Cayman Islands News, Articles and InformationPort Arthur can't get enough of Cayman loveIt's summer time and love is in the air again, this time it's two distant 'lovers' rekindling their relationship of over 100 years.Port Arthur in Beaumont, which is about 90 miles east of Houston in Texas, United States, had a dinner date with the Cayman Islands last weekend. Popular Cayman entertainer the Barefoot Man represented the Island in last Saturday's Cayman Night event at the Carl Center at Lamar State College. The Outriggers Band featuring Bob Brammer and KO Harlow complemented the Barefoot Man's performance in Cayman Night - an annual fixture in the small Texas town. Beaumont is home to 114,000 people including hundreds of Caymanians from all three Islands that have settled there over the last century. According to the organisers, the locals did not have to make the trip to the Islands to taste Cayman music, food and other festivities, which has been part of Port Arthur's tradition. New staff member at West End POAfter five weeks of training on Grand Cayman, Tisa Dixon has returned to Cayman Brac to take up her post as Senior Postal Officer at the West End Post Office.As part of her training, Ms Dixon worked at both the General Post Office and the Airport Post Office learning various postal procedures and regulations, according to information supplied by the Cayman Islands Postal Service. Her duties in her new position will include putting out mail, working with customers, Registered Mail and parcel post.

"I like the challenge and the different things that my position entails. Barracuda Bonanza gets families out fishing"Get hooked on fishing, not on drugs!" is the theme of the annual Barracuda Bonanza, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cayman Brac.Thirty-one children were registered to enter this year's tournament, though the threat of bad weather kept six of them away, and twenty-five in all grabbed rod and reel and headed off to catch some barracuda. Eight-year-old Martha Rivers hauled up a fourteen and a half pounder, fishing from Scotts Dock in the West End, to win the heaviest fish caught by a child. Her barracuda was almost three pounds heavier than that caught by the first place winner in the Boys category, Kodie Scott, who, like most other anglers, took to the sea to catch his 11.8 lb fish. Kodie won three prizes in all, also taking a first for the most fish (twenty in all) and the heaviest total weight (156.7 lbs). Comic Reviews: An icon returns!Jor-El (Brando) is trying to convince them that the planet will go ka-boom in thirty days or less. Of course no one believes him. The Krypton sequence ends with the planet being destroyed and baby Kal-El loaded up into his crystal spaceship and sent to Earth. In Book 1, that entire sequence is reproduced lovingly for the printed page. And it takes up pretty much the entire book. However, what makes it good is the subtle embellishments the creative team led by Singer made to the entire Kryptonian sequence. Youve got the dialogue from the Donner movie, but the creative team have also added more stuff that heighten the emotional bits of this part of the Superman mythos. While it doesnt hit the emotional punch that the Krypton sequence in Superman: Birthright has, it still provides an excellent foundation for readers to connect with the characters in the upcoming movie.Digicel Sights Mobile Content Growth in Caribbean MarketKINGSTON, JAMAICA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 30, 2006 -- Digicel, the fastest growing mobile provider in the Caribbean, predicts a growing market for mobile content in the region as penetration of cutting-edge handsets continues to increase among its customers.

As Caribbean nations continue to advance technologically, fans across the region are swiftly beginning to interact with sports content on their mobile phones.

Economic Crime Survey will shock says ChamberCayman Islands Chamber of Commerce President, Morgan DaCosta, has warned that the findings of a fraud, embezzlement, asset misappropriation, and corruption-levels report on Cayman will surprise many people because of the insight the report provides into the magnitude of financial fraud committed among Cayman residents. The 40-page report is called an Economic Crime Survey and, according to Mr Morgan, is the first of its kind for the Cayman Islands. The Chamber will go public with the report this month and reveal the estimated costs associated with financial crime here. What is compelling is the estimated cost that businesses spent to prevent and combat the problem, said Mr DaCostsa, previewing another aspect of the report at a special Chamber of Commerce lunch last week at the Wharf Restaurant focusing on crime. |
