The Royal Cayman Islands Police service has been given one million dollars to help fight crime.

The cash will be spent on extra officers, body armour and improving the facilities to interview suspects.

The money, from central government coffers, comes as detectives investigate a double car jacking in West Bay on Thursday.

In two separate incidents, a woman was robbed at gunpoint in the carpark of Dolphin Discovery and a man stabbed for his vehicle near the Ed Bush Stadium.

Moon Man takes one giant leap to GT Primary Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

George Town Primary School (GTPS) opened its doors yet again for another fun filled assembly.

Astronaut Charles Duke, of the Apollo 16 voyage, touched down at the school to talk to years 4-6 about his experience of walking on the moon and to show them video footage of the event.

Mr. Duke was a lunar module pilot for Apollo 16 in 1972; he became the tenth and youngest of only twelve people who have walked on the Moon.

Mr. Duke said, “I had fun on the moon but it was dangerous because, if the suit breaks then there’s no oxygen to breathe and you will be killed.”

The footage showed his landing and views of different experiments the crew carried out while on their mission.

“Here I was drilling a hole in the moon for an experiment, I had to go 10 feet down and drill 3 different holes.

Charles explained the landscape of the moon and what it was like to fall down.

“Unfortunately I fell down a couple of times and it’s hard to get back up. I had to push 3 times as hard to get back on my feet,” he said. “And there are rocks almost the size of this assembly room.”

There was also an instance on the moon when Charles made efforts to see how high he could jump. He fell backwards which is not something that he should have done with dangers

of the suit breaking and potentially killing himself.

Mr. Duke told the children that the main lesson of this is “Never do something you are not supposed to do.”

The crew stayed on the moon for 72 hours on a mission that took a total of 11 days.

On their return to earth they jumped out of the space ship with a parachute and landed in the Pacific Ocean just

south of Hawaii.

10-year-old Isaiah Reynolds said, “I can’t believe I got to meet a real astronaut that went on the moon!”

Ms. Marie Martin, Principal of GTPS said, “We are very excited that Mr. Charlie Duke was able to visit our students.

“They read about it but today they were able to experience the stories first hand. “This gives the children a memory to last a lifetime.”

Ben & Jerry’s reveals new flavor: Schweddy Balls MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Ben & Jerry’s has Schweddy Balls.

Would you like a taste?

Chill out, it’s only the name of their new flavor.

Schweddy Balls ice cream is an homage to a 13-yearold “Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Alec Baldwin as bakery owner Pete Schweddy, whose unique holiday offerings included a delicacy called Schweddy balls.

The company’s not worried about offending people with the name, said spokesman Sean Greenwood.

“We’re the caring company,” Greenwood said Thursday. “We never want to do anything that is upsetting for people. We think it’s congruent with our values, in terms of having fun.

One of our principles is ‘If it’s not fun, why do it?’”

Other flavours with edgy names — like Karamel Sutra and Half Baked — were irreverent doubleentendres, too, he said.

True. But Schweddy Balls?

The new flavour, which was unveiled Wednesday and is being offered in a “limited batch,” consists of vanilla ice cream, a hint of rum, fudgecovered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls. It’s being sold in Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops and supermarkets.

The “SNL” skit, which first aired Dec. 12, 1998, starred Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer as hosts of “Delicious Dish,” a National Public Radio programme interviewing Baldwin’s Pete Schweddy character.

Health spending “out of control”

(left to right) Dr Steve Tomlinson of Chrissie Tomlinson Hospital, Wil Pineau of the Chamber of Commerce, Jennifer Ahearn, Ministry of Health, Mark Scotland, Minister of Health, Andria Dilbert, Cayman Islands Health Services, Dr Sidney Ebanks, President of Medical and Dental Society

Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com

Health Minister Hon. Mark Scotland has revealed civil servants medical bills are “ballooning out of control”.

And Mr Scotland says it’s high time the current scheme is scrapped and a cheaper alternative found.

It could mean that new starters with the Government may have to take up a lesser health plan instead of the current unlimited scheme to save money.

Speaking at the National Health Care Conference 2020, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Minister for Health and Environment, Youth and Sports, Honourable Mark Scotland, pointed to health care costs, which he says is a serious issue.

But James Watler, President of the Civil Service Association, said if government employees are expected to pay towards their health care they must be given a pay rise.

The Cayman Islands National Insurance Company, CINICO, provides health insurance coverage for civil servants.

Under the current health care system, CINICO, provides unlimited benefits to civil servants, under its Unlimited Benefit Plan for which all of the payment comes from the Government’s pocket.

The Health Minister said: “The biggest issue with health care is the Unlimited Benefit Plan.

“We have to find a way to revise the plan or have a new plan.”

The Minister explained that any attempt by the Government to alter or interfere with the already existing contractual obligations of CINICO to its civil servants could amount to a breach, and is therefore not an option. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

He said: “It is difficult to reduce the current benefits offered under the plan, as it could create legal issues.

“That is a plan called the “open ended” plan, which is in addition to the Government taking care of the indigent.

“Private sector employees, [NonGovernmental], are required to pay half of the cost of their insurance cost, while the civil servants pay zero.”

A possible solution, which the Minister discussed, was a reduction in the coverage provided for future civil servants.

“The new civil servants coming in could see a reduced plan of benefit.” said Mr. Scotland.

Mr. Scotland added that the cost of maintaining the current system of health care in the Cayman Islands is not sustainable.

The Minister also said that the cost of providing health care is

“ballooning out of control’ as a result of other practices which can be avoided through proactive measures.

“People tend not to have a family physician and just turn up at the hospital.

“Sometimes people just call the hospital and see a specialist and that kind of service can cost a lot more.” said the Minister.

But Mr Watler said: “I need to look at the pros and cons before I can make a comment.

“There are persons who believe that civil servants are making fantastic salaries but that is a myth.

“A lot are not making salaries commensurate with their experience and qualifications.

“If the new civil servants are expected to pay a percentage of their health coverage then their salaries must be equivalent to those of similar positions in the private sector.”

Twitter expanding the number of ads shown to users SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — If you’re on Twitter, expect to see more ads flowing through your stream of tweets in the next few months.

The ads will show up even if the promotion is from a company that a person hasn’t chosen to follow. Until now, Twitter had only displayed ads that users were tracking.

As has been the case since Twitter began showing ads last year, the promotions must comply with the online messaging service’s 140-character limit.

The ad expansion marks a major step in Twitter’s attempt to make more money from its more than 100 million active users. Twitter says the audience is now sending about 230 million tweets a day.

Google buys restaurant review service Zagat SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google has swallowed restaurant review service Zagat to ramp up its efforts to connect people with local businesses.

The founders, husband and wife team Nina and Tim Zagat, said they will remain co-chairs of the 32-year-old company and will use Google’s resources and expertise to expand. Zagat currently offers reviews and ratings on restaurants in more than 100 cities around the world, based largely on surveys of diners.

Google plans to integrate New York-based Zagat with its search and mapping products, where users are already invited to write reviews of businesses and services.

In a blog post Thursday announcing the purchase, Marissa Mayer, Google’s vice president of local, maps and location services, said Zagat “will be a cornerstone of our local offering.”

Tropical Storm (TS) Maria expected to intensify while TS Nate remains stationary for now Jessica Willis jessica.willis@ieyenews.com

On Friday (9) morning satellite imagery indicated that convection is increasing with Tropical Storm Maria and it is expected that Maria will continue to strengthen slowly as it tracks across the northeastern Caribbean on Saturday and Saturday night. Once Maria tracks to the north of Puerto Rico on Sunday, we could see a somewhat quicker rate of intensification and Maria should become a hurricane by early this week.

Maria was tracking west-northwest at a forward speed of 18 to 19 mph on Friday. Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect for most of the islands in the northeastern Caribbean (Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands & Puerto Rico) and tropical storm conditions are expected through Saturday across the northeastern Caribbean.

Rob Lightbown writes, “I think Maria will end up tracking further west than the track models suggest perhaps turning north at around 74 West Longitude. A trough of low pressure is forecast to push off of the US East Coast next week and this should be able to deflect Maria north and northeast away from the US East Coast.”

Forecasters seem to have come to

a conclusion as to the forecasted path of Tropical Storm Nate. They believe that Nate will track west and westsouthwestward into eastern Mexico on Sunday and Monday. Satellite imagery Friday morning showed that the storm had weakened overnight with convection diminishing. Nate continues to remain stationary in its movement, however it is the belief of forecasters that it will intensify. Rob writes, “The track and global model guidance are in very good agreement that Nate will make very little northward progress and a narrow ridge of high pressure to the north of Nate will turn the storm westward over the next couple of days and Nate should come ashore near or just south of Tuxpan, Mexico on Sunday night.

Dolphin employee car jacked Kevin Creary

Carlos Moreno, General Manager of Dolphin Discovery

“People come here to purchase souvenirs sometimes and they say that they cannot make some purchases because they do not have their credit cards, I say why, and they say there were advised not to take any along with them.”

The robbery occurred on Thursday at 6: 20 pm while the victim, a 30-year-old female employee was on her way to her car after work.

Two men, one armed with a gun, wearing full black, pounced upon her,

robbing her of her car, purse, a laptop computer, and an ipod.

The men escaped in the employee’s grey Toyota Marina motorcar.

Meanwhile around an hour later another unrelated car-jacking happened nearby at the Ed Bush stadium.

During this attack a 30 year old man was stabbed by thieves who stole his rental car.

The car was later found abandoned and police have arrested a 40-year-old man in connection with the incident.

Cruise ships are warning passengers not to carry credit cards on Island for fear of robberies and muggings, according to the manager of one of our top tourism attractions.

On Thursday a member of staff at Dolphin Discovery was mugged and carjacked in broad daylight after leaving the facility.

Now the manager of the centre has said the increase in crime is bound to have an effect on tourism.

Carlos Moreno said: “When I brought my employee here the first thing I told her is that Cayman Islands is a safe place.

“She has only been here for one month and she has been robbed, that is not good for the country.

“It is a shame. People used to say, I prefer to go to the Cayman Islands rather than to go to Mexico.

“I am very concerned that we (Caymanians) seem to be going down the same path.

“I am pretty sure that the tourists are hearing about these incidents.

“I was told that the cruise ships caution their passengers, when they are about to disembark in Jamaica, that they should not carry any jewellery or credit cards.

“Now I have been made to understand that cruise ship passengers are also being advised not to wear jewellery or carry credit cards when they are visiting the Cayman islands.

OPINIONS

The Editor speaks More cash for policing

I think the whole country will welcome the news that colin.wilson@ieyenews.com the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) will be receiving a million dollars to pay for extra officers and vital equipment including bulletproof vests and improving equipment to interview suspects. The ‘improving equipment to interview suspects’, however, doesn’t thrill me quite as much. It is like the vast sum of money being used for a statistics computer and software. All these do not help the present situation one jot. It is prevention, safety of the general public and the apprehension and conviction of criminals we really want. Perhaps the Commissioner can elaborate more on this interviewing equipment and how it is going to make such a big help.

There is much need for a visible presence of police officers on the street. The general public, merchants and visitors need to feel safe. The only police presence we see frequently is the roadblocks for traffic violations. In this present climate that is not going to promote public goodwill towards the police. We need assurances from the Police Commissioner, David Baines, that he has a plan of action and it includes us. Yes, Mr. Baines, you want our help but it always seems an afterthought. It is only recently that we have been privy to the CCTV videos in a timely fashion. Days after the event are not good enough. What do you want us to do? What are you going to do?

Every law-abiding citizen is very angry at what is

going on here. It seems every day someone or business is being robbed. Drive by shootings is increasing.

Cruise ship passengers are being advised not to venture out onto our streets with their credit cards and definitely not to wear their jewellery. Even though, very few cruise ship passengers have been targeted (if any), this shows how the present crime wave is being viewed abroad. With a car-jacking in the car park of Dolphin Discovery (a big tourist attraction) on North West Point, West Bay at 6:20pm on Thursday (8th), I know very well how that is going to be reported on the cruise ships.

I was hoping for a reaction to my editorial last Wednesday (7) entitled “Miami advice”, especially from the RCIPS and the Chamber of Commerce. Would it be that difficult to implement here? Isn’t it a good idea to show a police presence? If you, our readers, are in agreement with me, write to me, lobby the Commissioner, and lobby the Chamber.

Of course, if you have better ideas of how the police cash handout should be spent, tell us. iNews wants to know. These are our Islands and we are NOT going to allow a minority of human vermin to ruin them for us.

Together we CAN get rid of them. Let us execute what the fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants from ‘Dr. Who’, the Daleks screamed, “Exterminate them!”

When that has been achieved we can turn round to Mr. Baines and the UDP Government and say, “Money well spent.”

OPINION

White Paper review Statement in regards to the 1999 White Paper by the Hon. W. McKeeva Bush, OBE, JP. Presented in the Legislative Assembly on the 7 September, 2011 Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to briefly address this Honourable House on a matter that is of great importance to our Country, and to the Overseas Territories as a whole. I also welcome this opportunity to have this information placed in the public domain.

At the Overseas Territories Consultative Council (OTCC) in November 2010, the United Kingdom advised that they were in the process of reviewing the relationship with the Overseas Territories, and framing a new strategy to guide this relationship in the future.

Madam Speaker, the last full scale review of the relationship between the UK and the Overseas Territories resulted in the publication of the 1999 White Paper: Partnership for Progress and Prosperity. Since its publication many advancements have been made, including the modernisation of some of the Overseas Territories Constitutions, in our case including a Bill of Rights, establishment of institutions promoting good governance, and the granting of access to full British citizenship.

However not all of the aspirations of the 1999 White Paper have been delivered. In the sphere of ‘peace and order’ we have unfortunately experienced a rise in the level of crime throughout the Islands. In the area of ‘good government’ one shortcoming has been that audited financial records have not been delivered for the past several years.

My government has now made a huge step forward to correct this anomaly.

Madam Speaker, there is no desire on the part of the Government or the UK to change the fundamental structure of our relationship, but this does not rule out constitutional evolution or reform where it may be necessary. In a letter from Mr. Henry Bellingham, the Minister for the Overseas Territories, the following three strands were proposed in order to take the strategy forward: to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

• Strengthening the engagement and interaction between the Territories and the UK by not only the sharing of expertise, but also by pursuing partnerships between local governments, the private sector, NGOs and professional bodies in the UK and their counterparts in the Territories.

• Collaborating with Territories to strengthen public financial management, economic planning and good governance arrangements where necessary.

• Improving the quality of support from the UK. For example, strategic investments in those Territories where the needs are greatest.

In preparation for 2011 OTCC the Government is undertaking a review of the 1999 White Paper and the current relationship with the UK and is inviting views on the proposed strategy, as well as suggestions of other topics that should be addressed.

This feedback is necessary as it is the UK Minister’s intention to discuss with each territory the detailed substance of the relationship with the UK and to create opportunities for exchange of views and discussions, offer suggestions/advice and propose alternative strategies that will enhance the relationship.

Cabinet’s approval will be sought for the formation of a committee that

will spearhead the review process for our Country. This committee will consist of one representative from the Chamber of Commerce, one from the Cayman Ministers Association, one from the service clubs, one from the Civil Service Association Management Committee, one from Cayman Finance, representing the Financial Services Sector, and two representatives from the general public as well as two from the Sister Islands. Given the importance of this exercise, Government has committed to appoint a competent Secretary to ensure the business of the Committee is properly managed and recorded.

It is envisioned that the Committee will produce an interim report in 60 days from the start of the meetings of the committee, in preparation for a meeting to be held between the FCO Minister and Heads of Government from the Overseas Territories.

Honourable Members are accordingly now advised that this substantial undertaking is to commence and should consider themselves now put on notice to participate in a meaningful way in the process. For clarity, let me emphasize that it is a two-part process; the first must commence immediately, for input into the defining terms that are proposed to guide the evolution of the new strategy.

The second part is geared towards more detailed review and input into the new UK-Overseas Territories agreement. The initial timetable was that new framework was to be agreed

by June 2012. However, the UK has now suggested a radical shortening of this timetable, which would call for agreement to be reached by the spring of 2012. I am seriously concerned that this would prejudice the prospects of Territories, including ourselves, to put forward our best position, and accordingly intend to robustly challenge this new timetable.

I look forward to the support of all Honourable Members in this important matter.

Celebrating better health

The Cayman Islands will join the region in observing the annual Caribbean Wellness Day on Saturday, 10 September.

In its fourth year of observance, the theme remains Love that Body, with a sub theme of From Local to Global as countries are encouraged to showcase national and community efforts to promote healthy living and encourage residents to develop good health practices.

So-called lifestyle diseases or non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease and stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and cancer, are the leading causes of premature death in the Caribbean. A staggering two of three deaths occurring in persons younger than 70 years results from a chronic disease.

“The importance of living healthily is sadly still underrated – at great personal and national cost,” notes Minister of Health the Hon. Mark Scotland.

“Of course, we can - and should - make a difference by changing our diets, giving up bad habits such as smoking and by making exercise part of our lives. Healthy living is one of the best long-term investments one can ever make,” he adds.

The Public Health Department

12

joins the Cayman Islands Cancer Society, the Cayman Islands Heart Fund and Foster’s Food Fair to draw people’s attention to Caribbean Wellness Day and healthy living with free health screenings for non-communicable diseases (hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol).

As part of the Cancer Society’s Health Fair, screenings will be offered on Saturday, 10 September from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel. Public Health staff will also have a nutrition and cancer educational booth.

A plan to tackle non-communicable diseases in the Caribbean was set forth in the 2007 Port-of-Spain Declaration after a meeting of CARICOM heads

of state. Included in this declaration was the proclamation of Caribbean Wellness Day. The alarming growth of noncommunicable diseases, and their associated costs and negative socioeconomic impacts, has this year also attracted international concern, with the United Nations scheduled to hold a high-level meeting on preventable chronic diseases on 1920 September this year.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), this represents a major opportunity for health policy to take centre stage.

This type of meeting on health has only occurred once before when the organisation met in 2001 to discuss the AIDS epidemic.

Days of rain trigger widespread floods WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Stretches of the swollen Susquehanna River in New York and Pennsylvania were receding Friday morning after days of rainfall from what had been Tropical Storm Lee flooded communities around the Northeast, sweeping homes off their foundations and forcing nearly 100,000 people to seek higher ground.

At least 11 deaths have been blamed on Lee and its remnants.

The damage was concentrated along the Susquehanna in WilkesBarre and dozens of miles up the river in Binghamton, N.Y., as well as other communities along the river.

The National Weather Service said the Susquehanna crested above 38

feet Thursday night in Wilkes-Barre — below the top of the levee system protecting residents in northeastern Pennsylvania.

The flood waters that inundated the city of Binghamton and surrounding communities were receding Friday morning, but there was no indication yet when some of the 20,000 evacuees could expect to return to their homes.

Broome County Deputy Emergency Manager Raymond Serowik told The Associated Press that the Susquehanna was receding slowly and that authorities were just beginning to gain access to some areas to assess the damage from Thursday’s record flooding.

The mayor of Binghamton said the flooding was the worst in more than 60 years.

NYC heightens security to counter potential threat NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg rode the subway Friday morning to assure commuters that the city is fully prepared for a potential terror threat before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

“We take every single threat that is credible seriously,” Bloomberg said as he stood on the platform at the City Hall subway stop in lower Manhattan.

“We may feel that it’s more likely or less likely but you never want to say ‘well we didn’t think that was very likely’ so we didn’t do anything.”

U.S. officials said Thursday that they were chasing a credible but unconfirmed al-Qaida threat to use

a car bomb on bridges or tunnels in New York or Washington. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday that police are beefing up security at bridges and tunnels, setting up vehicle checkpoints and doing bomb sweeps of parking garages.

New York City commuters were told to expect a show of force at Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station and the Times Square subway station because of a previously planned counterterror drill.

On Friday, Bloomberg said New Yorkers should “go back to work. And leave it to the professionals.”

Bono, The Edge rock Toronto film fest with U2 doc TORONTO (AP) — U2 singer Bono, guitarist The Edge and their band mates have let their guard down for a revealing documentary about their creative development and a pivotal career shift 20 years ago.

“From the Sky Down” opened the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday night, the first time in its 36year history that the prestigious cinema showcase began with a documentary.

The film centers on the band’s renewed sense of purpose as they created the 1991 album “Achtung Baby.”

The Edge and Bono joined director Davis Guggenheim for two screenings of to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

the film, which premieres on Showtime in October.

“We’re very, very protective of our privacy, and especially, our creative process,” Bono told the crowd before the first screening. “Not because we’re that precious, which we are. But more because of that old adage, if you knew what went into the sausage, you wouldn’t eat the sausage.”

Director Guggenheim’s previous credits include the Academy Awardwinning “An Inconvenient Truth,” about Al Gore’s global-warming campaign, and “It Might Get Loud,” the guitar dream-team matchup of The Edge, Led

Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Jack White of the White Stripes.

The film blends new interviews with archival footage of the Irish rockers in their early days after forming in the mid-1970s.

Hurricane Ivan and the lessons learned Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com

When Hurricane Ivan struck the Cayman Islands on Saturday 11 September 2004, few people were able to imagine the devastation that followed.

What many people will never forget is the storm’s relentlessness 34 hours of battering from winds that reached over 200mph at their fastest, with sustained gusts of 150mph – one of the strongest hurricanes on record in the region.

It was like a nightmare that didn’t seem to end.

Everyone who lived through it has their own ‘Ivan Story.’

Christopher Webb, an officer with the Cayman Islands Fire Service, said: “I was at home on Prospect Drive when Ivan hit. I had just been helping the other firemen board up their homes.

“I had a truck I use for removals and I parked close to the back of my house for protection. My kids were scared. I said, go ahead and sleep, everything will soon be over, but they didn’t go to sleep.

When morning came I looked outside and noticed the cars were submerged. Water was coming in through the eaves, I looked out, and saw that the plywood on my neighbour’s roof kept peeling off and flying away- one piece after another.

“On Sunday I saw a young man with a garbage bag over him. He said he was going to see his family

Hurricane Ivan survivor, Christopher Webb.

at South Sound, but I said: ‘You’re not going to make it – there are too many projectiles. Go back.’

“Ivan was a very frightening experience. I’ve been through two hurricanes before, Hurricane Alan and Hurricane Gilbert in the ’80s, but they weren’t like Ivan.”

Residents of the Belford Estates in Bodden Town believe they have learned some lessons from Hurricane Ivan. 12 homes on the estate sustained serious damage to their roofs and the estates were covered in five feet of water.

One of those residents, Mr. Errington Webster, set up the Belford Estates Community Emergency Response Team (BECERT) after hearing about the idea of community response teams through the Cayman Islands Red Cross:

Team Leader of the Belford Estates Community Emergency Response Team, Errington Webster

“The experience from Ivan made us take the idea from the International Red Cross seriously and in 2006, I started my team,” Mr. Webster said.

Currently, there are 25 members in BECERT and all have a vital role to play in case of another hurricane.

“Our aim is to assist the residents in any such catastrophe that occurs that affects our community,” he said.

“If a resident has special medical needs such as having to take insulin, we will ensure they have sufficient insulin to ride the storm out and for the aftermath of the storm.”

According to Mr. Webster, the Cayman Island Hazard Management office began a programme to recognise the need for Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), based on the Belford Estates’ plan.

“We are hoping from there that communities throughout our islands will be more motivated to install these teams in the community,” Mr. Webster added.

“One thing it takes for them to form these teams in the communities is to be conscious of their surroundings, exercise solidarity and be concerned for each individual living in their community.

“I am very open to any members of the communities of the Cayman Islands to contact me for advice in forming such teams on 326 3463 or 916 7642.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

“Cancer is devastating but if you have support… it makes it much easier to cope”

“In my early years of cancer I joined the society and through this relationship I saw the worth of the organisation to others who had cancer. I have worked with the society in ensuring help for others, in particular when they had to go overseas.

The society is irreplaceable and cancer detection and support service has given others a greater chance to survive. The Cancer Society’s role is very important in giving comfort and support to cancer survivors in the Cayman Islands. People are happy to be with and around the society as it gives hope.”

Remember the day, but mostly remember the spirit

Dody Denman dody.denman@ieyenews.com

Ten years ago life changed in America.

Life changed for a country, families and individuals. Before September 11, 2001, many Americans were unaware of the state of the world. Terrorism is a fact of life in many countries. In the United States, it had been limited to few people who acted alone or with little help.

But the attacks of September 11th were vastly different. They were well orchestrated. They were well executed. They changed everything.

Yes, it is more difficult to board a flight, enter a building or sporting event, even open a checking account, but the innocence lost of this young country is forever gone.

The innocence may be lost, but the

spirit will never be. Americans will observe the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks by remembering the 2,976 individuals who lost their lives that day. Many lost were fire fighters, medical personnel, police officers and others who rushed into the flaming Twin Towers. As a result of their heroism, many were able to live another day.

Events are being hosted all over America to pay tribute to the memory of the victims, honour the heroes who rose in service in response to the terrorist attack and appreciation to the military personnel, past and present.

An underlying theme in many of these events is the call to volunteer; to give back…be it time, money or experience.

Each of us can make a difference. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Today’s subject is more serious than

Work it out with Manuela Nemes

Cayman Islands Netball Association

Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

iWoman looks into the heathy lifestyle of Manuela Nemes who will be treating iNews to a weekly column on health and fitness starting this week.

“The last place where a man can intimidate me is in a gym,” said Ms. Manuela Nemes.

Ms. Nemes, originally from Bucharest Romania, lives in Grand Cayman sharing her knowledge of fitness and exercise as a trainer at Body Sculptor.

After moving to Toronto, Canada, Manuela says she began training in 1997 and became a personal trainer in 2001.

Ms. Nemes said her career in fitness and exercise came from a passion from her part time job while she always felt that her career, at the time, didn’t suit her personality.

“I always felt that my career in finance and my engineering degree never suited me. I wanted to be a trainer because of the satisfaction of changing people’s lives in a positive way, push them to reach their dreams that seem unrealistic at times, encourage them to maintain their motivation and not to give up.

“It’s amazing to notice bodies transforming, confidence raising and people becoming happier with themselves, more energetic, getting stronger and feeling younger.”

When women are having issues with their bodies and need empowerment, Manuela says.

“Do you want to look younger, feel better and live longer? Just do it! Drop any excuses and start with a good change. It doesn’t necessarily have to be going to the gym; you can train at home or opt for an activity that you enjoy doing.

“If you don’t like it, it probably won’t last very long and you’ve wasted your money.

“Also people don’t realise how important it is to eat healthy and regularly, and how easy it is avoiding processed foods and focusing on fibre and lean nutrients.”

Fighting fit: Manuela Nemes

Manuela says she hasn’t faced discrimination and will even share the same spot as a man at the gym and men have been very supportive of her.

“Men, especially trainers who know me, have always been extremely supportive.

“I do admire somebody who has a natural, fit and proportionate body, no matter if it’s a man or a woman.”

Working for Body Sculptor Fitness Centre, Manuela offers personal training sessions, small group workouts consisting of 4-6 persons, boot camps, yoga stretch classes on the beach and water aerobics in the sea.

Manuela spoke on her qualifications and the modules involved.

“I am certified as an ACE Personal Trainer and followed several courses including, Lifestyle and Weight Management, Prenatal and Postpartum Exercise Design as

well as Strength programming for older adults.

Ms. Nemes’ quick tip to staying healthy and fit is to keep active and maintain healthy habits.

“Find all the reasons to keep active and have healthy habits. It will pay off in time no matter your age, busy schedule or physical limitations; you can always improve the quality of your life.

“Start by making gradual changes that would be easier to stick to.

“Focus on the benefits rather than the effort.

“If you have children, your lifestyle will have a huge impact on theirs and it is never too late to start a physical activity once you’ve made the first step.

“Don’t give up, maintain it. It is much easier to maintain than start back again.”

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson

Anne Part 43

“The three girls were interested in one and the same person”

Anne saved in her memory all kinds of things to tell him: about their favorite trees, about the birds that had nests in the garden that season, about the fishermen and their luck, about the unusual quantity of raspberries on the mainland, about the boys, about Tita. Something, too, about Bacon and Sir Thomas Browne, selections from whose volumes she was now reading under the direction of the chaplain. But she never put down any of her own thoughts, opinions, or feelings: her letters were curious examples of purely impersonal objective writing. Egotism, the under-current of most long letters as of most long conversations also, the telling of how this or that was due to us, affected us, was regarded by us, was prophesied, was commended, was objected to, was feared, was thoroughly understood, was held in restraint, was despised or scorned by us, and all our opinions on the subject, which, however important in itself, we present always surrounded by a large indefinite aureole of our own personality—this was entirely wanting in Anne Douglas’s letters and conversation. Perhaps if she had had a girl friend of her own age she might have exchanged with her those little confidences, speculations, and fancies which are the first steps toward independent thought, those mazy whispered discussions in which girls delight, the beginnings of poetry and romance, the beginnings, in fact, of their own personal individual consciousness and life. But she had only Rast, and that was not the same thing. Rast always took the lead; and he had so many opinions of his own that there was no time to discuss, or even inquire about, hers.

In the mean time young Pronando was growing into manhood at the rate of a year in a month. His handsome face, fine bearing, generous ways, and incessant activity both of limb and brain gave him a leader’s place among the Western students, who to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

studied well, were careless in dress and manner, spent their money, according to the Western fashion, like princes, and had a peculiar dry humor of their own, delivered with lantern-jawed solemnity.

Young Pronando’s preparation for college had been far better than that of most of his companions, owing to Dr. Gaston’s care. The boy apprehended with great rapidity— apprehended perhaps more than he comprehended: he did not take the time to comprehend. He floated lightly down the stream of college life. His comrades liked him; the young Western professors, quick, unceremonious, practical men, were constantly running against little rocks which showed a better training than their own, and were therefore shy about finding fault with him; and the old president, an Eastern man, listened furtively to his Oxford pronunciation of Greek, and sighed in spite of himself and his large salary, hating the new bare whitepainted flourishing institution over which he presided with a fresher hatred—the hatred of an exile. For there was not a tree on the college grounds: Young America always cuts down all his trees as a first step toward civilization; then, after an interregnum, when all the kings of the forest have been laid low, he sets out small saplings in whitewashed tree-boxes, and watches and tends them with fervor.

Rast learned rapidly—more things than one. The school for girls, which, singularly enough, in American towns, is always found flourishing close under the walls of a college, on the excellent and heroic principle, perhaps, of resisting temptation rather than fleeing from it, was situated here at convenient distance for a variety of strict rules on both sides, which gave interest and excitement to the day. Every morning Miss Corinna Haws and her sister girded themselves for the contest with fresh-rubbed spectacles and vigilance, and every morning the girls eluded them; that is, some of the girls, namely, Louise Ray and Kate and Fanny Meadows, cousins, rivals, and beauties of the Western river-country type, where the full life and languor of the South have fused somewhat the old inherited New England delicacy and fragile contours. These three young girls were all interested in handsome Rast in their fanciful, innocent, sentimental way. They glanced at him furtively in church on Sunday; they took walks of miles to catch a distant glimpse of him; but they would have run away like frightened fawns if he had approached nearer.

They wrote notes which they never sent, but carried in their pockets for days; they had deep secrets to tell each other about how they had heard that somebody had told somebody else that the Juniors were going to play ball that afternoon in Payne’s meadow, and that if they could only persuade Miss Miriam to go round by the hill, they could see them, and not so very far off either, only two wheat fields and the river between.

Miss Miriam was the second Miss Haws, good-tempered and— near- sighted.

That the three girls were interested in one and the same person was part of the pleasure of the affair; each would have considered it a very dreary amusement to be interested all alone.

Bluetooth Bluetooth is standardised wireless

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

The online encyclopedia Wikipedia, that has left Encyclopaedia Britannica (the ultimate reference source in my days of learning) collecting dust on the shelves, provides this concise description of Bluetooth. It is not a rotting tooth in your mouth so read on without alarm.

“Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400-2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. Created by telecoms vendor Ericsson in 1994,[1] it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronisation.

“Bluetooth is a standard wirereplacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice; see table below) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other, however a wireless path [having some characteristics of an optical system] must be viable.

“To use Bluetooth wireless technology, a device has to be able to interpret certain Bluetooth profiles, which are definitions of possible applications and specify general behaviours that Bluetooth enabled devices use to communicate with other Bluetooth devices. These profiles include settings to parameterise and to control the communication from start.

Adherence to profiles saves the time for transmitting the parametres anew before the bi-directional link becomes to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

effective.

There are a wide range of Bluetooth profiles that describe many different types of applications or use cases for devices.”

The most popular application of using Bluetooth technology is wireless control and communication between a mobile phone and a handsfree headset.

There are many benefits and advantages to using wireless devices.

Along with improving safety as a result of eliminating wires you don’t need, wireless also offers you plenty of other advantages. When travelling with your laptop or other wireless devices, you’ll no longer have to worry about bringing connection cables.

Bluetooth is actually inexpensive.

The technology of Bluetooth is cheap for companies to implement, which results in lower costs for the company.

These savings are then passed (or should be) from the company on to you.

Bluetooth is automatic. It doesn’t have you set up a connection or push any buttons. When two or more devices enter a range of up to 30 feet of each other, they will automatically begin to communicate without you having to do anything.

Bluetooth is standardised wireless, meaning that a high level of compatibility among devices is guaranteed. Bluetooth will connect devices to each other, even if they aren’t the same model.

Bluetooth devices almost always avoid interference from other wireless

devices. Bluetooth uses a technique known as frequency hopping, and also low power wireless signals. As a result of Bluetooth using low power signals, the technology requires very little energy and will use less battery or electrical power as a result. This is an excellent benefit for mobile devices, as Bluetooth won’t drain the battery.

The standard for Bluetooth allows compatible devices to share data and voice communications.

This is great for mobile phones and headsets, as Bluetooth simplifies driving and talking on your cell phone.

Bluetooth is an instant PAN (Personal Area Network). You can connect up to seven Bluetooth devices to each other within a range of up to 30 feet, forming a piconet or PAN. For a single room, you can also set up multiple piconets.

Upgradeable is the standard for Bluetooth. There are newer versions of Bluetooth now that offer many new advantages and backward compatible with the older versions.

Bluetooth technology is a world wide, universal wireless standard.

With it being as popular as it is, you can count on it being around for years to come. As more and more devices start to use Bluetooth technology, more manufacturers will be eager to make their products compatible. A chain reaction will occur, making Bluetooth the standard for cutting edge wireless.

10 years later, Maine’s flag ladies still waving FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — Three days after 9/11, Elaine Greene held an American flag above her on a busy street corner in this small Maine town.

Since then, she and two other women have waved the flag on the same corner for an hour every Tuesday in honor of America’s service personnel and to show that the American spirit is alive and kicking.

Changed forever by the 2001 terror attacks, Greene, JoAnn Miller and Carmen Footer have devoted their lives to inspiring others through the flag. Dressed in stars-and-stripes shirts, they are a familiar sight, proudly holding their 3-foot-by5-foot flags on poles as motorists honk their horns and shout words of encouragement.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks, the Freeport Flag Ladies, as they are known, have organized three days of vigils, concerts, a laser light show, a parade and other events. For two hours Sunday morning, they will be in their usual place, holding flags while flanked by Maine’s two U.S. senators, a U.S. representative, the governor and the head of the Maine National Guard.

Before 9/11, the three weren’t particularly patriotic. But they’ve come to see the good that can come

“The Journey is the Reward”

The Freeport Flag Ladies, wave to cars in Freeport, Maine. The women, who have waved the American flag every Tuesday morning since 9/11, have dedicated their lives to encouraging the American spirit and supporting of U.S. troops in the war against terrorism.

from even a seemingly small gesture like proudly holding the U.S. flag.

Greene wasn’t even sure if picking up a flag was the right thing to do on Sept. 14, 2001, when President George W. Bush asked Americans to hold candlelight vigils. But when she did, she saw the strain on people’s faces melt away as they drove by, beeped their horns and yelled out “God Bless America.”

“You knew then that you could do something,” Greene said this week in the house she shares with Miller and Footer. “You knew then that the American people realized within their own spirit that we’re going to be OK, we’re going to get through this and that the American

spirit wasn’t dead. It just got injured a little bit.”

Since then, the women have showed up every Tuesday — the attacks took place on a Tuesday — at the corner of Main and School streets with flags in hand. They haven’t missed a day, braving hot summer sun, blizzards, nor’easters and thunderstorms with lightning.

Greene once checked herself out of a hospital following surgery against a doctor’s orders so she’d be there, even if it was in a wheelchair. The doctor wanted her stay at the hospital for six days, but she left after three.

“I didn’t have six days. Tuesday was coming up,” she said.

OPINION

77 NOT OUT

Joan Wilson

joan.wilson@ieyenews.com On Joan’s 77th Birthday lOth Sept ‘11

Writen by : Victoria Anderson

Seventy-seven and not out is a pretty good score If I were playing cricket I would certainly want more But I consider myself lucky to have reached this age Giving me more time to write another page

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.

I have such fond memories of my past Memories sweet memories I certainly hope will last For some people these memories cannot be found Memories of friends and loved ones’ all around Like falling in a well or out of a tree Swimming and diving was fantastic for me With no sign of fear whilst climbing a tree No fear or thought of what might be

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.

Cycling and sailing made no difference at all Riding a horse or a bicycle a fall was a fall We licked our bruises and applied iodine In 2 or 3 days our injuries were fine There weren’t many doctors around in those days So we looked for a cure in the old fashion ways We bathed in cold water day after day Dipped from wells or cisterns that was our way

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.

Buck toes were popular way back then But that didn’t stop us from skipping along again Our parents were strict no doubt about that So we had to obey their instructions no matter what Games like marbles, hopscotch, we all played so much Kept us very close and always in touch And dancing - oh how I loved to dance and still do Live music in our Town Hall was provided by just a few

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.

We nearly all played guitars way back in those days Entertaining ourselves in so many ways Sitting on our porches each and every night?

We’d sing like nightingales all in flight Can you imagine playing hide and seek in the nights We had more laughs not to mention the frights By the time we found eqch other we were all out of breath Talk of duppies all around frightened us all to death

If Thursday’s season opener at Lambeau Field could be considered a referendum on the importance of those player-led team workouts, the results are in after the Packers’ wild 42-34 victory over the New Orleans Saints: The sessions Drew Brees led over the summer weren’t enough to help the Saints take down the reigning champions, and the Packers’ decision not to get together as a team certainly didn’t seem to hurt them.

“That was a good start for us,” Rodgers joked afterward. “But I’ve just got to ask myself, ‘What would have happened if we had had offseason workouts?’

Could we have started any faster and scored more points tonight?”

Rodgers came out on top in a memorable opening-night duel with Brees. And after allowing 477 total net yards to the Saints, the Packers defense made a goal-line stand on the final play of the game.

“We had some problems defensively, but that’s a very good offense and he’s a great quarterback,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of Brees.

“Sean (Payton) does a great job on offense. This will be a great experience we can learn from.”

Wet data recorders hamper crash probe

BACK TO SCHOOL!

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian aviation experts ran into technical problems Friday as they began examining the flight data recorders from a plane crash that killed 43 people.

Investigators have not yet been able to pinpoint what caused the chartered Yak-42 jet to crash Wednesday into the banks of the Volga River shortly after takeoff from an airport near Yaroslavl, 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Moscow.

SEE something,

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

The magnetic tapes holding the flight information in the data recorders were still wet and investigators can’t begin deciphering them until after they dry out, the Interstate Aviation Committee said on its website Friday.

Aviation authorities are now running checks on all the approximately 60 Yak-42 jets currently in service in Russia.

The crash killed 43 people, including 36 players, coaches and staff of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team, many of whom were European national team and former NHL players. It was one of the worst aviation disasters ever in sports, shocking Russia and the world of hockey.

The team had been heading to Minsk, Belarus to play its opening game of the Kontinental Hockey League season.

The two crash survivors — player Alexander Galimov and crew member Alexander Sizov — were still in critical condition Friday after being transferred to Moscow for treatment. Hospital officials said Galimov has suffered burns to 90 percent of his body and has been placed in a medicated coma to help ease the healing process.

Spurs want to sign Beckham after LA deal ends LONDON (AP) — Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers are interested in signing David Beckham when his Major League Soccer contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy expires at the end of the year.

30

The 36-year-old midfielder trained with Tottenham during the last MLS offseason and manager Harry Redknapp is interested in signing him in January.

“I don’t think you would ever say no to David Beckham. He would bring a lot to any club,” Redknapp said Friday. “He came and trained with us last year. He was fantastic to have around the place as a player and as a person.

“He was a top-class professional and he’s the kind of lad you would like around the place. He is someone the young lads look up to and he is a great role model for anybody.”

Although Beckham trained with Spurs in January, the club failed to agree a loan deal for the former England captain.

And talks are yet to start between Spurs and Beckham’s representatives ahead of the MLS season ending in November.

“What are the chances of us signing him? I have no idea,” Redknapp said. “I’ll be honest.

I don’t have a clue. I wouldn’t know the financial situation or what it would take. I have never discussed it with the chairman.

“Would I like him here? Of course I would.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Crouch has point to prove against Liverpool

Crouch in his Liverpool days

Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com

Liverpool take on Stoke City in the Premiership clash of the day on Saturday with Potters’ new boy Peter Crouch facing his old club.

After his £10m move from Tottenham, beanpole Crouch will have a point to prove against the Reds when he makes his debut.

Liverpool will also have new

Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to keep up his good start

signings Craig Bellamy and Sebastian Coates in the squad but both are likely to only make the bench.

Midfielder Lucas Leiva said ahead of the match: “We know how difficult it is to play against Stoke, especially on their own ground.

“They have a physical game and big players, and their set pieces are always really difficult to defend. We have to go there ready to fight, try to play football and win.

“A lot of big clubs go there and can’t win, but it will be a very good test for us to see how we cope with this type of team.”

Elsewhere in Saturday’s late kickoff Manchester United travel to Bolton hoping to keep up their 100% start to the new season with a win at the Reebok Stadium.

“They have done exceptionally well in their first few matches but it is early season,’’ Ferguson said of his current team.

“We have a long way to go and there are difficult games ahead. That is the kind of league we are in.

“The experience of handling these situations has been important to us over the years and it will apply itself again this season.’’

Although United is the early pacesetter, doubts have been raised about the start goalkeeper David de Gea has made in England, conceding three goals in three games.

“Every game that comes around for him is a new experience,’’ Ferguson said. “West Brom was a difference experience for him and he actually did pretty well, despite not getting much protection from the referee, which was disappointing.’’

Elsewhere Manchester City, who’s chairman Garry Cook quit on Friday over an email storm, face Wigan.

Chelsea travel to Sunderland while Arsenal host Swansea City.

In Saturday’s remaining fixtures Everton face Aston Villa at home and Tottenham travel to Wolverhampton.

Sunday’s fixtures match-up Norwich and West Brom while Blackburn travel to Fulham. Monday nights only game sees QPR host Newcastle United.
