Caymans’s new rollover policy does not mean an easy ride to residency for work-permit holders, but only postpones the end of their term limit, iNews has learned.

Cabinet, on Tuesday, approved a set of new regulations to enable suspension of the seven-year “rollover” for up to two years. An elite committee will study permanent changes to immigration laws, but the fresh rules forbid work-permit holders from counting the legal hiatus towards permanent residency.

Immigration will grant a new one-year Term Limit Exemption Permit to applicants, while employers must satisfy the same rules governing traditional work permits.

The exemption permit may be renewed and the holder may continue working while the renewal is in process.

West Bay gang members pose with what appears to be a shotgun on Facebook.

Detectives say they are keeping a close eye on the social networking site as part of the effort to identify crooks and prevent further mayhem.

Today, we reveal the Jamaican

origins of the war that has so far taken four lives and thrown Cayman into chaos.

A ray of hope shines from the community of West Bay, as a positive youth group continues to cultivate values and attitude.

Despite adversities in and around the district, a group of about 40 young people have committed themselves to being exemplary citizens of the West Bay community.

The adolescents are part of the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Youth Development Programme, a series of activities for young people that seeks to instill and nurture positive values and work ethics.

National Chairman, Mrs. Katherine Jackson, explained that the Youth Development Program is time and goal oriented.

Mrs. Jackson stressed that there are physical and mental challenges involved in the club membership experience that were especially designed to teach the participants discipline, determination, and perseverance.

Mrs. Jackson described obstacle courses, which must be conquered by participants, which include travelling over long, difficult and

uneven terrains, including the Cayman Island’s “Mastic Trail,” in Frank Sound, as part of a point scoring system and to qualify for an award.

Group members may be assigned different challenges over or between one to four year periods and must satisfy the standards for performance established by The Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

Mrs. Jackson said: “This Youth Development Programme targets activities in the four major areas of young people’s lives.

“Community service, physical recreation, skills, and expedition.

“The programme focuses on enhancing the participants physically, mentally and spiritually.

“A young person should be well balanced. The focus cannot always be only on academics.

“Young people need physical recreation so there can be balance to their lives.

“With the proper balance youths can better understand how to live in their community and care for others and maintain their health.

“It is not a school programme, it is a Young People’s Development

Programme.“At the end of their tenure, we

assess each club member to determine if they have achieved the required amount of sessions necessary to qualify for an award.”

Runaway steer creates chaos on Arizona interstate

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — A runaway steer stopped traffic on a major highway, hurtled over a brick wall and damaged two police vehicles during a Tuesday morning chase that had four Arizona law enforcement agencies scrambling.

The male bovine escaped from a livestock trailer Tuesday morning on Interstate 8 just east of Yuma in southeastern Arizona, Yuma County sheriff’s Capt. Eben Bratcher told The Associated Press.The driver of the trailer, which had

five other steer inside, was getting on the freeway when he noticed that a side door was ajar. He pulled over but one of his charges got away before he could shut the door.“It was chaotic,” Bratcher said.

“It was running around in traffic on the interstate, which is why law enforcement got involved as quickly as it did. There was a lot of us out there chasing this thing around.”He said the steer bounded over

one police car and later barreled over a brick wall, knocking some bricks down.A sheriff’s deputy eventually was

able to rope the steer from the bed of a pickup about a half-hour after the escape as another deputy drove alongside it.“It kicked the crap out of the truck

and dented it up,” Bratcher said.Bratcher said the nimble steer was

uninjured and was returned to its owner, a Yuma man who continued on his trip to take the steer to a feedlot.Bratcher said the animal was a

roping steer, the type often featured at rodeos. At first he thought it was a Texas longhorn.“It’s ornery,” he said. “They’re not

known for their docile nature.”

An applicant may approach the Immigration Appeals Tribunal regarding any refusal to grant or renew the permit, but the case will terminate exactly two years after the rollover suspension is approved by the legislature.

That approval is likely to come next Wednesday, 28 September, when the LA will vote on Cabinet’s 20 September go-ahead, overseen by Governor Duncan Taylor.

“I am taking this step because people are suffering, apartments are being left vacant. I don’t want Caymanians to lose their investments, and apartments are what they usually invest in,” Premier McKeeva Bush told iNews yesterday.

“Between October and November this year, hundreds of people would have to leave, and between January and December [2012], we’ll lose more than 4,000,” Mr Bush said. “By the first half of 2013, there will be total of well over 5,000.

“I am mindful of that,” he said, fearing that the economy and

hundreds of small businesses could be damaged by the departure of thousands of work-permit holders who arrived in the wake of 2004’s Hurricane Ivan.

“This is not so much about work,” he said, “because all the other laws, the regular laws about work permits, remain. You must still apply for work permits, and an employer must try to recruit and to train Caymanians,” replacing work-permit holders whenever possible.

“This is not a free-for-all,” he said.iNews has learned, however, that

the potential two years of additional presence under the Term Limit Exemption Permit “shall not count as legal and ordinary residence for the purpose of qualifying for the right to apply for permanent residence,” meaning, that pending immigration committee recommendations, the “key employee” designation may continue to operate after the suspension.

The new exemption permit may be changed to accommodate dependants, new job titles and additional employers, and, similar to a traditional work permit, may be revoked.

Also like a traditional work permit, when the final Term Limit

Exemption expires, the holder must leave the islands for at least one year before returning.

An application fee, as yet unspecified, will be charged for a Term Limit Exemption Permit, while another fee will be sought for amendments.

“I’m not backing off of this,” said Mr Bush, denouncing dissent by both the opposition People’s Progressive Movement (PPM) and North Side Independent Ezzard Miller.

PPM leader Alden McLaughlin fearing widespread confusion at the suspension, has asked instead for quick amendments to the immigration law. Mr Miller worries the suspension could open the door to a raft of permanent residency applications and ultimate loss of political control.

“The PPM wants to abandon the rollover, and that’s just a bunch of nonsense,” Mr Bush said. “Ezzard would say anything, do anything, at any time and any place, to be re-elected and certainly to try to be premier and take control of this country. He will run this country into the ground.”

Feds: Full Tilt Poker site was Ponzi scheme

NEW YORK (AP) — An Internet poker company that was blocked from operating in the U.S. in the spring as part of an online gambling crackdown was “not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme,” federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

The popular Full Tilt Poker website illegally raided player accounts to fund operations and make lavish payments to its owners, Justice Department lawyers said in a revised civil lawsuit filed in New York.Over four years, the company

used $444 million in player money to pay board members, including well-known professional poker players Christopher Ferguson and Howard Lederer, investigators said.The poker site had promised

players that their accounts were protected and wouldn’t be touched. But authorities say that, as of March, the company had only $60 million left in its bank accounts to cover the $390 million it owed to players. It routinely mingled player money with its own finances, and took cash from some customers to pay out winnings due to others, prosecutors said.“Full Tilt was not a legitimate

poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. “Not only did the firm orchestrate a massive fraud against the U.S. banking system, as previously alleged, Full Tilt also cheated and abused its own players to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Their origins lie in Reggae Dancehall music and Jamaica’s “warring” Gaza and Gully factions, except that what started as lyrical challenges has exploded in Cayman into deadly violence.

While their Jamaican followers idolised their heroes -- Vybz Kartel, from Portmore, nicknamed “Gaza” -- after the squalid Palestinian area in the Middle East -- in St Katherine parish, and Mavado, from Gully, the Cassava Piece neighbourhood in Kingston -- their partisans in West Bay’s opposing “Birch Tree Hill” and “Logwoodz Dons” gangs appear to have adopted

as real the implicit violence, disregard for the law and threats of firearms.

Meanwhile, Birch Tree Hill’s Keith Montique, 22, the surviving victim of Monday night’s double shooting in George Town’s Cranbrook Drive, lies in hospital suffering four bullet wounds. Companion Jason Christian, 18, was killed in the assault.

After emergency surgery in George Town, Mr. Montique was flown off-island on Tuesday morning for further treatment. A spokesman at the overseas hospital would say only that he was in “stable” condition.

While the Jamaican conflict was resolved in a joint Vybz Kartel-Mavado 2009 concert – promoted incidentally,

by Jamaican drug and firearms kingpin Christopher “Dudus” Coke – the West Bay gangs do not seem to have managed a truce.

Facebook postings by both sides have glorified their defiance and threats, displaying firearms, gang signs and written warnings to say “nuttin’” to police.

Starting with last Tuesday’s shooting death of Logwoodz “general” Robert Bush, followed by Thursday’s execution of Birth Tree Hill’s Andrew Baptist, followed by the Saturday murder of Logwoodz’ Preston Rivers, the violence has spiralled out of control.

Commissioner of Police David Baines, Governor Duncan Taylor and Premier McKeeva Bush have been forced into emergency meetings, planning increased police patrols and legislative changes to enable quicker response to firearms incidents. Mr. Bush has gone on radio seeking to calm increasingly alarmed residents, not only of West Bay but the larger Grand Cayman community.

Jamaican newspaper columnist, pundit and social commentator Ian Boyne has described the Gaza-Gully war as “a manifestation of largely aggressive, intolerant, divisive and tribalistic culture that long predated Dancehall”, but which, he said had reinforced the distinction.

“Violence does not have the social stigma in Dancehall as in the general culture. It is not abhorred, but glorified, eulogised and magnified.”

The victims, he said were “mainly ghetto youth being victimised as a result.”

Invest 98L was upgraded to Tropical Storm Ophelia on Tuesday (20) night and it is more organised than it was expected to get. Forecasts are predicting that Ophelia will remain as a tropical storm tonight before weakening into a tropical wave over the weekend. Ophelia is tracking to the west with maximum sustained winds of 50kts or 60mph. Models show that Ophelia is expected to shift to the north, only affecting the Leeward Islands as opposed to both the Windward and Leeward Islands, as discussed in yesterday’s paper (21).

Rob Lightbown writes, “The global model guidance are trending towards a track that takes Ophelia very near or perhaps even north of the islands of the northeastern Caribbean late this weekend as a ridge of high pressure weakens a little and a large storm system develops over the eastern United States.”

The Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, are expected to see heavy rainfall and tropical storm force winds starting in the Leeward Islands today through to Sunday.

Company hires adults with autism to test software HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — The software testers at Aspiritech are a collection of characters. Katie Levin talks nonstop. Brian Tozzo hates driving. Jamie Specht is bothered by bright lights, vacuum cleaners and the feel of carpeting against her skin. Rider Hallenstein draws cartoons of himself as a DeLorean sports car. Rick Alexander finds it unnerving to sit near other people.

This is the unusual workforce of a U.S. startup that specializes in finding software bugs by harnessing the talents of young adults with autism.

Traits that make great software testers — intense focus, comfort with repetition, memory for detail — also happen to be characteristics of autism.

People with Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism, have normal to high intelligence and often are highly skilled with computers.

Aspiritech, a nonprofit in Highland Park, Ill., nurtures these skills while forgiving the quirks that can make adults with autism unemployable: social awkwardness, poor eye contact, being easily overwhelmed. The company’s name plays on the words “Asperger’s,” ‘’spirit” and “technology.”

Clients, nine companies in Aspiritech’s first two years, have been pleased.

“They exceeded my expectations,” said Dan Tedesco of Shelton, Conn.-based HandHold Adaptive, which

took a chance on Aspiritech to test an iPhone application.

Gunmen dump 35 bodies on avenueMEXICO CITY (AP) — Suspected drug traffickers drove two trucks to a main avenue in a Mexican Gulf coast city and dumped 35 bodies beneath an overpass during rush hour as gunmen stood guard and pointed their weapons at frightened drivers.

Horrified motorists trapped at the scene grabbed cell phones and sent Twitter messages warning others to avoid the area on a thoroughfare near the biggest shopping mall in Boca del Rio.

The gruesome scene Tuesday was a sharp escalation in drug violence in Veracruz state, which sits on an

important route for drugs and Central American migrants heading north.

The Zetas drug cartel has been battling other gangs for control of the state.

Veracruz state Attorney General Reynaldo Escobar Perez said the bodies were left piled in two trucks and on the ground under an overpass near the mall and a statue of the Voladores de Papantla, ritual dancers from Veracruz state.

Police had identified seven of the victims so far and all had criminal records for murder, drug dealing, kidnapping and extortion and were

linked to organized crime, Escobar said. He didn’t say to what group the victims belonged.

Motorists posted warnings on Twitter that masked gunmen in military uniforms were blocking Manuel Avila Camacho Boulevard and pointing their guns at civilians.

Lawyers want to show Jackson press conferenceLOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death moved Tuesday to show jurors at the upcoming trial footage of a news conference in which the singer spoke of performing in only 10 shows during his “This Is It” concert run.

In a motion filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Conrad Murray’s attorneys said they want to show the audio-visual recording of Jackson’s news conference to support testimony that he was not physically capable of doing the 50 shows to which he eventually agreed.

Jackson appeared at the 02 Arena in London on March 5, 2009, to announce his widely heralded tour.

“At the press conference, Mr. Jackson informs the crowd that these 10 shows will be his ‘final show performances’ and that this was the ‘final curtain call,” said the document filed by defense attorney Nareg Gourjian.

“Mr. Jackson reiterates to the crowd that, ‘When I say this is it, it really means this is it.”

In little more than three months, Jackson was dead of an overdose of the

anesthetic propofol. The rehearsals for his lavishly produced concert became the basis of a posthumous concert movie, “This Is It.” His trial begins Friday with jury selection.



And the rest of the sentence goes: “……we

need to make another speech and call another press conference. And then there are those talk shows and TV appearances we have to do. And it really isn’t our fault. The politicians need to change the Laws. And it isn’t our fault at all because government has no control over police operational matters. And, all this takes time.”

Father Time waits for no one. He passes by and nothing can stop Him. In the meantime our gangs laugh, parade themselves as heroes on their Facebook pages and wait in bushes to ambush another member of a rival gang so they can shoot him to death. The perpetrators have no basic arms training but they have guns and that means power.

“If I have to shoot him five or six times it doesn’t matter. It’s target practice and I will get better next time.”

Time.In the UK to comply with their liquor licensing

laws, when it reached the hour for closing time, the landlord would ring a bell and shout, “Time, gentlemen (and ladies), please.” That meant it was the end of time. Time stopped for you to drink, even if you had an unfinished glass in your hand, and you had to immediately leave. The term, “Time out” means stop.

“A week of Hell” was iNews’ front-page headline on Wed (21) edition. Sadly, it had to appear with our self-praise gold badge trumpeting our 100th edition. Faces appeared inset over the latest crime scene. Four of these faces were tagged with the word ‘MURDERED!’ and a fifth ‘CRITICAL!’

The word “may” was used a number of times at the press conference given by Governor Duncan Taylor and Commissioner David Baines last Monday (19) where a ‘gang curfew may be used’ (but probably not). The word ‘time’ was also used. At another press conference one of our reporters asked a senior policeman there whether outside help was going to be asked for and was told “we haven’t reached that time.”

Haven’t we reached the end of ‘time’? Can’t we change ‘may’ to ‘WILL’? We want ACTION now.

Not “MAYbe later when TIME permits us to get our act together.” This is even more reinforced when, in the premier’s speech on Radio Cayman last Monday (9), he said, “I have had many concerns, concerns which I have made known to all of the commissioners of police, including the current commissioner. I have voiced the importance of forcefully addressing the severity of this issue from long before my inception to office in 2009 and in these years leading up to the senseless executions which we are witnessing today.” That seems a long TIME ago now.

If one beats the drum long enough MAYbe someone will hear. I have heard many of Mr. Bush’s concerns but the drum on this one did not beat loud enough for me to hear. Nor did it, or so it seems, reach the ears of all of the police commissioners.

When I drove through Harbour Drive yesterday morning (21) and watched the cruise ship passengers embarking I saw no police presence at all. Not even a police car. The drum that we, the public, have been banging quite loud in the media is for visible police presence on the streets in the tourists area. This hasn’t penetrated the right ears as yet. Perhaps we should send up smoke signals….. from the smoking guns being used on our streets? When can we call TIME and get help from specialised, trained units that are available to deal with the situation we are in? When do we reach the required number of shootings and deaths that bloody our streets and reputation in order to ask for this help? What is the number needed? The gangs, I am sure, will help to provide whatever is the required figure.

How much more TIME do we need to order and pass legislation so the RCIPS can do their job? With all due respect, H.E. Governor Taylor, and I am changing my plea from ‘I’ to ‘We’: “We, the country, cannot wait anymore. There is no time left. We need action NOW. PLEASE provide it. This was once a peace loving country where everyone felt safe. We want these murderous swine locked away and (quite frankly) we don’t care how you do it. GET THE JOB DONE. PLEASE!!!”

KINGSTON (AP): Fraudsters in downtown Kingston are taking advantage of rising land values and increasing demand for property by capturing abandoned premises and registering them in their names.

“We are seeing a new phenomenon where persons are capturing some of these properties and running to the tax office to pay up the back taxes with the hope of acquiring these by adverse possession,” said Town Clerk Errol Greene.

Adverse possession allows a person who is in possession of land as a mere squatter to pay the outstanding property tax and obtain a good title if the true owner fails to assert his rights to the land within a specified period.

The law also prohibits the real owner of the land from bringing action to recover the property after the expiration of 12 years.

But Greene noted that in many cases in downtown Kingston, the persons who have rushed to pay the back taxes have never lived on the property.

“We have seen quite a number of cases reported to the police where, when it is investigated, that is what is found,” Greene said as he condemned the practice.

“People are now seeing the value of land ownership in downtown Kingston,” added Greene.

But another participant in the Editors’ Forum, businessman

James Josephs, was not as critical of the practice.

“You can’t just have a piece of property and it sits down and melts away and for 20 years you are not paying land tax, and all of a sudden you hear downtown is being redeveloped and you run back,” argued Josephs.

“Everybody in Jamaica knows that if you pay another man’s land tax for seven years, the property becomes yours,” added Josephs.

However, head of the Kingston Central Police Division, Super-intendent Steve McGregor, noted that in many instances, property owners had to abandon their property because of the lawlessness in downtown Kingston before the May 2010 incursion by members of the security forces.

“A lot of people left their houses,

business places and land that they bought because they could not access it,” said McGregor.

“So it is not fair to say that they abandoned it and are coming back now... . Because of what is happening downtown now, people feel safe to come back for their lands,” added McGregor.

He expressed concern that the tax office was accepting money from persons without any proof of ownership or anything to show that they have connection to the land.

“I did not know that somebody could just go with no papers to show and tell the tax office that I have been living here without no proof about seven years or anything like that. They just start living on the land,” said McGregor.

He recounted a case where a woman abandoned her property because she was unable to collect any rent from the tenants for more than 10 years.

There has been a sharp increase in the demand for property in downtown Kingston over the past two years, pushing up land prices.

Prime Minister Bruce Golding recently told The Gleaner that he has seen examples that suggest the price of real estate in downtown Kingston has more than doubled in the last two years.

Head of the Kingston Restoration Company, Morin Seymour, has also reported a sharp increase in requests for property in the market district.

“There is a steady call that comes in from people looking for land almost daily,” Seymour told those present at the forum, which was held at The Gleaner’s North Street offices.

Members of the Legislative Assembly last week passed a version of the Gender Equality Bill that incorporated feedback from community organisations and professional associations.

The Ministry of Gender Affairs spent the month of August working with the Attorney General’s chambers to make amendments that would address certain concerns raised by various groups. Among the changes were: a commencement date of January 31, 2012; revised definitions of employer and sexual harassment; and an additional clause to address the issue of the liability for employers.

Gender Affairs Minister Mike Adam says the Ministry believed that it was important to show consideration for the views of various sectors of the community whose participation would be integral to the Law’s successful implementation.

The Bill was also amended as a result of Government giving consideration to points raised during the debate in the Legislative Assembly. These amendments included only private households being given exemptions in regards to section 4(1) of the Bill which addresses recruitment practices.

Additional amendments include linking Sections 23 and 24 in order to clearly specify the independence and function of the Tribunal in hearing cases; removing the number of years of experience required for the Chairperson of the Gender Equality Tribunal; revising Section 26 that changes the tenure of members to be at the pleasure of the Governor-in-Cabinet; and adding an additional subsection to Section 29 that would include any other sufficient cause for which the Governor-in-Cabinet could remove a member of the Gender Equality Tribunal.

“The successful passage of this Bill will help us move forward and become a society where gender equality is both the expected and actual norm. The Ministry of Community Affairs,

Gender and Housing believes that the outcome of this Bill will be an enhanced quality of life for us all and a brighter employment future for our daughters and sons,” Minister Adam remarks.

He adds that it was important to acknowledge and respond to the concerns expressed by members of the legal and business community.

Before the Bill can become Law, it must receive the assent of the Governor and be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. This is expected to occur before the commencement date, contained in the Bill, of January 31, 2012.

The next steps towards the implementing the Bill will be the launch of a public education campaign, and the establishment of the Gender Equality Tribunal.

Following the Bill’s passage through the Legislative Assembly, Government will also now be able to make further representation to the United Kingdom to have the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) extended to the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Drama Society is performing a new version of the long-running Broadway musical, Godspell, at the Prospect Playhouse.

The musical consists of a series of Jesus’ parables, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew plus three parables found in the Gospel of Luke. They are interspersed with a variety of songs, backed with modern music, but based mainly on lyrics to traditional hymns.

Godspell’s power is in the opportunity it gives the audience to hear Jesus’ timeless words, which stay very close to the gospel record, in a fresh, up-to-date setting.

The new production builds on the spirit of the original, which first appeared in 1971 off Broadway and was set on the streets of New York, by changing the setting yet again. In the new version Jesus (expertly played by Shane Allenger) is portrayed as a bartender, and all his followers are trendy night-clubbers. Explaining the changes, Director Teri Quappe said:

“I sat one night in January ’11 trying to figure out how to make my production of Godspell stand out from all of the other productions that have been done. The original concept of the show was set in a New York City street…I decided on a nightclub for my setting, and my cast to be clubbers- we have many different decades of

clubbers represented. “The hard part was, I needed to figure

out how to portray Jesus and thought that a bartender would be the perfect fit. He becomes the leader. In normal life, in some cases, the bartender can also be our ‘counsellor’ who helps people sort through problems.”

The singing and acting are excellent throughout, and the music benefits from the band, “The Holey Spirits” who are actually the members of the popular local band, “Sea ‘n’ B.”

Godspell’s producer, Leo Bloom said: “This musical takes the same words and lessons we have heard spoken from pulpits since childhood and brings them to a common-man level where they are made fresh and memorable as we watch the parables come alive.

“Examples are the unmerciful servant throttling his fellow servant, the older son in the prodigal son whining his displeasure to the father

about what he jealously perceives as anunfairness; and the priest and the Levite stepping over the injured man in the good samaritan. All of these are brought to life not by a preaching Jesus, but by a Jesus walking amongst his people, touching them, cajoling them, singing with them.

“There are some who may feel the words of our dear lord belong in a church and shouldn’t be the fodder of a musical show. For those people who can receive the word directly to their heart, that is a blessing. But others will find our Godspell production a refreshing message. Perhaps something the un-churched haven’t heard in a number of years. Especially for those lost sheep, we of the Godspell production are delighted to bring the word in a memorable way.”

Godspell opens at the Prospect Playhouse on Thursday 22 September and runs until 9 October. Tickets are available by calling 9495054.

Over the past week there has been a baby boom for the highly endangered species of the blue iguana in the San Diego Zoo,

Two breeding females and their mates remain in the zoo in case the population in Cayman takes a downward turn despite the precautions taken by the Government to protect them.

Director of the Blue Iguana Programme, Frederic Burton said, “It’s a back up population that started years ago in the early stages.

“We’ve released 600 iguanas into the wild recently.”

Since 2007, the zoo has been part of an international effort to save the blue iguana. Despite intricate efforts at providing the right environment, results have been self-effacing producing around three or four hatchlings a year.

By 2002, the population had dropped to a few dozen and the Blue

Iguana Recovery Programme here teamed up with American zoos in a rescue effort.

The San Diego Zoo was a natural choice after its achievement in studying and captive-breeding the rock iguanas that live on the shorelines of the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The blue iguana is not yet out of danger because cats and dogs continue to eat its eggs and hurricanes are often a threat, but there are hopeful signs.

Foster’s Food Fair IGA introduces another “green” initiativeFoster’s Food Fair IGA is pleased to announce the recent recycling initiative to send cardboard bales to a company in Miami called Miami Waste Paper.

Every week a container of about 40 bales weighing anywhere from 600-1100 pounds is sent to this Miami based company. Companies such as Miami Waste Paper, collect large volumes of recyclable paper and cardboard materials, and sell it as raw material mostly to tissue mills, boxboard mills, and overseas paper manufacturers.

This initiative is another way for Foster’s to continue to help the environment and build on the “green” mission that we are trying to achieve. As much cardboard as we go through daily we found it necessary to find a way to alleviate some of the problems the island is currently facing with the landfill and amount of garbage that is placed there daily. Our slogan

of “We Care” is more than just words, it is the way we approach every customer and any project that benefits the community stated Woody Foster, the Managing Director of Foster’s Food Fair IGA.

Since the Cayman BECOME

campaign we are continuously looking for avenues to enrich the community and help the environment. We again thank our customers for their continued support and will continue to serve the people of the Cayman Islands.

The “49ers” – a group of some of the first students who attended the Cayman Islands High School that first opened its doors in 1949 – got together to meet and exchange memories with one another.

The first weekend meeting, over fried fish and fritters, was on Friday night at the Grapetree Café, Coe-Wood Beach in Bodden Town. Founder of the 49ers, Joan Wilson was there:

“I started it in 1991 or 1992,”she said. “The idea of it was to keep all my school friends from the Cayman Islands High School together. It was the first high-grade school - the other one was American, but this one was

on the British side of teaching…as my poem says, ‘geometry, algebra and proper English.’”

“The school originally started behind the library, in the old American huts that were there. The American navy was posted here in the war in 1942, and all those buildings were still there when the school started in 1949,” she added.

“I left the Triple C School, which was the American school run by the Chapel Church of God and went to this one when I was about 14, because it was run by the Presbyterian ministers. I graduated from there in 1952,” she said. “We were the first graduating class.”

Although Ms. Wilson has been organising the reunions for several years, recently others have helped. Liz Schofield helped to organise the reunion this year. She has a special link with the school’s beginning. “My father (John Gray) was the principal of the Cayman Islands High School in 1949,” she said.

“What we do is we have a group of us who get together to organise it. Joan started it off, and then in 1994, we started inviting friends from overseas. Normally classes in schools have 20-year and 10-year reunions, but we can’t wait for those – we have one every year.

“It’s a group that started off for those attending high school in 1949, right up till 1964. Anybody who went to school ‘behind the library,’ is part of the high school reunion… in 1964, when the school moved up to Walkers

Road, (by that time) the government had taken it over from the church,” Ms. Schofield said.

On Saturday evening, at the Seafarers Hall in Prospect, the group got together again, this time with the dual purpose of celebrating the 90th birthday of one of the very first teachers at the school, Ms. Olive Miller. During the evening, Ms. Miller was presented with a framed photograph of the moment when she met Her Majesty the Queen, during the Queen’s last visit to the Cayman Islands.

Ms. Wilson also read out a poem she had written, in Ms. Miller’s honour.

The meeting on Saturday night contained some very notable and distinguished ex-Cayman High School students, including ex-politicians, Mr. Norman Bodden and Mr. Truman Bodden.

Then Tita came in. “Annet is going away,” she said, softly; “she is going to school. The letter came to-day.”

“So Miss Vanhorn consents, does she? Excellent! Excellent!” Said Père Michaux, rubbing his hands, his eyes expressing a hearty satisfaction.

“When will you say ‘Excellent! Excellent!’ about me?” said Tita, jealously. “Before long,

I hope,” said the priest, patting her small head.

“But are you sure, Mon père?”

“Well, yes,” said Père Michaux, “on the whole, I am.”

He smiled, and the child smiled also; but with a deep quiet triumph remarkable in one so young.

It was still September; for great sorrows come, graves are made and turfed over, and yet the month is not out. Anne had written her letter immediately, accepting her grandaunt’s offer, and Père Michaux gave her approval and praise; but the others did not, could not, and she suffered from their silence. It made, however, no change in her purpose; she went about her tasks steadily, toiling all day over the children’s clothes, for she had used part of the money in her hands to make them comfortable, and part was to be given to Miss Lois. Her own garments troubled her little; two strong, plain black gowns she considered amply sufficient. Into the midst of this entire swift sewing suddenly one day came Rast.

“Why did I do it?” he said, in answer to everybody. “Do you suppose I was going to let Annet go away for a whole long year without saying even good-by? Of course not.”

“It is very kind,” said Anne, her tired eyes resting on his handsome face gratefully, her sewing for the moment cast aside. Her friends had not been over kind to her lately,

and she was deeply touched by this proof of attachment from her old playmate and companion. Rast expressed his affection, as usual, in his own way. He did not say that he had come back to the island because he wished to see her, but because he knew that she wished to see him. And Anne willingly agreed. Dr. Gaston, as guardian of this runaway collegian, gave him a long lecture on his escapade and its consequences, his interrupted studies, a long train of disasters to follow being pictured with stern distinctness. Rast listened to the sermon, or rather sat through it, without impatience: he had a fine sunny temper, and few things troubled him. He seldom gave any attention to subtleties of meaning, or under-currents, but took the surface impression, and answered it promptly, often putting to rout by his directness trains of reasoning much deeper than his own. So now all he said was, “I could not help coming, sir, because Annet is going away; I wanted to see her.” And the old man was silenced in spite of himself.

As he was there, and it could not be helped, Rast, by common consent of the island, was allowed to spend several days unmolested among his old haunts. Then they all began to grow restive, to ask questions,

and to speak of the different boats. For the public of small villages has always a singular impatience as to anything like uncertainty in the date of departure of its guests. Many a miniature community has been stirred into heat because it could not find out the day and hour when Mrs. Blank would terminate her visit at her friend’s mansion, and with her trunk and bag depart on her way to the railway station; and this not because the community has any objection to Mrs. Blank, or any wish to have her depart, but simply because

if she is going, they wish to know when, and have it settled. The few days over, Rast himself was not unwilling to go. He had seen Anne, and Anne was pressed with work, and so constantly threatened by grief that she had to hold it down with an iron effort at almost every moment. If she kept her eyes free from tears and her voice steady, she did all she could; she had no idea that Rast expected more. Rast meanwhile had learned clearly that he was a remarkably handsome, brilliant young fellow, and that the whole world was before him where to choose. He was fond of Anne; the best feelings of his nature and the associations of his whole boyhood’s life were twined round her; and yet he was conscious that he had always been very kind to her, and this coming back to the island on purpose to see her — that was remarkably kind. He was glad to do it, of course; but she must appreciate it. He began now to feel that as he had seen her, and as he could not in any case stay until she went, he might as well go. He yielded, therefore, to the first suggestion of the higher powers, saying, however, frankly, and with real feeling, that it was hard to bid farewell for so long a time to his old playmate, and that he did not know how he could endure the separation.

I have a number of very ‘arty’ friends and when I sat ‘arty’ I mean in the art of painting. Some of them are very successful but the majority are struggling. It is not that the successful ones are more talented. Even they will admit they are not. When I say talented I mean in the artistic sense. The successful ones have a talent for selling their paintings and they are willing to share their tips for success.

Before you do any painting at all, afford yourself the time to do your market research. One of the biggest reasons for artists failing in their pursuit to become professional is a lack of understanding of what the market wants. Go out there into the World and see what’s on offer and what is selling. Galleries are full of pictures that don’t sell so ignore those. Ask the proprietor to show you what sells best and why and to whom?

Secondly, remember that what you are seeing for sale is what was created for last season. Most galleries stock prints these days for the mass market so you need to know what is coming next rather than what is on show now.

You must ensure that you visit the trade shows to see what the publishers, independents and importers are offering next seasons market. Even this will meet you a step behind as the artists on display there are already working on next season’s ideas. However, by taking guidance from the trade show you can at least sell to the galleries armed with colours and themes in current context. Most importantly, talk to the publishers about your work and ask them about the process of presenting yourself for consideration.

If you are satisfied to sell your work as ‘original only’ you will need to form relationships with the galleries. The value of art is in its perception by the viewer. Aim high and get the best wall space you can.

Talk to several gallery owners and

listen to what they have to say. Wall space is valuable so they won’t waste it. You will need a thick skin at times so be prepared for harsh criticism. No matter who you are, some will love your work while others will hate it.

Discuss a fair retail price based on a fair price for you and the gallery. If you are happy with a price don’t start flinching when the gallery says they will sell it for maybe over double your price. They have to charge tax for a start, then cover all their expenses and actually find you a buyer before they see any profit for their trouble.

Wherever your work is on show, make an effort to accompany it so you can talk to prospective customers. Art buyers love to meet the artist in person and you can do yourself a great deal of good by putting in an appearance. Talk to the Gallery, they are sure to welcome such proposals.

If you are going to sell your work yourself, make use of every opportunity to gain exposure. There are a number of websites that cater for this eg. “Debut Day – Launch Yourself” at www.debutday.com, “Original Art Online” at www.originalartonline.com and “Art.com” at www.art.com.

When you create new works try and adopt a theme for a collection. Single pieces do little to help the buying public form an opinion about you or your work. Some will want to find an artist to collect, so unless they can see more than one example of your work they will find this difficult to do. Don’t settle for one painting, aim for at least three or four in a set, it will

do much for your credibility and will considerably assist your success.

Whatever you display for sale, make sure it is accompanied by a Title and a Written Explanation. The buying public love a story, it helps them to understand your work, gain more from the imagery and, believe it or not, such background information will assist them with a good subconscious reason for purchasing. Your information will make them an ‘informed buyer’. This will in turn allow them to impress their friends when they come to call.

Finally, the biggest mistakes artists make is to try and be something they are not or to try and convince the public of such. Painting a woman with an eye on the side of her head does not make you Picasso.

The first rule of creativity is to be true unto yourself, unsuppressed by the need to conform to what others expect or may perceive as ‘art’. If you do not allow yourself this right of expression you will rarely find joy in painting. But then you must be able to step out of the ‘real you’ and find a way of harnessing your talent in a commercial way and conform to your market research. Yes, it does sound a contradiction. One of iNews’ graphic artists does not agree with all the above advice. She says, “In my short but intense experience I believe that a person who likes art should definitely go into ‘the art world’ to look at more art and try to understand it in the right context. Not only what the curator of the gallery owner says is “good art” or “bad art”.

Our Eye OPINION

Georgina [email protected]



CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA scientists are doing their best to tell us where a plummeting six-ton satellite will fall later this week. It’s just that if they’re off a little bit, it could mean the difference between hitting Florida or landing on New York. Or, say, Iran or India.

Pinpointing where and when hurtling space debris will strike is an imprecise science. For now, scientists predict the earliest it will hit is Thursday U.S. time, the latest Saturday. The strike zone covers most of Earth.

Not that citizens need to take cover. The satellite will break into pieces, and NASA put the chances that somebody somewhere on Earth will get hurt at 1 in 3,200. But any one person’s odds of being struck have been estimated at 1

in 21 trillion.As far as anyone knows, falling

space debris has never injured anyone. Nor has significant property damage been reported. That’s because most of the planet is covered in water and there are vast regions of empty land.

If you do come across what you suspect is a satellite piece, NASA doesn’t want you to pick it up. The space agency says there are no toxic chemicals present, but there could be sharp edges. Also, it’s government property. It’s against the law to keep it as a souvenir or sell it on eBay. NASA’s advice is to report it to the police.

The 20-year-old research satellite is expected to break into more than 100 pieces as it enters the atmosphere, most of it burning up. Twenty-six of the heaviest metal

parts are expected to reach Earth, the biggest chunk weighing about 300 pounds. The debris could be scattered over an area about 500 miles long.

Jonathan McDowell, for one, isn’t worried. He is in the potential strike zone — along with most of the world’s 7 billion citizens. McDowell is with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.

“There’s stuff that’s heavy that falls out of the sky almost every year,” McDowell says. So far this year, he noted, two massive Russian rocket stages have taken the plunge.

As for the odds of the satellite hitting someone, “it’s a small chance. We take much bigger chances all the time in our lives,” McDowell says. “So I’m not putting my tin helmet on or hiding under a rock.”

All told, 1,200 pounds of wreckage is expected to smack down — the heaviest pieces made of titanium, stainless steel or beryllium. That represents just one-tenth the mass of the satellite, which stretches 35 feet long and 15 feet in diameter.

The strike zone straddles all points between latitudes 57 degrees north and 57 degrees south. That’s as far north as Edmonton and Alberta, Canada, and Aberdeen, Scotland, and as far south as Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America. Every continent but Antarctica is in the crosshairs.

Window bird feeders

One of the great things about living in the Cayman Islands is all the birds that are attracted by the plants. If you live in an apartment with limited public ‘green’ areas window bird feeders are another way to attract them.

There are plenty of different sizes and styles of bird feeders for you to choose from, each designed for a different type of bird. They are usually made with a one-way mirror so you can see through it to watch the birds but they see a reflection so they’re not scared by having you watching them.These feeders can be refilled

quite easily from the window, so you don’t need to leave the comfort of your home to refill them. This is especially useful if you are on an upper floor. There are various ways to mount them. Some have suction cups and stick to your window, others clip into the window frame. The ones that clip into the window frames are generally a better choice because they are a little more secure, but the suction cups used on bird feeders are better than most, and it’s rare that they lose their grip.Bird feeders are made from a

number of different materials, the most common being cedar and polycarbonate plastic. They are both resistant to the weather, however cedar is nice because it can be painted or decorated however you wish.Some birds are attracted to

certain colours so if you want to attract a specific species, being able to paint your feeder is helpful.

APPLY SUNSCREEN PROPERLY.

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.

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.

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 playingoutdoors during these hours, make sure to apply ample sunscreen.

Victoria Anderson is project coordinator of the Cayman Islands Cancer Society.

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.

Jaguars to start rookie QB Gabbert at Panthers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are turning to rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert.Coach Jack Del Rio named

Gabbert the starter Wednesday, switching signal callers three days after Luke McCown threw four interceptions against the New York Jets.Del Rio met with Gabbert

and McCown on Wednesday morning, then told other players about the switch at a team

meeting. Gabbert will start Sunday at Carolina.The transition was inevitable

since the Jaguars selected Gabbert with the 10th pick in April’s draft. Del Rio had hoped to take it slow with the former Missouri standout, even planning to give him a year to watch and learn behind David Garrard. But Garrard had his worst preseason as a starter and was outplayed by McCown, a career backup.Del Rio named McCown the

starter five days before the season opener. But his ninth career start was a debacle. He was picked off four times, and could have thrown a couple more, and was sacked for a safety — in just three quarters.Gabbert replaced McCown to

start the fourth, and completed 5 of 6 passes for 52 yards in relief.Gabbert threw 40 touchdown

passes and 18 interceptions as a two-year starter at Missouri.

Dodgers’ Kershaw beats Giants 2-1 for 20th win

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw impressed just about everybody except himself in becoming the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first 20-game winner in 21 years. Fittingly, his accomplishment came against a team he has dominated this season.Kershaw improved to 5-0

against San Francisco with a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night that pushed the Giants closer to elimination from the NL West race.

Kershaw (20-5) allowed six hits and one run in 7 1-3 innings, walked two and struck out six to become the first Dodgers pitcher to go 5-0 against the Giants since Vic Lombardi in 1946. He did it on what would have been Lombardi’s 89th birthday.“Don’t overthink it,”

Kershaw said of his strategy against the Dodgers’ biggest rival. “You have a tendency sometimes when you face a team over and over to try to change things.”Four of those victories came

against two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, with Kershaw allowing one earned run in those games. That came on an eighth-inning homer by Chris Stewart.“It’s frustrating, obviously,”

Lincecum said. “But when you go up against a guy like that who’s having a year like this, you’ve got to be on your game.”

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (22) is congratulated by fans and teammates after being removed playing against the San Francisco Giants.



The 27th Annual Foster’s Food Fair 800M Sea Swim started promptly despite the dark skies, torrential rain and thunder and lightning that had covered most of the western end of Grand Cayman earlier in the day.

Once again, as has happened in the past, the weather moved on and the Sea Swim went on as planned – with perhaps a few less swimmers than if the day had not begun on such a stormy note.

This year’s swim drew a crowd of 108 participants, made up of members of the competitive swimming community including the Stingray, Camana Bay Aquatic and Master’s Hammerhead Swim Clubs as well as regular sea swim enthusiasts.

Congratulations to all those who came out and enjoyed the beautifully calm sea despite the earlier weather;

and, special mention must be made of the youngest swimmers Marisa Poole, who at the ripe old age of 5 years old already has 4 sea swims under her belt having completed her first at the age of 3, who finished 101st overall with a time of 26:25:5 and Lachlin Lambert who finished 105th in a time of 34:19:2.

In an exciting, almost too close to call, finish Geoff Butler was first across the line in a time of 10:08:9 minutes followed closely by Alex McCallum in 10:10:7 and brother Simon Butler was third in a time of 10:47:1. The first place female to cross the line, in seventh place overall, was Danielle Boothe in a time of 11:12:7, the second place female, in eighth place overall was Coral Tomascik in a time of 11:16:3 and third place female across the line was Lois Moody in a

time of 12:14:4. His Excellency the Governor, Duncan Taylor, another big swimming aficionado, took part once again coming in 23rd place overall.

With multiple family groups swimming together, the sea swim is a sporting activity which the whole family can participate in and, as has now become customary, members of the Foster Family also participated including Chi-Chi Foster who finished in 78th place overall and placed first in her age-group. Woody Foster, managing director of Foster’s Food Fair, was there at the finish to present the age-group winners with medals and trophies.

A full set of results can be viewed at www.caymanactive.com. The next swim is the Pirates Week 5K on November 12th at 8am.
