The storm is still on a projected path that would take it significantly east of the Cayman Islands. At this point, we do not anticipate any hurricane-level conditions in Grand Cayman, but we will continue to monitor the storm very close- ly. We are continuing with proactive preparations on campus; the field lights are lowered, the sun- shades are down, and the maintenance staff, EC teachers and others are securing toys and other items on campus. The storm will likely pass to the east of us on Monday and there may be a higher chance of rains on this day. We will watch very closely and let you know via email, website, Cayman 27, and/or CIS emergency phone tree if there are any changes to the school schedule. You should continue to monitor the storm personally, be sure to take any and all precautions with safety in mind, and follow hurricane preparedness recommendations when applicable http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.php . Again, at this point, we do not anticipate any changes in the school schedule for Monday or any other day. Construction & Facilities Update Phase III construction is progressing and is on schedule. The second level of the E Block (above the Science labs) will be complete in Oc- tober and we will occupy the new spaces after the Fall break. The new Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics (STEAM) lab will be a wonderful addition to the school facility and will provide an advanced technological environment for learning. There will be 19 new iMacs in the lab, and the space will house the CIS 3D printers, robotics kits and Maker space equipment. The other side of this addi- tion is the new CIS Band room, and the current Band room will convert to the new CIS choral space. After researching the guidelines for the playground structures in front of the ARC, it has been determined that these structures are in- tended for the use of children ages 5 – 12 years of age. We understand the desire for structures of this type for early childhood students. With this in mind, we will research possibilities for additional equipment that is designed for children ages 2 – 4 that could be eventually approved for the courtyard area. Solutions to provide shading at the pool have been discussed for quite some time. We recently learned that a project cleared the planning department and construction will begin immediately; we are very pleased that these types of enhancements continue to take place. The new structure being built will pro- vide shade to the south side of the pool deck and it will also be covered with solar panels. The first phase of work will entail putting up a chain link fence just off the edge of the pool deck to separate the work area from pool us- ers. As always, efforts are being made to minimize the impact to school pro- gramming as much as possible. DART Landfill Meeting The George Town landfill continues to be a controversial topic. Safety is our number one priority, and we continually make efforts to assemble and understand the most current information regarding the landfill and its potential impacts to the school and Camana Bay. The experts from DART will host an informational meeting at the CIS MPR on October 11 at 5:30pm.

EC is happy to see that children are using these resources after school dismissal, but please be sure to help your children clean up after themselves. We would like for these items to last as long as possible and with your help, we can ensure they do but packing them away or putting them back in their correct place. Thanks for your co-operation. Firemen sing Happy Birthday! Pre-K4 Music and Movement with Ms. Fernanda On Thursday, September 29, CIS had a fire drill. After students went back to their classrooms, the fire men walked into Ms. Dawn’s Kindergarten class right as they were about to sing Hap- py Birthday for Olivia. They decided to join in and as a result of their excellent singing, Olivia gave them a cupcake.

  • Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3779, 20 pp. June 21, 2013 Quaternary Bat Diversity in the Dominican Republic PAÚL M. VELAZCO,1 HANNAH O’NEILL,2 GREGG F. GUNNELL,3 SIOBHÁN B. COOKE,4 RENATO RIMOLI,5 ALFRED L. ROSENBErgER,1, 6 AND NANCY B. SIMMONS1 ABSTRACT The fossil record of bats is extensive in the Caribbean, but few fossils have previously been reported from the Dominican Republic. In this paper, we describe new collections of fossil bats from two flooded caves in the Dominican Republic, and summarize previous finds from the Island of Hispaniola. The new collections were evaluated in the context of extant and fossil faunas of the Greater Antilles to provide information on the evolution of the bat community of Hispaniola. Eleven species were identified within the new collections, including five mormoopids (Mormoops blainvillei, †Mormoops magna, Pteronotus macleayii, P. parnellii, and P. quadridens), five phyllostomids (Brachy- phylla nana, Monophyllus redmani, Phyllonycteris poeyi, Erophylla bombifrons, and Phyllops falcatus), and one natalid (Chilonatalus micropus). All of these species today inhabitant Hispaniola with the exception of †Mormoops magna, an extinct species previously known only from the Quaternary of Cuba, and Pteronotus macleayii, which is currently known only from extant populations in Cuba and Jamaica, although Quaternary fossils have also been recovered in the Bahamas. Differences between the fossil faunas and those known from the island today suggest that dispersal and extirpa- tion events, perhaps linked to climate change or stochastic events such as hurricanes, may have played roles in structuring the modern fauna of Hispaniola. 1 Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Mammalogy), American Museum of Natural History.

  • NT Brac District Committee Objection Report, 17 Dec 2020
    National Trust of the Cayman Islands Report of the Brac District Committee on the Proposed Daggaro Project The Brac District Committee of the National Trust of the Cayman Islands is strongly opposed to the Daggaro project to develop a private Black Hawk helicopter facility in Cayman Brac. The plans to date include a hangar, pad, administrative building, 8-foot security fence, and vehicle and plane access to the existing runway. The proposed location in the island’s West End, directly west of and adjacent to the West End Community Park, is especially sensitive, but more generally the project is not in keeping with the heritage values and natural, social, and cultural environment of Cayman Brac nor will it economically benefit the Brac or the Cayman Islands. The Brac District Committee has a number of objections to the project, which are summarized below. 1. Negative impacts on the natural environment 1.1 In general The proposed site of the Daggaro project would raze the only remaining remnant of tropical dry forest in the Brac’s far West End. In spite of its small area, this long, narrow triangle of intact woods contains a wealth of biodiversity and offers one of Cayman Brac’s main habitats for several significant species, especially the critically endangered Lesser Caymans Rock Iguana. This environmentally fragile remnant of native forest contains a broad, representative sample of plants and trees native to the Cayman Islands. The site also encompasses a small, significant tidal wetland (see West End Turtle Kraal and Nurse Smith Pond and Cave in section 2) that is part of the larger system of wetlands of international significance found in Cayman Brac’s West End.
