In the agriculture sector, the loan agreement will support the implementation of a flood risk management programme. “On behalf of the Government of Guyana, I would like to extend my gratitude for the support of the World Bank towards these two important sectors which Government views as vital to the development of Guyana. These agreements serve to reinforce the commitment of the current governing administration towards the demonstrable development of Guyana’s infrastructural and social sectors,” Dr. Singh said. EDUCATION One of the agreements signed is for a loan of US$10 M support of the Secondary School Improvement Programme which aims to increase enrollment in general secondary schools and improve teaching standards of mathematics at the
secondary level. The Secondary School Improvement Project forms part of the Government of Guyana’s long term initiative to achieve Universal Secondary Education by 2016. About 85 percent of young Guyanese are enrolled in secondary education. Guyana has already achieved universal primary education in keeping with the UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG). Dr. Singh at the signing noted that the two projects form part of the Guyana Government’s ongoing effort to ensure improved standard of living for all Guyanese. “The Government of Guyana has over the years demonstrated a firm commitment to education as a national priority and views access to a quality education as vital to the development of our country’s youth and to the general development of Guyana,” the Finance Minister noted.

Granger gets hostile reception in Linden - a PNCR traditional stronghold
Lindeners gave leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) a hostile reception when he visited the mining town on Friday. The vociferous protesters shouted: “You are not welcome in Linden!” The protest was outside the main building of the Mackenzie High School, which served as a venue for a consultation by David Granger. However, it is understood that a large number of Linden party members became agitated after arriving there, only to discover that the gates to the venue were locked, which they said indicated that they were uninvited. This caused the party members to become disgruntled as they stood outside the gates with placards and hurled remarks at the PNCR Leader and Party Coordinator Sandra David Granger Adams who were said to be conducting a private meeting inside. “Granger disrespectful to people. They come till here to lock we gate!” an angry party member shouted. “We are members of this party and right now are being disenfranchised;
we were disenfranchised at the 18th Biennial Congress, and now we are being disenfranchised again. We get lock out in Congress, and now we get lock out in Linden,” another stated. Holding placards bearing slogans such as “We are not accepting an imposed coordinator, no way!” and “Burnham and Hoyte must be turning in their graves, Comrade Leader,” the party members stood outside the gates and refused to be removed. Angry PNCR party member Maurice Butters, who was inside the compound, related after being let out, that he had been locked inside the compound, since he had arrived early at the venue for the consultation scheduled for 18:00 hrs. He said he went to meet with Granger, however, he was told that he could not do so. “We can’t be hypocritical in whatever we do. I mean we are talking about participatory democracy, consultations, but then only certain persons were invited. At least, I was not invited, even though I am a Councillor, I was not invited,” he said. Another protesting party member Leslie Gonsalves, said that the Linden party arm was dissatisfied with some of the actions of the PNCR Leader. “Several things we are dissatisfied with: the imposition of a coordinator on us and other issues we are willing to discuss. We would have invited him into Linden several times; he never turned up. “So after we learnt he was going to be in Linden today, we turned up to let him understand. Why come to Linden to have a
meeting and you can’t deal with issues which are outstanding? And when we turned up here, the gates are locked,” he said. Gonsalves said the protesters were not present to cause any ruckus but simply to make their voices heard. “Irrespective of what it might be or what it was or what it might be, we are members of the PNCR and it is not a one-man show, we are members just as Granger and the others are and we are entitled to better treatment,” he said.

project are the following: * 2,600 new students from vulnerable areas enrolled in general secondary schools. * A pilot technology-assisted learning in mathematics. * 600 secondary mathematics teachers trained, mathematics standards for secondary school teachers increased, and math kits distributed to 250 secondary schools. FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME (FRMP)
A second loan signed by Minister Singh is for US$11M to reduce flooding along the flood prone East Coast of Demerara. More than 300,000 people from the area will benefit from reduced flooding and climate risks as a result of the loan which forms part of the International Development Association (IDA) approved by the World Bank. Dr. Singh noted that close to 90% of Guyana’s population lives on coastal plain which is largely below sea level and vulnerable to the effects of climate change. He noted that in 2005, Guyana faced devastation from flooding that led to damages in excess of 60% of GDP. “The Government of Guyana is working to ensure that measures are put in place to ensure that the floods of 2005 and
such destruction to both human and physical resources never occur again,” Dr. Singh said. The Flood Risk Management Programme seeks to: * Upgrade critical sections of the East Demerara Water Conservancy dams and channels. * Improve drainage capacity in priority areas along the East Demerara coast. * Increase flood preparedness by installing instruments to monitor hydro-meteorological data.

Kurds urge more air strikes in Kobani; monitor warns of defeat By Ayla Jean Yackley and Tom Perry (Reuters) - KURDISH forces defending Kobani urged a U.S.-led coalition to escalate air strikes on Islamic State fighters who tightened their grip on the Syrian town at the border with Turkey on Saturday. A group that monitors the Syrian civil war said the Kurdish forces faced inevitable defeat in Kobani if Turkey did not open its border to let through arms - something Ankara has so far appeared reluctant to do. The U.S.-led coalition escalated air strikes on Islamic State in and around Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, some four days ago.

Credit: Reuters/Umit Bektas (graphics; Air strikes) The main Kurdish armed group, the YPG, said in a statement the air strikes had inflicted heavy losses on Islamic State, but had been less effective in the last two days.
A Kurdish military official, speaking to Reuters from Kobani, said street-to-street fighting was making it harder for the warplanes to target Islamic State positions.
Bombings kill 45 in Shi’ite areas of Baghdad and outskirts - police, medical officials (Reuters) - AT least 45 people were killed in bombings in Baghdad and its rural outskirts on Saturday as the government continued to defend the capital against jihadists who four months ago seized major cities in northern Iraq. Islamic State (IS) fighters, who took control of large sections of Iraq this year, regularly target Shi’ite districts in Baghdad and are penetrating surrounding farmland where Iraqi security forces and Shi’ite militias try to push them back. In west Baghdad, 34 people were killed by three car bombs in Shi’ite neighborhoods on Saturday evening, police and medical officials said.
A suicide bomber blew up his vehicle at a traffic roundabout in Kadhimiya, killing 11 people, three of them police officers, officials said. Another 27 were wounded. In the Shaoula neighborhood, two bombs were detonated on the same street just 30 minutes apart. In the first attack, a bomb in a parked car exploded outside an ice cream shop, killing eight and wounding 18 people. In the second blast, 600 meters down the same shop-lined street, a militant detonated his car, killing 15 people and wounding 44 others, police and medical officials said.
Ukraine leader says expects tough talks with Putin next week By Pavel Polityuk (Reuters) - UKRAINIAN President Petro Poroshenko said on Saturday he expected planned talks with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin next week in Italy to be difficult but said Moscow had a crucial role to play in bringing peace to his country.

Brazil says first suspected Ebola case tests negative (BBC News) BRAZIL says a Guinean man who had been suspected of having Ebola has tested negative for the disease. The man arrived in the country on Thursday and had been quarantined. Souleymane Bah went to a public health centre in the town of Cascavel in the southern state of Parana after suffering a fever. He was flown to the National Institute of Infectology in Rio de Janeiro but fears he was the country’s first case of Ebola infection proved unfounded. Health Minister Arthur Chioro said “all health protocols and procedures were applied efficiently and with great success”. Guinea is one of the three West African count r i e s m o s t a ff e c t e d b y Ebola.
Brazilian authorities sent an Air Force plane to pick Mr Bah up from Cascavel Mr Bah’s symptoms appeared on the 20th day after he left Guinea - within the 21-day incubation period. He no longer has the fever.
Mr Bah arrived in Brazil as a refugee and was granted leave to remain until 2015 by immigration police. Sixty-four people who
came into contact with Mr Bah, mostly in the health centre in Parana, were monitored for symptoms of Ebola.
Brazil drought crisis deepens in Sao Paulo
hostile battle over water resources, since Sao Paulo the economic power engine of Brazil - is trying to draw water from a river system that also serves these other two states. So far the crisis in Sao Paulo city has been managed by a policy of cutting water pressure at night and giving incentives to people who cut back on use.
Water levels at the Atibainha dam, part of the Cantareira system, are extremely low (BBC News) THE governor of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo has asked for emergency clearance to siphon the remaining water out of the main reservoir serving Sao Paulo city, which has almost run dry. After nine months of unprecedented drought, 95% of
the water has gone. Geraldo Alckmin, re-elected in last week’s elections, has been criticised for not imposing water rationing to tackle the crisis. Twenty-nine other Brazilian cities have been affected by the drought. In Sao Paulo’s main res-
ervoir, the Cantareira system, the fall in the level has exposed a cracked earth landscape littered with the wrecks of dozens of old cars dumped over the years. The drought has also affected other states. Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais are locked in an increasingly
Haiti: Hundreds attend ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier’s funeral (BBC News) HUNDREDS of people in Haiti attended the funeral of the country’s former ruler, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier. Duvalier was accused of corruption and widespread human rights abuses during his 15-year rule. He was not given a state funeral, but the Haitian government sent representatives to the service. Duvalier died of a heart attack in the capital Port-au-Prince last Satur-
day aged 63. Some of those who served under him - including retired military officers - friends and family members paid their last respects at the chapel of his former school. “Long live Duvalier! H e ’s n o t d e a d ! ” t h e y chanted during the service. President Michel Martelly wrote on Twitter last week that Duvalier was “an authentic son of Haiti”.

International Day of the Girl Child FEMALES, whatever their age or circumstance, are the most vulnerable members of the human family, despite the fact that they are the propagators and nurturers of mankind; and many have been the odious practices in societies across the world that have retrograded them to beasts and beasts of burdens. There has been a multiplicity of initiatives to address the plight of the universal girl-child and, since 2012, the United Nations has marked October 11 as the ‘International Day of the Girl Child.’ The day promotes girls’ human rights, highlights gender inequalities that remain between girls and boys and addresses the various forms of discrimination and abuse suffered by girls around the world. This year, the theme is “Empowering adolescent girls: Ending the cycle of violence” and to mark the International Day of the Girl Child, UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, in her message, highlighted the fact that violence against girls limits their opportunities and choices, and consequently threatens their futures and those of generations to come. She strongly calls for the ending of harmful practices, such as sexual violence, early and child marriage, and female genital mutilation in order for all girls to reach their full potential. This year, as the world celebrated the 3rd International Day of the Girl Child, 2014, Oneindia News reported that 30 students from Raffles Millennium International, Bangalore did something unique and beautiful. According to the report “The students, with the NGO Child Rights and You (CRY), painted a wall on Hosur Road, conveying a message to ensure that every girl child had the opportunity to have a safe, healthy and happy childhood. The
Raffles Students also made an on the spot installation to capture the interest of onlookers. Raffles Millenium International is a premier design school in India. CRY is an Indian NGO that believes in every child’s right to a childhood - to live, to learn, grow and play. Oneindia News elucidated: “This year, the International Day of Girl Child is celebrated with a focus on Empowering Adolescent Girls: Ending the Cycle of Violence. It has to be noted that, even after 67 years of attaining independence, India still grapples to provide basic rights to all its girl children. Speaking on the importance of the day and on the event, CRY Regional Director South, Suma Ravi said, “11th October is a day, together we need to reiterate our promise to the girls in our country and do everything to ensure they lead healthy, contented lives. It is great for us at CRY that we found a creative and enthusiastic partner with an institute like Raffles Millenium International to celebrate this day through our wall painting event.” Talking on the association with CRY Daren Kang, Director, Raffles Millenium International, Bangalore, said: “We are glad to associate Raffles Design Education with CRY to create a social impact in the city. We hope to use design and art as the platform to address the current child rights issues in the society & develop a socially minded generation of designers.” In 2011, a United Nations resolution established 11th October as the International Day of the Girl Child (IDGC) - a day that was designed to promote the rights of girls and address the unique challenges that they face. In 2012 the focus was on ending child marriage and in 2013 the theme was “Innovating for Girls’ Education” Appropriately Malala Yousafzai, the 17-year-old girl
Trotman cannot have it both ways
THINGS are indeed heating up in the Welshman versus Trotman rape and buggery matter. Temperature is at a giddying fever-pitch as Anthony Welshman has hired an attorney and is headed to court. It would be a messy and embarrassing experience for Trotman and crew, something that lawyer Manickchand quite rightly advised the accused of. But he is sticking to his guns in not meeting with the alleged victim half way; he is going to ride it out. Well, let us see where that stance would take him. In the meantime, depraved souls the likes of Benschop has joined the fray. He is on board trying to convince the victim to back away from his claims. He has been interacting with Welshman on a level that has made him very suspect in this whole affair. Instead of speaking to the accused and to work out a settle-
ment he tried the other route of bribing the victim into silence, while coaching him into implicating the PPP/C administration as the ones behind this rape and buggery allegation. It boils down to a situation of name and shame the government, they are the ones responsible. Apparently this backfired on Benschop, because his “hush money” game did not work, instead he is the one in the hot spot exposed for all he’s worth in a wicked and malicious plot. All of this is going to come out in court shortly. May I pause here to ask the question isn’t Benschop a social activist, one who should be championing the rights of the child? Instead of doing what he claims to be, he is in direct association with the accused. Not only is he in collusion but he is also concocting a wicked and malicious story implicating the government in this mess. These are
all serious offences that cannot be taken lightly. But such is the lives and times of perverted people. It has been an awfully long time since I’ve seen so many people embroiled in a “madman’s story.” It must have been an interesting episode to attract so many actors. Again, I would wish to inform Trotman about a similar situation here between the Speaker of the St Lucian parliament when allegations of rape and buggery was brought against him. In that case his own brother-in-law was the accuser. As soon as word got out into the open the speaker quietly and quickly resigned his post and the dust soon settled. Trotman needs to do the same. If he thinks the PPP/C would sit and allow him to hold office then he is utterly mistaken. You cannot have it both ways NEIL ADAMS
widely known for vigorously defending the right of women to have an education, has won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. She is the youngest winner. She will share the award with another child-rights activist, Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year-old Indian man who has been working to eliminate child trafficking and exploitation. Yousafzai gained international prominence in October 2012 after she and two other girls, Shazia Ramzan and Kainat Riaz, were shot on a school bus by members of the Taliban, which actively seeks to repress women’s education. Yousafzai spent time recovering in England, where she now lives. In announcing the award, the committee paid tribute to the importance of education for the world: “It is a prerequisite for peaceful global development that the rights of children and young people be respected. In conflict-ridden areas in particular, the violation of children leads to the continuation of violence from generation to generation.” The committee also noted the role that children have in improving their own educations: Despite her youth, Malala Yousafzay has already fought for several years for the right of girls to education, and has shown by example that children and young people, too, can contribute to improving their own situations. However, despite ongoing interventions to prevent atrocities being committed against girl children worldwide there is merely a dent on the global problem of female exploitation and oppression; and so the momentum not only needs to be maintained, but accelerated so that, hopefully sooner rather than later this agonising phenomenon can be erased from the global landscape.

I’m Sick of Talking Points – Part 2 By Keith Burrowes BEFORE I get into this week’s particularly vexing topic, I want to spare a moment on something far more positive – Malala Yousafzai (my Hero)The name itself might not trigger anything because for most of us it is a difficult one to remember. What people do remember is her story, that of a young Pakistani girl who was shot in the head last year for speaking out against the oppression and barbarism of Taliban rule in her community, including the restriction against young women being able to attend school. Instead of silencing her, the attack turned her into an international celebrity and attracted attention and support for the very cause she was championing. This year, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Peace. She did not win, but was recently invited to the White House to spend time with US President Barack
Obama and his family. She will win next year. In a statement she issued after meeting with Obama, himself a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, she was as tactful as she was direct: “I thanked President Obama for the United States’ work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees. I also expressed my concerns that drone attacks are fueling terrorism. Innocent victims are killed in these acts, and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people. If we refocus efforts on education it will make a big impact.”
principled and flexible arguments, but essentially on static talking points, particularly from the Republican side, which are beginning to sound increasingly hollow in the aftermath of the government shutdown. But what is a talking point? In terms of the US political system, a talking point is usually an encapsulation of a key aspect of a more complex issue. For example, if the larger topic is abortion legislation reform, one

Simply delivered, with a clarity of message, in a country that right now seems in dire need of such skill in the management of its public affairs. It is amazing to me, and I am an avid follower of the American political system, that one of the major crises in the history of US administration has been negotiated not on nuanced,
and room for manouevre that it needed. Here is what I am afraid of – while it is clear that Cruz’ star is on the decline, it may well be that the people behind him (the Koch brothers and the Tea Party extremists), might have just refined a formula for disruption in the most influential democracy in the world. All they have to do is come up with a set of talking points, however flawed, on any issue; give it to a shameless politician to adopt as their

I understand the temptation of sticking to talking points as a means of communicating a particularly complex policy position to people who might not otherwise understand the issues at hand. However, what is particularly vexing to me is that in the recent conflict between the Republican Party and the Democratically-led White House, the larger issue of healthcare reform seems to have completely disappeared and replaced entirely replaced by the talking points. For example, when former advisor to the White House, Van Jones, recently confronted Ted Cruz – the Republican who has led effort to defund Obamacare, and who engineered the shutdown as a means of trying to
this is what can only be considered the complicity of the media in propagating these talking points. Without the media reporting on them, talking points would largely remain notes on some politician’s notepad. It is the media coverage that gives these talking points life, that seems them spreading from person to person in any meaningful way. Ted Cruz and his vocal minority have been handed the level of leverage that they enjoyed in the lead-up to the shutdown largely because an uncritical media have reported what they have to say as fact, which in turn resulted in the deliberate or miseducation of a large enough section of the populace, a demographic that was then used as a weapon against the rest of a political party more interested in staying in office than in confronting an issue with the sort of consideration

Health Ministry embarks on Ebola sensitising campaign
By Shirley Thomas
THE Ministry of Health has upped the ante and is currently working with haste to implement information and communication strategies aimed at sensitising the general public on the dreaded Ebola virus. The strategy, which involves designing and circulating messages via print, electronic and social media, was addressed at a meeting the Director of Epidemiology hurriedly called with staff of the Disease Control Department on Thursday. The meeting came following confirmation of the first two deaths from the dreaded Ebola virus outside of West Africa, as well as the isolation of potential cases identified in Europe. News of the deaths of the first case in Dallas, USA, on Wednesday and the United Kingdom’s first case on Thursday, sparked new zeal and prompted the meeting which was said to have been greeted with enthusiasm. One week ago, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Shamdeo Persaud, shared with the media, new measures/approaches being put in place to prepare Guyana for the detection of any possible cases with the virus. Airport measures Dr. Persaud said that stricter measures are being implemented at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) so as to protect Guyana against the deadly Ebola virus. He said that the Ministry of Health is now encouraging pre-boarding screening at the CJIA, so that passengers who have suspected symptoms of the virus will not be able to board the aircraft. Conversely, screening of incoming passengers will be done at the airport. Additionally, the Ministry is in the process of obtaining two facilities at the CJIA. One will be an examination room which will be used to examine persons who are suspected of being contaminated with the virus. The other is a special hangar that will house an aircraft that touches down at CJIA, and is deemed to have persons with the virus on board. The aircraft will be quarantined there until medical
officials give the passengers proper screening so that they can be cleared. Meanwhile, as the ministry moves closer to activating infection control protocols, a register has been set up at the Ogle International Airport and the CJIA to list persons who are coming with passports from Africa. This is so that they could keep track of those persons to ensure they are not developing any symptoms of the virus. Fortunately for Guyana, the CMO observed, there are no direct flights from Africa to Guyana, so if someone should show symptoms of the virus, they will be dealt with before they reach Guyana. In the meantime, it is still to be worked out what protection will be in place for those medical personnel interfacing with the persons Dr Shamdeo Persaud being monitored or screened for the virus. Misdiagnosis It was earlier reported by Reuters that a British nurse infected with Ebola may have caught the deadly virus after playing with a one-year-old boy whose mother had died in a treatment centre, but who himself had initially tested negative for the disease, according to a medical colleague. “The baby, Sellu Borbor was tested again after he developed a fever and tested positive for Ebola the second time around. He died on August 24-the same day that the nurse was diagnosed,” the report said. Beware The Ebola virus is spread through close contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. Symptoms of Ebola can
include fever, aches and pains, vomiting and diarrhoea. But more recently, there have been reports of bleeding from the eyes and noses of infected persons. And in Spain, the nurse who was infected by accidentally touching her face with her glove was said to have developed lung problems, among other things, as time progressed. GPHC staff training At the Georgetown Public Hospital, training of staff is being undertaken so that they would know how to handle persons who have been infected with the virus, as well as how to properly use the necessary protective gear. Additionally, the Ministry of Health is exploring the possibility of introducing scanners to detect fevers, but according to Dr. Persaud, the complicated scanners are expensive, so they are hoping to acquire a handheld version so they can scan persons who appear to have any signs of the virus. Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Community Health Organisation (ECHO), Royston King, in a press statement recently called for an aggressive preparedness and public education programme on the deadly Ebola virus. “We in Guyana and the Caribbean ought to be paying very careful attention at what we are doing here, and constantly evaluating our own preparedness in the event of the presentation of any signs or symptoms of Ebola by anyone. Indeed, it is a frightening situation, particularly in circumstances where we may not have the medical and other technologies and other critical resources to manage any such situation,” King urged. He added: “Furthermore, ECHO wants to see airport and other allied staff trained on how to approach such cases, a shared data base among concerned ministries and agencies established, and the competencies and capabilities of environmental and public health bodies enhanced.”
COPA Airlines opens ticket office in G’town
By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally
ON M o n d a y O c t o b e r 13, Copa Airlines will officially open its City Ticket Office (CTO) in Georgetown, to provide even better service to Guyanese passengers. In a press statement, the airline noted since starting service to Guyana on July 11th, it has experienced unprecedented support from this destination; the service has been well received by the travelling public, who has shared positive reviews. “The opening of the office will allow for even better service for Guyanese passengers as it will provide an additional avenue, through which passengers can manage their reservations on Copa,” the airline said. The CTO, which is located at 212 Camp Street, Georgetown, is a
fully functional office with customer agents that will be ready to assist passengers in planning their itineraries within the Copa Airlines and Star Alliance networks, and performing all related tasks to ticketing, including changing dates, usage of vouchers and providing refunds, among others. “It is a rather exciting moment for us to open the doors of our local commercial office to be able to service the needs of both the business and leisure customers,” Country Sales Manager, Nadine Oudkerk said.

Prevention infection programmes mandatory, Ebola or no Ebola ‘The health care delivery systems all over the world have to always be in a state of preparedness and readiness for any eventuality. And it is not sufficient for health officials to say that a virus is unlikely to reach some countries. This kind of statement invariably is a camouflage for not having proactive prevention infection measures in place.’ The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strengthening health systems must become a number one pronounced emphatically on the 2014 Ebola as the largest health priority and a mandatory prerequisite for planning for epidemic in history, and indicated that at October 10, 2014, prevention infection programmes, especially in the case of the there were 8,399 total cases with 4,033 total deaths from Ebola virus.

Telimele, with a population of 300,000, is about 270 In 1981when the AIDS virus was first identified in the kilometres from Conakry, the capital of Guinea. Some type of U.S., health officials were caught with their pants down. national preparedness plan was activated as Ebola started to There was not even a semblance of preparation for the spread across Guinea. And so the staff of the 44-bed district AIDS onslaught that was to come. In those early days of hospital in Telimele then presented themselves for training the AIDS pandemic disaster, the U.S. health care delivery system was not in a state of preparedness, with no welldefined sense of direction, and had no short and long-term planning (Bartlett, 1987, p.3). But although in those early years in the U.S., there was problematic planning and preparedness for the AIDS pandemic, the scientific advances were well ahead of the planning and prevention mayhem, thus (Bartlett, 1987, p.3): AIDS was first identified in 1981; the etiologic agent was recognised in 1983; the building blocks of HIV’s DNA New York’s authorities say the city is “particularly well prepared” and RNA were stated in 1985; the Retroviral treatment was made public in 1986; and vaccine in infection prevention. This hospital already had quality clinical trials started in 1987. These dates show that there certification for prevention infection and control. was some reasonable control and treatment over the AIDS In May 2014, a woman from Sogoroya near to Telimele pandemic between 1981 and 1987 in the U.S., largely because went to see her sick uncle in Conakry. When she returned, of sensible health systems in place in that country. she went to the Telimele Hospital with symptoms akin to Today, it is difficult to conclude that there is some typhoid fever. In a few days, she returned to the hospital and reasonable control and treatment over Ebola. Ebola was first died after the hospital admitted her.

There is still no approved Centre with similar symptoms. vaccines or medicines for Ebola, 38 years after its discovery. At that point, the Telimele district hospital then moved Indeed, the AIDS pandemic has had more favourable treatment into action, suspecting the presence of Ebola at Sorogoya, and than Ebola, for today there still is no approved anti-Ebola so its laboratory team visited the village to acquire samples. vaccines or medicines. The laboratory tests confirmed that Ebola had arrived in the Given the unavailability of anti-Ebola medicines, Telimele area.
Medécins Sans Frontières (MSF) took swift action and created an isolation section in the Sorogoya health centre, and quickly constructed a treatment facility not far from the health centre. The WHO then made available some experts for coordination, surveillance, and data collection. The Telimele people established a crisis committee comprising of Telimele’s leaders, and this committee promoted this message: “Come early for treatment – you survive; you come late – you die.” The local health workers had strong rapport with the community and thus people trusted them.
Rapport of health workers with the community was critical for people to comply with the public health advice. There also was a 14-person contact tracing team that monitored the health status of 250 contacts. By the end of July 2014, Telimele was certified Ebola-free. In developing proactive prevention infection programmes and applying the lessons from Telimele’s ground-breaking fight against Ebola, health officials should define what prevention is. In a restricted sense, prevention entails stopping a disease in its tracks before it becomes a reality; but today, prevention also is used to present measures that would suspend or reduce disease progression; and so there is now primary prevention (susceptibility stage where a vulnerable person has less disease exposure) , secondary prevention (preclinical and clinical stage where there is quick detection of disease and treatment), and tertiary prevention (advanced disease stage where there is relief to disability arising from the disease) (Mausner and Kramer, 1985). Health officials do not have to wait for something like Ebola, to plan for and establish prevention infection programmes. Such activity must be a number one health priority. References: BARTLETT, J.

According to police, Ramdhani was stabbed in the region of the chest, by a man with whom he had earlier had an argument while walking along Well Tank Dam, in Miss Phoebe, Port Mourant, also on the Corentyne. Thus far, the Police said, the suspect has not been arrested. Thousands disappointed no held-over slated for GuyExpo this year Many have expressed concern that there wasn’t going to be any held-over this time around, as in previous years past. Many milled around, holding their breath and hoping for some sort of an announcement saying that the authorities had decided, at the last minute, to extend the event by another day or two. But alas, hope as they might, the magic words never came, leaving them no alternative but to trudge wearily home, taking with them bitter-sweet memories of the night, and event, that was. GuyExpo is arguably the largest and longestrunning exposition and trade fair in all of the Caribbean. Guyana aiming for accountable management of revenues from natural resources GUYANA is aiming to become a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), the global coalition of governments, companies and civil society working together to improve openness and accountable management of revenues from natural resources such as forestry and mining. In EITI-compliant countries, companies in the extractive sectors such as mining and forestry are required to publish what they pay to governments and governments are required to publish what they receive from companies. These figures are then reconciled by an independent administrator. Disclosing the Guyana movement towards EITI membership last week, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment (MNR&E), Robert Persaud, said that an international consultancy team will soon commence a Scoping Study for the Potential Adoption of EITI. ************************************** Tuesday 7 Guyana Fire Service celebrating 40th Fire Prevention Week FROM October 5-11, the Guyana Fire Service will be observing Fire Prevention Week, the 40th observance since the initiation of the week. This year’s events are being observed under the theme “Fire Safety, a national priority, get involved.” School lectures and exhibitions will be held as part of raising awareness of the dangers of fires and the importance of fire prevention. All citizens were encouraged to take preventative measures during Fire Prevention Week and beyond, to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from the hazards of fire, thereby ensuring the safety of neighbourhoods, and assisting the brave men and women of the GFS who risk their lives every day to protect citizens and their property. Sex video with secondary school students upsets Education Ministry EDUCATION Minister Priya Manickchand confirmed that the Facebook video with two boys and two girls engaging in sexual activities are indeed students of a secondary school in Georgetown, and according to her this is very disturbing to her and the Ministry. Speaking with this reporter on the issue, the minister said an investigation was immediately launched into the matter. Last week a video showing four students who this newspaper later learnt are from Form Five of the school, which was also identified, hit Facebook and went viral over the weekend with well over a thousand shares and hundreds of comments. MCYS employs five culture, youth and sports organisers in Region 9 REGION NINE will soon be experiencing a surge of activities, all aimed at improving the quality of life and wellbeing of youth in the region. This was made possible with the appointment of five culture, youth and sports organisers who will be based in the five sub-regions/districts. These officers, employed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, are tasked with ensuring the planning and organisation of both social and training activities. The five organisers are Elvis Campbell from the South Pakaraimas, Thaddeus Marco from Shulinab, Sherman Aguilar from Aishalton, Norbert Salty from Kwatamang and James George from Moco Moco. Due to the nature of the terrain, each person was presented with a motor cycle. ************************************** Wednesday 8 Welshman’s attorney says his client was offered $3M –to say PPP/C engineered sexual assault allegations JOHNNY Welshman, who has levelled accusations of sexual assault against Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Raphael Trotman, was offered a $3M settlement, on the condition that he publicly states that the Ruling Party asked him to make the allegations. The explosive disclosure was made by Welshman’s attorney, Mr. Peter Hugh, in a statement.
According to the attorney, threats on Welshman’s life have since been reported to the police. “These threats upon Mr. Welshman’s life could well be constituted as attempting to pervert the course of justice, and I trust that the police will investigate these threats to my client’s life, and unearth the individual or individuals responsible,” he said. Consumers body opposes GT&T request for landline rates increase THE Guyana Consumers Association (GCA) has submitted additional arguments to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to show that the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T)company is earning much more on its landline services than it is stating and therefore its requests for rate increases are totally unjustifiable. According to GT&T’s application made earlier this year, the USowned company wants increases in charges for applications, installations, transfers, additional jacks, wake-up calls, 3-way calls , voicemails, call forwarding, reconnection fees, and for peak and non-peak calls. The rate increases requested range from between 20-60 percent on the current charges. In a supplement to an earlier memorandum detailing its objections to rate increases by the GT&T, the GCA argued that if all the landline earnings are added to the earnings stated by the GT&T, then the present charges and rates should be drastically reduced rather than increased. The GCA argued that GT&T had failed to add some US$ 90M to its landline earnings; this money being the interest obtained from the landline revenue used to finance its cellular services. Engineer fined for uttering forged document, conspiracy to commit felony A 29-YEAR-OLD engineer of Lot 20 Dennis Street, Georgetown, was fined $100,000 by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on charges of uttering a forged document and conspiracy to commit a felony.

The other charge said that between August 1 and 29, at Georgetown, he conspired with person or persons unknown to forge one Guyana employment visa, purporting to show that same was issued to him by the Government of Guyana. ************************************** Thursday 9 Rodney CoI extended until January 2015 THE public hearings of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the death of former Working People’s Alliance (WPA) co-founder, Dr. Walter Rodney will likely continue into 2015, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon announced.

Rebounding gold prices trigger optimism AFTER a steep drop last Monday gold prices rebounded Thursday to regain trading above USD $1,200 an ounce. Spot gold prices closed Thursday at USD 1226.75 an ounce, the equivalent of GD 255,703 up from the low of USD 1193.25 equivalent of GD 248,460 on October 6 last. Some analysts feel that the only movement now is upwards towards breaking through the current solid technical resistance level, or cap, of USD1,250 an ounce. A local analyst explained the fall below USD1,200 an ounce last week was because many investors had expected the Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the United States, to increase interest rates in the U.S. Opposition using one-seat majority to stall progressPresident THE gaining of the one-seat majority by the Parliamentary Opposition was seen as a milestone in local politics, however, gaining of numerical superiority, in the National Assembly has not been put to effective use by the combined opposition, according to President Donald Ramotar. Speaking during an interview with the National Communications Network yesterday, the President said that with their new found position in the National Assembly, the Opposition should have seized the opportunity to further Guyana’s developmental agenda by working with Government to ensure that key transformational projects were undertaken. “They have never used their one-seat majority to say, PPP, you are not building enough houses, you are not building enough roads, they’re cutting our budget, and the emphasis from them is obstruction, not to use their one seat majority to try to push us to do more,” he stated. Nothing to show for the massive PNC-created debtPresident Guyana’s economic performance has been lauded by several financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). Since gaining office, via the country’s first free and fair elections, under the theme’ Time for Change; Time for rebuilding’ the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) has steered the country’s economic fortunes to greater heights. Looking back at the country’s dire economic straits under the PNC administration, President Donald Ramotar said the PPP knew it was bad while they were in Opposition, but didn’t realise it was so bad. The President said that the massive amount of debt was worse than many had imagined. With debt exceeding 700% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product and repayments to creditors at 94% of each dollar earned, the current administration had its work cut out for it, so to speak. US$96M of development financing mobilised for Guyana –Finance Minister signs historic agreements with IDB, EU in Washington D.C to benefit electricity and water sectors FINANCE Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh signed two project agreements yesterday in Washington D.C with the InterAmerican Development Bank and the European Union (EU), mobilising a total of US$96M of development financing to benefit the electricity and water sectors of Guyana.

At GMSA business dinner…
Opportunities for ‘green economies’ are proven – Dr. Jagdeo
By Vanessa Narine EMERGING economies, stemming from the response to climate change, are proven and these need to be mainstreamed into plans for economic sustainability by developing countries. This was according to former President, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, during his address to representatives of the diplomatic corps and prominent stakeholders of the private sector at the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) business dinner on Friday night at the Princess Hotel’s conference room. During the session, held under the theme ‘A green economy – Opportunities for the private sector in Guyana,’ Dr. Jagdeo explained that the “catastrophic” consequences of climate change necessitate a review in the planning process of development of countries and bemoaned the lack of concrete action to address this problem. He highlighted how a single natural disaster can “wipe out” more than half of a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), resources that would be difficult to re-accumulate in a short space of time. The former Head of State added that countries face the additional challenge of debt servicing commitments, which could “suck the life out of their” economies. He said: “Today because we have addressed that variable, the size of the debt is about 40 per cent of the GDP, one of the lowest in this Region and we use four per cent of revenue to service that debt… this variable is getting worse every single day and so even without addressing climate-related challenges, those countries have seen a significant loss in welfare and future prospects.” To this end, Dr. Jagdeo stressed that action must be taken now to align climate change response to the economic plans of developing country; otherwise these countries will suffer in the long-term. NEW SECTORS The former President added that climate change response, which includes mitigation and adaptation initiatives, must be used as an opportunity to build new sectors. “There is a new spurt of growth, this can come from the green sector,” he said.

The former President also highlighted the advantages of having a green growth model, which aligns Guyana’s economic progress with sustainable development objectives that provide opportunities for using financial resources better to meet development needs and reducing the plan to maximise on the opportunities that exist. Dr. Jagdeo highlighted six new sectors where these vulnerability of socioeconomic systems to environmental opportunities are present, which include, hydro-power, solar change and resource constraints.

Regional electrician briefly detained for attempted sexual assault -tells victim ‘my kiss might be better than your boyfriend’s’
By Leroy Smith DEORAM Ramdass a regional electrician was briefly detained by the police in Region 1 (Barima/ Waini) after investigators received information that he may have attempted to sexually assault a nurse from the Mabaruma Hospital on Wednesday night as he was dropping her home in his car. The Guyana Chronicle
was told that the young nurse worked late into the night at the Mabaruma Hospital and at the time she was ready to go home there were no hospital vehicles and the electrician who also works as a taxi driver in the region offered to take her home. Sources said the driver requested a kiss from the nurse but she refused and according to information reaching this newspaper and which the police were told
is that the man stopped his car along the roadway near a pool of water and he again asked for a kiss and the nurse refused. The electrician then reached over and asked the woman to kiss him stating that his kiss might be better than her boyfriend’s kiss. The nurse refused the kiss and protested even as the man continued to touch her inappropriately.
When she reached home she informed her parents of what transpired and another elderly relative travelled with the young nurse to meet with the Regional Health Officer who was in Moruca at the time attending a Regional Democratic Council meeting. However, the Divisional Commander said that the matter was never reported and it was only after ranks heard of the incident that they
approached the nurse and she told them what had happened and provided a statement. According to the Divisional Commander, the woman told the police that she was not touched by the man and indicated that she did not wish to have a police matter since she felt that no offence was committed by the electrician. Ramdass is one of the students who is serving a five-year contract with the
Government after he was awarded a scholarship to Cuba to study electrical engineering. Sources at a Government Ministry related to this publication that the young man is one of the persons who senior officers usually have difficulty dealing with because of his approach to his work and the manner in which he deals with his peers and functional superiors.

Five-month old dies at GPHC -mother claims child’s condition misdiagnosed By Asif Hakim FIVE–month-old baby girl Eimi Patterson of Graham Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, died last week Sunday at the Georgetown Public Hospital after paediatricians reportedly misdiagnosed her condition as Chikungunya. According to the child’s mother Cindy Bess, the child did not have the mosquito-borne disease, yet she was given medication for it. Bess said that her baby had a cough, which resulted in the appearance of a skin rash from time to time. She added that the child did not have a cold nor runny nose. The mother said that on Wednesday October 1, after the rash was becoming worse, she took the baby to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where a paediatrician told her that her baby had Chikungunya. “After he gave me the medication for the Chikungunya, I used it on my child because I had faith in them. Couple hours after my child started to get more sick, so the next day I took her to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, where she was diagnosed for a lung problem which causes her to breathe faster,” Bess said. The mother said that when the baby was sent home, her condition continued to worsen and the very next day she took the baby back to the GPHC, where she was told this time that the baby indeed had a breathing problem.
The baby was then admitted until last week Sunday when she died. Bess said that after the baby had died, the paediatrician told her that the cause of the baby’s death might be due to weak lungs, which had caused the baby not to breathe properly and the baby’s heart rate to drop. “The Georgetown Hospital is responsible for my child’s death, because they give me medication for Chikungunya which was wrong, and which made my baby even more sick. They need to accept this,” the mother said. Bess is asking the relevant authorities to let the trainee paediatrician work along with the professionals since one of them told her she is a trainee. She said that trainees do not know everything and that might have been the cause of the death. A post-mortem was conducted on the baby on Friday, but no results were given to the mother since they told her that it is for the police, according to Bess. She said she was told to collect the results yesterday around 07:00hrs. “This is my first child, and I cannot stop crying, it’s hurting me to see she died this way, even her father is distraught and cannot get over the issue,” the mother said. After the body is released to the family, a quick funeral service will be held, according to the mother. When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of GPHC said that they are awaiting a full report from the head of the paediatric unit before they could make any comment.

By Leroy Smith SIX persons, including a husband and wife, were on Thursday held at gunpoint by four bandits, three males and a female, during a daring mid-morning ro b b e r y i n A l e x a n d e r village where the couple operated a goldsmith shop. Theresa Ali, 38 years, a housewife and her husband Intikhab Ali, 39, a goldsmith were pounced upon by the bandits just about 11:30 hours on Thursday morning
while customers were in their establishment, Kumar Jewellery. The woman was upstairs in her living quarters while her husband was downstairs with workers and customers. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle on Friday, Crime Chief Leslie James confirmed that the incident did take place and that during the incident the couple was relieved of millions, while other goldsmiths who were in the shop working at the time, as well as customers, were
relieved of their belongings and valuables. The bandits also took away a .32 firearm according to the crime chief. Asked if any of the persons were masked, James related that three of the bandits were not while the other was masked. He said that while the men robbed the persons who were present at the Lot 4 First Street Alexander Village property which houses the business place and living quarters of the couple, the female bandit used duct tape
to bind her victims. Up to late yesterday afternoon three persons including one woman were picked up on Friday and were up to Saturday still in police custody assisting with the investigations as the police seek to have the robbery solved. The police are looking to have them finger printed and profiled and they are likely to be placed on an identification parade.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday, proprietor of the business, Chetram Singh related that the discovery was made when he showed up for work. He said that although the business place was opened for business since 06.00hrs the robbery was not known to workers since the persons entered the horse racing service from the roof of the building.

The other four persons who were robbed were identified as 30- year-old Charrandat Paul of Block 12 Non Pareil East Coast Demerara. He was robbed of a Nokia cell phone worth $66,000; Thirty-year-old Goldsmith Ricky Ronald of 93 First Street Grove East Bank Demerara was robbed of two gold rings valued at $70,000 and a Samsung mobile phone.
The other two persons who were present and robbed were Latiff Persaud a 22-yearold Goldsmith of 18 First Street Alexander Village, and Pooran Ramoutar, a 32-yearold manager of another gold establishment and of 19 First Street Alexander Village The former was robbed of a mobile phone and a silver band, while the latter was robbed of eight pennyweight of 14 carat gold valued at $40,000 and three pennyweight of 12 carat gold worth $16,000.
He was quick to point out that the computer had no sensitive information and as such the operations of the facility was not compromised by the stealing of the laptop. In relating what he saw on the camera, the businessman said that the persons seemed to know the geography of the building since they entered from a part of the building that is not protected and monitored by the security service which provides security surveillance for the premises. As the men moved around the building they were seen hiding their faces by either pulling their caps, rags and turning their faces from the camera as they carried out their acts with the use of plastic gloves. The men carried out their operations so cleverly that they were only picked up by two of the cameras which covered the building and for the other cameras which they came into contact with the wires were severed causing the devices to become inoperable. When the discovery was made the police were called in and they dusted the place for finger prints and other clues which may lead to the capture of the men who carried out the act. Meanwhile, Singh said he is not too optimistic that the police would be able to apprehend the men given the way they carried out the act. The Guyana Chronicle was told that the businessman had cause to fire an employee recently who had worked with him for years. That employee was found to be stealing from the businessman this publication was informed.

Bus driver sustains serious injuries in collision with roaming bull
A minibus was badly damaged Thursday night after it slammed into a bull that was roaming on the public road at Evergreen on the Essequibo Coast. According to reports, the minibus was proceeding to Charity at a fast rate of speed just past midnight, when its driver slammed into the bull after crossing over a concrete bridge between Maria’s Delight and Evergreen. Reports said the bull which has been averaged to weigh more than 300 pounds was killed on the spot on impact. The minibus which came to a halt some 100 feet away from the accident scene was extensively damaged at its front. The
driver known only as “Devin” of Bounty Hall village is said to have sustained serious injuries. Reports said his feet are broken and he was rushed to the Suddie Hospital and transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Drivers and riders on the Essequibo Coast are again calling on cattle farmers to keep their animals away from the public road. One driver said when rice fields are being ploughed, cattle farmers allow their animals to walk out from the “backdam” during the night and roam the public road. Rajendra Prabhulall in Essequibo.
Prison rape case dismissed - as prosecution fails to file statements within 45 days
New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs dismissed a charge of rape against Krishendat Seeram after the prosecution failed to file statements within 45 days, as required under the Sexual Offences Act.
Seeram, a remanded prisoner, allegedly raped a fellow inmate on June 25 last. The alleged 40-year-old victim of the Amerindian Reservation of Orealla, had been remanded following a charge of attempted rape,
when the incident occurred behind the walls of the New Amsterdam prison. Police Sergeant Godfrey Playter, prosecuting, said the defendant of Lot 341 Yakusari North, Black Bush Polder, on June 25 last engaged in sexual
penetration with the alleged victim without his consent. According to reports, the complainant had reported to wardens of the dastardly act, after feeling much discomfort. The report was made a
day after, as the complainant was ashamed to reveal the incident. On June 25, the men were in the cell when another prisoner “viced” the older man, while the defendant, who is also facing a charge of robbery
under arms, allegedly removed his pants and committed the act. The victim was taken to the New Amsterdam hospital, where a medical practitioner had confirmed that he was sexually violated.
Almost two years after fatal hit-and-run accident …
Driver sentenced to two years imprisonment
MOONLIGHTING taxi driver Edson Enniss, of Lot 88, Amsville Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam, was found guilty of driving motor vehicle PDD 5925 in a dangerous manner, thus causing the death of Sastia Natasha Phillips, a mother of two, on November 24, 2012. As a result, he was sentenced to two years in prison by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs- Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court. Further, he was fined a total of $40,000 for failing to render assistance and failing to stop after an accident. On that date, at around 20:20 hrs Phillips, along with her infant children, and her husband, was walking in the vicinity of Main and Alexander Streets, New Amsterdam, when she was hit by a car. She was picked up and transported to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Following the accident, Enniss fled the scene and hid the car before reporting to the Central Police Station a day later, after a reward was issued by relatives of the deceased, for his capture.
During the trial, the magistrate had cause to order that two traffic cops be remanded to prison after they failed to attend court to testify in the case. Police Sergeant 18281 Lloyd Thomas, along with Corporal 19673 Azad Ali, who incidentally was awarded Best Cop in 2012, had failed to attend court when required to do so. Consequently, arrest warrants were issued. During a subsequent appearance, Thomas, responding to questions by the court said he forgot the court date, while Ali said he was not feeling well. Questioned further as to whether he had a medical certificate to support his claim, he replied, “No M’aam.” “Why did you not communicate that to the prosecutor or the registrar”? She asked. “Nothing M’aam,” he replied. Consequently, the policemen were remanded to prison until November 14. However, the magistrate observed that whenever police ranks are remanded to prison, they are usually taken instead to the Tactical Services Unit where they would enjoy life.
Market vendor accused of attempting murder refused bail A thirty-five-year-old Bourda market vendor charged with attempted murder was refused bail on Friday by Magistrate Fabayo Azore. Leon Forde of Lot 90, Robb Street, Bourda, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the indictable charge that said on Wednesday October 8 at Robb Street, with intent to commit murder, he wounded Joseph Adams. The court heard that the accused and the virtual complainant (VC) are known to each other and on the day in question they were both consuming alcohol when they had a misunderstanding. As a result, the accused attacked the victim with a knife, inflicting a cut to his face. The victim tried to escape but the accused attacked him again, inflicting further injuries to his hands and stomach. Police prosecutor Kerry Bostwick objected to bail on the grounds that the victim is still hospitalised and his condition is unknown to the prosecution. The prosecutor’s objection was based also on the seriousness of the offence and the fact that if granted bail, he may tamper with the victim. Representing the accused was Attorney-at-Law Mark Conway. He requested bail in a reasonable sum for his client, stating that he has no prior or pending matter. He added that he was told that his client and the victim are close friends. He therefore could not see that if Forde were granted bail, Adams would be at risk. The objection to bail was upheld and the case will resume on October 13 before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Nevertheless, she affixed her signature to the warrants which were then handed to Police Sergeant Phillip Sherriff. Thomas had recovered the hidden car at Lot 188 Amsville Housing Scheme, while Ali had visited the alleged scene of the accident at Main and Alexander Streets. At the conclusion of the trial, Police Sergeant Godfrey Playter, submitted that a prima facie case was made out against the defendant. He stated that the prosecution had overwhelmingly satisfied the court, with respect to the charges and, that the defendant’s negligence had resulted in the woman’s death. “He [the defendant], did not take due care and attention,” Playter argued. The defendant said he had swerved from two cyclists who had darted from across street into his path. Enniss, a cane harvester confessed that he had swerved to avoid a collision, when he struck the woman. Following the collision he panicked and fear overcame him as he drove away. He later parked the car and went and hid himself. Defence Counsel was Joel Edmond Persid.
Mason, labourer remanded over $ 4.4M break and enter heist TWO men charged with carting off over $4.4M in articles through breaking and entering and larceny, on Friday were remanded to prison by Magistrate Fabayo Azore. Rawl Hinds, a 31-year-old mason of Lot 94, North Sophia, and Collin Kendall, a 26-year-old labourer of Pike Street, Squatting area, Greater Georgetown, both pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them. Particulars of the charge said between October 3 and 4 at Georgetown, the two men broke and entered the bond of Jiangxi Thermal Power Construction Corporation and stole one level lock, one Universal instrument, three freezers, one jack hammer, one welding machine and other articles together valued at $4,427,000. Police prosecutor Simone Payne did not reveal the prosecution’s facts, but opposed bail on the grounds of the seriousness and prevalence of the offence. She informed the court that Hinds had recently been released from prison and some of the articles mentioned in the charge were recovered including two freezers, one jack hammer and one Universal instrument. Payne added that the prosecution’s file is incomplete, since investigations are still in progress. However, the police prosecutor’s objection was upheld and bail was denied for the unrepresented duo. They were remanded until October 31.

International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2014
Natural Disasters are occurrences that can happen at any time, in any place. Being able to rebound quickly in the face of adversity is what makes a society resilient. Over the years we have seen an increase in the number of natural disasters not to mention the increasing intensity of these phenomena. With climate change upon us, the unpredictability of weather patterns demands that we be alert and plan for the uncertainties we now face. The world is ageing. Recognising this fact, this year
Life” we are called upon to pay closer attention to our elderly. They are sometimes vulnerable because they may live alone, suffer chronic diseases, disabilities or conditions that require extra assistance to leave an unsafe area and recover from a natural disaster event. For these reasons, emergency managers need to recognise that the frail elderly are a special-needs population and develop strategies to meet their needs. Disasters come in many forms, including severe weather-related events, earthquakes, large-scale attacks
Many Elderly persons are left behind because of their inability to move quickly enough and may be left behind by their care givers. Also, because of their age and sentimental value some refuse to leave their homes and memoirs behind in disasters causing them to stay in their homes; some even believe that there are others who deserve to be tended to more than they do and perish. Another story, facing our elderly, is that of older adults with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or breathing disorders, who suffer because they are unable to take their medications or lack access to the technologies that help them function independently during these times. Older adults also face difficulty to rebuild their lives and homes because of their age and varying abilities. It is not easy or in some instances even possible for them to rebuild their lives after a disaster. Many of them are unable to work and provide for themselves; this situation can cause many of them to become despondent and suffer from depression and other ailments as a result of the sudden life change.
the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction will highlight the need for a more inclusive approach for older people in disaster risk reduction and recognise the critical role they can play in resilience-building through their experience and knowledge. Older people now have to adapt to new changing weather patterns which are affecting their ability to provide for their families and communities as well as affecting their very lives. At the same time, older people are using their experience to confront climate change. As we observe International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2014 under the theme “Resilience is for
on civilian populations, technological catastrophes, influenza pandemics, even terrorist attacks. According to Vincent Campbell, PhD, Associate Director for Science in the Division of Human Development and Disability in CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, “Older adults are definitely a population with needs that must be addressed”. In New Orleans, people aged 60 and older comprised 15 percent of the population prior to Hurricane Katrina. However, more than 70 percent of those who died as a result of the hurricane were elderly.
Butthe situation is not all daunting, not all older adults are more vulnerable to ill effects from a disaster than younger people. In many cases, older adults have the life experience, wisdom, and mental resilience to survive, help others, and reassure people who are frightened or depressed by the events. Sometimes you will hear an older adult on the news say, “Well, we lost everything, but at least the family is okay. It could have been worse.” Nonetheless, many older adults who are frail or have special needs require assistance to survive and recover from a disaster.

New UGSS president to work towards constitutional reform
THE newly elected University of Guyana Students Society (UGSS) body was installed on Friday at the University (UG), Turkeyen. Joshua Griffith of the Students’ Empowerment Alliance was elected president of the student body. According to UG’s Registrar, Mr. Vincent Alexander, statistics have shown that this year, they had a far greater turnout for the election by the student population than in previous years. He also stated that the road ahead for this group of students won’t be easy, but with hard work and determination they will carry out their tasks properly and in the right way. Mr. Alexander noted that the student body will have full support from UG officials, and they will be properly represented. He added that the body lasts only for a semester, after which there will have to be another election to select a new body and president, This is due to the weak constitution which UGSS has, and he hopes the cry for a better constitution doesn’t fall on deaf ears. Following Mr. Alexander’s address, the president and the members of his party were sworn in. The inauguration ceremony was witnessed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Planning and Development) Dr. Elizabeth
Ramlall and the Chancellor. Other officials and students of UG were also present for the installation ceremony. Dr. Ramlall congratulated the new members and noted that in conducting the affairs
of the society, they will have to always keep in mind their main aim and always work towards achieving these aims. She also noted that they must conduct their affairs with the highest integrity at all

times. Dr. Ramlall told members of the council that UG officials will always welcome any inputs, opinions and views on the management of students’ welfare. She also urged them to ensure that they continue to strive for academic excellence, despite the difficulties they may face. The newly elected president, Joshua Griffith, in his address to the gathering stated that he follows the old saying of the Scout Movement: “We must leave a place better than we met it.” He noted that although a lot has been done by previous councils, there is still a lot more to be done. He added that he encourages students to speak out, because they are the main stakeholders of UG and they must not be afraid to share their views. He added that some of the main aims of his body will be to better represent the students of UG and push for constitutional reform. He said there has been a call for constitutional reform of the UGSS and they will be working assiduously towards that goal. Griffith stated that in order to build a better UG, the students’ help will be needed. He therefore asked for students’ cooperation so that together, they could make UG a better place.

Oasis Café celebrates nine years of service
THE Oasis Café celebrated its ninth year in the food business on Friday with a small gathering of its staff and customers at its prime vicinity on Carmichael Street. Established in 2005, the café has been the central café in Georgetown known for its hospitality and delicacies. They have managed to establish a branch at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport’s (CJIA) departure
zone, which allows Guyanese to satisfy their taste buds with homemade delicacies and coffee. CEO of the café, Nisa Walker, disclosed that the idea of the renowned café was led by a “desire for coffee” in Georgetown and as such had noticed the city was limited in cafés. Thus, with assistance from family and business partner Dawn Gustave, the café was then established.
Moreover, the café usually converts to “Paradiso Restaurant” on Friday evenings, when Italian cuisine is served, as well as diverse recipes. It also promotes a broad-based culture in its delicacies, which are always crafted by the hard- working chefs. Customers and passers-by enjoyed the celebration on Friday with a slice of Bobby’s Chocolate Cake. (Shivanie Sugrim)

“Because We Care” initiat
Gov’t committed to development

education soon.
OVER $35M was handed over to parents and guardians of more than 3,500 public school students yesterday during the launch of Government “Because We Care” $10,000 cash grant initiative. President Donald Ramotar stressed that the current administration’s investment in the Guyanese people, via social sector initiatives, is the manifestation of a long-standing principle of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) – development with a human face. “In the final analysis, the most important factor of development is the people of our country…education underpins everything,” he told hundreds of Region 7 (Cuyuni/ Mazaruni) residents at the Bartica Community Ground. According to him, the current administration continues to act on the principle of development with a human face as a way to ensure equal opportunity for all Guyanese children. He pointed to the fact that a 17-yearold student, Malala Yousafzai, was one of the 2014 Nobel Peace prize winners and explained that this is an indication of the contribution young people make to the country and the world as a whole. The Head of State noted too that the “Because We Care” initiative” will not only assist parents in financing their children’s education, but will also further improve access to education for all Guyanese children. Mr. Ramotar added that Guyana has already attained the goal of universal primary education and is well positioned to achieve universal secondary
INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE “We must invest in our children to put then on a level field,” he said, adding that in this way Guyanese students have a greater chance at competing on the global scene. The President was emphatic in stressing that education is an investment in Guyana’s future, since it represents the foundation on which progress is advanced. “We are working to ensure that no one is disadvantaged,” he stressed. In addition to the “Because We Care” initiative, Mr. Ramotar highlighted that many of the social sector programmes interconnect and complement each other, such as the Government’s widely lauded One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme and the ongoing Information Communication and Technology (ICT) thrust. In the education sector, the Head of State said this is seen with the investment into new schools and rehabilitation of schools, the provision of text books, the hot meals programme, the uniform assistance programme and other measures that aim to support Guyanese children – all of which go towards improving the standard of living and quality of life for all Guyanese. Mr. Ramotar stressed too that the interior regions are not left out of the development, evidence of which is clear. “If we speak about developing the interior, we have to have to invest in the people of the interior,” he said, reiterating that the ongoing development thrust has been geared toward equal opportunities
for all Guyanese. As an example of this, the President pointed to the efforts to have the University of Guyana’s (UG) degree programme made available online, so all Guyanese youth can benefit from a university education. He stated that this again is evidence of coordinated development, since the push for online access to UG is complemented by the Government’s OLPF programme.
CONSISTENT INVESTMENTS Mr. Ramotar highlighted that the investment in the social sector and by extension, the Guyanese people has been a consistent and conscientious decision undertaking by successive PPP/C governments. The President stated that prior to 1992 the investment in the social sector was a measly eight per cent of a small national budget, as compared to the 2014 and prior budgets. This year, the national budget allocated over 30 per cent of a whopping $220M budget. The national Estimates were geared to fulfill the many promises made to the people of Guyana during the 2011 campaign. However, it was slashed by the Opposition. This year the cuts totalled a whopping $37.4B, reducing the $220B national Budget to $182.6B. Last year, the combined Opposition cut the Budget by $31B; and in 2012 by $21B. The cuts include: 95M for the provision of developmental and humanitarian aid, among other initiatives; $450M for loans for University of Guyana students; $725M for the poverty alleviation programme; $7M for the different rights commissions; and $795M for the Basic Needs Trust Fund. Also on the chopping block were: the Specialty Hospital – $910M; upgrading of Regional and District Hospitals, including Port Kaituma, Kwakwani, Linden, Bartica, Eye Surgery Operating Room at Linden etc. – $360M; ambulances, ATVs and Boats – $42M; surgical equipment and instruments – $32M; the Amerindian

Under vulnerable groups and other targeted interventions, $382.5M was allocated to consolidate efforts made in the delivery of childcare and protection services. COLLECTIVE EFFORT Despite the successes and challenges, the President stressed that Guyana has the potential to go a much further way, in terms of its development. “We have the ability to go far,” he said. However, he made clear that the business of developing Guyana is one that cannot be done by the Government alone, but must be a collective effort, premised on partnerships and support among both the current Administration and the Guyanese people. “We can do much. We need your support to do so… we need your support as we explore ways to develop” Mr. Ramotar said. To this end, he pointed to areas of development that will keep Guyana on its development trajectory, including the need for a new international airport, a deep water harbour and additional infrastructure. Public Service Minister, Dr. Jennifer Westford, was also present at yesterday’s launch, and echoed similar sentiments. She stated that Guyana is a country of many firsts and this is something that all Guyanese must be proud of. However, according to her, for this to continue, Guyanese must all work together to continue the pace of development, for the benefit of the entire nation. Westford made it clear that the current Administration, a Government for the people, efforts in the past and its vision for the future does not entail
SMOOTH FIRST DAY The first day of distributions rolled off smoothly, with the hundreds of parents and guardians being served between 11:00 hrs and 14:00hrs. Some 16 schools from Region 7 were involved in the distribution process. In line with the decisions taken after more than 55 public consultations, as soon as parents and guardians uplifted their vouchers they were able to en-cash them at open Western Union/Bill Express locations in Bartica. The vouchers can also be cashed at Banks, Mobile Money and MoneyGram locations, as well as at post offices. According to Education Minister, Ms. Priya Manickchand, the first day is a reflection of the intent of the programme, service to the Guyanese people. “This is a simple programme. It is a programme where we serve you,” she said. During the launch, Ms. Manickchand stated that across the Caribbean Region only five countries have similar programmes, but Guyana stands tall in that it is the only country where such a programme is free from
conditionalities. “We believe firmly that we must invest in our children and in their education. If we fail, then we fail them and we fail Guyana,” she said. Manickchand added that there has been a build-up of support programmes and initiatives in the education sector to ensure continued development. “We match investments to our commitments,” she assured. However, the Education Minster pointed out that the success of the investments made to date is seen in the education outcomes that improve each year, at the level of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams and at Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) exams, among other platforms. “We know there is still more to do,” she acknowledged. Manickchand added: “We must all work together,” she said, adding that this is the only way to consolidate the gains that have been made over the last two decades and build on them to advance. The roll out of Government’s ‘Because We Care’ $10,000 Cash grant initiative continues today in Leguan, Region 3 (Essequibo Islands/ West Demerara) and will continue across the country until November 21.

‘Back trackers’ sentenced to six months for illegal departure TWO confessed “back trackers“ were each sentenced to six months imprisonment by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs at the New Amsterdam Magistrates Court, after they confessed to leaving the shores of Guyana at Number 78 foreshore for Suriname. In addition, Arina Francis and Deryck Persaud were fined $15,000 each and failing to pay they will have to serve 30 days and 20 days imprisonment, respectively. Nineteen-year-old Arina Francis told the court that on September 1, 2013, she departed the Number 78 foreshore without presenting herself to an immigration officer. However, it was whilst living in Nickerie, that Surinamese officials during a routine check realised that she was undocumented. She was arrested and thereafter handed over to their Guyanese counterparts, who instituted the illegal departure charge. Meanwhile, 47-year-old Deryck Persaud, who resided in Parimaribo, said he too had departed from the Number 78 Village foreshore on July 12, last. However, he confessed to being the holder of a Guyana Passport, but said that he had misplaced the travel document, resulting in him being deported from the neighbouring republic.
Caracas house demolition murder PI…
Defence threatens to move constitutional motion Section 144:1 THE preliminary inquiry (PI) into the death of Caracas resident Errol Lindo called “Son Son,” who was fatally shot during a house demolition on April 16, 2014, continued before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus with the testimonies of three witnesses. Prosecution witnesses Travis Crandon and Cassandra Arthur were cross-examined by Attorneys-at-law Nigel Hughes and Horation Edmondson. However, the battery of lawyers which included Mortimer Coddette, declined to question police witness, Detective Ryan Caesar, through whom the post-mortem report was tendered. Nevertheless, Codette brought to the court’s attention that come October 16, it will be six months since the defendant has been in custody. Clearly then, if the remaining eight witnesses are not available by October 20 he will move a constitutional motion based on Section 144:1 of the Constitution of Guyana. Consequently, the court has availed October 16 and 20 for the continuance of the matter. Facing the capital offence of murder is New Amsterdam businessman Charles Henry, called Bristol, of Lad Lane, New Amsterdam, who allegedly fatally shot the squatter during the Christian-celebrated Holy Week.
Pestanos murder trial…
Father, son placed on $450,000 bail each AFTER the mixed jury at the Berbice Assizes had twice failed to arrive at a verdict in relation to the Pestano father and son murder case, a subsequent petition for bail was granted by acting Chief Justice Ian Chang. The petition of Rookmin Pestano, through Attorney-at-law Peter Hugh, was accepted, and the men Roy (Snr.) and Raymond Pestano were granted pre-trial liberty in the sum of $450,000 each. The Pestanos second trial had concluded two weeks ago, because the jury had failed to reach a verdict, after deliberating for over three hours. Consequently, the then presiding Judge Navindra Singh ordered that the duo be further remanded until their third trial. After the order had been given, the elder Pestano was overheard saying that he hoped to have an early trial. The Pestanos are accused of unlawfully killing their relative Davindand Ramlagan on October 19, 2002 at Number 41 Village, West Coast Berbice. In her address to the jury, prosecutor Renita Singh, had referred to the overwhelming evidence and urged the jury to return a verdict in keeping with the oath they had taken and the dictates of their conscience.

Karunaratne hundred keeps Windies A toiling HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka, Oct 11, CMC – West Indies A were made to toil with little success as opener Dimuth Karunaratne struck a hundred to propel Sri Lanka A on the opening day of the first unofficial “Test” here yesterday. Opting to bat first, Sri Lanka A finished the day on 261 for two, with left-hander Karunaratne top-scoring with a fine 139 and at the close, Lahiru Thirimanne was unbeaten on 85 while Dinesh Chandimal ended the day at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium on 29 not out. Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel (1-30) and captain Carlos Brathwaite (1-46) shared the two wickets to fall after the Caribbean side made a great start when Gabriel claimed Upul Tharanga for four with the score on six in the day’s fifth over, caught at the wicket by Chadwick Walton.
However, any hopes of any further immediate success were dashed by Karunaratne and Thirimanne who combined in superb second wicket stand of 217. Karunaratne faced 234 balls and struck 14 fours while Thirimanne has so far batted 45 balls and counted eight fours. The partnership took Sri Lanka A safely through the first two sessions and ended in the final hour of the day when Brathwaite had Karunaratne taken behind by Walton. Even then there was no capitulation as Thirimanne and Chandimal put on another 38 for the third wicket in an unbroken stand. West Indies A are set to play three unofficial “Tests” and three one-dayers in a tour that wraps up November 14th.
Federer brings down Djokovic in Shanghai (REUTERS)-Roger Federer brought world number one Novak Djokovic’s juggernaut to a halt when a 6-4 6-4 victory in the Shanghai Masters to set up a final against unseeded Frenchman Gilles Simon. The 33-year-old Swiss was in aggressive mood against his younger opponent, who was on a 28-match winning streak in China, and converted his third match point with a backhand volley to end a semi-final slugfest that lasted one hour 35 minutes. Federer, who will return to second in the rankings on Monday, broke serve in the fifth game of the first set after a couple of unforced errors from the twice Shanghai Masters champion. The 17-times grand slam winner broke again in the opening game of the second set and went on to exact sweet revenge for his defeat in their last meeting, at the Wimbledon final in July. Earlier, Simon moved into his first Masters Series final in six years after outclassing big-serving Spaniard Feliciano Lopez. The world number 29 faced little pressure on his serve and dominated the match from the baseline with some
sumptuous groundstrokes to beat the 33-year-old Lopez 6-2 7-6 (1). Lopez, who knocked out world number two Rafa Nadal in the second round, netted a backhand volley to hand Simon the first break of the match in the third game and the tall Spaniard only had himself to blame as a double fault gifted a second break. The frazzled world number 21, under pressure from Simon’s winners, finally held to make it 5-2 but the Frenchman wrapped up the set in 25 minutes with an ace down the middle that swerved teasingly away from the left hander. Lopez mixed up his tactics in the second set, opting to attack the net more to hustle his opponent, whose only previous Masters Series final appearance came in 2008 in Madrid, with some success. The Spaniard came through seven deuces in the third game to avoid another break while Simon only dropped four points on his serve in the set. The pressure finally told on Lopez in the tiebreak as he crumbled under a mix of double faults, netted returns and wild smashes to lose it 7-1.
Windies back to bad habits ... From back page measured partnership. Smith’s first 11 balls yielded just four runs but he blossomed well to hit 11 fours and two sixes. Darren Bravo never quite got going, and was bowled off-stump by Mohammed Shami playing down the wrong line, after counting two fours. Smith and Pollard seemed to have put the Windies on course for victory in their 82-run, second wicket partnership that lasted 94 balls. Both played circumspectly but Pollard was unusually subdued with six runs from his first 16 balls. He cleared mid-wicket for six with Jadeja to mark his first boundary in the 19th over, and added a four and two more sixes, before missing a heave at Mishra in the 29th over and playing on at 136 for two. Smith, meanwhile, picked off the boundaries when they came and moved to 48 by hammering seamer Umesh Yadav through cover for his sixth four in the 20th over before bringing up his seventh ODI half-century with a single to long on in the next over. He celebrated by lifting Mishra into the stands at mid-wicket and then smashed three fours off Kohli’s second over, the 32nd of the innings, to race to 87. Smith struck Mohammed Shami cleanly back overhead for six to move to within three of a century but was bowled off the very next ball, playing on to one that swung in, hit his pads and disturbed his stumps. Stroke-maker Marlon Samuels was almost unrecog-
nizable from the player who reeled off a sublime unbeaten 126 in the first ODI, and endured a painful struggle for 16 off 38 balls.It was almost a relief when he swatted Yadav to Kohli at cover at the start of the 40th over at 183 for four but those following him proved just as wasteful.

Hamilton on pole for F1’s Russia debut By Edd Straw (REUTERS) - Lewis Hamilton claimed pole position for Formula 1’s inaugural Russian Grand Prix, denying Nico Rosberg and Valtteri Bottas at Sochi. Hamilton outpaced Mercedes team-mate Rosberg by two tenths of a second, with the part both completing three increasingly fast flyers on their sole Q3 run. Although Rosberg was the faster on their first runs thanks to Hamilton’s conservative opening lap,
Hamilton had the edge and took his seventh pole position of the season. There was a very real threat to the dominance of the Silver Arrows, with Williams driver Bottas putting in a spectacular final lap to challenge for pole position. The Finn set the fastest sector times of all in the first two sectors, but the rear stepped out at the final corner and he ran wide, which cost him any chance of beating the two Mercedes drivers and left him in third place. McLaren pairing Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen continued the strong form for the team in
fourth and sixth place, although Magnussen will take a gearbox-change penalty. They sandwiched arguably the star of qualifying, Daniil Kvyat, who qualified a career-best fifth after a strong performance on home soil. Daniel Ricciardo was seventh on a weekend of damage limitation for Red Bull, ahead of the two Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. Jean-Eric Vergne, in the second Toro Rosso, was slowest in Q3 and qualified 10th. Reigning F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel was eliminated in Q2, his final lap only good enough to take 11th, 0.123s slower than Red Bull stablemate Vergne. Vettel did not report any specific car problems, although he had been struggling with the balance of his Red Bull. Just behind were the two Force Indias, with Nico Hulkenberg narLEWIS HAMILTON rowly ahead of Sergio Perez but also set for a penalty. Esteban Gutierrez won the intra-Sauber fight, over four tenths faster than team-mate Adrian Sutil, the Mexican doing a good job after sitting out Friday morning practice in favour of Sergey Sirotkin. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was slowest in Q2, ending up 16th while Caterham driver Marcus Ericsson continued his recent run of good form with 17th, fastest of those to be eliminated in Q1. The Swede’s final lap allowed him to jump ahead of Williams driver Felipe Massa, who ended up 18th. Massa had looked set to qualify well, but a fuel pressure problem that the team did not have time to fix meant that he was down on power. He did complete eight laps during Q1, but the hobbled car did not have the performance to get into the top 16. Kamui Kobayashi, in the second Caterham, ended up just a tenth off Massa after improving by almost six tenths on his final run. This was enough to put him ahead of Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado, who received an apology over the radio for what was described as a “shambles” after a problem delayed him. He has to serve a five-place grid penalty anyway, a consequence of using his sixth engine during the Japanese GP weekend, so will drop to last. Max Chilton in the sole Marussia was 21st, just over four tenths slower than Maldonado.

GTA to host IGG tournament next week
AFTER a hiatus of a long 30 years wait, it is exciting to announce the return of international tennis competition hosted on Guyana’s soil. Such will be Guyana’s hosting of the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) 2014 which will definitely serve to raise the profile of tennis in Guyana. The tournament which is scheduled for October 24th and 25th is being organized and executed by the Guyana Tennis Association (GTA) and according to President Grace McCalman, her executive is overcome with enthusiasm to participate in such an event. The IGG for tennis is in its third year having been initiated
OPEN 2014. A total of four tennis courts will be utilized, two at Bel Air Park and two at GBTI’s Diamond branch as Mr. Tracey continues to offer strong support for tennis. Each of the three countries participating will provide twelve players in the male and female divisions: U18s, U14s and U12s with two boys and two girls in each category. Players arrive on Thursday October 23rd and will be greeted with an Opening Ceremony at 6:00pm at the GBTI Bel Air Park venue. On the first day of competition, there will be 36 singles matches played with girls at Bel Air Park
The Guyana National Team to contest the IGG tournament, is flanked by coaches Shelly Daly-Ramdyhan with Suriname’s hosting in 2012 and French Guiana in 2013. Such a tournament says McCalman, provides a great opportunity for overseas competition at minimal cost compared to the immense financial burden on the association and parents to support players to participate at other Caribbean destinations and therefore she hopes to create more opportunities for competition and development between the three countries. Tough has been the call for sponsorship and the association is still seeking support to fulfill its obligations, but the GTA extremely grateful for donations received so far, from David Persaud Investments, Neal & Massy, Continental Agencies, Sterling Products Ltd, 704 Sports Bar, Metro Office Supplies and Overseas-based Guyanese Professional Coach Bill Adams. Of great significance is the provision of GBTI tennis facilities for the tournament. This was announced by the bank’s CEO John Tracey at the closing of the GBTI
and boys at Diamond. On the second day, 18 doubles matches will be played with boys at Bel Air Park and girls at Diamond. Chairman of GECOM, Dr. Steve Surujbally will be the Tournament Director. With a home crowd backing, team Guyana seeks to be dominant on home court. The team will comprise of eleven players (11) from the national squad, Boys U18: Daniel Lopes, Khalif Gobin, Boys U14: Keenan Persaud, Mark McDonald, Boys U12: Jordan Beaton, Heimraj Resaul. Girls U18: Nicola Ramdyhan, Aretta Dey, Girls U14: Afruica Gentle, Shivanie Persaud, Girls U12: Kalyca Fraser, Sarah Klautky. Last year in French Guiana, the Guyanese players performed creditably. All three countries won two categories each, but French Guiana took the top position on sets followed by Suriname and Guyana. The public is invited to come out and support our team. Admission is free. Match time is 8:30am.
GABBFF to adopt WADA policy By Leeron Brumell
ELITE BODYBUILDERS could in the future undergo the full range of doping tests, as the Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GABBFF) is to adopt the measures handed down by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), who is the governing body trying to clean up sports from drug cheats. GABBFF president Keavon Bess, said the local body is to ratify the anti-doping code that was passed on bodybuilding associations/federations affiliated to the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB). At the recent congress of the Central American and Caribbean Amateur Bodybuilding Championships in St. Martin, the decision was taken to have all affiliates sign-on to the code and Bess said it will be discussed at the executive level of his federation and also with the Guyana Olympic Association – the body undertaking doping tests in Guyana. He said in the past, tests were done at local laboratories here to determine whether or not elite bodybuilders were using banned substances, while he could not say if any local bodybuilder here has even undergone the full battery of tests, which cost in the vicinity of US $700.00 No lab in Guyana is equipped to comprehensively test for all banned substances, so samples would have to be sent overseas. In the meantime, the GABBFF will make use of the GOA’s anti-doping panel to handle all tests, instead of putting together one of their own. There have been whispers that some local bodybuilders might be or may have used performance enhancing supplements in the past, but as Bess noted, ‘…there always have been claims, but no one has been found using, so we cannot speculate. We cannot prejudice the athlete’. Bess is hoping with the new anti-doping mechanisms that are to come on stream, elite athletes will undergo random tests, more often. The aside, Bess, was elected to the legal council of the CAC. He told Chronicle Sport it puts the federation on the right footing as it relates to the body’s obligation to athletes. Upon Bess’s return from the 42nd CAC championships on Thursday last, he said a number of changes are expected to be made to modus operandi of the federation, whose Annual General Meeting is to be held in early 2015.
Orville Hinds rode tactically to win 10th annual Hand-in-Hand feature 35-lap race TEAM UNITED’S Orville Hinds rode tactically yesterday to win the feature 35-lap event of the 10th Annual Hand-inHand race cycle programme in the National Park. The day’s activity which was organised by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed attracted some of the country’s top junior riders and a few seniors, since the top riders are on national duty in Puerto Rico, competing in the Elite Caribbean Championships which will conclude today. Hinds who was with the leading bunch up to the 31st-lap jumped Stephanoo Husbands, Michael Anthony, Robin Persaud and Mario ORVILLE HINDS King and went on to extend his lead during the remaining three laps and was never challenged for the lead, thereafter crossing the finish line approximately 125 metres ahead of the second placed King. Persaud, Anthony and Husbands came around the final
turn for the finish with Persaud leading, but Anthony went into over-drive and raced past the finish line by almost half a wheel, as Persaud held on for fourth and Husbands settled for fifth, while Paul DeNobrega ended sixth. Hinds’ winning time was one hour, 16 minutes, 35.93 seconds which is better than last year’s winner of the event, Alonzo Greaves, who is currently in Puerto Rico on national duty, and who won the 2013 edition of the event in one hour 21 minutes, 27.58 seconds. Anthony and Hinds won two prime prizes each while DeNobrega, Albert Philander, and Persaud won one each. In other results, Husbands won the 10-lap race for juveniles ahead of Jamal John and Alonzo Ambrose respectively, doing so in a time of 23 minutes 10.05 seconds. Damion Sukdeo won the five-lap race for mountain bikers ahead of Adrian Sharma, while Jerimah Harrison won the BMX boys’ six to nine years old two-lap race. Second was Alexander Leung and third was Christopher Goring. The BMX Boys and Girls’ 12-14 years three-lap event was won by Raken Blair, second was Brighton John and finishing third was Davenand Kapilnauth. Junior Niles won the veterans’ under 50 years of age five-lap race ahead of Jaikaran Sukhai and Kennard Lovell respectively, while Linden Blackman was first among the
veterans’ over-50 years event over the same distance. Second in this category was Johnathan `Old Legs’ Creavalle who is based in the United States. Third was motor racer Kevin Jeffrey. Monty Parris won the five-lap race for veterans over 60 years of age. Prior to the presentation of prizes to the respective winners, race coordinator Mohamed thanked the sponsors, Hand-in-Hand Insurance for their continued support to the programme as well as the cyclists for their participation. Speaking on behalf of the Insurance Company, Bonicka Gordon, thanked the cyclists for being a part of the programme and pledged the Insurance company’s support for the future. Meanwhile, cyclists will turn their attention to the third annual Kadir Mohamed Memorial 80-mile Cycle Road Race, which pedals off this morning at 07:30hrs. Cyclists will battle for some $700,000 in cash and smelted gold in the race, which begins on Homestretch Avenue, proceeds to Dora on the Linden/Soesdyke Highway before returning to the starting point for the finish. The top Open, Juveniles, Juniors and Veterans Under and Over 45 years will put their wheels to the line, in search of the top prize of one ounce of smelted gold.

Banks 11-A-side Hockey
GCC & U-19 Ladies impressive By Leeron Brumell DEFENDING champions Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and the National Under-19 female teams recorded comfortable wins on the opening night of the Banks 11-A-Side outdoor Hockey Tournament last Friday night. Under lights and on a lush green Thirst Park field, the defending ladies champs pulled off a lopsided 5-0 whipping on long-time rivals, Hikers. Sonia Jardine opened the scoring for GCC in the 4th minute of play and six minutes later, Princessa Wilkie would register the first of her braces, completing same 14 minutes later to give her team a 3-0 advantage going into the half. On the resumption, GCC would continue to out-hustle Hikers, and after 24-minutes, from a penalty corner, Trisha Woodroffe would add her name to the score sheet with the win being sealed in the 29th minute of play when Kerensa
Fernandes slotted home the fifth and final goal. In the third game of the night, the National Under-19 ladies put in a good performance to come away with the win over Old Fort. From the first whistle, the juniors took the attack to Old Fort and for most of the first 15-minutes, the Under-19’s kept play in Old Fort’s half of the field but was denied the opportunity of scoring, hence a nil all scoreline was the order of the day at the break. On the resumption, Old Fort got their first real opportunity to score, but couldn’t convert and 17 minutes into the game, Nicole Eastman put the Under-19 unit ahead, a lead that was doubled one minute later by Maya Persaud. The nationals kept the pressure on Old Fort and in the 23rd minute of play, scored their third field goal from the stick of Macaela Harding. There are four female teams in the round-robin tournament and GCC and the U-19s were down for the first
female clash yesterday, with Hikers taking on Old Fort in the other. Yesterday, eight games were played. In male play on Friday night, GCC held Hikers – 2010 champs the last time the tournament was played - to a nil-all draw after 30 minutes, while Old Fort and Saints played to a one-all draw. It was a match that Old Fort could have won, but they failed to capitalise on a number of penalty corners. Saints scored the first goal of the match in the 24th minute, through Stephen King after a scramble in-front of goal and when it seemed an upset was on the cards, Joel Hunte in the final minute of play, pulled one back for Old Fort, as both teams walked away with one point for the draw. Four more round-robin matches are set for today starting from 13:00hrs (1pm) and at the end of those games, the top two teams in both divisions play in the final.
Braithwaite may be still in the race
The National Under-19 Female Squad strike a pose before taking the field for their first match against Old Fort.
‘Jackie Chan’ interpretation questioned ALPHA ‘THE HAMMER’ UNITED striker Gregory `Jackie Chan’ Richardson has been formally and officially suspended from the club and any attempt to play for another before the suspension is up will lead to further sanctions, club president Odinga Lumumba has warned. “I don’t know what football rules Mr. Richardson is adopting, I don’t know who have written his rules. However, what is clear is that he has a very different interpretation of the laws of football,” Lumumba told Chronicle Sport yesterday. Richardson and five other players were slapped with six month suspensions for various infractions by Alpha United one week ago. Richardson was later quoted in another section of the media as stating that he would be playing organized football by this year-end , even though his suspension would be up in April 20015. “At the end of the year, I have to play football. I have to play for some team, if it’s not Alpha then it will be somebody else. It is who is paying the most money, and it’s all about money,” Richardson was quoted as saying. “When you are suspended from football in Guyana you cannot play, unless it (the suspension) is overturned by the Guyana Football Federation, CONCACAF or FIFA. I didn’t suspend him, the executive of the club did and he was formally notified,” Lumumba said. “After serving his time he can move to another club if he so wish. Than can happen when the transfer windows are open.”
Richardson, fellow striker Manasseh `Ziggy’ Primo and midfielder , Anthony `Natural’ Benfield were found guilty of abandoning the team just before its final match of the CONCACAF Champions League in Portland, Oregon last month. The three players defied instructions given by Coach Wayne `Wiggy’ Dover, left the hotel hours before the game against Portland Timbers to go shopping. They could not be found when the team left for the venue of the match but surfaced at the match venue long after the team arrived. Their absence forced Dover to commence the game without them which impacted heavily on Alpha United who lost the game 6-0. In February 2009, Richardson became the first GREGORY Guyanese to land a contract RICHARDSON in the USA’s Major League Soccer (MLS) after signing with the Colorado Rapids. He stayed with the club for four months before being waived to Carolina Rail Hawks in June
YESTERDAY marked 12 years since Wayne `Big Truck’ Braithwaite pummeledItalian Vincenzo Cantatore inside ten rounds to win the vacant World Boxing Council cruiserweight title. Then a burly stone- fisted 27-year-old, Braithwaite attacked the hapless Cantatore with every punch in the book, excluding rum and fruit punch, to which referee Jose Garcia would allow no more punishment and called a halt to the fight with 54 seconds left in the 10th round. The victory earned Guyana its second world title following Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis’ seventh round dismantling of James Page in February 2001 that earned him the right to wear the World Boxing Association welterweight belt. Braithwaite would have three successful defence of the title before running into Frenchman Jean Marc Mormeck who proved too tough for the previously undefeated Guyanese who lost by a unanimous points decision. That was in April 2005. Five months later Braithwaite would suffer his second lost. What was expected to be a walk in the park against opponent Guillermo Jones turned out to be an almost fatal accident on the highway. With the Guyanese being roughed up by the Panamanian Jones, referee Jimmy Vilers was of the opinion that he saw too much and waved it off at two minutes and 26 seconds of the fourth round. From there the Guyanese would lose four of his next seven fights one being a shocking and equally embarrassing first round knockout at the hands of Barbados’ Shawn Cox in February, 2012. The fight was staged at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall and was his first at home since he walloped Wayne Harris in July 1998 at the same venue. However, now at the ripe age of 39 the Plaisance born is still on the hunt for glory. He was scheduled to step back into the ring last month in the USA but plans for that fight fell through but another bout is in the making. Braithwaite is not planning to hang up his glove just yet and is hoping that his tank has enough fuel to take him to another world title. In the strange world of boxing where Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman won titles way past age 40 Braithwaite may be still in the race.

189 before he was caught at deep midwicket off Trevon France (3 for 91), while Derwin Christian marked a return to local competition with his 75 (5x6, 5x4), Barnwell 56 (4x4, 3x6) and Shurfane Rutherford 31 (4x4, 1x6). The diminutive Tevin Imloch who made 20 (3x4), was an innocent bystander at the non-striker’s end, during his 176 runs second wicket partnership with Sattaur, who later added 101 for the third wicket with Christian, after Imloch pushed one tamely back to France. According to reports, during the DCC innings, GYO’s skipper Surendra Hiralall ordered his wicketkeeper, in former West Indies Under-19 player Kwame Crosse, to leave the field of play for insubordination, opting to field with 10 players instead. Faced with a deficit of 312, GYO faced a rampaging Wintz in their second innings and the fast bowler did not disappoint Barnwell, as he used the conditions well to his advantage on his way to claiming 5 for 18 including a hat trick for match figures of 10 for 55, as GYO were limited to 38 for 9 off 15.4 overs. Hiralall was the lone batsman to reach double figures with his 10 which included a square driven four off Wintz, who got support from Barnwell 2 for 4, as the home team romped to the mammoth win, earning fro themselves a day’s rest on today’s second day, in the process. At the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, the home team who took first innings points from Transport Sports Club
(TSC), saw their opponents trailing by 3 runs at the end of the first day. Batting first, TSC were bowled out for 65 with only Ryan Hemraj 39 (4x4, 2x6) and Charwayne McPherson 11 reaching double figures against the bowling of Ronsford Beaton who took career best figures of 6 for 13 and Raj Nannan 4 for 9. Ronaldo Ali-Mohammed then struck 12 fours and two sixes in his 79, which together with Winston Forrester 34 (5x4) and 24 (3x4) from Nannan, pushed GCC who were 28 for 3, to 203 for 8 declared, for a lead of 138. The veteran Kevin Ross took 3 for 53, Junior Duncan 2 for 39 and Orin Fernandez 2 for 52 for TSCX, who in their second innings were 133 for 3, BRIAN SATTAUR thanks to Devaughn Nandan 49 (4x4, 2x6) and 42 from Hemraj which included eight fours, while Nannan has so far taken 3 for 62.
