Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme stymied by Banks - according to GRA boss - agency received 1,487 applications to date

THE Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is dissatisfied by the level of co-operation shown by the various banking institutions as it relates to processing information necessary for facilitating the Mortgage Interest Relief (MIR) scheme.

This scheme which was provided for in the 2013 National Budget is geared at providing a 30% relief on the gross interest paid on first time mortgages amounting to $30M or less and requires the assistance of the various lending institutions.

In October 2013, the GRA held workshops with representatives from the various lending institutions and began its public education campaign which has been very aggressive in providing the information necessary for mortgagers to qualify for this relief.

But GRA’s Commissioner-General, Mr Khurshid Sattaur said the biggest hurdle, to date, has been the receipt of applications without the accompanying bank information. This, he said, has forced the Revenue Authority to accept applications which cannot be processed since “the relevant Letter by Lender Form (Form 2) and Schedule of Interest per Year are missing”.

“Without this key piece of information applications will not be finalised for approval,” Mr Sattaur declared.

He noted that, of the applications received thus far, 470 were submitted by customers of Republic Bank, 687 from New Building Society, 96 from the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry, 87 from the Bank of Nova Scotia, six from Demerara Bank, four from Hand in Hand Trust, 50 from Citizens Bank and two from Bank of Guyana.

Of this amount, in excess of 207 applications were received with outstanding bank information.

To date the GRA has received 1,487 applications of which 1,437 were received in 2013 and the additional 50 were submitted in the first two weeks of 2014.

Sattaur said this statistic is quite troubling and the GRA will be having talks with the relevant stakeholders in an effort to fully understand the reason for the lack of information being provided to those mortgagers who have expressed their desire to benefit from this relief.

In an effort to facilitate the processing of the Mortgage Interest Relief, the agency has established a Unit catering specifically to this scheme. This Unit is fully staffed and equipped to address the needs of persons accessing this service and will continue to process applications as submitted. Persons desirous of receiving additional information and those seeking clarification or requesting assistance in relation to the MIR, can contact the Mortgage Interest Relief Unit on telephone # 227-6060 or 227-8222 ext 1040 or the Tax Advisory Services Section on

extensions 1200 – 1204.

Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, on October 8th 2013, signed and sent for publication in the Official Gazette the Income Tax (Mortgage Interest Relief) Regulations 2013, thereby establishing the regulatory foundation for mortgage interest relief (MIR) to be

acquisition or even small business establishment and expansion, have been immeasurable. In addition to our programmes to develop housing areas and distribute house lots, other policies have been adopted to promote home ownership. These include the special low income housing windows established at the commercial banks under which interest income earned by the banks is exempt from corporate taxes, allowing the banks to offer subsidised interest rates to borrowers of loans for low income housing development.”

Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh

Mr Khurshid Sattaur, Commissioner-General of GRA

granted pursuant to the introduction of this measure announced in Budget 2013.

At the time of presenting the 2013 National Budget, Minister Singh announced the introduction of MIR with effect from year of income 2013. Under the newly introduced relief, the Finance Minister stated that “first time home owners who are holders of mortgage loans of up to $30 million granted to them by commercial banks or the building society will be permitted to deduct the interest they pay on such mortgages from their taxable income for the purpose of personal income tax. In other words, that portion of taxable income used by a first time home owner to pay interest on a housing loan of up to $30 million from a commercial bank or building society will be exempt from personal income tax”.

In announcing the introduction of MIR at the time of Budget 2013, Minister Singh situated the new measure within the context of the outstanding success of the Government’s housing programme.

He stated at the time that “this Government’s housing programme has been a resounding success and has resulted in tens of thousands of Guyanese individuals and families graduating from being tenants of rented property to being homeowners in their own right. Armed with real property as an asset which can in turn be collateralised, the positive consequences for owner participation in the formal financial system, and capacity to borrow to finance asset

Coupled with the rapid growth in low income home ownership has been equally rapid growth in demand for middle income housing with the growing numbers of young professionals and other middle income earners in our society today.

The introduction of MIR is expected to cost Government approximately $580 million annually, and will benefit tens of thousands of first time home owners, low and middle income alike.

At the time of signing the necessary regulations in October last year, Minister Singh called on the Guyana Revenue Authority and the participating financial institutions to proceed to implement the regulations as soon as possible to ensure that the intended relief is delivered to the beneficiary population.

The Finance Minister stated that “this relief is expected to make home ownership even more affordable and attractive, will increase disposable incomes in thousands of households, and will constitute a significant injection of cash into the economy for both saving and consumption, thereby generating and multiplying further business activity”.

The Finance Minister’s announcement of MIR at the time of Budget 2013 was widely applauded as a measure that would significantly improve the wellbeing of current and pending homeowners and that would contribute to further growth in the economy as a result of the impetus it will give to home ownership and construction activity.

Former Private Sector head calls for parliamentarians to work in unity

- ‘We are tired and fed-up with the political tug-o-war taking place’, says Ramesh Dookhoo

By Priya Ali FORMER Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Mr. Ramesh Dookhoo has issued a call for what he described as “parliamentary achievement.”

In an interview with the Guyana Chronicle on Wednesday, regarding expectations for

this year’s National Budget in light of the cuts over the last two years by the combined Parliamentary Opposition, he said: “We need to move forward.

“We just want the budget to go through. We want all the transformational projects to go through and we want there to be parliamentary achievement. We

want the Parliament to work for the people of Guyana.”

Dookhoo remarked that parliamentarians were put there to work for the people of Guyana and “they are not doing that at the moment.”

He alluded to the non-passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Fi-

nancing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, declaring: “We want, basically, the politicians to work together; we want to see less arrogance and more work in Parliament.”

POLITICAL TUG-O-WAR Dookhoo continued: “I think the Private Sector, gen-

President Ramotar extends condolence on passing of Dr Robert Pastor

- a key member of Carter Centre team that monitored the historic 1992 elections in Guyana Dr. Robert A. Pastor, a Latin America specialist who was a top U.S. negotiator of the 1977 Panama Canal treaties, and who was also a key member

of the Carter Centre team that monitored the historic 1992 elections in Guyana, died on Wednesday at his home in Washington. He was 66.

Dr. Robert Pastor, shown here at right with President Jimmy Carter, died on Wednesday January 8, 2014. He was 66 years old.

President Donald Ramotar The cause of death was colon cancer, according to his son, Kip Pastor.

President Donald Ramotar, speaking with the Chronicle last night, extended condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr Pastor. The Guyanese Head of State recalled the significant role that Dr Pastor played in the lead-up to the holding of the historic 1992 elections in Guyana, where the esteemed doctor was an integral part of the Carter Centre team, and who played a crucial role in

facilitating Guyana’s transition to democracy.

President Ramotar said that “the democratic forces in Guyana will always remember the great contribution that Dr Pastor made in assisting the Guyanese people to restore free and fair elections in Guyana and in helping in the process of this country’s return to democracy.”

President Ramotar also alluded to the fact that Dr Pastor, through scholarship and diplomacy, sought to strengthen U.S. relations with countries to the south, including Guyana. The Guyanese leader said he will be making a more detailed statement today on Dr Pastor’s passing.

Mr. Ramesh Dookhoo erally, is suffering from a depression right now. We are tired and fed up with the political tug-o-war that is taking place in Guyana and it’s time that politicians on all sides take on a new orientation.”

He said budget cuts is a big problem for the private sector, adding: “Generally, I think the investment community has been extremely cautious about new investments in Guyana.”

NEGATIVE CLIMATE “The constant harassment of persons wanting to invest in Guyana is creating a negative climate for us,” declared Dookhoo, who is the newly elected President of the Caribbean As-

sociation of Industry and Commerce (CAIC).

He recalled that the last time the local private sector met with President Donald Ramotar, the Head of State indicated that he is instituting measures to have Shadow Ministers of the Opposition be apart of the budget process at the time when the Government Ministers are preparing their budgets.

“In other words, he is not waiting for the time when it goes to the Finance Minister.

So, if Joseph Harmon is the Shadow Minister of Public Works, he will be called in the room with the minister to submit his proposals,” Dookhoo explained.

He said: “We are very hopeful that that system would work and the politicians would behave themselves and stop creating strife in the country and try to work with each other.”

Dookhoo emphasised the importance of projects such as the expansion of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport and Marriott Hotel, which are all linked to a deliberate transformational strategy for Guyana.

“How does the President of Guyana unify us and take us forward and ensure that he has the support of the opposition? I think the onus is upon him,” the now CAIC President said.

India diplomat indicted, asked to leave U.S. (Reuters) - THE Indian diplomat whose arrest and strip-searching in New York caused a major rift between India and the United States was indicted for visa fraud yesterday, and the U.S. government immediately asked her to leave the country.

A U.S. government official said Washington accepted a request by India to accredit the diplomat, Devyani Khobragade, at the United Nations and then asked New Delhi to waive the diplomatic immunity that status conferred. India denied the request, leading Washington to ask for her departure, the official said.

In a letter accompanying her indictment yesterday, the prosecutor in the case, U.S. Attorney

Preet Bharara in Manhattan, initially said Khobragade had left the country.

Shortly afterwards, a spokesman for Bharara said in a statement that she had not left.

A lawyer for Khobragade confirmed this.

“Despite Preet Bharara’s reports to the contrary, Devyani Khobragade has not left the country,” Daniel Arshack, her lawyer, said in a statement. “She is at home with her children.”

There was no immediate comment from the Indian embassy in Washington or its mission to the United Nations.

Khobragade, who was deputy consul-general in New York, was arrested on December 12 and charged with one count of visa fraud and another of mak-

ing false statements about how much she paid her housekeeper.

Her arrest set off protests in India amid disclosures that she was strip searched on the day of her arrest. It also soured the broader U.S.-India bilateral relationship, leading to the postponement of two visits to India by senior U.S. officials and another by a U.S. business delegation.

Furious at Kobragade’s treatment, India has curtailed privileges offered to U.S. diplomats and ordered the U.S. Embassy to close a club for expatriate Americans in New Delhi.

The arresting authority, the U.S. Marshals Service, characterized the strip search as a routine procedure imposed on any new arrestee.

Monstrous radioactive squid on California beach? Some actually believe these stories

SOME people logged onto their computers yesterday morning and discovered an amazing story circulating on social media. Showcased was an image of a monstrous giant squid that had washed ashore on a Southern California beach.

The story, published by the

‘Lightly Braised Turnip’ website, blamed leaking radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan for growing oversized sea creatures. Remarkably, some people believed the story, which quoted experts who don’t really exist. As of early yesterday afternoon the story, from a website that produces more than

- Fabricated report just one of many that need to be debunked as concern about Fukushima radiation is turning into borderline hysteria its share of parody, had been Facebook “liked” more than 97,000 times.

The hoax fits a common theme in that it’s one of many

sensational—or in this case fabricated—reports fueling concerns that the Pacific Ocean is dying in the aftermath of the 2011 nuclear disaster.

Has this concern reached the point of hysteria?

Photoshopped image showing what is said to be 160-foot “radioactive squid” doing the rounds on the internet yesterday.

Perhaps not yet, but more people seem to be falling for gloom-and-doom reports that are either sensational, baseless, fabricated …or all of the above.

This is especially evident in California, despite recent

assurances by scientists that very low levels of radiation first detected two years ago have declined ever since, and are far below levels that are considered unsafe. (Yahoo news)

And now... a ganja growers association!

- Launch to take place Jan 18 at historic UWI cannabis stakeholders’ forum (JAMAICA OBSERVER): KEY advocates of the decriminalisation of ganja are getting ready to launch a cannabis growers’ association here as momentum builds towards establishment of a formal ganja industry in Jamaica.

Encouraged by legalisation of ganja in Colorado and Washington in the United States, and Uruguay in South America, the Jamaicans foresee the development of a local, regional and

international cannabis industry, led by a Cannabis Future Growers and Producers Association, that will eventually generate billions of dollars for the Jamaican economy.

The growers’ and producers’ association will be launched on January 18, 2014 as one outcome of a major stakeholders forum titled ‘Going Forward -- Legalise it’, that organisers hope will bring together the disparate entities

planning a future in ganja at the University of the West Indies in Mona, St Andrew.

“We have invited representatives of the various organisations to come together at the forum to take their ideas forward,” Paul Burke, a spokesman for the forum organisers confirmed yesterday. “The launch of the Cannabis Future Growers and Producers Association is expected to be one of the outcomes of the forum.”

The stakeholders forum is being organised by the tripartite Ganja Law Reform Coalition, the Cannabis Commercial and Medicinal Research Task Force, and the National Alliance for the Legalisation of Ganja. Among the invitees are the Jamaica Agricultural Society; the Staterun Scientific Research Council (SRC); the University of the West Indies; the University of Technology, Jamaica; micro, small and medium-sized

enterprises; parliamentarians; other representatives of the political parties and their youth offshoots; artistes; and other advocates of legalisation.

One important position already taken by advocates is that Jamaica should maintain ownership of no less than 55 per cent of all licensed cannabis industry establishments and investments.

They are also advocating stricter enforcement and penalties for the illegal exportation of ganja.

Formation of a ganja planters grouping anticipates the decriminalisation of ganja, which is now being widely taken as a done deal, with both sides of the parliamentary fence sharing rare agreement on a major issue.

It would be a historic landmark on a long and tortuous road that led to adoption of a much-debated report by the Government-sanctioned National Commission on Ganja in August 2001.

Colombia blocks Drummond Family in pit bull attack accuse cops of unprofessional conduct coal loading after rule breach (BBC): COLOMBIA has ordered US-based coal producer Drummond to stop loading coal in Colombian ports until the company complies with new environmental rules.

Under the regulations, coal exporters will no longer be allowed to use barges and cranes to load ships. The rules are aimed at preventing spillage and pollution of the seas. Three weeks ago, Drummond was fined US$3.5m (£2.1m) for spilling hundreds of tonnes of coal when it tried to rescue a sinking barge in January 2013.

At least two family members from Parry Town, St Ann where the incident took place claimed that on the night the child was attacked a report was made to the police but the cops refused to go to the location.

“Police they told me it was a civil matter and not their responsibility,” Phursha Gibbs, a family member told ‘OBSERVER ONLINE’.

“Imagine myself and another family member went to the station and reported the incident, we even made a request for police to

send a vehicle to the home as tension was high and those request were ignored by senior officers,” Gibbs claimed.

Public Works Ministry responds to KN article EDITORIAL

IT is quite unfortunate that an overzealous individual without proper authority approached the media in an unsavory way to try and tarnish the reputation of a contracting company.

The Kaieteur News article titled ‘ECD four-lane expansion…

Contractor executing poor works, awarded another contract’ on January 8, 2014 gave readers the impression that during a 28-day period, the concrete used by Colin Talbot Contracting Service was below standard.

However, only five percent of the concrete strength was slightly below the ministry’s criteria for a short section of the drainage works that were carried out by the contracting company. In fact, out of the 439 metres concrete tested, only 25 metres failed the assessment.

It is apt to note that with any laboratory testing - whether con-

crete or soil - conducted by the ministry’s laboratory, it allows for the contractor to correct any defect noted by the ministry.

The company has been one of the most dependable and reliable contractors the ministry has worked with and it is unfortunate that the preliminary findings have been made public before quality control or corrections can be done.

As such, the ministry cannot ascribe any veracity to the information provided by the “reliable source” of the said article.

WORKS SERVICES GROUP, SEA AND RIVER DEFENCES DEPARTMENT Ministry of Public Works

An advisory Rohee slams APNU’s assertion alone has that there is a security crisis in no teeth Guyana

CONCERNED members of the public are waiting with diminishing pockets for more affirmative action by the Ministry of Tourism to address the arbitrary increases of minibus fares that commuters on Route 32, and more recently, Route 44 have to contend with.

The increases, up by as much as $60, are taking a toll not only on the thousands travelling far distances for work every day, but on schoolchildren, who face the brunt of the problem, because public transport operators are unwilling to ferry the children to and from school.

After a month of what the Acting Tourism Minister, Irfaan Ali, called “unjustified” increases, the consensus from the general public is that the advisory issued by his ministry ‘has no teeth’.

Ali has said that police officers will be asked to act to enforce the current and approved fare structure and prevent unfair demands by the transport operators.

However, the reality is that police officers accept bribes from minibus operators who want to avoid legal or any other disciplinary action.

Moreover, there has been no reported move by the Tourism Ministry to meet with the United Minibus Association and the Combined Road Transportation Association for Route 32, with which the ministry says it has a standing agreement – an agreement that says in absence of increases in gas prices there cannot be an increase in fares.

An average worker travelling along Route 44 to get to Georgetown for work in many cases has to take at least two different minibuses to get to work.

On Route 32, to get to Georgetown, a commuter either takes the Demerara Harbour Bridge, where the cost has almost doubled or takes a bus to the Vreed-en-Hoop Stelling to get a boat and then use another bus once in the capital.

Considering that there has been minimal change to salaries, where is the additional income to cover this expense coming from?

The reality for your average Guyanese man, woman and child is a daily struggle, is hard work and with many Guyanese barely in the middle income bracket, unnecessary challenges that can be avoided, should be avoided.

Transport Minister, Robeson Benn, in addition to Minister Ali, need to step up and act in a more tangible manner to address this situation.

Minister Benn, early in 2013, promised an investigation into the unregulated hike in minibus fares across the various routes at nights, whereby commuters are asked to pay double. The outcome of that investigation, if it was done, is still to be known.

In 2008, we experienced similar arbitrary actions country wide and, unfortunately, the price hikes were accompanied by threats of strike actions by operators.

Before the current situation escalates to an untenable level, the Guyanese people need firmer action, not toothless advisories and statements.

- ‘It only exists in the heads of APNU Leaders and is nothing but a figment of their imagination’, he says

HOME Affairs Minister, Mr Clement Rohee has rejected the assertion by the main Opposition political party, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), that there is security crisis in Guyana.

In a statement last night, Minister Rohee said: “If there is a ‘security crisis’ in Guyana, it exists only in the heads of APNU Leaders and is nothing but a figment of their imagination.

Indeed, it appears to be a mere ploy for propaganda purposes to make the Government look bad.”

The Home Affairs Minister was responding to an APNU statement which was released on January 3 stating that the “Security crisis in Guyana has disproportionately hurt the poor.”

But Rohee last night made it clear that “there is no security crisis in Guyana” while noting that good examples where real security crisis currently exists are in countries like Turkey, Iraq, South Sudan and Syria.

Rohee pointed out that GuyMINISTER ana’s Crime and Security situCLEMENT ROHEE

ation is a far cry from the conditions obtaining in those countries.

Further, Minister Rohee rejects the characterisation of the internal security situation as false on the ground that current data does not support it.

The evidence shows that rather than poor families in homes, the primary victims of robberies committed in 2013 were young individuals, primarily males, walking in the streets, especially late in the nights and during the early hours of the mornings. For example, of the 122 occurrences of “street crimes” (robberies and larcenies from the person) committed in ‘A’ Division for November 2013, 81 of the 140 victims were young people (ages 18 to 35) 94 are males.

Of the 122 “street crimes” 56 occurred during the period 21:15 hrs to 06:00 hrs.

Moreover, the primary valuables of which persons were robbed on the street were smart-cell phones (for example, Black-berries and Samsung galaxies), cash and jewellery. For instance, of the 122 occurrences of “street crimes”, for the entire year mentioned above, smart-cell phones were associated with 38. Noteworthy, individuals were robbed of at least one of the forgoing valuables. It is strongly suggestive, therefore, that such persons’ incomes must have been of such sum so as to at least render them capable of affording the purchase and upkeep of a smart-cell phone that range from Gy$35,000 to Gy$90,000 (Black-berries), and Gy$90,000 to Gy$135,000 (Samsung galaxies).

PPP has historically shown leadership in matters of sustainable development & environment, says Rohee - lauds Dr. Jagan’s vision for environmental sustainability

- alludes to fact Guyana’s LCDS was recognised as one of the first working models of green growth GENERAL Secretary of the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Mr Clement Rohee, has lauded the vision of the late President of Guyana and founder-leader of the party, Dr. Cheddi Jagan in his push for environmental sustainability.

In a statement yesterday, Rohee said, “More than 15 years ago when climate change was just being talked about, our founder leader, Dr. Cheddi Jagan championed the cause of environmental sustainability through a New Global Human Order calling for new partnerships among nations and peoples.

The New Global Human Order was subsequently unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in November 2010.

Rohee stressed that the PPP has historically shown leader-

ship in matters of sustainable development and the environment.

PLANET’S FUTURE “Climate Change has emerged as one of the most critical issues that will influence our planet’s future,” Rohee said, adding that there is overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is already happening and the effects of global warming, including sea level rise, and more intense floods and droughts, are being felt across the world.

He noted that small island states and low-lying coastal countries, such as Guyana, are particularly vulnerable.

He said, “In recent weeks our Region has felt the impacts of extreme weather events with devastating consequences of loss of lives and property with damages in the millions of

dollars.

“The alarming observation is that these impacts are forecast to intensify,” Rohee stated.

The PPP General Secretary made it clear that if climate change is left unaddressed, it will threaten the very existence of present and future generations.

“Our LCDS (Low Carbon Development Strategy) has received international acclaim and in 2012, at the United National Rio+20 Earth Summit, Guyana’s LCDS was recognised as one of the first working models of green growth,” Rohee said.

In 2009, former President, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo pioneered the LCDS – Guyana’s main climate change response – as a mechanism for achieving sustainable economic development while safeguarding forest resources and being responsive to climate change.

Defendant charged with theft from grandmother JASON Prince, 21, of Lot 70 Bent Street, Georgetown, was granted $40,000 bail, by Magistrate Ann McLennan, yesterday, on a larceny charge.

He pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which accused him of stealing two cellular phones and cash, making a total of $32,000, from his grandmother, Jeanette Prince.

Police Corporal Dinero Jones, prosecuting, told the Court that the defendant’s theft from the woman is a recurring issue and, on several occasions, he was warned.

The virtual complainant, who was in the courtroom, said

Remanded on indictable larceny charge GLENROY Brown, of Princes and Lombard Streets, Squatting Area in Georgetown, was remanded to prison yesterday on an indictable larceny charge.

The 43-year-old appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan accused of having, between January 3 and 4, at Lombard Street, stolen one chainsaw, one cellular phone and one torchlight, together value $241,174, property of John Marshall.

The accused was not required to plea but claimed the virtual complainant was lying on him.

He also said he is suffering from a bad kidney but the case was put off to January 20.

she did not recover the money but the cell phones were retrieved in her bedroom.

The prosecutor objected to bail on the ground that Prince may tamper with the witness,

since they live in the same home.

However, the objection was overruled and the case was postponed to January 17.

A workman, Denroy Reid, who was sitting in the front seat of the Canter lorry said after the truck hit the car it sped on towards their vehicle and all he and the driver could have done were to sit still and await the impact. However, the truck, as if

by God’s hands, hit the front of the Canter lorry and stopped, and they were not injured. Reid said that he is a Christian and prays sincerely three times a day to God. In the meantime, police are investigating.

Rohee also noted that President Donald Ramotar recently announced the government’s intention to engage

Regional Heads of Government to ensure regional action on climate change is given top priority, while at the same

time intensifying domestic action to ensure the country is better prepared for climate change.

Prisoners at GPHC to get priority attention - hospital CEO - in wake of escapee incident that led to cop’s death

By Leroy Smith CHIEF Executive Officer of the Georgetown Public Hospital Mr Michael Khan, on Wednesday, confirmed to the Guyana Chronicle that with effect from Tuesday all prisoners and persons who are escorted to the facility by police and prison officers will be given priority treatment.

The new arrangement came into effect immediately after a prisoner disarmed a police constable and bolted out of the Accident and Emergency Unit of the hospital with the cop’s firearm and who later shot at a detective corporal who attempted to arrest him.

This arrangement will apply for their visits to the various clinics Mr. Michael Khan, CEO within the hospital or to the A&E of Georgetown Public Unit. The CEO said that while he Hospital has asked his chief security officer to submit a report regarding the escapee incident, it has not yet reached his desk.

Khan said that it was always a personal concern of his as well as management whenever police and prison officers with guns show up at the facility with prisoners or other persons in their custody.

He said that the safety of staff and persons who visit the facility for medical attention is something that is always under consideration.

The incident on Monday, he said, could have been worse in the event that there was an exchange of gunfire if other police officers were at the facility or if the prisoner had decided to go on a shooting rampage.

Khan also noted, that while the subsequent shooting was unfortunate, the blame should not be cast on the A&E Unit since the place was packed with patients at the time and at the end of the day the department is an “emergency” one.

He also reminded that the department has a triage system and that was being followed on Monday when the prisoner decided to make his escape.

Meanwhile, a hospital source on Wednesday confirmed to this newspaper that the prisoner was not there for more than five hours.

The source stated that the prisoner arrived at the facility at 15:00hrs and was registered at 15:15hrs. It was at approximately 18:30hrs that he made a dash for his freedom.

The hospital CEO said that while the hospital has changed the system to accommodate the police and prison, those two agencies have an obligation and mandate to ensure the protection of the public and they can do that effectively by ensuring that when they bring prisoners to the hospital they are properly secured.

A post-mortem performed by government pathologist Dr. Nehual Singh on the body of detective corporal 14998 Silburn Elias revealed that he died as a result of haemmorhage and shock caused by gunshot injuries.

Crime Chief, Deputy Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud confirmed that a single warhead was retrieved from the cop’s body.

And he informed that the investigations into the matter are ongoing.

The post-mortem also confirmed that the policeman was shot dead by a bullet from a .38 revolver. When the prisoner, Delon Abrams disarmed police constable Joel Greene on Monday at the Georgetown Public Hospital he made off with the policeman’s .38 service revolver.

Meantime, there have been reports in sections of the media that the corporal might have been shot by friendly fire from another weapon in the hands of one of his colleagues. However, the police public relations department dispelled those claims as their release sought to confirm that the cop was shot by the prisoner with the gun he had wrestled from the cop at the hospital. And there was no mention of the claims by the prisoner that he was also able to wrestle a second firearm from another constable.

The police were to conduct a video interview with the prisoner who said that it was not his intention to shoot the cop and it was an accident.

Over 4000 animals removed from roadways by Stray Catching Unit in 2013 THE Home Affairs Ministry’s Stray Catching Unit has recorded satisfactory success in 2013 in keeping stray animals off the roadways, so much so, that there were no reports of fatal accidents involving strays during the course of the year.

For the period January 3 to December 31, 2013 the Unit caught and impounded 4,434 animals: 2,089 cows; 1,167 goats; 430 horses; three asses (donkeys), and 745 sheep.

Operations were conducted in Demerara and Berbice in accordance with the objective of the programme of enhancing traffic safety on the roads, by catching and impounding strays wandering on the public roads; thereby reducing the risk of accidents resulting in deaths, damage to vehicles, and injuries.

The Georgetown Unit accounted for the three asses, 660 cows, 673 goats, five horses and 429 sheep. The Berbice Unit on the other hand, caught 425 horses, 1,429 cows, 494 goats and 316 sheep.

A total of 174 animals were impounded at pounds in ‘A’ Division, 2,664 in ‘B’ Division, 769 in ‘C’ Division, 758 in ‘D’ Division and 69 in ‘G’ Division.

Additionally, Stray Catchers benefited from weekly training sessions in the areas of: the Laws of Guyana relating to the Pounds Act Chapter 71:04; the Cattle Stealing Prevention Act Chapter 9:03; the Local Government Act Chapter 28:02 and the Roads Act Chapter 5:01.

They also received training in police and public relations; guidelines for catching stray animals, and self defence.

With regard to reported deaths of impounded animals and in some instances, escape of animals, the Home Affairs Ministry is calling on the police to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of animals that are taken to the pounds.

Moreover, the recommendations to have a pound erected at the East La Penitence Police Station compound, and that all police pounds be compartmentalised to facilitate the accommodation of both small and large animals, are being considered by the Ministry.

Con artists, thieves target unsuspecting patients at Georgetown Public Hospital

By Michel Outridge CON artists and thieves invented novel ways of fleecing and robbing unsuspecting people, recently.

The latest trend that has surfaced at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) targets patients waiting to see a doctor or collect medication at the pharmacy there.

During the past Christmas season, a woman was sitting on one of the wooden benches provided for persons collecting medication when another woman went and sat next to her.

To pass time, patients would chat among themselves and a conversation soon started involving several women.

However, it was sometime during that chat that one woman found her way into

another’s handbag and took out the US$100 that was in it.

The money was meant to do the victim’s Christmas shopping but, when she returned from a visit to the washroom, she realised that it was missing.

By then, the thief had vanished, leaving the loser in tears and, although the security guards were alerted and an alarm raised by other patients, the perpetrator was not caught.

She is just one of many who find themselves at the GPH to prey on others.

There is also a mature couple who would go into the wards, pretend to be relatives of bed-ridden patients enfeebled by varying illnesses, and pack and take away their belongings.

A young man of East Indian descent also frequents the institution relating a sad

story and saying he needs to make an urgent telephone call to some relative, informing of his arrival at the GPH. But when he finds a sympathetic person who allows him to use a cell phone, he escapes with the instrument.

Several persons were victims of his trickery after he made off with ‘Blackberry’ phones among others, following his keen observance of the owners.

Among the tricksters, too, is a young woman who pretends to be mentally challenged and would appear amidst patients and their relatives, and whenever the opportunity presents itself, she picks up their bags and disappears.

Despite the hospital having internal security, these incidents continue to occur at the

institution.

GPHC Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Khan was unavailable for comment yesterday, as he was involved in several meetings for most of the day and calls to his cell phone went unanswered.

NEW GANG Meanwhile, a new gang has emerged in the Stabroek Market area, operating mainly on the crowded Water Street where they would snatch gold jewels from persons.

During the Christmas season, this group which comprises about four identifiable young men, grabbed jewellery and terrorised law-biding citizens.

One woman, who was traumatised after a robbery perpetrated by these youths, said she went to make a purchase at a

store and was on her way back to her vehicle which was parked nearby when she was suddenly confronted by the trio.

They surrounded her, brandishing knives and guns, as they forcefully took off her gold chain and a gold band she was wearing and gun-butted her when she offered resistance.

She recalled trying to fight back but one of the robbers declared he did not have any problem killing her and she should “rest herself”.

This incident occurred on December 30, 2013, about 14:45 hrs while Water Street, Georgetown, was crowded with hundreds of shoppers/ vendors, some of whom witnessed the incident, but did nothing to assist the frightened woman, she remembered.

Three charged with murder of Mahaicony farmer Dearoop Siewchand

Premnauth Seepersaud, 37 years, of Planters Hall, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara; Karran Ramhit, 23 years, and Doodnauth Siewchand, 47 years, both of Zeeland, Mahaicony, ECD, were yesterday charged with the murder of Dearoop Siewchand on January 05, 2014.

According to a Police report, they appeared at the Mahaica Magistrate Court before Magistrate Ms. Sueanna Lovell and were remanded to prison until February 05, 2014.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana

‘Dem Boys’ under pressure - they now blaming God for their transgressions but is Lucifer putting things in their mouth

OLD Kai had a hearty laugh. After exposing the evil scheme of the ‘once upon a time’ newspaper against unsuspecting Guyanese, they have now rushed to do the most unthinkable. They are now blaming God for all their transgressions.

Somehow this does not come as a surprise as when individuals do not have principle and are willing to do anything to make money, they will even sell their ‘souls to the devil’.

So small wonder that in their effort to escape Old Kai ‘skinning up’ their dubious operation they are desperate to do damage control but what their recent rambling reveal is even deeper than we thought. These people over at Kaieteur apparently have serious mental problems as how else can you explain their ramblings that God is ‘putting words in their mouth’.

SERIOUSLY? Did God tell them to refer to a top public servant as a prostitute recently in their efforts to attack the woman? Dem boys quoting scriptures to justify their evil behaviour but Old Kai also know the Bible very well. In the book of Luke, Jesus did not judge, scorn or attack the prostitute who came to him

Guyana Press Association mourns passing of Terry Holder THE Guyana Press Association (GPA) wishes to record its profound sadness on the passing of veteran colleague, broadcaster Terrence Ormonde Holder, fondly known as ‘Terry’ in Guyana and the Caribbean. “We were aware of his illness but the finality of his passing still leaves us saddened,” the GPA said in a statement.

As a General Manager and as a Programme Manager of the Guyana Broadcasting Service (GBS) Terry was instrumental in the development of Radio Broadcasting in Guyana, he nurtured a cadre of commentators, announcers, producers and reporters to pay particular attention to getting the right story out.

To many, Terry was a guide and a mentor and broadcasting in Guyana and the Caribbean is better because he played his part. However, he was a stickler for standards and lamented to various members of the GPA his concern about falling standards in the media.

Terry believed that people needed to know what was occurring in their societies so that they could make informed choices and decisions. He believed that the reporters must “live the story to tell the story”. He insisted that broadcasters understood that they were speaking to that one person out there who needed to know.

He encouraged broadcasters Terry Holder to get out in the field, wherever the story took them. He wanted announcers and producers to connect with their radio audiences all the time.

His tenure as Secretary General of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) resulted in a similar vision and management style. He took pride in the production of the Caribbean Song Festival, CaribVision and CaribScope. Terry had helped to establish the CBU and laboured indefatigably to make it work.

Although Terry had a larger broadcasting vision for the Caribbean, he never forgot his native land, Guyana. He returned to serve as Deputy General Manager of GT&T and continued to promote and push the media to higher standards.

He also immersed himself in sport, particularly cricket and table tennis, and was well respected for his loyalty, diligence and vigilance in those arenas.

He was ever so polite, unflappable, suave and an inspiration to so many in the media and sporting fraternities. The Guyana Press Association shall miss his counsel and Guyana has lost a good and gentle soul.

when he went to the Pharisee’s house for dinner. Rather he was compassionate and forgiving. So clearly, Dem Boys at Kaieteur news confusing God with the anti-Christ as their public attacks on the woman looks more like the work of ‘Lucifer’.

Old Kai now recalls watching the popular 90’s film the ‘Devil’s Advocate’ and thinks that the ‘Once upon a time newspaper’ should consider a name change which is more appropriate for its daily content of attacks, lies, demonizing citizens, furthering the sinister political agendas of others, etc.,.etc. In the meantime, we will continue to expose them and hear what else ‘Lucifer put in their mouths’. ** West Indies finally gave us something to smile about on their current tour Old Kai is happy, after a couple weeks of anguish; West Indies have finally given us something to smile about on their tour to New Zealand. Our boys racking up their highest ODI score in history is a remarkable achievement and it also breaks a 26-year-old record. Our players and fans alike have gone through a lot and just as we are affected when we lose, we must also cel-

ebrate when we win and on rare occasions such as these, it calls for an ‘extra’ celebration. So ‘cheers’ with my ‘non-alcoholic, sugar free wine’. ** Congratulations to Ramesh I have also noticed Ramesh Dookhoo has been elected President of the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce (CAIC). Old Kai congratulates Ramesh who is the former Chairman of the Private Sector Commission and is the current Chairman of the Trade and Investment Committee of the PSC. All Guyanese must also be applauded as his elevation to this regional position further underlines the fact that other countries would like to benefit from our expertise and experiences, after all we are currently the fastest growing economy in the Caribbean. They want to know how we have managed to rebuild our economy from the shambles it was in two decades ago to where we are today. On a concluding note, this may not last long if the Opposition has its way with our economy as they seem to be more interested in chasing investors out of our country rather than welcoming them here.

Police roadblock leads to capture of bandit after Enterprise robbery

By Michel Outridge QUICK action Wednesday night by the police, Community Policing Group (CPG) members and residents led to the capture of one of three bandits whom had robbed the Pencil and Sur Pools Bar at Lot 106 Gandhi Street, Enterprise, East Coast Demerara.

The bandits after carting off several bottles of liquor, cell phones and cash tried to evade a police roadblock at Cove and John, also on the East Coast Demerara.

Police reported that at about 20:40 hrs on Wednesday, businessman Surindra Ramjass, 30, was in his liquor restaurant with three customers when three men entered, two of whom were armed with a handgun and a chopper.

The men held up Ramjass and the three others and took away cash, cell phones and alcohol then escaped.

Later, police ranks at a road block at Cove and John, ECD, observed that a motor car which was approaching suddenly turned back. The police pursued the vehicle and subsequently caught up with it. Two men escaped from the vehicle, while the third man was arrested.

The man has been identified as one of the perpetrators of the armed robbery at the liquor restaurant. A cell phone which has been identified as belonging to one of the victims and a quantity of alcohol has also been recovered.

At the business place yesterday, the owner, Dhanmatti Ramjass, whose son was the victim and was out when the Chronicle visited, told this publication that

at the time of the incident, she was inside the house after manning the adjoining grocery shop.

The woman said that she became suspicious after she heard unusual sounds coming from the liquor restaurant her son operates and peeped through the window and saw some strange men in the place.

According to the woman, her son made a daring escape via the side gate into the living quarters of the house, telling her, “Mommy bandits in the place.”

They then secured the door and telephoned neighbours to alert the police and CPG members.

She added that the men accosted the three customers,

one of whom was on his way home from work and had briefly stopped to purchase a cell phone card and another was there talking about seeking a place to rent when the robbers pounced on them.

Ramjass, who is widowed, said that her son told her he was closing the shop when they observed a Toyota 212 dark coloured motorcar circling the business place but by the time they realised what was happening it was too late.

The men were upon them as they stood chatting just outside the pools bar and they were taken inside the place and relieved of all valuables.

She said that her son managed to break free and entered the house and alerted her. They promptly made several calls for help while the robbers were banging down the door telling them to “open up or we will shoot.”

The woman and her son, however, ignored the threat after neighbours were alerted.

Ramjass said that the police responded promptly to the call, backed up by CPG members as well as neighbours, and she is grateful for their cooperation and pleased that no one was injured in the incident but it has left them quite shaken up.

Minister Baksh addresses Understanding concerns of Essequibo residents Standards Corner…

MINISTER within the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Ali Baksh, visited Dartmouth on the Essequibo Coast and addressed several concerns during interactions with residents and farmers.

The concerns centred on the development of a playfield in the community, the high rate of teenage pregnancy, school dropouts and the establishment of a bakery in the community.

Baksh welcomed the idea of a recreational facility for the children in the community and has since referred the matter to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport for consideration.

On the matter of teenage pregnancies, he noted: “The issue of teenage pregnancy and school dropouts are indeed

an alarming situation and one which should be addressed with urgency.”

Minister Baksh also entertained requests by farmers for assistance in securing planting materials and committed to their procurement.

Additionally, the drainage and irrigation works at the community level by the ministry and the regional administration was lauded.

“I want to thank the government and the region for assisting us in ensuring that we have proper drainage especially at the community level…we are a farming community and as such, drainage is essential,” one resident said.

the usefulness of International Standards

INTERNATIONAL standardisation is well-established for many technologies in such diverse fields as information processing and communications, textiles, packaging, distribution of goods, energy production and utilisation, shipbuilding, banking and financial services. International standards, which can be applied globally, will continue to grow in importance for all sectors of industrial activity for the foreseeable future.

International standards can facilitate world trade by effectively removing technical barriers to trade, leading to new market opportunities and economic growth. Simply put,

mies of design, greater product and service quality, increased interoperability of products, and improved production and delivery systems. At the same time, international standards also encourage an improved quality of life by contributing to safety, human health and the protection of the environment.

The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) explicitly recognises that international standards play a critical role in improving industrial efficiency and facilitating world trade. The number of standardisation bodies that have accepted the Code of Good Practice for the Preparation,

a component or system manufactured to an international standard in ‘country A’ can be sold and used in ‘countries B through to Z’ if these countries have adopted the same international standard.

International standards provide industry and users with the framework for achieving econo-

Adoption and Application of Standards presented in Annex 3 to the WTO’s TBT Agreement also underlines the global importance of standards that help, not hinder, trade.

There are a diversity of bodies involved in the preparation of standards used globally.

These include governmental or treaty organisations, non-governmental organisations, and organisations that are either specialised in standardisation or involved also in other activities.

The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) are familiar examples of organisations that develop standards used globally.

Standards developed by some U.S.-domiciled (headquartered) organisations such as American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM) have gained direct international acceptance in specific sectors and serve as de facto global standards. These standards are developed with input from international participants, in some cases on an individual basis, in others on an organisational basis. In addition, in certain technology sectors, consortia organisations are popular means for the development of global standards. Consortium technical categories include areas such as e-commerce, the Internet, multimedia, web services and so on.

More public complaints about unsanctioned minibus fare hikes

By Vanessa Narine

SEVERAL more commuters have complained about the arbitrary fare hikes by minibuses plying Route 44.

It was the second such outcry within the last month, from passengers, the first being by operators on Route 32.

Many parents, who spoke to the Guyana Chronicle bemoaned the increase of as much as $60 imposed by minibus drivers on both routes.

The first complaints of the unsanctioned move surfaced in mid-December.

Repeated attempts by the Guyana Chronicle to contact the Head of Consumer Affairs, Ms. Muriel Tinnis, as well as the Permanent Secretary in the Tourism Ministry, Mr. Willet Hamilton, proved futile.

Meanwhile, Acting Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Mr. Irfaan Ali remains

mum on whether any firmer actions are being taken to curb the worrying trend.

Following the rise in Route 32 charges, the last word from Ali was that an advisory was issued by the ministry, which urged persons to report the unauthorised charges to either the police or the ministry.

UNFAIR DEMANDS He stated that police officers will be asked to enforce the current and approved fare structure and prevent unfair demands by the transport operators.

However, even as the minister dubs the higher charges both “unsanctioned and unjustified”, members of the public maintain that an advisory is not enough to rectify the situation.

This newspaper understands that while it was issued and some complaints made, not much was done by the ministry to deal with the issue, much

to the chagrin of the travelling public.

Among commuters are schoolchildren, who already face difficulties with the transport system and now have the added burden of higher fares.

In December, Minister Ali had told the Guyana Chronicle that there is no way the Route 32 drivers can unilaterally decide to raise fares, adding that there have been no consultations with the Mini-Bus Association on the matter.

He had said, that the ministry has a standing agreement with the Association, which clearly states that in the absence of higher gasolene prices, there cannot be a raise in fares.

Unilateral fare hikes by minibus operators have been an on and off cause for concern in the last three years, with some incidents resulting in strike actions that left hundreds of commuters stranded.

Deputy Speaker for medical tests in Florida FRONT bencher for A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) in the National Assembly and Deputy Speaker, Deborah Backer, was reportedly flown to Florida, USA, for medical tests.

Details on the particulars of her illness have not yet been divulged, but APNU Leader David Granger, in recent media reports, has expressed his hopes for Backer’s speedy recovery.

Parliament is expected to meet on January 16. When asked about her attendance, Granger said: “Mrs. Backer’s condition is stable and we don’t have any reason to speculate on her attendance.”

The Member of Parliament (MP) has been ailing for some time and was first treated at a private hospital in Georgetown.

Eureka Medical Laboratory to join list that uses GPHC’s Hydroclave

THE Eureka Medical Laboratory will soon join the list of medical institutions that utilise the service of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s Hydroclave system.

The hydroclave ensures that all medical waste from public and private medical institutions is treated before disposal, so as to reduce risks of contamination among garbage collectors and waste pickers.

GPHC Waste Management Consultant Mr. Rufus Lewis had highlighted to ‘Clean and Green Guyana (CGG)’ that the organisation will be intensifying its public awareness efforts, since many private institutions are not treating their infectious waste through the hydroclave.

He noted that some workshops were held to enlighten medical institutions on the im-

portance of the hydroclave`s functions.

However, speaking to CGG on Wednesday, Eureka Medical

Shawn Manbodh - Deputy Quality Manager, Eureka Medical Laboratory Laboratory`s Deputy Quality Manager Shawn Manbodh said his organisation was never in-

formed by the GPHC that the hydroclave was functional.

Manbodh pointed out that it was only until last November that Eureka became aware of its operations via a newspaper article, which called for more medical institutions to get on board.

Prior to this, Manbodh said he was enquiring about the Hydroclave`s readiness from his counterparts at the GPHC. Given their new knowledge about the treatment facility, Manbodh said they are currently awaiting a quotation and requirements needed for the Lab to utilise the hydroclave. These include the cost per poundage of medical waste and how they should be packaged.

He anticipates the Lab signing an agreement by next week to use the hydroclave`s service.

In absence of the hydroclave`s service, Eureka Lab takes its own precautions in disposing its medical waste. Solid waste is packaged separately in hazard bags and liquids are treated with bleach as well as diluted with water.

Clean and Green Guyana is an initiative that falls under the purview of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development and is funded by the Inter-American Development Bank.

Oil tanker damage to DHB - massive repairs completed, operation back to normal

By Leroy Smith

WITH the exception of two missing clusters, everything is back to normal at the Demerara Harbour Bridge following six hours of intense engineering works on the structure by bridge employees late Wednesday night into yesterday morning.

The works were done under the watchful eyes of Transport and Public Works Minister, Robeson Benn, General Manager of Demerara Harbour Bridge, Rawlston Adams and consultant engineer with the Ministry of Public Works, Walter Willis.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle moments before the works began, Adams said that they were working to ensure that they meet the deadline they had set so that traffic, both ocean and vehicular, could transit the bridge as normal.

Asked about the initial cost

of rectifying the damage caused by an oil tanker which had slammed into the facility after the pilot reportedly failed to heed the directions of the bridge traffic controller, Adams put the preliminary cost at just over $20 million.

He also pointed out that the figure has the potential to go higher since there were other aspects of the investigation which has not yet been completed. He noted that the company is aware of the figure being looked at since the company representatives were part of the initial investigation.

However, Adams told the Chronicle that the entities involved have failed to come to a common ground with the initial price tag for the damage.

When this publication visited the bridge Wednesday night, all materials, machinery and workers were in waiting until the bridge was closed. However,

it did not close at 22:00 hrs as the management had initially reported but a grace period of half hour was given for commuters to cross the bridge.

The works entailed the removal and replacement of one of the transoms, the changing of four connecting posts and the testing of the retractor span.

The bridge had been unable to open since Sunday’s accident but once all the repair works go according to plan, the first retraction since Sunday will be today at 11 am.

On Wednesday all hands were on board and workers were visibly working hard and fast to ensure they met the deadline set to have the works completed. While the works were dominated by men there was also one woman on the same level of the men and she was competing for equal space in getting the job done.

s religious freedom that drove the vered pandit to do what he did, and hat period was tantamount to the eginning of a dictatorship which saw eneral elections being rigged along ith that of trade unions and even ligious bodies.

“That is the only way we can have mmunisation against other attacks that ay come. We have to have freedom f diversity, and we have to be part and arcel of all the developments,” the resident said.

He also recalled the oratory skills f the late parliamentarian when ebating matters of legal affairs or gricultural issues.

He reminded guests to seek knowldge and not be swayed by reports y some sections of society who are racticing similar tactics to those seen the mid 1960’s, which led to life eteriorating for all, and resulted in

Guyana moving from being the most developed country in the Caribbean to the poorest in 1992. This, he said, must never be allowed to occur again, as he warned against those who preached disunity.

The Head of State was accompanied by his son Alexi Ramotar, and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds who paid tribute to his late parliamentary colleague, Reepu Daman Persaud, whom he said always invited him to ceremonies held to observe festivals such as Diwali and Phagwah and made him feel welcome.

The Prime Minister recalled Pandit Persaud telling him that, “all of the religions are like streams flowing down to the same ocean, and we

should all love and help each other”.

Head of the Dharmic Sabha and daughter of the later Pandit Persaud, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, said that 40 years for any organisation requires immense struggle, dedication and commitment and that was displayed by her father when he answered the call which led to the establishment of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha. “ Today we sit here as proud members of the Hindu Dharmic Sabha, proud because we pledged to continue the work of Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud who stood up in the wilderness as a voice of not only Hindus, but as a voice of the Guyanese people who needed his voice, his actions and more importantly his vision.”

She also thanked all of the organisations and persons who followed the vision put forward by her father, and

President Donald Ramotar addressing the gathering their cohesiveness that enabled the organisation to achieve its milestone.

Senior Vice president of the organization, Parmanand Bhanu, is brief remarks, recalled the efforts made by the

late Pandit to establish the Shri Krishna Mandir and the sacrifices throughout the years to build an awareness of Hinduism across Guyana. “I urge all devotees to remember the sacrifices made by pandit and the

lessons he taught us on how to be good Hindus and citizens”.

Congratulatory messages and tributes were also made by representatives of affiliated Hindu organisations and the Hari Krishna Movement from various communities across the country.

The Hindu Dharmic Sabha has been active in many communities, not only as it as it seeks to preserve its rich culture, but also as advocates against alcohol abuse, domestic violence, suicide and HIV/ Aids prevention. Its members have also undertaken charity drives to assist the underprivileged and numerous literacy programmes.

The organisation will be hosting the Sonu Nigam troupe at the National Stadium on May 4, as part of its anniversary celebrations and also to mark the 176th anniversary of East Indian arrival in Guyana. (GINA)

Flashback to Night of Love concert!!!

SOME said it was a concert made in heaven, others said the combination of John Legend and Beres Hammond was genius; we simply say the ‘Night of Love’ concert was exceptionally exceptional.

History was made in Guyana during the wee hours of January 05, 2014 when nine-time Grammy award winner John Legend walked on to the stage at the Providence Stadium and greeted thousands of screaming fans.

Being the gentleman that he is, Legend was decked out in a sleek black suit, and wore a charming smile that penetrated every female fan’s heart once he stepped on stage. Taking his position at a handsome piano, the singer/song-writer breathed life into the instrument with adroit fingers, opening his performance with ‘Made to Love’, the second single off his latest album. Enchanted fans could not contain their ecstasy, and screamed in abandon as they came under the mesmerizing influence of the Legend magic, whilst he only occasionally glanced at the audience.

He then went into the 2012 single ‘Tonight (Best you ever had)’, baptizing the ladies (many men included) in a love frenzy. Still playing the piano, Legend spoke about his journey to Guyana, having to travel through a storm and arriving in rainy weather; but he recognized that the night was made perfect, for love and offered to set the mood just right with his music. Thunderous applause signalled cheerful acceptance of his offer.

John Legend took his Guyanese fans on a musical journey with songs from ‘Get Lifted’, ‘Evolver’, ‘Wake Up’, ‘Love in the Future’, and his most loved singles. In an hour of exceptionally beautiful music, Legend captivated, mesmerized, and enthralled his adoring audience with songs like ‘Used to Love U’, ‘So High’, ‘Wake Up’, ‘Good Morning’, ‘Can’t be my Lover’, ‘Who do we think we

are’, ‘Green Light’, ‘Ordinary People’.

And more intriguing, Legend belted out his version of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get it On’; all the while wooing his hopelessly devoted fans with an attractive smile and dazzling eyes as he expressed his appreciation of Guyana and his desire to revisit this country.

At about 1.30am, Legend bid his audience farewell and left the stage. This created quite a stir, as the audience chanted “We want more! We want more!” continuously until the singer returned to the stage.

Again greeted with thunderous applause, Legend seated himself at his piano and had his audience lapping up the love that flowed from his inimitable personality. ‘All of Me’, dubbed the ultimate love song of 2013, was effortlessly sung by the artiste who had written the track in dedication to his wife, Chrissy Teigen, whom he wedded in September, 2013. Teigen sat comfortably across from Legend behind the speakers in a corner of the stage, only partially visible to the audience.

Legend definitely saved the best for last during his performance of this final track, engaging the crowd as they sang along pleasantly while the artiste continued playing the piano, his bombshell smile plastered on his face.

He then said goodbye, and took a bow before briskly walking off the stage.

Shortly thereafter, Guyana welcomed Reggae icon Beres Hammond, who entertained the crowd with his legendary voice and soulful tunes. This magnificent crooner appeared on stage sporting denim jeans, a colourful shirt (which later exposed a black vest) and his trademark hat.

Hammond, who greeted his fans over the microphone by yelling “Family!”, emerged youthfully skipping on to the stage, proving that he still is a very energetic performer.

15,000+ fans witness exceptional John Legend/Beres Hammond performances

The revelling crowd certainly received their money’s worth in classic entertainment.

The Jamaican artist wasted no time in getting in to his list of hits, including ‘Rockaway’, ‘What one dance can do’, ‘They gonna talk’, ‘I feel good’, ‘No disturb sign’, ‘Tempted to touch’, ‘Can’t stop a man’, ‘Sweetness’, and many others!

Expectedly, the audience rocked to the Reggae vibes, and sang merrily as they held their friends and loved ones close, a natural reaction when Hammond takes a stage. The 58-year-old did not disappoint the thousands who remained to enjoy his music, and performed for a whopping two hours!

Hammond brought the curtains down on the Night of Love concert at just about 4.15am, amidst a mass of satisfied revellers.

Prior to these main acts, there were performances from K.I. and the JMC 3Veni Band, Jumo Primo, and from Mingles Sound Machine.

Sizzla no longer welcome at Melkweg show Sizzla

Reggae superstar Beres Hammond thrilled the thousands that came to be wooed by his splendid vocals.

ORGANIZERS of the Melkweg show slated to be held here on March 16 have said that, because of his anti-gay lyrics, they have withdrawn a request for Jamaican dancehall singer Sizzla to perform this year.

They said they have been made aware of the performance of Sizzla, whose real name is Miguel Orlando Collins, at a show in Jamaica over the last weekend; and that he had performed a song against gay relationships. Patrons who have already purchased tickets for the March 16 show would be refunded, Melkweg organizers have said, because they do not want to provide a stage to anyone who sings such “very hurtful and hateful lyrics”.

In 2007, Sizzla signed a document renouncing previous anti-gay statements. He had also promised not to sing anti-gay songs on European stages.

Legend /Hammond show at National Stadium opened

by KI & JMC 3Veni KI & JMC 3Veni, acclaimed by many as the Caribbean’s premier crossover band, kicked off the New Year alongside international recording artistes John Legend and Beres Hammond at the Guyana National Stadium last

Saturday.

Fronted by Chutney Soca Monarch KI, the band was ecstatic to have performed on such a big event, after a ten-day family vacation in Toronto, Canada.

3Veni also performed at the recent wedding of West Indian

KI

cricketer Ramnaresh Sarwan in Guyana. KI’s singing sidekicks, Nishard M and Neval Chatelal, are overwhelmed at the magnificent reception to their Carnival 2014 releases.

Thus far, 3Veni has released KI’s Runaway, remixed with Olatunji; Professor Feter, on the Bad Influence Riddim, featuring KI, Nadia Batson and Lyrikal; and Lolita, with vocals by KI and Neval Chatelal. Nishard M is also the voice on the chutney soca single Mammy Say. The band 3Veni also intends releasing No Conduct, produced

by KI and Rishi Mahato of Maha Productions; Tremble It, on the CurryQue Riddim; Chip, produced and written by Rich Persad, KI’s younger brother; and Carnival Symptoms, produced by Precision Productions and London Future.

KI said the band would be representing T&T “on a different scale this year.” In September 2013, the aggregation did a 14-day cultural exchange to China for the ninth annual China Folk Art Music Festival.

The band will also be on the road for J’Ouvert, providing music for First Trace; and is among the few bands still playing live music for masquerade troupes on Carnival days.

HJTV & McNeal Enterprise send special thanks to a supportive Guyanese public HITS and Jams Entertainment and McNeal Enterprise are thanking the Guyanese public for their overwhelming support of the Night of Love concert.

The promotional companies affirmed that, with necessary cooperation, Guyana can become the entertainment destination of the Caribbean.

“There is a linkage (between) positive things and economic development. A country grows when people have confidence in a country; and when people have confidence in a country, they invest. When people invest, the economy grows. When the economy grows, it has an impact on businesses, from hotels to taxi services to food services to the clothing industry…

“We still have selfish companies in this country…they are into petty politics…. This country could not develop and grow… It is the impact of the economy that will change this country. If we work together, we can make this country the entertainment centre of the Caribbean,” Mr. Odinga Lumumba, Chief Executive Officer of McNeal Enterprise, said at a press briefing on Wednesday.

Lumumba, however, recognized the major improvement made in the entertainment industry, with the successful staging of major concerts headlined by international artistes such as the two most recent acts -- John Legend and R. Kelly.

It was pointed out that the Night of Love concert hosted on January 04, 2014 served as a major tourist attraction, with persons travelling from Germany, Trinidad and from neighbouring Suriname, among other countries, to attend this concert.

Director of Hits and Jams Entertainment, Kerwin Bollers, also said there were over three hundred (300) Surinamese present at the concert, but he posited that Guyana must continuously push to improve its performance in regard to tourism events, and hopefully, next year see attendance of 2,000 foreigners at concerts such as the Night of Love.

Bollers said the VIP area was completely sold out, and that this show managed to create an admirable level of tourism entertainment in Guyana.

The organizers agreed that work must be done to transform the image of the country if the level of entertainment seen at the Night of Love concert is to be maintained. “John Legend was able to tell his 20 million fans how he enjoyed Guyana. No money can buy that! That’s worldwide!” Lumumba declared.

The promoters announced that efforts will be made to stage three or four annual mega- concerts in Guyana.

A sneak preview of all the excitement and all the fun that will be generated when Pulse Entertainment stages their 2014 Mash Party Truck initiative Celebrity package costs Gy$20,000, and entitles you to entry on to an air-conditioned truck with balcony; lunch & premium drinks.

Let’s tell it like it is…

A lazy hard-back dude is preying on the ‘different species’

Rover, the Male Betty Sleep Around SOME men should be ashamed of the measures they employ to ‘live easy’, since they do not want to work and earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, as the Bible has dictated.

While some steal and rob innocent citizens, others have recently been opting for what they often deem ‘an easier trade which brings with it great dividends and even erotic pleasure’.

Here of late, many young men have been going after the ‘different species’, who are more

ready to pay them handsomely for sexual favours. So you see, folks, these dudes are getting ‘ready cash’ plus an opportunity to fulfill even their wildest fantasies. How interesting!

Oh, by the way, when I refer to ‘different species’, I am talking about men with strange sexual preferences. So I hope you read through the lines.

While this behaviour may be the new ‘choice of profession’ for many young men, I would caution that they cease and desist from indulging in

this practice, since the ‘different species’ are highly flamboyant, promiscuous, and often cavort about the place with multiple partners.

Now, many of these young men who have ‘clients’ are having normal relationships with pretty, young and unsuspecting girls, who have not the faintest idea of these men’s ‘other life’.

Well, de adda day a certain young man from Annandale Village, (I am going to call him Rover) clamp he tentacles around one ah doze ‘different species’, wan more popularly known as ‘De Diva’; but he was not so lucky like de addas, and he de certainly mess wid de wrang gyal, well, bhai – whatever!!

De adda day he visit ‘De Diva’ at she apartment at ‘Retro Housing Scheme’ under de pretext that he desperately in need ah some ‘desirable fantasia’ as he choose tuh put it ovah!

De Diva cook up a fantastic meal, and served up some ah she most rated champagne, and dey both had dere fill. Aftah he had he fill ah both wine and ‘certain other things’, he pretend he received a phone call and left, claiming he chile modda from Berbice call he.

But as he was bathing to go to he ‘so-called chile modda,’ De Diva quickly pick up he phone and dial de last number he de called, only to realise dat

Bombshell’s hottest Babes…

Lyn Ann Medford is Bombshell’s ‘Babe of the Week’

Hot and sexy, she reeks of red hot erotic desire...

BOMBSHELL brings to the platter the very first hottie of the year, Miss Lyn Ann Medford.

An accomplished dance instructor, runway model and choreographer, this diva has become quite popular for her livid and provocative fashion ideas.

While she is indeed a very delectable Caribbean morsel, she declares that the man of her dreams must be intelligent, ambitious, and creative; and be capable of igniting ‘her liquid feminine cravings’. He must, of course, be an excellent cook, besides being able to work up ‘pleasant bedroom surprises’.

So guys, this ‘Caribbean Surprise’ won’t be around forever. But you have to hit her up on Facebook, dudes, because she hasn’t left a number.

Lyn Ann Medford

de caller was wan ah he/she kind.

Well, dis bhai left and never returned dat night, as he pramis; he come in broad daylight de next day. De Diva was vex bad bad, but she/he let dis bhai in de house and went back to bed with she/he mouth lang like wan Antigua Sword Fish.

That horrible man pretended he had another call and had to go to de Brickdam Police Station.

Instead, he had already thrown one of De Diva’s brand new footwear out de front door with intention to pick it up later.

The raging Diva

Wid sleep in she/he eyes, De Diva returned to bed and did not notice de footwear missing until two hours latah. Since den, dat young man deh pramising to return De Diva footwear, but he always fail tuh show up as planned.

Well, De Diva find out wheh he living in Annandale, and she/he and a truckload ah drag queens plan tuh go up to dis bhai mother house tomorrow! And knowing dis Diva, de scene would be a royal showdown; it would even mek

Muhammad Ali’s ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ look like chile’s play fuh dis young man.

Suh De Diva gat some advice fuh dis young bhai: Bhai, save yuhself de embarrassment and return meh shoe before yuh face de shame of a lifetime.

And by de way, did I mention dat he infected De Diva wid a STD? Well, my only concern is that I hope he has not passed the same STD to his so-called child mother. De bhai is a ‘Betty Sleep Around’.

Chow Pow brings ‘Owen Blakka Ellis’ for birthday celebrations G

Jamaica’s world-renowned thespian, Owen “Blakka’ Ellis

UYANA is in for a special comedy treat when the most popular of entertainers celebrates his birthday on February 8, 2014 at the National Cultural Centre.

Yes, we are talking about the adorable Mr. Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine…. The treat comes in the form of Jamaica’s world renowned thespian, Owen “Blakka’ Ellis.

Blakka is the name that he is known by the world over. He has worked as an actor on two national pantomimes, numerous plays, the ABC television series ‘Going to Extremes’, the Warner Brothers’ feature film ‘Club Paradise’, the Jamaican blockbuster ‘Dancehall Queen’, and various television and radio commercials.

He has performed at the world famous Apollo Theatre in New York, The Hackney Empire in London, and at major comedy festivals in Toronto. Blakka has also performed in New York, Los Angeles, Florida, Washington DC, and all over the Caribbean, either as a solo act or as part of the popular “Bello & Blakka” duo.

A professional actor, writer and teacher, Blakka is widely regarded as one of the top comedic entertainers in the Caribbean. Just go to Youtube. He will now be the headline act for “Chow Pow’s Comedy Jam, “48 N’ Straight”.

In a statement, Blakka noted that his coming to Guyana is long overdue, and he promises to make Guyanese “laff til dem belly touch ground”.

“Me wan give unu a performance that unu will never forget!

I also am very excited to perform alongside Mr. Chow Pow, whom I have heard so much about from my fellow Caribbean thespians.

“According to the information I got, Chow Pow could lay claim to be the new Habeeb Khan, but that I will have to see for myself,” Blakka said.

Guyana’s veteran comedian, Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine The Comedy Jam will actually run for two nights, February 8 & 9, and will include “Uncensored” Queen Radika, Gopaul, Henry Rodney, Dance Fanatics Theatre, The Reactorz and Basil Bradshaw.

Persons born under the Zodiac sign of Aquarius can win tickets simply by clicking the like button on the Yolo Entertainment & Advertising Page on Facebook and ‘inboxing’ their correct name, DOB and contact info. A total of twenty-six tickets will be given away.

Tickets will go on sale in the coming week at the usual ticketing outlets.

‘Cut it off Guyana’ tour looms…

DJ Nicholas, Jason Mighty, Yankee B and Kevin Smith are coming!

OFFICIALS are working out strategies to curb the increasing youth-related criminality and negativism, but private partnership is also important.

Kester Dean, a private citizen who has had his share of youthful negative vibes, is now on a mission to encourage change in the way youth are perceived.

Come January 31 and February 1 and 2 respectively, all roads will lead to the Anna Regina Community Centre ground in Essequibo; the GFC Ground in Georgetown; and the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground on the West Coast of Demerara for youth revival concerts through a Kerster D initiative.

Dean, a businessman/Gospel artiste and television talk show host, has enlisted several Jamaican artistes to offer Guyana a collective example of youth who are defying the odds to be positive role models in their homeland and abroad.

Sponsors for this event thus far are ANSA McAL, Digicel and Sterling Products Limited.

Dubbed the ‘Cut it off Guyana’ tour, the artistes carded to invade Guyana are Jamaican DJ Nicholas, Jason Mighty, Yankee B and Kevin Smith; all accompanied by a live band. And they have varying stories to share in music and actual motivational conversations, to influence our youth for positive attitudinal changes and choices that are grounded in the Gospel.

In addition, the Guyanese line-up include Gospel Chutney sensation Anil Azeez, Brother Ravi, Pastor Quincy Costello, Princess Vanessa, Sean English, Samuel Midas and Kester Dean, as well as the dominion dancers and Kingdom Vibration sounds.

The artistes are scheduled to begin arriving from January 28, and Dean says the event is one aimed at offering a refreshing mix of the Word, to influence positive living amongst the nation’s youth and to realize that not because they are young they have to identify with negativism.

Explaining the ‘Cut it off’ concept, he said the idea is not to belittle the young people, but rather to use young people like themselves to show that while one might have made bad choices before, one does not have to continue along the path to damnation.

This concert is being staged in youth language, youth mode of dress, and in youth style of music; but the messages are positively life-changing, as most of these artistes have had a colourful past but have opted to change for the better, and are now reaching out to youth across the region and the world as examples of how God can change their choices while they still be themselves.

A ticket costs $1000 for an adult, but children under 12 years old would be admitted without charge. Show time on each night is 18hrs.

Prior concerts were Back to School Praise and Christmas Fiesta.

Dean is adamant that, “Ultimately, while the artistes are all grounded in Bible teachings, the event is opened to all young people and those young at heart; and I’m offering a guarantee that those who attend the concert will be encouraged to cut off bad associations, bad choices, violence, crime etc., which our nation needs at this time.”

Tickets are being sold at Kester D Music Center, Giftland OfficeMax and Nigel’s Supermarket.

In Essequibo, tickets are available at Hope for All Suddie office, and in West Demerara at all local churches.

Persons desiring more information are encouraged to contact Kester Dean at 600-3991 or 676-1063

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday January 10, 2014

Aries March 21 - April 19

You’re not known for stubbornness, largely because that takes far too much time for your liking -- but right now, you aren’t about to budge a single inch. You’ve got a million reasons, but the main one seems to be that you’ve been through something like this situation before. Don’t let that hold you back! You know well the importance of action compared with reaction. Think about the future -- it’s your job.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

If it feels right in your gut today, you’re sure to be game for almost anything. In fact, right now you’re super-cooperative when it comes to special offers, so go ahead and say yes. If you’re single and someone offers to introduce you to someone new, now is definitely the time to go for it. Why refuse such a lovely invitation? You’ve got to keep moving toward the positive in life.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

You’re even more into sharing today than usual, which is saying quite a lot! If it’s deeply personal matter, though, you might not feel totally comfortable about it just yet, so it’s okay to hold back a little. While you have no problem keeping quiet about a secret that belongs to someone else, holding onto your own top secret news is tougher.

That doesn’t mean you can’t share, just that you should take special care when you’re deciding who to chat with.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Everyone gets to be cranky now and then, even you. That doesn’t mean everyone around has to be happy about it, but if they care, they should try to give you time to get over it. It’s definitely your turn now, but unfortunately, someone you love may be under the mistaken impression that’s it’s their turn. Putting some distance between you two would help, but it could be that it’s time for a big blow-up.

Leo July 23 - August 22 For Friday January 10, 2014 -11:00hrs For Saturday January 11, 2014 -13:30hrs

Your fiery nature is running on high right now, as anyone who tries your patience is just about to learn. At the same time, there’s something to be said for just being nice to all comers, especially if you’re dealing with an authority figure who doesn’t have a vested interest in your future. Save the rage for a situation that can handle it. For now, try your best to be pleasant and accommodating.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

That restless feeling you’ve been going through lately is a dead giveaway -- it’s time to do something totally new. If you haven’t made any plans yet, don’t wait any longer. A foreign land or sweet vacation spot is calling your name, and you can’t keep ignoring it. You’re due for a change of scenery and a break in the action, so why keep resisting it? Whether you need to cross an ocean or just wander into the next county, get going.

Libra September 23 - October 22

If there’s anyone who can talk their way in or out of anything you want, it’s certainly you. That talent, coupled with your natural charm, has helped you find your way through more than one tough situation in your life. Today should add one more success to that list. Someone close needs you to help lift bn the fog they’ve been stuck in for quite some time. It’s an effort, but it’s totally worth it.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

You are taking pretty much everything far too seriously right now. Any duties that have passed on to you because someone else dropped the ball are especially powerful in your mind. Remember that you have other responsibilities, though -- maybe to a certain loved one who’s been patient and understanding. They’ve done as much as they can to help you get through your work -- now is a great time to show them your appreciation!

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

After everything you’ve had to do to work out tonight’s social life, including clearing time, getting chores done and taking care of all remaining responsibilities by the end of the day, you absolutely deserve to have fun -- and you’re the only person who can ensure that you do. If any roadblocks or delays come up, don’t let them get in the way.

Set yourself the important task of self-entertainment.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

You’ve got to make a big decision regarding a certain special person, but you’re not really sure which way to go. You know you’re ready, willing and able to take that leap.

On the other hand, you’re worried about how much time you currently invest in work or school, and you may be nervous that frequent overtime isn’t all that conducive to a relationship. Consider just how conducive a relationship can be to eliminating the urge to put in that overtime in the first place.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Few people have seen your patient side, so folks are rarely surprised when they hear about your latest social extravagance. You may raise eyebrows, but you’re used to that. At the moment, though, a family member needs to ask you for help -- the kind that requires self-containment and objectivity. Can you muster that kind of energy? All things are possible -- just take a deep breath and get going.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

You couldn’t be more tired of deep heart-to-hearts, and other such expressions of sincerity -- though you know that you’ll get back to that in the not too distant future.

You’ve paid your dues and then some with someone in your life, and as far as you’re concerned, your debt has been satisfied for now. If you can’t convince them to let go have some fun, you can wander off on your own until they come back to their senses.

GABF presidential hopeful will seek to work with MoS to uplift the sport once elected

By Michael DaSilva PRESIDENTIAL hopeful of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), Nigel Hinds, in a release said he will work assiduously with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport for the betterment of the game locally.

Hinds, a former national basketball player now-turned-businessman said the key objectives once elected for the four-year term will be the GABF adhering to the constitution of the Federation

and where necessary amending it to strengthen the administration and development of the sport.

He said, also, the GABF will build a strong relationship with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and will work diligently and extensively with the sub-associations across the 10 Regions of Guyana to assist with funding, administration and development.

Maintaining and strengthening the Federation’s relationship with Federation International

Basketball (FIBA), Caribbean basketball Confederation (CBC) and the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) are also on the cards as well as the setting up of mechanism to allocate funds to members of the Federation in a fair manner.

Hinds who is a Chartered Accountant and holds an Accounting distinction from the University of Guyana and Masters in Accounting and Finance from the University of Everton, Florida, USA said once elected, he would ensure the Federation could access

funding for the development and promotion of the sport in Guyana.t.

In his Mission statement, Hinds said the GABF would be united for the development and growth of basketball across the 10 Regions of Guyana.

The key to success he said is teamwork, planning and building and regular communication and meetings within and between the executives of the federation, the General Council, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and International

organisations affiliated to the Federation.

The main attributes of Action Plan for GABF, Hinds said, is to work with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport to ensure that minimum days/ nights per year are set aside free of charge for basketball at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall and to ensure the participation of Guyana’s men and women’s teams in the 2014 Caribbean Basketball Confederation’s championships from July 1 to 12 in Tortola, BVI. Roofing of the Burnham

Basketball Court inclusive of lighting is also high on the agenda as is the roofing of the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court.

Rehabilitation of the Vryman’s Erven basketball court in Berbice with proper lighting and eventual roofing and working with the various municipalities and management to ensure that washroom facilities and outdoor basketball facilities are accessible and in good condition are also Hinds’ plans, once he wins the elections which will be held after the AGM tomorrow.

Chess starts year with Trophy Stall tournament THE GUYANA Chess Federation (GCF) will kick off its year of activities with a one-day rapid tournament under the kind sponsorship of Trophy Stall (Bourda Market and Hadi’s City Mall) this Sunday at the Carifesta Sports Complex, Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown.

Ramesh Sunich, Managing Director of Trophy Stall today pledged his support to the GCF with sponsorship of two chess tournaments this year, with the second being a longer format that is set for later in the year.

“I support all sports and chess came to me and got my support,” Sunich declared to Shiv Nandalall, president of the GCF, before handing over the sponsorship yesterday.

Sunich stressed that he would like to see chess go to a higher level with support from Government and the business community.

“Chess is not only a game but it sharpens one’s knowl-

edge (of aspects) of life,” he observed. Nandalall thanked the business proprietor for his commitment and for coming on board with chess for three consecutive years so far.

Players would be allotted 20 minutes per game in the seven-round tournament which will have a number of trophies and medals at stake as well as cash prizes.

Prizes would also be awarded to the Best Beginner (under 13 years of age), Best Under-16 and Best Female players. The entrance fee for the upcoming tournament is $500 for Senior non-members and $300 for Junior non-members, with registration commencing at 09:00hrs, while the first pawn will be moved one hour later.

Players are reminded to renew their membership with the GCF for 2014 and pay lower tournament fees, as members of the Federation may also become eligible to participate in tournaments overseas or vote at elections for GCF office-bearers.

The next election is set

Last three quarters of 2013 saw improvement in local football - Matthias

By Michael DaSilva GUYANA Football Federation (GFF) president Christopher Matthias is of the view that local football has shown much improvement during the last eight months of 2013.

In an exclusive interview with Chronicle Sport, Matthias said since he won the presidency of the Federation in April last year, much has been done to improve the standard of the sport and much more will be done this year.

“We have achieved in some measure as we have started restructuring of the institution administratively, technically, tactically and competition wise,” Matthias stated.

He said the federation has embarked on the establishment of a data base of players, clubs and officials.

According to Matthias, Banks Beer Premier League is a big boost for the association and it has attracted the attention of sponsors who have lauded the GFF administration for what they are doing.

According to the GFF head, players, clubs, associations and even football fans are benefiting more from the sport and he has seen a greater level of discipline being displayed by all stakeholders as well as sharing of information.

“Last but not least, we have started our reduction of in-

debtedness to our creditors,” Matthias stated, adding “all in all football in Guyana has begun to develop technically, tactically and administratively”.

Matthias said the Federation is in debt to the tune of $40M but that will be cleared off by year end.

The vibrant GFF head said this year the Federation would be targeting the rehabilitation of grounds countrywide and these grounds are the ones that belong to clubs and associations.

Asked how much has been budgeted for the rehabilitation of the grounds, Matthias said the Federation’s development officer Keith O’Jeer has been

tasked to come up with a budget which he (Matthias) is to receive today.

This year, Matthias said, is the year for coaches, as there are 108 teams registered in Guyana but regretfully, there are only 25 persons registered with the coaches association “and most regrettable, of the 25, only five are FIFA qualified coaches.”

He said the GFF’s aim is to train trainers who in turn will coach coaches and to this end, the GFF will be writing every club to identify one person to undergo a beginners’ course.

Asked what regional or international competitions the Federation plans on participat-

ing in this year, Matthias said there are no immediate plans but what he can say is that an Under-23 squad is to commence training shortly for possible selection on a national team that might engage Barbados, Suriname and French Guiana in friendly matches.

The Under-23 squad, he said, will work towards representing Guyana at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil and added to that, the 2018 World Cup. The GFF boss stated that Wayne Dover, Brian Joseph, Denzel Thompson, Dwayne Babb, Sheron Abrams and Andrew Hazel have been identified to work with the Under-23 squad.

for Sunday February 2 and the annual membership fee for Seniors is $2 000 and $1 000 for Juniors (under 20 years old).

Jayawardene hundred puts Sri Lanka on top in Dubai (REUTERS) - Mahela Jayawardene, batting with three stitches in his left hand, ignored the pain to complete his 32nd Test hundred and put Sri Lanka firmly in the driving seat in the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai yesterday.

fifth wicket with captain Angelo Mathews (42 not out) to take Sri Lanka to 318 for four at the close on the second day, for a first-innings lead of 153 runs.

The stylish right-handed batsman, who was injured while fielding at slip on the opening day, punched the air in delight after reaching the century mark

with a delicate late cut boundary off fast bowler Bilawal Bhatti.

Jayawardene had last scored a Test hundred in April 2012 against England at home and had been dismissed cheaply by Bhatti in both innings of the drawn first Test in Abu Dhabi.

He also added 139 with opener Kaushal Silva (95), who fell short of his maiden Test hundred, for the fourth wicket after Pakistan had pegged back Sri Lanka with two early strikes in the morning.

The Pakistan bowlers toiled hard but failed to dislodge the pair as Sri Lanka remained unscathed in the afternoon session.

Part-time off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez finally broke the partnership when he dis-

Former WICB president to be knighted KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) - President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Dave Cameron has congratulated former president Dr Julian Hunte for being awarded Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (KCMG) The Government of St Lucia recently announced that

Dr Hunte is to be knighted for outstanding contribution to the public and private sector in Saint Lucia and the Commonwealth Caribbean community.

Hunte is the third former WICB president to be knighted after the late Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Wesley Hall.

“Dr Hunte’s service to St Lucia in the realms of politics,

sports, diplomacy and government and his service to cricket in the Windward Islands and the West Indies make him unquestionably deserving of this illustrious honour,” President Cameron said.

“The West Indies cricket family is extremely proud to salute Dr Hunte as he is set to receive such esteemed recogni-

The diminutive right-hander trudged back to the dressing room after an unsuccessful attempt to review the umpire’s decision.

Jayawardene, on 26, successfully overturned an lbw decision off paceman Rahat Ali on review while wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed dropped an edge from Mathews later off the same bowler to add to Pakistan’s frustration.

Rahat had struck early to send back Kumar Sangakkara (26) leg-before while his fast-bowling colleague Junaid Khan dismissed Dinesh Chandimal (12), batting at number four due to Jayawardene’s injury, to reduce Sri Lanka to 88 for three.

Yet frontline spinner Saeed Ajmal’s failure to trouble the batsmen and a docile pitch ensured Sri Lanka took a healthy first-innings lead.

Dr Hunte was elected President of the WICB in 2007 and served until 2013. He was also President of the Saint Lucia Cricket Association and the Windward Islands Cricket Board of Control for over two decades, served as a Director of the International Cricket Council during his tenure as WICB President and chaired the global governing body’s Governance Review Committee.

Meanwhile, President of the West Indies Cricket Board Mr Whycliffe ‘Dave’ Cameron has sent congratulations to former WICB President, Dr Julian Hunte, following the announcement of his knighthood.

Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene, first hundred in 10 Tests, gives his team a strong lead against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi yesterday.

MINISTER of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony says that in keeping with the Cricket Administration Bill, he as a Minister would have a very limited and small role to play.

He said that contrary to some perceptions of the Minister being a controlling force, he would be merely required to consult with the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (WICB) in the appointment of an Ombudsman for Cricket who would then verify the identities of the local clubs and organise the elections of a GCB. Thereafter the new executive would appoint an Ombudsman of their own choice, who is independent and can run elections on their behalf. ”That is all. That is the only role of the Minister,” Dr Anthony remarked, while commenting on the state of relations between the Government of Guyana and the WICB in relation to the Cricket Administration Bill.

He said that the WICB was still holding on to its old concerns about the Bill but the Ministry had been talking with Mr Whycliffe ‘Dave’ Cameron, president of the WICB Inc. and he had indicated his intentions to visit Guyana and hopefully his visit might result in a resolution of the areas of contention.

He reiterated that the Bill

had been subjected to exhaustive discussions at the level of a Special Select Committee of Parliament.

That Select Committee, as previously reported, comprised four members of A Partnership for National Unity

DR FRANK ANTHONY (APNU), one member from the Alliance For Change (AFC) and four members of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C).

The members of the Select committee as previously reported were Christopher Jones, Joseph Harmon, Basil Williams and DrRupert Roopnarine of APNU; Khemraj Ramjattan of the AFC; and Dr Anthony, Odinga Lumumba, Attorney General Anil Nandlall and Neil Kumar for the Government.

Minister Anthony said that the Bill had reached the point where it was brought to the National Assembly but there the Government was asked to postpone this part of the process because some of the members who were on the Select committee had identified some concerns.

He said: “We agreed to the postponement because we don’t have anything to hide. We allowed those members to go through and satisfy themselves that whatever was coming in the report was what we had actually discussed. Once they are satisfied then we will be able to table the bill in Parliament and have it unanimously agreed on. So that’s what we are working on.”

He said he was hoping for a speedy resolution because he believed that cricket is suffering due to “all kinds of polarisation” which needed to be put to rest in the interest of the development of the sport in Guyana.

He said that he believed that the Interim Management Committee which the Government had put in place in December 2011 to oversee the administration of the game had done an excellent job particularly since it was a draft document produced by that Committee, headed by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd, which had been the basis for the deliberations of the Special Select Committee on the Cricket Administration Bill.

Originally, the tournament was set to bowl off on January 25 and culminate the following day, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the Competitions Committee within the GSCL Inc. has pushed back the hosting of the tournament to the new date mentioned above.

The winning team in the Open category will pocket G$1M, a trophy and 15 medals, with the runners-up collecting $200 000, a trophy and 15 medallions. In the Over-40 category, the winners will receive $600 000, a trophy and medallions, while the second-placed team will take home $200 000 a trophy and medals.

Man-of-the-Series for both categories will receive a threepiece living room suite or cash equivalent and the Man-of-theMatch of the final, $10 000 and a trophy. Teams desirous of competing in the Open category, are asked to pay an entrance fee of $140 000, while those who wish to do battle in the Over-40 segment will have to pay an entrance fee of $120 000.

The drawing of the competition which is the brainchild

of GSCL Inc. Trustee Mahendra Hardyal, will take place on a date and venue to be announced and already invitations have been extended to teams from Suriname, Canada, Florida and New York.

On the local scene, it is expected that teams such as Wolf Warriors, Berbice Titans, Regal XI, Memorex, Speedboat and Trophy Stall will seek to capture the first prize in the Open category, while Regal XI, Savage Masters and Industry Super Kings, should be among the list of competitors in the Over-40 segment.

Preliminary matches are expected to be played at Everest Cricket Club, Police Sports Club ground, Eve Leary, and the Ministry of Education ground, with the semifinals and final being contested at Everest Cricket Club, which will host the Open final under lights, with live radio commentary.

Donations to several schools; hosting television programmes; providing educational scholar-

President of the St Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Youth Club, Andrew Smartt, expressed gratitude to the teams of the Club and pledged that the mini library would be opened to church members and youths immediately.

GCB salutes an Icon in Terry Holder THE GUYANA Cricket Board (GCB) and to an extent the cricket fraternity in Guyana was plunged into a state of mourning last Wednesday afternoon, following the death of 73-year-old Terrence Holder, a former Public Relations Officer of the GCB and Deputy General Manager of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T).

Holder played his final innings on that day, succumbing to cancer after a prolonged stay at the wicket, during which he stubbornly resisted the urge to call it quits or even retire hurt and certainly, the GCB has lost an iconic figure, who gave yeoman service to the gentleman’s game, until his time of death.

Honorary Secretary of the GCB and Director of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Anand Sanasie, tried hard to hide the sombre feelings he was experiencing when contacted by Chronicle Sport to confirm Holder’s passing.

However, he (Sanasie) said, “Even though we were all aware that Terry was ill for some time

Pollard to miss Super50

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad CMC - Kieron Pollard will not be available for the upcoming Regional Super50 tournament because he is still recovering from an ankle injury, chairman of the Trinidad and Tobago selection panel Alec Burns has announced.

Burns, a former fast bowler, said Pollard was not yet fully fit and cannot be rushed back to cricket.

“We will not have the services of Kieron Pollard because of his injury,” said Burns during

tance towards the establishment of mini libraries for their members.

Foster noted that reading enables the mind to develop and allows individuals to form ideas quickly and while noting that reading is his favourite hobby, he urged the younger generation to develop a culture of research; studying and reading pointing out that this would lead them to successful careers.

The Club strongly believes that Education is the key to success and the veteran cricket administrator issued an appeal for all young sportsmen and women to place emphasis on education and not to forsake it entirely for success in sports.

RHTY&SC, Foster disclosed would be working together with the Berbice Crick-

a cricket show on local television. “A player like Pollard not being there is a big blow but we cannot look to rush the player back into action after his injury.”

Burns also revealed that mystery spinner Sunil Narine will not be available for the first game of the NAGICO Super50 tournament which starts on January 30 and will see T&T going into action the following day, because he will be playing in the South African domestic T20 tournament.

now, his passing still came as a shock as I spoke with him not so long ago. His contribution as a cricket Administrator can be compared to very few, while his integrity, intellect and quest for fairness would be missed.

Personally, I would miss his subtle suggestions even after he departed from us at the GCB (due to his illness) and words of reason that we will forever remember. I, on behalf of myself and the cricket fraternity express deepest condolences to Terry’s immediate family, relatives and friends.”

Meanwhile, the GCB has sent out a condolence message on Holder ’s passing which reads, “The GCB mourns the loss of one of the greatest sons of our soil and who should be deemed a national hero for his priceless work in service to the public at large and several organisations throughout Guyana and the Caribbean region.

The Guyana cricket fraternity hails this champion in his own right, Terry Holder, silently left us all in bereavement at his sudden but somewhat expected departure.

“Narine has a previous engagement to take care of and he will not be home in time for the first game of the tournament.

However, after that, he is available and will be a major boost when he arrives to play,” said Burns.

All-rounder Rayad Emrit is expected to be chosen for the series but the selectors will be monitoring his progress on his way to full fitness following his shoulder injury, after he’s been out of action after falling on his shoulder during the semifinal of the Champions League against the Mumbai Indians.

Terry was first and foremost a broadcaster, having served at both the national and regional levels in this noble profession through which he had become a household name. Terry was also an active Rotarian.

Terry served the Guyana Cricket Board diligently for almost three decades as its Public Relations Officer and will be remembered as having officiated at all of the previous Awards ceremonies and numerous presentation ceremonies in the tireless execution of his duties. His voice still resonates in the Umana Yana where most of these ceremonies were held and will long be revered for the strength and lucidity of his vocals.

The GCB is extremely pleased that they were able to bestow upon him a special award just last month at its 2013 Annual Awards Ceremony held at the GCC Members pavilion in recognition for his long, outstanding and dedicated service towards the development of cricket in Guyana.

We will forever miss his wise counsel and very sober judgments expunged during

the many challenges experienced by the GCB over the past years, as he had steadfastly remained committed to the development of cricket throughout his lengthy and valuable tenure with the GCB. Due to his prolonged illness, Terry decided not to seek re-election at our 2013 AGM but still remained in contact with the administration, since then continuing to offer his advice and counsel whenever called upon or not.

The GCB sincerely offers its condolences to all of his family, friends and relatives during this period of bereavement and trust that his strength of character and integrity will continue to live on and guide the principles and traits that we all continue to uphold.”

The GCB will be hosting a wake for the late Terry Holder this Sunday at the Georgetown Cricket Club from 19:00hrs and all are invited to join with the GCB as they remember and appreciate the invaluable work and achievements of the great son of Guyana. (Calvin Roberts)

Who will they be?

… asks Calvin Roberts

ODAY is the deadline given by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to all territorial boards for the submission of their teams to compete in this year’s inaugural WICB NAGICO Super50 tournament which will be held in Trinidad and Tobago from January 30 to February 16.

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Senior Selection panel last December named a 37-man squad to commence preparations for both the WICB NAGICO Super50 and Regional four-day tournaments, with that squad which was later trimmed to 26, commencing an encampment phase from December 27, 2013.

Last Monday, two fitness trainers from within the Guyana Defence Force, namely Patrick King and Carl Stephenson, joined the team during one of their net sessions at the Everest Cricket Club ground, where they will be providing impetus as it relates to the fitness level of the squad.

However, while the GCB must be commended for the early preparation as well as the initiative to have two qualified fitness trainers work with the team in the aim of getting them to the fitness level and beyond as required by the WICB, the question being asked among the fraternity is, ‘Who will make up the 14-man squad for the NAGICO Super50?’

One look at the 26-man squad and readily persons would see dependable middle order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who recently passed Sachin Tendulkar on the list of unbeaten batsmen with centuries among the lot, along with Ramnaresh Sarwan.

Once these two players are fit and readily available to represent Guyana, there are no ifs and buts about them being in any squad leaving these shores, to represent this country in the gentleman’s game.

There are also Leon Johnson, Christopher Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo and Assad Fudadin, who along with the above-mentioned duo and Narsingh Deonarine, have represented the West Indies at various levels over the past three years and still have within them yeoman service to give to Guyana’s cricket.

Many would say that the selection of this team should be a walk in the park for the GCB’s Senior Selection Committee, which is led by former national fast bowler Rayon Griffith, but

looking at the players during their preparatory encampment period and their work ethics, it is not.

There are several players in the squad, who can fit the role of opener, alongside the regular openers named - Trevon Griffith, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Chandrapaul Hemraj and Rajendra Chandrika - but if I were to select the team, I would ask the dependable Shivnarine Chanderpaul to take the first ball.

No, it is not to throw the 39-year-old left-hander, who has over 150 Test matches under his belt, to the wolves, but to guide and also stabilise the top order, which in recent times has been lacking the will to withstand the new ball, whether it is being bowled by a spinner or a quickie.

Griffith would be his partner at the other end, with Sarwan, who to date has displayed tremendous timings both in the nets and lone practice encounter, walking to the wicket at the demise of the first opener, be it Chanderpaul or Griffith.

Johnson has time and time again been a rock batting at number four, so why change that now, with Deonarine coming at five, followed by Barnwell, Royston Crandon and the hard-hitting Anthony Bramble, who can also step up to the plate and perform the role of opener.

Our spin twins in Permaul and Bishoo, would follow the known batsmen, as they are also capable of producing totals with the bat, having done so for club, county and country in times past, with Ronsford Beaton who is no slouch with the bat, being the number 11 batsman.

So there is my first-choice 11, but with the WICB requiring a 14-man squad, the other three players would certainly give the selectors a headache, since they are capable players within that lot.

Paul Wintz, Andre Stoll, Raun Johnson and Keon Joseph are the fast bowlers, while Robin Bacchus, who can also execute the role of opener, is a capable character with the ball in hand, despite certain circumstances, so in that case, Wintz and Bacchus would be two of the three remaining players being selected by me, leaving one player to be picked.

Fudadin had a successful tour with the West Indies ‘A’ late last year, while Zaheer Mohammed-Shadir, Jonathan Foo, Rajiv Ivan and several others can throw in their hat in the ring for selection.

Printed and Published by Guyana National Newspapers Limi ted, Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park, Georgetown. Telephone 2 2 6- 3243-9 (General); Editorial: 2 2 7- 5204, 2 2 7- 5216. Fax:2 2 7- 5208

One puzzling cricketer is Ivan, who was selected for the same tournament which was played under WICB sponsorship last year, but only had one game against the Windward Islands, where a lot of his teammates were left amazed at the way he handled Christopher Barnwell Shane Shillingford.

He made 19 during a 33-run sixth-wicket partnership with Barnwell, the second highest partnership of the innings, after Griffith and Johnson added 93 for the second wicket, following the early demise of Chandrika, but did not play another game, until the second of two T20 warm-ups against T&T last year, ahead of the twin Island Republic’s campaign in the Champions League.

After Griffith’s 55, 52 from Johnson and Barnwell’s 35, his 19 is the next best score in the Guyanese innings of 198 for 8 off 50 overs, which says he deserves a chance to produce or perish, hence my 14th man in the GCB/WICB NAGICO Super50 lineup.

Therefore, my probable 14 would read in no particular order, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Trevon Griffith, Christopher Barnwell, Leon Johnson, Robin Bacchus, Ronsford Beaton, Paul Wintz, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, Royston Crandon, Narsingh Deonarine, Rajiv Ivan and Anthony Bramble.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The GCB late yesterday afternoon released the names of the 14 members who will be contesting the WICB NAGICO Super50 tournament, under the captaincy of Christopher Barnwell, with Shivnarine Chanderpaul as his deputy and they will remain encamped until January 25.

The squad reads: Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Trevon Griffith, Christopher Barnwell (captain), Leon Johnson, Robin Bacchus, Ronsford Beaton, Paul Wintz, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, Royston Crandon, Narsingh Deonarine, Assad Fudadin and Anthony Bramble.
