Forensic lab to be completed in less than two months

The Guyana Police Force’s Forensic Laboratory at Turkeyen

THE Guyana Police Force’s investigative capabilities will soon be greatly enhanced as the Ministry of Home Affairs’ state-ofthe-art Forensic Laboratory at Turkeyen is nearing completion.

Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee disclosed yesterday that the laboratory, which is approximately 90 percent into its schedule, is expected to be completed by next month.

The building, which should have been completed in April last, was held up as the primary contractor, Courtney Benn Contracting Services, experienced setbacks.

However, the equipment and other items for the laboratory have been procured and installation will commence this month, but only following the installation of an uninterrupted power supply to the building, Minister Rohee said. The staff for the laboratory has also been hired.

The Director of the Laboratory, who was recruited in October last, is now developing an operational activity table from the lab’s strategic plan, Minister Rohee said.

The $840M lab was launched under the Citizen Security Programme (CSP), initiated by the government and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

This programme has three components: institutional modernisation of the Home Affairs Ministry, Community Action Component (CAC), and modernisation of the Guyana Police Force, which includes strengthening of its forensic capability.

In 2013, a bill was laid in the National Assembly to amend the Evidence Act to provide a legal person for the laboratory.

The Evidence Bill, which was introduced by the Home Affairs Minister to the National Assembly, was voted down by the Parliamentary Opposition in June.

Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, on December 13, re-tabled the Evidence (Amendment) Bill, in the National Assembly, which seeks to expand the range of documents and reports that can be admitted as evidence.

Police divisions expanded to allow for better control, management

MINISTER of Home Affairs Clement Rohee yesterday announced the decision that has been taken to divide police divisions A, B, C, D, and F into community policing divisions.

This was done following consultations with the groups in the divisions, the community policing executives and the police. The new divisions are as follows: * A Division – A1 (Georgetown) and A2 (East Bank Demerara), * B Division – B1 (West Coast Berbice), B2 (Lower Corentyne) and B3 (Upper Corentyne) * C Division – C1 (Unity to Good Hope), C2 (Good Hope to Conversation Tree) and C3 (Unity to Abary) * D Division – D1(West Coast Demerara) and D 2 (West Bank Demerara) * F Division – F1 (Bartica) and F2 (Lethem)

The Home Affairs Minister said that this new arrangement would allow community policing executives and the police to have a better span of control and consequently, greater supervision over the groups. This would also aid in providing a higher quality of leadership in the groups.

Additionally, divisional and national elections were conducted across the country in 2013 for divisional executive committees and national community policing executive committees.

New office bearers have also been elected and installed.

At present, there are 266 active Community Policing Groups (CPGs) across the country with a total membership of 4424.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Saturday January 4, 2014

Significant progress made with security reform strategy - Minister Rohee MINISTER of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee yesterday convened a meeting at the Police Officers’ Training Complex, Camp and Young Streets, where he recapped the performance of the various agencies within the security sector.

This meeting attracted a wide-cross section of stakeholders from the various police divisions, heads of government agencies and even members from the diplomatic community.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT Giving an update of the Security Sector Strategic Plan 20132017, the Minister said that since the establishment of the Strategic Management Department in May 2013 with the employment of 10 professionals to oversee the implementation of the Guyana Police Force’s Strategic Plan, notable progress has been achieved.

However, three of the 10 persons have since submitted their resignation for reasons that were not directly related to their task of implementing their aspect of the plan.

“Those departures have not Minister Clement Rohee seriously affected the progress of implementation of the Plan as the remaining staff members were engaged in multi-tasking to fill the temporary gaps that were created as a result of those resignations,” the minister explained.

This strategic department has been involved in laying the foundation for the full implementation of the strategic plan.

To date its accomplishments include: the completion of a SWOT analysis to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats; development of a change management strategy which is intended to catalyse the transformation process; development of a communications strategy so as to ensure that knowledge and awareness of the modernisation process facilitate concomitant changes in behaviour in the GPF; the design of a monitoring and evaluation framework that is expected to improve organisational performance; and the development of vehicle acquisition, deployment and main-

tenance strategies so that the Force could acquire the appropriate types of vehicles to suit its needs and which are maintained as per schedule.

CAPITA SYMONDS FINAL REPORT The British Capita Symonds consulting firm has completed its work, and its final report has been received by the Home Affairs Ministry. As such, the ministry will now be moving towards the stage of working with Capita Symonds to finalise the details of each project so that work could commence early in the first Quarter of 2014.

The firm’s work focused mainly on four areas: administration, succession planning, the introduction of a code of conduct and the development of a specialist office of professional responsibility, and the establishment of a modern public relations and communications department.

DATA ENTRY CLERKS In a bid to have a civilian aspect to the mutually agreed positions within the GPF, the Home Affairs Ministry employed 60 persons who are working as data entry clerks at five divisional traffic registries, 48 police stations and the Georgetown Prison, Camp Street.

Their main responsibilities are to enter crime occurrences to populate the Integrated Crime Information System (ICIS) to support electronic data capture, and analysis of crime trends and patterns leading to evidence-based decision making by the GPF and the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Additionally, the ministry has approached and received Cabinet’s approval for the employment of an additional 25 data entry clerks who will bolster the data collection efforts of the Force with support from the ministry.

POLICY ANALYST To aid the process of analysis, a qualified civilian/professional has been recruited and is based at Force headquarters. Minister Rohee said that this has been instrumental in assisting the GPF in developing strategies and action plans targeted at combating crime and interpersonal violence.

Some of the outputs of the policy analyst include: analysing trends (spatial and temporal), disaggregating results by police stations and divisions (by type of crime, by nature of victim and by nature of perpetrator) and recommending strategies to combat crimes.

NAME CHANGE Minister Rohee said that the GPF must be seen as service oriented, given the fact that its mission is to serve and protect. To this end, the ministry requested a name change from the “Guyana Police Force” to that of the “Guyana Police Service”.

Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall has been requested to re-table the Bill in Parliament, to effect this name change. It was previously thrown out by the Parliamentary Opposition simply because they refuse to cooperate with the subject Minister.

DELINKING E AND F DIVISION According to the Minister, E and F divisions were delinked in an effort to enhance management within the GPF. Division ‘E’ is headquartered at Linden, while Division ‘F’ is located at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.

Investigation launched into ammunition find at Georgetown Prison

THE Guyana Prison Service has brought to the attention of the Home Affairs Ministry an attempt by individuals to infiltrate several rounds of ammunition into the Georgetown Prison.

A release from the ministry stated that this is not the first time such attempts have been made and uncovered by ranks on duty at the Prison.

The ministry and the Prison Service wish to reassure the general public that no effort will be spared to uncover and to find any illegal firearm or components thereof at any prison location.

“Nefarious plans and conspiracies hatched in or out of prisons to disrupt the peace and good order in our society will be exposed and disrupted,” the ministry stated.

( BBC News) A winter storm has blanketed parts of Canada and the north-eastern US with up to 2ft (61cm) of snow.

The storm has been blamed for 11 deaths and forced the cancellation of more than 4,000 flights since Wednesday.

With the wind chill, the temperature dropped as low as -29C (-20F) in Toronto and -38C in Quebec City, the lowest seen in two decades.

Authorities warned residents to remain indoors, both for their own safety and to keep roads clear for snow removal.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was sworn into office on 1 January, said most of the city’s main roads had been cleared of snow thanks to an “extraordinary job” the city’s Supporters ofbythe Muslim Brotherhood and sanitation workers.

Cubans can now buy new and used cars freely (BBC News) CUBANS are now able to buy modern cars freely for the first time since the revolution in 1959.

Previously, Cubans had to get a government permit to buy new vehicles. That requirement has now been abolished but only a minority will benefit.

The state has a monopoly on new car sales and is marking up prices by 400% or more.

Freeing up car sales is the latest in a series of reforms in Communist-run Cuba.

Until new regulations in 2011, people could only sell cars built before the 1959 revolution.

For new cars, people needed a much-sought government

permit - a privilege mainly bestowed on senior officials, top athletes and artists.

Permits were often traded on the black market for large sums of cash.

Now, Cubans will no longer need the government’s approval to buy new cars from stateowned sellers.

But prices remain out of reach for many.

The BBC’s Sarah Rainsford, in Havana, says a new Peugeot 508 estate at a showroom in the Cuban capital is on sale for an extraordinary $262,000 (£160,000).

That is eight times more than what it would cost in Brit-

ain, for example.

And used cars are not much cheaper. Our correspondent says a five-year-old Peugeot 206 is priced at $85,000 (£52,000).

The vast majority of people in Cuba earn a state wage of around $20 (£12) per month.

The government says some of the profits from sales will go towards developing Cuba’s decrepit public transport system.

‘Freed up’ Following reforms adopted two years ago, Cubans could buy and sell used cars from each other, but had still to request authorisation from the government to purchase a new vehicle or a

second-hand one from state-controlled retailers.

Priority for the permits was given to people “in positions of benefit to the government”, such as doctors and diplomats.

From Friday, new regulations came into force allowing “the retail sale of new and used motorcycles, cars, vans, small trucks and mini buses for Cubans and foreign residents, companies and diplomats”.

People who already have permits are expected to be given priority, however. And buyers will still need to purchase vehicles through state retailers.

Cubans and foreigners will not be able to import their own cars.

2014 murder toll takes off with 7 in 2 days

In Princes Town, south Trinidad, a couple was found stabbed to death at their Inverness home.

By Gyasi Gonzales and Kim Boodram (Trinidad Express)SEVEN murders have been committed in the first two days of the new year.

In 2013, the first murder

of the year did not occur until January 2. The murder toll in 2013 ended at 407.

Forgotten hero: Unfulfilled promises break heart of bus driver who rescued Flight 331 passengers contact Golding, but Daryl Vaz, who was the minister of information and who also took part in that meeting, said all promises made to Howard by the Government of the day were kept.

“When we met with her, she was asked what she wished for most, and that was for a trip to Disney World, which was facilitated by the Government through the Office of the Prime Minister,” Vaz, the member of parliament for West Portland, told The Gleaner.

Tyrone Thompson, Staff Reporter (The Gleaner) THE day after American Airlines Flight 331 overshot the runway at the Norman Manley International Airport and broke apart along the Palisadoes shoreline in Kingston in December 2009, bus driver Annette Howard became a ‘hero’, showered with praises and promises.

But four years after the Jamaica Urban Transit Company driver helped rescue more than 100 injured passengers, she claims few of those promises have been fulfilled.

“I don’t really want to talk ‘bout it, but a lot of things were promised and dem never happen,” Howard told The Gleaner in the days leading up to the December 22 anniversary.

At the time, in 2009, she earned praises from various sections of society and even a meeting with Prime Minister Bruce Golding.

“Mi remember him asking if mi not afraid to drive the bus, seeing say mi so small, ‘cause he would be afraid. But mi tell him mi might small, but mi have a big heart.”

Annette Howard, who assisted passengers of the American Airlines Flight 331 after it overshot the runway at the Norman Manley International Airport in 2009, shows off an award she received at King’s House in 2010.

- Jermaine Barnaby/ Photographer HEARTBROKEN But Howard’s ‘big heart’ is now broken after what she says were the promises made to her that never came to fruition.

“Ask him (Golding) about them - that a if him even remember me,” she lamented.

Residents block Coffee Beach clean-up : demand proper care

By Nikita Braxton-Benjamin (Trinidad Express0 THE clean-up of Coffee Beach, La Brea, was stalled on Thursdayby residents who blockaded the road leading to the beachfront, demanding permanent relocation and treatment for medical ailments.

Eighteen days ago, oil and bunker fuel spilled in the Gulf of Paria and began coming ashore between La Brea and Cedros.

State-owned Petrotrin has reported steady progress in the clean-up of the oil, despite being prevented from accessing some of the coastline as a result of the protests which began on Monday at Point Sable Beach.

Residents there also blocked access to the area, asking for permanent relocation and jobs on the clean-up projects, which pays $50 an hour. The protest led to Petrotrin officials meeting with residents to discuss the issues.

However, residents at Coffee Beach said no official had met with them as a group, and they feared there would be long-term health problems to those breathing in the fumes from the spill.

The Express was told that most of the people in the area had developed sore throats and nausea.

Fish vendors also complained that while fishing boat owners were compensated for the damage done to the boats as a result of the oil and bunker fuel, vendors got nothing.

Resident Carlton Clint said the health of residents was his main concern since he had read about the effects of breathing in the fumes over an extended period of time.

EXPOSING BISRAM’S DEEP-SEATED IGNORANCE

Editorial

NO RESPECT FOR THE DEAD!

MINISTER of Home Affairs Clement Rohee’s recent comments on the ugly state of the Le Repentir cemetery, echo sentiments that are similar to the numerous ones already made by citizens of almost every social strata.

Given the indescribable, unbelievable state of the grounds of the dead, there can be no other sentiments except those that reflect utter disgust.

Therefore, one can understand his feelings which he described as “very, very upset”, “disappointed” and “hurt” that “as a person who grew up in Georgetown…to see the extent to which the Le Repentir has degenerated into a mini-jungle”. Again, irrefutable, for all those who - like Mr. Rohee, recalled the halcyon days of the cemetery.

That the final resting place of the departed is in an abysmal state is to put it mildly. It is vulgarly shocking to behold the hallowed environment in which the earthly remains of our family members, friends, et al, have been reposed. One remembers the days when the cemetery was pristine ground, punctiliously maintained by a dedicated staff who, on any given day, could have been found cutting the grass – grass cutters were unheard of in those days – with the simple scythe, cutlasses, and grass knives.

They removed the grass from among the tombs, with an unerring thoroughness.

All canals and allied drainage were freed of weed, and siltation was not a problem. The sides of the roadway, leading from the Princes Street and Louisa Row’s entrances, were adorned by two beautifully trimmed rows of low hedge on either side to add to the aesthetics.

The roads that facilitated egress and ingress were properly maintained. On many an afternoon, visitors to the cemetery could have been seen placing flowers on the graves of their loved ones and sometimes sitting down to meditate in quiet solitude.

Alas! Such was the Le Repentir Cemetery, serene and refreshingly clean, with only the sight of the graves being a reminder that the departed rests there. Of course, it is still the place of the dead, but which then because of its mandatory maintenance regime, made death look less frightening.

But, look at this once showpiece of the former garden city: simple graves and mausoleums have disappeared amidst the thick, frightening jungle of firmly rooted trees; canals are choked; reptiles abound. Even the criminals, it is reported, now use its cover to part up the spoils from their many evil and murderous deeds.

Before its gradual disappearance into the foreboding place that it has become, anyone from any of the strategic approaches to the cemetery could have had a clear view through the entire cemetery; or even from the point of walking around its entire area. This is no longer possible, since thick jungle obscures all clear visibility.

Even the bridge has long disappeared from its Broad Street entrance, those at the Louisa Row and Sussex Street entrances, non-functional, while the others along the eastern Cemetery Road corridor are non-existent. It was a painful sight, during the land-filling phase at the dumpsite, to watch the tons of garbage that were constantly scattered among the graves. This was indeed the summit of all disrespect for the once well kept and tranquil place of the dead.

IN a letter published in Kaieteur News on Monday 23rd December, 2013, written by Vishnu Bisram, the writer raised certain issues which requires a response.

In that letter, Mr. Bisram purports to polemise on the PPP’s electoral chances at the next elections and expresses the view that the PPP is labouring under some delusion about winning those elections. He argues that among the basis for this delusion are that the PPP has neglected its constituency; many officials have erred; the PPP’s campaign style was lewd; PPP officials are guilty of arrogance without any action taken against these officials by the party.

Mr. Bisram has demonstrated a genuine and deep-seated lack of understanding of the role, function and ideology of the PPP. The PPP is, and from its inception, has always been a mass-based political movement dedicated to be the vanguard of each and every struggle to remove the working people from the chains of exploitation and poverty; to forge racial unity among our people and to remove class domination and discrimination in any form or fashion in our country.

To achieve these objectives, the PPP has used, and will continue to use a scientific approach as an interpretive tool in its analysis. From its tried and tested foundational principles, the PPP has never and shall never resile.

In the pursuit of its objectives, the PPP sees Executive Government merely as a means towards an end and not the end itself. It is our view that while we are in government, it makes it a little easier to achieve these ends. But whether in or out of government, those goals shall continue to be pursued. In this regard, we rely on our record over the last 60 years to vindicate us.

Therefore, Mr. Bisram’s reduction of the PPP to that of an electoral machinery, merely interested in the winning of an

election, is a profound error which forms the genesis of every erroneous assertion he makes and flawed conclusions which he draws thereafter in his missive.

For example, he argues that the PPP will not attract multi-racial support even if it increases public servants’ salaries. As a working-class party that has struggled valiantly for over 60 years for a liveable wage for workers, the PPP will never utilise salary increases as a political token to workers anywhere.

We will always strive to pay the highest wage possible, provided that the economy can sustain and the treasury can afford it.

The notion peddled that the party does not understand the reality on the ground is one that is said of political parties everywhere. The fundamental truth is that political activism is always a work in progress. The PPP recognises this reality and through its party machinery, is constantly engaged in such endeavours.

Admittedly, the same way that political gains are made, while a party is in government because it is able to deliver goods and services, similarly, political losses are suffered when goods and services are not delivered or when officials, through no fault of their own, have to refuse demands, both reasonable and unreasonable, of political constituents because the treasury cannot afford it. Arrogance and neglect are the resultant rebuke.

These are realities which all political parties in government must bear.

The criticism levelled in respect of the campaign style employed at the last elections is one that has validity; both the President, Comrade Donald Ramotar and the General Secretary, Comrade Clement Rohee, have made statements recognising that mistakes were made in this regard. Public commitments have been made not to repeat these errors.

Bisram credits the PNC in not deluding itself into thinking that it can win multi-racial support. According to him, “it

How many families, relatives and friends, both local and visiting, seeking to visit the graves of their loved ones, cannot, because of the mostly impassable growth of vegetation?

From time to time, attempts have been made to do some amount of clearing of the very thick, heavy growth jungle. One recalls the Islamic community doing such a stint, which was largely a voluntary initiative, and commendable. There were also similar exercises done by guests of the state. But since these were neither continuous nor sustainably comprehensive, the status quo remains the same.

There was even a meeting held under the aegis of the City Council at which it was suggested that overseas help be sourced! This may have been a well-meaning suggestion from whatever source, yet at the same time ridiculous since the answer lies with the relevant authorities – The Mayor and City Council (M&CC).

Minister Rohee’s comments have been the strongest to date, uttered on the shameful and shocking state of the place of interment.

Certainly, citizens must begin to lift their voices in vehement protest against the daily obscenity that has become Le Repentir Cemetery; there does appear to be an acceptance of the situation as the minister has opined, on the part of citizens. It is as if the resignation of an irretrievable situation has become a part of the general citizenry’s psyche. This will only result in the City Council continuing to make excuses and continuing their regime of gross neglect.

It is time that all citizens, irrespective of social status and religious conviction, demand an end to this criminality of a burial site where most, some day, will finally rest.

fished where there were schools of fish…The PPP, on the other hand, fished where there were no fish, wasting bait and losing its cast-net.”

As is stated above, one of the goals of our party is to strive to bring racial and working-class unity among our people. From the pursuit of this goal, we shall never depart. Unlike the PNC, we will never engage in ethnic and racial campaigning. We will continue to persevere to unite our people. So to Mr. Bisram, we plead guilty and we say that we will continue to fish where you think there is no fish even if we have to

waste more bait and lose more cast-nets. As the oldest and largest political party in Guyana, we owe that to our country and our people.

The luxury of an alternative is simply not available to us.

Unlike the PNC (APNU) and the AFC, we are not political fishermen. We are nationalist politicians championing the every cause of all of our people. Governmental power is simply a conduit through which we do this. It is not our ultimate destination.

Democracy project could be remedied with quiet diplomacy I READ with sadness the story of the American Democracy Project, the Government of Guyana, the US Embassy and the Opposition. My sadness is based on the fact that the United States and Guyana, much over 20 years now, have enjoyed very friendly and respectful relations, growing closer as the years went by.

But now this “Democracy Project” confusion seems to be negating all these close relations and diplomatic gains won over the last 20 years, without any vital interest of either Guyana or the United States being involved. This is the queerest diplomatic incident in Guyanese diplomatic history.

This gauche situation could still be remedied with quiet diplomacy. And the elements of this quiet diplomacy could be (a) the Government of Guyana must be prepared to speak with the embassy on the Project. (b) The US embassy has to meaningfully discuss, with the Guyana Government, the Project Document and to make adjustments to those parts of it which could arguably be not in consonance with the Guyana Constitution and its Conventions. (c) The US Embassy has to use its

diplomatic skills to exorcise the widespread perception that it has been manoeuvred into the Opposition camp and also, if possible, to restrain Opposition personnel from bragging about the contacts and conversations they have had with the highest embassy officials. (d) The US Embassy could have consultations with the Opposition, but these must be positive and open and this could do damage control and expel the perception of confabulations with the Opposition and being manoeuvred into their camp. (e) The US embassy must emphatically reiterate that it has no intentions of interfering in Guyana’s internal affairs.

This could be done immediately since it is standard diplomatic relations. (f) All parties in any way involved should only communicate to the media by way of media releases. This could prevent inadvertent or planned media misunderstandings.

If this is done, the project could be saved; the diplomatic skills of no one would be impugned and Guyana-US relations would be back on the rails in unruffled equilibrium.

$300M project smacks of the infamous ‘30 pieces of silver’

THE dialectic approach adopted by Alan Fenty in reaching a questionable conclusion on the matter of sovereignty has nothing to do with his feigned claim on the merit of deposition adopted by Dr Roger Luncheon in criticising the US Ambassador, Brendt Hardt, for what can only be an audacious assault on the authority of the cabinet of this country. This display of defiance is plainly obnoxious and should be condemned by all proud Guyanese.

Selling ourselves short has been the bane of Guyanese and in this particular case of $300M project smacks of the infamous “30 pieces of silver”. Our sovereignty is not for sale, dear Alan: what about undermining of the legitimacy of the PPP government, which history and experience of US interference in the politics of this country during the early 1960s, through the use of funding Opposition parties in circuituous manner, the $300M Hardt project has aroused grave suspicions.

Is Guyana about to repeat its tragic past?

IT boggles the mind why all those lawyers in the Opposition, including leader of the AFC, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan and “Dr. Know It All”, Christopher Ram who, as part of their legal studies would have studied a fair amount of Public International Law, would support the American Ambassador’s public declaration that he will ignore a decision of Guyana’s Cabinet of Ministers.

In that course, they would have learnt that the principles of national sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of a country. They would have learnt that those are two of the most fundamental principles of Public International Law. They would have learnt that no foreign diplomat can challenge the authority of a democratically elected government.

Why then is the US ambassador, who certainly knows that his public challenge to the authority of the Guyana Government is against all established diplomatic rules and conventions, continues to ignore a decision of a legitimately elected government?

And most importantly, why is the Opposition so strong in their support of the US Ambassador in his blatant act of disregard for Guyana’s sovereignty?

Those who are old enough or are knowledgeable enough about Guyana’s political history would not find it difficult to answer the questions posed above.

It is simply the beginning of a replay of the US intervention into Guyana’s internal politics in the 1960s. The difference may lie only in the purpose of the intervention.

The geopolitics of South America has changed. The two largest countries of South America, Venezuela and Brazil, are

no longer governed by puppet regimes of the US. Any attempt to install such regimes in these two countries as was recently demonstrated in Venezuela, will not only be hugely expensive, but also doomed to failure. This is where the strategic importance of Guyana to the US comes in.

Get it? Guyana is uniquely and strategically placed between these two countries.

How else then can the Americans ensure that they regain a firm foothold on the border of these countries without making Guyana a pawn in their geopolitics? The answer is a simple one.

Go back to their old and trusted friends – the PNC, now baptised the APNU, and the cash-strapped AFC who is willing to play the role of the long disintegrated United Force (UF).

Over the past few years the world has borne witness to this sort of intervention in quite a few countries in the Arab world, democratising them. The results of those interventions are seen every day on televisions worldwide. The American Government have converted stable and prosperous societies into war zones and living hell for tens, if not hundreds of millions. All of those countries have been thrown back decades in terms of their development.

The methods used in those countries are similar to those currently being used by the US Ambassador to Guyana, that is, supporting and building the capacity of reactionary Opposition forces which cannot gain power through the ballot box.

Don’t forget that the APNU and AFC, whose capacities the US Ambassador wants to build, are the ones who for two consecutive years cut from the national budget all major infrastructural and investment projects that

were designed to lay the foundations of a bright and prosperous Guyana.

We Guyanese for the most part are intelligent people who want to live in a peaceful, democratic society governed by the rule of law. We must therefore guard against a few power-hungry individuals who are willing to sell even their mothers for the sake of political power.

Such selling out is nothing strange to those individuals.

When the PPP was in power in the early 60s, they(power-hungry individuals), betrayed their mother (Guyana) for the sake of political power. We are yet

to recover from the effects of that betrayal. The PPP is once again in power and those very individuals are at it again. If we cannot stop a replay of this tragic episode in our history, Guyana would be destroyed forever.

Do we want Guyana to be the Egypt, Tunisia, Libya or Syria of South America?

The people of Guyana, through a democratic process elected a President to make decisions on their behalf. His name is Mr. Donald Ramotar, not Mr. Brent Hardt.

GOING MAD WITH NOISE I WISH to refer to a letter in the Guyana Chronicle (3.1.2014) captioned: “Not only along Sheriff Street, but all over Kitty as well”, written by a citizen begging and pleading with the authorities to put a full stop to lawlessness, but it seems they are incapable of doing what they are hired to do.

This part of your letter caught me when the letter writer said: “No one cares about the citizens of this country. Why are these heartless monsters being allowed to take away people’s health like this? Tonight is another session and Saturday and

Pleased with the positive reports coming from Amerindian Affairs Minister THE Honourable Minister of Amerindian Affairs, in an article that appeared in the Chronicle on January 1, 2014, said that 2013 was “a good year for the Indigenous people”. I grew up at Anna Regina in Region 2, and have had the opportunity to spend much time with the Amerindians at Tapakuma and Mainstay Lakes between 1950 and 1981.

I also worked as a Ranger and as an Overseer with the Drainage and Irrigation Department in Region 2, and my responsibilities included the Dawa Pump Station and the conservancy, which included the Main Canal, Capoey, Mainstay and Tapakuma Lakes.

Drainage and Irrigation hired many Amerindians to maintain the Dawa Pump Station and the various canals and lake tributaries in the Tapakuma Irrigation Scheme. These areas are truly

beautiful and I enjoyed visiting the Amerindian communities and to see firsthand their way of life. My work allowed me to associate often with many Amerindians, and I found them to be truly able-bodied, tough, resourceful, hard-working and stable. They are most competent, more especially with a cutlass and with an axe. They walk for miles every day and can work all day without food. They never complain and they work with unity and cooperation and their work is always the best.

During the PNC regime, especially when basic food items were scarce, Amerindians suffered the most. I saw starvation and severe hardships in the Amerindian communities.

Many families were forced to move out from these Lake communities in search of a better way of life.

I last visited the Dawa

Pump Station, Tapakuma, Mainstay and Capoey Lakes in 2007, and I was very happy to see much progress in these large Amerindian communities, especially in terms of population growth, housing, education and health. Without a doubt, not only 2013, but the past decade has been good for the indigenous peoples. Having spent a great part of my life with the Amerindians in the Tapakuma area, and having witnessed firsthand the hardships these great people suffered under the PNC regime, I am pleased with the positive report coming from the Amerindian Affairs Minister, Ms Pauline Sukhai.

Now, thousands of Guyanese visit these beautiful lakes every year, especially the Mainstay Lake resort.

MOHAMED MAJEED United States

Sunday and every night these people are allowed to harass and torment others while they and their families are in their homes safe from this torment. Will someone in authority, someone with feelings, I mean someone who has people’s welfare at heart do something about this brutal continuous attack of noise abuse? “ My God, my family in Kitty said it was so nice and peaceful for Christmas, but then things were building up real massive for Old Year’s night.

My family said they wished they had money to go somewhere else where it would be peaceful and quiet.

The bombs going off, the loud “boom boom” music blasting and then the passing PRIVATE cars with their “boom boom”.

Imagine a car passing at 4 am in Garnett Street, Newtown, Kitty could be heard in Station Street, Kitty.

Why is this happening? My family is pleading with me to write the government since my sister–in-law had to go to the hospital for an ear problem on Old Year’s Night.

My family is very peaceful people and are going mad with the noise.

I feel so sad for my family since we can’t do anything about it.

I have to keep talking to my brother who wanted to take matters into his own hands.

He would be jailed for life if he were allowed to do what he wanted like how others are doing what they want, whenever they want.

Guyana is a sad place to be.

APNU proposes a new ‘social contract’ - to promote national unity, foster economic development

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) is proposing a new ‘social contract’ in order to promote national unity, ensure human safety and foster economic development in Guyana.

APNU, in a statement yesterday, said the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) administration has demonstrated that it is incapable of solving the country’s current crises on its own.

As such, it proposes a new ‘social contract’ by which the major sections of society – including the government; political Opposition; trade unions; private sector and civil society – can come together to seek agreement on a broad national programme to move the country forward.

“A ‘social contract’ could be the main means of combining the talents of a wider constituency and of creating the conditions for social cooperation and economic progress,” the main Opposition party in Parliament stated.

It said “the three-fold purpose of such a contract” would be to reach a broad consensus on the goals of national development; to establish a sustainable institutional architecture and to create effective policy instruments for the achievement of the objectives of the ‘contract.’

APNU now calls on the PPP/C administration to honour its obligations to: ** undertake and continue tripartite consultations

with workers’ and employers’ organisations in order to promote increased production and productivity in accordance with The Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas Establishing the Caribbean Community; ** establish, in accordance with CARICOM’s Charter of Civil Society for the Caribbean Community, “… a framework for genuine consultation among the social partners in order to reach common understandings on and support for the objectives, contents and implementation of national economic and social programmes and their respective roles and responsibilities in good governance”, and, ** strengthen the mechanisms for tripartite consultation in accordance with ILO Convention No. 150 on Labour administration, 1978 that provides for an effective system of Labour Administration.

These functions and responsibilities can be coordinated properly with the participation of workers and employers and their organisations.

APNU also calls on the PPP/C to seriously re-examine the prospects for the future relationship between citizens and the state. It proposes that a new ‘social contract’ be agreed upon in order to address Guyana’s pressing political, economic and social problems and to foster greater unity, security and progress.

Kuru Kuru Centre curriculum to be upgraded this year

By Clifford Stanley THE Ministry of Culture,Youth and Sport (CYS) will this year intensify its efforts to fine-tune and upgrade the curriculum of the Kuru Kuru Training Centre on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, as well as to accommodate more students to the residential training programmes there.

Students at the New Opportunity School on the Essequibo Coast will be exposed to the curriculum of the Training Centre as part of the programme for equipping them with skills to make them employable after they leave the institution.

Work is also ongoing on the formulation of the National Youth Policy, with the assistance of two consultants from Barbados.

These disclosures were made

by Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, while reporting on some of the work of Minister the Youth Department in 2013, Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday.

He said the ministry turned out some 250 graduates from the Kuru Kuru Training Centre last year.

These youths had received training in various skills, including carpentry, masonry and motor mechanics. .

A major feature had been the programme to ensure that regardless of their trade, they were given the additional skill of driving a motor vehicle .

He said that a motor car had been acquired and the centre had collaborated with the police to enable graduates to acquire their drivers’ licences before graduation.

This was done because the ministry saw driving as a very important skill and an additional means to make them employable.

He said the ministry had also held successful non-residential skill training courses for youths at a centre at Sophia, and another at Vryman’s Erven in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

During 2013, some 120 youths graduated from Sophia and 50

from the centre at New Amsterdam.

He said that most of the trainees had been school drop-outs.

They had received stipends during training, which encouraged them to attend the courses.

They were all attached as apprentices to various organisations, thus acquiring a means of obtaining employment after training.

Minister Anthony disclosed that the ministry is currently receiving assistance from the Canadian Government in fine-tuning and expanding the curriculum of the Kuru Kuru centre.

The work was done in 2013 by a Canadian volunteer who has since submitted a master plan which is now being looked at.

He said that salient recommendations are quite likely to be taken on board in the thrust to make the centre more effective in equipping youths with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to making a meaningful contribution to national development.

With respect to the National Youth Policy, he said that the ministry had established an advisory group which has been working with the consultants on issues relating to youth.

The team has held extensive consultations with various stakeholders across Guyana, and has produced a draft National Youth Policy which is currently being refined.

Body of unidentified man found at Liliendaal

Authorities foil plan to infiltrate prison with ammunition THE Ministry of Home Affairs disclosed, yesterday, that it has been informed by the prison authorities of an attempt by persons, bent on derailing law and order in Guyana, to infiltrate the prison’s security by smuggling several rounds of ammunition into the Georgetown Prison.

A release said that it is not the first time such attempts have been made and uncovered, thanks to the alert ranks of the Guyana Prison Service.

Further, the ministry said it is aware that, for some time now, it is rumoured, that a firearm or components of a firearm have been smuggled into the Georgetown Prison.

The ministry and the Guyana Prison Service wishes to reassure the general public that no effort will be spared to uncover and find any illegal firearm or components thereof at any prison location.

“Nefarious plans and conspiracies, hatched in or out of prisons to disrupt the peace and good order in our society, will be exposed and disrupted,” the ministry assured.

Previously refused petitioners granted bail SIX petitioners, previously refused bail by magistrates, secured the grant yesterday.

Acting Chief Justice Ian Chang, before whom the applications were made, granted the petitions in the total sum of $1,175,000.

Following are the offences for which the applicants are charged and the surety they have been ordered to lodge: * Adeva Munroe, trafficking in narcotics - $200,000; * Subase Baldeo, robbery under arms - $50,000; * Howard Ramberose, robbery under arms - $100, 000; * Hosea Hopkinson, rape of a child under 16 years old $250, 000; * Odeba Semple, causing death by dangerous driving$375,000 and * Ryan Hayes, unlawful possession of firearm without a licence - $200, 000.

Three wounded in Ghetto Flex Bar shooting THREE persons were shot and injured when a quarrel turned violent early yesterday morning in ‘Ghetto Flex Bar’ at Albouys and James Streets, Albouystown, Georgetown.

Police said it happened about 01:45 hrs when Andy Bharrat, 39, of Albouys Street, became involved in an argument with a group of men at the bar.

During the verbal exchanges, the men pulled out firearms and discharged several rounds that resulted in Bharrat being wounded in his back.

Nikita Glasgow, 28, of East Ruimveldt and Courtney Sandy, 28, of Light Street, also in the city, were struck on their left feet.

Bharrat has been admitted to a private hospital while the other two victims were treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) and sent away.

Investigations into the incidents are in progress and the business place where they occurred remained closed yesterday.

The owners were not around and nearby residents declined to speak to the media. (Michel Outridge) *******************************************

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS? - Hammie admits he is collecting money under false pretence - TIGI admits it is not fit to speak on topics of corruption, transparency

OLD Kai saw the media headline and baulked! Could it really be possible that after all these years, our eternal Mayor of Georgetown had finally summed up the courage to admit that he has failed our City and failed miserably at that and ask for forgiveness from citizens?

Was this one of his New Year’s resolution as part of trying to find peace within him and if not correct at least admit his many wrongs?

It is interesting to note that at the height of his political power in this country three decades ago when his party was in Government, Guyana was at its lowest. So why should we be surprised that ever since he became eternal Mayor of Georgetown in 1993, he has presided over the gradual decline of our Capital City.

Upon reading his most recent rantings in the media in what is considered to be increasingly frail attempts to stay relevant all my questions were answered. In true Hammie style, he blamed everyone for the state of Georgetown from the workers, businessmen, citizens, Town Clerk, Ministers and the Government, except of course himself.

So his worship has officially abandoned any responsibility for our Capital City, yet every month like a homage he goes to the bank to ensure his hefty salary and many perks is delivered compliments of the Citizens of Georgetown who have been paying him for the past two decades to effectively manage Georgetown.

Since His Highness likes to throw out challenges, Old Kai would like to throw out one of his own; since as Mayor of Georgetown you are not responsible for the Capital City; can you say why are you collecting a salary under the premise that you actually are responsible for GT? Isn’t this more like collecting money under false pretense?

I hope the Guyana Police Force fraud squad is taking note as clearly

our local chapter of Transparency International and their Opposition handlers will not.

Why should they, after all the President of the Transparency Institute is no other than Mr. Anand Goolsaran, who was Auditor General of Guyana when Mr. Hamilton Green was Prime Minister under the PNC Dictatorship. Mr. Goolsaran could not produce one single

audited report when Hammie and the PNC were in Government; so forgive me if I do not have any hope that he would do so now.

Home Affairs convenes meeting on accidents, traffic congestion THE Ministry of Home Affairs, in response to public alarm over road accidents, fatalities and traffic congestion, as well as its own concerns, convened a meeting on January 2, 2014, involving the Guyana National Road Safety Council (GNRSC), the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Guyana Minibus Association.

The purpose was to discuss those matters and come up with recommendations on the way forward, according to a statement from the ministry yesterday.

It said the meeting was informed that the main causes of fatal accidents in 2013 was speeding, inattentiveness and driving under the influence of alcohol.

The majority of victims were pedestrians with the involvement of private vehicles occurring between midday and evening hours, between evening hours to midnight on Sundays and Fridays involving young drivers ranging in age from 16 to 24 years and 25 to 33 years.

In this connection, it was agreed that, with this information in hand, there should be more targeted enforcement by the GPF and education programmes by the GNRSC. Special programmes are to be organised for young driv-

ers in particular and night clubs are to be closely monitored

by GPF ranks making greater use of close circuit television (CCTV) footage to address delinquent drivers and other road users.

The GPF is to set realistic targets with a view to reducing fatal and other road accidents in general, the statement said.

It said the meeting was informed that between 2010 and 2013, the Ministry procured and delivered, to the GPF, 18 breathalyser machines with printers and 400 mouthpieces as well as 29 radar guns.

Additionally, the meeting analysed several recommendations recently advanced by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and found them agreeable and implementable in principle.

Consequently, those recommendations were assigned to various stakeholders for further consideration as regards implementation, having regard to their respective capacities and competencies to do so.

The statement said it was further agreed that a National Conference on Road Safety will be convened, early in the year, bringing together all stakeholders in the campaign to uphold road safety throughout Guyana.

Essequibo teen attempts suicide after ‘girlfriend’ rejected him - 17-yr-old now battling for life in hospital

SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Rico Persaud, of Walton Hall, who ingested a quantity of deadly poison, is battling for his life in the Suddie Hospital.

Reports said the teenager had attended a birthday party at Paradise Village, also on the Essequibo Coast and tried to commit suicide after a girl, with whom he is in love, rejected him.

It is reported that the spurned teen, who was drinking alcoholic beverages, went to a shop in Paradise which sells insecticides and pesticides and purchased a bottle which he consumed in anger.

Friends and relatives rushed him to the hospital where he remains under observation.

His is the first attempted suicide in the region for the new year.

involved or have no input in putting together the annual report on Guyana but rather ‘the CPI is based on experts’ opinions of public sector corruption in Guyana. So all along Old Kai was made to believe that these local people were the ‘experts’ meaning they were ‘an authority’ or have ‘the ability’ to pronounce definitively on the scope of their focus which is public sector corruption and transparency.

Their admission that they have no idea what they are really doing simply confirms the contention of Government and several other stakeholders all along. This revealing information will serve to further confirm in the minds of citizens that the TIGI was a creation of Opposition elements who are using it to attack and discredit Guyana’s international image in their bitter efforts to seek revenge against the PPP/C Government.

However, as the old saying goes, ‘don’t cut your nose to spite your face’ these people have ignored the fact that their actions are hurting the people of Guyana including their very own supporters.

The same can be said for their cutting of the National Budget for two consecutive years, their efforts to force a 22% increase in electricity rates on consumers, their attack on national projects and of course their refusal to support Government’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism amendment bill which ironically would have gone a far way in fighting corruption and improving transparency.

As a result of the opposition action, this country was blacklisted and this no doubt will fuel the perception of corruption as contained in the CPI report.

By Rajendra Prabhulall HEAVY, consistent rainfall over the past few days has caused serious flooding of farms in the Cozier Agriculture Scheme on the Essequibo Coast.

One cash crop farmer, Carl Roberts, said his and several others are flooded with some six inches of water that have overflowed from drainage trenches.

He said a plot of 10 acres that is planted with water melons, pumpkins and corn, by himself and family members, Goberdhan, Orlando, Roy and Sylvester, has perished in the flood.

Roberts said the watermelon plants were growing well and about to start bearing when the flood came.

He said one tin of water melon seeds cost him some $10,000 and he estimated the loss on the 10-acre plot to be more than $3M. Roberts said he and all the rest of farmers depend on the farms for their livelihoods and a report was made to the Agriculture Office at Anna Regina.

Meanwhile, another Cozier farmer, Darrel Benn, said he has lost some three acres of young red peas plants and several fields with suckers and cassava plants are also flooded in the very fertile Cozier area.

Funeral today for Chief Librarian

By Leroy Smith

THOMPSON family members, staffers of the National Library, Education Ministry personnel and other sympathisers Thursday evening participated in a candlelight vigil in honour of the late Chief Librarian, Ms Gillian Thompson, who was killed in an accident at the corner of North Road and Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Bourda, Georgetown, on December 24.

The vigil, at the scene of the accident, saw scriptural verses being read and religious songs being sung.

Thompson was heading from her home to her office to join the National Library staff in embarking on a toy distribution exercise in a section of the city. She was at the time travelling in the vehicle owned by the library.

As her vehicle approached the junction of North Road and Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, a speeding car heading north along Shiv Chanderpaul Drive slammed her vehicle into the rail of the nearby bridge, while the car ended up in the trench nearby.

Ms Thompson had been heading the National Library for some time, and her presence as chief librarian has spearheaded several innovative programmes at the country’s flagship library.

She will be laid to rest today. Her body will be available for viewing at Merriman’s Funeral Home at Lime and Bent Streets, Werk-en-Rust, from 12:30 hrs to 13:00 hrs. The body will then be moved to the Trinity Methodist Church at Leopold and High Streets for tributes at 13:30 hrs, prior to burial at the Methodist Church ground at Plaisance, East Coast Demerara.

Candles are lit at the vigil for Gillian Thompson on Thursday night

GRC Florida Inc donates G$1.1M to local orgnisation

By Michel Outridge THE Guyana Relief Council (GRC), on Thursday, received a G$1.1M donation from its sister organisation GRC Florida Inc. The handing over ceremony took place at the GRC’s Georgetown Head Office.

GRC Florida Inc. was established in 2006 and has been holding an annual gala, with the funds garnered from this event being donated to the local body.

GRC Treasurer Barbara Walrond, after receiving the monetary gift, said she is truly appreciative of the support of GRC Florida Inc., which allows the Guyana establishment to fulfill its mandate of caring and sharing with those persons whose places of abode were either destroyed or compromised by disaster.

The contribution also helps to meet the needs of persons in difficult circumstances.

The staff, executive members and volunteers of GRC expressed their heartfelt gratitude to GRC Florida Inc. for the kind gesture, she added.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the GRC Florida Inc., Joan Jonas said she was delighted to be here and conveyed greetings from the overseas based members and founder.

She said she got involved in the annual gala dinner several years ago when she began selling tickets for a friend and, after sometime, she was encouraged to become a member of the board of directors.

Jonas said she, like others in the team, have been raising funds through their annual gala dinner for the chapter in Guyana.

Jonas, Walrond, GRC Adviser Bernice Mansell, Vice Chairman Maurice Amres, Treasurer Adele Butts and Assistant Secretary Suparna Bera-Narine, took the visitors on a tour of the temporary shelter, which accommodates persons displaced by fires or natural disasters at the rear of the Ruimveldt, Georgetown compound.

The GRC, a charitable non-governmental organisation (NGO) has, for the past 20 years, reached out to meet the needs of disaster victims throughout Guyana.

Ever mindful of the difficult circumstances experienced by persons other than disaster victims, GRC regularly provides assistance

in needy situations.

To date, the Shelter Administrator and the Welfare Committee have gone out in the field to render assistance to victims of high winds along the East Coast Demerara.

The Committee, as is customary during the holidays, has provided hampers for Evergreen Nightingale Club and the Ogle Community Centre annual old/needy folks Christmas cheer.

For 2013, the GRC assisted 330 people whose homes were destroyed by fire, aided another 11 victims of high winds and assisted 109 persons in difficult situations.

SENT BARRELS She mentioned that Laparkan also made it possible for them to have sent barrels hassle-free to Guyana and expressed thanks to the company.

Mrs. Jonas, who was accompanied by her husband, Dr. Cecil

Region 2 gets excavators to improve drainage

The new mini-excavator machines parked in the Regional Engineering compound at Anna Regina

THE regional administration in Region 2, (Pomeroon/Supenaam), has received four new mini-excavators from the Government through the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), to improve drainage in residential and housing areas on the Essequibo Coast.

Regional Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud said the machines will be used to provide residents with proper drainage.

He said he would be meeting with officials of the Anna Regina Town Council and the five Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs), shortly, to discuss plans for putting the machines into operation.

Persaud said the focus will be to clear all the drains within the residential and housing areas and warned that earthen and concrete bridges over drainage trenches that do not have pipes or tubes with the required circumference will be dug out.

He called on the Town Council and NDC officials to alert residents and said the machines will be supervised by the regional administration and the NDIA. (Prabhulall)

GuySuCo needs a good year - Ramsammy

SUGAR production came in at 186,500 tonnes for 2013 and 2014’s target has been set at 230,000 tonnes.

Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, told the Guyana Chronicle that the new target is possible and stressed that the Guyana Sugar Company (GuySuCo) needs a good year, particularly as it relates to addressing the cash flow challenges it currently faces.

He explained that contrary to the Kaieteur News article earlier this week, under the headline: “GuySuCo in deep financial crisis”, a good year can see the company’s debts being cleared.

The report stated that GuySuCo owed“banks and suppliers in excess of $10.5B” at the close of 2013.

Ramsammy pointed out that while the sum owed seems large to the average person, GuySuCo’s financial transactions are dealings that feature around the billion-dollar mark.

He added that another consideration in understanding the company’s debts is the fact that whether or not the company has a good year, it has to pay workers’ salaries and incentives, the latter being the focus of a massive protest action in the sugar belt in December.

Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy WEATHER CHALLENGE He acknowledged the criticism in the sugar sector’s ability to realise a turn around, but made it clear that the one factor in the turn around that is being ignored by critics is the weather challenge.

“There are changes that have to be made and in the long-term strategy the changes will have to take into consideration the fact that the regular grinding season has to respond to the weather challenges,” Ramsammy said.

Guyana used to have two wet and two dry seasons of a particular length, on a regular basis, but that has changed. Sugar requires a period of 14 to 20 weeks of completely dry weather during grinding.

“In the last few years, the one major single factor affecting sugar has been the weather,” he said.

The sugar sector has dropped from Guyana’s number one economic contributor, a spot it relinquished to the rice sector, and is now the third main local economic earner, behind gold.

Currently, during the off-grinding season, workers are busy with planting and preparation efforts, while factories are undergoing maintenance works.

The Skeldon and Enmore factories are expected to begin full operations in the third week of January, while the other factories will do so in the first week of February.

Region 2 farmers battling major crop losses

By Vanessa Narine

AS much as 120 acres of rice could be lost after a breach in Airy Hall’s main drainage dam flooded some 350 acres of rice lands in Region 2 (Pomeroon/Supenaam).

And General Secretary of the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA), Dharamkumar Seeraj, told the Guyana Chronicle that an assessment is under way to determine the exact losses.

He said, “Right now we are looking at 120 acres. This is young rice. The older rice was able to handle being under water for a little longer. We are going to be doing an assessment to determine exactly how much we lost.”

The GRPA head explained that, depending on the rice variety sown, the rice lands could withstand major damage for up to 36 hours.

BREACH SEALED He added that the breach has since been sealed and residents are dealing with the aftermath of the flooding.

“The break in the rainfall helped, so what we are seeing now is the water receding,” Seeraj said.

The Ministry of Agriculture, in addition, is continuing to monitor the situation.

Accused phone thieves refused bail

By Geeta Rampersaud JAMAL Younge (no address given) was on Tuesday last refused bail on a larceny from the person charge, by Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty.

The 23-year-old defendant pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said that on Friday, December 27, in Albouystown, Georgetown, he stole one “Touch Smart” phone, valued $70,000, from Nikesha Chew.

Attorney-at-law Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, representing the defendant pro bono, requested

that he be placed on a special programme after the defendant offered an explanation that did not correspond with his plea.

Younge stated that his son suffers from a “head cold” and does not have anyone to assist him financially.

The case was put off to January 21, 2014.

Younge was one of two 23-year-olds who suffered the same fate in that court.

The other, Chavez Alves, of Lot 624 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, is charged with robbery with aggravation but was not required to plead to

Asthma patient fined, for community service as well MARK Blackman, of Lot 292 ‘B’ Field Sophia, Greater George-

town was on Monday last fined $3,000 and ordered to do 30 hours community service at the Brickdam Police Station by Magistrate Faith McGusty.

The penalties were imposed on him after he admitted that, on Tuesday, December 24, in Water Street, he had two grammes of cannabis sativa (marijuana) in his possession.

His lawyer, Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, told the magistrate that the defendant is an asthma patient and uses the prohibited substance as medication.

the charge, particulars of which said on Friday, December 27, at Kingston, in Georgetown, being in the company of others, he robbed Hoosay Mackenzie of two cellular phones and $6,000 cash making a total loss of $26,000 to the victim and, at the time, during or after, made use of personal violence against him.

Police Corporal Seon Blackman, prosecuting, told the

court that the crime was committed at the Kingston seawall by the accused and two others who were previously remanded.

The prosecutor successfully objected to pre-trial liberty for the accused as well, pointing out that the cash was found on Alves and he was positively identified by the virtual complainant.

The case will be called, again, on January 7, 2014.

Grievous bodily harm defendant on $100,000 bail

ORIELLE Fiedtkou, an excavator operator, of Lower Kara Kara, along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, was put on $100,000 bail last Monday when he appeared before Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm.

He denied the allegation that he committed the offence on Joseph Cornelius on Christmas Day at Mackenzie, Linden.

Police Corporal Renetta Bentham, prosecuting, did not object to pre-trial freedom but asked that the defendant be placed on a bond to be on good behaviour pending the outcome of the case.

The prosecutor said the virtual complainant suffered injuries to the left side of his temple.

Defence counsel Peter Hugh claimed Fiedtkou had been in custody for more than 72 hours.

The case has been put off to January 9.

Works on Hope Canal continue apace to meet new deadline

By Vanessa Narine MINISTER of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has given the assurance that works on the Hope Canal are continuing at an encouraging pace, with three of the project’s four components almost complete.

“If we stay on schedule, unless we have very bad weather, we are going to complete work by February 2014. The only thing left will be minor works, landscaping and such,” he said.

Ramsammy stated that the bridge and related roadway have been completed and ready for use, with minor works remaining.

The head regulator, he said, is well over 80 per cent complete.

“It is in a state of readiness. All that is left is that we need to fit the regulator with the doors, ” the minister said.

Ramsammy said work is progressing on the third component, the 10-kilometre channel from the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) and the conservancy head regulator – but explained that these works require the outfall sluice to be completed before they can be finished.

He said, “The canal itself has some work still to be done and the shaping of the dams is about 75 per cent complete.”

The last and major component, the Hope Canal’s outfall sluice, the eight-gate sluice at the canal’s Atlantic end, has seen much work completed in the last month.

“The expectation last year was that we would not have been able to complete the sluice in 2013,” Ramsammy said, “There is, however, some light at the end of the tunnel.”

He pointed out that the work plan agreed with the construction firm, Courtney Benn Contracting Services, is a six-tranche plan to ensure completion by February, 2014.

The construction firm is expected to be saddled with the liquidated damages penalty clause from January 1, in light of the fact that works went over the December 31 deadline.

Ramsammy maintained that despite the challenges, the Hope Canal project will be delivered within cost, using the skills of local contractors.

Construction on the project began in February 2011 with an estimated 18 months for completion, and the deadline for the project was initially set for June of this year, but was subsequently extended to the end of August, then extended again to December 31, and now to the first quarter of 2014.

Miner remanded on unlawful possession of gun charge

MINER William Simon, of Princeville, Village, Mahdia, Potaro, was remanded to prison on Monday last when he appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty, charged with unlawful possession of a firearm on Christmas Day. He pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on Wednesday, December 25, at Lot 111 Mahdia, he had a 12-gauge single-barrelled shotgun, without being the holder of a licence.

Police Corporal Seon Blackman, prosecuting, informed the Court that two policemen saw the defendant passing by the Mahdia Station with a salt bag on his back and acting in a suspicious manner.

He said a search was carried out on him and the gun was found.

WILLIAM SIMON Successfully objecting to bail, the prosecutor cited the seriousness of the offence and the penalty attached.

Consequently, pre-trial freedom was refused and Simon has to make his next appearance on January 9.

Beres Hammond, John Legend arrive for ‘Night of Love Concert’

By Alex Wayne FANS are in a frenzy to get their last-minute tickets and even more so now that it has been confirmed that mega star John Legend and reggae sensation Beres Hammond have arrived for the much anticipated, “Night of Love Concert”, slated for tomorrow night at the National Stadium, Providence.

At a press conference yesterday at the Fly Jamaica Airline headquarters, Ogle, John Legend was all excited at being in Guyana, promising media operatives that he was here to deliver a sterling performance and to have a good time.

Raving that he would be ending the show, Legend emphasised that Guyanese can look forward to a splendid show. He is also anxious to try the varied cuisine available in Guyana. This is something he always looks forward to wherever he travels.

On the question of his being so famous and when he first knew that he was going to be a popular figure, the artiste said that he first knew he was going to be popular when he got a call from Oprah Winfrey and Magic Johnson on the same day.

Beres Hammond, who has been in Guyana since Thursday, was unable to make an appearance at the Ogle press conference, but held a separate one at the Princess Hotel on the East Bank of Demerara.

Speaking at the press conference, Odinga Lumumba of Mc Neal Enterprises welcomed the international star, assuring the media that the show would be one of a lifetime.

Minister of Tourism, Irfaan Ali, welcomed the singer and assured that his ministry would give promoters full support on such ventures, with the aim of boosting tourism and making Guyana a number one tourist destination.

He assured that he would approach the Finance Minister to ensure that financial support is made available to promotional agencies in instances of ventures such as the “Night of Love Concert”.

CEO of Fly Jamaica Airline, Ronald Reece, extended a warm welcome to Legend, informing him that his company was pleased to be associated with the venture.

The show titled “Night of Love” has been publicised since 2013, and is a collaborative effort among the Ministry of Tourism, Mc Neal Enterprise and Hits and Jams Entertainment.

Fans still have a few hours to grab their tickets at King’s Jewellery World, Clairan’s Boutique, Nigel’s Supermarket, Ashmin’s Trading, Matt’s Record Bar, Gizmos and Gadgets, White Castle Fish Shop, Giftland Officemax, Electronic City, Andrew’s Supermarket, Dave’s Sports Bar, KK Gas Station, Little Rock Hotel, Digicel Speedtalk (Bartica) and Digicel CellSmart (Linden).

Institute of Sports to be established in Guyana - ‘I feel we had a very successful 2013 in all the areas that we managed’, Minister Anthony reports

By Clifford Stanley

THE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport has indicated that the building of related infrastructure countrywide and the provision of coaching support for sports people were two of its notable and main achievements for the year 2013.

“Apart from other aspects of our programme, we focused on building sports infrastructure countrywide and coaching. I feel that we had a very successful 2013 in all the areas that we managed,” Minister with the portfolio, Dr. Frank Anthony said, in a review of the last year’s activities yesterday.

Speaking in the presence of Permanent Secretary, Mr. Alfred King, the minister identified, as some of the many noteworthy achievements, of his ministry: * Continued work on the development of the National Aquatic Centre at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara; * Construction of the synthetic track at Leonora, West Coast Demerara; * Preparations for state-ofthe-art lighting floodlights at Albion Sports Complex Ground, Corentyne, Berbice; * Enhancement of 217 community sports grounds countrywide; * construction of a new pavilion and community building at Bartica, in Region 7 (Cuyuni/ Mazaruni) and * Near completion of a sports resource centre which will evolve into a National Sports Institute.

NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT He said the ministry supported the work of local coaches in the various disciplines and retained the services of two international coaches, one in the field of boxing and the other in swimming with noticeably improved performances by sportsmen and women in those disciplines.

With respect to the National Aquatic Centre, Dr Anthony reported that the 50 metres one having been completed, the ministry focused on the creation of the 25 metres warm-up pool.

He said the foundations for the latter, which will take the centre to international standards, are, currently, being set by a local contractor.

When that is completed, the international contractor, Myrtha Pool Incorporated which had built the centre will be called back to install a pre-fabricated pool.

All that is expected to be done by the second half of this

year and then the centre will, apart from being able to give support to the local swimming fraternity, be qualified for Regional and International Competitions.

The year 2013 had also seen the completion of the foundation for the synthetic athletic track using local resources, Minister Anthony reported.

“We, currently, have the German company now installing the synthetic surface. Three weeks more and we will finish the surface,” he said.

According to him, the inner field is similar to the Providence Stadium and will also have provision for other athletic events, such as long and high jumps and discus throwing.

Stands for the northern section are being constructed by BK International and will be completed in four months, Anthony stated, adding that the track can be used once the seats are completed.

But more stands are to be built at this facility with the aim of providing seating for 8,000 sporting fans, the Minister noted.

“A club house will be built on the northern side and we will continue to as we go,” he said.

THE SYNERGY Additionally, in order to build on the synergy between football and athletics, the ministry has provided a plot of land near to the track at Leonora to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) to establish football facilities and so enhance the attractiveness of the area for sporting fans.

“We have spoken to GFF, encouraging them to come near the synthetic track so that football will be coming closer to it.

The facilities built for football and athletics are being placed close to each other and there will be natural synergies there,” he said.

The year 2013 also saw the completion of preparatory work for the installation of floodlights at Albion Sports Complex.

The company undertaking the work is awaiting a key component for the system, which should arrive this month, making the network floodlights at Albion ready for use by April.

The process to enhance 217 community grounds countrywide was a flagship programme of the ministry for 2013.

The ministry gave each of the 217 communities sums, ranging from $1M to $2M depending on their needs, to upgrade and maintain the sports locations therein.

Accomplished, too, was a pavilion and a new building at the Bartica Sports Ground and the opening of a national sports

resource centre, in Woolford Avenue, Georgetown, is to be announced shortly.

Minister Anthony said the intention of the ministry is to provide space where National Sports Associations can meet and educational sessions, on the various sports disciplines, take place.

He said the ministry feels the initiative is necessary because sport is a scientific discipline and there is always need for education.

TEACHING SPORTS That centre will serve as a location for teaching sports and the lower flat of the two- storey edifice will accommodate a library with the latest books in all the sport disciplines.

It would also have a computer laboratory with Internet access to websites related to sports and serve, as well, for

“The aim at Woolford Avenue is to create an In-

stitute of Sports, to provide systematic training for people in the area of sports. We see it growing and evolving into an Institute of Sports which can

offer courses to enable young people to obtain certificates, diplomas and even degrees in related disciplines,” he explained.

Bakewell and RHTYSC donate signboard to BCB THE CHEDDI Jagan Street, New Amsterdam office of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) would now be easily located by visitors after the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club and one of its official sponsors, Bakewell, handed over an impressive modern signboard.

The 8’x4’ signboard would welcome visitors to the BCB’s office and was described by BCB secretary Angela Haniff as a welcome gesture by the Club and Bakewell.

Secretary/CEO of RHTYSC Hilbert Foster disclosed that his Club was totally dedicated to the overall development of Berbice cricket and because of this has invested heavily in the development of cricketing talent in every area in the Ancient County.

In the history of cricket in Guyana, Foster stated no club who has assisted to develop a cricket board or sister clubs as the RHTYSC has done over the last two years with the BCB. The club has raised millions of dollars for the BCB’s off-the-field programmes and cricket tournaments and has also assisted over 100 young cricketers and cricket clubs in Berbice with gear, equipment and education materials among other items.

He used the opportunity to call on other established cricket

clubs to stop their criticism of Berbice cricket and to start assisting less fortunate clubs and cricketers in an effort to develop the game, not only in Berbice, but Guyana and the West Indies at large.

Foster disclosed that the RHTYSC would assist Berbice’s cricket in a massive way

during 2014 and over thirty cricket clubs would receive assistance during the year as Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation is determined to assist others to enjoy success.

Haniff expressed gratitude to General Manager of Bakewell, Rajin Ganga, for

his assistance and also hailed the RHTYSC as a true friend of Berbice Cricket.

She expressed pleasure that the BCB office would now be easily identified via the very impressive signboard and also hailed the ‘Say No to Drugs and Yes to Life Message’ that is on the signboard.

The BCB, she stated, is very firm on its anti-drugs stance for youths and the signboard would assist to spread that message and sometime this month, the BCB and RHTYSC would join hands again to distribute coaching kits and other items to several clubs in Berbice.

GFA/Banks Beer Knockout Cup presentation set for next week … Slingerz FC to receive top prize, Highest Goalscorer to be decided

By Michael DaSilva SLINGERZ FC will receive their $4M cheque for winning the Georgetown Football Association’s (GFA)/ Banks Beer Knockout Cup tournament in the upcoming week when the presentation ceremony is held at a venue and date to be announced over the weekend.

The West Demerara-based team defeated Santos of Georgetown 3-2 in the final that was played on Wednesday night at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence Apart from winning the

top prize, their custodian Ronson Williams is in line for copping the Best Goalkeeper award after a mere three goals were scored against him in five matches.

The Highest Goalscorer award is yet unknown but according to statistics accumulated by this news paper, Santos’ Michael Pedro and Wensley Christoff as well as Sunburst Camptown’s Devon Forde all have five goals to their names.

Pedro registered a helmet-trick (four goals) versus Houston Stars in the team’s 10-1 win, then slotted home one goal against Winners

Connection in a second round match.

Surinamese Christoff scored one goal in the team’s 2-0 win against Sunburst Camptown in a quarter-final fixture, one goal against Guyana Defence Force in a semi-final match and a double versus Slingerz in the final last Wednesday.

Forde scored four goals in his team’s 10-0 win against Essequibo on the opening day of the tournament, then slotted home one goal against Winners Connection in a second round fixture.

Unfortunately, Sunburst Camptown was ousted from

the tournament by Santos who beat them 1-0 in a quarter-final fixture.

Overall a total of 126 goals were scored in the 32 matches played. Of the 126 goals, Slingerz scored 14 of them and conceded three, Santos scored 18 and conceded six from five matches, while GDF scored 19 goals and conceded eight from five matches.

Meanwhile, Santos will receive $2.5M for placing second, while BK Western Tigers and GDF will receive $1.5M and $1M respectively for finishing third and fourth.

Pollard dedicates Slingerz FC’s win to ...

From Back Page bit more into the programme, but more importantly, I hope it would also encourage other businesses and people to do the same.”

Pollard is one of Guyana’s most decorated players, having won basically everything local football has to offer, while also doing the same in the Twin Island Republic Professional League.

This is his first stint since turning coach last June, apart from winning the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) League November last.

“This, personally, is a major accomplishment. It’s an entirely differently feeling now that I’m a coach. I think also, though, I need to say thank you to the guys. I played with most of them on the national team and I was their captain, so I think from the

beginning we had a high level of respect and understanding for each other, which makes it easy for me to impart my knowledge and set up a game plan,” the former National captain said.

Looking ahead, Pollard pointed out the club will take two weeks off to rest and enjoy a holiday, given the fact that they have been busy all year. He also made mention of the club’s youth programme to the 2014 season while noting that competing within the Caribbean is also atop his agenda.

“We want to invest in the youths this year, bringing some fresh faces to the club,” Pollard said, while further stating “It’s always important to have a youth structure as well. I think it would go well for what we have planned.

Also, we want to compete out of Guyana, maybe as far as CONCACAF but as it is

right now, this is not the end, it’s just the beginning of what Javid (Ali) is looking for and that is to be the best club in

the country. It’s not going to be easy but I think we are prepared to work hard.” (Rawle Toney)

Fifth and final Test at SCG

Smith, Haddin haunt England with another rescue act

By Nick Mulvenney SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) Steve Smith scored a sparkling century and put on 128 for the sixth wicket with Brad Haddin to rescue Australia and push the hosts to a respectable 326 all out on the first day of the fifth Ashes Test against England yesterday.

England’s nemesis Mitchell Johnson drove home the advantage in the final half hour by removing Michael Carberry for a duck to leave captain Alastair Cook (seven) and nightwatchman James Anderson (one) at the crease at eight for one at stumps.

Smith was the final Australian wicket to fall for 115 and while his second century of the series put a thick layer of gloss on the day for the hosts, there was no doubt the momentum shifted with wicketkeeper Haddin’s 90-ball 75.

Looking to seal a 5-0 series sweep, Australia were well and truly on the ropes at 97 for five after England struck twice in the 15 minutes before lunch and then dismissed George Bailey for one within 10 minutes of the resumption.

Haddin, as he has in all four previous Tests when his team were in similarly precarious positions, came out oozing positivity and took the game to the bowlers with a barrage of aggressive strokes.

“Brad was great out there,” Smith told reporters. “He was great to bat with. I sort of took a back seat and just watched him go. The way he played his shots today, it was brilliant to form a

partnership with him and get us in the position we are now.

“When you get sent in and get 326, you’d take that and to have them one-for overnight as well, we’re in a good position.”

England contributed to their own misery by bowling short to a batsman who was clearly happy to pull and hook to the boundary all day with Ben Stokes (6-99) suffering particular punishment.

The torment for the tourists only deepened when paceman Boyd Rankin, one of three new caps in the side, hobbled off the field after lunch with what looked like a hamstring injury.

The tall Irishman returned to bowl in the final session but lasted just one delivery before having to limp back off the field. England said his injury was just cramp, however.

Haddin grabbed his fifth half-century of the series before tea with a hurried single and Smith joined him with a half-century of his own with a cover drive for four soon after the break.

MEASURE OF REVENGE Stokes got a measure of revenge when he ended Haddin’s innings after 124 match-turning minutes, inducing an edge which Cook held in the slips.

“When a guy’s playing like that against you, I guess you have to hold up your hands to a

“I think it’s just the way he comes out and plays his natural game straight away whatever the situation is.”

That wicket brought out Johnson, who stayed with Smith

for an hour or so and 12 runs before holing out in the deep to substitute fielder Joe Root to give debutant leg-spinner Scott Borthwick his first Test wicket.

Smith, though, charged inexorably towards his third Test century, teeing it up with a thunderous six off Borthwick to move to 99 and passing the

of seven runs, Sri Lanka lost just a single wicket during the entire day to reach 420 for five at stumps, a second-innings lead of 241 runs.

The wicket of Dinesh Chandimal (89) was the lone success for the Pakistan bowlers as their hard work proved futile on an unresponsive surface.

Left-arm seamer Junaid Khan, who took five wickets in the first innings, picked up his third scalp in the second when Chandimal hooked him straight to Rahat Ali at deep fine leg.

Chandimal, unbeaten on 24 overnight, added 138 runs for the fifth wicket with captain Mathews and put paid to Pakistan’s hopes of making early inroads.

and a six on his way to his second Test hundred, then added 96 for the unbroken sixth wicket with wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene (48 not out) to deny Pakistan any further success.

Ace off-spinner Saeed Ajmal was wicketless after sending down 42 overs in the second innings and his lack of success on a fourth-day pitch underlined the misery for the Pakistan bowlers.

There was more heartbreak for Pakistan yesterday as they lost wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal for the remainder of the series due to a fracture in his left-hand index finger.

“I’ve felt quite good every time I’ve gone to the crease ... and today I guess was my day.”

Australia’s tail continued to wag and Ryan Harris scored 22 before becoming Stokes’s fourth victim with Peter Siddle following him back to the pavilion from the next delivery for a golden duck.

Nathan Lyon fended off the hat-trick ball from Stokes and it was Smith who became the young all-rounder’s sixth victim when he slapped the ball to Root

David Warner (16), Chris Rogers (11), Australia captain Michael Clarke (10) and Shane Watson (43) were then all dismissed as England claimed the honours in the first session.

Ferrari fans hold hospital vigil on Schumacher’s birthday (REUTERS) - Ferrari fans held a vigil for Michael Schumacher on his 45th birthday yesterday, gathering outside the French hospital where the seven-time world champion continued to fight for his life after a skiing accident.

A few dozen fans assembled outside the Grenoble hospital where Schumacher has been undergoing treatment since Sunday’s accident in the resort town of Meribel, in which his head hit a rock when he fell while skiing off piste.

“For us Ferrari fans, we are just like brothers, we are just one,” said one fan, Carlo Buschini, who raised his cap and blew kisses in the direction of Schumacher’s hospital room.

FINANCIAL CO “We are here to celebrate and to celebrate his battle for life,” said Buschini, speaking in Italian.

ner reading “Schumi, All our thoughts for you and your family.”

In a blog post on its website, Ferrari said Schumacher was “tackling the most important fight of his life” and sent him “double wishes” for his birthday.

Schumacher is the most successful Formula One driver of all-time with a record 91 race victories in a career spanning more than two decades. The German won five successive titles with Ferrari before retiring from the team at the end of 2006.

A less successful three-year comeback with Mercedes ended last year.

Messages of support appeared on Twitter from Schumacher’s former team mates.

“Happy Birthday, my brother Michael! Be strong!! Be strong!! Don’t give up!! We are praying for you,” wrote Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.

Another former team mate, Rubens Barrichello, wrote “Keep it up, man ... I know you

THIS was Brad Haddin’s sixth 50-plus score of this Ashes. This is the most a No.7 batsman has ever hit in a series. Greg Matthews’ five fifty-plus scores, which he hit in a series against Sri Lanka in 1992, were the previous highest by a No.7 batsman in a series.

Haddin has also equalled Gerry Alexander’s record for the most 50-plus scores in a series by a wicketkeeper. Denis Lindsay’s three hundreds and two fifties against South Africa in 1966 is the only other instance of a wicketkeeper scoring five or more 50-plus scores in a series.

Haddin has scored 465 runs in this Ashes, the second-highest by any No.7 in a Test series. He is just nine runs short of going past Adam Gilchrist, who hit 473 runs at 157.66 against South Africa in 2001-02.

Steven Smith hit his second century of this Ashes and the third of his Test career in this innings. His century is the first by a No.5 in the Ashes at the SCG after Steve Waugh’s hundred in 2002-03. There have been 11 hundreds by No.5 batsmen in the Ashes at this venue.

Smith also completed 1 000 Test runs during his innings: he has scored 1 085 runs at 37.41 from 32 innings.

BRISBANE, Australia - (Reuters) - Serena Williams extended her winning streak over Maria Sharapova to 14 matches following a 6-2, 7-6, (9-7) win in the semi-final of the Brisbane International yesterday.

In a match, which involved poor serving and high-quality groundstrokes in equal measure, Williams maintained her hold over Sharapova to set up a final showdown with second seed Victoria Azarenka.

Roger Federer, who like Williams will be chasing an 18th grand slam title at the Australian Open later this month, breezed through to the men’s semi-finals with a 6-1, 6-1 thumping of Australian Marinko Matosevic.

Williams and Sharapova played down their animosity before the match but there was no eye contact during preliminaries and on a steamy night in Brisbane their body language remained distinctly frosty throughout.

The result was a match with an intensity scarcely seen outside of a grand slam, something Williams feels is of great benefit to her. “(I) feel like I’m be ing pushed into the deep end straightaway,” she said. “I think it’s a good thing.

Sport Ministry to intensify anti-doping campaign THE Sport Ministry is committed to upping its anti-doping strategies in light of securing Guyana’s image as a dignified player in the world of sport, regionally and internationally.

At a press conference yesterday Minister Dr. Frank Anthony, expressed disappointment over the issue of Guyanese power lifter Gumendra Shewdas failing a doping test administered by the World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA).

Shewdas failed the in-competition doping control test which was conducted in August 2013.

Dr. Anthony noted that proper education with regards to prohibited substances is necessary, and added that his ministry will be conducting training sessions along with the Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (RADO) to educate sport officials, coaches and athletes.

The ministry is currently in possession of the list of prohibited substances for sportsmen and women which it will make available to sports associations and officials.

“We at the ministry we are extremely disappointed, but we have to learn our lesson and move on, and the moving on means we have to be more rigid with our anti-doping measures in Guyana, we have to do more educational sessions,” Minister Anthony said.

The young Guyanese made his country proud after dominating at 2013 Sub Junior Powerlifting Championships. Subsequently the Guyana Powerlifting Federation was informed officially by the International Powerlifting Federation of Shewdas’ failure to pass a doping test. (GINA)

all performances at all levels played during the year and the non-recognition of Campbell’s achievement of becoming the first Guyanese female cricketer to score an International century.

The Executive Committee was also mandated to review the performances of the Selection Committee and also to take corrective steps aimed at improving discipline among the Ancient County’s senior players.

Special emphasis would be placed on school cricket in 2014 at the Under-15 and female levels while all junior cricket

tournaments at the Inter-zone levels will now be played over two days, while a decision was taken to have the fast bowlers bowling at least one third of the overs at the junior Inter-zone levels.

Another major decision of the 2013 AGM was for the BCB to seek the assistance of former West Indies coach Roger Harper to assist several Berbice players to develop their games, with discarded Test players Brendon Bess and Devendra Bishoo among those listed.

The Motion to establish a Hall of Fame for administrators

was also passed and the first inductees would include Duncan Stuart, Leslie Amsterdam, Victor Omrow, Lennox Phillips and Ancel Hazel.

Members of the BCB also voted to debar all players in the GCB Senior Inter-county squads from playing at the Berbice second division level, following which the president at the conclusion of the AGM expressed gratitude to all present for the fruitful discussion and urged them to recommit themselves to the development of cricket in Berbice.

ICC testing new Decision Review System KINGSTON, Jamaica - The International Cricket Council (ICC) is testing a new review system for TV umpires that aims to improve accuracy and reduce the time taken to reach their decisions.

The Officiating Replay System (ORS), developed by Hawk-Eye, is being assessed by former elite panel umpire Simon Taufel, who is acting as a shadow umpire on the ICC’s behalf in the ongoing Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test match.

Without influencing the decision-making of TV umpire

Sundaram Ravi, who has just one monitor and one camera angle of the on-field action at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Taufel is able to view the direct feeds from all 16 cameras at the ground on two giant screens.

The ORS aims to help TV umpires make better decisions more quickly, particularly when it comes to, for example, adjudging a no-ball or a clean catch.

BEST SERVICE “Umpiring is all about giving the players the best service,

the best umpiring and best decisions possible (and) this trial fits into that theory,” Taufel said.

Currently, the third umpire asks for a particular angle from the broadcaster before giving his verdict. With ORS, he could see all the angles for himself in one go without having to wait several minutes for the broadcaster’s feed.

Barely two seconds would be needed to see if a bowler has bowled a no-ball and only five seconds to rule whether a fielder has stopped the ball cleanly at the boundary line.

“All we’re doing is looking at different options ... have less interruptions, less breaks in play and improve decision-making as much as we can,” said Taufel, who quit international umpiring after the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in 2012.

The ORS has been trialed twice before - in the Ashes Test at Old Trafford last year and during the last one-day international between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at Abu Dhabi in December.
