Glenn Lall and wife slapped with …set to fraud charges, re-appear in court on released on self-bail November 24 PUBLISHER of Kaieteur News, Mr. Mohan Lall, commonly referred to as Glenn Lall, and his wife Bhena were yesterday arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, to answer charges that relate to defrauding the Guyana Revenue Authority of duties.

The filing of the charges followed the disclosure of details of an alleged duty-free scam which were made pub-

lic by the Guyana Chronicle after a close examination of the Government of Guyana’s review of the Remigrant Scheme.

The couple, who reside at Nandy Park, East Bank Demerara, denied the charges that were read to them

by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

The defence was represented by high-profile lawyers, some of whom are also prominent politicians. The list of lawyers include, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, Senior Counsels Rex McKay, Nigel Hughes, Christopher Ram, Joseph Harmon, Brendan Glasford, Bettina Glassford and Robin Hunte.

tion 218(d) of the Customs Act Chapter 82:01.

Defence counsel, Ramjattan requested that his clients be released on their own recognisance, which is self-bail.

The Lall’s’ are expected to return to court on November 24 and the matter was transferred before Magistrate Judy Latchman.

Representing the prosecution was attorney-at-law Mr. Mahendra Satram and Sandil Kissoon.

Additionally, the other two parties involved in the alleged duty-free scam, Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan, did not appear to answer the charges against them.

The charges against the two remigrants state that: 1. The two parties were knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of import duties of Customs on vehicle, PRR 8398, contrary to Section 218(e) of the Customs Act, Chapter 82:01.

MOU for three bio-mass projects inked…

US$35.6M venture in line with value added thrust – President Ramotar

By Vanessa Narine A MASSIVE investment of US$35.6M will be made in the next coming months into three new bio-mass projects, following an agreement between the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST) and a multinational company, Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited.

The three projects, using the waste products from the agriculture and forestry sectors, are the: * Construction and operation of a facility to produce three tonnes per day of activated carbon from coconut shells, primarily to service

the gold recovery industry in Guyana; * Construction and operation of a facility to produce 200-tonnes per day of woodpellets, for export to Europe; and * Construction and operation of a gasification and eight megawatts (MW) electricity generating facility in Guyana.

Government has leased some 5,000 acres of land in Region 2 (Pomeroon/ Supenaam) to Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited and the IAST is expected to support the company’s operations with a transfer of its general ‘know-how’ and other

technical expertise. In exchange, IAST has a five per cent equity stake in the $35M investment. The $35M invested in totality by Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited is financed through a 60-40 debt/ equity ratio, which will see the parent company putting up the finances and the remaining funds being provided through a financial institution. There are also no-concessionary privileges beyond what is stated in Guyana’s tax laws, which have been given to Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited.

Additionally, the three ventures are expected to provide between 300 and 400

jobs.

VALUE ADDED THRUST The projects’ details were made public at a press conference yesterday at the Office of the President, and President Donald Ramotar contends that the new ventures are in sync with the thrust for the development of value added products.

According to him, the agriculture and forestry sectors’ bio-waste, including coconut shells to waste wood, provide an opportunity, not only for the creation of value added products, but also an opportunity to reduce environmental hazards.

Mr. Ramotar stated too that the project will place no additional “pressure” on the existing resources Guyana has.

“I am happy with the partnership,” he said, adding that the three ventures will make a huge difference on the Essequibo Coast.

The President highlighted too that while the projects

will be started on the Essequibo Coast, they will serve as a demonstration for similar undertakings across the country.

The involvement of the IAST was also

lauded by the President, who added that a move beyond research activities to commercial activity by the Institute will ensure its sustainability and, by

Ebola epidemic ‘could lead to failed states’, warns WHO (BBC News) THE Ebola epidemic threatens the “very survival” of societies and could lead to failed states, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned.

The outbreak, which has killed some 4,000 people in West Africa, has led to a “crisis for international peace and security”, WHO head Margaret Chan said.

She also warned of the cost of panic “spreading faster than the virus”.

Meanwhile, medics have largely ignored a strike call in Liberia, the centre of the deadliest-ever Ebola outbreak.

Nurses and medical assistants had been urged to strike over danger money and conditions. However, most were working as normal on Monday, the BBC’s Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia said.

A union official said the

More than 4,000 people have died during the Ebola outbreak government had coerced workers - but the government said it had simply asked them to be reasonable.

In a speech delivered on her behalf at a conference in the Philippines, Ms Chan said Ebola was a historic risk.

“I have never seen a health event threaten the

very survival of societies and governments in already very poor countries,” she said. “I have never seen an infectious disease contribute so strongly to potential state failure.”

She warned of the economic impact of “rumours and panic spreading faster than the virus”, citing a World Bank estimate that

90% of the cost of the outbreak would arise from “irrational attempts of the public to avoid infection”.

Ms Chan also criticised pharmaceutical firms for not focusing on Ebola, condemning a “profit-driven industry [that] does not invest in products for markets that cannot pay”.

Iraq crisis: 180,000 flee IS advance in Anbar, UN says (BBC News) AS many as 180,000 people have fled fighting between Iraqi forces and Islamic State (IS) militants in and around the city of Hit in western Anbar province, the UN says.

The civilians - many of whom were already displaced - have headed east towards the war-torn city of Ramadi.

The UN says the refugees are in need of food, blankets and medical supplies.

IS captured Hit earlier this

month in an advance across Anbar that has alarmed Iraqi leaders.

Analysts say seizing Anbar would enable IS to establish a supply line to launch possible attacks on the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

In other developments: * At least 12 people are killed in a spate of bomb blasts in predominantly Shia areas of the capital, Baghdad. * UK Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond, on his first

official visit to Baghdad, says Iraqi forces will have to take the lead in fighting IS on the ground. * The US says Turkey has agreed to allow moderate Syrian rebels to be trained on its soil in its bid to combat IS. The US-led coalition that is battling IS has carried out air strikes on the area around Hit. However, Iraqi security officials said on Monday that IS had overrun a military base the Iraqi army had abandoned about 8km (five miles) west of the city.

They took military vehicles, including tanks, and then set the camp ablaze, they said.

On Saturday, officials in Anbar appealed for military help, saying the province was in danger of falling to IS. Anbar’s provincial council asked the Iraqi government for US ground troops, Iraq’s al-Sharqiyah TV reported.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has repeatedly ruled out any foreign ground troops in Iraq.

Turkey’s Kurdish peace process at risk amid fury over Syrian town (Reuters) - WINDOWS shattered by looting protesters, the largest city in Turkey’s mainly Kurdish southeast shows plenty of signs of the violence that swept it last week, but optimism over a fragile peace process with Kurdish guerrillas is far harder to find.

There are fears that the fate of the border town of Kobani in neighboring Syria could wreck efforts by the Turkish government to end a three decades long insurgency by the militants, and tip Turkey back into a conflict that has cost 40,000 lives.

Many of Turkey’s 15 million Kurds have reacted with fury over the fate of mainly Kurdish Kobani, under assault by Islamic State for nearly a month while Turkish troops look on.

Last week at least 35 people were killed as Kurdish protests in solidarity with Kobani turned violent, with Diyarbakir at the center of the bloodletting.

Kurds say that fury over Ankara’s failure to intervene could spin out of control in spite of efforts by the government or jailed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan to continue with peace talks aimed at ending the uprising.

“If Kobani falls, the peace process will be history. And if Kobani falls, the people will not listen

to calls for calm, from whomever they come,” said chain-smoking Ibrahim, 29, in a tea house in Diyarbakir’s poor Baglar district, a PKK hotbed.

Days earlier, the streets of Baglar were filled with tear gas as police clashed with protesters. The area briefly became a no-go zone for security forces, and armored vehicles were deployed to quell the unrest.

A police officer told Reuters the rage of the protesters was like nothing he had seen in 20 years working in the region.

“They attack like they have nothing to lose. There seems to be an immense amount of hate and anger,” he said. “They’re looting.

They burn, break, destroy.

The state and everything that represents the state seems to be their enemy.”

The unrest is a serious blow to President Tayyip Erdogan, who has invested considerable political capital in repairing Turkey’s relations with its Kurds.

Decades of oppression by nationalist governments in Ankara had aimed to suppress Kurdish culture, prompting a violent response by Kurdish militants and creating deep ethnic wounds within Turkey which Erdogan has vowed to heal.

He has pushed through cultural reforms and abolished laws banning the Kurdish language in Turkey.

North Korea: Where is Kim Jong-un?

(BBC News) KIM Jong-un, North Korea’s 32-year-old leader, has been absent from public view for more than 38 days, prompting a flurry of speculation about the political stability of a regime notorious for its opaqueness and secrecy.

In particular, Mr Kim’s non-attendance at two high-profile public events - the 10 October anniversary of the establishment of the Korean

Worker’s Party, and the 9 September Foundation Day of the North Korean State - two signature days in the political calendar when the leader would be expected to make an appearance, has been read by some as a sign of potential political turmoil behind the scenes.

Official North Korean media have cited unspecified personal “discomfort” as grounds for Mr Kim’s absence from public

view.

Foreign analysts of the regime have speculated, on the basis of very limited empirical evidence, that this may be based on a variety of causes ranging from gout, diabetes, heavy smoking on the part of the young leader, ankle injuries sustained during recent military inspection visits, and most recently (according to testimony from a German doctor

who met Mr Kim) substantial problems in his endocrine system and internal organs.

Poor health is a plausible explanation for Mr Kim’s decision to shun the limelight - a striking departure for a leader who, in marked contrast to his publicity-shy father (the late Kim Jong-il), has appeared to revel in high-profile public appearances.

A more dramatic interpreta-

tion is that Mr Kim has been the victim of a political coup and is languishing under house arrest, having been removed from power by members of the North’s political and military gerontocracy alarmed by his penchant for purging his political rivals - most notably the execution of his uncle Jang Song-taek in December 2013 - and his failure to promote lasting economic prosperity.

Closer screening needed for Ebola and Mers, says Fuad ( Tr i n i d a d G u a r d i a n ) HEALTH Minister Fuad Khan is concerned that the Ebola virus may have found a new way to spread. Khan was reacting to news that broke yesterday of a US healthcare worker tested positive for the virus, becoming that country’s first case of the disease being contracted or transmitted locally. The female victim was part of the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital medical team that cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, a patient who later died from Ebola. This, although she wore full protective gear.

Speaking yesterday, Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan said the development “was more cause for concern” for local authorities. He said the situation raised some critical, as the healthcare worker had worn a mask, gloves, gown and shield when attending to Duncan. “She had the proper suit, yet still she became infected. We now have to look at another component of infectivity. Is there another way to become infected?” he said.

“We don’t have Ebola here,” Khan said, adding that there was a serious need to reinforce monitoring of people coming into the country. “We must seriously look at guarding our borders,” he said, adding that a team was already working on early detection

of travellers arriving at ports of entry with symptoms. “It may very well come down to having to quarantine people coming from West Africa and those interacting with them,” he said.

He said revised travel health forms should be ready to be introduced as early as next week. The forms are designed to secure a passenger’s detailed history as to their travel within the last six weeks, the reasons for their visit, places visited, and their interactions with those abroad. Urging citizens to take their own precautions, Khan said, “This could mean that people may even stop shaking hands—no acknowledgment, kissing or even touching.”

Over 4,000 dead More than 4,000 people have died in the ongoing Ebola epidemic centered in West Africa. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) figures published last week, almost all of those deaths have been in the three worst-affected countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Ebola symptoms include severe fever, weakness, severe muscle pains, severe headaches, sore throat, profuse vomiting and diarrhoea, and a skin rash.

The virus may incubate the body for 21 days before the symptoms appear, and a blood test only becomes posi-

Ebola spreads through close contact with a symptomatic person’s bodily fluids such as blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva and semen. The WHO says blood, feces and vomit are the most infectious fluids. first signs: Duncan arrived in the US from Liberia to visit family on Sept 20, and first sought medical care for fever and abdominal pain on Sept 25. He reportedly told a nurse he had traveled from Africa, but was sent home. He returned on Sept 28 and was placed in isolation because of suspected

PM VISITS WAYNE …hunger striker critical at hospital (Trinidad Express) PRIME M i n i s t e r K a m l a P e rsad-Bissessar was at the bedside of hunger striker Dr Wayne Kublalsingh at St Clair Medical Centre in Port of Spain Sunday night.

However, she stressed that this does not mean the controversial Debe to Mon Desir section of the multi-billion-dollar extension of the Solomon Hochoy Highway to Point Fortin would be stopped. Kublalsingh was hospitalised at St Clair Medical Sunday morning after he fainted at Maracas Beach, where he planned to take a sea bath.

He embarked on a second hunger strike on September 17, demanding that the Prime Minister meet with him and the Highway Re-

Route Movement (HRM) to look at alternative routes from Debe to Mon Desir.

Kublalsingh also requested that the recommendations of the Armstrong report, which was to stop the Mon Desir to Debe section and conduct reviews, be implemented.

Persad-Bissessar attended the Office of the Prime Minister’s employee recognition, long service awards and retirement function at Hyatt Regency hotel in Port of Spain yesterday afternoon.

Members of the media were told at the function that the Prime Minister would visit Kublalsingh at the hospital after the event.

Kublalsingh’s family agreed to Persad-Bissessar’s request to visit him on a personal level.

At around 7 p.m., Persad-Bissessar arrived at the hospital, where there were scores of people outside holding a candlelight vigil and praying for Kublalsingh at nearby Nelson Mandela Park, formerly George V Park.

In a statement before visiting Kublalsingh, the Prime Minister indicated that while she was personally grieved

by Kublalsingh’s situation, she remains steadfast that the nation cannot be held to ransom and the highway’s construction will go on.

“If there were some way I could end this without compromising the better interests of the nation I would and God knows we have tried,” stated the Prime Minister.

Ebola. He died on October 1.

Mersviral threat Asked about the additional threat posed by the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers), as T&T muslims travel to that region to make hajj, Khan said the same monitoring systems will apply. Mersviral is a respiratory illness first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Its symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It is spread through close contact. So far, all cases have been linked to countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula.

We are just looking out for Jamaicans, says T&T security minister

(Jamaica Gleaner) TRINIDAD and Tobago’s National Security Minister Gary Griffith says his country’s government is actually considering the interest of Jamaicans when it denies them entry at its ports.

His comments follow reports of 13 Jamaicans who were recently denied entry to the country and allegedly held in questionable conditions.

However, speaking on Nationwide’s This Morning on Sunday, Griffith said several of the persons who were denied entry were unable to prove they had enough money to fund their stay, had lied or were unable to say where they would be staying on their visit.

In one instance he says, one of the visitors said he was going to work

for someone, but when contacted the person said he knew nothing of the visitor.

In another instance, Griffith says one of the Jamaicans ripped up an immigration form in front of the immigration officer.

According to Griffith, by carrying out this kind of screening, the country is really looking out for Jamaicans and other nationals, to ensure that they do not fall on hard times in Trinidad.

The Minister is also moving to allay concerns that the Trinidad’s immigration officers are biased against Jamaicans.

He says the fact that over 98 per cent of Jamaicans who travel to the country are granted entry is proof that no profiling is taking place.

Health official concern citizens are self-diagnosing Chik-V (Jamaica Gleaner) A SENIOR health official has raised concern that a number of Jamaicans have been diagnosing themselves with the Chikungunya virus.

Chief medical officer of the May Pen hospital in Clarendon, Dr Vitillius Reid-Holder, said people were not visiting medical facilities before declaring and treating themselves for Chik-V. Speaking at the monthly meeting of the Clarendon Parish Council late last week, Dr Reid-Holder said there was a possibility that people who have been self-diagnosing could actually be afflicted with more serious diseases, such as leptospirosis or dengue, which are also common at this time of year.

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

Another promise kept THE distribution of the promised $10,000 annual grant to the nation’s schoolchildren is one more promise kept by the PPP/C administration to the people of Guyana.

One of the key planks of Government is the enhancement of the education sector; and this has been a sustained and innovative work in progress, but the achievements so far in this sector needs volumes to chronicle, and will not be attempted herein.

President Donald Ramotar had promised that his administration would build on the foundation laid by previous PPP/C Governments, in accordance with that Party’s stated objectives in its respective Manifestos, unashamedly copied by

the Opposition parties, which created a sustained economic growth in the Guyanese economy.

S ucces s ive P P P /C administration Budgets have no doubt contextually been placed within that framework, where the PPP/C has unrelentingly striven for the continuation of the sound macroeconomic fundamentals that have driven the nation on an upward trajectory of economic growth and social development, in accordance w i t h t h e P r e s i d e n t ’s promises of continuity in the country’s development paradigm, where modern Guyana was brilliantly engineered under the supremely astute guidance of former President, Bharrat Jagdeo.

President Ramotar is intent on building on

extant development facilitators in Guyana, as well as exploring and traversing innovative and creative pathways that would channel the nation’s developmental road map to optimise the country’s growth dynamics; and he is quite prepared, even while continuously pursuing consensual positions, to forge ahead with his administration’s commitment to national development imperatives.

The diligence, perseverance, prudent fiscal configurations -- and one could even say conjurations -- to restore Guyana to a solvent status from where it once was graphed on the lowest ratings on international growth indices is a record-breaking performance of any Govern-

ment, especially when placed within a framework of constant anti-democratic, anti-national theatrics by an unpatriotic and destructive Opposition cabal, which often try to drive this country back to the brink in their quest for power, primarily through their promotion of criminal activities, their “slo’ fiah; mo’ fiah manoeuvres, their “Buxton resistance,” their continuous demonising and witch-hunting of PPP/C Government functionaries at national and international fora, which is in direct contrast to the politics of the PPP/C, which always acts in the national interest and continuously attempts to unify the nation, preferring instead to

Building bridges I READ with interest the decision of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to confer on the Pakistani teenager, Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize along with Indian campaigner against child trafficking, Kailash Satyarthi.

The fact that an Indian and a Pakistani won the Nobel Peace Prize could help in building bridges between these two powerful neighbours, especially at this time of rising tension over the situation in Kashmir.

I think the award is most deserving for both of them, who, in their own ways, have helped to raise public awareness of the obstacles that stood in the way of children to grow up and realise their dreams of a better life.

Malala was attacked in 2012 on a

school bus by masked men as a punishment for advocating education for women and girls. Ever since she was shot and the news spread across the world, I was following her recovery and progress.

She came across as someone who, even though a teenager, knew

what she was about, and stood up defiantly and courageously for what she passionately believed in, namely, the right for girls to receive education and to pursue their dreams.

I watched her speaking on television during her recent visit to Trinidad and Tobago, and I have to say that I was highly impressed by her maturity and articulation of a cause that she believed in, and for which she is now a global advocate.

She has become the youngest person to receive that prestigious award, which is a fitting recognition of her struggle and determination to make her voice heard on behalf of children throughout the world.

HYDAR ALLY

truncate its term of office at various times rather than see this nation divided unto itself.

That the Governm e n t ’s p r o g r a m m e s benefit its own supporters, and embrace every community in Guyana is moot to a muscle-flexing Opposition collective, which have been grand-standing in serious diversionary strategies meant to derail Government’s work.

They view the victims of derailed governmental initiatives as mere, in their own words, “collateral damage” in their

quest for power through the back door of the Office of the President.

H o w e v e r, b u d g e t cuts, non-support for the AML/CFT Bill, derailment of transformative projects, et al, have not diverted Government from fulfilling its Manifesto promises to the Guyanese nation of charting the peoples’ future on better roadways, literally and figuratively; and facilitating the educational pursuits of the nation’s children is a primary objective of the PPP/C administration.

Educate nation on the realities of EBOLA I AM writing to beg this newspaper to run a section daily on Ebola, detailing what it is, how it is transmitted, preventative measures, symptoms, and what is to be done if someone feels he might be infected.

I don’t know how well equipped we are to deal with an outbreak here, but I suspect we don’t have the capacity.

And I am certain the person reading this is well aware of the consequences an ignorant population would bring about, should the virus arrive here; and so, once again, I’m begging you to educate the public, in the interest of the safety and future of ourselves, and loved ones.

First batch of health care providers begin Ebola training

CEO, Mr. Michael Khan (at right) makes a point to participants

worker had tested positive for the Ebola virus, according to an AP report.

The CDC head is quoted as saying that: “The CDC will investigate how the workers took off protective gear, because removing it incorrectly can lead to contamination,” the report said.

Conducting the training is Dr. Johanna Cole, GPHC’s Internal Medicine - Infectious Diseases Consultant.

Dr. Johnson said training will equip participants to deal with the virus and the necessary approach towards administering care to persons who have contracted the virus, as well as those who are suspected to have it.

Medical professionals in training, dressed in their protective gear

By Shirley Thomas AS Guyana continues to strengthen its preparedness to deal with the dreaded Ebola disease, training of local healthcare providers yesterday commenced at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), with the training of the first batch of 20 employees.

The group is comprised of doctors, nurses, porters, technicians and other categories of healthcare providers who will have to come into contact with the targeted patients. All healthcare providers will be trained, according to Chief Executive Officer of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), Mr. Michael Khan.

However, initially 1,600 will be trained.

The move by the Ministry of Health to commence

training at this time is rather timely and comes just one day after Head of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr. Tom Frieden was reported as saying, “All health care workers need to be well trained to

deal with potential cases in their hospitals.”

Dr. Frieden made this statement on Sunday, “as he raised concerns about the possible breach of safety protocol,” in relation to the case where a Texas healthcare

Putting the PPE on and removing them correctly, cannot be overemphasised, especially since the Texas health care worker who tested positive for Ebola was said the nurse worn ‘full protective gear while caring for a hospitalised patient who later died from the virus.’

In addition, emphasis will be placed on safety and precautionary measures for healthcare providers who may come into contact with an infected person or environment, as Ebola is highly contagious and spreads rapidly through direct or indirect contact with bodily fluids.

Health care workers treating Ebola patients are among the most vulnerable, even if wearing protective gear, and for this reason the Ministry of Health will ensure that training is provided for some 1,600 medical professionals in the ensuing months.

Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Shamdeo Persaud said that two isolation and housing units for Ebola have been set up - one at the Georgetown Public Hospital and another at the West Demerara Regional (WDR) Hospital. Staff at the WDRL will also be included in the training.

The training of the medical personnel is being conducted in the massive facility at the GPHC.

PPP objects to GECOM’s appointing dismissal of Voter Education Francois as PRO …and questionsManager Ramlall

BY Telesha Ramnarine THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has written to Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) objecting to the appointment of Richard Francois as Public Relations Officer, and is awaiting “firm and decisive” action in this regard.

The PPP said so in a statement yesterday as it noted the party’s concerns over GECOM’s seemingly “flawed and secretive employment policy.”

In such organisations, transparency and accountability are critical in safeguarding its own integrity and the country’s democracy, the party observed, and hence it is expected that those placed in charge of these organisations will adopt near flawless practices and policies that will be

bi-partisan in nature, and involves the major stakeholders in decision making.

The PPP has publicly objected to the appointment of Francois, premised mainly on the fact that he has been openly supportive of the Opposition and had previously used his position and authority to display “biased” action against leading members of the PPP. The PPP said Francois’ FaceBook page can verify these claims, along with the numerous anti-PPP articles published in the Kaieteur News in his name.

“The track record of Mr. Francois speaks volume on his lack of professionalism and association with the Opposition. The PPP is fully aware that every Guyanese has a right to favour a political party, but we are also aware that an organisation like GECOM and the posi-

tion he holds comes with responsibility and fairness.

We are not confident that the nation will be fed with accurate and reliable information under Mr. Francois’s watch.”

The PPP said it finds surprising, too, the sacking of Voter education Manager, Deolall Ramlall without justification. “Mr. Ramlall has years of experience in electioneering, and with the appointment of a new CEO and DCEO one would have expected that his experience would have been necessary and vital, especially with the possibility of an early elections. One is therefore, left to wonder the motive of GECOM’s action and the rationale behind these decisions,” the party said.

MUCH POTENTIAL

Head of the IAST, Dr. Suresh Narine, who also made remarks at the press briefing, explained that the three projects have the potential for many indirect benefits to a range of other sectors.

He stated that over the next few years, the projects are expected to expand and increase the contribution it makes to the local economy.

Dr. Narine highlighted that the construction and operation of a facility to produce three tonnes per day of activated carbon from coconut shells, primarily to service the gold recovery industry in Guyana, will be the first project to get off the ground, within the next eight months.

According to him, the construction and operation of a facility to produce 200-tonnes per day of wood-pellets, for export to Europe, will take 18 months.

The third project, the construction and operation of a gasification and 8 MW electricity generating facility, will take some 24 months.

He explained that initially the Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited expressed interest only in the construction and operation of a facility to produce 200-tonnes per day of wood-pellets, but in talks with the IAST, the agreements for the other two were made.

The principals of the company contacted Guyana’s Consul in Florida, Mr. Ram Eli. The Executive Director of Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited is Mr. Manu Bansal.

ACTIVATED CARBON PRODUCTION The construction and operation of a facility to produce three tonnes per day of activated carbon from coconut shells, primarily to service the gold recovery industry in Guyana, according to Dr. Narine, will respond to a great need in Guyana.

He cited the operations of Guyana Goldfields, Sandsprings Resources and Troy Resources – all of which make

use of activated carbon in their mining activities.

Activated carbon is a non-graphite form of carbon which could be produced from any carbonaceous material, such as coal, lignite, wood, paddy husk, coir pith, coconut shell, etc. Activated carbon manufactured from coconut shell is considered superior to that obtained from other sources, mainly because of small macro pores structure which renders it more effective for the adsorption of gas/vapour and for the removal of colour and odour of compounds, and adsorption of gold in the gold mining process. Activated carbon is extensively used in the recovery of gold, refining and bleaching of vegetable oils and chemical solutions, water purification, recovery of solvents and other vapours, in gas-masks for protection against toxic gases, in filters for providing adequate protection against war gases/nuclear fall outs, etc. Steam activation and chemical activation are the two commonly used processes for the manufacture of activated carbon. However coconut shell-based activated carbon units are adopting the steam activation process to produce consistently good quality activated carbon.

The IAST Head pointed out that the investment for this project is some US$2.5M. WOOD PELLET PLANT

With the construction and operation of a facility to produce 200-tonnes per day of wood-pellets, there is also growing demands.

Global production of wood-pellets has steeply climbed from eight million tons per year in 2007 to more than 13 million tons in 2009. Of this production, European countries consumed more than 8 million tons (2009). North American production was approximately 7 million tons in 2009, of which almost 5 million tons was exported to Europe. The European Biomass Association estimates that wood-pellet consumption in Europe will reach 50 million tons per year by 2020.

Pinnacle Green Resources (Guyana) Limited is expected to begin cultivation of an energy plantation on the 5, 000 acres of land in the Pomeroon.

The crop for the plantation is the plant Leucaenaleuco-

cephala, which is a non-invasive species present in Guyana (called the Jumbie Bean).

Dr. Narine stated that, according to a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the company and Go-Invest, in the period before the plantation begins to produce, the company shall utilise the significant amount of wood species which are non-timber species in Guyana that are not harvested.

Guyana only harvests a fraction of what its sustainable forestry regulations allow, due to the presence of many species of wood that are not sought as timber species. In addition, the company shall utilise the significant waste wood that is generated from the trimming of logs and trees for export.

The total investment for this project is estimated at US$16.5M. The MOU also stated that the intent of the company is to expand this investment in future years, once the initial facility is operational.

ELECTRICITY GENERATION The final project for the construction and operation of a gasification and 8 MW electricity generating facility in Guyana is expected to respond to the electricity demand and cost.

In Guyana there is no significant local generation of electricity from sources other than diesel and heavy oil. It is estimated that electricity generation in the country ranges between 45 and 55 percent of Gross Domestic Product.

Additionally, Dr. Narine said, the biomass opportunity in Guyana is significant. “Guyana produces an estimated 300 per cent of its diesel demand equivalent in biomass on an annual basis,” he said.

This biomass is in the form of agricultural waste (rice hulls and bagasse) and forestry waste from logging and sawmilling.

And so there is a significant opportunity to utilise this waste biomass for the generation of electricity.

The investment on this project is estimated at US$16.6M. The announcement of the three projects comes at a time when Guyana’s potential for green businesses have been widely expounded on.

programme, Guyanese who would have resided overseas for more than five years and are returning home to reside are entitled to a number of benefits, among which are import duty-free waivers for vehicles, and tax exemption for household items, once the items at reference were owned for six months or more in the country where the remigrant was living.

In Lall’s case, husband and wife Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan were entitled to concessions as two separate individuals, although a joint application was submitted.

The Brijnanans, having decided to return to Guyana to live permanently, were entitled to certain tax breaks, so they imported two luxury vehicles. But the address they gave on the

registration forms for both vehicles, Lot 8 Continental Park, East Bank Demerara, was that of their son, Navin Sankar, even though the Lalls are the primary users of the vehicles.

The vehicle, PRR 8398, for instance, is usually parked in front of the Kaieteur News head office on Saffon Street, Charlestown, while PRR 8399 is often seen on Regent Street, in the heart of the city, near Bhena’s Footwear, the shoe business operated by Lall’s wife.

The Brijnanans successfully obtained import duty concessions in the sum of $4,222,223.55 for each vehicle, totalling in excess of $8M. Meanwhile, this newspaper’s research into the source price for a Lexus L570 is about US$80,000. Import duty for such a vehicle would be a total of US$94,500, bring-

ing the total value of the vehicle to US$174,500, or more than G$36M for each of the vehicles imported by the Brijnanans.

If the alleged violations are upheld, it would mean that the Government was cheated out of a total of US$189,000, or almost $40M in import duty for the two vehicles.

At the end of August, after an hours-long standoff between GRA officials and the Brijnanans’ son, Sankar, a high-ranking GRA employee, the vehicles were handed over to GRA and impounded at the authority’s warehouse.

An investigation was then launched to ensure that procedures and policy, as well as the provisions of the law, were adhered to. The criminal charges, this newspaper understands, stem from that investigation.

Freedoms won are the PPP/C’s greatest achievement for Guyanese – AG ‘After 1992 we gained freedom and we kept it, we have progressively been expanding it, so that every day you become a freer people, our country becomes a freer society, because with freedom comes progress.’ –AG and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall

By Vanessa Narine “I BELIEVE that the freedom which we have won for our people is our greatest achievement. Human history is a history of man’s struggle for freedom. In whatever epoch of history you examine, what were the people under slavery fighting for? What were the indentured servants fighting for? Freedom.”

This is according to Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, who adds that freedom and justice are two interchangeable concepts, since without one you cannot have the other.

The AG’s remarks were made on Saturday in his feature address at a symposium attended by approximately 100 persons in Region 2 (Pomeroon/ Supenaam), on the Peoples Progressive Party’s ascension to office on October 5, 1992 and the achievements the Civic arm made in Government over the last 22 years.

He said, “Without freedom, you can’t have justice, without justice there is no freedom. When we were a colony, what were the leaders of our party during that period fighting for?

Freedom from colonialism.

“When we won independence, what was our party struggling and fighting for? Freedom from a dictatorship under the People’s National Congress (PNC); and if you examine human civilisation you will see that man has not progressed in any society in which he does not enjoy freedom.”

He made it clear that the freedoms won by the ruling People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) over the last two decades have translated itself into different spheres and includes economic, social, financial, constitutional and legal freedom.

“Lands have always progressed, societies have always advanced, and countries have always developed once there is freedom. Any society that takes away the freedom from citizens is a society that perishes,” the AG stressed.

A HARD FOUGHT STRUGGLE Nandlall added that the freedoms that Guyanese enjoy today are reflective of stark differences, when compared to the past.

He said, “The freedom that we enjoy today, a simple freedom to vote, to elect a Government of your choice, was taken away from Guyanese people for 28 years.

“Imagine you did not have a say in who leads your country, who made decisions that will impact your lives; who made decisions that will impact the future, your children’s future, your grandchildren’s future?

“You had no say in that process because the right and the freedom you have now to make a contribution, to select or

elect people whom you think are qualified, whom you trust, whom you support to make those decisions, that freedom was taken away from you.”

The AG highlighted that in 1992, after 28 years of struggle, the ruling party, with the people of this country by its side, was able to win back freedom after a hard fought struggle.

“We were able to hold elections every five years in accordance with the laws of our country and the people were allowed to vote freely and that is what brought the prosperity you see around you today,” he said.

Nandlall made it clear that since that victory, the PPP/C has been able to not only maintain the hard won freedoms, Attorney-General but have since expanded them.

Anil Nandlall “After 1992, we gained freedom and we kept it, we have progressively been expanding it, so that every day you become a freer people, our country becomes a freer society, because with freedom comes progress,” he said.

PAST CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN The AG contends that despite the fact that progress has been made, the past must not be forgotten. “It is my considered view that a people who forget their past are a people who are condemned to repeat it,” he said.

He maintained that there have been many changes, with every section of society now empowered.

Nandlall cited the pending no-confidence motion against the current Administration and stated that it was the PPP/C that amended the “Burnham Constitution” to allow the majority membership in the National Assembly to express their view.

“We gave them that power and that freedom and that is our achievement,” he said.

According to him, every section of Guyanese society, including political parties, have more freedoms today than in the past.

“Political parties have more power than they ever had, they have more freedom than they ever had, and we continue to work to ensure that those freedoms continue to be expanded.

As I said, a people who are denied their freedom are a people who will not be progressive,” he said.

The AG bemoaned the fact that while the ruling party has used its hard won freedoms to advance a development thrust for the benefit of all Guyanese, the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), have obstructed progress at every turn.

He said, “Look at the history when we were in Government, in the 50s and 60s, we made tremendous development.

We built the University of Guyana, we built the School of Agriculture, and we built all the technical institutions. We built canals; the agricultural base of this country was set during that period. It was during that period that the Rice Producers Association was formed.

“The AFC and APNU won the Parliament in the last election; they control the Parliament, what have they achieved for the people of this country? Rather than use that one seat majority to get the Government to deliver more, they are trying to cut every budget so that we can deliver less to the people,” Nandlall charged.

He reiterated that the past must not be forgotten and committed the PPP/C to pressing forward with its developmental thrust to improve the lives of the people of Guyana.

MOVING FORWARD Addressing the way forward, the AG stated that the ruling party will protect its hard won freedoms for the sake of the people of Guyana and will consolidate those and further build on them.

“The first change, that you have to make, is to ensure that you have the right people in Government, because when we are out of Government, freedom is taken away from the Guyanese people, progress is denied the Guyanese people, and there is economic stagnation,” he charged.

According to him, Government has visionary plans for the country in the coming year, including a move to ensure that every child in the country has access to the internet and is empowered to maximise on the prevailing age of Information Communication and Technology (ICT); the development of a deep water harbour, which will improve trade for the country, among other indirect benefits; a modern airport, which will see Guyana becoming the gateway to South America; and the development of the country’s agriculture potential to ensure that Guyana not only leads the Caribbean in this regard, among others.

“That is what we want to achieve and it can only be achieved if we remain a democratic country and the people of this country continue to enjoy their rights and freedom,” he concluded.

CEO appointed as CAHFSA becomes operational

THE Caribbean Agricultural Health and Food Safety Agency (CAHFSA) is now operational. Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lindley Collins, was appointed recently, Deputy Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Ambassador, Dr. Manorma Soeknandan announced last Wednesday.

“We trust that we will soon be able to make more progress with the appointment of additional core staff,” Ambassador Soeknandan said at the formal opening ceremony of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) 2014 in Paramaribo, Suriname, a press release stated.

CAHFSA, which is based in Suriname, was launched in March 2010. The Agency was approved in Roseau, Dominica, at the Twenty-First Inter-Sessional Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government. CAHFSA’s operations are vital to fulfilling the provisions of the Treaty of Chaguaramas which call for the establishment of an effective Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) regime and for the harmonisation of laws, administrative practices and procedures in respect of agriculture. The Regional Transformation Programme for Agriculture, usually referred to as the Jagdeo Initiative, has identified the current

agricultural health and food safety system as a key binding constraint to the further development of the Region’s agricultural sector.

Among CAHFSA’s tasks are developing technical measures and protocols required to achieve SPS certification for agricultural trade.

CAHFSA will also devise arrangements to reduce the use of SPS measures as non-tariff barriers, including undue administrative delays in the clearance of perishable agricultural goods as restrictions to agricultural trade, the release concluded.

Let the investigation into Lall’s actions speak for itself – PPP - questions KN’s claims of attack on press freedom, Opposition support

THE charge by Kaieteur News that there is an attack on press freedom afoot, following allegations of tax evasion by its publisher, Glenn Lall, and its call on the public for support, have been noted by the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

And the PPP contends that these two positions are “interesting” developments emanating from the reports in the local daily.

“The People’s Progressive Party is keenly following the issue regarding the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the publisher of the Kaieteur News, Mr. Glenn Lall….we await the outcome of current investigations into alleged tax evasion and misuse of benefits for re-migrants,” the party said in a statement issued yesterday.

PRESS FREEDOM On the issue of press freedom, the PPP questioned the correlation between allegations of tax evasion and talk of an attack on press freedom.

“The question must be asked of the Kaieteur News; how does an issue of alleged tax evasion and abuse of some benefits of the re-migrant scheme be deemed an attack on freedom of expression?” the party said.

The ruling party contends that there seems to be an attempt to purposely divert attention from the real issues. “(They) are implying that it’s about the Government wanting to close the entity,” the party said.

According to the PPP, the Kaieteur News needs to be reminded that it was the PPP-led Government that restored freedom of expression to this country after decades of oppression imposed by the dictatorial People’s National Congress (PNC) regime.

The party said, “During that oppressive reign many were jailed and some lost their lives in the struggle to freely express themselves. Then there were only two daily newspapers, three private television stations and the government TV and radio channels.

“Today, there are four established daily newspapers, over fifteen private television stations, some ten private radio stations and numerous online news entities, most of them owned privately. Journalists, columnists and commentators, on a daily basis, freely express themselves without any semblance of fear which permeated the landscape under the PNC dictatorship.”

The ruling party stressed that freedom of expression has now become engrained in our society and is testimony to the tenets of democracy that prevails.

“Guyanese must be cognizant of these attempts by the Kaieteur News to deceive and not allow themselves to be hoodwinked in the process. The record of the PPP and the Government it leads in defence of press freedom and freedom

of expression is unmatched in our nation,” it said.

CALL FOR SUPPORT On the issue of a public call for support, the PPP stated that the grounds on which the calls for support are based are questionable.

The Kaieteur News, in a Page One comment titled, ‘Will you stand by us’, last week appealed to the public for solidarity, in the face of what it alleges is a ploy by people in high places to destroy its operations.

“We call on all political parties, trade unions, the Guyana Bar Association, the religious community, the Guyana Press Association, other civil society groupings and you the citizens to rally by the side of Kaieteur News,” the local daily said.

Simultaneously, the joint opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), also indicated their willingness to support the paper.

General-Secretary of APNU, Mr. Joseph Harmon, was quoted in an edition of the Kaieteur News as saying, “We want to put the Government and Sattaur on notice that we will not sit idly by and watch them violate the rights of citizens,” adding that the newspaper has the Coalition’s “unwavering” support in the fight for democracy against the powers-that-be.

The AFC, in a separate statement, has also expressed similar sentiments. “The AFC executive meeting on Saturday also expressed solidarity with Kaieteur News, which is being subjected to attempts to muzzle the free press.”

AFC Executive Members, Mr. Moses Nagamootoo, Mr. Nigel Hughes and its leader, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, have been the most vocal on this issue.

The PPP in commenting on the series of events since the paper made its call said, “We believe that this is clearly a desperate effort by the newspaper to evoke sympathy. What is even more astonishing is the automatic show of support by the Opposition regarding the newspaper’s fabrication.”

According to the ruling party, the Opposition parties’ stance is not surprising, given the Kaieteur News’ role in “propagating and defending” the Opposition.

“Is the Opposition saying that it supports the evasion of taxes by an individual or entity as alleged? If that’s the case, then it’s another demonstration by the Opposition condoning illegalities,” the PPP questioned.

The party made it clear that the Opposition, in supporting the local daily, has once again demonstrated its engrained propensity for such actions and to remain hypocritical.

“Many Guyanese, including Government and Party officials, have in the past condemned the newspaper for its unethical and unprofessional journalism which is being used to assassinate and smear peoples’ characters. Our Party must ask if this is what the Opposition supports….the PPP remains

cognizant of the prevailing freedom of expression within our country and, as such, respects the Opposition’s right to support anything it chooses including alleged unlawful activities,” the PPP concluded.

ALLEGATIONS OF WRONGDOING Recently, the publisher of the Kaieteur News has been fingered in tax evasion schemes.

In early September, Lall was alleged to have evaded taxes for over a decade now. Reports are that Mr. Lall, the owner of the Guyana National Media Publishing Company, is being investigated by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) for the importation of printing ink packaged as a CARICOM (Caribbean Community) product, which enjoys duty free concessions under the Revised Treaty of Chaguramas. Upon closer inspection, however, it was allegedly found that the origin of the inks was from overseas; and therefore in breach of the Treaty. As it relates to the progress of the investigation of the alleged tax evasion, the Guyana Chronicle has been given to understand that the necessary verification requests are still with the relevant authorities in Trinidad and Tobago.

Prior to the tax evasion allegation, Mr. Lall was fingered in an alleged remigrant duty-free concession scam.

Six criminal charges have altogether been since filed against Lall; his wife, Bhena; and Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan, who have all been implicated in the scam.

The charges follow the seizure of two vehicles allegedly at the centre of a duty-free scam. The two vehicles in question, PRR 8398 and PRR 8399, were handed over to GRA and impounded at the Authority’s warehouse at the end of August, after an hours-long standoff between GRA officials and the Brijnanans’ son, Navin Sankar, a high-ranking GRA employee.

An investigation was then launched to ensure that procedures and policy, as well as the provisions of the law were adhered to. The criminal charges, this newspaper understands, stem from that investigation.

Also, in mid-September, both Lall and his wife were sued

by Acting Town Clerk of the Mayor and City Council, Ms. Carol Sooba, for the sum of $5,660,142.00 and $60,142 as unpaid rates and taxes for the years 2004 to 2013 in relation to their property at 24 Saffon Street. The case is currently being heard at the Georgetown Magistrates Court.

Kaieteur News’ claim of a sinister plot to destroy it, as well as its call for solidarity from the Guyanese public, is said to be linked, largely, to the GRA’s move to investigate the daily’s operations, via an impending audit. However, Guyana’s tax laws regulating the powers of the Authority are clear, and the GRA has repeatedly said its investigations are grounded on firm bases and not aimed at “destroying” the paper.

‘GLIMPSES OF A GLOBAL LIFE’

SIR SHRIDATH Ramphal, an internationally admirable voice of the Caribbean, is now ready to share ‘glimpses’ of his global life in a most informative book by that name, scheduled to be released in London on November 1.

This is the latest work by Ramphal, a prolific writer and statesman, former three-term Commonwealth Secretary General, one of the primary movers for the Caribbean Community and Chairman of ‘The West Indian Commission’.

The book is to be formally launched in the UK at Marlborough House in London on November 6. Subsequent launches are scheduled for the US at the Organisation of American States, Washington on November 14; in Canada at Massey College, Toronto on November 19; in Guyana at The International Conference Centre, Turkeyen on November 26; in Trinidad at UWI St Augustine on November 26; in Jamaica at UWI Mona on December 3; and in Barbados at UWI Cave Hill on December 12.

Ramphal is also author of “Inseparable Humanity” and “Our Global Neighbourhood”.

Heading a list of what some of the world’s leading statesmen has to say about “glimpses of Ramphal’s global life” the former United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, noted: “Sonny Ramphal describes his vision and crafts a rich account of his service to the international community. The book provides a timely reminder of the importance of multilateral cooperation….”

Sir Shridath Ramphal “Sonny Ramphal has

written an extremely valuable book. I know first-hand of the patience and strong leadership he displayed in bringing the Commonwealth nations together for the greatest achievements in its history ... [He] recaptures the drama and colour of some historic moments accurately and well.”

For Brian Mulroney, former Prime Minister of Canada, the book is “a brilliant recollection ... of an intellectual titan whose breadth of talents and depth of experience resulted in the summons to serve on six international Commissions.”

For the former three-term Prime Minister of Jamaica, who worked closely with him for a number of years, P.J. Patterson, Ramphal has written what he views as “a beautifully written and revelatory story stemming not just from his adroit use of 20th century papers released under the 30-year rule, but his description of his ancestral past and the links between slavery and indenture….” (R. SINGH)

No move yet to relocate vendors at derelict Stabroek Market wharf area - Deputy Mayor - entire wharf needs to be completely overhauled, councillors say

By Shirley Thomas DEPUTY Mayor of Georgetown, Ms. Patricia Green finds it strange that to date a meeting of the Public Health Market and City Works has not been called to discuss the collapse of a section of the roof over the Stabroek Market Wharf and the relocation of vendors in the interest of their safety and other persons using the facility.

And Mr. Ranwell Jordan, former Mayor and current Chairman of the Markets and Public Health Committee is adamant that vendors continue to be exposed to danger, which threatens their life and limbs, and not relocated. He reasoned that should persons be injured under the circumstances, the Council will have to take liability, because “it is aware of the state and position of that wharf and it is their (Council’s) responsibility to effect repairs.”

SITE VISIT In this regard, the Deputy Mayor, along with Public Relations Officer Royston King, last Friday headed a delegation of Councillors on a tour of the troubled and controversial Stabroek Market wharf where they had a firsthand look at the situation, and the impending dangers to which lives are continuously exposed.

Members of the delegation included Mr. Ranwell

Jordan, former Mayor and current Chairman of Markets and Public Health Committee and Councillors, Victor Sobers, Gladstone George and others.

IMMINENT DANGER But on arriving at the facility, it was found that not only is the roof in a bad shape, but the floor as well is badly in need of repairs. The roof appears to be descending gradually and other parts (not previously affected) now seem to be in imminent danger of collapse as well.

All told, there are about 60 stalls on the wharf and the officials are in one accord that the entire wharf needs to be completely overhauled, especially since each time the stelling is hit by boats mooring alongside the wharf, it shifts the foundation and even the floor threatens to collapse.

However, about 20 vendors, towards the north western end of the wharf need to be relocated immediately. The officers spoke with stall holders who say they are fully aware of the risks and dangers associated with their continued vending under such precarious conditions, but are forced to do so, out of necessity. They lack any other means of earning their livelihood. In the meantime, they are anxiously awaiting informed advice on the way forward and are hoping things turn out in their favour.

Deputy Mayor, Patricia Chase Green (at centre) and team along with journalists under the collapsed roof at Stabroek Market wharf (Sonnel Nelson photos)

Perturbed, the Deputy Mayor who notes that neither has the section of the wharf been closed, nor the vendors relocated since the collapse of the roof, questioned why was a meeting of Public Health Market and City Works not called urgently to deal with it. “Regardless of what report would have been put up by the Engineer’s Department, there must be a meeting of the Statutory body, which is the city Works Committee and the Public Health Markets Committee to bring a recommendation to full Council on the way forward for this,” she stressed.

Green was adamant that even if there is to be involvement from the Government (which Council will be grateful for anyway), it has to go through the Council. She said that regardless of what assistance might be forthcoming, it has to go through the statutory committee, thence to the full Council for decisions to be made.

“We ought to have met to deal with this matter, and that has not happened. The Council has to make all decisions on the way forward,” she reiterated.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ranwell Jordan, Chairman of Markets and Public Health Committee, asked for a comment, said: “I would say that is a pity that the Stabroek Market Wharf should be in that condition, because that is an area that we focused on nearly a

year ago and monies were voted for emergency repairs, but unfortunately, nothing was done.”

He recalled the incident where a beam fell from the roof and injured someone, and figured that should have been a reminder as to the urgency of having the wharf repaired, still nothing was done.

Jordan said following the September 16 collapse, the Ministry of Works was called in to give an assessment, together with the Engineer’s Department. At the last statutory meeting, the Engineer’s Department reported that they had put up an estimate for repairs, and that the Ministry of Works had offered assistance. He quoted the engineer as saying that the estimate was submitted to the Town Clerk and therefore together with the Ministry of Works they were going to discuss the project in an effort to implement repairs.

Jordan said that in the meantime it was suggested that those persons occupying that area be removed, and added, “… because any emergency, you will have life and limb being affected by falling beams there.”

He said based on what was seen at the site on the wharf, it is evident that although Council took a decision that the wharf should be cleared, that had not been done. Jordan viewed the matter seriously and said that at the Statutory Meeting Monday, Council will need to find out what really is going on in terms of the administration carrying out its function. He noted that for some time now, the administration seems to be ‘doing their own thing’ which is not in the best interest of the Council nor the communities involved.

Asked whether there is money in place at this time to effect the emergency repairs, Mr. Jordan replied in the affirmative. “Yes, there would be money in place, because the engineer, at the last statutory meeting, indicated that they had put up what was considered necessary for some action to be taken.”

Given that the vendors

The roof over the Stabroek Market Wharf are relocated, asked how soon would the repairs possibly commence, the Chairman of the Markets and Public Health Committee, replied, “I would hope that works could commence immediately … I

to commence repairs, would they take liability, Mr. Jordan replied: “I want to believe that Council will have to accept liability, because the Council is aware of the state and position of that wharf and

The floor of Stabroek Market wharf

would hope because as you see the beams are hanging there treacherously and it is not something we should play with.” He said that the visit to the wharf (on Friday) he hopes, will once again reopen and re-awaken the type of interest that had been shown ever since.

And asked, should anyone be injured during the time that Council is waiting

it is Council’s responsibility to effect repairs.”

He stressed that, the fact that the Markets and Public Health Committee had recommended that the area be cleared and the administration has still not done that, it means the administration and not particularly the Council, will have to accept responsibility.

Fire Service hosts field day exercise to heighten awareness on fire safety

–As part of National Fire Prevention Week activities

A Fire Service Officer speaking to students

Students gathered at the National Park tarmac to witness a demonstration on how to put out a fire

AS part of the observance of the 40th National Fire Prevention Week, the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) on Friday hosted an exercise at the National Park that saw fire officers interacting with a number of students from schools around the city. The main objective of this event was

to raise a greater sense of awareness of fire safety and prevention.

This year, the theme for the week is, “Fire Safety, a national priority, get involved.”

Students were shown outdoor demonstrations, given information about fire-fighters and tips on not

only how to prevent fires, but what they can do to keep safe in the event of one.

Both students and adults were given a first-hand look at the day to day operations of the fire service.

Students were also given the opportunity to go on a fire truck and an airport fire rescue vehicle.

Sasha Adams of North Ruimveldt Secondary said that the exhibition was extremely informative. She, like many others was not aware that ranks of the fire service not only put out fires, but also responded to calls at the scene of accidents.

Otis Charles, who is the

Sub-Officer in Charge at the fire unit at the Ogle Airport, explained that education on the dangers of fire is the only way to prevent them.

He noted that mistakes such as going to bed with a lighted cigarette, not turning off gas cylinders, poor supervision of children at home and faulty electrical appliances and outlets can result in devastating losses.

Ed Gravesande from the West Ruimveldt Primary School said, “As a teacher, I

look forward to this yearly, the various techniques, strategies and methods that they showcase. This will not only enlighten pupils, but will help adults to practise these measures at home.”

According to Chief Fire Officer Marlon Gentle, the GFS receives about six to eight calls per day in the City, and about 40-50 calls per day in outlying areas.

So far this year, nine persons have lost their lives to fire.

Sharma Solomon is 'Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!' on Linden toll increase – Minister Whittaker

By Derwayne Wills WHILE Cabinet has approved a toll increase for the Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge in the Linden mining town, Regional Chairman of Region 10, Sharma Solomon said to the media that neither Lindeners nor the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Linden Town Council were informed.

Responding to this allegation, Local Government Minister, Norman Whittaker on Monday asserted that the Regional Chairman is “Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”

Cabinet had given the ‘green light’ for the increase of the toll, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon during a recent press conference. As with existing arrangements, the revenue gained through

the increases would be shared between the IMC and NICIL. In defence of the decision taken to increase the toll, Minister Whittaker stressed that communication had been maintained regularly between the subject Ministry, National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) and the Linden Town Council.

BAFFLED Whittaker was baffled by the allegations coming from the RDC Chairman as he said that “the proposals for the increase came from the IMC” for which he maintained that he was in “constant contact with the Chairman of the IMC, Mr. Orin Gordon and Town Clerk, Ms. Jonella Bowen.”

The Local Gov’t Minister some time ago held discussions with Prime

Minister Samuel Hinds, National Industrial and Commercial Investments Ltd (NICIL) Director, Mr. Winston Brassington, and Executive Interim Management Committee Chairman of the Linden Town Council, Mr. Orin Gordon at the Ministry’s Boardroom.

The aim of that meeting, according to Whittaker, was to “revisit the request of the Linden Town Council for an increase of the toll fees that are paid for the use of the Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge.” This was necessary since the Minister had rejected the initial intention of the council to increase the toll without the necessary approval from Central Government.

At that very meeting with the stakeholders, a verbal agreement was made to have the proposal of the Linden Town Council resubmitted to the Ministry.

The Minister had given all assurances that once the proposal was drafted and submitted to the Ministry then the toll increase would be discussed thoroughly by Cabinet. Prime Minister Hinds too gave his word to the IMC Chairman.

He added that the decision from Cabinet was related to the IMC Chairman.

While Whittaker expressed uncertainty about whether Gordon had informed Regional Chairman, Sharma Solomon, he said that the decision of Cabinet was related to the IMC Chairman.

He also noted that he would have expected the IMC Chairman to be in discussion with the Regional Chairman even before the proposals. “I would expect the IMC chairman to report [to the RDC Chairman but perhaps the IMC Chairman should have spoken with him (Solomon) before the

proposal.”

Efforts to contact the Regional Chairman, IMC Chairman and the Linden Town Clerk, Jonella Bowen were unsuccessful.

Minister Whittaker has said that he first knew of the proposed increase in a newspaper article, which declared that the municipality had intended to implement the proposed toll increases with effect from September 1, 2014 by some 25%.

After consulting the Demerara River (Mackenzie) Bridge Act, Cap 51:04, and Section 11 of the Linden Municipal Toll Point bylaws, which refer to the power to increase tolls, the Minister quoted the legislation as saying: “The council shall have the power to increase tolls subject to the approval of the Minister.”

It was noted too in the

bylaws which the Minister referenced that “such increases shall be in conformity with the submission of supplementary estimates and financial regulations; [to which] the Minister shall reserve the right to accept or reject any proposal for the increases or proposed increases of tolls sent to him.”

In previous times, NICIL held responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the bridge. The IMC will receive 70 percent of revenue while the other 30 percent will be apportioned to NICIL. Dr. Luncheon said too that the Public Works Minister, Robeson Benn was recently gazetted as the Minister with responsibility for the bridge and would sign the ministerial order permitting the increases and the sharing of proceeds.

As Hicken launches Mocha youth group…

Police send strong message to negative role models

By Leroy Smith

COMMANDER of ‘A’ Division, Clifton Hicken on Saturday sent a strong message to residents along the East Bank of Demerara, especially those in Mocha Arcadia, that the police will not condone those who seek to act as bad role models for the young people.

Hicken made the comments while addressing a gathering of young people and some parents in Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara where the police launched a youth group. The

launching was expected to be done some time back but was placed on hold due to preparations for GuyExpo.

MESSAGE He said that now that the police would be having a closer relationship with the community, a message is being sent to persons who are in the habit of smoking illicit drugs, being in possession of illegal weapons and who gamble to desist from those practices.

According to the commander, should the police find anyone involved in such activities they will be dealt

with condignly since such influences and role models are poisonous to the minds of the young children who may feel that such activities when unchallenged are normal.

Hicken called on the community to support the work of the police and urged residents to come out in partnership so that each child in Mocha Arcadia can rest assured that their village elders are part of a process that is geared towards making them better young people.

The approach being taken by the police in the community will be similar to what obtained in places like Agricola, Grove and other communities where the police have started a

USAID assures continued support to end gender-based violence, HIV-related issues GUYANA will continue to receive support from the United States Government in an effort to end genderbased violence and HIV-related stigma and discrimination, in order to improve the lives of every Guyanese, according to Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy, Mr. Bryan Hunt.

He was speaking at a stakeholders meeting hosted by representatives of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/ Advancing Partnering and Communities project.

In brief remarks at the meeting at Grand Costal Inn, Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara, he said that by advancing the social quality for those affected by HIV, for women, and for those who are still on the margins of society would be “the pathway to achieving zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS- related deaths.”

NEW OUTLOOK This approach is supported by the findings from the rapid assessment on HIV-related stigma and discrimination and gender-based violence. The study shows that there is a need for a new outlook on structural and

gender-based violence.

Chargé d’Affaires of the United States Embassy in Georgetown, Mr. Bryan Hunt

programmatic directions in Guyana for a high turnover in results when it comes to addressing the issue of HIV-related stigma and gender-based violence.

There is need for the integration of gender-based violence prevention, and stigma and discrimination reduction into existing health programmes, in addition to improving the use of data and research to enhance gender-based violence prevention and response efforts, and expand efforts to address

IMPLICATIONS Fundamentally, however, Hunt noted that these implications play significant implications for the continued spread of HIV. They re-enforce prevailing gender, race and socio-economic inequities that hinder access to the resources made available for prevention.

Worldwide, as many as one in three women are beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in some other way, most often by an intimate partner or another male family member. The risk for HIV among female survivors of violence is up to three times higher than the HIV risk for women who have not been subjected to violence.

In Guyana, according to Red Thread organisation, 26.6% of women in a relationship reported personal experience of physical abuse, 2.1 % verbal abuse and a 65.8 had suffered sexual abuse. “The magnitude of each epidemic is troubling, offends our sense of humanity and constrains, in very concrete ways, the potential of achieving universal access to HIV treatment, care and support services to achieve an HIV-free generation.” (Clestine Juan)

partnership.

The commander made it clear that there will no rush of police ranks into the village but if during the interaction it is expressed by the law-abiding citizens that such an approach is needed then the police will assess the situation and make the necessary decisions.

As part of the work the police would be doing with the community is the development of two separate football teams of males and females. There would also be the rolling out of several skills training programmes.

This, however, will depend

on discussions between the police and residents this coming Saturday at 10:00hrs.

The discussions will also focus on the development of a budget that will address the issues of engaging the young people of the community, primarily between the ages of 3 and 18.

UNEMPLOYMENT Mocha Arcadia is not known for serious crimes compared to other communities along the East Bank corridor, but the community has a very high number of unemployed persons, especially males.

That is one of the issues the police would be looking to address. One police officer who dwells in the community at the village outpost said that reports are usually about minor incidents but the issue of unemployed young people has not gone unnoticed.

Since the village itself does not have many established businesses, the police are calling on the business community to team up with the police to address this issue, either through the ‘A’ Division Commander’s office or the Commissioner of Police.

Welshman beaten, forced to jump from moving car

By Leroy Smith JOHNNY WELSHMAN was on Sunday afternoon beaten by two men after he joined a taxi on the seawall.

Information reaching the Guyana Chronicle yesterday stated that the young man, who has been accusing the Speaker of the National Assembly of sexually assaulting him several years ago, was walking along the Kitty Seawall when a vehicle pulled up alongside him and enquired if he needed a taxi.

Contacted yesterday, sources close to the young man, who is widely believed to be out of sorts, confirmed the incident and related that the young man did report his story to the Alberttown Police Station.

According to the information made available to this publication, after the young man was picked up by the taxi, the vehicle drove to a location in Kingstown where the driver stopped to ‘get something’.

Then two men approached the vehicle, one reportedly armed with a gun, and they began beating Welshman. The driver came back and the vehicle moved towards Alberttown, as Welshman continued to be beaten by the men.

Reports say Welshman managed to get out of the moving vehicle and he was assisted by passersby to report the matter at the Alberttown Police Station.

The police are investigating.

Regional and international organisations pledge support to family farmers KEY regional and international organisations have pledged their commitment to improving the lot of family farmers across the Caribbean Region through collaboration with each other.

In their remarks at the formal opening ceremony of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) in Paramaribo, Suriname on Wednesday, 8th October, representatives of regional and international organisations lamented that family farmers were unheralded, even though they were playing a critical role in the agriculture sector, a press release said.

“Transforming Caribbean Agriculture through Family Farming’ was the theme of this year’s CWA. FAMILY FARMING Family farmers include indigenous peoples, traditional communities, fisher folk, pastoralists, and collectors. Family farming is understood to include crop, livestock, forestry, fishery and aquaculture producers.

These producers are largely smallholders and mediumscale farmers and peasants.

They play a vital role in helping to reduce the high food import bill as well as in aiding the revitalisation of agriculture in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

About 80 per cent of the food supply in developing and developed countries is produced by an estimated 500 million family farms, Dr. Deep Ford Regional Coordinator, Caribbean Region, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said in his remarks to the opening ceremony, according to the release.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, family farming accounts for more than 80 per cent of agricultural production and generates more than 50% of agricultural employment. In Haiti alone, there are one million family farmers who produce about 50 per cent of the food that is consumed there.

“In addition to being a major supplier of traditional food which contributes to healthy, balanced diets, family farming provides employment opportunities, preserves and enhances the culture, skills and traditions of local communities and contributes to the conservation of plant and animal species,” he said.

Although strides have been made in family farming in CARICOM, much more needs to be done to improve the lot of those farmers. For starters, there was need for the development of a Caribbean definition of family

farmers in consideration of the diverse range of circumstances under which family farms in the Region operated.

IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS “This is necessary so that we can develop targeted policies, directed at specific family farms. This includes technologies to enhance the productivity of family farmers tailored to their specific circumstances, taking into account the people and the environment. We must also promote, enhance and expand their current sustainable practices and ensure that they not only feed their families but feed the rest of country and Region, so that we rely less on imported foods. Also, we must ensure that these families realise improved livelihoods. Family farmers are among the poorest households in our countries,” Dr. Ford pointed out.

The FAO regional coordinator said the FAO was committed to supporting regional and national efforts in a number of areas.

Among them: developing the detailed analysis to inform the identification and evaluation of policy options, trade policy assessments, vulnerability and resilience analysis, and developing measures to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability, including the design of effective social protection systems.

PARTNERS In recognition that such an undertaking could not be done alone, he said that FAO will continue to collaborate with developmental partners such as CARDI, IICA, CTA, CaFaN, CABA, CCCCCs; CARICOM, Governments, civil society, private sector and academia to support family farmers in the Region.

The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), a key partner in the hosting of the CWA, also weighed in on the importance of family farmers.

CTA Director, Mr. Michael Hailu, said his organisation wanted to explore how to make conditions better for smallholder farmers who he described as the backbone of food production in the Caribbean.

“There is also another important dimension to family farming. I’m talking about young people and the role that they should and can play in supporting agricultural development, in light of an ageing farmer

community in the Caribbean and across the ACP,” he told the audience at the opening ceremony.

YOUNG PEOPLE That was the reason CTA was making a special effort to encourage young people to engage in agriculture in ways they could relate to, utilising new technologies that were far removed from the old image of agriculture, he said.

The CTA has spearheaded two competitions this year aimed at youth and the innovative contributions they could make to agriculture and rural development in the Caribbean.

For many years, the populace of the Region has depended on family farming to keep it satisfied, said Dr. Arlington Chesney, Executive Director of the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI).

“It is the income from family farms that has facilitated the education of most of our doctors, engineers, lawyers and perhaps politicians. But the family farmers have generally been unheralded and sometimes despised. It is my sincere hope that following CWA and 2014, the family farm and the family farmers will be given the respect and place of honour that they are so deserving of,” he said.

The reality of family farming in the Region includes thousands of small farms as well as some successful large farms, all applying indigenous knowledge and technology and acting as innovators in their own right, Dr. Victor Villalobos, Director of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) said. He pointed out that some of the large and very successful commercial family-managed farms in the Caribbean included the Mennonite farmers in Belize who were responsible for much of the corn, beans and dairy production; rice farmers in Guyana, cassava farmers in Suriname, and sheep and goat farmers in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. “…IICA therefore wishes to take this opportunity to re-affirm its commitment to Family Agriculture in the Caribbean, and to the application of technology in helping to promote a new kind of agriculture in the Caribbean that will make the sector more competitive and increase its contribution to food security,” Dr. Villalobos said.

ISHO and United Federation for Arts and Culture to host grand Pre-Diwali celebrations

By Raveena Mangal ON Sunday October 19 at the Indian Monument Gardens, the ISHO Guyana Chapter and the United Federation for Arts and Culture will present its inaugural pre-Diwali celebrations.

While Diwali is celebrated throughout Guyana with much pomp and ceremony, this event will be a prelude to the festivities with an evening of classical Diwali songs and elegant dancing displays.

With outstanding Guyanese talent such as the well known and admirable Sookrane Boodhoo and Mohan Nandu expected to perform, the show promises to be one not to miss.

Also expected to perform is one of Guyana’s foremost Indian musicians, Baskar Sharma. A resident of Canada, he won the first vocal music scholarship to India from the Indian Cultural Center in 1973; he subsequently taught music in Canada and has approximately seven CDs to his name.

Other artistes include top Guyanese singers, Ramkissoon Singh who is a top student of the Indian Cultural Centre and Ceceila Samaroo, the skilled founder and leader of Shakti Stings Orchestra.

‘Jaya’ from the Windsor Forest Arya Samaj Group and ‘Anuradha’ from the Sai Centre at Vreed-en-Hoop on West Coast will also be

Singer Baskar Sharma on the right of Vishnu Bandhu, President United Federation for Arts and Culture

giving renditions to usher in Diwali.

Sponsored by the SIGFA Health Organisation and the United Federation for Arts and Culture, President of the organisations, Vishnu Bandhu revealed that the show aims at providing traditional Indian songs and music to the patrons.

The funds raised, he said, will go towards acquiring and building an Indian Cultural Band that will be a part of a bigger endeavour of the sponsors to promote local talent.

Vishnu Bandhu was the President of United Arya Samaj Federation (UASF) and currently the honorary President of the UASF New York and President of West Demerara Arya Samaj. He spent his entire life in social work not only in religious

organisations but also in the Lions Club and other NGOs. The creative and enthusiastic Jewan Ka Nritya Dance Group directed by Roshini Boodhoo will be giving special presentations of dancing and plays befitting the celebration of Diwali.

The gates of the Monument Garden located at Camp and Church Streets, Georgetown, will open at 16:00 hrs. (4pm.). Tickets are priced at $500 for adults and $300 for children and can be uplifted at Bagwans and Satro’s on Water Street.

St. Rose’s High hosts BDI Lead

By Raveena Mangal IN the light of recent revelations of sexual misconduct among some students at St. Rose’s High School, a Better Defined One (BDI) Leadership Development Seminar was held in the school’s auditorium on Friday.

The seminar was conducted by former St. Rose’s students, twin brothers Astell and Allister Collins and targeted Fifth and Fourth Form students, their parents and teachers of the senior secondary school.

Astell Collins delivered the presentation, but was accompanied by his brother, Allister who was also representing the Guyana National Faith and HIV coalition.

The once practising medical technologist (Clinical Pathology Specialist) is now regarded by many as a leader, affecting change, giving hope, and transforming lives. A proud past student of

the school, Astell Collins was the first Guyanese to be invited as a delegate of the International Missions festival at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

He has hosted seminars at various universities and organisations in United States, the Caribbean and South Africa.

As an inspirational conference speaker, he takes people on journeys of self-discovery to self-mastery, helping them to identify and develop their unique talents, abilities & gifts (TAGs).

Those at the seminar paid rapt attention to his presentation; he stressed the important responsibility of parents to be actively involved with the nurturing and cultivation of their children, so that together with the teachers they could foster contributing citizens rather than delinquent inhabitants.

To the students, he instilled the message of harbouring positivity despite all the negativity they may face: “When life

gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

Noting that while the school has been given a negative spotlight by the behaviour of a few, students have the opportunity to utilise the spotlight to “give them something worth talking about,” by focusing on excelling at their exams.

“The greatest answer to your critics is to succeed,” he said.

He also mentioned the importance of choosing the right friends, as it would impact their destinies and paths in life.

Additionally, the importance of valuing time was underscored. “You determine your value, where time is valuable and should be spent wisely; freedom is not about being able to make decisions that are beneficial in the short term, it is about management and responsibility; and the first resource you are given is time; mismanaging time makes you lose opportunities (and therefore [causes you to] make obstructive choices)”, he said.

Astell Collins speaks to the

‘Eat What We Produce’ health walk highlights THE Ministry of Agriculture on Sunday staged an ‘Eat What We Produce’ health walk, which saw focus being shifted from the popular foods imported to the benefits of going local.

The walk, which began at 07:00hrs on Agriculture Road, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, ended in the compound of the

Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA). The initiative is now expected to be an annual feature in the Ministry’s calendar of activities for Agriculture Month, in an effort to continuously encourage Guyanese to consume more locally grown produce. It was a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Tourism,

Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture.

A highlight of the walk was the debut of a jingle created by the students of the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA). The lyrics of the short tune read, “Eat what we grow- Grow what we eat, Guyanese Foods are the best for your children.”

IMPORTANT TOURISM BOOST Representative of the Ministry of Tourism, Ms. Tamika Singh, who welcomed the initiative, spoke of its importance in further developing tourism in Guyana. “Agriculture is important to Tourism…we promote our local produce

gathering at St. Rose’s High

One of the key points Astell Collins emphasised at the seminar was the need for parents to stand by each other, eliminating the mentality of “Once it’s not my child, I don’t care.” He spoke of Ubuntu (Zulu word meaning the spirit of humanity) to show the inter-related nature of a nation, “I am because you are and what affects you will also affect me.”

“As a former student of the school, we felt a deep, abiding sense of responsibility, and thus were willing to avail our services to offer whatever support was needed, Astell said. The brothers have also pledged to continue working with the school to engage parents, teachers and students.

He made mention of the speedy facilitation of the session

and products, and that is what is sold to our locals and tourists and that is what enhances our tourism sector and that is what’s important,” she said.

Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy endorsed these comments, and in brief remarks, he underscored the fact that such an event demonstrates that Guyana can indeed make maximum benefits from what is grown and produced locally.

The minister added that such an event should not be seen only as agriculture oriented, but also as part of a fabric of development as it is now incorporated into tourism agenda in Guyana.

Dr. Ramsammy, lauding the move by the Ministry of Tourism and the many

restaurants and canteens who have endorsed the event thus far, encouraged others to come join the campaign, adding, “If we ourselves don’t use what we grow and produce, how do we expect others to do so.”

NEW VENTURE Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture will shortly launch its first ever recipe book- with wholesome Guyanese recipes.

This, according to the minister is not only necessary, but is one step to ensuring that Guyanese eat healthy meals prepared from locally grown fruits and vegetables.

hard-working teacher he has known for many years.

“BD1 Leadership has an existing partnership with the Ministry of Education and from a recent meeting with Ms. Donna Chapman, we’re planning to conduct a series of leadership seminars specifically focused on empowering teachers,” he said.

A member of the PTA also addressed the audience and expressed his disappointment at the incident which gave rise to the seminar. He urged his fellow parents “to get their act together” to ensure the success of their children.

At the conclusion of the seminar, one parent said that she thought it was definitely a good initiative, while another noted that the seminar will help to encourage the students to pick themselves up, dust off and move forward. The seminar was professionally done, focusing on encouraging the students rather than highlighting the incident itself, and future seminars should be done, said another parent.

A student present at the discussion disclosed that the seminar has empowered her to handle any negativity that may come out of the incident and she looks forward to more such sessions.

$41.8M in contracts awarded by Local Gov’t Ministry

Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional development, Collin Croal, with Local Government Minister, Norman Whittaker and Public Relations Officer of the Local Government Ministry, Olive Gopaul with contract awardees and their representatives

By Derwayne Wills THE Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development on Monday awarded $41.8M in contracts for both the National Clean Up Programme and the Regional Solid Waste Programme of the $1B Clean Up My Country Programme.

In keeping with the $500M allocated for the regional solid waste programme, a $6M contract was awarded to Associated Construction for the construction of an access road to the Landfill Site at Belview in Region 6 (East Berbice Corentyne).

Permanent Secretary at the Local Government Ministry, Collin Croal, related that constructing access roads to landfill sites in the regions is meant to “complement the Regional Solid Waste Programme”- an initiative which will see private contractors providing garbage collection services with “disposal of it in an efficient manner.”

Commenting on the progress of other sites in the regions, the PS stated that the Ministry will be re-assessing

the scope of works in Region 1 (Barima Waini) with the intention of retendering by Friday, since the current tenders are beyond the Ministry’s budget. This will also be done in Region 5 (Mahaica Berbice).

Also, Croal said that arrangements for Region 3 (Essequibo Islands West Demerara) are currently being finalised with hopes that the tendering process will begin shortly.

Of all the regions, Region 7 has enjoyed some prominence in the media in relation to its regional solid waste management; this was according to Croal who disclosed that the Ministry will lend some assistance to developing the access road to the Region 7 solid waste landfill at Byderabo.

He said however that at this stage, the Ministry is “currently awaiting submissions” from the Region 7 Contractor, Walter Nurse, after it was uncovered by this publication that the contractor had adopted a lackadaisical attitude to completing the works.

Under the nationwide clean-up projects, other contracts were awarded to

contractor Mike Lall for the cleaning of the drains in East La Penitence to the sum of $10.8M. Similar contracts were awarded to Mike Lall for the cleaning of internal drains at the Bourda Market and desilting the Orange Walk canal at Bourda. These contracts were awarded at the sum of $13.1M and $7.2M, respectively.

Contractor Geoffrey James was awarded three contracts totalling $4.5M for the rehabilitation of the sanitary block at La Penitence, for the construction of a footpath at the La Penitence Market and for building a market tarmac and fence also for the La Penitence Market.

The Local Government Minister, in brief remarks, expressed his satisfaction with the current progress made in the Georgetown clean-up projects. “We accept that Rome wasn’t built in a day.... but I am confident that before December 31, we will complete the works.”

Minister Whittaker concluded his remarks with a caution to the contractors to complete their works in an effective manner.

Rupununi farmer succumbs twelve days after trashing

By Leroy Smith THE police in Lethem are awaiting the results of a post-mortem later this week to determine the cause of death of 52-yearold farmer, Clifton Clement of Hiawa Village, Central Rupununi, Region 9 who died early yesterday morning at his sister’s

residence.

Information reaching the Guyana Chronicle stated that the man who was first admitted to the Lethem Hospital on October 2 following a trashing he received on the night of October 1, 2014 in the vicinity of the Takutu Bridge, Lethem, after being taken there by his sister. He was

Tuesday, October 14, 2014 - 09:00 hrs Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - 10:30 hrs Thursday, October 16, 2014 - 12:00 hrs

discharged from the hospital on October 9.

Speaking with this newspaper, sources out of Lethem who are close to investigations revealed that the man left his sister’s Hiawa home on October 1 and was heading for Brazil. He, however, stopped at a shop called ‘Yellow Shop’ close to the Takutu Bridge, and he was seen imbibing there.

However, rather than proceeding to Brazil, the man returned to his sister’s home late that evening and informed her that he was beaten by persons unknown to him. The man was taken to the hospital the following day, October 2, by his sister and was admitted and treated for lacerations to the head and right side mouth.

The matter was never reported to the police and the man was discharged on October 9. Sometime early yesterday morning he had a relapse while at his sister’s home and shortly after he passed away.

The police were in formed of the death and visited the home where he died. He was then taken to the Lethem Hospital where doctors there pronounced him dead. The body was then taken to the morgue and the woman gave the police a statement on the matter. It was during that statement that police ranks were told that the man was beaten and was admitted to the hospital earlier.

At present no one is in custody and the police investigations will be guided by the results of the post-mortem.

According to documents released by AIBA yesterday, the GABA boss is listed among members from seven others countries ranging from Canada to Argentina.

Playing in the first game on Saturday at the Christianburg Community Centre ground in a Group A encounter, Bosai taking first strike hit 209 off their 20 overs, thanks to some solid scoring from Theodore Tappin who topscored with 56.

Devon Belle 49 and his brother Deon Belle with 41 contributed to Bosai’s total with only Patrick Cornelius who took 3 for 35 managing to bowl well for Dora, who in reply were bowled out for 165 in 16.4 overs.

Lawrence Rampersaud topscored with 43 and Cornelius returned to score 25, even as Wayne Bethune took 3 for 46, Tappin grabbed 2 for 19 and Deon Belle took 2 for 23 to hand Bosai the win.

On Sunday at the same venue Uprising Young Stars defeated Real South Stars by eight wickets with South Stars batting first and making 132 off 14.5 overs as Sheldon Bovell top-scored with 39 and Leonard Caleb got 27.

Ninvalle is a worthy candidate.

The road to the AIBA congress began in June this year at a meeting of Caribbean presidents. Then, the Guyanese was nominated by 13 Caribbean countries to run alongside Dr Salano. The AIBA Congress is scheduled for November 11 to 14 on Jeju Island, South Korea.

Stag Beer/EBFA Div. 1 League

Soesdyke trounce Timehri 5-1; Agricola win by walkover from Mocha SOESDYKE FALCONS trounced their neighbours Timehri Panthers 5-1 while Agricola won via walkover after Mocha Champs failed to turn up on the penultimate day of play in the East Bank Football Association/Stag Beer-sponsored divisionone league tournament last Sunday at the Grove playfield.

With the points collected, Agricola ended in second place on 32 points to Grove Hi Tech already sealing the crown with one game still in the bag. Mocha ended their campaign at the bottom of the points table with a single point with just one draw from their 14 matches.

In the day’s lone encounter, Soesdyke Falcons ended on a high with a 5-1 hammering of their neighbours Timehri Panthers thanks to a double from Trevor Marshall who rocked the

back of the nets in the 8th and 44th minutes.

Orin Tasher was on target in the 10th minute, Ulatto Smith doubled the score in the 38th while Colin McLean sealed the deal in the 81st minute, with Timehri Panthers being gifted a consolation goal in the 33rd minute via an own goal from Soesdyke.

Meanwhile, based on the Referees report that was submitted following the abandoned game between Agricola and Kuru Kururu Warriors on September 21, the EBFA Executive decided that the game would be awarded to Agricola.

Federer beats Simon to claim Shanghai Masters crown ROGER FEDERER claimed one of the few titles to have previously eluded him after he overcame a sluggish start to beat injured Frenchman Gilles Simon in the final of the Shanghai Masters last Sunday.

The Swiss 17-time grand slam singles champion triumphed 7-6(6), 7-6(2) to register his 23rd Masters Series title and first in China, where strong winds saw the roof on the Stadium Court closed for the hard court final.

The 33-year-old let off a huge roar and threw both fists into the air after a battling Simon could only net a return to hand the Swiss a fourth title of the year and 81st of an unparalleled career.

It had all begun so well for the unseeded

Frenchman, who broke a sloppy, error-strewn Federer in the opening game and comfortably held firm until he felt the pressure of serving for the set at 5-4 and began to creak.

With his first serve and accurate groundstrokes deserting him, Federer had two break points but wasted the first with an alarmingly high 14th unforced error only for Simon to hand him the game on the next point after netting a backhand.

A wobbling Simon fought off two set points on his next service game after finding his range with his first serve again to force a tiebreak with a booming ace as he refused to buckle in search of his first Masters Series title.

The world number 29 then had a set point of his own in the tiebreak but

Federer came up with an unreturnable first serve to snuff out the danger before producing a near-perfect

backhand winner down the line to take the breaker 8-6.

Simon, who had knocked out Australian Open winner

Roger Federer

Stan Wawrinka and sixth seed Tomas Berdych en route to the final, took a medical time out for treatment on a suspected groin problem at the end of the set and looked uncomfortable upon his return.

However, the Frenchman fought on admirably, digging himself out of some early holes to hold his six service games before threatening an unlikely break in the 11th game of the set.

Having struggled to make an impact on the Federer serve throughout the set he fashioned two set points out of nowhere, only to waste both with groundstroke errors as Federer held on.

The Swiss then stepped it up in the breaker, firing some big serves and stunning winners to fashion four championship points with

Simon folding on the first.

“Well, it just makes me very happy winning here because this tournament means a lot to me,” Federer told reporters.

“I’ve always enjoyed coming here. I’ve come close a couple of times, but I’ve always wanted to win it as a Masters 1000. I feel unbelievable prestige to win this event. Especially putting my hands on the trophy for the first time is a good feeling, I must say. I’m very happy with the way I’m playing.”

Federer, who will move above Rafael Nadal into second spot in the world rankings when they are updated yesterday, has now won seven of the nine different Masters Series events with only the clay court Monte Carlo and Rome tournaments eluding him.

Pistorius ‘should avoid jail sentence’, court hears SOUTH AFRICAN track star Oscar Pistorius should serve three years of partial house arrest and community service for the negligent killing of his girlfriend, a witness said yesterday at the first day of the athlete’s sentencing.

The 27-year-old Paralympic and Olympic star, whose lower legs were amputated as a baby, was convicted of culpable homicide last month for the shooting of 29-year-old law graduate and model Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day 2013.

The case has riveted South Africans and gripped millions around the world, shocked by the fall of a man widely admired as an inspiration for disabled people and a symbol of triumph over adversity.

Arguing against a prison term, correctional services social worker Joel Maringa said Pistorius was a “co-operative” person who should be sentenced to three years of “correctional

supervision”, which would mean that the athlete would have to spend a portion of the day at home.

Maringa also said Pistorius should carry out community service, such as sweeping the streets outside museums in Pretoria.

State prosecutor Gerrie Nel, who is pushing for a lengthy prison sentence, described the social worker’s recommendations as “shockingly inappropriate”.

Judge Thokozile Masipa will hear arguments from prosecution and defence, possibly for as long as a day each, and from psychological and probation experts before deciding on sentencing.

Earlier the court heard from Pistorius’ psychologist Dr Lore Hartzenberg, who said the athlete was a caring, remorseful person who was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder and sometimes spent sessions weeping as she held him.

“We are left with a broken man who has lost everything,” Hartzenberg

Oscar Pistorius said, as Pistorius stared at the floor in the packed Pretoria courtroom.

Nel is due to call at least

two of his own witnesses as the state pushes for a jail sentence that could be up to 15 years. Legal experts

T&T sail through but SVG, Barbados suffer heartbreak B R I D G E TO W N , Barbados (CMC) – Trinidad and Tobago predictably finished unbeaten to cruise into the Finals of the CFU Caribbean Cup but there was heartbreak for St Vincent and the Grenadines who gave up three goals in the space of 13 minutes against Martinique, to crash to defeat in the second round of qualifiers which wrapped up on Sunday.

Playing at home in Port of Spain, the Trinidadians got past Antigua and Barbuda 1-0 thanks to a firsthalf strike by Kevin Molino, as they topped Group 7 with nine points.

However, it was in Group 9 in Guadeloupe where the drama unfolded

as SVG seemed en route to the Finals in Jamaica next month before plunging to a 4-3 defeat.

Playing at the Stade René Serge Nabajoth, Cornelius Stewart scored the first of his brace in the 25th minute to put St Vincent ahead, a lead that held until halftime.

After the break, however, Guadeloupe hit back through seasoned striker José-Thierry Goron who equalised in the 56th minute.

SVG were back in front five minutes later through Stewart and when Oalex Anderson scored the third in the 72nd minute, a berth in the Finals seemed assured.

However, Sebastien Cretinoir pulled one back in the 74th minute for Martinique and with time running out Julien Faubert

scored twice in five minutes as the French side pulled ahead 4-3 in the 86th minute, before holding on for victory.

Martinique finished atop the group with seven points and qualified for the Finals along with Curacao who edged hosts Guadeloupe 1-0 to finish second on four points.

In Group 7, meanwhile, Antigua also qualified for the Finals round, despite going down to T&T. They finished on four points alongside the Dominican Republic who beat St Lucia 3-2 in the other game but possessed a superior goal difference.

In Group 8, Barbados had their hopes of a Finals berth shattered when they crashed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of French Guiana.

Entering the final series

of games needing a win to be sure of advancing, Barbados were undone by goals on either side of halftime from Gilles Fabien and Gabriel Pigree.

Fabien struck on the stroke of halftime to put the French side up 1-0 at the break before Pigree added a second ten minutes afterwards.

Hosts Haiti topped the group with five points after playing to a nil-all draw with St Kitts and Nevis in the other game.

French Guiana finished second to earn their spot in the Finals and the six teams will now be joined by hosts Jamaica and defending champions Cuba in the eight-team Finals set for Montego Bay from November 10 to 17.

doubt, however, that judge Masipa would decide on a prison term that long.

Masipa cleared Pistorius of the more serious charge of murder, saying prosecutors had failed to prove his intent to kill when he fired four 9mm rounds through the door of a toilet in what he said was the mistaken belief an intruder was hiding behind it.

A murder conviction would have almost certainly carried a jail sentence.

Culpable homicide, South Africa’s equivalent of manslaughter, can be punished by anything from 15 years in jail to a suspended sentence or community service.

A stony-faced Pistorius earlier stared straight ahead as police officers escorted him into the court building.

He declined to answer questions from the scrum of reporters but greeted his family inside the court with smiles and hugs.

After a dramatic sixmonth, on-off trial, opinion is starkly divided on the eventual outcome.

A non-custodial sentence would be likely to spark public anger, fuelling a perception among black South Africans that, 20 years after the end of apartheid, wealthy whites can still

secure preferential justice.

“At the end of the day a young lady was killed and someone should pay for it,” 57-year-old Mildred Lekalakala, a member of the Women’s League of the ruling African National Congress, said outside the court.

The decision by 66-yearold Masipa, only the second black woman to rise to South Africa’s bench, to absolve Pistorius of murder drew criticism from many legal experts and the public in a country infamous for violence, particularly against women.

Pistorius said the shooting in his upmarket Pretoria home was a tragic mistake, but at the trial prosecutors presented a written firearms licence test in which he acknowledged that using lethal force against an intruder was only allowed if there was a direct threat to a person’s life.

With this in mind, as well as the questions over Masipa’s ruling on intent, the state could yet decide to appeal the culpable homicide verdict in pursuit of a murder conviction.

Under South African law, an appeal cannot be launched until sentencing has been concluded.

Australia reclaim top ODI ranking with Pakistan sweep (REUTERS) - Australia have returned to the top of the oneday international rankings following their 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday.

Australia slipped from the top spot after a shock three-wicket defeat to Zimbabwe in a tri-series, also involving South Africa, at the end of August.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s India claimed the number one ranking after Australia also lost to South Africa in the final of that tournament.

India had a chance to hold on to their position by winning the remaining

three ODIs of the fivematch series, currently tied 1-1, at home against the West Indies.

But with the cancellation of the third match in Visakhapatnam due to a cyclone, India will no longer be able to win the required four matches in the series to retain top spot.

South Africa are currently second with India third in the latest ICC rankings released yesterday.

Pakistan needed two runs in the last over to avoid the sweep on Sunday but part-time offspinner Glenn Maxwell took two wickets without conceding a run as Australia won by one run to complete the series win.

Injury puts Simmons out of India tour NEW DELHI, India (CMC) – Injured opener Lendl Simmons has been ruled out of the one-day tour of India with a back injury.

The right-hander has yet to play a game on tour and will now return home to Trinidad and Tobago to continue his rehabilitation, the West Indies Cricket Board announced in a release.

Simmons represented Mumbai Indians in the qualifying round of the recently held Champions League Twenty20 prior to joining the Windies squad.

West Indies selectors are yet to name a replacement for the one-day tour which is level at 1-1 after West Indies won the first game in Kochi by 124 runs last Wednesday

Clarke set for Test return

Michael Clarke AUSTRALIA captain Michael Clarke is set for a return to action this week after recovering from a hamstring injury that had threatened to rule him out of the Test series against Pakistan.

The complaint forced him to miss the one-day portion of the tour although he was not missed as George Bailey led the team to a 3-0 whitewash in the United Arab Emirates.

But Clarke has now fully shaken

off the problem, sustained in the triangular series against Zimbabwe and South Africa in August, and will feature in this week’s four-day tour match against a Pakistan A side ahead of the two-match Test series.

“Clarke will be fine, he’ll play the tour game,” coach Darren Lehmann said on Cricket Australia’s official website.

There is a slight concern over David Warner although the opening batsman believes he will be fine to feature in the Tests, the first of which gets under way on October 22 in Dubai with the second starting the following week in Abu Dhabi.

When asked whether the problem placed him in doubt for the opening Test, Warner told Big Sports Breakfast: “No, not as yet - I’m all well and good to go.

“I’ve just done something to my groin, but I’ll be okay.

I’ll go and see ‘Lex’ (physio Alex Kountouris) and hopefully it’s only a week thing. I’ve had it before; I had it about three or four years ago and it’s just like a tight strain so I’m in good hands here.”

Pakistan’s Riaz ruled out of Australia Tests

(REUTERS) - Pakistan left-arm seamer Wahab Riaz has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Australia, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on yesterday.

The squad announcement has been delayed because of injury and form problems, with experienced all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez nursing a hand injury while left-armer Junaid Khan damaged his knee during the one-day series which Australia won 3-0.

Long-serving captain Misbah-ul-Haq opted to miss the final one-dayer against Australia in Abu Dhabi because of his poor form.

Pakistan A will play a four-day tour match against Australia before the first Test begins on October 22.

Pakistan have five back-to-back Tests against Australia and New Zealand in the United Arab Emirates.

“The delay in announcing the Test squad has been forced on us owing to injuries to a bunch of frontline players and with a view to field the best possible team, the selectors would like to wait for an update on their fitness,” Pakistan’s chief selector Moin Khan said in a statement.

Shillingford, Miller rescue Windies but defeat still looms H A M B A N T O TA , Sri Lanka (CMC) – A defiant unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 92 between Shane Shillingford and Nikita Miller saved West Indies A from a possible inningsdefeat on the third day of their opening four-day ‘Test’ against Sri Lanka here yesterday.

Asked to follow on after being dismissed for 160 in their first innings, West Indies A plunged to 175 for seven in their second innings before Shillingford struck an unbeaten 56 and Miller, 37 not out, to rescue the Caribbean side.

Test batsman Kirk Edwards had earlier led the way with a top-score of 76 while Jermaine Blackwood got 39 as Windies A finished the day on 267 for seven, only 14 runs ahead with today’s final day remaining.

Resuming the penultimate day on 96 for seven in reply to Sri Lanka’s first innings of 413, West Indies A managed to extend their first innings thanks to a half-century from Chadwick Walton.

Unbeaten on 10 overnight, the Jamaican wicketkeeper hit 50 from 90 balls with five fours and two sixes, adding a crucial 36 for the last wicket with Shannon Gabriel (five not out) after the tourists slipped to 124 for nine.

Leg-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna added the wicket of Walton to his overnight five-wicket haul to finish with six for 64 while seamer Shaminda Eranga picked up two for 54.

West Indies A were in early strife in their second innings, losing Test batsman Kraigg

Brathwaite for two in the third over of the innings with the score also on two.

Edwards then anchored two key stands to see West Indies A out of trouble, adding 38 for the second wicket with Assad Fudadin (11) and then a further 77 for the third wicket with Blackwood.

The right-handed Edwards hit eight fours and two sixes in an innings lasting 117 balls while Blackwood, also a current Test player, stroked five fours in his 50-ball knock, before Blackwood’s dismissal triggered a dramatic slide which saw five wickets tumble for just 58 runs.

Fast bowler Lahiru Gamage snapped up three for 49 while Prasanna caused trouble again with three for 114.

Tottering at 175 for seven and requiring a further 78 to make Sri Lanka A bat again, Windies A found heroes in Shillingford and Miller.

Shillingford, who boasts a Test halfcentury to his name, hammered three fours and five sixes off 86 deliveries while Miller was more measured, facing 76 balls and counting three fours and a six.

Scores: Sri Lanka 413 (Dimuth Karunaratne 139, Lahiru Thirimanne 93, Dinesh Chandimal 87; Shane Shillingford 5-160) West Indies A 160 (Chadwick Walton 50; Seekkage Prasanna 6-64) and 267 for seven (Kirk Edwards 76, Shane Shillingford 56 not out, Jermaine Blackwood 39, Nikita Miller 37 not out; Lahiru Gamage 3-49, Seekkage Prasanna 3-114)

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday OCTOBER 14, 2014

Sarwan responds to Cricket Guyana Inc. IT IS INCUMBENT on me to address several issues surrounding my cricket career in general and matters regarding my omission from the Guyana franchise team this year in particular.

Firstly, as I was recently made to understand, a seminar for the franchise discussion was held the Tuesday before the bidding at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion. However, no one including Cricket Guyana Inc. (CGI) officials displayed the simplest of courtesy or sought to extend an invitation or to inform me of this seminar.

Secondly, there has been much talk about me having injuries, which are not unusual to any sport and are very common among sportsmen and sportswomen. Personally, I have invested much time and resources both in and out of Guyana to improve my fitness level.

However, at no time was I ever contacted nor any interest shown by cricket officials after sustaining injuries during my participation for Guyana regionally, notwithstanding, I have enlisted the services of several medical specialists in the USA to aid in my preparation for the upcoming season.

I am currently in Guyana working with another

specialist to ensure that I am ready for the 2014-2015 first class season.

The CGI, through its Chairman of Selectors, has on numerous occasions been made fully aware of my progress and desire to continue playing cricket and following this, at no time did I indicate that I would not be available to participate in any cricket tournament.

On numerous occasions, I informed the Chairman of Selectors that my medical team recommended that I complete the entire course of rehabilitation process before returning to cricket, with my expected return to full match fitness coinciding with the start of the 20142015 season.

At this juncture, it is necessary for me to clear the air and set the record straight about my contracts with Leicestershire, Punjab, and Amazon Warriors.

My contract at Leicestershire was selfterminated. This decision was mine to make and was made with the view to seeking professional aid to improve and prepare for the upcoming regional tournament.

With reference to Punjab, this contract was fully extended to me for a three-year period.

However, the Punjab team management utilised varying combinations of

GTTA National competition in December

THE Guyana Table Tennis Association is aiming to stage the National competition early in December after a lapse of one year. The National Table Tennis competition was not held last year because of difficulty in securing sponsorship but if all goes well players will be vying for national titles by the second week in December.

GTTA secretary Linden Johnson said that it would be important to hold the competition

before Mini Cadets and Pre Cadets leave to represent Guyana at the Caribbean Championship billed for Puerto Rico from December 16 to 20.

“We are looking to have the National competition played by the second week in December,” Johnson said. Just recently, lack of funds forced GTTA to shelve plans to send a team to the Mini and Pre Cadet Latin America Championship currently taking place in the Dominican Republic.

Ramnaresh Sarwan cricketers during the period.

But my contract was never terminated.

With regard to my contract with the Guyana Amazon Warriors, the team management had the right to retain six players, and that they did. Unfortunately, I was not selected, and that was understandable and well respected.

This was, however, not on the basis of any injuries.

In fact, I played the entire season of the 2013 Caribbean Premier League season without any complications.

Mention was made that I was not retained by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). However, many of the players selected in the draft were also not retained

by WICB. Earlier this year after playing against the Windwards in Trinidad and Tobago for the regional 50over tournament, I began experiencing pains in the lower back the following day. I missed one game then returned for the semi-final.

During our practice sessions prior to the commencement of the four-day tournament, the discomfort returned. I visited Dr Ashkai Mansingh, WICB Chief Medical Officer of and he advised that I refrain from playing in the four-day game He recommended that I proceed to intensive therapy, particularly medication and physiotherapy for 10 to 14 days. At no point did I

declare myself unfit to play.

I am in possession of the doctor’s medical report and advisories. This advice was given in Jamaica.

Based on Dr Mansingh’s advice, and after discussions with the team management, I was excused to seek treatment in the United States.

I subsequently interrupted my therapy to honour my commitments with Leicestershire.

I eventually made the decision to withdraw from the Leicestershire team to continue therapy in order to be ready for the regional tournament.

Challenges during my professional career have never discouraged me from pressing forward to play the

Allen fights tomorrow

Lennox `Too Sharp’ Allen UNDEFEATED super middleweight Lennox `Too Sharp’ Allen will be coming off a one-year hiatus from the ring when he matches gloves with Julio Garcia tomorrow evening in the United States of America (USA).

The New York-based Guyanese is scheduled to fight Garcia at the BB King Blues

Club in the `Big Apple’, boxing website BoxRec has reported. .

The 29-year-old Allen, who turned pro in 2004, racking up a record that reads 18-0 with 10 of his victories coming by way of knockout, has not been in the ring since August last year when he won a six-rounder against Michael Gbenga.

He fights as a Southpaw and secured the vacant World Boxing Council/Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) title in 2011 following a unanimous 12-round decision over Kwesi ‘Lightning Struck Assassin’ Jones at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

However, despite having an unblemished record, Allen’s career has slowed in recent time with him having one fight in 2012 and a similar number in 2013, even as Garcia, who is a Puerto Rican, has been defeated thrice in nine fights.

game that I love most. I have invested much to improve my physical wellbeing. I am happy to advise that I have successfully concluded all medical evaluations and treatments, and have resumed my therapy and preparation for the 2014/2015 season.

I take this opportunity to thank all my fans and fellow Guyanese for their continued support over the last 19 years. I have always represented my country with pride, dignity and joy.

The Trinidad Red Force have placed their faith in me and with this selection, I look forward to your continued support as I embark on this new journey.

I will continue to love, respect and embrace the game of cricket in Guyana and the region. My main focus currently is to give my best to the Trinidad Red Force, to represent West Indies cricket team again, and aid in the development of regional cricket.

I take this opportunity to extend the best of wishes to the Guyana Jaguars in their endeavours and going forward, I will desist from commenting further on these issues, as I place my full attention to matters on the cricket field.

GCA partners with NBS to host third annual second division tournament

By Calvin Roberts

YESTERDAY morning and for the third successive year, the Roger Harpersteward Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA), joined forces with the New Building Society (NBS) for the successful hosting of another 40 overs second division competition for teams within the capital city.

Present at the simple handing-over ceremony where Harper received a cheque for an undisclosed sum towards the sponsorship were NBS Chairman Floyd McDonald, Chief Executive Officer Amad Khan, and with other executives from both NBS and the GCA. Prior to the presentation of the cheque, McDonald in his remarks said his entity was pleased to be associated with the GCA, adding that it was fitting for the NBS to include Georgetown in its programme, having fostered a relationship with Berbice and Essequibo.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are very happy to be a part of this very important event today. The NBS is an organisation that is involved in the promotion of housing development in Guyana, especially

… Action bowls off this weekend

Also in picture is Chairman of NBS Floyd McDonald (3rddfrom left). affordable housing, but as a corporate entity we are of the view that we should make other contributions to society.

We are also of the view that sport plays an integral part of a person’s development, especially young people and with cricket being so popular, I think that we have made the right decision to respond positively to the request of the GCA to sponsor this competition once again,”

said McDonald.

According to McDonald, NBS is of the view that they must contribute towards the development of cricket in Guyana, not only to enhance the image of the country and the West Indies, but also assist with the molding of young persons who are in need of guidance. “….We have to be careful in Guyana that we do not allow ourselves to go down the drain in terms of cricket talent and we must

work together to ensure we rekindle the days of the type of enthusiasm we are accustomed to in the days of Clive Lloyd, Rohan Kanhai, Lance Gibbs and so many others.

“We welcome the opportunity and we at NBS are looking forward to the day when we see cricket as an event that brings all Guyanese together and call on all the elements in the cricket fraternity, to work together to ensure Guyana

performs better in the field of cricket in the future and NBS is willing to support the development of cricket in Guyana,” said McDonald.

In his acceptance speech, Harper thanked NBS for continuing the partnership which began in 2012, saying that they saw and recognised the opportunity to further develop the talents of Guyanese youths through cricket.

“Cricket offers lots of

important lifestyles and we hope to pass on the importance of discipline and working together, while at the same time improving healthy lifestyles amongst our youths, through the playing of this and all of our competitions at the various levels,” said Harper.

He said NBS sees the need to recognise the grassroots of cricket in Guyana, since players from outside of Georgetown compete with teams affiliated to the GCA - a strong testament on the good administration of cricket that is being done by the GCA. Meanwhile, the GCA Competitions Committee Chairman Shaun Massiah informed that 16 teams including two-time defending champions Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and last year’s runners-up Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) would be doing battle for supremacy in this year’s tournament.

According to Massiah, the action is set to bowl off this weekend depending on the availability of grounds, with the teams being divided into two groups of eight each, from which the two top teams of each group will contest the semifinals and into the final.

Registration for the event, which is being coordinated by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed, closes today and teams from Heat Wave of Trinidad and Tobago, Team Coco of Miami USA and a team from neighbouring Suriname have already confirmed their participation.

According to Mohamed, this year’s event for which Team Coco’s Raynauth Jeffrey is

Rondell Daby’s Toyota Supra too

‘fast and furious’ at GMR&SC Drag Race

Rondell Daby’s Toyota Supra (left) speeds down the track in one of the races against his brother Peter and his RX7.

By Rawle Toney IF YOU love cars and movies then the ‘Fast and Furious’ would definitely be one of your favourites. In fact, one would also remember the Toyota Supra - driven by the now deceased Paul Walker, - that destroyed a Ferrari in a drag race in one of the scenes from the first of the sevenpart movie.

Last Sunday, the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) hosted their International Drag Race title ‘Burn Out 2’ at the South Dakota Circuit and the scores of people who turned up had a chance to witness the Toyota Supra in action.

While it was not the one that featured

in the Box Office hit film in 2001, it’s safe to say that it’s the closest Guyanese came at witnessing the immense power the grand tourer that’s known for its ability, if supped up properly, to do the quarter mile in less than 10 seconds.

Of the 50 cars that competed on Sunday, all eyes were on Rondell Daby’s Supra which went on to set a record at the event - a blistering 8.5 seconds.

Competing in the open class, not even Rondell’s brother Peter, in his powerpacked Mazda RX7 could’ve stood up to the Supra as Rondell went on to be crowned champion.

Meanwhile, Suriname’s Bai Soekah who piloted a Toyota Chaser also impressed

and went on to win the A-Class category.

The Nazim Gafoor-driven Toyota Glanza was a no-match in the D-Class while Narindradutt Bangar Toyota Sprinter could not be stopped in the C-Class.

Chet Singh, who’s known for being one of the top drivers on the circuit, ripped through the B-Class with his Mitsubishi Evo. But while most of the focus was on the Supra and the other much faster cars, Pankaj Ramdeo, driving a Toyota Primo, made some noise of his own.

At first, the crowd laughed when the white Primo took to the start line because the sedan is a street car and not by one’s wildest imagination can be seen as a drag racing car.

It was no laughing matter when Ramdeo won his first race of the qualification round and, given the fact the E-Class had the most cars, those laughs turned into cheers.

With the Porta Tree Timing System which is equipped with specialised starting lights that allow quarter-mile speeds to be recorded in use, fans, especially those not being able to actually see the finish line, were able to keep up to date with the winners and losers on the day.

With the curtain now down on one of the best Drag Race of the year, the GM&SC will now focus its attention on their November 16 Caribbean Motor Racing Championship’s (CMRC) third and final leg to be held in Guyana.
