Breathtaking strokes LEICESTER, England (CMC): Rookie Shimron Hetmyer produced a stunning unbeaten century, while wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich also chipped in with three figures, as West Indies dominated the opening day of their two-day match against Leicestershire yesterday. The 20-year-old left-hander struck 128 not out at better than a run-a-ball as the Windies registered 377 for seven declared off 88 overs, after winning the toss and electing to bat at Grace Road. Dowrich also made the most of his opportunity, scoring 108 not out off 176 balls with 16 fours as he regained touch in the lead-up to the decisive third Test at Lord’s next week. He added an unbroken stand of 186 with Hetmyer for the eighth wicket after West Indies’ innings seemed to be petering out tamely at 191 for seven in the final session. Earlier in the day, left-handed opener Kieran Powell also tuned up with a stroke-filled 82. He faced 154 balls and hit 12 fours and a huge six over midwicket. However, the day belonged to the exciting Hetmyer, who made his Test debut against Pakistan earlier this year, but is yet to feature in the ongoing Test series against England. Coming at number nine in just his third innings on tour, Hetmyer hit 17 fours and five sixes in just over two hours off 120 balls. He treated spectators to an array of breathtaking strokes on both sides of the wicket, reaching his half century off 49 balls with nine fours and two sixes. He then accelerated to raise his century off 100 balls, counting 12 fours and five sixes – two of which came in the same over from off-spinner Robert Sayer. After reaching the landmark, Hetmyer continued to dominate and the declaration came in fading light as he cracked three boundaries in the final over of the day from left-arm pacer Dieter Klein.
KYOTO, Japan (AP): Iconic Jamaican sprinting star Usain Bolt is confident his best times can remain world records for decades and admits that things aren’t looking good for Jamaican sprinting. The only sprinter to capture the 100m and 200m track titles at three consecutive Olympics, Bolt retired last month after the World Championships in London. He holds the world record of 9.58 seconds in the 100m and 19.19 in the 200m – both set in Berlin in 2009. “I think (they’re) going to last a while,” Bolt said during a promotional event in Japan on Tuesday. “I think our era with Yohan Blake, Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell and all these guys was the best era of athletes. If it was going to be broken, it would have been broken in this era, so I think I have at least 15 to 20 more years.” Bolt’s farewell major meet didn’t go to plan in London. After a surprising third-place finish in the 100m behind Americans Gatlin and Christian Coleman, Bolt’s last race ended in the anguish of an injured hamstring while anchoring Jamaica’s 4x100m relay team. Jamaica’s team struggled generally at the championships winning only one gold medal – a disappointing haul given its success in the last decade. Bolt said his country’s young athletes will have to step up now that he’s gone. “The biggest thing with Jamaica now is if the youngsters want it,” Bolt said. “Over the years, one thing I’ve learned is you have to want to be great. If you don’t want to be great, it won’t happen.” “I’ve noticed a lot of the young athletes, as soon as they get their first contract and start making money, they really just don’t care as much anymore,” Bolt said. “A lot of them are satisfied with getting their first contract, going out and making their first team. If they are satisfied with that, then we’re in trouble. “Hopefully, a few of these young guys are going to be hungry and want to be great and if we get those guys we will be OK but so far, it is not looking good.” As for the next biggest star in track, Bolt said he doesn’t see anyone at the moment who he expects will follow in his footsteps. “It’s hard for me to pick someone,” Bolt said. “I think what made me stand out was not only the fast times that I ran but my personality that people really enjoyed and loved. “If you want to be a star in sports and take over a sport you have to let people know who you are as a person, not just as a track athlete.”
MISANO ADRIATICO, Italy (AP): Italy’s Andrea Dovizioso and the Ducati team won on home soil in the San Marino Grand Prix yesterday, while Marc Marquez extended his lead atop the MotoGP standings. Starting fourth, Dovizioso quickly moved up the grid, then passed pole sitter Jorge Lorenzo to take the lead early on and was not challenged the rest of the way. It was Dovizioso’s third win this season and the 11th of his MotoGP career. Lorenzo was in a tight battle with Marquez for second until he fell with two laps to go. That handed second to Marquez, while Cal Crutchlow finished third. Lorenzo got back on his bike and finished 17th. Marquez now leads Dovizioso by 67 points, while Valentino Rossi – who finished seventh – dropped from second to third in the standings, 70 points behind. Francesco Bagnaia won the Moto2 race and Lorenzo Dalla Porta won the Moto3 race at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
Local Government CommissionBy Shemuel FanfairThe management of local democratic organs will soon fall under the watchful eye of a Local GovernmentOpposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo Commission (LGC). This comes after months of delays, and repeated calls, for the body’s establishment as Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan will no longer issue directives on local government matters, rather, this will fall under the perview of the LGC.In light of his announcement that LGC will now be operationalised by early July, the Communities Minister told this publication Monday that nominees for the Government side will be known by Wednesday. Bulkan however pointed out that he has not heard word from the Opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) on their nominees for LGC posts: “We have not received a response from him (the Opposition leader) as yet.”However, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo told this newspaper on Monday that the PPP/C nominees will soon be chosen.“I suspect this matter will be dealt with tomorrow or alternatively on Friday, our nominees will be selected.”The opposition leader further related that he could not reveal the names of the nominees as the matter is under discussion among party members: “Once we discuss the matter conclusively, we will release the names.”PPP/C Chief Whip Gail Teixeira had earlier this month contended that although Minister Bulkan was “constantly reminded”, the Opposition Leader had not received a formal letter.“The Leader of Opposition by law, the President by law shall appoint a certain number of people. The Act talks about the minister responsible for local government triggering this. The Minister of Communities has to trigger the action to write the Leader of the Opposition to say according to section so and so of the Act, we require the following, I’ve raised this matter over and over again,” Teixeira had explained at a party press conference.At that time, she noted that three sittings had passed but there were no moves on the matter: “There seems to be no haste on the government’s side to get the motion into the Parliament.”It was after the return of Local Government Elections (LGE) that tensions and controversy surrounded the establishment of some of the local democratic organs. Even before that ensued, government had promised that the LGC would be functioning from early 2016.The commission will be tasked with monitoring and assessing the performance of the local government organs, administer disciplinary action, and implement policies such as tax collection.

LOCAL and state transportation officials last week outlined plans to improve traffic flow through the heavily congested 405 corridor. Anything that will make commuting a little better for the tens of thousands of people who drive between the San Fernando Valley and the Westside is welcome, and frankly long overdue. That’s not how people who live in the communities on both sides of the 405 feel. What they see are years of construction that will disrupt their lives, endanger themselves and their children, and provide precious little benefit to the larger community. It’s easy to dismiss such attitudes as nothing but NIMBYism, and the response of Caltrans and Los Angeles Department of Transportation officials as the typical indifference of hard-hearted bureaucrats. But there’s hope that this controversy will take a different course. About 300 residents of neighborhoods around Sepulveda Pass met at the Skirball Center last Thursday and peppered transportation officials with a long list of concerns. They wanted to know specifics about dozens of issues such as how reversible lanes will work on Sepulveda Boulevard and what the traffic management plan is for the lengthy construction period on the 405. It was the start of what we hope will be a lively public conversation that will lead to mitigation of the most serious impacts and a better plan for improving traffic flow. Everyone who uses the 405 or lives in the pass area has a stake in what’s finally decided. You can address your concerns about the reversible-lanes project to the city Department of Transportation at (310) 575-8138 and you have until July 11 to comment on the $950 million 405 project by writing Caltrans District 7, 100 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. And you can set up a comments blog at valleynews.com to share your thoughts with the whole community.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

A popular Spanish-language disc jockey began a cross-country trip Sunday to encourage Congress to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, planning to give 1 million supporting letters to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. Eduardo “Piolin” Sotelo, from the nationally syndicated show, “Piolin por la Ma ana,” and several others traveling in his caravan left from a Mexican cultural landmark in downtown as several hundred fans and supporters cheered. Sotelo said he would stop in several cities before his planned arrival in Washington on Thursday. “We are knocking on the door” of immigration reform, said Sotelo. “Immigrants haven’t come here to hurt anybody, but just to work and earn money for their families.” Sotelo and other Spanish-language disc jockeys were instrumental in helping to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to marches in the spring of 2006 in favor of immigration reform. Sotelo’s current campaign asks legal residents and American citizens to write letters in support of immigration reform that would create a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million living in the country illegally.
