Cayman Islands: LCCL applicants must advise TBL board of Caymanian participation
In order to ensure that the law is upheld, procedural changes for the Local Companies (Control) Licence Law (LCCL) will come into effect on 1 September 2016.
The LCCL requires foreign investors to publish ads that solicit Caymanian participation in their potential business endeavours. In these ads, Caymanians are asked to inform the foreign investor of their interest, in writing; however, as of 1 September, Caymanians also must supply a copy of that letter directly to the Trade and Business Licensing Board.
Also, when submitting their applications to the board, foreign investors must include copies of the two local newspaper ads, published in accordance with section 11 (4) (e) of the law, that solicited Caymanian participation.
‘These procedural changes will help the board to know if the applicant has complied fully with the LCCL’, said Minister of Commerce Wayne Panton.
LCCL applications must be submitted in person at the Business Licensing Counter, on the first floor of the Government Administration Building. The counter is open Mondays to Fridays, between 9:00am and 4:00pm. In addition to the two newspaper ads, applications must be accompanied by due diligence such as a police clearance, copies of passports, references, and the relevant fees.
Letters from Caymanians are to be addressed to the Trade and Business Licensing Board, c/o the Department of Commerce and Investment, Government Administration Building, 133 Elgin Avenue Suite 126, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

By Robert Vaughn From Roots 96.1
Criminal charges were filed against three defendants relating to their participation in a sophisticated global cell phone fraud scheme.
Ramon Batista, of Orlando, Florida; Edwin Fana, of Miami Gardens, Florida; and Jose Santana, of Royal Palm Beach Florida.
The three were involved in the takeover or compromise of cell phone customers’ accounts and the “cloning” of their phones to make fraudulent international calls to Cuba, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
Each were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud; access device fraud; the use, production or possession of modified telecommunications instruments; and the use or possession of hardware or software configured to obtain telecommunications services, as well as aggravated identity theft.

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. July 29, 2016: Let’s face it, laws governing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) rights are complex in Latin America and the Caribbean and acceptance varies widely. But at Rio 2016, several LGBTQ athletes from around the world will participate, including one from Brazil.
Larissa França, the Brazil-born beach volleyball player and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist and 2011 World Champion, is openly gay and will be on home “sand” this August at the summer Olympics.
França is the all-time leader of women’s beach volleyball titles and is married to Brazilian beach player Liliane Maestrini after coming out publicly in July of 2013; the same year same-sex marriage was legalized in Brazil. She is 34 and was born in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, Brazil.
Same-sex marriages have been legal in Argentina since 2010, in Brazil nationwide and Uruguay since 2013, and in Colombia since 2016. In Mexico, same-sex marriages are performed in Mexico City and the states of Quintana Roo, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nayarit, Jalisco, Guerrero, Campeche, Colima, and Michoacán and those unions are recognized nationwide.
Same-sex marriages are also legal in the Dutch Caribbean while marriages performed in the Netherlands are recognized in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
However, eleven former British Caribbean colonies, still have criminal punishment for “buggery” on their statute books including Jamaica, Dominica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis & Belize.

At least 16 dead in hot air balloon crash in Texas
By Doug Stanglin, From USA TODAY
At least 16 people aboard a hot air balloon died Saturday when it apparently caught fire and crashed in a corn field in central Texas, in the deadliest such accident in the USA in decades.
Caldwell County sheriff’s deputies responding to a 911 call about an apparent vehicle accident instead found the burned basket portion of a hot air balloon, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The balloon crashed into farmland under a stretch of high-power electrical transmission lines in a field outside the town of Maxwell, about 30 miles south of Austin. Authorities did not immediately say what caused the crash.
The accident occurred shortly after 7:40 a.m. local time, Lynn Lunsford with the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. Investigators with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board were en route to the scene. The FBI office in San Antonio said Saturday afternoon that it would assist the NTSB in the investigation.
Erik Grosof of the NTSB said at a news conference Saturday that a “significant” investigation will be conducted. He would not provide an exact number of dead, only saying there were a “number of fatalities” and a “significant loss of life.”
Earlier, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed 16 people were killed. The sheriff’s office said at least 16 people were on board the balloon and it appeared there were no survivors.
More federal officials will arrive to the scene Sunday, Grosof added. Local officials will release the names of the pilots and passengers in Saturday’s crash in Texas after notifying relatives. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statement to ask “all of Texas to join us in praying for those lost.”
Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides owned and operated the balloon, according to the Austin American-Statesman. The company’s website says it services the Austin, San Antonio and Houston areas with up to 24 people allowed on a flight.
Margaret Wylie, who lives about a quarter-mile from the crash site, told The Associated Press she was letting her dog out early Saturday when she heard a “pop, pop, pop.” She said she called 911.
“I looked around and it was like a fireball going up,” she said, noting the fireball was located under large power lines.
Fatal accidents like this are “very rare,” said Dean Carlton, president of the 2,100 member Balloon Federation of America. “It’s been a pretty tough day for our community,” he said, adding hot air ballooning is “safe, fun entertainment.”

CRFM to host meeting in Suriname on value chain approach in fisheries
Belize City, Monday, 18 July 2016 (CRFM)—The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) will convene a regional workshop for Senior Fisheries Officers from its 17 Member States on applying the value chain approach to maximize fisheries earnings in a week-long event scheduled to run from Monday, July 18 to Friday, July 22, 2016 at the Torarica Hotel, in Paramaribo, Suriname.
The workshop will be conducted with the assistance of experts from the United Nations University-Fisheries Training Program (UNU-FTP) and other partner universities in Iceland, such as the University of Iceland and the University of Akureyri, which will be sharing their expertise in value chain development in fisheries and aquaculture.
The transaction between seller and buyer is a critical point along the fisheries value chain
The CRFM is also partnering with the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago, to implement the upcoming training, which will kick off after a formal opening ceremony scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Monday, July 18.
CRFM Executive Director, Milton Haughton, notes that the initiative is designed to help key government and private sector representatives who operate small and medium-sized fisheries and aquaculture enterprises to become more efficient through capacity-building.
The CRFM, through this initiative, is also partnering with stakeholders to promote the value chain approach and to maximize the use of this approach to unlock the Caribbean’s full potential.
The CRFM expects that the key actors in the sector who are being targeted will better understand the value chain approach and use it to assess the primary constraints that affect them. They should also be able to identify opportunities for investments and other interventions to generate greater returns for the sector. Ultimately, this initiative aims to improve the overall profitability and sustainability of the industry.
Furthermore, the CRFM will lead and support the development of action plans for member countries, after pilot studies are conducted at selected locations.

Mideast courier Aramex founder cashes out 10-percent stake
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS From New York Times
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Mideast courier service Aramex announced Sunday that its founder had sold a nearly 10-percent stake in the Dubai-based company.
Aramex said in a stock exchange filing that founder Fadi Ghandour sold all of his stake in Levant Logistics Holdings, a Cayman Islands-based company that controls a 9.9-percent stake in Aramex. The buyer was another Cayman Islands-based company, Boson Ventures Corporation.
Aramex did not disclose when the sale happened or at what price. Based on the most recent Aramex closing price, the stake is worth 579.8 million dirhams ($158 million).
Aramex shares rose on the news, extending an 11-day winning streak. They gained 2.5 percent to close at 4.10 dirhams as the broader Dubai Financial Market declined.

Hacker goes through various struggles to formulate and enact legislation or effect departmental changes that are continually opposed by the British Civil Service in particular his Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby. His Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, is usually caught between the two. The British comedy, written by Sir Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, was fist broadcast by BBC Television in the 1980s has now been adapted to the Cayman stage by Chuck and Barrie Quappe. As the Cayman Parliamentary system is based on Whitehall, any of the situations will be undeniably familiar to all that live in Cayman!

Update on Residential Garbage Collection Services in Cayman Islands
The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) wishes to inform the public that the residential garbage collection service on Grand Cayman is once per week. In an effort to minimise waste, divert the waste stream from the landfill, and reduce littering, the DEH is encouraging all residents to recycle items (such as tin cans, aluminium, glass bottles, batteries, and #1 & #2 plastics) and deposit those items at one of the recycling depots at the local supermarkets.
The DEH is also reminding the public to only place their residential waste by the roadside for service collection on the following scheduled days:
- Mondays – From Crystal Harbour / Governor’s Harbour to West Bay inclusive of the side roads.
- Tuesdays – From Safe Heaven / West Bay Rd including Harbour Heights to South Church St, Walkers Rd, Smith Rd, Templeton Pine Lake area, Shedden Road, North Sound Road, Breezy Way, Eastern Ave, Mary’s St, Rock Hole, plus the side roads.
- Wednesdays – From Windsor Park, South Sound Rd, Crewe Rd, Bobby Thompson Way, Half Way Pond, Randyke Gardens, Prospect Point Rd, the entire Prospect area including Patrick’s Island and the side roads.
- Thursdays – From the junction of Shamrock Rd / Prospect Point Rd. to Will T. Dr. in Bodden Town and this includes Spotts, Homes off the East-West Arterial road plus the Savannah / Newlands area and the side roads.
- Fridays – From Will T. Drive eastward inclusive of Northward, Bodden Town, East End, North Side and the side roads. There will be no more residential collections on Saturdays or Mondays in the eastern districts from 29 July 2016.
Mr Roydell Carter, Director DEH says, “that the slightly revised residential service schedule normalizes the collection services across Grand Cayman with the majority of residents seeing no change with their current collection day.”
Commercial Customers will continue to receive waste collection service as contracted.
For further information, please contact the DEH at 949-8793 or 949-6696 or visit the DEH’s website at: deh.gov.ky

“The Steering Committee is continuing to consult and engage key stakeholders in the development of the National Older Persons Policy (NOPP),” explained Deputy Director in the Cabinet Office’s Policy Coordination Unit Deborah Webb-Sibblies.
Ms Webb-Sibblies added: “We thought it best to host the focus groups in each of the districts to ensure the older residents would be more comfortable speaking of the issues impacting them in their respective communities.”

Cayman Islands Liquor Licence Holders: Remember your 19 August deadline
Liquor licence holders – including those with music and dancing licenses – are reminded of the Friday, 19 August deadline to apply for licence renewals.
They also are reminded that before they can apply for a renewal, their premises must be inspected by relevant Government agencies. Depending on licensees’ particular operations, these inspections may include the Fire Service, Department of Environmental Health, Planning Department, and Port Authority.
To help speed up the process, the Planning Department has advised that licensees must have inspections done by private, licensed plumbers and/or electricians. These inspections are then submitted to the Planning Department for approval.
The Planning Department added that there are a few exceptions. For example, package licences (for retail outlets such as stores and warehouses) do not require electrical or plumbing inspections.
Only complete renewal applications, with either inspection certificates or proof of inspection requests, that are submitted by the 19 August deadline will be heard at the Liquor Licensing Board’s annual session on 30 September.
Applications can be downloaded from the Department of Commerce and Investment’s website, www.dci.gov.ky . For more information, contact the Liquor Licensing Board through Acting Secretary Gavin Dixon on 244-3167 or DCI’s Shelise Jeffery on 244-2202.
