Calling for changes to the way government obtains goods and services, Premier McKeeva Bush on Friday said he didn’t care if “Martians” got the job done, as long as it was achieved. “I am answerable as Minister of Finance,” he said, referring specifically to the loosely constructed systems that enabled
him to negotiate a $155 million loan, later cancelled, from New York financier Cohen & Company in Oct 2010. “I want to be at arm’s length, though,” he told a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing, answering a question from Chairman and Sister Islands MLA Moses Kirkconnell, who asked who should lead the changes. “It could be Martians doing it, I
don’t care. But the Cabinet should take the lead,” he told the fivemember committee. Mr Bush was on the stand at the Legislative Assembly Friday morning, defending himself against allegations in an August Auditor General report that he had badly managed the loan facility, lost money and bypassed recommendations of the Central Tenders Committee (CTC).

Cayman Prep Harvest Festival
Christopher Tobutt
christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
The hall was filled with reds, yellows, and rich, golden browns – all the colours of autumn, as students at the Primary site of Cayman Prep and High School celebrated Harvest Festival. Cardboard boxes of ripe fruit, vegetables, and tinned foods piled high alongside the children’s artwork made a spectacular display, as the children filed into the hall for a special Harvest Festival assembly. Principal of the school Mr. Brian Wilson began the assembly by thanking the children for their “lovely boxes.” Then the children led the assembly, taking it in turns to come to the microphone, and one invited the children to “reflect on all the blessings” that God had provided them with. “Welcome to our harvest festival celebration. Today we give thanks to God for our food,” a young girl said. The school’s String Ensemble, followed by the choir led the children in some songs and hymns, including Light up the Fire. “Let us sit for a moment in silence reflecting on all the good gifts that God has given us,” another child suggested. The service turned out to be a real blessing for others too, as representatives from the Department of Children and Family Services were present to receive the boxes with a large van parked outside the hall, and to distribute them to needy families. Debbie Webb-Sibblies, Research and Programme Development manager in the Department of Children and Family Services said: “Thank you boys and girls for your wonderful donations. They would distribute to needy families with young children, and some also to elderly people in the community”, she explained. Reverend Rohan Forester, of the Webster Memorial Church blessed the boxes. The service finished with the traditional Harvest Festival hymn, “We Plough the Fields and Scatter.” At the end of the assembly, Year 6 pupils helped to carry the beautifully decorated boxes of food out to the awaiting truck where they were carefully loaded, ready to pass on the blessing to others. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

NHDT operations not affected by investigation
The National Housing Development Trust (NHDT) continues to operate as usual, and the administrative functions have not been impeded, following the recent announcement of a Royal Cayman Islands Police Service investigation into a board member. General Manager Janet James said, “There are no accusations relating to the operational or financial aspects of the NHDT. Our offices are open as usual, and we are cooperating fully with the authorities.” She added that the RCIPS investigation has not impacted the NHDT’s service to its clients and the public. Established in 2003, the government-owned entity currently has over 800 applicants (and 75 families already in homes) in the Affordable Homeowners initiative; there are 311 homeowners who have benefitted from the GovernmentGuaranteed Housing Assistance Mortgages; and six families that are benefitting from the Build on Your Own Property initiative. The West Bay and East End housing programmes are continuing, while the ongoing Windsor Park redevelopment is scheduled to be completed within three months, and Bodden Town project is set to commence this year.

Premier calls for procurement changes Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Continued from front page Quoting at length from an Attorney General summary of the powers of the Minister of Finance, Mr Bush, who holds not only that portfolio, but also that of Tourism and Development, said he was largely empowered to make almost any decision – “to borrow, to make loans, to offer guarantees, to make any fiscal arrangements” -- provided he gained Cabinet approval, acted in the national interest and sought to reduce the adverse impact of fluctuations in financial markets. “While a decision not to proceed can result in legal exposure,” he said of the abrogated Cohen agreement, “if it’s done for credible reasons, Cabinet can legally abandon the process.” In July last year, in the face of significant deficits, government called for bids to provide a $155 million loan. The Ministry of Finance and the Central Tenders Committee approved a joint tender from FirstCaribbean International Bank and the Royal Bank of Canada, long-time financial resources for the Cayman Islands.

“At no time,” Mr Bush said, “had I any dealings with the chairman or any member of the Central Tenders Committee, nor did I attend or attempt to attend any meetings of the CTC. Neither did I at any time attempt to, or gave any instructions to a member of the CTC. Nor did I attempt to give advice, instruct, or to influence, any member of any technical committee of the Finance Department,” Mr Bush told the PAC, saying that Financial Secretary Kenneth Jefferson was his “principal adviser” and point of contact in such matters. He did say, however, that he had been “warned by senior civil servants about the way the CTC was being managed and the way contracts were being awarded, that this country was not getting value for money. “Far too often”, he said, “certain companies get the business and small businesses are pushed out.” Treasurer of Mr Bush’s United Democratic Party (UDP), Peter Young, named by the Auditor General as the agent for the Cohen loan, had attended the party’s general council meeting, the premier said, “and asked if he should get Cohen to submit a proposal.” Mr Bush agreed, he said, but “never had any discussion with him afterwards. He is not my adviser, either to the Minister of Finance, to the premier or to the Department of Finance.” He lashed out at “scandal mongers”, and blamed media accusations of “wrong and nefarious”

deeds, and scolded Auditor General Alastair Swarbrick for poor “phraseology”. “The Auditor General has to be careful with phraseology. I thought that with the departure of that last cowboy, it would be a little better,” he said, a scathing reference to former Auditor General Dan Duguay, who frequently questioned Mr Bush’s spending decisions, and whose contract was not renewed in 2009. “I don’t appreciate that phraseology. He [Mr Swarbrick] doesn’t even call me ‘Mr’,” the premier said. “It’s totally unfair for people to get smeared before they can defend themselves.” Nonetheless, he called for broad changes to procurement procedures, saying he hoped to employ more accountants and economists to keep him apprised of spending decisions and account balances, and that tighter structures should better monitor the solicitation of goods and services. Calling for further audits of the opposition People’s Progressive Movement (PPM), Mr Bush cited “a whole list” of studies that, he said “needed to be done,” not limited to scrutiny of the PPM’s abortive construction of the Frank Sound and John Gray high schools. “I would just like to say that there are a number of outstanding audits from the previous government that need to be done,” Mr Bush said. “There is whole list from the last six years, and not just the schools alone of spending decisions.”

Nuffy dedicates single to Kartel KINGSTON (AP) - Controversial MC Nuffy has recorded a single dedicated to the incarcerated self- proclaimed dancehall hero Vybz Kartel. According to Nuffy, Vybz Kartel is innocent until proven otherwise.
The song is called Muss Come A Road, and is produced by Feather Weight Records on the Gripe Water rhythm, which is soon to be released. The MC/artiste says that he is a loyal Gaza fan, and he won’t switch like many have done since his incarceration. “Some people are wagonists, I’m a loyal person and Vybz Kartel is a good artiste, and I wouldn’t want to see a good talent wasted. Some people just act like they are with you and when trouble tek yuh they disappear,” he said. In the song, which is sure to cause some amount of controversy, Nuffy sings, ‘Muss come a road Teacha, mi a duh deh one ya fi Adidja, to all a di gangsta wey nuh love informa, push up uno han because uno still sey Gaza. Mi si sey dem a try sell out di Empire, charge him fi diss, charge him fi dat ... mi si di ‘Teacher’s Pet’ reigning, him lawyer big suh more crime them claiming, mi swear pon mi heart a frame dem a frame him.’

Floodwaters seep into outer Bangkok as canals open BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s prime minister urged Bangkok residents to get ready to move their belongings to higher ground Friday as the country’s worst floods in half a century began seeping into the capital’s outer districts. The government has opened several key floodgates in a risky move to let built-up water flow through the canals toward the sea, and it’s not known how much the canals will overflow. An Associated Press team Friday saw water entering homes in Bangkok’s northern Lak Si district, along the capital’s main Prapa canal. The water rose to knee-level in some
places but damage so far was minor and not affecting Bangkok’s main business district. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra told reporters the Prapa canal was a big concern. “I would like to ask people in all districts of Bangkok to get ready to move their belongings to higher ground as a precaution,” Yingluck said, while also urging people “not to panic.” Yingluck invoked her powers under the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act giving her overriding authority over all other official bodies, including local governments, to fight the crisis.
The action should allow better coordination with the municipal authorities in Bangkok, who normally have legal authority to make their own decisions. It also helps project Yingluck as a take-charge leader, after weeks of seeming indecision and confusion.
Irish dissident convicted in MI5 weapons sting VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — A Lithuanian judge found an Irish man guilty Friday of trying to buy weapons and explosives in a six-year sting orchestrated by Britain’s domestic spy agency MI5 — a case that drew attention to a hardcore Irish Republican Army splinter group’s plans to spread terror to London. Judge Arunas Kisielus of the Vilnius Regional Court sentenced Michael Campbell — a 39-year-old with alleged links to the Real IRA group — to 12 years in prison for weapons offenses and supporting a terrorist group. Video footage and intercepted communications showed that Campbell
paid some euro6,000 (about $8,300) for high-grade explosives, grenade launchers, detonators, AK-47s and a special assassin’s rifle to Lithuanian agents posing as arms dealers. In an audio recording, he is heard discussing how easy it would be with the type of equipment on offer to plant a bomb in London and escape. “You can imagine us getting over to England ... You imagine, with a sixhour timer, we could be over to London and back,” Campbell says in an audio clip after mulling over a price list for explosives and detonators. “Just tick, tick, tick, tick ... gone. Kisielius sentenced Campbell to five
years for weapons possession, six years for attempting to smuggle weaponry and explosives, and 12 years for supporting a terrorist group.
Jackson doc’s defense to finally question expert LOS ANGELES (AP) — For several moments, the milky white substance that authorities say killed Michael Jackson dripped down into an IV line a few feet away from jurors. Sometimes the drops fell fast, until their rate was slowed by the Columbia University researcher and professor who for three days has testified about the drug and its effects on the King of Pop as he died. The demonstration, with the anesthetic propofol dripping harmlessly into a water bottle, was one of the final scenes prosecutors presented Thursday to jurors hearing the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
On Friday, Murray’s lead attorney will finally get his chance to question the expertise and assumptions laid out by Dr. Steven Shafer, the prosecution’s final and one of its most important witnesses. The Houston-based cardiologist has pleaded not guilty. After days of testimony and demonstrating the type of IV drip that was likely present in Jackson’s bedroom in his final hours, Shafer bluntly responded to a question about Murray’s culpability. “He has been entrusted by Michael Jackson to look after his safety every night and he has failed,” Shafer said. Sitting in the courtroom, watching
and listening to it all was Shafer’s former teacher and longtime colleague, Dr. Paul White, who will testify for the defense.

New Year’s Eve
Here we are once again afraid to make a decision colin.wilson@ieyenews.com now, when it matters most, on whether to extend the liquor licencing closing laws on New Year’s Eve. You see, New Year’s Eve this year falls on a Saturday and we will be going into Sunday. Oh my. On a Saturday bars have to close at 11:30pm with everyone off the premises before midnight. It’s not as if this is the first time it has happened. The last time was in 2005 and there was a huge protest from not only the bars and restaurants, but the majority of the public. It is not as if extending the closing time into Sunday has never happened before. Chairman of the Liquor Licencing Board, Mitchell Welds says he is thinking about (it). But the board doesn’t meet until December and he will have some information for the licensed premises owners then. Hallo, Mr. Welds. Isn’t that a bit late? Haven’t you had rather a long time to think about this? Nearly SIX YEARS!! Reno Mancini, manager of The Wharf, said he has been asking the Board since April. He has talked to the premier but Hon. McKeeva Bush said he hadn’t made a decision. Hallo, Mr. Bush. We are in a recession. Tourists aren’t coming here in the droves they were. The service and tourism businesses need all the help

Your Views
they can get. This indecision is costing money now. When the utterly ridiculous decision taken six years ago not to extend caused cries of disbelief not only here but over the world, Mr. Bush, you even said it was silly. Hallo legislators. If a decision is taken this year – IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. Oh, and AGAIN …… and AGAIN? Hallo, don’t we rely on tourism? Don’t our businesses want help? For Heavens sake lets have some leadership and make some decisions now. This one is an easy one. Or is your decision going to be “No” and you don’t want weeks and weeks of complaints? Are you afraid our churches are going to be in uproar at allowing drinking an hour into our day of worship? Are you afraid of being excommunicated? Well, I am a regular churchgoer. I actually hold a licensed position at my church. I don’t think I will be excommunicated for this editorial. It doesn’t change my religious views. I was at church this morning (19) worshipping and it is a non-religious day. I pray that a decision will come soon. I pray it is the most sensible one. I repeat, we have had Saturday’s extensions before on much lesser occasions than New Year’s Eve. Wasn’t one granted for some singer last year at a Government sponsored jazz festival? Did that take six years to make the decision?

Bully guards at Fairbanks
iThought
loves iNews. The investigative report of the incident, concerning a search of three 18 year old female prisoners at Fairbanks on the 4th December 2010, during a hunt for a cellphone was well covered and there was little we could add to it. We will most certainly be contacting H.E. Governor Duncan Taylor for an update and inquiring if any disciplinary action has or will be taken against the officers concerned in the search. If it is true that the way the search was executed (by two
officers lifting an inmate up, taking her naked out of the showers, putting her on the ground, one officer on her head whilst another on her body and another “going through my parts – you could say”) was in retaliation for writing a letter of complaint against ‘lazy’ officers and certain prison rules, then something is seriously wrong at the Fairbanks facility. At your suggestion we will be executing our own investigation. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Olympus lose $687m in rouge CI account Diana Willington diana.willington@ieyenews.com
Olympus has defended paying $687m to financial advisers but refused to comment on its former CEO’s claims that the cash was channelled to ‘unknown parties in the Cayman Islands’. Asked why Olympus paid such a high fee in relation to its buy-out of medical equipment firm Gyrus in 2008, Olympus’ Tokyo spokesman Ayako Nagami said this morning: ‘The amount paid to the adviser has been approved by a third-party firm.’ Yesterday, ousted CEO Michael Woodford repeated his claims of financial wrongdoing after Olympus admitted it had paid advisers $687m - an amount Woodford questioned with Olympus management before he was fired. Japanese camera giant Olympus will set up an independent panel to review previous takeovers after its sacked chief executive has raised questions about the “improper payments”.
iCommunity
In a stock exchange announcement in Tokyo, Olympus confirmed that it would set up an “independent committee consisting of experts including lawyers and accountants” to investigate previous merger and acquisition deals. Following his allegations, the share price of Olympus plunged by almost 50 per cent and some of its biggest shareholders, including Nippon Life and Harris Associates, demanded answers. A former Wall Street banker of Japanese descent has emerged as a key figure in the scandal, according to documents provided by the firm’s ex-CEO. The veteran banker, Hajime ‘Jim’ Sagawa, owned an obscure U.S. financial firm which was hired by the endoscope-maker five years ago to provide what later turned out to be stunningly expensive advice, a fee of $687 million, the documents show. Former Olympus CEO Michael Woodford, barely a fortnight into
his tenure in the top job, raised the alarm on the huge advisory fee after his sudden sacking last week. The sum was equal to a third of the 2008 takeover deal to which it related -compared with the 1-2 percent bankers usually charge. Woodford, now in the UK, had a copy of an independent inquiry into the fee, which was paid in relation to Olympus’ $2.2 billion takeover of UK medical equipment firm Gyrus. He had commissioned the inquiry from accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) while he was still an executive. PwC has declined to comment on the report, which is marked confidential and carries no date for when it was compiled. Olympus, which denies any wrongdoing over the fee payment, has not given details on the identities of the advisers who earned the fee, other than acknowledging that the fees were paid to two obscure firms, AXES and AXAM Investments.

They were obviously keen to learn all about the police and what we do. They were all very surprised when the helicopter arrived and they got a chance to see it up close.”
“This is just one of many activities planned for the Eastern Districts as part of our ongoing efforts to raise awareness of policing and of how people, young and old, can work with the RCIPS to help keep our communities safe,” added Inspector Richard Harford (pictured with the students). Officers are working with schools in the area to develop an Eastern Districts Junior Police Academy. Further details of that event will be made available in due course.

Representatives from Sagicor will be spending time with the students to support the programme.
Caribbean life insurance company, Sagicor, have displayed some wise judgment and vision by becoming part of a new programme to support students across Grand Cayman starting with George Town Primary. Approximately 300 students of the George Town Primary School will benefit from a year long commitment from Sagicor Life of the Cayman Islands valued at US$15,000. The partnership, through the new Adopt-a-School programme launched on the grounds of George Town Primary on Wednesday October 19 is a landmark initiative that will support sports and education programmes at the institution. The programme is earmarked to be the first of many, which will see Sagicor eventually support every school on the Cayman Islands for a year at a time. The Hon. McKeeva Bush, Premier of the Cayman Islands applauds the initiative. “I find the Adopta-School programme especially appealing because Sagicor is not only giving financial assistance to the school for the purchase of computers and sporting equipment, but it is also getting its employees involved in mentoring the students and volunteering to participate in school activities,” he said. Principal of George Town Primary
School, Marie Martin, welcomed the programme and looked forward to a long association with Sagicor in the future, “Long after this year, I hope to still be hearing from Sagicor and that today is the beginning of a long relationship that will benefit the children of this school. It is a great social responsibility on their part and a wonderful example that doing the right thing has great rewards.” “I am looking forward to working closely with Sagicor to reinforce the positive and support our students. Our community, our country and our world would be a better place if there were more schemes such as this.” said Ms. Martin. The programme, whilst providing monetary support will also see employees of Sagicor Life spending time with the students and engaging in activities within the school. Michael Fraser, President & CEO Sagicor Life of the Cayman Islands believes the initiative is timely and demonstrates the company’s commitment to the country. “The children are our future, and it is on that premise that we pledge selfless and devoted involvement in their lives. We are very excited about spending time with this school for the next year and look forward to doing wonderful things,” he said.

Directions for gravy • Empty the juices from the foil into the roasting pan, then tilt the pan slightly; spoon off most of the fat into a bowl and discard, leaving the juices in the pan. • Place the pan over medium heat on the stove top and, when the juices start to bubble, sprinkle in the flour and, using a wooden spoon, work it into a smooth paste; cook for a minute or so, to brown. • Pour in the wine, and let it bubble. • Gradually add the stock, to make thin gravy. • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Potential trouble for Cayman and the Caribbean next week
PANTONE 295 C
LITTLE SPROUT GREEN

Colin Wilson colin.wilson@ieyenews.com
Rob Lightbown of Crown Weather warns of potential tropical troubles over the next week. The various model guidance forecast have differing views: The GFS model starts to spin up this low pressure system in the southwestern Caribbean during Saturday into Sunday and forecasts it to attain tropical storm strength by Sunday night. After that, the GFS model forecasts this tropical storm to make landfall on the north coast of Honduras on Monday night into Tuesday morning as a strong tropical storm. The GFS model also forecasts the development of a second tropical cyclone in the central Caribbean by about the middle part of next week. This second potential system appears to originate from the deep thunderstorm activity that is now occurring near the coast of Guyana in northeastern South America. The GFS model then forecasts this second system to strengthen into a strong tropical storm or a Category 1 hurricane on Thursday and forecasts it to impact Jamaica and eastern Cuba late next week as a Category 1 hurricane. The Canadian model slowly develops the low pressure system in the southwestern Caribbean this weekend and forecasts it to strengthen to tropical storm strength during Monday as it lifts

northward into the northwestern Caribbean. The Canadian model then forecasts this system to turn to the west and affect the Cayman Islands as a tropical storm on Monday night and the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday as a tropical storm. The UKMET model looks fairly similar to the Canadian model in that it forecasts slow development over the weekend as it pulls northward out of the southwestern Caribbean. As we get into next week, the UKMET model forecasts this potential tropical cyclone to affect the Cayman Islands by Tuesday and western Cuba by Wednesday. The UKMET model also forecasts that barometric pressures will remain low across the entire Caribbean next week potentially supporting the idea of a second tropical cyclone forming later next week in the central and western Caribbean.
The European model is also on board with potential development in the southwestern Caribbean and forecasts this system to start organizing over the weekend and be lifted northward and affect the Cayman Islands and western Cuba once we get into Tuesday and Wednesday. After that, the European model forecasts this system to track northeastward affecting the Florida Straits and south Florida as a hurricane on Thursday and then become absorbed into a large storm system off of the New England coast by next Friday. Rob says he is leaning towards the “system lifting northward and potentially affecting the northwestern Caribbean and potentially south Florida and the Bahamas. With that said, western Caribbean tropical cyclones are notoriously very difficult to forecast and many things may change in the forecast of this potential tropical system over the weekend and into next week.” For the full weather discussion go to Crown Weather Services at www.crownweather.com and to the National Hurricane Center at www.nhc.noaa.gov/.

Tevez faces City charge
MANCHESTER (AP) - Carlos Tevez will not be charged with refusing to play against Bayern Munich but will be charged over refusing to warm up. City manager Roberto Mancini claimed after last month’s UEFA Champions League defeat in Germany that Tevez refused to come on as a substitute, an accusation that was denied by the player. The club suspended him whilst an internal investigation was carried out, and will attend a disciplinary hearing on Friday afternoon when his future at the club could become clearer. Tevez is facing a number of charges and one of those is that he refused to warm up under the instruction of Mancini. But it is understood that no further action will be taken over claims that he refused to come on as a substitute. In the immediate aftermath of the match, Mancini said: “He refused to come onto the pitch. It is a bad situation.” But Tevez refuted that version of events and, speaking through a translator, said: “I didn’t want to warm up because I wasn’t feeling very well, so I thought it was better not to. “I didn’t think I was in a good situation to come on because my head wasn’t in the right place.”

Clash of the Manchester titans Diana Willington

(AP/UK) 2010/11 Goal of the Season: Rooney’s overhead kick against Manchester City.
The Poppy symbolises peace, compassion, and hope. Shortly after World War I it was chosen as a token of remembrance for everyone who has suffered the tragedy of war.

Remembrance Parade and Service Sunday 13th November 2011 11am Elmslie Memorial Church
United host their neighbours City at Old Trafford, with Wayne Rooney scoring a spectacular overhead kick the last time the sides met in the league. It is the same fixture that provided that goal of the season last year, and with both teams flying at the top of the Premier League, the first Manchester derby of 2011/12 is arguably the most-anticipated fixture of the campaign so far. The same result would see City go five points clear of their rivals although the stats are against them - Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have been victorious the last four times the two teams have met at Old Trafford, and City failed to win away at any top-seven opponent last season. A local derby between Chelsea and QPR has not been seen since 1996, although twice the two sides have met in the Carling Cup and the FA Cup in recent times - with Chelsea winning 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on both occasions. More animosity will be shared in Birmingham on Saturday when West Brom make the short journey from the Black Country to Aston Villa. Steve Kean remains at the helm, for now, as Blackburn play Tottenham, who come into the game on the back of a Europa League victory over Rubin Kazan. Arsenal are slowly turning the corner after their woeful start, yet there is still a sense of unease at the Emirates Stadium and when Stoke come to town on Sunday, you can put your house on the Potters not making it easy for the North Londoners. The row involving Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra shows little sign of abating and it will be interesting to see if the Uruguayan is at all affected by off-the-pitch matters when Liverpool welcome Norwich to Anfield. There is no doubt that the surprise package of the season has been Newcastle, and Alan Pardew deserves great credit as his side currently sits fourth in the table. This weekend the Magpies take on struggling Wigan Athletic, who are in a real rut. Bolton and Sunderland have also endured torrid starts and while Wanderers emerged victorious at the DW Stadium last weekend, Owen Coyle will not be happy with the fact that they sit 18th in the table. Everton have lost three games in succession but in fairness to the Toffees those defeats have come against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. They will be looking to take advantage of Fulham’s fatigued Europa League legs on Sunday. Wolves play Swansea in the first kick-off of the weekend on Saturday. Wolves are on a dreadful run having lost their last five league games, while the Swans are beginning to get to grips with the standard required.
