Tony Crescente is enraged. Masked gunmen invaded his Casanova restaurant, smashed his computer systems and cash register, stole all the cash and disappeared into the night.

“Thank God no one was hurt,” he said, describing himself as “very frustrated” by rising crime and “the growing threat” to tourism, to families and to local businesses.

In Cayman 27 years, Mr Crescente said escalating crime was “the worst I have ever seen”, isolated incidents of vandalism at the restaurant notwithstanding.

Eight customers and 12 staff had watched helplessly on Thursday as the thieves took over, he said. stealing “a couple of thousand dollars”. One table of visitors, “some Americans, left and were not happy.

“We are not in Baghdad,” Mr Crescente said. “We live in a beautiful spot, and unfortunately, this has become a cancer, a serious problem, and it’s too late to fight it with a stick. Something serious has got to be done. This is the worst I’ve ever seen.”

Two major fundraising events for the Cayman Islands Red Cross joined by the Royal Bank of Canada will be hosted this month.

The 14th Annual RBC-sponsored CIRC Charitable Golf Tournament along with the Red, Gold & Soul Dinner and Dance.

Two senior professionals golfers, Mark McNulty and Nick Price, will attend the golf tournament.

Participants can also register for a chance to play nine holes with them for an extra fee.

Mr. McNulty arrived in Grand Cayman on Thursday evening courtesy of Cayman Airways.

Mr. McNulty said, “When I was asked to come down and do this, it didn’t take much thought, the golfing and the diving as well. It’s obviously great to come down and support the cause.

Mark spoke on giving something back to the community and helping the organisation.

“I know that the Red Cross is a very important organisation around the world and I think in the latter stages of our lives it’s always great to give something back. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Mark William McNulty was born on October 25th 1953 in Bindura, Southern Rhodesia now known as Zimbabwe.

He was one of the leading players on the European Tour during the mid 1980s through to the mid 1990s and cracked the top 10 of the official World Golf Rankings for 83 weeks from 1987 – 1992.

He was raised on a farm in the Centenary area of Zimbabwe.

There was an airstrip on the farm for his stepfather, an amateur pilot who was later diagnosed with Epilepsy. He was forced to give up

flying and turned the airstrip into a three-hole course. This is where Mark first learnt to play golf.

The charitable golf tournament will be held at the North Sound Club with three tee off times over the two day period.

Tee off started yesterday Friday September 2nd at noon, and again on Saturday September 3rd at 8am and 1pm.

Runaway cow tracked down in Germany BERLIN (AP) — A cow named Yvonne whose escape kept a corner of Bavaria on tenterhooks has turned herself in after three months on the run.

The Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary, which now owns the errant bovine, said that a farmer had called to say Yvonne had shown up on her farm in the Muehldorf area, near the Austrian border.

The brown dairy cow escaped from a Bavarian farm in May, then hid in forests. A few days later, she was involved in a near-collision with a police car, and local authorities labeled her a public danger.

The six-year-old cow “apparently got tired of the loneliness,” the local council in Muehldorf said in a statement, adding that she had jumped over a fence to join her fellow bovines.

LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in central Ohio are trying to solve a panties puzzle: why hundreds of pairs of mostly women’s underwear were dumped along the side of a road.

Fairfield County Deputy Gary Hummel said Thursday the undergarments were found in trees and on hillsides in several spots this week on a road in Berne Township, about 30 miles southeast of Columbus.

He says some of the panties were still folded the way they’d come in packaging, while others appeared to have been worn.

There were nearly 1,700 pairs in all, in a mix of colours and patterns. Hummel says when collected, they filled 10 large trash bags.

The cash till which was emptied

Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Friday morning police reports said only that, two masked men had entered the restaurant about 10:30pm, “one brandishing a handgun, demanding cash”.

Emptying the cash register, the pair “fled the scene with a sum of money.

They were last seen running towards the Rock Hole area. No shots were fired, and no one was injured in the incident,” the report said.

“Both were dressed in dark clothing, wearing masks and white gloves. One of the robbers spoke with what has been described as a Jamaican Cayman accent,” police reported.

“They got a couple of thousand dollars and smashed up a valuable computer system worth about $20,000,” Mr Crescente said. “They came in demanding money and flashing a gun.

They threw everything on the floor trying to open the register.

“We have had this problem for years, but crime is growing and the

Casanova by the Sea business people in this country are very concerned about it.” “Individuals”, he said, “were helpless.”

“There is really nothing we can do.

I have security, sure, but is someone going to risk their life for me for $8, $10 an hour? You are always aware and you do everything you can, but if a guy shows up at the door with a gun, who are you going to be afraid of: him or my security?

“Responsibility starts at the top, with the governor and the police, and goes down from there, and it must be everybody, but I can’t fight it [alone],” he said Marcus Mueri, owner of Abacus, Prime and Deckers restaurants, shared Mr Crescente’s concerns.

“People don’t care. They think they can get away with it. They walk into a place on Seven Mile Beach, get the cash and then hide in the bushes, and the track record of convictions is not very good,” he said.

“We are absolutely looking for better security, for better patrols. The police have new cars and they should be driving through parking lots, looking into restaurants, really getting in there, in visible places, showing a presence,” he said.

Mr Crescente suggested deployment of three patrol cars with armed officers, slashing response times: “One on Seven Mile Beach, one in George Town and one nearby,” he said.

“That way they can respond quickly and don’t need to go back to the station, get arms out of storage and then return.”

Tony Crescente Governor Duncan Taylor told iNews that he was deeply worried, and called on the public to become involved.

“The Governor is appalled by this latest robbery, at Casanova by the Sea restaurant in George Town Thursday evening,” Office of the Governor spokesman Steve Moore said.

“He said that acts such as these are not only despicable and cowardly, but are also a direct threat to our tourism industry. He has spoken to the Commissioner of Police about it and urged him to do all he can to bring those responsible to justice as soon as possible.

“He also would urge anyone in the community who may know something about this and other recent robberies to come forward with information,” he said.

WikiLeaks reveals all, media groups criticise move LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks disclosed its entire archive of U.S. State Department cables Friday, much if not all of it uncensored — a move that drew stinging condemnation from major newspapers which in the past collaborated with the antisecrecy group’s efforts to expose corruption and double-dealing.

Many media outlets, including The Associated Press, previously had access to all or part of the uncensored tome. But WikiLeaks’ decision to post the 251,287 cables on its website makes potentially sensitive diplomatic sources available to anyone, anywhere at the stroke of a key.

American officials have warned that the disclosures could jeopardise vulnerable people such as opposition figures or human rights campaigners.

A joint statement published on the Guardian’s website said that the British publication and its international counterparts “deplore the decision of WikiLeaks to publish the unredacted State Department cables, which may put sources at risk.”

Previously, international media outlets — and WikiLeaks itself — had redacted the names of potentially vulnerable sources, although the standard has varied and some experts warned that even people whose names had been kept out of the cables were still at risk.

WikiLeaks staff members have not returned repeated requests for comment sent in the past two days. But in a series of messages on Twitter, the group seemed to suggest that it had no choice but to publish the archive because copies of the document were already circulating online following a security breach.

Amnesty door closed, says police chief

Robert Baraud of High Impact (left) with Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden

Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com

Police received more than 900 rounds of ammunition and three firearms during the July and August gun amnesty and “cash for guns” programmes.

During the month of July two firearms were handed in and 144 rounds of ammunition were turned over to the police.

In the month of August, the RCIPS, in conjunction with HI Impact, a mobile billboard and general advertisement company, extended the amnesty to the end of August, and included an incentive component called the “Operation Cash for Guns.”

The incentive saw $200 in cash paid out for anyone handing over a gun and $25 per 10 bullets.

The result from the 1st to the 31st August was better than the previous month.

As much as 825 rounds of to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

ammunition, one pistol, three air guns, and 217 pellets were surrendered to the police in exchange for cash.

Detective Superintendent, Marlon Bodden summarised the performance of the two initiatives, thanking High Impact and the public for their support.

Mr. Bodden said: “The amnesty was divided into two parts, the first phase was from the first to the 31st of July.

“The result for July was very disappointing, we received two guns and 144 rounds of ammunition, but we are glad the opportunity was offered to the public. We do not particularly enjoy seeing individuals getting arrested.

“In part two, we partnered with High Impact Digital Billboards and we launched Operation Cash For Guns which started on the 1st of August and ended on the 31st of August at 7pm and 825 rounds

of ammunition, one pistol and 217 pellets were turned in to the police.”

Mr. Bodden also apologised to other organisations, which he said had offered to provide further funding for the programme, and promised to be able to accommodate their support in the future.

He added: “Other organisations have offered to assist us, going forward. We will be in a better position to benefit.”

Both the police gun amnesty and cash incentive have come to an end, and the Superintendent has asserted that persons found to be in possession of illegal guns or ammunition will feel “the full brunt of the law.”

Robert Baraud of High Impact said: “I would like to thank all the public for their support and all the people who cooperated for bringing in guns and ammunition.

“It can only be as affective as the community makes it.”

Tropical Depression #13 will meander around for a few days bringing excessively heavy rainfall to the northern Gulf Coast Jessica Willis jessica.willis@ieyenews.com

Rob Lightbown wrote that Tropical Depression 13 was fairly elongated on Friday (2) morning with poorly organised thunderstorm activity.

The depression was experiencing some shear on its west side, however, environmental conditions will become more favourable this weekend and he expected this system to strengthen into an upper end tropical storm or possibly a Category 1 hurricane. Very heavy flooding rainfall will be the main threat with this slow moving meandering system.

Rob says: “The National Hurricane Center put the center of TD 13 near 26.5 North Latitude, 91.7 West Longitude at 5 am EDT/4 am CDT this morning. My analysis of satellite products from CIMSS indicates that the best lowlevel convergence and upper-level divergence is located further to the southeast near 25.8 North Latitude and 89 West Longitude. Given the fact that the centre is so broad, I suspect we will see the centre reform further to the southeast closer to the deep convection today. This could also allow this system a little more time to strengthen before it comes ashore next week.

• Free estimates

After taking careful note of the European model forecast Rob noted: “This is a warning to everyone from southern and southeastern Louisiana eastward to southern Mississippi, southern Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle that we are looking at an extended period of tropical storm onshore winds with several days of very heavy rain likely. 10 to 20 inches of total rainfall is likely across this entire area. In addition, the onshore tropical storm force winds will cause a 2 to 4 foot storm surge across the northern Gulf coast this weekend.

“Finally, the model scenario posed by the European model is quite troubling. It forecasts very heavy rainfall and 30 to 50 mph east to southeast winds in the New Orleans metro area from today through

Sunday followed by northerly winds of 30 to 50 mph on Monday and Tuesday. So, what could happen is that the water will pile up on the northern and northwestern shores of Lake Pontchartrain this weekend and then be pushed back out towards New Orleans on Monday and Tuesday. This is something that will need to be watched very closely.”

While these systems pose no immediate threat to the Cayman Islands, they should still be monitored carefully.

Sri Lanka count finds more elephants than expected former war zones to wildlife workers.

The information gathered from the survey will be used to devise plans to protect the endangered species, Wildlife Department Director General H.D. Ratnayake said.

The previous population estimate was 5,350 elephants, he said.

“These statistics show that Sri Lanka’s elephants are in good health and that their population is growing,” Ratnayake said.

Ratnayake said other details of the survey are still being processed and would be released later.

About 20 wildlife groups withdrew

their support of the count, accusing the government of using it as a “smoke screen” for capturing the endangered animals and domesticating some of the young for use in Buddhist temples, tourism and labor.

Caribbean LifeStyle............................... Fashion................................... Culture..................................... Entertainment

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — The first national survey of Sri Lanka’s wild elephants found more than had been estimated — a sign the endangered species has a healthy, growing population on the Indian Ocean island.

The count conducted last month in forests and wildlife parks found 5,879 wild elephants, of which 122 are tuskers and 1,107 calves, Wildlife Minister S.M. Chandrasena said Friday.

Previous counts did not cover the entire island, but the end of a quartercentury civil war in 2009 opened

Grandpa charged with forcing Grand Canyon hikes FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An Indiana man forced his young grandsons for miles along a sunbaked Grand Canyon hiking trail and denied them water and food, saying later he wanted to toughen them up, according to authorities.

Christopher Carlson, of Indianapolis, remained jailed Thursday on six counts of child abuse. The boys, ages 12, 9 and 8, told investigators that they had been hit, pushed, choked, pinched and squeezed during trips into the canyon from the South Rim last month.

A ranger with binoculars spotted the group on its most recent hike —

a trek last weekend on the popular Bright Angel Trail and saw Carlson shoving the oldest boy and whipping him with a rolled-up T-shirt, authorities said.

Rangers fed and hydrated the boys and they were placed in the care of child protective services. One boy had symptoms of heat stroke, while the other two exhibited signs of heat exhaustion and dehydration.

National Park Service Special Agent Chris Smith testified that Carlson told authorities that the boys had been overweight and that he thought the hike would get them into shape.

“He told me that he loved his

grandchildren very much, but at the same time there were tough people in the world and his grandchildren needed to be tough as well,” Smith said.

Rapper T.I. back in federal custody ATLANTA (AP) — Grammy-winning rapper T.I., who was freed after months in prison, was back in federal custody Thursday because of a flap over his use of a luxury bus to report to a halfway house, his lawyer said.

Steve Sadow told The Associated Press that the Federal Bureau of Prisons “has moved T.I. to a different facility” because of an issue involving the rapper’s 375-mile trip Wednesday from the Arkansas lockup to Atlanta in a gleaming motor coach.

He did not elaborate on the exact nature of the problem federal authorities had, but said it was not drug-related. He said they are trying to to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

resolve the problem.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, traveled with an entourage to check into the halfway house, stepping off the bus clad in a red and blue striped polo shirt and white shirts.

“There appears to be confusion surrounding the method of transportation,” Sadow said.

Federal authorities had no further information late Thursday night where Harris was taken.

Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, told the AP that she couldn’t comment on the rapper’s status or his immediate whereabouts.

T.I. had initially served about seven months at the prison in 2009 after he was arrested for trying to buy unregistered guns and silencers from undercover federal agents.

Crime problem escalates to new level The robbery at Casanova by the Sea takes the current colin.wilson@ieyenews.com crime problem to a whole new level.

Stick-ups at jerk chicken stands, gas stations and shops late at night are bad enough but the impact on the economy as a result of this latest robbery is potentially catastrophic.

I have often enjoyed the delights on offer at Casanova’s.

It’s a fine restaurant with a warm, homely atmosphere that makes it a popular choice among locals and tourists alike.

Plus its location means it is one of the ideal eateries for the many thousands of tourists that visit our beautiful Island each year. And we want them to come back over and over again.

But the robbery on Thursday night, as customers enjoyed their meals, elevates the problem potentially beyond repair.

A recent report from an American Government travel website suggests that, “in recent years the Cayman Islands have experienced an increase in criminal activity involving Jamaican gangs, including gang and drugrelated shootings”.

Perhaps the information coming out of the States is slightly knee-jerk, especially as it cites a year old crime – the murder of 4-year-old Jeremiah Barnes - to back-up its harsh advice.

Colin Wilson

iNotices

Maybe we should look at the hugely negative impact on tourism suffered by our Caribbean neighbour Aruba when Natalee Holloway disappeared during a high school graduation trip.

But when masked gunmen barge into a restaurant as customers dine it does send shivers down your spine.

The mentality of these people is such that they are willing to risk years of incarceration for a few hundred bucks – far less when they are robbing jerk stands and grocery stores.

I wish I had an answer to this problem. As I’m sure do the lawmakers and people in authority within Cayman.

We don’t want burly security guards patrolling the doors of every business establishment every time we want to dine or shop after dark. Perhaps a higher visibility of police on the streets during key times of night may act as a deterrent?

The cost of such an operation compared to the drop in tourism revenue would be inconsequential.

Maybe the answer lies a little closer to home. People out there know who the thieves are. Someone will know which two men robbed Casanova’s on Wednesday night.

It’s time for the community to fight back. Help the police in anyway they can. Use the anonymous Crime Stoppers line - 800-8477 (TIPS) and let’s make Cayman the beautiful and safe place it once was.

Priya fights for Dudus assets

Tad Stoner

tad.stoner@ieyenews.com

Local lawyers for Christopher “Dudus” Coke will ask the Jamaican court to return to his family, tens of thousands of dollars in assets seized in the wake of his 2010 extradition.

Mr Coke agreed to a plea bargain last week in New York, accepting a series of lesser charges in exchange for serving a substantial sentence and foregoing a costly trial on drugs and firearms charges.

In the wake of the bargain, lawyers will seek restoration of houses, cars and land confiscated previously by the Kingston government. ”The local lawyers will apply for a return of assets to the family,” said Dudus’ legal consultant and former Cayman Grand Court Justice Priya Levers.

“They seized a lot from the family: houses cars and land,” she said, explaining her ongoing role in the case alongside Jamaican attorneys Chukwuemeka Cameron and Carolyn Reid.

The Jamiacian duo were crucial in the Kingston Supreme Court’s recent

decision, forcing police to turn over to Mr Coke’s defence team the contents of years of illegally obtained wiretap evidence.

The team is led by New York attorney Stephen Rosen, who, Ms Levers said, arranged the plea bargain after prolonged negotiations in Manhattan’s Southern District Court.

Mr Rosen had earlier failed to persuade the New York court to throw out the Jamaican wiretap, meaning Mr Coke faced not only damning police evidence, but also the testimony of 12 convicts from his Tivoili Gardens neighbourhood in Kingston. The dozen witnesses were set to describe a series of murders committed by Mr Coke in aid of his illicit activities.

“The prosecution cooperated in negotiating a plea,” Ms Levers said, after sharing documents with the defence. “Mr Rosen appeared in court and did a brilliant job.”

She said the deal meant that Mr Coke lodged guilty pleas for racketeering, conspiracy to commit assault and two other minor charges.

“I have to say that I had nothing to do with the plea, but it was a wonderful outcome in the sense that the maximum sentence is about 22 years, which is pretty good for one of the most high-profile cases we have seen,” she said.

Mr Coke would no longer go to trial on 12 September, but instead attend a sentencing hearing on 8 December, she said.

“My role is steady, and I continue to advise on the law with the local lawyers,” Ms Levers said. “I am still on the case.” to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Cayman business must do better – says FT report Paul Kennedy paul.kennedy@ieyenews.com

A report by leading British newspaper the Financial Times has rated the Cayman Islands as poor when it comes to a number of key attributes in business.

The Foreign and Direct Investment report says Cayman ranks nowhere when it comes to business friendliness, best economic potential, best infrastructure or best human resources.

Yesterday the Cayman Chamber of Commerce said the result should act as a wake-up call for the Island and the businesses here had to become more attractive.

President James O’Neill President of Chamber of Commerce, James O’Neill. said it was unclear why this jurisdiction was only ranked in a smarter infrastructure, Diversify one category on the list but Cayman the Economy and Create a Business may not have provided the FT with Friendly Climate will improve Cayman’s attractiveness and will sufficient data.

Mr O’Neill said: “We need to put us back on track for a full support the five drivers and implement economic recovery.”

What can we take from being the actions that were outlined in the Future of Cayman economic placed number 3 in “quality of life” development initiative which was and how can we use this to improve developed collaboratively by the other rankings?

He added: “There is always room business community and the C.I. for improvement. Enhance the Quality Government recently.

“The five drivers: Develop Talent, of Life is one of the five drivers for our Enhance the Quality of Life, Build future success. Five key objectives were

identified that will help us to improve our quality of life.

“These include: Enhance and embrace diversity.

Promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Achieve a balance between the environment and growth.

Promote good governance and justice.

Increase focus on education, family and public safety.

By achieving these objectives we can improve our ranking.“ The islands could only manage third place in just one area: Best Quality of Life, behind the British Virgin Islands, placed first, and Bermuda second.

In the survey Cayman ranked joint second for the highest GDP per capita for 2010, behind Bermuda and alongside the US Virgin Islands, but was not listed in any other category.

The ‘FDI Caribbean & Central American Countries of the Future 2011/2012’ report placed Costa Rica in overall first place as the top country of the future in the region, followed by Dominican Republic in second place, Trinidad and Tobago in third, Barbados in fourth and Panama fifth.

Kerri-Anne Chisholm’s studio is covered by photographs of people who live in the North Side community where she grew up. She has also many audio recordings of them speaking about their memories and these will feature in the exhibition.

“The name of my exhibition is going to be ‘Fragments of the Past,’ and it’s black and white photographs of older Caymanians displayed on the walls,” said Ms. Chisholm.

“For each portrait, the face will be divided into four sections and each section will be displayed in an individual frame. These four sections will be hung together to create a largescale portrait.”

The fragmented portraits represent fragments of the past, from which Ms. Chisholm will be able to piece together a picture of collective experience and wisdom, a resource from which she feels she will also be able to learn more about her own identity as a younger Caymanian.

been on from then to where we are now,” she said.

Nasaria Suckoo-Chollette’ Gullah Garden explores elements of African culture and language which have survived in today’s Cayman Islands.

“It all began with me taking a look at Cayman language -the words we use that people think are made up like “unna,” “ya,” and “bobo,” she said.

I did the research, and these are African words, from the Ibo language -.

Unna means, “You people,” Ya means “here” and Bobo means “Brother.”

The title of her exhibition comes from the Gullah people, African Americans who reside in South Carolina and partly through geographical isolation (some of them came to inhabit some of South Carolina’s coastal islands) preserved a large number of features of African culture.

“I found we share a lot of our traditional crafts and food that they do as well,” she said, pointing to some of the “yo-yo” covered quilt work which makes up one of the squares of a large composite work she is still completing.

It’s something that features in the work of traditional craftspeople, such as East End’s Carmen Conolly.

“We’ve always known in Cayman there were African roots but we didn’t have any concrete information. Since to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

finding similarities between our culture and Gullah culture, to me its one step closer to the original,” she said.

Wray Banker’s exhibition, Untitled, LOL explores the many and eclectic aspects of Cayman culture that interest him - ranging from making traditional games played here out of wood, to contemporary conceptual visual art.

His studio floor was strewn with varied material representing the many different ideas he is trying to incorporate into his final exhibition.

Hung on one wall was one of the “Milo” series of paintings - following the style of pop art pioneers such as Andy

Warhol - that finds art in commercial objects, in this case a can of Milo.

But Wray is quick to point out that his art is never bound by technique or choice of media. “I work in a lot of different media, but the general public don’t know that, when they see me on the road they say, ‘Hi, Wray, are you still painting?’

“That’s why I like to see this, because people get to see that it’s not just painting that I do. For me what I get out of it is how I work. It appears to be really messy –but when you look at the final product its really sharp and tight.”

He said.

Don’t sweep domestic violence under the carpet Ivy Lichtenstein-Sahadeo ivy.lichtenstein@ieyenews.com

Victims of domestic violence are often too scared to contact the authorities because of fear they may lose their status, according leading woman advocate Valerie Banks.

And her views are echoed by top police officer Angelique Howell who says it is common practice for abused woman to “shove the problem under the carpet”.

Last year, the Summary Jurisdiction (Domestic Violence) Law was revised and is now the Protection from Domestic Violence Law 2010 providing more protection for a wider range of victims and potential victims.

Valerie Banks, Shelter Administrator and Advocate for Abused Women & Children said: “There is a lot more abuse taking place on the island that is not being reported and some of the time it is because the women are in fear for their immigration status as they may be expats married to Caymanians, the well-being of their children and even their finances.

“Some feel they are obligated to take whatever abuse they are given because they are not from here.

“We see all different nationalities including our own Caymanians.”

iLocal

Mrs Banks added: “The centre is for abused women and children only. We can house a maximum of 24 persons at any given time “Normally the police are contacted in most cases and the victims are taken to the hospital and then taken to the centre or taken straight to the centre by the police.

“We offer counseling in-house and we also refer the victims to the Department of Counseling. Any person is allowed to stay up to a maximum of 60 days.”

Chief Inspector Howell urged woman who are suffering abuse to fight back – and not make excuses for their violent spouse.

She said: “We are not receiving all calls relating to abuse and women tend not to come forward because of their children, the family, the “I love him factor” or their financial status because the male is the bread winner.

“Women need to know their power and strength.

“They shove the situation under the carpet pretending it never happened.

“Women need to fight back and if not for themselves fight for their children

and consider what example they are setting for their children by not fighting back.”

“Women should not protect a man or make excuses for them.”

The new law incorporates abusers who are convicted and then break any orders imposed by the courts could be fined $10,000, jailed for two years or even both.

Anyone who feels they are being abused can call the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre 949-2422 or the RCIPS Family Support Unit on 946-9185.

Anne

“Now came the parting. Rast was to leave the island”

Part 37

“A promise.”

“To be magnificently fulfilled in the future?”

“That depends upon fate, madam; or rather circumstances.”

“For my part, I would rather be fulfilled, although not perhaps magnificently, than remain even the most glorious promise,” said Mrs. Rankin, laughing.

The fort ladies liked the old chaplain, and endured his long monologues by adding to them running accompaniments of their own. To bright society women there is nothing so unendurable as long arguments or dissertations on one subject.

Whether from want of mental training, or from impatience of delay, they are unwilling to follow any one line of thought for more than a minute or two; they love to skim at random, to light and fly away again, to hover, to poise, and then dart upward into space like so many humming- birds. Listen to a circle of them sitting chatting over their embroidery round the fire or on a piazza; no man with a thoroughly masculine mind can follow them in their mental dartings hither and thither. He has just brought his thoughts to bear upon a subject, and is collecting what he is going to say, when, behold! They are miles away, and he would be considered stupid to attempt to bring them back. His mental processes are slow and lumbering compared with theirs. And when, once in a while, a woman appears who likes to search out a subject, she finds herself out of place and bewildered too, often a target for the quick tongues and light ridicule of her companions. If she likes to generalize, she is lost.

Her companions never wish to generalize; they want to know not the general view of a subject, but what Mrs. Blank or Mr. Star thinks of it. Parents, if you have a daughter of this kind, see that she spends in her youth a good portion of every day with the most volatile swiftto blog visit www.ieyenews.com

tongued maidens you can find; otherwise you leave her without the current coin of the realm in which she must live and die, and no matter if she be fairly a gold mine herself, her wealth is unavailable.

Spring burst upon the island with sudden glory; the maples showed all at once a thousand perfect little leaflets, the rings of the juniper brightened, the wild larches beckoned with their long green fingers from the height. The ice was gone, the snow was gone, and no one knew whither; the Straits were dotted with white sails. Bluebells appeared, swinging on their hairlike stems where late the icicles hung, and every little Indian farm set to work with vigor, knowing that the time was short. The soldiers from the fort dug in the military garden under the cliff, turning up the mold in long ridges, and pausing to hang up their coats on the old stockade with a finely important air of heat: it was so long since they had been too warm! The little village was broad awake now; there was shipping at the piers again, and a demand for whitefish; all the fishing-boats were out, and their half-breed crews

hard at work. The violins hung unused on the walls of the little cabins that faced the west, for the winter was ended, and the husbands and lovers were off on the water: the summer was their time for toil.

And now came the parting.

Rast was to leave the island, and enter the Western college, which Dr. Gaston had selected for him. The chaplain would have sent the boy over to England at once to his own alma mater had it been possible; but it was not possible, and the good man knew little or nothing of the degree of excellence possessed

by American colleges, East or West. Harvard and Yale and old Columbia would not have believed this; yet it was true.

Rast was in high spirits; the brilliant world seemed opening before him. Everything in his life was as he wished it to be; and he was not disturbed by any realization that this was a rare condition of affairs, which might never occur again. He was young, buoyant, and beautiful; everybody liked him, and he liked everybody. He was going to set sail into his far bright future, and he would find, probably, an island of silver and diamonds, with peacocks walking slowly about spreading their gorgeous feathers, and pleasureboats at hand with silken sails and golden oars. It was not identically this that he dreamed, but things equally shining and unattainable— that is, to such a nature as his. The silver and diamond islands are there, but by a law of equalization only hard- featured prosaic men attain them and take possession, forming there afterward a lasting Contrast to their own surroundings, which then goes into the other scale, and amuses forever the povertystricken poets who, in their poor old boats, with ragged canvas and some small ballast of guitars and lutes, sail by, eating their crusts and laughing at them.

Alarm Systems “Security systems do deter a burglar” Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

Security systems do deter a burglar from breaking into your house.

However, If someone wants to get into your house bad enough, they will find a way to do it. The trick is to make it as difficult as possible so he finds an easier target. The ‘professional’ burglars are aware of the different types of systems and how they work.

They are also aware of how to get around them.

Basically there are two types of home security systems.

One type, called a monitored system, alerts a central notification centre once the alarm has been tripped and this centre then checks in with the homeowner to see if everything is ok by calling. The call centre is alerted through the phone wires. A professional burglar will locate the outdoor phone wires that are exposed and cut them.

By doing this, the information centre is never alerted and the burglar is free to enter the home. However, if the phone line is inaccessible and run underground, the thieves can’t tamper with the telephone line until after they have broken in – which is too late for them. An alternative is to purchase a cellular alarm system, which will not allow thieves to tamper with the transmission of the alarm signal.

One disadvantage to having a monitored system is that even after the alarm has been triggered, it gives the burglar time to still get into your house, steal some valuables and escape undetected. This can happen because typically once the alarm has been set the security company waits for approximately 30 - 45 seconds before contacting the homeowner by phone to receive the correct password. They wait this long to allow the homeowner to deactivate the alarm if it is a false alarm. If the monitoring company does not receive the correct password, or the phone is not answered, they then contact the police. By the time the police arrive at least 1-2 minutes has passed. An experienced thief can make off with quite a few of your valuables in to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

All day Breakfast & Lunch Fresh Pastries are available

Opening Hours 7 am - 5 pm

Monday - Saturday that short amount of time.

The other type of alarm system is one that makes a loud sirenlike noise inside and outside the house alerting neighbors. These are called unmonitored systems. The responsibility to contact authorities then rests on your neighbours. With this type of alarm system, it is best to also include flashing lights so people are well aware of where the alarm is coming from. The advantage to having this type of system is that burglars often become deterred when the sirens and lights start blaring. Their goal is to get in and get out with some loot and without being noticed. This is really tricky to do once the alarm has been tripped. A disadvantage of this type of alarm is that your neighbours must be home and willing to get involved by calling the authorities.

This type of alarm is also not made for those who live in an isolated area of the countryside or whose neighbours are not close by.

I hope this has not deterred you from installing an alarm system in your house but you do need to consider that no system is burglar proof and the better ones are more expensive. One good thing is most insurance companies lower your premiums for robbery if you

do have an alarm system they approve.

A basic security system will cost about $1,000. If you choose to have it monitored, there is an additional monthly fee for this service.

Make sure that your package includes: control panel, keypad, siren, motion detectors inside and outside and door and window contacts. You can add other accessories to your package, but all systems should include the above-mentioned items.

See how quickly they can install your system after it has been purchased.

You do not want to hire a company that can sell their systems faster than they can install them and be sure to get information on their warranty.

Ask about their screening process for installers. Installers should have a criminal background check completed on them.

Call the RCIPS to find out what their response time is to home security alarms. You may be surprised by their answer. Also check to see if there are any fines associated with false alarms.

Nothing replaces good old-fashioned safety and intelligence. Lock your doors and windows when the house is vacant; leave lights on inside and outside and keep valuables in a very safe place maybe even outside of the home.

Mars rover Opportunity studying new surroundings LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Mars rover Opportunity is snapping pictures like a tourist since arriving at its latest crater destination, much to the delight of scientists many millions of miles away.

The solar-powered workhorse beamed back images of the horizon, soil and nearby rocks that are unlike any it has seen during its seven years roaming the Martian plains.

Opportunity is doing more than just sightseeing. It recently spent a chunk of time using its robotic arm to investigate a flat-topped boulder that likely formed in a hydrothermal environment.

Scientists were giddy with excitement Thursday — a tone reminiscent of the mission’s early days.

“Mars is a very complex planet, a very diverse place,” said chief scientist Steve Squyres of Cornell University. “We’re seeing some of that diversity here.”

After a three-year drive, the sixwheel rover finally rolled up to the western rim of Endeavour Crater in early August to begin a new chapter of exploration.

Project managers chose the locale because it’s older and different than previous spots Opportunity has visited. The view from orbit reveals tantalizing evidence of clay deposits believed to have formed in a warm and wet environment early in Mars’ history.

ASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity using its camera to take this picture showing the rover’s arm extended toward a light-toned rock, “Tisdale 2,” during the 2,695th Martian day, Aug. 23, 2011.

A view from the Mars Rover Opportunity from the Western rim of the Endeavour Crater.

This crater -- with a diameter of about 14 miles -- is more than 25 times wider than any that Opportunity has previously approached during the rover’s 90 months on Mars.

NASA shows of the Mars Rover, Opportunity, on the surface of Mars.

The next task is to head north in search of more ancient rocks and hunt for the elusive clay minerals, said deputy principal investigator Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis.

The most interesting geology is to the south of Opportunity’s current position, but it’s unclear whether it will go there.

“I’m game for it,” Arvidson said.

Opportunity is showing typical wear for its age. It has to drive backward to prevent one of its wheels from freezing up and has arthritis in its arm.

“We’re no longer driving a hot new sports car,” said Dave Lavery, who heads the rovers program at NASA headquarters. “We’re now driving a 1965 Mustang that hasn’t been restored.”

Opportunity’s latest feat comes months after NASA bid farewell to its identical twin Spirit. Both rovers parachuted to opposite ends of the red planet in 2004 and lasted beyond their original three-month task.

Spirit fell silent last year not long after it got mired in a sand trap. NASA diligently listened for a signal from the rover and gave up in late May. To commemorate Spirit, the rover team named a spot on Endeavour Crater “Spirit Point.”

Opportunity will soon have company on the surface. NASA is set to launch a mobile laboratory named Curiosity in the latest quest to find habitable environments. The three-week launch window opens on Nov. 25.

The space agency said this week pre-flight testing is taking longer than expected and it does not yet know whether it can make the start of the launch period.

With a $2.5 billion price tag, Curiosity is the most expensive and advanced rover to Mars yet. Once it lands in summer 2012, it will study a mountain inside a 96-milewide crater to determine whether conditions were favorable to support microbial life. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

A tattoo is forever on mummy Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com

Writen by : Victoria Anderson

Disemboweled and decorated with scarlet paint, a number of tattoos were discovered recently on a mummified Mayan female in Guatemala’s northern jungle next to carved stucco panels depicting gods, cosmic monsters and serpents.

Archaeologists said the panoramic tattoos were estimated to be almost two thousand years old.

Ecstatic at the discovery, tattoo artists immediately cited the mummy as proof that once you’re lucky enough to have a tattoo, it will last forever.

However, there are others who decorated themselves with tattoos but in later years regretted the colourful selfmutilation and were very distressed by the discovery. A friend of mine with a prominent tattoo on the pierced tip of his nose told me, “I suspect when I’m finally old enough to feel really stupid about this tattoo it’ll still be here. Now, I know if I want to get rid of it, I’ll have to pay a fortune for plastic surgery.”

The mummy’s bones revealed what at first appeared to be dichotomous lifestyles. Bone evidence revealed that she had given birth to a child, but a variety of formidable looking clubs were also found buried with her making her seem far from motherly. Thinking about this I have come up with a plausible explanation.

My theory is that she regretted having all those tattoos. When she went to her grave, she asked to be buried with clubs so she could ward off any evil spirits who might arrive to apply even more tattoos.

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.

Pistorius doesn’t run final, S Africa gets silver

South Africa’s Oscar Pistorius, center, speaking with South Africa’s Willem De Beer, left, and South Africa’s Shane Victor following a qualification round for the Men’s 4x400m Relay at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea.

DAEGU, South Korea (AP) — Doubleamputee runner Oscar Pistorius said Friday he wished he could have run in the 4x400-meter relay final and earned the silver medal at the world championships.

One day after helping South Africa qualify for the final at the world championships, Pistorius was left out of Friday’s race and could only watch his teammates finish behind the United States in a thrilling finale.

“Was really hard watching knowing I deserved to be part of it,” Pistorius said in a Twitter message after Friday’s race.

Instead of Pistorius, the South African team decided to go with L.J. van Zyl, who won bronze in the 400-meter hurdles on Thursday.

Because Pistorius ran the heats, he got the team silver medal.

“It was difficult and everyone felt guilty,” Van Zyl said.

After making a historic breakthrough for Paralympic athletes by reaching the semifinals of the 400 earlier this week, the “Blade Runner” ran a strong leadoff leg on in the heats to help his to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

team to a third-place finish and a South African record.

Still, Pistorius was bypassed for van Zyl. “We decided before the heats that the slowest runner on the team in the prelims would not run the final,” Van Zyl said. “Unfortunately, Oscar’s leg was the slowest.”

And after scoring South Africa’s best result in the event, it was tough to argue against the decision.

“It was all down to the management,” said Shane Victor, who took Pistorius’ place as leadoff runner.

Pistorius wrote in a Twitter message on the morning of the final, “Haven’t Been included in the Final for the SA Mens 4x400m. Pretty Guttered.”

Pistorius’ manager, Peet van Zyl, still thought his runner should have been included.

“It was a big surprise to us. It is a disappointment, needless to say, for Oscar,” Peet van Zyl said. “It was the team management that made the call for reasons we don’t know.”

It was already considered an amazing

performance for Pistorius, who had his legs amputated when he was a baby, to get into the 400 semifinals on his carbon-fiber blades before not qualifying for the final. He then ran a relay leg that got South Africa into the final of the 4x400.

The IAAF had said that Pistorius could only run the lead-off leg of the relay because athletes run in lanes.

There were concerns that his blades could be a danger if he had to run in a bunch after the first leg.

Van Zyl ran the anchor leg in the final, and Victor became the leadoff runner.

Still it was another giant stride in the career of the 24-year-old runner who always refused to believe that the lack of shins, ankles and toes made him less of an athlete than able-bodied competitors.

Since childhood, he was an accomplished athlete. He became a Paralympic star and won three gold medals at the Beijing Paralympic.

Yet he always wanted to compete against the best. Now, he has a world championship silver to prove it.

There were no surprises, as all six cities had previously announced their candidacies.

All six contenders have made previous bids, and two — Rome and Tokyo— have hosted the Olympics before.

Madrid is bidding for a third consecutive time, while Tokyo, Doha and Baku are making their second successive attempts. It is Istanbul’s fifth overall bid.

Doha is proposing to hold the games in September and October, outside the traditional July-August dates, to avoid the blistering summer temperatures in the Gulf country.

National Olympic committees had until Friday to notify the IOC of the names of any applicant cities.

The IOC will select the host city by secret ballot on Sept. 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires.

The six candidates must first submit detailed application files and letters of guarantee to the IOC by Feb. 15. The IOC executive board will meet in May to decide whether to cut any of the cities and approve a list of finalists.

Final bid dossiers will be submitted in January 2013, followed by visits to the cities by an IOC evaluation commission from February to April.

Mets’ deal off with investor David Einhorn

Silence hurts. If you

SEE something,

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

The team said Thursday that the sale of a stake in the Mets to hedge fund manager David Einhorn for $200 million has fallen through, denying the flagging franchise the money needed to repay a loan from Major League Baseball and bolster its operating capital.

Mets owners will now try to sell shares of up to $20 million to family members and other potential investors without risking the possibility of losing a controlling interest in the team, according to a person familiar with the club’s plans. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the negotiations were not public.

In a statement, the Mets’ ownership group, led by Fred Wilpon, said it has “provided additional capital to cover all 2011 losses and is moving forward with the necessary resources to continue to operate the franchise.”

“We are very confident in the team’s plans — both off and on the field,” Wilpon said.

iSports WORLD PGA Tour signs nine-year extension with networks NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Even without Tiger Woods dominating golf, the PGA Tour announced Thursday its longest network television deal in history Thursday that secures broadcast rights for the next 10 years.

The tour agreed to a nine-year deal with CBS Sports and NBC Sports. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem did not disclose financial terms, although he said there was an increase in the rights fee and players would see modest advances in prize money.

And that’s without any assurance that Woods — golf’s biggest television draw — could get back to the top of his game.

“In our business plan, we did not assume any golfer was going to be as dominant as Tiger had been in the past,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said in a telephone interview. “Tiger played in a relatively small number of PGA Tour events, anyway. It would be great if he came back. It would be great if we were dominant again. But we were not assuming that in our numbers.”

The TV contract was the last big hurdle in getting through an economic crisis. The tour still managed to sign 10 new title sponsors of tournaments, and it renewed contracts with title sponsors of 12 other events. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Reggae Boy on the look out

Publisher Joan E Wilson Editor In Chief Colin G Wilson MCIM

Kevin Creary kevin.creary@ieyenews.com

Legendary Jamaican footballer Fitzroy Simpson knows a thing or two about soccer talent.

After a successful stint in the English League with Manchester City, Swindon Town and Portsmouth, Simpson went on to represent the Reggae Boyz.

He was also part of Charlton Athletic’s successful European Soccer School and played in the Spanish division.

Now Fitzroy’s coming to Cayman – on the lookout for young footballers to nurture, develop and maybe follow in the footsteps of Simpson himself.

One such player on the right track to soccer success is Caymanian

Sebastian Martinez.

The 12-year-old spent six weeks working with Simpson at Swindon Town FC in the UK learning valuable techniques to improve his game.

Midfielder Simpson, 41, said: “We’re not going to say we’ll make the Cayman Islands a massive football nation but if we can find one or two who become household names, great. If it wasn’t for Maradona they wouldn’t have had a great Argentina team.

“If it wasn’t for the Reggae Boyz team that I played in, they wouldn’t have heard of Jamaica. Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy and Shaka Hislop made Trinidad and Tobago.

“Now if it wasn’t for Sebastian Martinez they wouldn’t recognize

Cayman. It’s the same all over the world.”

Virgil Seymour, Coach of the Academy Sports Club Football team, added: “Fitzroy Simpson is here to have a look at the Young Caymanian players.

“He wants to search for potential skills that he can help to guide and nurture.

“One of your young players, Sebastian Martinez, has been receiving coaching at the Football Academy of Fitzroy Simpson in England.

“Sebastian has been there for a number weeks, he came back to the Island on Sunday.

“Mr Simpson is really looking to see what are the talents that are available so that he can maybe come back in the future and help the young talents.”
