Pronouncing the local cruise industry “dead”, Robert Hamaty director and founder of a private-sector tourism association, said yesterday Cayman’s competition had already triumphed, leaving George Town fatally crippled.

“It’s a fact,” he told iNews. “It has reached the point of no return. Our situation here is like the 1950s when we used canoes to tender ships in North Sound.

“We are so backward that everyone has jumped on the cruise bandwagon,” Mr Hamaty said, citing four ports in Mexico; two in Roatan, Honduras; Jamaican giant Falmouth; the Dominican Republic and “even Haiti has just announced one,” he said, where Royal Caribbean would invest $50 million, including a hotel, enabling visitors to spend between three days and four days, and “catch the next ship back”.

In the past few years there has been no relief for the people of Haiti.

On January 12th, 2010, an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, struck resulting in approximately 230,000 people losing their lives, 40,000 of which were children.

One and a half million people were left homeless and 75% of the buildings in Port au Prince were reduced to rubble.

Then this time last year, there was an outbreak of cholera, which killed 4,672 people by March 2011.

And it was this outbreak that prevented Team Cayman, a group of fundraisers and humanitarians, from travelling to the stricken country.

Team Cayman for Haiti was originally founded last year by colleagues at the Butterfield Bank. One year on and some of the co-workers have moved to pastures new but their

goal is still the same. “We were obviously devastated

by not being able to go last year but building homes for the less fortunate is something that has been on my bucket list for a very long time and I am very excited to be heading off this Saturday!” said Team Cayman member, Kat Walsh.

“We will be building houses as well as water and sanitation resources in Léogâne, a seaside town located 29km west of the capital Port au Prince.

“The town was at the epicentre of the earthquake, and over 85% of the buildings and nearly every concrete structure were destroyed. The damage was reported to be worse than the capital city, which is mostly what we saw on the news at the time.” she continued.

The team is going to Haiti with Haven, an Irish non-political, non-religious organisation working to build sustainable communities.

The organisation was founded in late

2008 by Leslie Buckley, Vice Chairman of Digicel, and his wife Carmel.

The Haven Organisation have just received confirmation from the local school in Léogâne that the team can bring gifts for the school as well as the local orphanage which has around 120 children that live there all year round.

The iNews team has been gathering their own donations, of stationary and clothes, for the children of Léogâne to send with Team Cayman.

“Local businesses have been extremely generous. Cayman Airways have provided free flights to Miami and back, Uncle Bill’s gave us steel toecap boots and camping equipment, Cayman Travel Services and Karen Lee in particular were invaluable in the organisation of the trip and George Town Hospital gave us all our vaccines for free,” said Taura Ebanks

“Our trip has been paid for by last year’s fundraising and the kindness of the local community. We still have some money left over and so when we get back we will be brainstorming new ideas to help the people of Haiti,” said Kat Walsh.

Officers stressed that during the standoff there were no children in the area as the school was closed for half-term break.

Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said: “When we arrived it was clearly a dispute between an employee and employer over payment.

“We were only there to ensure the welfare and safety of the man who eventually came off the roof after about an hour.

“Officers did not discover any form of accelerant on him and it did not warrant an arrest.

“There was no damage to either himself or the property and there was no suggestion that this man climbed on the roof to either harm himself or others.”

Meanwhile the RCIPS have now confirmed that officers are looking for two men in connection with the robbery at the China Village, Venezia Plaza, North Sound Road, George Town.

The first suspect is described as being 6’1”in height, armed with what appeared to be a handgun.

He was wearing black clothing, a mask and yellow gloves. He spoke with a Caymanian accent.

The other is described as being shorter that the first suspect. He was wearing black clothing, a black coat of silk appearance and a handkerchief mask.

Police have also confirmed that two men were arrested shortly after the robbery. They were arrested on suspicion of robbery. They have since been released on police bail while enquiries are ongoing.

No shots were fired and no-one has been injured.

“Cayman used to be number four as a destination. I don’t know where we are now,” Mr Hamaty said,

The remarks by the ebullient head of the Association for the Advancement of Cruise Tourism and president of Tortuga Rum company came in the wake of yesterday’s two-page statement by Cayman Islands Premier and Minister of Tourism McKeeva Bush.

Hard on the heels of his 3-7 October attendance at the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association’s annual conference in Puerto Rico, and following his Saturday departure for a Shanghai financial-services summit, Mr Bush warned that, without cruise berthing, “Cayman’s cruise-tourist industry is in jeopardy”.

Cruise-line executives at the conference, he said, “were giving us a final chance”, hoping “we will have at least one pier operational by 2013”

“If Cayman cannot do so,” he said, noting that 6,500-passenger Oasis-class ships “support other emerging destinations rather than Cayman,” George Town would “continue to be bypassed and excluded from that potential cruise business.”

Mr Hamaty said already two Oasis ships were operating in the region, with a third on the way. Accommodated in Nassau, he said, the ships dramatically outperformed anything in Cayman.

“It’s like night and day, and the [passenger] spend is unbelievable.” Mr Bush, he said, was “perfectly correct”, except that “we are not dying. We are dead.”

Experts estimate Cayman has lost “tens of millions of dollars” as ships bypass George Town, while rumours of British political obstruction abound, delaying the start of work.

London, one analyst said “is looking at Cayman, and if the cruise dock costs $200 million and it doesn’t work, then they feel they have to pick up the tab.”

Executive Director of the Cayman

Islands Tourist Association Trina Christian-Savage acknowledged that “we are in trouble”, estimating builders needed two years to complete the piers, and asking if anything could be done in the interim.

“We need a reality check. Could we start with one pier, and look at our tendering operations and what we can do to improve them?” she added.

Mr Bush is in Shanghai this week for the “China Offshore Summit” and a simultaneous Cayman Islands investment seminar on the side. Afterwards, he will tour Cayman’s Hong Kong offices, meeting a series of investors, finance managers and private-sector companies.

Prior to his Saturday departure, Mr Bush said he would conclude in November a formal agreement for port development and related infrastructure with Beijing’s China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC).

Press Secretary to Mr Bush,

Charles Glidden, declined to comment on any scheduled meetings between the premier and CHEC, saying only he was “not sure about the itinerary”, but acknowledging that a meeting “is possible”.

Big art auctionThe National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) has been actively working towards the construction of a new building located along the Esterley Tibbetts Highway. Upon completion, the new facility will provide a home for school children, artists, teachers, researchers, archivists, seniors and students and the wider public of all ages, becoming the central education facility for visual arts in our islands. The new facility is in its

final phase of construction and NGCI staff is currently busy fundraising to close the remaining gap. With the majority of funds for the project having been raised privately the gallery has approached more than a dozen Cayman’s leading artists to donate works to the BIG ART AUCTION (not to be confused with the BIG ARTS GIVE—a separate NGCI fundraising initiative).100% of funds raised will

go directly to helping close the NGCI Capital Fund. The donating artists have been invited to tour the site that the sales of their works will benefit. The works donated will be

on display at the National Gallery for three weeks leading up to the BIG ART AUCTION on 24th November--the last day the National Gallery will be open to the public in its current location. For more information on

the Big Art Auction contact us on 945-8111 or email the Director on [email protected]

Two week old baby rescued after Turkish quake ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — A two-week-old baby girl, her mother and grandmother were pulled alive from the rubble of an apartment building in a dramatic rescue Tuesday, 48 hours after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake toppled some 2,000 buildings in eastern Turkey.

Television footage showed a rescuer in an orange jumpsuit squeezing into the hulk of crushed concrete and metal to free the baby. The infant, named Azra Karaduman, was wrapped in a blanket and handed over to a medic amid a scrum of media and applauding emergency workers.

Authorities said the death toll had

jumped to 432 as rescuers in Ercis and the provincial capital, Van, raced against time to free dozens of people trapped inside mounds of concrete, twisted steel and construction debris. At least nine people were rescued on Tuesday, although many more bodies were discovered.

Authorities have warned survivors in the mainly Kurdish area not to enter damaged buildings and thousands spent a second night outdoors in cars or tents in near-freezing conditions, afraid to return to their homes. Some 1,300 people were injured.

There was still no power or running water and aid distribution was

disrupted as desperate people stopped trucks even before they entered Ercis. Aid workers said they were able to find emergency housing for only about half the people who needed it.

Libyans bury Gadhafi in unmarked graveMISRATA, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi was buried early yesterday morning in an unmarked grave in a modest Islamic ceremony, closing the book on his nearly 42-year rule of Libya and the eight-month civil war to oust him.

A Gadhafi nephew read a prayer for the dead before Gadhafi’s body — along with those of his son Muatassim and former defense minister Abu Bakr Younis — were handed over for burial, said Ibrahim Beitalmal, a spokesman for the military council in the port city of Misrata.

The bodies had been kept in cold storage in Misrata for four days before being taken under cover of darkness to the burial site, which Beitalmal said was “not far” from the city. As part of the ceremony, the bodies were washed in line with Islamic tradition. A Muslim cleric, a nephew of Gadhafi and sons of Abu Bakr then recited prayers before handing the bodies over for burial, which took place at 5 a.m.

Libya’s new leaders have said they would not reveal the location of the grave, fearing it could be vandalized or turned into a shrine for the former

dictator’s die-hard supporters.Gadhafi was captured alive on

Thursday as he tried to flee his hometown of Sirte, where he had been hiding since revolutionary forces swept into the capital, Tripoli, two months earlier.

Second murder charge for VybzDancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has been charged with a second murder.

Last night, detectives from the Constant Spring Criminal Investigation Branch issued a press release; confirming that Kartel along with Kiro Jones o/c “Ray Jones,” were charged for the murder in relation to the death of Clive “Lizard” Williams.

According to law enforcement officials, Williams was murdered on August 16th in Havendale, St. Andrew. This charge comes several weeks after it was announced that a badly burnt body was found in a Havendale premises believed to be owned by the Portmore Empire deejay.

Kartel’s lawyer, Michael Deans that the self-proclaimed, “Worl’ Boss” is, “shocked at these baseless allegations, but has the greatest confidence in the judiciary and the legal system.”

Vybz Kartel has been in custody since September 29th when he along with three other individuals were arrested and charged with ganja possession at a small hotel in New Kingston. On October 3rd, the “Dancehall Hero” was charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm in relation to the shooting death of Barrington “Bossie” Burton, a 27 year old businessman/promoter of a St. Catherine address. It is alleged

that Kartel and a group of men shot and killed Burton while he stood with friends alongside Walker’s Avenue in Gregory Park, St. Andrew.

Kartel is expected to be brought before the courts immediately to answer to this new murder charge.

North Side MLA Ezzard Miller hit the nail well and truly on the head when he

said recently, “The mixing of politicians’ business interests with their role as public servants is becoming increasingly problematic.” He called on elected government members to divest themselves of their private interests. He also said, “Some government members have interests directly related to their public work, and even if that is not leading to actual issues of dishonesty, it is creating the perception of it. He also said he had concerns that not all MLAs are being completely open when it comes to declaring their interests in the register.”

Although we have a Register of Interests, Mr. Miller observed he was not sure if all members had declared their interests in everything and there was no pressure on them to do so.

It surely should be mandatory for a minister to declare his business interest when he is involved in negotiations that could benefit him. He should excuse himself immediately. We have the arrest of the deputy Chairman of the NHDT the other day whilst he is investigated for fraud by manipulating his position of trust to sell insurance to applicants to buy homes.

I have to say I agree with Mr. Miller’s many concerns on this matter. It is indeed sad when the public at large seem to accept that it is not wrong for ministers to accept gifts and hospitality or demand their resignations when they are involved in questionable situations regarding their interests.

Isn’t it utterly incredible the RCIPS have lost the video tape evidence in the assault case against Raziel Jeffers, and the very capable RCIPS Public Relations Officer Janet

Dougal seems to have been given different information by the portfolio relevant to the matter? When the Crown Prosecutor, Kenneth Ferguson, states, “the evidence that existed was apparently recorded over”, it cannot be interpreted as anything else but lost!

Attorney, Peter Polack, said, “It is suspicious that this evidence has disappeared. The bigger question is really one of efficiency. These are serious matters and when police send a matter to court and then mishandle important evidence, it is a waste of the court’s time and money.

“This inefficiency in police procedure and prosecution is a recurring decimal in legal matters in the Cayman Islands unfortunately, as seen in the recent acquittals in several high profile murder cases. It also calls into question the dependability of any CCTV that the Islands are spending millions of dollars on.”

I have to concur and I hope Commissioner, David Baines, provides us with assurances the matter is being investigated and steps will be taken insuring it will never happen again. I am still waiting to hear about the missing guns the RCIPS lost.

It is so sad when the Chief Justice of the Cayman Islands, Hon. Anthony Smellie, has to send a letter to the media stating the futility and “misguided attempts to deflect blame away from one arm of law enforcement to another.”

The general public has, at large, lost confidence in the ability of the RCIPS and Mr. Baines has a very difficult job to restore this confidence. Unfortunately, this latest incident has done nothing to help him. ‘Incompetence’ would seem to best describe what is happening in his police force and I am sorry I have to finally say it.

Constitution and UK relationship talks on BracThis Thursday evening, a combined public meeting on Cayman Brac will address the constitutional rights of all residents, and will also serve to introduce the committee that is reviewing the UK/Overseas Territories relationship.

The meeting will take place from 7 to 8:30p.m. on Thursday, 27 October, at the Aston Rutty Centre.

Presentations will be delivered by both groups, and residents can express their concerns or have questions answered.

Part of the discussions will focus on the constitutional relationship between the United Kingdom and the Cayman Islands (which is currently under review). Residents can offer feedback on any constitutional matters or

issues. The public-discussion document, “People-Initiated Referenda”, will also be circulated.

Thursday’s gathering will also promote use of the Constitution Commission’s new website: www.knowyourconstitution.ky.

Refreshments will be served.Similar public meetings have

already been held in all districts on Grand Cayman.

Hurricane Rina yesterday morning (25) was at Cat. 2 strength and struggling a little bit. It’s path is uncertain. Both Crown Weather and Weather Underground mention various scenarios and few of the models agree. There are so many ‘ifs’ the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) has a path graphic with a huge balloon ‘trapping’ where the hurricane will end up. From the Yucatan Peninsular, Cayman Islands to the Florida Keys! Anyone want to place a bet? Dr. Jeff Masters (Weather Underground) reports that

Rina has “brought sporadic heavy rain squalls to the Cayman Islands; George Town on Grand Cayman has received 4.76” of rain over the past three days from Rina, as of 9 am EDT this morning.”

The major concern to us is Invest 97L which the NHC yesterday morning was showing a 30% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Thursday. When I left home most of the models were showing major development of the storm into a hurricane with a dead hit at the Cayman Islands. On arriving at the office only one was showing any major development! However,

as Rob Lightbown of Crown Weather says, “None of the global models are spinning up this disturbance even though it is clearly showing signs of organisation and development.”

Wherever this one goes, and even if it remains as a low, 97L is going to bring more heavy rain to the Cayman Islands by Friday morning.

I leave you with Mr. Lightbown’s final words of yesterday morning, “I think there is enough evidence in the satellite presentation and the forecast favourable environmental conditions to say that Invest 97L needs to be watched very closely over the next couple of days and interests in the Cayman Islands should pay particularly close attention to this system.”

For the full weather discussion go to Crown Weather Services at www.crownweather.com and to the National Hurricane Centre at www.nhc.noaa.gov/. We wish to thank Crown Weather for the permission to use their graphics and information. Please support them. Also look for the local advisories from the C.I. Government at www.weather.gov.ky

The Arts and Recreation Centre at Cayman Bay became the centre of style, sophistication and elegance as the Fashion Solstice Gala got underway.

The Gala was part of four days of Solstice fashion-themed events and was aimed at raising the profile of

Cayman as a fashionable destination while showcasing talented local fashion designers as well as up-and-coming local models.

“Solstice’s focus is to improve on the tourism product and to enhance it. The idea is to get Cayman on the international fashion calendar,” said Cindy Jones of Guavaberry Marketing

“People like fashion and they like lifestyle and Cayman is a great

destination for luxurious lifestyle and so to add fashion to that would be the perfect combination.”

The show was hosted by former Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillips, and Joel Steingold from the American reality TV show “Clean House” and it began with several collections from local fashion designers and stores.

There were plenty of men’s fashions this year too with men’s casual wear,

received catwalk training earlier in the year with the legendary model, Alva Page, included Cassianne Lawrence, Nadicia Dixon, Tanjana Campbell, Sydney Solomon, Andre Johnson, Adrianna Christian and Nicosia Lawson. They shared the catwalk with International models Sessilee Lopez, Lisa Jackson, Aminat

Ayinde, Bianca Golden and Tyrone Baker, amongst others.

The big attraction of the Solstice events is the synergy of bringing local and international talent together:

“Local models get very inspired by being around the international ones,” Ms Jones said. “We are looking at three models who we think can make it internationally right now. We will be sending one of our local models to

New York Fashion Week next year,” she added.

“Local designers included Jawara Alleyne, Kidan Brooks and Gabz & Gabz and we had local store, Sand Angels, take part as well,” she said.

Headlining the show were international designers Kevan Hall, Cesar Galindo, Korto Momolu, Francis Hendy, Roger Gary, Andrew Cristian and Copperwheat.

Immigration goes pinkiHealth LIFESTYLE

The women and men employed in the Department of Immigration continued their traditional support of breast cancer awareness (Friday, 21 October), by going ‘pink’ as part of the widespread dress- down campaign.

Of the 160 Immigration officers and administrative staff, most are female. As they have in previous years, staff members wore shirts, ribbons, pins and accessories to symbolise their support of the initiative and the many women affected.

In so doing, they also raised funds towards the Cayman Islands Cancer Society’s preventative education campaign.

Chief Immigration Officer Linda Evans applauded her staff on their continued sensitivity to the issue and encouraged them to share the education message within their families and communities.

20/20 Cayman Islands National Healthcare ConferenceThe 2nd annual National Healthcare Conference, to be held this November at the Ritz Carlton, is shaping up to be one of most anticipated events of the year. Speakers from both the international and local medical community have committed to presenting on topics that will help shape the developing national health care policy and improve the current healthcare model.

Leading up to the conference, the Health Services Authority has been very much a part of the process and has been involved in the planning efforts at the Premium Sponsorship level.

As the largest provider of healthcare in the Cayman Islands, the Health Services Authority offers a wide range of primary and secondary health services to both residents and visitors of the Cayman Islands. The organization is the second largest employer in the Cayman Islands and is strategically located throughout the three islands, with the Cayman Islands Hospital and four district health centers in Grand Cayman, the

Faith Hospital in Cayman Brac and the Health Centre in Little Cayman.

CEO of the Health Services Mrs. Lizzette Yearwood commented “One aspect that I am most pleased about is the number of sponsors from the private healthcare community that have lent their support to make this conference possible. The search for quality and affordability in healthcare is something that requires the input from all stakeholders – public and private sector healthcare providers, the Ministry, employers and the public. I am delighted at the range of sponsors that have come on board and look forward to working closely with them all.”

The Minister of Health, the Honourable Mark Scotland, said, “The H.S.A. has been instrumental in heading up the planning and organizing of the conference and the Ministry is very grateful for their invaluable contribution. Providing the highest quality healthcare is a part of their mission statement and the knowledge gained at this

conference will be incorporated into their plan of providing access to quality healthcare whilst at the same time running an economically sustainable organization.”

Tenet Healthcare, BritCay and Tower Marketing are the other three premium sponsors who have made tremendous contributions to make this highly anticipated event a reality. Major sponsors, including Chrissie Tomlinson Memorial Hospital, Canadian Medical Network, Intelligent Medical Objects and Admiral Administration have also generously lent their support.

Registrations are still open and everyone is welcome to attend. There are no registration fees and all are encouraged to come out on 17 – 19 November to hear from the experts on the theme Healthcare Economics: The Search for Quality and Affordability.

There were many men who, seeing Helen Lorrington for the first time, thought her exquisitely beautiful; there were others who, seeing her for the first time, thought her singularly ugly. The second time, there was never a question. Her grandfather called her an albino; but he was nearly blind, and could only see the color of her hair. He could not see the strong brown light of her eyes, or the soft ivory complexion, which never changed in the wind, the heat, or the cold.

Mrs. Lorrington was always dressed richly, but after a fashion of her own. Instead of disguising the slenderness of her form, she intensified it; instead of contrasting hues, she often wore amber tints like her hair. Amid all her silks, jewels, and laces, there was always supreme her own personality, which reduced her costumes to what, after all, costumes should be, merely the subordinate coverings of a beautiful woman.

Helen had a clear, flute-like voice, with few low notes, and a remarkably high range. She continued her lessons with Belzini whenever she was in the city, more in order that he might transpose her songs for her than for any instruction he could now bestow. She was an old pupil of his, and the sentimental Italian adored her; this adoration, however, did not prevent him from being very comfortable at home with his portly wife. One morning Helen, coming in for a moment to leave a new song, found Anne at the piano taking her lesson. Belzini, always anxious to please his fair-haired divinity, motioned to her to stay and listen. Anne’s rich voice pleased her ears; but she had heard rich voices before. What held her attention now was the girl herself. For although Helen was a marvel of self-belief, although she made her own peculiar beauty an object of worship, and was so saturated with knowledge of herself that she could not take an attitude

which did not become her, she yet possessed a comprehension of other types of beauty, and had, if not an admiration for, at least a curiosity about, them. In Anne she recognized at once what Tante had also recognized—unfolding beauty of an unfamiliar type, the curves of a nobly shaped form hidden under an ugly gown, above the round white throat a beautiful head, and a singularly young face shadowed by a thoughtfulness which was very grave and impersonal when compared with the usual light, self-centered expressions of young girls’ faces. At once Helen’s artistic eye had Anne before her, robed in fit attire; in imagination she dressed her slowly from head to foot as the song went on, and was considering the question of jewels when the music ceased, and Belzini was turning toward her.

“I hope I may become better acquainted with this rich voice,” she said, coming back gracefully to the present. “May I introduce myself? I should like to try a duet with you, if you will allow me, Miss—”

“Douglas,” said Belzini; “and this, mademoiselle, is Mrs. Lorrington.” Such was the beginning.

In addition to Helen’s fancy for Anne’s fair grave face, the young girl’s voice proved a firmer support for her high soprano than it had

ever obtained. Her own circle in society and the music classes had been searched in vain more than once. For she needed a soprano, not a contralto. And as soprani is particularly human, there had never been any lasting co-operation. Anne, however, cheerfully sang whatever Belzini put before her, remained admiringly silent while Helen executed the rapid runs and trills with which she always decorated her part, and then, when the mezzo was needed again, gave her full voice willingly, supporting the other as the notes of an organ meet and support a flute after its solo.

Belzini was in ecstasies; he sat up all night to copy music for them. He said, anxiously, to Helen: “And the young girl? You like her, do you not? Such a voice for you!”

“But I can not exactly buy young girls, can I?” said Mrs.Lorrington, smiling.

More and more, however, each day she liked “the young girl” for herself alone. She was an original, of course; almost an aboriginal; for she told the truth exactly upon all occasions, appropriate or inappropriate, and she had convictions. She was not aware, apparently, of the old-fashioned and cumbrous appearance of these last-named articles of mental furniture. But the real secret of Helen’s liking lay in the fact that Anne admired her, and was at the same time neither envious nor jealous, and from her youth she had been troubled by the sure development of these two feelings, sooner or later, in all her girl companions. In truth, Helen’s lot was enviable; and also, whether consciously or unconsciously, she had a skill in provoking jealousy. She was the spoiled child of fortune. It was no wonder, therefore, that those of her own sex and age seldom enjoyed being with her: the contrast was too great. Helen was, besides, the very queen of Whim.

US beats 10-time defending champ Cuba at Pan Ams

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — Even if it isn’t quite the “Miracle on Grass,” it’s still a victory over Cuba, and it’s still a big deal for the U.S. baseball team.

The United States upset its biggest rival 12-10 Monday in the baseball semifinals at the Pan American Games, knocking the 10-time defending champion Cubans off the top of the medal podium for the first time since 1967.“This is the fifth time I’ve

played Cuba, and we finally beat them,” said U.S. shortstop Jordy Mercer, who doubled in two runs in the fourth inning. “I told the guys that Cuba will never give up and to keep battling, and sure enough they came back. It’s just a credit to this team that we kept fighting.”Cuba has dominated baseball

at the quadrennial games since the first tournament in 1951. It has won 12 of the 15 titles, including every one between 1971 and 2007. The United States, which beat the Cubans to win the gold in 1967, has finished second to Cuba eight times.“I thought Saturday’s game

against Mexico was one of my top baseball moments all-time, but this game just jumped ahead,” Mercer said.Although the baseball victory

didn’t add to the gold medal tally, the United States still won five more titles on Day 10 of the Pan American Games to bring its leading total to 62 gold and 165 overall.

The Cayman Islands Cricket Association, together with the Cayman Islands Cricket Umpires Association held a Cricket Seminar and Umpires Workshop at the John Gray High School Hall.

The workshop was hosted by Billy Doctrove an International Cricket Council’s Elite Umpire, who had flown all the way from Dominica.

The audience had come to hear Mr. Doctrove speak on the art and science of umpiring, and topics included new

playing conditions and laws, and the qualities needed to be a top class umpire.

Sydney Moore, Secretary of the Cayman Islands Cricket Umpires Association said: “We have just

become a full member of the West Indies Cricket Umpires Association WICUA,

“And we want to motivate local umpires, encouraging them to continue to gain a full umpires qualification,” he said.

“This seminar is aimed at encouraging young umpires and cricketers to see umpiring as a career path,” he added.

Technical director of the Cayman Islands Cricket Association “Coach” Theo Cuffy said: “This visit from an international umpire is a credit to our local umpires association- the CICUA

“We are very pleased that Billy Doctrove could find time in his busy schedule to be here with us. His presence affords us the opportunity to widen our knowledge in the laws and regulations of cricket, and his life story shows us that cricket officiating can be used as a career opportunity.”

Mr. Doctrove began his presentation by asking the audience: “If you had to think of one quality the umpires need, what would it be?”

Answers coming back included, “Good eyesight, “A high level of consistency,” and “high level of fitness”.

“That last answer is critical. You need to be in good physical condition, because when you get tired the first thing to go is your concentration,” he said.

Another answer suggested by Mr. Doctrove was “honesty,” and gave the example of an umpire disallowing a catch because he favoured the batsman. But being completely honest and impartial as an umpire was not something that could be easily switched on and switched off, it had to be cultivated in everyday life.

“You have to groom yourself to be honest and impartial in everyday life, and transfer it to the cricket pitch. You cannot do it the other way round,” he said.

Another very important quality was the ability to ‘let go’ of a mistake, and not have it on your mind for too long, as it will affect an umpire’s concentration. Another quality was the ability to be “Thick Skinned,” “You have to be prepared to be called names,” he said.

Confidence in your own abilities was also an important umpire’s characteristic, Mr. Doctrove said, as he cited an example of an umpire who was known to be good with low-level matches, but went to pieces during an important international game. When asked why he replied: “ ‘There were too many big names.’”

“You have to have a sense of humour too, to be able to laugh at yourself. Common sense too, - something no book will tell you,” was another piece of sound advice.

“As an umpire you have to prepare properly for the game. Get a good night’s rest beforehand- it’s no good ‘bobbing and weaving’ because you went partying before the game,” he said.
