AFIS enhances GPF crime fighting capacity
By Michel Outridge SINCE the Guyana Police Force (GPF) acquired the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) through the United States (US) sponsored Caribbean Security Basin Initiative (CBSI) project, they have been able to solve three murders and several break and enter and larceny matters. Crime Chief, Seelall Persaud told this publication last Thursday that the AFIS is an upgraded one of the first generation system they have and the equipment is modern and up to date with the latest technology. The Deputy Commissioner of Police added that the AFIS has aided in quite a few cases and they are hoping to crack more as time progresses since the integration of the new system with their current database. He stated that the AFIS has been activated about a week and a half ago and they have the updated system at three police stations across the country at Brickdam, Georgetown, Cove and John, East Coast of Demerara and Central Police Station, New Amsterdam,
Berbice. Persaud said they are very pleased with this new development which has significantly boosted their capabilities to solve crimes and ultimately have successful convictions. The AFIS was acquired by the police force in November last year through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) as part of a U.S.-funded project. The equipment allows for fingerprints of suspects to be matched with those obtained from crime scenes, or those already in the system in an effective and timely manner. It can also be used to identify deceased persons. The AFIS further allows for fingerprints to be recorded with an electronic light scan and be stored in the AFIS database. The database is said to be connected to others regionally. With the acquisition, representatives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have recently conducted a training session with local police on how to operate the equipment. This data would be sent to the CID headquarters where it will be checked for matching suspects.

CJIA Air Traffic Controller abandons - claiming his post as flight approaches eight-hour shift ended By Ravin Singh JUST around midnight on Friday an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) exited the control tower at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) claiming that his eight-hour shift had ended. Reports are that the man was agitated that his shift had ended and he was not relieved. At the said time, he claimed to be unwell and subsequently left the premises. His actions proved
to be in clear violation of the ATC profession. As a result of his irrational thinking, his colleagues were forced to find someone to take over the shift since the Caribbean Airlines 425 flight was nearing Timehri. Although being forced to circle the airport a few times, the aircraft managed to land safely. It was the efforts of his colleagues who managed to secure a competent enough person to provide landing clearance for

the aircraft. However, although the arrival schedule was prompt, the aircraft landed 10 minutes late at the CJIA noted one Caribbean Airlines source. An early departure from Trinidad's Piarco international Airport resulted in the timely arrival of the flight. Efforts by this newspaper to contact the on-duty Manager of the CJIA via telephone, proved futile. The result was the same after efforts were also made to contact Director General of Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, Mr. Zulficar Mohamed. In a hostile response as to their position on the issue, the Duty Officer at the CJIA yesterday said she had no information to give. Echoing her sentiments was Ms. Chaitrani Heeralall, Director of Air Navigation Services at the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority who recommended this newspaper to contact Mr. Zulficar Mohamed. Caribbean Airlines (Guyana) was also unresponsive to telephone calls. Investigations are expected to be carried out taking into consideration the seriousness of the ATC’s action which could have resulted in a serious accident.

Fyrish woman fatally shot -
two suspects in police custody
TWO men are in police custody following the fatal shooting of one of two sisters at their Fyrish, Corentyne, Berbice, home on Friday night. Dead is Patricia Samaroo, 57, a mother of four who was shot in the head by one of two men, who gained entry to their home by kicking open their door. Her sibling, Annetta Samaroo, 45, was shot and injured and is a patient at the New Amsterdam Hospital. She was shot in the abdomen. Police reported that at about 23:00 hrs on Friday, Patricia Samaroo and her sister, Annetta Samaroo, 45, were among other persons in their Fyrish home when two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, kicked open the door and entered the
building. The armed man discharged rounds at the two sisters fatally wounding Patricia Samaroo and injuring Annetta Samaroo in her abdomen, after which they escaped in a vehicle. Annetta has been admitted to the New Amsterdam Hospital. Quick response by the police led to the detaining of the vehicle used by the perpetrators which had been rented, and the arrest of two men, one of whom has been identified as one of the suspects. They are in police custody assisting with the investigations. At the time, the family of eight was at home at Lot 10 Section ‘B’ Fyrish, Corentyne, when the suspects entered the house discharging several rounds.

International Women’s Day celebration…
Women at the forefront at every level of educational system - President Ramotar By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally THE Women Progressive Organistation (WPO) yesterday celebrated international women’s day at the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre (Red House) under the theme: “Unity, Equality and Social Progress.” International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. President Mr. Donald Ramotar expressed his appreciation to all women, and recognises their fight against all the odds to reach where they are today. He highlighted that “now we are seeing at every level of the educational system girls and women are at the forefront. We have come a long way but our journey has not yet ended”. In an exclusive interview, Mrs. Indra Chandarpaul explained that “WPO has been the first organistaion in the country that started to celebrate International Women’s Day. The first celebration occurred at the same venue in 1957 which was hosted by the late Dr Cheddi Jagan. We have decided to focus on our grassroot women in the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) because they do not get a chance to be involved, since they are the ones that have been doing most of the work for us in their respective communities, they are the foot
soldiers of the PPP”. “In the past, women lived under a fourth terrain, that is the one of men, which is no longer so in our present society, since our women have now become more career-oriented. We find their husbands at home caring for the children and cooking the food”, said Prime Minister Samuel Hinds. PPP General Secretary Mr Clement Rohee reiterated that our women have come a far way in society but still the journey has now begun. He said: “Domestic violence and single parenting are two of the major problems our women face today and we have to work together to help in eradicating this parasite from our society” Mrs. Patrica Benn former president of the WPO (1957-1964) explained the struggles faced by women during her era “and worked

together to spread the word of women’s unity and strengthen the development of Guyana. Their first priority was to encourage parents to send their girl child to school” General Secretary of WPO, Sheila Verasammy, like the speakers before her correlated the struggles that women faced over the last 60 years that the WPO has been in existence and this has not deterred their efforts. “We, the women of the WPO, have tangibly contributed towards the development of women lives in Guyana”.
GINA sees Granger’s comments as a grave threat THE Government Information Agency (GINA) has noted with grave concern the recent statement made by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. David Granger, regarding the entity. At a press conference held on Friday, Mr. Granger boasted with respect to budgetary allocations for GINA and the National Communications Network (NCN), “…if they don’t hear, they will feel…” GINA said it interprets this comment by Mr. Granger as a threat to its existence and well-being of its staff. Moreso, the agency believes that such a comment may not be devoid of security implications for its employees and is in the process of registering its concern with the related authority. Based on the pronouncements of Mr. Granger and his colleagues in the Opposition since 2012 regarding GINA, there is no ambiguity of their stringent efforts to use their combined Parliamentary majority to close the agency through the deprivation of financial resources. As evident from 2012 and 2013, this action by
the Opposition was without an inkling of consideration for the welfare of the industrious and dedicated staff of the agency, all of whom have financial obligations for their personal and family well-being, with many being the breadwinner. A GINA release said: “GINA remains mindful of the inconsiderate statements made by senior members of the Opposition regarding the budget cuts of 2012, and which were reiterated in 2013 that loss of jobs was “collateral damage” and “so what” if that were the case. This can only be deemed as wanton disregard for the employDAVID GRANGER
ees’ welfare and their right to work at a place of their choice and an absolute contradiction of Mr. Granger’s and the Opposition’s boast of working to create jobs for Guyanese.” “It is in this context and having taken into consideration the recent final ruling of the Hon. Chief Justice (ag), Mr. Ian Chang, on the budget case, that GINA believes the action the Opposition took in 2012 and 2013 and the same which Mr. Granger is vehemently articulating for 2014, is an expedition in unconstitutionality, and non-adherence to the rule of law.” “Further, given Mr. Granger’s recent comments, GINA would respectfully like to remind that it is a unit of the Office of the President, with a mandate which is no different from similar units across the world which are entrusted to inform on the programmes and policies of the government they serve. It is not dissimilar to the mandate when the Party which Mr. Granger now leads was in government.”

Malaysian plane presumed crashed; questions over false IDs By Anuradha Raghu and Nguyen Phuong Linh (Reuters) - A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, and European officials said two people on board were using false identities. There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
“We are not ruling out any possibilities,” Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news conference. By the early hours of Sunday, there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage, well over 24 hours after it went missing. Operations will continue through the night, officials said. There were no indications of sabotage nor claims of a terrorist attack. But the passenger manifest issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans - Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi
- who, according to their foreign ministries, were not in fact on the plane. A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said: “Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board. That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines. Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport.” Austrian police had found the man safe at home. The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand, the spokesman said. The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the

His mother, Renata Lucchi, told Reuters his passport was lost, presumed stolen, in Thailand in 2013. U.S. and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.

NO MAYDAY The 11-year-old Boeing, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent engines, took off at 12:40 a.m. (1640 GMT Friday) from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and was apparently flying in good weather conditions when it went missing without a distress call. Flight MH370 last had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu. Flight tracking website flightaware.com showed it flew northeast after takeoff, climbed to 35,000 feet and was still climbing when it vanished from tracking records. A crash, if confirmed, would likely mark the 777’s second fatal incident in less than a year, and its deadliest since entering service 19 years ago.

SUSPENDED Doctor in death of baby boy during C-section sent home pending probe
By Anna Ramdass (TRINIDAD EXPRESS) The doctor who performed a Caesarean section during which a baby boy’s head was sliced, penetrating his brain tissue, was on Friday suspended pending the report of an independent investigation. Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan told the Express yesterday that after receiving a report on the incident, he indicated to chairman of the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA), Dr Shehenaz Mohammed, that the doctor be immediately suspended. On Carnival Saturday, a C-section was performed on Quelly Ann Cottle, 38, at the Mt Hope Women’s Hospital, during which her baby died . The baby’s father, Emil Millington, through the Express, pleaded for answers surrounding his son’s death, and called on the authorities for action, claiming there was an attempt to cover up the incident by cremating his baby the very day he died. The baby’s body is now at a funeral home, as the date for a funeral is still to be decided. He was to be named Simeon. Sources told the Express there were many questions to be answered with respect to this case, INJUSTICE: Parents of baby “Simeon”, a s t h e d o c t o r Quelly Ann Cottle and Emil Millington, who performed at their Enterprise, Chaguanas home the surgery only recently obtained yesterday. — Photo: Ishmael Salandy his specialist certification and should not have conducted the surgery without senior supervision. Sources disclosed that the senior consultant on call on that day was not around, and will also be called to answer for the absence and why the doctor, who is said to be in his early 30s, was allowed to lead the surgery unsupervised. Mohammed told the Express the NCRHA board met yesterday at 1 p.m., and after reviewing the preliminary report and autopsy report and after consultation with the minister, a letter of suspension was sent to the doctor. The doctor, who became a registrar after receiving his specialist qualifications, was suspended with basic salary. Mohammed said consultant psychiatrist Dr Neleene Baboolal was mandated to continue to provide support and counselling for the family. She said that in keeping with good industrial practices and natural justice, the doctor in question was also offered counselling through the Employee Assistance Programme. Told of the doctor’s suspension yesterday, Millington, speaking to the Express by phone, said he expects more stringent action to be taken, but will await the outcome of the investigation. Millington was also sympathetic towards the doctor, saying, “He’s a human being too, but we have to know exactly what happened. I don’t like the idea of taking bread from another man’s mouth, but if a man can take away a life from me, he has to understand there is a consequence to that.” Millington said he welcomed the independent investigation, but fears information will be tampered with, as he again claimed attempts were made to cremate his baby’s body the very day he died. “The medical system as it is right now, this is against Trinidad and Tobago, this is greater than the insurrection of 1990, but I believe some good will come out of it,” said Millington. He said he does not intend to “sit back and wait”, and plans to seek the advice of a lawyer. Millington said his family continues to grapple with its loss and he is trying to control his anger against the system. “My hope is that this what happen to me, that it never happen to anyone else again, and if there is going to be compensation given, I will set up some kind of fund to help others who have suffered in this way as I have suffered. This is too much for me,” said Millington. Millington broke down when asked how his wife and fouryear-old son, Samuel, were coping. “The only form of comfort I have is my son. He still rubbing his mother’s belly and asking when his brother coming. What are we supposed to tell him?” Asked an emotional Millington.
Rio rubbish collectors continue strike despite union deal Rubbish is still piling up in Rio de Janeiro’s streets, as cleaners continue a week-long strike despite their union agreeing on a deal to end the action. Hundreds of refuse workers protested at the mayor’s office on Friday, demanding better pay and working conditions. Authorities said on Monday that they had reached an agreement with union leaders and expected normal collection to be resumed within days. But many workers say the union is not representing their interests. The street cleaners have been on strike since last Saturday, coinciding with the start of Carnival festivities. The president of Rio’s rubbish collecting company, Comlurb, has even appealed to people to store rubbish at home whenever possible, the BBC’s Julia Carneiro reports from Rio. Friday’s protests stopped traffic in central Rio, despite threats from authorities to sack collectors who did not show up to work. ‘TREATED LIKE RUBBISH’ On Monday, municipal authorities said they had sealed a deal with leaders of the 15,000 rubbish collectors, after offering

a salary increase of 9%. But a group of street cleaners – whose starting monthly salary is 803 reais ($342; £205) – is demanding a sum of 1,200 reais ($510; £306) and other benefits. They say they are “being treated like rubbish”, and threaten to cause further disruptions during the football World Cup finals, due to start on 12 June. “The mayor wants to hold the World Cup, bin men want to go shopping,” read some of their banners on Friday. The strikers say that more
than half of collectors are continuing the industrial action and vowed to stage fresh demonstrations over the weekend. The street cleaners’ union says the strikers are a minority. In some parts of the city, groups of rubbish collectors have started to clean up the rubbish left by this year’s Carnival festivities, which ended on Wednesday. Security officers have been deployed to protect the workers from striking colleagues, authorities say.
Tonnes of rubbish left after parties remain on the streets. Our correspondent says the local culture of littering makes matters worse. Even Rio’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, was caught on video throwing rubbish. Mr Paes said he did not remember the event, but asked the authorities to fine him to serve as an example. Last year, his government announced a “zero tolerance” policy towards street littering.

Pensioners decry state of their community By Leroy Smith
DPP’S STAND ON KAIETEUR NEWS THE Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Shalimar Ali-Hack, has left no doubts about her evident annoyance and disgust with irresponsible and mischievous reports and commentaries that frequently appear in the ‘Kaieteur News.’ Known for her alacrity and firmness in rejecting falsehoods in the media, particularly what she considers to be deliberately “malicious,” the DPP’s verbal chastisement in a letter was specifically directed at the Kaieteur News’ editorial of last weekend. The editorial claimed that although some eight hundred (800) reports of suspicious money laundering had been filed with the Financial Intelligence Unit FIU) since the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) Act of 2009, “nothing was done”. Quite on the contrary, rebutted the DPP in her letter of protest to the Kaieteur News, ‘ONLY ONE’ report of claimed “suspicious transaction” had been officially reported by the FIU. What an enormous and alarming difference between that newspaper’s claimed 800 “suspicious” cases and the FIU’s report of just ONE! Which Guyanese, with a genuine interest in the way forward for this nation’s economic and social development, would be concerned over is why that newspaper—best known for its visceral hatred for the democratically elected government in power---should indulge in this sort of falsehood? Instead, for example, seeking to seriously examine the motives driving the opposition APNU/AFC alliance to maintain withholding support for parliamentary approval of the new 2014 AML/CFT Act? We are in no position to confirm the authenticity of reports that “protection of self-interest” by political and professional elements who contribute to that newspaper, may well have landed it in its current “falsehood” problem that necessitated the angry but quite professional response from the DPP. In the meanwhile, as previously reported, the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall has successfully filed an injunction against the Kaieteur News for character defamation in two of that newspaper’s “Dem boys seh” column. The AG is seeking $30 million in compensation for the public embarrassment caused by the newspaper.
A group of pensioners led by a re-migrant yesterday morning held a brief protest as they called on the Better Hope Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) to move swiftly in addressing several concerns of the community. The pensioners numbering just under 10, consisting of men and women were expressing their frustration with the state of roads in the community, a deplorable access bridge to the community, scarce garbage collection and the absence of a health centre in the community. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle just after the police arrived and ordered the senior citizens to clear the area, one of the disgruntled women explained that for years the bridge has been a contention for residents with respect to their safety. According to her, three years ago the bridge was patched up when the responsible authorities could have in fact constructed a new bridge out of concrete. At present there is a hole in the bridge which according to the other pensioners poses a danger to life and limb. They expressed concern for the safety of children and persons who use the bridge at nights.
Pensioners at their assembly point after being ordered from their protest location by the police Yesterday morning the Chronicle observed that several streets in the area are almost impassable and the ones which are relatively in a good condition lead to parts of the village which is not very populated. Among one of those areas which persons do not really use each day but which has a road in relatively good condition is the cemetery area in the village. The state of a plot of land

Yesterday’s protest did grab the attention of Regional Chairman, Clement Corlette. As this reporter was leaving the area it was noticed that the Regional Chairman was making his way into the village. Corlette told this publication that he was not aware of the plight of the people but has immediately instructed the Better Hope NDC to have the bridge fixed while the Ministry of Public Works will be approached in the coming week to address the road woes of the residents.

Volunteerism and its perceived benefits By Keith Burrowes
FOR several years now, I have had the privilege of serving on several state boards and other committees. On the one hand, it is rewarding work, the primary benefit for me being the opportunity to serve my country. However, the work, though voluntary, is as strenuous and demanding as any paid job, and like others similarly tasked, I’ve had to be creative in making sure that I deliver the best possible input into whatever role I undertook. Over the years of my involvement in such activities, I would not have been able to stretch myself as admittedly thin as I have without the support of a cadre of young people, whose commitment has proven to me a debunking of the myth that our youth have little interest or ability when it comes to serious work. Whereas, far too many see a position on a Board as a status symbol in itself, proof that they are a notch above the average citizen, I believe that not only does it represent the ability to prove one’s nationalism, but to transmit that sense of commitment as widely as possible while providing the opportunity for the upcoming generation to learn things that will be useful to them down the line. The approach I’ve used is to explore the extent to which I could involve young people – once basic concerns of professionalism, confidentiality or conflict of interest are not breached – in supporting the work I am doing, and my payback has not just been the ability to carry out my assigned work easier, but a chance to see youthful innovation and inventiveness at work. Most importantly, the job that I’ve undertaken gets done – the board benefits, the entity benefits, and the country benefits. Far too many young people in Guyana today are not afforded
the avenues for the outlet for their intellectual energy. In contrast, there are a considerable number of people who have accumulated a wealth of knowledge in various fields. Several people I know who have served on boards or other policy-making mechanisms for years, as much as a decade or more in some cases, during which time they would have accumulated a fair amount of technical knowledge, in addition to institutional memory. Quote: ‘Whereas, far too many see a position on a Board as a status symbol in itself, proof that they are a notch above the average citizen, I believe that not only does it represent the ability to prove one’s nationalism, but to transmit that sense of commitment as widely as possible while providing the opportunity for the upcoming generation to learn things that will be useful to them down the line’ For me, this falls into the realm of the issue of the transfer of knowledge, one which I’ve dealt with before in this column, and will return to again. For now, by way of example, I could say this: I have seen various organisations retain, over a number of years, various expatriate consultants to work on the very issue. What was missing from their operational model, in my estimation, was a mechanism in which knowledge pertinent to whatever needed to be fixed was transferred to local personnel, preventing the perpetual dependency of the respective organisations. To be fair, I know at least one donor organisation I’ve worked with which had a practice of ‘twinning’ their consultants with local counterparts, although this is more the exception than the rule. I would humbly suggest, and this is something I will give much greater development in a subsequent article, that perhaps a special mechanism be established when engaging not just donors but commercial enterprises as well. We are on the verge of tremendous ventures in exploitation of our petroleum resources, for example: I believe that a system of building incentive options – linking the sharing of specialist knowledge to specific benefits – into whatever agreements are being made can be a feasible option. I’m not speaking here of training of the local
personnel on the entity’s workforce, which is a separate issue, but a ‘twinning’ of specialist personnel with tertiary education students, from either the University of Guyana or the various technical institutes as well as the labour colleges. My point is: We need to move beyond engaging foreign corporate investors using those agencies that are responsible for facilitating investment, but to also come up with ways in which they can commit to our learning institutions. Of course, it would be prudent for those institutions to at least strive to meet these agencies halfway. The petroleum industry, cited above, may not be operational at present, nor is the hydropower industry; this does not mean however that our institutions of higher learning cannot be proactive in preparing for their advent. While we cannot practically expect a full programme tailored to the engineering needs of, say, the petroleum industry, there is the scope for the current engineering curriculum to organise one course, or some other facility, tailored to a specific element of that industry, like basic petroleum extraction for example. All in all, we need to start creatively engaging the energy and capabilities of our young people, and there are many avenues available; one major stumbling block, I believe, is a traditional way of thinking which sees doctors and lawyers as the end of all of career aspirations. All that said, the particular appeal that the ad hoc system of mentoring I’ve developed has, for me, is spontaneity. How do you recommend the development of something that works best when it

is most subjective and personal? Over the past couple months or so, I’ve had the misfortune of being subjected to what one might refer to as the downside of having any sort of significant public service profile in Guyana – unfair labelling, unwarranted criticism and sometimes an outright defamation of character. There are times when it begins to frankly get overwhelming; when I begin to question the value of the work itself. One of the things that has kept me going is the knowledge that while I am getting my work done, a few members of the next generation to run this country are being given at least some of the tools they will need to do so.

PROBING THE KILLING OF DR WALTER RODNEY
-politicking and challenges ahead
Analysis by RICKEY SINGH FINALLY, 34 years after Dr Walter Rodney the internationally famous historian, intellectual and political activist was tragically ripped apart in a bomb blast in his car on the night of June 13, 1980 in Georgetown, a three-member team of distinguished Caribbean legal experts has been established to begin their probe into the circumstances of his death. ”Assassination” has always been the unofficial verdict hurled by the party of which he was a founder-leader—Working People’s Alliance (WPA)—as well as from thousands of Guyanese supporters, of various ethnicities and status across Guyana. They continue to squarely blame the then “dictatorship” of the now late President Forbes Burnham for the shocking crime of murder. The very challenging, perhaps unenviable, task of the Commission of Enquiry (CoE) is to unearth the truth, particularly in view of the deaths from natural causes of some key figures not the least being that of a secretly recruited former Sergeant of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Gregory Smith. An electronics expert, he died some years ago in neighbouring Cayenne in French Guiana, to which he was facilitated in escaping, according to reports, by the then Guyanese authorities, and where he had started a new life. The COE trio is comprised of Barbados’ Queen’s Counsel Sir Richard Cheltenham (chairman); Jamaica’s Queen Counsel Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, and Guyana-born Senior Counsel Seenauth Jairam, who lives and works in Trinidad and Tobago. The commissioners were sworn by President Donald Ramotar, as Guyanese were winding down from annual nation-wide ‘Mashramani’ celebrations of Guyana as a constitutional republic, and while Trinidadians were immersed in the final stages of their internationally famous carnival. It has not gone unnoticed that during his long years as Head of Government and Head of State, Mr Burnham’s People’s National Congress (PNC) NEVER acquiesced to recurring calls for an independent probe into Rodney’s death from various political parties and non-governmental organisations, as well as from the
widow and children of the slain historian-a charismatic advocate for fundamental human rights and social, economic and political changes in Guyana. FOCUS ON GREGORY SMITH When efforts were subsequently made, after 1992, with a change in government, led by the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) of the now late President Dr Cheddi Jagan to, among other initiatives, seek the cooperation of the government in Paris for extradition of Gregory Smith as a key person of interest in the bombing death of Rodney, the French authorities made it clear that it was not their policy to extradite an individual back to his country of birth to face a likely death sentence, since France was opposed to the death penalty. Earlier efforts by national and regional human rights advocates and organisations to secure the involvement in a probe into Rodney’s death by the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists (ICJ)

had also proved fruitless. In a telephone interview I had done as a regional correspondent for the then Caribbean News Agency (CANA) with Gregory Smith, while he was still in French Guiana, the former GDF sergeant and electronics expert claimed that the tragedy “was an accident”, and that he was “sorry”, but preferred not to offer any further comment. And since the Burnham-led governments or the PNC under his leadership never demonstrated any positive interest in initiating an independent inquiry into the circumstances of Rodney’s death, it was left to his successor as President and party leader, Desmond Hoyte, to initiate a Coroner’s inquest. This followed renewed pressures, in particular from the iconic cultural/political activist and a founding figure of the WPA, Eusi Kwayana. Eight years after Burnham’s passing, and in the absence of efforts to summon key witnesses and ensure scientific evidence, the inquest concluded that Rodney’s death had resulted “by accident or misadventure…” DISAGREEMENTS OVER COE There remain some political peculiarities post-passing of both Burnham and Hoyte. Among these would be passage of a parliamentary motion calling for an independent probe into Rodney’s death; only, however, after the opposition of PNC and WPA parliamentarians had succeeded in excluding the word “assassination” with the argument that it would prejudge the circumstances of the historian’s death.
Subsequently, and prior to Guyana’s last general election in November 2011, the WPA most surprisingly opted to team up with the PNCR under the leadership of retired Brigadier of the GDF, David Granger, to contest the national poll under the political umbrella of convenience known as APNU—A Partnership for National Unity. For this “partnership”, ex-Brigadier Granger always a “comrade” of the PNC, and the WPA’s “brother” Rupert Roopnarine, academic and writer, happen to be respectively APNU’s chairman and deputy chairman. You think party politics in Guyana “easy”? Readers would anxiously await the very challenging findings of the three-member Commission of Enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr Walter Rodney. But at the time of writing, there were discouraging developments over the probe process. Of particular significance are the WPA’s sharp criticisms about non-consultations by the government on the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the CoE, as well as a public statement by the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) to boycott the work of the probe team altogether. Once, like the now defunct Caribbean Human Rights Work, the GHRA was quite active in pressing for a reputable independent probe into Rodney’s death. It has now expressed deep disappointment over the government’s failure to consult with the WPA in determining the ToR for the independent probe into his death. Secondly, it has raised serious concerns, as was earlier done by the WPA, over the offer of “pardon” to persons who may be found “guilty” of any act that contributed to the death of Rodney. DISAPPOINTING DEVELOPMENT It is regrettable that such disagreements should have arisen after the long years of waiting for an independent probe into Rodney’s death. And if it’s not too late, perhaps the government could be advised to amend, in consultation with the Commissioners, the terms of reference.

CHEDDI JAGAN’S LEGACY NATIONAL UNITY, WORKINGCLASS UNITY, & RACIAL UNITY*
IN recent times, we see the initiation of weak attempts at discrediting the work of former President of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan; namely, that he was stuck within Marxism, a faulty ideology that heaped all of its ‘nastiness’ upon Guyana. In fact, the critics proclaimed that Jagan’s faulty ideology negatively impacted his political modus operandi, particularly corruption, the fallout with the U.S., and the lack of national unity. The correlation between Marxism/communism and corruption is spurious, as corruption could happen amid any political/economic ideology at work. Nigeria, certainly not a communist country, was the third most corrupt country out of 102 countries in 2006, according to Transparency International. Then there is the United States of America, certainly not
Today, being March 6 marking 14years since the nation took Cheddi Jagan on his journey to Babu John is a sacrosanct reminder to all Guyanese to intellectually immerse themselves with his political and economic philosophy for societal-wide dissemination and practice. And history will remember Cheddi Jagan as a world leader; who struggled for social progress among the dispossessed and the disadvantaged; who vigorously implanted progressive political thought; who was a resolute builder of political movements; who forged the political-labour nexus; who was an unwavering Caribbe-
an integrationist; who was a true internationalist in his unrelenting promulgation of the New Global Human Order (NGHO); and whose authentic local legacy has to be his tireless fight for national unity, working-class unity, and racial unity. His ideas and his indefatigable promotion of these ideas have DR CHEDDI JAGAN a communist country; in November 2010, the U.S. House Ethics Committee found Rep. Charles Rangel guilty on 11 ethics violations; in March 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously impeached Federal Judge for Eastern Louisiana, G. Thomas Porteous, for corruption and perjury. There are numerous other examples to show that political and economic ideology has little or no correlation with corruption. Therefore, Jagan’s ideology bears little relationship to whatever alleged corruption might have occurred during his tenure. There also are some critics who believe that Jagan’s Marxism contributed to the decline of Guyana, especially as it led to a fallout with the mighty U.S. Jagan became problematic to the West not so much because of his embrace of the Marxist ideology, but more so because he espoused a neutralist position on the Cold War, and thereby did not side with the U.S. (Rabe 2005). Then there is the other criticism-without foundational basis-that Jagan and the PPP faltered on the development of national unity. Cheddi Jagan pointed to the utility value of cultural differentiation in the pursuit of national unity. He noted that race was never a serious problem in Guyana. He believed that the problem was one of class. The early division of labour produced and reproduced racial antagonism and cultural loss to divide and exploit the working class. The 1928-53 period, struck a blow to Guyanese unity through the British divide-and-rule techniques, with accompanying racial alignments and divisions. Clearly, these descriptions of the facts were acrimonious to promoting cultural identity, acrimony not primordial to Indians and Africans, but constructed and manipulated by politicians. Here, too, Jagan struggled for the political institutionalisation of each ethnic group’s culture, with the view that it will dissipate the emotive language of race and race conflict, and contribute to national unity. Jagan really advanced the case for apportioning political space to all cultures in the drive toward national unity. Clearly, he expressed his vision for developing a cultural mosaic in this multiethnic society.
‘And history will remember Cheddi Jagan as a world leader who struggled for social progress among the dispossessed and the disadvantaged; who vigorously implanted progressive political thought; who was a resolute builder of political movements; who forged the political-labour nexus; who was an unwavering Caribbean integrationist; who was a true internationalist in his unrelenting promulgation of the New Global Human Order (NGHO); and whose authentic local legacy has to be his tireless fight for national unity, working-class unity, and racial unity.’ not only redefined the Caribbean, but have impacted the world of the poor. These writings and his grassroots work have a superlative nexus with current philosophical debates, particularly in the philosophy of history and the social and behavioural sciences, coupled with moral and political philosophy. This understanding of history sees economic, social, and polit-
ical influences of human life as the most important factors shaping human experience, personality, ideas, and social arrangements. And it is through this understanding of history that he was able to construct a proactive and empowering vision for this country. Today, as I attempt to pen a few words on Dr. Jagan’s achievements, what really stares you in the face through his many writings is his profound sense of vision. Dr. Jagan had this vision since about 1945 that colonialism, in order to be successful, had to subordinate to its interests the critical institutions and processes of the colonized society. For this reason, the former President evolved as a tenacious fighter for Independence; and he is among the first few, if not the first, to have kicked off this struggle against colonial domination. This novel idea of Independence emerged in 1945 in a Dr. Cheddi Jagan’s pamphlet titled COOPERATIVE WAY. Dr. Jagan said: “It therefore behooves the working class people to get control of government through their constitutional ballots in our forthcoming election, with a view towards complete independence. A free and independent Guiana can easily cooperate and eventually federate with her Latin neighbours, especially Brazil.” We see his active vision at work, too, on April 3, 1962 during his Budget Speech. Dr. Jagan spoke about the dynamics of globalisation, even though he did not use the actual term. He said: “The fact is that we are living today in a world which has become closely knit together. We are not living in the days when communications were difficult, when countries were more or less economically content. We are living today when international trusts, combines and cartels are devouring the world; the big giants are swallowing up the little giants, the sharks eating up the sardines.” He warned then of the dangers of globalisation, echoing the West’s domineering stand in relation to the developing world; and within the same sentiments, as former Indian Prime Minister Dr. Gujral would later aptly say: “My globalisation is good for you but yours is not good for me.” But Dr. Jagan’s vision shows his mastery at work in countering this inhuman globalisation as far back as 1945, and making the case for the NGHO. The NGHO would empower people so that they would not be cowed down by the dynamics of a callous globalisation; the people would be in the forefront applying the tools of internationalism to their advantage, creating a niche for themselves in this global economy. The NGHO, through its principle of humanity, represents a remarkable vision for bringing people together, not only for Guyana but for all countries. For these reasons, there is no question that former President Dr. Jagan’s authentic legacy has to be his vision and tireless fight for national unity, working-class unity, and racial unity. ® March 6, 2014 marks the 17th year of Dr. Cheddi Jagan’s death.

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine MARCH 3-8, 2014 MONDAY 3
Three caught red-handed! POLICE came in for strident praise after catching three armed bandits red-handed in the Lime Street, Newburg apartment of dredge owner Elizabeth Hendricks, called “Ann”. The trio — two males and a female — were subdued and arrested minutes after entering the premises. They reportedly gained access after the female accomplice, who is known to the businesswoman, telephoned her saying she was on her way to see her. Upon her arrival at the location, the usually secured gate of the apartment complex was opened by the businesswoman’s young daughter, which is how the two male bandits, one of whom was armed with a gun, gained access to the apartment. Speaking to this publication just before the police whisked her away to give a statement on the robbery the visibly shaken Hernandez said the female accomplice was a friend of hers. Man suffers near fatal injuries as Thursday night ‘hangout’ goes awry WHAT began as a ‘hangout’ outside a fish shop at Hadfield and John streets in Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown almost ended fatally for 33-year-old Mark Waldron and his brother and a cousin. Waldron is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital, nursing multiple stab wounds to his face, inflicted inches away from his windpipe and above his left eye, and recuperating from a gaping wound which almost cost him his right hand. The wounded man recalled that he and his party were standing at the side of the road next to an icebox when a car drove by and pinned his left foot so that he was unable to move. He called out in pain to the driver, who could not immediately drive off because the place was congested and another car was blocking his movement. Waldron said he was still writhing in pain when two men, not knowing his plight, started shouting at him to “Move out the way!” He said he was just going to open his mouth to let them know what was happening when one of them broke a bottle and dealt him multiple stabs to the face, and a gaping wound to his right arm, which caused the tissues to protrude frightfully. When the blood started to spurt, the men bolted, leaving the injured man behind; but his brother and cousin took him to the hospital, where he was treated and admitted. It is an offence to litter from a moving vehicle UNDER the Litter Prevention Regulations, littering from a moving vehicle or a trailer in motion is an offence. Motor vehicles include those used for transportation of people and goods, such as cars, buses, speedboats, ferries, etc. An individual found guilty of this offence will be fined $50,000. A company found guilty of this offence will be fined $100,000. A person who causes or knowingly permits another person to litter from a moving vehicle shall also be guilty of an offence, and be convicted for the same offence together with the person who committed the act. A person having been convicted of littering from a moving vehicle and is convicted a second time for the same act will have to pay double the amount of the maximum fine attached to the offence, or face three months imprisonment. Owners of public transportation are required by law to provide containers for the disposal of litter! Gov’t flays Kaieteur News over depraved obsession with former President Jagdeo THE Government Information Agency (GINA) has noted the recent report published by the Kaieteur News relative to the illness of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, and can only describe same as yet another prime example of this publishing house’s continuous obsession with this outstanding Guyanese leader, who has become a target for personal vilification and scurrilous attacks. In an article on February 24, 2014, captioned, “Jagdeo air-dashed to Florida”, Kaieteur News again gave another abysmal display of unethical and unprofessional journalism with its inevitable strategy of misrepresentation and attempt at misleading. This is best described as insensitive and inhumane to report on the illness of someone and at the same time attacking their character. As in the case of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, the Kaieteur News has demonstrated gross disrespect for his condition, while subtly attacking his stewardship, as the paper, in the said article, mentioned that the President was mired in controversial projects. Decency would have dictated a courteous ‘get-well’ from any professional publication that understands the meaning of protocol, and what ethical reporting is all about. *********************************************** TUESDAY 4 City Council budget presented amidst much criticism CHAIRMAN of the Finance Committee of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC), Mr. Junior Garrett, has presented the municipality’s 2014 Budget estimates. The projected expenditure for the year is $2,302,189,532 as against the expected revenue of $2,055,467,116 representing a shortfall of $246,722,416.The presentation was done at City Hall amidst criticisms by some officers and in the presence of Mayor Hamilton Green, other councillors, and members of the public. One of the critics, Town Clerk Carol Sooba, remarked that it is a “highly deficit budget” that includes all sorts of nonsensical things. The expected revenue for the Town Clerk’s Department is $14M, as against the projected expenditure of $328,472,230; for the City Constabulary $4M as against $370,899,360; for the Treasury Department $1,643,500,000 as against $120,523,739; for the Public Health Department $58,495,000 as against $219,840,899; for the Solid Waste Management Department $3,225,000 as against $386,926,135; for the City Engineer’s Department $37M as against $656,685,412; and for the Markets Department $295,216,516 as against $218,841,757. Man hangs himself after stabbing wife GOED Fortuin village residents as well as persons living at Roraima Housing Scheme at Versailles were shaken by news about an attempted murder when a man brutally stabbed his wife and then committed suicide. The man, identified as Andrew Patterson, 34, of Goed Fortuin Village, stabbed his wife, 32-year-old Tamika Patterson, twenty times about her body and escaped before police arrived.
Just months after their apartments were raided by thieves, residents of Lot 57 Roraima Housing Scheme at Versailles, West Bank of Demerara awoke to find the man hanging from the water trestle in the yard, with a telephone wire wrapped around his neck. The gruesome discovery was made at about 05:45 hrs by a tenant, Nathalie Murray, who went out on the back verandah to do her normal morning physical exercises. When the woman raised an alarm, residents scampered from the apartment building to investigate.
She said he offered to assist her with the two subjects and that assistance was going to come through extra lessons. The teenager explained that there would be times when she alone would be attending the lessons and, at other times, there were other students. But, on most occasions, she is, usually, the only one with the teacher. This newspaper was told by the girl, in the presence of her guardian, that, at one time in the class, the teacher reached and began touching her legs and she protested and he stopped.
Bullying, drug abuse reported at Tagore Secondary PARENTS of children attending the Tagore Memorial Secondary School at the Number Sixty-Four Babylon, East Berbice, Corentyne, are alleging that students are being plagued by the issues of bullying and drug abuse in the school. This publication visited the school and subsequently spoke to various parents, who said that they are fearful for the well-being of their children while they are at school. It has also been alleged that complaints made to teachers are not being taken seriously, and this allows the violence to continue. Allegations that the teachers witness these incidents in the corridors and classrooms were also made. Parents claim that the issue of school violence was raised at a Parent Teachers Association (PTA) meeting, and even though teachers are seeing the students walking with weapons (including knives), they neither reprimand nor discipline them.
US State Department gives Guyana a clean bill of health THE Laws of Guyana provide for an independent judiciary, and the Government of Guyana has generally respected the independence and practices of the judiciary. This is according to the US State Department Report for 2013. However the report did not hesitate to point out that the judicial process has been undermined by delays and inefficiencies. It pointed to the report by the director of public prosecutions that 60 cases were disposed of during 2012, 14 of which the prosecutors declined to prosecute because most had been pending for in excess of 15 years, and main witnesses to prove the offences were no longer available to testify. A shortage of trained court personnel, inadequate resources, postponements at the request of the defence or prosecution, occasional allegations of bribery, poor tracking of cases, and sloth of the Guyana Police Force in preparing cases for trial had caused delays in the system, the report also pointed out. With respect to trial procedures, the report reminded that in Guyana trials are done publicly, while defendants enjoy the presumption that they are innocent during the trials. There is no jury for cases tried in the Magistrates’ Courts, but in the High Court, where matters are considered more serious, a jury is used. Guyana’s constitution, the report reminded, provides that a person shall be informed — as soon as is reasonably practicable and in detail — of the nature of the offence for which that person has been charged. There is also provision in the constitution for persons charged with criminal offences to be given adequate time and facilities for the preparation of their defence. These are all practices which, the report pointed, Guyana has been living up to. The State Department report also pointed out that in accordance with the constitution; Guyana routinely granted trial postponements to both the defence and the prosecution — the law extends these rights to all citizens. ***********************************************
Driver soliciting passengers at Berbice Bridge slapped with several charges MOTORIST Joseph Warde, 44, who allegedly solicited passengers in the vicinity of the entrance to the Berbice River Bridge on February 18 last, was slapped with six charges, and was granted pre-liberty trial in the sum of $45,000 following his appearance before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court. The driver of motor car PPP 5616, and of Lot 10 Manchester Village, Corentyne, had shouted and made noise to attract the attention of a passenger in a manner to cause public annoyance. Warde also faces two counts of leaving his vehicle in a dangerous position so as to likely endanger other persons using the said road. Further, police allege that he had behaved in a disorderly manner at the Central Police Station on March 1. Moreover, Warde was charged with possessing an offensive weapon, to wit a cutlass, after cops said he had the weapon without lawful authority or reasonable cause. The final charge the police had instituted against Warde was that he failed to stop when directed by Police Constable #20684 Haslyn George, a member of the Guyana Police Force in uniform, engaged in regulating the traffic on the Palmyra public road in the execution of his duties. The unrepresented Warde has pleaded not guilty to each of the charges. His matters have been fixed for hearing on May 15. *********************************************** WEDNESDAY 5 Mystery fire causes considerable damage to South Ruimveldt Shopping Plaza FIRE of as yet unknown origin ripped through Apartment 22 of the South Ruimveldt Shopping Plaza and caused considerable damage to the home of Althea Tucker, a nurse at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), who had worked the night shift on the night before the fire, and was preparing to return home on Monday morning when another nurse whose sister occupies one of the apartments at the Plaza told her to hurry home because the Shopping Plaza was on fire. Not for one moment did Tucker imagine it was her apartment that was on fire. “When I arrived in front of the yard, I saw a fire brigade and firemen working; but it wasn’t until I turned the corner in the yard that I realised it was my home,” the evidently distraught Nurse Tucker said. AG makes good on promise to take Kaieteur News to court AN INTERIM injunction was granted to Attorney-at-law, Sase Gunraj on behalf of Attorney-General, Anil Nandlall, signalling commencement of High Court proceedings for libel against Kaieteur News following its failure to retract false charges levelled against Minister Nandlall and to apologise therefor. The interim injunction prevents Kaieteur News from “further publishing the said or any similar libel to that effect concerning the plaintiff (Nandlall) as contained in articles published in the Kaieteur News newspapers on February 28, 2014 in a column styled “Dem boys Seh”, and captioned: “Tax dollars going to Sleep-In”; and on March 2, 2014, in a column styled “Ah Kneel Deh Pun A Hustle” until after the hearing and determination” of a summons. The legal action follows a letter sent to Kaieteur News Editor, Adam Harris by the AG’s lawyer, demanding that Harris retracts damning accusations in two columns titled “Dem boys Seh” and apologise within 24 hours, or face legal proceedings. The AG is claiming damages in excess of $20M for the publication of both columns, aggravated or exemplary damages in excess of $10M, costs, and further or other orders as the court deems just. The affidavit filed by the AG and seen by the Guyana Chronicle cites Adam Harris, Mohan Lall (aka Glenn Lall) and the National Media and Publishing Company Limited as defendants. The document stated that Harris “informed me that the said articles about me were published upon the instructions” of Lall. It adds that Harris promised that “a retraction and an apology will be duly published”, as requested by the AG. Teenage student confesses sex for lessons with teacher A TWENTY-TWO-YEAR old male teacher of a private school on East Bank of Demerara, who is being accused of rape, reportedly, gave the 14-year-old female student birth control pills after he had unprotected sex with her. During an exclusive interview with the Guyana Chronicle, the teenager, who is not a Guyanese, said she and her teacher had oral followed by penetrative sex on the school premises. She said the man is her Mathematics and Information Technology teacher but, when contacted at his home last week, the man told this newspaper that the girl was 17 years old but did not admit they had sexual relations. However, a birth certificate which was seen by this publication and confirms that the teen was not born in Guyana verified that she is 14 years old. Asked how the actual intimate connection began between her and the teacher, she said, when she first started out at the school in January, it was pointed out that she was weak in the two subject areas which the teacher tutors.
THURSDAY 6 Education Ministry announces start of enrolment in nursery schools for September term THE Ministry of Education has announced that enrollment in nursery schools for the September term has commenced. But unlike what obtained several years ago, children who are born on or before June 30 will be allowed to enrol in the year they turn three. Since initial announcement of the change in 2013, significant strides have been made, with parents being able to see their children given a chance for an early start in acquiring a sound education. The Education Ministry is encouraging parents and guardians to get their children placed at a school close to where they live. Registration forms are on the ministry’s website to facilitate a smoother and faster process. The ministry wishes to remind parents and guardians that they should have their children’s birth certificates and clinic cards on hand when going to register their children, as this would save them time. Parents/guardians should also be equipped with their National Identification Cards, and some proof of their address. Guyana and Norway to lead UN process on Financing for Development THE Permanent Representatives of Guyana and Norway have been appointed by the President of the United Nations General Assembly to lead a UN process on financing for development. Ambassador George Talbot of Guyana and his Norwegian counterpart, Ambassador Geir Pedersen, have been mandated to conduct inclusive and transparent intergovernmental consultations, with the participation of major institutional stakeholders, on all issues related to the forthcoming third international conference on financing for development, including the date, format, organisation and scope of the conference. The conference will likely be held in 2015. With the United Nations currently embarked on the elaboration of a post-2015 development agenda as a successor to the Millennium Development Goals framework that has anchored the Organisation’s work in development since 2000, an agreement on the means of implementation, including on financing, will be critical to the efficacy and successful implementation of the new agenda. The financing for development conference is expected to provide a holistic framework for mobilising resources from a variety of sources and for the effective use of financing for the achievement of the sustainable development goals that will be at the core of the post-2015 development agenda. Midnight visit to see children results in threatening language charges and a $20,000 fine ADRIAN Hetemeyer allegedly so wanted to see his four children that he recently paid them a visit at 23:30 hrs, but their mother, Swarsattie Doodnauth, informed him that they were asleep. Enraged, the 35-year-old Hetemeyer started using a series of expletives whilst threatening to chop the woman; so, becoming fearful, she awoke the children, opened the door and released them into his care. Not appeased, Hetemeyer invaded Doodnauth’s yard and began kicking at her closed door. And when Doodnauth’s live-in lover, Dwayne Rodrigues, attempted to intervene, Hetemeyer threatened to chop him into pound parcels before disappearing into the interior, where it would be impossible for the police to locate him. When the case was called before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, Doodnauth informed the court that she and Hetemeyer had been separated for six years, but since she commenced a relationship with Rodrigues, the defendant would constantly abuse her and her lover wherever he sees them. Hetemeyer pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening language, and was fined a total of $20,000 and bonded to keep the peace for a year. ******************************************

A Premature History of the Second Cold War BY GWYNNE DYER
THE first mistake of the Ukrainian revolutionaries was to abandon the agreement of February 23 to create a national unity government, including some of the revolutionary leaders who would administer the country until new elections in December. It would have left President Viktor Yanukovych in office until then, but with severely diminished powers, as the constitution would have been changed to restore the authority of parliament. Leaving a man who ordered the murder of dozens of protesters in power even temporarily was a bitter pill to swallow, but it had tacit Russian support because it saved President Vladimir Putin’s face. However, the crowds on Independence Square refused to accept the deal, and Yanukovych was forced to flee. Parliament subsequently ratified his removal, but it was the mob, and especially the rightwing fighting groups like Praviy Sektor, who led, and the leadership who followed. Putin was humiliated, and he was given the pretext for claiming that Ukraine had fallen to a “fascist coup” as a justification, however flimsy, for rejecting the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian government. The second grave error – and this one was entirely unforced – was the new government’s decision to repeal the law giving Russian equal status as an official language in provinces with large Russian-speaking populations. It delighted Ukrainian-speaking ultra-nationalists in the west of the country, but it needlessly alienated the two-fifths of Ukraine’s population who speak Russian as their first language. So now Putin is bringing presPRESIDENT sure on the new Ukrainian govVLADIMIR PUTIN ernment by backing a secessionist movement in Crimea (where threefifths of the people speak Russian). The rubber-stamp Russian parliament has also granted him authority to use Russian troops elsewhere in Ukraine to “protect” Russians – by which it seems to mean Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine who speak Russian, although they are not actually under attack. Putin has not yet sent Russian troops into the eastern parts of Ukraine. However, pro-Russian crowds have appeared in cities like Kharkov, Donetsk and Lugansk demanding Russian “protection” – amid plausible reports that many people in those crowds are actually Russians imported from just across the

border for the occasion, and not Russian-speaking Ukrainians at all. The promised Ukrainian election on May 25 may never happen. The Ukrainian army has been mobilised, and actual fighting could be only days away if the Rus-
SUNDAY CHRONICLE March 9, 2014 sians invade eastern Ukraine, or attack the encircled Ukrainian garrisons in Crimea. Maybe Putin is just bluffing; more likely, he doesn’t yet know himself how far he is willing to go. But one thing generally leads to another, and some bluffs are hard to walk away from. Are we on the brink of a new Cold War? It wouldn’t be a hot war, except in Ukraine. Nobody will send troops to defend Ukraine, nor should they. Nobody is in position to stop Russia from conquering Ukraine if it chooses to, and turning it into a wider European war (or a world war) would not help matters. In any case, Moscow would probably not try to conquer ALL of Ukraine. Kiev and the west would fight very hard, and after they were defeated they would continue to resist a Russian occupation with guerilla tactics, including terrorism. Putin doesn’t need that, so part of Ukraine would remain free, and call for outside help. It would come, in the form of financial and military aid, and maybe even what has hitherto been rigorously excluded from the discussion: NATO membership. And there Russia and everybody in NATO would sit for the next five, ten or twenty years in a frozen confrontation that would include a trade embargo, an arms race, and a remote but real possibility of a nuclear war. This is not at all what Putin intends or expects, of course. He is calculating that once he controls the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, he will be able to enforce a restructuring of the country as a federation in which the government of the eastern, Russian-speaking part will be permanently under Russia’s thumb, and will have a veto on the decisions of the central government. That’s all Putin wants out of this: a Ukrainian government that always respects Russia’s wishes. It could even pursue a different policy on issues like human rights, if it wants (so long as it doesn’t give Russians ideas). He doesn’t want to micro-manage the place. He’s not out to conquer the world. He’s not even out to re-conquer Eastern Europe. But Putin’s calculations about Ukraine have been wrong every single time since the turn of the century. He backed Yanukovych before 2004, and the Orange Revolution proved him wrong. He backed Yanukovych even more enthusiastically after 2010; the policy blew up in his face again. And here he is yet again, backing Yanukovych as the president-in-exile of his Russia-friendly fantasy version of Ukraine. His calculations are wrong. If he continues down this road, he will cause a quite needless political disaster.

The demise of Andy Moti - a most sad, unfortunate and heart rending story
By Michel Outridge
ANDY Moti, 13, called “Andre” who had no fixed place of abode after he fled the home of a relative because of being ill-treated and deprived and often had to work for food and slept in the streets of the community. The morning his body was found villagers began to tell his story of how he was unloved and alone. It is believed that the evening prior to the discovery of his body, the teen had sought refuge under a parked truck where he slept. Early last Wednesday morning the driver of the truck, who was unaware that Andy was sleeping under the truck started up the engine and accidentally ran over the teen’s head as he negotiated his way out of the street. The said truck driver has since turned himself in to the police accompanied by an attorney as he assists with the probe. Residents of Foulis, East Coast of Demerara, told the Guyana Chronicle that Andy did odd jobs in the community and would be paid and sometimes offered food. One woman said: “We knew his story and wanted to help him but we have girl children in our home and we could not allow him to stay but we gave him a meal or work whenever the need arises since he was on his own.” Villagers said that the teen was a good-natured person, who
genuinely wanted to be a part of a family and it was sad knowing he needed help but was shun by his own relatives, whose home he fled after he was not treated well. He was cared for by his mother, a single parent, who died tragically by a road accident when he was just two years old, then a relative took him in for a year after which his aunt, Ramrattie Ronie was his sole guardian. Andy is originally from Mahaica, East Coast of Demerara and resided with the aunt until the start of 2014 he packed his worldly possessions which consisted of several prices of clothes and left. Then he had nowhere to go since he was mostly rejected by relatives and took to the streets in that community. Villagers told this publication that Andy would ask them for something to eat after completing odd jobs for them. However, they always felt that the teen should have been assisted and placed in a home for children and at least be able to attend school and given three meals. For Andy, nobody really cared for him and Andre Moti he often talked of having a ‘real’ family one day.

International Women’s Day…
Women and Gender Equality Commission honours remarkable women
SUNDAY CHRONICLE March 9, 2014 By Michelle Gonsalves IN honour of International Women Day on March 8 the Women and Gender Equality Commission launched an exhibition to highlight the lives and accomplishments of remarkable women both local and international, at the Parliament Chamabers last Wednesday. The exhibition showcases twelve women, seven of whom are from Guyana’s shores. DESIREE BERNARD THE Honourable Madam Justice Desiree Bernard is the first female to hold many illustrious positions. In 1980 she was appointed the first female judge in the High Court of the Supreme Court of Guyana, where she had practiced since 1965. In 1992, she was appointed the first female Justice of Appeal in the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Guyana; in 1996, the first female Chief Justice; in 2001, the first female Chancellor of the Judiciary of Guyana and the Caribbean and in 2005, the first female Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice. Her illustrious career has been studded with appointments to distinguished posts, nationally, regionally and internationally. She has served as a member of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the International Association of Women Judges and as Vice President of the International Federation of Women Lawyers. Regionally - a member of the Caribbean Council of Legal Education, President of the Organisation of the Commonwealth Caribbean Bar Associations. She has been at the forefront in the formation of the Caribbean Women’s Association, the Georgetown Toastmistress Club, the Conference on the Affairs and Status of Women in Guyana (CASWIG), Guyana Consumer’s Association and the Guyana Association of Women Lawyers. In the area of volunteerism, she was the first female Chancellor of the Anglican Diocese of Guyana (and the first in the Province of the West Indies) as well as a member of the Guyana Girl Guides Association’s Board of Trustees. She has penned papers on gender and legal issues including DESIREE BERNARD “Confronting Gender-Based Violence in the Caribbean” which will be included in a forthcoming publication edited by Prof. Kenneth Hall and Myrtle Chuck-A-Sang, titled “The Caribbean Integration Process, A People Centred Approach”. Her nine awards include the Medal of Service from the Caribbean Women’s Association and the Order of Roraima of Guyana, the second highest national award of Guyana and now, the 2005 CARICOM Triennial Award for Women. LYLA KISSOON LYLA Kissoon has over 50 years experience at the helm of one of the largest and most enduring businesses in the country. Born Lyla Sankar on February 19, 1930, in Nickerie, Dutch Guiana to Amin and Zohora Sankar, she was the second of eight children. At the age of eight, Lyla and her older sister Amna came to Guyana with their father where his very first task was to get them both into Bishops’ High which at the time was the best all-girls school in the country. After Bishops’ High School, she abandoned her ambition of becoming a doctor to work at her father’s hardware store on Water Street when she was 18 –years old. She soon met and married Alston Kissoon, and they decided to go into business for themselves, on the lot that is now home to Republic Bank at Camp and Robb Streets, they opened a dry goods store on December 9, 1951. One day in 1955, while on a trip to New York to buy stock for the business, Alston visited a furniture plant. He was so impressed by what he saw that he came home and convinced Lyla that their next venture would be to open up a furniture factory here. The couple brought in experts to teach them and their staff about the operations; they then combined these with the tried and true techniques of local craftsmen to produce their furniture. A. H. & L. Kissoon was one of the first to start offering Hire Purchase in those days. On January 8, 1966, Alston Kissoon was convinced by a friend in the government to attend a trade fair in India. On January 24, he changed his flight from British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) to Air India because the British flight was running late and he wanted to get home to his family. Early in the morning of January 24, 1966, Air India flight 101 crashed into Mont Blanc in France killing all 117 persons on board. Widowed at thirty-five, she refused to fade away into protracted mourning. Three months after the loss of her husband she was meeting the Queen in Georgetown during Guyana’s independence celebrations wearing a sari – the first one she had ever worn – bought by her husband in India and sent to her specifically for LYLA KISSOON the occasion before his ill-fated flight. Her celebrity status was consolidated during the post- independence years, partially on account of her singular prominence as a businesswoman managing considerable assets and equally on account of her appearance at almost every occasion of national import. She took charge of the business and with the partnership and support of Hemraj Kissoon, a relative of her husband who had been with them since 1952, the Kissoon Group of Companies rose to even greater heights. Eventually marrying Hemraj, she managed every single aspect of the businesses, she learned the work from the bottom up over the years, she was a secretary, a bookkeeper, a typist, an accountant, a supervisor, a manager and the list goes on and on. Lyla was also involved in charitable and service organisations too numerous to mention over the many years that she worked full-time. One of her favourite efforts was that of establishing the Guyana Cancer Society almost four decades ago. In 1988, she was awarded the Golden Arrow of Achievement by President Desmond Hoyte for whom she worked as an adviser. MARILYN DEWAR LEGENDARY local pianist Marilyn Dewar is a sought after music teacher in Guyana. An accomplished pianist from the age of three, Marilyn Dewar also plays the cello, organ, violin, recorder, and sings as well. She is an accompaniment with the renowned Woodside Choir and Secretary of the Music Teachers’ Association of Guyana for the last twenty years. She is also one of the founding

members of the Broadcast to Schools programme. By age 11, she had moved on to the violin with Mr. Francis Percival Loncke, writer of the National Song “My Guyana Eldorado.” Wanting to accomplish more, she then learned to play the cello under the watchful eyes of Mr. John Bumbury. Soon she was one of the youngest members of the National Symphony and Princeville Orchestras and was playing her violin at events all over the country. Recognising her exceptional musical abilities, her mother encouraged her to begin playing the organ when she was about 12 years old .This saw her going to the Trinity Methodist Church to learn from the esteemed Winslow Smith. A short time later, organist of Christ Church where Marilyn attend, Chapman Edwards died and she was granted a scholarship in his name to play the organ at the church and further her studies in this area. By her mid-teens she was the Deputy Organist at the church and playing at all the services. Marilyn attended the Fountain AME Primary in New Garden Street and St Cambridge Academy on South Road. On attaining her certificate from the Teachers’ Training College she taught music at Queens College, Bishops’ High and Charlestown. She was then seconded to work with the Broadcast to Schools Programme where she single handedly coordinated and conducted the programme for close to ten years. While there she was awarded a British Council scholarship to the BBC which afforded her an opportunity to work at Tavistock House in London. Recalling this tenure, she noted that it showcased Guyanese’ prowess at multi-tasking. MARILYN DEWAR In 1973, while still with the Broadcast to Schools programme she met her husband David to whom she has been married for the last 36 years. She is also on a mission to revitalise what she sees as “the waning of music in Guyana”. Teaching students to play the piano has been her major focus for the last thirty years and while it is done primarily out of love for the music genre. She has taught thousands of prestigious persons and she currently works six days per week until very late into the evenings sometimes. She advocates the need for music to return to the curriculum of public schools. As another way of keeping music alive, Marilyn has been instrumental in resuscitating the Guyana Music Festival this April which has not been held since 1997. The festival which began in 1952 allows musicians of all genres to showcase their talent by competing in a number of areas.
Committee of UNESCO’s General History of the Caribbean. At her retirement from U.G. in 1990 Sister Menezes was honoured in a touching public ceremony on campus, the first of its kind for a member of the teaching staff in the university’s long history. This was clear evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by the university community. While recording achievement after achievement as a teacher, administrator, re-searcher and writer, Sister Menezes remarkably found time to be involved in a number of philanthropic activities. As the UWI public orator, Professor Barbara Lalla, stated in the citation for Sister before presenting her to Chancellor Sir George Alleyne to receive her honorary degree last Friday evening, she is “a selfless and effective humanitarian... who rendered phenomenal humanitarian service.”
SISTER MARY NOEL MENEZES Sister Mary Noel Menezes respectfully and affectionately called “Sister” or “Sister Noel” by those who know her, was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws (LL.D). She was the only female among a small select group of four eminent Caribbean nationals who were awarded honorary doctoral degrees by the Region’s premier educational institution. Whereas the other three awardees, namely Professor Raymond Gosling, a scientist, Justice Joseph Archibald and Mr. Tajmool Hosein, a legal luminary, were honoured for their academic/professional achievements, Sister Menezes’ award was in recognition of both her academic accomplishments as a professional historian and her altruism. At a special luncheon in honour of the four Honorary Graduants, the host, Dr. Bhoendradatt Tiwari, the Pro vice-chancellor and Campus Principal, commended her for being a rarity in today’s increasingly materialistic world by being a scholar who was a genuine philanthropist. Most of Sister Menezes’ life as an academic was spent at the University of Guyana. After teaching for two years at colleges in the United States of America in the mid-1960s, she joined the U.G staff in September 1967 and served there until her retirement 23 years later in 1990. During this lengthy period she had numerous academic achievements. Among them was the enviable reputation that she gained, as being one of the institutions most stimulating and engrossing teachers. Moreover, Sister-an efficient, creative, fearless administrator, served as head of the Department of History for nine years (19771986), transforming this hitherto humdrum department into one of the finest departments in the entire university. Furthermore, in 1973 she initiated the university’s first Master’s Degree Programme - a M.A. in Guyanese and West Indian History. She served as the Chief Co-ordinator of this programme for 17 years, from its inception to her retirement in 1990. In that capacity she trained a new generation of professional Guyanese historians. Some of them, notably Dr. James Rose and Dr. David Chanderbali, respectively the current vice-chancellor and Registrar, Mr. Tota Mangar, the Dean of the School of Education and Humanities, and Ms. Cecelia Mc Almont, the Head of the Department of Social Studies, are still serving the university. Others, including Dr. Basdeo Mangru, the university’s first Master’s graduate, Dr. Marguerite Chase-Garvey and Dr. Kimani Nehusi, are pursuing successful academic careers overseas. Sister Menezes was one of University of Guyana’s (UG) SISTER MARY leading researchers and most prolific writers. Her research greatly NOEL MENEZES enhanced knowledge especially of two areas in Guyanese history in which she became the recognised authority. These areas are the history of the Amerindians, the subject of her doctoral dissertation at the University of London in England from 1970 to 1973, and the history of the Portuguese. She produced four books on these two subjects, namely, British Policy Towards the Amerindians in British Guiana, 1803-1873 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1977); The Amerindians in Guyana 1803-1873. A Documentary History (London: Frank Cass and Co. Ltd., 1979); Scenes from the History of the Portuguese in Guyana (London: The Author, 1986); and the Portuguese of Guyana: A Study in Culture and Conflict (Gujarat: The Anand Press, 1992). Two other of her numerous publications are particularly cherished by students. Her book, The Amerindians and the Europeans is one of the most informative sources of knowledge for this popular theme in the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) Caribbean History syllabus. Secondly, her Guide to Historical Research, later revised with a new title, How to Do Better Research, continues to be an invaluable guide especially to university students in all disciplines on research methodology. Sister Menezes’ growing stature as a historian received special recognition on three occasions in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The first occasion was in 1978 when she became the first female president of the Association of Caribbean Historians, the regional body of historians founded in 1968. She served in that capacity for two years. Secondly, in 1980 she was promoted to the position of Professor of History at U.G., the first holder of this post. Finally, in 1981, she was appointed a member of the Drafting
MAGDA POLLARD (Pollard photo) Magda Lois Muriel Pollard a stalwart women’s activist, was fittingly bestowed the honour of the fourth CARICOM Triennial Award for Women in 1993. Throughout her country of birth and the wider Caribbean region, the name Magda Pollard is synonymous with the movement for women’s empowerment and women’s rights. The creation of a liberating and sustaining environment for women is the passion which fuels her lifelong and consistent service in the arena of women’s development. Ms Pollard commenced her career in the field of Home Economics, pursuing this endeavour and earning the Teacher’s Diploma from the Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science, and also gaining prizes as the Best Child Teacher and for Needlework. She later pursued the Postgraduate Certificate Course at the Queen Elizabeth College, London University, in Home Economics related to Community Development, gaining a distinction. A significant part of her post university years were spent on return to her home land at the Carnegie School of Home Economics as both lecturer and Principal. With boldness, she accepted the challenge of spearheading the development of a programme for women within CARICOM. Her appointment as the first Women’s Affairs Officer at the CARICOM Secretariat opened vast opportunities for her to impact the lives, not only of Guyanese women, but women throughout the Region. The many initiatives and programmes that emanated from the Women’s Desk gave impetus to the process of gender mainstreaming within CARICOM and set the agenda for the integration of actions and policies to benefit women in regional programmes. Ms. Pollard’s invaluable contribution to women’s development in the Caribbean captured regional attention and earned her several honours and awards in addition to the CARICOM Triennial Award. She has received the 1992 CARIFESTA Award for Women, MAGDA POLLARD two national awards, the Cacique Crown of Honour and the Golden Arrowed of Achievement as well as the special award of the Caribbean Association of Home Economists of which she was a founding member. Her career of service extends to membership of various commissions and bodies with women’s welfare as the primary goal and she is currently Chairperson of the Guyana National Commission on Women. Ms. Pollard was at the helm of a regional project to prepare model legislation for the removal of all forms of discrimination against women which addressed rights of citizenship, inheritance, domestic violence and sexual offences. Significant hallmarks of her career included her contribution to the establishment of focal points in government departments to address the issue of the advancement of women. During her tenure she organised for the creation of Women’s Bureaus in the OECS. Ms. Pollard spearheaded a three-year programme – Management for Development: Effecting Change whose target included senior women administrators. Her illustrious career spans participation in the emerging network among UN specialised agencies, representation at various regional and UN Fora; and the creation of inroads in strengthening relations between governments and non-governmental organisations. She has to her credit two publications on Home Economics which she has co-authored. A woman of grace and dignity, Magda Pollard is highly regarded by her peers and the wider community. Her continued active engagement in work to raise the level of consciousness about the status of women and to engender necessary reform attests to a deep and unswerving life commitment to creating a better environment within which women would live.
DIANE MCTURK Diane McTurk is the visionary behind both the Karanambu Trust and the Karanambu Lodge. The North Rupununi is also her home. She was born at Karanambu soon after her pioneer father, Tiny McTurk, established a cattle ranch there. Tiny was also a naturalist and Diane learned to appreciate the region’s extraordinary flora and fauna at an early age. After attending the Wychwood School in Oxford, England, she moved to London to work in the hospitality business for the Savoy Group. In 1966, Diane returned to Guyana to celebrate the country’s independence. She subsequently became the Press Officer for The Guyana Sugar Producers Association. She moved back to England briefly and worked in corporate public relations before returning to her Rupununi roots in 1976. Like all the cattle ranches in the area at the time, Karanambu had suffered from a series of misfortunes: epidemics of diseases had decimated the herds, and there were difficulties protecting the cattle from rustlers. As a result, Diane looked for alternatives to make a living. Karanambu was well known for its wildlife and spectacular fishing, and had always been a welcome rest stop for unexpected visitors. So, in 1983, she opened her home to eco-tourists. Diane also offered refuge to injured or orphaned wildlife. Sadly, the animal that appeared most often was one of the most endanDIANE MCTURK gered: the Giant Otter. By necessity, Diane became a world expert on the care and rehabilitation of this species. She has raised over 40 orphaned otter cubs, returning most of them to the wild for a chance at freedom. In 1997, Diane, with the support of the McTurk family, established the Karanambu Trust as a private charity.

- even as jilted abusive husband severely wounds her new lover and promises to finish them both off By Michel Outridge
TAXI driver Sultan Eshack (40) of Lot 419 Belle West Housing Scheme, West Bank of Demerara was on Friday night chopped several times to his head, forehead and neck, allegedly by the husband of his reputed wife of three weeks. In obvious pain after being discharged from the West Demerara Regional Hospital, Eshack spoke with this publication from the sanctuary of his home yesterday afternoon, his head heavily bandaged. Relating his experience and giving some background information into the incident, Eshack, a father of five, said he had separated from his own wife more than six months ago, and had started a relationship with this man’s wife, Hardai Harrichand Singh, called “Navita”,
prior to her moving in to reside with him at his home. He alleged that a week after Navita had severed relations with her husband of 18 years and father of her three children, the man had showed up at his house, saying he would burn the building down and kill both Eshack and Navita. Thereafter, he said, the man would often call her cellphone to threaten that he would end her life in a murder/suicide act. A report was made to the police, and a week after, the Welfare Officer spoke to Navita, who related her plight. Navita told the Guyana Chronicle that she had, this year, left her candy vendor husband of 18 years because he would often beat her in front of their children, and he was very abusive, both physically and verbally.
Hardai Harrichand Singh, called Navita, and Sultan Eshack The frightened Hardai Harrichand Singh disclosed that she had stayed in the marriage for so long because of her three children; but she had had enough of the abuse, and decided to remove from her matrimonial home this year to start a fresh relationship with Eshack at his home, where she currently resides. Despite the report having been made to the police and the Welfare Department, the woman said, her husband would not leave her alone. Eshack said he had returned home at about 20:00 hrs to check on Navita, but as he entered his yard, he was attacked by the cutlass-wielding man, who had apparently concealed himself in the yard to await his return. The man chopped him repeatedly to the head and other parts of his body, even as he, being unarmed, tried to fend off the attack. He said he sustained severe injuries to the head, and he displayed several gaping wounds to prove his point. Even after the chopping incident, Navita disclosed, the jilted man telephoned her to say he would finish off Eshack and then deal with her, since he had only been able to deal Eshack several chops. Although the police had been informed of the incident, they did not show up at the residence to investigate, and have reportedly told persons who called the station that they would have to visit the Wales Police Station to make a report, since the police were “busy”. Up to press time, the police did not show up at the scene, even as the cutlass lay in the drain outside the residence where the attack occurred; and when relatives of Navita and Eshack showed up at the Wales Police Station, they were told that ranks were all occupied at the opening of the Wales Magistrate’s Court, thus the matter would engage their attention later.

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine FRIDAY 7 One dead, three critical in Soesdyke accident A YOUNG Christian man whose only name was given as Aaron, and who is said to be the son of a pastor, died after the Tapir in which he and several other young Christians were travelling collided with a truck just off the Soesdyke Public Road. Among those involved in the accident were Fabian Williams, Adlenne Simpson and Kishnna Singh. Two of the three are said to be from an interior location, while the other is from the Corentyne in Berbice. The Guyana Chronicle was informed by persons close to the injured that the young people were travelling west along the Soesdyke Highway, after wrapping up a session at Bible School. They were heading to reach another church sister who was having a crusade. It is not clear how the tapir and the truck came to collide, but this publication was informed that the truck might have entered the lane of the tapir. At the Diamond Hospital, church members began converging to offer comfort and support to the injured and their relatives, as other members who accompanied the injured to the hospital sought to get the names of those who were involved in the accident, and to ensure that their relatives were informed in a timely manner. After being stabilised at the Diamond Hospital, some of the injured were transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further medical attention and observation. An ambulance from the Guyana Defence Force also assisted in transporting the injured to the GPHC. Food vendor killed in hit-and-run accident laid to rest VEGETARIAN (ital) food vendor, Claude Derrick Mc Pherson, called ‘Chippy’, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident on February 27, was laid to rest following an emotional farewell service at the Church of God of Prophecy, Pineapple Street, East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme. During the service loud wails penetrated the atmosphere as hymns were sung in the crowded church. Some family members and relatives resorted to kneeling in front of the coffin while others collapsed and had to be assisted. Residents and others, some of whom stood outside the church, were all solemn as they paid their last respects to the well-known food vendor, who operated a food stall on Mandela Avenue. Family members and relatives renewed their calls for justice after the hit-and-run accident that took their loved one’s life. According to reports, ‘Chippy,’ 43, of Lot 169 East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown, was struck off his bicycle and dragged for more than 400 yards from the point of impact by a Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) vehicle at about 21:00 hrs on February 27 at Trench Road. He was said to be on his way home at the time in order to retrieve his cell phone which he had forgotten when he was killed. This newspaper understands that the GWI driver who was involved in the hit-and-run accident that took the life of McPherson has turned himself over to the police. A post-mortem revealed that Mc Pherson died as a result of multiple injuries. Relatives said his body was broken in almost every part. Two Canadian companies merge to boost Eagle Mountain Gold Project TWO major Canadian mining companies, Goldsource Mines Inc. and Eagle Mountain Gold Corporation have merged forces with the aim of accelerating the development of the Eagle Mountain Gold Project, near Mahdia in Region 8 (Potaro/Siparuni). Eagle Mountain Gold Corp. which has exclusive rights to Eagle Mountain announced the merger with Goldsource earlier this week. As a result, the company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldsource. Meanwhile, top officials of both companies have expressed optimism that the merger will deliver good results for the Eagle Mountain gold mining venture. Ioannis (Yannis) Tsitos, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Eagle Mountain Gold Corp. said that the merger had received the overwhelming support of the shareholders and he believed that this new era will drive significant growth and sustainable value for them. J. Scott Drever, CEO of Goldsource Mines, disclosed that he was pleased that the business combination had been successfully completed. “I love my husband so much and it’s his first mistake”- court told AN Indian national accused of assaulting his wife had the charge against him dismissed Wednesday by Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond after no evidence was offered. Thirty-two-year-old Sunil Kumar of Lot 26 Success Housing Scheme, East Coast of Demerara, denied the allegations which stated that on March 4 at Balwant Singh Hospital, East Street, Georgetown, he committed the offence against Lilawattie Pooran, 19. The woman gave sworn testimony that she did not wish to proceed with the matter. The magistrate asked Pooran if she had received any threats or promises to influence her against giving any evidence in the matter, and she responded: “I love my husband so much, and it’s his first mistake.” *********************************************** SATURDAY 8 Assurances of justice given at Wales Court commissioning THE Wales Magistrate Court, at West Bank of Demerara, was commissioned in another act towards improving the justice system through infrastructural advancement. Speaking on the occasion, Attorney-General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall stated that, in the last seven years, Guyana has seen more advances in the process, also through legislative moves, since Guyana became independent. “The judicial system must be positioned to
be equal and accessible,” Nandlall said, as he referred to the support this country secured with a loan of US$25M from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB for the modernisation. According to him, by these efforts, to date, court buildings have either been rehabilitated, expanded or refurbished and, in some communities, new structures were erected. Among the other undertakings he cited were the compilation of the revised laws of Guyana, the Guyana Law Reports from 1977 to 2007, the modernisation of the legislative landscape with the passage of more than 100 pieces of legislation to improve the administration of the justice system and the increase in the complement of High Court judges, from 12 to 20. Police arrest reputed wife for death of West Bank of Demerara miner THE reputed wife of Dennis Harris, 44, a miner of 1525 Onderneeming, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank of Demerara, is in police custody assisting with investigations following his death. The detainee’s daughter, Samantha Wray, told this publication that she was at home with her three children including her newborn baby when her mother, Yonette Grumbs, 45, and her stepfather Dennis Harris returned home after midnight from a birthday celebration of Harris’s grandfather held in the same village. She explained that her stepfather was under the influence of alcohol, because, when he arrived home he began, as usual, to quarrel with her mother and behave in a loud and disorderly manner. After a few minutes, he was locked outside the house after he picked up a scissors and pointed it at her mother, saying he would end her life. In a fit of rage, he punched one of the front glass windows of the house and sustained a gaping wound to his hand. Thereafter, he went to a relative’s house a block away from where he was transported to the hospital. Samantha Wray said they did not even know Harris was dead, until the police showed up at their door at about 03:01 hrs, saying they had come to arrest her mother for Harris’s murder. Malaria cases decreasing but early diagnosis still urged GUYANA, in 2013, recorded a significant decrease in the number of malaria cases and health authorities continue to urge early diagnosis of the vector-borne disease in a bid to reduce the mortality rate. According to a Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) report, figures released by the Ministry of Health show that for 2013, there were 23,489 as against 31,602 in 2012.Although the ministry gave no figures regarding the number of deaths, it indicated that malaria mortality rates are continually falling as increased prevention and control measures dramatically lessen its impact. The ministry said efforts at combating the ailment, driven through its Vector Control Services (VCS), still bear fruit but that the hinterland locations remain the most vulnerable to the sickness. The ministry said, within those regions, climatic and other conditions favour transmission that also occurs when people with low immune systems move into those places in search of jobs and are negligent in taking protective steps, such as sleeping under mosquito nets and using insect repellents. The health officials said one of the biggest interventions by the VCS in 2013 has been the distribution of some 42,000 insecticide-treated nets for use in beds and hammocks. Teixeira slams GHRA for linking the Rodney CoI to electioneering PRESIDENTIAL Advisor on Governance, Ms Gail Teixeira, has said she finds it “unfath-
omable” that the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) has refused to bring whatever documents, evidence, and opinions it has to the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) that was set up into the death of brilliant Guyanese historian/politician Dr. Walter Rodney. “It is unfathomable to me. Rodney was a most outstanding leader that this country produced,” she told a post-Cabinet news conference. The GHRA said this week that it is unwilling to give evidence in the inquiry, noting that at a time of much speculation over general and regional elections, the proposed CoI could be read as the worst form of electioneering. “The GHRA is of the view that the proposed CoI into the death of Dr Walter Rodney has greater potential for reviving, rather than healing, ethnic division in Guyana. Should this indeed be the outcome, it would be a travesty of Dr Rodney’s major contribution to Guyana,” the human rights body has said. But a notably annoyed Teixeira told reporters following the conference: “Personally, I was around in that period, and I know about the marches across this country. Nothing can match what happened in that period in terms of racial unity, political unity of the opposition parties. Here is a man blown to pieces and we have to get into academic exercise of [the] GHRA talking about electioneering and racial unity? For people like me, who lived in that period, this is offensive. It is personally offensive.

Benn snares five as Guyana surrender first innings points -match interestingly poised as B’dos lead by 156 runs By Calvin Roberts THANKS to Suleiman Benn’s 5 for 28, coupled with Ashley Nurse’s 3 for 51 engineered a Guyana batting collapse from 92 without loss to 140, in reply to Barbados’ 184 within the first hour of their post lunch session on the second day of their West Indies Cricket Board Regional four day second round contest at the Guyana National Stadium, last night. Barbados, led their host by 40 runs on the first innings, increased same to 156 at the close of play, with Kevin Stoute 15 and Shane Dowrich 9 being their not out batsmen. Earlier in the contest Guyana resumed on 35 without loss, with Sewnarine

Chattergoon and Tagenarine Chanderpaul on 14 and 11 respectively and posted their 50 from 25.5 overs in the face of some discipline bowling from the visitors, with Chattergoon 24 and Chanderpaul on 14. The introduction of Ashley Nurse at the start of the 30th over of the home team’s innings and 13th for the day, saw Chattergoon cutting the off spinner past Roston Chase at gully for his fifth boundary. At the other end, a short delivery from Tino Best was steered to vacant third man by Chanderpaul, while a short delivery from Best was pulled for six over backward squareleg by Chattergoon, as the Guyanese moved to 69 without loss at the end of the first hour’s play. S t r a n g e l y, K r a i g g Brathwaite opted to use the medium pace of Jonathan Carter instead of Carlos Brathwaite and even Suleiman Benn’s spin and Chattergoon cashed in by steering the bowler past Rashidi Boucher at gully for four, followed by another boundary off Nurse in the following over. A Tagenarine Chanderpaul four square of the wicket off Carter, brought back memories of his father Shivnarine Chanderpaul at such a young age, while Chattergoon raced closer to his 22nd first class half century, with his eighth four off Nurse. The 32 year old Chattergoon got his first half century of this year ’s tournament in the following over bowled by Benn, counting eight fours and one six from the 120 deliveries he faced, as he pushed the score to 90 without loss with Chanderpaul who was on 27. A double strike by Nurse, accounted for Chattergoon 50 (129 balls, 8x4; 1x6, 151mins) and Assad Fudadin who edged his first delivery through to Dowrich, leaving Guyana on 92 for 2 in the 40th over, with Chanderpaul on 27 being joined by Narsingh Deonarine. Barbados should have removed Chanderpaul, but Miguel Cummins who was
stationed at mid-off, grassed the chance when the batsman was on 29 at 92 for 2 in the 43rd over, with the ball racing away to the vacant long off boundary for four. They however got Deonarine who failed to respond positively to Chan-

derpaul’s call for a single and was run out by the full length of the pitch, while Nurse struck 13 minutes before lunch when Christopher Barnwell (02) picked out Stoute at short extra cover, off a dangerous looking Nurse. Guyana reached their 100 from 46.1 overs with Chanderpaul on 36 and Vishal Singh yet to score and at lunch they were 107 for 4 with Chanderpaul 37 and Singh 5, trailing Barbados by 77 runs. Guyana slipped to 111 for 6 within the first four
overs after lunch, losing Chanderpaul run out for 41 (156balls, 151mins, 5x4) and Singh (05) who feathered one through to Dowrich off Benn, to be 111 for 6, losing six wickets for 19 runs. Barbados wasted little or no time in wrapping up Guyana’s innings, as the lanky Benn and Nurse who bowled in tandem for the post luncheon session, claimed the remaining six wickets for 33 runs from 18.4 overs, as Anthony Bramble’s 22 (37b, 51mins, 2x4) offered little resistance, leaving Keon Joseph unbeaten on 1. At the dinner break, Barbados who were asked to bat for 33 minutes were 18 for 1, losing Kraigg Brathwaite who was lbw to Joseph for 5, with Rashidi Boucher on 7 and Roston Chase 4 Permaul, who was guilty of bowling short and wide of the off stump, was struck for three fours by Boucher, with the third flying past Barnwell in the solitary slip position, while the Barbadians got to their 50 from 19.2 overs and 66 minutes batting, with Boucher on 31 and Chase 12. Guyana removed Boucher 36 (65b, 93mins, 7x4) courtesy of a juggling catch by Singh at gully off Johnson, while Carter was caught by a diving Chanderpaul at long on, off Bishoo for 19 (25balls, 3x4; 1x6 28mins) at 90 for 3 in the 32nd over. They reached the 100 from 35.5 overs with

Unearthing a strong pace attack is the quickest way to turn a team around By Ian Chappell IF you need proof that the quickest way to turn around the fortunes of a cricket team is to unearth a strong pace attack, the Australian Test team provided ample clarification in the 2013-14 season. Seven victories in eight Tests against the two strongest opponents in the competition was conclusive evidence that good fast bowlers can change fortunes quickly. Nevertheless, while it was the bowlers who started the resurgence, by the time Australia polished off South Africa with just a few balls remaining in Capetown, most of the side were contributing to the success. There’s no doubt Mitchell Johnson with his pace, bounce and aggression started Australia’s Banzai Pipeline surge at the Gabba. And it was the indefatigable Ryan Harris who rode the final wave to shore at Capetown but in-between time, the batsmen and
the captain made considerable contributions. Michael Clarke is the right captain for Johnson. It was Clarke who told a struggling Johnson in 2009; “Just run up and bowl fast.” Forget swing, don’t worry about line and length, just bowl fast was Clarke’s remedy for what ailed Johnson. He has followed his
If any who suffer a setback isn’t inspired to give a little extra after witnessing Harris’ superhuman efforts, then they can be discarded without being a loss to the cause. If Harris set the bar for the bowlers, then Clarke’s first innings in Capetown did the same for Australia’s batsmen. His courage and determination in defying
black hole at number three. Alex Doolan is not the long-term answer and this will become apparent if Warner’s form slips. If Australia can unearth a suitable three and develop a succession plan for Chris Roger’s spot, they’ll be even more formidable. While Clarke and Harris have set a wonderful example for those tasked with main-
Mitchell Johnson (R) headlines a resurgent Aussie pace attack this summer. captain’s instructions perfectly and it’s been a highly successful strategy. Clarke understands his bowlers. Captains like Graeme Smith and Alistair Cook change bowlers but Clarke has a feel for the best way to dismiss batsmen and he senses the moment when a trundler might achieve success. This attribute was crucial in the final session at Capetown. With victory hopes ebbing away like the outgoing tide, Clarke turned to his warrior, Harris. Harris knows no barriers and in this regard he reminds me of Dennis Lillee. Lillee was always the last player to concede defeat; to an opponent or a pitch. Harris is the same and like Lillee, he also has an enormous pain threshold. If Harris never bowls another ball in Test cricket he can be proud of his hundred wickets but his greatest legacy will be to younger pace bowlers.
a barrage from Morne Morkel sent a strong message to his teammates; runs aren’t always come by easily and they’re savoured most when they’re hard-earned. Tw o b a t s m e n w h o ’ v e learned quickly this summer, David Warner and Steve Smith, are another reason for Australia’s amazing turnaround. Warner’s ability to dominate the start of an innings was always a trump card, as the opposition feared him before he’d even faced a ball. He’s now even more dangerous with consistency and a thirst for centuries added to his arsenal. Warner, like Smith, has the potential to be a leader in the future but to achieve that status he needs to abort his relentless search for conflict when fielding. Warner can beat an opponent with his bat; he doesn’t need to double up with his mouth. Warner’s outstanding form has camouflaged Australia’s
taining standards in the future, it’d be unfair to overlook the considerable contribution of Brad Haddin. He quietly and efficiently set the standard before the resurgence had gathered momentum; when good examples were a high priority. While his batting waned in South Africa his glove work didn’t and it’s no coincidence that Haddin’s keeping was excellent and Australia’s fielding standards were way above those of both England and South Africa. The platform for Australia’s great resurgence was established by the seniors but the younger players have absorbed the lessons. Australia are once again a Test power and they have three outstanding attributes that should ensure they remain the case - excellent pace bowling, an imaginative captain and an aggressive opening bat.

Thirimanne, Jayawardene bat Sri Lanka to Asia Cup crown (REUTERS) - LAHIRU Thirimanne returned to torment Pakistan again as in-form Sri Lanka lifted the Asia Cup title after their comprehensive five-wicket victory in the final yesterday. Thirimanne, who hit a century in the tournament opener against Pakistan, replicated the feat by hitting a sparkling 101 and featured in a 156-run partnership with Mahela Jayawardene as Sri Lanka chased down the 261-run victory target with 22 balls to spare.
Unbeaten in the tournament, Sri Lanka began strongly with their openers putting on a half-century stand before Saeed Ajmal dismissed Kusal Perera (42) and the scoreless Kumar Sangakkara, leading scorer in the tournament until the final, off successive deliveries to reduce them to 56-2 in the 11th over. Jayawardene (75) not only denied Ajmal a hat-trick but also shook off his own bad form to forge a match-winning stand with Thirimanne against
a Pakistan team, whose sloppy performance on the field did little to help their cause of defending a modest total. Thirimanne fell to Ajmal in the 45th over after his third ODI century that contained 13 boundaries but the match was over for Pakistan by then. Earlier, Fawad Alam (114 not out) struck his maiden century while skipper Misbah-ulHaq (65) and Umar Akmal (59) chipped in with useful half-centuries to help Pakistan overcome a wobbly start and post 260 for
2014 BCB/Tenelec Inc. Under-15
Kevin Sinclair slams 100 and takes 7 for 4 for Police CRICKET action in the 2014 Berbice Cricket Board (BCB)-organised Tenelec Inc.-sponsored Under-15 Inter-club competition started recently across the Ancient County, with Kevin Sinclair and Seon Glasgow Jr highlighting the round with their individual performances. Representing Police, Sinclair who bowls off-spin took 7 for 4 to help his side scuttle out Rose Hall Community Centre for a paltry 13, before he opened the batting and struck an even century, the first of the competition, adding 186 for the first wicket with Ravindra Beharry (42) as Police scored 217 for 8 declared. However, their aim to push for an outright win was denied by the Rose Hall batsmen, who in their second innings held firm to be 19 for 2, thus earning themselves a creditable draw. Like Sinclair, Glasgow
… Glasgow Jr has 10-wicket haul Jr also bowls off-spin and he wasted little time in garnering 4 for 31 which together with leg-spinner Sachin Veerasammy’s 3 for 3, enabled Blairmont Community Centre to dismiss Bush Lot New Generation for 79, Yovindra Budhu topscoring with 34. Veerasammy returned with the bat to top-score with 65, as Blairmont replied with 166 for 6 declared, receiving support from Javed Karim who made 32, even as Budhu took 3 for 26 and Kris Ramnarine 2 for 31. In their second innings, Bush Lot made 112, with Ramnarine, who represented Berbice at the Under-15 level last year, slamming 82 in the face of Glasgow’s 6 for 24 to end with 10 for 55, as that encounter also ended in a draw. Rose Hall Town Farfan
and Mendes recorded an innings-and-27-run victory over Big Star, thanks mainly to 62 from Kevon Anderson and an eight-wicket match haul from left-arm spinner Emanuel Seecharran. Playing at the Area ‘H’ ground, the home team batted first and scored 126 for 6 declared, with Anderson receiving support with the bat from Keith Simpson who made 25, even as Sherwin Lowe took 2 for 54 for Big Star. In reply, Big Star were bowled out for 53 in their first innings, with Emmanuel Seecharran claiming 5 for 17, Brandon Corlette 3 for 10 and Cromwell Davidson 2 for 0. In their second innings they made 46 despite 23 from Kevon Hooper, as Kevon Anderson (5 for 5) and Seecharran 3 for 11 did the damage with the ball for the victorious home team.
Stylish United demolish woeful West Brom 3-0 By Toby Davis LONDON, England (Reuters) - Champions Manchester United rediscovered a touch of their old swagger, easing past strugglers West Bromwich Albion 3-0 yesterday to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since December. Phil Jones headed home a Robin van Persie free kick in the first half, Wayne Rooney finished a sweeping passing move with another header after the break and Danny Welbeck added a third to inflict further misery on a woeful West Brom side. The Midlands club and manager Pepe Mel, winless since taking over in early January, stay one place above the relegation zone but level on points with Cardiff City who beat bottom club Fulham 3-1 with two goals from Steven Caulker. Hovering above them are
Crystal Palace, who missed the opportunity to pull five points clear of trouble after a 1-0 defeat by Southampton, while Norwich City in 15th were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City. Leaders Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur in the big game of the day later yesterday. United, whose last outing was a demoralising Champions League defeat by Olympiakos, moved up to sixth in the table on 48 points, bringing some rare cheer to manager David Moyes. “It was more like it,” the United boss told the BBC. “We were more creative and played well. It’s never the easiest of places to come and we had lost to them earlier in the season so it was good to get a good result. “We earned the right to be in front. When we did, we sort of controlled chunks of the game. They were a threat and we were always going to have to defend.”
YOUTHFUL COMPLEXION Moyes shuffled his pack after their poor showing in Europe, adding a youthful complexion to their defence where Jones was paired with Chris Smalling. For most of the first half the pair looked unconvincing at the heart of the back four as United struggled to find any rhythm or tempo but at the other end of the pitch Jones made a decisive contribution. After Rafael had forced United’s former keeper Ben Foster to tip his header onto the bar, Jones opened the scoring by powerfully heading home a van Persie set piece after 34 minutes. West Brom, who have now won one of their last 19 matches in all competitions, predictably laboured in attack, but looked mildly threatening from set pieces with Claudio Yacob heading over from close range.
five wickets, all claimed by Lasith Malinga. Fawad featured in two century-plus stands, with Misbah and Umar, as Pakistan recovered from 18-3 in five overs to eventually post a somewhat competitive total. Misbah was left to rue his decision to bat first at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium as Malinga’s early three-wicket burst left the defending champions reeling. Having seen two of his first three deliveries race to the boundary, Malinga had Sharjeel Khan caught at midon with his sixth. The pacer with blond-tinted hair and a sling-shot action dismissed Ahmed Shehzad with the final delivery of his second over and removed Mohammad Hafeez in his next over to compound Pakistan’s misery. It could have been even worse but Hafeez was dropped on three while Misbah appeared to have nicked an Angelo Mathews delivery when on 19 but umpire Bruce Oxenford felt otherwise. Misbah went on to raise 122 runs with Fawad to arrest the slide, forcing Mathews to bring
back Malinga who dismissed the Pakistan captain for 65 with his fourth delivery of that over. Fawad, dropped by Chaturanga de Silva at cover on 92, reached his maiden 100 with an effort-
less six off Thisara Perera and got ample support from Akmal who fell in the final over to Malinga who was adjudged man-ofthe-match for his bowling figures of 5-56.
Mahela Jayawardene and Ashan Priyanjan depart in quick succession, but Lahiru Thirimanne reaches his third ODI hundred to take Sri Lanka closer to the title.

This G$55M+ project adds to the ambience of the National Racquet Centre which accommodates the tennis courts and the squash courts. The commissioning of this important and necessary facility marks a new beginning for sports in Guyana. The National Sports Resource Centre will create the opportunity for athletes to be exposed to information, via print and electronic media, which will take them and the various sports disciplines to the highest level. The National Sports Resource Centre is the forerunner for a National Sports Institute which is an essential necessity if Guyana is to continue with positive development in the world of sports. This aesthetic and educational facility is expected to give guidance, training and certification to the stakeholders in sports – athletes, coaches, umpires, referees, scorers, journalists, managers, chaperones, technical persons and even the general public. The facility houses a library of books covering various sports disciplines which will guide all involved for the proper preparation and effective management, a section for online researchers and a conference room which will be used for theoretical training and presentations.

To complement the impressive commissioning ceremony, which was attended by a large number of Guyanese, was the lecture entitled ‘The History and Development of Cricket in Guyana and the West Indies (1860s–1960s)’ which was conducted in the conference room. This historic educational talk was done by the eminent Professor Clem Seecharan, Professor of Caribbean History, Head of Caribbean Studies, London Metropolitan University. Professor Clem Seecharran BA, MA, PhD, a Guyanese, is a writer and historian of Indo Caribbean experience as well as a historian of West Indies cricket. Among his alma maters are Sheet Anchor Anglican School, Berbice Educational Institute, Queen’s College (Guyana), MacMaster University (Canada), the University of Warwick (London). In 2002 Clem was awarded a Professorship in History at the London Metropolitan University where he is now Emeritus Professor of History. He was also in 2002 awarded a certificate of Distinction by the Guyana High Commission (UK) for his “achievement in his profession in the United Kingdom”. -As a distinguished historian, he is the author of a number of publications. Professor Seecharan’s most successful, respected and admired lecture attracted the attendance and attention of many recognised Guyanese of the calibre of Dr Frank Anthony, Dr James Rose, Dr Ian McDonald, Dr Rupert Roopnarine, Dr Tota Mangar, Mrs Doreen De Caries, Mr. Hector Edwards, Mr Conrad Plummer, Prof. Evans, Mr. Alfred King, foreign diplomats among others. The impeccable lecture generated much interesting and inspiring discussions from the cadre of highly trained minds who were present. It is anticipated that the lecture will set the stage for monthly occurrences which will attract large attendance of persons of various levels. The President, Secretary and other Executive Members of the Guyana Cricket Board were all present and participated in the inau-
gural lecture at Guyana’s National Sports Resource Centre. It is imperative that officials who represent National teams and Guyana be better trained and qualified to represent our teams and country. Gone are the days when Guyana will be represented by mediocre officials. This Resource Centre must be able to certify and ultimately give certificates and diplomas to our sport officials. Our Guyanese athletes certainly have potential and talent. However, raw talent and potentials must be harnessed and developed with knowledge that will make them worthy of selection to represent Guyana. Guyana must produce World Class Umpires, Referees and Scorers. This eventual institution will give rise to qualitative and quantitative development in sports. The Government of Guyana over the last decade invested heavily in the construction of World Class Sport facilities. The Guyana National Stadium at Providence, the Aquatic Centre, the Racquet Centre, the Synthetic Track at Leonora along with the tremendous development of Cliff Anderson Sports Hall and the National Gymnasium are all proud achievements. The National Sports Resource Centre will enhance preparation for the future of sports in Guyana and ensure better performances of our athletes and officials. Expectations are high that there will be Seminars to highlight WADA’s prohibited list – RADO, on common sports injuries and their prevention, on Sports Nutrition and on Sports Laws. In order to develop sports clubs and associations there will be special seminars on basic sports management, community sports, along with lectures on how to manage sport events and sports tourism. The time is now when Guyana must develop a pro-active approach to the advancement of sport. The development of our Human Resource is imperative. The Government must play the lead role in the new challenge of sport in this country.
WHEN CHAIRMAN of Selectors Rayon Griffith handed the six-foot five Raun Johnson his debut cap last Friday afternoon, he confirmed the former national Under-19 fast bowler as the third player from within the West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA) and Young Achievers Youth and Sports Club within the last decade to play for Guyana at the senior level. Ye s t e r d a y, b o t h t h e WBCA and AYSC extended congratulations to Johnson for his selection, saying in a press release, “Over the years Johnson has proved his ability with the ball and it is no surprise that the national selectors have recognised his abilities and put him to the test.” Johnson has played for the AYSC for a number of years and over that period of time has given lots of commitment to the game at all levels and stages and is considered to be another role model for the youths in West
Berbice, Berbice and Guyana at large. The Association is calling on all the other youths in West Berbice to follow the example of this young man who last year was named Cricketer-of-the-Year for AYSC and aim for the top with strong commitment to the game.
David Rose Sec. score largest margin WBCA and Young Achievers congratulate Johnson of victory to start second round … wins for QC, Kingston and N/G’town THE WEST Ruimveldt-based David Rose Secondary School started the second round of the Petra Organisation-organised, Milo-sponsored Under-20 Schools football tournament with a 5-1 victory over Richard Ishmael Secondary, at the Ministry of Education ground yesterday. Also in winners’ row at the venue on the same day were Queen’s College, Kingston Community High and North Georgetown, who defeated Tutorial, Carmel and Tucville respectively. For David Rose, Stephon Green (24th), Sherwin Charles (33rd), Akeem Giddings (43rd), Adrian Wong (44th) and Sherwin Joe (58th) were on target but Ricardo King pulled one back for Richard Ishmael, who had reportedly played the game under protest, in the 60th minute. In the second game of the day, Queen’s College, on the back of Jaydev Mona (9th) and Ashmar Angel 42nd minute goals, edged Tutorial Secondary 2-1. Levi Williams (7th), Alistair Holder (31st) and Shawn Gravesande (45th) were the men on target for Kingston Community High, who defeated Carmel Secondary 3-1, with Marlon Nedd finding the back of the net for Carmel in the 14th minute. Reuben Miller’s 29th minute goal was all North Georgetown needed for their 1-0 win over Tucville in the final match of the day. The tournament continues with more second round matches at the same venue today.
Both the WBCA and AYSC wish Johnson all the best in the future and hope that he will continue to show the commitment and passion for the game in the most positive way as he normally does and that he will continue his good performance. Congratulations once more and best wishes!

SUNDAY CHRONICLE March 9, 2014
Bravo, Hosein put T&T ahead of Windwards By BRIJ PARASNATH In Trinidad & Tobago A SUSTAINED spell of probing and penetrative bowling from left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein (6 for 33) provided Trinidad and Tobago with first innings points while a grinding, disciplined unbeaten 57 from Darren Bravo put the homesters in an advantageous position against Windward Islands in their Regional 4-Day second round fixture at the famous Queen’s Park Oval yesterday. Hosein, playing in his third first-class match for T&T; mesmerised the Windwards batsmen and finished with impressive analysis of 13.5-2-33-6 as the visitors folded for a meagre 122 which gave the Reyad Emrit-led Trinidadsians an exact 100-run lead having made 222 in their first innings on Friday. Windwards prolific opener and former Test player Devon Smith was circumspect and played the sheet-anchor role while his hapless teammates succumbed to the wiles of the Hosein and Jason Mohammed (7-2-17-2) who together created all sorts of problems for confident strokeplay. Smith remained undefeated on 48 when Windwards first innings closed at 122, after resuming at 12 without loss on their overnight total. He batted for 181 minutes and hit eight fours off 113 deliveries. He took his overall regional first class aggregate to 5 999 runs. Darren Bravo, playing in his 58th first class match, eschewed his natural attractive strokeplay for a laboured, w o r k m a n l i k e C h a n d e rpaul-type display with the ball not coming through for shot-making. The variable bounce and
puffs of dust flying whenever the ball hit the turf forced him to play a restrained innings which has so far lasted 185 minutes. The attractive left-hander faced 158 deliveries and stroked nine boundaries during his 19th firstclass 50, an important unbeaten
DARREN BRAVO 57, as T&T closed the day at 127 for 7. His not-out partner is Yannic Cariah on 7. Bravo was associated in a decisive 47-run seventh-wicket partnership with Emrit (17) who smacked one six and one four off 57 balls during their 74-minute battle on a pitch that saw T&T lose five wickets via lbw. Earlier in the day, Devon Smith (8 not out) and Tyrone Theophille (4 not out) shared an enterprising 38-run first-wicket partnership in 9.4 overs before skipper Emrit effected the breakthrough by having
Theophille caught by Adrian Barath for 17. Dalton Polius was run-out for 5 (45 for 2) and Windwards soon found themselves in all sorts of trouble with the introduction of Hosein, who claimed two wickets in his opening over of what turned out to be a magical performance from the Queen’s Park Cricket Club player who had made his first class debut against Jamaica in the semi-finals at Sabina Park last year. The former West Indies Under-19 all-rounder outfoxed his HPC teammates Keddy Leporis, caught and bowled for six and two balls later had Romel Currency, caught by Darren Bravo for no score. Both wickets fell at 60. Mohammed scalped skipper Liam Sebastien, also caught by Bravo for nine and Windwards retreated to the lunch interval in dire straits at 72 for 5 after 28 overs. The 20-year-old Hosein operated in tandem with Mohammed and they destroyed the lower order for an addition of 50 runs for the remaining
five wickets. Hosein had Lyndon James smartly stumped by wicketkeeper Steven Katwaroo for 22, Alston Bobb caught by Barath for six; Delorn Johnson caught by Bravo for two and Nelon Pascal lbw for four. He celebrated his maiden first class five-wicket haul and T&T briefly enjoyed their 100-run lead. T&T were soon under severe pressure with dismissal of both openers Evin Lewis lbw to Delorn Johnson for zero and Barath caught by wicketkeeper Lyndon James off Nelon Pascal for six. It was eight for 2 and then it became 28 for 3 when Johnson removed first-innings top-scorer Mohammed lbw for six. Katwaroo was bowled by Sebastien for two while Kenroy Peters gained two quick lbw decisions against Hosein (0) and Imran Khan (25). Trinidad and Tobago would resume with a decent lead of 227 and three wickets in hand. They will fancy their chances of securing an outright victory.

Trophy Stall/EBFA U15 League
Grove Hi Tech and Diamond United complete contrasting wins WHEN play in the Trophy Stall-sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-15 League continued yesterday at the Grove Playfield, Grove Hi Tech maintained their unbeaten record with a comfortable 3-0 win over Soesdyke while Diamond United recorded their first win by a 2-1 margin over a stout Herstelling FC. Grove, playing in the feature game against Soesdyke Falcons, who won their first game one week before by a whopping 10-1 margin, failed this time around to trouble the network despite creating quite a number of opportunities. Grove did not make that mistake as they capitalised on most of the chances they created. They opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Kevin Padmore put his shot away. Soesdyke just couldn’t get it right in the final third. The advantage was doubled by Grove 28 minutes on, Randy Smartt it was who nailed his shot past the Soesdyke goalie. The game was put beyond the reach of the visitors from Timehri three minutes to full time compliments of a Threvon Pluck goal. The opening game was an exciting affair between Diamond and Herstelling, two teams that are still in the learning curve as regards competitive football. Supporters from both sides were kept cheering throughout the exciting encounter. Diamond and Herstelling had both lost their opening encounters and were eager to taste what victory feels like. Diamond it was that took the early lead through a Daniel Melville goal and they held that advantage for the entire first half. Herstelling enjoyed quite a bit of the possession on resumption and it was no surprise when they equalised with a well-taken shot off the boot of James Walcott. The exchanges continued on an even keel between the two sides and when it seemed like the game was heading for a draw, skilful work from Teon Forde brought the winning goal for Diamond. Forde collected a loose ball just in the Herstelling half with most of the opposing players in the Diamond half in offensive mode. The little midfield player weaved his way past two Herstelling players before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper in style. Soon after the final whistle was sounded, handing Diamond their first points of the league while Herstelling remain without a point but can tap themselves on the back for a fine and very improved performance.

Eastman sprints away with Thrill inaugural feature 35-lap race HAMZA Eastman yesterday sprinted away with the top prize of the inaugural Thrill Beverage feature 35-lap cycle race, organised by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed in the National Park, returning a time of one hour 18 minutes three seconds. The 11-race programme, organised by Mohamed and spon-
sored by Caribbean International Distributers Incorporated (CIDI), saw Eastman `crease’ the Over40 starters for the first 14 laps of the feature 35-lap event, eventually jumping the pack, but was subsequently joined by veteran rider Paul Cho-Wee-Nam and the two cyclists worked in tandem and opened a considerable lead over the others and were never

caught again. During the final lap of the feature event, Eastman jumped Cho-Wee-Nam approaching the final 200-metre mark and the latter failed to respond, resulting in Eastman winning the feature event as well as two of the eight prime prizes that were up for grabs. Cho-Wee-Nam had to settle for a distant second while Orville Hinds, who broke away from the main chasing pack with two laps remaining, finished third. Robin Persaud, who was in contention for the third position from the completion of the 15th lap, had to settle for fourth place while Alonzo Ambrose and Paul DeNobrega placed fifth and sixth respectively. Like Eastman, Cho-WeeNam and DeNobrega won two prime prizes each, while one each went to Hinds and Marlon `Fishy’ Williams. There were several attacks during the first 15 laps but when Eastman made the break, no one answered until two laps later when Cho-WeeNam, a veteran rider, decided to take up the challenge and connected. Together the duo
worked in tandem and opened a sizeable lead which kept extending with every lap and coming to the final five laps, it reached over 600 metres from the chasing pack which was headed by Persaud. However, with two laps remaining, Hinds overtook Persaud and tried in vain to connect to the two leaders. In the end, Eastman jumped Cho-Wee-Nam who never responded and won comfortably. In other results, Sherwin Sampson won the BMX boys six-to-nine years old two-lap race as well as the BMX boys nine-to-12 years old three-lap races. Alexander Leung and Esan Jaisingh placed second and third respectively in the two-lap race, while Tarran Garbarran finished second in the three-lap event. Rawle Small won the BMX boys 12-14 years old three-lap race ahead of Britton John and Reshidi Ceres respectively. The BMX boys Open threelap race was won by Adrian Sharma. Second was Ammo Gomes and third was Jaleel Jackson. Jamal John won the BMX
boys and girls 12-14 years three-lap race ahead of Raphael Leung and Toshawannah Doris respectively, while Junior Niles won the veterans Under-50 five-lap race ahead of Ralph Williams and Kennard Lovell respectively. The veterans Over-50 years five-lap race was won by Linden Blackman. Second was Virgil Jones, while Maurice Faugendes won the veterans Over-60 years fivelap event ahead of Anthony Farriah. The 10-lap race for juveniles was won by Michael Anthony. Second was Stephano Husbands and third was Cleveland King. Clyde Jacobs won the five-lap event for mountain bikers. Second was Nigel Jacobs and third was Emmanuel Cuyari. Prior to making the presentation of prizes to the respective winners, CIDI’s Sales and Marketing Manager Alicia Katideen said her company is happy to be a part of the sponsors for cycle races in Guyana and committed CIDI’s continued support for the sport.
