SUNDAY CHRONICLE September 21, 2014

President heads high level team to UN General Assembly meeting PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar is heading a highlevel team to the United Nations’ General Assembly Meeting at the United Nations Headquarters, New York on September 22.

Accompanying the President will be First Lady D e o l a t c h m e e R a m o t a r, Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni S i n g h , F o r e i g n A ff a i r s Minister, Carolyn RodriguesBirkett and Director General of the Foreign Ministry, Elisabeth Harper. Expected to join the delegation, is Amerindian Affairs Minister, Pauline Sukhai, who is slated to attend the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. Ambassador George Talbot while other officers from the Guyana Mission in New York will also form part of Guyana’s delegation.

Ms. Rodrigues-Birkett during an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA) said apart from the UN

General Assembly where the President will make a presentation, there are several other meetings this year.

She noted that whilst the international community is busy discussing the post-2015 development agenda with the deadlines for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) being 2015, the focus now is post- 2015.

The minister observed that additionally, the climate change agenda is picking up, with an international agenda set for a legally binding agreement for 2015. As such, she pointed out that in the margins of the UN General Assembly there will be a climate change summit to be hosted by the UN Secretary General, Ban-ki-Moon.

President Ramotar is slated to make a presentation during this summit.

The Foreign Affairs Minister said Mr. Ramotar is expected to speak about promises and commitment

for financing, relating to mitigation and adaptation.

Guyana, along with other small developing countries, is not pleased with the delivery of those commitments. In fact there has been little delivery and the Green Climate Fund has not been fully operational she explained. These facts, she said will be pointed out by the President in his presentation.

In addition, the fact that while the Secretary General has indicated that

In addition to the Climate Change meeting, the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples will see Ms. Sukhai and Chairman of the National Toshaos Council (NTC), Derrick John participating. The minister added that the head

What Caribbean countries would like to see is the fulfillment of commitments which have been made, the Foreign Minister stated.

However, the meeting will

of the NTC and other nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) have been involved in the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples for several years and the Conference actually came about through that forum.

She explained that there are several round-table meetings slated where Ms. Sukhai will make presentations highlighting

Guyana’s experiences where a lot has been done for the development of indigenous people even as there remains a far way to go.

While Guyana is willing to share its experiences, the indigenous component of the delegation will also look at the statistics regarding the issues of indigenous peoples on the international scene.

Whilst these figures are not what the world should be proud about, they will be addressed in the international arena.

Ms. Rodrigues-Birkett stated that with Guyana as part of the Global Education First Initiative, the meeting will be attended

by President Ramotar who is a member of the Committee. Guyana is the only CARICOM country on that committee which meets annually. She pointed out that he will highlight the fact that some developing countries have not been able to meet some of the MDGs, and that in order to reach all the children of the world, difficult issues such as copyright and balance will have to be dealt with.

Meanwhile the Minister said that the Foreign Affairs part of the delegation will also be busy during the UN General Assembly with herself chairing the COFCOR meeting which will also meet in the margins of the General Assembly. Issues relevant to

CARICOM will be addressed along with bi-laterals with the United Arab Emirates and other countries.

Ms. Rodrigues-Birkett said she is also slated to attend the Commonwealth Foreign Ministers Meeting which will see Guyana and Belize updating the meeting regarding border matters among other issues. The Commonwealth will also discuss the development of the post-2015 agenda along with the reform of the Commonwealth.

There will also be meetings regarding UNASUR and CELAC among others where the Guyana delegation will utilise the opportunity to discuss issues important to the country and the Region.

The fact that Guyana has moved up to a middle income country and would not now be eligible for funding as before will also be discussed during the meetings.

At the annual Assembly Meeting, foreign ministers, diplomats and world leaders of the 192 members of the United Nations will discuss a wide range of issues in national and international affairs.

The Guyana delegation will spend approximately one week at the General Assembly after which President Ramotar will visit the diaspora in the U.S.A before returning home, the minister said. (GINA)

Teixeira calls on Ramjattan to retract comment or face Privileges Committee - PPP/C Parliamentarians shocked, disturbed at false assertions

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENTIAL Adviser on Governance and Government and Chief Whip in the National Assembly, Ms. Gail Teixeira on Friday wrote the Speaker of the House, Mr. Raphael Trotman, to register the ruling party’s serious concern over statements made by the Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan.

Ramjattan at a press conference last Thursday, stated that his party had been “reliably

Khemraj Ramjattan

Gail Teixeira

informed” that the PPP/C Government, against whom the NoConfidence Motion has been filed, has plans to “buy out” at least three parliamentarians at $30M each to vote against the motion when it comes up for debate next month.

Ms. Teixeira has since called on the AFC Leader to produce evidence to support his allegations.

She said: “These pronouncements by Mr. Ramjattan should not be treated solely in the realm of “political turf wars” of political parties, which the Government and the PPP are capable of handling, but more importantly, these accusations bring all Members of Parliament in Guyana into disrepute, and, in doing so, damages the image and integrity of the entire Guyanese

Legislature, including you, as the Speaker.”

To this end, the Presidential Adviser called on the Speaker of the House to call on the AFC Leader to publicly retract his statement or provide proof of his claims.

“I am therefore calling on you, sir, as Speaker, to call on MP (Member of Parliament), Mr. Ramjattan, to publicly retract his statement or provide proof of which Members of Parliament were offered bribes and by whom.”

MOVE TO PRIVILEGE COMMITTEE According to Ms. Teixeira, failure by Mr. Ramjattan to retract his comments will result in a move by the Government MPs to call for his referral to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee for besmirching and denigrating the image and integrity of all MPs and the entire National Assembly.

She said: “The Government and the PPP/C Members of Parliament are shocked and very disturbed by public Raphael Trotman pronouncements at an AFC press…Mr. Ramjattan was quoted as saying that “we have gotten reliable information that the PPP’s answer to the no-confidence motion is not what is said, but at least by buying off three parliamentarians at $30M each to vote no rather than yes, and that’s the only way …and that’s the only option they have’. He even went on further to say “… but, we can never know, probably the price can jump higher.”

“The Government and the PPP immediately and separately publicly disassociated themselves from these slanderous pronouncements by M.P. Mr. Ramjattan and called on the AFC to provide the evidence of this allegation.”

She pointed out that these comments have portrayed to the

world, “in this world of rapid communications,” that Guyanese MPs are “corrupt and buyable” – an image that once created

“It appears that in Mr. Ramjattan’s blind haste to besmirch the Government and the PPP, he broadsided the entire Legislature and all Members of Parliament.” -- Ms. Gail Teixeira in Guyana and globally can never be erased.

“It appears that in Mr. Ramjattan’s blind haste to besmirch the Government and the PPP he broadsided the entire Legislature and all Members of Parliament. This, l have no doubt, must have disturbed you as the Speaker of the National Assembly,” Ms. Teixeira said.

Attempts by the Guyana Chronicle to contact the Speaker for a response to Ms. Teixeira’s letter proved futile.

French jets strike in Iraq, expanding U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State

By Oliver Holmes and Alexandria Sage

(Reuters) - FRENCH jets struck a suspected Islamic State target in Iraq for the first time on Friday, expanding a U.S.-led military campaign against militants who have seized a third of the country and also control large parts of neighboring Syria.

President Francois Hollande said Rafale jets hit “a logistics depot of the terrorists” near the city of Mosul, which has been held by Islamic State for more than three months. It promised more operations in coming days.

The French military action, which follows U.S. air strikes in northern Iraq and near the capital Baghdad, appeared to win qualified endorsement from Iraq’s top Shi’ite leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.

About 60,000 Syrian Kurds flee to Turkey from Islamic State advance

By Daren Butler (Reuters) - ABOUT 60,000 Syrian Kurds fled into Turkey in the space of 24 hours, a deputy prime minister said on Saturday, as Islamic State militants seized dozens of villages close to the border.

Turkey opened a stretch of the frontier on Friday after Kurdish civilians fled their homes, fearing an imminent attack on the border town of Ayn al-Arab, also known as Kobani. A Kurdish commander on the ground said Islamic State had advanced to within 15 km (9 miles) of the town.

Local Kurds said they feared a massacre in Kobani, whose strategic location has been blocking the radical Sunni Muslim militants from consolidating their gains across northern Syria.

Mexico drug suspect Aquiles Gomez killed (BBC News.com) MEXICAN police have found the body of Aquiles Gomez, who was thought to be one of the main leaders of the Knights Templar drug cartel.

The body was found with a bullet wound in a house in central Michoacan state.

He was believed to be the brother of Servando “La Tuta” Gomez, head of the Knights Templars and one of the country’s most-wanted drug suspects.

Several of the cartel’s top commanders have been killed recently, but La Tuta remains at large.

The Knights Templar controls much of the methamphetamine and marijuana trade in western Mexico.

Prosecutors said Aquiles Gomez was one of its main operators, alongside his

brothers Flavio and Luis Filipe Gomez.

Police found his body on Friday at his home in Lazaro Cardenas, a port city on the Pacific coast and a drug-trafficking hotspot.

Vigilantes In January, vigilante groups began a series of operations against the group in Michoacan state. The vigilantes took control of several towns before federal forces were deployed to the area.

The Mexican government invited the vigilantes to join the official security forces and carry on the fight against the cartel.

Farmers in an area known as Tierra Caliente say they are victims of extortion and kidnappings carried out by the Knights Templar.

The group, which operates mainly in central and western Mexico, first emerged in 2011 as an offshoot of La Familia Michoacana drug cartel.

It takes its name from a Christian military order from the Middle Ages.

The government of President Enrique Pena Nieto has achieved significant victories in the fight against the drug cartels this year.

Three of the Knights Templar top leaders - Enrique Plancarte, known as Kike; Dionicio Loya Plancarte, known as El Tio (The Uncle); and Nazario Moreno, known as The Craziest One - were killed during or arrested earlier this year.

But the biggest coup came in February, with the arrest of Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman.

Hurricane Odile: British couple missing off Mexican coast (BBC News) A BRITISH couple have been reported missing at sea after Hurricane Odile hit Mexico last weekend.

Friends of Paul Whitehouse and Simone Wood, from Wolverhampton and London respectively, said they were on a yacht which capsized in La Paz’s harbour.

Odile destroyed homes and hotels in the beach resorts of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Sunday.

The Foreign Office said it was assisting the couple’s families and ensuring other UK tourists were safe.

We are urgently working with authorities on the ground in Mexico to ensure the safety of British nationals” British embassy Their 70 ft boat was one of 25 which capsized when the hurricane hit, says BBC Los Angeles correspondent

Alastair Leithead.

Mr Whitehouse has been working as a scuba instructor in La Paz for a year. Both he and Ms Wood are thought to be in their 40s, our correspondent added.

Vigilante groups On Wednesday, thousands of tourists had to be airlifted from the Los Cabos resort.

Military and commercial planes transported them from Los Cabos international airport, which is closed to commercial flights because of damage from the storm.

Odile made landfall at Mexico’s Pacific Coast last Sunday as a category three hurricane, causing extensive damage.

Vigilante groups in Baja California Sur have set up patrols in an attempt to prevent looting in the state.

Many shacks in poor areas in the region were blown

away by the storm, which had maximum sustained winds of 125mph (205km/h) according to the US National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Responding to reports about the missing British couple, a spokesman for the British embassy said: “We are in touch with local authorities and are providing consular assistance to the families at this difficult time.

Former El Salvador leader Francisco Flores in police custody (BBC News) FORMER El Salvador President Francisco Flores has been transferred to police custody, after a court in San Salvador revoked his house arrest.

Mr Flores has been charged with corruption, accused of misappropriating more than $15m (£9m) in aid money given by Taiwan.

The former president, who was in office between 1999 and 2004, denies the charges.

He handed himself in two weeks ago after four months on the run.

A judge in San Salvador put him under house arrest, which sparked demonstrations outside his home.

Hundreds of people gathered to demand that he be transferred to a prison.

Mr Flores, from the conservative Arena party, says the charges are politically motivated.

‘Renegade province’ He said that he had asked Taiwan for donations on three occasions.

The first time, he said, it was to help reconstruction efforts after two earthquakes killed about 1,500 people in 2001.

Another time he had asked Taiwan for help in combating drug trafficking, and a third donation was to fight crime and gangs, he explained.

GUYANA

NO NEED FOR THE PNCR’S CONFUSION AND THREATS THERE IS something quite pathetic to observe about the thinking and public posturing of both, Mr. David Granger, Leader of the Peoples National Congress/ Reform (PNCR) and his fellow Opposition partner of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, as they separately jostle to grab media headlines in their ongoing politics of denigration to hurt Guyana’s social and economic progress.

So, while the AFC’s Ramjattan was accusing the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) of being involved in a scheme to offer bribes to a trio of unnamed Opposition parliamentarians in the sum of G$30M

each, to vote down the coming “no -confidence” motion against the Government, the PNCR’s Granger was separately engaged in his own political game.

Do not expect the AFC’s Ramjattan to come forward with ANY evidence in support of his sensational claim.

But the PNCR’s Granger has an obligation to extricate himself from the self-created trap in seeking to make a distinction between planned “street protests” for local government elections now and his mealy-mouthed contention that the “protest does not necessarily mean that persons will take to the streets…”

G r a n g e r c o u l d p e rhaps fly-a-kite, as the saying goes, in relation to his

claimed “mobilisation” of international support (via printed petitions (?) to overseas-based organisations and agencies or their local representatives.

However, the ex-Brigadier of the GDF certainly has a hard row to hoe if he is honestly looking forward to involving a significant showing of PEACEFUL street protests—without a rent-a-crowd show and the PNCR’s traditional divisive politics that mock our prevailing rule of law environment.

The head of the Private Sector Commisson (PSC), Mr. Ramesh Persaud has already considered it necessary to publicly question the timing, at this stage, of the PNCR leader’s mobilisation

for local government elections ahead of new general elections.

The status quo

He is well aware of President Donald Ramotar’s publicly stated position that once the coalition of Opposition parties go ahead with their threatened “no-confidence” motion in the 65-member parliament, for which they have a guaranteed ONE-seat majority, he would resort to his constitutional authority to order a snap national poll.

Thereafter, the arrangements for new elections would be fully in the hands of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

Further, both the PNCR

and AFC are quite aware of the Government’s stated position for following through with a countrywide Local Government poll AFTER snap or scheduled national elections.

Given its long history-as well-known even by its opponent and detractors—of peaceful struggles for electoral democracy and national unity, the governing party should have no problems with the PNCR’s campaign to energise international and local support—hopefully peaceful—in favour of scheduled local government elections.

Nevertheless, there should be NO confusion between overseas-based organisations/agencies, or their local representatives, expressing their positions on the conduct of local government elections in Guyana.

They would, hopefully, also reflect their own understanding of the norms of democratic parliamentary governance as well as the constitutionally-based powers of our Head of State that currently reside with President Donald Ramotar.

HGP Nightly News article on Nigel Dharamalall defamatory I ACT on behalf of Mr. Nigel Dharamlall, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.

I am instructed that on Friday, the 19th day of September, 2014, the HGP Nightly News carried a news article headlined, ‘PS IN HOT WATER AGAIN...

ANOTHER CASE OF STAFF ABUSE’. The article, inter alia, alleges that

my client was involved in a physical altercation with a member of staff of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, is engaged in an extra marital affair with the said member of staff and has a history of such behaviour.

My client vehemently denies all of the allegations contained in the said news article.

The said article used words, which, in their natural and ordinary meaning meant, and were understood to mean, that, my client: 1. has committed a criminal offence or several criminal offences; 2. is abusing and/or misusing the office of Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs; and

3. is unfit to hold the office of Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.

Please be informed that the aforesaid publication is indisputably libellous and has caused my client great public ridicule, odium, contempt, embarrassment, humiliation, both locally and internationally and has caused disparage

to the office of Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, which he holds.

In the circumstances, I am instructed to demand, as I hereby do, that you publish a retraction of the libellous statements of and concerning my client along with an unreserved apology, giving same, equal or greater

prominence than that enjoyed by the libellous statements, within 48 (forty eight) hours from the date hereof. If you fail to do so, I have instructions to institute legal proceedings against you and the publisher of the HGP Nightly News.

Combined Opposition are in disarray WHEN Khemraj Ramjattan submitted the no-confidence proposal it was his delusional summation that there would have been automatic general elections, possibly the very next day, and the immediate end of the PPP/C Government. This is Ramjattan’s honest belief.

I mean this is what this guy has conjured up in that twisted mind of his.

He believes that you can one day wake up to the bright idea that you can be the leader of a country, so call a no-confidence vote on the legitimate Government, get them out and in turn set himself up in power. This is his thesis. This is what it boils down to. This is his firm belief.

Strangely enough, this is not the way any democratic or civilised society oper-

ates. Civilisation dictates that a no-confidence is submitted then that motion is tabled in parliament for a debate. This discussion goes back and forth with the Opposition putting forward their case why a no-confidence should be upheld. Then, it would be the Government’s turn to respond to the proposal tabled by the Opposition, something akin to a court case. Discussions

can take a very long time before a final vote is taken.

Like the Cabinet Secretary said, this can go on for months on end. So, I do not know what is all this hype about a no-confidence motion. This is not an overnight thing. We definitely have a long way to go. Amidst all of this there will be other pressing matters for the state to deal with, so this is the situation

we are faced with a long drawn out confusion which in most cases will lead us to nowhere.

Now, before we consider Ramjattan’s no -confidence nonsense, let us take a look into the Opposition’s camp to see their readiness for an election. As it stands, the two major comedians are at a zero position because they are in disarray with each one singing a

different tune. Ramjattan is demanding that general elections be on the table while Granger is calling for local government elections.

Contrary partners each asking for two separate things; each dancing on separate platforms. Which is it? Is it Ramjattan’s or Granger’s song?

Pandits have to live the message they preach

“IT is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.”Goethe Pandit Chrishna Persaud (JP, FILS) in a recent letter titled: “When will Pandits become professional?” made some candid and bold statements. It is good for people to fearlessly write and say how they feel, but we have to be very mindful of the import of what we write or say and the impact on other people.

Humble and simple folks look up to you, Panditji, for guidance and light and not mere fault– finding.

You indicated that you can see no relevance in my poem, “Seeking the Peace of Krishna.” It is shocking and sad that as a pandit, you cannot see the relevance of a poem seeking the peace of Shri Krishna in a troubled world. It would be irrelevant if we all were at complete peace (especially within) and the world was a place of peace and tranquility.

Now, more than ever, the world is more like a place of human savagery and cruelty rather than one of peace and harmony and people are overwhelmed with so many fears and anxieties. Seeking the peace of Shri Krishna is as relevant for all times as the air is relevant for our existence. The prayers from all religious traditions, bhajans,

hymns, etc, are impregnated with the idea of seeking the peace of God. And they do not lose their relevance, even if we recite them with our every heartbeat. Hindus have been reciting the glorious Gayatri mantra from

time immemorial. Does this mean that it has become irrelevant and that we should no longer write about it?

You have indirectly derided the performance of pujas by Hindus when you indicated that they spend too much time on costly pujas.

A puja (costly or not) is an expression of love of God. In this context, therefore, there can never be too many pujas or too much time spent on pujas. Please do not underestimate the power of pujas in transforming the minds and hearts of the devout worshippers. And even if there is no marked change, there is still the imperceptible positive effect of pujas on our overall being. What is most shocking is that some pandits who officiate at the pujas do not believe in the power and efficacy of the pujas, but

the humble devout Hindu does. Hindus perform pujas because of the joy and happiness they derive from the very act of doing the puja rather than for mere show or pretense. When we are immersed in a puja, the very perfume of the incense or camphor seems to transport us to a higher realm of divine calm and the bhajans seem to penetrate our hearts with pure joy and ecstasy.

Everything leading up to the puja (cleaning the house etc.) is an act of devotion.

All the objects involved in a puja are pregnant with inner symbolism and meaning and meant to establish a direct personal relationship with God. Even if we do not understand the mantras that are recited, we still feel the

ic position I would ask my reader’s to consider the following. Firstly, Ramjattan is utterly mistaken if he thinks he can act or speak with any authority than his erstwhile partner who commands four times the number of seats than himself. To have a mere seven seats and speaking like a dragon is utter foolishness. The truth of the whole affair is Ramjattan is going nowhere with that arrogant attitude of his and Granger rightfully clipped his wings on that note. Granger is saying

with only seven seats you cannot dictate anything here. This is my show.

The PNC/APNU Leader is also considering its seaworthiness where an election is concerned. Granger has carefully considered their flagging public relations among their own supporters after that fiasco at Congress Place hence his backpedalling off that no confidence general election bandwagon. He knows that the party’s chances are slim even among its own constituents so do the about thing.

Meantime, the PPP/C is deliberately consolidating its stronghold on the pop-

ther, and within his mind he would play divine musical instruments and sing and dance to his Lord in blissful ecstasy. We ordinary mortals need pujas to remind us of our essential spiritual reality. What would be the state if Hindus decided not to perform pujas? Then we will lose the very enduring values that Sanatan Dharma rest upon and would drift away from our prescribed duties.

Instead of bashing Hindu priests, it would be better if you offer constructive suggestions and analysis as to how they can respond to the needs of the community. Not only pandits but priests from all religious traditions are increasingly becoming more ‘money conscious’ and transactions – oriented. Religious leaders have

exploited their people for a long time now. But there will always be pandits and priests who are worthy of the tradition and are dedicated to the upliftment of humanity. It is important that our pandits become more community–oriented and be agents for social change. Our pandits should be in the forefront in the fight against violence, drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling, poverty, rape, suicide, infidelity, etc. And, by the way there are more than enough motivational speakers, and our pandits have to be more than mere speakers; they have to live the message that they preach.

spiritual fervour. We have to let go of the idea that we can only pray to God in Sanskrit or Hindi. The only language that Shri Krishna responds to is the language of love. We can pray to God in any language or even no language and it will reach the mark. A mere silent thought from the heart is prayer enough to move the Lord. When we become a Kabir Das, a Mirabai, or a Sankaracharya, then we can dispense with the performance of pujas. And even then, the glorious Shri Sankaracharya, who drank the ocean of knowledge with the palm of his hands, used to daily perform Manas Puja to his beloved Lord Shiva.

Unlike a formal puja, Shri Sankaracharya would make all the offerings within his mind with great concentration, and he went even fur-

ulace by opening up new avenues for jobs while pressing ahead with major infrastructural works that have been long overdue. Excellent political tactics in light of what is going on in the Opposition camp. They are taking full advantage of the confusion that presently rages in the Opposition.

So let me sum up our discussion today by saying there will be no general elections anytime soon because the combined Opposition cannot agree on a common strategy to oust the PPC/C. A house divided cannot stand.

There isn’t a single sphere of Cuban life where its effects cannot be seen.

The economic harm caused to the country, considering the depreciation of the dollar, as compared to the value of gold on the international market, has reached more than a trillion dollars, while at current prices, over more than 50 years, the blockade has caused damages totaling more than 116.8 billion dollars. The report highlighted the effect of these measures on Cuba from a social and national development perspective, among them, the impossibility of accessing vital medicines and difficulties obtaining equipment, technology and primary materials for special education, which affect more than 22,800 students.

On October 28, Cuba will once again present to the UN, the resolution project to end the blockade, which has received strong support from the international community

in the past. In the most recent vote (2013), 188 countries of the 193 member states denounced the U.S. policy.

Cuba, with the blockade or without the blockade, will always defend its sovereignty and right to choose its economic, political and social system.

We are convinced that

we shall continue relying on the valuable support and solidarity of Guyana in the struggle of the Cuban Government and people against the Blockade.

Cuba’s ‘Friendship’ Outreach —

NOW TO HELP COMBAT EBOLA Analysis by Rickey Singh THEY say that a friend in times of need is truly a friend indeed. Well, Cuba has been routinely demonstrating practical

examples of friendship to countries in need across continents, particularly in Africa and the Caribbean/ Latin America Region, ever since its Fidel Castro-led revolution 55 years ago.

Latest example was last week’s official disclosure that the administration of President Raul Castro is sending a medical team of 62 doctors and 103 nurses to help combat the

dreaded Ebola killer virus afflicting states across Africa.

C u b a ’s a n n o u n c e d friendship outreach coincided with a significant aid package of human and financial resources authorised by President Barack Obama for Ebola-affected African states.

On a per capita basis Cuba’s response would be assessed as quite significant and consistent with the

integration movement that’s CARICOM, could well be pleased with the bold, creative initiative pursued in the 1960s by an original quartet of independent states—(Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago)— to end the organised diplomatic isolation of Cuba by an arrogant U.S. administration.

Since then, Cuba has continued—even under the Presidential leadership of Barack Obama—to be treated with reactionary contempt in Washington when it comes to maintaining a hugely economically devastating trade, financial and economic embargo against that small Caribbean

as a friend to other nations in times of need remains legendary.

In welcoming Cuba’s anti-Ebola aid mission to Africa, the member countries of ALBA (Alliance for the Peoples of Our America), noted that the medical group comprises 62 doctors and 165 nurses.

The Cuban medical mission to African states afflicted by Ebola is a response to a request for assistance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and an appeal by UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon to President Raoul Castro. According to the UN almost one billion (USD) is needed to combat the Ebola outbreak.

APNU with little passion for the AFC no-confidence motion ‘APNU is trailing behind AFC in politicking, and this may very well be the case, will result in APNU losing its grip on the populace. Under these circumstances, the no-confidence proposal faces a range of uncertainties.’

IN NINETEEN days’ time or thereabouts, Guyana, for the first time in its political history, would witness a move by an Opposition to remove a Government through a no-confidence motion. The minority partner Alliance For Change (AFC) in the Opposition was the architect of the no-confidence proposal that at the outset had little attractiveness to the Opposition majority partner A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

The first mention in the press of the AFC’s no-confidence motion against the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government was in late June 2014, with APNU delaying its support for the motion by just over a month until August 5, 2014, and with the motion reaching the Clerk of the National Assembly on August 7, 2014. In fact, APNU claimed at that August 5 meeting that it did not have access to the full draft of the motion as well as any ‘whereas’ clause or clauses, and so it lent its support to the resolve clause of the motion.

The AFC and APNU having acted as symbiotic twins and constantly locked in a therapeutic alliance in parliament on so many issues would more than likely reach some consensus on something as the infamous no-confidence motion, prior to engaging the public with this matter. The fact that this unwritten tried and proven protocol was not observed may suggest some cracks in the one-seat Opposition majority mirror.

The PNC-dominated APNU is supposed to be the larger force and majority partner in the Opposition in parliament because of its 26 seats contrasted with its other half, the AFC with 7 seats. Notwithstanding these statistics, recently, the PNC descendant APNU remains a second- fiddle player to the AFC on several fronts, including the AFC’s no-confidence motion; perhaps, the AFC is now the better half of APNU. At the time of the PNC’s 18th Biennial Congress, APNU was not yet on board with the no-confidence motion. On the last day of the Congress, Region 10 Chairman, Sharma Solomon and former PNC General Secretary, Aubrey Norton withdrew their nominations for Leader of the Party and expressed a ‘no-confidence’ in the PNC elections because of their concerns that the process would disenfranchise many

delegates.

Then, it was only about a week later after the ruckus at that Congress and seemingly with the intention to create a diversion from the brawl that APNU’s Leader, David Granger summoned his team to discuss the AFC’s no-confidence motion, a motion that surfaced in the press just over a month earlier. APNU demonstrated little passion for the noconfidence vote when it first appeared in the press, as there was not a meeting of the minds between APNU and AFC on this matter, and also a display of little passion by APNU even when it did throw its support for the motion, by virtue of indicating that it did not see a full draft and that there was no ‘whereas’ clause. APNU’s behaviour on this count is surely a half-hearted embrace of AFC’s no-confidence motion.

And now that the infamous PNC’s 18th Biennial Congress has gone but not forgotten and all eyes are firmly fixed on the AFC’s October noconfidence motion, APNU has to now re-assert itself as the Opposition majority partner in parliament, in order not to be overshadowed by AFC. And APNU has taken the first step to regain its dominance in the Opposition. How so? APNU’s Granger gave President Donald Ramotar an ultimatum of September 15, 2014 to announce a date for local government polls. Ramotar did not acquiesce. And so, APNU is now calling for protest actions both nationally and internationally to support the holding of local government elections.

Interestingly, AFC is not a party to APNU’s decision to call for protest actions. Also, note that the no-confidence motion relates to the removal of the Government and the holding of General and Regional Elections. Given this situation, are APNU more concerned now with local government elections

and the AFC with General and Regional Elections? And is APNU still supportive and passionate about the AFC’s noconfidence motion?

It seems plausible to contend that APNU, but AFC probably less so, may be satisfied with the benefit/advantage of being a one-seat majority Opposition, and so particularly, APNU, may have a difficulty losing this benefit. In this case,

APNU may be experiencing risk-aversion (in my article in Guyana Chronicle on September 7, 2014, refer to implications of prospect theory to Guyana) whereby it wants to hold onto its benefit; and risk-aversion thinking would dissuade APNU for entertaining the thought of General and Regional Elections at this time.

And so, APNU’s risk aversion and re-assertion behaviours signal little passion for AFC’s no-confidence motion because it has greater passion for regaining lost ground within the Opposition and within the populace.

In fact, a case of where APNU is trailing behind AFC in politicking, and this may very well be the case, will result in APNU losing its grip on the populace. Under these circumstances, the no-confidence proposal faces a range of uncertainties.

Chaotic Opposition camp’s support for no-confidence motion wanes ALL does not seem to be well in the Opposition camp, as the struggle for leadership positions continues and key players seem to be rethinking their support for the AFC’s noconfidence motion.

The Guyana Chronicle has learnt that in spite of a fringed united front between the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), there was a breakdown of unity talks between the leadership of APNU and AFC. It is understood that Mr. David Granger and Mr. Khemraj Ramgattan met recently with other leaders

of their respective political parties and they failed to

that the APNU wants the Presidential Candidate slot

Khemraj Ramjattan

David Granger

reach agreement on a common slate. Reports are

in exchange for its support of the no-confidence motion,

while AFC was given the PM Candidate position. However, this did not find favour with AFC and APNU has since been trying to delay the debate on the no-confidence motion so as to buy time for the party to better prepare for the likely elections. The AFC did not agree with APNU having the presidential candidate.

It was after this failure that Granger resorted to a demand for Local Government Elections, hoping that the President would have made a decision to agree to the holding of the Local Government Elections. This would have

stymied efforts by the AFC to move its no-confidence motion, since it is not likely that Local Government Elections and General Elections could be held in the same year.

The AFC on the other hand moved ahead with Party Leader Ramjattan naming a leadership team of Moses Nagamottoo for President and Nigel Hughes for Prime Minister for the next elections. The difference between the two Opposition parties has led to speculations that their supporters are not motivated over moves to hold early national elections.

Their major shift of

tactics has led to the ‘noconfidence’ motion, which had raised eyebrows at first in the APNU Camp, is now proving to be a nightmare for both parties. They know they cannot back out now. Can they take the outcome?

In addition, large portions of the population have become disgusted over the Opposition’s moves to hinder progress in the country by various techniques in the National Assembly via their one-seat majority.

These contradictions in the camp of the Opposition parties are glaring and demoralising to their members.

GNNL bond razed, millions lost - Fire Service’s rapid response prevents greater damage

By Vanessa Narine QUICK response by the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) prevented the Chronicle Sports Club building from destruction by fire yesterday.

The building, on Lama Avenue, which houses the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL) Sports Club, and bond, leased in part to Pavnik Press, was engulfed in flames suspected to have started after a vagrant left a fire burning behind the building, at around 11:00 hrs yesterday.

The fire spread to the adjacent building, the Sports Club of GNNL, printers of the Guyana Chronicle newspaper, and, although not yet confirmed, the damage is estimated in the millions.

The receptionist and security guards reported seeing smoke and raised an alarm. The Guyana Fire Service was also alerted and responded in a matter of seven minutes with the arrival of four fire tenders.

One of the on-duty reporters, Mr. Derwayne Wills, rushed over with the assistance of his colleague reporters, with a fire extinguisher in an attempt to temper the blaze, but the effort proved futile as the flames had already engulfed a large section of the bond and began spreading to the Sports Club complex.

Firefighters on the scene managed to contain the flames to the bond. While the eastern wall of the Sports Club complex and one of the rooms, used as the GNNL Boardroom were damaged, the building was largely untouched by the fire.

General Manager of the company, Mr. Michael Gordon, noted that GNNL’s “internal emergency response mechanism” was activated promptly after the alarm was raised and he lauded the Fire Service for their “prompt” response.

“We managed to save the Sports Club building, which is adjacent to the bond. Although there is some fire damage, the Sports complex was saved,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Fire Service’s Divisional Officer, Compton Sparman, alluded to the “combustible” materials, mostly printing materials, ink and other printing machinery that were stored in the Chronicle bond, which he said caused much smoke and proved a challenge, in terms of control.

He acknowledged reports of the fire being caused by a vagrant, known as ‘Bruce’, who is frequently seen in the area, but declined to comment definitively on the cause of the fire.

Sparman and another Fire Service officer were seen questioning ‘Bruce’, who returned approximately an hour after the blaze started. The man vehemently denied leaving a fire behind the building alight. Soon after being questioned he was seen leaving the area.

Additionally, some three hours after the fire started the Guyana Fire Service was called back to the scene after GNNL staffers still on site reported that the blaze had been reignited, which they noted was a result of the combustible materials held in the bond.

“The investigations have started and there should be a feedback by tomorrow (today),” the Fire Service’s Divisional Officer said.

The Fire Service up to 15:00hrs yesterday were still on site to ensure the fire did not spread. A number of GNNL staffers, including several Senior Managers turned up at the scene yesterday after learning about the fire.

Immediately after hearing about the fire, President Donald Ramotar, who also holds the Minister of Information portfolio,

From right, GNNL’s General Manager, Michael Gordon, speaking to members of the media on site at the fire

made contact with Chronicle’s Editor-in-Chief (ag.) Mr Mark Ramotar, who briefed him on what was happening and the committed efforts that were being made to put out the fire and minimise the damage. So concerned was the President that, shortly before his departure for the United States yesterday afternoon, he again called the Editor for an update on the situation.

Several Government Officials, including Minister of Culture Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony; former Chairman of GNNL, Mr. Keith Burrowes; as well as CEO of the National Communications Network, Molly Hassan; Head of GINA, Neaz Subhan, and many other concerned persons made contact with the newspaper after learning about the fire.

Elderly woman loses home to massive fire at Middle Road, G/t.

THE elderly Anne Burnham lost her home on Friday evening in a massive fire that razed the two-storey building situated at Lot 168 Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown at around 20:35 hrs.

The 53-year-old woman had reportedly lit a candle on the upper flat, since there is no electricity at the home, and had gone to the lower flat. On her return upstairs, she found such intense flames spreading through the house that she had to run out of the building.

The Guyana Fire Service was summoned, but, on their arrival, the wooden building was entirely engulfed in flames.

Divisional Fire Officer, Mr. Compton Sparman noted that the fire call was received at about 20.53 hrs, and at least the East Ruimveldt and Central Fire stations responded.

The Guyana Chronicle arrived on scene to find firefighters working hard to contain the blaze. The firefighters managed to prevent it from spreading to nearby buildings.

GFS investigations into the exact cause of the fire are in progress. (Vanessa Narine)

Harvesting of second rice crop underway – RPA Head Seeraj HEAD of the Guyana Rice Producers’ Association (RPA), Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj, yesterday stated that harvesting of the current rice crop has started and is approximately 13 per cent completed.

“Harvesting is underway in all the rice producing regions except Region 5 (Mahaica/ Berbice),” he said.

He added that farmers in Region 5 have problems with the access dams to their fields, and the Mahaica/Mahaicony/Abary (MMA) authorities are expected to do something to facilitate the start of harvesting.

“In Region 2 (Pomeroon/Supenaam), harvesting is ongoing at full swing. Harvesting continues without any major challenges also in Regions 3 (West Demerara/ Essequibo Islands), 4 (Demerara/Mahaica) and 6 (East Berbice/Corentyne),” Seeraj said.

The RPA Head also noted that prevailing weather conditions have been “fairly” good for harvesting.

Asked about problems with the crop, Seeraj disclosed that a few acres of rice harvested already have shown some paddy bug damage.

“Some of the early season paddy showed paddy bug damage,” he said.

However, he said, the overall harvest to date indicates Dharmkumar Seeraj good quality rice, with improved yields per acre.

“We are also working with farmers and millers to ensure payments are made on time, with no challenges,” Seeraj said.

The production for 2013 was 535,212 tonnes, which was far above the original target of 413,000 tonnes and reflected a 27 per cent increase over the production in 2012. The average production per hectare was some five tonnes.

For 2014, production is expected to surpass last year’s target. (Vanessa Narine)

Government building world class centre for biodiversity at UG - can make Guyana a hub for people who want to study nature

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally

In picture, new and previous awardees pose with the Consultant of Wm. Fogarty Ltd. Mr. Oscar Phillips and CFO/Corporate Secretary, Mr. Sahadeo Ramkirath (back row with blue shirt) and other Executives of the Laparkan Group

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has disclosed that presently at the University of Guyana (UG) the Government is building a world class centre for biodiversity. “ After all our country is rich in biodiversity and therefore we can make Guyana a hub for people studying from abroad who want to study nature,” the President noted.

He also expounded upon concentrating more and more on science and technology, and improving the facilities at the University of Guyana.

The President also reiterated Government’s commitment to work hard towards achieving a higher standard of education across the country for all Guyanese.

He made this disclosure at the Ministry of Education annual Education Month Rally on Friday at the National Park under the theme: “Literate by Grade 4 through consistent home, school and community involvement.”

President Ramotar also urged the students to take full advantage of the education being offered to them as the world demands a strongly educated population. “Two decades ago, we used to spend only 8% on the social sector of our country; today that value is almost 30%,” he said explaining that the most important factor is the people and not just natural President of Guyana Donald Ramotar

resources, and the Government is fully aware of this, hence its massive spending on the social sector. With the largest amount being spent on education, the second on health, the Government, the President said, is aware that all of these sectors are intertwined, illustrating a holistic approach to the development of all Guyanese.

Mr. Ramotar urged the students to study hard especially those within the secondary school sector, noting that “in order to earn tomorrow, you have to learn today.”

The President spoke directly to the secondary school students explaining to them that “you are at a very important juncture in your life you are just on the eve of entering into adulthood; just on the eve of entering into our work force and you need to be ready and prepared to make a contribution to national development.”

The Education Ministry, the President said has had tremendous improvements such as the building of nursery schools in almost every community, the achievement of universal primary education and the push to achieve the same at the secondary level. He also noted that this year the Ministry has received the largest enrollment at the nursery level and that all students within the primary sector will individually be equipped with text books and proper furniture for all schools.

President Ramotar noted that the Government has not forgotten tertiary education: “We are also working on our tertiary institutions so that our graduates from the University of Guyana and other tertiary institutions are of the highest quality.”

The event attracted participation from 22 schools from Regions 3, 4 and Georgetown districts, with the students, teachers and other stakeholders marching from Parade Ground to the National Park, also performing were artistes Tennicia Defreitas and Melissa Roberts aka Vanilla, and the South Ruimveldt School which gave an athletic dance display.

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine September 15-20, 2014 Monday, 15 Two dead, two critical after pick-up turns turtle at Mabura TWO persons are now dead, while two others are critical after the F150 motor pick-up they were travelling in along the Mabura Road, Upper Demerara, Region 10, in the vicinity of Mabura Junction, toppled several times after it reportedly had a blowout. A senior police official attached to ‘E’ Division (Linden, Kwakwani, Lethem, and environs) told the Chronicle that the motor pick-up, GMM 7330, was travelling at a fast rate as the driver attempted to turn west of Mabura and lost control of the vehicle. The two dead persons have been identified as Raymond Khan, 65, of Cornelia Ida, WCD, and Jean Williams, 63, of Peter’s Hall, EBD, while those injured were identified as Ramnaratie Sooklall, and the driver, Michael Gordon.

Prisoner stabs to death fellow Mazaruni Prison inmate THE Guyana Prison Service is investigating the circumstances surrounding the stabbing to death of inmate, Theon Smith by another prisoner at the Mazaruni Prison. Smith was reportedly stabbed by fellow inmate, Akeem Edwards. The two men were reportedly involved in an argument which led to the stabbing during a fight. The men reportedly had an ongoing feud that got out of hand. Information suggested that Smith was charged with ten counts of armed robbery and was serving three five-year sentences. Edwards on the other hand was also at the facility for similar offences along with being in possession of a .38 handgun with matching ammunition.

Biker dies while trying to overtake lorry on Lethem trail INVESTIGATIONS are being conducted into a fatal accident in the Poke Bridge, Lethem Trail area, which resulted in the death of motorcyclist Lindy Ambrose, 27, of Haiwa, Central Rupununi, police said.

Initial investigations indicate that Ambrose attempted to overtake a motor lorry during which he lost control of the vehicle and was run over by the lorry. He was pronounced DOA at the Lethem Hospital.

The driver of the motor lorry was taken into police custody. **************************************** Tuesday, 16 Gov’t provides free public transportation FOLLOWING threats by some minibus operators to withdraw their service in order to press demands for fare increases, the Government has responded promptly by rolling out big buses to provide free transportation for commuters. The buses which are contracted from the Knight Rider Bus Service and complemented by buses owned by the Public Works Ministry will serve the following areas during morning and afternoon peak hours: East Bank Demerara, East Coast Demerara, West Coast Demerara and West Bank Demerara. Transport Minister, Robeson Benn said the buses will continue to provide the service as long as necessary.

He indicated that the Government is prepared to keep the system in place all the way to December if the operators fail to come to the bargaining table. The minister said that the operators have been forcing commuters to pay higher fares and in some cases double fares.

CARICOM strengthens Chikungunya, Ebola response THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is formalising recommendations to deal with any possible incidence of the Ebola virus and is ramping up efforts to respond to the Chikungunya epidemic. Chief Medical Officers and other technical health experts from CARICOM Member States met via video conference to rationalise the Region’s response to the two diseases. This meeting was convened by the CARICOM Secretariat in collaboration with the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA).

Among draft proposals that were fleshed out at the meeting was the achievement of the core competencies cited in WHO’s International Health Regulations. Discussions additionally focused on the need to urge a calm but prudent response when applying the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommendation with regard to the Ebola virus – no restrictions on travel and trade in areas where the Ebola transmission has occurred. The urgent need to put in place isolation facilities and resources to permit barrier management of suspected or affected cases of Ebola was also ventilated at the meeting.

Uncle shoots nephew over road dispute VICKRAM Ramdhanny, 31, of 92 Alliance was in a critical condition at the West Demerara Regional Hospital undergoing surgery after he was shot to the head by his uncle John Bahdur.

Ramdhanny, a licensed firearm holder was shot following several months of dispute over the use of a road in the Kamuni backdam, West Bank Demerara. Komal Ramdhanny, father of the injured man, said that he and his son were in the backdam working on a stretch of road which they usually use to gain access to their logging concession. The man said that his brother showed up with a gun and told him that he came for him, prompting Komal to sprint to safety. As the man ran, his brother decided to shoot Vickram in the head and then he fled the scene. **************************************** Wednesday, 17 Aunt allegedly fleeces overseas-based niece of over $3M FIFTY-SIX-YEAR-OLD, Sandra Rampersaud of Lot 2 Highbury, East Bank Berbice, allegedly obtained USD$21,574 from her overseas-based niece by falsely pretending that she was in a position to obtain for her acres of rice lands, house lots and a stall in the New Amsterdam market. The woman, who pleaded

not guilty to the charge in court was placed on $100,000 bail.

After being told that the lands and stall had been located, the virtual complainant commenced sending varying sums of monies via money transfers. The case has been fixed for September 30.

18-year-old refused bail for robbery under arms AN EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD, man of Lot 416 Laing Avenue, Georgetown, was refused bail for robbery under arms.

Kevin Denhart pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on September 15 at High Street, Kingston, Georgetown, being armed with a knife he robbed Ryan Harry of $15,000 in cash.

Police Prosecutor, Michael Grant told the court that on the day in question the virtual complainant was walking north along High Street when the defendant in the company of another person approached him, placed the knife to his neck and demanded money. The police went to Longden Street where the defendant was pointed out and arrested. Denhart will remain in jail until September 30.

Woman’s brutal rape, murder rocks Matthew’s Ridge THE normally quiet, close-knit community of Matthews Ridge, North West District (NWD) in Region One (Barima/ Waini), went into shock and grief following the brutal murder of a resident, Samantha Ashby.

Reports from the remote community said that the battered and nude body of the mother of one was spotted by schoolchildren, who had showed up at the Pakera Centre Ground to practise for upcoming school sports. Villagers told this publication that it appeared as though the woman was the victim of a brutal gang rape, since condoms were observed protruding from her anus and a bottle had been inserted into her private part. Ashby, 32, had been seen in a shop in the village on Monday night drinking with a group of men, who are said to be miners, after which her whereabouts were unknown. **************************************** Thursday, 18 Basis for higher minibus fares does not exist SECRETARY to the Cabinet, Dr. Roger Luncheon has said the “golden yardstick” of $1,000 per gallon for fuel has not been breached and hence the basis for an increase in minibus fares does not exist. The fare increases that have been introduced by minibus owners and operators have been “rejected out of hand” by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce and commuters have been urged not to pay them. “The cost of fuel remained below $1,000 per gallon. Reasoning with the operators and their representatives is an activity of little benefit. Consequently, commuters who have refused to pay the increased fares have essentially flocked and taken up residence at the car parks and bus parks, and Government has decided to intervene by providing free services for commuters on the East Coast, East Bank and over the river on the Bank and on the Coast,” Luncheon said.

Linden to 72-mile road users urged to moderate speed TROY Resources Guyana Inc. (TRGI) is calling on Linden to 72-Mile road users to moderate their speed and use caution as the road construction continues. TRGI is currently repairing the road from Linden to 72- mile junction and this road upgrade has so far led to a reduction in travel time, a press release stated.

However, the upgrading of the road has led to a massive increase in traffic and this is severely hampering road works beyond the Omai Crossing. Therefore, TRGI is appealing to truck drivers and other users of this road to temporarily minimise traffic on this part of the road and to instead utilise the alternative at Sherima crossing until the project is completed.

No snap elections, says Luncheon SECRETARY to the Cabinet, Dr. Roger Luncheon has dismissed the idea that snap elections would be the likely outcome of the Alliance For Change (AFC) piloted No-Confidence Motion in the Government.

“It wouldn’t happen. A snap election, as being mooted in elements, the media and elsewhere, that seeks to almost bypass, pre-empt the outcome of the Parliamentary Opposition’s NoConfidence motion by having a snap elections, I’m saying you can forget that. This administration does not propose to engage in such a futile course of action,” Luncheon said. The AFC’s No-Confidence Motion was formally handed over last August to Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, by the party’s General-Secretary; David Patterson. The Motion was proposed

by AFC Vice-Chairman, Moses Nagamootoo and seconded by AFC Executive Member, Cathy Hughes. **************************************** Friday, 19 New Providence residents complain about Courtney Benn’s “illegal occupancy” of reserve RESIDENTS of New Providence Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara are complaining about what they said is “the illegal occupancy of the neighbourhood reserve” by Mr. Courtney Benn, who had built a structure on the reserve four years ago when he was constructing his house. The residents want to know when will the structure be removed and when they will receive an acknowledgement of their letter which was sent to the Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC). One resident said that before the structure was put up, residents used the spot for various things. He said that no one since he made his report four years ago has done anything about it because “it’s like Mr. Benn own it.” $10,000 school grant for distribution by mid October – Education Minister AS THE Government continues to invest in Guyanese for a

brighter future, parents of children attending public schools are expected to start receiving the $10,000 cash grant by mid October.

Education Minister, Priya Manickchand said the ministry will use various means to distribute the grants in the different regions. The Ministry has been consulting with parents in various communities to garner suggestions and recommendations as to how the grants should be distributed. This initiative was announced during the 2014 national budget by Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, and up to 188,406 families of nursery, primary and secondary school children at public schools are expected to benefit. This programme will cost Government $2 billion. This cash grant is expected to ease transportation burdens on parents of school-aged children and will provide added impetus to raising enrolment and attendance rates.

Region 7 solid waste contractor pleads for stronger antilittering measures THE Solid Waste Contractor for Region 7 (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), Mr. Wayne Nurse, issued a plea to Local Government Minister, Norman Whittaker to develop “a comprehensive programme” in order to “stop or control the way people throw garbage around the [Bartica] community.” Nurse, who was awarded the contract through a competitive bidding process, asserted during a meeting with the Local Government Minister and other officials that the size of Bartica makes it easier to “bring the garbage situation under control.” The contractor regretted strongly that what usually happens is that after “I go out there with my boys” and commence clean-up works at the beach front, or the parks, “people go behind and throw the water bottles on the street corner.” **************************************** Saturday, 20 All primary school children will be equipped with necessary textbooks – Manickchand ALL children across Guyana in primary schools will be equipped with the necessary textbooks and all students in nursery, primary and secondary schools will now have adequate furniture in their schools, Minister of Education Priya Manickchand related recently at the commissioning of the St. Agnes Primary School. “All our children in every primary school across this country should have textbooks for Mathematics, English, Science and Social Studies in their book bags,” she said. She explained that over the last two years the ministry has procured books specifically to meet the needs of primary school students. “By next week every single school across this country whether you are from Charity in Region 2, Corentyne Coast, Buxton or Georgetown, we will have enough furniture for every single child attending that school to sit comfortably,” Manickchand assured.

Police begin special riot training exercise RANKS of ‘A’ Division earlier this week began several Special Riot Training sessions in anticipation of having to deal with crowd control and unauthorised mass street protests.

The ranks which were drawn from several policing locations within ‘A’ Division, had their training in the Brickdam Station compound.

‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken confirmed that the training is in keeping with the standard operating procedures of the force, that is, ongoing training. “We don’t know that our training is geared specially for any elections. What we know is that we need to ensure that our ranks are continuously trained to deal with all occurrences and those training will be conducted in and out of any particular season” the Commander said.

Man accused of strangling, suffocating wife to stand trial in High Court A FRIENDSHIP, East Bank Demerara man was committed to stand trial at the High Court for the unlawful killing of his wife. Thirty-one-year-old Vindra Krishna Siriram of Lot 34 Friendship, EBD, was accused of murdering his 25-year-old common-law wife, Shellyann Persaud, between June 9 and 10 at their Friendship home, by strangling and suffocating her in a bucket of water. Siriram will stand trial at the next sitting of the Demerara Assizes and was represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. Keavon Bess.

The Preliminary Inquiry (PI) was conducted before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and he was informed that a prima facie case had been made out against him. Three children, eight-year-old Lisa; Ashley, four; and Arianna Siriram were born out of the couple’s common-law union.

Approximately nine witnesses testified in the matter on behalf of the prosecution. The matter was prosecuted by Police Inspector, Michael Grant.

Increase in chikungunya cases ‘notional,’ Dr Luncheon CABINET Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon has said that Health Minister, Dr Bheri Ramsaran earlier this week reported to Cabinet on the “notional” increases of the dreaded Chikungunya virus. The increases are notional, he explained, because confirmation of the cases is a result of specialised testing in Trinidad. “And therefore, the clinical diagnosis must be supported by those sophisticated tests.” Luncheon said while it is true that symptoms of the virus are noticeably increasing, it is difficult in the absence of this sophisticated testing to determine if an individual has Chikungunya or not. “So soon as ya back hut ya a little, everybody run and holler Chikungunya. Soon as ya foot hut ya lil bit, Chikungunya. And therefore the complaints of Chikungunya just mushroomed and we have to take that into consideration. The bottom line is the test results have in no way gotten a surge the way in which the symptomatic cases have,” Luncheon remarked.

Patient heal thyself with medical help

By Keith Burrowes FIRSTLY, I would like to publicly express my gratitude to all those who have read my past two columns and have taken the time to contact me with their comments both positive and negative – all have been helpful, and some of the concerns raised warrant a response in a subsequent article.

Now, this week the topic is, patient self-education and is something which would be best introduced with a seemingly hypothetical situation.

Imagine someone with a chronic medical condition, something that has been bothering him or her for a fairly long period. That person eventually goes to a doctor and has the condition diagnosed and a treatment recommended. The condition does not change however, so the person goes to another doctor, is given a different diagnosis and a different treatment regimen. This situation continues to the point where that person has seen four different doctors and has been given four different types of treatment, all for one ailment. The person then goes overseas where another diagnosis is given and he or she has to undergo surgery to correct the problem which finally goes away or is significantly rectified. The situation outlined

above is not hypothetical. It is actually a summary of a real actual case.

Generally, in Guyana, the public has developed a dependency syndrome which is based largely on the reality of the lack of knowledge of the population in relation to the responsibilities of service providers. What people fail to recognise is that the social contract is a two-way thing, with the individual having arguably as much responsibility as the service provider in the provision of certain services.

Nowhere is the dependence on authority, or rather the presumed monopoly of knowledge by authority, more apparent than in the health care system, a situation that is not unique to Guyana.

What we have here however – and this is from a layman’s perspective – is an environment which encourages a situation where the onus of diagnosis and care is primarily on the doctor, with the patient accepting little responsibility for their own health beyond going to the hospital. Unfortunately, this is a situation that many patients in Guyana seem comfortable with.

One would think that, for chronic illnesses in particular, the patient is the one who is most knowledgeable about what is going on within his

or her body; the patient has a unique intimacy with the history of the headaches, the back pain, the occasional swelling, the nausea, or whatever is disrupting to how a healthy body should operate.

In the online research I’ve undertaken on patient self-education, an interesting quote that I came across is one by Dr. Patrick Golden, who runs the website AsktheDoctor.com.

“It is my belief,” said Dr. Golden, “that knowledge is power, and this has never been more evident than in patients’ self-education about their health matters.”

The main problem with the use of the Internet for self-education on health matters is of course the validity or quality of the information available. For example, an increasing amount of the information available to web surfers comes from the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org. But Wikipedia is an openly edited and contributed source of information which is subject to manipulation with false information. Also, other websites sometimes offer incorrect information on health issues, many of them just as a prank.

DHMO.org for example, offers information on the “dangerous chemical” Dihydrogen Monoxide. It is only after prolonged exploration

of the website that you realise that the chemical under discussion is really water, of which dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name.

Another restriction of the Internet as a health-education tool is of course availability. We are far from achieving the goal of universal internet access in Guyana, which means that focusing on internet access as the primary tool of patient self-education at present is not a viable option.

The most obvious source of patient self-education in Guyana, interestingly enough, comes from health care providers themselves. The magazines, pamphlets, leaflets, fliers and posters and wall charts which can be found in the waiting areas of most health care facilities in Guyana provide a wealth of information for anyone willing to dedicate time to reading them. In many instances, the leaflets provided are free to take away with you.

The best approach for a more progressive environment of patient self-education has to be a multifaceted one. Persons can learn to keep track of their pains and health related events, perhaps even to the extent of keeping a medical diary if practical. They also need to try to access as much information as possible in relation

Intelliguard Security: more than just another security service Michel Outridge INTELLIGUARD Specialist Security Services Inc. is a security company which has become of age and is certainly one with a difference. It is headed by Security Expert, Clairmont Roger Featherstone.

The head office is located at Lot 130 Carmichael Street, South Cummingsburg, Georgetown.

Featherstone is a Security Consultant / Proprietor/Managing Director and his business has been in existence since 1999.

The company was started several years ago on a meagre budget. Featherstone has just returned after completing part of an upgrade programme

which took him to the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM) at the University of North Florida and the Security Management Institute at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Featherstone, a fellow of professional bodies in India and South Africa, is also a member of the intelligence community in South Africa and a member of the electronic security community in India. He said he has one exam pending to qualify as a master dog trainer, the highest possible level, and one lesson to complete as a bomb -detection specialist, all of which could be done in six months.

He said the word specialist in the company’s name denotes just that: an outfit

which is possessed of a combination of specialist skills geared to suit the security needs of an ever changing society. He said he got initiated into regimental life during his early years in the Boy Cubs and the Boy Scouts movement. He spent his boyhood days at the east end of Charlotte Street, four doors west of what is now the Presidential Secretariat.

After a stint in the Guyana National Service and a short time working at sea, Featherstone returned to his first love-- security. He tried to go overseas during 1982, to attend a private security college in Canada or the USA only to find out that there was none.

He settled for the Na-

tional Guard Service, and after training as a dog handler which had been since childhood anyway, he worked extensively across Region 4 in various security settings.

In fact, the management of that entity told him if he ever started a security outfit he should name his company after that company – hence, his company’s name with a slightly different spelling.

Featherstone’s experience: Deployment of specialist service dogs, dog training, security training, investigation and intelligence gathering, security supervision, security management, security consulting, vocational trainer, all of these courses are offered by him at a reasonable cost.

Keith Burrowes to their particular ailment, both from the Internet and other sources. The more you know, the more you can work with your doctor to correctly identify and treat your condition. If the patient mentioned earlier in this article had better information on his condition, probably the very first diagnosis would have been the correct one.

Patient education serves to help both the patient as well as the health care provider.

There is the oft-quot-

ed biblical saying which goes, “Physician, heal thyself.” The context in which that statement was made implied that the physician possessed the knowledge necessary to cure himself of whatever was afflicting him. In today’s world, with so much knowledge potentially available to persons suffering from some ailment or the other, it is not unreasonable to say, “Patient, heal thyself with the help of the physician.”

$30M Nurses Hostel to be constructed at Kwakwani Hospital

A NURSES’ Hostel will be constructed at the Kwakwani Hospital in Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice) following Cabinet’s no-objection, granted last Tuesday to the contract worth almost $30M, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, announced last Wednesday at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference at the Office of the President, located in Georgetown.

In his budget presentation earlier this year, Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh had revealed that for 2014, $2.4B have been budgeted for construction and upgrade of health care facilities countrywide, including the Port Kaituma District Hospital, the Linden Hospital Complex, the Kwakwani Hospital, the Acute Care Facility at the National Psychiatric Hospital, and the Georgetown School of Nursing.

Additionally, $910M has been allocated for the specialty hospital, and $382.7M have been allocated for the purchase of medical equipment. The sum of $117M has been allocated to purchase 12 ambulances to augment the national fleet by some 40 percent.

Dr. Luncheon had in fact disclosed that health care delivery would be further advanced as $21.5B, the second largest allocation of the 2014 National Budget, were being directed towards the Health Sector for achievement of its strategic goals.

Meanwhile, the Government has launched the updated National Health Strategy, Health Vision 2020, for the period 2013 to 2020. This strategy seeks to integrate the delivery of quality, effective and responsive health services and prevention measures to improve the nation’s physical, mental and social well-being.

Dr. Singh had said that Government remains unwavering in its commitment to securing access for all to appropriate, promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services, without suffering financial hardship.

Linden couple robbed in bushes at Amelia’s Ward - wife raped, husband tied and locked in car trunk

By Asif Hakim A TWENTY–YEAR-OLD woman (name provided) of Canvas City, Wismar, Linden was raped and robbed by three men who were armed with handguns; while her 39-year-old husband (name also provided) of Amelia’s Ward, Linden was robbed and locked in his car trunk.

The incident occurred at about 22:05 hrs on Friday; and a senior police official attached to ‘E’ Division (Linden) confirmed that the robbery/rape did occur.

He said that, based on investigations, the couple was in the man’s vehicle which was parked in the bushes at the back of Amelia’s Ward when the three armed men approach the duo. The officer said the men robbed the duo of cell phones, jewellery and cash to the value of $50,200, before tying up the man and locking him in his car trunk, then raping the woman prior to escaping in the bushes aback of Amelia’s Ward.

The officer said the woman managed to collect herself and to open the car trunk and untie her husband before they reported the matter to the police.

She was taken to the Mackenzie Hospital, where doctors there confirmed that she had indeed been raped. Up to press time, she was still at the hospital recovering from her ordeal.

An Amelia’s Ward resident told the Chronicle that the couple would normally “hang out” at the back of Amelia’s Ward, and from time to time she would have seen them driving in and out. She said the bandits may also have observed the couple’s actions.

The resident said that each member of the couple was very good to persons in everything they did; they would even assist children in the area with anything they needed.

“I don’t know why (the bandits) did that to them. I believe it is some little stupid boys did that, because that’s all they fit for. I hope that the couple gets justice,” the resident said.

The officer said that after the incident was reported, a patrol was sent to the area to hunt for the criminals. He affirmed that justice would be given to the couple, and that the police would continue to investigate the matter.

Cabinet grants no-objection to construction of brick prison on Camp St premises -in keeping with holistic modernisation of GPS, now underway

CABINET has granted its no-objection to a contract worth almost $82M for the construction of a brick prison at Lot 12, Camp Street, Georgetown.

Head of the Presidential S e c r e t a r i a t , D r. R o g e r Luncheon, made this announcement at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing last Wednesday at the Office of the President, located in the city, and he disclosed that the no-objection was granted since last Tuesday.

Cabinet has just recently granted its no-objection to

a contract valued more than $78M that would see the progression of works on the Lusignan Prison, situated on the East Coast of Demerara.

D r. L u n c h e o n a l s o disclosed that Phase Two of the construction of the prison, which is specifically for the Trade Shop, is at a cost of $26.2M, while Phase Three construction is at a cost of $52.8M. The Ministry of Home Affairs is working to overhaul the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) as an institution, moving it

away from one that focuses solely on incarceration to one with a correctional purpose.

Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee had said the Lusignan Prison in particular would be transformed into a modern facility, and that this strategic plan has already been completed and approved by the Cabinet.

In fact, he said, work has already begun on modernising the GPS as a whole. A Standing Orders Committee has been established to compile standing orders for

Dr. Roger Luncheon the institution and various boards, all of which include civilians.

These Boards are as follows: the Guyana Prison

Minister Clement Rohee Service Recruitment Board, Guyana Prison Service Training Board, Guyana Prison Service Agricultural

Development Board, and the Guyana Prison Service Sentence Management Board.

Last year, out of its $129M capital works budgetary allocation, the Guyana Prison Service spent $122M on improving infrastructure, including construction of the brick prison at Camp Street; Phase Two construction of the Lusignan Prison, Phase One rehabilitation of trade shops, and procurement of cell locks. These projects are all intended to provide a more secure environment for both prison officers and inmates. (Telesha Ramnarine)

Education Ministry to ‘seriously monitor’ all students and teachers of the primary sector THE Education Ministry has announced that it would be focusing on monitoring both students and teachers in the primary sector under the theme “Literate by Grade 4 through consistent home, school and community involvement.”

At the recent commissioning of the St Agnes Primary School, Education Minister, Priya Manickchand explained that the ministry would be focusing on achieving quality learning outputs.

She explained: “If we have teachers coming in every day and teaching their hearts out, and we don’t measure frequently the quality of education and whether the students are learning, then we are getting nowhere.”

Minister Manickchand said the ministry’s focus would be on monitoring what happens in the classrooms through specific programmes that have been developed. “This does not mean we will have a big stick over anyone; but if we are to achieve our theme, then everyone has to play their part,” she said.

The Education Ministry will be focusing specifically on the primary sector, since, she said: “We believe that if our children are literate by grade 4, we have conquered half of the problem we face presently at the secondary education (level).”

Minister Manickchand further explained: “We are currently looking at whether the grades 2 and 4 examinations are being utilised and given the value that they initially were meant to give.”

She explained that the Education Ministry has, for some time, been monitoring the grades 2, 4 and 6, “because we found (that) when our children reach to grade 6, that’s when you learnt whether they knew anything or not on a national scale.”

The grades 2 and 4 examinations were introduced as diagnostic examinations.

“Write these exams, let us see what you don’t know from what you do; let us see where this child is weak. When that is sorted, the school and parents have to work with that child to make sure you take the child from that level to a higher level by working on the weakness, so when the child Education Minister, reaches grade 4, they would have overcome Priya Manickchand those weaknesses,” the Education Minister explained.

Minister Manickchand expressed that, with the diagnostic examinations, the students’ weakness should be recognised easily, and teachers can therefore assist that student before the Grade 6 Examinations (NGSA).

“We are therefore re-examining these examinations to see if the teachers are using (them) to inform themselves of the weaknesses of the children, and all teachers will be under serious monitoring in the primary sector,” Minister Manickchand disclosed.

Barama Company Limited celebrates Malaysia Day for first time here

THE Barama Company Limited (BCL) hosted a reception on Friday evening in commemoration of Malaysia Day 2014. Proceedings took place at the New Thriving Banquet Hall at Camp and Lamaha Streets in Georgetown.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, gracing the occasion with his presence, remarked that Guyana and Malaysia have enjoyed fruitful relations at a multilateral level, and those relations have grown since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1936.

He said the Malaysian Federation, established in 1953, was significantly strong and has proven to be of vital camaraderie; and that under the wise leadership of the Malaysian Government, Guyana has seen that country continue to make social strides in economic development and ensuring the well-being of its people.

Both Guyana and Malaysia have shared interest in economic trade and cooperation, the Prime Minister said, noting that many Guyanese have benefited from the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme.

He said also that there has been extensive cooperation between Guyana and Malaysia at the level of the United Nations (UN) among other places.

The Prime Minister said that cooperation has provided a platform for improved diplomatic relations between Guyana and Malaysia, and that he looks forward to the Malaysian collaboration on the crafting of the post-2015 development agenda, which will be a significant progress point for Guyana as a developing country as Guyana strives for a more equitable world.

The Prime Minister noted Barama Company Limited’s valuable contribution to the economic viability of Guyana as that company continues to play a vital role in sustainable development of Guyana’s forestry sector, and in creating and sustaining jobs.

He posited that “we are happy to be home to the employees who have left their homes in Malaysia to join the company workforce (in Guyana).”

Prime Minister Hinds also congratulated the CEO of BCL, Mr. Thomas Apun, for the initiative of bringing the Malaysian Heritage to Guyana, even as he commended Barama for establishing in the hinterland areas a major road network which has assisted many persons.

He concluded his address by wishing the people of Malaysia prosperity, acknowledging the presence of members of the diplomatic corps, and acknowledging the presence of Malaysian nationals at the 51st anniversary of Malaysia Day, held locally for the first time.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Barama Company Limited, Mr. Thomas Apun, in his address, underscored that Malaysia as it is today was formed in 1963, but gained actual independence in 1957 under the Federation of Malaya, formerly colonised by the British.

He spoke about the similarity between Guyana and Malaysia in terms of years as an independent country, noting that Malaysia is approximately nine years older than Guyana in terms of Independence.

Apun acknowledged the significant and continuous support being received for the industry and for Barama

flowing from stakeholders, especially the Government of Guyana, the civil society, the private sector, customers, workers and communities.

Invitees were treated to special Malaysian talent prepared by staff of Barama Company Limited, and to delectable Malaysian cuisine.

Other invitees to the occasion included Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud,

and his wife Mrs. Kamini Persaud; Honorary Consulate of Malaysia, Mr. Vickram Oudit; and others, among whom were staff of Barama, including its General Manager and other special invitees.

Malaysia Day is held on 16 September every year to commemorate establishment of the Malaysian Federation on the same date in 1963.

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES Challenges and Opportunities CONSCIOUS of the growing volume of E-Wastes generated in our society, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed Environmental Guidelines for Management and Export of Electronic Wastes Electronic Wastes. These Guidelines will be presented in a two-part series highlighting challenges and opportunities in managing E-Wastes in our local context.

We are using more electronics The term E- Wastes is short for Electronic Wastes generated from broken or outdated electronic devices.

Everyday, we use and have access to common electronic devices that are part of modern life. Computers, telephones and cellular phones are today, indispensable in everyday communication. Most homes commonly have television sets, MP3 Players, DVD Players and video games as part of the

usual entertainment fixture. Further, it has become second nature to capture important moments of life with digital cameras and camcorders that have long replaced traditional

still cameras for this purpose.

Today, people are purchasing and using more electronics.

At the same time, electronic technology continues to advance at a rapid rate. As such, electronic devices become outdated and are replaced more often. For example, whereas in 1997, a computer had a lifespan of about six years, this was reduced to two years in 2005! Currently, mobile phones have a lifespan of just two years!

We are generating more E-Wastes At the turn of the 21st century, the use of electronic devices, particularly computers, has skyrocketed in developing countries. In fact, in the last five years, Internet use has

increased by almost fifty percent (50%), rising from forty-four percent (44 %) in 2006, to sixty-two percent (62%) in 2011.

By 2030, it is estimated that developing countries will discard 400-700 million tons of obsolete computers annually. This is more than twice the amount of computer generated E-Waste estimated annually for developed countries.

Developing countries will therefore face an enormous challenge in the near future, to manage the high volume of E-Waste that they are predicted to be generate. This challenge will stem mostly from the lack of the necessary capacity to manage and recycle the hazardous materials found in

E-Wastes. In fact, at present most developing countries, lack the facilities and systems to appropriately dispose of the E-Wastes they generate. What often happens is that E-Wastes are mixed together with municipal waste and disposed; a practice that leads to pollution and poses a serious health risk.

For today’s observance of International Day of Peace…

CARICOM releases animation works on Love and Belonging THE Caribbean joins the rest of the world in observing International Day of Peace today and in joining with worldwide efforts for peace this year, the Caribbean Community has released the animated works developed by youth on the topic of love and belonging.

The animation video “Love and Belonging,” shows the stories told by youth of how people should live together in peace. The video also features the official CARICOM song “Celebrating

CARICOM”, written and performed by Dominican artiste, Michele Henderson.

The video was launched at the Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda in July 2014.

The video can be accessed at: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Ey-gTtFjixQ More than 20 young persons, aged 15-29 worked together, using their newly learned skills in animation to create animated short films in a community-based workshop, held on 28-31 July 2014 in Georgetown,

Guyana building on the principle that a young person’s sense of belonging begins at home where he is being accepted and loved.

The workshop engaged the youth in expressing the importance of respect, love and approval in developing a positive attitude and a feeling of self-confidence and identity.

The move was based on the fact that the Region, unfortunately, like the rest of the world, is confronted with a wide range of threats to peace and security, including

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

From page 20

We need to manage E-WASTES Some substances present in electronics though toxic do not pose a health risk, once well enclosed in the working device. However, if handled inappropriately or inhaled and ingested these substances are dangerous to health. The toxic materials present in E-Wastes when exposed to the elements (rain, sunlight, high temperatures) e.g. at disposal sites may react with components of other wastes and become toxic to the environment and persons in proximity. Also, when electronic wastes are burnt in the open, they release toxic fumes into the atmosphere which are toxic when inhaled by persons in the vicinity.

Chemical elements such as barium, cadmium, lead, lithium, mercury are associated with E-Wastes.

These have been linked to health effects, such as, birth defects and brain, kidney and liver and reproductive system damage. To address t h e i s s u e o f E - Wa s t e Management, a number of global initiatives have been undertaken that are linked to the objectives of the Basel Convention on Control of Trans-boundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal which was adopted twenty-five (25) years ago in Sweden. Among these initiatives are: • A Partnership

Action Computing Equipment (PACE) which was set up in 2008, to provide information on managing computing equipment from its collection point to refurbishment, recovery or recycle point.

• With the burgeoning mobile phone industry, the Mobile Phone Partnership Initiative (MPPI) was established to develop and promote environmentallysound management for endof-life mobile phones.

• With the use of electronic devices expanding in Africa an initiative, the E- Waste Africa Project was set up to enhance the environmental governance of E-wastes and create favourable social and economic conditions for small businesses in the recycling sector in Africa.

• In 2012, theBasel Convention also released the Draft Technical Guidelines for the Trans-boundary Movement of E-wastes and Used Electrical and Electronic Equipment which focus on the management of E-wastes as they relate to the principles of the Convention and provide general guidance on the trans-boundary movement of E-Waste.

While there are various global initiatives on-stream to manage E-wastes, we need to examine how these

apply in our national context and the challenges and opportunities the present.

This will be explored in next week’s article – the 2nd part of this 2-article series on the Environmental Guidelines for Management and Exportof E-Wastes.

Illiteracy poses threat to development, peace

AS WE celebrate Education Month in Guyana, the level of illiteracy is quite noticeable, as we often hear of illiteracy being prevalent in many underdeveloped countries throughout the world.

Its increase, if it materialises, poses a significant threat to the future of education, development and peace of any nation.

But have we asked ourselves why this has gone on for so long? And it was proven that the causes are triggered by many things.

Generally, people believe

that education uplifts them; it is the only path which can lead them to wisdom and liberation.

Education involves holistic development of the mind, body and soul. It does not concern academics alone.

Poverty Families of poor financial standing often discourage studying in their households, as they wish to engage the children in work as soon as possible to increase the families’ incomes.

Many do not realise that

uneducated workers cannot survive comfortably in a fast, changing world where competition is extremely stiff.

Guyana sees a significant percentage of its population living in poverty; this indicates that the poor do not have access to basic requirements of essential commodities and as such, are unable to provide for their children and themselves proper education.

Persons need to be taught or have to follow someone very closely. This usually costs money and the poor

families don’t have that kind of money.

Overtime, Guyanese have learned that depriving children of basic reading and writing skills limits their opportunities to a bare minimum and inhibits their capacity to contribute productively to society and to their own betterment.

All members of a society need to value and respect education, and develop the will to learn. Parents must inculcate such a will in the minds of their children, for only then will future generations be adequately equipped to take care of our world.

Facilities As the population increases, it is essential for the development of the country to do the same in an effort to neutralise the negative effects of illiteracy.

The Ministry of Education is trying

to provide adequate facilities for education, particularly in villages throughout the country and very few find themselves being left out.

Enshrined in our constitution is the provision that all Guyanese children should be provided with the necessary nursery, primary and secondary levels of education free of cost.

Over the years, more schools were built, more teachers appointed and trained to impart education to every young mind in the country. Without these basic facilities, we would have been hard pressed to eliminate illiteracy in the country.

Social blocks Many citizens pointed out that their education was hampered by social troubles, for example: child labour, early marriage, and even being marginalised by the caste system that had once

existed here.

Child Labour is rampant among families living in poverty, since a family may aim to increase its income by sending young children out to work.

Many children were forced into illegal, early marriages and then saddled with the responsibilities of managing a household, family and work on their young shoulders.

While this was the system years ago, the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Education has ensured that if not all, most of the population deprived of education and literacy are being catered for by the introduction of a number of adult education programmes.

Those deprived of education have now entered a trade of sorts, as well as ensuring that their children and grandchildren are ensured the finest education being offered by the Government.

Intense heat from prolonged dry season starts grass fires on ECD JUST after 11:00 hrs yesterday, a major grass fire was started at Beterverwagting, and shortly after, another was started at Courbane Park, Annandale, two areas on the East Coast of Demerara.

Reports are that persons saw smoke emanating from both locations, and upon further investigation, the fires were observed to be spreading rapidly as a result of the effect of the heat on the dry grass.

Both fires were started on empty house lots. Persons who spoke to this publication in both areas claimed that no one knew what had started either fire.

The fires blazed intensely for hours, and, up to press time, no report had allegedly been made to the fire station.

There has, however, been no report of property loss or injury sustained from either fire. (Savitri Laikram)

Trio hit half centuries as Developmental XI ...

From Backpage 58th over that was bowled

by Fredericks, posting his team’s 200 with the first from 57.1 overs and the 50 partnership between the two.

Essequibo granted Jacobs a life, when Mark Tyrell grassed a diving opportunity at long on off Adams, when the right hander was on 42 at 225 for 2, before Jacobs got his half century off 67 balls in which he struck six fours while batting for 76 minutes, pushing his team closer to victory in the process.

Dutifully, Hemraj fol-

lowed Hetmyer and Jacobs by posting his 50 from 91 balls which he faced whilst batting for 96 minutes, during which time he struck three fours and the same number of sixes, before Jacobs was bowled sweeping at Peters for 55 (88mins, 70 balls 6x4).

That ended Jacobs’ 106 runs third wicket partnership with Hemraj, who followed next, out hit wicket to Peters for 66 (108 balls, 118 minutes, 4x4, 4x6) with victory four runs away, which was achieved by David Latchaya (03) and Kemo Paul (06, 1x4), as Peters ended with 2 for 16.

At the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, Berbice resumed their first innings on 130 for 5 with Anthony Bramble on 38, in their quest to overhaul Demerara’s 442 for 6 declared, of which Rajendra Chandrika stroked 219 and Vishaul Singh 153.

However, despite Bramble going on to make 62 (138balls, 8x4) and Narsingh Deonarine 30 (59 balls, 3x4), with the pair adding 58 for the seventh wicket, Berbice folded for 218 off 72.1 overs. Paul Wintz (4 for 54), Zaheer Mohammed 2 for 29 and Christopher Barnwell 2 for 65, handed

Demerara a mammoth 224 runs lead.

Demerara opted to bat a second time instead of enforcing the follow-on, and reached 107 for 3 at tea with Trevon Griffith on 54, after his side lost Robin Bacchus (03), Shemroy Barrington (01) and Barnwell for 36 (46 balls, 5x4).

Demerara lost Singh after the break, caught at the wicket by Bramble off Devon Clements for 17 at 154 for 4, following his 47 runs fourth wicket partnership with Griffith who moved into the 80s with two sweetly timed drives for four off Cle-

ahead and, although Raheem Sterling replied before halftime, Morgan Amalfitano’s late goal condemned Liverpool to a third league defeat in five games this season.

Southampton are a point ahead of Arsenal after a 1-0 win at Swansea City, who had Wilfried Bony sent off in the first half.

Vi c t o r Wa n y a m a ’s 80th-minute goal moved the impressive Saints into second place with 10 points, the same as Villa who until Saturday’s first-half capitulation had been unbeaten.

Alan Pardew’s job prospects looked gloomy as Newcastle United trailed 2-0 at home to Hull City but two late goals from Papiss Cisse earned a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park where fans waved “SackPardew.com” posters.

A sensational Nikica Jelavic volley and a thumping strike from Mohamed Diame had put Hull in control but Cisse’s double lifted winless Newcastle off the bottom with three points.

“Ashley Westwood was being sick in the warm up and Andreas Weimann was getting it during the game.

Nathan Baker and Darren Bent were also out with it,” Villa boss Paul Lambert said.

“To play Arsenal you need everyone fit.”

There was little early sign that Villa were suffering during an even opening half hour.

It was the home side who almost struck first when Ciaran Clark’s header from a Tom Cleverly free kick was superbly saved by Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.

But former Real Madrid playmaker Ozil, taking up his favoured role just behind striker Welbeck, lit the touchpaper for an exhilarating spell of football by Arsenal.

Welbeck played a perfect through ball and Germany international Ozil made no mistake with a cool sidefoot finish.

Ozil’s inviting cross was then struck high into the net by a grateful Welbeck, who wasted chances against Dortmund in midweek and on his debut against Manchester City last weekend.

Villa were stunned and fell further behind a minute later when Cissokho diverted a Kieran Gibbs shot into his own net.

“We had a very, very good first half, we were in control and dominated the game,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the BBC. “I think the first goal was a big blow for Villa and they couldn’t recover. This was a very important result for us.”

NO ANSWER Liverpool had lost only two of their previous 23 meetings with West Ham in all competitions but had no answer to the fired-up Londoners on a drizzly night in east London.

They have now lost consecutive league games following last week’s home defeat by Villa and manager Brendan Rodgers admitted “it’s not quite happening for us”.

Winston Reid nodded West Ham ahead from close range after two minutes and Liverpool were reeling five minutes later when Sakho’s cross aimed for the head of Enner Valencia went directly into the goal with keeper Simon Mignolet stranded.

“We made a slow start and before we knew where we were we were 2-0 down,” Rodgers told reporters. “We should be better than what we were today. Our performance level wasn’t anywhere near what I would expect today.”

Sterling’s well-struck shot gave Liverpool hope of turning things around but apart from a couple of shots

by Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini in the second half they never really threatened a comeback.

In the day’s early kickoff Niko Kranjcar’s superb late free kick rescued a point for Queens Park Rangers in an entertaining 2-2 draw at home to Stoke City, for whom former QPR striker Peter Crouch was on target.

Burnley drew 0-0 with Sunderland, a result that leaves both clubs seeking their first win of the season.

ments in his previous over.

Griffith posted his maiden ton at this level, when he drove Royston Crandon for his ninth four to finish unbeaten on 102, from 149 balls and 351 minutes batting, with nine fours. Demerara, then, declared their innings close at 186 for 5, setting Berbice 411 .

Deonarine led his team’s bowling with 3 for 43, while at the close of the penul-

timate day’s play, Berbice were 33 for 2, with Kandasammy Surujnarine (04) and Keon Joseph 08 their not out batsmen.

When play resumes at 09:30hrs today, Berbice will be looking to avoid being bowled out by their host, even as they look to accumulate the 378 more runs needed for victory on a track that is conducive for batting.

Mohammed secures career-best spot, Ozil helps Arsenal trounce Villa, Liverpool stumble Dottin back in top ten

By Martyn Herman

LONDON, (Reuters) Mesut Ozil helped Arsenal shake off the hangover of a midweek pounding in Germany with a starring role in a 3-0 win at Aston Villa but stuttering Liverpool lost 3-1 at West Ham United in the Premier League yesterday.

Arsenal’s record signing came in for particular criticism after his team’s lame 2-0 defeat by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday, but he came alive before halftime at one of the London side’s happiest hunting grounds.

Ozil’s first away goal in an Arsenal shirt put them ahead after 32 minutes, he then teed up Danny Welbeck to open his account for the club two minutes later before an own goal by Villa’s Aly Cissokho ended the game as a contest after 36.

Victory extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run at Villa Park to 16 matches and lifted them to nine points from five games -- three points behind leaders Chelsea who on Sunday visit a Manchester City side in sixth spot on seven points.

Last season’s runners-up Liverpool, who unlike Arsenal enjoyed a winning start to their Champions League campaign this week, slipped to defeat against West Ham after conceding two goals in the first seven minutes at Upton Park.

Winston Reid and Diafra Sakho put the Hammers

PERFECT RESPONSE Arsenal have been balancing Champions League and Premier League duties for more than a decade, while for Liverpool’s players this season is something of a step into the unknown.

So Saturday’s results were not entirely surprising.

While Arsenal were woeful in midweek, they produced the perfect response to criticism of their display in Dortmund, although a sickness bug that swept the Villa camp helped Arsene Wenger’s men ease to victory.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Off-spinner Anisa Mohammed has climbed to a career-best second spot while stroke-maker Deandra Dottin has returned to the top ten of the batting rankings, in the latest ICC One-Day International Player rankings announced yesterday.

Mohammed jumped seven places to be just behind her top-ranked teammate Stafanie Taylor, following her outstanding performance in the just concluded four-match ODI series against New Zealand in St Kitts.

The right-armer finished with 12 wickets, including eight in the first three matches which formed part of the newly constituted ICC Women’s Championship.

Left-armer Shanel Daley is the third West Indies Women’s player in the top ten of the bowler’s rankings, installed at number five.

Dottin, meanwhile, has leaped three places to ninth, following decent returns in her four matches where she managed 176 runs including two half-centuries.

Miller, Akshar ace Kings XI chase THE Kings XI Punjab production line of batsmen was under threat of being shortcircuited but Akshar Patel strode in at No. 8 and clobbered 20 runs off the penultimate over to script a second successive victory in Mohali.

The situation had not been too dire, but that cameo erased all doubts of the outcome of the match. Barbados Tridents, as their coach Desmond Haynes said, fought fire with fire when they amassed 174, but their bowling in the death could not keep to their disciplines.

(Scores: Kings XI Punjab 178 for 6 (Miller 46*) beat Barbados Tridents 174 for 6 (Reifer 60*, Munaweera 50, Awana 3-46) by four wickets) Things had looked promising for Tridents when they got rid of Virender Sehwag and Glenn Maxwell in the space of 12 balls. Losing that much batting muscle with eight overs left and a run-rate climbing towards nine an over is never healthy. Unless you are Kings XI. David Miller played an innings that didn’t quite exemplify his ‘in the arc out of the park’ philosophy. He brushed past a few nervous moments against spin when Jeevan Mendis benefited from uncertain bounce . His timing was inconsistent, but found the

got 50 off 3.4.

Bowling had seemed Tridents’ strength coming into the tournament after losing Shoaib Malik, Dwayne Smith and Kieron Pollard. But this game turned that impression topsy-turvy.

Dilshan Munaweera, the Sri Lanka batsman, hammered 50 of his team’s 61 during the Powerplay.

There were slugs down the ground, scoops behind the wicket, drills over and through cover to keep up a frenetic pace. He wasn’t able to sustain it past the Powerplay but the foundation had been laid.

Raymon Reifer, th e Combined Campuses and Colleges batsman, bashed an unbeaten 60 off 42 balls.

He used his feet well to find his power, coming down the track before muscling the ball. He carted 40 from 26 balls off the spinners, who assisted his strokeplay by resorting to darts whenever they were attacked.

Kings XI’s bowling was the weaker link, but they could lay claim to being caught by surprise - Munaweera’s T20 strike rate before this game was 116. Reifer has only played six games across two seasons of CPL. Tridents though knew who they had at the crease and their dug out was buzzing throughout their batting innings. It wasn’t a few hours on.(ESPN Cricinfo)

Victor Macedo Memorial 80-mile cycle race on today THE 12th Annual Victor Macedo 80-mile cycle road race that is being organised by the Flying Stars Cycle Club is billed for today and is expected to attract most of the country’s top wheelsmen.

The annual event will roll off from outs i d e t h e M a c e d o ’s residence, Peter Rose Street, Queenstown, but will officially get underway from Homestretch

Avenue.

From that point, the junior and veteran riders journey to Long Creek on the Linden Highway before returning to Homestretch Avenue for the finish, while the veterans will turn back from the /Soesdyke/Linden Highway junction to finish on Homestretch Avenue.

The defending champion is Guyana’s Scotland Commonwealth

Games representative Marlon `Fishy’ Williams who won the event in three hours, 16 minutes 35 seconds last year.

Raynauth Jeffrey, Orville Hinds, Godfrey Pollydore, Shaquille Agard, Delroy Hinds, Paul Cho-Wee-Nam and Michael Anthony occupied the other top seven positions respectively.

The veterans’ category was won by Stephen Fernandes, second

was Ian `Dumb Boy’ Jackson, and third Junior Niles.

Agard who is a junior rider and who placed fifth overall was declared winner of the junior category, while Anthony and Hamza Eastman finished second and third respectively in the category.

The race is anticipated to conclude at approximately 11:15 hrs.

Marsh sixes seal last-gasp win for Scorchers ON February 7, in the final of the Big Bash League, Mitchell Marsh smashed a 12-ball 37 to take Perth Scorchers from 144 for 3 in the end of the 17th over to a 20-over total of 191 for 4. Scorchers won the match by 39 runs.

Two days later in the final of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge, Robbie Frylinck defended 14 runs off the last over to win the match for Dolphins. ( Scores: Perth Scorchers 165 for 4 (Simmons 48, Whiteman 45, Marsh 40*) beat Dolphins 164 for 7 (Zondo 63*, Behrendorff 3-46) by six wicket).s When Scorchers met Dolphins in the Champions League, the two match-winners in their respective domestic finals faced off. With Marsh on strike in the final over Scorchers needed 16 to win. Frylinck, attacking the blockhole remorselessly, had conceded only 16 in his first three overs.

For the first four balls, Frylinck’s length was un-hittable. Scorchers scored only four runs, and lost Ashton Agar, who simply couldn’t get any elevation on his attempted lap over short fine leg.

Fifth ball, the pressure told on the bowler. Marsh came down the track, and out came a waist-high fulltoss that disappeared over the leg-side boundary. It could have been called a no-ball, but the umpires - S Ravi and Rod Tucker - let it go.

Six from one, then. Frylinck searched for the yorker, and bowled a low full-toss. Marsh got under it and struck it so cleanly that he was running back to his team’s dugout, bat aloft, even before the ball had cleared the boundary.

With a combination of tight bowling from Frylinck and Kyle Abbott and a lack of fluency with the bat, Scorchers had come close to losing the match despite losing only four wickets in a chase of 165. Thanks to Marsh, they had squeaked over the line in an exciting finish that made up for some fairly tedious cricket till that point.

Craig Simmons, opening for Scorchers, had struggled to time his leg-side heaves, but had managed to keep the chase going at a decent run-rate with a 36-ball 48. Sam Whiteman had been a little more fluent on his way to a 32ball 45, lap-sweeping and driving inside-out through cover.

They put on 55 for the second wicket at close to nineand-a-half an over, but the partnership had begun with Scorchers on the back foot, having scored only 14 in their first four overs for the loss of Adam Voges.

Scorchers were still behind the required rate when Whiteman holed out in the 16th over, and Marsh - on 12 off 14 at that point - and new man Ashton Agar were left needing to score 47 from 25 balls.

With a mixture of decent placement down the ground and luck - Agar was dropped in the covers in the 18th over, and he found the third-man boundary via the outside edge off Abbott - they kept Scorchers in the hunt, but it still required a couple of nervy full-tosses and nerveless hits to take them over the line.

Man-of-the-Match Mitchell Marsh is pumped up after hitting 12 off the final two deliveries to see Perth Scorchers home

Durham beat Warwickshire at Lord’s to win Royal London Cup

DURHAM kept their heads in a nail-biting finish to beat Warwickshire by three wickets and win the One-Day Cup. Bears skipper Varun Chopra made 64 as the Bears, having been put in, were dismissed cheaply in bowler-friendly conditions for 165.

Durham were 12-2, but Mark Stoneman made 52 before spinner Jeetan Patel took 4-25 to revive Warwickshire.

Ben Stokes (38no) and Gareth Breese (15no) restored calm to see their side home on 166-7 in the 41st over Breese, one of only three survivors from Durham’s only previous one-day final appearance in 2007, struck

the bat that was in marked contrast to his heroic semi-final innings, when he blasted 164 off 113 balls to see off Notts.

Having lost the toss, the Bears had already avoided a couple of early scares when Will Porterfield edged the first ball of the fifth over to Phil Mustard, who took a good low catch.

Jonathan Trott laboured for 15 balls before being trapped leg before in Paul Collingwood’s first over to make it 29-2.

Collingwood then dropped Tim Ambrose at slip off Stokes on three before making amends without too much damage done when he himself had the Bears wicketkeeper caught at slip - a

similar sharp chance to his right snapped up by Breese.

The 50 came up in the 17th over when Chopra guided only the third boundary of the innings through extra cover, but Tim Ambrose’s dismissal led to three wickets going down for just five runs in 18 deliveries.

Laurie Evans gloved a lifter from Stokes to the safe hands of Breese at second slip, and although he then had Rikki Clarke dropped one-handed by Mustard in his next over, Stokes soon rearranged the Warwickshire all-rounder’s stumps to make it 68-5 C h o p r a a n d Wo a k e s helped to make a game of it with a sixth-wicket stand of 47, but a brilliant one-handed

catch running back by Scotsman Calum MacLeod - who spent two seasons on Warwickshire’s books in 2008 and 2009 - accounted for Woakes.

Shortly after, Rushworth returned to remove Chopra’s leg stump, and Patel perished at short third man after hitting Breese for six off the previous ball.

Breese collected his third wicket when Ollie Hannon-Dolby spooned to midon and the innings then ended three overs early when Boyd Rankin was run out going for a second run.

Warwickshire needed early wickets to stand a chance and Clarke struck twice, hitting Phil Mustard’s middle stump before having MacLeod caught at first slip.

PMCC deems BCB Selection Process a Comedy of Errors

By Calvin Roberts F O L L O W I N G LONG-serving Secretary/ Chief Executive Officer of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Hilbert Foster’s letter to the press as it relates to the non-selection of Rajiv Ivan by the senior selection committee of the Berbice Cricket Board, another club president has voiced his concern.

This time around, president of the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC) Vicram Seubarran who is an ardent cricket fan, has publicly aired his views, questioning the selection process used by the BCB selectors to arrive at the Ancient County’s one-day and four-day teams respectively.

Seubarran is of the opinion that the present crop of selectors, executing the duties in the absence of their Chairman Dharaniedranauth Somwaroo, selected the current players based on favouritism and not performance as should have been the criteria.

“Even though no first division cricket was conducted by the BCB for 2014, save for the Berbice River Bridge knockout competition which commenced last Sunday, the selectors still managed to chalk up a set of players for trials.

“I did indicate to the selectors that some players at the PMCC have been doing creditably over the years, and the Club

… calls for BCB and GCB to conduct Inquiry is appealing to them to have these guys attend the trials.”

He added, “We submitted names such as opener Joshua Ramsammy, senior fast bowler Yudendra Harrinarine who has been producing for the club over the years, Lloydel Lewis, former Guyana Under-19 player who has a coaching certificate.

Arif Chan, who recently was named best bowler in this year’s Guyana Cricket Board Under-19 Inter-county tournament, Manoj Looknauth, opener and first division skipper Davindra Thakurdeen and Under-19 fast bowler Dimitri Cameron’s names were all submitted for consideration.”

According to Seubarran, from the names he submitted and with the departure of Somwaroo to the United States of America, only Chan and Ramsammy were called to trials from PMCC, which further underlines his opinion that the Selection process for trials was done on a basis of “ who knows who” and not on a basis of gathering a wide cross-section of cricketers from the county, based on recommendations of clubs.

“The selection panel comprises two (2) executives from the Bermine Cricket Club, and one from the Young Warriors Cricket Club, who is also vice-president of the BCB and it is

important to note that no player from the Blairmont, Edinburgh Club, Upper Corentyne, Skeldon or even D’Edward who now play first division cricket, was at the trials.

“So I am forced to ask the question, “’Since there were no competitions for the year, what did the selectors use as a measuring stick for inviting players to trials, if not recommendations from the Clubs themselves?” asked Seubarran He believes that the criterion used was and still remains a questionable one, adding that “the invitations were merely sent in a manner which enabled them (the selectors) to do what they want, and not act in the best interest of our cricketers.”

“According to reports received, Chan, who is the most promising Under-19 cricketer at PMCC, was not given one single over to bowl at the Trials ... even though he was able to impress at the Under-19 Inter-county tournament, where he was named Bowler-of-the-Tournament.

Ramsammy, who was called as an opener, was placed at number six to bat on the second day of the trials, which clearly meant and indicated that the selectors had a planned agenda, and were sticking with it, confirming that the process was a mere charade to show the public that something was

being done to select a fair, well-balanced team from the Ancient County, when it was not so,” Seubarran stated.

He is of the opinion also that the team was selected and with no surprises, with individuals, some of whom failed to produce, but rather bare a close link/working relationship/friendship to members of the selection panel, adding that the score sheets can be perused to verify such claims.

“The score sheets reflected one thing, yet still the players who failed, because of their affiliation in some form or the other to the selectors, were selected. Even the standby list is cause for scrutiny.

How can we have a fair trial if the pool of players at trials does not represent a true cross-section of the County in which players from four or five of the clubs affiliated to the BCB, were omitted and where selectors are affiliated with clubs, and are bent on having their own selfish desires fulfilled?” asked Seubarran.

Like Foster, Seubarran believes that the presence of Somwaroo would have prevented such confusion, and such corruption would have never prevailed so PMCC is soliciting the intervention of Somwaroo, as it relates to the present criteria for selection.

“It may now appear that

the attendance at the Trials is not a prerequisite for selection for players, even though they have not attended trial sessions or played domestic cricket in Guyana,” said Seubarran.

He called on Samaroo and the BCB as well as the GCB to take a firm stand, conduct an urgent inquiry in the selection of the players, use the score sheets as a guide and

Hard hitting action expected in today’s Banks DIH 7’s Rugby tournament GUYANA’S best Ruggers will take to the National Park Rugby field today for the annual Banks DIH 7’s tournament from 12:00 hrs, which will have four teams in Pepsi Hornets, Yamaha Caribs, University of Guyana (UG) Wolves and the Guyana Police competing in the event hosted by the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU).

Wi t h d e f e n d i n g champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) out of the tournament owing to injuries to a number of their prominent players, the door is open for a new champ to be crowned and leading up to the competition, both Pepsi Hornets and the UG Wolves were confident of doing such.

the selectors a chance to see what the local players have to offer.

Guyana will be heading to Mexico later in the year in an attempt to recapture their NACRA 7’s title and according to Green “the tournament is the best way to train. When we have constant competition, the selectors will be able to weed out the

people who are fit from who are not. Remember, it’s actually 12 places and with the overseas players taking up at least seven or eight of those positions, competition for the remaining places will be hard”.

He added “It’s not that I’m going to be bringing in all the overseas players but it’s a fact that if you’re

going to represent your country at certain competitions, you will have to get your best players no matter what it costs”.

The tournament is fully sponsored by beverage manufacturing giants Banks DIH and has at stake, one of the most prized trophies in local rugby.

GCC girls and boys win opening Hikers hockey night fixtures

GEORGETOWN Cricket Club (GCC) girls and boys hockey teams won their opening engagements when the Hikers Hockey Club’s fourth annual indoor tournament bullied off on Friday evening at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.

Playing in the Woodpecker Products’ sponsored under 21 divisions, GCC’s vaunted girls team, showed their strength in depth by disposing of Old Fort 9-0 and Hikers 3-1 despite the absence of a number of their national players.

It was the lethal combination of Ashley DeGroot’s clinical finishing and Aliyah Gordon’s blistering pace that gave the Bourda girls a flying start in their title defence.

Hikers’ Latacia Chung also made her presence felt on the opening night scoring twice in her club’s 3-0 defeat of Old Fort.

On the boys side a much improved GCC put away Saints with relative ease 3-0 before battling to a 2-2 draw with a talented Old Fort side led by the magical stick work of Omar Hopkinson.

Defending boys champions Hikers, also signalled their intentions of retaining their title with efficient 5-1 and 7-1 victories over Old Fort and Saints respectively. The business end of this category will take place tomorrow from 14:00hrs.

The tournament is being run by the junior players of the Hikers and Saints Hockey Clubs as part of their junior development programmes, where youngsters learn all the intricacies of pulling off a tournament of this magnitude.

In addition to playing in the tournament, junior players are responsible for performing the duties of judges and umpires for all the games in addition to organising and staffing the food and drinks bars. The presentation ceremony will take place today at 18:45hrs at the National Gymnasium.

Chanderpaul hits entertaining 75 on debut for Floodlight GUYANA and West Indies history making middle-order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul certainly did not disappoint the scores of people who turned up at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) Ground on Friday night to watch him make his debut for Floodlight against Bel Air Rubis.

Newest Floodlight player Shivnarine Chanderpaul receives his team shirt from the youngest Floodlight player eightyear old Romeo Deonarain. Looking on approvingly is Romeo’s father Ricky Deonarain.

Lloyd likes Windies World Cup chances BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Convenor of selectors, Clive Lloyd, believes West Indies have a side capable of challenging at next year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

West Indies last won a 50-over World Cup back in 1979 with Lloyd as captain but the former Guyana and Windies left-hander said he was encouraged by what he had seen so far from the players.

“If you look at our side we have tremendous all-rounders, we have good spinners and we have batters that are just as good as any of the teams in the world,” Lloyd said here Thursday.

“Now we have a lot of one-day games before the World Cup, we’re hoping to get that momentum going and get the right combination before the World Cup comes around.”

At the last World Cup in India three years ago, West Indies did well to reach the quarter-finals before bowing out. India went on to win the title.

Next year, West Indies face tough competition when they do battle in Pool B against the likes of South Africa, India, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland, in the

Clive Lloyd tournament that runs from February 13th to March 28th.

Lloyd, who also presided over the Windies’ triumph in the inaugural tournament in 1975, only last month took up his new post as chief selector and hopes he can also meet with similar success in this role.

“I just want to see our cricket back on track, I want to see that respect for West Indies cricket again and with the youngsters we have I’m positive that can happen,” he said.

“It (West Indies) cricket has given me my upward mobility and I’m here because I love cricket and I love West Indies cricket and I want to see it rise again. I hope that in my last innings – because I’m in the homestretch – that I leave West Indies cricket in a healthy position.”

bis were plucked out for 174 all-out in their allotted 20 overs, setting up Floodlights to chase and Chanderpaul added his master-class touch to the game.

The 40 year-old Chanderpaul led his team’s chase with an entertaining knock of 75 and was supported by Patrick Khan (36) and Khalid Baksh who made an unbeaten 40.

Over on the other pitch, Mike’s Wellman defeated Parika Defenders by 14 runs. Mikes Wellman batting first made 198 and in reply Parika Defenders made 185 all out.

Apart from surpassing Sir Don Bradman’s 29 centuries, Chanderpaul is only the second West Indian, after former captain Clive

Lloyd against Australia in 1984, to score a Test century aged 40 or more.

He is also only the second batsman to remain undefeated throughout a Test series having played a minimum of three innings and scored 200-plus runs.

Jacques Kallis was the first to do so, against Zimbabwe in 2001.
