Chile to open embassy in Guyana -new ambassador presents credentials NON-RESIDENT Chilean Ambassador, Fernando Scmith, presented his Letters of Credence to President Donald Ramotar yesterday at the Presidential Complex. His appointment was welcomed by the President who noted Chile’s stance on democracy and human rights. The decision of the South American nation to establish an embassy locally was also welcomed by President Ramotar, who noted that since the establishment of formal ties in 1971, relations have al-

ways been warm and cordial. The fact that both countries recognise the value of “South South” cooperation was noted by the President. “Our two countries are also as one with respect to firm adherence to the value of democracy, respect for human rights, the rule of law and the sanctity of treaties.” Given the shared positions and interest of the two countries, President Ramotar added that together, much more can be done towards achiev-

ing an “enduring dynamic partnership.” The decision of his Government to open its first embassy locally was described as a turning point in relations between the two nations by Chile’s new ambassador. This is consistent with his country’s pro-active approach to enhancing its ties throughout the Region, as he cited an “Open skies” agreement and a memorandum of understanding in mining, two of several areas being worked on.

He also made mention of the forum organised by the Chilean Cooperation Agency, intended to promote SouthSouth ties. Ambassador Scmith said that given the possibility that he may be the last non-resident ambassador from Chile, “speaks categorically about the will of my country and government to upgrade the level of exchange between us to benefit a more coherent and united continent.” (GINA)

Education, human capital crucial to national development … President Ramotar as he launches $10,000 education grant

IF ever a nation will grow, it must think long-term and focus on education and human capital. This is really the recurring focus for the PPP/C Administration, and it goes back to 1992, when the nation vested power in this incumbent. This twin-point was explained by President Donald Ramotar, who launched the $10,000 education grant on October 11 in Bartica, where the gratitude of the recipients was quite visible - smiles, and many words of support for the PPP/C. It should be noted that this grant is not a sporadic, knee-jerk reaction from the PPP/C. It accompanies a host of other inputs in Guyana’s school children---the uniform voucher, the school feeding programme for some areas, the Hinterland Scholarship Programme and building and refurbishing over 1,000 schools. These investments stem from provision made in Budget 2014 for some 188,406 families, at a hefty cost of a $2B. This ongoing venture is meant to provide more support to parents with school aged, and increase their disposable income as well. The overall objective is to raise enrollment number and attendance rates. The $10,000 grant is testimony yet again to the seriousness of the Government where education and human capital are concerned. “… education is important, not only in itself, but it underpins every other sector of our society … so this programme that we doing here, we hope that it will help you to ensure that the kids stay in school, that they study and do not come out of school until they have a secondary education, so that they can take advantage of other Government

programmes like scholarships to the University of Guyana and further, so that they can lift their development and make a greater contribution to the development of our society,” the President urged. People still remember past times when education was not a priority. In fact, the PPP/C started in 1992, with a jump of eight percent of the National Budget going to the social sector, and at that time it was a very small budget. Now, Guyana has far bigger and more expansive budgets, where more than 30 percent is dedicated to the social sector and where education gets the largest of this allocation. The rewarding thing is that all of this hard work and monetary inputs are paying massive dividends. Locally, the traditional schools of success have to now compete for top honours with places like Anna Regina and Line Path Secondary Schools. Also, at the Regional/Caribbean level, Guyana’s dominance is well documented having copped five out of eight top Regional CSEC spots in 2013. What must not be forgotten is the fact that Guyana is riding a high in education right alongside some major movements in the world, namely the rise in advocacy for females to be educated. In this light, it is quite fitting that the Nobel Prize for Peace was just deservedly bestowed upon a ‘still’ secondary school student, Malala Yusufzai from Pakistan. She is the young lady, who stood up against terrorism where education is concerned. She was almost killed in her homeland by terrorist sub-planters, who shot her in a bus at point blank rage. So with success stories of

Guyana’s children, there is the belief that students here can and will make significant contributions to Guyana’s development, and that of the world by extension. The Head of State explained that if any more evidence is needed of the deep

President Donald Ramotar philosophical belief of the PPP/Civic Government of the importance of human resources, then the education grant is another demonstration of this idealistic underpinning of the Administration. The Bartica occasion also

brought out a most telling point from the President. He tied education, human capital and natural resources with a single string. This kind of thinking is most vital if Guyana is to move from the status of ‘developing’ to fully ‘developed’ in terms of how nations are ranked. The President said, “If we look around the world and look at countries that have prospered and countries that have been left behind, you would find that there are countries with enormous natural resources that still have unbelievable poverty and there are others with very little resources and they are prospering. And the reason is the investment that we put in our people. And that is why from the very beginning, we have been investing heavily in our people.” “When we got into office, only about 30 percent of children leaving primary school went into secondary schools. Most of our children had to fail at their exams, at the end of their primary education, not because they were dunces; they had to fail because there was no provision for them in secondary

schools at that time.” The achievement of universal primary education and close to achieving universal secondary education are important for the future of the country, as both levels are the foundation of the people. “It’s as if you are building a structure – you have to put a solid foundation on the ground to hold up the infrastructure, to hold up the superstructure that you will put on this base, and primary and secondary education offer that grounding, so that our children can aim not only to remain at that level, but they can go on to tertiary education at different levels in our society; and this Government is ensuring that not only children on the coastland will have that opportunity, but in the interior also.” The Administration has built secondary schools in the interior areas with dormitories; and provides not only all the text books, but three

meals a day so that parents will have no excuse to keep their children at home. “Because if we speak about developing the interior of our country, which everyone says is important for the prosperity of Guyana, we have to have the human capital, we have to have the people capable of developing them and therefore these investments are important. Today you can go to the top of the mountain in Paramakatoi and find 700 students at secondary school, able to write the CXC exams, or you can go to the riverine area of Waramadong in this very region and you will find another secondary school with 700 students.” Thus far the process of rebuilding has been great; it promises to get better. Why? The Government’s vision is that tomorrow’s success and prosperity are hinged upon Guyana’s children and their education. (GINA)

Yet another suicide Child’s negative HIV test no yardstick rocks Essequibo to determine suspect’s innocence Coast -as father of five hangs self - Ann Green Stepfather in custody, Impregnated 12 year old…

Rajendra Prabhulall

child recants allegation against him By Leroy Smith THE man who allegedly has impregnated his 12-year-old step-daughter is claiming in some sections of the media that he is HIV positive; and that the child’s negative HIV test exonerates him. Director of the Child Care &Protection Agency (CCPA), Ann Green, has however, strongly refuted this. Speaking with this newspaper yesterday morning the Child Care Director confirmed that the suspect was at her office and he has since been handed over to the police. Green reminded this reporter that there is an incubation period to determine if someone has contracted HIV; and if the girl is not HIV positive at this stage, that does not mean that she has not been infected. Green said that the department has no option at this stage but to believe the story of the young lady, until such time that evidence is provided to prove otherwise. She said the child recalled travelling to the city where she came to visit her mother and a young baby; and while her mother was out, the man whom she described as her stepfather entered the room and raped her. According to the young lady’s story to the agency, she

was afraid of the man and did not report the matter to anyone and by the time she travelled back to the interior location where she originally resides, her belly began to rise. “Enough is enough in this country, we cannot have people raping and sexing children and walk with impunity; it is wrong, it is against the law, we have laws and we will get to the bottom of this story. The things she is saying are making sense,” Green told the Guyana Chronicle in a telephone interview. This newspaper was told that based on the information which the department has received, the mother tried to shield the suspect by claiming that the child had got pregnant for a young man in the interior area of Lethem Region 9, this, despite the claims of the child to her mother and other relatives that it was her stepfather who interfered with her. The mother told officials of the CC&PA that after the child began to show signs of pregnancy, the matter was reported to the police at the interior location; but yesterday police sources could not find any evidence that the woman had reported the matter. “This thing is becoming disgusting; we have to listen to the child that is our job we

cannot ignore her. Someone has to take responsibility for what has happened,” Green went on to relate to the Chronicle during her interview. Green said that if the window period passes and it is found that the child is HIV positive, it would be double jeopardy for her and that is a very sad situation to think about. She reminded this reporter that in rape cases it is possible for the accused to be granted bail, but that is at the discretion of the magistrate, who would have to take several factors into consideration. Green spoke of the possibility of the suspect intimidating the victim, among some of the considerations. Yesterday Crime Chief, Leslie James confirmed that the stepfather of the child is indeed in custody and attempts were being made to have him questioned. The Crime Chief also reported to this publication that based on his last update of the matter on Tuesday afternoon, the child who had initially indicated that she had been impregnated by her stepfather, began recanting her claims. According to the Crime Chief, when victims of such crimes recant their initial stories, the work of the police and all other agencies involved become extra difficult.

A FORTY-NINE-YEAROLD contractor, Chandardeo Persaud of School Street, Affiance Village on the Essequibo Coast, ended his life around 05:00hrs on Tuesday morning. According to reports, the father of five children who worked as a contractor with the Regional Admin-

istration at Anna Regina, was found by one of his sons hanging lifelessly by his neck from a wire in the bottom flat of their house. Reports state that the contractor, who was experiencing domestic problems with his wife, was scheduled to appear in the Anna Regina Magistrate court on Tuesday. Reports said Persaud probably became fed up with

life amid domestic problems, the court matter and financial bankruptcy. Persaud had reportedly owed money to a number of persons and businesses. Only last week another young man of Devonshire Castle Back Street committed suicide by ingesting a poisonous substance used for spraying and killing grass.

Man converted chainsaw to own use, because employer owed him wages By Jeune Vankeric THIRTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD, Orin Chisolm allegedly fraudulently converted to his own use, a Stihl chainsaw, after telling investigators that his employer owed him wages. The operator of Glasgow Village, East Bank Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus and pleaded not guilty to the charge. He was granted $70,000 bail and is expected to return to the New Amsterdam Court on October 31, for statements. On April 28 last, Sahadeo Budram entrusted the Stihl chainsaw, valued $338,868 to the defendant, his employee, who was expected to use the tool in the Berbice River, and return with the proceeds. However, Chisolm allegedly used the chainsaw but did not return with any money. He reportedly told investigators that Budram had owed him monies for services offered, but the sum remained outstanding. As a result, he took the proceeds emanating from the use of the chainsaw to compensate for his loss.

Border security critical - Griffith

…arrival of latest batch of trainees from Nigeria delayed MINISTER of National Security Gary Griffith Tuesday confirmed T&T was officially monitoring migrants from African countries as the country prepared itself in the face of the growing global threat of Ebola. Employers of migrant workers, particularly illegals, should also ensure their employees’ health statuses were safe as T&T bid to secure borders from the deadly virus, Griffith said. The National Energy Skills Centre already, on Health sector advice, has postponed the arrival of the latest batch of train-

ees from Nigeria due to the threat. Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan is liaising with Living Water, which handles people from all parts of the world seeking asylum in T&T, to ensure that avenue is also protected. Following 8,914 cases and 4,000-plus Ebola deaths in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria, one in the U.S., where a Liberian national died, and isolated cases in Spain and Germany, World Health Organisation assistant Director-General Dr Bruce Aylward yesterday revealed the Ebola death rate had risen to 70 per cent. He said there could be up to

10,000 new cases a week in two months. Aylward said if the world’s response to the crisis was not stepped up within 60 days, “a lot more people will die” and there will be great need to deal with spiraling numbers of cases. The Ivory Coast was also said to be threatened, he added. Yesterday, Griffith said the Immigration Division would be seeking to adhere to regulations to ensure T&T’s interests were protected. He said he was also liaising with Immigration on confirmation of statements by U.S. Marine Corps General John Kelly (U.S. Southern

Command) that people from Liberia had passed through T&T last month while attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. Kelly was discussing trans-national criminal networks smuggling people who could be carrying Ebola at a National Defence University forum last month when he made the claim. Kelly said a group of people from Libera who were found on the Costa Rica border waiting to head north, had said they “met up with the network in T&T” and were en route to the U.S. Kelly said there was no way to keep Ebola contained in West Africa.

Griffith said he had, therefore, taken a strong approach concerning migration to T&T in order to deal with various challenges posed by global security concerns on the Ebola issue, as well as terrorism, both of which posed challenges where border infiltration was concerned. He said: “It involves movement of persons from the Caribbean, globally as well as vice-versa, and where Ebola is concerned, possible exposure to the virus. This is very serious and not a matter of profiling anyone. “As a result of movement, the immigration aspect is even more important now -

and cannot be a rubber stamp - since persons entering T&T legally or illegally can be a liability, not only where health issues are concerned but also other areas.” Griffith said there was also a problem with migrant workers, especially from Africa, and due to concerns about Ebola, local employers may need to monitor those they sponsored for work - or those who work for them temporarily - on possible movements back and forth from T&T to any overseas territories, particularly western Africa where the virus had claimed the most lives.

Fuad: Nobody treated for Ebola in PoS

(Trinidad Express) RUMOURS were circulating Tuesday that Africans who had contracted Ebola had sought treatment at Port of Spain General Hospital, but Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan dismissed these “as baseless and unfounded.” But he said immigration officers have begun screening for Ebola at Piarco International Airport and ANR Robinson International Airport at Crown Point, Tobago. Khan said he also met

with key technocrats from the ministry to discuss screening, procurement of hazmat suits and the establishment of an isolation centre at Caura Hospital in East Trinidad. The meeting took place at the Ministry of Health, Park Street, Port of Spain. Among those present were principal medical officer of environmental health Dr Clive Tilluckdharry and chief medical officer Dr Colin Furlonge. In a telephone interview, Khan said: “We have no Eb-

…Health Minister shoots down hospital rumours

ola, but screening at immigration has started already. It is not just walking through and getting the temperature taken.” “The procurement movement will be done as emergency. It has to be soon.” On Monday, Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) director Dr James Hospedales said: “There is no Ebola in the Caribbean,

including Trinidad and Tobago. We have to maintain a high level of preparedness and make sure all measures are in place which meet with the conditions of the international health regulations.” Last week, a senior immigration official said they met with Furlonge and Tilluckdharry. They were told they would be given cards for travellers to fill out, but they are

still awaiting clear instructions and a briefing on standard operating procedures should they interview someone who has contracted Ebola. The immigration official said: “We don’t have any equipment to screen. Even if we had it, we don’t know how to use it. We were told they would be given a card to fill out. “We don’t have any in-

structions on what to do if a person came in from Liberia. There are no standard operating procedures. We don’t know which countries have been classified as a ‘hot spot’. We have no clear instructions on what to do. We don’t have any real procedure in place to be implemented if a person who has contracted Ebola comes through.”

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

Child molesters are monsters who prey on innocents MANY persons who were molested in their childhood days, who subsequently, upon attaining maturity seek redress for the wrongs committed on them, are often reviled and castigated, even by family members; especially if the perpetrator is a public figure. And the authorities, even those who pretend to champion the victim when it suits their purposes and agendas, often throw all their support behind the offender. One primary case in point is a pedophile who; while pretending to help single mothers, prey on their children – sometimes as young as eight years old, and even younger. This person is a past presidential candidate who, whenever the victim reaches adulthood and seeks justice, cries victimisation by the Government. There is a serious warning posted in Albouystown ‘No bail for child molesters,’ and perpetrators can expect no mercy in that community, because many times the justice system abysmally fails the victims. Indeed, there should be no bail for child molesters. However, for whatever reason, incidents of child molestation and rape are increasing rather than decreasing

because of the laxity of law enforcement officials, despite the severe and punitive legislation enacted through the militancy of former Human Services and Social Security, and current Education Minister, Priya Manickchand. The law enforcement and justice systems are failing a number of victims, and a primary case that comes to mind is one in which a young girl was drugged, taken to a house, and had all sorts of atrocities committed on her before being locked in by the high-profile perpetrator and his girlfriend. The naked victim climbed through a window where she hung precariously before being spotted by a passerby and was rescued. What ensued was a highly-publicised case of abduction, rape, and sodomy. However, mere months after, that perpetrator, who has a very powerful father and is distinguishable in public on his own account, was hosting public events and is walking free to this day. The authorities don’t seem to even care about the anguish and grave distress of the victims and their families. What happens more as a norm rather than an exception is that the law enforcers seem not to care about the poor, powerless, voiceless and vulnerable. It is felt that the powerful and monied can easily purchase and subvert justice in this country; and

the jail proliferates with many innocent victims while many real criminals walk the streets, free to continue the depredations on the real victims of society. Another aspect of sexual molestation that has intermittently surfaced in the media is that relating to student molestation by teachers; but this is only the tip of the iceberg, as there have been many cases where teachers who have been accused are allowed to remain on the job without the requisite protective mechanisms being put in place to ensure the safety of students. In the Corentyne, a teenager who was raped in her kitchen by her adult neighbour took her own life because the perpetrator was allowed to walk free and continued to harass her, while other villagers either taunted or shunned her. Fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, other relatives and friends, teachers, public officials, and strangers rape, fondle, sodomise the innocents in society and get off either scot-free, or with a figurative tap on the wrist by members of the justice (sic!) system. There was a recent case of sisters in a village who had been habitually abused by several members of their community, with full knowledge of the entire community, who merely saw the girls as discard-

First things first PARLIAMENT is to be reconvened shortly and, according to the AFC, the motion of No-Confidence is to be discussed as a matter of priority. Moses Nagamootoo, who tabled the motion, has made the re-

quest that this matter be dealt with dispatch - taking precedence over all other matters pending debate in the National Assembly. I must say this is a very bold move on the part of the minority AFC. Inter-

estingly so is the fact that Nagamootoo is making that request to a Speaker who is locked in a court case for rape and buggery of a minor in the High Court. So, my first question to Nagamootoo is, who gave

able trash. These children were so damaged from being raped by adult males from very tender ages that doctors said they would never be able to conceive, because damages to their reproductive organs were extensive and irreparable. The incidents are spiralling and in one edition of a daily newspaper there were reported no less than seven cases of child abuses; perpetrators of three were teachers, two were fathers, one a taxi driver, and one a landlord. Two of the teachers were remanded, while the other was placed on station bail, the taxi driver and landlord were in custody pending police investigations (sic!), and the father of the son and daughter whom he raped and sodomised has been remanded. The Media also reported on the case of convicted rapist Kenston Drakes, where an all-male jury found him guilty, after which Justice Franklyn Holder sentenced him to 16 years in prison. Kudos to Justice Holder, also magistrate Roby Benn who remanded Ronald Forde to prison; and magistrate Nyasha Williams-Hatmin who remanded the father who raped and sodomised his own children to prison; and shame on the magistrate who let the Saraswat Primary School child molester go.

The emotional, psychological, and physical damage caused the victims of these perpetrators is irreparable, such as in the instance of the baby boy whose digestive tract was destroyed by a father who sodomised him while the child was left in his care, which is another of a plethora of incidents where rapacious beasts ravage the innocence and lives of the society’s children. But it is not the law-enforcement agencies that are failing the children of the land; it is the members of communities who witness the unspeakable acts and stay quiet, preferring to mind their own business and not make waves. Director of the Child Care and Protection Agency, Ms. Ann Green, told Chronicle recently in an invited comment that the agency is absolutely frustrated with the response and the level of slothfulness on the part of the Police Force in dealing with cases of this nature, as well as the latitude allowed the perpetrators in the judicial process, despite the revised Sexual Offences Act. Authorities should seek ways of strengthening the facilitating and implementation mechanisms so that the laws are brought into full effect against child molesters, especially in relation

to placing such perpetrators on bail. This newspaper, for a long time now, has been calling for the President’s and Human Services Minister’s efforts not to go to waste, and that the facilitating and implementation mechanisms for all the systems and programmes that they have driven to protect the nation’s children from predators in the society be enforced by the conjunctive sectors, especially the security and judicial forces. Only a holistic approach could reduce, if not completely eradicate, this particularly heinous scourge from society. The recent imbroglio involving a prominent political figure and member of the legal profession bears out this newspaper’s contention, that the weak and the powerless have no recourse to justice against the rich and powerful; because the former’s voice has been silenced by the very structures of the law that is supposed to access him justice; while the latter’s voice is loud and strident in his own defence; even as he sits and grandiloquently pontificates on the nation’s business. The outcome of this case, as in the case of the aforementioned paedophile, is a foregone conclusion.

him the bright idea that he “controls” anything in the National Assembly that he should dictate what goes on there? On the second count, who told him that a No-Confidence motion is priority? I would further add that Nagamootoo should be well-advised that the court matter involving the Speaker takes precedence over any matter

in this noble house. That is priority; not what they think. It must be made pellucid that no sensible government (and that is the PPP/C not the AFC) would proceed with a Speaker embroiled in a very serious paedophile matter; it just won’t happen. I think what the PPP/C is doing right now is giving Speaker Trotman time to vacate gracefully. They are giving

him enough time to go home and work out his moral compass while there is time. It is the ethical and morally upright thing to do in such a highly-charged atmosphere. So, simply put, I don’t think the PPP/C is the least bit interested in Nagamootoo and Ramjattan’s idle threat of a No-Confidence motion.

Guyana’s political Opposition has no vision for national development - reasons given for the veto of several big projects are, at best, intellectually suspect SINCE the new political dispensation of the Guyana’s parliament after the 2011 general elections we have witnessed, on several occasions, the combined Opposition using its one seat majority to block funding to a number of projects, cutting the national budget and in a general manner stymieing the development thrust of the Government. The objective, it would seem, is to flex political muscle to the detriment of all Guyanese. Alliance For Change (AFC) Leader Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan pronounced emphatically before the budget was even tabled that the cuts are going to be more ‘constructive’, thus

admitting that the cuts before were far from ‘constructive’ and their objective is to cut, by any means necessary. It is not that cutting the national budget will take you to hell, but saying ‘no’ to something should usually be followed by a good alternative, as the latter would indicate commitment to national development and equally some visionary prowess. But in our case the Opposition has cut the budget, veto the projects and have failed to offer alternatives. It is as if they’re saying “you can’t eat the bread on your table but…we don’t have a meal to offer”. This demonstration of intellectual bankruptcy is nothing new to the Guyanese

people, as it is reminiscent of the notorious PNC era where a chronic drought of transformational ideas persisted. Amongst the projects vetoed for political vindictiveness, (economic sabotage may be more accurate) are the Amaila Falls Hydro project, the CJIA expansion, the Aviation plan and the Marriott. The reasons given for the veto are, at best, intellectually suspect. The Opposition has pronounced that the Hydroelectric project would run dry at some point. However, a hydroelectric plant was never meant to produce electricity all year round: Basic research would show only a small percentage of hydro falls can actually

achieve this. The CJIA expansion and the Marriott followed a similar logic, whereby the Opposition argues that the CJIA expansion is pointless, given the limited international traffic. The same logic is extended to the Marriott; stop the project because the other hotels aren’t performing well. This is a sad case of an inherent inability to distinguish between cause and effect or synergy. Arguably an explanation for the limited international traffic is the state of modernity of the current Airport infrastructure. You would never be able to attract state-ofthe-art carriers with a dated infrastructure. A large new airport is necessary for these carriers to transit Guyana. These carriers are not landing in Guyana because we don’t have a modern airport, not the other way around.

The Marriott follows a similar flawed thinking, one that completely ignores the fact that to attract the tourists we desire a modern facility. However, while flawed logic was used to shaft these projects, no reasons was given as to why the Aviation plan was vetoed, so one has to assume, given the modus operandi of the political Opposition, that there is no logic behind that cutting. It is the vision of the incumbent Government that sees Guyana as an Aviation hub; a nation placed between Central, Latin and South America, The Caribbean and North America and would be able to provide aviation services that are unique. It is the vision of the incumbent that saw Guyana as a tourist destination, with the resources to offer something different. The other nations sell white sand, blue waters and clear

sky as their biggest assets, but the world has seen that ten times over. Guyana can tap into eco-tourism and capture a massive market. It is the vision of the incumbent that realised Guyana’s manufacturing prowess, the intermediate savannahs provide abundant land for production and Hydroelectricity would provide cheap renewable electricity to complete the manufacturing process. Would we be seeing a Berbice River Bridge and the Providence national stadium if the now political Opposition had possessed this one seat majority? Or even more frightening to contemplate, were they in power? The sane mind thinks not. We all know what the vision of the incumbent is, but can we say the same for the combined Opposition? STEPHEN KISSOON

Criminals in high political and NGO office infiltrated all Gov’t institutions SOME non-governmental organisations, including Help and Shelter, Red Thread, Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination and the Guyana Human Rights Association must explain the reasons for their deafening silence on this particular matter involving serious accusations against Raphael Trotman. If Johnny Welshman had made those allegations against a senior Government functionary or People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) member, there would have been no limit to the expressions of outrage, controversy, and condemnation of the act and the alleged perpetrator. If Welshman is able to make a case and prove his accusations against the three males who allegedly sexually molested him, then every single non-governmental organisation here would have a lot of explaining to do. Take a look at how they were and are seemingly fully deaf, dumb, and blind to C.N. Sharma’s alleged transgressions. Take a look at how they are seemingly fully deaf,

dumb, and blind to media mogul Glenn Lall’s alleged criminal actions. Take a look at how they went after the Government when a police officer burnt a gang member’s penis where it was alleged that he and his gang murdered a PPP member. To this day no one ever said how he or she came into having possession of those photos they plastered all over for the world to see. It means that the Opposition and the private media have all infiltrated every public institution and can access the goods on Government at will. I can recall when former President Bharrat Jagdeo would order the GDF to go along with the police to rid Buxton of weapons and criminals. From the time the army and police gathered up to leave for their raid the message was already sent to Buxton that security would be at that location at the specified time. Does anyone think the independent and free media would bother to dig to find out who were the moles in security passing on the info

to the criminals? These are just a couple of examples where most Guyanese know that Opposition and the Opposition-aligned media have infiltrated all institutions in Guyana.

Take a look how the judiciary has been infiltrated already; where Opposition lawyers and criminal lawyers are making rings around the poor saps we called prosecutors. If one were to look

First things ... From Page 6

What the party should do is table a motion for the immediate removal of the Speaker. And should they posit that there will be a constitutional crisis, there would be no such thing because there is a Deputy Speaker in the house who is ready and able to carry on. Even if the sexual molestation issue is settled out of court, Trotman still cannot hold office. A “settlement” means that the accused party has decided to drop the ignominy of being found guilty in a court of law in a case which, in most cases, mandates a jail term. He might well opt for the less painful and less embarrassing route of public scrutiny. Therefore,

the best option available is to resign. Let me refer you to the situation in the United States with the Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi, who had to step aside while his matter was decided in court. As the court record shows, he was acquitted of the charge and is seeking reinstatement. In fact the latest news report states that he cannot hold office again. The same goes for Trotman. He must vacate his post. He cannot convince anyone with any valid reasons why a person should hold such a high position while damaging allegations are levelled against him. E. ADAMS

very deeply one will have no other choice but to conclude that even some of the magistrates who are not in the pockets of Opposition and criminal lawyers are very much afraid for their very own lives, since they too know that these people are not fooling around. The sad part of all of

this is that the elected Government cannot do anything but to sit helplessly and ride with it. The Opposition and those so-called NGOs will continue to trample on the majority of good citizens of Guyana. T. KING

Guyana still at risk of blacklisting by FATF – AG – country’s case comes up shortly

THE failure of Guyana to pass the internationally recognised amended Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism legislation means that the risk of it being blacklisted still remains. Guyana’s case to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) will be put forth during the body’s plenary meeting on October 18-24 in France. Speaking to the Government Information Agency yesterday, Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, Anil Nandlall said that despite the identification of deficiencies in Guyana’s financial and legal architecture, along with the timeline to rectify same, the political Opposition continues to reject recommendations to address its shortcomings. The vital legislation is currently languishing in the Select Committee, chaired by A Partnership for National Unity Member, Carl Greenidge, and according to Minister Nandlall, an “exorbitant political ransom” is being demanded for its release. Describing the Opposition’s move to stymie the bill’s passage as political blackmailing and machinations, the nation remains on the “precipice” of being blacklisted, Minister Nandlall emphasised. Guyana is executing a work plan given to government by the FATF, and a unit of the aforementioned organisation has

been given the responsibility of supervising the correction of deficiencies identified, he added, saying that as far as possible “Guyana has attempted to comply with the work plan”. Guyana’s efforts were recently reviewed during a faceto-face interaction with the Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG) in Miami on September 29. FATF appointed a special body comprising representatives from the Americas to work with Guyana for the purpose of making a presentation of Guyana’s case in Paris. The report, which was worked out by both stakeholders, the minister said, has already been sent to Paris for scrutiny. Attorney General “In Paris, France, it will Anil Nandlall be decided whether we will be given any further time to correct the deficiencies,” the Attorney General stated.

Guyana is the only country that is technically deficient in terms of its financial crimes’ legislative framework in the western hemisphere, as all of the other FATF member-countries are now concluding their fourth round of examinations. Guyana is still to come out of the third round. Government is aware of the deficiencies and whilst it has attempted to correct them, most of what is needed, Minister Nandlall added, can only be done with the legislation’s passage and enactment. “Government’s efforts to enact that legislation have been frustrated by the non-support of the political Opposition,” he reiterated. Government has been trying for close to two years to realise the passage of the critically needed legislation, but to no avail. This is despite several interventions by local and international financial experts and stakeholders urging all sides of the National Assembly to support it. The AMLCFT Bill was tabled in the National Assembly since early last year and despite the pressures mounted by Guyanese and foreigners alike, the Bill that will bring Guyana into compliance with international requirement, has been voted down, re-tabled in Parliament, crucial deadlines were missed, and to date, it is still at the select committee whose deliberations have and continue to be marred by delaying tactics.

CJ grants leave to Sugar workers receiving Trotman’s lawyer to prepare affidavit four per cent increase … in response to Welshman’s statements By Leroy Smith CHIEF Justice (ag) Ian Chang yesterday granted leave to Nigel Hughes for him to prepare an affidavit responding to the sworn statements of Johnny Welshman against Hughes’s client, Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman. Yesterday when the matter came up as scheduled before the chief justice (CJ), the request was made by Hughes and according to the CJ, the matter will be called again on November 4, 2014. On that date, the chief justice after listening to the arguments and facts provided; will decide if the matter will be continued, or if it will be thrown out. Johnny Welshman had moved to the High Court to have a “gag” order lifted, after lawyers for Trotman had moved to the court to block Welshman from making statements and comments which implicate the speaker and imply that the Speaker of the National Assembly had buggered him. The court order instructed Welshman to cease his public disclosures on the matter to the press and on his social network sites. Two weeks ago he moved to the court to have the ban lifted, but the court granted a stay of execution. On that same date, the chief justice advised Welshman that he should seek professional legal representation and/or advice. Taking the advice of the chief justice, Welshman later announced that he was being represented by attorney- at-law, Peter Hugh. Johnny Welshman, who is being regarded as mentally unstable by some sections of the press and society, has been accusing the speaker of the national assembly and two other persons including his father of sexually molesting him. Welshman during his last interview told the media that persons are twisting his stories and he would be forced to expose media houses and journalists with whom he had interviews and other interactions. He indicated that he has a pen with a camera and that his evidence about the media houses and journalists he wished to expose have been recorded with that pen. Meanwhile, Welshman was beaten earlier this week by two men who entered a car which he joined on the seawall. That matter was reported to the police and an investigation is under way.

- suspended worker still to be reinstated

THE four per cent pay increase for sugar workers is payable, according to President of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), Mr. Komal Chand. He told the Guyana Chronicle that the new rate, implemented on October 5, has been used to adjust the rate of payments made to sugar workers. The increase follows the completion of negotiations with the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and the GAWU, among other stakeholders. Chand also noted that the increase, which is retroactive from January 1 to October 4, is yet to be paid. “The sugar workers are being paid the adjusted rate, which includes the four per cent increase, but with regard to the retroactive monies, GuySuCo has to identify the time when it will be paid. If we are to go according to what has happened in the past, then we can expect those monies to be paid in November or in December,” he said. OUTSTANDING MATTER Addressing the matter of an altercation between the Skeldon Estate Manager and an employee, which led to a massive strike in September, Chand said GuySuCo is still to act on the Ministry of Labour’s recommendation. “For the strike to be called off we agreed to a Terms of Resumption (TOR), which included reconciliation talks. Those happened and the Ministry of Labour made a recommendation. The ministry can only make a recommendation, not a decision,” he explained. Chand bemoaned the fact that GuySuCo, two weeks after the talks have ended, is still to act on the matter. “The recommendation was that Mr. Stephen Daniel, the employee, should be reinstated and paid for the period he was suspended, because of the fact that the natural course of justice, the protocol, was not followed,” he said. According to him, if GuySuCo’s decision on the matter is not acceptable, there will be a move to arbitration. “We will have to go back to the ministry and declare the matter deadlocked. We will have to negotiate the terms of arbitration and have the matter settled there. At that stage, the decisions made will be binding,” he said. (Vanessa Narine)

TEACHING, THIEVING AND TERROR By Madan M. Gopal IF you are fond of writing and won’t stick to sweet nothings or place yourself under somebody’s thumb, you had better watch out, because sooner or later the secret police will go after you. I became forcibly aware of this when I tried to publish my first book, Politics, Race and Youth, in Guyana. It was based on dialogues with Indian youths in Guyana in 1982 and, at the least, revealed signs of the emergence of an inter-ethnic solidarity consciousness among that group. It also showed how the widespread antagonism at the time towards the regime had manifested itself among that group. Not only was the publication of the book delayed until after the election-riggers in Guyana were removed through free and fair elections in 1992, but it was mutilated when published. The publisher refused to correct and re-issue the book. I managed to salvage a few copies one of which lies in the University of Guyana library. Recently, in the space of a month, my home was subjected to three break-ins (on June 17, July 10 and July 16) and my losses exceeded $700,000.These thefts occurred in broad daylight when I was not at home. Though the thieves took away cash and other valuables, their primary interest was in items connected with writing, such as computers, printers, and storage devices, like flash drives. For instance, on June 17, the thieves took away an old flash drive lying on my writing desk but left a Seiko watch valued at $40,000 lying right next to it. Why would a thief opt for an old, used flash drive worth a thousand dollars over a watch several times its value? Of course, on that occasion, they also took away my computer and my printer. The real reason for the thefts came out vividly at the second break-in. The criminals carried away from a set of CDs three disks which contained articles and personal files. These were marked “copy of documents” and “documents” and stored backup copies. They left behind CDs containing software of different kinds (word-processing, data-recovery and faxing software). They also ferreted out from among my belongings an old used flash drive of rather limited capacity. Why should my personal files be preferred by thieves to valuable software? (Of course, they also took away at this time

my notebook and a printer, which I had bought as replacement after the first break-in.) Clearly, these are tutored criminals. Tutored in what? Among other things, in the art of intimidation. The first time they came, the criminals left a hammer on a sofa, right behind the front door, so that it was the first thing to greet me as I entered my home. I made my way to the kitchen, taking in things at a glance, and came to the back door, which I found wide open. As I looked down the stairs, there, at the bottom, was an axe. A hammer and an axe are not trifling symbols of violence, and I doubt whether they were displayed as they were through sheer coincidence. The point was made even more emphatically on the second occasion. After the criminals entered the house, they bolted the front door from inside, forcing me to use the back stairs. As I ascended, what did I see at the top of the stairs? A cutlass lying by the back door and pointing towards me. On entering, I noticed the linoleum ripped apart, a floorboard removed, and in the space the sharp end of a shovel projecting from the storeroom below, well into the kitchen. The intent was unmistakable— intimidation and disruption. As if to sustain the momentum of stress, these crimes were committed in rapid succession, with daring and recklessness, all in broad daylight. Furthermore, wrenching off padlocks, ripping out floorboards and smashing window panes are not just wanton acts of brute force, but potent ways of sending intimidatory messages. What could have triggered these attacks? At the time, I had prepared a collection of essays, stories and speeches, bringing them together within a single volume for the convenience of students and solely for tuition at a private school where I teach English part-time and coordinate the teacher education programme. Relevant questions and issues are raised in relation to each of the twenty pieces entitled “Memorable Prose Pieces.” The first sign that all was not well was the response of the printer to whom I submitted the manuscript. Though he had earlier unhesitatingly printed other books for me, he now kept putting me off, month after month, with one excuse after another. After eight months of being fobbed off, I approached two other printers. It was at this point, when I persisted, that the attacks were unleashed. The first attack took place two days after I visited one printer, and the second on the very day I had a meeting with another.

What is there in the book to provoke such attacks? On the whole the pieces are quite harmless, conservative readings. But three in particular appear to have infuriated somebody. One of these is an essay on his imprisonment by Jawaharlal Nehru entitled “Animals in Prison.” A question raised in the book is whether the British practised psychological torture on Nehru. Anyone with a psychology background and some familiarity with sensory deprivation and its effects will not think this an unwarranted assumption. Though Nehru himself is remarkably free from bitterness, what he mentions of his prison experience supports such a contention. Another question raised is whether “animals” in the title of the essay refer exclusively to infra-human creatures. Or is Nehru drawing attention to the reduction of human beings to the level of animals by the British, given the type of racism in vogue during the colonial era? Now who would be offended by the broaching of such questions with children during a study of this revealing essay? A second irritating piece in this anthology is Maxim Gorki’s satire on the billionaire. Who would be upset by Gorki’s narrator’s assertion that there are “kings” in America when everybody knows it is a democracy with an elected president? Also, is not the narrator’s belief that the pocket of a billionaire is large enough to contain the whole senate and church offensive? And who would be outraged by the suggestion that the whole life and activity of the billionaire is marked by illogic? The third infuriating piece is the speech by a 19th-century Indian chief who reflects on the wrongs heaped upon his people. It is simple and eloquent, a masterpiece in irony. A child who is guided through it is bound to have a firm grasp of the ironic mode and its possibilities. But, alas, the chief not only denounces the spilling of his people’s blood, but castigates “the great [white] father” himself. Now who would become enraged over the treatment of such material as literature in an English class? Who would regard the teaching of it as subversive? Who would send their criminals against such a teacher? On a number of occasions before the three recent break-ins, my home had been surreptitiously entered, my computers damaged or stolen and documents removed. Until now, the hand of the White Man’s secret police has not been so visibly inscribed on the crimes.

The behaviour pattern which guides the motivation behind Glenn Lall who is accused of an alleged duty free scam has finally caught up with him. Here is a man that spurn vehemently the need to be principled. He just adores being the protagonist and is prepared to be obnoxious about it. Mabel who knows Lall personally is not surprised of all the trouble as a result of the allegation being made against him. She also knows that with the battalion of legal luminaries as published defending him, the dent to his finances will reach the amount allegedly involved in tax evasion reaching as high as $40M. The staff of GRA will have a very busy time with examining the tax returns for 2014 relative to some professional practitioners. Mabel wishes them well in their successful diligence. Meanwhile Mabel is wondering how much longer

will the Parliament of our country be tainted with the odious smell of a speaker accused of sexual interference. How much truth is there in what is being circulated that traffic cops are involved in participating in ‘Box Hands’ contributions of $50,000 weekly. Increasingly, the Opposition political parties are being exposed for holding back full development of the country and the one most significant lapse attributed to them is the non-support of the Amaila Falls Hydro Project.

Public opinion being voiced is the belief that with Hydro Power providing cheaper electricity lower costs will greatly assist in the creation of more industries and thus more jobs will become available.

Palms holds health fair to observe Month of the Elderly

By Navendra Seoraj THE Palms Geriatric Home yesterday held its mini-health fair in observance of Month of The Elderly, in the compound of the Palms. According to Probation and Social Services Officer, Harriet Mc Kenzie-Wong, the health fair is held in October every year by The Palms. She noted that following a series of activities which began earlier this month for the elderly, the health fair was set up so that elders could get various check-ups to keep abreast with their state of health. At the fair, various services were offered to the elderly, some of which included testing for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), counselling, random blood-sugar testing and physiotherapy. Wong also stated that this is just another way of giving back to some of the elderly people who served Guyana as loyal citizens for many years. Since the Month of the Elderly was launched in Oc-

tober 2010, the elderly now have the chance to be happy and enjoy a month filled with activities. Speaking with the Chronicle, some of the elders expressed their gratitude and appreciation for this venture, Some of them were extremely overjoyed, because they now have a month in honour of them and they noted how thankful they are to the Government for implementing this. An elderly woman noted that the health fair gave her a chance to check on her health; she noted that she wasn’t even aware of how high her blood pressure was until she checked it, because she wasn’t experiencing any symptoms of the sort. They encouraged The Palms to continue the good work that they are doing, and they hope this venture could go on for a very long time. The Palms Geriatric Institution is the safe home for senior citizens, providing a shelter so that those in care there could enjoy their golden years, but also offers the type and quality of meals to

maintain proper health. The roots of the institution date back to 1874 when it was established as the “Alms House” under British colonial rule. The Brickdam institution is fully funded by the Government of Guyana and is administered by the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security. Renamed “The Palms” in 1974, the institution provides free services to destitute senior citizens, and is the only such institution in the country.

Major rehab works in pipeline - to ensure safe, comfortable for The Palms environment for elderly By Clestine Juan REHABILITATION works continue at The Palms, the geriatric institution on Brickdam, to ensure that elderly residents who reside there are in a safe, comfortable and productive environment. This was according to Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Jennifer Webster, who stated that the old wooden building has outlived its time. “Currently, the instalment of a generator is being done, so that residents are not victims to power outages,” she said. Additionally, the minister pointed out that with the aid of the Guyana Fire Service (GFS), the building was inspected for safety hazards. “There has then been new placement of fire extinguishers and smoke detectors,” Webster said. “There is also the restoration of the laundry room; more washing machines;

the replacement of beds; the restoration of the stairs and the interiors of Wards Three, Four and Six, as well as the refurbishing of the pantry that will cater for all the storage of food commodities.” Also, she noted that electrical works will be done throughout the home, because the old wiring has become outdated. Minister Webster also disclosed that the ministry plans to install security cameras within the premises and the facility in 2015, to ensure residents’ safety. She remarked that also on the cards is the construction of a soup kitchen and the erection of a fence to separate the individuals who use the soup kitchen, from those who live at The Palms. “The upgrading of the recreational room is also planned to ensure that the residents will be more relaxed and comfortable,” she said.

On the issue of medical attention, Webster stated that there will be a doctor who will be on call to cater to the health needs of residents. The ministry, she added, remains committed to improving social services for senior citizens and the needy, and will continue to enhance facilities and create the necessary environment to ensure that they are comfortable. Webster said, “In Guyana there is a greater need for the services of the elderly, more senior citizens’ homes and it’s something the ministry is looking at. The future endeavours, such as more facilities and services offered by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, will be possible with funding allocated in the 2015 budget.” The Palms has been the safe home for indigent senior citizens for over a century; the institution is fully funded by the Government of Guyana and is administered by the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security.

OF ‘CHICKV’ PAIN AND UGLY BIG POWER POLITICS Analysis by Rickey Singh NOT SINCE suffering a cardiac arrest some 18 years ago that necessitated surgery, have I been compelled to be bed-ridden for more than a week earlier this month, and counting. It was a bitter experience to result from that feared viral disease with the long, ugly 12-letter name of chickungunya, transmitted by infected mosquitoes. What some prefer to shortlist as ‘chickv’ has triggered anxieties across this nation, and others in our Region, and we are on constant alert for ‘enemy number one’—mosquitoes. The pain has been excruciating and my dear wife rallied with customary love and tender care, as we await the blood test result. At the same time, I remain intrigued by a casual observation from a very caring doctor who witnessed my blood test. She had noted that though manifestations of my illness

could be likened to chickungunya, close monitoring was still occurring of a similar viral disease that’s yet to be definitively identified with a name.

President Barack Obama Well, thank God, it is not the dreaded Ebola disease that’s on the rampage across Africa and spawning growing fears among nations, including those of the developed, rich and powerful bloc of

Car battery thief gets six months WESLEY Ferdanance (no address given) was Tuesday sentenced to six month’s imprisonment for stealing a car battery. The convict accepted the simple larceny charge, when it was read to him by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. Particulars of the charge said that on September 23 at Croal Street, Georgetown, he stole one car battery valued $17, 000, property of Anika Jacobs. Police Inspector Michael Grant told the court that the facts are as charged and that the prisoner had previously been convicted for similar offences.

Mother, son charged with bribing U.S. Embassy employee

A MOTHER and her son were Tuesday placed on $100,000 bail each by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for bribing an employee at U.S. Embassy to issue a non-immigrant visitor’s visa. Bibi Parmanand, 49, and her 19-year-old son, Parmesh Parmanand of Lot 6 Adelphi Street, Block 2, East Canje Berbice, both pleaded not guilty to the charge that said between September 2 and 10 at Duke Street, Kingston Georgetown, they conspired with persons to bribe an employee at the United States of America Embassy to obtain a non-immigrant visitor’s visa for Parmesh Parmanand. Representing the duo was attorney-at-law, Mr. Clyde Forde. He requested bail for both of his clients, pleading that neither of them has any prior convictions nor pending matter. He added that Parmesh is presently employed as a labourer at the Rose Hall Estate and Bibi is the mother of three children. Police Prosecutor Michael Grant did not oppose bail for the duo but asked that conditions be applied. They were ordered to report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters every fortnight on Fridays until the completion of the matter. They will make their next court appearance on October 24.

states. If there is a common message for all of us---here in this country and across the Caribbean homeland— in relation to the horrible chickungunya disease and the terrifying, deadly Ebola killer, it could well be to cultivate a more caring attitude towards those around us to be of some help in this time of spreading, nerve racking, challenging health problem. God knows that for all their wealth and military might, the rich and powerful western nations may well have, paradoxically, trapped themselves into a political cul-de-sac by their initial exuberance to launch a “coalition of willing” countries to bombard targets of the ISIS Islamist combatants in Iraq and Syria. These jihadists, who see themselves as “liberators” from the “infidels of the West,” have, among their big, dependable funders, some

of the very countries and governments of the Middle East that continue to multiply chaotic choices for superpower U.S.A and its allies as they make a farce of the so-called ‘war against terrorism.” ‘Rebuilding’ Gaza? To make matters worse, if not more laughable, the U.S.A, Israel, Palestine and their allies last week in Cairo brokered a new aid deal with donor nations, committing themselves to pledges totalling some US$5.4B to “rebuild” Gaza! Yes, to “rebuild” Gaza— after the recent systematic bombing destruction by Israel’s military force, and worse, without anything in place that could be referenced as a new approach for the long elusive but most desirable two-state solution. This is the sort of political madness that fosters cynicism, and worse. The western powers and

Israel have got to be kidding—from no solution in sight in the war against well armed, well funded and highly committed ISIS jihadists, to a now new “donors pledge” to reconstruct what Israel so systematically and callously destroyed in Gaza—but with no reference to the vital concept of a twostate solution that requires Israelis and Palestinians living side by side within defined borders as independent member states of the United Nations. OBAMA’S CHALLENGE This columnist has no doubt that President Barack Obama is sincere in his public assurances of seeking a world free from international terrorism, hunger, poverty and diseases. What, however, seems sadly lacking is tangible evidence of any serious, sustained initiative to transform ‘assurances’

into realities. For all his admirable intellectual profile and capacity to court ‘friends’ among ‘adversaries’, this second-term President, who attained office with so much hope and promise, cannot even bring himself in 2014 to turn the page on the U.S.A’s sad, black record of ending America’ utterly failed 51-year history of isolating the proud Caribbean nation of Cuba. That’s the four-letter name of the country which has stuck in the throat of successive U.S. Presidents since enforcement of the most punishing and destructive embargo against any nation by the United States of America. Now this caricature of an ‘anti-Cuba’ policy is increasingly being viewed as a monumental failure by what remains as the world’s sole “superpower” that, sadly, seems to have lost its compass for defeating the ISIS jihadists. I hope not.

Jailed for breaking and entering lawyer’s office A T W E N T Y- F O U R YEAR-OLD man of Thomas Street, South Cummingsburg, was Tuesday sentenced to three years imprisonment on a break and enter and larceny charge. Before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, Gary Khanai pleaded not guilty to the charge that said between October 11 and 12 at Thomas Street, South Cummingsburg, he broke

and entered the law office of attorney-at-law, Emily Dodson and stole therein two Dell Computers, one toilet set, one wheelbarrow, two voltage stabilisers and one web camera, together valued at $373,000. The court heard that on the day in question around 15:00 hrs, the virtual complainant (VC) secured her office by the means provided. However, the following

Brazilian on $50,000 bail for uttering forged document BRAZILIAN national, Cassia Santos of Lot 18 Laluni Street, Queenstown, was Tuesday placed on $50,000 bail by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for uttering a forged document. The 20-year-old defendant initially pleaded guilty to the charge that said on Monday, October 13 at Ogle International Airport, on the East Coast of Demerara, with intent to defraud she uttered to constable 21082 Banny, one Brazilian passport with two false Guyana entry and departure stamps, purporting to show that same was issued at Moleson Creek, knowing same to be false. Santos was represented by attorney-at-law, Ms. Onassis Granville. The defendant explained to the court that she gave someone to look after her passport and was not aware that it was false. She noted that she travelled five months ago and was not told by Guyana and Suriname Police that the stamps were false. The matter was transferred to Magistrate Dylon Bess for statements on November 10.

day the convict was seen walking out of the said office with the articles mentioned in the charge. He was caught by public- spirited citizens and the police were summoned. Khanai told the court that he was beaten by people and then an ambulance came and took him to the hospital. He added that he was taken in an unconscious state and in the afternoon the police arrived at the hospital. He said that he did not break and enter, but was paid $500 to push out something

on a wheelbarrow, since fetching loads is what he does for a livelihood. He blurted that he did not break into the office, but two others did. The Chief Magistrate told Khanai that he could still be charged for the principal offence, because he assisted in fetching the articles, despite he declared that he did not break in the office. Police Prosecutor Michael Grant informed the court that the prisoner had previously been convicted for similar offences.

Housewife charged for attempting to pervert course of justice A TWENTY-YEAR-OLD housewife of Lot 177 Lodge Housing Scheme, Georgetown, was Tuesday placed on her own recognisance by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for allegedly attempting to pervert the course of justice. Candacy Chandler denied the charge that said between April 16 and 29 at Georgetown, she willingly attempted to pervert the course of justice by causing Kevin Belfield, a marshal of the Supreme Court to serve originate summons on the person, whom she knew and was not the respondent Quincy McDowell, in attempt to prevent the said McDowell from attending court. Police Prosecutor, Michael Grant did not oppose bail and the mother of one will make her next court appearance before Magistrate Dylon Bess on November 10.

remains on July 24 and was identified by her mother. Goodman, 34, of William Street, Kitty, failed to return home after she had accompanied a group of students for the Inter-Secondary Schools Basketball Championship in the city on June 3. She had sent her students ahead, while informing them that she would be picked up by a friend and was never seen alive again. It turned out that the friend did arrive, but persons were not able to ascertain who the individual was. However, others who saw the woman in the company of the man on the night shared

the information with sleuths and the man was arrested for questioning; he however had solid alibis, which caused him to be released from police custody. After the remains were discovered, he was re-arrested and again released due to the lack of evidence, since the 72-hour holding period had expired. A post-mortem conducted on July 28 by Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh on the remains of a so far unidentified female found aback Turkeyen, in a bushy area, gave the cause of death as incised wounds to the abdomen.

High labour costs of Buxton/Foulis and other NDCs significantly reduced - thanks to the Housing Ministry’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Project

THE high financial cost incurred by Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) to hire fulltime and part-time workers to execute enhancement works in communities has been significantly reduced, thanks to the Community Infrastructure Improvement Project (CIIP). This notion was expressed by Randolph Blair, Chairman of the Buxton/ Foulis NDC, who related that his NDC cannot effectively service the 13 communities under its purview given its strength of three labourers. Therefore, with CIIP hiring more than 60 Community Enhancement Workers to assist the Buxton/Foulis NDC with enhancement works such as weeding and cleaning of drains, cleaning of burial grounds and weeding of parapets would no longer be neglected, he added. O n We d n e s d a y a n d Thursday of last week, a team led by CIIP’s Project Coordinator, Karen Roop-

chand visited Mon Repos/ La Reconnaissance, Beterverwagting/Triumph, Better Hope/La Bonne Intention, and Buxton/Foulis NDCs on the East Coast of Demerara to sign employment contracts for 95 Community Enhancement Workers. They will assist the NDCs in executing their work programmes. The workers were supplied with tools and safety gear. They were expected to begin work earlier this week with immediate focus on the clearing of burial grounds. According to Blair, there are six cemeteries within his NDC and all require cleaning. He believes that the workers should utilise the dry season to clear the burial grounds since the overgrown vegetation needs to be cut. He foresees that Africanised bees could be a challenge for the workers. However, an official of the Project indicated that measures are in place to deal with such occurrences. He stated that another

area that needs urgent attention in the communities is the drainage networks. Since June, the drains were not cleaned and with the impending rainy season swift action must be taken to prevent flooding, he added. In addition, the Community Enhancement Workers will assist in patching of potholes with crusher-run, a task that would have required hiring a contractor. While the NDC is aware of its duties and responsibilities towards residents, low tax collection has prevented their achievements, he indicated. Blair anticipates that improvements to the communities would motivate residents to pay their taxes. Blair’s concerns were expressed by officials of other NDCs who complained of low tax collection. They too are grateful for the assistance. According to Parsram Ramkisson, Overseer of Mon Repos/La Reconnaissance NDC, with limited tax col-

CIIP's Project Coordinator Karen Roopchand (centre), Regional Community Enhancement Officer (left) with a few of the Community Enhancement Workers, last week lection it is difficult to provide adequate services to the 14,000 households under Mon Repos/La Reconnaissance NDC. He noted that CIIP has provided the answer to the labour shortage the NDC is experiencing. Oftentimes, the NDC is forced to hire private contractors for routine main-

tenance works and cleaning of drains. The positive effects of CIIP is not only been experienced at the NDC level but by persons who have gained employment. Ramkissoon, a Community Enhancement Worker, is thankful to the Government for this job opportunity. He is

the breadwinner for his small family comprising his wife and two grandchildren. Because of the 16-hour per work week schedule Ramkissoon is able to have a second job. “The money I earn from working with CIIP will fill a lot of holes and provide my family with a steady income,” Ramkisson said.

Beaten Rupununi farmer died of cirrhosis of the liver, heart attack By Leroy Smith THE police Tuesday reported that 52-year-old Clifton Clement of Central Rupununi who died days after a beating and was hospitalised, actually died from complications not associated with the alleged thrashing he received from unknown persons.

According to a police press release issued yesterday, the post-mortem performed on the body of the interior resident by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh found that he died of cirrhosis of the liver and a heart attack. With the results of the post-mortem, no one will be arrested for either murder

or manslaughter since it is clear that the man’s death is unrelated to the beating. The police in the division had indicated to the Guyana Chronicle that they did not arrest anyone owing to several factors, including the fact that the matter of the beating was never reported prior to the man’s death or hospitalisation, the persons

who inflicted the blows were unknown and the police had to be guided by the results of a post-mortem. This newspaper reported recently that Clifton Clement of Hiawa Village, Central Rupununi, in Region 9 had died early Sunday morning at his sister’s residence. Information reaching the Guyana Chronicle had stated that the man who was first admitted to the Lethem Hospital on October 2 after being taken there by his sister was discharged on Thursday last, October 9 following a trashing that he received on the night of October 1, 2014 in the vicinity of the Takutu Bridge, Lethem. Speaking with this

newspaper, sources out of Lethem who are close to the investigation had revealed that the man left his sister’s Hiawa home on October 1 and was heading for Brazil. He, however, stopped at a shop called ‘Yellow Shop’ close to the Takutu Bridge in Lethem and was seen imbibing. However rather than proceed to Brazil, the man returned to his sister ’s home late that evening and informed her that he was beaten by persons unknown to him. The man was taken to the hospital the following day, October 2 by his sister and was admitted and treated for lacerations to the head and right side mouth.

The matter was never reported to the police and the man was discharged on October 9. However sometime early yesterday morning he had a relapse while at his sister’s home and shortly after he passed away. The police were informed of the death and visited the home where he died. He was then taken to the Lethem Hospital where doctors there pronounced him dead. The body was then taken to the morgue and the woman gave the police a statement on the matter. It was during that statement that police ranks were told that the man was beaten and was admitted to the hospital earlier.

Man remanded to prison on multiple charges By Geeta Rampersaud A MAN of no fixed place of abode was Tuesday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on charges of murder, robbery under arms and possession of a firearm and ammunition. Steve Mohamed was not required to plead to the capital offence that said on Tuesday, July 15 at Konawaruk, Moussi Backdam, Potaro, he murdered Quacy Thompson, also known as “Dark Sight.” He denied that on Monday, September 1 at Moussi Backdam, being armed with a gun he robbed Akeem Green of three ounces of raw gold, $75,000 in Digicel Phone Cards and $145,000 cash together valued $1.2M, property of Terry Ambrose. The accused also pleaded not guilty to an offence committed on a police officer. Details of which alleged that on Monday, October 6 at Friendship, East Bank Demerara, with intent to resist or prevent lawful apprehension, he discharged a loaded firearm at Leon Lindo, a police constable acting in the execution of his duties. Mohamed denied three other charges relating to unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition. One of the charges said that on October 6 at Friendship, he had in his possession one .38 Taurus revolver, for which he was not licensed.

Another stated that on the same day at Friendship, he had in his possession two .38 live rounds of ammunition; one .38 live round of ammunition; one .38 spent shell and one.32 spent shell, when he was also not licensed to do so. Finally, the sixth charge said that on October 6 at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, on the East Bank of Demerara, he had in his possession one .38 live ammunition, without being a licensed firearm holder. According to the accused, he was robbed of his gold chain, gold band and tablet and shot four times and when he reported the matter, the police refused to take his statements. However, Police Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that acting on information and intelligence, a rank

who was in disguise managed to apprehend the defendant. He added that Mohamed opened fire at the rank, who also returned fire. The court heard that the unrepresented defendant had previous charges of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition, which were later dismissed against him. Mohamed complained to the court that he was supposed to have been taken to the hospital for medical attention, but the police had refused to take him. However, the murder and the robbery- underarms offences committed at Moussi Backdam were transferred to Mahdia Court for October 20, and the other matters committed on the East Bank of Demerara will be called at the Providence Court today.

For Thursday October 16, 2014 -12:00hrs

Aries March 21 - April 19 Today, more than ever, you will yearn to escape the daily routine. You thirst for new sights and sounds, new faces and new places, but you know you must juggle your desires with professional and domestic obligations. It isn’t always easy. Trust your imagination to find a way to settle this conflict. Taurus April 20 - May 20 You’re finally on the mend. The minor ailments that may have dragged you down lately are beginning to disappear. You’re about to regain all of your physical energy. If you overindulge, your energy level is likely to plummet once again. If nothing else, you will have learned a valuable lesson about the importance of moderation, especially now. Don’t overdo it! Gemini May 21 - June 21 Do you feel a little under the weather today? It’s quite possible, considering all the emotional turmoil you’ve been through lately. It takes time to recover from such storms. As you know, the work itself isn’t what gets you down. It’s worry about the future that drains your energy. Give yourself a break today. Take some time for rest and recuperation. Cancer June 22 - July 22 There is some likelihood that the mood at home is fraught with tension. Did you have some intellectual disagreement? In any case, it looks as though your self-confidence is stronger than ever right now. Go ahead and express any complaints or opinions you may have been keeping to yourself. But try and do it gently, especially where family is concerned. Leo July 23 - August 22 It seems that your sensitivity is in slight conflict with your actions. You continue to go through the daily motions and do what you planned on doing, but it seems as though your heart is no longer in it. Don’t ask why. It’s just that you’ve been working hard and thinking hard lately. You’ve reached your limit and it’s time to rest. Virgo August 23 - September 22 You may have been spending or saving too much money. It’s clear that a rebalancing is in order if you’re to find pleasure rather than frustration. It’s a curious phenomenon, as though you’ve lost contact with your body. Yet it’s in your body where you will ultimately find your balance. You certainly won’t find it in your head! Libra September 23 - October 22 Perhaps you’ve been impatiently waiting for the moment to jump into new adventures after your meditation during the last few months. Know that the moment has almost arrived! You now have the strategy, objective, and means at your disposal to succeed. Just a bit more work remains to be done. Gather your strength and get ready to take action with renewed vigour. Scorpio October 23 - November 21 If you find yourself tired and irritable at the moment, you should know that this is normal. You may have had a few weeks that were a little too studious. Would you like to continue on the same path? Be careful that your ambitions don’t lead you to serious physical exhaustion. You’ll be even more frustrated if you get sick. So be wise and take care of your basic needs. Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 This is going to be a good moment to look elsewhere. You should do just as the artist does when he has worked too long on a painting, which is to take a step back. You need to see people, travel, go to the theatre, and clear your head. This is never easy for you, but do it anyway. Afterwards you’ll think it was the best thing for you. Capricorn December 22 - January 19 This is the right moment to extricate yourself from relationships that have seen their day. This won’t be easy, but you must. In your professional and private lives, you’re too hesitant to get out of distasteful situations or obligations. You’re afraid of hurting people or making them mad. But in the end, you’re hurting yourself. Give more weight to your own needs and follow your own path. Aquarius January 20 - February 18 You took off like a bullet a few days ago, making great progress in a short amount of time. Now you’re grappling with doubts that are undermining all of your energy. Reflecting on the events of the past few days, it’s obvious that you were somewhat reckless in your headlong pursuit of your goals. Don’t give up. Rethink your strategy.

WICB endorses WIPA as players’ agent, urges peaceful resolution BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) says it fully endorses WIPA as the sole body to negotiate on behalf of the region’s players, and says it will only get involved in the ongoing impasse between the players union and the West Indies squad in India, if invited to do so. This comes against the backdrop of pronouncements by the West Indies one-day squad currently in India, that the Wavell Hinds-led WIPA no longer had the authority to speak on their behalf. However, in a letter to players’ representative Dwayne Bravo, WICB president Dave Cameron said

Dave Cameron that according to the recently signed Collective Bargaining Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding, WIPA remained “the sole and exclusive collective bargaining representative rec-

ognised by the WICB” for all persons contracted to play for any West Indies team. “What this effectively means is that we will only engage in discussions relating to the welfare, working conditions and remuneration of Cricketers with WIPA,” said the letter, a copy of which was obtained by CMC Sports. The Windies team had written the WICB last week indicating they had lost confidence in WIPA and would seek an alternative bargaining agent. The players are upset with the terms of the CBA/MOU which they have argued will result in a 65 per cent decrease in their earnings.

They contend that Hinds had not been clear on the terms of the newly signed CBA/MOU and stressed they were “collectively determined” not to accept any contracts stemming from the agreement. However, Cameron told Bravo the new CBA/MOU represented a forward step, and was a departure from the “uncertainties and confusion” of past agreements. “I would point out to you our view that the new MOU/CBA creates a clear, sustainable, long-term compensation structure, so that we avoid the uncertainties and confusion associated with previous one-off negotiations on a case by case

Suarez: I won’t waste Barca chance LUIS SUAREZ says he will not pass up the opportunity to be a success with Barcelona when he returns from the ban imposed on him by FIFA. The Uruguayan is just 11 days away from completing his sanction for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini in the World Cup this summer, and, with his first game back set to be the Clasico against Real Madrid he says he is looking forward to the experience. “I’m not going to

Luis Suarez

waste the opportunity of playing for Barca,” Suarez explained in an extensive interview with the club’s official magazine. “In the

15 minutes of the Gamper Trophy game (against Leon) I felt more like a guest than a Cule player. “However, over the last two games I’ve watched my teammates and experienced an increased anxiety and desire to play. I want to help and the waiting is almost over. “I’m really looking forward to it. You never know, but I’m the type of person who thinks everything happens for a reason, so from 19 possible opponents if it’s Real Ma-

drid I make my return against, then so be it.” Suarez admitted that for the first two months of his ban he found it hard to deal with not playing. “Over that period of time I didn’t feel like a football player. That was the worst thing because people make mistakes and it’s always good to accept them. But the most frustrating thing was not feeling like just another member of the squad. That’s what hurt me the most,” he conceded.

Logie says Sarwan... From Page 25 a little bit more difficult,” Logie said. Meanwhile, Logie confessed he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of coaching the West Indies team again. “Well, you never say never but I think that my focus right now is to make sure the Trinidad and Tobago franchise benefits from my experience and my expertise and the players themselves respond in a more positive way,” he said.

But Logie said he has not applied for the West Indies head coach job, vacated by the departure of Ottis Gibson. “I have to talk to my agent and my family first,” Logie said with a laugh. “Well, like everything else, if you are a coach, you aspire. Just like you tell players, you want them to aspire to play for the West Indies when they do their national duties. As coaches, we want to aspire to coach at the highest level and to also bring a level

of success, and expertise to whatever position it is. “Some of us have been there and we’ve done that but at the end of the day, if the opportunity does present itself again, I will just take it in stride,” Logie said. Logie, who coached the regional team to the Champions Trophy title in England in 2004 but quit shortly afterwards said he has put that issue behind him. “Like everything else in life, you have ups and downs. You win some, you

lose some. I think I’ve had a good run like everybody else. “Even after the Champions Trophy, if I was involved with the West Indies, I wouldn’t have gone to Bermuda and achieved what I did with some of the Bermudan players and the Bermudan cricket landscape. You leave legacies wherever you go. It’s been good so if the time comes again to come back, that’s how it is,” he said. (First Published In The Barbados Nation)

basis and the loose, informal arrangements of the past,” Cameron wrote. “One of the major benefits of this structure is that players’ compensation is based on players earning a percentage of WICB revenue; so that we are engaged in a true partnership – where WICB benefits financially, the players will also benefit. “The agreement also creates the framework for WICB and WIPA to comprehensively address the use of players’ image rights – so that both WICB and the players may benefit in relation to such usage. Further, it creates the opportunity for players to earn substantial amounts based on merit – by implementing financial rewards for on-field performances.” On the players’ request for the WICB intervention, Cameron said the regional governing body stood ready to undertake any mediation role but stressed this would

be governed by the terms of the CBA/MOU. “While we recognise that we may certainly be able to play a role in mediating the apparent issues between yourselves and WIPA – and are willing if invited, to do so; we must make it clear to you that we recognise and respect the principles set out in the MOU/CBA signed by ourselves and WIPA on September 19, 2014 and any involvement on our part could only be in accordance with that agreement,” Cameron said. The WICB chief urged the players to focus firstly on completing the current series against India and before dealing “with your grievances at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner as provided for by the rules of your Association.” West Indies face India in the fourth One-Day International tomorrow in Dharmasala, with the series tied at 1-1.

League to experiment with shorter 44-minute game (REUTERS) - THE Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics will experiment with a 44-minute preseason game on Sunday, four minutes shorter than a standard game, the National Basketball Association (NBA) said last Tuesday. The teams will play four 11-minute quarters at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, one minute shorter than the normal, while mandatory timeouts will be reduced, the NBA said in a statement. “At our recent coaches’ meeting, we had a discussion about the length of our games, and it was suggested that we consider experimenting with a shorter format,” NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn said in a statement. “After consulting with our Competition Committee, we agreed to allow the Nets and Celtics to play a 44-minute preseason game in order to give us some preliminary data that will help us to further analyse game-time lengths.” During Sunday’s game, there will be two mandatory timeouts per quarter. In a typical 48-minute NBA game, the second and fourth quarters have three mandatory timeouts. “When this idea came up at the coaches’ meeting, I thought it was a unique experiment that was worth participating in,” said Nets head coach Lionel Hollins. “I’m looking forward to gauging its impact on the flow of the game. Since there is a shorter clock, it affects playing time, so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays into substitution patterns.”

Inter-Service Athletics Championships

GDF hold narrowest of lead over GPF By Leeron Brumell

A MERE point separates the powerhouses after 19 completed events, following the second day of action in this year’s Inter-Services Annual Athletics Championships at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Camp Ayanganna-based sports ground yesterday. When light faded, the host team GDF were maintaining their first day lead even though it has been reduced, and will enter tomorrow’s final day on 295 points, one point more than the defending champions Guyana Police Force (GPF) who are on 294. A comeback by the defending champions i n y e s t e r d a y ’s a c t i o n saw them aggregate 164 points from the day’s activity to the Army’s 157, while the Guyana Fire Service are in third on 38, followed by City Constabulary on 37 with Prisons bringing up the rear with 26 points. The day’s hottest track event was the Men’s 800m final, the second race of the day where 13 athletes among them was national distance champion and Tuesday’s 5000m winner Cleveland Forde facing the starter. From the gun, the top athletes ran to front and the leaders in Forde, Kevin Bailey, Trevor Scotland and Ernesto Thomas decided after 200m to up the pace until the winner was decided. Bell lap - the pace increased, no athlete giving an inch but with 200m to go, three athletes broke for the finish line which saw a sprint to the end, from which Bailey proved he was the strongest and fittest, coming home unchallenged in 1 min 54.7 seconds with Scotland and Thomas finishing second and third re-

spectively. The women’s 800m battle was expected to be a close finish but Janella Jonas ran home an easy winner for GPF in 2 mins 22.04 seconds ahead of the Army’s diminutive Carlissa Atkinson, with Dellie Williams on the GPF taking third. The men’s triple jump event had its own heat – GDF taking the top two spots, dethroning and relegating Police’s Troy Williams to fifth. He could only hop, step and jump to 12.38m, as Leslain Baird on his fifth attempt registered 14.54m, to snatch victory from his Army team mate Laurex Baird who was in gold medal position with 14.10m, as Yoel Benjamin of the GPF took third with 13.96m. Baird then moved onto the Men’s Javelin event to take victory with a throw of 57.77m. Police’s Natasha Alder was again an easy winner after claiming the discus event the previous day - this time in the Javelin – 33.91m, to beat Andrella Abraham of the GDF into second place (32,40m), while Alder’s teammate Stacy Wilson was third (30.39m). On Tuesday Alder won the discus throw. In male competition, Winston George, who heads the field for the 400m final which will be run tomorrow, showboated to win heat one, calling his opponents home halfway down the homestretch, as he registered 20.9 seconds. He, however, will have some stiff competition coming from the winner of the second heat in GDF’s Davin Fraser who clocked 20.7 seconds, shutting down before the line, even as Patrick King, Keith Roberts, Akeem Stewart and Shawn Semple are all expected to face the starter for this event as well.

On the female side, Letitia Myles of the GDF won Heat 1 in 24.4 seconds, ahead of Onicka Eastman (GPF) and Tiffany Smith (GDF). Heat two was slightly slower – Tiffany Carto stopping the clock at 24.6 seconds, ahead of Neisha Allen (GDF) and Akelia Alves (GPF). Myles then returned to take victory in the women’s triple Jump registering 11.32m and she will look to take tomorrow’s 100m final, to crown off a wonderful championship for herself. On the track, the medley relays ended the day’s running. GDF held on for victory in the women’s 800m, thanks to their anchor athlete in Tiffany Smith who narrowly held on for victory on the 400m leg as Police’s Tiffany Carto did well to close the gap, but didn’t have enough in the tank to take the gold. Police coach, Lyndon Wilson had earlier raised some concern about the stagger start and placement of athletes on the first three legs. The Men’s 1500m went to police. The race was decided on the third leg (400m) when Olympian Winston George ran away from the GDF’s Patrick King to give Kevin Bayley the stick for the 800m leg. He never looked back and the rest is history. The winning time – 3 mins 18.5 seconds. In the shot put, Police’s Julio Sinclair needed a fifth throw to take gold – 13.98m, with the GDF’s Cupido Pablino in the lead with 13.07m on his first attempt and even though he made 13.58 with another throw, it was only good enough for silver. To m o r ro w ’s e v e n t is expected to begin at 14:00hrs with the march past of the five participating teams.

Brisbane Heat sign Badree BRISBANE, Australia The Brisbane Heat have signed the world’s number one international T20 bowler for this summer’s KFC T20 Big Bash League, as West Indian leg-spinner Samuel Badree will join New Zealand legend Daniel Vettori as the Heat’s slow bowling options for BBL|04. Badree is currently the number one ranked bowler on the ICC’s official Player Rankings, a position he has occupied since starring for the West Indies at this year’s World T20 championships in

Samuel Badree Bangladesh. The 33-year-old Physical

Education teacher from Trinidad and Tobago claimed the Windies best-ever T20 figures of 4-15 from four overs on the way to finishing with 11 wickets at 10.27 with an economy rate of 5.65. Badree is a T20 specialist who has played more than 100 Twenty20 matches and taken more than 100 wickets in his career and was a member of the victorious Chennai Super Kings squad at this month’s Champions League T20 tournament. It was his efforts for the T&T Red Steel at last year’s’ CLT20 when they

were in the same pool as the Brisbane Heat which sowed the seeds for coach Stuart Law. “Samuel bowled really well against us and throughout the Champions League, so we kept an eye on him after that,’’ he said. “He’s a different sort of leg-spin bowler but very effective.” “We know we will have two world class spinners for the majority of the tournament and we believe Samuel will bring to the table with us what he has done around the world with such success.”

“You look up his record with the West Indies and the domestic teams he has played for and it is first rate. We’re sure he is going to be keen to tick the same box with us.” Law said the Heat hoped the Trinidadian would be available for the entire BBL series. Badree and his family will join Brisbane in December ahead of the opening BBL|04 match against the Sydney Thunder at ANZ Stadium on December 21 and the Heat’s first home game against Kevin Pieters-

en’s Melbourne Stars at the Gabba on December 28. The Heat have now signed 17 of their 18 players for BBL|04, with the signing deadline to complete their roster by December 5. The Heat squad is now: Samuel Badree, Joe Burns, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, Ryan Duffield, Peter Forrest, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Dan Vettori, Shane Watson, Nathan Reardon, Cameron Gannon, Mark Steketee, Nick Buchanan, James Peirson.

Logie says Sarwan still relevant BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Ramnaresh Sarwan is far from washed up and can still feature in future West Indies’ Test teams. That’s the belief of Gus Logie, who last week drafted the stylish out-of-favour Guyana and West Indies middle order batsman into the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force side for the upcoming Professional Cricket League (PCL) in the Caribbean. “I believe so. You never say never and at 34 years old, once you are hungry enough, once you are willing to put the work in, I have no doubt his talent will come to the fore once again,” Logie said when asked in an interview following last Monday’s draft at the Accra Beach Hotel whether Sarwan can force his way back in the regional team. “Once he produces the scores, I think it is up to the West Indies selectors to give him an opportunity but at this point in time, I think he knows he is going to be here and he will want to prove his critics wrong,” noted Logie, who will coach the Red Force when the PCL bowls off on November 14 with the first round of four-day first-class matches. “I am looking forward to that motivation for him to come out there and prove everybody wrong,

what we want is players who have proven records at that level and I think people like Fidel and Sarwan have proven records at that level. “But I think the negating factor was that we still have a lot of players available to us, especially our seam attack in a playfor-pay situation. We have (Ravi) Rampaul, Kevon Cooper, so that makes it

Gus Logie that he’s a quality player and that he can produce the goods at the highest level,” added Logie. The former West Indies batsman and coach also hinted that Sarwan would provide leadership to the team in terms of his experience as a captain of many teams. “He has captained national and county teams. He comes with a wealth of experience (but) I think his general work ethic is what we are looking for him bringing and I am certain the players will warm to him.” Logie also reckons that Sarwan could be the catalyst for Trinidadian spectators returning to watch

regional cricket. “Apart from that, you look at even the commercial side of it. Having Sarwan in a country like Trinidad, where there is so much support for Guyana cricket and for Guyanese players of that sort, I think it will be a great fillip for the people to come out and see someone of his class play for Trinidad and Tobago,” noted Logie. Logie said Barbadian fast bowler Fidel Edwards, who wasn’t drafted by any of the six franchise teams, was also considered for selection. “I was also tempted to pick Fidel Edwards because Fidel again brings to the table the experience. I think

TSC, GYO, ECC and DCC victorious

TRANSPORT Sports Club (TSC), Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO), Everest Cricket Club and Demerara Cricket Club were all victorious when the latest round of matches in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/ Malta Supreme Under-13 competition was played last Sunday. TSC defeated Diplomats by 194 runs at YMCA, after scoring 328-9 off their 25 overs when asked to bat first, with Adrian Hinds leading the way with 39, while Devon Allen and Joel Prosta made 11 and 10 respectively. Anthony Kumar grabbed 2-26 for Diplomats, who suffered 19 dismissals in scoring 134 in

GYO thumped Bel Air RUBiS by 60 runs in their game, with GYO rattling up 247 taking first turn at the crease before restricting Bel Air RUBiS for 187. At GNIC, Everest handed Bel Air RUBiS another defeat, this time by 90 runs, with Bel Air managing 185 off their allotted 25 overs, but suffered 13 dismissals, batting first, as Vikash Jaikarran snared 3-7, Yeud-

DAY OF INTERACTION

ECC hosts successful event

MINISTRY of Culture, Youth and Sport/National Sports Commission held yet another Day of Interaction (DOI) at the Enterprise Community Centre ground last Sunday and had an attendance of approximately 550 persons from communities along the East Coast of Demerara. As early as 08:00hrs participants began to assemble at the venue and were addressed by Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr Frank Anthony who later declared the activities open, but not before he emphasised the importance of exercise and sport for healthy lifestyle. Dr Anthony also told the athletes that Days of Interaction are held throughout the country while Director of Sport Neil Kumar thanked the communities for participating and encouraged the athletes to continue playing sports which will help with their physical fitness and their academic education. Also present were Dr Pradeep Balram, member of the National Sports Commis-

The various sports disciplines were played at a highly

Digicel aiming to capture ‘Corporate Games’ title

… trail Wartsila by 2 points

APPROXIMATELY one week ago, several of the nation’s top business entities namely Digicel, Wartsila, Ansa McAl, Qualfon, Global Technology and Noble House Seafoods engaged in friendly sports disciplines, filled with keen rivalry, nevertheless. The games, dubbed ‘Corporate Games, included table tennis, dominoes, whist, football and cricket. These activities are being used to foster camaraderie among the staff of the participating business entities. This weekend, the action will culminate with the playing of several finals billed to take place at the Malteenoes Sports Club and Demerara Cricket Club ground, where, according to Digicel’s Sponsorship and Events Manager Gavin Hope, they (Digicel) are looking to cop the title. To date, Wartsila have amassed 10 points and are currently leading the points

Gavin Hope, standing while their closest rivals, Digicel and Ansa McAl, are in fierce pursuit, on 8 and 6 points respectively and with Hope pointing out his Company’s intention of claiming the title that has eluded them for the past four years, fierce competition is anticipated. All of the above-mentioned entities are now poised to go for broke as activities resume tomorrow when the teams compete in the semi-finals of dominoes and table tennis before battling for

top honours in the finals on Saturday, all of which will be contested at the Thomas Lands-based Malteenoes Sports Club. On Sunday, the action will switch to the Lance Gibbs Street-based Demerara Cricket Club also known as ‘Home of the Legends’, where the teams will continue the intense rivalry for supremacy, doing so in cricket along with athletics. According to Hope, this activity commenced three years ago and every year it is contested in a fierce but competitive manner in a friendly environment, giving the winning entity bragging rights for one year. Even though Wartsila are leading the points standing at the moment, Ansa McAl who are the defending champions are well known for coming from behind to take the top podium spot, but Digicel, who now sit behind Wartsila, are looking to cart off the crown this time around.

SUCCESS STORY The Guyana Softball Cup commenced in 2011 and instantly became a hit with players and fans alike, attracting massive crowds and also putting some hard-earned cash in the pockets of those who entertain with bat and ball on the field. This year promises to be even better, as the GFSCA is aiming to surpass the achievements of the previous three years in terms of spectators’ involvement and the handsome rewards at stake for the players. As was the case in previous editions of the tournament, there will be two categories - one for teams contesting the Men’s Open and the other for the Masters, aged 45 and over. The champion team in the Men’s Open are guaranteed a whopping $800 000 first prize

and a huge trophy, while the losing finalists will have to settle for $200 000 and a trophy. In the Masters division, the winning team will pocket $600 000 with the runners-up assured of $150 000. The Man-of-the-Match in both finals will receive a trophy. As has been the case in the past, the Most Valuable Player of each category will become the proud owner of a softball bracelet, made of gold and diamond studs, compliments of Steve’s Jewellery. On the day of the final, there will be lots of hampers and giveaways for spectators and additionally, two spectators can win return tickets from Survival Travel Agency to the beautiful island of Aruba. All the spectators need to do is to retain their half-tickets and listen for their numbers to be called over the public address system during the final. Two dozen teams will compete in this year’s event, with 12 from Guyana, seven from New York, three from Florida and two from Canada. During the three-day cham-

pionship, there will be a total of 36 preliminary games, followed by four semi-finals and two finals. In an effort to expand the reach of the competition and ensure maximum participation from spectators, the organisers have increased the number of venues this year. Grounds earmarked to host games are Police Sports Club, Everest Cricket Club, Georgetown Cricket Club, Demerara Cricket Club, Gandhi Youth Organisation, Muslim Youth Organisation, Enmore Community Centre and Enterprise Busta Sports Club. Trophy Stall and New York Better Hope are the defending champions of the Open and Masters categories respectively, while the previous champions were NYSCL New York (Open) and Savage Masters in 2012 and Cotton Field Wild Oats (Open) and Regal Seniors (Masters) in 2011. According to information emanating from the GFSCA, this year’s tournament has an estimated budget of around $10 million.

But at 3-6, Low Wee Wern hit a lucky winner that had Fernandes yelling – in a friendly way - in her opponent’s face and, continued the comeback to take the game 11-8. Low Wee Wern carried the momentum into the second set as she took a 5-0 lead with Fernandes constantly trying to increase the pace, but with limited success and the 24-year-

It’s such a huge event and there is a real vibe to the whole thing, It makes you want to do well here,” Fernandes had said after defeating Ireland’s Aisling Blake (11-5, 12-10, 11-5) to advance to the quarter-finals. “The season’s only just begun, but there have been lots of tournaments already,” Fernandes continued. “I had to miss the Caribbean Games, which my Federation didn’t like, but to get through in an event like this makes it worth it.”
