One of the world’s leading suppliers of anti-nuclear army vehicles has signed a major deal to protect Cayman’s borders. Smiths Detection supplies military equipment that helps identify explosives, chemical and biological agents, radiological and nuclear threats and weapons. Now they have announced their largest contract to date, providing high-energy X-ray cargo inspection systems to the Cayman Islands Customs Department. It will use special technology that can distinguish between organic and inorganic substances. The machinery is costing around $3m and should be in place by the start of 2012. It will hook to the side of a Heavy Goods Vehicle and then an arm is deployed and driven over the containers quickly revealing its content. Continued on page 5

Mutant mosquitoes may fight tropical disease
CAYMAN INSURANCE CENTRE LTD.
WINSTON PAMPHILE
Scientists have made a promising advance for controlling dengue fever, a tropical disease spread by mosquito bites. They’ve rapidly replaced mosquitoes in the wild with skeeters that don’t spread the dengue virus. More than 50 million people a year get the dengue virus from being bitten by infected mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical areas, including Southeast Asia. It can cause debilitating high fever, severe headaches, and pain in the muscles and joints, and lead to a potentially fatal complication. There’s no vaccine or specific treatment. Some scientists have been trying to fight dengue by limiting mosquito populations. That was the goal in releasing genetically modified mosquitoes last year at sites in the Cayman Islands and Malaysia. To ensure the safety of the Cayman Islands against Dengue fever and Yellow fever, Aedes aegypti was eradicated in 1974. Since then 30 reinfestations have occurred, and in each case the mosquito was eliminated. Mosquito Research and Control to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
Unit (MRCU) has a continual surveillance program to detect reinfestations as soon as possible so that action can be taken to prevent them from re-establishing in Cayman. Premises are constantly being inspected for mosquito larvae, a task that is becoming more time consuming as the number of properties rises. A network of over 300 ovitraps are checked weekly for egg laying. Almost every aircraft, vessel and container that enters Cayman is sprayed with insecticide by port disinsection officer from MRCU. Australian scientists took a different tack, they report in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. First, they showed that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the chief carriers of the dengue virus, resist spreading that virus if they are infected with a particular kind of bacteria. Then they tested whether these resistant mosquitoes could displace their ordinary cousins in the wild, thus reducing the number of denguespreading mosquitoes.The resistant
mosquitoes have an advantage in reproduction. Resistant females can mate with either resistant or ordinary mosquitoes, and all their offspring will be resistant. But when ordinary females mate with a resistant male, none of the offspring survive. For the experiment, scientists released more than 140,000 resistant mosquitoes over 10 weeks in each of two isolated communities near Cairns in northeastern Australia, starting last January. By mid-April, monitoring found that resistant mosquitoes made up 90 percent to 100 percent of the wild population. The result is a “groundbreaking first step,” Jason Rasgon of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore wrote in a commentary accompanying the paper. Rasgon, who did not participate in the study, said the next hurdle is to test the idea in areas where dengue is spread constantly, rather than sporadically as in Australia. “Researchers will also have to show it works against varied strains of the dengue virus”, he said.

iStrange Pa. school district backs off on skinny jeans ban CATASAUQUA, Pa. (AP) — Students in a Pennsylvania school district have gotten approval to remain fashion forward. The Morning Call of Allentown reports that Catasauqua Area School District approved a revised dress code this week. It allows students to wear so-called skinny jeans. The tight-fitting jeans had been banned under an earlier dress code. But parents complained they were having a hard time finding jeans that wouldn’t be banned under the district’s definition. Board member Patricia Snyder tells The Morning Call the district was trying to prevent students from wearing suggestive clothing. But ultimately the district determined jeans could be skinny but still appropriate. The board also gave in to requests to back off a ban on hooded sweat shirts. Low-cut tops, leggings and ripped pants are still barred.

CENTRE HALL, Pa. (AP) — A couple of Pennsylvania newlyweds are behind bars after police say they were caught shoplifting food from a supermarket for their wedding reception. The Centre Daily Times reports 32-year-old Arthur Phillips III and his bride, 22-year-old Brittany Lurch, were arrested Saturday after taking more than $1,000 in merchandise from a Wegmans supermarket in State College. Patton Township police say the couple was captured on surveillance footage loading a shopping cart and leaving the store without paying. The Centre Daily Times report says the Centre Hall couple admitted taking the items when arrested. Police say the newlyweds told officers they’d been married a couple days earlier and took the food for their wedding reception that afternoon. They are charged with misdemeanor counts and are being held on $2,500 bail.

Most advanced screening in the Caribbean Continued from front page

Smaller machinery will also be installed at the Post Office and the Customs Warehouse Courier Building. Jeff Jackson, Assistant Collector and NIIS Project Coordinator, Cayman Islands Customs, said: “Because we have seen an increase in criminal activity over the past several years in relations to drugs and firearms, there is clearly a need to integrate Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems (NIIS) technology into our clearance process. “It will not only enhance our capacity to help protect our islands’ integrity from imported threats, but also secure Government’s revenue and facilitate legitimate trade. “We also need to be in compliance with international and US security standards such as US 100% screening and Safe Port Act and they are welcoming this initiative. “As the Customs Department enjoys good cooperation relationship

with the port authority and the police, the acquisitions of these systems will also enable us to assist port security to ensure compliance with international standards and the police on our road networks. “Although no negative reaction is expected from the Trade community, we will make every effort to limit extra clearance time.” The technology used will make the system the most advanced Customs screening technology in the entire Caribbean. It uses Heimann Cargo Vision Mobile (HCVM) units that are able to thoroughly scan items quickly. Mr Jackson added: “The acquisition of the HCVM is the most advanced technology procurement of its kind in the Caribbean to date, demonstrating our commitment to combat drug smuggling and other prohibited/restricted items and safeguard customs revenue.” The system allows the detection of narcotics and other suspect substances hidden in standard commercial shipments.
Coupled with other HI-SCAN Cargo Inspection Systems, the full array of scanners will help reduce the need for manual inspections by showing customs officials that goods in containers match those declared on the manifest. Eduardo Parodi, Director of Sales for Latin America & Caribbean, Smiths Detection, said: “This is Smiths Detection’s fifth High Energy System deployed in the region. “All our systems have had a strong history of return on investment for their end users in terms of narcotics seizures as well as revenue collection. The effective use of advanced technology supported by our investments in regional service capabilities truly allows Smiths Detection to stand out among competing manufacturers.” Smiths Detection has more than 65,000 X-ray inspection units in more than 180 countries, 6,000 desktop explosives trace detection systems, 186,000 chemical detectors, and around 500 cargo inspection systems worldwide.

Marriott Courtyard Hotel

Governor Duncan Taylor has neither seen nor signed any applications to allow elected officials to trade any crown land to Dart Realty for a multi-million-dollar series of infrastructure projects. While Premier McKeeva Bush has said government and Dart Realty have signed a “heads of terms” agreement for a multi-million-dollar series of infrastructure projects, Governor Taylor has told iNews that he has seen no documents and signed nothing to allow disposal of crown land to the private company. “There are several laws that could be applicable in so far as disposal of crown land is concerned,” the governor said through his office. “All require either the governor or the governor-in-cabinet (Cabinet) to give formal approval. No such application or request in respect of the proposed deal with the Dart Group has to date been brought to the governor’s attention either directly or via cabinet,” he said. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
In a deal announced in mid-June, elected officials promised Dart Realty upwards of 300 acres of crown land in exchange for a $1.2 billion, 30year programme of infrastructure projects, including rejuvenation of the Marriott Courtyard and construction of one, possibly two, new hotels. Creation of parks, highways, schools and housing, and remediation of the George Town landfill also form part of the scheme. No start date has been agreed, however, and while Dart declined to comment, officials have said privately that they expect Mr Taylor will be asked for his signature when the full ForCaymanAlliance deal is finally completed. “There has been no agreement signed yet,” said one executive. “Negotiations are ongoing. There are a lot meetings and I think they are dotting their “i”s and crossing their “t”s. Mr Bush has said only that “the civil service is working on the details of the main agreement.

I’m sure Dart will be aware of the laws and the process which will need to be followed.” He said.

Apple says Steve Jobs resigning as CEO meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.” Apple said Jobs was elected board chairman and Cook is becoming a member of its board. The company said Jobs gave the board his resignation Wednesday and suggested Cook be named the company’s new leader. Over the past decade, though, Apple has emerged as a trendsetter and a wealth-making machine — the rare company that appeals to the cool cats hanging out in hip cafes and the fat cats looking to make another killing on Wall Street.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone, iPad and other devices that turned Apple Inc. into one of the world’s most powerful companies, resigned as the company’s CEO Wednesday, saying he can no longer handle the job. The move appears to be the result of an unspecified medical condition for which he took an indefinite leave from his post in January. Apple’s chief operating officer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO. In a letter addressed to Apple’s board and the “Apple community,” Jobs said he “always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer
Russians search for crashed spaceship in Siberia MOSCOW (AP) — Russian emergency workers are using helicopters Thursday in their search for the wreckage of the unmanned supply ship that crashed and exploded in a forested area in Siberia. The spaceship was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan some 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) southwest of the crash site. It fell after the third stage of its booster rocket failed a few minutes into the launch, in the Choisky district in Russia’s Altai province. It was the 44th launch of a Progress supply ship to the space station — and the first failure in the nearly 13-year
life of the complex. The Progress ship carrying almost 3 tons of supplies to the International Space Station was destroyed. The rocket failed barely a month after NASA’s final space shuttle flight. Without the shuttles, NASA now is counting on Russia, Europe and Japan, as well as private U.S. businesses, to keep the station stocked. The Russians will also be transporting astronauts to the space station until U.S. private industry can pick up the human load. NASA and its international partners want to keep the space station running until at least 2020.
Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said that the accident “would have no negative influence” on the International Space Station crew because its existing supplies of food, water and oxygen are sufficient.
Budget deficit slips to $1.28T; red ink continues WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of unrelieved gloom and discord, Congress and President Barack Obama are starting to make a dent in the federal budget deficit. It’s projected to shrink slightly to $1.28 trillion this year, and bigger savings from this month’s debt ceiling deal are forecast over the next decade. No one’s celebrating. There will be plenty of red ink for years to come. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected Wednesday that annual budget deficits will be reduced by a total of $3.3 trillion over the next decade, largely because of the deficit reduction package passed to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
by Congress earlier this month. The office also forecast persistently high unemployment, a troubling political prospect for President Barack Obama in the crucial months of his campaign to win a second term. Even with the anticipated big savings, annual budget deficits are expected to total nearly $3.5 trillion over the next decade — and much more if Bush-era tax cuts scheduled to expire at the end of next year are extended. In all, nearly $8.5 trillion would be added to the national debt over the next 10 years if the tax cuts and certain spending programs are kept in place, the budget office report said.

The Editor Speaks Bob Marley
Our story yesterday (Thu) that songs by the reggae colin.wilson@ieyenews.com greats Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, who practiced Rastafarianism, will appear in new Anglican Church hymnals in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, has produced much debate on the local air waves. Visiting Anglican Bishop of Kingston, Rt. Rev. Dr. Robert Thompson, in an interview with iNews embraced the inclusion of Marley’s music in the church hymnals. Marley’s “One Love” and Tosh’s “Psalm 27” would be the first reggae tunes to appear beside traditional worship music on the island where reggae was born. As a practicing “traditional” Anglican myself, I first heard Marley’s music played last year at St. George’s Anglican (Episcopal) Church on Courts Road, George Town, at a service commemorating Jamaica’s Independence. I felt ‘uncomfortable’ when “Three Little

Birds” and “Redemption Song” were played. I had the same feeling when this was repeated at this year’s Jamaican Independence Day service. Rev. Ernle Gordon, an Anglican Church spokesman in Jamaica said, “They may have been anti-church, but they were not anti-God or anti-religion.” To me, that is like taking the icing off the cake and only eating that. It’s picking out the part of a speech that is 90% damning and only using the 10% that is appealing. Bishop Thompson does admit that adapting some of the musical culture of the society could pose a serious problem to the modesty and divinity of the church if it is not properly managed. He added: “The danger is, if the church adapts too much of the contemporary cultures, it then cannot be distinguished from the rest of the world.” I think the Anglican Hymnal is very much open and will not be shut for a long time.

Hostility to Jamaican Church hospital Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com
The Diocese of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands are alarmed at a claim their hospital’s land may be confiscated for other purposes. The Nuttall Memorial Hospital, which is a privately run medical facility in Jamaica, is currently managed and operated under the ambit of the Diocese. The hospital has been at its current location for about 100 years, and has been providing most of the services offered by other major hospitals. Relocation of the hospital could mean less accessibility to its services by the public, and could consequentially put the institution out of business. A source in their administration, which requested anonymity, explained the Nuttall Memorial Hospital’s maternity ward serves many pregnant women in the area, and offers other vital medical services. Hospital board member and Bishop of Kingston, Right Reverend Robert McLean Thompson, said he is still not phased by the threats, and cannot foresee any such action by the Urban Development Corporation being achieved. “That is just an argument for the press, a representative from the UDC made some comments, but they can say what they want to say. “If the Government attempted such an action it would be greatly resisted.” Under the current Jamaican Constitution, initiatives to develop property, not owned by the UDC,

Nuttall Memorial Hospital cannot be started before the land is legally acquired. Unfortunately, for the hospital, plans are said to be afoot for the introduction of an act called the UDC Act, which, if passed, will abandon the obligation of the UDC to first purchase desired property before proceeding with plans for their development. The Bishop added that the hospital is currently in the process of a fiveyear development plan, and the administration and operation of the facility is fully functional. The Bishop also said the land is only the subject of the UDC’s contention because it is deemed to be commercially viable. “It is prime real estate, because it is located in the heart of the city, and it is the only open land in the area. “There is negotiation for the Army Base, to be relocated. They [UDC] believe it would enhance their business prospects if they can include the Nuttall Memorial Hospital land.” he said. Mrs. Joy Douglas, General
Manager of the UDC, is said to have made the statement, which was conveyed through the press. In his interview with iNews, the Kingston Bishop also said that the statement made by the UDC Manager was condemned in a letter written by another church Bishop. “The Right Reverend Howard Gregory, Bishop of Montego Bay, wrote a long piece to rebuke the comments made by the UDC representative.” said Bishop Thompson.

Bush speaks on the gov’t financial performance Edited statement by the Hon Premier and Minister for Finance on the results of the Government and the Public Sector for the Year Ended 30th June 2011: Much has been said in the last several months and accusations made about the prudence of managing governments finances. My purpose in speaking to you is to provide you with important information about the financial performance of the government and the wider public sector in respect of the financial year that ended on 30 June 2011 – that is the 2010-11 year. Let me start by recapping brief details of the 2010-11 budget that was presented to the Legislative Assembly on 15th June 2010. That budget indicated the following: Government’s revenue would be $510 million for the year to 30th June 2011; government’s operating expenses for the year were $508 million; Interest cost that would arise on government’s public debt would be $33 million; hence the central government was expected to have a deficit for the year of $31 million; when the performance of all statutory authorities and government-owned companies was aggregated, it was expected that the overall result would be a net deficit of approximately $1 million; therefore, the entire public sector – for the years 2010-2011 ending June 30 this year, consisting of central government, statutory authorities and government-owned companies – was expected to have a deficit of $32 million; So for the 2010-11 year, even these budgeted results were marginally better than the $34 million deficit stated in the agreed 3-Year FCO Plan that we agreed with the FCO. Let me now provide details of central government and the wider public sector’s actual, as opposed to budgeted, performance for the year that ended in June, of this year. Central government’s operating revenues totalled $535 million – which exceeded the budgeted performance by a full $25 million. Government’s operating expenses
12
Hon. Premier McKeeva Bush
for the year were $483 million; a material $25 million less than the budgeted Operating Expenses of $508 million for 2010/2011. This is a tremendous testament to the prudent and responsible management of the country’s finances by the government! I must immediately congratulate and thank all hard-working civil servants that contributed to this great achievement. Interest cost incurred during the year was $30 million – which was $3 million less than budgeted. Because we were managing prudently and watching carefully our revenues versus our expenditures, we stretched out the time before it became critical that we had to borrow the $155 million, and this in fact saved the country some $3 million dollars. The audit officers never took that saving into consideration when they talked about what we paid due to the financing negotiations. They never said we saved $3 million. Central government therefore achieved a surplus for the year of $22 million versus a budgeted deficit of $31 million. This is a turnaround of a whopping $53 million and it points to sterling efforts of the central government in guarding and enhancing the
Islands’ finances. Fellow Caymanians and residents of the Cayman Islands, these results will be sent to the Auditor General’s office for examination. My government expects that there will be normal adjustments arising from the audit process; however we do not expect significant revisions to the government’s results for the year to 30th June 2011. Government well understands the need for the provision of timely information, and the importance of certainty of information. We firmly believe that we have struck a good balance between these two factors by waiting until now, to announce this information. I should say that everyone knows how much the opposition berated me, before the new budget was presented, saying I wouldn’t reach the $15million surplus I was asking civil servants to achieve; but once again – the opposition is proven wrong, and I will continue to prove them wrong as the difference is, I have good ideas. I have the right plan to bring investment, give the government revenue and our people jobs. The opposition is at the opposite end doing nothing with no plan.

Complaints Commissioner - an office open to all residents
Cayman Islands Netball Association
Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
It was a bus ride into town that first gave Nicola Williams a sneak peek into everyday life in the Cayman Islands: “When I first came here, for ten days I took the bus along West Bay Road into the office. While I was sitting on the bus I could hear people grumbling about different arms of government, but coming to the conclusion there was nothing that could be done,” she said. It was that experience, when she moved here from the UK two years ago, which led Ms. Williams to believe that her office – the Office of the Complaints Commissioner, could and should do something about it. London born and raised, Ms. Williams practiced as a barrister in the UK for several years before being appointed as ombudsman specialising in police issues. In 1991 she won Cosmopolitan Magazine’s ‘Woman of Achievement,’ award in the ‘Professional’ category. Last year she was appointed as a part-time judge in the U.K, and is also distinguished by being the first woman President of the Caribbean Ombudsmen’s Association. Explaining the nature of her job, Ms Williams said: “The OCC (Office of the Complaints Commissioner) is here to make government work better - to hold them accountable when they get things wrong - and where we can, to help them put it right.” “The general work of the office deals with complaints, in writing or in person, pertaining to a total of 83 different government entities,” she said. “I can (also) do an investigation of my own motion,” she said. Own Motion Investigations (OMIs) typically involve a serious matter of national public importance. There have been two OMIs completed while Ms Williams has been Complaints Commissioner, an investigation into the Islands’ mental health law and regulations, and also an investigation into the to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

ability of the National Pensions Office to effectively inspect, monitor, charge and convict companies that were non-compliant with pensions legislation. The latest OMI involves a look at the effectiveness of enforcement of the 2007 Labour Law with regard to construction site safety. Ms Williams has also been involved in helping government entities set up their own internal complaints departments, and her office is actively engaged in monitoring their effectiveness: “We formally require them to submit quarterly reports on the number and type of complaints they get,” she said. Remarking on differences she has noticed since coming to live here, Ms Williams said, “One big cultural difference between here and the UK, which is both a positive and a negative thing depending on how you look at it, is that the Cayman Islands is a very small society, both in terms of geography and population. “The negative aspect of this is when I first came here many people had complaints but didn’t want to come to the office because of this – it was a confidentiality issue.” However, Ms Williams believes that that aspect has definitely
changed for the better. “The positive side of it is that good news travels fast. When people realised that we were confidential and also when they knew that we were prepared to investigate difficult and contentious subjects, more people started to come forward to make complaints. We now have, for the first time in the history of this office, 51 % (up from 32%) of complaints that are from Caymanians without a corresponding drop in complaints from expatriates,” she said. But Ms Williams is also particularly keen to point out that she is there to serve anyone who might have a complaint against a government entity, provided they have been here for at least six months. “This office is an office for all the residents of the Cayman Islands whether you’re an ex-pat or Caymanian, or whatever your economic status,” she said. Ms Williams also stressed that if anyone on a work permit was worried about word getting back to someone who might cause trouble for them, she would deal with the matter in confidence. “If they felt they are being victimised as a result of the complaint, I would consider that as an aggravating feature of the original complaint.” Ms Williams added.

Interns learn about Customs The Customs Department participated in the Government’s Summer Intern Programme, which aimed to enhance and broaden each student’s educational background and give them a sense of teamwork which would further prepare them for the challenges of the working world. Those involved in the programme ranged from High School to UCCI students. We had the pleasure of accommodating 8 students throughout the various sections of the Customs department from 25 July 2011 through 19 August 2011. Roxanne Walton was assigned to Courier, Alexander Smiley the Preventative Unit, Kenny Sitaram the Warehouse, Matthew Berry the Airport, Eddree Fisher Collections, Jonathan Jackson K9 Unit, Herman Myrie Seaport and lastly Julissa Evila Parcel Post. Herman Myrie described his experience with Customs as, “an awesome learning experience.

A slate of new teachers were welcomed into the public education service during a special reception and orientation session yesterday (Tuesday, 23 August). Top officials welcomed the 29 educators, one of the largest tranches, who are assigned to primary and high schools throughout the Cayman Islands. They were treated to informative presentations and offered gifts and essential services at booths staffed by local banks, a communication provider, the Credit Union and the Department of Tourism. Caymanian Janelle Tibbetts, a newly-qualified music teacher assigned to Clifton Hunter High School, said she is happy to be back home – having recently completed her teaching degree at Florida International University.

Acknowledging the mix of nationalities within the group, Chief Education Officer Shirley Wahler told the recruits, “There are few cities of 50,000 people with as diverse a population as ours, so the richness of your own experiences can be a tremendous resource.” Chief Officer Mary Rodrigues spoke of the importance of striving for excellence, maintaining local
standards and expectations. “This is one of the most challenging, but rewarding professions... give it your absolute, unqualified, best efforts,” she added.

Here are a few things worth considering before going on your next journey: • Before travelling, check with your provider that your account is provisioned for roaming. • Providers have roaming partner arrangements specific to different countries so you can always ask your network what the preferred choice of roaming networks are for the countries you are visiting. • Some network providers offer special roaming add-ons for example Digicel’s BlackBerry Data Passport. Rather than charging per MB of data used, this flat monthly fee covers up to 100MB of BlackBerry data when roaming to avoid incurring large data costs when abroad. ®

Choosing fish low in mercury Brandi Propas info@ieyenews.com
Brandi Propas is the newest addition to the International Medical Group. She is a registered dietician and her services are a welcome complement to the clinic. Heard that fish is good for you but concerned about the mercury levels? Don’t despair. There are many safe and tasty fish that are low in mercury that will still give you the Omega-3 fatty acids you need. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for overall health as research has shown that this type of fat can help reduce the risk of heart disease, lower triglycerides and reduce inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are especially important for brain, nerve and eye development in the fetus, infants and children. To get the most benefit from Omega-3s it is recommended that you consume 2 servings of fish per week, or 150g (5 oz) of fish per week. Fatty cold water fish, such as sardines, mackerel, wild salmon, and trout are the best sources for Omega-3 fatty acids. What about the mercury? We should all limit our exposure to mercury but women who may become pregnant, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, and infants and children need to avoid regular consumption of higher-mercury fish and choose the low-mercury fish instead because of the harm mercury can do to a child’s developing brain. Generally, fish that contain higher amounts of mercury are large, predatory fish. These fish have had long lives and therefore more time to accumulate mercury. These include: • Tuna steaks • Canned “white”, Albacore or Bluefin Tuna (Note: “light” canned tuna is low in mercury ) • Swordfish, Shark, Marlin and Tilefish steaks • Orange Roughy • Walleye/Pickerel • Grouper • Escolar

Yellow tail snapper Pregnant and breastfeeding women should have no more than 150g (5oz) of these fish per month. Children should have no more than 75g to 125g (2.5 -4.5oz) per month. Men and other women can have up to 150g (5oz) per week. What fish are low in Mercury? There are still numerous low mercury fish that can be enjoyed on a regular basis. When looking for a quick and healthy lunch idea, opt for “light” canned tuna to make a salad or sandwich with. Another economical fish choice is sardines. Chose sardines packed in water for an even healthier
option. Feeling like something grilled or baked? Pacific cod, halibut and yellowtail Snapper are all tasty, low mercury fish. Other low mercury fish options include: arctic char, flounder, haddock, mackerel, scallops, shrimp, sole, tilapia and trout. Fresh, frozen or canned wild or Pacific salmon (not Atlantic or farmed) is another great option for a low mercury fish and has the added bonus of being very high in Omega-3 fatty acids. With all these great low mercury fish to choose from it is easy to enjoy the recommended 2 servings of fish per week. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

“There goes Père Michaux,” said the half-breeds, as the broad sail of his boat went gleaming by in the summer night, or the sound of his sledge bells came through their closed doors; “he has been to see the dying wife of Jean,” or “to carry medicine to François.” On the wild nights and the dark nights, when no one could stir abroad, the old priest lighted his lamp, and fed his mind with its old- Constance Fenimore Woolson time nourishment. But he had nothing modern; no newspapers. rules that three colts could have The nation was to him naught. He learned almost as well, provided was one of a small but distinctly they had had speech.

And not without its upon the little flock before him, but use too, its members serving their has no more power over them than country, unconsciously perhaps, but a penguin would have over a colony powerfully, by acting as a balance of sparrows. But if the religion of the boys was to the self-asserting blatant conceit of the young nation—a drag on the simple, that of Tita was of a very wheels of its too-rapidly speeding different nature; it was as complex, car. They are a sort of Mordecai at tortuous, unresting, as personal the gate, and are no more disturbed and minute in detail, as some of than he was by being in a minority. those religious journals we have In any great crisis this element is all read, diaries of every thought, fused with the rest at once, and pen-photographs of every mood, disappears; but in times of peace wonderful to read, but not always and prosperity up it comes again, comfortable when translated into actual life, where something less and lifts its scornful voice.

angered Miss Lois, and sometimes wearied even the priest himself. The little creature aspired to be absolutely perfect, and she was perfect in rule and form. Whatever was said to her in the way of correction she turned and adjusted to suit herself; her mental ingenuity was extraordinary. Anne listened to the child with wonder; but Père Michaux understood and treated with kindly carelessness the strong selfism, which he often encountered among older and deeply devout women, but not often in a girl so young. Once the elder sister asked with some anxiety if he thought Tita was tending toward conventual life. “Oh no,” replied the old man, smiling; “anything but that.” “But is she not remarkably devout?” “As Parisiennes in Lent.” “But it is Lent with her all the year round.” “That is because she has not seen Paris yet.” “But we can not take her to Paris,” said Anne, in perplexity. “What should I do if I had to reply to you always, mademoiselle?” said the priest, smiling, and patting her head. “You mean that I am dull?” said Anne, a slight flush rising in her cheeks. “I have often noticed that people thought me so.” “I mean nothing of the kind. But by the side of your honesty we all appear like tapers when the sun breaks in,” said Père Michaux, gallantly. Still, Anne could not help thinking that he did think her dull. To day she sat by the window, looking out over the ice. The boys, dismissed from their bench, had, with the sagacity of the dogs, gone immediately to the kitchen. The soft voice of Tita was repeating something, which sounded like a litany to the Virgin, full of mystic phrases, a selection made by the child herself.

Piano music boxes Georgina Wilcox
music box; it is a work of art. Piano music boxes can be given as gifts to both children and adults. Here are some suggestions from Rex Harris on his website rexharris.net:
georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Music boxes have always come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small enough to fit in your hand, while others are designed to hold jewellery, and still others are large enough to stand alone like a piece of furniture. Wood, metal, glass, and stone; jewellery boxes are familiar to all of us. Equally familiar is the musical jewellery box. In fact, it is almost rare to see one without the other. A piano music box is another variation on that theme, and what a unique and intriguing variation it is! A piano music box is exactly that; a music box shaped like a piano. But its appeal extends well beyond its familiar shape and the songs it plays. Some piano music boxes are simple enough; the least expensive models are often just a standard music box inside a case that resembles a piano. And like many other music boxes, they often have room to hold trinkets and jewellery. But it is the expensive, handcrafted models that are so unique and interesting, they have to be seen to be believed. Often imported from Europe, a hand crafted piano music box is a work of art. Hand carved, handpainted, and inlaid with rare stones, piano music boxes can often cost hundreds of dollars or more. The lids of these miniature grand pianos lift and reveal the musical movement, which is the heart of the musical instrument, just like a real baby grand. The musical movement on a piano music box is just as impressive as the case in which it sits. A high quality piano music box can be custom ordered with a musical movement that fits your needs.

Lena Liu heirloom porcelain piano musical This wind up music box is made of heirloom porcelain that is highlighted with 22k gold butterflies and flowers. It is really a masterpiece to behold. It has a hinged cover like that of an actual grand piano. Besides that, you will be lured to sing the song “Wind Beneath My Wings” when you listen to this play. This is a great gift for friends and family.
basic musical movement might be capable of playing eighteen notes, and that would allow a piano music box that is outfitted with that movement to play simple songs that are short in duration. As you progress in price in sophistication, the musical possibilities become greater and greater. The most expensive musical movements are capable of up to one hundred and forty-four notes. This allows a piano music box to play intricate songs that last much longer than the more basic movements allow. Naturally, the list of available songs becomes quite long when your piano music box is outfitted with the finest musical movements. A piano music box is something that is sure to bring joy to its owner, and it is equally likely to be passed down as a family heirloom. Its ultimate appeal lies in the fact that it is so much like its full sized counterpart. Its beautiful woodwork and beautiful sound make a piano music box more than just a

OPINION
All the world’s an island Size really does matter Carol-Ann Rudy carol-ann.rudy@ieyenews.com
It started out at four inches, now it’s down to three and a half. It’s the latest proportion reduction of my favorite candy bar. You say you went to your doctor for your annual physical and he said you needed to lose two, three, fifty pounds? Be aware, very aware: there is a devious practice taking place. You know what I mean: some in the food industry are determined to sell less product for the same or greater price. To be fair, the costs to the food giants in the industry have increased. But just take a gander at some of these examples of deception: The serving size of most dry cereals is a half cup. Now measure it out and take a good look. Do you know anyone except a small child who might be satisfied with that miniscule amount? A cup of cereal might do, but at double the calories. How about that carton of ice cream, no longer a half-gallon? It is routinely sold at the same price as its former half-gallon size, so when it’s on sale at a reduced price, it’s still no bargain compared to its previous pricing. Then there’s the bottle of juice, no longer a quart. Same shell game. If you’re a soda drinker, you may see your favorite one-litre bottle now less than a litre but still priced at a dollar. There is no fanfare announcing the switch. Years ago in Daytona Beach a grocery store routinely ran an ad in the local newspaper for four 4 ½ ounce cans of tuna for sale at $3.00 which worked out to $0.75 cents a can, but you could buy the six ounce can at $0.55 a can or four cans for $2.20. When I asked the manager one day why they kept running the ad when
24
it was more expensive per ounce to buy the $3.00 special, he answered that buyers didn’t bother doing the math so of course they kept running the ad. They are no dummies. They are counting on the public—us—to be the dummies. The overall gist of the deception in food packaging and pricing? Decrease the size of a container while maintaining its appearance and keeping the price firm. Or increase the size of a container, tell consumers it’s “20 percent more free” and charge 20 percent more for it than five years ago. The importance of diligently reading the fine print came to my attention recently when my husband bought kippered herring. I admit it, I’m a fan of any variety of kippers. He pointed out “There’s 18 gms of protein in this tin. That would be a healthy start to a breakfast.” Scrutinising closely, I agreed. “Yes, 18 gms of protein—and 440 calories.” “What?” he exclaimed, grabbing the
tin and checking the label for the fine print. “Well, half of the tin served on toast points or crackers would be a nice 9 gram, 220 calorie meal. Plus the calories in the crackers. Plus a serving of fruit.” “Oh…” he said, deflated. I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately. Ah, but there’s a healthy meal in that tin of kippered herring yet! Better still, give me a well-grilled steak at almost any price. Need I point out the fruit juice versus the fruit cocktail scam? It’s a whole lot cheaper to add corn syrup to juice to stretch it, than to package the real thing, 100 percent juice. The words “fruit cocktail” may be printed in a small font and located somewhere else on the label. The manufacturer hopes you won’t notice you’re not buying the real thing. It can be difficult to even find the small print on some products to know just what you’re buying. The behind-the-scenes gurus in the fashion industry are every bit as crafty. You’re a size 2 you say? Be real—you used to wear a size 10! Some manufacturers reduce the size tag—not the garment—in women’s clothing in direct proportion to our need to fool ourselves that we’re skinnier. One inch in your waist represents about five pounds. According to some sources, it takes a weight loss of about ten pounds, or two inches, to drop one size. Do the math. Are you really several sizes smaller? It used to be that Canadian women’s sizes were a higher number for the same physical size, but that’s not true anymore. With the dizzying array of size categories from juniors, to petites, to misses, to womens, to plus sizes, men have nothing to complain about—we’ve got all the headaches! to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

What the famous say about gossip Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Writen by : Victoria Anderson
Do you gossip? Do you like to hear gossip? When I told a friend of mine how I hated gossip she said, “ It’s better to be interesting enough to be talked about than to be the interested party who’s doing the talking.” Thankfully, I don’t think I fall into either category. Hear what famous people said about gossips. It appears brilliance has enlivened the subject only rarely. “The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.” - George Bernard Shaw “I know that’s a secret, for it’s whispered everywhere.” - William Congreve “They come together like the Coroner’s Inquest, to sit upon the murdered reputations of the week.” - Congreve “I hate to spread rumors, but what else can you do with them?” - Amanda Lear If you haven’t got anything good to say about anyone come and sit by me.” - Alice Roosevelt Longworth “She proceeds to dip her little fountain-pen filler into pots of oily venom and to squirt this mixture at all her friends.” - Harold Nicolson “I’m called away by particular business - but I leave my character behind me.” - Richard Brinsley Sheridan “Here is the whole set! A character dead at every word.” - same Sheridan “There is only one thing in the world that is worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” - Oscar Wilde (He is) “A professional athlete of the tongue.” - Aldous Huxley (Gossip is)” Social sewage.” - George Meredith
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.

England avoid Irish upset
England avoided another embarrassing defeat at the hands of Ireland as they recorded an 11run win via the Duckworth-Lewis method at Clontarf. In a game affected badly by rain the visitors made 201-8 from 42 overs, Jonathan Trott and captain Eoin Morgan making contrasting half-centuries. Ireland reached 42-2 in their revised run chase in the RSA Challenge one-day international before the heavens opened again. When play finally resumed their requirement was down to 129 in 23 overs. Kevin O’Brien threatened to repeat his heroics of the World Cup encounter earlier this year in Bangalore, a match that the Irish famously won, before becoming one of three wickets to fall to Jade Dernbach. The result was the perfect start to the captaincy career of the Dublinborn Morgan, though his former international team-mates did not make it easy. Fielding an experimental side that included three debutants in James Taylor, Ben Stokes and Scott Borthwick, England rather stuttered throughout their innings to post to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
what seemed to be no more than a competitive total. Morgan was the one batsman to look fluent on a two-paced pitch with a hint of green to it, making 59 from 65 balls with one huge six and six fours. The left-hander shared a 102run stand with Trott, who marked his return to international cricket after a shoulder injury with a rather turgid 69. The Warwickshire batsman faced 105 deliveries for his runs having opened the innings with Craig Kieswetter, who became the first to fall in the match when he was caught behind off the bowling of John Mooney. Taylor mustered only a single on his bow, mis-timing a pull off Boyd Rankin high to mid-wicket, shortly before the first lengthy delay in proceedings. Morgan lifted the gloom with some superb shots but when he was smartly caught and bowled by Paul Stirling, England again lost their way. Ravi Bopara made just two while Stokes faired only one run better, the Durham all-rounder also giving a return chance back to spinner Stirling (2-46).
Samit Patel and Trott both departed in the batting powerplay, but Chris Woakes (19no) and Scott Borthwick (15) at least saw the visitors past 200. Ireland found it tough going at the start of their run chase against newball pair Woakes and Steven Finn, who claimed the first two wickets to fall. A further break for bad weather left them having to get 87 off the remaining 60 balls, a task that soon became harder when William Porterfield was almost immediately run out. Kevin O’Brien - the man whose 63-ball 113 downed England in the World Cup - did give the home crowd some hope, heaving his third and fourth balls over the ropes for sixes in Borthwick’s one-and-only over of leg spin. But when he was yorked by Dernbach (3-30) for 26 soon after the departure of his brother Niall, Ireland had lost their one real match-winner with the bat. John Mooney (15) and Gary Wilson (13) tried their best but the innings eventually finished up on 117-8, meaning Morgan was the only Irishman left wearing a smile on his face at the end of the day.

Colts agree to terms with QB Kerry Collins INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are bringing one veteran quarterback out of retirement. No, not Brett Favre. The Colts agreed to terms Wednesday with Kerry Collins, making him the likely starter in case Peyton Manning hasn’t completely recovered from offseason neck surgery when the season opens Sept. 11.

Collins said he has been given no indication that Manning won’t play at Houston. “Hopefully, Peyton will be back, but if he’s not maybe I can be one of the guys that can help this ball club,” Collins said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday night. “The biggest draw for me coming here was just being with a team that I have a lot of respect for and a lot of history with, and really to be with a great team and play with one of greatest quarterbacks of all time.” Collins agreed to a one-year contract and acknowledged he could be talked into staying longer than 2011. Not everyone in the Colts locker room is enamored with the move. “We don’t even know him, we ain’t vanilla, man, we ain’t no simple offense,” receiver Reggie Wayne said. “So for him to come in here and be the starter, I don’t see it. I think that’s a step back.”

Arsenal seal much needed win
BACK TO SCHOOL!
A 2-1 win in Udinese allowed Arsenal to book their place in the UEFA Champions League and offered some respite for beleaguered boss Arsene Wenger. Priceless away goals from Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott saw the Gunners through 3-1 on aggregate, after Antonio Di Natale had given them a scare on Wednesday night by opening the scoring at Stadio Friuli.

Silence hurts. If you
SEE something,
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Arsenal started brightly, as they did in the first leg, but there was to be no repeat of Walcott’s early breakthrough. On a hot and humid night, a breathtaking early tempo quickly slowed and Udinese were able to work their way back into the game. Di Natale was proving to be handful yet again and it was he who broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Arsenal, to their credit, refused to panic and hauled themselves level on 55 minutes when Gervinho burst into the box and cut the ball back for Van Persie to rifle home. Three minutes later Udinese were awarded a penalty, after Thomas Vermaelen handled, but Szczesny pulled off a spectacular save to deny Di Natale from the spot. The Gunners were now back on top of things and ended the tie as a contest on 69 minutes when Walcott made no mistake as he calmly slotted past Samir Handanovic.

The Caymanian U-15 cricketers dismissed five Bahamian batsmen before they could make a single run on Day 2 of their four-match tour. The fourteen-man squad who participated in the Americas U-15 Central Division Championship, in Nassau Bahamas, are dominating the event. Their combined fierce batting and conservative bowling created a punishing antidote for the Bahamians. The victorious Cayman Team, which was prepared by coaches Andy Myles and Benjamin Maynard, was initially focused on using the tournament for gathering experience. After winning the toss, the young Caymanians opened the batting with Wayne Cato and David Lee. From the very first ball, Cato scored four runs, his partner David Lee, who was dismissed after making seven runs, was replaced by skipper, Gregory Davis. After 16 minutes at the crease, Wayne Cato was finally bowled out and was replaced by batsman Paul Laidlaw. The batting pair of Laidlaw and Davis made a combined total of 81 runs, of which Gregory Davis made 53, not out, and Paul Laidlaw made 28. The overall total for the young Caymanian team was 166 runs, from thirty overs, for the loss of six wickets. Earl Thomas and Kevin Valsaint opened the batting for the Bahamian Team. Valsaint lost his wicket after contributing just one run, and was replaced by batsman, Dwight Weakley Jr. Weakley managed to add 12 more runs to the scoreboard, before his partner, Earl Thomas, was dismissed for four runs. Five of the Bahamian batsmen were dismissed without making a single run. The Bahamians were all out for just 43 runs, from only 15 overs. Because of the hurricane that hit the Bahamas, the remaining two matches of the tour are subject to postponement.

WE ARE SAILING!
Publisher Joan E Wilson Editor In Chief Colin G Wilson MCIM Printed and Published By: iNews Cayman Ltd.
Cayman sailor Florence Allan who took first place in the mini regatta
342 Dorcy Dr., CAC Building,
As part of the preparations for Race Cayman 2012, the Cayman Islands Sailing Club held a week long Optimist sailing clinic. Six of our local sailors were joined by three sailors from Jamaica. Head Coach Raph Harvey ran the clinic himself. He said: “It is vital that kids spend time on the water if they are to get to the top levels of the sport. “However that time needs to be spent sailing the boat correctly and utilising skills learned from their coaching. A five day clinic allows for intense instruction and a variety of wind conditions”. Although the kids ended up pretty
exhausted at the end of each day they were enthusiastic about the progress they had made. Evan Langford from Montego Bay Yacht club in Jamaica commented, “We are having a great time and the conditions and coaching are awesome”. Harbour House Marina heard about the clinic and offered to donate Gill sailing gloves to all the participants. Jonathan Cuff, manager of Harbour House said, “We are always pleased to support Youth sailing. After all, they are the sailors of tomorrow”. The clinic ended with a mini regatta which saw Cayman sailors take the
podium positions with Florence Allan winning from Pablo Bertran in second and Allena Rankine in third. Rick Caley, the CISC manager said, “We know we have a great venue for sail training here on North Sound and we are delighted that our neighbours from Jamaica could come over and join us. “Our coaching staff is excellent and they have proved that they can run high class training clinics like this one. We hope to host other overseas sailors with similar events in the build up to the Western Caribbean Optimist Dinghy Championships in March 2012”.
