PNCR questions impartiality of Rodney’s CoI Chairman THE People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) said the disclosure via the Electronic Media in Guyana, resulting from an article published in the Barbadian Advocate News – dated June 30, 1980, captioned, ‘Chetenham pays his tribute,’ is cause for grave alarm concerning the impartiality of the Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry into the death of Dr. Walter Rodney. In a statement issued late yesterday, the PNCR said it is clear from the report in the Advocate News, that Sir Richard Cheltenham not
only knew Dr. Walter Rodney, but was an admirer and was inspired by him. According to the PNCR, Sir Richard Cheltenham paid tribute to Dr. Walter Rodney at a memorial service held at the Ursuline Convent in Barbados in June 1980. Sir Richard in his eulogy said: “But to be stunned by his death is not enough. Those of us who knew him and were inspired by him must continue to work for social change…We can only hope…that his comrades friends and admirers will continue to keep aloft the banners which he raised and which men were proud to follow.” The PNCR feels that prior disclosure of such an acquaintance, though not impugning the Chairman’s impartiality, could have forestalled public misperceptions which unavoidably and unfortunately, albeit unjustifiably, are now not unlikely to arise.

President Ramotar tells Third CARICOM-Mexico Summit of…
Growing recognition of importance of agriculture to the Region PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar, at the Third CARICOM-Mexico Summit on Tuesday, said there was a growing recognition of the importance of agriculture, which was vital for food security and essential in maintaining the political stability of the Community, as well as the Region as a whole. At the summit in Merida, Yucatan, speaking on the theme of his CARICOM portfolio responsibility, President Ramotar welcomed the announcement made earlier by Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto regarding his government’s financial contribution to the Inter-American Institute for Agriculture for assistance to CARICOM States to support the improvement of the agricultural sector, an important aspect of Caribbean life. President Ramotar reminded the meeting that it was the rise in food prices in Tunisia that had started the crisis which was unfortunately still raging in the Middle East. Highlighting the challenges which CARICOM faced in the agriculture sector, President Ramotar pointed out that despite the many initiatives taken, the CARICOM Region was still a net importer of food, with the food bill amounting to more than US$4B per year. He said that it was clear that the Region needed a joint agricultural policy through which Member States could complement each other and raise their production to reduce the vulnerability in the sector, in the process examining the many problems that have emerged and those that were
it was necessary to invest in human resources to produce the modern farmer. The President said that countries of the Community must also aim to transform their agricultural products from just being raw materials to agro- industries. This is important to create jobs both in agriculture and in industry, where additional skills would be required and where value would be added. President Ramotar posited that it was time that the Community began to consider some form of division of labour in agriculture, which would help to broaden the amount of agricultural products that the Region
President Donald Ramotar is greeted by Mexico‘s President, Enrique Pena Nieto emerging. Referring to the impact of climate change on agriculture, President Ramotar cited GuySuCo as a practical example, explaining that since 2004, it was expected that there would be 120 days for land preparation for planting of sugar cane. Due to changing weather patterns, the average amount of days per year had been reduced to 80. There was also need to have easy access to each other’s markets. However, to accomplish this, it was necessary to improve the transportation links - maritime and air transport. Another task was for the Community to jointly work to fight the huge food subsidy by developed countries which results in dumping, thus keeping the countries in a state of dependency. Another challenge was that of making agriculture
attractive for young people to become involved. The solution was to introduce more technology into the agriculture sector; and for this
could make available to its peoples. Linked to the development of the agriculture sector and agro-industry, was the need for reliable and affordable energy, particularly for processing of agricultural products. In this regard, President Ramotar noted that the Community could benefit from Mexico’s experience and expertise. In acknowledging the strengthened relations between Guyana and Mexico, President Ramotar recognised the active role played by the Mexican Ambassador resident in Georgetown. He also drew attention to the investment made by
Mexican company Qualfon as the largest single private and foreign employer in Guyana, which was planning to expand its operations, encouraged by its favourable business experience. President Ramotar expressed his appreciation to President Peña Nieto for the warm welcome and hospitality that he was accorded. He was accompanied by Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Irfaan Ali, Minister of Housing and Water and Acting Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce; and Ambassador Elisabeth Harper, Director General, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Air strike on Aleppo school kills 18: Syrian activists
(Reuters) - AN air strike on a school in Syria’s northern city of Aleppo by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces killed at least 18 people on Wednesday, mainly children, a day after attacks on government-controlled cities killed more than 100 people, activists said. The devastating strikes, which stand out for their ferocity even in a civil war, now kills between 200 and 300 people a day, as Syria prepares for an election likely to extend Assad’s grip on power. On Tuesday, a day after Assad nominated himself to run for a third term in a vote already derided as a sham by his opponents, two car bombs struck in a government-controlled part of Homs.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said on Wednesday the death toll from those bombs had risen
Ukraine separatists seize second provincial capital, fire on police (Reuters) - HUNDREDS of pro-Moscow separatists stormed government buildings in one of Ukraine’s provincial capitals on Tuesday and fired on police holed up in a regional headquarters, a major escalation of their revolt despite new Western sanctions on Russia. New U.S. and EU sanctions packages, announced with fanfare, were seen as so mild that Russian share prices rose in relief. A small number of names were added to existing blacklists, while threats to take more serious measures were put on hold. Nevertheless, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by threatening to reconsider Western participation in energy deals in Russia, the world’s biggest oil producer, where most major U.S. and European oil companies have extensive projects. Demonstrators smashed their way into the provincial

As night fell, about 20 rebel gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons and threw stun grenades at the headquarters of the region’s
police, trying to force those inside to surrender their weapons, a Reuters photographer at the scene said. “The regional leadership does not control its police force,” said Stanislav Rechynsky, an aide to Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, referring to events in Luhansk. “The local police did nothing.”

‘Superbugs’ that can overpower antibiotics are spreading: WHO (Reuters) - THE spread of deadly superbugs that evade even the most powerful antibiotics is no longer a prediction but is happening right now across the world, United Nations officials said on Wednesday. Antibiotic resistance has the potential to affect anyone, of any age, in any country, the U.N.’s World Health Organisation (WHO) said in a report. It is now a major threat to public health and “the implications will be devastating”. “We have a big problem now, and all of the

For gonorrhoea, a dangerous sexually-transmitted disease that infects more than a million people across the world every day, antibiotic treatments are failing fast as superbug forms of the bacteria that causes it outpace them. At least 10 countries - including Austria, Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Japan, Norway, South Africa, Slovenia and Sweden, now report having patients with gonorrhoea that is totally untreatable.

Reuben Gilbert tells Rodney COI…

‘I was physically brutalised because of my politics’ - Burnham denied him a job in Guyana because he wrote for the ‘Mirror’ newspaper and not ‘New Nation’ By Telesha Ramnarine THE Commission of Inquiry into the death of renown Guyanese scholar, Dr. Walter Rodney continues to hear of the horrific and frightening political climate which pervaded Guyana during the PNC’s rule, where citizens were not only denied the basic human and constitutional rights but were inflicted with severe violence when they sought to enjoy and exercise those rights. The Commission yesterday heard from Reverend Reuben Gilbert, who said his friendship with Dr. Rodney, the co-founder of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), proved costly especially in the 1970s. Reuben told the COI that had he not left his home one night; he would have been executed by the youth arm of the People’s National Congress (PNC), known as the Young Socialist Movement (YSM). Gilbert, 78, is the fourth witness to be called in the COI which was ordered by President Donald Ramotar last February 6 to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the former historian/politician. He was led during his testimony by Lawyer Latchmie Rahamat, before the Commissioners - Sir Richard Cheltenham, Jacqueline Samuels-Brown and Seenath Jairam - in the Supreme Court Law Library in Georgetown. Gilbert maintained that he had never been a member of the WPA but supported Rodney because they had become friends. As such, the most he did was attend political meetings that were held by the WPA. Speaking about the time he was ‘about to be killed’ by the YSM, Gilbert recalled that sometime in 1980, he was driving home when he saw a neighbour, James Daniels, flagging him down. The neighbour told him that the ‘YSM hit men’ of the PNC were going to come to his home that night to kill him. The neighbour further informed him that the plan of the YSM was to kill him and then tell authorities that he had a gun stored in his guitar case. According to Gilbert, he called his brother Neville Gilbert, who was a member of the PNC, and asked him to sleep over at his (Reuben’s) house that night. Without informing his brother of anything he knew, Gilbert said he drove his car to the University of Guyana (UG) Campus and slept there for the night.
The next morning when he arrived home, his brother was baffled and wanted to know why members of the YSM went to the house looking for him. This was when Neville Gilbert knew that his brother was about to be killed. This took place about two or three months before Rodney was killed, Gilbert said, and he subsequently left Guyana in order to save his life. On another occasion, about three days following Rodney’s death, he recalled that three men went up to him at Robb and Wellington Streets and one grabbed him and threw him into a van. Gilbert said the three were part of the notorious ‘Death Squad,’ a unit of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) that was known to be working in conjunction with the PNC to intimidate anyone who was in Opposition to the ruling party. Gilbert said he was taken from Robb and Wellington Streets to Parliament Building, then to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and then to the East La Penitence Police Station. During his time in the van, he remembers one of the men telling him: “Y’all boss dead now. We gon soon get rid of all of you.” During this ordeal, Gilbert recalled that he was severely beaten and hit to his head several times and was being forced to give a statement. He also had to go without food and water for a considerable time and had to endure blindfolding. Gilbert said he had a feeling that they wanted to charge him for possession of arms so he
stood his ground and refused to give the statement. It was a cleaner lady at the East La Penitence Police Station who helped him out by making a call to Freedom House, the PPP’s headquarters. Gilbert said he is unsure if President Donald Ramotar, who was working at Freedom House at the time, was the one who took the call and sent a lawyer to the station. Gilbert said he was eventually released but was threatened that he would be killed if they had reason to pick him up again. BURNHAM DENIED HIM A JOB Gilbert also testified about the time when he returned to Guyana. In 1969 after spending years in the United States and the Caribbean, he was denied employment even though he had studied and received his post-graduate qualifications. When he enquired as to ‘why’ he was denied employment, no less a person than Prime Minister Forbes Burnham told him that it was because of his politics. Reuben told the COI he first gained employment at the Ministry of Economic Development but before the end of the first month, he received a letter of dismissal that came from the Office of the President, and ultimately from Prime Minister Forbes Burnham. No one would tell him why he was dismissed and he was not even permitted to meet with the Permanent Secretary. Eventually, though, he was told by the Permanent Secretary that he was considered a “security risk.” He then tried every
children. He had to resort to hire car work.
Reverend Reuben Gilbert following his testimony yesterday effort to meet Mr. Burnham and eventually succeeded. He recalled Burnham asking him: “What is your politics comrade? Why didn’t you put your article in the New Nation?” The New Nation was the PNC organ (newspaper). After Gilbert returned to Guyana, he had written an article titled, ‘Unselfish hands promote the nation’ which was published in the Mirror newspaper (the PPP organ). It contained details of the conditions he observed when he returned to
Guyana. “It was not the Guyana I left and I was very concerned,” he said. Burnham told him he would hear from him but he never did. Gilbert then tried contacting the then Leader of the Opposition, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, who then helped him to secure a teaching job at the Covent Garden Secondary School in 1971. Eventually, though, Gilbert received a letter sending him to a school at the Venezuelan Border but he couldn’t go because he had a wife and two young
PREMONITION Gilbert told the COI that about three days before Rodney died, he had a strong intuition that he (Rodney) was going to be killed. He said he wanted to warn Rodney but hesitated. A force in him, however, kept pressing him to go to Rodney. Without even knowing where Rodney’s office was at this time, Gilbert said he nevertheless ended up at the correct address and warned Rodney that he was going to be killed. “He looked at me and dropped his head. He asked me to tell him about any situation I may have known about. I didn’t know anything else. I left and three days later he was killed,” Reuben told the COI. This premonition probably came about after Rodney’s last visit to Gilbert’s House. According to Gilbert, he could have sensed anxiety in Rodney who later told him that he was concerned about the survival of his wife and children. Gilbert also recalled that on one occasion when he went to visit Rodney, Gregory
Smith, the man later accused of murdering Rodney, was there to meet him as well.

Editorial
Proliferation of gangs precipitating another crime wave HEADLINES are screaming of the criminal activities of youths – in or out of school; even rape, robberies, home invasions and murder, and the perpetrators are getting younger and younger every day, some are even pre-teen. While some operate individually in committing crimes, most are members of gangs that roam around looking for prey before meeting up and sharing the spoils. Guyana’s political history is replete with young people who have been recruited by ruthless politicians with a multiplicity of promises, to
create mayhem and murder, all for power-hunger and self-aggrandisement, regardless of dire consequences to the victims, the perpetrators, the families of both, and society at large. Gang membership can serve many seemingly practical purposes in a young person’s life. Developmentally, early adolescence is all about fitting into a group and gaining independence from family, so the camaraderie that comes with being in a gang is alluring to many young people. Children who come from backgrounds where abuse or neglect is a norm, who
live in dangerous neighbourhoods, who are neglected by their parents and feel abandoned and unloved, who aren’t involved with school and community activities, or who live in poverty, are especially at risk of being influenced by politicians who are intent at wresting power at any cost. Joining a gang, which will often treat its new members like brothers, often seems like a better lifestyle than staying at home with a violent, neglectful or sexually abusive family, and provides a feeling of belonging. Peer pressure plays into it as well: if a child’s best friends are joining a gang, he may feel like the only way to continue that friendship is to join, too. Many forms of media glorify the gang
lifestyle, promising money, status, belongings, a sense of identity, parties and sex. A gang may be able to offer a child a place to stay, along with many luxury items they have never had. If a young person lives in poverty and his/her family lacks the means to provide even basic necessities, they may be tempted to join a gang to better themselves and family, or simply to obtain what they have never had, or have no hope of ever having. Failure to succeed in school may discourage children from feeling like they will ever be good enough to work in a real job, so gang membership may seem like a desirable alternative. “If you can’t beat them, join them,” sums up the feel-
ing many young people have regarding gang membership. Plenty of children feel threatened by local gangs, and if law enforcement is inadequate, the children’s only choice for protection is to join a gang. Likewise, if a child is being abused, being in a gang may make him feel tough enough to protect himself from his abuser. A feeling of lack of safety in a high-crime neighbourhood, availability of firearms and a culture in which gang membership is the norm also influence children. Parents need to be aware of warning signs that their child/children may be involved with a gang. If he starts wearing only one colour or one style of clothing, using hand signs, an unfamiliar
nickname or new slang, suddenly having more money, using graffiti or carrying weapons, it may be time to get a counsellor or other development professional involved. It is very difficult for kids to break away from gangs. The easiest way is to fade out membership slowly, by having other activities that take precedence, like a new job or volunteer activities. However, parents may need to move their families to a different area altogether to cut ties, or get their religious and/or community leaders involved in counselling and channeling the direction of youths so that they are not negatively influenced by peers and politicians.
UG inks agreement for better transportation service By Asif Hakim THE University of Guyana and the United Minibus Union (UMU) signed an agreement yesterday for better transportation service. UG Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jacob Opadeyi, who signed the agreement with the UMU at the University’s Education Conference room, said that the institution of higher learning is improving as the days go by and he is working along to develop the campus not only in transportation but in other ways. The agreement envisages the availability of reliable transportation from 7:30hrs to 21:30hrs on weekdays and from 7:30hrs to 17:00hrs on Saturdays. It also provides for the expansion of the service to the East Coast on weekdays from 17:00hrs to 21:30hrs. It is an entirely new service that is intended to fa-

UG partnered with the UMU to make the arrangements possible, and the union will be granted exclusive rights to the campus on condition that they provide the service outlined in the agreement.
Other conditionalities include the uniformity of the drivers and contributions towards maintenance of the road and turnpike. In addition, the agreement also involves the UG Students’ Society as an equal partner.

Labour Day Messages
Long live workers’ unity THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) salutes all workers on the occasion of International Labour Day. The PPP calls on all Guyanese to use this occasion to reflect on how far we have advanced in Guyana in terms of working class unity, and the economic and social gains we have made over the years. As a party that originated out of the bowels of the working class struggles, the PPP has always embraced a working class orientation. It would be recalled that one of the first actions taken by the PPP Government after it won power in the elections of 1953, was to enact the Labour Relations Bill which ultimately led to the suspension of the Constitution by the British Government and the eviction from office of the PPP Government after a mere 133 days in office. It took the return of the PPP to power after 28 years of PNC dictatorial rule before the Bill was finally passed and enacted. The PPP has always championed the cause of the working people both in and out of office. In this regard, the PPP is concerned over the failure of the Labour Movement to get its act together and wishes to call on the Guyana Trade Union’s Congress to stop engaging in
all manner of dilatory tactics and work earnestly with the FITUG to heal the rift in the Labour movement. It is clear that the TUC, instead of genuinely representing the cause of the Guyanese workers, is more interested in promoting an Opposition agenda which is doing harm to the interests of its constituent members and the working class movement as a whole. The PPP takes this opportunity to call on all workers not to allow themselves to be fooled by those who profess to have their interests at heart, but who are doing everything in their power to undermine the economic well- being and unity of the workers. The PPP’s commitment to the working people of Guyana can be seen in the numerous pieces of legislation passed. Some of these include: The termination of Employee Severance Pay Act, The Trade Union Recognition Act, The Occupational Safety & Health Act, and The Anti- Discrimination Act, along with the constant updates of the Labour Act and the Holidays with pay Act. Our ratification of ILO Convention’89 on Domestic workers put us ahead of all the countries in the
Caribbean, and the recent introduction of a national minimum wage, along with a 40 hour work week, gave nearly 32,000 workers who are non- unionized massive increases ranging between 60 percent to 80 percent increases. We also adapted to the ILO Decent Work Country Programme. Moreover, the Party’s record of granting annual increases to workers, thus improving real wages, has surpassed the expectations of our critics and has not been matched by the undemocratic forces which misruled Guyana for the period 1964 to 1992. The PPP takes this opportunity to commend the PPP/C Administration for the several measures it has taken over the years to protect the working and living conditions of workers, especially at a time when the working class in other parts of the capitalist world are reeling under the impact of a severe economic and social crisis. Long live the unity of workers in Guyana! Long Live Proletarian Internationalism! People’s Progressive Party May 1st, 2014
Trade unions play critical role MAY Day is a special occasion for the Labour Movement and workers in Guyana. It is a time when they should be able to celebrate the consolidation of their rights, increased wages and benefits, improved working conditions, the protection of pension rights and the general progress of the labour movement. Unfortunately, on May Day 2014, Guyanese workers are forced to lament the absence of any such gains. Guyanese workers cannot forget that, since acceding to Government in 1992, successive PPP Administrations have used their majority in the National Assembly to pass legislation designed to intimidate members of the labour movement and undermine the recognised trade union body, the Guyana Trade Union Congress (GTUC) and have
it replaced by the PPP cronies in the so-called Federation of Independent Trade unions (FITUG). In this context, note should be taken of the deliberate policy of encouraging trade unions aligned to the PPP to poach on the preserve of more independent unions in order to marginalise and destroy them. There has been a continuing and concerted effort to roll back the gains achieved, since the pioneering and foundational efforts of Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow and other stalwarts who made major personal sacrifices for the achievements of many of the workers’ rights that are now under attack. Indeed some anti-working class elements are peddling the idea that trade unions have outlived their usefulness, and that those conditions which Critchlow fought for, such as a living wage
and better conditions of work, can be better provided for by employers, such as the Government, themselves. It should be clear to all genuine members of the labour movement in Guyana, that it would require unity of purpose to successfully defend their hard-earned rights. As a consequence of the anti-working class policies of the PPP/C Administration, even before the advent of the global economic events, Guyanese workers have been caught up in a vicious struggle to survive and ensure their material betterment. Indeed, with the introduction of the unconscionable 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in 2007, the cost of living in Guyana spiked, considerably undermining the ability of our workers to provide for their families and sustain themselves.

We salute all teachers
AS we celebrate workers of all classes in our society today, we at the Ministry of Education salute and celebrate our hard working and dedicated teachers and administrative staff who work ardently every day to shape the young minds and the future of Guyana. There are no set of words that can amply describe the importance of teachers in any society. The teaching profession is regarded worldwide as the mother of all professions, since it provides the foundation for learning in an individual, upon which all greater academic achievement rests. In other words, teachers are the crucial guardians of intellectual life in any society. The Government of Guyana recognises this, and has always placed great value on our teachers. And we have
matched that value with real actions within the last two decades, which have significantly improved the quality of life for our teachers. Teachers continue to benefit in numerous ways through the partnerships and agreements established by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Guyana Teachers Union, as together we strive to improve the working conditions of our teachers. Through the shrewd leadership of the GTU and its strategic engagements with the ministry, along with the commitment of the PPP/C Government, teachers today enjoy the best benefits ever made available to them in the history of Guyana. While there is always room for improvement in all conditions of life, our teachers are being paid the most they have ever been paid in 20 years, and enjoy more benefits than ever before. Today more teachers are being trained in Guyana than two decades ago. And very soon we will create history in Guyana when we elevate the teaching profession to its rightful place among the other recognised professions in Guyana, with the introduction of the Professional Standards for Teacher Education.
We look forward to the continued support of the Guyana Teachers Union as we work together to better the working conditions of our teachers. The Ministry of Education remains committed to improving the quality of teacher education in Guyana, and ultimately, the quality of teachers we place in the education system. Education is one of our nation’s biggest industries, and we, as a government, will continue to invest in it so that we can raise better generations of Guyanese citizens. As we reflect on the importance of Labour Day, let us remember the past from which we came, and work assiduously to affect positively the future we will enjoy. Today we celebrate our hard working teachers in a profession that continues to improve through the unremitting commitment of a caring Government. Let us continue the progress we have made so far in this most noble profession, and work in solidarity to build on that progress to make the teaching profession better. May God bless our teachers and our nation. Priya Manickchand Minister of Education

Gov’t revokes work permit of LEAD project head - immigration laws of Guyana have been offended -Luncheon By Vanessa Narine
THE work permit and extension of stay of International Republican Institute (IRI) resident Country Director, Glenn Bradbury, were revoked by Government, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon. Speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing, held yesterday at the Office of the President (OP), he explained that the revocation of the documents were based on the conclusion that the “immigration laws of Guyana have been offended” by Bradbury and his actions in Guyana. He added that Government understands that the revocation was communicated by Bradbury to his employer, the United States Embassy in Guyana, and the Canadian High Commission, as he is a Canadian citizen. Bradbury, according to an online professional profile, has more than 20 years of experience at the House of Commons of Canada as a Senior Parliamentary Assistant and Policy Advisor to Members of Parliament; and has amassed considerable expertise in several areas – governance, parliamentary and committee procedure, legislative drafting, regulatory regime reform, public policy analysis, strategic communications, media relations, reputation management, stakeholder engagement, issues management, and public affairs. The IRI Country Director has been in Guyana for some 10 months now, since July 2013, and his company, the IRI, is tasked with the implementing of the controversial US$300M Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) project. The Institute, an American organisation, has a reputation for interference in the internal politics of a country and several stakeholder groups have registered concerns over the
U.S. position on going ahead with LEAD on the basis of this recognition. AWAITING WORD Luncheon told the media that the current Administration is at present awaiting a “timely and official” word from the United States Ambassador to Guyana, Brent Hardt, on Gov-
Dr. Roger Luncheon

ernment’s reiteration of both its willingness to engage in talks over the project, as well as the condition that the implementation of the project be halted to facilitate talks. “We will not negotiate under duress,” he stressed. Luncheon noted that the question put to the United States, through Hardt, is whether or not the country is interested in re-engagement on the project, given that its implementation be halted, or not. The HPS met last Thursday with the US Ambassador at the Office of the President and explained that the meeting was an opportunity to allow the past actions of Hardt in moving
ahead with the project, despite Government’s clear objections, in the interest of moving forward from a consensual position. “It was an amazing assertion by the US Ambassador to say the Government knew and were informed of the project’s implementation,” he said, referencing Hardt’s comments on March 27 over the status of the project. The HPS reiterated that correspondence between the Government and the US Ambassador had made clear the Government’s position on the project. At his previous press conference, on April 17, the HPS had said, “I do believe we have been specific on our position on this matter. It seems that we have either not been heard or not understood. “…bad faith comes to mind immediately, readily, but non-disclosure of the continued implementation of the disapproved project, even in the midst of the fervor to have the bilateral engagement concluded to our mutual satisfaction, speaks of premeditation”. According to him, the Guyana Government was horrified in discovering a project on conflict resolution, while, at the same time, the “one party” was implementing the components of a controversial project in its entirety. The first component of it seeks to encourage consensus-building in the National Assembly and facilitate more effective interaction between the Assembly and citizens. The second component aims to strengthen the effectiveness of the National Assembly and boost citizen engagement with Parliament. The third aspect of LEAD is to motivate and better equip Guyanese youths to constructively engage in political and civic processes, and the fourth involves civic and voter education relating to elections and local government reform. The project was not approved by Cabinet and this was formally indicated to the relevant authorities on October 26, 2013.
NIS backlog of data entry to be completed by year-end - Luncheon By Vanessa Narine THE Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, yesterday, disclosed that the backlog of some 15 million records to be entered into the database of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and verified will be completed by the end of 2014. He made the announcement at his weekly press conference held at Office of the President, where he added that the task will be undertaken by the Scheme’s permanent staff, project staff and outsourced labour. According to him, the matter is one of concern for the current Administration and Cabinet has committed to providing the necessary resources and assistance to the Scheme to ensure that the long-overdue task is completed. The Government has consistently provided support to NIS and contributing employers and employees. In the 2014 Budget, an allocation of $226M to NIS was made under the current policy and administration Budget of the Ministry of Finance and was approved by the National
Assembly. Subject Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, explained that the $226M allocated comprised Government’s support for employers and employees who could not afford the one per cent increase in contributions to the NIS. That increase was put in place with effect from July 1, 2013 for persons whose insurable income was less than $50,000. Dr. Singh made it clear that the money does not represent any kind of bailout for the Scheme, although he acknowledged the real challenges facing NIS. However, he stressed the need for a “strong parliamentary consensus” to tackle those challenges. He said, “We did go through a process, the actuarial review process, which has been completed…. we all want a strong, viable financial scheme…. there are various recommendations considered by Cabinet…. we will bring the whole menu of measures to Parliament to have the issue ventilated. “…I will say that, on the matter of the NIS, Government
remains open to consideration of a full menu of measures to address challenges to NIS…we are open to all stakeholders to identify options and ventilate those policy options.” According to him, the challenges facing the NIS are well known, but the solutions are not immediately easy ones, since these include freezing benefits and increasing the pensionable age, among other responses. The minister explained that a number of undertakings are being addressed, with the one per cent increase in contributions being the first step to ensuring the financial viability of the NIS. “We have no difficulty (in) using the committee system of the National Assembly to pursue a solution,” he stressed. Singh also assured the House that Government recognises the urgency to move forward with the recommendations of the actuaries to address the challenges facing NIS. “We are taking a number of other steps to address the NIS…. Our efforts include diversifying the investment portfolio of the NIS,” he said. Last year, NIS received an allocation of $110M.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana...
Stabroek News has a twisted sense of history ... especially in the area of foreign policy
OLD Kai is not surprised at the juvenile attempt by a Stabroek News editorial on April 30, 2014 to present a utopian world of foreign policy for Guyana ONLY IF we are in the bosom of the United States of America and England (there is enough reason why I chose to single England out from the rest of the United Kingdom). To make their case, they seek to use their traditional bogey (the Venezuela border controversy) as the editorial indicates that “One might have thought too, that our government would have recognised that whatever position President Maduro might wish to adopt in relation to our common border, he is constrained by the traditional Venezuelan position and far too weak politically to take measures that depart from it. Furthermore, one might have thought that our government would have looked a little further down the road than it appears disposed to do, and seen that whoever comes after Mr Maduro – whether from his own party or the opposition – will cleave to the traditional position. In fact, the (Venezuela) opposition shows all the signs of being very bad news for Guyana.” The ‘bad news’ from Venezuela is then juxtaposed with Guyana supporting the territorial integrity of Argentina against the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands,
“the ruling party is hell bent set on alienating those, whose support it will need in the future – more particularly the US and the UK. It has taken an inexplicable stand over the Falkland Islands, especially considering that that particular case has direct bearing on ours, and Argentina is going to give Venezuela unequivocal backing.” So for the Stabroek News, Guyana’s territorial integrity will only be secured if we become lackeys of the US and UK. Their state of denial becomes more evident when they try to downplay the role of the very US in creating and stirring up the Venezuelan border controversy in the first instance as the newspaper indicates that “the position of the PPP/C has always been that the border controversy with Venezuela was a Cold War problem; that is to say it was part of the whole US scheme in association with the British – the colonial power to remove Dr Cheddi Jagan from office. While there is some truth in this, it is unlikely that it originated in Washington; almost certainly, it had its provenance in Caracas.” So here Stabroek News is on one hand indicating that there is some truth in the Venezuelan border controversy being part of a US scheme in association with the British to remove Dr. Jagan from office but on the other hand,
(Part 1)
it contends that such a plan was ‘unlikely’ to have originated in Washington and almost certainly had its origin in Venezuela. What Stabroek news is in essence trying to convince its readership is that Venezuela was in charge of the US foreign policy during the Cold War and apparently the US was just a helpless follower. This is the garbage a newspaper that is supposedly run by intellectuals would seek to publish in this day and age. Let us also remember that no less than late the President Hugo Chavez, during a visit to Guyana, in February 2004, had publicly revealed that it was the US which was responsible for fomenting strife between Guyana and Venezuela so as to divide us and push our nations into an armed conflict. He had recalled that the possibility of Guyana becoming another Cuba was used to whip up antagonism in the Venezuelan military which was given maps by the US that showed Venezuela surrounded by Cuba, Grenada and Guyana poised to attack it in the 60’s. But don’t believe the late hero of the Venezuelan people whose statement was never contradicted by the US; let us believe Stabroek News which is contending that such a ‘scheme was unlikely to have originated in Washington.’ To be continued…
Luncheon blasts APNU for making AML/CFT Bill political By Vanessa Narine THE Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) delegation, who visited Guyana last weekend, in the hope of lending support to end the stalemate over the enactment of the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill, were told that the challenge preventing its passage is “political” not technical. But Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) and Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon, yesterday, blasted A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) for taking that position, rather than placing the interest of the Guyanese people and the country first. Vice-Chairman of APNU, Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, immediately after meeting the CFATF officials last Saturday, had said: “In essence, we have a political crisis and it requires a political solution.” However, Luncheon, at his press conference in Office of the President, said Cabinet found the disclosure of this most recent contention, in the AML/CFT debacle, “manifestly strange” given the timing. He said how the APNU reasoning for the non-passage of the Bill will be viewed and interpreted by CFATF remains an unanswered question. The HPS contends that a “strange message” has been sent to the CFATF Executive on their historic visit. The AML/CFT Bill is still with the Parliamentary Select Committee, which is reviewing it and is, currently, waiting on Chief Parliamentary Counsel, Cecil Dhurjon to complete a new draft that includes more changes to the initial ones proposed by APNU. According to Luncheon, the Opposition should be asked to explain their position, particularly in light of the fact that other countries under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) framework, with vastly more different political environments, have been able to subscribe to the recommendations of the international financial sector regulator.
POLITICAL DIFFERENCES “They have all found it possible to address the requirements to subscribe to the guidelines, notwithstanding vast political differences,” he remarked. Luncheon maintained that the Parliamentary Opposition remains the sole obstacle to Guyana’s compliance with regional and international standards, which expose the Guyanese people to a host of consequences. He added that this fact has been recognised by the Guyanese people, the Private Sector and other local stakeholders, as well as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and more regional and international bodies, the most recent of which is now the CFATF Executive, given APNU’s pronouncement. APNU’s original three amendments include a change to the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); removal of the Attorney General wherever that name appears and replacement of it with the FIU and vesting a Police or Customs officer with the power to seize currency from any person, anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that it is the proceeds of crime or will be used to fund criminal activities. In addition to those proposed changes, APNU is calling for the Head of State to assent to several Bills he returned to the National Assembly with the explanation that they were unconstitutional. Meanwhile, the AFC, which supports APNU’s position, is demanding the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which Government has agreed to, providing that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process but the latter has been rejected by the AFC. Chair of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee currently reviewing the Bill, Ms. Gail Teixeira, in a previous interview, explained that the Government’s stance is “most reasonable” and is its “minimum”. LEAST CONFRONTATIONAL She said it is the simplest and least confrontational of all, underscoring the difficultly in the negotiation process, given
that neither APNU nor the AFC is willing to compromise on their “maximum” positions. “The Opposition has not been persuaded to move one iota on its maximum positions…this is not something to take lightly…this is a serious development in our country,” Teixeira said. According to her, Government is working to come to an agreeable situation but is not “living in a fool’s paradise” when it comes down to recognising that there is little room for negotiation. She stated: “For us, the door is open and we continue to do our best. We will try to free this Bill from being held hostage and we continue to do our best.” “It has been an awfully long haul,” Teixeira remarked, referring to the fact that the Committee’s work has been ongoing for more than 10 months. Non-passage of the Bill will not only affect Guyana and its economy, but the Region as a whole. Guyana has already been blacklisted regionally by CFATF and the final deadline for Guyana to ensure it has complied with CFATF’s recommendation is May 29. QUITE LIKELY However, stakeholders, including Luncheon, have expressed the view that Guyana is quite likely going to miss that date, as it has missed several others since November 2013, when it was regionally blacklisted. If May 29 passes without the enactment of the AML/CFT Bill, the country can be recommended to the international body, FATF, for review by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG). If that recommendation is made, Guyana could face further sanctions, including being internationally blacklisted. Getting off that blacklist could take as long as 18 months at the regional level alone, CFATF Advisor, Mr. Roger Hernandez said, during his visit here on February 21. Both CFATF and FATF have hosted meetings throughout the year to review progress, as well as to advocate changes to tighten the legislative framework that addresses money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Basil Williams upbraided for baseless objections
THE Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI) yesterday took PNC Chairman Basil Williams to task for his repeated objections about heresay evidence being admitted. Williams, who sits on the legal team representing the Party’s interest in the COI into the 1980 death of Dr. Rodney, charged that Guyanese laws have been suspended to facilitate the COI and that, “anything goes in this Commission.” But Commissioner Seenath Jairam said he per-
sonally took umbrage at this statement as it reflects very badly on the commissioners. “I think you have not thought through this statement. We have not suspended the laws. We are bound by the laws. You are making a very serious statement. I don’t think you are being fair to us. Speaking for myself, I have not suspended the laws of Guyana. So I want to make that clear to you,” Jairam told Williams, following one of his repeated objections. Jairam pointed out that a
body such as a COI is entitled to make its own rules and that one has to appreciate that the Commissioners are dealing with an incident which occurred many years ago and hence information will have to be sifted in order to determine relevance. Williams’ statement came yesterday just after Reverend Reuben Gilbert gave evidence in the COI at the Supreme Court Law Library. He was the fourth witness to take the stand since the hearings began on Monday.

PNC Chairman, Basil Williams makes an objection during the COI yesterday
Following Gilbert’s testimony, he urged the commissioners to examine two books that he walked with, both which featured information of what took place in Guyana. Lawyer Latchmie Rahamat, who led Gilbert’s testimony, suggested that the books be formally tendered and copies be made. Basil Williams then told the commissioners that the books should have been produced by their secretariat. “I know that we have suspended our laws for this trial but it would really be stretching it for him to tender books that he didn’t author. I keep reiterating that we had problems with the Terms of Reference but even with the Terms of Reference as they are, we are going all over the place,” Williams contended. The PNC lawyer said he could not see the relevance among these books but the COI Chairman, Sir Richard
Cheltenham, warned Williams not to doubt the commissioners’ capacity to determine relevance. Cheltenham also pointed out that no one spoke of suspending the laws of Guyana, but flexibility was what was discussed. Commissioner Jacqueline Samuels-Brown urged Williams to be specific when he raise objections and criticise. She pointed out that the rules of evidence are rules of procedure, hence when Guyana’s law, the Commission of Inquiry Act, give the commissioners the power to make rules for procedure, they would also include rules of evidence. She also said that in different court proceedings, the rules of evidence may be relaxed to what is allowed. So it is accepted that in different arenas, and for different purposes, the rules of evidence may be relaxed and adjusted, she said. “I would just like to give my own caution that when
you raise these objections, you should be specific to the matter that you are objecting to and not give a wide ranging condemnation,” Ms. Samuels-Brown chided. On June 13, 1980, Dr. Walter Anthony Rodney was killed by a bomb blast in Georgetown, Guyana. His death has been called an assassination based on the known facts and circumstances surrounding his death. On June 13, 2013, the Guyana Government, following a direct request from the Rodney Family, announced that it has approved the establishment of an International Commission of Inquiry into the assassination of Dr. Walter Rodney. Sir Richard Cheltenham, K.A., Q.C, Ph.D, was appointed Chairman of the Commission. Mrs. Jaqueline Samuels-Brown, Q.C., and Mr. Seenath Jairam, S.C., are the other two persons on the three-member Commission.

Trade unions...
Public Servants in Guyana continue to be under the hammer of their employer, the uncaring and callous PPP/C Administration, which continues to negate the Agency Shop Agreement with the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU), and brazenly commits many breaches of the Collective Labour Agreement with the union, such as deliberately protracting the annual salaries negotiations and then breaking them off towards the end of the year so as to impose its own arbitrarily determined paltry increases which are usually well below the cost-of-living. Guyanese workers must be consciously aware of the current fragile state of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), which has resulted from the accumulated mismanagement and manipulation by the acolytes of the PPP/C Administration. In all of the adverse prevailing circumstances which confront the Trade Union Movement, particularly the public servants, careful attention should be paid to the intransigence and stubborn refusal of the Donald Ramotar PPP/C
Administration to: . Reduce the VAT by 2%; . Increase Public Servant emoluments by 10% acrossthe board, while committing to the effective re-establish-
ment of normal Collective Bargaining negotiations; . Implement the various proposals and recommendations for the reform and modernisation of the Public Service.
. Halt the blatant misuse of the device of Contract workers to bypass the rules established by the Public Service Commission and to undermine the GPSU;
. Increasing the pensionable age for Public Servants to 65 years; . Reduce the Berbice River Bridge toll to $1,000.00; . commit to the pursuit
of an action programme which would restore the long term viability of the NIS; and People’s National Congress Reform Congress Place, Sophia

GRA reminds taxpayers to file tax returns
THE Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has its sights set on collecting $135.3B in taxes for the 2014 fiscal period, Commissioner General Khurshid Sattaur said Tuesday during a press conference . The GRA head said that this year, his staffers will increase their efforts to have tax-payers honour their commitments voluntarily. “Expect a lot of that from me, to engage in sensitising the public, putting out public notices, holding more workshops, having more educational programmes, you’ll see much more of us, we’ll be more visible this year to ensure that people understand and honour their obligations more voluntarily”. Among recently introduced innovations are online banking, which is intended to facilitate payments in a more convenient manner. This new facility has not been utilised as expected thus far by tax-payers, according to Sattaur, despite many of them previously requesting this type of service. “Now that we have it here, the poor showing suggests that the tax-payers were maybe playing games with us. We’ve only had about 50 transactions so far with remote services provided to tax-payers. It is either through the telephone, they can call in, having set up their account of course, call in to Republic Bank or they can go online to Demerara Bank and make their respective payments for any taxes. We’ve had just two persons doing that, I happen to be one of them”. A money transfer facility operated with support from Western Union has had a little more success, Mr. Sattaur said, with 50 persons using this service. These services offer tremendous benefits to tax-payers as they can avoid commuting to the busy Camp Street Head Office, with what was described as a “frustratingly long wait” due to services being consolidated at one location. Despite these setbacks, Sattaur said, the GRA is still persevering with its efforts. “We’re going to bring GBTI and Scotia Bank on board very shortly. There was total lack of interest on the part of Citizen’s Bank and Baroda. These
other banks, we’re working with them; hopefully soon we’ll have engagements with them, through agreements. There’s a little cost involved, not more than a $100 per transaction, some of it we will bear for the tax-payer”. Looking forward to the future, the GRA head said that very soon, tax payers will not be required to file returns physically. They will have to utilise the online services as a contract has already been signed to facilitate this feature described by him as “a major accomplishment”. He added that no less than 250,000 people would be expected to file their income tax returns, electronically on-
Kurshid Sattaur line. Customs declarations will also be done online, he said. All of these innovative measures are being put into place with the aim of easing tax-payers’ stress and assuring convenience. He reminded errant taxpayers that the sooner they face up to their obligations and comply, the easier it will be for them. It is estimated that those who are in the wealthiest bracket of society, particularly the self-employed, are only paying approximately 25% of what they should actually pay, according to the GRA Commissioner General, and the agency is continuing its efforts to ensure that “hard to tax” groups pay their fair share. “You have to do a lot of enforcement activities, take them to court, order them etc”. Audit and verification exercises have been very successful, according to Sattaur, along with the efforts of the GRA’s Debt Management Unit, which realised more than $8B in revenues from their work. He also praised his Public Relations Department for
educating the public about their obligations and the benefits of ensuring that their tax obligations are fulfilled, describing their work as “very vital”. The public has an important role to play to ensure that businesses pay their fair due, and as such customers, must collect their receipts when making purchases, Sattaur stressed. “When you go to a dentist or doctor, demand your receipts, when they charge you $500,000 or $2M for an operation, demand your receipts because only by having your receipt they will be forced to report that income to me, please. You, the tax payer out there, play a very vital role in helping me to police the laws. You fail to do what you are supposed to do as honourable citizens, you make it more difficult for me and you allow those who are high-income earners, and do not pay their taxes, immunity from the law”. He explained that not collecting a receipt, customers have no recourse if the good is defective, and they’re allowing the business operator to rob the treasury. The GRA also has a hotline available to assist persons and this is always operational. Several companies are currently before the courts for tax evasion and the GRA head made it clear that their employees and business associates need to be aware of the perils this could result in. “Those people who are working for COPS, for example, would have never thought that the company would have been subject to bankruptcy proceedings by the GRA, but it happened. You have two other companies that we have asked for bankruptcy proceedings, and we are fighting them in the court; they’re DIDCO and Friendship Holdings. I have to make these things public because a lot of these employees who work for these entities are not even aware that their employers are tax cheats!....and when they think they have a safe employment, the next thing they may wake up to find in the newspaper, is that their employer is taken to court for bankruptcy proceedings”. Yesterday was the deadline for tax- payers to file their income tax returns.
… agency aims to meet target of $135.3B …deadline for filing returns was yesterday

GPL heightens campaign against illegal and unmetered connections ...Skull City and Long Pond without light
ILLEGAL electricity connections, in some instances used to power entire streets, were Tuesday removed during a raid of Skull City, Patentia; and Long Pond, Sister’s Village on the West Bank Demerara. Soon after the exercise, several persons turned up at the company, claiming they paid sums of money for their installation. The exercise, a joint venture between two units within the Guyana Power and Light Inc: the Loss Reduction Operation and the Loss Reduction Field Service, is part of a monthly exercise which targets different areas where customers are seeking to by-pass the system and illegally obtain the electricity service. In addition to targeting illegal connections, the teams also looked at un-metered supply of power to customers. In both areas, there were instances where one pole connection was used to power several houses in the streets. In the case of Skull City, which is a squatting settlement, it was found that a pole had wires running in all directions, and in many instances, these illegal connections were running on the ground to homes. In other instances, the pre-paid boxes on some of the poles were found to be empty, as they were just being used as a cover for the illegal connections. However, a few residents in Skull City and a smaller number in Long Pond had receipts to show that they were
in fact paying for their power connection. These residents claimed that they visited the GPL office with their house documents and paid for the connection. They said that persons from GPL, wearing the company’s badge and in the company’s vehicles, visited their homes and made the necessary connections. One resident in Skull City claimed that her common-law husband paid as much as $75,000 to be hooked up for connection to the pre-paid meter box, and that a GPL personnel set up the pole for that connection; but to date the actual meter has not been installed. Senior Manager, Loss Reduction Unit, Loknauth Singh, told the Government Information Agency that, “There seems to be an element of collusion between residents and GPL staff.” Singh stated that GPL has pole specifications, and those used were basically four-by-four pieces of wood which is dangerous to humans and animals. He said the areas are not regularised housing areas, and especially Skull City, which is swampy, is unsuitable for running transmission lines. He said if the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) authorises electrifying the area, then it will be done. The GPL official said the company has to conduct a design of the area before poles can be planted. Senior Investigator, GPL, David Kaladin, who was part of the exercise said even though the power connec-
tions were being removed, those residents with legitimate services were invited to visit the GPL Office. Kaladin also noted that each meter box removed has a number, and these will be used to identify the particular contractor who did the installation of these services. (GINA)

Newly renovated, extended PAC building commissioned
A LONG-STANDING partnership between Germany and Guyana has led to another important step in Guyana’s biodiversity conservation effort and its fight against climate change, with the opening of the first national-level institution for protected areas management in Guyana. The new Protected Areas Commission (PAC) building in the National Park was Tuesday evening officially commissioned by Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds, performing the duties of President; Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud; and German Ambassador to Guyana, Stefan Schluter. The building, which represents a key tool in Government’s integrated and sustainable approach to the management of Guyana’s natural resources, was completely renovated and extended by 800 square feet under the Germany and Guyana implemented ‘Guyana Protected Areas System (GPAS) Project.’ The building, Schomburgk House, is named after late Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk, the Germanborn explorer who carried out geographical and botanical studies in Guyana. The Prime Minister noted that protection of the forest, conservation and development of protected areas and parks are crucial to the country’s eco-tourism development thrust, and so the government and people of
Guyana are appreciative of the support of the Government of Germany and its people for the assistance it has been receiving, towards this venture. He noted too that Guyana has also been receiving government and private sector support from Germany in the area of energy. “So we look to the continued relationship between the people of Guyana and the people of Germany, in all areas; but particularly we see a growing partnership in this area of conservation of parks and protected areas system,” the Prime Minister said. He said that he looks forward to Guyana gaining some international reputation in this area. According to Minister Persaud, Guyana and Germany
started its partnership in conservation in 2004, with the implementation of the €2.56M, GPAS Project. He said that the then Phase 1 of the GPAS project supported sustainable livelihood projects in over 30 Amerindian communities associated with Shell Beach, Kanuku Mountains, Kaieteur National Park and the Upper Mazaruni. It also led to the drafting of the National Protected Areas Act, delineation plans for both the Kanuku Mountains and Shell Beach Protected Areas, and a draft Kanuku Mountains Management Plan. Minister Persaud said that the Guyana-Germany partnership, which represents one of the only bilateral cooperation agreements in the Caribbean,

Also in picture is Minister Persaud is now into Euro 5.15M, Phase II of GPAS, with Euro 4M serving as an endowment to the Protected Areas Trust Fund. The remaining funds are being utilised for the establishment of the PAC offices, and the development of management plans and infrastructure in key protected areas. The Natural Resources Minister said that the ministry looks forward to the continuation of the partnership with Germany under GPAS III, through which it is hoped that the two countries can work to pioneer
new approaches in biodiversity conservation and low-carbon, climate resilient development. “The innovation fostered under this bilateral relationship will no doubt be applicable to other member states in CARICOM, and others in the developing world,” he said. "With this solid legislative and financial foundation, and with the help of our German and other partners and stakeholders, we will shape a National Protected Areas System in Guyana (NPAS) that is inclusive, effective and ultimately financially
sustainable,” he added. The minister noted that, along with the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), a world class NPAS will put Guyana on par with other nations at the forefront of new and innovative approaches to conservation and sustainable development. Ambassador Schluter also said that the commissioning ceremony highlighted the close and trusted partnership between the two countries. He listed the tourist centre at Kato Falls, grant for small community development project, support for the development of management plans, demarcation of protected areas and development of protected areas bills as projects in Guyana that were financed with German funds. “My Government is looking forward to continuing the successful participation of the strengthening of your protected areas through our financial cooperation,” he said. The Ambassador said that the construction and equipping of the PAC office is an important step in this regard, but others will follow. The new PAC building will additionally house the Ministry of Natural Resources Litter Unit, and will also be the base for the ThreeParks Initiative, which aims to rehabilitate and transform Georgetown’s green landscape; the Botanical Gardens, Zoological Park and National Park.

Recalcitrant Region 6 Councilor Yusuf warns of dissolution By Dwayne Wills
DISSOLUTION threatens as controversy continues within the Alliance For Change (AFC) since the party called for his resignation, Regional Councilor representing it in Region 6 (East Berbie/Corentyne) Haseef Yusuf has warned. Member of Parliament
and Party Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan, had demanded that Yusuf resign, after describing him as a “rogue.” Ramjattan then declared that Yusuf was no longer an AFC member while claiming he was being influenced by the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C). The accusations surfaced after Yusuf moved a motion, calling for the AFC and other Opposition parties in Parliament to support the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) Amendment Bill. Yusuf, subsequently, stubbornly remarked that he will continue to be the “thorn in the AFC’s posterior” once
they continue to stymie development.
NOT PAID SUBSCRIPTION Ramjattan, however, maintained that Yusuf had not paid his subscription in years and insisted that the Councilor does not represent the party in his letters and motions. The AFC had made clear its position in the National Assembly, that it will not assent to the AML/CFT Bill until the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) is duly constituted. Ramjattan further lamented that it was Yusuf who had strongly supported the establishment of the PPC in 2011 but has since
changed his stance towards standing against potential economic blacklisting of Guyana for non-compliance with the regulations of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF). In the continuing imbroglio, Councilor Yusuf had attacked the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) in an open letter to the Guyana Times on April 26, 2014. He criticised the WPA and Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, a long time friend of the late Dr. Walter Rodney, for not participating in the current Commission of Inquiry into the death of the latter who had been the Founder of that very party. The letter lashed out at what it said was the destructive politics, at the time, of the People’s National Congress (PNC) and Guyana’s dramatic shift from “breadbasket of the Caribbean to being the begging basket of the world,” as well as, the rigging of elections and an atmosphere of complete subjugation to the regime. Yusuf noted that Rodney was a considerable threat to the (Forbes) Burnham regime since it drew support from the Afro-Guyanese which would, ultimately, mean the division of support thus reducing the PNC stronghold. STARK REMINDER Yusuf said, in a strange turn of events, another qualified Guyanese, Vincent Teekah, who was the Minister of Education up to the time of his death, had also been killed as a stark reminder of what, presumably, was the outcome of non-allegiance to the regime. The Region 6 Councilor bashed the WPA members who once felt strongly that the PNC regime was responsible for the death of Rodney but could not fathom that, now, many of the leaders of the WPA have “opportunistically turned their backs on their fallen comrade.”

Labour Minister Dr. Nanda Gopaul hands over the trophy to a teacher of the Vreed-en-Hoop Primary, which secured first place in its category in the essay competition.
Labour Ministry marks World Day ... From centre pages
a moment to express my sympathies to the private sector body on the loss of their chairman, a very distinguished personality, Mr. Ronald Webster, who passed away yesterday (April 27)”. Mr Dale Beresford of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) congratulated the Ministry of Labour for providing awareness and implementing procedures to deal with occupational safety and health. He said the records show that 2014 has thus far had the least amount of reported accidents or deaths at a workplace within the last five years. He also said the GTUC was in full support of the works conducted by the Labour Ministry. The following persons also spoke at the ceremony: Mr Seepaul Narine of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG); Mr Samuel Goolsarran of the Consultative Association of Guyanese Industries (CAGI); and Mr Lincoln Lewis of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), who all congratulated the Ministry of Labour on holding the conference, and insisted that having the necessary laws is the first step, and now implementing the said laws must become priority. In this regard, intensive efforts must be brought to bear to offer a clear response to the continuous growth in chemicals production and changes in the organisation of work in this field. Prior to World Day for Safety and Health, the Ministry of Labour conducted an essay and poster competition for primary and secondary school students, in accordance with this year’s theme; and with the assistance of the Ministry of Education, all 10 regions were able to participate. Rosignol Secondary placed first in the essay competition, securing 18 points; while Vreed-en-Hoop Primary placed first in its category with 16 points. Raveena Persaud of Vreed-enHoop Primary placed first for the poster competition, securing 17 points. Celebration of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an integral part of the ILO’s Global Strategy on Occupational Safety and Health, and promotes the creation of a global preventative safety and health culture involving all stakeholders. In many parts of the world, national authorities, trade unions, employers' organisations and safety and health practitioners organise activities to celebrate this date.

Error to let AG probe himself
(Trinidad Guardian) The offices of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan have been discredited in the wake of the latest allegations against the Office of the AG, says former attorney general Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj. Comparing allegations of corruption
among state attorneys to the Section 34 and e-mailgate scandals, Maharaj yesterday took the PM to task over the lack of a proper investigation into the AG’s office after the concerns raised by former solicitor general Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell. Speaking at a press conference at his San Fernando
Aries March 21 - April 19 You’re irresistible, and that is lots of fun -- but it’s not always easy. You might have to juggle a few people who are helpless in the face of your magnetic charms. It doesn’t help that your personal energy is turning up the volume -- way, way up -- on your already high levels of charisma. All this attention is kind of fabulous, and you’re loving it more and more with every moment. Taurus April 20 - May 20 Don’t overload yourself, especially if someone close is trying to talk you into making a long-term commitment you’re really just not too sure about. Listen to your feelings -- if they tell you to hold off, there’s almost certainly a good reason for it. Most importantly, don’t try to just be nice and say ‘yes’ to everything that everyone asks from you -- that road leads only to disaster. Hold off for a while before asking for more.
Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj
office yesterday, he said it was the first time in T&T that a solicitor general had complained to a prime minister about alleged improper and unlawful conduct. He said if his solicitor general had complained during his stint as AG, he would not have waited to resign from office. “The serious question which arises is why the Prime Minister, in the face of these serious allegations of possible criminal conduct in the conduct and management of litigation on behalf of the State by the Ministry of the Attorney General, did not take action to investigate these serious allegations,” he asked, adding it seemed the PM was not interested in fighting corruption. “The Prime Minister had the solicitor general’s letter in August, 2013, telling her that possible unlawful and corrupt conduct was happening since mid-2010, for almost four years.”
Gemini May 21 - June 21 Your social and work calendars are filling up fast, but let’s face it -- you love all the activity and wouldn’t have it any other way. Occasionally, though, something or someone might have to take a hit as one event or another takes precedence. As long as you warn people in advance, you shouldn’t cause any serious problems. Just revel in your exciting schedule, and make sure not to overextend yourself while you’re at it. Cancer June 22 - July 22 A major effort is needed from you today, and you might be the go-to person for organising others as well. If a leadership role doesn’t feel quite right now, get ready for all that to change. You have more resources, inside and out, than anyone realises, including yourself. Don’t worry that you’re not up to the challenge -- just say ‘yes’ and see what happens next. When your need is great, the universe moves to meet you. Leo July 23 - August 22 It’s funny how sometimes people say they believe one thing and then turn around and do the exact opposite. Try not to call them hypocrites today, however. Nobody’s perfect, and expecting either yourself or your loved ones to adhere to some impossible ideal just ensures that you end up deeply disappointed in someone sooner or later. Why not just cut them (and, you guessed it, yourself) the tiniest bit of slack? Virgo August 23 - September 22 You know that life isn’t a battle, but a game, and you don’t let anyone tell you differently. The only trick is knowing the rules of the game, and if you do, you can turn any circumstance into victory. Today’s rules are pretty straightforward, actually, and you’ve seen them coming. First, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Second, keep the faith. Finally, remember that what you get out of this life is what you put into it. Pretty simple, right? Libra September 23 - October 22 Continuing to do things in a certain way because it’s the way they’ve always been done may feel safe and comfortable to you, but it’s not doing much to help you achieve your real goals. Make a serious effort to bust out of your comfort zone. Take a look at what you could be doing to get where you really want to go -- even if it entails shaking up to your life and habits in a serious way. Be brave and take that first step. Scorpio October 23 - November 21 The best thing about the wheel of fortune is that it always turns the right way sooner or later -- so if you’ve just lost big, that means a big win is on the way. Luck is most definitely turning in your direction, so make sure you’ve got your heart’s desire well within your sights. Don’t act hastily or greedily, though. If you try to make too much of this streak, you’re sure to end it before its time. Savour your impending victory, but wait a day or two before making your move. Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 Someone new might look simply irresistible, but you need to reserve your judgment until you know just a little bit more. Whether the situation is work- or romance-related, now is not the perfect time to dive headfirst until you have a greater sense of their character. Once the shiny wrapping and gold foil comes off, they might not be who you thought they were. Be cautious and move slowly. Capricorn December 22 - January 19 You know deep in your bones that the only way to real success is through practice, practice and more practice. You can see that you need to shape up a bit more today, too. You might ask a perfectly straightforward question only to get a weird non sequitur in reply. Look beneath the surface and draw on your experience to find some very good advice. Aquarius January 20 - February 18 Love, romance, laughter -- you’ve got all the right elements put together, but it might all feel like a house of cards. Make sure you’ve cleared everything with that special someone in your life, or it all could blow over in a strong wind. Communication is the key to ensuring that these grand plans come off in grand style. You should never assume that someone else knows what you’re thinking anyway -- but that goes double right now. Pisces February 19 - March 20 Once again, your dreams are trying to tell you something -- both the night and day variety. Listen up! Some big clues to your latest puzzles lie in the realm of your subconscious, so don’t summarily just dismiss them out of hand, even if they seem extra crazy. Start tracking your reoccurring dreams if you can. Many answers are well within your reach, so inquire within.

Australia back on top of the world after annual Test update … MICHAEL CLARKE’S SIDE ALSO REMAINS THE TOP RANKED ODI SIDE AUSTRALIA has reclaimed the numberone Test ranking and has also retained its top ODI spot in the Reliance ICC Team Rankings at the May 1 annual update. This is the first time since December 2008 that Australia has been ranked number-one in both Tests and ODIs at the same time. Australia last held the number-one Test ranking in August 2009, when it was displaced after losing 2-1 to England. Australia has now edged ahead of South Africa, which had held the number-one position since August 2012. In the latest table, Australia has gained eight ratings points to move up from 115 to 123, while South Africa has dropped from 127 to be level on 123, with Australia ahead of South Africa by a fraction
of a point. The results from 2010-11 have now been dropped from the rankings calculation, while the results from 2012-2013 are now reduced to a weighting of 50 per cent. In 20102011, Australia had lost to India (2-0) and England (3-1), while it suffered a 4-0 defeat in India in 20122013. Australia captain Michael Clarke was delighted with the news that his side was now on top of both the Test and ODI tables. “We are incredibly proud to be the number-one ranked team in the world in both Test and ODI cricket, which are two of the team’s most important goals,” said Clarke. “There has been an enormous amount of hard work and effort on and off the field that has led to this result.
“However, the true test of a great side is sustained success and now our goal is to maintain these rankings and continue to play great cricket as we head into challenging Test series against Pakistan and India, and the ICC Cricket World Cup at home,” he added. Australia was the first team to be ranked numberone in Test cricket when the ICC introduced the current rankings system in 2003. Since the system was introduced, Australia has been ranked as the number-one Test side for 74 months, more than any other side. South Africa is a distant second, having spent 23 months on top. South Africa had outstanding 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons when it won six of the seven Test series it played. It defeated Sri Lanka (2-

However, as these series are now only weighted at 50 per cent, it has dropped four ratings points to slip from 127 ratings points to 123. The biggest change in the rankings table at the annual May 1 update is of India which has slipped from third to fifth after dropping 10 ratings points. India’s 2010-2011 victories against Australia, New Zealand and West Indies (away), as well as a drawn series against South Africa, no longer count to the rankings. Similarly, India’s 2011-2012 victory against the West Indies, and 2012-2013 victories against New Zealand and Australia are now weighted at 50 per cent. (ICC website)

GBA punches off... enthusiasts will see the return of pugilists from the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) to the family of amateur boxing - a move Ninvalle highlighted as exciting and wonderful for the GBA family. “We at the GBA wish to welcome back the NOC into our family of amateur boxing and we wish to use this as an opportunity to let persons know that boxing is a sport that can be used to rehabilitate persons within our society,” said Ninvalle. He pointed out that five boxers from the Essequibo-based correctional facility, namely Andrew Newton, Niko Jodha, Kalvin Barry, Joel Bess and Samuel Forde, were all under
the tutelage of national boxing coach Wincell Thomas, who said the boxers are ready and raring to have a go tomorrow night. “The NOC over the years has produced many national champions. Prominent trainers, including Lennox Daniels and former FECARBOX champion Michael Benjamin, frequented the NOC and passed on their ideas of the sport to those who were willing to listen. “Our hope is to make sure the NOC remains within the GBA and after competing in the Novices, they can be in the Intermediate and later National Open championships and, come next year, we will
ensure they are much better prepared” said Ninvalle. In response to Dr Anthony’s challenge which they are heeding, Ninvalle said the GBA is also looking to take the sport to the Cinderella County, adding that the officials are looking at the possibility of hosting their Intermediate Championships there. Thomas disclosed that a number of females within the NOC have shown much interest in the sport. Lawrence Kellman, who, along with Brandon Caboose accompanied the five boxers to the City, said he has been working with them on their physical aspect and he knows they are enthusiastic about
competing successfully in the Novices Championships. In his brief remarks, Technical Director of the GBA, Terrence Poole, said the governing body would be breaking new ground, with the hosting of the Novices championship in an area that has never seen boxing of any nature, calling it an historical one. The weigh-in will occur at the Andrew ‘Six Heads’ Lewis gym from 17:00hrs this afternoon, while the two nights of action will see close to 60 boxers from across Guyana including Linden, Berbice, Essequibo, do battle in four different categories namely, Females, Youth (1516), Juniors (17-18) and Elite.

Champions League …
Inspired Atletico ease past Chelsea to set up Madrid final By Mike Collett LONDON, England (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid produced an inspired display of counterattacking football to beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League semi-final second leg yesterday and set up an all-Spanish final against city rivals Real. Goals from Adrian Lopez, a penalty from Diego Costa and the killer third from Arda Turan 18 minutes from time gave Atletico a 3-1 aggregate victory after last week’s goalless draw in Madrid to send them into the final of Europe’s elite competition for the first time since 1974. Chelsea took the lead after 36 minutes when former Atletico favourite Fernando Torres scored with a deflected shot, but the goal inspired the La Liga leaders who will now meet their neighbours in the first European final in any UEFA competition to feature two clubs from the same city in Lisbon on May 24. “The truth is the team was
brilliant,” Atletico forward Costa said in an interview with Spanish television broadcaster Canal Plus. “We have done everything possible to get to the final. Both Real Madrid and we are deserved finalists.” Atletico knew that if they scored one goal Chelsea needed at least two to win the match in 90 minutes and they did not panic even when they went behind to Torres’ opening strike. Torres, linked with a move back to his boyhood club after three disappointing seasons at Chelsea, did not celebrate the goal against his former club, but the hosts did not have the chance to celebrate for too long either. Atletico, set up in a cautious defensive 4-4-2 formation by coach Diego Simeone, counter-attacked with great pace and that adventure paid off when they equalised a minute before halftime. MOURINHO AMAZED Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, who also set up his team
to defend deeply to cope with Atletico’s swift breaks, watched in amazement as poor defending allowed Atletico to draw level in the
Real Madrid and his dream of becoming the first man to win the trophy with three different clubs in his home capital of Lisbon faded as the evening got
Fernando Toress 44th minute. He was even more astonished in the second half as Atletico totally dominated his flatlooking side, taking control of the midfield where Koke, Turan and the tireless Costa overran Eden Hazard and Cesar Azpilicueta who faded on the right as the game wore on. Mourinho has now lost his last four Champions League semifinals after three defeats with
worse. There was nothing lucky about Atletico’s win. They looked hungrier for the ball, were quicker in the tackle and sharper all over the field as Chelsea visibly wilted. Chelsea’s opening goal seemed to inspire the visitors more than it did the home side whose supporters were left in stunned silence as their team capitulated. It came after Willian turned
his marker wide on the right before Azpilicueta, playing in an unfamiliar midfield role, set up the chance for Torres who clipped the ball home via a deflection off Mario Suarez. Torres started as Chelsea’s lone striker but although they finished with three strikers on the field after Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba were brought on, they looked impotent in front of goal. Atletico took advantage of poor Chelsea defending for the equaliser a minute before halftime when the home team failed to clear a floated cross from former Chelsea midfielder Tiago to the unmarked Juanfran who stole in at the far post. He crossed for Adrian Lopez whose shot bounced down on its way into the net. Atletico, who held the away goal advantage with the score at 1-1, refused to sit back and were rewarded after an hour when Eto’o, who had replaced Ashley Cole only six minutes earlier, fouled Diego Costa to concede a penalty after an hour.
The Brazilian-born newlycapped Spain international was shown a yellow card by referee Nicola Rizzoli for taking too long to settle the ball then making a mark on the turf with his boot before taking the kick. But despite that delay, he showed nerves of steel and blasted the ball past Schwarzer to make it 2-1 before Turan sealed a glorious victory as Chelsea’s dream of a third appearance in the Champions League final in seven years were left in tatters. “The game until a certain minute was very equal,” Mourinho told Sky Sports. “The first half was more ours than theirs, but the secondhalf one minute changes everything. One minute the Atletico keeper makes a very good save, the same minute it was a penalty, after that, 2-1 against Atletico is almost impossible. “After that there was only one team. One team with morale high, knowing they had the result under control.”
Spanish police detain Alves banana thrower

Adidas reinstates Clippers deal after racism row (REUTERS) - German sportswear firm Adidas has reinstated its partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers after the National Basketball Association (NBA) banned its owner Donald Sterling from the game for life for racist comments. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said on Tuesday Sterling, 80, will be barred from any role in the operations of his franchise or from serving as one of
the league’s governors. “We fully support the league’s decision. As a long-term partner of the NBA, we are proud that the Commissioner is taking serious action to ensure prejudice is not tolerated in the game,” Adidas said in a statement. Adidas, the world’s second biggest sportswear firm, had suspended the Clippers partnership on Tuesday morning after widespread outrage over recorded comments by Sterling
criticising a woman friend for “associating with black people”. The comments drew outrage from players, fans, politicians and commercial sponsors, several of whom said they were cutting ties with the team, even after the NBA moved to expel Sterling. Adidas does not break down sales by sport but it has just a fraction of the basketball market, which is dominated by U.S. rival Nike.
MADRID, Spain (Reuters) - Spanish police have detained the Villarreal supporter who threw a banana on the pitch near Barcelona defender Daniel Alves on Sunday and charged him with a “breach of fundamental rights and civil liberties”. Images of Alves, a Brazil international, picking up the banana and taking a bite during the La Liga match were beamed around the world and he was widely backed by fellow players and other public figures who denounced the apparent racist taunt. A 26-year-old man was taken into custody on Tuesday evening before being charged and released and would be appearing before a judge at a yet-tobe-determined date, a police spokeswoman said yesterday. Villarreal announced they had given the supporter a life ban but Alves, who has criticised the level of racism in Spain before, felt it was not enough. “If I could, I would put a photo of the fan on the internet so that he would be shamed,” Alves told Brazil’s Radio Globo. “There is racism against foreigners,” he added. “They sell the country as being first world but in certain things they are very backward.” European football has long been blighted by racist incidents involving fans and their leagues criticised for not doing enough to stamp them out.
Daniel Alves eats the banana thrown at him last Sunday.

Ruthless Pollard fails to save Mumbai from PMCC making strides 5th straight loss under new management DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CMC) - A blistering half-century from West Indies allrounder Kieron Pollard brought Mumbai Indians to the brink of victory over Darren Sammy’s Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League yesterday. However, despite Pollard’s clobbering the bowling, his brutality was not enough as Mumbai Indians crashed to a 15-run defeat, their fifth straight loss in the seventh edition of the IPL. Pollard kept alive the Indians’ run chase by powering to 78 in 48 balls and leading an innings that threatened to take the game away from Sunrisers at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. He hit three fours and six sixes and lost his wicket in the final over as the Indians reached 157 for seven chasing Hyderabad’s 172 for five. Hyderabad were buoyed by
excellent knocks from David Warner (65) and KL Rahul (46) to take them to their commanding total after they were in trouble early in the game at 38 for two. Sammy contributed 10 from four balls hitting a six and a four and picked up a wicket for 20 runs. Pollard raised hopes of a victory, smoking one over mid-wicket for a boundary and bludgeoning two massive sixes as the required run-rate touched 12. The big Trinidadian, who received little support, brutalised the bowling of Amit Mishra in particular as 27 runs came off one of his overs allowing Mumbai to wrest the initiative for the first time in the game He was in full cry against the leg-spinner hitting his overpitched deliveries in the upper tier of the stands and creaming two quicker ones down the ground for another six and a boundary that left

every fielder unmoved. Five of his six sixes came off Mishra who ended with 0 for 54. With Mumbai needing 20 of the last over Pollard was yorked by Irfan Pathan, playing across the line and getting an inside edge onto the stumps. The final deliveries leaked
only four runs giving Hyderabad their second win of IPL 2014 and inflicting Mumbai with their fifth straight defeat. The defeat means that Mumbai Indians now need to win most of the nine matches in the Indian leg to make it to the knockout stage of the tournament.

Agricola Red Triangle cantered back into the lead with a tight 2-1 win over Mocha Champs while Soesdyke Falcons were in a no-nonsense mood when they hammered Kuru Kururu Warriors 5-0. In recording victory, Soesdyke Falcons overtook the Warriors on the points
table by virtue of a better goal difference. Netting for the Falcons were Roger Dey and Colin Holder with a pair of goals each, John Gordon scored the other. Converting both goals for Agricola Red Triangle was Travis Grant; Mocha’s consolation effort came of the boot of Troy Griffith.
UNDER new management, who has so far organised two successful fund-raising events, the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC) has continued to make strides with its developmental drive on and off the field of play in the Ancient County of Berbice. Last Sunday, the PMCC faced their neighbours in the much-fancied Rose Hall Town Bakewell second division lineup at the PMCC ground, wherein skipper Lloydel Lewis, Joshua Ramsammy and Arif Chan, who are all former members of the RHT Bakewell lineup, starred for the victorious PMCC unit. Batting first in the Berbice Cricket Board/ New Building Societysponsored tournament, PMCC scored 251 for 7 off their 40 overs, with Lewis top-scoring with 64 (4x4) and receiving ample support from Ramsammy 52 (7x4), Chan 44 (4x4) and Dimitri Cameron, whose 34 was decorated with six fours. They were the principal scorers for the home team, as Troy Matheison took 2 for 43 for RHT Bakewell, who in their turn at the wicket were bowled out for 144 from 29.4 overs, with West Indies female player Shemaine Campbelle topscoring with 37 (5x4) and Ravi Narine supporting her with 21 that included two sixes. Cameron, who was recently named in the Berbice Under-19 squad to compete in this year’s Guyana Cricket Board Under-19 tournament, led PMCC bowling with 4 for 19 and got valuable support from Ramsammy who took 4 for 29, as the home team won by a mammoth 107 runs. The previous Sunday, PMCC travelled to the Whim Community Centre and played the home team in another BCB/NBS fixture, in which they came away with a one-run win, thanks to an all-round performance from Lewis. Batting first, PMCC posted 150 before being bowled out off 36 overs, thanks to Mahendra Ramdial 33 and 27 from Lewis,
while Extras contributed a healthy 34. D. Venkiah took 3 for 36 for Whim, who in reply were bowled out for 149 from 30.5 overs, with T. Harrinarine and V. Sookshine leading the way with 30 and 24 respectively, as Lewis took 4 for 31 and got support from Anil Chattergoon, Collis Greene and Ramsammy who took 2 wickets each for 9, 15 and 21 runs respectively. In their BCB/Memorex Under-17 contest against RHT Bakewell Under-17 team last Saturday, PMCC lost on first innings after churning out a creditable performance, led by Javid Seecharran and Vivekanand Jagit. PMCC batted first and were bowled out for 158, with Seecharran, who, along with his younger brother Emmanuel (10) is a former member of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, top-scoring with 42, even as Samaroo made 36 and Haresh Jaipaul 25. B. Persaud took 3 for 52 for RHT Bakewell and A. Khan 2 for 10, before Khan returned with the bat to stroke 49, which was backed by 30 from K. Anderson and 21 from Persaud as RHT Bakewell reached 164 for 7 in reply, despite Jagit’s 5 for 47 and Jamal Lancaster’s 2 for 17 for PMCC. Jagit had earlier taken 5 for 17, along with Samaroo’s 2 for 7 and Joshua Beharry’s 2 for 8 to help PMCC dismiss Sand Reef for 61 in their first innings in their BCB/Memorex Unddr-17 contest the previous day, before they faced RHT Bakewell. PMCC, in reply, posted 166 for 2 off 33 overs, thanks to unbeaten scores of 65 and 59 from Jaipaul and Samaroo respectively, which, with a lead of 105, saw them bowl out Sand Reef for 62 in their second innings. Jagit again was the chief destroyer with 5 for 30 that handed him match figures of 10 for 47, while Ezekiel Kempadoo and Samaroo took 2 wickets each for 4 and 22 runs respectively, to complete a handsome win by an innings and 43 runs for PMCC.

BANKS DIH/LINDEN ‘GUINNESS GREATEST OF DE STREETS’
Cherokee Park needle Classic Six out of tournament … FOUR PLAYERS HIT DOUBLE STRIKES
By Calvin Roberts THANKS to Eldon Saul’s solitary strike in the 12th minute, Cherokee Park were able to hand Classic Six their expulsion orders out of this year’s third annual Banks DIH/Linden ‘Guinness Greatest of de Streets’ Futsal football tournament, at last Tuesday’s opening night. The action took place at the Mackenzie Car Park, where a very supportive crowd witnessed seven exciting matchups in which four players got double strikes for their team, even as Main Street Panthers were a no-show for their contest against Unity. Banks DIH’s Guinness brand manager Lee Baptiste and other members of the sponsor’s management family including Outdoor Events manager Mortimer Stewart, witnessed the
night’s event, with Baptiste doing the ceremonial kick-off for the first game between Classic Six and Cherokee Park. This contest was a humdinger and certainly set the tone for the rest of the night, as both teams went in search of this year’s first goal throughout the first 10 minutes of play. However, when nerves settled, it was Saul who drilled home his shot from amidst a sea of players, to hand Cherokee Park the lead and later the win. In the second game of the night, Ezekiel Daw (8th) and Oral Peters (12th) were the men on target for the diligent Blueberry Gunners, who came away with a 2-1 victory over the hardworking Porkerburg outfit, for whom Brian Tanner found the back of the net. Dwayne Fraser registered

the first double in this year’s tournament, doing so in the 8th and 16th minutes of play for One Mile/Half Mile, which, when coupled with Keon Sears opening goal that was scored in the 4th minute, handed his team a 3-0 win over Goal Getters.
The fourth and final game before the Guinness 30-minute break was contested between Scheme and Wisroc, and the fans saw Andre Chester emulate Dwayne Fraser with a double of his own in the 8th and 20th minute, while
included 15 fours and two sixes which propped up the Jamaican second-innings score of 200. “It’s a big achievement for me because it was my first hundred,” declared Blackwood, who represented Jamaica in regional Under-19 competition. “This one is for my family and friends back home and all the players who had confidence in me that I can do it and I went out there and did it.” The promising Jamaican middle-order batsman was also one of the key architects
of his team’s huge firstinnings score of 392 falling four runs short of a century. “I believe in my ability and I know what I can do and what I am capable of. I got out in the first innings playing a careless shot,” Blackwood admitted. “I know once I went out in the second innings and bat sometime, play each ball on its merit, I will certainly get the hundred. As you can see I went out there and put in the work and the hundred came so I thank God for that”. Blackwood, who has been prolific at the Gros-Islet playing field, says he has
his sibling Al Chester got a solitary strike in the 6th minute, handing Scheme a 3-2 win. However, it was not an easy ride for the Scheme boys, as Orande Wills, who also scored a double, was the first player to register a goal in the contest, doing so in the 4th minute, before Al Chester negated his strike and Andre Chester handed Scheme the lead. Wills got his second in the 14th minute to level the scoreline in a matchup that had the fans’ eyes moving left to right, based on the see-saw action, before Andre Chester sealed the win by completing his brace just before the final whistle. Following a break in the action, Troy Nelson registered the third brace for the opening night, doing so for Minibus in the 6th and 14th minutes, to guide them to a 2-1 win over the
much-fancied Aliku lineup, for which Ryan Fraser scored a consolation goal in the dying stages of the fixture. After Unity got the walkover, Corlic Beckles became the fourth player to score a double, doing so in the 4th and 8th minutes, while his teammate Jermaine Saul scored in the 18th minute, as Constab showed Exodus the exit with a 3-0 win, while The Amazing completed the night’s action with their 2-1 penalty kicks win over Coomacka. The tournament, which has at stake one year’s bragging rights, a place in the national playoffs and $400 000 first prize, continued with eight more first-round matches last night, while tonight the round of 16 will be contested at the New Silvercity Secondary School.
Blackwood revels in maiden century milestone GROS-ISLET, St Lucia, (CMC) Emerging Jamaican batsman Jermaine Blackwood has described as a “big achievement” his maiden first-class hundred which helped Jamaica earn the coveted Headley/Weekes Trophy. Blackwood, 22, scored 118 as Jamaica took first innings from Windward Islands to secure the trophy on the last day of the Regional FourDay final at the Beausejour Cricket Field on Tuesday. His second-innings knock

Mumbai calls up Simmons
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,(CMC)-Mumbai Indians have signed West Indies opener Lendl Simmons in an effort to rekindle their struggling campaign in the 2014 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The IPL technical committee approved Simmons as a replacement for Jalaj Saxena who has been ruled out of the season after sustaining a finger injury in his right hand during a training session. Simmons, who has played close to 100 international
matches for West Indies, had a stellar season with Guyana Amazon Warriors in last year’s inaugural Caribbean Premier League.
He emerged as the team’s highest run-getter with 263 runs, from nine matches, to power them into the final
which they eventually lost against Jamaica Tallawahs. Simmons joins fellow T&T player Kieron Pollard on the Mumbai line-up. They have lost all their matches so far in the competition and are rooted at the bottom of the IPL table.
been achieving targets for the season. “I set myself some targets before I came in. I set myself to make 500 runs for the first class season and as you can see I surpass that and that is a good achievement,” said Blackwood who scored
a double century at the Gross Islet playing field representing Jamaica in regional Under-19 cricket. “I should have gotten more centuries. I have to work harder next season and hopefully I can get more centuries.”

MCYS Swimming Camp comes to a close THE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS)sponsored annual Easter Swimming Camp which was held at the Colgrain Swimming Pool came to a close yesterday, with a closing ceremony attended by the Director of Sport Neil Kumar and MCYS Permanent Secretary, Alfred King. The camp which was held over the past three weeks beginning April 14, catered to some 76 young participants between the ages of 6 and 11 years. Organisers expected 60 students but the number grew to 76, as the camp continues to progress and grow in popularity, Natalie Cummings, Director of the Pool, said yesterday. In addressing the audience, which included the participants and their parents, King pointed out that the initiative of the camp was to demonstrate that the Ministry is not only concerned with ensuring that facilities are put in place for the development of sports in Guyana but they also look at the need to augment the infrastructure with proper coaching and programmes to develop the skills in the athletes. He further noted that the dynamic nature of swimming makes it beneficial, given that it can be used by other athletes as well because it is a sport that
exercises the entire body. In his address Kumar pointed out that the camp is a great starting-point for the youngsters who may one day go on to represent Guyana at the national level at events outside of the country. “This programme is to introduce the very young to swimming; it can also give them the foundation to prepare to participate in the InterGuiana Games and CARIFTA (Swimming Championships] and so on. From here we are hoping that the children can qualify to go and swim at the aquatic centre. I am very confident that by then the warm-up pool will be finished and we will be able to have a better facility for the children,” Kumar said yesterday. The Ministry is hoping to host another such camp later this year during the August vacation. The camp was headed by Cuban coach Isabel Cuoso Fals, who has been working in Guyana for the past year as a coach attached to the Ministry. Other instructors in the programme included instructors Marcia Rodrigues and Marissa Wray. The participants attended sessions three days a week. In expressing gratitude, one parent pointed out how beneficial the camp was for
Coach Bennett heaps praise on Jamaica’s performance GROS ISLET, St. Lucia, (CMC)- Jamaica’s longstanding coach Junior Bennett says he is delighted with his team’s performance to win the Headley/Weekes Trophy after they outplayed Windward Islands in the Final at Beausejour Cricket Ground on Tuesday. Jamaica took first innings points from Windwards to end with eight points, two batting points, three from bowling and three points from the drawn match. Windwards got five points, a bowling point , a batting point and three for the draw. “I am definitely elated that we have won another four day title,” said Bennet. “Once you bat five sessions in a four day game you definitely setup that match. So I have to give credit to the guys for batting over five sessions”. Bennett said he was especially pleased with the
performances of his young batsmen and rookie legspinner Damion Jacobs. Jermaine Blackwood made 94 and 118 to take home the Man-of-the-Match Award, while Jacobs took an eightwicket haul to dismiss the home side in the first innings. “What we are definitely happy about is that the team is in transition right now we have a lot of youngsters in the team for them to really come here settle down and play some good consistent cricket,” said Bennet. “We struggled a lot in terms of our batting it was a bit inconsistent throughout the entire tournament. But we have to be patient with these youngsters. They are not the nucleus of Jamaica batting and to see them really come into the finals and batted over five sessions we are happy about it”.
the children and implored that opportunities be made available for the children to continue to develop the skills they gained from this initiative. Those in attendance were also treated to a demonstrative presentation where some of the children displayed what they had learnt over the past few weeks.

Stiff Barbados Football Association penalty
THE Barbados Football Association (BFA) has sent a strong message that violence on the field or any form of indiscipline will not be tolerated. Brothers Diquan Adamson and Rushan Adamson and former national defender Andre Daniel have been banned by the BFA’s disciplinary committee for two years after being found guilty of violent conduct. The three Gall Hill footballers have paid the price for their part in a fight during a Digicel Premier League match against Silver Sands at the National Stadium on April 20. The suspensions, which will take effect immediately and will run until April 30, 2016, were handed down after the three attended a hearing with the disciplinary committee last Thursday. As a result, they won’t be able to participate in any football controlled by the BFA during the period of their suspension.
