Aruba Library Flooded due to rain? Wait Until you Read the solution.
The Aruban national library in Oranjestad flooded last week and part of the ceiling caved in due to heavy rains. Beginning to sound like the “Big Dig”. Never thought it rained that much in Aruba to cause such an event to occur. The ATA may have to redo their tourism brochures. Wait until you read their solution to the problem. Is this just a microcosm of how all problems are solved in Aruba? A permanent solution, given how long it takes problems to be dealt with one wonders what the definition of “temporary” is?
The situation is dangerous, because the power supply is also affected by the leak. In anticipation of a permanent solution, the books get covered with plastic and the power disconnected when it rains.

Diario Editorial: Natalee’s Case Is Raising Its Head Again! (Aruba: Why not Sue the three Suspects)
Last night Jossy Mansur was interviewed on C-Band Talk radio by Dana Pretzer. Jossy gave his opinions and the mood of Aruba as to the aftermath of the Natalee Holloway civil case being dismissed in NYC and whether the family of Natalee Holloway had a “snowballs chance in Aruba” of ever being dealt with fairly.
This morning Jossy Mansur has a great editorial in Diario, entitled … Natalee’s Case Is Raising Its Head Again!
Diario: Editorial E CASO DI NATALEE LANTANDO CABEZ ATROBE!Â
The completely unequal sums again fired up emotions that in Aruba there is a justice of class; that if you are a Dutch person born in the Netherlands, all doors are open to you, but if you are a Dutch born in Aruba or in whichever other island, doors are hermetically sealed in the passageways of justice! Fair or not, those thoughts are still alive, instead of disappearing together with the colonial era that is behind us.
Jossy Mansur brings up some very compelling facts that Joran Van der Sloot stated during his interrogations. Ones that clearly show that it is hard to believe that they came from a boy who lied because he was scared.
In an interesting twist, Jossy Mansur brings up unique questions and poses in to the Aruba Government … why don’t you file a case against the three suspects and Paulus van der Sloot for all the damage that they caused Aruba?

Woman had 50 kilos of cocaine into Canada: Its in the Shoes
 A Montreal woman and three children traveling with her were busted while trying to smuggle in cocaine into Canada with a street value of about $7 million. The cocaine was found stashed in luggage, largely in the soles of shoes and sandals. As they say … “Its in the shoes”.
A Montreal woman is in jail and the three young children traveling with her are in the care of Children’s Aid after she was arrested at Pearson airport for allegedly trying to smuggle 50 kilos of cocaine.
“This is probably our largest cocaine seizure this year,” said Patrizia Giolti of the Canada Border Services Agency.
