New Amsterdam dancer ‘Antics’ found dead in Canje House

By Jeune Bailey Van Keric POPULAR street dancer, Allan Gobin called ‘Antics’ of New Street, East Canje, was found dead at an abandoned house with marks of violence about his body.

The discovery was made by his uncle Davis Ramdyal, who went in search of his nephew, after he was not seen since Wednesday.

Ramdyal recalled ‘searching everywhere including places where his 47-year- old nephew

would go to consume alcohol.

The grieved relative recounted that as he walked along Moore Street, also in Canje, earlier, he passed by the abandoned home of his overseas based sister and noticed that the front door

was opened, but he paid no heed.

It was after he had searched other locations that he returned to the deceased mother’s house and called out for his nephew.

“I stood in the yard and called his name, but I got no

answer. I then decided to go upstairs. It was then I saw him lying on a bed. I called at him again, but there was no response. When I shook him, he was stiff.’

Initially, it was believed that the street dancer had suffered a heart attack. But the discovery of blood on the bed, led investigators to examine the body, which revealed there were injuries to the head and feet.

Meanwhile, Lalita Indranarine, a cousin of the deceased said Gobin lived at her home.

‘He was a habitual drinker and would go on drinking sprees which will extend to two to three days, After he left home on Wednesday at about 14:00 hrs and did not return I asked my uncle to go and look for him.

Allan Gobin called ‘Antics’ According to her, it was not strange for Gobin to sleep at his mother’s abandoned house since she migrated overseas.

‘It is something he would always do… he does sleep there… maybe he miss his mother…..,’ the sister said.

Police investigations are continuing.

President extends congratulations to CSEC students

- says that while there is room for improvement, it is interesting to note that good passes came from right across the country

By Ravin Singh PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar last Friday at a media briefing extended congratulations to the Guyanese students who recently sat the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations while noting that top performance was not limited to one region but came from right across Guyana including some schools in the interior regions.

According to the President, the results of this year ’s examination were much better than it was many years ago. He noted that for a while now it has been showing that investments in the education sector have been paying off.

While extending his appreciation and acknowledgement to parents and teachers of the secondary institutions, he emphasised that one of the interesting things to note is that good passes were recorded from right across Guyana. “If you look at the top 100 students, they came from right across

Guyana including some of the schools in the interior areas as well. And that is something that was unheard of 20 years ago where almost all the passes came from about four or five schools in Georgetown,” President

ranked schools because now these schools are doing exceptionally well too.

“I know that there’s a lot of room for improvement and we’re not satisfied completely with the grades but compared to the past

Secondary, Abramsville Secondary, Anna Regina Secondary, Johanna Cecelia S e c o n d a r y, Z e e b u r g , Sewartville, Leonora, West Demerara Secondary, Patentia. They’ve all done much better than in recent

city.” As a result, he is of the opinion that parents now will feel much more “confident” and “comfortable” with their children going to different schools, particularly those in their regions.

The recent release of

Ramotar stressed.

As such, the Head of State is contending that no longer will parents have to sacrifice to send their children from the “countryside” to attend schools in Georgetown, which they deem as higher

it has been a significant improvement and we hope that we can build on it. It’s very pleasing to look at that right across the area, we’ve had significant improvement in like Santa Rosa school in Region One, Aurora

times,” the President noted.

The President reiterated his point that this broad based performance emanating from all regions in the country is a “cut away from this idea that everybody has to get into one or two schools in the

the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) results and performance report revealed that schools receiving more than 80 per cent passes at this year’s examination included; Anna Regina Multilateral (Region 2); West

Demerara Secondary, Zeeburg Secondary, Leguan Secondary (Region 3); President’s College and Annandale Secondary (Region 4); J. C. Chandisingh Secondary (Region 6); Mackenzie High School (Region 10); Queen’s College, The Bishops’ High, St. Joseph’s High, St. Stanislaus College, St. Roses High, Central High and Brickdam Secondary (Georgetown).

Schools receiving between 65 to 79 per cent pass rate included; Christ Church Secondary, New Amsterdam Multilateral, Berbice High, Abram’s Zuil Secondary, Diamond S e c o n d a r y, R o s i g n o l S e c o n d a r y , Ta g o r e Memorial High, Mahaicony Secondary, Skeldon Line Path Secondary, Three Miles Secondary, Essequibo Islands Secondary and Covent Garden Secondary.

Ukraine separatist leader says rebels getting tanks and reinforcements

By Thomas Grove (REUTERS) - UKRAINIAN rebels are receiving new armoured vehicles and fighters trained in Russia, with which they plan to launch a major counter-offensive against government forces, a separatist leader said in a video released on Saturday.

The four-month conflict in eastern Ukraine has reached a critical phase, with Kiev and Western governments watching nervously to see if Russia will intervene in support of the increasingly besieged rebels - an intention Moscow denies.

Alexander Zakharchenko, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, said the rebels were in the process of receiving some 150 armoured vehicles, including 30 tanks, and 1,200 fighters who he said had spent four months training in Russia.

“They are joining at the most crucial moment,” he said in a video recorded on Friday. He did not specify where the vehicles would come from.

Moscow has come under heavy Western sanctions over its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and accusations it is supporting separatists in east Ukraine with fighters, arms and funds.

Russia denies those charges.

In a sign of concern at the latest rebel comments, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko agreed in a phone call on Saturday that deliveries of weapons to separatists in Ukraine must stop and a ceasefire must be achieved, a German government spokesman said.

Hamas says Israel must accept Palestinian demands or face long war

By Asma Alsharif and Dan Williams (REUTERS) - HAMAS rejected on Saturday as insufficient offers made in Cairo to Palestinian negotiators seeking to end Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip, and raised the possibility of renewed fighting when the current truce expires.

Israel said it had also not yet accepted any proposals made in the Egyptian-mediated talks but, like the Palestinians, its envoys would continue attending them on Sunday.

The ceasefire concludes on Monday night.

Hamas, Gaza’s dominant Islamist group, wants an Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the coastal enclave lifted, as well as the establishment of a seaport and airport, as part of any enduring cessation of hostilities with the Jewish state.

“Israel must accept the demands of the Palestinian people or face a long war,” Osama Hamdan, the head of Hamas’s foreign affairs, said on Facebook.

Israel, which launched its offensive on July 8 after a surge in cross-border Hamas rocket attacks, has shown scant interest in making sweeping concessions. The Israelis want Gaza to be disarmed under any long-term deal - something Hamas rules out.

Egypt, which is mediating between the sides and, like Israel, views Hamas as a security threat, has given little detail on any progress in the talks.

UN troops disperse Haiti protesters supporting Aristide (BBC NEWS) UN peacekeepers in Haiti have clashed with supporters of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in the Haitian capital, Portau-Prince.

Dozens of Mr Aristide’s supporters had set up barricades outside his home, fearing he could be arrested.

UN troops fired smoke grenades to disperse the protesters after a car carrying UN staff was attacked.

Mr Aristide faces charges of money laundering, but his supporters say the investigation is politically motivated.

On Wednesday, a judge issued an arrest warrant for him after he failed to appear in court for questioning about the charges, which also include corruption and drug trafficking.

However, Mr Aristide’s lawyer said his client did not go to court because he did not receive the summons.

A crowd of demonstrators, said to number around 150, blocked the route to his home with rocks and burning tyres on Thursday to prevent his arrest.

Some protesters threw stones at a car carrying UN personnel, forcing them to run to a nearby home.

“We can confirm that the UN security team rescued the two UN staff, and then peacekeeping troops cleared the protesters and their barricades, and retrieved the UN vehicle using smoke grenades and armoured vehicles,” a UN official told the BBC. Correspondents say Mr Aristide is seen as a champion of the poor, and remains popular with many in Haiti.

He was Haiti’s first freely elected president in 200 years of independence, but was ousted following an uprising in 2004.

He spent seven years in exile in South Africa before returning to the country in 2011.

UN peacekeepers were deployed to restore order after the 2004 uprising, and more than 10,000 uniformed personnel remain on the ground.

The mission has drawn controversy, including allegations of excessive force.

Brazil: Marina Silva ‘to replace’ late candidate Campos (BBC NEWS) THE former Brazilian Environment Minister, Marina Silva, is expected to be named in the next few days to run for president in October.

She would replace former presidential candidate, Eduardo Campos, who was killed in a plane crash on Wednesday.

A close adviser to Ms Silva, Bazileu Margarido, told the

Ms Silva had decided to run for vice-president alongside Mr Campos after the Electoral Court in October 2013 refused to register her political movement, Rede Sustentabilidade (The Sustainability Network).

She fell out with the Workers’ Party government and left office to run against Ms Rousseff in 2010.

An environmentalist and devout evangelical, Ms Silva polled surprisingly well, coming third with nearly 20% of the vote.

Ms Rousseff, who is running for re-election in October, is the front-runner. On Sunday, the first opinion polls showing Ms Silva as candidate will be published in Brazil.

The first round of the presidential election will take place on 5 October and will go to a second round later that month if no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes.

Ms Silva and Mr Campos announced their alliance in October 2013 The other main candidate is Aecio Neves, a current senBBC that she had agreed to run. ator who will represent the Brazilian Social Democracy But the decision still needs to be officially approved by Party (PSDB).

Mr Campos’s Socialist Party (PSB).

The Socialists - the major partner in the opposition coalition established to run against President Dilma Rousseff - are expected to announce their decision after a meeting on Wednesday.

GUYANA

A PLUS FOR COMBATING NARCO-TRAFFICK CRIME THE DISCOVERY last Thursday by vigilant local anti-narcotics authorities of a sophisticated vessel associated with drug trafficking is expected to hasten arrangements for the proposed establishment in Guyana of an operational office by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Both President Donald Ramotar and the US Embassy in Georgetown have separately expressed interest in the seizure of the vessel in a creek off the Waini River.

Further, the President took the opportunity on Friday to reaffirm his Government’s interest for the opening of the DEA’s of-

fice in this country. It is a project in which Guyana has long demonstrated its interest. Now it seems set to become a reality soon to judge from recent positive US responses.

Narco-trafficking and gun-related crimes have long plagued member countries of our Caribbean Community. And it is

evident that with the Caribbean Sea and air space being used for ferrying illegal drugs, like cocaine and marijuana, to major consuming destinations such as the USA and Europe, mutual cooperation is absolutely essential to significantly arrest the spreading problems.

Members of the Cus-

toms Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Defence Force did well in the discovery and seizure of the vessel that revealed features associated with a submarine. Its capture is further proof of the sophisticated approaches being pursued by narco-traffickers and gun-smugglers to profit from their daring criminal

pursuits that add to the skyrocketing murder rates.

In the circumstances, the recent disclosure of President Barack Obama’s approval for the establishment of the proposed DEA office in Guyana assumes a new significance and the hope is that this project could become a reality within the next two months.

The legacy of Sri Krishna SRI Krishna’s message has been an eternal source of inspiration, not only to spiritual aspirants, but also to patriots and philanthropists, social and religious reformers, politicians, and leaders of people. He has been a model of perfection, a nation-builder, a creator of unity among diverse creeds, a friend of the lowly and down-trodden, a sworn enemy of the wicked and a saviour of the virtuous; an embodiment of love, grace, and beauty on the one hand, and of power, glory and magnificence on the other.

Sri Krishna represents the Soul of Hinduism. It was He who synthesized the ideals of disinterested Action (Karma Yoga), Knowledge (Jnaana Yoga), and Devotion (Bhakti Yoga). He preached the doctrine of harmony among all sects. It was He who pronounced once and for all the reason for God incarnating Himself in the famous verses: “Whenever there is a decline of (Dharma) Righteousness, and a rise of (A-Dharma) un-righteousness, then I body Myself forth. For the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked, I come into being from age to age.” (Gita 4: 7-8).

Sri Krishna was more than a religious reformer, because He came not to destroy

or condemn those who came before Him, but to fulfill their teachings. He declares that all faiths ultimately lead to the same goal, and that the different paths which people follow are all His Pathways.

“Howsoever men seek Me, even so do I approach them; for all persons follow My path in every way.” (Gita 4:11).

Sri Krishna’s life was His message; He practiced what He preached. He is the very embodiment of the ideal of Karma Yoga. He teaches that we must remain unperturbed by any circumstances, and accept success or failure with an even mind and calm spirit. We should perform our duties, which are determined according to our individual tastes, temperaments and capacities. Our actions must not be motivated by our greed for personal name, fame, or fortune, but by the desire to do good to others. In this way, we must set an example for others to follow and leave our foot-prints in the sands of time, which will guide them too on the path of duty. Lord Krishna says that the leaders have a greater burden in this regard.

“Whatever a great man does, that very thing other men do; whatever standard he sets up, the general public

follow.” (Gita 3: 21).

Common people imitate the standards set by leaders of society. They are the path-makers who blaze the trail that other people follow. They set the standard which ordinary people take.

The light generally comes through individuals who are in advance of society. They see the light shining on the mountain heights while their fellows sleep in the valley below. They are the salt of the earth, the light of human communities. They set themselves ablaze in the fire of sacrifice that their light may clearly show the path.

Sri Krishna teaches that our every action ought to be a Yajna, a form of worship.

“Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer as oblation, whatever you bestow as gift, whatever you do as penance – offer it all to Me.” (Gita 9: 27).

By declaring that those who work only to satisfy their own taste and appetite are selfish and committing sin, He is giving us a pattern of socialism which is religious in outlook and truly Hindu.

It is only selfless interest in our duties that will lead us to Jnaana or Self-knowledge.

Self-giving results in the consecration of all acts to God. The tide of our common

tasks of daily life must flow through the worship of God. Love of God is not an escape from the harshness of life, but a dedication for service to God and humanity.

“You have the right to work, but never to gather the fruits thereof; let not the consequences of work be your incentive, nor let there be tendency to inactivity.”

This is the ideal of Karma Yoga, as embodied in the Gita, which has inspired thousands of men and women to fulfill their duty regardless of the consequences.

“To thine own self be true,” says Shakespeare in Hamlet. Here, a father is advising his son to follow his swadharma, or prescribed, natural duties. Lord Krishna advises that it is better to perform one’s own prescribed duties, even imperfectly, than to do with perfection the duties prescribed for another.

The Law of Karma declares that we are the builders of our own destiny. We are not only the results of our past deeds, but by our own present deeds we are also building our future. So, Sri Krishna declares: “A person should uplift himself by his own efforts, and should never despair or degrade himself; for his own self is his friend, and again his very self can be

his own enemy.” (Gita 6: 5).

Lord Sri Krishna teaches us to avoid excesses and practise moderation in everything. In Gita 6:16-17, He says: “Yoga, (spiritual discipline), which rids one of miseries, is not meant for those who eat too much, who sleep or keep awake too much, nor for those who indulge in unnecessary and long fasting.

Yoga takes away the sorrows of those who are moderate in their eating and recreation, moderate in all their actions.”

He prescribes the Golden Mean – the Middle Path.

According to philosophers, virtue is a mean between two extremes. The middle path is the solution to life; neither asceticism on the one hand, nor license and perversion on the other hand. Everything is for use, and everything must be used wisely in order to be fully enjoyed.

The last word of Sri Krishna recommends complete resignation to the will of God. Egoism must be totally sacrificed. “Give Me your whole heart; love and adore Me; worship Me always; bow only to Me. In this way you shall find Me. This I promise you, for you are exceptionally dear to Me. This is the promise of the Merciful Lord Sri Krishna to all mankind. In Krishna, there

is hope for redemption. The ultimate mystery, the Supreme Teaching is repeated here.

Thought, Worship, Sacrifice and Reverence – all must be directed to the Lord. We must let ‘ourselves’ go in a simple, sustained and trustful surrender of oneself to God, and open ourselves out to Him. Our spiritual life depends as much on our going to Him, as well as on his coming to us. It is not only our ascent to God, but also His descent to man.

The Bhagavad Gita has influenced millions of people. Sri Krishna’s name rings down the corridor of history. He has stamped His name perhaps on the most marvelous civilisation of the ages. Sri Krishna, from His humble seat in a chariot, has moved India. He will move the world, and all those who study Him. A hundred kingdoms have crumbled; and innumerable relics of ancient art and memorials of kings and statesmen are gone. Krishna has stamped His name upon the life and culture of the Hindus. In Krishna, there appeared the force of the Avataara, in all its glory. The Word did not remain a word, but became a living, moving reality. In Krishna, the Gita has become incarnate as a redemptive Power of Life.

How do you manage your limited resources?

By Keith Burrowes

WITH all the talk we have been hearing recently about the global financial crisis, and the measures being taken on the international as well as national levels to make sure that billions of dollars are saved or at least are not wasted, I have seen little about managing money on the individual or household level.

We live in a culture where the prevailing attitude is that – because we do not have a “sophisticated” economy – there is less of a need to engage in budgeting and financial planning, outside of the mainstream business sector.

The need for greater personal awareness of how to manage money was brought home to me recently when an associate of mine retired; this person and his family were forced to drastically change their lifestyle, something they had difficulty adapting to, because they had not planned adequately for the drastically reduced level of income in the post-retirement period.

In times of less economic hardship, the ambivalent attitude towards money management that seems to pervade Guyana might not be a big deal; but in the current economic environment, financial management is almost inevitable as is the case in other parts of the world.

In the United States of America for example, financial management has reached such a level of sophistication that it has begun to even parody itself. An excellent example of this is the development of the term “recessionista”, by New York resident, Mary Hall to describe someone who manages to look good in hard times. “Recessionista” is a merger of the words “recession” and “fashionista,” the first self-explanatory, the second itself a newly coined term for someone always at the cutting edge of fashion.

While the “recessionista” phenomenon might seem on the lighter side of all the economic gloom and doom that have been present across the world, for me it illustrates two things, both in contrast to the situation that obtains here. The first is that someone is finding a creative way of adjusting to the financial crisis; the second, that it is a woman who is doing so.

In Guyana, men have traditionally dominated most spheres, and within relationships, are usually the ones in whom the authority is vested for the management of personal finances within the home. Indeed, at a time when domestic abuse has been very much in the news, it could be argued that this de facto denial of knowledge can be construed to be a non-violent form of abuse.

I believe that if it is not the trend already, there is the

potential within this situation for a great many women to not only be without a proper grasp of a relatively unsophisticated financial system as ours is, but also can result in them being unaware of the transactions which affect them directly.

A sad example of this situation was when I had first-hand observation of a case in which a widow was at the risk of losing her property; the only indication she had that money was outstanding on it was her receipt of a letter which informed her the bank was about to levy on her home. Her husband had died without fully disclosing their financial situation to her. The tragic thing is that this was not an isolated case. I believe that this leaves women particularly vulnerable to the worst effects of the present unpleasant financial environment.

There is the scope for an initiative whereby women’s groups can help empower the female folk by not only helping them manage in the event of a spouse’s death which leaves them financially stranded, but also to teach them the basics of financial management while the significant other is still around.

Generally, a culture in which there is a greater awareness of the basics of individual or domestic financial management – even the financial management of small businesses – can only work to the benefit of everyone. Now I’m aware that financial institutions offer ready advice to their clientele, but at the end of the day, that advice is only offered within the parameters of the services that any institution is offering.

A bank, for example, would offer financial advice which will directly link to ensuring the facility is repaid within the required time frame. For example, if a client applies for a car loan, the lending agency will advise that client on the best system of repayment he or she can opt for in taking out a loan for a new car; the institution will not advise the eligible customer not to buy the car, even though there is the likelihood that the car is not the best option for the client in relation to his other commitments. At the basis of all this is the clear presentation of all options to the average citizen and assisting them in decision-making. For example, helping the lower-income person to realise that the seemingly easy hire purchase terms in acquiring the new fridge will see him paying perhaps as much as 300 percent of what he would have paid if he had saved and bought the item at the retail price. Another example- and this is a looming problem for a higher income bracket- is the increasing prevalence of credit cards – persons in more prosperous economies have had to file for bankruptcy because of succumbing to the temptation of credit card use; the potential for digging a hole of credit card debt here has much greater implications given the rel-

7

ative earning power here.

Perhaps the best approach, in my estimation, in changing the current situation is the creation of a programme of financial management advocacy.

I know that there are already entities such as the Chambers of Commerce, GMA, and Small Business Association which provide advice to small businessKEITH BURROWES es. Additionally, niche organisations such as the Rice Producers Association have played an integral role in helping small-scale farmers.

There is a gap, however, relative to advice offered to the average householder. This is where collaboration between entities such as the Guyana Consumer Affairs Association and the media houses can be helpful. The range of advice can be varied from assisting low-income families to balance their monthly budget, to counselling small business owners on best accounting practices.

One area of particular concern is the home construction industry. Guyana has experienced a housing boom in recent years, with many first-time home owners expending a sizeable chunk of their hard-earned incomes in a sector in which many contractors have no scruples in exploiting their clients’ ignorance. An awareness programme – within the overall theme of providing financial management assistance – geared at educating people who have interest in constructing their homes about material costs, engagement of labour, etcetera could potentially save new home owners millions of dollars.

Next week, I will endeavour to look at another issue in which greater awareness could lead to not only better management of your money but other aspects of your life as well: ignorance of the law. How many people, for example, are stopped by traffic officers for offences that warrant only a ticket but are presented with an overblown scenario that involves them becoming an unnecessary (and undocumented) few thousand dollars poorer? Of course before I could adequately pronounce on this issue, I have to seek legal advice.

Recently I’ve read that there’s a move towards establishing a bank that would cater for the less fortunate countries. It is my hope that consideration will be given to the establishment of such a bank.

NO RETURN TO RIGGED ELECTIONS IN GUYANA - thoughts on PPP’s warning and GECOM’s assurance

Analysis by Rickey Singh

IT HAS been a long time since a major party in Guyana opted to go public with the serious claim of “electoral padding” of the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) compiled by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for new national elections.

But precisely such an allegation was made in a media statement last week by the General Secretary of the governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP, Mr. Clement Rohee.

Also current high profile Minister of Home Affairs, Rohee went further with a promise to make available to GECOM the relevant information obtained on “electoral padding” with the expectation that the problem would be speedily and seriously addressed by the Commission.

Well, as is widely known, under the Peoples National Congress (PNC) long reign of state power-based on documented evidence of rigged national elections-allegations of “electoral padding” for national elections was the norm that made a mockery of electoral democracy.

It is, therefore, quite encouraging to learn, via GECOM’s Deputy Chief Elections Officer, Vishnu Persaud, that while the Commission has good reasons to say the current Preliminary List of Electors was “safe” (meaning, I assume, free of political skullduggery), it would await the promised report of specific problems referenced by the PPP’s General Secretary.

I am reasonably familiar with the functioning of the sevenmember Commission--an independent constitutional body. I think I also know something of the particular competence and integrity of its chairman, Dr Steve Surujablly, in addition to a few of the commissioners, of the PPP and PNC. According to media reports out of Georgetown there appears to be some tension in current relations between the administration of President Donald Ramotar and the Commission’s chairman.

Assuming the accuracy of such reports, it is to be hoped that both would correct this impression following the release of the approved preliminary list of verified electors.

The people of Guyana cannot afford ANY brand of political rascality that smacks of governance based on rigged elections. And the PNC’s activists of Region 10 who were also delegates at the party’s 18th biennial congress cannot now be

a party to any kind of electoral fraud.

Barbados/T&T politics Meanwhile, hilarious or worrying as they may be for those directly involved, the reality is that multi-party politicking continues to dominate public life in these Caribbean Community states. And surprises, painful and otherwise, are guaranteed.

Hence in Barbados, a former dynamic leader and threeterm Prime Minister can walk away from the party of which he has been a member for 43 unbroken years with a public pledge “never to return.”

In this regard, mark one for Mr. Owen Arthur, a respected economist and former articulate crusader for the Caribbean Community as an economic integration movement.

Across in neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Winston Dookeran, an economist and former Central Bank Governor, currently Foreign Minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is burdened with his own political disenchantment.

Having voted, as he said he would, against the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2014 in the House of Representatives last Wednesday, he may well have decided to demonstrate more of an independent position between now and new general elections by June next year, and not later than September.

A founder-leader of the Congress of Peoples (COP), which secured six seats at the last general election for the 41-member House of Representatives, comfortably dominated by the United National Congress of Prime Minister Kamla PersadBissessar, Dookeran, once a key representative of the UNC had broken ranks to form the COP ahead of the 2010 general elections.

The Constitution Amendment Bill, otherwise viewed as a path-setting legislation to enhance parliamentary democracy, includes the right to recall parliamentarians as well as term limits for Prime Ministers. It also provides for so-called “runoff” polls when contestants fail to secure more than 50 percent of the valid votes in any constituency.

Ironically, while Dookeran voted against the bill, his successor as COP leader, Prakash Ramadhar, lawyer by profession, remains quite firm in his support, even as Prime

Minister Persad-Bissessar, had publicly declared that all government MPs were “free” to vote as they choose and so they overwhelmingly did.

The Senate is scheduled to meet on August 26 when the focus of attention would be on the voting by six independent senators. The indication points to approval, as happened in the elected House of Representatives.

BLP “lost its way”?

Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Arthur, who resigned last month from the Barbados Labour Party, with which he had cut his political teeth. He did so amid then prevailing wide protests against the government’s controversial Solid Waste Tax (as reported on earlier in this column).

Arthur’s stunning claim to rationalise his departure from the BLP-one of CARICOM’s oldest parties-was that it “has lost its way and has lost its soul…”

What a startling indictment—the validity of which is yet to be clearly articulated-by Arthur, the politician who now sits on the front-bench in parliament slightly apart from government MPs in the House of Assembly. Among those MPs are ones who have been chorusing their ridicule of Arthur as both Prime Minister and Opposition Leader.

Question of relevance being raised, and not just by faithful members of the BLP-one of the oldest parties of the Caribbean-but others of divergent political affiliations as well.

That painful question is whether it is Mr. Arthur-former dynamic party leader and three-term Prime Minister who may really “have lost his way”-by his dramatic “walk away” from the party with which he had spent 43 of his 64 years?

In our CARICOM Region a few other major parties have been varyingly affected by leadership problems, some resulting in splits and creation of new parties. Examples would most decidedly include Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Jamaica, Dominica, Grenada and St. Lucia.

The AFC/APNU no-confidence motion has limited democratic legitimacy (Part 2)

SOME ordinary folks believe that the combined Opposition AFC/APNU no-confidence proposal is a joke. They believe that the no-confidence vote triggering a general and regional election will not change anything because of a possible recurrence of the same electoral equation in Parliament. And there is the view that AFC and APNU in Parliament should devote their energies toward keeping Guyana first and not consistently set out to decimate the PPP/C Government’s capital projects; and a further view that the constant hustle to bring the Government to its knees would accrue few positive dividends.

Indeed, the PPP/C Government can opt to call an election prior to any parliamentary debate on the no-confidence proposal. However, regardless of who or what triggers the calling of an election, ordinary people recognise that the PPP/C Government has a mandate from the electorate for five years to execute a programme, with which apparently APNU/ AFC Opposition does not find favour.

Any Opposition can and should have the right to bring a no-confidence proposal against any government, only if its hands are clean, in that it has not willfully obstruct the Government’s developmental programmes, an obstruction that would certainly mean working against ordinary people.

On many occasions, APNU and AFC with a one-seat majority in Parliament have flexed their muscles relentlessly to reduce the PPP/C Government’s executive power to exercise its mandate; and now there is the AFC and APNU’s dangling of the no-confidence trick as their latest ploy.

Last week’s Perspectives alluded to the limited democratic legitimacy of the AFC/APNU no-confidence proposal. This view of limited legitimacy arises out of the Opposition’s desperation to smell the leather, as it sets out each day to put a brake on everything the Government does; and in the process showing no concern for the crisis consuming the poor and vulnerable through its own veritable action.

some sense of an opposition’s responsibilities, thus: “The role of the Opposition in a well-regulated representative Government is not limited to spying on the behaviour of the Government and to finding out and proclaiming its faults. Its principal mission is perhaps to point out improvements, to call for reforms that society is capable of accepting … Free of the weight of affairs, exempt from the immediate and definite responsibility that goes with governing, the Opposition generally takes the lead and proceeds boldly toward a more perfect civilisation.

It points out the possible benefits and achievements. It urges and exhorts the Government to move forward for the good of the country” (1).

An Opposition becomes effective when it is not happy only to condemn Governmental actions; if the François Guizot Opposition is a genuine counter power, then it is beholden to the people to convince them that its “The role of the Opposition in a well-regulated representative position is correct and that of Government is not limited to spying on the behaviour of the the Government is wrong (2).

It points out the possible benefits and does is of no value to the people. achievements. It urges and exhorts the Government to move Substantive and evidence-based forward for the good of the country.” criticisms are not part of the Opposition’s repertoire in the legislature. And even with the The Opposition’s no-confidence proposal represents AFC/APNU no-confidence proposal, really a smokescreen, a rush to judgment; it takes no ownership for the possible there is to wit, no substance that is necessary for establishing consequences of that action; and in so doing, the Opposition democratic legitimacy and no convincing argument that the shirks its responsibility to the nation, thereby evading no-confidence proposal is the right thing to do. fulfilment of its political function; François Guizot brings The only legitimacy that the Opposition can claim is the

one to do with number, that is, having the one-seat majority symbolises its representation of the will of the majority. But this legitimacy, by itself, is insufficient as the legitimacy

of any Opposition’s action is constantly examined on a case by case basis; and, therefore, on this occasion, there is mounting need for a substantial legitimacy to show whether the Opposition’s no-confidence proposal is for the common good and whether that no-confidence proposal acknowledges fundamental national values; and where elections singlehandedly cannot provide that substantial legitimacy (2). Of course, Governments, too, have to meet the requirements of achieving substantial legitimacy in formulating and implementing their policy programmes.

The critical question is whether the AFC/APNU noconfidence proposal is something good for the country and whether it is in the country’s interests; if the answer to this question is in the negative, then the combined Opposition does not have sufficient legitimacy to advance the no-confidence proposal. The no-confidence proposal also has to be assessed within the context of the downsizing and practical termination of some PPP/C Government’s capital projects.

In fact, APNU and AFC also may lack substantial legitimacy in their parliamentary actions to practically suppress Government’s capital programmes. Today in many societies, with sheer diversification of issues for development, the political function must embrace a ‘substantial’ legitimacy that extends beyond number (majority). Guyana’s democratic legitimacy in Government and Opposition needs to follow this new roadmap toward attaining substantial legitimacy. And at this time, the combined Opposition AFC/APNU’s noconfidence proposal has limited legitimacy, as its basis is ‘number’.

Guyana clinches rice export deal with Panama

11

-5,000 tonnes of rice per month to be shipped

By Vanessa Narine

GUYANA is positioned to become the most important player in the rice market of Panama, according to Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, following the inking of a deal that will see Guyana supplying 5,000 tonnes of rice to Panama on a monthly basis, beginning from September.

At a press briefing yesterday at the Guyana Rice Development Board’s (GRDB) head office, Kingston Georgetown, he explained that Panama’s rice imports currently stand at 150,000 tonnes annually, an addition to their own rice production.

He noted that the rice deal, which was signed by the Panama’s Vice-Minister of Agriculture, Estebana Giron Dias, and the GRDB General Manager, Mr. Jagnarine Singh, will see Guyana exporting 50,000 tonnes, of the 150,000 tonnes, to Panama.

The agreement was signed last Thursday, at the Office of the Minister of Agriculture in Panama City and followed a meeting in Colombia between the Presidents of Guyana and Panama. The two leaders met as Presidents for the first time in Columbia on Wednesday last, August 6. President Varela was sworn in as President of Panama on July 2nd 2014.

A team led by Dr. Ramsammy concluded successful meetings with officials of the Government of Panama that resulted in Guyana being given meaningful access to the Panamanian market. The other members on the team included General Manager of the GRDB, Mr. Jagnarine Singh and General Secretary of the Rice Producers Association, Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj.

The remaining 100,000 tonnes, according to Dr. Ramsammy, can be supplied by Guyana’s private sector, since the two Governments agreed on levelling the playing field for Guyanese companies to be able to bid to supply the remaining tonnage. Presently, Panama’s private sector controls the local food market, making it an open market.

“I have no doubt that our private sector will be successful in bidding to supply the 100,000 tonnes,” he said, adding his assurance that the private sector will have facilitation support for the exportation from the GRDB. The Agriculture Minster added that new contracts for 2015 are to be negotiated on satisfactory conclusion of these initial contracts.

MEETING EXPORT TARGETS Dr. Ramsammy contends that the rice deal with Panama will not only see Guyana gaining “meaningful entrance” into a significant market on a long term basis, but will also increase the likelihood of Guyana’s rice export target being met.

“Because of this deal, the original target of reaching 500,000-tonne export by 2020 has a real chance of happening in 2014,” he said.

The Agriculture Minister highlighted that it is expected that Guyana’s export for 2014 will surpass the 300,000 mark by end of August, the earliest time it has ever been able to reach 300,000 tonnes.

With this new export for 2014, Guyana is expected to export between 475,000 to 500,000 tons for 2014 and to reach about 550,000 tons in 2015. The actual export target for 2014 was 460,000 tons. The export in 2013 was 394,000 tons.

“While production level will reach the 2020 target of 600,000 tons this year, the Government of Guyana’s effort has ensured that our market expansion programme also is keeping a close upward trajectory with increased production,” he said.

Engagements with Panama have been ongoing for the last 18 months, however, Dr. Ramsammy acknowledge that the actual finalisation of the rice deal was due to the meeting between the two Presidents.

Carlos Varela to ensure a lower cost of living for Panamanians.

He stated that the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Agriculture and the GRDB, and in collaboration with the Guyana Rice Producers’ Association (RPA), has been working diligently to expand market for Guyana’s rice and paddy to overseas markets.

“At the meeting, the President of Panama was very assertive in describing Panama’s commitment to strengthening ties with Guyana and CARICOM and the agreement to allow Guyana to be a supplier of rice to Panama is a concrete example of how south-south cooperation can be accelerated.

He expressed his determination to ensure that the people of Panama are able to access food at an affordable price and he sees the agreement between his Government and the Government of Guyana as one way to keep his commitment to the people of Panama to lower the cost of living,” Dr. Ramsammy said.

months.

The MOU gives effect to the intention of President Donald Ramotar and President Juan Carlos Varela of Panama to develop stronger ties between Guyana and Panama and between CARICOM and Central America – an issue that constituted broader discussions during their August 6 meeting in Columbia.

Dr. Ramsammy expressed his optimism for the continued progress in the local agriculture sector.

GREATER COLLABORATION The rice contract signed with the Government of Panama is a part of a larger agriculture cooperation agreement with Panama.

The Agriculture Minister disclosed too that Guyana signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Panama for collaboration in the development of agriculture and trade between the two countries, one an agriculture giant in CARICOM, and the other a trade and economic hub in Central America.

The MOU is intended to facilitate a partnership between the two countries for scientists and agricultural research institutions to work collaboratively to enhance agriculture and trade between the countries and with other CARICOM and Central American countries.

The areas identified for the collaboration include, but are not limited to, rice, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, fish and other fields related to agriculture. The activities and programmes of cooperation will be achieved through exchange of delegations of experts, scientists and technicians, seed crops and animal breeds, information and technical documents, trade in agriculture products, joint organisation of technical seminars, workshops and conferences, coordination of research projects of interest to both countries, among others.

Dr. Ramsammy noted that a Panamanian delegation is expected to visit Guyana in October for the Guyana’s first agriculture research conference. Subsequent to this, a working group, established to ensure the success of the bilateral engagements, is expected to make exchange visits every six

MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL Dr. Ramsammy added that the signing of the new contracts to supply rice to Panama, through the Governmentto-Government arrangement, is also mutually beneficial, in that it: * Ensures that Guyana’s rice market continues to expand, even as production has increased significantly; and * Is in line with the move by Panama’s President Juan

Hindus observe Janma Ashtmi today

JANMA Ashtmi, which is being observed today, a Hindu festival that marks the birth of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu Bhagwan. Krishna JanmaAshtmi is observed on the eight Tithi of the dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Bhadrapad.

Baby Krishna was born at midnight to Vasudev and Devki, who were imprisoned by the cruel Kamsa. Lord Krishna put Kamsa to his demise and re-established peace and stability on the face of the earth. For devotees, this important "birthday" marks the triumph of good over evil.

Sweet devotion percolate, permeate, penetrate and saturate the hearts and souls of Lord Krishna’s devotees all over the world as they extoled His wonderful name and sing His praises on the occasion of Janma Ashtmi.

A birthday is always a special occasion, in that it marks out for us on an annual basis, our growth and development as human beings. It is a day every year, especially as we grow older when we are able to look back over the last year in particular and the previous years in general and to

Lord krishna honestly ask, how purposefully have we used the gift of human existence. How well have I used the gift of my human existence depends on how I see the value of my being born in the first instance. In the Bhagavad-Gita – C: 4 V: 7-8, Lord Krishna gives purpose for his own incarnation when he says: “Whenever there is a decline in righteousness, I manifest myself for the protection of the good, for the destruction of the evildoers and for the re-establishment of virtue and righteousness; I am born from age to age.”

Every human being requires an ideal standard against which to judge his/her behaviours and as well his/her purpose.

In defining the reason for his birth the Lord also gives us an opportunity to understand the purpose of our births. When we know that purpose we are able to direct the course of our lives accordingly.

life

Lord Krishna gives the following reasons: (1) Protection of the good (2) Destruction of evil (3) Re-establishing righteousness and a virtuous way of

These reasons are also given by Shri Ram in the Ramayana: The quality of life we live and the experiences we have are determined by the vision we have of our purpose. If that vision is one of protection of that which is good, eliminating that which is evil and ensuring that virtue, morality and righteousness prevail, then with such an entrenched and ingrained vision, two things become a reality. Our lives become filled with behaviours that promote and reflect goodness and virtue, and secondly, by being exemplars of goodness and virtue, we provide the model against which others including our children and families would fashion their behaviours.

No one wants to experience unhappiness and sorrow, indeed, we all wish to be joyous and have pleasurable

experiences. The reality is that by our choices we are the source of our joys and sorrows. All outcomes are created by us and us alone. How to achieve constant and unbroken happiness, even as we continue to live and work in the world is the major challenge to human existence.

Life cannot just be about the satisfaction of wants, needs and desires. If it were, then man would be happy after achieving material abundance.

The fact that human beings continue to be dissatisfied despite material abundance, that the human being continues to suffer and experience an emptiness despite pleasure satisfaction, heralds the existence of a higher purpose of human existence, the discovery of which alone can bring unbroken unhappiness.

Therefore let us use the occasion of Krishna Janma Ashtmi for self-introspection, self-analysis and self-examination and

quietly ask ourselves the question, have I lend purpose to my life? Is there a reason why I came on earth? Certainly we will move to construct a society where people of all shades of opinions and estimations can work in a cohesive effort to build a better world.

Lord Krishna’s perpetual grace and blessings.

Happy Janma Ashtmi!

The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha in observance of the occasion will be holding special satsangha today at the Rama Krishna Mandir in Barr Street, Kitty, the Shri Krishna Mandir in Campbellville and the Ocean View Mandir on the West Coast Demerara at 20:00hrs, 19:00hrs and 17:00hrs respectively.

Decision on no-confidence motion will be made at the appropriate time-President Ramotar

By Ravin Singh

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar contends that any decision related to the no-confidence motion submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs, by the Alliance For Change (AFC), will be made at the “appropriate” time.

“The question of the noconfidence motion that is ahead of us, you know, I like to make decisions when the time has come for me to make decisions, and that time has not reached for me as yet to decide; if I should wait for a no-confidence vote, or if I should call the election myself. So, that time hasn’t yet approached. And who knows, everything changes in life, and politics even faster. I will make my decision when I think it is appropriate to do so,” he said on Friday at a press conference held at the Office of the President.

The notion of a noconfidence motion was first voiced by the AFC’s Vice Chairman, Moses Nagamootoo, in midJune. Nagamootoo had

indicated that the party was considering the movement of a no-confidence motion against the Government.

Nagamootoo, in an article published in the Stabroek News, under the headline ‘AFC considering noconfidence motion against Gov’t’, said such a move is seriously being contemplated by his party. However, he acknowledged that a noconfidence motion would have to be supported by the main Opposition. Last Friday, APNU endorsed this possibility as a serious consideration. The Opposition Leader Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger subsequently confirmed APNU’s support for the AFC’s no-confidence motion against the Government.

The first page of the noconfidence motion reads: “Be it resolved that this National Assembly has no confidence in the Government.”

According to the President, there are many factors to consider before a decision on the way forward can be made relative to the no-confidence motion.

“It is not one thing I will

have to wait on. In politics there are many things, and many, many factors that have to be considered. Of course, that is an important aspect,” he said.

The President stated too that his administration has never been opposed to talks with the Combined Opposition on the way forward, pointing out that the “ball is in their” court.

He said: “The Opposition put this motion in the National Assembly.

We have never been averse to any talks. We have never closed the doors on any talks. Really, the ball is completely in the court of the Opposition.”

“It is not we who brought the no-confidence motion… if they want to talk, we are never averse to speaking, in fact, we encourage it, we believe that discussion and dialogue is better.”

The President was clear in highlighting that the Opposition has a constitutional right to bring a no-confidence motion, as they have done.

“We are ready to face the consequences of these things,

so that’s all I would say at this time.”

If snap elections are not called before a debate on

President Donald Ramotar the no-confidence motion, the current administration is expected to be disbanded in preparation for a return to the polls.

Section 106 (6) of the Constitution states that: “The Cabinet and President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of the majority of all Members of

the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.”

However, the following paragraph, Section 106 (7) makes clear that: “Notwithstanding its defeat, the Government shall remain in office and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall, by resolution, supported by no less than two-thirds of all elected members of the National Assembly, and shall resign after a new President takes the oath of office following the election.”

The Head of State also addressed the readiness of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to host either a general or local government election and pointed out that the Commission could “very well be more ready” for the former.

“With a local government election there is a different procedure that has to be going through with local government election. With local government elections they have to create boundaries and all of that. The last time I had a discussion

with an official from the Elections Commission, they were telling me that whenever the Government or the administration wants to announce the date for local government elections, they need six months to, but I don’t think the same thing would apply to a national election,” President Ramotar said.

The President was emphatic in stressing that the ruling party is not a seasonal political party, but one that continuously engages the Guyanese people.

“We have never stopped reaching out to people.

From the time the party was formed, we have always been among the people. So yes, we would like to continue to work. It is every single day that we are among the people.

Its every single day we are working among the people.

Whether it is election time or not election time, the PPP is not a seasonal party…. so we are always among the people.

That is not an issue for us,” he concluded.

The last general elections in Guyana were held in November 2011.

Controlling Dust and Odour in Swine Rearing INTENSIVE Swine Production (rearing pigs in pens) generates odorous emissions from the buildings which house the animals in addition to other numerous substances such as ammonia, methane and nitrous oxide, bio-aerosols as well as dust particles which originate mainly from feces; pig feed can also absorb and concentrate odorants in swine facilities.

Odour emission from swine facilities is a common concern raised by the general public. Air pollution especially airborne dust in pig houses can cause serious health problems for us humans as well as for the animals.

Effective management of swine rearing facilities will help to reduce air pollution.This week we will look at what can be

done to help mitigate odours.

away from inhabited areas).

* Adhere to guidelines: Apply all recommended measures concerning waste management. * Odour Absorbers: Pens may have ground covers such as sawdust to absorb odour. * Effective Water Management techniques: Watering ponds for free ranging swine should have an inlet and outflow drain and should be regularly flushed to prevent stagnation. * Ventilation: Pens should be well ventilated to avoid the build-up of the ammonia scent.

10 Ways to Eliminate Odour and Dust Emission Location: Consider setting up facilities some distance away from neighbours. Spread of odour and wind direction should be integral when choosing the ideal location (at least 50m or 164ft from nearest residence). * Composting: Consider composting of manure to reduce odour emissions.

* Weather Conditions: Reduce emissions and odours during land application activities by applying the manure a few centimetres below the soil surface and by selecting favourable weather conditions (e.g. wind blowing

* Hydrate Animals: Provide animals with adequate water to alleviate the concentration of the ammonia in the urine. * Dust Collection & Control Techniques: Install dustcollection systems at dusty operations, such as feed grinding.

Implement -dust-control measures, such as wetting frequently travelled dirt roads, as necessary. * Regulate movement of Animals: Free ranging swine operations should be sectioned off to allow the animals access to one area whilst the vegetation in the other is re-growing. A

vegetative buffer zone should be established and maintained around the boundary of the pen to prevent dust emissions from escaping.

Rohee engages GDF ranks on Nation Building

GENERAL Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, met with ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) on Thursday last at the Army’s Headquarters, Camp Ayangana.

Mr. Rohee was invited in his capacity as General Secretary of the PPP to address ranks attending the GDF’s Senior Command and Staff Course. The General Secretary on behalf of the PPP congratulated the participants on their future endeavours and success in the course.

He addressed many issues during his almost three-hour long interaction with the soldiers. The main topic was the ruling PPP/C’s vision for Guyana and its current policies being implemented for the modernisation of Guyana and advancing the livelihood for all Guyanese.

The General Secretary traced Guyana’s economic recovery since 1992 following the

restoration of democracy and the basic civil and political rights of its citizens.

In addition to explaining the development trajectory which the PPP has successfully steered Guyana towards and the prudent management it has stuck to which resulted in sustained economic growth over the years, Mr. Rohee made reference to the 1974-1976 period during which the PPP extended Critical Support t o t h e t h e n P e o p l e ’s National Congress (PNC) Government. This policy was adopted in light of the progressive positions adopted by the PNC at that time which the PPP viewed as in the best interest of Guyana and all Guyanese.

This he said showed maturity and commitment to put the nation and the welfare of its people first despite political differences between the two parties.

In this regard, the PPP General Secretary expressed disappointment at the failure of the current Opposition,

GENERAL Secretary Clement Rohee A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), to indulge in petty and partisan politics rather than to support transformative projects such as the Amaila Hydro project, the Specialty

Hospital, the expansion of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) and the Marriot Hotel, which will propel further the country’s rapid development and drastically improve the lives of all Guyanese.

With regards to Opposition Leader David Granger’s call for a future “One-Guyana” administration, Mr. Rohee recalled that the PPP was the first political party to call for a National Patriotic Front and National Front Government. He noted that former President Forbes Burnham had an ideology which he followed and he made it clear where he stood, however, the current leader of the PNC unlike Burnham is always ambiguous in his positions (if he takes any at all) on

International issues. And as far as ideology is concerned it appears that he is not influenced by any.

Mr. Rohee emphasised the need for the political Opposition to act responsibly and that they should not derail the N a t i o n ’s d e v e l o p m e n t gains achieved thus far.

He reiterated that the PPP and the PPP/C Government will continue to put the Nation and its people first and would not be distracted from it’s efforts to continue to work for the betterment of Guyana and Guyanese.

Mr. Rohee also took the opportunity to refer to the sustained successes in the education sector resulting in many Guyanese students excelling with distinction.

While addressing this particular issue, Mr. Rohee

17

debunked the notion of “education apartheid” showing how all Guyanese children are entitled to attend school irrespective of race, class or religion and that such a disparaging and false notion only serve to discourage the efforts of the country’s hardworking teachers and students.

The PPP General S e c re t a r y c o m m e n d e d the joint efforts of the Army and the Police in crime fighting, their collaboration on issues of National Security and protection of the Nation’s borders. Several questions w e re a n s w e re d a t t h e end of his presentation.

Mr. Rohee extended best wishes to the ranks for their future endeavours as Members of the Guyana Defence Force.

US oncologist with Guyanese roots performs successful surgeries at GPHC

By Michel Outridge MEET Dr. Evelyn Reynolds, who was in Guyana recently and assisted some cancer patients in which she performed several successful surgeries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) during her visiting oncology (cancer treatment) voluntary programme with a group of local doctors.

Her expertise was utilised having spent one week

in Guyana after which she met with the obstetrician/ gynaecologist (oby/gyn) team.

Dr. Evelyn said she saw patients at the GPHC women's clinic on Monday and Tuesday for that week and most of them were patients who were there for routine follow-up or review of their current management and treatment plan.

She added that there were also several new patients who required new treatment plans or surgery and on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the same week she performed

successful surgeries on eight patients at GPHC. Although she was born and raised in Rochester, New York, she has Guyanese roots because her parents are Guyanese and resided in Berbice before migrating many years ago.

Dr. Reynolds told the Guyana Chronicle that her father ’s name is William Reynolds and was from West Coast Berbice while, her mother is Evelyn and she is from Corentyne.

She stated that they both were trained in the nursing profession in Berbice and her mother is actually celebrating her 50th reunion of her batch this year.

Dr. Evelyn Reynolds Dr. Reynolds noted that her father passed away in 2005, but prior to that her parents built a house and clinic in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

She said that her mother still travels to and from Guyana about three times per year and she is the 4th of their five children.

Dr. Reynolds said she attended Princeton University where she did undergraduate studies, and then did her medical and ob/gyn residency training at the University of Rochester Medical Centre.

She said: “I then did my subspecialty training in gyn oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Since completing fellowship I have worked at the University of Kansas Cancer Centre in Kansas City.”

Dr. Reynolds noting that Guyana does not have any gyn oncology specialists said she heard about the opportunity from other gyn oncologists who have volunteered in the past and took the opportunity to do some volunteer work here of which she did not mind at all.

GDF investigates alleged assault of officer cadet A TEAM of investigators from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was dispatched to the Colonel John Clarke Military School in Tacama last evening, following a report by an Officer Cadet that he was assaulted by his training instructors. The incident allegedly occurred between Wed Aug 13th and Thu Aug 14th during a training exercise in Tacama.

The Officer Cadet was first brought to the Base Ayanganna Medical Centre then taken to the GPHC where he was seen by a specialist. He is currently under the care of the Force Medical Officer in Ayanganna where he was also visited by his parents.

The Chief of Staff has ordered that a Board of Inquiry be convened immediately to unearth all issues relating to this incident. Further, he wishes to reiterate that the Force does not condone violence in any form against its ranks.

NJASHM aims to reduce suicide cases in Berbice

By Ravin Singh

THE New Jersey Arya Samaj Humanitarian Mission (NJASHM) which has been active in reaching out to combat social ills engulfing Guyana, particularly Berbice, are now engaged in addressing the issue of suicide with the aim of eradicating or reducing the problem to a minimal level.

According to the president of the organisation Pandit Suresh Sugrim, the group’s origin came out of the New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir in August of 2005. Since then they have been engaged in many humanitarian outreach programmes which include feeding the under privileged, counselling and education provision.

“The Humanitarian Mission of New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc. is dedicated to helping children, seniors, victims of gender-based violence and other individuals who are living in dire poverty. Our aim is that each person will grow into a healthy, educated and self-reliant individual” he noted.

Sugrim, who is currently in the country, explained that the sole purpose of his present six-week visit is to roll out some of the initiatives which would have been discussed at senior levels. He further explained that one of the ‘front-burner’ issues which have captured the attention of the organisation is that of suicide in the county of Berbice.

He expounded on the fact that it has been realised that this issue of suicide is not one which affects a particular race, gender or ethnicity and as such, his organisation remains a non-sectarian, impartial body which seeks to combat this issue without examining people by race, religion or culture.

One of the key contributory factors he noted was that of broken homes which results in poor parenting and poor nurturing of children at an early age. “This can be very detrimental to a child’s well being as they are constantly being influenced by negative forces, and as such the reliance of good parenting plays a significant role in their lives,” he urged.

While expressing this however, he acknowledged the fact that even though parents are not to be blamed in some cases, edPresident of the New Jer- ucative measures should be sey Arya Samaj Mission, in place to assist and guide children who he stressed Pandit Suresh Sugrim will soon be the “leaders of this country.”

“I believe in the saying, ‘teach a man how to fish, rather than giving him a fish’ as he would always remember how to and it would teach him a sense of independence.” Pandit Sugrim said if you give a man a fish, he would not learn to establish himself and would always be dependent on people.

He said that in order to combat this particular issue of suicide however, the NJASHM would need to do more than engaging children verbally. As a result, he elaborated on the fact that a competent team has been sought to engage those affected by this social ill and to counsel them whenever the need arises. While this is in play, he emphasised the need for the demonstration of love not only from the counsellors but parents who constantly fail to show the interest in their children and neglect them.

Added to the ‘front-burner’ list of social ills aimed to be eradicated is drug abuse, Sugrim said. He explained that this has long been an issue associated with young people and one which has produced a constant battle between those seeking to reduce it, and those promoting it. He is contending that the reach for this issue in particular goes out to individuals beyond the counsellors and parents and collectively feature those whose children are in constant contact with. “If we have more positive environments being created where these children are, we will have better youths being brought up in our society. That is why we need those outsiders to play their part in assisting us and the Government to reduce these problems our youths are faced with,” he said.

While focus on healthier family life, stronger and more positive environments are needed, and counsellors can be provided, Sugrim stressed that if the families are not “prepared” are “ready” to engage their children, “it wouldn’t make sense.”

As such, he is stressing the need for preparedness for not only the parents but for the victims too, so these services can be provided to them.

He concluded by making his call to the general public to assist the NGO and the Government of Guyana in this fight against social ills so as to create a more positive and healthier environment for the future leaders of Guyana.

The NJASHM has also erected houses for less fortunate families who were in need, and they are currently in the process of erecting an empowerment centre. The centre which will be equipped with trained personnel will seek to provide training to individuals and provide the opportunity for them to seek a “new beginning.” Those seeking to donate or contact the NGO can do so at http://njaryasamaj.com/ or contact Pandit Sugrim on ssugrim@ aol.com.

Resuscitated Leguan policing groups functioning well

SUNDAY CHRONICLE August 17, 2014

The groups are very happy with the recently acquired vehicle THE six Community Policing Groups in Leguan are functioning well having been resuscitated a few months ago.

The groups are also happy to have received a Nissan Pickup, PSS 2738, from the Ministry of Home Affairs which is expected to significantly assist the communities with police patrols and certain emergencies.

The groups’ Liaison Officer, Ms. Nandani Narine told the Guyana Chronicle this week that the aim of community policing is to work along with the police station on the island to help keep the communities crime free and to aid in developmental works.

Members of one of the groups weeded grass on the sea dam and dug drains to drain potholes The six groups are La Bagatelle/Waterloo, Therins/Phoenix, Enterprise/Blenheim, Eastern Leguan, Northern Leguan and Tweksbury Vertrouwen.

According to Narine, a system is in place to ensure that each group will benefit from the use of the vehicle.

She explained that when a patrol has been planned, the group informs the police station which in turn sends along an officer.

Ms. Narine said the groups would normally provide her with a report on events and she communicates with the Home Affairs Minister.

She also highlighted the work of the two youth groups on the island-the Maryville Cricket Club Youth Group and the Young Heart Youth Group. (Telesha Ramnarine)

Ramdhani was paired with Jamaica’s Zane Reid, while McTyson partnered up with Adam Taylor. On the boy’s side Guyana also fared well with Narayan Ramdhani, who was playing his best throughout the tournament and gained the crowd support, won 2 silvers for the boys under-17 singles and doubles.

Root, Cook and Ballance lift England to 385 for 7 - India fight back with four wickets in afternoon session

By Ed Osmond LONDON, (Reuters) - Joe Root passed fifty for the fifth time in the series to lift England to 385 for seven and a commanding lead of 237 runs at the close on the second day of the fifth test against India at The Oval yesterday.

Alastair Cook made 79, Gary Ballance 64 and Jos Buttler 45 as England turned the screw after their fourpronged seam attack dismissed the touring side for 148 on the first day.

Root ended on 92 not out with Chris Jordan on 19 and England will look to add quick runs in the morning before attempting to bowl out India again to clinch the series which they lead 2-1.

“It’s great that we have batted all day and given ourselves a good lead,” Ballance told reporters.

“There’s a bit of seam movement and if you bowl in good areas you can create chances. Hopefully, it will still do that tomorrow.

“Rooty tried to put the bowlers under pressure and he did that very well.”

Joe Root slammed a six over fine leg in his unbeaten 92.

Resuming on 62 for no wicket, England opener Sam Robson fell for 37 in the second over of the day when he misjudged a full straight delivery from Arun Aaron which crashed

into his off stump to end a first-wicket stand of 66.

Ballance and Cook played comfortably and accumulated runs steadily with crisp strokes off their legs and the odd well-timed

drive.

Cook reached his third fifty in four innings with a square cut for four off Ravichandran Ashwin, confirming his return to form with the bat after a wretched run.

England took lunch on 148 for one but Cook was dropped twice after the interval before pushing at a wide ball from Aaron and being well caught low down by Murali Vijay at first slip to end a second-wicket partnership of 125.

Ballance reached his third fifty in eight Tests, to go with three centuries, before prodding a turning delivery from spinner Ravi Ashwin straight to Cheteshwar Pujara at silly mid off.

“I started the season feeling good and I’ve brought that to the test matches,” Ballance said.

“I felt like I was going nicely but then probably played at a ball that I shouldn’t have.”

SNORTING BALL Ian Bell, on seven, received a snorting ball from Ishant Sharma which he could only edge to wicketkeeper MS Dhoni, the

third wicket to fall for the addition of only 13 runs.

Moeen Ali batted fluently, clipping two sweetly-struck fours off his legs, and was unfortunate to be dismissed for 14 when he chopped a ball from Ashwin back on to his stumps.

Root and Buttler took England to tea on 246 for five and they extended a jaunty sixth-wicket partnership to 80 with good running between the wickets and some clean hitting.

Buttler looked on course to make a third fifty in his first three Tests when he clipped Sharma straight to Ashwin at short mid-wicket.

Root pulled Bhuvneshwar Kumar over long leg for the first six of the innings before Chris Woakes was caught by Dhoni down the leg side off the same bowler for a duck.

Yorkshireman Root reached his half-century off 93 balls, including a six and two fours, to become the fourth England batsman to pass fifty in every test of a five-match series.

Wa l t e r H a m m o n d achieved the feat against South Africa in 1938-39, Peter May did likewise against

Jayawardene remains unbeaten after Herath heroics ….Jayawardene not out on 49 after Herath takes nine * Pakistan wicketkeeper Sarfraz scores maiden ton COLOMBO, (Reuters) - Mahela Jayawardene remained unbeaten on 49 in his farewell innings after spinner Rangana Herath’s career best figures of nine for 127 gave Sri Lanka control of the second Test against Pakistan yesterday.

Jayawardene, playing his last Test, added 98 for the unbroken third wicket with his long-standing partner Kumar Sangakkara (54 not out) as Sri Lanka ended the third day against Pakistan on 177 for two wickets.

Sri Lanka, leading the two-Test series 1-0, took an overall lead of 165 runs with eight second innings in hand and two days of the test match remaining.

Sangakkara and Jayawardene negotiated the Pakistan bowling, without injured Junaid Khan, skillfully on a turning track to put their team in a strong position at the end of the day.

Left-handed Sangak-

kara, who hit four boundaries, reached his 51st Test half century before the close.

He survived a close call on 19 when Pakistan unsuccessfully reviewed a not out leg before appeal off Wahab Riaz with replays showing the ball hitting leg stump.

Jayawardene, with whom Sangakkara has associated in 46 half-century partnerships, hit seven fours during his 123-ball knock.

The 37-year-old was cheered by the sizeable crowd for every run he scored after walking out for his last test knock to a standing ovation and a guard of honour by the Pakistan players.

Left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman dismissed the Sri Lankan opener Upul Tharanga (45) and Kaushal Silva (17) in the afternoon session.

Tharanga hit four boundaries in his 63-ball innings before he dragged

the ball on to his stumps while attempting a pull, ending an opening stand of 54 with Silva.

Silva fell to a catch at slip

by Younus Khan.

HERATH’S NINE Earlier, Herath’s heroics restricted Pakistan’s first innings lead to 12 runs with wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed scoring his maiden test century.

Pakistan were all out for 332 at the stroke of lunch, replying to Sri Lanka’s first innings total of 320.

The visitors’ last four wickets added 88 runs to their overnight score of 244 for six, with Sarfraz (103) moving from 66 to his hundred with a superb pulled six off Chanaka Welegedara to become the first Pakistani wicket-keeper in five years to get to three figures.

Sarfraz held the Pakistan tail together during his 127ball innings before Herath finally had him edging a catch to wicket-keeper Niroshan

Rangana Herath became the first left-arm bowler to take nine wickets in an innings in Tests on the third day in Colombo.

Dickwella.

Sarfraz hit one six and seven fours and added 40 runs with Abdur Rehman (16) for the seventh wicket and 28 with Wahab Riaz (17) for the eighth.

Herath continued to run through the Pakistan tail picking up the wickets of Rehman, caught by Jayawardene at slip, Riaz and Saeed Ajmal (four).

Junaid, who did not take the field after being hit by a Dhammika Prasad bouncer while batting, remained unbeaten on 13.

Herath’s morning spell yesterday was four for 29 off 8.1 overs. He

Van Gaal’s United lose opener, Spurs win at West Ham

By Martyn Herman LONDON (Reuters) - Louis van Gaal found no instant fix for Manchester United as a new era dawned at Old Trafford with a dispiriting 2-1 opening-day home defeat

by Swansea City in the Premier League yesterday.After a buoyant pre-season campaign, United fans arrived full of hope that Van Gaal would quickly right the wrongs of last season under David Moyes but Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 72nd-minute winner left them deflated and underlined the task the vastly-experienced Dutch coach faces.Captain Wayne Rooney had cancelled out Ki Sung-yueng’s opener for the visitors shortly after halftime but Sigurdsson condemned United to their first opening-day top flight defeat at Old Trafford for 42 years.

“It’s more than disappointing for the fans,” said Van Gaal who was without Dutch striker Robin van Persie through injury.“They are expecting a lot because we have won every game in pre-season. Then you lose the first match.

That’s disappointing for the fans, also for the players and also for me.

“It’s a very bad day for us.”Tottenham Hotspur, who finished one place above United in sixth place last season, began life under new manager Mauricio Pochettino with a 1-0 victory at London rivals West Ham United thanks to a stoppage-time goal from new signing Eric Dier.

Both sides ended the match with 10

Women’s Test…

India beat England by six wickets at Wormsley

CAPTAIN Mithali Raj steered India to victory over England on the final day of the women’s Test at Wormsley.

Set 181 to win, India began the day on 119-4, with England knowing Raj stood between them and any hope of victory.

But the India skipper hit 50 not out, adding 68 with nightwatchman Shikha Pandey (28 not out) as England’s seam-heavy attack failed to break through.

The sides now meet in three one-day internationals which form part of the inaugural ICC Women’s Championship.

It represents a major triumph for India, who have not played a Test since 2006 and struggled in recent glob-

al limited-overs tournaments.

By contrast, England will reflect on a poor batting performance on the first morning of their first match since the squad were awarded full-time professional contracts by the England and Wales Cricket Board “It didn’t start well with me losing the toss but that’s no excuse as we didn’t bat well.

It doesn’t matter how much money you’re paid, you’ve got to turn up,” captain Charlotte Edwards told BBC Test Match Special.

“India were the better team over the four days.

We didn’t play straight enough and our total of 92 wasn’t enough. We bowled well to get them out for 114, but a lead of

180 wasn’t going to be good enough.”

Jenny Gunn, replaced as vice-captain by Heather Knight earlier this summer, was named as player of the match after taking 5-19 in India’s first innings before giving England hope with an unbeaten 62 in their second innings - the biggest score of the match.

Edwards added: “Hopefully we’ll come back better in the one-day internationals.

“We’d like to play more Tests and we’ve got to work on the longer form of the game to improve our Test cricket over the next few years.”

The first one-day international is at Scarborough on Thursday.(BBC Sport)

T&T will now seek solace in the third place playoff today when they come up against Honduras, who went down 2-0 to Haiti in the other semi-final.

Trinidad had played unbeaten in the preliminary round to top Group B with seven points before trouncing the Bahamas 4-0 in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Haiti booked their spot in the final thanks to a brace from midfielder Nerilia Mondesir. She struck as early as the fourth minute to give the French Caribbean side a 1-0 lead at half-time and then found the nets again in the 70th minute, to seal the points.

shapeless and vulnerable throughout.

Van Gaal began with his favoured 3-5-2 system but changed things at halftime and on Saturday’s evidence there will be lots of tinkering to come for the Dutchman who has won league titles with Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

United dominated possession in the first half but offered little attacking verve against a Swansea side content to sit deep and wait for the occasional counter-attack.

One such break saw Nathan Dyer flick the ball on to Sigurdsson down the right and the Iceland international burst forward before teeing up Ki to beat keeper David De Gea. Rooney hooked in Juan Mata’s corner in the 53rd minute to restore parity and then clipped the post with a curling free kick as the home side looked set for a comeback victory.

However, Swansea had other ideas and Ecuadorian substitute Jefferson Montero’s dangerous cross caused problems in United’s unfamiliar-looking defence and the ball was eventually knocked to Sigurdsson, back at Swansea after leaving Spurs, to fire home.

“It was a disastrous start for us but we have to move on,” Rooney said. “We’re not happy, the manager’s not happy.

“We’ll have to go through what went wrong during the week. We’ll do that. I thought today we didn’t play as well together as a team as we can do. We have to put that right.”

Serena one win from first Cincinnati title

(Reuters) - TOP seed Serena Williams overcame a slow start to beat Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki 2-6 6-2 6-4 yesterday and reach her second straight Western and Southern Open final in Cincinnati.

Williams was broken three times in the first set before finding her groove in time to beat 12th-seeded Wozniacki for the second time this month and eighth time in nine career meetings.

Williams, in pursuit of her first Cincinnati title, got better as the nearly two-hour match went on, overpowering Wozniacki with seven aces in the last two sets and breaking her wilting opponent four times in the final set.

The tournament is the last of the key tune-ups ahead of the Aug. 25-Sept. 8 U.S. Open, the year’s final grand slam, where world number one Williams will defend her crown.

Williams, who lost last year’s Cincinnati title in a third set tiebreak to Victoria Azarenka, will play the winner of Saturday’s other semi-final between French Open champion Maria Sharapova and Serbian Ana Ivanovic, in today’s final.

Haynes - Pollard can be future captain

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Desmond Haynes formed a great opening partnership with Gordon Greenidge when West Indies were at the pinnacle of world cricket.

Haynes believes that he would have enjoyed Twenty20 (T20) cricket, and that Greenidge would have been fantastic at it. Nishad Pai Vaidya caught up with Haynes on the sidelines of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he is a mentor with the Barbados Tridents.

Desmond Haynes is one of the greatest opening batsmen in the history of the game. In partnership with Gordon Greenidge, he formed a lethal combination at the top and was an integral part of Clive Lloyd’s world beating West Indies team.

He is currently the mentor of the Barbados Tridents at the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2014. Barbados Tridents prepare to face Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final of the CPL 2014.

In an exclusive chat with CricketCountry, Haynes talks about T20 cricket, its impact, his foundation and a

lot more.

Excerpts: CricketCountry (CC): What has been your experience at CPL as a mentor?

What has that role brought about for you?

Desmond Haynes (DH): It has been a great experience. My role as mentor is to ensure that I assist in any way possible and to discuss how to play the shortest version of the game. I didn’t play T20 cricket, but have been very successful as a one-day cricketer.

I know what it is to play the short version of the game and believe that the guys are learning from my experience and used it to the best of their abilities. You’ve got this Barbados Tridents side with some young Barbadians, who would have heard of me and know my role, and you have the internationals as well. So far we have had a very good relationship and that is also because of some good work by our coach here, Robin Singh.

CC: What has been the secret to Barbados Tridents’ consistency through the CPL 2014?

DH: Last year, when I was coach, we started by

winning four or five games, but we didn’t do very well moving towards the end. But this year, we have been more consistent at the back-end of the tournament. I think it is because of Kieron Pollard’s captaincy as well. He is one guy who would try a lot of things on the ground. He has shown great leadership and hopefully, I would like to see him being the captain of the West Indies at some stage.

CC: We hear that you have started a foundation.

What do you wish to do through that?

DH: It is the Desmond Haynes Foundation and the aim is to raise enough money to help two young players finish their college or university education. They would obviously have a little bit of a cricketing background and one hopes, if they are successful, they come back and make a contribution to the foundation in years to come. My aim is to make sure I raise enough money through any appearances etc.

I am trying to find people who can donate funds to the foundation so that we can get two young Barbadians with a cricketing background to go and finish their education.

Kieron Pollard CC: Would you have been keen to play the T20 format? How would you have adjusted to this game?

DH: Oh, certainly! I did have the opportunity of playing a few games in England (10 and 30-over encounters for Lashings XI), though one or two were rained out. The way I used to play, I believe I would have been a handful in T20 cricket. If you can play the shorter version of the game and you open the batting, it is a lot easier. In T20 cricket, batting early on gives you more opportunities than batting in the later part of the line-up.

Essequibo Volleyball Association re-established LAST Sunday 11 th July at Onderneeming, Essequibo Coast was yet another momentous achievement for the sport of volleyball in Guyana.

The Essequibo Volleyball Association {EVA} was re-established followed by a competition involving four male teams. And on hand to witness the proceedings was President of the Guyana Volleyball Federation {GVF} John Flores along with other executives.

The newly resuscitated Essequibo Volleyball Association {EVA} comprise of persons from several teams and active community members.

Heading the association is Captain of Mainstay Village, Joel Fredericks as president, vice- president Rabbi Das, treasurer Rodney Williams, former first division player, secretary Ms. Marsha Williams and five committee members rounding off members of the association.

The newly elected president, a sport enthusiast, emphatically

expressed his willingness to fast track the development of the sport in the Cinderella County ,and will try his best to ensure the sport is elevated to a very high level in order to compete with Demerara and Berbice.

He also stated that he will work closely with the sports coordinators in the regions and relevant organisations in that regard.

GVF president John Flores was very elated to have this realised since this was one of his many plans to get all the associations established and functioning.

He charged the committee members to help spread the game and be actively involved in supporting the executives. This historic occasion was schedule for July but due to a very hectic schedule it had to be put back.

After the business end of the meeting, the competition got started on the outdoor courts where four teams tried to outdo each other but the eventual

GVF president John Flores winner was the Mainstay Village team, which demonstrated much fitness, determination and a winning attitude that resulted in them being victorious and lifted the winning trophy.

CC: When one-day cricket came about, did you find it difficult to adapt to the shorter version?

DH: No, it was never difficult for us. We came at a time when one-day cricket was played during a Test series. For example, when we toured Australia, we used to play one Test match and then two fifty-over games followed by a Test match and so forth. It was a situation where if you were smart enough, you should be able to adapt.

CC: What about T20 cricket and its impact?

DH: Yes, you have to give credit to the guys who play the modern game. The likes of Pollard, Chris Gayle and the other great T20 players, you’ve got to give them credit as they’ve played it very well. The other impact I see in modern cricket is the fielding has improved. That was because of T20 version. It has helped improve the game overall in some aspects.

CC: How much of an impact has limited-over cricket had on opening the batting in Test cricket? In recent times, you’ve had attacking openers like Matthew Hayden and Virender Sehwag to name

a few.

DH: Yes it is how you adapt. I don’t think T20 cricket would have interfered with anybody with the way how they play Tests. This is because in Tests for example if you have the ball moving around, you have more time to be patient (to get in). But, now if you have a Test match where you have to chase 300 odd, there is a possibility that the teams would get it given the way they play T20 cricket these days.

CC: You formed a great opening partnership with Gordon Greenidge. How would you have seen the pair of you don that role in T20 cricket?

DH: I think Gordon Greenidge would have been a fantastic T20 cricketer.

Imagine, you got Gordon and myself opening the batting and then Viv (Sir Viv Richards) coming at No 3 — that would be a good batting lineup. I think we would have adapted properly. And then Clive Lloyd to come. Batting in the first few overs, you can play some good cricket shots.

I think West Indies would have been a very good side.

Kanhai to be honoured as Berbice’s greatest ever Cricketer – Portrait to be unveiled at PMCC FORMER Guyana and West Indies captain and batting legend Rohan Kanhai would be honoured by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as the Ancient County’s greatest ever cricketer.

The batting maestro who played 79 Tests for the West Indies became the second Berbician to play Test cricket after John Trim when he made his debut against England at Eagbaston on May 30th 1957.

Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the Board’s Diamond Jubilee celebration,

stated that Kanhai was not only a great cricketer but an outstanding ambassador for Berbice.

In tribute to Kanhai, the BCB as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations would be unveiling his portrait at the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC), while the main pavilion at the ground would now be named after him.

Kanhai scored 6227 Tests runs for the West Indies with 16 centuries while his highest test score was 256 not out versus India. He and fellow Port Mourant legends Basil Butcher, Joseph Soloman

and Ivan Madray were products of the Clyde Walcott era when the former West Indies player and legend was based in Berbice.

Kanhai scored 29250 first class runs from 421 matches with 89 centuries.

Kanhai captained the West Indies team in 13 tests and played a crucial innings of 55 in assisting Clive Lloyd in a match winning partnership during the 1975 World Cup finals vs Australia.

Like a rare diamond, he sparkled among numerous stars, Sir Frank Worrel, Sir Everton Weekes, Sir
