Though no money changed hands for the commercials, the FOI response indicates that the ‘set value’ for government entities for these types of ads is $20. The Ministry of Tourism ran 4,376 such ads between 1 Jan. 2018 and 1 Sept. 2019, the response indicated. Based on the $20 valuation, that amounts to in-kind expenditure of $87,340. The FOI response said, “There is no monetary exchange between the Ministry of Tourism with respect to the Support Our Tourism ads, which included the voice-over of Port Authority personnel, the Cayman Islands Small Business Association and other Government agencies. “Consequently, the Ministry of Tourism is not involved. However, the set ‘value’ for any government entity is $20 each.” Previous FOIs, forwarded to the media by a citizen’s campaign group, revealed just over $130,000 in government spending in paid advertising and public relations associated with the planned port development. The government initially revealed that it had spent $55,000 in support of the project between the start of 2018 and 15 Oct. last year. A response to a later FOI request showed that an additional $15,280 was spent between 16 Oct. and the end of 2018, and $60,333.50 has been spent from the beginning of this year to 6 July. In a statement to the Cayman Compass on Thursday, Cruise Port Referendum Cayman said the FOI result highlighted the importance of campaign-finance provisions, which it said should have been included in the Referendum Bill. “The opportunity for fair and balanced public education on the proposed port facility is imperative, to allow citizens to make an informed decision, free from undue influence, in the face of a government who has already spent almost a quarter of a million dollars before the referendum campaign has even begun,” the CPR group stated. Premier Alden McLaughlin touched on the issue in an interview with the Compass last week, saying government was entitled to spend public money to support the project. He said government’s costs were clear and available through Freedom of Information requests but there was no transparency around what the campaigners were spending. He said the nature of CPR’s campaign and the amount of advertising it had taken out suggested the group had also spent considerable funds. The Compass will delve deeper into the issue of campaign finance for the referendum in future stories. Gov't runs 4,376 pro-port radio ads $87,340 ‘In kind’ expenditure for pro-port ads run by government on Radio Cayman Referendum Day holiday gazetted RESHMA RAGOONATH rragoonath@compassmedia.kt Referendum Day has been officially declared a holiday. The 19 Dec. date was gazetted this week and will facilitate the vote on government’s $200 million cruise berthing and cargo port facility, which Premier Alden McLaughlin announced last week. Governor Martyn Roper, using his powers under the Public Holidays Law (2007 Revision), issued the order to proclaim the official holiday for the historic people-initiated referendum. The public holiday order outlined that, for this year only, “for the purposes of holding a referendum on the matter of whether the Islands should continue to move forward with the building of the cruise berthing and enhanced cargo port facility, 19th December shall be a Public General Holiday”. While Referendum Day will be a public holiday, licensed bars and similar establishments will be permitted to remain open to minimise disruption during the holiday season, according to a prior government statement. On Wednesday, Opposition Leader Arden McLean described the 19 Dec. date as the “worst possible time” to hold the poll. He urged government to reconsider when voters will have their say on the proposed project. Travellers heading overseas for the holidays and getting “caught up in Christmas activities” was one of the Opposition MLAs’ main concerns. However, McLaughlin told the Cayman Compass that 19 Dec. made the most sense since schools will be finishing their terms and it would have been more disruptive to hold the vote in January. Elections Supervisor Wesley Howell has indicated that travelling electors will have the opportunity to exercise their franchise through early voting and postal ballots. The Legislative Assembly is expected to begin its next meeting on 28 Oct., at which point legislators will start the debate on the Referendum Bill.

My daughter, Amber, turned 18 in late September this year and had a few days to register. She is studying marine science, registered before the 1 Oct. deadline and was excited to be part of the democratic process and have a say in a decision that will have long-term environmental implications for our islands. We are all disappointed that she will miss out on this opportunity for the sake of a few days. Her elder sister, Abbie, also registered in the summer whilst back from university and there will be two otherwise eligible voters in our household that cannot participate. In the spirit of democracy and to encourage our next generation of voters, I hope that the government will reconsider their decision. ¬Richard McMillan Change voter-registration deadline McLean: 19 Dec. ‘worst possible time’ for referendum Is there anything that the government does that will be OK for you all? I recall that you asked for the referendum to be held as quickly as possible. - Roger Ebanks Potential voters upset over poll date It’s not about going away. Voters need to be registered for a specific time but the Government is holding the referendum vote so new voters are not eligible to vote. All this for four cruise ship berths only owned by RCL and Carnival, with many more still tendering. Let them all tender and save the natural resources that bring people to Cayman! It’s not the cruise ship passengers that spend the money anyway. It’s those of us who come for 2-6 weeks each year and no longer shop downtown because we can’t navigate around the cruise ship passengers. - Leslie Martin Harper How do the people planning this sleep at night?

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING BPW Silent Witness march to mark 19th anniversary RESHMA RAGOONATH rragoonath@compassmedia.ky As the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Grand Cayman gets set to mark its 19th Silent Witness March, it is urging everyone to get involved in ridding the Cayman Islands of domestic violence. “BPW is encouraged that reporting in Cayman has quadrupled in the past 5 years but so much work still must be done,” said Cheryl Myles, BPW Silent Witness March chair, in a statement Tuesday announcing the upcoming march. The march is set for Friday, 18 Oct. This year's theme is ‘Remember My Story, Remember My Name’. Myles said, in the statement, that the theme encourages a move away from the stigma often associated with the topic and towards open and honest discussions about domestic violence and its victims, whether women, children or men. The march was established in 2000 “as a small tribute to those who have lost their lives due to, or have been impacted by, domestic violence”. BPW pointed out that one in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. “Historically under- reported, domestic violence victims have often suffered in silence, something which in many cases has had fatal consequences,” the statement added. The silent march will start at 3:30pm at the Government Administration Building on Elgin Avenue, go past the George Town Police Station, and end near the courthouse. “[It] represents some of the key stakeholders that play a powerful role in ensuring that domestic violence is prevented, and that justice is brought to victims,” organiser Mahreen Nabi, of BPW Cayman, said in the statement. “However, it is important to remember that everyone in our island family has a key role to play. Joining us at the march is a great first step, but we're really looking to every single person to become an ally.” She said becoming an ally could be “through supporting groups like the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre and Family Resource Centre, speaking up and reporting incidents as a victim or witness, or simply encouraging open discussions on the topic. Every bit works towards ending violence in our homes, families and communities." This year, BPW Cayman has teamed up with its sister association in Dominica and they will be holding a march at the same time as Cayman. BPW Dominica president Rhoda St. John said her organisation strongly stands for the protection of women whether it’s violence perpetrated by males or females. “It's time to stand up and speak out,” St. John said. “Too many of our women are being verbally abused by men and women and nothing is done. The law needs to change and protect our women; no one should be allowed to slander, harass, dirty, low-rate a woman and just think it fine to do so. This march is a call on magistrates, lawyers, [prosecutors], police to take these matters seriously." ANDREL HARRIS aharris@compassmedia.ky Forty-two dogs seized in Cayman’s largest-ever animal cruelty case have now been placed into foster homes. In May, the Department of Agriculture confiscated 53 dogs from a Prospect home. Shortly after the seizure, an outbreak of the parvo virus – a deadly, incurable and highly contagious canine disease –forced the DoA to quarantine their kennels. During the outbreak, 11 dogs died, with some being euthanised after testing positive for the virus. “The parvo outbreak was successfully resolved,” said DoA Deputy Director Brian Crichlow. “The health status of the dogs improved remarkably during their time at the DoA’s animal rescue shelters.” After the dogs received a clean bill of health, the DoA teamed up with various animal charities to find each dog a new home. “The non-profit organisations were responsible for vetting and selecting the foster homes suitable for the recognised medical and behavioural needs of the animals,” said Crichlow. He added, “The non- profit organisations would be responsible for arranging for the dogs to be de-sexed.” Police said no charges have been brought against the original owner of the dogs. Department of Agriculture staff with some of the rehomed dogs groomed by Must Love Dogs. Happy ending for 42 dogs seized in animal cruelty case During the outbreak, 11 dogs died, with some being euthanised after testing positive for the virus . 18 Oct. Date of Silent Witness March 70 DUIs prompt police warning RESHMA RAGOONATH rragoonath@compassmedia.ky Over the past three months, police have handed out more than 70 citations for DUIs, with 27 of those being issued in September. Superintendent Robert Graham, who is in charge of Uniformed Operations, said that despite law enforcement efforts, including education and high visibility patrols, “we continue to see an alarming increase in the amount of persons driving whilst under the influence of alcohol”. Out of the total numbers of citations issued in the past three months, 23 were as a result of a motor vehicle collision, police said. Graham appealed to drivers to not only consider their own safety but the safety of other road users, pedestrians, including children, “who may be affected by your actions”. In September, eight of the drivers who were breathalysed blew over .200%, or more than double the legal limit of .100%. “It is especially alarming for us to see so many persons driving with such high levels of intoxication, which makes being involved in a collision almost guaranteed,” Graham said.cayman compass 7 FRIDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2019cayman compass 8 N news FRIDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2019 RESHMA RAGOONATH rragoonath@compassmedia.ky Newly formed female- empowerment group ‘My Dear Melanin’ is hoping to spark discussion on the issue of colourism and racism in the Cayman Islands. The group is aiming to use its first conference, planned for 26 Oct. at the Harquail Theatre, to start the conversation on discrimination against women of colour in the community. The organisation’s founder, Kristin Amaya, 26, said colourism, which is defined as prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, and racism are taboo topics in Cayman and she wants to change that. “No one wants to speak on it, per se, and we like to think that it does not exist here, but I feel that it is so neatly stitched into our society that we overlook it, we bypass it,” she said. Amaya said the issue of colourism hits close to home for her and that is why she decided to form My Dear Melanin. “There are just so many instances, so many experiences that I witness, that I experience myself that I felt that this was something I wanted to push for. I have a little sister who would come home and tell me little things about her being teased about her complexion, her hair texture, and I felt like it was my duty to do something to cultivate a safe space, a better society for her to grow up in,” Amaya said. She said she wants to shine a light for those who need it. “I feel a movement like this is extremely important and I hope that this can inspire other persons within our community to {stand up against] any injustices they may see happening around us, to promote more equality within our community for all residents and for future generations,” said Amaya. It’s about empowerment Amaya, who was Miss Cayman World 2017, said the aim of the conference is not only to raise awareness on the issue, but also give those who have experienced discrimination a chance to share their story. “This is a platform to share their plight and really find they’re beautiful. A lot of these women walk around on a day-to-day basis and feel less confident, less valuable, whether that is in the workplace or social environments and, you know, that is not OK. I just want them to know that. This is for them and to reinforce that they are valuable in society,” she said. The theme for the conference is ‘For the culture’ and will feature panel discussions and speeches on different topics, such as embracing your skin tone, your natural hair texture, ways to care for natural hair and topics that apply to people of colour. Caymanian attorney Alicia Thompson is the keynote speaker. Author Roy Bodden and University College of the Cayman Islands Professor Dr. Christopher Williams will also present at the conference. Amaya said the conference has been attracting positive feedback, as well as some negative comments. She assured the intention is to raise awareness and promote health conversations. “We want to provide support,” she said. “[The conference] is open to anyone who may be interested in colourism and racism to come out and support. You do not have to be a black woman or woman of colour to attend. It is open to anyone who is interested and passionate about equality and lifting up our women.” For more information, visit www. mydearmelanin.com.
