The Romanians of Cayman
A well written article. The interviewer did a nice job of getting their subjects to describe Romania through what they like the best and miss the most about their country. - George Vitta


Editorial: Olympians feted by few, but paid for by all
The Caymanian Way you speak of is long gone. This is simply a reality check. Thirty years ago at a cocktail party I overheard a paper Caymanian say his vision is that “Caymanians will become an elite minority.” I didn’t object to what he said at the time because I thought he meant all of us. Now I realize he was only referring to a privileged few. Those Olympians were obviously not related to that privileged 1percent. - George Samuels


Letter: Give Cayman back to Caymanians
• Ms Seger, There is such a thing called progress. We can't go on living in the past recalling how wonderful everything was in the past. Guess what, I didn't have to lock my door in Stockholm either twenty years ago. It's the same story wherever you turn. And are you not an expat yourself? Are you planning to give your house back to Caymanians? No, it's time to move on. We can't turn the clock back but we can all work together and respect each other. - Michaela Pultr

• The movie that was shown here called "Haven" have caused a big stir here with the Caymanians that live in the USA, that has friends who seen it, now they have a different view of Cayman. They think Cayman is all about crime and drugs, and say they will not take their families for vacation here. If you could send me your e-mail address I will send some of the comments to you. - Norma Serrano


Driftwood Beauty
Congratulations, Luelan, on this fabulous work of art. It must have been a real labour of love, but really worthwhile. - Avis Barlow


Letter: A political guru
If one were to look in a dictionary under the word “bloviator”, I’m moderately certain that Mr Smith will be mentioned prominently. He pontificates with the best of them. - Ray Els
