SKELETON CROWNED GRAVITY RUSH 2015 CHAMPIONSSPECTATOR INJURIES MAR GREAT EVENTRichard Wallis, SAMS

The third annual Gravity Rush held by SHAPE saw homemade go-karts race through the streets of James-town in front of a captivated crowd. Some spectators got more than they expected when the high speed action crossed the safety barrier between racer and audience. An unfortunate run of accidents saw four people taken to the Jamestown Hospital as a precautionary measure.

Twelve teams raced to become Gravity Rush 2015 Champions and in the end it was new cart ‘Skeleton’ that pipped ‘Bring It’ to the line. The morning started bright but clouds closed in and it was a grey day that always threatened to rain. The crowds were gathering when continued on page 15

French Visitors in the HarbourLast Visit of the AlbatrosJane Durnford, SAMS

Arriving at St Helena on Tuesday morning was the French Navy vessel Albatros. The ship is on its way to Brest in France, where it will be decommissioned after 47 years serving the French Navy.Whilst the ship was in the harbour, the fi fty-man crew took turns coming ashore over the two days. On the fi rst day, the captain and 25 crew members attended a remembrance ser-

vice at Napoleon’s tomb and later had drinks with the Acting Governor and Mrs Burns and invited guests at the Briars Pavillion.At the remembrance service at the Tomb, Act-ing Governor Sean Burns welcomed all on-board the Albatross to St Helena. In his speech saying, “St Helena’s connection with France is well know and fi rmly embedded in the island’s history that linked back to 200 years when the Emperor Napoleon was exiled to St Helena.”

Captain Commander Riaz Akhoune followed with some of his own words in French for his crew members, as it was a great honour for them to pay tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte. The Albatros has been responsible for patrol-ling a staggering 2.25 million square meters of some of France’s remotest islands in the Southern Ocean, some of it in very inhospi-table conditions.

There is no Greater Love than a Mothers Love

for a Child

A Day for Mothers to Share Experiences and Enjoy Good Company Anne Clarke, SAMS

Prince's Lodge was fi lled with laughter and baby babble on Wednesday 10 June, when 50 mothers and their babies came together for an away day hosted by Midwife Rosie Mittens and Community Staff Nurse Marilyn Pidgley.The day consisted of many activities for both mothers and babies as well as a chance for mothers to sit down in a comforting atmo-sphere and share their stories with one another. "I initiated this day to try and bring together all of the mothers and babies," said Rosie, "and to basically have a fun day out and share experi-ences with each other."

The doors were opened at 10am and parents were invited to stay until 3pm. Questionnaires were circled, "to see how our services can be improved," said Rosie, "there were also ques-tions about midwifery and child health."Mothers attending the event appeared to have had a good time, "it's been an opportunity to say hello to everyone and exchange stories on sleeping habits and feeding," said mummy Tara Thomas, "you can become a little isolated

when you are at home, so it's a good chance to meet up and talk to other mums," she added. Sarah Williams told The Sentinel, "everybody experiences different things and I found it very interesting to be a part of the event."Midwife Rosie Mittens was very pleased with the turnout on the day, "everybody seemed to have enjoyed the day and a lot of mummies informed that they hope that we will continue to hold an event such as this in the future."

SENTINELCOMMENTNicole Peters, SAMS

Feeling down? Haven’t had the best of days?There are times when we all suffer from be-ing upset, need a little cheering up, or just don’t feel our normal selves. I have to admit, there are times when I, personally, have not felt or acted the way I should do, and have let the smallest things just ruin my mood entire-ly. It’s a horrible feeling, I know, and we’ve all been there! But I’m here to help turn that frown upside down. Here are a few pick-me-ups which just might be handy if ever you need them.

Write a list: Sometimes we are simply just overwhelmed with the amount of things that are happening in our lives. Preparing for ex-ams is one example. So keep your tasks organised with a to-do list. Things which fi rst seem complicated to juggle will seem more controlled having a planned timetable.

Keep active: There is nothing like getting out of the house and enjoying a bit of exer-cise. Any workout of any sort can lift your mood completely and is a great way to re-lieve stress.

Allow some TLC: It is always good to take time out for YOU. Feeling better about your-self on the outside can make you feel so much better on the inside. Why not take a re-laxing bath or try a new hairstyle. Pampering sessions can be the simplest things but can make a huge improvement on your mood.

Music: With the help of the lyrics or beat of certain songs, listening to music can be a great healer. Let loose, whether you choose to sing or bust a move. Turn up that volume!

Talk to someone: If anything is bothering you, one of the best things to do is to share it with a friend. There’s nothing worse than ‘bottling it up’ as they say.

I like to think that life is too short to be un-happy. So jump around, do the twist (like Martin George), and enjoy the company of your loved ones. I hope everyone has a bril-liant week!

Free Glasses for ALL ChildrenScheme Expanded to Include 17 and 18-Year-Olds

August Graham, SAMS

After public feedback on their initiative which means children under the age of 16 will receive free glasses and hearing prescriptions, the Safeguarding Children’s Board have an-nounced they will be extending the scheme to include anyone up to the age of 18 in full-

time education. Assistant Chief Secretary Paul McGinnety, who is part of the Safeguarding Children’s Board, explained they had received good feedback, but they found people thought “it would enhance the scheme if we were to widen it out to those children and young peo-ple up to the age of 18.” Most recipients of this new scheme will al-ready have prescriptions, and the aid will be backdated to include any purchases from the

fi rst of January this year. Some people need a regular change of prescription mean-ing an added burden on families Mr McGinnety said. Although there is not an endless “pot of money” the board hopes to support as many people as possi-ble and Mr McGinnety said it was “a step in the right direction.” When asked if SHG can afford the costs of the scheme, he said they cannot af-ford not to as it could hamper the develop-ment of some children which would ultimately have a higher cost for the island.The scheme will not fund people wanting to buy expensive designer glasses, however they will be given an amount of money towards their purchase. The project is currently funded for two years, and further funding will be needed when that runs out.

"It's an Honour to be A Part of The Family"Two Leaders and Six Rainbow Guides Enrolled Anne Clarke, SAMS

A small ceremony was held at Walcott Hall in Half Tree Hollow on 10 June with invited guests and parents for the enrolment of two volunteer Rainbow Guide leaders and six rain-bows. Natasha Stevens and Prudence Joshua are in full time employment, however, they have committed their time once a week for the or-ganisation. "It's is an honour to be a part of the

family," said Natasha, "it also makes me proud to see, the young rainbows now enrolled into the organisation."The Association operates in districts across the island, all of which are driven forward by volunteer leaders. During weekly meetings girls and young women are given a space to be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friend-ships, gain valuable life skills and make a pos-itive difference to their lives and communities.

"We build girls confi dence and raise their as-pirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential," said Prudence.Branch Commissioner Alice Phillips took the liberty of awarding the new leaders and rain-bows with a promise badge before the ceremo-ny concluded with a bring and share.

Making Queues “More Manageable”Successful Bank Kiosk a Good Move for Bank of St Helena

In September 2014, the Bank of St Helena (BoSH) introduced the Bank Kiosk at the Cus-toms Terminal building. The aim of the kiosk was to combat the build-up of large queues as, “there was a noticeable increase of activ-ity from customers,” at BoSH said Mercia George, Marketing and Customer Services Manager.The kiosk has been in operation for ten months and Mercia said, “It’s been going well.” Once the kiosk became widely known, the frequen-cy of use increased and, “it has been building ever since.”The kiosk is located at the Customs Terminal Building across the bridge. “We gave cus-tomers the option of another banking option in Jamestown,” said Mercia, “and obviously there is considerable activity in that lower area with offi ce staff and also other business activ-ity.” Ship days also played a big part in the choosing of the location. BoSH received good customer feedback from their satisfaction survey, with customers fi nd-ing the kiosk, “extremely useful.” Along with

their Mobile Banking sites, Mercia said the kiosk has been very successful. “The kiosk has been a welcome edition,” she said, “it has helped to spread the load so that the queues are more manageable.”The kiosk offers, “most of the teller services

that you will get at the main bank,” including cash withdrawals, pay-ins, account transfers, credit/debit card cash advances and currency exchange. Opening times for the bank ki-osk are Thursdays and Fridays from 9am till 2.30pm and on ship days.

Husband and wife team Garron and Kerry Yon have been making craft items since 2009. They fi rst started creating a small supply of St Helena-themed Christmas cards to sell in one small shop. Since then the business has grown and they now have stock in various shops, in-cluding the Arts and Crafts, and have recently secured a unit upstairs in the Market.Kerry has been making craft for the most of her life, and has always been interested in craft activities. Kerry also learnt to make crochet which is now incorporated into GK Crafts. Garron has an interest in paper, with these combined interests; GK Crafts was born using their fi rst initials.

Kerry is still in full employment but Garron now works full time on the business, which takes over and above the normal working hours. When not producing items for sale, the couple practise making products that could turn into an item for sale.

When ordering supplies the couple must plan ahead for special events such as Father’s Day. They have become better at managing orders as it is a lengthy process to get supplies.

Kerry and Garron are always looking for ways to expand their range and now they have their own premises in the Market they will build on that. When asked about where the pair gets their inspiration from, Kerry said, “It can real-ly be from everything, it could be good views or scenery or an item of clothing, which could trigger an idea.”

The couple have also noticed an increase in sales, as people are buying more locally-made items and they have now expanded to more shops. One of the cruise ship visits earlier in the year saw GK Crafts have two outlets sell-ing items to tourists, one was in Jamestown

LIFESTYLE & CULTURE

and the other was on Longwood green, but as Kerry said “sometimes tourists are just not in-terested in buying souvenirs”.

GK Crafts have recently moved to their new premises and when asked what it is like com-pared to having to pack up their stock at the end of the day and taking it home, Kerry said, “It’s like a dream to have everything set out, so customers can see the items clearly,” and now they don’t have the worry of booking a table in the Market up to 10 days in advance and cus-tomers can browse and come back to the Mar-ket Unit if they cannot make their mind up.

GK Crafts specialises in various cards, gifts and homemade island souvenirs, their unit in the Market is open three days a week and or-ders can be placed for items such as birthday and wedding invitations.

SENTINEL REBOOT - Local news from this time last year

Both Sainttrading containers that should have arrived on St Helena this week are stuck in Cape Town, removed from the RMS St Helena by South African Customs just before the vessel sailed for St Helena.

Go-Kart racing through Jamestown for Gravity Rush 2014 was another fantastically successful day out on Sunday, organised again superbly by SHAPE Manager, Martin Joshua. This is surely now a permanent community fi xture on St Helena’s annual calen-dar after just it’s second staging. Fifteen go-karts of various designs and ‘controllability’ thrilled a crowd estimated between 600 – 800.

One day Frank was happily minding his own business when he heard some chanting coming from next door. “Twenty one, twenty one twenty one..”. After listening for a few minutes curiosity got the better of him and he strolled over to see if he could fi gure out what it was all about. Nearing the house he spotted a small hole in the wall. Frank bent down and peered through the hole into the house. Suddenly as if out of nowhere, a fi nger came out of the hole and poked him in the eye. Frank fell back clutching his eye, he then heard the chanting change “twenty two twenty two twenty two….”

A lady came in for a routine physical at the doctor’s offi ce . “Here,” said the nurse, handing her a urine specimen container. “The bathroom is over there on your right. The doctor will be with you in a few minutes.”A few minutes later the lady came out of the bathroom with an empty container and a relieved look on her face.“Thanks! But they had a toilet in there, so I didn’t need this after all!”

TURN OVER FOR MORE FANTASTIC PHOTOS FROM THE DAY

continued from front pageall the drivers had their alcohol breath tests adminis-tered by the police. No drivers from the twelve teams failed. When the driving was fi nished the prizes were giv-en out to Champions Skeleton with Pilling Primary picking up the junior school cup when Red Devils proceeded further than St Paul’s Bumble Bee kart. There were moments of sad refl ection in the an-nouncement that the Gravity Rush Cup would be re-named in honour of Sharon George, who worked tire-lessly with SHAPE and was loved across the island, who unfortunately died earlier this year. With all the prizes collected, and the bank holiday Monday to recover, the party really started. The crowds enjoyed the stalls on offer and music by the Big Easy entertained everyone late into the night. It was a great day enjoyed by all the drivers but with the injuries sustained by the spectators many have asked if this will be the last Gravity Rush for St Helena.

Prince Andrew School 25th Anniversary Celebrations

On Saturday, 6th June Prince Andrew School held its 25th Anniversary Dinner Dance at the Rock Club. Attending were for-mer head teachers and education offi cers, sup-port and ancillary staff and teachers spanning the history of the school from its inception, right up to the present day. The Big Easy, who entertained the guests, were simply fantastic! Headteacher, Mr Paul Starkie, commented on the year’s events: “Over the year we have seen the performance by ‘Blue Magic’ and had the memorable production of ‘We will Rock You’. There was our Open Day and special 25th Anniversary assembly. In the foyer of the school we provided a display of memorabilia and a collage in the shape of ‘25’ of the cur-rent school community. We had the planting of 25 ebony trees on the school site, a highly successful fashion show and more recently our fun day was very well attended.”Mr Starkie also spoke of the key role the school has played in the community: “Prince Andrew School has always been very much a family school with a caring and supportive philoso-phy. Many young people have been through Prince Andrew School over the last 25 years and most have gone on to be highly successful in a range of careers. All have benefi ted from

Contribution, PAS

the learning experiences the teachers and sup-port staff have provided.

“Students leaving PAS today enter the global employment network and it is now more im-portant than ever that our young people are aspirational, with the drive and determination to succeed. We also want them to have the per-sonal skills and the values to enable them to be successful in work and life.

“From a distance, the fabric of the school may not appear to have changed very much over 25 years. However, thanks to a succession of innovative staff, provision for our students has never stood still. It has not always been a smooth ride, of course, and we have all had to be resilient in seeking solutions to the many challenges staff have faced over the years. Our present compliment of staff epitomise the best traditions of the school with their commitment and professionalism. We are never complacent and are constantly striving to improve. We are all very proud to be associated with Prince Andrew School. I thank everyone for continu-ing support and for being ambassadors for our school in the wider community.”

Plans for Conservation to go Global!On Friday 5th June the Conservation En-richment group braved the wind and rain to begin collecting information for their latest project. The twelve students, accompanied by four members of staff excitedly boarded Johnny Herne’s boat, The Enchanted Isle, to be taken to Lemon Valley to undertake un-derwater photography. The purpose of the trip was to take photo-graphs of the marine life, in particular en-demic species, and use them to document the natural wonders and conservation issues on and around the island. The photographs

will be accompanied by text describing the marine habitat around St Helena. It will also outline some of the current problems that are being faced in order to preserve and protect our beautiful environment. This information will be just a small part of the group’s proj-ect which will ultimately involve collecting and compiling information about all the key species and habitats of St Helena. The plan is to upload the fi nished project onto the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum (UKOTCF) website to enable the information to be available on a global scale.Seven of the twelve students jumped into the

chilly sea without a second thought and set to work scanning the water for marine life. This was no mean feat, particularly as they all had to keep their life jackets on mak-ing it very diffi cult for them to move! Rhez Crowie and Liam Adams manned the cam-era and did a fantastic job taking as many underwater pictures as they could in the time available. The trip was great fun for staff and students alike and credit should be given to the stu-dents whose positive behaviour and good humour made it an enjoyable and worth-while experience for all.

Sunday 21st June is Another “Non-Baptist Day”No “Baptist” services will be held this day!

1. Blue Hill Community Centre at 3.00 pm (Family Guest Service)2. Jamestown Baptist Chapel at 6.00 pm (Uplift Service)

There is no dress code, and you will not be asked to donate money. Musicians will be there to accompany the singing. Vincent March will be leading at Blue Hill, with guest musicians; Gareth Drabble leads at Jamestown (his last Sunday before his trip to Poland). Refreshments will be served at both venues.

The Swordfish – Offshore Fishing

Dorian Caswell, the owner of the local fishing vessel “The Swordfish” has recently commenced offshore fishing to Bonaparte seamount. Dorian has previous experience of offshore fishing having been to the seamounts on board the MFV Portzic, however, he is now skippering his own boat which he built himself. The maiden voyage of “the Swordfish” to Bonaparte seamount commenced on Tuesday, 14th April, when Dorian and Andrew Yon loaded ice and le St Helena at 7pm. The trip took 12 hours at a speed of 6 knots and they arrived at the Bonopart seamount at 7am where they commenced their search for fish. A er about an hour of searching they came upon a shoal of fish and caught 3.23 tonnes of tuna. A er they had cleaned, packed and iced the fish, at around 1pm they headed back to St Helena, arriving in James Bay 14 hours later. Dorian said “The trip was an amazing experience” he went on to say “I would like to thank ESH for their support which has made this venture possible.” Dorian has since been out to the seamounts again, and has been achieving similar catch rates within a similar

meframe.

Exco Report - Tuesday 16 June 2015Executive Council met today, Tuesday 16 June 2015.There were two items for discussion on the Open Agenda, the fi rst of which was the Social Security (Amendment) Bill, which ExCo agreed should be presented to Formal Legislative Council on Monday, 6 July 2015. This amendment is intended to allow for

working years after the age of 65 to count to-wards the required Basic Island Pension (BIP) qualifi cation period. The amendment also ad-dresses qualifying years for those who worked in a family business, regardless of whether they were paid or not. It also covers those who had a child under the age of fi ve years, were caring for a disabled child or were in receipt of a disability allowance or carer’s allowance.

ExCo agreed that the second item, the Equality & Human Rights Commission Bill, should also be presented at Formal LegCo. This Bill establishes the Commission as a legal entity and allows for the Commission-ers to examine any potential human rights violations. The meeting concluded at 9.50am.

Lieutenant Coral YonOUT OF SIGHT , OUT OF

MINDWe are very busy people. Whether at work or at play, our minds are moving even faster than our bodies. Most of us like to stay busy, but there is so much to do and not enough time to do it. Time management can help us prioritize, but somehow we still go to sleep wishing we had the time or energy to do a few more things on our “to do” list."Out of sight, out of mind" nudges us to take care of those things that are right in front of us at the expense of leaving those things that are not as obvious to do at a later date. For many of us, that usually means taking care of the outside of the house fi rst, what others can see, and not worrying so much about the inside, which few people can see.Spiritually we do the same thing. We go to

church and help with various functions be-cause that’s what others see. What about the inside? Are we spending time in the Word and praying to be closer to the One we go to church to worship? Are we trying to be more like Jesus -- who should be at the heart of ev-ery church function -- whether we evangelize or build up the body of Christ?The Pharisees were more concerned about their outward appearance to man than they were about their personal relationship to God. Jesus denounced their attempts to make them-selves look good in giving, prayer, and fasting. He told His disciples to pray, give, and fast in secret, and then the Father would reward them openly. Being seen and praised by others can-not hold a candle to what God has in store for those who serve and love Him with sincere hearts.We are never out of God’s sight or off His mind. Psalm 33:18 says, But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love. II Chronicles 16:9 says, For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the

earth to strengthen those whose hearts are ful-ly committed to him.Job 36:7 says, He does not take His eyes off the righteous. He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.Thank you, Lord, that even though I get tem-porarily distracted by the hectic pace of this life, You are never too busy for me. And He’s never too busy for you. Take care and God bless.

WORLD NEWS SNIPPETSwww.sams.shTHE SENTINEL | Thursday 18 June 2015

The community on Canna was ‘in turmoil’ this week after the island’s fi rst crime in years was recorded on Friday when thieves stole from the local shop. The shop, which usually is left unlocked so that fi shermen can buy what they need and use the free Wi-Fi, was ransacked of sweets, chocolate bars and biscuits. Elsewhere Chris Evans has signed a con-tract with the BBC to head up an all-new Top Gear team. The future of the show has been in jeopardy since the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson after he punched a producer.Russian president Vladimir Putin has un-veiled an army theme park, dubbed a ‘mili-tary Disneyland’. “Lunch consists of army rations, shopping is mainly for Vladimir Putin accessories, and instead of riding roll-ercoasters children can play with grenade launchers and clamber over heavy weapon-ry,” the Guardian reported.

Morsi Sentenced to LifeA court in Egypt has sentenced former presi-dent Mohamed Morsi to life imprisonment for charges of spying for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Sentences were also handed down to a number of other members of the Muslim Brotherhood for their involvement in the trial. Morsi has al-ready received a death sentence in an unrelated trial which rights group Amnesty International called a “sham.” “This verdict shatters any remaining illusion of independence and im-partiality in Egypt’s criminal justice system,” Amnesty’s Deputy Middle East and North Af-rica Director Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said.Earlier this year the New York Times argued this crackdown on Islamists in the country “under the baseless contention that they are inherently dangerous, is becoming a self-ful-fi lling prophecy.”Al Jazeera

Man Attacks Texas Police HQEarly on Saturday morning a man opened fi re on a police headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Later in the afternoon he was shot and killed by a police sniper. “Authorities say it was miraculous no one else was injured in Satur-day’s attack,” the Guardian reported. Fox News came under criticism on Media Matter for America’s website for questioning how the gunman could buy an armoured ve-hicle “but ignored questions about how [he] acquired an arsenal of fi rearms and bombs.” The conservative news station, which is un-apologetic in its defence of the US Second Amendment which protects citizens’ right to own guns, ran a segment showing how simple it was to by military surplus vehicles online. CNN were also criticised for their claims that mental illness may “lead to vio-lence” on two occasions.Media Matters/CNN/The Guardian

The presidential race in the United States has been heating up, with most of the forerunners stepping forward. After much media specu-lation, Jeb Bush, brother of former president George W, and son of George HW Bush, has fi nally announced that he will be running for the Republican Party’s presidential nomina-tion. Bush has recently faced sustained criti-cism for delaying the announcement of his candidacy, therefore allowing him to operate outside the rules which govern how a candi-date can fundraise.Bush has also faced criticism after the media has unearthed a 2001 law which was intro-duced when he was governor of Florida. The so-called Scarlet Letter law “required single mothers who did not know the identity of the father to publish their sexual histories in a newspaper before they could legally put their In Brief

babies up for adoption,” the Huffi ngton Post’s Laura Bassett reported. This ‘name-and-shame’ legislation was only replaced when a court in Florida deemed it unconstitutional on the grounds that it was an invasion of the pri-vacy of individuals.However, as CNN points out, this criticism which has been levelled at Bush from Ameri-can progressives may actually be a boon to him in his bid for the GOP nomination as it shows him as a man who values the so-called ‘traditional family unit’ which American con-servative voters value.The frontrunner for the Democratic nomina-tion for president, Hillary Clinton, has also come under fi re recently. Media magnate Ru-pert Murdoch – who this week incidentally announced he will step down as CEO at 21st Century Fox – took to Twitter on Sunday to

US 2016

falsely claim that Clinton wants to “outlaw free speech” about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans issues (LGBT). “Sounds almost fascist,” Murdoch continued. However it is unclear which part of the speech Murdoch was referring to.Murdoch’s right-wing mouthpiece Fox News has also launched unsubstantiated at-tacks on Clinton. For instance anchor Sean Hannity said he could not fi nd any instance of Hillary Clinton standing up for women’s rights in the Middle East, claiming that her silence had been bought by these countries in the form of donations to her foundation. However Media Matters pointed out that on a number of occasions Clinton has addressed women’s rights in the countries which Hannity named.Media Matters/Guardian/CNN/Huff Post

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR

CHILDREN ARE?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?

The Safeguarding Children’s Board has today launched an aware-ness campaign around knowing where your children are.This is not a campaign that threatens the family events that we all cherish on the Island, that seeks to stop children and young people having fun, or that impinges on their rights. We simply want to protect all children and young people from harm - and central to this is knowing that they are in a safe environ-ment at an appropriate time. The Safeguarding Children’s Board is committed to working with the community and understands that there will be times when chil-dren and young people are out later than normal, enjoying family events. We fully support this as it is important that family values and events are promoted and celebrated. Where the Board does have concerns is when children and young people are in and around licensed premises well into the night, and sometimes into the early hours of the morning. In such circumstanc-es, Police Offi cers may well enquire as to why children and young people are out so late and where there are concerns, they will be encouraged to return home.These are isolated events, but we as a community have an obligation to protect all of our children and young people. The Safeguarding Children’s Board is not a parent or a guardian – but in the interest of your children’s safety, we would ask that you know where your children are at all times and support the agencies that seek to protect our children and young people.SHG, 16 June 2015

Seeing the Wood for the TreesNew Internal Auditor Looking to Build a Team

August Graham, SAMS

Having spent just over a month on St Hel-ena, the island’s new Head of Internal Audit John Kanes feels he is settling in well. He hopes to ensure the internal auditors are seen as trusted advisers who people come to for advice. Speaking to The Sentinel Mr Kanes wished to challenge the perceptions of what internal audit entails. It is the job of external audit to ensure that fi nancial statements are in order whereas Mr Kanes’ internal audit team are focussed around providing advice to SHG. “We look at fi nancial things when we need to,” Mr Kanes said, however the job generally involves looking at anything that the govern-ment is doing. “We’ll look at what someone’s doing and what they’re trying to achieve,” and help them maximise the benefi ts from the proj-ects. Internal auditors “come in and see the wood for the trees,” and Mr Kanes was keen to

highlight that this is not accounting, in fact it’s more about listening to other’s problems. The word audit even comes from the Latin for hearing. Mr Kanes said auditors need to be in-quisitive “or as I sometimes put it nosy” and have the ability to ask questions, even stupid ones. When he arrived on the island Mr Kanes was told that he has no staff as the last member of

internal audit had left her job the day before. However he says that this is a “mixed bless-ing” as it will allow him to build his team from scratch. He will therefore be looking to recruit new staff for the department.Mr Kanes says he is enjoying island life. He has previously lived in Kent in England and used to work at the British Houses of Parlia-ment.

Printech on the MoveRichard Wallis, SAMS

The printing company that helps to bring the island its two newspapers has moved into its new pur-pose built building at Half Tree Hollow. Printech has been situated near Scott’s Mill Reservoir for many years but its new premises will provide a better working environment for the staff. The paint was still drying when The Sentinel visited the new building to see the heavy lifting equipment being used to offl oad the large printing presses. The move had been carefully planned as the window between producing the newspapers is very short. There will be a full report in next week’s Sentinel.

Comair Top SA Customer Satisfaction Survey - St Helena gets New Airport CodeAugust Graham, SAMS

St Helena’s future air services provider, Co-mair, has come out well from a survey in South Africa. The latest SA Customer Satisfaction Index on the country’s domestic airlines has found the company to have the second high-est customer satisfaction rate in the country. Comair scored 75 of 100, considerably higher than the industry average of 69.1, however

they did poorly on dealing with customer com-plaints. It was also announced on Tuesday afternoon that the Island’s IATA code, which is used to identify airports, has been confi rmed. IATA, the International Air Transport Association, assigns unique three-letter codes for airports. Passengers fl ying to and from St Helena will fi nd the letters HLE on their documentation. There were not many options for St Helena, as most of the obvious choices have already

been taken, however HLE was recommended by Legislative Council and Endorsed by Ex-ecutive Council and has now been assigned by IATA. Furthermore rumours that Atlantic Star will be fl ying from Luton Airport seem to be un-founded. Despite CH Aviation reporting this, Captain Andrew Radford, the Director of At-lantic Star, told The Sentinel that the article was “speculative” and that it is “unlikely to be Luton.”

Mobiles by SeptemberSure Sets Deadline for Introduction of Much-Anticipated Development

August Graham, SAMS

After months of speculation Sure South Atlantic have announced that they have made progress with their Canadian vendor Star So-lutions International and are therefore pleased to say mobile services will be rolled out on St Helena in September. The shipping arrange-

ments for the mobile network infrastruc-ture required for St Helena have now been concluded and two engineers from Star will arrive in July along with the mobile infra-structure. More details will become avail-able closer to the time.

NAILS AND SCOTT ON TOP

Larry ‘Nails’ Thomas and eight time de-fending champion, Scott Crowie are locked in a tie for fi rst place following the third round in Longwood Golf Club’s Open Cham-pionship.In the second qualifying round Scott’s one under par saw him claw back the two shot lead Lawson Henry had opened up in round

one, and Deon De Jager’s 72 was enough for him to fi nish the qualifi ers in second, some fi ve shots behind Scott. However, since the club adopted a new format for the Open a few years back, these scores were insignifi cant and the 12 qualifi ers started from scratch for the fi nal two rounds of the event.Lawson’s good form deserted him and although he improved by fi ve shots in round three, the lead has now changed hands. ‘Nails’, who was 16 shots of the pace following the qualifying

rounds, benefi tted the most from the new for-mat and he now shares the top spot with Scott after both shot three over par 72’s. Lawson lies in third place on 73 and Nick Stevens’ 76 earned him the fi nal spot in the fi rst four ball, who will tee off at 9am on Saturday 20 June.In the ladies sector, Sonia Niemand has opened up a commanding eleven shot lead over Helena Stevens. Sonia shot a net three under par sixty fi ve whilst Helena recorded a seventy six.

Football; Manchester City have tabled a sec-ond bid of around £40m for Liverpool and England forward Raheem Sterling, according to Sky sources. Sky reported on Tuesday that Chelsea were interested in signing the 20-year-old but were not prepared to meet Liverpool’s £50m valuation for the player. With the winger refusing to sign a contract extension at Anfi eld, a number of Europe’s clubs have been linked with a move, but it would seem only City have made any offi cial bid. It is understood City had a £25m-plus bid rejected last week and Sky sources are reporting on Wednesday that last season’s Premier League runners-up have re-turned having improved their initial offer by a fi gure in the region of £10-15m. Skyports News

Football; Chelsea have agreed a season-long loan deal with Monaco for Radamel Falcao, according to Sky sources. Falcao spent last season on loan at Manchester United but boss Louis van Gaal opted against making the move permanent after he scored just four goals in 26 Premier League appearances. Falcao made his name in Europe with Mourinho’s former club Porto, where he 41 goals in the Portuguese Primera and 21 in 21 appearances in Europe. He moved to Atletico Madrid for £35million in 2011 where he continued to be prolifi c, scor-ing 70 goals in 90 appearances in all competi-tions. Monaco signed him in 2013 for £52m but he suffered from injuries and played just 22 times over two season, scoring 13 goals in all competitions. Falcao, who has 25 goals in 52 appearances for Colombia, was under con-siderable scrutiny at Old Trafford last season during an expensive loan for United, and was criticised by Van Gaal for a lack of fi tness.

NBA; The Golden State Warriors won their fi rst NBA title in 40 years, beating the Cleve-land Cavaliers 105-97 to take the best-of-seven series 4-2. Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala, the Most Valuable Player in the fi nals series, had 25 points apiece. LeBron James once again led the injury-hit Cavaliers with a game-high 32 points. “This is something special. From the start of the season this is what we envisioned,” said Curry. The Warriors were the top-seeded team in the play-offs after having the best re-cord in the regular season and they become the fi rst team since the Chicago Bulls in 1991 to win a title with no players having prior fi nals experience. Steve Kerr also becomes the fi rst rookie coach to capture the crown since Pat Riley with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982. BBC sport

Harts 2 - 2 RoversSat 13 June 2015 - Match Report

August Graham, SAMS

Despite their initial pressure, Harts were often outmuscled and bullied off the ball, even in the beginning of their game when their domi-nance was clear. Rovers, who seemed to be playing a 4-1-4-1 formation, showed physical supremacy which allowed the team to put their impression on the match. This was especially noticeable on two occasions when they com-bined it with skilful passing to get themselves into a position to shoot. Wayne Crowie almost scored an own goal less than ten minutes af-

ter the team conceded their fi rst when an-other nicely-weighted cross from Harts’ right wing forced Crowie to intervene. However his attempted headed clearance did not go as planned and forced his keeper to make a save. When preparing for the ensuing corner the two had a heated discussion.Rovers’ Denny Leo looked sharp throughout the game ensuring that the opposition keeper was tested on a few occasions. His attempts on goal paid off in the 35th minute when nice in-terplay between Leo and Ross O’Dean let the former burst through the defence on the left side of the penalty area and slot a good shot that, despite the keeper getting a hand to it, sailed into the far side of the goal.

goal saw Leo lose his bandana with a big smile on his face. But Rovers’ joy did not last long as their op-ponents soon took back the lead, with a bril-liant strike on the volley by Shane Stroud from outside the area sailing into the goal to the crowd’s delight. However once again the scor-ing team’s period of celebration was brutally interrupted as Rico Benjamin pulled the trig-ger to make it 2-2 shortly before the half-time whistle.The second half, which took almost 90 minutes from start to fi nish, saw less goals, but much more drama. Not long after the game resumed Rovers scored their third of the game, which was disallowed. Denny Leo crossed a ball into the box and a collision between the striker and keeper meant the ball trickled into the net. But the collision between the two caused the ref-eree to award Harts a free kick. However sadly the game took a worse turn as two players went down in the Rovers’ half of the pitch. It was to be 40 minutes before play resumed again. One of the Rovers play-ers, Gary Benjamin, had a neck injury and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure; however he was lucky and quickly recovered. Once the ambulance had left the pitch, being applauded away by everyone on Francis Plain, the players were well-rested after the 40-min-ute break in play. The game therefore picked up good speed again. Immediately after the whistle Harts went on the attack and missed a shot from outside the penalty area. Harts had one of the last good goal scoring chances of the game as Rico Williams dinked a Barcelona-esque ball over the Rovers defence and into the opposition box, falling for his

striker, Jason George, who missed despite the keeper having been wrong footed to the op-posite side of the goal. After the fi nal whistle the score remained the same as before the start of the second half, with both teams picking up one point from this 2-2 draw.

The fi rst goal came not long after kick off in Saturday’s second game. Only ten minutes after the whistle Chris Owen showed great skill to allow the ball roll through his legs and out towards the right wing. Wrongfooting his defender he was given good time and space to lift the ball into the penalty area for Carlyn Yon to nod over the head of the keeper, and into the back of the net. It seemed early on that Harts were in charge of the game, they were applying pressure, especially down that right wing which led to the fi rst goal. However this early anxiety for Rov-ers would not defi ne the game which saw both sides push forward on a number of occasions. continued inside
