Cayman Islands News, Articles and InformationDARE is a positive programmeI live in the US and have close family ties in the Caymans so read your newspaper to keep up with what's happening there. I felt the need to write following comments published in last Friday's (9 June) Bracker editorial about the DARE program on Cayman Brac. I've knowledge of the DARE program both in the US and the Cayman Islands by my son & kids of friends & family taking part in it.Its a very positive thing and everyone I know who have had children take part feel the same way. It is saddening to read the editorial. I'm referring to the long list of negative remarks made concerning the DARE program and the efforts by the RCIPS to bring it to our children. I have one question: if the DARE program is trash as you believe then tell us, what is your alternative solution? Oh, I'm sorry, it is clear you don't have one, otherwise you'd have suggested it. READERS' CHOICERob Sevart, general manager of Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, has reached a compromise with his wife and three children about working during vacation. During that time, Sevart uses his Blackberry personal digital assistant to communicate with colleagues and deal with situations. "It makes me feel better," Sevart said. "They (wife Michele and their three children) know my comfort and relaxation for the day is going to be improved." Zudi Karagjozi, founder and president of Kara Homes Inc. in East Brunswick, said he does not disconnect from work during vacations as much as he would like, but sometimes he manages to do it. "I have gone on vacations where I have literally shut it down, which is great," he said.
How the fish on your plate makes you an accessory to crime at seaCOD set for British dinner plates has become the latest commodity to be plundered by mafia-style criminal gangs using consumers as accessories in a growing deep-sea crime.Norwegian authorities have given warning that illegal cod is being sold throughout Britain, from local fish and chip shops to supermarkets. As much as 50 per cent of the cod consignments arriving in Britain could be illegal. The scam involves Russian-owned trawlers which operate from the northern port of Murmansk ignoring strict quotas on fishing of cod, red fish and halibut in the Barents Sea. .
Opinion: Brac museum needs more innovationThe Brac Museum recently celebrated the annual International Museum Day, which presented a wonderful opportunity to promote the heritage and traditions of this Island that was not fully explored.The Family Fun Day for this occasion, though meticulously organized, included few attractions with real historical significance. Various VIPs talked about the artifacts in the museum and their importance to our heritage, though outside the museum, there was little history on display other than the costume parade and the Kitchen Band. People were invited to view the relics inside the Brac Museum, but a museum is much more than a bunch of artifacts. Children, the custodians of our future, often find it hard to relate to these alone. At living museums in other parts of the world, there are plays, live performers re-enacting events, interactive displays, and videos - all of it aimed at bringing history alive. Tragedy brings importance of safety to the forefrontAs was documented in Sunday's edition of The Sun News, Smith had a nightmarish first-hand experience with a boating accident on May 17 when Super Suds II capsized while returning from a Gulf Stream trolling trip out of Murrells Inlet.Smith is a true hero for helping four of the seven men aboard survive. The 12-year first mate for the late Capt. Bob Clarke aboard Super Suds II calmed the four West Virginia residents, then repeatedly dove below the overturned boat to retrieve life jackets and the anchor rope. Smith gave the men the life jackets and rigged the rope as a means for all five to stay on the slick bottom of the boat. Give Clarke credit for saving the fifth passenger's life when the pair drifted away from the boat after all seven men were washed off by a wave.
