The winners, announced at the National Gallery on Friday, 11 Aug., include fi lmmaker Frank E. Flowers, environmental activist Dejea Lyons, bush medicine expert Sandy Gray, swimmer Jordan Crooks, catalyst for inclusion Taneil Lee, chef Jordy Rankine, business development manager Kamala Murugesu, respiratory equipment provider Roberto Silva; zoonotic disease expert Dr. Brandy Darby; and scientifi c researcher Dr. Charlotte Hinds. Categories were awarded in a variety of fi elds, including arts and culture; STEM; environment and sustainability; sports; fi nancial, legal and professional services; education; health and wellness; tourism, travel and hospitality; and inclusion. “Through our awards programme, we celebrate the diverse Cayman community who are making waves across the globe,” Ashlea Smith, executive director of Cayman Connection, said in a statement. “The ceremony was a heartwarming event which brought our nominees, sponsors, and supporters together to congratulate the deserving winners, Caymankind style. We at Cayman Connection are delighted to provide this platform shining a light on the successes of those making strides in their respected fi eld and making Cayman proud no matter their distance from home.” McKeeva Bush surrenders OBE award King Charles III has agreed to legislator McKeeva Bush’s request to renounce his Order of the British Empire – an honour awarded for accomplishments in arts and science or service to the community. The former premier, party leader and parliamentary speaker wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, 11 Aug., that he had offered to surrender and return his award in January. He said he received confi rmation last week that King Charles III had approved his request. Bush is awaiting two Grand Court trials in September and November after pleading not guilty to charges of indecent assault and rape relating to two separate incidents. According to the Honours System of the United Kingdom, honours can be withdrawn following criminal conviction or bringing the system into disrepute. In his case, Bush says he made the request himself to forfeit the honour. Queen Elizabeth II awarded him the OBE in her 1997 New Year Honours, when Bush was minister of community development, sports, women’s and youth affairs, and culture. “Since that time, we have seen much changes in our global community and an increased awakening of our national and cultural consciousness,” Bush wrote on his social media post. He said he has been a “strong advocate” for the Cayman Islands to have its own honours system and national heroes to celebrate its collective history, heritage and value. “I found myself confl icted about retaining an award that doesn’t promote Caymanian excellence but rather one that many people believe celebrated imperialism and perpetuated a system of class and privilege,” he said. 15 months for alcohol- fuelled knife attack A man who stabbed a childhood friend in the chest outside a George Town bar has been sentenced to 15 months in prison plus eight months suspended for two years. Jose Yamany Carter-Ramirez, 25, attacked the 21-year-old man after his girlfriend told him the victim had slapped her bottom inside Power Supply Bar on the evening of 16 Dec. 2022. The defendant pleaded guilty to unlawful and malicious wounding earlier this year. Justice Cheryll Richards delivered her sentence in Grand Court on Friday, 11 Aug., as Carter-Ramirez watched via video link from Northward Prison. She said it was clear from CCTV footage that the stabbing was “deliberate and purposeful”. “The resulting injury was not a fl esh wound; it entailed a loss of consciousness that required immediate and further surgical intervention,” Richards said. However, she said Carter- Ramirez had no similar previous convictions, the offence was out of character, and he is responsible for the care of his children, partner and mother. The judge added that he had expressed remorse, with Carter- Ramirez saying he was “feeling terrible”, and he had turned himself in to police. West Bay machete attacker jailed for 5 years Eladio Chesley Brown, 54, from West Bay, was sentenced to fi ve years in prison for seriously injuring his nephew in a violent machete attack after an evening of drinking in January this year. Grand Court Justice Cheryll Richards sentenced Brown, who has more than 100 previous convictions, on 11 Aug. He had earlier been found guilty by a jury of unlawfully and maliciously wounding his nephew with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm. Richards said that on the night of 25 Jan., the victim – Brown’s 33-year-old nephew – Brown, his daughter and two of her female friends went out together for a social evening. At about 2am, back at home, Brown argued with his daughter and became violent towards her, dragging her by the hair and shirt into the house, the judge said. Brown’s nephew, concerned for the welfare of his cousin, armed himself with a machete to prevent his uncle from committing further acts of violence. He banged on the door of their house on Caribbean Lane in West Bay, and Brown, now also armed with a machete, opened the door, Richards said. The defendant struck the nephew multiple times with the machete, causing head and shoulder injuries. Brown’s nephew managed to fl ee and reported the attack to West Bay Police Station. He was taken to Cayman Islands Hospital where he was treated for his injuries. Brown was arrested at his home that evening, and told police he had acted in self-defence.

What they’re saying Online Premier hopes to rid Cayman of ‘expensive, polluting fossil fuels’ Sounds great. Can we start with a sensible CORE programme? So many people I have spoken to want to install solar but the current rates are not sufficient incentive. CUC needs to be given an incentive, too. Without financial incentives behaviour won’t change. Not Surprised A. If they are really serious about it, they can quit protecting CUC’s monopoly and open up unlimited solar. Solar makes economic and environmental sense in Cayman. J A. If every rooftop in Cayman were covered in solar panels, CUC could become a highly profitable, sustainable electricity storage and distribution service, not a fossil-fuel-based electricity generating service contributing to global boiling. If Iceland can get to 99% of its electricity sourced from renewable energy right now (as a country that had been almost bankrupt in 2009), wouldn’t it be wonderful if Cayman was one of the first countries to get to 100% renewable sources? We do not have the luxury of time to wait until 2050. Sarah D. Make solar easier to permit then! Robert H Darley Cayman’s long battle for 50m pool edges nearer the finish Let’s hope some time slots are set aside for the general public that enjoys lap swimming. Charge a fee. An hour or two a day.

Our swimmers certainly deserve a 50-metre pool, but this ‘master plan’ sounds somewhat grandiose. How much will all this cost? This is not mentioned in the article; neither where all the money will come from. Trusty2man D. Should add diving boards also.

Dahlia Roberts It’s sad to see this with our own coaches, [who] can’t continue because of no support! We need our government to give a helping hand, because we have a lot of kids who turn the wrong way. And we really can’t let that happen. So, Gillie, hang in there; hopefully, help would soon come your way. Morna Lawrence Taking centre stage is this bananaquit, photographed recently perched on a breadfruit tree in Bodden Town by Seaford Russell Jr. Described as a tiny, warbler-like bird that feeds on small insects, nectar and fruits – including bananas – the name is actually derived from its yellow chest and not from one of its food preferences. The colour of this bird’s throat can vary, however, depending on where it lives, from pale grey to white to sooty grey. The little bird is found in tropical South America to southern Mexico and the Caribbean.

Speaking at a public meeting on Wednesday, 16 Aug., Lemuel Hurlston said the Minimum Wage Advisory Committee had already established that the new rate should be more than $6.50 an hour, the statistical ‘vulnerability line’ in the territory. He said work is now focusing on the ‘upper limit’ that the community can afford without causing job losses and business failures. The current rate, set in 2016, is $6 an hour, or $4.50 for workers that get gratuities or accommodation provided. Hurlston acknowledged that was inadequate and out of date. But he stressed the committee had to take care not to over- correct and recommend a wage that is too high. He said that could mean people losing out on pay through reduced hours or loss of employment as businesses adjusted. The net result would hurt those the policy was designed to help. “We have to be very careful. The increase has to be affordable to the business community,” he said. “If the minimum wage is too high, businesses go under, and we have a lot of other issues arising. The challenge... is not an easy one.” He added that there would also be consideration of whether there could be a gradual or staggered implementation of the new figure to allow businesses time to prepare. For example, the committee could recommend the new rate be implemented in phases over a couple of years. Vulnerability line Claims that the ‘vulnerability line’ for wages in the Cayman Islands is just $6.50 an hour were met with deep scepticism among the 40-or-so people who attended the public meeting at the Sir Vassel Johnson Hall at the University College of the Cayman Islands campus. The number, which amounts to a monthly wage of $1,040, based on a 40-hour week, has been identified by the Economics and Statistics Office as the absolute baseline a person could earn in Cayman without falling into poverty. Some of the audience members expressed confusion about the statistics being quoted. One man asked, “Are you saying the ESO believes a 21-year- old Caymanian earning $6.50 an hour is going to be self sufficient?” Tapping on a calculator, he added, “Maybe I missed a maths lesson but that does not add up.” Hurlston said the figure was derived by statisticians using available data, including from the Needs Assessment Unit. “We are not in a position to change that because it is a mathematical equation,” he added. He indicated the purpose of the minimum wage is not necessarily to come up with a figure that allows someone to live reasonably in the Cayman Islands, but a baseline below which it would be unrealistic for anyone to earn without falling into poverty. Hurlston also referenced experiments with Universal Basic Income in the UK as a possible path for Cayman to consider as a means to counter some of the challenges with escalating costs for Caymanians. The committee is an advisory body and has garnered significant public input, including more than 5,000 survey responses, which will go into its report to government, to be submitted at the end of September. Ultimately, it will be up to government to decide whether to implement a minimum wage increase, when and how to do it, and at what level. Mixed views While some in the audience seemed to support a higher minimum wage, others expressed concern about its impact on the cost of living, questioning how people would afford to pay for private nannies or domestic helpers, for example. There was significant discussion around gratuities in the hospitality trade and how they are distributed, an issue the Compass will be looking into in more detail in another story. One speaker pointed out that raising the minimum wage now wasn’t really giving anyone a pay increase – it was simply adjusting the $6 rate set in 2016 to account for inflation. He acknowledged that this could cause issues for some, however. “The minimum wage is not going to solve cost-of-living issues, it may exacerbate some of them,” he said. Hurlston made similar comments, indicating that the minimum wage committee was not a panacea for a host of other economic problems cited by audience members, ranging from pensions and insurance to healthcare costs. “We are trying to stay in our minimum wage lane,” he insisted. Challenged over why there was no clear data available on how many people earn minimum wage in Cayman, Hurlston said it would be included in the advisory committee’s final report to government. “There are a very small number of persons currently earning minimum wage,” he added. “There are very few people that will accept a job in this country for that level of wages.” Warning over risks of ‘too high’ minimum wage “If the minimum wage is too high, businesses go under, and we have a lot of other issues arising.

TIPS, which is a globally recognised programme, has certified more than 5.5 million servers worldwide, according to its website, and has been offered in Cayman for the past 16 years through the drug council. “This is a wonderful programme that can truly help to save lives,” National Drug Council prevention and information officer Ivan McLean told the Cayman Compass. “It teaches servers the warning signs to look out for when deciding whether their customer has had enough, or if they need to space out the drinks, or if they need to engage in conversation to help give that person some extra time to sober up, among several other skills.” TIPS is provided free to all members of the public, but only on a voluntary basis, which the council’s prevention specialist Simon Miller believes needs to be changed. “We have said it before, and that is this programme should be mandatory before a person can be hired to serve alcoholic beverages,” said Miller. “The fact is that a significant percentage of our workforce is foreign labour, and this is particularly true in the bars and nightclubs where the servers are, more often than not, on a work permit.” He added, “There are some people who come to Cayman who are already trained, and so they brush up on their skills and get re-certified. Then there are others who come… and when they realise it is free, they quickly jump at the chance to get certified.” Saving lives Miller told the Compass that his office has trained hundreds of people over the years but due to high turnover in the service industry, he continues to witness a revolving door with trained workers departing Cayman and new untrained workers arriving to take up their jobs. “Imagine how much easier and better it would be if it was mandatory for you to get TIPS trained before you could get a work permit to work as a server in a bar or restaurant,” said Miller. “This way, we could ensure that all the servers are properly trained and, in turn, this could go a long way to save lives.” A review of the past decade’s worth of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service annual crime and traffic statistical report reveals that between January 2013 and December 2022, 81 people died as a result of injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions. During that same time, there were 2,419 prosecutions for DUI. While drink-driving has been an obvious factor in some fatal collisions, as a number of coroner’s court hearings have shown over the years, there is no way of knowing the exact number of vehicle crashes in which DUIs played a role. “I’ve heard it said that ‘A car in the hands of an intoxicated driver becomes a deadly weapon’, and it is so true,” said McLean, pointing to the numerous fatal accidents that have been recorded on Cayman’s roads. Miller pointed to other jurisdictions which require TIPS training or a functioning equivalent as a prerequisite for all alcohol servers. Australia has made it mandatory for all alcohol servers to be trained through its Responsible Service of Alcohol programme. In the US, there is a mix of mandatory and voluntary training programmes that vary from state to state. In the Caribbean, Barbados has also taken a similar stance, requiring a functioning equivalent to TIPS for all alcohol servers. While there has been some support for TIPS from local companies and event promoters, the reach of the programme remains limited. “We have been calling for years for a similar programme to be implemented, but successive governments have yet to introduce it,” Miller said. He believes that this reach could be expanded if the TIPS certificate was viewed like the mandatory food handler’s course administered by the Department of Environmental Health. “If this does become a reality, we will at that stage have to consider charging a fee to help offset the expenses of such a large endeavour,” said Miller. “But for now, it’s in the hands of the legislators, but really this is for the greater good.” Drug council urges mandatory alcohol training for servers “I’ve heard it said that ‘A car in the hands of an intoxicated driver becomes a deadly weapon’, and it is so true.” Ivan McLean, prevention and information officer, National Drug Council The driver of this car, which was involved in a single-vehicle fatal collision in 2016, was more than two times over the legal blood-alcohol limit when he crashed into a concrete pole. - Photo: File cayman compass news N news WEEKLY, 18-24 AUGUST 2023 6cayman compass 7 WEEKLY, 18-24 AUGUST 2023SEAFORD RUSSELL JR srussell@compassmedia.ky Iguana hunter Tyree Hernandez has kept his finger on the trigger and eyes on the target for nearly six years in his quest to rid the Cayman Islands of the invasive reptiles. Hernandez, who has retired from a ‘normal’ nine-to-five job, was one of the first people to enrol in the Department of Environment green iguana-culling initiative back in 2018. In a presentation to the annual Virtual Island Summit in October last year, DoE Deputy Director Tim Austin noted that the iguanas had become more “skittish” and can mostly be found in remote areas, but Hernandez says he isn’t having a problem tracking down the animals. He told the Compass that he has maintained a threshold of 400 kills every month since the start of the initiative – totalling around 28,000 iguanas. According to the DoE, between 1 Jan. and 22 April this year, 15,895 green iguanas were culled – an average of 142 a day. “Iguanas will be there forever, that’s my personal opinion,” Hernandez said. “We are catching a fair share of everything. I signed up for 400, and I’ve maintained that, 400 a month.” Describing some of the iguanas he catches to be as big as young alligators, he added, “We killed 50 iguanas last night and, in that 50, we had at least 30 ‘alligators’.” His totals represent more than one-third of the daily average being brought in by all of the cullers. Since the island-wide cull began in October 2018 – when Cayman had an estimated 1.3 million green iguanas – hunters have killed 1.45 million of the reptiles, and the government has paid out nearly $9 million in bounties. And if Hernandez’s numbers are accurate, that would mean out of that $9 million, with the DoE iguana payout of $5 per head, he would have earned around $140,000 over the last six years. However, Hernandez has recruited some help over the years to share the earnings. “I’ve had people that I’ve been working with helping me because, you know, it’s not every day that you are going to feel strong enough,” he said. Opposition But Hernandez’s efforts to blast the iguanas with his air rifle have not come without some difficulties. He noted while he has sustained his monthly kill rate, some homeowners in his culling locations represent his strongest opposition. “We’ve been having issues with people,” he said. “I run into that same situation at Pedro [St. James], where a lady has a ‘private property’ sign on her gate,” he added, noting that though he was actually on the ironshore outside of her property, she insisted that he and his team leave the iguanas alone. “She was taking pictures and telling us that she was going to call the police,” he said. “To the best of my knowledge, foreigners cannot own the ironshore because it’s at the sea line.” Under the Department of Tourism-issued guidelines for owners of beachfront properties, between the high-water and the low-water marks, known as ‘foreshore’, the land belongs to the Crown. “These are the issues the DoE needs to look into and speak to the property owners and enforce what the government has [approved]... for us to eradicate iguanas,” Hernandez added.
