Paul Kennedy A man has died after a car crash on the Esterley Tibbetts Highway yesterday morning – the sixth road death this year. Richard Martin, 52, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident close to the Lakeside Villas apartment complex. Mr. Martin was originally from Pennsylvania, USA, but latterly had been resident on Grand Cayman. The driver of the other car, a 31-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving under the influence. He was yesterday in police custody waiting to be questioned over the accident. The accident came less than 24 hours after the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service launched their Christmas campaign which emphasised new traffic laws.

It’s safety first for little darlings Photos by Christopher Tobutt
PC Stacyann Stewart, with some of the wide variety of child seats.
Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
It was “safety first” at Little Darlings store on Shedden Road, as PC Stacyann Stewart of the RCIPS Traffic Management Department gave a demonstration of different kinds of child seats in cars, and why they are important. She began with a statement of the law in the Cayman Islands: “Whilst travelling in a motor vehicle a child should always be seat belted, as per Section 63 of the Cayman Islands Traffic Law. “In the case of small children they should always be in an appropriate car seat. There are different types of car seats depending on the age, weight and height of your child. To ensure that your child is in the appropriate car seat parents should check the manufacturers label for information,” she said. There are other important considerations when choosing a car seat: “It is always best to use a new car seat unless it’s a car seat that was previously owned by yourself and you are sure of its condition. “Whilst second-hand car seats can be used, they often do not have instructions with them, and they may have cracks or other problems that make the seat unsafe. “The seat must fit your child’s size and be able to be properly installed in to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
your car,” PC Stewart continued. PC Stewart then demonstrated the three main types of child seat, for three different age groups of children. The first kind was an infant-only rear-facing seat for babies who weigh up to 30 pounds. There was also a forward-facing car seat suitable for newborn babies up to toddlers, but if it is used for newborn babies it must be tilted upwards, so that the baby assumes a safe and stable position. The third type of child seat, known
as a Booster Seat, is used for older children who weigh up to 80 pounds. “All car seats have expiration dates somewhere on them, usually on the bottom of the seat. Do not use a car seat past its expiration date, as the plastic may no longer be strong enough to support your child safely,” PC Stewart said. “If in doubt about installation, follow the manufacturers instructions. Also, read your car’s owner’s manual to determine the safest place in your car to install a car seat.”

Surfers rescued Two surfers who took to the waves in high seas had to be rescued with a full scale police operation. Officers were called with reports a man and a woman had gotten into difficulties off South Sound cemetery just after 5.30 on Tuesday evening. The police helicopter, which was airborne at the time, managed to get the people to safety. A spokesman for the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said: “The rough seas and shallow water surrounding the Cay, coupled with the rapidly approaching darkness would have made a sea rescue highly improbable. “The decision was made by the police helicopter crew to carry out a rescue before weather conditions already bad, deteriorated further to become life threatening which involved landing on the Cay and transporting the two individuals one at a time to the nearest available landing site which was the South Sound rugby club. “The police marine unit and uniformed officers secured the rugby field for a safe landing and assessment of the rescued persons. Neither person received any injuries. The rescue was conducted swiftly without incident.” Police have warned people not to go out into the sea during the bad weather. The spokesman added: “Police are warning anyone not to go out to sea until conditions improve. Those who do so despite this warning not only put their own lives at risk but also those of their rescuers.”

Dart delay welcomed by protestors Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Both West Bay’s Concerned Citizens group and Bodden Town’s anti-dump coalition have welcomed the delay of the Dart-government final agreement, hoping to boost their fight against construction proposals in their districts. At the same time, property developer, project manager for the Shetty Hospital and organiser of the “Make it Happen, Cayman” movement Gene Thompson yesterday expressed frustration at the delay. “Things need to get going,” he said, lamenting the lack of movement on the Dart pact and other infrastructure projects. “It’s a good agreement and it needs to get done, and get done now.” Meanwhile, spokesmen at China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) in Jamaica confirmed the postponement of the cruise-ship berthing project in George Town and Spotts, and the pier at the Cayman Turtle farm, but suggested the company was looking at a proposal to build docks in Red Bay. Spokesman Bindley Sangster said Mr Bush had not visited the company during his two-day trip to Kingston this week, saying only “I can’t say more than the press release” in regard to the four-month postponement of a final construction agreement. Spokeswoman Jennifer Ormond said, however, that the delay had been discussed for some time already, but “they just haven’t come to a decision. We are looking at the idea that Red Bay may be better,” she said, referring to a design by local sea captains for a cruise, yacht and cargo berth on an artificial island in South Sound’s Red Bay. In West Bay, Alice Mae Coe, head of Concerned Citizens, welcomed the

delay to the Dart pact, but reserved judgement: “So the UK has pulled the bridle in that as well?” she asked, alluding to Monday’s CHEC postponement in the face of London’s Framework for Fiscal Responsibility demand for better financial management. “Maybe common sense is prevailing?” She said the group’s drive against the closure of the seafront section of the West Bay Road continued to gain momentum, but declined to enumerate the signatures on an anti-closure petition, launched in early September. Informal soundings indicate nearly 4,000, however, with a final drive scheduled today. On 1 December, Ms Coe said, “We will meet from 5pm to 8pm at West Bay’s John Cumber hall, George Town’s Town Hall, the Bodden Town Civic Centre and the South Sound Community Centre to encourage people who may not have had the chance to sign, to come out and help.” The petitions will be bound and

presented on 12 December to Governor Duncan Taylor in a 4pm ceremony on the steps of the Government Administration Building. She acknowledged the possibility that Mr Taylor could pass copies to London’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Premier McKeeva Bush, but the petition “was addressed personally to His Excellency in his capacity as the representative of the Queen. He has the power.” She had spoken to members of the Keep Bodden Dump Free Coalition, she said, offering her support and suggesting that the landfill could be remediated on its current site. On Tuesday, the coalition called the Dart delay “encouraging” while lamenting the lack of consultation on the landfill relocation and hoping for a government reconsideration. “The coalition,” it said, “is hoping that the delay reflects a rethinking process within the government, which should “consider the interests of Bodden Towners over those of Dart.” The group had worked to inform the district “of the threat such a new dump represents to the integrity of the district, to an already overtaxed infrastructure, and to the central wetlands”, pointing out the dump’s distance from George Town and the 250 daily truck trips,” attendant traffic, noise, pollution and risk of accidents.” The odour, it says, “would likely be carried far afield by the winds from the east.”

Flying squirrel invades New Jersey emergency room RAHWAY, N.J. (AP) — Firefighters were needed stat after a flying squirrel went nuts in a New Jersey hospital’s emergency room. The squirrel kept launching itself from an 8-foot-high wall-mounted lamp into a glass wall after becoming trapped in a trauma room at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Rahway Tuesday night. Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ted Padavano told The Star-Ledger of Newark (http://bit.ly/vxBiL0 ) it would climb up on a light and would jump off and glide. A pair of firefighters threw a blanket over the squirrel and released it into a wooded area outside the hospital. Padavano believes there may be a nest in the building because it’s the second time in two weeks that a flying squirrel got in the ER.
Zebras get loose from Va. zoo, roam neighborhood LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — Two zebras from a zoo in a Washington, D.C., suburb escaped and briefly wandered through a residential neighborhood before being captured. No one was injured. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office says it received calls Monday afternoon from residents of the Leesburgarea neighborhood reporting zebras on the loose. Sheriff’s deputies worked to keep the animals safe from traffic until control officers could safely capture them using tranquilizers. The owner of the Leesburg Animal Park says the zebras got loose when two workers not affiliated with the park accidentally left a gate open. This is the second time animals have escaped from the petting zoo. Last year, a serval — a type of African cat — escaped and was hit by a car.

More than 200 arrested in Occupy LA raid LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a massive show of force, 1,400 police officers, some in riot gear stormed the Occupy Los Angeles camp early Wednesday, driving protesters from the park and arresting more than 200 who defied orders to leave. Similar raids in Philadelphia led to 50 arrests, but the scene in both cities was relatively peaceful. Police in Los Angeles and Philadelphia moved in on Occupy Wall Street encampments under darkness in an effort to clear out some of the longest-lasting protest sites since crackdowns ended similar
occupations across the country. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck praised the officers and the protesters for their restraint and the peaceful way the eviction was carried out. Officers flooded down the steps of City Hall just after midnight and started dismantling the two-monthold camp two days after a deadline passed for campers to leave the park. Officers in helmets and wielding batons and guns with rubber bullets converged on the park from all directions with military precision and began making arrests after several
orders were given to leave. There were no injuries and no drugs or weapons were found during a search of the emptied camp which was strewn with garbage after the raid.
Border staff, teachers join one day UK strike LONDON (AP) — Airline passengers arriving in Britain escaped chaos early yesterday despite dire predictions of long waits, as border staff joined teachers, hospital workers and weather forecasters in the country’s largest strike in decades. The one-day strike has been called in protest at the government’s plan to make public sector pensions less generous in the years ahead. The pension reforms are part of a package of austerity measures designed to get a grip on the country’s high borrowing levels. London’s Heathrow Airport and scores of airlines had warned that
international travelers could be held in lines for up to 12 hours at immigration halls as a result of staff shortages. But airport managers said flights arriving early Wednesday from the United States, Asia and Europe were largely unaffected, in part because of contingency plans which saw bureaucrats drafted in to staff border desks. “Immigration queues are currently at normal levels,” Heathrow’s operator BAA said in a statement. “However, there still remains a possibility of delays for arriving passengers later in the day.” Labor unions said as many as
2 million public sector staff were expected to join the strike, called to oppose government demands that they work longer before receiving a public pension and contribute more money each month.

The estimated 3-year-old whale was rescued in shallow waters off the Netherlands in 2010. The Dutch government permit that originally approved her capture said a Dutch dolphinarium could hold her and restore her health so she could be released. But after the dolphinarium assembled a team of experts for advice, it was found she had little chance of survival in the wild unless her natal pod, or family, could be identified. Authorities then decided it should be transferred to Loro Parque, which already has several orcas.

Dutch killer whale Morgan finds new home in Spain MADRID (AP) — A young killer whale at the centre of a legal battle waged by Dutch conservationists has arrived at its new home on the Canary Islands, a spokeswoman for a Spanish zoo said Wednesday. The 1,400-kilogram (3,085-pound) female orca named Morgan arrived at Loro Parque on the island of Tenerife late Tuesday after being flown from the Netherlands, Patricia del Ponte said. Photographs issued showed the whale being lowered by crane in a cloth hammock into a pool tank at the park.

Opposing experts for the “Free Morgan” group said the dolphinarium was guided by financial interests, rather than concern for the animal’s well-being, and proposed a plan for reintroducing her to the wild.

OPINIONS
The Editor speaks
When is bad press really bad? Colin Wilson
I have read a lot of bad press concerning the Cayman colin.wilson@ieyenews.com Islands. I have read many a blog painting a terrible picture of these Islands. However, nothing has made me angrier than Steven Knipp’s piece of garbage he wrote for the new Highbrow Magazine. See Georgina Wilcox’s article on the subject yesterday (30). His piece “The Story of the Rise and Fall of the Cayman Islands” is the most biased piece of damaging nonsense I have read. An equally upset friend sent this unwelcome piece of bilge to me and the article even has a quotation at the top of the article from Walter B. Wriston - “Capital goes where it is welcomed. And stays where it is well treated.” I have a similar quotation especially for Mr. Knipp’s article – “Garbage goes where it is welcomed. And [this article] stays where it will rot.” In the days of newsprint I wouldn’t even be bothering writing this editorial let alone one of my journalists writing an article on it. Unfortunately the Internet news services outnumber the printed ones. Highbrow Magazine is an online news media house and it is open to everyone who has a connection to the Internet. If you subscribe to Google Alerts all sorts of key words you have chosen to have alerted, like ‘Cayman,’ will pop up on you screen with all articles containing that key word or words. ‘Finance’, and ‘banking’, will alert millions of people worldwide. It doesn’t take much more finance to open a ‘live’ website (as opposed to a pdf one) and the Google spider will walk all over it discovering keywords. Highbrow means ‘a person of superior intellectual interests and tastes.’ Another definition is ‘a person who possesses or has pretensions to superior learning or culture.’ Culture in turn has been defined as ‘the disinterested endeavour after man’s perfection.’ Perhaps M/s Tara Taghizadeh, the founding editor and publisher of Highbrow Magazine, should change the name to Lowbrow (or similar - there already is one of that name) to accommodate such an article written by Mr. Knipp. There is a section on her website devoted to ‘Fiction’ so maybe she can file it there!
iLocal
I am not going to repeat M/s Wilcox’s criticism of the piece except to compare it to the blogs I complain about, except this is worse. The biased article even gives the appearance there was something more sinister in the murder of “a female rights activist.” And then there is this classic: “the islands reputation getting knocked yet again” because the owners of the “negligently maintained oil rig (Deepwater Horizon) that caused the ‘worst environmental disaster in history’ had previously been a Cayman client.” One can only laugh out loud at that gem! I can only surmise Steven Knipp’s time spent at another media house was not a happy one to produce such bad press for these Islands. More disappointing is that for a journalist of 25 years experience he should write it so badly. More ‘nonsense’ from the RCIPS Not withstanding all the additional ‘Christmas Cracker ‘novelties’ the RCIPS are instigating in their ‘enjoy the festive season, but be safe’ campaign that I can concur with, we have this added piece of nonsense. Superintendent for District Operations, Adrian Seales, has said, “we are particularly addressing women, asking men not to invade their personal space, not to walk close behind them or close in front.” How on earth is that going to be enforced? What is the actual ‘personal space’ distance so that I do not encroach into my female companion or wife’s area? Or is the enforcement officer going to assume my wife or companion is a stranger? As the police are asking for legislation that we are guilty before we actually commit anything and it is their opinion that counts, we males are in big trouble. If a woman is in front or behind you I suggest you cross the road very quickly and hope you won’t be knocked down by a drunken driver. Our already stretched police force will be more likely watching out for this ‘personal space’ infringement as it is being “particularly addressed.” Supt. Seales, when I read this piece of ‘nonsense’ out to my office staff all five females listening burst into laughter and the males were dumbstruck with incredulity. It is unfortunate because everything else Supt. Seales said all made perfect sense. It’s the ‘nonsense’ that is remembered.

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson
Anne Part 82
“People would discover Anne’s beauty for themselves”
The Frenchwoman was grieved to part with her pupil; she had conceived a real affection for her in the busy spot, which served her as a heart. She said goodby in the privacy of the kitchen, that Miss Vanhorn might not see the tears in her eyes; then she returned to the blue room and went through a second farewell, with a dignity appropriate to the occasion. “Good-by,” said Anne, coming back from the doorway to kiss her thin cheek a second time. Then she whispered: “I may return to you after all, mademoiselle. Do not forget me.” “The dear child!” said Jeanne-Armande, waving her handkerchief as the carriage drove away. And there was a lump in her yellow old throat, which did not disappear all day. When the two travellers arrived at Carly’s, Helen was gone. Another telegraphic dispatch had again summoned her to her frequently dying grandfather. “You are disappointed,” said Miss Vanhorn. “Yes, grandaunt.” “You will have all the more time to devote to me,” said the old woman, with her dry little laugh. Carly’s was a summer resort of an especial kind. Persons who dislike crowds, persons who seek novelty, and, above all, persons who spend their lives in carefully avoiding every thing and place which can even remotely be called popular, combine to make such nooks, and give them a brief fame—a fame which by its very nature must die as suddenly as it is born. Carly’s was originally a stage inn, or “tavern,” in the dialect of the district. But the stage ran no longer, and as the railway was several miles distant, the house had become as isolated as the old road before its door, which went literally nowhere, the bridge which had once spanned the river having fallen into ruin. Some young men belonging to those New York families designated by Tante as “Neeker- bokers” discovered Carly’s by chance, and established themselves there as a place free from new people, to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
with some shooting, and a few trout. The next summer they brought their friends, and from this beginning had swiftly grown the present state of things, namely, two hundred persons occupying the old building and hastily erected cottages, in rooms, which their city servants would have refused with scorn. The crowd of summer travellers could not find Carly’s; Carly’s was not advertised. It was not on the road to anywhere. It was a mysterious spot. The vogue of such places changes as fantastically as it is created; the people who make it take flight suddenly, and never return. If it exists at all, it falls into the hands of another class; and there is a great deal of wondering (deservedly) over what was ever found attractive in it. The nobler ocean beaches, grand mountains, and bounteous springs will
always be, must always be, popular; it is Nature’s ironical method, perhaps, of forcing the would-be exclusives to content themselves with her second best, after all. Carly’s, now at the height of its transient fame, was merely a quiet nook in the green country, with no more attractions than a hundred others; but the old piazza was paced by the little high-heeled shoes of fashionable women, the uneven floors swept by their trailing skirts. French maids and little bare-legged children sported in the old-fashioned garden, and young men made up their shooting parties in the bare office, and danced in the evening—yes, really danced, not leaving it superciliously to the boys—in the rackety bowlingalley, which, refloored, did duty as a ball-room. There was a certain woody, uncloying flavor about Carly’s (so it was asserted), which could not exist amid the gilding of Saratoga. All this Miss Vanhorn related to her niece on the day of their arrival. “I do not expect you to understand it,” she said; “but pray make no comment; ask no question. Accept everything, and then you will pass.” Aunt and niece had spent a few days in New York, en route. The old lady was eccentric about her own attire; she knew that she could afford to be eccentric. But for her niece she purchased a sufficient although simple supply of summer costumes, so that the young girl made her appearance among the others without attracting especial attention. Helen was not there; no one identified Miss Douglas as the rara avis of her fantastic narrations. And there was no surface sparkle about Anne, none of the usual girlish wish to attract attention, which makes the eyes, brighten, the color rise, and the breath quicken when entering a new circle. That old woman of the world, Katharine Vanhorn, took no step to attract notice to her niece. She knew that Anne’s beauty was of the kind that could afford to wait; people would discover it for themselves. Anne remained, therefore, quietly by her side through several days, while she, not unwilling at heart to have so fresh a listener, talked on and instructed her.

Forty-eight easy ways to lose weight
Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
“Oh no. Thanksgiving has just gone and now Christmas is coming. I’ve eaten too much and I’m overweight. What do I do?” I have said it and I expect you have, too. But don’t despair. The following are old but 48 tested ways to help you lose that weight. If you start now you might be in better shape to tackle the next feast. And then there’ll be the next and ….... 1. Eliminate one tablespoon of fat a day and you will lose 10 pounds in a year. 2. Limit alcohol consumption - each serving contains 100 to 150 calories. 3. Eat fruit at least twice a day. 4. Keep a food diary about your food choices, indicating how hungry you are each time you eat. Pay particular attention to your level of hunger when you snack. 5. Perform aerobic exercise a minimum of 30 minutes three times a week. Log this on your food diary. Aerobic means any exercise that increases your breathing and heart rate. Walking is fine! Do only what you can to begin with. If you have other health problems, consult your doctor before embarking on any strong physical exercise. 6. Gradually increase the length and frequency of your workouts. 7. Weigh yourself no more than twice a week. And do it in the morning after going to the bathroom. This ís the most accurate reading. 8 Slow down your eating speed and make meals last at least 20 minutes. Try eating with the other hand or taking a sip of water between bites. 9. Bring your lunch to work at least three times a week. 10. Cut down on carbohydrates and stick to lean white meat and fish, and you will notice vast improvements here. 11. Try two new reduced-calorie recipes a month. 12 IMPORTANT - Eat breakfast

daily. This suppresses the appetite for most of the day and provides fuel for the brain while at work or looking after the kids! You will feel better and have more energy all day if you eat a low fat cereal in the morning. 13. Don’t read or watch television whilst eating. 14. Have a sweet treat once a week. 15. Keep healthful snacks at home and at work. 16. Limit your cheese consumption to reduce fat and saturated fat. Use cheese and lunchmeat with less than 5 grams of fat per ounce. 17. Add calorie counting or fat-gram counting to your food diary for a few weeks if your weight loss is slowing down. Maybe you’re missing something. 18. Substitute herbs and spices for salt. 19. Shop for food when you are not hungry, and use a shopping list. 20. Replace ground beef with ground turkey or soy crumbles in dishes such as spaghetti. Don’t skip the protein in your meals; find a leaner substitute. 21. Eat three vegetables a day. 22. Always eat sitting down. 22. Request that your family and friends respect your efforts to lose weight and get fit. 23. Take a walk when you’re stressed
or angry. 24. Eat two dairy products a day and be aware of your calcium intake. Select low-fat or nonfat dairy products to reduce fat calories. 25. Order dressings and sauces on the side and apply them with a fork. 26. Increase your fibre intake and chose whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta products, legumes, and raw fruits and vegetables. 27. Add slow-down food to your meals and crunchy vegetables, a large glass of water, hot soup or beverages, or fresh fruit to fill you up. 28. Cook with chicken broth, nonstick cooking spray, wine or water. 29. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. 30. Shrink portion sizes of meats and starches, and pile on the vegetables. 31. Ask how the food is prepared when ordering in a restaurant. 32. Choose low-fat frozen yogurt or frozen juice bars instead of ice cream. Be careful of the portion size - these foods still have calories! 33. Select clear broth- or tomatobased soups over white soups. 34. Keep the junk foods out of sight in your home and workplace. 35. Take walking shoes or a jump rope with you when you travel to keep up with your exercise.
36. If you’re getting off track, try to pre-plan your food intake for the next three days by writing it down. 37. Buy frozen diet dinners with 10 grams of fat or less and 800 milligrams of sodium or less. 38. Avoid batter coating or breading. 39. Use two egg whites in baking instead of one whole egg. 40. Stretch during television commercials; arm circles, leg lifts, head tilts, etc. 41. Eliminate the butter on your rolls or popcorn. 42. Learn to say ìnoî gracefully when a friend or relative offers you a second helping. 43. Choose pizza with vegetable toppings rather than high-fat meats, such as sausage and pepperoni. 44. Ask for less cheese. Have you ever tried tomato pie? 45. Choose cooking techniques that keep fat to a minimum, such as baking, grilling, broiling, roasting or steaming. 46. Add more low-fat soy products to your diet for the soy protein and health benefits. 47. Forgive yourself when you slip; and make the next food choice a healthy one. 48. FINALLY – give yourself a non food reward for every five pounds you lose. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

We all make mistakes “An apology makes us a better person”
Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
We all make mistakes. Howsoever intelligent we may be, or wealthy, or experienced, because we are human. Only God doesn’t make any mistakes. Some of our mistakes hurt our interest. They don’t hurt anyone else. But sometimes, we do few things knowingly or unknowingly that hurt others. That is the time to apologise. Why do many of us apologise immediately, and why do many of us avoid it? Why do many of us say sorry even for an insignificant hurt, while some wait for ages to say sorry after committing gigantic blunders? It all depends upon our thinking, our upbringing, our humility, our sense of right and wrong, and our opinion
iCommunity
of other’s feelings and so on. But do we become smaller by saying sorry? Are we confessing a blunder by saying sorry? Are we hurting our ego by saying sorry? Certainly not. We become better by saying sorry. When we say sorry, we feel good and the other party feels good. “Please forgive me and let us be friends again.” An apology makes us a better person by cleansing us of our guilt. Say sorry as soon as we realise we have hurt someone even if the hurt is insignificant. If the mistake is bigger, our apology should match it to bring matters back to normal. Let us apologise at all the times, when we make a mistake and we will make someone happy again. We will get happiness in return.

Full Circle Grief Recovery Group marks four-year anniversary The Full Circle Grief Recovery Group marked its four-year anniversary in September and has helped scores of local residents deal with the loss of loved ones. Launched in mid-2007 by the Our Angels Foundation and Cayman HospiceCare, Full Circle was the first group of its kind in the Cayman Islands to bring people together to discuss their emotions and various stages of grief. Participation in the weekly group meetings held at the Conch Shell House is kept confidential and because it is facilitated by a professional counselor, the group has reached a broad section of the community. Those attending the grief recovery group include people who have lost children, wives, brothers, sisters, partners and parents, explains local counselor and the group’s facilitator, Terry Delaney. “There are different stages of grief, which can range from anger to loneliness to confusion and on occasion family members can’t understand what they and their family are going through,” Mr.
16
Delaney said. “The real benefit of this group is that it gives people a chance to go to a safe setting where there is no judgment or criticism.” The concept of a professionally led Recovery Group evolved from the original “Our Angels” peer support group which began 11 years ago. The Full Circle Recovery Group officially began as a joint venture of the Our Angels Foundation and Cayman HospiceCare. These two outstanding organizations shared responsibility for the operations of the grief recovery group and worked diligently to build the program into the viable and successful service. A little over a year ago, HospiceCare took over full responsibility for the administration and continuation of the Recovery Group. Continuing their recognition of the need for this valuable community service, KPMG, one of the original corporate sponsors of the group, which was consistent throughout all these years, recently provided additional support during the transition to HospiceCare. “It is important to all at Cayman
HospiceCare that we not only care for our patients, but also that we care for their families and friends,” said Jennifer Grant-McCarthy, HospiceCare Operations and Fundraising Manager. “With Full Circle as the bereavement arm of our charity, we are better equipped to help people deal with the emotions of losses both experienced as well as yet to come. She added, “Our hope is that this helps in relieving some of the feelings of isolation that come with grief and loss.” Full Circle is a professionally led group at 6 pm every Wednesday evening at the Conch Shell House, located across the street from CUC on North Sound Road. “Often, people attend the group meetings for weeks or just on occasion as they feel they need to attend,” explained Mr. Delaney. “There is no obligation attached to attending the group. The service continues to be provided without any fee due to the ongoing support of HospiceCare and their generous benefactors,” said Mr. Delaney. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Myles was not miles away
“One of the men made his escape by swimming away” Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Justice Charles Quin last Tuesday (29) found Andy Myles guilty of one count of burglary when he and another man broke into the home of an elderly woman, Mrs. Delores Rollar, in Magellan Quay around midnight. Jewellery, including a gold pendant was stolen from Mrs. Rollar along with cash and other valuables. Myles and the other man (who was never caught) and wearing masks, woke up the victim making her open her safe. When the alarm immediately sounded the two men fled. The RCIPS were able to respond immediately to the 911 call as an unmarked police patrol car was fortunately in the area. They spotted two men walking along the road nearby wearing dark coloured clothing with hoods and their faces

covered. One of the officers got out of the car and shouted, “Stop! Police!” and as he did the suspects took off. They jumped into a canal and both disobeyed a police order to ‘get out of the water.’ One of the men made his escape by swimming away but the other man came back to the bank and was helped out of the water by one of the policemen. The police officer recognised the suspect as Andy Myles who, although he admitted to the court that it was indeed him the police had helped out of the water, he had not committed the burglary. Myles says that he ran away from the police when they shouted out as earlier that evening he had been attacked by several men in West Bay and he was afraid it was them as the police did not identify themselves. Myles said he had “no clue about any burglary” and “wouldn’t do it to a lady like that.” He claimed not to
have jumped into the canal but to have fallen in when he tried to get on a boat to avoid the men who were chasing him. He said however when he realised it was the police he came up from the water, “nice and smooth”. However, with some of the stolen property and items of clothing nearby, containing Myles’ DNA as well as his close proximity to the burgled home; the fact that he had been seen with the second man by the police before he attempted to escape, all convinced Judge Quinn to conclude Myles was not being truthful. In summing up, Justice Quin said, “When I consider all the evidence as well as the combination of circumstances I am satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of burglary with another person who has still not been apprehended and is not before this Court.”

A necessity now in Cayman? Georgina Wilcox
georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Everyday the news from the USA tells of violence, murder and sex offenders on the prowl. The scary thing is, it’s now happening here in Cayman. You usually never know who these people might be until it’s too late. How many times have you seen an interview of someone describing an accused criminal as the nicest person you could ever know? With the popularity of Internet dating, the threat of sex offenders seems to increase daily. It is estimated that the number of Americans using online dating services is in the tens of millions. Sex offenders have easy access to millions of potential victims. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
Don’t think it won’t or isn’t happening here. Violence is on the rise, even in the workplace. Gang members here in Cayman have jobs. A criminal background check on someone is common place in the USA. Because of the speed and convenience of the Internet, obtaining a criminal background check on virtually anyone
there couldn’t be any easier. Whether someone has an unpaid parking ticket, or has been convicted of a felony, these public records are all available to anyone. It is difficult however, to do a background check on anyone here. A criminal background check can and should be used in any situation where safety is an issue. It is extremely difficult for anyone to know you are investigating them so you can conduct one in complete anonymity. When our safety is in question, a criminal background check is something we should all have access to. This is not an island time forgot anymore. We have had our wake up calls. Do you really know the background of the person you work with or live next door to?

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day Dr. Brandi Propas info@ieyenews.com
Your mother was right: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The problem is, however, most adults aren’t heeding their mother’s advice. In fact, 35% of American adults don’t consume breakfast on a regular basis. Not American? Statistics out of the United Kingdom show that up to 57% of adults with children don’t eat breakfast regularly. Canadians, you aren’t off the hook either. A 2006 study shows 40% of Canadians skip breakfast at least once per week and 15% don’t eat breakfast at all. Not American, British or Canadian? You’re still not off the hook. These trends apply here in Cayman: take a look around your office, ask your friends, evaluate your own eating habits and you’ll find there aren’t too many regular breakfast eaters. Why is breakfast so important and why all the concern? A study by the American Heart Association showed that people who ate a regular well-balanced breakfast had half the chance of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Breakfast also has a direct effect on weight management. In fact, people who skip breakfast regularly are four times more likely to be obese compared to people who eat breakfast regularly according to research published by the American Journal of Epidemiology. Breakfast helps to regulate appetite Easy Breakfast Ideas • Cereal with milk and berries • Yogurt with granola and fruit • Egg on whole grain toast with an orange • Oatmeal with berries and a glass of milk • Toasted frozen waffles with yogurt and fruit • Whole grain toast with peanut butter and banana • Cereal bar with a banana and glass of milk • Bran muffin, orange juice and a slice of cheese A Kid-Friendly Recipe Idea • Potato and Pea Frittata

and gives your metabolism that energy boost it needs after not eating for a long period of time, hence the name “breaking the fast”. People who skip breakfast also tend to overeat later in the day on foods high in calories and fat and low in nutritional value and are less likely to meet their daily nutrient requirements. Breakfast eaters also tend to meet their daily fibre requirements more so than non-breakfast eaters. Typical breakfast foods, such as whole grain cereals and oatmeal, are high in fibre. The average adult consumes 15 grams of fibre per day, well below the recommended 25 to 35 grams per day. Some cereals have as much as 13 grams of fibre per one serving so breakfast is a great opportunity to get in a large proportion of your daily fibre requirements. High fibre breakfast foods also include whole grain bread, peanut butter and fruit. These are also low in saturated fat and heart healthy. Other common breakfast foods such as milk and yogurt are also high in essential vitamins and minerals. Most concerning is the impact skipping breakfast can have on children. As we know, children model their behavior on that of their parents’. Not surprising, there has been an increase in the amount of children skipping breakfast. One study showed that 45% of grade 9 students do not eat breakfast regularly. There is
• A frittata is an Italian style omelet that is eaten warm or cold. Your child can help you prepare it by washing vegetables, mixing ingredients, or scooping the mixture into the muffin cups. Ingredients • 2 medium potatoes, cooked and cooled • 1 cup (250 mL) frozen green peas, thawed • 8 eggs, beaten • 1/4 cup (50 mL) Parmesan cheese pinch pepper • 1/4 cup (50 mL) red pepper, diced Makes 8 servings
clear evidence to show that a child’s academic performance suffers when they go to school on an empty stomach. Specifically skipping breakfast interferes with cognition and learning. One study also showed that breakfast eaters had greater attention and episodic memory. Alertness and contentment were also significantly increased in the group of children that ate breakfast compared to those that did not. It is therefore extremely important that if you are a parent to young children that you eat breakfast which will encourage them to eat it as well. We are all pressed for time but try at least a few times each week to sit down as a family and eat breakfast together. Even if this is only on weekends it will still have a big impact on your children. If you find that you don’t have time for breakfast most days, keep in mind that there are quick and healthy “on the go” breakfast options. Some quick breakfast ideas that you can take with you to work include high fibre breakfast bars, instant oatmeal, yogurt or whole grain toast with a slice of cheese. There really aren’t any excuses for not including breakfast on a daily basis. So, break the current trend and listen to the message of past generations: breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Lightly grease a muffin tin. 2. Dice the potatoes and mix with the peas in a bowl. Place 2 spoonfuls of the potato and pea mixture in each muffin cup. 3. Beat together the egg, cheese and pepper in a bowl. 4. Pour the egg mixture into muffin cups filling each one almost to the top. Sprinkle with 3 to 4 pieces of red pepper. 5. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy and golden. To serve, remove each frittata from the muffin cups. (Adapted from: Cooking in the Community, Toronto Public Health, 2004)

Kelly dreaming of Wembley after Chelsea goal
Martin Kelly is mobbed by his Liverpool team mates after scoring
Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com
MARTIN KELLY revealed his delight at scoring his first goal for Liverpool FC and then set his sights on realising his Wembley dream after last night’s 2-0 victory over Chelsea. FC booked their place in the semifinals of the Carling Cup courtesy of second-half strikes from Maxi Rodriguez and Kelly. However, Liverpool’s joy was tempered by concerns about Lucas Leiva, who left Stamford Bridge on crutches after injuring his left knee. The Brazilian is expected to have a scan today. Academy graduate Kelly ended his long wait to score for his boyhood club when the right-back headed home Craig Bellamy’s free-kick on his 35th appearance. “I’m made up with the goal and we’re all happy with the team performance,” said Kelly, who won a bet with team-mate Jay Spearing about who would be first to net a senior goal. “It was a great cross from Craig and I managed to get a free header. You’ve got to take them. It’s been a long time coming. “We were attacking the end with all the away supporters and it was to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
brilliant seeing all their emotions as they celebrated. It’s fantastic to get a goal for such a big club. “We’ve come here twice now and got two victories and we’re all over the moon with that. “We’re looking forward to the semi-finals and hopefully getting to the final at Wembley. If you ask any young lad, they dream of one day playing at Wembley and I’m the same. “I can’t wait for the next round and hopefully I’ll be a part of that. Kelly believes Liverpool’s triumph – their second at Stamford Bridge in nine days – underlined the depth of talent in Kenny Dalglish’s squad. The manager made seven changes for the Reds’ second game in 48 hours following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City. “It’s good for us to have such a strong squad and you could see the benefits of that tonight,” Kelly added. “We were all playing together as a team for Kenny and for one another. That showed tonight. “There was one side out there playing as a team and the other was playing like individuals. “That’s why we came out on top and we definitely deserved the win.” Liverpool now have a two-
legged semi-final to look forward to in January and before then Kelly is hoping to force his way into Dalglish’s team for Premier League games. They face either Manchester City or Cardiff – who both progressed to the semi-final with wins on Tuesday – or the winners of the Manchester United/Crystal Palace clash.

Storm beats Iguanas 35 - 25
DHL Storm (in yellow and black) played the John Doak Architecture Iguanas DHL Storm beat John Doak Architecture Iguanas 35 to 25 points in the first round of the Alex Alexander Memorial League Trophy on Saturday at the South Sound rugby pitch. It was a very tense and exciting match, and while Vanassio Tokotokovanua and Keswick Wright found no joy against a dogged performance by the Iguana backline, it was the Iguana forwards who faltered at the starting blocks, allowing a cascade of points for the Storm.
Claudio Sarfati found his way to the Iguana try line twice, closely followed by James Buckley as the Storm looked to run away with the game. But the Iguanas, not ready to lie down, put on a comeback chase. But it wasn’t enough, and the Storm survived a nervy second half to win the opening game over the Iguanas by 10 points. In the second match of the opening round Krys Global Buccaneers beat the Queensgate Pigs Trotters, 33 to 12. Krys Global Buccaneers faced a Queensgate
Pigs Trotters side looking to build on the previous week’s strong opening performance against the DHL Storm, but again the inability to finish long phases of forward play let down the “men in red,” leading to the Buccaneers’ 21 point victory. Cayman rugby fans should have much to look forward to when the Buccaneers take on the Cayman Storm in the second round of the Alex Alexander Memorial League Trophy which will take place this weekend.

Red Sox choose Valentine as manager BOSTON (AP) — When Terry Francona left the Boston Red Sox, he said they needed “a new voice” in the manager’s office. They’ve certainly chosen a brash one. Two months after a record collapse kept them out of the playoffs, the Red Sox picked Bobby Valentine to be their next manager. The sides were working to complete a contract, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. Several media outlets in Boston, citing anonymous sources, reported earlier in the evening that Valentine would be the team’s new manager. An announcement could come by Thursday. “He’s got it. I just spoke to him a little while ago,” Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda, who managed Valentine in the minors with the Los
Angeles Dodgers, said in a telephone interview with the AP. Blunt, cocky and sometimes controversial, Valentine is quite a departure from Francona, a player’s manager who rarely went public with criticism of players or internal team problems. As manager of the New York Mets from 1996-2002, Valentine clashed with general manager Steve Phillips. In April 2000, he criticized the team’s front office and some players, including Bobby Bonilla and Rickey Henderson, while speaking to students at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. And famously, after being ejected from a game in 1999, he returned to the dugout wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses. Major League Baseball fined him $5,000 and suspended him for three games. More recently, the 61-year-old Valentine has been working as an analyst for ESPN, where he
has commented on several Red Sox players, saying pitcher Josh Beckett should work faster and left fielder Carl Crawford should close his stance. Valentine’s style can be abrasive, sure, but few question his baseball acumen. He guided the Mets to consecutive playoff appearances, culminating in a trip to the 2000 World Series, where they lost to the New York Yankees. He went to Japan and managed the Chiba Lotte Marines to a championship in 2005. “He’s matured, and I think managing in Japan helped him a great deal,” Lasorda said. “Becoming the manager of the Red Sox, that’s a privilege and an honor, and I’m sure he’s going to do a great job.” Valentine also managed the Texas Rangers from 1985-92. His last big league managerial job was with the Mets, and he managed in Japan from 2004-09. He was in Japan this week and said he was about to take off on a

flight when he sent the AP a text message at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday saying he had no comment on “the Red Sox situation.” The manager’s job has been vacant since Francona parted ways with the Red Sox on Sept. 30, saying he wasn’t getting through to the players. The team didn’t pick up his option for 2012. That ended an eight-year run in which Francona led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. They led the AL East for much of last summer but went 7-20 in September, wasting a nine-game lead in the wild-card race and finishing out of the playoffs for the second straight year, one game behind Tampa Bay. That was followed by reports of starting pitchers drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games in which they weren’t scheduled to pitch instead of staying on the bench to support their teammates. “I trusted them explicitly and things weren’t getting done the way I wanted it in the end,” Francona said at the news conference where his departure was announced, “and I was frustrated because of that. If that’s letting me down, maybe it is.” With a fresh, forceful voice at the helm, maybe the players will become better listeners. Valentine interviewed on Nov. 21 with general manager Ben Cherington and other members of Red Sox management.
