Rudy Insanally launches ‘Dancing between the Raindrops’ … ‘Rudy is a beautiful writer’ - President Ramotar

By Shivanie Sugrim FORMER Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Samuel Rudolph “Rudy” Insanally has set a record for being among the best ‘diplomatic’ writers in Guyana by launching his second book titled: ‘Dancing between the Raindrops: A Dispatch from a Small State Diplomat.’

D r. I n s a n a l l y s t o o d amidst a small gathering at the Pegasus Savannah Suite on Tuesday evening, reminiscing about his early experiences as a diplomat as well as delivering solid advice to current and pro-

spective diplomats who were at the event alongside President Donald Ramotar and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, who made similar remarks in showing appreciation for Insanally’s work.

President Ramotar, who has completed three chapters of the book, expressed appreciation for Dr. Insanally’s writing style since it is quite “readable.” He noted that Dr. Insanally had been at the peak of Guyana’s diplomatic service since he was recruited after the country gained Independence and has recorded his experi-

ences against that background.

“I wish more of our public figures who have made important contributions to the development of our country in different ways, will record their experiences either in autobiography form or by writing books,” said President Ramotar.

The President also reminisced on his early days in Parliament when he used to sit and listen to Dr. Insanally speak, recalling that he was never “heckled” and was a man of consistency.

He said further that while it was a “learning experience” for him, it was also “a joy to listen to him speak in the manner that he had,” added President Ramotar.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Rodrigues-Birkett said that the book was quite informative and highlighted a number of issues that were “topical” Dr. Rudy Insanally’s second book that was launched on during Dr. Insanally’s time and are still Tuesday evening at the Pegasus Hotel topical today. She

also remarked on her adoration for the theme of “life and death” that Dr. Insanally captured in his book since it is an inevitable aspect.

“It taught me what I can do to contribute to humanity and in my reign as the Foreign Affairs Minister,” The Foreign Minister said. She also extended her heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Insanally for providing free advice to young people, particularly the diplomats.

Meanwhile, Insanally informed that this book seeks to address his initial proficiencies in the diplomatic field as well as his experiences as Guyana’s Foreign Affairs Minister after Guyana gained Independence. He further noted that “with scientific technological advances, the face of diplomacy will change to create a new genre” to deal with prominent issues worldwide.

As he stood on the podium, he took the initiative to lecture on certain aspects of diplomacy with the hope of enlightening the diplomats who were present.

The former Foreign Affairs Minister recalled that the Ministry started with “limited resources” and he placed specific emphasis on this aspect in his book. He also served as Guyana’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations in 1972 and thereafter was posted as Ambassador to Venezuela. Furthermore, he served as Ambassador to Belgium, Austria, Sweden and Norway as well as Permanent Representative to the European Economic Community. Dr. Insanally was also Chancellor of the University of Guyana.

Rohee: PPP has evidence of irregularities … says report being compiled for GECOM

By Vanessa Narine THE General-Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee yesterday disclosed that the party has evidence of irregularities that have surfaced during the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) ongoing claims and objections period.

“We are currently now compiling the information and preparing the necessary documentation. This information will be sent by letter before the day is out,” he said at a news conference, held at

Freedom House, Robb Street.

PADDING OF PLE According to him, GECOM needs to explain to the nation the “steep surge” in names amounting to over 78,000 new registrants on the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), when traditionally new registrants amount to approximately 11,000.

“The PPP demands a complete breakdown of the new registrants and their origin,” he said.

Rohee surmised that it would seem that there is

some “padding” of the Preliminary List of Electors.

He said, “Over the past 24 hours, it has been brought to our attention that in certain communities that have traditionally supported the PNC (People’s National Congress), that on checking, the PLE irregularities have begun to surface in regard to names appearing on the list.

Indications are that the PLE may very well be padded.”

The General-Secretary added that the “sudden surge” to 78,000 is worrisome, which is why the PPP has approached the problem

GWI to introduce e-billing in early 2015

By Michel Outridge IN an effort to meet the needs of its internet-savvy customers, the Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) will introduce e-billing in 2015 where water bills will be sent electronically via email, according to Customer Services Manager, Jeanette Thomas.

She also said that GWI is geared towards improving its services to customers and with e-billing; it will also ease the paper clutter and see a timely delivery of water bills to customers.

Thomas stated that customers can subscribe to this service by sending an email with the name of the person who is billed for water service and their account number.

She said that GWI is in the process of installing the required programmes for e-billing to take place and it will officially be launched in early 2015.

The senior GWI official told this publication that they have many requests for this particular service since so many of its customers are electronically inclined and the

upgrade was necessary to enable electronic payments through the commercial banks from the comfort of home.

Thomas said that once the bills are generated by GWI it will be filed for future reference, then sent via emails to customers which is quite a simple process.

CUSTOMER SERVICE The Customer Relations and Commercial Services Department is responsible for billing all customers, as well as debt recovery and complaints resolution.

Since July 2006, the company implemented ‘Hi-Affinity,’ a tailored customer billing and management software. This software has made it possible for customers to receive their water bills and requests for new payment arrangements at precise times in the year and in a timely manner.

The standardisation of billing arrangements, cash collections and debt recovery, which will improve the Guyana Water Inc. cash flow position are currently being pursued.

with a process of verification to find out where the 78,000 names came from, and that is exactly what is happening on the ground.

“That is why we have to carry out house to house visits across the country and find out where these names are and where they came from…we have already picked up inconsistencies,” he said.

issues begin to surface. This is nothing new to us and I said this at our last press

ELECTION MODE The General-Secretary contends that these issues are routine, once a country goes into “election mode”, given the no-confidence motion that was handed over to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs, and is supported

by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

“I just want to say as we go into election mode,

conference, that given the experience we have, it is not unusual for us to find problems in the electoral process – associated with the list, the machinery, with the personnel, and as we discover things, we will speak publicly about them, because we also are interested in transparencies and accountability,” he said.

To this end, Rohee made it clear that the ruling party will remain engaged with GECOM to ensure that all concerns expressed are addressed. “ We w i l l c o n t i n ue to be engaging with GECOM. In fact, our task is the help GECOM. GECOM should be glad that our party has people out there assisting them with checking the list, which will assist them in ensuring that the list is untainted,” he concluded.

Ebola outbreak: Kenya at Iraq crisis: International boost to arms and aid supply high risk, warns WHO

(BBC News) THE delivery of arms and aid to Iraq is being stepped up, in an international push to tackle jihadist militants and help those who have fled their advance.

France says it will arm Iraq’s Kurds, who have

Meanwhile, the U.K. has confirmed it will join a

mission to rescue thousands of civilians trapped by IS on a mountain.

Many of those stranded belong to the Yazidi sect.

They are among tens of thousands of people - mostly members of religious minorities - who are sheltering on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq, and are in need of desperate humanitarian assistance, according to the United Nations.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said teams on the ground were making “a very rapid and critical assessment because we understand it’s urgent to try to move those people off the mountain.”

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron says the U.K. will play a role in an international rescue mission, the details of which “are now being put in place.”

Earlier on Wednesday, French President Francois Hollande said his country would supply arms to Iraq’s

A statement from Mr Hollande’s office said the arms would be supplied “in response to the urgent need expressed by the regional authorities in Kurdistan.”

“For several days, France has had the necessary measures in place to support the operational capabilities of the forces fighting IS,” the statement said.

“The catastrophic situation faced by the population of Iraqi Kurdistan means the international community must step up its mobilisation,” it went on.

France has received approval from the authorities in Baghdad for the decision, French media reports say.

The U.S. has also reportedly begun supplying weapons to the Kurdish forces, known as the Peshmerga. Earlier, America announced it had sent 130 more military advisers to the Kurdish region.

(BBC News) THE World Health Organization (WHO) has classified Kenya as a “highrisk” country for the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

Kenya was vulnerable because it was a major transport hub, with many flights from West Africa, a WHO official said.

This is the most serious warning to date by the WHO that Ebola could spread to East Africa.

The number of people killed

by Ebola in West Africa has risen to 1,069, the WHO said in its latest update.

Fifty-six deaths and 128 new cases were reported in the region in the two days to 11 August, it added.

Canada said it would donate up to 1,000 doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine to help fight the outbreak.

In other developments: ● Germany has ordered all its citizens, except health workers, to leave Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the three states where the outbreak has been the deadliest. ● Guinea-Bissau has decided to shut its border with Guinea, Reuters news agency reports. ● Ghana has delayed the opening of universities and colleges by at least two weeks to put in place measures to screen students arriving from Ebola-hit countries. ● The African Union has pledged $1m (£600,000) to help fight the disease.

The WHO’s country director for Kenya, Custodia Mandlhate, said the East African state was “classified in group two; at high risk of transmission.”

Health checks at the main airport in the capital, Nairobi, have been stepped up in recent weeks.

‘Global resource’ The Kenyan government said it would not ban flights from the four countries hit by Ebola.

Ecuador quake rattles Quito, killing three (BBC News) AT LEAST three people have been killed and eight others injured in Ecuador after a shallow earthquake struck the capital, Quito, and the surrounding areas, the authorities say.

The 5.1 magnitude quake caused buildings to sway and sent people scurrying into the streets.

Quito’s main airport suspended operations temporarily as a precaution.

Parts of the city were covered in clouds of dust

The 5.1 magnitude quake sent people scurrying on to the streets in the Ecuadorean capital

that formed from shifting earth at nearby quarries.

The three confirmed casualties are two workers and a four-year-old child buried underneath falling sacks of rice.

Four people are still missing in a quarry in Catequilla, near Quito, after the quake caused a landslide.

Another landslide engulfed a vehicle on a road north of the city, but the driver escaped unharmed, rescue workers said.

‘We could really feel it’

“I was talking on the phone with my daughter and suddenly the line went dead. I thought the house was falling down,” Laura Flores, a resident of Quito’s northern Carcelen district, told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

She said the quake had opened a crack in one wall of her house and caused plates to fall and break.

Te r e s a S a l a z a r, w h o works in northern Quito, said they were “all very nervous”.

“We could really feel it. The first thing I did was leave (the building) with my colleagues,” she told the Reuters news agency.

The US Geological Survey said the quake was centred 23 km (14 miles) northeast of Quito at a depth of 7.7 km (4.8 miles).

Ecuador is prone to earthquakes. It is located along the so-called Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped, seismically turbulent area of the Pacific Ocean.

COP MPs fail to sway Govt on reform bill Kamla agrees to 3 amendments (Trinidad Guardian) DESPITE the lack of support from Congress of the People (COP) MPs—Winston Dookeran and Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan—the Government’s controversial Constitution (Amendment) Bill was passed with amendments in the Lower House at 4.04 am Tuesday and is expected to be debated in the Senate later this month.

The Government only requires one Independent senator’s vote for the bill to be passed in the Senate. This was indicated Tuesday by government officials after a marathon debate on the bill and its contentious runoff poll proposal. Debate began at 10.30 am Monday and ended early Tuesday morning, with the two COP MPs breaking

People’s Partnership (PP) ranks in voting against the bill.

Winding up debate around 3 am Tuesday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said Senate debate will provide a built-in delay on the bill and further consultation, including checks and balances.

“So it’s not all done today. Senate will take up the next step and the debate will continue. First the Lower House will decide on this, secondly the Senate will decide and thirdly the people will decide,” the PM added.

Persad-Bissessar added three amendments to the bills to cover concerns expressed in the debate. PP officials said the Senate debate may be around August 26, allowing time for more discussions, and the Senate

will debate other bills next Tuesday. Speaking around 5 am yesterday, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan said Government only required the vote of one Independent senator in the Senate to pass the bill, adding he believed Government will obtain the necessary support.

Tuesday, People’s National Movement (PNM) Senate leader Camille Robinson-Regis said: “We will continue to oppose the bill in the Senate.

We noticed one amendment was made—on the appointment of a leader whose party has won 21 seats—which was what we had sought to prevent, any sleight of hand. “However, we are still concerned the Constitutional Reform Committee asked that nothing be done until public

comment was received and this still needs to be done since people didn’t get to examine the bills. “ A l s o , w e a re c o n -

cerned the CRC recommended T&T should retain the first-past-the-post system and Government has moved away from the

report.” Robinson-Regis added: “We trust the Independents will do their duty and vote in accordance with the people’s wishes.”

EDITORIAL Guyana shines – again THE naysayers and doomsayers will soon begin their litany of fault-finding and negative pronouncements once again; but as Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent and The Grenadines described us, “Guyana is the only shining star of the Caribbean.”

In every sector, even though external dynamics and opposition inhibitory manoeuvres constrain at times, Guyana has been progressing by leaps and bounds; and despite the flawed and

subjective development reports emanating out of the US and UN oftentimes damn us, our exemplary macro-economic fundamentals and social development in actuality belie those international reports that are mainly based on biased and prejudicial data and analyses provided by forces strongly opposed to Guyana’s PPP/C regime.

And nowhere is this fact more evident than in the annual exceptional examination results at every level of academia in the nation.

Development of na-

tional socio-economic synergies is always a work in progress; and while the Opposition has been fault-finding, nit-picking, naysaying, and even strategising and implementing plans, in conjunction with their historical external, similarly destructive partners, to retard and even regress Guyana’s growth patterns and downscale its development indices, this nation’s trajectory is pointing ever-upwards on charts that are the actual indicators of a country’s realities as opposed to reports

Bai Shan Lin’s operations within Guyana’s forest laws I WISH to refer to a Kaieteur News article in its issue of Tuesday August 12th, 2014 under the caption “Halt and investigate Bai Shan Lin’s operations immediately – APNU- seeks special Sectoral meeting to probe operations.”

1. The Bai Shan Lin Logging Company is working within the Forest laws of our country and their operations must not be halted. With Elections in the air PNC/APNU Joseph Harmon is simply engaged in political campaigning aided by the Kaieteur News using Bai Shan Lin as their Political Football.

2. Harmon seems to be masquerading as a forest expert but is totally an ignoramus on the operations of Guyana’s Forest Sector spewing Fluff and Hogwash about the Forest operations of Bai Shan Lin in the Kaieteur News. But it is said that “empty barrels make the most noise” which aptly describes the PNC/APNU whose agenda is to fool the Guyanese People. But they shall fail and fail miserably.

3. Harmon is a dunce. The Parliamentary Natural Resources Sectoral Committee met a few weeks ago and now Harmon wants the speaker of the house to call an “Extraordinary meeting of the Sectoral Committee” with the presence of Bai Shan Lin’s officials to explain their operations. This is absolute balderdash. Why didn’t Harmon put to the Hon. Minister of Natural Resources all questions pertaining to Bai Shan Lin and the Natural Resources Sector when the committee met a few weeks ago? This shows that Harmon is on the campaign trail with the aid of KN. But as usual Harmon and his PNC/APNU will be victims of defeat.

4. Harmon must know that the harvesting of forest produce by all companies must be below the allowable cut and in this regard the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) has its monitoring systems in place. So the photographs of Bai Shan Lin’s logs and containers in the Kaieteur news are total Non-issues. To prove what I’m saying Harmon, I am inviting you to the Forest for a field walk.

5. Finally, the REDD-Monitor.org is a website that lies about Guyana’s Forest performance and matters that pertain to Guyana’s forest. Janet Bulkan usually posts comments on this website. No wonder the KN gets its erroneous information from this website. Nevertheless I am challenging both Harmon and the Kaieteur News to studiously apply themselves to the response given by Mr. James Singh, our Commissioner of Forests in relation to the erroneous information about the Bai Shan Lin Company (KN Fri Aug 8th, 2014) PETER PERSAUD

US actress Lauren Bacall dies at 89

Lauren Bacall (BBC News) US FILM and stage actress Lauren Bacall has died at the age of 89.

Her Hollywood career spanned seven decades, with a memorable debut aged 19, opposite her future husband, Humphrey Bogart, in To Have and Have Not. More than 50 years later, The Mirror Has Two Faces earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, she went on to become one of cinema’s biggest stars, best known for her husky voice and smouldering looks.

A Twitter account of the Bogart estate, run by Bacall’s son, tweeted: “With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall.”

She reportedly died after suffering a major stroke at home in New York.

Bacall collected an honorary Oscar in 2009 in recognition of “her central place in the golden age of motion pictures.”

UG closure threat

Vice-Chancellor threatens campus - Finance Minister says wide shut-down comments are misplaced

By Vanessa Narine

VICE Chancellor of the University of Guyana (UG), Professor Jacob Opadeyi yesterday threatened a shut-down of the entire campus in the second week of the first semester if the Ministry of Finance does not address the issue of access to student loans.

Opadeyi asserted his authority as “CEO” to enforce what he dubbed “plan B” for the university, adding that the institution will not remain open only for those students can afford to pay.

“The real issues that confront us today is the uncertainty about the access to the student loan for our students; up till this afternoon the student loan office is not able to make a statement whether student loans are available for students or not, right now registration has started and this may impact on our ability to actually go into operation for this academic year,” he said Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh told the Guyana Chronicle that Opadeyi’s comments are reflective of a “misplaced” tirade.

He said, “I have already stated publicly that the matter of increased tuition fees at UG and its implication for the student loan programme are engaging the attention of Cabinet.

“The Vice Chancellor’s latest tirade is grossly misdirected, knowing, as he must, that

Professor Jacob Opadeyi Cabinet is currently considering this matter. His energies would be much better spent asking the Opposition why they reduced the Government’s student loan budget to zero.”

BUDGET CUTS A major challenge is the fact that the total allocation of $450M was chopped from the National Budget by the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), in a parliamentary vote.

Since then, only half of the monies have been restored by the Finance Minister – a move that has seen him referred to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.

The combined Opposition contends that spending authorised by Dr. Singh, including the $225M for the UG loan fund, were “unconstitutional” given that the monies restored were not approved by the combined Opposition.

Prior to the restoration of the sums, the Vice-Chancel-

lor, in an interview, had noted that if the loan subvention for the University of Guyana is not restored by the National Assembly, then the students would be placed in a dire situation as a result of the severe crisis at the tertiary institution if the decision to cut the subvention was not reversed.

However, the two parties maintain that the allocation for UG was linked to other provisions to which they were opposed and, given the ruling by Acting Chief Justice Ian Chang that individual line items could not be cut from the Budget, the entire sum, which included the student loan monies, was removed.

The Government, in turn, has underscored the fact that the National Budget is presented in the same format it has been for several years now, and no allocations are linked, as is being claimed by the Opposition, but listed under the relevant section in the estimates as per normal.The student loan allocation was listed under the Ministry of Finance’s Policy and Administration capital budget.

ADDED CHALLENGES The talk of a campus-wide shut-down has sparked new concerns for current and prospective students, providing an added challenge for them.

The University of Guyana’s Administrative Council in July unanimously voted for the current tuition fees to be increased for the 2014-2015 academic year, which starts in September.

The adjusted fee applies to both new and continuing students who are pursing programmes.

Continuing Guyanese students will pay an incremented increase beginning with $130,000 in 2014, $145,000 in 2015 and $160,000 in 2016, in addition to the $50,000 Facilities Fee, which replaces the various miscellaneous fees, previously paid.

New local students are required to pay $210,000, inclusive of the Facilities Fee for most programmes, except for those listed above

While the fees for foreign students have not been adjusted, they will be required to pay the US$ 250 facilities fees instead of the various miscellaneous fees which were previously paid The application of the new fees was determined following a series of consultations held with current students and other stakeholders in June 2014.

The increase in tuition for students of the UG will place an additional demand on the Government of Guyana’s UG Student Loan Fund and several students have expressed concern over whether they will be able to access the increased amounts.

A significant percentage of the UG students access financial support through the UG

Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh Loan Fund, which is a revolving fund that receives an annual injection from Government, from which disbursements are made, and are refinanced by repayments by students, as well as the continued annual support of Government.

Over the years, a vast majority of the student population at the country’s premier tertiary institution has benefited from such loans and a large percentage of prospective and current undergraduates depend on them.

US, Guyana Gov’ts agree full implementation of LEAD project - after meeting irons out concerns

By Telesha Ramnarine THE Guyana and United States (US) Governments yesterday announced their having reached “final agreements” on the design and implementation mechanisms of the once controversial US$300M Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) Project.

Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, hosted a joint press conference with Charge d’Affairs of the US Embassy, Mr Bryan Hunt, following his usual post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown.

Despite any modification made to its programme activities and implementation tools, the redesigned LEAD Programme’s fundamental objectives remain the same, to wit strengthening the work of the National Assembly and, with consensus, building around important national issues; providing civic education for local government elections; encouraging greater participation in civic life by women and youth; and providing Guyanese institutions and stakeholders with the tools and expertise needed to address challenges.

The two governments sought to disclose the outcome of “more mature considerations” of the project in the context of the good bilateral relationship that exists between the United States and Guyana. Implementation of the project is expected to commence shortly.

Dr. Luncheon disclosed that there hasn’t been much modification in terms of the project’s content. “More added in than what was left out; it is process. What we have done is to spell out in clear and unambiguous details the process. Where we are today compared to where we started has seen some alterations (within) the content of the programme; and in terms of the process, a fuller elaboration on the nuts and bolts (has been made) on how you are going to get things done,” he explained.

Dr Luncheon said it would be instructive to recognise the effort that was needed on both sides to reach to this point.

“There was a commitment to ensure that the benefits of a USAID LEAD Project were not denied Guyana, an overarching approach to getting us where we are today.

“A mutually acceptable regime was all that the Government of Guyana insisted (on) as an outcome of this process; and we are here today, representing both sides, to affirm that this point we are at represents the achievement that we both sought.”

Luncheon said the efforts that have been put into reaching this stage can only be reciprocated by equal efforts from stakeholders who are involved in the implementation phase of the project.

In respect to International Republican Institute (IRI) resident Country Director Glenn Bradbury, Luncheon said that, at Cabinet level, Bradbury has been granted a work permit, extension of stay and such like. Bradbury, whose visa and work

tions and voting processes, but also on the critical role that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) must play in the civic education process,” Hunt said.

The programme can now embark on its important work of facilitating conversations and undertaking activities that will “hopefully” yield to consensus and collaboration between all stakeholders, Hunt declared.

The LEAD Programme, according to Hunt, would provide tools, international expertise, and opportunities to help facilitate conversations and activities on important national issues, Hunt pointed out.

“As Dr. Luncheon and I have sought to develop implementation and coordination mechanisms, it has been foremost in our minds to ensure that Guyanese institutions are fundamentally defined in the agenda for both the LEAD Programme and the country’s democratic advancement.

“To that end, we have sought to provide existing Guyanese institutions - the National Assembly; the Elections Commission; the Women and Gender Equality Commission; the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport – with leading roles in coordination of LEAD activities,” Hunt explained.

Charge d’Affairs of the United States Embassy, Mr Bryan Hunt, and Cabinet Although things have been Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon, following the press conference yesterday said and written about a possible hidden US Government agenda being present, Hunt said he wished to make clear that have been undertaken.

“Thanks to the leadership of Dr. Luncheon and the input of no such agenda ever existed.

“The programme’s only agenda is to assist Guyanese in his Cabinet colleagues, the LEAD Programme will be able to stand as a model of collaboration and innovative development charting and strengthening the democratic future that they themselves identified for their country. As I have pledged assistance for democratic governance.

“The willingness of the government to participate in the privately to Dr. Luncheon, I now wish to commit publicly: All design and implementation of the programme ensures that activities undertaken as part of the LEAD Programme will be LEAD will accurately reflect the needs and interests of all transparent, open to public scrutiny, coordinated within the agreed upon framework, and be responsive to the identified Guyanese stakeholders.

“I have committed to Dr. Luncheon that our implementer needs of stakeholders and for the benefit of all Guyanese,” will immediately undertake to begin consultative discussions Mr Hunt declared.

Hunt said useful input was received from the Governand workshops with key stakeholders in all programme areas.

In that regard, I am pleased to be able to announce that, very ment, particularly in the area of youth and women. “The shortly, the LEAD Programme will be organising a discussion Government had a number of inputs on areas that we had with civil society organisations with respect to public informa- not initially considered, that we have added in, such as tion and education in relation to local government and local economic empowerment of those sectors of society; things such as gender-based violence, which was not originally government elections.

Meanwhile, Hunt offered that the conclusion of this bilateral agreement is cause for celebration, especially as it marks the culmination of several months of discussion on the ways in which the two countries can jointly collaborate on their shared democratic values.

Hunt said discussions that have led to this agreement have been lengthy and, at times, challenging; but he assured that, in the end, both sides feel that the project is now stronger, and has benefited from the additional review and consultations that

MARAD officials participate in Maritime Security Seminar in Antigua DIRECTOR of Maritime Safety, Captain Stephen Thomas and Chief Port Security Officer, Major Dwain Nurse of the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) represented Guyana at the first sub-regional seminar on Maritime Surveillance, Monitoring and Communications Systems for Maritime Security in Antigua held from July 28 to 31, 2014.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana…

CSEC results pour scorn on Granger’s ‘education genocide’ mantra THE latest CSEC results pours scorn on David Granger’s ‘Education Genocide’ mantra, which is intended to use our children to divide our nation.

Old Kai, in the past, had cause to expose Opposition leader David Granger as the consummate hypocrite, when he surreptitiously attempted to advance a racist line by talking about an ‘Education genocide’ under the PPP/C Government.

This was the Opposition now moving to a new low by targeting our children with their message of division.

Their cause was further exposed when Granger brought the Linden student who topped the country in the 2011 Secondary School’s Entrance Examination onto his political platform in the lead-up to the general elections that year. It was rather ironic that here he was exploiting the educational achievements of this child for selfish political gains, but was attacking the educational initiatives of the PPP/C Government.

Since then I have carefully observed him, singling

out specific target audiences to advance his ‘Educational Genocide’ mantra, and then with ease he would switch into lecturing about his commitment towards national unity.

One such example of this sinister agenda was when he recently made a presentation to the mid-career Air Corps, Coast Guard and Ground Forces military officers attending the Senior Command and Staff Course of the Guyana Defense Force, where, among his five areas of challenges highlighted, was, of course, “Educational apartheid.”

Why would he seek to advance such a racist agenda to military officers when that is clearly not the case on the ground? Why would he advance such a blatant lie to an audience where close to a 100% was of a certain ethnicity?

Granger was Forbes Burnham’s political liaison officer to the military during the era of dictatorship, so based on his current misinformation, we can clearly deduce the nasty political indoctrination our soldiers were exposed to during that period. Then, just as now, it was an appeal

“Moreover it was Mr. Granger’s PNC that supported the criminal elements who held Guyana under siege following the Mash Day 2003 jailbreak.

Further, it was Mr. Granger’s PNC who supported the criminal enterprise who held Buxton captive for almost three years.

“Further, it was Mr. Granger’s PNC who described criminal elements as Freedom Fighters.”

The party contends that it would seem that Granger and the PNCR are on the “wrong side” of the law, as was the case since the 1960’s. They continue to find themselves in the company of criminal elements.

“We urge Guyanese to be wary of the wolves in sheep clothing that preach as though they are the only saviours of this country; while in the same breath, they continue to nestle comfortably in the company of criminal elements,” the PPP concluded.

to their ethnic sensitivity.

Thank goodness we live in an age where information is freely accessible and these young officers have access to a variety of information, which they can process to make up their mind rather than simply depend on the jaundiced views of David Granger and company.

One such example is the recently announced CSEC results for our students, where Guyana recorded its best ever-performance in the history of our nation. A look at those performers would indicate that they are spread out across the three counties of Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice.

Now, if improving education and ensuring more equal access to it across the country for all our people by the PPP/C Government is considered by David Granger as ‘Educational Genocide’, as opposed to when access to education was only centred in a handful of schools under his PNC Government, then I am sure the PPP/C will willingly plead guilty as charged.

As Claims and Objections period continues…

PPP to GECOM: Ensure all eligible voters on the final voters list

THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has issued a public appeal to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to vamp up its efforts to ensure, as far as possible, that every eligible Guyanese is on the final voters list.

The ruling party, in a statement, yesterday, said, “The PPP remains dissatisfied with the poor public relations done

by GECOM during the Claims and Objections period thus far. Time and again we have voiced our concerns over the inadequate time mobile units have spent in communities, especially in the Hinterland Regions during the 6th Cycle Registration. We also pointed to the lack of proper and timely notification to residents as regards mobile units visiting their communities.”

This call was made by the party in recognition of the possibility of early General and Regional Elections, given the fact that the minority opposition, the Alliance For Change (AFC), has forwarded a no-confidence motion to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs. The move has been publicly supported by the main opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

According to the party, much thought must be placed to identifying convenient days and times unique to each community, based on the diverse culture and way of life of our people.

“It is our expectation that GECOM will act now to correct these deficiencies since the Claims and Objections period will conclude soon. It is our hope that no Guyanese will be disenfranchised during this very critical period in our country's history,” the PPP said.

The ruling party has also called on all Guyanese to make good use of this period in ensuring everyone of voting age is registered. Persons who would have changed residence must take transfers, correct particulars where necessary, and of course make bonafide objections to persons listed on the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), but would have died, imprisoned for a lengthy period, become medically challenged, or under the voting age.

By Vanessa Narine VISHNU Persaud was yesterday sworn as the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) new Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO) and Deputy Commissioner of Registration (DCEO/DCNR) by Chief Justice (ag.) Ian Chang.

His swearing in followed the approval of his appointment by the Commissioners at a meeting this week.

In an invited comment, Persaud said, “It is indeed and honour and a privilege to have been given the opportunity to serve at this high level at the Guyana Elections Commission; something which I consider to be as acting in service to the nation.

“I am thankful for the level of confidence the Commissioners have expressed by approving my appointment. I am committed to

carrying my duties without bias fear or favour.

“I have always enjoyed good relations with the other team members and senior management within the Secretariat of GECOM and I am confident that I will benefit from their support throughout my tour of duties.”

Chair of the Commission, Dr. Steve Surujbally, when contacted by the Guyana Chronicle, expressed confidence that Persaud will

ably support the Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Mr. Keith Lowenfield.

According to him, Persaud is intimately familiar with the various aspects of the Commission’s work.

“I have worked with him for more than 15 years and I think he is both efficient and capable of performing his new duties,” Surujbally said.

Prior to this appointment, Persaud served as GECOM’s Public Relations Officer since November 2001. The now vacant post of Public Relations Officer is expected to be advertised

this week.

He also served GECOM in the capacity of Scribe to the commission from 2004 to April this year, and as Personal Assistant to the Chairman from 2002 up to the point his current appointment. Further, Mr. Persaud has been integrally involved in GECOM‘s Public Education campaigns and promoting the image of GECOM.

the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), both being Educational Institutions in the United Kingdom.

According to a statement from GECOM, Persaud’s appointment resulted from a transparent recruitment process which involved (i) advertising the vacant position, (ii) receiving applications and shortlisting suitable candidates, and (iii) the conduct of interviews by a panel comprising the GECOM Chairman, four Commissioners and the Chief Election Officer.

Rohee rubbishes claims of PPP’s connection to GECOM impostors

By Vanessa Narine THE ruling party’s General-Secretary, Clement Rohee, yesterday, rubbished claims that People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) activists had any connection to the problem of impostors of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) in Region 1 (Barima/ Waini).

“I am saying I don’t know anything about that allegation,” he said.

GECOM in a statement on Tuesday said, “The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is in receipt of reports From Region 1 that unauthorized persons, claiming to be employees of GECOM, have been visiting homes with copies of extracts of the current Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) to check, and advise residents, on their

(residents’) registration status.

“Our investigations have revealed that the persons engaged in this activity are alleged ‘Community Support Officers’ in Mabaruma and Port Kaituma. The investigations have also revealed that the persons have in their possession a copy of a letter purportedly written by the Regional Executive Officer of the Region, authorizing them to engage in the activity of concern.

“In view of the foregoing, we hereby note emphatically that no GECOM staff is engaged in any such activity in Region 1 or any other region.”

The Commission added that staff members are authorized to embark on mobile exercises to provide opportunities for eligible persons

in far-flung communities to conduct transactions relative to the ongoing Claims and Objections exercise.

“All such activities are adequately announced within the respective communities prior to the visits. Further, we take this opportunity to make it abundantly clear that all of GECOM’s employees working in the field wear and are identifiable by certified identification badges at all times during working hours.

They are accompanied by duly accredited and adequately identifiable scrutineers representing the parliamentary political parties,” GECOM said.

PNCR CLAIM REJECTED The Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR) subsequently issued a state-

ment charging that the PPP is using ‘so called’ Community Support Officers (CSO) to do political work in the Region 1.

“These CSO’s, who are paid by the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, are masquerading as officers of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and canvassing residents of the region.

The PNCR calls attention to the fact that these persons (CSO’s) are members of the Progress Youth Organization (PYO) engaging in illegal campaign activity on behalf of the PPP,” the PNCR said.

Responding to this, Rohee made it clear that these comments are completely false.

“The Party rubbishes statements by the PNCR on the use of Community Support Officers (CSO’s) posing

as GECOM staff checking lists in Region 1 on behalf of the Party,” he said.

PLACED IN DANGER The PPP General-Secretary stated that these “attacks” disguised as “exposes” about persons posing as GECOM operatives have placed PPP activists checking the list on the ground in grave physical danger.

“Their statement placed our activists in danger.We have evidence of that,” he said.

According to him, the Commission failed to tell the public that the political parties are on the ground, with copies of the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), which GECOM itself provided to the party to undertake verification exercises.

He said, “Now whether all these people are telling the homes where they go to that

they are representing GECOM or that they are representing AFC, APNU or PNC or PPP, we can’t know that.

“But when we approach a home, we say that we are from the PPP party, we are here to check to find out if these people, these persons whose names appear on the list, are indeed the persons who live here.Our comrades are instructed to inform people that they are here from the PPP party and those are the instructions.”

The General-Secretary stressed that the PPP’s efforts in conducting verifications of the PLE are legitimate undertakings.

“The Party hopes that these attacks are not intended to obstruct verification of the Preliminary List of Electors, which our activists are conducting countrywide presently,” Rohee concluded.

Guyana a trailblazer among Caribbean counterparts…

Visually impaired students set record with 82.4 percent CSEC pass rate

By Vanessa Narine TEN individuals, with varying visual impairments, have set another record, in addition to being the largest batch to sit the Caribbean Secondary Examinations Council (CSEC), by securing a pass rate of 82.4 per cent.

The names of the three top students were released at a press conference held at the headquarters of the Guyana Society for the Blind, on High Street.

Ms. Rosemarie Ramitt, 18, sat five subjects and secured grade ones in each subject; Ms. Odessa Blair, 36, secured five grade twos; and Mr. Vishal Mohabir, secured three grade ones, one grade two and one grade four.

The 18-month programme that engaged the students in lessons to prepare them to sit the CSEC exams was funded by the Education Ministry and supported by several private sector entities. The students sat five subject maximum, which included English, Social Studies, Principle of Business, Office Administration and Human and Social Biology.

The other seven students included: Leroy Phillip, Diane Singh, Anthony Robinson, Douglas Tika, Roy Stewart and Muesa Haynes, as well as Laurel Lewis, who also is physically impaired.

The students were engaged by the Guyana Society for the Blind, following an undertaking to educate persons who were visually impaired by providing equal opportunities through computer literacy in 2012. Under the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme, visually impaired persons were taught the proper usage of computer systems using the Jaws software and eventually became the brainchild for advancing secondary education. The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) sent the exams electronically to Guyana

and the Jaws software was used to allow the students to sit the exams, some of whom were aided by scribes to record their answers to the exam questions.

INSPIRATION Education Minister Priya Manickchand, commenting on students’ success, stated that the success of the students are an inspiration to her and will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration to students across Guyana and the wider Caribbean.

She said, “I am extremely pleased that as a country we were able to provide this service. I am very happy that Guyana, the largest centre in the Caribbean that entered so many students, saw such wonderful results. We believe that this can inspire other CSEC students.”

The minister added that the successful students deserve to be celebrated for their bold move in writing the exams.

“Initially, the students had said to me that they believe this would be impossible. They have shown

us that perseverance, belief in oneself and support from stakeholders, in an environment supported by the Government, can do so much.

For that I am forever grateful to them.”

The Education Minister noted too that this success is another example of how effective and useful the OLPF programme is, since the students were all beneficiaries under the programme.

“The laptops they received were specifically installed with software that gave the students the ability to study, studying that culminated in the results we are seeing now,” she said.

Minister Manickchand was emphatic that investment in the people for any country pays off in both the individual’s life, as well as in the country.

“I warmly congratulate students, teachers and parents and I thank them for the inspiration,” she said.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES Coordinator of the project, Mr. Ganesh Singh, who

is also visually impaired, stated that the 18-months were months of challenges, including the fact that many of the 10 students participating came on board with primary level education, having dropped out of school because of their disability.

“Through our collaborations, we were able to successfully get past these challenges,” Singh said.

According to him, considering the limitations facing the students and tutor, particularly in terms of limited resources, the pass rate of 82.4 per cent is most commendable.

“I am on cloud 10,” he exclaimed.

Supported by external experts in the different subject areas, one of four teachers, Ms. Venessa Deosaran, also added her views, and pointed out that many days the participating students came to classes on an empty stom-

ach, battled with their lack of resources, but remained committed nonetheless.

“They have accomplished so much, regardless,” she said.

Mr. Cecil Morris, who is also one of the project coordinators, added that the Society is now better placed to continue with the programme, having gone through the ‘teething-phase’ with the first batch of students.

He pointed out that this is another way in which the Society can, not only increase visibility for its cause, but at the same time increase the support it offers for persons with disabilities and enable them to make noteworthy contributions to society.

“If we have greater support, the sky is the limit,” he said.

NEXT STEP There are plans in the

pipelines for a rehabilitation of the High Street building, to ensure better classroom facilities.

The Guyana Society for the Blind team contends too that with the requisite funding, they will be able to advance decentralisation of the services currently being offered to benefit a wide cross section of visually impaired Guyanese.

Additionally, to date, 10 students have registered for the next 18-month undertaking with the hopes of sitting the 2014/2015 CSEC exams.

The Guyana Society f o r t h e B l i n d ’s C S E C programme was officially launched on January 7, 2013. The project had started with 15 students from Regions 3 and 4, but owing to circumstances and resources only 10 remain to write the examinations next month.

Region 1 REO deems Demerara Waves, Kaieteur News items malicious AS Regional Executive Officer of Region 1, Barima/Waini, I am expressing great concern and dismay over articles published on Inews and Demerara Waves on Tuesday 12 August, 2014. and in Kaieteur News on Wednesday, 13 August, 2014, with the following captions: “Bogus ‘Community Service Officers’ in Region 1 verifying voters list-officials” and “GECOM concerned about bogus employees operating in Region One”.

The articles cautioned members of the community of persons claiming to be employees of GECOM visiting homes in the Mabaruma and Port Kaituma areas with copies of extracts of the current Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), and a letter from the Regional Executive Officer authorising them to conduct a preliminary verification exercise.

I will like to inform the public that I am not aware of any group or groups of persons in Region 1 posing as Community Service Officers (CSO) operating under the pretense of GECOM representatives. I will like to verify that there are Community Service Officers in the region, but they come under the supervision of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs which means that neither I nor my office has any control over those groups.

I am greatly disappointed that GECOM did not seek to engage the administration in a discussion to clarify the authenticity of this allegation before fingering me in this malicious and deceitful act.

As Regional Executive Officer, I am peeved by the fact that my name has been forged by someone or groups of persons giving them authorisation to conduct preliminary election activity.

I strongly reprimand this act and deem it malicious.

Visually impaired CSEC top students say ‘sky is the limit’ –praise learning programme for giving them a chance at success

By Sandy Agasen THE Guyana Society for the Blind yesterday released the results of its first batch of students to have written

the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations; and the Guyana Chronicle caught up with their top three students, all of whom

noted that they intend to further their efforts for academic success, making it clear that the sky was the limit for their aspirations.

Top student 18-year-

old Rosemary Ramitt, who secured five grade one passes, said: “Everybody feels like they are on the moon, but I feel like I’m probably in some other galaxy.

Top student Rosemary Ramitt

“When the programme (got) started, I decided that I will do it because I have never written CXC before.

When I came here, we all pitched in and soon became a family. I thank my teachers, Ganesh, Mr. Morris and the ‘Blind Society’ for providing (me with) this opportunity. I accomplished five grade ones. When I heard this, I screamed. I thank everyone for their support.”

Ramitt added that she would next attend the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) to major in English at secondary level.

Coming in second place was 36-year-old Odessa Blair, who secured five grade two passes.

She said, “Right now I’m speechless, but I’m happy to achieve these grades through the ‘Society’. It has been very challenging, but I was successful. I thank the teachers, especially Ganesh and the Ministry of Education, for affording us this opportunity. I am happy for the other students as well.”

Blair added that she plans to attend the University of Guyana to pursue a degree in social work.

was third placed student, 20-year-old Vishal Mohabir, who secured three grade one, one grade two and one grade four passes. He said, “At first CXC was just a dream for me. I was struggling in school before because of my disability, so I was unable to finish. I thank the teacher at the ‘Society’, because of them CXC is now a reality for me. I urge and encourage everyone with a disability -- not just being blind, but any other disability -- to participate and view this, not to be the last, but as a stepping stone.

My next move will be to attend the University of Guyana to study Social Work.”

The overall pass rate of the 10 visually impaired students who took the CSEC exams this year is 82.4 per cent.

Woman suspected of dumping newborn amidst garbage rushed to NA Hospital

By Jeune Bailey A WOMAN suspected of being the mother of a sevenmonth male foetus that was found in a garbage heap, near Church’s Chicken at Corriverton, is currently receiving emergency care at the New Amsterdam Hospital.

The thirty-three-yearold woman was taken to the health institution on Monday afternoon and was subsequently rushed to the Oper-

ating Theatre.

When this reporter along with police visited the institution, hospital officials said the woman was “still in the theatre.” Sources said the patient was bleeding profusely when admitted.

However, other medical personnel said that if the foetus was indeed seven months, it could have survived with intervention from the new neonatal intensive care unit.

On Monday morning, just before 07:00hrs the remains of a partially bitten male foetus was discovered by the staff attached to Church’s Chicken restaurant at Corriverton, Corentyne.

The male foetus of East Indian descent was found in garbage just outside the business premises. Witnesses said the foetus had been bitten by rodents. In the meantime, investigations are continuing.

Murder accused escapee captured in Suriname appeals one-year sentence FOLLOWING his second appearance at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court, prison escapee Samuel Fable, alias John Fable and John Simpson, threw in the towel by pleading guilty to a charge of escaping from

lawful custody. He was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment by Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh.

However, shortly after the sentence was imposed Fable, who had been on the run for seven years, filed an ap-

peal challenging the sentence.

Particulars of the offence stated that on February 15, 2007 while being in the lawful custody of Police Corporal 13312 Blair, Fable escaped from his custody.

On the day in question, Fable was among three prisoners who were being transported from Whim Magistrate’s Court when they escaped from the enclosed police vehicle.

About 15:30hrs that day, in the vicinity of the New Amsterdam Technical Institute, Fable allegedly cut the lock from inside the vehicle and jumped out just after it had come off the Canje River Bridge.

On that day, police pursuing Fable, and his accomplices Deryck Busjit and Gavin Balkissoon, were prevented from opening fire on the escapees as students were being dismissed from a nearby primary school.

The men were seen briefly in the nearby Nurseville residential area, east of the Canje Bridge, but they subsequently fled up the Canje Creek.

Police had recovered footwear and clothing along the bank of the Canje River.

Meanwhile, the prisoner, whose addresses were given as Fyrish and Alness Villages on the Corentyne and Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, is also facing a murder charge which stemmed from the unlawful killing of Gangaram Busjit.

On June 21, last Fable, a fugitive living in Suriname, was captured by officers of the Surinamese police SWAT team. The ranks shot Fable in the leg after he had resisted arrest during a confrontation along the Anton Dragtenweg in Paramaribo.

The Guyanese national was being sought by the judicial authorities in Suriname for an alleged armed robbery.

Aries March 21 - April 19 Your energy is fiery and contagious -- so you should find almost everything you do becomes a source of inspiration. Anyone lucky enough to be by your side is treated to some thrilling adventures. Chores can wait until tomorrow, as for now you’re just better suited to tackling new activities. Your powers of persuasion are peaking, too, so speak up about whatever you really want.

Taurus April 20 - May 20 Extra planning pays off for you in a big way today. Though you’re tempted to rush -- or to simply leave things until the last possible moment and trust that things work out on their own -- applying your brains together with your intuition is the best approach. Write down a firm schedule for your domestic projects, or plan that upcoming date to the tiniest detail. The results should delight you.

Gemini May 21 - June 21 Your aspirations might just collide with reality in the best possible way today.

How can you smooth this process along? Make sure it’s all clear in your mind first. Write a list, read it out loud, get advice from a friend or colleague then make changes as necessary. You should have a better idea about precisely when to keep an eye out -- and how to position yourself in the right place at the right time.

Cancer June 22 - July 22 Your feelings are too easily bruised for the time being, but they’re also too easily enraged. It can be an interesting state of mind, but it’s not necessarily all that bad for you. Even if you should misunderstand someone and fly off the handle, blurting out exactly what you think is wrong, it can lead to newer, better lines of communication. Improved understanding of an important relationship should make your world a lot simpler.

Leo July 23 - August 22 Your inspiring energy, zippy approach to life and ability to spontaneously take on almost everything and everyone make you irresistible today. Everyone around you wants to know how you get so much out of life, and they should want to rub shoulders to get a taste of your amazingly positive attitude. Since you’re feeling frisky and maybe somewhat flirtatious, your mojo is making life even better for you!

Virgo August 23 - September 22 How do you want your life to be if all goes well? Knowing you, your answer could go on for quite a while, so just write down a few notes hitting the major points. Then consider how close to perfect things can possibly get -- it may be pretty close! Choose a few things from the list that you can bring to life right away and get to work. Even if they’re dead simple -- taking more long walks, catching up on your reading -- you should be perfectly happy.

Libra September 23 - October 22 Poring over old photo albums or scrapbooks is just what you need right now, and your sense of nostalgia is sweet. You could be inspired to reach out to old friends or family and reminisce. It doesn’t take too long to get to talking about what’s going on right now -- and maybe even making future plans. A visit or reunion may just the thing. You should gather strength from these old connections.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21 Your desires are usually pretty close to the surface of your mind, but don’t be too shocked if you’re feeling more selfless today. It’s a great time to start anything new. Maybe you want to finally start working for your favourite cause, or it could be that it’s time to try a new career path or reboot an important relationship.

Whatever you do, think it all through first, so you can keep it up!

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 There’s plenty of fun to be had today -- and maybe also the chance to work toward a higher purpose. A big group project, new activity or game could suit you perfectly, and also offer the possibility for mind-expansion. At the same time, you get to learn more about and get closer to your people while laughing like crazy. Get creative, and enjoy the good times that follow.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19 You can set some worries aside when it comes to an important relationship.

There’s just no point to worrying, and once you chill out, you can see the situation in a much clearer light -- and, weirdly, it may look much better than you had thought. If something has been delayed, it might be time to pick up where you left off -- or you could be able to reach a new, stabler understanding.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18 Going along with the crowd isn’t really how you operate, but if a spontaneous suggestion comes your way today -- a road trip, a gallery tour, a midnight movie -- you’re game for anything. If left on your own, you’d probably just spend the day lost in thought, but if you hook up with others (or at least one certain other), there’s plenty for you to experience -- and enjoy.

Pisces February 19 - March 20 You need to just go with the flow, because your energy is bringing new stuff your way in torrents. Make sure your all-powerful intuition is in good working order today, because there’s a heck of a lot to pick up on now. The more overt stuff -- so-called coincidences, weirdos both new to you and long-familiar, secret messages from odd sources -- is certainly coming your way too.

Taylor hopes Zimbabwe performance leads to more Tests

By Nick Said (HARARE Reuters) - After a year without test cricket, Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor praised his side’s competitiveness against topranked South Africa that suggests they deserve a greater share of the international calendar.

The Proteas claimed a nine-wicket victory on Tuesday as the shadows lengthened on day four of a one-off test match they never looked like losing, but were made to work harder than expected to beat a determined Zimbabwe side.

The credit for that should go to the home bowling attack and Taylor himself, not just for his innings of 93 on day one that deserved a hundred, but also the way he captained the side within the limitations of his resources.

“For guys that haven’t played a lot of cricket, we can be very proud of 80 percent of the cricket we played. I wanted to go five days,” he told reporters.

“I felt we were good enough to do that and if we had a better session after lunch (on day four) we might have done that.”

The Harare Sports Club curator produced a wicket that was perfectly suited to Zimbabwe’s bowling, turn on day one to assist the spinners and abrasive enough to slow down their moderately paced seam attack, making scoring difficult.

“Our seamers were exceptional. Tinashe (Panyan-

gara) didn’t get hit for a boundary in 30 overs in the first innings - that’s a huge plus. Tendai Chatara backed him up well and even Donald (Tiripano) bowled some really good deliveries,” he added.

“This will give them a lot of belief that they restricted two of the best batsmen in the world in AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla.”

D A U N T I N G ATTACK Taylor admits his side were daunted by the prospect of facing the Proteas’ lethal pace attack of Dale Steyn. Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander, but with a wicket intended to quell the threat, the batsmen coped better than expected.

“We were quite nervous in the beginning, to be honest with you, knowing that they were bringing their three-pronged pace attack,” he said.

“But I’m happy with the guys. They held their own. For three days we were competitive and we fought hard. It was never easy but it was manageable.”

Zimbabwe have no test matches scheduled at home in the near future but travel to Bangladesh for a three-match series starting on Oct. 26.

Perhaps that tour will be the true acid-test of this side’s potential and their place in the world game.

“Bangladesh will be slow and flat with turning wickets, so it won’t be too much different to what he had here. We know what to expect, if we get two good spinning options together, we can do well.”

The most pressing assignment for the side though, is a three-match one-day international series with South Africa in Bulawayo starting on Sunday, before Australia arrive for a triangular competition back in Harare starting on Aug. 25. (Reporting by Nick Said; Editing by John O’Brien)

Real reinforcements shine in Super Cup victory

By Mike Collett (Reuters) - Real Madrid ended a 12-year wait for a 10th European Cup win in May but it would be no surprise if their next title arrives just 12 months later based on their performance in the 2-0 victory over Sevilla in the European Super Cup on Tuesday.

Carlo Ancelotti’s expensively assembled team dominated the lively annual European club season curtain-raiser against the Europa League winners in Cardiff and could easily have won by more than the two excellent goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the Spanish League season starting on the weekend of Aug. 23-24, Ancelotti’s players have more than a week to hone their fitness and skill levels, to pose even more of a threat to both their domestic and European rivals.

Real go into the new season with an even stronger squad than the one that finished the last campaign when they won the Champions League and King’s Cup but finished third behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.

The squad has been bolstered by the arrivals of Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich, James Rodriguez from AS Monaco and goalkeeper Kayler Navas from Levante, an exciting trio of players who all shone at the World Cup. In total, Ancelotti has around $840 million worth of talent at his disposal and perhaps one of his main tasks this coming season, as well as winning as many matches as possible, is to keep such an array of star players happy.

A n c e l o t t i , h o w e v e r, seems totally at ease with the kind of problem that would cause plenty of headaches for most managers.

“We are capable of playing at a very high level this season, every player has a role to play.”

Among those with a key role is Gareth Bale, who along with Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Rodriguez formed part of a front four against Sevilla that cost around $453 million - the most expensive attacking quartet ever assembled.

RETURNING SON Bale had a night to remember by playing his first club match in his home city since October 2006 when he was in a Southampton side that lost 1-0 to Cardiff City at the now-demolished Ninian Park in a Championship match.

Since then, as well as becoming the world’s most expensive player, Bale has also

town,” Bale told reporters.

“It was great to be part of the team that won the Super Cup, it was quite surreal being back in Cardiff with Real, but the Welsh fans were brilliant, we played well and we deserved to win.”

Bale also provided a truly stupendous cross-field pass for Ronaldo’s opening goal after 30 minutes, and came close to scoring himself with almost the last kick of the game when Sevilla keeper Beto did well to save his powerful angled shot.

Ronaldo found the net for a second time four minutes into the second half with a left-footed strike that his Portugese international team mate got a hand to, but could not stop.

Bale said before the match he was pleased to no longer be “the new kid on the block” at Real following the

side.

“It is still early days but Kroos played very well tonight, it was tougher for James but he played his part too.”

Sevilla also played their part in an entertaining match but apart from the occasional foray forward, never seriously threatened to win the game.

Afterwards, coach Unai Emery confirmed young Spain defender Alberto Moreno was leaving for Liverpool but said he was pleased with the way his new arrivals played.

Grzegorz Krychowiak, who joined from Rennes, and Denis Suarez, on loan from Barcelona, showed enough grit and invention to suggest that Sevilla, fifth in La Liga last season, will be challenging for somewhat more modest prizes than their opponents in Cardiff.

Brilliant Russell...

From back page His 11 runs here was his highest score in four innings.

The Red Steel took a gamble with Nasir Jamshed who had not played since the Trinidad & Tobago side’s second match.

He replaced Javon Searles, but the change did not work as the Pakistani player pulled a ball from David Bernard in to the hands of Nkrumah Bonner on the square leg boundary. Just three balls later, Evin Lewis repeated the trick, departing in exactly the same fashion as his team mate.

Taylor and Bravo went about steadying the ship, and they took the score from 36 to 146. The partnership could have been broken with the score on 87 when Taylor skied a ball from Andre Russell, but Nikita Miller and Bernard collided as both went to take the catch. Neither man was hurt, but the chance was gone.

Taylor made the most of his luck as he went on to score 70 runs from just 44 balls in a partnership of over 100 runs with the younger Bravo brother. Taylor accelerated after the chance was put down, scoring another 43 runs off 17 balls to really make the Tallawahs pay for their poor fielding.

When Taylor fell slogging into the legside, it slowed things down again for the Red Steel. Darren Bravo went in the same over to leave two new batsmen at the crease for the last seven balls of the innings. It was therefore not surprising that they only managed a run a ball from that point until the end of the innings.

A middling score meant that the Red Steel bowlers would have their work cut

Kumar wishes...

the gap is very closer.”

Kumar recollected.

Guyana had finished third with 146 points at the IGG, which concluded two Sundays ago, when it was held here in Guyana. Guyana finished behind French Guiana which concluded with 200 points, Suriname topped with 208 points. Additionally, Guyana ended with 16 medals, which included four gold.

Kumar also noted, the Sports Commission and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport will do all that they can to assist the development of swimming in Guyana.

The Sports Commission will be assisting the team with transportation, providing the buses that will transport the team.

At the Goodwill Swim Meet, which begins tomorrow, Guyana will once again come up against swimmers from Suriname, in addition to

out, especially with Badree missing. They got off to the best possible start when Chris Gayle was dismissed LBW for just a single by Shannon Gabriel. The replays showed Gayle was unlucky to go as the ball had pitched outside leg stump.

The rate continued to rise as the Tallawahs also lost early wickets. After Gayle had gone, the Jamaicans lost the wickets of Chadwick Walton and Adam Voges, both men making single figures. As in the last match, Bonner was the only member of the top order who found a way to make a score of any substance.

The man who was picking up the other end was Sulieman Benn. He mixed his pace well and his three wickets were well deserved.

Bonner was run out for 39 and the game looked like it was over, although Andre Russell did not want to give up. He blasted the ball from the moment he arrived in the middle. He was particularly harsh on Jason Mohammed.

The off spinner was in the side as a replacement for Badree, but he could not come close to matching the man he was deputising for.

Russell went to his fifty with a shot that broke his bat, off just 22 deliveries. Russell rode his luck, but when Evin Lewis put him down in the 19th, it looked like it was the Jamaicans night.

In combination with Rusty Theron, he just refused to give up. Russell finished on 62 not out, but it was Theron who hit the winning runs, a flat six over extra cover that saw his side through to the second playoff game tonight against the Amazon Warriors..

From back page swimmers from Barbados and Trinidad.

Each country is allowed a maximum of 40 swimmers to participate at the event and over the years Guyana has always struggled to meet this number, while the other countries continue to field concentrated teams.

The Guyana team had been in training since earlier this year and is expected to at least churn out improved timings.

The team has been training under the watchful eyes of Cuban coach Isabel Couso Fals, and assistant coaches Paul Mahaica, and Jamie Skeete, all of whom will be travelling alongside the team.

Fals will also act in the capacity of female chaperone for the team along with Shaka Noel. The other officials travelling with the team are team manager Leon Seaton, and assistant Shefetah Tzedeq.

Suarez ‘an accident waiting to happen’, says Scudamore LONDON , (Reuters) - Barcelona forward Luis Suarez was an “accident waiting to happen” at former club Liverpool and the Premier League will be a better place without him, according to league chief Richard Scudamore.

Uruguay’s Suarez, who was suspended from all football-related activity for four months after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup, joined Barca in July for a fee put at 81 million euros (64.92 million pound) by local media.

His move from Liverpool follows a season where he finished as Premier League top scorer with 31 goals and won the English PFA and Football Writers’ player of the year awards.

But, having already served bans for two pre-

vious biting offences and another for racially abusing then-Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, Premier League chief executive Scudamore welcomed his exit from English soccer.

“I think probably the time had come,” Scudamore said of the 27-yearo l d f o r w a r d ’s m o v e , speaking at the launch of the new Premier League season yesterday.

“He’s a great player and I’m not taking anything away from his talents: he was voted by both his own players and the media last year the player of the year and deservedly so. “ H e ’s g r e a t t o h a v e but an accident waiting to happen, and if you spend your time trying to promote what’s good about the Premier League, you’re always waiting for the next

Premier League chief Richard Scudanore thing to come along.

“And this one in the summer, although it was with Uruguay, although it didn’t directly involve the Premier League, clearly it reflected on Liverpool as one of our great clubs and it reflected on us.

“He’s done his time here, but I can’t say I’m

South Africa learn valuable lessons from expected victory

By Nick Said HARARE (Reuters)-South Africa did not expect to learn much from their one-off Test against lowly Zimbabwe but Tuesday’s nine-wicket victory taught them two things - Hashim Amla is a natural-born leader and Dane Piedt has huge potential at international level.

Amla took over from retired Graeme Smith and led the team to a series victory in Sri Lanka last month. He was intelligent again in Harare in the way he utilised his bowlers and for an individual who had previously shunned leadership positions, he looked comfortable in the role.

“I have enjoyed it, even though we have not been able to play the attacking cricket we would have wanted to given the conditions in Sri Lanka and now here in Zimbabwe,” Amla told reporters yesterday.

“But we have played smart cricket to get the job done and that makes us look forward to tests to come.”

With success on their recent travels, it has been over eight years since South

Hashim Amla Africa last lost an away test series. Amla believes it is a record to be proud of but not one that should shape their thinking in matches.

“It’s a wonderful record to have, you want to hang on to records like that but also not be afraid to push for victories. We don’t want to make it such a factor that we change our decision-making in a game because of it.”

Piedt recorded match figures of eight for 152, the best ever by a South African spin bowler on test debut, and also became the 19th player to take a wicket with his first ball in test cricket.

Granted he was playing

on a helpful wicket against weak opposition, but the 24-year-old showed enough control and guile to suggest he could be the answer to the country’s spin woes.

“He bowled exceptionally well, it did turn and offer assistance but he stuck to good lines,” Amla said.

“I know as a youngster coming into the South African cricket team how difficult it can be but the enthusiasm he has shown in training and in matches has been great.”

The disappointment for Piedt, who was also part of the touring squad to Sri Lanka, is that the Proteas’ next Test is four months away at home to the West Indies.

“The last month and a half has been brilliant, being around such legends of the game has been great and it was a dream debut for me,” Piedt said.

“I told myself just to be patient and land the ball in the right areas.

“There was so much assistance that I did not need to use my variations, by top-spinner and cannonball, it was about being patient. Wickets are a reward for patience.”

sorry to see him go. I think it was good business on a number of levels from Liverpool to move Suarez on.”

Suarez has taken his appeal against his latest ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who will announce their decision on Thursday.

LOSING STARS Scudamore, 54, has been in charge of the Premier League for 15 years and has overseen a huge increase in the value of its television rights at home and abroad.

That money has helped to make the English top flight the most lucrative league in the world but, along with Suarez’s departure, England’s domestic game has seen top talents like Cesc Fabregas and Cristiano Ronaldo switch to Spain.

He says losing some of the world’s best players is an inevitability considering the financial might of Barcelona and Real Madrid but the Premier League can still prosper even without players of Suarez’s ability.

“We lost David Beckham as well, remember. We do often lose one or two,” said Scudamore.

“The truth of the matter is the Spanish system producing those two very wealthy clubs, because of the way they sell their individual television rights, have always had the economic power.

“It’s not just the way they sell their TV rights, it’s their political organisation and how they go about finding money they haven’t got.

“We’ve not always had the absolute top name at

any given time in world football, but we’ve got enough in the top 50 of the world’s best players.

“And we’ve certainly got eight of the world’s top 20 clubs, and that’s the most important thing for me - we’ve got 20 competitive clubs.

“Economically we’ve got 20 of the world’s top 50 clubs now... And that to me is more important in many ways, that the matches are competitive. “ We ’ v e g o t e n o u g h stars, and we don’t need absolutely every world mega star name to make this a successful league.”

The Premier League season starts with Louis van Gaal taking charge of his first competitive match as Manchester United manager against Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Another Goalless...

From page 30 How many executive meetings along with General Council Meetings in addition to Competitions have been held over the last 15 months? Are minutes of the respective meetings and competitions reports in the possession of the GFF? What about Audited Financial Statements? If, for some peculiar reason the situation does exist, in any association, the “riot act” should be read.

Finally, associations that are administered by IMC’s are referred to as provisional members, who cannot enjoy the same benefits and privileges as an affiliate. Simply put, associates/provisional members can deliberate at any Congress, but, the “right to vote” is non-existent! Further, to circumvent this ongoing scenario, why is it the subsequent minutes of a previous GFF General Council Meeting, outlining: Corrections, Omissions and Adoption was not produced last Saturday, to substantiate the claim by the Federation’s President that “such a situation previously had occurred during Klass’ presidency”, since at the end of the day “examples are always better then precepts”!

Meanwhile, were the two contentious issues pertaining to associations representatives deliberated upon, whereas affiliates of the UDFA and WDFA had submitted written letters of correspondence to that effect?

In the first instance, eight affiliates and three associates deliberated at a meeting and unanimously decided that Mr. Keneisha Dey and Mr. Patrice Bynoe are their legitimate representatives to attend the Congress.

Suffice it to say, the clubs are also objecting to the manner in which the duly elected executive of the UDFA was suspended, albeit, without observing “due process,

natural justice and constitutionality”.

Over on the West Demerara, the clubs objected to the non-representation of their Hon. Secretary at the Congress due to a purported suspension.

As a consequence it comes as no surprise that the administration of national football, is in such turmoil! That two decades of Klass’ stewardship; two years of Wilson’s Presidency (ag), under no given circumstance in excess of two decades was an executive ever reduced to two individuals, president and a committee member.

Compounded by the walkout of six GFF affiliates, representatives, and thereafter one Vice President and a Committee member followed, how could the GFF as an executive, devoid of a quorum, nominate/propose/ recommend an individual to fill a vacancy as a Vice President, in defiance of constitutionality, moreover, when the suspension of a Vice President was illegal? But with the “comedy of errors” continuing unabatedly in the continued mal-administration of the sport, a more perfect script could not have been written for the annual satire “Nothing to Laugh About”. Nothing tangible can be shown about moving their respective club from point A to B, much less their Association, with a few never functioning in that capacity before. By relevant comparison would a Pee-Wee (under-11) player be elevated automatically into a senior national team?

Did the re-convening of the Congress confirm with the stated agenda, as was indicated publicly with that of the previous one? If so, was the “vote of no confidence” still an item on the agenda? At what juncture was the filling of Vice-Presidents vacancies ratified?

Regional Under-19

Piers Morgan XI beat Brian Lara XI to win Beefy Bash Charity T20 PIERS Morgan was the unlikely hero as his side shocked a team captained

by West Indies legend, Brian Lara, to win the Beefy Bash charity Twenty20 match as part of the Limacol Caribbean Premier League in St Kitts.

(Scores: Piers Morgan XI (181/4) beat Brian Lara XI (177-7) by six wickets) In an entertaining match, organised by Sir Ian Botham and played in front of a capacity crowd at Warner Park, Morgan starred with bat and ball.

In what must surely be his greatest sporting achievement, the broadcaster dismissed double-world record holder Lara for a

duck, caught at mid-wicket.

As if that wasn’t enough, he then smashed the former West Indies captain for a six and a four in the final over of his side’s run chase to seal a thrilling victory, by six wickets, with one ball to spare.

The teams were formed of a mixture of cricketing legends such as Lara, Graeme Swann, Darren Gough, Ian Bishop, Tom Moody, Roger Harper and Matthew Maynard, celebrities Piers Morgan and Marcus Mumford, lead singer of folk-rock giants, Mumford and Sons, politicians, cricket administrators and local players. Fans were treated to spectacular entertainment and comedy, with

practical jokers Gough and Danny Morrison playing up to the crowd.

Former England spinner, Swann, playing for the first time since retiring from all cricket in the middle of last year’s Ashes series, performed well with both bat and ball for Team Lara, helping local batsman Shane Jeffers to add 100 for the sixth wicket, and drying up the runs when he bowled.

Britain’s Grammy award winner, Mumford, wasn’t so lucky, as his lively medium pace was dispatched to all parts of the ground.

At one point, he even resorted to pleading for mercy from Jeffers, but to no avail.

Former Glamorgan and England batsman, Matthew Maynard, coach of the St. Lucia Zouks in the CPL, rolled back the years for Team Morgan with some clean hitting, but when he was dismissed with a few overs remaining, the responsibility fell to Morgan and Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel coach, Simon Helmot to help his team get near the target.

Lara brought himself on to bowl for the final over, but Morgan was to be the star, sealing a Man of the Match performance with a boundary which sparked jubilant celebrations from the former newpsaper editor.

Under-19 wins for Windwards , Trinidad and Tobago

Results of the two other matches played in the 7th round of the Regional Under-19 One-Day Championship , yesterday: At Bourda, a valiant effort with the bat from Jamaica’s captain Ramaal Lewis was unable to avert a collapse as the Jamaicans crumbled for 141 all out in 45 overs against tight Windwards bowling.

Lewis, who came in at

number six batted through the rest of the innings to be undefeated on 49 with no other batsmen surpassing 11.

Ryan John and Craig Phillip were the architects of Jamaica’s demise with figures of 4 or 29 and 2 for 33 respectively.

Gidron Pope with a well played 75 and Anson Latchman 41 not out guided the Windwards safely to 142 for

1 in 38.4 overs.

Meantime half centuries from Camillo Carimbocas (60) and Brian Christmas (57) lifted Trinidad and Tobago to a five wicket win over Leeward Islands.

T and T, just below third placed Jamaica with 19.8 points in the standings, cruised to 256 for 5 in 40 overs with Amir Jangoo also contributing 44 after the

Leewards posted 250 for 8 in their 50 overs.

Kacey Carty struck the top score of 83 not out while Ross Powell added 53 but the Leewards were restricted from consolidating against and T and T attack which saw Tevin Jadoo 3-42, Akil Seetal 2-39 and Justin Joseph 2-60, emerging as the main wicket takers.

Murray, Findlay praise Lloyd appointment PORT of Spain, Trinidad - Former West Indies cricketers Deryck Murray and Michael Findlay welcomed the move by the West Indies Cricket Board to appoint former captain Clive Lloyd to the post of chairman of selectors but both insisted Lloyd’s appointment alone will not be enough to take West Indies cricket back to the top of world cricket.

“I welcome the move but I think the public needs to have a little bit of patience,” Murray told the Express yesterday.

“I hope that he will focus a lot more on the development of our young players.

Although his role is to select the West Indies international team from the present crop, to me the future well-being of West Indies cricket is in our youth policy and how we impart the fundamentals of the game to our youth cricketers,” the former West Indies wicketkeeper explained.

Clive Lloyd Murray also noted the changes to the selection panel was a good move and a step in the right direction. However, he said the future of the game does not only depend on selecting a team but on preparing future players for the international arena.

“There needs to be other measures to move West Indies cricket forward. If we are to get back to number one or two, that is not an overnight process. That involves polices that have to be put in place and resources

that have to be properly distributed, and those resources are not purely financial, but actual persons you put to look after the players and to coach and mentor our young players,” he added.

Findlay also sees it as a positive move noting that Lloyd brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the post.

“I think with his experience, his quality of leadership and his exposure to cricket at all levels, he will bring to the selection committee that kind of thinking that is needed at this stage in West Indies cricket,” said Findlay.

“People must understand that changes to the selection committee will not necessarily bring about changes to the fortunes of West Indies cricket immediately because Clive Lloyd will have the same panel of player to select from. The problem in West Indies cricket is much deeper

than that,” he added.

Findlay said the problem facing the selectors was that the standard of West Indies domestic cricket is very low and that has to improve in order for the regional side to improve.

“The WICB is moving forward with changes to the domestic competition and that is a good innovation to bring in players from other territories and international players. That is a good move if raises the standard of cricket being played,” said Findlay.

“We have to lift the standard of our domestic cricket so we can compete adequately with the cricketers at the international level.

Exposure at Commonwealth Games was good for athletes – says GOA boss

By Tamica Garnett Performances by the likes of Nicolette Fernandes, Winston George, and the female table tennis team were just a few of the outstanding displays by the Guyana team at the Commonwealth Games that made President of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), K Juman Yassin, satisfied with Guyana’s attendance at the Games.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday afternoon at Olympic House, Yassin noted that the team set out with the main aim of giving exposure to athletes, aspiring to have the athletes at least improve their skill, and for some of the athletes he believed this was attained.

“We may not have won any medals but at the end of the day the Guyana flag was displayed at the Commonwealth Games and that is something to be proud of. We need to give our athletes as much exposure as possible and I think we did that,.” Yassin remarked.

Guyana had fielded a 39 man team to the recently concluded Games which ran from July 23 – August 4.

Guyana participated in sev-

press briefing, as they reported on the level of satisfaction of the respective athletes’ performance at this year’s attendance.

en of the eighteen sporting disciplines in which events were contested at the Games.

Guyana participated in athletics, boxing, cycling, rifle shooting, squash, swimming, and table tennis.

A number of representatives from the different sporting disciplines were also present at yesterday’s

In his address, Yassin emphasised that he was particularly moved by the performance showcased by Nicolette Fernandes, when she took on World women’s number two, Laura Marasso, in her round of 16 matches in the women’s singles in squash.

“For me the best part

that game, because of how well she played,” Juman commented.

Fernandes, ranked 19th in the world, took on Marasso and went down 1 – 3 in a hefty battle. Other notable performance was that of George, who made it into the semi-finals of both the men’s 400m and 200m events.

In the table tennis arena, Guyana’s women’s team of Chelsea Edghill, Trenace Lowe and Natalie Cummings did their country proud after their determination and skills saw them toppling the higher ranked Scotland team in the women’s team competition. Meanwhile on the men’s side things were not as bright, and there was mention of the need for some players to hang up their racquets.

For the cyclists and rifle shooters the weather was noted as an impeding factor.

For cycling it was the cold atmosphere and the rain. Additionally, there was the incident of one of the cyclists, who fell down which greatly affected the other cyclists who had stopped to check on their colleague.

The rifle shooters were commended for having to battle against adverse conditions that included harsh winds and a fog that descended upon the venue.

Touching on boxing, Yassin noted that he was not particular pleased with the

performances of the boxers but Eon Bancroft was an exception. Bancroft made it into the quarter finals, but his height, or lack thereof, was pointed out as one of the contributing factors that lead to his lost against Tulani Mbenge.

Though the South African towered over Bancroft, Yassin and the boxing team coach, Terrence Poole, affirmed that Bancroft put up a worthy fight against his opponent.

In swimming Guyana had one lone swimmer, Onika George, who attended alongside her coach Sean Baksh.

Baksh, who was present at yesterday’s press conference, noted that 16 year old George performed reasonably managing to perform close to her seed time in her events.

With the Commonwealth Games out of the way the GOA now has its sights set on performing at least credibly at the currently ongoing Pan American Sports Festival in Mexico, which began last month and ends in September.

(Letter to the Sports Editor) The decision of six legitimate affiliates of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) namely: Georgetown Football Association, East Demerara Football Association, East Bank Football Association, Guyana Football Coaches Association, National Women’s Football Association and the Guyana Football Referees Council to walk out of the reconvened Ordinary Congress of the GFF, held on Saturday August 9 at the Regency Hotel, was justifiable. And in the process, they utilised their vested constitutional powers to nullify the implementation of unconstitutional and undemocratic measures that would have enabled “provisional members” in the Upper Demerara Football Association, Bartica Football Association and

the Essequibo/Pomeroon Football Association “Voting Rights”.

Editor, apart from being unconstitutional, it remains a clear indication of downright dishonesty on the part of the GFF’s President to mislead the public that “associate members of FIFA voted at the recently concluded Congress in Brazil”.

As I used to advocate at General Council Meetings of the GFF, more than a decade ago, “Kindly produce one iota of circumstantial and supportive evidence in writing”, why the constitutional articulation as it relates to “Loss of Membership” have not been successfully and rightfully applied, i.e. Berbice Football Association.

Caribbean Women’s cricket, Jamaica, nailed their fifth Regional Women’s Super50 title by blowing Guyana by 218 runs in the final of the tournament at Windsor Park yesterday.

While Guyana finished as runners-up in the competition, Trinidad & Tobago placed third, defeating Barbados at Botanical Gardens.

It brought an exciting tournament to an end in quite entertaining fashion.

FINAL (JAMAICA v GUYANA): Natasha McLean did it with the bat and Vanessa Watts did it with the ball as Jamaica rose to their best to take the 2014 edition of the Regional Women’s Super50. McLean fell just short of a century while Watts took a five-for.

After being put into bat first, Jamaica put up a mammoth 309/7 from their 50 overs. The Jamaican openers put on an opening stand of 51 runs but quickly slipped to 83/2. It was at

partnership.

McLean struck 96 runs from just 94 balls, hammering eight fours and as many sixes along the way.

Through her and Henry, Jamaica had recovered from a slow start. At the other end, Henry scored 85 runs from 87 balls, hitting 12 fours during her stay at the crease. Hasena Mohammed, Phaffiana Millington and Akaze Thompson all took two wickets each.

Guyana struggled in their chase being reduced to 36/3 just after the 15-over mark.

In addition to their scoring rate being slow, they continuously lost wickets along the way. Watts was the main destroyer that ripped through the Guyanese batting line-up.

She would finish with 5-21 as Guyana were bowled out for 91 runs in 32.4 overs.

Jamaica won by 218 runs, claiming and defending their Regional Women’s Super50 crown.

Hetmyer and Chanderpaul hit tons as Guyana finish unbeaten -To play Windward in under-19 final tomorrow

By Calvin Roberts FIRST CLASS openers Shimron Hetmyer and Tagenarine Chanderpaul both struck final round centuries against Barbados at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence yesterday, as points leaders Guyana defeated Barbados by 44 runs to end the preliminary round unbeaten.

Hetmyer blasted 18 fours in his 102 *balls 123 while Chanderpaul had eight fours and one six in his unbeaten 103 that took him 150 balls to accumulate, as Guyana scored an imposing 298 for 5 to which Barbados replied with 254. Skipper Joshua Drakes hitting eight fours and one six in his 99 balls 75 and Lee-Germon Gaskin 69 (100balls, 4x4) for the Bajans.

After posting his ton, Hetmyer struck Matthew Jones for a hattrick of fours in the 30th over, before he was bowled looking for another boundary at 176 for 1, with his contribution being

as he added 81 for the second wicket with Sattaur whose 38 came off 36 balls and was decorated with four fours and one six.

Kemo Paul struck two sixes and one four in his quick-fire 19 while Chanderpaul got his ton off 148

Shimron Hetmyer struck 18 fours in his 102 balls 123 der-19 and first class openers posted 176 for the first wicket, during which time, Hetmyer struck Shamar Springer for back to back boundaries on the way to posting his third successive half century from 53 balls with seven fours.

They got Guyana’s 100 from 20.3 overs, with Hetmyer on 70 and Chanderpaul 25, while Chanderpaul opened his shoulders to hit Chad Williams over extra

cover for his third four, even as Hetmyer struck Chad Williams for a hat trick of fours in the 24th over to move to 86, as Guyana progressed to 125 without loss.

Dutifully, Hetmyer got to his century after missing out on the landmark in Guyana’s last two matches.

The young opener faced 93 balls, hitting 14 fours, even as his team progressed to 153 without loss in the 28th over, with Chanderpaul’s

Tagenarine Chanderpaul hit eight fours and one six in his unbeaten 103 123 scored off 102 balls with 18 fours, with Chanderpaul on 46.

Chanderpaul reached his 50 from 81 balls with four fours, while Guyana got their 200 from 35.4 overs,

balls with eight fours and one six, before Guyana ended on 298 for 5 with Drakes taking 2 for 22 for Barbados, who were asked to chase the highest total posted in this year’s tour-

CASA senior team leaves tomorrow, to compete without Fernandes Guyana’s national senior squash team will be without the skills of women’s world ranked number 19, Nicolette Fernandes, when they leave for Barbados tomorrow, where they are scheduled to participate at the Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA) Senior Championships which begins this Saturday.

The team, which will see the return of Australian-based Guyanese Sunil Seth, will comprise six persons each on the men’s and women’s team, while the vets team will include 2013 Caribbean Over 50 Champion Brendon Mounter, Ramon Chan A Sue and Dennis Dias.

The women’s team will be lead by 2014 National Champion Mary Fung A Fat and includes Ashley De Groot, Akeila Wiltshire, Larissa Wiltshire, Victoria Arjoon and Tiffany Soloman.

Meanwhile, in addition to Seth the men’s team also includes national Champion Alex Arjoon, former Caribbean Champion Richard Chin, Jason Ray Khalil, Robert Mc David and Nicholas Narain.

Fernandes, the defending cham-

Nicolette Fernandes

pion of the women’s title, will miss the event as she has to play a mandatory World Squash Association event in Hong Kong. Additionally, the team will go without Ashley Khalil who is unavailable.

This no doubt produces a good opportunity for four time junior champion Fung-A-Fat to take her first Caribbean senior title, though she will definitely receive quite the fight from Arjoon and the Wiltshire sisters.

Finishing as runner up in the men’s singles, Seth will be given the opportunity to show what his exposure at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games has done to improve his game.

The same goes for Arjoon who also attended the Games alongside Seth.

Manager of the team is former Caribbean over 40 Champion Alwyn Callender.

Guyana will be defending the men’s, women’s and overall team titles which they had won when the competition was held in Guyana last year.

nament.

In their reply, the Barbadians quickly lost Nicholas Kirton 10 (2x4) to be 25 for 1 in the sixth over, while two fours from Drakes off Ramcharran and another by Akil Greenidge off the same bowler in an over that cost Guyana 13 runs, pushed the score to 49 for 1.

They got their 50 from 7.3 overs, but soon lost Akil Greenidge lbw to Paul for 10 at 58 for 2, while Drakes got his maiden half century for this tournament off 63 balls with five fours before he was bowled behind his legs sweeping by Steven Sankar for 75 (99balls, 7x4, 1x6) at 139 for 3.

After seeing Gaskin reaching his 50 from 80 balls with four fours, Barbados folded to the spin of Ramcharran (4 for ) and Sankar (3 for 51) for their eventual total as the Guyanese marched into tomorrow’s final, where they face Windward Islands at the Everest Cricket Club ground.

Cadogan overcomes Miller at Carebaco GUYANA’s Abosaide Cadogan made her way out of the Under13 girls quarter finals after overcoming Kayla Miller when matches in the Caribbean Regional Badminton Championships (Carebaco) continued on Tuesday in Kingston, Jamaica.

Cadogan defeated the Barbadian 27 – 25, 21 – 13, to register Guyana’s only win of the day as Ambika Ramraj and Christopher Persaud both suffered losses.

Teaming up with Trinidadian Brittney Mohamed, Ramraj contested the under-17 girls doubles quarter finals and lost 21 – 13, 21 – 23, 21 – 16 against Renales and Ralitsa Wong both of Trinidad.

It was in the men’s singles that Persaud went down 9 – 21, 13 – 21 against Jamaica’s Shaquille Palmer.

Meanwhile, even better fortune for the team was expected yesterday, when Guyana had players competing in four different quarter finals.

Priyanna Ramdhani was set to perform in an under 13 mixed doubles quarter finals, while Narayan Ramdhani had a packed day participating in the Under 17 boys singles quarter finals, as well as teaming up with Ramraj to take on the mixed doubles quarter finals, then partnering with Persaud to be out in the men’s doubles quarter finals.

Brilliant Russell blasts Tallawahs to second CPL play-off ..face Guyana Amazon Warriors today A brilliant late order batting performance from Andre Russell secured victory for the Jamaica Tallawahs in the first play-off in this year’s Limacol Caribbean Premier League.

It looked as if the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel had done enough to win this game, but Russell’s arrival at the crease changed all of that.

The Tallawahs were five wickets down and needing 12 runs an over when Russell came in to bat. Thanks to his efforts, the Jamaicans won the game with two balls to spare.

A fantastic innings from Ross Taylor meant that the Red Steel had a decent total,

but with Samuel Badree ruled out with injury, they would have to defend it without their best bowler. Taylor was well supported by Darren Bravo, and they would have won easily if it had not been for the Russell fireworks.

The Red Steel innings began slowly as three wickets inside the Powerplay left them struggling for momentum.

Kevin O Brien was the first man to go, edging the ball to first slip . After an excellent run of form in the middle of the tournament, the Irishman has struggled.

Kumar wishes Goodwill Swim Team well

- swimmers leave for Suriname today

By Tamica Garnett THE Guyana swimming team which departs today for the Goodwill Swim Meet in Suriname was yesterday given a warm send off

by Director of Sport, Neil Kumar, who took the time to congratulate the junior athletes on the developments that swimming, in Guyana, has made over the past few years.

The Guyana contingent, which includes some 29 swimmers, gathered in the

boardroom of the National Sports Commission office on Middle Street yesterday, as Kumar bade the swimmers to be good ambassadors and reminded the swimmers of how far swimming in Guyana has come, while emphasising how far it still has to go.

“Swimming has become more competitive more recently, and when I see how good you are, how competitive you’ve become I feel very good, I want to congratulate you. Even still swimming must come better,” Kumar said.

Director of Sport, Neil Kumar, poses with swimmers yesterday in the NSC Boardroom, to extreme right is GASA president, Ivan Persaud.

Kumar gave a brief history of how far the fraternity has come and the kind of development that has occurred over the years, since he took over as Director of Sport many years ago.

Citing Guyana’s most recent performance at the Inter-Guiana Games, where the Guyana team took on teams from Suriname and French Guiana, Kumar noted how happy he is that though Guyana still brought
