‘CG’ bandits shoot businessman dead, escape with bag of money - also shoot, injure man’s wife

By Asif Hakim BUSINESSMAN Ashok Raghu, 43, of 77 Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown was shot dead in his vehicle late yesterday by bandits on a Honda CG motorcycle.

The shooting occurred at the traffic light on Vlissingen Road near the entrance to Botanical Gardens. Raghu’s wife, Sherry, was also shot in the thigh and toe, and is now a patient at the Georgetown Hospital.

According to reports, the bandits apparently traced the couple from a city Bank where they went to make a withdrawal. One eyewitness told the Guyana Chronicle that the traffic light was ‘on red’ when the bandits made their move.

The car in which the couple was travelling was burgundy in colour, and bore the registration number PGG 8291.

According to the eyewitness, the businessman was heading south on Vlissingen Road, while the bandits were travelling north.

“After the car stopped at the traffic light,” the eyewitness said, “the bandits... who look to be in their mid-30s, then went up to the man car trying to snatch a bag; but as they try to get the bag, the man was fighting.”

Continuing with the narrative, the eyewitness said, “As the man fight back, the bandits then shot him. When the man was coming out the car to go to the hospital in another vehicle, he was hollering for his life; his wife, who was also shot, was screaming. A car then took them to the hospital.”

The two bandits reportedly made good their escape after the deed was done, with the pillion rider still carrying the gun in his hand.

When this publication visited the hospital, the only relatives there at the time were the man’s two daughters, one of whom said that her father succumbed while receiving treatment. She said that all she’d heard was that her mother and father got shot and robbed.

“Why they had to do this to my father”? the grief-stricken young woman asked. “They robbed him, plus killed him. When is this going to stop in this country?

Something needs to be done!

I can’t believe that my father is dead!”

A senior police told the Chronicle that based on police investigations, the bag the bandits reportedly made off with contained both money and important documents, and that the Force will be

The vehicle in the foreground is the one in which the slain businessman and his wife were travelling working tirelessly to bring justice to the late businessman’s family.

Just two Sundays ago, Marvin Cumberbatch of Guyana Water Inc. was shot dead in North Sophia after he was robbed of his motorcycle.

The man had moments before picked up his girlfriend from classes and dropped her off at her home in Sophia.

The Chronicle was informed that the bandit wrestled with Cumberbatch, shot him dead, then rode off on his motorcycle.

C.J. grants 19 petitioners bail totalling $6.0M ACTING Chief Justice, Mr. Ian Chang, S. C. last Friday granted 19 petitioners a total of $6, 050, 000 bail, pending the hearing of their cases.

GECOM better prepared for general elections

3

- President Ramotar

HEAD of State, President Donald Ramotar, is of the opinion that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is better prepared for the holding of general elections, as opposed to local government polls.

“GECOM continues to say that they are ready for the election, but I think they could very well be more ready for a national election than a local government election, because there is a different procedure that has to be going through with local government election,” he said at a press conference last Friday at the Office of the President.

The President explained that with local government elections, GECOM has to

create boundaries, among other activities, unlike the procedure necessary for the hosting of general elections.

“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... but I don’t think the same thing would apply to a national election,” Mr. Ramotar added.

Deputy Chief Elections Officer, Mr. Vishnu Persaud, told the Guyana Chronicle that whichever election is called, GECOM is prepared to respond, as is its mandate.

He however noted that the status quo still remains,

relative to the hosting of local government elections, in that the Commission will need six

President Donald Ramotar months to put in place all that is necessary for Guyanese to

go to local government polls.

“The Chairman (Dr. Steve Surujbally) has been clear on our preparedness for elections,” Persaud said, adding that the onus is not on GECOM to call either election, but is prepared to host whichever one is called.

“Whichever is called, we will respond; that is our mandate,” he said.

While the last gener-

al elections were held in November 2011, local government elections have not been held in Guyana since 1994. Prior to that, local government elections were last held in 1970. Subsequent to 1994, the elections could not be conducted because of the coincidence with the general and regional elections of 1997. Additionally, the House passed

the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The August date was made via an amendment to the Bill, proposed by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), while the House was in Committee. However, this bill has not been assented to by the Head of State.

The Bai Shan Lin affair...

Forestry Commissioner dismisses as ‘false’ –blames misconception on ‘lack of overharvesting claims understanding’ of forest procedures THE Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), responding to “mass allegations and misinformation” regarding the operations of Chinese logging company Bai Shan Lin (BSL), has “set the record straight” in order to dispel the many rumours circulating about this company.

At a news conference held yesterday at the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) in Kingston, Georgetown, Commissioner James Singh put paid to the many claims that BSL has been involved in exploitation of Guyana’s forestry resources. He noted that much of the information being circulated in the press “is as a result of a lack of understanding” of the procedures in forestry.

He even disclosed that

Bai Shan Lin (BSL) has an “unutilised quota” for its concessionary holdings coming out of joint ventures with other companies.

“The notion that Bai Shan Lin is overharvesting and clear-felling is absolutely untrue and false,” Singh contended.

He contended that monitoring and evaluation officers on the ground -- some 220 forest rangers -- have aided the GFC in monitoring “very effectively and efficiently” the operations of all concessionaires; and this, of course, includes the Chinese logging giant BSL. ALL LOGS NOT OWNED BY BSL While denouncing popular images published by sections of the media, which

attempt to show sprawling lands with logs awaiting transport, Commissioner Singh made clear that logs which are harvested in certain regions are “stockpiled at approved sites in or near the forest location.”

He contended that many of the images are those of log markets which house logs of close to 14 concessionaires. Going the proverbial extra mile to be rid of aspersions, the Commissioner stressed that “more than one producer [is] stockpiling (logs) there”, referring to the image of sprawling lands published in the local press, which erroneously cited BSL as the owner.

LACK OF UNDERSTANDING “A lot of the stuff that is in the papers is as a result of a lack of understanding of what forestry operations entail…[or] probably not enough research being done”, Singh declared as he gave an in-depth presentation to members of the press.

He bemoaned that publishing of misinformation is not restricted to Guyana, but “affects the markets of Guyana.” Driving home his remarks, the Commissioner rhetorically questioned, “Who are the ones that suffer?” He answered his question thus: “The com-

munity forestry operators… the small operators and the TSA holders.”

He directed media personnel to the Forestry Commission’s website for further clarity in times of uncertainty, even as he bemoaned the fast-pace cyberspace reporting and the way misinformation is callously published.

Questioning the integrity of some sections of the media, the Commissioner said, “This, to me, is not professionalism.” He urged that responsibility be exercised in placing information in the media, saying that it affects the lives of others.

OUT OF PLACE In his closing remarks, Commissioner Singh asserted: “I don’t think it’s the role of any newspaper or any media house to be doing that (publishing inaccurate information). I think the role of the newspaper is to highlight the real facts, and not engage in speculation and rumour-mongering, because it does a disservice to the country and a disservice to people who depend on the forestry sector for a living.”

He extended the proverbial olive branch to the media, cautioning persons to be properly prepared before they present information to the public, and to contact the Forestry Commission

persions have affected the logging community, she replied: “They are trying to say that the GFC is doing the wrong things, and that we are condoning it too; but these are laws that we have to abide with, even at the small loggers’ level.

“So it would affect us, because if the big ones are not adhering to (the laws), then why should the small ones adhere to (them)?”

She also disclosed that there are 28 loggers falling under the umbrella of her organisation from Rockstone in Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice).

Guyana proves it’s the place to do business --thanks to ever growing investor confidence GUYANA is open for business, and the fact that the country continues to attract investors is not only encouraging, but inspiring as well, said President Donald Ramotar Sunday during a tour of the Guyana Gold Fields Inc., Aurora Gold project.

With a deliberate policy position to liberalise the economy, Guyana has enjoyed sustained exchange rate stability, constantly low inflation rates, interest rates that have influenced an exponential increase in commercial lending, a manageable debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio, and healthy international reserves.

Speaking to GINA, the president said the fact that investors, whether local or foreign, continue to invest millions of dollars in Guyana, is indicative of their confidence in the strength of the local economy.

And the impact of that investor confidence, he said, can be felt in almost every sphere of the society, creating wealth and jobs so essential for the nation’s economic and social development.

Encouraged by what is taking place, he pledged the administration’s continued support in whatever tangible way possible to help Guyana Gold Fields achieve its goal, as whatever that goal is will, in the longrun, benefit all Guyanese.

“We will continue to try our best to offer support, so that we can have full cooperation. We welcome this investment; we think it’s a

good story to tell... and it benefits all of Guyana,” the President said.

With the surge in investments over the last few years, the evidence indicates that government’s fiscal policies and programmes are steps in the right direction, the president noted. These decisions are driven by sound management, and all are taken in the best interest of the nation as a whole, the president had stated on previous occasions.

The Government, he stated, will continue its mission of ensuring a better life for all Guyanese and the continued development of the nation through careful management of its resources.

The investment by Guyana Goldfields Inc., a Canadian based mineral exploration company, primarily focused on the exploration and development of gold deposits in Guyana, is just one of several slated to come on-stream, within the next few years. The company is currently undertaking drilling and studies to advance and develop the Aurora Gold Project in Cuyuni, with a current measured and indicated resource of 5.71 million ounces gold (47.04 million tonnes at a grade of 3.83 g/t).

ETK Sand Springs which is setting up operations in the Puruni River area along with the Troy Mining Company’s investment in the Issano community are two other major investments set to become fully operational over the next few months.

Each of the afore-mentioned companies’ invest-

ment will be in excess of US$100 million. Both have indicated their intention of hiring a significant number of Guyanese for their operations and have expressed confidence in the local economy and political stability, as key among their reasons for their decision to invest in Guyana.

Other recent investments such as the five-star Marriott Hotel which is expected to open its door later this year, the proposed Sun and Sand Luxury Hotel, another fivestar venture at Liliendaal and major expansions by local companies such as Banks DIH, along with other manufacturing companies indicate a growing confidence in the local economy and its long- term stability.

It is this conducive economic environment that has led to a boom in investments in almost all of the 10 administrative regions. An ECLAC annual report stated that Guyana earned US$294M through foreign direct investments in 2012 representing a 19 per cent increase from the previous year’s US$247M. Recently, the J & C Renaissance Banquet Hall, which is located in Ameila’s Ward, Linden opened its door while many other local investments are underway.

Within the last few years, historic large scale investments such as First Bauxite Corporation’s venture at the Bonasika mine along the Essequibo River, and Reunion Manganese Incorporated in Matthews Ridge have been witnessed.

GUYANA

The real Guyana story A REVEALING conversation by a group of overseas-based Guyanese, who were returning after residing for many years away from their homeland, is indicative of the wrong impression being conveyed

by Opposition Parties and their representatives in the Diaspora that Guyana is a destitute garbage-dump where people starve and go in want of basic essentials.

The Diasporeans marvelled at the true picture; the reality of current-day Guyana from the land of real despair, hopelessness, hunger and want, which Guyanese endured during

their days living in the land of their birth.

And they lamented the politics that ensued in the murder and/or destruction of many innocent Guyanese; of many members of the Guyana Police Force and their families who survived the periodic Opposition reign of terror; of the business community, and of decent Guyanese of every ethnic extraction, who have been the victims of bandits; and of the PNC’s nefarious ‘X-13 Plan’ and ‘slow fire, more fire” strategy that was intended to wrest power, at any cost to the nation.

They also discussed the real threat of a continua-

tion of the crime-wave in this beloved land of their birth, and warned each other to be careful, because the members of the “resistance movement” need to survive; and most of them are not gainfully employed, preferring to wrest the wherewithal for their living with the force of the gun rather than from the sweat of their brows, despite the many opportunities currently prevailing through the several projects and systems implemented by the Government and other entities; and despite a steadily accelerating construction boom that has taken dynamic dimensions through the Government’s

housing programme, and the extant entrepreneurial adventurism that has been facilitated by the Government’s free-market policy and the investment and divestment paradigm created by the liberation of the economy.

Incidentally, the overseas-based Guyanese alluded to are (or were) staunch PNC supporters in days of yore; and it was not until their visit home for the CPL Cricket that they were able to discover the difference between life under the PPP/C administration and that under the PNC regime of yesteryear, and drew a nexus between Op-

position leaders and the bandits, which has been made evident many times, as in when they draped the coffin of notorious thief and murderer, Linden ‘Blackie’ London with the flag of Guyana, the symbol of our nation’s honour; and their openly championing the years of thieves, rapists and murderers without sparing a thought for the innocent persons, including babies

and young women, slain and despoiled by these predators; and of those wantonly slain police officers who refused to respond to the “kith and kin” call, with their families and the nation left bereft and traumatised.

They now plan to tell the real Guyana story, when they return home, to friends and relatives in the Diaspora.

An open letter to the Social Security Minister AS The Caribbean Voice gears up for its September 10 press conference at Cara Hotel to mark World Suicide Prevention Day, followed by the launch of its monthly outreach programme on September 20 and 21 at Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice, The Caribbean Voice is making an appeal to Minister of Human Services, Ms Jennifer Webster, to take leadership in redressing social pathologies that bedevil Guyanese society.

Through her ministry, the esteemed Min-

ister can spearhead the multi-sectoral approach by partnering with and supporting NGOs that work in the field in the areas of suicide prevention, anti-abuse, anti-violence endeavours. Such partnerships would help her ministry to map the services offered in both scope and location, so that the ministry can be able to explore possibilities of supplementing where the need is not being filled.

The ministry should also establish a partnership with the private sector to foster both information dissem-

ination and training programmes for responders such as the private sector workforce. Trainers can be drawn from the tertiary educational institutions and organizations like the Guyana Psychological Association. And billboards and banners promoting private business while simultaneously propagating appropriate messages on suicide prevention, anti-abuse and so on can be placed at various locations throughout the country.

A d d i t i o n a l l y, m a n y NGOs and private sector entities have their own

buildings with available spaces, which the ministry can utilize to establish hotlines manned by trained responders. The Caribbean Voice can provide a list of entities with such available building spaces.

To supplement this, the ministry can collaborate with religious organizations and institutions and related public sector entities to foster clinical training for pastors, pandits, moulvis and imams.

The ministry can also organize focus groups in various parts of the country to get a feel ‘on the

ground’ about these issues and suggestions for dealing with them. The collective wisdom of people at the grassroots is a tool that can be incisive and viable; and once the people are centrally involved, getting them to seek and implement solutions becomes that much easier.

Finally, the Minister should take the lead in bringing Guyana into the twenty-first century with respect to attitudes towards mental health issues; to combat the taboos, misinformation, biases and labelling that currently exist.

A very sad day for Guyana ALTHOUGH the Speaker says the No Confidence Motion is in order, President Ramotar is playing the election card close.

PPP/C should have pushed the clowns to keep Parliament open for business - their business to say no confidence.

President Donald Ramotar gave no clear indi-

--were PNC to rule again

cation of whether he would call elections before, but it is a waste of time for Government or PPP/C to talk to the Opposition media. I call it trash talk when they asked the President about calling snap elections.

The President would be

playing in their hands to give the combined Opposition a way out of the mess they have placed themselves in.

Granger addressing the GDF is for sinister reasons. No one knows how the PPP/C can win another

election when so much evil is stacked against it.

It would again be 35% ruling 65% once GECOM is not being transparent and doing its own thing behind closed doors.

And when voting is done and polls are closed with the

PNC declared the winner, which court can the PPP/C go to when even out of office the Opposition controls the justice system?

You guys saw Purple walk free, Purple is the PNC man, Linden Primo, who fired off an illegal gun at PNC Congress.

The court is stacked in favour of the PNC, where many more criminals will walk free, like the mass murderers of the

A good start would be to decriminalize suicide.

Meanwhile, The Caribbean Voice takes this opportunity to invite the Honorable Minister Webster to our press conference of September 10th. We are also inviting the Honorable Minister to have her ministry join us in our outreach to Black Bush Polder on September 20 and 21. We will be in touch with her to extend formal invitations to both activities.

ANNAN BOODRAM ET AL Lusignan babies.

The US and UK will be there to oversee free, fair and transparent elections, but will turn a blind eye to rigging.

Once police and GDF act against the PPP/C, which they always do, it is over. No place else to turn for help, or justice; certainly not the UK, USA or EU, because they are always part of Guyana’s problems.

SHRI KRISHNA JANAM-ASHTHAMI: CELEBRATING KRISHNA AND HIS TEACHINGS HINDUS in Guyana celebrated Shri Krishna Janam-ashthami on Sunday, August 17, which marked the incarnation or ‘birth’ anniversary of the Hindu Avatara Lord Krishna. The day is primarily observed with massive congregational worship and reading of the scriptures and the teachings of Lord Krishna.

Hinduism has, from ancient times, held strongly a belief in the reality of the Avatara; that is, the descent into form, the revelation of the Godhead in humanity. God descends so that man may ascend. It is the coming down of the Absolute Spirit into the frame of the finite body to lead the way for the re-establishment of spirituality, righteousness or Dharma.

Krishna himself revealed, “When-ever there is a decline in righteousness and an upsurge in unrighteousness, then I body Myself forth. For the protection of the virtuous, for the extirpation of evil, and for re-establishing Dharma on a firm footing, I come from age to age.” (Bhagavad Geeta 4:7-8).

The Avatara is, however, not limited to the bodily frame It has assumed. It is always Its true Being. Krishna was no exception. The Avatara is the living example of what man ought to strive to be — to go beyond the confines of the body unto the imperishable spirit of the universe — God. Writing on Krishna and the nature of the Avatara, the celebrated Sri Aurobindo explained: “All existence is a manifestation of God, because He is the only existence and nothing can be, except as either a real figuring or else a figment of that one reality. Therefore, every

conscious being is in part or in some way a descent of the Infinite into the apparent finiteness of name and form.

But it is a veiled manifestation, and there is a gradation between the supreme being of the Divine and the consciousness shrouded partly or wholly by ignorance of self in the finite. The conscious embodied soul is the spark of the Divine fire, and that soul in man opens out to self-knowledge as it develops out of ignorance of self into self-being.

The Divine also, pouring Itself into the forms of the cosmic existence, is revealed ordinarily in an efflorescence of its powers; in energies and magnitudes of its knowledge, love, joy, developed force of being; in degrees and faces of its Divinity.

But when the Divine Consciousness and Power, taking upon Itself the human form and the human mode of action, possesses it not only by powers and magnitudes, by degrees and outward faces of itself, but out of its eternal self-knowledge; when the Unborn knows itself and acts in the frame of the mental being and the appearance of birth, that is the height of the conditioned manifestation. It is the full and conscious descent of the Godhead, it is the Avatara.

This Avatara Krishna revealed His Divine nature and achieved the purpose of the Avatara when He dwelled upon earth over 5000 years ago. Particularly, His revelation took the form of that gospel and philosophical scripture, the Bhagavad Geeta in which He, being the Divine teacher, showed the way to divinity using His disciple as the representation of man.

Sri Aurobindo, in his essays on the Gita, made it

The President has spoken IN relation to Bai Shan Lin (BSL), the President of Guyana has spoken.

There is “no raping of our forest” by foreign logging company Bai Shan Lin (Chronicle, 16 Aug, 2014).

Certainly, there is no raping of our forests, despite the vicious attacks on Bai Shan Lin logging company by the Kaieteur News in harmony with the useless political Opposition.

The President’s statement on the Bai Shan Lin logging company is absolutely correct and in order, and has shattered or devas-

tated the ugly journalism displayed by KN against the Bai Shan Lin company, currently investing in Guyana’s forest sector with strict adherence to its forest laws.

But KN’s misleading and erroneous information about Bai Shan Lin is mischievously and specially designed to fool or mislead the Guyanese people, since KN is on the side of the unpatriotic and anti-national political Opposition.

But the KN shall fail in its deliberate opposition to foreign investments in

so much more lucid when he wrote: “The Teacher is God himself descended into humanity; the disciple is the first, as we might say in modern language, the representative man of his age, closest friend and chosen instrument of the Avatar; his protagonist in an immense work and struggle the secret purpose of which is unknown to the actors in it, known only to the incarnate God-head, who guides it all from behind the veil of His unfathomable mind of knowledge; the occasion is the violent crisis of that work and struggle at the moment when the anguish and moral difficulty and blind violence of its apparent movements forces itself with the shock of a visible revelation on the mind of its representative man, and raises the whole question of the meaning of God in the world, and the goal and drift and sense of human life and conduct”.

The life of Krishna, His teachings and Himself, the living example of His teachings, have without exaggeration been, and will surely continue to be, a force of insurmountable influence upon Hindus — both the ordinary and intellectual, and also the philosophers of both East and West, for His influence is one that is positive, potent and ever pervasive.

Of Krishna, His life and teachings, Swami Vivekananda stated as a tribute to Him: “He was the most wonderful Sannyasin and the most wonderful householder in one; He had the most wonderful, among the Rajas, power and was at the same time living in the midst of the most wonderful renunciation.

the forestry sector of our country under the Donald Ramotar administration.

After being exposed of lying on Bai Shan Lin in Region 10, the KN flew into Kwebanna, Region 1, where they claim they found “8 loaded Bai Shan Lin trucks hiding in the Region One trail”. This is another bogus story about the Bai Shan Lin company, since it is a joint venture arrangement with the Kwebanna Wood Products, in keeping with Section 16 of the Forest Act, 2009. So the Bai Shan Lin forest operations at Kwebanna are legal and lawful.

PETER PERSAUD

Krishna, the preacher of the Geeta, was all His life the embodiment of the Geeta.

He was the great illustration of non-attachment; a great landmark in the history of religion; the ideal of love for love’s sake, work for work’s sake, duty for duty’s sake; and it for the first time fell from the lips of the greatest Incarnation, Krishna, and for the first time in the history of humanity, on the soil of India.

He was the first heart large enough to see truth in all. In Krishna we find two ideas supreme; the first is the harmony of different ideas, and the second is non-attachment. He does not need anything; He does not want anything. He works for work’s sake. He is the most rounded man I know of, wonderfully developed, equally in brain and heart and hand. Every moment of His is alive with activity. Five thousand years have passed and He has influenced millions and millions. My regard for Him is for His perfect sanity. No cobwebs in His brain, no superstition. He knows the use of everything”.

Birth and death to the body pertains Not to the self, eternal in all beings, So sang Shri Krishna, Universal Teacher To Arjuna in sacred Bhagavat Gita.

A clear distinction between spirit and matter To awaken us from long–suffering deep slumber, That we may know our real nature As Atma [self], indestructible, imperishable, immutable.

Then with the Atma’s most wondrous light as our guide The road to beauty, freedom and happiness we march And at the very start, to ignorance and fear a fatal blow is dealt As also to putrid selfishness, lust for power and greed for wealth.

In peace and equipoise we serenely move and dwell With love and compassion to no being withheld.

Sad that of the Atma there is hardly any discussion Scholars and pandits do scarcely mention, Its stupendous glories and immeasurable dimensions, That but a little understanding therein Cuts deep at the bonds of Karma, Keeping us firmly rooted in truth and dharma.

Matters not whether rich or poor Live in stately mansions or on the streets bitter life to endure, This simple truth not to be ignored Lacking knowledge of the self, the Atma, Like a rudderless ship we become Tossed on the turbulent seas of life.

Or more like a grounded eagle Thinking it cannot fly, When it was born to soar the heavens in skillful flight.

Now more than ever our spiritual heritage to reclaim Breaking the chains we have forged with our own hands, Aspiring to heights free and unencumbered For we are the Atma.

Gov’t upholding constitutional requirements for shared governance - Teixeira

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENTIAL Advisor on Governance, Ms. Gail Teixeira, contends that shared governance does not necessarily mean a government of national unity.

She made it clear that there are constitutional provisions for shared governance; requirements that are being fulfilled by the current Administration.

“The issue (is) that people think shared governance means a national unity government. I am not sure shared governance means that. We continue to uphold the Constitution and what it allows,” she told the Guyana Chronicle in an invited comment.

The Presidential Advisor cited the appointment of several constitutional commissions, such as the Judicial Service and Police Service commissions, as areas of shared governance.

Teixeira said, “The constitution provides areas for shared governance already,

in terms of appointments on a variety of things; and therefore, those areas of the constitution that have not been fulfilled, mainly because of the links between the President and the Leader of the Opposition, have been outstanding for years.”

President Donald Ra-

May, as was constitutionally mandated, to address the reconstitution of the Service Commissions. The National Assembly last Thursday approved the names of nominees for the two Commissions.

Over the last two weeks, there has been increased

General-Secretary Mr. Clement Rohee

Ms Gail Teixeira

motar and the Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier (Rt) David Granger, had met in

commentary on the issue of shared governance and talk of a ‘one-nation government’ by the Opposition Leader.

General-Secretary of the

ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Mr. Clement Rohee, has noted that shared governance has never been taken off the Party’s agenda, but the issue of trust, which is critical to advancing the concept of ‘shared governance’, has been “torpedoed by narrow, partisan political” interests.

“The question of trust remains on the table,” he said in response to questions posed by the Guyana Chronicle during a news conference held at Freedom House on Robb Street, on August 11.

Of the PPP’s many attempts at building trust, he said: “The first attempt at building trust with the PNC (People’s National Congress) as a government and as a party started under the Hoyte era…. In that period, a number of initiatives were taken, including constitutional reform…. Recall that, under the Hoyte administration, we did attempt to build trust; we also had many other initia-

tives, such as the depressed communities initiative.

“Mr. Corbin attempted to continue with this sojourn, but he ran into a number of problems. Elections were subsequently held, and that process ran aground…. We continue to push ahead with this concept (with Mr. Granger).”

Noting that it was unfortunate that recent efforts were not allowed to bear fruit, given that agreements reached between the two major political parties had by then begun to unravel, Rohee said: “Trust requires both parties, not one. Trust is something that has to be mutually built. The Government has certain responsibilities, the party also has responsibilities to build trust with all stakeholders.”

He is, however, heartened by the fact that the PPP has been able to make significant headway with several sections of Guyana’s population, such as the

faith-based organisations; the religious community; several non-governmental organisations (NGO); and the private sector.

That being said, Rohee disclosed: “The question therefore rises over what and where is the ‘fly in the ointment’ in respect of trust-building with the Opposition. And the answer to that is clear and simple: The Opposition’s agenda, as they have repeated time and again, is that they want to see the back of the PPP/C administration…. It follows, therefore, that they will work towards that end; they are doing everything in their will to realise their objective.”

He maintained that while the Party’s “thrust towards a national democracy” has taken into account, and will continue to take into account, the matter of shared governance, trust building towards a national democracy requires multi-stakeholder participation.

PPP calls on GECOM to explain surge in new PLE - following field operative’s damning find

THE ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) last week wrote the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) highlighting some of the concerns it has with the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE).

One of those concerns has to do with the steep surge in names, amounting to over 78,000 new registrants, on the PLE, when, traditionally, new registrants amount to approximately 11,000.

Noting that GECOM is yet to respond to the missive, the PPP says in a statement issued yesterday, “The letter was sent to GECOM last Thursday, August 14, after one of our field operatives found eighteen (18) persons on the PLE with the same Georgetown address. At the said address, they found one of the eighteen people with a prepared list of the eighteen that were listed.”

Noting that it found this development very unusual, the Party said: “While it may be possible that these eighteen persons are living at that address we call on GECOM to physically verify these persons’ existence and their place of residence.

“The PPP has been submitting irregularities to GECOM on an ongoing basis rather than wait until the Claims and Objections period concludes since this period last for only 28 days and we are only ten (10) days away from its conclusion.”

CALLS ON GECOM Taking the foregoing into account, the Party is also calling on GECOM to give a breakdown on the quality control mechanism used for inputting data from the National Register of Registrants Database (NRRD) into the PLE and who was

responsible for it.

A call was also made via a statement from the Ruling Party yesterday at its weekly news conference at Freedom House, Robb Street, for an account of the critical vacancies that are yet to be filled, particularly at the Information Technology (IT) Department, and why was it only acted upon when highlighted by the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

In Addition, the Party’s statement issued a call for an International Monitoring Unit (IMU) or Joint International Technical Assistance (JITA to be implemented by GECOM, to overlook the inputting and evaluation of critical and important data.

The Party said that ensuring that there is a clean, accurate and credible voters list is the first ingredient for the holding of free and fair elections, and urged all Guyanese to expose any type of discrepancies that may surface during the current Claims and Objections period.

The statement said, “We call on all Guyana to support the PPP’s concerns with respect to discrepancies arising out of the registration process and the production of a Preliminary List of Electors.

VERIFICATION BY POLITICAL PARTIES “GECOM should be reminded that political parties were given copies of the Preliminary Voters List to scrutinize.

Further, it is the prerogative of political parties to monitor the current Claims and Objections exercise and to report its findings of malpractices to GECOM for their corrective action.”

According to the statement, it is GECOM’s responsibility to inform the public that the political parties are in possession of the PLE and therefore will be carrying out house-to-house visits to check on the Preliminary List of Electors 2014, which is a right enjoyed by the political parties over the years.

“Given a mandate by the electorate to represent almost half of the country’s population, the PPP intends to ensure that there is complete transparency during the registration process and at GECOM itself,” the ruling party said.

The PPP, according to its statement, is of view that GECOM is better prepared for General Elections rather than Local Government Elections, especially since GECOM has shown a total lack of preparations for the holding of Local Government Elections under the new electoral system.

The party also reiterated their stand on the claims of list padding, and demanded that GECOM produce the evidence of their claims on the impersonators’ posing as GECOM officials in Region 1 (Barima/Waini).

“The PPP found it was quite extraordinary that on the very day GECOM claimed there were GECOM impersonators on the ground at Region 1 soon after APNU made the same allegations. This hasty and unfounded claim by GECOM about impostors was made before checking the accuracy of the allegation, put the lives of PPP activists at risk.

“We reiterate our call for more diligent work to be done by GECOM in keeping with its standard operational procedures. In the meanwhile, the PPP will remain vigilant in its efforts to ensure that GECOM generates a clean and acceptable voters list,” the statement concluded.

PPP condemns Opposition’s consistent, calculated attacks on Chinese - with help of Kaieteur News/Stabroek News

THE sustained and calculated attacks perpetrated on foreign investors, particularly the Chinese, by the combined Opposition -- A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) -- and the two media houses, Stabroek News and Kaieteur News, is cause for grave concern by the People’s Progressive Party, which has, in a statement, issued calls for an immediate halt to such unwarranted attacks.

An attack on one ethnic group is an attack on all Guyanese, the PPP statement has said, adding that these attacks run counter to the hospitable character of Guyana, and can only damage and disgrace our motto of one people, one nation, one destiny.

At its weekly news conference held at Freedom House on Robb Street, the PPP has said that these attacks are in blatant contradiction to the call for investments. There must be no discrimination against Chinese investors. The Opposition and the Kaieteur News and Stabroek News have persistently accused the PPP/C Administration of not doing enough to encourage foreign investors, which, according to them, is badly needed to create jobs and bolster the economy, the PPP has said.

The PPP recalled that, during the last election campaign, the Opposition spared no effort to convince Guyanese that foreign investors would be welcomed were they to be elected to office, and that the PPP/C Government has not done enough to make Guyana an investment hub.

“True to their nature and attempts at hoodwinking the nation, the Opposition (have) not only endeavoured to discourage and chase away foreign investors, they have whipped up media frenzy (as a) conduit for such attacks. The Kaieteur News willingly agreed to be the hand maiden of the political Opposition campaign,” the ruling party said.

TARGETED ATTACKS The ruling party has stated it is confident that the targeted attacks are directed at the Chinese people, in spite of their

industrious predisposition, which is evident throughout the world.

The statement said: “This industrious nature of the Chinese people has redounded beneficially to the economies of many nations, and has impacted positively on the lives of many.

Our Party wishes to remind the Opposition and the Kaieteur News that we live in a multi-ethnic society, with our peoples cohabiting in harmony, sharing and celebrating each other’s culture and traditions. This is evident through all of our national festivals, everyday way of life, and events that serve to bring our people together.”

The PPP has dubbed the Chinese an integral part of Guyana’s identity, sharing common bonds of indentureship with other ethnic groups. The party acknowledged that since setting foot on these shores, Chinese contributions to Guyana, like the contributions of all other ethnic groups, have been immeasurable and invaluable.

“As we are all aware, the Chinese who have made this land their home are Guyanese first and foremost. Those Chinese, who have demonstrated confidence and the will to contribute to the development of Guyana, must be encouraged and must not be victims of hostile political and media propaganda bordering on xenophobia,” the ruling party said.

ATTEMPTS MADE BY OPPOSITION The PPP is urging all Guyanese to remain cognizant of the numerous attempts by the Opposition, pre- and post- the “mofyah, slow fire” era, to destabilize Guyana, stymie business enthusiasm, and bring harm to the economy.

“It must be recalled that every single protest they mounted in the City targeted the business community directly. Many businesses were burnt, and innocent Guyanese beaten and robbed, whenever such protests took place. The intention was to bring Guyana to its knees, so that companies and individuals contemplating opportunities for investments in Guyana would seek alternative

destinations,” the party stressed.

Additionally, the PPP seeks to remind that the Opposition, aided by sections of the media, has made no meaningful contribution in working with the Government to implement projects funded by local and foreign investment.

The statement explained, “Guyanese must never forget the extent the Opposition and their media cohorts went to discourage the foreign investors - the Amaila Hydro Project, specialty hospital, the modernized Cheddi Jagan International Airport, it’s anti-investment actions, coupled with the unconscionable cuts to the country’s annual budgets, are designed to harm the economy and deprive Guyanese of a more modern nation and a brighter future.

“The PPP is convinced that these anti-business and anti-development actions by the Opposition are nothing but attempts to return this now prosperous nation to a state of bankruptcy, a hallmark of their weak administration.”

In regard to the Bai Shan Lin issue and the Opposition and Kaieteur News’ constant attacks, the PPP explained that according to the pronouncements of the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), the company (Bai Shan Lin) has not exceeded its harvest level, and their operations confirm to guidelines based on international best practices and conservative extraction.

The PPP reiterated its call on the Kaieteur News and the Opposition parties to desist from their unfounded, unwarranted, and profit-circulation-oriented attacks on Bai Shan Lin, and to work towards encouraging foreign investors to invest in our country, so that Guyana and all its people would benefit from the related economic prosperity.

“In this now (globally) competitive environment, our country can afford nothing less than all hands on deck in an effort to create and secure a brighter future for all. Our Party remains committed to this cause, and urge Guyanese to reject all attempts to disparage any ethnic group and to deter much needed foreign investments for our country,” the statement said.

Rohee: AML/CFT Bill apparently ‘dead in the water’ GENERAL-Secretary of the ruling People’s Progressive Party, Mr Clement Rohee, surmises that the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill is “dead in the water”, given the current state of affairs.

“The AML appears to be dead in the water. They (the Opposition) are not making any changes,” he said at a press briefing held at Freedom House yesterday.

The Government is currently preparing for a “targeted review”, as mandated by the international watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Rohee disclosed, adding: “The preparations are ongoing for the targeted review to take place, but as far as the Opposition and their views on the AML/CFT Bill (are concerned), I haven’t discerned any significant shift from their position. It hasn’t changed.”

Prior to yesterday’s comments, Rohee had, earlier this

month, bemoaned the continued non-meetings of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee reviewing the AML/ CFT (Amendment) Bill, and had noted that the party was not optimistic that the Bill would be passed before the FATF’s meeting in October.

In a letter dated July 9, 2014, FATF officially confirmed its decision to commence a targeted review of Guyana prior to its October 2014 plenary meeting; and the international watchdog body made it clear that the purpose of that targeted review would be to examine the most significant deficiencies in Guyana’s AML/CFT framework that pose a risk to the international financial system.

FATF has said that its review will identify steps that should be taken to address those deficiencies through the development of an action plan.

The international watchdog’s letter had said: “This review

will be conducted by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG), co-chaired by Ms. Darlene Boileau (Canada) and Ms. Maria Fernanda Garcia-Yrigoyen Maúrtua (Peru).

“In our capacity as ICRG Co-Chairs, we now request your full cooperation in assisting the ARRG to conduct this work, including by providing up-to-date information on your jurisdiction related to AML and CFT issues, as requested by the ARRG co-chairs.”

The letter indicated that Guyana would be given an opportunity to review the draft targeted review, and to have a face-to-face meeting with the ARRG, which is expected to happen sometime in September.

At its next meeting, between October 20/24, 2014 in Paris, France, the FATF is expected to discuss the results of Guyana’s targeted review. (Vanessa Narine)

Creating a problem to solicit ‘donations’

RESIDENTS and motorists at various Georgetown locations have complained about youths destroying sections of the roadways, creating potholes, then refilling them and soliciting monies from passersby for ‘work’ done.

This Cullen Bess-Nelson photo (blurred to protect the identities of the minors) shows three youngsters filling a pothole on a road in West Ruimveldt, and holding out boxes for ‘donations’.

Meanwhile, this practice is not new, and the Guyana Police Force some time ago had observed that persons were soliciting monies for various activities from members of the public along the roadways without the relevant permission.

“The law is clear on this, in that persons must first obtain the written permission of the relevant authority before engaging in such activity,” the police had said.

The police also stated that “under the law permission to conduct such activities is required beforehand. Anyone found in breach of this legal requirement will be dealt with according to the law.”

PPP Executives to formally discuss AFC’s no-confidence motion

EXECUTIVES of the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) are expected to formally meet to discuss the no-confidence motion moved against the Government by the minority Alliance for Change (AFC) Party and submitted to the National Assembly via its Clerk, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs.

This is according to Party General-Secretary, Mr. Clement Rohee at a press briefing yesterday at Freedom House, where, in answer to a particular question on the subject, he said, “Our executives will have to meet and discuss on that.”

The first inkling the public had that the AFC planned moving a no-confidence motion against the Government was way back in mid-June, when Party Vice-Chairman, Mr Moses Nagamootoo hinted at it.

He did so by way of an article published in the Stabroek News and headlined, ‘AFC considering no-confidence motion against Gov’t’.

He, however, acknowledged that to do so would require the support of the Main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

The AFC finally got its wish on Tuesday, August 5, when APNU Leader, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger, publicly confirmed that his Party was fully behind the no-confidence motion.

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

Last Friday, President Donald Ramotar, rather than commit himself to a definitive answer, simply stated that any decision related to

the no-confidence motion, including the possibility of calling snap elections, will be made “at the appropriate time.”

According to the pundits, should snap elections not be called before a debate on the Motion, the current administration is expected to be disbanded in preparation for a return to the polls.

As stated in Section 106 (6) of the Constitution: “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.”

This is made even clearer in Section 106 (7), which states: “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 last time general elections were held in Guyana was in November 2011.

‘JAGS Aviation’ adds ‘brand new baby’ to its fleet –sets sight on burgeoning tourism industry

The state-of-the-art pilot’s display screens The spanking new aircraft

By Ravin Singh HISTORY was made in Guyana last Sunday when JAGS Aviation, the aviation arm of BK Group of Companies, added a brand new Cessna Grand Caravan to Guyana’s domestic aviation services, to aid in boosting local tourism.

The US$3M Cessna Grand Caravan 208B EX, which landed in Guyana at approximately 18:00hrs on Sunday last, was acquired directly from the manufacturer, making JAGS Aviation the first private sector entity to acquire an aircraft straight off the production line.

Manufactured in the United States, the Caravan is able to seat 13 passengers comfortably, and is the first aircraft purchased by JAGS since its acquisition by the BK Group of Companies in June.

This has signalled the start of the fleet’s expansion, resulting from the BK Group’s new investment. As such, the chartered company JAGS will seek, through this initiative, to continue its expansion into an airline with scheduled commuting.

The new aircraft is described as one that is ahead of all other Caravans currently operating in Guyana, because it is equipped with a full ‘stol’ kit, which enables short field take-off and landing, allowing the craft to operate on smaller hinterland

airstrips. The craft is also outfitted with state-ofthe-art avionics.

According to Chief Pilot of JAGS Aviation Inc. Patrick Nichols: “This machine can be described as a state-of-the-art caravan, which carries you into the future of avia-

tion.” He explained that the aircraft’s features are of the highest standards, providing flying details “ordinary” caravans cannot facilitate.

Nichols expounded on the fact that the features provided for include those of a compass display of the routes, and a terrain feature which signals a warning through a red

light within one hundred feet of the terrain, and illustrating the outline of the terrain. Added to that, the aircraft will facilitate full instrumental approaches, which are a series of predetermined manoeuvres for the orderly transfer of an aircraft under instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) from the beginning

Police concludes successful 2014 Children’s Camp

By Leroy Smith

GOOD food, fun, treats, treasure hunting, outdoor and indoor activities, and a huge camp fire were some of the hallmarks of the Guyana Police Force 2014 Children’s Camp which concluded last Friday at the Kuru Kuru Training College on the Linden/Soesdyke High-

way, EBD. This Police Force camp was held under the theme “Empowering Youth through Social Partnership for a Better Guyana,” and commenced one day after the closure of the “A” Division Camp which was organised by Commander Hicken and mothered by Assistant Superintendent, Desiree Fowler.

While ill health and difficulty adapting to camping conditions had forced several students to return to their parents prematurely, others who had stayed the course all seemed very thrilled during the one-week session away from home.

The children put on a small formal closing ceremony for the senior officers of the Force, who travelled

from the city to be with them. Asst Commissioner, Balram Persaud, performing the duties of Commissioner of Police, was present at the closing ceremony.

It was worthy to note that organisers and care-givers of the camp were given positive reviews. Coordinator of the camp, Senior Superintendent Maxine Graham, who was credited

with doing a splendid job in ensuring that the camp was successful and that each child expressed an interest in returning next year, did not take the praise for herself, but indicated that Camp Mother Desiree Fowler, other female police officers, members of the security team, and other support staff also played a very important role in the

successful staging of the camp.

The camp was visited by senior officers during the course of the week; and following its formal closing ceremony on Friday, the children sang and danced around the campfire under the intense supervision of their camp elders, an activity which brought the curtains down on this year’s camp.

on-board oxygen tank to accommodate high-altitude flying or medi-vac purposes, a feature which most aircraft eliminate, so as to reduce weight.

This will, however, be available for passengers and crew members when peaking great heights for aerial views, something which most craft are not permitted to do because of limited oxygen availability.

Even the engine, as described by Nichols, is one which is “high-powered”, and not found in normal aircraft.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the arrival of the new Caravan on Sunday, JAGS Aviation Director, Briony Tiwarie said, “The aviation arm of the BK Group (is) operating today through our recent acquisition, JAGS Aviation, which represents the vision, energy and efforts of the next generation of the Tiwarie family.

“We are building on the achievements of the generation before us, and we are willing to take the initiative and invest in new and diverse sectors, like aviation.”

She related that even though JAGS Aviation is but a chartered company, the idea of the establishment of an airline is an initiative which would be

considered as expansion of the aviation arm of the company continues.

The Director noted that, over the years, the company was recognised for construction; but has now embarked on a new journey into aviation in support of Guyana’s tourism, mining, and other activities; and JAGS Aviation seeks to uphold the BK Group’s standards in providing quality service.

Moreover, the entity will expand.

As such, the sole purpose of the aircraft, she related, will be to provide an unforgettable travel experience for those seeking to explore Guyana’s richness.

Labour Minister Dr Nanda Gopaul attended Sunday’s function and endorsed the private initiative of moving into aviation from construction.

He noted that it is the first time in the Caribbean that such has happened, and he said he heartily welcomes the move.

On behalf of the Government of Guyana, Minister Gopaul pledged his support to the BK Group of Companies, while recognising the magnitude of the investment.

He extended his support towards developmental initiatives such as this.

“They moved because they believed that Guyana

has a place where a local company can operate with the sky as the limit” he said.

Gopaul noted that, like information technology, aviation is also ever-changing. As such, he said, training must be priority, and the Government stands ready to support BK Group of Companies in this venture, to the benefit of Guyana.

Chairman of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, Dr Hugh Denbow, who was also present, echoed the sentiments of Minister Gopaul, and stressed on the nature of

15

the aviation sector, which has a “changing face”.

As such, Denbow highlighted the challenges faced in the world of aviation, noting that the aviation business has seen a demise of qualified and experienced staff, and urging JAGS Aviation Inc. to step up its game and pursue training continuously to stay ahead.

Aries - March 21 - April 19 Stop worrying. First of all, you know how you get when you're stressed; it's not pretty, and it hasn't been what most often wins you friends -- especially since your sign virtually wrote the book on the subject. Then, too, there's the fact that if you play your cards right, you can make not just a new friend, but cross paths with someone who might be exactly right for you. There now, isn't that enough inspiration to keep you calm?

Taurus - April 20 - May 20 Don't you dare ignore the phone, no matter who's been absolutely driving you crazy trying to chase you down, and how hard you've been working to continue avoiding them. If they do happen to catch you, you'll think of a reason to hang up quickly -- and if you get lucky, the person on the other end will be the one you've been thinking about for what seems like forever. It'll be worth it.

Gemini - May 21 - June 21 Your way with words is famous. It's so famous, in fact, that you can keep company with just about anyone you want to, whenever you want to. That fact will go double right now, so do yourself a favour. Don't waste this energy. Gabbing with just about everyone is what you're famous for, but save the best for that certain someone who actually responds to your wit with some pretty keen comments of their own.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22 You're not in the mood for happy hour, but if there's any way at all you can force yourself to go out after work, even if it's just for a little while, you won't regret it.

The heavens are brimming over with fun energy -- the stuff that lively, unexpected conversations are made of -- and if you've been hiding out, that might be just what the doctor ordered. Even if you haven't, get out there. Too much time alone isn't good for anyone -- especially you.

Leo - July 23 - August 22 You may not have absolutely everything you want, but you're close, aren't you?

Close enough to see that one of your major goals is about to be realised, right? Don't be overanxious. The universe is definitely on your side -- oh, and so is that certain someone you've been attracted to for what seems like forever -- but don't try to rush things along. First off, it won't work. It never does. Nothing happens until all conditions are right.

Virgo - August 23 - September 22 You're golden now -- in several departments. For starters, career matters will go along exactly the way you'd planned, provided that you stick to your plan. When it comes to relationships, the news is even better. If you're attached, stick close to home and be sure your loved one knows how precious they are to you. If you're not, don't be shy.

Get yourself out there. The person you're looking for is on the hunt, too.

Libra - September 23 - October 22 Been thinking about getting away from it all? Well, why not? You're probably overdue, for starters, but this month, you have all kinds of wonderful excuses (oops -- reasons?) to hit the highway. Here's a hint, by the way: If you're attached, heading homeward to make those introductions wouldn't be a bad idea now. If you're still single, you might be surprised at who else is, too. Like maybe the one you thought had gotten away for good?

Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 No one ever said that getting into a truly meaningful conversation with you was for the faint of heart -- and it's a good bet that no one ever will. Still, though, it's only fair that you warn anyone who gets a little too close to a subject that's especially dear to you. Think of it this way: If they don't change the subject to something lighter, and if they can actually keep up with you, the two of you may have a future.

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 Someone you've been just dying to confide in -- to confide your really deep, really meaningful feelings to -- is absolutely wide open to those feelings right now. The time is right for you to sit down, have a nice, long chat with that person and subtly work your way toward the topic you want to cover. Oh, and don't be surprised if they open the discussion before you do.

Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 After all the good work you've done lately, asking for that raise, bonus or promotion should be a piece of cake. You're confident that you've earned it, but as usual, you're feeling a bit on the humble side and wondering why they haven't yet offered it to you.

Well, remember that old adage about the squeaky wheel getting the grease? It's true.

Step right up, tell your superiors that you deserve this, and do it in a startling, sudden fashion. They'll admire your tenacity.

Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 That last full Moon convinced you that it was finally time to bring up the topic you'd been avoiding -- that elephant in the room that you and your sweetheart have not been able to mention. Well, here's your opportunity. Clear your throat and start, right back at the beginning. It may be tough to get the show on the road, but just imagine how relieved you'll both be when it's all finally been said.

Pisces - February 19 - March 20 If any sign is famous for being psychic, it's yours. So when someone new crosses your path -- especially if it's under coincidental circumstances, you pay special attention to everything about them. That's unless you're being distracted by something else you're famous for: Romance. Both are due to come your way today -- and yes, it may be via the same person. Stay on your toes. This is your official notice.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday August 19, 2014

Guyana Police Sports Club named overall champions WITH some of Guyana’s leading athletes in the camp, including Olympian and Commonwealth Games representative Winston George, the Guyana Police Force Sports Club were crowned Champions of the 2014 Boyce and Jefford Track and Field Classic, which came to a fitting climax at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground in Linden on Sunday night.

Behind George’s sensational 100, 200 and 400M performances, the Lyndon Wilson-coached Police Sports Club amassed a total of 406 points, beating their arch rivals Guyana Defence Force by a whopping 248 points as the army men and women had to settle for second place.

Mercury Fast Laners were third (114) and Christianburg/ Wismar Secondary Track Club were a surprising fourth (102) with Upper Demerara Schools (80) rounding off the top five.

For their dazzling display on the track and on the field, the

Police won $600 000. The GDF team took home $400 000, Mercury Fast Laners $250 000 and Christianburg/ Wismar Secondary Track Club $150 000.

The Boyce and Jefford meet celebrated their fifth year and the meet has established itself as Guyana’s premier Track and Field championship, since it attracts some of the country’s and the Caribbean’s top athletes.

Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallist Aliann Pompey, Olympian and World Championships attendee Marian Burnett are

two of the big names who have so far competed at the event.

This year, World Junior Championship representative Brenessa Thompson and Winston George were the stand-out athletes who thrilled the massive crowd in Linden with some sensational performances on the track, while on the field, Natasha Alder was unstoppable.

Patrick King did well enough to claim the Long Jump title while Linden’s Winston Caesar had no match on his way to winning the men’s triple jump.

Déjà vu for `Jackie Chan’ as Alpha United face MLS’ Portland Timbers tonight

By Rawle Toney GUYANA’S Alpha United will lock horns with Major League Soccer’s (MLS) Portland Timbers tonight from 20:00hrs at the Guyana National Stadium when the two sides meet in the CONCACAF Champions League.

The match is important for both sides, especially for Alpha United who had lost their first game 1-0 to Deportivo Olimpia.

It will be the first time an MLS team will be playing in Guyana and since both are debutants at the CONCACAF showpiece, it is expected that fans will certainly be in for treat.

Alpha coach Wayne Dover, arguably Guyana’s best coach and most successful as well, pointed out that they are focusing on attacking since the Guyanese were guilty of misfiring and squandering several certain goal chances.

But for one Alpha United player, he has a score to settle.

Gregory `Jackie Chan’ Richardson would always be remembered by most MLS teams for his devastating display of skills, speed and most importantly, his goalscoring ability when he singlehandedly dismantled MLS

side New England Revolution in the 2008/09 Champions League while playing for Joe Public of Trinidad and Tobago.

While it’s indeed five years since the striker grabbed the attention of the world, from it, he was able to land an MLS contract with the Colorado Rapids to become the first Guyanese to play in the MLS; this is not the first time Richardson is facing the Timbers.

After being waived by the Rapids, Richardson landed in the nest of the Carolina Rail Hawks, who competed in the United Soccer League which sits one tier behind the MLS. Before the Timbers switched owners from Shortstop to Peregrine Sports (though Merritt Paulson still has majority ownership), they competed in the USL. Richardson was the Rail Hawks’ marksman and being down a goal, they looked to the Guyanese to equalise, but his bicycle kick was cleared from goal by now football analyst Ross Smith.

His Rail Hawks team lost the game 1-0 to the Timbers.

Richardson is, by far, coach Dover’s most experienced player at this tournament, given the fact the striker, who is more popularly known as ‘Jackie

Chan’, has seven career CONCACAF Champions League goals – five with Joe Public in the 2008/09 season and two with Puerto Rico Islanders, scoring one each in the 2011/12 and 2012/2013 tournaments.

Kithson Bain also played with the Rail Hawks in 2011 but the Grenada National striker is playing in his second CONCACAF Champions League; making his debut with Trinidad’s Caledonia AIA last year, even scoring in his first game.

Dover said that his side will play a more pressuring game, with the aim of forcing the Americans into errors in their defensive third and for Alpha United to capitalise on their chances by scoring goals; something they did not do in the game against Olimpia.

Dover pointed out that during training, the team spent a lot of time working on their offensive patterns, doing a lot of goal-scoring drills.

With Portland Timbers having a busy MLS schedule, it is believed that coach Caleb Porter will rely on his reserves to at least salvage a point before heading back to the U.S. where they will face Seattle on Sunday.

Sri Lanka win gives Jayawardene perfect sendoff .. Herath takes 14 wickets as Sri Lanka seal 2-0 series win

The Sri Lankan team with the series trophy after beating Pakistan on the fifth day.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Former captain Mahela Jayawardene was given a fairytale sendoff in his last Test match as Sri Lanka eased to a 105-run victory that completed a 2-0 series sweep over Pakistan yesterday.

The victory enabled batting stalwart Jayawardene to end his 149-Test career with a victory on an emotional day for the 37-year-old, who scored 11 814 runs at an average of 49.84.

“Thank you so much for all the wishes! Got up and realised it’s my last day. Bit emotional but the journey has been great!”

Jayawardene tweeted before play began as he pouched two more catches to finish with a world record Test tally of 205.

“The boys turned up to win these two Tests for Mahela.

The amount of work that he has done in the past 17 years is unbelievable,” Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews told

reporters.

“I just want to thank Mahela personally I am glad that he is there with us for six more months in the ODI (one-day) format until the next world cup.

“We won the Test series for him and it was an emotional day for everyone but all good things come to an end,” he added.

After ripping through the Pakistan order the previous evening, Sri Lanka were forced to wait for nearly

an hour before capturing the last two wickets with Ranagana Herath claiming his 14th victim of the match to dismiss the tourists for 165 in their second innings.

Wahab Riaz was the last man out for 17 when he top-edged a delivery from Herath to cover that Kaushal Silva held on to despite colliding with Kumar Sangakkara, who was also attempting to catch the ball. Junaid Khan did not bat due to injury.

At the fall of the final wicket, all thoughts turned to the departing Jayawardene, who first met with his parents and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa in his VIP suite before returning to the field to be hoisted on the shoulders of his team mates and carried around the ground.

HERATH BRILLIANCE Earlier, Chanaka Welegedara dismissed the last front line batsman when Sarfraz Ahmed, having completed his fourth fifty in as many innings, attempted to sweep the paceman from outside off stump and hit the ball straight to Sangakkara at square leg.

Sarfraz scored 55 off 89 balls

with two fours.

Saeed Ajmal was left stranded on three not out as Herath took another five wickets to add to his nine in the first innings for a career-best return of 14-184, earning him the man-of-thematch and series awards.

“Herath is unbelievable; he single-handedly won us the two Tests,” Mathews said.

“The way he bowled in the series even the best batsmen in the world would have found it difficult to negotiate him.”

Pakistan captain Misbah-ulHaq highlighted Herath’s brilliant bowling, completing the series with 23 wickets at an average of 15.13, as the key to Sri Lanka’s dominance.

“Credit should be given to Sri Lanka for the way they played but Herath was the difference between the two teams,” Misbah said.

“We played him pretty well in the past series in Dubai but this time I could really say that he bowled very well and he was a totally different bowler.

“That created a problem for us. In the past, we played him better than this ... it’s not an excuse, instead we are meant to appreciate

Farewell hero Jayawardene, still chasing World Cup dream COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Former captain Mahela Jayawardene left the Test scene yesterday, vowing to devote his energies towards helping Sri Lanka win another 50-over World Cup next year in Australia and New Zealand.

Sri Lanka last won the World Cup in 1996 and were beaten in the final in 2007 and 2011.

The 37-year-old Jayawardene ended his Test career on a high as his team beat Pakistan by 105 runs to take the two-match series 2-0.

Victory sparked memorable scenes with the master batsman congratulated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa before being carried around the ground by his team mates amid the lighting of firecrackers.

“Right now I don’t have any plans and I’ve not signed any contracts,” Jayawardene told a packed news conference. “It all depends on what kind of interest

I get in the next six months or so.

“For me right now the thing is to get myself motivated for the next World Cup, to get myself fit and ready. I can’t guarantee I will be part of the squad but my focus will be to try to get another winner’s medal.”

Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara were given a fitting farewell when they retired from Twenty20 cricket as Sri Lanka beat India in the final in Dhaka in April.

Right-hander Jayawardene, who compiled 11 814 runs at an average of 49.84 in his 149 Tests, said the most treasured moment of his 17year international career was getting his hands on his first cap.

BEST DAY He made his debut against India in Colombo in 1997 in a match where Sri Lanka amassed the highest total in Test cricket - 952 for six declared.

“The best day of my life was receiving my first Test cap from captain Arjuna Ranatunga,” said

Jayawardene. “I place a huge value on that cap.

“I feel very honoured to wear this cap and it’s not an easy thing to let go.

“This is a great thing in Sri Lanka cricket. Everyone wears it with a lot of pride and passion.”

Jayawardene said it was the “right time” to quit the longer form of the game.

“The decision for me to retire was something I have been thinking about for some time,” he explained. “It was just a gut feeling but I’ve always gone with my gut feeling.

“Given the fact that we won’t have any home Test cricket for another 12 months it’s time for a new generation to take over and move on.

“I will try and help in that rebuilding process as far as I can but I don’t think I have the patience to become a coach having played in the team for 17 years,” said Jayawardene.

Chaos over as Shaharyar returns to Pakistan hot seat KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - A spell of chaos and uncertainty in Pakistan cricket came to an end yesterday when Shaharyar Khan was elected unopposed for his second stint as chairman of the national board.

Shaharyar, 80, also held the post from 2003-06 before being removed by the government following the infamous ball-tampering controversy which led to the team forfeiting a Test match against England.

Pakistan refused to play on in protest after Australian umpire Darrell Hair penal-

ised them during the fourth Test at The Oval.

An inquiry by the International Cricket Council eventually cleared the players of ball-tampering.

“It is notified that Shaharyar M. Khan, i.e. the sole candidate for the office, has been unanimously elected as chairman of the PCB,” the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement.

Shaharyar’s return for a three-year term came in a new electoral process held under a fresh board constitution.

It ended a period of

turmoil during which his predecessors, Najam Sethi and Zaka Ashraf, were involved in a bitter tussle for the job.

Shaharyar’s election came three months after the Islamabad High Court declared Ashraf’s election null and void.

The court twice reinstated Ashraf, bringing about chaos and uncertainty because the government had also appointed Najam Sethi as chairman in June.

MUSICAL CHAIRS Several former players described the ‘musi-

Shaharyar Khan is elected unopposed for his second stint as PCB chairman. cal chairs’ confusion as a comedy of errors and bad

for the image of Pakistan cricket.

Last month the Supreme Court accepted a new constitution and appointed a caretaker chairman and election commissioner. The repeated reinstatements by the Islamabad High Court were also declared null and void.

“Let us hope there is now some semblance of order and continuity in Pakistan cricket affairs,” said former chief executive Arif Abbasi.

Shaharyar immediately gave his support to captain and senior batsman Misbah-ul-Haq who is

under-fire following Pakistan’s 2-0 Test series defeat by Sri Lanka earlier yesterday.

The career diplomat told reporters that Misbah, 40, would remain in charge until the 50-over World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next year.

“I am not going to press any panic button,” he said.

“I believe in continuity in cricket matters and a few bad results don’t mean we start talking about removing Misbah as captain.”

Misbah has been Test captain since 2010 and ODI skipper since 2011.

Resurgent Federer books ATP World Tour Finals berth LONDON, England (Reuters) - A resurgent Roger Federer has qualified for a record 13th consecutive ATP World Tour Finals in comfortable fashion, in marked contrast to 2013 when he squeezed in the week before the end-ofseason tournament in London.

Roger Federer Federer, 33, claimed his sixth Western and Southern Open title in Cincinnati on Sunday with victory over Spain’s David Ferrer, the last key tune-up event for the U.S. Open.

The result was good enough for him to become the third man to qualify for the eightplayer event, behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the world numbers one and two.

“It’s always one of the big goals I set myself at the beginning of the season,” Federer, a sixtime Finals winner, said in a statement.

“It’s always an absolute honour being part of the best eight.

Getting a chance to win an extra trophy at the end of the season - which is so prestigious, one of the biggest ones we have in the game and one I’ve done so well at - is a great feeling.”

The 17-time grand slam champion battled in 2013, winning just one title, suffering a shock second-round exit at Wimbledon and dropping outside the world top four for the first time in a decade.

Now back at number three, he has confounded those who said his career was coming to an end, going down in five sets to Djokovic in the Wimbledon final and winning three titles.

“Returning to the season finale is something I’ve been a part of since 2002, so to do it again is a privilege and I will try to play my very best there,” he added.

“I hope I can save some of my best for last.”

Broad left out of England one-day squad to face India (REUTERS) - Strike bowler Stuart Broad, one of the heroes of England’s 3-1 Test series victory against India, was yesterday left out of a 15-man squad for the five one-day internationals between the two teams.

Broad, who played for England at The Oval despite having a broken nose and two black eyes following an injury suffered during the fourth Test match in Manchester, will miss the series to have specialist examination and treatment of a chronic right knee injury.

Test captain Alastair Cook, who led England’s triumphant recovery after they had trailed 1-0 following defeat in the second Test, was selected to captain the one-day side.

Eleven of the 15 selected players were involved in the Test series.

Batsmen Alex Hales and Eoin Morgan and bowlers Harry Gurney and James Tredwell have also been selected.

England squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Jos Buttler, Steven Finn, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes.

The series begins in Bristol next Monday.

Fabregas impresses, Costa scores in Chelsea win

By Simon Evans BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - New signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas made an instant impact for Chelsea as they launched their Premier League title bid with a confident 3-1 win at promoted Burnley yesterday.

Former Arsenal midfielder Fabregas, brought in from Barcelona during the close season, was influential throughout the game, having a hand in all three Chelsea goals and striking up an impressive midfield pairing with Eden Hazard.

Chelsea recovered from conceding a 14th minute goal, quickly turning on the style in an impressive half hour spell to go in 3-1 up at the break.

Jose Mourinho’s side were content to see out the game in the second half as Burnley, tipped by many for relegation, put in a creditable professional display after the Londoners had threatened to run away with the game.

“I think we had a good reaction and the first part of that is that emotionally we were not affected by the goal we conceded,” said Mourinho.

“We kept playing according to the way we want to play, the players were calm and never lost

their composure and after that we had a fantastic 20-25 minutes with three goals, the second one a fantastic goal, and in the second half we had control of the game,” he said.

“I was a bit afraid because I know that my players are not still in the top physical form, ready to give the same kind of performance for 90 minutes so we lost a little bit of attacking appetite but the control of the game, of the possession was always there and I think we clearly deserved this three points against a side that is going to give a fight to everyone who comes here,” added the former Real Madrid coach, In a fiery atmosphere, the home side took a surprise lead with a superb drive from Scott Arfield after a fine run and pull back from Matt Taylor.

But any hopes the capacity home crowd at Turf Moor had of witnessing an upset were quickly dashed as Chelsea showed why so many bookmakers have them as favourites to win the title this season.

Three minutes after Arfield’s strike, Brazilianborn Spain international Costa, a close-season signing from Atletico Madrid, brought the Londoners level on his

Premier League debut – firing in after a Branislav Ivanovic cross-shot, following a Fabregas backheel, had come out off the post.

Four minutes later, Chelsea had the lead – Fabregas providing a beautiful first time pass to German World Cup winner Andre Schurrle who confidently drove home.

SLACK DEFENDING Burnley looked shellshocked and their manager Sean Dyche will be disappointed with the slack defending for Chelsea’s third as an unchallenged Ivanovic slotted in a Fabregas corner in the 34th minute.

Mourinho had raised some eyebrows by opting for Thibaut Courtois over Petr Cech in goal and the Belgian showed his quality shortly after the break to deny Arfield a second from a curling shot which he tipped wide.

Lancashire club Burnley, whose entire squad cost just a fraction of Costa’s reported £32 million transfer fee, will have taken some heart though from the way they applied themselves after the break, even if they rarely threatened to alter the scoreline.

Chelsea brought on Didier Drogba for his first official appearance of his

Champion Nadal out of U.S. Open with wrist injury (REUTERS) Champion Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the U.S. Open, which begins next Monday, after failing to recover from a right wrist injury.

The 28-year-old Spaniard sustained the injury in practice last month and had been training with a cast on his right wrist, forcing him to miss the Rogers Cup in Toronto and last week’s Cincinnati Open.

“I am very sorry to announce I won’t be able to play at this year’s U.S. Open,” the world number two said on Facebook yesterday.

“I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches,

so many things.

“Not much more I can do right now other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.”

The 14-time grand slam winner also triumphed at Flushing Meadows in 2010.

Despite missing the entire North American hardcourt campaign, Nadal had hoped to compete in New York, previously posting a picture of himself working on court with his uncle and coach Toni with a black wrist support clearly visible.

The left-hander, who plays with a double-handed backhand, won his ninth French Open title in June but has not played since losing in the fourth round to

Australian Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon on July 2.

It is another worrying setback for Nadal who has had to battle back from lengthy injury layoffs several times in his brilliant career.

After being sidelined for seven months with a knee problem, he returned in February 2013 to win 10 titles including grand slams in Paris and New York.

Injuries also caused Nadal to miss the defence of his Wimbledon title in 2009 and his Olympic crown in 2012.

The winner of 64 career singles titles, he has claimed four trophies this year and has set no time frame for a return to competition.

The U.S. Open will be held from August 25 to September 8.

Dyche said his team could only learn from playing against a top quality opponent so early in the

campaign.

“There has to be a reality to what we are hoping to achieve this season. I think they are top of the market or certainly up there.

“Overall I felt we kept going which was

important, that mentality will be important over the course of the season, the will and demand was there.

It is fair to say that they have so much quality in all areas and they can hurt you in any way,” he said.

India press turn on Dhoni’s team

INDIA’S media have lamented the “abject surrender” and “painful and predictable” series defeat to England with scathing commentary.

“All out for 94 in 29.2 overs. That farcical scoreline reflected India’s embarrassment of massive proportions and England’s complete domination”, wrote G Unnikrishnan in the Deccan Herald.

The Hindu’s Vijaya Kumar wrote: “The stench of defeat has become second nature to India” in an article headlined ‘India plumbs new depths’.

The Hindustan Times said MS Dhoni’s side “sank to a new low” in the fifth Test defeat by an innings and 244 runs, India’s third heaviest and 15th inside three days.

“Dhoni redeemed his reputation as a batsman, but the annihilation raised questions about his ability to take India forward, and the same is true for coach Duncan Fletcher,” author Sanjjeev K. Samyal wrote.

“There is need for accountability and the buck stops with the captain and coach. There was nothing wrong with the pitch, and in the same conditions, England scored 486.

“More than the margin of defeat, the manner of capitulation stood out, having thrown in the towel on the opening morning.

“The worst feeling was sitting in the skipper’s postmatch press conference, as one knew nothing was going to come out of it - no post-mortem or analysis. As far as Tests are concerned, there’s little hope for Indian cricket in this way”.

Writing for The Times of India, Jamie Alter predicted the Test series would now give England the upper hand in the coming one-day series against the reigning World Cup champions.

“The good news is that the Test series is over,” wrote Alter. “The bad news is that the shellackings received in three consecutive Tests may carry into the ODI series, and that the team’s confidence is

shattered. Fans of this team have little to feel cheerful about.

“Some will find this a harsh assessment, but with a little tweaking, the infamous description that was

used to describe Ian Botham’s England when they touched down in Australia for the 1986-87 Ashes can be applied to this Indian side: Can’t bat, can’t bowl, can’t field.” (CA)

TTCB brings back 3-Day domestic cricket

Azim Bassarath PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) president Azim Bassarath is expecting more intense matches in the 2015 domestic National League season after his executive signed off on some major changes for next season which he hopes will help raise the standard of the local competition.

Among them is the re-introduction of three-day cricket as well as the reduction in the number of teams in the Premier Division from 12 to ten and the introduction of an eight-team second division which will be called the Premier Two. The rest of the Championship Division clubs will make up the three eight-team Championship Divisions - North Central, East North East and

South.

Bassarath confirmed that the TTCB executive approved the changes at their last executive meeting and said all the changes were geared towards raising the standard of cricket in T&T and were recommended by the clubs themselves when the TTCB hosted a cricket symposium earlier this year.

He said from the complaints raised at the symposium, it was clear that change was needed.

“We felt we had to listen to the people and that is the reason we had further consultations with the clubs and further meetings with the zones and affiliates and we came up with this proposal,” said Bassarath.

“What was interesting was that we took it to the general membership of the board, the board agreed to it and I think only one person voted against. We got the support, so we moved forward,” he added.

“It is less teams now ... It will be more intense competition between the best teams and the cricket will be at a higher standard,” the TTCB boss added.

Bassarath also explained that the

introduction of three-day cricket was a move towards giving batsmen a chance to build an innings which he said will help them prepare for the regional fourday competition.

“One of the complaints we got was that in the two-day format, batsmen had to rush to get a score for their team. Now a batsman can build an innings and try to bat as long as possible. The regional tournament is a four-day game, and if we are to compete in the four-day competition, we feel our players really need to play three-day games,” said Bassarath.

The new format will see matches starting on Sunday and continuing on Saturday and Sunday the following weekend, with 90 overs being bowled per day as opposed to the two-day format from previous seasons.

“We know the cricket will be at a higher standard,” he added.

In the long term, Bassarath explained that for 2016, the TTCB will be looking to make further changes to have the Premier One cut down to eight teams. (Trinidad Express)

Canada win CONCACAF Girls Under-15 title … T&T claim third spot

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (CMC) – Raenah Campbell and Laurelle Theodore both struck braces as Trinidad and Tobago trounced Honduras 5-2 to claim third spot in the CONCACAF Girls’ Under-15 Championship here Sunday.

Playing at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, T&T showed a penchant for goals from the outset and were 4-0 up at half-time before holding their nerve in the second half as Honduras fought back.

Captain Lisbeth Bonilla struck twice in the space of nine minutes to spark some nervousness in the Trinidadian camp, but the English-speaking side battled to the end to close out an important win.

In the final, Canada were crowned champions of the inaugural tournament when they beat French Caribbean side Haiti, in a nervy penalty shoot-out.

Haiti led on 47 minutes when Nerilia Mondesir got on the scoresheet but Lauren Raimondo came off the bench to put Canada on level terms in the 74th minute.

Canada, however, dominated the ensuing penalty shootout, converting four of their kicks to Haiti’s one.

Meanwhile, T&T got off

Raenah Campbell strikes two goals for T&T. the mark quickly in their third place playoff, with Campbell getting on to the end of a through ball to beat goalkeeper Alexandra Padilla as early as the fourth minute.

Theodore then added two quick goals to put T&T up 3-0. She beat the offside trap in the 16th minute to get her first and then grabbed another four minutes later, tapping home a rebound after Shenieka Paul’s attempt was blocked.

The game was as good as over in the 34th minute when Kaydeen Jack was on hand to slot home a rebound from a Campbell effort.

Comfortably placed at halftime, T&T added another for good measure three minutes after the break through Campbell.

Bonilla struck in the 70th and 77th minutes but it was too little too late.

Bangladesh’s chance to add to their Caribbean success story

By Mohammad Isam BANGLADESH could not have asked for a better destination to play cricket than the West Indies in these late-summer months.

The beaches, mountains and the reggae immediately spring to mind but that is just part of it; this is one of only two places in the world from where Bangladesh have departed feeling better than when they arrived.

Having won nothing this year, without their best player, and with a new coaching crew in charge, they should be happy to be playing at a place where they have reached several milestones.

On their first tour there, in 2004, they took the lead for the first time, declared an innings and eventually drew abroad without the help of

Three years later, Bangladesh’s best World Cup campaign was in the West Indies, when they beat India to move into the Super Eight where they outplayed South Africa.

WICB praises Guyana’s Under-19 double success

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Allround praises are in store for Guyana as two weeks after winning their first three-day title following a seven-year drought, they were crowned Regional Under-19 One-Day winners.

President of the West Indies Cricket Board, Dave Cameron, is urging every member of the winning team to chase his dreams with lots of effort and passion.

“The dominance of Guyana at this level is encouraging and we are hoping these players will grow into becoming some of our better players at the senior level,” said Cameron.

The president in congratulating the team praised winners of individual awards and emphasised the importance of the tournaments of this kind as they help towards identifying players that may have the ability to play at the highest levels of the game and help restore the rich legacy of West Indies cricket.

“On behalf of the directors, management and staff of the WICB, congratulations to the Guyana Under-19 team at this wonderful moment of success,” said Cameron.

In 2009 they landed in the West Indies only to hear of a players’ strike that eventually had them playing against what was effectively a third eleven.

They went on to pick up their first overseas Test-series win, as well as a maiden away ODI-series victory outside Zimbabwe. The following year they were knocked out of the World T20 in the Caribbean in the first round, but not before resisting well against Pakistan and Australia.

But the performances in 2004, 2007 and 2009 are high-water marks in the history of Bangladesh cricket.

The expectation from the 2014 group should not be the same, but confidence and positivity can be derived from those past tours.

Habibul Bashar, Khaled

Mashud and Mohammad Rafique scored centuries in the same Test in 2004, the only time that has happened in a Bangladesh team.

Tapash Baisya and the late Manzarul Islam did a fine job with the ball in that year’s ODI series.

In the 2007 World Cup, it was the coming-out party for Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Abdur Razzak and Shakib Al Hasan while Mohammad Ashraful staged a mini-revival of his career with unbeaten knocks in the first round and 87 against South Africa in the second phase.

Shakib and Tamim were running the show two years later, with help from Mahmudullah.

Among the current lot

in the ODI squad, seven have toured the West Indies before while the likes of Mominul Haque, Nasir Hossain, Shamsur Rahman and Sohag Gazi have visited with Bangladesh-A. Only Anamul Haque, Taskin Ahmed and Al-Amin Hossain have not toured these islands.

Mushfiqur will have to lead from the front, using his batting form to inspire the team, and ensure the captaincy is far more effective than it had been at home since January this year. As much as he would want Tamim, Nasir, Mahmudullah, Razzak and Gazi to return to form, those in form will also be asked to continue the good work.

In his first match here four years ago, a baby-faced Mominul battered West Indies-A with 150 in exactly five hours.

He had shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 259 runs with Nasir, who also made a century in that game in Antigua. Mominul is now an established middle-order batsman in the senior side, expected to continue his Test form and regain composure in one-day cricket.

Anamul has also scored runs in the shorter format, though there will be some calls for him to better his strike-rate. Mushfiqur has been the team’s best batsman overall, while Imrul Kayes has done justice to both call-

ups he got this year, though a question mark remains over his consistency.

The pace attack came alive in the short ODI series against India in June; Taskin Ahmed became the country’s first bowler to take a five-for on ODI debut there.

Mashrafe Mortaza has led the attack well, with Al-Amin often providing a tight spell from the other end. Rubel Hossain, the leading wicket-taker among Bangladesh fast bowlers in ODIs this year, will have to fight for a place.

What would worry Mushfiqur is the spin attack, particularly with Shakib missing. Abdur Razzak and Sohag Gazi have been poor so far this year despite playing all their cricket in home conditions. They would be asked to continue to lead the show with the older ball, and must take an upward step.

Finally, this would be a stern opening test for new coach Chandika Hathurusingha. He has replaced Shane Jurgensen, who was seemingly doing a good enough job until everything went wrong in January this year.

The fallout between Jurgensen and the BCB should keep Hathurusingha on his toes, despite the early bonhomie that he has been accorded. (ESPN Cricinfo)

EBFA/MCYS U-14 Academy kicks off at Grove ground

WICB president Dave Cameron “We commend each member of the team for their personal commitment and sacrifice to play their part in this memorable achievement.

May this success inspire you and other young players to push for greater accomplishments in time to come.”

Cameron also took the opportunity to thank the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) for their sterling work in organising the Tournament without major incident.

“There is always an additional responsibility when you are entrusted with the care of young people and the GCB has shown enormous vigilance in ensuring that they were safe, comfortable and were able to focus on the purpose for which they came,” said Cameron.
