A major shake up in the schools system was announced by Minister of Education, the Hon. Rolston Anglin.

It will mean an end to the current “diplomas for all” factory which allows all students to graduate regardless of academic ability.

Now pupils will have to pass exams in order to succeed at school – rather than being judged solely on behaviour and attendence.

The first change means that government high school students graduating from June 2014 onwards will have to demonstrate academic ability before they receive their high school diplomas

The new initiative will mean that all students who wish to obtain a graduation diploma at the end of compulsory education will also be expected to meet a minimum academic standard.

Mr Anglin, explained the importance of this new development.

He said: “These criteria have been long awaited by our business and education communities. They are a clear indication of my commitment to raise the standards of education in these islands. It’s not good enough to merely turn up and behave moderately well to gain a High School Diploma. Modern society requires a minimum skill level, even at the most basic entry level of employment, and hence our criteria must reflect such requirements.

“We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving,” sang a group of students from the Lighthouse School. It was a great way to get the George Town Heritage Day festivities started. There

were traditional art and craft displays, culinary treats such as conch and snapper served with rice, and yet more local culture in the form of the North Side Kitchen Band, who performed some of Cayman’s favourite songs.

A crowd of excited moms, dads, boys and girls waited patiently for the 50 turtles to be released into the waters of the North Sound, and from there to the oceans of the world.

The Cayman Turtle Farm’s release programme, known to biologists as ‘headstarting’, has placed many thousands of green sea turtles into the wild since the first official release of 1980.

Turtles have been associated with the Cayman Islands ever since being sighted by Christopher Columbus on 10 May 1503 during his fourth and final voyage, when he called the islands Las Tortugas after the large number of sea turtles observed there.

But the tasty turtle meat, in plenty of demand from sailors whose food

stocks were running low, meant that the turtles around the Cayman Islands were fished to the point where today, scentists have counted only 30 adult females regularly laying their eggs on Cayman shores.

That is why the turtle release programme is so important. Since systematic turtle releasing began in 1980, many thousands of turtles have been released to the wild, boosting the local population.

Many of the year-old turtles during the 31st annual turtle were tagged with tiny electronic transponders, which can be detected by scientists around the world who study turtle swimming patterns.

Members of the public got a chance to release the turtles, many of which were just babies, by entering a raffle. There was also a member of the

Seattle Pirates who released a turtle into the sea, as the Pirates have been sponsoring the programme.

Johnson Bank to close CI branch

Johnson Bank is closing a branch in the Cayman Islands that opened in 1998 to facilitate overnight deposit transactions for what the bank called a limited number of large commercial customers.The Johnson Bank branch

in Grand Cayman handles so-called Euro-sweep accounts. American banks typically offer an overnight investment into a U.S. dollar account held in a Cayman Islands branch. Banks convert the funds into higher-yielding savings or investment instruments.Johnson Bank is not required

to provide collateral for the transactions and the funds in the branch do not count toward the bank’s reserve requirements, according to a letter Johnson Bank submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The Cayman Islands office will close by Dec. 31.Johnson Bank is owned by

Johnson Financial Group, Racine.“The branch is being closed

due to changes in the Johnson Financial Group Inc. corporate structure and changes in U.S. banking law which now allows interest to be paid on commercial deposit accounts,” Johnson Bank senior vice president John Topczewski said in the letter.Johnson Financial Group and

Johnson Bank named new top management in July, including new CEO Tom Bolger, formerly of Harris Bank. The family that owns S.C. Johnson & Son Inc. and Johnson Financial announced Nov. 1 it was investing $235 million to shore up the family’s Johnson Financial Group and Johnson Bank.

“These criteria also reflect my continued commitment to encouraging lifelong learning - what I like to term second chances. Within these criteria are opportunities to accumulate the minimum academic standard over time, not just at one sitting.”

Mr. Anglin added the ministry was also developing ways in which adult learners who had missed out while at school would have another opportunity to gain their high school diploma.

Education Ministry Chief Officer, Mary Rodrigues, said: “The new graduation criteria are the fruit of much debate and the contributions of a special Ministerial committee by key stakeholders, chaired by the

Chief Education Officer, Mrs Shirley Wahler. We owe them our thanks. This is a huge milestone for the Government Education System and will help prepare our young people more effectively for the future.”

The new graduation criteria are designed to be within the reach of special education needs students studying within mainstream education at the high schools. Students within the Lighthouse School will continue to have a separate graduation and work will continue on a Special Diploma to recognise their achievements.

Within the new system, three different grades of diploma, dubbed Level 1, Level 2 and Level 2 with Honours, will reflect ascending tiers of academic achievement. Competence in both maths and English will be stressed as key criteria for all levels of diploma, Mr. Anglin said.

Another major change, the introduction of a National Qualifications Framework, is aimed at providing employers along with other education stakeholders with a more easily understood and more consistent system for evaluating and comparing qualifications.

“Do CXC and GCSE qualifications have equal value? How does a BTEC qualification compare to an IGCSE pass? What does a COEA qualification mean and what skill levels do persons with these passes possess? We’re constantly faced with these questions,” Mr. Anglin said. “It’s important that everyone in the community understands how qualifications are ranked and rated and how they match up to skills and knowledge levels. The Cayman Islands Qualifications Framework (CIQF) will assist with all this.”

The new framework slots qualifications with different titles into one of six categories ranging from “Entry Level” to “Level 5”

Entry Level is for Year 4/5 students, and includes COEA, and ASDAN Bronze Award qualifications.

Level 1 includes all the qualifications typically taken at school year 7/8 and including CXC CSEC Grades IV-VI, BTEC Level 1, as well as the new Cayman Islands Level 1 High School Diploma Level 2 will include CXC CSEC Grades I-III, GCSE/IGCSE Grades A-C, GED, BTEC Level 2 (Firsts) and the new Cayman Islands Level 2 High School Diploma.Level 3 will include A levels, BTEC level 3 and Associate Degrees. Levels 4 and 5 will correspond to bachelors and post-graduate degrees respectively.

Gallery to close then reborn in January

The National Gallery will close its Harbour Place doors forever next Thursday, after a gala evening auction of the works now on display in the final exhibition ever staged at that venue.

Amid the ensuing quiet, the personnel, the offices, all the records and paperwork of years, all the equipment, the furniture and everything else will be packed into crates and moved away.

And then, in late January, the National Gallery will finally come of age, reopening in an Even-More-Gala 28 January ceremony, throwing open the doors to its new $2 million two-storey, two-building purpose-built, 9,000-square-foot home just around the back of the Harquail Theatre, accessed by a fresh driveway on the Esterley Tibbetts Highway, near the Lawrence Boulevard roundabout.

Bright, spacious and boasting outdoor gardens designed by Camana Bay’s Sandy Urquhart, and artist/horticulturist/writer/landscaper Margaret Barwick, on four acres of land donated by theatre benefactor Helen Harquail. The new National Gallery building hopes to be a community resource, offering classroom education, an art studio, a library, rotating exhibits on the

ground floor, multi-media facilities and a permanent exhibition of Cayman’s best-known artists in the upper gallery.

“The building is now completed and the contractors have moved out. The fitting out and the work of us fitting in can start,” said Julia Goulden, head of development and administration at the gallery, which broke ground on the sleek, new, Danny Owen-designed structure only in January this year.

Although fund-raising, she said, actually started more than a decade ago, in 1999, the private donations and modest government aid only reached their culmination in the last couple of years, finally reaching completion only in the last couple of weeks.

“The upper gallery will feature a permanent exhibition of 120 paintings in the national collection,” Ms Goulden said, aware that most people do not realise Cayman even has a ”national collection”.

The exhibition will feature such names as Miss Lassie, Charles Long, Wray Banker, April Bending, Joanne Sibley, David Bridgeman, John Broad and Janet Walker, she said.

Downstairs, the lower gallery will offer rotating exhibits every three months, displaying aspiring Caymanian artists, new names such as Davin Ebanks, and modern, exploratory work.

Tours -- self-guided, school and visitors -- will be offered. “Take A Look” exhibits will provide cultural context for selected works, and mutli-media work will be displayed.

“We want to represent all the arts and push the envelope a little,” Ms Goulden said. “This is not just a

pace to sell, but a place to be shown as well.”

The second building of the complex, the Education Centre, houses the 50-seat Dart Auditorium, open for films, lectures and private gatherings such as business conferences, social functions and community presentations.

Also included is the Susan Olde Art Studio, offering working space for students and visitors and outreach classes for anyone interested. The Maples Library, the largest arts collection in Cayman, boasts research and computer facilities and a lending function for National Gallery members.

“And it’s all topped off by the landscaped grounds,” Ms Goulden said, featuring shaded areas, benches, a nature trail with native trees and shrubs, an events area for weddings and other gatherings and the Deutsche Bank Sculpture Garden.

National Gallery founders Carol Owen -- artist and wife of former Cayman Governor John Owen – and Leslie Bigelman will attend the 28 January opening, but next week’s Thursday invitation-only closing will be marked with an auction of the 22 original works now on exhibit, helping to fund the final phase of the Esterley Tibbetts move.

“Cayman’s best-known artists all contributed, 100%, their work to this,” Ms Goulden said. “It’s very special and well-worth it. There is some very strong work, something for everyone. It’s varied and very popular.”

Oh, and the new gallery, she said, boasts parking for 50, and is the first public building in Cayman designed with ramps and lifts for the disabled.

Overpacked China school bus crashes, 18 kids dieBEIJING (AP) — An overloaded school minibus crashed head-on with a truck in rural western China on Wednesday, killing at least 18 kindergarten children on their way to class, officials said.

Sixty-two children and two adults were crowded into the bus, which had just nine seats, officials said. The driver and a teacher died along with the children, aged 5 and 6, said the director of the provincial work safety emergency office, surnamed Fan.

News of the crash ignited public anger across China, with hundreds of thousands of people venting on Twitter-like microblogs, highlighting

an underfunded education system that especially shortchanges students in remote areas.

“This accident says a lot about the problems with the government’s role of monitoring school safety,” said Liu Shanying, expert in public administration at the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. “It involves the education, traffic safety and work safety authorities. They should all be blamed for this. They should all be held responsible.”

“The kindergarten van was carrying seven times as many passengers as it should have been, which meant the kindergarten should have bought

seven times as many vans,” Liu said.The collision with the truck in

China’s Gansu province left the orange school bus a crumpled and twisted wreckage. Authorities blamed the overloading for the accident, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Lost JFK assassination tapes on salePHILADELPHIA (AP) — A long-lost version of the Air Force One recordings made in the immediate aftermath of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, with more than 30 minutes of additional material not in the official version in the government’s archives, has been found and is for sale.

There are incidents and code names described on the newly discovered two-plus hour recording, which predates the shorter and newer recording currently housed in the National Archives outside Washington and the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Texas. The shorter recording was thought to be the only

surviving version of the tape.The asking price is $500,000 for

the reel-to-reel tape, which is inside its original box with a typewritten label showing it was made by the White House Communications Agency for Army Gen. Chester “Ted” Clifton Jr.

It is titled “Radio Traffic involving AF-1 in flight from Dallas, Texas to Andrews AFB on November 22, 1963.”

“As Americans have looked to the history of the Kennedy assassination in search of answers, somewhere in an attic there existed a tape made years before the only known surviving version, of the conversations on Air

Force One on that fateful day,” said Nathan Raab, vice president of The Raab Collection, a Philadelphia historic documents dealer that put the tape up for sale.

Sharon Stone announces two new rolesLOS ANGELES (AP) — Sharon Stone is taking on two very different roles: One in the Linda Lovelace biopic, and another online to welcome returning troops.

The 53-year-old actress says she will play Lovelace’s mother in “Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story.” But before filming starts, the “Basic Instinct” star has another mission: She’s taking her first steps into the world of social media with a Facebook page that welcomes returning military personnel home from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Stone says her page will serve as a community bulletin board where

people can not only thank the troops for their service, but offer them jobs, discounts, a helping hand and a warm welcome.

“It’s very important that people know that their country is behind them,” Stone said in an interview. “With all of this negative chatter in the governmental races, we need to have our actual country say what they feel in loving, really vocal terms.”

Stone said that with 38,000 military personnel heading home in the coming weeks, she hopes her ‘We Welcome Home Our Troops’ page will be a positive place where troops can find support.

“I’d like to see like big stores like K-Mart and Target offer 30 percent off for veterans,” she said.

Things have really changed a lot in George Town.Just see for yourself have a good look around.Homes and gardens that were full of children playingHave all been torn down for commercial buildings,And I’m very saddened because you seeAs chickens this was all our territory.Worms and grubs and bits and piecesWere tastier around here than in most placesWe were used to roaming, you could call us free range.We weren’t used to being fenced in or crammed in a cage.

And as cock of the roost I crowed day and nightBut with all this development we’re pushed out of sight,But I still strut around with my Rhode Island RedsAnd we scrabble for food in the landscaped flower beds.We really don’t care how much damage is doneAs long as me and my ‘chicks’ can strut and have fun.So we’ll take a chance whilst strutting aroundFor me and my chicks really love our George Town,So watch out for me when you go round those bendsI’ll be somewhere near with my lady friends.

It was a beautiful day for Saturday’s (12) Landing and Float Parade. The sea

had calmed down just in time for the two galleons full of marauding pirates to make their annual invasion and capture the Governor complete with loud explosions and the demolition of the fort. The float parade was one of the very best I have seen and full marks to the organisers.

The fireworks display on Friday (11) was spectacular as usual and once again the weather was perfect.

It is a great pity premier Hon. McKeeva Bush has not been present, either last year or this year, to witness the thousands of spectators on both days with at least a third being children. I say this because Mr. Bush announced he was going to end the Festival and then gave it a reprieve for two years because of the huge wave of dismay that descended upon him immediately afterwards.

The sheer delight on the children’s faces on both days would have melted anyone’s hearts and there were many visitors present as well. The detractors of Pirates Week must have very cold disposition not to have been moved.

There was also speculation this year whether the Seattle Seafair Pirates would be invited and I was relieved when I saw them arrive on the strange

looking boat that landed them almost in the water on the Hog Sty Bay Beach as part of the landing pageant. They have been very much a part of our festivities and the Cayman Islands get a lot of free promotion because of their participation in Seattle from both print and television in their hometown. It was a nice touch for the Governor’s redcoats to actually capture them before the main pirate ships arrived with reinforcements.

On a personal opinion I wish the gallows with hangman’s noose had been omitted. One year when I was involved the very suggestion of having a gallows was immediately shouted down being in very bad taste especially with the large amount of children being present. I sincerely hope this does not become a permanent part of the landing scenario. It was the only thing I heard any complaints about, apart from the always problem of spectators not being able to see everything that is going on.

The Pirates Week Festival brings a lot of positive publicity to the Cayman Islands, not only during the week it is held. The District Days are always well attended and they are a showcase for our Islands heritage to visitors and residents.

Well done to the Pirates Week office and all the volunteers who do so much work, most of whom don’t even get their names mentioned. It takes months of preparation. I salute all of you.

SCRABBLING (A BUSH FOWL’S VIEW)

iCulture LIFESTYLE

RISK FACTORSSmoking is the main risk factor. It’s responsible for almost all the cases of COPD.Other risk factors for COPD are:Exposure to certain gases or fumes in the workplaceExposure to heavy amounts of secondhand smoke and pollutionRare genetic disorders

COPD SYMPTOMS:COPD usually causes no or mild symptoms at first. As the disease progresses, symptoms usually worsen. The most common symptoms include:

Coughing and spitting up phlegm Wheezing (a whistling or squeaking noise as

you breathe)Shortness of breath with activity or even at rest

DIAGNOSIS:Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) — The pulmonary function test (PFT) that measures airway obstruction is called spirometry, and is the best test for diagnosing COPD. Spirometry can detect COPD even in people who do not yet have symptoms.

After the diagnosis of COPD is confirmed, spirometry is repeated over time to monitor the status of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.

Using a stethoscope to listen to the lungs can also be helpful. However, sometimes the lungs sound normal even when COPD is present.

Pictures of the lungs (such as x-rays and CT scans) can be helpful, but sometimes look normal even when a person has COPD (especially chest x-ray).

Sometimes patients need to have a blood test (called arterial blood gas) to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.

COPD TREATMENT:The first and most important part of any treatment plan for COPD is for smokers to stop smoking. This is true regardless of how long ago you were diagnosed with COPD and how severe your disease is. Studies of people with COPD show that worsening of the disease is slowed in people who stop smoking.

Currently, there is no cure for COPD; however, many treatments are available for the symptoms and complications of this disorder. Most patients require ongoing treatment to keep symptoms under control.

MEDICATIONSBronchodilators: Medications that help open the airways, called bronchodilators, are a mainstay of treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Bronchodilators help to keep airways open and possibly decrease secretions. They are most commonly given in an inhaled

form using a metered dose inhaler (MDI), dry powder inhaler (DPI), or nebulizer.Glucocorticoids: Glucocorticoids (also called steroids, although they are very different from muscle building steroids) are a class of medication that has anti-inflammatory properties. Glucocorticoids can be taken with an inhaler, as a pill, or as an injection. Inhaled glucocorticoids may be recommended if your symptoms are not completely controlled with bronchodilators and/or if you have frequent flares of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Glucocorticoids taken in pill form are sometimes used for short term treatment (eg, for flares of COPD), but are not generally used long-term because of the risk of side effects.Oxygen: People with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can have low oxygen levels in the blood. This condition, known as hypoxemia, can occur even if the person does not feel short of breath or have other symptoms. The oxygen level can be measured with a device placed on the finger (pulse oximeter) or with a blood test (arterial blood gas). People with hypoxemia may be placed on oxygen therapy, which can improve survival and quality of life.Antibiotics: Antibiotics are prescribed during symptom flare-ups, because infections can make COPD worse.

AnnePart 76

We continue our serialisation of Anne by Constance Fenimore Woolson

“What are to be my duties?” asked Anne. “Whatever I require,” answered the old woman, grimly.

When the song was ended, there was much applause of the subdued drawing-room kind—applause, however, plainly intended for Helen alone. Singularly enough, Miss Vanhorn resented this. “If I should take Anne, dress her properly, and introduce her as my niece, the Lorrington would be nowhere,” she thought, angrily. It was the first germ of the idea.

It was not allowed to disappear. It grew and gathered strength slowly, as Tante and Helen intended it should; the two friendly conspirators never relaxed for a day their efforts concerning it. Anne remained unconscious of these manœuvres; but the old grandaunt was annoyed, and urged, and flattered, and menaced forward with so much skill that it ended in her proposing to Anne, one day in the early spring, that she should come and spend the summer with her, the children on the island to be provided for meanwhile by an allowance, and Anne herself to have a second winter at the Moreau school, if she wished it, so that she might be fitted for a higher position than otherwise she could have hoped to attain.

“Oh, grandaunt!” cried the girl, taking the old loosely gloved hand in hers.

“There is no occasion for shaking hands and grand-aunting in that way,” said Miss Vanhorn. “If you wish to do what I propose, do it; I am not actuated by any new affection for you. You will take four days to consider; at the end of that period, you may send me your answer. But, with your acceptance, I shall require the strictest obedience. And—no allusion whatever to your mother.”

“What are to be my duties?” asked Anne, in a low voice.

“Whatever I require,” answered the old woman, grimly.

At first Anne thought of consulting Tante. But she had a strong under-current of loyalty in her nature, and the tie of blood bound her to her grandaunt, after all: she decided to consult no one but herself. The third day was Sunday. In the twilight she sat alone on her narrow bed, by the window of the dormitory,

thinking. It was a boisterous March evening; the wildest month of the twelve was on his mad errands as usual. Her thoughts were on the island with the children; would it not be best for them that she should accept the offered allowance, and go with this strange grandaunt of hers, enduring as best she might her cold severity? Miss Lois’s income was small; the allowance would make the little household comfortable. A second winter in New York would enable her to take a higher place as teacher, and also give the self-confidence she lacked. Yes; it was best.

But a great and overwhelming loneliness rose in her heart at the thought of another long year’s delay before she could be with those she loved. Rast’s last letter was in her pocket; she took it out, and held it in her hand for comfort. In it he had written of the sure success of his

future; and Anne believed it as fully as he did. Her hand grew warmer as she held the sheet, and as she recalled his sanguine words. She began to feel courageous again. Then another thought came to her: must she tell Miss Vanhorn of her engagement? In their new conditions, would it not be dishonest to keep the truth back? “I do not see that it can be of any interest to her,” she said to herself. “Still, I prefer to tell her.” And then, having made her decision, she went to Tante.

Tante was charmed with the news (and with the success of her plan). She discoursed upon family affection in very beautiful language. “You will find a true well-spring of love in the heart of your venerable relative,” she remarked, raising her delicate handkerchief, like the suggestion of a happiness that reached even to tears. “Long, long have I held your cherished grandaunt in a warm corner of my memory and heart.”

This was true as regarded the time and warmth; only the latter was of a somewhat peppery nature.

The next morning Helen was told the news. She threw back her head in comic despair. “The old dragon has taken the game out of my hands at last,” she said, “and ended all the

sport. Excuse the title, Anne. But I am morally certain she has all sorts of vinegarish names for me. And now—am I to congratulate you upon your new home?”

“It is more a matter of duty, I think, than congratulation,” said Anne, thoughtfully. “And next, I must tell her of my engagement.”

“I wouldn’t, if I were you, Crystal.” “Why?”“She would rather have you free.”“I shall be free, as far as she is concerned.”“Do not be too sure of that. And take my

advice—do not tell her.” Anne, however, paid no heed to this admonition; some things she did simply because she could not help doing them. She had intended to make her little confession immediately; but Miss Vanhorn gave her no opportunity. “That is enough talking,” she said. “I have neuralgia in my eyebrow.”

New playground named after Miss Olive“Miss Olive” as she is affectionately known by many, was the honoured guest on the 8th November, the day before her 90th birthday, at the NCVO’s Richard Arch Children’s Centre in the playground of Miss Nadine’s Pre-School.

The celebration was attended by members of the NCVO Board, NCVO Senior Staff, and friends

and family including Mrs. Miller’s brother Alan and his wife, and past NCVO CEO Sandie Wilson who were visiting Cayman. Those in attendance were welcomed by Janice Wilson, NCVO CEO.

John Alban, Care Manager of the NCVO’s Foster Home read out a speech prepared by NCVO Deputy Chairman Mike Donnelly which

outlined Mrs. Miller’s community work and service.

Four year olds from Miss Nadine’s Pre-School sang “My Island Home” from Olive Miller’s recently published book, “Cayman Rhyme Time” and presented her with cards that they had made.

Mrs. Miller then uncovered a plaque which read:

This playground is named after

MRS. OLIVE MILLER, MBE Cert. Hon., JP

In recognition of her many years of dedication and commitment to the NCVO and the community it serves

In her own words,

“On 8th November, just at three, The NCVO Board had a ceremony,

To fete me as their honoree, And name the Pre-school playground after me.

A lovely Caymanite plaque I unveiled to proclaimThis fine play space will always bear my name.”

– Mrs. Olive Miller

17th century shipwreck found off Swedish coastSTOCKHOLM (AP) — A shipwreck discovered in the murky waters of the Baltic Sea is believed to be a legendary 17th century warship whose captain went down with it in battle rather than surrender to the enemy.

Deep Sea Productions, an underwater research team, said Wednesday it believes the 25-meter (82-feet) wooden wreck it found off the island of Oland this summer is the ship Svardet, which sank when Sweden was defeated by a Danish-Dutch fleet in a 1676 naval battle.

Malcolm Dixelius, a member of the research team, said that wood samples show the wreck is from the 17th century. He also said the stern of the ship is missing, which is consistent with historical reports that Svardet went under after a fire and explosion at the stern.

Thousands of other wrecks — from

medieval vessels to warships sunk during the world wars — have been found in the Baltic Sea, which doesn’t have the ship worm that destroys wooden wrecks in saltier oceans.

Marine Archaeology Professor Johan Ronnby said he is convinced the newly discovered wreck is that of Svardet, making it one of four giant warships from the 16th and 17th centuries that have been recovered in the Baltic Sea.

Earlier this year, the same research team discovered the 16th century warship Mars at a nearby location. The ship Kronan was discovered in 1981, yielding more than 30,000 archaeological artifacts.

Among the four is Sweden’s most famous maritime discovery, the 17th century royal warship Vasa, which was raised from the seabed in the Stockholm harbor in 1961 and can be

viewed in a popular museum.Svardet and Kronan were lost in the

same fight, described as the largest naval battle in the history of the Baltic Sea.

According to historical reports, Svardet was set afire by a Dutch ship after a five-hour battle. The commander, admiral Claes Uggla, refused to abandon his ship as it went down.

The research team had been searching for Svardet for more than 10 years when it found it between the Swedish islands Gotland and Oland at a depth of between 50 and 100 meters, surrounded by the hundreds of canons it carried when it went under.

The team will now collaborate with researchers at the Swedish Maritime Archaeological Research Institute to document the shipwrecks and make a 3D documentary about the vessels.

Doppler Moves Ahead(GIS) — With two contracts now awarded to European companies and a construction tender going out locally, the Cayman Islands’ Doppler weather radar station will truly be an international effort, reflecting the project’s global significance.

The contract to manufacture, supply and install the digital radar itself was awarded to SELEX Systems Integration, based in Germany, while another German firm ICON-INSTITUTE won the bid to provide a Technical Assistant (TA), on contract, for the duration of the project. Reporting to the Cayman Islands Airports Authority (CIAA), the Technical Assistant is responsible for ensuring that all financial and procedural activities of the project are in accordance with the requirements of the European Union (EU) – the scheme’s primary sponsor.

The project’s lead agency, the CIAA, has also recently published a Request for Proposals locally for the construction of the four-storey concrete tower that will house the radar on part of the former Prison Farm in East End.

“It is anticipated that the construction tender will be awarded in December and the tower should be completed by July next year, to coincide with the radar’s arrival. The final phase will be the set-up of equipment within the building and staff training,” the CIAA’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Jackson, explained.

“The long-awaited facility will not only benefit the public and airlines by providing accurate weather information to forecasters and pilots, it will also serve the entire region by filling a black hole in terms of regional radar coverage,” Mr. Jackson added.

Minister for District Administration, Works, Land and Agriculture the Hon. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly also praised the project: “The radar station will no doubt serve the country’s long-term national interest as this

is an invaluable opportunity for the Cayman Islands to become an integrated regional player in respect of hurricane preparedness, through a much more robust regional early warning system, thereby contributing to improved disaster risk management and reduction for the Caribbean.

“Securing the funding for this important resource from the European Union took years of advocating by the Cabinet Office and I thank everyone involved for their ongoing commitment to see this through to completion.”

Minister O’Connor-Connolly added “With increasingly volatile weather we sorely need improved forecasting abilities – something this project will deliver.”

The Doppler radar project got off the ground after the CIAA and the EU signed a contract in March 2009, whereby the EU agreed to provide Cayman with a grant for €4.16 million (about CI$4.6 million) to construct the early warning weather radar. The Cayman Islands Government is making its own contribution to the project by providing the site, the access road, and funding a technical consultancy service from the Caribbean Meteorological Organization.

“Apart from giving Cayman access to real-time local weather information, the radar station will also strengthen regional severe

weather forecasting, linking with radar stations in Belize, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago,” Cayman Islands National Weather Service (CINWS) Director General, Fred Sambula, explained.

“This means that Cayman will get more accurate, timely and up-to-date information when storms or any other weather systems threaten our area, and, as such, our residents can better prepare,” he noted.

It was a fun evening last Tuesday (15) at the Prospect Playhouse when the premier of the Indie film “Duppies” was shown. Phil Eckstein, an award winning screenplay writer, was on hand to greet the fifty plus enthusiastic audience members who attended the showing. The Playhouse is an intimate theatre and the venue was the perfect venue for this piece of history.

Phil wrote the screenplay, financed it, directed it, edited it and was also one of the camera hands. Wow! This really was a lesson in love. His wife Mary was the makeup artist.

Phil appeared on stage just before the showing to welcome everybody and explain this was a low budget movie costing just over $2,000 and he would help anyone who wanted to imitate his route in producing an independent film. He introduced some of the actors who were in the audience and thanked all the people who had been involved in the production.

The lights went down, we all applauded and the feature film began. We were treated to many familiar landmarks: a car rental agency near the Owen Roberts Airport and Rum Point. Most of the action took place in a North Side home that was supposedly old but looked as if it had had a recent major makeover.

The story involved a young couple that had just moved to Grand Cayman and wanted to start a family. They buy the aforementioned home from a realtor who was sinister by what he didn’t say about the house. Pauses and strange looks that we saw but the

young couple were oblivious to. There was a locked door leading to……? The realtor didn’t know nor where the key was but he would obtain it.

With just a few doubts from the male partner our loving couple buy the property and settle down to a life of wedded bliss. Then the trouble starts quickly. Noises. Faces appearing and disappearing. Shadows. Cold spots. The Realtor cannot be located. No one knows who he is. They force the lock on the shut door and find there is a staircase. Not your normal rickety and creaking one full of cobwebs and scurrying rats. This one is modern with a nice carpet and leads to another room upstairs. Our couple bought a house not knowing it was two storey. They were so in love it didn’t matter. Sinister messages on walls telling them to leave and voices are heard. Weird dreams and a young girl keeps appearing.

Investigations reveal that previous owners of the property had all disappeared. A few unsolved murders

and a doctor comes to the house telling the couple the house was built on land that had a strange past. A curse had been placed on the property because it should never have been built on this plot of land. The builder did not heed the warnings.

Duppy sightings. The doctor is ordered out of the house by the young man and we see the doctor driving off nervously, almost in terror. He eventually has a heart attack in his office and an RCIPS inspector suspects foul play. He even calls the couple about it and after speaking with them tells a female officer, “The man knows something.”

Our happy couple are not happy anymore and start arguing. We witness their first row. They make up and decide to leave as, at last, they realise the house is a home for duppies who don’t want them there. Our two heroes realise they had better leave as something unpleasant is going to happen to them. But they can’t. All the doors are now locked. There is no escape. In their terror they do not realise that perhaps breaking a window might help. Perhaps calling for help via their cell phone might be a way out of their predicament. They hold each other tight and await their fate.

The almost hour long movie was entertaining. There were many holes in the storyline that would have sunk the Titanic sooner. There were irritating jerky edits complete with lighting contrasts. Sound was a little difficult in places. Long gaps were evident between the speeches of the actors. Little back story and almost no character development. Several camera angles and shots were poor with heads missing whilst they spoke. I would have liked a lot more emotion from the two leads. However, it was made for a bargain basement price and that is very commendable if not incredible.

Mr. Eckstein needs congratulations for making a full length movie on such a budget. With some tighter edits he could still make the film look better. “Duppies” is well worth viewing.

Martin Johnson has quit as England team manager following last month’s World Cup disaster.

The 41-year-old leaves his position after three and a half years at the helm which culminated in a shambolic campaign in New Zealand.

England crashed out in the quarter-finals to France but their tournament was marred by off-field incidents including a boozy night out in Queenstown.

Jonno won 84 caps for England as a player and led his side to their historic win in the 2003 World Cup.

He took over as England manager in July 2008 and won 21 of his 38 games in charge.

England won the Six Nations earlier this year but it will be their performance and antics in the World Cup that will define Johnson’s reign.

After beating Argentina in their opening group game, a group of England players including former captain Mike Tindall made headlines after visiting a ‘dwarf-throwing’ night at the Altitude Bar in Queenstown.

Johnson immediately defended Tindall after the story broke but the player later admitted to misleading management about the events of the evening.

After an internal investigation by the RFU, Tindall was fined £25,000 and axed from England’s elite player squad for his conduct on the night which he has already said he will appeal.

But England’s players continued to cause controversy off the field with Chris Ashton, James Haskell and Dylan Hartley alleged to have made offensive comments to a hotel worker in Dunedin.

Ashton and Haskell were given suspended fines of £5,000 last week and warned about their future conduct.

On the pitch England progressed to the quarter-finals after wins against Argentina, Georgia, Romania and Scotland in their group.

But they were dumped out of the tournament by eventual finalists France with a disappointing 19-12 defeat.

Johnson’s decision to leave comes a day before a wide-ranging review into the team’s World Cup campaign takes place.

Among the potential candidates to succeed Jonno are Graham Henry, who led New Zealand to World Cup glory, and Jim Mallinder

the Northampton coach.It is not yet known if Johnson’s scrum coach

Graham Rowntree and defence coach Mike Ford will keep their jobs but a new manager is likely to want his own coaching staff.

Former England captain Will Carling posted on Twitter: “Sad for MJ. The man was an awesome player, incredible captain. One of THE greatest England players/ servants. Hope there is a role for him.”

Ex-England centre Jeremy Guscott said: “Martin Johnson is arguably the greatest player England have ever had, certainly on results, and in no way will what he has done as a coach reflect on him as a player.”

Johnson quits as England manager

NHL GMs discuss goaltender safety TORONTO (AP) — The next player to hammer a goaltender outside the crease isn’t likely to get off as easily as Milan Lucic.

A discussion among the league’s 30 general managers Tuesday produced a strong consensus that goalies need to be better protected — even when they stray from their own goal to play the puck. That’s exactly what Buffalo’s Ryan Miller was doing on Saturday night when he was hit by Lucic and was left with a concussion.

The Sabres were outraged that the only

punishment given to the Boston Bruins’ forward on the play was a two-minute minor for charging. But Buffalo GM Darcy Regier left Tuesday’s meeting believing that the next offender would be dealt with more harshly.

“Based on our conversations in the room, I personally believe (he) would be,” Regier said.

NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan spoke with Lucic on Monday but decided against suspending him because he didn’t feel that he had the latitude under the current rules

to do it. The Bruins’ forward claimed not to have run into Miller on purpose.

After learning Tuesday that roughly two-thirds of GMs would have preferred to see a suspension in the case, Shanahan acknowledged that his mandate had been altered.

“I think there’s certainly a very heightened sensitivity to the goalies and the future of all the goalies in this league,” he said. “Certainly they’re not fair game. I think that players have to understand that.“

US offense awakens in 3-2 win at Slovenia(AP) — In the fog at Stozice Stadium, the U.S. offense became visible for the first time since Jurgen Klinsmann became coach.On a night when the Americans

celebrated captain Carlos Bocanegra’s 100th international appearance, Edson Buddle, Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore all scored Tuesday to give the United States a 3-2 victory over Slovenia in Ljubljana.“We have a three-month break

until our next game, so to get the win tonight was the biggest thing for us,” said Bocanegra, who became the 12th American to reach the century mark. “It wasn’t the prettiest game we’ve played, but the result was what we were looking for.”Klinsmann switched to a 4-4-

2 formation, starting two true forwards for the first time in his seven matches. The change led to far more scoring chances on a 36-degree night with fog coming off the Alps.

Cayman bounces back

The Cayman team has responded positively to the task in the Challenge Trophy tournament by producing an outstanding display with bat and ball on Sunday at the Smith Road Oval.

Being led for the first time by Ronald Ebanks in the absence of national captain Abali Hoilett, Cayman batting first against Barbados totaled 173 for 2 with Sacha De Alwis 83n.o and Steve Gordon 43n.o. De Alwis was brilliant scoring

runs all-round the wicket while Gordon displayed a sublime touch caressing the ball across the Smith Road Oval.

Although Pearson Best 57 runs drew on his vast experience, the Barbados team had no answer to the Cayman Islands bowling and they were limited to 135 for 8 wickets. Cayman won by 38 runs.

In the other matches, Jamaica and Guyana won against India and British & Irish Lions respectively.
