The body of Ron Webster laid to rest

- with glowing tributes By Shirley Thomas

THE body of Mr. Ronald Daniel Webster, former Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), was yesterday interred at the Olivet Brethren Church-yard, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, following a moving Thanksgiving Service for his life at the Bethel Gospel Hall, Camp Street Georgetown. Mr. Webster, born November 29, 1941 succumbed to a terminal illness on April 27, 2014. He was 72. At the time of his death he was also Chief Executive Officer of Caribbean Container Inc. and Chairman of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). There were many glowing tributes which attested to the amazing nature and character of Mr. Webster, aptly described as a true patriot; always visionary, having a unique capacity to discern what no one else could; a perfect husband and father and one who could be depended upon for counselling.

Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh and other sympathisers pay their last respects.

Mrs. Bibi Webster, widow of the late Ron Webster weeps uncontrollably as her husband’s body is opened up for final viewing.

Ron Webster was credited as having been a man of virtue, always calm, calculating and enduring; using his expertise in finance and engineering to craft strategies and find solutions that may seem abstract to others at the time. He was proudly remembered as one who lived a principled life and was never known to step back from challenges. Among those offering tributes were: Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, who spoke on behalf of President Donald Ramotar and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds who were unavoidably absent; Mr. Ramesh Dookhoo, Director of the Guyana Manufacturing Services Association and Mr. Zulfikar Samadally, of Caribbean Continer Inc. A family tribute was also paid by Mrs. Bibi Webster, widow of the deceased, whilst the Eulogy was read by Ms.

Patricia Bacchus. Quoting the Prime Minister, Dr. Singh said: “It is with a sense of great sadness and loss that my wife and I extend sincerest condolences to the wife and children and other relatives of Ron Webster, and to his work-mates of the Caribbean Containers Inc. (CCI) family.” The Prime Minister’s statement continued, “Unassuming in disposition though he might have been, Ron Webster’s service to our country was as diverse as it was distinguished. He will long be remembered for his many accomplishments and contributions in private sector, public sector, and civil society capacities.” The Prime Minister’s statement also noted that while much is known and has been said about his accomplishments and service in and to the private sector, it is perhaps less known that Ron also served in many public sector capacities. He was the Chief Executive Officer of the Seals and Packaging Industries Limited when that company was still in the public sector. He worked with Government in salvaging the company’s operations and eventually privatising it. The company having subsequently been renamed Caribbean Containers Inc., Ron would again play an influential role in restructuring it to return its finances to viability and sustainability, and secure what can safely be described as one of Guyana’s privatisation successes. Mr. Hinds noted that for a number of years Ron served as Chairman of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, and expended considerable effort on the matters of the day faced by the GGMC, particularly given the growing role and importance of the mining sector in our country. Webster served as Chairman of the Bauxite Industry Development Company Limited, the national holding company for bauxite investments, for a number of years until its wind-up about a decade ago and was a key participant in the restructuring and privatisation of that company’s subsidiaries, the Linden and Berbice Mining Enterprises Limited and the Aroaima Mining Company. He was also Chairman of Kwakwani Utilities Incorporated, the provider of electricity to the towns of Kwakwani and neighbouring areas, a position he held up to the time of his passing. In a deluge of tributes, by others, Mr. Webster was eulogised as a man of many colours; a man of character, integrity and kindness. He was a friend to all. Moreover, he was a man of exemplary Board Room skills; a man of immense fortitude

President says move to elections not off the table By Vanessa Narine

-in face of ongoing political gridlock

THE 2014 Appropriation Act, which was passed in the National Assembly on April 16 was assented to by then Acting President Samuel Hinds last Tuesday evening, meeting the required deadline. However, President Donald Ramotar yesterday told this newspaper that resort to general elections is not off the table. His comments followed the acknowledgement of the ongoing challenges his administration faces with the seemingly unending political gridlock that has been the source of many controversies, the most recent of which is the 2014 Budget cuts. “You can’t take this option off the table at all because of the kind of behaviour we are seeing by the Opposition,” he said. NO COOPERATION The President made it clear that the elections route is not the first choice of his Government and he bemoaned the lack of cooperation from the Opposition Parliamentary Parties. He said: “This is not what we would have wanted. If the Opposition was giving a little cooperation, we could move this country forward, but we have had no cooperation over the last two and a half years. We have no help from the Opposition in supporting any of the developmental projects, despite the fact that consultations were held with them extensively. I even told those (Opposition members) if there is any project they have difficulty with, tell me and I will make a presentation on any additional information that is needed. They don’t want that. They want to snipe in a corner at all these projects that will have transformative effects on our country.” The implementation of many programmes and functioning of many entities, including the Office of the President, has been affected by the budget cuts as evidenced where allocations in some areas have been reduced to zero. Under the allocation for the Office of the President, the cuts include: $245M for the Presidential Guard services; $95M for the provision of developmental and humanitarian aid, among other initiatives; $10M for the Office of the First Lady; $73.5M for the Guyana Energy Agency; $119M for the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest); $122M for the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST); $17M for the Integrity Commission; and $28.5M for the Office of the Commissioner of Information. The other cuts include $18.5B for the LCDS initiatives; $450M for loans for University of Guyana students; $725M for the poverty alleviation programme; $7M for the different rights commissions; $795M for the Basic Needs Trust Fund; and $4M for support to non-governmental organisations and the private sector. Also on the chopping block were: the Specialty Hospital – $910M; upgrading of Regional and District Hospitals, including Port Kaituma, Kwakwani, Linden, Bartica, Eye Surgery Operating Room at Linden etc. – $360M; ambulances, ATVs and Boats – $42M; surgical equipment and instruments – $32M; the

Amerindian Development Fund – $1.1B; other Amerindian programmes, such as ATVs, tractors etc. – $40M; the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) modernisation project – $6.6B; Civil Aviation – $50M; and hinterland airstrips – $185M. In total the allocations’ cuts from the 2014 budget represented nine capital programme budgets and one current programme budget. ANTI-DEVELOPMENT According to the Head of State, the Opposition’s actions are clearly indicative of their position on a development thrust, which, at the end of the day, seeks to improve the lives of the Guyanese people. Mr. Ramotar said: “This year’s Budget cut is another area where the Opposition has shown themselves to be totally anti-developmental. They seem to be attacking anything that can help to advance the economic and social development in our society.” He cited the cuts to the allocations geared towards the advancement of the livelihoods of Guyana’s first people, the Amerindians. The President said: “We all know in this country that one of the poorest areas is the hinterland and we have done, since we have been in Government, a lot to help the hinterland areas, the Amerindian communities, to come out of poverty. We have advanced education, health and water supply; all of which are aimed to try to create conditions for the economic development of the Amerindian people. If you look at this Budget, at the Amerindian Development Fund (ADF), it includes allocations that seek to increase the capacity of the various villages. This is what has been targeted for cuts…. we have seen cuts again this year in a totally callous way….I do not know why the Opposition made these vicious cuts.” Ramotar concluded that the Opposition, in particular the main Opposition – A Partnership for National Unity, seems intent on returning the country to the days of underdevelopment and stagnated progress. He said: “Clearly they have an agenda; when they were in Government they drove our country to poverty and now that they are not in Government they seem determined to do the same thing again. The Opposition seems to feel that keeping people in poverty will be better for them; that is the only conclusion I can come to.” This year the cuts totalled a whopping $37.4B, reducing the $220B National Budget to $182.6B. Last year, the combined Opposition cut the budget by $31B; and in 2012

‘This is not what we would have wanted. If the Opposition was giving a little cooperation, we could move this country forward, but we have had no cooperation over the last two and a half years. We have no help from the Opposition in supporting any of the developmental projects, despite the fact that consultations were held with them extensively. I even told those (Opposition members) if there is any project they have difficulty with, tell me and I will make a presentation on any additional information that is needed. They don’t want that. They want to snipe in a corner at all these projects that will have transformative effects on our country.’ by $21B. On January 29 this year, Acting Chief Justice (CJ) Ian Chang ruled that the National Assembly has no right to cut the National Budget. In the Preliminary Ruling given in June 2012, the CJ had ruled that the National Assembly had a role to either approve or disapprove of the National Estimate, not to cut them. A Notice of Appeal of Chief Justice Chang’s decision was filed in February this year by Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Attorney-at-Law Khemraj Ramjattan, on behalf of Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman, who was listed as the appellant in the court.

Dozens killed in Ukraine fighting and fire; OSCE monitors freed (Reuters) - At least 42 people were killed in a street battle between supporters and opponents of Russia in southern Ukraine that ended with dozens of pro-Russian protesters incinerated in a burning building, bringing the country closer to war. Pro-Russian rebels in the east freed seven European military observers on Saturday after holding them hostage for eight days, while Kiev pressed on with its big-

gest military operation so far to reclaim rebel-held territory in the area. The riot in the Black Sea port of Odessa, ending in a deadly blaze in a besieged trade union building, was by far the worst incident in Ukraine since a February uprising that ended with a pro-Russian president fleeing the country. A couple of hundred pro-Russian protesters in the eastern city of Donetsk stormed the governor’s busi-

ness premises and the state security headquarters, ransacking files and smashing windows. The attack reflected growing disorder in the area, targeting as it did a security building that had already been brought under rebel control. “This is for yesterday!” said Tatiana Kamniva outside the governor’s office. “They’re monsters, worse than monsters.” The Odessa clashes spread the violence from the

eastern separatist heartland to an area far from the Russian frontier, raising the prospect of unrest sweeping more broadly across a country of around 45 million people the size of France. The Kremlin, which has massed tens of thousands of soldiers on Ukraine’s eastern border and proclaims the right to invade to protect Russian speakers, said the government in Kiev and its Western backers were responsible for the deaths.

Afghan landslide rescue focuses on displaced By Mirwais Harooni and Jeremy Laurence

(Reuters) - Afghan officials

gave up hope on Saturday of finding any survivors from a landslide in the remote northeast, with the

number killed or missing put at between a few hundred and as many as 2,700. The United Nations said

the focus now was on helping more than 4,000 displaced people. International organizations and Afghan officials said at least 300 mud brick homes were buried on Friday,

but precise information on the number killed was hard to come by in the impoverished province bordering Tajikistan. The U.N. mission in Afghanistan said more than 350 people were killed, but a spokesman for the local governor put the number in excess of 2,100. The Geneva-based International Organization for Migration (IOM) said 2,700 were dead or missing. “The scale of this landslide is absolutely devastating, with an entire village practically wiped away,” IOM Afghanistan Chief of

03/05/2014

Mission Richard Danziger said. “Hundreds of families have lost everything and are in immense need of assistance.” The United Nations said the focus was now on the more than 4,000 people displaced, either directly as a result of the landslide or as a precautionary measure from villages assessed to be at risk. The IOM said over 14,000 people were affected. Their main needs are water, medicine, food and emergency shelter, said Ari Gaitanis, a spokesman from the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.

Honduras child killings: Probe into ‘gang links’

SNUB FOR AG

Probe into unethical lawyers: prison officers refuse to meet with Anand By Asha Javeed

Police in Honduras and neighbouring El Salvador and Guatemala are struggling to deal with violent criminal gangs (Killings photo)

(BBC News) Honduran authorities are investigating the deaths of at least seven children who may have been murdered after refusing to join criminal gangs. In the latest case, police found the body of a sevenyear-old boy who appeared to have been tortured. His 13-year-old brother was found dead a day before. All the crimes took place over the last month in an area dominated by street gangs in the industrial city of San

Pedro Sula. Honduras has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Correspondents say most of the violence is caused by the constant battling between the country’s main maras, or street gangs - Mara 18 and Mara Salvatrucha - which have claimed tens of thousands of lives. Honduras’ attorney general, Oscar Fernando Chinchilla, travelled to the northern city on Friday to oversee

the investigations. The attorney general insisted the involvement of criminal gangs was just one of the lines of investigation. Police investigators, however, had already said they believed street gangs were behind the killings. The violent maras are also believed to be responsible for thousands of killings in neighbouring Central American countries such as El Salvador and Guatemala.

Ferret out corruption, PAJ chair tells journalists By Jodi-Ann Gilpin, Staff Reporter (The Gleaner) As the country continues to battle with incidents of corruption, a call is being made for the media to play their part in ensuring that those responsible are held accountable. Wyvolyn Gager, chairman of the Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) Advisory Council and former editor-in-chief at The Gleaner, believes the media have to be more strident in strengthening institutions such as the Office of the Contractor General (OCG) in order to fulfil its mandate of eradicating corruption. “Corruption retards economic and social development and it drives away investment. Democracy is strengthened when we properly investigate and report on corruption,” she said, while addressing persons at the World Press Freedom Day Forum that was held yesterday at the Knutsford Court Hotel in St Andrew. “Democracy is also

strengthened when the media ensure that the institutions established to ensure accountability are protected from overzealous politicians who would seek to strip them of their authority. I must make reference to the OCG. There are Government and private-sector interests who argue that the office is a deterrent to development, however, please let us not allow special interests and politicians to strip that office of its authority and weaken it,” she urged. Protect public The chairman also called on the media to be diligent in protecting the rights of the public. “Jamaica is rated as the most corrupt country in the Western Hemisphere yet there are so few stories about corruption in our media. Who are these corrupt individuals and what activities are they involved in?” she asked. “Yes, I know the libel laws are stringent, however, I feel that with diligent research and tenacity we

could do a much better job. Journalism should not be a chore and you cannot merely follow orders - your duty is to do what is right and never be blind to what is wrong,” she declared. In the meantime, Alison Bethel McKenzie, executive director of the International Press Institute (IPI), who was guest speaker at the event, said it is imperative that the media make every effort to practise their craft professionally. “While many journalists continue to encounter obstacles in exercising their profession freely, it is of absolute importance that journalists pursue their jobs ethically,” she charged. McKenzie noted that with media freedom comes responsibility, not statutory responsibility, but voluntary standards and ethical practices. “The fundamental standards of accuracy, fairness and balance are essential and I urge all of us to pride ourselves on fair and professional reporting,” said McKenzie.

(Trinidad Express) The Prison Officers Association (POA) has refused to meet with Attorney General Anand Ramlogan to discuss concerns about attorneys and prison inmates involved in prison litigation against the State. Their refusal comes two days after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar ignored calls for Ramlogan to step aside from any probe involving his ministry and lawyers in prison litigation

and instructed him to meet with various stakeholders to address the POA complaints. In refusing Ramlogan’s invitation to meet at his ministry on Monday, the POA maintains that only an independent investigation done on the matter would be adequate to determine why certain cases were settled and judgments filed in default for others. Those issues, said president of the POA Ceron Richards, were important as money paid to prisoners

could be ploughed into improving the prisons. Richards told the Express that he was not being “disrespectful” but “the AG’s office is central to this matter and we reject any call for such a meeting”. “Our consistent and clear call is for an independent investigation,” he said. In a statement issued on Friday, the POA said it was disappointed by Persad-Bissessar’s decision to appoint Ramlogan to a team to address their concerns.

Editorial FITUG’S PRESIDENT CHALLENGE TO GTUC’S LINCOLN LEWIS … Guyana

HE HAD it coming for a long time. Now, finally, it has happened with the open challenge by President of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions (FITUG) Carville Duncan, against the harmful political meanderings of the GTUC’s General Secretary, Lincoln Lewis. Duncan, who also heads the Guyana Labour Union, of which the indomitable national hero, Hubert Nathaniel Crichlow was founder-president, chose the occasion of last Thursday’s “Labour Day’ to challenge Lewis to engage with FITUG to resolve the old divisive issue over the government’s annual subvention to the Crichlow Labour College (CLC). Suspension of the subvention had resulted in persistent financial problems for the Labour College. However, even after a decision was taken to resume the subsidy with a view to including also FITUG in the decision, along with the GTUC, there came the quite strange and unprecedented development of a unilateral action taken by someone in authority to send back the entire subsidy package WITHOUT ANY prior consultation with those in the GTUC who are entitled to be involved. The crux of the problem is that this unilateral decision, which would have been embarrassing not only for the executive decision-makers of the Crichlow Lablour College, or the GTUC in general, but also for the parliamentarians of the National Assembly who had approved the release of the

subvention. The inconvenient truth is that someone, bent on misusing his authority, chose to unilaterally determine for the approved subvention to be rudely sent back and leave the Labour College to continue struggling with its operational problems while, at the wider national level, perpetuating divisions between the GTUC and FITUG—a problem that’s neither in the interest of organised labour nor the country in general. Mr. Duncan was quite clear in his disclosure at the Labour Day rally that the finger pointed to the GTUC’s Mr. Lewis for that provocative unilateral decision to “send back the subvention where it came from ...” The FITUG leader went on to make an open invitation to Mr. Lewis for civilised dialogue between GTUC and FITUG to overcome prevailing divisions in the interest of the labour movement and proper functioning of the Labour College. Those who are familiar with Lewis’ trademark hostility towards PPP-led administrations as a very divisive activist of the PNC may not hold out much hope for a positive response from him to the FITUG President’s call for dialogue to overcome divisions and, more immediately, ensure availability of and accountability for the approved subvention for the Crichlow Labour College. We would like to be surprised by Lincoln Lewis and his small group of dissenters. Ultimately, the leaders of

unions comprising what remains of a once broad-based united GTUC must stand up and be counted for the immediate resolution of availability of the subvention for the Labour College and then move towards the wider and most desirable challenge for dialogue on labour movement unity as commendably called for by FITUG’s Carville Duncan.

Sovereignty of Guyana must be respected -President Ramotar By Vanessa Narine

THE Guyana Government last Wednesday disclosed its move to revoke the work permit, visa and the extension of stay of International Republican Institute (IRI) resident Country Director Glenn Bradbury, a local United States Embassy employee. And leaders of the Opposition parties, A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) David Granger and the Alliance For Change’s (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan, have since expressed concerns about a tit-for-tat scenario playing out with the United States. Bradbury is responsible for the implementation of the controversial $300M United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) project, which has been rejected by the Government of Guyana. However, President Donald Ramotar yesterday told the Guyana Chronicle that despite the hiccup that is the LEAD programme, Guyana and the United States continue to share strong relations. He said: “We have excellent PRESIDENT relations with the United States. DONALD RAMOTART We have good cooperation with the country in many areas of activity, such as in the security sector. “We have no other issue with the United States, except on this issue (the LEAD project) where the Government has refused to accept the imposition of a project that we have not approved. “…I hope the US will not take this kind of position (tit-for-tat). They ought to respect the sovereignty of our country.” Mr. Ramotar surmised that the Opposition is seemingly willing to compromise on the nation’s sovereignty, as evidenced by their comments on the matter. “This is a project that the Government never agreed to. We were not part of any forum that developed this programme and the bottom line is that we do not agree with the project in its totality,” the President said. NO BREAKDOWN Similar sentiments were expressed by Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon. He made it clear that bilateral relations between Guyana and the United States are not on the verge of a breakdown. “The notion that there exists an issue between our governments

that would allow us to contemplate a rupture in the relationship should not be entertained….once a sovereign state exercises its own sovereignty and own judgment about what is in its own national interests, it will generate unease, conflict, disappointment with other states and that is what diplomatic relations are all about,” Luncheon said, speaking at an April 16 post-Cabinet press briefing at Office of the President. Dr. Luncheon stated also that Government finds provocative the implementation of activities with regards to LEAD project by the

Dr ROGER LUNCHEON

US AMBASSADOR BRENDT HARDT

U.S. Embassy in Guyana, despite Government’s disapproval and concern with the impact this would have on the sound bi-lateral relationship that exists between Guyana and the U.S. The first component of it seeks to encourage consensus-building in the National Assembly and facilitate more effective interaction between the Assembly and citizens. The second component aims to strengthen the effectiveness of the National Assembly and boost citizen engagement with Parliament. The third aspect of LEAD is to motivate and better equip Guyanese youths to constructively engage in political and civic processes, and the fourth involves civic and voter education relating to elections and local government reform. The current administration is at present awaiting a “timely and official” word from the United States Ambassador to Guyana, Brent Hardt on Government’s reiteration of both its willingness to engage in talks over the project, as well as the condition that the implementation of the project be halted to facilitate talks. FIRST IN TWO DECADES In a prior interview, Presidential Adviser on Governance, Ms. Gail Teixeira, had said the current position of U.S. officials is a

departure from the usual bilateral relations existing between the two countries. She said: “The problem with the LEAD project is that it is a breach of the normal bilateral relations, as well as that the content has concerns for the Government – concerns which we expressed. “This is the first time in 20 years that a project has not gone through that process. It has never happened between 1992 and 2012, and we are not agreeing to it because of the rejection of the Government’s participation.” Teixeira questioned why the Government was not involved in the consultations on the project. She stated that the Guyana Government and the American Administration have worked together over the last decades on US-funded projects. “It has always been a collaborative effort, in which we have agreed on a design of a project and the implementation of that project,” she said. Referring to examples of the unchallenged implementation of projects that addressed the Ms GAIL TEIXEIRA issue of democracy, Teixeira said: “I was part of other projects that dealt with democracy: the Consolidation of Democracy project, which ran from 2004 to 2006; and the more recent one, from 2009 to 2012, which dealt with trafficking in persons and violence against women and such. “In all of this, we sat with USAID and the U.S. Embassy to consult on the project over several days, some several weeks, and we came to agreement and the projects were signed off.” She therefore maintained that the Government’s position has been made clear, and remains unchanged in relation to the LEAD project. “Were the LEAD project to have gone through the protocol over the last 20 years, we probably would have come to an agreement and fine-tuned the number of concerns we had, which we have had with other projects with USAID,” Teixeira said. She said what was provided to Government was a “done deal”, rejected by Government primarily on that basis. “The main problem is the way in which the project is being implemented,” Teixeira reiterated. The project was not approved by Cabinet, and this was formally indicated to the relevant authorities on October 26, 2013.

Two Achievements That Grabbed My Attention By Keith Burrowes

THIS week, I want to focus on two sets of extraordinary achievements of sorts. The first is not so clearly apparent – recently, Somali-American teenager, Ubah Mohammed Abdulle, wishing to unite with the mother he thought was dead did the impossible and survived. According to one online report, his mother recounted his ordeal: “Authorities say her son Yahya hopped a fence at the San Jose airport, evaded security and stowed away in the wheel well of the Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 767 several hours before it left for Maui. He miraculously survived temperatures approaching minus-85 and little oxygen during the 5½hour flight. Video showed him emerging from the jet's landing gear in Hawaii before being picked up by airport security. He remains

in a Hawaiian hospital, and it is not clear when he might return to the San Francisco Bay Area.” For me, this story not only presents a powerful human drama, that of a young man risking his life to be with a loved one, however hair-brained his scheme might have seemed, but it also presents him in an incidental heroic light as well. At a time when countries are doing their utmost to protect the lives of their citizens from terrorist attacks in the post-9/11 era, what he did has exposed potential gaps in the security system, ones that no doubt will be filled in the wake of this incident. Considering Abdulle’s background, he could easily have been radicalized and accessed the same plane for purposes other than that he did it for, and I believe that the authorities should, if quietly, find some way of engaging his help in showing how he accessed the plane,

Keith Burrowes

and then compensate him for his cooperation in doing so. The second has to do with a more straightforward achievement, also from an American of African heritage. Recently, 17-year-old Ghanaian American Kwasi Enin

For Sunday May 4, 2014 - 05:30hrs For Monday May 5, 2014 - 08:30hrs

achieved the rare feat of being accepted to all eight ivy league colleges in the US: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale.

According to Time magazine’s article on his achievement: “Enin, a straight A student who scored a 2,250 on his SAT exam, applied to all of the nation’s Ivy League schools on a whim and beat the odds when all eight of the notoriously selective…sent him a letters of acceptance.” For those of my readers who don’t quite know what an ivy league college is, in brief, it means that these institutions represent the height of excellence and academic elitism in American tertiary education, with seven out of the eight being founded since America was a colony of England. In a country that remains burdened with serious racial issues, from the Trayvon Martin to Donald Sterling furores, even in the era of President Barack Obama, himself the child of an African immigrant and a graduate of

the ivy league institution of Harvard, Enin’s achievement has special connotations for both minority Americans and immigrant Americans. Even as the American right wing, particularly the Tea Party, continues to rant about the stereotypical ‘laziness’ and ‘poor intelligence of immigrants, we have the child of arguably the most looked down upon of immigrants, those from the continent of Africa, not struggling to get into some mid-level university and scraping in by some affirmative action quota, but being accepted to every single top education institution. I would like to bet that some young child of Guyanese parentage, who represent one of the relatively largest immigrant populations in the US, with an immigrant population rivaling the national population, can one day equal or better Enin’s achievement.

THE KILLING OF DR RODNEY IN ‘BURNHAM ERA’ POLITICS - public probe and serious questions finally underway

AT LAST, more than three decades after being killed in a bomb blast on the night of June 13, 1980 at the height of widespread anti-government political disturbances in his homeland, an official enquiry got underway in Guyana last Monday to determine the circumstances of the death of the internationally renowned historian and political activist, Dr. Walter Rodney. The much celebrated author of the seminal work, “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa,” was then 38 years old. As a co-leader of the militant Working People’s Alliance (WPA), the popular charismatic Rodney was in the frontline of mass protests against the highly controversial long-serving government of the People’s National Congress (PNC) led by Executive President, Forbes Burnham. A sergeant of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), known as Gregory Smith, was allegedly involved in the delivery of a walkie-talkie in which was concealed a remote-controlled bomb. It exploded in Rodney’s lap while he was being driven through the city of Georgetown by one of his brothers, Donald Rodney. Smith was subsequently exposed as an “agent” of the PNC government. As Guyanese were learning of the very shocking tragedy that night, subsequent reports were to reveal how an ex-sergeant, an electronic expert of the local army, Gregory Smith, was allegedly facilitated by President Burnham’s administration to be flown out of Guyana and taken to nearby French Guiana. There he was to remain, marry and die of natural cause after a period of illness. Subsequent efforts by a People’s Progressive Party government of then President L.F.S BURNHAM Dr. Cheddi Jagan (now deceased) had failed to secure Smith’s extradition to participate in an inquiry into the circumstances of Rodney’s death. The government in Paris had explained that consistent with its opposition to the death penalty it was guided by a policy against the extradition of any French national who was likely to face execution on a trial for murder. When, as a regional correspondent of the Caribbean News Agency (CANA)—I managed to locate Gregory Smith in Cayenne for a telephone conversation, the ex-GDF sergeant was most reluctant to discuss the tragedy of Rodney’s death. He, however, finally claimed that what occurred “was an accident” and he was sorry, but preferred to be left alone. He subsequently died. “ACCIDENT”? “Accident”? He would go no further. Donald Rodney’s testimony should be quite helpful. He had been given the parcel in which Smith had placed the “walkie-talkie” for Rodney to test as a communication device in the WPA’s ongoing campaign against what was openly branded as the “Burnham dictatorship.” A subsequent Coroner’s inquest, initiated largely as a consequence of vigorous efforts by Kwayana, was to conclude that death may have resulted from “accident or misadventure” although it had failed to pursue established norms of scientific and other inquiries. For its part, even after the passing of President Burnham back in 1985 while in office, his party, the PNC, never showed any serious interest in demands for an independent inquiry into the circumstances of Rodney’s death. Now a new chapter is being written into Guyana’s turbulent pre-and post- independence political history with the independent probe currently underway by three well recognised Caribbean legal luminaries. Under the chairmanship

of Barbados’s Queen’s Counsel, Sir Richard Cheltenham the two others are Jamaica’s Q.C Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, and Guyana-born Senior Counsel, Seenauth Jairam, who resides and works in Trinidad and Tobago. But for those, at home and abroad, familiar with the politics of the PNC-which had acquired a unique record in the Caribbean Region for electoral rigging over a quarter century to maintain political power- they may not be surprised to know that this party has decided to boycott participation in the public inquiry into Rodney’s death. Currently led by David Granger, a retired brigadier of the GDF, the PNC has given no reason(s) for boycotting the Commission of Enquiry. While there have been expressed reservations over the terms of reference of the Commission, the WPA, currently chaired by Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, is participating. PNC’S POSTURINGS Among its chosen representatives for this mission would be perhaps one of the most unique cultural/political personalities in Guyana and within CARICOM-Eusi Kwayana. A

DR WALTER RODNEY

GREGORY SMITH

founding co-leader of the WPA, Kwayana has been quite instrumental in campaigning for an independent probe into what he openly addresses as “Rodney’s assassination”. Ironically, following the 2011 general elections, and now 38 years after the death of Rodney from the exploded

bomb that ripped his body apart, the WPA is functioning as a parliamentary ally of the PNC in a coalition arrangement under the name of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), with Granger as chairman and Roopnarine his deputy. Despite their own domestic political bacchanal even Trinidadians could wryly remark: “Yuh think politics easy in Guyana! For its part, the PNC under Granger’s leadership, seems to lack the stomach to participate in the current public inquiry and have settled to make self-serving muted noise via the media. What pathetic behaviour by the PNC for an independent public inquiry into the single most notorious, unprecedented act of political murder of a son of Guyana whose admirable scholarship and commitment to human rights and social justice had earned him worldwide recognition! However, the brothers of the late historian, including Donald Rodney-who was with him in the car at the time of his death-are among those to lead evidence. For her part, a once leading activist of the WPA, Karen De Souza, currently a militant human rights advocate, lost no time in telling the Commission of Inquiry that there were sufficient evidence to establish that the Burnham-led ruling PNC’s was directly involved in Rodney’s death via a remote-control bomb which was secretly concealed in a walkie-talkie delivered in a bag by ex-GDF sergeant, Gregory Smith. From President Burnham, to his successor, the also late President Desmond Hoyte and subsequent PNC leadership of Robert Corbin and currently David Granger, there seems to be NO ONE in this party sufficiently committed and equipped intellectually, morally and spiritually to appear before the three-member Commission of Inquiry. Not even, apparently, to help weaken doubts about Dr. Rodney as an assassination victim of the party that held political power for almost a quarter century based on DOCUMENTED fraudulent national elections until 1992! Last week’s feeble, pathetic attempt to, instead, cast doubts on the independence of the Commission’s chairman, would be seen by impartial observers as pure mischief, and in the context of an earlier attempt to do just that against another member of the inquiry. We must await the Commission’s verdict.

Donetsk Is Not Sarajevo WITH due apologies to God, Voltaire and the Ukrainians, I must point out that if Ukraine did not exist, it would not be necessary to invent it. It is not a great power, it has no resources the world cannot do without, and it is not a “vital strategic interest” to anybody except the Ukrainians themselves. Not even to the Russians, although they are acting at the moment as though it were. Bosnia was nobody’s vital strategic interest either. It isn’t now, and it wasn’t a hundred years ago. But Bismarck warned in 1898 that if there VLADIMIR PUTIN was ever another major war in Europe, it would come out of “some damned silly thing in the Balkans,” and an assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 fulfilled his prophecy to the letter. Some things have changed since then, however. The next world war will not come out of Ukraine (which is only slightly north-east of the Balkans) no matter what happens in the next few weeks and months. Russia might invade Ukraine, there might even be a new Cold War for a while, but there will be no fighting in Europe beyond Ukraine’s borders. Indeed, apart from the Balkans there has been no full-scale war in Europe for the past 69 years, and there was never the

slightest risk that the fighting in the 1990s would spread beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. Indeed, there was probably never a single day during the 45 years of the Cold War when either side seriously considered attacking the other. The reason was simple: they knew what would happen next, even if neither side used the thousands of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Twice in thirty years, in 1914-18 and 1939-45, a major war using modern weapons had been fought over almost all of Europe’s territory. On the first occasion, they lost a generation of young men. The second time, most countries from Germany eastwards lost around ten percent of their populations killed – and most of the casualties that time were civilians. Half of the continent’s great historic cities were reduced to ruins even without the help of nuclear weapons. It was a very expensive education, but the Europeans did finally

BRICS & India

(As the general election in India is now underway, I present the article ‘BRICS & India’ published in Modern Diplomacy, International Edition and read 2,379 times in that publication) NOT too long ago, the economic invincibility of the developed world seemed immovable. But then BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and now with the addition of South Africa becoming BRICS are on the world stage as serious contenders. Today, the BRICS countries, with a third of the world’s land mass, more than 43% of the world’s population, 18% of the global trade, and 20% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), have now attained a level of economic importance since 2006 that may see no turning back. And those BRICS countries are now a political reality (Mielniczuk, 2013). While the international financial meltdown in 2008 produced economic crises in the developed world, BRICS demonstrated steady development and even outperformed some developed countries. For instance, when in 2009, the economies of Japan and Germany declined by 6%, Brazil sustained its growth, India’s economy showed a 5.9% growth and China 8.1%; Russia’s economy declined by 7% (Biggemann and Fam, 2011). When in 2012, the GDP growth for the USA was 2.2%, Japan 1.9%, Canada 1.7%, Germany 0.7%, and the United Kingdom 0.3%, BRICS largely outperformed the developed nations with GDP growth for Brazil at 0.9%, Russia 3.4%, India 3.2%, China 7.8%, and South Africa 2.5% ( http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG). Reviewing the 2009 real GDP statistics, the World Bank noted that Brazil took the spot as the world’s 10th largest economy, Russia 13th, India 11th, and China 3rd; in 2009, the BRICS economies together were equivalent to 50% of the world’s largest economy, the U.S. economy. But 10 years back in 1999, Brazil was the world’s 10th largest economy, Russia 15th, India 16th, and China 7th; and together they were equivalent to 30% of the U.S. economy. The World Bank further noted that between 1999 and 2009, the U.S. economy grew by 20%, Brazil’s growth was 36%, with Russia 69%, India 92%, and China was 2.5 times richer. BRICS countries are now key players in the emerging economies’ world dominance; and with this emerging dominance of BRICS, some economies ‘Today, the BRICS countries, with a in the developed world are third of the world’s land mass, more now on the defensive. BRICS than 43% of the world’s population, countries continue to transform 18% of the global trade, and 20% of the Wallerstein’s world system world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), theory, among others, where have now attained a level of economic for decades, if not centuries, importance since 2006 that may see under different ideological lano turning back. And those BRICS bels, there have been unequal countries are now a political reality.’ economic and political relationships between the developed and the developing world. BRICS countries persisted in the knowledge and applications that they will not allow themselves to remain in a state of permanent dependence. And they have moved on by removing the foundations of permanent dependence vis-à-vis making a dent on export dependency, the debt trap, and multinational corporations, as these remain poor nations’ predators. The author presents a comparative focus on India in relation to the BRICS countries, as India debatably is the least formidable of the BRICS countries in terms of economic dominance. And using India, and perhaps any of the other BRICS country, may demonstrate that poverty is not a permanent condition, and many small, poor economies could strive for betterment vis-à-vis applying the BRICS model, where appropriate. Of course, you would need far more than the BRICS model to transform poverty into surplus. Drawing mainly from the IMF World Economic Outlook, India carried a 3.5% economic growth rate from the 1950s through the 1970s, sporting a stagnant economy for almost three decades. But in the period 2000-2005, India experienced just over 6% average GDP growth rate, less than 5% inflation, and all BRICS countries had about 10% unemployment; and in 2005, India’s GDP volume was about US$800 billion and its GDP per capita tottered around US$1,000. Among BRICS countries in terms of GDP composition in 2004, India had the largest agricultural sector with a growing service sector; India had no current account surplus in 2005, when the other BRICS countries did; and in the same year had a small amount of foreign reserves, approximating US$150 billion. Extracting data from the IMF World Economic Outlook (2011 and 2012), here are some selected statistics for India and the other BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, China, and South Africa) in 2010: India’s real GDP was 10.6% (Brazil 7.5%, Russia 4.3%, China 10.4%, and

South Africa 2.9%). In 2011, India’s real GDP was 7.2% with the other BRICS countries as follows: Brazil 2.7%, Russia 4.3%, China 9.2%, and South Africa 3.1%). In 2011, India’s balance on current account was -2.8% of GDP (Brazil -2.1%, Russia 5.5%, China 2.8%, and South Africa -3.3%) and projected to be -3.2% in 2012; India’s consumer prices were 5.4% (Brazil 6.6%, Russia 8.4%, China 8.6%, and South Africa 5.0%) and projected to be 8.2% in 2012. As stated earlier, in 2012, GDP growth for Brazil was 0.9%, Russia 3.4%, India 3.2%, China 7.8%, and South Africa 2.5% ( http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG). On the basis of these selected data, India continues to be the weakling among the BRICS countries on average growth rate, consumer prices, and balance on current account. And its faltering growth rate may be gradually regressing toward the average GDP growth of 6% it had between 2000 and 2005. A high growth rate is necessary for a growing population and a growing workforce, and also a critical economic indicator to maintain its status within BRICS. In addition, India would need an active Knowledge Economy (KE) to sustain a high growth rate that has a relationship with total factor productivity (TFP); TFP is the nation’s capability to create and use knowledge. And the World Bank projected that India’s TFP will grow by more than 50% in 2020 than what it was in 1991/92. Nevertheless, in light of the IMF World Economic Outlook 2011 and 2012 statistics on

India, it may be worth revisiting the concerns raised in the following: Das et al. (2010) found that in the 1980-2004 period productivity was moderate with pointed fluctuations; and productivity increases arose largely out of technical change, as there was little efficiency over the last 30 years (Alejandro, Yu, & Fan, 2009). The World Bank (2005) noted that India would need to develop policies concentrating on effectively utilising knowledge to increase productivity and the nation’s welfare. And, invariably, some people refer to this knowledge economy as ICT industries. The World Bank suggests that KE is broader; KE refers to how an economy channels and applies new and existing knowledge to raise productivity and total welfare; for this reason, KE will make a difference between poverty and wealth. India is forging ahead at a brisk pace with its KE. And perhaps, small, poor countries around the world, in order to rid themselves of their poverty, would have to show more than keen interest in KE, and start intensively building KE to spur economic growth; and to ensure that that economic growth reaches the poor and vulnerable population. What is challenging for India is that its real GDP declined from 10.6% in 2010 to 3.2% in 2012, and its current account balance is now negative (where domestic investments are funded through foreigners’ savings) and way behind Russia and China. Only a few days ago, the IMF reduced its growth forecast from 5.6% to 3.8% for this fiscal year, and the rupee (India’s local currency) fell in the wake of this IMF’s forecast. And so India’s quest to becoming a robust knowledge economy remains a formidable challenge, as a consistently high growth rate requires a KE. And would India be able to sustain its status as a constituent of BRICS?

First session of COI into Dr Walter Rodney’s death concludes

Testimonies show PNC government’s direct involvement By Telesha Ramnarine THE first session of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the death of former historian/politician Dr. Walter Rodney, who was assassinated some 33 years ago, came to an end last Friday and the second nine-day session will begin on May 27. The four-day hearings last week revealed the horrific and frightening political climate which pervaded Guyana during the People’s National Congress’s (PNC) rule where citizens were not only denied the basic human and constitutional rights, but were inflicted with severe violence when they sought to enjoy and exercise those rights. The hearings were opened in the Supreme Court Law Library in Georgetown last Monday by Chairman of the Commission of

The Commission’s Lead Counsel Glen Hanoman

work and I am happy that people are coming forward. I will reserve further comments for later,” he said. Here’s a recap of what transpired during the first session of the hearings: Monday 28: Two witness to remain anonymous for now; Secret surveillance files on Rodney presented to COI Lead Counsel Hanoman, during his opening comments, informed that one of the witnesses to testify in the COI is expected to speak about his personal assignment to infiltrate the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), for which Dr. Rodney was co-founder, and to carry out acts of “subterfuge and assassination.” He said he preferred to let this witness, and one more remain anonymous for the time being because they have expressed safety and security

Officials of the PPP and PNC at the hearings

Inquiry (COI) Richard Cheltenham and the first witness, Senior Superintendent of Police Leslie James, attached to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) was called to give evidence. Three other witnesses were called during the week namely, Lawrence Edward Rodney, eldest sibling of the deceased Rodney; Reverend Reuben Gilbert, friend and supporter of Dr. Rodney; and Karen De Souza, Red Thread Coordinator. The Commission’s Lead Counsel, Glen Hanoman and his team of lawyers, Latchmie Rahamat and Nicola Pierre, have only managed to complete the testimony of one witness namely, Reverend Gilbert, and hence the other three witnesses will be returning during the second session, either to continue giving their evidence or to be cross-examined. Evidence will also be taken from more witnesses as many persons are still coming forward to indicate their willingness to testify in the COI. According to Rahamat, in an invited comment, all of the witnesses could not be completed during the first session because of the nature of the evidence that is coming forth. “There is so much to say of what happened during that time. People who are coming to testify are people who were physically there or was affected some way or another.” Meanwhile, President Donald Ramotar last Friday lauded the work of the COI so far and observed that Reverend Reuben Gilbert it is being done in a after giving testimony on thorough fashion. “The Tuesday committee is doing its

concerns. This witness will testify about his membership in the Special Squad of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), which has been referred to as the ‘Death Squad’ and about surveillance work done by it, including its attendance at WPA meetings. Further, the witness will reveal details about his having to report to Laurie Lewis, Cecil ‘Skip’ Roberts and Norman Mc Clean and taking directions from them as the “intellectual authors.” Meanwhile, first time evidence, previously reported to the commission as non-existent, was presented. The secret files are original documents that contain detailed accounts of surveillance activities of Rodney. The surveillance files of the special branch of the GPF were presented as evidence by Leslie James. Tuesday 29: PNC Gov’t killed Rodney; House of Israel breaks up WPA meetings, beat up supporters De Souza, during her testimony, said she was associated with the WPA in the 1970’s, and that her initial opinion after she learned that Dr Rodney was dead was that he had “finally” been killed by the People’s National Congress (PNC) Government. She recalled arriving on the scene moments after Rodney was killed in a white car on Friday June 13, 1980. De Souza referred to the “very serious adversarial posture of the WPA and the PNC,” and “the fact that at more than one of the PNC rallies, Prime Minister Forbes Burnham had been uttering threats about making wills and so forth; that people in the worst possible alternative should make their wills… and that the steel of the PNC was sharper than any steel that the WPA might have.” De Souza said some of these threats were made at the Square of the Revolution at what might have been a PNC anniversary rally. Furthermore, the fact that two other party members were also killed before Rodney also fuelled her feeling about the PNC’s involvement. Ohene Koama was shot in Shirley Field Ridley Square and Edward Dublin in Linden. Both of these murders occurred prior to 1980. An inquest was held into the Koama killing and “the public attitude of the government was this is what happens when you oppose us.” No one was ever charged with these murders to the best of De Souza’s knowledge. She informed that the WPA was totally opposed to many of the policies and behaviour of the PNC and hence the WPA was no friend of the PNC. She recalled how when she attended WPA meetings in 1979, some were broken up by the ‘Death Squad.’ The ‘Death Squad’ wore plain clothes and

was particularly vicious, De Souza said, adding that the attackers were usually armed with police batons, arms and hockey sticks and they had no problem using them on persons who were unarmed. The other witness called was Dr Rodney’s eldest brother, Lawrence Edward Rodney. He testified that the GPF acted in conjunction with the House of Israel (HOI) t o b re a k u p peaceful pickets held by the WPA and the People’s Progressive Party (PPP). He related how the GPF was at the time acting as an arm of the ruling PNC and Crime Chief Leslie James was was being used the COI’s first witness to intimidate any enemy of the ruling party. Rodney said whenever the HOI disrupted meetings by the PPP and WPA, the police never approached them. In fact, the police had strong reservations about restraining the HOI, he said. During 1977 and 1978, he witnessed this type of be- Red Thread Coordinator Karen haviour by the De Souza giving her testimony police on several occasions like at Kitty Market, Merriman’s Mall and La Penitence, opposite Twins Drugs Store. He said whenever the HOI came out in public, their general posture and demeanour showed their loyalty to the PNC Government. They also carried such slogans Eldest brother of the deas: “Down with ceased Rodney, Lawrence the WPA” and Edward Rodney makes a point “We don’t want during his testimony Rodney.” There is no doubt that preferential treatment was given to the HOI, Rodney disclosed, and whenever they disrupted meetings, the HOI was known for throwing bricks, beating people with sticks, cutting wires at meetings, etc. According to Rodney, Gregory Smith, also known as Cyril Johnson, accused of Rodney’s murder was also a member of the HOI. He said he knows this because he once saw him walking on Russell Street decked in the uniform See page 12

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine APRIL 28-MAY 3, 2014 MONDAY 28 President roasts stubborn Opposition for not putting country first PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has chastised Guyana’s political Opposition for its blatant anti-national and anti-developmental thrust, accusing it of deliberately trying to sabotage the development of the country and the bright future of the Guyanese citizens. He also lamented the fact that the combined Opposition, comprising the APNU and AFC, would not yield to reason or allow better sense to prevail in allowing for the passage of the crucial Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill, in order for Guyana to avoid becoming internationally blacklisted. PSC’s Ron Webster loses battle with cancer CHAIRMAN of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Mr. Ronald Webster, passed away Sunday morning at approximately 03:30 hrs at the Balwant Singh Hospital, after losing a long and arduous battle with cancer. He was 72. Over the past three months, Webster had sought medical treatment at a private institution in Trinidad, and had returned home for further treatment only on April 26. Webster had been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Caribbean Container Inc; Chairman of the Board of the Kwakwani Utilities Inc; and Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC). Now that Webster is not there, Mr. Ramesh Persaud, Vice-President of the PSC, will act as Chairman until elections are held. Golden Arrow Airways nearing certification to operate countrywide GOLDEN Arrow Airways (GAA) has moved closer to certification status to begin domestic flights across Guyana with its demonstration flight to Hampton Court, Essequibo Coast, Timehri, East Bank Demerara and back to Ogle International Airport, East Coast Demerara. The Trislander aircraft is powered by three engines and comfortably seats 17 passengers and operates out of CAMS Hangar at Ogle. It was piloted by Captain Learie Barclay, who took the media and the Certification Officer, Egbert Field, accompanied by the owners on a demonstration flight. The tri-engine Trislander aircraft has the same capacity as the Caravan and can fly on two engines if one fails and it is one of the safest aircraft of its kind and is attached to GAA. ********************************************* TUESDAY 29 Secret ‘surveillance’ files on Rodney presented to COI FIRST time evidence, previously reported to the Commission’s lead counsel, Glen Hanoman, as non-existent, was presented Monday during day one of hearings of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the death of Dr. Walter Rodney. The secret files are “original” documents that contain detailed accounts of surveillance activities of Rodney. The hearings, held at the Supreme Court’s Law Library, High Street, were declared open by Chairman of the COI, Sir Richard Cheltenham, who noted that ‘hearsay’ along with opinions will be taken into evidence during the course of the hearings. The “surveillance files” of the “special branch” of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) were presented as evidence by Head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Leslie James as part of his testimony. Non Pariel man strangles wife, hangs self DOMESTIC violence in a 13-year marriage led to the deaths of 28-year old Nadanie Mohan, also known as Michelle, and 31-year old Vickram Ramdin, also known as Vickie, of 255 Section ‘D’ Non Pariel, East Coast Demerara. The couple got married while Mohan was still 16 but they had been going through an abusive relationship which has been engaging the attention of the courts. The couple was found dead in their home. The man reportedly strangled his wife before hanging himself in the same house which had been locked tight. Father of three killed in accident at Ogle, ECD TWENTY-NINE year old Wayne Giddings of Sparendaam Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara, met his demise moments after venturing out to secure a job, leaving his reputed wife and three children at home. The man was riding his pedal cycle along the railway embankment at approximately 08.30 hrs when, in the vicinity of Ogle, he reportedly rode out from behind a minibus that was headed west towards Georgetown

and ended up in the path of a car headed east, in the direction from whence he had come. The man reportedly fell and hit his head, apparently triggering the onset of paranoia, which caused him to run up the road until he ended up in another village, just a corner away from where the accident occurred. ********************************************* WEDNESDAY 30 PNC Gov’t killed Rodney COORDINATOR of Red Thread Karen De Souza, who was associated with the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) in the 1970’s, said her initial opinion after she learned that party founder, Dr. Walter Rodney was dead was that he had “finally” been killed by the People’s National Congress (PNC) Government. De Souza, the third witness called in the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the circumstances surrounding the death of Rodney, recalled arriving on the scene moments after Rodney was killed (assassinated) in a white car on Friday, June 13, 1980. De Souza referred to the “very serious adversarial posture of the WPA and the PNC”, and “the fact that at more than one of the PNC rallies, Prime Minister Forbes Burnham had been uttering threats about making ‘wills’ and so forth; that people in the worst possible alternative should make their wills and that the steel of the PNC was sharper than any steel that the WPA might have.” Young mother discharged from hospital with overlooked pad still inserted in her A SLIMLY built 25-year old woman who gave birth to her first baby at a regional hospital on Easter Monday is lucky to be alive after a sanitary pad, plugged into her presumably to reduce bleeding, remained in her and went unnoticed for seven days. The mother and her baby were discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, and the young wife and her husband were overjoyed to welcome a baby boy into their family; but their euphoria was soon interrupted by the crying need to investigate suspicions that arose as to whether something radical had gone amiss after she began experiencing great discomfort and severe pains. Teenager ends life after parents rebuke his default on debt payment NINETEEN-year old Kevin Holligan of Samaroo Dam, Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara was found hanging from a tree in his parents’ back yard. He is said to have been an employee of Banks DIH Limited who had lived with his parents and had reportedly borrowed an undisclosed sum of money from his mother. He had presumably been unable to repay her, defaulting on his promise to repay. The Guyana Chronicle was informed that Holligan had eventually repaid a portion of the money after he had been chided by his mother, but the balance had not been forthcoming. After his default had been rebuked on another occasion by both parents, Holligan apparently became annoyed, or frustrated, or both. ********************************************* THURSDAY MAY 1 Basil Williams upbraided for baseless objections THE Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI) took PNC Chairman Basil Williams to task for his repeated objections about hearsay evidence being admitted. Williams, who sits on the legal team representing the Party’s interest in the COI into the 1980 death of Dr. Rodney, charged that Guyanese laws have been suspended to facilitate the COI and that, “anything goes in this Commission.” But Commissioner Seenath Jairam said he personally took umbrage at this statement as it reflects very badly on the commissioners. “I think you have not thought through this statement. We have not suspended the laws. We are bound by the laws. You are making a very serious statement. I don’t think you are being fair to us. Speaking for myself, I have not suspended the Laws of Guyana. So I want to make that clear to you,” Jairam told Williams, following one of his repeated objections. Sir Richard Cheltenham, warned Williams not to doubt the commissioners’ capacity to determine relevance and other commissioner Jacqueline Samuels-Brown urged Williams to be specific when he raise objections and criticise. Gov’t revokes work permit of LEAD project head THE work permit and extension of stay of International Republican Institute (IRI) resident Country Director, Glenn Bradbury, were revoked by Government, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon. He explained that the revocation of the documents were based

on the conclusion that the “immigration laws of Guyana have been offended” by Bradbury and his actions in Guyana. 15-year-old shot in mouth by Cadet Officer CRIMINAL charges are expected to be laid shortly against a police cadet officer from ‘C’ Division who reportedly shot a lad in East La Penitence in the mouth, following allegations that the teen had robbed the cop’s sister. This was confirmed by the Police High Command who visited the mother of the injured teenager to offer the force’s deepest regrets at the unfortunate incident. Fifteen-year-old Alex Griffith of East La Penitence was accused by the sister of the cadet officer of robbing her while she was walking through the area. The incident occurred just after 21.00 hrs on Wednesday evening. Griffith is at present at the Georgetown Public Hospital nursing a gunshot wound to his mouth while the cadet officer is under close arrest. 15-year old cyclist killed by minibus at Yarrowkabra A SOESDYKE lad died on the spot at about 18:45 hrs, while allegedly riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road without any lights, after he was struck by a speeding Georgetown/Timehri minibus at Yarrowkabra, Linden/ Soesdyke Highway. Fifteen-year-old Robin Hernandez of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara who was hit by the route 42 minibus was pitched a few feet away from point of impact, landing in the corner. A Yarrowkabra resident told the Guyana Chronicle that all she heard was “something mash a hard brakes and the glass start bruck up.” Two Chinese nationals shot during robbery bid TWO Chinese nationals were shot during an attempted robbery at about 19:45 hrs just after they had finished their daily sales in front of their business place on Robb Street. The duo identified as Shai Zing, 44, and Lin Tang, 29, were relaxing along with their other colleagues when the two men approached them but they did not pay any heed. However, after it seemed that the men were being ignored by the business owners, one of them armed with a gun discharged a round which struck Zing on his buttocks, while another round hit Tang to his right foot. The other colleagues who were with the business owners then put up a resistance and the bandits fled in a waiting motor vehicle. ********************************************* SATURDAY MAY 3 Guyana poised to shine at inaugural Festival come August THE inaugural Guyana Festival – Sound, Soul and Taste — was launched at the Guyana International Conference Centre, Liliendaal. For the very first time, the fusion of the six different cultures that make up the Guyanese social tapestry will be brought together, reflecting a true melting pot that reflects the Guyanese identity. This event is slated to take place at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from August 8-10, 2014. President Donald Ramotar said at the launch: “I must congratulate the minister and his team on this project. This is demonstrating to the world at large how beautiful it is to live in a multi- ethnic and multi-cultural society. Those who ruled us before tried to make us forget our traditions and culture; but the fact is that we have maintained our music, our dance and our food, and all this is testimony to the resilience of the Guyanese people”. Teen on grandmother’s errand on armed robbery charge LISTON Marcus of Lot 15 CC John Fernandez Squatting Area, Georgetown appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, charged with robbery under arms and discharging a loaded firearm. He pleaded not guilty to the offences, one of which said that on April 29, at West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, being armed with a gun, he robbed Calvin Daniel of one gold band valued $600,000. Particulars of the other charge are that, on the same day, at West Ruimveldt, he discharged a loaded firearm at Kurt Brown with intention to maim, disfigure, or cause Brown harm. Police Prosecutor Michael Grant said that at around 19:30 hrs. on the day in question, the victim was at Cool Square bar when he was approached by the defendant, who with a gun relieved him of the article. Marcus denied the allegation and said his grandmother had sent him to purchase a loaf of bread when a group of men accused him of committing a robbery and gave him a thrashing. He was refused bail and the case was put off to May 23.

Rodney’s office was at this time, Gilbert said he nevertheless ended up at the correct address and warned Rodney that he was going to be killed. “He looked at me and dropped his head. He asked me to tell him about any situation I may have known about. I didn’t know anything else. I left and three days later he was killed.” Meanwhile, during the proceedings, the COI took PNC

Wednesday 30 : I was physically brutalised because of my politics – Reverend Gilbert; Williams upbraided for baseless objections Friendship with Dr. Rodney proved costly to Reverend Gilbert in the 1970’s, who told the COI that had he not left his home one night, he would have been executed by the youth arm of the PNC, then known as the Young Socialist Movement (YSM). Gilbert, 78, was the fourth witness to be called. Gilbert maintained that Commissioners Seenath Jairam, Richard Cheltenham and Jacquehe had never been a member of line Samuels-Brown the WPA but supported Rodney because they had become friends. Gilbert provided details of the Chairman Basil Williams to task for his repeated objections about time he was about to be killed by the YSM, and also recalled other hearsay evidence being admitted. Williams, who sits on the legal incidents when his life was severely threatened by agents of the team representing the Party’s interest, charged that Guyanese laws PNC Government. He spoke about the time when he was denied have been suspended to facilitate the COI and that, “anything goes employment by Prime Minister Forbes Burnham because he wrote in this Commission.” But Commissioner Seenath Jairam said he for the PPP’s Mirror newspaper and not the PNC’s New Nation. personally took umbrage at this statement as it reflects very badly Gilbert also told the COI that about three days before Rodney died, on the commissioners. he had a strong intuition that he was going to be killed. He said “I think you have not thought through this statement. We have he wanted to warn Rodney but hesitated. A force in him, however, not suspended the laws. We are bound by the laws. You are makkept pressing him to go to Rodney. Without even knowing where ing a very serious statement. I don’t think you are being fair to us.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE May 4, 2014 Speaking for myself, I have not suspended the laws of Guyana. So I want to make that clear to you,” Jairam told Williams, following one of his repeated objections. Commissioner Cheltenham urged Williams not to doubt the commissioners’ capacity to determine relevance and that no one spoke of suspending the Laws of Guyana, but flexibility was what was discussed. Commissioner Samuels-Brown urged Williams to be specific when he raised objections and criticise. “I would just like to give my own caution that when you raise these objections, you should be specific to the matter that you are objecting to and not give a wide ranging condemnation.” Friday May 2: Rodney’s Death: An act of terrorism by PNC agents Lawrence Edward Rodney returned to give his testimony. He told the COI on this occasion that his brother’s death was “an act of terrorism by agents of the State or of the State Apparatus.” Furthermore, he said: “I am of the view that there was a network of persons targeting the leadership of the WPA (Working People’s Alliance for which the deceased Rodney was co-founder). He was murdered by a terrorist grouping.” Rodney further pointed out to the COI that Gregory Smith, also known as Cyril Johnson, who was accused of the murder of Rodney, was a “uniformed member of the state.” He was a member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). Rodney, who has some experience in relation to ‘walkie talkies’ from his stint in the army in England, said there is absolutely no way that the ‘walkie talkie’ with the explosives inside of it could have been used for the purpose of a walkie talkie. With the explosives inside of it, it could never have functioned as a walkie talkie but it was an explosive device, he testified. Rodney also testified that on June 14, 1980, at about 7 am, he was taken to Lykens Funeral Parlour and asked to identify a corpse. He said he recognised it was his brother’s because there were almost no marks on his face. It was unblemished.

Man hacked to death -wife critically injured in bandit invasion at Haslington By Asif Hakim

F O RT Y – Y E A R – O L D Chetram Bharrat of Haslington, East Coast Demerara was chopped to death last Friday; while his wife, Lomattie Ramdat, 36, sustained several lacerations administered by two men armed with cutlasses, and is in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). A family member explained to this publication that the two cutlass-wielding bandits who invaded the Haslington New Scheme home of Bharrat and Lomattie by climbing through a window demanded cash and jewellery from their victims. And when Bharrat and Lomattie denied owning any despite the bandits’ insistence on receiving same, the bandits began ransacking the house to see what valuables they could find. Apparently not finding anything of value, the bandits unleashed their fury on

Police find and destroy 8,000 kilogrammes of dried marijuana LAST Friday, police ranks conducted drug eradication operations at Gateroy, Berbice River. A total of 44 acres under cultivation with approximately 145,000 cannabis sativa (marijuana) plants ranging in height from 1 foot to 14 feet, along with 16 camps and approximately 8,000 kilogrammes of dried marijuana were found and destroyed. No one has been arrested as yet, police said. the hapless couple, raining chops on Bharrat that caused him to collapse in an unconscious heap on the floor. Lomattie tried to help Bharrat, but the bandits turned their irate attention on her, firing chops to her face and hands, which caused several severe injuries, the family member

Granger fearful of transformative Amerindian development -Ms.Sukhai By Ravin Singh AMERINDIAN Affairs Minister, Ms. Pauline

Sukhai has expressed her conviction that Opposition Leader, David Granger is very fearful of the trans-

formative progress taking place in the indigenous people’s community. Granger had expressed

SUNDAY CHRONICLE May 4, 2014 the view that the government is seeking to buy votes through the budgetary allocation for Amerindian development. At a press conference on Friday, Sukhai explained that the Opposition Leader had visited Paramakatoi about a week prior to the budget presentation, and did not get the anticipated level of responsiveness from the people of that community. The minister explained that most of the votes in Paramakatoi during the last General Elections had gone to A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). Therefore, when Granger was met by only 31 persons from that community during his most recent visit, he must have suffered a huge psychological blow. Sukhai said Granger had indicted to the Amerindian people with his recent statement made, as they have to take the backlash from him whose expectation had not been met, because he was not treated in the manner in which he had been accustomed to in the past. The minister revealed that a female contributor had told the ministry that

during the days of the People’s National Congress (PNC) administration, the Amerindian communities had to raise a monthly target of $27,000. They would be instructed to find the money

Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai by whatever means, and deliver same to Congress. They were chastised by PNC members if they failed to do this. The Amerindian people are now calling for Granger and other persons who were, or still are, members of the PNC to refund their money for the PNC congresses they would have attended and provided financial contributions. The minister assured that all young indigenous people had received their stipends up to the time the

ministry had funds available to issue them, and as such, the budgetary allocations have nothing to do with vote-buying or political bribery. She added that the young people in these indigenous communities are in need of support from the government, and as such, the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will continue in its quest to build and foster hope for Amerindian development throughout Guyana. Land titling and demarcation, and community development plans that foster economic transformation of Amerindian village economies, were all put on hold last year after the combined political opposition slashed $18.4B allocated for the LCDS. This year, $19B targeting Amerindian Community Development was slashed from this year’s budget, reducing the allocation to $1B. The priorities significantly stalled were the Amerindian Development Fund, Amerindian land titling, the Micro and Small Enterprise Development, and Building Alternative Livelihoods project.

Scope for compromise constrained by CFATF requirements -President Ramotar By Vanessa Narine

- AML/CFT deadlock continues

THE Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Amendment Bill, is one of the most important things in our country presently, President Donald Ramotar says. The Parliamentary Special Select Committee currently reviewing the Bill concluded its review of the proposed amendments by the Opposition last Wednesday and is expected to consider counter-proposals made by the Attorney-General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, on behalf of the Government. However, the date for the next Committee meeting has not been set. “We are working to get an agreement, but the only agreement we can make is one that is CFATF complaint,” the President said, in an interview with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday, when asked about the counter-proposals. He explained that the type of compromise is constrained by the parameters for compliance set by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) and, by extension, the international body, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) original three changes would proffer changing the entire governing apparatus of the FIU; removing the Attorney General wherever that name appears and replacing it with the FIU and vesting a Police or Customs Officer with the power to seize currency from any person, anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that it is the proceeds of crime or will be used to fund criminal activities. The Head of State said: “We already have a bill that CFATF and FATF have said is compliant. The whole international community has said the Bill, as it stands, is compliant. “The danger with the proposed amendments is that they can make what is compliant now-the law that was passed in 2009, the principal Act can be made non-compliant.”

of Guyana. “…this is most ridiculous and outrageous behaviour by an Opposition, which is deliberately and knowingly exposing the people of this country to difficulty.” He acknowledged the concerns of enforcement and pointed out that this challenge is not unique to Guyana; rather it is one seen across the Caribbean and is the subject of the amendments in the AML/CFT Bill. CFATF has made legislative recommendations, which are addressed by the Bill, as well as non-legislative recommendations, where Guyana has made progress. These non-legislation recommendations include: establishing guidelines for supervisory authorities, a whole mechanism in Guyana’s commercial architecture to connect them; the stablemen of a national task force, which include representative from the Ministries of Legal affairs, Finance, Home Affairs, and representatives of the Central Bank, the insurance sector, the Guyana Defence Force, and the private sector, among other; and the establishment of a Specialised Organised Crime Unit (SUCO), for which the recruitment of staff has already started. The President said: “This new Bill is here to strengthen the law, so that the amendments are factors in the attempt to capture people who are involved in money laundering. In addition to their proposed changes, APNU is also calling for the Head of State to assent to several Bills he had returned to the National Assembly, for the reason that they were unconstitutional. Meanwhile, the Alliance For Change (AFC), supportive of APNU’s stand, is demanding the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which Government has agreed to, providing that Cabinet retains its ‘no objection’ role in the process but the latter has been rejected by the AFC. “It is a total irresponsible act by the Opposition,” the President said.

IRRESPONSIBILITY He referenced the recognition of the importance of AML/CFT legislation by Opposition factions in other Caribbean countries and underscored the difference locally. Mr. Ramotar said: “Our Opposition seems incapable of taking any type of patriotic position to defend the interests of the people

OPEN TO DANGER Mr. Ramotar added that the actions of the combined Opposition are undoubtedly opening Guyana to danger. He said: “We see by their action that they are opening our

country to danger…they are creating a weakness in our legislation, by making our country non-compliant. They are fighting a very important measure. I find it extremely disturbing.” “…they have opened our country to serious danger because this Bill, which is a result of international agreements for countries to have similar legislation to fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism; this is why the sanctions are so severe.” The President lamented the fact that the reasoning and explanations on the need for the enactment of the AML/CFT Bill by a high-profile CFATF team, which visited Guyana two weeks ago, seems to have been ignored. He said: “The CFATF team came into the country and explained to all and sundry the dangers that Guyana faces if we become blacklisted and how much it can harm Guyana. The fear also is that it will also affect the rest of the Caribbean. What we are seeing is the Opposition totally disregarding this.” Mr. Ramotar questioned who the Opposition is defending by opposing the Bill. “This Bill is an anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism Bill. We have the Opposition on one hand talking about corruption and so on and here we have the Bill that addresses these things and the Opposition is knocking it down. Who is the Opposition defending when they are now going against this Bill?” he said. Guyana has already been blacklisted, regionally, by CFATF and the final deadline for it to ensure compliance with the recommendations of the latter is May 29. If May 29 passes without the enactment of the AML/CFT Bill, the country can be recommended to the international body, FATF, for review by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) and, if that is done, Guyana could face further sanctions, including being put on the international blacklist.

with gift vouchers to the total value of $27,500. The presentation took place during a simple ceremony in the company’s Production Department Office, Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park, Georgetown. Copping the $10,000 first prize was Devanie Suklall of Cropper Primary School, Corentyne, Berbice. Second Prize winner was Tonia Pyle of Green Acres Primary School, on Thomas Street, who won a $7,500 voucher.

Gordon also had kudos for former President Bharrat Jagdeo, the patron of the game, at whose State House residence it was launched in 2012. He thanked the former Head of State for his support and blessing in bringing the game where it is today. He added: “We, at the Chronicle, are more than happy to be able to play a part in the development of young minds.” Noting that the primary focus of the editorial content of any newspaper is that of informing the readership, the General Manager assured that the Guyana Chronicle will continue to do all it takes to build on this project and ensure the children of Guyana are informed and educated at the same time. Gordon exhorted parents to look around their neighbourhoods and take the message

and strength. “He had a sense of purpose, a sense of what was right and what was wrong and sense of where the Private Sector should be going,” Mr. Ramesh Dookhoo who spoke on behalf of the private sector said. He recalled that Mr. Webster had been integrally involved with the Business Support Organisations, first as a representative of his company (Seals and Packaging Industries Ltd (SAPIL), later to become Caribbean Containers Inc. Commenting on his amazing and unique ability to stabilise troublesome situations, Dookhoo alluded to the equanimity he employed as President of the GMA and the smooth calming influence he exerted as a leading member of the group that brokered the end to the 3-months turbulent trade union strike in 1999. During that time, he was Chairman and leader of the mediation committee which brought an end, within two weeks, to the three-month strike of Government Service employees, which virtually crippled the country.

His intense belief in the value of the private sector led him to engineer with former President Janet Jagan, for the Office of the President to sponsor the main GMSA annual award for Export promotion Achievement. Thus the ‘President’s Cup for Manufacturing Excellence’ was introduced and presented by Her Excellency President Janet Jagan in 1999. Dookhoo proudly recalled, “He walked with leaders across the world. He exemplified what a private Sector leader should aspire to be. He took the job to enhance the position and the lot of the Private Sector and to win a popularity contest.” Mr. Webster was also credited for stepping boldly into the socio-political milieu in recent years, and attempting to broker a rapprochement between the Government and Opposition over the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering Legislation, but did not live to finish this effort. A Guyanese by birth and a product of Queen’s College, was a Chemical Engineer by training. He began his working life in the Bauxite Industry, later joined the Booker Group of Companies, and became the youngest Director within the Booker Group of Companies worldwide. His formal management training included attachments at the prestigious Henley Staff College, England in General management and Public-private Sector partnerships. Following nationalisation of the Booker Group Interest in Guyana, Ronald Webster was appointed Technical Director of the Guyana Liquor Corporation (GLC) and subsequently appointed Managing director, Seals & Packaging Industries Ltd, (now CCI) with the responsibility to privatise the then State-owned, which was successfully completed in 1992. In 2006, the successor to Sapil, Caribbean Container Inc. (CCI), faced closure due to its heavy debt burden. In December 2006, TIMI (a private company formed by Ron Webster) negotiated a settlement with the financial institutions and acquired the majority interest in CCI, Ronald Webster and his team have since restructured the company for growth, delivering profits to shareholders in 2012 and 2013. Ron Webster was the Chairman and CEO of CCI. In concluding, Mr. Ramesh Dookoo said of Ron Webster, “”His work at the CCI is regarded as legendary, and the young ones he left behind are challenged to carry on his legacy.” At the time of his death, Mr. Webster was the Chairman of the Environmental Protection Agency Board, as well as the Private Sector Commission. Ron Webster was the son of the late Albert and Winifred Webster of the UK. He leaves to mourn, his widow, Mrs. Bibi Webster; children, Gail Rayman and Paul Webster; grandchildren, Giselle, Julian, Liam and Aidan; son-in-law, Martin Rayman and daughter- inlaw,Aysha Webster.

Donetsk Is Not ... From page 8

learn their lesson: don’t do this anymore. That is why, even as Russian tanks drive right up to Ukraine’s eastern borders and the Ukrainian army prepares to die in a fight it knows it would lose, nobody else in Europe is getting ready for war. If the Russians want part or all of Ukraine, they can have it – and pay the long-term price for taking it, which would be very high. But nothing in Europe is worth blowing all of Europe up for. Do not be alarmed by the fact that troops and planes from as far away as the United States and Canada are currently being sent to NATO countries that have borders with Russia. The numbers are militarily insignificant. Their purpose is simply to remind the Russians that the alliance will protect its own members should Moscow ever decide that it has also a right to “protect” Russian-speakers in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Moscow does not actually need to be reminded of that. It has seized Crimea, and is toying with the idea of seizing more of Ukraine, precisely because that country does not fall under the NATO umbrella. And it does not belong to NATO because NATO didn’t want to take military responsibility for its defence. That was an entirely rational decision, because the

A pro-Russian activist and a pro-Ukraine supporter scuffle for a Ukrainian flag in Odessa on Saturda Russians clearly thought Ukraine fell within their sphere of influence. This is the first time it has been independent from Russia for any appreciable period of time in the past three and a half centuries. Moreover, the post-Soviet governments in Kiev had been horrendously corrupt and incompetent, the country as a result is even poorer than it was in Soviet times – and the population in the eastern part of Ukraine is terrified of getting tangled up with the West because it inhabits an industrial museum whose products are only saleable in Russia. What eastern Ukrainians really fear for is their jobs, not their right to speak Russian. All this was clear twenty years ago, and that’s when NATO decided that Ukraine’s independence would have to depend on Russia’s good-will, not on NATO’s tanks. And for twenty years Russia more or less respected Ukraine’s independence, while seeking, naturally enough, to ensure that its governments were friendly. The collapse of the status quo is partly the European Union’s fault, for demanding that Ukraine choose between closer trade and travel ties with the EU and full membership in Russia’s “Eurasian Union.” It is even more the fault of Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has been both emotional and opportunistic. He’s scaring people, which is never a good idea. But if he does take more or even all of Ukraine, the West will not fight him. It will just take in all the Ukrainian refugees, strengthen its eastern defences, and begin the slow process of bringing down Putin by crippling the Russian economy. That would take years, but nobody would forget about Ukraine. It is a UN member, and even China has stopped supporting the Russian position. Remember East Timor.

Bridgmohan finishes second in prestigious Kentucky Derby LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, (CMC) – Jamaican jockey Shaun Bridgmohan produced one of the best rides of his outstanding career, to land second place in the prestigious 140th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs here yesterday. The 34-year-old brought 37-1 longshot Commanding Curve with a thunderous late run down the middle of the track but failed to catch winner and 2-1 favourite California Chrome, who reached the wire 1-3/4 lengths clear. California Chrome, with Victor Espinoza aboard, covered the 1-1/4 mile trip in a time of two minutes, 3.66 seconds. Danza, ridden by Joe Bravo, was another 1-¼ lengths behind Commanding Curve. There was disappointment, however, for Wicked Strong ridden by another Jamaican jockey Rajiv Maragh. The colt went off as the second favourite behind California Chrome at odds of 6-1 but never J a m a i c a n j o c k e y mounted a serious threat, and Shaun Bridgmohan ... clinched second in finished fourth. Uncle Sigh and Chitu set Kentucky Derby with the pace after a level break, longshot Commandhauling the 20-horse field ing Curve. through fractions of 23.04 seconds for the quarter mile and 47.1 for the half-mile.

Fulham and Cardiff relegated as Sunderland beat Manchester United

…MANCHESTER CITY MOVES TO TOP OF PREMIER LEAGUE FULHAM and Cardiff City suffered relegation as Sunderland beat Manchester United on a dramatic day in the battle for Premier League survival, while Manchester City moved top with a win at Everton. There is now only one more spot in the bottom three to be filled after Fulham and Cardiff lost to Stoke City and Newcastle United respectively, and Norwich City need to avoid defeat against Chelsea today to keep their hopes of avoiding that fate alive. West Ham United secured their safety by beating Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa can breathe easily after seeing off Hull City, who would also need an unlikely set of results now to drag them down. Elsewhere, Southampton beat Swansea City, but the key result of the day which had ramifications for all the sides in the bottom eight was Sunderland’s success at Old Trafford. Ryan Giggs earned a lot of praise after winning his first match in interim charge of Manchester United last weekend, but he was powerless to prevent Sunderland’s remarkable resurgence from continuing with a 1-0 away win. Connor Wickham has scored some crucial goals over the past few weeks but he turned provider on 30 minutes to help Sunderland make

the crucial breakthrough, swinging over a cross for Sebastian Larsson to steer neatly home. United tried to battle back after the break and had some dangerous moments, but it was Sunderland who came closest to scoring again as Emanuele Giaccherini and Fabio Borini both hit the woodwork Sunderland are now three points clear of Norwich and both sides have two games left to play, but Gus Poyet’s side appear to have the kinder fixtures and boast a far superior goal difference, while the momentum is definitely with them after a first league win at Old Trafford since 1968. Going down Fulham’s 13-year stay in the Premier League will come to an end when the season finishes after they were thrashed 4-1 at Stoke in their penultimate game, leaving them an impossible four points from safety. Peter Odemwingie opened the scoring from close range for Stoke in the 39th minute after Stephen Ireland’s shot was deflected onto the crossbar by Dan Burn. Marko Arnautovic doubled Stoke’s advantage nine minutes into the second half when he galloped forward into yards of space following a swift break and slotted

home a composed finish from Odemwingie’s pass Another rapid counter-attack resulted in Oussama Assaidi turning in Stoke’s third on 73 minutes, before Kieran Richardson slotted home from Darren Bent’s pass to give Fulham the smallest of lifelines with ten minutes to go. However, Fulham’s fate was sealed and a miserable afternoon ended with Jon Walters completing the rout for Stoke. Cardiff will join Fulham in the Championship next season after going down 3-0 to Newcastle at St James’ Park. Newcastle had lost their previous six Premier League matches but they started strongly and Shola Ameobi headed them in front on 18 minutes from Moussa Sissokho’s cross to the back post. The match situation did not

stop some Newcastle fans from staging a walk-out in protest against Alan Pardew and Mike Ashley midway through the second half, but Newcastle held on to triumph as Loic Remy and Steven Taylor scored goals from close range in the final three minutes to add gloss to the scoreline. Manchester City took the opportunity to climb to the top of the table with a thrilling 3-2 win at Goodison Park which extinguished Everton’s hopes of finishing fourth. Ross Barkley fired Everton in front with a spectacular curling strike after 11 minutes but Sergio Aguero drew City level on 22 minutes after being played in by Yaya Toure. Pellegrini delighted with fightback Edin Dzeko headed in James Milner’s cross after 43 minutes and then put City

3-1 ahead early in the second half from Samir Nasri’s cross. Leighton Baines’ delivery was nodded in by Romelu Lukaku with 25 minutes still to play to give Everton hope, but City held on to go above Liverpool on goal difference with a couple of home games to follow Aston Villa overcame Hull 3-1 in a clash between two sides who started the weekend still in with a chance of going down, but following results elsewhere Villa are now all-but safe and Hull have a five-point cushion. Villa’s nerves were settled by a goal inside the opening minute as Gabriel Agbonlahor delivered a cross from the left and Marc Albrighton, after missing the ball with his initial attempt at a first-time shot, laid it off for Ashley Westwood to pick his spot in the bottom corner. A cleverly-worked free-kick routine after 28 minutes led to Hull’s equaliser as Tom Huddlestone played the set-piece quickly to Liam Rosenior and, as the ball was fizzed across the sixyard box, substitute Jordan Bowery could do nothing but turn it into his own net. Andreas Weimann restored Villa’s lead when he nodded in after a desperate scramble in the area, and he then made it 3-1 with a much more stylish goal as he glanced a header past Steve Harper from Bowery’s inviting

cross. In the day’s early game, West Ham ended a run of four defeats with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham to raise their points tally to 40 and guarantee their top-flight status for another season. Sam Allardyce has grown frustrated by criticism from fans in recent times but the Upton Park faithful were celebrating after 25 minutes when Stewart Downing was pulled back outside the area by last man Younes Kaboul and the Spurs defender was shown a straight red card. West Ham took the lead just a couple of minutes later when Andy Carroll’s header took a crucial deflection off Harry Kane to loop over Hugo Lloris. Downing added a second with a free-kick just before half-time which was driven straight through a disappointing defensive wall, and Spurs could not find a way back into the match with ten men as their hopes of European qualification suffered a blow. Southampton edged out Swansea 1-0 in an uninspiring contest at the Liberty Stadium. The Swans had ensured their safety last week and there was an end-of-season feel to the match, but Southampton snatched all three points to make certain of finishing eighth when Rickie Lambert bundled the ball over the line in the 90th minute.

Explosive Pollard engineers Mumbai’s first win

MUMBAI, India, (CMC) – West Indies batsman Kieron Pollard provided an explosive finish to Mumbai Indians’ run chase, as the reigning champions finally broke their five-game losing slide with a five-wicket victory over Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League yesterday. In pursuit of a tricky 169 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai lost Rohit Sharma for 39 and Corey Anderson for 35 in successive overs, to find themselves in a spot

of bother at 128 for five at the end of the 17th over. Sharma and Anderson had put on 53 for the fourth wicket. With the hosts requiring to score at 13 an over to win the contest, Pollard smashed an unbeaten 28 from just 12 deliveries, to see his side home with five balls to spare. He crunched two fours and two sixes and led a ferocious assault on Australia left-arm seamer Mitchell Johnson in the penultimate over of the game which went for 20 runs.

Pollard then ended the game in style, clearing long off with the first ball of the final over from seamer Sandeep Sharma (2-29). Earlier, Wriddhiman Saha had top scored with 59 from 47 balls as Kings XI, opting to bat first, posted 168 for five off their 20 overs. They languished at 24 for two before Saha and Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, who hit 45 from 27 balls, staged a recovery in a 69-run, third wicket partnership. The loss was Kings XI Punjab’s first of the season.

Kieron Pollard hit an unbeaten 28 from 12 balls to inspire Mumbai’s win.

Marsh is new chairman of selectors, Mark Waugh added to panel MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) Former wicketkeeper Rod Marsh has been named as the new head of Australian cricket’s selectors, while top-order batsman Mark Waugh has been appointed to the panel for the first time. Marsh, 66, replaces John Inverarity, who had already indicated he would step down when his tenure ended. Waugh has replaced former pace bowler Andy Bichel on the four-man panel. Former chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns has also rejoined the panel, while Australia coach Darren Lehmann retained his place. “Rod Marsh is the right man to take on this important role having been a key member of the panel since 2011,” Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement. “His track record speaks for itself. He brings a wealth of experience to the position, having been a leading player, coach and most recently a selector. “He has a great eye for talent and has strong relationships

Mark Waugh

throughout international cricket.” Marsh’s elevation to head the panel means he will step down as Cricket Australia’s manager of elite coaching development. Inverarity had said that while he would step down from the chairmanship he would be keen to stay on for an additional 12 months when his tenure ended, if needed, though. CA’s board decided it would be best to rejig the panel, Sutherland added. Under Inverarity’s tenure, Australia have regained the top ranking in world cricket after being the fourth-best Test nation when he first took the position. “He leaves his post with Australian teams in a position

of strength holding the number one ranking in Test and One-day international cricket. “That reflects his commitment and the astute judgment he brought to the role at a challenging time for Australian cricket.” Hohns served on the panel from 1993 to 2006 and was chairman for a decade before going back to state cricket with Queensland. Waugh, who gave Australia a blistering opening partnership with Adam Gilchrist in limited overs matches, would focus on the shorter form of the game, Sutherland said. “He was one of the world’s greatest one-day international players (and) we think he can add a lot, particularly in an important World Cup year,” Sutherland said. Australia and New Zealand host the Cricket World Cup from February 14 to Match 29 next year. The new panel will first meet on July 1 with their first job to name a side to play a oneday triangular tournament involving South Africa and hosts Zimbabwe in August.

Trophy Stall Angels and Trophy Stall XI -RAMNAUTH AND BUTTS PICK UP 5 VICTIMS advance to semifinals By Calvin Roberts REIGNING Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company 10/10 champions Trophy Stall Angels underlined their supremacy yesterday at the Guyana National Industrial Corporation ground, when they defeated both 4R Lioness and Karibee Rise Strikers to advance to the semifinals of the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc. /National Sports Commission Independence Cup. In the first game, Trophy Stall Angels asked 4R Lioness to bat first and reduced them to 105 for 3 off their 10 overs, with Tameka Wilson 61 (6x4, 3x6) and Ruth George 28 (2x4, 1x6) being their leading scorers, to which Trophy Stall Angels replied with 111 for 4 off 7.3 overs, thanks to Heema Singh 28 (4x4, 1x5), Roxanne Demonick

24 (2x6, 1x4) and Odessa O’Neil 16 (2x4, 1x6). In their second game against Karibee Strikers, Trophy Stall Angels batted first and scored 97 for 5, with Singh leading the way with 35 (2x6, 2x4) and Demonick 31 (4x4, 1x6), as Tenesha Leonard took 2 for 18 for Karibee Strikers who were limited to 73 for 4 in reply, despite 28 (4x4) from Aleena Arokium and 17 (2x4) from Leonard. In their first game of the day, Karibee Strikers disposed of 4R Lioness by eight wickets, reducing them to 70 for 6, with Abigail Scott 20 and Shyon Goodluck 13 leading their batting, while Sha Gaj took 2 for 10 for Karibee Strikers, who scored 74 for 2, thanks to Sheneta Grimmond’s 36 (3x6, 2x4). At the Everest Cricket Club ground, Trophy Stall XI emulated their female counterparts to play unbeaten, after defeating Farm XI and Regal XI in

their two matches, while Regal XI had mixed fortunes in both the Open and Masters Over-40 categories. In their first game against Farm XI, Trophy Stall bowled out their opponents for 61 in 12.5 overs, with only R. Reddy and W. Yusuf reaching double figures with 13 and 12, to which Trophy Stall XI replied with 63 for 3 off 7.3 overs, thanks to K. Bishundial’s unbeaten 29 (3x6, 2x4) and 12 from S. Budhu. In their second game, Trophy Stall bowled out Regal Xl for a paltry 87 inside 11.2 overs, of which Kwesi Joseph topscored with 26 (2x6, 1x4) and Richard Latiff made 18, even as R. Ramnauth claimed 6 for 12, including three in one over and D. Deosarran 2 for 30. In reply, Trophy Stall scored 91 for 4 from 10.5 overs led by Fazal Rafeek 36 (3x4, 2x6), Mark Dutchin unbeaten 24 (3x6) and D. Ferreira’s unbeaten 12,

Australia must keep winning to earn No.1 ranking says coach AUSTRALIA coach Darren Lehmann has welcomed his side’s ascent to the world’s No.1 Test and ODI ranking, but warns the side is not yet the world’s best cricket team. An annual update to the International Cricket Council’s rankings on May 1 saw Australia pip South Africa to the No.1 spot by a fraction of a point. Lehmann said only by continuing to win series, especially away from home, and increasing that gap would allow Australia to claim they were a “genuine No.1”. “In my mind it’s a great accolade for all the hard work that everyone has put in but at the end of the day we’ve still got a lot of work to do to get to where we want to,” said Lehman. “It means a lot, for everyone involved with Cricket Australia, the players, support staff. The only thing is, I don’t think we’re No. 1 until we win a lot of series away from home and at home.

which included two sixes that completed the win, as Lakeram Roopnarine took 2 for 27 for Regal XI. In their first game of the day, Regal XI asked Smith’s XI to bat first, to which the opposition scored a whopping 184 for 8 from

their allotted 20 overs, with Latchman Rohit 39 (3x6, 1x4), Ganesh Mangal 37 (3x6, 2x4), Shaz Grovesnor 34 (3x6, 2x4) and Fazeer Khan 30 (3x6, 1x4). Skipper Safraz Esau took 3 for 19 and Ricky Sargeant 2 for 40 for Regal XI, who in reply reached 189 for 2 off 16.4 overs, thanks to Chien Gittens’ unbeaten 57 (5x4, 4x6), Patrick Rooplall’s 51 not out (6x6, 1x4), 44 from Latiff that included three sixes and five fours and 30 (3x6) from Joseph. In the Master’s Category, Regal Masters suffered the same fate as their Open counterparts, playing two matches in which they rebounded from a seven wicket loss to Frontline Rangers, to defeat Parika Defenders by six wickets, thanks to Clyde Butts’ 5 for 24. In their first game against Frontline Rangers, Regal Masters were asked to bat first and were bowled out

Skpper Michael Clarke and coach Darren Lehmann.

“Once we start doing that and spread the gap between No. 1 and No. 2, then you can start calling yourself the genuine No.1.” Lehmann said there was plenty of improvement to come from his side and suggested they were at barely 70% of their potential – but still good enough to inflict a series whitewash on England and beat South Africa 2-1 away from home. The Proteas may reclaim the No.1 ranking as soon as July – they play two Tests in Sri Lanka and another in Zimbabwe before Australia’s next Test engagement, against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in October.

“The bar is easy for us. We’ve got to win against Pakistan, the Ashes in England, win at home, win in the West Indies. If we tick off those, then you can pretty much say, ‘Yeah, we’re No. 1’,” Lehmann told News Limited. “But until you do that we’re No. 1 in rankings only, if that makes sense. The players understand that. They enjoy being No. 1 but now the challenge is to spread it from one to two. “The way you do that is to not lose a game, for starters. Making sure that when we’re under the pump in games that we fight hard to get out of it (with a draw). “Almost unbeatable — that would be the ultimate goal.”

for 120 from 19.4 overs, with Tony Amerally 37 and Younis Yusuf 30 being their topscorers, against the bowling of Tony Singh and Hafeez Samad who took three wickets each for 17 and 20 runs respectively and Manoj Malone’s 2 for 25. In reply, Frontline Rangers said thanks to Mohammed Rafeek’s 67 and 23 from Sheik Mohammed which piloted them to 124 for 3 off 19.4 overs. In their second game against Parika Defenders, Regal Masters saw Butts decimate the opposition, limiting them to 114 for 9 off their 20 overs, as only Naresh Bissessar 35 had any answer to Butts who received support from Satrohan Seeraj (2 for 18). In reply, Regal Masters scored 117 for 4 from 11.5 overs, led by Eric Thomas 35 and 23 from Lanceford Klass, as R. Rambharose took 2 for 14 for Parika Defenders.

LONDON, England (Reuters) - Nine European football clubs face punishment under new rules designed to force teams to rein in their financial losses, UEFA said yesterday, without naming any of the offenders. Media reports this week said big-spending Manchester City and Paris St Germain have been given the chance to settle breaches of the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules that will leave them free to play in next season’s Champions League. There had been speculation that details of those settlements would emerge as early as this week. In a statement issued after a two-day meeting of its Club Financial Control Body (CFCB), UEFA said it had given a clean bill of health to 67 of the 76 clubs who had been asked earlier this year to supply additional information about their accounts. The remaining nine clubs

Paris St Germain coach Laurent Blanc

have exceeded the maximum permitted losses under the new regulatory system and sanctions are expected to be announced by the end of next week. “Further information shall be provided once this process has been completed,” UEFA said. UEFA has the power to ban teams from European competition if their losses exceed its limits but is expected to shy away from imposing that punishment at this stage. The likely sanctions range from a reprimand, to a fine or a cap on squad size for next season’s European competition. Rival clubs could seek to challenge the verdicts if they

think they have been unduly lenient. Having spent heavily to compete with the best teams in Europe in recent seasons, Manchester City and PSG appear most at risk of falling foul of the rules. City, in the running for their second Premier League title in three years, have been bankrolled by cash from Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour while PSG have been lavishly funded by their Qatari owners and now dominate French football. Under FFP, the headline numbers limit club losses to 45 million euros (37 million pounds) over the past two seasons, but there are various exemptions for spending on youth development, stadium infrastructure and older contracts. The aim of the rules is to bring greater financial stability to European football. However, critics of the system say it makes it harder for a new owner to come in and challenge the biggest clubs in European football.

Digicel Inter-Secondary Schools football…

Record number of entries anticipated since tournament’s conception FOR THE past three years, footballers attending secondary schools in Guyana earnestly look forward to the playing of the Digicel sponsored nationwide Inter-Secondary Schools’ football competition, for which its organisational expertise is unrivalled and the sponsor is promising a record number of entrants this year, to easily surpass the number of entries witnessed before. According to coordinator Lavern Fraser-Thomas, the number of schools to have already submitted their registration forms hover in the vicinity of last year’s total, while there is still a large number who’ve expressed interest and expected to submit their registration forms in the coming week. Speaking at a meeting of members of the Organising Committee recently, Fraser-Thomas revealed the Company’s desire to have games played at new locations thereby offering communities the opportunity to showcase their culture, geography and diversity to participants in the competition. “We’ve started our work very early, visiting several new locations and doing inspections of their facilities to verify their capability and readiness to host matches,” Fraser-Thomas said.

The experienced coordinator, who has held the responsibility since the event was conceptualised, said that in addition to highlighting and developing the skills of the students, another aspect of the tournament is to showcase the diverse culture and geography of the country to the participants. “Schools are basically getting an opportunity to benefit two-fold by participating in the biggest junior football tournament locally,” she stated. Among the new places that they’ve visited with the hope of staging matches are: Santa Rose in Region 1; Wowetta in Region 9; Siparuta and Orealla in Region 6; Hauraruni and St. Cuthbert Mission in Region 4. Fraser-Thomas also disclosed that Digicel has already begun to host Workshops for teachers and coaches, with the first being held at Wowetta in Region 9 and more scheduled to be staged before the commencement of competition. Meanwhile, Sponsorship and Events Manager of Digicel, Gavin Hope said he is elated with the positive growth of the tournament, which according to him has evolved into the premier schools’ football tournament within the short space of time.

He attributed this to a well put together Organising Committee and the Company’s careful review after each edition which has allowed it to remedy any evident imperfections. “ I think I can safely say from a company’s perspective that the growth of the tournament over the past three years has been positive and we’ve managed to improve the organisational capability each time, especially taking all the feedback, be it positive or negative, into our discussions during our review,” Hope pointed out. He said just as the Company’s motto states ‘Bigger Better Network’ they’ve consistently strived to apply a similar quality to the tournament. The launch is scheduled for June 6 and according to a member of the Organising Committee the plan is to have it done outside of Georgetown, which has hosted it since the start. Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School have been the defending champions for the past two years, having defeated Waramadong on both occasions in the final.

Guyana Rifle shooters Wing out for Jamaica today Guyana’s National rifle shooting team left this morning to compete in the 2014 West Indies Fullbore shooting championships (WIFSC) in Jamaica. The championships will attract teams from Antigua/Barbuda, Barbados, Bermuda, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, hosts Jamaica and a visiting Canadian team. Guyana will be defending the long range title over 900 and 1000 yards and will be looking to reclaim the short range (300, 500 and 600 yards) title they lost to Jamaica last, in Barbados. The team will be captained by Mahendra Persaud and will feature vice-captain Dylan Fields, Lennox Braithwaite, Ransford Goodluck, Ryan Sampson, Leo Romalho, ACP retired Paul Slowe, Lt. Col. Retired Terrance Stuart, Inspector Dane Blair, Peter Persaud and Sherwin Felicien. The local contingent will be joined by US-based Guyanese shooters John Fraser and Sigmund Douglas who will travel directly to Jamaica. GNRA Public Relations Officer Troy Peters will also be part of the delegation. The championships will fire off tomorrow with three days of individual competition at the Twickenham Park ranges in Kingston. Guyanese Lennox Braithwaite is the reigning West Indies fullbore shooting champion after he won the grand aggregate in ‘X’ Class last year at Paragon ranges in Barbados. A lot is expected of Romalho who returned to the team last year as well as Fraser and Sampson who missed the competition last year. Newcomer Felicien will also be looking for an impressive performance in his international debut. With the Commonwealth Games just two months away in Glasgow, Scotland, Guyana’s three-man delegation Persaud, Braithwaite and Goodluck

will also be fine tuning their preparation for the International Games. The first team match will take place on Friday with teams competing for the long range title, while Saturday the shooters will be back in action at 300, 500 and 600 yards ranges. The local squad has been hard at training over the past two months at the Timehri ranges and was exposed to two weeks of coaching by Great Britain leading coach Ian Shaw who visited earlier this year. Captain Mahendra Persaud said the national shooters are both mentally and physically prepared for a gruelling week of competition.

THERE is a proverb that is well used in Guyana that says, ‘The race is not for the swift, but who can endure it to the end.’ Certainly, this was evident last Friday night at the East Ruimveldt Community Centre tarmac known as California Square, when the Guyana Boxing Association organised National Sports Commission sponsored Novices Championships punched off with 20 exciting bouts. The proverb mentioned above was applicable to Kevin DeFreitas who faced Quee Brotherson in the 16th of 20 bouts for the night and suffered a 46 seconds first round knockout, after commencing the bout in an attacking mode. Also in winner’s row were Klaus Daniels, Glen Roy Smith and Delon Gordon, who recorded double victories on the opening night, thus booking a place in the finals which punched off last night at the same venue, following the weigh-in early yesterday morning. In the DeFreitas versus Brotherson encounter, DeFreitas who was fighting out of the Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) gym, took the attack to his opponent representing the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) gym in the 81kg division, much to the delight of the vociferous band of spectators on hand. However, a vicious right hand from Brotherson found its mark on the right side of DeFreitas’ head sending his man tumbling to

the canvas, where he stayed until the count of 7, managed to get up on wobbly legs in a dazed state of mind, forcing the referee to call a halt to proceedings. In the first bout of the evening, Daniels, fighting out of the Republican Gym, pummeled GDF’s Rupert Gillis from the opening bell to the final one, on his way to a unanimous points decision victory, as he forced the referee to administer standing eight counts during the second round of three rounds contest. However, Gillis’ teammate Wayne Murray extracted revenge on his behalf, when he sent Daniels’ teammate Delon Anderson out of the contest with his second round TKO victory, the first of the night as the bout was stopped at 33 seconds in the second round. Essequibo’s Smith emulated Murray with his first round TKO win over GDF’s Daniel Gibson, who was given three standing eight counts in the first round, before the contest was stopped at 2:55 of the first stanza, even as Gordon won via a third round TKO over Nduka Horatio of GDF. The New Opportunity Corps (NOC) made a successful return to amateur boxing after a hiatus of several years, when Calvin Barry claimed a split decision win over the more experienced Kevin Mullin of Harpy Eagles in their 75-80lbs contest. This was followed by two unanimous points victories for Deshon Elcock and Shane Skeete over Johnnick LaRose of

FYF and Nicko Jodha of NOC respectively, before GDF’s Andel Douglas was too strong for FYF’s Dewayne Reid whom he stopped at 1:13 of the second round. GDF’s Victor Low, Terrence Stewart and Lorex Pellew all suffered second round TKO losses to the Republican Gym trio of Ravindra Bissoondia, Stephan Andrews and Junior DaSilva respectively, even as Kemo Bernard of FYF took a unanimous points decision win from GDF’s Chris Charles. Terrence Nero of GDF was a no-show for his bout with Republican Gym’s Clifton Graham, following which GDF’s Desmond Blair and Mervin Rawlins claimed victories over Republican’s Dexter Berry and Sean Wilson respectively. Following Brotherson’s brutal victory over DeFreitas; Daniels, Smith and Gordon and chalked up their second win of the night by defeating Murray and Tyrone Hamid respectively, with Daniels’ semifinal opponent Mark Davis also of Republican, being a no show for the night. Caption Guyana Defence Force’s Quee Robertson displays his hands of power which disposed of FYF’s Kevin deFreitas within 46 seconds of the first round last Friday night. Yes I did it! New Opportunity Corps Calvin Barry (right) had his hands raised upwards by the referee after he recorded a split decision win over Harpy Eagles’ Kevin Mullin.

COLIN Barlow was named Man- of- the- Match, yesterday, as his team Transport Sports Club (TSC) shocked the highly favoured and unbeaten Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) lineup with a five wicket victory at the Malteenoes Sports Club ground, to lift the Georgetown Cricket Association/BrainStreet Under-15 Cup. Asked to bat first, GNIC, whose skipper Joshua Persaud was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), posted 176 all out off 43 overs, with Persaud

topscoring with 36 (2x4), while Paul Thomas (34, 5x4), Christopher Campbell 25 (2x4) and Haifa Walters 21 offered support. Joel Spooner took 3 for 19 and got support from Anthony Antonio and Mark Baptiste who took 2 for 25 along with Barlow’s 2 for 30 for TSC, who at lunch were 25 without loss off nine overs, with Antonio hitting three fours in his 18. After the break, GNIC progressed to 136 for 5 in the 43rd over, losing amongst the lot, Antonio for 24 (3x4) and Barlow whose 35 was decorated with two fours, before Mark Baptiste who stroked

an unbeaten 27 and Spooner took them home. The duo added 41 for their unbroken sixth wicket partnership from 6.4 overs, as TSC finished on 177 for 5 from 49.4 overs, winning with two balls to spare to take home the $50,000 cheque, trophy and 15 medallions, even as Dwayne Dick took 3 for 22 for GNIC who received $35,000, a trophy and 15 medallions.

California Chrome wins 140th Kentucky Derby ... Sherman becomes oldest winning trainer

(REUTERS) - California Chrome won the 140th Kentucky Derby in brilliant fashion at a bright and sunny Churchill Downs yesterday, adding another fairytale chapter to America’s most famous and revered horse race. Perfectly ridden by Victor Espinoza, the three-year-old colt pinned back his ears and sprinted clear of his rivals to win the $2.2 million classic by one and a quarter lengths. Commanding Curve, one of the longshots in the 19-horse field, charged home late to finish second while Danza battled on for third but no-one came close to catching the winner. Unbeaten in four starts this season, California Chrome started as the 5-2 favourite after romping to victories in each of his four previous races, including last month’s Santa Anita Derby, that was one of the key lead-up events to the Run for the Roses. And he lived up to all expectations with a breathtaking display of acceleration, breaking nicely from the barrier and sitting third until the field turned for home. As they made their way round the bend, California Chrome made his move, bursting into the lead before the shadows of the iconic twin spires as the crowd of almost 165,000 let out a mighty roar. His 77-year-old trainer Art Sherman became the oldest man to train the winner of the Kentucky Derby. Sherman had never even had a runner in the Derby before but was an exercise rider for Swaps when he won the race in 1955.
