WESTSTAR: “NO SALE” Photo by Christopher Tobutt

Mystery over proposed TV station deal Tad Stoner

tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Mystery surrounds the $80 million sale of WestStar TV, Cayman’s only cable-TV operator, to a US company controlled by global telecommunications expert Robert Taylor. iNews Cayman has seen the 10page application to subscribe to shares in the acquiring company, Cayman Taylor Cable Holdings, and a 13-page investment prospectus for the acquisition.

The prospectus, dated February 2012 and titled “Project Island”, describes itself as an “investment summary”, and states Mr Taylor “has a definitive agreement to acquire WestStar Ltd “, naming the $80 million purchase price, “plus another $10 million in a possible earnout” for a “total consideration of $90 million.”

An “earn out” is an additional price paid for a company, based usually, on future earnings, providing an incentive for

UK budget: how much to help the rich?

LONDON (AP) — Fifty pence doesn’t buy you very much in austerity-hit Britain — except for a great deal of attention and heated argument.

This Wednesday, George Osborne, the U.K.’s finance minister, will unveil his budget, the annual update of the state of the country’s economy and the coalition government’s plans for tax and spending for the year. This time round, attention has focused on what Osborne is going to do with the “50p” tax — political shorthand for the 50 percent top-rate income tax rate — on annual income above 150,000 pounds ($238,000).

Osborne is widely expected to announce a reduction, thereby casting doubt on the argument pushed by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and his finance minister that everyone in the U.K. is feeling the pain of austerity and that “we’re all in this together”.

In Britain, middle - and lowerincome families have been feeling the pinch since the financial crisis hit the U.K. in 2008 and the higher spending of the preceding Labour government sparked a series of stiff austerity measures. Real incomes have fallen since then while unemployment has hit a 17year high. Inflation, currently 3.4 percent, peaked at 5.2 percent last year while income growth bobbed along at 2 percent or less. Household spending has been further crippled by above-inflation rises in fuel and energy prices.

Britain’s economy grew less than 1 percent last year, and isn’t expected to do much better this year. Osborne is on course to finish the current fiscal year at the end of the month with a deficit of 122 billion pounds ($193 billion), compared to 145 billion pounds the year before. Borrowing peaked at 151.7 billion pounds in 2009-2010, the last year of Gordon Brown’s Labour government.

Public sector debt, excluding temporary financial interventions, was 779 billion pounds when

Cameron took office in May 2010, following two years of heavy spending as the nation slid into its deepest recession since World War II. Debt has now climbed past the trillion pound mark.

Osborne’s budget options are hemmed in by his commitment to cutting annual deficits, by the slow growth of the economy, the demands of the government’s centrist coalition partner and ratings agency skepticism about whether Britain can keep its cherished triple A credit rating.

“The idea that George Osborne is saying the No. 1 priority is to cut taxes on salaries of 150,000 pounds, they can’t be serious,” Ed Balls, who speaks for the Labour Party on budget issues, said over the weekend.

The 50p rate, announced by the former Labour government as an emergency measure in 2008 to tackling its spiralling deficit and implemented in the 2010-2011 tax year, was accompanied by the removal of some tax benefits for high income earners.

According to the independent think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, just 1 percent of U.K. income taxpayers earn enough to pay the 50p rate. Those same taxpayers receive 12.6 percent of taxable income in Britain, and pay nearly 28 percent of total income tax. The burden of the 50p rate falls most heavily on the 43,000 people who earn more than 500,000 pounds a year.

U.K. employers’ organisation the Confederation of British Industry wants the 50p rate abolished “as soon as public finances allow”

and argues that it discourages entrepreneurs and forces businesses to pay higher salaries to lure talent from lower tax countries.

Some Conservative legislators, meanwhile, see the high rate as a symptom of Labour distrust of entrepreneurs. However, lavishly paid bank executives have killed any hope of public sympathy by continuing to rake in huge bonuses.

Not surprisingly, a tax for rich people is proving popular with the less wealthy. A poll published

by The Guardian newspaper on Tuesday found that 67 percent of respondents wanted to keep the 50p tax, and that included 65 percent of those people who vote Conservative.

The telephone poll of 1,000 randomly selected adults was done

by ICM Research on March 16-18, and had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.

Among developed countries, Britain’s top rate was matched last year by Austria, Japan and Portugal; and exceeded by the Netherlands at 52 percent, Denmark 52.2 percent, Belgium 53.7 percent, Sweden 56.6 percent and Israel 57 percent, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

If Osborne does unveil a cut, it would stand at odds with U.S. President Barack Obama who is considering plans to impose a higher tax on the wealthiest citizens in the U.S. The debate over the U.S. tax — the so-called Buffett Rule — was sparked by the billionaire investor, Warren Buffett, who continues to call for tax reforms and a higher tax rate for his fellow wealthy investors.

Station boss insists there is no deal

Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Continued from front page management to strive for top performance, ensuring greater income from the sale.

The investment summary, while not naming Cayman Taylor Cable Holdings, describes Mr Taylor as a globally “accomplished entrepreneur and executive leader” in telecommunications and information technology and “currently a Senior Adviser to Duff and Phelps”, an investment advisory firm with strong interest in mergers and acquisitions.

Most recently, the New Yorkbased company has handled bids to purchase Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers Football Club.

The investment summary says the transaction would be financed through “$50 million to $60 million credit facilities, and $20 million to $30 million with equity”, a shareholding in the new company.

WestStar, it says, founded in 1993, also holds a 33% ownership stake in Bermuda Cablevision, Hamilton’s leading cable-TV provider, from which WestStar expects to earn US$4 million in 2012.

The cable company, according to the prospectus, with 140 channels and 12,800 subscribers, 55% of Cayman’s 23,100 residences, expects almost US$20 million in 2011 revenues and US$7.6 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, a classification intended to measure international earnings regardless of tax jurisdictions and varying capital structures.

While the subscription documents do not specify the total number of shares available in Cayman Taylor Cable Holdings Ltd, but state that “Bob Taylor shall have a controlling interest, indicating the company will go through a “regulatory subsidiary”, resulting in WestStar TV “post-merger”.

to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Chairman and CEO of WestStar TV, Rodney “Rod” Hansen, however, yesterday denied the company had been sold or was in the process of being sold, calling the story “a fabrication”.

Meanwhile, Dave Archbold, Managing Director of the regulatory overseer, Information and Telecommunications Authority, said the agency had neither approved nor been approached about a possible WestStar sale, which, he said, would have to gain a government go-ahead.

“We have no agreement to sell the company,” Mr Hansen told iNews Cayman yesterday, while acknowledging he was familiar with Mr Taylor.

“I know him and he has expressed interest in the company in the past,” Mr Hansen said, but denied any sale or intention to sell.

“I’m not working on an agreement.

There are no documents and no operations.

This is a fabrication, absolutely.

“I own the place,” he said, pointing out that any negotiations or agreements would necessarily include him, “and there is nothing. These are the facts of the matter and there is no agreement and I am not aware of any negotiations.”

Mr Archbold would say only that “we have had nothing formal. We have not approved any sale and we have not been approached.“ Locally, attorneys for Soiomon Harris confirmed their connection to Cayman Taylor Cable Holdings, saying “we’re not handling the subscriptions, but we incorporated the company” on behalf of Toledo, Ohiobased Niehaus & Associates attorneys-at-law.

Efforts to contact principal Charles Niehaus by telephone and email proved fruitless, as did attempts to contact Mr Taylor.

Mr Hansen’s final word was “do not call me anymore”.

National Gallery weaves relationships with Caymanian Artisans For several months, the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) worked vigorously preparing for the Grand Opening event that was held on the 1st of February. Now open, the NGCI has received generous compliments from all those involved with the new facility, who feel the entity will transform visual arts education in the Cayman Islands providing added resources for artists, school groups, families and visitors. As such, the 9000 square foot facility is quickly capturing the attention of the wider community.

One community group, the Cayman Islands Traditional Arts Council (CITAC), was given a special tour and lunch hosted by the NGCI director, Natalie Urquhart. The purpose of the tour was to familiarise the group with the new facility, to strengthen ties between the two organisations and to encourage the islands’ artisans skilled in traditional techniques to become further involved with the NGCI and its programmes. In an effort to cherish Caymanian heritage, works by many CITAC members are currently on display in the National Collection including well-known artisans such as Carmen Connolly, Annie Joy Ebanks, Rose May Ebanks and Edney McLean; demonstrating the

The NGCI is very thankful to CITAC for continuously supporting the NGCI at events like Art@ Governors, select exhibitions, courses and workshops; proving willingness to share their knowledge with younger generations and visitors — an essential part of promoting and preserving Caymanian art and culture.

The National Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Saturdays from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

“The Cayman Islands Dictionary goin’ strong still, Bobo!”

Boy look yah: eva since The Cayman Islands Dictionary© come out lass year, all kine ah people been buyin’ um up by da hondas n’ dey nah stoppin’ any time soon. Errybody n’ dey mama, from politicians ta doctas, fiyahmen, school teachas, bank people and ciwil serwants been colleckin’ copies fa demselves, friends, family, co-workas and overseas aquaintances. Dey say it ‘bout time Cayman had uwah own Dictionary cuz uwah chillrin’ needa know way we come from so dey kin know way dey goin’.

Who could have imagined that when Kevin M. Goring began collecting Caymanian words out of sheer passion and curiosity 12 years ago, that it would eventually lead to a product line and cultural movement. What began as a one man search for culture, is now being shared by hundreds of supporters who have expressed their approval of the Cayman Islands Dictionary©.

“It is ‘incredible!’”, said one proud owner of the publication which has also been called “the greatest Christmas gift ever!” by several other supporters.

While reflecting on the origins of the publication, Kevin said, “I was In college at the time and simply became interested in learning more about my culture.

I started researching words by interviewing my friends and family members, reading local books, and I even made several visits to the National Archive. After reviewing the massive collection of information that accumulated over several years, I decided that I should publish a dictionary. It’s just something that needed to be done, because the Cayman Islands are over 500 years old and we have never had our linguistic heritage documented for all to see.”

Featuring more than 1,000 words used in the Caymanian dialect, the Dictionary is the flagship in a line of products called

‘The ‘Caymanology© Collection’.

Based on a philosophy that all things Caymanian should be studied, preserved and promoted, Caymanology© is a movement towards heightened cultural awareness and native pride in the Cayman Islands. Through specialty products and programs, Caymanology© will seek to educate, entertain, inspire and empower Caymanians in an effort to promote authentic Caymanian culture to residents and visitors.

The Cayman Islands Dictionary© is the first official product release of the Caymanology© Collection, which Kevin hopes to expand throughout 2012.

Since the beginning of the year, Kevin has been approached by dozens of individuals who share an appreciation for the Dictionary and its importance to contemporary Cayman society. “I’ve been contacted via phone, text messages, email and even Facebook where supporters are thanking me for publishing this book. One person thanked me 1,000 percent, while others have stopped me in the street and in the supermarket to congratulate me on the publication.

to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Some have stated that their family and friends in countries as far away as Dubai are enjoying it. I’m quite thrilled that it is a quality product that has made a tremendous impact on our community. But most of all, I’m truly grateful that it is representative of our Caymanian culture. After all, that is the primary purpose of its creation” said Kevin.

Apart from Kevin, several advocates of Caymanian culture agree that a dictionary of local dialect is a positive step towards improving cultural awareness among the youth. This is especially true for the younger generations, who are being raised in a time where cultural traditions such as thatch making, basket weaving, iron shore fishing and kite making are being replaced by modern technologies.

At the request of several educators, Kevin hopes to meet with various schools and training centres in the coming months to promote the

Dictionary and the Caymanology© movement to students of all ages.

In an effort to keep the momentum going throughout 2012, Kevin will continue to promote the Dictionary via social media, raffles, special promotions and appearances at cultural events. Most recently, Kevin and a small team participated in the 45th Annual Agriculture Show on Grand Cayman and the Annual Sister Islands Agriculture Show on Cayman Brac. Visitors to the Caymanology© booths had an opportunity to purchase copies of the Dictionary and enter a raffle to win 3 complimentary copies of the publication. After receiving dozens of entries on both Islands, two lucky winners were selected: Dana Rankine on Grand Cayman, and Jenice Tatum on Cayman Brac.

Both winners have expressed an interest in sharing their additional copies with friends and family.

Chavez: April summit should be last without Cuba CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he thinks a bloc of leftleaning nations should attend the upcoming Summit of the Americas despite their opposition to Cuba’s exclusion.

Chavez (pictured) said he thinks members of the Bolivarian Alliance, or ALBA, bloc ought to attend the April 14-15 summit in Cartagena, Colombia, in order to demand Cuba’s future participation, the state-run Venezuelan News Agency reported.

“This will be the last so-called Summit of the Americas without Cuba. The next one wouldn’t

occur,” Chavez said in a phone call broadcast on state television Monday night.

He said a “good number of us” will advocate Cuba’s inclusion at the next such gathering.

“No more summits without Cuba’s participation,” Chavez said.

Chavez said he had discussed the matter with the leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Brazil.

In Brazil, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said earlier Monday that ALBA member countries had yet to decide whether to participate in the summit due to Cuba’s exclusion.

“We’re in the middle of discussing this issue. We think we aren’t in times of exclusion. We’re in times of inclusion,” Choquehuanca said after a meeting with Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota in Brasilia.

Members of the ALBA bloc demanded last month that Cuba be included in the summit, but stopped short of threatening a boycott while urging Colombia’s government to extend an invitation.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos visited Havana earlier this month for talks with Cuban President Raul Castro, and said no consensus had

been reached on the question of Cuba’s participation.

The ALBA group, which was Chavez’s brainchild, is made up of Antigua and Barbuda, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Venezuela.

Clinton wades into Amelia Earhart mystery WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is wading into one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries: the fate of American aviator Amelia Earhart, who went missing without a trace over the South Pacific 75 years ago.

Clinton will meet Tuesday with historians and scientists from The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, which is launching a new search in June for the wreckage of Earhart’s Lockheed Electra plane off the remote island of Nikumaroro, in

what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati. Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared July 2, 1937, while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island. Searches at the time uncovered nothing.

The group believes Earhart and Noonan may have managed to land on the island, then known as Gardner Island, and survived for a short time. Other historians believe they crashed into the ocean. But conspiracy theories, including claims that they were U.S. government agents captured by the Japanese before the Second

World War, abound despite having been largely debunked.

One senior U.S. official said a new analysis of a contemporary photo of a portion of the island shows what some people believe could be a strut and wheel of the plane protruding from the water. The administration takes no position on the purported evidence and acknowledges there is fierce debate on the subject.

The expedition will coincide with the 75th anniversary of Earhart’s departure on the ill-fated attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world. Previous visits

to the island by the group have recovered artifacts that could have belonged to Earhart and Noonan and suggest they might have lived for days or weeks after landing on a reef.

French school killer may have filmed shootings TOULOUSE, France (AP) — A gunman who killed four people at a French Jewish school may have filmed the attack, the interior minister said Tuesday, as hundreds of police combed southern France for the killer, suspected in three other deaths.

Interior Minister Claude Gueant said the attacker was “wearing around his neck an apparatus” that could be used to film and post video online. He said that gave investigators new clues to the killer’s “profile,” though he admitted that they don’t appear to

be close to an arrest.

Gueant described the suspect as “someone very cold, very determined, very much a master of his movements, and by consequence, very cruel.”

Asked whether the gunman recorded the scene, Gueant responded, “We can imagine that.”

But he added that authorities have not yet found any images of the killings online.

Gueant was speaking in the city of Toulouse, where an unidentified assailant opened fire at a Jewish school Monday, killing a rabbi and

his two sons and the daughter of the school principal. Authorities say one of the same weapons was used in killings of three French paratroopers last week.

Schools around France are holding a moment of silence Tuesday to honour the victims of the shootings.

President Nicolas Sarkozy is meeting with members of France’s Jewish and Muslim community. France has the largest population of Jews and Muslims in Western Europe.

The paratroopers targeted last

week, also in the Toulouse region, were of North African and French Caribbean descent. Concerns mounted about a suspected racist and anti-Semitic serial killer.

OPINION

The Editor speaks

Northward, crime, building and still missing

Colin Wilson colin.wilson@ieyenews.com

My Editorial on the problems at Northward Prison certainly stoked some fires and I am pleased to report that the guards are now trying to stamp out the blatant throwing of drugs over the perimeter wire fence by ‘friends of the prisoners’. That this had been allowed to continue almost unabated for so long is still a reason for some concern.

The statement by Eric Bush, Chief Officer in the Portfolio of Internal and External Affairs, which has responsibility for the local prison system, that “contraband, including drugs, alcohol, weapons and cell phones, are not uncommon in prisons around the world” does not give me any comfort. Is he saying that this ‘normal’ practice is therefore “OK here”?

I can also vouch for the statement made by a prisoner that appeared on CNS recently that ganja was used openly while he was there, with officers turning a blind eye to its consumption, as an ex-prisoner told a similar story to me. However, I had not heard of the ‘potent homebrew’ prisoners were making from their breakfast cereal and

stolen yeast!

I would not want Mr Bush’s job and I can see from his statistics that people are being caught and punished for using drugs at the Northward prison but it would appear that drugs is still a major problem there and other solutions must be found. And as for being a prison officer who is locked up with the prisoners – that job must be for a very special kind of person.

Extremely dangerous and poorly paid for what they have to do.

“I would like to commend the men and women in the Prison Service for their honourable and dedicated service to the people of the Cayman Islands and encourage them to keep their heads high and continue to serve their country well,” Mr. Bush said. I can concur with him there.

I must commend again Lemuel Hurlston and his team for the well put together and timely document they compiled that was submitted to the FCO from the open public consultation they executed here.

The UK revealed that people from the Cayman Islands submitted the most responses of any territory, making up 35% of the submissions.

The growth in crime rates was discussed more frequently than

any other issue and contributors from the Cayman Islands raised over half of the concerns regarding crime. Our problems with gang crime was raised by the Cayman government’s own submission.

With one attempted robbery and another actual robbery, both with the perpetrators brandishing guns at the weekend, even more fuel is added to the problems we have.

The interesting fact that the UK could and should help more was highlighted. But will they?

With the announcement on Monday (19) that Clan Construction Ltd, a Cayman-based company, has been selected as the general contractor to supervise and build phase one of the Narayana Cayman University Medical Centre (the Shetty Hospital) we did have some good news to report.

Groundbreaking is expected in August so at long last something is happening. Phase one of the facility will include at 140-bed tertiary care hospital.

It was so sad to see the parents of the missing teacher’s aide, Nathan Clarke, having to leave these islands with no answers as to what has happened to their beloved son.

“It is now three weeks since our

son (and brother to Sam and Dan) Nathan went missing and we leave the island none the wiser as to what has happened to him,” his parents said in a statement that was released to us by the RCIPS. We don’t have a good record of finding missing persons here and there are currently three now with no real clues as to what actually happened. Rumours and theories abound but they are no comfort to the family and friends of Nathan.

“We cannot express enough our gratitude to the 100s of volunteers for their ceaseless searching, unending concern for our welfare and their generosity in making sure everything we could ever need was at our disposal, they said. “We leave here feeling numb and helpless but take with us an understanding of Nat’s life here. The love and respect you all have for him gives us hope that answers will soon be found.”

What a generous statement these beautiful people left behind with no recriminations at the inability of the RCIPS to solve the mystery. iNews Cayman joins everyone else with our condolences and we hope the police will still keep their investigations ongoing to all three of the missing persons.

DoA celebrates farmers Areon Anglin collects Youngest Farmer of the Show trophy from Ministry’s representative Mr. Jonathan Jackson.

Members of the public and agriculture sectors receive recognition from DoA.

Paul A. Bodden walked away with Minister’s Award for Most Outstanding Farmer of the Year at the 45th Agriculture Society Awards evening held at the Stacy Watler Pavilion in Lower Valley this past Saturday.

The trophy was presented to Mr. Bodden by Speaker of the House Hon. Mary Lawrence in front of his family members and about 80 other members of the agricultural community. Also in attendance was MLA Mr. Anthony Eden. Representing the Deputy Premier Hon. Juliana O’ConnorConnolly and Chief Officer Mr. Alan Jones of the Ministry of District Administration, Works, Lands & Agriculture was Acting Deputy Mr. Jonathan Jackson, Director of Agriculture Mr. Adrian Estwick and President of Cayman Islands Agriculture Society Mr. Errol Watler.

The awards night recognised participants at the 45th Annual Agriculture Show, which was held on 22 February.

Mr. Bodden also received other awards: Livestock Farmer of the Year - Grand Cayman; Champion Exhibitor - Livestock Farmer, Best Sow; Champion Exhibitor – Cattle and Champion Exhibitor - Pigs – second place.

Mr. Kent Rankin captured the top Crop Farmer of the Year and was runner up as Top Livestock Farmer and Champion Exhibitor – Pigs.

Deputy Premier Hon. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly congratulated all the farmers for their hard work, determination, consistency in delivering good produce and their continuous efforts to improve the

16

agriculture sector.

“Mr. Bodden has been one of Grand Cayman’s leading cattle farmers for many years. In the past few years, he has expanded his herds and is now the largest cattle farmer on the island as well as one of the leading pig producers. His achievements have not only been in the scope of his production, but more so in his relentless drive to improve the quality of his stock through better livestock genetics and feeding,” the Deputy Premier noted.

She also cited his willingness to share his knowledge and expertise, particularly to help younger and newer livestock farmers.

Ms O’Conner-Connolly also praised Mr. Rankin for his drive for excellence. “He continues to be one of the largest and most successful crop farmers on the island. He operates the largest shade house production facility in the Cayman Islands, producing a variety of high quality vegetable crops including tomatoes, sweet peppers and cucumbers. In fact, during the peak of this year’s production, Mr. Rankin was averaging in excess of 2000 pounds of high quality slicing tomatoes per week,” she reminded the gathering.

A total of 31 trophies were awarded to farmers and exhibitors in crops and art and craft. Additionally, 14 individuals were recognised for their contributions to the Department of Agriculture. Three Districts, seven Corporate Service and six Exhibitor awards were presented.

Mr. Elio Clarke dominated the Rodeo Awards, including that of Champion Wrangler. Bodden

Proud Bodden Towners display their trophy.

Town took first place in the district category. Mr. Hamil Stephenson was cited as Most Improved Crop Farmer and Mr. Jose Bodden the Most Improved Livestock Farmer.

Mr. Carton West took first place honours for Home Products and Mr. William Ebanks had similar honours for Roots, Tubers, Fruits, Nuts and Grains. Mrs. Colleen Gibson was tops in Handcraft.

Five-year-old Master Areon Anglin was awarded as the Youngest Farmer at the Show and placed third as Champion Exhibitor -- Goats.

Ms. O’Connor-Connolly also thanked the Department of Agriculture and CIAS for their hard work. “The agriculture sector has seen tremendous improvement over the past five years due to a combination of government policies, introduction of new technologies by the department and a shift in market demand, as a result of years of active marketing and promotion of local produce and the benefits of eating locally,” she stated.

She noted that some of the

changes in livestock have included the opening of an abattoir, increased livestock extension, improvements in nutrition and genetics through greater emphasis on and acceptance of artificial insemination. In crops, continued extension and education, introduction of new technologies such as shade houses and promotion of backyard production have all had a positive impact, the Deputy Premier said.

Mr. Estwick thanked everyone for their participation. “I was very impressed with quality of exhibits at the show. Overall, the support of the public in their attendance was welcomed and hopefully indicative of their interest in and support of local agriculture.”

He also congratulated and thanked the staff at the Department of Agriculture and CIAS for their “excellent contribution to ensure that the 45th Annual Agricultural Show was a huge success.”

Otitis Externa Dr. Lynn Dawber info@ieyenews.com Dr Lynn Dawber, a South African national, joined the International Medical Group from New Zealand. She is a welcome additional to our family and we look forward to our patients (new and existing) meeting her.

Otitis externa is an inflammation of the ear canal. The inflammation may be caused by infection, allergy or other causes. Treatment with ear drops is usually effective.

Recurrences can often be prevented by the tips given below.

What is otitis externa?

Otitis means inflammation of the ear. The inflammation is usually due to an infection. Otitis externa means that the inflammation is confined to the ear canal and does not go further than the eardrum.

What causes otitis externa?

Otitis externa is an infection of the skin of the ear canal and is very common. It often occurs ‘out of the blue’ for no apparent reason.

In general, the infections are caused by a bacterial infection.

Occasionally, they can be due to a fungal or yeast infection.

Some people are more prone to otitis externa. If you get water, shampoo, soap, hairspray, etc, in an ear then it may cause it to itch.

You may then scratch or poke the ear. This can damage the skin in the ear canal and cause inflammation.

Inflamed skin can quickly become infected. A vicious circle may then develop. The inflammation and infection cause more itch, you then scratch more, which then can makes things worse.

Other possible causes of otitis externa include: • Swimming. Otitis externa is five times more common in regular swimmers compared with nonswimmers. It is due to the water which gets into the ear canal. In fact, otitis externa is sometimes called swimmer’s ear.

• Weather. Otitis externa is more

likely to develop in hot, humid, and ‘sweaty’ weather. It is more common in hot countries.

• Skin problems. Eczema or psoriasis may affect the ear canal and cause an otitis externa.

• Ear syringing to clear earwax. This may irritate the ear canal and cause inflammation.

• Middle ear infections. Sometimes middle ear infections (otitis media) can produce some discharge for some time which can then cause otitis externa.

What are the symptoms of otitis externa?

The symptoms of otitis externa can vary between cases. Common symptoms include itch, ear discharge, temporary dulled hearing and pain. Your ear may feel blocked or full. One or both ears can be affected.

Sometimes the glands in your neck or around your ear can become enlarged and sore.

What is the treatment for otitis externa?

Most people with otitis externa are given treatment without having any tests as the diagnosis is usually clear from examination of your ear.

However, your doctor may decide to take a swab (specimen of the discharge) to find out which germ is causing the infection. This helps to guide the choice of antibiotic ear drops to use. (Some germs are resistant to some types of antibiotic.)

Ear drops or sprays A doctor or nurse will usually prescribe a short course of ear drops or an ear spray. These usually contain an antibiotic to clear any infection and a steroid to reduce the inflammation and itch. It may take a week or so of treatment for symptoms to go completely. There are several brands of drops or sprays used to treat otitis externa. If one does not work well then a doctor or nurse may advise changing to another brand with different ingredients.

When you use ear drops: • Lie with the affected ear upwards.

to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

• Put several drops in the ear and lie in this position for 1-2 minutes.

• Press the cartilage at the front of the ear canal a few times to push the drops deep inside the ear canal.

General measures As a rule, do not leave balls of cotton wool in the ear canal. This stops the discharge (debris) which needs to come out. However, if the discharge is heavy, you may need to place some cotton wool lightly in the outer part of the canal to mop up the discharge.

If you use cotton wool, replace it frequently with a fresh piece.

You should not try to clean your ear canal with cotton buds. If you stick buds or other objects into your ear they may damage and irritate the inflamed skin, and make things worse. Just clean the outside of the ear with a cloth when any discharge appears.

Painkillers Tylenol (paracetamol) or advil (neurofen) are often sufficient.

Stronger painkillers are occasionally needed. If you hold a hot flannel against the ear it may also ease pain.

Further treatment Other treatment may be needed if the inflammation is more severe or if the above measures do not work within a week or so. These may include: • A doctor or nurse may clean the ear canal. They do this by using cotton wool on the end of a special stick which is gently pushed inside the ear canal to mop up any discharge or debris. Sometimes gentle suction or syringing is used. This removes the discharge lying in the

ear canal.

• Sometimes a gauze wick is soaked in ear drops and is pushed into the ear canal. This gets the drops right to the end of the ear canal, particularly if it is very swollen.

• If your infection is particularly severe or there is infection in the skin around the ear (cellulitis) then you may be given antibiotic tablets.

How can I prevent further bouts of otitis externa?

If you are prone to otitis externa, to help prevent recurrences you should keep your ears dry and leave them alone! This means: • Try not to let soap or shampoo get into your ear canal. You can do this when you have a shower by placing a piece of cotton wool coated in soft white paraffin (eg Vaseline®) into the outer ear.

• Do not use corners of towels or cotton buds to dry any water that does get in the ear canal. This will push things further in. Let the ear dry naturally.

• Try not to scratch or poke the ear canal with fingers, cotton wool buds, towels, etc.

• Do not clean the ear canal with cotton buds. They may scratch and irritate, and push wax or dirt further into the ear. The ear cleans itself and bits of wax will fall out now and then.

• When you swim try to keep your ears dry. You can do this by wearing a tightly fitting cap that covers the ears. Some swimmers use silicone rubber earplugs, but only use them if they do not irritate the skin in your ear canal.

Morality: Part 2

Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

Giving does not have to be monetary, it can be in other forms, such as giving time or knowledge.

This bring us to our next example of morality reduction that has been in existence here. Many parents today are not giving enough time to their children. Children need to be nurtured. A parent’s wisdom, gained through a life time of experiences, needs to be imparted to their children. Children should be shown the value of giving and a feeling of concern for others. When I was a child growing up, school shootings where kids are killing teachers and fellow students, was virtually unheard of. Today, school shootings are occurring at an alarming frequency and not only in America. Thankfully that is one dreadful thing that hasn’t happened here. But we do have gang killings and armed robberies that are nearly always carried out by young persons including teenagers.

To me, part of the problem is due to parents not spending enough time with their children. Again it comes down to giving. In this case, it comes down to giving time and knowledge. Parents that do not give enough time to their children is another example of morality reduction within our society.

The films that come out of Hollywood today display another example of the immorality prevalent within our society. I am sorry to say that most of these movies really are to put it bluntly, garbage. Most of them lack the cerebral quality of the earlier films.

From technical perspective i.e. special effects, they are excellent, but from a cerebral perspective, they are appalling. They are only produced in order to make money for those who are producing them, without any understanding to the implications they may have on society, especially younger people.

18

Creativity is basically gone from Hollywood and many of the movies coming out today are remakes of successful earlier films. Once and a while a good film will be presented to the American public, but generally speaking most are junk. Most of today’s actors are not really household names. They come and go fairly quickly and lack the staying power of a John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, or Humphrey Bogart. These actors displayed a level of integrity and they new about the personification they were displaying to the American public.

They were not perfect, but they did display a higher level of morality.

Is our society spiraling downward into the oblivion of lost hope? I believe not. More and more we are seeing examples that display the positive value of giving. A case in point. Time Magazine finally got it right when they named rock star Bono, and Bill and Melinda Gates as the Persons of the Year for 2005.

They were named persons of the year not because of anything that happened at Microsoft and not because Bono is a rock star, they were named persons of the year for their charitable work and activism aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health. Finally a media organisation is recognising the value of giving.

Another sign of hope that we may be moving away from the mind set of excess and non-giving, can be seen in the enormous outpouring of giving monetarily in the wake of the recent worst natural disasters the world has ever seen. What is amazing is that Americans have not been giving readily to the current starving in Africa. Back in December 2005, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation issued a warning that nearly 12 million Africans face the immediate threat of famine. That warning went mostly unheeded. Perhaps

‘charity begins at home’ and we are in a recession but back in 2005 they were living the ‘good life’.

This lack of giving by Americans is often due to the lack of media exposure. World news on the American networks and CNN and Fox News Channel is 70% geared at American domestic/politics and 20% on celebrities than talk about the important world issues that don’t affect them. When I go home I first watch BBC World News (even if I have to suffer Jamie Robertson) and this is followed by the network versions of ‘World News’. What a contrast. We are lucky living here as we have access to both and we can also watch CNN International that doesn’t just concentrate on America. It is no wonder Americans have little knowledge of or any inclination to want to know what is going on in the rest of the world.

I am digressing. Giving on a continuous basis produces feelings of long-term happiness.

For countries to get back to their moral principles, giving to others in need is one way to move in that direction. We all need to fully get back to the mind set that giving and having less is of greater value then having more. We must move away from trying to produce short-term happiness via artificial means.

Artificial symbols such as what type of car you drive, how fancy your clothing is, or how many vacation homes you can acquire should be of less importance to any one who has some substance to them. The next time you find yourself propagating

one of these excesses, think of the 24,000 people per day that are dying of hunger. Think about the six million children under the age of five that will die of hunger each year. Think about the downtrodden, the abused, and the tortured. When you think about these things, giving makes more sense. Give what you can and when you can.

Albert Einstein once said “the value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.” What many people do not realise is that Albert Einstein was a deeply religious man. He knew that only a God could produce such a complex universe, and that such complexity could not have been produced by random chaotic events. He saw the order in the universe and the relation of the universe with God. He simply did not wear his religion on his sleeve.

He also had insights beyond physics in that he realised what truly gives a man a sense of happiness and inner peace.

Einstein had it right in that happiness does not come from what you hold, but really from what you give. No matter what your religious belief, a life-time of giving to those less fortunate then yourself, will result in long term happiness. Give it a try. You might be surprised at the feeling it produces. A glimmer of hope is on the horizon. This has always been a religious country with Biblical principles. Do not let it slip away. Don’t let us become like America. But we must all do our part. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Coming after the good news a captive dolphin in South Korea will be released back into the ocean, is an even better development for dolphins. The Swiss senate has passed provisions which will block the importing of dolphins and other cetaceans.

Their House of Representatives approved a ban on keeping captive dolphins, but the Senate chose to pursue a ban on importing them, which would mean when the dolphins living there now pass away, no new ones will be acquired so none will exist in captivity.

“I am pleased that keeping animals in this kind of way is viewed across party lines as unacceptable and to be banned,” said Antoine Goetschel, a Swiss lawyer. (Source: Reuters)

What prompted the legislature to consider banning dolphins in captivity was an incident at an amusement park, which caused dolphins to die needlessly. Eight dolphins were reported to have passed away at the park just in the last several years.

Wild dolphins don’t belong in captivity. Because they can swim 40 miles a day or more in the open ocean, putting them in small concrete pools is something like a form of torture. Not only do they swim long distances in ocean habitats, they are intelligent, curious, playful creatures that constantly explore their surroundings. Human-made pools–homogenous, tiny containers– lack the normal biodiversity wild dolphins interact with in the ocean.

As the WSPCA says, “In contrast, captive dolphins are forced to swim in endless circles in artificial habitats, interact with unfamiliar dolphins and other species, eat dead fish,

and perform behaviours that are unnatural and in some cases painful.

Captive dolphins also face exposure to human infection and bacteria, chemicals such as chlorine, and

suffer from stress-related illnesses.”

Most women, regardless of age, shape or size, perceive that they have body flaws and most believe their stomachs is their major problem area, followed by thighs, hips and last, but not least their rear ends.

These “problems” significantly increase for women who wear larger than a size 10 who describe their attempts to control their weight as unsuccessful.

Although diet and exercise are the best solutions for looking and feeling better, some women have also turned to shapewear, such as old-fashioned girdles and other undergarments for instant effect.

All the above manufacturers offer these slimming styles: 1. Higher necklines that support and minimize a full bust.

2. Vertical stripes, princess seams and single-breasted jackets that provide a slimming illusion.

Sleep apnea is more common than you think. I’d be willing to bet that at least a few of your close friends suffer from it too. Well, the information age now allows you to listen to thousands of different opinions and possible cures for whatever ails you.

Sleep apnea is no different.

Start with a basic search on multiple websites. Try the regulars like Yahoo, Google, and MSN. Try searching for “sleep apnea symptoms” or “sleep apnea treatment.” Some search engines are better for some types of information (Google seems to be especially handy for scientific searches) while others are not. Get a lot of different information sources.

Another great source of information for everything is wikipedia.org. Whilst I definitely don’t recommend trying to treat your sleep apnea yourself based upon the information you find (always see

a physician, we aren’t physicians and can’t give a medical opinion), wikipedia.org is a good place to start looking as it is ‘user edited’.

‘User edited’ means that anyone can conceivably change the information on wikipedia.org. It’s almost like a democracy of information presentation. Beware, though. Check the source of the information. There are numbered references.

Look for information specifically on understanding sleep apnea. Get informed and try to understand what sleep apnea is. There are a ton of great resources out there if you look hard enough.

iWatch ENTERTAINMENT Dame Edna Everage bids 57-year stage career adieu CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Dame Edna Everage, the Tony Award-winning drag act known for her purple hair and oversized rhinestone eyeglasses, will soon open her final stage show tour in Australia. It comes 57 years after her debut.

Barry Humphries, the actor and satirist who created Australia’s selfproclaimed housewife-superstar, wants to take the farewell show “Eat Pray Laugh!” to Britain and New York over the next two years following the two-month Australian tour that begins in Canberra on June 22, his publicist Kerry O’Brien said Tuesday.

At 78, Humphries said the time had come to retire all his various alter egos from the stage, the most famous of whom is Dame Edna.

“She’s a little weary of touring and strange hotels,” Humphries told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio in Canberra, explaining his

most enduring character’s decision to retire.

Another of Humphries’ characters, drunken Australian cultural attache Sir Les Patterson, will join Dame Edna on the farewell tour.

Dame Edna’s career began as the more dour, Mrs. Edna Everage, when she first stepped onto the stage of a Melbourne University review in 1955 in Humphries’ hometown of Melbourne.

She was “Auntie Edna” in the 1974 Australian comedy movie “Barry McKenzie Holds His Own,” in which she was made a dame — a British title that is the female equivalent of a knighthood — as part of the plot during a cameo appearance by the then-Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

Dame Edna was a staple of television and stage in Britain and Australia before Humphries won a Tony Award in 2000 for his Broadway show “Dame Edna, The

Office Space for Rent Cat 4 Hurricane Proof Building 2nd Floor Dorcy Drive.

Space from 150sq ft to approximately 1400sq ft

Royal Tour.” Its sequel, “Dame Edna, Back with a Vengeance,” was also nominated for a Tony, the leading U.S. theatre award, in 2004.

Humphries was not available for an interview on Tuesday.

The show’s producer, Dainty Group, described the show in a tongue-in-cheek statement as an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular in which Dame Edna promises to empower audiences as she meditates on the big issues of gender, ethnicity and climate change.

Branson says Kutcher is space line’s 500th client ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — British billionaire Richard Branson said Monday his venture to launch paying tourists into space has netted its 500th customer, and it’s none other than Ashton Kutcher.

Branson made the announcement on his blog, saying he gave the actor a quick call to congratulate him.

“He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself,” Branson wrote.

A representative for Kutcher did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Kutcher is among dozens of Hollywood types, international entrepreneurs, scientists, space buffs and others who have made deposits to be among the first to reach the edge of the Earth on Branson’s Virgin Galactic space line.

Branson has said the aim is to one day make traveling to space safe and affordable for the masses, not just those who can afford the current $200,000 ticket price.

Virgin Galactic is in the final stages of its test flight programme.

The company will launch its spacecraft from Spaceport America, a specially designed terminal and runway built in a remote stretch of desert in southern New Mexico.

The company plans to begin commercial operations next year.

Branson said he and his children plan to be on the first commercial flight.

Christine Anderson, executive director of the New Mexico Spaceport Authority, congratulated Virgin Galactic on Monday for selling its 500th ticket. She said

she’s looking forward to “the beginning of the commercial passenger space line industry.”

Virgin Galactic customers will ride in a six-seat spacecraft that looks like a small plane, with wings near the rear that sweep upward.

Once the craft and its mother ship reach a certain altitude, the smaller craft is released and its rockets are fired, pushing passengers back into their seats for the trip to suborbital space.

The spaceship features two large windows for each passenger, one on the side and one overhead, and small thrusters that allow the two pilots to maneuver the ship once in space.

Customers will get a 2 1/2-hour flight with about five minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth that until now only astronauts have been able to experience.

“I still sometimes have to pinch myself that it’s for real,” Branson said of the venture. “Ashton is joining a fast expanding group of true pioneers who are on their way to a life changing experience and a place in the history books.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Bolt says England will be home away from home Usain Bolt reckons London’s thriving Jamaican community could help propel him to another monumental Olympic performance as the sprinter seeks to repeat his triple gold-medal haul from Beijing four years ago.

With less than five months to go until Bolt defends his 100m, 200m and 4x100 metres relay titles, the 25-year-old remains characteristically relaxed and hopes his compatriots will roar him to victory.

“I’ve been waiting for this summer for four years so I’m going to enjoy every moment and put on a show for everybody around the world,” he told Reuters in an interview.

“The Olympic Games is going to be a massive thing for me and I’m really looking forward to it. It is going to be bigger for me than for most people because there are a lot of Jamaican people living in London. I know they will be going crazy so I have to put on a show.”

Over one million people applied for tickets to watch the men’s 100m final in the Olympic Stadium on Aug 5.

Bolt is also the favourite to win the 200m final on August 9 and hopes to be a key part of Jamaica’s team in the 4x100m relay final on August 11 - a title he also won four years ago.

Expectations will be high with fans seeing if Bolt can break his own world records in London having run the 100m in 9.58 seconds in the 2009 Berlin world championships.

Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG), recently told Reuters he believed Bolt could run it in 9.4.

“That’s nice to hear but, for me, when it comes to records, my saying is ‘anything is possible’,” Bolt said.

“I go out and train every day, work hard in every session, stay focused and do my best. Nobody knows what will happen.

“My coach (Glen Mills) is always giving me things to work

on so I improve in everything that I do and that makes me get better every day. Every Monday he will give me something else to focus on. I am lucky because I have the best coach around.

“Hopefully that will bring good things this summer and I can put on a show. People don’t always realise it, but I am training very seriously and very hard because I want to be a legend.”

FALSE START Bolt was disqualified from the 100m final in the 2011 World championships in Daegu, South Korea, for a false start as training partner Yohan Blake took gold.

Although

the

Jamaican’s

trademark composure was rocked, he is now getting back to top form.

“For me, my confidence is all about staying in good shape. If I’m in good shape, my confidence is really high, I feel at the top of my game and I don’t really worry,” he said.

“That’s when you see me dancing and having fun. But if I’m not in my best shape, then I don’t feel so good and I’ll be a little worried. For a lot of last year I wasn’t at my best. But this year I feel good and I know that as long as I’m at my best, I’ll be OK. “I can see that I am improving and getting better and that my timing is good and that helps you definitely. You know you’re on

track and that is a good thing.”

The Jamaican is currently starring in a television advertising campaign in which he races through the streets of London and he expects the city to embrace him again once the Games begin.

“People know me in London really well so I am expecting lots of support there and I am looking forward to entertaining the crowds. But the place I am most recognised is in Asia. I think any athlete who goes there gets mobbed,” he said in a interview arranged by Visa.

“It will be the same in London with the Jamaican people, but if I’m getting lots of attention, I’m happy.”

Cayman to host Club Championships The Cayman Islands will host Group 1 of CFU Club Championships from 25 – 29 March 2012 at the T. E. McField Playing Field (Annex Field).

Last season’s Cayman Premier League champions, Elite Sports Club, and runners-up, George Town Sports Club, and Bermuda Premier League champions, North Village Rams, will contest in three matches at the Annex Field.

The group winners and the best runners-up of the three groups will advance to the next round, which is to be played in Puerto Rico, against the Puerto Rico Islanders and Caledonia AIA of Trinidad in May. At a press conference held at the CIFA office, George Town SC Head Coach, Lee Ramoon, said: “From George Town SC’s perspective, it is a great opportunity, specially for our players in regards to be exposed to play in the region. Some guys had the privilege to represent the national team and play at that level; however, most of our players don’t get such an opportunity, so it is wonderful for our players to participate in this prestige event.”

Elite SC Head Coach, Gregory Ebanks, added that “It is a lifetime opportunity, and both Caymanian teams are looking to advance further and compete in Puerto Rico.”

I would like to thank God for giving us this opportunity to play, and I also want to thank the club members, coaching staff, fans, the Hon. Mark Scotland, the Minister of Sports, and CIFA to encourage and support Elite and George Town.

These are big games we will play here, and we need the support of our fans to use the home advantage.” said Jairo Sanchez, Elite SC and national team player.

“This is a big opportunity for all of us, and I am happy with all the support we are having. Thank you all for this. Sanchez is my team mate on the national team, and we have played some international games together, but, as a team, this competition will help us to get better, so we need everyone’s support to use this opportunity to qualify to

Sterling efforts from Cayman Pirates Continued from page 24

here) the Pirates’ played well and recorded an honourable 3-3 tie. Riley Mullen was pivotal, running in three tries and laying down a marker for the rest of the tournament.

With a full squad available for the second game, the Cayman Pirates led D.C. by 1-0 at the break. Neil “Monty” Montgomery was starting to pull the strings for Cayman. He scored the first and was instrumental in setting up tries for Sharlee Henshaw and Richard Gordon in the second half. However, D.C. demonstrated that they had plenty of mettle and increasingly built the pressure on the Pirates’ throughout the second half.

After scoring to make it 3-2, D.C. added a third in the dying seconds to hold the Pirates’ to their second 3-3 draw.

The Pirates’ third game was against pre-tournament favourites Fort Lauderdale A. They showed the Pirates’ a clean pair of heels and ran out 0-3 winners. Only some desperate defending by Joan Murphy and Marc Randall kept the score down and it showed that the Pirates would have to rack it up a gear or two if they were going to progress in the tournament. And they did. After a break in proceedings to take advantage of some of the isotonic drinks on offer, the Pirates’ stepped up for their final group game against Palm Beach. Determined ball-carrying

by Joanne Ziegler, Chandra Friesen and Michelle Bailey put Palm Beach on the back foot as Cayman controlled the game for large parts. Neil Montgomery was growing into his role as playmaker and pulled the Palm Beach defence in all directions. Sharlee Henshaw scored both of the Pirates’ tries, one in each half, with assists from Montgomery and Gordon.

Although there was no bonus point gained it was a thoroughly satisfying performance, and the result put the Pirates’ into the Third Place Play-off.

The best performance of the day was saved for their final game. By a quirk of fate, they were pitched against Palm Beach once more and it was clear that Palm Beach, wounded by their defeat in the final group game, was out to reverse that result. In order to offset this threat, the Pirates’ went through some pre-game visualisation techniques and then went out and performed like they know they can. Richard Gordon, who had previously been frustrated by his inability to burst through a gap all day, threw the most outrageous of dummies and ran clear leaving the Palm Beach defence standing. Dave Bailey, immense in defense, positively revelled in throwing himself around for last-ditch touches that both frustrated his opponents and inspired his teammates. Imbued with new confidence, the Pirates’ threw

the ball around and Montgomery set up Mark Robson for the easiest of touchdowns to make it 2-0. Gordon scored the third, when Montgomery threw a delightful back-of-the-hand pass – a try truly made on the Highveld of South Africa.

Mullen added the fourth before Steve Henshaw scored the Try of the Day. Marauding like the great pirate Captain Blackbeard himself, he ran half the length of the pitch to score by the corner flag, chased all the way by the speedy female winger from Palm Beach. The final score was 5-1.

Fort Lauderdale A went to beat D.C. in the final by 5-3.

The Cayman Pirates had won a worthy 3rd place in the tournament, a great result for a fine team. The tournament was a rousing success and all the teams are looking forward to next year when they can challenge each other once again.

Cayman come third at international touch championships

Mark Robson info@ieyenews.com

There are many great rugby tours that have gone down in folklore for the exploits of those brave souls that represent their homeland against the marauding hordes in their own backyard.

Thoughts spring immediately to the British and Irish Lions tours of New Zealand in 1971 and South Africa in 1997. On both occasions they were given little hope against the best teams in the world, and yet managed to defy the odds and return victorious.

Similarly, but with no less a feat of human achievement, there

was the stunning victory of the Isleworth Grammar School U16’s, where a certain flamehaired young winger, who later went on to infamy writing touch rugby articles in the Caribbean, side-stepped his way round the entire backline of Tadchester 1st XV’s to record a sensational hat-trick of tries that the local Gazette described as, “not too shabby for a little lad.” It’s funny how some things stick in the memory.

It is with these thoughts in mind that I turn to the sterling efforts of the Cayman Pirates at the 4th annual International Touch Rugby Tournament 2012 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

There is an old adage in rugby that says, “What goes on tour, stays on tour”. This, by definition, is problematic for a journalist so I will have to break just a little with tradition and give you the edited highlights.

Thirteen wide-eyed and finely-honed athletes made up the squad to represent the Cayman Islands. Inspirationally captained by Sharlee Henshaw, the Cayman Pirates took to the field for their first game of the day against Fort Lauderdale B. Playing against the odds and with half the team getting lost on the way to the ground (insert suitable conspiracy theory
