Police said yesterday they had found no drugs at the site of the Cayman Brac light-plane crash on Sunday night, but were treating the accident as ‘a suspicious incident”.

Investigations were continuing as officers trace the next-of-kin of the two men found in the wreckage, while a two-member team from Britain’s Air Accident Investigation Branch arrived on yesterday’s British Airways flight, scheduled to tour the crash site on the Bluff this morning.

“It occurred just before 11pm on Sunday,” Chief Inspector Raymond Christian told iNews Cayman yesterday, correcting an earlier statement saying the accident had occurred at 11:45pm.

“We can only presume the reason for landing was to refuel,” he said, but acknowledged that questions remained. Mr Christian visited the site just after the crash.

There was plenty of “Arghhh Me Hearties! “Yo-Yo–Hos” booms, bangs screams and other noises that let the world know the pirates had landed in George Town Harbour on Saturday. The Red Coats were there too, of course,

fighting them off as usual. But we all knew who was going to win, because that was how the pirates always take over for the launch of Pirates Week, for more than 30 years. Their invasion was followed by a spectacular float parade.

Remembrance Day this year marked the enlistment of 201 Caymanian men in the World War II Trinidad Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve.

The service took place on Sunday 13 November around the Cenotaph of Elmslie Memorial Church, Harbour Drive.

After all the uniformed organisations took their place around the cross, the service began with the arrival of Acting Premier, Mr. Mike Adam, followed by the arrival of Acting Governor, Donovan Ebanks.

Following the Royal Salute by all the uniformed officers, H.E. The Acting Governor said: “They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Rev. Dr. Yvette Noble Bloomfield then announced the two-minute silence, which ended by the firing of the signal Gun.

All uniformed officers saluted, at the sound of a single trumpet playing The Last Post.

Captain Dale Ebanks read the poem, “The Inquisitive Mind of a Child”:“Why are they selling poppies, Mummy?Selling poppies in town today.The poppies, child, are flowers of love,For the men who marched away.

“But why have they chosen a poppy, Mummy?Why not a beautiful rose?Because my child, men fought and diedIn the fields where the poppies grow,”

Following the poem, wreaths were laid at the foot of the cross by Donovan Ebanks, Mike Adam; Leader of the Opposition Alden McLaughlin; members of the Cayman Islands Veterans Association, as well as leaders of all the different religions and denominations.

Reverend Nicholas Sykes and Pastor Alson Ebanks, offered up prayers, before the National Anthem was sung.

The Royal Salute and General Salute heralded the official end of the service.

Meanwhile, at the Cenotaph in London, Premier, McKeeva Bush and Deputy Speaker Cline Glidden paid their respects to Caymanian merchant sailors who lost their lives in World War II.

As the Premier was paying his respects at the monument he immediately noticed that there was a T.T. Ebanks who also died on the S.S. Culebra but there was no mention of this sailor in the records provided to the Premier. Now the Premier has asked Caymanians for their help in identifying this man and his family.

Peer gets Cayman roleA British Conservative peer has been given the top job in the Cayman Islands London office.Lord Blencathra, formerly

David MacLean before he was appointed to the UK’s House of Lords, has been appointed the director of the UK office. Premier Bush made the

announcement from the UK capital on Monday, having been called there by the OT minister. “It is vitally important that Cayman has a strong voice in Westminster and Brussels. “I am delighted that a politician

with David’s experience will ensure that our interests are protected at a time when tax neutral jurisdictions such as our own are the subject of such malicious and till- informed attacks.”Lord Blenchathra will

look at developing a more comprehensive understanding with the FCO and other governmental organisations in the UK of the financial management of the Cayman Islands, its economy and its day to day operations.Lord Blencathra said: “A

major part of my work will be to make people in the UK and Europe understand that allowing the Cayman Islands to maintain its leading position in world finance is also vital for the City of London and the whole of the UK economy.“As the world possibly enters

even more difficult financial times then we should all build on our strengths and maintain our family ties with those countries that have always stood by us. On both those counts that means that I will be working for the closest possible relationship and understanding between our two countries.”

The two-seater Cessna 210, he said, “had additional fuel containers on board,” 10 60-litre drums, with a 320-US- gallon capacity.

“Not all were filled with fuel, though.” he said. “Some were smashed up, and it’s possible they were used for fuel,” but he suggested other cargo may have been carried. “No drugs were found,” however, he said.

An official police statement yesterday afternoon repeated the claim that no drugs had been found, but did not elaborate, saying only “we cannot speculate at this time as to why the plane was in our jurisdiction.

“However,” it went on, “a full investigation is under way looking into all of the circumstances. The RCIPS is engaged in scene preservation and officers commenced a full search of the area, supported by customs colleagues, at 6am [Tuesday] morning.”

Aiding police, the Cayman Islands Airports Authority, which does not normally handle out-of-hours, non-airport-related accidents, issued a formal statement on Monday, saying police had dispatched a helicopter and identified the remains of one Mexican and one Colombian at the site.

Nicoela McCoy, spokesperson and director of commercial affairs, regulation and administration for the Civil Aviation Administration of

the Cayman Islands said yesterday “The CAACI is collaborating with the Aircraft Investigation Manager and the RCIPS regarding the aircraft accident that occurred on Cayman Brac overnight on Sunday night.

“The UK Aircraft Accident Investigation Branch has dispatched two representatives who will lead the investigation into the cause of the accident and develop a consequent accident report. As this is an on-going investigation there is no further comment at this time.” She declined to elaborate.

RCIPS investigator Stephen Fitzgerald, at the site yesterday afternoon, said officers were unable to identify the victims further because “we just don’t know who they are. Just because you have a name on a passport doesn’t mean you know.”

He said ‘there was no evidence they were going to refuel because it‘s not an appropriate landing spot,” but, pending further enquiries, was unable to say why the fuel drums were on board.

“We don’t know, we are looking for the why and when. It’s one of the most difficult things to investigate an aircraft when you don’t know where it took off from or where it was going. It is a jigsaw to put together.”

He acknowledged, however, that police “Were dealing with it as a suspicious incident”.

a man reported that his e-mail account had been hacked into and that people had been receiving e-mails, purporting to be from him, asking for cash.It also appears that people who

had hacked into his e-mail also tried to get into his bank account, but were unsuccessful.RCIPS is advising email account

owners who spot any suspicious activity to change their password immediately and to contact their bank to ensure that their accounts have not been compromised.Anyone who wishes to speak

London’s calling for Premier BushPremier McKeeva Bush returned yesterday evening from weekend financial talks in London, but will leave again on Saturday for next week’s Wednesday and Thursday Overseas Territories conference at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The weekend talks, sought by Mr Bush with Minister for Overseas Territories and MP Henry Bellingham, focused on the formal “Framework for Fiscal Responsibility” (FFR), a territories-wide effort to establish financial ground rules for sustainable revenues and expenditures.

Led by Mr Bush, the delegation included West Bay MLA and top aide Cline Glidden and political adviser Richard Parchment, seeking clarification on a range of issues raised by the proposed “Framework”, still being negotiated by the Cayman Islands government.

“The meeting was arranged a couple

of weeks ago, and there is quite a lot of business to be discussed,” said Steve Moore, spokesman in the Office of the Governor.

He said many of the territories had been presented with the FFR, although sources indicated yesterday that the Turks and Caicos Islands and Bermuda may not have the same document.

Both the British Virgin islands and Anguilla had been approached, however, he said.

In a formal statement released on the eve of the meeting, Mr Bush said the document sought to ensure “effective medium-term planning” while ensuring “value-for-money”, sound risk management and better accountability, all subjects broached in recent months by Cayman Auditor General Alastair Swarbrick.

Without mentioning Mr Swarbrick, however, Mr Bush pointed to government “reservations” about the document, specifically borrowing for the $8 million youth remand centre

and construction of schools, none of which will generate revenues.

Additionally, while revenues from Statutory Authorities and government-owned companies, such as Health Services and Cayman Airways, are not part of the framework, their debts are, making the document “overly restrictive”, according to Mr Bush.

“Theses are just examples of the areas of concern, but are not the only ones,” said one top financial adviser. “The FCO has not accepted the changes,” however, he said.

Mr Moore said the UK “hoped all the OTs” would sign the framework, but that “negotiations had been going on individually, and we have been talking for about a year.

“Cayman,” he said, “is a bit more advanced on the FFR negotiations, and we’d like to get [agreement] by the time of the conference. We’d really like that. We want to get a better picture of what the Cayman Islands might look like,” he said.

Mr Bush could not be reached by press time, but Press Secretary Charles Glidden said there was a certain urgency attached to the talks, “This thing has to be dealt with, and Mr Bush wanted these discussions, but not during the OT conference, and Mr Bellingham did not want them on that agenda”.

Why are they called pirates…? There was mayhem and merriment as the pirates invaded George Town.

At 3pm sharp the fun and festivities began – and went on long into the night.

Flanked by his trustee Redcoats, temporary Governor, played by Michael McLaughlin, was handed control of the Island from the real Governor Duncan Taylor.

But his reign didn’t last long after the invasion as control of Cayman was wrestled away from him.

Tens of thousands of visitors donned bandanas and eye-patches as it became cool to be a buccaneer.

For the remainder of the week, the rest of Cayman gets into the pirate spirit with events planned all over the Island.

Things seem to be changing for the better with The Royal Cayman

Islands Police Service with another successful prosecution. Hopefully, the tide has turned and the criminals at large will soon be quaking in their boots. Better still they might decide it is too risky and turn away from their present way of criminal activities. Yes, I do believe in fairy stories.

Elmer Wright, who was only 16 when he committed the crime of robbing Mostyns Esso last year, was found guilty on Thursday (10) by visiting judge, Justice Smith. Mr. Wright was very lucky to have escaped an even bigger crime of attempted murder. However, he was convicted also of possession and use of an unlicensed firearm as well as possession of ammunition relating to the gas station heist and firing at two police officers, which were in a pursuing car.

Three robbers held up the gas station in June 2010 but only Wright was arrested and charged. They threatened a female attendant in the store and a customer was butted with one of the rifles they had. They fled with over $1,000 in cash. A police car on routine patrol spotted the robbers making their getaway in a vehicle and gave chase. In Northward Road, the suspects abandoned the car, and Wright fired his shotgun at the police car.

If someone fires a shotgun at a car I am driving I would have no hesitation in believing he is trying to kill me. Justice Smith, however, said the fact that the defendant had fired towards such a large target and had missed the vehicle completely created reasonable doubt and he could not be sure the defendant was attempting to kill anyone, so he acquitted him of that count. I must wonder then exactly what Wright was trying to do. Thankfully, Wright is a lousy shot for both himself and the police officers who were unarmed. I can only imagine that the police officers were definitely of the opinion he was trying to kill them.

Now for something totally different…. A friend

informed me last week about the controversial issue of how many directorships are reasonable for an independent director or how much time should be allocated to each fund and even the rate of fees they charge. On Friday 18th November Cayman Fund Focus 2011’s “Call of Duty” will be discussing this topic. Jason D. Papastavrou, of private investment firm Aris Capital Management, LLC will be going head to head with Don Seymour of DMS Management. It will be interesting to find out how many of these directorships these gentlemen actually hold. The role of independent directors in fund structures and director standards have been pushed to the forefront after the Grand Cayman Grand Court judgment delivered in August of this year in the case of Weavering Macro Fixed Income Fund (In Liquidation) v Peterson and Ekstrom.

On 26 August 2011 the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands handed down a landmark judgment which saw two independent directors of a failed hedge fund hit with a damages bill for US$111m. In a reasoned judgment, Mr. Justice Andrew Jones stated unequivocally that when it comes to exercising a supervisory role the independent directors of a company can only discharge their duties properly if they “apply their minds and exercise an independent judgment, in the ordinary course of business, in respect of all the matters falling within the scope of their supervisory responsibilities” and at no point may they “assume the posture of automatons”.

It would now seem merely to pay ‘lip service’ to the legal requirements of directors will be a thing of the past. It might be more than just criminals quaking in their boots at this judgement.

Apologies to Mr. Loxley BanksIn our lead story in Issue 137 headlined “It’s Rubbish Mr. Bush” we unfortunately called the well known Radio Cayman celebrity, Mr. Loxley Banks, as (E)Banks. iNews Cayman apologises to Mr. Banks for this mistake.

A drug and alcohol intervention is a process of overcoming the barriers, getting across to the addicts and making them realise where they stand and what can be done to come out of the spell of substance addiction.

Intervention for drug abuse is a wake up call for someone who is going off the deep end. It is an attempt to put a safety net under the person whose life is spiraling downwards out of control. Successful interventions are behavioural interrupters. They address the problem, set boundaries, and offer solutions. They penetrate the addict’s denial system and are a turning point in their life and ideally result in the individual going into a drug and alcohol rehab programme.

A drug and alcohol intervention is an honest, heartfelt, communication. Intervention is an opportunity for family, friends and co-workers to say, “Hey, we’re watching you die, Man. It’s tearing our hearts out. What you do affects us too! We want you to get some help!” An intervention of truth, piercing the protective armour of denial, is an incredible gift of love. It is opportunity of hope for a new life, for both the addict and his family.

Recovery does not have to be a painful process. Life is painful enough. Recovery should feel good. New alternative treatments that are holistic in nature are having remarkable results.

What is holistic? Wikipedia defines ‘holistic health’ as “a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people’s needs, psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole. As defined above, the holistic view on treatment is widely accepted in medicine. A different definition, claiming that disease is a result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance, is used in alternative medicine.”

The concept of holistic health is very old and has been around for approximately 5,000 years. This strain of medical practice developed in India and China but is present in many areas of the world. Around the 1970’s, the holistic health approach became much more popular and accepted as a form of medicine in North America. Socrates contributed to one of the main ideas behind holistic health through his belief that the body cannot be thought of as multiple organs and parts, but as a whole single

unit. The actual word “Holism” originated in 1926 from Jan Christiaan Smuts, even though it had been practised for centuries before this.

In the past, addicts have resisted treatment, because it seemed more painful and difficult, than their active addiction. Thankfully, times have changed. Alternative treatment modalities have come a long way from the old days ‘break them down, let them suffer and feel the pain so they don’t do this again mentality. Today, we know there is a lot more to recovery than shoving the twelve steps down someone’s throat.

Healthy treatment does not just give you a time out, put a Band-Aid on a wound the size of a decubitus ulcer, and send you on your way. Healthy treatment does not shame or degrade a human being; instead it heals low self-esteem and empowers the individual to reach new heights. Healthy treatment gives you what you need to feel good physically, emotionally and spiritually. Healthy treatment reignites the spirit and restores the joy of living. Healthy treatment is holistic treatment of mind, body and spirit.

Recently the Art & Entertainment Networks show INTERVENTION, introduced America to a heroin addict using in her bathroom. We witnessed her progress while in treatment at North Miami’s G&G Holistic Addiction Treatment Programme, better known as THE HOLISTIC CENTER. A sober year later, this woman is now working for the treatment centre that helped her on her path to recovery. The before and after pictures are astonishing. We see two different people: 1) a heroin addict standing in a six hour long vegetative state in front of her bathroom mirror, nodding off after shooting up, and 2) a bright eyed, confident, joyful woman who is an inspiration to others, and who is self-supporting financially and

emotionally. Her intervention was the bridge that transported her from the dead zone and gave her the opportunity to recover.

Think of it as an intervention of a cargo ship that transports the addict from active addiction to a destination, which is the protection of a addiction treatment facility. The captain is the facilitator. The crew is made up of trusted family, friends, and co-workers. You have done your research and have a timetable and destination in mind.

Your cargo is your loved one and his emotional baggage. As Captain, you must steer the ship. Each crew member takes a turn at the helm, speaking his truth in love, chipping away at the addict’s anchor of denial. By the time each person has shared their truth, feelings, needs, fears, and hope, the family will have travelled a great distance from denial into truth, and thoroughly defined the problem. It is now time to offer a solution.

Holistic Treatment is a solution, a blessing. Imagine treatment as a well of healing waters, not a prison from which you need to escape. It is imperative that the addict understands they are receiving a gift, not punishment. Regardless of the mask of arrogance and defiance, the core of every addict is shame, guilt, self-hatred and fear. Love motivates and empowers. Acceptance waters the soul and facilitates healing and spiritual wellness.

In this day and age, when addiction recovery treatment is a billion dollar industry with pitiful success ratios, it is imperative to know that there is HOLISTIC TREATMENT that works, addressing the mind, body, and soul. Holistic treatment not only has the highest recovery rates, individuals seem to thrive, find genuine happiness, joy for living, and peace of mind.

AnnePart 75

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson

“Miss Vanhorn had no intention of betraying her impression for the amusement of her ancient enemy”

Anne greeted her grandaunt with the same mixture of timidity and hope, which she had shown at their first interview. But Miss Vanhorn’s face stiffened into rigidity as she surveyed her.

“She is impressed at last,” thought the old Frenchwoman, folding her hands contentedly and leaning back in her chair, at rest (temporarily) from her labors.

But if impressed, Miss Vanhorn had no intention of betraying her impression for the amusement of her ancient enemy; she told Anne curtly to put on her bonnet, that she had come to take her for a drive. Once safely in the carriage, she extracted from her niece, who willingly answered, every detail of her acquaintance with Helen, and the holiday visit, bestowing with her own eyes, meanwhile, a close scrutiny upon the black dress, with whose texture and simplicity even her angry annoyance could find no fault.

“She wants to get something out of you, of course,” she said, abruptly, when the story was told; “Helen Lorrington is a thoroughly selfish woman. I know her well. She introduced you, I suppose, as Miss Vanhorn’s niece?”

“Oh no, grandaunt. She has no such thought.”

“What do you know of her thoughts? You continue to go there?”

“Sometimes, on Sundays—when she asks me.”

“Very well. But you are not to go again when company is expected; I positively forbid it. You were not brought down from your island to attend evening parties. You hear me?”

“Yes.”“Perhaps you are planning for a situation

here at Moreau’s next winter?” said the old woman, after a pause, peering at Anne suspiciously

“I could not fill it, grandaunt; I could only teach in a country school.”

“At Newport, or some such place, then?”“I could not get a position of that kind.” “Mrs. Lorrington could help you.”“I have not asked her to help me.”“I thought perhaps she had some such idea

of her own,” continued Miss Vanhorn. “You can probably prop up that fife-like voice of hers in a way she likes; and besides, you are

a good foil for her, with your big shoulders and bread-and-milk face. You little simpleton, don’t you know that to even the most skillful flirt a woman friend of some kind or other is necessary as background and support?”

“No, I did not know it,” said Anne, in a disheartened voice.

“What a friend for Helen Lorrington! No wonder she has pounced upon you! You would never see one of her manœuvres, although done within an inch of you. With your believing eyes, and your sincerity, you are worth your weight in silver to that straw- faced mermaid. But, after all, I do not interfere. Let her only obtain a good situation for you next year, and pay you back in more useful coin than fine dresses, and I make no objection.”

She settled herself anew in the corner of the carriage, and began the process of extracting a seed, while Anne, silent and dejected, gazed into the snow-covered street, asking herself whether Helen and all this world were really as selfish and hypocritical as her grandaunt

represented. But these thoughts soon gave way to the predominant one,

The one that always came to her when with Miss Vanhorn—the thought of her mother. “During the summer, do you still live in the old country house on the Hudson, grandaunt?”

Miss Vanhorn, who had just secured a seed, dropped it. “I am not aware that my old country house is anything to you,” she answered, tartly, fitting on her flapping glove- fingers, and beginning a second search.

A sob rose in Anne’s throat; but she quelled it. Her mother had spent all her life, up to the time of her marriage, at that old river homestead.

Soon after this, Madame Moreau sent out cards of invitation for one of her musical evenings. Miss Vanhorn’s card was accompanied by a little note in Tante’s own handwriting.

“The invitation is merely a compliment which I give myself the pleasure of paying to a distinguished patron of my school” (wrote the old French lady). “There will be nothing worthy of her ear—a simple school-girls’ concert, in which Miss Douglas (who will have the kind assistance of Mrs. Lorrington) will take

part. I cannot urge, for so unimportant an affair, the personal presence of Miss Vanhorn; but I beg her to accept the enclosed card as a respectful remembrance from

“HORTENSE -PAULINE MOREAU.”“That will bring her,” thought Tante,

sealing the missive, in her old-fashioned way, with wax.

She was right; Miss Vanhorn came. Anne sang first alone. Then with Helen.

“Isn’t that Mrs. Lorrington?” said a voice behind Miss Vanhorn.

“Yes. My Louise tells me that she has taken up this Miss Douglas enthusiastically—

Comes here to sing with her almost every day.”

“Who is the girl?”Miss Vanhorn prepared an especially rigid

expression of countenance for the item of relationship which she supposed would follow. But nothing came; Helen was evidently waiting for a more dramatic occasion. She felt herself respited; yet doubly angry and apprehensive.

Philippine court allows Arroyo to travel abroadMANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine Supreme Court on Tuesday gave former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo permission to leave the country, overruling her successor, who has said she might never return because of a corruption investigation.

The justices voted 8-5 to issue a temporary restraining order, allowing Arroyo to travel, court spokesman Midas Marquez said.

Arroyo has said she wants to get medical treatment abroad for a bone ailment. She had petitioned the court to scrap the government’s travel ban against her, saying it was a violation

of her rights.President Benigno Aquino III last

week refused to lift the ban, saying Arroyo might not come back. He offered to fly in any foreign doctors she chose at the government’s expense, but Arroyo refused.

Arroyo, now a member of Congress, is under investigation by the Justice Department for allegations of plunder and election sabotage during her 2001-2010 presidency. She has denied any wrongdoing.

The government cited her possible flight from justice because the countries she said she wanted to travel to have no extradition treaties with

the Philippines. They include Austria, Spain, Singapore and Germany.

Last week, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she was checking reports that Arroyo was seeking asylum in the Dominican Republic.

Chelsea Clinton is hired by NBC NewsNEW YORK (AP) — Chelsea Clinton began work at NBC News on Monday, the second daughter of a former president at the network. NBC said it had hired the 31-year-old Clinton to work on projects for “NBC Nightly News” and Brian Williams’ newsmagazine, “Rock Center.” She will report stories for the feel-good “Making a Difference” series.

The only child of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is pursuing a doctorate at Oxford and working for the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative.

Former President George W. Bush’s

daughter Jenna Bush Hager does stories for the “Today” show.

NBC said Chelsea Clinton wasn’t available for an interview, but issued a statement: “People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me.”

Recent “Making a Difference” stories highlighted a 7-year-old boy raising money for a friend with cancer by racing go-karts, a marathon runner raising money for his mother who suffers from Parkinson’s disease and rock star Bon Jovi opening a restaurant where people who cannot pay for meals

can do volunteer work to earn food.Besides Clinton and Hager, NBC

News also has just hired Meghan McCain, author of “Dirty Sexy Politics” and daughter of 2008 GOP presidential candidate John McCain.

Thai elephant park reopens in sign of recoveryAYUTTHAYA, Thailand (AP) — A huge work force in Thailand was back on the job Tuesday: the elephants famous for carrying tourists through the country’s ancient capital.

Authorities reopened a major elephant park in Ayutthaya, hoping to show tourists the country is beginning to return to normal following historic floods that have left more than 550 people dead nationwide.

Still, the prime minister said some parts of Bangkok could remain flooded into the New Year holiday period even though water is receding.

The pachyderms from the Ayutthaya Elephant Palace stood and sat with their mahouts — or handlers — through a prayer ceremony asking for blessings as the park opened for the first time since it was swamped in September.

The park is famous for offering tourists elephant rides through the ancient temple ruins that dot the city, a UNESCO World Heritage site 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Bangkok. Experts fear that at least half of the more than 200 waterlogged monasteries, fortresses and other monuments in the one-

time royal capital have been damaged by Thailand’s worst floods in more than half a century.

Parts of the city were covered in up to six feet (two meters) of water for more than a month.

Our Eye OPINION

If you’ve ever been convicted of a crime, no matter how small, you will carry that stigma with you because of that conviction. Unfortunately, even something as minor as a shoplifting charge or disorderly conduct conviction can make life difficult in so many areas.

Probably the area where a criminal record has the most impact is in applying for and getting a job. Even when countries have laws against discrimination, and even where not hiring somebody because of a past criminal offence is considered discrimination, these laws are constantly being broken and are almost impossible to prove.

If you look at any typical job application there is almost always a section that asks if you’ve ever been arrested or convicted of a crime other than a motor vehicle offence. Many ex-convicts are hesitant to fill out this section because they are afraid that it will cost them the job. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter because if the employer checks, the conviction will turn up unless it was while the person was a juvenile.

One of the few industries that does take ex-criminals are restaurants and catering companies, but again not all. Small independent restaurants are the best bet. There are also temporary employment agencies that primarily work with the service industry. However, someone with a criminal record may have to put in extra work to get hired. Some construction companies also will take on an ex criminal if he has certain skills.

Gaining employment isn’t the only place where an ex-convict has problems. If you are not a citizen of the Cayman Islands and you need a work permit to be employed here and you have a criminal record, don’t bother to apply. You will not get one. If you were a visitor here

and/or gainfully employed and you committed a crime on these islands you will not be permitted to enter this country even as a visitor. This situation does not only apply here. In most countries, if you have a criminal record, you are unwelcome. Every country has more criminals they want of their own without you adding to their list.

There is the social aspect of his or her life that probably gets the biggest beating. Imagine a guy meeting a nice girl, taking her out for a drink or maybe dinner, they get to talking and the girl asks what he’s been doing with himself. Now if he’s been out of prison for a long period of time this can be fairly easy to get around. But if he’s just been newly released from jail and has been out of society for a while getting around the issue is close to impossible.

In the same situation, hardened criminals who have been serving a long sentence and are just not used to being in society, have a hard time fitting in as it is. Their appearance will be different from most. Their actions will seem strange. They will seem ill at ease with their surroundings. This isn’t

opinion. There are studies that show how difficult it is for an ex-convict to get back into normal society. Ultimately, the girl will either find out he was in prison or he will have to tell her. Studies show that the percentage of relationships that actually succeed under these conditions is very small. In most cases the girl will break it off as gently as possible.

There is an old saying that goes, “Once a criminal always a criminal”. While this isn’t always true, unfortunately, it is the perception of most people. We have a very hard time trusting somebody who has been convicted of a crime. Why? Simple. If they stole or injured or did something unlawful once, what’s to say they won’t do it again? In our troubled world as it is, it’s hard to know who to trust, even if they don’t have a record. Certainly someone who has already gone down that road can’t be a good risk for getting into a relationship with.

Yes, unfortunately as much as we like to think of ourselves as a forgiving species, having a criminal record is usually a walking death sentence for ever having a normal life again.

At a ceremony held last Friday (11) at Government House, H.E Governor Duncan Taylor, announced four postage stamps were to be issued to commemorate four Cayman Island pioneers. These were:

Mrs. Almeria McLaughlin Tomlinson (1882-1974), the granddaughter of one of Cayman Brac’s first settlers, William Scott. Mrs. Scott was a highly respected midwife who delivered hundreds of babies from Spot Bay to West End and also in Little Cayman. Her payment was often in the form of fish, ground provisions, or days of gardening by the baby’s father.

Capt. Rayal Bodden, Snr. (1885-1976), was born into a family of shipbuilders and was our publisher, Joan Wilson’s uncle. Capt. Rayal built over 100 ships including the “Lady Slater”, the “Cimboco”, and two

minesweepers for the British Royal Navy. He also designed and helped construct Elmslie Memorial Church, General Post Office, Public Library, George Town Clock, and the town halls in West Bay, Bodden Town and East End. In 1971 he laid the cornerstone of the Legislative Assembly building.

Miss Irksie Leila Yates, Cert.Hon. (1899-1996), was a nurse and worked with Dr. Overton, the islands’ only doctor. She delivered many babies (over 1,000) and during the 1931 malaria epidemic was head nurse for government. In 1959 she opened a private clinic in her West

Bay home. After retiring at the age of 73 she devoted her time to the Mormon Church.

Major Joseph Rodriguez (Roddy) Watler (1890-1965), was Joan Wilson’s father. For over 30 years, he was Cayman Islands Inspector of Police, warehouse keeper, lighthouse keeper, bailiff, customs officer, head of the Home Guard during the second World War and aide-de-camp to the Commissioner of the Cayman Islands and visiting governors. He holds eight medals including one for bravery for actions during the 1932 hurricane. He was given the title of Major by Sir Hugh Foot.

Also attending the ceremony was Dep. Premier, M/s Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, the Speaker of the House, Hon. Mary Lawrence, Postmaster General, Mrs. Sheena Glasgow, members of the Cayman Islands Philatelic Bureau and members of the families of the honourees.

Governor Taylor gave out framed plaques showing the first day covers of the Pioneers stamps with a speech. Other speakers were Dep. Premier O’Connor-Connolly and Postmaster General Glasgow.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years at the bargaining table led nowhere, so NBA players are ready to take their chances in a courtroom.

The players’ association rejected the league’s latest proposal for a new labor deal Monday and began disbanding, paving the way for a lawsuit that throws the season into jeopardy.

With All-Stars, role players, NBA champions and a new legal team crowding around them, union leaders announced the significant change in strategy, saying the collective bargaining process had “completely broken down.”

“This is where it stops for us as a union,” president Derek Fisher said.

And where the NBA’s “nuclear winter” starts.“We’re prepared to file this antitrust action

against the NBA,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “That’s the best situation where players can get their due process.”

And that’s a tragedy as far as Commissioner David Stern is concerned.

“It looks like the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy,” Stern said in an interview aired on ESPN. “It’s just a big charade. To do it now, the union is ratcheting up I guess to see if they can scare the NBA owners or something. That’s not happening.”

Hunter said players were not prepared to agree to Stern’s ultimatum to accept the current proposal or face a worse one, saying they thought it was “extremely unfair.” A day before players normally would have received their first paychecks, the NBPA’s website greeted visitors Monday with the following message:

“Error 404: Basketball Not Found. Please be patient as we work on resolving this. We are

sorry for the inconvenience.”:And they’re aware what this battle might cost

them. “We understand the consequences of potentially missing the season; we understand the consequences that players could potentially face if things don’t go our way, but it’s a risk worth taking,” union vice president Maurice Evans said. “It’s the right move to do.”

But it’s risky.Hunter said all players will be represented in

a class-action suit against the NBA by attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and David Boies — who were on opposite sides of the NFL labor dispute, Kessler working for the players, Boies for the league.

“Mr. Kessler got his way, and we’re about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA,” Stern told ESPN. “If I were a player ... I would be wondering what it is that Billy Hunter just did.”

The league already has filed a pre-emptive lawsuit seeking to prove the lockout is legal and contends that without a union that collectively bargained them, the players’ guaranteed contracts could legally

be voided.During oral arguments on Nov. 2, the NBA

asked U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe to decide the legality of its lockout, but he was reluctant to wade into the league’s labor mess. Gardephe has yet to issue a ruling.

Two years of bargaining couldn’t produce a deal, with owners’ desires for more competitive balance clashing with players’ wishes to keep the salary cap system largely intact. The sides last met Thursday, when the league offered a revised proposal but told the players there would be no further negotiating on it.

Stern, who is a lawyer, had urged players to take the deal on the table, saying it’s the best the NBA could offer and advised that decertification is not a winning strategy.

Players ignored that warning, choosing instead to dissolve the union, giving them a chance to win several billion dollars in triple damages in an antitrust lawsuit.

“This is the best decision for the players,” Fisher said.

LONDON (AP) — Former Olympic 400-metre champion Michael Johnson doubts Usain Bolt will be able to win four gold medals at the London Games.

Bolt, who won the Athlete of the Year award on Saturday, said he would like to add the 1,600-metre relay to his repertoire for next year’s Olympics. Bolt won the 100, 200 and 400 relay golds at the 2008 Beijing Games.

“You can’t train for the 400 as well. It would be an absolute distraction and the training wouldn’t work,” Johnson told BBC radio on Tuesday. “I think he could be the world-record holder at 400 metres but he’s said that he has no interest in training for it, which I can understand — it’s a difficult race to train for.”

Bolt has long been rumoured to add the 400 — his share of the 1,600 relay — to his schedule, but has said he has no interest in the longer race and prefers to stay with the short sprints. He has also said he could one day compete in the long jump.

The last track star to win four gold medals at the same Olympics was Carl Lewis, the American great who won the 100, 200, 400 relay and long jump at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.

At this year’s world championships in Daegu, South Korea, Bolt won the 200 and helped Jamaica win the 400 relay, but he was disqualified because of a false start in the 100 final. Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake won in his absence.

“I see no reason why he shouldn’t be able to repeat as an Olympic gold medallist in the 100, 200 and the (400 relay), but the (1,600 relay) is

going to be tough,” said Johnson, who won the 200 and 400 golds at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 400 in Sydney four years later.

“Without him, the Jamaican team certainly doesn’t have enough 400 runners to beat the United States. They could beat the U.S. possibly with him on the team if he was training for the 400, but he can’t just step onto the track and run a 44 or a 43-second split just off 100 and 200 training.”

In order to have a chance of making the team, Johnson said Bolt will need to run some competitive 400s before the Olympics, which open on July 27.

“I don’t see the Jamaican coaching staff putting him on the (1,600) relay unproven,” Johnson said. “That means he’s got to go out there and run some 400s during the season, in order to prove that he should be on that relay.”

Els knows good and bad of playing Royal Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Ernie Els knows what Royal Melbourne can do to a golfer, probably more than anyone.Els was a member of the

International team that won the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne in 1998 and had three straight wins on the Alister Mackenzie-designed course at the Heineken Classic.His last came in 2004, when

he missed a chance at a magical 59 by one stroke in the opening round and nearly squandered an eight-shot lead in the final round before eking out a win over Adam Scott.Els says he’ll “take it

personally” if the United States, led by captain’s pick Tiger Woods, win the Presidents Cup again when play begins Thursday.“I’ve had some great

tournaments here in the past, a great win in ‘98 for our team,” Els said Tuesday. “It’s always nice having some experience winning on it.”Els also finished second in

the Heineken in 2005, the last tournament that was held at Royal Melbourne, which also coincided with Els’ last visit to play Down Under. The memories from the course, and particularly from 1998, are still vivid.“We jelled very well as a

team,” Els said. “I remember watching us play on the 18th hole, seeing some really big shots pulled off by the team, some amazing chip-ins. That was a really a great factor, we got the crowd behind us, and we rode that wave.”

At last… A POINT!

The Cayman Islands football team has finally managed to get a point in their failed attempt to reach the World Cup finals.

A single goal by Mark Ebanks helped the national side record a 1-1 draw on Monday – and take their points tally from zero to one.

On Friday afternoon they were trounced 4-0 by the Dominican Republic away from home and the return leg offered only hope of another defeat.

But in front of a small crowd at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex they managed to secure their first and only point of the campaign.

It means they will not end the Road to Brazil without registering anything other than defeats along the way.

It’s been a disappointing campaign for Cayman and now piles the pressure on manager Carl Brown.

Since taking over in the hot seat four

years ago the former Jamaican boss has lost 18 games, drawn six and won just two with a win percentage of less than 8%.

El Salvador top the group with Dominica in second place. Surinam, who also beat Cayman home and away, lie in third place.
