POWER is a heady thing; it can subvert the best of intentions; and against incontrovertible evidence and intractable, self-serving positions taken by the PNC/APNU/AFC, stakeholders and well-wishers in and of Guyana are hoping that the combined opposition have the best intentions of putting the nation first and will support the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, even if in a last-minute effort to save this country from the dire consequences of non-compliance with the strictures of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is based in Paris, France.

Belize Opposition Leader, Francis Fonseca has taken the high road and, in a graceful gesture of co-operation for the national good, Belize parliamentarians, quoting from a newspaper in that country, “... gave rare bipartisan support to a raft of legislation in the National Assembly this week, as the country tries to avert major financial sanctions already being felt by our sister Caribbean country, Guyana. This follows a call last November by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to its members to ‘consider implementing counter measures to protect their financial systems from the ongoing money laundering and terrorist financing risks emanating’ from Belize and Guyana...

Belize Opposition Leader Francis Fonseca said that the laws would inevitably lead to the complete undermining of the offshore industry in Belize—which is perhaps what is intended....

Fonseca said that this is the reality of life in 2014: “We can complain, but we have to comply.”

Noting Opposition resistance against the legislative changes in Guyana, Prime Minister Dean Barrow went on to thank Belize’s Opposition for supporting the bills: “I certainly appreciate, in any case, the sense of realism that the Opposition is displaying and their support of the measures…” The report continued “In speaking of the legislation Wednesday, Prime Minister Dean Barrow, Minister of Finance and Economic Development, said the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is meeting on Monday, February 10, in Paris; and on the agenda is the subject of the possible blacklisting of Belize and Guyana.”

A gridlock between Guyana’s Opposition and Government has meant that they were unable to get their legislative measures passed last November, when the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill was defeated; but the bill has since been taken back to parliament, given the huge national implications with which they will have to contend.

The private sector community and a large group of civil society members of Guyana are calling on the Opposition to let the bill go through on Monday, warning of the dire consequences for Guyana, which exports primary products such as sugar, rice, gold, diamonds, and bauxite. Of note is that Guyana is also the home of the CARICOM Secretariat.

Guyana’s Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira has said that the level of remittances has been dwindling, as there has been increased scrutiny of persons sending money to the country. She said that due to the additional scrutiny now in place, people sending money will be asked by banks to pay additional fees – that is how ordinary people will be affected.

However, as for business and government foreign transactions, such as the purchase of goods and services, the private sector in Guyana is now screaming that they are now being asked by banks to fill out an inordinate amount of paperwork for

overseas purchase of equipment—which has caused setbacks in the productive sector.

However, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) frontbencher, Joseph Harmon said in a media report last Tuesday that some of the measures in the current Anti-Money Laundering & Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill saw the possibility of rights related to searches and seizures being violated. He added that the “even more draconian measures” in place would be a threat to certain liberties.

But Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, rejected the negative characterisation of the AML/ CFT Bill, and said, inter alia: “Money laundering, the proceeds of crime and terrorism, the mischief which the bill addresses, are extraordinary criminal conduct which has had extraordinary impact on every part of the world where they manifest themselves.

They have led to the deaths of thousands and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

“Therefore, such extraordinary ills require extraordinary laws and penalties to tackle them. That is the philosophy which inspires and informs this legislation,” the Attorney General stated.

“This piece of legislation is part of the laws of the entire Caribbean and in most countries of the English-speaking Commonwealth. We are doing nothing new and novel in Guyana by promulgating this bill,” the AG stressed.

The APNU Member of Parliament (MP) claimed that Nandlall “would have been bandying the idea that the amendments were prepared by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF)”, and as such there were no sessions with stakeholders, such as the Bankers Association, to find out how it would affect them.

But the AG responded, “Mr. Harmon is absolutely wrong in his contentions that the AML/CFT was prepared by the CFATF, and that there was no consultation with stakeholders.

“Firstly, the bill was never prepared by CFATF. The bill was crafted by us in Guyana, based upon recommendations made by CFATF to Guyana in their effort to correct certain deficiencies which they identified existed in the legal architecture of our AML/CFT regime.”

The private sector, the banking sector, the manufacturing sector, the diplomatic community – stakeholders from all walks of life, including supporters of the APNU/AFC combo, have urged the joint opposition to support the bill in the national interest, with no success so far; and with an ever-looming deadline.

The Attorney General made it clear that the principal act spent over two years in a Special Select Committee – meetings that were attended by stakeholders who made contributions.

He said, “You will recall (that) since March 2013, when the bill was first laid in the National Assembly, the Opposition claimed that they have a contribution to make to this bill, and that they want a “good bill”. Well, this bill has been in the National Assembly for the last 11 months. It was debated more than two times on the floor of the National Assembly.

It spent several months in two select committees. During all of this, the nation is yet to hear what contributions the Opposition wishes to make to this bill.”

The National Assembly meets tomorrow Monday, February 10, and MPs are expected to consider the report of the Parliamentary Select Committee reviewing the AML/CFT Bill, as well as the bill itself for passage.

On Thursday, February 13, the France-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is expected to meet, at which time Guyana could qualify for the International Cooperation Review Group’s (ICRG) evaluation.

Veteran pilot Mike Charles - proud owner of National Flag that went to the moon

By Clifford Stanley

IN popular talk “bragging rights” are the rights granted to a person that allow the said person to boast on themselves to a certain extent without being looked down on for it.

Bragging rights may be granted to a person for (but not limited to) an amazing achievement.

National awardee and Veteran helicopter Pilot Mike Charles can say he is a Guyanese who is eminently qualified to be granted bragging rights this week and possibly for a long time to come.

Mike Charles last week became the proud owner of a rare artifact- a tiny 4”x6” flag of Guyana which made a trip to the moon in the 1970s hey- days of the Apollo space missions.

The specific date was July 26, 1971. The occasion was the fourth landing on the moon of the Apollo spacecraft carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

It will be recalled that the first historic landing on the moon by humans took place on July 20, 1969.

The spaceship was Apollo 11 and the crew comprised Neil Armstrong, Commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot.

That Mission took with them to the moon the flags of 135 countries including Guyana.

In 1970 President Richard Nixon gave Apollo 11 lunar sample displays consisting of four rice-sized dust particle specimens (dubbed moon rock) and the flags which went to the moon to their respective countries. Guyana’s moon rocks and the first flag are currently on display at the National Museum.

The crew members of Apollo 15 spacecraft which landed on the moon on July 26, 1971 two years later were Alfred M. Worden, David R. Scott, and James B. Irwin.

This Golden Arrowhead, along with those of several other countries, was taken to the moon by the Command Module Pilot (CMP) Alfred M. Worden in a journey that took 295.2 hours and spanned 1.4 million miles.

The flag of necessity very small because of the importance of

space for such a long journey remained with the crew of Apollo 15 on the moon’s surface for a period of three weeks until the mission ended on August 17th 1971.

A year later, Apollo 17, the sixth landing of humans on the Moon was the final mission of the United States Apollo lunar landing programme. No human has set foot on the moon since then.

On February 2, 2014, some 43 years after the Guyana flag was taken to the moon on Apollo 15, it finally returned home. Mike Charles describes himself as an outer space fanatic i.e: someone who A proud Mike Charles with the Golden Arrowhead that went to the moon

is intensely fascinated with what happens in outer space.

In 1985 while on training as an aeroplane and helicopter pilot in Florida USA, he slipped on a wristwatch worn to the moon by American Astronaut Charles P Conrad. He kept it on for a few intoxicating moments before handing it back to the owner, the astronaut’s son. He also visited the Kennedy Space centre (KSC) in Florida 1985 and 1999 and plans to revisit KSC later this year. KSC is an amazing technologically advanced complex to visit he noted.

Nowadays, as a hobby he spends time at nights gazing at stars with his explore scientific telescope and trying to keep track of as he puts it, of the “incredibly swift” movements of the moon.

He also keeps track of space missions and explorations via television, internet and related documentaries, he says avidly. The flag he now owns had been part of Astronaut Al Worden’s collection.

He said that he learnt about the flag recently on the internet while researching Guyana flag patches for his flight suit. He didn’t waste time. He said: “I started making telephone calls to all my relatives both in Guyana and the United States like hell. I said to them look this is an opportunity for us to own a piece of history. Let’s buy it.

They agreed.”

He said: “I went to the United States on Friday January 31 bought the flag Saturday February 1 and flew back home to Guyana with it on Sunday February 2. “ In addition to the flag he obtained a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Alfred M Worden dated June 18, 2010 which

APNU parroting other stakeholders’ concerns on AMLCFT bill-AG

AS another deadline looms for the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering Bill, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) is still to reveal their proposed amendments which they deem as necessary for the support of this critical piece of legislation.

Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General (AG), Anil Nandlall said that the party’s most recent input, at the level of the select committee, has been to echo the contributions of other stakeholders.

Repeatedly, APNU’s Leader, Mr David Granger and several members of the party have said, in the newspapers and in the electronic media, that they want a comprehensive bill that will benefit and protect the Guyanese people. The AG was at the time speaking on the programme “The Conversation’ aired on the National Communications Network, recently.

“This is a very idealistic and very commendable position to have except that you cannot get such a bill without making a contribution, if you believe that which is being presented does not capture the sentiments that you would like to see in such a bill,” the minister pointed out.

He noted that it has been 11

months since he presented the bill to the National Assembly, and it has since been debated twice and sent to two different select committees, in which, the Opposition enjoyed a majority, in terms of membership.

“I am yet to see a piece of paper which contains any recommendations, any suggestions, any proposed amendment to this bill emanating from any of the opposition parties,” Nandlall said.

Indeed the Alliance For Change (AFC) in all fairness has made their position clear from the earliest. They have said, unequivocally that they do not have a problem with the bill, that they will support the bill on certain conditions.

“The APNU on the other hand keeps saying, expressing these idyllist sentiments and expectations that they want a comprehensive bill,” he said, but haven’t put forward any suggestions of their own.

“The other day, Mr. Jaipaul Sharma made a contribution.

He argued in the committee that the bill was wrongly numbered and I conceded that the draft person made a mistake in numbering the bill so we corrected the numbering,” he said. The minister said this is the only

contribution he can recall being put forward from an APNU member in the select committee with regards to their own views.

He said however, the party has

contains Worden’s words: “To whom it may concern. I hereby certify that this flag of Guyana went to the moon aboard Apollo 15 in the spacecraft “ENDEAVOUR”. It remained in the command module during the lunar orbit phase of the flight.”

There is a note in cursive writing on the flag itself stating: “Flown to the moon on Apollo 15; Al Worden CMP. Charles declined to say the exact amount paid for the artifact. He confined himself to saying that it cost a substantial amount in United States dollars.

Generally people collect rare items for a variety of reasons most of them psychological; most reasons seeming to have little value beyond the sentiment of the collector. Some people collect to remember, perhaps the “good old days”; an old romance; some collect because of a basic interest in the topic.

Some ‘way out’ people collect as a kind of worship. They do it because they experience the kind of sensory transcendence that people most closely associate with religion or love. These people will not sell. But quite a few collect for money and profit because they know that there are some people, who will pay enormous amounts of money for what others may consider as trivia. The 1856 one-cent “Black on Magenta” postage stamp of British Guiana is the rarest postage stamp in the world.

An odd looking snippet, rectangular shaped and printed on magenta paper with the corners snipped off, really to the uninitiated, not much to look at.

But in 1970 collectors Robert Siegel Galleries in USA sold the 1856 one-cent-”Black on Magenta to Irwin Weinberg and a group of investors from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania USA for US $240,000.

Irwin Weinberg and his group of investors from Wilkes

Barre, kept the 1856 one-cent “Black on Magenta” of British Guiana, in their collection for ten years then sold it to John E. du Pont of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for US $935,000.

Charles vows to keep the tiny Guyana flag flown to the in the family.

Wouldn’t he donate it to the national museum then?

He said: “Nah! In the museum not many people might get to see it. I am keeping it. I am a pilot. I am going to take it everywhere I fly or everywhere I go including the hinterland so that every possible Guyanese, in schools in villages everywhere I go to, can look at it.”

repeatedly is commenting on someone’s contribution to the bill,” he said. “For example, Mr. (Joe) Harmon spoke about the bankers’ concern and Mr. (Basil) Williams would have spoken about the Bar Association’s concern, but we are not hearing what their concerns are,” he said.

“Their original concerns, with respect of the bill, must be one of the greatest guarded secrets in this country because they know about it and they seem to be refusing to share it with anyone else,” he said.

One concern has been that the bill is draconian, which is harsh and oppressive in its provision. The minister said that he is not in sympathy with that position, since the bill is intended to be draconian. “You are dealing with crimes that are of an exceptional nature ...the impact of these crimes on society has been devastating, they have actually led to the death of thousands of people...you have to get draconian measures to meet and to combat these crimes and this is what this bill seeks to do, that is the philosophy and that is the sentiment which inspired this bill,” he said.

“So when you go through the provisions, you will see on the face something that appears to authorise a functionary named in the bill to enter your premises and search it and seize material from it, but I said elsewhere, a hundred years ago, or more we gave those powers to police officers, to tax officers, to customs officer, to National Insurance Scheme (NIS) officers and recently we give those powers to the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) officers. What we are simply doing here is giving these powers to a new set of officers to deal with a new set of problems, which are recognised internationally as creating and

wreaking havoc on countries and society,” he said.

In crafting the bill, great care was taken to pacify what he considered to be extraordinary harsh provisions. “For example, the fine regime in the bill, the recommendation came in US$ for the fine to be imposed, when I calculated them in Guyana dollars they translated into $5M. Now those are fines that are totally out of sync with the regime of fines which are in the exempt laws of Guyana.

I tried to refine them and to reduce them, and on several occasions, I was successful, but on many occasions they (CFATF-Caribbean Financial Action Task Force) rejected my proposal on the ground that I am making the fines less stringent than originally proposed that they would no longer be dissuasive,” he said.

Another aspect of the recommendation which the minister said that he refined had to deal with residing of power. He explained that originally a set of power was to be exercised by him (the AG), being one of

the main mover in the bill. This includes the power to instantaneously freeze or cause a person’s account in a commercial bank to be frozen.

“I rejected that, I said no officer in an executive government should be resided with such plenitude and amplitude of power because it can be subject to and it is liable to abuse. I prefer to divert that power away from the executive and place it in the judiciary,” he said. He said that he amended that recommendation to say that the AG must instead approach a judge for an order to freeze a particular account.

Government did not conjure up these amendments pertaining to the bill; these are amendments that were recommended to Government by a governing body to guard against the crimes relating to anti-money laundering. The fact that Guyana is the last country now to implement these measures is why the country is at present blacklisted by Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF).

Mexico vigilantes enter Knights Templar cartel stronghold (BBC News) Vigilante groups in the troubled Mexican state of Michoacan have entered a stronghold of the Knights Templar drug cartel, occupying the main square.

Hundreds of vigilantes, backed up by armoured vehicles and troops, arrived in Apatzingan on Saturday.

They have also set up roadblocks around the city, in western Mexico.

The cartel controls much of the drug trafficking in the area and is known to extort money from local farmers and businesses.

Vigilante leaders, who have joined the official security forces, and the army say they will begin searching house by house for the leaders of the Knights Templar.

Persad-Bissessar’s reminder came on the heels of startling statistics revealed by Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh in the Senate on Tuesday where he stated there are over 2,500 teen pregnancies each year with most of them for fathers in the 25-to40-year age group.

Persad-Bissessar said, according to the law any sexual act against an unmarried child under the age of 16 is considered rape.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 9, 2014

EDITORIAL

ON CRIME, CRIMINALS, CORRUPTION, AND THE AML/CFT BILL TOMORROW is D-Day for the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Bill. If the Bill is not passed then, the consequences will submerge Guyana’s social development and economic growth almost right back to the subterranean levels of PNC (non) developmental paradigm; and every Guyanese, even supporters of the PNC/AFC/APNU coalition would begin to inexorably, gradually lose all the gains they have made in the upward trajectory of their lives and livings under the PPP/C Government administration.

But one wonders why, despite all the adjurations, the pleas, the looming threat to the nation, the joint opposition remains adamant and inflexible in its non-support of this vital bill; or is there going to be a last-minute change of mind as a result of the relentless pillorying they have been receiving from all stakeholders in the land? If not, one wonders whose vested interests they are protecting.

The Kaieteur news article attributing comments to Joseph Harmon, M.P., in relation to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Bill has its genesis in the PNC’s well-documented forays in the grey and even black areas of the criminal underworld; and a plethora of evidence exists to validate this observation. However, a picture of its elections candidate with a bucket at the government gas station as Regent Street and the businesses, lives and livelihoods of hundreds of Guyanese went up in flames; PNC parliamentarian Abdul Kadir – guns strapped all over his body now serving time in a US prison for terrorist activities; and former PNC President Desmond Hoyte presiding over the funeral of that party’s hero, Linden “Blackie” London – notorious thief, rapist and murder will suffice for the purposes of this editorial. To document their activities in this sphere of their political history will take volumes that will fill Parliament Building.

Individually and collectively members of the joint opposition together have a formidable reputation for lawless transactions, positions, and actions, and the primary one of extant times is their constant contempt of the rulings of Guyana’s courts, presided over and adjudicated by Chief Justice, Ian Chang, mainly anent their relentless cutting of the nation’s annual budgetary allocations, which does not fall within their mandated rights or responsibilities, according to the laws of the land, which they continue to flout with impunity.

In Guyanese parlance “When a dog is accustomed to suck eggs it cannot stop”, so forays in criminal activities is accelerating in these quarters; and so one can understand their intractable position of non-support of the AML/CFT BILL, with all its implications for this country – the welfare of which has never been of primary consideration for them anyway.

I quote from a letter sent by a member of the public to the Chronicle: “Fearful of the consequences of its own non-support for the Bill, the opposition is being driven to all sorts of machinations.

Harmon, by his public utterances, has introduced the possibility of PNC/APNU utilising its well-established brand of violence and intimidation as desperation mounts on its part.

“The stinging condemnation by a majority of Guyanese over APNU/AFC’s non-support for the passage of this a Bill is indeed having a negative impact on the psyche of the opposition.

“The territory of violence, criminality and intimidation rightly belongs to the PNC/APNU as history would have recorded repeated episodes of violent incidents under that party’s directorship, as recent as the Linden (and Agricola) unrest in 2012.” Here could be added, latterly in equal partnership with the AFC. The letter-writer concluded “Could it be that the opposition is using Harmon to signal those in its rank and file to be the first to instigate violence as the means of diverting attention from the opposition gloom and doom blow moment?”

Joe Harmon’s contentions have of course been given full prominence in the infamous ‘Kaieteur News’, and one need not wonder at the vindictive, anti-government slant of reporting that tabloid practices, because the Editor-in-Chief was born out of the belly of the PNC beast as editor of the PNC organ, the ‘New Nation’, and that has not changed, despite the name and ownership of the new PNC organ, with absolute support also for the partners in the APNU/ AFC configuration.

The opposition cabal, including some media houses, continually attack the President and other government functionaries on misrepresentation and/or distortion of facts, and even outright lies; which Adam Harris – challenged by Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh, admitted on Channel 11 during a live debate on corruption; but if they refute the allegations levelled against them, no matter how blatantly untrue, then those very media houses and opposition elements cry foul, denying the President and others within the administration their fundamental and inalienable constitutional rights to freedom of expression, which are guaranteed to every citizen in the land, which the opposition collective

and their satellites in and out of the media practice in full measure.

The progress and level of development in Guyana under the PPP/C watch has been phenomenal, superseding in some instances achievements by even some first world economies; and currently the humane President of the most powerful nation on earth is fighting for what little Guyana has long achieved – free healthcare for its citizens.

Despite the downsizing of the world’s economy, the crisis has scarcely affected our nation, except for the prices being offered for some of our exports.

This is as a result of good macro-economic fundamentals, with a stable inflation rate.

The Executive Directors of the IMF noted in a report that, despite external shocks and social pressures, the Guyanese authorities have maintained macroeconomic stability in 2008 through the implementation of prudent fiscal and monetary policies.

Subsequent reports by various world bodies have reiterated this; and regionally Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves called Guyana “The only shining star of the Caribbean; but bit by bit, through its parliamentary and extra-parliamentary shenanigans, that star is being slowly but surely dimmed; with the looming threat of a total eclipse if the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Bill is not passed.

But the nitpicking continues; and in the interest of this nation this stone-throwing and spiteful stonewalling of developmental configurations and projects must stop and all must show genuine commitment to collaborative endeavour toward nation-building.

It is the only way we will survive.

Former Private Sector head Gerry Gouveia has said: “We are all in this boat together. We fought for independence and we got it. It is no longer them and us. It is we, together.

“We have to learn the art of agreeing to disagree without burning down the house, the art of compromise and, particularly, the art of really working together in good faith always in the interest of Guyana.”

Passage of the vital bill to prevent Guyana from being blacklisted at world fora is imperative and should receive the support of all the lawmakers of the land – in the interest of Guyana; or else non-support begs the question: Is the opposition protecting the vested interests of and/or receiving support from drug cartels, criminals, terrorists and money launderers?

Statement by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Hon. Mohabir Anil Nandlall in response to Opposition Leader, Hon. David Granger THE Bill which is before the select committee is part of a modern legislation which has been enacted in every country in the English-speaking Caribbean, Commonwealth, and in North America.

In fact, it is because Guyana has not enacted it, that the country is blacklisted. Therefore the powers which this Bill resides in the various officers and entities mentioned in the Bill are similar, if not identical to, that which have been

given to the same officers in like legislation worldwide.

There is no different regime of powers resided in any officer in the Guyana legislation which are not given in similar legislation which is extant in countries across the globe.

In fact, I refined many of the recommendations which came from the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) from which the Bill was coined with a viewed of reducing certain powers which were recommended to reside with Ministers

in the Bill.

For example, in the recommendations the Attorney General, was recommended to have powers to instruct a commercial bank to freeze any account held at that bank which the Attorney General has reasonable suspicion to believe contains proceeds of crime.

I refined that recommendation to say that the Attorney General must apply ex parte to a judge for an order to freeze the account, and must be able to satisfy that judge that he has credible and reasonable basis

to suspect that the account contains proceeds of crime.

I specifically, shifted that power from the Attorney General to a judge, because I believe that the Executive branch of Government should not enjoy such plenitude of power over the citizenry as there would be a likelihood of abuse. So I shifted that power to the Judicial branch of Government.

That is only one instance of several, where I reduced powers which were recommended to be resided in the Executive and I situated in

other organs.

So I reject the notion or allegation made by the Opposition Leader that the Bill resides any unusual amount of power in the Executive or that it is different from legislation of similar type existing elsewhere.

The truth of the matter is that is an unusual Bill that confers exceptional powers on all officers and entities named in the Bill because of the very nature of the Bill.

This Bill came directly out of recommendations of CATF

and is not a creation of the Government. It is intended to advance exceptional remedies to suppress exceptional mischief such as: money laundering, drug trafficking, arms trade and terrorism.

There is no difference between this Bill and legislation have been enacted under AML/CFT international regime as promulgated by virtue of recommendations made by the world body the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Improving Patient Care and Education (Part 2)

By Keith Burrowes DURING a recent hospitalisation overseas, I was subject to a less than pleasant encounter with one of the institution’s nursing staff. One of the stories I grew up reading about is that of the British nurse, Florence Nightingale, the Lady with the Lamp, whose kindness to soldiers injured in war set a standard for nursing to this day.

Maybe, considering my own unfortunate familiarity with hospitals, I’ve a romanticised and hence unrealistic concept of what nursing should be, yet even compensating for that I’ve found that patient care, particularly as practiced by the foot soldiers of the health care system, can be vastly improved.

First of all, there are some professions I believe are callings more than they are careers – teaching, for example, or military service and nursing.

What I’ve found unfortunately, in developed and developing countries alike – even though there may be a difference in the degree of training required for certification – is that there seems to be an attitudinal prob-

lem with health care as delivered by nurses.

In hospitals I’ve visited, whether locally or overseas, there are only a handful of nurses that I’ve encountered that I can say embodied the spirit of the Lady with the Lamp.

Another area of health care that I believe urgent attention is needed is the management of pain. If there is one thing that cuts across persons who have to be subject to in-patient healthcare is some degree or the other of pain, since pain is the body’s natural way of telling us that something is fundamentally wrong. While admittedly I am speaking from a layman’s perspective, I believe that there should be a difference between dealing with incidental pain and dealing with chronic pain – a difference of suppression and management respectively.

What I believe we are lacking, and this is again from a medical layman’s perspective, is a system of pain management. Apart, as I have stated before, from the fact that I was employed in the health sector, the evidence that there is the need for, at the very least, a greater focus on pain management in this country is that the

very term “pain management” is missing from, or under-utilised in, the institutional and medical language here.

At its most basic, what this indicates is a need to identify the management of chronic pain in the treatment of those suffering from whatever manifestation of it. There is nothing I can suggest in this regard that has not been established and institutionalized elsewhere, with pain management specialists, pain management programmes, and pain management centres occupying a vibrant niche in the health sector of various other countries. The establishment of a pain management centre here, with outreach programmes throughout the country would in my estimation be a sound investment in complementing existing health care initiatives in Guyana.

Related to the issue of pain management is that of patient education. For example, potentially addictive painkillers, or potentially addictive regimens of painkiller treatment, should really be the last resort in the treatment of any pain related condition or illness, and whenever the decision is taken it should include comprehensive

patient education about the pros and cons, in addition to extensive psychotherapy throughout the duration of the treatment.

This would save the patient a great deal of pain in the long term, whether actual pain or the psychic trauma that comes with dependency and the attendant stigma attached to it.

Related to this of course would be the issue educating patients about their rights as patients, which presumes of course that those rights are clearly articulated in some inscribed and communicable form. While the concept of patient rights remain the subject of some contention internationally (the US for example unsuccessfully attempted to legislate it in 2001), there are certain common tenets which characterised any such encapsulation, and these are summed up by the World Health Organization in the following paragraph: “There continues to be enormous debate about how best to conceive of this relationship, but there is also growing international consensus that all patients have a fundamental right to privacy, to the con-

Parker continues his anti-government politics I READ a letter in the Stabroek News of Wednesday February 5, 2014 by Carl A Parker under the caption “Lethem needs an increased subvention.” Kindly permit me to state the following in your newspaper: 1. Carl A Parker, an APNU/ PNC activist and Regional Councillor of Region 9 has once again emerged from oblivion to create anti-government mischief in Lethem as he is known for. He will again swiftly speed away to his habitat of gloom and doom.

2. Parker seems to have a problem with the management of the Lethem Power Company Inc. (LMPCI) which has absolutely nothing to do with the rise in electricity tariffs and the inefficiency of the Lethem Power Company’s management as he is mischievously and falsely claiming in the Stabroek News.

3. The problem with Parker which he is hiding is that he is disgruntled over the removal of his PNC/APNU buddies who once controlled, mismanaged and crippled the electricity situation in Lethem prior to the intervention of the Lethem Power Company Inc. This is why Parker and his clique are now grinding their Anti-Government axe against the management of the

Lethem Power Company which is currently doing an excellent Job in terms of effectively managing the power supply system in Lethem and its environs.

4. In relation to the recent increase in electricity tariffs in Lethem, Parker and residents all agreed and signed to the agreement which was posted up at public places in Lethem for all to see. Parker in his political wickedness signed a petition calling for a reduction in electricity tariffs in Lethem.

Some Amerindians signed the petition but were not clear on what they were signing onto.

My information from Lethem is that PNC/APNU Member of Parliament, Sydney Allicock also signed the petition. This is totally anti-government politics in action at Lethem which must be ignored and rejected.

5. So Parker and Sydney Allicock MP of the PNC/APNU are now calling for the reduction of electricity tariffs at Lethem and an increased subvention for the Power Company. But what increase in subvention when the PNC/APNU and AFC chopped the 2012 & 2013 National Budgets? Such an increase in subvention for Lethem’s Power Compa-

ny therefore may be impossible.

6. The PNC/APNU said that the 2014 National Budget will again be chopped. What APNU/PNC Member of Parliament Sydney Allicock can do in this regard if he claims to be concerned about Lethem’s electricity tariffs is to move a motion in Parliament calling on his PNC/APNU party and the AFC not to cut the 2014 National Budget since it will cause suffering to the residents of the Rupununi Region.

FOCUS ON A BAJAN CABINET MINISTER AT ‘WAR’ WITH SELF Analysis by Rickey Singh

AT A season of ferocious criminality, with murders and rapes rocking CARICOM states like Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Guyana, and when politicians and parties across the political divide should be engaged in focusing on practical initiatives to combat the crime epidemic, Barbadians are caught up with the charade of an internal conflict in the governing Democratic Labour Party (DLP).

I say charade because the primary personality at the centre of the current controversy, Dr David Estwick, Minister of Agriculture, seems to be at war with himself. And just when the administration of Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is desperately seeking to resolve a serious lingering fiscal deficit problem that has already led to the start Dr David Estwick of some 3,000 public sector workers being sent home amid efforts to also stave off feared devaluation of the Barbados dollar (50 cents to the USD).

In a multi-party parliamentary democracy it is the norm for MPs and cabinet ministers to face criticisms, at times quite harsh, from political opponents, in addition to the occasional verbal swipes from their own party ranks.

It is, however, a rarity for a senior cabinet minister and politician of long standing, like Dr Estwick, to unwittingly convey to the public the unmistakable impression of being at war with himself.

A consequence, I think of his recurring, puzzling passion to make contradictory public statements about policies and programmes of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) of which he remains a high profile and controversial minister.

As a citizen of Guyana, I long ago became familiar with health

experts’ responses to a so-called ‘foot-and-mouth’ disease affecting beef cattle and other livestock. From that development flowed the teasing rhetoric against politicians who are viewed as suffering from a “foot-in-mouth” problem whenever perceived to have fumbled or stumbled into making self-inflicting statements.

FOOT-IN-MOUTH?

By his own current public utterances and posturings, Dr Estwick would have earned in Guyana the satirical blurb as a ‘foot-inmouth’ politician, with his public strident criticisms of the fiscal and economic policies of the current second-term DLP administration of Prime Minister Stuart.

Classical examples have already been brilliantly captured by the Nation’s popular cartoonist, Guy O’Neil, with his hilarious ‘Willi Worm’ character.

The ABC of party politics should have alerted Dr Estwick to the political consequences of a prepared media statement on January 29 when he waxed warm against his government-specifically on the economic challenges and social consequences facing the nation that he feels required BARBADOS PM better leadership.

FREUNDEL STUART He has also been critical of the fiscal management policies being pursued under the stewardship of Finance Minister, Chris Sinckler.

However, by February 3, within four days of his stern warnings about the faulty policies being pursued by the government, the Daily Nation was reporting with a photograph under the page-one banner headline “HAPPY DEM’ Dr Estwick as declaring at the home of his cabinet colleague and DLP’s General Secretary, Donville Inniss, that he had “no plans to quit.”

Further, that he has “no problems with “Chris” (Sinckler); that he was “a Dem at heart and I am very comfortable…”

Such was the verbal gymnastics of a seasoned politician who had earlier vowed, without any known provocation, to break his silence

Suicide Prevention and Spirituality seminar billed for Wednesday at Port Morant THE New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc. Humanitarian Mission will be hosting a “Let’s Talk Initiative: Suicide Prevention and Spirituality” seminar on Wednesday February 12, 2014 at the Corentyne Comprehensive High School, Port Mourant, Berbice from 11:00 hrs to 13:00 hrs.

This initiative is a collaborative effort among the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security, Region 6 Democratic Council, Regional Education Department of Education, New Amsterdam Hospital Administration, Law Enforcement Officers, Faith Based Organisations, Business Community and Rotary and Lions Clubs. There will be a variety of keynote speakers on the said topic-“Suicide Prevention and Spirituality.”

Additionally, Pandit Suresh Sugrim, President of this international voluntary organisation: Humanitarian Mission of New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc., noted that there will be handouts and flyers on suicide that will be distributed to the audience, to help educate and spread awareness of all aspects on suicide and spirituality.

The New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc, Humanitarian Mission, is a non-profit and cultural organisation which facilitates assistance to people who are in dire need of the basic necessities, such as food, clothing and shelter, and also victims of gender-based violence. Moreover, the social and charitable works are the basic hallmarks of Hinduism and the Arya Samaj movement. Hinduism is not only based on rituals, but teaches the principles of ‘sewa’ (service) to humanity. This organisation of Arya Samaj was established in 1785, by Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati, as a Hindu reform movement with the aim of services to the unfortunate and needy human race, such as orphans, poverty and disaster struck victims, widows that are facing difficulties, domestic abused women and children, irrespective of their ethnic origin and backgrounds.

Guyana was rendered assistance by this organisation in July-August 2005. The New York-based organisation has a branch in Berbice which is managed by Berbice Central Arya Samaj and seeks to assist the children in the orphanages there, as well as countrywide.

Many children benefited from the initial mission receiving basic necessities. The New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc. continues to work diligently as they proceed to help improve Guyana.

on the economic future of Barbados, as it would be wrong for him, he said, to “hold my tongue...”

By this surprising intervention, Dr Estwick may well have already determined his own political future--in or out of government--at a time of deep uncertainties for Prime Minister Stuart’s administration and, of course, the nation of Barbados.

Should Estwick insist on political acrobatics, it could well soon result in either his removal from cabinet, or his volunteered resignation but to sit as a backbencher in the 30-member House of Assembly where the ruling DLP has a majority of just two.

Even if he chooses to sit as an independent MP, or compelled so to do, it means additional political pressures for the government to steer the course towards economic recovery—still far away—amid prevailing tension and uncertainties.

What seems more likely, at the time of writing is that the government may well risk continuing—with or without David Estwick as a DLP parliamentarian. More later.

RAPES BY ‘FATHERS’ Meanwhile, as Jamaicans live uneasily amid horrific cases of murder, with children among the slain and rape victims, the people of Trinidad and Tobago were learning this past week of the chilling revelations about the spreading crime of rape that is resulting in over 2,500 teen pregnancies a year.

More despicable was the disclosure by Education Minister, Tim Gopeesingh that most of the teen pregnancies have resulted from “fathers” in the 25 to 40 years age group. The failure to have the cases exposed means, as Dr Gopeesingh said, the culprits involved are getting away with statutory rape.

A reference was also made to the findings of a research programme by the UWI Faculty of Medical Science which revealed that by age 19 more than 1,000 young women had four children already, education disrupted and faced with survival challenges.

All the pussyfooting, brinkmanship, power play must now end ONE can almost feel the national thermometer rise, as the countdown to another opportunity to legislate the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill beckons. In fact, Guyana’s fate rests, on the crucial weekend meeting between A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) and government members as part of the Select Committee deliberations on what should be tying up the loose ends of the proposals, thus readying the Bill for the next sitting of the National Assembly. All Guyanese want the parliamentary opposition to support this Bill, for what it means for their and country’s welfare.

This is crunch time, because all the “dithering’, as the GMSCA President asserts, all the pussyfooting, brinkmanship,

and power play must now end, for the sole purpose of safeguarding the national integrity, the wellbeing of our citizens and the continued advancement of the nation’s socio-economic development.

It is this crucial meeting that will determine whether both sets of opposition members who sit in Parliament, understand what the national interest is about, and are truly patriotic, caring about their fellow Guyanese.

OBSERVER admits that there is still opposition intransigence to the passage of this legislation, which only purpose is to protect the economic gains of the nation from criminal intrusion.

But there must be no more postponement of this Bill’s

legislation, for there is nothing further that needs to be debated, except to return it to the House for its inevitable passage that will ensure Guyana’s self-respect and credibility.

The opposition must bear in mind, that to be associated with, and because of, one’s country’s economic dissolution is akin to one of the greatest acts of national betrayal. Such must not be its historical legacy in the final chapter on its role in this particular issue.

Let it be written, that it stood tall in defence of its country’s and citizens’ best interests, at its hour of need, and that its nationalistic love won the day. No more or less is asked, or demanded of our parliamentary opposition parties.

Aunt of policeman involved in Colwyn Harding’s matter terrorised at her home

By Michel Outridge

AN aunt of policeman, Devendra Singh, accused of sodomising Colwyn Harding, was terrorised at her Mon Repos home on Friday night by two unknown men.

The aunt, Leila Singh, said she is fearful for her life and that of her family after two men believed to be armed, stormed into her Mon Repos, East Coast of Demerara home on Friday night.

The mother of four told the Guyana Chronicle that it happened at about 18:30 hrs on Friday night during a power outage as she was on the landline telephone talking to her sister.

She said she got up to secure the back door of the upper flat of her house when two men appeared on the verandah.

The woman added that she realised something was about to happen and she ran into the house to the front verandah where her teenage daughter was lying on a bed and managed to shut the door.

The 52-year old woman explained that the men began calling her to come into the house where they were but she refused, after which she climbed onto the verandah and tried to alert to her neighbours by shouting.

Her attempt to attract help failed as a result of loud music being played in the neighbourhood but she telephoned a relative who contacted her husband and he hurried home after which the intruders escaped.

Singh said that while she was on the verandah she knew

that the men were up to some trouble since they kept telling her to get in the house and if she continues to scream they would kill her.

She is certain that the men were not there to rob or take away anything of value since they were in the house for sometime and did not attempt to do so but their presence was to drive fear/harm to her and her family.

The woman said that the men were of African descent and had a bright torchlight and disguised their faces with what appeared to be stockings.

She pointed out that one was slim built while the other was stocky and she believed that the men were armed.

Singh told this publication that the men escaped by running through her neighbour’s unfenced yard at the rear of her property and left in a waiting white Toyota Raum vehicle, which was parked in the back street.

The woman said that she was prepared to jump the verandah with her 16-year-old daughter, which is located in the upper flat of the two-storey

house, if she had to because she did not want to be raped or killed by the men, who invaded her home.

She stated that the men were there for a reason but they did not get through because she refused to adhere to their demands and luckily her husband arrived home after which, the police and members of the Community Policing Group (CPG) responded but by then the men were gone.

It appears as though the house was being monitored by person (s) because after the incident neighbours related that they observed a heavily tinted Toyota IST parked in the back street of the village on Friday afternoon, she explained.

At the time, she was at home with her daughter while, the rest of the family members including her husband and son were out.

Singh said that Devendra Singh, 29, used to reside at her home as he grew up there and she is being targeted because he is under close arrest at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, pending investigations into an allegation made that he physically assaulted and sodomised a detainee at the Timehri Police Station, East Bank of Demerara, in Novem-

ber 2013, when the man was held for break and enter and larceny.

She told the Guyana Chronicle that she does not believe that her relative is capable of such a dastardly act because he is religious, straight forward and is not violent and never displayed any such behaviour.

The food vendor added that since the incident she is tramautised and very afraid that the men may return.

Police at the Beterverwagting Police Station are investigating the incident.

TOURISM MARKETING, INVESTMENT & SERVICE INITIATIVES BEING PROMOTED CARIBBEAN countries will have to up their game, especially in the areas of marketing, investment and service if they are to keep pace with the fastest growing tourism destinations, especially in Asia Pacific and Africa.

CTO officials and Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) Executives will discuss at a special retreat in Miami next month, ways to get buy-in from their members for the long-mooted regional marketing initiative to promote the Caribbean as a single brand.

The CHTA President Richard Doumeng told me they are “nowhere where we hoped we would Minister Irfaan Ally be” on this initiative. He expressed the hope that the unprecedented recent collaboration between CHTA and CTO will continue.

The revamped caribbeantravel.com website, a joint project of the two organisations, under the aegis of the Caribbean Tourism Development Company (CTDC), has been hailed as a huge success.

CTO Secretary General, Hugh Riley has identified this project as one of the significant achievements in 2013. The website, which he considers as a “very impressive” portal available to all member countries, has been delivering traffic.

The CHTA President believes it is time that individual destinations get over their “self-interest” and pool resources to promote the Caribbean brand. The two organisations have been pushing for the programme with a Caribbean brand similar to the 2002 “Life needs the Caribbean” TV campaign.

Recalling that the previous campaign led to a significant increase in business from the U.S, Doumeng said the sustainability of any new marketing programme is critical.

Riley is convinced that Caribbean hoteliers can find cash by selling some of the continually unused room inventory, which he

CTO Secretary General Hugh Riley

CHTA President Richard Doumeng

put at around 30 percent.

Some CTO member states will soon have a reduced financial obligation to the CTO. For the first time in its 25 year history, the organisation has introduced a two-tier membership, which allows member countries to choose which of the organisation’s services they need and can afford.

Tier one members will pay lower fees while tier two countries will be entitled to a larger portfolio of services. The CTO Council of Ministers approved the new membership structure at a recent meeting in Jamaica.

The CHTA President also feels that the impact of tourism on the economies of the Region is “underappreciated” by governments. He thinks it is “pennywise and pound foolish” for Caribbean governments to impose high taxes on the hospitality industry, including increasing room tax and the Value Added

Tax (VAT) .

According to Doumeng, what governments don’t realise, is when they cut tourism budgets, they are affecting a revenue producing SANDRA ANN BAPTISTE sector.

Dougmeng told me 2013 was a “stabilising year” for the hospitality sector. Room occupancy, which was at 66.3 percent in 2012, was about the same or only marginally higher for 2013. The same is anticipated for Average Daily Rate, which was close to US176

The U.S. Virgin Islands hotelier observed that there is a lot of “tired” tourism product in the region that needs to be replaced or upgraded.

I share Doumeng’s view that in addition to much needed investment in airports, new roads, shopping facilities and restaurants, new and decent restroom facilities, which is important to visitors, but often overlooked, can lead to a poor quality travel experience.

Ministries of tourism and tourism agencies should also examine the quality of their own restroom facilities, which both tourists and business visitors sometimes use. Barbados is one

of the tourism destinations where, in addition to the airport and attractions, all the major downtown department stores and restaurants have excellent restroom facilities.

While the CTO Secretary General believes product is “paramount”, he too has stressed time and again that service is just as important.

In this regard, the CTO’s Total Visitor Satisfaction programme has been revamped and rebranded as the Guestpitality programme. Riley feels not enough emphasis is placed on the quality of the visitor experience. As an example, he said, if you are staying in a five star property and receive three star service, this could be a turn off for visitors.

Most CTO Member States recorded small or marginal increases in overall visitor arrivals for 2013 for months reported so far (mostly up to October and November).

Notable exceptions, recording double digit increases were

Guyana (11.7%), Montserrat (38.9%) and Haiti (20%).

The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) said the increase was due to more visitors from across the Caribbean Region, especially from Suriname, Brazil, and Jamaica.

“Destination Guyana continues to receive international acclaim. In November 2013, National Geographic Traveler presented its 2014 must-see places on planet earth and Guyana earned a coveted spot on this exclusive, very short list for the very first time in 2014,” Guyana’s Tourism Minister, Irfaan Ali reported recently.

Antigua and Barbuda (-10.4%), Barbados (-8.7%) and the Bahamas (-6.6%) were among those countries that registered declines in arrivals from the U.S. While many destinations attracted less Canadian visitors, undoubtedly due to the state of the Canadian economy, double digit increases were recorded

by Montserrat (47.9%) Grenada(36.2%), Antigua and Bar-

buda(28.6%) and Belize (11%).

Not surprisingly, most destinations saw a decline in European arrivals. Notable exceptions were the Cayman Islands (+30.1%), Guyana (+12%), Belize(+11.5%) and St. Kitts and Nevis (+9.6%).

The CTO Secretary General is pleased by current news out of the U.S. market, especially bookings from three of the major tour operators.

Riley is also encouraged by the increase in services from U.S. carriers, especially new service from Southwest and expanded service from JetBlue to a number of destinations.

The CTO will keep up the pressure to persuade the British Government to amend the onerous Air Passenger Duty (APD), which has led to a significant fall off in European arrivals for some destinations. The tax will be increased in April from 322 pounds sterling for a family of four travelling in economy class to 340 pounds.

The CTO Secretary General has noted that in this campaign,

the CTO is not a voice crying in the wilderness as the Fair Tax on Flying Campaign, an alliance of over 30 airlines, airports, tour operators, destinations and trade associations have united to call on the Government to make the system of aviation tax in the UK fairer. It is led by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).

For the first time, the CTO will be hosting a tourism investment conference with the aim of increasing the amount

of Canadian business in the Region.

Riley believes the Canadian economy has provided fairly fertile ground for investment in the Caribbean. This event in June, which will be one of the key programmes for ‘Caribbean Week’ in Toronto, will highlight new investment opportunities that exist in the region’s tourism and hospitality sector.

Also high on the agenda is continuing the work of the CTO Aviation Task Force, which has

been a catalyst in getting Caribbean governments to address major regional air transportation issues.

This will be a year of change for the CTO as it is an election year, which will see a new Chairman. As it continues to strive to position the Caribbean as the most desirable, year-round, warm-weather tourism destination, it is anticipating taking to a new level collaboration with the private sector. This augurs well for the major foreign-exchange earning industry. (Sandra Ann Baptiste is a Business Consultant, Writer and Specialist in Caribbean Affairs)

The Magnificent Kerry JOHN Kerry has been US Secretary of State for precisely one year, and he has already 1) rescued President Obama from his ill-considered promise to bomb Syria if it crossed the “red line” and used poison gas; 2) opened serious negotiations with Iran on its alleged attempt to build nuclear weapons; and 3) taken on the job of brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.

Getting Obama off the hook was useful, and may yet lead to the US ending its support for the insurgency in Syria, which at this point would probably be the least bad outcome.

Opening negotiations with Iran was long overdue, and makes the nightmare prospect of an American or a joint US-Israeli air attack on Iran daily less likely. But even King Solomon and Avicenna (Ibn Sina), sitting jointly in judgement on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, could not broker a peace accord there.

Kerry is indefatigable. He has been to Israel/Palestine eleven times in the past year, and spent as much as a hun-

dred hours face to face with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas or their close advisers. Unlike all the previous “brokers”, he has been astound-

all the odds were enough, Kerry would be the man who finally made it happen. (Israeli Defence Minister, Moshe Yaalon recently complained that his approach is “obsessive and messianic.”)

ingly discreet: not a hint of what has been said in private has leaked into the public domain.

And yet there is almost no hope of a real peace deal.

If persistence in the face of

But Kerry has no leverage: he has to rely on the desire of the two leaders to make the “peace process” work, and it just isn’t there; not, at least, on any terms that both would find acceptable.

The list of deal-breakers includes almost every topic under discussion: the borders of a Palestinian state, the future of the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, whether Je-

MAHMOUD ABBAS rusalem can be the joint capital of Israel and Palestine, whether Israel can maintain a military presence in the Jordan Valley, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral homes, and Israel’s demand that the Palestinians recognise it as an explicitly Jewish state.

This last demand, which was only raised in the past couple of years, seems deliberately designed to be unacceptable to the Palestinians. Not only are they required to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Israeli state (which they have already done), but also to give their blessing to the ethnic and religious charac-

ter of that state.

It is not normal in diplomacy for one state to comment upon the internal arrangements of another, let alone to give them its public support.

Even the United States, Israel’s closest ally and supporter, does not officially recognise it as a “Jewish state.” The Israeli demand is an attempt to rub the Palestinians’ noses in their defeat, and why would you set out to do that if you really wanted a deal?

The Palestinian insistence on a “right of return,” however rooted in natural justice, is equally self-defeating in practice. Everybody knows that a peace deal must mean compensation for the refugees of 1948 and their descendants, not a general right of return to what is now Israel, for that really would mean the end of the “Jewish state.” But no Palestinian leader has ever dared to say so out loud.

So why, then, has John Kerry embarked on his quixotic mission to make the “peace process” work? It has been effectively dead for at least a dozen years, although it remains unburied because the pretense that it is still alive allows everybody to avoid hard decisions. But Kerry, with his nine-month deadline to achieve a comprehensive “final-status agreement” (which expires in April), is taking it seriously.

His own explanation is lyrical but opaque: “I believe that history is not made by cynics. It is made by realists

who are not afraid to dream.”

But the business about “making history” – that, perhaps, is sincere.

Kerry has had a long and interesting career as a senator, and even took a shot at the presidency, but this is probably his last big job, and he wants to make his mark.

As the reality of what he is up against strikes home, he has scaled back his ambitions a good deal. For some months now he has been talking about a more modest “framework” deal

by April that would establish a set of basic principles for further talks. Such deals commit nobody to anything, and are therefore a popular way of pretending to make progress, but he’ll be lucky to get even that.

The French General Pierre Bosquet, watching the suicidal charge of the British Light Brigade in the Crimean War in 1854, said: “It is magnificent, but it is not war. It’s madness.”

Kerry’s foredoomed quest for a final peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians is magnificent too, in its own peculiar way, but it’s not diplomacy. It’s hubris.

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine January 27 - February 8, 2014

MONDAY 27 Popular designer gunned down, execution style POPULAR fashion designer, Trevor Rose, was shot dead early Sunday morning in the vicinity of Eccles, EBD whilst travelling in a taxi.

The Government of Guyana had taken the Opposition to court following the slashing of the 2012 National Budget by $20.8B claiming it was unconstitutional. In the preliminary ruling given in June 2012, the CJ had ruled that the National Assembly had a role to either approve or disapprove of the National Estimates, not to cut them.

Kissoon mounted the roof of the Police Consumers’ Coop Society complex on Robb Street, near Stabroek News, and despite the broiling sun, remained there, pacing up and down from time to time and threatening to jump off any time it took his fancy. The move was his way of speaking out against the alleged violation visited upon him, and letting the public know, straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, of a concerted effort by the police to silence him, as he claimed from the relative safety of the roof-top.

Dispute over rice field leaves two dead, three injured TWO persons were pronounced dead, two were undergoing surgery and one was being monitored by doctors of the New Amsterdam Hospital, following a bitter dispute over a rice field at Port Mourant on the Corentyne Coast in Region 6.

Linden Hospital staffer allegedly attempts killing of children with insulin GAIL De Jonge, a Patient Care Assistant at the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC), allegedly attempted to kill her children with insulin early on Friday morning, but later confided in another colleague when she could not obtain the poison she had wanted to purchase to commit suicide.

Multiple sources have confirmed that De Jonge is in custody at a police station in Linden. Sources surmise that a court ruling stipulating that De Jonge must allow one of her children to be with his father at weekends was the catalyst that triggered the woman’s intended action.

The sources say that after De Jonge had injected the children with insulin and did not obtain the poison to commit suicide, she went to the hospital and told a Sister what had happened, and that Sister rescued the children from their home, which is near the LHC, and took them to the hospital, where they were revived.

Banks retiree found hanging in yard A FORMER employee of the Banks DIH Limited was yesterday morning found hanging in the washroom area in his yard just after 10:00 hrs.

The discovery was made at the man’s Lot 19 Essequibo Avenue D’aguiar’s Park at Huston Complex on the East Bank of Demerara by his wife.

This newspaper was informed that the man’s family had left earlier in the morning and returned just after 10:00 hrs when the discovery was made.

Prior to the discovery persons in the area said that they saw the man doing yard chores while his wife and others left in a car to go out. The man lives at the home with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.

Upon their return, his wife called out for him but got no answer. It was reported that she began searching the house for him since the doors were open and when she

ventured downstairs she found him hanging in a sanitary block in the yard.

Neighbours were alerted to the sound of loud screams coming from the man’s wife but according to them, at first they took it for nothing serious since the family would usually be shouting at the dogs ever so often.

The police were called in following the discovery and the body was later taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital after investigators had completed their investigations.

One person close to the area suggested to this newspaper that from the way the man was discovered, it seems as if he ingested a poisonous substance before hanging himself.

While this publication was not able to confirm the name of the gentleman, persons in the area identified him as Oswald. (Leroy Smith)

vindicated the position that the Government has firmly held over the past two years, which is that the parliamentary Opposition cannot, by a mere majority vote, alter the country’s national estimates of expenditure as presented by the Finance Minister.

Severe wet weather threatens coastal regions until February 5 THE Hydromet Department of the Ministry of Agriculture is currently monitoring a weather pattern over the Atlantic. The ministry’s advisory states: Should it persist, this pattern could result in overnight rainfall of up to 50mm being recorded in Regions 2, 3, 4 and the northern portion of Region 6.

The country’s drainage system is certainly not designed to accommodate such a high amount of water, and should that weather pattern continue, some communities could inevitably experience flooding.

This situation is presently being monitored by all relevant stakeholders, and an emergency D&I team is on standby to ensure that the situation remains under control.

Nisi Order granted against Police Commissioner CHIEF Justice (Ag.), Mr. Ian Chang, SC, has issued a Nisi Order for a Writ of Habeas Corpus calling on the Police Commissioner to show why he should not immediately release Keron Herbert, who is being detained at the Bartica Police Station. The Order granted to attorney-at-law, Mr. Glenn Hanoman on behalf of Kenneth Herbert, father of Keron, seeks to have the police commissioner appear before the judge in Chambers at 11:30 hrs on Monday. The Notice of Motion seeks to have the detained person presented before the honourable court immediately after the receipt of such writ to undergo and receive all and singular such matters. The motion has reportedly followed the arrest of Keron Herbert after he had been released by Bartica Magistrate Dylon Bess from a charge of murder. ***********************************************

If Opposition does not have power to cut Budget 2012, they cannot cut Budget 2014 – AG THE final ruling of Chief Justice (ag), Ian Chang in the now infamous budget-cut case has laid a number of legal issues to rest, many of which were novel, given the parliamentary configuration in which the Opposition holds a one-seat majority. Speaking on the television programme Political Scope, recently, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall said that the ruling has

SUNDAY 2 President, PM, Opposition Leader join in celebration -as Anglican Church makes four new installations to its Diocese THREE Reverends and one Venerable were yesterday installed to higher positions within the Diocese of Guyana.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 9, 2014 Held at the world-renowned St. George’s Cathedral, the installation ceremony saw hundreds in attendance, including President Donald Ramotar and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds.

Those installed were: The very Reverend Paul Andrew Carto, as Dean of Georgetown and Rector of the St. George’s Cathedral; The Venerable Terry Nathaniel Davis, as Senior Archdeacon; The Reverend Clifton Ashton Elias, as Canon to the Stall of St. David; and The Reverend Jerrick Fitzgerald Rayside, as Honorary Canon. each member was sworn in by oath to execute their given responsibilities with diligence, and preserve not only the titles of their positions, but moreso their religion.

House approves $6.6M for new restrooms for Public Buildings –APNU questions already approved funding THE Public Buildings will soon boast additional washrooms as a result of a $6.6M capital funding approved at the last sitting of the National Assembly, but not without the usual objection by APNU Shadow Finance Minister, Mr Carl Greenidge.

Prime Minister, Mr Samuel Hinds, whose office has oversight responsibility for the Public Buildings, explained to the House that the project was being undertaken as a result of complaints by Parliamentarians that the current facilities are insufficient.

“This was not planned, but it was known that it would have been good for us to improve the washroom facilities for ourselves, also for members of the media and the public,” the Prime Minister explained.

The Prime Minister further explained that $4.47M of the fund for the washrooms was derived from a surplus that was originally allocated to fix the Public Building’s ceiling.

Despite this explanation, Mr. Greenidge continued to question the decision by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, to approve the funds, asking whether the Parliament Office had requested the rehabilitation of this facility prior to November 2013.

Stricter enforcement, better management in thrust this year of natural resources sector MINISTER of Natural Resources and the Environment, Mr. Robert Persaud, met Friday with the managers and heads of the various agencies that fall under his purview and read them the riot act, so to speak.

He decried, among other things, that 2014 is the year of execution in terms of delivery and the firm implementation of the regulations that have been put in place to guide the sector. The meeting, which was held at the Grand Coastal Inn at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast of Demerara, was aimed at bringing various agencies together to openly discuss their challenges and experiences; develop a greater sense of appreciation for each other’s roles and responsibilities; and make recommendations to foster better cooperation and synergy. *********************************************** MONDAY 3 NIGEL HUGHES IN LEGAL HOT WATER AGAIN Jeopardises 300 students preparing for CSEC exams in April-May, 2014 THE Alliance For Change (AFC) Chairman, attorney-at-law, Mr. Nigel Hughes, seems incapable of staying out of legal trouble. On January 17, 2014, Mayfield French, the owner of popular city school Mae’s, sued Nigel Hughes, Hand-in-Hand Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Registrar of the Supreme Court in respect of a property located at Lot 29 Subryanville, Kitty, Georgetown, upon which part of the school has been built.

In the court papers which were seen by this newspaper, French is contending that since February 24th 2006, she purchased the said property from Nigel Hughes for the sum of $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars). She paid $8M as a deposit and went in possession; transport was supposed to be passed within 8 months and a mortgage on the said property was supposed to be paid off before the passing of the said transport.

In the meanwhile, this property was built up by French with buildings constructed on it as part of the school building complex.

Opposition walks out of AML sub-committee meeting -objects to PSC observing committee meetings OPPOSITION parliamentarians last evening walked out of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Special Select Committee meeting, in response to Government support for the Private Sector Commission’s (PSC) attendance at meetings of the committee in an “observer” capacity. The PSC had submitted a letter to the sub-committee last month requesting, as stakeholders, to observe the meetings. Last evening Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh moved the motion to have the PSC attend the meetings, but the Opposition, after objecting strenuously to the PSC being allowed to attend all meetings of the committee, walked out of the meeting in an attempt to avoid voting on the matter.

In an invited comment, Singh stated that Government’s position was clear in that the private sector of Guyana has a legitimate interest in the timely passage of the legislation given the grave consequences that would devolve on Guyana’s economy should Parliament fail to enact the amendments.

“This is a most unfortunate development, and reflects yet another attempt by the Opposition to frustrate the timely passage of this bill,” the Finance Minister declared.

At PAC meeting…GECOM’s acting CEO in ‘hot seat’ over financial irregularities AUDITOR General, Deodat Sharma is sticking to his 2011 report on the financial management at the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), where several areas have raised red flags for the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Acting Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Calvin Benn, and other GECOM officials, yesterday, appeared before the committee which is chaired by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Shadow Finance Minister, Carl Greenidge.

Greenidge, along with Government’s Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira and outspoken committee member, Bibi Shaddick, among other members were in agreement as they questioned several areas of concern, including: * The loss of some $500,000 from GECOM, which the Com-

mission is asking to be written off; * The claim for over $10 million in outstanding payments, a debt the Commission is asking the Ministry of Finance to write off. *********************************************** TUESDAY 4 GRANGER CALLED OUT - on conditions set for passage of AML/CFT Bill THE France-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meets on February 13, mere days away, and with Guyana being ranked at the top of that body’s list of possible countries to qualify for the International Cooperation Review Group’s (ICRG) review, the pressure is mounting on this country to have the Anti-Money Laundering & Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill passed into law. QUOTE: “Non-passage of the AML/CFT Bill will have devastating consequences not only on the economy, but also on Guyana’s international image. The bottom line, undisputed, is that every single Guyanese will suffer in the end. This will include Opposition supporters as well” – Rohee *********************************************** PSC chides APNU for ‘a disturbing display of bad faith’ THE Private Sector Commission (PSC) said it was “astounded” to learn that A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has opposed a motion put to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee considering the Anti-Money Laundering Legislation for the Committee to be opened for the PSC to have an ‘observer’ presence at the meeting. PSC, in a statement last evening, said it wishes to state that, at a meeting held with APNU on 10th December, 2013, with regard to the delay in the passing of the AML/CFT Amendment Bill and which was reported in a PSC Press Release on 20th December, 2013, APNU gave an unqualified undertaking to support the PSC proposal “that the meeting of the Special Select Committee be held in public”, facilitating observer attendance by the PSC, the media and, if they wish, representatives of Labour. The PSC made the same proposal at a meeting held with the Alliance For Change (AFC) on 18th December, 2013, to which the AFC indicated they had no objection.

The PSC said it finds it inexplicable that APNU would now renege on its undertaking made at a meeting chaired by its leader, David Granger and “considers this to be a disturbing display of bad faith on the part of the major Opposition party”. The PSC has requested an urgent meeting with APNU on the matter. *********************************************** No evidence to support buggery of Colwyn Harding -according to Chairman of Police Complaints Authority -assault and breach of SOPs by cops confirmed CHAIRMAN of the Police Complaints Authority (PCA), retired Chancellor of the Judiciary Cecil Kennard said yesterday that that there is a difficulty at this time to prove that Colwyn Harding was indeed sodomised.

Justice Kennard told the Chronicle that the difficulty comes about because of the length of time that had elapsed since the alleged incident and when the young man was seen by a doctor.

In the meantime, many persons are anxiously awaiting the final report and looking to see what charges the culpable ranks will face.

Justice Kennard, however, made it clear that while there are allegations of buggery, the medical reports and checks by the doctors are proving otherwise.

However, it was confirmed on the basis of the evidence that some amount of physical force was used on Harding while he was in police custody. *********************************************** WEDNESDAY 5 Extraordinary crimes require extraordinary laws - says AG in response to Harmon’s negative characterisation of AML/CFT Bill A PARTNERSHIP for National Unity (APNU) front-bencher, Joseph Harmon said in a media report on Tuesday that some of the measures in the current Anti-Money Laundering & Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill saw the possibility of rights related to searches and seizures being violated. He added that the “even more draconian measures” in place would be a threat to certain liberties.

But Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, rejected the negative characterisation of the AML/CFT Bill, and said, “I will be the first, as the subject minister, I am the first person to have stated publicly that the bill and the principal act are draconian pieces of legislation.

“In fact, I have described it as sui generis, but the fact is that that is the nature of this type of law.

“Money laundering, the proceeds of crime and terrorism, the mischief which the bill addresses, are extraordinary criminal conduct which has had extraordinary impact on every part of the world where they manifest themselves. They have led to the deaths of thousands and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

“Therefore, such extraordinary ills require extraordinary laws and penalties to tackle them. That is the philosophy which inspires and informs this legislation,” the Attorney General stated.

Education Ministry on ‘high alert’!

–following forecast of possible heavy rain all day today THE Ministry of Education is reportedly “on high alert” following a forecast of possible heavy rain over the next 24 hours.

According to a release from the Hydrometeorological Department via the Ministry of Agriculture, “a high-intensity weather pattern, which is presently over the Atlantic, continues to develop, and as such, Guyana will experience rainfall of 45 to 80mm over a 24-hour period.” This being the case, Minister of Education, Ms Priya Manickchand has put together a team to closely monitor the situation, and is asking parents to pay heed to the warning, and if

necessary, touch base with their children’s school to find out what the situation is on the ground, and whether there will be classes before taking or sending them to school.

The weather pattern at reference, which was expected to commence last evening, is expected to be at its “maximum capacity” today and there is every likelihood, as much as “a 70 per cent chance,” according to ‘Hydromet’, that conditions will remain true to prediction. *********************************************** THURSDAY 6 STOP DITHERING! - Clinton Williams urges Parliament on AML/CFT bill PRESIDENT of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), Mr Clinton Williams, is urging Guyana’s Parliamentarians to “cease the dithering” over the Anti-Money Laundering/ Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) legislation and consider the effects of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) blacklisting the nation as a whole.

Opposition fails to attend AML subcommittee meeting - following earlier walkout MEMBERS of the AFC and APNU were a “no show” at Tuesday night’s subcommittee meeting on the AML/CFT, following a brazen walk out at a previous meeting the night before.

The meeting which was scheduled to begin at 17:15 hrs was attended by all four government representatives which included the committee’s Chair, Gail Teixeira. According to reports, the committee waited for 30 minutes for the Opposition members to arrive, but they never showed. As a result, the committee proceeded with the meeting which lasted approximately three hours.

Minister of Finance, and subcommittee member, Dr. Ashni Singh said the actions of the Opposition again demonstrates their blatant disregard and disrespect towards the citizens of Guyana and members of Parliament. *********************************************** FRIDAY 7 At engineering conference…

President decries poor supervision of infrastructural projects –blames infraction on ‘coziness’ between engineer and contractor PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar, at the Fourth Annual Engineering Conference yesterday, called for greater supervision in that field and remarked on the relationship between engineers and contractors.

“Sometimes I think there are too much cozy relationships between contractors and engineers… I’m tired of excuses; we have to save money and save time…too often we hear contractors give excuses for delays; we see sinking bridges and eroding roads,” he lamented.

The Head of State was delivering the feature address on the occasion hosted by the Ministry of Public Works in collaboration with the University of Guyana (UG), at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC), under the theme, ‘Building Guyana’s Future step by Step.’

Noting that there remain too many variations in engineering undertakings, he stressed the need for quality work to be delivered on time and within budget.

SWAT Unit goes into training at Police Officers Training Centre THE Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), in collaboration with the Guyana Police Force (GPF), has launched the training programme for ranks who would be involved in the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) corps of the Guyana Police Force.

This programme was launched at the Police Officers’ Training Centre at Camp and Young Streets in Kingston, Georgetown.

Minister Clement Rohee said the team was established in fulfillment of Government’s commitment to the citizens of Guyana, and is not intended to oppress or suppress members of the public, but rather to discharge its lawful responsibilities.

Rohee added that the SWAT team will not be used as a ‘political tool’, and is simply launched to fulfil certain professional responsibilities, based on the Guyana Police Force’s Standard Operation Procedures (SOPS).

Police Force acquires fraudulent document detection kits - donated by Canadian NGO THE Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) has donated to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), through the Canadian High Commission, more than 200 fraudulent document detection kits, which were received yesterday at the GPF Officers’ Training Centre at Camp and Young Streets in Kingston, Georgetown following the end of a four-day training course with officials from the Immigration, Border Security and Registry departments of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

At the handing over ceremony for the kits, Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee remarked that the training course was needed for members of the GPF to combat organised crime, since fraudulent documents are widely circulated; and now that the course has been completed, ranks should easily be able to detect fraudulent documents.

The minister said that organised crime is trans-national, and the course was geared towards capacity building of the GPF, strengthening ranks to engage in such analyses of fraudulent documents emanating from both local and foreign sources.

PREMATURE DEATHS TO DECLINE -with a now functional multi-million-dollar Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at N.A. Hospital THE commissioning of a functional multi-million-dollar Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and an intense four-day training for health workers at New Amsterdam Hospital, are expected to result in a reduction of deaths through improved monitoring at the Berbice health institution. The NICU is fitted to accommodate between six and eight patients whose referral would have been because of prematurity, low birth weight or other underlying medical conditions.

Neonatal patient, Travis Lashley was birthed prematurely and would have succumbed if the NICU was not functioning. He weighed one kilogramme when he was born and after two weeks his weight increased by 180 grammes.

His mother is Sherry Hack of Williamsburg Village, Corentyne.

The NICU, which is part of the Government’s health care expansion, was fully commissioned in May of 2013 but had been non-functional because the necessary personnel had not been trained in this new specialty.

Meanwhile, Dr. Precious Sonia Jensen, Paediatrician of Nationwide Children Hospital in the United States (U.S.), speaking at the close of the training exercise, noted that the overall objective of it was to lessen infant mortality in Guyana by implementing sustainable changes through education and technology.

Based on her overall assessment, she expressed the opinion that the trained persons are now better equipped with the skills and requisite knowledge needed to fully execute their duties.

Foreign Minister rebukes PNCR’s Norton over foreign policy criticism - says Norton is ‘far removed from reality’ FOREIGN Affairs Minister, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett has launched a stinging rebuke at former People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Aubrey Norton, for his “irresponsible and uninformed” criticisms of her ministry and Guyana’s foreign policy, as well as her competency as Foreign Minister.

“Permit me please to respond through your newspapers, to an article in the Kaieteur News dated February 7th, 2014 captioned “Guyana’s Foreign Policy is in a mess – Aubrey Norton.’’ It is not very often that I respond to articles in the newspapers and indeed in the media in general since I value very much freedom of the press and whenever it appears, constructive criticism. However, it will be a dereliction of duty on my part if the aforementioned one goes unanswered.”

“Let me at the outset indicate that I reject completely this irresponsible and uninformed statement by Mr. Norton with respect to the status of Guyana’s foreign policy. Notwithstanding his association with the Foreign Ministry in the past, Mr. Norton is not the only one that understands Foreign Policy, even if he would want the public to believe so.

To accuse the current PPP/C administration of not understanding foreign policy is just a demonstration of denial of the facts but maybe moreso a pitch to urge consideration by the powers that be to allow him to return to the hallowed halls where lawmakers meet.”

Resourceful Spanish teacher creates her own bit of history –with launch here of self-inspired Spanish alphabet card COMING out of many challenges was the launch of the first Spanish alphabet card created here by Mrs Ann Allyson Gilford-Benn, B.A., at the National Library’s Conference room. Started late last year by Mrs. Benn, the project was motivationally driven by the lack of Spanish alphabet cards in bookstores across the country.

After opting to teach at Mae’s School, an associate of Mrs. Benn recommended that she incorporate the use of a Spanish alphabet card into her teaching strategy to solidify the foundation of the language, and assist in pronunciation.

Having failed to acquire one of the alphabets from local bookstores, Mrs. Benn decided to make one of her own and designed it with crayons. This, however, proved unsuccessful, since she wanted something of higher quality.

Thus, Mrs Benn set out on a venture to make the first ever Spanish alphabet in Guyana. She was determined to transform her dream into reality despite facing many challenges along the way. ****************************************** SATURDAY 8 APNU, AFC ‘buckling under pressure’ -Finance Minister calls on Civil Society to maintain pressure on Opposition to pass AML/CFT Bill FINANCE Minister, Dr Ashni Singh said the return of two members of the Opposition to the AML/CFT meeting after they stormed out and missed two meetings earlier this week is evidence that the Opposition is finally responding to the outrage of civil society at their callous and irresponsible attitudes towards issues of national importance.

He said all stakeholders and social partners should maintain pressure on all Opposition parties until this bill is passed.

The Opposition’s return to the meetings is indicative that the APNU and the AFC are “buckling under pressure” from Government, stakeholders and the general public to see this bill to the House on Monday, Dr Singh said.

According to him, it would appear that the joint Opposition has exhausted its delay tactics.

Bonner ton ...

From back page Shivnarine Chanderpaul leading the way with 65 (101balls, 3x6, 2x4) and Trevon Griffith 37 (75balls, 3x4, 1x6).

Disciplined bowling from the Guyanese early in the Jamaican innings, placed a tight lid on things in the top of the table clash, as Jamaica scored 72 runs from their first 25 overs, for the loss of Horace Miller (06), John Campbell (10) and the stocky Tamar Lambert (07).

Bonner strode to the wicket at the fall of Horace M i l l e r, w h o e d g e d o n e through to wicketkeeper Anthony Bramble-who was involved in all three dismissals, and steadied things for his team, despite the

demise of both Campbell and Lambert, within the first 15 overs.

Bonner rallied the storm of short bowling from Beaton and his skipper Christopher Barnwell (1 for 57) and together with McCarthy added 52 for the fourth wicket, before McCarthy was caught by Leon Johnson at solitary slip off Permaul.

Carlton Baugh Jr came to the wicket but did not last long, picking out Barnwell at extra cover in his attempt to hit Permaul over that area, while David Bernard Jr was lbw to Beaton, who extracted pace and bounce off the wicket during his three spells.

Bonner got to his 50 from 117 balls, counting three fours as he continued to steady the Jamaicans innings, while at the other end, Andre Russell 14 (8balls, 1x4; 1x6) fought fire with fire by hitting Beaton over extra cover for 6, followed by his lone four off

A tumbling catch by Trevon Griffith at wide long on, accounted for Russell who was looking to hit Devendra Bishoo (1 for 37) over that area, but it brought to the wicket, a devastating looking Nikita Miller.

He saw the 25 year old Bonner inched closer to his century with a six and four off Beaton, while he got there two balls later, having faced 148 deliveries of which he struck seven fours and three sixes, with his third six realising Jamaica’s 200 in the 47th over.

At the end of their innings, three overs later, they had accumulated 43 more runs, as Bonner hit both Beaton and Barnwell for sixes, with the maximum off Barnwell coming off the final delivery of Jamaica’s innings.

Griffith and Chanderpaul gave Malta Supreme Guyana a positive start, by posting 88 for the first wicket, with Chanderpaul hitting Sheldon Cotterrell and Bernard Jr for sixes, while Griffith swept Nikita Miller behind squareleg for six.

Both batsmen also chalked up boundaries to fine leg off Bernard Jr in the 12th over, pushing their team to 78 without loss off 18 overs, but the introduction of Russell in the 22nd over saw the demise of Griffith who was caught by McCarthy at wide third man, after contributing 37 (75balls, 3x4, 1x6).

Debutant Robin Bacchus gave the crowd something to cheer about, when he drove

Russell elegantly for four, but was caught by Baugh Jr off the next delivery, leaving Guyana on 96 for 2, as Johnson joined Chanderpaul.

A short ball from Russell was dispatched with disdain

by Johnson to the backward squareleg fence, before Chanderpaul pulled a short delivery from Russell to wide long on for his second four, to realise his half century from 78 balls, two of which were hit for sixes, even as Malta Supreme Guyana inched to 123 for 2.

Lambert trapped Johnson lbw for 16 in his final over, but Chanderpaul continued with a six off Nikita Miller, before losing Barnwell for 11 (7balls, 2x4), bowled by Campbell after hitting the said bowler for back to back fours, prior to being dismissed.

Chanderpaul turned one off his body from Cottrell to Campbell at short fine leg at 152 for 5 in the 37th over, while a direct hit from Bernard Jr who was stationed at midon, accounted for Crandon (13) who was sent back by Fudadin, who was later caught

by Nikita Miller off Cottrell, who knocked back Bramble’s (14) off stump with his first delivery of the 46th over.

Despite some fireworks from Permaul 17*, Bishoo (06) and Beaton (09) late in the innings, with Permaul and Beaton hitting Cottrell over midwicket for 6, Russell (3 for 59) and Cottrell 3 for 62, carried Jamaica to the top of the points table from the group with the eventual victory.

He pointed out that his association saw it only fit to partner with the GBA for the venture. “ I also call on corporate Guyana to invest in our amateur boxers and boxing,” Yassin said.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 9, 2014

India reach 87-1 chasing 407 to win against NZ (REUTERS) - Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara guided India to 87 for one to leave the first Test against New Zealand at Eden Park delicately poised at the end of a tumultuous third day after their bowlers had given them a faint sniff of victory.

India had been bowled out for 202 before lunch but not asked to follow-on before their bowlers dismissed New Zealand for 105 in their second innings in yesterdays final session, giving India’s batsmen a victory target of 407 runs.

Tim Southee claimed the only wicket to fall in India’s second innings when Murali Vijay (13) got a faint touch to a leg-side delivery and wicketkeeper BJ Watling held a diving catch to reduce the visitors to 36 for one.

Dhawan, who had earlier looked like he was trying to slog his way out of a poor run of form, settled down to finish the day on 49 not out while Pujara was on 22 with India needing a further 320 runs in two days to complete a remarkable victory.

“Bit of a bittersweet day,” New Zealand pace bowler Neil

Wagner told Radio Sport. “It started off really well but it wasn’t as ideal as we wanted.

“But I think were pretty happy at this stage. There’s still a lot of cricket to play and we still have a lot of runs under our belt.

“We just have to be patient.

I still think there are enough runs there for us to play around with, particularly if we bowl well and get a couple of wickets early on we will put them on the back foot.”

41, and Watling, who faced 72 deliveries for 11 runs, provided some resistance.

Ishant Sharma then captured three wickets, including two in the first over after tea, to mop up the innings early in the final session.

Only an entertaining 25-run partnership between Wagner

(14) and Trent Boult (seven not out) for the final wicket pushed New Zealand past their lowest test score of 94 against India and the psychological barrier of a lead in excess of 400 runs.

The highest successful fourth innings run chase in New Zealand was the 348 for five West Indies scored in 1969.

BALL DOMINANT The ball dominated the bat yesterday with the drop-in pitch offering seamers both swing and lateral movement if they stuck to a fuller length, with the quicks claiming 16 of the 17 wickets to fall in the day’s play.

New Zealand had taken six wickets for 72 runs in the morning session to bowl India before lunch but captain Brendon McCullum did not enforce the follow-on after they scored 503 in their first innings.

McCullum’s decision not to enforce the follow-on however will be heavily debated among pundits and armchair

Sri Lanka had won the first Test in Dhaka by an innings and 248 runs.

Resuming on 12 for no loss, Bangladesh openers Tamim Iqbal (31) and Shamsur Rahman (45) denied the Sri Lankans any early breakthrough and went on to raise 71 runs.

Tamim was the first to go, bowled by part-time leg-spinner Kithuruwan Vithanage, while first-innings centurion Shamsur departed soon after, his defence breached by off-spinner Dilruwan Perera.

Eight out of 10 members support overhaul…

ICC board passes proposals favouring `Big Three’ (REUTERS) - The International Cricket Council (ICC) board passed key structural and financial reforms yesterday, effectively placing India, England and Australia in charge of the game.

Indian cricket board president N. Srinivasan will consequentially chair the ICC board from July while Cricket Australia chief Wally Edwards will head a newly-formed executive committee.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka abstained from voting, citing need for more time to discuss the proposals, while other eight full members backed the reforms, the ICC said in a statement after the meeting in Singapore.

“The Board has made some significant decisions today which provide us with longterm certainty in relation to the future governance, competition and financial models of the ICC,” the governing body’s president Alan Isaac said.

The proposals had invited widespread criticism with

Chelsea go top as Arsenal crushed at Liverpool

By Mike Collett LONDON-(Reuters) - An Eden Hazard hat-trick swept Chelsea back to the top of the Premier League yesterday as they beat Newcastle United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge after morning leaders Arsenal were thrashed 5-1 at Liverpool.

High-scoring Manchester City, who started the day in second place and could have gone top, slipped to third after failing to find the net for the second successive game in a 0-0 draw at Norwich City who defended heroically.

With 13 games remaining Chelsea are top with 56 points followed by Arsenal on 55, Manchester City with 54 and Liverpool on 50.

Everton (45) and Tottenham Hotspur (44), fifth and sixth respectively, meet at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Chelsea, described by manager Jose Mourinho this week as “the little horse” competing against the “big horses” of Arsenal and City, got their noses in front in the most open title race for years with a comprehensive victory over Newcastle.

The visitors had no answer to Hazard’s artistry with the Belgium winger scoring in the 27th and 34th minutes. His third goal came from the penalty spot after striker Samuel Eto’o was fouled by substitute Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.

Mourinho though was unhappy with Chelsea’s first half performance despite them leading 2-0 at the break although

he praised Hazard and said he could not understand why he had not won a Player of the Month award yet this season.

“We gave them too much freedom to play,” he told Sky Sports, “but after that we completely controlled the game”.

ARSENAL CRUSHED Liverpool made a mockery of Arsenal being top, crushing them with a stunning display of attacking football that produced four goals in an astonishing first 20 minutes from Martin Skrtel (2), Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge.

Sterling added a fifth early in the second half before Mikel Arteta scored a consolation for the Gunners from the penalty spot.

The victory put Liverpool back in the title race and, as manager Arsene Wenger conceded, raised questions about Arsenal’s ambitions.

Arsenal had conceded just four goals in eight unbeaten league matches before Liverpool went on the rampage.

Despite the emphatic win and Liverpool’s total dominance, which led bookmakers to cut the Merseyside club’s championship odds from 25-1 to 12-1, coach Brendan Rodgers played down title talk.

“Everything about our game was incredible today, it was an amazing performance against an outstanding team. The title has not been a target but we are improving and everything we did today was outstanding,” said Rodgers.

Wenger said: “It was a very poor day. It raises some questions today because we were caught many times and were naive.”

The existing Future Tours Programme paved way for “contractually binding” bilateral agreements between countries to play test matches until 2023.

The financial restructuring will see India, cricket’s biggest fund generator, as well as England and Australia pocketing greater share of the ICC revenue.

“Full members will gain greater financial recognition based on the contribution they have made to the game, particularly in terms of finance, their ICC history and their on-field performances in the three formats,” the governing body said.

The ICC said a Test cricket fund would be introduced to help its members sustain the health of the five-day format.

“The structure of the model will ensure that none of the full members will be worse off than they are at present and - if forecasts of revenue generation prove to be correct - all will be significantly better off,” the ICC added.

T h e p ro p o s e d w o r l d Test championship has been scrapped and replaced by the 50-overs Champions Trophy tournament in 2017 and 2021.

“It proved impossible to

come up with a format for a four-team finals event in test cricket that fits the culture of Test cricket and preserves the integrity of the format,” the ICC said.

“The most recent ICC Cham pi ons Tr ophy event proved to be very popular with supporters around the world and the future events will build on this success.”

The associate members will now get a chance to play Test cricket with the champions of a lower-tier tournament taking on the lowest-ranked full member in a play-off for a shot at Test status.

GABF Launches ‘Road to Mecca’ basketball tournament …We want the fans back! – says Hinds

By Tamica Garnett

GUYANA’s top basketball teams will be vying for an ultimate prize money $800, 000, when they clash next month at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in the “Road to Mecca” basketball tournament, which was officially launched by the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) on Friday evening at the Duke Lodge in Kingston.

An initiative of GABF’s newly installed executives, headed by President Nigel Hinds, the event is touted to be the starting point of the new executive plans toward rejuvenating the sport of the basketball in Guyana.

GABF president Nigel Hinds.

According to Hinds, who took over the Federation’s presidency last month, the event will be all about getting back the fans and reigniting their excitement and support for the sport.

“It’s not really about raising funds, it’s about resuscitation,

revitalisation, breathing life back into the sport. We want the fans back,”Hinds related.

Beginning March 1, the competition will extend up to March 23, with competition also on March 2, 9 and 16, all at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Homestretch Avenue.

The event will feature matches between the top 16 clubs in Guyana, comprising the top five teams from each of the three sub-associations - Georgetown, Linden and Berbice, and a sixteenth team that will have to earn their way into the competition through a wild card playoff.

The top five teams coming out of Georgetown are the Trinity Grid Holdings Pacesetters, Colts, Pepsi Sonics, Ravens and the Nets. From Berbice the five teams are the Knights, Smyth Field Rockers, New Amsterdam Warriors, Fyrish Sharks and Rose Hall Town; while for Linden the teams are the Kings, Jets, Royals, Raiders and Bulls.

The teams will be playing in a knockout format, and the team to place second in the competition will walk away with $200, 000, while the third place team will become $50, 000 richer.

Hinds said that the Federation will be doing some fierce advertising to ensure that they get the word out there to build up the appropriate hype among the fans .The GABF boss said that given the upcoming February 23 Mashramani celebrations, only minor advertising will be done between now and February 24, however things will pick up from that point until the beginning of the tournament.

Also presiding over the launch was GABF Vice-President, Michael Singh, and Technical Director, Cecil Chin. The

event was attended by other basketball stakeholders, who engaged the executives in a question and answer segment where they were able to voice their concerns.

One particular concern was the uniformity of the teams, where it was pointed out that for the teams to participate each player must be adorned in matching uniforms and their numbers must be displayed on their vest.

The issue of different teams ending up with the same colour of uniform was also addressed and Hinds noted that he will look into the matter to ensure that no two teams show up with the same colour of uniform.

RHTY&SC launches 7 Annual Basil Butcher Cricket Trust Fund programme th

By Michael DaSilva THE Rose Hall Town Yo u t h & S p o r t s C l u b (RHTY&SC) launched the seventh Annual Basil Butcher Cricket Trust Fund programme at the Hand-inHand Insurance Company Boardroom on Friday.

According to RHTY&SC’s secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hilbert Foster, the club strongly believes in the development of every one of its members on and off the cricket field.

“We believe that every youth must be provided with the necessary equipment to fulfil his/her potential on the cricket field,” Foster told media operatives on Friday, adding “in the classroom to obtain an educational background and in their personal life to become someone of authority and respect”.

He said as a rule, the RHTY&SC teaches its mem-

bers to work hard, to dream big and to never accept nothing but excellence.

The CEO said in order to achieve these goals, the RHTY&SC tries to assist its members as much as possible by providing the materials/ equipment they need to become the next Brian Lara or Guyana’s scholar.

According to Foster, over the past six years, former Guyana and West Indies test player and Berbice cricket legend, Butcher, has pumped over $1.2M into the Basil Butcher RHTY&SC Cricket development Trust Fund which has provided cricket gear and educational materials to close to 30 young under-15 cricketers.

Some of these cricketers he informed include Shawn Perreira, Loydel Lewis, Shalendra Shameer, Daniel Lewis, Brandon Prashad, Arif Chan, Shimron Hetmyer, Shemaine Campbell, Linden Austin and Plaffina Millington.

Watson out of first Test, Marsh back in squad (REUTERS) - All-rounder Shane Watson has been ruled out of the first Test against South Africa starting on Wednesday after a slow recovery from a calf injury with Australia bringing Shaun Marsh back into their squad.

Left-handed batsman Marsh, who was in the original squad named by Australia for the tour but later withdrawn, also with a calf injury, returns after proving his fitness in the final of Australia’s Twenty20 competition on Friday when he smashed 63 off 43 balls.

Watson did not bowl in an

Shane Watson inter-squad practice match at The Wanderers in Johannesburg on Friday, but did bat, making 34.

However, team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said he

would be fit enough to face the Proteas after he picked up the injury at the team’s training camp in Potchefstroom a week ago.

“He batted yesterday and was fine, and we’ve been building up his intensity. Today we were trying to get him up to match level ... and he struggled with that today. He could feel it,” Kountouris told reporters on Saturday.

“We just don’t think he he’s going to be right for the first test. We need a few more days now to let him recover and start up again.

“It’s not a tear, but he has

got an injury there. We’ve had a scan and it showed he’s got a low-grade muscle injury that we’ve been managing. We were hopeful he’d recover, but it needed to be a little bit more advanced than what it is at the moment.”

The first test starts at SuperSport Park near Pretoria on Wednesday, with the second following in Port Elizabeth on Feb. 19. That date will be the next target for Watson.

Australia have already lost all-rounder James Faulkner from the original squad selected for the tour, which includes three Tests and three Twenty20 internationals.

Work moving apace at synthetic track despite inclement weather

By Michael DaSilva Work on the synthetic track facility at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, is moving apace despite the inclement weather that is currently prevailing.

Already, the north eastern and north western spectators’ stands are almost 90 percent complete, while the foundation for the members stand which will be constructed between the two almost completed stands has been laid.

According to the project’s consultant Deoraj Dalchand of Innovative Engineering Consultancy Services, this should be completed by the end of March this year.

Dalchand said the sanitary block under the two almost completed stands should also be

completed in March.

According to the consultant, the international size football field which is part of phase three project is also 90 percent completed and in another six months or so, this will be accomplished along with the synthetic track’s perimeter lawn.

He said the laying of materials for the completion of the perimeter lawn should be completed by March this year.

Dalchand said the laying of the bottom surface of the actual tack has been completed, but the German company contracted to lay the track will have to return to Guyana when there is favourable sunshine to lay the top surface. This was a part of phase one works on the facility.

Dalchand said lot four of phase three which includes the

Trophy Stall and RHTYSC sponsor Berbice Basketball Tournament THE recently resuscitated Berbice Amateur Basketball Association (BABA) plans for the development of the game in the ancient county received a major boost when the popular Trophy Stall of Bourda Market and the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) joined hands to sponsor a tournament for youths.

Only recently the RHTY&SC donated a set of basketballs and other items to the BABA and this sponsorship represents a commitment to assist the development of Basketball.

Secretary/CEO of the RHTYSC Hilbert Foster who approached Mr. Ramesh Sunich of Trophy Stall for a donation of trophies stated that he was quite impressed with the vision of the BABA newly elected president Keith Myers and Secretary Petra Forde and

Petal Badree of the Trophy Stall hands over the trophy to BABA Secretary Petra Forde. would work along with them to fulfil their mandates.

The RHTYSC would only work along with organisations, Foster stated, who have visionary and honest leadership and he urged BABA to

work beyond the call of duty to develop the game. Managing Director of Trophy Stall Ramesh Sunich stated that he was willing to assist once the RHTYSC has recommended BABA to him.

The Trophy Stall, Sunich proudly noted, is a major contributor to all sports in Guyana and he was proud to work along with the RHTYSC to develop sports in the ancient county.

The Trophy Stall donated trophies for the winning team, runner up and the MVP of the finals, while the RHTYSC donated prizes for the members of the winning team.

Secretary of the BABA Petra Forde expressed gratitude to Mr. Sunich and Mr. Foster for their kind gesture to assist the newly elected body and pledged that the tournament would be well organised.

Forde stated that the BABA was very grateful to the RHTYSC for it’s contribution to the development of the game and issued an appeal to other organisations and business entities to support the development of basketball.

fencing of the perimeter had to be terminated due to unforeseen circumstances and it had to be sub- divided and retendered.

According to Dalchand, this process has already been completed.

Lot five of six lots in phase three caters for the road works leading to and around the facility. This he said was also terminated.

Lot six of phase three includes the construction of

sanitary blocks below the members stand and this Dalchand said would be completed in March.

The North Eastern and North Western stands are being constructed by BK International, while the members stand will be done by Dookies Construction.
