Daring thieves dressed as police officers during the latest armed robbery in Cayman.

Wearing black jackets with the word “POLICE” emblazoned on the back, two men threatened staff at the Texaco gas station on Eastern Avenue.

Monday night’s heist is the latest robbery to hit Cayman. Last Thursday gunmen held up Casanova by The Sea as diners ate.

And last week Amwescay Fashion was robbed. A woman was pistol whipped during a hold-up in Bodden Town and a man was threatened with a gun in Eastern Avenue for his jewellery.

Now the President of the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce has warned that the cost of living could dramatically rise if the robberies are not stopped.

Monday night’s gas station robbery happened around 10pm. Two masked men entered the premises wearing gloves and the fake police jackets.

Making people look and feel good about themselves is what 64-year old hair and makeup artist Jimmie DeLoach has been doing most of his life. And he loves it.

“It’s a part of me. I’ve been doing this for more than 35 years now. I love making people pretty and special,” he says.

Another thing Mr. DeLoach loves is his new home in the Cayman Islands and in addition to working in his regular job Mr. DeLoach has used his unique talent and experience to give what he can to the local community.

“I just love giving to Cayman. I’ve been living here for two years and unfortunately I can’t stay here forever but I do I want to leave part of me here, ” he said.

As soon as Mr. DeLoach, who currently works at La Mer Spa, in the Marriott Beach Resort, arrived in Cayman, he found that his deft skills were in plenty of demand. Since then he has been volunteering with a difference.

“I did the Zombie Driftwood movie makeup. There were lots of special effects prosthetic pieces, like an 8-ball coming out of actor Colin Wilson’s head in the bar scene…when he became a zombie,” he said.

“I started working with theatre productions and children’s workshops. I wanted to teach them how to make their own rubber noses and prosthetic pieces for their faces to become rabbits and squirrels and weasels. It was just wonderful.”

Originally from the US, makeup

and beauty has always been part of Mr. DeLoach’s life.

“My father and grandfather had hair salons in Macon, Georgia. I started following in their footsteps, doing hair and hairstyling for men and women. Then I got interested in amateur theatre and doing makeup and time-period hairstyling. I’ve probably done makeup for hundreds of plays,” he said.

Like all artists who strive for excellence, new doors began to open for Mr. DeLouch.

“I was also a reconstructive makeup artist for 25 years, restoring accident victims at funeral homes. I got called to work at funeral homes in Florida, Alabama, and many different cities in Georgia, because of my reputation,” he said.

It was experience that has come in helpful since moving here. Working from photographs of injury victims provided by St. Matthew’s medical college, Mr. DeLoach was able to makeup medical students so they looked just like real-life accident victims, so that other students could see what different injuries looked

like and get used to them. “I was also able to do the moulage

(a French word meaning “moulding”) makeup for the Cayman Island Airport Authority’s First Responders training – I made people look like they’d been in a plane crash,” he said.

From gruesome back to glamour, and Mr. DeLoach is excited with the idea of working with 20 of Cayman’s top models for the forthcoming ‘Fresh!’ Fashion show Catwalk Training Workshop, later in September.

“I’ll be sharing with the girls how to apply makeup that will enhance their careers for the rest of their lives,” he said.

Colorado dog celebrated for having such long ears

BHarbor has over two feet of ears. Does that make him a 6-foot dog?Probably not. But yesterday,

the black-and-tan coonhound from Boulder, Colo., gets the 2012 Guinness World Records title for “longest ears on a living dog.”

His left ear is 12.25 inches long and his right is 13.5 inches long.Owner Jennifer Wert says

when her 8-year-old was a puppy, he would trip on his ears and roll down stairs.These days, Wert says

people often stop them to ask questions, take photos or tug on his ears.Tigger, a bloodhound from

Illinois who died in 2009, still holds the record for longest ears ever. One was 13.5 inches long, the other 13.75 inches long.Coonhounds use their ears to

help with scent.Meanwhile a Connecticut

man faces several felony charges after being arrested inside a dog pound where his Italian greyhound had spent the weekend.Walther Scovish had the

dog, Missy, taken from him on Sept. 3 after Scovish was pulled over and charged with possession of heroin.Police say they found

Scovish inside the pound just before 6 a.m. on Monday after an alarm went off. Police say Scovish told them his dog had special needs.

Witnesses say the pair were “quiet as lambs” and, if they had not heard the shop assistant’s scream, they would not have even known a robbery was taking place.

The pump attendant, who asked not to be named, said: “They were very professional.

“The entire robbery took just about 3 to 4 minutes to happen. The men came in really silent like lambs.

“It was a small sum of money in the register. The men just ran away with the cash register, I don’t even know if they put it into a bag.

“The men had one of the cashiers in a corner and she just kept on screaming.”

James O’Neill, President of the Chamber of Commerce, said: “The recent robberies are much bolder and dangerous in nature and we must do everything within our power to support the police so that they can capture the criminals and bring them to justice.

“We also need to increase policing and security measures in areas that have high visitor traffic so that we disrupt the criminals from continuing their illegal ways.

Mr O’Neill also warned that the cost

of living will increase because of the rise in crime.

He added: “No one wants to live in a society of fear.

“We must come together and work with the police, other businesses and community groups to ensure that we have systems in place to share information, protect our businesses

and homes and to step up our collective efforts to inform the authorities if we spot any suspicious activities.

“Let’s not tolerate these activities in our community so that we can keep our islands safe.”

Nadia Hardie, Director of Sales at Sunshine Suites, a member of the Cayman Islands Tourism Association added: “In comparison to other islands, Cayman is still very safe but not like it used to be.

“I have lived here since I was 15 back in the mid 1980’s and now as a female resident, I no longer feel safe after dark.”

NASA launching twin moon probes to measure gravity

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Four decades after landing men on the moon, NASA is returning to Earth’s orbiting companion, this time with a set of robotic twins that will measure lunar gravity while chasing one another in circles.

By creating the most precise lunar gravity map ever, scientists hope to figure out what’s beneath the lunar surface, all the way to the core. The orbiting probes also will help pinpoint the best landing sites for future explorers, whether human or mechanical.Near-identical twins Grail-A

and Grail-B — short for Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory — are due to blast off Thursday aboard an unmanned rocket.Although launched together,

the two washing machine-size spacecraft will separate an hour into the flight and travel independently to the moon.It will be a long, roundabout

trip — three to four months — because of the small Delta II rocket used to boost the spacecraft. NASA’s Apollo astronauts used the mighty Saturn V rocket, which covered the approximately 240,000 miles to the moon in a mere three days.NASA’s Grail twins will travel

more than 2 million miles to get to the moon under this slower but more economical plan.

In an effort that will continue for another two weeks, community activists have already collected hundreds of signatures on a petition to Governor Duncan Taylor, seeking to stop the closure of West Bay Road.

A coalition of West Bay residents’ groups are gathering endorsements on the two-page document, asking Mr Taylor “to preserve the West Bay Road in its entirety in perpetuity as a public vehicular roadway for the people of the Cayman Islands.”

“We have already sent a letter to the governor, outlining our concerns and telling him that this petition is coming,” said Alice Mae Coe, leader of Concerned Citizens, an informal, but tight-knit group of district residents.

“A cover letter will go with the petition, setting out the details of our reasoning because of the road and access to George Town,” she said.

Sentiment has quietly coalesced in the district, opposing plans by the ForCayman Investment Alliance to close a 2,500-foot section of the road – between Trafalgar Place and Yacht Club Drive – and re-route it onto the Esterley Tibbetts Highway, as a precursor to redevelopment of the now-abandoned Marriott Courtyard Hotel.

The alliance, an as-yet-unincorporated partnership

between Dart Realty and elected United Democratic Party officials, plans a wide-ranging series of infrastructure, community and housing developments, including refurbishment of the Marriott and creation of at least one, and possibly two, more hotels. The scheme calls for investment of roughly $1.2 billion during the next 30 years, $200 million of which is scheduled for the next 12 months.

“People are out there getting pages and pages of signatures,” Ms Coe told iNews, “It is ongoing. We are coming on strong and we will aggressively continue the drive. We have put people in charge of different areas. We will get into every nook and cranny of Grand Cayman. I already have had two calls from George Town asking to sign the petition, and we haven’t even gone down there yet,” she said.

No date has been set to close the road, but an uneasy coalition has started to crystallise among Ms Coe’s Concerned Citizens Group, community leader and one-time independent candidate Ormond Morgan’s West Bay Action Committee and Captain Brian Ebanks Save Cayman.

Each have separate priorities, but preservation of the West Bay Road along Public Beach is emerging as a common cause.

“This is 2,500 feet of road and Dart is going to build on his

own land anyway,” Ms Coe said, alluding to Dart’s ownership of all the land between the Marriott and the Cayman Islands Yacht Club. “I don’t blame [owner Ken] Dart, he’s a businessman, but this will add thousands of feet of land and it will all become seafront property.”

Opponents – and the Concerned Citizen’s petition -- also cite damage to more than “100 diversified small businesses”, elimination of the last ocean view from the road, restricted access to both Public Beach and the waterfront immediately to the north, potential traffic snarls on the Esterley Tibbetts Highway after accidents or natural disasters, and further commercial development in the area.

Rejecting the concerns, both Mr Bush and Dart have promised full public access to the water, including development of a second, larger public beach, and vastly expanded recreational facilities.

At a 30 August public meeting, Mr Bush went so far as to reject Ms Coe’s efforts: “That little section of the road floods anyhow,” he said. “You are not going to stop it because it is the right thing for West Bay.”

“That is vintage Mac,” Ms Coe said. “These people are our elected representatives and they should not disrespect the people who put them where they are and not ignore what we are saying. We, the electorate, are their bosses.”

Invest 95L in the eastern Atlantic heads to the west-northwest

We are still keeping an eye on Invest 95L, in the eastern Atlantic about 600 miles to the southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Rob Lightbown wrote “Environmental conditions are favourable enough for slow development during the rest of this week and this may become a tropical depression or a tropical storm in the next couple of days or so.

“Invest 95L is forecasted to make a general west to west-northwest track over the next 2 to 3 days. After that, the potential track of this system may bring it near the northern Leeward Islands this weekend and everyone in the Leeward Islands and Virgin Islands should closely monitor this system as indications are that it may affect you as a strong tropical storm or a Category 1 hurricane.”

After potentially affecting the Leeward Islands and the Virgin Islands this weekend, this potential tropical cyclone could be pulled north

and then northeastward away from the US East Coast next week due to a deep trough of low pressure over the eastern United States. This forecast is what many of us in the Caribbean are hoping for.

However, another potential track idea that will need to be watched is that this disturbance stays south and tracks into the Caribbean this weekend. This is a scenario that is being presented by the European model.

Meanwhile, Katia, which is now a major Category 3 hurricane, is

tracking to the northwest at a forward speed of 10 mph. The hurricane will track towards a weakness in the ridge of high pressure over the western Atlantic and is expected to turn north and then northeastward right around 70 or 71 West Longitude by late Wednesday or early Thursday. This track will keep Katia east of the US East Coast and the Canadian Maritimes.

Even though Katia will stay well away from the United States and the Canadian Maritimes, it will produce some large swells along the entire US East Coast, Bermuda and the eastern facing beaches of the Bahamas this week. These large swells will cause large surf and dangerous rip currents. People are advised to listen to their local weather advisories before going into the water.

Australian standoff ends with one in custody, girl safeSYDNEY (AP) — A man who marched into a Sydney law office with his daughter and said he had a bomb in his backpack was taken into custody Tuesday after a tense, 12-hour standoff with police.

The man’s 12-year-old daughter was released and reunited with her family, New South Wales police said. She was distressed, but otherwise unharmed, police said.

Police Assistant Commissioner Denis Clifford said bomb technicians were examining the backpack to see whether any explosive devices were in it.

A police tactical team forced its way into the office after negotiations

with the man began to crumble, Clifford said.

“Towards the latter part of the time we’ve been here, those negotiations have started to break down and then deteriorate to a stage where police have taken action to break into the premises and take a 52-year-old man into custody,” Clifford said. “He’s currently assisting police with their ongoing inquires.”

Police have not released the man’s name or described the series of demands he issued. He is expected to appear in court on Wednesday.

The drama began yesterday morning, when the man walked into the reception area of the lawyers’

offices. Employee Betty Hor said he approached her and asked to see someone whom Hor had never heard of.

Nobel winner urges Japan to abandon nuclear powerTOKYO (AP) — Nobel laureate Kenzaburo Oe urged Japan’s new prime minister on Tuesday to halt plans to restart nuclear power plants and instead abandon nuclear energy.

Oe cautioned Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda against prioritising the economy over safety. Noda has said he will allow idled nuclear plants to resume operation when their safety is confirmed.

“The new prime minister seems to think that nuclear power plants are necessary for Japan’s economy, and how to resume their operation is one of his key political agendas,” Oe said. “We must make a big decision to abolish all nuclear plants.”

Oe, who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1994, said the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant six months ago caused the Japanese public to want to reduce their dependence on nuclear power, but that feeling seems to be fading.

He spoke at news conference yesterday about an anti-nuclear petition drive, accompanied by other members of the campaign.

The group, which is demanding that the government decommission aging reactors and promote renewable energy, aims to collect 10 million signatures and submit them to the government next March.

Oe has actively supported pacifist

and anti-nuclear campaigns and written books about the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.

Wildfire destroys nearly 500 homes in TexasBASTROP, Texas (AP) — Calmer winds Tuesday should help firefighters battling a wildfire that has destroyed nearly 500 homes in Central Texas and forced thousands of residents to evacuate to shelters to avoid the blaze, officials said.

Texas Forest Service spokeswoman Victoria Koenig said it is too early to say how much progress was made fighting the wildfire in Bastrop County overnight, but that there were no winds early Tuesday. The fire enveloped at least 25,000 acres Monday.

“It’s encouraging we don’t have

winds right now, not like yesterday,” Koenig said early yesterday morning.

Even with the encouraging conditions, Koenig said it was a “tough, tough fire” that was raging through rugged terrain, including a ridge of hills.

“You can still see the hills glowing quite a bit,” she said.

At least 5,000 people were forced from their homes in Bastrop County about 25 miles east of Austin, and about 400 were in emergency shelters, officials said Monday. School and school-related activities were

canceled Tuesday.Gov. Rick Perry told NBC’s “Today”

show that more than 50 fires were burning across the state.

“We’re a long way from having these under control,” Perry said.



My recent trip to Miami exposed the differences in police presence compared

to here in the Cayman Islands. Whether the method the Dade County Police Dept. adopts produces better statistics than the RCIPS I do not know, as I am not privy to them. I do know their method makes me, as a tourist there, feel safe and my advice to our police force is to at least consider it.

Visiting a restaurant along the area known as “The Miracle Mile” in Coral Gables the first thing I noticed was a police car. It was strategically placed that no one could miss it. A police officer was standing by it watching everyone. Another officer was walking (are you noting I said WALKING) a beat - along one side of the road and then the other. When he returned to the police car he swapped roles with the other officer. Both officers had a friendly smile and a nod if you caught their eye.

The following day I was at a shopping plaza that surrounded a park (the Village of Merick Park). The shops were on three levels and a road went through the centre of the park. Once again there was a police car with two officers carrying out exactly the same procedures as along the Miracle Mile. This time the officer patrolling walked around all three levels.

I do not know whether the stores paid for the police presence but when, a few days later I was down in The Keys, the same thing occurred at all the tourist areas.

In the thirty years I have lived on Grand Cayman I have never seen this, although in my earlier years there were foot patrols in George Town during the day. In those earlier years we never had the crime we have today. A few years ago we had the neighbourly policeman but he/she has vanished.

Now we have the gun crimes (I can’t say we have more crime because statistics will show we have less) and tourists and tourist restaurants are being targeted. We are getting a reputation we don’t want. “Cayman is unsafe.” How have we allowed ourselves to get this? Who is to blame? What can we do?

The first thing is trust. Without that we are doomed. It has to come from the police first. They have to show we can trust them. With that comes respect. They have to show they are doing something. Racing around in new cars and hovering overhead in a noisy helicopter is not cutting any ice with me. We need to see them physically on the streets and our tourists need to be aware they’re there and they will protect them... And us. Maybe take some advice from Miami. It’s where most of us play tourist.

The Cayman Islands Cancer Society is organising Conquering Cancer II – Let’s Fight Cancer Together – a series of cancer awareness activities for both health professionals and the general public on 9th and 10th of September.

Every two years the Society organises such an event and Dr. Sook Yin, Medical Director of the Society, says “Cancer is not selective and as health care providers, we are continuously waging the war on cancer. This weekend is the weekend of cancer awareness and CICS is committed to circulate as much information as possible throughout the community”. The events will include speakers from the Cayman Islands and around the world and attendees will have an opportunity to interact and ask questions of the speakers on a one-to-one basis.

The first event on Friday 9th September will be at St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine beginning with refreshments and registration at 5:30pm; then followed by five presentations beginning at 6:15pm. The evening will be for doctors and allied professions, as well as medical students. Attendees will receive 3 hours continuing education credit. Speakers at this event will be Dr. Troy Gatcliffe from Baptist Health International, Dr. Carlos Suarez and Dr. Abner Landry from ORNOA, Dr. Linda Lee from Johns Hopkins and Dr. Lynn Feun from University of Miami.

The second event is a free event open to the public and will be on Saturday, 10th September from 8:30am – 2:00pm at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort on West Bay Road. The Society and its partners for the event Baptist Health International, ORNOA, John’s Hopkins, University of Miami are inviting everyone to join them at this day of awareness and education.

There will be twelve educational awareness sessions throughout the day, opportunities to learn about your individual cancer risk and what you can do to lower it and a number of booths promoting cancer prevention, healthy lifestyles and other health-related services available in the Cayman Islands. Dr. Yin added that

“the information passed on to health care providers and the public through these educational sessions will serve to keep the people up to date”. She also urges them to “take the initiative to act on everything learned from these awareness sessions”. The Cayman Heart Fund will be on hand to do general health screenings for BMI, cholesterol and glucose. Participants should come fasting for at least 10 hours before the tests. Additionally, there will be vouchers for free Pap smears, mammograms and PSA blood tests for individuals who do not have health insurance coverage for these potentially lifesaving tests. Refreshments will also be served throughout the day.

The Cayman Islands Cancer Society would like to thank all of the doctors and exhibitors participating in the event; St. Matthews University School of Medicine, the Cayman Islands Medical and Dental Society and the

Marriott Hotel for hosting the event. Additionally, the Society would like to acknowledge the support of Baptist Health International, ORNOA, Johns Hopkins and University of Miami – Miller School of Medicine and Jacques Scott in helping make the event possible.

The Cayman Islands Cancer Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing the development of cancer through an array of education programs and screening initiatives. It also provides financial assistance to cancer patients for treatment-related expenses. The Society offers counselling and support to cancer patients and their families. It is the leader in issues pertaining to cancer control in the Cayman Islands. The Society’s programmes and assistance are funded through events and donations from the public and from the corporate sector.

Story Time Tour with children’s authors and illustrators

OTIS AND THE TORNADO

Otis and his farm friends are enjoying a summer’s day playing their favourite game, follow-the-leader. The bull, however, has no interest in playing and stays in his pen, where he delights in intimidating the other animals.

Suddenly the day turns frightening: the birds stop chirping, the wind picks up, and the sky turns dark and stormy. It’s a tornado! Otis rouses a game of follow-the-leader to get all of the farm animals safe and sound in the dried-up riverbanks of Mud Creek. But Otis hears a cry in the distance - it’s the bull, still locked in his pen! Quick as his tires will take him, Otis putt puff puttedy chuffs back to the farm to save the day.

This brand-new adventure is a perfect accompaniment to any Otis lover’s bookshelf and story time.

LLAMA LLAMA HOME WITH MAMA

Llama Llama, morning light.Feeling yucky, just not right.Down to breakfast.Tiny sneeze.Sniffle, snuffle.Tissues, please!Ah-choo! Uh-oh, Llama Llama’s nose is feeling tickly, his throat

is feeling scratchy, and his head is feeling stuffy. Back to bed, no school today for Llama Llama! Instead, he’s home with Mama. By lunchtime, though, he’s beginning to feel a tiny bit better. But now someone else has the sneezes . . . Mama! And who will help her feel better? Why, Llama Llama, of course! Anna Dewdney’s fun-to-read rhymes are sure to help children and their parents get through those under-the-weather days.

Fishing for Purpose is a new programme for boys from John Gray High School, aimed at finding purpose on life’s journey from older male role models - while having fun fishing.

The idea came to Christopher Murray, School Counsellor at John Gray High School, during the summer holidays.

“Fishing for Purpose is aimed at having meaningful relationships developed between positive male role models and teenage boys.

In addition to that, it addresses the dilemma, that in our society most of our boys are not finding their true identity – this is because of poor role models.

“So we are creating an opportunity for them to have a fun, yet meaningful time, as we believe our boys need ‘tour guides’ to help them on the journey of life.

“We will be going fishing two Saturdays per month to socialise and have fun and we hope that we’ll not just catch fish but see that young men will find purpose too.

“We will be taking two boats out on the reef that can hold about 15 persons between them. At the moment, we have five men who are helping with the programme but we are looking for more to join in. We

are especially looking for people with boats they would be willing to let us use.”

15-year old Sidney Jamal Miller was really looking forward to the fishing trips, which begin in just over a week. “I think it’s a good idea. It’s

a good opportunity for us to get out and learn to avoid going down the wrong road in life from someone who’s older. As well as learning a little bit of fishing skills too.”

Those interested in helping can call Mr. Murray at 916 5559

Eight George Town beauties, pictured right, will be competing for the Miss George Town Festival Queen crown on 17 September.

The competition, to be held at George Town Central Park, Scranton, is open to ladies of 12 years old and above. The winner will represent George Town in the Miss Festival Queen Competition finals, scheduled for Thursday 10 November on the waterfront, George Town, the day before the official kick-off of Pirates Week.

This year, each district’s Heritage Day Committee will be responsible for selecting their own Festival Queen, who will enter the national

competition and will also gain a place in that district’s float parade.

The George Town competition will be divided into four parts, says organiser Dwight McLean. “There will be an opening dance with stingray costumes, followed by a ‘Tribute to George Town Heroes’. Then there will be another costume section, this time with a Cayman Orchid theme, followed by a fashion show,” Mr. McLean said.

Pat Bazell-Taylor from the Pirates Week Office said: “This year ‘Marine Life’ will be the theme for the Miss Festival Queen Costume Competition.”

Contestant for the George Town competition, 18-year old Nassaria Thompson said that she decided to enter after her aunt told her about it.

“I entered the Mr. and Mrs. Valentine pageant at John Gray High School, but apart from that, this will be my first pageant.

Ms. Thompson selected her great grandparents, Hubert and Maryann Ramoon, as the George Town heroes she will be speaking about, during the second section of the pageant when contestants are required to come on stage in traditional Cayman dress.

Kayla McField, one of the other contestants, said: “I am very shy so …I hope to overcome my shyness, meet more people and be able to speak out loud.

“I am looking forward to it, I know all of the other competitors except for one and I think we all have a fair chance at winning.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell sharply in morning trading Tuesday as worries deepened about Europe’s debt crisis and the weak U.S. economy. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell and gold rose as investors sought safety.

An hour after the opening bell, the Dow was down 274 points, or 2.4 percent, to 10,961. All 30 stocks that make up the Dow average fell.

The S&P 500 lost 30, or 2.6 percent, to 1,143. The Nasdaq composite fell 56, or 2.3 percent, to 2,424.

Bank stocks fell more than the overall market. Federal regulators filed lawsuits late Friday against 17 major banks, saying they sold Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities that lost value when the housing market collapsed. Bank of America Corp. lost

nearly 6 percent. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and Goldman Sachs each fell 3 percent or more.

The losses came after steep declines in European indexes. The Stoxx 600 Europe index fell 4.1 percent on Monday because of concerns that Europe’s debt problems could slow growth around the world. The index fell another 1.4 percent Tuesday. U.S. markets were closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday.

The U.S. economy is also weak. A report Friday found that no jobs were added to the economy in August. It was the worst reading on the jobs market since September 2010.

The price of assets that appeared to be safer bets during a weak economy rose sharply. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.93 percent. On

Monday the yield fell as low as 1.91 percent, the lowest yield on record since the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis began keeping daily records in 1962. Bond yields fall when demand for them increases.

Gold jumped $24, or 1 percent, to $1,901 an ounce. In a sign that investors expect the economy to slow, the price of oil fell sharply. Oil futures dropped $1.87, or 2 percent, to $84.61 a barrel.

A relatively strong report on U.S. service companies did little to stem the losses. The Institute for Supply Management said the service sector grew more than analysts had expected in August. The growth rate of that part of the economy, which employs nearly 90 percent of America’s work force, fell the three previous months.

But as he grows old he notices that Jane is always quiet when the peach-trees are in bloom, and that gray-haired sister Catherine always bends down her head and weeps silently whenever the choir sings “Rockingham”; and then he remembers who it was that died when the peach-trees showed their blossoms, and who it was who went about humming “Rockingham,” and understands. Yet always with a slow surprise, and a wonder at women’s ways, since both the men were, to his idea, failures in the world and their generation.

Any other woman of Miss Lois’s age and strict prudence, having general charge of the Douglas household, would have required from Anne long ago that she should ask her father plainly what were his resources and his income. To a cent were all the affairs of the church-house regulated and balanced; Miss Lois would have been unhappy at the end of the week if a penny remained unaccounted for. Yet she said nothing to the daughter, nothing to the father, although noticing all the time that the small provision was no larger, while the boys grew like reeds, and the time was at hand when more must be done for them. William Douglas’s way was to give Anne at the beginning of each week a certain sum. This he had done as far back as his daughter could remember, and she had spent it under the direction of Miss Lois. Now, being older, she laid it out without much advice from her mentor, but began to feel troubled because it did not go as far. “It goes as far,” said Miss Lois, “but the boys have gone farther.”

“Poor little fellows! They must eat.” “And they must work.”“But what can they do at their age,

Miss Lois?”“Form habits,” replied the New

England woman, sternly. “In my opinion the crying evil of the country to-day is that the boys are not trained; educated, I grant you, but not

trained—trained as they were when times were simpler, and the rod in use. Parents are too ambitious; the mechanic wishes to make his sons merchants, the merchant wishes to make his gentlemen; but, while educating them and pushing them forward, the parents forget the homely habits of patient labor, strict veracity in thought and action, and stern self-denials which have given them their measure of success, and so between the two stools the poor boys fall to the ground. It is my opinion,” added Miss Lois, decisively, “that, whether you want to build the Capitol at Washington or a red barn, you must first have a firm foundation.”

“Yes, I know,” replied Anne. “And I do try to control them.”

“Oh, General Putnam! You try!” said Miss Lois. “Why, you spoil them like babies.” Anne always gave up the point when Miss Lois reverted to Putnam. This Revolutionary hero, now principally known, like Romulus, by a wolf story, was the old maid’s glory and remote ancestor, and helped her over occasional necessities

for strong expressions with ancestral kindness. She felt like reverting to him more than once that summer, because, Rast having gone, there was less of a whirlwind of out-door life, of pleasure in the woods and on the water, and the plain bare state of things stood clearly revealed. Anne fell behind every month with the household expenses in spite of all her efforts, and every month Miss Lois herself made up the deficiency. The boys were larger, and careless. The old house yawned itself apart. Of necessity the gap between the income and the expenditure must grow wider and wider. Anne did not realize this, but Miss Lois did. The young girl thought each month that she must have been unusually extravagant; she counted in some item as an extra expense, which would not occur again,

gave up something for her, and began anew with fresh hope. On almost all subjects Miss Lois had the smallest amount of patience for what she called blindness, but on this she was silent. Now and then her eyes would follow Anne’s father with a troubled gaze; but if he looked toward her or spoke, she at once assumed her usual brisk manner, and was even more cheerful than usual. Thus, the mentor being silent, the family drifted on. The short Northern summer, with its intense sunshine and its cool nights, was now upon them. Fire crackled upon the hearth of the Agency sitting -room in the early morning, but it died out about ten o’clock, and from that time until five in the afternoon the heat and the brightness were peculiarly brilliant and intense. It seemed as though the white cliffs must take fire and smoulder in places where they were without trees to cover them; to climb up and sit there was to feel the earth burning under you, and to be penetrated with a sun-bath of rays beating straight down through the clear air like white shafts.

I had to leave the Cayman Islands to do some research on a story I wanted to write and was staying near Edinburg, Scotland. Before I departed I found that there were embroidery classes to be had in the area where I had my lodgings. So, I took my embroidery machine with me.

I went to the lessons and sat for hours learning the basics of the machine (from turning it on to utilising the most popular of its features). I had already read the manual (a recommendation of mine to anyone who owns a machine.) Don’t be intimidated by the size of the manual; it makes for interesting reading and got me really excited about using the machine. Just draw a warm bubble bath (you really need a warm one in Scotland), and start reading! I, therefore, already knew a lot of the first class’ instruction.

You may think it was a waste of my time to take these lessons, but not so. I was able to use my time to ask more in-depth questions and expand on my knowledge while others were learning how to thread the needle. However, if you are one of the ones that need to learn the most basic ‘basics’ then you may want to inquire about taking the classes for a second, or third time. This will help you out with expanding your knowledge once you do know how to operate the machine.

NEVER think that a question is dumb or has been asked ad nauseum and no one wants to hear you ask it. The chances are, if you are wondering, then at least one other person is, too, and will benefit from your asking.

The teacher had a basic lesson on stabilisers as well, and I purchased a sampling of several that they offered at a store I found in Edinburgh (for a small fortune!). I made a ‘stabiliser’ booklet, cut a swatch of each one, listed the name brand, type and what it could be used for.

This is really helpful as you learn more and more about them, and can add to your booklet and lists, plus when I put away the pieces of stabiliser

and was trying to figure out (by feel) which ones they were, I could refer back to the booklet for help.

I come by being cheap honestly, and so I have tried many tricks to save money by scrimping and saving and reusing everything! You can save your thread snips to create fabric out of it. I have used empty thread cones to dry 3D free standing lace ornaments on and, most of all, I save stabiliser pieces.

If I can piece a sheet of stabiliser for some projects I will! Sometimes this works, and other times it will fail on you every time. The trick is knowing why you are using the stabiliser. The actual purpose of the stabiliser in each project is the key to knowing how much or how little you can actually get away with!

For example, if you are doing a design on a t-shirt, then you would

need an intact piece of soft cut-away stabiliser to actually be the strong, unmoving foundation for the stretchy knit fabric. However, if you are embroidering a name on a ribbon, or are embroidering on top of dense or fuzzy fabric, then smaller piece of water-soluble stabiliser (floated on top) will keep the stitches from sinking into the project .

You can also stitch wss (water soluble stabiliser) together with water soluble thread in top and in the bobbin to create a larger piece you can reuse for smaller free standing lace or other in the hoop projects which call for wss.

Whilst I used the Singer Futura CE-250 Embroidery machine there are many other manufacturers especially Brother. If you go to www.embroiderymachinesreview.org you will some excellent reviews of these machines.

Education is the Key



WASHINGTON (AP) — In a dramatic reversal, President Barack Obama on Friday scrubbed a clean-air regulation that aimed to reduce health-threatening smog, yielding to bitterly protesting businesses and congressional Republicans who complained the rule would kill jobs in America’s ailing economy.

Withdrawal of the proposed regulation marked the latest in a string of retreats by the president in the face of GOP opposition, and it drew quick criticism from liberals. Environmentalists, a key Obama constituency, accused him of caving to corporate polluters, and the American Lung Association threatened to restart the legal action it had begun against rules proposed by President George W. Bush.

The White House has been under heavy pressure from GOP lawmakers and major industries, which have slammed the stricter standard as an unnecessary jobs killer. The Environmental Protection Agency, whose scientific advisers favored the tighter limits, had predicted the proposed change would cost up to $90 billion a year, making it one of the most expensive environmental regulations ever imposed in the U.S.

However, the Clean Air Act bars the EPA from considering the costs of complying when setting public health standards.

Obama said his decision was made in part to reduce regulatory burdens and uncertainty at a time of rampant questions about the strength of the U.S. economy.

Underscoring the economic concerns: a new report Friday that showed the economy essentially adding no jobs in August and the unemployment rate stubbornly stuck at 9.1 percent.

The regulation would have reduced concentrations of ground-level ozone, the main ingredient in smog, a powerful lung irritant that can cause asthma and other lung ailments. Smog is created when emissions from cars, power and chemical plants, refineries and other factories mix in sunlight and heat.

Republican lawmakers, already emboldened by Obama’s concessions on extending Bush-era tax cuts and his agreement to more than $1 trillion in spending reductions as the price for raising the nation’s debt ceiling, had pledged to try to block the stricter smog standards as well as other EPA regulations when they returned to Washington after Labor Day.

A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had muted praise for the White House Friday, saying that withdrawal of the smog regulation was a good first step toward removing obstacles that are blocking business growth.

“But it is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to stopping

Washington Democrats’ agenda of tax hikes, more government ‘stimulus’ spending and increased regulations, which are all making it harder to create more American jobs,” said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel.

Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the move was “an enormous victory for America’s job creators, the right decision by the president and one that will help reduce the uncertainty facing businesses.”

White House officials said the president’s decision was not the product of industry pressure, and they said the administration would continue to fight other efforts by Republicans to dismantle the EPA’s authority.

Designer sunglasses needn’t be expensive

Buying cheap sunglasses doesn’t necessarily mean you are just getting poor quality sunglasses. You can easily get cheap sunglasses on line from all the popular designers and, in these hard times, it makes sense.

However, you do need to look at the photos of the cheap designer sunglasses and you also need to read the accompanying descriptions. The frame is an important part of the sunglasses. Plastic frames will not last as long as metal frames. If the frame of cheap sunglasses is plastic, read on to see if it contains a metal rod. If so, then these would be good quality cheap designer sunglasses. I have seen sunglasses by Armani, Oakley, Maui and Jim online at very reasonable prices. This is because most of the online sites selling designer sunglasses don’t have a regular store and probably operate out of their homes. This savings of rent and salaries comes back to you in the form of cheaper prices.You also need to look at

the colour of the lenses. Choose one you like and one you will be able to see through clearly. Some of the designer sunglasses have polarised lenses and this is a great feature because it cuts down on the glare of the sun. Even when buying cheap sunglasses, you can still choose the colour of the lens. Each of the cheap designer

sunglasses carries the signature brand on the lens to let you know that you do have authentic designer sunglasses.

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.

Legendary soccer player scouting in Cayman

Jamaican “Reggae Boy” Fitzroy Simpson, says although Caymanians love football, it’s not yet a way of life.

And he says to improve the standard of players here, we must first improve the standards of pitches and training facilities.

Mr. Simpson, who was born in Bradford, England, has an illustrious and decorated football career, which spans over two decades.

The 41 year old, ex-professional football player shared with iNews his thoughts on Cayman’s football standards as well as observations he has made since his arrival.

“I am here to observe talent. The reception to my stay here has been quite flattering,” he said.

“The Under-13’s here are very talented, they will be in our training session tomorrow.

“Everybody loves the game of football in the Cayman Islands, but loving it and making it your life is a

massive difference.“If you want to develop your football

the structure has to be right.“We need to address the training

facility and the pitches.“I think that the major distinction

of football in the United Kingdom, is that it is a way of life, everything about it is survival.

“I now have my own football-training academy, Soccer Matrix, where I teach both basic and advanced techniques in soccer.

“The tutoring is somewhat academic, as each player is recorded and monitored through video analysis.”

Asked about the feeling of being revered as an integral part of the Jamaican “Reggae Boys” historic qualification for the World Cup football tournament in 1998, Mr. Simpson said: “In life you think back and you say well, Ryan Giggs has never graced a World Cup field and he’s a great player who worked on his game daily.

“Remember, the Jamaica Reggae Boys did not just play in the World Cup,

we were ranked number 16 in the world in 1997-1998.”

English based players, Fitzroy Simpson, Paul Hall, Deon Burton and Robbie Earl created a powerful injection of talent and experience which helped to earn Jamaica a spot in the 1998 Word Cup football tournament in France.

The former midfielder has represented teams such as Swindon Town, Portsmouth and Manchester City Football Clubs in England.

Between 1992–93, Swindon Town Football Club sold Fitzroy Simpson to Premier League giants, Manchester City.

Mr. Simpson’s accolades include his participation in the highly competitive Spanish Football league. He has also helped to coach popular soccer team, Charlton Athletics.

In an interview with iNews, Manager of the Cayman Islands senior Men’s Team, Mr. Mark Campbell, applauded the football legend for his visit.

Mr. Campbell also added that the presence of the Reggae Boy could very well be a morale booster for the Cayman Islands team.

Colts say Manning doubtful for Sunday’s opener

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The unthinkable suddenly seems possible in Indianapolis — opening the season without Peyton Manning.The four-time league-MVP

who has never missed a start in his NFL career is doubtful for Sunday’s game at Houston because of lingering soreness in his back following offseason

neck surgery. If Manning sits, it would be the first time the NFL’s active iron man missed a meaningful game after 227 consecutive starts including the playoffs.“I hate it for Peyton,” said Pro

Bowl center Jeff Saturday, one of Manning’s closest friends. “You want him to be healthy, you want him to be back, but you want him to take care of it, too. It’s sad when players face tough times, but I know he’s strong enough to get through it.”The question is whether the

Colts can survive without their franchise quarterback, whose streak stands second in NFL history to Brett Favre’s among all QBs.Team officials have not said

how much longer it could take Manning to recover, leaving that decision to Manning and his doctors.Over the years, life without

Manning has been pretty dismal.The only time he missed a

regular-season snap because of injury, against Miami in 2001, backup Mark Rypien fumbled. The Dolphins recovered, then drove 59 yards for the winning score. Manning returned on the next series with a bloody mouth. He was later diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his jaw.

Stewart gets 1-hit shutout; White Sox sweep Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Zach Stewart’s sinker and slider were tumbling over the plate. He stood tall and stayed steady on the mound.

The Minnesota Twins couldn’t hit his pitches. The Chicago White Sox couldn’t stop praising the rookie’s composure.Stewart took a perfect game

into the eighth inning and finished with a one-hitter as the White Sox completed a doubleheader sweep of the Twins with a 4-0 victory on Monday night.“It was a lot of fun. It was just

one of those things,” Stewart said. “In the ‘pen, the ball was coming out good. I could tell it was going to be somewhat of a good night. I didn’t know it was going to be that good. But it just felt good from the beginning.”The Twins were 21 up and

21 down against Stewart until Danny Valencia’s leadoff double in the eighth spoiled the right-hander’s bid to become the 21st rookie in major league history to throw a no-hitter.“He didn’t really have stuff that

was overpowering. He was just locating really well,” Valencia said. “He had all his pitches going, and he was throwing everything for a strike.”The 24-year-old Stewart (2-

3), whose only previous major league win came at Target Field last month, struck out nine in the first complete game of his career.

City probe offensive email

Manchester City are to investigate claims chief executive Garry Cook emailed defender Nedum Onuoha’s cancer-suffering mother mocking her illness.Dr Anthonia Onuoha received

an offensive email which was intended for the club’s football administrator Brian Marwood, in regard to a contract dispute her son was having with City.Cook has denied he sent the

message, claiming his account was hacked.

Dr Onuoha told the Sun the email had left her “humiliated and devastated”.Defender Onuoha’s mother, who

acts as his agent, had previously sent a message to Marwood and Cook, explaining that while she was “ravaged with cancer” it would not prevent her negotiating on behalf of her son.Dr Onuoha then received an

email, allegedly from Cook and addressed “Brian”, which apparently ridiculed her use of language in describing her illness.The email is reported to have

read: “Ravaged with it!!...I don’t know how you sleep at night. You used to be such a nice man when I worked with you at Nike. G”.Manchester City have

responded to the allegations by releasing a statement promising a full investigation.“Following allegations made to

the football club by Dr Anthonia Onuoha, subsequently reported in today’s [Monday] media, the club can confirm that a board-led review has been launched into the matter,” said the statement.Dr Onuoha told the Sun: “When

I opened my emails and saw the message, it was the worst day of my life, even worse than being diagnosed with cancer.”

Cayman Islands National Football team were facing a tough World Cup qualifying match last night with Technical Director Carl Brown admitting things were going to get much tougher.

The home nation went down 1-0 away at Suriname making last night’s clash with El Salvador a must-win match.

Coach Carl Brown said: “I believe the Suriname game brought home the reality of what they are involved in – it’s a very tough tournament and its only going to get tougher.

“I believe that after Suriname, the players themselves will be much better prepared to face the El Salvador team – It was a great experience for them. We have been telling them how tough playing at this level will be.”

Captain of the Cayman Islands National Team, Ian Lindo, said he was planning on telling the team to enjoy themselves during the match.

He added: “We’ve done the hard work…the hard work is over with

now, so just enjoy it. Its not every day you get to play in a World Cup qualifying game.”

But he admitted knowing little about the next opponents on their long road to Brazil saying: “Honestly, not much…I think I saw a few games with them in the Gold Cup. Technically they are a good team. They like to move the ball a lot so we have to be ready for that.”

Mr Brown added: “Technically they are a very sound team. Recently we saw them playing games against the Jamaican team. They are out of Central

America and we know what that brings in terms of technical ability.

“We believe this El Salvador team has been improving. We’ve seen them over the last couple of years playing very well. We expect them to be a very tough opponent.

“There are always going to be questions about the selection of teams. The Cayman Islands are very small in terms of numbers and we have to look at the Premier League we’ve got here for selecting our players, and that’s what we’ve been doing over the years.”
