“Nuestro personal se mantendrá trabajando de manera continua para poder estabilizar el servicio de agua potable lo antes posible”, añadió el funcionario.

Aaron Jarvis makes history Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

Aaron Jarvis, aged just 19 years old, made history for the Cayman Islands yesterday in making the cut in The 150th Open at The Old Course, St Andrews. Jarvis is the first golfer from the Cayman Islands to compete in The Open and qualified following a memorable triumph in the 2022 Latin America Amateur Championship (LAAC) at Casa de Campo.

Following a challenging first round, Jarvis, playing alongside Major winners Sergio Garcia and Stewart Cink, carded a brilliant three under par second round to make the cut and sit on even par for the Championship. One of four amateur golfers to make the cut this year, Jarvis remains in contention to win the Silver Medal.

Reacting to the news, Kenneth Bryan, Minister for Tourism and Transport said:

On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism and the Cayman Islands, I extend my congratulations to Aaron Jarvis on this history-making achievement.

Aaron is an inspiring example of how passion, hard work, and dedication can lead to overcoming challenges–such as the Cayman Islands only having one public golf course–and reaching great heights. He is a wonderful ambassador for the Cayman Islands as he plays at the Home of Golf this week.

Aaron Jarvis has recently finished his freshman year at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Jarvis was inspired to play golf after watching his older brother, Andrew, play in the Caribbean Amateur Junior Golf Championships when it was held in Cayman in 2013. After developing a passion for the sport, he moved to Florida for high school to train at the Leadbetter Junior Golf Academy.

The Cayman Islands remains his family home and he is still to be found practising on the local North Sound Golf Club course when on-island. Many on the Cayman Islands have been following Jarvis and sending their support for his Open debut.

Au moins 234 morts ou bless?s ? Cit? Soleil entre le 8 et le 12 juillet, selon l’ONU

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Au moins 234 personnes ont ?t? tu?es ou bless?es entre le 8 et le 12 juillet, victimes de la violence des gangs qui s?vissent ? Cit? Soleil, la commune la plus d?favoris?e de l’agglom?ration de Port-au-Prince, la capitale d’Ha?ti, a annonc? l’ONU samedi.

“La pupart des victimes ne sont pas directement li?es aux gangs mais ont ?t? vis?es par des membres des gangs et nous avons aussi re?u de nouvelles informations sur des violences sexuelles”, ?crit le Haut commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l’homme, qui a enregistr? 934 meurtres, 684 bless?s et 680 enl?vements sur la p?riode de janvier ? fin juin 2022.

Un pr?c?dent bilan du R?seau national de d?fense des droits humains – une ONG – faisait ?tat de 89 morts, 74 bless?s et 16 disparus.

“Nous nous inqui?tons profond?ment de l’aggravation des violences ? Port-au-Prince et de la hausse des violations des droits humains qui sont commises contre la population locale par des gangs lourdement arm?s”, ?crit Jeremy Laurence, porte-parole du Haut commissariat.

“Nous exhortons les autorit?s ? faire respecter tous les droits humains et ? les mettre au coeur de leurs actions dans cette crise”, poursuit-il.

“La lutte contre l’impunit? et les violences sexuelles, tout comme le renforcement des droits humains et la surveillance de leur mise en application doivent rester une priorit?”, explique-t-il.

Gu?re de chance

“Nous appelons ceux qui sont responsables et soutiennent cette violence arm?e ? cesser imm?diatement et ? respecter les vies et le travail de tous les Ha?tiens, qui pour la plupart vivent dans la pauvret?”, a lanc? le porte-parole, dans un appel qui n’a gu?re de chances d’?tre entendu.

Depuis vendredi, les rafales d’armes automatiques cr?pitent ? longueur de journ?e ? Cit? Soleil, commune la plus d?favoris?e et la plus dens?ment peupl?e de l’aire m?tropolitaine: deux factions de gangs s’y affrontent sans que la police, en manque d’hommes et d’?quipements, n’intervienne.

Le long des corridors de bidonvilles qui s’y sont form?s au fil des quatre derni?res d?cennies, des milliers de familles n’ont d’autre choix que de se terrer chez elles, sans pouvoir se ravitailler en eau et nourriture.

Certains habitants sont victimes de balles perdues ? l’int?rieur m?me de leurs modestes logements, faits de simples t?les, mais les ambulances ne sont pas autoris?es ? circuler librement dans la zone pour venir en aide aux bless?s.

Ces affrontements meurtriers entre gangs affectent l’ensemble des activit?s ? travers la capitale car c’est ? Cit? Soleil que se situe le terminal p?trolier qui alimente Port-au-Prince et tout le nord d’Ha?ti.

A travers la capitale, les stations-service ne distribuent plus une goutte de carburant, faisant drastiquement flamber les prix au march? noir.

Depuis plus de deux ans, les gangs multiplient les rapts crapuleux dans la ville, s?questrant des personnes de toutes origines socio-?conomiques et de toutes nationalit?s.

Jouissant d’une tr?s large impunit?, les bandes criminelles ont amplifi? leurs actions au fil des semaines: au moins 155 enl?vements ont ?t? commis en juin contre 118 au mois de mai, a signal? le Centre d’analyse et de recherches en droits humains, dans son dernier rapport publi? mercredi.

Duke gets edge in tricky feature race Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Gary Subratie’s run-on sprinter, DUKE, is aiming at back-to-back grade one victories against familiar rivals, but reports nine pounds heavier in Saturday’s six-furlong Thoroughbred Racing Hall-of-Fane Stakes at Caymanas Park.

The six-year-old grey had weight in his favour for his June 25 win at five and a half furlongs over imported DOUBLE DIVA. Sitting level at 115lb with GO DEH GIRL, DUKE was able to close from off the pace as a team with DOUBLE DIVA to run out a half-length winner.

GO DEH GIRL and GOD OF LOVE had cancelled each other on the lead in fast splits of 23.1, 34.2, 45.3 and 58.3, which benefitted DUKE, who out-finished DOUBLE DIVA to win in 1:05.2.

Though United States-bred GO DEH GIRL returns five pounds heavier, she could enjoy an unmolested lead should fellow importee, JORDON REIGN’s, get off to a slow start again.

JORDON REIGN’S was tailed off down the backstretch in his last race before motoring late in the stretch run to beat LURE OF LUCY at six and a half furlongs.

LURE OF LUCY, who has champion jockey Anthony Thomas aboard, could be the main bother for GO DEH GIRL on the lead. The American rebounded from her loss against JORDON REIGN’s with a gate-to-wire victory at six furlongs, posting 1:12.2 two weeks later.

Though she has a great chance on the lead, LURE OF LUCY could also set up the race for her closing stablemates, EAGLE ONE and KING ARTHUR.

Title-chasing Dane Dawkins, who trails Thomas by one winner in their battle atop the jockeys’ standings, is back aboard DUKE in what could turn out to be a tricky feature, the seventh event on a 10-race card.

First post is noon.
