shaped or longitudinal oval soundhole. The strings are gathered at the tail like an archtop guitar, but the top is flatter. It also has a wide fingerboard and slotted head. It has a loud volume and penetrating tone that makes it suitable for single-note soloing, and it is frequently employed as a lead instrument in gypsy swing. The “D”-shaped soundhole model was originally designed to have an internal resonator but the guitar worked better without it. The later Selmer model, with the small vertical oval soundhole, never had a resonator; in fact, it was a design repudiation of the resonator model. Around late 1933, after a handful of transitional models, it was offered with the longer 670mm (26.4”) scale. Once it was available, this was the model that Django really played. Almost all Selmers ever made are this model. Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than conventional acoustic guitars, which were overwhelmed by horns and percussion instruments in dance orchestras. They are used today mainly for bluegrass and blues. Acoustic-electric guitars have the ability to be both plugged into an amp and played unplugged, have been around for roughly 80 years.

Cayman Olympian set for pastures new Sports Reporter

Kareem Streete-Thompson will be leaving Florida State University after serving three years as a volunteer assistant coach, as he has been hired to coach short sprints and horizontal jumps at the University of Missouri. Streete-Thompson is the Cayman Islands national record holder for the 100-metre dash and the long jump and is a three-time Olympian. He enjoyed a long career on the amateur and professional athletics scene. His early accomplishments included establishment of the long jump records in both the under 17 and under 20 divisions at the Carifta Games, achievements which have not yet been bettered. He was twice named as the recipient of the Austin Sealy award. As a student-athlete at Rice University, Kareem gained 11 AllAmerica honours and won the NCAA Division 1 indoor and outdoor long jump titles in his senior year. He also attained a gold medal in the World University Games. Kareem was inducted into the Rice Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998. He graduated from Rice with a degree in political science and obtained a masters in sports management while at Florida State. Kareem was the first athlete to win CAC, Pan Am and Commonwealth Games medals for the Cayman Islands. His personal best for 100 metres is 9.96 seconds and he has reached 28’3.75”/8.63 metres in the long jump. Carl Lewis is the only other person ever to have run under ten seconds and jumped over twentyeight feet. He is currently advising British long jumper Greg Rutherford, a 2008 Olympian, who will compete in the upcoming World Championships. Kareem is married to sprinthurdles coach Jackie Richards of Florida State, and they have one daughter, Janae, born last year. Head Coach Brett Halter of Missouri waxed enthusiastic about Kareem’s joining the Tigers. He

iSports Powell withdraws from London meeting Writen by : Victoria Anderson

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.

LONDON (AP) — Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell pulled out of Friday’s Diamond League meeting at Crystal Palace, citing a groin injury.

In a statement released by organizers, Powell says he has felt tightness in his groin since competing in Budapest on Saturday and he “just can’t take the risk” with the world championships beginning Aug. 27 in Daegu, South Korea. The 28-year-old Powell has the fastest 100-meter time in the world this season of 9.78 seconds. He is aiming to beat defending champion Usain Bolt at the world championships for his first major individual title. Powell had been scheduled to run the 100 on Friday night. Former 100m world record holder, Asafa Powell, will not run in today’s London AVIVA Grand Prix Diamond League meet as a precautionary measure, following complaints about a tightness in his groin. “I have had some tightness in my groin since the race in Budapest. I had hoped that it would have cleared by now but it is still there,” Powell said. Powell looked comfortable en route to victory in Budapest, shutting down pretty early as he clocked 9.86 seconds. Powell is currently the fastest 100m athlete going into the IAAF World Championships, scheduled for Daegu, South Korea with a mark of 9.78 seconds - posted over a month ago in Lausanne.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Pro Bowl tight end Marcedes Lewis has signed a five-year contract worth about $35 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lewis will get nearly $17 million guaranteed. The Jaguars placed the franchise tag on Lewis after he caught 58 passes for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns — all career highs — in 2010. The 6-foot-6, 262-pounder signed a one-year tender worth $7.28 million, the average salary of the five highest-paid tight ends in the league.

WHILE STOCKS LAST!!

The NFL lockout prevented Lewis’ agent and the Jaguars from working out a long-term deal, and Lewis skipped the first five days of training camp while waiting for a new deal. He reported Monday, but sat out full-contact drills while the contract was being negotiated. He signed it Friday morning and should practice soon. Meanwhile the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed linebacker LaMarr Woodley to a six-year contract that will keep him with the team through the 2016 season. The contract extension replaces the one-year, $10 million deal agreed to in February when the Steelers placed the franchise player tag on the fifth-year star. The deal was announced Friday. Earlier, Woodley posted the news on Twitter, saying “Wanted u 2 hear it here 1stdrafted here...super bowl here... will retire here!!”

NEW DELHI (AP) — Auditors slammed India’s preparations and conduct of the Commonwealth Games last year as deeply flawed, riddled with favoritism and vastly more expensive than planned in a final report that could result in criminal prosecutions. India had hoped the games would buff its image as a rising superpower. Instead it was deeply embarrassed by construction delays, cost overruns and corruption allegations. The head of the organizing committee, Suresh Kalmadi, is in jail on corruption charges. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s report questioned

Kalmadi’s appointment on a recommendation by the prime minister’s office in 2004 despite objections from the then-Sports Minister Sunil Dutt. Law Minister Salman Khursheed said the report from India’s top auditing body was presented to Parliament on Friday. “Parliament will reflect on it and decide what needs to be done.” The report also said there were serious irregularities with bidding and contracts. It said the games cost $4.1 billion instead of the $270 million initially estimated. Games revenue that was supposed to pay for the event amounted to only $38 million. It said the construction of venues and infrastructure lagged behind schedule as the seven-year window from 2003 to 2010 for preparations of the games was wasted.
