Zika no longer a high level threat to the Caribbean

From Fond Doux Resort

In wonderful news for travellers to the Caribbean and the region as a whole, Zika has been removed as a high level threat by the World Health Organization. While news of the virus has been quiet since its original debut a few years ago, we know that your health and well-being is still the most important factor when making travel plans.

We are so happy to see travel advisories lifted and concerns put at ease. Bringing bug spray is never a bad idea when you visit a tropical destination and we are pleased that it will merely protect you from the discomfort of a bug bite rather than potential illness.

If you’re interested in learning more, we invite you to read the official release from the Caribbean Public Health Agency here.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Caribbean, worry-free!

TUESDAY

Acting – Junior group: 10-12 yrs 4.00-5.30pm $135

**This class moves into exploration of character, improvisation and devising their own pieces. This is a key age for development and therefore we place a strong focus on the creative process and everyone getting to input ideas with whatever we work on.**

WEDNESDAY

Acting – Stage group: 13-16 yrs 5.00-6.30pm $155

**By this age all the core skills from the other age groups will be covered, along with script work and the option to try directing other scenes with guidance. On occasion, this class will choose their own pieces and this can include both classical and modern texts.**

Actors Training: 7-9pm $200

**This class is mixed ability. It will be tailored to the groups needs but will likely include in depth scene studies, character work and improvisation/devising skills along with acting theory and techniques. There will be the option of selecting your own pieces at points, if the group chooses this.**

THURSDAY

Acting – Mini group: 5-6 yrs 3.15-4.15pm $80

**This class has the focus on play and storytelling. Children will largely do teacher-in-role exercises and learn to work as part of a group, as well as individuals. They will be asked to explore their imagination with an aim to develop confidence alongside skills. This can eventually lead to the creation of their own work and some small performances.**

Acting – Junior group: 7-9 yrs 4.30-6pm $135

**This class moves into exploration of character, improvisation and devising their own pieces. This is a key age for development and therefore we place a strong focus on the creative process and everyone getting to input ideas with whatever we work on. It works with a slightly smaller age group, and younger content than our 10-12s class whilst building on the same skill set.**

Cayman Islands; DCI Reminds Tobacco Licence Holders to Renew

From The Cayman Islands Department of Commerce and Investment

Tobacco licence holders are reminded of the 5 pm Thursday, 1 November 2018 deadline to apply for their annual licence renewals.

Annual registration renewal fees are CI$500 for a retailer, CI$750 for a cigar bar and CI$5,000 for a wholesale distributor.

Persons in Grand Cayman must submit their applications at the Business Licensing Counter, located on the first floor of the Government Administration Building. Applicants must provide a current trade and business licence certificate and written notification of changes made since the last registration, such as the dealer’s contact details, business location, ownership and trade of products information.

For persons in the Sister Islands, applications must be submitted to DCI Senior Licensing Officer, Mrs. Lolita Bodden-Arch, in the Bodden and Bodden building on Cayman Brac.

Licensees are reminded that applications submitted between 2 November 2018 and 31 December 2018 will attract a late charge fee that is 50% higher than the regular renewal rate. Applications submitted between 1 January 2019 and 31 January 2019 will incur a late fee of 100% of the regular renewal rate. After 31 January 2019 and up to 30 June 2019, applications will attract a late fee of an additional 200 per cent of the registration fee.

Any dealer who does not apply for a renewal before 30 June 2019 must cease operations for one year. Following that year, in order to resume tobacco sales, he or she must submit an application for a completely new grant, rather than a renewal.

For persons who want to become first-time tobacco dealers, documentation for new tobacco licence grants can be submitted at any point during a given calendar year.

Applications can be downloaded from the Department of Commerce and Investment’s website,www.dci.gov.ky. For more information, contact DCI’s Tobacco Administrator, Ms Samone Morgan at[email protected] or call Mrs. Bodden-Arch on 948-2400.

Curator’s Corner                                                     Untitled (Eve Picking Fruit) by Miguel Powery Untitled (Eve Picking Fruit) is a lithograph print on paper created by Miguel Powery. This print was made as a result of the National Gallery’s Artist Away grant. The grant generated funds for Miguel Powery and his fellow Caymanian artists (Wray Banker, Gordon Solomon and Hermes Solomon Hydes) to travel to Havana, Cuba. The four artists learned lithograph printing from the Taller Experimental de Grafica workshop, and the Untitled work was one print created by Powery during his time there. As a member of the Native Sons, a Caymanian art collective, Powery is often known for his devotion to creating images that depict Caymanian culture, often illustrated through subjects about maritime activities. The Untitled print was a shift away from Powery’s usual subjects, and it showed him exploring the Genesis story of Adam and Eve at the moment that Eve is tempted to pick the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Satan is depicted in the guise of a serpent, which Powery has characterised as a long-tongued and fraudulent character. His choice to explore this biblical narrative alludes to Powery’s interest in other factors that affect Caymanian culture besides maritime traditions. -NGCI Curatorial Team The Big Art Auction 5 Phillip Pachalides_ Auctioneer Big Art Auction 5opened with a Special Preview Reception on Monday, 01 October and will be on view until 1 November.
