Rumours that the body of missing doctor’s assistant, Kerran Baker, has been found, have been dismissed by the police. BBM’s, text messages, and telephones calls, claiming that the police have found the missing woman is complicating matters and hurting family and friends, according to the police. And they said that such false allegations are hampering the police inquiry and causing a great deal of stress to Kerran’s family. “We can only conclude that that information is false and malicious.” said RCIPS Chief Superintendent, John Jones. Both C.S. Jones and Detective Superintendent, Marlon Bodden, made clear their disgust with the circulation of rumors surrounding the missing woman’s whereabouts. In

Horacio really is a native son Gabrielle Myers
gabrielle.myers@ieyenews.com
Artist Horacio Esteban shows his original caymanite pieces at his second exhibition, One Native’s Son II in the Treasure Island lobby throughout this month. This artist not only creates pieces for sale locally but also has created sculptures for the Royal family, Nelson Mandela and others. Mr. Esteban, 47, is one of the very few artists who works with caymanite. He said that he chose to work with caymanite because: “First and foremost it was the most challenging material to work with. “I got to that point after going through glass, metals and other mediums. The second reason was that no one seemed to realise what it is, what it can do and its value.” He added: “I don’t get too attached to my work for too long. I’ve literally made things and broken them on purpose. “I wanted to keep everything I made. However, I particularly like the mosaics that I do. It’s like painting but with stone.” Mr. Esteban also works with other stone types such as limestone

and bauxite. He said: “There is definitely a process for creating with stone - identifying different consistencies so you don’t fragment any of the stone types. I like working with the mixed medium better though because they create better pieces at the end.” Mr. Esteban talked about one of the objectives of his work being that he wanted to show Caymanian culture in his work he said; “It is an objective, part of the feel good purpose. My only pay off sometimes is the joy my work brings to the people.”

iStrange Missing Ohio ballpark statue found at police dept. TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A bronze statue of a little girl reported stolen from an Ohio minor league ballpark has been found safe, in a police property room. The Blade newspaper reports two Toledo officers found the statue on the sidewalk early Saturday about 20 yards from its usual spot. Their report says they took it away to protect it. Sunday evening, the Toledo Mud Hens noticed the statue missing from outside Fifth Third Field and filed a theft report. The city’s arts commission was relieved to learn Monday that it was not taken by scrap metal thieves. The statue is one of four in a piece depicting four life-size children trying to look through knotholes in a ballpark fence. It’s not clear why it was unbolted and moved.
Miss. man buys 150 pizzas from Mass. restaurant STOUGHTON, Mass. (AP) — A Mississippi man who grew up in Massachusetts goes to great lengths for a good pizza. Actually about 1,400 miles. David Schuler returned to Jackson, Miss., last weekend with 150 pies from Town Spa Pizza, a restaurant in his home town of Stoughton, just outside Boston. It’s a tradition he started years ago when he couldn’t find a good slice in Mississippi. He returned with 150 frozen, vacuum-sealed pies. That was a record for him. They cost $1,200. He made the 16-state trek in 24 hours, munching on Town Spa pizzas he kept on the passenger seat. Restaurant manager Kerry Hughes tells The Enterprise of Brockton he ships pizzas as far as California and Florida, but Schuler is his best out-ofstate customer.

Taxing time for those with US links Tad Stoner
tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Tax lawyers have warned that an end-of-month deadline could place thousands of people in the Cayman Islands in legal jeopardy with US authorities for failing to report local bank accounts. Under new US tax requirements, anyone with an income from US sources must report their bank accounts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the end of August or face a series of fines from the IRS. “The US government is bankrupt and needs the money,” said B.J. Ghatrehee, tax expert in the Dallas, Texas, firm of Kroney Morse Lan, PC. Struggling with a global recession, two ongoing wars, a trillion-dollar debt and a precarious financial system, the Barack Obama administration has sought revenues from sources previously subject to only modest scrutiny. “The IRS is offering taxpayers with undisclosed income from offshore accounts an opportunity to participate in a voluntary disclosure programme in order to get current on their tax returns,” Mr Ghatrehee said. Known as “FBAR”, the Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts law has been in place for some years, but assumed renewed urgency following the 2001 attack on the New York City’s World Trade Center. “In a way, the terrorists won,” Mr Ghatrehee said. “They wanted the world to change and it did. The US government now wants to see where the terrorists are moving their money.” As a result, however, FBAR asks every person with a foreign bank account with US-derived income worth more than $10,000 -- no matter their citizenship, residence or passport – from 2003 to 2010 to report those accounts to the IRS, and to pay all back income tax that may be due. The law normally requires individuals to report their accounts by 30 June of the previous year, but Mr Ghatrehee said a new programme targeted those to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
Barack Obama
who have not reported their accouts previously. “The 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative (OVDI) is available only through Aug. 31, 2011,” he said. “OVDI offers benefits to encourage taxpayers to disclose their foreign accounts now rather than risk an IRS audit and possible criminal prosecution.” Describing possible repercussions of non-compliance, Mr Ghatrehee cited the case of a US-resident Indian who had approached his firm. “She paid all her taxes to the IRS” he said, “but had a bank account in India that she did not report.” Tax authorities discovered the offshore deposits, he said, “and, although she paid all her taxes, she did not file an FBAR”-- and now owes a $50,000 penalty. “The problem is that a lot of people don’t even know about this,” he said. “There are people in Grand Cayman
who left the US 15 years or 20 years ago and have never been back, and now the IRS is coming after them. “The biggest problem, is who they are talking to, who they get hold of. They will ask their attorney or accountant, and they’ll say not to worry, and a lot of people are doing nothing.” He estimated “a couple of hundred” people would be subject to IRS audits in Cayman, predicting authorities were likely “to come after the big guys, people with accounts of $500,000 or more.” Smaller account holders, with $25,000 or $50,000, were likely to escape scrutiny, at least initially. “It doesn’t make sense to come after these people and prosecute them criminally,” he said, “because you would have to prove they willfully ignored FBAR – and that’s hard to do.”

Justice Quin receives international praise Colin Wilson colin.wilson@ieyenews.com
Andrew Rogerson, TEP of Rogerson Law Corp in this month’s edition of STEP Journal*, praised a decision Cayman Islands Justice Charles Quin handed down on 10th May, 2011. In 1975 in the UK ‘Mareva Compania Naviera S.A. v. International Bulk Carriers S.A’. the court made an order preventing the defendant in the law suit from transferring assets until the outcome of the law suit is decided to ensure that the defendant’s assets are not dissipated in order to avoid satisfying a judgment. This is now known as the ‘Mareva Injunction’. Justice Quin granted the freestanding Mareva injunction in the case of Gillies-Smith v Smith. Justice Quin “refused to follow Cayman authority and effectively increased the standing of Cayman as a legal and financial centre,” Rogerson wrote also stating, “The free-standing Mareva enables assets located in Cayman to be frozen, in aid of overseas proceedings, even though there is no separate cause
of action in Cayman.” Justice Quin broke legal precedent when he acknowledged the need here for change in the Gillies-Smith v. Smith case that concerned the wife’s application to freeze her husband’s considerable assets. The assets, located in Canada and the Cayman Islands, included a significant quantity of diamonds, large amounts of cash, several houses, a boat and a number of vehicles. Most of the family wealth in this long marriage had been acquired fairly recently, following a multimillion-dollar lottery win. It was alleged that the husband advised the wife that the marriage was over, left her very little and departed for the Cayman Islands. This precipitated the successful application for a Mareva injunction in Ontario, Canada. Worldwide Marevas cannot, in practice, have direct effect in an overseas jurisdiction. By Justice Quin making his decision, the Cayman Islands have now joined the Isle of Man and the British Virgin Islands.

the police not only refuted the allegations but have also made a strong appeal for the perpetrators of the rumours to stop. They say the rumours put strain on their investigative resources and causes great pain to the family and friends. Detective Bodden said: “Yesterday we got a lot of calls from the public. “There is a rumour that Kerran has been located. We are appealing to the community not to get involved in that kind of rumour. “It consumes a lot of investigative time and causes great pain to the friends and family. “The act of people spreading rumours like this uses up great time and investigative resources of the RCIPS.” According to the police, there has been no determination as to the reason, source or origin of the rumours, and how it had managed to gain rapid momentum. “When individuals profess that kind of false information we still have to investigate. We still have to justify the reason for our deployment.” The top officers revealed yesterday that this case is unique - as her disappearance creates a mystery never before seen. Mr Bodden added: “No one has come forward to say that they know anything. “It is a unique challenge. We have always received bits of information from individuals in similar cases.

Asked if new wiretapping capabilities could assist in the police’s investigation the Chief Superintendent said: “We cannot comment on phone tapping issues at all, as it relates to investigation.” The police are asking persons with any information about the missing woman to contact them.

Mourners pay respects to the King of Rock & Roll and into Tuesday morning, marking the anniversary of the King’s death on Aug. 16, 1977. The vigil is the main draw of “Elvis Week,” and some waited hours outside the stately mansion for the procession to start. Paula Penna came with her family from Campinas, Brazil, for her sixth vigil. Penna, who met her Brazilian husband in an Elvis fan club, cried and hugged him, her sister and aunt after paying her respects. She said Elvis songs have helped her family though good and bad. All four have Elvis tattoos. “Elvis music keeps the family together,” said Penna, who also was
born on Aug. 16 and will celebrate her 27th birthday Tuesday. “I promised to come every year to pay tribute to Elvis because he is very important to the family life.”
Man held after six murdered LONDON (AP) — A Polish man is suspected of killing his wife, their two children, his father-in-law and two family friends in a frenzied stabbing spree, the deadliest crime in memory on the Channel Island of Jersey, police and local residents said Monday. Detective Supt. Stewart Gull of Jersey Police said a man, two women and three young children stabbed to death Sunday came from two families, one of them Polish. He said the other family was from Jersey. Polish officials said they believed all the victims were of Polish origin. A 30-year-old man — a member of
the Polish family — has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He was in a hospital Monday after undergoing surgery for knife injuries that witnesses said were self inflicted. Police were waiting to question him. Gull said four victims were found inside the Polish family’s apartment on a secluded residential street in the island’s capital, St. Helier. Two were found outside the building. He said it was too early to speculate about a motive for the killings. Britain’s Press Association news agency identified the victims as the Polish man’s wife, their two children and his wife’s father, as well as a family
friend and her child. Neighbors reported hearing screams before police and ambulances arrived Sunday.
Teen charged over riot murder LONDON (AP) — British police have charged a 16-year-old boy with murdering a retiree during an attack by rioters in London last week, as the government said officers would get better training and stronger powers to deal with a new and unpredictable era of street disturbances. The boy, who can’t be named because of his age, is accused of killing 68-year-old Richard Bowes, who was found lying in a street during riots in Ealing, west London, on Aug. 8. He died of head injuries three days later. The boy’s mother has been charged with obstructing the police investigation. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
The suspect appeared in a London youth court Tuesday and was ordered detained until his next hearing Thursday. Five people died during violence that ravaged English cities last week, including three men hit by a car in Birmingham, central England as they protected local shops from looters. Two men and a teenage boy have been charged with murdering Haroon Jahan, 20, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31. Several suspects have also been questioned about the death of a man who was shot in the head during rioting in south London.
Across the country, some 3,000 people have been arrested — more than half of them in London — and about 1,400 of those charged with riotrelated offenses.

The Editor Speaks Slanting iNews editorials Colin Wilson
Slanting a news story to your own personal bias is not a new trend. Michael Moore, the infamous USA filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator, in a presentation I was at some years ago in Vegas boasts about it. The very thing Moore purports to stand for, printing or showing the truth, he actually advocated slanting a story the way you personally want to bias it. The point he made was if you believe the world is flat you ask enough people who think it is and blaze it in your headline. THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE SAY THE WORLD IS FLAT AND HAVE THE PROOF”. Even though you have found ten million with the opposite view doesn’t matter. You have not lied you have just slanted the story your way. To my horror I have been accused of doing just this in the article in yesterday’s iNews re the Phone Tapping Legislation. We interviewed six persons on the street to ask them their opinion on the new legislation. We asked many more persons who did not want to respond because we are insistent on knowing their names and photographing them (with their permission) for publication. We were not responsible for the content of their replies nor framing our question in such a way as to solicit the answer we wanted. We just asked their opinion. All six persons were positive in their answers and some did voice some reservations and wanted ‘such and such’ in place. I was accused of only publishing the positive and not the negative comments and the accuser sent me ones posted on another media site which, unsurprisingly, were all negative blogs. Apart from one blog all were from the same person - “Anonymous (not verified)” - he or her seems to very busy – and the lone named blogger used a pseudonym. In my article I pointed out a number of things I, and some of my fellow media personna who were at the meeting held by Dep. Gov. Donovan Ebanks, were unhappy with. This included the very unfortunate one giving the sole power to implement the phone tapping to the Governor. After the debacle implemented by previous Governor Jacks in Operation Tempura one wonders if the UK Government know what went on here. If not, one can only conclude they really are trying to manipulate and pull strings or they don’t care one way or another. Whatever the reason, this decision will turn the many positives in the law to negatives. In the aforementioned blogs that point was rammed home over and over. The question of “fishing expeditions” did come up during the meeting and Mr. Ebanks took great pains to say that the five criteria for implementing the tapping prohibited any such fishing expeditions. My other big worry about the new law and I did point this out in my article is all the
colin.wilson@ieyenews.com
appointments to the Interception of Communication Audit Committee (ICAC) – who comes up with these names? are done by the Governor in Council. If I was slanting my article to a solely positive piece I would have left it out. Yes, I have tried to be fair to the legislation and not cherry picked to opening my article with ‘any person employed by the RCIPS can intercept a message....’ and other attention grabbing headlines. The header was correct and to be fair did point out in a separate paragraph that the interception request ‘must be authorised by a warrant issued directly from Cayman’s governor.’ I believe all of us at the meeting do see the need for some form of phone tap, email snoops, etc. legislation. The criminals are getting away with murder and this quite literally. They have the upper hand by a gun in the hand. They use BBM’s and the social networks to their advantage and with impunity. They are not one step ahead of the law at the moment they are ten steps ahead. Their crimes are orchestrated by the sophisticated and very cheap wireless communication technology available to all of us. If this new legislation helps to win the battle or even gets us on a level playing field I am for it and willing to give it my support. It is so easy and WRONG to moan and groan about EVERYTHING one tries to implement to fight crime and moan and groan that nothing is being done. We most certainly do need to be wary about this new legislation. I hope the Governor will announce who the people are on this Interception of Communication Audit Committee (sorry I just had to put the name out in full again) and the RCIPS be as open as they reasonably can about the implementation of the law. I am nervous about it and there must be results. If there aren’t, I’m sure it won’t make any difference to the legislation. Once in place it’s here to stay! Yes, there is an erosion of our liberties but it is because of us. We have allowed the criminal elements to get the upper hand. The sentences are too light for the crime that has been committed. There are not enough prisons to house the criminals that are caught because the majority of them are there for petty offences and there is not enough money implemented in the budget for more lockups. Too many of the criminal element get off on technicalities which have nothing to do with all the crime fighting tools that are available to the police. Most are due to complete inefficiency by humans. We are still waiting to hear how the guns went missing. The RCIPS want our help and they have to have our help but prosecuting people for a couple of dollars worth of lottery tickets isn’t going to win the public over even if it does appear on the plus side of a statistic. What way have I slanted that?

OPINION
Letter to the Editor The United Kingdom’s permission for Cayman’s annual budget and debt is required under the Cayman Constitution, as read with the Public Management and Finance Law, when the Government is in breach of some of the Responsible Financial Management Principles for Total Government Borrowings. The Entire Public Sector DEBT is forecast for 2010/2011 at $773,853,000----(773 Million Dollars) up from $110 million in the year2000 when we were Ministers in Government. Unfunded Pension Liability as at 1 January 2005 stood at $175 million and will be considerably more now, some 6 years later. Total LIABILITIES for 2011/2012 budget are $1,204,227,000----(One Billion, two hundred Million Dollars) FRIGHTENING! Our CHILDREN and future Caymanian generations will have to repay this massive debt over the next 20 to 30 years. How can they? The last few years are the first time in the Cayman Island’s history that such a serious breach of Responsible Financial Management Principles under the law has happened. It was mainly due to the excessive expenditure, excessive borrowings, contractual commitments and commitments to borrow of the last Peoples Progressive Movement (PPM) Government. The two new expensive schools which will probably cost a possible Two Hundred Million Dollars, are still not complete. To complete them will further worsen Cayman’s financial
iNotices
position and debt. While good roads are necessary, the over expensive roads built by the PPM Government and the Minister of Works and Roads on private land whose owners have not been compensated or paid for their land is another burden on future generations and apparently not yet fully shown in the Government’s accounts. One light of hope is that the United Democratic Party (UDP) has reduced the annual deficit of the PPM Government’s 30 June 2009 whopping unprecedented Eighty one Million ($81,000,000 –) DEFICIT to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000--) for the year ending 30 June 2010. A surplus is estimated for the year 2011 . This is a very good achievement by UDP, having regard to the debt and payment commitments under contracts which UDP inherited from PPM Government and massive debt servicing ($40,721,000—in annual interest and $26,000,000—in principal repayments) and in light of the world economic recession. The United Kingdom appears to have stopped borrowings for new projects, thank the Lord. It is a pity the UK did not stop the PPM Government’s earlier borrowings which would have made Cayman much better off financially today. The UK’s enforcement of Responsible Financial Management is in the best interests of the Cayman Islands and its people and responsible Government. There are
some who disagree with Caymans dependent status but this control over Irresponsible Government spending and our prosperity and stability shows how important the UK is to Cayman and its people. If we were an Independent country the Government could do as it wished. It would probably never return to responsible financial management. Most Caribbean countries became independent because the politicians did not want to be answerable to the UK or anyone else, who would keep them financially responsible and honest. Political independence has been financial and social disaster for many Caribbean countries. The new constitution promoted by the PPM and the Cayman Ministers Association among others, has taken Cayman in one big leap (rather than three sensible timely steps which is usual) about as far as responsible government can go. Sadly the next major political advancement will mean independence and financial and social disaster as seen in nearly every other independent country especially in the Caribbean. Do NOT let the political parties or politicians lead or push Cayman into Independence as they did earlier with political parties which parties have proven to be detrimental and divisive in some ways to the Caymanian people and even some families.

Debut screening of Genuine Cayman at Camana Bay Restaurant shares stories behind its locally-sourced menu In an ongoing effort to showcase local farmers and ingredients, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink Grand Cayman will host its fifth monthly Farm-to-Table event on Saturday, August 27 at 6:00 p.m. Guests attending will get a first look at chef/owner Michael Schwartz’s Genuine Cayman, his new series in development for Caymanian television exploring the origin of seasonal, island ingredients sourced daily for the restaurant. The Farm-to-Table menu, “Genuine BBQ Edition” by executive chef Thomas Tennant, will include a

mouth-watering line up of items like brisket, grilled pork belly, seagrapesmoked pork shoulder, Caybrew can chicken, breadfruit salad, sweet potato salad, wood oven roasted corn and okra, and more. The restaurant’s full a la carte menu will not be available due to the evening’s festivities, but the bar will remain open to walk-in customers with its snack menu available. “Each time we work with Slow Food on these dinners, excitement over our menus grows – as does my creativity with the ingredients – and we quickly sell out,” explains
Tennant. “The series has helped reinforce everything we believe in, especially the importance of local and fresh products. It’s fun to see diners embrace the concept.” Guests will be invited for a welcome drink at the restaurant at 6:00 p.m. and at 6:30 p.m. will take a short stroll down the Paseo to Hollywood Theaters to view a presentation of Genuine Cayman. The 30-minute screening is complimentary to Farm-toTable dinner attendees, and there will be a guest check-in list at the theatre entrance. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Boat builder in the making

While the summer offers a muchanticipated vacation period to most students, it’s a chance for Ned Jerris Miller III to hone his newfoundskills, learned at the International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) in Newport, Rhode Island. As the first recipient of the Gwen Bush Memorial Scholarship, which awards $20,000 annually and aims to revive Cayman’s maritime industry, he is excited about what the opportunity means to him. Earlier this year, as part of his freshman assignment, he and a teammate completed the restoration of a dilapidated 55-year-old 12-ft Beetle Cat®. Of course, every restored boat must be tested for sea-worthiness and his passed with flying colours after successfully crossing the Newport Sound in June. His school later sold the boat for US$11,000. Commenting on his recently acquired skills Ned says, “While the construction of a New England catboat differs from that of a local catboat, all the techniques learned at IYRS reflect the traditional way that catboats were built in the Cayman Islands. “The drafting and technical drawing courses taught me how to document the dimensions of existing Cayman Catboats and to produce full-sized plans. This will allow interested persons to build to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
catboats from plans and may result in additional private catboats sailing in our waters.” While this viewpoint may seem ordinary enough to most, it’s actually quite timely, since very few of Cayman’s original catboat builders remain to pass their skills on to the younger generation. With this in mind, Kem Jackson, one of two remaining master boat builders, is taking Ned under his wings for the summer. Supervised by Kem, Ned plans to measure, document and produce builders’ drawings for the 38-year-old Cayman catboat Chisholm Cat. On completion, his work will be sent to IYRS for evaluation and addition to his 2010/2011 grades. He’ll also present copies of his drawings to the Cayman Islands National Archive for safekeeping. And Ned’s efforts won’t end there; the balance of his summer he’ll spend documenting the dimensions of the nine catboats in the Cayman Catboat Club’s fleet. He notes, “All of this year’s work will be helpful in fulfilling the Cayman Maritime Heritage Foundation’s mission. One of the major problems with the hundreds of catboats built in Cayman over the past 150 years is that they were all built from half models. “They were never built from plans, and except for the overall length,
no information exists on the exact dimensions of a Cayman catboat.” Ned returns to IYRS in September where he’ll complete the final 12-months of his two-year programme. Expressing thanks for his scholarship he says he’s eternally grateful to the Ministry of Education, the Cayman Maritime Heritage Foundation, and the Cayman Seafarers’ Association, all of which were partners in creating the scholarship. He is also grateful to the family of the late Gwen Bush. Education Minister, the Hon. Rolston Anglin, JP takes pleasure in congratulating Ned on successfully completing his first year. “We look forward to your return home and to the efforts you’ll undoubtedly make to revive Cayman’s boatbuilding industry,” he says. “It is also my hope that your passion will encourage others to follow in your footsteps, and to take advantage of this unique scholarship opportunity, which is specifically designed to help restore a trade that holds such a special place in our heritage.” For more information on the Gwen Bush Memorial Scholarship, call the Scholarship Secretariat on 244-2417 or email: scholarships@gov.ky.

6 – 31 August 2011
Ministry of Education, Training and Employment Senior Systems Administrator Lance Barnes (left) with summer interns Jeremy O’Sullivan, Olin Monteith and Shirley Rivers.
This summer the Ministry of Education, Training and Employment has engaged nine interns as part of government’s student employment programme. But three in particular are helping the ministry’s information technology (IT) team prepare for the new school year. Jeremy O’Sullivan, Olin Monteith and Shirley Rivers all have an interest in computers and as such, have been furthering their education and experience in the field. They’ve been working alongside Senior Systems Administrators Lance Barnes, Shanalyn Barnes, Drew Connolly and Richard Bodden to ensure that the education network is ready for the 2011-2012 school year. Jeremy O’Sullivan, who enters his senior year at Michigan Technological University this September, has interned with the ministry for the last three summers. He says he’s learned a lot about the ethical side of a technician’s work, and about the trust and confidentiality issues which accompany some areas of the job.

But more importantly he loves the consistent experience the opportunity has offered him. “In this field you can have all the qualifications you need,” he says, “but it’s experience that will get you that first job.” Olin Monteith, who recently completed his associate’s degree in IT at the University College of the Cayman Islands, will be heading to Illinois’ Quincy University next month, to earn his bachelor’s. He notes that the internship has helped him gain a better understanding of the technology field, but it’s the opportunity to apply his theoretical knowledge in the real world that he values most. The youngest in the group, Shirley Rivers, says the experience has taught him to think on his feet. “There’s not always a script to solve the issues we face,” he explains. “So you really just have to take each challenge as it comes.” This is his second year as an IT intern with the ministry, and he now awaits his Year 11 external examination results before he’ll know for sure what the new school
year holds. But regardless, he’s certain it will have something to do with computers. According to Senior Systems Administrator Lance Barnes, the Ministry of Education, Training and Employment has the second-largest computer network in the Cayman Islands. More than 2,000 PCs are connected to the system. With limited permanent staff, the interns play an integral role in helping his unit prepare all PCs for the new school year. Specifically, they are tasked with tagging computers that display operational problems, those that need replacing, and troubleshooting other general IT problems. They also install new software, most of which is purchased during the summer months, onto new and existing PCs. Overall Mr. Barnes is optimistic that the experience will help the interns when they begin their job search. He adds, “Hopefully, we can hire some of the interns later on. But if not, we’ve at least given them a start with some experience.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

“Labour of Love” astronomical telescope Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
“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. Benefits include: - increased power, integrity communication and balance in life Retired surgeon, Rotarian and astronomer, Bill Hrudey
Curious what coaching has to offer? Now offering free sample sessions.
It was ten years ago that retired surgeon and Rotarian William (‘Bill’) Hrudey began work in his garage on a lifetime dream, building a 12” diameter reflecting astronomical telescope. “It’s been a labour of love,” he said. After, around three years of painstaking work, the completed telescope stood in his garage in West Bay. That was when disaster struck. In 2004, Hurricane Ivan flooded his home with several feet of seawater, covering the telescope. “It was destroyed. I was able to salvage the telescope tube,” he said. Undaunted, Mr. Hrudey began the project all over again, virtually from scratch. He estimates he spent around CI$30,000 on the parts. When the new telescope was finally completed, Mr. Hrudey started looking for a home for it. His aim has always been to share his passion for astronomy with others, especially young people. “As an early teen, I belonged to a group of peers all of whom had a major interest in science and astronomy in particular. We were fortunate in having the support and encouragement of several University of Alberta professors
as well as use of the university’s Observatory,” he recalled. About a year and a half ago, after making extensive enquiries within the local community, which had drawn a blank, Mr. Hrudey was on the verge of offering the telescope to Jamaica. That was when fellow Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman stepped in to help, both by contacting Mr. Roy Bodden, President of the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) who immediately showed an interest in the telescope, and also by beginning fundraising for the next phase: a purpose-built observatory on the UCCI campus. “We committed CI$20,000 in funds last year and a further CI$20,000 to CI$30,000 this year,” said Sebastien Guilbard, President Elect of the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman. Soon, two other sponsors were brought in to help, The Dart Group and Greenlight Re, a reinsurance company, both of whom have contributed signicantly to making Mr. Hudrey’s dream finally come true. It is thought that the new observatory and all the equipment will cost around CI$120,000 altogether. The groundbreaking for the new

finds a home at the UCCI observatory housing the telescope recently took place at the UCCI campus – which will be the telescope’s permanent home. Apart from use by students – there will be a new course in astrophysics on offer at the college - the telescope will be open to the public. It is also hoped that the new telescope will be the focus of astronomy conferences, attracting delegates from overseas, according to remarks offered by Premier Hon. McKeeva Bush during the groundbreaking ceremony. UCCI President Roy Bodden said: “I
am excited about this project because when I came here I noticed there was a shortcoming. I wanted to introduce science and engineering because I believe that the challenges of the 21st Century are going to be challenges which are solved by science and engineering.” Mr. Vaughn Carter, Deputy Chief Officer of the Ministry of Education said “This is going to provide inspiration, not just for astronomers in particular or scientists in general, but for students of any discipline who are seeking to broaden their education at the University College of the Cayman Islands.”

The competition in the social media and internet communications market is heating up as Facebook implements video calling, powered by Skype, in response to Google’s release of Google+. Facebook, the social media giant who has 750 million active users sharing 4 billion items every day, was pressed to release a video calling feature. By Facebook collaborating with Skype and their 170 million users, together they can tackle their competition Google, ensure Facebook users are engaged, and open up new market opportunities for Skype. According to feedback, potential Skype users are most commonly deterred by the requirement to set up an account in order to avail of the service. In response, Facebook has linked Skype directly into the website and by simply clicking a button you can place a call. They emphasize that you do not need to create an account, just download a video plug-in the first time you place a call and after that, you can be connected with friends via video calling. Initially, Facebook’s voice calls will be limited to one-to-one which is lagging behind Google+ which has the capability for video conferencing for up to 10 people. On the other hand, Google+ is currently only available on an invitation basis which could hurt its potential. Both of these competitors are working hard to secure their place in the market and release the latest and greatest features.

Prospect Playhouse auditions children for a Shakespearean dream
Director Alisa Bowen brings magic to a classic Shakespearean comedy at The Prospect Playhouse.
The Cayman Drama Society (CDS) is holding auditions for a unique children’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The production is being directed by Alisa Bowen, with quite a magical twist! Ms. Bowen has edited Shakespeare’s original script specifically for children in a unique adaptation which will set this classic comedy on a magical island complete with mermaids, talking Blue Iguanas, sea turtles, fairies and lovers entranced under Caribbean music and magical flower juice to only discover themselves lost in the mangroves and beaches. This is not the first adaptation for Theatre Director Alisa Bowen, as she has auteured Shakespearean productions previously for children of all ages, and has arrived with a hefty left-hook professional theatre curriculum vitae as a Director from the United States. She arrived on Grand Cayman last year to direct and educate children in theatre at The Cayman National Cultural Foundation (CNCF). For the past year, she has educated and directed young actors in an intense conservatory-style acting class at The Harquail Theatre in the Young@Arts programme and directed the student performers in The International to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Gimistory Festival. The CDS is excited to produce Ms. Bowen’s edited script for children with a unique twist on the classical comedy. Her directorial vision for this children’s production will take place on a ‘magical island’, complete with sea turtles, Titania as a mystical island mermaid, Puck portrayed as a mischievous and ever-meddling talking Blue Iguana, underscored with hypnotising beats of Reggae music leading the lovers on a wild chase through the island mangroves, sea grape trees and beach. This past weekend Bowen auditioned an impressive quality of young actors with Executive Producer Karie Bergstrom and Producer/CDS Theatre Manager Paul de Frietas. Young hopefuls trickled into the playhouse this past weekend with fully memorised Shakespearean monologues and rehearsed scenes, many of whose performances would have rivaled adults. The CDS will be auditioning for A Midsummer Night’s Dream Sunday, August 21st from 1pm-4pm at The Prospect Playhouse. Interested children ages 6-17 years old can view and download a copy of the script at www.cds.ky as well as the complete character list, audition and complete production details.

Hey tapir, jaguar, smile! You’re on Candid Camera TASTER’S CHOICE CAFE & JUICE CORNER
PIONEER OF THE $3 MEAL

WASHINGTON (AP) — They are the hidden family portraits of Earth’s most remote jungles finally revealed: A touching snapshot of an endangered female mountain gorilla carrying an infant on her back. A giant anteater sticking its enormous snout practically in your face. Soulful eyes of a curious chimpanzee, a speedy jaguar and a rare tapir staring back at you. Researchers are getting an unusual peek into key tropical spots with 420 hidden automatic cameras snapping candid photos of the truly wild. The first of almost 52,000 pictures were released Monday by Conservation International, a group that promotes wildlife protection, and they are wowing some
experienced wildlife biologists. The cameras snapped away during a month of the dry season, starting in 2008, in seven different countries and will continue to take candids in future years. “These kind of captured them doing what they’re doing, being themselves,” said study lead author Jorge Ahumada, technical director of the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring Network. What’s key is that there were no people involved. The cameras were hidden with camouflage and don’t have a visible flash. They are heatsensitive so when something warm is nearby, the camera snaps a picture. The cameras were positioned to

study mammals, but also got large birds, lizards and something else: human poachers, guns in hand. Ahumada and his team positioned the cameras in seven different wildlife preserves in Suriname, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Tanzania, Brazil, Uganda and Laos. Suriname had the most diversity and Laos the least. Their findings were published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. “What a great study,” said Stanford University biologist Terry Root, who wasn’t involved. “Mammals are very hard to census because they are afraid of humans and they have better ways of hiding than we have of finding them.”

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson
Anne
“dejected over the fish-balls … appalled by the pudding”
Part 25 And certainly she was a faithful guide-post, continually pointing out an industrious and systematic way, which, however, to the end of time, no French-blooded, French-hearted person will ever travel, unless dragged by force. The villagers preferred their lake trout to Miss Lois’s salt cod-fish, their savory stews and soups to her corned beef, their tartines to her corn-meal puddings, and their eaude-vie to her green tea; they loved their disorder and their comfort; her bar soap and scrubbing-brush were a horror to their eyes. They washed the household clothes two or three times a year: was not that enough? Of what use the endless labor of this sharp- nosed woman with glasses over her eyes at the church-house? Were not, perhaps, the glasses the consequences of such toil? And her figure of a long leanness also? The element of real heroism, however, came into Miss Lois’s life in her persistent effort to employ Indian servants. The old mission had been established for their conversion and education; any descendant of that mission, therefore, should continue to the utmost of her ability the beneficent work. The meeting-house was closed, the school- house abandoned, she could reach the native race by no other influence save personal; that personal influence, then, she would use. Through long years had she persisted, through long years would she continue to persist? A succession of Chippewa squaws broke, stole, and skirmished their way through her kitchen with various degrees of success, generally in the end departing suddenly at night with whatever booty they could lay their hands on. It is but justice to add, however, that this was not much, a rigid system of keys and excellent locks prevailing in the well-watched household. Miss Lois’s conscience would not allow her to employ half-breeds, who were sometimes endurable servants; duty to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
required, she said, that she should have full-blooded natives. And she had them. She always began to teach them the alphabet within three days after their arrival, and the spectacle of a tearful, freshly caught Indian girl, very wretched in her calico dress and white apron, worn out with the ways of the kettles and brasses, dejected over the fish-balls, and appalled by the pudding, standing confronted by a large alphabet on the well-scoured table, and Miss Lois by her side with a pointer, was frequent and even regular in its occurrence, the only change being in the personality of the learners. No one of them had ever gone through the letters; but Miss Lois was not discouraged. Patiently she began over again—she was always beginning over again. And in the mean time she was often obliged not only to do almost all the household work with her own hands, but to do it twice over in order to instruct the new-comer. By the unwritten law of public opinion, Dr. Gaston was obliged to employ only Protestant servants; by the unwritten law of her own conscience, Miss Lois was obliged to employ only Indians. But in truth she did not employ them so much as they employed her.
Miss Lois received her young friends in the sitting -room. There was a parlor with Brussels carpet and haircloth sofa across the hall, but its blinds were closed, and its shades drawn down. The parlor of middleclass households in the cold climate of the Northern States generally is a consecrated apartment, with the chill atmosphere and much of the solemnity of a tomb. It may be called the high altar of the careful housewife; but even here her sense of cleanliness and dustless perfection is such that she keeps it cold. No sacred fire burns, no cheerful ministry is allowed; everything is silent and veiled. The apartment is of no earthly use—nor heavenly, save perhaps for ghosts. But take it away, and the housewife is miserable; leave it, and she lives on contentedly in her sitting -room all the year round, knowing it is there. Miss Lois’s sitting -room was cheery; it had a rag-carpet, a bright fire, and double- glass panes instead of the heavy woollen curtains which the villagers hung over their windows in the winter—curtains that kept out the cold, but also the light. Miss Lois’s curtains were of white dimity with knotted fringe, and her walls were freshly whitewashed. Her framed sampler, and a memorial picture done with pen and ink, representing two weeping willows overshadowing a tombstone, ornamented the high mantelpiece, and there were also two gaily-colored china jars filled with dried rose- leaves. They were only wild-brier roses; the real roses, as she called them, grew but reluctantly in this Northern air. Miss Lois never loved the wild ones as she had loved the old-fashioned cinnamon-scented pink and damask roses of her youth, but she gathered and dried these leaves of the brier from habit. There was also hanging on the wall a looking-glass tilted forward at such an angle that the looker-in could see only his feet, with a steep ascent of carpet going up hill behind him.

When you go away on a work-trip do you have the necessary tools with you to avoid a catastrophe? These simple tips might help you when you swap your cramped little office for your hotel bedroom and have to work! It isn’t just downloading the necessary applications onto your laptop or tablet (iPad), it’s also knowing whether the programmes are suited to a mobile office. Is your email programme built for the road or adapted from a bigger application meant for a corporate network? Do the programmes work together on your laptop/tablet or do they freeze when your processor gets busy? These considerations can become big issues when you’re travelling. That’s something a friend of mine, knows all too well. He installed a new email programme on his laptop before leaving on a trip, but it wasn’t suited for mobile use. He had to uninstall it shortly before takeoff, but that disabled his backup email programme. That meant he couldn’t download any messages to his PC. “I could not fix whatever was corrupted with either a fresh download or a copy downloaded from the Internet,” he told me. There are contact-management to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
software programmes that let you integrate data with your personal digital assistant (PDA), so you can download and synchronise contacts, calendar appointments and notes. There’s also a web-based version for travellers who either lose their laptops/tablets or prefer to work from a desktop at their destination. A lot of the gadgets on which mobile professionals depend aren’t made with travellers in mind. For example, when my laptop battery ran out on a recent flight, a helpful flight attendant offered to recharge it in a “secret” outlet in the back of the plane. The batteries charged but when I got home, they were dead. The power source had to be replaced. I couldn’t really blame the airline. Phone plugs don’t always fit and neither do power outlets. It isn’t just internet connections that matter, but also hooking up to other devices such as cell phones, PDAs and laptops/tablets. Technologies such as Bluetooth let you communicate with other devices in an office or hotel room without the need for cables. The top barrier to working from a remote location was access to a highspeed data connection. Now fast wireless networks are springing up everywhere. Wi-Fi is as ubiquitous as cellular coverage and a majority of devices are Bluetooth-enabled.
Web-based applications are so important to the mobile office. The web is one of the most efficient ways for a mobile worker to gain access to a back-office system, intranet or database. My ISP offers a rudimentary application that lets me check my email from the web. I can’t remember how often I’ve had to use it because my email programme failed to work properly. But I do remember the last time. I was stuck at a meeting outof-town and my email account had sustained a spam attack of thousands of unsolicited messages that would have taken hours to download. Instead, I logged on to the web and deleted them all in seconds. Were it not for the web application, I would probably still be downloadingthe spam. One of the most innovative Web applications is GoToMyPC , which lets you access the desktop in your home or office through the web. Another useful application for mobile users is web conferencing services such as Microsoft Office LiveMeeting. Apple Mac has similar, if not even more applications to use on your mobile office. And now we have “The Cloud.” Cloud computing means using multiple server computers via a digital network, as though they were one computer. Watch this space.

Introducing Miss Penelope Penmaiden Carol-Ann Rudy
Dear Mabel: Tell your daughter you already have a husband – keep hers at home. Could it be he has a thing for you? Maybe he likes more than your cookies. Maybe he likes your buns. Try not feeding the cur, lock your door, and get a restraining order. Don’t YOU be such a wuss! Dear Miss Penmaiden: I have a friend who likes to micromanage me. Why, she even told me not to swish the wine in my wineglass the other night. She tells me I must cross my legs at the ankle when I’m sitting. She even had the gall to tell me I shouldn’t express affection for my husband in public – I shouldn’t even give him a peck on the cheek or allow him to put his arm around my waist. What’s the matter with her and what can I do about it? Don’t tell me to fugeddaboudit... Tired of Listening, Mafia Wife in Philadelphia

Dear Miss Penmaiden: I can’t stand it! My no-good, gittar-pickin’, smokin’, trash-talkin’ son-in-law will not stop hangin’ around my place. He makes a nuisance of himself thinking he’s helping me out when he ought to be home helping my daughter. He drops off his laundry and eats all my baking and cookies. My husband is no help; he is a wuss. What can I do to shoo this free-loader away?

Dear Miss Penmaiden: Could you settle an argument for my husband and me? There’s this new-fangled thing called deep-fried butter on a stick. He’s been making them and has put on 30 pounds. Morning, noon, and night, that’s all he eats. How can I get him off this fad and back onto a healthy diet? I sure don’t appreciate the fat that’s rolling off him, in bed or anywhere else. He sits down in his leather chair and slides right off. When he’s amorous in bed, I slide right off.
Dear Frustrated and Fed-up Fred: Yes – try handing her back to her mother, if she’ll have her. If not, try handing her a dust-mop, ditch the slippers, and hide all her bathroom goodies and clothes until she promises to be good – and makes good on her promise.

Dear Gracie: If I understand you right, he expects life to continue as before where the two of you are concerned. Do what he does – but slide OUT of bed, as soon as you get into it – and sleep on the sofa. He should soon take the hint. Tell him he has to throw out the butter or he can slide right out the door. Dear Miss Penmaiden: My girlfriend moved in with me a month ago and has changed from a neat lady into a slob. She wears pink rabbit-eared slippers whenever she’s here and they are picking up dust and looking ratty. She leaves the toothpaste cap off and leaves everything else she uses sitting out on the bathroom counter. She doesn’t pick up her clothes; they are scattered all over the apartment. I like her, but not her habits. Any suggestions how I can get her back to being neat and tidy?
Dear Miss Penmaiden: How can I eat a jelly-roll without dropping crumbs? My mom says I’m messy.
Dear Dude: Have you heard of a fork? Dear Miss Penmaiden: Every time I color my hair my husband calls me Little Orphan Annie, because it’s red and frizzy. He even went out and bought me a dog named Sandie. The final straw was yesterday when he shaved his head bald. Now he insists I call him Daddy Warbucks. How can I get out of this cartoon? Trapped in a Comic Strip Life, Norma in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Dear Trapped: Change characters. How about becoming luscious Lois Lane with black locks from the Superman comic strip? Only trouble is, can your husband live up to being cast as Superman? Only you know the answer to that one!

iSports Slugger Thorne joins 600 club
Writen by : Victoria Anderson
APPLY SUNSCREEN PROPERLY.
The end of the school year is here and savvy moms and dads by now have made all the arrangements for summer. Summer camps and leisurely days at the pool or beach are just a few of the summer rituals for many families. However if you're tempted to let your child play outdoors for even a few minutes without proper sun protection, you might want to think twice. Adolescence and childhood are critical periods during which exposure to UV radiation is more likely to contribute to skin cancer in later life. Children with fair skin, blond or red hair and blue or green eyes are at the highest risk of sunburn. But darker-skinned children also need sun protection. With this in mind, it’s important that parents teach their children how to enjoy fun in the sun safely.
LIMIT OUTDOOR PLAYTIME BETWEEN 10A.M. AND 4P.M.
Apply a thick, even coat to all exposed areas 20 - 30 minutes before your child goes out in the sun. Choose a sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 or higher. Make sure it's labeled "broad spectrum," which means it blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. For your little ones, sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide should be selected as these compounds are less irritating than others. Sunscreen sticks are best for the face because they are sweat proof and less likely to drip. Don't forget nose, ears, hands, feet, shoulders, and behind the neck; lips can also burn, so apply a lip balm with SPF protection. Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, or after sweating or swimming.
COVER FROM HEAD TO TOE. Wearing protective clothing and hats is one of the primary ways of warding off UV damage. When wet, light coloured clothing transmits just as much sunlight as bare skin. Keep your kids covered with dark colours, long sleeves, and pants whenever possible. And don't forget the accessories: sunglasses with UV protection to guard against burned corneas, and hats to prevent sunburned scalps and faces. Protective clothing, hats with wide brims, and sunglasses are just as important for babies. At the beach, bring along a large umbrella.
Parents, you are the best teacher by practicing sun safety yourself. If your child sees you following sun safety rules, he'll take them for granted and follow suit. Teach every member of the family how to protect their skin and eyes. With proper supervision, children can learn to protect themselves and enjoy summer fun without sacrificing the health of their skin.
Avoid unnecessary exposure when the sun's rays are at their strongest. Even on cloudy or cooler days, ultraviolet (UV) rays remain strong. Shady spots can be just as tricky because of reflected light. If your child is playing outdoors during these hours, make sure to apply ample sunscreen.
WATCH OUT FOR MEDICATIONS. Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to ask your doctor whether your child may be at risk. Prescription antibiotics and acne medications are the most notorious culprits, but when in doubt, ask.

DETROIT (AP) -Minnesota slugger Jim Thome becomes the eighth player to hit 600 home runs, connecting twice against the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. The 40-year-old Thome hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for No. 599, then added a three-run shot in the seventh. The milestone came on a 2-1 pitch from Daniel Schlereth. Both homers were hit to the opposite field. When No. 600 cleared the fence in left, Thome raised his right fist as he went around first base, and the crowd in Detroit came to its feet to applaud him. Thome became the secondfastest hitter to reach the milestone, hitting his 600th homer in at-bat No. 8,137. Babe Ruth needed only 6,921 at-bats. His 65 home runs against Detroit are his most against any team. The Tigers posted a congratulatory message on the scoreboard after Thome’s homer, and the Twins came out to greet him at home plate. Fighting injuries during a frustrating season in Minnesota, Thome hasn’t received nearly the amount of national publicity that his predecessors who reached the milestone did. Even Derek Jeter’s accomplishment of 3,000 hits earlier this season dwarfed the attention Thome has been getting for a chase that’s far more rare. Only seven hitters have hit more home runs than the bulky Thome: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa. Rodriguez joined the 600-homer club last August.

Several Cayman Islands athletes traveled to Trinidad to compete in the Sagicor Open National Track and Field Championships on 1314 August. Carlos and Carl Morgan placed 1-2 in the long jump as Carlos’s 7.54 metre best mark measured a mere three centimetres further than his brother’s longest effort. Ronald Forbes took second in the 110 metre hurdles as he clocked 13.81 seconds for the event. Richard Phillips of Jamaica was victorious in a time of 13.61seconds. David Hamil posted a windy 10.57 to take the fifth spot in the invitational 100 metre dash. Rymiech Adolphus placed seventh in 10.59. At the 200 metre distance David gained third-place honours with a 21.39 second performance, with Rymeich one place back at 21.44. The quartet of Rymiech, David, Carl and Carlos combined for a fourth-place finish in the 4 x 100 metre relay. The Trinidad and Tobago entry won in 39.71 seconds, with Puerto Rico runner-up at 39.97. A number of outstanding performances were attained by athletes from the host country. Richard Thompson set a national record for 100 metres with a 9.85 mark, as seven of the eight finalists ran 10.17 or faster, all bettering the world championship qualifying mark. Rondel Sorillo set a meet record at 200 metres with a 20.16 mark, a time which also was quick enough to qualify for worlds. Jehue Gordon also bettered the standard with 48.75 in the 400 metre hurdles. Quincy Wilson was the sole competitor in the discus throw and reached 59.60 metres to break his own national record.
