Richard Simms is the new DEH Director A familiar face is heading up the Department of Environmental Health (DEH), the Ministry of Health announced today (Tuesday, 4 June 2019).

Newly con�irmed DEH Director Richard Simms, whose appointment took effect on 1 June, has been serving in the role since he was seconded to the agency last summer from his previous position as Director of the Department of Vehicle and Equipment Services.

Minister of Health, Hon. Dwayne Seymour, says he is pleased that the key leadership position will be permanently �illed by someone known to the team and already conversant with Government’s policy direction for the department.

“Our objective is to provide an international standard of waste and sanitation services to the people of the Cayman Islands. Mr Simms has already demonstrated an ability to deliver results and we are happy to have him on board”, the Minister remarks.

Asked what achievements he is most proud of over the last several months at DEH, Mr Simms cites the signi�icant reduction in the Department’s overtime spending by 80 percent over 2017 levels.

He is also happy he says that he has been able to keep garbage collection on schedule, and was also pleased with the results of a memorandum of understanding, signed with Her Majesty’s Cayman Islands Prisons Service, that allowed prisoners to assist with garbage collection.

As he transitions into the permanent position his personal goals will be to continue to strengthen services across all areas of DEH, and, as part of this to increase staff and improve equipment.

The Department is responsible for the collection and disposal of solid waste and as such manages land�ills across all three Cayman Islands. Around

COMMUNITY NOTICES EDITORIAL Voters may soon Health Screening Required for New have their say.

Students Are you ready?

It is now clear that registered voters in the Cayman Islands may have a chance to have an of�icial say on the divisive topic on whether government should move ahead with its plans for the cruise berthing project in George Town.

However, there have been those who have expressed unease at the need for the Supervisor of Elections to verify each signature on the petition. Some have indicated a fear of victimisation but it is understood the process is to ensure everything is legally sound heading into the vote.

Getting the required number of signatures does not automatically mean campaigners have stopped government from moving forward. What happens now is that there will likely be a vote on whether the project should advance. Government, however, will be the ones setting the tone for any such vote. They will determine the exact

wording of the question to be posed at a referendum.

With that explainer out of the way, we return to the right to vote. In prior editorials, we have stressed the importance of registering to have your name on the electoral register. A case like this shows that there is the potential to be called upon to have a say on matters of national importance aside from the four-year election cycle.

The referendum will not only be for those who oppose the project in its current form but for those who are also in support. Both sides have the right to let their vote be counted. Staying away because you don’t agree with the campaigners is the coward’s way out and cheapens the process.

We continue to watch developments and encourage everyone eligible to vote to turn out on Referendum Day and let their voices be heard. Democracy is, after all, not a spectator sport. 

All students entering government or private schools in the Cayman Islands for the �irst time are required to have health screenings this summer.

The screening includes a growth and development assessment, screening for vision and hearing, a dental assessment, the administration of necessary immunisations and obtaining a student’s personal medical history.

Noting that this includes students entering reception programmes, School Health Coordinator Nurse Carvell Bailey adds: “The Education Department mandates that these screenings must be completed before the new school year begins in September.”

Public Health Department staff will conduct the screenings which are free to all students. For those entering schools in West Bay and the Eastern districts, health screenings will take place at the district health centres from 3 to 28 June 2019.

For all other students, health screenings will take place at John Gray High School Medical Centre (nurse’s of�ice) from 4 July to 16 August 2019.

Appointments can be made at the school the child will be attending. Nurse Bailey reminds parents and guardians that they need to accompany their children to the health screening. They should also bring the child’s immunisation record.

“Vaccines will be offered to children whose immunisations are not up-to-date. A health screening certificate will then be issued, which is to be taken to the child’s school,” she explained.

Parents may have their child’s health screenings done by a private doctor, as long as that doctor completes the school health screening forms provided by the Public Health Department.

The completed forms should be handed in at the John Gray High School Medical Centre (nurse’s of�ice) between 4 July and 16 August, from 8.30 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. Outside of these dates, the forms can be taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital’s Public Health Clinic.

Once the record has been received, a health screening certi�icate will be issued which must then be taken to the school that the child will be entering in September.

In Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, appointments for school entry screenings can be made by contacting Public Health Nurse Kedine Hyde at Faith Hospital on 948-2243/2447643.

Detailed information sheets for parents and guardians are available at the schools. For more information, please contact Nurse Carvell Bailey on 2442734 and 244-2648. 

Governor calls for anti-corruption law’s “urgent” implementation

By Lindsey Turnbull

As the Cayman Islands hosts members of the Commonwealth Caribbean’s anti-corruption agencies this week at the 5th Annual CCAICACB Conference, Governor Martyn Roper used his opening address at the conference to call for the urgent implementation of this jurisdiction’s own anti-corruption law, the Standards in Public Life. This law, intended to “to preserve and promote the integrity of public of�icials and institutions; and for incidental and connected purposes”, was �irst passed in 2014 and then amended in 2016, but has not yet been implemented.

Speci�ically, the law deals with how members of the Legislative Assembly, Chief Of�icers and members of Statutory bodies should act with sel�lessness and act solely in terms of the public interest, not doing so in order to gain �inancial or other consideration for themselves, their immediate family or their friends.

They should act with integrity and not

place themselves under any �inancial or other obligation to individuals or organisations outside the relevant civil service entity that might seek to in�luence them in the performance of their of�icial duties. They should also act with objectivity, be accountable, act openly, honestly and show good leadership skills.

The Governor was speaking at the three-day conference being held at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort this week. He outlined the “great strides” the Cayman Islands had taken towards developing and implementing policies within the civil service and strengthening its integrity oversight bodies over the last few years.

But while he believed Cayman had “a good story to tell”, he said there was much more to be done.

“I attach the greatest importance to the law, the Standards in Public Life, to be implemented as soon as possible. The Premier assured me he is committed to doing so,” Mr Roper said. “Consultations are currently underway to understand some concerns by chairs and members of some of our statutory boards, people who serve voluntarily with little remuneration whose contribution is essential in a small jurisdiction like ours.”

The Governor said that the conference came at an opportune time for the Cayman Islands to intensify its enhancement of the ethical integrity of its public bodies.

He con�irmed that while they waited for the law to be implemented, the body entrusted with overseeing the law, the Commission for Standards in Public Life, did not sit idle.

 Delegates at the ongoing Commonwealth Caribbean integrity commissions and anti-corruption bodies conference

“Spearheaded by the Chair, Mrs. Rosie Whittaker-Myles, and current members Ms. Sheenah Hislop and Ms. Isatou Smith, the Commission continues to seek ways to carry out its constitutional remit of preventing con�licts of interest and corruption in the public service,” he stated. “Outside of this conference the Commission’s latest initiative involves the dissemination of a United Nations Of�ice on Drugs and Crime educational programme – Education 4 Justice. This programme seeks to promote a culture of lawfulness, with modules speci�ically addressing corruption and integrity, amongst our primary, secondary and tertiary students at local private and public educational institutions.”

The Governor said that the Anti-Corruption Commission, a sibling to the Commission for Standards in Public Life, also remained a strong and active oversight

body, having received 166 reports since its inception with numerous arrests, convictions and ongoing investigations.

He also mentioned the Whistleblower Policy which was affected for the civil service in 2017, which supports the con�idential reporting of wrong-doing by public of�icials, and the Whistleblower Protection Law that came into effect in 2018.

“The civil service now also has the ability to utilize a whistleblower hotline staffed by an overseas of�ice, empowering civil servants to con�identially and safely report suspected fraudulent activity,” he said, adding that the civil service policies were all a part of the Deputy Governor’s comprehensive Anti-Fraud Policy from 2017, which included other provisions for codes of ethics and conduct, offering and receiving gifts, and information management. 

A vibrant crowd that included Minister of Education, Youth, Sports, Agriculture and Lands, Hon. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, cheered on the local boys as the pursued the elusive equaliser, as Portmore United picked up three points with the win.

Cayman Islands head coach Lovane Joven said: “It was not a bad game for us. I think in the end, we took our foot off the pedal, we got a little complacent and we gave the goal up.”

Joven, who is preparing his side for the CONCACAF U15 Championships this summer, noted that he’s seen improve-

Five minutes after the resumption of play, the Caribbean side equalised when Osmany De La Torres found the back of the net. The Cubans picked up the energy and were rewarded in the 48th minute with a goal by

Commonwealth Sec Gen says �ighting corruption creates a level playing �ield

By Lindsey Turnbull

The Cayman Islands has long felt that the playing �ield has not been even when it comes to regulations and legislation heaped upon it from offshore countries, but Commonwealth Secretary-General Rt. Hon. Patricia Scotland, QC said that if corruption was fought jointly by Caribbean Commonwealth countries and a global standard found, then a common understanding could be agreed upon that could bene�it not only the Caribbean, but the world as a whole.

Her remarks were made at the opening ceremony of the �ifth Commonwealth meeting of heads of anti-corruption agencies in the Caribbean, held this week at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort.

Sec-Gen Scotland said it had been “absolutely critical” that all these anti-corruption agencies come together.

“Unfortunately, when you look at the level of corruption globally, the World Bank and the IMF have made it clear the difference between the money to implement sustainable development goals and the money we have is the sum equivalent that’s syphoned off by corruption<’ she stated.

Underscoring the importance of stamping out corruption, Ms Scotland said that so many people thought that corruption was a victimless crime but she said it was the money needed for roads, schools and our hospitals.

“We understand this scourge of corruption cannot be dealt with by us individually, it can only be dealt with by us working together because the crooks work together collectively. They don’t respect boundaries, so what the Commonwealth has done is to bring together all the agencies within our commonwealth countries so that we can work and �ight corruption more successfully,” she advised, adding that records had proven that Commonwealth countries were doing better than the non-commonwealth Caribbean countries.

Ms Scotland anticipated that the Cayman Islands would be leading the charge against corruption.

“I’m really proud of what Cayman is doing today, bringing out the Commonwealth best practice benchmarks for anti-corruption and I really hope that since Cayman has been at the forefront of a lot of these issues it will help by taking up the benchmarks and by helping us to implement them in a way that gives a really good standard. I know that the Attorney General Sam Bulgin and the agencies here have shown such commitment traditionally that I’m pretty con�ident that Cayman will be ahead of the pack along with other jurisdictions trying to make this the cleanest jurisdiction in the world and there is a lot of competition,” she stated.

Ms Scotland outlined that the Commonwealth Caribbean Association of Integrity Commissions and Anti-Corruption Bodies (CCAICACB) who were represented at the three-day conference had created 22 benchmarks which cross anti-corruption issues in relation to both the public and private sector.

She said that the issues these benchmarks addressed were “dif�icult, complex and challenging issues”, particularly in small jurisdictions where countries were reliant on many people undertaking pro bono work who want to make a contribution to their society but who also had to abide by good public standards.

Ms Scotland said the Commonwealth wanted global standards.

“We want benchmarks which everyone will see are fair, are implementable and then we audit who is implementing them and how,” she said. “So, if for example, 22 anti-corruption benchmarks are endorsed by our 53 countries and then adopted next year in the Commonwealth heads of government meeting as the global standard and there is then the benchmark by which we all judge our performance, we then have a fair playing �ield.”

She said that she understood that many countries had objected to the fact that there was an unfair playing field and that people changed the goal posts normally after the play has started.

 Commonwealth Secretary General Patricia Scotland

“This is a common complaint what the Commonwealth is trying to do is bring everyone together to help us to come to a common understanding of what is transparent, what is effective, what

works and what is the most cost ef�icient and then deliver it,” she stated. “By pooling these efforts, we believe we won’t just be helping the Commonwealth 53, we will be helping the whole world.” 

Local Causes to Bene�it from Sixth Year of DG’s 5K Challenge

The Deputy Governor’s 5K Challenge is celebrating its sixth anniversary by selecting three deserving causes to bene�it from the 2019 event, which will take place in September.

With a focus on stepping up to the mantle to support the most vulnerable and reduce stigma, the bene�iciaries this year will be: the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre (CICC), the Special Needs Foundation Cayman (SNFC) and the Alex Panton Foundation.

Deputy Governor, Hon. Franz Manderson personally leads the DG’s 5K Challenge. He says supporting this year’s charitable organisations will make a real impact on many of the most vulnerable people in the Cayman Islands. He adds: “2019’s charities do sterling work tackling the stigma of mental illness, supporting the challenges of living with

special needs and assisting those in crisis. Looking after all aspects of our health – mental and physical – is really important to me. So I encourage you all to support the 2019 DG’s 5K, lace up your trainers and get moving!”

This year, the event has a fund-raising target of $70,000. Efforts are already underway to reach this ambitious goal, thanks to platinum sponsor Appleby, which has pledged a $15,000 donation.

The DG’s 5K Challenge brings together civil servants, private sector employees and members of the public in a �itness and fundraising challenge. It is part of Mr. Manderson’s vision to have a healthier, more active and more socially engaged civil service, while bene�itting charitable organisations and initiatives in the Cayman Islands.

Last year, the event raised $89,000 which was split amongst �ive charitable causes. In 2017, $85,000 was raised to build a ropes challenge course for the YMCA of the Cayman Islands. In 2016,

the event netted $60,000 to help Cayman Heart Fund buy an ambulance, which was gifted to the Health Services Authority. In 2015, Special Olympics Cayman Islands was awarded $50,000 to help athletes attend the Special Olympic Games in Los Angeles the following summer. In 2014, the inaugural DG’s 5K Challenge raised $12,500 for Cayman HospiceCare (now known as Jasmine) towards its new premises on West Bay Road.

The DG’s 5K Challenge raises money through a combination of corporate sponsorship pledges and the registration fees of participants in the event.

The walk/run will be held on the following dates this year: • Sunday, 15 September 2019 - Cayman Brac • Sunday, 29 September 2019 – Grand Cayman

Due to seasonal accommodation closures, this year’s event will, unfortunately, not take place on Little Cayman.

However, pending logistics, it is hoped to reinstate the event on all three Cayman Islands for 2020.

Prospective participants can register on the CaymanActive website www.caymanactive.com/dg5k from the beginning of June.

Companies interested in sponsoring the DG’s 5K Challenge, or anyone interested in making a donation, can contact Fundraising Subcommittee Chairwoman Nancy Barnard at SupportDG5k@ gov.ky.

To see the event’s media conference launch, please visit the CIG TV YouTube channel. Further photos of the media conference can be found on the event’s Facebook page and by using the hashtag #DG5KChallenge2019. 

Observing that the Department of Environmental Health provides one of the most high pro�ile essential services in the Cayman Islands public sector Chief Of�icer Jennifer Ahearn comments; “The

past 11 months have seen a strongly positive trend in how the department delivers its services and the morale of its employees. Mr Simms has very much the kind of positive leadership style that will be essential to the success of department and projects going forward.

Deputy Governor Franz Manderson also offered congratulations to Mr Simms and said he was delighted to see another capable Caymanian being promoted in the Civil Service.

Mr Simms was previously confirmed as Director of the Department of Vehi-

cle and Equipment Services on 1 January 2015. The former long-serving police officer was originally seconded to that role from the Department of Vehicle and Drivers Licensing, where he spent several years as Deputy Director. 

The Ministry of Community Affairs’ Chief Financial Of�icer Joel Burke is the Cayman Islands Government Employee of the Month for April 2019 under the Deputy Governor’s Award Programme.

He was selected on the basis of his exceptional leadership skills.

During the presentation last Thursday (30 May), Deputy Governor Hon Franz Manderson commended Mr Burke for being a critical and highly valued member of the Ministry’s senior management team. “He consistently demonstrates excellent teamwork, collaboration and

support to not only to his team and the Ministry’s senior leaders, but also to other entities via professional and technical advice to ensure the overall success of the Civil Service,” Mr Manderson stated.

The Deputy Governor remarked that this level of commitment is outside of Mr Burke’s scope of work as Chief Financial Of�icer. However, going above and beyond the call of duty is one of his characteristics. This is is demonstrated by his membership on various boards and committees across the island.

Another example of the CFO’S exemplary performance and “can-do” attitude is his work as Deputy Chairman of the Housing Repairs Committee which provides funding to families in need of home repairs. Mr Burke allocates the budget appropriately and establishes methodologies to help families get back in their homes or receive repairs in a timely manner, which has made the lives of many Caymanians better.

Colleagues describe Mr Burke as a natural leader who keeps his team highly organised and effective. He ensures that both staff and customers are treated fairly. He can be relied on to always provide his team with credit for outstanding performance and offers guidance and support to equip staff to meet their true potential.

Mr Manderson commended Mr Burke on his willingness to come to work be-

Theme: The Beauty of Cayman The Garden Club of Grand Cayman held its Horticultural and Floral Exhibition at the Jasmine Villa on WB Road on 24th an 25th May. Although it looked like a traditional �lower show, with some exceptions, it was quite different as it was fully open to the public to submit entries as the rules were relaxed to encourage public participation.

This year’s exhibition was divided into several divisions for example, Children’s exhibits’ which focus on “Recycling” where designs were made of recycle materials. Adult designs exhibit depicting the theme, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Horticultural exhibit which encompasses all types of plants and plant materials, and photography exhibit with over 80 photos of Cayman Islands objects, landscapes, �lora and fauna.

Over 200 people attended the twoday event where raf�le tickets were giv-

ing to everyone who put a design in the show. At the end of the event there were over 52 drawings.

The Garden Club is a registered charity with a long history of horticulture and beautifying the Cayman Islands. It was created in 1957 by a group of dedicated citizens who wanted to beautify Cayman, while the country was developing as a tourist and offshore �inancial centre. The club has grown to be an intricate part of Cayman culture. Its main purpose is to develop and maintain the natural beauty of the Cayman Islands and to cultivate a passion for gardening.

Today the club engages in community gardening projects all around the island. it is funded by a small grant from the Cayman Islands Government and annual contributions from members and friends of the Garden Club. 

MRCU and Cayman Prep Partner for Math Class A Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU) employee, listening to the radio on her way in to work, was thrilled to hear a student at a school she had recently visited get all the questions right in a quiz on mosquitoes.

Earlier in May MRCU’s new junior entomologist Whitney Ebanks joined outreach volunteer Florence (Flo) McNelly to introduce MRCU’s work to some 150 years �ive and six maths students at Cayman Prep School.

Cayman Prep Primary Maths Leader Julie Cheriton made contact with Ms McNelly, when she reached out to MRCU in mid-March to request a mosquito programme with a maths theme for the age group.

“I was so excited to meet with Flo, as she was keen and willing to work with us. We thoroughly enjoyed this �irst of hopefully many outreach projects with MRCU. The children also bene�ited from wonderful opportunities to research and have a contextual experience of maths in the real world”, Ms Cheriton says.

To celebrate Maths Week she and Ms McNelly developed a �ive-day programme that gave the MRCU team rough-

ly two hours with the students each day, to teach them about the relationship between mosquitoes and maths.

During this time the young people aged nine to 11 were able to count mosquito eggs and watch the insects develop from the egg stage to adult mosquitoes.

In addition Ms McNelly taught them how containers around homes and businesses can create a breeding ground for potential disease vectors (insects that transmit disease), like the Aedes aegypti mosquito and Aedes albopictus.

They also learned about diseases that mosquitoes carry such as chikungunya, dengue, malaria and heartworm.

From Whitney, a young Caymanian recently employed by MRCU, they heard about the �ive most abundant mosquito species in the Islands and the habitats in which they live.

As part of the outreach the students were challenged to inspect their residences/property for containers that mosquitoes might use as breeding sites.

Any schools or youth organisations that may be interested in a similar outreach partnership with MRCU should contact the department at 949-2557. 

Talent Expo Stages a Night of Youth Performances With Child Month having just come to a close, the observance was certainly “Moving in the Right Direction” with an impressive roster of young acts at the �irst-ever Child Month Talent Expo.

Following words of welcome by DCFS Director Paulinda Mendoza-Williams, the show at the Harquail Theatre opened to a stirring rendition of the National Song. Sung by the Williams Quartet, the siblings set the bar high with their perfectly harmonised delivery before the audience joined in.

George Town Primary School grabbed the crowd’s attention with their bouncy and energetic version of “Moving in the Right Direction.” Thanks to the students’ enthusiasm and the song’s upbeat lyrics, it became the unof�icial theme of the evening celebrating the wealth and diversity of young talent locally.

Blues and jazz standards were belted out with conviction by John Gray High School’s Year 7 Pop Group. “Take Me to the River” and “Dancing in the Moonlight” were sung with a level of maturity which belied the band’s age. The lead singer’s ... Continued story on page A9

Organisers then slowed the tempo down with “Away in a Manager” danced

by Sir John A. Cumber Primary School students.

Next up was a medley of pop songs by the Cayman Youth Choir. “Royal,” by Lorde, Annie Lennox’s “Sweet Dreams” and the Bon Jovi classic “Livin’ on a Prayer,” earned the singers well-earned applause.

The night’s �irst solo artist was Ruby Pileta. The Clifton Hunter High School student added regional �lair to the lineup with a faultlessly executed version of “Pan in A Minor.”

Butter�ield Young Musician of the Year, Dequan Smith, played a cello solo.

The evening’s �irst classical piece held the audience spellbound showing why he had recently won the prestigious accolade against stiff competition.

After the intermission Jamie Ebanks from Spark! School of Performing Arts sang. Her emotional rendition showcased the teenager’s impressive vocal range and delivery to full effect.

Mas and the spirit of carnival leapt onto the stage, helped by lively choreography, in “Hidden in the Kelp” performed

by Sir John A. Cumber Primary School students. Infectious and life-af�irming, the dance had the crowd cheering.

Artists who gave memorable vocal performances included soloist Keisia Blake from Clifton Hunter, and Spark!

Vocal Performance Troupe which sang an arrangement of “Diamonds” by Rhianna.

Poet and this Child Month’s Poetry Slam winner, Alia Smith performed a self-penned piece. The expressive poem explored the dif�icult intersection between self-actualisation and community’s demands on young women with conviction and insight. Ukayla Dixon delighted the crowd with her techni-

cally on point and emotionally strong “I Choose You.” Her transcendent performance left the audience wishing that her set could have been longer.

Completing the classical offerings of the night, was pianist Charles Henderson. Already a composer, the teenager clearly shows much hope for the future if that evening’s performance of Mendelsohn’s “No. 2 from Kinderstücke” was anything to go by.

Dreamchasers Cayman JRS dance troupe rounded out the Child Month Talent Expo. Performing “Afro Jazz,” the �luidly choreographed piece was well-executed by the dynamic dancers.

The free event offered a highly entertaining night of family entertainment.

As the Child Month Talent Expo showed, there are plenty of gifted young performers in the local arts scene. The challenge ahead lies not just in nurturing and celebrating that artistry but also in using it to empower youth identity and self-expression. 

Sunset girls secure Under 15 league and cup double With the 2019 Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) youth leagues coming to a close, play in the Youth FA Cup competitions have grabbed the headlines recently as clubs look to end the season on a high.

Sunset FCs female programme continues to dominate the domestic youth leagues as their Girls Under 15 team secured a league and cup double following their 8-0 win over Roma Fusion SC in the Girls Under 15 FA Cup �inal on Thursday, May 30 at the CIFA Centre of Excellence.

Four goals from Molly Kehoe in the 1st, 11th, 57th and 67th minutes and a goal each from Chloe Bentick-Lalli (23rd minute), Ashlyn Evans (25th minute), Evie Nicholson (60th minute) and Riley Doyle (69th minute) sealed the win against league newcomers Roma Fusion SC. This being their inaugural season in the CIFA youth girls’ leagues, Roma Fusion SC did very well in reaching the FA Cup �inal, considwering they �ield a number of very young and inexperienced players. Roma’s coaching and administrative staff have done an ex-

ceptional job with this group of young ladies and what the players have lacked in quality on the �ield, they have made up for with determination and spirit.

Sunset FC clinched the Girls Under 15 league in April going undefeated with Elite SC �inishing runners-up and Academy SC third.

In the Girls Under 13 FA Cup �irst round played on Saturday, June 1, Sunset FC Fuego continued their march to the �inal with a 4-0 win over Academy SC Mermaids. Three goals from Ashlyn

Evans and a fourth from So�ia Bonati secured their spot in the semi �inals. In the second �irst round game, Elite SC defeated Roma Fusion SC 3-1 thanks to a double from Illiana Romero and a goal from her sister Isabella Romero. Roma Fusion’s goal was an unfortunate own goal scored by Elite SC. In the Girls Under 13 FA Cup semi �inals, scheduled for Saturday, June 8, Sunset FC Fuego will do battle against their club mates Sunset FC Stingrays, and on Saturday, June 15, Academy SC

Dolphins will face Elite SC for a place in the �inal.

In the only Boys Under 13 league game played on Saturday afternoon, Bodden Town FC and Cayman Brac FC played to a 0-0 draw at the Annex Field.

A full schedule of CIFA Youth FA Cup and league action continues this Saturday, June 8 with a Girls Under 13 FA Cup semi �inal, Boys Under 13 FA Cup �irst round games, Boys Under 13 league game and Boys Under 11 FA Cup semi �inals. 

MOMENTS OF INSPIRATION

When Doubts Arise

By the Rev’d Christopher D. Pierce Rector, St Alban’s Church www.churchofenglandcayman.org

Time has a way of affecting our memories. Things that we once believed unquestioningly can fade. Something that we were sure about can become an uncertainty. So, it is with many aspects of our lives...but Satan wants this to be so about the most important things in our lives...particularly about our relationship with Jesus. Do I really have saving faith? Is my faith for real or is it just a cultural affectation? Now, I write and speak as a Christian clergyman. I truly believe all that the bible teaches and those words will be meaningless to someone who does not believe thus.

Some might even make fun of such a statement because they do not believe that Satan is real. That’s ok. Many with your current persuasion have come to believe exactly like me.

So, how does one deal with those doubts as they arise? As time goes by, do you waf�le or do you remember that God is not like us and that where we are changeable, he is utterly unchanging?

Where that we are sometimes like a weather vane, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God is not like the taciturn husband who told his wife that he loved her twice; the day he proposed and the day of their wedding and not since. No, God tells us throughout his word that he loves us repeatedly. He loved us so

much that he gave his only son to die in order to satisfy our sin debt. Sadly, many people do not read their bibles enough or get to church enough for that truth to get into their bones where it belongs. Because of this, they become vulnerable to doubt and thus a target for the purveyors of the “Did God really say?” line of reasoning.

How then are we to guard ourselves in this regard? My advice to you is to do it this way: 1.) remember that God’s word is always objectively true, and 2.) that your subjective understanding and doubts do not overrule God’s objective truth.

Here’s a prima facie example for the subject. The Apostle Paul as he wrote to the Church at Rome and writing as

the Holy Ghost gave him utterance, taught: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 There are two ways to take those words. 1.) that they are utterly true, or 2.) that they are not. If you believe they are, stop worrying because you are believing the objectively stated truth of God. Don’t let Satan rob you of your peace or joy and live with the assurance that comes by faith. 

Canada accused of ‘race genocide’

Duterte: I’m ‘cured’ of being gay

Canada’s human rights record is under scrutiny after a government inquiry found that it is complicit in "race-based genocide" against indigenous women.

Honduran protests resume

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez’s decision to repeal laws that have sparked violent demonstrations against his government recently, failed to stop protesters from returning to the streets on Monday.

On Sunday night, Mr Hernandez pledged to overturn two laws approved last year to restructure the education and health sectors. Critics feared the policies would lead to the privatisation of public services.

The laws were of�icially revoked on Monday, but Mr Hernandez’s opponents said they remained concerned.

The government has sought dialogue with unions and trade groups, but the

groups have demanded conditions such as that issues of health and education be tackled together.

As protests continued Monday, demonstrators blocked streets in cities across Honduras and burned tires.

The protests began a month ago and have drawn tens of thousands of people as they intensi�ied over the last 10 days.

Public hospitals and schools have been crippled by strikes. Classes in public primary and secondary schools have been suspended for about three weeks, and consultations in public health centres have also been suspended for a month. 

Reggae Girlz make World Cup debut The Women’s World Cup kicks off in France on Friday and one of the most popular teams will be Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz. The USA, France, England, Germany and Brazil are the favourites of the 24 teams.

Jamaica are in Group C with Brazil, Australia and Italy and face Brazil in their �irst match on Saturday. Jamaica play Italy on June 14 and Australia on June 18.

Jamaica are ranked No. 53 in the world so unlikely to reach the latter stages but can boast that they are the �irst Caribbean team to appear at the �inals.

That achievement came by way of their momentous third-place �inish in the CONCACAF Championship after a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout win over Panama in October. The Reggae Girlz lost only two games (2-0 against Canada and 6-0 against the United States) dur-

ing the entire qualifying period, scoring 53 goals and conceding only 14. They were led by the talismanic striker Khadija “Bunny” Shaw, who scored 19 times in the quali�iers.

The team in France includes several American and English-born players with Jamaican heritage and is virtually the same one that competed in the quali�iers but the coach, Hue Menzies, has been able to unearth some new additions.

Menzies favours the 4-3-3 formation, as they bank on their speed and athleticism to open up opposing defences, particularly from the wide areas. Shaw, as always, will be the focal point in the attacking trio and could make a difference against their more illustrious Group C opponents if is she is able to get on the ball close enough to goal.

The Reggae Girlz appear more effective when playing on the break using

 The Reggae Girlz hope to get to the latter stages

 Khadija “Bunny” Shaw is Jamaica’s best player

their speed and the return of the forward Trudi Carter from injury should add further impetus. The defence showed its strength in the quali�iers and, while they often play deep against tougher opponents, the centre-backs sometimes step up to pressure the ball high and support the mid�ield’s attempt to gain possession.

Strong performances can be expected from the captain, Konya Plummer, and her fellow defender Allyson Swaby. They are both strong in the air and resolute on the ground.

Without doubt Jamaica are one of the biggest underdogs at the World Cup but they enter the tournament with a positive attitude and will be hard to beat.

Menzies was born in England and grew up in Jamaica before moving to the United States in 1980. He now has more than 30 years of coaching experience and has 15 years of Olympic develop-

ment coaching experience at the national, state and regional levels.

He was introduced to the national women’s programme on the recommendation of ambassador for Jamaica’s women’s football, Cedella Marley, in 2014. Despite the lack of resources, Menzies got his side to the �inals.

Shaw is 5ft 11in tall and her physicality and speed of thought has meant success from a young age. In fact, she was so good that she’s played for Jamaica’s Under-15, Under-17 and Under-20 teams simultaneously since 14. She made her debut for the senior women’s national team in 2015, scoring once in a 6-0 win over the Dominican Republic.

Since then, the 22-year-old has been amazing, and she already heads the Reggae Girlz all-time charts with 26 goals in 30 caps. Shaw has studied at Eastern Florida State College and University of Tennessee and is expected to turn professional this summer. 

Shepherd aims for Williams enters Guyana glory Forbes richest list Fast bowler Romario Shepherd is hoping to transfer his success from the longer format of the game to the Caribbean Premier League in his second stint with the Guyana Amazon Warriors.

It will be the second-successive year Shepherd will turn out for the Warriors, after also being selected in 2018.

The powerfully built all-rounder said he was delighted to be playing for his home team.

He said: “It’s obviously a great feeling for me to earn selection for a sec-

ond-successive year for the Warriors, and this is a con�idence-booster for me.

It is early days, but looking into the future, with any opportunity given in the CPL I will bowl my best.”

The 24-year-old only featured in three matches for the Warriors last year. However, following a superb showing in the Regional Four-Day competition, Shepherd is hoping to play a bigger role this time around.

He was the best fast bowler in that tournament, taking 37 wickets in ten matches. He also scored 315 runs, including two half-centuries.

“The Four-Day tournament is obviously a different format, but my performance has given me the con�idence moving forward”, Shepherd said.

Siakam dedicates success to late dad Pascal Siakam achieved his late dad's dream of playing in the NBA. Now every game the Cameroonian forward plays for the Toronto Raptors is dedicated to his father's memory.

Siakam scored a career play-off high 32 points to power the Raptors over the defending champion Golden State Warriors 118-109 in last week’s opener of the NBA Finals then promptly stated: “I'm just doing it for my dad.”

The 25-year-old Cameroonian was still thinking of his father, Tchamo Siakam, who died from injuries in a 2014 auto accident before seeing his youngest of four sons realise the family dream.

“For me it's bigger than basketball and every night I go out there, I have a bigger purpose and I play for something bigger than just basketball,” Siakam said. “That's what makes it special that every night I'm out there, no matter the result, no matter how many points I score, I'm playing for something bigger than myself.”

Siakam had three older brothers who played major US college basketball but

Pascal's interest in the sport only came in his teens ahead of his big break being discovered in an African Basketball Without Borders camp.

He wound up at New Mexico State when his father died and his mother, Victorie, pushed him not to return home for the funeral but keep working on making his dad's dream a reality.

“In terms of adversity, I went through something that I considered the hardest moment of my life when my dad passed away,” Siakam said. “I was in college and just away from my family. Thank God I had the support of my teammates and coaches in college that helped me go through it.

“But it was de�initely one of the toughest moments in my life, and not being able to go home for the funeral and all that. So it was de�initely a moment where it kind of tested me as a man, just being able to go through that and using that as a motivation, something that's going to push me to do better things for my family, for myself, for my dad.
