GANGLAND EXECUTION Robert Bush murdered as he sat in car

Retired lawyer says public opinion has no place Page 11 Cayman High School reunion details

Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com

A man has been killed in a gangland-style execution in West Bay. Robert Mackford Bush was shot dead as he sat in his car. A woman, named locally as Mayra Ebanks, was also in the vehicle.

She suffered bullet graze injuries and was yesterday recovering in hospital.

Detectives are investigating if Mr Bush was lured to the murder scene by the hitman before he was blasted in the head from close range.

Paramedics rushed to the scene at the junction of Captain Joe, Osbert Road and Birch Tree Hill Road just before 11.30pm on Tuesday night.

But despite their best efforts the 28-year-old was pronounced dead.

Mr Bush had previously been arrested and charged over assault in Club Inferno.

Detectives say he was also “involved” in the murder of Alrick Peddie who was shot dead in March last year in his grandmother’s yard in West Bay. Chief Superintendent John Jones said: “Absolutely, we are not ruling out that this is gang related.”

The death is the first fatal shooting in Cayman for almost

a year.

Yesterday, police carried out a finger-tip search of the area where the shooting took place.

One resident, who asked not to be named, said: “Things are getting worse around here and I can’t see it getting better. This is just the beginning.”

Dr. Guy Harvey speaks out on local conservation

CAYMAN INSURANCE CENTRE LTD.

The Nassau grouper is an endangered species in Cayman waters due to overfishing at spawning aggregations.

Diana Willington diana.willington@ieyenews.com

The impending plight of the endangered Nassau grouper was highlighted in the premier showing of The Mystery of the Grouper Moon on Tuesday.

Marine artist and conservationist Dr. Guy Harvey is trying to convince the Cayman Islands government to extend the eight year fishing ban at the spawning aggregations just west of Little Cayman.

Dr. Harvey, a resident of Grand Cayman appealed to the public, “It will take a combined effort from all the people on these islands to protect the Nassau Grouper.

“People need to speak out and let the government know how important this Caymanian icon is to us. They can also help by not eating

Marine artist and conservationist Dr. Guy Harvey

grouper and signing the petition that is available in Guy Harvey shops and will be soon taken around local schools.”

The Nassau grouper aggregation site is one of eight active spawning areas left around the Cayman Islands which were severely depleted before the 2003 motion was placed on the area by the Cayman Islands Marine Conservation Board.

The ban is due to expire in December of this year and the film, made by Dr. Harvey and award-winning filmmaker George Schellenger, aims to educate the community on the importance of protecting the endangered species and allowing the Nassau grouper population to recover.

At the first showing of the film there was a furore surrounding Dr Guy Harvey as the masses that attended

WINSTON PAMPHILE

queued up to meet the inspirational conservationist and get “Protect Nassau Grouper” posters signed.

Dr Harvey said, “We estimate that there are 800 – 3200 Nassau Groupers left at this particular aggregation site.

There are several ways to monitor the number of grouper in our waters. We use tagging, photography and sonic transmissions – all of which come up with roughly the same numbers.”

“But if there is one thing, in addition to the fishing ban, that is really bad for the Nassau Grouper it’s lionfish. The public can help by choosing to eat lionfish instead of other endangered spieces.

“Lionfish are the greenest of the green fish to eat. By consuming more lionfish you help tackle the threat they pose to juvenile reef fish and so in turn save the reef from destruction. Plus they are tasty too.”

Law-breaking Gumby turns himself in SAN DIEGO (AP) — Gumby has surrendered.

San Diego police say the man accused of trying to rob a convenience store last week dressed as the famous claymation character turned himself in, with an alleged accomplice.

Detective Gary Hassen said that Jacob Kiss and Jason Giramma voluntarily went to police headquarters. He says Kiss brought the Gumby suit and turned it in as well.

Police say a man dressed in a Gumby costume and an accomplice went into a 7-Eleven in Rancho Penasquitos on Labor Day and told the clerk it was a robbery.

The clerk thought it was a prank and dismissed him. Both then left the store.

Surveillance video shows the clumsy would-be robber struggling to keep the green suit on as he walked out the door.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A captive orangutan often spotted smoking cigarettes given to her by zoo visitors is being forced to kick the habit.

Government authorities seized the adult ape named Shirley from a staterun zoo in Malaysia’s southern Johor state last week after she and several other animals there were deemed to be living in poor conditions.

Shirley is now being quarantined at another zoo in a neighboring state and is expected to be sent to a Malaysian wildlife center on Borneo island within weeks. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Should the police be armed with Tasers? Medical Kevin Creary

kevin.creary@ieyenews.com

Addison Stoddart, 32, from Red Bay

Yesterday we revealed how police on the streets of Cayman may soon be armed with Taser guns.

The weapon fires 35,000 volts of electricity and can leave a suspect incapacitated without doing any permanent damage.

We asked the people on Cayman whether they thought arming the police with these “shock-guns” was a good idea.

“Tasers should only be used as a deterrent to crime, not on a regular basis.

“It can be really dangerous when used under the wrong circumstances. Other than that, I see no problem with it.”

“The police should be more aggressive towards crime, the Taser is not enough.

“Someone could be robbing you with a gun, if the police show up with Tasers, then what next?

“The robbers will take advantage of the situation.”

“I would ask are the police going to be properly trained?

Are the police going to be responsible with the Tasers?’

“Some police officers are not very good, and I would rather them having a Taser rather than a firearm, since the Taser is not considered a lethal force.”

Johan Bueschebaer, 64, from George Town

“Tasers will give the police more defensive capabilities.

The Taser is necessary, the economy is bad, and burglary is going up.

The police need to have more than just a stick.”

We’re tired of crime and violence Kevin Creary

kevin.creary@ieyenews.com

The very first murder in the Cayman Islands for 2011 occurred last night in the District of West Bay. Members of the community told iNews they are frustrated by the nature and frequency of the new wave of violence, and they do not know when it will stop.

For fear of repercussions, none of the people we spoke to would be identified.

One woman said: “I think there are so many matters to be taken into consideration.

“When I was in school it was a lot different. It was just knives that were used in crimes, not guns.

“Where are the guns coming from? How did they get here?

“Things are looking really bad on the Cayman Islands.”

Another added: “There are just not enough jobs available for the youths, and not enough employment opportunities.

“There are more gangs now than ever before, plus the youths are just fed up.

“The government is selling out the country and the youths are upset.

“People that have nothing to do will find interest in gangs.”

A young man from the area said: “I think the young people are fed up, they are out of a job and they look and see that their older family members are no better off.”

Another added: “Things are looking worse. It will not get better. The youths cannot get any work so they go out, rob people and kill.

“This situation is just starting to get bad. The new police cars are not going to make any difference.”

One man said: “I am 60 yrs old and I when I was growing up I didn’t see anything like this. We need to have more people working with the police and giving them information.

“This crime is completely out of control.

“The new cars are good but we need to have much more foot patrol.

“We need to have more police presence right now.”

“Other offenders do not believe they will ever face justice.

One male added: “The youths are fed up. They have light bills and huge rent to pay, plus kids.

“The prison system is in no way rehabilitating the prisoners.

“Prisoners are even learning how to be worse from other prisoners, so when they get back on the streets it is even more of a problem.”

Gang links to murder victim Tad Stoner

tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Police are exploring the possibility that Tuesday night’s fatal closerange shooting of 28-year-old Robert Bush in West Bay was a gang-related retaliation for a July assault at a local nightclub.

No arrests have been made in the murder, near the junction of Captain Joe and Osbert Road and Birch Tree Hill Road, at 11:20pm as Mr Bush and a female companion, informally named as Mayra Ebanks, sat in a car in the Logwood neighbourhood.

“Robert Bush suffered a fatal gunshot wound while he sat in his car,” RCIPS Chief Superintendent John Jones said yesterday. “Emergency services received a phone call from a woman in the car. Ambulance and police services responded within five minutes. When they arrived, Mr Bush was in very serious condition and expired fairly quickly.

“Police set up a cordon and deployed crime scene examiners and search teams to search West Bay. We have set up a situation room and while the investigation is in its very early stages, we appeal for any witnesses who may have seen something of value or have information that may assist us,” he said.

Unconfirmed reports suggest Mr Bush suffered three gunshot wounds to his head and face, possibly fired by more than one gunman. Police would

to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

say only that he had “fatal injuries to the head”, claiming they “would be speculating” as to what kind of gun was used or how many shots were fired.

“We will confirm all this at the postmortem,” Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said.

“We don’t think this was an accident,” Mr Jones said. “It is clear somebody had a motive. Absolutely, we are not ruling out that this was gang related. We are not saying, yes it is, but we are keeping an open mind.”

Mr Jones said Mr Bush had been arrested and charged with assault in a July incident at West Bay’s Club Inferno, and that he had been “involved” in the earlier murder of

Alrick Peddie, but police were reluctant to draw any conclusions.

“It’s still in very early stage,” he said.

“We have to confirm, and to inquire into that. Some of the incidents are linked, but we have no obvious suspects at this time.”

The Logwood area of West Bay is widely known as a hotbed for violence and gang activities, having witnessed a series of murders in recent years including Tyrone Burrell and Damian Ming.

Both Devon Anglin, recently acquitted of the February 2010 murder of 4-year-old Jeremiah Barnes, and still awaiting trial in the earlier nightclub murder of Carlos Webster, and Andy Barnes, father of Jeremiah and also in custody for unrelated offences, are also from that area.

“One would have thought that by now, with the amount of incidents in the area, that people would have been extremely alert to circumstances and report to the police so that they can take back that strip of the road,” Mr Bodden said.

“We had enjoyed almost a 12-month period without any fatal shootings,” Mr Jones said, “and we have done well to date with shooting murders.

“I am the first to accept, though, that robberies are at an unacceptable level, and we are working hard to bring those people to the courts.”

Possible development in the western Caribbean

The global model guidance is also forecasting the potential for a lowpressure system to develop just off of the North Carolina coast next week. The combination of both this low-pressure system and the highpressure system from New England is going to provide the right conditions for producing large swells off the southeastern coast of the US. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Maria is expected to turn northeast today after drenching Bermuda in heavy rain and tropical storm force winds yesterday.

She is expected to affect eastern and southeastern Newfoundland by Friday if it stays on the northeastern track it is currently on.

Winehouse’s father says he fought to get her clean friends were fighting gangsters and she decided she didn’t want to put her family in that position anymore.”

Amy Winehouse, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead at her London home on July 23. Her father is launching The Amy Winehouse Foundation on Wednesday, which would’ve been the singer’s 28th birthday.

Mitch Winehouse said there were some negative influences in the group that surrounded Amy. He said he was naive about her drug use early on.

“I didn’t know the extent of her problem until maybe four months before she decided to quit,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Amy Winehouse’s father says the fight to get her off drugs often turned physical, as he tussled with the drug dealers and gangsters who were supplying his daughter with them.

“I spent my time fighting with drug dealers, and I mean proper fighting,” Mitch Winehouse said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.

“And I’m a middle-aged man, who is overweight, having fistfights with people.”

Car bomb kills 13 outside Iraqi restaurant BAGHDAD (AP) — A car bombing Wednesday morning killed 13 people and wounded scores of others in southern Iraq as the blast went off outside a restaurant where local police were having breakfast, officials said.

The bombing was the deadliest in a day that had already claimed more lives. In all, 17 people were killed — at least six of them Iraqi soldiers or police — by midmorning and more than 50 people were wounded.

Insurgents often target Iraqi soldiers and police who have been trained by American troops, labeling

them as traitors.

The attacks also reveal how vulnerable Iraqi forces remain with just under four months before U.S. troops are scheduled to leave the country after more than eight years of war.

Those killed at the restaurant included two policemen, said Dr. Zuhair al-Khafaji of the Hillah hospital, where the injured and dead were taken. Four policemen were also among the 41 wounded in the explosion, which took place shortly before 8 a.m. n the town of al-Shumali, just south of Hillah and

about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of Baghdad.

The town is a popular resting place for Shiite pilgrims headed to the holy shrine of the Imam al-Hamza, about three miles (four kilometers) south of the town.

reliance on liquid fuel as opposed to solid rocket boosters is much closer to Apollo than the recently retired space shuttles, which were winged, reusable ships that sat on top of a giant liquid fuel tank, with twin solid rocket boosters providing most of the power.

Unity in the House and disunity in Gangland Colin Wilson

It was wonderfully refreshing to find a normally divided House unanimously supporting Friday’s (9) motion by Premier Hon. McKeeva Bush, calling for Governor H.E. Duncan Taylor and RCIPS Commissioner David Baines to provide a lead on permanent enhancements in the capability to recruit and deploy a Serious Organised Crime Unit.

Commissioner Baines, for his part, said in a meeting with the Legislative Assembly that Taser guns would be introduced as well as an increase in manpower. I applaud this initiative, as it is a step in the right direction.

Fight fire with fire? Shouldn’t the private security officers be so similarly manned after the appropriate training under RCIPS supervision and certification? I fail to see why there should be an objection to this?

The RCIPS cannot stop the current wave of armed robberies and violence on their own. The scumbags we have littering our streets are cowards and they may think twice about robbing a premises if they think they might get hurt. Tasers do hurt!!

This is not a pretty society we are living in now. We colin.wilson@ieyenews.com

iCommunity

cannot blame the expats and especially the Jamaicans living here for the criminal activities. The majority are young Caymanians who think they are ‘real men’ when they rob helpless unarmed people including women, even shooting them after they have been robbed. The ‘closed’ community here, where so many people are related to one another, is another reason why no one comes forward. That MUST change.

Keeping silent on a relation, even a close loved one you know is involved in criminal activity, is so very wrong.

You cannot really love that person if you look the other way. Your relation, your friend, your loved one will die – and soon. If it is not by the police it will be by other gangland members. We already have gangland territories. Only last night (13) a man in West Bay was shot and killed in his car. This would appear not to be a random shooting. When thieves fall out, disunity is in. Keeping silent is almost committing murder yourself.

Violence reaps violence? We already have it.

A bright day for justice, says QC Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Injecting public sentiment into the justice system can threaten the heart of a nation’s legal structure, meaning a judge must base an unpopular verdict on strict legal principles.

The 31 August not-guilty verdict in the murder trial of Devon Anglin was, in a sense, almost forced upon visiting Jamaican Grand Court Justice Howard Cooke, according to Ramon Alberga, OBE and doyen of the local legal fraternity.

“It was a brave, a bright, day for justice,” he said, assailing post-verdict remarks by a clearly frustrated Commissioner of Police, David Baines, who called the acquittal “a desperate day for justice in the Cayman Islands.”

Mr Baines said he and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), former Solicitor General Cheryll Richards, would explore the possibility of an appeal, and wondered if “judge-alone” trials were the best alternative.

“Judges work on the application of the law,” he told iNews, “while juries work on the facts.” Asked if police, in the face of Mr Anglin’s acquittal of the February 2010 murder of 4-year-old Jeremiah Barnes at West Bay’s Hell gas station, would mount a hunt for the “real” killer, Mr Baines was terse.

“I would laugh if that were funny,” he told iNews.

Mr Alberga said Mr Baines was justified to call for an appeal.

“I don’t think he would have done anything to say “the Director of Public Prosecutions and I will investigate the possibility of an appeal.’ He has a right to make that statement,” Mr Alberga said, “but it was not a ‘desperate day for justice.’

“No one could fail to be sympathetic to the son who lost his life”, but Justice Cooke faced the question of who had pulled the trigger.

“I can’t see that anything went wrong.” He understood all the principles and applied them. He said the only issue was the identification to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Ramon Alberga

and there was no further issue.”

Citing numerous inconsistencies Justice Cooke dismissed the identification of Mr Anglin by Andy Barnes, father of 4-year-old murder victim Jeremiah Barnes. The judge similarly discarded the testimony of mother Dorlisa Ebanks, whom he said, could only have caught “a fleeting glance” of the gunman.

“If he had agreed the identity of the gunman was Anglin, then he’d have convicted. On the basis of what he had heard, though, he could not have found otherwise. He had nowhere to go as a matter of law.” Mr Alberga said.

Public sentiment, outraged by the decision, moved against Justice Cooke, suggesting he was incapable and had passed retirement age, charges Mr Alberga rejected.

“He sat on the bench for more than 20 years,” Mr Alberga said, “and is very experienced. Nobody complained of [his age] and that area was never raised as an issue.

“My view is that there is a role for public opinion, but it cannot really be taken seriously,” he said.

“A case must be decided by law, and if a judge acted in disregard of the law, it would vitiate the entire legal system.”

“Aviramp” – helping disabled people board aircraft with dignity Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

A company called Aviramp Ltd was formed to help the aviation branch of Ra’alloy Ramps Ltd to create a range of access ramps, stairways and service platforms from aluminum.

Using the words of the company itself, “Aviramp was developed to meet the ever-growing demands of the aviation business and in particular for travelling passengers.”

The company has implemented a continuous number of benefits that far outweigh the traditional airstairs, ambulifts and stair-lifts. These benefits are not just for the ground services agents, but help the airlines and passengers.

With more wheelchair users and people with restricted mobility wanting the freedom to travel than before, there appeared to be a need for a beneficial means of boarding and disembarking aircraft for all these passengers.

Mr. Graham Corfield of Aviramp said, “The system for passenger boarding that has been implemented

in Grand Cayman, still unfortunately leaves disabled passengers with little dignity by having to be picked up and placed on the seat. They are boarded away from their family and other passengers. In other words, they are treated differently.

“That same system was tried in airports in the UK with unfavourable results.

“We have developed Aviramp that allows disabled passengers to board with others and stay in their own wheelchairs, thus preserving their dignity. Many international countries are now using the Aviramp system.

“Places such as Oslo and other European companies came to the conclusion that the Cayman Islands system is too slow and very

undignified for the wheelchair passenger, who has to be picked up out of their wheelchair and manhandled top and bottom.

Our design completely replaces traditional air stairs on the front of the aircraft and is effectively a mobile Jet Bridge to the main terminal building. It offers passengers the ability to board together and there is no need for persons with reduced mobility to be treated any differently from the rest of us.”

A stair lift system (“Ambistair”) is the only system available by all the airlines using the Owen Roberts Airport for disabled passengers. At the time of going to press no one from any of the airlines we contacted was able to comment on the “Aviramp” system.

Robert Hunter to give Keynote Address Mourant Ozannes is delighted to announce London-based Robert Hunter as keynote speaker at the inaugural Mourant Ozannes’ International Trusts Conference.

Robert is head of international law firm Herbert Smith’s trust litigation practice and co-head of its civil fraud, asset tracing, corporate crime and investigations practice. He is widely acknowledged as one of the UK’s most highly respected lawyers in fraud and trusts litigation. He is a founder member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists and has served as Secretary since its formation.

Legal directory Chambers UK in 2011 described Robert as “a legend

12

and a genius.” Legal 500 UK in 2010 said “he is at the top of his game”, is “like a bloodhound in pursuit of his clients’ interests”, and has “an ability to read the fraudster’s mind and anticipate his reactions”.

His list of credentials include the Kostic v Chaplin contested probate claim relating to the mental capacity of a testator who made a bequest of almost his entire multi million pound estate to the Conservative Party in Great Britain as a result of paranoid delusions regarding an international conspiracy against him as well as a case involving freezing orders, orders for delivery up of passports and cross-examination resulting from allegations of breach of fiduciary

duty and fraud against the former Chairman of an energy company.

Monitoring your electricity and water makes sense Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

An innovative way to save money and the Earth is now available to energy users in the Cayman Islands. A system has been developed which allows you to monitor your carbon footprint and counteract increasing operating costs for your home. This innovative wireless system monitors your electricity, water and irrigation uses by connecting to a database where the information is processed and stored.

It monitors measurements ranging from soil moisture, so you know when to irrigate a property, to the electrical consumption and the water usage, so you can budget effectively.

Brian Roffey, Engineer of CostWatch, the company behind the monitoring service said, “For homeowners wanting to reduce electricity consumption programmable thermostats, roof insulation and high efficiency air to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

conditioning are all worth the initial expense. They will pay for themselves in less than 2 years and will only add value to your home. Careful electricity budgeting has been shown to reduce consumption by 15% or more. We do that for you.”

The CostWatch system will detect when something is out of the ordinary with your water usage and then will send you an email within minutes of the event happening. When water bills run in a large excess of what a homeowner would normally pay, usually there is a leak to be sourced and fixed.

Mr. Roffey added that his monitoring service will notify the homeowner within five minutes of a water leak and also inform the requested plumber to “go and fix it.” It doesn’t take a ‘rocket scientist’ to work out that monitoring your water system can reduce your overall costs. This is also applicable to properties with an automated irrigation system that turns off an on on a daily basis. CostWatch can

show the property manager when to irrigate based on the soil moisture, allowing the manager to keep costs down while maintaining a healthy landscape.

Monitoring your electricity can show you how to use your electricity efficiently and manage the cost.

CostWatch told iNews they have already installed their monitoring system in many locations on Grand Cayman including St. Matthew’s University Residence Suites, Citrus Grove and Southampton Gardens Condominiums.

St Matthew’s University representative, Brenda Brown, told us, “It has been working very well and I think the change is a positive one. It allows students to take responsibility for their own energy usage and keep their bills low. We are thinking about putting more of the meters in place.”

For more information on the system contact Brian Roffey on 916-0413 or email info@costwatch.ky Their website is at www.tgtryrthkeo.ky

C-H-S Reunion Joan Wilson joan.wilson@ieyenews.com

The C-H-S as it was known in 1949 Came about at a very crucial time When the Island was full of children galore Yearning for knowledge and ways to explore.

The world out there in all its glory Was waiting to tell us another story.

There were schools already on the Island I’m sure

you’d agree Doing a great job for all to see, But the time was ripe for further learning Not only for 3-Rs were we all yearning.

We wanted to become a new generation Of business men and women of great dedication We needed to learn algebra/geometry and

biology Science/Accountancy/typing and of course,

geography, To equip us all for what was to come In sharing the wealth in this place we call home.

You must all agree folks we’ve come a long way And never forget to thank God for what we have

today.

Thanks also to our teachers who come from far

and near Not only did they teach us but became our friends

so dear.

Their names are too many for us to say - except

14

Of course for the Rev. John R Gray, Who was teacher and headmaster for many,

many years And whom we’d like to give three great big

cheers.

And Rev. George Hicks, God bless his soul Our preacher and teacher, he played a double

role.

In moulding young scholars to do their best When faced with adversities of life and put to a test.

Rev. George Ricketts was our Latin teacher He too, played two roles for he was a preacher.

In Bodden Town, North Side and East End too We loved him lots for he was true.

We’ve come a long way since 1949 An island time forgot so peaceful and sublime.

Our Christian heritage should be given all the

credit For without our faith in God we couldn’t have

made it.

These are my thoughts folks in remembering

my school days And we know moments differ in so many ways So welcome all to past students of C-H-S God bless you - enjoy our re-union and our

togetherness. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

“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.

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson

Anne

“Anne was crushed by her grief”

Part 46

Anne would not believe that he was gone.

Ah, well, many of us know the sorrow. A daughter’s love for a kind father is a peculiarly dependent, clinging affection; it is mixed with the careless happiness of childhood, which can never come again. Into the father’s grave the daughter, sometimes a gray-haired woman lays away forever the little pet names and memories, which to all the rest of the world are but foolishness.

Even though happy in her woman’s lot, she weeps convulsively here for a while with a sorrow that nothing can comfort; no other love so protecting and unselfish will ever be hers again.

Anne was crushed by her grief; it seemed to those who watched her that she revealed a new nature in her sorrow. Dr. Gaston and Père Michaux spoke of it to each other, but could find little to say to the girl herself; she had, as it were, drifted beyond their reach, far out on an unknown sea. They prayed for her, and went silently away, only to come back within the hour and meet again on the threshold, recognizing each other’s errand. They were troubled by the change in this young creature, upon which they had all, in a certain way, depended. Singularly enough, Miss Lois did not seem to appreciate Anne’s condition: she was suffering too deeply herself. The whole of her repressed nature was in revolt. But faithful to the unconscious secret of her life, she still thought the wild pain of her heart was “sorrow for a friend.”

She went about as usual, attending to household tasks for both homes.

She was unchanged, yet totally changed. There was a new tension about her mouth, and an unwonted silence, but her hands were as busy as ever. Days had passed after the funeral before she began to perceive, even slightly, the broken condition of Anne. The girl herself was the first to come back to the present, in the necessity for asking one of those sad to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

questions, which often raise their heads as soon as the coffin is borne away. “Miss Lois, there are bills to be paid, and I have no money. Do you know anything of our real income?”

The old habits of the elder woman stirred a little; but she answered, vaguely, “No.” “We must look through dear papa’s papers,” said Anne, her voice breaking as she spoke the name.

“He received few letters, none at all lately; whatever he had, then, must be here.”

Miss Lois assented, still silently, and the two began their task. Anne, with a quivering lip, unlocked her father’s desk. William Douglas had not been a relic-loving man.

He had lived, he had loved; but memory was sufficient for him; he needed no tokens. So, amid a hundred mementos of nature, they found nothing personal, not even a likeness of Anne’s mother, or lock of her curling brown hair. And amid a mass of miscellaneous papers, writings on every philosophic and imaginative subject, they found but one relating to money—some figures jotted down, with a date affixed, the

sum far from large, the date three years before. Below, a later line was added, as if (for the whole was vague) so much had gone, and this was the remainder; the date of this last line was eight months back.

“Perhaps this is it,” said Anne; “perhaps this is what he had.” “I’m sure I don’t know,” said Miss Lois, mechanically.

They went on with the search, and at last came to a package tied in brown paper, which contained money; opening it, they counted the contents.

“Three hundred and ten dollars and eighty-five cents,” said Anne.

Miss Lois took a pen and made a calculation, still with the manner of a machine. “That is about what would be left by this time, at the rate of the sums you have had, supposing the memorandum is what you think it is,” she said, rubbing her forehead with a shadowy imitation of her old habit. “It is a large sum,” said Anne.

Nothing more was found. It appeared, therefore, that the five children of William Douglas were left alone in the world with exactly three hundred and ten dollars and eighty-five cents.

Dr. Gaston and Père Michaux learned the result that day; the story spread through the village and up to the fort. “I never heard anything so extraordinary in my life,” said Mrs. Cromer. “That a man like Dr. Douglas should have gone on for the last four or five years deliberately living on his capital, seeing it go dollar by dollar, without making one effort to save it, or to earn an income—a father with children! I shall always believe, after this, that the villagers were right, and that his mind was affected.”

The chaplain stopped these comments gruffly, and the fort ladies forgave him on account of the tremor in his voice. He left them, and went across to his little book- clogged cottage with the first indications of age showing in his gait.

Bad breath

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

Most people experience bad breath at some time. It may simply be ‘morning breath’ but can be a persistent chronic condition that affects a person’s everyday life and confidence. The clinical name for bad breath is halitosis and affects 50% of every one of us.

It is almost always caused initially by poor oral hygiene leading to a build up of excess bacteria in the mouth and which gives off smelly gases. Persistent bad breath is often a sign of gum disease. Eating strongly flavoured foods, such as onions and garlic, can cause your breath to smell unpleasant. Smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol can also cause bad breath.

Occasionally, halitosis is the result of an infection or illness, or taking some kinds of medication. Contrary to popular belief the following do not usually contribute towards this problem: constipation, tonsils, gastro-intestinal problems and food.

Treating bad breath: Keep your tongue clean. Gently brush it with a soft nylon toothbrush after you brush your teeth. Your dentist can advise you on how to improve your oral health.

Drink More Water! The drier your mouth, the worse your breath gets.

Drink plenty of water when taking prescription medications as many of these medicines make your mouth extremely dry.

Keep Calm. Stress makes your breath worse!

Avoid breath mints and/or gum that contains sugar. These actually make your breath worse.

Don’t try to kill the odour of bad breath with another odour. This is what some of the oral care companies would like you to believe works.

Blow your nose more often. Your breath gets worse when you have a cold, allergies, or post-nasal drip. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

TREATS CAFE Light House Point,Next to Divetech 947-5377

All day Breakfast & Lunch

Don’t use mouthwash containing alcohol or toothpaste that has sodium lauryl sulfate. Do you have any idea how many oral care products contain these two ingredients? Here is a hint, just about all of them.

As I said before - stop smoking.

It will give you bad breath in a nanosecond, but may only take 20 years to kill you!

The best way to eliminate and prevent bad breath is to use clinically proven oxygenating oral products.

Important things you may not know about bad breath: In most cases (about 90%), bad breath comes from the mouth itself and bad breath rarely comes from the stomach.

Most people can smell other people’s breath, but have trouble smelling their own. So, if you think you have bad breath, you might or you might not. Bad taste is usually not a good indication. The best and simplest way to find out is to ask an adult in your family or a close friend.

The most common source of bad breath is the very back of the tongue.

Food debris, dead cells and postnasal drip can accumulate there, and the breakdown of the proteins by the resident bacteria causes foul odour.

The second most important cause is bacteria breaking down protein between your teeth. By the way, the

gases a n d o t h e r molecules that the bacteria produce are toxic and can harm your gums as well. Two good reasons to floss every day (if you don’t believe me, smell the floss).

Bad breath usually increases when the mouth is dry. Chewing sugarless gum for 4-5 minutes at a time can be helpful.

The generalisation that mouth washes work for only a few minutes is wrong. Try gargling right before bedtime for best results. Using alcoholfree mouth rinses.

Eating a hearty and healthy breakfast cleans the mouth and back of the tongue and gets the saliva flowing.

Some people have experienced small crumbly ‘stones’ in their mouths that have a foul smell. These are called “tonsilloliths”. They are partially calcified, full of bacteria and develop in crypts in the tonsils.

They smell pretty bad, but do not always cause bad breath. In the large majority of cases, bad breath can be dramatically improved or eliminated.

Children as young as two or three can have bad breath from postnasal drip, dental plaque and transient throat infections. However, if they develop sudden offensive odour that appears to come from all over their body, ask your physician to check whether they stuffed something up one of their nostrils!

Cayman Cares Trip remembered

Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

Many kind people in Caymanian society volunteered themselves to aid families caught up in the devastation of the 9/11 attacks.

Chuck Quappe, a well-known entertainer on the island, lost a brother in the attack. He was a long-serving fireman with the New York Fire Department and much of his 15 years service was spent in an elite rescue squad called Rescue Two. Lincoln Quappe’s remains were found around September 22nd 2001. From evidence at the scene, they believe Mr. Quappe was in the second building among the debris of the 80th floor.

The driving force behind bringing some of the distraught 9/11 families to Cayman was CITA and in particular the manager at the time Nicole, who has long since departed Cayman.

The expenses needed to bring the families here, including fares and payment of crew, were all donated

by Cayman Airways Ltd. Hotels like Comfort Suites and Reef Resort donated rooms while

restaurants such as Cracked Conch and Grand Old House sponsored lunches and dinners. Red Sails Sports donated water actives for the families.

Chuck said, “This was so overwhelming to all of us with families who had suffered such tragic losses to receive the outpouring of affection and caring from the Cayman community.

“Families of fire fighters who died were given a reprieve from the heavy burden of loss and of continuing to search “the pile” for those as yet unidentified.

“It demonstrated the best of the Cayman community in such a powerful way the power to help others begin to heal in the beautiful Cayman environment.”

“The Journey is the Reward” What if you could choose who to be despite your circumstances?

Coaching works for you to identify and achieve your most important goals.

9/11 Fact File • Twenty survivors were pulled out of the rubble.

• One was a secretary rescued after 27 hours.

• One survivor escaped from the South Tower as it collapsed • Ron DiFrancesco was one of just four people who escaped from above the 81st floor. He was on his way out when the second plane hit; it collapsed just after he exited.

LIFESTYLE iDrink Absinthe, the Green Fairy

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

Writen by : Victoria Anderson

A French doctor named Pierre Ordinaire invented absinthe at the end of the eighteenth century.

He invented it by distilling wormwood and several other herbs into an alcoholic base.

At the time it was considered a viable remedy for patients with various ailments. It was very addictive.

Although it contains special properties that other alcoholic drinks do not, absinthe contains an extremely high amount of alcohol. Most spirits contain approximately forty percent alcohol.

Absinthe can contain anywhere from fifty to seventy percent alcohol.

Therefore, although you should enjoy any absinthe experience you have to the fullest, make sure you enjoy it responsibly and do not attempt to drive a car after spending an extended amount of time with the Green Fairy.

The French, in the 19th century, originally gave absinthe the nickname La Fee Verte, which the English later translated into the Green Fairy. The mystic, Aleister Crowley gave absinthe the nickname Green Goddess, while many artists and poets coined the name Green Muse.

In 2000, scientists studied the effects of the wormwood herb on the human brain.

The study was conducted by a variety of researchers at Berkeley, the University of California and Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago. After extensive research, the scientists found that wormwood (along with other components of absinthe) cause “CNS cholinergic receptor binding activity.” In laymen’s terms, absinthe actually improves the cognitive functions of the brain!

APPLY SUNSCREEN PROPERLY.

The end of the school year is here and savvy moms and dads by now have made all the arrangements for summer.

Summer camps and leisurely days at the pool or beach are just a few of the summer rituals for many families.

However if you're tempted to let your child play outdoors for even a few minutes without proper sun protection, you might want to think twice.

Adolescence and childhood are critical periods during which exposure to UV radiation is more likely to contribute to skin cancer in later life. Children with fair skin, blond or red hair and blue or green eyes are at the highest risk of sunburn.

But darker-skinned children also need sun protection. With this in mind, it’s important that parents teach their children how to enjoy fun in the sun safely.

LIMIT OUTDOOR PLAYTIME BETWEEN 10A.M. AND 4P.M.

Apply a thick, even coat to all exposed areas 20 - 30 minutes before your child goes out in the sun. Choose a sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 or higher. Make sure it's labeled "broad spectrum," which means it blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. For your little ones, sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide should be selected as these compounds are less irritating than others. Sunscreen sticks are best for the face because they are sweat proof and less likely to drip. Don't forget nose, ears, hands, feet, shoulders, and behind the neck; lips can also burn, so apply a lip balm with SPF protection. Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, or after sweating or swimming.

COVER FROM HEAD TO TOE. Wearing protective clothing and hats is one of the primary ways of warding off UV damage. When wet, light coloured clothing transmits just as much sunlight as bare skin. Keep your kids covered with dark colours, long sleeves, and pants whenever possible. And don't forget the accessories: sunglasses with UV protection to guard against burned corneas, and hats to prevent sunburned scalps and faces.

Protective clothing, hats with wide brims, and sunglasses are just as important for babies. At the beach, bring along a large umbrella.

Parents, you are the best teacher by practicing sun safety yourself. If your child sees you following sun safety rules, he'll take them for granted and follow suit. Teach every member of the family how to protect their skin and eyes. With proper supervision, children can learn to protect themselves and enjoy summer fun without sacrificing the health of their skin.

Avoid unnecessary exposure when the sun's rays are at their strongest. Even on cloudy or cooler days, ultraviolet (UV) rays remain strong. Shady spots can be just as tricky because of reflected light. If your child is playing outdoors during these hours, make sure to apply ample sunscreen.

WATCH OUT FOR MEDICATIONS. Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to ask your doctor whether your child may be at risk. Prescription antibiotics and acne medications are the most notorious culprits, but when in doubt, ask.

Bolt runs season best 9.85 in 100 at Zagreb ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Usain Bolt made a cautious start in his first 100 meters since his disqualification at the world championships, and still won in a season-best 9.85 seconds at the Zagreb World Challenge on Tuesday.

Bolt, who false-started in South Korea last month to end his hopes of retaining his world title, shaved 0.03 seconds off his previous fastest time this year — 9.88 at Monaco in June — on a warm, still night.

“It was a poor start,” said Bolt, the world and Olympic record holder. “I kind of lost concentration and just went through the line. It was OK, I suppose, but I could have done better, especially with the weather like that.”

Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis ran a season-best 10.01 seconds to finish second, ahead of Trinidad’s Richard Thompson at 10.03.

There was standing room only at the 61st Boris Hanzekovic Memorial, where Real Madrid President Florentino Perez and club official Emilio Butragueno arrived in time to see Bolt run. Madrid begins its Champions League campaign at Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

“It was wonderful, the crowd here,”

Bolt on his way to season best

Bolt said. “I loved that they were excited and that the fans come up to me. I’m always grateful for that.”

However, security had trouble controlling the crowd as “Boltmania”

took hold when he celebrated with delirious fans.

“It’s not as bad in Jamaica, where they see me every day,” Bolt said, laughing.

The commotion extended to his news conference, which was cut short when too many journalists tried to force their way into the room.

The appearance of local favorite Blanka Vlasic in the women’s high jump also delighted the home crowd, although she eventually succumbed to world champion Anna Chicherova.

Both cleared 6 feet, 6¾ inches, with Chicherova declared the winner after Vlasic — who had a leg injury — missed on the first attempt.

“It will be difficult to improve this season,” Vlasic said. “I’m delighted that the fans were treated to a spectacular meet because I practically grew up in this stadium.”

In the men’s 110 hurdles, Cuba’s world-record holder Dayron Robles beat world champion Jason Richardson for the second straight race.

Robles finished first at the world championships but was disqualified for impeding Liu Xiang of China, giving Richardson of the U.S. the gold.

Rivera gets 600th save in Yankees’ 3-2 win SEATTLE (AP) — The celebration was pure Mariano Rivera.

No big screams or wild gestures. Certainly no spectacle, even if Rivera is widely regarded as the best ever at what he does.

Just warm hugs and appreciative handshakes from Yankees teammates. And even that might have been more than what Rivera wanted following the 600th save of his remarkable career.

Mariano Rivera

“Maybe later on after I retire, but right now I’m not focused on that. I’m not that type of guy.

I’m a team player,” Rivera said.

“I tell you guys many times and I’ll continue to tell you, it doesn’t depend on myself. It depends on my teammates giving me the opportunity to be able to pitch.”

Rivera moved within one save of Trevor Hoffman’s major league record by closing out New York’s 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.

In a season in which teammate Derek Jeter already reached one of baseball’s grandest milestones with his 3,000th hit, Rivera also has added to his Yankees legacy.

Next up is No. 601, which could come Wednesday night in the series finale at Seattle.

But even Rivera acknowledged the big one will be No. 602, when he passes Hoffman to become the most prolific closer in major league history. That leaves little time to savor No. 600, or 601.

The quick turnaround is just part of the job.

Three suspended OSU players reinstated by NCAA COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Just in time for its first road game of the season, No. 17 Ohio State got some good news for a change.

The NCAA reinstated three Buckeyes players on Tuesday who were suspended for taking envelopes with $200 cash from a university booster at a charity event earlier this year.

Tailback Jordan Hall and cornerback Travis Howard, tabbed as starters for the Buckeyes in the preseason, along with backup safety Corey “Pittsburgh” Brown, were suspended two games for violating NCAA rules by taking the improper benefits at an event in suburban Cleveland in February.

Ohio State (2-0) is girding up to play at Miami on Saturday.

“It’s always good, because these are all your brothers,” linebacker Etienne Sabino said soon after the news spread of the reinstatements. “These guys you go to camp with, we work out all year long, we hang out off the field. You’re happy for them and you’re happy they’re going to be out there with you.

It’s exciting.”

The NCAA’s only additional stipulation was that the players pay $200 to another charity.

“The university appreciates the NCAA’s expeditious response in reinstating these three studentathletes,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement.

The three were suspended just two days before the opener against Akron. .

Another late goal in Dortmund dented Arsenal’s hopes of a first win while Chelsea cruised past Bayer Leverkusen 2-0.

David Luiz has described his joy after scoring for Chelsea in his first appearance of the season.

He told the club’s official website: “It was good. It is a long time I didn’t play and this game I played 75 minutes and it is good for me, and it is important inside my body that I came back for the game. My leg is good, it is normal.

“It was a nice goal. In training we shoot with the strikers.

“Now I have three goals at Stamford Bridge and I am very happy. I love the atmosphere here, the support, and all the time the players are together and this is of big importance.”

Message from Russia, with love

Kendall training before his trip

Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com

West Bay hopeful Kendall Ebanks is fighting light weight instead of light welterweight at the World Boxing Championships.

The 22-year-old is currently training in Azerbaijan ahead of next month’s competition after he was hand-picked to take part in the exclusive camp.

And after losing weight naturally he is now down to 132 lbs for the tournament.

After a 7,000 mile journey to the former Soviet Union, Kendall spent the first few days with light training while he acclimatised to the new surroundings.

He will be joined next week by fellow Cayman pugilists Jesse Bodden and Dariel Ebanks who will also be going for gold at the prestigious event.

If successful, or any of the trio manage a silver, they will automatically qualify for the London Olympics next year.

Yesterday he told iNews how the locals in the former Soviet Union are giving him and the other boxers a very warm welcome.

He said: “The country is way different. The buildings, the food, and the time are way different so that makes it pretty hard to sleep for everyone.

“The weather is actually pretty good. Its probably like 75 degrees so I just train in a track suit in the morning, and regular clothes in the afternoon when the temperature rises a little.

“The people here love boxing.

Everywhere I go people want to take pictures. If you are running all the kids on the street or stores will come and run with you, which is very nice.

“The facility is great. It’s a very

good gym. It’s like the one we have in Cayman but has two rings instead of one.

“I have moved down a weight class. I’m fighting in light weight now instead of light welter. Light weight is 132. I moved down from 141.

“The competition here is stiff so there is no time to play, which is great because it keeps me sharp and on point all the time. The workouts are long.

“We do 16 round sparring, pad work, bag work etc, not including the skipping and sprints.”
